The assembly process are very much the same for all three.Please see the previous posts for the left and right carb. Do the same for the center one except from the bracket at the end.
As always, click on the images for detailed view.
Add some grease on the both ends of the shaft.
Insert the seal with the lips facing outwards. Two seals, one for each end.
Insert the shaft and the butterfly valve. Secure the screws with loctite. Use new screws if they are worn.
Make sure the valve sits well and is the correct position. If not you will get trouble later on doing the synchronization ( balancing ) of the carbs.
Most of the parts got some seconds or minutes on the polishing machine before mounting, the spring as well. Looks so much better.
Parts to be mounted in the carb top.
Click on images for detailed view.
The normal position of the circlip should be in the middle, not like the one on the picture. Adjustment can be done to get a better temperature on the spark plug. Do not change the original needle with an aftermarket one if the original is OK and not worn.
You can check the tension and length of the spring according to the service manual. It's more important to check that all three spring has the same length. That will be important later on when you are doing the syncronization of the carbs.
Get a new one and proceed.
Install the diaphragm , note the position shown by the arrow.
Mount the spring and the top cover.
Test the diaphragm by pushing the piston up and hold you finger above the intake hole.
The piston should stay stable, or move very slow. Release our finger and the piston shall go down.
Click on the images for detailed view.
Install a new gasket. Some of the aftermarket kit might require some trimming of the gasket. If the original gasket is an a good shape, keep it and don't replace it.
Install the needle valve. Don't forget the washer.
Clean the needle jet before mounting using brush, carb cleaner and compressed air.
Mount the needle jet and the float.
You can easily check the function of the valve by blowing air from you lungs into the fuel inlet and hold one finger on the outlet on the other side. By lifting the float up and down you will sense if the flow turn on and off when the valve is activated.
Adjust the height of the float by measuring from top of the float and down to the chamber attaching face. Not down to the gasket as it's done on the photo. Open the Suzuki carburetors service manual for more information. Yes, you find it on my blog.
If the original needle valve is used the height should be 27,6 mm .Some of the aftermarket needle valve should be adjustet to 26mm due to a bit different design. Do the adjustment by bending the tab touching the needle valve.
Tilt the carb about 15-20 degrees to avoid the gravity to influence on the float and the needle while you do the measurement.
The correct size is 110 for the right and left carb. 107,5 for the center carb.
Screw in the pilot jet. Firm, but do not over tighten.
Fit the float chamber with the four screws.
Dip the float into boiling water. If you spot any bubbles from the float there are a leakages. Very hard to solder a bad one, buy a new float.
The needle jet require new O-ring. Always replace the old one.
Removal of the main jet.
Removal of the pilot jet.

Q: Linq to SharePoint 2013 Is it recommended to use Linq to SharePoint while developing projects for SharePoint 2013? or this became an old trend?

A: Advantages:

*

*As is mentioned often, it provides strongly typed objects, which when using we get intellisense while coding. So, our code will be more bug free unlike the CAML Queries where the result will be known only in the run time.

*One advantage not mentioned generally is that we can compare two columns (fields) of a SharePoint list in LINQ queries which is not possible in CAML queries.

*We can also use LINQ to SharePoint to generate some complex CAML queries as shown in this blog
Disadvantages:

*

*During the run time the LINQ query itself gets converted into a CAML query, which is an extra step ahead that takes more time . This can be avoided if we write a CAML query itself straight away.

*Also, we generate a DataContext class using the SPMetal.exe. This class is the one which we use in our project to generate LINQ queries. This class is not generated dynamically. So, if we do any changes in any of the lists or libraries in our site it is not reflected in the DataContext class. We have to generate a new class whenever we make any changes in the site.

*Unlike CAML queries, LINQ to SharePoint has no use if we are going to access SharePoint data in Silverlight using Client Object Model.

*Fields like Created, CreatedBy, Modified and ModifiedBy of a SharePoint list are not created by SPMetal to be used in the LINQ queries.

*LINQ to SharePoint cannot be implemented for an External list.

A: It is depend upon on your choice but on average LINQ is not recommend.
Good:
LINQ provides an easy way to manage data in SharePoint's lists without writing CAML code.
Bad:
LINQ relies on providers (or drivers) to access its data, as a developer you get many of the same problems that developers working against hardware get.
there's no way for you to control how the provider works either, unless you understand intimately how that specific provider handles queries. There's really no way to optimize a LINQ query without knowing both how the provider works and how the underlying data source works.
http://blog.furuknap.net/why-linq-to-sharepoint-is-a-bad-idea
http://www.sharepointblues.com/2010/09/08/linq-to-sharepoint-performance-pitfalls/
Conclusion:
Even though the LINQ interface to SharePoint seems lucratively easy-to-use, it should be used with caution, especially at performance-critical parts or when dealing with potentially large lists

