Youngs leads England to victory in Rome
Leicester Tigers scrum-half Ben Youngs starred in England's away victory over Italy in the final round of the 2020 Six Nations, helping to secure the Championship title for the national side.
In his 100th appearance for England, Youngs scored two tries and led the side around the pitch from scrum-half in a dominant display in Rome.
It took just four minutes for Youngs to get his first, trailing on the inside after a line break out wide, and the Tigers No.9 dotted down under the posts before it was converted by skipper Owen Farrell.
Farrell added a penalty seven minutes later before Italy hit back with a try to Gloucester back-rower Jake Polledri in the 17th minute.
The visitors were down to 14 men soon after when Johnny Hill was shown yellow for a high tackle.
Italty almost had a second just after the half hour mark but for the scrambling defence of the England team on their own line, who held them up before winning back possession and relieving the pressure with a dominant defensive scrum earning the visitors a penalty.
Both teams, through unforced errors, missed out on scoring opportunities in the final stages of the first half to see them head into the break with just five points separating them, 5-10.

Youngs, again, came out of the blocks firing with a try in the opening minutes of the second-half in Rome, which Farrell converted to extend the lead to 12 points.
In his 50th England appearance, Jamie George found his way over for a try in the 51st minute and his Saracens team-mate Farrell added the extras to see the lead out to 19 points with half an hour remaining.
Tigers front-rower Ellis Genge was injected into the action from the bench soon after the third try for the visitors, brining energy and passion almost immediately to win England a penalty and end Italy's momentum as they attempted to fight their way back into the match.
England secured a try bonus-point with a clever individual effort from Tom Curry down the blindside with 15 minutes remaining on the clock, before Henry Slade crossed for their fifth just five minutes later.
Youngs was greeted with a standing ovation by team-mates when he was replaced in the 72nd minute, having done enough to win both the Guinness Man of the Match and England supporters' Player of the Match awards in his milestone appearance.
Italy fought valiantly until the final whistle, however were unable to add to their first half try in the second and went down 5-34 at full time.

I. The Road to the War of 1812
Jefferson contradicted his own principles of weak gov't liberty
II. James Madison the War of 1812
When England & France resumed war in 1803 & violated U.S. neutrality, Jefferson approved the Embargo of 1807
The embargo restricting U.S. trade with England & France
Jefferson contradicted his own principles of weak gov't & liberty
The embargo was unsuccessful
a. The embargo hurt NE shipping more than it hurt England or France
b. Embargo required a larger government to prevent smuggling
B. In 1808, James Madison was elected president & proved equally ineffective in gaining recognition of neutrality
1. The Non-Intercourse Act of 1809 was ineffective
2. Macon's Bill #2 in 1810 was ineffective
C. Republican War Hawks called for war, but Federalists were opposed…War against England was declared in 1812
II. James Madison & the War of 1812
The U.S. was unprepared for war with England: refused to raise taxes, had a small army & government
The early campaigns did not go well for the American army or navy
B. Key Battles & Strategies
1. The British unsuccessfully invaded the U.S. through Canada after the Battle of Plattsburg
The British successfully attacked the Chesapeake, burned the capital, & bombed fort McHenry in Baltimore
The U.S. won at the Battle of New Orleans after the war was over making Andrew Jackson a national hero
C. At the Hartford Convention in 1814, NE Federalists called for Constitutional changes to preserve their power:
1. Wanted to restrict Congressional war powers, limit the president to one term, & end the 3/5 compromise
2. The Federalists appeared disloyal & never recovered
III. Treaty of Ghent ended the War of 1812
A. The Treaty of Ghent (1814) did not address U.S. neutrality or British impressment
B. The effects of the war:
1. Ended British-Indian alliances in the west
2. Led Spain to sign the Adams-Onis Treary in 1819 (ceded Florida & redrew the southern U.S. border)
3. The Federalists were fatally wounded & never recovered

Turning Point Battles & Their Impact
Treaty & the Terms of the Treaty
Impact/Effects of the War
Essential Question: To what degree was the War of 1812 a "second American Revolution"?
French & Indian War; British replacement of Salutary Neglect with Parliamentary Sovereignty;
Taxation policies (Grenville & Townshend Acts); Conflicts (Boston Massacre & Tea Party, Intolerable Acts, Lexington & Concord)
Spark:
Common Sense & Declaration of Indep
British refusal to recognize American neutrality & trade rights in Europe during times of war with France; British impressment of U.S. sailors; The failure of American diplomacy & trade restrictions (Embargo Act of 1807, Non-Intercourse Act, 1809)
The failure of Macon's Bill #2 & pressure by War Hawks
Use its superior army & navy to defeat the Continental Army in a decisive battle; Rally Southern loyalists to oppose the war
Avoid a decisive battle; Guerilla warfare tactics with colonial militias; Ally with the French
3-pronged attack through Canada, Chesapeake, & New Orleans; Blockade the U.S. coast
Fight the British in Canada
Superior military, better generals, more manufacturing…BUT had long supply lines & did not know the terrain well
Fighting for independence, colonial unity, did not have to win a decisive battle…BUT had an inferior military
Superior military…BUT England was also engaged in war with France that limited its ability to send resources to America
Strong patriotism…BUT weak military, small national gov't, unwilling to raise taxes to fund war
Bunker Hill proved that the American colonists were willing to fight a full-scale war
Saratoga—the American "victory" allowed the French to commit as allies
Yorktown—the surrender of British general Cornwallis effectively ended the fighting
Plattsburg, NY—the Americans turned away the British attack via Canada
Chesapeake—the British burned D.C.
New Orleans—the Americans "defeated" the British & led to feelings of victory in the War of 1812
Treaty of Paris, 1783 granted the USA full independence, Americans gained all lands between the Atlantic & Mississippi River (except Spanish Florida), British agreed to remove troops from the Ohio River valley (but never did),
Treaty of Ghent ended the war but did not address American neutrality or British impressment
Social changes: eliminated the idea of an American aristocracy, abolitionist sentiment grew, Republican Motherhood
States created written constitutions
The Articles of Confederation were adopted
Ended all Indian-British alliances in western lands
Scared Spain into signing the Adams-Onis Treaty in 1819
The lack of Federalist loyalty was the fatal blow to the party

