Principled US Rep Schakowsky opposes Netanyahu speech

An Israel Supporter Who Won't be at the Prime Minister's Speech
Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky explains why she cannot support or attend the speech planned by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to an unofficial joint session of the U.S. House and U.S. Senate

WASHINGTON, DC/February 25, 2015 – "After much thought, I have made the decision not to attend Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's March 3 scheduled address before a joint session of Congress, while still hoping it will either be postponed to a more appropriate date or delivered in a closed session.
As a Jew, support for Israel is in my DNA. Throughout my nine terms in the U.S. House, I have advocated that Congress and the Administration stand with Israel in a bi-partisan way to protect Israel's security and very right to exist. I strongly agree with both the Prime Minister of Israel and the President of the United States that Iran can never be allowed to possess a nuclear weapon.
That is why I feel particularly anguished that the ill-advised invitation from Republican House Speaker John Boehner has managed to threaten, in my view, both the security of Israel and the historic bi-partisan support in the Congress.
Much has been made of the ham-handed politics: inviting the Prime Minister to speak two weeks before his election and failing to consult with either the President or House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. As much as I agree with those critics, I am more concerned about two lasting and serious consequences that could result from the Prime Minister's actions.
First is the scuttling of the delicate negotiations with Iran, the goal of which is to prevent Iran from building a nuclear weapon. The Prime Minister wants the negotiations to end, and his purpose in speaking to the Congress is to convince us that the President is about to agree to a deal that threatens Israel's existence. He believes the President is naïve in thinking that he and the P5+1 can achieve any agreement that will stop Iran from rushing toward a bomb.
The Prime Minister may be correct that no deal can be reached. In fact, President Obama and his negotiators go into this with eyes wide open. As the President has said, "A bad deal is worse than no deal." But even if there is only a small chance that an agreement can be reached that will prevent Iran from building, perhaps within months, a nuclear weapon, why not keep working at it? Having been briefed about the some of the non-negotiables that the U.S. and our allies have put forth, I strongly favor letting the talks proceed unhindered. If the talks are to fail, let Iran be the party that walks away from the table rather than the United States. If the U.S. were the cause of the collapse, our allies in the carefully crafted P5+1 would drop their support for the sanctions regime, shattering the international effort to stop Iran.
What is the alternative to an agreement? Yes, the United States will increase sanctions. But does anyone doubt that Iran will build a nuclear weapon regardless of sanctions? Then the choices will be ugly: accepting a nuclear weaponized Iran or military action, i.e. war with Iran. For me it's obvious that we must give the negotiations a chance. And, in the meantime, Iran has essentially halted its weapons program under the Joint Plan of Action while the talks are ongoing.
My second concern is the damage that has been done to bi-partisan support for Israel. This is not the first time that the Republicans have tried to divide the Democrats and paint themselves as the only true supporters of Israel. The reality is that, when it comes to tangible deliverables, the Obama Administration has been unfailing in its cooperation with Israel — more so than most, if not all, Administrations over the last 40 years.
As columnist Doug Bloomfield notes:
"Obama has never embargoed arms to Israel as Reagan did to punish it for bombing Saddam Hussein's nuclear reactor. Reagan even joined with Iraqi diplomats in writing and passing a UN resolution condemning the Israeli attack.
Obama never sought to delay or cut aid to Israel approved by Congress as both the Reagan and Bush 41 administrations did.
President Ford ordered a 'reassessment' of relations with Israel in 1975 because of what the administration called Israeli 'intransigence' in negotiations with Egypt and Syria."
As an eight year member of the House Intelligence Committee, I know for a fact that our security and intelligence agencies have never worked more closely, making it all the harder to swallow the Prime Minister coming to lobby our Congress, in the most public and heretofore prestigious settings, to reject U.S. efforts to peacefully eliminate the threat of nuclear weapons in Iran. As Meir Dagan, former head of Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, said: 'Netanyahu's position will not change the West's position on the Iranian issue, but his actions bring our relationship with the Americans to an extreme point and this might extract an unbearable price from us in the future.' In talking to my Democratic colleagues, I believe this is not an idle concern.
There is still time to reschedule or relocate the speech. Prime Minister Netanyahu, his Ambassador to the United States, Ron Dermer, and House Speaker John Boehner should immediately rethink this dangerous mistake and follow the advice of former Ambassador Michael Oren who said: 'It's advisable to cancel the speech to Congress so as not to cause a rift with the American government.' And I would add, so as not to bring Israel, the United States and perhaps the world closer to war with Iran."

Azkals U23 Lost To Brunei To End Their SEA Games 2011 Campaign In The Last Place
He is Mr. Beloya.
The Philippine Azkals U-23 Team in the 26th SEA Games in Indonesia this year has finally ended their campaign on a low note as they were beaten by Brunei in their match yesterday. It was the last game of the Azkals in the current SEA Games but they failed to win the match. Their loss against Brunei will put them in the last place in the SEA Games football event with a 1-4 win-loss record. Their one win came when they beat Laos.
The story of their last game against Brunei goes this way. In the first half, Mr. Beloya of the Junior Azkals scored a goal in the 9' mark of the half. That goal happened because they were more aggressive and more eager to score a goal than the players of Brunei. But later on, Team Brunei sensed that they also need to score a goal, thus in the 17' mark of the first half, Mr. Adi of Brunei got a goal for his team making the score 1-1.
I thought that the first half would end with a tied score, but Mr. Reduan of Brunei made a great goal at the 42' mark of the half to make the score 2-1 in favor of Brunei at the end of the first half.
In the second half, the Azkals were trying really hard just to score a goal to tie the score but the players of Brunei were just on the right places on the defensive end that's why they were able to derail the goal attempts of the Azkals. The Azkals had several goal attempts but none of them were successful in the second half. The players of Brunei did a great job on the defensive end, that's why even if they were not able to score a goal in the 2nd half they still won the game via 2-1. Great defense can really win a game for a team.
In the end, the overall statistics of this game showed that the Azkals had more goal attempts than Brunei. The Azkals had 21 attempts while Brunei only had 5 attempts. The problem is that only one attempt became successful for the Azkals while for Brunei, 2 goals became successful. Thus they still won the match via 2 goals to 1.

The property is located on a hill just outside the village of Maleme, in the municipality of Platanias. The location of the property is excellent as it offers unobstructed sea views from the entire north side and beautiful views of a verdant plain to the south. Between the property and sea there are already constructed buildings and therefore the views will also be unobstructed in the future.
The plot has mature and productive olive trees. It is also fenced and has good privacy. Its area is currently 2,078 m². In the region there is a city plan that is under study, according to which a part of the property will be taken in the future for the construction of a road and a parking. The remaining area of the plot will be 1,153 m² but until the application of the plan you can fence it all and have a larger garden. After the application of the plan, the floor area ratio upon the land will be higher and will allow you to construct additional spaces or buildings.
The property is available for sale incomplete and is designed to accommodate two maisonettes, on the upper floors and two studios, in the basement. You can complete the construction as you wish, in order to have a large residence or anything else you need. In one part of the building there is a makeshift bedroom with bathroom while the rest is in the concrete stage. Upstairs, there are large verandas while the views are unobstructed even from the ground floor.
The region has great potential, in the future. Within walking distance there are luxurious villas and small lodging businesses as well as the beautiful beach of Pyrgos Psilonerou. Within less than 5 minutes' drive there are pharmacies, large supermarket, bakeries and some shops. The city and the airport of Chania are about 25 and 35 minutes' drive, respectively.

