Jeffrey Epstein's Death: Dubious Suicide Claim
Rep. Rashida Tlaib Slams Ziofascist Apartheid Israel
US Rubber-Stamp Court OKs Repeat Act of Maritime Piracy Against Iran
by Stephen Lendman (stephenlendman.org – Home – Stephen Lendman)
Mystery surrounds his death. Why would a wealthy influential figure, able to afford a highly skilled legal team, experienced in cutting deals favorable to clients, take his own life?
Figures like Epstein are rarely held accountable like ordinary people are treated.
In 2008, he pleaded guilty in Florida to "soliciting and procuring" an underage girl for "prostitution." Slap-on-the-wrist punishment followed.
True enough, he reportedly had lots of information about notable figures he arranged sex for with underage girls, leaving them vulnerable to potential statutory rape, prostitution, and sex trafficking charges, at minimum having their reputations greatly damaged.
On July 6, Epstein was arrested on federal "charges of sex trafficking of minors and conspiring to commit sex trafficking of minors."
"EPSTEIN is accused of committing these crimes in locations including, but not limited to, New York, New York, and Palm Beach, Florida," adding:
"(I)n order to maintain and increase his supply of victims, EPSTEIN also paid certain of his victims to recruit additional girls to be similarly abused by" him.
He "created a vast network of underage victims for him to sexually exploit in locations including New York and Palm Beach."
The Justice Department requested victims of his sexual abuse to come forward. Many rape victims are reluctant to talk about these disturbing episodes publicly.
Reportedly, dozens or women said Epstein sexually abused them when under the age of consent (usually 18), and got them to recruit other young girls for similar abuse.
Notably figures he procured sex for with minors clearly wanted nothing about it revealed at trial or otherwise.
His death means no trial of the century and likely no more public revelations than already touching notable figures — business, political, and other associates of Epstein exhaling because dead men tell no tales.
"(A)fter careful review of all investigative information, including complete autopsy findings," the office of New York City's chief medical examiner (Barbara Sampson) called Epstein's death suicide by hanging.
A statement by attorneys Martin G. Weinberg, Reid Weingarten and Michael Miller representing him said: "We are not satisfied with the conclusions."
They intend to conduct their own investigation of his death — most likely murder to silence him, not suicide.
Epstein was involved with his legal team in preparing his defense. He showed no suicidal tendencies, his lawyers explained.
Autopsy photos showed marks on his neck looked like they were made from strangulation, not a rope he had no access to.
According to forensic pathologist Cyril Wecht, fracture of his hyoid bone "almost always (is) associated with strangulation," adding:
"(M)ultiple breaks and fractures (found in Epstein's neck) are rare to find in suicidal hangings."
Nothing in his cell enabled suicide, including paper-thin sheets unable to support his weight, no bars, nothing on a high ceiling to attach something to.
Yet after left unmonitored overnight for hours, he was found with a bedsheet (unable to support his weight) around his neck around 6:30 AM August 10.
What's known about his death suggests strangulation, not suicide by hanging as officially reported six days after his death, raising suspicions about why the autopsy results were delayed.
Because he was found semi-conscious in his New York Metropolitan Correctional Center (MCC) cell last month, he was placed on suicide watch — meaning close scrutiny round-the-clock monitoring, including by video camera(s) and regular guard inspections.
In late July, he was taken off suicide watch, placed in a special housing unit with no cellmate and under-monitored, proper procedures not followed.
His death has coverup all over it, major media likely involved, including the NYT, its latest edition headlining:
"Jeffrey Epstein Autopsy Results Show He Hanged Himself in Suicide," adding:
"The New York City chief medical examiner's determination refutes conspiracy theories that he may have been murdered."
The neocon/CIA house organ Washington Post headlined "Jeffrey Epstein's autopsy concludes his death was a suicide by hanging."
The Wall Street Journal headlined: "Jeffrey Epstein Died by Suicide, Medical Examiner Finds," adding:
"Jeffrey Epstein died by hanging himself, according to an autopsy released Friday, capping days of speculation about how the disgraced financier died in his jail cell."
Other establishment media reports were similar. Influential figures connected to Epstein want their relationships kept out of the public record, including flights on his "Lolita Express" Boeing 727 for likely sexual escapades suppressed.
Major media reports aim to prevent the scandal from exposing more than already revealed by naming names and sexual abuses committed.
High-profile figures are rarely ever held accountable for wrongdoing. Rare exceptions prove the rule.

