Even a friend's published work is an unbelievable experience
The other day my girlfriend Emily Thornton Calvo picked me up from a doctor's appointment. My husband was leaving town so he could only drop me off. Both daughters were working. For some odd reason, Emily actually had an hour break in her otherwise insanely busy schedule. And this, mind you, is post treatment for both cancer and leukemia. Look no further than Emily for an example on how to live life past the fullest, making over-doing it look like a vacation scenario.
As we headed home, she reached into the backseat and handed IT to me. Her New Book! Lending Color to the Otherwise Absurd is a compilation of her insightful, eloquent poetry honed over decades of life-transforming experiences and more recent watercolor artwork, both of which present a sample of beautiful in the otherwise crazy world we inhabit. If you're a Poetry Slam supporter, you must know her work through her Sunday evening readings at the Green Mill Lounge. Her artwork is already so spot-on, she's had several successful art shows, too.
She'd been talking about putting the two together into a book for a while. Recently she revisited visual art through watercolors, and I am proud to have one of her masterpieces on my wall. Emily's no rookie, having already published two other books with a co-author, so she's well aware of the time and challenge of taking the traditional route to publish her latest creation.
Therefore, in 2014 when Emily applied for an individual Artists Program Grant from the City of Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs & Special Events and the Illinois Arts Council, it's really not that much of a leap to believe she won the grant. As a result, Lending Color to the Otherwise Absurd became her latest masterpiece within one year, self-published through the generous support of this Arts' program.
I held the book. I propped it up between the shift and dashboard to stare at it. Then I held it again, until we reached my front door. To know Emily is already a gift. To understand and access her vision of life in various stages is such a huge and special expression of the world that only her words within the pages of this book begin to articulate it.
I can only hope to one day have a book of my own, capturing so many universal truths, to share with others. This creates a standard tough to achieve, but still worth the effort. To journey through all the physical, emotional, wonderful and agonizing experiences my friend has conquered, and to capture them with such presence of mind, is a rare talent. As is Emily.
The book will be available in print and electronically on Amazon and on her website, emilycalvo.com, later in October. It's a holiday present no-brainer just as it's a must-have for anyone searching for some sanity in this otherwise crazy world we call home.
I'm so happy and proud of you, Emily. And so honored to call you my friend. Congratulations!
The G-Word
Hundreds of emotions rushed through me when my daughter announced she was pregnant with her first child. Her health, age, future, childbirth, anything a mom can fret about simmered within me throughout her pregnancy. The biggest surprise, though, was the difficult time I was having accepting the reality that I was old enough for grandparenthood.
If that doesn't prove "youth" is relative, I don't know what does. As if I couldn't have passed for a grandmother without my daughters having children. I'd already had practice. My stepson had three handsome kids of his own who I adore. I spent a great deal of time with the oldest when he was young, and it remains among my greatest experiences. Gus is the first little person I didn't give birth to who enjoyed being with me as much as I loved being with him. Nonetheless, he's a reminder my husband is older than me, and another Grandma rightfully ranks first in all their big hearts. Bottom line: I avoided the "I'm-a-grandma-now" reality check.
Daughter #2, Niece, Daughter #1, aka Mom, and Cait
Like the teenager who knows everything, I was an early-in-my-50's mom who still had much to learn but didn't think so when daughter #1 announced her daughter was due in September, 2007. I was abuzz with busy―baby showers, learning the latest in all things baby, and calling friends, most of who held their Grandma comments to themselves, although I could see the smirk in their eyes.
My daughter allowed me to be with her when Caitlin arrived. I was overwhelmed remembering all the love and happiness greeting my oldest when she was born. My parents and I spent years staring at her, awake or asleep. My youngest daughter, Caitlin's new aunt, joined us in the birthing room soon afterwards, and I remembered how excited my mom and dad were at her arrival, especially my dad who'd finally slowed down enough to revel in all things infant and toddler. Every mispronounced word worthy of a story, told repeatedly. Then in came my niece, and I relived the joy my grandmother, mom, dad, sister and I felt when she made her debut―the first girl born near enough to hover over since my birth.
I held Caitlin close for a few minutes, introducing her to these women whose blood she shares. I told her about the long line of strong women preceding her, a tribute to those who instilled a love so powerful that those remaining were present now. The notion of missing even the first few moments of this new life unthinkable to each of us who instantly became part of her story through no choice of her own.
Grandma and Cait
What an aha moment for this mom. Just when you think you've experienced all the great stuff in life―job promotions, marriage, rock star kids, beautiful homes, and even the significance of surviving the big 5-0―it's not a leap to believe any big, magical milestone moments might be behind you.
Silly, inexperienced me. It took a year before Cait could say "Gamma." Now that she's getting ready for 1st grade, she can pronounce, spell and read Grandma as her mother, aunt and great-aunt did before her. And, I learned that just when I thought there were no longer any more big life lessons left, being a grandmother is perhaps the most definitive life-affirming experience.
Caitlin and now her little brother multiple infinitely the profound love I felt when I gave birth to their mom. I don't think either my very tired and hard-working daughter and equally exhausted niece can process the concept of so much love. Nor can my youngest who will be a terrific mother after she ventures down the many paths still before her. They have plenty of time. But this mom, who's more motivated than ever to stay healthy to experience her baby's babies, too, alternately laughs and cries at that naïve 50-something woman who feared the thought of being called Grandma.
It's only when we stop learning new things every day that we genuinely have something to fear.
The Years Are Short
This is oh-so-true in many configurations. Thanks to Gretchen Rubin who knows more about happiness and how to savor it then most anyone else I've known. Her work has changed my outlook on life. Hope these 2-minutes give you a peek into her magic.
The last Sunday Sunset at Ragdale
Sunday Sunset at Ragdale.
As this three-week artist- and writer-in residence program at the Ragdale Retreat settles into the final stretch, I at last captured a sunset.
It happened on cue, just as I completed re-editing the first essay I wrote on arrival. And, just as I used up the last of the woodpile for the fireplace in this beautiful room.
Sunsets, fireplaces, scenes just like this are now on the list of my favorite things. If one can't draw inspiration here, I'm not sure where it might be.
I'm honored to be part of this community, and that it's the last week is bittersweet. I have new friends, and we share the common awe and appreciation of art. Words, music, images―they offer beauty to a world that's often hard and unpredictable. That's magic.
Next Sunday's sunset will look different, but I hope it occurs surrounded by family. Distance and time to reflect are reminders of how precious family is. Each one miraculous in his and her unique way.
What I know now: we all can create magic and miracles. What gifts. But like the sunset and the fire, these moments are fleeting. Take time to revel in them.