The Woody Allen Pages Turns Two
I'm as surprised as you. Another year has come around, and usually these mad ideas you have evaporate after a few months or so. This site only started because my Dad got sick, and I took time off work to look after him. Sitting by his bed, with my computer, I started creating this. Two years on, my Dad has passed away and are still here – this endeavour is dedicated to him, always. Allen is still here too. There's been no shortage of news to cover – and we definitely posted more in our second year than our first.
Another year where we finished our mission to rewatch every film written and directed by Woody Allen. We are making our way through Allen's 'other films', where he appeared but didn't write it direct – and we're currently up Antz. We hope to start on his books next. We launched polls, which has helped us discover new films at least. We made the Faces page, and the birthdays widget. We did a couple of interviews, and had a couple of scoops.
Many of you will probably know the site Every Woody Allen Movie. We were sad to hear recently that the person behind that site, Trevor, has passed away. We loved that site and we tried to keep what we did separate. But we are going to try and little harder with our film pages, and you will see more changes to them this year.
We are a one man operation, done around a full time job and a family, and we appreciate any help we can get. We would love to get your feedback about what is working and what is not working for you. You can also help us by sharing and retweeting our stories to help us build our audience. Follow us on Facebook and Twitter.
There's ways you can help us a little financially. If you buy stuff through Amazon, you can use our store, which brings a few cents our way. If you're feeling particularly generous, there's a paypal button below if you want to make a direct donation. But regardless, we will keep working hard and keep this site ad free. But selfishly, I'm dying to save up some money to go to New York to see Bullets Over Broadway.
Enough about that. What's next? That is largely up to you. If you have an idea for the site please let us know. Leave comments, or get in contact directly. We're playing around with the idea of forums – anyone care? We want to explore the music of Allen's films. More interviews – if we can find the time. We want to start a community – and at the moment the best place is to come talk to us and others on Facebook.
On a personal note, the furore that exploded in February caught me by surprise. I never found it rough going – it's old, old news – but I've never really had anything to do with the tabloid world before. Watching people fall into a lynch mob, reacting emotionally over rationally, that whole thirst for scandal, judgement and punishment…it did permanent damage to how I feel about the world at large. Mainly, I'm happy with my own little corner. "Don't you see the rest of the country looks upon New York like we're left-wing, communist, Jewish, homosexual pornographers…."
The truth is, Woody Allen is not that popular. He's highly visible, but his films don't make much money, and most of the world is always going to not like him – for his politics, his humour, his look, or his whatever.
As always, thanks to everyone who has visited the site, given us feedback or said nice things this past year. Turns out it isn't too bad to be in a club that would have you for a member.

Michael Howard Toon says:
This was a beautiful note, from first sentence to, especially, last. Well done, keep up the good work, and Thank You. I really enjoy this site.
I have said it before and I will say it again – since I started searching the web for news about Woody Allen's latest projects back in 2000 (Maybe even 1999…?) I had always wanted to find site exactly like this one. (And wondering why there never was one!) Thanks so much for the work that you do – it's really one of the best sites out there!
C.K. Dexter Haven says:
I only found your site late last year which is surprising considering what a huge Allen fan I am. You do excellent work and it's a relief that you are among the rational ones who have steered clear of that aforementioned "lynch mob" mentality.
Yes, Trevor's site was wonderful and I was deeply saddened to learn he had died in May 2013. He was a superb writer who did a fine job with his reviews though I often disagreed with his views on Allen's work. However, his entry on Interiors is outstanding.

The Walking Dead All-Stars tier list
We've put together a The Walking Dead All-Stars tier list so you can pick out the best character to go around bashing zombie heads in with
Connor Christie
The Walking Dead: All-Stars
If you want to make it anywhere in the popular zombie survival game based on AMC's hit series, you're going to need a The Walking Dead All-Stars tier list. If you've seen the show, you know most of these undead busters can pack a punch, but when it comes to playing as a character, there's a big difference between nasty Negan, the might of Morgan, and sweet, sweet Carl (or Coral, for those that know him better).
So, we've put together this The Walking Dead All-Stars tier list to help you decide on which of the defenders against the army of the undead you think most suits your playstyle. If you're not sure which that might be, we've got a section explaining those at the top of our TWD All-Star tier list to give you a little bit of context before you take to splattering skulls.
While here, you should stock up for the zombie apocalypse with our list of handy The Walking Dead All-Stars codes, offering plenty of in-game freebies. Or, if you want to test your skull-smashing abilities further afield, check out our picks for the best zombie games on Switch and find more brainless bodies to bash.
We've checked out all the undead hunters available for our The Walking Dead All-Stars tier list, but of course, new characters may well arrive in the game, so be sure to bookmark this page for all the latest rankings.
Tier The Walking Dead All-Stars character
S Ezekiel & Shiva, Negan, Glenn, Tyreese, Kate
A Michonne, Andrew, Shane, Sophia, Andrea, Chloe, Lake, Eugene, Abraham, Chemist, Beta, Dwight, Sherry
B Jesus, Eva, Princess, Gabriel, Rosita, Magna, Denise, Sebastian, Gideon, Laura
C Leader Rick, Rick Grimes, Dante, Tylor, George, R, Axel, Governor, Alpha, Rania, Laura
The Walking Dead All-Stars S tier explained
If you're wondering how to play one of the S-tier characters from our The Walking Dead All-Stars tier list, you're in luck. We've broken down some handy details below.
Ezekiel & Shiva – one of the standout characters (or pair of characters) across all TWD All-Stars, is Ezekial & Shiva. With a speed-boosting effect, the ability to tank hits with relative ease, and some handy crowd-control attacks, there's no better character for beginners or returning players.
Negan – you might not like him much, but Negan is worth using in TWD All-Stars for his passive energy recovery and his ability to pull enemies in for attacks. The bigger the team, the better Negan works.
Glenn – the buff and nerf king of The Walking Dead All-Stars, Glenn is a fantastic team player with his skills in healing and buffing teammates while nerfing opponents' abilities. For control of the field, there are few better than Glenn.
Tyreese – Tyreese is the most reliable tank in the game, able to withstand attacks that would be fatal to any other character.
Kate – Kate is the most intricate of the S-tier TWD All-Stars characters as her ability might not seem that potent, but if you synergise her energy attacks with a carry character like Andrea, there's some serious damage to be done to the enemy team.
There you have it. Hopefully, our The Walking Dead All-Stars tier list helps to make your time in the zombie wastelands of post-apocalyptic U.S.A a little bit more bearable. Or, if you'd rather face a devil than the undead, check out our picks for the best games like Diablo on Switch.

Илѐк е река в Казахстан, Актобенска и Западноказахстанска област и Европейска Русия, Оренбургска област, ляв приток на река Урал. Дължината ѝ е 623 km.

Река Илек се образува от сливането на реките Караганди (лява съставяща) и Жарик (дясна съставяща), на 274 m н.в., северно от град Кандиагаш, Актобенска област на Казахстан. Двете реки водят началото си от западните склонове на планината Мугоджари. По цялото си протежение река Илек има широка обработваема долина с една заливна и две надзаливни тераси. Заливната тераса на реката е заета от пасища и е обрасла на места с храсти и широколистни гори. В нея реката силно меандрира и изобилстват многочислени протоци, изоставени старици и малки езера. Последните 180 km по течението ѝ преминава държавната граница между Русия и Казахстан. Влива се отляво в река Урал при нейния 1085 km, на 53 m н.в., при село Илек, Оренбургска област.

Водосборният басейн на Илек обхваща площ от 41,3 хил. km2 и представлява 19,39% от водосборния басейн на Урал. Във водосборния басейн на реката попадат части от териториите на Актобенска, Западноказахстанска и Оренбургска област.

