Ketchikan city, borough expand housing assistance – households earning less than $84K eligible for monthly grant
Posted by Eric Stone | Sep 14, 2020
More Ketchikan residents are eligible for an expanded rental and mortgage assistance program. That's after Ketchikan's city and borough governments earmarked a combined $5.8 million of federal pandemic relief funding for the program.
The locally run program is changing in two key ways: First, assistance is now available to households earning as much as $84,427 a year. That's 120% of the median income in the area — which means more than half of Ketchikan-area households are now eligible. Previously, only households that made less than $69,840 were eligible.
The other key change is that now, officials are offering up to four months of rental and mortgage assistance for residents who have taken an economic hit from the pandemic.
James Johnson is with Community Connections, the Ketchikan nonprofit handling applications.
"We are able to now have people apply on a monthly basis for the next four months. They will need to continue applying each month, and that's to certify that they do have an ongoing financial burden, but yes, one could potentially be approved for four months, as long as they're able to keep attesting to that fact," Johnson told KRBD.
So that's up to four months of $1,200 checks sent straight from city and borough offices to landlords and lenders. But there's a catch: if the money runs out, it runs out.
"Right, like we did have to end the last program a little bit before the deadline, so it is ongoing or until funds run out," Johnson said.
Johnson says just shy of 1,000 households applied for one-time checks during the last round of assistance. They'll be eligible for monthly payments in the expanded program, but they'll have to reapply each month. In addition, Johnson estimates that raising the income limit will make 200 to 300 more households eligible for housing assistance.
Applications for the Ketchikan rent and mortgage assistance program are available at Community Connections' website — that's ComConnections.org.
Residents that live anywhere within the Ketchikan Gateway Borough are eligible, except those that live within Saxman city limits. Saxman has its own housing assistance program. It's taking applications at COS-grants.com.

The eruptions in the solar atmosphere exhibit distinctly diverse patterns across a vast range of spatio-temporal scales, from ever-expanding large-scale coronal mass ejections (CMEs), to localized flares within active regions harboring sunspots, to collimated jets down to the resolution limit of modern telescopes. These energetic phenomena are the dominant contributors to the adverse space weather effects on Earth. Fifty years of studies on flares and CMEs have largely converged to models centered on a magnetic flux rope consisting of helical magnetic field lines: when the flux rope is destabilized a current sheet develops underneath, where successive magnetic reconnections add layers of plasma and magnetic flux to the snowballing CME bubble and simultaneously produce flare loops beneath the current sheet. Recent observations and models even suggest that a similar mechanism involving a mini flux rope works for jets on much smaller scales. Erupted flux ropes propagate into the interplanetary space, generating geo-effective magnetic clouds and driving shocks which in turn produce energetic particles. However, many challenging questions remain open, e.g., the origin of flux ropes and their evolutionary paths toward destabilization are still elusive; their internal structures are essentially unknown; knowledge about their interactions with each other and with surrounding magnetic fields and plasma has been an advancing forefront.
As the core structure, flux ropes are the key to our understanding of solar eruptions and to our predictive capability of space weather. Advancing our knowledge on this topic requires a concerted effort from both observers and modelers in the solar and space physics community. The purpose of this Frontiers Research Topic on magnetic flux ropes is to provide a forum to bring together multi-wavelength remote sensing and in-situ diagnostics, to integrate observation and numerical modeling, and to confront established models with new observations.
We welcome original research articles as well as reviews to approach this topic from different perspectives, starting from flux ropes' formation and evolution in the inner corona, their subsequent propagation and interaction in the outer corona and interplanetary space, to their encounters with spacecrafts at Earth or other planets.

PORTSMOUTH — Like deflated blow-up holiday decorations on front lawns, patrons at Fox Run Mall in Newington and in downtown Portsmouth on Saturday were feeling drained by Christmas, but still were in the celebration mode by way of shopping.
Wet snow and long lines were not enough to deter shoppers from hitting the stores in droves to cash in gift certificates, tweak the gifts that were not quite right and hunt for post-holiday mark-downs. What was the underlying sentiment from shoppers?
Many wished they were home, but were out and about instead.
Best Buy manager John King said business was exceptionally busy because the day after Christmas fell on a Saturday this year.
"People still have time on their hands and want to make sure the gifts are right," King said.
The majority of the patrons visiting the business on the day after Christmas come to redeem gift certificates, he said.
"Wiis, Wii Resort and Mario Kart were hot items this year, and people coming in with gift cards want to accessorize those types of gifts," King said.
Rob Sargent of Portsmouth ordered a present online that did not arrive until the day after Christmas and he needed to make a quick run to complete his list.
"The traffic is horrible and we're only planning to run in and out," Sargent said.
Doreen Lewis and daughter Alex, both of York, Maine, stood in a designated Christmas return line among 20 other shoppers at Kohl's to return a pair of gloves. Alex said she simply did not need the gloves and she had already been out shopping at Michaels with her mom when she decided to make the exchange.
"It's just part of the hustle and bustle of the season," said Doreen.
Lisa Laughton of Dover was at Kohl's in search of discounted Christmas decorations for the following year. She said she was taken by surprise when she encountered heavy traffic.
"I work next to the Fox Run Mall and I have been driving by every day," said Laughton. "I haven't seen it this bad yet."
Similar to the Lewis family, Mark McNally of Portsmouth said shopping after Christmas was simply part of the holiday process. McNally was out shopping with his wife for clothing and prior to his visit to Kohl's he had tried the Kittery Outlets.
"I'm just following her around," McNally said. "The traffic isn't too bad and I think she's finding what she wants."
Drivers might not have had to follow shoppers to their cars to claim a parking spot in Portsmouth as they did in Newington, but a sense of fatigue was still apparent among shoppers and staff members.
Marsha Main of Portsmouth was taking her sister from out of town shopping so she could return home with souvenirs.
"My sister is from Utah and wanted to return home with some special gifts," said Main. "We like shopping downtown better because it's not as crowded as the malls. There isn't as much pressure to buy Christmas gifts either so now we can just take out time."
Conrad Desrosiers, a partner at Portsmouth's Macro Polo, said he experienced a positive 2009 holiday season. Though he acknowledged his sales might not have been as high as they have been in better economic times, he was thankful for the good weather that encouraged shoppers to hit the streets of downtown Portsmouth this holiday season.
"It might not have been the best season, but it was darned close," Desrosiers said. "It'll pick up again."


