ORLANDO, Fla. -- Minnie Van drivers can now join a Disney World labor union.
A National Labor Relations Board official made the ruling last week, the Associated Press reported.
Teamsters Local 385 filed a petition last year to have Minnie Van drivers included in its union.
Walt Disney Park & Resorts asked that the petition be dismissed.
Disney argued that the 60 drivers who operate the polka-dotted vans were not eligible to be represented by the union because Teamsters had waived its right to represent any worker not mentioned in its five-year contract.
The contract was negotiated in 2014.
However NLRB Region 12 director David Cohen found that under the existing bargaining agreement, Minnie Van drivers can be represented by the Teamsters, which also represents bus drivers and parking attendants at the resort.
In his decision, Cohen added that work Minnie Van drivers are required to do is "functionally the same" as that of Disney's bus drivers, who transport guests.
"The new position is part of the unit where the functions performed are essentially the same," Cohen wrote.
Minnie Van drivers are Disney World employees who drive guests around the resort as part of a service accessed using the Lyft app. The service costs $20 per trip.
Disney first announced the service last year at its D23 Expo in Anaheim, California.
The service, which was initially only available at select Disney World Resort hotels, has expanded to all on-property hotels.
Teamsters Local 385 is part of the Service Trades Council which includes five other unions. The council represents around 38,000 employees at Disney World.
Spokespeople for Disney World did not immediately return request for comment.


Have you taken a course taught by Karen Artzt?
Bio379 was one of the most fun classes I've ever taken at UT. Its a seminar style class with only around 10 people in it. You really learn how to read research and my scientific writing skills really improved. There are no exams, but we turned in a one page summary of the research paper for that week, and were required to present one research paper. Dr. Artzt is a fantastic teacher and a brillant researcher; she really made the difference in my education. The class is difficult however, and I wouldn't recomend it to underclassmen, even if they have the prereqs.


Now I have no idea!
Win2000 would be a start.
Are SlimServer and iTunes running as the same user?
Weird that iTunes comes up sometimes but not others.
I have never seen a 'no data' alert.
it from a DOS prompt.
tried this, so I never saw this alert until now.

I've been wanting to do something a little more breakfast-y for The Thrifted Kitchen as of late, with the hopes of landing on something that makes me more motivated to partake in this most-important meal. I must confess, dear readers, that there are a lot of mornings that go by where I have nothing to eat before lunch. Okay, maybe a cup tea of...if I'm lucky. It's a terrible habit to have gotten into, but for the past few months sleeping in those extra 10-15 minutes has just been too irresistible!
There I was, standing in the kitchen, peeking into our walk-in pantry, which is quickly getting to the point of crazy when it comes to the amount of cookbooks and booklets and recipe card boxes I have crammed onto its shelves. With so much to sift through, and looking for such a specific course, I decided to crack open So Quick With New Bisquick, printed by Better Crocker in 1967.
First, we must address what "New Bisquick" is. According to the intro, this new formula used wheat flour to make it "finer and lighter." It also had "livelier leavening" for added fluff; real buttermilk solids for more flavor; more shortening; extra sugar; and, of course, some salt.
Now...I can't say I've ever really been a fan of this shortcut pancake/biscuit mix. I really only ever use it to make dumplings I drop on top of simmering stew in the winter time (thank you Grandma for teaching me that technique). But since I had some in the cupboard, I thought I'd give it another go.
I decided to make a super easy recipe called Butterfly Pancakes. You literally just make a regular pancake, slice it in half when it's cooked, and place the "wings" on either side of a sausage link (I, of course, used the frozen veggie sausage variety). Boom. Done.
As far as taste, well, the end product was...edible. I added a bit more milk than the recipe called for so the cakes would be thinner, but it's just so hard to eat Bisquick pancakes after you've had really good homemade ones, or ones from a really good mix (yes, I know...I'm being a snob). So I might try this same thing with your favorite flapjack recipe, because the styling of the food is what this post is really all about.
Make the recipe for pancakes found on the back of the Bisquick box. To color, add drops of food coloring to batter already measured into a 1/4 cup measuring cup and mix until combined to your liking. Then pour onto hot griddle and cook according to directions.
To serve, cut each pancake in half. Place curved sides together to resemble a butterfly. Place a cooked sausage link in center for body.


How many times have this old bell tolled since medieval times?...Located at one of the walls along the corridor where the cloister of Sant Miquel del Fai Romanic church used to be, the bells (there are two) are silent witnesses of centuries of quietness and meditation under the cliffs that overlook river Tenes and neighbouring towns of Bigues and Riells.

Can you believe it? We've actually discovered more than a dozen attractions in Branson with individual ticket prices under twenty bucks! There's an exciting coaster, fascinating museums, a ropes course, animal attractions, and more. And, in some cases, children's passes are less than $10!
6. IMAX Films: A delightful series of films especially made for this gigantic screen, including the story of early life in the greater Branson area - Ozarks Legacy & Legend. The entire family will enjoy learning the story of the McFarlain family, how the Baldknobbers came to be, and how rough life was here in the early 1800s. The theater is also currently offering Pandas, another stunning film created for the big screen - and watch for some of Hollywood's biggest films shown on the IMAX screen.
7. Ripley's Believe It or Not!: You're already fascinated before you walk through the door because you're trying to figure out why the building looks like a tornado hit it! Actually, that would be an earthquake - it was built to look like it was damaged by the sizable quake that hit Missouri in 1812. Exhibits come and go here, but you can always count on unique, unusual, and downright unbelievable items - things like a robot made from auto parts, genuine shrunken heads, a vampire-killing kit, and hands-on interactive displays - believe it!

Is Lack of High-Speed Internet Limiting Remote Hiring?
August 11, 2022 Digital Workplace
By Kaya Ismail
Follow @kayaismail
Remote work is a growing practice in many parts of the world. Knowledge workers are demanding more flexibility to conduct their work from the location that best suits their needs.
But are the advantages advertised by remote work fair and equitable to all? And can companies tap into the worker pools they seek to attract simply by adopting a remote working policy?
Turns out, a dated infrastructure may be preventing some workers from conducting their work efficiently — and others from participating in the remote work economy altogether.
Broadband Access Still Lacking
For many of us, having access to high-speed internet may seem like a basic necessity, but Cisco research has shown that many employees remain without reliable internet coverage. The survey of 60,000 employees in 30 countries found that 75% of workers believe broadband services need to be improved to better support hybrid work.
Several countries are working to direct investments to support better infrastructure. Recently, the American government launched a $65 billion Internet for All initiative with the goal to ensure that "every American will have access to technologies that allow them to attend class, start a small business, visit with their doctor and participate in the modern economy."
This, of course, includes more than broadband access. It covers a range of issues that prevent certain areas of the population from having the ability to join the remote or hybrid workplace.
The US isn't the only country addressing the divide. Access to high-speed internet has often featured in UK elections as well. The ruling Conservative party has made it an election pledge in the past four elections — and their opposition had also made part of their election pledge to offer free access for all UK households in the 2019 election.

