The Initiate @ The Roundabout Southbank Centre
Paines Plough comes up with a delightful pop-up theatre concept that is meant to go around the country taking theatre to the people. I applaud such an idea especially as it aims to divulge new writing and I welcome the fresh thoughts that many new playwrights are bringing to the landscape of theatre. Without them, theatre would not be moving forward and we would be living on old stories that are on repeat.
Simplicity and efficacy are the two words to describe George Perrin's style of directing in this play. It speaks of a Somali taxi-driver who has lived in London for enough time to call it home. However, his skin colour and ethnicity is still different and he will always be a stranger to the British people. It is to this climate of suspicion and prejudice that arrives the news that Somali pirates have seized a British couple and are asking for a ransom. After his son's been bullied at school for looking like one of the pirates, this particularly moves Dalmar – our cab driver – into action. He himself flies to Somalia, having fundraised money for the ransom and attempts negotiation.
Three actors form the cast: Sidney Cole as Dalmar and Sian Reese-Williams along with Abdul Salis embodying all of the other minor characters. They all do a tremendous job at keeping us engaged throughout a lengthy play with no set to behold at and barely any physical actions. The circular movement of the characters is spurred by the tension in the dialogue and it also conveniently gives the audience different perspectives of the scene as this is set in the round. It definitely is an interesting plot with intense performances, however I didn't quite feel the danger of the high-stake situations.
The play is heavily based on Alexandra Wood's words, but we know that theatre is not just text, and perhaps I would have enjoyed watching other sides to these characters rather than just hearing the words they speak. Often there is a lot we mean to say but never say it – this is a characteristic of contemporary speech and it is down to the director and performers to read what is not written and to perform beyond the words in the page. 3.5/5

Why Isn't Anyone Talking About Iranian Election Interference for Biden?
The only election interference that the Democrats want to talk about is Russia, Russia, Russia. Meanwhile they're ignoring the warnings about Iran's election
November 1, 2020 by Daniel Greenfield Leave a Comment
The only election interference that the Democrats want to talk about is Russia, Russia, Russia. Meanwhile they're ignoring the warnings about Iran's election interference.
Iranian hackers have been targeting U.S. state government websites in "an intentional effort to influence and interfere with the 2020 U.S. presidential election," according to an investigation by the FBI and the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
The hackers have "successfully obtained voter registration data in at least one state," the FBI and CISA advisory report published Friday said.
The FBI released its own flash bulletin in coordination with CISA and the Department of Homeland Security alleging that Iranian "advanced persistent threat" actors "are creating fictitious media sites and spoofing legitimate media sites to spread anti-American propaganda and misinformation about voter suppression."
Whom would the Iranians favor?
President Trump, who cut off the money pipeline to the Islamic terrorist regime, or Joe Biden, whose former administration covertly and illegally sent billions to Iran, and whose policy proposes to turn the money tap back on to fund terrorism around the region and the world?
The candidate with a history of ties to the Iran lobby who proposed sending a $200 million check to Iran after 9/11.
. "Seems to me this would be a good time to send, no strings attached, a check for $200 million to Iran," Biden declares.
Waging a presidential campaign amid rising tensions with Iran 12 years ago, Joe Biden, then a senator from Delaware, had a warning for President George W. Bush should he decide to take military action without congressional authorization.
"I want it on the record, and I want to make it clear," Biden said. "If he does, I will move to impeach him."
Kaveh Mohseni, a spokesman for the Student Movement Coordination Committee for Democracy in Iran, calls Biden "a great friend of the mullahs." He notes that Bidens election campaigns "have been financed by Islamic charities of the Iranian regime based in California and by the Silicon Iran network," a loosely-knit group of wealthy Iranian-American businessmen and women seeking to end the U.S. trade embargo on Iran. "In exchange, the senator does his best to aid the mullahs," Mohseni argues.
Biden's ties to pro-Tehran lobbying groups are no secret.
But what's Iran actually doing?
The Iranian hackers suspected of posing as the Proud Boys and sending threatening emails to potentially thousands of American voters accessed voter registration data in at least one state, US federal officials said Friday evening.
Some threatening emails that were sent last week to voters in multiple states, including Florida and Alaska, read, "You will vote for Trump on Election Day or we will come after you."
The emails were made to look as if they had been sent by the Proud Boys, a hate group embraced by President Donald Trump at the first debate, but were actually the work of Iranian hackers, US intelligence and law enforcement agencies announced last week. Some of the emails included the home addresses of the voters the messages were sent to.
This is the election interference that Democrats won't talk about.

