What do you need to know about SCALP?
Scalp is defined as the skin covering the head excluding the face, which is precisely true. But it does not tell you other facts about scalp that one should know. Like; scalp also forms the base of your hair, the hair follicle, depends highly on scalp condition to be in optimum condition. Scalp maintenance is often neglected or considered as the same as hair care, which is not the case. So, in this article we'll try to have a look at what is really important in terms of scalp.
As discussed before, scalp is the skin from where your hair grows, scalp is a skin which consists of many sebaceous glands and hair follicles. Let's talk about sebaceous glands first, just think of a system that help to lubricate or hydrate or make a waterproof layer on skin and hair. So it is something important for skin and hair both, nextly, hair follicle, is the root from where the hair grows. In short, scalp is a base of hair growth cycle, and it does not end there, it also needs to be maintained just like any other part of our body otherwise one may land into traps of Dermatitis, Psoriasis, Hair-Loss, Inflammation and many more.
Now you know how important your scalp is, let's talk about what can possibly go wrong if proper care is not taken.
Dermatitis, also known as eczema, is a disease which causes redness of skin which then turns into blisters and then your skin is thickened. Don't forget the itch which comes with this condition, upon all of that, your skin is red enough to be gross.
Next is Psoriasis, which also causes red patches without itch but wait, it is even more dangerous because it might prove fatat, YES, FATAL! What is does is kills the ability of body to control temperature and fight other infections. Yes you read that right, it is severe than you think.
Inflammation. Just imagine you are in a meeting and you constantly have to itch your head, yes how gross is that. Also, your boss might be judging you for doing that. It is one of the common problems that one has to face due to lack of neglecting scalp care.
Dandruff. I don't need to stress on this one because you already don't like those white flakes on shoulders. Exactly, that depends on how healthy your scalp is.
These were just four of them, the list is longer than you think.
To conclude, I would like to say that this article is not meant to scare you but to spread the awareness about scalp care and how it may affect your life.
Basically scalp is a mixture of 5 layers of skin, which is responsible for the hair on your head, so, healthy scalp results in healthy hair.


"After looking at some stupid prices this (CBD) is the best price, all I've done is buy an empty 30ml bottle, added two of my normal liquids and one CBD and there you go, does the job."
So you see a lot of love. However, we've not skipped anything in the production of our products. We use the most expensive CBD extraction method to create pure CBD isolate, and we correctly blend our premium E-Liquid carriers with the CBD isolate. But ultimately we're only as good as our raw material, and with CBD you're working with a plant so at Bull Brand we start with the finest quality hemp plant.
Indigenous to eastern Asia this herbaceous flowering plant is now widely grown in a variety of locations. The plant has a wide range of uses; fibres can be used to create clothing and accessories while the seeds can be used for food, oil and compounds found in the plant can be used medicinally, spiritually and also for religious purposes. In India, it has traditionally been used as a hallucinogenic, hypnotic, sedative, analgesic and anti-inflammatory.
We're naturally interested in the cannabinoids that are present, the THC less so because it is a controlled substance in the UK, however, it's naturally occurring in small amounts in the Sativa variety of the plant meaning that when processed we've got less to remove.
We've sourced our Sativa hemp plants from the US; our hand-selected growers carefully cultivate the plants in contaminate free soil and grow the plants without the use of pesticides. All this sounds small, but in reality, it contributes to a purer plant which results in purer CBD products. Once we have extracted the CBD, we check all our CBD isolate with our in-house analyser and also verify this with a university laboratory. All of this effort helps us create a product which meets our customer's need and that we can stand by. So if you're into vaping and you're yet to try a CBD product, give it a try!

The Duke of York's Royal Military School has been associated with The British Torch of Remembrance for almost a decade.
Each November, senior selected pupils in ceremonial uniform provide an Honour Guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior whilst a service embracing the rekindling of the torch is led by the Dean of Westminster. Buglers sound The Last Post and Reveille.
Senior students also play a significant role the following day in the Service of Remembrance held at the Dover Marine Station (Western Dock) as the British Torch of Remembrance Pilgrimage prepares to depart for Belgium.
The pilgrimage lasts for several days in early November with key events and ceremonies taking place in Oostende, Brussels and the Menin Gate in Ieper. Other historic locations include Bredene and Roeselare. Pilgrims come from all over Britain, from all three Services and none.
The 54th Annual Pilgrimage took place on 7 -12 November 2018, please click here for a fully annotated version of this year's pilgrimage programme.
Whilst the story of the British Torch of Remembrance dates from 1965, the idea of a torch to act as a symbol of remembrance for fallen comrades in the First World War originated in Belgium in 1926. Inspired by an idea of The Belgian National Veterans Federation (FNC), representatives bearing torches from the nine provinces of Belgium assembled annually on 11th November at the national memorial to the Unknown Warrior in Brussels, the Colonne du Congres. There, having paid homage, the torches would be extinguished for that year. The popularity of this symbolic act spread rapidly throughout Belgium so that several hundred local torches were borne to the main provincial towns and their spirit was handed over to the provincial torch.
Following the end of World War ll, a group of Belgian officers in London decided to see the permanent flame rekindled at the Colonne du Congres; it had been extinguished by the Germans during the war. Their torch was lit at the Tomb of the Unknown Warrior at Westminster Abbey and transported to Brussels to rekindle the permanent flame.
Over the years, torches from countries such as France, Brazil, USA and The Netherlands, where Belgian ex-servicemen had settled, joined the pilgrimage and in 1965 a British Torch first made the journey to Brussels. Its guardians were a group of 'Old Contemptibles', comrades of the old Belgian Fifth Army. Since then, the simple passage of time has led to the British Torch being now the only one that represents the Anglo-Belgian community. Its members are proud to be associated with an organisation of such historic, diplomatic, religious and military provenance.

HHS: Hey, we got a million visitors yesterday!
Ed MorrisseyPosted at 10:41 am on December 3, 2013
Hey, so have we — on many occasions, and we didn't get them because we passed a Blog-Reading Mandate and cancelled people's existing favorite reads, either. (Hmmmmm.) But let's not let than rain on the HHS bragging parade today, in which spokesperson Joanne Peters crows about the "stable" Healthcare.gov:
High demand for quality, affordable health care with 1m visitors to http://t.co/FuYxsxqEJS on Monday alone. Site is stable.
— Joanne Peters (@JoannePtrs) December 3, 2013
Well, "high demand" happens when the government passes a law that forces millions out of their existing insurance plan, as Phil Kerpen noted yesterday when HHS started bragging about traffic numbers, as Twitchy reported this morning
Most people trying to sign up on http://t.co/SHUhLTJc4W are not going because they want to, but because the plans they had were CANCELED.
— Phil Kerpen (@kerpen) December 2, 2013
Don't forget, too, that "demand" is a private-sector function in a market situation. When government mandates purchases and then brags that it's found a "demand" three weeks before the deadline to meet the mandate, that's less than impressive for a sales pitch. It's a bit like bragging about demand for Breathalyzer tests based on a surge in traffic stops for suspected DUIs.
By the way … how many of the one million visitors managed to actually buy health insurance? Peters doesn't mention that figure, but even if she did, the real number is still likely to be zero — at least so far:
Bob Shlora of Alpharetta, Ga., was supposed to be a belated Obamacare success story. After weeks of trying, the 61-year-old told ABC News he fully enrolled in a new health insurance plan through the federal marketplace over the weekend, and received a Humana policy ID number to prove it.
But two days later, his insurer has no record of the transaction, Shlora said, even though his account on the government website indicates that he has a plan.
"I feel like this: My application was taken … by a bureaucrat, it was put on a conveyor belt and it's still going around, and it's never going to leave the building," he said. "I've lost hope. If it happens, great."
Obama administration officials acknowledged today that some of the roughly 126,000 Americans who completed the torturous online enrollment process in October and November might not be officially signed up with their selected issuer, even if the website has told them they are.
Until HHS and CMS build the back-end systems and they actually work, very few people who think they have insurance should be celebrating … even if HHS is having a party over its visitor statistics.