Frankie Edgar to Conor McGregor: 'Stick around, man'
Steven Marrocco
December 14, 2015 8:45 pm ET
On two occasions this past Saturday, Frankie Edgar thought he might face down Conor McGregor. Both times, he was mistaken.
Now, the former lightweight champ and surging featherweight is waiting for good news and hoping the new champ will pick him as his next fight.
Edgar (20-4-1 MMA, 14-4-1 UFC), has a message for McGregor (19-2 MMA, 7-0 UFC) as he decides.
"Stick around, man," Edgar told MMAjunkie. "One more go at it. I know people on Twitter are saying I could beat him. Let him prove them wrong."
McGregor's star exploded this past Saturday when he knocked out Jose Aldo (25-2 MMA, 7-1 UFC) at UFC 194. One day earlier, Edgar was promised the next featherweight title shot when he knocked out three-time title contender Chad Mendes (17-4 MMA, 8-4 UFC) in less than one round at The Ultimate Fighter 22 Finale.
Edgar sat cageside for McGregor vs. Aldo at Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena. Afterward, he said a UFC official brought him to the cage door to walk into the octagon. He saw UFC President Dana White come out of the cage, and they exchanged a few words.
He said White, who'd promised the title shot, told him "we have to wait to see what Conor does."
"I walked by the steps and Dana said, 'No,'" Edgar said, adding, "Why would I come in if they don't know what's going on yet?"
Seeking more answers, Edgar showed up to UFC 194's press conference. There, he gave an interview to MMAjunkie in which he expressed uncertainty about his future despite the UFC's earlier assurance. But when White and McGregor initially didn't show up, he left.
As it turned out, McGregor held his own press conference about one half-hour later.
"I stuck around and left at the wrong time," Edgar said. "For sure, (I wish I'd stuck around). Maybe me being there would have caused him to … try to sell another fight."
McGregor definitely sold McGregor – as a potential two-division champion, pay-per-view bonanza and fight Nostradamus. But he stopped short of giving a definitive answer on his next move, deferring the matter to after the holidays.
Today, the champ's coach, John Kavanagh, gave one hint at the future, telling MMAFighting a meeting with Edgar could come in July at UFC 200 after a showdown at UFC 198 with the winner of Saturday's title rematch between champ Raphael dos Anjos and Donald Cerrone at UFC on FOX 17.
UFC 198 is targeted for April 23 at New York City's Madison Square Garden, which would suit New Jersey native Edgar very, very well. But until McGregor makes up his mind, he will keep beating the drum for his cause.
"He's not done at 145 yet, I feel," Edgar said. "He wants to do both, but I think he needs to fight me first. I'm his toughest challenge. I think a lot of people know that. I just want my opportunity."

Alexander Volkanovski warns fellow UFC champ Islam Makhachev to not underestimate his strength at UFC 284.

Baltimore Ravens agree to trade Joe Flacco to Denver Broncos, report says
Updated Feb 13, 2019 ; Posted Feb 13, 2019
PENNLIVE.COM
Joe Flacco spent more than a decade as the Ravens starting quarterback. (Sean Simmers | ssimmers@pennlive.com)
By Aaron Kasinitz | akasinitz@pennlive.com
UPDATE: More context, updated information on the trade and analysis is available here
The Baltimore Ravens have reached an agreement to trade longtime franchise quarterback Joe Flacco to the Denver Broncos, according to an ESPN report, marking the first significant maneuver of a pivotal offseason for the team.
NFL teams cannot make official moves until the new league year opens March 13 or comment on trades, but ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said a deal is done. Rapoport reported Baltimore will receive a mid-round draft pick in exchange for Flacco, though the specifics have not been made public.
Flacco had been the face of the Ravens' offense since he arrived in the league as a first-round pick in 2008, and he won the Super Bowl 47 MVP after a blistering run through the 2012 postseason. But Baltimore drafted Lamar Jackson with the No. 32 overall selection last spring and the fleet-footed rookie unseated Flacco as the starter midway through the season.
Baltimore made clear last month it was planning to move on from Flacco, 34, and build an offense around the 22-year-old Jackson — and the team found a trade partner in Denver.
After trading Flacco, the Ravens will absorb $16 million in dead money and save $10.5 million of cap space, according to OverTheCap.com. Had Flacco remained on the roster, he would've taken up $26.5 million worth of cap room.
We'll have more coverage to come.

7 Stages of Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer Posted by Crystal L.
Alzheimer's disease is a neurological issue that makes the human brain to contract (decay) and the brain cells to pass on. Roughly 5.8 million individuals in the United States age 65 and more currently [1] live with Alzheimer's sickness. Of those, 80% are 75 years of age and older. Out of the roughly 50 million individuals worldwide with dementia [2], somewhere in the range of 60% and 70% are assessed to have Alzheimer's sickness.
The early indications of the sickness include failing to remember recent occasions or discussions. As the sickness advances, an individual with Alzheimer's infection will have extreme memory failure and lose the ability to complete daily assignments. Prescriptions may incidentally improve or moderate the side effects. These medicines can in some cases assist individuals with Alzheimer's illness to amplify work and keep up autonomy for a period. Various projects and administrations can help support individuals with Alzheimer's illness and their guardians.
There is no treatment that fixes Alzheimer's sickness [3] or modifies the infection cycle in the brain. In further phases of the sickness, complications from serious loss of brain work — like lack of hydration, ailing health, or contamination — bring about death.

This is not a secret to locals, but off-the-beaten path (but still not too out of the way) is a place with a surprisingly tasty dinner for under ten euros.
But seriously: That bowl of Thai noodle soup with cooked-to-order veggies was comforting, satisfying, filling, and in Amsterdam, a complete steal at 8 euros. Plus, it's all the way on the top floor of an already gorgeous library, with beautiful students to gawk at, and an even more beautiful view of the city.

