After I was selected to exhibit at Rotterdam Photo, I made the decision to keep it simple and just show one photo. Since I prefer to work with series of photos, it was a challenge to come up with an image which was able to tell a story on it's own. The choice for one image would mean that all the attention went to the depicted person. For most of the time these images are just pictures on my screen, but now I was about the print someone, an absolute stranger to me, at a very large scale canvas. I felt responsible for the person I photographed. Would she be recognized?!
As you can probably imagine, I felt exited to see the image for the first time. It was really big, bigger than life size. People passed by walking over the pavement. It was great to see one of my own images in this street scenery, visible for every passant. The printed image will soon be in my possession and I will start looking for new opportunities to exhibit it. So if you know a good place to show it, just let me know!


Directions: From I-75 take EXIT 290/Rome/GA-20. Turn right onto Ga-20 and continue to US-411/GA-61 at the traffic light. Turn to the right onto US-411/GA-61 and travel abt 2.4 mi to Liberty Square Dr. on the right. Turn right onto Old Tennessee Rd. to get to the cemetery.
Note: The Cemetery is part of The Church at Liberty Square (Cartersville Church of God) complex 2001 Liberty Square Dr. N.E. Cartersville.

Q: Get text of elements but separate with spaces I'm grabbing text data from a webpage and when I use .text it has all the elements combined. However, I want to separate some of them with a space.
For example, I have this text:
data=['1.2TEKNA',
'AmrV12 5.2',
'']

When I do the following:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
for i in data:
    soup = BeautifulSoup(i, 'lxml')
    for d in soup:
        print(d.text)

I get:
1.2TEKNA
AmrV12 5.2

But I want the expected output:
1.2 TEKNA
Amr V12 5.2

where I get each text separated between each other.

A: You can use get_text(<sep>) method and define your custom separator as below:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

data=['1.2TEKNA',
'AmrV12 5.2',
'']

for i in data:
    soup = BeautifulSoup(i, 'lxml')
    for d in soup:
        print(d.get_text(" "))

Output:
1.2 TEKNA
Amr V12 5.2

Have you realised that due to the brutal killing of Muslims or to put it in other words, due to the increased incidents of lynchings, Muslims are feeling so insecure that their whole attention has gone towards saving their lives? Where did the question of unemployment and other social backwardness go? One can utilize the book, Denial and Deprivation as a resource to counter the myths and negative stereotypes spread by the BJP about Muslims. Hindutva forces try to instil the majority with the fear of "Hindu Khatre Mein Hai" by saying that the population of Muslims are increasing. To counter this fallacy, detailed data on the population and every aspect of the lives of Muslims have been provided in this book.
The book, Denial and Deprivation: Indian Muslims after the Sachar Committee and Rangnath Mishra Commission Reports by author Abdur Rahman, an IPS officer posted in Maharashtra, tries to evaluate the proceedings after almost a decade of the Sachar Committee Recommendation (SCR) and Rangnath Mishra Commission report (RMCR). It assesses the shaggy implementation of these two reports and provides suggestions for different issues to be solved at different government levels. It has critically examined the role of UPA 2 and the NDA government. While the UPA 2 did not give priority to the implementation of the reports, the NDA government openly adopted an anti-Muslim stand. It does not only gauge the roles played by different governments but also lay out the efforts taken and not taken by the individuals, community, media, NGOs, Muslim leaders, politicians and various other organisations. Apart from this, he has analysed almost every committee, report and organisation, set up for implementing these two reports. And the author, at various points, comes to the conclusion that even after reports after reports and committee after the committee for implementation of SCR and RMCR, the result remained zero.
He has also covered the demands of different groups which fought for seeking the attention of the government towards the recommendations, from protesting on roads to– offering flowers and chadars in dargah, everything has been covered. The parliamentary debates on these reports and the stubborn attitude of the policy makers, leaders and governments have been analysed carefully.
Most of the recommendations of Sachar have not been implemented but the author admits that on the grounds of educational reforms, scholarships have been given to the Muslims but this is also limited. This limited scholarship, Rahman argues will not bring a change in the roots of the problem.
Interestingly, the book has chapters on Urdu, Madrasa and Wakf properties. These are those topics which do not usually appear in the mainstream discourses.
He argues that a section of media in India has created a perception that madrasa education is preferred by Muslims over school education and that it encourages religious fundamentalism and a sense of alienation from the mainstream. Rahman argues that these perceptions have been created in the absence of statistical data and supporting evidence. Though this proportion is as low as 9 to 10 per cent, Muslims want to send their children to schools for secular education but lack the opportunities. He lists many more reasons for this. He has tried to deal with the conspiracy to defame madrasa.
The book reveals many unauthorised occupations by governments and agencies. Some of the facts about wakf which made headlines in the media a couple of years ago has been given space in the book. He has given examples of many public places which are built on Wakf lands like the Millennium Indraprastha Park is built on Qabristan Ahle Islam land. The archaeological survey of India has also encroached upon dozens of graveyards in the capital alone. He criticises the authorities for adopting anti-Muslim stands by stating that these Wakf lands are made a hub of anti-social elements and all the wrong activities are allowed except Namaz.
The book will help those who are still confused between the two reports. He has clearly drawn the differences between the two reports and the strength and weaknesses of both the reports. It reminds us of the responses of different groups of society towards these reports, particularly the Hindutva forces. Pravin Togadiya went to the extent of calling the RMCR as anti-national and anti-Hindu. Shiv Sena also threatened agitation if the government thought of implementing this report and even asked the then PM to throw it to the dustbin.
The author critically examines the roles of the regional Muslim base parties which demanded the implementation but his question is- 'what did THEY do'?
Discourse on 'Minority' in the book begins with giving a dictionary meaning of the word to the condition of Minorities and reports released to understand the status of Minorities all over the world, connecting it with the discussion of Constitution of India containing the articles to secure the rights of religious minorities.
The book shatters away all the myths about any special favour or appeasement which the Hindutva forces kept on insisting, in fact, the figures indicate marginalisation and suffering of Muslims.
Appreciating Muslims, the author says that one positive thing in the last decade is that the attention of Muslims has shifted from religious and sentimental issues to educational and social upliftment.
Rahman ends the myth of "Hindu Khatre Mein Hai" and that there is a rapid rise in Muslim population. He has presented data in this regard and also argues that family planning is not something against the spirit of Islam. Though he has supported his arguments with some examples but does not engage with the religious texts directly in the same way as many other Muslim scholars in India have been doing. Most of these scholars do not give their own interpretation of their religion but tend to look into others' argument.
Among many suggestions, one of the biggest suggestions of the author is that it needs to be recognised that there are SCs and STs within the Muslim community. He suggests that the government should go for a caste-based census to find out the exact share of OBCs, Dalits and Tribals among the Muslims. He has also touched upon the hot discussion of caste-based reservation within the Muslim community. He argues that Indian Muslims are not a monolithic group; in terms of social structures, it consists of three groups- Ashrafs, Ajlafs and Arzals.
Identifying some lapses on part of the community, the author criticises Muslims for spending crores on Mushairas, Ijtimas and Iftar parties. He suggests that this heavy amount can be utilised in many community development works. Discussion of 'Abundant talent' and 'individual initiatives' will prove to be a step forward in motivating the youths of this community. It will instil the feeling of community development and self-reliance in the 'real' leaders to do more works of welfare at their own, instead of relying wholly on Govts.
Apart from the above mentioned data about Muslim representation in Administration, he has also provided facts regarding the representation of Muslims in judiciary and Indian Army.
He criticises the government for wasting energy and time on the surveillance of Madrasas, instead, Rahman suggests that it should focus more on mainstream education to the children of Muslim community. He appreciates the community and individual initiatives towards skill development of madrasa pass outs. "Ulama are seriously considering to go for modernisation because they want to fight against the charges of stagnation and status quoism against them", says Rahman. Demand for paying salary at par with the teachers of the mainstream school to madrasa teachers is raised in this book.
The author shows evidence that Muslims are living with pathetic job conditions and standard of living. Lack of drinking water facilities, latrine facilities and garbage disposal facilities to Muslims which are all related to the health and hygiene, are contributing to and witness further marginalisation.
His knowledge seems to be up to date as most of the references he has cited are from online sources. Despite being in the service, criticising the authorities is an act of courageousness and valour.
Name any Muslim related issue in the post Sachar era and you will find it in this book. But on women, he only tells that their relatively less education is due to many communal sensitive areas where they live and because their education is not given importance. The book which promises to map out the socio-economic and educational condition of Indian Muslims cannot afford to ignore half of its population because the 'Muslims' consists of women too. Therefore, this book will disappoint every gender sensitive reader. Any of the Muslim women issues has not been dealt with and discussed in the book.
The book Denial and Deprivation, however, paves the way for those who want to work on Muslim issues in India. There is no doubt that it will be used widely for reference by the students, academicians and journalists. The book is written in a very simple language which can be understood by general readers.