Diminished Efficiency
The ability to tap into a broader talent pool by expanding recruiting beyond geographical borders is often advanced as a great benefit of remote work. Another advantage of remote work is to enable employees to take their laptop and work from any place in the world that allows them to do their best work. Digital nomads, as these workers are called, are on the rise, with more countries issuing digital nomad visas that allow remote workers to stay for longer periods than on a tourist visa.
But neither of those benefits can be realized without the right internet infrastructure.
"Inadequate access to the internet, in my opinion, is one of the primary obstacles to working remotely," said Travis Lindemoen, managing director of Overland Park, Kan.-based nexus IT Group. "When visiting a new country or city, digital nomads are more likely to run into this problem than remote professionals who work from co-working spaces or a nearby coffee shop."
In turn, this is having an impact on efficiency. Whether at home or in another country, employees can waste 30 minutes of productivity daily due to poor internet speeds, according to a Zen Internet report. In a year, that amounts to 130 hours — a significant drain on company resources.

The Remote Conundrum
Another problem that might be causing the poor performance of internet speeds is saturation. People need better internet infrastructure to have the equal opportunities to participate in today's digital economy. As more people work remotely, this overloads the infrastructure.
The pandemic has seen more people work from home than ever before, and many households now simultaneously have several people using the same internet connection, from working parents to college students attending online classes, to younger children streaming shows or playing online games. This modern-day usage puts a massive strain on the available bandwidth.
Adding to that is the overwhelming number of virtual meetings and the common need to use multiple cloud-based collaboration apps. It's no surprise that several employees, even in areas where the infrastructure hadn't been flagged, suffer productivity issues at one time or another.
"If you are on a lower-tier plan, it is likely that your internet connection will be slowed down to accommodate other ISP customers who are also attempting to access the internet," said Kavin Patel, co-founder and CEO of Chandler, Ariz.-based Convrrt.
Unfortunately, the only solution, Patel said, is to upgrade to a more expensive plan tier, which for many isn't possible. This is why many governments worldwide are attempting to upgrade their infrastructure to offer better and more affordable internet to all.

Infrastructure Is a Global Issue
Remote work has been limited in countries where there is limited to no capacity for the speed required to host regular video chats or do work from home without disruption. But the problem isn't specific to economically developing nations. In 2020, 15% of American households had no access to the internet, and in some low income areas, that number rose to 30% of households.
Without an internet connection at home, these individuals do not have the chance to find work opportunities at companies that offer remote work. Bridging the gap is critical to a country's GDP and to supporting healthy economic activity around the country and the world.

General Football News Liverpool Manchester City Opinion UEFA Champions League
Manchester City v Liverpool | Champions League preview | Players to watch
Apr 10, 2018 Alex Oxlade Chamberlain, David De Gea, Football Weeks, Jurgen Klopp, Pep Guardiola, Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero
Manchester City welcome Liverpool to the Etihad Stadium for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday night.
The Premier League leaders suffered a 3-0 defeat at Anfield in the first leg last week and now need a standout performance at home to make up the deficit.
What happened to both sides over the weekend?
Pep Guardiola's men suffered back-to-back defeats for the first time this season as they lost 3-2 at home to cross-town rivals Manchester United.
The Citizens were 2-0 up and comfortable at half-time, but they appeared to switch off in the second-half, conceding three goals in the space of 16 minutes.
Liverpool, on the other hand, succumbed to a 0-0 draw against Everton in Saturday's Merseyside derby.
Like Guardiola did against United, Jurgen Klopp made a number of changes to the starting lineup against Everton. Both sides should be at full strength for Tuesday's meeting, however.
Sergio Aguero – Manchester City
Aguero made his comeback from a knee injury as a 76th-minute substitute in the Manchester derby. The Argentina forward had not witnessed first-team action for more than a month and nearly scored a late goal, but he was denied by David De Gea's brilliant save.
The 29-year-old is still waiting to reach his 200th goal for City. He could hit the milestone against Liverpool if he starts.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain – Liverpool
The former Arsenal midfielder didn't make an impact against Everton, but prior to that Oxlade-Chamberlain produced a brilliant performance against City in the Champions League.
He's greatly developed since swapping Arsenal for Liverpool last summer and his box-to-box threat is something City need to take care of.
The Ox can test goalkeepers with efforts from long range, having scored a brilliant 25-yard strike in first leg, and has an impressive range of passing too. He could be key.
Following Manchester City's defeat at Anfield, one should expect a big home performance from them on Tuesday.
The Sky Blues should win the game but they may not necessarily eliminate Liverpool in the Champions League, as the Reds are more than capable of finding the back of the net to give City a mountain to climb due to the away goals rule.

I picked up a pair of Volcom Gritter Slim Straight Chinos back in the spring, and I absolutely love them. Unlike traditional chinos that your Dad probably wears, these pants are made using sturdier material, modern cuts and fun colors to make them one of the most versatile pieces of clothing in your closet. They are comfortable enough to wear every day, yet dressy enough that you can get away wearing them if the dress code calls for business casual. I highly recommended picking up a pair (or two) of these!

Whether you prefer light or dark wash, every pair of Volcom jeans features felled interior stitching and clean finished pocket bags for added comfort and less chafing, along with a nearly indestructible buckle button closure and upgraded dual finish hardware for increased durability, a hidden cell phone pocket and double belt loops for convenient utility, while the asymmetrical detail of the offset back yoke and the "V" belt loop remain uniquely Volcom.
My jean of choice? The Volcom Solver Jeans in Vintage Blue. These bad boys fit great, the fabric is nice and soft, and there's just the right amount of stretch to it. I went for their Modern Fit, which offers a more mature, straight fit as compared to a skinny jean. And lets face it, this type of cut is much more comfortable as well. The color is nice and dark, and these jeans have quickly become my go-to pair. And coming from someone who owns a lot of jeans, that's really saying something!
So if you're ready to update your fall wardrobe, head over to Volcom.com and check out all that they have got to offer. Trust me, you'll be glad you did.