18 漆黒の列車はいくつかの嘘を運ぶ
The Jet-Black Train Carries Several Lies
As the train continues on its journey to the Old Masquerade, Victorique decides to explain to Kazuya and the two ladies who helped them get up the train what actually happened during the murder of Simon Hunt. Using a length of rope, she ties up the hands of the two strangers and covered them with a handkerchief. With Victorique's command, the younger of the two pulls away her hand, with ease.
Victorique explains that the hands of Morella and Simon when the trick is performed were tied using a slipknot, a knot commonly used by escape artists, and it would make it easy for Morella to stab Simon inside the box.
However, with that part of Simon's death solved, Victorique is certain that there is still a piece of the puzzle missing.
While she begins to feel the chills of the night, Victorique, Kazuya and the two ladies are accompanied by a blond young man and an older burly-looking man.
It turns out that the incident that sunk the Beelzebub's Skull has caused a surprising increase in passengers inside the train, and with even the hallways packed with people, the two men decide to try their luck with getting a more comfortable space. They were fortunate in the end, and in his joy, the well-built man decides that it is best to introduce themselves to each other.
The soft-spoken girl with a plaid skirt takes her turn first. According to her, she is an orphan looking for her own birthday, and participates in the Phantasmagoria to look for someone who knows her birthday in her fears of being lost in Hades.
The "orphan" soon gives the turn to introduce to the older lady beside her. She calls herself "the scarecrow", someone who acts as a lookout on a farm.
Kazuya suspects that the introduction is some kind of game, and even the burly man knows of it, so he decides to play along. The gruff man calls himself a "knight", a man racing through the land with this trusted steed, finishing off his enemies left and right.
The last of the four strangers soon spoke. The young blond man introduces himself as "the woodcutter", a timid man who is not interested in achieving great feats.
With the four finished in their turn to talk about themselves, they turn to Kazuya and Victorique. Victorique swiftly describes her and Kazuya as "an ancient, proud Gray Wolf and his dullard servant". Kazuya is offended by being called a dullard, but a flick on his forehead is more than enough to silence him.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Brian Roscoe speaks about the Masquerade. He and Cordelia Gallo stand on the shores of what was once the only access point to the Beelzebub's Skull, now completely surrounded by water. Brian soon wonders if the Wolf Cub (Victorique) will be able to recover the Memento Box, and Cordelia expresses her confidence that her daughter will accomplish the feat; in fact, Victorique must, for it will be the key that will protect her from the incoming war.
With their mission now in the hands of a young girl, Brian Roscoe and Cordelia Gallo can only watch from a distance and give their trust to her.
Later that night, Kazuya reads in the newspaper about the disappearance of a certain Miss Leglant, a case that is going on in Sauville while they travel in Lithuania. He soon asks Victorique about what she was about to say before being cut off by a fit of colds. Victorique tells him that it involves a specific memento box... a memento box of someone's life. And she needs to find the truth about it.
All of a sudden, all of the train's lights inside are turned off, and the train suddenly veers uncontrollably.
It only took a short moment, and when the lights are turned on again, Kazuya finds himself sitting on Victorique's little thighs, hurting the little girl a bit. The "scarecrow" notices that Victorique has been sneezing far too often and decides to look for a change of clothes for her and Kazuya. Meanwhile, the "orphan" shows a frantic expression in her face for a while, as if something in her possession is missing. Soon she calms herself; she then asks the "knight" to follow the "scarecrow" and ask her to borrow something on her behalf. As the "knight" leaves, the "woodcutter" decides to follow him, but the "knight" asks him to stay, as it is a knight's duty to fulfill a princess's request.
The train continues on its course, and the "scarecrow" is looking outside while holding a certain object in her hand. Soon, the "knight" confronts her and asks her if she is going for a rendezvous at such an unusual place. The "scarecrow" is forced to attack the "knight", but his quick reflexes are more than enough to counter the woman's attack.
The "knight" stabs the "scarecrow" with the very weapon she wielded and demands that the thing she stole be returned to him. However, the "scarecrow" only responded with a devious grin.
Kazuya and Victorique have no idea about what is going on between the "knight" and the "scarecrow", and even the "orphan" is getting impatient. Kazuya decides to apologize to the "orphan" for having her personal life exposed, and this short conversation seems uncomfortable for Victorique.
Soon, Kazuya sees a woman dressed in yellow roll down outside, and before he could tell more about what he saw, Victorique stops him as the "knight" comes in with a change of clothes.
They decide to use the clothes they got from the "knight" and changed in the storage room, where Victorique confirms that she has an idea of what Kazuya saw a moment ago. She also confirms that the person he saw tumbling down outside is the "scarecrow", and suspects that she works for either the Ministry of the Occult or the Academy.
Victorique realizes that they are in the middle of a sinister masquerade, and they should be able to escape unharmed if they are lucky. Also, she needs to gather more fragments of chaos, since she suspects that in the middle of the masquerade is something very important.
Victorique soon exits the room where she changed her clothes and emerges dressed in a French maid's outfit; meanwhile, Kazuya is dressed like a manservant working in some rich family estate. Kazuya momentarily takes the time to praise how Victorique looks, but it only awarded him a kick in the shin from the embarrassed girl.
Kazuya and Victorique soon pass by the radio room, where the "woodcutter" is seen listening to someone, although he later dismisses that fact. The "orphan" and the "knight" soon appear and were actually looking for them since they are taking too long. The "woodcutter" soon proposes drinking until the next morning, an offer that the "knight" did not refuse. Of course, Victorique and Kazuya tag along as well.
In the train's dining area, they sit in a table while a jar filled with raisins is placed in the middle. After vodka is poured into the jar, the jar itself is lighted. Victorique tells her companions that it is a game that involves quickly snatching raisins using one's hand from a flaming jar and stating a wish after one eats the raisin.
Kazuya decides to go first, but Victorique insists — in a rather painful way — that someone else should take the first turn. The "woodcutter" decides to go first, and after eating the very hot raisin, he tells that he wishes to see his hometown in spring. The "orphan" soon takes her turn and wishes for the "woodcutter" safety in his trip home. She drank from her glass twice, and Victorique shows alarm in her face as the "orphan" empties her glass.
However, it is too late to warn the "orphan". She staggers to the floor as she finds it hard to breathe. As Kazuya checks the "orphan"'s condition, Victorique confronts the "woodcutter", whom she suspects as the one who poisoned the "orphan".
According to Victorique, everyone's glasses have poison in it, and it is placed at the bottom of the glass. It takes time for the poison to disperse throughout the whole glass itself, so the "woodcutter" quickly drinks his before the poison could spread. The "orphan" was unlucky, since she almost emptied the glass, so she was able to drink the poisoned water as well.
The "knight" is enraged by what the "woodcutter" has done and attacks using the dagger he got from the "scarecrow", but the "woodcutter" fires his pistol, causing the "knight" to fall to the ground with a bleeding side.
Victorique is unfazed in front of an armed man as she exposes the identity of the "woodcutter" as a Lesglant, and asks him about the one responsible for the masquerade inside the train. Before the "woodcutter" could answer, the "orphan" arms herself with a revolver and fires at the "woodcutter", hitting him on his leg. She then picks up a red box from the "knight"'s pocket — the same red box that she was looking for earlier — and walks off.
Kazuya tries to pursue the "orphan", but the "knight" stops him. He realizes that they will die with the rest of the train, and reveals that the train is rigged to be derailed at the designated time. The "knight" thinks that killing everyone is better than to have someone from the Ministry of the Occult steal the box in the "orphan"'s hands.
The "knight" decides to pursue the "orphan" and locks Kazuya and Victorique in the dining area.
Meanwhile, the "woodcutter" tells them to go to the locomotive and stop the train. Kazuya decides to do that job himself, but Victorique insists on accompanying him. Kazuya soon carries Victorique to the locomotive and discovers that they are pursued by the "knight". Fortunately, they jumped to the coal chute before the train enters the tunnel, while the unfortunate "knight" fails.
Victorique and Kazuya finally reach the locomotive, where the "orphan" is. She is severely weakened by the poison she ingested earlier, and Kazuya goes to the "orphan". Although she refuses Kazuya's help, Kazuya remains stubborn in reminding the "orphan" on how important life is. The "orphan" soon sees that there is no time, so in her final words, she tells Kazuya and Victorique about the bomb in the next bridge. The "orphan" finally succumbs to the poison, with the word "Mother" escaping from her last breath.
As Kazuya's head hangs low over the "orphan" dying, Victorique picks up the "orphan"'s gun and tries to fire at the target several hundred meters away. However, after two shots, she misses. Victorique realizes that firing a target at that distance would be impossible, and the make things worse, there is only one bullet left. Kazuya decides to try it himself, but Victorique is determined to fulfill what her mother Cordelia has entrusted to her.
Kazuya soon takes her to the front end of the train. With the bridge fast approaching, Victorique aims at the trigger mechanism in the middle of the bridge, only dependent with the theories of holding a gun. Kazuya then helps her stabilize her aim, and in one shot...
...they saved the train.
The train soon stops on its own after the only people who are feeding the train fuel have been killed by the "orphan", and the passengers leave the train unharmed. Victorique soon confronts the "woodcutter", whom she identifies as the brother of the Leglant who mysteriously disappeared. It turns out that he was used by the Ministry of the Occult as an impromptu spy in exchange for the safety of her sister who is in the ministry's custody.
And it all returns to the memento box.
Victorique decides to open the contents of the box, and it contained a person's umbilical cord, a self-portrait, a perfume bottle, and a note that says "Don't turn around": symbols of birth, the juvenile years, falling in love, and failure, respectively. She notices that the Memento Box is not yet complete, and its owner is still alive.
And the memento box is found under an old house, in a "nameless village". The owner of the Memento Box is none other than Jupiter Roget, from Saillune. It reveals that Jupiter Roget is, like Victorique and Cordelia, a Gray Wolf from a "nameless village". A revelation that would shake the balance of power in the government.
With the fragments of chaos reconstructed, Victorique decides to give the Memento Box to the "woodcutter", as she knows that he needs it to save his sister.
Kazuya still has worries that the Memento Box is going to fall in the Marquis' hands, but Victorique is assured, now that she has solved the riddle given to her by her own mother.
However, she is now more determined to push on, now that she holds the trump card in her hands.

