Turkey Is 'Intensely' Preparing a New Offensive against Kurdish Militants East of the Euphrates River

President Trump has ordered a quick withdrawal of US forces from Syria. The Wall Street Journal comments, "In Shift, Trump Orders U.S. Troops Out of Syria." This is in conflict with the State Department and Pentagon, because it marks an abrupt shift of the U.S.'s posture in the Middle East regarding ending a four-year so-called campaign against the Islamic State in favor of Turkey, resulting in James Mattis departing as Defense Secretary over Trump's order to pull out of Syria. In a letter to Trump, Mattis said the president has the right to a Defense Secretary 'whose views are better aligned with yours.' A day after Trump's pull-out order, Jim Mattis announced that he would resign at the end of February.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the withdrawal will be from the northeastern region of the country where Kurdish militants are strong, leaving them open to attack by Turkey. But according to The New York Times, unnamed official sources believe a "full withdrawal" is imminent. The "anti-war leader and human rights promoter" Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday praised President Trump's surprise decision to pull out of Syria, even as the United States' closest allies criticized the move and said they would remain in the war-ridden country due to the threat still posed by Islamic State. CodePink also applauded the prospect of all U.S. troops leaving Syria. Trump proclaimed victory over ISIS, saying: "And we've won against ISIS. We've beaten them, and we've beaten them badly. And now it's time for our troops to come back home." The French government also disagreed with the White House's assessment that the fight against the Islamic State is over. France's Defense Minister Florence Parly said, "Islamic State has not been wiped from the map nor have its roots. The last pockets of this terrorist organization must be defeated militarily once and for all."
The United Kingdom expressed a similar view, releasing a statement reiterating that it will continue its actions in Syria, claiming that the Islamic State still poses a threat even if it no longer controls much territory. German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas seconded this view, tweeting a statement saying the 1,200 personnel German personnel in Syria will remain.
The Turkish Defense Minister has declared that Syrian Kurdish militants will be "buried in ditches when the time comes." This means that Turkey will likely attack Syrian Kurds, an outcome that was likely negotiated with Erdogan, who days ago announced a new offensive against the remaining SDF-controlled region of Syria. Turkey perceives the US-backed YPG as a security threat in northern Syria, and Ankara's upcoming military operation is aimed against the group.

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan asked US forces to clear the contentious Manbij town of YPG forces so as to avert any direct confrontation with Washington. The upcoming operation aims to target the YPG-controlled areas east of the Euphrates River in northeastern Syria. The YPG recruits most of its cadres from the Kurdish-populated areas of northern Syria, which neighbours Turkey's predominantly Kurdish-populated southeastern region.
Soon after the Assad regime withdrew from northern Syria during the civil war, the YPG moved in, creating 'cantons,' or autonomous areas, in the region in 2012. Turkey has repeatedly said that the country will not allow a PKK-imposed Kurdish corridor ranging from northern Iraq to the Mediterranean Sea.
The Turkish and Iranian presidents just met to discuss "regional stability." Turkey is 'intensely' preparing for a new operation east of Euphrates.

IMHO May Day Speech, Los Angeles
Invited antiwar speech by representative of the International Marxist-Humanist Organization at May Day rally sponsored by Union del Barrio, following a march by several hundred from MacArthur Park to City Hall.
I went to one of my first protests when I was 16 against the war in Iraq during the Bush regime. I want to tell you about the the war on terror that doesn't get talked about much. The US has bombed Syria since 2014 in name of killing terrorists. When the US-led Coalition took back the Syrian city of Raqqa from ISIS, it destroyed 80% of the city and killed 1400 civilians last year. And in Iraq, the battle to take back Mosul from ISIS was similarly bloody. The US has killed 6000 civilians in bombing ISIS in Syria. We cannot keep silent about this.
We must stand against the endless war on terror, from Syria and Iraq to Yemen and Afghanistan, but we also must also stand against the bombing of Syrians by Assad. Most of the over 500,000 people killed in Syria have been killed by Assad and his imperialist allies like Russia. In Sednaya prison, 13,000 prisoners, mainly nonviolent activists, including many Leftists, have been murdered by the regime. We must reject the idea that the only choices are fascism or terrorism; that's what fascists say to keep power everywhere.
How many more terrorists has the US created with its endless wars? Why has the US been bombing Afghanistan for 17 years? Why is the US helping to kill people in Yemen? We need to organize mass-marches to end the so-called war on terror that makes us less safe. But at the same time, we also need to let those facing mass murder from fascist regimes know that they are not alone and that we stand with them and against all imperialists and fascists! Solidarity with the Syrian revolution, including Rojava!