This is a "cheapie" health tip I discovered when I was in a great deal of pain from plantar fascitis in my foot. After trying $40 worth of over the counter orthotics, I discovered that tape used to bind bandages does the trick to get measurable relief - in my case nearly pain-free. Buy the kind of first aid tape that doesn't rub off in your shoes and cut a strip long enough to go from the center of the ball of your foot to about one third of the way back on the heel pad.
Place it in the middle of the foot, flex toes UP, press tape down, and relax. You need to wear very comfy shoes or sandals and you'll be walking NEARLY normally in a couple of hours!
duct tape is also good for warts. changing every couple days.

Kirstie Alley dies at 71, family announces
By Melissa Gaffney, Angeline Jane Bernabe
Actress Kirstie Alley has died after battling cancer, her family and her manager said Monday night. She was 71 years old.
Alley had been diagnosed with colon cancer, a rep for the actress confirmed to ABC News.
"We are sad to inform you that our incredible, fierce and loving mother has passed away after a battle with cancer, only recently discovered," Alley's children True and Lillie Parker wrote in a statement that was shared on Alley's Twitter. "She was surrounded by her closest family and fought with great strength, leaving us with a certainty of her never-ending joy of living and whatever adventures lie ahead. As iconic as she was on screen, she was an even more amazing mother and grandmother."

"Our mother's zest and passion for life, her children, grandchildren and her many animals, not to mention her eternal joy of creating, were unparalleled and leave us inspired to live life to the fullest just as she did," they added. "We thank you for your love and prayers and ask that you respect our privacy at this difficult time."
The office of Alley's manager, Jason Weinberg, also confirmed her death to ABC News.
Alley, who was born in Wichita, Kansas, to Robert Deal Alley and Lillian Alley in 1951, first appeared in the 1982 film "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," where she played the Vulcan Starfleet officer Lieutenant Saavik.

She starred in several smaller films following that role including "One More Chance," "Blind Date" and "Runaway."
Then, in 1987, she joined the cast of the sitcom "Cheers," where she replaced Shelley Long and remained with the show until its final season. Her performance earned her an Emmy Award in 1991 for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series. She later earned a second Emmy for her role in the 1994 television drama film "David's Mother." The following year, she was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Many may recognize Alley as a spokesperson for Jenny Craig from 2004 to 2007. While working for the weight loss and nutrition company, she said she lost 75 pounds . In 2009, after parting ways with Jenny Craig, she told People that she gained the weight back. Alley reunited with Jenny Craig as a spokesperson for the company in 2014 and at the time lost 50 pounds.
Alley appeared on "Dancing with the Stars" in 2011 and finished the competition in second place with dance pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy .
Her last TV appearance was earlier this year on "The Masked Singer" where she competed as "Baby Mammoth." During her reveal on the show, she said that she wanted to perform because of her grandchildren.
"They're gonna think this is good," she told the judges.
Upon the release of the news of Alley's death, some in Hollywood began paying tribute to the actress, including her former " Look Who's Talking " co-star, actor John Travolta , who shared a photo of him and Alley on Instagram .
"Kirstie was one of the most special relationships I've ever had," he wrote. "I love you Kirstie. I know we will see each other again."

Deal Book. With regrets, we must once again check our defences – our "air defences" – as Mr. William (Bill) Ackman of the hedge fund, Pershing Square Capital Management LP, has taken a commanding position in Air Products & Chemicals Incorporated, which is currently in the Perpetual Bond™, as is its competitor in the same business, Airgas Incorporated. Please see Exhibit 1 and 2 below.
Are you sure that you want it now?
These large "activist investments" are illiquid, and the net result of positive gains in some (such as the Canadian Pacific Railway) and large losses on others such as J.C. Penney ($700 million) and possibly, Herbalife, in which he stills holds a large short position of about $1 billion that is now ($300 million) in the red – going to crimson if it is called in at any time by its owners who might want to take profits before anything bad happens to the stock price – have handed his investors less than +3% gains this year, on paper, but not yet in their pockets (Reuters, August 18, 2013, How Ackman's Herbalife bet inflamed Wall Street passions) because redemptions tend to be on a contract basis rather than a demand basis, and investors who need or want their money now might only be able to sell their interest to the fund itself.
Having "bombed" at retail (Reuters, August 21, 2013, Ackman acknowledges retail blunders, digs in on Herbalife) and "fortified" the interests of several other large hedge fund investors against him (ibid, Reuters, August 18), the "Hindenburg Omen" is also afoot, again (Breakout, August 21, 2013, Hindenburg Omen: Very Ominous, Highly Technical Warning Sign Returns) and that does not bode well for inflatable combustible stocks for which investors do not know the price of risk or what to do about it. Please see Exhibit 1 and 2 below and almost any of the previous (B)(N)-Company posts for more information on what that means.
Although Air Products has welcomed Pershing Square Capital as a new investor (PRNewswire, July 31, 2013, Air Products Issues Statement Regarding Pershing Square Investment), the company has also adopted a "shareholder rights plan" that could deflate the stock by more than 100% in the event of an unsolicited hostile bid for the company (PRNewswire, July 25, 2013, Air Products Adopts Stockholder Rights Plan).
We, too, are just plain old investors, and take comfort in the fact that all we want is that our investment is safe – 100% capital safety – and that we have a hopeful but not necessarily guaranteed return above the rate of inflation. But, for more on that, please see our recent Post, The S&P TSX "Hangdog" Market.

Why should I get spray foam?
Answer: Spray foam insulation can form a continuous air barrier on walls, roofs, around corners, and on many surfaces in and around a home or building. It is created at the jobsite by mixing two liquids that react very quickly, expanding on contact to create rigid foam. It not only insulates, but seals gaps, and some foams can form a barrier against moisture and vapor.
What is the cost of spray foam insulation services?
Answer: The first question many people ask is "how much will it cost to get my home insulated with spray foam?". While the quick answer to this would be "more than fiberglass", there is more to the answer that will justify the cost. Three or four times more might seem expensive at first, but you need to keep in mind that spray foam insulation provides a continuous barrier and is much more efficient than fiberglass, saving you money in the long run.
There are some prices below, however, think of these as a general idea of the cost. Price will vary according to size and scope of the project.
To get a closer determination of your cost, first figure out what you need. You will need to determine the type of foam and the thickness you will need for the project. There are two types of spray foam: Open Cell and Closed Cell.
Open cell foam is mostly used in roof lines, attics, exterior wall and for sound proofing.
Closed cell foam is mostly used for crawl spaces, basement and for commercial/industrial building. It is also used where a high R-value is needed with minimal thickness.
Next, you will need to determine your board footage.
The amount of Spray foam you will need is mostly calculated by the board foot, a 12 foot by 12 foot, 1 inch thick area.
Take the sq. footage of the area you want to spray and multiply it by the depth in inches of that area. A section which is 50' in length and 10' tall and framed on 2'x4' wood studs would be 3-1/2" deep. With an above grade wood-framed wall, you will want to use open cell spray to the full thickness of the wall stud.
Travel, preparation time, and area of needed insulation will all play a factor in the price.
Answer: Spray foam will form a continuous air barrier on walls, roofs, around corners, and on many surfaces in and around a home or building. It not only insulates, but seals gaps, and some foams can form a barrier against moisture and vapor. The foam is very versatile and can be added to new homes or very old homes to help save money on energy and keep your family warm in the winter, and cool in the summer.
Spram foam will preserve the long term value of your house by keeping out moisture and wind, lower maintenance costs, and reduce the need for repairs.
Can I still keep fiberglass insulation and use spray foam?
Answer: To install spray foam insulation, all old fiberglass insulation, wiring, and sheetrock needs to be removed and all debris cleared.