ETHICS STATEMENT: Zacuto have been my friends for many years and are of course one of my site sponsors. They are more than friends, they are my family. Although this does not stop me checking out gear that competitors make. Competition makes you better! You can read more about this on my ethics statement here.
Shootouts eh? What is the point? Well we love them don't we? I myself have done 3 or 4 half arsed fun ones where I pit similar cameras against each other. Why? Well for some it's like sport…for camera geeks! Wanna see your favourite camera (team) thrash the opposition? Of course you do OR perhaps they are far more useful for you in deciding which camera to get. Well that's where things get tricky. Looking at images and comparing them is only a fraction of what is important. A part of it, but far from all of it.
I have been involved directly in the two previous Zacuto shootouts but had to bow out of this one. Steve Weiss begged me. He sent me flowers, cars, women…anything he could, to convince me to do it. Unfortunately it was not about convincing, it was about conflicting schedules. I had a movie to shoot at exactly the same time, so with reluctance I had to sit this one out.
The problem with a shootout on the level that Zacuto does them is that the amount of work that goes into each one is enormous, and with the constantly changing landscape of cameras, they become out of date quickly. For example, last year the FS100 came out just after their SCCE test. A real shame.
How do you get past that? Easy, make the shootout not a shootout but something really valuable and educational, showing you can achieve with most of the cameras.
So a huge number of cameras. But not all the cameras out there. No AF100, no 5D, no Nikon D800. Why? It's not a comparison shootout in the traditional sense. It's a selection of varied cameras to represent each field. Yes there are no small sensor cameras apart from the iPhone. I would love to have seen the good old EX1 in there!
What Steve and Jens have made is a documentary of 90 minutes broken into 3 parts. The first of which is now live. Unfortunately for some, I am in it. Although I was not able to participate in the testing part, I was interviewed for the doc in Chicago last week and took the opportunity to get Steve and Jens to explain on-camera exactly what this "Shootout" was about. You can view the video exclusively below.
When I watched the screening of all the cameras, like everyone else I had to pick my favourite 3 images without knowing which was which. It's incredibly hard to do and utterly subjective. Much of it is down to the skills of the DPs in lighting the scene and the colourist (who did all the cameras apart from the F65).
There was a lot of kerfuffle from a certain colourful CEO of a certain camera manufacturer about how this shootout was done, which Steve dealt with very politely, honestly and succinctly. I bloody love that camera and utterly respect the man. I miss my Epic like something you won't believe. The irony is that what was complained about was of utter irrelevance in this test due to it not really being a "shootout," and I actually chose the Epic as my favourite in the blind test. Why? As I said, I simply love that image and I can see it a mile off. BUT in this test you get to see how, with skill, a good DP can make a dirt cheap hacked GH2 look damn similar. As good? Of course not! I don't recommend that Ridley Scott switches to the hacked GH2 for his Blade Runner sequel, after using the Epic for his spectacular and beautiful Prometheus, just because Dariusz Wolski is bloody brilliant. You would be tying a hand behind his back. What's the point? A lot of it is down to the right tool for the right job. But great, if all you can afford IS the GH2 you know that with skill you can do amazing stuff with it.
Even though you can make a lower-end camera perform really well with skill, if you have access to a better camera, why handicap yourself? If you can afford an Epic in your budget and you have a crew who can light for it, then you would be dumb as hell to not use it! Likewise if you use the Alexa. Just look at how stunning Games of Thrones is and Drive was. The new bond film is being shot by the great Roger Deakins on the Alexa raw. Could he do a damn fine job shooting that movie with an FS100? Of course he could, but why would he? He famously said, when asked why he had never shot digital, that he didn't want to use an inferior tool as he didn't have to. Now with cameras like the Alexa giving him what film gave him and more, he is finally a digital convert.
I was recently asked on twitter: would I shoot a movie on the iphone 4? I asked why. The response was: to see what I could do with it. My reply was that if I had to I would, but it would be damn silly when I have a Sony F3 with S-Log and Canon C300 sitting in my gear locker. But it depends on the job!
The documentary Steve had made (which is incredible, but don't tell him that otherwise his unusually large head will swell even more!) will educate you. The people they have interviewed in it are some of the best cinematographers in the world, and then there is me 🙂 I clearly don't deserve to be alongside these great names, and if I have a sound bite next to Janusz Kaminski then I can die today a happy man! I am not and never will be in their league. These are my idols. All I can do is try my best at what I do and strive to do better with each job. Like all of us in every aspect of our lives. Be it cameras or cooking!
If you asked me "Philip, happy birthday… you can have any camera you want on me. Which one will you have?". My answer would be "Can I sell it or do I have to use it?" as if it's the former then I'd pick the Phantom Flex as it's very expensive – I would sell it to buy lots of other cameras. And if it's the latter then probably an Epic, as I love the image and size of it and I already own a C300 which is my number one documentary camera. But hey, I have my Canon XA10 with me right now…why? It makes my life damn easy for what I am going to film here in Korea.
So really what I hope that you will get from the final documentary is that the camera is important naturally. But it's what you do with the camera. Yes a better camera will make your life easier but as we always say, the important thing is YOU!
Really Zacuto should not have called this a shootout at all. I know people like the name but it really isn't a shootout. It shouldn't have been called "Revenge of the great camera shootout 2012" at all , it should be called something like "Sod the camera, learn to light you bastards and film something that captivates me !"…not as catchy is it?
Watch the camera shootout now by click here!
Really looking forward to this "Shootout," I think what Zacuto is doing is absolutely amazing. I have to say though not a big fan of the music behind Steve and Jens in this promo, feels like a eulogy to the previous Shootouts. Thanks for your work guys!
agreed. the editor has come from movie of the week so a hard habit to kick!
In a way, this trailer is mind blowing because it undermines exactly what the original shoot-out was all about (pixel peeping and noise staring).
My trusty 550D/T2i is now officially the "most-ignored-but-very-capable-camera-in-the-world". I have been using it for over two years now, mostly for 'run-and-gun' interview work and some 'beauty video', and of course, home movies. I bought it when it came out and when you, Philip, recommended it. I have never regretted it! With the Magic Lantern hack, it has focus peaking and audio monitoring (with auto gain off!) and makes a very complete camera. When it comes to image quality, it is a very good performer – best bang for the buck. Yet, compared to the GH2, its reputation is grey and boring, and it has been replaced by the 600D and the 650D already, but that doesn't make the 550D bad, does it?
Anyhow, I know the 550D has basically the same video as the 'legendary' 7D, so in way, it is in this shoot-out after all. But why put up a 'hacked' GH2 against a factory set 7D? Isn't that a bit unfair?
The reason they needed to hack the GH2 for the test is to bring the mpbs the bitrate up higher. The bitrate on the GH2 is 22mpbs. The bitrate on the Canons are all 42mpbs I think or 43 can not remember. Only the Canon 5D Mark 3 has a much higher bitrate I think its around 90mpbs. Philip talks about it in his review.
Review of the Canon 5DmkIII now with full video review and footage.
I am really excited for this one. I like the idea of a blind test and letting the DP get the most out of his camera.
I have learned a ton from each one of these shootouts and I have a feeling this one will educate me the most.
I'm using the EX1 you made me buy at a wedding today. For many things she's still perfect for me, for some she's starting to show her age.
Looking forward to the new shootout, I enjoyed the previous ones.
I screened the Shootout here in L.A. last month and participated in the post screening discussion. All of the cameras looked good. Even the iphone and Hacked GH2 (which really opened a lot of eyes) looked good. Some camera looked great.
The real heart of the Revenge screening was seeing the amount of relighting and post production work each team had to do in order to get their camera to look good. Some cameras looked good out of the box, while others needed a lot of work to get a good image.
Dollar for dollar the Hacked GH2 won the Shootout. For $700 you get a lot of camera. It did a very respectable job in the shadow of camera costing 50x more.
Even the iPhone 4s looked decent. Now, it was using a tiny 5 element plastic lens and the other cameras were using a $50,000 Fujinon zoom lens. So was it really a fair fight?
Regardless of cost, the Arri Alexa won the Revenge shootout for me. Arriflex did an amazing job on that camera. The team that had the Alexa seemed to do very little relighting and very little post production work to make the image look top notch. And in the real world, saving time in production and post production save money. And producers will always choose the camera that gives them a great image while saving both time and money.
YEP!!! Looking in forward to seeing what the guys come up with on this one.
I was at the screening last night in Boston. It was really interesting. The takeaway for me was(which I think we all know already) the cinematographer is the most significant factor in the final image quality. The GH-2 in the un-corrected "Empirical" shot looked horrendous. After the shot was re-lit, it was one of the best. The Alexa always looked good, corrected or uncorrected. The Sony F3 was very good as well. The F65 was great but only marginally better than the F3. The C-300 and the Epic looked a bit disappointing. But, we have all seen stunning imagery from those cameras so I think it was due to lighting and post-production choices. The blind test with the un-labeled cameras after the scene re-light was very challenging. My choices were the F3 and the GH2. But one person picked the I-Phone as the best image. For me it was a re-affirmation of what we all should remember. Obsess over your light, not your camera. Get the best camera you can for your budget and workflow constraints and put all your energy into great imagery.
You mentioned a hacked 60D in your post. Which hack are you referring to? Thanks a ton Philip!
Looking forward to it. One question, why do you say a hacked 60D would have been better in the shootout than a 7D? And by hacked, do you mean running Magic Lantern firmware? I only ask because I'm a 60D owner and I want to make sure I'm not missing a trick.
A great concept at a time when there is a massive development of interest in cinematography and video, when prices have come down so dramatically. Philip, you are standing on that border between the movie making elite, the indy film makers, the video professionals and the keen amateurs… the sheer demand for your input via workshops and the way you have been embraced by George Lucas and others just shows how the barriers have fallen away. I will be fascinated to watch this, as it seeks to shed light on how these barriers can be broken down even more. Like the first comment said, the sound track to this trailer doesn't fit, but its a mute point!
As much as I'm excited for new technologies, I will always love the charm of film. I'm excited that in the UK, Giorgio Moroder's limited edition of Metropolis will be released on DVD. It will also be viewable online on July 23rd through YEKRA- a revolutionary video on demand system that conveniently streams directly to you. If anyone is interested the official trailer is at Metropolismovie.co.uk.
This was beautiful!!! Thank you for posting it!
Rather disappointed with the first of three episodes. Spent basically the whole half hour with talking heads saying how wonderful and cool they all were for being able to film things. Kinda like an ego boost tape for old film makers? It looked like it lacked a directors ability to make cuts to aid pacing, eg. the quoting of names section. For the in-crowd I'm sure it will be wonderful. Anyway, the film had the audio out of sync all the way through and I can't remember ever having managed to do that, kind of ironic. The version on the net also seems to be somewhat low res.
the sync issue was temp as worked to the wire to get this out. shame you cannot see the value in what they say!
For the most part, the talking heads had little value for me. I think its the difference between "making of" featurettes on most DVD's vs the "making of" doccos that accompany LotR and now the Hobbit. You actually learn something from the latter, as well as see how unpretentious they are. The former are obsessed with "oh how wonderful it is to work with such a great actor." My favourites were B and H. I didn't like D, and I. The shootout itself is remarkable. I might say I'm really enjoying reading your past posts here now that I've found your site.
Sitting this through is a very sobering and humbling experience. As it turns out, there is only one shoot that stands out in a negative way (my guess: the iPhone). All the rest are basically ok up to amazing. De gustibus et coloribus non disbutandum. (Latin for 'don't argue about colors and tastes.') The lesson to be learnt from this: not the camera, not the glass, but the crew, the lighting (and the sound) make all the difference. For beginning filmmakers, there is a lesson well taught: invest in audio and light equipment rather than camera and glass.
On a quick look, probably B, F, C and E for me, in that order. I've read a few comments saying B is the GH2. If so, I'd probably feel a bit embarrassed, but at least can console myself with the fact that it's within my budget range! Can't wait to hear the results.
Curious what you think of the somewhat negative reactions the C300 is getting from the Shootout. What did you think of that footage? Is it just a matter of 8bit 4:2:2?
I haven't yet seen the Revenge footage. Am hoping to see it projected first.
no, everything comes down to the DP and how it was coloured. Totally subjective.
B and D were the only two images I outright disliked… because both seemed to "miss the point" in the scene. Almost everything was well and evenly lit, so the whole time my eyes were drawn to Mr. GreenShirt… and (interpreting the action) it ain't his story.
Most of the other images let that obnoxious shirt get blown into silhouette by the window, which IMO was a far, far, far better choice.
I liked A, F & H the best. with E & I being nice enough for the work I do if the other features (use ability) of those cameras were appealing.
philip, I see you liked the film. I agree that their is lots to learn and I like the choice to turn the shoot out into a moment of education about shooting. but I just wouldn't of made it so dramatic, interviews on black and cinema music. I'm not trying to tear up, I just want to see some images and hear some pro thoughts. love the blind test element though.
Philip, could you please elaborate on why you think hacked 60D (magic lantern, right?) would be better for this shoot out. Why you're saying this?
What do you think about FS100 performance in the test?
Thank you for replying to every single one of us who asked the same question! It's very nice that you really did this.
Philip, about that Canon XA10. I am looking for a first camera for film-making on a budget and can't go for a DSLR.. Do you reckon the XA10 (or young brother HF10) could potentially look okay if professionally blown up on a huge 60 foot screen – I understand the image chip is from the professional range. Sincerest thanks.
This is really a great way to see how much weight each component from acquisition to output has on an image. Its really the magic ratio. Lighting-DP-Camera-Coloring. It is not as important to think of the the parts themselves, it is the synergy of the mixture.
I have to say that I was a bit hesitant to watch this series of videos. The reason for my hesitation is that I didn't want to lust after a camera that I couldn't afford. I'm still relatively new to shooting video. I only started back in February of 2012 (this year) and it is now only October.
I don't know if the film industry uses the same lingo or not but in the music industry we call it "GAS" or Gear Acquisition Syndrome. It's like continually chasing after the perfect guitar when they can all do essentially the same thing. You can write a good song on a crappy guitar. You can also write a crappy song on a high-quality guitar. These things are all subjective and it really comes down to the songwriter.
What I found by watching these videos is that you can get useable images out of every piece of gear presented. Some take more work than others and some cost a lot more than others. I don't have an expert eye when it comes to these things but this shootout is teaching me something more about cameras. I like that it is a blind shootout so you can really look at the image and not the name brand.
There are a lot of takeaways from this Shootout and for me it isn't "What's my next camera is going to be?" It is how can I use what I have to its fullest potential. As I get better then I can try to expand my camera arsenal. Right now, I need to learn to expand my skill with the camera I have.


