Boom Racing continues to push the envelope on developing the next generation of extreme performance scale crawling tires. The new 1.9 XS HUSTLER M/TX MC1 does just that. The size is 4.19x1.46 ... and they dubbed it MC1 or Max Class 1. This new tire is based on the HUSTLER M/TX 4.45 design that was released in early 2017.
The new tire has a long name - Boom Racing HUSTLER M/T Xtreme 1.9 4.19x1.46 SNAIL SLIME™ compound Rock Crawler Tires W/ 2-Stage Foams (HUSTLER MC1). The long name is justified by the amount of tire technology all packed into one scale RC tire. While keeping the unique features of the original HUSTLER design, a few additional features can be found on the new HUSTLER MC1: Thicker tire carcass all around to hold the lugs better, giving drivers more control and better predictability. Smaller lugs (approx. 3.3mm) in proportion as compared to the larger 4.45x1.57 tire for traction bite as well as scale looks. Where other mainstream tires might find themselves struggling, the HUSTLER MC1 tire is designed to hook up on the toughest lines and do work for you. The lugs act as little claws and grab onto any surface they come in contact. With these tires there is less chances for drivers to look for alternative drive lines.
A brand new 2-stage open/closed foam is developed and is included with the tires ... Boom Racing continues to deliver "the best bang for the buck" - the new cell foams have a thick closed cell inner foam to maintain tire sidewall strength, and a soft outer open cell foam to let the tire sink into the surface. The HUSTLER MC1 is made for extreme all-around crawling in rocks, mud and sand.
Self clean feature for mud, sand and debris out of the tread to prevent caking.
The entire carcass is reinforced on the inside to hold the sidewall and lugs on top.
Very tall and big lugs for a Class 1 tire with deep sipes to grab rocks like gangbusters.
Scale details on the tire like wear bars between the lugs and lots of scale details on the tire face.
Open-cell/closed-cell 2-stage foam prevents the tire from folding under pressure.
The 2-Stage open-cell/closed-cell foam combo provides the perfect factory setting for the HUSTLER tire.


A seriously extended reissue of The Group's only album, originally released on Hi-Hat in 1978. The music is influenced by Weather Report, and the jazz, fusion and prog scenes of the '70s. The second disc features extended studio recordings with the Sibelius Academy Orchestra, plus two studio outtakes from the original album sessions. This DOUBLE-CD is presented in a digipack. vart presents a heavily extended reissue of The Group's only album, originally released on Finnlevy's prog rock imprint Hi-Hat in 1978. The 2nd LP features an extended studio session with the Sibelius academy orchestra, and the extra 7? has two studio outtakes from the original album. Highly influenced by Weather Report and the jazz fusion scene of the 70s, The Group was set up after Pekka Pohjola and Vesa Aaltonen came back to Finland from Sweden. They both played in the Swedish prog/jazz rock band Made in Sweden. As The Group's guitarist Seppo Tyni remembers, Aaltonen came back to Finland in early 1977 and Pohjola later in the summer. From the early 1977 Aaltonen and Tyni both played in Olli Ahvenlahti Quintet that for example performed at the Finnish Eurovision qualification (though they played as a quartet there). The quartet (Olli Ahvenlahti, Seppo Tyni, Vesa Aaltonen, Heikki "Häkä Virtanen) was the backing band for Markku Blomqvist who performed his song Liehuva liekinvarsi. If you listen to the song, it couldn't be much more further in style from The Group's material. However just in a matter of few months three of the band members would play in the jazz fusion quartet called The Group. "This band was very remarkable for me as I had just moved to Helsinki from Pori in 1976. I played in the Swedish Theatre for one season and it led me to meet other musicians of my age like Häkä Virtanen. Then I met Olli Ahvenlahti and Vesa Aaltonen. It was the first time I got to play with real professionals", Tyni remembers.

Boko Haram sets churches on fire in latest attack on Cameroon's Far North

ROUM VILLAGE, CAMEROON (ANS – January 29, 2018) — Residents of Roum village in the Far North region of Cameroon woke up to two churches and many houses ablaze on the night of January 15th. The fire was claimed by Boko Haram militants, who had stormed the village late at night. Four people were killed.
According to World Watch Monitor (https://www.worldwatchmonitor.org/), apart from the Union des Eglise Evangelique (UEEC) Church and a Catholic church, the fire also destroyed 93 huts, 20 food storehouses, and 11 motorbikes, a local newspaper reported.
On the same night, a health center belonging to the UEEC, not far from Roum, was reported attacked.
Earlier this month, Nigeria-based Boko Haram militants attacked other towns in the same region, such as Mozogo and Moskota.
"We hear it and it almost means nothing again to us because they come in and loot and make away with our property," a church leader in Moskota told World Watch Monitor. "During one of such attacks, they made away with several cows belonging to the population. We tried to run away also when they came, and sometimes we just grow weary of running when they attack, but we can't help it."
The parts of the Far North region that share a border with Nigeria have been most affected by Boko Haram's insurgency. The department of Mayo-Tsanga, which includes Mozogo and Moskota, is one of the militants' constant targets.
In August 2017, six siblings were kidnapped from Moskota during a night raid by Boko Haram, during which their father, Adamu Nguda, was killed and their mother left behind in a state of total shock. Nguda was a church elder in Mouldougwa before the family became displaced and moved to Moskota. The children, between the ages of three and 15, were able to escape from captivity and were later found near the border with Nigeria by a group of vigilantes.
Boko Haram started carrying out attacks over the border in Cameroon's Far North in 2013.
The violence worsened after President Paul Biya vowed in May 2014 to "declare war" on the group. In response, the jihadists launched an offensive against army positions and several other locations, causing great damage to local populations, especially the churches.
According to the UNHCR, the Boko Haram insurgency has caused more than 170,000 people in the Far North region to flee their homes, while the area has received at least 73,000 Nigerian refugees escaping the jihadists' attacks at home, although many of them have started to return to Nigeria in the last couple of years. A great number of the displaced are Christians.
In spite of Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari's claims that Boko Haram had been defeated, the group carried out 150 attacks in 2017 — mostly in Nigeria, but also in Cameroon, Niger and Chad — and this was 23 more attacks than in 2016, according to the BBC.