Debbie Macomber's Blossom Street and Cedar Cove series have won thousands of fans, thanks to her signature blend of heartfelt romance, delightful humor, and warm wisdom. Now, in this original short story available exclusively as an eBook, Macomber shares a sneak peek into her new series set in Cedar Cove, which features Jo Marie, before she becomes the owner of the beloved Rose Harbor Inn. From the moment Jo Marie sits next to Paul inside the Seattle Seahawks' stadium, she feels a spark. Paul's striking blue eyes and kind smile tell her that he's someone special—different from any man she's met before. When they strike up a conversation, Jo Marie and Paul realize how much they have in common, yet there's one thing keeping them from a fairy-tale ending: Paul is in the military and will ship out of Seattle within the next six weeks. As Jo Marie wonders if she should once again open her heart, she decides that, no matter the stakes, she can't forgo her chance at true love. Includes an excerpt from Debbie Macomber's Last One Home.
This is the story of a soldier of fortune and a woman in search of her missing brother.
The old adage says Marry in haste, repent at leisure. Marriage Wanted Can you marry in haste and not repent at all? As far as Nash Davenport's concerned, marriage isn't shelter from the storm, it is the storm. He's a divorce attorney, himself divorced, who believes no married couple can live up to their wedding vows. Savannah Charles, however, believes in the value--and the values--of marriage. She's a wedding planner who finds herself saying yes when Nash unexpectedly proposes. Even though it's strictly a business proposal... Laughter in the Rain Can you marry at leisure--and wish you'd done it in haste? Abby Carpenter has been involved with predictable, practical Logan Fletcher for years. One day she meets the unpredictable, impractical--and very exciting--Tate Harding. Does an everyday guy like Logan have a chance against a handsome stranger like Tate?
Christmas letters: "Katherine O'Connor (known as K.O.) adores her five-year-old twin nieces -- and objects to her sister's plans to dispense with Christmas. Zelda is following the theories of child psychologist Wynn Jeffries, author of The Free Child (and, as it happens, K.O.'s neighbor). K.O. is particularly horrified by his edict to 'bury Santa under the sleigh,' and she's out to prove that Wynn and his ideas are full of ... snow. He's not going to ruin her nieces' Christmas! Too bad the guy's so darned attractive ..." -- Provided by publisher.


Kern Economic Development Foundation's newly elected chair, Bill Rector, is no stranger to leadership roles in Kern County and he brings a broad range of experience to his new position.
Currently the executive director at Western Energy Services Training and Educating Center (WESTEC), Bill previously served as chief of police for the Bakersfield Police Department for more than five years, beginning in 2004.
Bill became the Executive Director at WESTEC in 2012. WESTEC provides short- and long-term vocational training programs in the areas of oilfield and agricultural safety, general industrial safety, corrections and law enforcement training, court report writing classes and programs that prepare people for general industry jobs. WESTEC also works with both Taft and Bakersfield College to run their classes through the WESTEC program.
Bill says his current position seemed very fitting considering the previous work he has done throughout his career in the field of training and leading.
Born and raised in Bakersfield, Bill attended Our Lady of Perpetual Help from pre-school to jr. high, then Garces Memorial High School. After graduating, he furthered his education at CSU Fresno majoring in Criminology. He then returned to Bakersfield in 1982 and joined the Bakersfield Police Department as an officer. Ironically, he was assigned to patrol his own childhood neighborhood. After returning to Bakersfield, Bill also earned his master's degree in Counseling at CSU Bakersfield.
As chief of the department that at times reached 500 people, Bill was responsible for ensuring that the integrity of Bakersfield and the BPD was intact. He assisted the department in earning the Helen Putnam Award for Excellence for their "A Life Interrupted" program that educates young people about driver and occupant responsibility. Bill also led the BPD in passing the US Department of Justice Investigation on the department when it conducted a civil rights investigation over the course of five years.
During this time, Bill was named a CSUB & Garces Hall of Honor Recipient in recognition of his contributions to the community.
After his retirement, Bill continued as an adjunct professor at Cal State Bakersfield until 2011 when he started his own consulting business, Rector and Associates.

