The US Has Declared All-Out Trade War on Russia
August 3, 2017 Zerohedge 2
President Trump reluctantly signed what he described as Congress's 'seriously flawed' Russia-sanctions bill. The legislation severely limits his power to negotiate trade terms and will launch a virtual trade war. The bill was passed almost unanimously, 98-2 in the Senate and 419-3 in the House, which places it beyond the President's veto power. Both Republicans and Democrats continue to push the US toward total war with Russia. –GEG
Several hours after President Trump officially signed the new Russian sanctions into law – despite his reservations and his statement that while he favors "tough measures to punish and deter aggressive and destabilizing behavior by Iran, North Korea, and Russia, this legislation is significantly flawed" – Russia responded when moments ago Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said on his FaceBook page that any hopes of improving Russian relations with the new US administration are dead, that the Trump administration demonstrated complete impotence by transferring executive power to Congress "in the most humiliating manner", and most notably, that the US just declared a full-scale trade war on Russia.
From Medvedev's facebook page:
The signing of new sanctions against Russia into law by the US president leads to several consequences. First, any hope of improving our relations with the new US administration is over. Second, the US just declared a full-scale trade war on Russia. Third, the Trump administration demonstrated it is utterly powerless, and in the most humiliating manner transferred executive powers to Congress. This shifts the alignment of forces in US political circles.
What does this mean for the U.S.? The American establishment completely outplayed Trump. The president is not happy with the new sanctions, but he could not avoid signing the new law. The purpose of the new sanctions was to put Trump in his place. Their ultimate goal is to remove Trump from power. An incompetent player must be eliminated. At the same time, the interests of American businesses were almost ignored. Politics rose above the pragmatic approach. Anti-Russian hysteria has turned into a key part of not only foreign (as has been the case many times), but also domestic US policy (this is recent).
The sanctions codified into law will now last for decades, unless some miracle occurs. Moreover, it will be tougher than the Jackson-Vanik law, because it is comprehensive and can not be postponed by special orders of the president without the consent of the Congress. Therefore, the future relationship between the Russian Federation and the United States will be extremely tense, regardless of the composition of the Congress or the personality of the president. Relations between the two countries will now be clarified in international bodies and courts of justice leading to further intensification of international tensions, and a refusal to resolve major international problems.
What does this mean for Russia? We will continue to work on the development of the economy and social sphere, we will deal with import substitution, solve the most important state tasks, counting primarily on ourselves. We have learned to do this in recent years. Within almost closed financial markets, foreign creditors and investors will be afraid to invest in Russia due to worries of sanctions against third parties and countries. In some ways, it will benefit us, although sanctions – in general – are meaningless. We will manage.
Separately, Russia's foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said that Russia retains the right to impose new counter-measures, adding the US sanctions are short-sighted, and risk harming global stability. He concludes that and attempts to pressure Russia will not make it change course.

From the to-do about Russia influencing our internal affairs it is understandable why we have made enemies with the multi billion dollars we spent in foreign aid interfering in their internal affairs. We support one despot and their opposition is our enemy. If it's against the law to interfere in foreign nations internal affairs why are we doing it? If it isn't against the law, why the investigation? Special council Bob Mueller investigating Trump/Russia connection through the grand jury is to investigate crime. That's what the grand jury was established for, but there was no criminal charge. Is the law… Read more »

