HMD Global launches Nokia X71 with 48-megapixel camera and punch-hole display
Following the latest trend in the smartphone market aimed at achieving a higher screen-to-body ratio, HMD Global has launched the Nokia X71 with a 48-megapixel primary camera and a punch-hole display in Taiwan. The new Nokia X71 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC coupled with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage. It runs on Android 9.0 Pie and is backed up by a 3,500mAh battery. The device features a triple rear camera module at the back compromising of a 48-megapixel primary sensor, 8-megapixel secondary sensor and 5-megapixel tertiary sensor. It features a 6.39-inch Full HD+ display with a 19.3:9 aspect ratio. There is also a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and a 3.5mm headphone jack, making the X71 the most perfect phone from Nokia.
According to the specs sheet, Nokia X71 would not be competing with Nokia 9 PureView–which sits at the top of the Nokia smartphones models, but would rather slip into the mid-range smartphones from HMD Global. In terms of its position in the mid-range smartphone segment, Nokia X71 comes with features that could give other devices in the range a run for their money. The device runs on Stock Android 9.0 Pie, confirming the swift security and software updates.
HMD Global has not revealed the pricing of the phone and neither the availability of it outside Taiwan has been confirmed. However, judging by the aggressive pricing of the Xiaomi Note 7 Pro, it is expected to ship with a price tag hovering around that figure. According to a GSMArena report, the price of the Nokia X71 starts at 11,990 TWD, which translates roughly to ₹26,800. The website also notes that Nokia X71 is expected to ship to other markets under the moniker Nokia 8.1 Plus.

Father of Jehovah's Witness teen wants charges against lawyers in her death
Saturday June 24, 2006 Jehovah's Witnesses
TORONTO (CP) – A Calgary father whose daughter, a Jehovah's Witness, died after refusing blood transfusions for leukemia is making a last-ditch quest for what he considers justice.
Lawrence Hughes stood outside the Toronto offices of the Law Society of Upper Canada on Friday to declare he's pressing ahead with lawsuits against the religious order and two of its lawyers.
"I want justice for Bethany," Hughes told a news conference. "But most of all I want to prevent this from happening to other families and to other children."
Bethany Hughes died of acute myeloid leukemia in September 2002. Alberta Children's Services assumed custody of the 17-year-old when she refused blood and she was eventually given 38 transfusions.
In an unusual twist to a long-running case, Hughes said he wants the RCMP to lay charges against Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society lawyers David Gnam and Shane Brady, whom he accuses of interfering with Bethany's care.
"I want the Watch Tower lawyers . . .charged with the murder of my daughter, Bethany," Hughes said. "They lied to her. They convinced her that arsenic would cure her and was curing her."
Theologically, Jehovah's Witnesses are a cult of Christianity. The oppressive organization does not represent historical, Biblical Christianity in any way.
Sociologically, it is a destructive cult whose false teachings frequently result in spiritual and psychological abuse, as well as needless deaths.
In order to be able to support its unbiblical doctrines, the Jehovah's Witnesses organization has created it's own version of the Bible. The so-called "New World Translation" is rejected by all Christian denominations.
Research resources on Jehovah's Witnesses
Hughes claims, among other things, that Bethany was convinced to pull the medical tubes from her arms while in hospital.
Legal actions he launched on his own behalf, in particular against the Watch Tower, were dismissed by a judge earlier this year.
Brady himself, interviewed from his office in Georgetown, Ont., brushed aside the allegations.
"Mr. Hughes has tried this stunt numerous times," said Brady. "Did he at least say that the thing was dismissed in court last week, all of these accusations?"
"It's all gone. There's nothing left."
Brady quoted the judge's ruling which noted that Bethany's treatment was acceptable.
Jehovah's Witnesses consider it to be against God's wishes for one person to take blood from another.
Hughes blames the church for influencing his daughter to believe blood transfusions were wrong and wouldn't help her.
"If the Watch Tower Society had left my daughter alone, she would have had a fighting chance to live," he said.
There were months of legal battles over the medical intervention in Bethany's care.
Her illness and death tore the family apart and renewed public debate over how to determine when a child should be able to choose medical care.
Hughes broke away from the church in order to get his daughter the necessary treatments and eventually divorced his wife Arliss, who is a devout Jehovah's Witness.
Did Bethany really have to die?
Last week, Hughes was dealt another blow in his efforts when he was removed as executor over his daughter's estate, thereby preventing him from using the estate to sue the religious order.
He said he intends to appeal both rulings and plans a protest Saturday outside the Watch Tower's Canadian headquarters in Georgetown, near Toronto.
"It's not over with," insisted Hughes. "Even if I did lose this lawsuit the war is not over. I'll never give up until there's justice."

Lesson Objectives:
Learners will be able to...
Define different views on the balance of power between federal, state, and local governments.
Distinguish between fact, opinion, and reasoned judgement in arguments about balance of power.
Determine the central ideas or information of a primary source and provide an accurate summary of the source.
Identify aspects of a text that reveal an author's point of view or purpose.

