The river Guadiana, at its seaward end, forms the border between Portugal and Spain and has been a centre of trade for thousands of years. The town of Vila Real St António was rebuilt in the 18th century after being wiped out in a flood and has some typical Algarve-style buildings.
The river is navigable for 20 miles to the town of Alcoutim.
The current can be very strong so plan your entrance carefully.
If yacht is registered in the EU and all her crew are EU nationals, completion of the usual multi-part form in the marina office is sufficient.
Otherwise it is necessary to visit the offices of the Policia Maritima and Imigracao at the Capitania, about 50m south of the marina.
Entrance over the bar is possible 3hrs each side of HW, but is best just before HW due to the strength of the tidal stream. If navigating up river at night, take care as some of the buoys are unlit.
The marina here, is on the west bank of the river. It is a public marina so prices are lower - but occupancy is higher.
Be sure to consider the tide when planning arrival. Currents can be strong. It has been recommended to initially tie to the reception pontoon, which runs the length of the marina before moving to assigned berth. Be aware there is an additional fee charged for yachts that stay on the reception pontoon instead of taking a berth.
If waiting for slack water (advisable) before berthing (or un-berthing), berth on the inside of the waiting pontoon. Mooring on the river side is not permitted.
The Guadiana is navigable all the way up to Pomarão, half way between Alcoutim and Mértola on the east bank of the river. Between Alcoutim and Pomarão it is very beautiful and remote.
Keep to the outside of the river bends as the channel meanders.
There are pontoons off Alcoutim, Sanlúcar and Pomarão and off some smaller villages, some with electricity and water. It is safe to anchor anywhere.
The road bridge beyond the marina, has sufficient clearance for most masted boats, but checking is essential.
See Ayamonte for more information on facilities on this river.
All facilities, fuel pontoon, yacht club, ATM, bar and restaurant (with WiFi), 5 ton crane. Some repairs. Security. Office staff speak English.
The marina is badly affected by both the river current and tides, and should therefore be entered and left near slack water. Berthing is tight and maneuvering can be difficult. Advisable to call on the VHF before entering.
Close to the centre of town.
Blue tiled building at south end of marina basin. Terrace bar and restaurant open to non members.
We stayed here for three nights, September 2018. Luckily we have lots of tidal docking experience, so it all went well. But be forewarned - you need to preplan your entrance here, taking into consideration which way the current is flowing; it can be very strong. We watched several boats try to dock which did not seem to have any clue regarding the current. Thankfully for them, lots of people were around to help them, and the boats they glanced off had fenders on their non-dock side. It is best to just initially tie to the long reception pontoon, which runs the length of the marina. In all likelihood, you will not get a dock and therefore just stay on the reception pontoon. This if fine, as getting in/out of the very tight docks in the ever-present current would be a challenge. Unfortunately, you are charged an extra 'fee' for staying on the reception pontoon, even if there is no room on the docks; we thought that a little underhanded.
The office staff is very nice and speak very good english; the Marinaros much less so. The showers are hot and quite clean, but rather small. The town is nice and not too overrun with tourists. Very unfortunately, we will not return here as there is a 'disco' just outside the marina which starts blasting music at 1800 hours (and I stress the term "VERY LOUD", and does not stop until 0600 hours the next days - this went on the three nights we were there!
We took the ferry to Ayamonte and that's where will go next summer. There were plenty of open docks, no current to deal with once inside the mouth of the harbour, and the town has a much better vibe. There is a huge grocery store "El Jamon" just to the left as you get off the ferry.
I am writing this post to warn boat owners about using the boatyard and repair services of Marina Guadiana. This is the first yard you'll see on the Portuguese side after entering the mouth of the river.
We visited Vila Real de Santo António and Ayamonte in August 2016 and due to rot/water damage to our wooden mast we had to make emergency repairs. We discussed and negotiated with the owner Enrique who assured us he would scarf in a new wood section and repair with epoxy. Our mistake was leaving the boat for a month and not over-seeing the repair work and process.
Later, we got a call saying the original quote had increased by 200%. We had little choice and assumed at least they would do a thorough and competent job. Fast forward a few months and we ended up selling the boat as we sold our house and wanted a bigger boat. I went back to Marina Guadiana on 2 separate occasions to meet the new buyers. I explained the whole process to the new buyers and paid the very expensive repair bill. As the mast had been re-fitted, we all assumed the work had been carried out properly.
After having other problems with the boatyard (not being allowed to work or check their new boat) the new owners set off a few weeks later. They soon ran into problems and discovered no repair work had been carried out, they had only re-varnished over the original problem. They ended up with a major mast failure and near loss of life and the boat was severely damaged. Guadiana Marina blocked and evaded emails and phone calls and refused to take any responsibility. I would definitely recommend boaters to steer well clear of Marina Guadiana.
Marina not the best. Electricity costs an extra fee and there's a 20% surcharge for docking on the long pontoon (the only one that had room for visitors). No Wifi on the pontoons, only in the restaurant. Office and facilities are squeezed into the restaurant building and rather "compact" (have to open the toilet door to stand up). Office staff was polite but very inflexible and told us off for not radioing ahead even though we docked without trouble.
Perhaps this was due to a number of accidents due to the strong current running through the marina. Coming in on the long pontoon is no problem, but turning the boat in the marina is only recommended during slack tide or things can get exciting.
We paid €22.14 for a 12.4m monohull without electricity in early October (on the long pontoon). If you don't care about the town, would advise going into Ayamonte on the other side of the river - cheaper, friendlier and much easier docking. There is a ferry connecting both sides of the river.
The town is very nice though and worth a visit. There is a fuel pontoon slightly upriver from the long pontoon.
At the end of June 2015, we thankfully had a better experience in Vila Real de Santo Antonio than Stan. While we did not get an answer on the radio, a friendly and knowledgeable Marinero was waiting for us at the reception quay.
You should definitely enter or leave the marina at slack water. Contrary to the information in the Navioncs chart, slack water is the time of high tide or low tide and not 3h before.
Manoevering inside the marina for boats more than 35" is not easy as it is very narrow inside and you always have a fast current running except at slack water. 4 marineros appeared one and a half hours before high tide and turned our boat around 180°, using the current to help them, so our bow was pointing towards the harbour exit. At high tide we had slack water and could drive out of the harbour safely. You can tell the time of slack water by the fish.
Costs were €48.76 without water and electricity for a 16m boat.
We visited Vila Real de Santo António (VRSA) in January 2015. Care must be taken when approaching and navigating the river, as some buoys were unlit. Depths in the channel are still good around HW. We never had less than 3m below our keel upon crossing the bar. Mooring on the outside of the large pontoon that separates the marina of VRSA from the river is not allowed - not even to await slack water. The waiting pontoon is on the inside. After checking-in small yachts will be required to move to a berth. Manouevring in the marina is a challenge: spaces are claustrophobic. We had merely a boatlength (we sail a Nicholson 32) to manouever in and out of our berth. Currents can be strong. All of this would be perfectly manageable with proper planning, namely waiting for slack tide to eliminate the current. However the staff run the marina more like a hotel than a port, e.g. you have to "check-out" before 12:00, even if that means manoeuvring out of a crammed marina with 4kn of current. After having complied with the instructions of the staff when manoeuvring into our allocated berth, resulting in damage to our topsides, we insisted on following our own planning when leaving. In spite of some muttering, no extra charges were required for leaving after 12:00(and none would have been paid). Showers are tiny and not very warm. Depths are good. Staff are friendly, but I disliked the unhelpful attitude when it came to basic seamanship and prudence in avoiding damage. I recommend mooring at Ayamonte across the river. (That was our first choice from the start, but the marina turned out to be silted when we arrived.) We also saw several yachts anchored over the shallows behind the green channel marker opposite VRSA marina.


