Assemblyman Hawley speaks against reduction of farm laborer overtime
posted by Press Release in Steve Hawley, agriculture, labor, politics, news, batavia.
Press Relase:
Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,C,I-Batavia) spoke Wednesday during the Farm Laborers Wage Board's hearing on a proposed reduction of the farm laborer overtime threshold, speaking passionately against the proposed reduction. During his testimony, Hawley described in detail why such a reduction would be perilous to the existence of farms throughout New York state and why the proposal would be harmful to the farm workers its proponents intended for it to help.
"Farms cannot operate on a less than 60-hour work week, and the failure to recognize that
fact will lead to the loss of our beloved family farms and all the jobs they provide," said Hawley.

A caller to dispatch reports that a group of juveniles on North Spruce Street in the area of North Street were taking down Biden political signs and replacing them with Trump signs.
They are riding bicycles and skateboards. The caller says a neighbor is one of the people whose sign was replaced.
City police responded to the area but with "negative results" -- the youths left.
UPDATE 1:30 p.m.: A caller to dispatch reports a group of kids on bicycles are in the area of Chase Park and Elm Street "with a large amount of election signs." An officer is out with the juveniles now.

Democrats come together to 'meet the candidates,' say they're energized, ready for 2020 campaigns
posted by Howard B. Owens in politics, batavia, moon java, 61st senate district, video.
Local Democrats were pleased, elated, really, with the turnout Thursday night at Moon Java for a Meet the Candidates event.
Nate McMurray, running for the NY-27 in the anticipated April 29 special election, and three candidates vying for the nomination for the 61st State Senate District in the June Democratic primary were on hand for the event.
Moon Java was filled to capacity to hear from the candidates.
Micheal Plitt, chairman of the Genesee County Democratic Committee, said local Democrats have a record number of volunteers signed up for this campaign season.
"I think the blue wave will continue," Plitt said.
NYS Sen. Rob Ortt issues statement about the vital need to 'defend President Trump's agenda'

A statement from Bronze Star recipient and New York State Senator Rob Ortt:
"It is vital that we continue to have a strong, conservative voice representing the residents of New York's 27th Congressional District and elect a candidate who will defend President Trump's agenda," Ortt said. "I am the only candidate in this race who has proven that they are willing to do both.
"It is time that we send a battle-tested patriot to Washington who will stand up for our district, stand up to the Party of Impeachment, and push back against the radical socialists running our nation's Democrat Party."

Tonight's emergency meeting of the GC Women's Republican Club will grapple with lack of support
posted by Billie Owens in politics, news, GC Women's Republican Club, notify.
When the Genesee County Women's Republican Club convenes its emergency meeting tonight to discuss its anemic body politic, Melissa Haacke will seek guidance and direction, input and feedback.
The chairwoman and other members of the board need to know what the 65 dues-paying members (at least on paper) want to see happen this year. Are there changes that ought to be made? What can be done to boost participation? Do you know what the club's purpose is?
It's aim is to encourage candidates to run for office; help them get endorsed; and support their candidacy for office.
But that is getting harder to do.
The notice sent out last week about the 6:30 meeting at Oakfield's Community & Government Center cited low attendance at last year's spring breakfast and the summer cancellation of the Lucky Numbers basket raffle fundraiser at T.F. Brown's because of lack of interest.
"It is becoming more and more difficult to continue this Club with little to no participation or support," the notice said.
Haacke knows that problem is not uncommon for volunteer groups, particularly with people's tight schedules, regardless of whether the groups are focused on partisan politics, civic or religious purposes, sports or hobbies.
"We've had the same five people, with one or two migrating in or out for the last 10 years," Haacke said, an untenable track.
The echo chamber and self-interest bubble perpetuated and fostered by social media is perhaps part of waning real-world participation in many groups, she acknowleged.
"People are at one end of the spectrum or the other," Haacke said.
And fewer young people are taught about the virtues of volunteerism, she said, and many equate volunteering with punishment: wrongdoers are often given community service in lieu of a harsher penalty.
The irony is that Genesee County is solidly red territory in a blue state, and the GC Women's Republican Party is having trouble pulling off a breakfast when Democrats and Progressives say it's "standing room only" at their events these days.
Asked if Trump's treatment of women or his language concerning them is causing Republican females to go missing in action, Haacke said unequivocally and 100-percent "No. Trump is not a factor."
Any awkwardness in his oratory is because he's "not a politician" but "he tells the truth."
"If we want to get to where we need to be as a Christian and God-loving people, we need to support Trump and the Republican candidates," Haacke said.
Naturally, Erica O'Donnell, chairwoman of the City of Batavia Democratic Committee, sees things differently, but she does sympathize.
"Political or not, all organizations struggle with participation at times, with the busy lives we lead," O'Donnell said. "But we decided to come out of the closet and do more community involvement -- be in parades, go to community events, be at Picnic in the Park (for the 4th of July).
"We are the party of inclusion and acceptance. We should have a big tent."
O'Donnell said that women's participation increased in Democratic and Progessive politics here and elsewhere after Bernie Sanders lost the primary and after the 2016 election.
And O'Donnell thinks Trump is not resonating with a growing number of Republican women, so they are sitting on the sidelines.
"The way he treats women, the way he talks about them," O'Donnell said. "I don't want my daughters exposed to that."