Your tattoo fan? If the art of body painting is one of your favorites, be sure to equip yourself with a variety of information about him.Also, if you're a beginner who want to dabble. Tattoos are permanent will exist forever in some parts of the body that you want to paint a picture or a word, symbol of the characters themselves. This option is entirely a personal right, but it could not hurt to understand the risks.
Tattoos color, especially red, can cause allergic skin reactions in the form. In fact, the skin feels itchy body parts tattooed. Allergies are not just available soon, but can last for years after your tattoo body.
Tattoos can lead to infections caused by bacteria. The sign, redness, swelling, pain and purulent.
Bumps on the skin around the tattooed area, called granulomas, other problems that result from tattooing the body. Tattoos can also promote the growth of keloids or extra skin tissue that grew in the scar.
When the tattoo, be sure to use sterile equipment and hygienic.Risks that may arise when the body the tattoo is a needle contaminated with infected blood diseases such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, tetanus and HIV.
Tattoos can cause swelling or burning of the skin when the owner of the tattoo were subjected to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI uses strong magnetic fields with computer technology to produce detailed images of organs and soft tissues of the body. Tattoos are permanent on your body image can affect the results of the MRI.
All skin problems or illnesses because of the tattoo can be treated with care and special treatment. In fact, in some cases, the tattoo must be removed if you want to overcome health problems that interfere with this.