Angelina Jolie Slams Jennifer Aniston, Says Marriage To Justin Theroux Won't Last!
BY Jeanne Adams on September 6, 2012 | Comments: 4 comments
Related : Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Hot Celebs, Hot News, Jennifer Aniston, Justin Theroux, Love & Sex
Did you really think Angelina Jolie was going to stay quiet while newly engaged Jennifer Aniston got her happy on again? Well… she probably did but that's not what Star magazine's reporting! Apparently in the Jolie-Pitt household, Angie can't keep her trap shut about Jen's engagement and is taking her jealous hate out on her mother-in-law. Poor Jane Pitt. She must have a panic attack every time she visits her grandkids. But she should have dropped Jen just as fast as Brad did!
"Since Angie can't say anything straight to Jen's face, Jane is the next best thing," an insider told Star. "After Jane offhandedly mentioned how thrilled she was for Jen, Angie said, 'Please! She's pathetic! But, hey, it's about time. Sure hope it lasts, but don't get your hopes up. Justin's going to dump Jen. Then Angie made some snide comments about how she'd believe it when she saw it, in regards to Jen's wedding — making it clear that she thinks Jen is a pathetic, neurotic mess."
God bless the tabloids. They won't stop until Jennifer and Angelina throw on some white T-shirts and pull each other's hair out in a mud wrestling pit. So let's have some gossip buffet and pick and choose what we want to believe out of this. I bet Angie can be b-tch sometimes to Brad Pitt's mom. Politically, they have issues and it's got to be awkward knowing your mother-in-law was upset when your man ditched his ex-wife for you. But that was like eight years ago! I'm sure Jane's over it by now! The engagement and soccer team of kids had to have softened the blow.
And do you think Angie rips on Jen? I like to think she's above it but I also like to think I'm above a lot of things that I'm not so I wouldn't put it past her. Who among you hasn't looked up your husband's ex-girlfriends or spouses on facebook? Don't bullsh-t a bullsh-tter. We've all done it. It's fun. It's silly. It's harmless. It's natural. I bet Angie does have an interest. But did she say the nasty, c-nty things that Star alleges? Probably not. Remember, Jen is happy and content, therefore Angelina has to be angry and bitter and insecure about Brad going back to her. For some reason this balances the world.
But… if Angelina did say those things, do you think she had a point? Do you see Jen actually going through with the marriage?

Q: Prime ideals of height less than the dimension Let $A$ be a noetherian local ring with maximal ideal $\mathfrak{m}$ of height $d$, and suppose $\mathfrak{p}_1, \ldots, \mathfrak{p}_s$ are prime ideals of height $i - 1 < d$. It's quite clear that each $\mathfrak{p}_j$ is a proper subset of $\mathfrak{m}$, but why is $\bigcup_j \mathfrak{p}_j$ also a proper subset of $\mathfrak{m}$? In the case $s = 2$ this can be reduced to the fact that the union of two ideals is an ideal if and only if one contains the other, but this doesn't generalise for $s > 2$.
Background. This claim appears in my lecturer's proof that $A$ has an $\mathfrak{m}$-primary ideal generated by $d$ elements. I think the proof can be rewritten to avoid using this claim, but the claim on its own seems interesting enough.

A: If the union of primes equals $\mathfrak{m}$, then $\mathfrak{m}$ is contained in their union and by using the prime avoidance lemma it must be contained in one of these primes, contradiction.

Recently, during one of our unbearably hot days, my preschool-aged son and I watched movies all afternoon while snuggling in bed. We may have set a couch potato record, but I don't feel guilty. We had nothing important to do and nowhere that we had to be. It was the quintessential lazy summer day, and we had a blast.
With fall just around the corner, I've got mixed emotions about school starting again. Although it will be nice to no longer have to plan 12-hour stretches of entertainment ("Sure, we can play 'ghost hunters in the closet' for the seventeenth time!"), this anxiety-prone, commit-aholic mom is dreading the return of schedules and stress.
If only we could bottle those tender parental feelings summer brings—the joy of teaching your child how to dive into the pool, the pleasure of devouring ice cream cones together on the porch, or the peacefulness of taking post bedtime walks through the neighborhood—and experience them all year long. Sadly, those relaxing moments of camaraderie seem to grow scarce once the school bus reappears.
This year, I've vowed, will be different. Instead of crouching in our kiddie pool in a state of paralysis, I'm taking steps now to make my family's transition to the school year as smooth as a piña colada. I encourage you to join me.

Nor do I do so myself, at least not willingly.
Why kill time and not seize it?
And neither a thing to ever touch, hold or see.
And that ongoing internal monologue.
Looking in without looking out.
And silence me for so long.