Global CO2 emissions "stalled" in 2014
(Tinmoitruong.vn) - The growth in global carbon emissions stalled last year, according to data from the International Energy Agency.
Greenhouse gas emissions may finally be decoupling from economic growth
It marks the first time in 40 years that annual CO2 emissions growth has remained stable, in the absence of a major economic crisis, the agency said.
Annual global emissions remained at 32 gigatonnes in 2014, unchanged from the previous year.
But the IEA warned that while the results were "encouraging", this was "no time for complacency".
"This is both a very welcome surprise and a significant one," said IEA Chief Economist Fatih Birol.
"It provides much-needed momentum to negotiators preparing to forge a global climate deal in Paris in December: for the first time, greenhouse gas emissions are decoupling from economic growth."
And IEA Executive Director Maria van der Hoeven said while the data was "encouraging", this was "no time for complacency" and "certainly not the time to use this positive news as an excuse to stall further action".
Changing patterns
Analysts attribute the slowdown in emissions to changing patterns of energy consumption in China and OECD countries.
Prof Corinne Le Quere, of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research at the University of East Anglia, said: "An important factor could be that China's coal consumption fell in 2014, driven by their efforts to fight pollution, use energy more efficiently and deploy renewables.
"Efforts to reduce emissions elsewhere will have played a role, but there are also more random factors such as the weather and the relative price of oil, coal and gas."
The IEA said changing patterns of energy use in China and in OECD countries, including the shift towards more renewable energy, was having the desired effect of decoupling economic growth from greenhouse emissions.
The Paris-based organisation said that in the 40 years it had been collecting data on carbon dioxide emissions, annual emissions had stalled or fallen only three other times, which were all associated with global downturns:
• after the US recession in the early 1980s
• in 1992 after the collapse of the former Soviet Union
• in 2009 during the global financial crisis
Full details of the IEA report will be released in June, ahead of UN negotiations to sign a new international climate change agreement at talks in Paris in December.
Countries are aiming to reach agreement on a deal that will come into force from 2020.
The aim is to limit the increase of the average global surface temperature to no more than 2C (3.6F) compared with pre-industrial levels, to avoid "dangerous" climate change.
Energy and Climate Change Secretary Ed Davey said the figures showed that green growth is achievable not just for Britain but for the world.
He added: "However we cannot be complacent - we need to dramatically cut emissions, not just stop their growth.
"Getting a new global climate deal is absolutely vital, and the year ahead is going to be of critical importance."

Basketball Hall of Fame 2021 حفل
Posted by: Oliver Walton
Posted in: sport
The Basketball Hall of Fame received the class of 2021, in a version in which 6 players from NBA Honorees: Chris Bosh, Tony Kocock, Paul Pierce, Ben Wallace, Chris Webber and Bon Dandridge. The WNBA was also represented with legends Lauren Jackson and Yolanda Griffith.
The ceremony included several words that affected basketball fans and other players in the league.
"I wasn't welcome, I was too young, and couldn't play as they expected. Sounds like an unfair thing, right? Put me on the same level and you'll see what I can do," was what I said from the tip Ben Wallace, who became the first non-designated NBA player to receive this honor and took the opportunity to claim racial equality.
Tony Kucock appreciated the Chicago Bulls for the opportunity to play in the United States, and joked a bit about having Michael Jordan with him. "I want to thank this gentleman (Jordan) and Scottie Pippen for kicking my ass at the Barcelona Olympics," Kocock commented with a laugh.
For his part, Chris Webber has shown all the love and admiration he has for another league legend, Isaiah Thomas. He said, "When I was a kid, he gave his support to me, telling me that if I needed something, anything, he would be there for me. He explained that we are more than basketball players. He was my guardian angel."
Loyal to his character, Paul Pierce thanked his critics, who led him to strive to become one of the best players in history, said: "Thank you to those who didn't believe in me and saved the fuel to get here."

Have You Ever Heard of This Amazing Remedy for Canker Sores?
It is not fun to have a canker sore inside your mouth. Once you have them, they may stay for quite a few days. You can get over-the-counter medication from a drug store, but even with that, it may take 2-3 days to heal. Besides, that stuff hurts when you put it on the lesion.
About 5 years ago, my Mom learned from a TV program a simple way to heal canker sores.
She was having a rather severe case of canker sores at that time, so she was very serious in following the directions.
It turned out that eating kiwi fruit does the trick. The important thing is that you need to consume 5 kiwis at a time.
My mother went out and bought a bag of kiwi fruit, and the next day, her problem was gone. My entire family have tried this remedy in the last few years and it works. After just one treatment, the lesion is gone, except once, it needed a repeat treatment in order to clear the lesion.
Why am I writing this? Because I had a canker sore on my tongue a couple days ago, and I made a kiwi shake and drank it. The next day, it was gone, and I no longer felt any pain by that evening. So, I wanted to share with everyone this simple method to resolve an annoying problem.

