The BMW i8 is one of the more recent electrical car offerings from the manufacturer, having first hit the market back in 2014. It is a two-body vehicle, coming in both a coupé and a roadster style, and the sleek vehicle is still in the midst of its first generation, though an update is likely to come within the next couple of years. It has been quite a hit in the UK, with Britain serving as the biggest market on a global basis for the range (it sold out two weeks after being launched and was followed by an incredible ten-month waiting list).
Therefore, it's more than worth our time for us to take a closer look at the BMW i8 in today's article. It is very nice to look at, feeling very futuristic and sporty, almost like a vehicle of a generation yet to come, despite it having been on the market now for five years. It also has a wide variety of options for the bodywork colours, meaning that you can pick out a version of the i8 that matches your personality, and its sleek design makes it more intimate and cosy for both the driver and for any passengers on board.
In terms of performance, the i8 is capable of many things. It can reach 75 miles purely on its electric power, and it can drive up to 330 miles before requiring a recharge, which is an outstanding figure for any electrical vehicle today, never mind when it was launched back in 2014. It is also a very light car in terms of its weight, coming in at 1.535 kg for the coupe version and around 1.600 kg for the roadster alternative. This allows it to reach maximum speeds in minimal time, and all with the emphasis on a smooth and comfortable ride.
The BMW i8 has picked up plenty of major awards during its lifespan, even dating back to when it was merely a concept at the beginning of the decade. This includes the highly-coveted Car Of The Year award from Top Gear magazine back in 2014, the year of its launch. And it remains highly-popular and strongly-lauded to this day, five years on from when it first became available to drivers. Given the ever-evolving technology within the automotive world, and the fact that the i8 was a game-changer when it first arrived on the scene, one can only wonder how potential future updates of this series will innovate and excite in equal measure, but for now, the BMW i8 is one of the absolute best electric cars that you will find.

Entries are now open for the RIDI Awards 2018 and we're sharing stories about some of our previous awards winners to inspire others to enter. We caught up with Manpower's Gary Dunford to ask him about what's happened since Manpower won the RIDI Individual Choice Award 2016.
Manpower won the RIDI Individual Choice Award 2016 after being nominated by Darren Paddick for the exemplary service you provided him with. How have things worked out since for Darren – has he found a job?
I'm really pleased to report that Darren is doing well. He has taken up a permanent role helping people who have recently become visually impaired overcome the new challenges they face.
We remain in regular contact and last May we welcomed Darren to a cricket match between Manpower and our clients against the UK Women's Blind Cricket team. He's been named to the England VI Cricket Academy and stands a good chance of representing England next year in India.
Manpower continues to learn a lot from Darren, who recently showed us around the RNIB resource centre so we could understand more about the tools and technology that benefit visually impaired people in everyday life.
What has changed at Manpower over the last twelve months in terms of growing disability confidence and getting more job opportunities for disabled people?
Manpower represents the recruitment industry as part of the Disability Confident Business Leaders Forum. We meet with government each quarter to help drive the Disability Confident scheme, while helping recruiters grow their confidence in engaging with disabled people.
Internally, we continue to drive disability awareness, and particularly encourage colleagues to focus on a person's ability, not their disability. This year we created a working group encompassing functions from HR, Sales, Operations and Marketing looking at how we practically support our colleagues and clients to bring more opportunities to disabled people.
This was also promoted through our second Manpower Blind Cricket match against the UK Womens Visually Impaired team last May. We had representatives from Microsoft, Barclaycard, First State Investments and the England & Wales Cricket Board; again the emphasis was on how much talent disabled people offer. The feedback was really positive and attendees spoke about how much their eyes had been opened to what is possible with the right mindset.
Have you helped more disabled people to get job interviews? Have they been successful?
We have been able to place more disabled people at some of our clients. However, I will leave some of those stories for the RIDI Awards in 2018! We have been developing partnerships with several organisations and look forward to strengthening these during 2018.
What have been the benefits of winning the award for Manpower?
The main benefit in winning the award was awareness. It was a fantastic opportunity for us to engage with colleagues and clients about recruiting disabled people, bringing the matter into focus with a compelling case study.
Is Manpower entering RIDI Awards 2018?
Yes, we will definitely be entering the 2018 RIDI Awards. We're exceptionally proud of what we have achieved over the past year, though we recognise there is much more still to do in this area.
What advice would you give to others thinking about entering the RIDI Awards 2018?
My advice is to just go for it. You will get lots of support from RIDI. We all need to promote and further this important agenda. It's not just the right thing to do, but as skills shortages grow, we need to help clients grow their talent pools in new ways. There are 1.2 million disabled people who want to work, but are unable to secure meaningful employment – that's a wealth of knowledge, skills and experience that is too valuable to disregard.