In order to continue my "Amalfi series", one day we took a boat to Capri and spent the whole day exploring the island.
Capri is a small island close to Naples and Amalfi coast and if you ever visit those places – Capri is a MUST!
The easiest and the only (therefore not so cheap) way to get there is by boat. No matter where you are staying (Naples, Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi) there are boats departing from every town, their schedule is quite frequent too, so you should not worry about that. The boat ride took us around half an hour.
Let me just say one thing about this island: It is ridiculously beautiful, but ridiculously crowded and overpriced as well!
As soon as we disembarked the boat, we found ourselves in a nice small harbour with colorful houses.One of the main attractions of the island – village called Capri, is on the top of it and on the other side of the island. You can walk up the hill for about 20 minutes or take a ride – we chose walking, of course! The path took us through harbour town all the way up to Capri town. That part of the island reminded me of Greece (because of the houses) and of some Caribbean island (because of the tropical plants) at the same time.
As soon as we came to the top, that Greece – Caribbean vibe was filled in by luxurious hotels, bars, restaurants and designer stores. The streets take you through town to the gardens called "Giardini di Augusto". That's wehere you come to the most famous viewing point in the whole island – the Capri cliffs in all their majesty.
If I ever come back to Amafi coast (which I definitely will haha), I would probably visit Capri again. Even though we've seen the most of the island, I am sure there are still some amazing spots we've missed and they will have to wait for my next visit.

Q: Application of PIE Let $A_1, . . . , A_m$ be sets such that $|A_i| = n$ and $A_i \bigcap A_j$ = ∅ for $i \ne j$.
Find the number of sequences of elements from $\bigcup A_i$ which have the
following properties: (1) Every element from $\bigcup A_i$ appears exactly once
in the sequence and (2) For every $i = 1, . . . m$, the elements of $A_i$ are
not consecutive.

A: The case where $n=2$ is indeed solvable with PIE.
Let $B_j$ be the sequences such that the two elements of $A_j$ are consecutive.

For each $k=1,\ldots,m$:$$\begin{align}|\text{Any intersection of $k$ of the $B$'s}|&=\left|B_1\cap\cdots\cap B_k\right|\\&=(2m-k)!\times 2^k\end{align}$$

because we can consider those $A_1,A_2,\ldots,A_k$ as blocks of 2 first and permute the blocks, and then multiply by 2 for each pair which can be reordered.

$$\left|\bigcup_j B_j\right|=\sum_{k=1}^m(-1)^{k-1}{m\choose k}\left|B_1\cap\cdots\cap B_k\right|$$
$$\text{Ans}=(2m)!-\left|\bigcup_j B_j\right|=\sum_{k=0}^m(-1)^k{m\choose k} 2^k(2m-k)!$$
On the linked question there is a formula for the case $m=3$ (that formula must be multiplied by $n!^3$. For verification, both formulae give $240$ when $n=2$ and $m=3$. But I think we have not found a general formula for this when $n,m$ are arbitrary.

A: Possible first step:
First choose the number of ways to set which indices are allocated to each set.
Then multiply by ${n!}^m$ to permute the elements of each set.

Climb Every Mountain
Year 5 student Patrick Horan has completed one of the world's hardest hikes, trekking more than 140km to the 5300m-high Everest Base Camp in the September holidays.
The 12-day high-altitude hike was almost a year in the planning for 10-year-old Patrick, who spent almost every weekend training for the trek with hikes around South-East Queensland's peaks such as Mt Maroon and the Glasshouse Mountains.
The trip is one of the hardest hikes in the world, not only due to the distance but because the lack of air pressure at average altitudes of more than 4000m means there is only 50 per cent of the oxygen that there is at sea level.
Patrick and his father Matthew, who has climbed throughout the Himalaya and New Zealand, followed a careful acclimatisation schedule to ensure they did not suffer acute mountain sickness, which can lead to collapse and death. They ascended from 2800m to almost 5400m – although with the ups and downs the total vertical gain was more than 6500m! Temperatures were as low as -5C, with Patrick even wearing chemical hand and foot warmers at the higher altitudes to prevent frostbite.
"The trip was Patrick's idea," Matthew said. "He saw the pictures from my last Himalayan expedition and wanted to experience the high mountains for himself.
"There was a real feeling of achievement for him when he arrived at Everest Base Camp after eight straight days of walking – he realised that he had set himself a goal and worked really hard to achieve it. And from a parent's perspective, 12 days alone with your son and no screens is a terrific bonding experience, not to mention all the the weekend hikes we spent together training."
Patrick said: "The hardest bit of walking was the day we walked into Base Camp. We had done a lot of walking but I had never walked more than 14km in one go before in my life. I pushed myself to the limit and now I know what I'm capable of.
"When we got to Base Camp I was just blown away with our achievement – I was tired but we got there.
"Base Camp is mostly uninhabited, on a glacier with no plants near it. The only living things are humans and some yaks to deliver supplies.
"It was right in the middle of a sort of bowl, surrounded by some of the world's biggest mountains.
"Some of the best views in the world can be found on the trek, but it took us a few days to see them because we were walking in rain, fog and then snow.
"I really want to do some more trips like that, back in Nepal or maybe even Mt Kilimanjaro in Africa."
And while most Base Camp trekkers stake a picture at the bottom of the mountain and turn around, Patrick was surprised with a lunch at the Madison Mountaineering expedition thanks to Sherpa legend Dorjee Gyalzen, who has climbed Everest 19 times.
The trip was the first time Patrick had been overseas since he was three, and there was significant culture shock.
"Everyone there is either Buddhist or Hindu and I found out quite a lot about their religions," he said.
"In the Khumbu Valley, which is a mostly Buddhist area, there were lots of monasteries, giant mani stones carved with prayers, and prayer wheels you spin clockwise along the trail.
"Most of the time I ate rice and potato, as well as a lot of daal bhat, which is a lentil soup with rice and poppadums. We ate a lot every day because we were walking so much."
The trip was organised as a private trek through Himalayan Expeditions, a Kathmandu-based logistics company which usually runs expeditions to Everest and other 8000m peaks.
Patrick and Matthew had their own guide and porter, which allowed them to modify the itinerary based on weather and – towards the end – exhaustion!
Patrick is now planning his next trip back to Nepal – hopefully in two years' time when he hopes to convince some of his classmates to bring their parents along.

From what I can inform, others come across this idea by doing Web searches for home companies, because ultimately this qualifies as such if you, like I do, run it out of your house and construction it as a Sole Proprietorship. The advantage of a small business like home clearance is you can avoid costly advertising costs by advertising your services in native publications and at local venues.
Often a house or constructing it completely covered, and chemicals are set off contained in the enclosed atmosphere, just like a big circus tent, and the gases inside are imagined to kill anything inside, including people and pets, so that's still an important part of the job, making sure no one is inside, when the gases go off.