McMurray responds to Collins' 'desperate' TV campaign ads
posted by Billie Owens in NY27, politics, Nate McMurray, chris collins, news.
Nate McMurray, the Democratic and Working Families Party Candidate for New York's 27th Congressional District, today responded to the launch of Chris Collins' so-called campaign comprised solely of TV attack ads:
"Right out of the gate, Chris Collins' so-called campaign has nothing to do with Chris Collins. There's a reason: there's nothing to brag about while their guy is out on bail. This ad is desperate, it's untruthful, and no one's going to fall for it. I can't believe they thought it was a good idea to start with this.
"I won't shy away from the fact that I speak a foreign language, that I've been on the front lines of the trade war that's redefining our economy, and that I've been fighting FOR American workers. Do you think I'd have the support of the local and national labor community if I was going to ship jobs to Asia? Of course not.
"I'll use every experience I've got to fight for this district. No can play me in Warsaw or Washington, Beijing or Batavia.
"If this is the best they've got, bring it."
In 2003, Nate was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship to study the development of democracy in the Constitutional Court of Korea. He worked to represent U.S. farmers and U.S. manufacturers ensuring that they had an opportunity to feature their products in Korean stories, helping create jobs back here at home.
About Nate McMurray

8 Republicans in a Room
posted by Dave Olsen in libertarians, republians, politics.
It seems that about once a week recently, whenever I look at this site, I see that a group of 8 Republican County Chairmen is getting together for a meeting. Like they are the Justice League or the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, or the Gang of Seven from the US Senate a few years back. We all know the reason for these meetings: to find a loophole or a way to manipulate election law to replace Representative Chris Collins on the ballot after the time has passed to do so. It is uncomfortable and time-consuming I'm sure, but I also believe they discuss other political topics. One, in particular, has to be the Governor's race. Their candidate is not doing very well in the polls and supposedly the Republicans want nothing less than the defeat of Andrew Cuomo.
We Libertarians constantly hear from Republicans that having our candidate in the race will take votes from their guy and ensure a Cuomo re-election. I'm writing today to tell everyone why that's a false argument. We heard the same thing in 2014 and in 2010. If the Libertarian vote totals were close to the margin of victory Andrew Cuomo won by, it would be true. However in 2010 Cuomo received 2,910.876 votes, Republican Carl Paladino got 1,547,857. In 2014 Cuomo got 2,069,480 and Republican Astorino – 1,536,879. We did not have nearly the votes to make the difference either time. The Republican vote total didn't change very much, the Democrats lost over 800,000 votes and you still weren't close, and those votes didn't go to anyone else, far fewer voters voted. Let's face it, the Republican won't win. Those are all the votes he will get.
Larry Sharpe, the Libertarian candidate cannot win by just getting Libertarians to vote for him. There are simply not enough of us. He will need Republicans and Independents and unhappy Democrats voting for him to win. Currently, Cuomo is polling at around 48 – 50% statewide, the Republican Mr. Molinaro is at around 25-28%. These are close to the numbers at this point in the cycle from 2014. I predict a similar ending again this year. Paladino was a bit higher, around 38 – 40% in 2006, probably because of his outsider and business background, which is why he got more votes too. Larry Sharpe is also an outsider with an entrepreneurial background, while Molinaro is a lifelong career politician. It's hard to know where Larry is in the polls, because they won't include him, but he is gaining recognition and momentum daily. Is Molinaro?
Here's what I propose the 8 Republican County Chairmen discuss when they next meet to address the debacle of running a Congressman for re-election knowing there was a chance he could be indicted, and now have to finagle a way to dump him. They could avoid a loss again in November by collectively asking the certain loser Molinaro to suspend his campaign and asking the Republican Party Faithful to vote for Larry Sharpe. Mr. Sharpe surely has a better chance of winning than does Molinaro. It's obvious. These esteemed gentlemen are going to ask the same Republican Faithful to either accept an absurd process to replace Collins on the ballot or ask them to vote for him and trust that he will resign if he wins and then appoint someone whom they would have voted for. That's quite an assumption, in my humble opinion.
They could do something bold, something for the people of Western New York. Change NY's political landscape. Lord knows it needs it. Larry Sharpe can win, but he needs more exposure and better name recognition. The cachet of 8 Republican County Chairmen's endorsement would do that. History will show them as having acted to save NY when we needed them.
Endorse Larry Sharpe.
Come On, Do It.