Lily Allen - No Shame
A biting, addictive, and surprisingly poignant album...
Shannon Cotton
Shannon Cotton /
/ / 08 · 06 · 2018
"I try to keep an open mind, I feel like I'm under attack all of the time / I'm compromised, my head can't always hold itself so high," Lily Allen sings on the opening line of her fourth studio album 'No Shame'. It's been a little over four years since the release of her last record 'Sheezus', and there are a couple of things to note; one, the singer's voice has never sounded so good and two, she doesn't give a shit about your criticisms. "I'm a bad mother, I'm a bad wife, you saw it on the socials, you read it online," she continues, laying herself completely bare from the get go, these lyrics soon becoming engulfed in a wash of sparkling and swirling synths.
Giggs collaboration 'Trigger Bang' follows swiftly and is a nostalgic nod to Allen's past while reggae and ska influences also bleed into some of the tracks on the record, like on effervescent number 'What You Waiting For' (not a Gwen Stefani cover - although could you imagine?!) and the Lady Chann-featuring 'Waste'. It's very reminiscent of debut 'Alright, Still', which doesn't take a genius to work out, is a great combination.
Lily's mischievous side is never too far away either. Take 'My One' for instance: "Pumpkin I picked something up in Sydney, now the voice inside my kidneys says I need my one," she quips in the backhanded love song which showcases her natural knack for colloquial lyricism on top of a plodding bassline and twinkling electronic set up.
The most heart-wrenching moment on the record though comes in the form of 'Three'. A song written from the perspective of her children, coupled with the singer's own childhood experiences, it's impossible not to be moved by the touching ode as Allen sings delicately: "This afternoon I made a papier-mâché fish mum, I made it just for you, please don't go stay here with me, it's not my fault I'm only three." It's closely followed by the traditional piano balladry of 'Family Man' and the woozy 'Everything To Feel Something'.
Sometimes its hard to separate the art from the artist, but Lily Allen has once again drawn upon brutally honest and painfully raw experiences from her own personal life to create an all-encompassing and emotive sonic journey that keeps your finger firmly on the repeat button. Absolutely nothing to be ashamed of here.

Obama's Nobel
Anti-American Blackmail and Other Immorality
http://www.islamicpluralism.org/1377/obamas-nobel
The Nobel Peace Prize for President Barack Obama is aimed against America and American interests. Little else needs to be said about it, in my opinion as a moderate Muslim. The Peace Prize was given to Obama to force him toward complete withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as to discourage him from serious action against the disgraceful politics of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his supporters within the clerical order in Iran, including their atomic adventurism. Obama may talk tough on the Iranian nuclear bomb, but it is doubtful he will act on his rhetoric.
The Nobel Peace Prize for Obama continues the tradition of European anti-American blackmail: "Nobel gestures" by self-righteous Scandinavians, who consider themselves the conscience of the world, and especially of Europe .
A Nobel lurch toward appeasement of totalitarians was first visible in 1962 when the Peace Prize was handed to Linus Pauling, an American scientist better known for his tireless pro-Soviet propaganda. As with Obama's Nobel, the accolade went to an American as a repudiation of American policy. The Norwegian Nobel panel added an abominable element of moral equivalence to their treatment of Americans in 1973, when the Peace Prize was shared by Henry Kissinger and Le Duc Tho. The latter was a representative of the Vietnamese Communists, who, rather than honoring the Paris "peace accords" that were employed to justify the Prize, exploited the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Indochina to secure their own triumph, with catastrophic results for human rights. Tho and his Communist colleagues, however, refused to participate in the Nobel charade, and Tho declined to accept the Peace Prize. It has been suggested that Obama should do the same, which seems unlikely.
After that, choices for the Nobel Peace Prize became increasingly unsavory, although in the first half of the 20th century the Prize was frequently received by questionable figures from the failed predecessor of the United Nations, the League of Nations . Peace Nobels have been been presented more recently to United Nations agencies with bad reputations for mishandling humanitarian crises. The UN High Commission for Refugees was the recipient in 1981. UNHCR works to keep refugees in a dependent state. Their director in Bosnia-Hercegovina during the Balkan wars of the 1990s, Japanese functionary Yasushi Akashi, accused the Bosnians themselves of shelling Sarajevo and of enabling the 1995 Srebrenica massacre of 8,000 Bosnian men and boys by Serbian paramilitaries.
UN Peacekeeping Forces were honored with the 1988 Nobel Peace Prize. Their record has been negative in almost every country where they have appeared. They administer dubious ceasefires. They do not bring peace. And they were hated during the Bosnian war for their adherence to "neutrality," which, in practice, meant a refusal to prevent atrocities.
In 1992, the Peace Prize was conferred on Rigoberta Menchú, a Guatemalan leftist leader, in an outstanding demonstration of Nordic heedlessness, disguised as altruism. The award to Menchú was a multiple score for political correctness. It served not only the aims of Columbus-bashers who fawned on her as a supposed representative of all indigenous Americans (while, against the protests of the radical left, the 500th anniversary of the explorer's arrival in the New World was celebrated), but also those of highly-placed European meddlers in Latin American affairs.
Rather than representing peace and reconciliation, Menchú stood for continued armed struggle and did not even accept non-violence as a means of protest. Some media noted, delicately, with news of her Peace Prize, that she denied being an actual guerrilla, "but [was] uncritical of the [Guatemalan] rebels." As The New York Times put it, Menchú "endorsed insurrection… but says she never belonged to any of the country's guerrilla groups." For the Norwegians, it seemed, promoting violence in a distant country of which they knew little was a consolation to themselves for the failure of the radical left in its promise of a happier, more just society in their own part of the world. Norway attained stability and prosperity through social-democratic and free-market politics, and the discovery of offshore oil. Norwegian extremist Marxists of the 1960s produced nothing useful for the country, but left an unfortunate legacy of nostalgia among its intellectuals for the red flag and the raised fist.
Outrageous moral equivalence was back on the Nobel agenda two years later, when the 1994 Peace Prize was shared by Yasser Arafat and two Israelis, Shimon Peres and Yitzhak Rabin, for signing the Oslo Accords. As with Le Duc Tho, however, neither those Accords nor the Nobel medal stopped Arafat from supporting the "second intifada" in 2000. The intrigues of Arafat did not gain a victory over Israel for his Fatah party comparable to that of the Vietnamese Communists, but neither did it occur to him to refuse the Peace Prize. His peace pantomime allowed him and his followers to so grossly enrich themselves that, as noted by Israeli Arab journalist Khaled Abu Toameh and others, Arafat's flagrant corruption drove Palestinians to support the radical Islamist Hamas movement.
The list of problematic Peace Prizes goes on. In 2001 the UN was again commended by the Norwegians, along with its then-Secretary General, Kofi Annan - who represented an antidemocratic, military government in Ghana before the world body, and has been charged with obstructing UN soldiers from taking consequential action to halt the genocidal massacres in Rwanda. Annan also presided over the Iraqi Oil-for-Food scandal which still has not been adequately investigated, but which saw the misappropriation of almost $50 billion.
The pattern of anti-American Nobels given to Americans was revived in 2002, when the Peace Prize went to Jimmy Carter, for his campaigning as a do-gooder, and again in 2007 by its presentation to Al Gore. In both cases, the awardee was viewed by the Norwegians as an American who represented divergence from the main U.S. policies of the past 20 years. The Norwegians seemed to celebrate Carter's failures in Iran and Nicaragua, as well as his diplomacy with Israel and the Palestinians, which also had no genuinely positive effect. In the case of Gore, since the U.S. would not officially endorse the global hysteria over climate change represented by the Kyoto Protocol, the Nobel for Peace went to an American politician who would unofficially do so.
The real nature of the Nobel Peace Prizes is ideological, and Obama's Nobel is an expression of appreciation for him by America-haters. The Norwegian patrons of the Prize are deaf to the demonstrations by the Iranians undermined in their opposition to Ahmadinejad by Obama, blind to the martyrdom of Muslims killed by the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and silent about the prospect that, encouraged by Obama's complacency, the Russia of Vladimir Putin will soon launch or sponsor another aggressive attack against the victims of its former Communist rulers and their allies, whether in Ukraine, Georgia, or the Balkans. The Nobel Peace Prize has become a badge of shame.

