His nicknames are "Bhajji" and "The Turbanator". Former Indian wicket-keeper gave him the name "Bhajji ", as it was tough for him to utter Harbhajan from behind the stump to cheer him up.
At the age of 15, the spin magician got into the U-16 team of Punjab and grabbed 32 wickets in four matches in the all India U-16 tournament. His great performance rewarded him with a place in the North Zone team for a one-day series.

Feds plan to seize pensions from the mob cops
December 17, 2012 Dapper_Don
Accused Mafia cop Stephen Caracappa leaves Brooklyn Federal Court after he was arraigned on new charges in connection with the 1986 kidnapping and murder of a diamond dealer. Caracappa and fellow retired Detective Louis Eppolito have been charged in eight other mob slayings and of being on the Mafia payroll while working for the NYPD. The two ex-cops have been free on $5 million bail since July 21.
It's time for the Mafia Cops to pay up.
Federal prosecutors are going after the disability pensions that disgraced NYPD Detectives Louis Eppolito and Stephen Caracappa have been collecting while rotting in jail for murder, the Daily News has learned.
The bold move by the Brooklyn U.S. Attorney's Office comes more than six years after they were convicted of carrying out eight gangland hits for the Luchese crime family.
"I am surprised to see this petition all these years later," Eppolito's lawyer Joseph Bondy told The News.
Eppolito, 64, is serving life in prison plus 100 years at the federal penitentiary in Tucson, Ariz. Partner in crime Caracappa, 71, is doing life plus 80 years at the federal prison in Coleman, Fla.
Judge Jack Weinstein also slapped Eppolito with a $4.2 million fine, but the ex-cop has only paid $300 toward the judgment, according to papers in Brooklyn Federal Court.
Caracappa has paid $109,000 toward the fine but still owes $4.2 million with interest.Caracappa receives a monthly pension of $5,300 and Eppolito $3,900. The pensions are tax-free because both claimed they were disabled due to line-of-duty injuries.
Caracappa's brother Domenick asserted in court papers that his sister-in-law Monica Singleton subsists on the pension. Domenick Caracappa and Singleton could not be reached for comment.
Municipal pensions are generally exempt from garnishment under the city administrative code, except by the Internal Revenue Service or for alimony or child support payments.

Michelle Williams is getting married. The Dawson's Creek actress is engaged to Hamilton director Thomas Kail, People reported Monday, December 30.
That's not all: the pair is expecting their first child together, the same insider revealed. The couple was photographed shopping at a baby boutique in London's Kensington neighborhood.
Williams's 14-year-old daughter Matilda (whom she shares with the late Heath Ledger) reportedly was the mastermind behind the relationship. However, Kail and Williams had a professional relationship. The couple worked together on the set of Fosse/Verdon, which landed the actress an Emmy for Outstanding Lead in a Limited Series. Kail directed the biographical series.

Williams, who was previously married to musician Phil Everum, has long remained rather private about her love life. She briefly touched on the topic in an interview with Vanity Fair while she was still with Elverum. "Don't settle. Don't settle for something that feels like a prison or is hard, or hurts you," she said at the time. "If it doesn't feel like love, it's not love."
Their marriage was short-lived and ended in early 2019. Shortly after, Williams and Kail were an item. This is the second marriage for both Williams and Tony Award winner Kail, who was previously with Angela Christian.

