Anna Bromley engages people from Kosova in conversation. Listening closely to the stories they tell, she accompanies her interlocutors along the paths their memories, tirades, reflections and speculations take them.
One person leads her to the next: a filmmaker, a festival director, two musicians and a sound engineer, a philosopher, a stage designer, a cultural journalist, a trans woman and her companion … Talking, giggling, munching and getting lost, they go to the village, to the cinema or to the much-loved restaurant Tiffany, plunging themselves into the past, meandering about in the present, pondering about the future.
The artist kicks of the series with a radio drama entitled Shaking the Syntax beginning with her teenage years in East Berlin as well as a radiowalk with Kaltrina Krasniqi on how she almost gets lost in the streets she wasn't allowed to go to as a child. You can learn more about the artist here.
Head out to the link below to listen to the first episodes and stay tuned as we release new ones in the weeks to come.
Part 1 – Shake the syntax! A tale of borrowed voices
Radio drama, 31 min. Beginning with her own teenage years in East Berlin, which was conforming to a so-called West, the artist interweaves micro-stories from Kosovo that reveal the effects of identity politics on lived lives. For her essay-like storytelling, she distorts original sounds from archival recordings and fuses them into electroacoustic compositions. In words and sound, she imagines a hypothetical future that could be fed by the dreamed lives of the voices she has recalled. The radio drama serves as the prelude to nine sonic portraits: seven of human beings, and two of spaces. It includes research recordings with Kaltrina Krasniqi, Genc Salihu, Alisa Maliqi and Shkëlzen Maliqi.

Part 2 – How Katrina Krasniqi almost gets lost in the streets she wasn't allowed to go to as a child.
All the way from the City Park passing by the Dodona Theater to Kino Rinia, 47 min. In the early morning, the city park is still cool. Kaltrina and Anna take an espresso among some elderly women and start walking. Back in spring, the filmmaker told Anna about her uncle, who directed the craziest plays in a self-organised theatre during the period of repression. Anna is curious so they stroll in the direction of this building.

Part 3 – What Toton Pllana would like to do with Kino Rinia
A polemic in the sound studio, 24 min. With his message, Toton apologizes for his studio being without air-conditioning. Anna indicates that she is ok with it and looks for the location using the Google map pin that Toton had sent her. There was a photo in the message. An aerial view of a blue and white sunblind and a baobab tree, with café tables in its shade. This place is in the neighbourhood where Kaltrina fears it is about to become expensive. So far, it doesn't look like it is.

Part 4 – How Shkëlzen Maliqi made a complaint in the newspaper and Alisa thought, who is this guy? How their 1997 exhibition "Pertej" came to be and was remade at Shtatëmbëdhjetë.
Breakfast in Prizren, 30 min. When Anna stood in front of the theatre with Kaltrina, it struck her that Alisa Maliqi's gallery had the very same name. She wants to know more and has breakfast with Alisa and her partner Shkëlzen in Prizren. At Tiffany, of course – where else? Once back in Prishtina, she heads for the old town to see the archival exploration of the 1997 show at Shtatëmbëdhjetë (Foundation 17).

Part 5 – Why Kafu went from the Gjakova singing technique to radical love
A video chat between Novi Sad and Pristina, 24 min. Was it Kaltrina who had mentioned Kafu? Whatever the case, Anna certainly had heard a lot about the charismatic musician and activist. For a couple of days, she would endeavour to contact him through every channel. The moment she mentions Kaltrina, the prompt reply comes with an invitation to visit him in Novi Sad. Because of border conflicts with Serbia, it is necessary to take a several-hour detour, so in the end Anna has a video chat with Kafu.

Part 6 – How constipation caught Arba Hatashi`s and the Anibar team's attention
Up and down the stairs through the movie theater in Peja, 24 min. According to the Foundation17 crew, I should visit the young makers of the Anibar Animation Film Festival in Peja. While Peja is known for its mountain panorama, there is also the only railroad line in Kosovo. The worn-out Austrian train carriages take two hours to travel from the capital to the small town. The Anibar headquarters are in a massive vintage cinema. There they have a work by Sokol Beqiri, whom Shkëlzen and Alisa Maliqi featured in their Përtej exhibition in the days when he was still unknown.

Part 7 – Why Vullnet Krasniqi feels that a culture journalist is better off staying in the country
To the village by bus, 29 min. "Why don't you come to my village?", writes Vullnet on Facebook. Today or maybe tomorrow? Well, tomorrow is fine, so I go to pick up the cultural journalist at his newsroom. Via the wide arterial roads, we head for Prishtina's bus station.

Part 8 – What Miljana Dunderin feels about Kosovo and why she chose to be in North Mitrovica
A conversation on the patio, North-Mitrovica, 36 min. As I board the bus to Mitrovica, I instantly see what Miljana has been trying to tell me. Somehow, the north of the country has been left behind. You can tell by the bus, which has neither official tickets nor seat belts. When I reach Mitrovica, I begin to feel a slight vertigo from the soft-soaked 90s pop cover versions playing in the south side cafés, all of which are quite interchangeable. Across the bridge, on the north side, hard rock is on. You can't really go wrong with the landmarks Miljana had painted for me on the city map: a monument and a local bank branch.

Part 9 – How Dardan Zhegrova likes to remember experimental art venues in Prishtina.
Rushing between two libraries, 11 min. In the late afternoon, Dardan awaits me at the former Hivzi Sulejmani Library, now the Centre for Narrative Practice. Asking what he looks like, he replies that people describe him as "softspoken". Is this so unusual that I would be certain to recognise him? It turns out to be quite easy, since softspoken doesn't automatically translate into shy. The artist co-initiated the last self-organised project space in Prishtina. Together with a group he currently works on a zine about subcultural places in Prishtina in the early 2000s. Soon we are off to another library, where we want to pick up Qerkica.

Part 10 – Why Qerkica Rexhepi feels one hundred years old
A time travel at the garden of Hivzi Suleimane Library, translated by Donjetë Murati, 40 min. Prishtina is shaken by the suicide of a young woman whose first name was the same as mine. The transwoman had just started her hormone therapy, which neither the Kosovar health system nor society provides for. Yet for a long time, transwoman have been part of the regional way of life. In spring, Anna had told me about Qerkica, her eyes sparkling. As I meet the queer icon, I know exactly why.

I Soundgarden sono stati un gruppo musicale rock statunitense. Provenienti da Seattle, sono considerati una delle band più rappresentative della scena grunge.

