OPINION: Who is the 'we' that Kenny talks about?
By Southern Star Team
GHOULISHLY moralising on reports that the remains of almost 800 babies had been flung into a septic tank at a mother and baby home run by the Bon Secours sisters in Tuam, our esteemed Taoiseach, Enda Kenny, seemed unaware of the ironic significance of what he was saying.
'We dug deeply to bury our compassion and mercy,' he declared. 'No nuns broke into our homes to take our children – we gave them up. We gave them up because of our morbid and perverse pursuit for respectability.'
But who is the 'we' that Kenny is talking about? Does it include the organisation that he leads?
The plain people of Ireland stand in awe at the dramatic blurb from his Blueshirt scriptwriters, but the historical fact is that Kenny's political forbears, in conjunction with professional dissemblers in Fianna Fáil, helped fabricate the context in which the cruelty in Ireland's mother and baby homes took place.
The Establishment politicos – from WT Cosgrave to De Valera – who enthusiastically promoted Ireland as a Catholic and morally-pure country did so knowing that they were enshrining an obscurantist and narrow Catholic moral code as the law of the land.
The result was that for decades the moral conduct of the people took precedence over welfare. Indeed so appreciative were FG-FF politicos of ecclesiastical advice in the running of the country that they entrusted to the Catholic Church the task of ensuring individuals and entire communities adhered publicly to an oppressive code of morality and manners.
Hence the application of the Censorship of Films Act, 1923 (amended in 1970 and now largely irrelevant) and the Censorship of Publications Act, 1929 (which although still in force was substantially amended in 1967); plus the bizarre warnings from bishops on the moral hazards facing young people after local dances on a Sunday night. Old timers will remember the priests in the 1960s from the Macroom area who patrolled boreens, rooting out the courting couples.
The truth is that Fine Gael and Fianna Fail were complicit in enabling the Catholic Church rule the roost in matters of health, education and social welfare. Indeed, until the Late Late Show invented sex ('There was no sex in Ireland before television,' said Oliver J Flanagan, Fine Gael TD) and Bishop Eamon Casey fathered a son, the only ideological topic of significance that concerned Church and State was the equation of public morality with sexual morality.
And into that cesspit of clerical-FG-FF humbug fell the 'unmarried mothers' – regarded then as pariahs who transgressed the moral code in much the same way as prostitutes and who were especially perceived by the FG middle class as immoral people.
In the eyes of Catholic Ireland and of the party political outfits, sex before marriage was a mortal sin and an illegitimate child was living proof of a girl's depravity. Worse still, to keep the child and parade him or her in public was an affront to 'respectability and morality.'
Unmarried women were dumped in mother and baby houses similar to those in Tuam and Bessborough. The argument was made that, if the regime in those places was severe ,at least shelter that the mother would not have got in her own home was provided.
Reformed sinners
Once committed by parents, doctor or priest, the unfortunate girl was hidden from society. Concealed too were the consequences of her actions. And, with the nuns' assistance, the 'sinner' was open to reform and to the strong probability of no more illegitimate children.
Fears for future of Schull's big harbour development
As far as the State was concerned, religious orders were the best agency for putting the offender back on the straight and narrow. Better still, there was no overt government involvement and no State-imposed legal rules and regulations other than perfunctory recommendations.
In other words, in the effort to preserve the image of a morally-pure country, Fine Gael and its political chums in Fianna Fáil grossly ignored their responsibility of care to unmarried mothers and children.
Loyalty to Church
Fine Gael hypocrisy began as early as 1919 when the party's future leader, WT Cosgrave, vigorously opposed a provision in Sinn Fein's first constitution for State-sponsored medicine and welfare for children.
Jump forward to 1974, and to the social change that was on its way, and we see Fine Gael introducing a family planning bill that WT Cosgrave's son, Liam Cosgrave, voted against on moral grounds!
Grovelling was par for the course and, in 1948, the first decision of the Fine Gael dominated inter-party government was to send a telegram to the Pope affirming the government's willingness 'to repose at the feet of Your Holiness the assurance of our filial loyalty and our devotion to Your August Person, as well as our firm resolve to be guided in all our work by the teaching of Christ and to strive for the attainment of a social order in Ireland based on Christian principles.'
Two years later when Dr Noel Browne introduced legislation for post-natal support for mothers and babies, the Catholic hierarchy condemned the proposal. Again it was a Fine Gael Taoiseach, John A Costello, who obsequiously bent the knee: 'I am an Irishman second, and I am a Catholic first, and I accept without qualification in all respects the teaching of the hierarchy and the church to which I belong.'
And, that was that!
Even Brendan Corish, Labour Party leader from 1960 to 1977, declared he was a Catholic first and an Irishman second. What's more, during a conversation in a meeting room in Castle Street, Cork, the 'Seventies will be Socialist' hero privately revealed to this scribe that he also was a proud member of the Knights of Columbanus!
And then things changed. In a tsunami of secularism that has lasted from the early Eighties to the present day, Catholicism as a definition of Irishness took a battering. As if by magic, the power and effectiveness of bishops and priests disappeared, as did the legislative protection for moral stances on contraception, censorship, and divorce.
Commentator Tom Inglis describes the current situation as follows: 'the Catholic Church no longer acts as a sacred canopy for social, political and economic life. Religious life has become increasingly differentiated from the rest of social life, privatised and compartmentalised into specific times, places and contexts. At the same time, the influence of the Church over the State, the media, the public sphere and civil society in general has declined.'
Although the horrors of Tuam have to be approached within the context of the decline and fall of the Irish Catholic Church, let's not forget either the historical complicity of Fine Gael in the events. The time has come for that party to acknowledge its role and its responsibility in the demonisation of whole sections of Irish society – and for less of Kenny's sanctimonious cant!

Saskatchewan Plant Words Tour
Introduction: Plants at Risk in Saskatchewan
What are they, and why should we protect them?
Plants are an important part of our natural environment. In Saskatchewan, there are over 1,450 species of plants. About 400 of those species are at risk because of habitat loss or climate change, or because only a few plants still exist in the province. If these plants are not protected, they may disappear completely from Saskatchewan.
Help us protect plants by learning about them! Click on the button Plants at Risk in Saskatchewan above to see a complete list of plants at risk. From that list you can choose a particular plant to learn about.
You will see that each plant has a common name (for example, "sunflower") and a scientific name (for example, "Helianthus tuberosus"). The scientific name is in Latin and is made up of two parts, one for the genus and one for the species of plant. Latin names are used so that they can be understood by people around the world.
You will also see the family that each plant belongs to, but what is most interesting is where the plant lives, in what ecoregion it is found, and why it is at risk.
Once you've read about the plant, try playing the games in the My Plant section to see what you've learned!