Ride, Swap, Ride: The Ogden Bike Collective Bike Swap
By Ben Trentelman
Crank lost its cool? Shifter gotten stiffer? Don't let your busted bike get you down: You can swap that thing out for a rad new ride at the Ogden Bike Collective's 8th Annual Bike Swap. Predating the actual collective, the swap originated to raise seed money for a collective in Ogden, similar to the Salt Lake City model, with a mission to "Promote cycling as an effective and sustainable form of transportation and as a cornerstone of a cleaner, healthier and safer society." The collective also provides refurbished bikes and educational programs to the community, with a focus on children and lower-income households. "We rely on the money raised at the Bike Swap to keep us running," says Clint Watson, director of the Ogden Bike Collective. "Fundraisers like the Bike Swap account for about 25 percent of the collective's budget, with another 25 percent from grants and 50 percent from bike sales."
The swap will feature a wide range of bikes and components for sale, and this year, for the first time, will include new bikes from QBP (Quality Bicycle Products), such as three Trolls, two Cross Checks and a Karate Monkey. "We get donations from several of the bike manufacturing companies around town that we can sell for cheap," says Watson. If you have a bike you want to unload, you can even consign with the Collective at the swap. They'll sell your bike and retain 25 percent of the sale price as a donation, and you get a little padding for your pockets to splurge on more bike swag. "A lot of people have bikes just sitting around the garage that they might be on the fence about," says Watson, "and this could be their chance to move it off and pick up something new." You can bring your bike in a few days before the swap or even the day of. If you are shopping for a bike, you can purchase with confidence, knowing that all of the used bikes being sold will be in tip-top shape after a tune-up from one of the Collective's professional bike mechanics. "We don't send any bikes out for sale that haven't been looked over by a technician," Watson says proudly. "We stand behind every bike that leaves the shop." On top of quality and safety, you can't beat the swap's generous 10 percent off purchases for the day. You can also expect help finding a bike that fits your body and riding needs, as well as any technical advice that you may need.

At the swap, you are bound to see a wide variety of folks who love bikes and want to support their community collective. "We see families, we see young single guys working on fixed gears and we see everyone here," says Watson. Upon entering the collective's small building, located on a quiet neighborhood street, it is immediately clear that the Ogden Bike Collective is community driven. Their current shop still holds some remnants of the old dry-cleaning business that once occupied the space. Pictures of the building's transformation into a bike shop adorn the wall as you near the entrance, which is lined with bike-filled racks and bins full of parts. Watson fondly recalls the community support that went into helping set up this newer shop after the collective left its previous Downtown location due to rising rent costs. "A lot of the work here was donated by local businesses and volunteers," says Watson. "Through generous support from Ogden City, we were able to completely landscape outside of the building, and Pitcher Plumbing & Heating donated all of their work to redo the plumbing." In addition to a strong community showing, Watson is excited to have a taco truck and Grounds For Coffee on hand, as well as some live entertainment to keep swap attendees in good spirits while they peruse the array of gear.
The 8th Annual Bike Swap will take place on Saturday, May 7, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Ogden Bike Collective is located at 936 28th Street. The swap typically ends with an improvised group ride around the city as attendees are eager to try out and flaunt their new gear. You can find additional info on the Collective's Facebook, Instagram or website, ogdenbikecollective.org. The Ogden Bike Collective is open Wednesdays and Thursdays from 12 to 8 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 12 to 5 p.m. for buying bikes or working in the DIY bike shop. If you are handy with a wrench (or want to learn how to be handy with a wrench), you can volunteer at the Collective on Thursdays from 1 to 8 p.m. or by appointment. The Collective will also take bike donations Wednesdays through Saturdays from 12 to 5 p.m.
"There is no event like this north of Salt Lake," Walton says, so bring out your old bike and join a tight-knit crew of fellow bike enthusiasts looking for a little something special to add to their two-wheeled collection.

Ingrid Sinclair es una directora, guionista y productora británica-zimbabuense. Es reconocida internacionalmente por su película de 1996, Flame, un drama sobre la Guerra de Liberación de Zimbabue y sus documentales sobre ese país africano. Flame fue elegida para la sección Quincena de Realizadores en Cannes y para el Premio Nestor Almendros en el Festival Internacional de Cine de Human Rights Watch en  Nueva York.

Biografía
Sinclar nació en Rhodesia en 1948. Se crio en Gran Bretaña donde estudió Medicina y Literatura. Se mudó a Zimbabue en 1985 después de casarse con el cineasta y productor Simon Bright. Ambos participaron activamente en el Movimiento de Liberación zimbabuense y más tarde se convirtieron en ciudadanos. Sinclair escribió y dirigió una variedad de cortometrajes y documentales a finales de los ochenta y principios de los noventa, explorando temas de igualdad, cultura, historia y el paisaje de Zimbabue. Se le considera una cineasta del Renacimiento africano.