I have nothing but praise for your writing. I will definitely use this service in the future!
With the increasing demand for nurses that have comprehensive leadership skills, it's becoming important for students to undertake DNP research-based programs. A DNP stands for a Doctor of Nursing Practice. It is a specialized degree program that focuses on how a disease progresses from the onset.
The nursing research program is undertaken from a terminal perspective, allowing the student to develop core skills in the process. In fact, most DNP graduates tend to become independent practitioners. And over the years, DNP has shown to have critical links to other medical fields such as dentistry and psychology.
How Long Does the DNP Research Program Take?
The institution. Some institutions offer crash programs that enable the student to undertake more units in a shorter period of time. If you are looking to finish quick, you should apply to an institution that offers this kind of program. It's great to do research beforehand and discover the one that suits you.
Your career goals. What do you aspire to achieve? Perhaps you would like to be the head-figure at a hospital one day. Or maybe you prefer a more hands-on approach with patients. Well, all these considerations will factor in once you begin your DNP program. And depending on which path you take, the program might be longer or shorter.
Your personality traits. Your emotional levels and stress management are also important factors that will determine how fast you will complete the program. Are you able to handle the pressure of the curriculum? Or do you break easily once the workload piles up… Are you self-motivated? Or rely on the influence of others to get work done? It's great to do a self-assessment before undertaking the program.
Finances. Undertaking a BSN program is an expensive affair and requires your finances to be in order. To do this, you can apply for government student loans, or get a part-time job to meet your living expenses and tuition fees.
We also recommend that while undertaking the program, ensure you are located on the institution's campus. Not only does it help you achieve helpful peer interaction, but also you get to receive a more comprehensive hands-on experience. However, if you are strapped for both finances and time, an online program would be preferable.
What Will You Learn in the DNP Research Program?
Research methods. Developing efficient research skills is critical for every nurse. It helps you think on your feet, and come up with effective strategies that increase the chances of survival for a patient. Moreover, research is a fundamental core for developing one's career. From writing dissertations to completing capstone projects, a medical student should always polish their research skills.
The historical and philosophical approach to nursing science. You will finally get to learn how the career of nursing came into existence. From its humble roots to be the most fundamental component that successfully runs any health facility.
Statistical and data analysis. The health of a country and a region as a whole is important information to the government because it helps to plan for the allocation and distribution of sufficient funds to the health sector. Therefore, data analysis carried out by qualified nurses is very progressive to the health-care system.
Great salary. In the United States, for example, the annual salary for a DNP nurse in a leadership role is about $98,500 annually.

Ajit Pawar's supporters project him as future CM of Maharashtra
An NCP activist said they are hopeful that Ajit Pawar will take oath as deputy chief minister on Thursday along with Thackeray as CM.

Nationalist Congress Party leader Ajit Pawar (File | PTI)
PUNE: A poster projecting prodigal NCP leader Ajit Pawar as future chief minister of Maharashtra cropped up in his home constituency Baramati in Pune district on Wednesday.
The poster bears photos of Ajit Pawar and his uncle Sharad Pawar, whose party is the key constituent of newly- formed 'Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi' (MVA) which also comprises the Shiv Sena and the Congress.
The poster came up on the eve of swearing-in of Sena president and the Aghadi nominee Uddhav Thackeray in Mumbai.
"Dada (Ajit), you won the assembly elections by the highest margin in Maharashtra which has accepted your leadership. Maharashtra needs you and you cannot stop now," reads the message on the poster which is in Marathi.
"Entire Maharashtra is looking at you as a future chief minister. Now, let us take the decision what you have to do," it said.
"We want to see him as chief minister of the state in future," he added.

Ajit Pawar had caused a stir in Maharashtra politics when he "revolted" on November 23 to align with the BJP which went on to form a government.
He even took oath as deputy chief minister under Devendra Fadnavis who sworn in as chief minister.
However, after four days on November 26, the Fadnavis government collapsed after Ajit Pawar resigned as deputy CM citing personal reasons, forcing Fadnavis to throw in the towel the same day.
Earlier on Wednesday, Ajit Pawar, who was sacked as the NCP legislature party leader last Saturday, attended a meeting of his party legislators in Mumbai.
He was never expelled from the NCP for the "revolt".
Ajit Pawar turning up at the meeting gave rise to the speculation that he may be rehabilitated.

Q: how to dynamically join tables in bigquery to avoid duplication of common columns I have 2 tables with a large number of columns (each has around 700-800 columns, which makes it not feasible to individually write all the column names). Both the tables have a few common rows. I need to dynamically union both the tables such that the common columns don't get repeated and are queried only once in the final table. For example:
TABLE 1:

It was only chance that there were seven months separating the inauguration of two Contemporary Painting Museums that, at two opposite ends of the world, have made Figuration its banner. They did not know each other, they knew nothing of their existence from each other and very little of the artists in each of them represented. They were, in conclusion, two very distant worlds that have come to be in an identical sensitivity to the art of our day.
I suppose that the same surprise that I had when receiving the visit of Hiroko Hoki in Barcelona to propose collaboration and friendship, was the one Masao Hoki would have at the time to learn of the existence of a sister museum in distant Europe, moved by similar ones criteria of management and aesthetics.
For me, it has been exciting to be able to collaborate with a family that is capable of creating an institution like the Hoki. That can conceive such a Museum and entrust to a prestigious architectural firm the construction of a building specially designed to house its collections and that has earned the Japanese Architecture Award. That gives body to a collection of works of art of such magnitude and that present them with such dignity. And finally, it is an honor that we are in charge of presenting, for the first time in Europe, the work of a whole generation of artists that will surprise not a few visitors from all over the world.
I sincerely believe that this exhibition of current Japanese artists will arouse the admiration of my European fellow citizens and deserve more than interesting comments outside our borders. The official world of art can not continue to ignore the strength, the category and the decision with which Figuration is invading and all corners of the contemporary. The return to respect for tradition as the basis of the creative act to make the leap to the new expressiveness of the 21st century is already an indisputable fact. And the quality of the work that is being presented all over the world is already of an absolutely irresistible power.
I am sure that this first step of collaboration between our two Museums will continue in many fruitful acts of collaboration between both institutions.
We share some images of what has been the workshop with Japanese artist Osamu Obi today.
On the occasion of the exhibition of works of the Museum of Hoki in the European Museum of Modern Art (MEAM) from September 20 to December 2, 2018, on September 19 was held at the official residence a reception with assistance of the organizers and artists involved. Likewise, the following day, Consul General Naohito Watanabe attended the inauguration ceremony held at the MEAM, where he offered a parliament with the director Mr. Infiesta, the public relations manager of the Hoki Museum Mr. Yasuda and the representative of the artists Mr. Noda. The Consul General highlighted the celebration of the 150th Anniversary of the establishment of relations between Japan and Spain, of which the present exhibition is a commemorative event, and expressed his hope that it contributes to a strengthening of the artistic exchange between both countries. The inauguration event had more than 500 attendees and was a success.
On Wednesday, September 19, the Japanese painters took part in the Japanese Contemporary Realism exhibition that can be seen at the MEAM from 20/09 to 2/12 of 2018.
The European Museum of Modern Art (MEAM), an entity that promotes and disseminates figurative art of the 20th and 21st centuries, will present for the first time in Europe the work of the most prestigious contemporary Japanese artists, in the field of figuration and realism. From September 21, will host the exhibition 'Contemporary Japanese Realism', which brings together the 60 most outstanding works of the permanent fund of the Hoki Museum in Tokyo, the first museum in Japan dedicated exclusively to the current realistic painting.
Female figures endowed with the sensibility and exquisiteness of Japanese art or carefully worked landscapes are some of the main reasons that will form the exhibition. 'Contemporary Japanese Realism' will feature the participation of 14 Japanese painters of great prestige, among which the pioneer Hiroshi Noda (1936) or Masayuki Hara (1956).
As a correspondence, starting in 2019, the MEAM will organize a large collective exhibition with more than 50 current figurative Spanish artists in the Hoki Museum and other points of reference in Japan. Later, he will present an anthological sample of the Hungarian painter Istvan Sandorfi.
The MEAM (Museu Europeu d'Art Modern) exposes from June 22 to July 29, 2018 the works selected in the V Contest ModPortrait of figurative painting in portrait mode and showing that the bar of this international contest is every time higher. Prior to his visit to Barcelona, his promoter, José Enrique González, director of the Galería ArteLibre, will show next June 3 at the Pablo Serrano Museum the result of his efforts, at an evening in which the first prize will be presented. Fifth edition. Conor Walton was the winner for an oil portrait under the title "The key". Six honorable mentions will also be given to painters whose works stand out among all the participants. Among them we can mention the works of Marcos Rey, Carmen Mansilla or Iván Franco.
Worthy culmination of the long series of activities carried out in the MEAM, since the opening of the exhibition on Mujeres Artistas Hoy, started on March 8, is this anthological exhibition of the work of the sculptor Luisa Granero.
To organize this exhibition, the son of Luisa Granero has made available to the MEAM the entire legacy of Luisa Granero: Hundreds of sculptures, oil paintings, notes, personal notes, etc., etc. The result is the most complete anthological of his work, with many sculptures made in terracotta, plaster, bronze and marble, with many different oils and paintings, and with works by many well-known artists (Mallol Suazo, Ernest Santasusagna, Lluís Muntaner, Jaume Otero , Martí Llauradó, etc.) in which she herself is the model.
An authentic example of how a woman, made to herself, and with the sole weapon of her will, can achieve all the goals that have been proposed in life.
The sculptor Joan Seguranyes i Redorta was born in Vic in 1932, son of the sculptor Jaume Seguranyes i Solá. He studied at the Municipal School of Vic and at the Escola d'Arts i Oficis of Barcelona (Llotja), helping in the workshop of Josep Clarà. He has participated in several collective exhibitions and, since 1970, in individual exhibitions in a multitude of Catalan and Spanish locations. Gold Medal of Sculpture of the City Council of Vic and Silver Medal of the I International Exhibition of Aix-en-Provence.
The sculptor has donated the "Legacy Seguranyes" to the Fundació de les Arts i els Artistes, a set consisting of 25 sculptures of different materials (terracotta, plaster and bronze) and numerous drawings. All of them will become part of the Foundation's funds. To make them known to the general public, the MEAM will organize an exhibition that will open on April 12, 2018 on the second floor of the Museum.
On Thursday, March 8, coinciding with the celebration of International Women's Day, the MEAM presents an exhibition of Spanish artists, painters and sculptors, who show the best that is being done today in the field of contemporary figuration. The MEAM has made a selection, among the remarkable current production, to present the latest works that women have made and are doing in the plastic arts.
On November 17, 1917, Auguste Rodin died at his home in Meudon, France. The extensive work he did throughout his life had shown an incredible ability to travel the long distance that separated the prolific academicism of the mid-nineteenth century from the brutal expressiveness of the twentieth century.
In the same month of the centenary of the death of the French master, the European Museum of Modern Art (MEAM) exposes the work of another young artist who aspires to find his own language to make a leap as ambitious as that of the visionary Rodin. In the same way as the French genius, his work is not a static work, but is in constant transformation, surprising itself with the most original ideas.
The MEAM presents from November 30 the exhibition 'The Rodin of the XXI Century', in reference to the Polish artist Gregorz Gwiazda (Poland, 1984), considered one of the most advanced disciples of the great French sculptor of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Humanity, strength, old age, humor and decadence are some of the features that are present in this show. José Manuel Infiesta, director of the MEAM, explains that "in every detail of Gwiazda's work there is a contained force, an expressivity so brutal that it drags us into the depths of ourselves".
Gwiazda studied at the Fine Arts schools of Poznan and Warsaw, and later at the Accademia di Belle Art di Brera in Milan, Italy. His works have been shown in individual exhibitions in several Polish cities, such as Lidzbark, Warminski, Warsaw, Poznan, Mosina or Bydgoszcz, among others, and in group exhibitions in Poland, Madrid and Barcelona.
In a return to the origins of the Lied, Jams de Lied are organized periodically, sessions that take place in different areas of the city and where the initial spirit of this genre is claimed, more spontaneous and informal, but above all, closer .
During these Jams, the intention is to recover this community and creation environment, where artists meet in "incognito duets", a kind of blind date to make music spontaneously between singers and pianists. Giving surprising results, as happens with other musical genres, in a space open to everyone, both artists and music lovers.
This Jam de Lied, which will take place in the Palau Gomis of the MEAM as an incomparable setting, is special since we will celebrate that it is the official fixed headquarters of the JAMS DE LIED, with the support of the Victoria de los Ángeles Foundation and the LIFE Victoria Festival .
To celebrate the centenary of the death of the best European sculptor of the 20th century, Auguste Rodin, in November 1917, MEAM will present, from December 1st, 2017, the first great anthological exhibition of the work of the Polish sculptor Grzegorz Gwiazda, that we consider with category and personality sufficient to be able to be considered like "the Rodin of the 21st century".

