Oh, So That's the New Argument to Bring Back Mask Mandates
By Matt Vespa | Townhall.com

Dr. Anthony Fauci's reign of terror is finally ending next month when that demented little elf finally retires, leaving an ugly legacy of distrust, science fiction, and outright lies. Fauci has been one of the go-to experts on infectious diseases, but COVID has imbrued what was once considered a sterling record of public service. Fauci and his cronies have done more to erode the public trust in our institutions, and it was all over a virus with a 99.8 percent survival rate. They treated this as a super Ebola pandemic. None of the doomsday projections regarding the death rate came true, and their containment protocols were based on shoddy data or outright falsehoods. And they're responsible for the appalling regression in math and reading scores as these medical fascists shut down schools, triggering a secondary mental health crisis among teenagers that has yet to reach its peak.
Now, these same people want to bring back mask mandates and social distancing over concerns about so-called long COVID, that's government-speak for we want to control you again (via NY Post):
Masks and social distancing should be mandated or encouraged in public to protect people from possible "long COVID", according to a new report commissioned by the Department of Health and Human Services.
The report by the independent research agency Coforma, published Monday, was based in part on interviews with more than 60 people — including patients dealing with lingering COVID-19 symptoms, as well as their caregivers and health care providers.
The recommendations included establishing public policies that purportedly protect "everyone from long COVID" – including the reinstatement of a mask mandate.
According to the document, jurisdictions dropping mask mandates some two years into the pandemic has made life difficult for those struggling with long COVID.
At a presser this week, Fauci continues pushing the vaccine, a settled issue. Those who wish to get the shot have already done so, while the skeptics have not been jabbed. Medical professionals like Fauci have yet to realize that most of the country has tuned them out. We've moved on as a society, enjoying life with COVID as it's now endemic like cold/flu season. You're not going to boost the vaccination rates anymore, folks. And we sure as hell are not going back to mask mandates and social distancing.
A Reader's Comments:
Once more with feeling. An N95/K95 or surgical mask is designed to stop 95% of particulate and/or mist droplets larger than 0.3µm. No matter how well fitted to the wearer's face, even if it was glued to the skin around the edges, it cannot stop a roughly spherical virus that's 0.1µm~0.12µm in size. It's like dropping large olives, large acorns or shooter marbles through a chain link fence. They * Sail * Right * Through. The reason surgeons and their teams, doctors and nurses suturing or dressing open wounds wear masks is to prevent them from exhaling/spraying droplets of saliva into said open wound or incision. They are NOT worn to prevent either medical staff or patients from transmitting or contracting any disease.
It's meaningless Virtue Gesticulation Kabuki played out on the public stage to reinforce to the weak that they must obey our kind and benevolent, totalitarian government apparatchiks.
WaPo: The Vaccinated Now Account for a Majority of COVID Deaths
By Jim Hoft | Gateway Pundit
Posted with Permission by Techno Fog
There's a remarkable concession appearing in The Washington Post today:
"a majority of Americans dying from the coronavirus received at least the primary series of the vaccine."
The latest data shows that 58% of COVID-19 deaths in August 2022 were from people who were vaccinated or boosted. Based on past figures and the current trends, we can reasonably estimate that the number of vaccinated/boosted COVID-19 deaths will only rise. (In September 2021, the vaccinated accounted for 23% of COVID-19 deaths; in January/February 2022, the vaccinated were 42%.)
This is what happens when you rush ineffective and dangerous vaccines.
The FDA's promises of efficacy – 91% for the Pfizer vaccine and 93% for the Moderna vaccine – were always based on hope, not data. So too were the promises of safety. At the time of the official approvals, both Pfizer and Moderna hadn't submitted any type of long-term numbers on effectiveness. Their trials were polluted with the unblinding of participants and their safety studies are "ongoing."
Now, we're seeing efficacy numbers plummet within months of vaccination. The pandemic is of the vaccinated. The boosters? They're to the benefit of the medical establishment and the pharmaceutical companies, as they mask the true problems with the two-shot vaccines.
Even with these numbers, the outgoing Anthony Fauci continues to vouch for the jab, stating the data "overwhelmingly show the effectiveness of vaccines."
This is the same man who demanded school closures, inserted himself into the 2020 election by criticizing Trump's COVID-19 response while complimenting China, and criticized Governor Ron DeSantis for reopening Florida's schools.
All the while, Fauci was lying to the public about COVID-19 origins. In May of 2020, he told National Geographic that COVID-19 "could not have been artificially or deliberately manipulated."
What he didn't tell us was that he and US government clients were sabotaging and shutting down research and fact finding into the lab leak theory. What he didn't say was that internal communications among himself and Francis Collins and Jeremy Farrar, revealed through a FOIA request by Jimmy Tobias, discussed "accidental lab passage in animals" and how the Wuhan lab was the "Wild West" and why the lab leak was a serious possibility.
Maybe we'll get the truth once Republicans take power. Fauci has promised cooperation but be assured he'll continue to be the slippery little doctor. Then there's the lawsuit against the Biden Administration where Fauci is being deposed. It's a bit more difficult to evade questions from seasoned attorneys who have you for eight hours.

storage space or areas of food preparation in kitchens. While many types of countertops are made of durable materials and have protective seals, consistent use can still cause minor surface damage including scratches, stains, gouges, and burns. These blemishes will take away from the appearance of the countertops and in turn diminish the look of the entire room. Companies that provide bathtub refinishing and repair services also offer countertop refinishing services to repair minor surface damage and restore the countertop's original appearance. Replacing countertops is an expensive and intrusive process which makes countertop refinishing a reasonable and more inexpensive alternative.
The countertop refinishing services offered by professionals are safe and effective for many types of laminate and natural stone countertops. The first step of this process is to repair the damage to the surface which may include scratches, gouges, burns, and stains. Once the surface damage is repaired, a low maintenance, semi-gloss topcoat is applied to the countertop to restore its original appearance. Some companies may offer different color options for their semi-gloss topcoats to change the look of the countertop.
Replacing countertops, whether in a kitchen or bathroom, can be an expensive project and the work required to replace countertops is intrusive to your home and may take weeks to complete. Countertop refinishing provides a much less expensive alternative to full replacement as the cost for this service is about 30-50 percent less on average. The process of countertop refinishing is also much less intrusive then countertop replacement with no major construction required to complete the job and it takes much less time as refinished countertops are ready for use between 24 and 36 hours after completing the job. The final benefit of countertop refinishing is that it can extend the life of your current countertop by 10 to 15 years.
If the countertops in your kitchen or bathroom have minor surface damage or are showing signs of wear and tear, they can be revitalized with countertop refinishing services. Countertop refinishing is an inexpensive and effective alternative to countertop replacement that can be completed much quicker with less hassle and interruption to daily life in your home. Talk to a bathtub refinishing professional in your area that provides countertop refinishing services to learn more.