Hawley denounces 'Cuomo's use of more taxpayer-funded resources for illegals'
posted by Billie Owens in Steve Hawley, illegal immigrants, politics, news.
Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,C,I-Batavia) today condemned the Cuomo administration's recent announcement that more taxpayer-funded resources across a wide array of departments will be available to illegal immigrants in New York state.
The announcement is another staple in Gov. Cuomo's recent history of sparring with the federal government on a host of policy issues.
"While I believe it is always the best policy to keep families together, I am concerned about continual use of taxpayer-funded resources being dolled out by the Cuomo administration to individuals here illegally," Hawley said.
"Instead of state leaders engaging in useless political quarreling and grandstanding we should be using those resources to better empower Child Protective Services and the Department of Social Services to protect the needy and less fortunate children that have already suffered in our state."
Gov. Cuomo has recently called himself "undocumented" in recent weeks and boasted about the success of his signature Liberty Defense Project, a multimillion dollar taxpayer-funded program, signed into law last year, which offers legal defense and counsel for illegals facing deportation.
"Our state agencies and departments are already working at full capacity to help law-abiding citizens and to think Gov. Cuomo is pushing them to the wayside to help illegals is deeply regrettable," Hawley continued.
"We need to end the billions of dollars in unnecessary expenses forced upon local governments so agencies working at the local level can realize more resources to care for our children. The priorities of this administration are extremely out of control and continue to endanger middle-class New York by the day."
Hawley says Cuomo mandate is 'outlandish' -- gov't employees must help ex-felons register to vote on state time
posted by Billie Owens in cuomo, Steve Hawley, politics, Executive Order 181.
Photo: A garbage bin outside a parole office filled with discarded voter registration forms that were given to parolees by parole officers.
Submitted photo and information from Assemblyman Steve Hawley.
According to information obtained by Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,C,I-Batavia), a memo has been issued directing all department parole officers to begin presenting newly pardoned felons with voter registration forms, help them complete the process of registering to vote, and help them locate the local Board of Elections during the course of their taxpayer-funded duties.
It is from Acting Commissioner Anthony Annucci of New York State Corrections and Community Supervision, a department under Gov. Cuomo.
The three-page memo, dated May 22, was circulated to all bureau chiefs, all chiefs of the Parole Violation Unit, all senior parole officers, and all parole revocation specialists. CC'd on the memo were executive, associate and assistant commissioners, the director of Internal Operations, regional directors, assistant regional directors, the director of Executive Clemency and the deputy chief of the Parole Violation Unit.
Executive Order 181 "Restoring the Right to Vote for Parolees" states in part "…the Parole Officer must also provide the recipient (of the pardon certificate) with the NYS Voter Registration Form and the NYS Voting Rights form…The Parole Officer must be prepared to assist the parolee with filling out the registration form and the Parole Officer is responsible for providing information regarding the location of the local Board of Elections."
It says this "requires high priority attention..." and at the bottom of the memo is this: "PLEASE NOTE: This is a priority initiative and needs to be completed as soon as possible."
"This is the most outlandish abuse of power and taxpayer-funded resources I've witnessed in my time as a legislator," Hawley said. "Gov. Cuomo is using state employees as campaign workers to register recently paroled felons to vote. Absolutely outrageous."
The memo dictates detailed instructions for corrections employees on how to execute pardons and help parolees register to vote and does not specify that this be done outside the purview of their official, taxpayer-funded duties.
"This governor continues to use our money as his money and there seems to be no bound to how autocratic his tenure has become," Hawley continued. "It's very possible that there is added pressure on Parole Officers to hit some sort of 'quota' on registrations ahead of the governor's upcoming gubernatorial primary."
Hawley again pushes for legislation to provide greater accountability in Albany
posted by Billie Owens in politics, Steve Hawley, news.
As the result of years of inaction by the Cuomo administration to clean up Albany's widespread bid-rigging and pay-to-play paradigm, Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,C,I-Batavia) is making a late push for legislation that would provide greater accountability, transparency and safeguarding into the state's economic development spending.
"New York no longer offers fair opportunity for the best, brightest and hardest working, as state leaders only offer opportunities and favoritism to whoever can satisfy their itching palm," Hawley said.
Following a press conference held by Assembly Minority Leader Brian M. Kolb (R,C,I,Ref-Canandaigua), Hawley and a host of his Assembly Republican colleagues are blasting the state's corrupt programs like START-UP NY and the illegal I Love NY signs and arguing that strict auditing, deadlines and oversight must accompany any further spending in these initiatives.
"It has become abundantly clear in New York that in order to do business with the state, you have to know someone, be politically connected or make a large campaign contribution," Hawley continued.
"This is taxpayer money that belongs to our hardworking families, and I am calling for an immediate cease, audit and analysis of all state economic development spending to ensure that state leaders are playing by the rules."
Assemblyman Hawley represents the 139th District, which consists of Genesee, Orleans and parts of Monroe County. For more information, please visit Assemblyman Hawley's official website.
GC Libertarian Party to hold convention at T.F. Brown's on Monday
posted by Billie Owens in politics, genesee county libertarian party, news, batavia.
From Dave Olsen, chairman of the Genesee County Libertarian Party:
The 2018 GCLP convention will be Monday June 4, at 6:30 p.m.; we will meet in the side room at T.F. Brown's Restaurant, 214 Main St.
There are a couple things of note for you to think about between now and then.
We will be electing a new Chairperson for sure. I shall be resigning as soon as the next chair is elected.
We will be electing or re-electing the Vice-Chair. The Secretary position is also up for election. Jim Rosenbeck has served in that capacity in addition to his duties as Vice-Chair of the LPNY for three years. He has now been elected as the LPNY Chair and would rather someone else take over the duties of Secretary. That is understandable as state chair is a time-consuming post. Many thanks to Jim for all his hard work and dedication to the GCLP and all the great things to come.
Please consider if you would be willing to serve the GCLP as Chair, Vice Chair or Secretary. In my five years with this party, the board has always worked together as a team and I expect that would continue. You will have lots of help. Please let me know if you are interested, so I can nominate you.
LPNY chairman Jim Rosenbeck has asked that each county chapter designate a county coordinator for petitioning efforts which will begin on July 10 for statewide offices. Fifteen thousand signatures are the minimum required to get our Governor candidate on the ballot. We usually like to see at least 50-percent more to reduce the chance of a challenge knocking us off the ballot.
Mark Glogowski, the local NY Assembly candidate, will need a minimum of 3,000 signatures; he wants to double that. The more petition signatures gotten by volunteers reduces the amount of paid petitioners the LPNY will need to hire. Finances are slim and every opportunity for savings is important.
This also gives us all an opportunity to continue the outreach the GCLP has designated as our primary mission; you get to talk to registered voters about Larry Sharpe and Mark Glogowski along with the other statewide candidates and spread the message of liberty!
Serving as the GCLP coordinator will not be overly time consuming. You will be the liaison to volunteers who may need guidance or tips on how to petition. We will provide the resources you need. The petitioners will submit their completed petitions to you for a quality review and then you would mail them to our master petitioning operation in Albany. Petitions will be electronically distributed by the LPNY communications division. If this interests you, please let me know.
Our convention speakers will be: Andrew Hollister, Libertarian for New York Lt. Governor, Mark Glogowski, Libertarian for NY Assembly, and James Rosenbeck, Libertarian Party of New York Chairman.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone again on Monday! Bring a friend, tell others.
Assemblyman Hawley: 'NYC interests kill ethics reform package'
posted by Billie Owens in Steve Hawley, politics, ethics reform, news, 139th assembly district.
A statement just issued from Assemblyman Steve Hawley:
"As the retrial of corrupt former Speaker Sheldon Silver hangs over the state, it is shocking that New York City politicians would consciously vote to block the most comprehensive ethics reform package in state history – the Public Officers Accountability Act.
"It is a grave disservice to taxpayers that Assembly leadership continues to vote down and bury legislation that may have prevented corrupt thieves like Sheldon Silver and Dean Skelos from committing crimes.
"What we need is an end to Gov. Cuomo's bid-rigging culture, term limits for legislative leaders, stronger income disclosure requirements and an end to lawmakers using campaign contributions as a golden parachute. Taxpayers deserve a more honest and faithful government."
Assemblyman Hawley represents the 139th District, which consists of Genesee, Orleans and parts of Monroe County.
Democratic leaders endorse Nate McMurray to run for Collins' seat
posted by Billie Owens in politics, NY-27, chris collins, Turn 27 Blue, Genesee County Democratic Committee.
Submitted photo and press release:
Turn 27 Blue proudly endorses Nate McMurray for Congress. For the first time in a generation, Democratic leaders, who normally endorse, have joined ranks with grassroots activists to make a strong endorsement in this year's congressional race. We believe that McMurray has what it takes to represent the people of Western New York. His impassioned and energizing campaign is already gathering the momentum and support it needs to win in November.
McMurray is an experienced businessman, dedicated public servant, and Western New York native, who believes that families should have access to quality healthcare and education, that full-time work should come with a decent paycheck, and that elected representatives should represent their constituents, not their donors.
Turn 27 Blue brings together voices from the county Democratic chairs and from many of the district's dedicated activist groups. We endorse McMurray because of his demonstrated ability to work across the aisle as Town Supervisor of deep red Grand Island (NY) and his dedication to improving the lives of hardworking Americans.
"I'm honored to receive the endorsement of this group of county Democratic Chairs and grassroots leaders. I'm confident we are going to turn the 27th District blue, and I'm eager to take this fight to Chris Collins," McMurray said, in response to the news.
Michelle Johnston Schoeneman, a resistance leader in the 27th and member of Turn 27 Blue, said "we were incredibly impressed with Nate's passion for Western New York, his platform for bringing jobs and prosperity to the area, and his ability to persuade people who have never voted for a Democrat that he's the person for the job."
Over the past several months, Turn 27 Blue has hosted public forums, meetings, and interviews with the several talented and dedicated individuals running.
"From the start, our goal was simple: identify the best candidate to beat Chris Collins," said Judith Hunter, chair of the Livingston County Democratic Committee, "and create the best possible conditions for victory in November. Each of the five announced candidates has something to offer, and we are grateful that they volunteered to serve. We are extremely proud to conclude our process by supporting Nate McMurray for the Democratic nomination."
As the candidates traversed the 27th and met residents from every county in the district, one thing was clear: "from the pending ethics investigation against him to his decision to ignore his district in favor of his wealthy donors, people were fed up with Chris Collins and his cronies," said Jeremy Zellner, chair of the Erie County Democratic Committee.
Supporters of McMurray say Collins's arrogant disregard for his constituents and his support for extreme policies that directly hurt New Yorkers has remade NY-27 into a competitive district.
Jamie Romeo, chair of the Monroe County Democratic Committee added, "we urge everyone who cares more about Western New York's economy than tax cuts for the rich, who cares more about affordable healthcare for our families than favors for donors, and who cares more about a true representative of the people than a talking head who rushes onto cable news to talk about anything but the needs of his constituents, to support Nate McMurray for Congress."