A dreadful misrepresentation, a gaggle of braggarts, the worst take on business you could possibly create.
Yes, The Apprentice has returned to the BBC for a fourteenth season, and this time, its representation of business has turbocharged the hate and self-regard to gobsmacking levels.
"Nation shall speak peace unto nation" is the motto of the BBC, but this portrayal hardly seems at ease with an organisation that earned the nickname "Auntie" because it favoured refrain over revilement.
Many will view the popular TV show as light entertainment and pure tat.
Yet, the ghoulish reflection of business on the BBC mirrors a wider attack on the commercial world, which is often criticised as being greedy and out of touch.
Take the party conference season. Business organisations were taken aback by the assault led by the shadow chancellor.
While many might contend that companies are forces for good, the loudest cheers in the hall were reserved for the allegations that they are forces for greed.
Caught on the backfoot, many felt poorly represented. CBI chief Carolyn Fairbairn was quick to dismiss claims from the conference, assigning them to a "lack of business experience".
And while the Prime Minister made a specific reference to the role of enterprise, it has to be seen as a chess move to counter her former foreign secretary's "f*** business" outburst, rather than an attempt to capture the imagination of the nation.
The reputation of the wealth creators has sunk far indeed if the political world, unpopular as it is, sees it as fair game to bash business.
For many entrepreneurs and leaders, this state of affairs is greeted with little more than a shrug. Their response is that it's a problem of perception over reality. And in many cases, that is absolutely true.
But where once the role of companies and their impact on communities was an opportunity, it now has to be seen as an obligation. Why?
Those who make the case that the business of business is merely the bottom line are missing the massive movements in society's relationship with commerce.
Too few see business as the driving answer to our biggest challenges. And yet, discounting the immense potential of the commercial world in delivering innovations and solutions could be our generation's greatest mistake.
If you are looking at cures for cancer, proxies to plastic, or preventions to poverty, they are most likely to come from the private sector.
We need business to take up a great many challenges – all the while being driven and optimistic in its approach and achievement.
This year has been the toughest for the reputation of business. It has seen a new phrase coined – the "techlash" – to depict the battering of trust in the very entrepreneurs that we once expected to create our brightest future.
And it has also seen business become a target for those who seek to tame it with closer controls, regulation, and tax.
The response has been muted, to say the least.
The expectation that others, Prime Ministers and chancellors alike, have it within their gift to bridge the divide, is undone.
Only 56 per cent think the reputation of UK business is good, compared to 65 per cent in October last year, according to the latest tracker from the CBI.
By any measure, that level of drop in confidence should be a cause for concern. It should encourage business leaders not only to sit up and listen, but also to act. To dismiss this as a perception issue is a mistake.
For many, it represents the realities of their experience, and the expectation that business can and must do better.
More than ever, business has to live up to its responsibilities – to be the improver and the inspirer.
While some will see the role of active corporate citizen as peripheral, recent events show that it is mission critical – not only for the future of individual companies, but perhaps for the very future of capitalism itself.
And while this points to more in the way of responsibilities, there are also great possibilities at hand.
More cohesive and inspirational workplaces have been proven to deliver better performance and higher productivity. Purpose is a root to profit, not a hindrance.
With the prospect of a General Election pretty much anytime between now and 2022, businesses need to prove through their actions that they have earned the right to be hired not fired.

The Ghana Football Association is organising a five-day integrity course for 150 referees at the West Africa Football Academy (WAFA) complex in Sogakope from today Tuesday January 22 to Saturday January 26.
Ghana is on course to restoring the integrity of football in the West African country following the appointment of the Normalisation Committee by FIFA after a stinking corruption scandal rocked the nation's football.
Several Ghanaian referees were caught in a web of bribery scandal which saw FIFA slap various degree of bans on referees who got implicated in the scandal.

Some of the 'might be men' lifted the spirits during good week for Kilkenny
Enda McEvoy
@kilkennypeoplesport
Laois manager Eddie Brennan
An auspicious few days for the Men Who Would, or at any rate Who Might Be King.
"This is Kilkenny's most important match this summer," I babbled to anyone who'd listen last week. I wasn't talking about next Sunday in Croke Park.
I was talking about last Thursday in Tullamore.
All was well that ended well. DJ Carey's under-20s saw off Galway more convincingly than the scoreboard suggested and suddenly the season opened up before them.
A Leinster final to win and, even more importantly, an All-Ireland series to contest. It's about time Kilkenny reached a final in the grade.
It's long since time (2008) they won one.
These guys ought to go close. They started badly in Tullamore, losing their opening five puckouts. Corrective action was taken.
Dean Mason went short with the next puckout and kept them short up to half-time. Kilkenny proceeded to mix it up, going long and short and occasionally even across the field, and after 10 minutes it was evident that if they got enough ball into the full-forward line they'd win.
Midway through the second half they put the issue beyond doubt. Anyone who'd watched Eoin Cody with St Kieran's College and Ballyhale Shamrocks during the spring knew what he was capable of.
Here he underlined his good press by scoring the ultimate Cody – Brian Cody, that is – goal.
It was a goal that could have been scored by Henry Shefflin or Eddie Brennan or Richie Power, and indeed was scored by these gentlemen over and over again.
There was the self-sufficiency: Cody won his own ball instead of needing someone to hand it on to him. There was the dummy. There was the wristwork.
There was the cleverness to place the sliotar instead of trying to burst the net and there was the savvy to put a bounce on it, thus making a potential save even harder for the goalie.
A plethora of subsequent, breeze-assisted wides, too many of them struck from distance, meant Kilkenny couldn't clock off for the night as early as they might have. This should serve as a useful lesson to DJ's lads.
For a team with the wind, the percentage play is to drop the ball into the full-forward line and let them carry on the work from there, whether by taking on their markers or by playing it back out to a runner from the half-forward line.
Keep the sliotar in play (one of Fr Tommy Maher's maxims) and keep the pressure on the defence. Have a pop from distance by all means, but don't stay having a pop from distance.
DJ will doubtless be reiterating this point over the coming weeks.
Three days after Tullamore another potential future Kilkenny manager franked his reputation when Laois – or "Eddie Brennan's Laois", as they seem to be better known - shocked Dublin. Two observations spring to mind.
Firstly, given both the limited pool of players available to him and the poisonous events of last year's county final, for Brennan to have won the Joe McDonagh Cup and overseen the humbling of Dublin constitutes an achievement of a lofty order.
Secondly, given that Laois beat a team who drew with Wexford, who in turn beat Kilkenny, what does it say about the standard of this year's Leinster championship, vastly entertaining as the competition was? Nothing very flattering, I'd suggest.
Finally, let's not forget Richie Mulrooney. He won't be the next Kilkenny manager and at this hour of his life he surely doesn't want to be.
But he's led a group of under-17s unburdened by any great expectations to the verge of an All-Ireland semi-final. That's fair going too.
After the double disappointment of Croke Park last Sunday week, Kilkenny hurling needed a boost. Thanks to the efforts of Mulrooney, Brennan (vicariously) and DJ, it got one.