OLYMPIA — A former spokesman for President George W. Bush is considering a campaign for U.S. Senate in Washington state.
Scott Stanzel said Monday he will look at whether to challenge Democratic Sen. Maria Cantwell in a race next year. He said he won't decide until after he gets married in September.
Stanzel said he believes Washington voters are anxious for new leadership, particularly on the economy. Cantwell has been in the Senate for more than a decade.
Stanzel campaigned against the proposed state income tax for high-earners last year and currently operates a public relations firm in Seattle. He was a deputy White House press secretary under Bush.

Oyaje Idoko – Top 10 CEOs of 2021
December 30, 2021 January 5, 2022 adminTop 10 CEOs of 2021
Mr. Oyaje Idoko is an entrepreneur and founder and chief executive officer, Layer3 – one of the leading IT companies in Nigeria. He is an expert in design and network engineering and led the team that built the first fixed wireless broadband network in Nigeria.
He has built a wealth of experience in the information technology and services industry. Combining rare skills with strong entrepreneurial capability, Idoko has built a business that serves many banks in Nigeria.
His company runs a 24-hour network management and support centre that provides round the clock remote monitoring and support services for its customers' IT and network infrastructures. The centre also serves the company's expansive metro fiber network infrastructure that guarantees optimal performance and quick fault resolutions.
Idoko established Layer3 in 2005 powered by a large pool of technically certified and experienced experts that are behind the company's wide service reach to several African countries. His aim is to place his company's services at the forefront of clients' business transformation ambitions.
"We combine our knowledge of world-class technology solutions, in addition to our partnership with some of the global technology providers to deliver exceptional value for our clients. Our solutions cut across all sectors and include the innovation of the data centre, software, server and storage systems, mobile device management, security and network infrastructure solutions and access solutions, including broadband and VPN services", the company stated in its service profile.
Layer3 is counted among the fastest growing network and security infrastructure companies in West Africa, providing award-winning services, including managed and cloud services, network security, IT infrastructure management, virtualization and mobile device management solutions.
The company assures of the capability of its unique model that integrates best-of-breed technologies from global leaders such as Juniper Networks, Blue Coat, Polycom, AirWatch, F5, Extreme Networks and VMware, coupled with its next-generation metro fiber networks to offer unparalleled services and after sales support to even the most demanding customers.
It offers access services, managed services, network and infrastructure services and Layer3 Cloud.
"For 15 years, we have supported organisations with the technologies they need to scale and thrive, in line with our mission to make organisations and individuals excel through technology," Idoko said.
The Layer3's boss started his entrepreneurial journey quite early at the age of 12 and worked barely for five years after graduation from the university before setting up the company that has been running since 2005.
He is a man of special skill, so gifted that he would programme over 1000 lines of code at the age of 12 – a ring of the techie badge he wears today. He obtained a Bachelor's degree in communications engineering from the Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Nigeria in 1998.
He moved on to kick off his formal career as a network engineer with Prodigy International. Shortly after, he led the team that built the first fixed wireless broadband network in Nigeria at Startech Connections.
He attended Stanford University Graduate School of Business Executive Program for Growing Companies in 2015 and also the Stanford Seed Transformation Program Certificate in 2019.
Layer3's services are utilised by organizations in various parts of the country as well as in other African countries. This means domesticating the hosting of data generated by clients in the country. Idoko points out that this is the trend across the world where countries are increasingly holding data generated within their domain in data centres located within their borders.
He is drawing attention to the need for organizations in the public and private sectors in Nigeria to follow the global trend. "The whole notion about where your data resides is something we need to take very seriously.
"There's been a lot of talk about data being the new oil. If we say that data is the new oil, why would we want someone else to be in custody of our 'oil'?"
He said Nigeria is disadvantaged in many respects by failing to locate vital IT infrastructures locally. He is quite confident that Nigeria's economy would realise significant benefits by leveraging home-grown IT facilities instead of relying on foreign cloud service providers.
"We see the impact of this in the amount of foreign exchange leaving the country as payment for these services. But we have the infrastructure to provide these services locally. We think it's important to take charge of what is our own," Idoko said.
The company's solutions cut across all sectors and include the innovation of the data centre, software, server and storage systems, mobile device management, security and network infrastructure solutions and access solutions, including broadband and VPN services.
The services have impacted critical economic sectors such as education, health, and start-up innovation ecosystem through its corporate social responsibility projects and interventions. The company has continually supported the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control with free bandwidth, which has enabled the agency to strengthen its communications and response capacities in the battle against the COVID-19 pandemic.
The company's top notch services are supported by its combination of world-class technology solutions knowhow with its partnership with some of the global technology providers, which has it to deploy solutions that minimize risks, maximize flexibility and optimize the use of capital with results that beat customers' expectations.
Idoko describes his work as meaningful and transformative. "There is evidence of this in the wins that our solutions have helped our clients achieve. We want the coming years to yield even greater successes for them, and for us," he said.

Waffle is just awesome bread, said John Green.
Waffle is important! "We need to remember what's important in life: friends, waffles, work. Or waffles, friends, work. Doesn't matter, but work is third." ― Leslie Knope Just a silly quote I found on the internet. What I do remember though is our annual trips to Cape Town while growing up in Ceres. My oh my, it was such a treat and we used to save every penny we could lay our hands on just to spend it all at the factory shops. The factory shops that I now know were not at all cheaper, we just fell for the marketing scam called "Factory Shop prices"!
During the day, we would stop at a Milky Lane. Although all the ice-cream treats were so tempting, the waffles seemed more buck for your money, if we did not have enough money, we could even share, it was that big. Oh and the selection of sauces where just such a luxury for this country kid! My mom did not have a waffle iron, the closest we came to that was a Snackwich machine and it wasn't even close. So our Milky Lane trips to have a waffle will stay with me forever.
While I borrowed my friend's waffle iron ( yes, I still don't have my own) to make the gluten-free Banana Waffles, I played around a bit and decided to make a savory version, but a waffle that is good for you, not the syrupy version of my childhood!
Seeing that we are trying so desperately trying to stay away from the bad carbs, I saw the butternut lurking in the vegetable basket and decided to give it a go. Well, I was pleasantly surprised when mu plan worked, but more so when my family finished all the butternut waffles.
Place all the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth and creamy.
Heat the waffle iron and brush the grids with butter.
Spoon some of the mixture on the grids and close the waffle iron as per normal. When golden brown, serve with a delicious mushroom and blue cheese sauce.
Oh butternut waffles…they look wonderful.