The violence comes home again
4 Oct, 2017 in Human Rights / Robert C. Koehler by PeaceVoice
"In the wake of the Las Vegas massacre, as in the wake of all the high-profile mass shootings that preceded it, the big question looms: Why?"
Published in: Truthout, Tribune Content Agency, Bainbridge Island Review, Common Dreams, Huffington Post, Common Wonders Blog, The Smirking Chimp, The Sunburg News, The Raven Foundation, Z Net
Date: October 4,5,7,16,18,2017
John Whitehead puts the question this way: "What is it about America that makes violence our nation's calling card?"
This is the enormous question — you might call it the $700 billion question, which is the size of the 2018 military budget recently approved by the Senate — that most media and law enforcement personnel do not ask or acknowledge, as they search for clues about the motive behind Stephen Paddock's rampage on the night of Oct. 1 amid the scattered wreckage of the killer's life.
He was a "lone wolf." He was a "psychopath."
He was an American.
And he was in possession, in his various dwelling places, of 47 firearms, some of which were used to kill at least 59 people and injure more than 500 others as they attended a country music concert. And some of these firearms were modified by "bump stocks," a cheap, legal device that allows a semiautomatic rifle to fire like an automatic.
Whitehead puts the answer out there with terrifying clarity: "Perhaps there's no single one factor to blame for this gun violence. However, there is a common denominator, and that is a war-drenched, violence-imbued, profit-driven military industrial complex that has invaded almost every aspect of our lives."
This is America, a global empire engaged in endless war, with an entertainment and news media that sells violence as a spectator sport and a consequence-free solution to pretty much every problem you can think of. We believe in having enemies — not in a personal sense but in the abstract: people who are different in some defining way and symbolize, in their differentness, the cause of our troubles. In other words, we dehumanize. We call people gooks or ragheads or . . . we all know the list of obscenities, past and present.
Sociologist Peter Turchin, in the wake of the Sandy Hook killings nearly five years ago, wrote: "On the battlefield, you are supposed to try to kill a person whom you've never met before. You are not trying to kill this particular person, you are shooting because he is wearing the enemy uniform. . . . Enemy soldiers are socially substitutable."
And mass murderers behave the same way as soldiers, except the "orders" they are obeying are their own or those of some marginal hate-community. The defining characteristic of mass murder is not that it's senseless or random, but that, to the murderer, the victims symbolize evil. This sort of behavior, in other circumstances, is publicly celebrated. Suddenly, for instance, I'm thinking about the outpouring of praise Donald Trump generated from much of the media when the U.S. dropped a MOAB bomb — the most powerful non-nuclear bomb in the American arsenal — on Afghanistan. Some commentators declared that he became "presidential" after this action. The poor slobs who died because of it couldn't have mattered less to the cheering spectators.
And a serious segment of the national economy depends on the continual flow of enemies and their elimination. It depends on selling weapons.
For instance, William Hartung, director of the Arms and Security Project at the Center for International Policy, pointed out in a recent Democracy Now! interview that the Trump administration has eliminated human-rights restrictions on small-arms exports, putting them under the control of the Commerce Department rather than the State Department, as well as "restrictions on fighter planes and bombs and the large weapons, the kind that are being used by Saudi Arabia to kill civilians in Yemen."
Remarkably, domestic gun sales had slumped after Trump's election — gun owners apparently became less fearful that the government would take their weapons away — so "gun manufacturers are desperate for more foreign sales. And they don't care who the guns go to," Hartung said. "And I think that's really the problem."
He concluded by quoting Martin Luther King's speech against the Vietnam War: "I can't in good conscience fight violence at home if I don't stand up to my own government, which is the greatest purveyor of violence around the world."
Only in this context does it become relevant to talk about gun control legislation. By themselves, such basic regulations as universal background checks, a reinstating of the assault-weapons ban and required permits for gun ownership feel like a frail wall against American violence and the ease with which the next "lone wolf" can plan his assault.
Indeed, gun control laws are basically just stopgap measures perpetually debated by a violence-addicted society. They swell in significance because they're so viciously opposed by the NRA. I'm not against them, but they're not enough.
"And I awoke Monday hoping that maybe this shooting is the one that will persuade America to reclaim the mantle of global leadership that has been at our core since our origin," Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy wrote in the Washington Post the day after the Las Vegas massacre, calling for sane gun control legislation.
Yes, this is crucial. But I can't help but note that Murphy was one of the 89 senators, including, of course, most Democrats, who voted last month for the 2018 National Defense Authorization Act, bestowing $700 billion on the U.S. military next year, an increase of $80 billion, which is even more than the Pentagon or Trump requested.
"Mass shootings," Murphy acknowledged, "happen almost nowhere else but the United States."
This is not because of tepid gun laws. It's because the country funds — and benefits from — endless war and violence of all sorts. Occasionally the violence comes back to haunt us.

Southwold U16's Rugby Club squad.
Southwold U16's have been competing in the Suffolk Plate Competition over the last few months and Sunday saw the final game in the competition. They played some wonderful rugby and worked hard for each other to win 40-7. As they had won all their previous games this meant they had won the overall Suffolk Plate Competition.
This is a huge achievement for this group who have struggled for numbers, and grown from 4 players 5 years ago to a squad of 18 for the first time this season. This group have had to play up for the last 4 years and have only been able to play a few matches in their own age group over the last 2 years with the support of players from the age group below. It was an emotional day for the coaches who took these boys under their wing and a well deserved outcome for a talented group of players.

I was able to do some prep work and take a lesson at Juilliard this week. What an amazing place! I always feel so inspired whenever I have the opportunity to train here. I hope someday to get to study here!
The part of the year I REALLY look forward to is when my brother and I go to camp! We love getting away and having fun at French Woods. Besides getting to train and work on a show and my guitar, I get to have fun doing my other favorite activities - skate park and DJ-ing. This summer I had such a blast playing tabloid reporter Eddie Flagrante in "Zombie Prom" (to see a video clip, Click Here) and I also volunteered as a CIT in the DJ studio. I made some really great friends who I am staying in touch with over the winter. I cannot wait to get back there next summer!
Summer is a great time to do more intensive training while making new friends. One of the very best programs in the world for theater training for actors is at the Broadway Artists Alliance (BAA). Last year and this year I spent two amazing weeks with the BAA team, training with current Broadway actors, casting directors, choreographers, coaches and other amazing and talented industry people. The first week I trained in voice; the second week I trained in acting. This year I made the most amazing friends from all over the US and we still talk almost every day! I was so honored this year to lead the 10-14 group as Willy Wonka in the group industry showcase. I had such an amazing time!!!
My amazing BAA group! Miss you guys!!
While the winter has been busy, spring is always a great time to get a little bit busier and schedule some workshops. You get to meet other kids who love to do the same things as you, and you get amazing feedback from some of the best pros in the industry. Recently I attended two wonderful workshops: the first was run by the incredible coaches Badiene Magaziner (voice) and Denise Simon (acting), followed by a mock audition with the awesome casting director, Jay Binder; the second was an ATNY workshop based on the the "The Voice", where we sang for five amazing theater casting directors, who would turn around for you only if they were interested in you....exciting but a little nerve-wracking...thrilled that I got 4 out of 5! :) That workshop was also attended by two veterans of American Idol, who sang for us. The song sung by former American Idol and Voice contest and Jon Peter Lewis was from his upcoming show, the rock opera "Deep Love" and was absolutely incredible!
What can possibly beat a short film shoot? A short film shoot with a friend! One of my acting classes offered short film shooting for actor's reels, and lucky enough I was paired up with my friend Ben, who is an AMAZING drummer in my rock band! While the shoot ran late - on a school night, of course - we had a blast!

