Home<New York Area<New Jersey Transit<Raritan Valley Line<Bound Brook
Bound Brook is a Raritan Valley Line station located at what is a junction of three railways, just south of the Raritan Valley Line (the ex-CNJ) is the Conrail Mainline Lehigh Line. This line is used by frequently by CSX and Norfolk Southern Freight used by trains mainly to access the various yards and ports in Jersey. It's this same line the Raritan Valley Line uses to reach Newark via the Aldene Connection when it transitions onto it where the lines cross again east of Cranford. The railroads main lines don't actually cross at the station but the freight tracks are parallel and just south of the New Jersey Transit tracks. The CNJ passenger station clearly at one time had more tracks judging from how far away from the 1913 station buildings are from the actual platforms. Today there are just two remaining passenger tracks with two low-level side platforms with a long fence going between them. These platforms just end and drop-off onto the ballast into the mess of four mainline railroad tracks plus the yard tracks that surround the station. Seems like a prime place for trespassers. All station access is from the northside, meaning all Newark-bound passengers must use the one underpass to access that platform.
The main 1913 station house is a single story brick building along the Raritan-bound platform. It is no longer in railway use but houses Mama Rosina's Italian Restaurant set back from Main Street that provides all access to the station. The parking lot in front the station is reserved for restaurant patrons. This parking lot and tiny plaza is named Van Horn Plaza, dedicated to Colonel James H. Van Horn 1881 to 1974 for "his efforts to preserve trees, plantings and beauty in the plaza." Railroad parking is in a series of three lots west of the depot with about 270 total spaces between Main Street and the train tracks. In the middle of these lots (quite far away from the depot) is a tall, modern tower sign with purple supports. The sign only has the station's name on one side and is askew from the top of the tower. The sign looks like its about to fall off. Streetside of the depot, up three steps from the street is a wide canopied porch held up by black support beams. This porch is connected to the depot and the portion in front of the depot is fenced around and used as outdoor trainside seating. The Raritan-bound platform is just above this depot. Access is from each end of the depot up three more steps or one of two short ramps up at each end. The platform is a simple bare strip of concrete with signs and no amenities although there are some benches beneath the porches.
Access to the Newark-bound platform is via an underpass. This underpass is accessed from two staircases, one beneath the canopy on the west side of the main depot, the other from the plaza just in front. It is in this plaza where the TVMs are inside a shelter just before the underpass entrance. It has arched ceilings and simple white walls. 1913 is etched in the concrete as a cornerstone. At the opposite end two staircases up to Newark-bound platform area. These are in a wide canopy shelter to the west of a boarded up brick building that looks like a slightly smaller and abandoned version of the Depot turned Italian Restaurant across the street. A low, black original-looking fence separates passengers from Conrail's Lehigh Line. Along the platform is a secondary siding freight track. The actual Newark-bound platform is about two track width's away. Passengers use one of two concrete walkways across to a very simple platform along a track, directly parallel (with a fence) from the Raritan-bound track. This platform has no amenities except for a few benches (there a few more under the nice, wide canopy from odd middle of the rail yard former station house) and a single white domed bus shelter at the western end of the platform.

Turkey has a population of nearly 80 million. Located between Europe and Asia, the nation is made up of desert, Mediterranean, and mountainous regions and climates. The daily per-capita food energy consumption is a high 3,480 kc, ranking 15th in the world, behind Germany and ahead of Norway.
Agricultural production in Turkey focuses on cereals, fruit and vegetable crops.The most important food crops are tomatoes, olives, grapes, wheat, sugar beet, barley, potato, maize and apple. The agriculture and food sector in Turkey accounts for 10-15% of gross national income and employs nearly 30% of the country's working population. Turkey, therefore, relies heavily on the success of agriculture within its own borders, both for a strong economy and food security.
While Turkey very clearly relies on its own resources to ensure food for its population, like all other countries, Turkey also relies on agricultural imports. Among the notable imports are cotton, wheat and soybeans. Still, 32-43% of the food energy consumed in Turkey comes from crops that are not native to region. Both a growing population and an agricultural dependent economy, increase the importance of the genetic resources used to improve agriculture.
Ensuring that notable imports such as wheat are able to adapt to the challenges that agriculture faces today and tomorrow is of the utmost importance, not only to Turkey, but also the world.
Turkey ratified the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA) in 2007, joining 134 other contracting parties in commitment to the global system.