Rosie Shannon's life is shattered when, at the tender age of four, her mother dies, leaving her and her brother Robbie in the hands of their self-obsessed father, who ultimately abandons them. After a brief, deeply traumatic period with their Aunt Agatha, the children finally find a home with "Tiny" Katie and Jamie McFarland. What this couple lack in riches they make up for in the unconditional love they shower on the traumatized children.
The children's struggle is set against the dramatic backdrop of Northern Ireland in the 1920s and '30s. The Catholic/Protestant divide is opening up and the foundations of the island's "troubles" are being laid. As the Depression hits hard, the people are jobless and hungry.

Set in sizzling Miami, the trendy city rocking to an Art Deco beat and hiding many secrets behind the turquoise and flamingo facades—step behind the glittering surfaces to discover the startling BETRAYAL UNDER THE PALMS.
From the French town of Vendome, a twelve-year-old and his little sister are recruited into the ill-fated children's crusade of 1212. Charles and Ann Alexander find themselves among thousands of other European children bound for Jerusalem in a desperate attempt to free that most Holy Land from Islamic rule.
In the ensuing weeks they experience many exciting adventures: an encounter with a "witch" in the Dark Castle, a clash with highwaymen, an attempted kidnapping by outlaws, a storm at sea, and a climactic battle with pirates to rescue their father from imprisonment. In the middle of all this, Charles learns a few things about the frustrations of young love.
Forced to depart the crusade, Charles and Ann bid farewell to their fellow crusaders. Even as the other children set sail eastward for the Holy Land, Charles secretly vows to somehow rejoin the crusade and the little girl with whom he feels himself to be so very much in love.
Eight years after the Louisiana Purchase, the western frontier of the United States extended only to the Mississippi River. There, in the soggy, inhospitable Delta of today's Missouri Bootheel, hardscrabble pioneers suddenly found themselves fighting for their lives against horrendous odds. The Great New Madrid Earthquakes of 1811–12 left death and unimaginable destruction in their wake. Nuetzel chronicles the terror witnessed through the eyes of panicked victims as he recounts Vade Boncoeur's struggle for his family's survival. But could it happen today? Nuetzel firmly believes that it will, and he guides us through the sobering and shocking consequences of a twenty-first century Armageddon.
Andy was born in Chicago at the height of the Great Depression. He never had a lemonade stand. But what he did have was an indomitable spirit that saw him ravage each day upon awakening. To be sure, he did not always succeed in life: failing to become an altar boy and sadly disappointing a loving grandmother; and failing himself when he did not win over his beautiful classmate, Mary. However, he was a gifted athlete who excelled in baseball and boxing. He cared deeply for his family and sought ways to lessen their inherent burden. He eagerly learned from those he held in high regard; their values soon became his values. The qualities of caring and sharing were commonplace. They became bonded for life during a tumultuous time in the history of this great country.
This is a tale of a young lad, named Bobby Murphy, who did just that. As soon as he reached that magic number of eighteen, when all boys become men, he beat feet to the recruiting station and inked his way into the United States Marine Corps! That was his first mistake.
His second was to be shipped off to Vietnam, where he was introduced to the vagaries of guerrilla warfare. The enemy be the civilians and the civilians be the enemy. Kiddies to oldsters, each can…and will…blow you away.
Toss in racial tensions between black and white soldiers—only to be kicked into overdrive by the murder of Martin Luther King.
Between 1915 and the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, six soldiers played a critical role in the re-emergence of a Jewish military ethos after a gap of almost 2,000 years. All six were officers in the British army. All six were Zionists. All six believed that Jews had to organize themselves into a coherent and proactive military force. And all six fought against institutionalized anti-Semitism on the part of the British army authorities.
Three of the soldiers were Christians: Irishman John Henry Patterson and Englishmen Richard Meinertzhagen and Orde Wingate. Three of the soldiers were Russian-born Jews: Vladimir Ze'ev Jabotinsky, Joseph Trumpeldor and Eliezer Margolin.
6 Officers, 2 Lions, and 750 Mules traces the contribution of these officers to the creation of a military doctrine that directly helped the newborn state successfully withstand and defeat the invading Arab armies in 1948.

Herbal medicine is arguably the oldest form of medicine and has been used by man for millennia.
Herbal medicine is the use of plant materials to enhance well being and treat disease. Today, people all over the world are still using herbal remedies, which have been past down through the generations, which increasingly, scientific research is validating.
Herbs are used as medicines for both man and beast, they are used to flavour food, enhance taste and are common ingredients in natural skin care products, soaps, potpourris, ointments, food and many other areas of human life. They have even found their way into remedies for our pets and livestock.
Up until about 200 years ago, before western medicine was conceived of, herbal remedies where the only medicine available to man for treatment of illnesses and diseases. The Chinese and Egyptians developed traditional systems of medicine (Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic Medicine, respectively) which incorporate a systematic approach to the diagnosis and treatment of disease.
Since the early 19th century, methods of chemical analysis became more sophisticated and chemists began making their own synthetic versions of the ingredients originally found in herbs, beginning the transition from raw herbs to synthetic pharmaceuticals.
Today, pharmaceutical companies are still heavily researching herbs/plants for 'new medicines' that may prove useful in treating many of today's diseases, for which orthodox medicine has little or no answers.
Since the advent of drug manufacture, users of pharmaceutical drugs have increasingly experienced more and more side-effects as well as resistance to these modified forms of medications.
This begs the question, why try to fix something, when it's not broken? Herbal medicine is working as well today as it has for hundreds of years and with respect to side-effects, herbal medicine causes far fewer adverse reactions and related health problems than their synthetic counterparts. In addition, herbal medicines are more easily tolerated because the constituents are not of a synthetic type, which are known to have potential long term, and sometimes irreversible side effects.
This is not to say that taking any old herb is safe, far from it. Herbal medicines need to be treated with great respect and due diligence, as they too can cause harm if not used appropriately. However, herbal medicines in general do not pose the same risks of side-effects or adverse reactions as their synthetic counterparts. The human metabolism is designed to metabolise naturally occurring substances, and is not always able to metabolise synthetic drugs fully, potentially causing a myriad of health problems and occasionally deadly side-effects.
Choosing a good, qualified medical herbalist can present a challenge, as this profession is not well regulated in many countries. It is important therefore to make sure that the herbalist you seek is a member of a professional association. In Australia there are several associations such as ANTA, ATMS, and others. Europe, Canada and the US also have professional associations that will be able to help in finding a qualified, reputable medical herbalist.
It is important to take time and care in choosing the right herbalist - your health and wellbeing depends on it.