The Linda Blair Worldheart Foundation wishes you and your pets a happy and safe Halloween. Below please find some safety tips to make sure your pet has a safe and you an enjoyable Halloween!
Never leave your 4-legged loved ones outside during Halloween. Unfortunately there are plenty of people out there who play pranks that could seriously harm your pet.
Remember to keep candy out of reach of your pets. Chocolate is extremely dangerous, as are many of the wrappers.
If your pet is typically skittish give them a nice quiet, safe place in the house so they don't become frightened.
If your pet is social and you would like them to be part of the Halloween festivities, it's best to keep them leashed in the event they become spooked and try to dart out the door.
Make sure your animals are properly tagged and micro-chipped in the event of escape.
Don't dress up pets unless they love it. If you do dress them up make sure the costume isn't annoying or unsafe. Avoid restriction of movement, vision, hearing or the ability to breathe or vocalize. Costumes should not contain small dangling accessories that could be consumed or cause choking.
Restrict your pet's access to decorations. Jack o' lanterns with candles are obvious fire hazards, but cats can also get tangled in streamers. Pets can also become ill from eating holiday decor.

They say a dog is a man's best friend. We certainly treat them like it: we take our dogs to the best vets, to doggy daycare, and to holistic specialists when they are ill. We buy coats and Halloween costumes, and we set them up with their own blogs, Facebook, and Instagram feeds. But do our dogs—and other animals—feel the same way about us? And what exactly does a dog—or a bat or a dolphin for that matter—think and feel in general?
Gregory Berns, a neuroscientist at Emory University and author of the New York Times bestselling book How Dogs Love Us, pondered these very questions. After viewing photographs of the capture of Osama bin Laden in which dogs were jumping from helicopters under chaotic conditions, Berns had a thought. If a dog could be trained to jump out of a helicopter, why couldn't a dog be trained to enter an MRI machine? And if that was possible, what if one could compare the functioning of human and dog brains? Berns would be the perfect person to unwrap these mysteries of the animal mind—early in his career he pioneered the use of brain imaging technologies to understand human motivation and decision-making. Could this be a step towards figuring out how dogs think? Berns and his team endeavored to find out.
The results of this experiment is found in Gregory Berns' groundbreaking new book WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A DOG: And Other Adventures in Animal Neuroscience (Basic Books; September 5, 2017). Berns' exploration of the inner minds of dogs, as well as other creatures, heralds a new world, one in which complex intelligence is all around us. As Berns explains, understanding how animals think will revolutionize the way we communicate with them and how we treat them.
Do our dogs love us? Do they really get *that* excited when we come home? Do they like the toys we have bought for them? Do they have the same undying love and affection for us that we have for them? How would we even know if they do? These questions swirled around neuroscientist Dr. Gregory Berns' mind when his beloved pug, Newton, passed away. He began to wonder if Newton had loved him as much as he had loved him—or if all the affection and tail-wagging just an evolutionary response to gain more treats.
Determined to seek out the answer to these questions, Berns and his team did something nobody had ever attempted: they trained dogs to go into an MRI scanner—completely awake—so he could figure out what they think and feel. What they found was astonishing—dogs, like people, are individuals. They have varying abilities for self-control, how they understand language, and even whether food or companionship is more important. And all of these traits are being revealed in the brains of these MRI-dogs.
The deeper Berns dug into the dog brain, the more obsessed he became with learning about other animals. What if a dog could tell us exactly how she felt? And what would a pig say about a slaughterhouse? What did a whale think about all the noise flooding the ocean from ships and submarines? The result of these investigations would not only enrich our understanding of the inner world of animals—it would inevitably force us to rethink how we treat them.
Now, after five years of research, WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A DOG: And Other Adventures in Animal Neuroscience (Basic Books, September 5, 2017) lays out what Berns and his team learned. Organized in the order in which Berns and his team endeavored to look at various species, WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A DOG shows us that each animal analysis conducted has a connecting aspect: the structures in the brains of animals are organized in the same way as corresponding parts of our own brains. And not only did these parts look the same, but they functioned in the same way—from dogs and cats to dolphins, sea lions, and even the extinct Tasmanian tiger.
With empathy and humor, Gregory Bernsshows us how animal brains are similar to humans and that we can understand what it is like to be a dog, or a dolphin. His results prove that animals have many experiences and feelings in common with humans. This leads to a startling reconsideration of the rights of animals and the relationships we have with them.
Many of the world's species are disappearing at an alarming rate, with the WWF estimates that two-thirds of many species populations may be gone by 2020. In WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A DOG, Berns hopes to raise awareness of the mental lives of the animals with whom we share the planet—and in doing so, provide a new manifesto for animal liberation of the 21st century.
"We know a lot about the intelligence of animals and nearly nothing about their brains. Greg Berns is changing all of this by means of noninvasive techniques that respect the animals. He is boldly going where no one has gone before, offering a lively, eye-opening peek into his neuroscience kitchen."—Frans de Waal, author of Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?
Many of you may not realize that animal rescuers are inundated with emails and people begging us to help animals in shelters or people that have fallen on hard times, losing their homes, pets found out in the desert, abandoned. It's a very difficult world to live in. We have a different skin because we live trying every minute of every day to save the innocent animals that were neglected, abandoned, or thrown away and it happens each and every day all over our country and the world.
We try so hard to keep going, to be able to put a smile on our face for the public and people that ask how we are doing. But does anyone really care how we are doing? Our world is a very difficult one to live in.
After perusing hundreds of animals on the euthanasia list in the shelters, sending emails, trying to save lives I started to turn my computer off to go get a few hours of rest. Something caught my eye. An email from a very brave lady that rescues dogs that are abandoned way back deep in the California desert.
Once again it was another cruelty case, a starving beautiful, gentle, sweet pitbull abandoned to die, near starvation and fed something that poisoned its mouth so it could no longer eat or drink. My eyes, my heart, it's hard not to cry. I just had to reach out to you all, the loving animal community and beg you to donate to those of us that save these poor animals from their abandonment, neglect, starvation and witness so many horrible crimes that man does to these innocent animals. I beg you to make a donation because that's the only thing that helps us to keep going is the financial aid. I don't take a salary; I give all your donations to the animals we are able to rescue through LBWF.
I think it's important to understand that when you hear the word "rescuer", it means "volunteer". It's you, me and anyone with an open heart or home to help one in need. Human or animal. In the case of an animal rescuer, we open our homes or find appropriate foster homes that can offer shelter to an animal in need. This is similar to the process of finding foster homes for children in need.
Well, in the "underground world" of animal rights advocates, we read thousands of emails about animals facing death sentences every day. At first you cry a lot, then you go into action and get involved.
from unthinkable abuse. They suffer alone, behind closed doors. For unless a rescuer or good volunteer tells you, no one will ever see them. They are simply doomed to die. We ache, but we keep walking. We ask questions, and we think of anyone who might be looking for a dog or cat. We get teary-eyed for those animals we know we just can't help.
awhile, and drive off with a scared new friend you've never met before. Neither of you knows the other. If an animal is unaltered (not spayed or neutered) they are sent to a clinic the next day and you pick them up, usually half asleep, and take them to another vet for a check up. If they have contracted a cold, known as "Kennel Cough", they must be quarantined at a veterinarian with a quarantine area, or a boarding facility with a quarantine. A foster home, who has no animals to protect from the upper respiratory cold is always best, but nearly impossible to find. If the animal has mange, which is very contagious, it needs to be treated as well while in quarantine. Then we have boarding costs, feeding costs and sometimes large medical expenses. If they have broken limbs they must be operated on and kept in a quiet place to recover.
housetrained? How old are they really? What breed or mix are they? We visit them during quarantine as much as possible. We take them for walks, play or just sit with them to get to know them. And they need the opportunity to know us, too.
We make flyers with a photograph, and the animal's story. Then we drive around and distribute the flyers, and make phone calls and send emails.
We schedule adoption days. We find a suitable place like a storefront, a small shopping mall, or pet store that allows us to set up a small adoption area with a playpen and food and water station, to show our "Adoptee". In the summer months we hope to have "misters" to relieve them from the summer days heat. When someone is interested in one of our friends, we ask questions about their home and fenced yards, their work hours, and what kind of a companion they're looking for, and how much time they have to spend with them. We ask them to fill out questionnaires about themselves, so we can best decide who's correct for the animal and who the animal will best get along with.
For example, older dogs are happy to have a warm place, and love. Younger dogs need to be exercised more, and sometimes need more training. Puppies need it all; housetraining, obedience training, and a lifetime commitment.
Our job, is healing & match making. When we finally make a choice, we've made the drive to someone's home, done our house check, paperwork, and taken a departing picture of our rescued animal, we say our goodbye's and drive away. Most of us cry a little, not always because we are sad, but because we saved a life. Our job is complete. They will be missed, but we move on to the next one, for there are thousands just waiting for someone to rescue them. Waiting for someone to save them from the cold, frightening shelters, death row and the inevitable & foreboding death needle or far worse, in some states in America, the gas chamber.