Most kindergartners are comfortable with rote counting to 100. In this interactive lesson, students get to practice working with the numerals that represent these numbers.
For this lesson, you will need the book, Penguin Count Off included as a PDF with this lesson. I print the book on a colored printer and laminate the book for durability. You can bind it with a comb binder, book rings or just staple the pages together.
I gather the students around my chair and I ask them if they recognize the animal that is on the front of the book. The students tell me the animal is a penguin (We recently learned about penguins). I say to the students, We are going to read this story, it is called Penguin Count Off. Let's make a prediction about what we think this book might be about. Turn and talk to a neighbor about your prediction. The students visit with each other about what the book might be about. When they are done discussing, I ask a few students to share their predictions with the class. I hear predictions about penguins learning how to count and also about counting how many penguins. I then say to the students, Let's read our story to find out if any of our predictions are correct.
Page 1: My name is Professor Feather. I study birds. I want to know how many penguins are in a rookery that my researchers found. I discuss with the students the vocabulary of researchers, rookery and professors.
Page 2: The birds are hard to count because they are all huddled together. My researchers said we need to organize them to count them. We discuss what it means to "organize".
Page 3: What if we made 100 squares? We could put a penguin in each square. They would be easier to count that way.
Page 4: So the researchers started putting the penguins in the squares.
Page 5: Yeah!! All done. Can you count how many penguins there are? I invite the students to count with me as I point to each penguin.
Page 6: Wow!! That's a lot of penguins. They are all organized and neat in their fancy feathers.
Page 7: Oops! Make that 100 penguins!! Speech Bubble: Hey!! What's happening? The students are very excited as this disheveled penguin looks like one of their favorite book characters, Tacky the Penguin.
For this portion of the lesson, I use the Hundred Chart Smartboard Lesson SmartBoard file. If you have a different type of interactive whiteboard, you can still use this lesson by opening the file in Smart Notebook Express. There is also a PDF you can use to recreate this part of the lesson.
I can find numbers on a hundreds chart.
I can tell a friend how to find a number on a hundreds chart.
Slide 2: This is a hundred chart. It has the numbers from 1-100 on it.
Slide 3: What do you notice about each row of numbers? We talk about how the number in tens place is the same all the way across the row and the number in the ones place increases by ones, just like we were counting by ones. The student bring up other observations about the chart, how the number in the tens place increases going down a column, etc.
Slide 4: Let's try finding some numbers on the chart. Give students numbers to find on the chart. When they touch the number, it will flip. I have them find about five numbers on each chart.
Slide 5: Continue as above.
Slide 6: It's is now time for Turn and Talk. Turn and Talk allows my students to practice their academic language. This is helps my English Language Learners increase their English proficiency.
Every student has a Turn and Talk partner. We have a routine where they hold hands with their partner, so I know they are all partnered up. I then ask the students, I want to tell a friend how to find the number fifty-six on the hundred chart. What do I tell her?
The students turn toward their partners and begin discussing. When the students are done, I invite a student to share with the class. The student tells the class that to find 56 you find the row that has the fives in the front and then look for the number with the 6 at the back. I restate what the student says, using place value vocabulary. I say, That's right, if I want to find the number 56, I look for the row that has 5 in the tens place. Then I follow along the row until I find the six in the ones place.
For this part of the lesson, you will need the Fill in the Hundred Chart included as PDF with the lesson. I print four sets and laminate them so I have one set per table. Trim around the outside of the first four pages and then tape them together on the back so the pieces make a hundred chart. I then cut apart the individual pieces that are on the last page and place them in a zipper bag for storage.
I place one of the hundred charts in the center of each table. I give the students the bag of numbers and have them each take five numbers (adjust this based on the number of students you have at each table). I tell the students, We are going to work to fill in a hundred chart. I want you to look at your number, say the name of your number and then place it on the hundred chart. I will check your work when you are all done.
The students begin to place the numbers on the chart and I circulate around the room to check their work. I find that the students are having a bit of difficulty with saying the names of a few of the numbers. I ask them to have their friend at their table assist them.
When the students are done, I have them count to 100 pointing to each number before picking up the pieces on the chart. We then get ready for independent practice.
For independent practice, you will need Penguin Cover Up. Print penguin cards (2 sets 0-9) per group of students and cut them out. Print one recording sheet per student.
I partner the students up. I tell the students, "We are going to play a game to practice our numbers to 100. To play the came, you will take turns drawing two cards. Lay the two cards next to each other and say the number. Then find that on the hundred chart and color it in."
"If I draw a 3 and a 2 and put the cards next to each other, that makes the number 32. I color that number on the chart. Now, I am going to switch the numbers around. If I put the 2 first and then the 3, what number would that be? That right! It's 23. I need to color that number in on the chart too."
I explain to the students, "Sometimes you might draw a zero. If I draw a 4 and a 0, what number would I color in? That's right, I would color in 40. Now when I switch them around, I have a zero and 4. What number is that?" The students are perplexed. I explain to them that would be the number 4. I color the number 4 in on the chart.
The students begin the game. See video. It is fun to see how quickly the students figure out that they do not want to draw two of the same numbers. They realize they only get to color in one number.
The students continue playing for about ten minutes. At the end of the time, I ask them to count up the number of squares that were colored in to determine the winner.
I collect the penguins and they take their recording sheet home. I tell them that it would be great number practice for them to take the chart home and have family members give them numbers to color in.


