Twin gets prison for attack that left victim disfigured
His brother awaits trial for May 26 assault on Northwest Side
Peter Versluys sentenced to prison Sept. 4 for brutal May attack on prostitute
Author: John Hogan
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WZZM) - One of two brothers who savagely beat a prostitute was sentenced to more than 23 years in prison Thursday for the late May assault on the city's northwest side.
Peter James Versluys will serve between 23 and 50 years for armed robbery and first-degree criminal sexual conduct causing injury. Kent County Circuit Court Judge Dennis Leiber also slapped him with a 6- to 15-year term for savagely beating the victim after he and his twin brother had sex with her. The sentences will run concurrent.
During sentencing Thursday,Versluys said he had been drinking and was high on LSD when the attack occurred.
His brother, Michael Versluys, has opted to take his chances before a jury in October.
The 29-year-old twins had just finished a sexual engagement with the woman when Peter held her down and Michael pummeled her in the head with a club as she begged for her life, according to court testimony.
The May 26 assault left the victim disfigured; she suffered nine broken bones. Doctors used metal pins and screws to fuse her bones and pieced her scalp together with eight surgical staples. She was hospitalized several days in serious condition.
The assault ended with the brothers ripping off the woman's pants trying to get money out of her pockets. Left to die in an abandoned home, the 33-year-old woman said she managed to walk out covered in a blanket and seek help at a party store on Leonard Street NW.
She was acquainted with the brothers and provided police with information that led to their quick arrests.
Peter Versluys was on probation for passing bad checks in Ottawa County when the assault occurred. He was released from prison last year. Prison records show that he has six tattoos. A chest tattoo reads "kill 'em all.''
Another tattoo reads Psalm 23:4, referring to the Bible passage "yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.''

Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer Announced as First Vehicles to Integrate Fire TV for Auto
Uconnect 5 platform and Fire TV for Auto interact seamlessly for access to TV shows, movies, games, Alexa, vehicle features and more
2022 Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer vehicles first to offer Fire TV built-in and unique-to-brand capabilities
In-car connectivity allows passengers to stream their favorite shows together or separately while staying linked to their digital lives in a totally immersed experience
March 4, 2021 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - The soon-to-be revealed Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer, which will debut on March 11, will be the first vehicles in the automotive industry to integrate Amazon Fire TV for Auto, giving passengers access to their favorite shows, movies, apps, unique vehicle features and Alexa.
Fire TV for Auto seamlessly communicates directly with the Uconnect 5 system, expanding on Alexa Auto in-vehicle technology to help drivers stay focused on the road and keep passengers entertained. Content syncs with an existing Amazon account like other Fire TV devices, making it easy to navigate favorite apps and resume playback of a show. With Fire TV built-in, customers can pause a show in their home and seamlessly continue watching once they get into their vehicle.
"The all-new 2022 model-year Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer are designed and engineered to set a new standard for American premium in the large SUV segment," said Christian Meunier, Jeep® Brand Chief Executive Officer - Stellantis. "Launching Fire TV for Auto as an industry-first technology to the Wagoneer lineup illustrates one of the many ways we intend to deliver class-leading technology and connectivity to our customers."
Fire TV for Auto builds on the Fire TV experience that exists today with unique features that include:
Passengers can view Fire TV in high definition from the rear seats and the front passenger screen (a privacy filter disables driver viewing). When the vehicle is in park, the driver also can view Fire TV on the main Uconnect 5 screen
Touchscreen controls and support for compatible content can be downloaded on trips where wireless service is limited or to save on data
A Fire TV for Auto-specific remote provides control of the experience and includes push-to-talk access to Alexa, making it easy to find and quickly play shows
The remote includes a button that connects Fire TV with the new Uconnect 5 system for control of vehicle features, such as climate, maps and more
"We reimagined Fire TV for the automobile with a purpose-built experience that delivers the best in entertainment, anywhere you go," said Sandeep Gupta, Vice President and General Manager of Amazon Fire TV. "With Fire TV built in, customers can stream their favorite shows, see if they left the lights on at home with Alexa, and take advantage of unique controls through the Uconnect system."
With Fire TV for Auto, the Uconnect experience continues to expand its functionality outside of the vehicle. Fire TV for Auto will be packaged with other connected services and made available in fall 2021 in Canada, Mexico and the United States.
In-car technology continues to grow in importance to buyers. Uconnect 5 is more helpful, content rich, connected and adds greater personalization, making it the most advanced Uconnect offering ever. With future growth in mind, the advanced Uconnect 5 architecture is scalable across all Stellantis brands and preps for the integration of advanced technology. Additionally, Uconnect 5's Android operating system lays a foundation, bringing access to a broad catalog of applications to answer the rapidly developing demand for an improved user experience.
Wagoneer returns as a premium extension of the Jeep® brand while continuing its legacy as the original premium SUV. Building on a rich heritage of premium American craftsmanship while offering a new level of comfort, legendary 4x4 capability and customer service, Wagoneer forges a new path – one that defines the new standard of sophistication, authenticity and modern mobility.