Part of Tech: Back on Track Series presented by
Senior Vice President, Office of the CEO - RBC
Canada's International Network and Tech-Driven Recovery
TechStrategy
Published on January 12, 2021 January 12, 2021
Canadians should tap into our international network of expats to create a more exponential impact and to gain knowledge on how to improve Canada.
The skills needed for the future economy are collaboration, communication and critical thinking.
Canadian innovations in tech must be applied to the areas of healthcare, education, financial services, arts and entertainment.
As the Canadian economy rebounds from COVID-19, Canada must double down on accepting immigrant talent; reinvest in skills program, particularly in post-secondary institutions; and help those out of work attain the digital and other skills needed to thrive when they return to their careers.
What keeps you up at night when we consider Canada as a global technology leader, especially as we are starting to lag competitively and globally?
It is such a great question, maybe the most important economic question coming out of this crisis.
If we thought we were challenged a year ago as a tech nation, surely that has become obvious through this crisis. We have to understand the different challenges of innovation and adoption, and they do go hand-in-hand.
But what we have seen critically and painfully in this crisis is the price of that laggard status, especially for small- and medium-sized enterprises that have adopted technology at a much slower pace than other Western nations, and they have paid the price for that over the last year because we moved overnight to a digital existence, all of us.
Way too many really good businesses, and I do not mean just the mom-and-pop shop at the end of your street but all sorts of service companies, too, that are terrific, but they are just not ambitious enough in the digital square.
"As we think about the recovery and the rebuild in 2021 and beyond, this has to be front-and-centre of getting all of our businesses—big and small, west, north, east, south—moving at warp speed into a digitally-enabled, global economy."
The crisis has allowed some of them to catch up, and there are government supports to do that, which is helpful. But as we think about the recovery and the rebuild in 2021 and beyond, this has to be front-and-centre of getting all of our businesses—big and small, west, north, east, south—moving at warp speed into a digitally-enabled, global economy.
That means investing in tools and technology, but it also means adopting and developing the skills and the mindsets that we need to thrive in a digital economy; one in which anyone, anywhere can be your customer and at the same time, anyone, anywhere can be your competitor.
That is the mindset that Canadians must adopt if we are going to move from twenty-second on Bloomberg's innovation scale way up to the top of the league in short order.
What talent-focused strategies should Canada adopt to aggressively grow our tech industry and digital economy?
We absolutely need to double down on immigration and on more skills-minded approaches to education at all levels, but especially in post-secondary. But we also need to better value and measure the skills beyond the tech skills that we tend to think of. Let me talk to those three points very quickly.
In immigration, we have done really well in the last few years of going after skilled immigrants and competing with the best in the world and winning. It is going to be a more competitive landscape coming out of this crisis, so we cannot assume that our lead is going to take care of itself. We need to be out there now as people are making decisions of where to move in 2021 and 2022 and make the case for Canada to be the destination for them because we are going after the world's best and brightest.
The best way we do that is by attracting international students. We get half a million international students a year to Canada, and we can probably increase that. I like to say we train them to survive four winters—surely, that makes them Canadian. As soon as they graduate, we have to make sure they stay here.
Then we need to continue to invest in skills programs in post-secondary education not just for young people but for reskilling. There are a lot of people who have been displaced by this crisis and they will not have jobs to go back to. We need to ensure that they are accessing great, world class tech-minded opportunities through our college and university system, and they can do that in place or digitally. We need to ramp that up to ensure that people, Canadians of all ages, are developing the skills that they need to thrive in the 2020s.
Thirdly, we have to focus on the skills we need to lead. We did a really important piece of research on this at RBC called Humans Wanted, and it demonstrated how the skills that are most in demand are not coding, but critical-thinking, communication and collaboration. Of course, we still need coding, but we need people who are critical thinkers, collaborators and communicators in all sectors, not just the tech sector.
"The skills that are most in demand are not coding, but critical-thinking, communication and collaboration."
One of the sectors I spent a lot of time with is agriculture, which is poised to be transformed in the 2020s through agtech. We need to ensure that every farmer, food producer and food worker in this country has tech skills and is digitally savvy to help feed the world. That is just one sector that we can help transform with more investments in technology. Healthcare, education, financial services, arts and entertainment—they can all be supercharged and need to be coming out of this crisis with those sorts of skills that are there to be developed both for Canadians now and the generations of immigrants that we hope will move here in the decade ahead.
How can Canada's existing workforce ready themselves for the transition to tech and AI-enabled employment?
Absolutely, that has to be a front-and-centre question for every Canadian. If you just think about the last eight months, has your work, your job and your ambitions changed? We have to be sure that we are not going back to 2019.
As we move to a more hybrid environment, and as we look at the economy in 2021 and beyond, it is going to look very different from anything we have known. Therefore, the skills needed to thrive, whether you are an artist or a financial services professional, a doctor or a teacher or a techy, the skills you will need to pursue your passion are going to be different. That is a great opportunity because you can pursue your passion in all sorts of new ways.
We have just published a report called 8 Ways COVID Will Transform the Economy and Disrupt Every Business, and we look at how everything is changing, how we work, how we shop, how we watch, how we share, how we travel, and the skills for all of those things need to be different. Let us use this opportunity, as we are all freshly aware of the world and how it is changing around us, to get the training to people in real time, through their devices in ways that they can develop these skills in the moment, because we cannot wait for another six months or a year to do this. When we think about the artists who are out of work and stuck at home—and I cannot wait for them to be back—they will be returning to work and sharing and creating their art using technology in new ways. How are we going to help them develop those skills now?
One area where Canada can really seize this moment is with interactive media. I spend time dealing with the gaming industry, which is really strong in Canada, in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal especially, and gaming is not some crazy thing out there that only the gaming tribe is doing. Gaming is becoming central to every piece of content in the world, and if you are a content creator—and news flash, we are all content creators—and you are not applying the principles and the skills of gaming to your content, be sure that you are going to want to a year from now when your competitors are doing that. One small example of how we can use these strengths that exist in Canada to transform other sectors is healthcare. Increasingly, gaming is being used to communicate with patients and the general public. Healthcare professionals will need the digital skills to marry with the great skills that they already have in that sector.

What is Canada's value internationally, and is it the right time for Canada to bring this value to the world?
I hope that Canadians will not just pick up my new book, Planet Canada, but share it with Canadians around the world because we can all spend more time thinking about the Canadian expats out there. This book has sparked amazing conversations that I am having with Canadians in Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia, because they are so hungry to help elevate Canada's place in the world and amplify Canada's voice in the world. I have strangers reaching out to me from all corners of the world who have heard of or read the book, and asking: How can I help? It is such a Canadian response.
This is one of our big, quiet opportunities for the decade ahead because we have shifted from a world of institutions—and institutions still matter, the United Nations still matters—but we have shifted from institutions to networks, and the world today is being shaped by networks more than institutions.
"Tech is changing the world through networks, and networks give you the power of 10."
I like to say to people the two biggest forces in the world this year, other than a little virus, have been #BlackLivesMatter, and Greta Thunberg and the climate movement. Both of those are networks. There are no organizations, there is no institution behind #BlackLivesMatter or behind what Greta is doing. They are networks of people, and it is so important in a tech conversation because tech is changing the world through networks, and networks give you the power of 10. Nothing is a one-to-one conversation or a one-to-one work project, it is one-to-ten and then to a hundred and a thousand—exponential thinking is what we like to call it.
As a country, Canada needs to think more exponentially. We have 40 million people, which is the size of a big city in China right now. We have 2 million or maybe more expats; how do we use them to exponentially access 20 million or 200 million people globally to be part of the pro-Canada network?
The Canadians out there are probably really, really good at what they do and our challenge as a country is not thinking ambitiously enough about their networks. I learned this from so many different people, but there is an extraordinary Canadian woman in Silicon Valley named Shona Brown, who was one of the early executives of Google and sits on some incredible multinational boards. She is really a quiet force in the Valley, and she does not seek publicity, so most people have never heard of her. But when I spoke to her, she said, ""I was one of the top people at Google, I am one of the most networked people on the subject of networks and tech in the world, but no one has every called me to ask how I can help Canada." I heard that from scores of Canadians who are top 10 people in their field in the world, and no one has ever called them.
"The Canadians out there are probably really, really good at what they do and our challenge as a country is not thinking ambitiously enough about their networks."
I do not say this as a criticism, I share this as an opportunity, and it is not just for government. It is for Canadian companies and it is for Canadian entrepreneurs. If you are listening to this and you are a manager in a company or an entrepreneur, and you are thinking about international opportunities, think about the Canadians wherever you go. Call the Trade Commissioner and say you need to plug into the Canadian network. Let us do it, and you can do that virtually now—so how do we accelerate this network thinking?

What is logic, and why should one study it? One must first and foremost recognize that logic–as traditionally conceived and taught–exists alongside and inseparably from the other arts of the trivium, grammar and rhetoric. But where the other two concern themselves more explicitly with the external signs of thinking, logic concerns itself primarily with the rectitude of thinking itself. It has therefore been considered in two ways, historically: as both an art and as a science. If we are to use it successfully as an art–that is, as a kind of know-how for producing determinate results in accordance with a certain plan or understanding of our own constitution–we are greatly aided by study of it as a science.
For logic can be conceived as the study of how we obtain the λόγος, the logos: best understood as the intelligibility of the real: not as it resides in the intellect, but as transcending both the intellect by which it is grasped and the cognition-independent actuality from which it is grasped, and irreducible to either. In studying logic, then, we study how we can grasp the intelligible real, in thought and in the thing, in the mind and out in the world, and in the possible connections between the two.
In the preface of his commentary on Aristotle's Posterior Analytics, Aquinas asserts: "a certain art is necessary, which is directive of the very act of reason, namely, that through which humans may proceed orderly, more easily, and without error in the act of reasoning itself"; that is, the art of logic. Logic has long been considered, therefore, a liberal art: "because it is at the core of the studies that free the mind in its own order by the disciplines proper to thought."
Kemple 2019: Introduction to Philosophical Principles: Logic, Physics, and the Human Person, 8-9.
Of course, that demands that we understand what thought is, and how it happens. Such will be at the core of our study, which is available to all Lyceum Institute members.