Sometimes when I publish a blog post, I feel silly doing so. Why should it be okay to talk about subjects of food, nutrition, feeling good in our body, and Whole Nourishment when the world has real problems? The war in Syria, terrorist attacks in Europe, Brexit, the ludicrous election of Trump, the hate displayed in Charlottesville and around the world, and most recently, a typhoon in Asia, a massive landslide in Switzerland, the death of 5 climbers in Austria, and the absolute devastation of hurricane Harvey in Houston. I could name more, but that's not the point. It's important to acknowledge the state of the world and keep going.
I always come back to this, perhaps overly-simplistic, conclusion: If we don't have well, able-bodied, energized individuals to respond to our community's most pressing needs, we don't progress as a society.
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs suggests there are certain basic human needs that must be met before fulfilling more complex ones. Food is a fundamental need. Therefore, being proactive about our wellness is not trivial, it's practical. The key, however, is to shape a vision of wellness that uniquely works for each of us and our lifestyle, rather than chase after a fake, unrealistic one-size-fits-all standard, propagated by media. Anytime we diet, restrict, or even "eat clean" out of a desire to control or lose weight, we reinforce a primal sense of deprivation in our body and mind, undermining efforts to fulfill our most basic needs.
So I continue to do what I do, hoping it makes a difference for someone, somewhere. And today that leaves us with a small bite of pleasure that's worth celebrating in spite of it all.
It's fig season here! I thought I'd miss picking wild blackberries in the forest behind our house in Switzerland. But we have fabulous fig trees in our Madrid neighborhood, which more than makes up for the blackberries. One tree I secretly pick from on morning walks. The other tree is more than 60 years old and belongs to our neighbors across the street. They generously share their figs, and after bringing us a second bowl-full last week, I decided to do something special.
These crostini are a twist on the Balsamic Fig Pistachio Toast you may remember from a few years ago. In today's version, the combination of figs, smoked mozzarella, mint, lemon, and honey is simple but delicious -- the perfect way to highlight fresh figs. Hope you guys enjoy!
Toast baguette slices and place on a serving platter. Immediately drizzle each slice with extra-virgin olive oil.
Top with smoked mozzarella and fig slices, overlapping figs slightly. Tear mint leaves (if large) and place on top and in between fig slices. Drizzle with honey, making sure honey falls onto sections of bread and cheese. Finish with lemon zest.

Upjohn Institute staff addressed the feasibility of a Promise-type college scholarship program for Beloit, Wisconsin. The Upjohn Institute estimated the first-dollar, middle-dollar, and last-dollar costs for a Beloit Promise over a 10-year time frame. The cost estimate was based on details that were provided by the planning committee regarding student eligibility, eligible post-secondary institutions, and time frame for the program.
A "middle-dollar" program required students to complete their FAFSA and then fill the gap between federal/state financial aid and college cost. The last-dollar estimate was calculated using two different methods, one relying on a survey of the past five years of college-going patterns by Beloit graduates and an assessment of average financial aid granted by the institutions they attend, and the other based on the average institutional aid received by students through programs, such as the Denver Scholarship Foundation, that required students to apply for private scholarships.