When you live in the Trump bubble, everything positive that happens in the world must be attributed to the great leader, while everything negative must be due to his evil opponents.
In a new article published Monday, Breitbart displayed this delusional thinking in a particularly transparent and pitiful "analysis" of recent economic data.
Writer John Carney pointed to a weak retail sales this month, a trend that has actually been evident for well over a year. If you live with the assumption that President Donald Trump has single-handedly revitalized the American economy an saved the country from the brink of financial collapse (he hasn't), then this sign of economic weakness needs some sort of explanation.
He thinks that so many Trump fans are staying home because of fear of liberals harassing them that it's having a macroeconomic impact on retail sales.
Hilariously, to find evidence for this phenomenon, Carney cites interviews with "more than a dozen Trump supporters." Yet in the entire article, he quoted one "Trump supporting New Yorker" and two Breitbart commenters.
Of course, there's no evidence that there's any kind of "unprecedented level of political harassment" of Trump supporters, notwithstanding a couple of viral news stories Carney links to.
Absent from his "analysis" is any consideration of the fact that Trump's own rhetoric appears to inspire hate crimes against Muslims and other groups. Nor is there any consideration that the high-profile discussions of the pervasiveness of sexual assault — including accusations against figuring including Trump new Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh — might have made women more fearful to participate in the economy at their usual rates.
There's no reason to think those factors explain the recent retail slump, either. To make that assertion would be as spurious as Carney's dubious claim, which is not even close to actual economic analysis.
If you want, you can always point to some negative economic data and propose there's a link to some other political issue you want to talk about — but don't expect anyone to actually take you seriously.

Midway Games Third Quarter 2003 Results
Midway Games issued this morning in a press release and in a conference call, its financial results for the closure of the third quarter ending September 30, 2003. Revenues for this quarter were $11.6 million, down from $52.6 million in the same quarter of 2002. Guidance for the end of the fourth quarter, ending December 31, 2003, project revenues of roughly $38 million. Midway plans to release thirteen domestic titles during that particular quarter.
President of Midway Games, David Zucker, provided the following information on the releases of popular franchise titles in the year 2004. From the conference call:
Our 3rd strategic thrust is to grow our portfolio of existing brands that we own. This means taking franchises like Spy Hunter, Mortal Kombat, Gauntlet, to the next level and making these brands even bigger and better. During the quarter we made significant progress in this area. For the Mortal Kombat franchise we reviewed an internal demo of the next iteration of Mortal Kombat, that we believe will be the most innovative fighting game to date, featuring online functionality and depth never before seen in a 3d fighting game.
Hopefully, this demo or something similar will make its way to the public soon. Also, it is interesting to note that during the call it was mentioned, that while Midway Games is primarily a console-based company, they do expect next year to have a number of PC releases. With Mortal Kombat being the company's top mature rated selling franchise, could it be possible for Mortal Kombat 6 to be released on the PC? It's too early to tell, but with online play confirmed in this next installment, it does leave you wondering.
GameSpot Interviews Midway CEO David Zucker.
GameSpot has published an interview they did with Midway CEO David Zucker, in which a wide variety of topics are covered, including a brief word on Mortal Kombat. From the article:
GS: What do you consider the jewels of Midway's back catalog?
DZ: Mortal Kombat is the best-selling M-rated franchise of all time with over $1 billion in sales via four major sequels since it first launched in 1992. It outsells all other M franchises such as Take-Two's Grand Theft Auto series.
Suffice it to say that Ed Boon and our Mortal Kombat team are busy at work developing the next installment, and we have every reason to believe that it will be the most compelling and innovative fighting game to hit the market when it debuts.
The rest of the interview covers a broad range of topics on how Zucker plans on reinvigorating the company, from Midway's place in the sports gaming business, to the recent hiring of John Romero and Tom Hall. To read the entire article in its entirety, click here.