Home Research at Telfer Innovative Thinking M.Sc. Students Vicki Sabourin and Javier Fiallos Present Highlights of their Health Systems Internships
M.Sc. Students Vicki Sabourin and Javier Fiallos Present Highlights of their Health Systems Internships
M.Sc. Health Systems candidates Vicki Sabourin and Javier Fiallos today presented highlights from their internships at the Canadian Primary Health Care Research & Innovation Network (CPHCRIN) and the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). The three-month internship component of this program promotes linkages between research and practice and prepares students to be meaningful contributors to health systems delivery after graduation.
Fiallos contributed to a decision support project in the emergency department of CHEO, analyzing patient visits data and developing quantitative models. His aim was to identify improvements to the department's triage system and explore modifications to surgery block scheduling and nurse staffing for day surgery. "I learned that health systems generate an immense amount of data which does not necessarily contribute to process improvements unless appropriate research questions are proposed at the outset," Fiallos explained; "I deepened my understanding of how data can be put to effective use by employing the right research tools and knowledge."
For her internship, Sabourin joined CPHCRIN, where she contributed towards building a strategic plan under the supervision of Dr. William Hogg, the executive director, and Hannah Irving and Michelle Prentice, the network's coordinators. "I gained tremendous knowledge of the research development process through opportunities to review the literature and to synthesize findings that emerged from meetings with members of the Network," says Sabourin, who holds a BSc. in Nursing from the University of Ottawa. "I also learned about the importance of coordinating CBPHC research efforts through a pan-Canadian network."

Bishop Vera re: Massacre of Ayotzinapa Students
Posted on October 19, 2014 by Chiapas Support Committee
Raul Vera: Ayotzinapa / Acteal, "a message from the state to intimidate the insurgents"
Massacring social strugglers, "a habit" in Mexico: Raúl Vera
Another day of protests took place in 10 Mexican states on Saturday, October 18, demanding the presentation with life of the 43 students detained and disappeared 3 weeks ago. Marchers in Acapulco (above) also demanded the exit of Governor Angel Aguirre Rivero. Photo by Victor Camacho, La Jornada.

Mexico. "I don't believe it is organized crime; it's something else. This is a message to social strugglers; we have already seen it in many places," accuses Bishop Raúl Vera [1] –who has carried out his pastoral work in conflictive sites of Mexico, from Coahuila to Chiapas, passing through Guerrero. The massacre of normalistas [2] at the hands of Iguala's police, on September 26, has antecedents in other repressions "and the unmeasured use of force," he indicates.
Vera compares the attacks on students –that as of today have a result of six people executed, 43 disappeared and 25 injured, two of them gravely- with the governmental repression in San Salvador Atenco in 2006. "We're dealing with State terrorism tactics," he sums up.
Acteal and Iguala: cruelty
The Bishop of Saltillo, Coahuila, finds as a coinciding point between the massacre of Acteal, Chiapas, in 1997, and the extrajudicial execution and forced disappearance of students, the cruelty with which it is enacted. In Chiapas, the treatment towards the murdered Tzotziles–"chosen pacifists, almost all women and children," he clarifies"- was "Kaibilesque." [3] The priest insists that it was a message from the State to intimidate the insurgents.
Another similarity between the massacres, which provoked inter-national condemnation of the Mexican government, is in the impunity that surrounds them. In Acteal, although the paramilitaries were captured, they are now free. And in Iguala, the kidnapping in June 2013 of eight activists and the murder of three of them, belonging to Popular Unity, also remains without punishment. According to a survivor, the one directly responsible for the execution was the mayor, José Luis Abarca, now a fugitive. The criminals continue to threaten the widow of one of the murdered leaders, Sofía Mendoza, continues to be threatened, the Dominican points out.
In Acteal, Raúl Vera insists, there are testimonies that the state police and the Army concealed and took care of the actions of the paramilitaries. "We see this kind of thing in Iguala," he compares. The Bishop, as part of the organization called Decade against Impunity Network, participated in two human rights observation caravans to Guerrero, one for the Iguala case.
Vera abounds on the asesinato de Arturo Hernández Cardona, leader of the Popular Unity, which "disturbed" Abarca because he organized a "strong" demonstration to demand the application of government aid. He points out that he was captured, together with the other seven militants, and taken to empty land on the outskirts of Iguala, where the mayor threatened him and killed him, accompanied "by the criminals," he relates. The survivor's statement took place since March of this year, "and no one moved one single finger."
"In these disappearances, another type of corps now participates," the Bishop explains. And he insists that the criminals are the "arms" of the mayor. He classifies as "absurd" the versions that indicate that the normalistas could have disturbed, in any way, the criminals: "That is trying to legitimize what happened."
"We no longer know where the cartels end and organized crime begins that is in the political structure and the apparatuses of justice. We are already fed up with this frightening connivance," he laments.
[1] Raúl Vera is the Catholic Bishop of Coahuila, a state in Mexico. He is Chair of the Board of Directors of the Fray Bartolomé de las Casas Human Rights Center in Chiapas.
[2] Normalistas are students that attend rural teaching colleges, which principally train campesino and indigenous young people to be teachers in their own communities.
[3] A Kaibil is a member of one of the army's death squads in Guatemala during its long civil war. The Kaibiles used unusually brutal tactics to terrorize the civilian population.

What happened to Bill McEwan, Fleecy and the rest of the Amiga team ? Are they all gone since Amiga sold the OS rights to KMOS ? What is KMOS doing ? Going silent for over 6 months ? Why are all the Amiga sites (www.amiga.com etc) still up and running if there is no one left ? Can anyone give any highlights regarding this ?
I've been visiting Nova Design's site and noticed that their prices for brand-new ImageFX and Aladdin4d are about HALF of the normal pricing!!
11th October 2004, Minneapolis, Minnesota -- Genesi announced it had successfully completed the Avalanche Desktop Reference pre-pilot project development and had transitioned to the deployment phase with Avalanche members Jostens and Select Comfort. Jostens and Select Comfort seek to validate a Debian GNU/Linux solution running on the PowerPC™-based Pegasos system for thin client/file server use in call centers and general corporate desktop use.
While they mention that MOS is pre-installed there, I'm assuming they'll not be concentrating their efforts on MOS stuff. (that's to be expected of course from a linux distro).

Q: OpenSource 2 way video conferencing, LAN I'm looking for a 2 way IP driven Video Conferencing Application which gives me the power to rename the Application, and block users from entering other personal info or at least remove them so the users can see them, even if i need to compile it from source.

A: Here are two options - they are more or less opposites:

*

*Ekiga is fairly narrow - mostly, it does video calling and text chatting. (It requires no server, either)

*openmeetings has a lot of features. It is probably going to be more intensive to setup, but you get a lot for doing that, and it is all self-contained.

I use it often. It's very good.
From what I could gather from your original post you want the above.
"NOTE" /N(othing) after "ren"ame remove "/n" when you are sure this is what you want it to do.
| Do you really have identical existing filenames as illustrated above?
Hope this gives you some ideas howto do the job.
@INDEX is superfluous according to the file name formats in the modified OP.
| is what you want it to do.
(esp. interactively) for easier removal.
I think I've uncovered a glitch.

@name appears to work but @right is failing miserably.

(_) followed by 1 or more numeric digits (\d+) followed by .JPG (\.jpg).
Delayed expansion can then be used to manipulate the name anyway you want.
have 4 digits at the end of their names. So I tried to use @REGEXSUB.
But the REN statement does not. What's wrong with my syntax?
> > I think I've uncovered a glitch.

Why would %@lines matter it only needs to know how many lines to read in the file .. it s only done once. so theres 2343 lines it takes less than 2 seconds to get what it needs to continue.
I find having code/scripting whatever easier todo if the code itself was more descriptive than writting "comments under or above the syntax to explain what it does". I hate comments they are sometimes more confusing than the actual code. But thats just me.
I must respond with a Sorry to All..
Sorry Steve .. and anyone else who thought I was an idiot.