This gorgeous new variety of eggplant incoming from Lady Moon has the classic light aubergine color streaked with white and an oval shape. With their mellow and refined flavor, these are excellent eggplants for grilling, frying, or in your favorite baked dish.
Rich in flavor and medium to large in size the Packham pear has a pale-green bumpy skin that develops a yellow cast when fully ripe. Quite fragrant, the white firm flesh is deliciously sweet and juicy. This pear was cultivated by Charles Packham in 1896. It is an Australian variety and crossed between the Williams and Bell pear. They are high in fiber, a good source of vitamin C and provide the important mineral potassium. They are also a natural, quick source of energy, due to the presence of natural sugars.
Crush the biscuits in a food processor and mix with melted butter. Use biscuit mixture to line the base and sides of a 25cm x 11cm rectangular, loose-bottomed tart pan, pressing in firmly. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Place the sugar in a saucepan, add 2 cups (500ml) water and stir over low heat to dissolve sugar. Peel pears and add to pan, topping up with enough water to cover.
Bring to the boil, reduce heat to low, cover and poach for 10 minutes or until fruit is cooked (this will depend on the ripeness of the pears). Allow to cool in the syrup.
When ready to serve, remove pears (the poaching liquid can be frozen and used for poaching fruit). Drain pears well, patting dry with paper towel, and slice thinly, discarding cores.
Lay slices over the biscuit base.
Beat together the cream, Poire William and icing sugar, spread over the pears and drizzle with caramel sauce. Garnish with sliced almonds.
* Poire William is a French pear liqueur, from selected bottle shops.

Rebecca Evans AM meets WWF Cymru to discuss Brexit
Rebecca Evans AM, Assembly Member for Gower, has met with WWF Cymru to discuss the pressing issues that are facing the environment in the light of the decision to leave the EU.
Rebecca Evans said:
"Wales has benefited hugely from our membership of the European Union – not least through the raft of environmental legislation that has helped protect and enhance habitats and biodiversity across Gower, and access to European research which has helped inform our approach to sustainable development.
"In addition to this our farmers have benefited from access to millions of pounds in agri-environmental funding which has paid farmers to help them support the environment, and ensure that the land is fit to hand on to the next generation.
"European Directives on water quality have helped Gower's coastline become internationally acclaimed."
Rebecca Evans AM and WWF explored what action the Assembly and Welsh Government must take in order to ensure that the environment is well protected in the future in the absence of EU support. The Welsh Government's ground-breaking Environment Act and Wellbeing of Future Generations Act will be critical in protecting the environment and addressing climate change in the future.
Mrs Evans added:
"Amidst all the uncertainty about the future, one thing we can count on is that I will continue to push for the Brexiteers to keep their promise of ensuring that Wales does not lose out financially as a result of the decision to leave the EU. I will also press for the upcoming negotiations to get the best deal for our environment so that we can continue building a sustainable Wales."

'Andy Murray can still challenge the world's best players if his patience holds,' says Boris Becker
Andy Murray has been told that he can still compete with the best in the world – as long as he has the patience to regain his fitness.
That is according to Boris Becker, who also warned that time is running out for Murray to make a meaningful comeback.
The Scotsman has been tortured by injury since climbing to the top of the ranking in 2017, and underwent major hip surgery last season in one desperate final bid to save his career.
That appeared to have worked when he won the European Open in Antwerp in October, but he is yet to play this season due to complications connected to the surgery.
Becker, though, says the real test may be in Murray's mind.
"If Andy can stay fit then I still think it is possible for him to challenge the world's best players," Becker told the Mirror.
"He has to be patient – which is very tough when you have missed so much tennis.
"He has to build up his physical condition again but he can only do that by getting on the practise courts and playing in tournaments.
"The more tournaments he plays, the more he will play the top guys on a regular basis.
"Andy isn't so old. He's 32 and time is still on his side.
"I don't think it's impossible that we can see him back near the top of the rankings – but of course he must stay fit."

