Day 116: Monday 28 February 2011. Hotel Embayi, Lope, camp site. S00 06.502 E011 36.635 Distance driven 96 km
We thought we would explore the National park today; the first problem was finding the entrance and the second problem was finding anyone there who could tell us what there was in the Park and how much it cost etc ! We did eventually rouse an administrator and a guide and the answer was, elephants, buffalo and maybe some chimps. they wanted 15,000 CFA for us to take our vehicle inside, plus 10,000 CFA for the twp of us, plus a guide (10,000 CFA) and an ECO Guard at another 10,000 CFA - grand total 45,000 CFA or about £55. Oh, we had to find room in the car for the guide and the guard and, no, the guide did not speak English. We said we wouldn't pay for a guide who couldn't speak English and we didn't need a guard. No go, mandatory, so we said "goodbye", there are better game parks in South Africa, Namibia and Botswana where we can go without guides and guards and if we do want a guide, they speak English.
We then decided to drive 50 km down the track towards Franceville to visit the primates research centre at Mingolo, established by the RGS, expecting someone there to speak English! It was a lovely drive, but when we got there it was all locked up and we couldn't get in!
Back at the Embayi, the Afritours truck had arrived so we had a social afternoon and did our washing. We lingered in the bar too late and only got to cook our dinner after dark. We had the awning out and Jenny fitted the all-enveloping mosquito net that she had made in Sevenoaks. Once we had set up the light outside the enclosure, it worked a dream and we were able to have a bug-free dinner. However, we had left things rather late and we had no sooner finished our meal than the wind got up and it began to rain hard. WE quickly furled the netting and cleared everything away in the rain, then retreated to the car while it lashed down. As it gave no sign of stopping, we dived into the tent getting both ourselves, and the interior of the tent, wet in the process. As the wind got up more, the rain became harder and the vehicle rocked from side to side. We soon realised that the awning was filling with a pool of water and the weight of all this water was rocking the car! We had to turn out in the rain and the dark, very scantily clad, and furl away the awning, getting drowned in the process. By the time we got back into bed the mattress and bedding was very wet.

Q: Python code to automatically assign parsed json objects to their original names I have dumped a couple of variables I need to store in a json object as shown here-
def write_json():
    variable = {}
    variable['p_id'] = p_id
    variable['s_id'] = s_id
    variable['t_id'] = t_id
    variable['b_start'] = b_start
    variable['b_end'] = b_end
    variable['wsp_after'] = wsp_after
    variable['h_id'] = h_id
    variable['word'] = word
    variable['norm_word'] = norm_word
    variable['lemma'] = lemma
    variable['pos'] = pos
    variable['ner'] = ner
    variable['dep'] = dep
    variable['quote'] = quote
    variable['ch_id'] = ch_id

    with open('variable.json', 'w') as fp:
        json.dump(variable,fp, sort_keys = True)

I want to write a piece of code that would automatically get these variables assigned appropriately as would happen if you wrote from 'X.py' import *
This is what I tried-
def get_variables():
    with open('variable.json', 'r') as fp:
        variable = json.load(fp)
    for key in variable:
        global key
        key = variable[key]

However, when I tried to print the original value-
    print t_id
NameError: name 't_id' is not defined

What do I need to do to achieve what I want rather than cumbersomely typing
t_id = variable['t_id']
.
.
.

For every variable I have dumped?

A: Your current code doesn't work because the following lines just bind (and rebind, for the later values in the loop) a global variable named 'key':
global key
key = variable[key]

While I'm not sure your design is really a good one, if you're sure you want all the values from your json file as global variables, I'd replace the loop with:
globals().update(variable)

The globals() function returns a dictionary that contains all the current module's global variables. Unlike the dictionary you get from locals() (which may be a copy of the local namespace, not the actual implementation of it), you can modify the globals() dictionary and use the variables like normal afterwards.

A: Here's the solution -
with open('variable.json', 'r') as fp:
    variable = json.load(fp)

for key in  variable.keys():
    exec(key + " = variable['" + key + "']")

The problem before was that each 'key' was a string, not an object.
Using the exec function successfully parses each string into an object and using it as given above gets the results as was asked in the question.

Salah Hissou (arab. صلاح هسو, ur. 16 stycznia 1972 w Ait Taghia) – marokański lekkoatleta długodystansowiec, mistrz świata i medalista olimpijski.

Na mistrzostwach świata w 1995 w Göteborgu zajął 4. miejsce w finale biegu na 10 000 metrów, przegrywając ze swymi największymi rywalami: Haile Gebrselassie z Etiopii, swym rodakiem Chalidem Skahem i Paulem Tergatem z Kenii.

Wywalczył brązowy medal w biegu na 10 000 metrów na igrzyskach olimpijskich w 1996 w Atlancie za Gebrselassie i Tergatem. 23 sierpnia 1996 w Brukseli ustanowił rekord świata na tym dystansie wynikiem 26:38,08. Przetrwał on prawie rok, zanim został poprawiony przez Gebrselassie. Do tej pory daje on Hissou 10. miejsce na liście najlepszych biegaczy w historii na tym dystansie (maj 2021).

Na mistrzostwach świata w 1997 w Atenach Hissou zdobył brązowy medal w biegu na 10 000 metrów, znowu za Gebrselassie i Tergatem. Dwa lata później, na mistrzostwach świata w 1999 w Sewilli wystartował w biegu na 5000 metrów i zdobył w tej konkurencji złoty medal, przed Benjaminem Limo z Kenii i Mohammedem Mourhitem reprezentującym Belgię. Wskutek kontuzji nie wystąpił na igrzyskach olimpijskich w 2000 w Sydney. Odpadł w eliminacjach biegu na 5000 metrów na mistrzostwach świata w 2003 w Paryżu

Odnosił także sukcesy w biegach przełajowych i szosowych. Na mistrzostwach świata w półmaratonie w 1994 zdobył brązowy medal drużynowo (indywidualnie zajął 18. miejsce). Został również mistrzem świata w sztafecie maratonowej w 1994.

Został drużynowym wicemistrzem świata podczas mistrzostw świata w biegach przełajowych w 1994 w Budapeszcie (indywidualnie był 11.). Na następnych mistrzostwach świata w biegach przełajowych w 1995 w Durham zdobył brązowy medal indywidualnie i srebrny drużynowo. Na kolejnych dwóch mistrzostwach świata (1996 w Stellenbosch oraz 1997 w Turynie) zdobywał srebrne medale indywidualnie (za Paulem Tergatem) i drużynowo.

Był mistrzem Maroka w biegu na 5000 metrów w 1991.