MR CHRISTOPHER. HAMES (instructed by Brethertons) appeared on behalf of the Applicant.
THE RESPONDENT appeared in Person.
MISS PENNY LOGAN (solicitor) appeared on behalf of the Guardian.
MR. JUSTICE PETER JACKSON:
This is an application under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction 1980. It concerns K who was born on 2nd February 1999 and is now fourteen years old.
The applicant is his mother, who is thirty-five years old and presently lives in Australia. She seeks an order for K's return to Australia and in particular to Western Australia, so that his future can be decided there. That application is opposed by K's father and by his Guardian, Mr. Bob McGavin of the CAFCASS High Court Team.
This is the final hearing of the proceedings, the matter having passed through several interim stages.
The background briefly is that the father is British and lives in the West of England. The mother is a national both of Britain and Australia, her father having been an Australian and her mother having been English. She spent some early years in Australia before coming to live in this country.
The parents married in 1999 and lived in the area where the father now lives, but unfortunately in October 2002, when K was three, they separated, divorcing in 2004. Since the parents separated, K has lived with his mother in this country up to the end of 2010, although it is right to say that there were several periods of extensive foreign travel for K with his mother in the later years. During that time K kept in contact with his father with whom he has an important relationship. I have the impression that the state of affairs between the parents fluctuated, being difficult for some of the time and better at other points.
In December 2010, when K was eleven, he left England and went with his mother to Australia for a trip that was intended to last for a year with the consent of the father. The initial plan to go for a year was extended with the father's reluctant agreement to a second year, but the mother then wished to extend it for a further period of some two more years something to which the father had not yet given his approval by the time we reach January 2013.
During the time that K was in Australia, the father maintained contact by making visits himself and there were also two occasions on which the mother returned in 2012 and K spent time with his father in England. The second of these occasions began on 23rd December 2012 and on that occasion the mother and K came over for Christmas. K spent some of that time with his father and was due (and indeed was promised by the father) to return on 16th January 2013.
However, on 16th January 2013 K remained with his father. His father refused to return him, saying that K did not want to go back to Australia with his mother. This came at the end of a period of toing and froing in which K said different things to different people and on occasion to everyone together about what he wanted.
The mother was not able to remain in England, but returned to Australia where she launched these proceedings in very short order and that is how the matter comes before the court.
During the course of the proceedings, the mother has been represented, and on today's evidence extremely well represented, by counsel. The father has presented his own case with his own mother being here in support. K's case has been presented on his behalf by his Guardian and his solicitor, Miss Logan.
As part of the enquiries the Guardian has interviewed K twice, on 20th February 2013 and 8th April 2013, and has filed a report after each interview. He has observed K in his father's home, spoken to his mother by telephone and carried out certain other surrounding enquiries.
That then is the general background. Fuller details are set out in the helpful chronology that is as part of Mr. Hames' written presentation.
The matter that the court essentially has to decide is whether, in the circumstances to which I will refer in a little more detail, the application of the mother is defeated by virtue of one defence only under the Hague Convention. There is no doubt that, at the time in January when K was due to return to Australia, he was habitually resident there and his mother was exercising rights of custody in respect of him. There is, therefore, I find, under Article 12 of the Convention, that K was wrongfully retained in this country by his father at that time. In the circumstances, in the absence of a defence under Article 13, an order for his return must follow. The relevant part of Article 13 of the Convention provides that:
"The Judicial or Administrative Authority may also refuse to order the return of the child if it finds that the child objects to being returned and has attained an age and degree of maturity at which it is appropriate to take account of its views."
There are therefore certain gateway conditions (as they have been called) which must be met if this defence is to be made out. Firstly, the court must consider whether a child in fact objects to returning, distinguishing an objection from a preference or a strong expression of view. Next, the court must consider whether the child is of sufficient age and maturity to make it appropriate to take account of those views.
Having conducted that assessment, the court then goes on to consider a wider question in deciding whether to exercise its discretion to refuse to order a return or not. I have been referred to a number of authorities which I mention for reference. In particular the decision of the House of Lords in Re M (Abduction: Zimbabwe) [2007] UKHL 55 and the decision of the former President, Sir Mark Potter, in DL v. H [2009] EWHC 3074 (Fam). In those decisions, guidance on the exercise of discretion is helpfully set out and in particular I have been assisted by paragraph 46 of the opinion of Baroness Hale in the former case and paragraph 66 of the judgment in the latter case. I will not lengthen this judgment by reading in that guidance. The nub of it, as I understand it, is that the court must consider, not only the overall purposes of the Convention, but also the question of the child's welfare in the light of the strength, soundness and validity of the views that have been expressed.
In this matter I have written evidence from the parents, which demonstrates their individual perspectives on this situation; but, on the question of a child's objections, I centrally have the evidence of Mr. McGavin. He was very impressed by K who he describes as likeable, engaging, polite, well mannered, thoughtful and sensitive. He considers that K is of a maturity that is appropriate for his chronological age or possibly, in some respects, a little in advance. In relation to K's view, he reports that he is quite clear that he does not want to go back. This is because he regards England as his home and considers himself to be British and not Australian, the majority of his family are here and he hopes that, in due course, his mother will also return. He expressed a balanced view of the good and bad aspects of life in each country, perhaps a more balanced view in February than in April; but even this month he records to Mr. McGavin good aspects of his life in Australia and the people, both family and close friends, that he knows there. Mr. McGavin says that he was struck by K. He had not, in his view, been burdened by influence, still less by coaching; and he spoke from the heart, from his own experience and in a balanced way.
Mr. McGavin made a number of particular points. He accepted that the current arrangements with K having been in this country for less than three months are in their early stages, although settling, and that there is something to be said for the idea that there may still be a honeymoon period. However, he emphasised that a large part of K's thinking was centred on his mother's quite strong rejection of what he saw as his home area. While she sees it as an unsuitable environment, he does not, and being away from there has led to what Mr. McGavin described as profound feelings of loss. Mr. McGavin drew attention to the currently tense situation surrounding K's relationship with his mother, which has made recent telephone contact awkward for them both. He felt that this was likely to improve once the main decision had been taken.
Mr. McGavin said that he was in no doubt that K objects to returning to Australia. It is not that he objects to returning to his mother; indeed, if his mother was in this country he might choose to live with her for at least part of the time. His objection was to being away from what he saw as his home area. Mr. McGavin underlined that for him as a CAFCASS officer to make this assessment was a deliberate and considered conclusion and not one that he lightly arrives at.