MEDIA ADVISORY: Reveal of the All-new 2022 Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer Planned for March 11


My Quest for "Career Bliss"–Yes, it Exists!
If you are interested in trying out new flavors, we'll be pleased to deliver them straight to your email, just leave the address here.
My reactions were threefold. Horror, admiration for the kind of love that could make such a statement, and finally, obsessive thought.
Imagine, believers, what it would be like to be "cut off from Christ". To no longer have the kind whispers of the Holy Spirit guiding you from the inside. To lose your covenant with God. Imagine being cursed, doomed, condemned; lost to Him forever. Imagine never being able to get Him to turn His face toward you, after being intimately acquainted with His love and irrevocable righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21). 1 John 4:16 says that we have known and believed the love God has for us. We know it inside ourselves. Imagine losing that knowledge; that faith. To be nothing but an ache, never satisfied. To know that every unbeliever and backslidden Christian on earth has endless opportunities to run into the Father's open arms—but not you.
The very thought makes me queasy. It is past my full comprehension. I wonder how Paul could care about his people so much that he would be willing to trade his salvation so they could have theirs. For my part, there is only one thing I would never let go of, even for the salvation of an entire nation: my covenant, salvation, relationship (whatever you want to call it) with God. I don't want to admit it, but I just couldn't. My life, body, relationships, or livelihood, maybe. I'd like to think that with the strength and courage of the Holy Spirit living in me, I could give all these up for love. But I could never give up God Himself. He is my one true addiction. I make no sense without Him. He is the author of every good thing I have become. Without Him, I am nothing. Without Him, there is no such thing as me.
I would like to point out that the tormented existence I'm describing will NEVER happen to you if you accept Christ into your heart. It doesn't matter who you are or what your life is like or what you have done. You can always come to Jesus. He waits, arms wide open, to wash your filthy soul and stained reputation. He will clothe you in robes whiter than snow. He wants you even more than you want Him, and He will never stop seeking to adopt you as His own. God's door is open, so that you and I can come running to Him. Seek the Lord while you can find Him, call on Him now while he is near, and you will not be put to shame (Isaiah 55:6, Psalm 25:3).
And if you already know Christ but find that you have strayed from His commandments, then remember that you can always return to His love. He is ever-forgiving and would never turn you away (John 6:37). His love is available to anyone who will take it. If you have accepted it, rejoice! You will never, ever have to sacrifice that relationship. The day will never come when you must choose between keeping your salvation, and giving a loved one theirs. It could be that you end up risking your life for such a thing, but not your salvation. Rebirth in Christ is yours forever. Paul mulled over the concept of exchanging his own salvation for that of his people, but he never had the option to do so.
In light of this, why is Paul's remark even in the Bible? On the surface it seems irrelevant. But as we know that the Scripture is "God-breathed" (2 Timothy 3:16) and that every word of Paul's letters was given him by the Holy Spirit, there has to be more to the story.
And there is. It is meant to point us towards Jesus. I had not meditated on this verse for five seconds before it occurred to me that the awful proposition of Romans 9:3 had already happened. Just once.
There was a man who loved God with everything he had. God favored him and called him His "beloved Son", in whom He was "well pleased". This man was connected to the Father in every possible way. In point of fact, He is in His very nature, God (Philippians 2:6). 1 John 4 states twice that "God is love". Well, we call this man Jesus Christ, and He is love. Love is the very substance His spirit is made of. And it's because He loved us that He chose to be separated from God on Calvary.
Let me explain. When I speak of a Christian's "relationship" with God, here's what I'm talking about.
Think about it. We. Have. Peace. With. God. That means two things: we are (or can choose to be) at peace with the Creator of the universe; and the Creator of the universe is at peace with us. This is huge. It's what both God and mankind have craved since the third chapter of Genesis. No matter what happens, I can count on peace with God. I can count on His listening ear, on His lavish and gentle hand in my life. No force in existence has the power or the right to steal my peace. If I have peace with God, then I can have peace about everything and in every situation.
Back to Christ's separation from God. I believe this is a key piece to the "punishment that brought us peace". In the past, I tended to only consider the punishment Jesus took for us through the crucifixion. But on Valentine's Day, the very worst torture Christ ever suffered was revealed to me; something worse than just dying in the flesh. He was cut off from God. Since Christ is God, the sensation must have been akin to that of sawing off His head with His own hands. (Even this description is inadequate. How much more pain can God feel than the sensations of human imagination?) Part of the eternal relationship of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; Christ found Himself forsaken. He was severed from the presence of the Father, away from His sight and His love. I finally understood the meaning of Christ's words on the cross, words that had confused me all my life. "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Christ, laden with all the filth of the ages—every sin of the past; every sin of the future, was exactly what Paul described. Cursed. Cut off from God. He, love personified, became sin (2 Corinthians 5:21, Galatians 3:13). God couldn't look at Him. He turned His face away from His Son.
The Lord wants His children to know that our greatest fear, alienation from Him, was destroyed on the cross. When human beings are estranged from God, we become nothing more than bleeding mutations; helpless. Jesus cried out, but there was no help for Him. Remember, He endured that so we would never have to. Bottom line? God will NEVER forsake you (Matthew 28:20). He got punishment. We got peace. Don't ever let yourself think that God is turning His face away from you. He has never and will never turn away from His children. He will always listen to you, always watch over you, and always be there for you.
This belongs to us. The Bible says so. The war between Heaven and earth is over.
I often call my salvation my "peace with God". And I often call that peace freedom. I suppose you've heard the phrase "freedom isn't free"? It's true. Freedom always costs something. As far as I have been able to discern, true freedom has only ever been purchased with blood. And mine was bought with the blood of Jesus. You see, to make peace with God after all that mankind has been guilty of, somebody had to be punished. The problem is that even if we got what we deserved and the entire earth was nothing more than a heap of ash in outer space, we would still have unpaid debts of sin. We overdrew our accounts, and it was going to take nothing short of the perfect blood of Jesus, God in the flesh, to wash the evil away. Even more important than that, however, is John 3:16: ". . . God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten son . . ." It's obvious that God's reason for sending His Son, our Prince of Peace, the author of our freedom, is because of love. His will is for no one to perish (2Peter 3:9). He wanted to defeat our sin with forgiveness, not wrath. So God the Father chose to punish his own Son. Jesus: fully man, fully God, fully obedient to the Father. His pure, sinless blood paid the price of punishment God's glory required on our behalf.
We couldn't do the good we knew we ought to. We couldn't sort out the chaos we'd created. We couldn't fix what we'd broken, return what we'd stolen, or unlock the shackles we had made ourselves. So He did it for us. After all that, still we were precious to Him. We will always be precious to Him. To Jesus, we are more valuable than His own life. That . . . is love.
And what happened after all this? We were made the righteousness of God in Christ. We wear His cleanness like a robe (2 Corinthians 5:21, Isaiah 61:10). And, thank God, "The fruit of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever" (Isaiah 32:17). Peace Forever. It's one of the titles of history's great love story—that between God and man, wherein sin was defeated and love prevailed.
Many thanks to sassycare for her sterling advice, edits, and expansions.
But I think another part of the answer must also be that the depth of the Son's suffering was the measure of his love for the Father's glory. It was the Father's righteous allegiance to his own name that made recompense for sin necessary. And so when the Son willingly took the suffering of that recompense on himself, every footfall on the way to Calvary echoed through the universe with this message: the glory of God is of infinite value!
And so when the Father forsook the Son and handed him over to the curse of the cross and lifted not a finger to spare him pain, he had not ceased to love the Son. In that very moment when the Son was taking upon himself everything that God hates in us, and God was forsaking him to death, even then the Father knew that the measure of his Son's suffering was the depth of his Son's love for the Father's glory, and in that love the Father took deepest pleasure.