Blood-Sports.net Names MK Bosses to Greatest Boss List!
Blood-Sports.net, a fan site dedicated to all types of fighting games, has just published an article entitled "The Best Fighting Game Bosses". Among the bosses honored in this article are Goro and Shang Tsung from the original Mortal Kombat, Kintaro from Mortal Kombat II, and Motaro from Mortal Kombat 3! An excerpt from the article involving Goro and Shang Tsung:
Once you knew what you were doing with the gameplay, it essentially wasn't that difficult to play through the regular fights and endurance matches, but once you got to Goro, if you tried adopting the same strategies you were used to using you would be in for a rather nasty shock. Goro was very strong, inflicting some crazy damage with just a single hit, and the damage you actually inflicted on him was reduced to a fraction of the damage those moves would have made on a normal opponent. He had some very strong moves himself and if he managed to pin you into the corner the match was all but over. His downfall was that he did fall into some predictable patterns, and if you learned what they were, you had an upper hand in the fight.
Then you were in for a rude awakening. Feeling pretty confident after beating Goro, you moved on to face Shang Tsung, and you had your backside handed to you on a silver platter. Shang Tsung was even tougher than Goro. He moved extremely fast, and his fireball attacks did insane damage, even if you blocked them. Added to this he had the ability to morph into any character (even Goro) that he felt like, and he did it with such great timing and so quickly that it was all but impossible to predict what he was going to do. Your attacks (when you actually managed to land some) did reduced damage like they did on Goro, but Shang didn't have any particular attack patterns you could try and exploit. If you managed to beat him, you truly were the Mortal Kombat Champion.

Germany to send 1,200 troops to Syria
Johannes Stern@JSternWSWS
Just days after the German government announced it was deploying tornado aircraft, a warship, a tanker plane and satellite technology for combat operations in Syria, the extent and costs of the military mission are becoming increasingly clear.
On Sunday, in a two-page interview with Bild am Sonntag, under the martial headline "Germany's top general declares war," General Volker Wieker revealed that Germany would send at least 1,200 troops to Syria. Wieker said that while the "final decision" on the number of soldiers to be included in the mandate had not yet been made, "from a military point of view… about 1,200 servicemen and women will be necessary for the operation of the aircraft and ships."
On Monday, ARD News reported that a joint cabinet submission by Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier (Social Democratic Party—SPD) and Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen (Christian Democratic Union—CDU) specified "the area of operation as the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea and adjacent sea area," while leaving room for "a possible expansion of the mission." The 16-page text, expected to be approved today by the cabinet, put the cost of the operation at 134 million euros.
This makes the operation in Syria the largest and second most expensive foreign deployment in the history of the Bundeswehr (the post-World War II German armed forces), without even considering likely increases once the deployment begins. As part of NATO missions in Afghanistan and Kosovo, 996 and 907 German soldiers are currently deployed in those countries, respectively.
For the Bundeswehr missions abroad, the Defence Ministry has estimated costs in 2015 of 460 million euros, 263.2 million of which are for Afghanistan. Almost overnight, and without any public debate, a combat intervention has been set in motion whose consequences and final extent are unknown.
There is an additional ominous aspect of the interview with Wieker. Seventy years after the end of World War II, the constitutionally enshrined principle of the primacy of the civilian authorities over the military is being upended. As in the Kaiser's Empire and under the Nazis, the German military is once again playing a central role in the drafting of German foreign and war policy.
In introducing the interview with Wieker, the Bild am Sonntag reported that "Germany's highest-ranking soldier," in "his office in the Defence Ministry," was planning "combat missions against ISIS." In the interview, Wieker at several points explicitly expressed himself politically. The newspaper wrote that the general, when asked "how long the Bundeswehr would be involved in the Syria operation," declared that while the politicians would decide "the duration," the Bundeswehr was "militarily self-sustaining."
Wieker spoke explicitly in favour of deploying ground forces in Syria and announced a massive rearmament of the Bundeswehr. He said ISIS could "certainly not" be defeated simply with air strikes and added that the "best suited troops" for the fight on the ground were those with a "high motivation to defend their own country." From a "military point of view," he continued, "everything that attacks ISIS" was beneficial.
At the end of the interview, the general announced, "Employing about 5.6 billion euros, we will invest heavily in the coming years in the improvement of the operational readiness of the Bundeswehr." Some 650 measures had already been initiated and many of them would show "lasting effect in 2017," he added.
He said the "operational readiness" of the main battle tanks and armoured transport vehicles, ships and submarines, and Tornadoes, Euro fighters and transport aircraft had been improved, but the situation with respect to helicopters was "still not satisfactory."
Monday's cabinet decision was accompanied by a veritable war hysteria on the part of prominent politicians and the media. Von der Leyen published a so-called "Six-Point Plan Against ISIS" in the Bild. In it, she declared that Germany and "everyone in the Alliance" had to show "military strength" and "weaken ISIS, limit its range of movement, destroy its training camps, recapture towns one by one, cut off ISIS' oil revenues, and break its aura of invincibility."
To achieve those goals, a "temporary political marriage of convenience" was needed. "The fight against ISIS must be a top priority," wrote von der Leyen, "for France as well as for the US, China, Russia, Turkey, Iran, the Arab states and us." This meant that, "air strikes must be clearly directed against ISIS, not against the opponents of the dictator Assad, who terrorizes his people with barrel bombs."
In the name of the fight against ISIS, Germany is pursuing a strategy of bringing all the powers to the table to install a puppet regime in Syria, which would allow Berlin to advance its geo-strategic and economic interests throughout the Middle East.
The German generals, politicians and newspaper hacks who beat the drum for a massive German intervention in Syria know well the crimes they are preparing. Stefan Kornelius of the Süddeutsche Zeitung declared Sunday on the ARD "Press Club" program that the intervention in Syria would "not be a clean story" that would produce "moral laurels."
He gave free rein to his dreams of a new round of German colonial policy. Kornelius declared that the withdrawal of Western troops from Afghanistan was a mistake. He said the reorganization of Syria would take "an incredibly long time" and would be "incredibly expensive," noting that nation-building was "a matter of decades, not a few years."
On Monday, the editor of Die Welt, Stefan Aust, who, following the attacks in Paris, called for a "global war on terror," published an apocalyptic article on the likely outcome of the escalating war in Syria. He wrote of a new "Thirty Years' War in the Middle East," and prophesied, "Maybe the year 2015 now coming to an end will go down in history like the last summer of peace in 1913 or the equally desperate and unsuccessful attempt at appeasement before the [second] great conflagration erupted."