Response to Fredo Corvo, "Is the defense of Afrin proletarian internationalism?" (Libcom, 5 March 2018)
As a response to "Afrin Under Attack by Neo-Ottoman Erdogan: We Must Defend Afrin," a statement published on the website of the Coalition for Peace, Revolution, and Social Justice on January 22, Fredo Corvo's posing of the question, "Is the defense of Afrin proletarian internationalism?" (Libcom, 5 March), unfortunately presents several arguments based on straw-men. Though he ostensibly writes from a libertarian-communist perspective, he dedicates much effort to critiquing Marxist humanism, thus overlooking the fact that our Coalition represents a convergence of different revolutionary-left groupings and individuals. Plus, Corvo's critique is only vaguely anti-capitalist, far from being concretely humanist or anti-imperialist. It is unclear whether Corvo's critique can be considered anarchist.

Speech at Coalition for Peace, Revolution and Social Justice's January 26 banner drop marking "Year 2 of Trump: LA Rise Up!"
by Ali Kiani, International Marxist-Humanist Organization
The danger of nuclear war is present today more than ever with Trump's threats against North Korea and Iran. Without precedent in US history, the president openly states that he is willing to wage war and destroy a nation for US interests, disregarding his allies' wishes. Trump not only follows the advice of his buddy Benjamin Netanyahu about the Iran nuclear deal, but he also announces that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. He remains ahead of schedule on the opening of the US embassy there as well as cutting off funding for Mahmoud Abbas for a Palestinian state, unless he bows to Israel and respects Trump. At same time, his military commander General Jim Mattis announces that the US should be ready for war at any moment.

Stop Trump's War Threats against North Korea and Iran!

With Donald Trump's open threats of nuclear annihilation in August, the U.S.-North Korea confrontation has become the greatest threat to world peace. The U.S. has never recognized the North Korean regime and it was explicitly targeted—alongside Iraq and Iran—in George W. Bush's infamous 2002 "Axis of Evil" speech. Since then, this brutal totalitarian regime has escalated its nuclear program—most recently, by launching a missile that could reach Alaska, and by threatening to target Guam. Even if the North Koreans have not yet miniaturized their nuclear warheads to fit onto a missile, it is conceivable that this will happen in the next few years. At the same time, the U.S. has targeted North Korean territory with nuclear weapons for decades. We oppose U.S. imperialism and all other forms of imperialism, militarism, and authoritarian capitalism in East Asia and throughout the world.
An equally dangerous war threat we face is the U.S., the Saudis, their allies, and Israel against Iran. Trump has vowed to rip up Iran's nuclear agreement with the U.S., the UN, and the European Union. Trump also used very bellicose language against Iran during his trip to Saudi Arabia in May. More recently, he has promised to decertify the nuclear agreement in October, which could touch off a real war with Iran. We need to find ways to oppose Trump's war threats while also supporting democratic and revolutionary movements inside Iran and the region. Iran is a regional power that, with its ally Russia, has intervened brutally against the Syrian people. We oppose the imperialist war threats against Iran and also support the struggles of the peoples of the region against all other forms of imperialism, militarism, authoritarianism, and capitalism.
Abolish nuclear weapons everywhere, including the U.S., N. Korea, Israel, Russia and China!
Defend the peoples of the Middle East and Asia from war, imperialism, and authoritarian capitalism!
Stop the Russian-Iranian imperialist intervention in Syria! Support Syrians Who Oppose Assad, ISIS and Al-Qaida!

Zach Medeiros, "Solidarity with the Oppressed, Not the Oppressors: Why We Should Support Syrian Revolutionaries"
Zach Medeiros, Socialist Party of the USA
Comments presented at the July 14 launch of the Coalition for Peace, Revolution and Social Justice at a public meeting at the Westside Peace Center, Culver City
How can we support revolutionary Syrians and the Syrian people as a whole? This is not an easy question to answer. Yassin al-Haj Saleh, one of Syria's greatest intellectuals and a former political prisoner jailed for nearly two decades for speaking out against his government, once wrote that "Syria is the world, and the world is Syria." In other words, Syria has not only become a global issue, but the world has become a Syrian issue. When Syrians first took to the streets in 2011 to protest the brutality, corruption, poverty and discrimination that defined life for most living under the Assad regime, who could have foreseen that they would become the world? In those heady days, where dictators who had ruled for decades were falling like cards before the might of the people, who could have imagined that over six years later, Bashar al-Assad would still be on his butcher's throne, propped up to one degree or another by most of the regional and global powers?

