They next time someone says to me "the reality is"… I will recite this skit word for word! Ba ha ha.. He makes a good point… most of what we think isn't reality.
I couldn't watch the entire presentation. Reality differs for every individual in accordance with the space one occupies in society. While fear is oftentimes used to control and manipulate us, those who are demonized in our societies live in real fear for their security. Such individuals are not delusional.

Joe Biden Can Win Texas. Here's How.
As Joe Biden prepares to square off with President Donald Trump in the first of three presidential debates tonight in Cleveland, it's hard to reflect on the path that brought Biden to this moment and not remember that the truly seminal moment for his campaign didn't come on a primary debate stage, nor the Iowa caucus or New Hampshire primary, where he placed fourth and fifth respectively in the popular vote. And that moment didn't come on the final Saturday before Super Tuesday, when Biden was able to rise above the rest of the field and capture the only convincing victory of the primary calendar to that point.
The moment where Biden truly calmed the tides of the bruising primary came on March 2nd, when on the eve of Super Tuesday, the single day that the largest tranche of delegates was up for grabs in the 2020 primary, the former Vice President touched down in Dallas, Texas. Rumors were swirling that one of his vanquished rivals, former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigeig, was on a private jet bound for Dallas to throw his support and organization behind Biden. Another, Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar, had already endorsed and was slated to introduce Biden that night in Dallas.
And then there was the tall guy, another former candidate who formed a bond with Biden while passing shoulder to shoulder in diners across Iowa and pre-debate green rooms around the country. Would Beto O'Rourke bless the stage in Dallas that night, harness the energy of his most frenzied supporters and channel it to a Biden victory?
Not only would O'Rourke stride purposefully onto the stage and give a stemwinder of a speech, gripping the mic tightly as the North Texas crowd gazed on, enraptured, but he also boldly pronounced that he and his wife would treat the Bidens to a world class meal before leading them to a nearby Whataburger.
It was over. The moment, the momentum, the nomination, was all for Biden's taking. He would steamroll the opposition across the country on Super Tuesday, propelled by a powerful surge of support among voters who cast their ballot on election day. It kicked off a route on his way to the Democratic nomination. On that night in March, all roads inextricably led to Texas, and they carried Biden home to victory.
As gears shifted to the general election and the Covid-19 pandemic continued to roil our nation, Biden has carried the momentum from the primary over to the general, where he has consistently led Trump by as much as 10 points in recent national polling. Biden has also gotten the better of Trump in a majority of swing state polling, though things have tightened on the state level since Labor Day.
One swing state that the Trump campaign has consistently struggled to get their arms around is the new kid on the block, and the largest potential prize among all the swing states, displacing Florida as the crown jewel of the electoral battleground. This time it's Texas, with its 38 electoral votes and public polling that has, in survey after survey, Biden neck and neck with his rival.
Throughout 2019, Texas Republicans threw as much cold water on the notion that Trump could lose Texas, but as his approval has continued to crater and the massive defections of suburban voters (women in particular) from Trump and Republicans helped propel Democrats to their largest gains in decades in 2018. With the Democrats now just 9 seats away from recapturing a majority in the State House, even the down ballot polling spells doom for Trump, with Democrats in striking distance of victory in over a dozen legislative districts.
This is the moment for Biden and national Democrats to go all in on Texas. Every path to victory you could map for Trump requires him capturing the Lone Star state, and while Joe Biden has more pathways to 270 than Trump does, flipping Texas would make him almost assuredly unstoppable in the electoral college.
In 2016, Hillary Clinton captured 232 electoral votes. If nothing changed from the 2016 map except for a blue Texas, Democrats would capture 270 electoral votes, the exact number needed to clinch the presidency.
It's certainly easier said than done, but in the aftermath of Beto O'Rourke ripping the electoral map in Texas up in 2018 and nearly toppling Ted Cruz, Democrats are closer than ever to claiming victory in Texas. That was the case before recording shattering turnout in the Democratic primary and runoff.
All signs point up for Joe Biden and Texas Democrats. Here are five things he can do to turn the state blue in the closing weeks of the campaign.
It's all about turnout.
If you've followed more than one election cycle you've probably heard dozens of talking heads say some variation of "it all comes down to turnout," which is one of the most readily apparent statements of all time. Of course it's all about turnout. You need more of your supporters to show up than your opponent. That's how you win.
In this respect, Biden is in a unique position. Turnout has been trending upward in the largest counties in Texas for years, and statewide, Texas Democrats have captured a larger proportion of the vote cycle after cycle, with Republicans actually trending down.