Good Decisions=Racism
PUBLISHED: 1:00 PM 16 Jul 2020
UPDATED: 5:15 PM 16 Jul 2020
Smithsonian Defines "Systematic Racism" And "Whiteness" As Hard Work Ethic, Individualism, Family
The Smithsonian is part of the U.S. Government, and therefore gets U.S. taxpayer funds… to tell us all that good choices are "systematic racism."
Working hard to succeed... yeah, that's racist. (Source: Gretzy Dog and Friends YouTube Screenshot)
Apparently, if a person makes good decisions, loves their family, and works hard… that's "systematic racism" defined by "whiteness," according to the taxpayer funded National Museum of African American History and Culture, part of the U.S. government-run Smithsonian Institution.
The museum includes that information on a web page about "whiteness" in America that defines it to include individualism, science, and hard work.
And, by the way, taxpayers paid for this.
Breitbart News reported:
The web page on whiteness appears to have been live on the museum's website for just over a month, according to a search of the Internet Archive. It offers definitions and educational materials for explaining "systemic racism."
One guide, drawn from "data" on a chart created in 1990, advises that features of "whiteness" include "rugged individualism," the nuclear family, an "emphasis on the scientific method," and a belief that "hard work is the key to success."
The National Museum of African American History & Culture wants to make you aware of certain signs of whiteness: Individualism, hard work, objectivity, the nuclear family, progress, respect for authority, delayed gratification, more.

"Whiteness," the Smithsonian website declares (original emphasis), "and white racialized identity refer to the way that white people, their customs, culture, and beliefs operate as the standard by which all other groups of are compared. Whiteness is also at the core of understanding race in America. Whiteness and the normalization of white racial identity throughout America's history have created a culture where nonwhite persons are seen as inferior or abnormal."
It adds (original emphasis): "Being white does not mean you haven't experienced hardships or oppression. Being white does mean you have not faced hardships or oppression based on the color of your skin. We need to be honest about the ways white people have benefited from racism so we can work toward an equitable, fair and just society."
The website goes on to explain "what white privilege looks like in day to day living," including: "If I want to, I can be pretty sure of finding a publisher for this piece on white privilege."
It includes a video in which Dr. Robert DiAngelo, author of the bestselling White Fragility, advises viewers about white racism, including the use of the word "sketchy" to describe dangerous neighborhoods, which she says is a racist concept within "the white mind."
The website goes on to advise: "If you identify as white, acknowledging your white racial identity and its privileges is a crucial step to help end racism. Facing your whiteness is hard and can result in feelings of guilt, sadness, confusion, defensiveness, or fear."
It advises "concerned citizens": "Whiteness operates in covert and overt ways that affect all of us. It can appear as practices within an institution or accepted social norms."
As a remedy, it advises the public to "combat" aspects of whiteness.
[In other words, stop caring about your family, winning, hard work, or science… because that's racist.]

DLA Piper's Phoenix office was established in February 2007 with a core group of lateral attorneys.
Today the office is continuing to grow and has been privileged to serve a growing list of local, regional and global businesses. To date, the office has handled transactions valued at more than $12 billion, significant, complex real estate transactions as well as numerous high-profile litigation and arbitration matters, both domestic and international.
Our Phoenix office lawyers have substantial experience in the Corporate, Litigation, International Arbitration and Real Estate practice areas.