Relating to the Board of Nursing; to add Section 34-21-2.1 to the Code of Alabama 1975, relating to the powers and duties of the Board of Nursing; to clarify rulemaking authority of the Board of Nursing regarding state and federal antitrust laws and to establish that anti-competitive rules which prioritize patient safety and wellness are permissible.
Section 34-21-2.1 is added to the Code of Alabama 1975, to read as follows: §34-21-2.1. (a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (1) The power to make rules regulating the practice of nursing includes the power to prohibit unlicensed persons from practicing nursing and the power to regulate how licensed persons practice nursing. (2) A primary goal of the provision of health care is to prioritize patient safety and wellness. (3) The State Board of Nursing is in the best position to determine the nursing practices that prioritize patient safety and wellness. (4) Prioritizing patient safety and wellness may sometimes be at odds with the goals of state and federal anti-trust laws, which include prioritizing competition and efficiency. (5) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section to immunize the Board of Nursing and its members from liability under state and federal anti-trust laws for the adoption of a rule that prioritizes patient safety and wellness but may be anti-competitive. (b) Subject to subsection (c), rules adopted under Sections 34-21-2, 34-21-85, or 34-21-87 may define and regulate the practice of nursing in a way that prioritizes patient safety and wellness, even if the rule is anti-competitive. (c) A rule adopted under Section 34-21-2, 34-21-85, or 34-21-87 may supplement or clarify any statutory definition but may not conflict with any statute that defines the practice of nursing including, but not limited to, the definitions set forth in Sections 34-21-1 and 34-21-81. (d) Nothing in this section shall be construed to constrict or expand the current rights and privileges of any individual governed by the Board of Nursing beyond that which existed prior to the ruling in the United States Supreme Court decision N.C. State Bd. of Dental Examiners v. FTC, 135 S.Ct. 1101(2015). (e) Nothing in this section shall be construed to constrict or expand the current duties or responsibilities of the members of the Board of Nursing in any context outside of federal or state anti-trust immunity beyond that which existed prior to the ruling in the United States Supreme Court decision N.C. State Bd. of Dental Examiners v. FTC, 135 S.Ct. 1101(2015).

Home Markets Snapdeal to route new funding into logistics, fintech
Snapdeal to route new funding into logistics, fintech
Online marketplace player Snapdeal said the $200 million investment it received would be utilised to strengthen its logistics, while some of the investment would also go into the financial technology (fintech) side of the business.
Snapdeal had on Sunday announced that Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan – one of the world's largest pension funds – and Singapore-based investment entity Brother Fortune Apparel invested $200 million in the company.
"It is not a fund raising round per se. Fund raising happens when the company goes to investors to ask for more monies. We have enough cash in bank right now and might not go for a fresh funding round anytime soon. This is the result of inbound interest by investors," said a company executive.
Backed by Japan's SoftBank Group Corp, it plans to spend more on logistics and technology to better compete with Flipkart and Amazon India. It has already spent around $35 million to buy about 50 per cent stake in logistics services company GoJavas.
Although the company has not earmarked money for investments in different verticals, it would spend a substantial amount in making its financial technology arm Freecharge stronger. "The growth of fintech is already happening in a phased manner. But, yes, the company would be investing more in Freecharge," the executive added.
With this round of funding, Snapdeal's valuation has gone past $6.5 billion, up from around $5 billion last August when it raised $500 million from a group of investors including Alibaba and Foxconn Technology. E-commerce major Flipkart's valuation is pegged at around $15 billion.
Snapdeal has raised around $2 billion so far.
Sources said the next round of funding might not happen anytime soon and the company does not plan to make any fresh acquisitions as well.
"We continue to make targeted investments in building internal and external capabilities that will enable us to consistently deliver optimal experience for the millions of buyers and sellers who transact daily on Snapdeal," Anup Vikal, chief financial officer of Snapdeal, had said earlier.
Over the past two years, Snapdeal has made significant investments in technology and in complementary acquisitions in pursuit of its stated aim to build India's most reliable commerce ecosystem. Founded in 2010, Snapdeal has 275,000 sellers, 30 million-plus products and a reach of 6,000 towns and cities across the country.
Ontario Teachers is Canada's largest single-profession pension plan with $154.5 billion in net assets.

Now you can use that same powerful technology to protect your iPad. The film shields your iPad, keeping it as perfect as the day you took it out of the box.


Agile teams move faster when cycle times are short and code deployments are frequent. To release often, a robust suite of automated tests is a must-have. Tests are the safety net that enables fearless change. Throughout a software system's lifespan, its test suite grows, evolves, and decays.
The time is now to rethink the way you and your teams build, test and deliver applications. In this session, we will share the insights, best practices and software innovation to address the challenge of rapid delivery of today's user-centric applications.
You're familiar with agile and, perhaps, practicing Scrum. Now you're curious about Kanban. Is it right for your project? How does Kanban differ from Scrum and other agile methodologies? From theory to practice, Gil Irizarry introduces Kanban principles and explains how Kanban's emphasis on modifying existing processes rather than upending them results in a smooth adoption. Instead of using time-boxed units of work, Kanban focuses on continuous workflow, allowing teams to incrementally improve and streamline product delivery. Explore how to move from Scrum to Kanban with new, practical techniques that can help your team quickly get better. Discover the use of cumulative flow diagrams, WIP (work-in-progress) limits, and classes of services. In a hands-on classroom exercise, you'll help create a value stream map, determine process efficiency, and experience techniques from the Kanban toolset.
Although many of us want to use only agile practices, we often work alongside teams with strong waterfall traditions. If you've had trouble finding ways for your agile ideas to co-exist peacefully with traditional lifecycles, this session is for you. Jared Richardson describes key integration points between waterfall and agile teams, and demonstrates the best ways to work together-or to perform clean hand-offs, if necessary. He shows how to use adaptive planning while still providing accurate progress status to traditional PMO counterparts. Jared reviews popular agile practices and discusses how they best function in a hybrid environment. Together, you and Jared will build a common vocabulary, examine two project models-one traditional and one agile, and then combine them in a hybrid that keeps the best of both worlds.

Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk hailed as celebration of friendship, understanding
MINSK, 11 July (BelTA) – The Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk festival has become a celebration of friendship and understanding, Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at the opening ceremony of the 28th edition of the International Festival of Arts Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk on 11 July, BelTA has learned.
"At this gala concert I would like to warmly welcome all those who have come to the International Festival of Arts Slavianski Bazaar, everyone thanks to whom the city and the entire Belarus literally live by art, music of the festival, speaks different languages. We welcome all who have come to us to share this beautiful holiday - a true celebration of art, friendship and understanding," Aleksandr Lukashenko said.
The head of state noted that it was how the festival was conceived in the early 1990s. It was a response of the artistic community to the collapse of the great multi-ethnic country. "They teamed up to save the brotherly relations between the newly independent states. It is logical: in difficult times people always turn to art for moral support," the president stressed.
According to him, it was was not by accident that Vitebsk was chosen to be the cultural capital of the Slavic countries: this city has a special creative vibe. "It was home to great avant-garde artists: Malevich and Chagall. They gave the world the black square and the young lovers soaring over the city," Aleksandr Lukashenko noted.
He noted that the creative atmosphere reigning in Vitebsk for half a century inspires vibrant diverse festivals. Many of them already gather most talented musicians, choreographers, designers and artists from different countries. "We helped to preserve the status of Vitebsk, a city with rich cultural traditions, by having supported Slavianski Bazaar at the state level. In due time we simply saved Slavianski Bazaar after the collapse of the Soviet Union. And we did right. Every year we host friends from all corners of the globe. The Slavic world, which probably many in the west did not take seriously once, has become the nucleus, the center of attraction for many peoples. Today Vitebsk hosts representatives of China, Cuba, India, Israel, the United States of America. We welcome them. Traditionally in July Vitebsk is an example of the most hospitable and musical city," the head of state said.
Aleksandr Lukashenko wished participants successful festival performances, the jury fair judging, viewers the most positive emotions and good mood and everybody good weather.