Inquiry Question:
When the founders of the United States wrote the Constitution, they reserved different powers for state governments and for the federal government. How does this balance of power affect people who live in the United States?
Americans have many different views on the balance of power between federal, state, and local governments. This issue marked a basic difference between the first two American political parties.
In recent years, Americans have disagreed on:
whether the federal government could force local police to follow federal guidelines
whether state governments could set healthcare laws that were different from the federal laws
whether local governments could create public health restrictions that were different from the state's orders.
The United States uses a federalist system of government. In this system, power is divided between federal, state, and local levels. Debates about the balance of power between these three are a core part of a democratic society. Yet Americans have also contributed to these debates in bad faith.
At times, people have used arguments about states' rights to promote racism. For example, segregationists in the mid-1900s argued that federal laws supporting racial quality violated "states' rights." Students can further explore this topic in Activity 1.
In the United States, local, state, and federal governments have each responded to the COVID-19 pandemic. These varying responses raised concerns about the power of each level of government. Students can further explore this topic in Activity 2.
In the following activities, learners analyze and think critically about conflicts between the federal government and state or local governments and how that affects individual citizens. Educators should choose one of the following activities to complete with their participants.
Activity 1: Analyzing Primary Documents
Distribute the following document to participants. Working either individually or in small groups, participants should read the document and answer the first set of questions. Note that the names and platforms of political parties change over time. The beliefs of the Democratic or Republican parties of the 1940s do not align with those held by these parties today.
Document: Selections from Speech by Strom Thurmond, September 20, 1948
For the presidential election of 1948, a group of white Southern Democrats created their own political party called the States' Rights Democratic Party (also known as the Dixiecrats). Strom Thurmond, the governor of South Carolina and the party's nominee for president, gave this campaign speech over a radio broadcast in Texas. Truman, Dewey, and Wallace were the other presidential candidates. This passage is excerpted from the original speech, with some spelling and capitalization errors corrected for clarity.
One of the most critical hours in American history is at hand. The American people today are faced with a decision which will affect all their liberties for generations to come. That decision is so important that it outranks all the vital issues of domestic and foreign policy with which our people are concerned…
Today, the rights of the States, and the rights of the individual, are in mortal danger.
There are forces at work in this country today which are seeking to lead our people down the same pathway to the total state that was traveled by the people of Germany and Italy and Russia…
The power these three candidates [for president] propose to delegate to Washington is the power that now rests with your local city and county officials and with your representatives in your own state government. If their plans are carried out, your home county will be a shadow, and your home state a mockery.
For three decades some of our greatest Americans have warned that we must stop the grabbing of power by Washington. But the American people, busy with wars and depressions, have been asleep to this danger. Today, we are waking up at last. The tide of public opinion is turning.
And the alarm clock that is waking us up is the greatest single assault upon our individual freedoms and upon the rights of states ever made in this country.
That assault is being forced upon the American people under the false and misleading name of the Civil Rights Program. It has been flaunted in the platforms of the Truman-Democrats, the Dewey-Republicans, and Wallace-Progressives. It is a frontal attack on the way of life of the American people, and if it is carried out, the last barrier between us and a socialistic state will have been removed.
Let us look closely at this program of civil interference sponsored by Truman, Dewey, and Wallace.
First on the list is a disguised effort to gain control of the elections in our states. This proposal is known as an Anti-Poll Tax Bill. In reality, it is an attempt to take away from the states their right to set qualifications for voting, guaranteed by the Constitution.
Some states may disapprove of the Poll Tax as a prerequisite for voting. Others may approve of it. But under the Constitution, the Poll Tax is a matter for the states and the states alone. Therefore, any federal measure concerning the Poll Tax would tear down the only barrier which prevents Washington officials from controlling our elections…
Another proposal endorsed by the three Philadelphia conventions would break down the laws provided by our states to separate the races. This law would force the mingling of our two races in theatres, homes, schools, and restaurants. It would destroy, at one fell swoop, the harmony of the races in the South, built up over 75 years of struggle. It would wipe out, with one lick, the rights of the states to make their own social laws…
…The American people, waking up at last, are turning to the Party of the States Rights Democrats.
They know that a vote for Truman, or Dewey, or Wallace, is a vote for federal force laws, for co-mingling of the races, for federal control of elections, for federal control of business, and the federal police state. And they know that a vote for the States Rights Democrats is a vote for the rights of States, and for the freedom of the individual man to live his own life.
Question Set 1:
Who was Strom Thurmond? What was his job?
Re-read the introduction to this document. What was the occasion for this speech?
What do you think Thurmond was trying to get his audience to do?
How would you describe the tone of this speech? (calm, sad, joyful, etc.)
In this selection, you read about two proposals. What is the first one? Based on its name, what do you think it would do if it became law?
What is the second proposal that Thurmond mentions? What would this proposal do if it became law? (Hint: if you are having trouble making sense of the language, read it multiple times).
What do the two proposals that Thurmond criticized have in common?
Based on his criticism of those two proposals, what sort of laws do you think Thurmond opposed?
After participants have completed the document analysis questions, review the answers as a group. Make sure learners understand that the first proposal Thurmond mentions was a law that would make it illegal for states to have a poll tax, and that the second proposal was a less clearly defined law that would make racial segregation illegal. If students are not familiar with the poll tax, explain that it was a way to prevent impoverished people, particularly impoverished Black people, from voting. Next, ask participants to read the document again and answer the second set of questions.
Questions Set 2:
According to Thurmond, what is in "mortal danger"?
What reason(s) does Thurmond give for opposing the first proposal?
What reason(s) does Thurmond give for opposing the second proposal?
In your own words, what is the main reason Thurmond gives for opposing these proposals?
Review students' answers as a group, confirming that Thurmond opposed civil rights laws using the language of "states' rights." Ask participants why they think Thurmond used states' rights language to make his arguments. Who do learners think these arguments might have appealed to?