Access Is The New Civil Right
Packed Oklahoma Gubernatorial Race Fueled by Political Turmoil of Teacher Walkouts, Diverging Views on Education Priorities
by The Black Wall Street Times June 25, 2018
By Kate Stringer
Oklahoma's election year is bursting at the seams with contenders, with 794 candidates filing for public office in April, more than two dozen of whom are teachers. The candidate pool is the largest in at least 20 years.
That massive group races toward a June 26 primary, and the state's top seat is up for grabs. In the hotly contested gubernatorial election, a runoff election is expected in August on the crowded Republican side, until one candidate receives at least 50 percent of the vote.
Although none of those teachers sit among the leaders in Oklahoma's gubernatorial race, educators are having a banner election year, as education has risen to the top of candidate platforms and has received far more airtime than in recent history.
Oklahoma's nine-day teacher walkout in April — part of a national movement of teacher strikes — has made for a tense political landscape this year. The protest finally ended when lawmakers in the red state signed offon legislation to increase taxes for school funding and teacher pay. This drew fury from both sides. Teachers continued their strike, saying the funds were too little, while conservatives said lawmakers who increased taxes should be booted out of office.
All of this has put a spotlight on how the five leading gubernatorial candidates address education in their campaigns. The Tulsa World made its GOP primary endorsement based on the candidate who it believed had the least repulsive response to the teacher strikes — Republican Mick Cornett, a former Oklahoma City mayor. Democratic candidate Drew Edmondson leads his education platform with a pledge to pay teachers more. Republican candidate Lt. Gov. Todd Lamb released a 30-second advertisement declaring a plan that "cuts waste" while promising reforms.
A News On 6/News 9 poll found that the front-runners on the Republican side include Lamb with 23 percent, Cornett with 20 percent, and businessman Kevin Stitt with 14 percent. (Ten Republican candidates pack this primary, though the others barely make a dent in the polls).
On the Democratic side, former Oklahoma attorney general Edmondson leads with a much larger margin of 44 percent, followed by recently retired state Sen. Connie Johnson at 14 percent.
Republicans control the governor's office and the legislature, though the state is no stranger to Democratic governors — a long string of Democrats led Oklahoma from 1971 to 1995, and again from 2003 to 2011. Oklahomans have a distaste for current Republican governor Mary Fallin, who received a 20 percent approval rating in a recent poll. But those same respondents gave President Donald Trump an 80 percent approval rating.
Especially on the Republican side, candidates must walk a fine line between advocating for more attention paid to education spending and limiting tax spending. They've all learned the lesson of how not to address the recent education funding crisis from Gov. Fallin, who called the striking teachers' demands "like having a teenage kid that wants a better car." She also said she hoped the teachers would say "thank you" after a bill she signed increased teacher pay.
This only added to the striking teachers' fury, culminating in nine days of missed school and a list of demands, many of which remained unmet.
The gubernatorial candidates' carefully worded platforms and interviews may also be influenced by politicians who publicly scorned the teacher walkouts and are now facing contenders in their race for office. Cyndi Ralston, who has been a teacher in Oklahoma for 30 years, is running against current Rep. Kevin McDugle for a House seat, after he said he would vote against all education funding in retaliation to the strikes.
"For years, my profession has been under siege by our legislature," Ralston wrote in a Facebook post that received nearly 6,000 likes and 3,000 shares. "Budget cut after budget cut have forced us to do ever more with ever less, and it cannot continue on this path."
More than two dozen teachers are running for seats in the state legislature. All of Oklahoma's House seats are open, as are half of the Senate seats.
For the past 10 years, Oklahoma lawmakers have faced the challenge of finding sources for state funding amid declining oil revenue. Although this year saw the state's largest budget on record, Oklahoma has a long way to go to make up for the losses from years of cuts, Oklahoma Watch reports.
About 20 percent of schools, many in rural areas, run on four-day school weeks to help with limited costs and to attract teachers. Still, Oklahoma ranks among the worst when it comes to teacher pay, with an average starting salary of $31,000, well below the national average of $38,000. Many teachers are fleeing for neighboring states like Texas where the average starting salary is $9,000 higher. The exodus has resulted in the hiring of thousands of uncertified teachers in Oklahoma.
The state received a D grade in education in 2018 — a 45th-place ranking nationwide — from a national scorecard that factors in early childhood enrollment, student loan debt, high school graduation rates, and math and reading scores.
Here's how the top five candidates plan to address the state of education in Oklahoma:
Mick Cornett, 59, former Oklahoma City mayor, Republican
Recently voted one of the world's 50 greatest leaders by Fortune magazinefor his work creating temporary taxes to fund projects in a conservative city, Cornett is also well known for bringing the NBA to Oklahoma City during his time as mayor.
Cornett is hoping to ride that success from his mayoral term through the primaries. The Tulsa World gave him its GOP endorsement — though with a half-hearted "we could do better" disclaimer — for standing behind a bill that boosted teacher pay.
Cornett was initially against the teachers' strike. "I understand they're desperate at this point. But that is not something I would support. As much as I support teachers, I don't support a strike," he told NewsOK.
But a month later, he seemed to take a different tack, stating that he was glad Gov. Fallin signed the bill to increase teacher salaries and education spending, NewsOK reported.
His platform supports increasing educator pay to the point that Oklahoma can be regionally competitive. He also supports raises for teachers in science, technology, engineering, and math to help with recruitment.
Drew Edmondson, 71, former Oklahoma attorney general, Democrat
Edmondson is once again running for governor after a failure to win the Democratic primary in 2010, after which he declared he would never run for office again.
Edmondson has been one of the most vocal candidates about increasing teacher and support staff pay, leading his education platform with this demand: "Number one — we need to raise pay for our teachers and reduce administrative costs to put money back in classrooms." He added that the state also needs to stop cutting funding for higher education.
He supported the teacher strikes and called out Gov. Fallin for being one of the last people in the state to wake up to the crisis of poor education funding.
Edmondson backs a 7 percent tax on oil and gas to help increase funding for education, as well as an end to capital gains exemptions.
Edmondson also boasts creating a $30 million trust to support education technology during his time as attorney general.
Connie Johnson, 66, former state Senator, Democrat
Johnson has served as a state senator in Oklahoma for 33 years, during which she advocated for reproductive health care and mental health services and campaigned against the death penalty. She was the first woman and African-American to receive a major-party nomination for the U.S. Senate.
She has also been a longtime champion of marijuana legalization — an issue on the June ballot — which she hopes could help her through the primary.
She supports raising teacher salaries to match regional ones, restoring programs that have been cut in schools like Advanced Placement classes and art, making two-year colleges free, and expanding early education programs in Oklahoma.
To manage crippled education budgets, Johnson told the Tulsa World she would "hold schools accountable to fund educational programs based on community needs" as well as end preferential tax cuts.
Todd Lamb, 46, lieutenant governor, Republican
Before serving in the state senate and as lieutenant governor, Lamb worked in the petroleum industry and as a special agent for the U.S. Secret Service.
Lamb's goal for education spending is to dedicate at least 65 percent of budgets to schools and teacher salaries rather than administrative costs, but his platform doesn't make clear specifically which areas of administration he would cut.
He did not support the bill signed by Gov. Fallin to increase teacher salaries "because there are other ways to get there," he told Oklahoma Watch, adding that the overall package earned an "F" for its reform effort.
He also believes in strengthening an old Oklahoma law that, in its original iteration, prevents social promotion in third grade based on reading proficiency. His education platform outlines creating a similar law for third-grade math proficiency.
Kevin Stitt, 45, businessman, Republican
Stitt is framing himself as a political outsider bolstered by business experience that he said will help him address Oklahoma's budget. Stitt founded Gateway Mortgage, a national company with offices in 41 states. That wealth has helped finance his campaign, NewsOK reports, with at least $800,000 of his own money spent as of January.
"It's going to take an outsider to get our state going again," he said during a March speech at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma.
Stitt said during a candidate forum on KOKC radio in April that he would not have signed the bill to increase teacher salaries and education spending, explaining that the funding source — oil — was unsustainable. Instead, his platform seeks to allow districts to use property tax revenue for teacher salaries, revenue that is currently limited to building costs.
His platform also said that he supports raising teacher salaries to match those of neighboring states, and he wants to create temporary $5,000 bonuses to first-time certified Oklahoma teachers to help recruit educators, especially students graduating from Oklahoma colleges.
"We have to restructure some things," he said at a candidate-voter meet-and-greet in April. "We have to make sure we don't have bloat at the administration level and get dollars to the classrooms and the teachers' hands so we can have outcomes that focus on the children."