The House and Senate of the State of Utah unanimously passed House Bill 452 to institute multiyear estimates for state revenues and expenses as advocated by the Volcker Alliance. Passage of the measure followed the Volcker Alliance's release of Budget Report Cards for Utah and forty-nine other states earlier this year as well as the study Truth and Integrity in State Budgeting: What is the Reality? published in November 2017.
The new Utah law, titled Legislative Fiscal Analyst Amendments, requires the Office of the Legislative Fiscal Analyst to evaluate current and long-term trends relating to taxes and federal fund receipts and requires the initiation of a three-year cycle of analysis on revenue volatility and other budget matters.
The Volcker Alliance's November 2017 study, Truth and Integrity in State Budgeting: What is the Reality? examines key budgeting and transparency practices of all fifty US states, and is accompanied by a set of report cards grading the states in five areas of best practices. Among those best practices, the Alliance defines a multiyear, consensus approach to establishing single, binding estimates for revenues and expenditures before the budgeting process begins as a necessary step to create accurate, sustainable, and transparent budgeting.
The Utah measure (House Bill 452 and Senate Bill 452) won passage in early March and was signed into law on March 19. In floor speeches House Majority Leader Brad R. Wilson and Senator Kevin T. Van Tassell both credited the Volcker Alliance with providing the impetus for the bill.
In the Volcker Alliance's three-year assessment of state budgeting practices, Idaho received average A grades in Budget Maneuvers, Legacy Costs (principally public employee pensions and postretirement health care), and Reserve Funds, a B in Transparency, and a D in Budget Forecasting. Utah won A grades in Budget Maneuvers, Legacy Costs, and Reserve Funds, and a C in both Transparency and Budget Forecasting.
All fifty report cards are accessible through an interactive map and include grades on each state's critical budget practices plus a detailed breakdown of the assessments.

Saudi liberals see hope as clerics argue over women
By Souhail Karam
RIYADH: Divisions among senior Saudi clerics over the legality of gender segregation could mark a new drive by reformers allied to King Abdullah to push social reforms in the puritanical Islamic state.
The divisions came to the open when the kingdom's morals police, or the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice, reversed a decision to sack Ahmad al-Ghamdi, its regional head for the Mecca region.
Saudi analysts and diplomats say the reversal was dictated by King Abdullah's entourage if not the king himself.
After the kingdom opened its first co-ed university in September — a project sponsored by King Abdullah — Ghamdi published a research paper that questioned the legality in Islam of gender segregation as enforced by the Commission.
"The commission was forced to cancel the decision to sack Ghamdi. This will strengthen the state's role," said Khaled al-Dakhil, a prominent Saudi political writer.
"The state has been gaining influence while that of the religious establishment has been declining, simply because it has gradually been given a lesser say over decisions taken by the state," he said.
The kingdom, a major U.S. ally, is ruled by Al Saud family in alliance with clerics from the austere Wahhabi school of Islam who oversee mosques, the judiciary and education, as well as run their own coercive apparatus, the morals police.
Interior ministry police work with the Commission to make sure unrelated men and women are kept apart, that women are covered from head to toe and that Sharia law is fully implemented including a ban on alcohol. Women are also not allowed to drive in the kingdom.
The rulers of the world's top oil exporting country have wrestled with the issue of whether to moderate Wahhabism since the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001 on U.S. landmarks, carried out by mostly Saudi nationals, and the emergence of al Qaeda militancy against the Saudi government in 2003.
King Abdullah is seen as favouring reforms that water down some of Wahhabism's more controversial tenets. Analysts and diplomats say he is opposed by other senior princes who are closely allied to the powerful religious establishment.
STATE VS RELIGION
The octogenarian monarch, pressed by time to push reforms, dismissed a cleric from a top council of religious scholars in October after he demanded that religious scholars vet the curriculum at the new university.
A senior Saudi government official said Ghamdi's views could get "something big rolling". "I won't be surprised if the king asks the Shura Council for advice on gender segregation and women driving issues. I think that's the best way for the monarchy to avoid collision with the religious establishment".
The Shura Council is a quasi-parliament that advises the government and examines draft legislation. Its members are appointed by the king and although its decisions are not binding, it has become a forum for debate.
Ghamdi defended his views with sayings of the Prophet Mohammad, but his critics argue he is not qualified to speak about religious matters. Ghamdi is an accounting graduate who climbed up the bureaucratic ladder within the commission.
Hardliners among the kingdom's clerics are treating the issue of gender segregation — which also requires a woman to be accompanied by a male "guardian" in public — as a red line they will fight over.
In February, Sheikh Abdul-Rahman al-Barrak — a leading independent cleric — called for opponents of the segregation to be put to death if they refuse to abandon their ideas.
Grand Mufti Sheikh Abdul-Aziz Al al-Sheikh — the state's chief adviser and spokesman on religious affairs — is seen as an ally of King Abdullah who has not been prepared to diverge from Wahhabi orthodoxy on segregation and guardianship.
"What is happening is a healthy debate within the commission," said Jamal Khashoggi, editor of al-Watan newspaper. "This is an evolution. It's a very positive thing for the whole kingdom."