As relações entre Quirguistão e Tajiquistão foram tensas durante a Guerra Civil Tadjique.  Os refugiados e combatentes anti-governo no Tajiquistão atravessaram várias vezes o Quirguistão, até mesmo tomando reféns.  O Quirguistão tentou ajudar na negociação de um acordo entre as forças da oposição tajiques em outubro de 1992, mas sem sucesso.  Askar Akayev se juntaria mais tarde aos presidentes Islam Karimov e Nursultan Nazarbayev para enviar uma força de intervenção conjunta para apoiar o presidente do Tajiquistão Emomalii Rahmon contra os insurgentes, mas o parlamento do Quirguistão atrasou a missão de seu pequeno contingente por vários meses até o final da primavera de 1993. Em meados de 1995, forças quirguízes tinham a responsabilidade de cerrar uma pequena porção da fronteira do Tajiquistão, perto de Panj, das forças rebeldes do Tajiquistão.

O maior risco para o Quirguistão a partir do Tajiquistão era a desestabilização geral que a prolongada guerra civil traria para a região. Em particular, a estrada Khorugh-Osh, a chamada "estrada acima das nuvens", tornou-se um importante canal de contrabando de todos os tipos, incluindo armas e drogas. Uma reunião dos chefes das agências de segurança do Tajiquistão, do Quirguistão, do Cazaquistão e do Uzbequistão, realizada em Osh na primavera de 1995, também concluiu que as condições étnicas, sociais e econômicas em Osh eram cada vez mais semelhantes às do Tajiquistão no final dos anos 1980, reconhecendo assim o contágio da instabilidade tajique.

Conflitos com o Uzbequistão
Devido a existência de conflitos com o vizinho Uzbequistão, tanto o Quirguistão como o Tajiquistão aumentaram o apoio mútuo. Durante os conflitos étnicos no sul do Quirguistão em 2010 entre os uzbeques e quirguizes, o Tajiquistão exigiu que a minoria uzbeque "respeitasse as leis quirguízes".

If you are enduring a modest quantity of difficulty looking for the most suited hues then buy a palette with different exclusive ones and consider them out. Vivid colors include a distinct search that relates your eye make as much as a normal, pure, eye-catching and trendy style.

So where are the cries of academic freedom?
A senior academic is being investigated by University College London after he was found to have hosted an annual conference in which speakers debated ideas on eugenics and intelligence.
Since 2015, Dr James Thompson has overseen the London Conference on Intelligence, which has seen a researcher who has previously advocated child rape online speak on campus on three occasions.
The university was last night attempting to establish how the honorary lecturer was able to host the event without informing senior officials, who were unaware of which speakers would be attending.
Dr Thompson, a member of the university's psychology department, has now been blocked from hosting any future events while an investigation is carried out.
It came as details about the conference emerged yesterday, revealing that papers presented at the event include research on the alleged links between genetics and racial disparities in intelligence.
It's amusing, no, that when eugenics was a standard left wing belief universities could and did discuss it not just with impunity but approval. Now that exactly the same beliefs are now seen as somehow right wing they are to be drummed off campus.

Eugenics is neither left or right. It's just common sense.
Both the negative (sterilisation in Sweden in the 70s, or Israel today) and positive (Singapore encouraging postgraduate women who have been brainwashed by media to have kids) kinds.
William of Ockham January 11, 2018 at 10:10 am
This holiday, I read G K Chesterton's work on eugenics (free on Kindle now).
It wasn't a left wing idea; it was an everyone but bloody G K Chesterton idea. Churchill included for a while.
Some of the utter bollocks of the legislation put forward prior the 1913 bill were shocking.
If only the Nazis had been huge supporters of Mathusianism, we could have killed that rubbish dead for a generation too.
Mr Ecks January 11, 2018 at 10:14 am
Leftscum like the Fabians etc were all over Eugenics until their fellow socialists under Adolf gave it a bad name too big to ignore. Then it went into the memory hole along with the Left's adoration for Mussolini in his early days.
Purge this fucking Uni. Kick these "Senior Officials" out on there arses sans compo/pensions. Then Purge the entire education system until there isn't a single leftist in it.
If that useless cow May were any shade of use, along with the equally useless skirt parade she has now boosted they should be on this matter. She has however MUCH more important stuff to attend to than the CM takeover of the UK. Fox hunting, commandeering your dead body and creating a Great Northern Forest. Obviously such matters are keeping voters on the edge of the seats and should be what the stupid cow and her gang exercise their worthless BluLabour arses over.
So Much For Subtlety January 11, 2018 at 11:02 am
There are two slightly different issues here. Can you go to UCL and advocate eugenics? Probably. If you encourage women to abort children with Down's syndrome you would be perfectly mainstream. They are more likely to ban you if you did not. If you do research on actually getting rid of the genes responsible for bad things, they will shower you with money and awards.
And yes, it was a very Left wing idea for a long time. Take a look at the Galton Institute – at one time it was basically the Fabian society on their days off:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galton_Institute
Mind you it has always been cross party. George H W Bush stood for election in Texas despite his open support for abortion (for poor Blacks it seems).
However differences in intelligence between different races is simply what the science tells us. That is not quite the same. I am sure there is enormous overlap between the two camps, but they are not quite the same. I doubt you could argue the races exist at all much less are different at UCL these days unless you observe Althouse Rule and claim Blacks are superior.
This was not a fringe event though. Richard Lynn spoke.
AndrewWS January 11, 2018 at 11:04 am
This appears to have come to light thanks to the report in the current Private Eye according to which Toby Young attended these gatherings.
FWIW, and while I'm here, the racial dimension to intelligence strikes me as interesting but largely irrelevant given that intelligence is only one aspect of individual character; we've all (I've certainly) known people who were highly intelligent but deeply amoral and people who were as thick as mince who wouldn't hurt a fly.
AndrewWS – "the racial dimension to intelligence strikes me as interesting but largely irrelevant given that intelligence is only one aspect of individual character; we've all (I've certainly) known people who were highly intelligent but deeply amoral and people who were as thick as mince who wouldn't hurt a fly."
If we were interested in moral character that would be true. If we were interested in something like employability, we might well be interested in IQ. When considering that every person of African origin we let into the country is going to leave a legacy of unemployment, violent crime and stupid voting patterns for instance – even if that individual is very smart. And wouldn't hurt a fly.
By the way, why is this a surprise? As our own Ironman has shown, at length and considerable volume, even here people think these ideas – no matter how mild or mildly expressed – are evil and should be banned. We won the Cold War in theory, but we lost the struggle for hearts and minds. We are all Stalinists now.
Southerner January 11, 2018 at 11:54 am
When I first read The Bell Curve it smashed my little snowflake heart to smithereens. Then I had another think. If the research was genuine, and it seemed to be, and there was a disparity in IQ across races and socioeconomic classes, we could respond in either of two ways.
1. Pretend that it doesn't exist and leave the less gifted to sink or swim on their own.
2. Acknowledge that it does exist and take appropriate steps to improve life outcomes for the less gifted.
IQ is an accident of birth. Lower IQ is not the individual's fault, and certainly not their choice. By and large, smarter people are able to look after themselves. Action to improve the lot of the less intelligent, and make them more productive, benefits us all.
Paul Rain January 11, 2018 at 1:15 pm
AndrewWS: IQ is positively correlated with job performance, from doctors, to privates humping boxes in the logistics side of the US Army. It enables high future-time orientated behaviours that enabled the West to be built, from saving, to forming stable marriages. Steve Sailor has a good primer for those less familiar with the subject ( http://www.unz.com/isteve/why-do-we-keep-writing-about-intelligence-an-iq-faq/ ).
While it is true that IQ averages, especially IQ averages for groups, do not necessarily predict moral character for individuals- there are one or two honest pikeys out there, after all- it is also true that IQs significantly below the Anglo norm are associated with higher crime rates. Since the 1970s, American researchers have found that folks with IQs in the 75-90 IQ range (too dumb to make good money legally- smart enough to want it- not dumb enough to get caught or shot dead immediately) committed more crime than other demographics. IQ scores in this range (typical for African-Americans, 1-1.5 SD below the American-American norm) were more predictive of criminal behaviour than race, class/socioeconomic status, or the two factors combined.
Andrew again January 11, 2018 at 2:42 pm
All good stuff but James Thomson has the SJW and CM warriors coming knocking. They took Toby Young down and mob momentum is still there. They want blood.
His blog will provide lots of offensive material even if it's all meticulously referenced.