Green Line News
The public has had significant influence on the project — and can continue to influence it
Starting in 2007, the Community Outreach Coordinators were the first point of contact for members of the public, community organizations and corridor businesses. They were available to answer questions, receive input on the project, and help resolve issues. With the start of revenue operations on June 14, 2014, all calls and questions are being directed to Metro Transit's Customer Service.
Please contact our Customer Service representatives at 612-373-3333 or fill out the online comment form.
Project designers made numerous changes to the line as a result of public suggestions:
Designed an entirely new road surface, sidewalks, curbs and gutters from façade to façade for a uniform look for University Avenue. Retained 10-foot sidewalks in most places. New curbs and gutters addressed concerns about water quality and standing water on the street
Added non-signalized pedestrian crossings to address concerns about pedestrians' ability to cross the street safely and conveniently. The additional pedestrian crossings resulted in the loss of additional on-street parking, and many people said the tradeoff was worth it. Some advocated for even more pedestrian crossings, which would have resulted in greater loss of on-street parking
Added stations at Hamline, Victoria and Western.
Provided a street presence with windows facing the Farmers' Market for the operations and maintenance facility in the Diamond Products building (formerly Gillette Co. factory)
Modified the use of bells and horns east of Union Depot Station in Lowertown due to noise concerns
Relocated track crossovers, where trains make noise moving from one track to another, off of Carleton and Avon on University Avenue so they are away from residential areas and off of Cedar Street away from Minnesota Public Radio studios.
Relocated several traction power substations and signal bungalows to more obscure sites or locations that won't hinder future development
Located Snelling Avenue Station at Snelling instead of at Pascal to accommodate the community's preference and for better bus connections.
Simplified station design to address concerns about safety, security and consistency throughout the corridor for ease of access, wayfinding and reduction of barriers for people with disabilities.
Designed only smooth sidewalk surfaces to address concerns that stamped or patterned concrete makes for a bumpy ride for wheelchair users and hinders people with vision impairments in finding the tactile warning bumps on the curb cuts when they tap the pavement with their canes.
Located the West Bank Station between the Cedar Avenue and 19th Avenue bridges versus a block east of the 19th Avenue bridge to better serve both the university and surrounding communities and to be closer to vertical access points at Cedar and 19th avenues to meet requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act
Held 14 visioning sessions with artists chosen to design station art so the public could tell them about the history and culture of the station areas. Held additional meetings where the artists presented their preliminary design concepts and received feedback. Organized separate station art committees to enlist community members' help in publicizing the meetings at the grassroots level.
People have influenced the design and construction of the METRO Green Line in many different ways:
More than 25,000 people presented ideas at 1,150 public meetings held by project staff since September 2006 in English, Hmong and Somali. The project's community outreach coordinators also spoke Spanish, Hmong and Vietnamese, some French, some Somali and American Sign Language. They compiled public concerns and suggestions and shared them with the engineers, which is how the changes suggested by the public were incorporated into the project. Outreach staffers served as liaisons between the public and contractors during construction to provide project updates and resolve conflicts so the contractors and construction supervisors could focus on their work.
Standing advisory committees met monthly to discuss set agendas for committee members who have closely followed the project for a long time and wanted detailed information.
Open forums and open houses featured "open mic" times to enable area residents to share their concerns publicly and one-on-one with project engineers, and examined preliminary design plans online, at public libraries on the corridor, and by appointment at the Central Corridor Project Office with assistance from staff.
Community meetings were held in locations as diverse as a Hmong dental clinic waiting room, senior housing, Hmong grocery store's gathering room/dance floor, Vietnam Center, churches, college lecture halls and the Metrodome concourse before and during Minnesota Twins and Minnesota Vikings games.
Booths staffed by the project at art fairs, music festivals, ethnic celebrations, the State Fair and other community events, such as Rondo Days, provided opportunities for community members to interact with project staff.
One-on-one meetings between business owners and project staff at business locations enabled business owners to voice their concerns without taking time off to attend a public meeting.
METRO Green Line Project Director Mark Fuhrmann listens to parishioners from two neighboring downtown St. Paul churches explain their concerns about how LRT trains running past their historic churches will affect their worship services. Fuhrmann and Central Corridor LRT Project staff gave a group from Central Presbyterian Church and St. Louis King of France Catholic Church a ride on the Hiawatha LRT line one Sunday morning to Government Plaza Station. They disembarked there so they could experience a light rail train passing by historic buildings, such as City Hall, in downtown Minneapolis.
Then-Construction Manager Chris Weyer (left) leads the project's Business Advisory Council on a tour of the Hiawatha LRT extension project, including the new Minneapolis Multimodal Station, in downtown Minneapolis. Weyer told University Avenue business owners how construction supervisors will be required to accommodate business needs during construction of the METRO Green Line. Weyer also has worked on the METRO Blue Line and Northstar commuter rail projects.

