Minor parties in the 2020 Prez race
Princess Khadijah M. Pres Jacob-Fambro
Saturday afternoon, after the Associated Press declared Joe Biden the winner of the race, I came to a realization. When I voted eight days before Election Day, I never even looked at who the other choices were.
In New York, it was the two major party guys, but each was also on a second line. The Democrat received 51%, but on the Working Families line got an additional 4.41%. The Republican netted 38.71% on that line but an additional 3.35% under the Conservative banner.
Jo Jorgensen was the Libertarian candidate, the only other person to appear on the ballot in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. In New York, she got only 0.72% of the vote but reached 1.2% nationally. Part of her plan "is to turn America into one giant Switzerland, armed and neutral." She ran with Spike Cohen.
"On Day One of a Jorgensen administration, I will pardon all 80,000 non-violent people imprisoned on federal drug charges. The War on Drugs has been a disaster and has been used to target the poor and people of color, and to ruin lives that could have been salvaged… I will also use my pardon power to free whistleblowers who risked their liberty to expose corruption and abuse by government agencies." Actually, I'm good with that part.
At this writing, Jo Jorgenson's vote count percentage is greater than the Dem/GOP difference in AZ (11 Electoral Votes, 1.5 v 0.7), GA (16 EV, 1.2 v 0.2), PA (20 EV 1.1 v 0.6), and WI (10 EV, 1.2 v 0.7), all in Biden's favor.
Georgia hasn't been called, but assuming 290 Biden votes, the loss of those three other states would have brought him down to 249. His chief opponent would go up to 255, with NC's 15 EV likely to go to the GOP. That's 270 and re-election.
So is Jo Jorgensen a "spoiler"?
Howie Hawkins was on the ballot as the Green Party candidate. He received 0.35% of the vote in New York and about 2% of the vote nationally, running in 30 states. I have actually voted for Howie in the past. In 2010, 2014, and 2018, he ran for governor of my state. The latter two times I supported him against Andrew Cuomo and a Republican who frankly was sure to lose. His running mate in 2020 was Angela Nicole Walker.
Incidentally, the Green Party candidate in Alaska was former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura, running with Cynthia McKinney. They got 0.8% of the votes in that state.
Roque De La Fuente got on the ballot for The Alliance Party in 16 states – not NY – but did not get more than 0.3% of the vote in any state, and that in California. In 2018, he was a 2018 Republican candidate who sought election to the U.S. Senate from nine different states! He had multiple running mates.
Gloria La Riva also had different running mates in her quest running on the Party for Socialism and Liberation. You thought Joe Biden was a socialist? Like De La Fuente, her highest percentage on the 15 ballots she appeared on was in California, with 0.3% of the vote. Not on the NY ballot.
Oh, yeah, THOSE guys
Brock Pierce
Independent Kanye West was running in a dozen states, but not mine. He got as much as 0.4% of the vote in Idaho, Oklahoma, and Utah. The theory was that he might take votes away from Biden, but that did not materialize. He ran with Wyoming preacher Michelle Tidball.
Don Blankenship of the Constitution Party is one of my least favorite people. He "was the chief executive of Massey Energy Co., the leading producer of coal in Appalachia, from 2000 to 2010. He resigned following the Upper Big Branch mine explosion in April 2010 that killed 29 miners." Blankenship "was convicted of conspiring to willfully violate safety standards and served one year in prison for the misdemeanor," and should have served longer.
He made it onto 20 state ballots, not NY, and got 0.4% of the vote in Alaska and Utah. His running mate was William Mohr. All the people listed so far got at least 50,000 votes nationally.
The last name on the New York State ballot was Brock Pierce. The Blockchain technology and digital currency guy got over 40,000 votes. He appeared on 15 state ballots and got 0.3% of the vote in Idaho and New York, 0.4% in Alaska, and a staggering 0.8% of the vote in Wyoming.
From his campaign website: "Sustainability is essential at every level, starting with each of us as individuals and growing to encompass the whole that is our collective social organism, whether in the form of our country, our species, or our planet." His running mate was Karla Ballard.
Literally, the also-rans
Brian T. Carroll/Amar Patel (American Solidarity Party) received over 20,000 in eight states, 0.2% in Illinois and Wisconsin. Then there's a huge dropoff. Alyson Kennedy/Malcolm Jarrett (Socialist Workers Party) at over 6,000 in six states, never exceeding 0.1%. Now we're talking about the minor parties.
Fun names. Dawn Neptune Adams for VP on the Progressive Party line. Phil Collins for prez on the Prohibition Party; no, not THAT guy. The Grumpy Old Patriots party got over 1000 votes.
Genealogy Know Your Family History Party received over 550. The independent ticket of Princess Khadijah M. Pres Jacob-Fambro and Khadijah Maryam Jacob Sr.snagged 450 ballots. The Boiling Frog party won 135 supporters.
See the data dump on the topic I posted here and the chart (it slides on the bottom) I created here.