Thumbs-up for Alaskan mine draws fire
Science Magazine - Edited by Jeffrey Brainard
The area of the mine in question. Photo by Erin McKittrick
A company seeking to build a controversial gold and copper mine in Alaska won a major victory on 24 July when the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued an environmental analysis saying the mine wouldn't endanger the world's most productive sockeye salmon fishery. The decision clears the way for the Corps to issue permits needed by promoters of the Pebble Mine, located at the headwaters of two major watersheds that form part of the Bristol Bay salmon runs, just north of the Aleutian Islands.
Environmental and Native Alaskan groups and some salmon scientists blasted the new study, saying it understated risks by focusing on the mine's small, initial footprint over 20 years of mining rather than its potential impacts if it expands to become one of the world's largest gold and copper mines, as its promoters hope. Mine backers have said such an expansion would get a closer environmental review later if they pursue it. Scientists have raised concerns that even the smaller mine could have wide impacts, because the resilience of the salmon runs hinges on access to a wide variety of spawning habitats. Environmental groups have vowed to file lawsuits to block the project.
PinP said…
So now the Army Corp of Engineers is an expert on aquatic life! Yet another affront to what's left of Mother Earth!
The Government of Manitoba robs its rural citizens of their local autonomy to serve its political friends and big business. (Opinion)
by Larry Powell The Premier of Manitoba, Brian Pallister. A Gov't. photo. The lengths to which the Pallister government is going to enable the unfettered exploitation of Manitoba's resources and massive expansion of its hog industry, should now be clear for all to see. For the past few years, it's been rolling out, at significant taxpayer expense, the truly draconian measures it's now taking, to make this happen. While the writing has been on the wall, only now are the worst fears being realized. They expose this government' naked contempt for the democratic rights of rural Manitobans who have the audacity to point out that these goals are misguided - that the emperor has no clothes. Late last year, the Municipality of Rosser, near Winnipeg, rejected a bid for a gravel mine (euphemistically called a limestone aggregate quarry). The politically well-connected owner of the construction company proposing the mine (who made a substantial contribution to the Conservative P
Manitoba's Decker Hutterite Colony says, several dead hogs spotted recently on a public roadway, nearby, died of natural causes.
by Larry Powell Hog carcasses in two dumpsters on a side road near the Decker Colony, northwest of Brandon, Apr. 24th. I spotted these carcasses on April 24th. My initial attempts to phone the colony, to find out more about what happened, failed. Today, the Colony's Barn Manager, David Waldner, called me back (May 6th). He says the hogs died of natural causes, not disease. In his words, "Hogs die." Sometimes one gets a broken leg, for example, and has to be put down. But most of the animals in the dumpsters, were what he calls "standard mortalities," not the result of disease. He says the company which picks up the carcasses, usually comes about once a week. But, due to mechanical issues, it was delayed. As a result, they sat there for longer than normal. Because of that, he explains, the bodies were bloated. And this likely makes it appear as if there are more than the 20 which he estimates were in the dumpsters. Waldner says he "abs
Some Canadian hog producers are euthanizing their own pigs because Covid-19 has rendered them almost worthless. Is it happening in Manitoba, too?
by Larry Powell According to the farm newspaper, the Western Producer, some Canadian producers are killing their own hog stocks and disposing of them, without putting them on the market. Many meat-plant workers have been infected with Covid-19 and several packing plants in Canada and the U.S. have closed, as a result. Packers are therefore not accepting as many hogs as before and supplies are backing up throughout the production chain.Piglets normally raised in Canada and sold to finishing operations in the 'States are said to be worthless. These carcasses were spotted on a side road not far from the Decker Hutterite Colony. Photos by PinP. News reports suggest, only animals in eastern Canada are known to have been euthanized, so far. However, I spotted and photographed two large dumpsters filled with the carcasses of mature hogs two days ago (see above). They were near the Decker Hutterite Colony in southwestern Manitoba, site of a major hog producing o

Aviate, navigate, communicate: it's not just for pilots.
Abe Lincoln apparently said "If you give me six hours to chop down a tree, I'll spend the first four sharpening my axe". He was lucky. Trees just sit around, waiting for you to cut them down. Running a modern small business is more like flying a plane than carving up forests, and if you spend four hours doing nothing, you'll plow into a mountain.
If anything defines this role, it's the constant conflict between flying the plane - operating the systems you have, right now, to stay in the air - and building it. Even a few moments spent improving processes has a huge long-term payoff, like compound interest, but only if you can spare those moments without becoming a plane-shaped indentation in the landscape. Cash is altitude. Revenue is thrust. Everything is a tradeoff.
So that's how I order my to-do list. First, aviate: is there a business-critical event (like a foggy mountaintop) about to hit us? Then, navigate: are we headed the right way? Finally, communicate: who can I usefully train, so that they can do more of the first two?
Really, this is just another way of thinking about levels of abstraction. But I've heard the 'axe' line a few times, and I'm tired of it. The axeman knows how much time he has.

Iggy Pop Hopes to Live to 80 to 'Spite' His Haters
Neilson Barnard, Getty Images
Iggy Pop said he hoped to live until at least the age of 80 in order to "spite" his haters, and added that he believed bets were being taken on when he's going to die.
The 72-year-old is set to release his 18th studio album, Free, on Sept. 8. He took the opportunity to argue that it's important to maintain quality in an artist's output.
"It's gotta be fucking good," Pop told The New Yorker in a new interview. "This is what you've sacrificed a lot of things for, dude, and this is what you were doing when you weren't always there for other people, so it'd better be good."
As the only surviving member of the Stooges, Pop noted that the death of his former bandmates made an "impression" on him. "You start to think, Well, okay, what are my probabilities?" he said. "And how would I feel if I was going to die tomorrow, and I looked at what I was doing with my life today? My only thing is, to spite those who don't like me, I want to make 80."
He doubts he'll retire before the end, however. "I always wonder, if I stopped doing music, would I really start drinking tea instead of coffee, and, you know, brush my teeth more, and all that?" he reflected. "Or would I become, like, an alcoholic depressive?... I think there's some sort of betting pool out there on when I'm gonna croak."
Meanwhile, Pop revealed that his pre-performance routine takes up to nine hours. "I wake up, cup of coffee, stay in bed, clear my mind, don't think about the show," he said. "I'm not going to talk to anybody about anything. Three hours before, I lie down on the floor and do something called wu chi breathing, where I breathe very deep into my gut for almost a half hour. I'm a little high, but not dizzy, and my voice has widened. Then I lightly visualize for about an hour. I hit my cues – there's certain blocking to remember, like in a play. Maybe you find one little thing that you can improve, but you're not desperate about it.
"Then I do Qigong, which loosens up my bod. My bod gets tight. I'm a little gnarly. Then I take a hot shower and I turn it all the way cold. And then they pick me up, and take me where I'm going, and I sit there for a couple of hours, and I realize where I am and what I've got to do."