New Social Nets Target Sports Fans
by Erik Sass , Staff Writer @eriksass1, August 27, 2014
Spectator sports and social media are a natural pairing, and over the last year quite a few new social networks for sports fans have launched, built around the idea of giving fans more access to their favorite players. Following is a quick round up of some of the new platforms.
First up is BreatheSport, a new mobile platform in the U.K. founded by Barry Houlihan, the founder of Mobile Interactive Group. Currently in beta with a public rollout scheduled for later this year, BreatheSport has several different sections, including a more broadcast style area called the "lockerroom," where players and pundits can post their responses to breaking news and live events, and a more social area, the "fan zone," where fans and players can engage. Fans can gain more access to their favorite stars by earning rewards on BreatheSport. So far the platform has attracted $1.5 million in investments.
Another newish sports-focused social network, Fancred, recently announced that it has raised another $3 million, bringing its total funding so far to $4.5 million. Currently available as an iOS app with an Android app on the way, Fancred allows fans to share memorable moments from sporting events via pictures, gifs, and text. Fans can also follow their team's feeds, check into venues, plan social TV watching, and post articles for their own followers to read. Along the way they build up their Fancred rating based on their activity on the platform, with various incentives to earn a higher rating and get more engaged.
Then there's Sportlobster, another online social platform and app with several different components. There's a "Fanzones" section with news functions, which aims to keep fans up to date with scores and blogs from teams, players, and pundits. Users can also write blogs and compete for top spots on the Sportlobster leaderboard by making predictions about matches, sometimes with the chance to win prizes as well.
Back in April I wrote about Locker, a Pinterest-style social network where professional and amateur athletes can share the exact details of their gear so other users can outfit themselves in similar fashion. Ultimately Locker aims to facilitate e-commerce by including links to products posted on the network, and will monetize the network by collecting commissions on these sales.
Of course there is also plenty of sports fandom going down on established social networks like Facebook and Twitter. Earlier this week I wrote about a partnership between USA Today and Degree deodorant and antiperspirant, which are joining forces to create a new College Football Fan Index, combining social media activity and online voting to determine which football teams have the most committed followings.

This beautiful Hampshire wedding was a real pleasure to photograph. With Emma and Tim being a wonderful fun couple to be around!
With the weather at the start of the day beginning with torrential rain there was a complete turn around at exactly the time Emma was due to leave the house, so by 1pm it turned into blue skies and sunshine. It really was going to be a stunning english country wedding – and for once the weather was doing the right thing at the right time! Perfect!
The bridal preparations and reception took place at Emmas Grannys house, a fantastic home in the wonderful Hampshire countryside called Templemans Old Farm House and it truly was the most amazing setting to photograph a wedding.
In the morning Emma was surrounded by her five bridesmaids and her parents. Everything was pretty busy with the last minute preparations for the marquee, as well hair and makeup and of course a few glasses of champagne in the offing too!
For this wedding I had the help of a very talented second shooter Laurie Lapworth, so as I photographed the Bride and the girls, Laurie was over at the church working with Tim and the ushers. The lovely church of Lover was the location for the ceremony and as Emma and Tim said their vows in front of all their family and friends, it was all quite emotional. They were then whisked away in a gorgeous vintage Rolls Royce.
Guests were welcomed to the reception by the fabulous sounds of the Acoustic Jazz Band and as I photographed the family groups Laurie captured some really lovely natural photographs of all the wedding guests having drinks and canapés.
I don't often come to Hampshire to photograph weddings, but I have to say this part of the country is just stunning and this beautiful old house was really the most wonderful backdrop for a wedding reception. After some hilarious speeches the couple took to the stage for their first dance and I ended my day of photography with the wedding party throwing some shapes on the dance floor!

Trump Again Slams Jeff Sessions: 'I Don't Have An Attorney General'
By Arnie Seipel,
Arnie Seipel
Published September 19, 2018 at 7:23 AM PDT
Attorney General Jeff Sessions at an event discussing immigration policies on Sept. 10. President Trump said on Tuesday that he's disappointed in the attorney general's job performance for a number of reasons, beyond his recusal from the Russia investigation.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions' future was cast further into doubt on Wednesday after President Trump made clear how broad his displeasure is with the man he tapped to lead the Department of Justice.
"I don't have an attorney general," Trump told Hill.TV in an interview on Tuesday.
Trump's frustration with Sessions isn't only over his decision to recuse himself from the Russia investigation, Trump said, but over many other aspects of his performance.
The attorney general has said he won't bow to political pressure and that he recused himself citing Department of Justice regulations that he says are pertinent because he was involved in the Trump campaign.
The Justice Department declined to comment to NPR on Wednesday.
Trump remains angry with Sessions about the Russia investigation, but the president made clear he is frustrated with much more than that.
"I'm not happy at the border, I'm not happy with numerous things, not just this," he said.
Trump suggested that his personal loyalty to Sessions clouded his judgment in choosing him as attorney general because he was the first senator to endorse Trump during the campaign.
Senate Republicans have in the past warned Trump against firing Sessions, but that mood has shifted among some key White House allies on Capitol Hill.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee that reviews attorney general nominations, had said last year there was "no way" to confirm someone new.
But recently he told Bloomberg, "I do have time for hearings on nominees that the president might send up here that I didn't have last year."
Trump suggested recently that he wouldn't fire Sessions before the November midterm elections.
The president has long asserted that Sessions should have told him before being nominated that he would recuse himself from the Russia probe, which is consequently overseen by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, a Republican whom Trump also nominated to his post.
Rosenstein, in turn, appointed special counsel Robert Mueller to lead the investigation shortly after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey.
That appointment and the larger investigation continue to anger Trump, which he called a "hoax" in the interview with Hill.TV. In the president's view, the story is about the need to root out "bias" and corruption within federal law enforcement.
"I hope to be able put this up as one of my crowning achievements that I was able to ... expose something that is truly a cancer in our country," Trump said.
Just last week, former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort became the latest associate of the president to plead guilty, though on charges unrelated to the campaign.
A number of the president's other associates also have pleaded guilty to federal charges, including his longtime attorney Michael Cohen, deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates and former national security adviser Mike Flynn.