A few weeks ago, the Italian people finally broke the political framework that dates to the end of World War II. The M5S Five Stars Movement, a party without a heritage, won the most popular votes. The M5S has been on a wave of growth since winning mayoral control of some Italian cities.
Mary Shelley had four children and buried three as infants. Her last son Percy survived her and died of old age. But Frankenstein, her ultimate creation, has lived on. Her literary science fictional monster child became a myth, an aspiration, an ambition and even somewhat a reality in the past 200 years.
Good questions! If enough years go by, a man gets used to the woman of the house, muddy viper or not. But what about the opinions of the rest of the world?

Hand Forged Hinge
Picture of the Month – November 2011
This year for Thanksgiving we were invited by our friends Greg & Penny to spend the weekend with them at Ripple Creek Cabins near the Trinity Alps.
Lori and I both had busy, stressful weeks, so having down time with friends was a great way to spend the holidays. Traveling there was a breeze, the Thanksgiving travel rush in that direction meant us and a couple of other cars.
When we arrived Thursday morning the turkey was still cooking so we took a walk around the area. We came across this lovely old barn with these wonderful hand forged hinges. The color of the aged wood reminded me of the bristlecone pines, so I believe the wood is some type of pine. Great texture and color that speaks to a time when things were built by hand.

Regimes target the faithful in Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela
Freedom of religion is under attack in Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela, due to authoritarian regimes determined to control expressions of faith.
Dictators in the countries, or their proxies, have burned churches and harassed or teargassed worshipers, U.S. Agency for International Development Acting Administrator John Barsa told an August 20 discussion on religious freedom in the three countries.
"These attacks on religion are pure violations of human rights, plain and simple," Barsa told participants who joined the online event hosted by Outreach Aid to the Americas, a Miami-based group that provides assistance in South America and the Caribbean. "Every man or woman should be able to practice their God-given right to freedom of conscience."
Autocratic regimes often see strong religious communities as a threat to their oppressive rule, Barsa said.

Barsa and Mara Tekach — former chargé d'affaires at the U.S. Embassy in Cuba — cited recent examples of the repressive regimes' punitive actions and violence against religious groups.
The Cuban government tracks, attacks and harasses religious leaders, imprisoning those who openly practice their faith, Barsa said. The regime frequently restricts construction of houses of worship and forbids services in religious buildings that are not officially registered with the government.
In May, the United Nations expressed concern to the Cuban regime about its ongoing harassment of Pastor Alain Toledano Valiente and his congregation, including the destruction of their church building, acts of intimidation, travel bans, arbitrary arrests, interrogations and forced evictions.
Cuba dismissed the accusations as "political manipulation," and called the religious group "mercenaries" trying to undermine the regime, according to its July 23 response to the U.N.
While Cuba's Constitution prohibits religious discrimination, the Cuban Communist Party controls most aspects of religious life, requiring religious groups to register with the Ministry of Justice, according to the U.S. State Department's 2019 Report on International Religious Freedom.
Thank you @OutreachAid for today's discussion about religious freedom and defeating tyranny. We're here to speak truth to power, celebrate faith as a connector of people & an engine for change, and to call out these regimes for their crimes. Follow this thread to learn more! pic.twitter.com/VpcjpBSQZb

Barsa also said President Daniel Ortega's regime in Nicaragua is responsible for recent attacks on churches in that country. Arsonists targeted the Catholic Metropolitan Cathedral in Managua on July 31 after setting fire to two smaller churches days earlier.
While Nicaragua's National Police has deemed the cathedral fire accidental, religious leaders reject that cause, calling the fire a "savage and terrorist" act, according to the Associated Press.
"These are not isolated incidents, not accidents," Barsa said of the recent church fires in Nicaragua. "These are targeted terrorist attacks by Ortega-supported thugs."
Regimes in Nicaragua and Venezuela have retaliated against clergy for criticizing the government, according to the State Department's 2019 Report on International Religious Freedom. Catholic and Protestant leaders perceived as critical of the Ortega regime have faced harassment, death threats and assaults, the report says, citing religious leaders.
On May 1, 2019, in Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro's National Guard teargassed worshipers at Our Lady of Fatima Church, sending families with children and the elderly fleeing through a back door, Barsa said.
Both Barsa and Tekach said the only way to combat faith-based violence and oppression in these three countries — and in others around the world — is to continue calling attention to authoritarian regimes' brutality and targeted campaigns against the faithful.
"We will work together to raise the world's awareness," Tekach said. "We must defend against those who distort faith to support authoritarian rule."