The purpose of the meeting was for Liz Kane from Shire House to give an overview of the different components in creating a residence or community such as Shire House.
Shire House was and is being created for young adults with Aspergers with challenging behaviors to have a place to live where they can learn and strengthen behaviors that will help them achieve their personal life goals. Shire House also was and is being created as a place for young adults on the spectrum and parents of such establish and have a community and a place where they feel safe to socialize and find assistance in areas related to their diagnosis, they might need help with.
It was decided that Shire House would be established as a non profit. We incorporated as a non profit with the IRS and the State, this was done with the use of an attorney. The same attorney started the application process, which because we had no history of existence took a year as we set up the house and established policies and procedures.
We then went about the search for board members and once we had two board members (it is recommended you have an odd numbers of board members) we set about putting together our Mission Statement.
After researching other Bay Area and surrounding areas for organizations like or similar to Shire House, we put together our Business Plan and budget to support our residence structure.
We then went about the search for board members and once we had two board members (it is recommended you have an odd numbers of board members) we set about putting together our Mission Statement. The Mission Statement set the foundation for the organization. We then set about finding answers to the questions, "how are we going to do this?" and "what do we need to do this?".
These are our actual October to December 2014 numbers but they have increased as of this presentation and might need to increase in the future. Our starting numbers were much lower since we did not yet know what the actual costs were going to be.
We did know that we might have various avenues of income.
Clients...live at Shire House 24 7 Respite is 24 hour cycles Classes...we offer primarily during the summer school break O S S are when parents have us provide hourly services for their young adults Donations...given by private individuals and are tax deductable...we were approved for non profit status in August of 2014 Grants...non as of yet.
Our PG&E bill was lower when we switched fro residential to business.
We did not renew our Comcast business contract and will have the residential bundle lower price as of January 2015.
Our grocery bill includes food and drinks for our Friday night socials.
Some of our supportive services are provided by outside vendors/professionals. We found that difficult in that we did not have enough cars and the clients schedules were erratic. We now have our services by two providers, PBS and Paula Gallay, who come to Shire House.
Staffing is a huge portion of our budget.
The large Workers Comp. December bill was because we underreported our Employee Payroll Report for the year so we had to pay the difference at the end of the calendar year.
We have 5 part time employees, support staff that come in between 8 am and 10 pm.
The clients in this particular Shire House model need 24/7 supervision. Right now I am the 24/7 house manager, we plan is to have 2, 12 hour, 5 day house managers and a 3rd floating house manager.
Presently, this particular Shire House model is a supervised model with a house manager, supported by social mentors.
Clients are selected after a review of their diagnosis and medication regimen by Dr. Scotton and myself.
Therapeutic services are provided by outside professionals and because our clients are high functioning, they practice self monitoring and regular group meetings.
Socials are provided in house every week and we help and encourage personal social outings.
We invite other young adults in the community with in the spectrum to participate in our socials and we have a parents support group.
Challenges we face on a daily basis are....Mood variances brought on by individual diagnosis and personal challenges.