That makes juicing up turnout in three counties incredibly important: Dallas, Travis and Harris.
Travis County is easy enough to understand: it's the bluest county in the state and its population has only continued to grow over the last four years. The county Democratic party and community stakeholders have a decades long commitment to voter registration, and if they're able to drive out more Democratic votes in Austin it could not only help boost Biden into office, but could help deliver victories to Wendy Davis, Julie Oliver and Mike Siegel in their congressional races.
Dallas, the second largest county in the state, has been a reliable Democratic stronghold for a decade and a half, and increased turnout here will bode well for Biden and down ballot candidates. Dallas Democrats have been particularly aggressive in recruiting voters to complete the entire ballot for the Democratic ticket, and voters in the suburbs that line Dallas have left the GOP in droves in recent years. Just today, Texas GOP Chairman and Florida Man Allen West practically begged for Trump to come to North Texas to rally support before election day.
Harris, home to Houston, is the true key. The Harris County Democratic Party ran one of the strongest countywide programs in recent memory in 2018, and the diverse coalition of candidates and organizations that have toiled for years to make Harris County as reliably blue as Travis have seen serious gains. The County Clerk, Chris Hollins, has fought to increase access to voting for everyone in Harris County, and that commitment has led to several 24 hour voting locations being established for early voting.
As the largest county in Texas, if Democrats are able to win a statewide office it will likely be due in no small part to what happens in Harris County. Every vote that Biden carries Harris County by will help erase the margin from the 2018 U.S. Senate race, and with a slew of competitive state house and congressional races also working to drive up Democratic turnout, Harris County might bring their vaunted blue wave from 2018 to the rest of Texas.
Who Wins Tarrant County?
In 2018, Beto O'Rourke became the first Democrat to win Tarrant County in a statewide race in a generation. If Joe Biden is able to replicate that performance in the county home to Fort Worth, the implications would be huge for Biden half a dozen state house races that reach into Tarrant County.
Biden is exactly the type of mainstream nominee voters in Tarrant County have long felt could help power down ballot candidates in the county next door to Dallas, and with the slate of State House candidates running the strongest campaigns locals have seen in decades, the bottom-up effect could end up being as helpful to Biden as he is for State House candidates. Democrats continue to leave no stone unturned in their quest to turn Tarrant blue.
It's the suburbs, stupid.
Donald Trump's historically poor performance for a Republican in Texas in 2016 had a number of factors working against it. One of the largest was the defection of suburban women who fled Trump and the Texas GOP in both 2016 and 2018, helping O'Rourke nearly knock Ted Cruz off and leading to a record number of Democratic statehouse victories.
The suburbs are poised to be decisive, both in the Presidential race and for Democrats' hopes of netting key seats for Congress and the Statehouse.
The suburban counties we'll be watching over the home stretch are Williamson County, north of Austin, Collin County in the Dallas suburbs, and Fort Bend County outside of Houston. If Democrats continue making gains in those counties, and Biden is able to either win them or come close, it could pad the margin for Democrats and help get Democrats over the finish line.
BIPOC voters need to hear our message
The key to turning Texas blue in many ways rests with our ability to win communities of color. With Biden leading among Black and Hispanic Texans, there is still room to grow, and every one of those votes could be decisive in a close race.
It is critical that no matter how hard we play for the suburbs or work to drive turnout in the largest cities that we also remain committed to communicating with voters of color and creating space for them in our campaigns. The upside is everything: Beto O'Rourke slightly underperformed Hillary Clinton in South Texas. If he had met her vote share, he very well may have ended up beating Cruz.
If the Biden team and Texas Democrats make smart investments in engaging these communities, it could pay huge dividends for Biden. For all intents and purposes, we are likely locked in a two-point race for president. Every vote matters, and we need every single one to flip the state.
Keep calm and come and take it
The most important thing for Biden to do down the homestretch of this election is to be Biden. This has already been a wildly negative campaign, but Biden has been able to persevere on the strength of his character. With new revelations about Trump's taxes and his continued assaults on the rule of law, the most important thing Biden can do to provide a contrast is to remain decent.
Trump is rooting that chaos will be beneficial to his campaign and help deliver a divided victory. Texans, this can't be emphasized enough, do not want chaos. They don't want impulsivity, and they don't want anyone who doesn't pass muster in their support for our Armed Forces serving as Commander in Chief. If Biden can remain the steady hand and cool head in this race, he can help ease the hearts and minds of a deeply troubled nation.
And, this also can't be emphasized enough, he can win Texas.