"Hey, Maybe We *Should* Postpone The Election"
A crony running USPS
Just the other day, I was kvetching to my wife. I said, "You know, I'd rather NOT write about him. But then he keeps doing worse crap." To wit, suggesting, on Twitter, naturally, that perhaps the United States should postpone the election of November 3 until we can get everyone to the polls safely.
This was so egregiously wrong that Steven Calabresi called for a second impeachment inquiry into him. He is the co-founder of the conservative Federalist Society, This was in a New York Times opinion piece in late July, "where he falsely characterized mail-in voting and proposed the delay of the 2020 presidential election in November, which the executive branch cannot enact."
Please understand the weight of the complainant. Calabresi has "he's voted Republican in the presidential election since 1980." He also "opposed the investigation into Russian election interference by Robert Mueller and was against the impeachment into Trump regarding withholding aid to Ukraine.
As for the Federalist Society, it is "a right-wing organization with 60,000 lawyers, law students and scholars." It has been "characterized as a 'conservative pipeline to the Supreme Court'" by the Atlantic. Recently confirmed judge Brett Kavanaugh joined the group while at Yale.
Calabresi wrote, "Until recently, I had taken as political hyperbole the Democrats' assertion that President Trump is a fascist. But this latest tweet is fascistic. And it is itself grounds for the president's immediate impeachment again by the House of Representatives and his removal from office by the Senate." Which won't happen, mind you.
Preciscient?
Ed Morrissey in Red State: "Good grief. For months, Donald Trump's allies and even a few of his critics have blasted Democrats and a handful of media figures for their baseless theories that the president would cancel or delay the national election. [Presumptive Democratic candidate Joe] Biden got ridiculed for saying that in April. 'Mark my words: I think he is gonna try to kick back the election somehow, come up with some rationale why it can't be held,' even though the law and the constitution are clear that presidents can't do that.
"The best that could be said for this tweet is that Trump's just spitballing, but even that's an indictment of its own. No president should just be spitballing a suggestion like this, not in public and not even in private, where it would leak to the press quickly enough anyway. The US held an election in the middle of its Civil War in 1864. We can hold an election in the middle of a pandemic, especially when the president himself keeps insisting we can and should reopen for business.
"Rather than recognize those [Constitutional] impossibilities and leave it as a paranoid-conspiracy theory for the Left, he has essentially vindicated Biden and the paranoids. And for what purpose? Trump can't do what he's suggesting, Congress wouldn't entertain the thought for one hot second… and it won't work anyway. What could possibly be gained from tweeting out this absurd idea, other than perhaps distracting from the bad GDP report everyone was more or less expecting anyway?"
Of course, the tweet was sent the same day it was announced that the U.S. gross domestic product dropped at an annual rate of 32.9%. Reports of polling putting Biden far ahead of him in the November election.
Properly, securely and safely vote
The argument for delaying has to do with people being able to get to the polls without risking their lives. During this primary season, we've seen people standing in long lines during a pandemic. Of course, those were almost always DEMOCRATIC primaries, so it didn't seem to matter to IMPOTUS.
A real problem, even prior to COVID-19, but certainly exacerbated by it, is a dearth of poll workers. There is a national effort to recruit more poll workers. These are healthy people "to ensure that those workers most susceptible to the coronavirus are given the space to take care of their health, while still keeping polling sites open and available for efficient in-person voting."
"We can also demand change from our local officials, who in most cases can take needed steps without waiting for the federal government to help. New voting technologies, training standards, polling place opening and closing hours, and poll worker recruitment practices are all decided at the state or local levels.
"State legislatures and state secretaries can expand, rather than shrink, the number of polling places, reversing the harmful trend of polling-place closures in recent years. They can also invest in more early voting sites, and keep them open for longer, reducing the number of voters who cast ballots on Election Day itself."
Undermining the Postal Service
Meanwhile, the US Postal Service is experiencing days-long backlogs of mail across the country. It is after a top djt donor running the agency put in place new procedures "described as cost-cutting efforts, alarming postal workers who warn that the policies could undermine their ability to deliver ballots on time for the November election…
"Postal employees and union officials say the changes implemented by the Trump fund-raiser-turned-postmaster general Louis DeJoy are contributing to a growing perception that mail delays are the result of a political effort to undermine absentee voting."
One recent study found mail-in voting doesn't benefit one party over another.
Still, since every state has its own deadline for when you need to request an absentee or mail-in ballot, start looking into the options now. Verify that you're registered to vote and if you're not, do so right away.
With more voting options this year, the US Postal Service is encouraging voters to plan ahead. If you wait until the last minute to decide how to vote, you could be cutting it close, or even become disenfranchised. We're now less than 90 days away from the election – time to make a game plan.
Finally, since IMPOTUS' bogus call for postponing the election took place on the same day as John Lewis' funeral, tell your members of Congress to support The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act. For it is voter suppression that is the real threat to democracy in the United States.