'Without wanting to legislate for the minute details of attire, we encourage every Catholic to reconsider how he or she dresses for the Sunday Eucharist.' – Archbishop ChiaArchbishop Nicholas Chia has sent a document to all priests on the topic of dressing in church.
"Rather than proposing a 'dress code'," said the archbishop in an accompanying letter, the document "aims at giving a description of the spirit conducive to worship, providing a welcoming note, and avoiding any prohibitive language".
In his letter, dated June 25, he urged priests to remove "without delay" all "prohibitive posters … since they give the impression of the Church being unwelcoming".
Lately there has been much discussion about what is appropriate dressing for Mass.
This statement is not comprehensive and aims purely to put the right spirit into the sometimes acrimonious discussions that have unfortunately infected what should be a level headed discourse.
The Catholic Church is a universal Church embracing all peoples, cultures and nations. The Catholic community is an inclusive and welcoming community, loving God and neighbour, and striving to offer God fitting worship at what is our most precious gift from Our Lord, the Sunday Eucharist.
Recent episodes make a timely reminder for us to reexamine our approach to how to dress appropriately for an event that is central to our Christian life; the Sunday Eucharist.
How we choose to dress may express our own understanding and values about how we approach the Eucharist.
How we dress also affects those around us as we belong to a community and worship as a community, and there is a level of decorum that is expected of everyone who would like to participate at such great a mystery that has been handed down to us as a lasting heritage of the Christian faith.
We live in a society of diverse religious beliefs and we also observe favourably how people of other faiths dress and behave when they are in their places of worship. This corporate behaviour is uplifting to the observer and encourages one to recognise the respect that they accord to their worship.
Without wanting to legislate for the minute details of attire at our Sunday worship, we encourage every Catholic to reconsider how he or she dresses for the Sunday Eucharist.
Let the sole criteria be that it is our response to being present at a sacred celebration where Our Lord is present; nourishing and sustaining us at the table of the Word and the table of the Eucharist.
May we enter into worship with our hearts and minds fully engaged in this moment of adoration with our fellow brothers and sisters.

College Substance Abuse and Violence - Yeardley Love Murder
Yeardley Love carried into the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen for her funeral this weekend in Baltimore. (AP Photo)
If you have been following along you probably have noticed we have been talking a lot about college substance abuse. The questions at hand have to do with whether or not parents have the right to know what kind of trouble their children are getting into while away at school. The other aspect of concern has to do with whether local officials should report to the college which students have been arrested and for what; this aspect has become especially important after Yeardley Love was murdered on the University of Virginia campus by a student who had been arrested in the past. This is often the case when something tragic happens, countless parents around the country want to know why it happened and how it was allowed to happen? Hindsight is always twenty/twenty!
According to the Richmond Times Dispatch, "Perhaps, if the University of Virginia had been notified that murder suspect George Huguely was arrested in Lexington, Love might still be alive; Huguely might have had to meet with the dean of students, he probably would have faced mandatory substance-abuse counseling or referral to a U.Va. judiciary committee, said school spokeswoman Carol Wood." The article continues, "Top U.Va. officials claim that they were not made aware of Huguely's arrest in late 2008; Huguely, reportedly threatened the life of a Lexington police patrolwoman when he was drunk. He pleaded guilty to charges of being drunk in public and resisting arrest, he received: a suspended 60-day sentence, was fined $100, had to perform community service, and attend a substance-abuse program."
University of Virginia President, John T. Casteen III says that there is a lot of concern about violence towards women at the University of Virginia. Huguely had never been reported to the Dean of Students, Allen Groves, for disciplinary problems and Love did not report any physical abuse or other concerns about Huguely to the university. Is it possible that Love hid any abuse that she endured? "We're going to press very hard that women who have been victims of abuse . . . will be more rigorously encouraged to report quickly and to the right person", Casteen said. So the only indicator that Huguely might be dangerous was a death threat made to a female officer that was never reported to the school.
We can never say for sure what might have happened to Love if policy required police departments to report when students are in trouble, I am not sure it is fair to Yeardley to do so. Out of her death, perhaps, countless lives will be saved because communication lines will be open from here on out. The Washington Post reported that eight of the 41 players on the men's lacrosse team, including Huguely, have been charged with alcohol-related offenses during their college careers. President Casteen stated that school leaders from the U of Va. plan to speak with Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell about passing a law that would require police departments to notify universities when a student is arrested.

Cockfosters is now a suburb of North London, lying partly in the London Borough of Enfield and partly in the London Borough of Barnet. The counties of Hertfordshire and Middlesex are still used in postal addresses because Cockfosters was located in these counties up to 1965. The name of Cockfosters has been recorded as far back as 1524, and is thought to be either the name of a once local family, or that of a house which stood on Enfield Chase. One hteory is that the name was derived from the fact that it "the residence of the chief forester). Cockfosters has a lovely country park area that is known as Trent Park, a great place for a day out with the family and a picnic in the warmer months. ACE Garage Doors have fitted a lot of garage doors in and around the Cockfosters area over the years. We have many very satisfied customers.

Ring of Honor is bringing back the ROH Pure Championship in April where the new champion will be determine via a tournament. The first night will take place in Columbus, Ohio, and the second will be in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Entrants have yet to be announce.
The title was first created in 2004 and then unified with the ROH World Championship in 2006 after Bryan Danielson (Daniel Bryan) ended Nigel McGuinness' record 350-day reign. Other champions to hold the title: AJ Styles, Dough Williams, John Walters, Jay Lethal, and Samoa Joe.
Below is Ring of Honor's full announcement:
Ring of Honor is bringing back the Pure Championship!

Tickets for both Pure Excellence shows go on sale Wednesday, Feb. 5 at 10 a.m. ET for HonorClub members and Friday, Feb. 7 at 10 a.m. ET for the general public.
The Pure Title was created in 2004. In matches contested under Pure rules, closed-fist punches were illegal, and each competitor was allowed three rope breaks to stop submission holds and pinfalls during the match; after that, pinfalls and submission holds on or under the ropes would be legal.
AJ Styles defeated CM Punk in a tournament final to become the first Pure Champion. The title subsequently was held by stars such as Samoa Joe, Jay Lethal and Nigel McGuinness. In August 2006, then-ROH World Champion Bryan Danielson defeated McGuinness to unify the titles.
New Japan Pro-Wrestling star Will Ospreay created a buzz Twitter recently when he expressed his love for the ROH Pure Championship and said it "would be cool if they brought it back with updated rules."
The official ROH Twitter account replied by asking, "Should we bring it back?" and the response from fans was a resounding yes.