Границите на водосборния басейн на реката са следните:
 на север и изток – водосборните басейни на река Ор и други по-малки леви притоци на Урал;
 на юг – водосборния басейн на река Емба, вливаща се в Каспийско море;
 на югозапад – водосборните басейни на реките Уил и Шънгърлау, леви притоци на Урал.

Река Илек получава сравнително малко притоци – реките: Ветлянка, Голяма Песчанка, Хобда (най-голяма) 225 km, 14 700 km2, вливаща се отляво при село Покровка, Оренбургска област.

Подхранването на Илек е предимно снегово и в по-малък процент дъждовно и подземно. Пълноводието на реката е през пролетта, а през лятото силно намалява. Среден годишен отток при село Чилик, на 112 km от устието 39,8 m3/s. Замръзва през мтората половина на ноември, а се размразява през втората половина на април април.

По течинето на реката са разположени:
 Актобенска област – градовете Кандиагаш, Алга и Актобе и село Мартук (районен център);
 Оренбургска област – град Сол Илецк и село Акбулак (районен център);
 Западноказахстанска област – посьолок Чингирлау (районен център).

Във водосборния басейн на реката се експлоатират големи находища на фосфорити.

Electricity Woes Worsen As Hwange Floods Take Out Power Plant
20th January 2020 Business, Economy
ZIMBABWE's thermal power plant in Hwange was knocked off line because of local flooding amid daily power cuts in the African nation.
"The weather has conspired against us," Energy Minister Fortune Chasi tweeted on Sunday, adding that 400 megawatts of capacity had been lost and that power utility Zesa Holdings was working to bring the plant back.
The country has been experiencing power cuts lasting as much as 18-hours a day, with output at its hydro power station in Kariba constrained because of a regional drought. Power generation at Hwange, which has an installed capacity of 920 megawatts, is also limited by frequent breakdowns.
Zesa's power distribution subsidiary Zimbabwe Power Company said on Jan. 16 that the Hwange plant had been producing about 370 megawatts.

Technology trivia: Earthquakes for smartphones
Everyone in the world today has a smart phone, and we can get a lot of information through smart phones, such as weather forecasts, earthquake warnings, and so on.
Today, 3trivia shared with trivia lovers about how smart phones can help us live a healthier and happier life. The theme of this issue is Earthquakes.
The world's Most realistic robot hrP-4C
World's Most realistic robot 'Diego SAN'
World's Most realistic robot 'PETMAN'
oday's smartphones contain a device known as a MEMS accelerometer. It's what figures out which way is up and flips the screen around accordingly. Seismologists from Italy's National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology have used the MEMS chip from an iPhone 4 and 5 to measure earthquake-scale forces. The idea is that turning smartphones into a network of seismometers will allow emergency response teams to quickly pinpoint an earthquake's epicenter and get resources to the right places more quickly. Previous work has shown that the accelerometers can tell the difference between earthquake vibrations and everyday movements such as running.
Other scientists hope to use the technology to create an early warning network. Collecting data from a large number of phones would allow scientists to predict where an earthquake is going to strike next and send a warning to anyone that has the app installed. Earthquake early warning systems have been shown to save lives, so utilizing smartphones is a cheap way of introducing the technology to areas without the need for new hardware.

Hello my name is dr Jay Breitlow and I have been playing with coach Preston for the most exciting and glorious manifested year of my life. It was a year ago my fiancé, who is also a dc, met Tom, and at the time we were in a very challenging and unauthentic practice in Chicago. We had 3 months left in our contract and no idea what our life, if we could manifest, would look like.
Coach Tom took us through the entire process of starting over in practice – which meant helping us clarify our ideal life and dream practice, holding our hand as we looked at buying practices and flat out starting up from square one. We decided to start from zero and trust in our why… This is something coach goes thru with u straight away; why u want to be in practice and why u serve humanity.
Well the "outcome" if u will can be told in a story. Christina and I were in a uhaul moving to Colorado, scared to death. Armed with nothing but clarity, certainty and a ginormous WHY. We didn't know how we would open just that a space awaited us and that it fit our authentic vision. At any rate on the move, we had a timeout at a rest stop for a coaching call somewhere in the middle of Nebraska. So on this call I am basically crying my heart out in a panic that everything I own is in this truck and there is no "salary" on the other end.
Well tom trusted so much in his processes that he just said – "Jay I guarantee u in a few months from now we well be laughing about this day." Two months later we went from zero services to 100/ week and had created our life… our perfect life… in our one authentic voice.
On top of that coach goes thru the ins and outs of what he calls ESOL's. Energetic Space Occupying lesions that clog up the "hard drive" of our life and slow down the efficiency and effectiveness of designing and living our dream life. I had a few ESOL's, one of which was with closure on my father's untimely and early death. There were lessons, learning's and blessings in that experience that I had no awareness of and with coach's help that weight around my neck soon became the wind beneath my wings to soar to new heights in my life.
Another ESOL I had was with my younger brother. Coach brought to my attention that every relationship is co-created and that it is support thru communication. These simple ideas when put into practice has radically changed my family relationships for the better!
Please don't hesitate to call me at 303-776-6767 if you want a candid chat about coach tom, or you can email me at drjbreitlow@gmail.com.
Have a wonderful and blessed day and enjoy your one heroes journey.

Q: Unity 2017 vs Unity 5.x "float" differs Debug.Log((int)(4.2f * 10.0f));

Result : 41 (in Unity 2017.2.1p4)
Result : 42 (in Unity 5.4.3p4)
why it differs??

A: Floating point numbers use an approximate representation and floatng math is not deterministic. The same calculation can give different results, particularly on different computers, architectures, or compiler and optimization settings.
Thus, it's likely that there is a difference in compiler and optimization settings between Unity 5.4.3p4 and Unity 2017.2.1p4.
In your example, 4.2f * 10.0f can result in different values like 41.9999998f or 42.0000002f, which is casted to integer as 41 or 42 respectively.
For more information, see these posts:

*

*Is floating-point math consistent in C#? Can it be?

*Is floating point math deterministic?

A: The exact result of product of (single precision) float 4.2f and 10.f is
41.9999980926513671875

The nearest float to this exact result is 42.0f
But this exact result fits in a double precision, so if ever the expression is evaluated in single precision it will print 42, but if it is evaluated in double precision, then it will print 41.
IOW, the expression can be decomposed into:
x = 4.2f;
x = x * 10.0f;
Debug.Log((int)(x));

If the compiler decided to preserve a single precision x, it will print 42, but if it decided to evaluate x in double precision, it will print 41.