Democrats debate: so MANY of them
Clorox the White House
Democrats debate. I don't watch, either in June or July. This is a terrible admission for a political science major to make. As I said six months ago, I'm not ready to commit to a candidate until the list of candidates has been winnowed down.
Some of my friends are grousing, "We've got to cut this roster NOW!" I'm thinking, "All in good time, grasshopper." The Republicans had their 17 candidates – and THAT'S the best they could come up with?
You will remember that LOTS of folks believed, not without cause, that the 2016 democratic party process favored one candidate (Hillary) over another (Bernie), and some of the latter either stayed home or incredibly, voted for the other guy. This tedious process is the result.
Of course, I read ABOUT the debates I'm not thrilled with the format of these things. When NBC wanted a "show of hands" about complex issues, I cringed. CNN sought conflict, even when there was none.
I was GOING to write about each of the candidates, but – and this is true -I see a few of them on the screen and say aloud, "Which one is he, again?" And I was going to redo this online poll, which I did in February, but it reflected only about half the candidates. Still, the percentages listed reflect how much I purportedly agreed with each.
Elizabeth Warren (93%) always seems prepared. Her answer about the aspirational nature of running for President resonated. The bluster of Bernie Sanders (92%) has been fodder for the late-night comedians, but I don't doubt his sincerity.
Kirsten Gillibrand (92%) is my US Senator. I voted for her more than once for that job. But she will not win and is only still in this race because she got money early. But she can come by and, in her words, "Clorox the White House."
I'm glad Julian Castro (92%) is faring OK. I liked his answer about the economy: "There are a lot of Americans that are hurting. Just go and ask the folks that received notice they're getting laid off by General Motors, or ask the folks sleeping on the street in big cities and small towns across the United States." I'd like him for the Cabinet.
I expected the prosecutorial background of Kamala Harris (92%) to come back to bite her, and, apparently, it did. With Beto O'Rourke (91%), I'm STILL not convinced there is substance there. I gather Pete Buttigieg (91%) overhyped his youth, and the last debate-style did not play to his strength. Tulsi Gabbard (90%) scored points at Harris' expense.
Amy Klobuchar (90%), er… she also wore a red jacket, like Warren? Andrew Yang (89%) may have ideas other than his one-note giveaway. Cory Booker (87%) was trying to be so nice the first time, he almost disappeared; I gather he fared better in round two.
Joe Biden (83%): beyond being the guy with a target on his back, he's got to figure out how to say, essentially, "We did the best we could, based on what we knew then." LOTS of people supported the crime bill that led to mass incarceration. Some seemed peeved at his mentions of personal loss and his Obama connection.
Marianne Williamson (83%) had been so portrayed as a dangerous flake, I was shocked about her cogent comments on race. She was correct that the Flint, MI water crisis would not have taken place in well-to-do Grosse Pointe, where she had lived.
"If you think any of this wonkiness is going to deal with this dark psychic force of the collectivized hatred that this president is bringing up in this country, then I'm afraid that the Democrats are going to see some very dark days." In other words, those MAGA hats won't go away on January 20, 2021, even if the donkeys win.
John Delaney (69%) -meh. Jay Inslee has made his environmental pitch; someone should pick him to run the EPA. Bill DeBlasio and Tom Steyer: I'm annoyed they're running.
And there are others.
My friends ARE correct that whatever these candidates say about each other, or Obama, the incumbent (15%) will use against the eventual winner. The process will be sorted out soon, with only seven to ten candidates likely to be on stage in Houston in September.

John McCain: blunt, hawkish, conciliatory, patriotic
"We have to fight isolationism, protectionism, and nativism. We have to defeat those who would worsen our divisions."
I'm SO conflicted about John McCain. He fought in Vietnam, a war that I had actively opposed. But it's long been my feeling that war is in the providence of civilian leadership. I understand that McCain, son, and grandson of four-star admirals, found his own way to serve his country, after his carousing youth, and suffered five and a half years of torture as a result.
After returning from Vietnam, McCain remained in the Navy until 1981, after which he embarked on a second career in politics. He was elected to the House of Representatives as a congressman from Arizona in 1982, then to the Senate in 1986.
His Vietnam experience made him a powerful advocate against "enhanced interrogation" by the United States, which this country, to its shame, surely participated in. And it created in him a great supporter for veterans. But it also helped make him an unrelenting war hawk, with whom I largely disagreed.
The first time I participated in the ABC Wednesday, in October 2008, it was re: the Keating Five when I wrote about McCain receiving about $112,000 in political contributions from Keating and his associates in 1987, but hesitant about intervening on the financier's behalf in the dealings with the Lincoln Savings and Loan.
That lapse, which he owned up to, led him to be an advocate for campaign finance reform with Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) in legislation now rendered moot by the Supreme Court's Citizen's United ruling.
The Weekly Sift captured the reason why I would have voted for John McCain in the New York Republican primary for President in 2000, had I been eligible to do so, against George W. Bush.
"Presidential politics in New Hampshire traditionally has revolved around the town hall meeting, and McCain was the absolute master of that form. No matter what they're asked, shallow candidates find a way to segue into their canned talking points. But… McCain always answered the questions he was asked. Usually, he did it knowledgeably and articulately while radiating a sense of earnestness tempered by self-deprecating humor."
Then, of course, he blows it by pandering to South Carolina voters over the Confederate flag then hanging over the statehouse. Later that year, he admits he was wrong.
During the Iraq war, John McCain was right about those non-binding resolutions the Democrats tried to pass: it's immoral to continue to, on one hand, fund the war and on the other hand, suggest the war is wrong.
During the 2008 campaign for President, McCain went to Selma, Alabama where on March 7, 1965, peaceful civil rights demonstrators were attacked by state and local lawmen. "I'm aware of the fact that there will be many people who will not vote for me. But I'm going to be the president of all the people and I will work for all of the people and I will listen to all of the people, whether they decide to vote for me or not."
I became sure that John McCain would finally become President that year because of the Clinton/Obama infighting. He had considered then-Senator Joe Lieberman, a hawkish Democrat from Connecticut to be his Vice-President. But once again, to his greatest detriment, he essentially allowed the party to pick the relatively unknown former mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, Sarah Palin.
Frank Schaeffer, a longtime supporter of John McCain, wrote in October 2008 that McCain-Palin rallies were starting to resemble lynch mobs. "If your campaign does not stop equating Sen. Barack Obama with terrorism, questioning his patriotism and portraying Mr. Obama as 'not one of us,' I accuse you of deliberately feeding the most unhinged elements of our society the red meat of hate, and therefore of potentially instigating violence."
Does that sound familiar? No wonder he had to correct that woman during a town hall event.
If not for Palin, or maybe Tina Fey, McCain might have won. Or not. I thought in September 2008: "McCain's self-declared lack of strength in the economic side is problematic. His economic policy, deemed 'incomplete' by the hardly liberal US News makes the rich richer. He declares that fundamentals of the economy are strong even as Wall Street collapses."