La storia del gruppo

Gli inizi con Sub Pop, C/Z ed SST (1984-1988)
I Soundgarden nascono nel 1984 a Seattle, su iniziativa del cantante batterista Chris Cornell e del bassista Hiro Yamamoto, già insieme nei The Shemps. A loro si uniscono il chitarrista Kim Thayil e il batterista Scott Sundquist, ingaggiato affinché Cornell possa concentrarsi sul canto. Il nome della band si ispira all'opera A Sound Garden, installazione sonora dell'artista Douglas Hollis al NOAA Western Regional Center di Seattle.
Come ricorda Cornell, la città che sarebbe poi divenuta celebre in tutto il mondo come capitale del grunge, all'epoca era tutt'altro che glamour:

«Seattle, come terreno di coltura di arte e musica, era così isolata e provinciale che, in un certo senso, poteva permettersi di crescere proprio perché ignorata da tutti»

Nel 1986 subentra in pianta stabile Matt Cameron, già batterista nei Bam Bam e negli Skin Yard.

Susan Silver, compagna di Cornell, diviene la manager del gruppo. Il gruppo entra a far parte delle compilation Phyrric Victory e Deep Six della C/Z Records, con altre band della scena cittadina quali Melvins, The U-Men, Green River. Segue la partecipazione alla compilation Sub Pop 200 e la pubblicazione del primo singolo Hunted Down/Nothing to Say (Sub Pop, 1986), seguito dagli EP Screaming Life (Sub Pop, 1987) e Fopp (Sub Pop, 1988) registrato al Moore Theatre di Seattle.

In questi anni, la band diviene una presenza di primo piano sulla scena locale, suscitando interesse e stima da parte di pubblico e addetti ai lavori, sia per l'impatto sonoro che visivo. Bruce Pavitt, fondatore della Sub Pop Records, affermò che la band costituiva 'un nuovo paradigma' e così li ricorda:

«I Soundgarden erano perfetti. Avevano un suono heavy, ma non erano una heavy metal band. Avevano un potenziale commerciale enorme, ce ne accorgemmo subito. Fu la prima band della Sub Pop a farci fare cassa»«Ho incontrato i Soundgarden quando ho organizzato un loro show nell'86-87. Indossavano pantaloni da lavoro e stivali arrotolati, Chris sembrava appena uscito dal turno in acciaieria. Erano davvero fighi» (Eric Johnson, tour manager)  «Tutti amavano i Soundgarden. Erano gli eroi di casa, i primi a pubblicare davvero qualcosa con una major» (Tad Doyle, Tad)

Dal punto di vista del suono, la band trae ispirazione dagli ascolti più disparati, dai Velvet Underground ai Meat Puppets, dai Butthole Surfers ai Gang of Four, nonché dal confronto con le altre band della scena locale, quali Green River e Melvins.  «Eravamo con Mark Arm e Buzz Osborne, intorno all'86, a parlare e ascoltare musica. A un certo punto Buzz ci dice che in alcuni brani dei Black Sabbath il chitarrista Tony Iommi usa questa accordatura detta drop d, che rende tutto più basso e più pesante. Allora ho iniziato ad usarla anche io, la prima canzone che ho scritto così è stata Nothing to say. La gente ha cominciato a paragonarci a Led Zeppelin e Black Sabbath, ma noi in quel periodo ascoltavamo Killing Joke e Bauhaus» (Kim Thayil)  «Quando ci siamo formati eravamo post-punk, piuttosto strani. Poi, in qualche modo, abbiamo trovato questo rock psichedelico neo-Sabbathiano che si adattava molto bene a ciò che eravamo» (Chris Cornell) Con Ultramega OK (SST Records, 1989), registrato in parte a Seattle e in parte a Newberg, la band ottiene buone vendite e l'attenzione della rivista Rolling Stone, che la inserisce tra quelle più promettenti del periodo, nell'articolo Rolling Stone on Campus. Axl Rose, cantante dei Guns'n'Roses, cita il disco come uno dei suoi preferiti dell'anno. Nonostante il gruppo ribadisca attitudini e ascolti non strettamente riconducibili al metal, nel 1990 i Soundgarden ottengono una nomination ai Grammy Awards nella categoria gruppi hard rock/heavy metal.

L'epoca A&M e il successo con Superunknown (1989-1994)
Louder Than Love (A&M, 1989) segna il passaggio della band alla major A&M, e ne conferma lo status di band stimata e amata da pubblico e addetti ai lavori. Del brano Big Dumb Sex, parodia del machismo rock'n'roll, i Guns'n'Roses faranno una cover inserita nel loro album The Spaghetti Incident? (1993). Kirk Hammett, chitarrista dei Metallica e fan della prima ora, si dirà impressionato dalla potenza dell'album, e rivelerà a Classic Rock di stare cercando di catturare quell'attitudine durante la composizione del brano Enter Sandman.

Il gruppo ottiene un buon piazzamento in classifica e ottime recensioni e intensifica l'attività live, sia negli USA che in Europa. A testimoniare il tour c'è un home video, Louder Than Live. Hiro Yamamoto lascia il gruppo e viene rimpiazzato prima da Jason Everman poi, in pianta stabile, da Ben Shepherd. «Quando mi sono unito alla band, ho cominciato a portare accordature strane. Tutti ci si sono adattati. Erano così intelligenti e creativi che si sperimentavano, e questo era esattamente il senso di fare parte di una band» (Ben Shepherd)  «Sono sempre stati molto innovativi, alla ricerca costante di evoluzione. Soprattutto con l'antrata di Ben Shepherd nella band, che è un songwriter magnifico. Quando hanno cominciato a scrivere insieme si è creato qualcosa di speciale» (Tad Doyle, TAD) Badmotorfinger (A&M, 1991), il cui titolo è un gioco di parole tra Badmotorscooter di Ronnie Montrose, Motörhead e Badfinger, ottiene ottimi riscontri di critica e vendite, trainato dai singoli Outshined, Rusty Cage e Jesus Christ Pose, il cui video crea qualche problema ad MTV: «Non volevano trasmetterla in prime-time, nonostante poco prima Madonna avesse fatto il video di Like A Prayer con una croce in fiamme! Una ballerina/attrice poteva, una rock band no. O almeno questa è la scusa che usarono. Volevamo una donna di colore sulla croce, non un ragazzo bianco. Alla fine abbiamo usato una donna che credo sia in parte dell'India orientale, ma non saprei dirlo. Avremmo preferito fosse più Indiana o Afroamericana, volevamo la rappresentazione delle minoranze nei nostri video - e ragazze che non danzassero sul cofano di una macchina. Per qualche motivo era sempre una impresa ardua» (Kim Thayil)  «Se ascolti con attenzione Badmotorfinger noti che il disco è attraversato da tanti sentimenti differenti, nostre interpretazioni di ciò che di pesante, dark e psichedelico amiamo in musica» (Kim Thayil)
La band parte come supporter dei Guns N' Roses per il tour di Use Your Illusion, esperienza non esaltante data la differenza di abitudini.

Nello stesso periodo, parte della band è impegnata nel progetto Temple of The Dog (1991) in memoria di Andrew Wood, cantante dei Mother Love Bone nonché amico e coinquilino di Cornell, morto per overdose nel marzo 1990. Da una idea di Cornell, insieme a Matt Cameron e agli ex compagni di Wood, Stone Gossard e Jeff Ament, cui si unirà Mike Mc Cready, il supergruppo registra l'omonimo album.