"When considering that every person of African origin we let into the country is going to leave a legacy of unemployment, violent crime and stupid voting patterns for instance – even if that individual is very smart."
*Every* person on Earth is of African descent. That's where humans evolved.
But of course, the problems you mention are easily solved without resorting to racial profiling. We simply deport everyone who breaks the law, is unemployed, or votes for any party I happen to disagree with. Whatever country they're from, whatever colour their skin. It solves the problem entirely, and is far more effective and efficient than the racist/nationalist proxy, because it gets rid of the stupid/criminal white Brits, too!
Of course, it's the stupid/criminal white Brits in the main who want to bring in racial profiling, because they think that will get rid of the competition in their own social niche. "If we set up a closed shop," they think, "then employers will be *forced* to deal with us, and we can demand higher wages. We'll be rich!" The British 1970s legacy of crime, unemployment, and voting stupidly wasn't caused by and damn Africans…
john77 January 11, 2018 at 7:50 pm
@ NiV
There is significant reason to doubt that every person on earth is of African descent since recent archaeological finds in China include proto-human finds older than any yet found in Africa.
Please do not go off into irrelevant and dubious comments when countering blatant and offensive lies by SMFS – just point out that they are stupid lies.
On reading his lie I immediately thought of the second black guy I met who was then doing a post-grad degree at Oxford and was the image of a public-school-educated gentleman, except for being far more intelligent than the image, and has subsequently had a distinguished career.
That's news to me. Tell me more!
"Please do not go off into irrelevant and dubious comments when countering blatant and offensive lies by SMFS – just point out that they are stupid lies"
And why should anyone believe me if I did?
I've got no problem with "offensive". The point of free speech is so that people will be willing to express their stupid beliefs openly, which allows the errors in them to be pointed out in public. Hidden opinions fester.
NiV: Lol, you literally think that all people who happen to be maybe 1SD in IQ below your population average should be fucked over and have their wages lowered by bringing in people from a population with a population average IQ 1SD below our population average?
How has libertarianism never actually worked anywhere with arguments like this?
Not what I was looking for but http://www.ancient-origins.net/news-history-archaeology/taiwan-jaw-bone-connected-origins-humanity-020183
Well, I *do* believe you when you point out some of his/her/their stupid lies.
I didn't have a problem with "offensive" when one could say "step and outside and say that" [incidentally I never did but one of my childhood friends who wasn't a fighter said that he did – and then finished his pint in quiet comfort – the ability to say it meant that when I weighed 8-and-a-half stone, people like SMFS and Mr Ecks were less offensive to me than to him]

Hitler & Stalin using the excuse to kill serfs was good.
Serfs using it to improve themselves is bad.
NiV – "*Every* person on Earth is of African descent. That's where humans evolved."
Let's see is NiV this dumb or is he just playing dumb in order to distract attention? I think perhaps it is time to embrace the power of "and".
"But of course, the problems you mention are easily solved without resorting to racial profiling. We simply deport everyone who breaks the law, is unemployed, or votes for any party I happen to disagree with."
So the choice is we can remain a White liberal democracy or we can become a Chocolate All Sorts police state? That is such an interesting choice. Hmmmm. How about we remain a liberal democracy and we don't do what you want? I think most people might agree with that.
But of course you are being an ar$ehole again. Because you can.
"Of course, it's the stupid/criminal white Brits in the main who want to bring in racial profiling, because they think that will get rid of the competition in their own social niche."
Uh huh. Good for you. How very clever.
john77 – "Please do not go off into irrelevant and dubious comments when countering blatant and offensive lies by SMFS – just point out that they are stupid lies."
I notice that you have not been able to point out a single thing I said that is not true. Or stupid for that matter.
Yes, we know. You once met a clever Black man. You tell us. All the time. One.
So what is the lie you think I said?
NiV – "I've got no problem with "offensive"."
Unless it is about your favorite topic – Trans. Then that sets you off.
NiV January 12, 2018 at 2:14 am
No. I think *everyone* should be fucked over and have their wages lowered to the minimum the employers can get away with because that's *good*. That's how life gets cheaper, technology progresses, economies get more efficient, and everybody gets richer. The idea that you can make yourself richer by excluding the competition and thereby increasing everybody's wages is what fucked us all over in the 1970s. It's a typical socialist argument, and economically illiterate.
Nationality is treated like a labour union, the nation is a 'closed shop', and immigrants are 'scabs'. And there's nothing a closet-socialist hates more than a scab.
As for IQ, if IQ is what you're really worried about, then test IQ. Don't test skin colour, or nation of origin, because that would be testing the wrong thing and stupid.
Like I said, we test the IQ, criminality, employment, and voting patterns of *everybody*, black or white, native or foreign, and we deport *everyone* who fails the test. We've got an IQ test. It's easy to apply and reliable. So we don't need to use any other variables or metrics – unless of course we've got a different agenda, are lying about this being about IQ, and are just trying to exclude the competition. I mean, it's fairly well known that racists test less intelligent than average, too.
But if it's really IQ you care about and not race, then you ought to be just as keen to chuck out all the white Brits who score less than 110, too. Are you?
Mmm. Well that dates from between 10k and 100k years ago, but the initial exodus from Africa was about 500k to 1.8m years ago. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_hominin_expansions_out_of_Africa Not sure that proves the case. But thanks. It was interesting.
But should you? Do you believe me because I've made a solid case, or because it was what you already believed before I started talking?
Oh, those crazy right-wingers, Hitler and Stalin…
(So I'm told.)
"Let's see is NiV this dumb or is he just playing dumb in order to distract attention?"
Or if he's a lot less dumb than you are?
"So the choice is we can remain a White liberal democracy or we can become a Chocolate All Sorts police state?"
No. The choice is between a white liberal democracy, a white police state, a multicoloured democracy, and a multicoloured police state. You're asking for a white police state. I'm asking for a liberal society where people are free to do what they like, go where they like, and trade with whoever they like without authoritarian prodnoses interfering and telling them they can't, and where irrelevant characteristics like skin colour or shoe size are ignored.
Personally, I have no particular liking for a society segregated on IQ, either. (The market sorts all.) But *if* you're going to argue that we need to filter society because of some people having low IQ, then it's pretty bloody obvious that you need to *filter it on measured IQ*. If you don't advocate that, then you're clearly lying about what you really care about.
I don't have a problem with "offensive" on that topic, either. It's the same with people having a go at fat people, or smokers, or Jews, or gays, or – as we have just seen – black people. There are authoritarians on both sides of the political aisle – bigots who repress minorities, and zealots who repress bigots – and I'll argue with the stupid arguments of them both.
I'm no more obsessed with it than you are. You're the ones who keep on bringing the subject up. The only reason you have an issue with me on it is because I *disagree* with you, and you've got no evidence or coherent logical argument with which to refute me, so you get upset about having your stupid bigoted and wrong opinions constantly being exposed as such. You're echo chamber is being polluted by alternative beliefs (horror!), and throwing a sweary temper tantrum doesn't make the nasty man go away.
There's a simple expedient. If you don't want to discuss it, don't discuss it. If you're asking that *you* get to constantly discuss it but *only your opinions are allowed*, then you're doing the same thing as the "safe spaces" crew, and it would be grossly hypocritical of you to then complain about them. This is how free speech works. If you don't like it, and want to stop it, don't pretend that you're not an enemy of free speech.
I *like* free speech, and I *enjoy* arguing with people who disagree with me. I assume you do too, or you wouldn't do it. So why complain about it?