In August 2009, McCain noted that the health care debate has been stymied in part because his friend Ted Kennedy (D-MA), the "Lion of the Senate", wasn't able to participate in the debate fully. Kennedy, like McCain, was an "old-time" senator who really DID work "across the aisle."
In 2012, McCain called out the sheer lunacy of Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) when she and four Republican colleagues accused Hillary Clinton's deputy chief of staff Huma Abedin of being circuitously connected to the Muslim Brotherhood. He needed to do that sort of thing more often.
And of course, there were three Republican Senators who voted against the so-called "skinny repeal" of the Affordable Care Act, a/k/a Obamacare, in July 2017. One was John McCain, who made a dramatic return to DC that week after a diagnosis of brain cancer.
In his October 30, 2017 speech to the Naval Academy, he said: "We have to fight against propaganda and crackpot conspiracy theories. We have to fight isolationism, protectionism, and nativism. We have to defeat those who would worsen our divisions. We have to remind our sons and daughters that we became the most powerful nation on earth by tearing down walls, not building them."
In a most divisive time in history, two former presidents, Obama and Bush 43, the guys who kept him out of the Oval Office – have been asked to deliver eulogies at the funeral.
His Farewell Statement, written back in March 2018, showed that John McCain might be the last good Republican.

A Perfect Text? Part II
There have been two times when an editor has spent time and rewritten the rules for spelling, punctuation and capitalization. The first was in 1762 when F.S. Parris published the results of 7 years of collating all existing printings, the Cambridge translator's notes and the new English rules for spelling, punctuation and capitalizations as put forth by such men as Jonathan Swift and Dr. Ben Johnson.
It was done again 7 years later by Benjamin Blaney. Each man utilized a deep understanding of the mechanics of language and of English. Each man spent seven years of study and collating all existing texts before updating the spelling, punctuation and capitalizations. Either man would have had a better grip on the structure of the English language before entering college than just about any graduate of the average little bible institute of today has.
After that there were two times when learned men carefully combed through the work of those two men carefully scrutinizing each word to restore the King James Bible to what that original handwritten manuscript had said but in a modern font and style. The first of those was Scrivener who published the spurious paragraph bible being reprinted today. It was a forerunner to the RV in its attitude towards 1 John 5:7 and introduced a disregard for the importance of a versified bible. Nevertheless Scrivener caught mistakes left in by Parris and by Blaney. He also introduced new ones. He published all of his changes in Appendix C of his Paragraph Bible and is republished today in a book entitled The Authorized Edition Of The English Bible (1611) Its Subsequent Reprints and Modern Representatives .
It took A.W. Pollard to root out Scrivener's mistakes, incorporate his improvements and to give us the text we know today as the Pure Cambridge Text. He left us an account of Scriveners errors in his book entitled Documents of The English Bible. Just who was A.W. Pollard? Pollard first began to make a name for himself in English circles with his editing of old English works such as Chaucer's Prologue and Knight's Tale. His work along with W.W. Greg on the Canterbury Tales for Macmillan Press caused a stir within the literary community of England. (A History of Cambridge University Press Volume Three by David McKitterick page 160)
Pollard was hired by Cambridge University Press to put the AV 1611 back in print after a series of failures. The Paragraph Bible had been a failure and the RV had been a failure. The plates for the Blaney Text had been melted and used for munitions in WWI. Pollard approached the task of the Word of God like he did his earlier collations of all existing Chaucer manuscripts and their subsequent publishing. He was meticulous and exacting. He gathered all the hitherto fore uncollated documents of the English Bible and set about to finally purge all spelling errors, spurious word choices and punctuation and to reset the King James Bible in the format and text we know today. He hired Bruce Rogers to create the font we know today.
What throws modern historians today and misleads them is that in 1929 Cambridge University Press published a pamphlet entitled 300 Years of Printing The Authorized Version of the Holy Bible at Cambridge, 1629-1929. It is a relatively short pamphlet produced by some publicity person or another and it gets the facts wrong. It tells its readers that the text Cambridge is printing is the Scrivener Text. That is wrong. Don't take my word for it,go pull up a Scrivener Paragraph Bible and compare it to your Cambridge Bible. It is not the same text. Go pull up the pamphlet. It's on the web. They were wrong.
The problem with that error is that in 1985 Jerry Hooper of Cambridge University Press wrote a famous letter to Dr. Daniel Harden of Monroe, Michigan in which he informs Dr. Harden that he investigated the "S" of 1John 5:7 and found out that they had been printing it wrong all of these years. He went back and found his mistake. Well, if he had been more diligent he would have seen that the stock history that his institution kept was wrong. Cambridge had not printed the Scrivener text in over a century and when they had it had flopped. Nevertheless gullible American editors wave that letter around and edit at will.

The Capote Tapes - New Release Date and Trailer - 29th January
In the 35 years since his death, Truman Capote has remained a source of curiosity to many. His works, including Breakfast at Tiffany's and In Cold Blood, have maintained their place in the literary canon of great twentieth century American literature and still appeal to readers across the globe today.
Answered Prayers was meant to be Truman Capote's greatest masterpiece, an epic portrait of NYC's glittering jet-set society. Instead, it sparked his downfall. Through never before heard audio archive and interviews with Capote's friends and enemies, this intimate documentary reveals the rise and fall of one America's most iconic writers.
With unprecedented access to access to George Plimpton's taped interviews for his biography, Truman Capote: In Which Various Friends, Enemies, Acquaintances and Detractors Recall His Turbulent Career. The documentary features interviews with Dick Cavett, André Leon Talley, Jay McInerney & Dotson Rader and introduces audiences to Kate Harrington, who the daughter of one of his lovers, John O'Shea, and in which Capote served in a surrogate father role. Previously never disclosing any details before, Kate opens up about living life with Truman Capote during this period, and shines a new light on his character through their close relationship.
The film's director Ebs Burnough has nearly two decades of public and private sector experience. He served as an Advisor to First Lady Michelle Obama during the 2008 U.S. Presidential Campaign as well as, serving as Deputy White House Social Secretary to the President and First Lady during the Obama's first term in the White House. He has also
held a variety of senior level positions in legislative and electoral campaigns on behalf of elected officials and organised labour; including Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York, former Gov. Martin O'Malley of Maryland, U.S. Congressman Jerrold Nadler of New York and The Service Employees International Union (SEIU).
The Capote Tapes will be available at altitude.film and on all digital platforms across the UK and Ireland from 29 January