Libya to launch vaccine campaign after shortages
News24, 06 Dec 2018
Libya is set to launch a campaign overseen by the World Health Organisation to vaccinate more than 2.7 million children after months of shortages, the health ministry said on Wednesday. The "national immunisation campaign", organised with the United Nations children fund Unicef, is expected to begin on Saturday, Libya's WHO representative Jaafar Hassan told a press conference.
US accused of 11 civilian deaths in southern Libya
The National, 06 Dec 2018
The US has been accused of killing 11 civilians in an air strike in southern Libya last month that it said was targeted at Al Qaeda militants. A day after the strike, the US military's Africa Command said it "conducted a precision air strike near Al Uwaynat, Libya, November 29, 2018, killing 11 Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb terrorists and destroying three vehicles".
First group of refugees evacuated from new departure facility in Libya
UNHCR, 06 Dec 2018
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, in coordination with Libyan authorities, evacuated 133 refugees from Libya to Niger today after hosting them at a Gathering and Departure Facility (GDF) in Tripoli which opened on Tuesday.
Most evacuees, including 81 women and children, were previously detained in Libya. After securing their release from five detention centres across Libya, including in Tripoli and areas as far as 180 kilometres from the capital, they were sheltered at the GDF until the arrangements for their evacuation were concluded.
15 migrants dead after boat capsizes off Libya: survivors
Fifteen migrants died and 10 others survived 11 days at sea after their boat capsized off the coast of Libya, the Libyan Red Crescent said on Tuesday, citing the survivors. The migrants had set off for Italy from the city of Sabratha, west of Tripoli, but their vessel overturned and they came ashore in Misrata some 270km east of their departure point, said Red Crescent spokesman Baha al-Kawash.
The boat was thought to have been swept away by the current due to bad weather, Kawash told AFP.
Libya to vote on new constitution before February
The Washington Post, 06 Dec 2018
The chairman of Libya's elections commission said Thursday that the beleaguered North African nation will hold a referendum on a new constitution before the end of February.
The announcement by Emad Al-Sayeh signals a small step toward restoring unity and political stability after years of chaos that followed the 2011 uprising. But authorities have yet to agree on a date or mechanism for presidential or parliamentary elections, and the security situation remains volatile.

Eventually I'll buy the XIm Apex and I want to know whether the male to female USB cable can do the same work for me. i mean i'll have two male to female USB cables one for each console, and the apex dongle will be connected to them.
i saw some people complaining about a dead Xim apex that they bought from Flashback store. is it safe to buy now from them or i should need to wait for you, to check it with them?
I bought PS4 not long ago, and recently I noticed a certain problem that I'm not sure what the cause is.
When i'm trying to write somthing on the PS4 OS, the writing window closed automatically every time, in a way that seems like the button is on long press.
and when i'm on game (Uncharted the lost legacy if you want to know) the player there just shooting by himself.
I think that what causes the problem to start happening, is when I use the controller while connected to XIM4. (In the game i mentioned you must use it to crack locks, because it requires more sensibility in the left stick).
And fixing the problem in a temporarily way, is to disconnect everything from the XIM4 device and reconnect again.
that problem didn't happen to me on XBOX One S !
So i want to know if that issue is known or not. and what is the cause for sure?
I don't know why you don't add this game for the XIM4 list.
I saw in some topics here that you had some problems with the original games for the PS3 console. but from my experience there are no problems at all on the Collection version for the PS4.
So why you don't add it?
Another Q i have is why you're not opening a Category "Only" for people to share there settings with others. it will help everybody to set there games right from the beginning.
People often get confused with the settings or compromise on a non-specific setting state that reduce the quality of the experience. and that because they do not have the knowledge or patience to seek the best setting for them.
I don't know about mouses nothing, and certainly not in Xim apex.
And when i saw one of your video tutorials, i saw him with the logitech g502. and users here also recommend it.
but the problem is that i prefer wireless mic. so i found the g602, but when i searched for a comparison, the G502 seemed to be better In performance.
So my Q for those how to understand the requirements of XIM apex. if the G602 meets the requirements of the maximum capability of XIM Apex, or not. and I must buy the G502.
That game is different than other Gears of war games.
And the one that set his setting on the XIM4, set it to be like the other gears of war.
For example in all gears of war (1,2,3,4) the keys UP,DOWN etc. are changing the weapons.
but on judgment it's one key that changing them, and the UP,DOWN etc are for other things like "view current objective". and on the settings of judgment in xim4, the keys UP,DOWN etc still listed as the ones who changing the weapons.
and one problem that it is causing, it's that you can't change the "current objective" key, to any other than "Down" key. and if you'll change it, it will not responed at all.
I did not purchase directly from you because there are no shipments to my country, so I bought the product from Ebay.
And when i did all your instructions to use the product, i have encountered with a problem. the problem was a missing cable of micro-usb (i got one with the product but you need two for using the product) so maybe the person I bought from, took one.
But if not, why you're not giving two cables if it's necessary?