The most intriguing visionaries in Detroit, at least the ones who drew me to the city, were those who imagine growing food among the ruins—chard and tomatoes on vacant lots (there are over 103,000 in the city, 60,000 owned by the city), orchards on former school grounds, mushrooms in open basements, fish in abandoned factories, hydroponics in bankrupt department stores, livestock grazing on former golf courses, high-rise farms in old hotels, vermiculture, permaculture, hydroponics, aquaponics, waving wheat where cars were once test-driven, and winter greens sprouting inside the frames of single-story bungalows stripped of their skin and re-sided with Plexiglas—a homemade greenhouse. Those are just a few of the agricultural technologies envisioned for the urban prairie Detroit has become.
Dowie examines a few interesting proposals and checks in with several burgeoning urban-farming movements in the city, from nonprofits and schools to the "backyard garden boom" being spurred by immigrants from Laos and Bangladesh.

I can bet you it won't be the native detroiters working on these "farms." It will be Mexicans willing to work for 1/10th the wage of the native Detroiters. Farming is not a solution to Detroit's problems! Trading with near slave labor countries is!


To watch the Next Food Network Star!!! (Kelsey rocked our world AGAIN, and Jennifer, you're a sweetheart but, I'm not crying to my dolls about your departure.) After watching the show and yelling at the TV, THEN, naturally I wanted a nice, hot shower. Soapy suds, bubbling warm water, my favorite green loofah!
But no dice people. NO DICE. There was NO HOT WATER.
Oh, Alison, you're so dramatic, it was probably just lukewarm, right?
No! NO HOT WATER. As in, you turn the handle with the "H" on it and no water comes out. Only the "C" water worked. I did not want "C" water! I needed "H" water! It was tragic. I could not get in that cold shower.
Judge if you will, but Eric and I decided to wait it out, sleep dirty, (heh heh) and shower in the morning in hopes that there would be a hot shower to welcome us to civilization when we woke up.
No such luck. "C" "C" "C".
So what did I do? What any girl would do, I sucked it up, splashed some water on my face and spritzed on some extra perfume.
Haha, seriously? No. That would be so bad. I didn't even pack deodorant. I'm a minimalist! We are talking CAKED SWEAT and dirt. So I took a freaking freezing cold shower, gasping and yelling the whole time. Which, I'm sure Eric appreciated, seeing as how he was trying to sleep not more than 15 feet away. And I had to wash my hair too, duh, so that made the whole thing extra fun.
Anyway, I was WIDE AWAKE for staff meeting this morning.
By way of update, we had a FANTASTIC time at Havasupai. It was so beautiful, and fabulous, we hiked, we jumped off rocks into waterfalls, we got Chaco tan lines. It was surreal. I will post pictures, perhaps tomorrow. But first I have to spend some QT in Photoshop turning my body back to how it looked right before I got married. Yes, that was only three months ago but a girls gotta eat. Muahaha.
And, as by way of another update, if you aren't sick of hearing about how AWESOME my wedding was…it was featured on one of my favorite wedding blogs called Snippet and Ink. They posted some really nice pictures of it and some good details. If that's not enough incentive, they also posted a REALLY dorky picture of me, being me. It's like the third post down. So far I have "11 Comments." I judge my self worth based on number of comments, (a joke and then again, not a joke?) so feel free to post more. Or feel free to say, ALISON YOUR WEDDING IS OVER MOVE ON! Cause I won't listen.
Bless you all for being so pretty. And pray for "H" water.
ahh!! spoiler! i haven't watched last night's yet. dang.
i did that to someone when christian siriano won project runway, and this is much less of a big deal. now i will go home and watch it.
This is when a gym membership comes in handy. Drive to 24 hour fitness, shower in the women's locker room! I wouldn't have been able to go to sleep… I hate getting in bed when I'm sweaty and gross. Can't wait to see pics of your trip.
I'm worried about you, and the C water. No one deserves that kind of torture. Let me bake you a Namaste cake, via Lex. Call her up to make you feel better with a delicious Namaste cake until you get some H water.
You guys can walk down the block and use my shower if you need to. Not together! Sheesh!

The Buzzing Hornets
No one has really noticed but the Charlotte Hornets are one of the hottest teams in the NBA right now. Winners of 9 out of the last 10 games they are making a run at the Miami Heat and Atlanta Hawks to secure a home court advantage in the first round of the playoffs.
After missing the playoffs last year, the Hornets front office set out to get more shooting on the floor. They moved Lance Stephenson to the Clippers for Spencer Hawes, drafted Frank Kaminsky from the University of Wisconsin a 36.9% three-point shooter in college to bring in some stretch bigs. They traded for future free agent small forward Nicolas Batum and signed Jeremy Lin to back up Kemba Walker. All of these moves were a sign of them shifting their focus to shoot more three pointers. Last season the Hornets averaged 19 three point attempts a game finishing in the bottom third of the league. This season they are third in the league attempting 29 threes a game and making 35.9% of them.
In this scorching hot stretch, they are shooting 41.1% from three and averaging 10 points more a game at 113.8 points. Although their focus has drifted to the three-point line, they still have the ability to post the ball when they bring Al Jefferson off the bench.
In the plays below, Jefferson's ability to command the attention of help defenders opens more scoring opportunities for the Hornets. In the first play Jefferson gets posted up, Lin comes over to the wing, his defender jumps into the paint. Jefferson immediately kicks it out to Lin who passes it right back to Jefferson who scores on a jump hook. In a similar play late in the game with the shot clock winding down Jefferson sees Walker's man coming to double team him, he kicks it out to Walker for a three.
The real engine of the Hornets is Kemba Walker who is having his best season in the NBA. He's improved in nearly every category, going from averaging 17 points a game last season to 21.4 this year, and improving his three point shooting from 30% to 38.3% this season. In this 10 game stretch he's shooting 45.9% from 3 while averaging 26 points a game and 6.5 assists. In the two plays below, Walker blows by his defender in the first one, and then has Dragic spinning like a top before drilling a deep three.
The Hornets are not just a two-man team Batum is the playmaker they hoped they had in Lance Stephenson, in the action below he creates an easy basket for Jefferson on the pick-and-roll late in the game against the Heat.
The Hornets have a good amount of depth as well. Jeremy Lin comes in to back up Walker but also has the ability to play with him at the same time to easy the ball handling responsibilities off of Walker. Marvin Williams is having a career year from three shooting 40% and filling the role of the stretch big for them. They also made a midseason trade for Courtney Lee who is a solid three and D player shooting 43.6% from deep since the trade.
With the race in the East still extremely tight, Charlotte can finish anywhere from third to sixth. No matter where they finish they are reaping the rewards for the decisions they made in the offseason to focus more on three point shooting. The Hornets are beginning to take the shape of a team that no one in the East is going to want to play in the playoffs.

