The 2016 Eid stamp.
The U.S. Postal Service has launched an investigation after a woman claiming to be an employee said on Facebook that she would ensure any mail with a Forever Stamp recognizing the two Muslim holidays of Eid would be "lost or destroyed."
The woman identifying herself as Catherine An Ray shared a Facebook post by Pamela Geller, labeled an extremist by the Southern Poverty Law Center for her anti-Muslim views, on Monday criticizing the release of the stamp "in wake of Orlando Ramadan mass murder."
"[As] A US Mail Carrier I can personally assure everyone here that anything with this stamp on it will be lost or destroyed in the system before is [sic] makes delivery. Guaranteed," Ray wrote in sharing the post.

"Happy Ramadan," she added, referring to the Muslim holy month of fasting, which culminates in the holiday of Eid ul-Fitr.
The USPS now trying to determine if the woman is an actual employee.
"At this time we cannot confirm if the person involved in this matter is a postal employee, but we can assure you that the incident is being fully investigated and that the Postal Service will take whatever action is appropriate," Toni DeLancey, a spokeswoman for the postal service, said.
Refusing to deliver mail would result in the employee being fired, she added, noting that the USPS prohibits discrimination and harassment in any form based on religion, race, creed, color, or national origin.
The delay or destruction of mail is also federal offense that can result in jail time.
Catherine An Ray did not immediately respond to requests for comment via Facebook.
Her post was published one day after 29-year-old Omar Mateen opened fire inside the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, killing 49 people and injuring 53 others.
Ray's Facebook profile contains numerous anti-Islamic and racist images, including one of President Obama that was altered to look like a primate.
Another photo shows a woman with a gun pointed with the message: "Welcome to the U.S.A MUZZIES! You'll find we do things a little differently here."
"Muzzies" is a derogatory word used to describe Muslims in some circles.
According to the USPS, the stamp, unveiled last Friday at the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn, Michigan, has been dedicated almost yearly since 2001 for "the two most important festivals — or eids — in the Islamic calendar: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha."

Anna E. Schoen-René was perhaps the last of her generation to teach classical singing as it had been taught for generations, having learned both the art of singing and its vocal pedagogy from two eminent masters—Pauline Viardot-García and her brother Manuel García, from whom Schoen-René specialized in the teaching of men.
Her procedures were geared towards those who had—in her own words—"good vocal material." Having been accepted into her studio, the student then had to be able to speak and sing all five of the Italian vowels (e, i, a, o, u) in an open-throated and pure manner; that is, with no hint of a guttural or nasal timbre—the result, of course, being placement. For those with ears to hear, this was not a big deal. However, this requirement was a real THING, the starting gate through which every student had to pass or there was no going forward. And if you couldn't do it, and do it in a reasonable amount of time, Schoen-René would drop you like a hot potato. Tough? You have no idea.
When the student had learned how to create a beautiful tone, he or she was then made to exercise the voice on scales and exercises for the better part of a year before any repertoire was given. Mind you, this took place in the environment of the Juilliard School—a prestigious conservatory which admitted only the very best students on a scholarship basis. (Schoen-René's private students—who sang both classical and popular music, were subjected to the same kind of training.) Sadly, this kind of approach simply does not exist in any conservatory today.
What do we have instead? Repertoire is required from day one, and instead of Italian tonal values being the beginning point, languages are studied as electives. Vocal pedagogy is a science heavy endeavor, with voice students learning about anatomy, physiology and acoustics, but next to nothing about the procedures of the old Italian school. Sure, some may hear the names García or Lamperti, but have they read their works or studied their teachings? No.
Knowing about has supplanted doing—at least in terms of the procedures of the old Italian school. And there is a lot to know as a result of recent advances in voice science. Because of this, voice teachers today are seduced into approaching the teaching of singing in a mechanical manner, which, if anything, recalls the period of late 19th century when there was an explosion of knowledge about the vocal mechanism, and brought about what one writer (Edmund Myer) called the "local effort" school.
We have our own "local effort" school, which is less about the direct control of muscles of the body (the late 19th century preoccupation) and more about control of the muscles of the larynx as evidenced in an obsession with the separation of registers, and the larynx's articulation of certain vocal qualities, including falsetto, chest, mix and belt.
This is what you get when you pull up the roots of the tree of singing.

