Listen to the money talk
George Will allows me to punctuate the discussion I sparked about campaign finance reform with a little history about the late Eugene McCarthy's 1968 bid to unseat Lyndon Johnson:
McCarthy's insurgency, the most luminous memory of many aging liberals, would today be impossible -- criminal, actually -- thanks to the recent "reform" most cherished by liberals, the McCain-Feingold campaign regulations. McCarthy's audacious challenge to an incumbent president was utterly dependent on large early contributions from five rich liberals. Stewart Mott's $210,000 would be more than $1.2 million in today's dollars.
McCain-Feingold codifies two absurdities: large contributions are inherently evil, and political money can be limited without limiting political speech. McCain-Feingold criminalizes the sort of seed money that enabled McCarthy to be heard. Under McCain-Feingold's current limit of $2,100 per contributor, McCarthy's top five contributors combined could have given just $10,500, which in 1968 dollars would have been just $1,834.30. But, then, McCain-Feingold was written by incumbents to protect what they cherish: themselves.

I don't have a problem with large contributions. I think any individual person should be allowed to commit whatever funds he has to any candidate that directly represents him. McCarthy was running for president, so any U.S. citizen could contribute under my proposal. However, let's say he's running for a congressional seat. Anyone within that congressional district should be allowed to contribute, but not persons from outside the boundries of that district.
Jonathan Potts said...
Even though I've disagreed previously with your idea to limit contributions in congressional races to residents of the district, what you propose represents a good compromise. If only we were in charge...

My disdain for David Brooks can only be overshadowed by my contempt for history lessons from George Will.
Regarding campaign reform and the 1968 campaign, I would have to point out that Will fails to mention that he is also comparing a primary campaign process for President before the major reforms from the McGovern-Fraser Commission.
The money amounts are interesting, but ultimately irrelevant at the time. It is very important to keep in mind that the primary process was mostly show because of the power and control the state party organizations held over the delegate selection process. Reform came after the 1968 DNC convention.
How much you spent in the primaries really meant squat because you could win a majority of primaries and still not garner the nomination.
Just ask Teddy Roosevelt. He won nine primaries compared to President Taft's one in 1912 yet still lost the nomination to Taft.
Nonetheless, it was Humphrey's showing in New Hampshire that proved the vulnerability of Johnson and prompted RFK to enter the race, and Johnson to withdrawal. I suspect that did require McCarthy to spend some of that money.
The fact that the primaries do play a major role in the nominating process now means that even establishment candidates must raise huge sums of money. Our confusing and byzantine fundraising system ensures, Howard Dean notwithstanding, that only incumbents and the already well-connected will have enough to make a serious run.