Independent Palestinian state gains China's support
RIYADH (AFP) – China on Wednesday endorsed efforts to create an independent Palestinian state as Saudi Arabia hardened its accusations that Israel is preventing a settlement of the Middle East conflict .
China's Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Yang Jiechi speaks during a joint press conference with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saudi al-Faisal in Riyadh. China on Wednesday endorsed efforts to create an independent Palestinian state as Saudi Arabia hardened its accusations that Israel is preventing a settlement of the Middle East conflict.
"China will continue its support for the Palestinian effort to establish an independent state," Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi said on a visit to Riyadh .
Yang said at a news conference with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal that China supports the principles of a two-state solution under the Saudi-driven Arab Peace Initiative , which calls for an independent Palestinian state based on 1967 borders and with Jerusalem as its capital.
Saud, meanwhile, stepped up the rhetoric over Israel's refusal to freeze the construction of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank and begin talks with the Palestinians.
"This is the longest conflict in modern times," Saud said.
"The reason why this conflict is long is the refusal by Israel of all the attempts to end this conflict. Arab countries have done their job with the Arab Peace Initiative, which gives Israel security, and gives the Arab countries the restoration of their lands.
"But peace should be established by two sides, not just one side. If one side does not want peace, peace will not be achieved," he said.
The comments came as both the US and Saudis have increased efforts to push the Palestinians and Israelis into final-status peace talks that would result in an independent Palestinian state.
Amid a sharp increase in regional diplomacy, White House National Security Adviser James Jones met Saudi King Abdullah late Tuesday on the first stop of a regional tour that will take him to Israel and the Palestinian territories .
US Middle East special envoy George Mitchell is also expected to visit soon.
The two sides remained at odds over the key issue of Israeli settlements .
The Palestinians and their Arab backers — with Saudi Arabia one of the most important — insist that peace talks cannot resume until Israel freezes the construction of Jewish settlements in the West bank and East Jerusalem.
Israel and the United States say talks should proceed with no preconditions.

Jenny Doesn't Do Dallas
8/3/2006 3:26 PM PT
It's official -- Jennifer Lopez has backed out of the movie version of the 1970's hit TV show, "Dallas."
La Lopez was set to star as Sue Ellen, the alcoholic wife of JR Ewing - played by John Travolta.
However, Lopez's rep, Leslie Sloane, confirms to TMZ that the actress has opted not to go through with the project.
This is not the first bump that the film has hit.
Earlier this year, "Legally Blonde" director Robert Luketic, who ironically also directed J.Lo in "Monster-in-Law", quit the project citing "creative differences" and was reportedly unhappy with casting choices.
The reason behind JLo's decision is still unknown.

Маттео (Майо) I Орсіні (, ; д/н — 1238) — 2-й пфальцграф Кефалонії та Закінфу в 1195—1238 роках.

Життєпис
Походив з римського шляхетського роду Орсіні. Син Ріккардо Орсні. Його батькі за невідомих обставин перебралися до Апулії, де народився Маттео (в м.Монополі). Вважається, що замолоду долучився до морської справи. Відзначився під орудою адмірала Маргарита да Бріндізі, на доньці якого зрештою оженився.

У 1194 році за наказом Генріха VI, імператора Священної Римської імперії, тестя Орсіні було засліплено і арештовано. Тому управління графством Кефалонії і Закінфу до Маттео. 1195 року той офіційно став правителем цього володіння.

З самого початку створив умови для привілейованого становища італійців на островах. Також було скасовано православну єпархію, скрізь поставленого католицьких кліриків. Також було впроваджено феодальну систему, острови поділено на фьєфи, які роздані прихильникам Орсіні.

У зовнішній політиці намагався досягти незалежності від Сицилійського королівства. Проте спочатку визнавав владу останнього. Ситуація змінилася після Четвертого хрестового походу 1204 року, коли занепала Візантійська імперія. 1205 року було захоплено о. Корфу, де повалено генуезця Леоне Ветрано, свояка Маттео Орсіні. У 1207 графство було перетворено на пфальцграфство. У 1209 році він став громадянином Венеційської республіки.

Втрата венеційцями 1210 року о. Корфу налаштувала Орсіні шукати інших союзників. Того ж року він визнав сюзеренітет Латинської імперії. У 1216 році з початком занепаду Латинської імперії визнав зверхність Папської держави. Водночас намагався налагодити дружні відносини з епірським деспотом Феодором Комніном Дукою, що досяг значної потуги. Для зміцнення цього 1227 року оженив сина на сестрі деспота.

1230 року після тяжкої поразки Феодора Комніна Дуки пфальцграф знову змінив напрямок політики, почавши орієнтуватися на держави хрестоносців на балканах. У 1236 році став васалом Ахейского князівства. Помер 1238 року. Йому спадкував син Маттео II.

Saffron is on of the restaurants located at the Al Areen Palace & Spa. They are serving a mouthwatering array of traditional Middle Eastern cuisine as well as modern Bahraini dishes with a fusion of Khaleeji and European elements. Dining at Saffron will make you feel like a royalty with their complete package of great food and ambiance.


FYI, Craft Services is not a restaurant. It's the people who provide food on set. The wonderful, wonderful people who feed the cast & crew. Occasionally I venture down there and nab a bite.
I'm pretty sure that the turkey-cheese was on sourdough bread. Nice touch. Another job well done.
I can't believe it's Wednesday and I haven't had to make one of my own questionable sandwiches yet. Viva la free food.