La situación política en Zimbabue cambió drásticamente en 2001 con el programa de reforma agraria. Durante este período, "no sólo los granjeros blancos fueron purgados, sino también otros blancos que todavía trabajaban en Zimbabue". También fue durante este tiempo cuando se intensificó el esfuerzo idealológico del régimen, alimentando la hostilidad racial.

En 2003, dejaron Zimbabue y se mudaron a Brístol, donde establecieron el Afrika Eye Film Festival y continúan trabajando en la producción cinematográfica.

Come Take a Walk With Me
In Memory of Michael Watson
Chucky Mullins Story
Why do bad things happen? Why do good things happen? How is it all decided on who gets the fate or fortune so to say? Is there a formula that determines who should have the better life? Is it luck? Heredity? What is it?
There is only one who truly knows the answers to those questions and that's the man himself in the good Lord above. Then you have everyone else's opinion that you have the choice of listening to or not. Well, for what it's worth, here's mine.
When things go wrong, as many times as we may ask the "why me?" question, we're never going to get an answer, or at least not one that we're happy with. So we have to fight to overcome whatever is trying to hold us down or it will eventually defeat us.
As my dear old dad would say as he'd smack his fist into his palm, "You just have to keep pounding, son. Just keep pounding." He says it with a chuckle, but that's basically what it comes down to. Keep at it 'til you beat it.
The question of "why me?" came up to my family and me in a big way on a dreadful night in early March of 1988. It is a night that I will never be able to forget. It has given my family and me a new way of living, and it changed my life forever.

Blue, Jellyfish-Like Creatures Are Washing Up All Over America's Beaches. What's Going On?
Temperatures are on the rise as we head into the dog days of summer. It's the perfect time to hit the waves and enjoy the weather. You may want to exercise caution if you're thinking of heading to the Atlantic Ocean, however: East Coast shores are being inundated with jellyfish-like creatures known as Portuguese Man of Wars. The blue, tentacled animals have been washing up in New Jersey, but typically dot the shorelines of more southern beaches as they search for warm waters.
Portuguese Man of Wars aren't just an animal: they're actually considered colonies and not at all related to jellyfish, despite their striking appearance and tentacles. They can injure you if you come in contact with them, both with their tentacles and via secretions from the bulbous jelly part of the animal known as the polyp. The polyp is a blue-tinged sack that floats above the water and makes up a pivotal part of the animal's ability to kill and digest prey. It contains a mixture of carbon monoxide and other gases that, when they come in contact with mammals, have the ability to paralyze and injure them. Stings from Portuguese Man of Wars may even be fatal, depending on your sensitivity.
Typically, humans stung by Portuguese Man of Wars experience excruciating pain primarily at the point of contact. Symptoms can extend all the way to respiratory troubles, however. Rather than picking them up or touching them, it's best to avoid them and be aware of your surroundings. Portuguese Man of Wars are fascinating creatures even if they look pretty creepy. They're somewhat related to yet another animal that has inundated shorelines, this time on the Pacific coast: the Velella Velella. Both are siphonophoras, meaning they are floating colonies of various animals that all form a super organism. Velella Velella most recently hit the beaches of California and Oregon last summer.
Velella Velella are far smaller and not at all poisonous, however. They're around three inches in diameter at the most and are colloquially known as "by-the-wind sailors." Portuguese Man of Wars range in size but can grow to be as large as a foot in diameter with tentacles extending as far as 165 feet. It's the animal's tentacles that are perhaps the most difficult to avoid on the beach given their length. So, what should you do if you get stung? According to TechTimes, your best bet is to stay still and remove the animal from your skin with a stick or other object, then use seawater to wash the sting and ibuprofen to treat the pain.