Mr. Sanjaya suddenly remembered a scripture: Every living person will surely die.
And perhaps because looking at death is so important, in ancient times the kings left a testament before dying to his heirs. The contents of the testament is essentially a funeral order in a place that has been prepared.
In the history of the world, the tomb is very important. All kings and people who have had great power and wealth, both religious and nonreligious, are fond of preparing the tomb for themselves and their relatives with their luxurious things.
In fact, before or after death, everyone does not know how his fate in the afterlife. Nor will it ever return to the mortal world, after death. While fate in the afterlife, will not be determined by the circumstances of his grave. And no science or religion ensures that a beautiful tomb will determine the beauty of the afterlife or as a reflection of heaven.
But why does everyone think tombs are so important and after death want to have beautiful and even sacred tombs? This question is increasingly worrying Mr. Sanjaya. As a successful entrepreneur, death is considered very important and therefore he does not want to be buried in a public cemetery complex.
"I must immediately buy a piece of land that is safest and beautiful for my funeral complex." Mr. Sanjaya murmured as he sat in a rocking chair in front of his wide-open bedroom window. He was getting older and his health was getting more and more disturbed. Every moment, death is getting closer.
Mr. Sanjaya then pictured a small hill near the forest, away from the crowds of the city. It feels like a hill fit for a funeral complex. The hill is still green and cool. When he was a teenager he often shot a bird on that small hill.
"Yes, I must prepare the burial complex at the little hill. I'll buy that little hill, whatever it costs and how ever. "Mr. Sanjaya mumbled again. Then he ordered his wife and children to buy that little hill. And because the hill is state-owned, the easiest way he chooses is to bribe a number of state officials. Then with a rent system, the little hill can already be officially owned.
"Find the best architect to design a beautiful cemetery complex. I and all my relatives must be buried in a beautiful cemetery complex, so that in the future many pilgrims will be visited. "Mr. Sanjaya spoke in front of his wife and children; all his relatives deliberately gathered to discuss the construction of the funeral complex he had coveted. All agreed and supported the construction of the funeral complex.
A United States graduate architect is entrusted with designing and realizing a beautiful cemetery complex on a small hill. And after the miniature of the burial complex was completed, it was immediately shown to Mr. Sanjaya.
Mr. Sanjaya's eyes widened at the miniature of a beautiful cemetery complex on a small hill. Mr. Sanjaya agrees that although the cost required for the construction of the funeral complex reaches dozens of billions of rupiah. Mr. Sanjaya drained his deposit at several banks. He hopes the construction of the funeral complex will be completed before death picks him up.
How happy it would be if before he died he could see the beautiful cemetery complex that would be the residence of his corpse forever. Mr. Sanjaya is now relieved, because the process of building the funeral complex has already started. Every day he is watching over the workmen who work. They seem very skilled.
After six months, the construction of a beautiful cemetery complex on a small hill was completed and ready to be unveiled. But what is the most appropriate way to inaugurate a funeral complex if the one to be buried is still alive?
In confusion, Mr. Sanjaya got a new idea to inaugurate the funeral complex.
"I will hold a party inside the funeral complex by inviting all the local officials, religious leaders and journalists. In that way, journalists will surely report it in their respective media. So my funeral complex will be famous. The public will talk about it and want to visit it. "Mr. Sanjaya mumbled as he sat in the rocking chair in front of his open bedroom window.
After the opening ceremony of the beautiful cemetery complex on the small hill, the next day the local newspaper published the story. Mr. Sanjaya saw a picture of a funeral complex in the newspaper proudly.
"Now I feel ready to die." Mr. Sanjaya murmured with a beaming face. His wife suddenly approached with a glass of honey mixed with herbs.
Every morning, in turmeric, his wife always tells him to drink herbal medicine mixed with honey so that he remains healthy and mighty in his old age.
"From now on I do not want to drink herbs mixed with honey again," Mr. Sanjaya refused the beverage.
But Mr. Sanjaya still refused to drink herbal medicine mixed with honey. He wanted to get sick and quickly die after inaugurating a beautiful cemetery complex on his little hill. Now, for him, life is no longer attractive. He wishes to die soon and then be buried in a grand and solemn funeral procession. He imagined the funeral procession will be covered by a number of print and television journalists then broadcast widely and became the talk of all levels of society.
But it's been a year since he inaugurated a beautiful cemetery complex on a quiet, cool little hill and Mr. Sanjaya is getting tired of waiting for death.
One sunny morning, Mr. Sanjaya sat in a rocking chair as he flipped through the newspaper that had just been delivered to him.
He was surprised to see the picture of his funeral complex now increasingly crowded by young people at night. They are paired and often seen making out inside the funeral complex. According to some eyewitnesses, some of the visitors are caught making love inside the complex.
The news made Mr. Sanjaya angry. Soon a discussion was held with his wife and children and relatives who would be buried in the beautiful burial compound if they died.
"You must try to keep our funeral complexes in a good image, not a filthy place. The news must be rectified. Call the journalist who wrote it tell him to write another news to rectify the news, "Mr. Sanjaya instructed.
Not long after, however, Mr. Sanjaya decided to close the funeral complex to the public. Guards are stationed there day and night to make sure there are no unwelcome visitors.
The next day, Mr. Sanjaya was shocked again to read the public response in the paper. A number of concerned citizens were asking the government to immediately dismantle the funeral complex that has clearly become a morally corrupt place.
The next day, local officials made a statement in the paper that the funeral complex was private and not a local government property. And if it turns out the funeral complex is a morally corrupt place, the blame should not rest with the owner of the complex.
Mr. Sanjaya is getting worried. He began to feel a sense of remorse for having built a beautiful cemetery complex on the small hill, but he was alive and do not know when death will come for him. It was only natural that the empty funeral complex was then visited by young lovers looking for a quiet place to be with each other.
"I wonder if my death is delayed because I have prepared the burial complex?" Mr. Sanjaya suddenly remembered the myth of delayed death.
In the midst of Javanese society, there has always been a myth about delayed death by the preparation of death. The myth is so popular, so many Javanese who want to live long deliberately prepare the shroud and tombstone for themselves to be used for when death arrives. And it turns out many Javanese live a long life, as if the act of preparation actually keeps death further away.
Ten years on, Mr. Sanjaya now feels natural to believe the myth of postponement of death by the preparation of death. After all, he is still alive.
Indeed, his wife and children and all his relatives who would later be buried in the vicinity of his tomb are all still alive. And now, the myth is often the subject of conversations in the community.
Suddenly, almost everyone he knows are imitating his act of preparation. They build burial complexes for themselves and their loved ones. Many community plantation and paddy fields are bought by businessmen and officials to be used as sites for the beautiful cemetery complexes.
The poor are also preparing the tombs for families around their own homes. Some are deliberately making a hole with a burrow in front of the house, or behind the house, in preparation for death that is believed to be able to delay death.
Mr. Sanjaya suddenly felt sad, because he has become a pioneer in the construction of a funeral complex that was followed by many people. Now everyone considers it important to immediately build a funeral complex, or at least build a tomb as a form of preparation for death that can come at any time.
Now more and more people think that building a tomb is more important than building educational facilities to improve human resources and various means to improve the prosperity of living.
"I do not think I should feel guilty. The kings and royals of ancient times are to be blamed," said Mr. Sanjaya.
In the following days, Mr. Sanjaya likes to sit in a rocking chair in front of his wide-open bedroom window. Mr. Sanjaya dreams of the coming of death someday soon.