NiV – "The idea that you can make yourself richer by excluding the competition and thereby increasing everybody's wages is what fucked us all over in the 1970s. It's a typical socialist argument, and economically illiterate."
Except it is, you know, true. The West has always excluded the competition in the sense that they stopped people from Asia and Africa moving to Europe until the present lot of treasonous scum. The result was richer workers. Which also seems to have helped with Europe's industrialisation as richer workers means that they were able to move into their own start ups much easier.
Indeed. Economics is not the be all and end all here. Because there are quality of life issues too. Just ask the girls of Rotherham.
Assuming that IQ does not revert to the mean. Which it seems to do. So if an African with a high IQ moves to the West, it is likely that his children will be closer to the African average.
"I mean, it's fairly well known that racists test less intelligent than average, too."
Is it? I suspect that non-racists are by and large hypocrites – and the sort of people who need the good opinion of others.
That ship sailed a long time ago.
"No. The choice is between a white liberal democracy, a white police state, a multicoloured democracy, and a multicoloured police state. You're asking for a white police state."
Actually that is not the choice and that is not what I am asking for. The multicoloured democracy is not an option. There are none. The only possible democracy is an ethnically homogeneous one. What I ask for is a democracy. Which we are losing because of our more Vibrant immigrants. As we see with May's restrictions on the internet. The more Vibrant we become, the less democratic.
"I'm asking for a liberal society where people are free to do what they like, go where they like, and trade with whoever they like"
Unless they have low IQs. Then you want to deport them. Oh wait, no you don't. You lie. Of course now we can't even go to parts of London. Because of your "liberal" society. And people get arrested and put in jail for saying that Islam is wrong. Or correctly pointing out what was happening to the Rotherham girls. So you're even more full of sh!t than usual.
"and where irrelevant characteristics like skin colour or shoe size are ignored."
What makes you think skin colour is irrelevant?
"I don't have a problem with "offensive" on that topic, either. It's the same with people having a go at fat people, or smokers, or Jews, or gays, or – as we have just seen – black people."
And there you go again. You just can't help yourself. Paragraphs of ranting about it.
"Except it is, you know, true."
So much for Bastiat and all the free market economists…
No,they're closer to the western average, because IQ is related to education and culture. When black infants are adopted and raised by white families, they grow up with white-typical levels of educational attainment. Skin colour has no detectable causal influence.
But even supposing your theory was true, which it's not, it would still be fixed by my proposal, because as soon as the children got old enough to be tested for IQ, they'd be out, same as any other British-born kid.
Like I said, if IQ is really the concern, then testing IQ is the only answer you need. But that's precisely the sort of basic logic needed to pass an IQ test – so it's not really surprising that racists don't get it.
And if everyone was secretly racist, none of them would have it. It does conjure up a bizarre scenario, though. Everybody pretending to an opinion none of them have, each of them thinking that everyone else does. An amusing thought. But it seems unlikely to me.
People with delusions commonly invent conspiracies to explain why nobody else appears to think as they do. The figure everybody else *does* think as they do, but they have to hide their opinions in case "they" find out.
The curious thing about your theory is that it doesn't explain why such people don't need *your* good opinion of them. They seem to think that doesn't matter, almost as if they really believed that racists were a tiny minority of mental defectives on the fringes of society?
"The multicoloured democracy is not an option. There are none. The only possible democracy is an ethnically homogeneous one."
We live in a country that has had one wave of immigration after another. Celts, Romans, Saxons, Vikings, Normans, Huguenot, and Indian. After a few generations, most people aren't even aware of the distinctions. And the UK's strength has always been that it is a cultural melting pot, adopting and adapting the best from any cultures it comes across. The French try to keep their language pure, but English adopts foreign terms with cheerful bonhomie.
A lot of British take some pride in the fact.
The evidence. What makes you think shoe size is irrelevant?