Blanket prohibitions on off-shore wind will only ensure that Maine does not reap economic benefit from such development
On Monday, May 3, Ben Gilman, general counsel for the Maine State Chamber of Commerce, delivered the following testimony before the Joint Standing Committee on Energy, Utilities and Technology in support of LD 1619, An Act To Establish a Moratorium on Offshore Wind Power Projects in Maine's Territorial Waters, and in opposition to LD 101, An Act To Prohibit Offshore Wind Energy Development.
Senator Lawrence, Representative Berry, and members of the Joint Standing Committee on Energy, Utilities and Technology, my name is Ben Gilman. I am from Gorham, and I represent the Maine State Chamber of Commerce, a statewide business organization made up of both large and small businesses. I am here to provide you with our testimony in support of LD 1619, An Act To Establish a Moratorium on Offshore Wind Power Projects in Maine's Territorial Waters, and in opposition to LD 101, An Act To Prohibit Offshore Wind Energy Development.
The State Chamber is here today to speak in strong opposition to LD 101, which seeks to place a blanket prohibition on a specific industry and to deny Mainers the ability to develop that industry. In the past, the Chamber has opposed such blanket prohibitions on business and economic development, and we do so again now. This wrong-headed bill will not, and cannot, stop development of offshore wind in federal waters. All it can do is ensure that Maine does not participate in this development and reaps no economic benefit from such development. It robs Maine's future and delivers it to Massachusetts, while ensuring that Maine's fishing industry will have little or no input into the federal process.
More importantly, the Chamber is also here today to speak in support of LD 1619. This bill proposes to wisely balance competing uses within Maine's territorial waters in order to sustain traditional and existing uses and the resources and wildlife within those waters while protecting Maine's investment in offshore wind and its present and future opportunities to build a Maine-based industry that will serve development in federal waters within the Gulf of Maine.
We will leave details on both bills to others. Our view is quite simple:
Outright bans on legitimate economic development is extremely poor and self-destructive public policy. It never prevents development of an industry; it only ensures that such development does not benefit our state.
Maine is poised to benefit greatly from off-shore wind development in federal waters in the Gulf of Maine – Maine has the location, the technology, and state leaders and commercial partners prepared to ensure that such development is done in a way that is right for Maine.
The Maine Public Utilities Commission (PUC), under former Chairman Tom Welch, determined seven years ago that the demonstration project at Monhegan would provide "…sufficient economic benefits to Maine in terms of direct and indirect investment, environmental benefits, innovation and development of knowledge base within the state to merit awarding a contract at above market rates."
The Welch commission's determination has been borne out by subsequent developments around the world and by developments along the East Coast from Massachusetts to North Carolina. A sampling of the view of economic development and technical experts on these opportunities includes:
"State-driven offshore wind targets have exceeded 28 GW to date and are expected to result in 41 GW of cumulative installed capacity by end of 2035. Already 9 GW of projects are well on track with offtake agreements, with ongoing solicitations enabling an additional 6 GW to follow by end 2021. The larger this market becomes, the more the supply chain will be established on the East Coast. The rapidly developing economic opportunity will well exceed $100 billion for windfarm development and construction alone (CAPEX), not even accounting for the 30 years of operations and maintenance local economic benefit (OPEX)." [North Carolina Department of Commerce, Building N.C.'s OSW Supply Chain, March 3, 2021]
"…Maine may have 65 gigawatts of [unsubsidized] economic potential by 2027, the highest of any U.S. state." [National Renewable Energy Laboratory, OSW Resource, Cost, and Economic Potential in the State of Maine, February 2018]
"As of Q1 2021, state governments and the private sector have together invested (or pledged to invest) more than $3.5 billion into the U.S. offshore wind market, in the form of strategic project partnerships, port construction, and vessels, as well as research and workforce development initiatives." [Business Network for Offshore Wind, 2021 U.S. Offshore Wind Market Report & Insights]
"Outside of procurements, other states are creating offshore wind tax credit programs and making investments in port infrastructure to increase economic development within their state. Notably, New Jersey with its $100 million offshore wind tax credit program, New York with its $200 million support for port infrastructure, and Connecticut with its $35.5 million investment its port facility in New London, are taking additional steps outside of energy procurements to position themselves for greater economic activity." [Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources, Offshore Wind Study, May 2019]
"In addition to supply chain businesses, offshore wind's economic impact will likely extend to maritime industries, technology and engineering trades, and broader community revitalization efforts in the aging port towns along the New England coast." [Siegner, K., "The Onshore Benefits of Offshore Wind: How Coastal New England Cities Are Harnessing the Power of the Emerging Offshore Wind Industry", Yale School of Forestry & Environmental Studies, May 2019]
"The Departments of Interior (DOI), Energy (DOE), and Commerce (DOC) are announcing a shared goal to deploy 30 gigawatts (GW) of offshore wind in the United States by 2030, while protecting biodiversity and promoting ocean co-use. Meeting this target will trigger more than $12 billion per year in capital investment in projects on both U.S. coasts, create tens of thousands of good-paying, union jobs, with more than 44,000 workers employed in offshore wind by 2030 and nearly 33,000 additional jobs in communities supported by offshore wind activity. It will also generate enough power to meet the demand of more than 10 million American homes for a year, and avoid 78 million metric tons of CO2 emissions." [FACT SHEET: Biden Administration Jumpstarts Offshore Wind Energy Projects to Create Jobs, The White House, March 29, 2021]
To us, there can be no debate. Offshore wind is coming to the East Coast. Offshore wind is coming to the Gulf of Maine. Offshore wind will either provide good jobs for Maine residents and opportunities for an entire supply chain in Maine … or, it will all still happen, but with no economic benefits for Maine. This is why we ask this committee to reject LD 101 and to pass LD 1619.
In the words of Chairman Tom Welch, first spoken at deliberations in 2014, but captured for all time in a Commission Order:
Finally, there is an unquantifiable, but nevertheless important, economic value associated with establishing Maine on the forefront of offshore wind development. This Project is the kind of investment contemplated by the Ocean Energy Act as the foundation for building a strong offshore wind industry in Maine. In addition, projects such as this establish Maine as a center for cutting edge development of this emerging technology and may capture the imagination and generate excitement among a new generation of talented professionals attracted to Maine. Retaining this young talent in Maine could only have a positive effect on Maine's demographic and economic future.
We urge this committee to share Chairman Welch's vision of the future and lay the groundwork for a brand-new Maine industry.
If you have any questions, please contact Ben Gilman by calling (207) 623-4568, ext. 108, or by emailing bgilman@mainechamber.org.
Thanks for sharing this useful information! Hope that you will continue with the kind of stuff you are doing.