Dark brown, small, granular pieces of chicory root that have been roasted.
Often used as a coffee substitute, or blended in equal proportions with ground, dark-roast coffee in order to reduce caffeine intake.
For a New Orleans style coffee, blend 2/3 cup French roast coffee and 1/3 cup chicory root. Brew in a French press, sweeten and add hot milk or cream to your preference.
I had bought a small 4oz bag of chicory first time to try it, and got hooked, however the price was way more then I wanted to keep paying for it. I remembered this company and was so happy to find they had it, bigger size, way better price. Got 1lb bag first to try( along with a host of other goodies) and now I am back and getting much more. I use it everyday. I mix 1 scoop of coffee with about 3/4 scoop of chicory. I do pour over so I make one cup at a time, pretty much all I have time to drink. I recommend this to anyone who likes chicory, it is very good.
I have bought my chicory and other items from Atlantic Spice for years. Always great quality and service. Their chicory root is always fresh, great to make coffee as is or to cut into your favorite brand. I also like that there's no caffeine in chicory and it's good for your blood and liver.

Located 50km offshore from Whakatane, New Zealand's only active marine volcano offers a barren lunar landscape and amazing geothermal activity. Visiting White Island is an expensive day trip and you have the option of visiting either by boat or air. With the exception of the helicopter, flights are purely scenic and you don't get the chance to walk around on the island. Visiting by boat also offers the opportunity to see (and perhaps swim with) dolphins.
Most tours depart from Whakatane, although some may also pick up from Tauranga or Rotorua.
White Island Flights has scenic flights over White Island departing either Rotorua, Tauranga or Whakatane airports. They use fixed-wing planes that are a better value alternative to the more pricey helicopter tours. Scenic flights departing from Whakatane are the best value with a 60-minute flight costing $249. Flights from Tauranga (also 60-minutes) cost $279 and 90-minute flights from Rotorua cost $459. A longer 90-minute flight, taking in both White Island and Mount Tarawera from Whakatane, costs $339 and a longer 2.5 to 3.5-hour scenic flight departing from Whakatane takes in White Island and Mount Tarawera as well as the Waimangu Thermal Valley, Rainbow Mountain, Wai-O-Tapu Geothermal Wonderland, Huka Falls, Lake Taupo, Mount Ngauruhoe, Mount Tongariro and Mount Ruapehu.
A more expensive way to see White Island is by helicopter, which has the advantage of letting you land on the island and walk around. Volcanic Air operate helicopter tours departing from the lakefront in Rotorua. The 2.5 to 3-hour tour of White Island costs $895 and a longer 3.5-hour tour that takes in both White Island and Mount Tarawera (with a landing on both) costs $1,045.
White Island Tours operate a five to six-hour excursion to the island that departs Whakatane and includes a 1 to 1.5-hour exploration of the inner crater. Although the boat tour doesn't give you the same views as a scenic flight, you often get time for a swim and there is the opportunity to see dolphins and whales. The boat tour costs $219.

La Copa Intercontinental 1991 fue la trigésima edición del torneo que enfrentaba al campeón de la Copa Libertadores de América con el campeón de la Copa de Campeones de Europa. Se llevó a cabo en un único encuentro jugado el 8 de diciembre de 1991 en el Estadio Nacional de la ciudad de Tokio, en Japón.

Fue disputada por Colo-Colo de Chile, campeón de la Copa Libertadores 1991, y Estrella Roja de Yugoslavia, campeón de la Copa de Campeones de Europa 1990-91. A pesar de tener de afrontar todo el segundo tiempo con un futbolista menos tras la expulsión de su capitán Dejan Savićević, el conjunto balcánico logró imponerse con una terminante victoria por 3-0. Fue el primer título en la competición para Estrella Roja, y la única vez que un cuadro yugoslavo conseguía coronarse campeón del mundo.

The 1958 New York state election was held on November 4, 1958, to elect the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the State Comptroller, the Attorney General, a judge of the New York Court of Appeals and a U.S. Senator, as well as all members of the New York State Assembly and the New York State Senate.
In January 1957, Jacob K. Javits took his seat in the U.S. Senate and thus vacated the office of New York State Attorney General. On January 9, the New York State Legislature elected Louis J. Lefkowitz to the office for the unexpired term.
The Socialist Labor state convention met on March 23 and nominated Eric Hass for governor; John Emanuel for lieutenant governor; Milton Herder for state comptroller; and Stephen Emery for U.S. Senator. The ticket was ruled off the ballot, but Hass and his fellow nominees continued to campaign as write-in candidates.
The "United Independent Socialist Campaign Committee" met on July 17 and selected John T. McManus for governor; and Dr. Annette T. Rubinstein for lieutenant governor.
The Independent-Socialist Party filed a petition to nominate candidates to five offices on September 9 with the Secretary of State.
The Democratic state convention met on August 25 at Buffalo, New York, and re-nominated Governor W. Averell Harriman and Lt. Gov. George B. DeLuca. The convention continued on August 26 and into the early hours of August 27. They nominated D.A. of New York Frank S. Hogan for the U.S. Senate after a roll call (vote: Hogan 772, Thomas E. Murray 304).
The Republican state convention met on August 26 at Rochester, New York, and nominated Nelson A. Rockefeller for governor.
The Liberal Party met on August 26, and endorsed the Democratic nominees Harriman, DeLuca and Levitt; and nominated Thomas K. Finletter for the U.S. Senate. On August 28, Finletter declined to run, and urged the Liberals to back Hogan. On September 4, the Liberals substituted Democrat Hogan for Finletter on the ticket, but rejected the endorsement of Crotty. They completed the ticket with Edward Goodell for attorney general.