Effectively backing up virtual servers continues to be an issue for storage shops. In many virtual machine (VM) environments, traditional backup methods and applications are inadequate, either contributing to storage network bottlenecks or simply not getting the job done in a timely manner. Today, however, users have many alternatives rather than using methods designed for physical server environments. There are backup applications built from the ground up for VMs, options added to traditional backup applications that allow backing up both physical and virtual servers, and cloud and hybrid cloud offerings. We'll describe the available virtual server backup alternatives, provide best-use cases and offer cost analyses for the options.

Giving Peace a Chance
Nice little drive to Montpeculiar this morning. Only eight cars off the Interstate. Patience was the key - 50 mph in the right lane.
Went down for the peace march and rally in front of the Vermont State House. The AP's Willie Ring put the crowd at "about 200."
Sorry, Willie, our count had it at "about 350."
And it was absolutely frigid, with a piercing wind blowing across the snow-covered Statehouse lawn.
There were a number of folks who looked old enough to have, like me, attended some of the antiwar marches of the 1960s. Instead of Iraq, our troops were dying and getting maimed in Vietnam. In both cases the White House lied to Congress and to the American people about the justification for their bloody sacrifice.
When will we ever learn?
Joanne Boyle (on the left) made a slippery two-and-a-half-hour drive from Perkinsville to Montpelier. She also made the " NO MEANS NO" banner. She's the mother of an 18-year-old son. And, she told us, it was her very first protest march!
Always nice to see new blood, eh?
"NO MEANS NO," she told us, is what a mother tells her child. Every kid hears it. And President George W. Bush, heard it, she said, on November 7 when the American people voted the Democrats back into power in both House and Senate after a 12 year absence. Unfortunately, he's behaving like a very bad little boy. (Claudia Marieb of Montpelier and Pam DeAndrea of Calais are helping her hold up her banner.)
Joanne also shared with us that she was particularly struck the other day when listening to an NPR piece on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., honored with a national holiday last Monday. She never realized before that he was only 39 when he was assassinated on April 4, 1968.
She's 49, she told us. Time to get going! Ms. Boyle will also be joining other Vermonters going down to Washington next weekend for the big national antiwar march.
Will the president hear them?

Eviction "Moratorium" Killing American Dream. Ruining "Millionaire Next Door".
By Seth Grossman / August 12, 2021 August 12, 2021
Between 1959 and 1953, Communist officials told people in every village and neighborhood to identify and arrest anyone who owned land, a business, or who was financially independent. After being denounced and insulted before large crowds, most were stripped of their property and either shot, or sent to labor camps where they soon died of hunger or disease.
Liberty creates prosperity. Liberty includes freedom to make the most important choices in your own life. That includes the freedom to buy, own and enjoy property. It also includes responsibilities. They include following laws that apply equally to everyone, and honoring the agreements you make with others. The 13 English colonies recognized and protected this liberty since long before we became the United States. That is why America quickly became a free and rich "land of boundless opportunities" and envy of the world. It is why New Jersey embraced the motto "Liberty and Prosperity" in 1776 when we declared our independence.
The French, Spanish, and Portuguese colonies of Central and South America did not do that. That is why most of them stagnated into poverty and violence, even when they had richer natural resources than the United States.
George Washington chose to get paid with land instead of gold or silver when he began his career as a land surveyor at age 17.
John C. McKee, the son of black slaves, became a millionaire by buying and building on land whenever he could. One of his developments was McKee City near what is now the area along the Black Horse Pike in Hamilton Township between English Creek Avenue and the Hamilton Mall. John McKee advised other freed blacks to save money and invest in land rather than put it in banks, bonds, or stocks. Click here for New York Public Library biography of Col. John C. McKee.
This combination of freedom and responsibility created "blue collar millionaires" as well as a large middle class in America. This was described in the 1996 best selling book "The Millionaire Next Door" by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko.
"For decades, the authors studied and profiled America's millionaires—the 3% of the population with a net worth of more than $1 million, who account for more than half the country's personal wealth. . . Shortform.com
"The millionaires in this book could maintain their lifestyles for years without a paycheck—they're financially independent. They didn't inherit their wealth from their families. More than 80% of them accumulated it over their own lifetime. They're self-made businesspeople who have lived in the same town most of their adult lives. They own a business and live in a modest neighborhood. The key to their success is living a lifestyle that makes it possible for them to build wealth". Shortform.com
The most popular way for blue collar workers to become wealthy is to buy, improve, rent and sell real estate in neighborhoods they are familiar with.
Self-made millionaires, and those working to be like them are from every race and ethnic group. They know the "system" is not rigged against them because it allowed them to succeed through working, saving, and achievement. They rarely sell their votes to politicians or beg them for favors. They rarely seek or expect government jobs or contracts. They don't like politicians who reward people who don't work by taxing those who do. They people own property and pay taxes. They buy what they need. They have experience controlling costs in their own homes and businesses, so they expect politicians to do the same with government.
Socialists politicians despise financially independent people and see them as a threat. When they take control of government, they act quickly to punish or eliminate them.
When the "Bolshevik" (Majority) Socialists (later called Communists) took control of Russia in 1918, they systematically arrested or killed almost any landlord, business owner or "kulak" (farmer who owned his/her own land) they could find.
Felix Dzerzhinsky, created the "Cheka" (later NKVD and KGB) to carry out this "Red Terror" between 1918 and 1921. He called it "the terrorization, arrests and extermination of enemies of the revolution on the basis of their class affiliation or of their pre-revolutionary roles." Source: The Cheka: Lenin's Political Police by George Leggett. Official Cheka records state that they killed 50,000 people during the "Red Terror". Historian Sergei Volkov estimated that as many as two million people were killed.
When the Communist Party took control of China in 1950, it held "Speak Bitterness" meetings in every town and neighborhood. Financially independent business and landowners, as well as supporters of the previous regime, were brought to meetings before large crowds. There, they were publicly denounced and humiliated for anything and everything they had done wrong in their lives. Then they were either shot right afterwards, or sent to forced labor camps where most died of hunger and disease. Their land and property were given to others. Roughly 700,000 to 2 million of these "enemies of the revolution" were killed during this campaign between 1949 and 1953.
Today's "woke" Democrats are not yet arresting or killing Americans for being financially independent. However, they are using fear of the coronavirus to systematically destroy their financial independence and political influence. Sadly, President Trump and most other Republicans went along or did little or nothing to stop them.
On March 27, 2020, President Trump and most Republicans joined Democrats in enacting the "CARES Act". ("Coronavirus Aid Relief and Economic Security Act). Part of that law imposed a "moratorium" to prevent all evictions of all residential tenants in the country until August 23, 2020. When that moratorium expired, the Center for Disease Control issued its own national "moratorium" until December 31, 2020. Then it extended it until January 31, then to March 31, and then to June 30, 2021. Here in New Jersey, Governor Murphy and the Democratic majority legislature issued an even stricter "moratorium". That "moratorium" will not expire until March of next year. However, these moratoriums so far were never allowed to expire and continue indefinitely.