«Heaven» es el tercer sencillo póstumo del disc jockey sueco Avicii, con la participación aunque sin acreditar, del cantante inglés Chris Martin, vocalista de la banda británica Coldplay. La canción fue lanzada el 6 de junio de 2019, como el tercer sencillo del álbum de estudio póstumo de Avicii, Tim.

Grabación
La canción fue grabada con Chris Martin en 2014, al mismo tiempo que hicieron «A Sky Full of Stars». Se estrenó por primera vez durante el set de Avicii en el Future Music Festival de 2015. Durante el período de 2014 hasta 2019, ha habido diferentes versiones de la canción circulando en la web.

En 2015, Avicii estrenó «Heaven» en el Ultra Music Festival de 2015 con un cantante completamente diferente, Simon Aldred, y dijo que pensaba que le hacía justicia a la pista. En 2016, Avicii trabajó en una versión de «Heaven» con el productor Carl Falk, con una nueva versión del cantante Simon Aldred y guitarras eléctricas agregadas a la pista. Avicii tocó esta versión de la pista durante el transcurso de 2016, hasta que se retiró. Antes de su muerte, finalmente decidió que quería lanzar la versión con Chris Martin en su lugar. La canción fue tocada en su memoria por Nicky Romero durante el Festival de Kingsland en 2018. Como dijo Nicky, Tim le envió una carpeta llena de música nueva, en su mayoría sin terminar pero que aún se puede usar para los shows. El 27 de mayo de 2018, la canción se filtró a través de airplay en NRJ Radio y en Soundcloud.

En abril de 2019, se anunció que el álbum Tim, en el que Avicii estaba trabajando antes de su muerte, incluiría «Heaven» dentro de su tracklist, dicho disco fue lanzado el 6 de junio de 2019.

Vídeo musical
El vídeo lírico de la canción fue lanzado el 6 de junio de 2019. El videoclip oficial titulado "video tributo" (tribute video en inglés), usa clips antiguos de Avicii y fue lanzado el 24 de junio de 2019.

Oh, how everyone loves Eddie Redmayne. Even when he arrived for a quiet day at Wimbledon with new girlfriend Hannah Bagshawe (*sobs discreetly into hankie*) the paparazzi went mad. Like crazy cats. Anyway, it didn't matter, because he managed to slip away into the Evian VIP suite (phew), where Tom Hiddleston was playing table tennis with Grace Jones (he'd clearly been practising) and Jamie Laing and Francis Boulle were nattering away to Jamie Campbell Bower about an afterparty. Eliza Doolittle arrived between centre-court matches but when it was time to sit down for lunch (yummy lobster), nobody could find Grace Jones. Turns out she had sneaked into the players' lounge, declaring 'I'm Grace Jones' when questioned by security. Bravo Grace!

The LAPD spied on a left-wing organization? What year is this?
Trump supporters march as anti-Trump protesters yell from the sidewalk in downtown Los Angeles in 2017.
(Los Angeles Times)
To the editor: Forty five years ago, in the "bad old days" of 1974, my parents, Seymour and Vivien Myerson, were spied upon and harassed by the political espionage operation of the Los Angeles Police Department. This went on for several years and my parents sued the city of Los Angeles and the LAPD. ("LAPD informant infiltrated left-wing activists during Trump protests, records show," July 19)
The department had never been successfully challenged in court for political spying and harassing, but as the L.A. Times reported under a front-page banner headline on April 15, 1982, my mother and father prevailed. Their suit was soon followed by a class action against the city and LAPD, which also was successful.
One would have to be painfully naive to believe that in the succeeding decades, no illegitimate police activity took place. Recent news that the cops have stepped up their oppressive tactics against "left-wing" organizations protesting President Trump indicates that the bad old days are back with a vengeance.
The throwaway line in the article, "The LAPD did not conduct similar operations involving right-wing groups," should tell us that our police department shows its political bias and muscle against true patriots who act in defense of our Constitution. The LAPD should be serving and protecting it and us, not serving and protecting those who would push us into the abyss of fascism.

To the editor: As the Los Angeles district superintendent of the United Methodist Church, I am appalled and concerned over the violation of religious freedom that was demonstrated by the LAPD toward the Echo Park United Methodist Church.
Infiltrating a community-based organization that meets in a church only serves to undermine the trust in law enforcement that the LAPD has tried very hard to build.
As a Japanese American, I hear echoes of the infiltration of Japanese community organizations by the FBI in the aftermath of the Pearl Harbor attack in December 1941. Those actions led to the incarceration of about 120,000 Japanese Americans from the West Coast during most of World War II.
The Rev. Mark M. Nakagawa, Gardena

End of the road for LDV?
A VAN company with a history stretching back more than 100 years was close to becoming the highest profile casualty of the recession last night.
LDV Vans works at Washwood Heath, Birmingham.
Its directors applied for administration, raising fresh fears that 850 workers will lose their jobs.
Birmingham-based
said the case will be heard in court on May 6, leaving just a week to secure funding and save the jobs, as well as hundreds more in dealerships and supply firms.
The firm, which has not built any vehicles since last year, after its Russian owner,
decided to sell the business, said it could not confirm any further payments for employees, who were paid up to the end of last week.
The Prime Minister was pressed to back the firm, which has its roots in the old nationalised
, while the
union said `vital' aid of just £4m would help keep the vanmaker in business.
The few workers who had remained at the factory were sent home, some describing the fresh development as a `nightmare'.
A planned management buy-out failed to materialise, and the company has been trying to raise money from overseas investors for the past few months.
Chief executive Evgeniy Vereshchagin said in a letter to workers: "Despite all our efforts over the past few months, we have so far been unable to secure the investment required for the business.
"During the past few weeks, the global economic crisis has forced us to operate in exceptional conditions, and we cannot continue in this position without funding indefinitely. We are still working with potential overseas investors who want to keep production in Birmingham, but they, like many people at this time, are finding it difficult to secure the necessary funds.
"We must now inform you that the deterioration in the position of the business has forced the directors to apply for administration. I must stress that this does not mean the business is in administration yet."
LDV said the actions of a small number of suppliers had caused the firm to reach a point where it had `no alternative' other than to apply for administration.
Malaysian group
has been involved in negotiations to raise overseas money to save LDV, which is owned by Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska.
If LDV falls into administration, it will be the first vehicle manufacturer to go out of business in the current recession, although thousands of jobs have already been lost in the motor industry because of plunging sales.