I was originally only looking at the G2 product for my yz250fx, but then fell onto the Motion Pro product. Motion Pro is double the price, and I cant seem to find a lot of reviews on it. I have seen the G2 mentioned on this forum a number of times. I am leaning towards to G2, but just thought I would see if there were any reviews from someone who has used both.
Goal - reducing the on/off lurch from initial throttle opening.
People that use them really like the G2, but first, you have to ask yourself a question. Why do you need one? If it were really necessary in the bike's design then the manufacturer would build the bike with a similar type throttle. Look at the way you ride before you shell out the bucks, IMHO.
Ive been riding the bike for a year now. A lot of the time I dont need any changes; I use the clutch to modulate speed. However, with all the rain we have had this year, the trails are toast! Rocks and roots everywhere. More so than normal. Last weekend I was out and when I started getting tired is when I really felt that I could do without the twitchy throttle. Plus, I have been riding more technical terrain in general this year, along with some hand issues Im working through, I feel that one of these products may help me out. Im also looking at a set of flex bars.
Tuner is 3 times the price of the G2 and 2 times the price of the motion pro.
i have used all of their products and i cannot own a bike with out a g2 throttle cam setup, also their bark busters are some of the toughest around.
i usually have a 3 or 400 for most aplications but on my 250f i really like the quick turn cam.
best part is the few g2 bark busters ive bent i've taken to sam, or given to cody to give to sam, and he usually helps out on a new set.
The tuner is well worth it though.
The g2 does work very well. I run the medium cam and it makes a difference when your exhausted and riding technical terrain.
Never heard of the Motion Pro product..
Well, its settled then. G2 it is.
The motion pro product looks to be similar with more cam options. You need to use their cables ( included ), but I havent found the reviews I was looking for. It seems a lot of riders want to the quick turn, where as I want mine to smoothen out the bottom.
Don't personally use one but I use a lot of Motion Pro stuff so was slightly interest.
IMO for the $164, your getting not just the tamer but some high quality cables, throttle housing, tube, cams etc and would be something I would look at if I was in the market for something like this.
No doubt they make good stuff; I just cant find the information Im looking for, on their product.
You can call G2 and find out anything you want to know about their product. They will also find you a different spool (they have round ones too) for special requirements/desires. I have G2 throttle tubes on 3 bikes, at least two of them were customized per my request after consulting them.
Another happy G2 customer here. Products are top notch and so is their service.
I really love it when a product gets nothing but positive reviews. Im going to contact G2 today and get one on order. Thanks everyone.
Ill have mine on Thursday. Decided to go with the "kit" which gives me the 3 different cams.
mapping and tuning and G2 throttle tamer serves two different purposes. Throttle tamer turns your fuel injection feel into a carb feel right off throttle. Instead of "on/off" it can roll on and roll off without surge. Mapping isn't going to do that.
I tried and tried and tried to get rid of the surge on mine. Finally got a G2, and it was well worth it. The bike is still a monster, but it's a little more tame on the single. Mapping helped, throttle tamer helped more.


Grace Paletta's final season as a member of the Sacred Heart Greenwich lacrosse team not only ended with a championship. Besides helping the Tigers win the FAA Tournament title, Paletta capped her career with high honors.
Paletta, Sacred Heart's senior captain, was named to the U.S. Lacrosse Connecticut All-America Lacrosse Team. The All-America Team includes 21 public and private school players from the state.
A midfielder, Paletta will bring her lacrosse skills to Cornell University, where her sister Natalie is a defender/midfielder on the team. Grace's oldest sister Carolyn, plays at the University of North Carolina.
Paletta's All-American season for Sacred Heart saw her register 47 goals and 20 assists. She also gathered 15 ground balls and totaled a team-high 63 draw controls. She also earned All-America honors last spring.
Also a three-time All-FAA selection (2015, 2016, 2017), Paletta caused 14 turnovers this past season and recorded four goals and two assists in the Tigers' 18-5 win over Greens Farms Academy in the FAA Tournament's championship game. In the FAA Tournament semifinals, Paletta notched four goals in her squad's 19-5 victory over Rye Country Day School.
Clough has seen Paletta's play improve each season.

Unbeaten Cardinals Roll Into NFC West Battle With 49ers As Home Favorites
Written By C.J. Pierre on October 8, 2021
It is only four weeks into the 2021 NFL season, and fans of the Arizona Cardinals have a lot to cheer about.
The team is 4-0, the last remaining undefeated team. Before the season started, sportsbook put the odds around 40-1 for the team to accomplish that feat. The Cards have also notched upset wins over two playoff hopefuls, including their NFC West rival, the then-unbeaten Los Angeles Rams.
Now Arizona gets set to return to State Farm Stadium for another division matchup with the San Franciso 49ers. The 49ers are coming off of two straight losses and dealing with a load of injuries.
Heading into a game that could become pivotal to the Cardinals playoff odds, you can expect a rowdy Red Sea crowd on Sunday.
Cardinals return home as AZ sports betting favorites
After doubting Arizona before the season started, betting apps in Arizona appear to be hopping on the Cards bandwagon. They are favored to win Sunday's matchup with the 49ers by more than a field goal. The line on the game has shifted from early in the week, now sitting at a 4.5-point spread for Arizona. We'll touch on why that is later.
According to FanDuel Sportsbook AZ, the Cardinals hold a point spread line of with the over/under set at points. Arizona has scored over 30 points in all four of its games this season. However, it is the defense that might stop bettors from hitting the over. The Cards' D has only allowed over 30 points once this season and has forced multiple turnovers in two straight games.
For perspective, WynnBet Arizona has set the over/under for 49ers total points at 21.5.
San Franciso 49ers (2-2) at Arizona Cardinals (4-0)
Date: Sunday, Oct. 10
Time: 1:25 PM MST
Location: State Farm Stadium– Glendale, Arizona
TV Coverage: FOX
MVP candidate Kyler Murray looks to continue great play
This upcoming game between the Cardinals and the 49ers is all about the quarterbacks. But for completely different reasons.
Let's start with the NFL MVP frontrunner: Cards quarterback Kyler Murray.
The signal-caller known as K-1 has been playing lights out so far this season. He has thrown for 1,273 yards while connecting on 76.1% of his passes (102-for-134), with nine touchdowns against four interceptions (318.3 yards per game). He's also run the ball 23 times for 109 yards and three TDs.
Oddsmakers are expecting another monster game from Murray on Sunday. For example, DraftKings AZ lists his QB over/under props at 2.5 passing touchdowns (+155) and 320.5 total yards passing and rushing (-115).
Cardinals defense preparing to face 49ers rookie QB
Meanwhile, the 49ers are dealing with a ton of question marks on offense — starting at quarterback.
Starter Jimmy Garoppolo left this past Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks with a calf injury. Rookie Trey Lance came off the bench but could not rally the team to a win.
As of Thursday, Jimmy G has not practiced, and it is looking like Lance will make his first career NFL start against Arizona. Early in the week, it was clear that the betting market thinks Garoppolo gives San Francisco a better shot at winning than his rookie backup.
The market opened with the 49ers as a 3.5-point road underdog against the undefeated Cardinals. However, the line has shifted as it's become more and more likely that Lance will start the game due to Garoppolo's injury. Right now, the Cardinals are favored by a spread of .
However, sportsbooks have not released any prop bets for Lance. So expect a lot of changes once Garoppolo's game status is made official.
Arizona off to historically hot start
In sports terminology, you could say Arizona is clicking on all cylinders. The offense is putting up points and the defense is playing well. The Cardinals' formula of combining explosive young players with veteran leadership has led to opening the season with four wins — the team's best start to a season since 2012.
Unfortunately, those Arizona Cardinals finished with a record of 5-11. No one is expecting a collapse like that this season. But to be fair, no one expected the Cardinals to come out of the gates like this either.
At the start of the season, Arizona was +5000 to be the last remaining unbeaten team according to Caesars Sportsbook AZ. On all the sports betting apps in the state, Arizona had the worst odds to win the NFC West. Furthermore, bettors could have easily doubled their money betting on the Cards to make the playoffs.
Remember, it is only four games in. But Arizona has already exceeded expectations and has transformed from mere playoff hopefuls to Super Bowl contenders.