There are two good things about Beiimaan Love, one's Sunny Leone and the other is the film's music. Rest of the movie is jaded, overtly sentimental and trying too hard to be a contemporary love story. At times you feel this movie was made from a script that was probably rejected by Sharmila Tagore in the '70s and Rekha in the '80s. Its a grossly dramatised story of a woman who is cast aside by society and taboos. Yet she somehow manages to salvage her pride.
The movie starts off with Sunaina (Sunny Leone) being celebrated as a successful entrepreneur. Her public felicitation irks KK Malhotra (Rajiv Verma) and his son Raj (Rajniesh Duggal). Through several flashbacks the viewer is acquainted with their story, where Sunaina goes from being KK's blue eyed office girl to Raj's object of lusty ambitions. She invests too much faith and emotion in Raj and the Malhotras, while they only break her heart in return. Scorned by the unjust treatment meted out to her, she exacts her revenge by putting the Malhotras out of business. Right through the film, love becomes seditious as characters use love as a veil to cheat and swindle, therefore desperately trying to justify the film's title.
The problem with Beiimaan Love is that it tries one twists too many. The screenplay is all over the place. It tries to sneak in too many movie clichés and that just doesn't make a lot of sense. There's the usual fill of benevolent Grandmother love, Father and Son not seeing eye to eye and even the severely jaded rich folks not respecting middle class people especially when it comes down to marriage propositions. This script truly feels like it was rescued from a time capsule.
Bad writing aside, Beiimaan Love certainly looks slick. The visual treatment of the movie is very urban and chic, which just creates an even starker contrast with its lost-in-time style of writing. Director Rajeev Chaudhari really makes a meal out of his film.
Amidst all the chaos the one thing that lends some respectability and value add to the movie is Sunny Leone's presence. She looks absolutely gorgeous, is styled to perfection and just her honest efforts to portray a bold and confident woman makes the movie tolerable. Her co-stars though are left to suffer in caricatures for characters. Rajniesh Duggal, Rajiv Verma and even Sunny's better half Daniel Weber (making an acting debut) are all wasted in jaded roles. It's the music that compliments Sunny's best efforts and saves Beiimaan Love some major blushes.
As you'd expect from a Sunny Leone movie, Beiimaan Love has a lot of onscreen seduction and romance. But all the film's goodness is wasted on a script that's so trite and amateur that at times it gets laughable. This movie is strictly for die-hard Sunny Leone fans only.
All was not well at this star-studded tour!

Meticulous hand-finishing techniques, such as a gently hammered nickel-plated shade, make the Syllabus Pendant a studied choice for a space that can use a bit of sheen. The classic hanging dome style of the one-light fixture makes this one of those pendants that shows off a space even more smartly when hung in rows. The verve it would bring dangling above a kitchen island or over a dining room table that extends the length of a loft-like urban oasis would be shrewdly divine.