ANALYSIS: Joining the dots…the Australian way.
When Business Events Sydney (BESydney) threw down the gauntlet in search of ways to determine conference benefits beyond tourism, a small group of academics, unknown to the meetings industry, rose to the challenge.
That was nearly a decade ago, and the work they've done so far has not only provided BESydney with the tools to identify and measure the less-tangible values of business events for host destinations; it's redefining how conferences and meetings are organised, funded, marketed, consumed and evaluated across the globe.
Associate Professors Carmel Foley and Deborah Edwards from the University of Technology, Sydney – who are keynote speakers at the inaugural Business Events Leaders' Summit at the SEC in Glasgow on March 21 – are leading the way in the quest to quantify what many thought immeasurable.
"BESydney believed conferences gave host destinations a lot more than just a financial boost from tourism, but there was no evidence or methodology available to prove it. They provided a small amount of funding and they wanted it yesterday, but it was just that challenge that excited us," said Foley.
The academics then built five case studies focusing on the contributions and outcomes of conferences for delegates, industry, the community and other stakeholders.
"We started to see that the 'bums on seats' mentality and counting tourism dollars were the overt yardsticks used to evaluate success, but they were just the tip of the iceberg in terms of conference outcomes. The rest was so much more powerful and so much more significant. We presented them with our report and they were over the moon," added Foley.
BESydney took the report to the NSW State Government, which at the time was deliberating over whether to go ahead with funding and approval for Sydney's $1.5bn International Convention Centre (ICC).
Once the benefits of the relationship between industry and research were clear, more formal and directed research projects were initiated.
IN OCTOBER last year, the academics' book, 'The Power of Conferences – Stories of serendipity, innovation and driving social change' was published to help them share what they'd learned with the international community, and in March the 'academic duo' are looking forward to sharing their insights with delegates at the Business Events Leaders' Summit in Glasgow.
Edwards says whilst attracting new money may be the most striking benefit of conferences for host destinations initially, it is just one of the many that can be derived for individuals, industry, government agencies and the wider destination community if events are organised to obtain greatest leverage.
"We just love this industry," Edwards said.
Foley adds: "If I can't be one of the amazing people discovering cures for diseases or the secrets of the universe, then the next best thing I can do is to support the meetings and conferences that have played a role in assisting their work".
And for Edwards it's the 'ah ha!' moments one can experience at a conference, and there would be few who hadn't had such a moment.
"What our book shows is that those moments of serendipity can lead to truly great outcomes," she said.
Before the research was undertaken, Foley said business events and conventions were generally included only as an 'afterthought' in the government's tourism portfolio and were evaluated only in terms of tourism dollars generated.
She said BESydney now uses the research to help governments recognise that the sector should be under trade, innovation and industry portfolios – rather than simply tourism.
"The government's vision for events has shifted," Foley said.
"They are now much more aware of the full value of business events and BESydney are becoming highly effective in terms of 'educating' relevant politicians about those values and connecting with trade ministers and their staff.
BESYDNEY itself has also responded to the findings, and have restructured their organisation so that bid teams are aligned with key NSW industry sectors rather than traditional tourism objectives.
Edwards and Foley are confident their research has had a significant impact on the industry already and that the research investment BESydney has made has paid dividends.
"The industry in NSW is now armed with quality data and information to help them educate decision-makers about the full extent of the value of conferences," Edwards said.
"They're also celebrating their Ambassadors' stories about how conferences have helped them achieve their own goals, and they're using those stories in their marketing.
THEY PROVIDED one in the book and will develop it further over coming months. The pair have also undertaken some preliminary studies on people taking time out from conferences.
"But that makes estimating attendance numbers at lunches, dinners and afternoon teas more difficult and can lead to food wastage and the like, so there will be consequences.
Another area they are interested in exploring is the role of social media and technology in transforming the way conferences are delivered and operate.
BUT SHE and Foley believe nothing can take the place of people meeting real people in real settings particularly when it is in ones like the Glasgow's newly-launched SEC Meeting Academy.
"There's currently no replacement for the camaraderie and sense of community that can develop around conferences, or the appeal of engaging face-to-face with peers," Edwards said.
Foley said whilst the early motivator for her and Edwards was the challenge of breaking new ground, it's now the importance of establishing ways to maximise conference legacies that inspires them.
"Some of the 'long-tail' outcomes can be so powerful, as we know from the stories in our book," she said.
"I often find myself wondering just how much potential is being wasted because people still don't really understand the power of conferences or the importance of legacy-building.

Green Bonds: Who Will Be the (Environmental) Champion?
Background: Ueli Goldener 11 Jun 2018
It's almost that time again. For one month, soccer will bring the world together. The world is also united in its efforts to tackle the major challenge of climate change. This, though, is something we will be dealing with for more than four weeks. It demands long-term investment, and the money can come from environmentally friendly bonds that are as green as the grass on a soccer field.
If the bookmakers are to be believed, France will play Nigeria and Belgium will come up against Poland in the last sixteen of the soccer World Cup. My tip: France and Belgium will easily go through to the quarter-finals. The four nations play in the same league, however, in another area: green bonds. In 2016 Poland was even the first country to issue a green bond – issued volume: USD 970 million. In 2017 it was followed by France (USD 10.7 bn), Fiji (USD 50 mn) and Nigeria (USD 30 mn). In 2018 those countries were joined by Indonesia (USD 1.3 bn), Belgium (USD 5.5 bn) and Lithuania (USD 20 mn).
As you can see, the number of participants involved is much smaller than in the soccer World Cup. But green bonds are of course not only a playing field for governments. The number of issuers more than doubled in 2017 alone. By the end of the year, 239 different issuers had been recorded in 37 different countries. Time for the rules of the game: What are green bonds?
Players Companies, development banks and commercial banks have been issuing green bonds for about 10 years. And as we have seen, governments have recently got in on the act. The issued volume is rising sharply. It currently stands at around USD 200 billion, which is double the figure for 2016.
Goal According to a report issued by the OECD there is a USD 93 billion shortfall in investment for low-CO2 technologies over the next 15 years. Issuers use green bonds to lend money to the fight against climate change, for example for the construction of photovoltaic facilities, wind farms or energy-efficient buildings.
Stadiums The Luxembourg stock exchange LuxSE became the first to list a green bond (the Climate Awareness Bond issued by the European Investment Bank) in 2007. Green bonds have been traded on the Swiss Exchange since 2014. There are currently 14 different ones admitted to trading – with a nominal volume of CHF 6.6 billion.
Referee There is no standard set of regulations. The Green Bond Principles are a voluntary standard for issuers of green bonds with respect to the intended usage. Something even more specific is the Green Bond Standard of the Climate Bonds Initiative (CBI). The CBI is a charitable organization with which the Swiss Exchange entered into a partnership in 2018. A "Green Bond Flag" in the web site's search function makes it simple for investors to find bonds that have been certified by the CBI.
Fans Green bonds are often simple, fixed-interest instruments, so they're easy for many investors to understand. The environmentally friendly purpose also appeals to a growing number of investors who attach value to sustainability. They also appeal to institutional investors such as pension funds on account of their substantial volumes.
By the way, the next green government bond is expected to come from Hong Kong. A volume of USD 13 billion would make it the biggest government green bond program to date. We are however unlikely to ever see Hong Kong's national soccer team at a soccer World Cup. They are currently ranked 144th in FIFA's global rankings.

The Ticehurst replacement bedroom door in Legno Cashmere is an example of how you can bring together a traditional or classic door and add a colour that has both texture and warmth and get a great effect. Trends have worked this out and have presented us with a door that is just ideal for the needs of anyone doing a makeover of their bedroom. Additionally, the door can be made in any size you need from the smallest to the tallest door.
The Ticehurst is literally full of features that are hard to explain in full detail given the space constraints. However you can see the central vertical panels, the chamfered and moulded framework, the routed outer frame and the subtle routing on the edge. All of this brings the door to life and gives it something special for your room. Now all you need to do is add a handle of your choice from our vast selection.
The colour of Legno Cashmere is a two for one deal. You get the texture of painted wood, plus a colour that will add warmth and character to your bedroom. Legno is Italian for timber and it is easy to see why that name has been chosen. The woodgrain effect is subtle, but obvious and will further enhance the caramel tones of the Cashmere colour. You can use more texture in your room from wool, fur and wood to further enhance the look.
The Ticehurst door is full of features, but it is the colour of Legno Cashmere from Trends that really sets it off.

Chefs Serve Up Sustainability Drive At Gulfood 2022
A star-studded line-up of award-winning global chefs are turning up the heat on food sustainability at the inaugural Gulfood Top Table, launched at Gulfood 2022, the 27th edition of the world's largest annual F&B sourcing event, which runs at Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) until Thursday. Michelin-starred chefs, celebrated culinary maestros, influencers, food journalists and trendsetters have joined forces to host a series of live demonstrations and masterclasses, with a focus on sustainability, local produce, and tackling food waste.
Gulfood Top Table is powered by leading enterprises such as Greener Crop, the UAE homegrown company that provides sustainable farm management solutions for local farms, providing technology-driven solutions, such as hydroponics, to be able to grow and harvest produce in the GCC.