The "Navajo" Pattern and it's Significance
Written by Krystle Linton
The Navajo tribe are the Native American people of the Southwestern United States. They called themselves "Dine" or "the People". They have suffered throughout history, like the majority of other indigenous people and minority groups, via genocide and forced assimilation, the effects of which still create many challenges for the health and wellbeing of the tribe members today.
A brief history/ key defining times
(This is not a detailed history as it is beyond the scope of this blog post – these events do not define the Navajo people but are important events to note).
Prior to Colombus landing in the area (1491), Navajo people roamed the Four Corners Area in the Colorado Plateau.
Battles over land began in 1805 – notably the Massacre at Canyon de Chelly — Spanish soldiers kill more than 100 Navajo women, children, and elders hiding in a cave
Wars with the Americans begin, Navajo taken and used as slaves North of Window Rock, Arizona, Fort Defiance was established in 1851 to create a military presence in Navajo Country. It was built on valuable grazing land that the federal government then prohibited the Navajo from using.
Unsuccessful 1860 attack by the Navajo. The next year, at the onset of the Civil War, the army abandoned Fort Defiance due to prolonged fighting.
1863 The next US Army plan was a scorched earth policy. Burn every Navajo or Apache crop found, drive them to starvation, then let them come to the army and surrender. It was a simple plan that worked.
In 1864 In a forced removal, the U.S. Army drives the Navajo at gunpoint as they walk from their homeland in Arizona and New Mexico, to Fort Sumner, 300 miles away at Bosque Redondo. Hundreds die during 18 days of marching. Only about 9,000 Navajos reach the fort. This is now referred to as The Long Walk. In respect to weaving: The arrival of the first Navajo to Fort Summer marked the end of the weaving era known as the "classic period" and begins the "late classic" era.
1868 The Treaty of Bosque Redondo creates a Navajo Reservation – Navajo people returned to their land from Fort Summer which established Navajo as a sovereign nation.
Extended battles continue against the government to live and thrive on their land.
Much like indigenous populations worldwide, Navajo people are still facing an extended list of challenges, the most pressing issues being:
Widespread Poverty and unemployment
Poor physical and mental health
Overcrowded poor quality housing.
disproportionate incarceration
Limited access/ effectiveness of education
They have the right to vote but they may be more than 100 miles from polling stations and they may not be literate
Indian nations do not own their reservation lands. Rather, the lands are held in trust by the federal government. This prevents Native Americans who live on reservations from leveraging their assets for loans, making it difficult for them to start businesses or promote economic growth in the area.
The significance of Weaving
Navajo textiles are more than an expression of art; they are an expression of spirituality, community, and cultural continuity. According to Navajo tradition, weaving is the most ancient and sacred practice of their people.
Two spirits, the Spider People, brought hemp seeds to the Navajo. Spider Man taught them to make the loom, while Spider Woman taught them how to weave so that they could always provide for themselves (something that is currently being challanged!). From this, the entire Navajo conception of society, balance, harmony, and prosperity was founded. In this history, we see that weaving rivals farming or hunting in terms of importance to the Navajo.
How the pressures on the Navajo People changed their weavings
While Navajo blankets have been made of wool since sheep were introduced by the Spanish in the 17th century, tradition suggests that plant fibres like indigenous hemp may have been used for textiles before this. Designs on Navajo textiles are usually geometric in character with the triangle and diamond forming the most basic elements.
While at Fort Summer the Navajo were still weaving and making jewellery. Government supplies of commercial cloth and yarn were being issued at Bosque Redondo and the weaving of this time displays a vast array of raveled and plied materials of many different colours – something new to the usual earthy colours of Navajo weaving.
When the Navajo returned to their homeland, after all much of their livestock and land has been destroyed, they were destitute. The government continued to supply the Navajo with cloth, yarn, sheep, and foodstuffs, but these annuities were intermittent at best. Government annuities dwindled after the Civil War with congress concerned over the post-war expenses. They, nevertheless, continued to weave to provide for themselves.
Introduction to different breeds of sheep and new artificial dyes meant The "late classic" era in Navajo weaving ended and the "transitional period" was begun. These "transitional" blankets varied widely in their artistry and quality. Some traders bought the blankets by the pound, causing the entrepreneurial Navajo to fail to wash the grease from the wool and to make additions of sand and lard to add to the weight. This time also marks when the designs were valued for their decorative purposes (eg woven rugs) not just practical uses like blankets.
Impact of tourism and mass production
Roads were built and maintained throughout the reservation and tourism by the 1930s and 1940s weaving was a booming industry.
As the popularity of Navajo rug designs increased, this allowed some fair trade businesses to thrive while Navajo weavers suffered – this is still happening.
Copy or imitation Navajo weaving is currently produced in Guatemala, Peru, Hong Kong, India, Pakistan, Japan, Egypt, Hungary, Romania, northern Thailand and, in particular, Oaxaca, Mexico. In tapestry weaving, there are obviously some common elements (like creating geometric designs) because of the relationship of the loom's vertical warps to horizontal wefts. However, appropriation of Navajo designs and lack of communal copyright protection for historic patterns has seriously eroded the volume of thousands of Navajo weavers' sales. Navajo weavers have seen a large decline and only the minority make an adequate living.
Weaving is not only culturally significant but also a cornerstone of their economy. It needs to be protected.
How can you help!?
Adopt A Native Elder is a non-profit charitable organization that provides food, medical supplies, yarn, and firewood for the Elders within the Navajo Reservation. Their focus is on supporting the traditional Elders who desire to remain on their Lands, living in the traditional ways of the Dine'.
I am donating 25% of the proceeds from the "Navajo Pattern" to "Adopt An Elder" who serve to help reduce extreme poverty and hardship facing these traditional Elders.
$40 yarn bundles may also be donated for a weaver to make a small rug to sell. You may also purchase a weaver's rug from the website. 100% of the proceeds go directly to the weaver. You may also make general donations that are used for food, firewood and other essentials.