Kevin B. Anderson, "Rightwing Populism, Neofascism, & Imperialism in the Trump Era: Where Do We Go from Here?"
Kevin B. Anderson, International Marxist-Humanist Organization and Professor of Sociology, UC-Santa Barbara
The year 2017 has brought forth a new and ominous situation for the US, the world, and for progressive and revolutionary movements. First, we have seen the rise to power in the US of a form of rightwing populism with fascist overtones in the Trump regime. Trumpism shares some common features with neofascist movements abroad like the racist, anti-immigrant National Front in France or the neofascist Orban regime in Hungary. Trumpism is a hybrid form, however, as it continues many features of neoliberalism — like a cabinet of plutocrats — alongside those of rightwing populism. What is clear is that the new Trump regime is more openly authoritarian, racist, misogynist, anti-immigrant, Islamophobic, and anti-environment than we have ever seen in the U.S. at the national level, even under Nixon, Reagan, or Bush.
Second, the people of the U.S. are fighting back with force and determination. For we have in 2017 also witnessed the largest popular mobilizations of progressive and leftist forces since the 1960s. This has been true not only in the U.S., with the women's march, the scientists' march, and the almost daily marches of immigrant rights, environmental, and anti-racist activists. It has also been seen at the large protests outside the G20 Summit in Germany, and in the leftwing populist Mélenchon candidacy in France and that of Corbyn in Britain, and of course, the Sanders campaign here last year. (In the U.S. in 2017, the continuous mobilizations are also keeping alive the split within the dominant classes as seen in the hearings over Russia or the firing of Comey.)
This Coalition for Peace, Revolution, and Social Justice was originally conceived as a new type of antiwar coalition that would be able to oppose war and imperialism not only from the U.S. and its allies like Saudi Arabia, but also from their rivals like Russia and its allies like Iran. Thus, we wanted to oppose the murderous actions of Russia, Iran, and the Assad regime in Syria, at the same time that we opposed the wars of the U.S. and its allies in Yemen, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