Democracy and its Trade-off: Ethiopia's Path to National Reconciliation – Messay Kebede, PhD
Messay Kebede, PhD
In many of my previous articles, even as Meles Zenawi was in absolute control of the country, I have defined the creation of a government of national reconciliation as the best roadmap both for the easing of some of Ethiopia's socio-economic problems and initiating the construction of a democratic future. My assumption was then that Ethiopia could benefit from Meles's dream of grandeur: had he taken the initiative of creating a genuine government of reconciliation, he would have marked history in a way similar to Nelson Mandela. The purpose of this article is to confirm that the proposal is still relevant.
Before I go further, there is one basic hurdle that needs to be removed. Every time I propose a government of national reconciliation, I face two different objections. Some pity my naivety and demolish my proposal with a heavy blow of realism by asking, why would the ruling elite invite the opposition parties when it feels strong in the face of a weak and divided opposition? Others tell me that my position does no more than side with the ruling party by throwing cold water on the struggle to remove the EPRDF which, they say, is beyond redemption.
Parties and groups advocating and actually carrying out armed struggle to dislodge the ruling party are entitled to ridicule my proposal. Their rejection is in perfect accord with their view of the TPLF as a party fundamentally hostile to Ethiopia's interests. However, those parties and groups that champion non-violent form of struggle should refrain from adopting the same stand. Most of them work with the belief that democratic elections are the only means to bring about real change in Ethiopia. As a result, they expect the EPRDF to hand over power in the case they win the majority of parliamentary seats.
This expectation is, for me, the apex of political gullibility: there is nothing more unlikely than a party as sectarian, suspicious, and panicky as the TPLF surrendering power peacefully. The best that elections can achieve, in the remote case that they are relative democratic, is the possibility for the opposition to participate in political life as a minority party. If election cannot achieve the removal of the ruling party, then my proposal looks rational and realistic for the reason that it is a win-win alternative that ruling elite and opposition parties can bring to life with a little dose of realism and good faith.
Consider for one moment the political situation in today's Ethiopia. It is ruled by an incompetent, mediocre, self-serving, and divided group. For a short time, I speculated together with other observers that Haile Mariam Dessalegn may try to implement a less repressive policy providing the opposition with some space for political expression. In effect, we saw some signs of reduced repression, for example the lifting of the ban on political demonstrations. We expected the next logical step, which should have been the freeing of unjustly jailed political prisoners. This next step did not come about; instead, the new prime minister saw his power curtailed by the unconstitutional addition of two deputy prime ministers whose obvious assignment is to make sure that decisions never divert from the wishes of the hegemonic party, namely, the TPLF. Though divided around different personalities, the TPLF still shows a remarkable determination to retain its hegemonic position at all costs. Consequently, even the baby steps toward relaxing repression are now reversed under various lame excuses. The outcome is a government without vision whose main purpose is to maintain the status quo through a weakened prime minister. I see no other reason for the violation of the constitution by the addition of deputy prime ministers than the fact that the new prime minister is not Tigrean.
The situation can only be described as a deadlock; it is moving neither forward nor backward. The only thing that can happen in a stalemate is a steady deterioration of the situation, with more and more Ethiopians becoming alienated and angry. Despite its illusion, this mediocre government, whose only expertise is corruption and repression, cannot stop this deterioration by itself. Deepening crises and finally popular uprisings are inevitable. And yet, though I energetically oppose the present government, I do not wish for the explosion of a generalized uprising. Not only I fear chaos, but also I am not convinced that the overthrow of this government will bring about democracy.
What I see, on the contrary, is either an uncontrollable irruption of violent social unrests exasperated by the government's bloody repression or another form of dictatorship and revengeful policy against members of the ruling elites, their protégés, and those people perceived as ethnic foes, in the case where the present government collapses. I just don't picture how democracy can come into being and grow on a soil poisoned by so much hostility, mutual suspicion, and exasperated ethnic divisions––some exhibiting secessionist tendencies––not to mention the abyssal divide between the haves and the have-nots. To direct this perilous situation toward a democratic process, Ethiopia needs a leader of the stature of Mandela, a condition that cannot be fulfilled any time soon.
The coming elections, some might say, could be a way out. Such is actually the expectations of all those opposing parties that have accepted the constitution and a non-violent approach. Unfortunately, even if the opposition does well in elections, the outcome will be a repeat of the 2005 election. I cannot picture the ruling party conceding even a modest place for the opposition in a political atmosphere where any gain of the opposition, however small, is perceived as having ominous consequences for the ruling elites. Let us not forget that what unites members of the ruling party is not shared appreciation, but survival, which is their only goal. So long as the ruling party is terrified by the prospect of losing power because it believes that the loss would certainly translate into a campaign of revenge and repression, this party cannot be expected to play fair in elections.
If popular uprisings or violent overthrow of the government are undesirable and elections are ineffective and if, on the other hand, there is a stalemate, what is then the way out? We must take here the bull by the horns and find a solution with a win-win outcome. I believe the formation of a government of national reconciliation to be such solution. It means a political arrangement in which the ruling party and the opposition parties participate, it is true unequally, in the same government. Obviously, the solution is not an ideal one, but it has the advantage of being affordable and, more importantly, of warding off dreadful consequences for everybody.
To the question of why it is the affordable solution, my answer has various facets. The one facet is that my proposal is logical or rational in that it is the only path that guarantees a win-win outcome for everybody. The process initiates a situation where the ruling elite is protected from all revengeful policy because it retains an appreciable power and the opposition can pressure for a change of policy that eases the glaring mistakes of the regime. In particular, the opposition gains the opportunity to freely organize without fear of repression. Because power is shared, it cannot be used to eliminate opponents. I add that there is no other way for the components of the EPRDF to lift the burden of the TPLF hegemony than to call for a government of reconciliation. The presence of opposition parties will force the TPLF to be more attentive to their viewpoints in order to prevail: their support becomes crucial and hence negotiable.
Doubtless, attempts to create governments in which ruling and opposition parties work together have failed in many countries. The reason seems obvious to me: many of these attempts were either imposed by patron countries or the existing government was in a weak position and needed to buy time to regain strength. The recent remarkable achievement of Tunisia confirms that a genuine willingness to include the opposition is the only way of moving toward a democratic path. After a bumpy road marred by assassination of opposition leaders followed by massive protests, the Tunisian prime minister announced the formation of a new government of technocrats. The decision was a clear concession to the secular and leftist oppositions whose main demand was the change of the pro-Islamist dominated government. This momentous concession led to the signing of a new constitution committed to a secular state and guaranteeing basic freedom and gender equality. "The constitution," the assembly speaker said, "without being perfect, is one of consensus." Contrast this outcome with that of Egypt: the refusal of the Morsi government to include the opposition in the political process despite large and violent protests demanding unity government only led to the ousting of the Islamist government by the military, which is but a serious setback in the democratization process.
Two major lessons can be drawn from the Tunisian experience. 1) There is no democracy without compromise with the opposition. The Leninist version still practiced by many African countries, including Ethiopia, and according to which democracy is the violent silencing of the "enemies of the people," is diametrically opposed to the simple fact that democracy means the acceptance of participation in the political system of all those who have different programs from the ruling party. This same requirement applies to the opposition as well: opposing the government cannot mean the political exclusion of the ruling party by means of election or armed struggle under pain of adopting the Leninist version of democracy. 2) In the case of Ethiopia, which is entangled in the far more serious ethnic embroglios, the feasible solution is a government of national reconciliation, which government only works under the condition that all those concerned and especially the TPLF make the necessary concessions by themselves, that is, without external intervention. If it is imposed or accepted reluctantly, it will undoubtedly fail. As attested by the Tunisian case, the willingness to make it work must be equally present in all the parties. By will I understand a strong commitment emanating from well-thought out interests by all concerned, especially long–term interests. Simply put, it is a choice between dictatorial power––the severe downsides of which are blockage of development in all aspects of life and uncertainty with the constant danger of popular rebellion––and democracy with the promises of stability and the unleashing of the creative forces of the country. That is why I say it is a rational position.
I add that, on top of securing protection against revengeful policy, the TPLF can find another opportunity, no more to rule Ethiopia exclusively, but to become the patron of its democratization, a role that can be construed as a corrected continuation of the sacrifices paid to defeat the Derg. The perception by the people of the TPLF as a patron and protector of democracy is not only how it dissolves the popular resentment accumulated during two decades of repressive policy, but also how it acquires authority, as distinct from brute force, which authority can easily be used to build popular support within and outside Tigray.
A government of national reconciliation is by definition transitional; its main task is to create mutual confidence, realize some common goals achieved through consensus, define clearly the duties and rights of all participants, and ensure their protection by established institutions. Moreover, each time the government stumbles against a contentious issue that seems irreconcilable, it refrains from making any final decision. Instead, it agrees to put the matter to a popular vote as soon as conditions for fair debates and voting permit. How long this government of national reconciliation will last should also be a matter of agreement.
It follows that the immediate task of the government is not to organize elections; rather, it is to prepare the conditions of fair elections. To rush to elections without establishing the appropriate condition, especially the creation of an atmosphere of mutual confidence, is to invite the fear of "winner-take-all." Elections must be organized only when all involved feel confident enough to no longer fear repression and revenge and when the country shows some sign of real development, not only for the few, but also for the many so that people see what is at stake when they cast their vote. The purpose of reconciliation is to create the hope for a better future for all involved and to get out of the present system in which the gains of some are built on the mistreatment of others.