Activity 2: Researching Federalism and COVID-19
Have participants read the three quotes about federalism during the COVID-19 pandemic and complete the following graphic organizer. Learners could work either individually or in small groups. After students have completed the graphic organizer, ask participants which argument they found the most convincing. You could also prompt participants to share their views on whether lower levels of government should be allowed to make their own public health laws during a crisis.
As an alternative to the quotes provided in this activity, you could substitute quotes updated to the most recent events in federalism and COVID-19. For an additional challenge, students could research their own quotes.
"Lebanon County will begin reopening next Friday, May 15, even though the state still has the county in the red phase at least until June 4…Officials and lawmakers representing Lebanon County sent Gov. Tom Wolf's administration a letter Friday outlining their intention. 'We have heard the pleas of our residents who desire the ability to safely re-open their businesses and safely return to work,' the letter said in part…'Enough is enough. It is time to reopen the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and return our state to the people (as prescribed by our Constitution) and not run it as a dictatorship,' the letter said."
--Lancaster Online, "Several southcentral Pa. officials say they'll reopen ahead of Gov. Wolf's timeline," May 10, 2020
"I heard the President speak yesterday and what he was tweeting about today on schools. And look, this is getting a little old as far as I'm concerned. And I heard what the President said on schools, but this is been there, done that, right? School reopenings are a state decision, period…we'll get the data and we'll make that decision in August. But just to be clear, the federal government has no legal authority when it comes to school openings."
--New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, July 8, 2020
"'Absolutely under our Constitution and our laws governments, state and local, and basically local governments are a function of state government, so it's state government has the ability to set rules in place to protect the public health,' said Bloomington Mayor John Hamilton…Last Friday, [Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb] issued another executive order loosening—for most of the state—some of the restrictions that had been in place. He called it Phase 2 of a five-step plan for reopening Indiana. He gave local authorities the right to have stricter guidelines than the state…Dr. Tom Sharp, designated by the county health department as the Monroe County Public Health Authority, wrote the order requiring the Monroe County [which includes the city of Bloomington] state of emergency orders to continue, thus negating the governor's May 1 order allowing some businesses to reopen."
--Indiana Public Media, "Can Monroe County Really Impose Tougher COVID-19 Restrictions Than The State?" May 6, 2020
What are the levels of government involved? What is the lower level of government trying to do? What is the higher level of government trying to do? Is the higher level of government permitting the lower level to do that? What argument is the lower level of government making for itself?
Wrap-up:
How do you interact with the different levels of government in your daily life?
Are there examples of conflicts between local and federal power in your community?
Why might the balance between state and federal power matter in your life?
What does learning about the balance of power make you wonder or want to know more about?

Q: compile 64 bit under visual studio 2010 I have a 32 bit operating system and i am under visual studion 2010. I was wondering if i can compile a 64-bit MFC application with VS2010 under my OS.
Thank you.

A: Yes, VS2010 has a cross-compiler in the vc/bin/x86_amd64 subdirectory.  It is automatically used when you add the x64 platform to your solution.  If you don't see it then re-run setup to add the 64-bit compilers.
You of course can't test it.

A: In the Configuration Manager, add a new solution platform.  If you have the x64 compilers and tools installed, 'x64' should be listed as an available option.

A: Yes, you can compile the code, but you can not run it. In order to run the code, you need to specify the run-time environment.

BCAB #1812
Re: Protection of Walls Exposing Other Walls
The project is a mixed-use sprinklered building including multiple fire compartments. The proposed building design incorporates a breezeway through the first and second storeys. Glazed unprotected openings on the first storey commercial suites look onto each side of the breezeway. A public corridor and some residential suites on the second storey also have glazed unprotected openings that overlook the breezeway.
Applicable Code Requirement
Sentences 3.1.8.1.(1) and (2), 3.2.3.14.(1) and (3), and 3.3.4.2.(1) of Division B of the 2012 British Columbia Building Code
3.1.8.1.(1) Any wall, partition or floor assembly required to be a fire separation shall
a) except as permitted by Sentence (2), be constructed as a continuous element, and
b) as required in this Part, have a fire-resistance rating as specified (see Appendix A).
3.1.8.1.(2) Openings in a fire separation shall be protected with closures, shafts or other means in conformance with Articles 3.1.8.4. to 3.1.8.17. and Subsections 3.1.9. and 3.2.8. (See Appendix A.)
3.2.3.14.(1) Except as required by Sentences (3) and 3.2.3.13.(1) or as permitted by Sentence 3.2.3.19.(4), if an unprotected opening in an exterior wall of a fire compartment is exposed to an unprotected opening in the exterior wall of another fire compartment, and the planes of the 2 walls are parallel or at an angle less than 135°, measured from the exterior of the building, the unprotected openings in the 2 fire compartments shall be separated by a distance not less than Do where Do = 2D − ((θ /90) x D) but in no case less than 1 m, and
D= the greater required limiting distance for the exposing building faces of the 2 fire compartments, and
θ= the angle made by the intersecting planes of the exposing building faces of the 2 fire compartments (in the case where the exterior walls are parallel and face each other, θ = 0°).
(See Appendix A.)
3.2.3.14.(3) Sentence (1) does not apply to unprotected openings of fire compartments within a building that is sprinklered throughout, but shall apply to
a) unprotected openings of fire compartments on opposite sides of a firewall, and
b) exposure from unprotected openings of a fire compartment that is not protected by an automatic sprinkler system.
3.3.4.2.(1) Except as permitted by Sentences (2) and 3.2.2.9.(2), suites of residential occupancy shall be separated from each other and the remainder of the building by a fire separation having a fire-resistance rating not less than 1 h.
Decision being Appealed (Local Authority's Position)
The local authority has determined that the glazed openings in the first storey fire compartments on opposing sides of the breezeway require protection, and also that the glazed portions of the public corridor on the second floor overlooking the breezeway are openings in a rated fire separation and require protection.
Appellant's Position
The appellant maintains that Sentence 3.2.3.14.(1) does not apply and that the Code has no requirements for the public corridor to be constructed as a fire separation where it overlooks the breezeway.
Appeal Board Decision # 1812
It is the determination of the Board that the openings between the breezeway and the remainder of the building require protection.
Reason for Decision
The Board considers the breezeway to be part of a means of egress and the applicable code provisions apply, including but not limited to Sections 3.1, 3.3. and 3.4. apply.
The Board acknowledges that as the building is sprinklered throughout, in accordance with Sentence 3.2.3.14.(3) the requirements of Sentence 3.2.3.14.(1) do not apply. The Board considers the breezeway to be part of the building, but not part of the floor area.