Nel 1992 i Soundgarden partecipano al Lollapalooza Festival. Nello stesso anno escono una edizione limitata di Badmotorfinger con l'EP Satanoscillatemymetallicsonatas e il secondo home video Motorvision.

Nello stesso anno la band è nel film Singles - L'amore è un gioco, con una performance dal vivo di Birth Ritual. Nella colonna sonora compare quello che poi diverrà il singolo Spoonman, e Cornell appare in una scena come amico del protagonista Cliff Poncier (Matt Dillon).

La band non si è mai dichiarata politicamente impegnata o militante,  tuttavia negli anni aderisce ad alcune iniziative di sensibilizzazione sulla violenza contro le donne (Mia Zapata benefit/Home Alive, in seguito allo stupro e all'assassinio di Mia Zapata, cantante della band The Gits) e sul diritto all'aborto (Rock for Choice, serie di concerti organizzati dalle L7). Nonostante l'impatto musicale e di immagine, la band sembra voler tentare un superamento dei cliché macho-sessisti del rock'n'roll: «La gente crede che siamo dei maiali machisti, ma semplicemente noi suoniamo musica mascolina, rock molto potente Quando siamo diventati più famosi sono aumentate le ragazze ai nostri concerti. Di recente, in Oregon, una ragazza, strafatta, si è tolta la maglietta davanti a Chris, ha afferrato il microfono, è piombata sul palco e gli ha urlato 'Fu** me!'. Lui le messo le braccia sulle spalle e l'ha riaccompagnata tra il pubblico, con grande calma, da gentleman. Come band, cerchiamo di trattare le persone con rispetto. Non siamo femministi, ma allo stesso tempo ci rifiutiamo di perpetuare gli stereotipi macho-sessisti del rock'n'roll. Abbiamo una posizione, diciamo, neutrale» (Kim Thayil, Soundgarden)  «Le groupies non sono fan. Chi è fan ha ascoltato il tuo disco milioni di volte, glielo leggi negli occhi. Le groupies sono persone con problemi di autostima. È assurdo quello che sono capaci di fare per arrivare a te. Uno dei trucchetti consiste nel piazzarsi davanti a noi e insultarci, provocarci, dicendoci che la nostra musica fa schifo o che siamo machisti e sessisti. E se reagisci, boom! Ecco che ti hanno tirato dentro ad una conversazione!» (Chris Cornell)Superunknown, (A&M, 1994) che debutta direttamente al numero 1 della classifica di Billboard Top 200, è la consacrazione pop e il maggiore successo commerciale del gruppo. È l'occasione di piena affermazione per la band, veterana della scena di Seattle, dopo l'esplosione pop dei Nirvana con Nevermind e dei Pearl Jam con Ten, entrambi del 1991: «Ero molto fiero di essere parte di una scena che stava cambiando il volto della musica commerciale e rock nel mondo, ma sentivo anche che era necessario per i Soundgarden, come per le altre band, dimostrare che meritavamo un palco internazionale, al di là della nostra provenienza geografica. Sapevo che ne avevamo la capacità, e sapevo anche che il tempismo era importante. E quello era il momento giusto»  Il singolo Black Hole Sun diviene una delle canzoni più rappresentative del decennio, grazie anche al video che vince l'MTV Video Music Award come Miglior video metal/hard rock del 1994. «Nessuno di noi aveva idea che Black Hole Sun sarebbe diventato un singolo. Se leggi il testo, è una sorta di affresco poetico surreale, esoterico»          (Chris Cornell)  «Like Suicide, 4th of July, Limo Wreck, Mailman, Head Down, Half: tutte queste canzoni suonano solo Soundgarden nella mia testa. Non è qualcosa che stavamo tentando di costruire, e forse questa è la parte più interessante. Non ci siamo seduti tentando di scrivere qualcosa che nessuno aveva mai scritto prima. La ragione di questa unicità è la chimica tra di noi» (Chris Cornell)Nel 1995 l'album vince due Grammy Awards, Miglior Performance Hard Rock per Black Hole Sun e Miglior Performance Metal per Spoonman, e diviene 5 volte disco di platino. Il successo ottenuto da Superunknown coincide con un periodo molto difficile per la band.«Fu il picco della nostra carriera, ma anche un momento difficile. La morte di Kurt fu sconvolgente per noi, inoltre alcuni di noi si trovavano ad affrontare crisi nelle relazioni, perdite di amici. Stavamo cercando di affrontare perdite personali e nel mentre gestire il successo professionale. Non so se davvero ce lo siamo mai goduto del tutto» (Kim Thayil)

«Nel '95 ho sentito che qualcosa si stava incrinando. Tutti, dal management, alle band, alla casa discografica - sentivamo la pressione derivante dal successo di Alice in Chains e Soundgarden. Passavamo il tempo cercando di aiutare le band a sostenere le ricadute del successo, sia che si trattasse di dipendenza, malcontento o differenze di vedute artistiche» (Susan Silver)

Crisi e scioglimento (1996-7), reunion (2010) e morte di Chris Cornell (2017)
Down on the Upside (A&M, 1996), trainato dai singoli Pretty Noose, Burden in My Hand e Blow Up the Outside World raggiunge la posizione numero 2 della Billboard Top 200 e la 7 nella UK Album Chart. Nonostante la buona accoglienza, l'album non bissa il successo di critica e di pubblico del precedente. Dopo una tournée segnata da malumori e incidenti tecnici, nell'aprile la band annuncia ufficialmente lo scioglimento tramite un comunicato della casa discografica.

In seguito, sia Cornell che Sheperd parleranno dello scioglimento come provocato da fattori estranei alla musica, ai meccanismi esterni ai dischi e ai concerti, che divennero pesanti da gestire per la band.

Chris Cornell pubblica tre album come solista (Euphoria Morning, Carry On e Scream) e diventa il cantante degli Audioslave, band formata dai membri dei Rage Against The Machine. Matt Cameron lavora con i Pearl Jam al tour di Yield, per poi entrare in piante stabile nella band.

Il 1º gennaio 2010, i Soundgarden annunciano ufficialmente la reunion: «La pausa di 12 anni è finita ed è ora di ricominciare la scuola. I Cavalieri della tavola del suono sono tornati!»
Il 16 aprile 2010 la band si esibisce allo Showbox di Seattle presentandosi come Nudedragons, anagramma di Soundgarden. In agosto si esibiscono a Chicago durante il Lollapalooza. Nel 2012 tornano in Italia dopo sedici anni, annunciano la pubblicazione di un nuovo brano, Live to Rise, parte della colonna sonora al film The Avengers, prendono parte al Late Show di David Letterman il 12 novembre, data di uscita del nuovo album, King Animal. Il 26 ottobre 2014, la band, tramite il canale YouTube ufficiale, condivide lo streaming di un brano inedito, Storm.