The Contribution of Snowy Hydro Scheme in building a Multi Ethnic Australia
Australia, malcolm turnbull
The expansion of the Snowy Hydro Scheme has been announced by the Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull that would commence within 14 days. It is almost 40 years that the expansion plan for the project has been announced that enabled thousands of immigrants all across the globe to travel to Australia for completing the project that built a vast network of dams.
This project was the largest scheme of Australia for public works and most of the workers involved in the project were immigrants who arrived in Australia after the Second World War.
Immigrants from more than 30 nations and in numbers more than 100, 000 people arrived in Australia's southeastern mountains in New South Wales to work on the Snowy Hydro Scheme in the period 1949 – 1979 and approximately there were 7,000 on-site workers at any given point of time, as quoted by the SBS.
The workers born in Australia included those who were Yugoslav, Italian, Irish, Greek and German immigrants. The immigrant from Germany Arthur Baumhammer said that at that time highly skilled overseas immigrants were in much demand. Most of the generators for electricity for the project were from former U-boats in Germany that had never sailed on the sea, added Baumhammer.
However, the Australian workers neither could read the manuals for instruction nor knew how to operate them. Thus there was a huge demand for mechanics from Germany, elaborated Baumhammer.
The new immigrant communities that were formed in the course of completion of this project served as the foundation for building the future multicultural Australia. Post-war immigrants from Europe were unexpectedly united by this Snowy Hydro project.

We are now less than a year away until the 2020 Census Day. And there is even less time for some communities in Indian Country. The first official count will take place in Tooksook Bay, Alaska, in January.
So the bureau is busy hiring people now within their own communities, said Tim Olson, associate director for field operations of the U.S. Census Bureau, at a Census Bureau press briefing in Washington, D.C. Employees will be paid $13.50 to $30 per hour depending on the location.
This is critical for tribal communities because Native American and Alaskan Native communities have been historically undercounted. So hiring people from the actual communities they are familiar with could help produce a more accurate count.
Every 10 years the Census Bureau counts every person in the United States. At least that's the plan, a Constitutional requirement. But for Indian Country it's often a question of how large the undercount will be.
This will be the 24th census over a span of 220 years, that includes 45 presidents, 58 presidential elections, and 116 Congresses, according to University of Wisconsin Professor Margo Anderson. Even the Civil War didn't stop the count from happening.
In fact, the decennial census is required by the U.S. Constitution in Article 1, section 2. Those who wrote the Constitution wanted to give the people power in their government. They wanted the number of representatives in Congress to reflect the country's population.
It was also a way for the lawmakers, back then, to promote expansion, when settlers started encroaching on tribal lands.
The data is used to determine the boundaries for congressional districts. And the boundaries for state legislative districts. Those count is used to draw lines that then determine the power of a vote -- or an undermining of that vote.
One example: Republicans in Texas, Arizona, Missouri and Nebraska want to use the next census data for redistricting with "citizens-only" districts, according to a recent report by Reuters.
Current federal law prohibits a separation of the population into a "citizens-only district" for the U.S. House. Those seats must reflect the total population. However, state legislative redistricting might be determined using other data.
Cases of gerrymandering come up around every decennial census.
Another use of the data is drawing a school district boundary.
The numbers from the census also influence how programs are funded.
Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan, White Earth, explained this in a tweet last week.
"Census data is how public officials make decisions about how money is spent, which communities are invested in, and really how we plan for the future," she said.
To put it in short, this data determines how $675 billion of federal funding is distributed, which communities needs attention and resources from the government and private sectors, and everything in between for schools, housing, Indian Health Service, and business investments.
These resources affects communities who have historically been undercounted, such as Native American and Alaskan Native communities, are at risk for receiving little resources if the census is inaccurate. They are part of the "hard-to-count" population along with other groups who have been underrepresented in the census in the past, such as children ages 0 to 5.
Chickasaw Nation Governor Bill Anoatubby, who spoke at the census press briefing, said tribes need to reach out to and encourage their tribal citizens to participate in the 2020 Census.
"According to the 2010 Census, roughly 26 percent of Native Americans live hard-to-count census tracts," he said during a Census Bureau press briefing at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
American Indians and Alaska Native populations were undercounted at 4.9 percent in the 2010 Census due to "logistical obstacles," said Gov. Anoatubby. That's more than double next to the closest population group.
Look at the census data from 1990. There was a 12.2 percent undercount of American Indians on the reservations, an undercount of 0.7 percent in 2000, and a 4.9 percent in 2010.
The numbers fluctuated for American Indians and Alaskan Natives living off the reservations during the three censuses. In 1990, there was an overcount of 0.9 percent, an undercount of 0.6 percent in 2000, and a 2 percent undercount in 2010.
However, Anoatubby believes that the Census Bureau establishing three methods to participating in the census will help give Indian Country a more accurate count. Everyone can respond to the census in one of three ways: mail, phone, or online.
Considering the history of how Native people were counted in the last 220 years, this is a huge step up.
Technically, Native people weren't supposed to be included in the census count per the Constitution when it stated "Indians not taxed." This meant Indians living on reservations or in unsettled areas of the country.
So even though the census started in 1790, the first census record of a Native person was in 1860, according to the National Archives.
Even then the census was unreliable. Not all Pueblos were included. If they were, they were were recorded as non-White. Taos Pueblos were enumerated as "copper" and "Indian." Those census takers were the ones to determine your race unlike now where the bureau allows people to self-identify.
This is where the changes come in.
Again, technology improves the process of a self-response census, which the bureau says, will give a more accurate count.
For one, the bureau is taking the approach that they are trying to reach the hard-to-count populations first.
The bureau worked with more tribal organizations at a national, regional and local level, including tribal governments. Organizations include the National Congress of American Indians and the Alaska Federation of Natives.
A Census Bureau official at the Washington press briefing said they consulted with tribal governments 19 times in the past two years. Tribal leaders told the bureau the best ways they could reach out to their tribal citizens for self-responses.
Another improvement is the expansion of tribal names to the questionnaire. English and traditional names of tribes will be taken. For example, Hopi used to be part of the "Pueblo" tribal grouping and now it's separate.