Will it work with other smart lighting gateways?
We recommend you use these E27 light bulbs with the Philips Hue Bridge for best performance. However, we have tested and used these Philips lights with the Osram Lightify Gateway which we sold previously.
Upgrade to the latest Lightify Gateway firmware in the Lightify App before adding Hue lights.
Be patient when adding Hue lights, it can take a few attempts before Lightify locates the Hue lights in the network. They will appear as 'Device 01', 'Device 02', etc. Once added, it can take a minute or two before they are controllable in the Lightify App.
Changing colour temperature, RGB colours and dimming all work in the Lightify App. However in our testing, dimming is smoother when using the Hue Bridge and Hue App.
So is it Philips Hue Ambiance or Philips Hue Ambience?
Officially, the light is called "Hue White & Color Ambiance Single Bulb E27." So it seems that Philips has gone American on colour and French on ambience!
Philips Hue LED Bulb E27 - White & Colour Ambiance has a rating of 4.9 stars based on 61 reviews.

Mentor Capital Network
Where Mission Drives Margin
We find companies that are solving our world's most important challenges, and help them get to the point where they can support themselves.
The Mentor Capital Network
We connect mission-driven entrepreneurs with advisers, mentors, and investors to help them build companies that will be both socially, environmentally, *and* financially sustainable. We have worked with companies in more than 90 countries, across 14 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Below are three examples, and you can find a longer list here.
Wello empowers individuals to use the WaterWheel as an income-generating tool to lift their families out of poverty.
Cynthia Koenig, founder, says, "The feedback I received from [The MCN] was far and away the most comprehensive, detailed and useful feedback I've received. In fact, years later, I still refer back to my feedback forms! I'm still in touch with a few of my judges, who continue to provide advice, feedback, and support."
Wello is one of many companies that the MCN has worked with who are addressing Health, Water, and Gender issues.
Nuru Energy sells a portable, rechargeable LED task light through microfranchise businesses.
Sameer Hajee, founder and CEO, recalls "We've won now about 20 awards. Many of them came after the [MCN] award. The [MCN] was one of the first awards we won that helped us initially prove our concept. But of all those 20 awards, the [MCN] was the only one where we actually had access to a lot of the feedback from the judges and it was fantastic in helping us to adapt the model….That's been really helpful for us, even two, three years after we won the award."
Nuru is one of many companies the MCN has worked with that are dedicated to providing affordable and accessible Renewable Energy.
WholeForest partners with with forest communities in Ecuador to conserve threatened forests, implements sustainable forest management, designs and manufactures hardwood flooring and furniture in the community factory, and markets them to green construction projects in the US.
Peter Pinchot told us that "When we entered the mentoring program, we had not raised any investment, despite working flat out since 2013 with bilateral and multilateral funds, social impact funds, and private investors…. In 2017, I took our Mentor Capital Network vetted business plan to our donor, and against his initial refusals eventually got him to start investing in our new business line, as a way to expand our conservation impact. Without the guidance and mentoring on our business model and plan, I would not have been able to achieve the subsequent $1 million to build our plant and launch the new business."
WholeForest is one of many companies that the MCN has worked with that is focused on Sustainable Forestry and Life on Land.

Cape Verde, the Morabeza Islands.
There are ten semi-arid islands of volcanic origin spread across the Atlantic Ocean, about 570 km to the west of Mauritania and Senegal and exposed to the trade winds.
Together, the Cape Verde Islands cover an area of just over 4000 square km. From 1460 onwards, they were discovered by Portuguese navigators or in the service of the Portuguese crown. Cape Verde proclaimed its independence (from Portugal) on 5 July 1975.
Cape Verde is one of the four archipelagos that form the insular domain of Macaronesia. The others are, from north to south: the Azores, Madeira and Porto Santo, and the Canaries,
Each Cape Verdean island has its own charm.
The popular island of sal with its arid, desert scenarios. The privileged salt pans and beaches, and the strong trade winds that attract windsurfers and kitesurf de todo o mundo.
The island of Boavista, the emerald sea, its vast sands and huge dunes.
The mother island of Cape Verde is Santiago. The Cidade Velha is located there, the first town in the archipelago that started it all. Praia, the capital of Cape Verde. And the Tarrafal countryside has a bad memory, but today, too, a welcoming town with its own irresistible beaches.
Fogo, its majestic volcano mountain and Chã das Caldeiras, home to resilient communities with a curious French-speaking origin, from time to time, with victims affected by the inexorable lava of Fogo but who still do not abandon the gigantic caldera-crater where your clan has long inhabited.
Then there's the elusive Brava, located west of São Filipe, the capital of Fogo. May, lady of some more wonderful beaches and the tiny Santa Luzia.
To the north, the mountainous Santo Antao, São Vicente, and the city of Mindelo, considered the cultural capital of Cape Verde. And Baía das Gatas, place of the famous music festival of the same name.
The tiny Santa Luzia and then São Nicolau, sung by Cesária Évora in "Saudade". And, like Santo Antão, place of the last artisanal and historic piers of the archipelago