Nella notte tra il 17 e il 18 maggio 2017 il cantante Chris Cornell si toglie la vita dopo un concerto a Detroit. Dopo la morte di Cornell, i restanti membri del gruppo sciolgono la band e annullano la tournée. Si ritroveranno per suonare insieme al concerto tributo a Cornell, I Am The Highway (The Forum, Inglewood, California, gennaio 2019), in occasione del quale si esibiscono in una versione di Black Hole Sun con ospiti Peter Frampton e la cantante Brandi Carlile.

Eredità dei Soundgarden
I Soundgarden hanno influenzato, sia dal punto di vista della musica che dell'attitudine, molte band sia coeve, come Alice in Chains e Nirvana, che successive, come Deftones, Tool, Queens of the Stone Age, Between the Buried and Me, The Dillinger Escape Plan:«Credo, e lo dico adesso, dopo molto tempo e ascoltando i dischi con più distacco, che, in tutta onestà, abbiamo fatto i migliori dischi della scena. Sono fiero della nostra audacia, della propensione a sperimentare, a spingere i generi al limite» (Chris Cornell)

Brother and sister Callum and Chloe Cockle had a thrilling start to Christmas when they switched on the lights at Willow Brook Centre on Saturday 19th November.
Callum (9) and Chloe (7), from Southmead, won a competition on the Willow Brook Centre's Facebook page to be chosen to turn on the Christmas lights alongside Santa Claus at a fun day of seasonal activities.
The festivities started at noon when Bradley Stoke Radio began an afternoon of live music from local artists and bands in the town square.
Children also met Snow Princesses and their happy snowman friend. And young fans joined in a sing-along to songs from Frozen.
This Saturday, 26th November, Santa will open his grotto in the Willow Brook mall at 11am to take present requests. Tickets are £4.50 and include a small gift. The grotto will also be open on Sunday 27th November and then every day from Saturday 3rd December until Christmas Eve.
There will also be a Christmas market this Saturday and Sunday (26th and 27th November) with lots of unique handmade and vintage gifts. The market will be open from 10am to 5pm.
For more details on upcoming Christmas events at the centre, visit www.willowbrookcentre.co.uk or find the Willow Brook Centre page on Facebook.

The liver is one of the body's true powerhouses – an organ that performs a staggering number of important functions simultaneously. Not only does it convert nutrients into bile, a substance that helps with the digestion process, it also produces amino acids that play a key role in fighting infections. The list goes on and on when it comes to the liver. And while we certainly count on it to maintain homeostasis throughout life, its health and functionality is especially vital as we get older, when the threat of liver failure becomes greater.
There are more than one hundred known liver diseases, many of which can lead to liver failure, robbing the body of essential functions that keep it healthy. One of the most common causes of liver failure is alcohol abuse. Alcohol abuse often leads to cirrhosis, a condition that sees the liver becoming scarred and deteriorated, ultimately leading to the loss of functioning cells. The overuse of painkillers, specifically acetaminophen, and certain prescription medications can also damage the liver and lead to a condition known as liver necrosis.
One of the other major causes of liver failure is viral hepatitis, a disease that has a number of forms. Hepatitis C, in particular, is quite dangerous and can lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer if untreated. Unfortunately, most people with Hepatitis C don't know that they're actually infected as it can take years for symptoms to manifest. However, once detected, Hepatitis C is treatable, but it does become more difficult to fight with age. That's why screening as early as possible is vital, especially for baby boomers (those born from 1945 to 1965). It's believed that the transmission of Hepatitis C was highest around this time because many of the infection control procedures seen in the healthcare industry today were simply not around.
According to the Canadian Liver Foundation an estimated 250,000 Canadians have Hepatitis C.
Limit alcohol consumption, or don't drink at all.
Take acetaminophen in moderation (most medical experts recommend no more than 3,250 mg/day) and talk to your physician about the risk of current medications.
Research and consult with a physician before taking any supplements.
Ensure you are eating a balanced diet, complete with whole grains, vegetables, lean protein, and healthy fats.
Get tested for viral hepatitis, especially if you were born between 1945 and 1965.
Take caution when using cleaning products, as many of the active agents are known to damage the liver.
Incorporate coffee into your diet. Recent studies show that drinking coffee may help in preventing liver disease.
While all of the tips listed are important for maintaining the health of the liver, the management of alcohol remains central. Alcohol abuse is common in seniors, often serving as a way to cope with the hardships associated with aging, such as death of friends/family, physical pain, and isolation. And it can occur without anybody ever knowing. Click here to learn more about the effects of alcohol on seniors and how to identify when there's a problem. Understanding the dangerous potential of alcohol will help seniors not only reduce their risk of liver problems, but also brain damage, cancer, and even immune system disorders.
At Comfort Keepers®, we understand just how important it is to stay healthy as we age, and that seniors may have a hard time adapting to the ways in which their bodies adapt to age. Our team of caring professionals can help seniors make healthier choices, conducive to liver protection, and provide them with the support they need to life a healthy lifestyle. Our goal is to ensure that aging adults preserve their safety, independence, and positive wellbeing. Contact your local Comfort Keepers today to learn more about our services.

The appearance of some special features in 2H-NMR spectra, which could not be explained by the conventional nematic order, was crucial for the discovery of the twist-bend nematic (NTB) phase. Such features reflect the order and symmetry of the local environment of a probe and in principle their analysis can provide quantitative insights into the structural parameters of the phase. We have developed a methodology for the analysis of experimental data, different from the approaches that are normally used for two main reasons: (i) the structural features of the NTB phase, specifically its local polarity, biaxiality and chirality, are consistently taken into account; (ii) the molecular features are introduced in a detailed way, through molecular modelling. We have applied this methodology to analyse 2H-NMR quadrupolar splittings for two representative systems, CB7CB and CB6OCB. The integration of theory, computational modelling and experiment allows us to extract quantitative information from the experimental data and to predict various properties, even not directly probed by measurements. We discuss how the molecular differences between CB7CB and CB6OCB translate into a different phase behaviour and we address issues concerning the distinguishing features of the NTB phase, such as the definition of a local tilted director.