Europe is not a cash box, let alone a cashpoint.
Britain is more protected because of speculation the central bank may intervene directly to finance the debt.
The first time that I went to the United States was in 1974 ... what impresses me most in this large nation is its capacity to overcome hardship and return to the heights.
François Gérard Georges Nicolas Hollande (French pronunciation: [fʁɑ̃swa ɔlɑ̃d]; born 12 August 1954) is a French politician. He was the 24th President of France from 2012 until 2017, when he was succeeded by Emmanuel Macron.
In addition to relative indifference to the fate of the euro area, Britain is more protected because of speculation the central bank may intervene directly to finance the debt ... Europe is not a cash box, let alone a cashpoint.
As quoted in "New French leader fires a broadside at Britain: You only care about the City of London, says President Hollande" (8 May 2012), Daily Mail.
As quoted in "Exclusive: President François Hollande Talks Syria, Spies and Secrets With TIME" (5 February 2014), by Catherine Mayer, Time.
The first time that I went to the United States was in 1974 ... I was 20 years old. America was in crisis. The dollar was at a low. The Watergate scandal had already erupted. And I still remember this vision I had of New York, which was a huge, fascinating city, dirty and violent. And I've been to the U.S. regularly, but what impresses me most in this large nation is its capacity to overcome hardship and return to the heights.

God, I love this picture.
I'm thinking about skipping my "extracurricular" club today. I mean, don't get me wrong, Russian Folklore is quite fascinating, but I'd rather nap. Obviously I have my priorities straight.
I'd really like to go to Russia at some point. I was supposed to go to St. Petersburg before the conference, but I wound up cancelling that so I could go learn German (for my foreign language exam in the fall).
The foreign language requirements for philosophy aren't too bad...most programs require two languages (although very occasionally a program will require three) although my impression is that the foreign language exams aren't too bad. For example, a few people took the German reading course with no prior coursework in German, then took the exam at the end of the semester and passed. So, it sounds like it's basic competency in translating texts. After you pass the exam, then you can apply for funding to do more in-depth studies in Germany---say, a year--so that you can do dissertation research with German sources. I get the impression that Comp Lit is a bit more intense...e.g. some programs you have to demonstrate you can translate in a couple of different languages as a criteria of admission.
haha, thanks for the article. that is spectacular.
it is a good photo! very suave.
Giraffes are indeed spectacular. !
Haha, по-моему, я уже говорю больше свободный когда я говорю по-русски, чем когда я говорю по-французски... но я обычно робкий, и поэтому, говорить по-иностранные языки (и тоже по-английски!) мне трудно.

from #blacklivesmatter to black liberation
In this stirring and insightful analysis, activist and scholar Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor surveys the historical and contemporary ravages of racism and persistence of structural inequality such as mass incarceration and black unemployment.
The eruption of mass protests in the wake of the police murders of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in New York City have challenged the impunity with which officers of the law carry out violence against black people and punctured the illusion of a postracial America. The Black Lives Matter movement has awakened a new generation of activists.
In this stirring and insightful analysis, activist and scholar Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor surveys the historical and contemporary ravages of racism and persistence of structural inequality such as mass incarceration and black unemployment. In this context, she argues that this new struggle against police violence holds the potential to reignite a broader push for black liberation.
"From #BlackLivesMatter to Black Liberation is a must read for everyone who is serious about the ongoing praxis of freedom." ---Barbara Ransby, author of Ella Baker and the Black Freedom Movement
"[Taylor's] book is required reading for anyone interested in justice, equality and freedom." ---Michael C. Dawson, author of Blacks In and Out of the Left

Prix Ars Electronica 2019
Expanded Animation. Mapping an unlimited Landscape
The symposium Expanded Animation began in 2013 and offered a first approach to the expanding field of computer animation. It has since become an established part of the Ars Electronica Animation Festival and the international competition Prix Ars Electronica Computer Animation. Every year under an overarching theme, the symposium has researched the field of technology, art, animation, and aesthetics, investigated the collapsing boundaries in digital animation, and explored positions and future trends. As with the first conferences on computer animation at Ars Electronica in the 1980s, practice and theory are equally important. The richly illustrated publication Expanded Animation: Mapping an Unlimited Landscape features contributions from speakers and artists from the past six years and presents an overview of the prize winners in Prix category Computer Animation from 2011 to 2018.

Start date Things to do Balcony of Europe
Balcony of Europe
Paseo Balcón de Europa 1, Nerja, 29780
The famous Balcón de Europa, which was built where once stood the fortress that was destroyed in 1812 during the War of Independence, sits at the end of a broad palm-lined avenue that ends in a circular plaza that provides a panoramic view of the entire Nerja coast and, in front, an immense seascape that holds viewers spellbound.
For years it has been held that it was King Alfonso XII, during his visit to the region after the earthquake that shook La Axarquía in 1884, who upon approaching this place baptised it with the name by which it is known throughout the world ("Balcony of Europe"). There are now serious doubts as to the veracity of that account or whether that was Alfonso XII"s precise exclamation, but it is true that from that time the former Paseo de la Batería ("Battery Promenade", an allusion to the battery of cannon that used to be in the fortress) began to be called Balcón de Europa.


It's only publishers who think that people own it.
Today Taylor, Joel, and I traveled to see Ashton perform her drum solo, her piano solo, and to sing her part in a 4-part ensemble piece for the district music recital.
she did a marvelous job, and we could not have been more proud of her performance.