Eagles follow through on promise for vanguard sports
Eagles follow through on promise for vanguard sports , give Nick Foles $1 million bonus before he leaves .
Nick Foles might be leaving the Philadelphia Eagles, but the team is still going to send him off on a high note. The Eagles followed through on a promise to give Foles a $1 million bonus after he came up just short of an incentive, according to ESPN's Field Yates.
Foles was due a $1 million incentive if the Eagles made the playoffs and he played 33 percent of the team's snaps. With Carson Wentz going down with a back injury late in the season, Foles had a shot to hit that mark. He came exceptionally close, coming up just four snaps short of the 33 percent mark after the team's Week 17 game.
The Eagles decided that was close enough. It didn't take long for the Eagles to come to that conclusion, either. Shortly after the game, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Eagles were going to make sure Foles received that bonus.
While it was a nice gesture by the Eagles, it was also one the team didn't have to make. The 29-year-old Foles is going to be a free agent, and is expected to leave the team during the offseason.
There was no risk of Foles returning to the team upset because he didn't receive his bonus. The Eagles simply gave Foles a parting gift as a show of their appreciation for everything he did with the franchise.
No matter where Foles winds up, he'll always have his place with the Eagles. Foles shocked the world by stepping in for Wentz last season and leading the Eagles to an upset over the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.

Miley Cyrus, Tom Hanks + More Stars Crash Steve Martin's 'Saturday Night Live' 40th Anniversary Special Monologue [VIDEO]
Ali Szubiak
Considering the insane amount of comedians, actors, musicians and even athletes to pass through those double doors at 30 Rock and straight into the SNL stratosphere only to wind up immortalized in a skit, monologue or musical performance forever, it seems almost impossible to pinpoint one person who was the most appropriate to host the special.
The first monologue for the SNL 40th Anniversary Special highlighted this in the greatest way possible. Out came Steve Martin, addressing the fact that countless legendary comedians have passed through SNL to host, and are pretty much the foundation and reason for its success. Then Tom Hanks pops in to remind him of all the great actors that hosted the show, you know, like himself. There was some great banter between the two, because of course, and then Alec Baldwin chimed in.
Shortly after that, the entire thing turned into the perfect example of the different types of hosts that passed through over the years. From Melissa McCarthy and Chris Rock to Peyton Manning and Miley Cyrus (who made the point that she's been both the host and the musical guest. Get that money, girl), to Billy Crystal and Paul McCartney and Paul Simon, it was a fantastic display that shows exactly why SNL has been around for 40 years.
The skit then went straight into a montage demonstrating the immense amount of talent -- from comedians to actors to musicians -- that's been on the show over the years, and we have never felt more nostalgic.

Le courant de pensée silhak (en ) (ou sirhak) est un mouvement de réforme confucianiste en Corée, particulièrement actif au .

Histoire du mouvement
Les prémices apparaissent au , au cours de la période de reconstruction du pays après les guerres, et sous la dynastie Joseon. Silhak pourrait se traduire par « études pratiques ». Les précurseurs du sirhak furent des encyclopédistes, comme Heo Jun (1539-1615) qui a compilé toute la science médicinale de son temps. Yi Ik (1681-1763), autre précurseur, créa une sorte de contre-collège mandarinal en se spécialisant dans les études politiques et sociales les plus variées. Ce mouvement s'oppose à la tradition néoconfucianiste, qui en était arrivée , pour les lettrés de l'administration, à se perdre en discussions métaphysiques, en « querelles byzantines », lesquelles dissimulaient maladroitement leur appétit de pouvoir. Le pays connait surtout au , un essor important, précisément en grande partie grâce à l'engagement de certains lettrés dans ce mouvement silhak.

Dans cet esprit, se développe une littérature populaire fondée sur l'usage du hangul, l'alphabet du roi Sejong. En effet le pouvoir, au , encourage les paysans à apprendre pour moderniser les pratiques agricoles. Le roi Jeongjo (1752-1800) fut un adepte du mouvement. Il encouragea la modernisation de l'agriculture, décida l'affranchissement des esclaves publics afin de favoriser leur accès à la terre et d'en accroître les rendements. Par ailleurs, il rattacha les « études pratiques » de ces lettrés à une nouvelle institution : la bibliothèque royale. Cette institution avait pour objectif de proposer des réformes et de constituer une nouvelle élite de fonctionnaires au service du roi et de sa politique. Le roi appela dans cette institution l'historien  qui souligna le rôle joué, à l'époque du royaume de Balhae, par la Corée dans l'histoire du peuple mandchou, lequel dirigeait alors la Chine des Qing. Le roi s'entoura aussi, dans ce mouvement, de Jeong Yak-yong (1762-1863), dont les nombreuses fonctions administratives et participations diverses à l'esprit de réforme (entre autres : promoteur de la vaccination) le conduisit à publier une œuvre particulièrement riche et complexe. Cet esprit réformateur eu un impact certain sur les innovations dans le domaine artistique en Corée au , en particulier la peinture.

Les ambitions du roi Sejong ne s'arrêtèrent pas aux réformes, il engagea des travaux monumentaux qui ruinèrent le pays. Finalement ses réformes peuvent être critiquées, plutôt rêves d'un retour aux sources néoconfucianistes, avec des lettrés dévoués, qu'une réelle vision qui aurait permis au pays de s'adapter aux bouleversements sociaux en cours. Les lettrés de la Bibliothèque royale paraissent, de leur côté, plus des utopistes que de véritables réformateurs. À la mort du roi, les yangban corrompus et les clans les plus puissants qu'il avait écarté reprirent le pouvoir. Ils détournèrent les biens de l'État à leur profit et la corruption se généralisa à nouveau entrainant la Corée dans une spirale descendante, et ce phénomène fut amplifié avec la convergence de plusieurs facteurs : la croissance démographique, de mauvaises récoltes dues à des sécheresses exceptionnelles (1803 et 1815), et la pire épidémie de choléra de l'histoire de la Corée (1822).

Marikina parish to help out-of-school youth get jobs
MANILA, Feb. 1, 2017 – The Immaculate Concepcion parish in Marikina will launch a program to help out-of-school youth land jobs, said Fr. Dari Dioquino, assistant parish priest.
The program will try to assist some 5, 000 out-of-school youth under the parish find employment, he said.
According to the priest, many kinds of job await the applicants.
The parish has partnered with a cooperative engaged in job placement to facilitate the process. Employers have since expressed support for the project.
The program, which seeks to ease poverty among depressed communities under the parish, and keep them drug-free, is run by the parish Social Service Ministry and other volunteers.
The said social project is not the only one initiated by the parish to address the needs of society's marginalized sectors.
The parish's feeding program, which was launched to help Marikina's poor families provide their children with good nutrition, marked its first year last January, Dioquino said.
Hundreds of children from across Marikina have benefited from the feeding program.
Dioquino, who served as priest-in-charge of Kanlungan ni Maria – Home for the Aged in Antipolo, also sourced school supplies from generous individuals for less fortunate school children in Barcelona, Sorsogon last year. (Oliver Samson / CBCPNews)

Piroplasmen (Piroplasmorida, Syn. Piroplasmida, von lat. pirum 'Birne') sind eine Ordnung einzelliger Parasiten der roten Blutkörperchen und weißen Blutkörperchen bei Säugetieren und Vögeln, die von Zecken übertragen werden. Sie gehören zur Klasse der Aconoidasida.