A criminal defense lawyer can be an indispensable ally for anyone who has been charged with a crime. While some might believe that they are capable of defending themselves in a court of law, this is generally a very unwise choice. A criminal law attorney understands the complicated ins and outs of the legal system and can apply that knowledge for a client's benefit. When an accused person's life or freedom is at stake, a skilled legal professional is not a luxury, but a necessity. A competent legal representative can help the client cope with not only the difficult emotional issues experienced by someone who has been accused of a crime, but they can also guide the client through this frequently complicated process, explaining things each step of the way. In addition to these services, a defense lawyer will deal with opposing council, negotiating any possible deals and getting information. Before representing the client in court, the defense attorney will do whatever needs to be done to pull the case together, whether that requres intense research or hiring a private investigator.
Regardless of the charges that a defendant might face, hiring competent legal counsel should be done very quickly. Since no two cases are alike, a criminal defense lawyer can sort through the details of the case and apply their knowledge and expertise to the specific needs of their client. When someone finds themselves facing jail time or, if the offense is serious enough, the death penalty, the stakes are extremely high. Skilled legal representation can make all the difference in the life of an accused person. When an accused offender cannot afford to hire a criminal law attorney, the court can appoint a legal professional who will serve without payment or at a reduced fee. There have been defendants who have attempted to represent themselves, but generally these efforts have not met without success. This area of law is quite vast and is impossible for anyone, regardless of intelligence, to master quickly. There could be important rules of law that the lay person would not even know to pursue that could make all the difference in a successful defense. A client who has decided to plead guilty might think that, since the case would appear to be relatively cut and dry, legal representation is not required. Nothing could be further from the truth. There can be risks to pleading guilty without negotiation that a lay person is unaware of. For all of these reasons, a wise defendant will never attempt to represent themselves.
The functions of a criminal defense lawyer include working with prosecutors on the defendant's behalf and perhaps obtaining reduced charges or a shorter sentence. Since it is virtually impossible for someone accused of a crime, particularly a serious one, to be objective about the situation, a criminal law attorney can provide a kind of honesty and objectivity that is essential in these situations. If a defendant is unaware or unwilling to face the realities of their case and the likely outcome based on the evidence, a competent legal professional can explain the potential outcomes of the various scenarios a defendant faces. If a client needs to be realistic about the benefits of some kind of plea bargain, their lawyer can help them to face this possibility and take them through the process.
Before going to court, there is much work to be done by the criminal law attorney to prepare the case. This could include hiring private investigators who will provide information necessary for a successful presentation of the client's case. These investigators might be able to find information that would cast doubt on the prosecutor's case, or impugn opposing witnesses. Among the myriad of duties that a defense attorney will perform are; arguing the case in court, questioning witnesses, presenting alternative sentences to the judge if the client is found guilty, searching out overlooked legal loopholes in the case, keeping an eye out for errors or omissions that might be useful if the case needs to be appealed, performing whatever tasks need to be done to pull the case together, and, if need be, working with appellate lawyers once the verdict has been rendered.
It is important to hire a skilled criminal defense lawyer who is familiar with the local legal system and legal professionals within the community. This knowledge of area procedures and customs is very important for a successful defense. A working relationship with representatives of opposing counsel can help both sides work together for the good of the client and for justice for the community. A knowledgeable defense lawyer will be able to explain such concepts to the client as reasonable doubt, presumption of innocence, self defense, and the importance of a solid alibi, the insanity defense, or entrapment. While no responsible legal professional would ever guarantee a specific outcome to a client, the knowledge, skills and expertise of a skilled criminal lawyer are invaluable.
A criminal law firm may be the only answer for someone caught in the web of law enforcement. Facing everything from DUI to treason, the accused will need a professional who knows her way around a courtroom. Attorneys do have a bad reputation but one is sitting in the defendant's chair, staring at what may appear to be a hostile jury, an expert barrister is as important as the next breath of air. A criminal law firm is lot like a cantaloupe; what one sees is not always what one gets, and so care must be taken in choosing one because reputation alone may not be the final need for a defendant. The place to start is with the crime for which one has been charged.
If a person has been charged with a misdemeanor, this is an offense of a lesser nature. In most cases it involves a fine, sometimes some time in a county jail and perhaps some community service. The jail times for a misdemeanor usually run from a few days to a few months, but often not for a first time offense. While a person's reputation may be harmed in just the filing of the charges, this is usually not of a nature that is life-threatening. In these cases, some defendants in misdemeanor cases may be more inclined to choose less expensive solo attorneys than one from a criminal law firm. It is not an across the board principle, but often solo criminal defense attorneys do not have the expense that legal firms will have. A group of attorneys must pay for administrative, paralegal, often advertising and investigatory help while the solo barrister may only have an administrative assistant.
Most legal experts advise not waiting to engage legal counsel in a serious criminal matter like a felony. Once a defendant has been read his Miranda rights, he need not speak another word to a police officer until first speaking with a member of a criminal law firm or solo defense attorney. But even in this situation, members of one's family, if they are involved in this circumstance, should do some careful choosing in getting the right lawyer for the situation. Cost will obviously be a factor in the decision for many defendants. Unfortunately, the American legal system has developed to the place where the poor cannot usually afford the most experienced and successful attorney from a well know criminal law firm. At times, an attorney from the public defender's office who is over worked and very much under paid is the lawyer of choice.
When questioning an attorney, one of the first questions ought to be the cost. The attorney will want to know all about the case to extract from the story her basic fee estimate. And while the defendant will want the finest counsel possible, the economics may not be on his side. Lawyers from a criminal law firm may often charge a flat fee, especially if the charge is not going to produce a lot of hours of prep and court time. On the other hand, a two or three week trial may involve extensive investigation ahead of time, and perhaps the use of expert witnesses may drive the cost of defense to stratospheric heights. In the initial inquiry with the attorney, ways of paying can be explored to ascertain if her costs are within reach. Questions about one's experience will also need to be asked.
Perhaps where the attorney went to school, her toughest case, what her mentor taught her about the practice of law could all be fair questions in the vetting process. After all, in the end when all is said and done, more important than money is the need for many defendants to know that their defender is really interested in the case. Of course, a criminal law firm that is hired may provide a cold hearted attorney that gets the defendant off, but for many accused there needs to be an emotional connection with the barrister that can provide a modicum of trust in her tactics. There are cold hearted attorneys who are successful, and there are more personable and caring ones that are just as successful so a person ought to choose the type of lawyer with whom one is most comfortable. Remember that attorneys have a state bar association where complaints about conduct and mismanagement of one's case can be filed. A phone call to the bar association once an attorney has been chosen is a good idea to pursue for final peace of mind.