In Detroit, Senator Stabenow Releases Report on the Impact of Climate Crisis in Michigan
DETROIT – U.S. Senator Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) today released a report on the impact of the climate crisis on Michigan at a press conference with stakeholders in Detroit. Speakers discussed the impact of the climate crisis on Michigan and how clean energy can be part of the solution.
"Science is clear. The climate crisis is already impacting Michigan's public health, our Great Lakes, agriculture and our economy," said Senator Stabenow. "While there is no silver bullet to address this crisis, Michigan is poised to lead the way in finding solutions. Our state's investments in renewable and zero emission electricity, energy efficiency and new vehicle technologies are already creating good-paying jobs, lowering the cost of energy and reducing the impact of the climate crisis."
Senator Stabenow's new report titled "The Climate Crisis and Michigan" documents scientific research on the impact of climate change in Michigan. The impact on our Great Lakes can be seen in extreme water levels in coastal communities, unprecedented algal blooms in our lakes, and extreme rain overwhelming local infrastructure and flooding homes. The impact on public health includes more smog hurting children and adults with asthma and greater exposure to disease-carrying mosquitoes and ticks.
The report outlines how Michigan is uniquely positioned to address the climate crisis through clean energy vehicles and infrastructure, renewable and zero emission electricity, and improved energy efficiency. Michigan currently ranks first in the Midwest for clean energy jobs and fifth in the country, and Metro Detroit had the third most clean energy patents of major metropolitan areas in the country.
Already, Michigan has more jobs in advanced transportation than any other state in the country, and 25,000 of these jobs are associated with electric and hybrid vehicles. The widespread adoption of electric and fuel-cell vehicles, and continued improvements to internal-combustion engines, can significantly reduce carbon emissions as well as local air pollution.
Michigan is transitioning towards a cleaner energy portfolio and numerous cities have committed to achieving as much as 100% renewable energy generation in the coming decades. There are more than 11,400 renewable energy jobs in Michigan, including more than 10,000 focused on the manufacturing and installation of wind turbines and solar panels.
"As a pioneer in sustainable chemistry in Michigan, Resinate Materials Group is committed to ensuring a sustainable future by developing innovative solutions to address climate change as well as the growing problem of plastic," said Rick Tabor, Chief Technology Officer of Resinate. "We encourage and support Senator Stabenow as she works with her colleagues to enact legislation that addresses climate change in our state and for our planet. We hope that Congress will include provisions to encourage recycling, which is a powerful method to reduce greenhouse gas emissions."
"We thank Senator Stabenow for leading on this discussion and recognizing the importance of supporting innovation that will drive cleaner, smarter, better solutions for mobility and energy," said Jim Saber, President & CEO of NextEnergy. "Through continued investment and strong public/private partnerships we believe Michigan can become a national leader in developing and demonstrating the technologies that will create a more livable world for all citizens."
"Sustainable, efficient energy is a key solution to addressing climate change," said Carla Walker-Miller, CEO of Walker-Miller Energy Services. "Walker-Miller Energy Services is proud to help lead this effort in Michigan and to stand with Senator Stabenow on this important issue."