Evolution: The Animated Movie (2002)
Movie Review by The Gravedigger
As with the American version of Godzilla, the animated adventures of these characters are far superior than those in the motion picture.The alien threat, referred to as 'The Genus', returns soon after its presumed defeat and starts evolving into an assortment of strange creatures in the small Arizona town. Returning are the worms, insects and dinosaur looking-aliens. Dr. Ira Kane and his colleagues attack them with the same selenium compound, only this time they are becoming immune to it. So he has to keep on coming up with new variations of the formula. The alien life form also takes on a sentient incarnation, which looks like a cross between an octopus and a demon. This creature (in at the first few episodes) tells the humans that they are going to be defeated, et cetera. As 'The Genus' is continually moving and they are unable to destroy it all at once, Ira Kane creates a creature to track down the scent. This is a sort of alien bloodhound called 'Gassie', which is like Gleep from the HERCULOIDS, only with three eyes. Its name is self explanatory. The tone of EVOLUTION is more suited towards a cartoon, which I think is why it is so much better than its predecessor.

Include handful of nuts like almonds, cashews, walnuts, Pistachios and also some dry fruits like raisins, cranberries, blackcurrants, apricots, prunes too to get that amazing skin.
But make sure not to have more than a handful as anything consumed more than it must be is injurious! Especially limit the cashews as they tend to add up weight if consumed more.
After consuming the almonds drink a glass of warm lemon water. You can add honey to it if you like. This is the super drink that helps you get glowing skin and has a lot of health benefits too.
A thorough detoxification helps you get that bridal glow. Although detox waters don't taste amazing they do wonders to your skin.
So do try atleast one detox drink a day to become that super glowing bride!

I like to consume it with the pulp as it has more benefits than the juice alone. Also if you are a fan of pineapple flavour you can replace apple with 4-5 pineapple slices.
Include more leafy green vegetables in your food as greens are loaded with vitamins and minerals that hold immense health benefits.
Also Read: Top Tips For Brides To Be!
Consume atleast one fruit in a day - in the form of fruit and not as juice as raw fruits have more benefits than juice.
Include seeds like chia seeds, flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, cucumber seeds in your salads, oats, smoothies etc as they give you amazingggg skin.
Add up more lean proteins - salmon and red meat are good choiced and if you are a vegetarian include 100-200 gms of beans\sprouts\groundnuts everyday.
There are certain foods that must be avoided atleast from a week before the wedding to keep your stomach healthy and prevent bloating, acidity and other stomach disorders.
Caffeine - I know I know being an Indian and especially South Indian one can never avoid this but you must as much as possible and atleast don't have caffeinated drinks on the day before and the day of your wedding to feel light!
Avoid very spicy or salty foods as they bloat you up.
Avoid junk foods atleast for a week to 10 days before wedding.
Get rid of that chewing gums you keep storing atleast for a week before your wedding as the artificial sweeteners in them kill your spirit.
Reduce sugar consumption as it helps keep your GI in check.
A big no to carbonated drinks & sodas and you know why!
Thanks for such great suggestion. Very helpful tips.
Have You Tried Reversing Your Hair Wash Schedule?


The theme is the chorus of a song by Oliver Cooke to which the words 'I know a fount where sins are washed away' are associated. Following an announcement of the theme (preceded by its verse) there are five variations, a fugue and a repetition of the theme.
Upon being asked to write a Christmas musical for his church, Mark Lowry penned a series of monologues based on Christmas Songs including a conversation with Mary about the birth and life of her Son, Jesus. Lowry worked on the lyrics for years until he approached southern gospel singer-songwriter and harmonica player, Buddy Greene. Greene agreed to pen music for his words, completing the instrumentation within a few days. The result is this new-age Christmas classic: 'Mary Did You Know".

Key Questions About The Tax Bill – Does It Work For You?
1. Will My Tax Rate Go Up or Down?
The tax bill keeps the number of tax brackets at seven, but some marginal rates are adjusted, with the top rate dropping to 37 percent from 39.6 percent. The changes are likely to lead to a small decrease in taxes for most Americans. But these brackets will be adjusted to a less generous inflation measure starting in 2019, so over time many people will end up being pushed into higher brackets.
The bill also nearly doubles the standard deduction to $12,000 for individuals and $24,000 for married couples, which means fewer households will itemize. That change will be costly for many residents of blue states—those with high state and local taxes, such as California, New Jersey, and New York—who can no longer write off those payments. In a last-minute concession to blue-state lawmakers, the new tax rules allow for a deduction up to $10,000 for any combination of state, local, and property taxes.
The personal exemption (currently $4,050 for individuals or $8,100 for married couples) is eliminated, which reduces the benefit of the higher standard deduction for most families, who could previously claim an exemption per family member. Offsetting that, however, is an expanded child tax credit that will make up for the loss of that write-off for many families.
2. Will I Still Be Able to Deduct My Mortgage Interest Payments?
Yes, but you may not be able to write off as much as you did before. The new rules permit deductions for interest paid on mortgage debt principle up to $750,000. That applies to new mortgages taken out after Dec. 15, 2017. For homes purchased prior to that date, you are grandfathered and can still deduct interest on mortgages up to $1 million.
If you took out a home equity loan, or are planning to do so, interest on that debt will no longer be deductible starting next year. That rule change applies to everyone, with no grandfathering.
3. What Does It Mean for My Healthcare Costs?
The law effectively repeals the Affordable Care Act individual mandate, which requires most people to buy insurance or pay a fine, but the effect on the cost of your health insurance will depend on how you get insurance and where you live.
You won't feel any impact if you get your health insurance through your employer, as about half of Americans do. Medicaid recipients should also see no immediate change. But if you buy your own health insurance and don't qualify for federal government subsidies, comprehensive health insurance is likely to cost you more starting in 2019.
The expectation among many healthcare experts is that millions of people, particularly those who are younger and healthier, will drop health insurance either because they no longer have to pay the penalty or because they can't afford the premiums. The people who remain in the marketplace are likely to be sicker and costlier to cover.
Insurers are expected to boost rates in response—or drop out of the marketplaces altogether. It's not clear how much premiums could rise. How much of an impact the elimination of the individual mandate will have in part depends on where you live. Some states have robust exchanges with multiple insurers, which has helped tamp down premiums that have risen sharply the past few years. More sparsely populated and rural areas, which already struggle to attract insurers, would be left with fewer or no options to buy health insurance through an ACA exchange.
There is some relief, albeit temporary, if you have big medical bills. A tax break that allows you to deduct healthcare expenses is now more generous. For 2018 and 2019 you'll be able to deduct your medical expenses when they exceed 7.5 percent of your income, instead of the current 10 percent.
4. Will It Be Harder to Pay for College?
For now, very little will change for tax breaks related to higher education.
529 plans are a popular way to save for college because the money isn't taxed as long as it is used for qualified education expenses. The legislation would allow 529 savings to be used for private elementary and secondary school costs, up to $10,000 in expenses per student every year. 529s also could be used to pay for some homeschooling expenses.
One tax break that will be less attractive is a change to what is known as the kiddie tax. Parents who save money for their minor children, including full-time college students younger than 24, in a Uniform Gift to Minors Act (UGMA) or Uniform Transfer to Minors Act (UTMA) investment account, will now see the earnings taxed at a higher rate. The account earnings will be subject to the same 37 percent tax bracket as trusts, instead of the parents' marginal tax rate. That will be a higher rate for all but the highest-income earners.
5. Do Retirement Savers Still Get Tax Breaks?
Despite initial talk of eliminating pretax deductions for 401(k) saving, the final bill leaves those rules intact. Still, there are two other changes to keep in mind. For employees who have taken out 401(k) loans, you will have more flexibility. Previously, if you left your job while still owing on the loan, that money had to be repaid immediately or you would owe taxes plus a penalty. But under the new rules, you will have up to 60 days to repay the loan, either directly to the plan or into a rollover IRA, without facing a tax bill.
Another change affects those who do a Roth conversion, which involves switching money from a traditional, or pretax, IRA into a Roth IRA that allows your after-tax savings to grow tax-free. This strategy requires that you pay taxes on the amount you convert, but it gives you more tax flexibility in retirement because you will have pretax and after-tax accounts to tap. Plus it minimizes future required minimum distributions, which can lower taxes later in retirement.
The new rules eliminate a possible second step to this process, known as a Roth re-characterization—a term for switching previously converted money back from a Roth IRA to a traditional one. This move comes into play if the market drops after the conversion, which would require the saver to pay taxes on gains that had disappeared. By re-characterizing, you could avoid having to pay that tax. But starting in 2018, there are no more do-overs when you convert to a Roth.