MONTOUR TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- A woman is facing felony charges in Columbia County for her role in a deadly multi-vehicle crash.
Sarah Conrad of Bloomsburg was charged with homicide by vehicle for causing that chain reaction crash on Route 11.
Investigators say it was a four vehicle crash along Route 11 just outside Bloomsburg that claimed the life of 28-year-old Andrew Protsko and injured several others on December 20th, 2016.
Now a little more than a year later, investigators have charged driver Sarah Conrad for causing the chain reaction crash in Montour Township.
She's facing several charges including a felony charge of homicide by vehicle.
The deadly crash happened around 8:30 in the morning right near Vreeland`s Harley Davidson, just a few days before Christmas.
"A young woman, her life is certainly changed," said Patt Vreeland at Vreeland's Harley Davidson.
Vreeland remembers that day well.
She knew several of the victims, including the deceased.
"I think, to me and the fact that Andrew was very similar in age, they, both of them, and Andrew`s family is a wonderful family also," said Vreeland.
Court papers show Conrad had been speeding and texting at the time of the crash and didn`t realize traffic ahead of her had stopped for a school bus.
Police say she slammed into the back of Protsko's Buick going 70 miles per hour.
His Buick then hit a Dodge Ram, then spun out into oncoming traffic where it was hit again by a KIA.
Police say Erika Price was riding that KIA; she was 7 months pregnant.
And when medics arrived, they found her on the ground outside her vehicle screaming in pain.
Vreeland says thankfully the baby was ok, but Price wasn't so lucky.
"Erika is still in treatment for her back injury, yes," said Vreeland.
Conrad was released on $10,000 straight bail after her arraignment.
No one answered the door at her home in Bloomsburg.
Her neighbor says she doesn`t know her well but says this is sad for all involved.
"It`s a tough situation, no matter how you look at it, from both sides of it, it`s a tough situation," said neighbor Jenna Sharp.
"What a message to all of us, that we need to be aware and paying attention when we`re driving," said Sharp.
Once again, Sarah Conrad is out free on $10,000 unsecured bail.
Her next court appearance is scheduled for April 4th.
Until the law punishes cellphone users as harsh as a DUI, things will never change. Lock them up, revoke their license, fine them biggly, and invent a interlock system that will shut the vehicle down when cellphone use is detected within the vehicle.
Get off the damned cellphones.
Wow out on bail after killing someone and almost killing a few other people..that'll teach her, that will set a fine example..

Maybe. Based on the latest national consumer-sentiment survey by mortgage investor Fannie Mae, American consumers appear to think so. They are more positive about the overall direction of the housing market than they have been in nearly a year. Growing numbers think it's a good time to sell and a good time to buy. They expect their own personal financial situations will improve this year, and they believe that interest rates for home loans will continue to remain relatively affordable.
Housing and mortgage economists tend to agree. As Michael Fratantoni, chief economist of the Mortgage Bankers Association, told me: Six months ago, "I was guardedly optimistic. Now I'm just plain optimistic." Mark Fleming, chief economist of First American Title Insurance, said: "So far in 2019, we've seen mortgage rates decline and wages rise — both trends work to boost home-buying power and fuel greater market potential for home sales, setting the stage for a stronger than expected" season.
• Prices are still rising, but at a slower rate than in recent years past. The median home listing price hit $300,000 last month for the first time ever, a 7 percent jump over the previous year, according to Realtor.com. Fratantoni predicts price increases will moderate to an average of just 4 percent this year, 3 percent next year and 2.5 percent in 2021.
• A notable percentage of sellers' asking prices are being reduced. In the four weeks ending March 24, prices on nearly 21 percent of all listings nationwide were cut, according to Redfin, the real-estate brokerage. Just 16 percent of offers written by Redfin agents encountered bidding wars during the first three weeks of March, compared with 61 percent during the same weeks in 2018.
• Interest rates have been a great stimulus and are key to a strong spring. Lower rates are good for buyers, good for sellers. Last fall, average rates for a fixed-rate 30-year mortgage hovered near 5 percent, according to data from investor Freddie Mac. In the first week of April they averaged 4.08 percent. Homeowners and would-be buyers have responded enthusiastically to the lower rates, sending applications soaring by 18.6 percent during the week ending March 29 compared with the week earlier, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association.
• Inventories of available homes for sale continue to rise — meaning more choices for shoppers, according to National Association of Realtors researcher Michael Hyman. Listings nationwide were up by 3.2 percent year-over-year in February. That's generally a good sign for buyers because it helps keep price pressures down. But homes for sale in the primary entry segment for first-time home buyers — houses priced under $200,000 — dropped by 9 percent year-over-year, according to Realtor.com, while they grew by 11 percent in the upper price brackets over $750,000.
All this is well and good, says Issi Romem, chief economist for realty marketing and data site Trulia, but the reality is that the housing market is in cyclical slowdown mode. Inventories of available homes might be increasing, but part of the reason is that houses are staying on the market unsold for longer times in many areas. The price cuts and longer days-on-market times reveal that significant numbers of "sellers are facing greater difficulties in selling."