The Most Bizarre Theories About Earth That People Still Believe
December 16, 2015 | Joanne Kennell
Photo credit: pixabay.com
Earth is flat and sits on the back of a giant turtle that is flying through space. Yep, that is one of them.
Did you know there are people that still believe Earth is flat, and that the images coming from NASA of our bulbous Earth are all fake? They can't be serious, right? As it turns out, they honestly really do believe it, and this may surprise you, a flat Earth is not the craziest theory out there. Take a look at these other ones.
Flat Earth Theory
This is by far the most common wacky theory about Earth. Even though it has been proven to be untrue, the Flat Earth Society formed in 1956 by Samuel Shenton still exists today — and their membership numbers keep growing.
Despite the enormous amount of evidence to the contrary, according to LiveScience, members of the society believe that the Earth is a flat disk, with the Arctic in the middle and at the edges of the disk are large mountains of snow and ice holding in our oceans, known to us as Antarctica, which is guarded by NASA. They believe we can fall off this disk if we climb over these mountains.
SEE ALSO: Paranormal-Believers More Likely to Fear Government, War, Violent Crimes
Gravity is in fact not gravity at all, and this force we feel is due to the disk accelerating upward in space at 9.8 meters per second or 21.9 miles per hour. According the the society, the sun and moon are also much smaller than NASA claims, approximately 51 kilometers (32 miles) across, and they both move in circles 4820 kilometers (3,000 miles) above the plane of Earth. They also believe there has to be an invisible "anti-moon" that obscures the moon during lunar eclipses. Yep, makes complete sense.
Geoterrapinism Theory
According to some, Earth is flat and it is situated on the back of a giant turtle that is flying through space. This theory dates back to the 17th century after a man named Jasper Danckaerts learned about it from a Native American. It is a very common belief in Chinese, Indian, and Native American cultures. I am okay with Earth being flat in this theory, but only because I love turtles.
Contracting Earth Theory
The Contracting Earth Theory, also known as geophysical global cooling, states that the Earth is actually getting smaller and smaller over time, and this shrinking is what results in natural disasters and mountain ranges.
The idea behind the theory is that since Earth consists of molten rock, as the interior of the Earth cools and contracts, so will the surface. This contraction leads to mountains, and often volcanoes, since the extra molten rock needs to go somewhere, right?
Expanding Earth Theory
Now which is it, is the Earth expanding or contracting? This theory states that the Earth is continuously expanding, just like our universe. Believe it or not, since 2005, J. Marvin Herndon has been advocating for what he calls "whole-Earth decompression dynamics", which he claims is a unified theory combining elements of plate tectonics and Earth's expansion.
Hollow Earth Theory
According to the Hollow Earth theory, when we look up into the sky, what we are actually looking into is the center of the Earth. People still believe this today. This theory was developed by John Symmes, a former captain in the US Army, who believed that Earth had a shell 1280 kilometers (800 miles) thick, with openings at both poles, and several inner shells making up a series of concentric spheres where people and animals live.
Fixed Earth Theory
The Fixed Earth Theory states that Earth is located at the center of the universe, and everything else revolves around it. Although this theory was challenged by both Copernicus and Kepler, there are some people who refuse to let go of the idea. How anthropocentric of them.
So what do you think, has NASA been lying to us this whole time? I am going to go with a resounding, no.