It's time for us to check up on stats outside of the King/Snohomish core with our "Around the Sound" statistics for Pierce, Kitsap, Thurston, Island, Skagit, and Whatcom counties.
This month's story in a nutshell: Supply growth slowed while sales strengthened a bit in King & Snohomish, but fell elsewhere.
Next let's take a look at median prices in June compared to a year earlier. Prices were up from a year ago across the board. Gains ranged from as low as 1 percent in Kitsap to as high as 13 percent in Snohomish.
The number of listings grew year-over-year everywhere but Kitsap and Island counties. The biggest gainer by far was again Snohomish County at +33 percent, but Pierce and Thurston both also saw double-digit gains in inventory.
Closed sales fell in June compared to a year earlier everywhere but King and Snohomish, which both saw gains just over two percent. The biggest decline in sales were in Island and Skagit Counties, where sales fell over 23 percent from June 2013.
Here's a chart showing months of supply this June and last June. The market was more balanced than a year ago in every Puget Sound county, but they're also all still in seller's market territory.
To close things out, here's a chart comparing June's median price to the peak price in each county. Everybody is still down from the peak, with drops ranging between 6 percent (King) and 24 percent (Island).
Still moving at a snail's pace toward a more balanced market across most of the Sound.
Fairly hefty price plummet, albeit the first chart [includes condos?] shows a King County sales price increase of [number cut off?].
RE: softwarengineer @ 1 – Oops sorry about the cut off chart. Fixed.
You're mis-reading the last chart. The blue bars in that one are the peak price reached in each county, not last year's prices.
I wonder when it peaked, during last winter's bad rainy weather….LOL????
When Seattle area real estate had hit bottom in 2011 or 2012, people were saying it would be another twenty years before we'd see the 2007 peak prices again.
Now, the King County median single family home price is about 5.6% below the 2007 peak. But in South King County, in places like Auburn, Kent, Tukwila, and Federal Way, we're still down around 15%+ below the peak. Which suggests to me that in places like Greenlake or Kirkland, we're at or above the peak.
I'm not suggesting that we're due for a crash or anything like that, but doesn't it seem like we've gone up too fast too quickly?
There will be a correction shortly in areas that have appreciated the most. I am starting to track it on a weekly basis. Will be hard to sort the seasonal change from the bubble deflating change, but am doing seasonal expectation percentages so we can see where the rate of change is lining up with normal seasonal expectation.
Working on the baselines now, but expect a correction in areas that have had the highest levels of appreciation beginning in 2012.
After a bidding war on 718 N 83rd St which allegedly attracted multiple 50K-over cash offers, I'm not holding my breath for a correction just yet.
I think the rate of price increases will slow down to a more reasonable level around 3-5% increase per year, but a "price correction" anytime in the near future…. I think not.
Incomes for the "seattle/eastside area home-buying class" are up over the last 5 years, and interest rates are in the low 3% range….prices in desirable areas still have upwards potential.
RE: Christian Wathne @ 8 – I don't understand your comment. You say near-record low rates are a reason why there is "upwards potential".
Would not the opposite be true? If today's market existed in an environment with higher (read: non-manipulated) rates, I'd be more inclined to agree.
Yes, I sure think so. But, the market can stay irrational… blah, blah, blah… you know the rest. I've been renting a year now since I sold my condo, would love to buy, but will wait for some kind of correction or just leave this area all together.
There was a house in phinney ridge that sold for list price with only one offer last week. I have been looking for several years and that surprised me. We would have put an offer in if there were no other offers but it was at the top of our price range. This house had potential but was not turn key, as was the place on 83rd. It was also priced $40,000 higher.
I can see what you mean…, but what I meant to emphasize when I wrote that "interest rates are in the low 3% range", was that though prices are near (or above) peak prices, the affordability of a home is much better now than it was back in 2007 because of the low rates. You could be concerned about prices dropping if rates increased, but the fed has made it pretty clear that they intend to hold interest rates low for at least the next couple years.
If the QEs keep buying 0% federal bonds and letting the banks lend it out for like 3-5% pure profit….the low volume stock market is the best place to invest [until it gets saturated with buyers]….ask Buffet.
RE: softwarengineer @ 14 – Editorial: It is more than troubling to think that incompetent and criminal banks are allowed this privilege, illustrating again what a total joke the US financial system is. Get rid of the middlemen.
Incomes are Up for the Home Buying Class?
If you're talking "skin in the game" worker bees; the high priced Seattle area is likely just like all the high priced "NewYork" coastal cities' home owners. About half of 'em don't work. They buy their home for excess change laying around and see nothing wrong with saturating the job market with P/T incomes, overpopulation and slave wages….don't affect them.

(Video) First NHL Goal: Blackhawks' Dahlbeck opens scoring in win over Bruins
By Ken McKenna

Chicago Blackhawks rookie defenseman Klas Dahlbeck received his first NHL call-up on 12/4, and just 3 games into his NHL career, the Katrineholm, Sweden native netted his first NHL goal in a 3-2 win over the Boston Bruins.
Midway through the first period, Blackhawks' forwards Marcus Kruger and Ben Smith battled for the puck behind the Bruins' net. Smith came away with the puck and fed a pass to Dahlbeck, who had moved in from his point position, with Dahlbeck firing home a shot past Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask.
Dahlbeck has spent the past two seasons and the early portion of this season playing for the Rockford IceHogs of the AHL, the farm team of the Blackhawks. In 167 AHL games, Dahlbeck has scored 13 goals and added 34 assists for 47 points while posting a cumulative +36 rating. He was chosen in the third round of the 2011 NHL Draft by the Blackhawks.

Rights Group: Russia & Assad Regime Committing War Crimes in Idlib Amid Int'l Silence
The Assad regime and Russian forces continue to target unarmed civilians in the Idlib and Hama countryside, leaving hundreds dead and injured and forcing more than 300,000 people out of their homes amid deafening silence by the international community.
In a report published on Wednesday, the Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) said that shelling and airstrikes by the Assad regime and its allies in Hama and Idlib provinces killed at least 108 civilians and injured hundreds more. Of those, 71 were killed by the Assad regime, including 12 children and 18 women, while 37 civilians, including 14 children and six women, were killed in attacks by the Russian forces.
The monitoring group said it counted at least 82 attacks on vital civilian centers, including 28 attacks on schools, 11 on places of worship, 18 on medical facilities and nine on civil defense centers. The Assad regime was responsible for 42 attacks, while Russian forces were responsible for 40 others.
The Network said that it documented at least 1,068 airstrikes in the region, 496 of which were carried out by the Assad air force and 572 others by the Russian forces. It also noted that it recorded no fewer than 132 ground attacks and one attack in which the Russian forces used cluster munitions. It also said that helicopters of the Assad regime dropped at least 188 barrel bombs on Idlib province.
The Network pointed out that the Assad regime and Russian forces have stepped up their bombing campaign on the region since April 26, adding that the Assad regime has resumed the use of barrel bombs since April 30 for the first time since the Idlib agreement was signed in September 2018.
The Assad regime and Russian forces had violated several provisions of the International Humanitarian Law, most notably not discriminating between civilians and combatants as well as between civilian and military targets. It said that the attacks on hospitals, schools, and civilian neighborhoods constituted war crimes.
The report criticized the latest remarks made by the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres who called for an end to the military escalation in Idlib without naming who was responsible for the air attacks on hospitals and schools. It called on the UN Security Council to adopt a resolution to consolidate the ceasefire in Idlib and impose punitive measures against whichever party that violates the resolution.
Moreover, the Network called on the UN Secretary-General to plainly identify those who are responsible for the violations in order condemn their actions and expose their practices. It stressed that insisting on ignoring these violations will encourage the perpetrators to commit more crimes. (Source: Syrian Coalition's Media Department)