California Privacy Law (CCPA) | CCPA Compliance With Cookiebot CMP
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) may affect how your website is allowed to handle the personal information of Californians.
Try our free website scan to see how your website tracks and handles personal information.
Updated November 30, 2020.
California was one of the first states in the US to enshrine privacy as an "inalienable right" of all people, when it amended its constitution in 1972.
On January 1, 2020, California became the first state to enact a data privacy law that will empower its residents with ownership over their personal information and change the way companies handle personal information across the United States and the rest of the world.
As California goes, so goes the nation, so let's have a look at the new California privacy law and its consequences.
What does it mean for your company and your website? How can you become compliant? And what are the differences between it and the European GDPR?
California's privacy law
According to a recent survey by Pew Research Center, a majority of Americans believe it to be impossible to go through daily life without having their data collected.
The survey was conducted with participation of more than 4,000 people over the summer of 2019.
81 percent of the American public feel that the potential risks they face because of data collection outweigh the benefits, and 79 percent feel concerned about the way their data is being used by companies.
Three out of four Americans, the survey also showed, want more power over their own data, and believe there should be more regulation around how companies handle data.
CCPA privacy: California is becoming the frontier of US data privacy law.
As the first state in the nation, California has enacted a data privacy law, the CCPA, that effectively moves the legal reality of digital privacy closer to the peoples' wishes for more control over their own data and more regulatory supervision of the tech companies handling that data.
The new California privacy law (CCPA) might very well become the de facto standard for data rights across the US, not only because it is the very first of its kind in the country, but because California is the largest state in the US with forty million residents, and, if it was its own country, would be the fifth largest economy in the world.
A business in, say, Wyoming or Vermont will be required to comply with the CCPA if it buys, receives, sells, or shares the personal information of at least 50,000 California residents, households or devices annually.
The impact of this requirement means that a lot of US companies will have to seek compliance with the new California privacy law, even if they are located outside of California.
In fact, the impact of the new California privacy act will also be felt globally – since the same requirements for compliance will be forced upon companies in Europe or Asia, if they fall under the definition of a business in the CCPA.
For more on the CCPA and how it came to pass as California state law, take a look at our CCPA long-read here.

The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA)
In the General Election on November 3, 2020, a majority of California residents voted to pass into the new California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).
The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) is an addendum to the CCPA and expands data privacy rights for consumers, tightens requirements for businesses collecting and sharing personal information and creates a new government agency to enforce California's privacy laws.
The California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) took full effect on January 1, 2023 and full enforcement will begin in July 2023. However, the CPRA has a 12-month look-back period, which means that data collected and shared from January 2022 is liable under the CPRA.