The Blue Oval Brand is working on the brand-new Ford Escape and the model should hit the roads as the 2020 version. The current generation Escape has been around since 2013 and the all-new model will bring modern upgrades to keep model competitive in the fastest-growing, compact crossover SUV segment.
The new 2020 Ford Escape will come on the new platform and with the new Focus-inspired styling. The fourth-generation Escape should return the hybrid powertrain but this time the plug-in hybrid version while will offer turbocharged engines in the conventionally powered variants. The model will also get more modern interior and the production should continue in Louisville, Kentucky.
The prototype version of the new generation 2020 Ford Escape was seen while testing and it seems that the new compact crossover SUV hides significant styling changes under the camo.
As the latest reports suggest and judging by the spy photos, the newest Escape should apply the similar styling language as the recent Focus which isn't available in the US. The upcoming Escape seems to have a more pronounced nose with the new grille and headlights. The grille uses the mesh pattern instead of the current crossbar style and the headlights appear also to have sharper shape. The model has also the new vertically oriented driving lights.
The overall shape of the Escape looks familiar but with smoother body lines. The camouflage can't also hide the beltline which seems rising faster toward the C pillar.
The rear should also borrow styling cues from the new Focus. The new taillights and sculpted tailgate will be in the combination with the new rear bumper.
On the top of that, Ford will use the new platform for the 2020 Escape. The model will be based on the small car architecture which underpins the latest Fiesta. The new Escape seems also to have a slightly larger body.
No details or spy photos of model's interior yet. The larger body will provide an increase in the passenger and cargo space but we shouldn't expect plenty of new room. Ford will offer the revised materials and trims combined with the latest infotainment system and advanced safety gear.
With the new platform and styling, the 2020 Ford Escape will also introduce the upgraded powertrains but most details are still unknown.
As the latest reports suggest, the new Escape will come with the 1.5-liter turbocharged engines as standard. This displacement used in the new Focus comes in either 140 and 180 hp configurations. The high-performance version will use a turbocharged 2.0-liter unit.
Ford will mix the engines with the 8-speed automatic transmission. Both front- and all-wheel drive will be available.
The new Escape should also appear with the plug-in hybrid powertrain sometime in the life cycle. Ford promised 24 hybrid and plug-in hybrid models in next few years.
The 2020 Ford Escape will likely debut in the first half of the year and go on sale later in the year. Closer to the market launch we will also know the price of the redesigned model.


To have one consistent lab | What features would you like to see?
It would be wonderful to have one lab assigned to a user throughout the course, so that the user can build on his own set of configurations done on previous topics. For ex : Build your ec2 instances connected to your own VPC that was built in the earlier lessons. This way, at the end of the course, you would have your own AWS services stack built based upon the lessons.
Unfortunately due to costs of this it is not possible to offer this type of lab environment. This would end up costing more than the monthly membership itself.

Q: What is "Switching Bandwidth"? I am trying to decipher exactly what is meant by switching bandwidth on tech specs for various switches. I think I understand, but I'm not so sure.
I know that a port on a 10/100/1000 switch can operate at 1Gbps in each direction at the same time in full duplex mode. So that means that each port can have a theoretical bandwidth of 2Gbps. If a 24 port switch has an advertised "switching bandwidth" of 48Gbps (such as this Netgear), is that just normal? Because Cisco seems to be making things confusing with their marketing, eg here.
Does switching bandwidth scale linearly with the number of ports available? I've seen some models with 4-8 ports with much lower figures for switching bandwidth.

A: In short, I would assume it describes at what speed the switch itself can route data between the ports.
If you have a 24 port switch with 48Gbps switching bandwidth, great! Every port can operate at full capacity at all times.
If you have a 24 port switch with 24Gbps switching bandwidth, not as great. Only half of the ports can operate at full capacity or all of them at half capacity (or something in between).
I would assume the second group is the cheaper group ;)

It was October, 1777, and the Continental Army had a problem. Although they had just won a resounding victory at Saratoga, they were just as soundly defeated further south at Forts Montgomery and Clinton, key strategic outposts on the Hudson River. With the victory at Fort Montgomery the British quickly set about tearing down the lanky chain the Colonists had stretched across the river to impede the British Navy. Now the Hudson River, and important cities like Poughkeepsie (Continental ship-building hub), Kingston (the state capital), and Albany (the second largest settlement in the state after New York City) lay wide open to attack.
It seems like there's been a surge recently in the discovery of lost tombs. Richard III was found under a parking lot. Miguel de Cervantes was found in the convent in Madrid where he was known to have been buried (that may sound a bit backwards, but trust me, it makes sense. The convent was rebuilt in the 17th century and they lost track of where they put Cervantes*). All of these fantastic discoveries set me thinking about an interesting "Is he really there?" story from the American Revolution: the final resting place of British Col. Walter Butler.

Stansted 15 avoid jail
Fifteen protesters – known as the Stansted 15 – who chained themselves to a plane to stop it deporting people to Africa, have avoided immediate jail sentences.
The group broke through a fence at the airport, intercepting planes heading for Nigeria, Ghana and Sierra Leone. They were found guilty of endangering the safety of an aerodrome.
Three were given suspended jail terms and 12 received community orders at Chelmsford Crown Court. Stephen Knight represented Ruth Potts, a member of the group, who received a community order with 100 hours unpaid work.
The charges were based on an international terrorist convention, and have been widely condemned as disproportionate and politically motivated.
The group has said they will appeal against their convictions, which they believe have serious implications for the freedom to protest.

UAE Approves Strategy to Double Contribution of Digital Economy to GDP Within 10 Years
"Business"
https://english.aawsat.com/home/article/3587436/uae-approves-strategy-double-contribution-digital-economy-gdp-within-10-years
Tuesday, 12 April, 2022 - 10:30
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid chairing a cabinet session on Monday, April 11, 2022. (WAM)
The UAE cabinet on Monday approved a digital economy strategy to double the contribution of the digital economy to the GDP from 9.7% to 19.4% within the next 10 years. It also aims to transfer the UAE into a hub for digital economy regionally and globally.
The strategy includes more than 30 initiatives and programs targeting six sectors and five new areas of growth.
It will define the digital economy in the country, with a unified mechanism for measuring its growth while measuring its indicators periodically.
The strategy will define the priorities of digital economy in the country, ensuring the contribution of all other economic sectors to promote and support the digital economy.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, said: "Our goal is to increase the contribution of the digital economy sector to the non-oil GDP by 20 percent over the next 10 years."
"We formed a Council for Digital Economy chaired by Omar bin Sultan al-Olama, the UAE Minister of State for Artificial Intelligence, Digital Economy, and Teleworking Applications," he added.
The cabinet also approved a federal law about the public finance. It compels federal authorities to coordinate with the Ministry of Finance to achieve the financial strategy's objectives.
It approved executive regulation of the federal decree-law on private education aimed at regulating the work of private schools in the country, in accordance with the objectives of the private education law, the provisions of which apply to all private schools in the UAE.
The executive regulation aims to enhance a high-level educational system that regulates the licensing mechanism for private schools, to ensure the quality of education and to place students among the best in the world in knowledge assessment tests.
The cabinet further adopted a unified framework to coordinate and organize the humanitarian and development work of the charitable institutions.
It includes a guide that organizes the seasonal work of all UAE donors concerned with foreign aids, in accordance with international standards, and in line with the UAE foreign aid policy and strategy.
This framework includes the establishment of coordinating offices in the country's missions abroad for foreign aid.
It will contribute to regulating financial transfers to donors, and the UAE charitable institutions in the beneficiary countries.
In addition to reviewing and discussing several reports, the cabinet approved an agreement to linking payment systems among GCC countries, an agreement with Brazil, two agreements with Denmark and an agreement with the United States.

Opinion: Is King Felipe VI of Spain ready to go into exile thanks to Communists?
Liudvikas Jakavičius-Grimalauskas
Liudvikas Jakavičius-Grimalauskas, head of media relations for H.S.H. Prince Inigo von Urach & expert in political sciences, shares his views about the climbing of a communist party in Spain.
King Felipe VI of Spain
© AFP/Scanpix
Today, Spain´s bipartisanship parties, the "People´s Party" (Conservatives) and the "Spanish Socialist Worker´s Party" (Social-Democrats) are scrambling to find an answer to the speedy and unexpected rise of "Podemos" – in English "We Can" – a communist party founded less than 10 months ago.
On Sunday, the prestigious Spanish newspaper "El País" published a new poll by "Metroscopia" that presents "We Can" as the strongest political force in Spain. This poll shows that in just 10 months this group of communists passed from 0.2% of electoral support to 28%, overcoming all Spanish political parties. According to the survey, the "People´s Party" (ruling party) received 20% of support, while the "Spanish Socialist Worker´s Party" (opposition) received 25% of support.
"We Can" was founded this January by Pablo Iglesias Turrión, an inexperienced and populist 36-year-old lecturer of Political Science & TV host, with very good verbal skills. Members of "We Can" come from the dark world of dangerous Spanish radical left (communists & anarchists). "We Can" participated in the 2014 European Parliament elections and received about 8% of the vote, even though it was merely four months old at the time. Now "We Can" is the second Spanish party by amount of members with more than 200,000 affiliates, and is the most supported party in Spain according to all statistics. This include the barometer published by the CIS (Centro de Investigaciones Sociológicas - Centre for Sociological Research) on November 5, 2014, an independent entity assigned to the Ministry of Presidency.
Its leader, Pablo Iglesias, is currently a member of the European Parliament, although he is Eurosceptic and has publicly stated that he is there to defend the interests of southern Europeans, i.e., not of all Europeans that are paying his salary and duties as MEP. Are these the initial steps of Spain to become the first communist country in the European Union?
The intent
As every Communist party, "We Can" wants to break the rules of democracy. They are calling for a complete reform of the political system in Spain that includes the government control over "strategic" sectors of the economy, ergo, public control over banks, energy companies and mass media, among others. The "We Can" programme also includes a proposal to ban profitable companies from firing workers, limit private ownership, give parliaments control over the policies of the European Central Bank, and of course, hold an illegal "referendum" to abolish monarchy.
So we can say that Pablo Iglesias wishes to make of Spain a new Venezuela or Cuba, and if "We Can" wins the next elections, that is the most possible scenario; Spanish people must be prepared to the imminent bankruptcy of the country. Another one of his "great" ideas to get votes is the introduction of state-funded basic minimum income of 650 EUR for all citizens. But, that basic income for all citizens would represent the 25% of Spanish GDP; therefore, this man is using demagogy and promising things he will not be able to deliver.
In fact, "We Can" has its origins on different anarchist and communist movements and "indirectly" has been financed by Hugo Chávez, the late President of Venezuela. The "donations" that the CEPS (organization close to "We Can"), and subsequently the party, received from Venezuela's Chavismo date back to 2002. A very extensive report released by "El País" a few months ago reveals close ties between the CEPS and "We Can".
In just 5 months of its existence, it has become Spain's fourth most popular party in the European Parliament, and in 10 months of its existence, it transformed into a favorite party for the next general presidency election. Iglesias has branded himself as the new solution to the Spanish economic crisis, promising to keep the welfare state, but the reality couldn't be farther from truth.
As the "Robbin Hood" of South Europeans, he is very critical of Germany and with Angela Merkel, in particular. The reality though is that Spain is overcoming its economic crisis thanks to Germany and EU; IMF, in turn, has the right to put preconditions (cuts) to rescue a country.
The core of the problem
For six years since the beginning of the world economic crisis, Spanish workers have been subject to a social counterrevolution. Drawn up by both the "People´s Party" and the "Spanish Socialist Worker´s Party", this has led to widespread poverty and mass unemployment hitting 26 percent of the labour force, with 56 percent of them being youth. There are 686,600 households in which none of their members have an income of any kind.d people are tired of corruption. Although corruption is rampant, there is no popular reaction to the problem.
There are more than 500 politicians of all ideological backgrounds formally indicted for corruption in a court of law, including people from the extreme left. During the last 10-20 years Spain was dotted by a cloud of corruption that finally merged in the current economic crisis. The economic crisis sent many Spanish citizens below the poverty line as if Spain was a third world country. The success or failure of a country is the result of the work of all its citizens, from the humblest worker to the highest skilled CEO's. Emergence of corruption is the fault of the entire society due to lack of resistance and the fact that people on all tiers of society endorse it to solve their problems.
"We Can" is taking advantage of the current social, political and economic crisis to come to power and establish a Communist regime. The history shows that many dictators came to power in the midst of political, social or economic crisis, by first being democratically elected and reinforcing a dictatorial rule when the grip of their power over the establishment is secured.
If "We Can" wins the next elections, Spain will become the first Communist country in the European Union, transforming the relationships within the European Union, the NATO and many international organizations Spain is a part of.
As far as the King himself is concerned, with Pablo Iglesias or "We Can" in power, he will likely go into exile with the entire royal family, a move he must already be contemplating. Pablo Iglesias and "We Can" want to hold a referendum to abolish the monarchy in Spain and change the political system despite the fact that it would be illegal, according to Spanish laws. Spain is a constitutional monarchy established democratically by the Spanish constitutional referendum of 1978, where 88.54 % of voters approved the restoration of monarchy. It is noteworthy, that the referendum had a turnover of the 67.11% of the electorate. So we can ensure that monarchy in Spain is fully democratic. If "We Can" wants to hold a referendum, it must amend the constitution first, and only then, hold a referendum.
Unfortunately, the majority of Spanish people are politically immature and often change their political allegiances. Ergo, today they don't want a King yet may want him back in the following years. I would argue that the monarchy in Spain will end in no more than five years, and we will see the Third Spanish Republic in a few years.
In conclusion, it is important to note that Spain is not suffering from economic crisis per se, but from from a social and political crisis, and Spanish people must fix their social and political issues first to be able to overcome the economic hardships.

Up close, from every single angle, the Kahn Ferrari 458 Spider's couture is, to put it rather simply: mouth-watering.
Here we are test-driving one of the world's most desirable cars. Shrouded in voluptuous Grigio Alloy couture – this vehicle may have been manufactured in Italy – but the unyielding British blueprint is extraordinary.
Surprisingly, the real reason why the Kahn Ferrari 458 Spider is so good is because of its simplicity. I know, odd thing to say about a car with such a radical set of wheels and special detailing, but we stand by it.
The start button, lights and wipers, suspension selector etc, are all actually on the steering wheel, which sounds like a no-brainer – but you get used to it within a day.
And that goes for the car as a whole. Yes, of course this Ferrari is quick, and when we mean quick, it is a machine that will outpace any other vehicle out there – but on a drive to the supermarket, complete with state of the art Monza wheels and the inspiring 1 80 number plate, you can be assured of a nonchalant drive, even though, for the record, we can't promise the lack of an adoring, even an envious look.
Some would say the 458 has gone soft, yet the fact of the matter is that this is the car to be seen and heard in.
Domesticated enough to sit serenely in your garage, or unleashed in the city, the Kahn Ferrari 458 Spider boasts a styling package complete with a lowered suspension, front sections, matt rear styling detail, black painted calipers and Kahn Monza wheels - ensuring a mighty presence on the road.
When it comes to practicality, again, we're pleasantly surprised. Even the most obtuse of individuals will see eye to eye with this vehicle because unlike other Ferraris, the pedals here are not as sensitive, so you won't stall a hundred times.
Although having the roof down is magnificent, it was only for the sound of the engine in the open air. The roof folds in 14 seconds, and is 25kg lighter than the equivalent and there is also a big chance you will end up falling deeply in love with the 458's luxurious Nero interior.
Marking an evolution as opposed to a revolution - welcome, to the new world of the Ferrari 458 Spider; rather chameleon-esque in nature, granted, but not in the same mould as your (lovely) mother in law!
One minute it's a ferocious machine, next minute: whoosh and it's nice as pie, escorting you on a visit to the shopping centre or a meeting - whilst still retaining its boyish enthusiasm and good looks.
And even though no one saw us in it bar a few horses – and that's the way I like it. At the end of the day, the only thing I didn't like about the 458 Spider… was me.

Decentralized Finance Explained
Imagine a world in which you never had to worry about your money. You could just deposit it into a bank, earn a decent yield, and it would be safe and sound, available whenever you needed it. Unfortunately, this is not the world we live in. Bank crashes, frozen accounts, runaway inflation, and other financial disasters are all too common. However, there is hope! Thanks to new technologies like decentralized finance (DeFi), we may be entering a new era of financial security.
In this post, we'll explore what DeFi is, its advantages and disadvantages, and the different types of DeFi products. We'll also take a look at some of the successful DeFi projects out there.
Let's dive in, shall we?
What is DeFi?
If you're new to the world of cryptocurrency, you may have heard the term "DeFi" but not know what it means. Defi is short for decentralized finance and refers to a range of financial applications that operate on the blockchain.
DeFi services include decentralized exchanges, lending platforms, and stablecoins. While DeFi is still in its early days, it has the potential to revolutionize how we use money.
DeFi promotes decentralized networks to transform legacy centralized financial products into fully decentralized and transparent protocols which allow buyers and sellers (borrowers and lenders) to deal directly with each other without intermediaries.
Advantages of DeFi
In finance, people often overlook the concept of autonomy as a key component.
For the past 100 years, there hasn't been much innovation in the way we use money. Issuing authorities centralized everything: cash was cash and credit cards were credit cards.
In most ecosystems, including centralized institutions like banks, a central authority makes and passed down actions hierarchically, often. This central authority can put a hold on your account, confiscate your assets, and block your transactions. In the case of DeFi, a smart contract can do the same, except for the fact that you get transparency so you can decide whether or not you can place your trust in a protocol.
Today, there is a shift. We have digital assets, and we have DeFi. With DeFi, you have the power to own your own money and assets.
In the legacy financial system, banks tend to keep only enough cash in the vault to meet their anticipated transaction needs in order to lend or not based on the whims of the bank. In the DeFi system, we have crypto-backed lending and decentralized exchanges that enable us to borrow, lend, invest, and trade in our financial interests.
Decentralized Financial Applications (DApps) interact with a decentralized finance protocol. These protocols allow you to take control of your money by sending and receiving payments anywhere in the world, for free.
These applications are built on open protocols that are publicly accessible. This means that your data is available to the service providers and the general public. Some of the best DeFi applications already use their public data to help keep everything fair and honest.
Disadvantages of DeFi
A DeFi project can become unstable if the blockchain that hosts it isn't stable. This instability comes from the host blockchain.
For instance, In February 2020, a vulnerability in a smart contract caused the temporary suspension of KyberNetwork's DEX. This vulnerability allowed anyone to withdraw the funds of a contract without fulfilling the condition of the contract. This is the first example of a blockchain technology error in a widely used blockchain system and shows that using DeFi projects can be risky.
The decentralized Finance (DeFi) projects have been touted as the next big thing, but the truth is that these projects have a significant scalability issue. The fact is that the host blockchain is not designed to handle the load that DAppsput on them. This means that if a host blockchain is chosen, the tweaks will have to be made to ensure no scalability bottleneck.
For example, Ethereum currently is suffering from massively overpriced transaction fees. It's quite impossible to use the network. However, the new Ethereum upgrade (Ethereum 2.0) has been a gamechanger.
Different types of Decentralized Finance products available:
A person may get a loan by pledging anything of value as collateral. In many cases, the collateral is ETH, and the token you get back is determined by the firm you are dealing with. People who have debt must pay off the accruing interest and the principal; at the same time, they pay off debt.
For example, Maker, a loan lending product, offers its DAI stable coin as a loan when ETH is used as collateral. This is because DAI is backed by the USD and has a stable value.
Derivatives are аnоther type of product made with DeFi. They саn inсlude deсentrаlised оrасles аnd рeer-tо-рeer рrоtосоls fоr рrediсtiоn mаrkets, аs well аs аsset-bасked tokens and alternative insurance.
The decentralized blockchain-based рlаtfоrm Synthetix, fоr exаmрle, enables users to create Synths-аssets bаsed оn fiаt mоney, соmmоdities, аnd crypto-assets.
Successful Decentralized Finance products
Airswap
Airswap is a decentralized solution for peer-to-peer trading in blockchain-based ERC-20 tokens without a centralized exchange. Rather than using a broker, Airswap uses a decentralized search and matching engine for counterparties to trade directly with one another on a blockchain.
Соmроund is a self-contained system thаt enаbles users to earn interest оn their сryрtосurrenсy hоldings. It is an open-source рrоjeсt with tens of thousands of users and integrаtiоns with dozens of оther аррs.
Kyber
Kyber is a decentralized liquidity network where any token can be exchanged for another. Kyber protocol is trustless, highly liquid, and supports instant trading. KyberNetwork is the first project built on the Ethereum blockchain that allows instantaneous inter-token transactions through a simple API, eliminating the need for multiple contracts and third-party intermediaries and enabling existing wallets to support all tokens on the network easily.
Decentralized Finance vs. Traditional Banking
DeFi is a new space that is quite different from traditional banking. The rise of decentralized Finance (DeFi) has finally given the world an alternative to conventional banking.
Traditional banking is a centralized and centralized system and is more like a company with a branch and staff. DeFi is a decentralized and open-source system and is more like a platform with a developer and community.
As decentralized finance grows and becomes more popular, traditional banking will continue to decline. More and more people are opting for cryptocurrencies, digital assets, and blockchain-based finance rather than conventional banking. The best part of this decentralized finance revolution is that people have better control over their money – more flexibility, options, and protection from fiat inflation. They don't have to worry about their bank not letting them withdraw their money or having to wait days or even weeks for a wire transfer to go through.
The Future of Defi
Traditional banking has been an institution that has been around for hundreds of years and has been the only way for people to store and transfer their money. With so many innovations and technological changes, it's no surprise that people are increasingly turning to DeFi as a way to store and transfer their money.
The future of DeFi looks bright for sure. Many innovations can be done based on DeFi- and a lot is happening right now in this domain. Many exciting projects are being added to the ecosystem.
ShapeShift has recently taken the first step in this direction and released a decentralized exchange called Prism. It has some exciting features that make it different and better from other decentralized exchanges already out there.
In this rapidly changing technology era, one might not be sure of what the future would hold. It may seem to be a complex task, but once you look into the DeFi space, you will realize that it is pretty clear what the future might be for this specific domain.