Many of you have inquired about the EMV certification with FusionPOS over the last couple of weeks, and today (09/28/2015) we received our certification with the Ingenico IPP350 and the ISC 250 devices. This was the first major hurdle in working with the new EMV rules with PayGuardian.
At this point there are still two additional certifications that need to be done between PayGuardian and the EMV governing body. They estimate that the full EMV certification will occur the week of November 5, 2015.
In preparation for that roll-out, those customers looking to implement the EMV hardware and processes can now begin planning. Beginning next week, we will start the process of opening PayGuardian accounts with non-EMV transactions.
This will allow customers looking to move the ability to order hardware and setup of their new devices and credit card processing. When the final certifications are met by PayGuardian, we will be able to turn on EMV card processing. When that is announced, all customers will be notified of the time and date that this will occur.
On average it will take between 10 to 14 days for the initial sign-up and for hardware to arrive once the account is opened. We will be scheduling times with each of you for the upgrade of Fusion along with the installation, configuration, and setup of PayGuardian.
How do I open a PayGuardian account?
You will want to make sure your current merchant services support First Data Omaha as a processor. This is the ONLY processor certified for PayGuardian and Fusion. Additional processors will be available as the certifications are passed.
You will need to have two months of statements on hand to discuss and negotiate rates with Advanced Bancard.
They will also need the billing address of each merchant account that needs to be set up.
If you are looking for a new account setup including merchant services, Advanced Bancard will be able to provide you quotes for processing from beginning to end.
As referenced above, you will need to sign up for a PayGuardian account. We do expect a large influx of customers looking to move, and we will work to accommodate all customers as fast as we can. When upgrading to PayGuardian, you will also need to upgrade your Fusion software to Version 4.6.1504. Your Fusion software upgrade will need to be scheduled parallel with your PayGuardian upgrade.

Empire Files: Modern-Day Slave Trade by Human Rights Diplomats
Thread: Empire Files: Modern-Day Slave Trade by Human Rights Diplomats
Human trafficking is a hidden industry that brings in $150 billion in illegal profits every year. In the United States, tens of thousands are trafficked annually—the biggest clients being major hotel chains and foreign diplomats.
The Philippines is one of the largest labor exporters in the world. 6,000 Filipinos—mostly women—leave the country every single day to work, because of mass unemployment and poverty. Tricked by placement agencies, thousands end up living as virtual slaves.
Damayan, a New York-based organization led by Filipina domestic workers, is fighting this underground crisis. Abby Martin speaks to several members of the organization about how this exodus of women has devastated a generation of families, and how they are fighting back.

I really feel that Sue Arrigo gives insight into what is going on to such an extent that after reading her work you understand the big picture.
You don't want to think this stuff is true, but with the pizza/gate stuff and the podesta e-mails showing a small glimmer into the situation Arrigo makes it all amazingly clear, and also her book was written back in 2007, so she was either prophetic or she really knew what was going on as per what the Wiki-leaks evidence shows.
She has written a book called "secrets of the CIA Global Sex Industry" by Dr. Sue Arrigo.
I've not read the book it is difficult to find and out of print. https://cathyfox.wordpress.com/2015/...-june-15-2007/
In the book Sue claimed that she was told by Cheney and Bush senior that if she continued to try and expose what was going on she would find herself dead or worse in an asylum where she would be drugged and tortured for the rest of her life.
Her sister came out to discredit her and said she has been certified as "crazy", and since no one has seen or heard from her since she wrote the book most think the "crazy" accusation made by her sister, (a high ranking academic CIA operative herself) means that Sue was probably indeed thrown into an asylum.
What Sue states is so horrible that one does not want to think it possible, but it is all said with simplicity, with little diarrhea of the pen, and it sounds like it is the truth.
HERVE from Avalon did a good job of compiling PDF entries from her book HERE and each excerpt is short enough.

Yes, it is. However, it is the currency demanded from from non-corporeal beings from the humans who have lost their way and make evil a reality in our world. Although, that evil forms in the space left empty by lack of a challenge. If we do not challenge ourselves in wholesome ways, unwholesome challenges fill that space. Lots of room for discussions and questions regarding the meaning of life and relationships, eh?
It wasn't always thus, though the History created for the world would have us believe it was. Ancient traditions do not confirm History if they are ancient enough.