This approach involves functional, skilled, and synchronized services and also includes the criminal justice system, the police, social services, and sexual assault services. This modality stems from the summary of findings of progress and challenges in creating safe and healthy environment for Victorian women in a study of community attitudes to violence against women. Adapting these provisions specifically for sexual assault and emphasizing on primary prevention i.
These strategies seek to prevent sexual assault before it occurs by changing environments so that they are safer for women a simple measure like well lit walk ways could make a lot of difference, even though there are more factors to sexual assault than just dark places , building the skills and knowledge of individuals or changing behaviour.
Primary prevention addresses its underlying causes such as gender inequality and poverty , and are effective prevention strategies. Early intervention is targeted to individuals and groups who exhibit early signs of violent behaviour or being subject to violence. These strategies aim to change behaviours or increase the skills of individuals and groups.
These strategies are implemented after violence has occurred and aim to deal with the violence, prevent its consequences and ensure that violence does not occur again or escalate. A comprehensive protocol thus could be developed for the overall management of sexual assault and this would outline primary, secondary and tertiary levels of prevention that commences from a universal personal education and assistance for new parents to help ensure a positive relationship with the child and with access to continuing assistance where needed into the preschool years; and a formal link to the education service on entering school to a tertiary level of prevention predicated on a community-based, court ordered specific treatment programmes with specialists trained in this field to assist offenders to take responsibility for and control their behaviour.
Data from the US that evaluated the effect of this kind of comprehensive approach suggests a true decline in the incidence of child sexual abuse over the last decade, and is evidence that, in part at least, child sexual abuse may be preventable.
As parents help to prevent sexual abuse of minors through open discussions of normal sexual development with their children, the paediatrician or other specialist children workers are in an ideal position to both aid parents in these discussions and to incorporate sexual development and abuse prevention into routine anticipatory guidance.
Some workers have also focused on perpetrator prevention, i. This entails incorporation of perpetrator prevention into an ecological approach to the prevention of sexual assault and involves the exploration of three of the risk factors linked with sexually abusive behaviour: gender inequality, the negative effects on children and young men of media exposure to sexual violence, and the increased risk of sexually abusive behaviour by males with a history of childhood sexual abuse.
This is a rather bold attempt to correct the traditional role ideology especially in the more prevalent sexual assault against women, where a societal expectation about sexual assault exists that men will be aggressive and women will be passive. However it is equally important to avoid any negative effects of self blame in the unfortunate event of a sexual assault despite possessing self defence skills.
To this end therefore such defence courses should also emphasize that responsibility for assault always lies with the offenders and that women or victims are not responsible for Annals of Ibadan Postgraduate Medicine. As already highlighted, it is a confrontational approach with inherent merits and demerits. Additional factors may include deficits in communication, an inability to seek help or report abuse, lack of knowledge on how to defend against abuse, and lack of education regarding appropriate sexual behaviour.
Often they are dependent on others in scenarios where compliance is typically encouraged and reinforced such as in institutions which unfortunately might generalize to sexually abusive requests. Every responsible society must pay special attention to the very vulnerable. Studies have shown that behavioural skills training programme resulted in the acquisition of sexual abuse prevention skills in these individuals 31 , Eastgate, in her study on this subject, concluded that women and men with intellectual disabilities need education to assist them to resist sexual abuse.
In addition they may also need advocacy to ensure their environment e. Such training programmes could be replicated in various communities taking into consideration their peculiar demographic and sociocultural factors. I have no doubt that such specialized efforts will yield much dividend in the prevention of sexual assaults among the very vulnerable groups.
Young adolescents also constitute another vulnerable group deserving special attention. Sexual assault is preventable but it requires more than just a causal effort because of the complexity of its nature as alluded to in the foregoing discussion. It is important the developed societies maintain alertness and consolidate on preventive measures in place whilst the developing world could learn from the successes and failures of preventive measures that have been implemented in certain places.
A global collaboration is a critical requirement so as to create a hostile environment for sexual assault perpetrators in all climes. To this end, a purpose driven framework developed in Australia is worth considering in confronting the challenges of sexual assault prevention This framework is amenable to modification in order to fit into peculiar social, cultural, and religious contexts that exist in different places.
The principles reflect the magnitude of the challenge in issues of sexual assault prevention, and also highlight the level of commitment and leadership required thus:. Prevention begins with addressing the cultural values and norms that support and tolerate sexual assault.
This is a long-term undertaking requiring sustained leadership and effort. Any ongoing development of an evidence based modality should be anchored in the context of each environment as this is fundamental to sexual assault prevention. No single agency of government can address sexual assault prevention alone.
Portfolios across all levels of government, including education, health, justice, and crime prevention, as well as the non-government sector and community stakeholders, each have a significant contribution to make. The generation and dissemination of research, practice and policy information to all stakeholders is central to sexual assault prevention.
Challenges that will be encountered in addressing the issue of sexual assault only reflect the complexity of the behaviours to be addressed in eliminating sexual violence. Although sexual violence is primarily instigated by males, it is the whole community that allows for the acceptance, maintenance, and reinforcement of such behaviour. This bulk of people in the middle, especially the male gender, may be well-meaning men who are looking for opportunities and direction about what steps they can take in preventing sexual assault.
It is therefore time for an all inclusive fight against sexual assault; a fight which should be devoid of sexist bias for greater efficacy; and a fight which indeed is attainable.