Consumer protection under the California privacy law
The California privacy act (CCPA) sets up a legal framework, whereby California residents can claim ownership of their data. It also requires companies who do business in California to provide users with easy ways of exercising their newly created data rights.
However, there are certain definitions in the law that both individuals and companies must fall under in order for the California privacy law to apply.
Let's have a look at them now.
New consumer rights under the California privacy law
Among the rights that the California privacy law empowers state residents with are the right to opt-out of having one's personal information sold to third parties, the right to disclosure of what personal information has been collected in the past 12 months, and the right to deletion of that data.
Failure to comply can result is fines of $7,500 per violation and $750 per affected user in civil damages for businesses.
Who is protected by the California privacy act?
To be protected by the California data law, a consumer must be a natural person who is either in the state for other than a temporary purpose or who is domiciled in the state, but temporarily outside of the state (e.g. on vacation or business trip).
The new California privacy act protects only California residents.
Individuals who are simply passing through, on a brief rest or vacation, in the state to complete a particular transaction or perform a particular contract are deemed to be in the state for temporary or transitory purposes and will not fall under the California privacy law as a consumer, and hence not protected by the CCPA.
It is not enough to simply be located in the state when having one's data collected by a business (e.g. tourists vacationing in the state).
Read our compliance guide for California data privacy.
California privacy law's definition of personal information
The new California data law (CCPA) defines personal information as "information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer or household."
Personal information can include:
Identifiers such as real name, alias, postal address, social security numbers, driver's license and passport information.
Identifiers such as cookies, beacons, pixel tags, telephone numbers, IP addresses, account names…
Biometric data such as face, retina, fingerprints, DNA, voice recordings, health data…
Geolocation data such as location history via devices,
Internet activity such as browsing history,
Sensitive information such as personal characteristics, behavior, religious or political convictions, sexual preferences and so on.
What does the CCPA say about cookies in detail?
Even data that is not by definition personal information might fall under the category, if it can be inferred to create profiles that reflect a consumer's "preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, preferences, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities and aptitudes."
The new California privacy law effectively creates a whole new way of viewing data in the US.
Business compliance with the California privacy law
Enforcement of the CCPA began in August 2020, with the approval of the final CCPA regulations.
If you haven't already made your website compliant, now is the time to take action.
Learn more about the final CCPA regulations
To be regarded as a business under the CCPA rules, a company has to meet one of the three following attributes:
have an annual gross revenue exceeding $25 million,
derive 50% or more of its annual revenues from selling consumers' personal information,
buy, receive, sell, or share the personal information of 50,000 or more California residents, households or devices a year.
CCPA privacy: California is the frontier of US data privacy law.
If your company seeks compliance with the California privacy law, this checklist will run you through the basic requirements necessary.
Take a look at the official California privacy law (CCPA) text here.
Here is a non-exhaustive CCPA compliance checklist to inform you of some of the key requirements.
Businesses must feature a Do Not Sell My Personal Information link on their website that users can use to opt-out of third-party data sales.
Businesses must provide a notice at or before the point of collection informing the consumer of the categories of personal information that the company collects and for what purpose.
Businesses must respond to an opt-out request within 15 days by stopping further selling and notifying all parties to whom it has sold the personal information in the previous 90 days.
Businesses must obtain the opt-in consent from consumers age 13 to 16 before selling their personal information, and obtain the opt-in consent from parents or legal guardians on consumers under the age of 13.
Businesses must provide consumers for free the records of personal information collected in the past 12 months (including sources, commercial purposes and categories of third parties with whom it has been shared) if a consumer requests disclosure or deletion.
Businesses must respond within 10 days of receiving requests for disclosure or deletion with information on how the request will be processed. Substantive responses must be given to the consumer within 45 days of receiving a verified request.
Businesses must include two steps for a deletion request, whereby the consumer can submit the request and subsequently agree to the personal information to be deleted.
Businesses must only offer financial incentives (e.g. different prices, rates and quality) for goods and services if the differences are reasonably related to the value provided to the business by the consumer's data.
Businesses must refrain from discriminating based on a consumer's choice to exercise their rights.

California privacy law and the GDPR
When comparing the California privacy law (CCPA) to the European data regulation (GDPR), it becomes clear that though there are similar intentions and provisions, the two data privacy laws are very different.
Where the European GDPR protects anyone in the EU, the CCPA only protects California residents.
It is not enough to be located in the state at the time of collection or processing, according to the new California privacy law, you must have a permanent residency in the state in order to be protected.
The GDPR is focused on creating a "privacy by default" legal framework for the entire EU, whereas the CCPA is about creating transparency in California's huge data economy and rights for its consumers.
For more, take a look at our comprehensive CCPA vs GDPR comparison.
Summary: what does the California privacy law mean for me?
If you have a company that falls under the CCPA privacy definition of a business, you are obligated to obtain compliance with the California privacy law, regardless of where in the world your company is based.

Eastbourne is the most popular Sussex town for Londoners to relocate in 2020
Almost 74,000 Londoners left the city this year during the pandemic, and many opted to move to Eastbourne

Eastbourne has been named the most popular Sussex place for Londoners to relocate to in 2020.
A new study from estate agents Hamptons showed that an estimated 73,950 homes were bought outside the capital by Londoners looking to move away.
It's the highest total in four years, and is expected to be a result of the coronavirus pandemic forcing many to work from home for most of the year, reports the MirrorOnline.
Eastbourne beat out the rest of the county, including the city of Brighton and Hove, to be the Sussex area with the biggest increase in the share of homes bought by Londoners this year.
The East Sussex seaside town also came fifth overall for locations those in the capital relocated to in 2020.
The locations with the biggest increases in the share of homes bought by Londoners this year overall are, in order, Sevenoaks, Windsor and Maidenhead, Oxford, Rushmoor, Eastbourne, Wokingham, Stevenage, Luton, Epsom and Ewell, Brighton and Hove, Gravesham, and Watford.
The sudden surge of Londoners leaving the capital is thought to be partly down to a change in working arrangements during the coronavirus pandemic, with many people now realising they are able to work from home.
Hamptons' research showed that the average London leaver spent £372,860 on their home outside the capital.

On average, Londoners who sold up in order to buy outside the city moved 41 miles and first-time buyers stayed closer to the capital, on average only moving 26 miles away.
Aneisha Beveridge, head of research at Hamptons, said: "Despite Covid-19 closing the housing market for seven weeks, the number of homes bought by Londoners outside the capital has risen to the highest level in four years.
"While leaving London has been a rite of passage for many - often families reaching life stage milestones - the effects of lockdown and the desire for space seems to have heightened this drift.
"Meanwhile, the lure of a stamp duty holiday acted as an impetus for more buyers to bring future planned moves forward.
"The prospect of home-working more regularly has also meant that London leavers are moving further than ever before. The average London leaver moved 10 miles further than in 2019 as buyers favour space over commutability.
"We expect this outmigration trend to continue into the first half of next year too."
She added: "Given the housing market has been anything but normal since the onset of Covid, we expect to see the total number of homes bought by London leavers next year hit 2016 levels."
It's no surprise many are choosing Eastbourne as their new hometown of choice, with the chance to be by the sea.