So far as the future is concerned Mr. McGavin was hopeful that K would settle further in England, but quite pessimistic about the situation that would exist if he was returned to Australia. He believes that that would make K potentially very angry with his mother; that he might settle at a new school there, but he probably would not.
Mr. McGavin's evidence, which extends beyond what I have just summarised, should be read as a whole. I accept it. He is extremely experienced in making assessments of this kind and his evidence was given with clarity and, I thought, with insight into this difficult situation.
On behalf of the mother, Mr. Hames spoke to his written detailed presentation. He does not seriously challenge the assessment that K objects to a return to Australia, but he makes a number of points deserving careful consideration about welfare issues with regard to the exercise of discretion and, expressed somewhat differently, as a counterweight to evidence about K's degree of maturity and insight.
The mother's case is that K is a more vulnerable child than is suggested by others and that he has been manipulated by his father in a deceitful manner into not returning. The issues that the mother raises can be listed in this way:
The fact that she has always been K's primary carer and that the father is inexperienced in this role.
Further it is clear that, as the person who has had the most to do with K's upbringing, the mother is entitled to considerable credit for his many good qualities.
She points to the father's relatively new found domestic arrangements, with a girlfriend, her own young son and a child on the way and the uncertainty that that might bring to K's life.
She points to the difficulties that she has had in maintaining in contact this year by telephone with K, compared to the ease with which he saw his father over the years as she submits.
She points to K's somewhat uneven school career and the difficulties that he has had in getting on with his classmates, both in England and Australia, at different times. K's current school situation is somewhat transient in that he is a year behind and in the lowest sets until he finds his level. In contrast, the mother says that she has a new school lined up for K in Australia to which he was successfully admitted before Christmas.
She points to the losses of friendships and family in Australia. Apart from herself, there is a great uncle there and some good family friends.
The mother further points out that K had mixed views as to whether he wanted to return to Australia as recently as January. She says that he came down in favour of remaining here because of pressure, not only from his father and his father's family, but also from his maternal grandmother (her mother). She says that, at the moment, K is in a honeymoon period.
All of these factors, the mother says, show that K does not and indeed could not have insight into what is really in his own best interests; that his views should be accordingly given less weight and that a welfare assessment would lead to the conclusion that he should return to Australia, following which, if he remained unhappy, she might return with him to this country. If not, the Australian Court would be the court to make decisions and matters could, as she sees it, be done properly.
My assessment of K's situation is that he has been asked to sustain a relationship with both of his parents, who he loves, across continents. Whatever the rights and wrongs of what took place in January, the present situation arises from K's parents demanding too much of him. The position that arose at that point was very distressing for everybody and indeed has been described by more than one participant as appalling, but I consider that the bigger picture demonstrates that this is a child who had been placed under stress that became impossible for him to bear. I hope that both his parents reflect on that and take steps to make sure that it does not happen again.
I have heard nothing of any significance to suggest that K's mother is not a good mother to him or his father a good father. I have heard nothing seriously to suggest that the life that was on offer to K in Australia was not a good one. He had the good care of his mother, good schooling, good friends and some relations who he likes. Likewise, although there were probably equal difficulties in England, I have heard nothing to suggest that K's life here, both before and now, is not a perfectly good one. Both have pros and cons and, as K will no doubt discover, life will not be entirely plain sailing in any environment that he settles in.
I have no doubt, like Mr. McGavin, that K's views amount to objections to returning to Australia or that, in the light of his age and maturity, I should take them into account. I agree with the submission on behalf of the mother that a boy in his position cannot be expected to see all aspects of the matter. As I said in the course of the hearing, why should he when his parents cannot? They, by separating and by failing to find a means of trusting each other, have at times allowed their own, no doubt quite understandable, priorities to cloud their ability to support their son.
As to K's views about life in Australia and life in England, he may or may not be right; but his views are, in my judgement, perfectly rational. He has a sufficient degree of insight, if not complete insight, for me to give them considerable weight. It is quite understandable that he should regard home as this country and as the losses involved in a prolonged stay in Australia as being very great. I would not dismiss any of the points raised by Mr. Hames on behalf of the mother, but these are all points that are broadly within K's grasp and he has formed his view about them. At his age, his view deserves respect.
I have considered, as I am required to do, the considerations that underpin this important Convention, which binds us by obligation to other States, in this case Australia. Where that is concerned, I do not consider that the ties of this child with Australia are of the strongest nature though he was habitually resident there. I consider it relevant that he was to go for a year and then for two years and then for whatever uncertain period the parents might or might not have agreed upon. While I wish to express no detailed view about the behaviour of either parent in January, it is clear that this was not a naked abduction but something more complicated than that, which had its roots in K's earlier childhood and in the relationship between his parents.
Taking account of all these matters, in further considering K's welfare, I reach the conclusion that the court should exercise its discretion not to return him to Australia. The difficulties to which that might give rise are obvious and the uncertainties and, quite probably, temporary nature of a return must also be recognised. Valuing highly, as I do, the principal that in normal circumstances decisions about children should be taken in the country of their habitual residence, I find that the exception relied upon by the father and the Guardian has been made out in this case and that future questions concerning K's welfare should be decided in this court. I will dismiss the summons brought by the mother.
I will direct that, by a date to be included in the order, the parties are to agree future arrangements for K in terms of his residence and his contact with each parent both face to face and indirectly. Failing agreement there will be a report by the children's Guardian on the issues between the parents and the matter will be listed before me with a short time of an hour or two sometime in the first three weeks in June. That will enable any outstanding disagreements between the parents to be resolved once each of them, and in particular K, have had the opportunity to absorb the decision that the court has now taken. The order will provide for that hearing to be cancelled upon the parties filing an agreement.
Although this decision will be understandably bitter for K's mother who has given him so much, the responsibility for rebuilding falls, in my view, on both parents and possibly at this time unequally upon the father's shoulders. It is not a solution for K in the long run to go from not seeing enough of his father to not seeing enough of his mother. That is not a stable foundation and, doing the work that he does, K's father will understand the importance of building solidly for the future. I am optimistic that, given a little time and the help of the Guardian and of CAFCASS Legal resources, these parents will have the sense not to put K through any more contested legal proceedings.