This article has been cited by other articles in PMC. Abstract Sexual assault occurs commonly worldwide and is particularly pervasive in the developing world.
Keywords: Sexual Assault, Prevention, Nigeria. Public Enlightenment Public enlightenment has been shown to be a critical tool in changing behaviour, attitude, beliefs and value system of people. Education The Universal Basic Education UBE recently introduced by the Federal Government of Nigeria through an enabling federal law was meant to make education compulsory and free for all children up to the junior secondary school level. Institutional Framework Prevention of sexual assault will remain a mirage until society puts in place institutional framework to deal comprehensively with actual cases of sexual assault.
Emphasis on Primary Prevention This modality stems from the summary of findings of progress and challenges in creating safe and healthy environment for Victorian women in a study of community attitudes to violence against women. Primary Prevention These strategies seek to prevent sexual assault before it occurs by changing environments so that they are safer for women a simple measure like well lit walk ways could make a lot of difference, even though there are more factors to sexual assault than just dark places , building the skills and knowledge of individuals or changing behaviour.

The group has a vast experience in the Shipping Industry with interest in Ship Recycling, Cash Buying, Chartering and Ship Owning. We have associations with experts in Crew, Technical and Commercial Management.
Ship Recycling : This industry has been around for the last 100 years. Countries like India, China, Bangladesh and Pakistan have been most active in the Ship Breaking Industry. Prior to 1976 the import of vessels was not permitted in India. It is only in 1976 when the import of vessels was opened, which was canalized through 'Metal Scrap Trade Corporation'.Importers were not allowed to import directly. It is only after 1982 that direct import was permitted.
It was then that Alang, a coastal area located in the state of Gujarat was considered suitable because of its high tides and long stretch of beach. Today Alang is known internationally and is considered one of the largest Ship Breaking yards in the world having 270 plots. Alang Ship Breaking Yard demolishes approx 2.5 million tons of vessels each year.
Pioneers in the Ship Breaking Industry, we have demolished in excess of 500 vessels with a total tonnage of approx 5 million MT. Vessels demolished include General Cargo, Containers, Oil Tankers, Fish carriers, Passengers, Ro-Ro, Naval, Aircraft Carriers, etc. Our ship breaking activities are carried out in Alang and Mumbai.
Cash Buying : Cash Buying is all about purchasing securities and commodities outright, rather than arranging some type of financing as part of the acquisition. This terminology became common for business dealing in the trading of vessels for demolition and hence the business of buying and selling vessels got the name Cash Buying.
We have been operating as Cash Buyers since 2004 and have dealt with more than100 vessels totaling approx 1 million MT.
Chartering & Ship Owning : Considering our business activities in Demolition and Trading of vessels, diversifying into Ship Owning was a perfect synergy.
Our first vessel Dawn Meerut was purchased in 2012 and has been successfully operating with Indian oil majors. Since then we have acquired two more vessels and operate them on both Indian and Foreign Waters. The Group endeavors to expand its presence in Shipping, both on Indian and Foreign Waters and expanding its fleet of vessel in the near future.
The Company caters to a wide spectrum of services to 12+ principals worldwide. The group under the dynamic leadership of Mr. Gautam Daniel Chopra, a Master Mariner has made multifold growth in the sphere of Integrated Ship Management having a joint venture with Thome Shipping India Pvt. Ltd., a company recognized as one of the worlds leading integrated shipping service providers.

100th anniversary of the founding of the USSR: Speech by Tibor Zenker, Party of Labour of Austria (PdA)
Contribution by Tibor Zenker, chairman of the Party of Labour of Austria (PdA), at the teleconference of the European Communist Initiative on the 100th anniversary of the founding of the USSR:
The founding of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics on 30 December 1922 marked the greatest state-political achievement of the revolutionary working class to date. It was the result of the Great October Socialist Revolution of 1917, the successful struggle of the young Russian Soviet Republic against counterrevolution and interventions, the overcoming of civil war and so-called "war communism".

The following speech was delivered by the General Secretary of the CC of the KKE Dimitris Koutsoumbas at the teleconference of the European Communist Initiative on the 100th anniversary of the founding of the USSR:
The international and domestic developments in the 100 years since the founding of the USSR confirm the necessity to enrich our programmatic conception of socialism, incorporating all the positive and at the same time negative experience from the very course of socialist construction in the 20th century and drawing useful conclusions from the victory of the counter-revolution, first of all in the USSR.

Alexandra Kollontai — Communism and the Family
By Alexandra Kollontai
Women's role in production: its effect upon the family
Will the family continue to exist under communism? Will the family remain in the same form? These questions are troubling many women of the working class and worrying their menfolk as well. Life is changing before our very eyes; old habits and customs are dying out, and the whole life of the proletarian family is developing in a way that is new and unfamiliar and, in the eyes of some, "bizarre". No wonder that working women are beginning to think these questions over. Another fact that invites attention is that divorce has been made easier in Soviet Russia.

Communist Parties' participation in bourgeois governments is a deeply erroneous strategy
Every time a Communist Party compromised the aim of workers' power in order to participate (or support) a "progressive", "left-wing", "anti-capitalist", "anti-fascist" etc, bourgeois government the results were utterly disappointing, leading to ideological degeneration and disintegration of the workers-popular movement.
A few days ago, the Portuguese Communist Party (PCP), a party with significant history, paid the price of its participation in the "progressive" government of the Socialists, by receiving a rather disappointing 4.4% and four seats in the legislative elections. This result marks an almost 2% loss compared to the 2019 election.