VIDEO: Eastern Florida State Volleyball Looks Forward to Challenging Season
By Mark DeCotis // August 18, 2015
ABOVE VIDEO: Volleyball Titans 2015 Media Day – the Eastern Florida State College women's volleyball team competes in the NJCAA and the FCSAA.
BREVARD COUNTY • MELBOURNE, FLORIDA – In her second season as Eastern Florida volleyball head coach and her first with all her own recruits Andrea Rasmussen has set high expectations.
Hoping to build on the momentum from a 16-16 overall finish in 2014 Rasmussen will field a team of four returnees and nine newcomers, seven of them freshmen.
"It gives us room for improvement this year," Rasmussen said of the 2014 season. "It gives us a good stepping stone, a good segue and it gives us a lot of room to keep moving up this year."
And moving up will be necessary given the goals Rasmussen has set.
Andrea Rasmussen
"I think my expectations moving forward are definitely an improvement on our record," Rasmussen said.
"I really would like to see us at the state tournament obviously and I think that's definitely well within our grasp this year."
"Just continued improvement from our athletes and showing we're going to work hard and we'll improve each game and each time we step on the floor," said Rasmussen.
Returning are right side hitter Treasure Ingram from Fort Pierce, Florida; middle blocker Lena Kaelberer from Stuttgart, Germany, both 2014 FCSAA All-Southern Conference second-team selections; middle blocker Juliana Torres from Joinville SC, Brazil and defensive specialist Lindsey Whittington from Sebring, Florida.

Adding experience as sophomore transfers are Mariana Dal Pozzo, an outside and right side hitter from 2014 national champion Blinn College in Brenham, Texas and Toledo PR Brazil and Brooke Davis, a setter from Oglethorpe University in Atlanta and Cocoa Beach, Florida.
Freshmen are Megan Graefe, a libero and defensive specialist from Greeley, Colorado; Avarie Lewis a libero and defensive specialist from Palm Harbor, Florida; Mariah Menke an outside and right side hitter from Port St. Lucie, Florida; Keishla Machado, a setter from Cidra, Puerto Rico; Myrlena Pagan Luna, a setter from Carolina, Puerto Rico; and Alondra Modesto, a middle blocker and right side from San Juan, Puerto Rico.
"Looking forward I think we have a good base underneath us, we have a good passing and defensive base and I think that will allow us to run different options," Rasmussen said.
"But a lot of it is being able to mesh the new players with the ones we have returning."
The schedule will test Rasmussen's goals. The Titans open with two matches on Saturday at Lake-Sumter State College and face four more road matches before hosting Daytona State College at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 1.
The Titans have 14 home appearances at the Titan Field House on the Melbourne Campus.
Admission to Titans home matches is free.
The Titans open Southern Conference play at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 15 hosting Indian River State College.
The conference, as usual includes 2014 national runner-up and 28-time defending conference champion Miami Dade College which visits at 6 p.m. Sept. 22.

The top two conference teams advance to the NJCAA Region 8/FHSAA Tournament. Eastern Florida finished third in conference last season with a 4-4 record, one victory shy of qualifying for a shot at the tournament.
Two of the Titans home matches will be televised live on WEFS-TV and streamed live on the Internet. They are the Sept. 15 match against Indian River State and the 2 p.m. Oct. 3 non-conference match with St. Johns River State College.