UK government censors state-sanctioned report on fracking. The truth is being blocked.
Tue 11:18 am +00:00, 12 Aug 2014 13
An inconvenient truth?
Published time: August 11, 2014 13:05
Edited time: August 11, 2014 22:48
TAP – The government's fracking policies are based on a dodgy dossier – McKay and Stone, in which information published after September 2012 is ignored. The government are acting illegally by ignoring key facts and information to push through the fracking programme. Here they are doing it again. Cameron should be arrested and put on trial, as should Owen Paterson.

The British government's decision to censor an official state report on the impact of fracking on UK property prices and regional services has roused sharp criticism from MPs and campaigners.
As the government maintains its refusal to offer compensation to homeowners situated near proposed shale gas drilling sites, concerned citizens and campaigners are demanding the release of the full, unabridged study.
Following a Freedom of Information (FOI) request tendered to the government, a draft of 'Shale Gas: Rural Economy Impacts' was recently published with extensive sections of the text missing. One particular section of the report, which examines the impact of fracking on house prices, has three entire segments missing.
The government report only referenced research considered 'robust', and noted difficulty in comparing UK locales with overseas districts. It also claimed that the confluence of factors, which drive housing prices upwards or downwards are complex and not easily disentangled.
Notably redacted portions of the study spanned its executive summary, a section on 'Hydrocarbon reserves', another on 'investment and job creation', a third documenting areas 'likely to be affected by shale gas licensing', a segment relating to fracking's economic impacts on rural communities, and large segments relating to the 'social impacts' of shale gas drilling on rural locales.
The controversial report was released by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) in the aftermath of the government's decision to open up two-thirds of England's landmass to a fresh round of bidding for fracking licenses.
'Number of redactions comical'
Prime Minister David Cameron and Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne say shale gas extraction harbors the potential to enrich the UK's economy and decrease energy bills. But many MPs contest this view, expressing deep concerns that fracking will reap environmental damage, disfigure the landscape, and decrease the value of home prices in their local constituencies.

Caroline Lucas, an MP and Green Party representative for Brighton Pavilion, condemned the censoring of the government's report, warning it would compound public concern about the dangers of shale gas drilling.
"It appears that the government has a great deal to hide with regards to the risks of fracking for local communities," she said.
"The number of redactions would be almost comical if it weren't so concerning. What are the economic, social and environment impacts and effects upon housing and local services, agriculture and tourism that the government is so keen to withhold from us?"
Lucas cautioned that the public has a right to know the truth about fracking, and called for "absolute transparency" with respect to government research that examines its dangers.
In a move to offer compensation to people who may be affected by shale gas drilling in their locales, the government has suggested a meager sum of 100,000 pounds in "community benefits" be divided among those living near such sites. But Barbara Richardson, of the Roseacre Awareness Group that opposes fracking in Roseacre, Lancashire, said this offer was an "insult," as certain homeowners in her district are currently unable to sell their properties.
"People do not want community benefits, they want restitution," Richardson emphasized.
Widespread calls for compensation
Labour MP for Worsely and Eccles South, Barbara Keeley, has joined the chorus of campaigners, politicians and UK citizens calling for compensation for those whose houses may depreciate in value as a result of fracking.
"I know that people living near to the Barton Moss IGas drilling site are very concerned about loss of value in their house prices due to the drilling. They are also concerned that house insurance premiums may increase substantially," she told the Guardian.
"One couple trying to sell their home told me that no one came to view the house at all since the drilling started. The government should consider the need for compensation for residents negatively affected by shale gas operations," she added.

On the question of why multiple and extensive portions of the report had been redacted and obscured from public knowledge, a government spokesperson claimed there is "no evidence that house prices have been affected in over half a century of oil and gas exploration in the UK or evidence that this would be the case with shale."
"This government believes that shale has a positive part to play in our future energy mix, providing energy security, driving growth and creating jobs", the spokesperson added.
A DEFRA letter which accompanied the report defended the government's decision to withhold elements of its findings. Emphasizing piecemeal transparency with respect to this research was in the "public interest," DEFRA claimed state officials had to carefully "consider implications of potential impacts" relating to the "development of the shale gas industry."
The withholding of such information would allow for the developing of options with respect to fracking, and essentially mitigate "the risk that disclosure of early thinking could close down discussion" on this form of energy extraction, DEFRA argued.
Concerns regarding the government's strategic suppression of vital information relating to this report are followed by the release of a recent poll, which claims 57 percent of UK citizens are in favor of fracking. But Greenpeace emphasizes that the research, financed by energy firm UK Onshore Oil and Gas, lacks independence and is a skewered portrayal of British public opinion on the issue.