63rd Anniversary of the Triumph of the Cuban Revolution
By Nikos Mottas
The Cuban Revolution inspired and continues to inspire the workers-people's struggles in all over the world, proving the vitality of the Marxist-Leninist worldview and the significance of proletarian internationalism. Figures such as Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Camilo Cienfuegos, Vilma Espin, Fran Pais and others became eternal symbols of the revolutionary working class movement throughout the world.
Under the leadership of Comandante en Jefe Fidel Castro Ruz and with the decisive contribution of the Soviet Union and other socialist states, Cuba achieved a number of extraordinary – unprecedented in Latin America - achievements in sectors such as Health, Education, Womens' Rights, Culture, Sports, etc.

30 years later, 63% of Russians regret the dissolution of the Soviet Union
Thirty years since the victory of the counterrevolution and the overthrow of socialism in the Soviet Union, the supposed "heaven" that capitalism would bring in Russia has been proved nothing more than a deception.
The deeply anti-worker policies of the bourgeois governments, from Boris Yeltsin to the current administration of Vladimir Putin, leads more and more Russians to consider what they lost after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Huge social achievements were abolished, the rich became richer and the poor became poorer, while the income for the working class families shrinks year by year. Capitalism has shown its real, repulsive, barbaric face to the working people of Russia.

The Red Flag will rise again: 30 years since the dissolution of the Soviet Union
It was thirty years ago, on December 26, 1991, when the red flag with the sickle and hammer was lowered from the Kremlin.
It was then, during the cold days of December, when the first socialist state of the world, the homeland of the world's proletariat, bent under the weight of the counterrevolution. Four days before, on December 22nd, the leaderships of three of the largest Soviet republics had decided the dissolution of the USSR, while the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU) had been outlawed on summer of the same year.

Has socialism ever existed in the Nordic countries?
In "Arbetet Debatt" newspaper, left-wing politicians Jonas Sjöstedt from Sweden and Pelle Dragstedt from Denmark, published a text about socialism. They write about how it worked and that examples of it can be found in the Nordic countries, including Sweden.
We translated and publish an article written by Andreas Sörensen, head of the Communist Party of Sweden (SKP), that was published in "Riktpunkt" on 30 November 2021. The article is titled "Has socialism worked in the North?" and provides a response to the arguments made by Sjöstedt and Dragstedt.

3 hot items on Don Sweeney's off-season to-do list

Something went wrong. Please report issue.
It's been over a month since the Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning eliminated the Boston Bruins in five games. But alas, the NHL off-season is officially here.
Expect a busy off-season — with the league's proposed startup for the 2020-21 season in December or January — beginning next week with the NHL Draft and the start of free agency.
Boston's general manager Don Sweeney has several significant off-season decisions ahead of him to shape the team's path for next season and beyond.
Will the Bruins trade Torey Krug? Do they go all in for a big name to solidify the second line? What do you do with Zdeno Chara?
The Bruins recently found themselves on the rumor mill regarding several big names, including Arizona's Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Buffalo's Jack Eichel. Whether or not those names are realistic to pull off or just a pipe dream is anyone's guess.
But without further ado, here are the top three items on Sweeney's to-do list.
Make a decision on Torey Krug.
Torey Krug's days as a Boston Bruin could be over as he's prepared to hit the unrestricted free agent market. (Photo: Amy O'Brien/Bruins Daily)
The top item is a pretty significant one for Sweeney and Boston's front office.
Krug's looming free agency was the elephant in the room throughout the 2019-20 season. And neither side appeared willing to make the first move.
The 5-foot-9 defenseman confirmed that there was very little discussion during the season about a contract extension during his year-end media availability.
Earlier this week TSN's Frank Seravalli confirmed that the Bruins remain in talks with the 29-year-old defenseman, with their latest offer coming in at $6.5 million a year over the next six years. That's a fair increase in pay for the NHL's sixth-highest scoring defenseman since 2016, but, the salary itself doesn't appear to be enough to secure Krug in Boston.
Sounds like there has indeed been significant interest in teams trading for Torey Krug's rights (@RearAdBsBlog on the case). My belief is last offer from #NHLBruins to Krug's camp was 6 years x $6.5 million.
— Frank Seravalli (@frank_seravalli) September 28, 2020
A handful of teams, including Colorado, Detroit, Vegas and Florida, expressed interest in Boston's power-play quarterback and most of them have the cap space to offer him a higher salary. Should Sweeney and Krug not come to terms, the Bruins may look to trade him to one of his suitors. We will know more in the coming weeks.
Move on from Zdeno Chara
Will the Bruins move on from Zdeno Chara? (Photo: Amy O'Brien/Bruins Daily)
As tough as it is for the fanbase and for the organization to move on from the outstanding captain, model citizen and consummate professional that Chara is, it might be time.
Regardless, Chara's days as a top-pair defenseman is over. The 43-year-old is most certainly past his prime. While he was a significant veteran presence in the locker room, his play on the ice diminished significantly inside the Toronto playoff bubble.
Chara was slow and turned the puck over far more than we are accustomed to seeing from the seasoned vet. In all honesty, Charlie McAvoy carried Chara for the bulk of his minutes this postseason.
The Bruins may re-sign their captain for another one-year minimum deal. Chara had a heck of a run in Boston, but it's time for the Bruins to move on.
Trade for Jack Eichel if he's available
Jack Eichel's name was recently thrown into the NHL rumor mill. (Photo: Angela Spagna/Bruins Daily)
Truly game-changing players hardly reach the market.
Usually, around the trade deadline, we're left debating whether teams should secure a second or third line commodity for a playoff push in exchange for top prospects and/or high draft picks. More often than not, they aren't worth the asking price.
But there are a few players in this league that are worth it. Eichel fits that description to a T.
This past week, TSN's Bob McKenzie reported that he had heard the star forward's name in some trade chatter around the league.
Imagine my surprise when I started making calls today and heard Jack Eichel trade rumours, including unverified chatter he may have at some point recently requested a trade out of BUF and that NYR were amongst interested teams. This, of course, required further investigation.
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) September 28, 2020
So, the face-value review appears as follows: Eichel doesn't want out of BUF; BUF doesn't want to trade Eichel; move along, nothing to see here. Fair enough. But some rumours are worth checking out/mentioning. Which I've now done. Now back to draft prep.
It appears that these rumors are all smoke and mirrors with no substance, but that's beside the point.
If Eichel is available, Sweeney should go after him regardless of cost, draft picks, prospects, or NHL players. The 23-year-old former Hobey Baker winner from Boston University is a bonafide star in this league, amassing 337 points (137 goals, 200 assists) in 354 games during his first five seasons in Buffalo.
Imagine a team lead by Eichel and David Pastrnak — who turned 24 this season — for the next decade. Not only does that make the Bruins an instant contender for the rest of Patrice Bergeron's tenure in Boston, but it also sets the Bruins up for the future.
And that is certainly worth the price.