Teckles Photography Inc.As a high school basketball coach, Julie Francis has the opportunity to speak with Eskasoni's young people about social and personal issues.
Two things became clear to Julie Francis during her first year of nursing studies at St. Francis Xavier University.
The first was that she would return to her Mi'kmaq home of Eskasoni to practise. The reserve, located along Bras d'Or Lake in eastern Cape Breton, is the largest community of Mi'kmaq people in the world, with about 4,000 living there.
Today, she is helping to fill that gap in knowledge through her work on Understanding Pediatric Pain in Aboriginal Communities, led by the Centre for Pediatric Pain Research, based out of Halifax's IWK Health Centre, in affiliation with Dalhousie University. Francis is the nurse research coordinator and a community-based researcher on the team.
The team plans to produce a video to share the findings. Meanwhile, First Nations community health centres across Canada have shown interest in becoming involved in the study.
Francis fits her work as a researcher into an already hectic schedule, dictated by her full-time job as one of the community health nurses at the Eskasoni Community Health Centre. After just two years in the position, she appears to have developed a special talent for figuring out what the community's needs are, and she is proactive in finding ways to address those needs.
While continuing to provide support to the girls on the team, Francis also approached the health centre's director with an idea for a series of self-esteem workshops for girls in elementary school. Her director agreed and found funding for the project.

What's the Best Massage for Arthritis in My Back and Neck?
I've recently been diagnosed with arthritis in my back and neck, and the pain of flare-ups can be excruciating. Soreness often lingers for days after I have a flare-up, causing a lot of stress and anxiety. In addition to the soreness, I find that my back and neck are often stiff, which makes it difficult for me to get a good night's sleep. I know massage promotes relaxation, but apart from that, are there any massage techniques that could help ease my arthritis pain?
Pain from arthritis in your back and neck can be debilitating, and seriously interfere with your usual daily activities. The good news is that regular massage therapy may not only ease your soreness and general tension, it can also reduce your overall symptoms of arthritis over time. Regular massage therapy may even reduce the number and frequency of flare-ups. This can happen because massage can stimulate your body to release its own endorphins that block the pain signal, according to the University of Washington Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine Clinic.
The Arthritis Foundation points to research done at the University of Miami School of Medicine that showed weekly massages coupled with daily massages significantly reduced arthritis-related pain and increased the range of motion in patients' necks. Further studies have demonstrated improvements in pain, stiffness, range of motion, and overall function of joints with regular massage therapy.
Even if you don't see a significant reduction in your arthritis pain, you can still benefit from regular massage therapy. Massage treatment reduces tension, improves circulation, and can loosen stiff joints to give you increased mobility. You may also have decreased soreness and find it easier to get a full night's rest.
You don't have to disrupt your schedule to have regular sessions with a licensed massage therapist. Schedule your sessions at a place and time that works for you – you can even have the therapist come to your home for maximum privacy and comfort. Tell your massage therapist about your arthritis, and if you've had any flare-ups recently. Start with a more gentle Swedish massage. If you see results, you may want to progress to deep tissue massage for more targeted therapy of your back and neck.
Plan massage sessions once a week or once every other week. In between sessions, there are basic ways you can massage your neck on your own to maximize the benefits of the treatment. Ask your massage therapist for techniques you can practice on your own, or talk to your doctor about using massage therapy to help treat your arthritis.