Hormones in dairy food and their impact on public health—a narrative review article.
Dairy foods, such as cows milk, may elevate the risk of developing cancer.
This study investigated the role of the hormones in dairy foods in the development of cancer. Researchers reviewed data extracted from several studies and articles on the relationship between cancer risk and the hormones in dairy products, laying special emphasis on cows milk. They discovered that dairy foods contain steroid hormones. These hormones, especially estrogens, were found to be associated with cancer risk. The results of this review highlight the role of steroid hormones in the promotion of cancer by dairy foods.

Beef exports to Indonesia surge during May.
By Matt Dalgleish | Source: DAWR
The seasonal pattern of total volume of beef exports continues to closely mirror the pattern set by the five-year seasonal average.
A very strong surge in beef exports to Indonesia was reported during May as the country prepares for Ramadan.
The proportion of beef exports to Asia is the highest it has been since 2013 at 60% of total beef exports.
The Department of Agriculture and Water Resources (DAWR) released the May beef exports figures showing a strong surge in consignments to Indonesia pushing the proportion of Australian beef exports to Asia to 60% of total export volume for the current season, the highest this proportion has been since 2013.
Despite the big jump in Indonesian consignments the overall export volumes for the 2016 season continue to replicate the pattern set by the five-year average – figure 1.
Overall beef export volumes remain robust with an increase of 17% during May to see 100,844 tonnes swt reported. Despite the good month to month result volumes remain lower than the same time last year largely due to a reduction in consignments to the US.
The 2015 season saw uncharacteristically large volumes of Australian beef product shipped to America so the year on year decline in export volumes is representative of a shift back to a more normal pattern rather than a contracting export market in need of concern. Indeed, exports of beef to the US during May totalled 29,257 tonnes swt, which is 14.7% above the five-year average for May.
Similarly, beef exports to South Korea reported at 14,474 tonnes swt represent an increase of 20.5% above the average May volumes for the last five years. In contrast, volumes to Japan are not demonstrating the same vitality. The May consignment of 23,460 tonnes swt reported is 17.7% below the five-year average for this time of year.
The dip in Japanese demand for Australian beef more than compensated by a very strong surge in shipments to Indonesia during May. The reported 10,446 tonnes swt a staggering 404% increase from the April volumes and 260% above the five-year average for May. Indeed, the Indonesian beef export volumes for May are now the highest on record beating the October 2015 peak of 7,537 tonnes swt by 38.6% - figure 2.
The surge in beef exports due to the Indonesian Trade Ministry increasing the country's beef import quota to 27,400 tonnes, which is nearly triple their Agriculture Ministry's recommendation, in an attempt to keep beef prices affordable during the Ramadan season. The strong Indonesian beef exports volumes for May pushing the 2016 season pattern for total exports to Asia toward the top of the seasonal range – figure 3. The 62,390 tonnes swt reported for beef exports to Asia representing a 7.6% increase on the five-year average level for May.
Contractions in beef export volumes to one destination can be offset by increased trade to other centres so that the overall impact upon export volumes is negligible. Diversity brings stability and confidence to a market and, as is the case within the natural environment, diversity is a sign of health and vitality.
Efforts undertaken by industry bodies like the MLA to expand the export sector for red meat by the continual promotion of Australian beef overseas to a variety of regions are vital to maintain a broad and diverse market place for our producers. Diversity of destination and diversity of product (live cattle exports as well as chilled and frozen cuts) are essential for the overall health of the beef sector.
This is a further supporting factor in the positive outlook for beef in general, and for Australian beef markets specifically. Coupled with the excellent seasonal conditions on much of the Eastern seaboard it is hard not to have a very positive feel for the cattle markets in the short to medium term.