Trumps Second Major Mistake, the Debate
Posted on January 28, 2016 by clarkgriffith
Donald Trump is leading Republican Presidential Polls due to his alpha male, fearless approach that says " I can beat them all, and have no fear." It resonates because Obama is not an alpha and seems to fear most world leaders. The contrast appeals to voters.
Donald Trump has shown the white feather. A civil war term for soldiers who turned and tan, showing white tail feathers, so to speak. The reason for his deciding to turn and run from the prospect of facing Megan Kelly of Fox News. The candidate says he is doing so because she asked him a tough question before with the suggestion she may do so again. The question she asked at an earlier debate was about Trump's having made sexist statements. He had!
The reason this is Trump's Second Major Mistake is that he tries to show himself as the toughest guy in the campaign. He says, for example, that he will build a great fence on our southern border and make Mexico pay for it. That's tough. Now I suspect the Mexicans will simply laugh at him and we know he will back down. This is his self-made disaster.
The full impact of this will not be seen immediately as true believers will cling to his slippery, sinking side for a while, but not forever. The full impact will hit when voters realize that he ran away from a woman who may ask a tough question again.
Compounding his problem is that he continues to demean and impugn Megan Kelly's obvious talents as a journalist. She is a lawyer and excellent journalist. His efforts further reduce his stature.
Trump's first big mistake was having Sarah Palin endorse him.

Patriots Did It to Themselves
Dan Shaughnessy is one of my favorite sports writers. He is very smart, writes very well and describes the Patriots self-inflicted defeat here.
Patriots brought this loss upon themselves
By Dan Shaughnessy GLOBE COLUMNIST JANUARY 25, 2016
This never should have happened.
The New England Patriots, a team on a mission that started the season 10-0, are bounced from Super Bowl contention because they outsmarted themselves and wound up having to win a road game in a very tough venue in the AFC Championship game.
The top-seeded Denver Broncos played great defense and beat the Patriots, 20-18, at Sports Authority Field Sunday. Intrepid Tom Brady drove the Pats to a last-minute touchdown and pulled them to within 2 points in the closing seconds, but Brady's potential game-tying 2-point conversion pass was tipped and intercepted, ending the Patriots season. And so New England's Revenge Tour that followed the Deflategate mess ended with a whimper in the Mile High City.
Sorry to say this, but the 2015-16 Patriots are something of a myth. They are forever the fortunate champs of the hideous AFC East, but they cannot win a road playoff game. They have not won a road playoff game in more than nine years (San Diego, January 2007).
Besting the pathetic Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, and New York Jets annually assures the Pats a first-round bye and second-round home game every year, but does not prepare them for the noise and disruption of Sports Authority Field in January. The Pats have simply forgotten how to win in enemy territory.
The worst part of this unsatisfying ending is that the Patriots are all done because they did not take care of business in Miami on the final weekend of the regular season.
The Pats could have played the Broncos in Foxborough Sunday. New England's (No. 2) seeding has nothing to do with unfortunate losses to the Eagles and Jets at the end of the season. Those were contested games, played when we still had no clear vision of the AFC playoff alignment. The season finale is quite different. On that day, Jan. 3, the Patriots knew their situation and owned absolute control of their fate. They played a 1 p.m. game in Miami against a team that was ready to hit the golf course. And they tanked. They worked on their running game. They insulted the Dolphins. And they paid the price. With Brady and Rob Gronkowski both exposed to hard hits, the Pats lost to the Dolphins, 20-10. They forfeited the top seed in the AFC. And it came back to bite them Sunday. The Pats got their butts kicked by a team that all of New England laughed at all week.
Remember the narrative? Denver's aging quarterback Peyton Manning was Willie Mays in the 1973 World Series, a fading star who hung around too long. The Pats were indominable after their mighty 7-point playoff win over the Kansas City Chiefs. They were going to surge into Super Bowl 50 and Brady was going to establish himself at the Greatest of All Time by winning his fifth Super Bowl.
So what happened? The Broncos spanked the Patriots Sunday afternoon. Sorry to remind you but Peyton Manning, the guy you were all feeling sorry for earlier in the week, now has won three consecutive AFC Championship games against Tom Brady.
New England gave it a great shot at the finish, and closed to within a 2-point conversion of sending the game into overtime in the final minute. But it was too little, too late. And it should never have come to that juncture.
The Patriots are out of the Super Bowl tournament because they had to win a game on the road and they are no longer a team that can win a playoff game on the road. They've lost their road toughness. Or maybe they are just out of practice.
In the old days, when the Patriots were truly great, they could go to Pittsburgh (twice) and win the AFC Championship game. No more. Now they can only win playoff games in their friendly crib in Foxborough.
That's what makes Sunday's loss so painful. Is there any Patriot fan who thinks the Pats would have lost Sunday's game if it had been played in Foxborough? Of course not. The Broncos are not very good. They are likely to be cannon fodder for the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara. The Broncos look like the same Broncos who were smoked by the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII in East Rutherford, N.J.
The Patriots should be playing in Super Bowl 50. They should have stayed the course and put themselves at Gillette for the entire AFC tournament. But they chose another path. And now they are done. What a waste.
Is America Racist, Larry Elder Says "No"
Is racism still a major problem in America? President Barack Obama certainly thinks so. He said that racism is "in our DNA." Really? If racism is in our DNA, doesn't that it's mean immutable, unchangeable?
But America has changed — and dramatically so. In 1960, 60% of Americans said they would never vote for a black president. Almost 50 years later, the black man who said racism is in America's DNA was elected president, and four years later re-elected. That's only the most obvious example of racial progress. There are many others.
Take inter-racial marriage. As William H. Frey of the Brookings Institution wrote, "Sociologists have traditionally viewed multiracial marriage as a benchmark for the ultimate stage of assimilation of a particular group into society." Black-white marriages were still illegal in 16 states until 1967. And a 1958 Gallup poll found that only 4% of Americans approved of black-white marriages. Today that number is 87%. In 1960, of all marriages by blacks, only 1.7 percent were black-white. Today, it's 12 percent and rising.
Now what about "racial profiling" and abuse of blacks by police? Doesn't that prove that racism remains a major problem? In the summer of 2014, Ferguson, Missouri became ground zero for this accusation when a white policeman shot and killed an unarmed black teenager. While a Department of Justice investigation of the incident cleared the officer of any wrongdoing, it did accuse the city's police department of racial bias.
But what was the Justice Department report's most headline grabbing stat? The gap between the percentage of blacks living in Ferguson — 67% — and the percentage of those stopped by police for traffic violation who are black — 85%. An 18 point discrepancy.
Racism, right? Not so fast.
Blacks comprise 25% of New York City, but account for 55% of those stopped for traffic offenses — a 30-pointdiscrepancy, far bigger than that of Ferguson. Why isn't the NYPD, a department that is now majority minority, considered even more institutionally racist than the Ferguson PD? The answer is you cannot have an honest discussion about police conduct without an honest discussion of black crime.
Though blacks are 13% of the population, they commit 50% of the nation's homicides, and almost always the victim is another black person, just as most white homicides are against other whites. In 2012, according to the Center for Disease Control, police killed 123 blacks, while, by the way, killing over twice that many whites. But that same year blacks killed over 6,000 people — again, mostly other blacks.
What about traffic stops? Unlike when responding to dispatch calls, police officers exercise more discretion when it comes to traffic stops. Therefore "racist" cops can have a field day when it comes to traffic stops, right?
Actually, no.
The National Institute of Justice is the research agency of the Department of Justice. In 2013, the National Institute of Justice published a study called "Race, Trust and Police Legitimacy." Three out of four black drivers admitted that they were stopped by the police for a "legitimate reason." Blacks, compared to whites, were on average more likely to commit speeding and other traffic offenses. The Institute wrote, "Seatbelt usage is chronically lower among black drivers. If a law enforcement agency aggressively enforces seatbelt violations, police will stop more black drivers."
The NIJ's conclusion? These numerical disparities result from "differences in offending" — in other words, not because of racism.
Similarly, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also found that blacks violate traffic laws at higher rates than whites — in every offense, whether it's driving without a license, not wearing a seat belt, not using a child safety seat or speeding.
Is there still racism in America? Of course, there is. But racism is not in America's DNA. Recent history and a lot of research and data prove it.
As liberal Harvard sociologist Orlando Patterson said, America, "is now the least racist white-majority society in the world; has a better record of legal protections of minorities than any other society, white or black; offers more opportunities to a greater number of black persons than any other society, including all of those of Africa."
Patterson, by the way, is black.
Palin Endorses Trump, His Biggest Error
I have been surprised at Donald Trumps success as a presidential candidate and his continued improvement as a candidate. His message resonates with many who are dismayed by the state of the nation. He is smart and his authoritative demeanor is what is being sought by many voters. He is the alpha male who seemed to have the nomination "in the bag."
By allowing and probably seeking Sarah Palin's endorsement, he is showing a tone deaf ear to the voters. Palin's appearance and her statements were awful for his campaign. He will now be tied to a polarizing character and it can only prove damaging.
This action is a response to Ted Cruz's rise in popularity. Still, the Iowa caucus is not a clear indicator of probable success in the race for the nomination. Many Iowa winners are ultimate losers in that race.
I must admit that I once admired Palin and attended her acceptance speech at the St. Paul convention. She was electric. With the passing of time so has her luster. Trump has embraced Palin or vice versa, and voters will now be confronted by the suggestion that a vote for him may be a vote for her as Vice President. The effect will be damaging to Trump.
This is his first big mistake and may well propel Cruz, Rubio, the surging Kasich or a steady Bush into the lead. I just don't like Christie for his Sandy statements that won an election for Obama. Nevertheless, Trump is now tied to Palin and that will make all the difference. Moreover, this endorsement at this time was not necessary. It was his first big mistake.