Best Of Luck To UM Linebacker Witt
Posted on July 26, 2012 July 26, 2012 by C. Bello
The story has been a footnote in a few recent UM-themed articles over the past few days, but in reality, it's the one that deserve the most publicity.
As a society we seem to gravitate towards scandal or salacious headlines. So much focus on what's happened at Penn State or even closer to home, the coverage of Ray-Ray Armstrong and Seantrel Henderson regarding recent hot water both got in. Controversy just seems to be in our blood, always piquing our interest, for one reason or another.
Jorge Milian, of the Palm Beach Post, recently spoke with UM head coach Al Golden, where a handful of topics were discussed – from Armstrong and Henderson, to the recent Yahoo! Sports report, where linebacker coach Micheal Barrow stands, as a result, as well as any other players who might've received impermissible benefits.
In the middle of the piece, one sentence stood out – "The career of freshman linebacker Josh Witt at Miami is over before it started because of a medical issue."
When doing some more digging, it appears concussions did in the freshman linebacker before his Miami years officially began. Witt, an early enrollee who has been practicing with the Canes, will never play football again. His dream ended before it even began.
The Cypress Bay linebacker chose Miami over Texas Tech, Wake Forest, West Virginia and Kansas last July and was the twentieth commitment of the 2012 signing class. Witt was listed as a three-star prospect that played quarterback through his sophomore year of high school, before switching to linebacker, full-time, and recording over 100 tackles year one.
Witt was a First-Team All-Broward County selection, All-District 8A and First-Team All-State. His senior season he registered 108 tackles, 14 sacks, eight forced fumbles and two blocked punts.
Witt found his name onto Miami's radar after shining at a Golden Football Camp, where he walked away with Linebacker MVP honors. He quickly received an offer from coaches and committed the next day, ready to be part of the U Family. UM was his dream school since he was young and once he got the offer, it was a no-brainer.
He was said to be a very physical player and productive linebacker that could be extremely disruptive in an opponent's backfield. Witt was also praised for size (6-foot-2, 215 pounds) and athleticism, as well as solid wrap-tackling skills.
As a parent, as well as a former teen-with-a-dream, this story flat-out sucks. No other way to say it.
Witt sounded like the perfect fit for this program. A good character kid, a hard worker, a football mind and someone ready to roll up their sleeves in effort to rebuilding The U's mystique.
Witt is in the prime of his life, is just beginning college and his options are limitless. He can work towards coaching and stay in football, or he could blaze a completely different trail. The world truly is his oyster right now and there's no doubt he will achieve his dreams, regardless.
Still, heartbroken that a kid who dreamed of playing for 'The U' won't get that chance because of health-related issues. Football is a brutal and unfair game.
Best of luck in all you do, Josh.

Sorry to hear this kid will never get his shot at making a name for himself at The U or beyond. Best of luck to him in life.
CaneFanInSC says:
This sucks as I was truly looking forward to seeing this kid play at UM. I had a feeling he was going to be one of the unheralded recruits who turns out to be a stud for the program. Best of luck to him in all of his future endeavors. He's still a CANE for life.
Columbus Cane says:
I'm sorry to hear the sad news about Witt. I hope he goes on to do everything else he has his heart set on, and has great success. I wish him the best, and it's better to take this precaution now than pay down the line. One's health is nothing to mess with, especially the brain.