GC2019 Daily Update: Feb. 24
Updated: 5:30 p.m. Sunday
By United Methodist News Service
Feb. 24, 2019 | ST. LOUIS (UMNS)
Other Manual Translations: Français 한국어
The Rev. Gary Graves reads the results of a Feb. 24, 2019, poll of legislative priorities among delegates to the Special Session of the General Conference of The United Methodist Church, held in St. Louis, Missouri. The conference was called to help the denomination find a way toward unity, despite deep conflicts over sexuality. The initial voting shows a preference for dealing first with pension and then with the Traditional Plan petition that would strengthen enforcement of church policies against LGBTQ individuals serving as clergy or being married in UM churches. Graves is secretary of the general conference. Photo by Paul Jeffrey, UMNS.
Petitions meant to address pensions and the Traditional Plan topped the list of priorities for what General Conference delegates will work on in their legislative committee.
This was a key vote as delegates to the denomination's top lawmaking assembly try to set the direction in the denomination's longtime debate over homosexuality.
By 56 votes, the Traditional Plan topped the One Church Plan, supported by a majority of the bishops.
The Traditional Plan was second behind pensions, and the One Church Plan was fifth behind legislation that deals with disaffiliating churches.
The Traditional Plan would strengthen restrictions against officiating at same-gender unions and being "self-avowed practicing" gay clergy. The One Church Plan would leave questions of same-sex weddings up to individual clergy and congregations.
"We're very happy the Traditional Plan received the majority of the votes," said the Rev. Rob Renfroe, president of the unofficial advocacy group Good News, which has championed the legislation.
"In spite of all the efforts of the groups and the bishops, the church remains committed to a scriptural understanding of sexual ethics."
The president of the Council of Bishops said the Feb. 24 vote is "very early in the process" and the work is in the hands of the delegates.

"The Commission on the General Conference was wise in developing a process for this special session: We are a church on four continents, we speak multiple languages and we live in diverse cultures. And we bring all of this to the complex relationships between LGBTQ identity, the unity of the church and our interpretation of scripture.
The prioritization process helps us to focus," Bishop Kenneth H. Carter, who also leads the Florida Conference, said.
"I don't think it is appropriate to comment on how the delegates are voting. Bishops have been clear that we are serving the delegations to do their best work …," he said. "I respect the delegates; the church has authorized them to do this important work."
Moving forward, he said the delegates will begin to reflect on this work, and this will take legislative form over the next two days.
Bishop Julius C. Trimble, who leads the Indiana Conference, said his word to his people is: "Hold on and keep doing ministry the way you're doing now."
"There's more to come. Let's not put a period on it yet."
In a process that took about an hour, delegates ranked legislation either as high or low priority. Some of the 23 legislative packages involve multiple petitions; others were petitions that can stand alone. Each petition changes part of the Book of Discipline, the denomination's governing document.
The rankings were displayed after all the plans and petitions had received a vote. More than 820 of 864 delegates from around the world were voting.
Legislation recommended by Wespath Benefits and Investments, the denomination's pension agency, topped the final tally with 518 high-priority votes.
Those two petitions deal with how to handle the pension liabilities of departing churches and the accrued benefits of departing clergy.
The Traditional Plan received 459 votes.
The next highest vote getters were two different plans for how exiting congregations could leave with their property, with 412 and 406 votes respectively.
The One Church Plan received 403 high-priority votes.
The Simple Plan, which would eliminate all restrictive Disciplinary language related to homosexuality, received 153 high-priority votes.
The Connectional Conference Plan, which would restructure the church around theological lines, drew 102 votes.

Before voting even began, delegates learned that the two petitions that are part of the Modified Traditional Plan would first go to the Standing Committee on Central Conference Matters. The permanent committee of General Conference deals with legislation that affects central conferences — church regions in Africa, the Philippines and Europe.
Neil Alexander said his unofficial advocacy group Uniting Methodists, which supports the One Church Plan, is not giving up.
"We are in the beginning of a complex legislative process," Alexander said. "There is much debate and many decisions to come. We will be sharing information and ideas we believe will win broad support."
The Rev. Edwin Momog, a delegate from Sierra Leone, said the hall was charged and tense during the vote. But he believes a majority of delegates are happy.
"But God has a way of doing things. He has some sense of humor. When we feel so much anxious, that's when he comes in with his own way. It is God's church. And, I think the voting just went God's own way."
Audun Westad, lay delegate from the Norway Conference, said it saddened him that the disaffiliation petitions got such huge support.
"That does not look good for their willingness to stay together with people of a different mind," he said.
The German delegation was surprised that the plan was ranked so low with less than 50 percent of the vote, said Klaus U. Ruof, German communicator. They likewise were surprised the delegates wanted to talk pensions and money before talking about a plan, he said.
The Rev. Alex da Silva Souto, an openly gay clergy delegate from the New York Conference, was less surprised. He has championed the Simple Plan.
"Today's results are not the first time we as LGBTQIA United Methodists have been hurt by our church, and not the first time that our denomination contradicts its mission, and still we are here," he said. "We will continue to trust in God's priorities for our welfare."
For the rest of the day and into Feb. 25, the delegates began work as a single legislative committee. The Book of Discipline requires that all petitions receive a vote in a legislative committee.
Usually General Conference has multiple such committees, but because the whole gathering is dealing with same parts of the Book of Discipline, there is only one committee with all delegates. The legislative work will continue on Feb. 25.

Updated 12:30 p.m. Sunday
At the first legislative session of the 2019 General Conference, delegates heard the presentation of the Commission on a Way Forward's report.
Speaking on behalf of the One Church Plan, the Rev. Jasmine Smothers, pastor of Atlanta First United Methodist Church, said of the plan's attempt to maintain denominational unity: "The cost of division is high, cost of disruption to the mission is beyond what we can quantify."
Mazvita Machinga, a commission member from Zimbabwe, outlined the Connectional Conference Plan's three values: a new form of unity around shared goals, valuing space and differentiation and valuing all things new.
Machinga said under the plan, she visualizes "a big church with smaller tents underneath … connected to Christ but reaching out to many different kinds of mission."
Presenting the Traditional Plan, the Rev. Jessica LaGrone, a Texas Conference delegate who serves in Kentucky, said it is "an attempt to value unity in doctrine, consistency in practice and mutual accountability," adding that "the growing chaos in The UMC has overtaken our lives."
Bishop Christian Alsted of the Nordic-Baltic Episcopal Area presided over the morning session. Noting that the event was being held in a former football stadium where mighty physical struggles occur between teams trying to win, "for these four days this is not a football arena, this is church. A different set of rules apply, crafted by John Wesley: Do no harm, do good, stay in love with God."
Updated 11 a.m. Sunday
Bishop Kenneth H. Carter told the delegates to the 2019 General Conference they were in St. Louis because they were respected, trusted and now hold the mission of the church in their hands.
"Take a moment to look at your hands. If you watch and listen for the good in progressive, centrist, conservative, you will find it. You will see the Cross and Flame," he said in his sermon at the opening worship on Feb. 24.
Carter became the president of the Council of Bishops in 2018. He was already serving as one of three moderators for the Commission on a Way Forward, formed after the 2016 United Methodist General Conference. The commission was charged with finding ways to resolve the divisions over the church's stance on homosexuality.
Carter said he was asked to watch and listen. He said watching and listening was not unlike the work he did for 28 years as pastor of local churches.
When people disagree about how to interpret Scripture, "They imagined they were still learning and growing as disciples and had not arrived," he said.
"The divisions are easy to see. What would it be like for us to watch and listen for the connections?" he asked.
He asked the delegates to make every effort to make unity "your passionate concern."
"Remember: you are the people of the Cross and the Flame."

of Hannah Montana and waiting anxiously to go out for recess just as every 5th grader does; little did I know that becoming a part of the Rangel community would change my life immensely.
Good evening! My name is Melissa Rodriguez and I am currently a junior at Irma Rangel. I have been at Rangel since seventh grade allowing me to have had the opportunity to experience five wonderful camps, yet the one the affected me the most was probably the first one I attended. I knew that starting a new school was going to be difficult and when I found out I was going to go to a camp for a week with a group of girls that I did not know... I was terrified.