Google really wants to slim down the top of its Chrome browser, so much so that they're looking to axe something that seems sort of essential: the URL bar.
In early versions of Chrome 13, you can set it so all you've really got up top are tabs. If you want to see the URL or enter one, you've gotta double-click on the tab to make it appear.
It's an interesting idea, and it certainly streamlines the look of the browser. But is screen real estate that valuable? I think I'd rather be able to see the full URL of every page I visit rather than save those few pixels of vertical space. After all, the URL is often the only thing that indicates that you're on a phishing scam page rather than the real thing. It's important! What do you think?

Freedom to Fuzzy
ONE of those Facebook on this day posts popped up in my feed this week, recalling my attempts to adjust to working a Monday to Friday, nine-to-five week.
That was seven years ago and lasted little more than a year during a career diversion out of journalism and in to the travel industry.
But since first switching from a weekly newspaper to a daily – one still embroiled in the unfolding tale of the Fred and Rose West killings when OJ Simpson was about to be more than an ex-sportsman turned actor – my working life has involved weekends.
Be it covering rugby matches and the accompanying travelling and writing or producing pages for Monday's papers, Saturdays and Sundays have been normal working days.
But no longer. The past week has been the first since our newspapers took the leap from dailies to weeklies and the working week of the production department switched to a standard five-day Monday to Friday.

It's taken some getting used to, not least because we did it from a standing start after the final daily newspapers, producing the first week's product in three days.
And it's not exactly been nine to five – it's been more nine (ish) to whatever time we have finished. Which meant nine (the other one) on one night and around 4.30 on quieter ones, having wandered in nearer 10.
For people used to working weekends, taking days off in the week and considering leaving the office anything before 7pm as an early finish, it's all been a bit odd.
What do people do on Sundays? Or with full evenings? Especially once Pointless has finished.*
Our working hours are minor changes in everything that has happened in the office in the last month. And the newspaper industry.
It came as something as a shock to us all. Not so much the decision, more the timing. We knew something would change, we just weren't expecting it to be so drastic and so sudden.
And, however many times you go through this – reckon my personal redundancy process counter is up to double figures and have somehow survived them all, even the one where my hand went up for voluntary – it is not pleasant to go through uncertainty and see friends and colleagues disappear from the newsroom to uncertain futures.
Been debating what to write about the changes, the reasons behind it, the state of the newspaper industry and the reaction to the decision and a week in, not sure there's a totally coherent answer there.
There's several future posts in all that once the dust has settled and, for now, we just want to get on with it.
They're here. Very busy downstairs – even the distribution chief won't let me grab a weekly Citizen or Echo just yet pic.twitter.com/1A5HZ3hSEp
— Ben Falconer (@benfalconer) October 12, 2017
I remain a huge advocate of newspapers and their role in the world, especially when providing a much-needed scrutineer to politicians – global, national and local – and anyone in a position to make a decision which can impact on readers' lives.
And, yes, the decision to go weekly would not have been my choice. But, it is an understandable one in the current climate – however many people tell us we are wrong. Right before telling us they haven't bought the paper in years.
One thing that does need pointing out is the reaction of more than one former colleague or fellow journalists past and present who have jumped in to have their say.
Many have been measured and realistic about the state of the industry, others have criticised and repeated claims they have not bothered to check – most notably that the papers will be "thrown together" by people in another office who don't know the area and don't care.
Can assure them, we are based in the area, care about it hugely and the paper and I have never just "thrown together" any pages, article or paper in 27 years doing this. If that happens, it won't just be weekends I won't be working on newspapers.
And we'll continue to check our facts.
The sense of change and end of an era has been echoed by the A-Z journey through my iPod as it reached the end of the F section on this section from The Housemartins to Grant Lee Buffalo – track 3,794 out of 13,090 (for now).
It looked at one point as if the whole journey had ended at The Friendly Beasts by Sufjan Stevens when my iPod basically packed up.
An F word which popped up a few times in this section came in to use, but one thing about Apple is you can find solutions for most problems online – albeit with fairly liberal use of the same F word – and it popped back in to life.
It brought a decent, if not classic, selection headed up by a pair of Half Man Biscuit tracks from across the decades – the early Fuckin' 'Ell It's Fred Titmus and more recent Fun Day In The Park, complete with wonderful rhyming couplet, 'Soft play area with free bananas/Iguana Andy and his iguanas'.
There was the familiar figure of Billy Bragg (From A Vauxhall Velox), the lovely French Navy by Camera Obscura (more of them in the next entry), the sadly departed Stornoway (Fuel Up), Full Moon, Empty Heart by Belly – one of those bands rediscovered on this journey – a Jam classic (Funeral Pyre) and Frontier Psychiatrist by The Avalanches which somehow became a bit of a regular on the Trans Africa.
Continuing the apt timing, there was Friend, You've Got To Fall by Husker Du, pretty much about the time the sad news broke that drummer Grant Hart had died. Not without damaging the hearing of a generation of guitar music fans.
And there was Future Boy by Turin Brakes. There's some decisions to be made as this boy heads into the future over the next few weeks, probably starting with whether to see them live again at the end of the month.
Hopefully we'll have worked out how this new weekly stuff pans out by then.
Friend, You've Got To Fall
Frontier Psychiatrist
Full Moon, Empty Heart
Fun Day In the Park
It's not exactly no weekend work, there's been a couple of Sunday hours ahead of finishing this post. More changes in the next month or so will produce even more free time as my journey time from work changes from more than an hour to about a minute. There are plans for that spare time, but more of that to come.

A Day In The Life to Adagio For Strings
"If you ever have to go to Shoeburyness, Take the A road, the okay road that's the best, Go motorin' on the A13"
A13 Trunk Road To The Sea – Billy Bragg
IT is somehow apt this trip through my iPod starts, well, almost, with Billy Bragg's anglicising of Route 66.
It popped up at song number six at the start of a road trip of my own, albeit heading west over the Severn into Wales rather than east through Essex, as the journey got off to a flying start through the first 50 tracks.
It's not the last we will see of the Big Nose Bard of Barking – indeed, he popped up later in the opening 50 with Accident Waiting To Happen – as he has been a constant in my music collection from the days of tape decks and Walkmen, through CDs and onto digital.
One of the most consistently brilliant live performers, Tank Park Salute is able to reduce me and many other grown men to quivering wrecks.
We'll come back to why Billy is a musical and national treasure in later entries, as well as other acts who will become regular comforts throughout this musical journey – The Smiths (Accept Yourself) and Echo and The Bunnymen (a live version of Action Woman) both popped up as the first of many entries.
There was also a first appearance for Nirvana with the MTV Unplugged version of About A Girl – part of the seemingly apt soundtrack which ushered in my 40th birthday stretched out at the back of a converted bus in Seattle – and two from Bob Mould.
His Husker Dü days produced Actual Condition, while The Act We Act by Sugar provoked memories of a couple of incredibly loud, remarkably hot and fairly painful gigs.
It forms part of the unrelenting opening salvo from the wonderful Copper Blue album – followed by A Good Idea and Changes – with which they opened their set upstairs at a gig above a pub in Birmingham.
If the sweat rolling off the ceiling, the unstinting roar from a three-piece band on full throttle and the crowded moshpit was not uncomfortable enough, the twisted ankle from standing on a discarded pint glass in the middle of the moshpit provoked a tactical retreat to the rear.
Wonderful night from which my ankle soon recovered. Not sure the same can be said about my ears.
Multiple entries also come from The National, a band who have largely passed me by despite rave reviews from friends, and three from Americana legends Lambchop, whose quite beautiful Up With People is currently being played by Mark Radcliffe on 6Music. Never have so many musicians combined so well, so quietly.
There was also some songs which came out of the blue, somehow downloaded or burned into my collection but not or rarely listened to. Stumbling across them and heading off to investigate more by the bands involved is one of the key reasons for taking on this challenge – and why it could take a very long time.
Falling into this category is About Time by Art Brut, with its opening couplet "There was a time when I couldn't stomach Morrissey, I thought 'He can't have had a hard a life as me'", and Acoustic Guitar, part love letter to the instrument and part plea for it to bring back the singer's lost love.
One of the tracks from The Magnetic Fields 69 Love Songs – sorry, never managed to plough through all 69 – it also features some great lines, most notably "She always loved the sound of your strum, You made her think maybe I wasn't so dumb" and "Acoustic guitar, if you think I play hard, Well you could have belonged to Steve Earle".
But one band took over the first section of the list with multiple entries, including the first five tracks – A Day In The Life (twice), A Hard Day's Night (twice) and A Taste of Honey. They also popped up more than once later on, including three versions of Across The Universe (plus a cover of it by 10cc, who are unlikely to feature again).
Which is all a bit strange, not being the biggest Beatles fan. Any music fan needs a working knowledge of their work, hence their presence in my collection, and growing up their songs were fairly constant background music, even when too young to know who they were (had no real idea, aged 10, who John Lennon was when he was shot, but was old enough to know Imagine was, and still is, an awful song).
And yes, when they were good they were very good – A Day In The Life, Eleanor Rigby, Paperback Writer and many others – but too many of their songs come perilously close to novelty (Yellow Submarine, When I'm 64 or Lovely Rita Meter Maid for starters). And don't get me started on Hey Jude.
But there's still a lot of Beatles in my collection, which cannot be said of classical music. In fact, there is just one piece – Samuel Barber's Adagio For Strings.
It wraps up the first 50 tracks on the list and brings back great memories stood on a headland on an island in the middle of the frozen Lake Baikal as the sun set, the perfect soundtrack for a magical moment.