It seems that seven banks have been cleared to offer them as a solution for borrowers who are in difficulty, but what is a split mortgage and how will it work?
The mortgage is split into a sustainable portion and a warehoused balance.
The balance (warehoused part) at the end of the term would be paid off in one of several ways, by selling the property and clearing the remaining loan, trading down to a smaller property, realising other assets such as pensions or lump sums/inheritence etc. or by agreeing a life interest in the property (which I suspect is a reversionary loan where you stay put and the lenders portion of the loan compounds interest which eventually negates the borrowers stake).
You'll note that the original loan balance is not mentioned, rather they base your repayments on what you can repay, this becomes the 'live mortgage' the rest goes into the magical warehouse. You can see that from 2012 to 2017 some money is paid down (€10,000), no sooner does that happen than €28,000 comes out of the magic warehouse and goes on top, so you struggle to pay in order to get deeper in debt – I'm told there is some genius workings in here but am struggling to find them so far. The next example will break it down further.
The owner of a split mortgage will also have to pay a higher percentage of their net disposable income or NDI towards the loan than the banks would normally underwrite – in other words – the banks agree that you can pay 40% of your disposable income towards a loan if you already owe them it, but damned if they would lend to you on that basis.
Now onto a working example, in the report they have a 'happily ever after' scenario, and then the more realistic one, I'll deal with the latter, bear with me, this is some boring $h1t but it's important.
So Mr. or Mrs. Borrower is €80,000 underwater, and assuming there is 2% growth in prices every year then in 30 years they can hope to have a place worth €217,000. Their existing 200k loan is broken down into two parts, as mentioned the €123k affordable part then €77 is hived off to the magic warehouse.
As before, in year 1-5 your loan decreases by €10,000 but don't forget the happy warehouse is there compounding against you all the while, while you pay off 10k it manages to make you worse off by €21,000! Now you have gone from owing €200,000 to €211,000 in return for sacrificing a higher percentage of your disposable income. You earn a little more in year 5 and presto, you are gonna pay out more!
The €70,000 is now back in the warehouse (and remember: you always want compounding working with you not against you!) and it turns into €226,000 by year 30.
At which point you can happily sell your house because you don't own it and even avail of a €9,000 loss for the pleasure of it. Perhaps I am reading too much into Islamic finance of late and identifying with their founding premise of 'risk sharing', but where is the pain in this for the bank? Granted, they have some assets that they can't realise and must provision against, but it isn't really the same as 'losing' the way the borrower does.
This idea is stupid, plain and simple, it is stacked in favour of the lenders, that is why 7 of them have already signed up to it; a classic 'delay and pray' manoeuvre and the only way it would make any sense to use would be if interest were discounted or waived on the warehoused portion, otherwise it makes better sense to just go bang and have a personal insolvency agreement under the new legislation.
Why go bang instead? Well, you get to start again with no claim on future income the way this one does which could create potential losses 30 years away, if you have a home you simply can't bear to leave then that might sway it, but for your average borrower in trouble this is a 'solution' but only for one side of the debt party.
Mortgage arrears: Should the state and banks accept liability?
Property Prices: More transparency needed?
Millions of people in India are in a similar if more drastic arrangement,whole lives in Hoc to moneylenders. Only pay the original capital sum back. Let the institutions pay interest on their own greed.
My view is that all assets available to the borrowers' should be drawn on in order to service the personal mortgage debts – pensions, shares… etc. legislation changes would be needed to facilitate access to these.
If there is an outstanding figure when these assets are drawn in that is beyond what the property is reasonably worth, then portions of this debt amount should be either written off to reduce the repayments to 33% of current income over the borrowers' time left to retirement date.
Borrowers in mortgage arrears should enter retirement date at least mortgage free. The persons' use this remaining asset (i.e, the property asset) to fund their remaining year of retirement.
It's will not be equal system across all situations as years to retirement will differ in each case. And there would need to be some consideration for the overall value of the property and area built in to balance things out – down grading to a cheaper property may be necessary requirement at the change over point.
Bring in legislation to curtail property ownership to maximum of 2 houses. System to regulate and inspect properties under management.
Legislate for the licensing of home purchasing – like a drivers licence. 1st licence free, second one at a minimum rate and punitive rates on any additional licences requested thereafter. These to be displayed in each home, like a drivers licence with contact details of owners of the licensed property.
When all this is done.
Let the market forces work… For Jases Sake, Central Bank, Nama… get out of the way of ordinary people and small business that rely on the disposable income of local people.
How about a tax break on mortgage repayments?
Think about it, a scheme where you could pay directly out of your gross pay (like the Taxsaver Rail tickets)at a reduced tax rate, say half of the income tax level that would be applied, would encourage people to pay off their mortgages much faster and at no extra cost to themsleves.
This would also help a lot of those who are struggling, because they could opt to service their mortgage at the same level, but the tax difference will mean they have the extra money to spend on other items. The VAT receipts on these goods would probably help offset the cost to the Exchequer too. You could also scrap the Mortgage Interest Relief subsidy.
The Bank will also get their cash back quicker, so I doubt they'll be complaining, even get them to pay an extra 5% on the excess to help shoulder the burden! The reduction of the loan books much faster than expected, not to mention the amount of defaults they will avoid as a result, will help re-stabilize them at a faster pace too. They may even be able to increase their lending again.
The ultimate benefit though will be to the economy, as the housing market will recover much faster, returning us to an equilibrium infinitely faster.
Of course, I doubt there is the political will to move forward with such a win win plan.
Excellent explanation of the Split Mortgages.
Who is the guy that thought this up? Can we see him before we run him out of town? He probably got paid 'big bucks' as well for writing the answer to the Bank's problems. Why don't the Government employ Karl Deeter to come up with equitable choices?
Well done Karl, nice simple explanation, unfortunately, without a brains led democracy, rather than a parish pump and primary school led one, you will be writing with utter incredulity for the rest of your life at the machinations of our CEO's (ie Ireland Inc) ( qualification to run a multibillion euro enterprise, 3 years post qualification experience teaching recently potty trained 5 year olds).
A win – win for the banks.
The man on the ground is still paying for the banks inefficiency and irresponsible lending.
Did 'experts' really sit down to figure this out?
I agree with the above comments, now havent said that a lot of people are living in Never land. I"ve over heard a few people talking about Debt forgiveness, and only think they will walk away from the bank keep the house they can no longer pay for? If That was to be true happy days I"ll gladly take my P45 tomorrow!
Nice to see people voting for a straight write down on all loans. Reward those who took risks. Reward the larger developers more so. Punish those who saw a problem and maintained a normal financial balance.
The day that ever comes to pass is the day I leave the country.
The issue behind almost every solution using term extensions is really about the capital repayment, putting a loan on interest only is the same as giving a person a 1,000 year term, if no capital is being repaid then the term is perpetual. This is a real 'cake and eat it' scenario for lenders given that the alternative is to crystalize the loss – the only thing against it is the idea of somebody losing their home, but do the maths, you could be worse off in 30 years time anyway!
That is a fantastically clear explanation of how split mortgages work (or don't).
It highlights the premise that, as usual, you get nothing for nothing and the 7 banks have latched onto it.
It is disgraceful that the Government do not have the proper financial advice to see right through this "deferred" scam and have indeed advocated it's use.
Is this yet another example of the cosy cartels working behind the scenes?
I think the repayment period of mortgages should where necessary be extended to whatever period is reasonably necessary.
There should be flexibility in allowing moneys in pension funds be used be set to off against unsustainable mortgages-maybe some kind of self administered pension fund for the individual.
None of these things will happen because the powers that be are only interested in maintaining an unsustainable public service.
how do i see comments??

Blue Jay – Enzian Theater
There will be a post-film Skype Q&A with Mark Duplass after the Saturday 6:30PM screening!
Jim and Amanda are former high-school sweethearts who reunite unexpectedly in the sleepy California mountain town where they grew up, and grew apart. Twenty years on, each has taken a markedly different path in life — he works odd construction jobs in Tuscon and "hasn't got it all figured out"; she's married to an older man, a reluctant step-mom who never wanted kids. But the old sparks still burn strong. One coffee in the local diner turns to a day (and night) spent wandering through the past, where the middle-aged "famous lovebirds" relive the joy and pain that brought them together and sent them reeling into separate futures. Starring Mark Duplass ("Togetherness," THE ONE I LOVE) and Sarah Paulson ("American Horror Story," "The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story"), BLUE JAY is a beautifully orchestrated (and photographed) romantic drama from directorcinematographer Alex Lehmann and writer-producer Duplass that looks back wistfully and wisely at the big what if: Could your high-school sweetheart be your one true love?
USA, 2016, In English, 82 minutes, In Black & White, Directed by Alex Lehmann
This film will be preceded by Pickle, the 2016 Florida Film Festival Grand Jury Award-Winner for Best Documentary Short