Q: Autodesk Forge Datamanagement API We uses Autodesk Fusion Team to manage collaboration. To get an overview of users activated in the hub and get the last activity date I want to write some code.
I checked via Postman what the Datamanagement API responses, but there is no documented request to get users like it is in the BIM360 API.
https://developer.api.autodesk.com/hq/v1/accounts/accountId/users
This is the request from the documentation of the BIM360 API. I'm searching for the possibility in Fusion Team.

At the very heart of Indianapolis, Indiana is the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument, which is dedicated to those who served in the Civil War. The elevator to the observation window ascends 230 feet.
I'm not sure I did it justice, but I had to represent my city!


Although the leaves have turned to beautiful Fall colours, it is hard to believe that autumn has come when the weather is still wonderful outside! I have an uneasy feeling that the first snowfall in November will be a rude awakening!
Dunsford DES had an incredibly busy month of October, with students involved in a wide variety of events. More than 50 students participate in the Cross-Country Event held on Wednesday, October 6th. Our soccer teams competed on Thursday, October 21st in the Zone Soccer Tournaments. Two of our teams moved onto the County Soccer Tournaments! The Terry Fox Challenge Assembly took place on the 15th, school photos on the 18th and 19th and Halloween classroom parties and the Intermediate Dance took place on the 29th. Mr. Steve McCullough's "One-Man Band" also performed at DDES on the 26th. Student Council members were also involved in a trip to the Humane Society in order to get ideas for a charity fundraiser. Please read on to find out about each of these activities in greater detail and to celebrate all of our students' achievements.
As this will be the final newsletter before parents receive Progress Reports on November 12th, I encourage all parents and guardians to use the Progress Report as a means of information and communication with staff at Dunsford DES. Maintaining an open line of communication between parents and staff is critical for the success of all students.
A number of topics were discussed, including information about the new uniforms (supplier, colours, sizes, etc…). The goal of the School Council was to provide a sufficient number of uniforms to outfit all of our teams in the same uniform (often more than 60 students for Cross Country!).
The final organization of the QSP fundraiser was established (along with the volunteers who would help count the money) and the prizes determined for top fundraisers.
The School Council will also be asking local businesses to support the Christmas Hampers program.
The "stinger" is in! Our new uniforms have arrived! Thanks to the hard work of Mrs. Jeffrey (from the Parent Council), 75 uniforms (in sizes that will fit primary students to our intermediate students) are now at the school. Our students loved the uniforms ("sick," I believe, was the phrase first used!). The shirts are predominantly dark blue, with some red and a little bit of white. The "Dunsford Stinger" is predominantly displayed on the front of the shirt.
The students had a great deal of pride wearing the new uniforms and it showed in the successful results from this year's soccer teams.
You can also access some of the Community News that is sent to the school, but that we are unable to send home in the newsletter or through paper copies. For example, there is news about the local Health Unit and the Flu Shot and the Boys and Girls Club's program.
It is well worth checking out periodically and very hard working secretary, Mrs. Power, will do her best to update frequently (but please understand that certain times of the year are very busy!).
Thanks to everyone in the community for their support of the very successful magazine campaign. Our sales total this year is $ 10,354.18! WOW!!! WAY TO GO, DUNSFORD! You can continue to order on-line, all year round at www.qsp.ca , the school code number is 9910 and we will still receive credit for the sales. Top division Pizza Winners for top sales for: Intermediates: Mr. Avery's class; Juniors: Mr. Thompson's class and Primaries: Miss Graham's Class. These classes will be getting a pizza party on Nov. 5th at second nutrition break. Congratulations to all these winners.
I would like to thank Mrs. Brittain, Mrs. Carnuck-Beaudoin and Mrs. Aiabens for volunteering their time to organize the QSP fundraiser and also count the money that came to the school. It is a HUGE job, requiring many hours to complete.
I would also like to thank Mrs. Ciesielski, one of Dunsford's educational assistants, for spearheading the QSP fundraising and also helping keep it organized at a school level.
September's Character Ed Assembly was held on Tuesday, October 12th. We celebrated the achievements of numerous students at the assembly.

The Principal's Award winners for academic achievement were: Leah Cooper (Primary), Brianna Billings (Junior) and Harry Jackson (Intermediate).
October's Character Ed assembly will be on November 5th at 10:00. As always, parents/guardians are welcome to attend.
Dunsford's Cross-Country team travelled to the Ken Reid Conservation area on Wednesday, October 6th to participate against other schools from Kawartha Lakes and the Haliburton area. The team were great ambassadors for the school! Many personal bests were achieved and a number of students did exceptionally well! Thank you for your hard work and efforts!
Dunsford finished the day with our best results ever! Top finishers include Ruth Kelly-Koebel 17th, Jackson Allen 5th, Magnolia Golzlin 25th, Jenna DeMaeyer 3rd and Tyler Junkin 15th.
The following students were the top Dunsford students in their age division, Dylan Bischoff, Jessica Ludgate, and Jake Tatchell. Special recognition goes to Abby Junkin and Austin Jeffrey both in Grade 1. Excellent job, Dunsford!

Dunsford's Junior and Intermediate Girls and Boys Soccer teams were busy practising throughout the months of September and October.
In the Zone Soccer Tournament, the Junior Boys went 2-1. They placed 2nd in the "pool" and went onto the County Tournament. They won their games against Scott Young and Jack Callaghan and narrowly lost to Rolling Hills by 1 goal. Although the team played very well (with everyone contributing), special mention goes out to the goalies: Parker Haney and Emma Downer-Price (who did not let in a single goal during the tournament, even though debuting as a goalie!).
At the County Tournament, the Junior team overcame a 2-0 deficit in each of their first 2 games, but unfortunately ended up losing both of these games. 2 more close games were played and lost against Woodville and Alexandra – but it should be noted that Alexandra went on to win the County Championship. Special mention goes to Livia Karklins who scored 2 goals and Chad MacDonald and Katie Taylor who each scored a goal.
The Intermediate Boys finished first in their division, going 2-0! The Dunsford boys beat both Scott Young and Rolling Hills by showing great hustle and a desire to win! Again, Dunsford won as a team, but special mention went out to Curtis Potter, Dylin Vaughan, Tony Francis and Cole Willis for their game play and effort.
At the County Tournament, the Intermediate Boys finished third! This is the highest placing for our Intermediate Boys in many years! They won their first 3 games and made it to the semi-finals, where they lost against a very strong team from Lady Mackenzie. The game was tied until the last 6 minutes of the game when an unfortunate bounce led to a goal against Dunsford. Dunsford ultimately lost 2-0, with a goal being scored as Dunsford's players pinched up to try for the tying goal.
Anthony Bischoff, Dylan Bischoff, Reid Cooper, Emma Downer-Price, Braeley Fitxpatrick, Julie Freeburn, Magnoila Golzlin-Mcgugan, Jacob Graham, Parker Haney, Harley Jeffrey, Tyson Jeffrey, Dylan Jones, Liva Karklins, Christian Keast, Brittany King, Jennifer Ludgate, Jessica Ludgate, Chad Mc Donald, Max Quast, Jake Tatchell and Katie Taylor.