Keywords: Milk, Sugar, Jack fruit powder, Banana Stem Powder, Response surface methodology, Central composite design
Objectives: The present work is focused on the sensory quality of yogurt produced with high fibre powder. Methods: Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to optimize the ingredients like: Milk (1000 ml), sugar (100 g), Jack fruit powder (20g) and Banana Stem Powder (25g). Results: The results showed that the model fit was significant (p < 0.05) and there was satisfactory correlation between actual and fitted values. The statistical model was used to optimise the factors level for highest acceptability, to produce yogurt with high fibre. Data obtained from RSM on yogurt produced with high fibre banana stem powder and Jack fruit powder were subjected to the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and analyzed using a second order polynomial equation. Sensory analysis for colour and taste in the yogurt produced with banana stem powder and Jack fruit powder at the optimized ingredients composition were performed. Conclusion: The optimum condition for the best sensory score is Milk- 826ml, Sugar- 99.8g, Jack fruit powder 20.3g and Banana Stem Powder-22.5g. Yogurt produced with high fibre powder under the optimum conditions for sensory score was again subjected to evaluation of sensory values and the results were compared with the RSM predictions.

Socialism Today - Has France moved to the right?
Has France moved to the right?
The crowning of right-wing president Nicolas Sarkozy was greeted by George Bush and Tony Blair. French workers, young people, and those in the sprawling, run-down suburbs, on the other hand, are bracing themselves for severe attacks on living and working conditions. KARL DEBBAUT assesses the result and its implications.
AFTER WINNING THE presidential elections with 53% against Parti Socialiste (PS) candidate Ségolène Royal, Nicolas Sarkozy went on a little holiday. Reminding everyone that the photo calls with workers in overalls and hard hats had served their purpose for now, he holidayed on a luxury yacht owned by billionaire businessman and corporate market raider, Vincent Bolloré, who personally covered the cost. The neo-liberal politicians in Europe seem to have the same penchant for freeloading off their rich friends. Tony Blair gets Cliff Richard, a middle aged, Christian ex-pop star to invite him for his holidays. (As far as we know, Sarkozy has not yet accepted an invitation from Johnny Haliday for his next 'sejour'.) The ex-prime minister of Italy, Silvio Berlusconi, must have felt some admiration for Sarkozy's brashness. He commented that "Sarkozy has taken me as a model".
The 'boat people affair' is a small reminder, if one were needed, of who Sarkozy is going to represent: the 'jet set right', the new rich made up of a small circle of people who have made billions leading France's most successful private businesses. Defending his free holiday, Sarkozy declared: "I wish the French economy had a lot of Vincent Bollorés, Martin Bouygues, Bernard Arnaults, François Pinaults, that's to say, men who are capable of investing to create jobs. It is not shameful to have worked hard, to have created a big enterprise, to create jobs".
Bouygues and Arnault, apart from having been witnesses at Sarkozy's wedding, are respectively number 177 and seven on the World's Richest People list of the American magazine Forbes. Bolloré is number 451 and François Pinault 34. The talk about France being in an economic ditch does not apply to these people, neither does it apply to the largest 40 French multinationals which have made €96 billion profit in 2006 while wages and conditions of work for the millions deteriorated.
THE SARKOZY PROGRAMME for the first 100 days will be a brutal attack on the rights of the working class and youth. In an interview with Les Échos, the sister paper of the Financial Times in France (13 February), Sarkozy was very precise about the kind of measures he will try to push through: "No minimum benefits without work in exchange, no papers to stay in France long-term if one cannot write, if one cannot read, if one cannot speak French, no increase in minimum pensions without consolidation of the pension system".
On top of this is the promise not to replace more than half of the civil servants who retire, pushing even more young people into the private sector with only part-time, low-paid jobs on offer. Over the past 20 years France has created a million public-sector jobs. France has a public sector that, even with its own problems, outperforms that of many other European countries.
In previous decades governments faced with mass movements have often used the public sector to create jobs and absorb some of the unemployment created by lay-offs in the private industry. For this we do not have to thank the altruistic tendencies of the French establishment but a calculated, and on a European scale not uncommon, practice of the private sector temporarily off-loading social tension onto the state and thus the taxpayer. This was done under huge pressure from mass movements of the working class and trade union struggle. It was an attempt to give concessions to the workers from above, to prevent further eruptions from below. That France is 'backward' in neo-liberal terms – breaking down the concessions made to the working class in Europe throughout the post-second world war period – is a measure of how successful the workers have been in resisting the neo-liberal onslaught of privatisations and slashing of public services. To give but one example: at present, France still has twice as many doctors per capita than Britain.
Sarkozy wants to break this habit and take a neo-liberal leap in a quasi Thatcherite 'revolution'. For the establishment this is necessary: if it wants to be able to compete on the European and world markets it has to force the French workers, youth, smallholders and layers of the middle class to join the race to the bottom. Many past governments, of the right and left, have tried over the last 20 years. None have completely succeeded. While there was some fear among the ruling elite in the run-up to the election that Sarkozy was going to be so brutal that he would provoke a backlash and open revolt, they rallied behind him and his plans for a 'changed' France.
When the centre-right government tried to use its electoral victory over Le Pen to introduce anti-working class measures it ran into determined resistance. Although it succeeded in pushing through pension reform in 2003, privatisation or part-privatisation of public services, including La Poste, EDF-GDF (electricity and gas) and a tightening of public spending, it led to more class polarisation and further undermined the main parties. By 2005 a leading member of Sarkozy's UMP (Union pour un Mouvement Populaire) rather tastelessly said that "the centre-right and centre-left parties are like the twin towers. You know they will collapse but we do not know, yet, which one will go first".
One of the reasons why Sarkozy, like all the other main candidates, constantly talked about change and used the idea of re-founding the nation was to try and achieve a break with the past and rebuild the main party of the rightwing, the UMP. The political shift to the right of the PS allowed Sarkozy to refer to left leaders of the past, like Leon Blum and Jean Jaurès, not as representatives of the working class but as representatives of the 'great French nation'. This message of national unity and the need to change worked in the election campaign. However, elections are a snapshot, a picture at a certain moment in time. When Sarkozy tries to put his ideas into practice, the goalposts will move.