S.O.S. for a Declining American Navy
Posted on January 7, 2016 by clarkgriffith
Today's 272-ship fleet isn't nearly enough. The U.S. needs 350 ships to meet the rising global dangers.
By SETH CROPSEY
Jan. 6, 2016 7:02 p.m. ET
Late last week China confirmed that it is building its first aircraft carrier from scratch, adding to a fleet that includes a Russian-made carrier. The news cast U.S. military policy in a particularly unsettling light: While China's naval power expands, America has deliberately reduced its presence on the seas. The Navy—after nearly $1 trillion of Defense Department cuts, in part mandated by the 2011 budget-sequestration deal between Congress and the Obama administration—is already down to 272 ships. That means the U.S. fleet is less than half its size at the close of the Reagan administration nearly 30 years ago (and down by 13 ships since 2009).
The Navy had intended to increase the fleet to 308 ships, including 12 that will replace the nation's aging ballistic-missile submarine deterrent. But in a mid-December memo, Defense Secretary Ash Carter told the Navy to cut the number of ships it plans to build in favor of placing more-advanced technology aboard the existing fleet.
Secretary Carter's plan implies that the deterrent effect of a constant U.S. presence in the world is less important than the Navy's ability to fight and win wars with the advanced weapons he favors. That assumption is mistaken. We need both the ability to be present, which demands more ships than we have, and the related power to win a war if deterrence doesn't work. Even the Navy's now-endangered plan for 308 new ships was far below the approximately 350 combat ships needed to achieve this aim.
With danger rising around the world, from the Persian Gulf to the South China Sea, the increasing military and economic threats cannot be ignored. Here is what an expansion of the Navy to the 350 ships needed to safeguard national security would look like:
• Aircraft carriers. Applying power requires the anti-submarine, anti-surface warfare, surveillance and strike ability of aircraft carriers. It requires an increase from the congressionally legislated level of 11 aircraft carriers to 16, enough so that we could maintain at least one carrier strike group in the West Pacific, the Persian Gulf, and return powerful U.S. naval forces to the Mediterranean.
• Supply ships. The ability to shape events on land is linked to the ability to operate independently of it. Supply ships assure this. The U.S. currently has 29 such vessels but it needs to double the number so that it can provision a larger fleet in the West Pacific and return to the Mediterranean in strength.
• Submarines. The Pentagon's annual report last April on Chinese military power predicts that China will have between 69 and 78 submarines by 2020. The U.S. expects to have about 70 submarines in the same year. Yet repairs, maintenance and rotational cycles mean that only about 25% can be deployed at a time and must be spread around the world.
The U.S. will likely retain its qualitative advantage, but the size and quietness of China's submarine fleet means that America needs a total of 90 submarines to provide a healthy nuclear deterrent, shadow or hunt enemy subs, assure dominance in the West Pacific, and meet additional global challenges.
• Amphibious craft. Increased Russian naval presence in the Mediterranean and that of China and Iran as well as Islamic State's occupation of Sirte on the Libyan coast also demand a return to the amphibious presence that the U.S. maintained during the Cold War. The possibility that China would seize and hold islands in the West Pacific as a means of extending its strategic reach also emphasizes the need for greater amphibious capability. The U.S. Navy and Marine Corps should have 45 ships for these missions, an increase of nearly 50% over the current level.
• Large surface combatants, destroyers and cruisers. These remain the U.S. fleet's backbone. They hunt for subs and other surface ships, project power inland, and protect—and are protected by—aircraft carriers. For the foreseeable future they will be the main defense against proliferating missiles that can be launched against ships from land, air and sea. Weighing China's ability to concentrate naval forces in its adjacent seas against the U.S.'s global commitments, a total of 100 large surface combatants—an increase from the planned 88—is the minimum required to protect each of America's 16 carriers with five ships.
• Small combatant ships. Defense Secretary Carter wants to cut the number of the small naval combatants, called littoral combat ships (LCS), to 40 from 52. Even in its upgraded version, the LCS falls short of the ability both to defend itself and take the fight to an enemy. Instead of building 40 ill-defended combatants, the Navy needs a minimum of 30 new small combatants that possess a real frigate's offensive and defensive ability.
• High-speed vessels. Current plans are right when they call for 11 of the low-cost, unarmed and fast twin-hulled ships that can transport small Army or Marine units along with their equipment.
The fleet described here would number 350 ships, about 240 ships fewer than the Reagan Navy, and 13% larger than the combat fleet the Navy currently seeks. Using the Congressional Budget Office's cost estimates, this would require an annual $24 billion shipbuilding expense. That means a 45% increase of the current $16.5 billion shipbuilding budget, or an added $7.5 billion yearly to the shipbuilding portion of the Navy's budget to reach a 350-ship fleet by 2045. China's shipbuilding plans, as well as other global challenges, show why a larger fleet is needed sooner than 30 years from now. Achieving this would increase annual shipbuilding budgets.
Yes, this is expensive, but it's cheaper than surrendering America's global naval dominance—and that's where the nation is headed, given the trend lines as China's fleet grows. The expense can be moderated. One example is the shipbuilding economies of scale found in the 1980s: The contracts for the aircraft carriers USS George Washington and USS Abraham Lincoln were signed on the same day and the great ships were built nearly simultaneously, saving about $700 million. More savings are possible if a new president were to overhaul the top-heavy Pentagon and make sorely needed reforms of military management.
Yet the $7.5 billion difference between the Navy's insufficient current plan and the minimum required to meet foreseeable commitments is a fraction of even the Obama administration's defense budget. What the nation can't afford is to retreat as menaces increase abroad.