Joseph M. Swing
Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization, May 24, 1954 - Jan. 5, 1962
A native of Jersey City, New Jersey, Joseph M. Swing graduated from West Point Military Academy in 1915 in the same class as Dwight D. Eisenhower. Swing's military career spanned five decades, beginning during the 1916 campaign against Mexican revolutionary Pancho Villa.
During the Great War, Swing served in France as a Captain in the field artillery. In 1926 he graduated as an honor student from the field artillery school at Fort Hood. Swing then served as an instructor at Fort Hood until 1931. Re-assigned to Washington, D.C., he graduated from the Army War College in Washington in 1935. As a Major General during World War II, Swing commanded the 11th Airborne Division in the Southwest Pacific. After the surrender of Japanese forces, the 11th Airborne was selected as the first unit to occupy Japan and, on August 30, 1945, Swing led the first air-transported troops to Tokyo. Thereafter, he assumed responsibility for occupying force on the island of Hokkaido and the northern portion Honshu. In February of 1948, Swing assumed command of the I Corps, headquartered in Kyoto, Japan.
Upon his return to the United States in 1949, Swing became commandant of the Army War College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. In 1951, he was named commanding General of the Sixth Army at the Presidio in San Francisco. Swing held that billet until he retired from active duty on February 28, 1954.
After Swing's retirement from the military, President Eisenhower, his friend and former classmate, nominated him to serve as Commissioner of Immigration and Naturalization. The Senate confirmed Swing's nomination and he began his tenure as Commissioner on May 24, 1954. During his eight years as head of INS, Swing over saw a reorganization of the Service and implemented programs designed to attain more aggressive enforcement of immigration and deportation policies. He retired from the INS in 1961. Swing died on December 9, 1984, at the age of 90.

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles delivers 170,000 vehicles worldwide in first 4 months of 2019
May 23, 2019 commercial vehicles, Volkswagen
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles (VWCV) has delivered 170,000 vehicles worldwide from January until April. Compared to the same period last year, this corresponds to an increase of 5.4 per cent. The largest sales region was Western Europe with 119,500 vehicles (+7.6 per cent).
The delivery volume in Western Europe was highly influenced by the core markets:
Germany: 44,900 vehicles (+4.1 per cent)
UK: 16,600 vehicles (+1.7 per cent)
Spain: 6,600 vehicles (+34.8 per cent)
France: 6,300 vehicles (+2.9 per cent)
Italy: 4,500 vehicles (+20.7 per cent)
In Eastern Europe 16,000 vehicles were delivered in the first four months of the year (+27.2 per cent).
So far this year, the brand has delivered 2,700 vehicles (+17.1 per cent) to customers in Mexico (North American market) and 13,000 vehicles (-11.4 per cent) to customers in South America.
The delivery volume in Africa has almost doubled with 8,100 vehicles compared to the same period last year (+49.1 per cent).
Asia-Pacific and Middle East
The deliveries in the Asian-Pacific and Middle East regions decreased to 6,800 units (-11.9 per cent) and 3,900 units (-48.2 per cent).
Brand deliveries according to model ranges (January – April 2019):
T series: 67,100 vehicles (+6.9 per cent)
Caddy: 54,400 vehicles (-3.1 per cent)
Amarok: 24,800 vehicles (-4.0 per cent)
Crafter: 23,600 vehicles (+43.1 per cent)
In April, VWCV delivered 44.500 vehicles worldwide. This is a slight decrease of 4.3 percent compared to the same month last year. The reason for the difference of around 2,000 vehicles is disproportionately high deliveries in April 2018 after a temporary delivery stop of T6 vehicles with passenger car registration.

Trey McIntyre Project's Farewell Tour Entertaining
Author, Beyond Isadora: Bay Area Dancing, 1916-1965. Regent Press, Berkeley, CA, 2009. Contributor to reviews on culturevulture.net
The Trey McIntyre Project (TMP) came to Berkeley for a weekend of farewell performances. Artistic director Trey McIntyre was disbanding his Idaho-based company after events this June at Jacob's Pillow in Massachusetts. He will turn his attention to film and TV. As a contemporary ballet company, TMP specialized in high energy, athletic, acrobatic, lively…and sometimes humorous dances.
The program featured two ballets,the world premiere of "The Vinegar Works: Four Dances of Moral Instruction," and the west coast premiere of "Mercury Half-Life".
"The Vinegar Works" took its title from the writer/cartoonist Edward Gorey's book of the same name. Volume I, the poems of "The Gashlycrumb Tinies are morbid and satirical but well mimed and designed. Research provided the following background: Gorey tells the tale of 26 children (each representing a letter of the alphabet) and their untimely deaths in rhyming dactylic couplets, accompanied by the author's distinctive black and white illustrations.
Gorey's book was adapted for the stage by Brue Bui, (costumes), Raqel Davis, (Lighting) and Dan Luce and Michael Curry (Puppets and Prop Design). These designs (especially the large Death puppet) dominated the presentation. Brett Perry gave the alphabetical rhymes in dance/mime. His skilled performance set the tone for the rest. John Speed Or, Chanel DaSilva, Benjamin Behrends and Amber Mayberry in "the Beastly Baby", Travis Walker, Ashley Werhun and Rachel Sherak as "The Deranged Cousins" and the collected group in the finale, "The Disrespectful Summons" all performed marvelously. "The Vinegar Works" really worked for me.
For this reviewer, the second number on the show "Mercury Half Life" set to the music of rock group Queen did not please. The choreographic structure, often seen these days, consists of an endless number of solos and duets, interrupted by short choruses danced in various states of dress and undress. The ballet's white costumes by Melissa Schlactmeyer were the most intriguing…white jackets and skirts that were stripped down to panties and shirts. The movement was lively, acrobatic and jazzy. It consisted of ballet lifts and modern dance falls interspersed with some tap dancing. The audiences howled with delight to hear the songs "We Will Rock You" and "We Are The Champions.
On the whole, TMP's program provided excellent entertainment, superb dancing, but limited choreographic design.