The Blind Poet
by Jameson CurrierApr 25, 2019Editorial
I have been reprimanded by a poet I have published several times because I asked him to stop sending me his poems the moment he completes them. I have known this poet more than twenty years, since the mid-1990s when we both contributed to a magazine focusing on individuals with HIV. To be frank, I don't remember him from those days; I don't think we ever met, we only shared our names on the masthead of the magazine we both contributed to, but he seems to remember me fondly from those days or so I learned when he reintroduced himself by sending me a package of his poems that arrived one day by snail mail after I had become a publisher who published printed books. I became a publisher to publish printed books by lost or overlooked gay voices, particularly my own, so when this particular poet, a gay man who has HIV and who writes poems about his life with HIV, began sending me typed copies of his poems in the mail delivered by the US post office, I began to read and consider publishing him. One drawback, of course, in the electronic digital age is that because he would snail mail me his poems I would have to scan or retype them myself into a word processing program if I wanted to publish them, which is something that didn't annoy me at first because I thought I was helping an under heard voice be more represented and find an audience—but as more and more of his poems arrived—it began to annoy me that I had to retype them if I wanted to publish them since every other gay male poet in the known universe was sending me poems electronically—as attachments to emails, embedded into emails, as texts and inside instant messages—and if they weren't sending me their poems electronically then they were checking on whether I had received their poems electronically and emailing whether I was going to publish their poems or if I was going to publish their poems, how soon was I going to publish their poems. Now I should probably admit that I have written several poems myself though I have never admitted or introduced myself as a poet, nor read one of my poems in public to mark a special occasion or as a special remembrance, reciting words in funny high or low or loud or soft voices and using hand gestures to emphasize the rhythm of syllables, though I will admit that when I was teenager and the editor of my high school yearbook I did alter several lyrics to Karen Carpenter songs to turn them into optimistic phrases we might one day remember when we became older. But today at the age of greater than sixty I'm grateful I grew out of that phase and I've now come to resent and cringe and roll my eyes when a gay man introduces himself as a poet. To me it has become a moniker for narcissism, self-absorption, vanity, egotism, and conceit, and an open invitation for anyone to applaud the person labeled "poet" whether or not the poet is even any good at writing poetry, even if the poet is writing poems about Abraham Lincoln sleeping in a bed with another man or the horrific death of Matthew Shepard that are awful. My experience with poets, earned the hard way through the school of hard knocks, has made me realize that "poet" is the self-selected label of an egotist, a person who desires claps and laughs and giggles and intake of gasps in response for being in love with himself while over pronouncing words or suggesting meanings that may or may not be obvious or possibly irrelevant when you deconstruct the egotism. And the thing about "gay male poets" is that they bond and band together, as though they were forming a cult, reciting syllables in strange sounding voices and waving and gesturing their hands in public whenever they can get an invitation to do so, though they will each stab each other in the back and criticize and mock each other the first opportunity they can, though never in print, never in publications because that would be to deny the existence of the very essence of what keeps them alive—the beauty and essence and breath and vitality of poems and words that form rhythms and rhymes and are intended to provide laughs and leaps of insight into the joys and sorrows of life. So by the time the gay male poet with HIV began sending me through the USPS snail mail clippings and entire magazines that featured his self-reflective poems or interviews about him writing his self-reflective poems (and including copies of his previously published poetry collections in these packages), I was besieged by other gay male poets too, each with special needs. There was one gay male poet who was adamant that if I published his poem it must retain a single blank space at the beginning of every line of his poem, so much so that he had a fellow gay poet reiterate the point (and blank space) to me, and all I could do was roll my eyes and think, well, how does he do that blank space when he performs his poem before an enraptured crowd of other gay male poets? Does he intake a short breath or let out a sigh or is it revealed by the quick wave of a hand? But then there was poet who pulled his work from a collection of gay male poets that I was working on publishing because the software I was using accidentally broke the lines of his poems in the wrong place and he couldn't wait a day for me to learn the code to correct it. There was also a poet who sent me a poem that was a repetition of one foul word, as if the foul word repeated and repeated and strung together, line after line after line, created some kind of art form that had never existed before and that I would think was the mark of an undiscovered genius. And then there was a poet who sent me a poem that was only a title, with nothing but blank space and his name at the end of the blank page and all I could think was that he had made a mistake, or why would I want to publish a blank sheet of paper with only the title and the name of the poet, and instead of a light bulb bursting into brightness above my own head at the ingenuity of it, my eyes squinted in disbelief and my own voice turned high and I thought, Really? Really? But I published each of these poets, kindly asking them for other submissions, patiently waiting for a poem from them that I might understand and reflect a moment of the life of a gay man who might not be as narcissistic and vain as he really is, and to my shock and horror when I accepted these poems from gay male poets their only acknowledgement of that acceptance was a fleeting Happy Dance post on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram, only to be able to bathe in the congratulatory joys of hundreds of "Likes" by the friends or faux friends or other members of the gay male poetry cults as if they had just read their poem in an auditorium with a standing room only crowd. Each and every one of these poets would not buy a copy of the collection I had published that featured their poem and that had cost me a lot of time and money to do so. One gay male poet with a particularly high-toned speaking voice who was included in a collection of poems I published even gave the collection three stars on Goodreads, as if he didn't realize that by doing so, slamming the contributions of his fellow gay male poets, he was also admitting to the substandard hand-flapping rhythms of his own piece of shit. But my rant is now straying from the point (or blank space) of the gay male poet with HIV who mailed me his poems in the mail. I ended up publishing him several times, of course, and publishing a collection of his poems, which did not sell more than fifty copies on the open market or even five electronic copies on the world's largest shopping megasite. But even after I had flushed this money down the toilet on his behalf, he kept sending me more poems to consider and retype, as well as a tiny hand-cranked machine that could grind coffee beans that was clearly an instance of "regifting." I sent him a kind, gentle email stating that he did not need to send me such gifts through the postal service or by a courier service because in doing so, he was sending a package to a New York address where no one was at home during the day because I had a day job to support my "publishing gay male poets habit" and which would make me have to chase the Fedex truck or the UPS man or trek across town to the post office that was holding the package for me to pick up. About this time I also began suggesting by email that he send me his poems in an electronic version so that I would not have to type them myself, which is how his friend, the typist, began sending me poems by the gay male poet with HIV to an email address that I seldom used. This poet's poems were seldom more than twelve lines long so the fact that he had solicited a typist to type and send his poems to me made me wonder why he wasn't doing so himself and what could possibly prevent him from doing so. I felt that if he could afford to send me a coffee bean grinder through the mail he could afford to buy a cheap software dictation program if he needed one. And then I tried to give him the courtesy of doubt, and began to wonder if he was disabled, unable to use his hands and fingers or if he was blind, or going blind, a side effect of being HIV positive or on medication for so many years. I began to find and reread the clippings he had sent, seeking out if he had a disability or was blind, but nowhere was there any mention of any loss of sight or the inability to type himself, and his poems, after all, when I began to consider them as a whole, a creative project of a specific individual, were about having sex with other gay men, or relationships with other gay men, or even, as he grew older and gathered up more and more men in his poems, about having sex and being gay. There was no mention of being blind or unable to type at a computer keyboard. The only insight I found into his habit of sending me poem after poem after poem was a mention in an interview of how he liked to nurture the publishers who were publishing his poems, by sending them more and more and more, and in doing so establish a creative two-way relationship between poet and publisher, which meant that I was now in a dysfunctional one-sided relationship with a gay male poet with HIV who I had never met. So I casually began referring to him as "the blind poet" in conversations with friends and other writers, because not only couldn't he type his own poems, he couldn't "see" the reaction of his publisher. The blind poet's typist continued to send me poems to the wrong email address and they always seemed to arrive unexpectedly and off-cycle, just when I had completed a book project or closed an issue of the literary magazine I edit and publish, and I would have to create a new folder on my computer to save the poem to read and consider at a later date. Then one day I had just had enough when the typist emailed me a poem, finally to the correct email address, and then sent another email announcing the earlier version he had sent me had a typo and to use this one instead and which was followed by another email which had found another typo with a new and better version of the poem attached. This happened a few times subsequently; if a typo had not been discovered then the blind poet would change a word, thinking that the later and newer word was a better reflection of his intention for the poem. I finally sent an email to the gay male poet with HIV who may or may not have been blind requesting that he only submit poems during the open submission periods that I would post and keep him informed of. This seemed to incense him, particularly since his typist was sending me poems while the blind poet was in Spain. The blind poet sent me an email response himself from Spain (which he either typed himself or dictated to a machine or a person who was with him at the time) with the subject heading "collegiality" with a particular poetic emphasis on the word in the subject line appearing in all lower case. He wrote, "I figured the official submission period had ended but I just wanted to share my poem as a courtesy/think piece," and then went on to write that he had sent the same poem to another publisher who publishes gay male poets (and who identifies himself in public as a gay male poet) who responded immediately that he wanted to publish the poem. I closed the email and thought, well, at least that gets me off the hook on this one, but the gay male poet who may or may not be blind doesn't seem to understand that I never asked him to send me his typed poems in the mail, or clippings of his publications, or copies of his collections, or even the coffee bean grinder, and at the time he sent me most of his poems I wasn't even considering publishing his poems or anyone else's poems. But the thing that will be remembered, of course, from this small rant that I am spilling out onto the printed page today and typing myself, is not the lack of collegiality between a gay poet and a person who is "not a poet" and who happens to be a publisher who publishes gay male poets, but how a "publisher" publicly mocked poets for performing in poet voices and with poet hands, and specifically a gay male poet with HIV who may or may not be blind.