I've been a little quiet, due to some lovely visits of my family, but that doesn't mean i didn't crochet in the spare moments:) Here are some more Duplet motifs.
This is a motif from Duplet 99, to me it resembles a locket.
The finished locket motif, relatively easy, the only thing i changed is the direction of the rounds, to get a more structured look, i crocheted alternating from front to back, using the backloops.
From Duplet Especial the circle motifs, color variations.
DplsSal 5 star motif, color variations.
In Duplet 64 i found this lovely motif.
And finished it looks like this.
I think i'm almost at the end of the Russian trip, but now i can devote my attention to the color variations for the project.


Heck yeah, you are! Let's dig in.
Ready to start using your website to attract the right people, increase your income, and stand out online?
Time and again, I see talented entrepreneurs hustling round-the-clock to build a creative business and life on their own terms.
But no amount of hustle will get you to your goals if your ideal clients can't find you.
To survive and thrive as a creative entrepreneur, you must use the RIGHT words to communicate your message with clarity and confidence to the RIGHT people.
Words with the power to establish trust, increase clicks, and inspire sales.
I know, I know. Selling can feel icky—especially for creatives who just wanna create. But someone's gotta do it in order for your business to succeed.
And that, my friend, is where your website copywriting come in.
A 4-week, 1-on-1 copywriting service designed to bring you more clients, income, and freedom on auto-pilot. So you can get back to doing what you love most while your website copy does the selling.
Everything you need to bring your brand story to life and boost conversions through your website.
So who's the copywriter behind the website?
I'm Erika, a website copywriter and brand storyteller for personal brands.
When I'm not nerding out on website copywriting and conversion rates, I'm most likely in close proximity to a yoga studio—almond milk matcha latte in one hand, passport in the other.
Still not sure if you need a website copywriter in your corner?
Imagine if you could spend more time working ON your business and less time working IN it. Would you find more fulfillment and joy in your work? Would you reach your biggest goals faster?
By outsourcing your website copywriting, you can stay focused on what matters most: building your business and taking care of your clients.
Now, I'll be honest. I'm not a marketing guru or magician. I can't help you sell something your audience doesn't need or want. But if you've done your homework and you know your market can truly benefit from what you have to offer, copywriting has the power to unlock your greatest potential.
I'll channel your voice to connect with your target audience and influence them to click/subscribe/book/buy in a way that's sincere, transparent, and ethical. No sleazy used car salesmen here.
With strategic website copy, you can enhance your customer experience and drive up your numbers—instantly and forever. How much is that worth to you?

I received an email recently from a dear friend wondering, 'How will I know when I'm happy'? Not what is happiness, or what isn't. What a poignant question. Isn't this question at the root of not only our deepest, most heart-felt desires, but also our most profound disappointments?
We're inundated with books, movies, research projects and blog posts offering us someone else's answers to this question. I'm astonished by the immediate access I have to others' thoughts on just about any topic I can imagine. In thinking about my own happiness, the downside to immediate access to others' ideas is that I can get confused. I can begin to lose myself in ways that are so subtle I hardly notice.
Have you ever woken up and realized you've bought into something, or are moving in a direction, that doesn't quite fit you? Having an answer to this question may help to get you back on your own path.
I hope you'll consider staying with the question, 'How will I know when I'm happy'? Try not to rush to 'the' answer. If you find an answer that resonates, keep asking. There may be more answers, or an expansion of an answer you already have. This question gives us an opportunity to make sure our ladder is on the right wall.
I absolutely abhor the idea that 'you made your bed, so lie in it'. My twist on that theme is 'you made your bed, and if you don't like, make it over'..
I invite you to comment with your own thoughts about how you know when you're happy, recognizing that there are absolutely zero rights or wrongs with this one.
I am using this question as my "Morning Meditation," and thinking it through. I'll let you know. I do know this…an answer did not just immediately come to mind.
Very intriguing post. I think when you have found something worthwhile and important to you. If you don't really care about money or material items, winning the lottery will not make you happy. If you are someone who has a big loving family, but you only got married and had kids because that is what you are supposed to do as an adult after college, your loving family will not fulfill you with happiness. If you took the higher paying more prestigious job over the one you would have loved, you probably will not be happy. This can go on and on. I think you are right that you have to listen to yourself. It is difficult to ignore the social norms and find out what is important I you. Once you know that, start making decisions that reflect those values and you will probably find happiness.
What a difficult answer to put into words. Is there really any appropriate way to answer it? I know for me, it's about the MOMENTS I'm happy. When I am acting in a way that is consistent with my own personal values, and not fighting against myself or my thoughts, I feel "happy" in that moment. Or at least I feel much better than when I don't (and certainly my days are sprinkled with moments when I don't). I suppose my own personal goal, when it comes to "being happy," is to string together many of these moments in a day…and indeed many of these days in a week.
I know I'm happy when I'm moving freely in my life. I am happy to be free of the chains of fear, and dependency. I like me, and accept each moment as an opportunity to live freely.
For me its a moment when I feel around my heart that it is nothing more then me and infinity. I AM HAPPY WHEN I AM.
'How will I know when I'm happy'?
I need to really think about that one. I think it starts with not looking outside for "society" to define happiness and not looking at happiness as a destination (e.g. when I win the $400 million dollar lottery). Also, perhaps happiness is not an individual phenomenom, but more of a collective sense.
I am happy you asked this question!
I often find happiness when I'm completely in the moment … not worrying about what tomorrow might hold, regretting what happened yesterday, or reliving some unpleasant memory. It's being thankful for being here and now. For me, if I let the rush of life get a hold of me I seem to miss the little things that make me most happy … the stolen moment with my husband, the sweetness of my children when they wake up in the morning, the shared conversation with a dear friend or family member in the middle of a hectic day … sometimes happiness is already there if you slow down enough to notice it!