Flaxseeds are the richest plant source of Omega-3 fatty acids and contain fiber. They protect your bones, have anti-inflammatory benefits and help to lower cholesterol and control blood pressure. They have also been shown to be especially beneficial to women. They reduce hot flashes in postmenopausal women. Like walnuts, they are small and convenient and pack a powerful health punch.
Pomegranates might be the best source if antioxidants. Antioxidants destroy free radicals and strengthen your immune system. They also contain various vitamins and minerals such as folic acid, potassium, calcium and vitamin C. Pomegranates help protect your heart, and even prevents the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Believe all the hype, pomegranates really are superfoods.
Yogurt contains more calcium than other dairy product and is full of powerful probiotics that regulate your digestive track. Probiotics are healthy bacteria that assist with digestion, maintain urogenital health, and aid in nutrient absorption. If you have a sensitive stomach or suffer from irritable bowel syndrome than adding yogurt to your diet could dramatically improve your health. Try mixing some whole grains with yogurt for breakfast, it is delicious and nutritious. Better yet, add some walnuts and flaxseeds as well.
While there are many more superfoods, these six are some of the most potent. By choosing these foods you are getting the most nutrition calorie for calorie. This will help you maintain lean muscle while helping you burn fat and stay healthy.


Less than 24 hours after crippling U.S. sanctions went into effect targeting primarily Iran's energy sector, and hours after SWIFT suspended Iranian banks from accessing the global financial messaging system, succumbing to pressure from the Trump White House, Iran's Foreign Minister Javad Zarif has published the Islamic Republic's official statement in response.
In a 3-minute video posted to YouTube and published by official government social media accounts featuring Zarif standing in front of Tehran during what appears to be the early morning hours of Tuesday in Iran, the FM condemned what he called the "absurd, unlawful, and fundamentally flawed" anti-Iran sanctions that went into effect Monday and called out the "hypocritical claims of the Trump administration". He confirmed that Iran has rejected the White House's latest demands articulated alongside the sanctions, and declared willingness to do battle against Washington's economic warfare for the long haul.
We have weathered difficult times in the face of 40 years of American hostility, relying solely on our own resources. And today we and our partners across the globe will ensure that our people are least effected by this indiscriminate assault in the economic warfare that directly targets the Iranian people.
Among the repeat themes of the short speech was an emphasis of "America's isolation" and the global community's willingness to stand by Iran as it "weathers the storm". He also noted that Washington's sanctions will only hurt ordinary Iranian citizens.
The administration appears to believe that imposing illegal draconian sanctions on Iran... will force us to submit to its will.
Rather than relying on its discredited unilateral addiction to unilateralism and sanctions as tools of statecraft which are today pushing it further into global isolation. The U.S. is better off addressing the catastrophes and crises it has engineered in our region.
"In Afghanistan, the U.S. created al-Qaeda to fight the Soviets."
"Or Iraq, where it supported Saddam Hussein, including his use of chemical weapons against Iran."
"Or the later invasion of Iraq to supposedly rid Saddam of those very weapons of mass destruction."
"Support for Saudi Arabia and Israel blinds to the US..."
The foreign minister appeared calm and collected as he delivered his even-toned presentation before the camera — a far cry from the "death to America" chants reportedly echoed by protesters on the streets of Tehran and other cities which started last weekend.
Trump's predecessors also began crafting their Iran policy with similar bravado but came around to accepting and respecting the reality of Iran as they became more experienced in office.
As we noted before it's true that Europe is trying to disengage itself from the US sanctions, but so far with little success. Its leaders are begging in vain for an exemption for trade in food and medicine to reduce the population's suffering.
However, Trump is determined – even if these measures are harmful to the European economy – to prevent any transactions between Iran and Europe. This is one of the main reasons why the European continent is looking at implementing a long-term strategy specifically to disengage itself from the Swift messaging service used by banks and financial institutions for all trade transactions worldwide.
But it remains that Tehran is not standing alone against the US and is waiting to see what course global sanctions will take before taking further steps in reacting. Officials in Tehran, convinced that Trump will win a second term, are preparing for a long siege.