Kicking off day one's Top Table was Nick Alvis, Founder and Executive Chef of Folly, who walked the audience through a Folly signature, Roasted Saddle Lamb with whipped pine nuts and pine nut salsa.
"If we are not sustainable, we have no food life to use. It's great to hear that the UAE has more fish farming and produce coming directly from local farms. It's fantastic to see the massive rise in sustainability within the last two years, and we as chefs are trying to use as many locally sourced ingredients as we possibly can," said Chef Alvis.
Luigi Vespero, the renowned Italian chef and F&B Director of Waldorf Astoria DIFC, held his Tortellini in Brodo Masterclass. "The dish I've created is a representation of sustainability and reducing food waste as every ingredient you buy is used in the dish with nothing going to waste. Gulfood brings together food lovers from around the world under one roof, showcasing the final product, producers, and the whole food supply chain. Top Table is the cherry on top of all the activations and is a great opportunity to bring the public together."

The Gulfood Top Table is a first for the event and is taking culinary experiences to new heights with series of live demonstrations and workshops featuring up to 70 chefs from 50 restaurants preparing over 1,000 unique dishes, bringing together industry media, innovators, and global trendsetters in a masterclass feast.

It's Hard to Admit You Were Fooled
Nothing is as humiliating as getting conned. Especially when you've spent your life defending the con artist.
When the same people lie to you over and over again, you eventually realize two things:
They cannot be trusted. Ever. About anything.
You are easily fooled.
If you're like me, the second realization often keeps you from accepting the first. The conversation in your goes like this.
Me 1: "He lied to me."
Me 2: "Yeah, what are going to do about it?"
Me 1: "I'm going to call him out."
Me 2: "And admit you fell for it? Admit you blew all that money on a scam? Look like a fool?"
Me 1: [thinking]
Me 2: "What's your wife gonna say? [pause] Look. You'd be better off keeping this to yourself. Defend your choice. No one will ever know."
Me 1: "Okay."
We do this all the time. One time, I bought a new car. About six months later, I realized I could refinance it and save a lot in interest (from 6% down to 3.25%). But my refi application was rejected because the car had been in an accident. I argued with the lending company, but they sent me the Carfax report. Sure enough, the car had been in an accident at the dealership. $3,500 worth of damage. As such, it was not considered new when I bought it, and its trade-in value was $10,000 below what it should have been. I was technically the second owner.
I called the dealership. They admitted the car had been in an accident and that the aftermarket "upgrades" I signed for were not upgrades but repairs.
I didn't want to tell anyone I'd been taken. It's embarrassing. I should have run a Carfax report on the vehicle even though it was being sold as new.
The dealership in question is a large chain. They'd been forced to sell their Nissan dealership by the manufacturer because of rampant ethics and legal violations. Despite all this knowledge, I couldn't bring myself to go public. Instead, I settled for a check and a promise not to publicize their name.
I was wrong. I should have shouted it from the rooftops so other people in the St. Louis area know never to do business with that auto group. (They're really big, and they advertise a lot, and they give a lot of money to local charities.) They're crooks from the ground up. You deserve to know who they are, but I can't tell you. I promised in writing.
That's why crooked people get by with crime. Because cowards like me won't admit we were taken for a ride, fooled, ripped off, robbed, lied to, conned. It's called "pride." Pride is the absence of humility. Con artists thrive because their marks are too embarrassed to out them.
You might think that a humble man in my shoes would have just accepted his loss and moved on. He wouldn't have even demanded a bunch of money to compensate for $10,000 loss in value hidden by the dealership. But, you'd be wrong.
The humble man is humble before God and cares not a lick what other men think of him. The humble man lives by John Wooden's advice to UCLA basketball players: "Worry more about your character than your reputation. Reputation is just what other people think about you, but character is who you are."
The humble man would admit he was fooled, that it was his fault, and that he deserves to be out $10,000 for lack of diligence. But he would make his loss known as a warning to others. He would do his best to see that that crooked auto group goes out of business. He would let the world think him a fool to spare others. Not out of vindictiveness (though it would be hard to avoid that trap), but out of duty to the community. The way Jesus called out the Pharisees.
I did the opposite. I protected my pride, left the community at risk, and pocketed the cash.
Some hero.
I also spent years defending the United States, both as a member of the Navy and as a citizen happily arguing with those who criticized the military, the FBI, the CIA, the Department of Justice, the Federal Reserve system. I scoffed at the idea that patriotism requires that people call out the government when the government is wrong. I attacked Glenn Greenwald and Edward Snowden and Wikileaks. I repeated the argument that their exposure of US war crimes put servicemen at risk.
I've learned that Greenwald and Snowden were right and I was wrong.
What's worse, I began to suspect that I was wrong in about 2011 or 2012, but I kept my mouth shut. I was afraid of giving aid and comfort to the enemy. I was afraid of what my fellow Tea Partiers would think of me. In other words, I worried more about reputation than my character.
I took the easy way out. I suppressed my doubts and said things that my friends were saying. I stayed consistent to my previous public statements. ("Commitment and consistency" is probably the strongest persuasion principle.)
But I was wrong. And a liar. Instead of warning people that we'd been too trusting of the government—of the elites—for too long, I encouraged their blind obedience to authority. It's bad enough being a fool—it's far worse being a liar and fooling others. But that's exactly what I did.
The truth is, even if I had championed Greenwald and Snowden, I wouldn't have changed any minds. At least, not until Covid came along a decade later. Instead, I would have been ostracized from the Tea Party and mocked on the local conservative talk radio station. I'd have become a pariah.
Sometimes the price of telling the truth is a ruined reputation. Just read about the prophets of the Old Testament and what telling the truth did for them. (Unlike me, they told the truth and took the punishment.)
From 2014 to 2018, I read a lot of books about being wrong. For some unknown reason, there were a lot of books published at that time about the subject. Many people must have recognized that the worst part of being wrong is fessing up.
About this time, I read Antifragile by Nassim Nicholas Taleb where I came across a saying of his:
If you see fraud and don't say "fraud," you are a fraud.
I saw fraud and didn't say "fraud."
As you know if you read my Substack, I've gotten over that. I have disavowed the US Department of Defense, the Department of Justice, and the entire US government. I have caused animosity with old friends over my attacks on the medical industry and the doctors who know better but, like me, keep their mouths shut. While I once defended the FBI and was fascinated by the CIA, I now tell you regularly that those agencies are so inherently evil I would never associate with anyone who ever worked for them—unless they, too, have repented, done public penance, and dedicated their lives to bringing down those dens of evil and corruption. (Yes, the FBI and CIA must be dismantled for our souls' sakes. They cannot be reformed.)
And now it's time to show mercy and patience to those who refuse to admit they've been wrong, for many on the left and right know the government, the medical industry, and the media are liars but, out of pride, will not say it out loud. They, too, see fraud but don't say "fraud." Like me, they are frauds themselves. They enable evil.
But they are no worse than me.
They see the scams of the past few years for what they are, but they refuse to admit they were wrong all along. They refuse to admit they were fooled, that they passed on bad advice to their friends and families. Admitting their error would take humility which is a grace from God that we are all free to accept or reject. Most of the time, we reject it.
In their defense, if your six-year-old were ruined for life because you forced her to get the mRNA Covid vaccine, could you live yourself? Wouldn't just deny your culpability to yourself and to the world? Wouldn't say, "at least she didn't get Covid?" The alternative is to take full responsibility for ruining your child's life, and that's hard for anyone to do.
Put yourselves in their shoes for a moment.
These people hated Trump because they believed Trump colluded with Russia to defeat Hillary Clinton. The Russia Hoax has been thrice proven a lie, but our neighbors refuse to admit they were wrong. Out of pride, they continue to repeat what they know to be false.
These people insist that the 2020 election was on the up-and-up, that Biden really got 81 million votes and Trump got only 75 million despite the fact that investigations in 5 key states showed more illegal votes for Biden than Biden's margin of "victory." They know Trump won Georgia, Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin, but they ridicule anyone who speaks this truth. They'd rather be liars than wrong.
These people bought the CDC's Covid narrative hook, line, and sinker. They washed their hands 129 times a day, disinfected every hard surface every time they looked at one, wore masks and maintained six feet of separation even while having sex, and said, "stay safe" to every person they Zoomed for two years. They proudly ratted out anyone—even their children—whom they suspected of violating any CDC recommended protocol. They believed that walking into a store without a mask would damn a soul to the fires of hell and kill everyone within a hundred miles. They took vacation to get their first dose of the mRNA vaccine, and the second. And the third and fourth. And they just applied for a day off to get the fifth. Oh, and they hate, Hate, HATE anyone who dares to challenge the safety and efficacy of their bi-monthly injection. The vaccine has become a holy sacrament to them, and this paragraph is to them the highest form of blasphemy agains their god and redeemer. Each morning as they wait for their responsibly source Fair Trade coffee to brew, they say the little prayer on the Dr. Fauci holy card attached to their refrigerator door. "Our Doctor who art in laboratories, hallowed be thy fame."
These, too, know it was all a lie. Omicron killed the narrative they adopted as their own. But having permanently alienated their families, caused the firing of colleagues, and called the police on unmasked neighbors, they cannot bear to accept the guilt they brought upon themselves. Instead, they mask up to drive alone to get gas in their car. They tell their Facebook followers how grateful they are for their shot-induced blood clots and neuropathy because it spared them from Covid. They're grateful to the pantheon of public health authorities that their four-year-old died from adverse vaccine reaction before experiencing the horrors of a runny nose and body aches.
Like those who still promote the Russia Collusion Hoax and the free-and-fair election scam, these Branch Covidians hear their own lies and feel a pang of guilt But they are comforted by the fact that television news anchors and their doctor repeat the same lie whenever asked, confirming for them that, sometimes, lying is the right thing to do, because we're all in this together.
Then there's the "low-fat diet" people who still preach the evils of whole eggs and meat, the virtues of soy milk, and the healthiness of grains and fruits. Among this group is almost every practicing physician in the United States. They would feel obliged to return every penny they made in medicine if forced to admit that 50 years of official, expert dietary advice was intended to increase the incidence of chronic conditions like obesity, Type II diabetes, heart disease, frailty, osteoporosis, hip and knee replacement, cancer, and Parkinson's. (There's a lot of money in those conditions.) So they put their patients on low-fat, high carbohydrate diets. They cash fat checks from insurance companies and take the gifts from pharmaceutical companies, justifying their fraud by knowing they can afford to send their kids (who were raised on strict Keto diets) to the best universities in the world. Imagine the humility it would take these doctors to admit it was all a lie for profit.
There's the "my country, right or wrong, my country" crowd who want to Eric Snowden and Julian Assange hanged from a tall tree for exposing America's surveillance state. How conflicted they must be now that the US military's only mission involves climate change, extremism (which doesn't actually exist), and sex change?
The list goes on. People just like me—people who harm others with lie to avoid dealing having been wrong. Guilty people.
Each time they repeat the lie, they feel guiltier. And the guiltier they feel, the harder it becomes to come clean. They can imagine the interrogation.
"When did you first become aware that your position on masks was wrong?"
How would they answer? If they tell the truth, "a year before I stopped lying about it," they reveal themselves as horrible human beings. If they lie and say, "just yesterday," they have a new lie to try to cover.
Again, I'm not saying these people are any worse than I am. I've done it, too. I've been fooled, and I agreed to protect the reputation of the company that fooled me in exchange for cash. You don't get much lower than that. Who knows? For a little more money, I might have made a testimonial video extolling the company's virtues. I'm pretty weak and shallow like that.
So, I'm not asking anyone to come clean and admit you're lying about masks, vaccines, elections, etc. Just stop lying. And stop trusting the US government, media, and the medical industry. They're no different than that St. Louis automotive group that sells wrecked cars as new. They lie and cover up for profit. You have no need to protect them.