HB 1100 Tax Credit Legislation Advocated by Trades, Opposed by Wolf
Posted on March 18, 2020 by Natural Gas Now Guest Blogger
Rick Hiduk
Managing Editor of EndlessMtnLifestyles.com
Tom Wolf is facing incredible pressure from the trades to not oppose HB 1100, the package of jobs bills he's told enviros he'll veto on their behalf.
A large rally and press conference held in Wilkes-Barre on March 10 in support of House Bill 1100 was also being followed closely by lawmakers and leaders of commerce and industry in the Endless Mountains. The legislation, which has now passed in the Pennsylvania Senate and House of Representatives by impressive margins would provide a tax credit for large corporations to build petrochemical plants to make use of the abundant natural gas produced in the state.

Governor Tom Wolf has suggested he will veto the bill, authored by Rep. Aaron Kauffer and amended by state Sen. John Yudichak, when it reaches his desk. Kauffer, Yudichak and labor leaders who participated in the event insist that the energy and fertilizer tax credits are needed to attract companies like Ellis Energy to Luzerne County. Without passage of the bill, Kauffer maintains neighboring states that do not produce as much natural gas will succeed in steering Ellis and two or three other companies with similar interests away from the Commonwealth.
The timing of the potential veto and that which it would take to orchestrate an override of it could not come at a worse time, according to Yudichak. With a volatile stock market looming and the coronavirus pandemic threatening trade with China, Pennsylvania needs the economic boost that the tax credits could provide, estimated at $3-million in wages and an additional $8-million impact on the regional economy with the construction of just two such facilities.
"If we are looking at a recession, the folks who feel it most are blue collar workers," said Yudichak.
"This is the biggest jobs bill that we have ever passed," Kauffer stated.
Kauffer holds the governor accountable for the imminent loss of 800 jobs via the closure of the White Haven State Center and the State Correctional Institute at Retreat and suggests that HB 1100 is the best way to turn things around for northeast Pennsylvania residents.
"This is the first stepping stone in building some fresh economic possibilities for Pennsylvania." said Kauffer. "We'd love to see him sign the bill into law. But, if he has done nothing at end of the day (by not actively vetoing the legislation), we will have hundreds of new jobs."
It was the Senate, under Yudichak's direction, that inserted a prerequisite for "prevailing wages" into the bill when it came from the house, which made it more palatable to union leaders. Additional requirements include a $450-million capital investment and the creation of at least 800 construction jobs, followed by upwards to 200 permanent jobs at each facility.
"The residual jobs cannot be underestimated," said Kauffer, in reference to increases in patronage to local eateries, hotels and retail outlets. "We know that the charm comes down the road to effect more people."
"You put 800 people on a construction site, and everything around it blows up," Tony Siewell, business manager of Laborers' District Council Eastern PA concurred.
Rep. Jonathan Fritz, who serves constituents in Wayne and the eastern half of Susquehanna County was among those standing closest to the podium during the press conference as Kauffer, Yudichak and others made their case on behalf of hundreds of union laborers who filled the banquet room at the Genetti Hotel.
"The fact is that other states are eating our lunch when it comes to attracting residents and jobs," Fritz maintained. "Other states roll out the red carpet and, for some reason, Pennsylvania rolls out the red tape." Like others at the press conference, Fritz was under the impression as recently as August 2019 that Gov. Wolf was willing to support the measure. "It's absolutely confounding to me that he has since reversed course."
"HB 1100 is imperative to the future of the Endless Mountains region," Wyoming County Chamber of Commerce president Gina Suydam, who attended the rally, asserted. "While some of these manufacturing facilities would be built in the lower corridor of northeast PA, these projects will employ our workforce, including labor unions and give new uses to this abundant resource sitting at our feet."
"Even if they aren't being built in Susquehanna County, it's still a signal of development in the northeast, and we will see a trickle of growth from that," said Montrose Area Chamber of Commerce president Josh Edwards. "You can see that across the state where a whole region grows because of that."
Edwards was referencing the construction of the Shell Pennsylvania Petrochemicals Complex in Beaver County, which is currently the largest construction project in North America, made possible by a tax credit bill passed in 2012, with more than 6,000 workers currently on site. Rep. Tim O'Neal of neighboring Washington County backed up Edwards' sentiments with his assessment during the press conference.
"The impacts of these types of projects go well beyond the plant," O'Neal remarked. "The opportunities in my district for future development are through the roof. It is time, through this bill, that this part of the state (NEPA) gets to cash in."
"One way or another, in some aspect, our key in Pennsylvania is to try to utilize this gas within our own state boundaries, whether it is in our own county or in other parts of the state," said Tony Ventello, executive director of the Central Bradford Progress Authority in Towanda. "Any piece of legislation that incentivizes value-added natural gas is critical to enhancing the utilization of that project. It keeps drilling strong and supports all of the things that natural gas enhances."
"The economic possibilities it represents are just too good to pass up for our region and the entire Commonwealth," Rep. Tina Pickett, who serves Sullivan County, as well as parts of Bradford and Susquehanna counties, concurred. "I supported House Bill 1100 because of the significant number of jobs it would bring to Pennsylvania and the opportunity to use our natural resources for value-added manufactured products."
"Down the road, this will increase the need for additional natural gas production," added Suydam, who sent a letter to Gov. Wolf encouraging his passage of the bill. In it, she wrote, "HB 1100 paired with our prolific natural gas production, robust transportation infrastructure, proximity to market, and workforce will make Pennsylvania economically attractive to these types of projects."
"It's imperative to maximize the investment and the employee impact," Ventello agreed. "Rather than just ship gas out, we need a better understanding of what's happening locally and on a bigger scale."
In addition to manufacturing fertilizer, of which Pennsylvania farmers are currently importing 30 percent of what they need, Kauffer noted that another plant might concentrate on the production of methanol to replace diesel and thereby lower emissions.
When asked what they believed to be the biggest obstacles to the passage of HB 1100, Kauffer and Yudichak cited concerns from environmentalists, who had staged a counter-rally in Harrisburg the day prior, a general dislike of the governor's office for tax credits, and a sense that the state will not have as much control over construction and production as the governor would prefer.
But the investors have to meet eligibility requirements set by the state Department of Revenue, Yudichak put forward. "It's not like there's no levers in place to prevent bad players," he said. And, as he and Suydam noted, the tax credit is only available after construction is complete and the plants are operational.
As for protecting the environment, David N. Taylor, president and CEO of the Pennsylvania Manufacturing Association insisted that the protections are already in place. He referenced a recent study released by the National Academy of Science and the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection that found no evidence of the gas industry negatively impacting aquatic life.
Additionally, Pennsylvania has reduced methane emissions by more than 40 percent in recent years. "These new plants want to capture Methane. That's their product." Taylor continued. "When we do all of these things the right way, we can have it all."
"It's not true that you cannot be both pro-industry and pro-environment," Yudichak agreed.
Edwards and other civic leaders in the Endless Mountains speak to the topic from years of experience. "When I look here in our back yard, the companies that we interact with daily are meeting the expectations that are being set up for them. I can't see that that would be any different with these new plants," he remarked. "When we increase the usage, we are going to see an increase the royalty checks. For family farms that are just holding on, those royalties are a shot in the arm."
To Ventello, the passage of HB 1100 makes sense in light of other uncertainties. "China is an unusual dilemma in that it has to do with the virus – a totally unforeseen issue," he said of the country's current economic slow down and almost no need for America's natural gas. "Maybe demand will go back up and we'll be OK. But we need to do something in the meantime."
Without new opportunities, Fritz warns, the labor pool that legislators are currently touting could dry up. "These folks enjoy Pennsylvania's quality of life. They are living the American dream," Fritz remarked. "But if the jobs and opportunities vanish, they will uproot."
HB 1100 was originally scheduled to reach the governor's desk on March 16. As of Monday afternoon, Fritz and other members of the state House were preoccupied with passing a bill that would allow them to vote remotely as Harrisburg began shutting down around them due to the COVID-19 crisis. The Senate was already out and had not moved HB 1100 to the governor's desk. "It's in a holding patter until the Senate reconvenes, which might not be until April," he stated.