College staff strike back over cuts in Chesterfield
Striking lecturers at Chesterfield College won enormous support when they walked out this week against cuts.
The UCU union members struck on Tuesday of this week to defend jobs and pay. Lecturers from local colleges visited picket lines along with workers from the GMB, Unison, PCS and Unite unions, students and ex-students.
James Eaden works at the college and is also on UCU's national executive. He told Socialist Worker, "We've had very good picket lines with lots of first-time pickets out.
"Even someone who crossed the picket line on 10 May was out picketing today because she is so outraged at what the college is doing."
Management at the college want to axe 39 teaching staff by the end of the academic year and are attacking pay.
Ebony, an hourly-paid lecturer, is on the front line of the attacks. "I took a pay cut last year," she said. "This year they want another 15 percent.
"People have an idea that lecturers get a lot of money but we don't. I only get paid for the hours I teach, which can be as little as nine hours a week."
Management attacks have been too much for some workers. One lecturer described how she felt she had "no option" but to take voluntary redundancy.
"I don't want to leave—I love teaching," she said. "But I've had the threat of redundancy hanging over me for 18 months. I'm devastated."
Nonetheless, the strength of the strike shows that there is a determined mood to fight back. James said, "We have a live mandate for strikes. If management don't withdraw the cuts we can take more action."

Life After Project Runway Season Six – Sooo Fabulous!
I guess we should all practice pronouncing Irina Shabayeva's last name.
Because whether we like it or not, she ran away with top honors on Project Runway's Season Six. And we'll probably be seeing a whole lot more of her.
Now that I've got that out of the way, allow me to share some quick facts about Season Seven.
It premieres Thursday, January 14, 2010 at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
Mentor Tim Gunn isn't going anywhere!
For the first time, the show will be shot and distributed in High-Definition (HD), setting the precedent for all future tapings.
Models of the Runway will again follow Project Runway, this time without that designer-model loyalty stuff that annoyed the hell out of me (us?) every week.
Remember, if there's anything Project Runway you missed, you can watch full episodes on MyLifetime.com.

Every woman wants to look and feel her best. There are a million ways that you can try to go about this, but we have found that going to the spa is the best option! So treat yourself today while simultaneously preventing or correcting ageing and improving your confidence.
While it's enjoyable and great for your skin to go to the spa, remember that it is just as important to perform preventative healthy habits at home! Make sure to moisturize every day as well as apply SPF. Moisturizing your skin daily helps with elasticity and keeps it soft and hydrated. Applying SPF daily is extremely important because it will actually prevent wrinkles, sunspots, and even skin cancer.
From first thought, chemical peels can sound rather scary. However, they are completely safe and actually can have many positive results. Chemical peels basically remove the top layer of dead skin from your face in order to reveal the soft, supple skin that is underneath it.
If you are thinking of getting a chemical peel, there are many different kinds. For this reason, make sure to always consult a professional and trained Esthetician or Dermatologist to find the best option for you.
Microdermabrasion is another form of removing the top layer of skin. However, instead of using chemicals it uses a extremely small beads to exfoliate the epidermis. Studies show that repeated regular microdermabrasion treatments produce the best results.
After a microdermabrasion procedure, your skin will be better to better absorb moisturizers and medical creams as the barrier has been broken down.
What is microcurrent? Basically, you can think of it as a non-surgical face-lift that can take five to seven years off of your skin. It tones face muscles by applying a low level of electrical current to your face. Don't worry, it doesn't hurt because it mirrors your body's natural current. Microcurrent facials can be used as a one time facial pick me up for a special event, or can be done multiple times in a row in order to achieve longer lasting, more visible results.
Amino acid production is triggered, which lifts muscles and quickens cellular repair.

Home > Latest news > Excuses, excuses
HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) has revealed the worst excuses it has heard over the previous year from people filing late tax returns.
The list, which was released ahead of the 31 January deadline for filing tax returns online, contains claims that were used in unsuccessful appeals against penalties imposed for late returns. Failed excuses included:
My tax papers were left in the shed and the rat ate them
I'm not a paperwork-orientated person – I always relied on my sister to complete my returns but we have now fallen out
My accountant has been ill
My dog ate my tax return
I will be abroad on deadline day with no internet access so will be unable to file
My laptop broke, and so did my washing machine
My niece had moved in and she made the house so untidy I could not find my log-in details to complete my return online
My husband ran over my laptop
I had an argument with my wife and went to Italy for five years
I had a cold which took a long time to go
An initial fixed £100 penalty is charged for late tax returns, even if there is no tax to pay, followed by further penalties if the return remains outstanding. HMRC has said that it will not accept spurious excuses for late returns, but recognises that some taxpayers may have difficulties completing them on time.
HMRC has also produced a compendium of personal expenses claims included in 2013/14 Self-Assessment tax returns. They are:
The costs for storing Mars bars overnight in a fridge
The cost of a pair of flip flops so I don't have to walk barefoot between my work's changing and shower rooms
The costs for my intimate waxing
I bought a second hand car to get me from home to work so I didn't have to walk
I purchased my own flat, so I need to claim back the money I spent on the furniture
Ruth Owen, HMRC Director General of Personal Tax, said: "There are a number of items and expenses that people can claim against, such as genuine business costs and items needed to do a job. But a painful beauty regime or the furniture for your own home are not items that every taxpayer in the country should be contributing towards. It's wrong that a small minority of people expect the honest majority to subsidise their lifestyle and HMRC will never allow for these to be processed as genuine claims."