How old is Strictly Come Dancing 2021 contestant Robert Webb? – The Sun
ROBERT Webb is an English comedian, actor and writer – and he's one half of the comedy double act Mitchell and Webb.
But he is stepping out of his comfort zone to take part on Strictly Come Dancing 2021.
Who's Robert Webb and what's his net worth?
Robert Webb was born in Boston, Lincolnshire, on September 20, 1972 – that makes him 48.
He's best known for starring in Channel 4 sitcom Peep Show with comedy partner David Mitchell.
Eric Adams says NYC has become a city where lawlessness is the norm'
Opinion | Yes, Nurses Are Heroes. Let's Treat Them Like It.
He and David also starred together in the sketch comedy That Mitchell And Webb Look.
Robert has a net worth of £2.9million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Who's Robert Webb married to?
Robert married comedy performer Abigail Burdess in 2006 after the pair met on the set of a radio sketch show.
David was the best man at their wedding ceremony.
Robert and Abigail raise two daughters together and the family live in Kilburn, London.
Of parenting daughters, Robert has said: "Parenting girls makes you quite gender-conscious – it's almost impossible to fight the power of pink.
"It's not such a terrible thing to want to be a princess when you're five, but it would be nice if there were some other options."
🔵 Read our Strictly live blog for the latest updates…
How did Robert Webb meet David Mitchell?
Robert and David met at an audition for a Footlights production of Cinderella in 1993.
They released their first project, Innocent Millions Dead Or Dying – A Wry Look at the Post-Apocalyptic Age, in 1995.
Webb later described it as being "f***ing terrible".
They worked together on a series of small projects until The Mitchell And Webb Situation was commissioned by Play UK in 2001.
That led to Radio 4's That Mitchell And Webb Sound, which later became the Bafta-winning BBC2 sketch show That Mitchell And Webb Look.
The Peep Show, which co-starred Olivia Colman, aired on Channel Four from 2003 to 2015.
David has previously revealed that being in a double act puts pressure on them to get things right.
He said: "Deciding to take a random job that we quite fancy doing on our own is less loaded with significance than the two of us going into something together.
"We are offered things together that try to parachute us into something either we don't fit or isn't at all new, so we are careful in that way."

Being on a budget doesn't necessarily mean you have to cut new clothing out of your life for good. Follow these simple tips to save—while you shop.
Most retailers get new deliveries of clothing at least every two weeks (if not more often), and are under constant pressure to turn over their merchandise. This means that season-specific items—summer shorts and sandals, winter hats and gloves—hit the shelves a month or so early and are likely to be deeply discounted halfway through the season, despite still being the latest trends. Resist the urge to stock up on the new pieces you want for the coming season—snag them when they're marked down, but still wearable for months instead.
When it comes to wardrobe staples (a white buttoned shirt, black trousers, a go-to tee), the options are endless, seemingly similar, and available at every price point, from Forever 21 to Fendi. But when it comes to these pieces—the ones you'll wear over and over again, year after year—it makes more sense to invest in quality items. The cheap black pencil skirt and the more expensive one might not look so different on the rack, but paying a little more now will prevent you from having to constantly replace the lower-priced version, saving you money in the long run.

In order to avoid damaging the paint on the product, please avoid using abrasive soaps, sponges, or other cleaning tools.

United States Department of Homeland Security
Dept. of Homeland Security
Established: November 25, 2002
Activated: January 24, 2003
Secretary: Michael Chertoff
Deputy Secretary: Michael P. Jackson
Budget: $36.5 billion (2004)
Employees: 183,000 (2004)
The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is a Cabinet department of the federal government of the United States that is concerned with protecting America's people from harm and its property from damage. This department was created primarily from a conglomeration of existing federal agencies in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
2 Grants
3 Organization
4 Related legislation
The department was established on November 25, 2002 by the Homeland Security Act and officially began operation on January 24, 2003. After months of discussion about employee rights and benefits and "rider" portions of the bill, Congress passed it shortly after the midterm elections, and it was signed into law by U.S. President George W. Bush. It was intended to consolidate U.S. executive branch organizations related to "homeland security" into a single cabinet agency.
It was the largest government reorganization in 50 years (since the United States Department of Defense was created). The department assumed a number of government functions previously in other departments. It superseded, but did not replace the Office of Homeland Security, which retained an advisory role.
The new Department was initially headed by former governor of Pennsylvania Tom Ridge, who had chaired the Office of Homeland Security since October 2001. On November 30, 2004, Ridge announced his resignation. President Bush chose former NYPD commissioner Bernard Kerik as his successor, but on December 10, Kerik withdrew his nomination citing personal reasons and saying it "would not be in the best interests" of the country for him to pursue the post. On January 11, 2005, President Bush nominated federal judge Michael Chertoff to succeed Ridge. Chertoff was confirmed on February 15, 2005, by a vote of 98-0 in the U.S. Senate. He was sworn in the same day.
President George W. Bush signs the Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2004.
Controversy about adoption centered on whether the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Central Intelligence Agency should be incorporated in part or in whole (both were not). The bill itself was also controversial for the presence of unrelated riders, as well as eliminating some standard civil service and labor protections from employees of the department. President Bush wanted the right to fire an employee within Homeland Security immediately for security reasons, for incompetence, or insubordination. Then-Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle wanted an appeals process that could take up to 18 months or as little as one month.
On March 12, 2002, the Homeland Security Advisory System, a color-coded terrorism risk advisory scale, was created as a Presidential Directive to provide a "comprehensive and effective means to disseminate information regarding the risk of terrorist acts to Federal, State, and local authorities and to the American people." Many procedures at government facilities are keyed off of the alert level; for example a facility may search all entering vehicles when the alert is above a certain level. Since January 2003, it has been administered in coordination with the DHS; it has also been the target of frequent jokes and ridicule about its perceived ineffectiveness.
The Department of Homeland Security occasionally gives grants to universities and corporations for developing technologies which could be useful for its activities. For example, in February 2005 a team of researchers from the University of California, Riverside (UCR) and Lucent Technologies received a US$800,000 grant from the US Department of Homeland Security to evaluate modern data-mining methods for discovering behaviour patterns which could be a threat to the national security of the United States of America.