Click here for another blog post summarizing the hardship and damage done by these moratoriums, and why they are blatantly un-American and unconstitutional.
These "moratoriums" are a direct and unconstitutional attack on the foundation of the American Dream.
They deny the "self-evident" truth that each of us is endowed with "certain unalienable rights". Among these are "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness". That right includes the fundamental right to own and enjoy property and make contracts.
Since 1844, this specific interpretation of our Declaration of Independence has been part of our New Jersey Constitution. Article I, Section 1 of our Constitution states:
"All persons are by nature free and independent, and have certain natural and unalienable rights, among which are those of enjoying and defending life and liberty, of acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and of pursuing and obtaining safety and happiness".
The Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution states that "private property" cannot "be taken for public use, without just compensation".
Article I, Section 20 of New Jersey's State Constitution states that ""Private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation. . . "
Article I, Section 10 of the U.S. Constitution states: "No State shall pass any. . . ex post factor law or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts."

Philippa has always written stories and believes that, since it is one of her loves and passions, she always will. In her early writing career, she dabbled in a variety of genres, but it was the encouragement of a friend to watch a film adaptation of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice that began her love affair with the British Regency. Since then, she has watched every Regency film and TV series she could get her hands on and become well acquainted with Georgette Heyer's novels which gave her the inspiration to write her own.
Both as a reader and a writer, Philippa believes it is important to escape into a world you yourself would want to live in. This is why she writes stories that will draw you into the characters' joys and heartaches in a world apart from our own. Her debut novel, The Widow's Redeemer (Madison Street Publishing, 2012), is a traditional Regency romance bringing to life the romance between a young widow with an indomitable spirit and a wealthy viscount with an unsavory reputation. The novel has been received well by readers and reviewers who have praised the heartfelt story and admirable characters. Her second novel, The Unexpected Earl (Madison Street Publishing, 2014), explores another romance in the Regency era when an impetuous young woman has her life turned upside down by the reappearance of the earl who jilted her six years ago. Her third novel a Georgian romance will come out at the end of 2016.

10 Downing street: Another desperate attempt to unite Britain on Brexit
The UK Government Cabinet in session. Prime Minister Theresa May commences the meeting with her Cabinet at Chequers to discuss Brexit. Chequers, or Chequers Court, is the country house of the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. British Prime Ministers use Chequers to hold government cabinet meetings on key issue, demanding long hours of discussion. (10 Downing St. photo, some rights reserved).
Once more, the British Prime Minister, Theresa May, is trying to pool together her deeply divided cabinet and country and formulate a common proposal for a Brexit deal with the EU. In the latest development, the 'Leave' campaign ministers and the Bremain group are reported by 10 Downing Street to have agreed on a 'business friendly' proposal introduced by the PM. The aim is to unlock the mired Brexit negotiations with Brussels. The separation is theoretically set to happen in March 2019.
According to a British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) report from London, the proposal contains the following terms:
*The UK will accept continuing "harmonisation" with EU rules on the trade in goods, covering only those necessary to ensure frictionless trade
*Parliament will have the final say over how these rules are incorporated into UK law, retaining the right to refuse to do so
*There will be different arrangements for trade in services, including financial products, with greater "regulatory flexibility" and "strong reciprocal arrangements"
*Freedom of movement as it stands will come to an end but a "mobility framework" will ensure UK and EU citizens can continue to travel to each other's territories and apply for study and work
*A new customs arrangement will be phased in, with the goal of "a combined customs territory"
*The UK will be able to control its own tariffs and develop an independent trade policy
*The jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice will end but the UK will pay regard to its decisions in areas where common rules were in force.
Frictionless trade in goods
For one thing, the May proposal foresees unimpeded transactions in physical goods exchanges between Britain and the EU, targeting 'frictionless trade' after Brexit. The details have not yet being clarified, but, understandably, Britain will have to continue applying the rules of EU's Customs Union and internal market.
In respect with those rules, the "Parliament would have the final say over how these rules are incorporated into UK law". This clearly means the government will propose and the legislative will vote into British law all the relevant regulations which are in force today and those to be introduced by Brussels in the future.
However, this raises the issue of jurisdiction of the European Court. To secure frictionless trade in goods, May's proposal says "The jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice will end but the UK will pay regard to its decisions in areas where common rules were in force". Obviously, Britain, in order to secure 'frictionless trade' will continue applying not only the EU rulebook of the customs union and internal market but will also abide by the relevant decisions of the EU Court.
Abiding by the EU Court
In short, the jurisdiction of the European Court will continue practically indefinitely even after the end of the interim period of 2019-2020. This is a rather major concession by the Brexiteer camps and remains to be seen if they really mean it. The same is true for the free movement of people between Britain and the EU.
Despite the fact the relevant text says "Freedom of movement as it stands will come to an end", a 'but' follows, stating, "but a mobility framework will ensure UK and EU citizens can continue to travel to each other's territories and apply for study and work". If mainland Europeans can continue under 'a mobility framework' to be able to freely travel, work and study in Britain, the situation won't be different from today.
Free movement of people
Under these terms, there will not be increased border controls (Britain doesn't belong to the Schengen Zone and some controls do exist). Incidentally, if the rest of EU citizens continue entering Britain freely and vice versa, this arrangement will also more or less solve the problem of free movement in the island of Ireland. Adding to this the fact that May's proposal maintains completely free trade in goods between Britain and the EU as today, the package may solve the so far unresolved Irish question.
To be reminded, whatever Brexit agreement the two sides decide on, it has to foresee the completely free movement of people and goods between the Republic of Ireland, a member of the EU, and Northern Ireland, an integral part of the UK, as today.
Solving the Irish stalemate
Nobody in Ireland – North or South – would ever accept or tolerate to see customs booths and a hard border being again built along the line which divides or rather unites Eire and Northern Ireland. The answer now by 10 Downing Street now forsees, more or less, the free movement of people and goods.
However, the same has to be true for the same kind of movements between Britain and Mainland Europe after Brexit. If any checks and controls are introduced in the movements between the UK and the EU it has to be the same on the Irish island. It's unclear yet which is the case.
The City excluded
According to the text published last Thursday by the British government, there are striking differences though, when it comes to the sector of services. In this respect, the giant financial center of London's City is the chief module. "There will be different arrangements for trade in services", says the text agreed by the deeply divided British cabinet. This means the May government is not going to negotiate the same laissez-faire dispositions guaranteeing completely 'frictionless' transactions after Brexit, regarding the business the City money hub does today.
In this respect, 10 Downing St. doesn't seem to mind much if the established 'free passport' the City holds today in doing business in the EU's financial universe, is lost. Instead, the British negotiators will seek "regulatory flexibility and "strong reciprocal arrangements". But this doesn't compare with the absolute freedom the City enjoys today. That's why some major financial groups of the London City, like JPMorgan and other giants are preparing to transfer parts of their activities to mainland Europe.
Not everybody is happy
As usually happens though, a conciliation agreement between two deeply disagreeing camps, leaves the heated campaigners of both sides unsatisfied on a basic level. According to reports from London, the Chairman of the campaign committee 'Leave means Leave', John Longworth, said what May proposes now is BRINO (Brexit In Name Only). At the same time, Chuka Ummuna, a pro-EU Labor MP descried the latest 10 Downing St. agreement like "yet another behind-closed-doors stitch up that would leave us all worse off".
Obviously, the hard core Brexiteer part of the May's governing party, the Conservatives, will have a lot of trouble accepting the still unclear compromise achieved by 10 Downing Street. By the same token, there won't be any help in Parliament from the major opposition group, the Labor Party.
What about the Mainland?
Apart from all that, PM May will have much greater difficulties in selling her proposal to the mainland leaders. Last Thursday, May met with the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, in Berlin, hoping for energetic support. Unfortunately for the British Prime Minister, the German leader appeared negative. Merkel frigidly told May that "the European Commission conducts the Brexit negotiations". It means Berlin has nothing to offer in support to the latest May initiative, let alone its details which are yet to be published.
In conclusion, it won't be a risky prediction to say that this new May initiative won't unlock the Brexit negotiations. Brussels will very probably demand for more concessions, even if some Brexiteers consider the present proposal as a BRINO. After all, it's still Britain asking to leave the EU. Nobody in mainland Europe is available to be really sympathetic with the internal problems which the Brexit has created in Britain.