Die sexuelle Vermehrung (Gamogonie) der Piroplasmen findet im Magen der Zecke (vor allem Schildzecken, eine Art auch in Lederzecken) statt. Auch die Sporogonie erfolgt in der Zecke, die Sporozoiten entstehen in deren Speicheldrüsen. Die Übertragung auf Wirbeltiere erfolgt durch Zeckenstich. Im Blut der Säugetiere und Vögel treten Meronten, Merozoiten und Gamonten auf. Die Parasiten kommen direkt im Cytoplasma der Wirtszelle vor (ohne parasitische Vakuole) und verursachen bei der asexuellen Vermehrung einen Zerfall der Blutkörperchen. Die durch Piroplasmen verursachten Erkrankungen werden als Piroplasmosen bezeichnet.

In der klassischen Systematik werden die Piroplasmen in zwei Familien untergliedert: Babesiidae und Theileridae. Jüngere molekulargenetische Untersuchungen schlagen eine Untergliederung in acht Gruppen vor.

Looking to make a fairly easy trek up to 13,000′? Look no further than Wheeler Peak in the Great Basin National Park. This awesome 13, 064′ peak is the tallest in Nevada, and would be the second highest in Utah were it to shift 20 miles or so to the East. The Great Basin receives much less hype than it deserves, likely because of it's proximity to…well…nothing.
The Great Basin is not near much of anything and rests just West of the Nevada/Utah border near the Nevada town of Baker and the Utah town of Garrison. There are a system of caves in the park, most notably the Lehman Caves next to the Great Basin Visitor Center. You can buy tickets for tours here: Lehman Cave Tour Reservations.
Every year now for the past 3 years we have made the drive (about 3 hours from St. George, UT) to the Great Basin. Some of our favorite activities are collecting pine nuts and hiking the various trails. This past June was the first time I had attempted to hike the peak.
For the past couple of years we have camped by ourselves. This last year we brought a group of friends. Finding camping spots can be a little difficult because this is a National Park that is not made for day trips, and the camp spots are generally available on a first come first serve basis. The park often hosts stargazing events because the skies in this area are some of the darkest in the Nation. Camp spots can be severely limited at those times of the year when they have these events. This park is close to nothing, so planning a visit usually means camping for a night or two.
During this last trip, there were no camping spots available up the main canyon, so we took the dirt road to the South and camped in site #7 of the Baker Creek Campground. This was still a nice area, with some good hiking and a creek close by.
After arriving Thursday afternoon, we set up camp and Brett and I planned to head up to Wheeler peak first thing in the morning. The goal was to leave by 5 am and have the light barely coming on when we began the hike, however I forgot to calculate the time change in when we crossed the Nevada state line, and we started an hour later than anticipated.
The drive from our camp was 3 miles back down the dirt road, and then 11.5 miles up the Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive. The trail head to summit Wheeler Peak is in on the right hand side of the road not long before you get to Wheeler Peak campground which is the end of the road. You start out at just over 10,000′ elevation, so realistically there are only 3000′ to climb. The hike is 8.6 miles round trip from this point. In late June a jacket was warranted to begin the hike.
For this hike I decided to take a lighter camera bag, the newest version of this is the Lowepro Photo Sport 200 AW II. It has room for a full sized camera body with a lens attached and room for one more lens. A light tripod fits nicely on the side and it has a spot for a hydration bladder and room for cargo on top. I left the tripod back at camp for this one, as we planned to do some running.
The hike begins with both gradual ascents and descents, winding through pines, aspen and meadows with Wheeler Peak clearly visible to the Southwest. We started of jogging a little bit, but pretty quickly the difference in oxygen was apparent and we slowed to a brisk walk.
The early morning light really puts some color on the peaks.
Through this part of the hike and over toward the other lakes, you are likely to run across wild turkeys and deer. Brett thought he'd get some closer shots of some bucks we saw in the early morning.
After about a mile or so you come across the short trail to Stella Lake. This is a nice little alpine lake at the base of Wheeler Peak. Here the trail splits and you can take the trail left to the other lakes or head right up to the summit of Wheeler Peak.
At this point the trail starts to make a steeper ascent. You essentially climb to the top of that ridge you see on the right hand side of Stella Lake. At the top it levels off to more of a gradual ascent for just a bit before it turns into a climb up the trail through rock and scree.
For us, no breaks. We kept going all the way to the top on a steady climb. We crossed a field or two of snow/ice that had not melted yet, but for the most part the trail is clear to the top. Once on top you can see a really long way! The valley floor seems a long way down, probably because it is.
After soaking in the sun on the top, we headed back down on a jog that turned into a run as soon as we could safely make it such (you can see Brett running down from the peak here). We kept the run nearly all the way back, with exception of one more stop at Stella Lake on the way down. We made it back down the mountain in just a few minutes over an hour. The entire trek took us a total of 3 hours to complete. We hadn't seen a soul on the way up, but on the descent we passed several groups and individuals resting on their ascent.
Here is another view of Stella Lake, as seen on the descent from the peak.
The Great Basin is a place I highly recommend visiting. And if you are going to go, you might as well bag a 13,000′ peak while you are there. Here are a couple of other views of Wheeler Peak taken at different times of the year.

Today, H&M has really whet our appetites for the upcoming Erdem collaboration – launching next week, on Thursday 2nd November – with a captivating short film, directed by visionary filmmaker Baz Luhrmann. Set in a mysterious English country manor, where it's forever spring, the film, The Secret Life of Flowers, debuts an exclusive new track by Years & Years, called "Hypnotised". It's the perfect soundtrack to the epic unveiling of the spellbinding collection.
Transporting us into the centre of a vibrant, dynamic, flower-filled world in just four minutes, the short film has all of the passion, drama and vivacity that has made Luhrmann (the genius behind Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge and The Get Down) one of the world's most lauded filmmakers. "I wanted the film to be like a whole movie. It's a very modern love story, set in a country house that is full of its own secrets and it's like a metaphor for our times – it's harsh out there in the world, but in here, the things that really matter keep growing in an eternal spring," the director explains.

Shot at The Grange, a 19th-century country house-mansion and English landscape park near Northington in Hampshire, the breathtaking stately home is strewn with flowers, influenced by designer Erdem Moralioglu's signature floral prints. When a couple of young friends come to stay, a magnetic love triangle develops between the three main characters, played by upcoming British actors Tom Rhys Harries, Hero Fiennes Tiffin and Ruby Dagnall. They are joined onscreen by acclaimed actress Dame Harriet Walter, as well as models Saskia de Brauw, Imaan Hammam, Grace Hartzel, Fernando Cabral, Neels Visser and Tony Ward. Throughout, Luhrmann uses pieces from the H&M x Erdem collection to define the characters and propel the narrative, while the new track by Years & Years captures the mood of positivity, friendship and love.