JAMES DURBIN Interviewed At 'American Music Awards' (Video)
November 23, 2011 0 Comment James Durbin
"American Idol" finalist James Durbin was interviewed on the red carpet of the 39th annual American Music Awards on Sunday, November 20 in Los Angeles. Check out the three separate clips below.
Durbin released his debut solo album "Memories Of A Beautiful Disaster", on November 21 via Wind-Up Records. The CD includes a guest appearance by Mick Mars of MÖTLEY CRÜE, as well contributions from songwriters James Michael (SIXX: A.M., MÖTLEY CRÜE) and Marti Frederiksen (AEROSMITH, BUCKCHERRY, OZZY OSBOURNE), along with Swedish rock band HARDCORE SUPERSTAR.
When asked by Artisan News how the Mars collaboration came out, Durbin said, "Mick Mars actually reached out to us. I had met him at the MÖTLEY CRÜE show at the Hollywood Bowl when MÖTLEY played and NEW YORK DOLLS and POISON opened and I got to go back and meet Mick Mars. And when we were making the record, Mick Mars reached out and wanted to play on the record. [I was like] 'Wow. You want to play on the record? We don't need to ask you? You actually want to? Whoa! No freakin' way!'"
Durbin, who co-wrote five of the albums tracks, previously said that it was "surreal" to be working with this bevy of rock royalty and recalled, "When Mick Mars started shredding on his guitar I literally lost my mind." The long-time MÖTLEY CRÜE fan continued, saying, "He's a true rock legend and he's playing on my record. It doesn't get any cooler than that." Mick Mars concurred, "It was sick to have played on James' debut album. To be the only featured guest artist on the record was really cool as I know a lot of others wanted to be on it. James Durbin kicks ass; he's the real deal."
22-year-old Durbin was guided throughout the making of "Memories Of A Beautiful Disaster" by leading rock producer, Howard Benson. Benson (MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE, DAUGHTRY, MOTÖRHEAD) gives Durbin room to evolve musically on the hard-hitting album, saying the opportunity to work with Durbin was "pretty simple: I loved his voice. I think he has a compelling story to tell." Benson, who kept his eye on Durbin throughout 'Idol' thought, "It was interesting that he spoke his mind and didn't back down from who he was. That's always a good sign."
On "American Idol", James Durbin waved the flag for rock and it was that devotion to rock that helped him overcome his private struggles with tourette's and Asperger's Syndrome. He touched the hearts of people everywhere while on the show, and with the release of "Memories Of A Beautiful Disaster" he is ready to wave that flag high again.

Giancarlo Fortino
Giancarlo Fortino, professor of computer engineering in the Department of Informatics, Modeling, Electronics and Systems at the University of Calabria, presents a seminar as part of the C2SMART Distinguished Speaker Series. The seminar is titled "Agents meet the IoT: Towards Cognitive and Interoperable Ecosystems of Networked Smart Objects."
The future Internet of Things (IoT) will enable a new and wide range of decentralized systems (e.g. from smart homes to smart cities) where "things," able to sense/actuate, compute and communicate with other machines and with humans, will play a central role. The growing importance of such novel cyberphysical network and technology demands suitable and effective paradigms able to fulfill the general and specific requirements of IoT systems engineering. In this tutorial, we propose the exploitation of the agent-oriented computing paradigm to support IoT systems analysis, design, and implementation. The synergic meeting of Agents with the IoT will make possible the development of dynamic IoT systems of diverse scales. First, we introduce background and literature about IoT, with a specific focus on IoT systems development along with currently available agent-oriented approaches. Then, we present in detail our agent-oriented approach specifically based on the ACOSO (Agent-based COoperating Smart Objects) Methodology and related middleware, which provides an effective agent programming model and an agent execution heterogeneous platform along with ad-hoc IoT tools for the construction of an IoT system in terms of a Multi-Agent System. A case study concerning the development of a "Smart University" system is described to show the flexibility and effectiveness of the proposed approach. Finally, future challenges will be delineated towards cloud-assisted agent-based approaches for IoT.

Interview Part 2: Sven Boekhorst about his career
Johannes Jacobi· January 23, 2013
Sven Boekhorst is a name that most of us got to know through TV and magazines more then 10 years ago. The Rollerblade Pro traveled the world to compete in the biggest events that ever happened in blading – and won most of them. Today he is focussing on his own show company and is working on unique projects with his friends and partners. In the first part of the interview he told us about his new project "Blackout" and today he will talk about about his career and future.
Pictures by Dominic Swagemakers
You recently announced that the Winterclash will be your last competition ever. Do you
want to tell us a little bit more? Why now, why the Winterclash and what's the whole
feeling behind it?
I guess the main reason is my age, and that I don't care so much about competing anymore,
and haven't really for the last 5 or 6 years. I've competed in enough competitions. I picked
Winterclash because it's the Winterclash, and it's in Holland. Sounds cool in combination.
Do you remember your first ever competition? Where and when was it and do you even
remember where you placed?
I think it was 1995 in Vlijmen, a small village close to Den Bosch (my hometown), in The
Netherlands. We found out there was a blader celebrating his 14th birthday with a competition and his mother
put 10,- Guilders (old Dutch currency, worth about €4) for first place. We went with our bikes
to this village to compete and meet the bladers from there. The contest/birthday was next to a
school, where they collected all the small rails and ramps and built their own street course.
A funny story is that the birthday boy turned out to be Randy Abels, who is still one of my best
friends and also still blading.
Any idea about how many competitions in total you've ever skated, or how many times
you've placed on the podium?
I think around 130 competitions, of which I made it 80 times in the top 3.
That you're going to stop competing doesn't mean that you will slow down in blading,
right? What else are you doing on blades right now?
At the moment I'm still blading and hopefully I can continue until I'm 70. Besides that I run my
own show company, which also organizes contests and runs workshops. It's not 100% confirmed
yet but the plan is that I'll get my own office in the new World Skate Center, so hopefully I'll do
more and more stuff with this as well.
If someone is interested in booking a lesson, how can they reach you and can everyone be
part of it?
Sure, send me an email — info@sb-events.nl
In your position as the Rollerblade Team manager, what's your main function?
Taking care of the flights, hotels and other stuff for the team weekends and contests.
Making sure we create some nice videos and photos. I'm also the contact person between them
and my boss, and to make sure they have their product and stuff.
Is there anything planned for the team for 2013 already?
Before Winterclash we want to shoot a video at a pretty cool spot in Holland with everybody.
Right now you're still deeply involved in blading. But what are you planning for the
future? Do you want to stay involved, or are there other things you want to try in future
and maybe get a job in a totally different direction?
It has already been in my mind for a couple of years to do something completely different. To
start some kind of study, but in the end it always goes back to blade stuff. So who knows about
2014. For this year I want see which way I can work more with my company together with the
new local indoor skatepark. I really hope we can push blading more and more in Den Bosch, as
the park has a really nice location for parents to bring their kids and besides that the park is going
to look really sick! The opening will be the 2nd of March 2013.
Despite travelling on various far-reaching world tours, do you feel being based in The
Netherlands has affected the opportunities and trajectory of your career? Do you feel
things would have been significantly different had you moved to California for a few years?
Maybe. ASA also gave me the opportunity to move to the USA so I would have more chances
for bigger sponsors and more shows. But at the time I was feeling home sick pretty quickly. The
max time for me abroad was 2/3 weeks. But in the end I'm happy how everything went and I
don't feel sorry I didn't do it.
What are your feelings on the current Dutch scene? Are you encouraged, and do you
feel it's well represented?
It's cool to see how people are getting along from each of the cities, and that there aren't really
groups that don't blade with each other. Especially with Winterclash it's cool to see that most of
the Dutch crowd is standing, jumping and drinking together!
Who do you think is the most exciting current prospect in Dutch blading, someone we
should all keep an eye out for this year?
Hmm I would say Edwin Wieringh. Everybody already knows how good he is, but somehow
he's not making the next step. Or not given the opportunity to. It's just crazy if you talk with the
guy how motivated he is. Another rider that really impressed me is Tasheed Zaalman from Rotterdam. Last year he won
the Dutch Championships junior and this year he won senior. Not sure if he will compete at
Winterclash. I hope so.
Are you proud of the strength and reputation of European blading, or do you see areas
which could flourish with some investment and encouragement? Further, where in Europe
is your favourite place to skate?
I think blading in Europe is really strong and we've got a lot of really impressive riders but
somehow the real smooth and stylish bladers are coming from the US. This was the case in 1995
and it still is. I don't really have a favourite place to blade. I always like to go to one of the big cities in
Europe: Berlin, Barcelona, Paris, London, Rome. But it's not only because of blading, just the
whole vibe around it.
You have been skating on Rollerblade for an awfully long time. Have you ever been
curious about other brands, and perhaps considered trying them out, away from cameras
and sponsor obligations? Do you think being on the RB boots for your whole career has
influenced your skating style?
Maybe but I don't really look at it that way. For me they were always nice and took care of me.
Of course there were periods when it was a bit less but that's the same in every relationship I
guess. In 1994 I skated on Roces and tried some other brands but in the end I got sponsored by
Rollerblade and stayed with them. If there was a brand I'd like to try once it would probably be
Adapt, because of the Dutch link, but I'm still cool with RB.
Thanks very much for your time Sven, and best of luck with SB-Events and the future!