ALL THROUGH THE campaign Sarkozy appealed to "a France that wants to get up early", with a clarion cry that "those who work harder will earn more". Part of this is Sarkozy's intention to abolish the CDI (open-ended contracts providing, in theory, a job for life) and CDD (fixed-term contracts), and replace them by a new system introducing more flexibility and making hiring, and especially firing, easier.
The already greater 'flexibility' in young people's employment finds its expression through the growing part of CDD (accounting for 75% of new recruitment, 13% of all jobs) without leading to any increase in job creation. This idea, to accept longer working hours and less social protection to stop an economical implosion, found an echo among those parts of the middle and working classes which fall outside the relative protection of public-sector jobs. It is simplistic to conclude that this is a sign that France has turned to the right or that this means enthusiasm for 'modernisation', as is claimed in the media. These layers have been at the sharp end of the previous five years of neo-liberal reform by a right-wing government, coming after a PS-led government (1997-2002) that privatised more than all the earlier conservative governments together.
The notion, only defended by the most fervent free-market propagandists, that France is a 'socialistic' state, is a mystery to them. In fact, France is very much in line with Britain when it comes to flexible hours and low-paid jobs. When the current French prime minister, Dominique de Villepin, tried to introduce the Contrat Premier Embauche (CPE) in 2006 – a law which would have meant that all workers under the age of 26 could be sacked, without warning or reason, at any time during their first 24 months – it was defeated by massive mobilisations on the street. However, under the Contrat Nouvelles Embauches (CNE), which was passed in 2005, all workers regardless of their age can be sacked without warning or reason at any time during their first 48 months in workplaces with less than 20 employees. This special contract is still in force together with a series of other 'emergency' contracts aimed at boosting a flexi-job market.
The introduction of the 35-hour week by the Jospin government was sold, and in part perceived, as a progressive measure among the left. The practical experience proved a cold shower for many workers as it also proved first and foremost an exercise in introducing more flexibility in the private sector. It made Saturday, for example, a normal working day for many people in the private sector and squeezed pay. Now that Sarkozy wants to abolish the 35-hour week and exonerate overtime from tax and national insurance, workers will see a tremendous hike in the working week against a drop in the indirect wages of workers (in the amount of contributions from taxes and national insurance going to social service and social security), leading to the abolition or reduction of pension payments, unemployment benefit and money available to finance public services such as transport or education.
A vital piece of the Sarkozy strategy is to attack trade union power. He proposes to impose a minimum service during strikes in transport and other public services. The threat being used is to privatise or allow private business to take over part of the public services if the trade unions do not agree to the introduction of a minimum service. Connected to this proposal is the idea of obligatory ballots in companies, universities and the civil service after eight days of strike action. If a majority votes to return to work, the trade unions would lose the right to mount pickets.
Sarkozy is determined to limit the period of negotiations with the trade unions, and thus the period of officially tolerated social struggle, to six to eight months. After that, the government would have the automatic right to take decisions regardless of trade unions and social movements.
How did Sarko 'l'Americain' win?
THE SECOND ROUND of the presidential elections, like the first, was marked by a very high turnout. At 84% in both rounds it was way above comparable elections in Britain (61%) or the US (64%). This surge in voter registration and turnout was partly due to the politicisation in the banlieues (run-down suburbs) and working-class areas where many people voted against Sarkozy. In some areas, especially in the banlieues, voter registration went up by 9-10%. Many young people came out to take their revenge against Sarkozy who called the poor inhabitants 'racaille' (scum) in mid-2005, shortly before riots erupted over the death of two teenagers – they hid in a power substation when chased by the police for a random identity control. Another factor in people turning out to vote against Sarkozy was his pandering to the extreme right in trying to win over voters of the Front National.
A general mood of avoiding the result of the presidential elections in 2002 (when Le Pen beat Jospin and got into the second round) dominated the first round this year. This squeezed the vote of the radical left, especially because of the lack of a unified candidate and the lack of a post-election perspective to build a new force.
Nevertheless, the anti-Sarko mood and pressure in favour of a 'useful' vote failed to consolidate in favour of Ségolène Royal. Her lacklustre campaign, sometimes absurd proposals – that young offenders should be sent to 'humanitarian' military camps, and that everyone should have the French flag at home and celebrate 'la patrie' – and her attempt to be a 'modern' neo-liberal social democrat failed to galvanise people.
The economic policies of Royal were fundamentally the same as Sarkozy, the only difference her less aggressive approach to implementing them. The PS has never fully recovered from the debacle of the plural left government, the position a majority of the party took in favour of the EU constitution (subsequently defeated in a referendum in 2005), and its absence in the struggle against the CPE by the youth and working class in 2006.
As a demonstration of how far removed the current PS is from its position as a party perceived to represent the working class was the absence of any sizeable PS contingents on May Day demonstrations this year – a week before the final vote, and on which the mood was almost 100% anti-Sarko. When Royal visited striking Citroên workers in the Paris banlieue of d'Aulnay-sous-Bois earlier in the election campaign, her only comment was that management should negotiate with the workers. In an interview with the financial press Royal stressed that the most important thing for France was to heighten the competitiveness of industry and "stop blaming companies for making profits".
The Communist Party (PCF) vote in the first round collapsed to a mere 1.93%. The PCF promoted itself as the left-wing partner of the PS. This strategy collapsed on itself because of the memory of the plural left government (1997-2002) which privatised more than previous right-wing governments. In the present crisis there is no space for a party which talks left but, once elected, continues with the same old policies.
THE RECRIMINATIONS in the PS have started even before the June parliamentary elections. This has led some commentators to warn that a split between the 'moderate' wing and the 'militant' wing is not ruled out. What is almost certain is that there will be a change at the top. The present general secretary, François Hollande, the partner of Ségolène Royal, might be the first victim. Dominique Strauss-Kahn attacked Royal's first round strategy because it failed to attract more support from the centre.