Numerical prediction of progressive collapse of buildings due to extreme loading is still a challenging task. However, increased computational power makes it nowadays possible to analyze not only small-scale connections and mid-size building elements, but also full buildings with considerable height and complexity. The present paper compares the results of Finite Element Method (FEM) and Applied Element Method (AEM) simulations to experimental results when performing blast or earthquake analysis on those three scales. The aim is to highlight which level of physical detail and complexity is required to predict progressive collapse numerically, and which level of accuracy can be expected. For the full scale level, the progressive collapse of the Pyne Gould Corporation Building in Christchurch, New Zealand, was simulated and compared to the final collapse shape. It is shown that the FEM is able to predict the structural response of small scale models well, but fails to achieve realistic collapsed shapes in case of the large structure, whereas the AEM shows convincing results in all cases.


In the past few years, the IRS has started forcefully asserting IRC§6695 and §6694 penalties on preparers.
Join Robert E. McKenzie in this on-demand webinar as he goes through the essential components of preparing return such as, the rewards and risks of relying on client information, due diligence, approval mechanisms and office review. Robert will explore the strategies and techniques for avoiding preparer penalties and contesting them when the IRS proposes it, and the problems arising out of e-filing.


The Intake Air Temperature (IAT) sensor element extends into the incoming air stream to measure the temperature of the air passing through the intake manifold.
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) sends out a reference voltage of approximately five (5) volts to the IAT sensor. As air temperature changes, the internal resistance of the sensor will change, causing a varying voltage drop across the sensor. The PCM reads the voltage drop across the sensor as charge air temperature.
The PCM uses this information to calculate the proper injector pulse width and spark advance.
A failing IAT sensor may cause: rough idle, driveability problems, bad a/f ratio, hesitation, and loss of power. This may also lead to decreased gas mileage and performance.

DoH spends £2.72m on Google Adwords
admin 9 February 2010
The Department of Health has been promoting its online services through the use of Google's bidding systems
Health minister Phil Hope said that the department spent £2,720,457.11 between 1 February 2009 and 31 January 2010, running 21,939 active search terms on Google's Adwords service, through which users bid for space on the search engine's sponsored links.
Hope refused to provide details on which search terms the department is using, due to commercial sensitivity. "In particular, the collection of the keywords the department has paid for on NHS Choices is estimated to have taken approximately one year to complete," he said on 8 February 2010, in response to a parliamentary written answer from Conservative shadow minister Nick Hurd.
Use of Google suggests that the department is paying for links to NHS Choices' home page to appear with generic search terms including 'health' and 'health information', and links to its smoking cessation section from 'stop smoking'.
"The Department of Health's campaigns are designed to deliver better health, whether they be to help people change their behaviours to protect their long term health, to signpost people to NHS services, or to encourage healthier lifestyles," said a departmental spokesperson. "The campaigns are evaluated using a combination of robust techniques that help us identify exactly what works, so we know that these campaigns are saving lives."
The department said that its anti-smoking marketing puts 2m smokers each year in touch with NHS cessation services, and estimates that 10,000 more people have got early access to care as a result of its Act FAST campaign, which publicises the main symptoms of strokes and advocates swift action.
It added that more than 400,000 families have signed up to the Change4Life healthy living campaign, which it believes has been seen by virtually all mothers of children under 11, and which according to data from the department's commercial partners is already changing the types of food bought by families.
Hurd, who is shadow minister for the Cabinet Office, was critical of the spending. "This shows how the government's advertising and marketing spend is out of control. And it is a sign of yet more wasteful spending from a department that has already blown £12 billion on a botched IT system," he said.
The DoH is also the only department so far to acknowledge that it has spent substantial amounts money on licensing fonts. In response to another question from Hurd. Phil Hope said the department has spent £18,112 on font licences over the past three years.
The Department for Transport said the Driving Standards Agency spent £142 in 2007. The Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the Departments of International Development, Communities and Local Government, Culture, Media and Sport all replied that they have not spent anything on font licensing in the same period.
The Home Office said "from the best available information" neither it nor its agencies have spent anything on this over the period. The Department for Work and Pensions said such information could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
A Conservative spokesperson has criticised the spend as a waste of money. Nick Hurd, shadow minister for the Cabinet Office, said: "This shows how the government's advertising and marketing spend is out of control. And it is a sign of yet more wasteful spending from a department that has already blown £12 billion on a botched IT system."