Die Wahl zum 9. Niedersächsischen Landtag fand am 4. Juni 1978 gleichzeitig mit der Bürgerschaftswahl in Hamburg statt.

Hintergrund

Die sozialliberale Koalition unter Alfred Kubel (SPD) hatte nach der Wahl 1974 nur eine Ein-Stimmen-Mehrheit gegenüber der oppositionellen CDU. 1976 sollte ein Generationenwechsel im Ministerpräsidentenamt stattfinden. Die SPD schlug den bisherigen Finanzminister Helmut Kasimier vor. Er erreichte in zwei Wahlgängen allerdings nicht die notwendige Mehrheit. Der Kandidat der CDU Ernst Albrecht erhielt erst zwei, dann drei Stimmen mehr als Kasimier. Im dritten, dem entscheidenden Wahlgang, zählte nur noch die relative Mehrheit. Die SPD stellte den Bundesbauminister Karl Ravens auf. Mit Hilfe von Abweichlern aus der sozialliberalen Koalition wurde aber am 12. Februar 1976 Ernst Albrecht (CDU) zum Ministerpräsidenten gewählt.

Albrecht führte ein Jahr lang eine Alleinregierung, die auf die Stimmen der FDP angewiesen war. Sie trat erst am 19. Januar 1977 in die Regierung ein.

Ein Wahlkampfthema war die Entscheidung der Bundesregierung unter Helmut Schmidt (SPD) und der niedersächsischen Landesregierung unter Albrecht für ein Atommüllendlager im wendländischen Gorleben. Gorleben polarisiert seitdem die innenpolitische Landschaft. Die Grüne Liste Umweltschutz als neue politische Kraft trat als Sachverwalterin der Atomkraftgegner auf. Ihr Spitzenkandidat war Martin Mombaur.

Für die CDU trat der amtierende Ministerpräsident Ernst Albrecht für eine erste Bestätigung seiner Regierung durch die Bürger an. Die SPD stellte ihren Kandidaten vom dritten Wahlgang 1976 auf, den Bundesbauminister Karl Ravens. Spitzenkandidat der FDP war der niedersächsische Innenminister Rötger Groß.

Parteien und Kandidaten
Der Landeswahlausschuss ließ 694 Kreiswahlvorschläge von 11 Parteien und Einzelbewerber zu:

Ergebnis

Die CDU konnte die Wahl klar für sich entscheiden. Sie erhielt mit 48,7 Prozent nur 0,1 Prozent weniger als 1974. Die SPD verlor leicht auf 42 Prozent und lag damit deutlich hinter der CDU.
Die FDP wurde für ihren Koalitionswechsel nicht honoriert. Sie verlor fast drei Prozent und fiel damit unter die Fünf-Prozent-Hürde. Die GLU erreichte mit 3,9 Prozent ein Achtungsergebnis und war fast so stark geworden wie die FDP. Ein Jahr später bei der Bürgerschaftswahl in Bremen konnte allerdings erst die erste grüne Partei in ein deutsches Landesparlament einziehen.

Damit waren, wie schon nach der Wahl 1970, nur noch zwei Parteien im Landtag vertreten. Diesmal hatte die CDU das bessere Ende für sich und stellte eine Mehrheit von 11 Stimmen.

Wahlberechtigte: 5241051

Wähler: 4114730 (Wahlbeteiligung: 78,51 %)

Gültige Stimmen: 4088183

Erstmals wurde in Deutschland eine Wahltagsbefragung durchgeführt.

Folgen

Ernst Albrecht (CDU) war deutlich bestätigt worden und konnte eine Alleinregierung bilden.

Zusammen mit der Niederlage der FDP bei der Bürgerschaftswahl in Hamburg 1978 am gleichen Tag wurde eine Krise der sozialliberalen Koalition in Bonn konstatiert. Zwei Tage nach der Wahl trat Bundesinnenminister Werner Maihofer (FDP) zurück. Sein Rücktritt wurde neben der Verwicklung in die Lauschaffäre Traube und seiner Rolle bei den Fahndungspannen während der RAF-Entführung von Hanns Martin Schleyer im Jahr 1977 als Folge der desolaten Wahlergebnisse der Liberalen gesehen.