Q: CMake linker flag end-group duplicate is removed I want to use multiple shared libraries in an executable, but the linker flag -Wl,--end-group for a child static library somehow is missing. The following is my CMakeLists.txt (executable a depends on b and d. b itself depends on c):
CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED(VERSION 2.8.12)
PROJECT(ORDER_TEST CXX C)

#######
#  a  #
#######
ADD_EXECUTABLE(a a/a.cpp a/inc/a.h)

TARGET_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(a PUBLIC a/inc)

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(a PRIVATE
    "-Wl,--no-whole-archive"
    "-Wl,--start-group"
    d
    b
    "-Wl,--end-group"
)

#######
#  b  #
#######
ADD_LIBRARY(b STATIC b/b.cpp b/inc/b.h)

TARGET_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(b PUBLIC b/inc)

TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(b PUBLIC
    "-Wl,--no-whole-archive"
    "-Wl,--start-group"
    c
    "-Wl,--end-group"
)

#######
#  c  #
#######
ADD_LIBRARY(c STATIC c/c.cpp c/inc/c.h)

TARGET_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(c PUBLIC c/inc)

#######
#  d  #
#######
ADD_LIBRARY(d STATIC d/d.cpp d/inc/d.h)

TARGET_INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(d PUBLIC d/inc)

Now, the final linker command (taken from the link.txt, reformatted) is:
/usr/bin/c++ \
    CMakeFiles/a.dir/a/a.cpp.o \
    -o a \
    -rdynamic \
    -Wl,--no-whole-archive \
    -Wl,--start-group \
    libd.a \
    libb.a \
    -Wl,--end-group \
    -Wl,--no-whole-archive \
    -Wl,--start-group \
    libc.a

The final -Wl,--end-group is missing.
To check whether CMake maybe just lost the last argument, I added some arbitrary argument (-Wl,-s) to the end of b's TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES, which appeared at the very end in the generated linker command (where I expected it to appear), but -Wl,--end-group is still nowhere in sight. (If I also use the flag -fuse-ld=gold, then the compilation aborts with an error complaining that the closing --end-group is missing.)
Question
Why is the final -Wl,--end-group missing? How can I make it reappear at the correct place (at the end, after libc.a)?

A: I believe adding linker arguments like that is not the CMake idiomatic way.
You could utilize the target property LINK_INTERFACE_MULTIPLICITY by setting to 3+ (it is 2 by default for all targets) with set_target_properties command. This instructs CMake to construct the link line so that the linker will scan through the strongly connected component of the dependence graph at least as many times as specified by the property.
However, I'm not sure why you need --start/end-group options since you don't seem to have dependency cycles in the above CMakeLists.txt. Simply laying out the dependencies for each library using target_link_libraries should work.

Blame it on the trip, not the handicapper
by Dave Little
Sometimes, there's nothing you can do.
It's been about 30 years since I was dumb enough to risk my entire weekly salary at the track. Experience (translation: losing my entire weekly salary at the track) and wisdom (translation: mortgage and household bills) taught me to change my ways. But that doesn't mean I don't like to plunk down a wager now and then.
I don't bet an overabundance of races. When you go to the track as often as I do, the temptation is there, but for me, keeping my number of bets to a minimum tends to a have a good effect on my bottom line. I like to pick my spots.
When I win, all is well. When I lose, I usually have an explanation (translation: excuse): Bad trip. Bad driver. Bad handicapper. As a last resort, I blame myself, although it's not all that often.
On last Friday's (Feb. 12) Meadowlands card, I liked Major Dancer in the 12th race. A lot. The five-year-old daughter of Art Major started the year facing better stock at Yonkers Raceway, managing a second and a fifth in three starts. At that point, trainer Nancy Johansson shipped her horse to the Big M, where, as the 2-1 public choice, she finished fifth on Feb. 5 at the non-winners of $7,500 in last five starts level in what I reasoned was a better-than-average tightening mile.
Now, she was dropping to the basement condition at the mile oval, non-winners of $5,100. It should be noted that Major Dancer had earned $5,050 in her last five, so the Big M's race office likely adjusted the condition to get the horse raced (it's normally NW$5,000), which is always something to look for. Decent form, genuine class. Tonight was the night, I concluded. My due diligence done.
Listed on the morning line at 6-1, Major Dancer, in my opinion, figured to go off at around 2-1. She'd faced better in her previous four starts and never went off at odds greater than 7-2 in any of those outings, so when she was 8-5 as the gate sped away from the field, all appeared well. But as we all know, appearances can be deceiving.
Anthony Napolitano has been driving well at the current meeting, and he eased Major Dancer into the six hole early. Unfortunately, that's the precise moment things went terribly wrong, due to no fault of the driver. Immediately, there were horses racing on the rim that prevented Major Dancer from entering the flow. Napolitano could not have anticipated this happening, so he was forced to wait and hope to get lucky. There was nothing he could do.
The outer flow remained sluggish down the backstretch and around the far turn as there are plenty of horses in this class that are talent-challenged. Just after the field straightened up with three-sixteenths of a mile to go, Major Dancer found herself ninth behind a wall of horses.
Napolitano steered his horse well from there, vacating the rail before finding a seam late in which Major Dancer could do her best work. She rallied well in the final eighth of a mile and finished third. Given how easily Let Her Rock won the race after sitting a perfect pocket trip, Major Dancer may not have emerged victorious, even if her trip was ideal. We'll never know.
I felt little consolation in knowing that sometimes at a track where "trip handicapping" applies, getting a bad trip can derail your quest to cash tickets. But this trip was worse than a six-hour layover at LaGuardia.
In search of a silver lining, I concluded I'd come right back with Major Dancer in her next start at the same level. Only after I did the math, it was clearly not possible.
By closing as well as she did to finish third, she earned $840, giving her $5,890 in earnings in her last five starts. She won't qualify for the NW$5,100 class in her next outing. Had she finished sixth, she would have. So now, unless her owners want to put her in for an optional $12,500 claiming tag (unlikely for a 5-year-old with almost $500,000 on her card), she'll have to return to face the NW$7,500 types. Opportunity lost.
Like I said. Sometimes, there's nothing you can do.
Horse to watch
CURFEW got gunned down by the pocket-sitting PINK PISTOL a week ago, but look for CURFEW to get some revenge in tonight's opener at the Big M. CURFEW had gone off stride in his previous start as the 3-5 public choice and was handled with extra care by Joe Bongiorno last Friday to prevent another miscue. Look for CURFEW to go all the way from the rail as rival PINK PISTOL has drawn the dreaded 10 hole.
In the coming weeks, keep an eye out for MONTENEGRO. She was permitted to race on the lead and finished third on a night where racing on the front end was not the path to the winner's circle. CROSBY'S CLAM BAKE is another that fits that scenario, faltering late after racing on the point.
No regular Joe
Joe Bongiorno continues his climb as one of the game's rising stars.
The 22-year-old driver scored twice at the Big M last Friday, featuring 15-1 shot Ballare Hanover. His weekly trip to Cleveland paid its usual dividends, as Bongiorno scored three times at Northfield Park on Monday (including Talledega Hanover, who paid $55.60) before registering a double on Tuesday.