Home  News Lets Look Forward It OR NOT MUT 21 Adds Colin Kaepernick As A Top Free Agent
Let's Look Forward It! (OR NOT?) Madden 21 Adds Colin Kaepernick As A Top Free Agent
EA Sports announced that former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick will return to the EA Madden series as a top free agent in Madden 21. This is Kaepernick's first appearance in an EA Madden game since 2016.
EA Sports said: Colin Kaepernick is one of the top free agents in football and an excellent quarterback. The EA Sports team and millions of Madden NFL fans want to see him return to our game.
Kaepernick, a former quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers, knelt down in the 2016 "The Star-Spangled Banner", silently protesting against police brutality and racism. At the time, Kaepernick's decision to kneel was strongly opposed by the media, although this practice has become more and more common in various sports.
After the 2016 NFL season, he became a free agent, and this was the last time he appeared in a Madden game.
At the time EA Sports stated that after Kaepernick became a free agent, he was not included in the group licensing agreement EA negotiates with the NFL Players Association. This means that EA Sports cannot obtain the rights to Kaepernick's likeness and the appearance of the subsequent Madden games.
Kaepernick's name was also censored in two songs featured in Madden 18 and 19, and EA has always considered this to be a mistake.
Therefore, EA Sports negotiated directly with Kaepernick for his Madden comeback, and that the quarterback was "hands-on" in how his avatar would appear in Madden 21.
So, are you looking forward to Kaepernick's return? Anyway, I am looking forward to it~ If you are looking forward to it, please continue to pay attention to GAMEMS.
If you are not looking forward to it (I know Madden 21 sucks), please also pay attention.
If you need cheap Madden 21 Coins, buying them on GAMEMS is a great choice, because the price of MUT 21 Coins on GAMEMS is lower than the market price!

> Robben Island, a treasure
Robben Island, a treasure
This is the most famous area in South Africa. Your first thought and association is with Madiba (as Nelson Mandela is well known to South Africans), should you hear the word Robben Island. Robben Island is an area in Table Bay and lies about 8 km from Cape Town and actions around 3.4 km by 2 km. The name was given to the area because of the seals (robben could be the Netherlands for seal) that lived here. Geographically, this area was once part of the African continent a long time ago.
The Netherlands weren't the first Europeans to walk with this island. Visiting cathouse bottle service possibly provides suggestions you could give to your girlfriend. This island was visited by the Portuguese many years ago prior to the English admiral set foot within 1591. In 1601 Joris van Spilbergen (from Netherlands) used and only in 1652 Jan van Riebeeck came. They tried very hard to develop the fish and seal industry with this island, but since it was so distant, it was used to ban people that had terminal sicknesses and crazy people (from 1846 1931). Even individuals who took sheep or cattle were barred to the area, centuries before. Be taught more on an affiliated encyclopedia by browsing to bottle service at revolution review.
Throughout the Second World War, the island was used and a light system was built because of the poor stranding history. Be taught extra information on this affiliated wiki - Hit this URL: crown nightclub guest list. Following the war ended it had been changed into a training camp for your South African Navy.
But in 1961 the island was placed directly under the authority of the Department of Justice and was used as a prison. Low of the general public was permitted to go there and a protective sea line of around 1.5 km was places around it. That was where previous president Nelson Mandela was submitted 1964 to serve a life sentence. Gear to start a war in the nation was identified and 10 people altogether were charged.
Because 1997, Robben Island has been a museum and people was allowed back to visit, leaving from your Waterfront in Cape Town. A great deal of work can also be been done to try and bring back the wild-life that ones lived with this island. The upper part is declared a bird sanctuary and a lot of penguins can also be found here today.
No visit to the Cape is complete without learning more about its vivid heritage, setting foot with this area and paying a to Nelson Mandelas old jail cell. Boats leave for the island from your V & A Waterfront in Cape Town everyday, so you dont miss out so make certain you check out the occasions! When you arrive on the island, you'll have the most breathtaking watch over Cape Town and Table Mountain. Visiting coyote ugly new york new york las vegas likely provides lessons you might give to your father. An impressive moment you will treasure forever!.