Is there time to slow down?
As the world speeds up, how cultures define the elastic nature of time may affect our environmental health
By Rhea Wessel | Special to The Christian Science Monitor
MANNHEIM, GERMANY – At the start of a new year, with resolutions fresh on the drawing board, how we gauge time – as individuals and as a society – seems more pressing.
Yet often a culture's sense of time is so ingrained that few people consider it in a broader context until they come smack into contact with people who tick at a different speed and operate under different assumptions.
"Our beliefs about time are some of the most basic we hold in life," says Allen Bluedorn, the author of "The Human Organization of Time" and a professor of management at the University of Missouri-Columbia.
An exhibit in Mannheim, Germany, called "All the Time in the World: Of Clocks and Other Witnesses of Time," serves as a catalyst for considering the speed at which we live our lives and how this has developed over the ages.
Anthropologist Edward T. Hall defined two broad cultural approaches to time. Polychronic people, he said, are involved with many things at once, while monochronic cultures emphasize doing one thing at a time. Monochronism was a learned product of the Industrial Revolution but seems almost a natural form of time because of its prevalence in the Western world. Northern Europe and North America tend to be monochronic, while Mediterranean cultures and Latin America are polychronic.
South and Southeast Asia are considered polychronic, but Japan is monochronic, and China is somewhere in between.
Polychronic people change plans frequently, consider schedules as goals instead of imperatives, and focus on relationships with people. Monochronic cultures emphasize the opposite. People stick to the plan, emphasize promptness, and are accustomed to short-term relationships.
Professor Bluedorn's work draws on Hall's thinking and has documented cultural clashes caused by different time conceptions. In 1908, for instance, the Russian team showed up at the Olympics in London 12 days late because it was using the Julian calendar, while the Olympics were scheduled on the Gregorian. And, in at least one case, a European army missed its rendezvous on the battlefield because of different understandings of time, Bluedorn says.
Another, more contemporary, example is the story of American and Mexican bankers who discovered they both had different definitions of the workday, Bluedorn says. The Mexicans worked into the evenings when the American team wanted to go home. After several meetings were set for 7:30 p.m. and the Mexican team arrived late, the two compromised. The Americans agreed to extend their workday and the Mexicans agreed to show up on time.
Our imbedded polychronic and monochronic notions mean that many cultures that appear the same actually have deeply ingrained differences. Even among their Western capitalist counterparts, Americans have a reputation for being shallow because they form "friendships" quickly and appear to fail at enjoying the slower pleasures in life – such as long meals and walks.
Haste makes waste
Wolfgang Sachs, an expert on technology and the environment at the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Energy, and Environment in Wuppertal, Germany, cites some of those differences. He believes that the American psyche is at grave odds with the realities of the 21st century, particularly environmental realities. The endless pursuit of time-saving innovation is based on the frontier mentality, he says, which promotes the belief that there are no boundaries within time, space, or the natural world. Dr. Sachs says this attitude is outdated, and its prevalence causes Americans to ignore their own impact on the environment.
Sachs has shown through his work that as speed increases, the amount of resources used rises exponentially. A car that consumes five liters of fuel at 80 kilometers an hour will need 20 liters to go 160 km an hour.
Sachs promotes a slower lifestyle as personal choice and national public policy. We must decide how much speed is enough and learn to live with dignity within those boundaries, he argues. To that end, he has spoken out against high-speed trains in France and Germany, saying that the extra speed is not worth the cost. And he has questioned the introduction of budget airlines in Europe, which encourage people to travel farther for shorter time periods.
"The ecological crisis can be read as a clash of different time scales; the time scale of modernity collides with the time scales which govern life and the earth," Sachs says. Every year, the industrial system burns as much fossil fuel as the earth has stored up in a period of nearly one million years.
In recognition of the high costs of hurriedness, a group in the United States is organizing Take Back Your Time Day, an event on Oct. 24 designed to start a national discussion about the American time famine. John De Graaf, a primary organizer and author of "Affluenza: The All-Consuming Epidemic," says the date is set nine weeks before the end of the year to help Americans visualize how much vacation their European counterparts enjoy. On that day, the average European could take the rest of the year off.
Mr. De Graaf says his group isn't against work. Instead it is striving for a better balance between time spent working and that left over for community endeavors, families, creativity, and living light on the land.
Doing nothing as an ecological virtue
Once people have made the conscious choice to collect "time" affluence instead of material affluence, Sachs has a ready idea on how to spend that time: Do nothing.
When you do nothing, you experience the time it takes to study, care, hope, grow, have friends, or paint, Sachs argues in an essay called "Slow Is Beautiful."
If you stay home and read a book, you avoid driving somewhere and burning limited fossil fuels. You decline to buy packaged consumer goods at a store that is as well lit as a football field, and you omit a trip to a fast-food restaurant, with all its waste in production, delivery, preparation, and serving. When you're not in a rush, you're more likely to recycle, reuse, buy used, and do it yourself.
With the American focus on personal efficiency and productiveness, doing nothing can be a countercultural activity. And it may take a cultural shift for doing nothing to be seen as valuable.
• 'All the Time in the World' runs through March 30 at the State Museum for Technology and Labor in Mannheim, Germany. For more information: http://www.landesmuseum-mannheim.de/.

Q: Why is AWS CodeDeploy giving me an AccessDeniedException from an account with administrator privileges? I'm trying to create a deployment group in AWS from the CLI and I'm getting the following error:
An error occurred (AccessDeniedException) when calling the CreateDeploymentGroup
operation: User: <redacted> is not authorized to perform: iam:PassRole on
resource: arn:aws:codedeploy:us-east-1:<redacted>:<redacted>

The user account I'm doing this from has the AdministratorAccess permission, so I'm stumped as to why the account isn't authorized to do this. How can I fix this?

A: You need to setup "Trust relationships" so that CodeDeploy has the privelege to assume the role.
In this link start with step 8 and review your configuration.
CodeDeploy Trust relationships

A: I finally figured out what was going wrong: I wasn't properly specifying a service role. See here for how to do this. Once you create a service role with the needed permissions, you then need to get that role's ARN in order to reference it.

BATTLE ROYAL BETWEEN DUPONT AND ACTIVIST SHAREHOLDER TRIAN
Management | Shareholder Activism
Author: Tiziana Barghini
A battle is heating up ahead of the DuPont's annual shareholders meeting, planned for April. On one side is the management team of the Delaware-based, 200-year-old conglomerate—satisfied with the company's performance and counting on a solid base of traditionally passive investors. On the other side is Trian Fund Management, the activist asset management firm that in January appointed four members, including the firm's chief executive officer and cofounder, billionaire Nelson Peltz, to DuPont's board.
Top management at the venerable chemical group defended its current structure, saying that over the past one-, three- and five-year periods, DuPont had outperformed the market with total shareholder returns of 17%, 78% and 160%, respectively, all in excess of the S&P 500.
No matter how well DuPont has done, Trian execs believe it could do better if freed of what they consider excessive bureaucracy. "DuPont is struggling operationally," said Trian in its January statement, issued three months after it had started to publicly criticize DuPont's current structure. A less complex, leaner group could reduce the costs and boost market value, said the activist fund, suggesting to split DuPont in two—a unit focused on agriculture, nutrition and health, and another focused on industrial materials.
DuPont has a market capitalization of around $67 billion, a value that in the past would have shielded it from activist investors' pressure. In January, Trian qualified as one of the largest owners of DuPont, with some 24.4 million shares valued at around $1.8 billion.
While the two sides are flexing their muscles, the message to other public companies is resonating beyond Trian and DuPont, amid a clear resurgence, in the past few years, of activism in Europe and the US: Beating your peers and the stock market may not be enough.