And then began my obsession with tutorials. I found http://www.makeit-loveit.com/ and pinterest, my two new loves. On pinterest I found the soft block tutorial and I decided, "What the heck! I've got some extra material!" I decided, however, that I wanted my soft blocks bigger than the ones I found, so I cut out 6 square to be 8x8" instead of 5x5".
It wasn't too difficult after that. It was just a matter of positioning the squares like a Christian Cross, then sewing them right sides together, sewing a ribbon looped over in the middle of one of edges*, and leaving one edge open so I could stuff in some fluff!
*Double check how you've pinned in the ribbon. It would be really annoying if you pinned it wrong, sewed it, and ended up with ribbons inside your soft block instead of outside.

Mountainfilm On Tour Savannah screens powerful 'Satan and Adam'
Director V. Scott Balcerek talks about his new documentary on an unlikely musical duo
Satan and Adam screens Thurs., Jan. 24, 7 P.M., at Mountainfilm On Tour Savannah
in the Trustees Theater.
V. SCOTT BALCEREK'S buzzed-about documentary Satan and Adam tells a story that's been 23 years in the making. The film centers around Sterling "Mr. Satan" McGee and Adam Gussow, a duo that met playing blues together on the streets of Harlem in the 1980s. McGee was a black former session musician and Gussow was a much younger aspiring harmonica player, and the two struck up a musical connection amid racial tensions brewing in Harlem at the time.
Thanks to word of mouth, and a little help from an appearance in U2's concert documentary Rattle & Hum, the pair were courted by record labels and producers and ended up achieving considerable critical success and taking their act on the road internationally for many years. The path turned dark along the way, and Balcerek was there to document it the entire time.
Ahead of the film's screening at the upcoming Mountainfilm Festival, we spoke to Balcerek about the moving story and what the film means to him.
I just finished watching the movie and I'm still kind of reeling from the whole thing. Truly and honestly, you did an incredible job.
VSB: Thank you!
It's an amazing story and there's so much to unpack, but I'm curious – before you started working on this, what was your affiliation with Satan and Adam? Were you a fan?
VSB: Well, I'm a musician so that's the first thing. I have a lot of friends who are musicians, and at the time I was wanting to get into film. I was super young, and my friend had mentioned this band were playing and that I should go and see them play. This was in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where I'm from. This was like 1992 or something. At the time I was also editing a film for a friend of mine that ended up winning the Student Academy Award, and it was about a street singer in Pittsburgh.
When my friend invited me out, they were like, "You should go. Not only are you a musician, but they're street musicians as well and it's sort of like this film you've been editing." That's how I got involved with them. I went and was completely blown away – not only by the sound that they made, but it was such a disparate act. They were from completely different sides of the tracks, as they say. It just didn't make sense, but the interesting thing was that you could close your eyes and it'd sound like a full band. But then you'd open your eyes and it was just two people. The music was amazing, but visually it sort of made no sense [laughs].
Right! Totally.
VSB: It was almost absurd on some level. Also, Satan as a guitarist, I saw him as an unsung hero of the guitar world. I just felt like he should get more attention. The only thing I was thinking was, in sort of a pithy state I thought that maybe the film should be told as an allegory for American music. The black and white, the font of wisdom from the blues world that inspired rock and jazz and all these other offshoots of American music and is a combination of these two races. That's not really what the film became, but maybe some people could look at it as that pithy idea I had in 1992. Hopefully that's one way to read the film.
I was going to ask, because there's so many sides of the whole thing, about where this started off and what it ended up being. Was there a moment during the process where you found a layer to the story you weren't aware of that expanded the scope?
VSB: Oh yeah. I mean, I expected to follow to them and tell the story of their rise off the street to this wider international acclaim. I thought that they could just get bigger and bigger and bigger. Not only is it great music but there's a great story here. Two people from completely different sides of the world meet on the streets of Harlem in the 80s when it was super dangerous and they become this thing.
Of course, that's not what happened. I think that in the downturn of what happened to Sterling, you see that music can mean and should mean much more to people who play it. Adam built a cross-cultural relationship with someone through music and it impacted his life in a grand way. So the film became about, how do we break these societal barriers that keep us apart? Not only with social media but also with Trump. We're slowly being divided by technology, and this is a story that rises above that.
You meet a person and you take the risk of that relationship – whether it's getting beat up on the streets of Harlem or having to deal with the elderly sick person that you stand by. You build these enduring relationships and that's what really matters in the end. So I was happy that the relationship rose above all the things that constrain us.
Did you have any idea that this would be something you'd be working on for 23 years? Or did you think, "This will be something I'll do for a few years and sort of follow this journey"?
VSB: I'd heard that most docs take an average of three to four years to make, so I was thinking about that [laughs].
One part of this story in particular hit close to home for me. As things start to get bigger with the band, Sterling starts to get a bit uncomfortable with the whole thing – especially having come from that too. He sort of had his spot in Harlem where he was comfortable and then was thrust into the spotlight more. And the rigors of touring the way he did really started to get to him.
VSB: That was a big deal for me. I toured in bands, not even at their level, and we'd only go out for a month at a time and come back. But those guys were out all the time and had these commitments. When we toured, it was super punk rock. Sleeping in shitty places, the whole band in one hotel room – crazy stuff. This guy was kind of doing that, living in his car and stuff like that, but he was going on 60. And he kept doing it. He did it because he was making more money, but as Adam says in the movie he did it for Adam too.
Adam really wanted it, and Sterling was willing to go back into that world. He was doing it for his friend. But it came at a cost.
Do you think that he always felt uncomfortable with that life? Deep down, would he have always preferred to end up doing what he was most comfortable doing? Do you think a career was his goal?
VSB: No, his goal was to play for his friends on the street and give his money away and live a simple life. He was always like that, even when I was hanging out with him. Even in the nursing home, he would play once in a while and he'd come home and give his money away. He's sort of a rare entity. It was never about making it or getting big. He was too much of a philosopher type of person to do that. He cares a lot. He's a good loving sort of guy.
If there's one thing you hope people would take from this film, what would it be?
VSB: If you let it, music and culture and art is something that binds us together. [Especially] in a time when we're being separated by technology and by our current government. I know it sounds sort of large and pithy, but these are the things I think about. People don't really interact as much because of technology, and I hope that people take away the fact that in order to get anything, there has to be some sort of risk to it.
The best things require those sort of unknown steps that you take. You desire something or some sort of connection, but that's not something you can do all the time from the safety of behind your computer or behind a vapid ideology. You have to engage and give to the world in order to get something back. Adam took a risk and went [to Harlem], and Sterling took a risk too. People would say, "What are you doing playing with that white boy?" and a couple people threatened him. He stuck with it. It's a small act, but the film shows that being courageous in that way is something that Adam has taken throughout his life.
He's a professor now almost because of his relationship with Sterling. It's impacted his life in a big way, and there's no doubt when you watch the movie that you see that. I hope that's what people take away.

Great Outdoors Month celebrates a variety of events in June and highlights the benefits of active fun outdoors as well as the nation's forests, parks, refuges and other public lands and waters. Great Outdoors Week (June 1-8) showcases efforts enhancing outdoor recreation for kids and other Americans through awards and other events .
Great Outdoors Week is coordinated by the American Recreation Coalition (ARC) and includes events co-hosted by more than a dozen federal agencies and national organizations in Washington D.C., complete with a slew of awards to various groups and agencies working to get people outdoors. It culminates on Saturday, June 8, with public and private partners across the nation teaming up to help tens of thousands of youth have fun outdoor adventures, typically close by the urban homes of these youth.
Federal agencies, state and local park agencies, recreation businesses, healthcare companies and enthusiast groups will host National Get Outdoors Day events at nearly 150 locations and help these youth and their families begin a new chapter of their lives exploring and enjoying the incredible shared legacy of America's Great Outdoors. For more information, see www.nationalgetoutdoorsday.org/.
A large coalition of outdoor recreation leaders has once again asked the President, all 50 governors and other key officials to proclaim June as Great Outdoors Month. The proclamations provide nationwide attention to the economic importance of recreation and the special role of the Great Outdoors in re-establishing the USA as a major destination for international visitors. The nation's health community is also increasingly vocal regarding the benefits of active time in the Great Outdoors as key to better health, better education and support for conservation.

Q: can't able to get HashMap position in CustomAdapter I made Custom adapter for HashMap, the problem is i unable to set TextView of CustomAdapter with HashMap. The second last line getting syntax error to getting HashMap position.
Kindly guide me how to resolve syntax error and set CustomAdapter.
CustomAdapter.java
public class CustomAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<HashMap<String, Object>> {

        private SparseBooleanArray mSelectedItemsIds;
        private LayoutInflater inflater;
        private Context mContext;
        private List<HashMap<String, Object>> list;
        Blocklist blocklist;

        public CustomAdapter (Context context, int resourceId, List<HashMap<String, Object>> list) {
            super(context, resourceId, list);
            mSelectedItemsIds = new SparseBooleanArray();
            mContext = context;
            inflater = LayoutInflater.from(mContext);
            this.list = list;
        }

        private static class ViewHolder {
            TextView itemName;
        }

        public View getView(int position, View view, ViewGroup parent) {
            final ViewHolder holder;
            if (view == null) {
                holder = new ViewHolder();
                view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_textview, null);
                view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_textview, null);
                holder.itemName = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.custom_tv);
                view.setTag(holder);
            } else {
                holder = (ViewHolder) view.getTag();
            }

            holder.itemName.setText(list.get(position));
            return view;
        }

Blocklist.java
HashMap<String,Object> hm = new HashMap<String,Object>();
                hm.put(ID, cursor.getLong(0));
                hm.put(ORIGINATING_ADDRESS, cursor.getString(1));
                hm.put(MESSAGE_BODY, cursor.getString(2));
                arrayList.add(hm);
                cursor.moveToNext();