Human Challenges
An Interview with Kirsten Mahon
by Gordon Nary
Gordon: Where did you receive your Masters in Chaplaincy and Pastoral Work and what was the most challenging course that you took?
Kirsten: I completed my Masters in Chaplaincy and Pastoral Work at Mater Dei College, Dublin. This was the most challenging course I took because I was very shy in starting the course. My Degree and Masters in Theology were more academic-based so I could essentially hide behind books. The Chaplaincy Masters focused more on personal development, professional development, and placement. I was blessed to have my placement in my home parish helping prepare children for their First Holy Communion. It helped my confidence to grow and pushed me outside my comfort zone.
Gordon: Why did you decide to be a youth evangelist and what are some of the challenges in youth evangelizing in Ireland?
Kirsten: The decision to become a youth evangelist had been percolating in my mind for many years. While I was working in St Peter's Church in Phibsborough, I was asked to be a part of the Parish Mission Team as a youth minister. It was an amazing opportunity to work with young people and help them come to know the Lord in their lives through testimony, prayer, and fellowship. In 2018, I made the move from parish work into youth evangelization with the Archdiocese of Dublin. Through working with groups of young people I have realized that faith is not something that they feel 100% open about discussing. Many of the young people I work with have the desire to engage in their faith but are essentially do not feel part of a community. The Archdiocese of Dublin through St Paul's Youth Outreach offers several initiatives that help build up skills of youth faith leadership, form communities and continue to help young people explore life, faith, and purpose.
Gordon: To what parish do you belong and what are some of the more rewarding experiences you have had at your parish?
Kirsten: I belong to St Mochtas Parish in Porterstown. I have been a part of this parish my whole life. It is a beautiful community, which has supported my family and myself through good and bad times. I was lucky enough to do a placement here for my master's in Chaplaincy. I worked with an amazing team on the children's liturgy. I also helped create and run a sacramental preparation program for children in the local educate together to school.
Gordon: For our readers who may not be aware of some of the political challenges in Ireland, please provide an overview of the abortion controversy.
Kirsten: Abortion was first banned in Ireland in 1861 by the Offences Against the Persons Act. In 1983, the eighth amendment of the constitution came into effect, which acknowledges the right to the life of the unborn, as equal to the right of life of the mother. In 2012, a young woman named Savita Halappanavar passed away in University Hospital Galway. She was 17 weeks pregnant. The cause of death was recorded as severe sepsis, E.coli in the bloodstream and a miscarriage at 17 weeks. Her death made national and international headlines and precipitated a huge rallying cry for changes to Irish law in respect of abortion. In 2013 The Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act was signed into law, legalizing abortion when doctors deem that a woman's life is at risk due to medical complications or if she is at risk of attempting suicide. It also introduces a maximum penalty of 14 years imprisonment for having or assisting in an unlawful abortion. In 2018 following recommendations made by the eight-amendment committee, a referendum was called on whether to repeal or keep the eighth amendments in the Irish law. On 25th May 2018, the eighth amendments was sadly repealed.
Gordon: You previously worked as a swimming instructor. Where did you work and what are some of the challenges in teaching children how to swim?
Kirsten: I taught swimming in Coolmine Sports Complex for 10 years. Probably the biggest challenged I faced was keeping their attention at times if you teach swimming you will know that children sometimes prefer playing under the water than listening to their teacher! But overall it was a great experience, especially when you see children that may have struggled to learn the skills of swimming progress into becoming very competent swimmer!
Gordon: Based on your experience, how is swimming instruction similar to evangelism?
Kirsten: Many people do not realize that sport has an important part to play in the development of our faith. Learning how to play a sport as part of a team, allows us to learn how to work together towards a common goal. Through team sports, we begin to focus on working hard for the teams benefit instead of for our benefit. This is important for us as Christians as it helps us to realize that we need to work together as a team in our Christian Mission – to live as God has asked us too. Even though swimming is looked at as an individual sport, I would always encourage the children I teach to support one another, celebrate each other achievements and help each other if they were struggling with some of the skills. It was important for me as a teacher that my students felt they were part of a team where they could be themselves and build each other up.