The general direction in which the so-called elephants – the PS grandees – are heading is the same road Royal is travelling: towards a complete re-foundation to make the PS more akin to New Labour in Britain and the Democrats in the US. In the ranks of the PS there seems to be very little opposition to this. At the time of the nomination for the PS presidential candidate, the two most neo-liberal candidates, Royal and Strauss-Kahn, received 81% of the votes from the rank and file. This showed the transformation of the PS internally. Although Laurent Fabius, who also contested the race, raised a few more left-wing demands (for example, an immediate hike of the minimum wage by €100), he has been responsible for many neo-liberal policies in the past.
François Bayrou, president of the UDF (Union pour la Démocratie Française – a party of the centre), got 18.5% of the votes in the first round. He concentrated on promises to renew politics, to be neither left nor right, and to deliver an 'orange revolution'. He has since announced the creation of a new party, Mouvement Democrate (MoDem). As rainbow revolutions go, the colours seem to be fading fast. A sizeable group of MD members of parliament publicly thanked him but will be rallying to the UMP and the presidential majority in June's elections. Baryou tried to stem the haemorrhaging of his group in parliament by trying to reassure MPs who want to maintain the alliance with the right. "In the future 'Democratic Movement' there could be a rightwing", he said, only to add: "On the condition that they do not give in to making aggressive statements".
With the rightwing of the UDF leaving Bayrou to link up with Sarkozy's UMP and a potential right-wing split in the PS, a possible realignment of the political centre is posed. A new formation could be founded in which the rightwing (ie a large majority) of the PS links up with the 'centrists' of Bayrou to form a 'democratic centre'. This could be an opportunity for those in the PS who want to complete its transformation to a bourgeois party and drop any reference to socialism or the political representation of the working class.
BEING ELECTED WITH 6% more votes than Royal, Sarkozy has won a strong electoral base. His vote was the highest for a Gaullist candidate – apart from Chirac's run-off against Le Pen in 2002 – since Georges Pompidou in 1969. However, it does not guarantee him a free run nor expresses the polarisation surrounding his person and policies. According to Ipsos, the polling organisation, 18-59 year olds – those who work and pay most taxes – overwhelmingly voted for Royal. Sarkozy is president, in part, because of the unbelievably high percentage of the vote he got from pensioners. Amongst those over 70 he won 68%, with 61% of 60-69 year olds. The latest popularity poll gave Sarkozy 57%. This is lower than Chirac in 1995 who scored 67% in popularity polls in his first months in power.
The polarisation against Sarkozy was further demonstrated by the hundreds of small spontaneous demonstrations which took place throughout France minutes after the Sarkozy victory was officially recognised.
To the left of the PS only the vote for LCR (Ligue Communiste Révolutionnaire) held up. It achieved 4.08% (almost 1.5 million votes) thanks to the animated campaign of its candidate, Olivier Besancenot, who made the link between the attacks of capitalism against working-class people and youth with the necessity to prepare for struggle after the elections. The LCR has become the biggest party on the left, after the PS, and gained especially in working-class areas (obtaining between 5-10% of the votes).
Unfortunately, the need to construct a party capable of bringing together workers and youth, and directing a struggle against the next government, did not feature in the LCR's campaign. After the first round Arlette Laguiller (Lutte Ouvrière) and Besancenot closed this debate minutes after the results were known by effectively calling for a vote for Royal. Incredibly, neither of the radical left candidates connected any demands for a future Royal government in return for the votes of the anti-capitalist constituency.
The question now is how to prepare for the struggles ahead as Sarkozy moves to implement his programme? The almost two million votes for Besancenot and Laguiller shows the enormous potential which still exists for the anti-capitalist left. A sizeable anti-capitalist constituency held its ground in the face of enormous pressure for a 'useful vote', ie a vote for the PS candidate to keep Le Pen out of the second round.
The LCR has the mistaken approach that a new, broader formation will come about through a merger of existing parties and organisations. As a result of LO's slump to 1.33%, and the 1.32% for Jose Bové (an anti-globalisation activist), the LCR feels that there are no partners to start organising such a formation with. However, this disregards the millions of workers and youth who are actively looking for an instrument that could bring together the different parts of the working class which are under attack.
THE TASK OF a new formation would be to actively lead battles, bring people together and work out a political programme that connects the day-to-day struggle and demands with the socialist transformation of society. It is clear that capitalism cannot offer a solution to the workers and youth of France. The proposals of all the pro-capitalist parties are to cut living standards, increase the working week and demolish the hard fought gains of previous struggles. Workers cannot afford to see their pensions go, to travel on privatised railways or take another pay cut. Workers need public housing, decent and affordable education and job security.
Some on the left and in the trade union movement may feel that the election of Sarkozy and the threats he has made to limit the right to strike or introduce the market in higher education are not causes for worry. A feeling may exist that, as with Chirac and Alain Juppé in 1995, the rightwing will be defeated on the street. However, we need to warn that there is no guarantee that this will happen automatically. If we can learn from history, so can the French establishment. After all, it has a rich history of failing to push through neo-liberal reform, and the pressure it is under to join up with the rest of Europe and restore the competitiveness of French capitalism means it will not be left to improvisation.
Sarkozy is preparing this struggle meticulously. He is inviting 'lefts' like Bernard Kouchner, founder of Médecins sans Frontières, to become the foreign minister in his cabinet. He invited trade union leaders for talks even before officially taking power. He will try and play private-sector workers off against the public sector and use every opportunity to create divisions.
The lack of a political formation representing the working class, and offering a socialist alternative to capitalist chaos, limits the capacity of workers to fight for their own class demands. It allows politicians like Sarkozy and Royal to sell their cuts to pubic opinion and say that there is no alternative. It equally allows the leaders of the trade unions to compromise with the government and accept anti-working class measures.
In the coming struggles workers and youth need to forge their own political instrument, a party capable of leading struggles, defending immediate demands and raising our horizons. Capitalism does not know a final pay-cut, a final austerity package or a last factory closure. Its economic crisis is endemic and it will keep coming back to demand sacrifices from millions of people to safeguard the profits of a tiny minority.
One of the main tasks of a new workers' formation would be to put the question of who owns society and in whose interests society functions, back on the political agenda. Its aim needs to be to fight to overthrow capitalism and replace it with a democratically planned economy, under workers' control and management, a society which works for the millions not the millionaires: a revolutionary socialist society in which future generations can write the next pages in the history of mankind.