Every time I fly, I always get a window seat and have a small sketch book ready. I made this painting of continuous series of the Tian Shan Mountains out of the plane window, on my way to Beijing from Urumqi, western regions in China. If you look closely at the foot of the snow covered mountains, you will see a road that looks like a line, and I saw numerous numbers of lines spreading over that road. It is a completely dried desert area, so the snow melted water or occasional rain water does not sink into the ground, so the water flow over the dried surface of the mountains and creates complicated pattern. This is a geoglyph drawn, over and over again, by Mother Nature.

Student - April 5, 2012
Get Connected with the AID
The fun of preparing for the following Annual Introduction Days (AID) can now start. Last week, the committee launched the theme for the introduction days and the registration of mentors started.
The first applications were already arriving the morning after the party in Junushoff, says AID committee member Sara de Groot. 'The system for applications is different this year compared with previous years. It used to be a case of first come, first served but we felt that wasn't fair. It also meant the pressure on the system got too much when there were a lot of people visiting our site at the same time. So now we have a lottery system. The applications are coming in much more evenly now.'
The counter currently stands at 55 pairs for the Bachelor groups and 7 for the Master groups. 'The registration for the Master's students is already going better than last year. We are collaborating with IxESN in an effort to attract more mentors.' The registration deadline for mentoring new Bachelor's students is 9am on 10 April. The registration for Master's mentors will remain open longer.
The name of the first band to be invited to perform at the AID closing party has been announced. It is The Hype, four guys who made a stir last year at 3FM Serious Talent. The theme for the next AID is Get Connected. So it is only fitting for the AID to feature social media, says Sara. 'We will have a mobile site where all students and AID participants will be able to follow the introduction days minute by minute via the Twitter feed. We will also announce changes to the programme there.' The mobile site will be launched on 31 May.

Though often overlooked in discussions of the Enlightenment, Ireland was a vibrant centre for intellectuals of many stripes. Jonathan Swift, Edmund Burke, George Berkeley, and many others made lasting contributions to literature, philosophy, politics, and science. How did the turbulent political times of eighteenth-century Ireland affect this intellectual landscape? Is there something distinctively Irish about this writing? We discuss the thought and times of this remarkable group of thinkers.

El hoyatoleslam Mohammad Yavad Bahonar (محمدجواد باهنر en persa) (Kermán, 1933-Teherán, 30 de agosto de 1981) fue un ulema duodecimano y político islamista iraní, primer ministro de Irán tras la revolución islámica del 1979, y secretario general del Partido de la República Islámica.

Bahonar nació en Kermán, al sudeste de Irán. Era un clérigo que fue encarcelado por actividades contra el gobierno del shah Mohammad Reza Pahlaví durante la década de 1960. Sin embargo, no había estado activo en la política durante mucho tiempo antes de la Revolución, pero fue coautor de libros de texto en los estudios islámicos. Fue sólo después de la revolución que se convirtió en miembro fundador del partido de la República Islámica y un miembro original del Consejo de la Revolución de Irán. Fue elegido como el Ministro de Cultura y Orientación Islámica en virtud del Primer Ministro Mohammad Alí Rayaí, en marzo de 1981, y los esfuerzos continuados para purgar las universidades iraníes de las influencias seculares, en lo que se conoce como la Revolución Cultural Islámica. Cuando Rayaí se convirtió en presidente el 4 de agosto de 1981, eligió a Bahonar como su primer ministro.

Después de que Mohammad Beheshtí fuera asesinado el 28 de junio de 1981, Bahonar se convirtió en el secretario general del partido de la República Islámica, pero no duró mucho en esa posición, ni en el puesto de Primer Ministro, pues fue asesinado después de menos de dos meses en estas oficinas, junto con Rajai y otros dirigentes del partido, cuando una bomba explotó en su oficina en Teherán. El asesino fue identificado como Masud Kashmirí, un agente de la Organización de los Muyahidines del Pueblo de Irán (también conocida por las siglas MKO, MEK y OMPI), que se había infiltrado en la oficina del Primer Ministro bajo la apariencia de un funcionario de seguridad estatal.