ELTON WON'T CUT THE RUG!
FOLLICLE-challenged Elton John has been wearing wigs for decades, but sources say the legendary singer's closest pals are begging him to ditch the rug and embrace his chrome dome! "His hairpiece looks like a wounded animal curled up on his head and died there, and it only gets worse when he sweats during concerts," dishes an insider. "It's time for him to let go of his insecurities and be honest about his baldness. It looks downright silly for a 75-year-old man to wear a rug!" The Rocket Man has admitted to experimenting with hair transplant surgery in the 1970s after his thinning blond locks deserted him — but ultimately decided an orange-tinged toupee was tops! Still, insiders gab that no matter how much his friends ride him, he'll never flip his wig. "His vanity is…
GISELE'S REVENGE PLAY!

"She'd told him he was too old to play anymore, and his decision to come back for another season was the reason she dumped him. "Now she's gotten the last laugh." The same day Brady, 45, fizzled on the field, gorgeous Gisele was working up a sweat during a run in Costa Rica with hunky 34-year-old jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim. "She's really rubbing his nose in it," the source blabs. "She wants Tom to know she thinks he did her — and their two…

AMY'S SETBACK IS BEHAR'S JOY!
AMBITIOUS TV cutthroat Joy Behar is wasting no time in going after shamed Amy Robach's vacated chair on Good Morning America, insiders exclusively tell The National ENQUIRER. "Joy is already making phone calls to producers and telling them they'd be crazy not to hire her to be the new face of the program," spills a source. Amy, 49, and her co-star T.J. Holmes, 45, were both banned from the broadcast after their shocking extramarital affair was exposed — and insiders say ABC execs apparently are looking to replace the disgraced duo.

MORALE is at an all-time low at NBC News and MSNBC after nearly 70 behind-the-scenes staffers were kicked to the curb — and the mass firing has left survivors fuming over cable host Rachel Maddow's $30 million deal, sources snitch. MSNBC hotshot Maddow, 49, hauls home the hefty annual salary — despite whittling down her on-air responsibilities at the network to one day per week after inking her 2021 deal! "Rachel has gone from being the hero of the network to the most hated," an insider dishes. "People in TV are not rich. The hosts are rich. Everyone else is struggling to pay their rents and raise their families." The staffing shuffle even ousted Noah Oppenheim, who headed NBC Universal's broadcast news division, and pushed MSNBC newsgal Hallie Jackson from her 3 p.m.…
EX-CON FELICITY FINALLY BREAKS OUT
FEARFUL actress Felicity Huffman is finally resurfacing in a new TV role more than three years after being released from prison — and friends say it's all due to her devoted husband, actor William H. Macy! The former Desperate Housewives star, 60, will hit the little screen in the ABC legal drama The Good Lawyer, a spinoff of the medical show The Good Doctor. Felicity will make her debut on a crossover episode airing March 6. Felicity was caught up in the nationwide college admissions scandal and, in 2019, she served 11 days in prison and paid a $30,000 fine. She was accused of doling out dough to alter her daughter Sophia's college admission test score. "Felicity was really embarrassed," confides a pal. "She didn't even think about returning to acting, but Bill…