There's something for everyone in Eastbourne, from the obvious of living by the coast to having natural beauty spots like the South Downs right by your doorstep.
You're also near Birling Gap, the Seven Sisters cliffs and Beachy Head where you can see some stunning views, and for those looking for something fun to do, Drusillas Park is a nearby zoo.
Plus there's great shopping around the town including at The Beacon shopping centre, and tons of restaurants and cafes for every taste.

As eleições estaduais em Pernambuco em 1970 ocorreram em duas fases conforme o Ato Institucional Número Três e assim a eleição indireta do governador Eraldo Gueiros e do vice-governador Barreto Guimarães foi em 3 de outubro e a escolha dos senadores Paulo Guerra e Wilson Campos, 15 deputados federais e 39 estaduais aconteceu em 15 de novembro a partir de um receituário aplicado aos 22 estados e aos territórios federais do Amapá, Rondônia e Roraima. Em todo o país a ARENA conquistou a maioria dos cargos em disputa.

Advogado nascido em Canhotinho e formado em 1935 pela Universidade Federal de Pernambuco, Eraldo Gueiros foi escrevente e após sua graduação foi designado promotor substituto e auditor perante a Justiça Militar. Consultor jurídico do general Aurélio de Souza Ferreira quando este implementou em Pernambuco as medidas do estado de exceção decretado após a Intentona Comunista, atuou como conselheiro jurídico para o então território federal de Fernando de Noronha e a seguir exerceu a advocacia tanto em sua cidade natal quanto para a Pernambuco Tramway, empresa canadense responsável pela energia elétrica do Recife. Mediante a vitória do Regime Militar de 1964 o presidente Castelo Branco o fez procurador-geral da Justiça Militar e durante o governo Costa e Silva ascendeu ao Superior Tribunal Militar onde permaneceu até ser escolhido como governador de Pernambuco via ARENA pelo presidente Emílio Médici em 1970.

Natural do Recife, o professor Barreto Guimarães graduou-se em Humanidades no Ginásio Pernambucano dedicando-se ao ensino da matemática. Fundador do Serviço de Assistência Social de Olinda, alcançou relevo político e foi eleito deputado estadual pelo PST em 1954. No pleito seguinte falhou ao renovar o mandato via PSD, mas foi eleito prefeito de Olinda em 1959. Candidato avulso a vice-prefeito do Recife em 1963, foi o último  colocado no pleito. Por escolha de Paulo Guerra foi secretário de Governo e depois secretário de Educação, cargo mantido nos primeiros meses do governo Nilo Coelho. Mais tarde ocuparia a direção-geral do Serviço Nacional de Aprendizagem Comercial e assessorou o prefeito recifense, Geraldo Magalhães Melo. Filiado à ARENA, foi escolhido vice-governador de Pernambuco em 1970.

Scotland offers a long list of festivals throughout the year, including arts, books, music, whisky, walking and film. If you are planning a Scottish campervan holiday, why not book your Open Road campervan or motorhome hire to coincide with a festival?
Some festivals provide areas for campervans and motorhomes to park, or you will be sure to find a great caravan and motorhome park nearby. You could choose to visit a festival for a day, a weekend, or make a longer trip of it.
Here we list five of our favourite Scottish festivals that will take place in 2019.
Wigtown, in Dumfries & Galloway, has become known as Scotland's Book Town. It is the focus of an annual book festival from September 27 to October 6, 2019.
The town plays hosts to authors, writers, playwrights, as well as showcasing books, films theatre and art.
The beautiful countryside of Wigtownshire offers plenty more attractions and there are several caravan and camping sites located in the area.
The popular Spirit of Speyside Festival.
Speyside in the north-east of Scotland is acclaimed worldwide for producing many high quality whiskies. IN fact, the area is home to more than 50 distilleries and Speyside has the greatest concentration of malt whisky producers compared to any other whisky producing region of Scotland.
From May 1 to 6, 2019, the Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival takes place with a chance to visit distilleries, meet the whisky experts, join a whisky masterclass and taste a dram or two.
The festival also hosts a Whisky Awards.
There are a number of caravan and campsite options where you can hook up your campervan or motorhome.
Why not check out the North East 250 driving route while you are in he area?
See Spirit of Speyside Whisky Festival.
The four-day festival programme from May 30 to June 2 offers 20 walks, led by mountain leaders and countryside rangers, to suit many different levels of experience.
The Angus Glens is a stunning location with gorgeous scenery and plenty of historic towns and villages to visit, too.
A search on-line will reveal a number of great places to stay in Angus with your campervan or motorhome hire.

What could be a more perfect combination if you like music and whisky? The festival, from May 24 to June 1 takes place on the Island of Islay, off the west coast of Scotland.
You will also enjoy the adventure of traveling to a Scottish island.
It's possible to reach Islay from Kennacraig Port, south of Tarbet, on the mainland by Calmac ferry.
Please read information about campervans and motorhomes on Islay.
See Islay Festival of Music and Malt.
A list of festivals in Scotland is not complete without the most famous of them all: The Edinburgh Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe.
The EIF is from August 2 to 26 and showcases a fantastic variety of the performing arts. Keep an eye on the website for details of this summer's festival.
The Fringe, also from August 2 to 26, runs alongside the main festival and is billed as "the world's greatest platform for creative freedom". It features a long menu of exciting acts to see.
It is recommended that you book your place to stay with a campervan or motorhome early because demand for sites is always high during the festival period.
See Edinburgh International Festival and Edinburgh Fringe.
Open Road Scotland has a range of campervans and motorhomes to hire in Scotland and conveniently located close to Glasgow Airport in Central Scotland. If you plan to attend one of the popular Scottish festivals it's advisable that you book your hire as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

If anyone is interested, we're wanting to unload some of the cast iron molds here at C.T. in Tiffin Ohio. I've got about twenty or so that are ready to go, and have pulled a hundred more out of the vault that can be refurbished.
Any spelunkers out there are welcome to enter the catacombs and fish one out of the thousands I didn't pull.
Blow molds and press molds. All shapes all sizes.
Trying to fund a furnace rebuild, so by all means, come on down!
Let me know - THANKS!!
Chris, I have the 4 inch tapered heart mold and would be happy to sell it. I think it's about twelve inches tall or so, I'd have to check. It tapers as it goes down. I think it was used only twice. What's it worth to you?
Mostly I'm talking about hinge molds and press molds. there are also a few optic molds that aren't of the standard steinert star variety.
The price range goes from $50 up to $1500 depending on the size.

Q: Apache2 Problems after updating OSX to High Sierra For the week I have had major issues with Apache. My development environment on my mac stopped working after I updated to High Sierra. I tried for hours fixing this myself but couldn't find a solution.
Server version: Apache/2.4.29 (Unix)
Basically what is happening, whenever I try to restart apache I get this message:
AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully
qualified domain name, using 10.0.0.50. Set the 'ServerName' directive
globally to suppress this message

I have tried a ton of different ways of configuring my vhosts file as well as my httpd config but have seen no improvement.
The document root path was not pointed where my website existed before. After finding that out and pointing it at the correct location the "It Works!" message I was getting every-time disappeared and now I am only greeted with a message that says
Not Found

The requested URL / was not found on this server.