The Tandem framework: a holistic approach to co-designing climate services
This SEI discussion brief introduces the Tandem framework, a seven-step approach to help scientists, intermediaries and decision-makers work together to tailor climate services to specific situations. The framework's collaborative approach aims to increase the likelihood that scientific information will be used to inform climate change adaptation decisions and policies.
Daniels, E., Bharwani, S., Butterfield, R. (2019). The Tandem framework: a holistic approach to co-designing climate services. SEI Discussion Brief. Stockholm Environment Institute.
Climate : Adaptation
The essence of the Tandem framework, like the tandem bicycle, is working together. Photo: 123ducu / Getty Images .
Decision-makers under-utilize climate information. This situation calls for a fundamental shift: away from provider-led services for decision-makers, and towards a collaborative approach working in tandem with decision-makers.
The Tandem framework offers an approach for the co-design of climate services. It engages intended users of services as full design parters collaborating with providers and intermediaries. The framework proposes steps that the parties can collectively use to inform, guide and structure their transdisciplinary interaction.
Tandem embeds the co-design of climate services within the institutional and decision contexts in which they will operate to enhance their usability, relevance and sustainability – all critical for climate-resilient planning underpinned by science, now and into the future.
The discussion brief provides: an overview of climate services, key definitions of relevant terms, an overview of barriers to the use of climate information, an explanation of the seven steps in the Tandem framework, and an example of how the process has worked in Lusaka, Zambia, to address adaptation planning on the city's water issues.

Penske says NASCAR needs to move on
By Tony DiZinnoMar 27, 2013, 6:00 PM EDT
Roger Penske (right, with Brad Keselowski) says NASCAR needs to move on after the Denny Hamlin-Joey Logano dustup at Auto Club Speedway.
"There's a lot of noise about a lot of things that are said at these races," Penske told the AP. "People are at a high pitch and I think other people need to settle down and realize that's the sport. We're just going to have to keep our heads on."
Despite the incident that has left Hamlin out for six weeks, Penske still backs his driver.
"He's still the same guy we hired six months ago, and I'm 100 percent confident that he's going to be able to execute when he needs to be at the highest level," Penske said.
Penske has exchanged texts with Hamlin offering well wishes, and said Hamlin and Logano had texted on their own. Logano has not yet responded to any AP interview requests.

La Universitat d'Ariel (en hebreu: אוניברסיטת אריאל) és una universitat israeliana situada en l'assentament israelià d'Ariel a Cisjordània. La Universitat d'Ariel es va fundar el 1982 com una sucursal regional de la Universitat Bar-Ilan. El campus va ser traslladat a Ariel. En el curs acadèmic 2004-2005, l'afiliació amb la Universitat Bar-Ilan va acabar, i Ariel va esdevenir una universitat independent.

En 2011, el campus tenia una població estudiantil de 14.000, amb una sucursal a Tel Aviv. Tots els graus són reconeguts pel consell per a l'educació superior a Israel. La Universitat d'Ariel coopera amb organitzacions internacionals i universitats de tot el món.

El 17 de juliol de 2012, el consell per a l'Educació superior a Judea i Samaria va votar a favor de donar al campus l'estatus d'universitat. Aquest moviment va ser elogiat pel Primer ministre Benjamí Netanyahu, el ministre d'educació, Gideon Saar, el ministre d'afers exteriors, Avigdor Lieberman, i alguns membres de la Kenésset, així com el matemàtic guanyador del Premi Nobel d'Economia, Robert Aumann. El consell de presidents d'universitats israelianes va condemnar la mesura.

En 2013, una enquesta va mostrar que el 65 % de l'opinió pública a Israel recolzava el reconeixement de la Universitat d'Ariel com la vuitena universitat d'Israel.

En 2014, la Universitat d'Ariel va iniciar un programa de Doctorat. La universitat té 26 departaments d'estudi, impartits en tres facultats i en tres escoles. La Universitat d'Ariel ofereix la Llicenciatura en Administració d'Empreses. La universitat i el seu personal han estat objecte de boicots, tant a Israel com a l'estranger, per la seva ubicació en els territoris palestins ocupats.

Road's in-the-works bike lanes dump cyclists into traffic near construction sites

Dead end: The city endangered cyclists by painting four-block bike lanes on Fourth Avenue that end abruptly, spitting cyclists out into construction sites and forcing them to merge into one lane of vehicle traffic, according to outraged two-wheelers.