Kristien Holmes, Emily Bolender, Jordyn Hay, Julie Hughes, Alyssa Harrington, Hannah Tatchell, Emma Cooper, Sarah Freeburn, Dawson Coe, Lexie Brittain, Laura Ham and Caitlyn Graham.
An Intermediate Girls Team photo is unavailable this month (due to technological difficulties!), but will be provided in next month's newsletter.
Dunsford – you delivered! The school's goal was to raise $6000 this year. On Friday, October 15th, Mrs. Loucks and Mr. Prins revealed that Dunsford had raised $6110.50 exceeding our goal by $110.50.
As Mr. Prins would say: "Every cent counts!" Dunsford students did an excellent job showing their character in meeting the school's goal and contributing to a very worthy charity.
The ever popular Terry Fox Challenge Assembly took place on Friday, October 15th. The top fundraiser was Laura Mitchell and she won the bicycle! Our next top fundraisers were: Tony, Ken and Ashley Francis, Zander Thurston, Britney Dudman, Emily Bolendar, Emma Downer-Price, Taylor Allen, Dawson & Danielle Boileau, Kristen Holmes, Jackson Allen, PJ McAthur, Jake Tatchell, and Curtis Potter.
As always, staff and students were very "game" about completing challenges. A number of staff took pies in the face – although I have to confess that the whipped cream tasted awfully good! Mr. Avery, Mr. Thompson, Mlle. Hainer and Mr. Parish were just some of the staff members who enjoyed the whipped cream. Mrs. Swartman and Mrs. McFarland took on the challenge of being taped to a basketball pole. A number of students also took on the challenge of being pied. Special mention has to go to Dawson Boileau and Cameron Dudman who offered to shave their heads if the school goal was raised!
Dunsford was fortunate to have a local musician, Steve McCullough, present a musical act for one hour on Tuesday, October 26th. Mr. McCullough brought in his own instruments, equipment and light show for the presentation. Students were treated to a musical performance with music from the 1940's to the 1980's and, judging by the reaction, seemed to really enjoy it! Students sang along and clapped as Mr. Cullough performed. His goal was to provide students with a musical experience that they are not always able to hear and he certainly succeeded!
We will start collecting for the Hampers in November. The first day of collection will be on Monday, November 10th and we will complete collection on Friday, December 3rd. The Hampers will be given to families the following week. If you are in need of a Christmas Hamper please notify Mrs. Power or Mrs. McLean at the office by phone or in person (705-793-2088). All family names are kept strictly confidential.
During the month of December, Dunsford's leadership team will be hosting our first Christmas Shopping Spree. Classes will be invited down to the gym to buy Christmas presents for whomever they choose (family, friends, teachers, etc…). BUT, before the students can buy anything, we need the help of our community!
On Tuesday, October 27th, Mr. Thompson and Mlle. Hainer accompanied the student leadership team to the Humane Society in Lindsay after school. Students had the opportunity to take a tour of the facility, play with some of the animals, and ask questions to the shelter manager. The students asked about the current condition of the shelter, how monetary donations would be spent, and why the shelter needs our help.
The students were overwhelmed by the poor condition of the shelter and the lack of sufficient space for the animals. Their lunch room barely exists anymore as it has been bombarded with cages!
At this time, the leadership team is considering making this organization one that we raise money to help throughout the year. There are many students and families within our school that care deeply for animals and we know that they desperately need our help. We will be sure to keep you informed once the team makes a decision!
Dunsford DES participated in the Great Canadian Fire Drill on Monday, October 4th. It was even more of a surprise to our students because it was originally scheduled for Thursday, October 7th! During the week of the 4th to the 8th thousands of students across Canada practised fire drills at school. Dunsford students did a great job in knowing the routines to be followed in the event of a fire drill.
Forms for milk and hot lunches will go home on November 23 for December and due back on November 26th. The choice for pizza is ham and cheese or just cheese.

Protests push back Peru's right-wing coup
Peru has been rocked by weeks of strikes and protests following the impeachment and arrest of left-wing president Pedro Castillo in December.
Protesters have burnt government buildings, blocked highways and occupied airports. They are demanding the resignation of newly appointed president, Dina Boluarte, quick general elections, a new constitution and Castillo's release.
Castillo is a former teachers' union leader who came to national prominence during the 2017 teachers' strike that lasted nearly three months. The son of illiterate peasants and a member of the moderate socialist party Free Peru, he contested the 2021 presidential election as an outsider but—much to the annoyance of Peru's political and business elites—narrowly won.
Castillo focused on the massive divide between the rich and the poor and promised there would be "no more poor people in a rich country".
His campaign struck a chord with Peru's workers, who have suffered from 30 years of neoliberal economic reforms that have stripped away social support while allowing the wealthiest 1 per cent to enrich themselves.
Every year billionaires from Peru are listed in Forbes magazine's list of world billionaires. Meanwhile, according to the United Nations, half the country lacks regular access to sufficient nutrition. During the COVID crisis, Peru had the highest death toll per capita in the world and its underfunded healthcare system was severely exposed.
Destabilisation
Peru's business elite and their backers in the conservative-dominated congress never accepted Castillo's election victory.
His opponent, Keiko Fujimori, the daughter of former autocratic president Alberto Fujimori (in jail for abusing human rights and embezzlement), immediately made unsubstantiated claims of electoral fraud and began leading marches demanding some results be annulled.
Meanwhile a letter signed by nearly 100 retired military officers called on the military not to recognise Castillo's victory. In the end, congress used the 1993 constitution, written under the authoritarian rule of Alberto Fujimori, to impeach Castillo.
This constitution gives congress the power to impeach presidents on the vague grounds of "moral incapacity".
Rather than mobilise his supporters, Castillo's strategy for dealing with the campaign of destabilisation was to move to the right and appease the establishment—following the dead end of left reformist parties elsewhere.
After a flight of capital out of the country following his victory on the first round of presidential voting, Castillo responded by assuring jittery investors that he would not be nationalising companies, that he would honour the rule of law and that "there is no Chavismo here"—referring to Hugo Chavez, who ruled Venezuela for 14 years until his death in 2013.
Castillo sacked his own prime minister, Guido Bellido, after Bellido threatened the gas company Camisea with nationalisation during negotiations over domestic prices and taxes. He also appointed "business-friendly" former central banker, Kurt Burneo, as minister of economy and finance.
But Castillo's efforts to appease the right failed, so he resorted to a constitutional manoeuvre to try to stop the impeachment process. He used emergency powers to dissolve congress and to rule by decree.
His manoeuvre was ruled illegal by the constitutional court. Congress impeached him hours later and he is currently facing charges of "rebellion" and "conspiracy".
Dina Boluarte, who was on Castillo's presidential ticket and his vice-president, became the new president. She is considered a safer pair of hands by Peru's elite, having been expelled from the Free Peru party after claiming she never embraced its ideology.
Boluarte has responded to the developing protests over Castillo's removal by declaring a state of emergency that curtailed people's rights and put the army, which has a record of human rights abuses, onto the streets to support the police.
More than 50 people have been killed by security forces, which human rights organisations accuse of using excessive force and of firing indiscriminately at protesters. Eighteen people were killed and over 100 injured in just one protest in Juliaca in early January.
The state violence, however, is just fuelling the protests and the determination of protesters to bring Boluarte down. She is clearly on the backfoot. Cabinet ministers have resigned and she has asked congress to bring the next election forward and has apologised for the deaths, but she is still refusing to resign.
A poll conducted by the Institute of Peruvian studies found that Boluarte has a disapproval rating of 71 per cent. Congress itself had a disapproval rating of 88 per cent.
As Solidarity goes to press, the grassroots-driven protests are continuing. This is the way forward for workers in Peru. If they can force Boluarte to resign, it will be a tremendous victory.

Colombia paralysed by protests against tax hikes and inequality
Millions of Colombians, at times up to 10 per cent of the population, have been on the streets for over a month against attempts to make ordinary people pay for the costs of the COVID crisis by the right-wing government of President Ivan Duque.
Resistance needed as far right president wins power in Brazil
Brazil has a far right president after Jair Bolsonaro won 55 per cent in the final run-off election. His surge in support is a product of Brazil's economic collapse and disillusionment with the Workers' Party.
Reform or revolution: 40 years since the coup in Chile
The coup in Chile showed how far the ruling class will go to maintain their rule, and why only workers' power can challenge them,...