Wolf is a confirmed Progressive who will make his decisions based on his agenda, not on the economic health and welfare of Pennsylvania. He doesn't have to run again so he is padding his leftist credentials. Just look at who he has surrounded himself in his administration.

Swindon: Lawrence Vigouroux, Raphael Rossi-Branco, Nathan Thompson, Lloyd Jones (sub Sean Murray 46), Darnell Furlong, Yaser Kasim, Conor Thomas, John Goddard, Brandon Ormonde-Ottewill, Jonathan Obika, Luke Norris (sub Nathan Delfouneso 87).
Subs not used: Will Henry, Tom Smith, Anton Rodgers, Ellis Iandolo, Jermaine Hylton.
Harry Beautyman came into the Cobblers side for the midweek trip to Swindon, replacing Jak McCourt who picked up a knock in the 4-0 win over Southend. The Swindon side included two former Cobblers loanees, right-back Darnell Furlong and striker Luke Norris.
Seven minutes in and the Cobblers took the lead at the County Ground, Harry Beautyman finishing from close range after a terrific run and turn of pace from winger Paul Anderson to beat two defenders and put the low cross in for Beautyman to snaffle up.
Nathan Thompson went close for Swindon as the home side looked to respond to falling behind while Adam Smith made a good save one-on-one to deny Jonathan Obika.
The Cobblers keeper was again in action on the half hour, making a terrific double save before in the same passage of play some last-ditch defending from first Gabriel Zakuani and then Zander Diamond denied Swindon an equaliser.
Anderson couldn't quite feed in Sam Hoskins as the Cobblers looked to double their lead on the counter-attack while Obika blasted a shot over the bar in first half stoppage time, Smith doing well to narrow the angle.
Swindon equalised midway through the second half, substitute Sean Murray firing a shot into the bottom corner. The goal came just minutes after Matt Taylor's deflected effort went agonisingly wide.
Darnell Furlong curled a shot just wide with the home side in the ascendancy before Kenji Gorre and JJ Hooper came on for Paul Anderson and Harry Beautyman.
The Cobblers re-took the lead on 76 minutes, John-Joe O'Toole with a bullet header from a perfectly delivered Matt Taylor corner.
Kenji Gorre then made it 3-1 following a quick counter-attack started by O'Toole, Alex Revell dummying a JJ Hooper cross to allow Gorre to convert from close range.
Smith comfortably saved a Murray free-kick as the game moved into stoppage time and the Cobblers went on to make it back-to-back wins, continuing their impressive start to the season back in League 1.

Was Michael Jackson involved in hit-run?
PUBLISHED: April 24, 2009 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 29, 2017 at 11:58 a.m.
BEVERLY HILLS – A paramedic in an ambulance sideswiped by a Cadillac Escalade in Beverly Hills took photos, posted on line today, of someone he says was pop star Michael Jackson getting into the SUV before it sped away.
Emergency medical technician Jamin Mauro and his partner were waiting outside a medical building in Beverly Hills on Wednesday when an Escalade hit their ambulance, knocking off one of its mirrors, NBC reported.
"About 30 seconds after, Jackson walked out," Mauro told NBC. "He jumped into the Escalade and they sped off."
Mauro told NBC that he and his partner were banged up in the crash but more upset that the driver didn't stop.
"I don't know if Jackson told him to leave or not," Mauro said. "But they should have stayed."
Mauro told NBC that a nurse confirmed that Jackson had been in the building.
Beverly Hills Police Department spokesman Lt. Tony Lee confirmed that a hit-and-run collision occurred about 3:20 p.m. Wednesday in the alley between Roxbury and Linden drives north of Wilshire Boulevard.
Lee did not mention Jackson but said "the suspect's vehicle was being followed by a group of paparazzi at the time of the collision."
The driver appeared at the Beverly Hills police station Thursday to tell his side of the story and was not arrested, NBC reported.