The Ducati Multistrada 1200 S Touring is equipped with anything it needs to be a perfect tourer. The bike features the innovative DSS (Ducati Skyhook Suspension) active suspension system and comes with different equipment depending on specific usage. There are three configurations available: S Touring, S Pikes Peak and S Granturismo.
The bike also offers the possibility to select from a choice of four pre-set Riding Modes programmed to change the engine's performance according to your needs. These modifications are made using a series of innovative technologies such as the electronic Ride-by-Wire (RbW) system and Ducati's Traction Control system (DTC) which uses eight levels of system interaction to enhance control by reducing wheel-spin.
The Ducati Multistrada 1200 S Touring is propelled by an L-Twin cylinder, 4 valve per cylinder, Desmodromic, Dual Spark, liquid cooled engine with a displacement of 1198.4cc and maximum power output of 150 hp.
Hit the jump for more information on the Ducati Multistrada 1200 S Touring.
The new 1200 S Touring expresses the Multistrada philosophy to perfection. Thanks to the new Ducati Skyhook Suspension (DSS), the S Touring actively responds to the challenges thrown up by the terrain.
Stylish panniers, heated grips and a practical centre stand make it a bike that was born to travel.
Equipped with the active suspension system Ducati Skyhook Suspension (DSS), the S Touring is specifically designed for touring. In terms of equipment level, the focus is on comfort and functionality. Centre stand, heated grips and colour-matched 58-litre side panniers come as standard equipment.
"Enduro Riding Mode If adventure invites the Multistrada 1200 off the beaten track, it has the capability to take off-road routes in its stride. Agile and lightweight and with high, wide handlebars, serrated footrests and specially designed tyres, the Multistrada also features an Enduro Riding Mode which instantly produces a smooth 100hp engine, immediately dials-in an appropriate suspension setting on the 'S' versions and reconfigures DSS to provide appropriate active management. The DTC system is reduced to level two for minimal intervention and ABS to an off-road-oriented level one interaction for a low-grip terrain appropriate setting with "lift-up" detection deactivated and rear wheel ABS partially interrupted for controlled rear end drifting."
As a result, the Multistrada 1200 weighs in at 194 kg (S Pikes Peak version), and is the lightest road enduro, touring or sport touring bike in its market segment ever.
The touring vocation of the S Touring is enhanced by the 58-litre side panniers in matching colour that blend in stylishly with the overall Multistrada 1200 design.
The sporty character of the new Multistrada 1200 is enhanced by the black light-alloy wheel rims that are the same 10-spoke design as those of the 1199 Panigale.
During operation, the on-boputer communicates continually with the other ECUs of the vehicle over a data communication line so that the customer is informed of any malfunctions and/or system problems (battery state, alarms, errors, etc.) in real time.
STANDARD EQUIPMENT DSS Ducati Skyhook Suspension,DSP Ducati Safety Pack ( ABS 9ME + DTC),Riding modes, Power modes, RbW, 58 litre side luggage, heated grips and centre stand.
Cycleworld ----- "Skyhook is fully integrated with the selectable riding modes (Touring, Sport, Enduro and Urban), and adjusting damping and rear preload is as simple as pushing a couple of buttons. In the correct sequence. It's not too difficult even if you're jet-lagged, overhung and over 40. The latest Bosch 9ME combined ABS is likewise fully integrated with the various riding modes, and now lets the rider lock the rear wheel in Enduro mode, among other things. It uses the same control unit as the Panigale."
Motorcycle-USA ---- "At the end of the day, I was left impressed with the refined 2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200 S Touring. I enjoyed the previous version, but was left with some gripes and wants. All of those criticisms, save the ABS off default for enduro, are gone. We have posed questions about durability of Multistrada in a mixed-use environment, and we will have to answer them down the road. For now, I have nothing but positive recommendations for those riders looking for a do-it-all Motorcycle with a soul that is unmatched in its segment (or lack there of). Ducati set out to provide a better Multi by keeping all of the character and passion, but making it more controllable and safe for every rider. I would say the Italians have a resounding success on their hands, and Ducati needs to commence back patting immediately. "
Visordown ---- "With the new 2013 model, you've got all the improvements you could realistically ask for compared to the old version: the engine is more refined, the traction control less blunt and less obvious, the ABS more advanced and the small changes like the screen, progressive rear spring, comfier seat and LED lights are a definite step forward and it doesn't cost any more than the old one."
Motorcyle ---- "Ducati did an amazing job converting its 1198cc superbike V-Twin into a much more streetable mill for use in the MTS and, later, the Diavel. Its key modification was reducing valve overlap from the hi-po superbike's 41 degrees to just 11 degrees, hence its "Testastretta 11°" nomenclature. However, fueling at low revs was a mite lumpy, especially in Sport mode, so Ducati engineers made three key changes to create the new "Testastretta 11° DS." "
Telegraph ---- "While we were reeling at how its electronic control system would modify the traction control, throttle response, peak horsepower and the suspension settings, Ducati was working on the next generation – and has moved the game on once more with its Skyhook semi-active suspension. This derives from the concept of the bike's electronics trying to maintain a stable chassis in relation to an imaginary datum point in the sky above."