Tank football returns to World of Tanks for the World Cup
18th June 2018 / 11:09AM
The World Cup, I have been reliably informed, is very much going on at the moment, pitting nation against nation in a desperate battle to become Football King for the next four years. Normally, it's a humans-only sporting event, with FIFA banning animals, household appliances and even tanks from participating. Wargaming has corrected the latter, at least, by once again kicking off a summer of tank football in World of Tanks.
If you missed it the last time the World Cup took place, tank football is exactly how it sounds, unless you think it sounds like a bunch of footballers kicking a tank around. That would be silly. No, this is so much more sensible, with heavy metal war machines tearing up a pitch as they chase an oversized ball. It's Rocket League with tanks, basically.
Like real football, tank football is a three-a-side affair, lasts seven minutes and ends in sudden death if there are no winners when the timer ends. Unfortunately, you won't be able to bring your own tanks into the matches; instead Wargaming has made three mode-specific variants. There's an AMX 13 105 that fills the role of striker, a T-62A midfielder and an E-100 defender.
You can take part in solo and team tournaments, work your way up the leaderboards for the different tank roles and try to earn medals and some new looks for your tanks. If you reach the top of any leaderboard, you'll win yourself a football. It's not just any football, though! It's been vandalised by an Italian gentleman, Gianluigi Buffon, who is apparently quite good at football. That'll be worth a few quid on eBay, then.
World of Tanks also hit 1.0 earlier this year, accompanied by a massive graphics and engine overhaul. If you've not played since the last World Cup, you'll find that quite a bit has changed. Take a gander at my World of Tanks 1.0 review to see what's up.
Tank football is live now and you can download World of Tanks for free from the official site.

According to reports LG has improved on its manufacturing of display for the iPad 2 and return to previous levels after solving quality issues. The display panels' shipments had declined significantly to 2.5-2.6 million units in July from the previous monthly volume of about 4 million units due to problems with the backlight units which forced Apple to source more from Samsung and Chimei Innnolux (CMI).
Samsung shipped nearly 2 million units of iPad 2 panels in July while CMI's volume reached 4,50,000-5,00,000. LG's shipment of displays for the 9.7-inch iPad 2 panels has now went back up to 4 million units in August, and will stay at a similar level in September 2011, the sources added. The iPad 2 shipments are expected to reach 12-15 million units in third-quarter 2011, which is good news for suppliers and consumers.

Teachers, Nurses and Public Employees Back Patrice Granatosky for Groton Town Council
Groton — Citing her record of service and commitment to working families' issues, members of the nearly 30,000-strong AFT Connecticut are supporting Patrice Granatosky to continue serving on Groton's town council. The labor federation's executive committee voted to add the educator to its slate of endorsed municipal candidates for the November 7 General Election. Members of affiliated unions last month participated in a local community canvass and are engaged in additional efforts to help "get out the vote" for Granatosky.
"Patrice (right) has an impressive resume as an advocate both for her students and for her community," said AFT Connecticut President Jan Hochadel. "We are excited she is seeking to deepen her level of civic engagement and are proud to support someone so dedicated to demonstrating that 'labor is your neighbor'," added Hochadel, who previously taught physics and science in the Connecticut Technical High School System (CTHSS).
Candidates for municipal office completed questionnaires over the past three months on a series of policy issues important to the members of AFT's local unions and their communities. Members of the federation's legislative and political action committee reviewed the responses and made recommendations for endorsements in the 2017 General Election to its executive committee.
"As a town councilor, I will bring credibility with teachers and union members," said Granatosky. "My goal is to improve communication; to work cooperatively and respectfully. I am committed to protect our education system and work for all our kids in town," added Granatosky, a member of the AFT Connecticut-affiliated State Vocational Federation of Teachers (SVFT).
Granatosky currently teaches civics at Ella T. Grasso Technical High School in Groton where she spearheaded the Interact Club for students on campus, an effort recognized by the Groton Rotary. In addition to prior service on the town council, where she held her caucus' leadership post and chaired the Finance Committee, Granatosky served 10 terms on Groton's Regional Town Meeting (RTM). She was last year appointed to the Charter Revision Commission.
"A political endorsement is a decision we do not take lightly," added Hochadel. "Our members support candidates who have pledged to tackle the issues faced by working people. And we make sure any candidate we back understands that they will be held accountable once elected," Hochadel said.
AFT Connecticut represents approximately 30,000 hard-working women and men in PreK-12 education, healthcare, public service and higher education from more than 90 local unions throughout the state. For more information, visit www.aftct.org or follow the labor federation on Twitter at @AFTCT and on Facebook at AFT Connecticut.