FLAUM
Before FLAUM, EASTERBROOK, and ROVNER, Circuit Judges.
FLAUM, Circuit Judge.
Mariya Borisova Georgieva and Lachezar Dimitrov are Roma asylum-seekers. In 2002, the couple left Bulgaria and entered the United States legally. They say they were fleeing some of their non-Roma countrymen who had threatened Georgieva after she resisted being forced into the sex trade and became active in pro-Roma politics. Georgieva and Dimitrov also say they wanted to escape the atmosphere of persecution that faces the Roma people in Bulgaria. The immigration judge found Georgieva's testimony incredible and denied Georgieva and Dimitrov asylum. The Board of Immigration Appeals affirmed the immigration judge's decision. We deny the couple's petition for review.
Georgieva and Dimitrov were born in Bulgaria and are Bulgarian citizens. They were admitted to the United States on March 6, 2002. On March 5, 2003, Georgieva timely requested asylum, withholdingof removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture. On her application, Georgieva listed her husband Dimitrov as a derivative beneficiary. Georgieva filed her application with the Immigration and Naturalization Service, which referred her case to the Department of Justice's immigration courts on April 9, because the immigration courts have exclusive jurisdiction over Visa Waiver Program asylum applicants. 8 C.F.R. § 1208.2(c)(1)(iii). Proceedings commenced in August 2004, but the case was continued several times. Georgieva and Dimitrov did not appear before an immigration judge until May 2011.
Both were admitted under the Visa Waiver Program, which is a reciprocal waiver arrangement where the United States waives its visa requirement and in exchange the visitor waives his or her right to contest admissibility determinations on removal (except for asylum applications, withholding of removal, and protection under the Convention Against Torture). 8 U.S.C. § 1187(b)(2); Bao Tai Nian v. Holder, 683 F.3d 1227, 1228 (9th Cir.2012). Visa Waiver Program entrants are entitled to something of a "shortcut" in the asylum process, because they can proceed directly to a hearing before an immigration judge, bypassing some preliminary steps. See, e.g., Bayo v. Napolitano, 593 F.3d 495, 499 (7th Cir.2010). The program is available for citizens of thirty-eight different countries, but Bulgaria is not among them. It is not clear from the record how Georgieva and Dimitrov were admitted through the program.
Georgieva's credibility is the central issue in this case, because she provided most of the relevant facts and documentary evidence is sparse. Georgieva included in her asylum application a six-page statement describing her experiences in Bulgaria. She also testified at her immigration hearing, and discrepancies emerged between the statement and her testimony. We note where the stories diverge as we go.
Georgieva grew up in Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria. As a Roma child, she faced challenges. For example, she described one incident in the sixth grade, where a few non-Roma boys followed her into the bathroom at school. They pushed her down, beat her, yelled at her and called her "a dirty gypsy," and urinated on her. She reported the incident to school officials. But instead of responding, the officials accused her of lying and punished her. Georgieva says she received high grades in school and applied to colleges, but that she was not admitted because she was Roma.
In 2000, Georgieva began working either for a cleaning company or as a street sweeper for Blagoevgrad County (there is a discrepancy between her statement and hearing testimony). In November 2000, Georgieva's boss allegedly called her into his office and offered her a higher-paying job working in a meat factory in Naples, Italy; he claimed the position was part of an exchange program. Georgieva accepted, and met her boss's associates at the Blagoevgrad bus station, where there were seven other Roma women who had accepted the same "offer." The bus was to travel through Macedonia and other former Yugoslav Republics on the way to Naples.
Shortly after the bus crossed into Macedonia, the group stopped for lunch at a hotel. Armed men arrived and ordered the women into hotel rooms. The women were then given clothing and makeup and returned to the hotel lobby where they were displayed to "important" men who would select them for sex. At this point Georgieva's asylum application begins to differ markedly from her hearing testimony.
In her application statement Georgieva wrote that she "was forced to have sex with a strange man who paid for her like she was meat." She claimed that this happened multiple times—enough that she lost track of the days—and that the captors moved the women around to different places. Eventually, Georgieva escaped by hitting a man over the head with a lamp as he was undressing. She ran away, and was aided by Macedonian laborers working in a field. The laborers gave her a change of clothes, and eventually a "nice old man" drove her back to the Bulgarian border. Georgieva said it took her three more days to get home from there.
Her hearing testimony differs in several particulars. Although Georgieva still claimed that she was abducted and that her captors tried to force her into the sex trade, she said that she never had sex with anyone, because she cracked the head of the very first man who selected her on the first day in Macedonia. She said she walked all the way back to Blagoevgrad after her escape, which took her two days in total. Once home, she tried to report her story to the police, the prime minister, and other officials within the Bulgarian government, but to no avail.
Georgieva's stories converge again here. In 2001, she became involved with a group called Euroroma that advocated for Roma rights in Europe. She volunteered there for the next year. Dimitrov and his family were active in the organization, too. Through Georgieva's work there, the couple met and began to date.
At some point after she started working for Euroroma, Georgieva says she received telephone threats from associates of her former boss. She also claims that in January of 2002, two men who worked in the sex-trafficking ring abducted her outside the Euroroma office. One of the men told her that "gypsies like you don't live long." The men took Georgieva to an abandoned building and beat her so severely that she passed out.
The accounts diverge again after the beating. In her application, Georgieva claimed that she woke up a few days later in the hospital; some kids had found her in the building and the police had taken her to the hospital. At her hearing, however, she testified that the beating put her into a coma for twenty or twenty-one days and broke her jaw. Georgieva's jaw required surgery, but the hospital refused service because Georgieva was Roma and she had no health insurance. Instead, Dimitrov found a private dentist who did a minimal amount of repair work for a small cost.
Shortly after the beating incident, the couple left for the United States. Dimitrov testified that Georgieva suffered from pain and constant headaches as a result of the beating and that she has received additional medical care in Evanston, Illinois. Both testified that they fear persecution if they are returned to Bulgaria, especially because both of their families have left the country and now reside in Italy and the United Kingdom. Georgieva and Dimitrov have two American-born sons, aged six and ten, and the older son has been diagnosed with autism.
At the outset of the hearing, the immigration judge found Georgieva's different accounts of her time in Macedonia "very clear, detailed, and specific," and impossible to reconcile. The immigration judge thought the discrepancies serious, and decided that Georgieva had not adequately explained them. Moreover, the immigration judge had brought the discrepancies to Georgieva's attention at the outset of the hearing. Georgieva claimed that her asylum application was inaccurate, but she made only small tweaks that did not address the central inconsistencies and she did not explain why she had not amended her application further. The immigration judge acknowledged that inaccuracies in initial asylum applications are common, often because of faulty translations or the lack of counsel. But an attorney assisted Georgieva in preparing her application and Georgieva did not claim that the translation was faulty. The immigration judge went on to find that Georgieva had not provided enough documentary evidence to corroborate her story, and so ordered Georgieva and Dimitrov removed to Bulgaria.
The couple appealed to the Board of Immigration Appeals, and while the appeal was pending also filed a motion to remand to the immigration judge. In their remand motion, the couple argued that they had received ineffective assistance both from their counsel before the immigration judge and from the lawyer who had helped prepare Georgieva's initial application.
Before the Board, Georgieva and Dimitrov's new attorneys argued that any discrepancies in Georgieva's stories were due to clerical or translation errors, and that Georgieva had not had an opportunity to explain them. But the Board found that the immigration judge's credibility finding was based on specific evidence and was adequately explained. The Board also found that Georgieva had been given the opportunity to reconcile her stories, but had not done so. Finally, the Board denied the request for a remand based on inadequate assistance, because it thought Georgieva and Dimitrov's counsel in the immigration proceedings competent.
In cases like this, where the Board of Immigration Appeals' order supplements the decision of the immigration judge, we review the immigration judge's opinion as supplemented by the Board. Raghunathan v. Holder, 604 F.3d 371, 379 (7th Cir.2010). We review factual findings only to ensure that substantial evidence supports the immigration judge's or Board's decision. See, e.g., Abdoulaye v. Holder, 721 F.3d 485, 490 (7th Cir.2013).
Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Attorney General or the Secretary of Homeland Security may grant asylum to refugees. 8 U.S.C. § 1158(b). A refugee is "any person who is outside any country of such person's nationality ... who is unable or unwilling to return to ... that country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion...." 8 U.S.C. § 1101(a)(42)(A). This means asylum applicants must show either past persecution or a well-founded fear of future persecution because of membership in a protected class. See Wang v. Gonzales, 445 F.3d 993, 997–98 (7th Cir.2006). An applicant's proof of past persecution can come from multiple sources, including a recitation of her experiences in her asylum application, testimony at her immigration hearing, and any supporting documentary evidence, if it exists. Capric v. Ashcroft, 355 F.3d 1075, 1085 (7th Cir.2004).
A. The immigration judge's credibility finding
In asylum cases, traditional or objective means of authenticating an applicant's statements can be difficult or impossible—applicants often hail from war-torn, impoverished, or inhospitable parts of the world. Thus, the immigration judge must often evaluate the credibility of the applicant claiming persecution, which the immigration judge can do by considering the "internal consistency, detail, and plausibility" of the applicant's story. Capric, 355 F.3d at 1085 (citations omitted). If the applicant's testimony is credible, it can be sufficient to satisfy her burden. But if the immigration judge finds the applicant incredible due to inconsistencies, then the applicant must explain the discrepancies and provide credible, extrinsic evidence in corroboration. Id. at 1086.
Georgieva applied for asylum before the enactment of the Real ID Act, which limits judicial review of an immigration judge's credibility finding. 8 U.S.C. § 1158(b)(1)(B)(iii). The new standards apply only to asylum applications submitted after the enactment of the statute—May 11, 2005. Pub.L. No. 109–13, § 101, 119 Stat. 231, 305 (2005); Mitondo v. Mukasey, 523 F.3d 784, 787 (7th Cir.2008). Thus, we review Georgieva's application under pre-Real ID Act law. We will uphold the immigration judge's credibility finding so long as it is supported by "specific, cogent reasons [bearing] a legitimate nexus to the finding." Capric, 355 F.3d at 1086 (citations and internal quotation marks omitted). Only those inconsistencies that "go to the heart of" the applicant's asylum claim can support an incredibility finding; minor inconsistencies on peripheral matters cannot. Id. at 1090.
Under the Real ID Act, by contrast, immigration judges can base an adverse credibility finding on any inconsistency, whether it goes to the heart of the applicant's claim or not. 8 U.S.C. § 1158(b)(1)(B)(iii).
The immigration judge's incredibility finding in this case centered on Georgieva's two retellings of her encounter with the Macedonian sex trade. Simply put, Georgieva could not have been forced to have sex with multiple individuals over multiple nights but also have escaped on her first night in Macedonia without having sex with anybody. She also could not have been sheltered by Macedonian laborers and shuttled to the Bulgarian border by a kindly old man while also walking all the way from Macedonia back to Blagoevgrad. These discrepancies fairly "go to the heart of" Georgieva's claim. The incident in Macedonia was central to her claim of past persecution.
We have warned of the problems that can sometimes arise with statements that accompany initial asylum applications—i.e., poor translators, careless or unscrupulous preparers, or the lack of legal counsel. See, e.g., Chen v. Gonzales, 420 F.3d 707, 710 (7th Cir.2005). But the immigration judge realized and discussed these problems and Georgieva did not argue that there were translation problems. She also had an attorney representing her when she filed her application.
The immigration judge also noted the other, more minor inconsistencies in Georgieva's stories. The immigration judge took care to note that these inconsistencies (relating to Georgieva's former place of employment and the way Georgieva arrived at the hospital after being assaulted) would not have supported an incredibility finding on their own, but further supported the incredibility finding.
The immigration judge also afforded Georgieva the chance to cure the inconsistencies by amending her statement. When she was asked specifically about the discrepancies, Georgieva said that she had "clarified with her attorney that her original statement was in error." But she did not attempt to explain how the error on the application occurred in the first place or offer any further explanation. Her attorney amended the application to correct a few clerical errors, but left the heart of the story intact.
The immigration judge also properly gave Georgieva the chance to corroborate her testimony and rehabilitate herself with documentary evidence. See Uwase v. Ashcroft, 349 F.3d 1039, 1041 (7th Cir.2003). Georgieva attempted to corroborate her story by introducing a copy of her passport pages showing that she left Bulgaria for Macedonia and returned one day later, her Euroroma membership card, and medical records from when she was assaulted outside Euroroma. But the immigration judge was unconvinced, because these documents did not cure the fundamental inconsistencies in her testimony. The immigration judge also explained that Georgieva could have reasonably provided additional corroboration—perhaps via affidavits from family or friends—of the beating she suffered as a child or the attempt to sell her into the sex trade. If such evidence was unavailable, it was Georgieva's burden to explain why she had not produced it and why it was unreasonable for the immigration judge to expect her to do so. See Hussain v. Gonzales, 424 F.3d 622, 629 (7th Cir.2005) (noting that an immigration judge must explain "why it is reasonable to expect additional corroboration ... [and] an account of why the petitioner's explanation for not producing that corroboration is inadequate."). She did not explain either. Accordingly, it was reasonable for the immigration judge to conclude that Georgieva had not overcome the discrepancies in her stories that led to the incredibility finding.
One feature that gives us pause is that Georgieva's hearing testimony, which she claims is the accurate telling, is actually the less severe of the two stories. An asylum applicant would be more likely to embellish, not scale back, her story at the hearing, in an effort to bolster her case. See, e.g., Xiao v. Mukasey, 547 F.3d 712, 717 (7th Cir.2008) (upholding adverse credibility finding where an asylum-seeker initially failed to disclose alleged forced abortion at the hands of Chinese officials but then sought to include it in her application and at her hearing). But this feature of Georgieva's case cannot rescue her from the immigration judge's adverse credibility finding. Our decision in Ahmad v. INS, 163 F.3d 457 (7th Cir.1999), is instructive. The asylum applicant there was an Ahmadi Muslim seeking to avoid removal to Pakistan. In his asylum application, he claimed that Sunni Muslims in Pakistan had regularly tortured him and had threatened him if he did not leave the country. But at his hearing, the applicant walked back his accusations—he claimed that while his tormenters tied him to a pole overnight, they had harassed him only once and never tortured him. Id. at 459–62. So while we also face testimony less horrific than the allegations contained in the initial application, we must affirm the immigration judge's finding, as we did in Ahmad.
Georgieva had a new lawyer before the Board of Immigration Appeals and sought a remand to the immigration court in part for ineffective assistance of counsel. She claimed that the deficient performances of both the attorney who helped prepare her initial application statement and the attorneys who represented her in the immigration court led to the adverse credibility finding. But the Board found the performance of Georgieva's former attorneys adequate, especially since her second crop of attorneys had the opportunity to—and did—amend her earlier statement.
On appeal, Georgieva does not argue ineffective assistance of counsel directly, but she raises the same alleged shortcomings by her attorneys to explain the inconsistencies in her testimony. In short, she says that her asylum application statement was inaccurately taken by her first lawyer, and that the lawyers who represented her in the immigration court failed to amend the meat of her claim (though they did change a few dates), despite telling her that they would. The immigration judge asked Georgieva directly about the inconsistencies in her story and she indicated that her lawyer had fixed the errors in her application. But she now says that this was a misunderstanding on her part. What happened, she avers, is that the immigration judge and the attorneys had an untranslated colloquy where the small changes were actually made, and that she mistakenly thought the lawyer had made the substantive changes she requested. Thus, when the judge asked her about the inconsistencies between her application and hearing testimony, she did not know what she was conceding.
Georgieva's motion before the Board was brought pursuant to Matter of Lozada, 19 I. & N. Dec. 637 (B.I.A.1988), which set forth procedures for pursuing an ineffective assistance of counsel claim before the Board. Lozada requires that the lawyer whose performance is being attacked be notified and be given the opportunity to respond. Id. at 639. Georgieva's attorneys from the immigration court moved on their own to supplement the record before the Board and defend their performance—they said that Georgieva was confused about what had happened and had difficulty keeping her stories straight during hearing preparation, and that the immigration judge gave her plenty of opportunities to amend her application. Georgieva of course disputes this claim. But whatever actually transpired during Georgieva's hearing preparation, she has nothing but her bare assertion to suggest that she was unaware of the contents of her statement or that the immigration judge did not give her a genuine opportunity to make corrections. In the immigration context, as in other areas, "[l]itigants are generally bound by the conduct of their attorneys, absent egregious circumstances." Id. The immigration judge was in the best position to evaluate Georgieva's credibility, and nothing about her lawyer's performance requires us to upset the immigration judge's finding of incredibility.
B. Past persecution
Though we affirm the immigration judge's credibility determination, Georgieva would still be entitled to relief if she could demonstrate through independent evidence that she was a victim of past persecution. But persecution is more than harassment, and Georgieva cannot make the strong showing required. See Ciorba v. Ashcroft, 323 F.3d 539, 545 (7th Cir.2003). Persecution includes:
detention, arrest, interrogation, prosecution, imprisonment, illegal searches, confiscation of property, surveillance, beatings, torture, ... behavior that threatens the same ... and non-life-threatening behavior such as torture and economic deprivation if the resulting conditions are sufficiently severe.... However, generalized conditions of hardship which affect entire populations do not rise to the level of persecution.
Capric, 355 F.3d at 1084 (internal citations and quotation marks omitted).
Outside of her testimony, Georgieva lacks evidence to show that she was persecuted because she is Roma. She has no evidence corroborating the childhood incident that occurred in the school restroom. She also has nothing to support her claim that she was targeted for the sex trade, nor anything to connect her 2002 assault to her status as a Roma. Although Georgieva did not contradict herself in the retelling of some incidents, such as the beating she suffered as a child, a "single discrepancy is enough to find petitioner's entire testimony not credible." Xiao, 547 F.3d at 717.
The corroborating evidence—consisting of Dimitrov's testimony, a copy of a page from her passport, her Euroroma membership card, and some dental records—merely shows that Georgieva is Roma, that she was in Euroroma, that she was in Macedonia for one day in 2000, and that she had dental surgery after being assaulted in 2002. None of this evidence shows that any of the harm she suffered was because of her Roma heritage.
C. Well-founded fear of future persecution
Asylum applicants who have not been persecuted in the past can still demonstrate eligibility for asylum by showing a fear of future persecution that is subjectively genuine and objectively reasonable. See, e.g., Li Ying Zheng v. Holder, 722 F.3d 986, 990 (7th Cir.2013). The applicant's subjective fear is generally established through her testimony and depends on the immigration judge's evaluation of her credibility. Capric, 355 F.3d at 1085. The objective component requires the applicantto prove either (1) a reasonable probability she will be singled out for persecution or (2) a pattern or practice of persecution against a particular group, to which she belongs. 8 C.F.R. § 208.13(b)(2).
Georgieva introduced no evidence (except her testimony) that she would be singled out for persecution upon returning to Bulgaria. So she can prevail only if she can demonstrate a pattern or practice of mistreatment of the Roma people in Bulgaria. Pattern and practice requires a strong showing, and persecution of an ethnic group must be "extreme" to qualify. Mitreva v. Gonzales, 417 F.3d 761, 765 (7th Cir.2005). As we have often indicated, "[t]here must be a systematic, pervasive, or organized effort to kill, imprison, or severely injure members of the protected group, and this effort must be perpetrated or tolerated by state actors." Id. (citations and internal quotation marks omitted).
In Mitreva, we were also faced with a Roma asylum-seeker from Bulgaria. The conditions on the ground for the Bulgarian Roma then were similar to what they are now. There is no doubt that the Roma are victims of pervasive discrimination in employment, education, health care, and housing, and are occasionally the targets of violence. See U.S. Dep't of State, Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2013, Bulgaria, at 24–26 (2013), available at http:// www. state. gov/ documents/ organization/ 220473. pdf. But there is no indication that the Bulgarian government sanctions this conduct. Id.; Mitreva, 417 F.3d at 766. If anything, State Department reports indicate that anti-Roma violence has declined since Mitreva was decided in 2005, even as discrimination remains widespread. See U.S. Dep't of State, 2010 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, Bulgaria, at 23 (2010), available at http:// www. state. gov/ documents/ organization/ 160182. pdf. In short, there is no reason for us to find a pattern of persecution of the Roma in Bulgaria in 2014 where there was none in 2005.
Georgieva also makes a claim for humanitarian asylum based on the "other serious harm" her family will suffer if removed, because of the ages of her children and her older son's autism. However, humanitarian asylum is only available for those asylum-seekers who have demonstrated past persecution. See, e.g., Matter of L–S–, 25 I. & N. Dec. 705, 710 (B.I.A.2012). Because Georgieva has not established past persecution, she is ineligible for humanitarian asylum.
Finally, to be eligible for withholding of removal, Georgieva must show a "clear probability" that she would be persecuted. Toure v. Holder, 624 F.3d 422, 428 (7th Cir.2010). Similarly, relief under the Convention Against Torture only applies where it is "more likely than not" that the deportee will be tortured if returned to the country of removal. Id. at 429. Thus, Georgieva's other claims require a stronger case than that needed for asylum, so they fail as well.
The petition for review is Denied.
stating that if the IJ finds an applicant's story incredible, the applicant must provide corroborating evidence and explain the discrepancies
Summary of this case from Alvarenga-Flores v. Sessions


At the request of the Legal Affairs Committee of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, the 'Venice Commission' adopted an interim opinion on 11-12 March 2016 and a final opinion on 10-11 June 2016, regarding amendments to the Constitutional Law of the Constitutional Court of Russia (the 'Constitutional Law'). According to the new law, a ruling from an international body – including the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) – can be declared "impossible to implement" if it is in conflict with the Russian Constitution.
In its analysis, the Venice Commission addressed the main points of the Russian Constitutional Court's judgment, as well as the constitutional amendments of 2015, concluding that the system put in place may breach a number of norms of international law and of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The Commission therefore recommended that Russia take a number of measures, including removing two of the key amendments which introduce new powers for the Constitutional Court. Notwithstanding the Commission's interim opinion, the Russian authorities have not started the process of amending the Constitutional Law and, in April 2016, the Constitutional Court ruled that the 2013 ECtHR judgment regarding prisoners' voting rights was non-executable in the Russian legal order. Although this might not be the practice in the future, the episode sets a worrying precedent for the non-execution of decisions issued by the Strasbourg Court. In June 2016, the Commission adopted a final opinion based on the analysis provided in the interim opinion and on the information collected by members of the Commission during their meetings held with Russian authorities.

Man United set to give up on signing Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho - report
Manchester United are set to concede defeat in the race to sign Borussia Dortmund forward Jadon Sancho, according to a report

Manchester United are set to concede defeat in their bid to sign Borussia Dortmund forward Jadon Sancho, according to a report in England.
The Daily Mirror, as quoted by the Express, is reporting that the Red Devils are ready to shelve plans to sign the England international from the Bundesliga outfit in the summer transfer window.
The same article states that the 20-time English champions are ready to wait another 12 months to sign the former Manchester City man after drawn out negotiations with Borussia Dortmund.
According to the same story, the Bundesliga giants want a transfer fee in the region of £108m for the 20-year-old in the 2020 summer transfer window given his prolific form in the German top flight.
The report goes on to add that Manchester United could consider an alternative such as Douglas Costa or Kingsley Coman for the 2020-21 Premier League season.
The Daily Mirror add that the Red Devils believe Borussia Dortmund are being unrealistic with their transfer demands given the current global pandemic and subsequent financial crisis.
The story reveals that Manchester United have reservations about paying Sancho a huge contract worth around £300,000 a week in order to land the England star.
Sancho scored 17 times and made 16 assists in the Bundesliga last season to help Borussia Dortmund finish in second place in the German top flight last term.
Borussia Dortmund signed Sancho in an £8m deal from Manchester City in the 2017 summer transfer window after the forward moved to Germany in search of first-team football.
Manchester United finished in third place in the Premier League table last season, while the Red Devils suffered defeats in the League Cup, FA Cup and Europa League semi-finals.
The 20-time English champions will start the 2020-21 Premier League season with a home clash against Crystal Palace on Saturday 19 September.