What Is The Proper Role Of The American Judiciary? Constitution Alive Segment Seven, Part Two.
What Is The Proper Roll Of The American Judiciary: Our Constitution is still alive and applicable today! As citizens, we all have a duty to study the Constitution, to understand where our rights and our freedoms are laid out in that document, and how our government structure should work. The reason our government continues to overstep its boundaries is that "we the people" don't know what those boundaries are! Tune in now for the second part of our three-part series!
Welcome to the intersection of faith in the culture! This is WallBuilders Live with David Barton and Rick Green. Our websites, WallBuilders.com and WallBuildersLive.com.
You can get all kinds of former programs here a while but as live that have aired over the last couple of months, you can get Good News Friday programs, and Foundations of Freedom Thursday, where we dive into the principles of the founding of America, and then all kinds of great interviews with Senators, Congressmen, and attorneys that are fighting on the front lines, and activists that are making a difference, authors and movie stars, all kinds of cool interviews, they're right there on WallBuildersLive.com by clicking on the archive section.
Now, today we're actually in the middle of a three day program, and if you missed yesterday, don't worry. You'll still love today, and then later you can go online and pick up yesterday's program.
But yesterday, today, and tomorrow we are listening to Constitution Alive, Section 7. Now, this section of Constitution Alive covers the judiciary, Article Three out of the Constitution. Constitution Alive, in its entirety, is about 12 hours of education on the Constitution. It's a quick start guide, it's it's a fast paced program where we walk you through every article, every amendment, and we teach you the original intent. We take you into David Barton's library and all those original documents, we take you out to Philadelphia, into Independence Hall where the Constitution was originally framed and where all that debate took place.
In that very room we walk you through the Constitution.
Congress Can Abolish Courts?
So there's a wealth of information in the full blown program if you want to get the DVD in the workbook and all that. It's available online at WallBuilders.com.
But today you get to listen for free, and listen to Section 7 so that you can learn about the judiciary. This is so important right now. They have overreached their authority—the federal government has overreached its authority—and there is a proper constitutional way to put them back into their proper jurisdictions. So that's what we're learning about, the proper role of the judiciary and how to rein them in and put them back into their proper jurisdiction.
So be sure to listen to yesterday's program when you get a chance to get online and download it there in the archives section for now. We're going to pick up right where we left off yesterday. This is Constitution Alive, Section 7. We're covering Article 3 the judiciary out of our Constitution.
Here's Constitution Alive.
Look right there on Article 3, Section 1, Page 28, Article 3, Section 1, "The judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish."
Congress can create a new court, and it can abolish an old court if it wants to, and we've done that before.
The "High Priests of the Law"?
So, when you hear guys talking about, "Hey, you've got a judge that's just off his rocker, you've got a judge that's just abusing his power—" and we don't have going to all the examples. Impeachment is not the only option. You could actually abolish that court. That guy is going to come to work the next day? There's no job, there is no salary, there is no secretary. There's nothing there. His court's abolished and Congress can turn around and create a new court.
Absolutely within their power. They've done it before. We ought to do it more often. The other thing they can do is they can set the agenda. They can actually take an issue away from the courts.
This one blew my mind. Nobody told me this in law school. They cannot, because you got to think about how we teach in law schools now, it's all about the judiciary being the high priest of the law. They don't want we the people to be reading the Constitution and understanding how this.
It's a mindset of, "If you've been through law school you know better than everybody else."
It's a terrible idea. We need to make sure that we the citizens—you realize the Federalist Papers, this was written for the average upstate New York farmer! Now, I'm gonna admit that's some hard slog and right there.
I have a hard time getting to the fellow's favorite this hard reading, but every time I complain about it, that's what David Barton tells me. So it was written for the average upstate New York farmer to understand what you have in our time.
That was that was the deal. They wanted everybody to understand the Constitution today.
Congress Can Regulate the Courts
I'm a lawyer, I've been through that mindset, and it's not a good thing.
It used to be, "Oh, you don't worry, you don't need a Bible. I'm going to tell you what the Bible says."
Remember, that's kind of how it was? We don't want it in the hands of the people. The Constitution is something just like the Bible, ought to be in everybody's hands. Let everybody study it for themselves.
So anyway, back to this issue of the Congress being able to take an issue away from the courts, and they do this all the time. It's usually a small issue you don't hear much about, but they can do it with big issues too.
Here it is at the bottom of page 28, "In all of the cases before mentioned, the Supreme Court shall have appellate jurisdiction both as to law in fact, with such exceptions and under such regulations as the Congress shall make."
Now, what that means is that the Congress has the power to say, "Here's an issue—" let's take Under God in the Pledge of Allegiance, "We can take that issue away from the courts and say you don't even get to review this issue anymore.
Congress is saying it's constitutional. You don't even get to decide anymore. We've actually passed it in the House twice. Haven't been able to get through the Senate, but we've passed to the house twice, and then the courts don't even get to review it anymore."
The Act of 1867
Here's an example of the court—actually the Supreme Court—acknowledging that Congress has the right to do that, and that Congress had done that. An issue that came before the court dealing with writ of habeas corpus, they said, "We can't resolve this issue. The Congress has taken away our authority on this."
The Supreme Court acknowledging that the Congress has the power to take an issue out from under their review.
The provision of the act of 1867, this is an ex parte McCardle is the case, the provision—Chief Justice Chase writing the opinion— "The provision of the Act of 1867, affirming the appellate jurisdiction of this court in cases of habeas corpus, is expressly repealed. It is hardly possible to imagine a plainer instance of positive exception," meaning the Congress is saying, "This is an exception. You cannot consider this case anymore."
"We mean in the Supreme Court are not at liberty to inquire into the motives of the legislature. We can only examine its power under the Constitution."
In other words, "All we can do is make sure that Congress does have the power to take an issue away from us when we look at the Constitution. We can only examine its power under the Constitution and the power to make exceptions to the appellate jurisdiction of this court is given by express words, those words that we just read without jurisdiction the court cannot proceed at all in any cause. It's quite clear, therefore, that this court cannot proceed to pronounce judgment in this case for it's no longer the jurisdiction of the appeal, and judicial duty is not less fittingly performed by declining ungrounded jurisdiction than in exercising firmly that which the Constitution and the laws confer." The court said, "Yes, Congress can take away issues."
Congress DOing it's Job
Why do we not do it anymore? Because Congress is scared to death to pick that fight. There's 1867. Congress is scared to pick the fight. Because you might remember a few years ago, whenever the whole Terri Schiavo thing happened?
You remember that and you had a lot of courts hearing that case state and federal courts and there was a congressman that stood up and said, "We should impeach some judges over this. They're outside the bounds of their authority."
It was a firestorm, man.
And the media went crazy, "Oh, look, that's Congress taking power away from the courts. That's Congress trying to intimidate the independence of the judiciary."
No. That's Congress doing its job.
This is David Barton with another moment from America's history. Revisionists today often assert that our Founding Fathers were atheists, or agnostic, or deists. This charge is not new. In fact, Patrick Henry was even called a deist in his lifetime.
Clearly, no one could question his patriotism. But, Henry was hurt that they would question his Christianity. Against the charges he was a deist, Patrick Henry thundered,
"Deism with me is but another name for bias and depravity. I hear it is said by the deists that I am one of their number. And, indeed, there are some good people think I am no Christian. This thought gives me much more pain than being called a traitor. Being a Christian is a character which I prize far above all this world has or can boast."
Patrick Henry was quick to refute the charge of deism and to declare his open belief as a Christian. For more information on God's hand in American history, contact WallBuilders at 1-800-8- REBUILD.
Not All Branches of Government are Equal
If Congress is wrong, then we the people will stand up and say, "No, you shouldn't have impeached that guy."
The problem is if we the people don't know that they have the power to do it, then Congress is never gonna get too far in front of the people because they know if they do that the media is going to attack them, and we're not gonna be there to back them up.
So we the people first have to understand what the proper power of the Congress has, then Congress will actually start exercising that duty. So that's myth number one. Three equal branches of government. No, they are not coequal, which branch dominates? Congress dominates.
Which branch is the weakest? Judiciary.
Which of course leaves the executive, right there in the middle. Alright.
So, myth number one, that we do not have three equal branches of government. Myth number two, federal judges hold lifetime appointments. Do they? How long they appointed for? Good behavior. So it is not a lifetime appointment, it's for good behavior.
The judges, both the Supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behavior. So we're still on Article 3, Section 1 there. That's the middle of that paragraph for Section 1.
So the question then is, "What is good behavior?"
Well, we can go to the Judiciary Act of 1802, to John Calvin's the author.
He said, "We all fully in it once understand what is good behavior in a judge. And if he acts contrary, it would be misbehavior!"
Well, that didn't help us much, did it? So he says there's a remedy, and the remedy in that case given by the Constitution is impeachment.
How Impeachment Works
So what is bad behavior, or misbehavior, and what would be a proper misbehavior for which to impeach a federal judge for?
I'll just give you some examples. Got six different clauses establishing impeachment in the Constitution. In fact, let's just look real quick. So we understand how impeachment actually works. Flipping back to Article 1, so we're going back to Congress for a moment here, in Article 1, Section 3, on page 8.
We find that the Senate is the one that will try all impeachments. So fourth paragraph from the top, on page 8.
"The Senate shall have the power to try all impeachments," and then right below that the next paragraph says, "Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than removal from office and disqualifications to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit in the US. But the party convicted shall, nevertheless, be liable and subject to indictment trial judgment and punishment according to loss."
That means if you're convicted of impeachment, if you're removed from office, and you're barred from holding a future office, it doesn't mean you're off the hook at that point, you're still gonna be liable with your local D.A. back home or wherever the crime actually occurred.
So it doesn't mean impeachment the only thing that can happen to you, it's just the only thing that Congress can do to you.
If you go full back one more page there. The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other and shall have the sole power of impeachment, so you say the House has the sole power of impeachment, and the Senate has the sole power to try all impeachments. Easiest way for me to understand this is like a grand jury and a regular jury.