Sharon Jones, a powerful soul and blues singer who achieved mid-life fame as lead singer for the Dap-Kings and who returned to touring this year after fighting cancer, has died. The NewsHour's Christopher Booker reports.
I been late. Alone for hours.
Out in front was her voice — a master class in soul, rhythm and blues, and funk. Born in Georgia, raised in Brooklyn and the Baptist church, she was part Aretha Franklin, part James Brown, and all Sharon Jones.
I never took vocal lessons, just practicing, just building up my lungs to be a singer.
But it was a voice — if not for her will and determination — that was nearly overlooked. Jones sang in wedding bands but spent years making a living as an armored guard for Wells Fargo and a corrections officer at Rikers Island. But in 1996, at the age of 40, she met a bass player named Gabe Roth, who was forming a new record label Daptone.
After that meeting, Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings recorded six albums — celebrating and re-inventing a sound thought lost to the digital world. She received Grammy nomination and influenced singers like Amy Winehouse and Adele. In 2013, she began her fight against pancreatic cancer, and resumed performing the following year after receiving treatment.

Primark VS Prada - budget sandals are almost identical and £12 instead of £610
The popular budget retailer is known for its look-a-like designer products
Catherine Murphy
Zasha Whiteway-WilkinsonContent Editor
People love Primark - this is a stone cold fact.
The budget retailer sells everything from clothing, shoes, accesories to homeware - all at totally afforable prices for normal shoppers.
However, in recent years the store which has sites in Cheltenham and Gloucester has become known for offering shoppers designer look-a-like items for a fraction of the cost.
The latest in this bid to save customers hundreds of pounds in comparison to designer brands, is a pair of summery sandals, the Liverpool Echo reports.
Primark is now selling a £12 pair of black sandals which look almost identical to ones sold by designer brand Prada. The main difference of course is the price with £598 between both pairs.
Both are black with chunky soles and velcro straps. Prada's have its logo on the straps while Primark's are plain.
Primark's pair at £12
Last year, Primark released a £14 pair of trainers which were practically identical to one for £360 by Alexander McQueen. Primark also restocked a drinks trolley last month, which was £360 cheaper than one sold by Oliver Bonas.
Gloucester's Primark has been in the news recently too as it is set to take over the former site of BHS in the city.
Prada's pair for £610
The BHS site has been empty for more than three years and speculation surrounded what would replace the former department store but a planning application submitted to Gloucester City Council revealed that it would indeed be Primark.
When asked back in January about their plans, a spokesperson said: "Primark does not comment on speculation or plans regarding new store openings."
This is what Primark said about new Gloucester store
Primark shoppers are raving about this £1.50 lipstick that is identical to MAC's Velvet Teddy
But after a planning application that was submitted to Gloucester City Council revealed the shop would be taking over the old BHS store, a spokesperson said: "Primark can confirm that the lease has been signed, and they'll be sharing further details in due course."

When you are looking for lifted trucks for sale, you need to give consideration to numerous factors if you wish to get dependability, service, and durability. Not many people find the process easy because such decisions require the simultaneous selection of the right lift kits and vehicle makes. Even if you have owned several automobiles in the past will only simplify the selection of the truck's make, but you still need assistance since the lifting effect will introduce a new set of challenges. let's look at some of the considerations you need to concentrate on before picking a lift truck.
There exist several state laws that concern lifted trucks, making it essential to look at them to be sure of the allowable configurations. A lifted truck could be appropriate in a neighboring state but not where you reside, and that could land you in trouble.
Safety is a major concern with all vehicles; lifted trucks included. The best trucks are those that come with features that minimize chances of accidents. These include seatside hydraulic controls, adjustable seats, and tilting steering columns.
Conduct some research to find out about the customer satisfaction status of the manufacturer. While every truck maker will give out assurances that their vehicles are the best; but what do customers have to say. If you look online or find a hard copy publication, you can get the relevant customer satisfaction standing of any lifted truck manufacturer.
Consider the use you intend to put the lifted truck for sale because it will aid in your tire selections. Popular types include rock climbing, street, sand, and road travel, making it essential to pick a tire type that corresponds to the use you need to put your vehicle most often.
The lifting of trucks alters the functioning of brakes, meaning that rotor and caliper sizes have to be adjusted since the dimensions of the wheels also change. Make certain that the lifted truck seller has made such adjustments.
The shocks in a lifted truck play critical roles; and therefore, you have to look at them properly. Do not purchase a vehicle with factory shocks because they will get damaged fast due to overextension since the lifting effect changes the range of motion that the truck operates in.
Purchase only from a seller that assures you of after sales support because you will need it from time to time. Make sure that the dealer has replacement parts, service vans, and qualified technicians if you intend to get the most out of a lifted truck.
Always give priority to environmentally-friendly lifted trucks for sale. There are various regulations by the government regarding emissions, making it necessary to pick makes and models with the lowest levels.