G20: In Brisbane, Belfast, St. Petersburg, Istanbul, Li Zhejiang and Hamburg.
G20, World
We are down to G7 from the G8 largest economies meeting, because of Russia's conflicts with the US and Europe over the Ukraine invasion. The Russian economy has taken a beating with the Ruble's value cut in half because of sanctions imposed by the Western powers and the engineered lowering of oil prices to hurt Russia.
The city of Zhejiang, China, hosted the G20 meeting of the world's top industrialized nations in 2016. This was President Obama's last meeting with the group during which the focus was placed on environmental achievements as well as world trade, and the world refugee crisis.
As the proposed TTP trade agreement with New Zealand, Australia, Vietnam and other Asian and South American nations were being opposed by both U.S. Presidential candidates, and the TTIP proposed U.S.- E.U. trade agreement seems to be failing according to German comments, perhaps being slowed to emerge after election day. A damper was effectively being placed on the main purpose of the G20 meeting.
The U.S. President had private talks with several world leaders involved in difficult situations, including the Turkish President and Russia's Mr. Putin failing to reach agreement on ending the Syrian war! The Russian leader was excluded from the G7 when they met in Bavaria because of Russia's aggression in the Ukraine and Mr. Putin's failure to toe the line on U.S.- E.U. doctrine on world leadership.
In 2015 Forbes Magazine gave Mr. Putin the 'Most Powerful Man In The World Award' for the second year running, over President Obama who was the recipient in previous years. The award is not based on diplomatic achievement but on 'hard power' and on points including Russia's sale of 400 Billion's worth of oil to China, which will require pipeline construction between the two nations. The award also reflected President Obama's low popularity ratings at home and his parties loss of control in both houses in the U.S. Congress.
In earlier meeting's the main goal of raising the worlds economic output by 2% and dealing with Global Warming was overshadowed by the conflict between western leaders and Mr. Putin. As one reporter stated, "He seems to thrive on such confrontations."
Let it not be forgotten that it was strong overtures to Ukraine from the E.U. with the promise of a huge loan for industrial development of oil and gas reserves which began the struggle over Ukrainian territory. The Russian leader could see that buffer zone between his nation and Europe disappearing.
The One Nation Europe
Concerns were expressed in earlier G7 meeting's over the coming British referendum on continued membership in the developing 'One Nation Europe' now being forced into existence by Germany and the non-elected law making body known as the European Commission, against the wishes of the British, Irish, French, Dutch and North Western European nations.
Additional member nations had been denied the opportunity to hold national referendums on the subject after France, Holland, and Ireland rejected a 'One Nation European Constitution' only to have the contents of this approved in a 'treaty' by the E.U. Parliament. Britain has voted to leave the E.U., effectively now in German hands!
See 'Germany In Prophecy' on Library Page 1 to understand the world's political trends and the coming conflict between the new militarized Europe and the U.S. and Britain, also see: So, Who Goes In….' concerning the future European involvement in the Middle East, on Page 1 of Librarian's Comments.
The G 20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors met in Istanbul, Turkey, in Feb. 8th -10th 2015, amidst the continued stress of the E.U. financial crisis over low trade figures and the value of the Euro as well as the Greek, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Irish debt crisis.
The U.S. representative was anxious to stress the need for a real attempt by the E.U. to increase exports without 'currency manipulation,' "something he has been growing weary of." Germany has a huge currency surplus but is NOT prepared to spend this to boost E.U. exports.
With the election of a new anti-austerity government in Greece there was talk of some compromise from the ECB to keep Greece from defaulting on debt payments or searching for an alternative form of financial support outside the E.U.. The Greek debt is an out of control 174.9% to GDP compared to the German 76.90 to GDP debt ratio with a Greek government debt of 303.92 billion Euro's. With much of this owing to British banks!
The Greek, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Irish debt crisis continues. Some of these debts, such as Spain dwarf that of Greece by many times over and with a 25% or more unemployment rates, makes for a tragic economic scene with real human hardship.
Britain had a dangerous 90.60% to GDP debt to GDP ratio, which will now worsen as they leave the E.U. The U.S. debt was 101.53% to GDP with a catastrophic $19 to $20 TRILLION national debt. The Dollar recovered some strength, but the Pound is now suffering the effects of the Brexit vote, taking Britain out of the European Union.
This situation will become critical over the next two years as Britain's trade negotiators scramble to find new outlets for their 42% of present trade with the E.U., when Europe reduces trade with Britain.
To understand the total British debt see 'THE GREAT BRITISH DEBT CRISIS: Now Much Worse Than Greece' on Page 2 of Librarian's Comments and see the shocking video coverage on Britain's financial dilemma, on Page 3 of the Video Library.
The Japanese debt was a staggering 227% to GDP, having seen U.S. trade go to China in the last 20 yrs. Fears of U.S. weakness in their lack of ability to stop Chinese aggression in the South China See, as well as North Korean aggression, may soon cause Japan to develop Nuclear Weapons, with enough uranium stockpiled to supply two hundred warheads within a three year period!
G 20 MEETINGS in Brisbane, Australia…. November 15, 2014
Tensions spilled over into the meeting of the worlds top twenty trading nations in Brisbane Australia after the Asia Pacific rim (APEC) trade block had met earlier in Beijing China. Both meetings were attended by Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama, together with the many world leaders involved.
As one reporter stated "He seems to thrive on such confrontations. "Forbes Magazine has awarded Mr. Putin the 'Most Powerful Man In The World Award' for the second year running, over Mr. Obama who was the recipient in previous years.
The award is not based on diplomatic achievement but on 'hard power' and on points including Russia's sale of 400 Billion's worth of oil sales to China, which will require pipeline construction between the two nations. Mr. Obama's low popularity ratings at home have cost his party the loss of additional political power.
The comments expressed and continued tensions over the Russian Federations military support of the Ukraine separatists may have caused Mr. Putin to leave the G20 meeting early in protest of the rough treatment received. This along with the recent loss of 50% of the value of the Ruble because of sanctions and the low price of oil has not deterred the Russian leader's intention to have at least part of Ukraine.
Belfast, Northern Ireland and St. Petersburg, Florida
The 2013, Belfast, Northern Ireland, and September St. Petersburg, Russia meetings were plagued by the civil war in Syria and the St. Petersburg meeting was dominated with U.S. concerns over the use of chemical weapons in Syria. Once again, President Obama and President Putin were in conflict over Russia's now total involvement in the Syrian crisis, where thousands of innocent people continue to lose their lives and more two million people have fled the country.
Significant trade agreements and talks to solve the continued sluggish world economy should have been the main focus of the conference in St. Petersburg. Yet the real purpose for these top 20 trading nations to meet is becoming more and more distorted with constant political differences! This is how military conflicts and trade wars lead eventually to world war! Look for this unfortunate trend to continue.
See 'Middle East In Prophecy' and 'Germany In Prophecy' on Library Page 1 also see the important 'Who Goes In' on Page 1 of Librarian's Comments to understand these conflicts and world political trends.
G 8 MEETING in England.
May 2013, England. The top 8 world trading nations met in an English farm house to continue their discussions with little to announce. Apparently, the main topic was the Japanese currency increase in a decision to follow the rest of the world's main trading nations into the potentially black whole of flooding the world with an oversupply of devalued currencies.
The Japanese, to their credit, had refused to follow the U.S. lead. Europe had also refused to inflate their currency, but sometime later reluctantly followed the U.S. example and now Japan has been forced to follow in order to make their exported products cheaper overseas. Japan has of course been hurt by China's trade with the Japanese national debt now twice that of GDP, an alarming situation for Japan.
Once again, President Obama confronts President Putin over Russia's involvement in the Syrian crisis, where thousands of innocent people continue to lose their lives.
Mexico Meeting….
The top 20 Nations representing 64% of the world's population and 86% of world economic production meet in Mexico. More than half this 86% of wealth remains in the hands of the U.S. and British descended nations and those traditionally allied nations in Western and Northwestern Europe. The 170 nations outside of the G 20 member nations add only 16% to the world's economy.
The 2012 meeting produced a great deal of tension between the Russian and the U.S. Presidents in a 2 hr. private meeting over Syria with awkward body language during the following press conference. President Obama's cheek was visibly twitching uncontrollably during the official photo session of world leaders!
But the following day a Russian vessel carrying attack helicopters to Syria turned back for its home port! Our President had stared down the Russian bear. Good for you Mr. President!
Assurances of financial support were given to assist the 17 Euro Zone member nations, America and Britain will continue to contribute through further contributions to the International Monetary Fund, earmarked for European nations in trouble.
Britain has already been forced by Germany to contribute a staggering 50 Billion British Pounds to the I M F for this purpose! Poorer nations wonder why they are being forced to contribute, to sustain economies whose citizens enjoy a much higher standard of living than they do? ALL to sustain the existence of the Euro.
London and Montreal….
The obvious goodwill displayed by G20 leaders at the London '09 and Montreal '10 Economic Summits indicated that time remains before more ominous personalities enter into leadership positions in Europe, the Middle East, and South America.
In '09 the pre-summit accusation made by the Brazilian President placing all blame of the financial crisis on "the white, blue eyed (Anglo-Saxon) people" was an indication of things to come. Greece became the focus for criticism and threats from the French Prime Minister in the 2011 meeting.
Germany the 3rd and Brazil now the 8th largest economies in the world, owe their prosperity to the open market economic policies of the United States and British Commonwealth of Nations. The U.S. now purchases 40% of all world exported products. At the end of WW2, this was 60% which helped the entire world recovery.
As Europe struggles to assure the survival of the Euro and the temporary union of nations within the confines of the old 'Roman Empire' a much stronger Germany has emerged. Five predominately Catholic Euro zone member nations have been exposed with economies made of 'weak clay.'
These are the Mediterranean nations and Ireland, while the Catholic east block former communist nations are developing strength and with Germany in control of Europe!
In a future German led final solution to insure European economic and military world dominance, a European leader will shock the world with his actions in a repeat of Germany's bitter past. The short 'The United States And Britain In Prophecy' tells you where all of this will lead the entire world. Also be sure to see the short 'Middle East In Prophecy' and 'Germany In Prophecy' on page 1 of the America And Britains Future Free Library, giving you amazing insight into the final outcome.