This depends on your individual plan with your cell phone carrier. Some companies offer reasonable roaming plans. Others do not offer the service or do so at exorbitant rates.
If you have an unlocked phone with removable SIM card, you can purchase a prepaid SIM card at the airport or any ICE, Movistar or Claro office. These cards cost around $20 and are good for 250 minutes worth of calls within Costa Rica or approximately 65 minutes worth of international calls.


Imaging Central is an environmentally friendly and modern digital practice that has invested considerably in digital modalities and digital reporting stations and software, meaning that they are not reliant upon traditional film for diagnosis and reporting.
Imaging Central has also invested in considerable technologies to allow for the digital transmission of reports and electronic images directly to referring doctors practice management software programs, laptops, tablets and even smart phones.
This has meant that on most occasions you will leave the practice without an X-ray packet or report like you may be used to elsewhere.
Being digital has meant that patients do not need to wait in the practice for their films and images, nor return to collect them. Images and reports are available to referring doctors immediately after the radiologist has finished reporting, eliminating the delay that is intrinsic with a courier reliant workflow.
Film is still available for referrers that request it; however the processing of film is now digital and not reliant on the chemical processing known as wet processing.


It's been a long time since I've posted here, but I've been visiting the forum nonetheless. I can see we have a few newtrolls. Anywho, I remember making a few friends. Spanish_Dude, how are you; man? As I would like to proceed with HT planning I would love to open up a dialogue with you for advise (you seemed like a reasonable human being). I am considering the following docs: Jones, Hasson, Wong & Cole. (I would love to have Woods, but Australia is a bit too far for me). Out of those, which would you recommend? I am 28 and about a NW4. Just started finistride a month ago. I think I'll progress to an NW6. I have great body hair and great hair characteristics. Any thoughts? Also, Spanish_Dude, any recommendations in the way of adding meds?
» the way of adding meds?
You have to find Spanish dude in the HM forum altho lately I see a lot of HM guys posting here after the disappointing Intercytex news.
Steve, thank you for the info.
What are your goals? An age appropriate look that you can grow old with or a young hairline? Do you anticipate that one day you may want to buzz your hair short? How many procedures do you think you can handle in the next 5-10 years? Do you have a flexible budget?
» next 5-10 years? Do you have a flexible budget?
Money is not an object. My goal is to have Wassup like results, but I'm willing to have a bald spot in the back of my head. Just not on the front or top. I want a younger hairline. My hair characteristics are, I believe, about as desirable as you can hope for. The only problem is my schedule, not budget–but that can be dealt with. I'm willing to have 5-6 procedures in the next 5 years. I will try to upload some pics tonight. I have thick chest and back hair as well. I think with all of that I should be good for 10 years—at least------by then, I hope, HM will be reality.
Why did you wait till now to start finasteride? What else are you using besides finast?
First question: my stupidity; second, nothing. I took the pics, but I lost my usb cable for my camera, I'll have to borrow one to post pics today.
Hairsite posted some good questions but he left out the most important one, do you want strip or fue? That should be the #1 question.
» one, do you want strip or fue? That should be the #1 question.
I have the pics but they're jpegs, so it won't let me upload them. Any suggestions?
» » one, do you want strip or fue? That should be the #1 question.
You have to ask hairsite about the pictures, if you only want fue then you can forget about Hasson and Wong because they only do strips.
Is there a way I can send you the pics so you can convert and upload them?
» Is there a way I can send you the pics so you can convert and upload them?
The forum does allow JPEG pics. You simply click the UPLOAD button in your post and follow the instructions.
You can also email me the pictures at hairsite@aol.com and I will upload for you.
Either way is fine, whichever is easiest for you.