Yankees replace Swisher with Hairston Jr.
Chris Elsberry, STAFF WRITER
Oct. 30, 2009 Updated: Nov. 10, 2009 11:20 a.m.
NEW YORK -- The numbers don`t lie.
Nick Swisher has been struggling throughout the postseason. Swisher knows it. Yankee manager Joe Girardi knows it. Everyone in Yankee Nation knows it. So, when Girardi officially announced that Swisher would sit the bench for Game 2 of the World Series, it came as no surprise.
What did surprise a lot of people was who Girardi put in the starting lineup in his place: Jerry Hairston Jr.
Considering that Hairston had appeared in just three games through the Division Series and League Championship Series, many expected Girardi to put Brett Gardner in center field and move Melky Cabrera to right. But what Hairston has done against the Phillies` Game 2 starter, Pedro Martinez, was too much for Girardi to overlook.
"He`s had a lot of success off Pedro. We also like the way they kind of match up against each other, and that shows up in the numbers," Girardi said. "So we thought we`d go with Jerry tonight."
Hairston is 10 for 27, a cool .370 batting average, against Martinez in his career. Included in those hits are two doubles and a triple. Swisher had been hitless in two previous at-bats against Martinez while Gardner had never faced the veteran right-hander. And after Cliff Lee hung another 0-for-3 on Swisher in Game 1 Wednesday night -- dropping his postseason average to .114 (4-for-35) -- Girardi made his move.
"It was something that I was kicking around in my head and I talked to my staff about it when I got here today," Girardi said. "We made the decision to go with Jerry."
How did Swisher take the news?
"As far as Swish, as any other player, like I was when I didn`t start in some of the World Series, I really wanted to be out there," Girardi said. "But Swish is a team guy and he understands. And I told him to be ready because you never know when we might need him, and he said `OK.`"

Johnny Damon, another Yankee who`s not exactly lighting it up in the postseason -- the left fielder is hitting just .239 in 10 games -- understands the frustration that Swisher is going through. And he offered some words of encouragement.
"Nick wants to be the guy that helps carry us to the world championship and when you don`t contribute in a certain way, it`s tough," Damon said. "At this time of year, it`s about team. Hairston has had some success off Pedro. Right now, we`re just trying to win as a team. I`m sure we`ll see Nick in the ballgame tonight and he`s going to be ready."
In addition to making sure that Swisher stays prepared to play, Girardi wanted to try to keep him in a positive frame of mind.
"Everyone puts in so much hard work to get to this point, a chance to play in, and win, the World Series, so obviously there`s a lot of emotions that go into these games," Girardi said. "Can players try and do too much? Absolutely. The thing is, if you have a bad game, and there are going to be some bad games, you have to learn how to bounce back."

Excerpt from the GLB (Gramm-Leach-Biley Act)" Except for the amendments made by subsections (a) and (b), nothing in this title shall be construed to modify, limit, or supersede the operation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and no inference shall be drawn on the basis of the provisions of this title regarding whether information is transaction or experience information under section 603 of such Act."What are permissible purposes?
A business transaction that is initiated by the consumer; or to review an account to determine whether the consumer continues to meet the terms of the account.
In connection with a credit transaction involving the consumer on whom the information is to be furnished and involving the extension of credit to, or review or collection of an account of, the consumer. Asset searches may not be used to determine a consumer's eligibility for insurance, credit, or employment.
(FCRA) In connection with a consumer's employment. Asset searches may not be used to determine a consumer's eligibility for insurance, credit, or employment.
In connection with the underwriting of insurance involving a consumer. Asset searches may not be used to determine a consumer's eligibility for insurance, credit, or employment.
In connection with a determination of the consumer's eligibility for a license or other benefit granted by a governmental instrumentality required by law to consider an applicant's financial responsibility or status.
In accordance with the written instructions of a consumer.
In connection with a valuation of, or an assessment of the credit or prepayment risks associated with an existing credit obligation for a consumer.
In response to a request by the head of a State or local child support enforcement agency (or a State or local government official authorized by the head of such an agency) or to set a child support award.
For use by any Law Enforcement Agency, or any officer, employee, or agent of such agency in carrying out its official duties with proper authorization.
For use to protect against or prevent actual or potential fraud, unauthorized transactions, claims, or other liability.
For use in a properly authorized civil, criminal, or regulatory investigation, subpoena, or summons by federal, state, or local authorities.
Any other use permitted or otherwise not restricted by law, not subject to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 USC 1681(b) et.seq., as amended) and which may reasonably be expected to be part of the normal course and scope of your business or profession. The purpose is not to determine a consumer's eligibility for insurance, credit, employment or any other consumer-related purpose.
With regards to consumer investigative reports, obligations under the FCRA are as follows.
The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires that this notice be provided to inform users of consumer reports of their legal obligations. State law may impose additional requirements. This first section of this summary sets forth the responsibilities imposed by the FCRA on all users of consumer reports. The subsequent sections discuss the duties of users of reports that contain specific types of information, or that are used for certain purposes, and the legal consequences of violations. The FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681-1681u, is set forth in full at the Federal Trade Commission's Internet web site (http://www.ftc.gov).
In addition, creditors and insurers may obtain certain consumer report information for the purpose of making unsolicited offers of credit or insurance. The particular obligations of users of this "prescreened" information are described in Section V below.
The term "adverse action" is defined very broadly by Section 603 of the FCRA. "Adverse actions" include all business, credit, and employment actions affecting consumers that can be considered to have a negative impact — such as unfavorably changing credit or contract terms or conditions, denying or canceling credit or insurance, offering credit on less favorable terms than requested, or denying employment or promotion.
A statement setting forth the consumer's right to obtain a free disclosure of the consumer's file from the CRA if the consumer requests the report within 60 days.
If a person denies (or increases the charge for) credit for personal, family, or household purposes based either wholly or partly upon information from a person other than a CRA, and the information is the type of consumer information covered by the FCRA, Section 615(b)(1) of the FCRA requires that the user clearly and accurately disclose to the consumer his or her right to obtain disclosure of the nature of the information that was relied upon by making a written request within 60 days of notification. The user must provide the disclosure within a reasonable period of time following the consumer's written request.

Star-Crossed? See What Liam Hemsworth's Sister-In-Law, Billy Ray Cyrus Have To Say In Wake Of Miley's Breakup
Oct. 8 2013, Published 6:30 a.m. ET
Just weeks after Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth split, RadarOnline.com has learned that one woman had a lot to do with the formerly engaged couple's breakup. But it wasn't a new love for Liam that ended it all; according to a source, it was his sister-in-law, Elsa Pataky who urged him to give Miley the axe!
Elsa, the wife of Liam's big brother, Chris Hemsworth, "is no fan of Miley," a source close to the Hemsworth family reveals. "She spent the last year freezing Miley out in some kind of passive-agressive move."
Indeed, though close at one point, the couples had spent barely any time together in recent months.
And now that Cyrus and Liam have called it quits, the source says, "Elsa is totally against Miley and Liam getting back together."
"Miley desperately wants to get back with Liam and believes she can because she's done it before," the source insists. "But to do that, she's going to have to win over Elsa!"
Pataky, meanwhile, is making friends with other Hollywood A-listers. Since giving birth to her daughter, India Rose Hemsworth last year, she's bonded with Matt Damon's wife Luciana. Says the source, "She's much closer to her than to Miley."
And Liam's brother Chris has spoken out to say that he's glad he has a relationship that's very different from the one Liam had with Cyrus.
"I'm lucky," he told Ellen DeGeneres the day after Liam announced his breakup from his fiancèe. " … we've been lucky, my wife and I. We kind of live a pretty simple, boring kind of life. We're not rolling out of clubs at 4 in the morning. Not to say that Liam is, by the way. Well, he has once or twice!"
Liam has since moved on with Mexican actress and singer Eiza Gonzalez, while Miley's been linked to producer Mike WiLL Made It and NYC party boy Theo Wenner.
Speaking with Entertainment Tonight's Nancy O'Dell Monday, Miley's father Billy Ray lent his two cents on the issue
"All I know for sure is I heard my daughter say today she's the happiest she's ever been in her life immediately following" the split, the "Achy Breaky Heart" singer said. "That's when I saw Miley being so happy.
"Somewhere along the stress and strain of different things I didn't see her smiling as often for a little while and all of a sudden she's like the sun, and when she smiles it's light," he added. "Everything happens for a reason, and the main thing for me, as Miley's daddy, is she's happy."
For the chat with Billy, check out Entertainment Tonight Tuesday.