Police Oversight Board Investigation Finds APD Lied
Updated: Investigation Says APD Lied About Victoria Martens Case
The City's Police Oversight Agency (CPOA) has completed its investigation against Albuquerque Police Department's (APD) public information officers Celina Espinoza and Fred Duran for providing false information to the news media and to the public about APD's contact with nine (9) year old Victoria Martin and her family prior to the child's brutal murder.
The details of the investigation were released during a meeting of the Police Oversight Board's Case Review Committee.
Victoria Martens is the nine (9) year old child that was drugged, raped, murdered, mutilated, dismembered and burned allegedly by her mother, her mother's boyfriend and his cousin.
The murder is one of the most heinous crimes in Albuquerque history of an innocent child, and the three (3) defendants are in custody pending a trial on multiple felony charges.
Five months before the child was killed, the Children Youth and Families Department (CYFD) had received a complaint that one of the mother's boyfriends tried to kiss the nine (9) year old child which at the very least merited consideration and investigation for possible assault on a child or even child abuse.
CYFD said it did not investigate the allegation because the boyfriend was not a relative and did not live in the child's home but CYFD reported the complaint to APD and turned it over to APD.
The CPOA investigation specifically found that no APD personnel ever visited nine (9) year old Victoria or her mother to investigate the allegations.
The CPOA investigation concluded that officer Fred Duran and civilian Celina Espinoza lied when they told a reporter earlier this year that APD detectives had investigated a report that the boyfriend of the child's mother had tried to kiss the 10-year-old girl several months before she was murdered in August of 2016.
Joanne Fine, the Chair of the Police Oversight Board detailed the investigation's conclusions before the entire board when she said:
"The investigation showed that absolutely officer D[uran] did lie, set up and lie[ed] about the involvement of APD" … That Celina Espinoza was not guilty of making up the lie; she was guilty of repeating the lie that she was told by officer D[uran]. But subsequently, she said that when she discovered the truth that she went to the chief and that she called the reporter. I don't know if she went to the chief, but she did not call the reporter. The reporter called her."
According to the CPOA investigation, APD officials were told last December that no department personnel investigated the child abuse allegations even though APD officer Fred Duran insisted to an Albuquerque Journal reporter in January that APD investigated the case.
What is very disturbing is that the CPOA investigation found that APD Chief Gorden Eden was told of the lie in January, but APD waited six weeks to tell the truth and only told the truth after being confronted by an Albuquerque Journal reporter.
The CPOA probe also found that it was a civilian APD employee who made the decision to not investigate the complaint regarding the boyfriend after the state's Children Youth and Families Department made the referral to APD last year.
What the CPOA investigation found was that APD has no written policy on how to handle referrals about potential child abuse from CYFD and no one oversees the civilian who to determine whether the referral decision is the proper one.
INCONSISTENCIES IN TAPED INTERVIEWS
When you listen to the Albuquerque Journal interview tapes with the APD Public Information Officers, you quickly understand why so many people do not trust APD and why it has a serious credibility problems with the community.
There are six (6) major inconsistencies in the taped Journal interviews:
FIRST: Public Information Officer (PIO) Celina Espinoza told the Albuquerque Journal reporter that APD had investigated the CYFD report which was not true and was a total fabrication.
SECOND: Officer Fred Duran told the Journal reporter that APD detectives interviewed the child and her mother about the CYFD complaint.
Specifically, Fred Duran said "Detectives went and talked to the family and that's where we got the information that the mother had taken care of the situation by telling the boyfriend to leave and not come back."
Duran on the audio taped interview with the Journal reporter specifically says he was confident APD went out to the home, says he actually talked to the detectives and no reports were filed because no probable cause was found of a crime.
The truth is APD detectives never went to the child's home, never interviewed the child and never interviewed the mother.
Had there been interviews, a written report would have been required and any statements given would have to be transcribed and attached to the written report as per APD standard operating procedures.
THIRD: When Fred Duran was asked specifically why APD Detectives made no police offense report about the investigation and interviews, Duran said no report was made because making such a report would violate the child victim's rights and amount to "police surveillance".
This is absolute nonsense. Interviews of potential victims and witnesses in a case by police is standard operating procedure in any criminal investigation and are not surveillance.
FOURTH: PIO Celina Espinoza contradicted PIO Fred Duran on her audio interview with the Journal by saying that no APD detectives went to the home and that they did not follow up on the CYFD complaint because APD policy dictates that APD officers only follow up on criminal allegations and that "a kiss in not a crime".
Espinoza also said there were no reports filed because there was no evidence of a crime.
How would APD know if no crime was committed if APD Detectives never had contact or interviewed the child or the mother in the first place?
FIFTH: When the Journal asked about the contradicting information, a conference call was set up with Espinoza, Duran and the Journal reporter.
The Journal was told APD detectives did interview the family, the detective dealt with the reported kiss, but that they did not make any reports because there was no evidence of a crime.
The CPO Chair Fine specifically took issue that there was no evidence of a crime when it was pointed out that Officer Duran is a sworn officer, he should know the difference between not completing a kiss and an assault and they should have gone forward and done an investigation.
The Journal was told that the names of the detectives could not be released because they work on FBI high profile cases and releasing the detective's names would jeopardize pending cases.
In the audio recording, Espinoza opines that "attempted kissing" is not a crime and there was no evidence of criminal sexual penetration.
Espinoza states that because there was no probable cause of a crime, no reports were required to be written by the detectives.
The truth is that police offense reports are public record, they contain the names of investigating officers, and the CYFD complaint had nothing to do with any federal charges.
SIXTH: PIO Espinoza says in the conference call "Everybody did everything they were suppose to" even though previously Espinoza had said APD detectives had not followed up on the complaint from CYFD.
PROPOSED DISCIPLINE
Disciplinary recommendations made by the CPOA board include an 80-hour suspension for Officer Fred Duran and a reprimand for Public Information Officer Espinoza.
The CPOA investigation recommends that APD develop a written policy on how to deal with referrals from CYFD.
Given the serious nature of the allegations that APD failed to provide accurate information and lied to the public and the press, you would think the CPOA recommendations would be more serious.
What is tragic is that a child had to suffer and her life was taken in such a brutal manner when she possibly could have been saved had the CYFD Department and APD been a little more vigilant and dedicated to doing their jobs.

I have been thinking about this young man in Florida who walked into a school and started shooting. His mom died in November, and that is no excuse, but maybe it is because my kids lost their dad when they were 10 and 13, and being a socioogy major, I knew the statistics of kids who endure that. Do you know that young man fit those statistics? He did an extreme action because he was hurting and didn't have a way to fix it, so he hurt others...and himself.
I don't know what he was like before his mom died, but I know I was criticized for being a helicopter mom during the 3-4 years after the kids' dad died. I was told I needed to give them room, that their being allowed to crawl in my bed was wrong or "sick", that I was trying to fix them. Some people simply could not see that I was giving them room to grieve honestly with someone who might be able to help them process their grief and pain and anger. Some people couldn't see that night time is hell when you are hurting and being able to reach over and touch the parent that was still alive was stabliity, not sickness. Some people couldn't see thatI knew I couldn't fix them, but I never wanted them to feel abandoned in their pain.
And I am left wondering about this kid who may have had issues before his mom died but clearly was lost in grief afterward. Could this have been avoided? Could someone have helped him grieve better? Could someone have stopped these horrifying statistics, not just for him but the friends and families who lost their loved ones?
The truth is, my heart is broken for all of them.
And I know the whole issue of gun control, but, y'all, I don't see an issue of gun control. I see an issue of a kid who was hurting, who got lost in the darkness and wasn't found. What if he had been found? HOW could he have been found?
My kids have never threatened to kill people. Shoot, my son uses a glass and paper to take spiders outside because he won't kill them. But then, they also weren't left to find their way through trauma alone. One absolute truth about trauma is: if you leave trauma unaddressed, it will beget futher trauma. I wonder if this young man in Florida had anyone who tried to step into the trauma with him.
I don't know. I guess we will never know.
What I know is if we make this an issue about guns, then we only see this young man as a gunman who should have been stopped, not as a hurting person who really need help. As long as we only see the gun, we don't see the people in pain holding them...or find a way to help those people so they never consider picking the gun up in the first place.

AGF Malami Denies Sales Of FG Property, Sets Up Probe Panel
The Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami, has set up a panel to probe the alleged fraudulent sale of recovered assets of the federal government.
Mr Malami said the federal government was yet to commence the sale of its recovered looted assets.
In a press statement on Tuesday, Mr Malami's spokesperson, Umar Gwandu, acknowledged a media report, claiming that a "syndicate allegedly from the ministry sells federal government's recovered properties without the knowledge of the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice."
"It is important to set the record straight that the office of the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice has not officially started the sale of Federal Government's property," the statement read in part.
Mr Gwandu also said the AGF neither approved nor ordered the sale of any property.
"The Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice Abubakar Malami, SAN has set up a 5-member committee to investigate and verify the authenticity of the media report which allegedly claims that syndicate from the Federal Ministry of Justice sells Federal Government's recovered properties without the knowledge of the office of the Honourable Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice."
Mr Gwandu made reference to a circular signed by the Solicitor General of the Federation Umar Mohammed, dated November 29, 2021.
The circular was titled, 'The Constitution of a Committee to investigate the alleged sale of Federal Government of Nigeria's Property by a syndicate in the Ministry'.
"A committee is hereby constituted to investigate the allegation with the view to unravelling the veracity or otherwise of the publication" the circular partly read.
According to the statement, the committee chaired by the Director Public Prosecution of the Federation was inaugurated on Tuesday.
It is saddled with the responsibility of unveiling the accuracy of the publication and recommending ways of handling the matter in accordance with the provisions of the extant laws.
It is expected to complete the assignment within one week and submit its report of its investigation to the Solicitor General of the Federation and Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry of Justice.
"Individuals, groups, companies, institutions or organisations that claimed to have associated with the alleged syndicate from the Federal Ministry of Justice in relation to purchasing of houses, landed property, vehicles, vessels, plants and machinery belonging to the Federal Government are encouraged to come out with any information, evidence or document regarding the alleged sales," Mr Malami was quoted to have urged Nigerians.
Mr Gwandu said the "Secretariat of the Investigation Committee can be contacted at the Office of the Director Public Prosecution of the Federation, Federal Ministry of Justice and be reached within one week from 1st December, 2021 or via email: investigation.committee@justice.gov.ng."

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 23, 2010) - Crosshair Exploration & Mining Corp. (TSX:CXX)(NYSE Amex:CXZ) ("Crosshair") is pleased to announce the final results from the vanadium resource expansion program on the Central Mineral Belt (CMB) Project in Labrador. These results confirm the south-western extension of the vanadium mineralization. The updated vanadium resource estimate has commenced and is expected by the end of the year.
0.237% V2O5 over 8.5m (from 19.5m to 28.0m) in hole ML-129.
NOTE: The holes were not sampled in sequence.
"All of the above grades are higher than our projected cut-off for the upcoming resource estimate," says Stewart Wallis, President and CEO of Crosshair. "Without any further drilling, we expect to significantly increase our vanadium resource before the end of the year."
The vanadium resource expansion program was planned with the goal of adding significant pounds of vanadium to the existing vanadium resource without the need for further drilling. Given the fact that the previous drill programs on the CMB Project focused exclusively on uranium, most holes were originally sampled only where uranium was encountered. For this reason, approximately 3,600m of existing core was re-sampled and assayed for vanadium.
Vanadium recoveries from metallurgical test work yielded up to 93.4% vanadium extraction. For further details please see the July 7th, 2010 News Release.
Crosshair's exploration work on the CMB Project is supervised by Stewart Wallis, P.Geo., a member of the Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of BC, the President and CEO of Crosshair and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Wallis has verified that the assay results presented above have been accurately summarized from the official assay certificates provided to Crosshair. A QA/QC program has been implemented consisting of standard, blank and duplicate samples.
Split drill core samples are sent to Activation Laboratories in Ancaster, ON for analyses. Vanadium analysis is performed using Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Samples that exceed the upper limit for vanadium are re-assayed using fusion ICP.
Crosshair is a prominent player in the exploration and development of uranium and gold in the US and Canada. Its flagship Project, Bootheel, is located in uranium mining friendly Wyoming and with its in-situ mining potential; Bootheel is designed for near term production. The CMB Uranium/Vanadium Project is located in Labrador, Canada and has four currently defined resources – C Zone, Area 1, Armstrong and Two Time Zone. The Crosshair team is comprised of knowledgeable and experienced professionals with both exploration and mining backgrounds.

Working Assets / CREDO Action
Provides more than 300,000 customers across the United States with long-distance telephone services, wireless telephone services, and credit cards
Gives a percentage of its revenues to leftist groups and causes
Has raised more than $50 million for what it terms "progressive causes" since 1985
Opposes oil exploration in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
Opposes America's involvement in Iraq War
Opposes the Patriot Act
Established as Working Assets in 1985, and rebranded as CREDO Action in 2007, Working Assets/CREDO Action (WACA) is a company that provides more than 3 million customers across the United States with credit cards (initiated in 1985), long-distance telephone services (launched in 1991), and wireless telephone services (begun in 2000). Each time one of its members uses any of these services, WACA automatically funnels, at no extra cost to the person, 1% of its profit from that transaction as a donation to "progressive nonprofit groups." From 1985-2017, WACA raised more than $83 million for such entities.
The process of deciding precisely which organizations will receive WACA's donations is initiated by the company's customers, who nominate groups that they deem worthy of financial support. Once those nominations have been made, WACA staffers and board members narrow the field of eligible recipients. Finally, in turn, the customers specify how they would like their money to be apportioned among the groups in that smaller list.
Among the noteworthy organizations that have received significant amounts of funding from WACA over the years are: 350.org; ACORN; the Alliance For Justice; Alternet; the American Civil Liberties Union; the American Constitution Society for Law and Policy; America's Voice; Amnesty International USA; Bend The Arc; the Black Lives Matter Fund; the Brennan Center for Justice; the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities; the Center for Constitutional Rights; the Center for Economic and Policy Research; the Center for Media and Democracy; the Center for Popular Democracy; the Children's Defense Fund; Color Of Change; Common Cause; Defenders of Wildlife; Democracy For America; Democracy Now!; Demos; Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières; the Drug Policy Alliance; Earthjustice; the Economic Policy Institute; the Feminist Majority Foundation; Free Press; Friends of the Earth; the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN); Greenpeace International; the Human Rights Campaign; Human Rights Watch; the Institute for America's Future; J Street; the League of Conservation Voters; Media Matters for America; Mercy Corps; the Mother Jones Investigative Fund; the Ms. Foundation for Women; the NAACP Legal Defense Fund; the NARAL Pro-Choice America Foundation; the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force; the Natural Resources Defense Council; Oxfam America; People for the American Way; Planned Parenthood; the Ploughshares Fund; Project Vote; Public Citizen; the Rainforest Action Network; the Sentencing Project; the Southern Poverty Law Center; the Union of Concerned Scientists; United We Dream; the Voter Participation Center, Win Without War, and the Working Families Party.

One of WACA's original founders was Drummond Pike, who had previously established the Tides Foundation in 1976.
Since WACA's founding in 1985, the foci of its philanthropic attention have shifted along with the evolving political and social concerns of the time. In 1993, for instance, WACA focused heavily on promoting a single-payer health care system, and on urging an end to the ban on homosexuals in the military. In 1994 it offered a free, prepaid calling card to the first 10,000 members who called Congress to protest then-House Speaker Newt Gingrich's "Contract with America." And in 1995 WACA launched its "Flash Activist Network," a rapid-response program that disseminated faxes to "key decision-makers" on "urgent political issues." That same year, WACA initiated a Citizen Action program exhorting employers to pay their workers a "living wage."
Condemning "the Bush-Cheney saber-rattling" vis-a-vis a possible U.S. invasion of Iraq, WACA in 2002 raised $151,450 in "a special round-up to oppose the looming war." As "the rush to the Iraq War intensifie[d]" in February 2003, WACA teamed up with MoveOn.org and TrueMajority to run a full-page ad in the New York Times against America's impending military action. And in 2004, WACA donated more than $1 million to groups working on voter-registration and voter-mobilization campaigns, and against "voter-suppression" measures like photo ID requirements.
In April 2004, thousands of WACA customers participated in the "March for Women's Lives" in Washington, DC, an event promoting the notion that women should be granted unrestricted access to taxpayer-funded abortion-on-demand at any stage of pregnancy. For its members who were among the one million people in attendance that day, WACA provided signs bearing the "Working Assets" name and conveying messages that affirmed "a woman's right to choose." Also at the rally, WACA received an award for its contributions to, and support for, the pro-choice cause.
In 2010, WACA pushed heavily for a "public option" — i.e., a government insurance agency to "compete" with private insurers — in the healthcare reform bill that was being advanced by the Obama administration.
As WACA's member rolls exceeded the 2-million mark in 2011, the company sought to "fight the dangerous Keystone XL pipeline" — which would have carried some 800,000 barrels of tar sands oil from Canada to refineries in the U.S. each day — "on every front," by means of phone calls, petitions, letter-writing campaigns, rallies, etc.
In 2012, WACA's activist base grew to 3 million members. That same year, it created a CREDO SuperPAC that raised $2.5 million from some 70,000 donors in an effort to defeat conservative Tea Party Republicans who were running for Congress.
In October 2013, WACA launched a new CREDO Visa credit card which donates 10¢ to "progressive nonprofit groups" each time a member uses it to make a purchase.
Among WACA's leading concerns in 2015 were: stopping the construction of the aforementioned Keystone XL pipeline; securing "strong Net Neutrality rules"; "preventing Republicans from sabotaging the Iran nuclear deal"; "defending Planned Parenthood from Republicans attacks"; and "putting a stop to Arctic [oil] drilling."
At various times during the course of its history, WACA has been a member organization of the United For Peace and Justice coalition, the Win Without War coalition, and the Peace and Security Funders Group.

Two of Grosvenor Fund Management's UK funds have been named as top five funds in the latest Association of Real Estate Funds (AREF) / IPD rankings.
London Office I and Urban Retail III (Liverpool) produced some of the strongest returns over the five years to December 2015. Urban Retail III, which counts Liverpool One as its core asset, was also recognised as the top performing unlisted property fund of 2015, with returns well ahead of its peers.
Miles Dunnett, Fund Manager of Urban Retail III, said: "Liverpool ONE is now established as a super-prime retail scheme. Zara and Victoria's Secret chose to open new regional flagships here while Michael Kors selected Liverpool ONE for its first store in the North West. In total, 29 brands committed to Liverpool ONE in 2015, meaning the centre is 99% let or under offer. Footfall grew 3% year on year in 2015 and total sales by 8.5%.
"This strong performance was driven by a deep understanding of our customers, allowing us to deliver a targeted tenant mix, engaging on-site activity and experience at every visit, building consumer loyalty. As a result we have secured exceptional tenant demand that has underpinned rental growth at a rate well above our peer group.
Scott Rowland, Fund Manager of London Office I, said: "The disciplined approach we take has driven the outperformance of the Fund. We are highly selective in our choice of assets, holding high quality properties that we are always seeking to improve, to enhance revenue growth.
James Raynor, CEO, Grosvenor Fund Management, said: "The outperformance of both London Office I and Urban Retail III is evidence of our commitment to long term stewardship and the strategic, value adding approach to managing our assets.
Our fund management business aims to create value for investors, shareholders and staff by creating compelling investment strategies that are expertly implemented. Building on our recognised skills and track record, we focus on urban property, often mixed-use and with a retail focus, in cities and locations whose vibrancy will endure. We select high-quality assets and manage them vigorously. We treat our tenants, as well as our investors, as partners, building close and mutually beneficial relationships that draw on Grosvenor's long experience in real estate. We work best with clients who, like Grosvenor, have a long-term view of investments while being alert to the potential of short-term opportunities to enhance returns. As at 31 December 2014, assets under management were £3.0bn with 59 investor partners in 21 property funds, club deals and separate account mandates.


Islamabad, July 12, IRNA -- Taxila Museum is one of the oldest museums in Pakistan which holds most significant and comprehensive collections of ancient Gandhara civilization.
Gandhara was an ancient kingdom situated along the Kabul and Swat rivers of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Gandhara is known to be the cradle of Buddhist Civilization.
The archeological site of Taxila is just 40 kilometers away from Islamabad. It is the most important site of Gandhara civilization housing about 50 archeological remains from the second century BC to 6th century AD. Taxila was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980.
Origin of Taxila as a city goes back to c. 1000 BC. Some ruins at Taxila date to the time of the Achaemenid Empire in the 6th century BCE, followed successively by Mauryan Empire, Indo-Greek, Indo-Scythian, and Kushan Empire periods.
Taxila was discovered in 1911 - 1922 by Sir Joh Marshal who has been regarded as the discoverer of many other archeological. The main ruins of Taxila are divided into three major cities, each belonging to a distinct time period.
Construction of Taxila museum started in 1918 and its foundation stone was laid by Lord Chelmsford, Viceroy of India, to display the important relics discovered from Texila archeological sites.
There are some 4000 objects displayed, including stone, stucco, terracotta, silver, gold, iron and semiprecious stones. Mainly the display consists of objects from the period 600 BC to 500 AD.
In the six galleries of the museum the material has been presented subject wise. Original objects have been exhibited in the wall showcases and in the middle of the halls are table showcases.
Buddhist, Hindu and Jain religion are well represented through these objects discovered from three ancient cities and more than two dozen Buddhist stupas and monasteries and Greek temples in the region.
Taxila museum has one of the most significant and comprehensive collections of stone Buddhist sculpture from the first to the seventh centuries in Pakistan known as Gandharan art.
The core of the collection comes from excavated sites in the Taxila valley, particularly the excavations of Sir John Marshall. Other objects come from excavated sites elsewhere in Gandhanra.
There are around 24 stories about Buddha carved in stones which are on display in the museum. The life stories of Buddha were written in Gandhara and in their light the sculptors carved them in stones.
Many people are impressed by the Dancing Lady of Gandhara civilization displayed in the museum. There are two dozen Buddhist Stupas can be found by people in the museum.
These Stupas are in the same condition as they were discovered during the digging process; just some are repaired to give the touch of reality.
The museum contains a large collection of coins from the period of the Indo-Greeks to the late Kushans.
The Taxila museum is a well display of Gandhara civilization. It is the best place to know the riveting history of the civilization of that time.


The Global Concessional Financing Facility grant provides budget support to Colombia as it works to facilitate access to jobs and basic social services to improve the migrants' lives, the World Bank said. The grant will aid the communities hosting the migrants.
"These non-reimbursable resources will help finance the significant fiscal effort Colombia is making to host and help the Venezuelan migrants in the best way possible."
The concessional funding is part of a $750 million development policy financing package being prepared by the World Bank to support Colombia's fiscal sustainability, economic competitiveness and migration challenges.
"The massive and rapid migration from Venezuela presents an unprecedented humanitarian and development challenge for the region today," World Bank Latin America vice president Axel van Trotsenburg, said in a statement. "We need to act now to ensure that the migrants from Venezuela and their hosts get the support they need."