Why Is Minnesota Called the North Star State?
Rebecca Mecomber
Woman holding a book
The state nickname for the state of Minnesota is the "North Star State." This is the English translation and most frequently used translation for the official French L'Etoile du Nord that appears on other Minnesota state emblems — the seal and the state flag. Minnesota is the only U.S. state to have a motto in French. While the reason for this is not clearly known, most historians speculate that the choice of the French language is a deferential nod to the early French explorers, missionaries and traders who settled the wilds of Minnesota before the region became a territory and a U.S. state. The "North Star State" motto refers to Minnesota as the northernmost state in the United States.
Minnesota sits north of all the contiguous U.S. states, its right border extending toward the Great Lake Superior. Native American tribes populated the land until the arrival of traders and missionaries from France and explorers from England in the 1600s. After the American War for Independence, a portion of the territory was incorporated into the United States of America. Minnesota became the 32nd state to join the United States in 1858.
As a new, official state of the Union, a state seal was required for the signing and notarizing of government documents and bills. Governor Henry Sibley designed the new seal, originally engraving a Latin phrase: Quae sursum volo videre, or "I want to see above." Due to an error during the engraving process, the Latin phrase was altered to read Quo sursum velo videre, a nonsensical phrase that loosely translated, meant "I cover to see above." The Minnesota Legislature, not willing to officialize an erroneous state seal, rejected the motto. Governor Sibley recreated the phrase, choosing French as the preferred language. L'Etoile du Nord, or the "North Star State" was passed and adopted by the Minnesota Legislature in 1861.
The state seal and flag are rich with significant state symbols that draw out the history of Minnesota and the meaning of the state motto. A shoeless farmer tills the fertile Minnesota land near the banks of the Mississippi River. A Native America rides a pony toward the setting sun. L'Etoile du Nord floats on a golden banner above the scene. The state flag reflects the scene of the seal but is also surrounded by 19 stars, representing Minnesota as the 19th state in the Union. The largest, topmost star on the flag stands for the L'Etoile du Nord, or North Star, as the official "North Star State."

@spotiche5- First of all, you need to write down all of the different nicknames of each state beside each state's name. This will provide a visual cue for learning.
Next, write down a unique reason for each nickname, and why it is fitting. This will help you nephew make the association of each state and its nickname so it will stimulate his memory when he takes his test.
Finally, test him verbally on each state's nickname by asking him to name them. Over time, he will learn them. Seeing them, learning the reasons behind the nicknames, and being quizzed on them before his test will be helpful in leaving a lasting imprint on his memory.

I'm trying to help my nephew learn about state nicknames, including that of his home state of Minnesota. After reading this article, I got some good ideas for helping him remember his own state's motto, such as its location in the north part of the country.
I'm looking for some ideas to help my nephew remember the nicknames of other states. He will have to know them for a test, so it's important that he learn them.


Inspired by Greek goddess Theia – mother of the sun, the moon, and the dawn – the Theia lamp creates a poetic play between light and shadow. Designed by Mathias Hahn for Marset, this floor lamp has an innovative design. The fixture features two separate semi-spheres that swivel on a central axis. The metal shade has an opaque surface and rotates on a vertical plane, while the transparent shade with a smoked finish swivels horizontally. Together, they can change the brightness of the light, offering a convenient way to enhance or to soften the light. More than just a sophisticated floor lamp, Theia is a dynamic sculpture that celebrates the beauty and the power of light.