Solemn place located at the entrance of the so-called City of Che. The memorial is the burial place of the heroic guerrilla leader and most of his comrades killed in the Bolivian jungles during the second half of the 1960's. The monumental complex was the idea of José Delarra and has become a place of obliged visit for tourists coming to the city.
The visitor will be able to know all the details about the facts that took place in the final battle of the Rebel Army during the takeover of the city of Santa Clara in 1959. In its halls, we find a harmonious collection of artwork, varied documents, furniture, and other utensils from the 19 th and 20 th centuries.
It is located in the very core of the city, across from the beautiful Parque Vidal. It treasures excellent furniture or highly valuable artistic pieces dating back to the 18 th century. Moving along its halls allows the visitor to appreciate the development of furniture design through time.
The appearance and further development of traditional parties of the Remedios municipality, identified as "Parrandas remedianas", are shown in the museum. Since the moment of its appearance, this sort of carnival competes with its analogues at the locations of Vueltas and Camajuaní. The museum exhibits models, lamps, garments, and many other objects that identify this homely territory.

Juan Crow do not exist except in minds of those who think they are "immigrants" when they are "Illegal aliens" and there is a difference in the way immigrants are treated and the way illegal immigrants are. American do not like anyone who enteres this country illegally no matter where they are from.
It is an insult to Afro-Americans to refer to illegal aliens as be treated as Jim Crow.
That allegation do not fly and never will. Illegal aliens do not have a right to be here, a right to civil rights are to be treated any way except arrested and deported with their children no mattere where they were born.
If they do not like the way they are being treated, they can leave and they can not come.
We do not change our laws to please anyone who breaks our laws. Illegal aliens will always be treated like the criminals they are.
If we do not enforce our laws, we are a lawless nation. Never will that be.
Thanks for your comment, Halley. As far as immigrants having rights, you might want to look at the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other documents the U.S. government has signed but not implemented, as in the case of those international laws regarding the sovereignty U.S. corporations and the U.S. military regularly and violently violate. Oh, and you might want to actually read my piece, where I ask real African Americans about their opinions. So, you might want to let go of that other, rather irksome Jim Crow-era habit of speaking for black people. Gracias.
sounds like no compassion either, Dan. Thanks anyway as you're helping folks see how deep the rabbit hole of unfeeling is right now.
As a mexico-americano I am in generally sympathy with the content and tone of your article. However, I think that you and other activists lose credibility by identifying the historic struggles of African-Americans, whose anscestors came here in chains, and Latinos (and let's face it, that's who this is all about) who have crossed the border illegally and with indifference and even contempt for our laws. I know for a fact that no country in Latin America is as tolerant of immigrants as is the USA, and that no Latin American government would tolerate such massive border crossings to the detriment of its infrastructure and social services. The root of the problem lies in the corrupt and backward governments that have neglected the plight of the "immigrants." (NAFTA certainly did not help matters.) Furthermore, credibility is lost when blame is properly attributed to (exploitative) employers-and not the workers- but then protests are launched when the government cracks down on those same employers. In the long run the interests of our compatriotas in their home countries will not be served by conflating the issue of illegal "immigration" with the titanic, historic struggle of black Americans. I grew up in a mixed neighborhood of blacks and mexicanos and I recall pervasive racism on the part of latinos toward blacks-and it was almost always one way…Peace…Incidentally, I am approaching a renewal of my driver's license and I do not appreciate the reference to the person continuing to drive without one- and no doubt without insurance.
Thanks, Manuel. You clearly either didn't actually read the article or simply read past the parallels drawn by African Americans like the Rev. Joseph Lowery, who fought alongside Martin Luther King. I take offense that you are speaking for the black community in the same way white supremacist and hate groups are suddenly "concerned" about the "Latino threat" to African Americans. Beyond being overly cliche, the amount of codes and buzs words (driver's license, corrupt Mexican government, USA, etc.) in your comments make them sound strikingly like a Lou Dobbs show.