Why, How Trump Beats Hillary. Alinsky Works Both Ways
You must concede this about Donald Trump: He does keep his enemies and opponents rocking back on their heels. He does it, as the Wall street Journal's sage James Taranto, observes, by following the very Saul Alinsky tactics that so impressed Hillary as a Wellesley undergrad.
This week he made clear that if Hillary was going to charge him with being part of the "war on women" (the successor, I take it, to her historic "vast right wing conspiracy"), he was going to attack her as an enabler and defender of a serial sexual predator — her husband.
Now, he is accusing Mr. Clinton's defender in chief of being a moralistic hypocrite, applying to her rivals (including Trump) standards from which she excuses her husband. The current kerfuffle is only incidentally about Mr. Clinton at all.
It's a textbook example of Saul Alinsky's fourth tactical rule: "Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules. You can kill them with this, for they can no more obey their own rules than the Christian church can live up to Christianity." (That is as true of feminism as of Christianity.)
And Trump is perfectly situated to level this attack, for precisely the reasons some Chozicks imagine otherwise. He himself is a voluptuary, not a moralist, which immunizes him through pure logic against any accusation of hypocrisy. As a practical matter, his tabloid lifestyle inoculates him against inquisitions into his private life of the sort that snared Newt Gingrich and Bob Livingston during the Clinton impeachment. It all reminds us of a now-quaint anecdote in Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals":
"During a conflict with a major corporation I was confronted with a threat of public exposure of a photograph of a motel "Mr. & Mrs." registration and photographs of my girl and myself. I said, "Go ahead and give it to the press. I think she's beautiful and I have never claimed to be celibate. Go ahead!" That ended the threat.'
Others, knowing that the public memory is short and millennial voters deficient in history have reminded readers of how sordid and extensive Bill Clinton's known abuse of women has been.
Taranto is right as he so often is: The Trump charge is an effective one. Even the notoriously leftwing writer, the Washington Post's Ruth Marcus, agrees the charge is warranted:
"Trump has smeared women because of their looks. Clinton has preyed on them, and in a workplace setting where he was by far the superior. That is uncomfortable for Clinton supporters but it is unavoidably true."
Don Surber observes that Hillary, too, slandered women and adds, "Bill Clinton's return to the center stage reminds people that for a quarter-century, the media has covered up for this lecher, which further makes the case for Trump's attacks on the media."
At Breitbart, John Nolte twisted the knife:
Hillary Clinton and the DC Media were sure they had found the secret weapon to waltz the Lying Benghazi Bungler directly into the Oval Office: a replay of the phony War on Women issue.
It didn't matter who won the nomination in 2016. Mitt Romney was no sexist, so the DC Media fabricated a Todd Akin to beat him to death with.
Then Donald Trump came along, a candidate who not only understands that the rules set by the DC Media are rigged to elect Democrats, but someone competent enough to serially-beat them at their own game.
On this day, Bill Cosby is finally facing justice for the longstanding allegations against him, and thanks only to Trump, so are Bill and Hillary Clinton after 20 years of being shielded by the corrupt media.
When NBC's Savannah Guthrie tried downplaying Bill's abuse by calling the Lewinsky scandal "alleged", Trump made her retract that description — after all, both parties did admit to the misconduct under oath. It was not just alleged — the sexual relationship in the Oval Office with a young subordinate is fact. The media aren't dealing with the usual Republican patsies any more.
In salty language, my online friend "Ignatz Ratzkywatzky" characterized the state of play.
Memorandum has the headline "Donald Trump doesn't understand what 'sexism' is" from some dumb cluck at CNN.
I don't have to even read it to know that real sexism is saying certain trigger words like "HIStory". And it's refusing to admit women are paid 1% of what men are, though every reputable study that controls for factors like education, pregnancy, time in the work force etc demonstrates women make slightly more than men. And most importantly, it's not supporting a woman's right to choose to kill her baby even though ~half of those dead babies are little women.
And of course he goes on to explain that sexism is not arranging trysts with sad, lonely subordinate girls in your employ. Nor is it raping women or pouncing on them after their husband has committed suicide. Nor is it shaming and embarrassing your wife by screwing hundreds of women while married to her. And it's not even shaming and embarrassing the women who have the courage to speak out against your serial adulterer and abuser husband.
Guys like this assbite aren't afraid Trump doesn't know what real sexism is. They're afraid he and we all know what it is and for once are willing to talk about it, rather than their stupid fables.
How bad is it starting to look for Hillary? Even the New York Times concedes, that next to West Virginia, Trump's strongest support may be in New York State.
He fares best in a broad swath of the country stretching from the Gulf Coast, up the spine of the Appalachian Mountains, to upstate New York.
Mr. Trump's best state is West Virginia, followed by New York. Eight of Mr. Trump's 10 best congressional districts are in New York, including several on Long Island. North Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana and South Carolina follow.
If Trump is the nominee and the Republicans win New York, the electoral college vote tally for Hillary looks exceedingly difficult. As Michael Walsh reports, if Trump takes New York, he can easily win.
Perhaps it wasn't such a great idea for Hillary to try to reprise the tired, ridiculous War on Women campaign theme or for her party to dump on the blue collar white base that they rode to victory so many times.