According to Abraham Hicks, we have two vibrational vantage points, which are our inner being and our physical body. In becoming fully conscious, our role is to align these two.
But the process wouldn't be easy because as you start to align yourself with your inner being, who you really are, the energy moves faster, causing you to get drained all along.
Once you start to raise your vibration through positivity, appreciation, and meditation, you're focusing your conscious mind and awareness into how the accumulated emotions inside your inner being feel like.
You're more conscious in the realization of the blending because your attention is being called to it. And you can't exist in your physical body without being replenished and refueled by the Source energy.
Whether or not your emotions are stronger, you're just more aware of them. This hyperawareness of your emotions is draining at first. But it's just because you still have resistance towards these emotions that you kept inside yourself unfelt for so long.
The faster your inner being vibrates, the less able you are at keeping up with it. It's the realization of this gap that drains your energy.
This vibrational gap stands between who you really are and who you are allowing yourself to be.
The drag that you feel might be caused by two things, either you're moving in a different direction or you're inner being is having a growth spurt that you can barely manage.
Your role is to manage that gap through processing your emotions and thoughts.
This is one of the challenges down the path to awakening.
But when you know you're moving in the right direction, it's much easier for you to manage this gap even if it would take quite a time. Let your emotions be felt and trust the process.
If everything else fails, you can do the act of surrender. Acknowledge the emotions and allow The Universe to take control.
Doing the right things to manage the gap depends on your preferences, on what truly resonates with you. And when you're consistent with it, you will soon realize that the blending of your two vantage points no longer drains you. This is the greatest thing that could happen to you through your awakening journey.

An analysis of U.S. fatal crash data from 2005-2015 reveals that Montana had the highest rate of road deaths caused by careless and reckless driving during that period, according to the Auto Insurance Center.
The center's analysis was based on data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS). Researchers blamed Montana's higher fatality rate primarily on a lack of seat belt use, speeding, and alcohol impairment.
During the 10-year period, Montana had 108 fatalities attributed to careless and reckless driving per 100,000 residents, according to the Auto Insurance Center's research based on FARS data. Arkansas was the next state with the highest rate of road deaths tied to such dangerous driving behavior (86 fatalities per 100,000 residents).
Which states had the lowest rate of deaths caused by careless and reckless driving?
Virginia (1.42 fatalities per 100,000 residents), New York (2.01), Indiana (2.14), and California (2.84) fared the best.

Home Celebrities Life and Death of Lenny Bruce, How and When Did He Die?
Lenny Bruce was a foremost American stand-up comedian and controversial social critic who died mysteriously in his prime amidst his obscenity trial. With his short but impactful life, he established himself as one of the renowned comedians that paved the way and established conducive platforms for the current eras of comedians to showcase their skills.
Having died in the middle of his trial for obscenity and subsequently getting a posthumous State pardon, Bruce is regarded as an icon who set the landmark for freedom of speech in the United States. Learn more about the events in his life below.
Lenny Bruce was born Leonard Alfred Schneider on October 13, 1925, in Mineola, New York, the United States to Myron (Mickey) Schneider (father) who was a shoe clerk and Sally Marr (mother) who was a stand-up comedian, dancer, actress, and talent spotter.
The parents divorced when Bruce was about to turn 10, his mother was instrumental in seeing that Leonard succeeded as a comedian as she would often take him along to where and when she had shows. In the course of his comedy career, he adopted Lenny Bruce as his stage and professional name.
His childhood was not a remarkable one due to marital issues that existed between his parents; he spent most of his childhood days around his relatives in Bellmore before enrolling in Wellington C. Mepham High School.
After High school, Bruce worked on a farm before Joining the United States Navy in 1942 when he was just 16. He was in the service during World War II, fighting mainly around Italy. He had a comic show in May 1945 which did not go down well with his commanding officers, thus discharging him the same year in an undesirable way. Bruce later requested through an application that his unworthy discharge be changed to "Under Honorable Conditions… by reason of unsuitability for naval service".
Bruce came back to California and spent a little time with his father before leaving to settle in New York to build a career in comedy. With the number of comedians saturated all over New York with a similar line of jokes and artistry, he hooked up with Joe Ancis who schooled him and gave him a unique approach to his style of comedy.
Starting up his career, the former Navy personnel first adopted Lenny Marseille as his stage name before finally settling with Lenny Bruce, around 1947 after a wonderful performance in Brooklyn; he earned $12 and a free spaghetti dinner.
In 1948, after his appearance in the Arthur Godfrey's TV Talent Scout show which he won, he began to land more bookings in nightclubs and bigger shows and better venues like New York's Strand, the monies were not left out as they kept coming. Bruce began shifting his style of comedy from impersonations to free-wheeling monologues satirizing religion and politics. He would grow more famous and release several comedy albums while making occasional appearances on Television in shows hosted by the likes of Steve Allen, and many more.
While Bruce was known for using obscenity in his comedy materials, it landed him into troubles; he was arrested in 1961 for obscenity and possession of prescription narcotics after his show in San Francisco. Following his acquisition, a few years later, the security forces began to keep close eyes on him which later led to his subsequent arrest for use of raw language while on stage.
It was in 1964 that Lenny Bruce was jailed for few months after being convicted for obscenity, the likes of Woody Allen, Bob Dylan and Allen Ginsberg rallied behind him and showed him support during his trials. As he faced more troubles, he had few times for his shows and later went bankrupts. In an attempt to ease the pains of the frustrations; he resorted to drugs which never helped him.
Aside from his arrests for obscenity, Bruce was once arrested after he set up a funding organization to raise the money he would send to a leper colony in Guinea, after about $8,000 were raised, Bruce sent only a paltry sum of $2,500 which the authorities saw as a criminal act thus, his arrest.
In the course of his comedy career, in 1951, Bruce met his wife named Honey Harlow, in a club in Baltimore where she used to be a stripper; he immediately fell for her and made known his intention to marry her. They tied the knot same year before moving to New York in 1953 to settle in West Coast, she would then go on to join Bruce on stage in some of his shows.
Honey Harlow was born Harriett E. Jolliff on August 15, 1927, in Manila, Arkansas, the United States to unmarried teenage parents, while she was a toddler, her father died as a result of a tuberculosis-related case, leaving her to the care of her mother.
As Honey was growing up, her mother found work at a nightclub before re-marrying to a local hustler to fend for her kid. The unstable home condition made Honey leave home as well as skip school; she eventually left home alongside her friend to establish a career in showbiz. In 1953, she appeared in an indie film named Dance Hall Racket which also featured her husband, Lenny Bruce.
Bruce marriage with Honey brought forth a daughter named Kitty Bruce, she was born in 1955. After just a few years they stayed together, due to marital issues, Bruce filed a divorce against his wife on January 21, 1957; it was not until 1959 that the divorce case was finalized. Honey later re-married Jeffrey Friedman in 1984 after the death of her ex-husband, whom she actively promoted his legacies. Years later, she kicked the bucket (died) in 2005.
How and When Did Lenny Bruce Die?
After being convicted and facing trial for obscenity, Bruce took to drugs to ease his pains, on August 3, 1966, he was found dead in the bathroom of his home in Hollywood Hill. Following proper investigations to ascertain the cause of his death, it was announced that Bruce died of acute morphine poisoning caused by an overdose. He was buried in Eden Memorial Park Cemetery in Mission Hills, California.
A biographical film titled Lenny was released in 1974 to capture the known and unknown stories of Lenny Bruce. The award-winning movie was directed by Bob Fosse and featured the likes of Dustin Hoffman as Lenny Bruce, Valerie Perrine played as Honey Bruce and a host of others that played various characters in the biographical drama film.

Pentagon Bails On Controversial 'Nintendo Medal' For Drone Pilots
Tyler Rogoway
The Defense Department continues to struggle with adapting to the changing realities of modern warfare, where personnel can effect the outcome of combat operations dramatically without ever really being where that war is taking place. Drone warfare is one area where the Pentagon, and especially the USAF, has struggled to adapt culturally, and this includes giving recognition where it is deserved.
The U.S. Air Force Will Have Enlisted Pilots For The First Time Since WWII, But They Will Be Flying ...
U.S. Air Force enlisted personnel will be able to fly the remotely-piloted vehicles commonly known…
One way of adapting was the Distinguished Warfare Medal: an award given to drone crews, cyber warfare specialists and other non-combat but essential "virtual warfare" personnel who have had an extraordinary impact on combat operations, but were not physically in a combat theater. But this idea, introduced by then Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta in 2013, quickly became mired in controversy.
Some combat veterans were dismayed that this new medal was placed above the Bronze Star in precedence. It became nicknamed the "Nintendo Medal" in degrading fashion. As such, it died almost as soon as it was born, with Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel pulling it and ordering a review of alternatives. This review has taken years to complete.
DeWalt Cordless Power Tool Kit
DIY it yourself
Along with a charger and two batteries, also in this deal are a power drill, impact driver, blower, flashlight, grinder, reciprocating saw, and more
This review has resulted in the recently "R" device, as in "remote," that will be pinned to existing non-combat medals, such as the Meritorious Service Medal in a similar fashion of how a "V" is affixed to some combat medals to denote "valor."
The criteria for receiving such a medal is for an individual to have had direct and exceptional impact on the battlefield, although they never were on said battlefield physically. In other words, someone who does a fantastic computer diagnostic on a MQ-9 Reaper drone's brain to find a fault probably will not be able to qualify for the citation, but a drone operator who saves a special forces platoon from ambush and coordinates their escape from the enemy's grasp maybe could.
The "R" device is also seen by the Pentagon as a flexible way to adapt to future remote combat roles and it is not just used exclusively for drone crews or cyber warfare specialists.
The question is, where the Distinguished Warfare Medal maybe went a step too far, does the R device not go far enough, and is it just another sign of the deep and debilitating cultural divide between an Air Force dominated by pilots and drones operators?
The Air Force Finally Realizes It Needs To Greatly Expand Its Drone Fleet, Not Reduce It
The U.S. Air Force's plan to pare down its drone fleet was fantastically unrealistic—and the…

You will prepare and submit a term paper on Children, Video Games, Violence, and Parental Control.
You will prepare and submit a term paper on Children, Video Games, Violence, and Parental Control. Your paper should be a minimum of 1750 words in length. Changes in the industry confer responsibility upon parents of middle age school going children of deciding to approve their children to play video games. According to Ward 2010, parents who allow children to play video games face the challenge of regulating the potential negative impacts. Some of the video games feature violent acts and graphics that that trouble parents because of their immediate and long-term effects. The research will demonstrate how a particular category of parents belonging to children at some middle school age allows their children to proceed with these games. The research will also focus on finding out the parents' feelings about the influence on their children's behavior. The study will, therefore, give a lot of concentration to middle school-age children and groups of their parents.
I have never found it interesting since childhood to play video games. It, however, surprises me to find that children can take the biggest portion of their hours playing a video. Consequently, the children end up getting addicted to video games. What I find devastating is that some of the video games have violent characteristics accompanied by its graphics. It, therefore, is possible that the playing child will have behavioral change after playing it for a long time. Surprisingly, parents still let their children continue playing these video games and assume the detrimental aspects of the game to the well-being of their children. It is, therefore, my biggest concern to find out why my parents would give room to me and my younger to neither play similar video games for longer times nor purchase the violent video games for us.
Ferguson 2013 raises concerns on the Supreme Court's stand regarding freedom of speech and the extent to which people can exercise it. The writer disagrees with the court's decision to give the green light for selling graphical video games that are violent in nature. Horton questions the requirement of the First Amendment that gives freedom to minors to purchase video games that have violent graphics.&nbsp.&nbsp.

Review: Rhys Nicholson: Nice People Nice Things Nice Situations at The Victoria Hotel
By Nicola Bennett
A night spent absorbing the work of Rhys Nicholson is a treat for a comedy-savvy audience. The evening sets off at a fast tempo and demands that the audience keeps pace with its star, as Nicholson delivers his quick fire observations. The show has a particularly personal style this year, with the focus drawn to Nicholson's current life stage and experiences resulting from it.
This personal theme creates a consistent sense of relatability in a show that focuses on both the mundane and the more extreme parts of a late 20-something's world, and the big questions that we face moving into the world of our thirties. Marriage, kids and the betrayal of our own bodies rings true for those who have experienced it and serves as a PSA for those approaching it.
Nicholson's style is not for those who like to sit back and digest what they're hearing at a leisurely pace. It's a rapid fire approach to comedy but executed with sniper-like precision.
There's a combination of the planned performance with also the odd impromptu tangent that makes every show feel like an original. This is no mean feat considering the extensive billing that Nicholson has committed to for the entirety of the festival, and a testament to the raw creative stamina he clearly possesses. You can really gauge the authentic talent that radiates out of this performer, as his set routine is sprinkled with impromptu self-critiques and audience interactions that are as seamless as they are enticing. Nicholson embodies the type of comedian whose personality is highly in sync with the execution of their craft, as his personal character seemlessly permeates his set with both skill and flair.
His gradual meandering across the full stage space lends a subtle physicality to the performance, giving audiences a highly engrossing hour that continues to give and then give some more. The performance space is the perfect blank canvas for a performer as vibrant and engrossing as Rhys Nicholson.
Nicholson's rapid chatty style may not suit all comedy consumers, as it does require a keen ear to pick up some of his more sharply delivered content. This characteristic however only endears Nicholson to the audience at hand even more, as we get the sense that much like the rest of us, Rhys Nicholson is just trying to navigate this world one confusing grown up decision at a time. Please help yourself to a great night out and catch Rhys Nicholson at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival until Sunday 21st of April.

Regimentul 30 Infanterie a fost o unitate de nivel tactic care s-a constituit la 14/27 august 1916, prin mobilizarea unităților și subunităților existente la pace aparținând de Regimentul Muscel No. 30.

La intrarea în război, Regimentul 30 Infanterie a fost comandat de locotenent-colonelul Stelian Alexandrescu. Regimentul 30 Infanterie a participat la acțiunile militare pe frontul românesc, pe toată perioada războiului, între 14/27 august 1916 - 28 ocotmbrie/11 noiembrie 1918.

Weak 2016 Returns Spur Unfunded State Pension Liabilities
However, Moody's says strong 2017, 2018 returns will lead to a drop in liabilities.
Although poor investment returns in 2016 spurred a sharp rise in the adjusted net pension liabilities of most US states in 2017, strong investment returns during the ensuing two years are expected to lead to a decline in pension liabilities over the next two years, according to Moody's Investors Service.
"We project aggregate state ANPL [adjusted net pension liabilities] will decline to $1.5 trillion when pension liabilities are reported in fiscal 2018, a 6.6% decline from fiscal 2017 ANPL," Moody's Analyst Pisei Chea said in a release. "The aggregate state ANPL will again decline about 4.7% to $1.4 trillion in fiscal 2019 reporting, reflecting continued favorable investment returns in fiscal 2018 and a slight increase in the June 30 discount rate."
A new report from Moody's said fiscal 2017 reporting shows total state adjusted net pension liabilities at $1.6 trillion, or 147.4% of state revenue, up from $1.3 trillion and 122%, respectively, in fiscal 2016. As a result, state adjusted net pension liabilities grew by 25.5% to 8.4% of US GDP in fiscal 2017, up from 7.0% in fiscal 2016.
The report found a wide disparity of growth in ANPL from state to state. It said the largest increases were reported in Delaware, Hawaii, Oregon, and South Dakota, all of which saw their adjusted net pension liabilities grow by more than 60%. Meanwhile Michigan, New York, Washington, and Utah saw their adjusted net pension liabilities grow by less than 5%.
Illinois stood out with a steep 25% rise in adjusted net pension liabilities to $250 billion, or 601% of state revenues, which Moody's said was an all-time high for any state, and well above the median of $12 billion, or 106.8% of revenues for fiscal year 2017.
The Moody's report also said many states were not making sufficient pension contributions to prevent the liabilities from growing, providing what the firm referred to as a "tread water" contribution level. It said the median pension contribution was only 95.5% of its tread-water indicator for all states, with 22 states over the 100% threshold, and New Jersey reporting the weakest contribution ratio at 29.6%.
However, the report said improving investment returns during the last two fiscal years will partly reverse the negative impact of low returns in fiscal 2015 and 2016, and that it expects the benefit will begin to show in 2019.
"Healthy revenue growth will also help states service their pension costs," said Moody's, "however, rising costs will continue to weigh on many states, including Illinois and Connecticut where fiscal 2017 fixed costs for debt service, retiree health, and pensions on a tread water basis exceeded 30% of own-source revenue."
It added that weak demographics in states such as West Virginia and Maine will present challenges for funding pension liabilities, while pension reforms in Ohio, Colorado, Minnesota, and Kentucky will help reduce future pension liabilities in these states.