In response to the ongoing budget impasse, I have introduced SB 1124, legislation requiring the legislature to remain in continuous session, meeting every day without leave, without pay, without reimbursements, and without per diems, if a complete budget is not passed and signed by July 1. The same goes for the governor, his senior staff and cabinet members.
Requires the legislature to vote on and pass a complete budget plan by May 1 – two months before the current deadline – in order to allow additional time for negotiations in case of a veto.
Requires any meetings between legislative leaders and the governor after June 30 be open to the public.
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, Pennsylvania's budget runs past the July 1 deadline 37 percent of the time. There is no question that entering a fiscal year without a finalized budget has potentially disastrous and widespread impacts. Other states have enacted measures to help avoid budget stalemates and to spur lawmakers to action when partisan gridlock begins to set in and it is time for Pennsylvania to do the same. In California, a legislator's pay can be suspended and Washington law allows legislators to be charged with a criminal misdemeanor for failing to pass an on-time budget.
When budgets run late, the legislature, the governor and the cabinet – not the people – should face consequences of not fulfilling their constitutional obligation to provide an on-time budget.
I hope you will join me in supporting this legislation.

Häagen-Dazs Japan creates "Heart Hunting Campaign" with 11 different hearts hiding in ice creams
RocketNews 24 (by Oona McGee):
Now there's something else to look forward to when opening a tub of ice cream.
Häagen-Dazs Japan has been tantalising frozen dessert lovers over the years with exclusive flavors like Chestnut and Adzuki Red Bean, Salty Vanilla and Caramel and even a couple of vegetable varieties. Now they've discovered a brand new way to get everyone's attention, and this time it's all about looks, with the shape of the ice cream in the tub taking center stage and different names given to the special markings, which are all centered around the love-heart concept.
▼ The new campaign is called "Häagen Heart Hunting".
The idea for the fun new marketing plan came about after the company's creative team tested 1,000 mini ice cream tubs to find what types of shapes naturally appear on the surface after opening the lid. After discovering the shape of a perfect heart in 2 of the 1,000 tubs, it was decided that the other designs could be seen as variations of the love-heart pattern, giving birth to a series of eleven "heart" shapes.
▼ The most coveted marking is the "Clear Heart", which was found in only two of the 1,000 tubs.
▼ Also found in only two of the tubs tested was the "Kiss Heart", which looks like a set of lips, and is said to bring the promise of romance to anyone who finds it.
▼ Another unique pattern, found in 2.1 percent of samples, is the "Goodbye Heart", which is divided in the middle, suggesting it's time to say goodbye and step forward anew.
▼ At 3.6 percent is the "Baby Heart", which includes a small crater companion, and is said to bring happiness and new encounters.
▼ A more common shape is the "Incipient Heart" (7.7 percent), which is just on the verge of taking on a heart-shaped form, like love about to blossom.
▼ The "Tears Heart" (10.4 percent) features a central tear, suggesting something will move your heart in the near future.
▼ The "Cheating Heart" (11.1 percent) is bulging out on one side, which can be taken to mean that something may happen to disturb you a little bit.
▼ More common is the "Gaping Hole Heart" (15.3 percent), which features a floating circle on the surface. Those who come across this shape are said to feel a slight sense of dissatisfaction with the everyday. Which could explain the reason for eating ice cream in the first place…
▼ And the most common of all, at 26.5 percent, is the "Smile Heart", which suggests something lovely will happen to make you smile unexpectedly.
▼ Out of all the hearts in the collection, there are two super rare varieties: the "Positive Heart" which is raised on the surface and has the promise of positivity. It's said to appear in only 0.1 percent of tubs.
▼ And the "Perfect Heart", which is said to make rare, phantom-like appearances, as the most rarefied and beautiful version of the "Clear Heart". Those who come across a beauty like this are believed to receive incredible happiness.
Ice cream lovers in Japan have embraced the fun nature of the campaign, posting photos of their findings on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram

Häagen-Dazs Japan's new ice cream flavor will taste like yogurt and honey
Häagen-Dazs Japan has announced another tantalizing new flavor, and we're already wondering what the combination of dairy and honey will taste like!
Yes, their new mini cup ice cream flavor, scheduled to be released on April 19th at supermarkets and convenience stores across Japan, is going to be "Honey and Milk (Yogurt-style)."
So, does that make this product a yogurt-like ice cream or an ice cream-like yogurt? Well, whichever it is, honey and milk has to be a winning combination, right?
According to the product description on the company's website, the mini cup Honey and Milk is made of a rich milk-based ice cream prepared with a "yogurt-like flavor" and mixed with a subtly sweet honey sauce. It actually contains heat-sterilized fermented milk, giving it the sour-yet-refreshing taste of yogurt. Add honey sauce to that and the result is bound to be delightful, especially considering how tasty actual yogurt and honey are together!
The Honey and Milk ice cream will come in a 110 milliliter (3.7 ounce) cup at a price of 294 yen (US$2.59).

Häagen-Dazs Japan's newest flavor: Lemon Ginger Float
One of the few fun things about having a sore throat or something nastier like tonsillitis is that you have a legitimate excuse to lie on the couch in front of the TV and eat ice-cream.
And now – although we're imagining makers Häagen-Dazs is hoping that more than just the sickly few will appreciate it – there's a brand new flavor that sounds perfect for those feeling a little under the weather: Lemon Ginger Float.
A combination of thick, milky ice cream and lemon ginger sorbet containing actual lemon zest, this mini tub is bound to cure what ails ya*. Available for a limited time only (don't worry, there are plenty of other flavours to take its place), the mini-cups go on sale from today in Japan priced 263 yen (US$2.50) excluding tax.
▼ Be sure to stress the health benefits of ginger and lemon when asking your loved one to go out and buy this for you
Even if you're not feeling ill, you might as well pick up a few tubs of this just in case. After all, there's no use waiting until you're poorly and in urgent need of throat-soothing sustenance, now is there?

Häagen-Dazs Japan lifts the lid on new Japanese Chestnut, Pumpkin, Sweet Potato treats
The folks at Häagen-Dazs Japan clearly know they're onto a good thing with their special-edition ice creams, and there seems to be no stopping their creativity. With Japonais, Rose and Sakura, and even Vegetable flavors all appearing within the last six months alone, there's seemingly always something sweet on the horizon. And now, before summer has even had a chance to break in its beach sandals, the ice cream giant has unveiled three decidedly autumnal flavors.
They may be arriving little early in the year, but it's hard to make fun of a company that keeps on delivering in the taste department, and we have to admit that Häagen-Dazs new offerings do sound rather appealing.
From August 8, ice cream fans will be able to pick up a mini cup of new Waguri (Japanese Chestnut) ice cream, along with a deliciously mauve Sweet Potato Crispy Sandwich.
A month later on September 8, the limited-edition Pumpkin ice cream will go on sale. All three have a suggested retail price of 263 yen (US$2.59) excluding tax, which seems about right for products carrying Häagen-Dazs's exotic European (although ultimately made up) name.
Rest assured we'll give these a good ol' nibble when they become available and let you know if they're safe for consumption!

Many said Matt Yoder was the most handsome Amish bachelor in the county, maybe even the country. When he contacted Jane and asked her to return to the community where she grew up, she was convinced all her prayers had been answered. She'd always dreamed of marrying Matt and having a large family.
Her dream turned into a nightmare when she discovered he asked her to come home to help him select a bride. He was tired of being single and declared he would be married by Christmas. He had narrowed his search to five women and was having trouble deciding between them.
Since Matt had always overlooked Jane, was it already too late?
Or can she find a way to make him see that she is and always has been his perfect Amish match?