Philippines typhoon: How to donate to Typhoon Haiyan relief efforts
By Brendan KennedySocial Justice Reporter
Mon., Nov. 11, 2013timer2 min. read
updateArticle was updated Nov. 19, 2013
The relief effort in the Philippines is desperate and urgent. More than nine million people have been affected by Typhoon Haiyan, with 10,000 feared dead.
Several Canadian organizations are aiding the relief effort and the Canadian government said it will match every dollar donated by Canadians between Nov. 9 and Dec. 8. In order to qualify for the matching program, the donation must be made to registered Canadian charities and specifically earmarked for typhoon relief.
Here's how you can donate:
The Canadian Red Cross has been assisting its Philippine counterparts since Friday, working to meet the needs of individuals in crisis.
The Humanitarian Coalition — CARE, Oxfam, Plan Canada and Save the Children — has been working with its member agencies on the ground in the Philippines since the disaster struck.
UNICEF is working with its partners to provide life-saving essentials and emergency supplies to children affected by the typhoon.
The Canadian emergency-relief charity Global Medic has departed for the Philippines and is focusing on water-purification in the affected regions.
The hunger-alleviation charity ACF International is on the ground in the Philippines, where it is setting up portable water treatment devices to deliver clean drinking water and help prevent the outbreak of disease.
The United Nations' World Food Programme is mobilizing food supplies to reach thousands of people in need. Donations to the UN WFP will not be matched by the federal government because they are not a Canadian charity, but as part of the UN's Flash Appeal launched on Tuesday, the WFP is seeking $83 million to provide food across the country and support the Philippines government. Donate at www.wfp.org/typhoon or by texting RELIEF NOW to 45678 to donate $10 to families in need
Doctors Without Borders is sending doctors to areas affected by the storm, aiming to deliver medical services to survivors.
The Christian charity World Vision has more than 50 years experience in the Philippines, according to its website. Funds raised will go towards food, blankets, household supplies, hygiene kits, shelter and clean water.
Community and Family Services International, a Philippines-based humanitarian organization, is on the ground in the affected regions, working with U.N. agencies and the local government to deliver disaster relief and help reconstruction.
The International Fund for Animal Welfare is accepting donations that will go towards rescuing animals in the area affected by the typhoon, its website says.
Canadians looking for information on friends and relatives who may have been caught in the affected areas can call Foreign Affairs' 24-7 Emergency Watch and Response Centre at 1-800-387-3124 or 613-996-8885.

Former care home manager stole bank card of a vulnerable girl and used it to buy drugs and a car
Post reporter
A former care home manager stole the bank card of a vulnerable girl and used it to buy drugs and a car.
Rachel Quinn, 35, of Avebury Road, Wythenshawe pleaded guilty to theft at Manchester and Salford Magistrate's Court on 10th May 2018 and was sentenced to one year and four months in prison.
Quinn was a manager at are care home in Huddersfield, when in September 2016 a bank account was set up for a vulnerable girl with learning difficulties in her care.
The account was set up in order to deposit £29, 718 of disability living allowance saved by the girl's previous foster carer, and intended for the girl's future use after she turned 18 and left care.
Quinn took the card, as well as the card to a second bank account owned by the girl, and visited an ATM to ascertain which card worked for which bank account.
Thereafter, Quinn took possession of the cards, telling a colleague that she would to them to head office for safe keeping.
She had the cards in her possession when a holiday to Disneyland, Paris costing £2,050 was booked legitimately for the girl in May 2017.
Quinn quit her role with the care home shortly afterwards.
A short time later, the girl wanted to purchase a prom dress, but care home staff were unable to locate the bank cards.
Quinn was arrested and in interview admitted taking money from the account.
In a bid to kerb her own offending, she had scratched the payment chip from the card accessing the account with thousands of pounds in.
However, she said that she'd been unable to cope with a spiral of debt and had resorted to transferring funds into the second account owned by the girl, in order that she could continue spending with its un-damaged card.
She admitted using the money to buy cocaine, a car and event tickets.
A football coach who 'rewarded' his young players' man of the match performances by sexually abusing them, has been jailed
Detective constable James Grundy of GMP's Specialist Fraud Investigating Unit said: "This money was to be used to ensure a vulnerable young woman had a comfortable future when she bravely faced leaving care.
"Instead, she was betrayed by the very person who should have been looking after her.
"Quinn acted despicably and spent the money on luxury items. Shamefully, she even spent money on Class A dugs.
"We welcome the sentence handed down by the court and hope it goes to show that we will tirelessly pursue and convict offenders who think they can steal from others without consequence."

Jelena Jankovic reaches Aegon Classic final in Birmingham
From the section Tennis
http://www.bbc.com/sport/tennis/18477726
Jelena Jankovic completed two victories on Sunday to reach the Aegon Classic final in Birmingham.
The Serbian finished her quarter-final against Japan's Misaki Doi, winning 6-3 6-4, then won her semi-final against China's Zheng Jie, 6-7 (2-7) 7-5 6-1.
In the other semi-final, American Melanie Oudin defeated Russia's Ekaterina Makarova 6-4 3-6 6-2.
The final has been held over until Monday at 11:00 BST because of the bad weather in Edgbaston.
Oudin v Jankovic
Melanie Oudin, ranked 208 in the world, won her only previous meeting with Jelena Jankovic at Wimbledon in 2009.
Jankovic, winner at Birmingham in 2007, said: "It's been a really difficult day at the office but a good one. You spend 12 hours at the site just watching the rain out of the window. Even when it stopped, I still saw the rain."
Oudin, who has reached her first WTA tour final, said: "I'm pretty happy about this week. I've been 30 in the world before so it's not like I can't get back there again.
"This week, I'm really showing that, playing top-50 tennis again."
Discussing the challenge of facing former world number one Jankovic, the 20-year-old American said: "It's definitely good I've played her before. But she's a great player, she has been in the top 10 for a long time.
"I know recently she hasn't been doing that well but she's a former number one. She knows how to play good tennis."
Tickets valid for Monday, 11 June, Friday, 15 June or Saturday, 16 June - days that were severely affected by the weather - will gain free entry to the final.