the musings of JJ Elliott: writer, copy editor, music geek, nerd, & kicking depression in the arse one day at a time
Posted on December 5, 2015 January 10, 2016 by jjremone
JJ's Top 40 Albums of 2015
The weather suggests otherwise, but December has arrived. That means every music magazine, website and blog has started to unveil their year end "best of" lists. Being a man of impeccable taste in music, it would be a shame for me to not throw my name in the hat and let the world know what has perked my ears the last 12 months. So here we go. I hope you enjoy.
When Nina Gordon and Louise Post decided to bury the hatchet and reunite the original lineup of Veruca Salt and release their comeback single "It's Holy" in 2014 I was instantly transported back to 1994. That power pop gem held up against anything on American Thighs and Eight Arms To Hold You, but would a new album be worth more than a couple listens for old times' sake? Well, apparently you really can't fight the seether because Ghost Notes is a triumphant return for the band. The album documents the band's breakup and eventual reconciliation, ranging from raging bitterness to joyful, celebratory bliss. Nina and Louise are back and the world is better for it.
YQR ex-pat Northcote (or as his parents know him, Matt Goud) followed up 2013's stunning self-titled album with the even more impressive Hope is Made of Steel. With his trademark soulful, raspy voice, Northcote writes tunes with big hooks and massive choruses that stick in your head for days. This album is the perfect pick-me-up after a shitty day. "Your Rock and Roll" is my pick for song of the year.
After laying relatively low for a couple years, Metric returned in a big way with the brilliant Pagans in Vegas. For this go around Emily Haines and the gang turned down the guitars and relied more on synths and some video game blips and bloops for a sound straight out of the '80s, but still contemporary. The band already has a more stripped down album in the can so we can expect to hear a lot more from Metric in the next year or so. I'm very okay with that.
I'm not sure how it happened, but I'm late to the Chvrches party. There was lots of buzz about them when their debut album The Bones of What You Believe came out in 2013 but I never got around to giving it a listen until earlier this year. Needless to say, the buzz was well deserved. Lauren Mayberry and company make electronic pop music the right way – with huge hooks and intelligent lyrics. With the release of their second album Every Open Eye this Scottish band once again brings the goods. The '80s are alive and well with Chvrches.
2015 was a tremendous year for country/roots veterans Steve Earle and Dwight Yoakam. Coming off a divorce, Earle decided to tone down the politics and just let loose with the fun, blues album Terraplane with The Dukes. With Second Hand Heart, Yoakam amped up the rock and rockabilly aspects of his sound for a killer collection of tunes. As these two legends show, sometimes you just need to stop overthinking things and have a bit of fun. The result is two of the year's best albums.
If there's one thing you can say about Ryan Adams, he isn't a slacker. His self-titled album was one of 2014's best albums, plus he released a live album just a few months after that. And this year he decided to cover Taylor Swift's cultural juggernaut 1989 album from start to finish, because why not? Say what you will about Swift, but she (and her team of pop mega-producers) knows how to write a catchy tune. With his reinterpretation, Adams shakes off all the gloss (see what I did there?) and reimagines the songs as performed by Bruce Springsteen, The Smiths, and U2. What should have been a "listen once out of curiosity sake and then go on with your day" album ended up being a contender for album of the year. Who knew that if you dropped the "hella good hair" and "sick beat" that "Shake It Off" was a good tune?
Regina's own indie pop rockers Rah Rah keep amping up their game with each successive album, and now they're playing in the big leagues with Vessels. People are taking notice because they've made high profile appearances on CBC's q and The Strombo Show while also embarking on a world tour. Marshall Burns and company added more synths to the mix for a power pop extravaganza. "Chip Off the Heart" and "Be Your Man" are two of the years best singles.
If there's one person who can give Ryan Adams a run for his money for being prolific this year it's Jesse Malin. After keeping a low profile since the release of Love It To Life in 2010, the former D Generation frontman released two stellar albums, New York Before the War and Outsiders. New York is his big "statement" album while Outsiders is a little more loose and rough around the edges, but both are worth repeated listens. If both Joey Ramone and Bruce Springsteen have given him kudos over the years then he must be doing something right.
Roots/country singer Lindi Ortega can do no wrong. She keeps pumping out consistently fantastic albums at an impressive rate while touring like crazy. I don't know how she does it but I don't think she's recorded a bad tune. With Faded Gloryville, Ortega seems to have come to terms with the fact that her old school brand of country will likely never vault her into the mainstream. But if she keeps releasing music this good, she'll have loyal, appreciative fans buying her albums and going to her shows for years to come. In a perfect world, Lindi Ortega would rule country radio.
Well, that's the rundown. Now, without further ado, here are my 40 favourite albums of 2015.

ENIGMA2 OS & ANDROID TV OS!!!
For a minute i thought my adblock failed but see your a new sponsor,so welcome onboard,as with many new boxes are there any new you tube videos done for people to see a working box?Looks like a good backup of support with those names listed above.
I've had one a couple of months now. Loads better since the Android update.
Runs well now and new firmware coming out regularly from different groups.
I've just checked the forum sponsor, seems a lot of box for a small price? - was expecting it to be £250+ but it's about half that, what did you pay?
I think it was about £135 but I expect they might have gone down a bit now.
they might wanna make these things easier for older people, seriously, not just because a few old people want to set them up but because of the fact that the majority of under 30's can't even put a plug on an iron and 90% of these things are going to be bought and set up by the elderly for the snowflakes to use because if they didn't get their dads / uncles / grandads to set them up, they'd have no choice but to pay full price for everything.
Speed of the video aside its a nice looking piece of kit. Enigma 2 and Android under the hood sounds like a awesome prospect to me.
Or part 1 in android and part 2 in enigma2?
What i meant was 1 longer version in part 1 in android.
Other version would cover part 2 for enigma2.
does this Dinobot have Widevine DRM? (i.e. can you watch Netflix/Amazon Prime in 4k).
Thanks is that just Netflix? Or does that also work Prime 4K?