By Mark L Thomas
You can't beat the BNP by taking up their racism
Some commentators have claimed that mainstream politicians being "tough" and "open" on immigration was the reason that the British National Party (BNP) had a terrible general election.
Some commentators have claimed that mainstream politicians being "tough" and "open" on immigration was the reason that the British National Party (BNP) had a terrible general election.
Every anti-fascist should cheer as the BNP reels from the major blow it suffered.
But the argument that it was a willingness to talk about people's "legitimate fears" over immigration that lanced the boil of the BNP's appeal is wrong. To accept it would prove very dangerous for the future.
The idea that there has been a conspiracy of silence over immigration is a myth.
The barrage of headlines in the media over the issue has been relentless – over asylum seekers, migrants from the European Union and elsewhere. Politicians have pandered to attacks on migrants, and competed to be the toughest in clamping down on "illegal" immigrants.
This has injected a toxic atmosphere of scapegoating into British politics. Together with vicious Islamophobia, this has played a central role in fuelling the rise of the BNP.
In the election debates, Gordon Brown promised, "When it comes to immigration I want to see a situation where we increase the number of jobs that people in Britain can take, as we lower the number of people coming into the country."
Brown's language was relatively restrained compared to some, but the message was unmistakable – immigrants are taking your job. It was Brown who launched the poisonous slogan, "British jobs for British workers" at the 2007 Labour Party conference.
Uglier
This is why he found it impossible to patiently rebut the claims of Gillian Duffy about eastern European immigrants taking jobs and overburdening services.
She was only repeating what the press and politicians have been saying so forcefully.
Some local Labour campaigns took Brown's lead as a signal to promote much uglier language. For instance, Burnley Labour Party put out a leaflet headlined, "Stop the Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants", saying they would "take our jobs". It ends "If you vote for any other party – you'll risk getting more illegal immigrants in Burnley."
Far from undermining the BNP, such arguments lend credibility to the Nazis' vile claims. All evidence from history is that racism is fuelled rather than exhausted by concessions.
After all, if immigrants cause unemployment, why not stop all future immigration? Why not start kicking out existing immigrants? Why not their descendants?
The logic is unavoidable once you accept this false argument. In reality there is no link between immigration and unemployment. Unemployment caused when capitalists don't find it profitable to employ more people.
Pandering to the BNP's arguments simply helps make them respectable, as does interviewing them endlessly on TV and radio. It offers the Nazis a route out of political isolation into the mainstream.
This explains how the BNP received over half a million votes last week. But the reason its councillors were kicked out of office across the country was that large numbers of people saw them as the Nazis that they are.
This was the central message of Unite Against Fascism's campaign. It drove a wedge between the harder core of BNP support and those holding softer racist ideas who might have been tempted to vote BNP.
It also sent an urgent message to the
anti-fascist majority. Many then decided to hold their nose and vote Labour to stop the BNP.
You can't use racism to defeat the Nazis. If you do, it feeds the poison the BNP thrives on. More attacks on immigrants would help the BNP's fortunes to revive. Far from splitting softer racists away from the Nazis, pandering to scapegoating pushes the two groups together.
The anti-immigrant rhetoric that was ramped up during the election period points to one of the key tasks for socialists. That is to confront and explode the myths about immigration.
Many activists did this during the campaign – but it will require a renewed effort in the next few months to succeed.

A Reckoning With Martin Luther King
Published in The Wall Street Journal on June 18, 2019
By Lance Morrow
How can one understand the behavior unearthed by Martin Luther King Jr. biographer David Garrow? Mr. Garrow has reported, in sometimes pornographic detail, on King's assignations with some of the more than 40 women, single and married, with whom he is said to have had affairs. In the ugliest scene—difficult to comprehend or forgive—King stands by, and even laughs and offers advice, as a fellow minister rapes a woman. King is drunk, and he brags about it.
Mr. Garrow's 7,800-word article had to be published by the British magazine Standpoint because American publications turned it down. Its revelations are from the mid-1960s, at the height of the civil-rights movement, the years before King was martyred and canonized, his name bestowed upon a national holiday and a thousand avenues and high schools.
Grown-ups understand—though children and ideologues do not—what F. Scott Fitzgerald meant when he said that "the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function." We will now live with two contradictory and irreconcilable ideas of Martin Luther King Jr.
Those close to King, including journalists covering the civil-rights movement, were aware of his womanizing and drinking—though they did not know the extent or, shall we say, the vividness of it. Some of his clerical associates, Mr. Garrow writes, joined him in group sex with women whom, using a private code, they called "parishioners."
Reporters heard rumors at the time. They talked and sometimes joked about them. But they did not write about such things, for it was a different time, with different rules regarding the privacy of public figures. Reporters didn't write about Franklin Roosevelt's wheelchair, either, or about Joseph McCarthy's drinking or John Kennedy's sex life.
When King preached to his congregation, he often spoke of himself as a sinner. Unlike some preachers, he meant it. He knew that he was a flawed man. Maybe King's conscience should be understood with the help of the novelist Graham Greene's modernist Catholic conceit that great saints may find their path to salvation by way of egregious sins. Some psychiatric speculation suggests that the drinking and the sex were the result of manic depression.
On the exalted, public side of the ledger stands the moral leader who changed America for the better and who knew the price that he would pay for it. "I may not get there with you," he said on the night before he was shot. "But it really doesn't matter with me now, because I've been to the mountaintop." That was the majestic King, the prophet. "I've looked over," he said, "and I've seen the Promised Land." He elongated the word "seen" so that it fairly quivered in the air.
Some historians and others defending King's memory have suggested that Mr. Garrow's evidence is tainted or racist. In the 1960s and later, many knew that J. Edgar Hoover's Federal Bureau of Investigation had bugged King's hotel rooms and offered the sex tapes to various media to discredit him.
Mr. Garrow's information, however, appears to be solid. He is a painstaking, widely respected historian and Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer. The material in his article is not based on hearsay (which one often finds in raw FBI files) but on newly released, vetted summaries of the FBI's audiotapes, which are themselves sealed until 2027. A 1977 report from the Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility confirmed the transcripts' accuracy.
Mr. Garrow, by the way, is a man of the left, a self-described democratic socialist. He has always been an admirer of King. Besides, skeptics will not be able to impugn his scholarship for long. Any remaining doubts should be settled eight years from now, when the public will hear King's familiar voice on the tapes. Mr. Garrow predicts that the shock will be considerable.
We are running out of paragons. I believe in Great Man theories of history—or believe, in any case, that the absence of moral leaders such as King is a catastrophe. A country without heroes becomes either savage or monstrously petty, and dull and mean. What we have today is a toxic compound of savagery and pettiness made even worse by the ruthless self-importance of identity politics. We have grown profligate in destroying heroes. I don't think we can afford to lose Dr. King.
The way out, I'd say, is grace, if anyone believes in grace anymore. It's become a rare thing in American public life. Martin Luther King was complicated, and some of his behavior was vile. Yet he gave his life—gave it knowingly—for the sake of the country, for blacks and also for whites. He deserves the grace of his country's forbearance.