Hi friends. Excuse me for a moment, but I'm going to step up on my soapbox so that I can tell you to get off of yours. I've noticed a trend on social media lately, and I'm here to give it to you straight: stop hating on hashtag activism.
I get it, you probably do a lot for the conservative movement. You probably network like a champion, collect signatures on the campaign trail, and phone bank for candidates. You probably have a great internship with a think tank, write killer articles, and are vice-chair of whatever youth organization is most prominent on your campus. That's awesome, seriously, it is. Thank you for all you do to further our message of limited government, fiscal responsibility, and personal liberty. You want to do all you can and I encourage that, but I've noticed so many young conservatives get uppity about social media utilization, and quite frankly, it needs to stop.
First of all, not everyone has the same opportunities as you. When you're new to the conservative movement, you don't have the resume that it takes to land the job you're passionate about. You don't have the network it takes to move up. Depending on your age and school, chapters aren't available on your campus. Depending on your geographical location, there aren't campaigns readily available for your help. You were probably in this position once too. Stop looking down on the people who don't have the opportunity or know-how to get as involved as you are.
Second of all, not everyone wants to toot their own horn. Just because you only see someone active on social media does not mean they're inactive in their communities. Just because someone works humbly behind the scenes and doesn't list their every accomplishment in their Twitter bio doesn't mean they're nothing more than a keyboard warrior.
Third, social media is an amazing tool. Yes, we need boots on the ground and we need grassroots organization to change the direction of our nation. In general, we need to impact people. You know where people are? On social media. You can spend all day on campus tabling for a cause and walk away having only been listened to by a handful of students. Maybe you got 3 new members, maybe you got 40 signatures. You can spend 30 seconds composing a tweet or a Facebook post, then check back an hour later have reached 100,000+ people at one time. There is a place for BOTH methods in the conservative movement and they're both necessary to building a stronger and better movement. . The more the merrier.
Fourth, it is better than nothing. We all have the same end goal. We have different ways of getting there, sure, but we have the same values and we are on the same team. If someone doesn't contribute in the same way as you, would you rather they just do nothing, or would you rather they utilize their strengths and do what they can to get out our message? We're stronger when we unify. We're stronger when we're together. We're stronger when we collaborate.
The right has this crazy misconception that if you aren't doing the most difficult job, you aren't good enough. That's wrong, and that's why the left wins. Let's let everyone do the things that best maximize their strengths and what they bring to the table for our party, our movement, and our country. Seems like common sense to me. Stop hating hashtag activism.

@Bloocifer, 31 – FUNDED
She's been streaming for more than six years, but @Bloocifer's career hasn't been without some serious challenges — including a malicious attack from another broadcaster that affected her well-being in more ways than one. That's all behind this BroadcastHER Grant winner now, though, and she's back to working on her unique content that includes book streams, literary discussion and a read-through project.
My dream is to make engaging gaming and literature content.
This grant will allow me to procure better equipment and devote more time to streaming.
This grant has made possible the continuation of my literature streaming project that is almost totally unique to Twitch!
We need to believe women when they talk about their struggles and support them when they tell their stories and lived experiences.
In late 2014, a Partnered Twitch Broadcaster and her unpartnered broadcaster fiancé attacked me in my stream and accused me of con-artistry and fabricating my multiple serious health issues. The Partner told me she would do everything in her power to see me run off Twitch or banned completely. She used their combined audiences to maliciously raid, brigade, and witch-hunt me for months, and I received serious, scary threats
Over the next six months my average viewership fell significantly while I simultaneously experienced a heavy influx of users entering my chat just to terrorize me. I was in a very dark place for a long time, but over the last year, I have more or less escaped the pall hanging over me that her accusations left while attempting to recover my stream.
You are worth it. You are beautiful, intelligent, and valued. You have just as much right to play games for people as the boys do. Don't ever let anyone tell you differently.
I am very driven. As I am not able to work traditionally due to serious health issues, I treat streaming as my career and take it extremely seriously.

Tulsa King Can Turn Into Yellowstone-esque Universe, Says Paramount Exec
'Tulsa King' Can Spin Out Into 'Yellowstone'-esque Universe, Says Paramount Exec
"I think there's always a possibility that there's more to that universe."
Image via Paramount+
Creator Taylor Sheridan is having an excellent time with Paramount. The streamer is thriving on his capabilities to create an intricate universe that spins many shows, and Yellowstone is one great example of how the creator can get the audience glued to their seats. His recent series Tulsa King with Sylvester Stallone in the lead is also being commended by fans and critics alike. In a recent chat with IndieWire, Paramount Programming Chief, Tanya Giles, confirmed the possibility of turning the show into its own universe.
"The short answer is absolutely. We're open to the possibilities, everything," Giles said of the idea of spinning more stories out of Sheridan and Stallone's labor of love. She further explained, "What we love to do is take this valuable IP and turn anything into a franchise because we believe there's a world of storytelling to be told that the audience can enjoy, and they love the characters. Let's see where it can take us." Tulsa King has some amazing performances, good storylines, and is shouldered brilliantly by Stallone.
Tulsa King sees Stallone as Mafia capo, Dwight, who gets out of prison and is unceremoniously exiled by his boss to set up shop in Tulsa. When he figures that his mob family may not have his best interests in mind, Dwight slowly builds his own crew with a bunch of misfits. The feature marks Stallone's first TV series and the pilot garnered 3.7 million total viewers over its first three days. "The huge success we've had with 'Tulsa King' and Sylvester Stallone opens up possibilities with Taylor Sheridan, who consistently, his mind works in terms of universes and backstories, so I think there's always a possibility that there's more to that universe and more to that story. More to come there," Giles added.
RELATED: 'Tulsa King' Premiere Review: Stallone Rules All in Taylor Sheridan's New Show
A Season 2 has already been ordered by the network. Along with Stallone as Dwight the feature stars power paced performers like Andrea Savage as Stacy Beale, Martin Starr as Lawrence, Jay Will as Tyson Mitchell, Max Casella as Armand, Domenick Lombardozzi as Don Charles, Vincent Piazza as Vince Antonacci, Dana Delany as Margaret and more. Sheridan executive produced the feature alongside Terence Winter, who serves as showrunner and writer. Stallone also executive produces with David C. Glasser, Ron Burkle, Bob Yari, David Hutkin, Allen Coulter, and Braden Aftergood.