This message happens no matter what path I put for the DocumentRoot section so I'm not sure what the real problem is.
Also, I have my apache set up to use localhost, however it continues to use 10.0.0.50 as it's IP of choice. I have never seen this IP before and I am confused on where it came from.
TLDR: I am having tons of problems with apache after updating to High Sierra, have tried to uninstall/reinstall. Apache is using 10.0.0.50 as the IP, DocumentRoot seems to have problems, config seems to be messed up.

A: Check configuration:
httpd -t

AH00558: httpd: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 192.168.1.79. Set the 'ServerName' directive globally to suppress this message
Syntax OK

To fix that:
sudo vi /etc/apache2/httpd.conf

Before:
ServerName www.example.com:80

After:
ServerName localhost

Check configuration again:
httpd -t

Syntax OK

We left the suburbs of Tampa, FL and bought a Blueberry Farm here in Georgia. We wanted to start blogging to chronicle our journey during the renovation of our home and this farmland. We are hoping to show others that it IS POSSIBLE, even when one partner travels for a living. Even with a special needs child. Even when you have health issues. And even when everyone tells you that you cannot do it organically. YOU CAN and WE DO!!

Auto maker Magna and drug maker Valeant were among the drags on the main Toronto Stock Exchange index Thursday. Meanwhile oil prices dropped amid the supply glut and gold prices were lower on expectation of a US interest rate rise next month.
Wall Street also ended the session narrowly lower as cautious investors eye Friday's jobs data which could edge the Fed nearer to a hike.
Asian markets were mixed with China and Japan outperforming the region and European markets were also undecided on the likelihood of the Fed making a move next month.
There was a flurry of activity surrounding newly available shares in the Hydro One company Thursday. The IPO was one of the largest on the TSX for many years and saw the Ontario government selling off 81.8 million shares to raise money to fund infrastructure projects. Trading was brisk and saw the share price rise more than a dollar from the initial $20.50 offer price.
Vancouver-based Telus announced plans to save around $125 million in annual costs Thursday; a plan which includes 1,500 job cuts. The telecom firm said that the roles would be management and unionized jobs with voluntary buyout packages expected to be offered. The news came as Telus revealed third quarter results with revenue up 4.2 per cent year-over-year to $3.15 billion. Net income was up 2.8 per cent to $365 million with adjusted income up by the same percentage to total $398 million. Quarterly dividend will be 44 cents.
The latest figures from RBC show that Canadians now owe $1.88 trillion, up 5 per cent from the same time last year. Mortgage debt was the main driver of the increase, up 5.9 per cent ($74.9 billion) in the 12 months to October. While the Bank of Canada and many analysts have said that the debts are largely manageable there are also signs that housing is slowing down and corrections in prices could leave some consumers in danger of owing more than their home is worth.


first joined when the good old NHL times just started over a year ago.
Tell us more about yourself, where are you from?
Hi, I am from Poland, i live in Poznań, 5th of the biggest polish cities. Here was few Euro Cup 2012 matches so some Irish, Italians or Croatians can remember Poznań maybe.
I started betting something like 10 years ago, first it was soccer, natural choice here. I did it just for fun but each next year was better and better for me. Few years later i switched to NHL betting and it was perfect shot.
Due to it i found a Zcode system a year ago. At those times it was in "open mode" at facebook, but i loved this idea immediately. It looked awesome with automatic picks, great visual layout, algorithms, tools and… results! That was exactly what i needed to improve my betting results. I increased my betting unit and now I treat it much more seriously, not betting fun anymore but investing. I I have catched hook and here i am!
It depends! If you ask about betting it is a hockey no doubt, but NHL only. I dont follow any others leagues like KHL or polish hockey league. If you ask about watching it is a soccer! I am big fan of English Premier League and local soccer club Lech Poznań. Every weekend i try to watch 2-3 soccer games but i dont bet it usually. Just enjoy it. If you ask about my favorite sport to play its a volleyball, but i am to small to be a good with it :). As you can see on my photo winter is skiing time for me.
baseball but learned it very fast!
Its a NHL again! You can imagine how painfull lockout is for me! Luckily thanks to zcode i can taste other big US leagues like NBA, NFL and MLB. Of course basketball is even more popular than hockey here in Poland so it easy to watch some NBA games in TV, but NFL and MLB were totally exotic. Baseball was very painfull for me at the beginnig. "What the hell is that?" i asked my self. "Series games, 3 games between the same teams in 3 days? Its crazy!" "Who the hell can watch this?" I still have no answer for last question but MLB with Trey system was kind for me and i finished it in a profit. MLB has brought me also lines movements chart at zcode site, my favorite filtering tool!
NFL i loved immediately. Great, powerfull sport with a lot of action on the field. I like to have a week to analyze games. I also found great football teacher on zcode. As Trey with MLB so Mark D. with NFL is great mentor. Thanks to him and a zcode system NFL is very profitable for me from the beginning.
I see you are doing the quarter system betting with the big success.
Please tell your tips on this system!
Yes, i tried it and have very good results. I am sure this system has really huge potential. However, there are two big problems for me. You need to follow whole matches carefully, so you need to have a free time. Usually it is not possible for me, particularly with NBA where most games are from 1am to 6am polish time. Second problem with quarter progression is stres. You have to be prepared for D bets. That is why i dont post my progressions on zcode forum. I still test this system so i dont want provide people to risky D bets.
You have to remember always, games filtering is the key with progression. I never play progression against elite home team, NEVER. Parallelly i test shorter AB quarters progression system. It is much safer. My advise for beginers is to look closer to AB progression. You have to wait until favorite win/tie 1st and 2nd quarter and bet on underdog to win 3rd or 4th. It works for me very well with NFL and NBA. Last week i won: Jags, Colts, Titans, Rams, and got Dolpins a push. Sometimes there is a week when i have no games for this system, but most important there are no C or D bets :).
were very close and always get into playoffs! What's your secret?
Answer is very simple. I dont win because in playoff i always hit against one of the best zcode members like Danilo last time. His result was outstanding in last NFL contest, There is nothing you can do against a guy who takes 5/5. My secret in contests like this is simple. Maybe i shouldnt tell you haha, but first of all you have to be cautious like a weasel, selective like a Stamos and you should wait for your opponent mistake. Some people call it a "tactic" :). If your opponent made a mistake, good for you, you still have be cautious like a weasel and selective like a Stamos. If your opponent is Danilo then you have to go with kamikaze move and pray for lucky shot :).
Zcode is the best place you could find, not only because of Zcode by itself, but also because you have great experts here!