The official Power Rangers twitter page has updated with the reveal for the 26th season of Saban's Power Rangers. The 26th season is confirmed as Power Rangers Beast Morphers, which will be the adaptation of Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters. The news was first revealed at this year's New York Toy Fair. For those who are unaware, Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters is the 36th season of Super Sentai that aired in Japan on February 26, 2012- February 10, 2013. Power Rangers Beast Morphers will air in 2019 proceeding the end of Power Rangers Ninja Super Steel.
Seeing as the season was previously skipped in favor of Dino Charge, I think it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Blake Shelton Is a Nick Jonas Stan in New 'The Voice' Promo [Watch]
Blake Shelton, Nick Jonas stan? The country star is a secret superfan of the youngest Jonas Brothers member in a new promo for Season 18 of The Voice.
In the new ad, Shelton tries to play it cool as his fellow returning coaches, John Legend and Kelly Clarkson, chat with Shelton about Jonas, who is joining The Voice as its fourth coach for Season 18.
"Nick, who?" Shelton replies when Legend asks if the singer has said hello to their new castmate yet. "I'm not pumped because I don't know who this is. I don't know who this guy is," he tells Clarkson when she shares her excitement about Jonas joining the cast.
It's all a ruse, though: As it turns out, Shelton's hiding a room packed full of Jonas Brothers merch, including a "Stay Calm & Dream of Nick Jonas" sign, a framed T-shirt and more. "Okay, maybe I've heard of him," Shelton admits as a lifesize cardboard cutout of Jonas falls into view.
It's then, naturally, that the real-life Jonas walks up to Clarkson, Legend and Shelton, leaving Shelton utterly starstruck. He manages to squeak out a timid "Hi" as his fellow coaches stare at him in confusion.
"I'm so excited to be a part of The Voice family," said Jonas when his hiring was announced in the fall (quote via People). "It's such an awesome group of individuals, and I can't wait to help these artists really build and hone in to find their unique voices."
Season 18 of The Voice will premiere on Feb. 24 at 8PM ET on NBC. Bebe Rexha is joining Shelton's team as an advisor for the season.

Vision therapy is a type of physical therapy for the eyes and brain. It is a highly effective non-surgical treatment for many common visual problems such as lazy eye, crossed eyes, double vision, convergence insufficiency and some reading and learning disabilities. Many patients who have been told, "it's too late," or "you'll have to learn to live with it" have benefited from vision therapy.
In the case of learning disabilities, vision therapy is specifically directed toward resolving visual problems which interfere with reading, learning and educational instruction. Optometrists do not claim that vision therapy is a direct treatment for learning disabilities.

They were formerly known as UPPs (United Parents and Professionals) for DownS, although they changed their name a few years ago to become more easily accessible.
They offer periodic mini-conferences on issues pertaining to Down syndrome, send out a newsletter, and also sponsor social events for their membership.
Began in 1973 as Down's Parents of Memphis. A small group of parents met while attending the first Early Intervention Program in Memphis at the Child Development Center. They began meeting to learn more about Down syndrome and to work to improve public awareness, while providing the most current care for their children. This group of parents went on to begin the early intervention program now known as Special Kids & Families.
Down Syndrome Association of Middle Tennessee (DSAMT) is the definitive resource in Middle Tennessee for accurate andup-to-date information on Down syndrome and a community resource for self-advocates and their families, educators anddisability professionals.
The Down Syndrome Awareness Group of East Tennessee (DSAG), a volunteer-led 501(c)(3) organization, is a parent-initiated organization developed to provide information and support to families of individuals with Down syndrome (DS) and to raise awareness within the community about the abilities of individuals with DS and the benefits of their inclusion into society.
Our vision is to enhance the quality of life for people with Down syndrome and to increase knowledge and acceptance in the community.
IDSC for Life is dedicated to serving individuals with Down syndrome from conception throughout their lives. We will achieve this by supporting families who have been given a prenatal diagnosis of Down syndrome. We direct families to accurate and up-to-date information about Down syndrome. We extend our heartfelt compassion, and hope and healing to parents who who were pressured to terminate, and ended their pregnancy because of a Down syndrome diagnosis and later regret that decision.
The Arc Tennessee advocates for the rights and full participation of all people with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities. Through our family-based network of members and chapters, we support and empower individuals and families; connect and inform individuals and families; improve support and service systems; influence public policy; increase public awareness; and inspire inclusive communities.


This year marks the 25th anniversary of Do the Right Thing, which seems pretty appropriate considering all the craziness that's happening down in Ferguson, Missouri right now. Well, director Spike Lee decided to team up with Beats Music (the headphones company) for a 22-minute documentary short looking back at the influential, racially charged film from 1989. It's both sad and amazing that Lee's film still holds cultural relevance in 2014, but rather than getting too serious, the documentary tours the locations with Lee himself, joined by Danny Aiello, the man who played Sal, who's pizzeria is now gone in real-life too. Watch below!
As you can see, production designer Wynn Thomas also joins Lee and Aiello to talk about the settings where they shot on Stuyvesant Ave. between Lexington and Quincy Ave. Then the documentary shifts to a block party that Lee hosted a couple months ago with guest like Dave Chappelle and Wesley Snipes in attendance, not to mention a performance from Public Enemy. But honestly, we would have watched even more footage of Lee reminiscing about the making of his poignant social commentary from 1989, especially with the kind of chatter he gets going with Danny Aiello. A rewatch of Do the Right Thing is surely in order.
Lee as a director is fair, but Lee as a person is a jackass.
Fantastic, so much emo memories attached to this film...great to see Chapelle and Snipes in there as well...Fight the power.
Man wish I was there. Looks so fun!