VON Radio celebrates its 32nd anniversary
Post author:sisterisles
Post category:Local
That has been the Eastern Caribbean's Powerhouse, VON Radio's motto for many years and as the Voice of Nevis (VON) Radio, celebrates its 32nd anniversary on Thursday June 18th 2020, this marks another significant milestone for the institution.
Back in 1988, history was made with the establishment of the island's first radio station on June 18th. The VON Radio idea was conceived two years earlier by BVI Nevisian resident and Founder of Von Radio, Mr. Merritt Herbert (deceased).
Mr. Herbert visited Nevis and at the time, some heavy rains caused the ghauts to overflow and made the roads impassable in some areas. He asked a taxi driver how the public was alerted in cases like this.
His reply was "Nevis is the only place without a radio station, so we have to make out how we can". Consequently, Mr. Herbert met with then Minister of Communications, the Hon. Ivor Stevens (deceased). In this brief meeting, they discussed the idea of establishing a radio station on Nevis. After another informal meeting with Mr. Stevens, Herbert expressed his desire to establish such a venture, indicating that he had also spoken to Premier, the Hon. Simeon Daniel.
The permits to set up the radio station's frequency were sought and received from the St. Kitts-Nevis Government and the International Body, in Geneva. Construction on the actual building began in early 1988. The Broadcast Equipment was imported and the date was set for the grand opening on June 18th 1988.

"Precious Child, your cries have been heard to the heights of heaven, itself. Without knowing what has been said through the speaking of tongues, you have spoken many perfect prayers. You have called forth miracles and healings, of which you know nothing. You have put stumbling blocks before the Adversary and those, who love him; but your consciousness nothing of this. You have seen a lesion in your lung, which you did not know about, and this will be healed within 30 days.
Child, you have begged to continue to be a bearer of My messages, even though you know your fate, and the fates of many, like you. You have been given great hardships in this life, that you would be ready to carry the weight of My word; for such a job is not for the weak. You have seen your destiny in the physical realm that you not enter this work blindly. But, remember that I am always with you, even amidst great persecution."
"My Lord, help me to see with your eyes and to view the evil-doers with compassion; for it is so hard for me to tolerate evil toward another living thing."
"You have been told to stand against evil; but a time comes when some must lay down their lives for principles of righteousness. These know their journey; for I do not send Mine in blindsided."
"I ask only for a triple dose of Your strengths, of Your love and compassion."
"Child, this is not too much to ask, and shall be forthcoming. You ascend My stairway one step at a time."
"My Lord, when I went to the lung doctor last year, was this lesion present?"
"Child, this lesion has been present for years, but ignored. Doctors consider these harmless and will ignore them until you have full-blown cancer."
"Then, what good are doctors to someone like me?"
"Little, for large numbers love a lie; and they support one another in lies, even into hell. Most all love money and what it can buy. This seen, be the wiser."
"I have lived through the depths of their darkness!"
"Child, Let us continue. You see that you have been called back to My Mountain upon the wings of My Spirit. You have more questions about Peter and the hobo-clown image. I have shown you much about these images, but there is more. The hobo-clown image serves three purposes: 1. To beg you; 2. To warn you; 3. To forecast or predict."
"I see that he was begging me to drink of the liquid diamonds, Your word."
"Warning you to drink often of the Spirit, lest you be as a vagabond, a hobo, in a world gone awry. Do not forsake My Spirit on a Sunday or any other day."
"Yes, My Lord, but what about the forecast?"
"The forecast, Child, is of the USA as a clown, a hobo, destitute around the world, begging."
"I knew that this was much more than surface appearances; but, I would have never grasped all. Thank you, My Lord."
"Yes, My Lord, I am very interested in this timeline."
"I am suspended in these radiant, white light energies of Your upper room; and I sit at the desk, though this is somewhat difficult, as my spirit wishes to float. I take the quill and place a drop of living water on the page of time; and it pops and cracks as it hits the page. From amidst a smoky haze, a clear image of Queen Elizabeth emerges. She is riding in a black car with Bill Clinton. The car pulls to a stop at a curb and Bill Clinton leaves the car from the side opposite the curb. The piece of the Queen's dress (as noted in a previous vision) is seen protruding from his partially zipped fly as he waves to the shouting crowds. The Queen gets exits the car on the opposite side.
'Come, Bill, let us go,' the Queen motions to Bill Clinton. Then, the two of them hurriedly enter a door, which leads into a subterranean complex; and they disappear from public eye. Once inside, they follow the hallway and enter a room, where documents are drawn up, waiting to be signed. These documents bear the signatures of many; and right away, I see that of Henry Kissinger. The two sign the documents, and Clinton curtsies to the Queen. She looks about with a scowl, but Bill Clinton wears the ever-smile.
My Lord, I am searching for the name of this document; but the Queen is eager to get it into her purse. On the top of the agreement, I see 'Limited Arms Agreement,' in bold print; and beneath this title in smaller print is written, 'Directional Sales Computational Forfeiture.' This is definitely 'Greek' to me."
"Child, what does the small print mean to you?"
"My Lord, it looks like a lot of double talk."
"This is the problem, Child; it means nothing."
"If it means nothing, why the agreement?"
"Toward some direction or destination."
"So, it is the sale of something toward some destination?"
"Yes, indeed. Do you see 'Limited Arms Agreement?"
"Yes, My Lord. So, this is about the sale of arms for a certain destination?"
"Child, what destination do you see?"
"My Lord, I see the coat of arms of The Royalty."
"Then, Child, 'tis so, to The Royalty."
"But, My Lord, why the words, 'computational forfeiture?'"
"Child, does this seem verbose?"
"Is it meaningful to you?"
"Not that I can see, unless there is a sale, made to look like there is not a sale."
"Exactly, one made to look like it is not a sale."
"My Lord, Clinton still has the piece of royalty hanging from his fly."
'So, there is something weird going."
"Child, more than you will ever know; but be advised in advance that this will happen."
"My Lord, show me this time."
"What could he sell the Queen in 2001? Will we not be defeated as a country?"
"In most ways, but not all."
"Well, if we have anything left, why would he give anything to her?"
"Who are they up against?"
"But, My Lord, what goes wrong?"
"Clinton is double dealing, and he is seen as the traitor he has been all along."
"So, Clinton will be around in 2001?"
"But, I thought that Hussein would have finished off Clinton by then."
"Child, you will have begun to feel the great sting of your invaders, and the truth will be known about the Germans. But, remember: Clinton is a coward, who wishes to play both sides against the middle. The bad thing is that he is the middle."
"So, prior to this time, these oppressors will let him have some dominion over the USA."
"But, how much of the USA will remain?"
"Child, you will be hit hard at first and brought under UN control. Clinton is involved in this plan, and he believes that they only plan to get your guns; but the war gets out of control. Clinton does not realize the German plan to rule the world or to crash the stock market; for he has been duped. You have seen Clinton in the White House for a while, even while the black horse is firing upon the White House."
"And, who is this black horse, which is unmanned?"
"Look on the rear of the horse."
"It says, 'Saddam Hussein and Co.' My Lord, there is a red horse beside the White House and beside the horse is the red flag with the half moon and star. Who owns this flag?"
"So, the Chinese flag flies?"
"Yes, indeed, red communist to the core! This red will be felt through and through, as these people deal a crushing blow to the USA."
"So, the Chinese will come in at first?"
"You have them in your country, already."
"Then, Clinton shall make it until 2001?"
"See bullets riddle his body?"
"Will anyone be elected after him?"
"Child, not until my return will your land see freedom again."
"Oh, My Lord, I am deeply saddened by this. Times have been plentiful and we have grown in freedom, but as you say it has been the wheat with the tares".
"Child, take the quill, and place a drop of living water of the page of time."
"My Lord, I have done so; and I see something, which looks like a streak of lightening, course the page rapidly."
"My Lord, I see Wall Street closed. Is this permanently, or for a while only?"
"Child, operating one half day. Look how your market has fallen."
"My Lord, I see it down past 2000, with much bleakness. I see long lines of people waiting for food stamps and rations and each has the pants of his pockets turned out to show that he has no money. I see airplanes, parked at the terminals and businesses working only partial days. Across the top of The New York Times it reads, 'Wall Street at all time low.' My Lord, when is this?"
"See, Child, fall of 1998."
"My Lord, I see the leaves dropping from the trees. The date is Oct. 10, 1998. But, the Market has been dropping steadily for months."
"Child, the owners of your press have played up scares; as they want the USA to fall before the Earth flips."
"Child, these believe that when the Earth flips, you will see a great spiritual awakening; and they wish to catch you unawares in the height of your decadence."
"My Lord, I ask for further confirmation on this time line of the Earth's flipping."
"I have it, My Lord; and I proceed to place a drop of the liquid on the page, where it pops and cracks, and a large planet emerges, which is several times the size of Earth. How much larger, My Lord?"
"See, Child, one, two, three, and some smaller ones, which appear as large rocks."
"How close will this planet come to the Earth?"
"Eight to ten million miles."
"My Lord, how can we be deceived about this planet?"
"Child, who controls your media?"
"Those, who love illusion and deceit."
"But, it seems that something of this magnitude would get out."
"Child, it will. A few months before the passing."
"Feb., 2000. Go and compare this with the date given to you previously."
"Remember, Child, you have been told in advance that the Earth will flip. Advice: Get away from oceans and great mountainous areas. Prepare an underground shelter inland; for the winds shall be in excess of 300mph. Tornadoes and hurricanes shall roar for two to three months afterward. Now, Child, take a break. I am Jesus. I am Jehovah, Most High God of Earth."