Edmonton Football Team asking fans to help find new name
Adam Cook CTV News Edmonton
@AdamCookCTV Contact
Published Friday, November 27, 2020 5:46PM MST
EDMONTON -- The Edmonton Football Team put out a call to fans to submit suggestions on a new name for the storied franchise. Over five days, the team's website received close to 10,000 submissions.
"There's a lot of interest and we're very appreciative but we're not surprised," said CEO and team president Chris Presson.
The EE could stand for extra effort. The club needs a new name before rebranding.
In July, the franchise dropped the name that had existed for nearly a century following a new round of public outcry and pressure from sponsors. However, the logo and green and gold colours will remain.
"How do you build on what you have? How do you recognize the past while looking forward to the future?...That's one of the bigger challenges," Presson told CTV news.
The club hopes to decide on a new moniker in early April and is anxious to sell off old merchandise by Dec. 31.
"Frankly, we have a million dollars of merchandise that has the former name on it...and how much do you have to write off? That's a pretty big number."
The team's president says rebranding during the pandemic with no revenue coming in puts the franchise in a precarious financial situation. New uniforms and merchandise must be ordered while everything with the old name on it, inside and outside the stadium, needs to be scrubbed.
"That's going to take us probably three years to do. It'll be a stair-step approach because it will cost at least two million dollars...we have no revenue coming in and had a lost season," said Presson.
The top priority at this point is settling on a new name so the rebranding can begin. Presson says he's hearing suggestions from fans and employees at all hours of the day.
"It was very early in the morning...and I heard this knock-knock on my door and he said, 'Hey I have a name for you.' And his name was Edmonton Edge, and he very eloquently explained it. How he would tie it into other things. He did a great job. So it's constant."

We have heard about debt in other articles, and certainly this is a subject that needs to be addressed before one begins to invest. However, I do not believe that one should necessarily wait until all debt is gone before starting the process; it depends on the kind of debt. Very generally, there are two kinds of debt: good debt and bad debt.
Bad debt is most commonly, though not exclusively, accumulated through the use of credit cards. The card can give a false sense of affordability, when making the purchase may not be a financially sound decision. The come-on of a minimum payment is an expensive proposition indeed, and prospective Drippers should remove themselves from this loop of payments before beginning to invest.
The crux of bad debt is that it is unnecessary for one's future prosperity. In diametric opposition is good debt, which is incurred to an advantageous end. Examples of this would be a mortgage, a car loan, or a college loan. The average person doesn't have enough cash to purchase a home, car, or college degree; assuming debt to acquire shelter, equity, transportation, or a better career is a necessary -- and usually good -- investment.
Good debt is a temporary step back that allows one to move ahead with greater strength. Bad debt is often a long-term drain on resources. Obviously, being debt-free is the best scenario, but understand that good debt is an investment, just as is the Drip.
Another part of the pre-Drip process is establishing a budget. Every investor needs to understand how the income of their monies relates to its outflow. This is probably the easiest step.
Some expenses will occur on a regular basis, like the mortgage or rent, so they are easily predictable. Although others will vary, like the electric or telephone bill, the average monthly cost can be estimated. Once the necessities are established and subtracted from the monthly income, the remainder is theoretically available to invest. Select an amount that you feel confident you will be able to invest every month and assume that it is no longer available. You won't miss what you don't have.
If you have additional, irregular sources of income, determine a percentage to be invested. For instance, occasionally I will sell a photographic print through my website or the gallery where I show my work. Half of this money gets invested, a quarter gets set aside for taxes, and the final quarter I spend.
Finally, make sure that you are contributing the maximum matched amount of your employer's retirement plan. I am fortunate that my employer matches up to 7.5% of my income in a 403(b) plan. This being the case, I assign a full 7.5% of my paycheck to this offer of "free money." Ensuring that you take advantage of these opportunities should be an integral part of your investment scheme.
This done, we can start picking companies, right? Well, no, but we're getting close. We still need to determine how many companies we should hold in our portfolio. After all, it makes little sense to start with a dozen Drips, only to later realize that we should be holding half as many.
As the number of companies to hold will vary with each individual, next week we will go over some guidelines on how to determine the right portfolio size for you.