(I know Im on the right track:-
a) NO-ONE else ever mentions it
b) I suspect this is why my mentor got murdered for
(I've known since 09, I've ALWAYS brought it up in regards to Israel, Zionism, Rothschild)
If you want to know the TRUTH regarding Israel, Zionism… Rothschild and co… you gotta look at the TRILLIONS (valued in 1927!) in untapped mineral wealth, in and around The Dead Sea (this goes back to 1927, before)…

The biggest threat to Israel and The Jewish people… NETANYAHU! 😉
I call for The Mossad to take out Netanyahu! Do it for Israel! Do it for the Jewish people! lol :p
I'm delighted and encouraged to see so many people express their anti-fracking feelings around the country and even more so those MPs who have taken the initiative to be outspoken regarding the UK government's fracking policy.
The prime responsibility of government is its duty of care towards its subjects. This government – along with many past governments – has failed in this duty of care.
The government has either forgotten the meaning of duty of care which is a moral or legal obligation to ensure the safety or well-being of its citizens and their property or they have decided to renege their responsibility in favour of big business and profit.
The government – through council planning department – also through duty of care have a legal duty to protect the amenities of the area under licence to be fracked. Amenities include land, water and air which if disturbed in any way to have a detrimental impact on the visual or ecological aspect of the area or the well-being of the population of the community would be in any sane instance be banned.
DEFRA; Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs, like so many other government institutions are only there to be seen to be doing something but in reality do very little, much like our Scottish SEPA, (Scottish Environmental Protection Agency) all mouth and no action.
So where is Defra in all of this fracking business? Where is this saviour whom alone defeats all who dare to pollute and destroy the environment? Where is this champion of the cause? – No Fracking Where!!
I recall from the late 50s on black and white telly the propaganda put out by the Macmillan government of the day that nuclear energy was the free energy of the future. Well, that didn't happen and nor will shale gas be any different.
Gordon.
A Biblical prophgecy is unfolding before your very eyes!
(im on about Israel, Zionism and The Dead Sea)… seriously!
THIS HAS GOT PEOPLE RATTLED!
Im risking my God damn life putting this out!
http://www.naturalnews.com/046359_oregon_rainwater_collection_big_governemnt.html
Well said Gordon!
Is it not possible to get a 'class action' against these individuals (name and shame them) who ignore their duty of care, and make them realise where their legal responsibilities lie?
The Veritopian says:
Gordon: "The government has either forgotten the meaning of duty of care…"
Gordon & Jennifer. Government is a fraud. When it says 'duty of care', it means 'to the usurers'. It *never* served the people. It was never intended to serve the people. Government *pretends* to be legitimate, and to serve, but it never was and never did.
The whole legal system is a fraud, and if you think you can try the government in it's own courts, you are deluded. Government is utterly opposed to the real law, and to the people, it is a monumental fraud (See 'Jimmy Savile'). It is irredeemable and unreformable. It is no more able to stop doing crime than a lawyer is able to stop lying. Their jobs depend on crime.
Their only constraint is they have to appear to try to do the right thing on occasion.
There is no 'government', there is only mafia. Stop giving credence to the fraud. Government is an illusion, it's law is a fake, they're just *saying* they have the right to run our lives, but they do not.
The true law is 'Do no harm'. Anyone who claims they have the right to do harm is a criminal. It's *really* simple.
well… I know believe I am the most amazing man on the planet!
(aswell as maybe Aang… Vladmir Putin… a few others… MARK PASSIO!)… the rest of you are fucking morons!
I'M GOING FOR IT!!! YA'LL KNOW IT!!! FUCK YOU IF CAN'T HANDLE OR DON'T LIKEI IT!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEIKYCy7crE
'Moi? complete opposite of Mark Passio?… :/ not really?'
Veritopian, yes, it's a fraud. But to use their system against them by challenging it publically in the courts – then maybe those who are unaware of the corruption and 'scam' may start to get it? They can't operate their fraud so easily when the masses are watching and there's still a pretence of democracy.
How else do we start to chip away at this hydra-headed beast?
Whether it is fracking, gmo, chemtrails, debasement of education and health and religion, freemasonry and secret cabals, bought-and-paid-for-blackmailed politicians and other public servants, globalist CEO's, banksters, military/industrial complex, CFR, and Committees of 13 to 300, etc.
We can start to pick away at any point where we can. What other option is there?

The Veritopian.
Exactly. Organised crime runs the world, it always has. Christ took them on and paid with his life. What else were the Pharisees?
The worrying thing is that they have always hid behind their PR agents, banks, church, the illusion of elected government.
Now they no longer even bother to try to keep up the facade. The gangsters are in plain view, the only way things will change is for those who do their biding & carry out their murders and fraud to refuse or start to work against them, hence we have the likes of Common Purpose etc being used to recruit non thinking bullyboy (and girl) thugs to unwittingly do their crimes.
And this is why so many in the public eye are having "suicides" and "accidents", those who have come too close to the heat of the beast and paid for it with their lives

By cutting at it's heart, instead of it's heads… When you cut off one it's heads, two new ones grow in it's place… 😉
The heart of the beast is it's right to rule. As long as you play it's game, using it's courts and it's law, you give it your power. By accepting the beast's authority in any form, you have lost before you start.
The law belongs to the people, not government.

These crochet snood patterns are available for £1.95 GBP each.
Better still, you can buy the bear snood and the foxy snood together for a reduced price of £2.90 with this link.
Snuggly warm and ever so cute! The crochet snood patterns give instructions to work in sizes to suit ages 1-3 years, 3-10 years and 10 – adult. There is no reason why the pattern cannot be worked smaller as a photo prop for babies but, I don't recommend the use of a snood for small babies.

/ Academics / Majors & Minors / International Relations and Security Studies
International Relations and Security Studies
In an increasingly global society, the ability to respect and understand a variety of cultures is essential for international business or government work. To prepare you for work in the global world, we offer a major (BA) or minor in international relations and security studies.
You'll take classes in economics, history, political science, religion, and sociology. And you choose a geographic area of concentration for more in-depth study.
Foreign language study is important, with one 3-credit hour intermediate language course required (beyond the general foreign language requirement). Some international relations and security studies majors choose to minor or double major in a foreign language.
For majors, a study abroad experience or internship gives you first-hand experience of what you've learned about in class.
Your in-class learning becomes even more relevant when you apply it in the European Union or Model United Nations simulations, where you compete against teams from other colleges and universities.
What Kind of Job Can I Get?
International relations and security studies majors often work in:
Government: Department of Defense, CIA, NSA, congressional staff
International business, abroad or in the United States
Humanitarian non-profit groups
Teaching or research
What Are Some of Our Graduates Doing?
Special Agent, US Department of Homeland Security
Manager, Monitoring, Analysis & Reporting, AmeriCares Foundation
Special Assistant to the Senior Vice President, American Medical Association
Senior Manager – US India Business Council, US Chamber of Commerce
Intelligence Analyst, US Government

Dr. Sabita Manian, Associate Dean of the University of Lynchburg School of Social Sciences, gave a talk on identity and politics at the prestigious Spaienza University of Rome in Italy on May 21, 2019. Dr. Manian, who also teaches in the International Relations and Security Studies program at the University of Lynchburg, gave a talk entitled "Diaspora and India; Identity, Religion and Foreign Policy." The Sapienza University of Rome, also known as Sapienza or the University of Rome, is a collegiate research university located in Rome, Italy. Formally known as Università degli Studi di Roma "La Sapienza", it is one of the largest European universities by enrollments and one of the oldest in history, founded in 1303.
Dr. David Richards, Chair, International Relations and Security Studies, on left and Clay Edwards, right
On April 4, 2019, the International Relations and Security Studies Program hosted a lecture by Clay Edwards on "Understanding the Terrorist Planning Cycle." Mr Edwards, a retired Federal Marshal and currently employed by DSA Detection LLC, spoke on the 6 main segments of the typical terrorism planning cycle and how law enforcement seeks to disrupt this cycle at certain points. Student's attending the lecture had an opportunity at the end of the lecture to ask questions and speak with Mr. Edwards about how the job application process works in the Federal Government.
This March 2019, the University of Lynchburg's National Model UN team, representing the Republic of Estonia, went to New York City for the annual Model UN simulation.
Dr. Sabita Manian led this year's delegation to win two Position Paper Awards and an Honorable Mention Delegation Award! One of the University's head delegates, Dylan McLaurin, presented a half-minute speech at the UN General Assembly itself to great applause from his peers attending from all over the world.
The student delegate's speech this year at the floor of the UN on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are to be archived in the United Nations, and our university's name is mentioned in Dylan's speech. The President of the actual UN General Assembly (H.E. Maria Fernanda Espinosa Garces) said that she and others will be paying close attention to what the students have proposed to see how those ideas may be put into action. Dylan McLaurin's speech and idea for the SDGs (a product of our team) may well bear positive consequences for the world.
Dr. Manian notes "I have witnessed our Model UN students' hard work, diligence and splendid performance (recordings of their 1-minute long terrific speeches are on our Estonia-University of Lynchburg Facebook page). These are indeed some of our very best students and eight of the eighteen students are from Westover Honors. I feel grateful for the opportunity to teach these stellar students!"
Dr. Manian would like to thank the University for supporting this high impact experiential learning program that also allows our students to gain leadership skills in a very diverse setting. Our students would not be gaining this invaluable experience if it were not for the support of the University of Lynchburg faculty.
Students can take part in the Model UN simulation through a for-credit course each spring at the University of Lynchburg.

Hans Im Gluck: from Germany with burgers
Following a holiday in Singapore last year, a restaurateur couple has returned to open a casual gourmet burger restaurant, Hans Im Gluck, in Orchard Road.
The brand's 50th outlet and first outpost in Asia, it specialises in vegan, vegetarian, beef and chicken burgers served alongside salads, tea infusions and cocktails.
Hans Im Gluck was launched seven years ago by Gunilla Hirschberger, a vegan, who set herself the goal of shaking up Germany's meat-focused dining scene. The 53-year-old Munich-based Swede saw a gap in the market for vegan-friendly offerings at burger restaurants, and with her German husband Thomas Hirschberger opened the first Hans Im Gluck in 2010, named after a German fairytale by the Brothers Grimm.
They now run 49 outlets in Germany and Austria, with more coming up in Italy and Switzerland.
Meanwhile, the Singapore restaurant is in a purpose-built outlet between International Building and the Royal Thai Embassy. Next year, the couple will open two more outlets – at Boat Quay and at Republic Plaza, Raffles Place.
For 15 years, the Hirschbergers ran a Californian-Mexican restaurant chain with 40 outlets across Germany, which they have since sold. When they visited Singapore they say they felt an instant connection to the city.
"Singapore has a good spirit and is full of different kinds of cultures. People here are open-minded and happy to see new things," says Gunilla. "The city is innovative and has a good flow."
Their Singapore store features imported German-made oak furniture and 180 birch logs, installed throughout the restaurant to resemble a German forest. The menu, which looks like a children's storybook, features 30 burgers.
It has its own sauces including vegan mayonnaise and orange mustard, as well as multigrain and sourdough buns made exclusively for the chain and sent frozen from Germany.
At 4000sqft (370sqm) and seating 180 diners, the restaurant is small compared with the German outlets, of which 23 are family-owned. Those restaurants are usually about 10,000sqft with about 400 seats, excluding the terrace.
The Singapore restaurants are wholly owned by the Hirschbergers, and the chain is looking to expand into other parts of Asia, including Hong Kong and Taipei.

Q: Using NSSegmentedControl with CoreData I have a Core Data app that works to add or remove one of a Client's many Appointments with buttons bound in IB to my appointments ArrayController. The appointments content is derived from whichever Client is selected in a feed list.
I wish to use a SegmentedControl, and as far as I could tell, this requires I programmatically add and remove the objects in appointments. I have successfully managed to add an Appointment using Marcus Zarra's code from his book Core Data on p54, but I am at a loss to remove a selected Appointment. I am using a custom table cell, which I suspect might be complicating matters.
In short, I wish to programmatically achieve the equivalent of an ArrayController's remove: method on a selected object.
Can anyone help, please?

A: Thanks, Martin. My code eventually looked like this.
-(IBAction) notesEditorSegClicked:(id)sender{

Abell 61 (PLN 77+14.7) is a rarely imaged, faint planetary nebula in the consetallation of Cygnus located at RA 16hr 19m 31s and DEC +46d 15m 49s. North is to the left in the image, east is down and the field is ~22 arcmin. Abell 61 is about 3.4′ in diameter and mostly round. Abell (1966) described it as "incomplete rings with gaps". The central (mag 17) variable star is WD1917+461. Abell 61 is interacting with the interstellar medium according to Tweedy and Kwitter (As.J. v108/4, 1994, p188), which may help to explain the brightened, distinct rim toward the WNW (upper left) compared to a fainter, and what appears to be a disrupted rim toward the ESE (lower right). The expansion velocity is 30 km/s. Photometric analyses of central star are typical of an unreddened hot star with Teff > 60,000K. Its distance is unknown.
There was an expectation that OIII would dominate this object, but the H-a signal was quite strong. In addition, the 3 nm narrowband filters show internal structure within the nebula to the point where it appears that there are two rings, both of which are disrupted in the ESE (lower right), perhaps corresponding to the gap mentioned by Abell. It may be possible that we are looking at two superimposed lobes of bipolar planetary nebula. There is not much written about Abell 61 in the scientific literature. There is additional structure within the central portion. RGB data were added based upon a G2V white point for star color. A number of small, faint galaxies can be seen in the background.

I just upgraded over the previous version on Windows 10 and I get "folder not found" on all my media folders (network or local). Am I missing something?

Does the user (and admin even) have the necessary permissions to access folders?
What is the purpose of the "DEBUG AbstractDao" process when the new version of subsonic starts?
Everything is crazy sluggish since update. Like 10-30 second lag after clicking anything.
And previously rock solid Sonos connection has been flaky: tough time connecting and maintaining connection.
Where does one see artist bios and most played tracks? Haven't stumbled upon that yet.
I log onto the demo server and see the artist info, radio and most played tracks now.
Yet I don't get that info on any of my artists?
Anyway, here's a Pastebin of my log file- still not sure why artist info is not showing up. Maybe there's something in there that explains it.
wow, this beta was definitely not ready for prime time. Brutal.
Whereas my upgrade was uneventful. I like the new menu option more than I'd imagined.

Can you please check if any process on your computer is using a lot of cpu?

It logs all database queries that take more than two seconds (to identify performance problems). This logging is only enabled in beta versions.

Q: How to add an element to a vector in a map Right now my code is looping through a text file and adding to a map the kgrams and characters that follow. The keys are strings and the values are vectors. But how do I add an element to the vector associated with the key?
Here is the code for adding that value, but it doesn't seem to be working.
for (int i = 0; i < wrapAround.length(); i++)
{
    temp = i + order;
    kgram[wrapAround.substr(i, temp)].add(temp++); //add value to the vector associated with key
}

I have an if statement later on to see if the values later on are in the map, and it never is true... I am not sure why.

A: The second argument to string::substr in C++ is length and not ending position.
Try accessing the k-gram like this instead: wrapAround.substr(i, order)

A: I'll leave the substring indexing up to you but to add items to a C++ vector you use .push_back() or .push_front():
kgram[..].push_back(temp++);

Nonetheless do not know a lot about Shah Rukh Khan, barely watch movies: Himanta
January 23, 2023 January 23, 2023 JohnLeave a Comment on Nonetheless do not know a lot about Shah Rukh Khan, barely watch movies: Himanta
Picture Supply : PTI Actor Shah Rukh Khan (L) and Assam CM (R)
Himanta Sarma controversy: Amid criticisms over his swift transition from "Who's Shah Rukh Khan" to "SRK referred to as me", Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Monday clarified that he nonetheless would not know a lot in regards to the actor, and hardly watches motion pictures. The CM additionally mentioned that he harbours little information in regards to the Hindi movie trade.
"I've seen movies of Amitabh Bachchan, Dharmendra and Jeetendra……I nonetheless don't know a lot about Shah Rukh Khan. Since 2001, I've seen no more than six to seven movies," he mentioned at a press convention in Guwahati.
Speaking about his dialog with the megastar, Sarma mentioned that he had acquired a textual content message from the actor on Saturday at 7:40 pm, which said, 'I'm Shah Rukh Khan. I need to discuss to you'.
"There have been many within the queue who wished to speak to me. After clearing these, a message was despatched to him (Shah Rukh) at 2 am on Sunday saying that I used to be obtainable for a name. He then referred to as me and mentioned that his movie was releasing quickly and that he hoped there received't be any drawback. "I requested him the identify of his movie and he mentioned 'Pathaan'. I advised him 'koi disturb nahi hoga' (there will likely be no disturbances)," the CM recounted.
Sarma on boycott gang
On the boycott calls given towards the film, Sarma mentioned that these prepared to look at the movie will achieve this and the remainder can skip it. The CM asserted that his authorities, nonetheless, "won't let Assam get a nasty identify". Requested about his "Who's Shah Rukh Khan" comment, the chief minister retorted, "Why ought to I do know him? I actually didn't know that he was such an ideal man….I don't watch many movies. I learn about older actors. The attraction for stars varies throughout generations.
"Moreover, I do not know your complete three crore individuals of the state and even my voters to whom I'm indebted to," he added. Referring to 'Pathaan' poster vandalisation by right-wingers who additionally sought a ban on the movie, Sarma famous that tearing down of posters was no crime and sought to know underneath what legislation they need to be booked.
"Posters of politicians are torn down on a regular basis however there isn't a dialogue on that. It's time individuals modified their mindset," he added. Bajrang Dal activists had just lately stormed a cinema corridor within the Narengi space and tore down posters of 'Pathaan', burnt these and raised slogans towards the movie.
'Pathaan', starring Khan, Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, will hit the theatres on January 25.

Mozilla won't be building Firefox for iOS unless Apple changes its rules, a company executive said Saturday.
Jay Sullivan, Mozilla's vice president of product at Mozilla, told an audience at South by Southwest Interactive (SxSW) that the company is not building an iOS browser, and has no plans to.
CNET reported Sullivan's no-iOS-here on Saturday, after a CNET reporter moderated a panel at SxSW that also included representatives from Opera Software and MoboTap, a San Francisco developer of Dolphin, a WebKit-powered browser for Android and iOS.
Sullivan's comment was the strongest signal yet that Mozilla has no interest in drafting an iOS Firefox. But it wasn't the first.
Last September, Mozilla pulled the plug on Firefox Home, a spin-off of the desktop browser's bookmark and tab synchronization technology that was the firm's only iOS app.
"We have decided to remove Firefox Home from the Apple App Store and focus our resources on other projects," said Mike Conner, director of services engineering, at the time.
Mozilla's animus toward iOS goes back even further, to 2011, when it reiterated it would not build Firefox for Apple's operating system, and to 2009, when then-CEO John Lilly said it would be very unlikely to offer Firefox on iOS.
While Mozilla once left the door open to porting Firefox to iOS, it never made the move. Instead, the open-source developer committed resources to Firefox OS, a browser-based mobile operating system. Handsets powered by Firefox OS are to launch later this year from Alcatel One Touch, Huawei Technologies, LG Electronics and ZTE.
Other browser makers have bent to Apple's rules: Google has released an iOS version of Chrome, and Opera, which recently announced it would switch to a WebKit, will have the option of doing the same.
For many of the same reasons, Mozilla has declined to develop a browser for Windows RT and its "Modern" -- still called "Metro" by most -- tile-based user interface (UI). Microsoft requires that other browsers utilize Windows RT APIs (application programming interfaces) that would result in a Firefox "so crippled in terms of power and speed that it's probably not worth it to even bother," Mozilla's director of Firefox said last May.
Mozilla and other browser makers are at a significant disadvantage in mobile minus an iOS application. According to Web metrics company Net Applications, nearly one in every eight people who browsed the Web last month did so from a mobile device -- smartphone or tablet -- and iOS accounted for 54.9% of the global mobile operating system usage.
Safari is the overwhelming leader in mobile because it's the default browser on iOS: 55.4% of the mobile browsers used in February were a version of Safari.
Last month, Chrome held a 2% share, primarily on Android, while Firefox accounted for just 0.02%, also on Android.
Mozilla was not immediately available to confirm Sullivan's comments.

Zoë Paleologos, senare känd som Sofia Palaiologina, född mellan 1440 och 1449, död 7 april 1503, var storfurstinna av Moskva, gift med storfurst Ivan III av Moskva.

Biografi

Sofia var dotter till den bysantinske prinsen Thomas Palaiologos, despot av Morea, och brorsdotter till Bysans siste kejsare, Konstantin XI Palaiologos. Hennes familj flydde till Rom efter den osmanska erövringen av Morea 1460. Även om hon föddes som ortodox, är det möjligt att hon fick en katolsk uppfostran.

År 1469 föreslog påve Paulus II ett äktenskap mellan henne och Ivan av Moskva för att försöka ena den katolska och ortodoxa kyrkan. Den 12 november 1472 gifte de sig i Moskva. Hennes namn ändrades då till Sofia.

Sofia anses ha utövat inflytande över Ivans politik. Hon beskrivs som en "slug" kvinna vars förslag Ivan rättade sig efter. Hon ogillade Ivans rituella underkastelse som vasall under tatarerna 1472, och övertalade honom att bryta Moskvas tribut till tatarerna (1480). Hon införde det bysantinska hovceremonielet i Moskva.

År 1497 lät Ivan III arrestera ett flertal kvinnor som brukade besöka Sofia och som han lät dränka, därför att han misstänkte att de var häxor som försökte sälja gift till Sofia att mörda honom med.

Till skillnad från övriga kungliga och adliga kvinnor i Ryssland, levde Sofia inte isolerad i terem. Hon tog emot de utländska sändebuden på samma vis som drottningarna i Västeuropa. 1502, ett år före sin död, övertalade hon sin make att utse hennes son Vasilij till tronföljare istället för hans sonson Dmitrij, som hade utsetts till kronprins 1498.

Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson East reveals she suffered a miscarriage
By Rachel DeSantis
Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson revealed that she learned she was expecting her first child and miscarried in a whirlwind span of 48 hours.
Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson East revealed Saturday that she learned she was expecting her first child and miscarried in a whirlwind span of 48 hours.
The gymnast, 25, shared a video titled "pregnancy + heartbreak" to her YouTube channel, and recounted the emotional journey alongside husband Andrew East.
"Today's video is a little bit sensitive," she said. "It's not the happiest video but we feel like a lot of people go through it so we wanted to share it."
The clip kicked off with Johnson recording her reaction to her two positive pregnancy tests, and eventually telling her husband with a tiny pair of his favorite shoes, Converse.
"Definitely wasn't planning this, but it's really, really exciting!" she said.
But her tears of joy quickly turned sour, as just the next day, she began bleeding and suffering stomach pains.
Johnson and East recorded their trip to the doctor's office, where an ultrasound confirmed the sad news that she had miscarried.
Shawn Johnsona and her husband Andrew East revealed Saturday that Shawn suffered a miscarriage just days after learning she was pregnant. (Shawn Johnson East via YouTube)
"It's been a roller coaster of a few days," she said. "We just got back from the doctor and I'm no longer pregnant, somehow lost the pregnancy already. It sucks. Definitely no fun. I felt like, going into it, we didn't even know if we were ready for it, we weren't sure if we could do it, and we were overwhelmed."
"Yeah we were scared, we were overwhelmed, but then we talked about it and we started getting excited about it," East said as his wife held back tears.
Despite the setback, Johnson — who snagged a gold medal and three silvers at the 2008 Beijing Olympics — said she's staying optimistic, and hopes to grow her family soon.
"It won't stop us," she said.
Johnson and East wed in April 2016.