By Rachelle Lewis
Fans will finally get answers regarding the connection between Hilary and Amanda on The Young and the Restless. Pic credit: CBS
The Young and the Restless spoilers for next week's episodes of the CBS soap opera tease the fallout of the Kanas killing takes over and the past rears its ugly head.
Genoa City is full of drama as several residents attempt to begin again, while others are put on the defense to protect their loved ones.
It is more of the same with the daytime drama. The good news is Y&R appears to be setting fans up for an exciting fall that will bring a slew of twists and turns.
Adam, Adam, Adam
Adam's (Mark Grossman) loved ones are desperate to save him from himself after he relives killing AJ Montalvo. The fallout of what happened in Kansas causes Adam to continue to spiral out of control.
Victor (Eric Braeden) is already at odds with Nick (Joshua Morrow), Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and is jeopardizing his marriage to Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott). He is determined to clear the air with Victoria, but she is her father's stubborn daughter.
Plus, the business mogul takes a huge risk for Adam, and it just might cost him the rest of his family.
Sharon (Sharon Case) is determined to help Adam come to terms with his childhood trauma. However, Rey (Jordi Vilasuso) tells Sharon to be cautious. It is Adam, after all, and she is in the middle of battling cancer.
Perhaps a visit from her son Noah (Robert Adamson), who pops up to check on his mom, will help Sharon let go of being Adam's savior.
Get our The Young and the Restless newsletter!
Rey isn't the only one issuing warnings. Nikki has words with Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan) regarding Adam and the toll his secret is taking on the Newman family. Chelsea's primary concern is Adam and their son, Connor (Judah Mackey), so she doesn't react too kindly to Nikki's warning.

The stress of continuously worrying about Adam gets to Chelsea by the end of the week. Sh begins to snap and unravel, which is not good for her family.
Even Chance (Donny Boaz) gets involved in the quest to save Adam. He covers for his friend, much to the dismay of Abby (Melissa Ordway). Chance's friendship with Adam is a sore topic for the new couple, and that won't change any time soon.
Shaking the past and looking toward the future
Nick and Victoria are looking toward the future as the rest of the Newman family attempts to shake the past.

Victoria mixes business with pleasure when she gets flirty with Theo (Tyler Johnson). Nick continues to defend his choice to have a future with Phyllis (Michelle Stafford), and he is getting tired of it.
A shocking discovery by Nate (Sean Dominic) impacts his budding relationship with Amanda (Mishael Morgan). Could what Nate uncovers have something to do with Amanda's connection to Hilary (Mishael Morgan)?
The truth regarding Hilary and Amanda comes out. Plus, Amanda makes a life-changing decision. There is a good chance these two things are connected, but fans will have to tune in next week to find out!

RUBY'S PRECIOUS MOMENTS
CAPTURE AND CELEBRATE LIFE IN EVERY MOMENT POSSIBLE.

BLACKPINK calls for fans' support in climate action movement
Globe ambassadors BLACKPINK have lent their voices to the call for climate action. During the recent UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland, the Korean mega-group addressed global leaders and audiences to come together in taking action in the ongoing fight against climate change.
In a video message presented during COP26, BLACKPINK's members JISOO, JENNIE, ROSÉ, and LISA urged their fans and the younger generation to take a stand and act against the most critical issue affecting everyone.
"Climate change is an established fact. We have learned of the devastating changes to nature, to the global weather, and the air we breathe. And the changes that we feared are already beginning to transform our planet. We have learned that we must act now. Urgently, to prevent much, much, worse," the group said.
They noted the possible severe impacts on people and nature, with a third of the population being regularly exposed to extreme heat, which may lead to drought, health problems, and death. Almost all warm-water coral reefs would also be destroyed, and sea ice would melt and devastate wildlife.
"We do not want to get there. The important thing is that we all take responsibility because it just won't be achieved without collective action. Let's work together for our planet and take climate action in your area," BLACKPINK concluded.
Yoly Crisanto, Globe Chief Sustainability Officer and SVP for Corporate Communications said, "We are very pleased to share the same advocacy as our brand ambassadors, BLACKPINK. We at Globe have long been advocates of climate action, with our commitment to the Race to Zero movement to achieve Net Zero GHG emissions by 2050 and limit global warming to 1.5 degrees celsius, as aligned with the Paris Agreement."
In June 2021, Globe became the first and only publicly-listed Philippine company listed by the Science-Based Target initiative (SBTi) to commit to Business Ambition for 1.5 degrees Celsius and has officially joined as a participant of the Race to Zero.
Race To Zero is spearheaded by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and COP26 Presidency and backed by GSMA. It aims to lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to Net Zero no later than 2050 through the collective efforts of leaders, businesses, cities, regions, and investors worldwide. Globe's commitment to establishing science-based targets and net-zero GHG emissions by 2050 is in line with the Paris Agreement and #RacetoZero Campaign.
Globe has already started its shift towards renewable energy, with 13 key facilities operating on 100% renewable energy. In addition, it has deployed over 7,400 green network solutions to achieve energy and resource efficiency in its cell sites nationwide. It has also implemented high standards of environmental management and stewardship through its ISO 14001-certified Environmental Management System to reduce its impact on the environment. The company is also aiming for an ISO 50001 Energy Management System certification for its key facilities by 2022.
The digital solutions platform has been doing its part in the fight against climate change through sustainable business processes and an established active strategy towards reducing both its short-term and long-term emissions.
Recently these efforts have been internationally recognized by GSMA, the largest global consortium of mobile networks. GSMA's newly created COP26 Digital Hub has included Globe's decarbonization journey as a case study.
Globe strongly supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly UN SDG No. 13, which underscores the importance of climate action to save lives and livelihoods to address climate emergencies. Globe is committed to upholding the UN Global Compact principles and contributing to 10 UN SDGs.