Horn 'Em, Hookers!
The hellish heat. The cold beer. The cheerleaders bouncing around like howler monkeys on PCP. Was I really ready for some football? Texas versus Iowa State versus me.
https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/horn-em-hookers/
From the January 2007 Issue Subscribe
Gosh, how I loved football games when I was a grad student at the University of Texas. I was the biggest football nut going. I lived for game day. I and the other supernerdettes residing in a co-op boarding house two blocks from campus counted the minutes until kickoff. Why? Because that's when all the bellowing Burnt-Orange-heads would get the hell out of our neighborhood. Ah, bliss! For those few hours we could study, sing madrigals, and walk outside without being hailed by our football-loving frat neighbors with their signature greeting: "Hey, lesbo-dyke-whore!" (Seemed odd that the brothers would automatically assume that people of the same gender who all lived together and paddled one another and carried out secret nighttime rituals were homosexual. Yet they did. Oh, wait, I forgot. We didn't do the paddling and the rituals.)
I grew up in a house in which men screamed at television sets. Week after week, month after month, football season after football season, this little cult never seemed to grasp that the tiny players in the magic picture box could not hear them, that their rage and insults had no effect whatsoever on the outcome of the game. I did everything I could to ensure that the family psychosis did not strike me, until an article in Seventeen advised that in order to "be interesting to boys" I had to "be interested in what boys are interested in." Knowing that I couldn't fake a passion for burning up ants with a magnifying glass, I asked my father to explain the rules of football to me. The words "first down," "turnover," and "end zone" went directly into my brain's spam filter and lodged there forever, right next to "quadratic equation." Boys would just have to be interested in me for my family fortune and smokin' hot body.
And then I watched twenty minutes of football that changed everything—specifically, the final twenty minutes of last year's Rose Bowl. What Vince Young did that confetti-filled evening can stand next to any of the greatest human achievements: Michelangelo's David, E=mc2, the appletini. I vowed then and there that I would do what I had never done during the quarter of a century I'd lived in Austin: I would go to a Longhorns football game.
Before you could say "Horn 'em, Hookers!" I was one of 88,972 fans surging toward Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium for the UT—Iowa State game in late September. My trusty guide to all things gridiron was El Hubbo, pride of South Texas's Gregory-Portland Wildcats, a football-playin' fool with the knee surgeries to prove it. His expertise, fine-tuned during years of two-a-days on fields hot enough to smelt pig iron, was immediately brought to bear: "Uh, the kickoff is kind of important." This insight was delivered after the sound of a distant roar reached us in the cafeteria of a mercifully air-conditioned UT dorm where I was having an IV of Diet Coke inserted. Reinvigorated by meth-addict levels of caffeine, we rejoined the Bataan Death March.
Memorial Stadium. Looks big from the outside, right? Optical illusion. They pack those fans in like rush hour on a Tokyo subway. Our neighbors in section 30, row 49, seats 1 through 39 were not amused when we arrived late and forced them to assume positions only recently legalized in the state of Texas as we wedged past on our way to seats 40 and 41. I apologized copiously. One old gent excused me, saying, "At least you don't stink like that bongo-playing hippie who used to sit down there."
As he pointed to a spot nearby, I checked for other signs of heatstroke.
"You know. That Hollywood guy. McCafferty."
Okay! The personal hygiene habits of major stars—now this I could get interested in. Unfortunately, our other neighbors seemed to actually be trying to concentrate on the ants dressed in the color bronze that is called burnt orange on the field far below. Hostile glares cut my conversation about Mattie Mac short. I thought I'd better ingratiate myself with those whose feet I'd trodden upon. To show how much of a Hookers fan I was, I held my fingers up in a "Gig 'em" sign and screamed out, "Husk the Cornholers!"
"That's Nebraska," El Hubbo informed me. "And it's Cornhuskers."
"And you just did the 'Hang Loose, Brah' sign from Hawaii."
"Do you want me to explain what's happening?"
Since hellish, unimaginable heat had melted my lips shut, I shook my head no. I feared the words "offensive lineman" might inflict irreversible damage upon my poached brain. I slumped into a listless, torpid state, capable of fixating only on bright, highly animated objects. These would be the cheerleaders. I wondered idly what parallel universe they might exist in. On Planet Earth, I barely had enough energy to wipe away the tsunami of sweat pouring off of me. On frosty cold Planet Pep, the cheerleaders were bouncing around like howler monkeys on PCP.
This was so not like my cathartic Rose Bowl experience. What, besides Vince Young, was missing? Ah, yes, closeups. El Hubbo called my attention to the Godzillatron, which was in fact providing both CUs and replays. If only I'd had a quart of cookies 'n' cream and my own personal air-conned house, I could have duplicated my special Vince moment.
El Hubbo made a good call: "Let's go to the End Zone Club."
End Zone Club? This sounded promising. With a name like that I was certain I'd witness another sort of athletic perfection: strippers working the pole. But no. The End Zone Club turned out to be just a giant tent with big TV sets. But it did have the one ingredient essential to the enjoyment of football: beer. We found a quiet table as far from the hubbub as possible, and if everyone in the baked-bean-colored garb would have piped down and let me read my novel, I could have really started to enjoy football.
Now, I'm not saying who is right and who is pathologically insane in regard to football. All I will say, though, is on that day many were praying for the Longhorns to win. A few were praying for the Cornholers. Me, I was just praying for the whole hideous ordeal to end. Then, in the third quarter, the heavens hurled bolts of lightning upon Memorial Stadium of such ferocity that, for the first time since 1996, a game was postponed because of weather.
Make of that what you will, but there's no denying that my prayer was answered before 88,971 others.