James Lear Penfold was one of seven children: four older sisters and two younger brothers. He married Ivy Crunden in 1899 when he was 23 and the 1901 census tells us that he was at that time living at Tortington, Arundel, with his wife, two year old daughter Violet, his brother Percy and Ivy's 13 year old sister. He and Percy worked at their father's business and were described as agricultural machinists.
Burrell Traction Engine No.2819 registration BP5913 – Built in 1906, it was one of more than 20 in use at Penfolds works at Tortington. It returned to Arundel in 1930 needing a full overhaul. The Arundel driver was said to be Bill Druce of Colworth.
The company began with five workers and by 1957 there were 138 people working for four companies and the boss still knew them all by name. These were Penfolds Builders Merchants (formed in the 1930s), Barnham Transport Company (1930s), Penfold Metallising Company (1947) and Penfold Ready Mixed Concrete Ltd (1950s). The companies moved with the times with the four sons, James Hugh Graham (known as Graham), Peter, Paul and David, taking an active part. The family lived next to the works in a house called Dial House.
Aggregates for the building trade and roadmaking took over from agriculture and later the Penfolds were a major producer of ready-mixed concrete; providing concrete for such buildings as the Festival Theatre in Chichester. At one time, the Penfolds worked sand and gravel pits in Eartham, Midhurst, Eastergate, Slindon and Washington.
James Lear Penfold died in 1959, just a few months before celebrating 50 years in Barnham. By this time, according to an article in the local Observer newspaper, the firm also had a depot at West Worthing, and wharves at Shoreham, Littlehampton and Newhaven. Their fleet consisted of over 50 vehicles.
His sons continued until 1967 when most of the businesses were sold to Ameys of Oxford (ARC). Bernard Geoffrey Ruddock (1910-1993) joined Penfold Metallising Company after World War II and became a co-director with two of the brothers. When the company came up for sale, Ruddock bought it and retained the name. This company is still trading in Barnham (in 2016) at the old Penfold site with Bernard's son Justin as managing director.

Global warming consensus: "load of hot air underpinned by fraud"
Rick December 2, 2009 Environment, Global Warming 49 Comments
The caca is hitting the rotary device:
THE scientific consensus that mankind has caused climate change was rocked yesterday as a leading academic called it a "load of hot air underpinned by fraud".
Professor Ian Plimer condemned the climate change lobby as "climate comrades" keeping the "gravy train" going.
In a controversial talk just days before the start of a climate summit attended by world leaders in Copenhagen, Prof Plimer said Governments were treating the public like "fools" and using climate change to increase taxes.
He said carbon dioxide has had no impact on temperature and that recent warming was part of the natural cycle of climate stretching over billions of years.
Do read the whole thing and become wiser… because clearly, the self-described wise on this are deluded, fraudulently so.
Speaking of delusional belief systems… let's go to Chuck Colson's latest piece substantiating the premise that global warming is less science and more religion:
In July 2008, Tim Nicholson was let go from his job at a property management firm. According to Nicholson, his dismissal was due to his beliefs about man-made global warming.
Nicholson calls man-made global warming "the most important issue of our time" and believes that "nothing should stand in the way of diverting this catastrophe." This led to "frequent clashes" with his co-workers over his concerns.
For instance, Nicholson, out of concern about excess CO2 emissions, refuses to fly. He objected when the firm's CEO flew someone from London to Ireland to retrieve his Blackberry.
When he was dismissed, Nicholson sued under Britain's Employment Equality act, specifically the part that prohibits discrimination on account of "religion and belief."
According to Nicholson, "Belief in man-made climate change is…a philosophical belief that reflects my moral and ethical values."
For its part, his former employer countered that "green views were political and based on science, as opposed to religious or philosophical in nature."
In what's being called a "landmark ruling," a British judge ruled for Nicholson, saying that "a belief in man-made climate change…is capable, if genuinely held, of being a philosophical belief for the purpose" of laws covering discrimination in employment.
The judge's ruling opens the door to the possibility of employees suing their employers "for failing to account for their green lifestyles, such as providing recycling facilities or offering low-carbon travel."
Theoretically, an employer could say "I need you in Helsinki by tomorrow," to which the employee could reply, "Too much carbon, we'll have to aim for next week, since I'll be going by bicycle, train, and boat."
The possibilities are, as advertisers say, endless.
Possibilities are indeed endless when truth is dismissed as opinion, the scientific method replaced by religious fervor and common sense thrown out the judicial window.
Al Gore and those who've perpetrated this global warming fraud on all of us need to pay a price for their crimes… especially when they've made millions, dare I say billions, in propagating the lie.

Didi to Delist From NYSE After Fiasco Year
Next June, Didi will expectedly shift to pink-sheet trading. Thus ends one of the worst China-U.S. trading runs.

(CapitalWatch, May 23, New York) Less than a year after it celebrated its New York IPO, shareholders of Didi Global (NYSE: DIDI) voted to delist the Chinese ride-hailing giant in final capitulation to Beijing regulators.
Didi has notified the New York Stock Exchange that it will proceed with the delisting of its American depositary shares after a confirmative shareholder vote. The company will file on or after June 2 and the delisting is expected to occur 10 days after the effectiveness of the filing, according to the statement. Didi will thus end its fiasco of a trading run in New York that began on June 30 of last year with a $4.4 billion deal.
The stock in Didi jumped in early trading, but reverted, trading flat at $1.50 per share in the afternoon. Uncertainty remains for Didi, as its Hong Kong listing remains in limbo. China's cybersecurity regulator is onto Didi for the apparent lack of safety of user data on its app – and the company will not be able to proceed to a Hong Kong listing until it clears all checkpoints.
It was reported that the cybersecurity watchdog has advised Didi to delay its U.S. listing, but Didi went through with the IPO. Now, in addition to implementing data safety changes, the company will likely pay a fine to the Chinese authorities in the settlement of the probe.
It was immediately after Didi's listing last year that China launched its crackdown on overseas listings, tightened its data security laws, and saw many a company's U.S. listing plans shelved. This followed an anti-monopoly clampdown that wiped hundreds of billions from Chinese techs' market values and turned investors this much more wary of regulatory risks.
The talk of Beijing's softening stance on innovative tech development and overseas capital raising by the companies surfaced only recently, nearly a year after the crackdown's launch.
Meanwhile, in the U.S., Didi faces an investigation by the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission.
Overall, Didi has lost about $70 billion of its market value, according to Bloomberg. Didi's shareholders include SoftBank Group (OTC: SFTBY), Tencent (HKEX: 0700; OTC: TCEHY), Uber (NYSE: UBER), BlackRock (NYSE: BLK), and Fidelity. Some hedge funds have already disposed of about $231.9 million worth of Didi shares in the first quarter, Bloomberg reported.
Upon its delisting from the NYSE, Didi will likely remain traded over the counter.

Mistaken Identity? The Case of New Mexico's "Hidden Jews"
Imagine descendants of Jews pursued by the Spanish Inquisition, still tending the dying embers of their faith among peasant Latinos in the American Southwest. The story has obvious resonance, and it has garnered considerable publicity. The truth of the matter may turn out to be vastly different, and nearly as improbable.