Safe Travels: Careful Planning Can Take You a Long Way
Pack Your Bags
Leavin' On a Jet Plane
A Side Trip Gone Awry
When Diane, a 22-year-old graduate student at the University of Maryland, packed for a three-week study abroad course in Morocco in winter 2013, she never thought she would need her epinephrine auto-injector.
Diane figured she had long outgrown her food allergies. She hadn't had an allergic reaction to peanut since 2000 – when she was 9 years old.
Two weeks into the trip, Diane was shocked to find her body covered in hives. What caused the allergic reaction?
Could have been a noodle dish she ate for lunch at a Thai restaurant earlier that afternoon, even though the waiter assured her it was cooked without nuts. Maybe there was peanut in the chocolate gelato she ordered afterward?
It was a mystery, but she knew she needed medical help. Her lips felt tingly and she briefly felt tightening in her throat. "I could feel my whole body reacting," she said.
In the following 48 hours, Diane went to hospitals in Rabat, Casablanca and Marrakesh, once in the middle of night. She was given multiple shots of cortisone, an intravenous (IV) corticosteroid and antihistamine pills similar to Benadryl – but not epinephrine, the first line of treatment for a severe allergic reaction including hives. The doctors declined to give her epinephrine because they believed her breathing was not distressed.
Diane followed her doctor's instructions at each hospital, and her symptoms improved. A few hours later, though, the hives would return worse than before.
On the last day of the trip, Diane's hives finally cleared up. She feels fortunate that her allergic reaction did not progress into life-threatening anaphylaxis. And she regrets not packing her epinephrine auto-injector.
"I learned you should never underestimate your allergies or past allergies," Diane says. "Take every precaution necessary, even if you think it's unnecessary, and always be prepared. I'm never going to travel without my epinephrine auto-injector again."
Allergy and asthma don't have to keep you and your family from enjoying a trip, whether it's domestic or to a foreign country. Safe travel starts with sound planning.
Schedule a checkup with your primary care physician or allergist prior to a trip. You can't expect to stay healthy away from home if your asthma or allergies are acting up at home.
Discuss where you're going and what you plan to do. Is it a different climate that might affect your asthma, such as a higher altitude with cold, dry air? Is it pollen season? Smog or pollution?
Ask your doctor if there are steps you can take to prevent symptoms during your trip, and request prescription refills.
Check with your insurance provider and confirm you're covered for any health care costs incurred during travel. You may need to pay out of pocket and then file later with your insurance company. For overseas trips, consider purchasing additional temporary travel insurance.
Research the area you're visiting and map out directions to the nearest hospital or emergency care clinic. Find out the name and telephone number of a local allergist.
When traveling by plane, check Transportation Security Administration regulations for carrying medications or medical equipment. (Call 855.787.2227 or visit www.tsa.gov/travel.) Airports outside the United States sometimes have their own regulations, so check before you leave.
Andrea Jensen of Salt Lake City, Utah, and her three children each have asthma and they pack extra medication when traveling.
"Peak flow meters, nebulizers, inhalers, allergy medication – they've gone with us to Disneyland, the Grand Canyon, everywhere," she says. "Plus, my son is allergic to tree nuts and I'm allergic to seafood, so we carry our epinephrine auto-injectors."
Peak flow meters, which monitor breathing, are typically electric or battery-operated handheld units. Nebulizers, which deliver medication to lungs in fine mist, require power but are also available as battery-operated units. Purchase a power adapter separately to fit your car or use in overseas electrical outlets.
Always pack your medications in carry-on luggage and keep emergency medications you might need during the flight at hand rather than the overhead luggage bin. If you're at risk for anaphylaxis, carry two epinephrine auto-injectors because a second dose is sometimes needed. And don't forget to seek immediate medical treatment after administering epinephrine.
Keep your medications in their original containers and include a signed letter from your doctor explaining your need for medication.
Dreaming of a vacation in a faraway land? To get there, airplane travel is likely the best mode of transportation, but it presents challenges for people with food allergies, pet allergies or asthma.
Call the airline ahead of time or visit its website to find out policies for in-flight snacks and meals, pets, and allergy and anaphylaxis. Information on websites can usually be found under "Special Travel Needs."
Some airlines continue to offer in-flight bags of peanuts, exposing nut-allergic passengers to allergens. A recent international study by Matthew Greenhawt, MD, director of research at the University of Michigan Food Allergy Center, revealed that 1 out of every 10 airline passengers with nut allergies reported an allergic reaction during flights.
Nut-allergic passengers were less likely to experience a reaction if they informed the flight crew of their allergies and requested special accommodations, Greenhawt says. These measures included:
Requesting a peanut/tree nut-free meal
Avoiding airline-provided food
Requesting a peanut/tree nut-free buffer zone
Requesting other passengers not eat nut-containing products
Cleaning the tray table with a sanitary wipe
Avoiding the use of airline pillows or blankets
During a flight, you could find yourself sharing the passenger cabin with dogs, cats and other furry animals. If you have pet allergies, the presence of animal dander could cause symptoms to flare up.
Airlines allow a few pets or trained service animals to travel in the cabin each flight. Most require pets to stay in carriers under the seat in front of the passenger bringing the pet aboard – but there may be no such restriction for a trained service dog.
When you make your reservation, request to sit as far away as possible from pets; some airlines require at least 24 hours notice for a seating accommodation. Also, pre-medicating may help.
Some people with severe asthma may need oxygen to adapt to reduced air pressure in airplane cabins. Discuss with your doctor whether you'll need in-flight oxygen. Some airlines do make oxygen available to passengers – you cannot bring your own on board – but it's best to make this request at booking.
Nicole was up for an adventure.
The 21-year-old college student from Danbury, Conn., traveled with a friend to Cairo, Egypt during 2013 winter break. On a whim, they decided to take a 16-hour, overnight train ride to Aswan in the southern part of the country.
Nicole packed lightly but inadvertently left her albuterol inhaler at a youth hostel in Cairo. Her train car was filled with cigarette smoke and by the time she arrived in Aswan, she was coughing and wheezing and it hurt to breathe.
Nicole first went to a pharmacy to find out if she could get a bronchodilator inhaler over-the-counter, as is common in Egypt. She asked for the medication using its chemical name – albuterol.
"The pharmacist just gave me a blank stare," she said. "The language barrier was just too difficult and I felt like I was getting nowhere."
Nicole took a taxi to a nearby clinic where she received treatment. When the doctor handed her an inhaler, she saw the chemical name was salbutamol. Turns out that's the international name for albuterol. (The international name for levalbuterol tartrate inhalers is levosalbutamol.)
"Lesson learned – always bring your inhaler," Nicole said upon returning to the United States. "Write down the chemical and brand names of the drugs you use, especially when traveling to a foreign country, just so there's no confusion."