First of all, it is an excuse, but I am never going to Tokyo session frequently. Intro was the first time in 10 years when I checked the record, J-FLOW was the first time in 4 years. The purpose is to confirm the position where I stand.
Basically, go as far as possible, aim for sessions where no one knows. However, after having overcome the last train in the previous intro, I was (or rarely) wandering about Ueno's EVERY SWING which is convenient for going home, Janome and Four and More.
This time participating in academic society of professional pituitary tumor where attendance point of academic society became a little deficient, studying seriously at noon (true). I plan to go to the professional live at night and go to the closing session.
As a digression, the day before the 3.11 earthquake, I was participating in Ueno Every-Swing session. And, it was damaged in the conference venue in front of the station in Akihabara. As it was, the conference was stopped on the way, prohibited from leaving the building, revealed the night with colleagues on the spot. I could not move with a train that did not move, I got caught in a returning refugee who got stuck up and came back home all day.
Well, this time I participate in the session of 2/24 (Friday) Kinshicho J-Flow. I was surprised that Master remembered it. It is quite comfortable here. Alto is 4 people. I meet a young saxophone from my same business. "Moon's desert" with music notation It seems that other players enjoyed it.
The next day 25th (Saturday) I went to a koko afternoon session in Shibuya. It was my first time here, but I encountered bastards with Mr. Sweetbath of b. It was also Kobe that I came across a acquaintance, but it is strange that I will come across a citizen in a Tokyo session.
I wrote properly "Koka" on the session board, but wryly though it was called twice with "Next piano is Iga san ...". Often it is called appropriately with the name of the ninja system "○ ○". The postal item at my house has a track record arrived at "Mr. Kazama."
Only in three sessions, "gone with th wind" lost without looking at the music. Oh, sorry. In the case of Reunited with Onozuka who participated in Gunma "Jazz & Hot Spring Tour" recruited in mixi in 2006. It was a collaboration since calling K Note in 2010.
However, it took a few code notes that I wrote for the session and it did not come out. A little Moyama.
I thought of what to do in time, but eventually I went to the Takadanobaba intro for the first time in ten years. The level is high in fossil. Pros were mixed and it was very exciting, anyhow about my piano, when I listen to other pianists the styles are interesting and interesting. Mr. God Inoue's attentiveness finally finished 6/8 Norway's forest with trio and finished pleasantly. I am full.