Unlike the previous sonnets dealing with the rival poet, this last sonnet in the rival-poet sequence is written in the past tense and indicates that the rival is no longer a threat. Up to this point, the rival was shown gaining on the poet for the youth's affection, and the youth's encouragement of the rival poet deflated the poet's creative powers: "But when your countenance filled up his line, / Then lacked I matter; that enfeebled mine." The young man's inattention to the poet weakened the verse that the poet wrote during the youth's absence.
The image of the ship in the first two lines — "Was it the proud full sail of his great verse, / Bound for the prize of all-too-precious you" — makes clear the rival poet's real threat to the poet, but the poet argues — perhaps too staunchly, indicating more insecurity than he would have us believe — that at no time did his rival's poetic successes affect the poet's own verse: "No, neither he, nor his compeers by night / Giving him aid, my verse astonished." After completing a satirical portrait of his nemesis, the poet mocks the rival's pretensions — his solemnity, his bombast, and his delusions — and finally drops him from the sonnets' story line.
compeers by night spirit aids.

Natural gas is the world's cleanest burning fossil fuel and it has emerged as the environmentally preferred fuel of choice. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) estimates domestic natural gas demand will grow by more than 40 percent between now and 2025 - growth driven largely by new gas-fired electric generation nationwide.
Domestic natural gas production is declining and can no longer meet our needs. The solution is liquefied natural gas, or LNG, which, last year comprised only 3 percent of total natural gas use in the United States. By 2025, as much as 15 percent of U.S. gas supplies could come from LNG, according to the EIA.
Reduced natural gas supplies have led to prices that are almost double those of two years ago. The higher prices are pressuring some North American industries that depend heavily on natural gas―such as chemical firms―to relocate overseas.

Manitoba church fined $5K for holding service that broke public health order
A rural Manitoba church that held an in-person service last Sunday, which RCMP estimated was attended by well over 100 people, has been fined $5,000 for breaking a provincial public health order.
Tobias Tissen, minister at Church of God, confirmed the organization received a fine of $5,000 Tuesday.
The fines were given after the RCMP were called on Sunday to the church south of Steinbach — a southern Manitoba city that has seen a spike in COVID-19 cases in recent weeks. Last Friday, Dr. Brent Roussin said the Steinbach health district had a COVID-19 test positivity rate of 40 per cent. Premier Brian Pallister said Tuesday that's the highest rate in Canada.
The gathering at the church in the RM of Hanover violated a current Manitoba public health order that bans public gatherings with more than five people, and requires places of worship to close.
Tobias Tissen, minister at the Church of God, speaks at a rally in Steinbach on Nov. 14 that attracted over 100 people protesting against current government restrictions. (Marouane Refak/Radio-Canada)
Tissen, who himself was slapped with two fines totalling nearly $2,600 for attending a recent protest against COVID-19 restrictions and being at the Sunday religious service, said his church will likely fight the tickets in court.
'Not asking for special treatment': minister
"That ticket and the whole idea and agenda behind them fining people does not make sense to me, because it goes directly against our constitutional rights," he said.
Tissen believes the public health order — which prohibits in-person attendance at services, but allows places of worship to offer virtual services — infringes on Charter rights protecting religious freedom.
He doesn't think it's fair businesses like cannabis stores and Liquor Marts are considered essential, and can remain open, while churches have to close.
"We're not asking for special treatment. We're asking for equal treatment and when we see different places being open … liquor stores and drugs being sold," he said.
"For church to not be [considered] essential, I think that ought to get every Christian's blood boiling."
In an op-ed for the Winnipeg Free Press earlier this week, a University of Manitoba law professor said making masks mandatory or forcing the closure of non-essential businesses could violate Charter-protected rights to religious freedom, mobility, security and personal liberty.
But Karen Busby said she believes court challenges on the matter are bound to fail, because governments may restrict Charter rights as long as the violation is a "reasonable limit," and one justifiable in a free and democratic society.