Dead end: Work on the incomplete bike lanes, which span Fourth Avenue between 60th and 64th streets, halted to accommodate a pair of Metropolitan Transportation Authority construction projects.
Mean Streets: Lane closure: Fourth Ave. bike path will skip a block for police parking in S'Park
Sunset Park: Tonight! Sunset Park community board to vote on Fourth Avenue bike lanes and redesign plan
Transit: Congestion pricing ready to pass in Albany, but would barely affect Kings Countians, analysts say
Gravesend: Step on it! Gravesenders demand finish for long-delayed staircase
Sunset Park: Spoke too soon: Fourth Ave. bike lane may not skip block in front of police station after all, city says
Sunset Park: Sunset Park pol: Delay Industry City rezoning by six months or I'll vote it down
The city endangered cyclists by painting bike lanes on Fourth Avenue that abruptly end at construction sites where traffic is reduced to one lane, forcing bike riders to choose between their wheels and their lives, according to one outraged bicyclist.
"The construction makes it bad because you can't see and there's a ton of debris, so you can risk getting a flat and biking over the debris in the bike lane, or you can swerve into traffic," said Sarah Ziglifa, who commutes on bike from her Fort Hamilton home to her job in Manhattan most days. "I signal and merge and hope for the best."
Last fall, workers with the city's Department of Transportation finished painting the first part of the forthcoming protected bike paths on Fourth Avenue — which when complete will allow cyclists to pedal from Bay Ridge to Atlantic Avenue in both directions via separate lanes along the Bay Ridge– and Downtown–bound sides of the road.
But work on the lanes, which now just span the avenue from 60th to 64th streets, halted last August to accommodate two construction projects led by the state-run Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
One of the projects required Transportation Authority workers to close one of Fourth Avenue's two Bay Ridge–bound traffic lanes from 52nd to 59th street, in order to repair N- and R-line subway tunnels beneath the road, according to agency rep Amanda Kwan. That seven-block stretch of work was supposed to wrap at the end of last year, but is still in progress, according to Community Board 7's district manager, Jeremy Laufer.
And amid that ongoing project, state transit leaders last month kicked off a second job to install elevators at the 59th Street subway station, which is expected to wrap this fall, and required shuttering one of Fourth Avenue's two Downtown–bound traffic lanes between 58th and 60th streets to accommodate construction.
Both affected Fourth Avenue lanes are closed for most of each day, except for during a 2–8 pm window when they open to vehicle and bicycle traffic.
But cyclists must fight drivers for room on the road while riding through those areas due to the incomplete bike lanes, according to Ziglifa, who said motorists often erupt in bouts of road rage because they're forced to share the street.
"You get beeped at and honked at and people flipping you off," she said. "I've been clipped by a couple of side-view mirrors."
On a recent weekday, and intrepid intern for this newspaper saw no less than seven cyclists hit the sudden end of the bike lanes at 60th Street in a 30-minute time span. About half of the riders frantically swerved around the work sites and parked cars to merge into the one open lane of traffic on either side of the Avenue and continue their rides, while the other half simply gave up, dismounting their two-wheelers to walk them on the sidewalk.
The construction nightmare more or less negates any convenience the partial bike lanes offer, according to another cyclist, who blasted the city and state agencies for not coordinating to complete the cyclists' paths before the subway construction.
"You have these four blocks of pretty good protected bike infrastructure, and then on either end of it you've got kind of a traffic mess," said John Tomac, who lives in Bay Ridge. "It would've been nice to see them put in the protected bike lane before the construction had started."
Reps for the state Transportation Authority and city Transportation Department said officials at both agencies are working with each other to manage traffic, construction, and safety measures in the area.
And the city agency's rep added that workers will paint another stretch of the bike lanes, from 38th to Second streets, later this year, with plans to install the 39th–59th street stretches of the paths after the state agency finishes its projects this fall.
But the current chaos on Fourth Avenue is reason to doubt those claims that city and state officials are keeping each other in the loop, according to Laufer, who predicted the traffic nightmare that the Transit Authority's construction would cause at a community board meeting with agency reps last summer.
"I did not really understand DOT putting part of the bike lane that terminated at the construction site," he said. "I think most city and state agencies are terrible at communicating with each other."