During my two weeks in Thailand, I traveled with a group where we visited the cities of Bangkok, Damnoen Saduak, Phitsanulok, Chiang Mai and the island of Koh Samet. In this blog post, read all about the good and not-so-good experiences about my time on the island of Koh Samet.
Since I did a group tour to Thailand, all of my fights and hotels were taken care of beforehand. What I highly recommend you do is set your desired travel dates into Skyscanner ahead of time and wait to see when the prices are low enough to purchase. I flew from Newark Airport to Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok with a 3-hour layover in Hong Kong. It took us 16 hours to get from Newark to Hong Kong and then another 2.5 – 3 hour flight to Bangkok.
After spending a few days in the mountains of Chiang Mai, we were ready to relax at the beach. From Chiang Mai International Airport, we flew an hour to Bangkok and then took a two-hour bus drive to a port where we took a small boat to the island of Koh Samet. I will admit that things got a little crazy because we had haul our heavy luggage and bags onto the dock and the crewmembers would throw them onto a smaller long tail boat.
The boat ride from the port to Koh Samet was around 20 minutes and we were lucky to get a beautiful sunset over the beautiful Thai mountains. When we finally arrived at our resort, our boat docked in the water. In Thailand, whenever you travel to an island by boat, you have to walk through the water to get to the beach. When I was first told this, I was slightly confused as I was trying to figure out how we would do that without all of our stuff getting wet. Well, the water surrounding the island is very shallow and the boat pulls close up to the point where the water is barely ankle high. You just take off your sandals and walk through the water, while the crewmembers will help carry your luggage to the main lobby of the hotel. It was actually pretty cool!
The four-star hotel we stayed at in Koh Samet was called The C Samet . It was a villa-style resort, which is normally where you would stay in on an island in Southeast Asia. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and so is the beach area, but I will admit that this resort itself is advertised as being nicer than what it really is. Even though it is pretty common in Thailand, the shower and the toilet was in the same area in the bathroom, so when you showered, the toilet would be soaking wet. Because of this, our bathroom started to smell really bad. I did enjoy their morning beachfront breakfast though! The fruit platters they offered as well as the noodle and rice dishes were amazing.
You could find a plethora of different hotels and resorts in Koh Samet based on your budget on Hotels.com. There are also a wide range of Airbnb options on the island.
One of the biggest mistakes when planning my trip to Thailand was that I went during the country's rainy or monsoon season. If you are planning a trip to Southeast Asia, I highly recommend you go during the wintertime (in the Northern Hemisphere) if you want perfect weather. Since I traveled there during July, it rained almost every day while we were on the island. We did, however, get to squeeze a few memorable activities in during our time in Koh Samet.
After our breakfast during our first full day in Koh Samet, we hopped on a boat that took us out to sea. The first island we stopped at was called Koh Thalu. The water there was crystal blue and there were views of the beautiful mountains from afar. There were also beautiful seashells and sand dollars scattered around the beach. This is the Thai islands I have always dreamt about.
After our boat docked, we walked through the water onto the beach where we were given snorkeling gear. I was so excited to snorkel and see what treasures hid in the Gulf of Thailand. The water was so warm from Thailand's heat and I loved how I was able to see my feet at the bottom of the sea. I was so used to the murky brown waters on the main land that it was nice to finally be able to swim in island-blue waters.
During our snorkeling adventure, we were able to see beautiful fish, coral and sea urchins, which we had to watch out for as they ended up stinging a few people. The other thing we had to watch out for was the jellyfish. One of the big differences when you swim in Southeast Asia compared to the East Coast of North America is that you have to always be on guard since there are definitely deadlier creatures. These guys were huge!
When we were finished snorkeling, the locals had a nice spread of fresh pineapple, cantaloupe and watermelon waiting for us in the shade. We were also able to enjoy our fresh fruits and the stunning views of the island on the wooden swings.
I am not a fan of wearing life vests since I can swim and float in deep waters for a long period of time, but it was required that we wear them when we were snorkeling. I ended up feeling a little sick after that adventure since my body was sinking into the vest and I was rocking back and forth way too much from the tide. I honestly couldn't wait to get to the beach and take a short nap.
Luckily, the next island on our boat tour was where we were going to relax. Prior to visiting Koh Samet, I was looking online and saw that the island offers a beautiful dock with mountain views and crystal blue water. When we arrived at this island, the pictures of Koh Samet came to life. The sand was warm and welcoming, so I laid my towel down and let the sun hit my face for a bit. We also got to walk on the dock and admire the views. Before we left, we also enjoyed delicious coconut ice cream from one of the island's vendors.
During our evenings on the island, we took tuk tuks to downtown Koh Samet where we enjoyed dinner on the beach, bon fires and fun beach parties.
One thing I did not know prior to going to Koh Samet was that it is run by the Cue – also known as Thailand's government. Since the government runs Koh Samet, the entire island has a curfew of 10:30pm. I was definitely disappointed that there was a curfew, but I still made the best of the situation.
When we first got to the beach, we enjoyed our time singing and dancing the night away at Lido Beach Bar. They played a variety of American and Spanish music and they were running a great happy hour special on tropical drinks.
Since we only had a few days on Koh Samet, we didn't want the night to be over at 10:30pm, so we ended up finding a nearby black light bar called Naga Bar. Since Naga Bar is open later than the curfew, we assumed that it was owned by the Cue. It didn't stop us from having a good time though. They had a variety of different colored body paint (they painted a tribal print on my face). The music that played at this fun spot was the kind of music that was played at the house parties I attended in college, so it was a good time!
Located all throughout the island were beachfront restaurants where you could enjoy amazing Thai seafood. I will never forget the amazing seafood fried rice that I had served in a pineapple (pictured above). It was probably my favorite meal during my time in Thailand. I also enjoyed an amazing dish of glass noodles, crab and fresh veggies another night.
In addition, if you get to the public beach area at a specific time, there will be an amazing fire show right by the water. It was so magical and all of the people performing were so talented!
During the last couple days in Koh Samet, we had a ton of fun activities planned such as parasailing, banana boating and jet skiing, but because it rained heavily on and off, these activities were unfortunately called off. I was bummed out about it, but figured that it would be my opportunity to relax, read, enjoy great food and get a well-needed Thai massage.
One of the most amazing parts of Koh Samet was that there was an area on the beach dedicated to Thai massages. They were super cheap, so I bought quite a few services. I got a full body massage, facial as well as head and neck rubs. The massage services ranged from 400 – 600 Thai baht, which is equivalent to around $12 – $18 USD. (That is NOTHING compared to massage services you get in the States.) It was seriously an amazing deal and we even got to listen to the small waves crash along the shore. You definitely can't get that at your local spa at home.