Emergencies happen, but they are often easier if you are prepared. Here are a few situations you might encounter and how to handle them.
Blizzard: I have been in a blizzard with guinea pigs. Remember Hurricane Sandy? We got hit hard where I live, only it was a blizzard, and one of the worst, if not the worst, storm I can remember. We lost power which meant we lost heat. I had a couple acorns from Sewing 4 A Cause and put my pigs in a much smaller cage than is a good idea -- under normal circumstances. I wanted them to use their body heat to keep warm, and it was easier to do so in a smaller area. I added blankets and pretty much made a burrow around them.
Fire/Flood: Grab your pig(s) and get out. Because my cage is too big to carry, I have a storage tote immediately by the cage. It holds guinea pig supplies and food, but in an emergency, I could grab my pigs and put them in there and get out of the house. It serves two purposes, really, storage and organization and a way to transport more than one pig. (If you only have one pig, you could hold it. At one point I had four pigs and there was no way I could have carried all of them at once in an emergency so I implemented my storage tote plan.
Heat wave: Try to keep your pigs at a reasonable temperature. Hopefully you haven't lost power and this can be done more easily. One idea is wrapping a frozen bottle of water in a towel and putting in their cage. If you have lost power, try to get somewhere it isn't so hot.
Some things to keep in mind: if you are in an emergency situation, many people will be more accommodating to helping out than if you were going to Maui for a week. Twice I have had to ask people who I normally wouldn't ask to watch my pigs, but I asked them nearly as a last resort. I have someone who enjoys watching my guinea pig, so whenever I go out of town I drop him off there, and he feels right at home with the people there now, too.
Keep extra food on hand. This is not always the easiest to do with fresh fruit and vegetables, but certainly can be done with hay and pellets. While not recommended, in a situation where you absolutely cannot get anything with Vitamin C in the house, your pig can make do for a couple days on the usual grains. Possibly freeze some fruit in the summer in case you can't leave the house during a blizzard. Let it thaw before feeding it to him. You may even want to grow some food in flower pots in your home if you are really concerned about a blizzard or other situation of being stranded.
If possible keep a stocked guinea pig first aid kit on hand as well.
If you have to evacuate, when calling hotels, even if they say "no pets" they may make an exception for a guinea pig if you make the promise you will not let it out of the cage. It never hurts to ask. A hotel with a no pet policy made an exception for our guinea pigs during Hurricane Sandy.
If you are evacuating from a hurricane, you might need to just stick your guinea pig in a small box. Less than ideal, but it might save the pig's life. Even if you get to a shelter or other secure location that doesn't allow pets, you likely would able to find someone on Facebook who is able to "foster" your guinea pig until you can return for it. I know we all love our furry friends, and I would rather my little guy be alive and with someone else than for him to die in an emergency situation. Ideally, you would be able to get your guinea pig back quickly, though. Guinea pig people are very kind. Plus there are a number of guinea pig rescues through the United States. I have no doubt any of them would be willing to help in an emergency, as I would most animal shelters. They may not be set up for guinea pigs, but I'd rather have my little guy alive in a less than ideal situation until I could get him back.
This is a great idea from Metropolitan Guinea Pig Rescue. Just be sure and put your guinea pig in a carrier on the boogie board. The star of this video was probably thinking "Humans are crazy, but as long as there is a treat at the end, I'll do it!"
Remember, an emergency situation is just that -- you may have to do things that under normal circumstances you wouldn't do, such as I did with putting my pigs in the smallest cage I owned which really isn't big enough for even one guinea pig. But it was temporary, and the end justified keeping them in that for about 48 hours. (It got to 40 degrees inside our house. My mother and I were shivering, but our guinea pigs were nice and warm.) The bottom line is to keep yourself and your pigs safe and healthy!


Next week, from Monday 13th August we will be distributing copies of the August Leveller. In it we report on the state of Somerset County Council's finances but also the quality of the financial reporting. We will show you some of the issues that have come to light and report back on what happened when we attended the SCC audit committee meeting.
However we promised to post online the full audit report written by SCC's auditors Grant Thornton, so you can see for yourself what has been said and form your own judgement.


Margaret Douglas was Henry VIII's niece. At age fifteen, he invited her to his Christmas court. She became a lady in waiting to Queen Katherine and a close companion of Princess Mary. Attractive, intelligent, witty, and popular, Margaret shared their strong Catholicism, but when expedient she practiced Protestantism. After a long courtship, she secretly married without Henry's permission, an offense considered treasonous and punishable by beheading. Margaret was eventually forgiven and returned to court, where she developed a taste for politics and meddled in the sensitive relations between England and Scotland, where her half-brother, James V, was king. After James's death, Margaret supported her niece, Mary, Queen of Scots, and promoted a marriage between Mary and her son, Lord Darnley, a situation which Elizabeth I considered a direct threat to her throne.
Ms. Ring, a Canadian who now lives and teaches in Cambridge, England, has written a scholarly and comprehensive biography of Margaret Douglas. She paints a picture of life in the Tudor court with a great deal of interesting detail. This is a must read for any Tudorphile.