Bill Kendrick's Atari Relics
Welcome to my Atari 8-bit computer software relics. This is an archive of some of the more interesting or amusing bits of software I wrote as a kid — between 1986 (when I got a floppy disk drive for my 11th birthday) and 1997 (when I was 22, just before graduating from college and becoming busy with real life and day jobs). Almost none of this was previously released, and much of it is unfinished.
Learn more about this archive & the author.
2014-01-18 - After a short hiatus, I've uploaded more disks. (Most of what's left that I feel is even barely worth uploading is digitized graphics.) Two of the disks (11 and 59) contain Minarets and Memories, my epic attempt at digitizing a chunk of a music video back in 1993. The other two (7 and 35) contain an assortment of mostly Atari BASIC games from 1989 and 1990, including reasonably playable attempts at Connect 4, Othello and Checkers, an utterly incomplete and barely playable homage to the children's cartoon "Count Duckula", and more.
2013-09-14 - Photos of some of the programs from disks 15 and 45 have finally been uploaded.
2013-09-09 - I've added two more disks, 15 and 45, with content from 1987 to 1994. It includes some of my oldest games with user-defined character sets (like Balloon Pop! and Bombsplash) From later years, thanks to TurboBASIC XL, another set of alarm-clock screensavers, and a text-mode windowing system. (Also, I've split up a few of this archive's categories.)
2013-09-03 - You can now browse by the development status (finished, unfinished, or unknown).
2013-09-02 #2 - I broke the "games" category into a number of subcategory (e.g., "games-sports" vs "games-rpg"). Also, some of the "Browse by" lists now show how many items are currently in each group.
2013-09-02 #1 - After going through another half-dozen physical floppies, I've assembled two more disks-worth of files: 9 & 22. They include, among other things, another (bad) attempt at Super Mario Bros., a jigsaw puzzle, a few more attempts at sports games (boxing, ice hockey, skiing, sky&nbs;diving, soccer, and weight lifting), and ports or clones of games from other platforms ("Gates", based on an Apple II game, and "Garbage", ported from a Timex Sinclair 1000 book of type-in games).
2013-09-01 - I've added another disk's worth of programs, 47, including Geometric Drawing Language (which even has a converter to Atari BASIC), and my attempt at cloning Imagic's Atari 2600 game "Dragonfire", "Crown Quest".
Also, I added a "browse by disk" option, as well as the ability to sort the lists of programs on the various browse-by pages (by title, year, status, or language).
2013-08-31 - Welcome! I've posted a few disks' worth of my relic programs: 6, 8, 37, 43, 54. I need to improve the summaries and descriptions, and describe the finished/unfinished state of more things, but it's a start!
Among this batch includes a gem: Isolation, a Commodore 64 BASIC game by John Dearden, which I ported to Atari BASIC soon after it was first published in Compute!'s Gazette in May 1990. By the time I got online and spreading my software to BBSes (1991), FTP sites (1992), and eventually my own website (1996), I had forgotten all about it!
Expect more posted soon. I still have 3 dozen 5.25" disks from which I'll be extracting relics!

Delaney Reynolds shared her work on climate change with her peers at TEDx Miami. She is among those reconized with a new award Monday.
An inaugural awards program from National Geographic Student Expeditions honors youth for service to their communities.
A new awards program honors teens who are making a difference in their world.
Two of three young adults taking home prizes from the National Geographic Student Expeditions Inaugural Teen Service Award are dedicated to mitigating climate change, while the grand prize winner is tackling literacy in low-income areas.
In recognition of her work, National Geographic's Kids Books will also be donating 300 children's books to Alexa's organization.
If you are interested in joining Alexa on her quest to increase literacy rates, you can email her to receive more information about running a Bag of Books collection in your area.
Reynolds' work, which includes illustrating and publishing three environmentally focused children's books and presenting lectures to a total of nearly 35,000 people, has culminated in a project geared towards educating and engaging her generation to help solve the climate crisis.
If you would like to get involved with the Sink or Swim Project, you can sign up to receive her blog or follow her on social media.
Also named as a contest runner-up is 18-year-old Kaimana Idica, from Wailuka, Hawaii. Idica will also be receiving a $500 college scholarship for his contributions towards educating the public about the impact of single-use plastic waste on the environment—and eco-friendly alternatives. For the past three years, Idica has been involved in everything from beach cleanups to creating films and giving presentations at high schools, in order to give back to his community and become part of the solution.
In the future, he sees himself continuing his work with organizations such as the Maui Huliau Foundation and the Ocean Friendly Restaurants Hawaii Campaign, as well as pursuing a degree in multimedia cinema and environmental studies at Hawaii Pacific University.
Idica encourages everyone to use the power of their voice to enact change, regardless of their age.

What about it? Didn't it seal behind us?
We don't know how much support the Prince is giving Cryostoria.
Even with your sealing of the top floor with the fire system, we don't know how long that will delay them, either.
We have to seal this exit. If anything, to give us the most time to escape, and for them to not know what happened to us.
The three of us have been charging magical energy all day so far, to prepare for charging your crystal.
We can use that magic saved up for something similar.
With powerful enough magic, and someone knowing how, you can combine it into a new spell that does something extraordinary. That's what the basis of us charging up to begin with was for.
Razza, Arntta. Are you two ready?
FITTZ cast ELEMENTAL BEAM: NATURE.
RAZZA cast ELEMENTAL BEAM: WATER.
ARNTTA cast ELEMENTAL BEAM: FIRE.
THE MAGIC combined into TRI-BEAM!

L'Aréna McConnell  est une patinoire de hockey sur glace située au bout de la rue University, au nord de l'avenue des Pins, à l'arrière du Stade Percival-Molson sur le versant du mont Royal dans l'arrondissement Ville-Marie à Montréal, au Québec. L'aréna est détenu et exploité par l'Université McGill. L'Aréna McConnell est le domicile des équipes de hockey des Redbirds de McGill et des Martlets de McGill .

Histoire

L'aréna est construit en 1956 grâce à une donation philanthropique de John Wilson McConnell, un homme d'affaires montréalais. Le bâtiment est rénové en 2000 pour un coût total de $ 4 millions. Les travaux de rénovation sont sous la direction de l'architecte montréalais Brian Burrows.

Description

La surface de la glace respecte la norme nord-américaine: 61 mètres de long par 26 mètres de largeur. L'aréna contient 7 vestiaires pour les joueurs, une salle de musculation, des bureaux et une clinique de thérapie physique et de physiothérapie.. Un service de cantine est offert dans le hall d'entrée.

À l'origine près de  supporteurs pouvaient avoir accès à l'aréna. Des loges ont été ajoutées en 2004, haussant la capacité à  supporteurs