Even though my experience on Koh Samet wasn't what I had hoped it would be, mainly because of monsoon season, it was still nice to see a Thai island. I definitely want to get back to Thailand and experience more of the island life one day! This is a prime example that not all travel experiences will be what you expect it, but it is always important that you could still make a situation better.
I hope you all enjoyed reading this blog post. If you have any questions about my time on Koh Samet or my trip to Thailand in general, please feel free to email me at info@browneyedflowerchild.com, contact me via social media or leave a comment below.

A bridge too far? Narrow Water Bridge project put on hold
Posted by Newry Times News
info@newrytimes.com
Community, News
Louth County Council has confirmed that the proposed cross-border Narrow Water Bridge to link Co Louth with Co Down has been put on hold after tenders received from construction companies for the project ran substantially above the allocated budget. Tenders received ranged from €26m to €40m plus VAT according to Louth County Council. The bridge across the Newry River at Narrow Water has the support of the Republic of Ireland of Ireland and Northern Ireland governments and secured funding of approximately €17.4m earlier this year by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB). The project also won approval last year from An Bord Pleanála and the Northern Ireland planning authorities. A spokesperson for Louth County Council said in a statement to Newry Times, "Having examined all of the tenders received from contractors competing to build the bridge, it is clear that their estimates of the cost of construction are considerably higher than the figures we have been working with to date. "This leaves us with a substantial funding shortfall. Our focus now is on seeing if this can be filled through any combination of additional funding and cost reductions. "While our ambition remains to see this socially and economically desirable project through to completion, the reality is that it is now effectively on hold. At this time, we want to record our appreciation for the support that we have received to date from all of the various stakeholders in both the Republic and Northern Ireland." Reacting to the news, SDLP MP Margaret Ritchie demanded a meeting with the Taoiseach over the hold up. Ritchie wants both the British and Irish Governments to provide alternative resources to ensure the delivery of the Narrow Water Bridge project. "I am disappointed by the decision of Louth County Council," Ritchie told Newry Times. "I acknowledge the fact that Louth County Council has put the project on hold whilst they pursue alternative sources of funding. Ritchie added, "Undoubtedly, this will be a blow for the local community in Warrenpoint and in the Cooley Peninsula who fought hard for the project, and knowing their determination, I know they will not allow this setback to daunt them in pursuit of the Narrow Water Bridge." Ritchie's SDLP colleague Karen McKevitt echoed her sentiments and said that although she is disappointed with today's news, she remains optimistic that alternative funding can be sourced. McKevitt said, "I believe that this is a hurdle which can be overcome. I am confident that Louth County Council will do all in its power to identify further funding for this historic project. "Indeed there has been some good news announced today by the Minister for Regional Development regarding the Bridge Order for Narrow Water. I welcome this news and hope that the granting of the order will only strengthen bids to acquire further funding. McKevitt added, "I see the Narrow Water Bridge project as the new gateway to the North, creating jobs for the construction industry, boosting communities and attracting tourists from across the world. "It is because of these potential benefits that this project already enjoys widespread support north and south of the border and they are the reason why I remain optimistic that it will be brought to fruition."