When tax-free salaries count as aid
By Kate Wheen
March 27, 2008 — 11.00am
A major review of the $3 billion Australian aid program, the first of its kind ever conducted, was tabled in Parliament last Thursday at 4.30pm, one hour before most of Canberra departed for the four-day long weekend.
If it weren't for the 11th hour timing, the Australian aid agency AusAID would have got a big tick for transparency. It's not often a government department lays itself open to public scrutiny in this way.
There also seems to be a genuine commitment to using the review to make much needed improvements, as well as increase public awareness about Australian aid. This is a great step. However, the review still makes for some sobering reading about where changes need to be made to improve the quality of Australian aid.
One very serious finding in the review is that 50 per cent of Australia's aid consists of "technical assistance", where aid money funds large, often tax-free salaries for Australian consultants and companies to advise local governments and service providers. The disgraced former AWB chairman Trevor Flugge and his million-dollar AusAID consultancy in Iraq is a case in point. This model feeds a corporate aid industry centred on 10 or so large Australian companies, and will not deliver genuine improvements to the lives of the communities that need aid.
A lack of public awareness about how aid works has for a long time seen much of the aid program captured by a very narrow set of ideas about development. Influential think tanks such as the Centre for Independent Studies and the Institute for Public Affairs, which are outwardly and explicitly sceptical of aid spending in general, fought for an unbalanced focus on economic growth in the aid program during the tenure of the past government.
Their ranks were joined after the Bali bombings in 2002 by another group of influential strategic policy commentators, who saw development through the prism of securing the region against terrorism and other insalubrious activity.
The review released last Thursday gives a good indication of what can happen over a five-year period when this narrow group of stakeholders have too much influence. The review states that while some good results have been achieved in "establishing security and financial stability" in the Pacific region, the aid program is not getting sustainable results in health, education, livelihoods and gender equality programs.
In the Solomon Islands the figures speak for themselves. The RAMSI intervention - which is specifically focused on security and financial stability and where a proportion of the funds are actually contracted to the Packer family company GRM International - receives $128.5 million in this year's aid budget. The rest of the Solomon Islands' aid program - health, education, livelihoods, water, sanitation, gender empowerment (that's right, absolutely everything else) - shares $95.4 million.
If you don't adequately fund key sectors such as health and education, with the objective of building equitable societies over the long term with local ownership of development, then things go backwards. Maternal health is one example where a decade of neglect is producing some scary statistics in the Pacific, even while Papua New Guinea and the Solomons record positive growth rates.
To its credit, the Rudd Government is thus far making the right moves: mending relations with PNG and the Pacific, delivering an urgent and much needed increase to the aid budget and making a much needed commitment to improving access to public education and public health. However, if it is going to be truly successful it needs to address some powerful vested interests that handicap the aid program as it stands.
Getting the most from our growing aid budget is the challenge. The "aid sceptics" will no doubt be firing off missives about how this report vindicates their position that aid does not work. What the review really reveals it that this attitude is part of the problem, not the solution, because it sees aid funds wasted on skewed priorities that do not recognise the full dynamics of social development.
In the end this is not about charity. This is about justice, and every aid dollar counts if Australia is to make a long-term and adequately funded commitment to improve the rights of those women, men and children less fortunate than ourselves in our region.

John Wick Franchise At Worldwide Box Office: When Keanu Reeves REVAMPED His Glory With This Neo-Noir Action Series
Following the success of the first instalment, the franchise just got bigger with each part.
Keanu Reeves is amongst the most popular actors globally. Just like his films, the actor is well known for his humble off-screen persona. And such qualities are enough to make him a fan favourite.
Keanu Reeves made his big-screen debut with 1986's Youngblood but he got his first lead role in 1988 with Permanent Record. The film was a big flop commercially. But over the years, he has been part of several successful films like Speed, The Matrix franchise and many more. But today, we'll be talking about his highly popular John Wick's commercial success.
After 2008's The Day the Earth Stood Still, Keanu Reeves was struggling to bag a decent commercial success. Finally, in the form of 2014's John Wick, the 55-year-old packed a punch and got his touch back at the box office. Following the success of the first instalment, the franchise just got bigger with each part.

It's a little known fact these days where Mother's Day actually came from, but dating back to the 16th century, domestic servants were given the day off to return to their 'mother' church for a service as part of the Lent calendar. It has evolved over the years into what we now celebrate as Mother's Day, when we give thanks to our own mothers.
Q. What makes a good Mother's Day for you?
A good Mother's Day for me is making sure my mother knows how much I love her and how much she is appreciated, and to spend it together. As I always say to my children, you only have one mother!
Q. What do you enjoy about being a mum? Being a mummy is the greatest gift of all.
As a mother you feel love for your child like you have never felt before. My children are my life, each one bringing their own uniqueness to my life. One of the greatest words in the English dictionary is 'family'.
Q. Why do mums need treating on Mother's Day?
It's not so much about the day. I love to read my card with words written from the heart. It's not about the money or cost, it's about the thought. And for working mums, it can be a fine balance, so why not celebrate together?
Q. What three qualities would you like to instill in your own children?
I try to instill respect, loyalty and confidence. If they have these qualities, then I know they will grow as people in life.
Grassington House will be hosting a special Sunday lunch on Mother's Day, which is a three-course menu, including Goosnargh duck and Pateley ham terrine for starters and Grassington House 14-hour roast Pateley beef rump.
Price is £24.50 per person, with a special gift for mothers.

Q: Is it a bad idea to capture all click events in a single global event handler? I have a project with hundreds of click events attached to various html items.  I would much prefer to have a single handler attached to the body tag, that uses switch/case on the target id to determine what function to run. Compatibility for modern versions of Chrome, Safari and Firefox, and IE10+
Simplified example:
function clickHandler(e)
  {
  var T=e.target,eT=e.type;
  if(eT=="click")
    {
    switch(T.id)
      {
      case "hH": doStuff();break;
      case "hF": doDifferentStuff();break;
      case ... etc
      }
    }

document.body.onclick=clickHandler;

I have begun to implement this and I find it improves readability and maintainability but before I go too far, I want to know if there are some major disadvantages or reasons why this paradigm isn't more commonly used.  For example will a switch/case with hundreds of cases be a huge performance drag?

A: There are disadvantages for places where you'd like to stop propagation of events. For example, a typical way of implementing a modal is to stop propagation of clicks on the modal, but then attach an event listener to document, whose role is to close the modal. If you only ever place events on body (or one element), this will be impossible. I can think of other cases where this inflexibility will become a hindrance, too.
Also, it will be difficult to implement it perfectly, for example, consider this markup...
<button type="button" id="click">Click me</button>

When the user clicks, the target element will be the span (most probably). This means when it propagates to body, you won't have the id attribute to match. You could ascend ancestor elements looking for the id, but then that's more work.
Of course, for this example, you could place the id on the span, but hopefully the point I'm trying to make is clear.