The Plymouth View
Ryan Taylor looking forward to returning to the U's
Ryan Taylor has been talking to the Plymouth Herald about returning to the U's on Saturday.
The 29-year-old forward signed for the Pilgrims last January after two seasons with the U's and it's a game he is looking forward to as in-form Argyle visit the U's.
"There is definitely extra motivation, for myself anyway. I always think that" he said. "It's the same playing against Portsmouth, Rotherham – or whoever it may be – there is extra motivation.
"You want to do well because you have still got friends there, and what have you. You want to do well in front of your family and friends so I think that's the extra push – not saying I give any less for any other game."
"I'm looking forward to it. Obviously, I was there before I came here so it will be nice to go back. I spent 18 months there. Hopefully it's going to be a good result."
Taylor moved to Oxford from Portsmouth in the summer of 2015 and was part of the U's squad which won promotion:
"I had an injury there which kept me out for a bit but, on the whole, it was very good. We got promoted from League Two into League One so I have got fond memories. There are only a few players there now that I know and there has been a shake up in the coaching staff as well so it's going to be a bit different."
Four successive wins have given the visitors plenty of momentum, but United won 4-0 at Home Park earlier in the season, which sets the game up nicely.
"The squad is very confident at the minute" Taylor said "and if we carry on what we have been doing then we will be looking up the table rather than down. It's exciting for the next 13 games of what we can maybe do."
That's a view shared by Argyle boss Derek Adams:
"All we do is try to win every game we possibly can, and we have done that since the start of the season. I'm not going to sit here and say 'we are going to do this, we are going to do that'. I did say at the start the season 'let's see where we are with six games to go', and I stand by that."
Argyle have sold out their allocation of 1,800 tickets for the game and Adams told the Plymouth Herald:
"The players are in great form and playing with great confidence. There were over 10,000 on a Tuesday night and they were very vocal, and that helped the team immensely. We are going to Oxford on Saturday and we have sold out our full allocation, and that tells you how they feel about the team. That's a good thing."

THE LARGEST, MOST CREATIVE PANINI MENU ON THE PLANET!
The worst ever! I ordered the fish and chips and the fish smelled bad and spoiled and the fries were cold and old!
No extra sauce added as requested.
Awful service, I've ordered from them a million times and they cancelled my order at the time I was picking it up. I ordered it hours ahead of time! I was told they couldn't find my address and all of a sudden it was "too far" nobody from the food panda service team helped me get to the bottom of the issue.
I ate the butter clams and soon after felt my stomach churning and churning then harden. Then I had diarrhea and was very uncomfortable with a lot of gas after for the entire afternoon till now, but I cannot take antacids or any meds bc I am pregnant. Something is wrong or unsanitary with the clams. Please notify the kitchen/restaurant.
I SAID NO ONIONS AND PEPPERS AND YOU GAVE ME BOTH STILL!!
they mistook my greek salad for salmon salad! but it was still good.

For a baseball-obsessed area of the planet, New England doesn't produce many professional ballplayers, even fewer Major-Leaguers, and a scant few greats of the game. Warmer climes are usually looked upon as the cradles of the sport: Florida, Georgia, Arizona, California, and, of course, Texas.
The comparative rarity of a native New Englander reaching the Show means most Boston fans have always had a soft spot in their hearts for Rocco Baldelli, The Boy from Rhode Island Made Good, even if he spent all but one year of his career in a Tampa Bay Rays uniform (and will remain with that team's front office, now that his playing days are done).

Department of Homeland Security Deports 370,000 People in 2013
By James A. Welcome
BY ATTORNEY JAMES A. WELCOME
The number of non-U.S. Citizens removed from the United States dropped in 2013 from the all-time high of nearly 410,000 in 2012. This number has meaning for people on both sides of the debate about immigration reform.
First, in pure number form, Homeland Security is deporting approximately 1,013 aliens per day. In very rare occasions, the government allows for a person accepting his or her voluntary return to purchase a plane ticket. But this is extremely rare. So, the government is spending millions and millions of dollars to deport people from the United States every year. If these people have children, the unforeseen costs of government support and health care continue to add up for the children left behind.
In a press release issued by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Acting Director of the Agency concedes that this number contains both criminal aliens and people with no criminal record in the United States. Why this number is still so high when policies have been adopted by the Department of Homeland Security to allow employees of DHS to exercise prosecutorial discretion is unclear. Other lesser known recent policy changes, including protection for parents of children born in the United States from deportation appear to have been all but ignored by DHS employees.
At the same time, the drop in deportations of nearly 50,000 immigrants from one year ago is concerning to those who feel that the President and DHS are beginning to stop enforcement of the nation's immigration laws. This is an example of what the current Republican Party in Congress means when they feel that they cannot trust President Obama to enforce the nation's immigration laws. Both parties agree for the need for increased border security and monitoring.
A compelling argument has to do with the economic impact of immigration reform and the positive effect this reform could have on the economy when people are allowed to live and work legally and pay taxes. A large percentage of U.S. Citizen children of undocumented immigrants avail themselves government food stamps and state health insurance. Immigration reform could provide a way to have more families participate in the economy, pay sales tax, pay income taxes and rely less on government services in the future.
Here is a link to a recent article discussing the opinions in the current debate about the proposals for reforming the nation's immigration laws. Tell me what you think:
