I know it is fashionable to laugh at Red Ed and patronisingly say he's not that smart when it comes to economics. Except, he is VERY smart and was the Chancellor of the Exchequer's right-hand man when he worked alongside Gordon Brown before 2008.
It would be very trivial to suggest either Gordon Brown or Ed Miliband are stupid. Misguided, yes, and certainly socialists but they also have the requisite skills to create a socialist economy just not a free-market economy.
But I think it has come to a point in the year 2013, where the debate between socialism and free-market economics is becoming redundant, just like the old Left versus Right arguments. I am a strident believer in capitalism, which is the foundation for free-markets, but in my view capitalism, in the UK at least, is broken and no longer serves the masses. We need reform. When Margaret Thatcher unleashed the power of the market during her reign in the 1980s it was abundantly clear socialism and 90% income tax rates were strangling ordinary workers financially and something had to be done.
But once the blue touchpaper was lit it was very difficult to stop the subsequent chain reactions. Between 1985 and 2000 the good times were there for all to enjoy: privatised utilities gave shares to the masses (unlike the Royal Mail sale where most were locked out because of the £750 threshold), people were lifted out of the dirt (literally) in manual labour jobs and allowed to become bankers, IT consultants, small business owners because of mass deregulation and low taxes brought about by Thatcher's chancellors. The babyboomer generation fell smack bang right in the middle of the economic boom and they have done extremely well. As I am reminded when I see the new Range Rover parked outside my house as a babyboomer tends to his cash-buy terrace house a few doors down in preparation for renting it out!
But the wily boss class spotted an opportunity to get even richer and took control of the "free" market and since 2000, if not before in the 1990s, ordinary workers wages have been pushed down year-on-year. This does not just affect the unskilled and semi-skilled, but professionals in engineering, law and IT. Millions of people working in our biggest businesses haven't had an above inflation pay rise for almost 15 years whereas the boss class have seen their salaries rocket, with it now unheard of for a CEO not to take home at least £1 Million in cash each year – before bonus, share options and their pension.
The money is there. It's just now all funnelled to the top. This is why I scratch my head when I hear the boss class say with a dreaded look on their face that if they are forced to pay their employees a living wage, prices will need to go up. I'm not convinced anymore when there is such a gulf in wages between the top and the bottom of an organisation. There is clearly money about but perhaps greed has got the better of those at the top.
In the seventh largest economy on Earth, surely the private sector who create this wealth can afford to pay all employees enough so they don't have to choose between eating and heating each winter? I will be accused of being economically illiterate. So be it. But when there is such disparity of wealth in one of the world's richest countries, you have to question everything. When Labour brought in the Minimum Wage, the boss class said the world would end – except it didn't. Labour's Living Wage isn't even as half as radical as the Minimum Wage with a tax break being offered to businesses who pay it.

It was mid-week, a Wednesday and always a busy time at work. But I could not stay away from paying my respects to the greatest peacetime leader of the twentieth century.
I travelled down to London early yesterday morning, taking up a spot in St Paul's Churchyard with thousands of other mourners and supporters of Margaret Hilda Thatcher.
Whilst waiting for the funeral procession to arrive, the great and the good (and bad) arrived at the Cathedral. An amusing (and telling) moment was when former Labour prime minister Gordon Brown arrived and the crowd started booing and the paparazzi, stood on their step ladders behind me, shouted "Where's our gold, Gordon?". Brown swiftly scuttled into the church.
Outside, the pageantry was incredible and, frankly, Great Britain does these types of events better than any other nation on Earth, by quite some distance. I will never forget the sounds and sights of this historic day. At twenty past ten, the 1st Battalion Welsh Guards in their deep-red tunics and bearskin hats marched to the front of St Paul's Cathedral to form the Guard of Honour, then a single half-muffled bell of St Paul's began to toll as the funeral procession started its descent up Ludgate Hill.
We've had a lot of years of practice. When the procession arrived with Margaret Thatcher's union jack draped coffin atop a gun carriage of the The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery, if it were not for the plethora of cameras, mobile phones and camcorders, the visual feast had not changed in hundreds of years. Baroness Thatcher's funeral was on the same scale as the ceremonial funerals of Wellington, Nelson and Churchill and she deservedly ranks alongside these great figures from history. The presence of Her Majesty The Queen in St Paul's Cathedral made this a State Funeral in all but name.
As Margaret Thatcher's coffin came into view the crowds spontaneously applauded and cheered the Great Lady. The silent majority were heard. Thousands lined the streets with the crowds twelve-deep in places. No other prime minister since Churchill would garner this amount of respect. Some held placards simply saying "Thank you". The fears of mass protests and even acts of violence did not materialise.
Baroness Thatcher's coffin was drawn to the steps of St Paul's where it was then carried up to the West Door of the Cathedral by the bearer party made up of eight personnel from all three Armed Services, including those from ships, units and stations notable for their service during the Falklands War, when Mrs Thatcher ordered the fleet to set sail and liberate the Falkland Islands from the Argentine military junta.
As her coffin, in perfect silence apart from the tolling of the bell, slipped into the Cathedral, I bowed and offered up a prayer for the greatest of ladies in the history of our country. The West Door was then shut and the funeral began inside for the family and invited guests.
Margaret Thatcher's leadership and her policies, which saved Great Britain and helped free millions from Communist slavery, will be discussed in 100, 200, 300 years time. It is not the end of Thatcherism but the beginning. She lives on in the much better world she created here and abroad and it is up to people like me and my fellow Thatcherites to carry forward her True Blue torch, which I intend to do, not just in words but in deeds too.

It's November 22nd 1990 and the Iron Lady has just been forced to resign by the Tory Toffs who decided to take "their" Party back. She then dutifully attends the House of Commons to respond to a vote of no confidence motion by the Labour Party, surrounded by the men in grey suits who betrayed her.
And this is her response: a tour de force of political debating in the Mother of all Parliaments.
For 23 years there has not been a leader like her and there is unlikely to be for a long time to come.

Talk to anyone who was living in Britain in the late 1970s and they will tell you this: our country was on the rocks, our European cousins across the channel sniggered we were the "sick man of Europe", the dead were left unburied during the Winter of Discontent, the trade union barons ran the country enjoying beer and sandwiches in Number 10.
Then came the election of the first female prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, in 1979 and the rot was stopped.
But by the time she was ousted from office, she had done what she set out to do. Mrs Thatcher took Britain from being a basket case where the previous Labour Government had been forced to call in the IMF into the fourth largest economy on Earth by the time she left Downing Street after eleven years in 1990. Thatcher transformed Britain and no other peacetime prime minister has ever come close to securing such a lasting legacy.
This very day, we only need to look around, and we can see her legacy. Privatisation of our public utility companies brought wealth through shareholdings to millions of people who had never had a stake in a company. I work for one such company – BT – and it is a far better run company for being publicly owned than it ever was as a State-run organisation. Back in the 1970s, owning a car and going abroad on holiday were still a luxury – today, many families have multiple cars and many more go abroad on holiday at least once a year! How do you think this happened? It didn't magically occur. It was created by the economic reforms Margaret Thatcher, along with her trusted advisors like Keith Joseph and Willie Whitelaw, put in place. Mrs Thatcher unleashed an entrepreneurial revolution, removing regulation to help small businesses start up and thrive. The reforms in the City of London, notably the 'Big Bang' of 1986, made London's financial services industry a rival to Wall Street and overnight brought down barriers to employment in the sector: out went the old-boys' network, in came the 'barrow boys'.
Millions and millions of baby boomers today are living high on the hog because of Margaret Thatcher. I wish I was part of my parent's generation rather than starting my career in the early noughties whilst Labour were taking a wrecking ball to the British economy once again.
Back in the 1980s, Mrs Thatcher put the power back in the hands of the people and out of the hands of the elite trade union barons who until Maggie came along were quaffing beer and munching on sandwiches with THEIR Labour prime minister in Downing Street. Thatcher crushed the unions who had held an economic gun to the head of Britain for too long and because of parliamentary legislation she passed they will never be able to threaten our country's economy again.
Margaret Thatcher was not just a political heavyweight domestically but also internationally. When a military junta in Argentina invaded a small British sovereign territory, called the Falkland Islands, 8000 miles away from the UK, which most of the British population had never heard of, Thatcher did not flinch. Instead she ordered the fleet to sail for Port Stanley and, when there was not a large enough troop carrier available to the Ministry of Defence, she commandeered a cruise liner to ferry our troops to the South Atlantic.
We now know Ronald Reagan, through the release of the Thatcher files under the Thirty-Year Rule, did not support her campaign to retake the Falkland Islands and he encouraged her to not "humiliate" the Argentines and to pull back. She refused and two weeks later the Union Jack was flying once again over the Governor's House in Port Stanley.
Then there was the Soviet Union. Red Star, a USSR propaganda sheet, dubbed her (even before she became Prime Minister) the Iron Lady for her strong will. She detested Socialism and Communism in all their forms. Thatcher saw millions of fellow Europeans trapped behind the Iron Curtain in countries like Hungary, Romania and Poland under oppressive regimes with their economies shattered. Together with Ronald Reagan, who adored her steadfast leadership style, they defeated Communism in Europe and ended the Cold War, allowing tens of millions of people to travel abroad and unleashing their talents into the global economy.
In Hungary, high schools have a dedicated page in their history course books to only one UK prime minister: Margaret Thatcher.
Unlike the British Conservative Party leadership of today, Margaret Thatcher did understand the aspiring class. She was the daughter of a green grocer who worked her way up and, granted, through the love of her husband Denis, his wealth allowed her to leave her trades of Chemistry and the Law to become Conservative Party Leader and then prime minister in 1979. But she never forgot where she came from and instinctively understood people who were thriving and trying to get on. Maggie always knew the price of a pint of milk!
Margaret Thatcher was a major national and international figure, whatever your politics. She ranks alongside Wellington, Palmerston, Gladstone and Churchill. Unlike them she ordered before her death that she did not want her body to lie in State and therefore she will not have a State Funeral but will be afforded a Ceremonial Funeral in St Paul's Cathedral with full military honours. It will be the same form of funeral as the Queen Mother in 2002. This is entirely fitting for a woman who was one of the greatest world leaders of the Twentieth Century.
As the current Prime Minister David Cameron said on this sad day, Margaret Thatcher "saved" our country. Frankly, she put the Great back in to Great Britain.
May this great lady rest in peace.

Is the 11:11 Phenomenon Real or Fake?
By Amy Brannan / November 1, 2021 / 15 Comments / 11 minutes of reading
For those who believe, the 11:11 phenomenon has been experienced throughout the history of the planet. For those unfamiliar with the 11:11 phenomenon however, it can be a confusing and worrisome concept. Below we will take a look at just what this phenomenon is, what it means and its significance to everyday life.
What is the 11:11 Phenomenon?
The 11:11 phenomenon is a numerological belief that highlights the importance of the numbers 11:11 in world events. Many people are familiar with the concept of making a wish when they spot the numbers 11:11 on a clock – this stems from the belief that 11:11 on a clock is an auspicious sign and the perfect example of the 11:11 phenomenon. Depending who you ask the interpretation of the appearance of 11:11 is varied. Some people believe that this phenomenon is simply auspicious, some believe it is a time that possesses "magical power" and some believe that it is a time that symbolizes the presence of a spirit.
Who is Behind the 11:11 Theory?
The exact origin of 11:11 in numerology is unsure; however, one figure that plays a significant role in the 11:11 phenomenon is Uri Geller. Uri Geller is known for his examples of the 11:11 playing in to various world events.
Who is Uri Geller?
Uri Geller is a self-proclaimed psychic who was born on December 20, 1946. Throughout his history as a psychic, Geller has made numerous appearances on television showing off his "abilities" in telepathy, dowsing and psychokinesis. While many of Geller's followers believe in his abilities, many others believe that he merely uses stage magic rather than some psychic ability. This discrediting puts Geller in a precarious position and makes many doubt his "talents."
Geller claims that he first began experiencing what he calls the 11:11 phenomenon when he was 40 years old. At this time he said he would be compelled to look at the clock and notice that the time read 11:11 each time. Geller later found that many others worldwide were experiencing the same phenomenon, yet he had no true explanation for it. As a self-proclaimed psychic, Geller claims the he has a feeling that the 11:11 phenomenon is a positive thing. Geller claims that the number 11 to him represents the need to find balance and shirk the superficiality that commonly accompanies life in modern-day society.
For those unfamiliar with physics, string theory is believed to be the theory of everything. It is used to describe everything in the universe from force to matter regardless of its significance or insignificance. Geller makes a point to draw attention to the fact that string theory contains a number of "11"s.
The first occurrence of the number 11 in string theory is the number of parallel universes mentioned: 11. These parallel universes are a crucial part of the string theory. The second occurrence of the number 11 is the number of letters in Brian Greene's name. Greene is a physicist and author of the book The Elegant Universe: Superstrings, Hidden Dimensions, and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory, which is devoted to explaining string theory. Geller also points out that Isaac Newton and John Schwarz also have 11 letters in their names and played a crucial part in string theory development.
Learn more about Brian Greene and his thoughts on string theory:
Uri Geller Takes 11:11 Out of String Theory
Geller does not only use string theory to explain the 11:11 phenomenon, he also takes a look at mathematics as they occur outside of physics. Geller points to the appearance of 11:11 in unary arithmetic. Some of the beliefs that Geller points to include the following as found in his article on the 11:11 phenomenon:
(a): 11=3, in binary arithmetic. 3 is the cornerstone of the trinity and also Hinduism.
(b): 1 male + 1 female are needed to produce 1 child. Ergo, 1 + 1 = 3, in reproduction.
(c): The building block of all existence since "the Big Bang" is Hydrogen, which through nuclear fusion has produced all the other atoms known to humankind. Hydrogen is another 11, in binary. Another 3: 1 electron, 1 proton and 1 neutron.
(d): The Yin and the Yang are also 11 – two ones of opposite kind, reflecting the duality of the universe in eastern religions and modern computer technology.
(e): Following year 1BC is the year 1AD – another 11, since our modern calendar has no year 0, which is why the 21st century officially began on Jan 1st, 2001.
(f): And finally there is the oddity of the number 10, which historically grew out of counting on our fingers. The oddity is that 10 = 1010 in binary arithmetic – 10:10. HOWEVER, if you count the fingers on your hands in unary arithmetic – no zeros – then 10 fingers, in unary mathematics, = 11111111111 – EXACTLY 11 ONES.
Religious Events and 11:11
According to those who believe in the 11:11 phenomenon, there are a number of significant religious events which link to the number 11 as well. One prominent theory in this vein of thought is that Jesus Christ himself was born on September 11, 3 B.C. This calculation was made by Dr. Ernest L. Martin who utilized celestial charts for the town of Bethlehem to predict the birth date of Christ based upon the appearance of the famed "star". Additionally, believers also point out that the name Jesus Christ has 11 letters, another appearance of the mysterious number 11.
Furthermore, the number 11 becomes prominent in examining the text of the Hebrew scriptures. These scriptures claim that September 11, 1999 celebrated the 6,000th anniversary of the creation of Adam – year 1 in the Hebrew calendar.
11:11 as a Number
When looking at 11:11 as a number, Uri Geller points out that if you multiply the number 1111 by 1111 the resulting number, 1234321 is representative of a pyramid. When it comes to pyramids the number 11 is considered "sacred" in that it plays a considerable role in proportions. The proportions of the great pyramid itself are 7:11. Geller also points out that the number 11 is considered to be "harmonious" with Pi. These factors for Geller point to the fact that the number 11 is an integral part of the mathematical infrastructure of the entire universe.
11:11 in Today's Society
The most prominent factor in today's society is undoubtedly technology. This technology, for the most part, relies upon binary code. Binary code relies upon a system of 0's and 1's to communicate – think of this as an electronic language. The prevalence of the number 11 in binary code is frequently cited as a reference to the 11:11 phenomenon by those who believe.
There is certainly no mention of the number 11 in the world's recent history without paying homage to those who died on September 11, 2001. While those who believe in numerology and the concept of the 11:11 phenomenon claim that while the events of that day were a tragedy, they served as a "wake up call" for the American nation. These people, including Uri Geller, believe that the events of September 11, 2001 could have been much worse than they were. Geller also states that this number was likely selected by those responsible for the attacks as a "cruel joke" to play on the importance of the number 11 to Americans. This belief is of little comfort to those who lost family during the attacks and the warfare that has followed.
Other Instances of 11:11
Scouring any number of websites and reading materials dedicated to the 11:11 phenomenon will recover a considerable number of events that have in some way been linked to the number 11.
The Mayan end year for the year 2012 is at 11:11 Universal time.
The crop formation known as "Swallows" is believed to have a connection to the 11:11 Doorway in the Belt of Orion.
The Berlin Wall came down on 11/11/1989.
Nelson Mandela was released on 2/11/1990.
September 11th is the 254th day of the year: 2+5+4 = 11.
The Twin Towers standing side by side, looks like the number 11 The first plane to hit the towers was Flight 11 by American Airlines or AA -> A=1st letter in alphabet so we have 11:11 The first tower collapsed in eleven seconds. Encarta World Atlas says that New York City and the World Trade Center fall exactly on 74 degrees west, 7+4 = 11 Flight #11 – 2 pilots + 9 attendants = 11 in the crew Flight #175 – 65 on board – 6+5=11.
The State of New York was the 11th State added to the Union.
The book of revelations is powerful and has significant meaning relating to these numbers! You might want to read these verses 101, 1001, 1010. 1011, 1101, 1110, and 1111.
111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 1,2,345,678,987,654,321.
The first telephone call by Alexander G. Bell was made on March 11, 1876.
The Lourdes vision was seen on February 11, 1858.

The Egyptian Ruler Tutankhamen (11 letters) died in January 1323 BC. He was the 11th Ruler of the 18th dynasty.
In 1211 Genghis Khan (11 letters) breached the Great Wall of China.
The following names, words or terms all have letters which add up to the number 11: Nuclear Bomb, The Civil War, Josef Stalin, Shimon Perez, Ariel Sharon, Jesus Christ, Nostradamus, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter, Antony Blair, Colin Powell, Adolf Hitler, John Kennedy and Barack Obama.
The $100 dollar bill features the Independence Hall which has 11 windows on each side. 11 windows on the left side and 11 windows on the right side results in the number 1111.
So What Does the 11:11 Phenomenon Mean?
The funny thing is that no one exactly knows what the 11:11 phenomenon means. No one is sure why it happens or even if it is a phenomenon at all. For Uri Geller and those who believe in numerology however, there is an idea that the "phenomenon" means "something." Geller believes that a significant part of the 11:11 phenomenon is choosing between optimism and pessimism. In Geller's belief system, the recurrence of the numbers 11:11, 11:01, 11:10, 10:01, 10:11, 10:10, 1:01 and 11:11 are all representative of a positive connection within the universe. Geller also believes that these numbers play a role in establishing a gateway to the mysteries of the universe as well as beyond our universe.
Geller also emphasizes the role of the number 11:11 in the human brain. According to his theories, Uri Geller believes that the number 11:11 serves as a trigger of remembrance. He believes that 11:11 is a number that is pre-encoded as a trigger inside the memory banks of human beings before we became human beings. Geller states that when this trigger is activated it refers to our "completion of duality" and indicates that our "time of completion is near." What does this mean exactly? According to Geller, it means that a moment has occurred for us to wake up and reflect. During this moment a channel has opened up between the individual and the "Invisible." What should one do with this channel? According to Geller, it should be used to reflect, pray, meditate and "Seed" one's future. In other words the "opportunity" presented by 11:11 should be taken as a moment of Divine Intervention in which the individual is being instructed to take a "time out" from the world and reflect.
The Visual Representation of the 11:11 Phenomenon
Uri Geller states that the 11:11 phenomenon should be seen as a "crack between two worlds." The phenomenon is representative of a linking together of great energies that are united to create on great force that creates a door to an Invisible realm. Geller likens this to an entirely new concept of evolution.
Is Geller the Only One to Believe in the 11:11 Phenomenon?
In this piece we have focused on Uri Geller as a keystone for the 11:11 phenomenon. There are many more individuals however, who believe that the number 11:11 plays a significant role in to our lives as human beings. Geller is highlighted simply due to the fact that he has played such a significant role in publicizing the theory. A simple Internet search for numerology and the 11:11 phenomenon will reveal a great number of believers who assign any number of meanings to the appearance of the number 11:11 in their life. Surprisingly, a number of those believers are prominent figures who hold educational degrees in a number of fact based fields, proving that not everyone who subscribes to the 11:11 theory is a self-professed psychic.
Does the 11:11 Phenomenon Hold the Key?
The question remains however, does the 11:11 phenomenon hold the key? If you were to ask Uri Geller, he would state that this significant number has the ability to answer all of the unanswerable questions of the universe; that it can serve as our "decoder" for all of the mysteries that we do not understand. Ask skeptics of the 11:11 theory and they will tell you that Geller is a quack, that just about anything can mean something if they want it to.
What do you think about these theories surrounding the number 11?

I am no believer of magic and superstitions but I find it interesting that multiple times a day I come across 11. Mostly in clocks but that's not the only source. There are important events in my life that is connected to the date 11. It just varies from time to time like door numbers, token number, parking number and what not. May be I am too much watchful for 11 (or) may be it just happening to me. One thing that found interesting that the occurrence was at peak during 2014 to 2018. I still do see 11 crossing paths but I believe the frequency is noticeably low.
I am huge fan of 11 irrespective of being is magical or not. All the events that are connected to 11 does not have negative impact. I am attracted to 11 to a extent that I influenced naming one of website.
Its just a small contribution for the believers of 11.
Numerology isn't biblical and it is dangerous! Occultism, plain and simple. Don't be deceived!

I find it interesting that this 11:11 thingy only started happening relatively recently? I wonder if it is satanic in origin and more people are experiencing it because the antichrist is close? I don't believe they are 'angel' numbers.

Interesting! satan sure is busy.
11 has been very bad for me. Can anyone explain it? Similarly 57. Thanks
What does 10 10 mean? If anything, that is!

For the past I'd say 9-10 months I've been seeing 1:11-11:10-10:11-9:11-11:11-11:01 and such. I am going through a tough family time right now and honestly have been struggling with religious views. I REALLY would like to know what these strange reputatious occurrences mean. Kind of brain wracking but still, good artical.
DR.BRENDT
I've done some research on this, this is just a fake way to make people, citizens to believe.
It has no simple proof of any of this.

Reply to DR.BRENDT
11:11 is real. There are tests on YT for us Indigo children can take to verify if we are Indigo or not. If the individual sees 11:11 in the videos that others wouldn't see, then that person is a Indigo child. There are many other explanations I can explain and prove.
This is indicative of the time remaining for life on our planet. KJV CH:30 v:26 oh no go figure it yourself!

A Raleigh, N.C., eight-year-old has collected more than 1,000 pounds of food.
"Have there been times in the past twelve months when you did not have enough money to buy food that you or your family needed?" In North Carolina, one in five households answered yes to this question.
It's worrying statistics like these that drives little William Winslow's ambitious plan to end hunger in his community. Last year alone, he collected more than 1,400 pounds of food and more than $300 in donations, Raleigh news station WRAL reports. Even more incredibly is the fact that William is nowhere near his goal. The eight-year-old boy hopes to raise five times that amount this year, plus he's planning a state-wide food drive next year.
"It just makes me feel bad when I hear that kids in my class are hungry," he told the television station.
William recently held his second annual food drive for BackPack Buddies, a food shuttle program that provides healthy meals to low-income families on the weekend.
We all know that hunger isn't just a problem in North Carolina. In fact, one in six people — including one in five children — face hunger every day. No one deserves to go hungry, and it takes big hearts like William Winslow's to make a difference.

Luis Severino (born February 20, 1994) is a Dominican professional baseball pitcher for the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball (MLB). He made his Major League debut in 2015. After a rough 2016 season, he broke out as one of the league's best pitchers in 2017, being named an All-Star and finishing third in the American League Cy Young Award vote.

Career highlights and awards
2× All-Star (2017, 2018)
Minor leaguesEdit
Severino signed with the New York Yankees as an international free agent on December 26, 2011, agreeing on a $225,000 signing bonus.[1] He had agreed to terms to sign with the Colorado Rockies, but a Yankees scout matched their offer and convinced Severino to play for the team he had grown up as a fan of.[2] At the time, he could throw his fastball at 91 miles per hour (146 km/h).[3] He made his professional debut for the Dominican Summer League (DSL) Yankees 1 that year. He started 14 games, pitching to a 4–2 win-loss record with a 1.68 earned run average (ERA) and 45 strikeouts in 64 1⁄3 innings. He started 2013 with the DSL Yankees 1 and was promoted to the Charleston RiverDogs of the Class A South Atlantic League during the season. He finished 4–2 with a 2.45 ERA, 53 strikeouts over 44 innings in 10 games (eight starts).[4] His fastball velocity reached 97 miles per hour (156 km/h) at Charleston.[3]
Severino pitching for the Trenton Thunder in 2014
Prior to the 2014 season, Baseball America ranked him as the Yankees ninth-best prospect.[4] Severino started the season with Charleston before being promoted to the Tampa Yankees of the Class A-Advanced Florida State League. After his promotion to Tampa, he was selected to appear in the 2014 All-Star Futures Game in July.[5] After the Futures Game, he was again promoted, to the Trenton Thunder of the Class AA Eastern League.[1] Combined between the three teams, Severino went 6–5 win-loss record with a 2.46 ERA, 127 strikeouts, and 27 walks in 24 games (all starts) and 113 innings pitched.[6] Before the start of the 2015 season, Severino was ranked the best prospect in the Yankees farm system and the 23rd best out of all minor league players by MLB Pipeline. He was ranked 35th by Baseball America.[7]
Severino began the 2015 season with Trenton, where he had a 2–2 win-loss record with a 3.32 ERA and 48 strikeouts in 38 innings pitched across eight games started. He received a promotion to the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders of the Class AAA International League, where he worked with RailRiders' pitching coach Scott Aldred to improve his pitching delivery. Severino pitched to a 7–0 win-loss record and a 1.91 ERA in 11 games started for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre through the end of July.[8] With the Yankees in the postseason race, the Yankees made Severino unavailable in trade discussions for pitchers David Price, Cole Hamels, and Johnny Cueto at the MLB trade deadline of July 31.[9][10][11]
New York YankeesEdit
With a late-July injury to Michael Pineda,[12] and the Yankees not acquiring a starting pitcher before the trade deadline, Brian Cashman, the general manager of the Yankees, announced that Severino's next start would come in the major leagues against the Boston Red Sox, the primary rival of the Yankees, at Yankee Stadium.[13] Though Severino set a career-high with 113 innings pitched in the 2014 season, Cashman said that Severino would not be limited in how many innings he throws over the remainder of the 2015 season, in part because they limited his innings earlier in the season.[8]
Yankees' manager Joe Girardi set Severino's major league debut for August 5.[14] Severino pitched five innings in his debut, allowing two hits, two runs (one earned), with seven strikeouts and no walks. At age 21, he was the youngest pitcher to make a start 2015 MLB season.[15] Additionally, he became the first AL pitcher in MLB history to strike out seven hitters while walking none and allowing no more than two hits in their major league debut.[16][17] He ended his rookie season having started 11 games, pitching 62 1⁄3 innings with a 5–3 record, 2.89 ERA and 56 strikeouts.[18]
Severino began the 2016 season in the Yankees starting rotation.[19] In a game against the Chicago White Sox on May 13, 2016, Severino left the game with an apparent injury after giving up 7 runs in 2.2 innings. The next day, he was placed on the 15-day disabled list due to right triceps inflammation.[20] On May 30, 2016, he was activated from the disabled list, and optioned to the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. He was called back up on July 25 and was primarily used as a reliever for the remainder of the season.[21] On September 26, Severino was ejected for the first time in his Major League career after hitting Justin Smoak with a pitch. This followed after he hit Josh Donaldson on the elbow and Blue Jays starter J.A. Happ hit Chase Headley with a pitch in the first inning.
Severino finished the 2016 season with a 3–8 record and an ERA of 5.83.[18] In his 11 starts, he went 0–8 with an 8.50 ERA and 1.78 WHIP. However, in his 11 relief appearances, he went 3–0 with a 0.39 ERA and 0.77 WHIP.[22]
Following Spring Training, Severino was named the Yankees fourth starter. On April 13, 2017, Severino struck out a career-high 11 batters in seven innings as the Yankees won 3–2 over the Tampa Bay Rays.[23] In his following start, Severino struck out 10 batters in a career-high eight innings in a 4–1 loss to the Chicago White Sox. On April 26, Severino pitched seven shutout innings against the Boston Red Sox. On May 24, Severino pitched eight shutout innings against the Kansas City Royals. As of June 10, he had a 5–2 record with a 2.75 ERA.[24] In a no-decision, he struck out a career-high 12 batters in seven innings against the White Sox on June 27 as the bullpen blew a lead for the sixth time in Severino's starts. Despite his strong start, Severino struggled to end the first half, allowing 16 earned runs in four starts from June 15 to July 2, for a 7.03 ERA in that span.[24] He finished his first half on a high note though, striking out 10 batters over seven innings of three-run ball against the Milwaukee Brewers on July 8, his fourth start of the season with at least 10 strikeouts. Severino was named to the American League All-Star team alongside his teammates Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Starlin Castro and Dellin Betances. In the first half of the season, he had posted a 5–4 record with a 3.54 ERA and 124 strikeouts in 106⅓ innings. His 10.50 strikeout per-9 ratio ranked in the top five of the American League.
Severino started the second half strong, first matching Chris Sale by allowing one run over seven innings in a pitcher's duel against the Red Sox.[25] In his next start, he fired seven shutout innings against the Seattle Mariners[26] and then allowed zero earned runs in seven innings against the Cincinnati Reds.[27] As of July 27, Severino was tied with Max Scherzer for second-most starts (8) of at least seven innings pitched with one earned run or less in the 2017 season, behind Clayton Kershaw's 11.[28] On August 17, 2017, Severino collected his first Major League hit off Steven Matz against the New York Mets. He collected his 11th win holding the Detroit Tigers to one earned run over 6⅔ innings with eight strikeouts on August 23. On September 3, against the Boston Red Sox, Severino struck out his 200th batter of the season, becoming the second-youngest Yankee in franchise history with 200 strikeouts in one season behind Al Downing in 1964. In the second half of the season, he went 9–2 with a 2.28 ERA in 14 starts, allowing no more than one earned run in ten of those starts.[29]
Severino ended the season having thrown a career-high 193 1⁄3 innings in 31 starts, with a 14–6 record, 2.98 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, .208 opponent batting average, 5.3 bWAR, 5.7 fWAR and 230 strikeouts, tied with CC Sabathia for the third-most single-season strikeouts in Yankees history, and the most strikeouts in a single season by a right-handed pitcher in Yankees history in the Modern Era (post 1920).[29] He also became the first Yankee starter to qualify for the ERA title with a sub-3.00 ERA since David Cone and Andy Pettitte both did so in 1997 and the youngest Yankee starter to do so since Dave Righetti in 1981. His 16 starts of one run allowed or less led the major leagues, additionally he was the first Yankee starter to have 16 starts with one or no runs allowed in a single season since Mike Mussina in 2001 and the youngest pitcher in the major leagues to reach this mark since Dwight Gooden in 1985. He also became the first American League pitcher with an ERA below 3.00 and 230 or more strikeouts in their age-23 season or younger since Roger Clemens in 1986.[30] He led all major league pitchers with an average fastball velocity of 97.6 miles per hour.[31]
Severino was chosen to start the 2017 American League Wild Card Game; he was removed from the game after giving up three earned runs in one-third of an inning, tied for the shortest outing by a Yankees pitcher in the postseason.[32] He went on to finish the 2017 postseason with a 1-1 record and a 5.68 ERA in 16 innings (4 starts) as the Yankees lost to the Houston Astros in seven games in the American League Championship Series. On November 6, Severino was named a finalist for the American League Cy Young Award. He finished third in the voting, behind Corey Kluber and Chris Sale. He received 20 third-place votes, 6 fourth-place votes and 1 fifth place vote, for a total of 73 points.
On March 17, 2018, the Yankees named Severino their Opening Day starter.[33] He struck out seven and allowed one hit in 5 2⁄3 innings against the Toronto Blue Jays.[34] On May 2, 2018, against the Houston Astros, Severino pitched a complete game for the first time in his major league career, shutting out the Astros 4–0. Severino allowed zero runs and struck out 10.[35] From April 16 to June 4, Severino posted ten consecutive quality starts of at least six innings pitched and three earned runs or less allowed (in six of those he allowed one or no earned runs), during this time span he went 7–0 with a 1.85 ERA in 68 innings, giving up only 45 hits (4 home runs), striking out 82, walking just 14 batters, and limiting opponents to a .184 batting average. Severino earned his 10th win of the season on June 16 after limiting the Rays to three hits and two walks in eight shutout innings with nine strikeouts, double his win count prior to the All-Star break in 2017, and becoming the first Yankee pitcher to win 10 or more games prior to the All-Star break since Masahiro Tanaka in 2014. On July 1, Severino became the first Yankee since CC Sabathia in 2011 to win 13 games prior to the All-Star break after throwing 6 2⁄3 shutout innings to beat the Red Sox.
Owning a 14-2 record and a 2.12 ERA, Severino was named to the 2018 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, his second consecutive selection.[36] He finished the first half of the season 14–2 with a 2.31 ERA in 20 starts, with 144 strikeouts against 32 walks in 128 1⁄3 innings and posting a .209 opponent batting average and 1.01 WHIP. Severino became the first Yankees pitcher to enter the All-Star break with 14 wins since Mel Stottlemyre in 1969 and only the fourth to ever do so (Lefty Gomez and Whitey Ford did so in 1934 and 1961 respectively, with Ford holding the club record for most pre-All Star game wins with 16).
For the season, he was 19-8, with a 3.39 ERA. He had the highest line drive percentage allowed (25.9%) of all major league pitchers.[37] For the second consecutive year, he led all major league pitchers with an average fastball velocity of 97.6 miles per hour.[38]
Severino started the 2018 American League Wild Card Game.[39]
On February 15, 2019, Severino signed a four-year, $40 million contract extension that included a club option for a fifth season worth an additional $12.25 million.[40]
On March 15, it was revealed that Severino was diagnosed with rotator cuff inflammation on his right shoulder. This put him out of action for all of April.[41] On April 9, it was revealed that Severino was diagnosed with a Grade 2 lat strain, ruling him out for an additional six weeks.[42]
Pitching styleEdit
With a three-quarters delivery, Severino currently throws three pitches: a four-seam fastball averaging 97 mph,[43] a slider, and a change-up.[44] His fastball was clocked at 101 mph in 2017.[45] His average spin rate for sliders was ranked no. 2 in the MLB (2910 rpm) behind Garrett Richards (2919 rpm).[46]
Severino is from Sabana de la Mar, in the Hato Mayor province of the Dominican Republic. He grew up a fan of the Yankees, particularly fellow Dominican Robinson Canó.[47] Severino and his wife, Rosmaly, have one daughter, who was born in July 2015.[48]

Providing Care in El Salvador
Earlier this summer, 21 Project HOPE volunteers provided medical care and health education in El Salvador. Read their stories.
A wave of relief came as the USNS Comfort docked in Acajutla, El Salvador after three days of swaying at sea. El Salvador was the first pier-side port since Ecuador, so mobilization to the sites is as easy as walking off the ship and waiting for a bus.
HOPE volunteer, Christy Manso was one of the first volunteers to get out to a medical site in El Salvador. "It was pretty organized site and we had a nice space to work in," she says of the canvas-covered amphitheater she worked in all day.
El Salvador's Ministry of Health set up a health fair in front of the site which included HIV education tables and an art station for the kids, according to Manso who was pleasantly surprised.
The Continuing Promise 2011 medical team screened 118 people and booked 63 patients for surgery and treated 582 patients on the first day at the site. The ship actually has the capacity to serve 93 cases for surgery during the week the team is in El Salvador.
While some of the medical professionals were busy with the first day of screenings, the U.S. Fleet Forces Band belted out National Anthems for each country and young vocational school nurses in El Salvador waived small flags to greet the distinguished guests on the pier during the opening ceremonies. The mayor of Acajutla, Isabel Aleman, and the U.S. Ambassador, Mari Carmen Aponte were among the guests and crowd of about 75 people who attended the festivities.
"It's about people helping people," says Commodore Brian Nickerson at the opening ceremony on the pier.
Thirteen new HOPE volunteers arrived on the ship with smiles and excitement. Soon they too will be in the thick treating patients at the medical sites and on board the ship.

Hawaii: Ex-Member Tries to Make His Case Again
By Shira Toeplitz
Former Rep. Ed Case (D) is running for Congress again, this time in retiring Rep. Neil Abercrombie's (D) district.
Case, who represented the 2nd district for five years, announced Saturday that he would seek the Democratic nod in the Honolulubased 1st district. Abercrombie is running for governor in 2010.
"Congressman Abercrombie's departure will leave a huge puka in our congressional delegation at a critical time for our Hawai'i and country, and we must fill it without missing a beat,— Case said in a statement. "I can and will put my seniority, experience and relationships in D.C. to work on our challenges from day one.—
But Case isn't the only Democrat looking at Abercrombie's seat. Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann, state House Majority Leader Kirk Caldwell, state Senate President Colleen Hanabusa and former state Rep. Brian Schatz have also been mentioned as possible candidates.
What's more, Honolulu City Councilman Charles Djou (R) started fundraising for the 2010 race more than a year ago — although the district is an uphill climb for any Republican candidate. Djou welcomed Case to the race in a statement.
"I enjoyed serving with Ed in the State legislature and I know that he has had a difficult time deciding which seat to run for,— Djou said. "I welcome the competition now that he has decided to run for the 1st Congressional district even though he represented the 2nd.—

A MOST AGREEABLE PASTIME
Video games, Victorian style. Welcome to The Manor.
From The Armchair: So Long, Kinect
Lucius P. Merriweather 17 May 2014 From The Armchair, Opinions
What ho, chums.
Well, what an exciting week it's been in the world o' gaming. For a start it's been an absolute rollercoaster ride for Nintendo: first they announced another loss on the back of dismal Wii U sales, then everyone got excited about the reveal of Skylanders-style figurines based on Mario and his ilk, then it all went horribly tits up when Nintendo of America decided to retreat into the 1970s in regards to gay relationships in Tomodachi Life (a story that even made BBC News, and which I intend to explore a bit further in a later post) and, finally, the company ended the week with a bit of good news thanks to the ecstatic reviews of Mario Kart 8 (which even got a rare perfect 10 from Eurogamer). Phew, what a time to be alive.
But despite all of the excitement in the Nintendo camp, it's been overshadowed by Microsoft's momentous decision to ditch Kinect for Xbox One. Only a few weeks ago, Microsoft executives had been doggedly insisting that Kinect was an 'integral' part of Xbox One. It turns out that when they said 'integral', they actually meant 'disposable'.
It's probably a good decision to ditch the unloved peripheral. Kinect has been around for four years now, but the initial excitement around it died off almost immediately – rapid sales gave way to general apathy within a short while, and in its four years of existence, no-one seems to have come up with a way of taking full advantage of its motion-tracking abilities. The idea of including Kinect with every Xbox One was good on paper, since it meant that game designers were more likely to build its functionality into their games, and it also acted as a key differentiator that set the Xbox One apart from its rivals. But now we're well into the first year of the console's life, and the Kinect-enabled games released so far range from the rubbish to the utterly abysmal; even worse, there's no sign of any decent Kinect-powered games on the horizon. It's hard not see Kinect as an expensive white elephant rather than the key distinguisher Microsoft hoped it would be.
Some defended the system on the basis that Kinect voice commands make it easy to navigate the Xbox One menu system. But others point out that just designing a less-confusing operating system in the first place would negate the need to use Kinect when navigating it. And is it really worth diverting 10% of the Xbox One's graphical power to running Kinect when that juice could be used to make prettier games?
But Kinect is likely to come into its own when it comes to VR. Microsoft have been quiet on possible VR developments, but I suspect they might unveil something along these lines at the upcoming E3 conference. If they do reveal a VR peripheral, Kinect will be a key part of it. Although as I've said before, VR is only likely to appeal to a limited set of gamers, so it's the right decision to make Kinect optional rather than compulsory, if only to bring down the eye-watering price of Xbox One.
It's tempting to draw comparisons between Nintendo and Microsoft when it comes to expensive peripherals. The Wii U's gamepad adds considerably to the cost of the console and, like Kinect, it's been poorly implemented into most games (although unlike Kinect, it's also had its triumphs). Indeed, it might be in Nintendo's interest to release a Wii U without the gamepad in order to reduce the cost and improve flagging sales. But whereas I feel sorry for Nintendo's financial plight, I struggle to feel anything but cynicism towards Microsoft: the initial reveal of an always-online, secondhand-game-restricted, TV-focused Xbox One smacked of misguided intentions at best and bare-faced greed at worst. And the ever-watching Kinect eye was a terrifying concept from the start.
Perhaps the key difference between Nintendo and Microsoft is one of trust. Microsoft has steadily eroded my trust through a litany of poor decisions, from charging me to watch Netflix on Xbox 360 to unleashing Windows 8 on an unsuspecting world. When Nintendo struggled to produce enough games for the Wii U, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata publicly apologised. When Microsoft back-tracked on yet another design decision by removing Kinect, they fired up the obfuscating PR cannon yet again to bombard us with marketing bumpf. And let's not even get started on #dealwithit.
I trust Nintendo. But I wouldn't leave my family alone in a room with Microsoft.
Bye-bye baby, bye-bye.

Important Pay Equity Update!
Many members have expressed concerns about the timelines in the pay equity application process. Here is an update from the Corporation on Friday, January 8th:
When will I receive my payment?
We understand the importance of these payments and have developed a process to ensure a thorough review, while moving as quickly as possible. Payments will be issued after all the applications have been reviewed. Canada Post anticipates that payments will be processed in 2021.
Groups of individuals were made aware of this resolution process in separate waves and as such, deadlines for submitting an application differ from group to group. After the application period for all groups has closed, Canada Post and the CPAA will review the submissions in order to calculate individual payments. Only after this process is complete can Canada Post begin to issue payments to individuals.
Please note that your union was able to get the Corporation to accept returned letters after the December 16th date. Please continue to email your questions and concerns to CPAAequity.equiteACMPA@canadapost.postescanada.ca
Letter to the Honourable Maryam Monsef, Minister of Women and Gender Equality and Rural Economic Development, on December 6th, the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women
Dear Minister,
On the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence against Women, I am writing on behalf of the Canadian Postmasters and Assistants Association to request concrete support for rural Canadian women, who comprise 95% of our membership.
Women's shelters everywhere are feeling the pressure of the pandemic, especially in rural parts of the country. ln September of this year, a report from Women's Shelters Canada pointed to a lack of funding and resources for women and their children fleeing abusive relationships, particularly in rural, remote, and Northern areas.
A disproportionate number of women seeking shelter from abuse in rural Canada are lndigenous. According to Statistics Canada, in April 2018, around 20% of women and children in non-lndigenous shelters identified as First Nations, M6tis or lnuit, compared to an overall population count of 4% of Canadian women (age 18 and older) and 8% of children as a whole.
Just a few days ago, on November 25th, Women's Shelters Canada confirmed that rising rates of abuse are emerging from pandemic conditions, with isolation and COVID restrictions being used by abusers to control, silence and confine women' The organization stated that "The demands on shelters – in terms of capacity and in dealing with more severe cases of abuse – have only increased as the pandemic continues."
As Postmasters and Assistants who live and work in over three thousand rural communities, we are constantly looking out for our neighbours and their families. We are deeply concerned with the lack of funding and resources for emergency and second stage shelters, as well as the distances that rural women must travel to access them. Canada can and must do better for our rural families.
ln both your capacities as Minister for Women and Gender Equality, and as Minister for Rural Economic Development, our Association urges you to work with organizations such as Women's Shelters Canada to increase funding and resources for women's shelters in rural, remote, Northern and lndigenous communities.
We would like to renew our request for a meeting with you and look forward to hearing from you.

National President's Message
The following is an edited version of the report delivered by the National President at CPAA's Annual Meeting in October. For a full copy of this report, please contact the National Office.
This year has certainly been one for the history books and has presented many challenges for our members and for the Association as we, along with the rest of the world, faced the COVID-19 pandemic which has to date taken the lives of over ten thousand Canadians and more than a million people worldwide. This global pandemic demonstrates the importance of public services such as health care and postal service to our communities. We can only hope that this will be remembered for many years to come.
From the very beginning, the government stated that post offices were part of Canada's pandemic plan response so our members remained as frontline workers on the job while others were staying home. The pandemic meant that online ordering skyrocketed, and our members are still struggling to cope with ongoing Christmas-level volumes of parcels.
During the first days and weeks of responding to the pandemic hitting our country, the situation was changing by the hour, creating a great deal of uncertainty and confusion. CPAA Officers were in constant communication with Canada Post, both at the National and Branch levels. We continually pressed management on the urgent need for safety and protective equipment. Our offices, and communications platforms were flooded with questions, comments, and concerns from our members. We kept track of everything coming in and made sure our members' concerns and demands were raised with management. We sent out information about special leave and quarantine leave, the relevant Health and Safety legislation, and Public Health directives.
The Association continued to demand Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) while remaining cognizant of the fact that sorely needed medical supplies and protective equipment stocks were depleted the world over and were being reserved for frontline health care workers. By the end of March, Canada Post had begun to ship out gloves, sanitizing lotion, barriers and then face masks to our post offices. Some members found the PVC barriers were flimsy and overall, the lengthy wait for this protective equipment created a great deal of stress.
While our members were waiting for this equipment, they devised their own creative and memorable ways to try to keep safe. We are grateful to all our members who shared their stories and photos with us and with each other to keep our spirits up. I continue to have weekly calls with Canada Post and all the union leaders to discuss all COVID related issues in our post offices. This has proved to be very helpful with resolving issues quickly.
At the National Office, Officers and staff at first worked from home, except for myself and Sylvie, the Office Manager. Since we are an Ontario
workplace, in July, it was deemed by the government safe to bring everyone back into the office. I must say it was nice to see the whole team again. It certainly has been a steep learning curve for everybody to conduct our meetings virtually via online platforms such as Zoom. However, the
teleconferences and online meetings have been quite successful to date. We have also saved our Association a great deal of money that would
otherwise have been spent on travel.
We all know that meeting online is not the same as meeting in person for some events. Unfortunately, the pandemic has forced us to postpone our Just For You educational sessions. We hope to be able to deliver those in 2021. Similarly, we have had to pause our election process for Health and Safety representatives. The pandemic is far from over and we are facing a resurgence of cases heading into the colder months. I hope we can continue to stay safe and look out for each other. As a Union, that is our job.

The Police Ombudsman's Office has commenced an investigation into the police response to initial reports about an incident at the Greenvale Hotel, Cookstown, on St Patrick's Night (Sunday 17 March 2019), where three young people tragically lost their lives.
It follows a referral from the PSNI, which has asked the Police Ombudsman to conduct an independent investigation into the initial police response.
A Police Ombudsman spokesman said: "Our thoughts are with the families who have been so tragically bereaved.
"Our investigators have now begun gathering information about the initial sequence of events, and have appealed for witnesses to contact them. They are keen to hear from anyone who saw police in the area of the Greenvale Hotel on St Patrick's evening, 17 March.
"Our investigators can be contacted via direct message on Facebook using the following link http://m.me/policeombudsman, or by email at witnessappeal@policeombudsman.org.
"It would also be helpful if anyone contacting us can include a contact telephone number in their message or email."

"Well we know from our research that many hospitals are struggling with their budgets," stated Dave Blackwell , Healthcare Business Segment Manager. "As a result, these facilities are installing low-cost air filters that are not providing the kind of return-on-investment that is ideal, and worse yet, these filters are not eliminating the kind of pollutants that are a clear and present danger to patients and hospital workers. This issue was serious enough that ASHRAE Standard 52.2 was recently amended to require manufacturers to test all MERV rated air filters, including hospital air filters. Simply put, hospitals should demand ASHRAE test reports be supplied by their supplier.
For more than 50 years, Camfil has designed air filters specifically designed for hospital rooms and operating areas.