Man killed by car in East Boston ran restaurant, merchants say
By Travis Andersen Globe Staff,April 18, 2016, 5:11 p.m.
A man fatally struck by a vehicle on Saturday night at a busy East Boston intersection was the proprietor of a local Korean restaurant, neighboring business owners said.
They identified the victim Monday only as Mr. Kim, the affable owner of Orient Heights Korean Japanese Cuisine in the area of Saratoga and Bennington streets, where the fatal crash occurred.
Authorities have not formally identified the man, who was struck at the intersection around 10:15 p.m. Saturday. The driver remained at the scene and has not been charged.
Kim's restaurant was closed Monday afternoon, and a makeshift memorial of candles, flowers, and a balloon was visible.
A message on the balloon read, "We Love You."
Maria Kenney, owner of Cambio Latino grocery store two doors down, said Kim sometimes came in to her shop to watch soccer games on a flat-screen television on the store wall.
"He was very friendly," Kenney said, adding that her business closed about an hour before the crash Saturday.
She said she was shocked to learn Kim was the victim.
An employee at another nearby business, El Paisa Butchery, said she and Kim bonded over their shared Korean heritage.
The woman, who declined to give her name, said she thought Kim was in his 50s or 60s. He sometimes bought vegetables from her store, she said.
Occasionally, the woman said, she would see Kim taking a cigarette break outside his restaurant.
"Too sad," she said of the fatal crash. "He was very nice."
The woman said her sister had informed her of Kim's death, and her initial reaction was, "Oh my God, I can't believe."

MORE DIGITAL ALBUMS RELEASED!!! From Pirate to Pivot; the early recordings of Jon Sonnenberg
I have digitally released some of my earliest recorded songs. Please visit this link for more details
https://pivotclowj.bandcamp.com/album/from-pirate-to-pivot
FloydienSlip April 11, 2016 at 1:19 PM
Great stuff, Jon. Love the original version of "Blackout" and "Freedom Is The Edging To The Garden On The Right." Thanks for releasing all of these tracks!
Anemiccinema April 19, 2016 at 5:34 PM
This is excellent-- thanks for sharing this with us.
Unknown May 8, 2016 at 10:09 PM
Can you give a little more detail on the "So Gullible (original version)" The note on the song says 'This version is from around 1994 or 1995 - Just before I started working with Robert on songs.'? Yet wasn't So Gullible released on Pirate Claug - Identity Crisis on Side B Track 5 in 1991? If so is this maybe a second version done after the Identity Crisis Version Yet before the One released on the Lethal Injection titled So Gullible (v.II.I)? Or this the original Version that actually appeared on Identity Crisis, thus making the recording from 1991?
Anemiccinema October 28, 2016 at 5:44 PM
OK now you have to re-release that "Identity Crisis" release so we can hear that gem.
Jon Sonnenberg May 9, 2016 at 6:49 AM
Ha! I was wondering if anyone would catch that. I realized this after I had put in all the track information... There were actually 3 different versions of 'So Gullible'. Identity Crisis holds the actual "original mix". There was one later version (as you note called v11.1) that was on a compilation called 'Lethal Injection'. The version on "from Pirate to Pivot" is by far my favorite version - it was mixed down around 1994 or so using my friend Byron Kane's DAT player - but nothing beyond mixing was ever done with this version, aside from a few personal copies that Byron had made from a copy he made of my DAT master. I know that I had used an instrumental mix of this version for live backing tracks, but the mix with vocals was buried in the vault until now. The other versions are problematic to me. The Identity Crisis version has a lot of mix and timing problems and the vocals with my "accent" sounds too forced at times. The later version (v11.1) was recorded around 1995 and I had just bought a new condenser microphone - I was so impressed with the clarity of everything with that microphone that I turned the vocals up way to loud in the mix. I find v11.1 hard to listen to because of this. To me, this version, although never previously released, is what I think of when I remember this song and I am glad that I finally got around to sharing it.
Similarly, there was actually 3 versions of "Your Majesty". The first 2 versions were multi track demos of the song and never released. 'The fish who could swallow the sea' contained the 3rd version of this song. I was never really happy with the 1st version and knew that I could do much better things with the song. The 2nd version, which appears on this 'from Pirate to Pivot' compilation, is much more developed and I called it "original version" - which isn't exactly true, but from a catalog point of view, it is true, seeing that I don't ever plan to release version 1 on anything.
Some of the early versions/demos of songs have an integrity that the later versions did not have. Some are just not as good - some even embarrassing. I am fine putting my favorite moments out there and burying the ones that I feel are not as good. As artists, we do this all the time.
There is another compilation of early material that I am working on. There are a lot of songs that I never really mixed down or that I never made new versions of, but I like the songs. The distinction between "from Pirate to Pivot" and the planned "more early works" is that the latter will be completely new mixes of old multi-track recordings, whereas this compilation is 100% unaltered original mixes.
Jon! I think i have found you ;)
From troy high school? About to check out your songs now. I remember going to one of your shows & you were playing the keyboard that night! I am the Girl name Rikki

SCHOOL BOARDS MET
WILL INSTALL PLANING MILL
Lumber Company to Build
Immediately at Lumber
Yard.
Eld Ward, of the Ward Lumber
Company is having built a building at
his lumber yard in which he will in
stall a planning mill.
He went to Portland Friday and pur
chased an engine, a planer, sticker,
rip and band saws, and other machinery
necessary for a first-class planing mill.
The building will be begun at once,
and will be 30x80.
Mr. Ward states that he has made
arrangements with the various mills
over the county to furnish him with
lumber and has as much as 20,000 per
day engaged. The mill will employ at
least four men and as many more as
the demand for the product increases.
He will manufacture all kinds of build
ing materials.
In the Recorder's Court
As announced in The News last
week, the inhering of the various
school boards over the county met at
the court house in Hillsboro, Tuesday
afternoon to discuss and devise means
of freeing themselves from the dilemma
in which they are placid because of
the failure of the county court to levy
a sufficient tax to carry on the number
of months school bargained for. Thirty-
five districts were represented and the
meeting was organized by choosing H.
G. Fitch of Cornelius, chairman, and
Mr. Benefield of Greenville, secretary.
Many speeches were made along the
line of how to cope with the deficiency
and what mode of proceedure to take.
A committee composed of S. B. Hus
ton, C. W. Fitch and ------ was ap
pointed to wait on the county court
and ascertain if some means, or some
plan could not be devised to meet the
trouble and thus permit the schools to
run their allotted time.
Another committee composed of I.
jC. Weitzel, Mr. Benefield and ------
was appointed to confer with County
School Superintendent Case.
It is thought that this course will
terminate satisfactorily.