Cardell Cabinetry, which was founded in 1976, once manufactured 8,000 cabinets a day but recently produced fewer than 2,500 a day, according to a company insider.
The leftover inventory, machinery and other equipment at Cardell Cabinetry's shuttered plant on the East Side may go on the auction block early next month.
A receiver appointed to the cabinet maker, which shut down in early September, recently hired liquidation firms Hilco Industrial and Hilco Merchant Resources to handle the auction, set to start Dec. 6, according to court filings.
Hilco plans to sell Cardell's saws, dust collectors, trucks, forklifts and more, with the auction closing Dec. 13.
Hilco already updated Cardell's website to advertise a "going out of business sale," which did not appear to include the company's former showroom on North Main Avenue.
Court filings indicate notices of the auction have "generated an overwhelming response" from multiple parties, and Cardell's largest creditor, Wells Fargo Bank, estimated the sale could generate as much as $5 million in proceeds.
As of Aug. 27 — less than two weeks before Cardell laid off all of its employees — the company owed more than $16.8 million to the San Francisco-based bank, according to public records.
However, the auction may not go as planned, after three creditors from Michigan, Mississippi and North Carolina filed an involuntary petition for Chapter 7 liquidation against Cardell in bankruptcy court.
The creditors — which include a sawmill, kiln-drying company and a drawer and door manufacturer — listed combined claims of nearly $1.1 million.
In its filing, Wells Fargo stated the entry of the three creditors into the case could complicate the start of the auction. It requested a judge order the sale to continue as planned, instead of handing control to a bankruptcy trustee.
On Thursday, the judge set an emergency hearing for Nov. 19 to consider the matter.
"The cost of re-noticing the public auction sales would be substantial and wastefully duplicative, thereby needlessly reducing the net proceeds of any subsequent sales," Wells Fargo said in its filing.
"Hilco can liquidate the auction assets more economically than (Cardell) or any Chapter 7 trustee," the filing reads.
As of Friday, Cardell hadn't responded to the Chapter 7 petition or a court summons issued Thursday.
The company, one of the largest East Side employers aside from the military, announced Sept. 7 that it would shutter its plant and unwind the business — the result of mounting debts and the collapse of the housing market several years ago.
With about 900 employees, the nearly 40-year-old cabinet manufacturer sent phone messages to workers, notifying them not to show up for their next shifts.
The receiver appointed to Cardell said the company owed more than $15 million to unsecured credits, on top of at least $30 million that it borrowed from lenders. The company didn't have enough cash to meet outstanding orders for its cabinets.
On Sept. 16, a Haverford, Pa.-based law firm sued Cardell in federal court in San Antonio on behalf of Fernando Rangel, a former employee. Two other workers, Eric Dean Gibson and Esther Zamora, later joined in the litigation.
The suit seeks class-action status for the employees and their former co-workers, and claims Cardell violated federal laws that require businesses with 100 employees to notify them at least 60 days before a layoff or shutdown.
Cardell, at 3215 N. Pan Am Expressway, failed to notify the state of its intended closure until nine days after it officially shut down.
HIG Capital, a Miami, Fla.-based private equity firm, is the majority owner of Cardell.

Recipe for Success: Bake Positive Business Culture into Your DNA
Blog posted by Bright Horizons on February 1, 2020
One of the errors first-time bakers often make is sneaking a bite of unsweetened baking chocolate during the mixing process.
For those unfamiliar, unsweetened baking chocolate looks just like the good stuff, but it doesn't have any sugar. The taste is awful! but the failed expectation is worse, enough to cause one to be wary of that next chocolate bar.
People who've had the experience of positive business culture going south into unexpected territory might recognize the analogy. When a workplace philosophy founders when culture becomes unrecognizable, as has been reported in the news lately the problem isn't just unhappiness; it's keen disappointment in the failure between expectation and reality. And when that happens, employees begin to mistrust what they thought they knew, and they're likely to quickly react in other words, take their skills elsewhere.
Baking Culture into Your DNA
This is what can happen when culture is in name only when it's not backed up by ingredients like value statements that instruct on everything from hiring to diversity. Consistency of culture requires a philosophy that pivots with the organization. In workplaces that do, market or economy can change, but foundation won't.
Accenture's Julie Wilkes uses the term, "baked into the DNA" to describe her own organization. The company's made a name for itself as a uniquely supportive workplace, and as a result has earned spots on best workplace lists as well as of companies most admired.
And that starts with an unwavering commitment to culture that lives everywhere, from the company's HR portal to its investor letters. Julie's own role at the company North American Wellness Lead, focused on helping people have great careers and great lives is itself a statement of values. Equally important, Accenture's culture is built on a platform that moves with the workforce. In other words, that enables Julie to assess what people need today and then approach leaders with requests.
Leaders then don't have to be sold on the kinds of trailblazing response programs (milk delivery for new mothers; exceptional leave policies to name just two) that have kept the company in the news because the culture is in effect written into the charter.
Bottom Lines Built on Culture
Such philosophies have substantial upside. Giving people solid expectations about a job supports a company through challenging times and flush. It also ensures that people across a dispersed workplace have a consistent experience.
This is particularly important now when employees have made it clear that company bests job in pecking order when it comes to employment choices. Employees today report they choose positions for organization and culture versus title and reports. That connection has been shown to have considerable benefits in people who are significantly more productive and less likely to consider jumping ship. Research in fact says people in these so-named dream companies are nearly 200% less likely to leave their jobs.
But it only works if culture is consistent. That this is true can be illustrated by companies that have seen opportunity in abandoning their principals and as a result made the kind of news nobody covets - the kind reporting mass exoduses and vocally unhappy former employees.
But the flipside is equal and opposite. When an organization consistently delivers on its values; when it's willing to pivot with the workforce and live up to the workplaces people sign employment contracts to experience, expectation and reality are in synch. And the reality of that positive culture leaves a great taste for everyone.