Black Lives Matter activist DeRay McKesson filed a class action lawsuit Thursday against the city of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for alleged excessive use of force by police after he and more than 100 other protesters were arrested for "simple obstruction of highway commerce" last month.
McKesson's arrest on July 9 was captured on a live-stream on Periscope after he had been protesting the police shooting death of Alton Sterling.
McKesson was released from the East Baton Rouge Parish jail the next day, and the obstruction charges against McKesson and the other 100 protesters were later dropped.
The lawsuit said it will seek damages for civil rights violations for the "unlawful mass arrests" made by the city's police without probable cause.
Some of the people arrested for highway obstruction were apprehended on sidewalks, the grass and residents' homes, the suit added.
"Defendants employed unconstitutional tactics to disturb, disrupt, infringe upon and criminalize plaintiffs and class members' constitutional rights to freedom of speech and assembly," the suit stated.
The suit specifically identifies the city of Baton Rouge, the East Baton Rouge Parish, the superintendent of the Louisiana State Police and the city's local chief of police and sheriff as the defendants of the case.
The police were also criticized in the suit for reacting in a "militarized and aggressive manner" to protesters, including threats to non-violent protesters who had guns pointed directly at them by officers.
The suit claims that plaintiffs are entitled to compensation for lost wages, bond expenses, administrative fees paid to the city and jail, court costs, and past and future lawyer fees to clear records of their arrests.
I met #AltonSterling's mother today too. We must hold the #BatonRouge police accountable.
The ACLU and local activist groups also filed a lawsuit on July 13 against the Baton Rouge Police Department following the Alton Sterling protest arrests.
The ACLU lawsuit claims "the police used excessive force, physical and verbal abuse and wrongful arrests to disperse protesters who were gathered peacefully to speak out against the police killing of Alton Sterling," the organization said in a statement.
Last week, a hearing for the ACLU case against local Baton Rouge police was postponed at the request of both parties in light of the violent ambush on Baton Rouge police officers on July 17, the Louisiana Record reported.
State Police Col. Mike Edmonson, who hadn't seen the lawsuit, told the Associated Press he believes police "exercised great restraint" in response to the protests.

A Trustworthy Portrait of an Icon
This evaluate is a part of our protection of the 2023 Sundance Movie Pageant.
The Pitch: Willie Nelson is an American authentic. Broadly thought to be one of many biggest singer-songwriters within the historical past of common music, the redheaded stranger himself has lived a life that poises him as an unimaginable documentary topic. The five-part sequence, which premiered Friday, January twentieth at this 12 months's Sundance Movie Pageant, positions itself because the "first and solely documentary" about his life, permitting him to inform his story in his personal phrases.
Willie Nelson & Household assembles a formidable assortment of parents round him to take action. This contains fellow musicians like Dolly Parton, Invoice Anderson, Brenda Lee, Jeannie Seely, Kenny Chesney, Margo Value, and Wynton Marsalis, together with historian Michael Grey and author John Spong. The documentary is rounded out by members of Willie's household, his band referenced within the title, and varied longtime staff members and confidantes.
On the Highway: Administrators Thom Zimny and Oren Moverman provide two very stacked resumes: Zimny is a Grammy and Emmy-winning artist who has directed documentaries about Bruce Springsteen, Elvis, and Johnny Money. He clearly is aware of learn how to discover the story of a musician like Nelson, particularly when becoming a member of forces with an Academy Award-nominated and Emmy Award-winning filmmaker like Moverman. The snags in Willie Nelson & Household don't a lot really feel like a case of too many cooks within the kitchen as they really feel like proof of the significance of modifying: The 2 minds behind the documentary actually gathered a wealth of testimonies, footage, images, and tales, however don't appear prepared to half with any of it.
Willie Nelson & Household may need labored higher as a movie, or might've been trimmed and condensed to 3 elements. General, the 5 episodes really feel sadly missing in focus; whereas a meandering, non-linear construction (or lack thereof) actually feels acceptable for the topic of the documentary, it doesn't make for probably the most participating materials for the viewer.
Roll Me Up and Smoke Me: We start with loads of time spent in Nelson's youth and adventurous teen years, hopping trains, inflicting bother, and worrying concerning the state of his soul all through. (Attempt to not chuckle at his frank supply of "We solely had three issues to do: combat, fuck, and throw rocks.") A few of the threads within the first two episodes tie into the tales that ultimately grew to become Nelson's iconic Redheaded Stranger album, however with no central narrative, leaping between his failed time within the Air Pressure, marital and monetary strains, and songwriting struggles feels erratic.