November 21, 2018 November 22, 2018 by Rosedeer
30 years later: the election that shaped Canada in 1988
Canadian politics, Canadiana, Leadership, Policy issues
Campaigns, Federal, Turnout
November 21st marks 30 years since the most consequential election in a generation – the 1988 federal election. This rematch of 1984 was remarkable for its substance, its strategies, and its aftermath.
It demonstrated that campaigns matter, with huge momentum shifts and gutsy, dramatic performances by John Turner and Brian Mulroney. It was an election that pivoted on Canada's image of itself in relation to the United States and drew 76% of voters to the polls. Not only did the election decide Canada's course on free trade, it represented the climax of the Mulroney era. No Conservative government had won back-to-back majorities since John A. Macdonald in 1891. Despite this moment of triumph, five years later the Progressive Conservative Party would be a smoldering ruin, its grand coalition (Quebec-Alberta Bridge) ravaged by regional alienation and Quebec nationalism.
It was the first general election where I was able to take a peek in the campaign cockpit. It was an election I will never forget.
The Substance
Like no other campaign in the past 30 years, it revolved around one major issue- Free Trade. Canada had signed a Free Trade Agreement with the United States. At that time, there was a much stronger sense of Canadian economic nationalism than there is today. Already a prominent issue, Free Trade dominated the agenda when Liberal leader John Turner instructed Liberal senators to block Free Trade legislation. The Liberals had a majority in the Senate. The Mulroney government was powerless to pass Free Trade without Senate approval. Turner had forced Free Trade as the defining issue of the election.
The other centerpiece of Mulroney's agenda was the Meech Lake Accord. In 1987, Mulroney secured the approval of all ten premiers for a package of constitutional reforms that would bring Québec 'into the Constitution'. The most contentious aspect was recognition of Quebec as a "distinct society". Many critiques complained about its decentralizing power. It became a very controversial issue among elites (particularly liberal elites) and discontentment grew, especially in Western Canada.
The Strategies
John Duffy's excellent book, Fights of Our Lives, outlines the political strategies used in the 1988 campaign – he named 1988 as one of the five top campaigns in Canadian history.
The Mulroney campaign started off in a bubble – a frontrunner campaign. After three years of scandal in his first term, Mulroney had righted the ship, in part because Free Trade provided him with a proof point of his leadership traits and economic agenda. The Liberals were internally divided and Ed Broadbent's NDP were threatening to vault into second place. It seemed that Mulroney just had to play it safe, but that was hard to do in what was a seven-week campaign.
John Turner had his back to the wall. He had embraced the Free Trade issue and took some control of the agenda through the Senate gambit. He had public backing for his position: "Let the people decide". However, by the time the election was called on October 1st, the Liberals were sagging in the polls. The Meech Lake Accord had badly divided them, while Free Trade also exposed a major rift. As Duffy writes, Turner supported Meech Lake for Quebec, and opposed Free Trade for English Canada. That was the bargain. In the first two weeks of the campaign, Peter Mansbridge breathlessly reported that there was a push within the Liberals to replace Turner mid-campaign with Jean Chrétien, his leadership rival. Turner stared them down and held on for the national TV debates taking place October 24 and 25.
NDP leader Ed Broadbent did not want a referendum on Free Trade. He wanted to talk about social issues and trust. He had successfully likened Mulroney and Turner as "Bay Street boys" in 1984, hurting Turner, and by 1988, there was also an aroma around Mulroney on trust. A Free Trade election would relegate Broadbent to the sidelines while Mulroney and Turner went mano a mano.
Meanwhile, out in the hinterland, Preston Manning was recruiting candidates and running a slate of candidates in Western Canada. He was gaining notice in church basements and in rural areas, but not seen as a major threat.
Mulroney, Turner, and Broadbent all supported Meech Lake. It did not become a vote-driving issue in the campaign. This all-party consensus would have far-reaching implications after the election.
In 1988, campaigns could not advertise on TV until the time of the TV debates toward the end of October. The first few weeks were the 'phony war'. It was the debates that changed everything, until they changed again.
John Turner limped into the debates looking like a political dead man – metaphorically and physically. He was fighting immense back pain. In the French debate, he exceeded expectations and brought some fight. Ed Broadbent, with limited French skills, was peripheral.
In the English debate, the fireworks came near the end. In 1984, Mulroney had destroyed Turner with a devastating attack on political patronage. In 1988, Turner assailed Mulroney on Free Trade, demonstrating considerable passion and conviction. As Duffy points out, Turner had been coached specifically on body language. While Mulroney returned Turner's salvos, Turner was simply more convincing and authentic.
As has been the case with highly-charged leaders' debates, the full impact is not known until days or even a week later. The same-night judging is conducted in a vacuum. It's not until news clips have been repeated endlessly, and water cooler discussions take place, that momentum truly forms. Within a week, the Liberals were on a big-time roll, galloping into the lead. The PCs were on their heels. At this point, there were three weeks to go.
The Liberals also released one of the best TV ads ever produced in Canadian elections. It showed the Canada-US border being erased as part of Free Trade negotiations.
As a Young Liberal working in the trenches in BC, the sense of momentum was palpable. Excitement flowed through the campaign. For the first time since John Turner was elected leader in 1984, there were real grounds for optimism. Turner had been a major star as a cabinet minister, but after his retreat to law, he had not thus far returned to form as leader. The debate was a major turning point for him.
As Duffy chronicles, Mulroney held things together using his instincts while his strategists, like polling wizard Allan Gregg, crafted a new approach to deal with the Liberal insurgency. Ultimately, the PC campaign, which had lots of money, sent in the B52 bombers to pound the Liberal campaign, "bombing the bridge" of Turner's credibility. The PCs had wisely agreed to TV debates well in advance of Election Day. This allowed them crucial time for a course correction. In provincial campaigns in BC in 1991 and 2013, and in Manitoba in 1988, TV debates that led to huge momentum changes occurred relatively close to voting and had big impacts. Mulroney's forces turned back the Liberal tide.
The campaign saw a gutsy charge by Turner, taking his opponents by surprise with his passionate opposition to the Free Trade Agreement. It also saw a skillful counterattack by Mulroney in the final weeks, restoring the PC's advantage. Both campaigns showed initiative and resolve. The Liberals, weakened by years of infighting and the disastrous 1984 campaign, simply did not have the wherewithal to win.
Mulroney held Québec for which he had a clear proposition – pro-Meech Lake and pro-Free Trade. He held the West, which also embraced Free Trade. The Quebec-Alberta Bridge of 1984 was kept in tact, but would soon crumble.
Turner's Liberals reclaimed some of their lost ground in English Canada, especially in Ontario. The Party, reduced to rubble in 1984, now had a much stronger caucus and a lot of new blood. Turner left the Liberals in better shape then he found them in 1984.
The NDP had its best showing, in part because it did very well in British Columbia. Strategic voting against Free Trade in BC meant voting NDP instead of the Liberals. Overall, the results were a disappointment for Ed Broadbent in his fourth campaign as leader.
With a majority in hand, the Senate relented, and Free Trade was passed. In the 1990s, it would morph into NAFTA. As a national policy, it has stood the test of time.
The re-election of the Mulroney PCs also led to the introduction of the GST. The GST had as much or more to do with its ultimate demise than anything. But again, it's a policy that has stood the test of time. No government will get rid of the GST.
Has there been an election since Confederation that led to two foundational blocks of our national economy like 1988?
Despite the all-party consensus over Meech Lake, the consensus would break down as new premiers were elected. Liberal Frank McKenna expressed his doubts. A minority government in Manitoba in 1988 forced PC Premier Gary Filmon to take hard line, in step with his opposition leader Liberal Sharon Carstairs. Then Clyde Wells was elected as Premier of Newfoundland, the staunchest critic among the premiers. Preston Manning and the Reform Party were a gathering storm in Western Canada. With Free Trade settled, westerners turned their attention to a constitutional deal that went against their grain.
In 1990, the Meech Lake Accord fell apart in a final desperate week to salvage it. Regional forces were unleashed that blew up the PC's Quebec-Alberta Bridge. Brian Mulroney's star recruit in Quebec in 1988, Lucien Bouchard, spectacularly resigned and formed the Bloc Quebecois, later leading the Oui forces in the 1995 Quebec referendum. Mulroney would try again in 1992 with the Charlottetown Accord which was put to national referendum. Everyone was in favour of it, except the people. Lucien Bouchard's Bloc Quebecois and Preston Manning's Reform Party would be the 2nd and 3rd parties in the House of Commons after 1993.
Kim Campbell became the first female prime minister, and first home-grown British Columbian to be PM, and went down to a historically brutal defeat. A mere five years after its climactic victory, the PCs had virtually been wiped out, reduced to two seats. They would limp along until merging with the Reform Party's successor, the Canadian Alliance. In effect, the Canadian Alliance conducted a reverse takeover of this venerable national party.
Jean Chrétien won the first of three successive majority governments, based largely on an Ontario vote split caused by Meech Lake and the GST.
The aftermath of 1988 also had a huge impact on Canada's aboriginal peoples. As Meech Lake reached its final moment, Manitoba MLA Elijah Harper blocked approval in the Manitoba legislature. Harper's act of defiance put aboriginal issues front and centre on the constitutional agenda.
What would have happened if John Turner had won in 1988? He would have had a huge challenge holding his government together on Meech Lake. Is it possible that Turner could have resolved the impasse with Liberal Premier Clyde Wells. Unlikely, but it's possible. Mulroney was unsuccessful, but Turner would have had a shot.
Turner would have had a very difficult road ahead in re-negotiating or walking away from the Free Trade deal. He would have faced blistering opposition from the Canadian business community.
It's unlikely the Liberals, given these challenges, would have had the courage to bring forward a value added tax, like the GST on the same timetable as the Mulroney government.
The PCs would not have been decimated in 1993. Had they lost in 1988, they would have had a strong opposition. Perhaps a new leader would have taken over, or Mulroney would have stayed to fight another day.
Would we have seen Jean Chrétien as prime minister? Probably not. He would have been on the outside looking in while Turner governed.
Campaigns matter. They change the course of our country, provinces, and communities. And no campaign in recent times changed the course of Canada like 1988.
Fights of Our Lives is an outstanding (and fun) analysis of election campaigns in Canada since Confederation. John Duffy pulled off an epic volume. My only complaint is that he hasn't updated it!
Letting the People Decide. A scholarly analysis of the 1988 election by UBC Professor Richard Johnston and other academics. It takes a deep dive into (credible) polling data.
Elusive Destiny. Paul Litt's book on John Turner's political career. Strong recommendation.
And finally, my Poli Sci guru Prof. Ken Carty weighs in on the reading list:

Nice read, but you missed the 30th anniversary of the Alberni by-election on Monday.
Ha! Caused by Bob Skelly leaving provincial politics for federal arena. One of the least dramatic byelections of the 1980s.
Bill November 21, 2018 at 10:23 pm
But also noted for the Chief Electoral Officer recommending to never hold a by-election during a federal election ever again.

Hey Mike. I waited until this evening so I could read your analysis with no distractions. I'm glad I waited. Thanks.

Strommen Simmentals is a family run operation at Arthur, North Dakota, within 30 minutes of Fargo. We started in the purebred Simmental business in 1991.
In 1992, we purchased a female from the Emmons Ranch in Montana that put us on the map. She was the famous ER Miss Herc 91X that produced over 90 calves for us and many sale toppers. She was the dam of ER 9A, along with the granddam of Queen of Denial. She also produced BTS Brandi that won the NAILE show in 1999 and BTS Red Rose that won the national junior show in 1998. Many of her bull calves also topped our bull sales, with the leader of the pack being BTS Night Ranger, a full brother of 9A, selling to Forster's in Nebraska. Although 91X has now left us, her influence is still very much alive in our cow herd.
Our bull battery is led by ER K33B, who is a solid red, non-diluted bull that is a total outcross to any bulls being used today. He has Hercules on both sides of his pedigree and is homozygous polled to top it off. He is a calving ease bull that adds those extra pounds at weaning time. We strive for calving ease and disposition at our ranch and he has played the part for us.
At Strommen Simmentals, our cattle are bred for conception to consumption. We use an extensive A.I. and embryo transfer program to produce the genetics that cattlemen demand.