Doors open at Glasgow's first net zero office
The Cadworks sustainable office development in Glasgow city centre launched yesterday having been completed to coincide with COP26.
Olympic cyclist Jack Carlin launches Cadworks
Investor and developer FORE Partnership has already let part of the building to UK law firm TLT.
The 94,000 sq. ft. Grade A office on Cadogan Street features the city's first cycle-in access ramp, extensive facilities for the growing number of Glasgow cyclists, and has the city's first private fleet of Swifty Scooters for tenants to use free.
Cadworks was officially opened by Lord Provost Philip Braat, with special guest local Olympic cycling champion, Jack Carlin. Jack was interviewed on his successful cycling career by children from nearby Oakgrove Primary School, with lunch by social enterprise Social Bite.
Cadworks is the city's first office building that is net zero carbon in operation, an achievement made possible through extensive innovations in building materials, on-site electricity generation via solar panels, and high efficiency all-electric heating and cooling systems. Rated BREEAM Excellent and EPC A, the building uses no fossil fuels and 100% of waste will be diverted from landfill.
The building is also the first Glasgow office development to use a pioneering paint, Airlite, that removes greenhouse gases from the air and has been proven to kill 99% of viruses. This has helped the building receive a Gold AirScore accreditation for its excellent indoor air quality. The high-tech specification includes the city's best digital infrastructure and Cadworks has been rated 'Platinum' by WiredScore.
Cadworks was designed by architects Cooper Cromar and built by contractor Bowmer + Kirkland, who delivered innovative building techniques, many of which have not been used before in the city such as concrete containing no cement.
With Glasgow just having hosted COP26, the impact of the built environment on climate change remains top of mind. Cities account for more than 70% of greenhouse gas emissions, and buildings are the single largest contributor to the climate crisis. Through projects like Cadworks, FORE is driving much needed innovation in the built environment. The firm has joined the UN's 'Race to Zero' and made an industry-leading commitment for all of its properties to achieve net zero by 2025.
Cadworks features an 'urban village hall' which will host events with occupiers joining local community groups and social enterprises. FORE, a certified B Corporation, plans for a 'conservation corner' that will provide a legacy of COP, showcasing the challenges of climate change and innovations that can help.
The launch event celebrated the work of three local social enterprises that have partnered with Cadworks during the build, with FORE matching all of their guests' donations to Refuweegee, Social Bite, and SoulRiders.
FORE Partnership's managing partner, Basil Demeroutis, said: "We set out to change the Glasgow property market by building office space that is as wholly sustainable as it is world-class and we are delighted to have delivered Scotland's greenest office space.
"But our vision is never simply restricted to bricks and mortar – our ethos is to drive system change and be a catalyst for positive change where we invest, whether by working with grassroots organisations or larger social enterprises that make an enormous difference to people in each city. In Cadworks, we have brought our vision for the future of real estate to life and have already welcomed TLT, who share our goal of carefully stewarding our increasingly fragile environment. As we launch Cadworks today, I hope that it acts as a catalyst for transformation not only of buildings, but also of business more generally."
John Paul Sheridan, partner and Scotland location head for TLT, said: "Cadworks' sustainable office design, alongside its vision of the wider positive social impact developments like this can have, is an approach that sits well alongside our own priorities for our people, our planet and our communities.
"Cadworks provides the perfect place for us to create TLT's first concept office to help shape our working environment nationally and allows us to create a space that reflects our new flexible working approach with employee wellness and client collaboration at its heart."
Cadworks is located on Cadogan Street in Glasgow city centre, minutes from Central Station. The building is being let by Savills, Ryden, and Avison Young.


Après de brillantes études au Conservatoire de Marseille, Christian Gaubert cultive très tôt son éclectisme en montant un trio et un big band de jazz puis en mettant ses qualités de compositeur, arrangeur, chef d'orchestre au service des grands noms de la chanson (Aznavour, Bécaud, Mort Shuman, Croisille, etc...) et surtout en travaillant pour le 7ème art (plus de 140 partitions). Au cours de sa carrière il fait appel à de nombreux musiciens (Marc Chantereau, Pierre Alain Dahan, Richard Galliano, Daniel Humair, Jean-Jacques Milteau, Guy Pedersen, Jean-Luc Ponty, Jean Schulteis). D'une affinité particulière avec André Ceccarelli et Jannick Top est né le premier album « Ligne Sud Trio » avec pour invité Thomas Savy.
Pour ce nouvel album, Christian Gaubert a orienté sa composition vers une forme rythmique inspirée de traditions éthniques (bulgares, turques ou arméniennes), l'univers harmonique demeurant contemporain. Le trio a fait appel aux deux solistes exceptionnels, aguerris à cette forme d'éclectisme dans le jazz, que sont Thomas Savy aux saxophones et Christophe Leloil à la trompette.
Tune in to the tasteful stylings of guitarist Will Bernard on his latest effort "Out & About." Employing a wide palette of genres and sounds, this gifted instrumentalist makes a bold statement of purpose with both his stunning musicianship and his new program of original compositions. Bernard's melodicism shines throughout the session with able assistance of some of the heaviest cats on the scene today, including the collective genius of bassist Ben Allison, organist Brian Charette, drummer Allison Miller, and tenor saxophone sensation John Ellis. While the session is definitely straight ahead and features some hard swinging highlights, the music is also elegantly lyrical and brilliantly evocative of a more modern jazz sensibility.
Empirical has become one of Europe's top jazz ensembles by creating a bracing sound rife with roiling emotion. The quartet builds on the extroverted improvisational ethos of the 1960s New Thing, embracing oblique harmonies, translucent textures and jagged, quick shifting rhythms. Featuring Nathaniel Facey (alto saxophone), Shaney Forbes (drums), Lewis Wright (vibraphone) and Tom Farmer (bass), Connection is the fifth Empirical album, the first to feature only the quartet with no guests, and the first released outside of their home base of England. It captures the ensemble at its most pure and potent.
Following the release of its eponymous debut album in 2007, Empirical quickly established itself as a creatively charged crew unafraid to explore jazz's wild and wooly left field. They threw down the gauntlet with their acclaimed second album, 2009's Out 'n' In, which offered a highly personal salute to Eric Dolphy.
In many ways Connection is a similarly bold statement, a program of original music that unfolds with the kind of intuitive narrative momentum generated by a great set.
After the release of the band's third album Elements of Truth, Empirical won the inaugural Golubovich Jazz Scholars fellowship at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. The residency at the prestigious conservatory led to the band's collaboration with the all-women string ensemble Benyounes Quartet, who were featured on Empirical's fourth album Tabula Rasa. The ambitious, often spiritually-tinged project featured some of the band's most beautiful and complex writing. Following that satisfying musical detour, it's no surprise that Connection finds the quartet getting back to basics. Recorded after a week-long run at Foyles Bookshop London, the album captures the raw energy, brash ideas, and volatile group sound that Empirical has built upon the vast territory opened by jazz's mid-1960s explorers.
Recorded at RAK Studios, London, February 4–5, 2015.
Mastered by Pete Beckmann at Technology Works Mastering.
Additional production by Simon Hendry for Class 6 Productions.
All compositions published by Metropolis Music.