News flash, there are not that many wassups out there. For a NW4, unless you have great donor supply, you may be asking for the impossible. I am also a NW4 and I never once dreamt of having wassup's hair, not that I don't want it, I just don't have the donor for it.
If I were you, I would be worried about shock loss.
» If I were you, I would be worried about shock loss.
Is there a particular reason why I–and no one else–should be worried about shock loss? Isn't that a comment that could be made to anyone?
To have hair like wassup, you are going to need Armani, Hasson and Wong or Cole. I can't think of any other doctors who are able to do that.
» Cole. I can't think of any other doctors who are able to do that.
I believe that Hasson & Wong don't perform BHT… Right?
How many follicuar units do you believe you will need???
» » Cole. I can't think of any other doctors who are able to do that.
You are wrong about Cole, I think he creates the most natural hairlines for people of any age, from 20 years old up to people in their 60s, I have not seen one that is not natural.You don't have to go far, just take a look at the pics posted in this forum.

Tipbiler brugtes i begyndelsen mest til entreprenørkørsel med grus og sten til byggeri og anlæg samt jord, brokker og andet affald fra byggepladserne. I dag bruges tipfunktionen også flere andre steder, for eksempel på pulvertanke.

Tippet var en stor arbejdsmiljømæssig gevinst for chaufførerne, der nu stort set slap for at skulle skovle læsset af bilen. Samtidigt blev kørslen mere effektiv, da en aflæsning nu kunne klares på få minutter i stedet for måske at tage timer.

De første tipbiler fungerede ved at man med et håndsving og wiretræk løftede forenden af ladet. Senere udvikledes flere systemer, hvoraf hydrauliske stempler er den løsning der klart har haft størst succes på verdensplan.

Bagtip
Tipladet som det typisk ser ud i dag fungerer ved at en hængslet dobbeltramme monteres på lastbilens chassis. Den nederste ramme spændes fast til bilen med bolte, og den øverste ramme ligger ovenpå, fæstnet med hængsler i bagenden og styrebeslag i forenden. Beslagene skal sikre at ladet er stabilt under kørslen. Mellem de to rammer, eller mellem overrammen og chassiset monteres en eller flere tipcylindre (hydrauliske stempler), der enten løfter ladet direkte eller påvirker en slæde i et sæt skinner.

Trevejstip
Et trevejstip er en modifikation af bagtippet. Visse steder fandt man det fordelagtigt at læsset kunne tippes til siden i stedet for bagud, for eksempel ved aflæsning på et smalt sted hvor man ikke kunne komme på tværs af vejen, eller hvis godset skulle tippes i en rende. Det var dog sjældent man havde opgaver hvor det kunne svare sig at bilen kun kunne tippe til siden.

Hængslerne bagtil er udformet som dobbeltrettede hængsler, hvor sideretningen normalt er låst med en bolt. De fleste lad er udformet så bolten fra bagenden flyttes til styrebeslaget diagonalt overfor. Herved låses ladet fast i hele den ene side i stedet for i bagenden, og de samme løftecylinbdre kan så tippe ladet til siden i stedet for bagud. Dette kræver dog at tipcylinderen er monteret på et kugleled i top og bund.

Hvis kun en låsebolt eller slet ingen bolte er i indgreb når ladet forsøges tippet, vil ladet løfte sig hvor der er mindst påvirkning. Dette medfører normalt at tiprammen drejer eller forskydes til siden, hvorved der kan komme store skader på bil og lad samt alt hvad der befinder sig indenfor rækkevidde.

Højtip
Flere steder fandt man behov for at tippe til et punkt der var højere end køretøjets ladbund. Tidligere har man ikke besværet sig med dette problem, da man eksempelvis satte sække direkte fra bilen og over på en rampe, eller når grus eller korn skulle skovles over en kant en meter højere end ladbunden. Dette var almindelige forhold for chaufførerne, men da tippet blev opfundet, bemærkede man hurtigt hvor forholdsmæssigt besværligt det var de steder hvor det ikke kunne bruges.

Højtip til lastbiler bygges på tre måder, hvoraf den mest almindelige i princippet er to modsatrettede tiprammer. Her kan ladet tippes normalt, og hvis der er behov for højtip, kan bagenden af ladet løftes inden der tippes af. En anden måde er en såkaldt sakseopbygning af tipsystemet, hvor hængslede rammedele påvirker hinanden så et enkelt stempel kan løfte en flereledder opbygning. Den mest simple metode, som oftere ses i landbruget end i lastbilbranchen, er at ladet simpelthen hængsles i toppen i stedet for i bunden.