To start off, 19.1 lbs is the official lake record; however, fish in excess of 24 lbs have been reportedly caught by local fishermen. Starting in 2004 when we opened our doors, each season has produced phenomenal fish: 14 lb. fish, 15 lb. fish, so many fish over 10 lbs. that we lost count and good numbers of 5 to 7 lb. fish were caught. This is one hot Mexican lake. Obviously, Baccarac is back!
This beautiful lake is nestled among the forested mountain peaks of the Sierra Madres and Lake Baccarac Lodge sits at the water's edge just ten minutes away from Bacubirito, where there is a newly-paved 5200 foot runway for our clients wishing to arrive by private air.
The lodge offers nothing but the best, from the accommodations to the fishing. From the moment you are greeted by our staff upon arrival until they bid you farewell at trip's end, you are treated to the best we have to offer. We have 18 foot Crestliners with 60 hp motors, with front and rear trolling motors and depth finders.
Rooms are priced based on double occupancy. There is an extra charge for a single angler and we will take single anglers based upon our capacity.
Rods, reels and tackle furnished.Call for details.
We offer discounts for large groups. Call for details.
$600 per person to secure your reservation for commerical air arrival; $1000 per person for private air arrival. Bookings are not confirmed until deposits are received. Final payments are due 30 days prior to your departure. Forms of payment are: check, cash, MasterCard and Visa.
September through June. Although the lake offers excellent fishing on a year-round basis, we've discovered that the months outside the prime fishing window of September through June are often extremely hot or rainy.
The majority of the anglers travel to our lodge via private charter to Bacoburito, which is twenty minutes from the lodge. We have several private charter options. The private charter trips are a package price – the fishing trip and the charter air, but the charter air portion is NONREFUNDABLE and NONTRANSFERABLE.
From Phoenix, Arizona – a group of 8 anglers or 16 anglers. Pricing is dependent on group size and days fishing.
From El Paso or Midland, Texas – a group of 6 anglers. Pricing is dependent on group size, departure city and days fishing. Please call for schedule. We can accommodate a 4 night/3 day trip. 4 night/3 ½ day trip, and a 5 night/4 day trip.
Commercial flights: Clients may also fly commercially into Los Mochis, Mexico via many different cities and utilizing different airlines. It is a three-hour trip from Los Mochis to the lodge, one way. The most common connecting cities are Tucson, Phoenix, Monterrey, and Culiacan and the airline is AeroMexico. Most clients arriving commercial air arrive in Los Mochis between six and seven in the evening and depart out of Los Mochis between eight and ten in the morning and that is the our typical transportation schedule. Additional service is available for pick up in Culiacan and also Mazatlan. Additional fees may apply for pick up in Mazatlan, depending upon our schedule and the group size.
All fishing trips are transferable to another date/another angler, but they are nonrefundable, no exceptions.
We recommend you purchase trip insurance and suggest you purchase it through the trip insurance provider of your choice. This will cover flight delays, lost luggage, medical emergencies, etc.
There is an additional pickup fee for lost luggage or clients who arrive to the lodge later than scheduled, due to missing a commercial flight OR a private flight.
We will pick up clients who have missed their flights at a later time/the next day IF our transportation schedule permits.
If you are traveling to the lodge on a private flight, the private flight portion of your trip is NONREFUNDABLE and NONTRANSFERABLE to another date, no exceptions.
Reel Mexican Adventures is not responsible for any part of the trip that might be missed because of cancellations or delays of commercial or private airlines.
If you have to cancel your entire trip, you need to do so as soon as you are aware that you need to cancel it, and you will be given a credit for any portion not used and you will be notified in writing how long the credit is good. Typically, you have until the end of the next season to complete it. After that, the trip is forfeited.
Private Air can be arranged from many places in the USA and will fly directly into Bacubirito, which is 10 minutes from the lake.
Two anglers will share a room complete with air conditioner, private bathroom and filtered water. The rooms overlook the lake. Maid service is provided daily. Our economy rooms sleep three anglers to a room.
Lake Baccarac Lodge is first and foremost a fishing lodge. Activities other than fishing are very limited. Non-fishing customers will be taken based upon our capacity.
Upon receipt of deposits, you will be sent a detailed packing list and other literature, including an additional informational sheet about our lodges.