We're approaching the end of October, and that means it's almost time for every kid's favorite holiday – Halloween! Halloween isn't just fun for your little ghouls and goblins, it's fun for your whole family. However, it's still important that everyone stays safe throughout the evening, as well as the days before and after. Whether you're going out with your children or staying home and passing out candy, follow these tips to ensure a safe, enjoyable evening for everybody.
Decorate costumes and trick-or-treating bags with bright colors and reflective tape. Make sure your whole party has flashlights in hand, or try glow sticks as a fun alternative for the kids.
Make sure that your children's costumes fit correctly to prevent tripping and falling throughout the night. Also make sure that everybody is prepared to stay warm! If costumes involve light material or skin exposure, bring along extra clothing.
Teach your children the rules of the road as a pedestrian – check both ways before crossing the street, use crosswalks, stay on the sidewalks, and watch for cars that are turning or backing up.
If you're driving on Halloween and not trick-or-treating, slow down and stay particularly aware of your surroundings. Try to avoid driving during the evening as people start to come out. If unavoidable, anticipate heavy pedestrian traffic and eliminate distractions in your car.
If you're going to be handing out candy to trick-or-treaters, ease other parents by taking the necessary steps to make your home a safe stop. Clear debris from your sidewalk and driveway, and restrain energetic pets. Make sure your decorations are appropriate and don't interfere with the safety of trick-or-treaters.


EDMONTON, Alberta -- Ryan Getzlaf blew a tire and the Edmonton Oilers capitalized.
The Anaheim Ducks captain fell down and coughed up the puck in overtime, giving Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl a two-on-one break. Draisaitl converted a perfect pass from McDavid at 1:26, and the Oilers rallied to beat the Ducks 3-2 on Saturday at Rogers Place.
McDavid had a goal and two assists, bringing his NHL-leading point total to 94.
The Oilers pulled even with the Ducks for the Pacific Division lead, four points up on the San Jose Sharks. The Ducks and Oilers each have four games left on their schedules, but the Oilers hold the tiebreaker on regulation and overtime wins.
"It's not a good feeling, that's for sure," said Getzlaf, who scored the Ducks first goal of the game. "It's my responsibility to take care of that puck. I turned a little bit too sharp, I caught my foot, so those things happen and I've got to live with it and go on tomorrow."
"Kind of lucky that he fell," McDavid said. "I just tried to pounce on the puck and get a good first step."
The Oilers won nine of their 10 games with McDavid and Draisaitl recording points in each contest.
"I've had the honor of being around some tremendous players in my day," said Oilers coach Todd McLellan. "(Pavel) Datsyuk, (Joe) Thornton, Patrick Marleau and Sidney Crosby. Connor is at a very, very high level right now. He's separating himself from a lot of people in the league right now, and I say that with a lot of respect for the others. But he is just remarkable right now."
John Gibson, making his first appearance in the Ducks goal since March 10, made 34 saves. The Oilers outshot the Ducks 37-18, and came back from a 2-1 deficit late in third period.
Cam Talbot got his 40th win of the season in the Oilers net, tying the team record held by Hall of Famer Grant Fuhr.
"Any time you're name is anywhere near Grant Fuhr's name, that's pretty special," Talbot said. "To be on that list is a pretty big achievement. It just shows the kind of team we have this year and how we have come together and how we've played."
The Oilers dominated the first period in terms of time spent in the offensive zone and shots on goal, but it took until 19:12 for the home side to break through.
McDavid buried a shot from the slot after Patrick Maroon made a great feed coming out from behind the net.
The Oilers outshot the Ducks 14-4 in the first period, but Gibson held his team in the game. He made a sprawling stop to deny McDavid 30 seconds in, and also robbed Jordan Eberle with a quick glove save.
Talbot only saw four shots but made a great glove save by robbing Corey Perry, who was talking to himself after his attempt from five feet out.
But the momentum turned early in the second with the Ducks mounting the pressure and tying the game at 3:27. Getzlaf's point shot floated in just under the crossbar on the power play.
The Oilers had several chances to retake the lead, but a couple goalmouth scrambles didn't yield a goal. Gibson stretched himself out on the ice to get a stick on a Mark Letestu attempt from the lip of the crease.
Ryan Kesler looked like a sure thing to give the Ducks the lead four minutes into the third, but with nothing but an open net in front of him, his shot went off the bar.
But with 11:07 left in the third, the Ducks got their second power-play goal of the game, with Patrick Eaves needing only to tap the puck into an open net after a great feed from Antoine Vermette. Eaves, who played for the Dallas Stars and the Ducks this season, scored four times against the Oilers this season.
However, with 1:57 left and the Oilers on the power play, Gibson made a series of saves, but the puck finally fell to Milan Lucic in the crease and he made no mistake. Lucic's goal came off a rebound of a Draisaitl shot.
"It stings because we take a penalty late in the third period," Ducks coach Randy Carlyle said. "We didn't get the puck out along the wall and we (Vermette) took a lazy hooking penalty that we basically forced the referee to call. We had a couple of opportunities to clear the puck on the penalty kill, and we don't get it down the ice."
Ducks defenseman Sami Vatanen left the game in the second period and did not return.
NOTES: The Ducks scratched D Brandon Montour and C Logan Shaw. ... The Oilers scratched RW Iiro Pakarinen, D Matthew Benning, LW Jujhar Khaira and LW Anton Slepyshev. ... ... Oilers bench boss Todd McLellan coached his 700th career NHL game on Saturday, winning his 386th. ... The Ducks earned at least a point in 21 of their last 23 games against the Oilers.