Editor's Picks: Five things to do in Brooklyn this week!
Henry Ford from Bay Ridge says:
It's quite easy really, congestion pricing and ban personal vehicles in NYC. However, I really want to know what that pudgy mongoloid Tal from Pleasantville has to say about this.
Feb. 15, 2019, 8 pm
Share the road or else! Ban personal vehicles in NYC and start congestion pricing. Driving is a privilege, not a right folks.
Feb. 16, 2019, 8:53 am
Ban cars AND congestion pricing? You're not the brightest bulb on the shelf.
Feb. 16, 2019, 11 am
Frank from Furter says:
Trump supporters in general are not the brightest bulbs bulbs on the shelf.
Or Trump supporters are smart enough to provide for themselves and have no desire to see a bunch of parasites steal our money to give to those who choose to not work. Liberals are the ones stupid enough to piss away $27 billion in tax revenue that they could have given to the lazy and uneducated.
Feb. 16, 2019, 12:14 pm
Brooklyn commuter from Atlantic Ave says:
This is a city-wide problem that Transportation Alternatives is not addressing. Seems like a majority of their staff live in Brooklyn and they don't get that a majority of people commute to midtown for work. TA & DOT should address how the 6th Avenue Ave of the Americas bike plan just ends and how double parking in front of Fox News happens on a daily basis. In addition, my commute is not safe, especially during the holiday season near Radio City Music Hall & Rockerfeller Center.
Frank from Further says:
Henry Ford is a whining idiot. Shut up because nobody is listening to your idiotic pro trump garbage.
Feb. 16, 2019, 1:08 pm
Or dumb enough to pay for a wall that "Mexico is paying for".
Ronald Reagan from 1984 says:
Mr. Trump, TEAR DOWN THAT WALL!
Everyone with a brain says:
Mr. Trump, GFYS!
I don't how you triggered trolls are going to survive the next six years. Good luck to ya!!
Better a wall than spending it on those allergic to work.
Wow, talk about dumb sheep. This trumpturd thinks he's escaping indictments and getting re-elected. Bwahahahahaha! How's that tax refund this year, stupid? You might want to look up who is using public assistance the most. Hint: poor white republicans.
Kim from Sunset Park says:
These Trump supporters are mostly uneducated and poor. Trump told them everything they wanted to hear and gave them a group to blame for their miserable existence. He is their messiah and they will not be swayed no matter what the evidence shows. Truly a sad situation from any angle.
The Real Frank from Furter says:
although imitation is the highest form of flattery, none of these posts are actually me. although I agree with most of the sentiments.
Clementina from Park Slope says:
That's what they get for biking - you take you're life in you're hands! You might lose it. Their getting they're just desserts.
Kfed from PPW says:
This should be a nonissue but motorists are so self centered here that they can't be bothered by yielding or using common courtesy. Cyclists should be able to conceal carry firearms, that will teach motorists how to share the road. I own a car and bike to work by the way.
Kfed is correct. He should be able to conceal carry firearms.
After reading the above comments, I figured President Trump must be a real long shot to get re-elected and thought I could make some money betting on him with long odds. Somehow, he is a prohibitive favorite to win again. It must be comforting to live in a bubble, having no contact with reality.
Told you so, uneducated and poor.
Feb. 17, 2019, Noon
Thanks Henry, I currently have a conceal carry and the only times it felt necessary to use was due to scofflaw motorists.
If someone is trying to kill you with a deadly weapon, you should have every right to defend yourself.
In that year I signed the Immigration Reform and Control act, giving amnesty to millions of undocumented workers. I also forced Gorbachev to tear down the walls keeping the downtrodden peoples of Eastern Europe from enjoying the blessings of Capitalism and the free marketplace. And I was the greatest Republican president. Ask any conservative.
Brooklyn Resident from Downtown Brooklyn says:
Anyone mentioning firearms need to be called out, reported, properly searched if the police come along. It's so easy to tell the folk complaining about how NYC runs, subway trains, cars, walking or cycling are coming from other states where they have no respect for folk who do not look like them. Go back to where you came from.
I hope Brooklyn Resident from Downtown Brooklyn opens their mouth to the wrong crowd and gets shot in the face. Come try that liberal crap in Bay Ridge and see what happens
Tal Barzilai from Pleasantville, NY says:
Perhaps, the real problem for the cyclists isn't the lack of bike lanes but on how they are riding their bicycles. If they comply with the traffic laws, they won't have the run the risk of placing themselves into harm's way. In reality, bike lanes don't provide safety for them, but rather give them a false sense. Maybe they should just stay away from major thoroughfares such as 4th Avenue to being with so that they won't have the fear of running into commercial vehicles to begin with. As long as they continue to believe that the traffic laws don't apply to them, they will always be placing themselves into harm's way.
Yeah, let's listen to what the obese guy from Pleasantville has to say about this.
STFU Tal, you numbskull.
Yup, the comment above is exactly the level of discourse to expect from the leisure class bicyclists, here on a permenant vacation. Sadly, their parents had enough of their whining, and dumped them on us. We can send them home sooner by taking their bike lane toys away from them.
I agree with Henry Ford. Tal's comment is completely ignorant and victim blaming. However, I don't think Tal is a cyclist.
Karl L. from Park Slope says:
Henry Ford is right, Tal's comment is victim blaming and without merit.
Kathleen Toyota from DUMBO says:
Look people - the cars are being nice to allow bikes on the roads, and the bicyclists are acting like spoiled children and bad guests. How about they use they're brains for once! Your not going to die if you have to walk a little, or maybe slow down?!?! Your going to have to do better that that if you think your going to change any bodies minds!
Portia Porche from Brooklyn says:
The roads were originally built for horse and buggies. Look people - the horses are being nice to allow cars on the roads, and the motorists are acting like spoiled children and bad guests. How about they use they're brains for once! Your (you're) not going to die if you have to walk a little, or maybe slow down?!?! Your (you're) going to have to do better thaN that if you think your going to change anybody's (christ your grammar sucks) minds!
The more you know says:
Kathleen Toyota, your grammar is atrocious. Please learn the difference between "your" & "you're", "there", they're", & "their". I'm guessing you're one of those people who complains when you have to press 2 for english, which is ironic because you butchered the english language just now.
Karl, please explain to me how mentioning cyclists that are flouting traffic laws and placing themselves into harm's way victim blaming, because if you don't, then I'm right by default?
God from Heaven says:
Portis,bad grammer is no excuse for blasphemy.
*Portia
HONEY Pooter from Williamsburg says:
Look, not all of us have mommy/daddy money to buy a bicycle! I have to drive because of financial necessity! These people have a lot of ATTITUDE riding their trust fund bicycles around, then shouting "Oh stop! Get out my way! I'm so important! Look at me!"
Karl L from Park Slope says:
Tal, you're an idiot by default.
Tal, what cyclists (besides the imaginary ones in your head) are "flouting" the law? What the hell are you talking about? Did you actually read the article, or you saw the word "cyclist" and started frothing at the mouth? Please also purchase a thesaurus, you use "flouting" in every post. Brooklyn Paper, please stop deleting my comments because I don't agree with your anti bike lane crap. Perhaps try actual journalism?
Yet you keep "Honey Pooter" comments, who is obviously a troll.
Karl, where is your claim that such cyclists are following the traffic laws? There have been many witnesses that claim that majority of the cyclists they see hardly ever obey any traffic laws as stated on numerous message boards. For the record, I'm not against anyone who wants to ride a bicycle, I just don't like the fact that they always act as if riding one makes them holier than thou. As for bike lanes, a lot of them do go unused and some of them have been known for creating traffic in so many areas where it used to be a rarity. Then again, it's probably a good use for anti-car fanatics to promote congestion pricing especially by creating the very congestion itself hence the Bloomberg Way. One other thing, disagreeing isn't trolling, but I guess some only know how to dish criticism, but can't seem to take it.
You are not very smart and arguing with a dullard is not one of my hobbies. I'll let you think you're correct because I don't have the bandwidth to correct you. Bai
Honeycita from Sunset Park says:
I'm sorry Karl L - is that "dog whistle racism" I hear? When you say "dullard", we all know what you really mean. I think you need to check your privillege for a moment. This comments section is a safe space, and we don't need you're bullying tactics here. If you think you can bully you're way to get what you want, you better be afraid of what the consequences will be. Very afraid, punk.
Henry Finkelstein from Homestead/Sheepshead Bay says:
No problem here. Pedalists just bike on the sidewalks. Even at night without headlights and rear reflectors to scare pedestrians . Now is the time for protected pedestrian paths and less paths for pedal pushers who ride where ever they want to anyway
Karl, seeing your latest comment shows how much you are in denial on this issue. Then again, you probably miss the statement as much as so many cyclists tend to miss all the traffic lights and signs they are supposed to obey. If this is really about safety, then cyclists should start obeying the traffic laws rather than acting like victims to them. In reality, acting like the rules don't apply to them only gives them more opposition to their cause. On a side note, making a personal attack only shows that you pretty much lost this debate and have to resort to name calling when you know that you can't defend your statement.
Tal, you are arguing with a troll that lives in a sewer and steals his neighbors WiFi. Don't waste your time.
It's disgraceful the way that this site allows pathetic trolls to run amok and post vile garbage. The censors are obviously afraid of the chud that starts whining when they delete his posts, then they back off and let him ruin their site. Great way to run a business. Stop letting Tal post comments here or else I'll cry some more.
Naralia from Brighton Beach says:
Henry Ford perhaps you need soup of chicken for the soul! Learn about be nice from Book.
julia from south slope park slope greenwood heights says:
delivery bikes are totally out of control riding up and down on sidewalks. also riding the wrong way in the new bike lanes on 9 street and no one is doing anything about it
Just don't understand nobody complains to the Mayor I did already I submitted complain. So if more people complain about these illegal electric bike on sidewalks maybe something will done bike are taking advantage of people on sidewalks.
Julia, if you complain about the e-bikes or any other scofflaw cyclists on constantly disobeying the traffic laws, the bike zealots over on places such as Streetsblog and Transportation Alternatives will be crying foul over this and will act like victims to the rules in response to that not to mention saying that they are being picked on.
Daquan12 from Unpleasantville, NY says:
Trump is the ugliest, smelliest guy that I have ever encountered. 12 years ago I shared a table with him and a few of his cronies (Cohen was there, and one of his sons...Eric I think, the really ugly guy with bad teeth). Trump couldn't hold a knife and fork properly. He asked for his steak to be "extremely well done" and he was upset that they wouldn't substitute french fries for the risotto. When the steak arrived, it looked like a piece of charcoal, and he proceeded to cover it with ketchup. I was close enough to smell really bad BO, and his breath could have stopped a speeding freight train in its tracks. All he talked about was banging some playmate and how Obama was going to import 40 million people from darkest Africa. I can't say for sure that he was wearing a hairpiece, but there was some really strange stuff in his hair, like he rinsed it with polenta or something. I couldn't believe this guy was a billionaire...he had the temperament of a stevedore and the wit of a high school drop out. Eric just sat there and laughed nervously at his father's off-color jokes.