The House and Senate Roles in Impeachment
The House of Representatives is like the grand jury. If you think about it, if a prosecutor said that you had done something wrong, they'd take their best case before the grand jury and say, "We think this person should be indicted and to go on trial."
You don't really get a chance to present yourself. It's all the worst stuff about you if they say, "If all of that's true, then this person needs to go on trial."
Then you go to trial with the regular jury, and the jury gets to hear all the good and all the bad, so they're gonna hear the best case against, they're gonna hear your defense, and they're going to decide guilty or not guilty.
So the grand jury is deciding whether or not you go to trial. The jury is deciding whether or not you're guilty or innocent.
Impeachment? The House is like the grand jury. They decide whether or not you should go to trial not whether or not you should be impeached.
That doesn't mean you're guilty.
Then the Senate tries the impeachment, and they decide, like a regular jury, guilt or innocence. So that's why you could be impeached, but they're not convicted. Which is what's happened several times, and President Clinton was one of those examples, so he was impeached, but he wasn't convicted by the Senate.
Hey friends! If you have been listening to WallBuilders Live for very long at all, you know how much we respect our veterans and how appreciative we are of the sacrifice they make to make our freedoms possible. One of the ways that we love to honor those veterans is to tell their stories here on WallBuilders Live. Once in awhile, we get an opportunity to interview veterans that have served on those front lines that have made incredible sacrifices have amazing stories that we want to share with the American people.
You have friends and family that also served. If you have World War II veterans in your family that you would like to have their story shared here on WallBuilders Live, please e-mail us at [email protected] Give us a brief summary of the story and we'll set up an interview. Thanks so much for sharing here on WallBuilders Live!
19 Full Impeachments in US History
So we've actually had several cases of impeachment throughout our history, 62 times there's actually been an impeachment investigation, 19 times there's been a conviction and an actual impeachment.
All 19 in judicial cases.
So that guy right there was the one I guess about, it's been about 15 years ago, his name is Alcee Hastings. He was impeached as a federal judge for taking bribes.
Then the good people of Florida said, "Well, that obviously qualifies him for Congress." He got elected to Congress. I'm thinking, "Man, whatever our qualifications for Congress and say, "Well, wait a minute, I thought if he got impeached, you're barred from running for office."
So you go back to that language, he says.
"Disqualified to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit."
So I guess being in Congress is not an office of honor.
No, I shouldn't be negative like that. We shouldn't be disrespectful.
Actually, what happened—and it's been a while since the Senate convicted on impeachment and did both remove him from office and barred them from holding any future office. It's their choice.
They can do just one, or they can do both. In the case of Alcee Hastings, they didn't do both, and so he was able to run and serve in Congress.
What are some examples of a breach of good behavior and impeachment? Here's some of the causes for impeachment throughout our history. A lot of people think today high crimes and misdemeanors means you've got to commit a really bad crime, or really bad misdemeanor.
What Qualifies as Misbehavior?
It actually means a misdemeanor or a crime at a high level, in other words one of your officials. And these guys, the founders believe you can be impeached even if it was just something that was immoral.
So it may not be illegal, but if it was immoral. So look at some of these examples. One judge issued an order contradicting an act of Congress? He's impeached. Drunkenness and private life? Impeached. Rudeness in the courtroom, profanity, judicial high handedness, etc..
So these guys understood that the court is a branch of government that you've got to hold in high esteem. You've got you've got to be able to respect who's on the bench, and therefore if they're having any "misbehavior", as they put it, then they should be impeached and you get them off the bench so that you don't have that kind of example. In fact, Chief Justice Marshall was concerned about this idea of being impeached for overruling an act of Congress.
He said, "The president doctrine seems to be that a judge giving a legal opinion contrary to the opinion of the legislature is liable to impeachment."
Yeah, I think that might be a pretty good idea sometimes these days.
Here's what handle to put it, I think that's a great word picture for us to recognize. Impeachment is a bridle in the hands of the legislature.
Think about if you got a wild stallion. It's out of control, you need that bridle to rein it in so that it can do its proper function.
Same thing with the courts.
"The Very Terror of Punishment May Deter Him"
The legislature can use impeachment to reign in the court. It's the bridle, Hamilton said, to rein in the courts and keep them in their proper place. Each branch is furnished with constitutional arms for its own effectual powers of self-defense.
Remember I said if one branch encroaches on the other, that branch has to has to push back?
They all three, according to Hamilton, have their own constitutional arms for self-defense against the other branches.
James Gerardo was a delegate to the Constitutional Convention. He was also one of our original Supreme Court Justices.
He said, "Every government requires impeachment. Every man ought to be accountable for his conduct. Impeachment will be not only the means of punishing misconduct, but it will prevent misconduct. A man in public office who knows that there's no tribunal to punish him may be ready to deviate from his duty. But if he knows there's a tribunal for that purpose, although he may be a man of no principle, the very terror of punishment will perhaps deter him."
In other words, if somebody is unaccountable, if you allow the judiciary to be unaccountable, there's nobody that's ever gonna hold him accountable what they're doing? Of course they're going to do things that they're not supposed to do, because there's nobody that's going to hold them accountable to it.
Constitution Alive!
Have you ever wanted to learn more about the United States Constitution but just felt like, man, the classes are boring or it's just that old language from 200 years ago or I don't know where to start? People want to know. But, it gets frustrating because you don't know where to look for truth about the Constitution either.
Well, we've got a special program for you available now called Constitution Alive! with David Barton and Rick Green. It's actually a teaching done on the Constitution at Independence Hall in the very room where the Constitution was framed. We take you both to Philadelphia, the Cradle of Liberty and Independence Hall and to the WallBuilders' library where David Barton brings the history to life to teach the original intent of our Founding Fathers.
We call it the QuickStart guide to the Constitution because in just a few hours through these videos you will learn the Citizen's Guide to America's Constitution. You'll learn what you need to do to help save our Constitutional Republic. It's fun! It's entertaining! And, it's going to inspire you to do your part to preserve freedom for future generations. It's called Constitution Alive with David Barton and Rick Green. You can find out more information on our website now at WallBuilders.com.
Why Accountability Matters
Even if they're a bad person, if they know some guys go hold them accountable, they're there they're likely to not do the bad thing because they don't want to be caught and punished for it.
So we need to be using these constitutional arms that Congress was given.
Myth number two: Federal judges do not hold lifetime appointments, they are appointed for good behavior, and these guys gave Congress certain constitutional arms to use. They ought to use them more often.
How many members of Congress does it take to bring that up to the Senate?
"No person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two thirds. So on the House you just need a simple majority."
So 218 would be enough. And then on the Senate side to convict, you're going to have to have two thirds which would be 67.
We don't we don't have judges appointed for life.
Two more myths.
Myth number three: The primary responsibility of the judiciary is to protect the minority from the majority.
In fact, the Supreme Court says, on their website, the purpose of the Bill of Rights is to protect the minority from the majority.
I'm sorry, I kind of thought that Bill of Rights was for everybody? Then it applied to all of us.
Sometimes I'm in the minority, sometimes I'm the majority, but I don't think my rights under the Bill of Rights change.
Myth: The Supreme Court Exists to Protect the Minority
I'm a country bumpkin, I come up here to the Northeast, I'm in the minority as a country boy. If my race or my religion puts me in the minority in a particular way, that doesn't change my rights under the Bill of Rights, it doesn't change the power of the government versus my individual rights, so it's a bad idea to think that the Bill of Rights is only to protect the minority from the majority.
But that's often what we hear, and it's often the reason for a lot of the Supreme Court decisions. The heckler's veto, the idea of allowing the individual or a small group to force their opinion on the majority because we're somehow protecting their rights? It's a bad idea. It creates bad law.
Washington and Jefferson, two totally different political parties, one's a federalist, one's an anti-federalist, but they totally agreed on this idea: the fundamental principle of our Constitution requires that the will of the majority shall prevail.
If you get away from that, you're gonna start getting bad law.
Lots of examples of anti majoritarianism. You take gay marriage. Seventy two percent are against it in America. Yet we keep having it forced on us by the courts. You take praying in school, eighty two percent of Americans say they want it.
Yet the courts keep siding with the minority, teaching both evolution and intelligent design, sixty eight percent of Americans say to do that, yet the courts keep preventing us from being able to present both sides.
Abortion. 70 percent of Americans want some sort of restrictions on abortions, always having all kinds of overturning by the court because they side with the minority over the majority.
All People SHould be Equal Under the Law
Ten Commandments hanging in the schools? 76 percent of Americans say do it. Courts keep overruling it because they're siding with the minority.
Under God in the Pledge? 90 percent, and it was Robert Kennedy that said, "You're always going to have 20 percent against everything."
Well, in this case we've got 90 percent for it. And yet the courts still often say no to that ask the Ninth Circuit, of course, and out there on the left coast as fortunately Supreme Court said, "You've got that one wrong," and didn't give them jurisdiction on that one. But anyway, it's just a bad idea to think that the minority should have that, that the Bill of Rights is there to protect them, or that the judiciary is there to protect a minority over the majority, it means what we should do is protect everybody's rights. Everybody should have equal protection under the law.
That means if I have a different view than the rest of you, I shouldn't be able to force my views on you. You can't force your view on me, but that doesn't mean that I can stop you from expressing your view. It means that you can't make me be a part of that. You can't make me believe like you are, or actually participate in what you're doing.
We're out of time for today folks we're gonna pick up where we left off today.
Tomorrow we'll get the conclusion of this particular section out of Constitution Alive at Section 7, which covers the judiciary there in Article 3.
Be Sure to Tune in Tomorrow for the Conclusion!
So be sure to tune in tomorrow.
If, for some reason, you tuned in in the middle of the program today this is a review of the judiciary and how to put the judiciary back into its proper constitutional box. As citizens, we the people are beginning to understand what the original intent of the Constitution was, where we've gone wrong, and how to get back to that original intent and get our system working well once again.
That's what Constitutional Alive is all about. We call it the quick start guide to the Constitution.
We've got a quick start guide here to walk through the entire Constitution and figure out how to get it plugged back in, and get it working correctly. So if you joined us in the middle of the program today and you missed yesterday, it's available on our website right now.