They finished the first part of the series! Yay!
Why This Must Be Read: The slow burn! Billy is the cutest and sweetest, and Abigail gets to dress in pirate clothes and is taught how to sail by the crew. Also: Miranda Barlow appreciation!
p.s.: there is another story marked as part of the series, set before this story. It's not really part of the series, nor is it Abigail/Billy. I recommend that, too, though.
I'm glad someone else loves them!
I still don't dare venture into the ao3 tags for fear of spoilers (I'm mid-season 3). Billy/Abigail feels reasonably safe in that respect.


My maternal grandfather. Emigrated from East Prussia to Pound, Wisconsin about 1890. Fourteen children by two sisters, the second of whom was Louise. The last two of his children, Addie (Hedwig) who became an obstetrician at Jackson Clinic in Madison Wisconsin), and Olga (my mother Margaret) were born in America. Seven (Albert a lawyer and State Senator, Minnie, Bertha Penkowski, Martha Bahlert, Elizabeth Penberthy, Edith and one other) accompanied him to America, four of his children remained in Germany, one of whom was married-named Domboski.

Posted to Applications on Tuesday, November 27, 2012 Share:
Contrail MGN full-suspension bike from Bergamont is a top mountain bike model. The bike uses innovative technology, such as butted frame tubes with various wall thicknesses as well as carbon frame components to deliver Olympic-winning performances. Light polymer plain bearings from igus are also used to handle the severe stresses of the rear suspension.
Full suspension bikes - also known as "˜fully' - with a spring-mounted rear wheel are found to be the best by anyone who rides mountain bikes for fun and professionally. They give a far more comfortable ride and are ultimately faster, because the rider has to respond less to uneven ground. The adjustment of the suspension must be good and tight in order to provide the comfort and performance desired. They must be set up to absorb quick jolts well, therefore not endangering the stability of the rear suspension, and the whole system must also be "˜drive-neutral' with motion of the suspension not being transferred to the pedals.
The Contrail MGN model, designed by graduate engineer and product manager Thomas Marquardt at Bergamont, features supported single linkage rear suspension with a bell crank on the frame. Known as a "˜Top Fully' in the trail bike category, they are for athletes who both win marathons and also want to enjoy cycling for fun.
Bergamont originally used ball bearings for all the bearing points of its "˜Fullys'. Marquardt says: "At the two front pivot points, at the connection between the swingarm and the frame, we used deep groove ball bearings. This is because the bearings here have to execute a relatively large swivel movement." However, Bergamont has taken a new approach for the Contrail MGN and is using a plain bearing at the rear joint, on the rear axle.
There are good reasons for this, the most important being lateral stiffness. A plain bearing offers a much larger contact area than a roller bearing. Marquardt explains: "Even with very severe stresses and large lateral forces, nothing wobbles." The plain bearings will perform very well with the high-pressure loading at this bearing point. He notes: "The pressure is also very well distributed over the larger area."
Tribologically optimised polymer materials
Bergamont needed advice in selecting the optimal bearing material, and its tests with plain bearings on the suspension joint were supported by igus, who offers 10,200 items, including 35 different tribologically optimised polymer materials. The first tests were performed with iglidur G because this universal material offers the broadest range of applications at an economical cost. However, as the wheels often run through streams and puddles, and they are often cleaned after use with a garden hose or even a pressure washer, iglidur J proved to give a higher performance with greater dimensional stability when wet. Thomas Marquardt says: "These conditions are no problem for polymer plain bearings."
The self-lubricating iglidur polymer plain bearings can expect a long and reliable service life and the feedback from bike owners was 100 per cent positive. The torsional stiffness of the wheel is very good and the suspension responds very quickly. The careful design of the bearing point certainly contributes to this. The innovative use of plain bearings is one of many factors that proves Bergamont's high-tech claim for mountain bikes and trail bikes. Other design features include butted tubes with varying wall thicknesses, which contribute to the light weight of only 10.8kg. The fork is fitted with a carbon crown; the dropouts are 3D forged.
The bikes deliver world-class performance: the Olympic gold medallist in Beijing 2008, Sabine Spitz's bike, had iglidur plain bearings in a sensitive suspension fork. The polymer components stood up to the constant impacts, edge loads, and dirt on the difficult and spectacular course at the Chinese Laoshan Velodrome. At the 2004 Athens Olympics, iglidur bearings were also on the winners' podium. Light and wear-resistant, they were built into the guide rollers of the derailleurs.

I also have autism so my socialisation skills aren't the best and even doing this I'm getting really anxious. I love cats and I'm only 12 but my mind is older.
I'm in Qld Australia and currently I'm reading Queen of Air and Darkness by Cassandra Clare.
P.S. For some reason I strongly remember the member happeh. Is she still active?
hello! we welcome you with open wings.
hey Eva! My name's Pluto! I also play cello! Yeah, happeh's still active. Have fun!
My cousin plays the cello. I play the violin. Anyways, hi! Welcome to our forums! You probably know a lot already, but hi!
Hi Eva! I'm Sorrel, and I brought an army of kittens for you! *unleashes fluffies* MWA-HAHAHA! YOU WILL SNUGGLE!
Welcome to the forums, Eva.
Hello, Eva, my fellow crazy cat lady and new friend!