Arnett GArdens man Renae Lloyd during his days as a Boys' Town player.
Arnett Gardens' midfielder, Renae Lloyd has dismissed a possible return to former club Boys' Town during next month's transfer window in the Red Stripe Premier League.
A close source had told STAR Sports that Lloyd was among three players that coach of Boys' Town, Andrew Price had secured for the Red Brigade.
However, when contacted yesterday morning, Lloyd said he has no reason to leave Arnett Gardens at this time.
"Boys' Town is my club, that I love but I don't think that would be the best move for me right now," Lloyd stated.
"I have been battling with injuries since last season, but for me the team has been playing well. There are some senior players that are not getting enough playing time like (Leon) Strickland, Marcelino Blackburn, who is yet to be included in a squad this season," he reasoned.
"The team is highly competitive and that is good, so who would not want that for their team. There are players who have come in and done well, so it is good for us as a team," Lloyd said about the RSPL's reigning champions.
"I have featured in about three quarters of the games this season and my only start was against Sandals South Coast at Frome on December 17. I picked up an injury (muscle strain) during that game, so I decided not to play again for the rest of the year and prepare for the upcoming club championship (Caribbean Football Union Club Championship) in January," he explained.
"I had some discussions with the coach (Jerome Waite) and I am okay. I have no problem with Arnett. I have seen bigger players worldwide coming off the bench, so what about me. Tamar (Edwards) has come in and is doing well in the central midfield role that I have played at in the last two seasons." Lloyd added.
Lloyd started his senior career at Boys' Town in 2005 after leaving Dunoon Technical, then switched to Arnett Gardens in 2013.
Lloyd, who made his debut with the national senior team in 2012, but has been out of favour still harbours a return to the Reggae Boyz squad.
"Sometime I still want to play for the national team but a next time I'm saying to myself that at 30 years-old and playing locally it is difficult. But, I have not given up on that," he concluded.