A: You have :
holder.itemName.setText(list.get(position));

the above line will not work as list.get(position) results in a Hashmap object and not a string object. If you want fro example to show the MESSAGE_BODY you must use it like this
 holder.itemName.setText((String)list.get(position).get(MESSAGE_BODY));

also you do not need to inflate
view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.custom_textview, null);

twice`

A: list.get(position)

Return the object HashMap in position, not a String

Event planning, theme parks, restaurants, transportation, lodging and any other markets belonging to the lucrative tourism industry are recognized as part and parcel of the hospitality industry.
Hospitality casts a wide net, and it's a broad category that focuses on customer support and satisfaction, facilitated by direct operations and facility maintenance. With that said, new technology is changing the way the hospitality industry functions. Tech has brought forth a new world of access, leading to quick and timely delivery, diverse products and innovative services. Our dependency on new technology has shifted our dependence on traditional markets, and it has changed the way we regularly interact with those markets.
The multibillion-dollar industry continues to thrive, and it's perpetually fed by disposable income and a thirst for leisure. Nonetheless, new technology has caused an unprecedented cultural impact. Professionalism, authenticity, and business acumen remain necessary, however, today's customers require more from businesses.
They want their restaurants, bars and travel services to be plugged in and have a competitive and competent online presence. While some traditional businesses struggle to catch up with the times, startups and tech-oriented businesses set their sights on meeting those needs. They continually offer high-tech hotel rooms, personalized service, a sharing economy, suitable travel, affordability, social CRM (customer relationship management) and central trip planners.
DoorDash is among the many startups delivering service looking to shape the way food is delivered to hungry customers. PlateJoy, Blue Apron, GrubHub, HelloFresh, and ChefDay are among DoorDash's many competitors. However, DoorDash stands apart because it's gained impressive partners and offered other forms of delivery, marking itself as unique. DoorDash will deliver your local favorite, but they will also deliver your Dunkaccino (Dunkin Donuts) or your 7-Eleven Select Burrito.
Silicon Valley and the outmoded bed & breakfast concept conceived Airbnb, a platform that allows users across the world to rent out private space as an alternative to hotel stays. The booking services put travelers in connection with affordable short-term stays. The company single-handedly rattled the hotel industry, successfully siphoning business from industry giants and their lesser competition.
TripIt is a startup that helps to manage your itineraries as you travel. After travel information is given to the service, the app able to automatically organizes information in a way that's easy to access and easy to view. Additionally, the app offers expected weather conditions and a map to the hotel, as well as alternate flight schedules, which will come in handy if you miss your flight.
Some other companies making a splash include eVenues, HeadOut, OYO Rooms, Treebo Hotels, Breather, ByHours.com, HotelTonight, Magic, Splendia and Hotel Urbano.

THE Department of Justice on Monday filed criminal complaint before the Makati City regional trial court against Senator Antonio Trillanes IV arising from his allegedly malicious statements against former Vice President Jejomar Binay in 2015.
The DoJ approved Monday the filing of the libel case against Trillanes before the Makati City RTC after finding probable cause in the complaint filed by Binay.
"That on or about 19 August 2015, the above named accused did then and there willfully, unlawfully, feloniously, and with malice in fact, publicly made the following statement without regard to truth or falsity thereof and caused the same to be published... thereby defaming, maligning the reputation and causing the dishonor of then Vice President Jejomar Binay to his damage and prejudice," read the information filed by Senior Assistant State Prosecutor Edwin Dayog.
It cited the senator's public insinuation against Binay about the supposed P100-million racket per year at the Makati City hall involving ghost senior citizens when the former vice president was still mayor.
"On our blue ribbon subcommittee hearing, we will be exposing the ghost senior citizens of Makati during the incumbency of the Binays who have been claiming the benefits. The whole racket amounts to over P100 million per year," Trillanes was quoted in a statement sent to reporters.
Meanwhile, a member of the Majority Bloc in the Senate on Monday said Trillanes' meeting with American officials where he presented "factual information" about the Philippines did not amount to treason.
"While I am of the belief that we should not 'wash dirty linen in public,' so to speak, I don't believe that it will fall on the provision of the Revised Penal Code on treason," stressed Escudero.
"I really just don't think it will fall under treason. I guess that's why Malacañang itself rightfully distanced itself from such an issue," added Escudero.
He said the DoJ, through the National Bureau of Investigation, always had the power to investigate violations of the law.
However, he said it was up to the DoJ to investigate the appropriate charges if supported by charges.
Trillanes, on the other hand, slammed Malacañang on Monday after it said claims he committed treason should be investigated first before any conclusions be made.
"Are they heroes? Can you not do the right thing?" also said Trillanes, a known strong critic of the President.
"The DoJ should study it. The lawyers of our President should study that because these are legal matters," he said.
The White House earlier confirmed that Trump would arrive in Manila on Nov. 12 to attend the special gala celebration dinner for the 50th anniversary of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
Trump is also set to attend the US-Asean Summit on Nov. 13.
"To be clear, I did not try to stop the state visit of President Trump since these things are carefully planned and cannot be stopped on the mere say so of a Philippine senator," said Trillanes in a statement.
But Trillanes said he had met with US officials, including Republican Senator Marco Rubio, to talk about improving Philippines-US relations, and how to address issues on corruption and human rights situation in the country.
Trump was the Republican candidate in the 2016 US presidential elections.
Rubio previously criticized Duterte's war on drugs as he, together with two other US senators, sent a letter expressing "grave concern on the extrajudicial killings and human rights violations" in the country.
"Unlike the officials of the Duterte administration, I presented only factual information," said Trillanes.
"Besides, you cannot fool the US government; they know what's happening in our country," he added.
"Be assured that I pushed for the interests of our country," he added, but noted the interests "of our country are not necessarily the same as the interests" of Duterte.
Trillanes had asked the Office of the Ombudsman to investigate Duterte on allegations he had multi-billion-peso undeclared wealth which have prompted the Office of the Ombudsman to investigate him.
"I hope no one else is wishing or worse working for "bad" relations between the Philippines and other countries like the US and EU members. If we love our country we should always promote our beloved country's best interest," he said.