Refugees and migrants have become one of the greatest hot-button topics in Western governments.
While in the United States, Donald Trump intends to build a wall with Mexico, in Europe the tension is growing on the borders of Italy, Germany and Austria. The new Italian government does not allow NGO ships to dock in their ports, accusing them of cooperating with the traffickers, who profit from the refugees.
"Take a detour. The Italian ports do not even see you. Take a detour."
This situation put added importance on Pope Francis' Mass in Rome, which especially remembered the refugees and migrants who died at sea.
During his homily the pope made an unusual gesture of recognition. He spoke in Spanish to refugees and to the group of Spanish rescuers who have been working for years in the Mediterranean in rescue tasks.
"I want to express my gratitude for currently embodying the parable of the Good Samaritan, who stopped to save the life of the poor man beaten by bandits. He didn't ask him his origin, his reasons for travel or his documents. He simply decided to take charge and save his life."
One of the listeners was Óscar Camps, founder of Proactiva Open Arms. The NGO of lifeguards started saving refugees traveling from Turkey to Greece. Now they work off the coast of Libya.
"Today the pope said that we have to get the courage of truth and respect for each human life that grows in each one of us. FLASH I do not think the problem of this migration crisis is three NGOs that try to save lives in international waters."
For many, Europe is the path to a new life, full of opportunities. For many others, it is the Promised Land in which they will never set foot. So far in 2018, more than 1,000 have drowned in the sea. There have already been more than 10,000 deaths in the Mediterranean since 2015.

Research Reveals Hidden Cost of Innovation and its Impact on the Customer Experience
xMatters 'Incident Management in the Age of Customer-Centricity' report finds enterprises challenged with balance between driving innovation and maintaining uptime
SAN RAMON, CA — November 18, 2019 — xMatters (www.xmatters.com), a digital service availability platform that prevents IT issues from becoming business problems, today announced findings from its inaugural Incident Management in the Age of Customer-Centricity research, which highlighted challenges technology organizations face as a result of the rise in delivering new digital services and the need for an intelligent, automated approach to addressing incidents. The research also found a gap between an organization's ability to innovate and maintain uptime: more than half of organizations have experienced a dramatic increase in the pace of innovation, impacting their ability to deliver uninterrupted customer experiences. The report findings are based on the results of a survey that examined the opinions of over 300 DevOps, ITOps and business leaders from organizations of varying sizes delivering digital services, including midsize and enterprise-level businesses.
"The success of any business depends on the quality of their customers' experiences. Just a short interruption in service could not only greatly impact the customer experience, but also a company's bottom line," said xMatters CEO Troy McAlpin. "However, at the same time, digital services organizations are delivering software releases significantly faster than just a few years ago. This presents a growing challenge for technology organizations as teams work to balance the rapid resolution of incidents with the demand for faster innovation."
As customer experience has become a crucial measure of business success, nearly everyone across an enterprise IT organization shares responsibility for delivering exceptional customer experiences. The vast majority of respondents (91.7%) reported that delivering a superior customer experience is a priority in their role. The shift in responsibility for the delivery of uninterrupted customer experiences means that developers, who ideally should be focused on delivering innovation, now share in the burden.
Accelerated Pace of Innovation Impacts the Customer Experience
Digital services organizations are delivering more software releases at a significantly faster rate than a few years ago, with more than half of respondents (54%) who reported that they introduce at least one new software release each week. Nearly half of other respondents (40%) reported that a new release is rolled out monthly or every few months. For companies issuing software releases at this pace, findings show that their ability to innovate is hindered by the rise in customer impacting issues.
The number of software releases within these organizations has increased dramatically over the past three years with 77% of respondents stating that the amount of releases increased by at least 25%.
Nearly 3 in 4 respondents (74.4%) say that their ability to build out services is sometimes or always affected by customer-impacting issues.
More than half (57%) of organizations are still experiencing regular degradations—on a weekly and daily basis—in their digital experiences.
The Toil of Managing Incidents and a New Era of Operational Challenges
Most organizations believe they are fully equipped to support digital service offerings effectively, but still face operational challenges. Nearly half (44.8%) of development team leads indicate their developers spend more than 50% of their time manually addressing incidents (i.e., any negative impact to the customer digital experience ranging from core service outages to degradations in performance due to servers, databases, load balancing or configuration issues). Additionally, as a result of the rise in new digital services, roles have shifted.
Top challenges technology organizations face as a result of the rise in new digital services include increased difficulty in capacity planning (e.g., predict growth, needs of business, migration to the cloud, etc.) reported by 57.4% of respondents, increased complexity resulting in more cognitive load reported by 48.4% of respondents and increased number of tools, reported by 37.5% of respondents.
The top ways roles have shifted include the need to learn new technologies, reported by 63.1% respondents; gain a better understanding of incident management and issue resolution best practices, reported by 51.9% of respondents; as well as the need to manage more data, reported by 49.7% of respondents.
Modern Approach to Incident Management Is Critical for Delivering Uninterrupted Customer Experiences
Findings indicate that modernization of incident management practices (including IT tools and services) will aid in resolving issues at a faster pace while simultaneously equipping employees across the enterprise with information and resources they need in order to support digital transformation and deliver uninterrupted customer experiences. The majority of DevOps/SRE (83.9%), IT Operations (72.9%) and Developers (64.9%) surveyed believe emerging technologies such as AI and ML will help them do their jobs better.
"The gap between a company's ability to maintain uptime and innovate has never been more apparent," said McAlpin. "New advancements in incident management will enable companies to expand its reach via workflow automation while equipping employees across the enterprise with the critical insights for delivering uninterrupted customer experiences."

Q: Permission denied/ffmpeg error with Speech Recognition library I'm trying to use the speech recognition library to set up a voice assistant, but I keep receiving a permission denied error. I suppose that the error is that the file isn't saved at any location where Python can access it, but I'm not entirely sure how to change the directory where the file is stored using this library.
Code:
import speech_recognition as sr

r = sr.Recognizer()

with sr.Microphone() as source:
            print("Say something!")
            try:
                audio = r.listen(source, timeout=5)
            except sr.WaitTimeoutError:
                print("You didn't say anything")

            print("Did you say " + r.recognize_whisper(audio))

Traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\s\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\whisper\audio.py", line 42, in load_audio
    ffmpeg.input(file, threads=0)
  File "C:\Users\s\AppData\Local\Packages\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_qbz5n2kfra8p0\LocalCache\local-packages\Python310\site-packages\ffmpeg\_run.py", line 325, in run
    raise Error('ffmpeg', out, err)
ffmpeg._run.Error: ffmpeg error (see stderr output for detail)

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Users\s\projects\FinalProject\debugging.py", line 12, in <module>
    print("Did you say " + r.recognize_whisper(audio))
  libswresample   4.  9.100 /  4.  9.100  libpostproc    56.  7.100 / 56.  7.100
C:\Users\s\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpt5niak28.wav: Permission denied

I've used this library before successfully, so not sure what the issue is. Any suggestions?

A: I can tell from the error being thrown that you are using Windows. I have some clarifying questions (which I can't present well in the comments):

*

*Which version of Windows are you using?

*Do you have a virtual environment set up for Python?

*How did you install PyAudio? PyAudio is a dependency for the speech_recognition package - it used PyAudio under the hood. For example, here is the source code for the speech recognition package using PyAudio. You may have installed PyAudio using something like python -m pip install pyaudio but I would like to confirm.

What I think is happening here matches your own assumptions:

*

*The speech_recognition module, when r.listen is called, creates a binary stream, as shown on this line of the speech_recognition source code.

*This method does not seem to provide an interface at all to change where the stream is stored, so I think it is saving it to some sort of default location, which for Windows, appears to be Temp - I don't know a lot about Python on Windows, so this is an assumption.
To think of ways to resolve the problem:

*

*I would try to create a Virtual Environment, which may change the default location in which the microphone stream, and resulting WAV file, is stored. A venv's job is to isolate the execution of Python code from the wider system, so I would expect it not to store in Temp if it were in a Virtual Environment.

The illusion. Look, he's got a great policy on smoking dope. Big deal. Look back to Bill Buckley, Milton Friedman and George Schultz — arch-conservative paleocons — and they were for the legalization of all drugs before Rand could make a fist. He's articulate, seemingly more in touch with reality than Ted Cruz, bt the again so is my Aunt Phoebe, so what!
Listen up, Spicoli, it's about more than dope. Review and research carefully to what he's said and not said. Yes, above and beyond his weed policy.
He's waxed neocon with his aggressive stance towards Putin anent Ukraine. Remember these beauts? In a National Review piece entitled "Rand Paul's Plan for Ukraine: Bizarre and Delusional" Paul the dauphin said the following. "I would reinstitute the missile-defense shields President Obama abandoned in 2009 in Poland and the Czech Republic." He groused, "The real problem is that Russia's President is not currently fearful or threatened in any way by America's President, despite his country's blatant aggression." What?! Or this: In an TIME op-ed, Paul wrote: "Putin must be punished for violating the Budapest Memorandum, and Russia must learn that the U.S. will isolate it if it insists on acting like a rogue nation." [GULP!] Might I direct you to our friends at UFAA and TWSP for a cogent review of the good Senator's views. I encourage you to search far and wide for everything on everything.
He's flip-flopped on drone use to dispatch Americans on American soil. "If someone comes out of a liquor store with a weapon and fifty dollars in cash. I don't care if a drone kills him or a policeman kills him," he said. Paul also stated in the same interview that "I've never argued against any technology being used when you have an imminent threat, an active crime going on." Apparently, an "imminent threat" is constituted by a liquor store robbery, setting the due process and Constitutional bar for an emergency situation rather low. Wow.
His austerity measures à la Mont Pelerin Society would make Draco blush. It's simply cruel and without merit. As has been said, we're better than that. We're the American School of Economics. Not Austrian. Verstehen? It's factual and historical and essential to the continued and sustained existence of our republic. Look it up, Sparky.
His message is devoid of reference to infrastructure and critical government programs and expenditures. Look, it's part of the mantra, I dig. The shibboleth and bumpsticker ideology that serves him well. As my great friend, Webster Tarpley has endorsed, where's his message on measures to re-industrialize, build infrastructure, develop science drivers, create jobs, and restore a high-wage economy? But to be fair, no one's talking about that. Save Dr. T. And speaking of friends, my great pal Alex Jones heartily endorses Rand and I can understand that. He is certainly not without any moment of cognizable sapience, but when stepping back from the mosaic, take a good look as I have. The big picture is what I'm interested in.
What's a girl to do? Friends, on paper RP sounds significantly better than the other spouters of vapidity. But is he truly any different? No. In terms of actual policy? Nah! And remember that our system allows not the revolutionary. Were he to ever advance past the initial stages of review he would have to pledge fealty to globalist elites and panjandrums. So what to do? Well, I simply don't vote for any of these folks. Their availability bodes ill in and of itself. I always write my name in and prefer to "throw away my vote" with a greater degree of panache. Unless and until there's a revolution we can play musical chairs with candidates all day long and nothing will materialize. Nothing will change. Excuse me, better yet — nothing will improve. Remember what a wise man once said, if voting really changed anything it would be illegal.
Betty Cook, a lab assistant at the Stanford Research Institute, is shown taking a "blink test" as part of a project to study smog in Stanford, Calif. April 27, 1949.
What does this picture have to do with anything? Nothing. But neither does the dreck you're being given that's passing for news. It's evident that you've exhibited an interest in what's actually occurring in the world by you're being here in the first place. The usual and routinized display of news bores you. You never bought it in the first place. You knew it was a con, a diversion. You are a curious and inquisitive citizen who is mature enough to understand and appreciate reality. Do you crave the truth? Absolutely. And yet through labyrinthine deception and obfuscation and confusion and distraction the major issues that impact upon your life are forgotten and overlooked altogether.
The revolution has commenced and you are already a part of it. As we speak, news and data collection platforms are changing seismically. Alternate and foreign news delivery systems are exploding exponentially. You are a part of the revolution. And critical to this explosion and revolution is the absolute fact that the left-right paradigm is but an illusion, a mystical magical bifurcated separation of nothingness. Cast off the labels, remove the name tags and dissect and parse the issues. The ruling class is counting on your nescience. The only way they can succeed is if you remain unaware. And that's not going to happen because you are a part of the revolution.
Lafayette, I've arrived! You are aware of the lies that have been foist upon you. From the food you eat, to the mystical and magical wars against mystical and magical terrorists, to they hate our freedom – you know the con but you are a part of the revolution. The rudiments, the basics, the fundamentals of our republic is the Constitution. That's not an expression or some cute shibboleth. It is the template and blueprint of the fundamental rights and protections that you as an American citizen enjoy. And every government elected heretofore and hereafter will do everything it can to destroy and decimate the very protections that it swears to uphold. This isn't exaggeration or hyperbole. This is not part of the bumper sticker, playbook, echo chamber, cookie-cutter, ossified Jurassic mainstream media. This is the naked truth; pay attention because you are part of the revolution. Amen.