What if 1 Micrometer of Dark Matter Entered Your Body?
Mahi Uddin January 04, 2020 Alternate History, what if
This is great what if questions to ask, Here we see what would happen if if 1 Micrometer of Dark Matter Entered Your Body? This crazy what if questions will bring you in new imagination world. Let starts Today's fascinating hypothetical questions.
A new study of dark matter revealed something unbelievable. It turns out that it can penetrate your body and literally turn you into plasma.
Moreover, scientists suggest that dark matter has more than once become the cause of global catastrophes and mass extinctions on our planet. And most interestingly, in the relatively near future, this may happen again, is our species due to extinction? What happens if just one micrometer of dark matter gets into your body? What danger does it pose and what is its importance to all of humanity?
If you bring together all the planets, stars, gasp dust, galaxies and everything else that our universe consists of, you can see that the total of all matter does not converge, but rather expands the matter we see accumulates for me. cosmic web clusters of galaxies grow to enormous sizes inside which we can observe the movement of galaxies at the most incredible speeds. This movement provides powerful gravitational effects.
But according to scientists, for all this to work, you need five times more matter than what we see. So does this mean there's something else that is some matter that we don't see the US? In order to explain all these contradictions, scientists introduced the term dark matter, they began to create simulations of vast cosmic proportions and saw an interesting picture. If we take into account only the normal visible matter of the universe, which modern technologies can detect.
Galaxies do not form an all at the way they look. In reality, the areas highlighted here in red, but if dark matter is added to the simulation At a ratio of five to one, galaxies behave almost the same way as in real life.
The park highlighted in blue and purple, the US scientists came to the conclusion that if this matter really exists, that our Milky Way should have a huge halo of dark matter, and part of it passes through our solar system, the earth and even our bodies, every second, billions of particles of dark matter, fly through me, you and several billion other people around the planet.
It doesn't interact directly with ordinary matter, its particles pass through living organisms without colliding with atoms, but there are times when clashes do occur versus a logical question Rose is such a collision harmful to our health. In July 2019, a team of scientists from Case Western Reserve University led by one Glenn starkman conducted a study to find out if a person can be used as a living detector of dark matter. According to scientists, it turned out that this is not at all safe. They found that Dark Matters able to combine with ordinary baryonic matter in clumps, or so called macros. These clumps scatter in space at hypersonic speeds, the energy of one macro can achieve the same energy as a bullet fired from a 22 caliber rifle.
But if you have to choose between death from a rifle or a client of dark matter, it would be better to give preference to the former compared to this mysterious substance. Ordinary bullets seem like paint balls. The fact is that the clumps of dark matter are absolutely invisible and in theory should be only a few micrometers in size. However, once in the human body, they heat up to 10 million Kelvin which is 1.2 seven three times the temperature of our Sun after which they transform into an expanding cylinder of plasma. This is enough to burn a small hole through your body.
It's unlikely that any of you could withstand such hellish pain and such extreme temperatures. But if a person comes under fire from several of these clots, the body can even be split into separate atoms and completely turn into plasma. But despite the fact that a huge number of dark matter particles passed through the body of every Earth light throughout their life, no one has yet died from this in the entire history of mankind.
Not a single death from dark matter has ever been recorded, and not a single person has ever been discovered with such holes in her body. It's all about density. According to scientists, models and simulations, all galaxies should be shrouded in a huge halo of Dark Matter its density is at its maximum in the center and very low in remote parts of the galaxy. Thus, in the location where we all are now 25,000 light years from the center of our galaxy, ordinary matter prevails, and the amount of dark matter is quite small.
If you collect all the dark matter in the solar system up to the orbit of Neptune, you get no more than 10 to the 17th kilograms, something like the mass of a small asteroid on Earth, the situation is quite different from what we see in interstellar space, the density of the human body is comparable to water 1000 kilograms per cubic meter.
The density of dark matter on Earth, even in the most realistic simulations is several times lower than 10 to the minus 12 kilograms per cubic meter. If you were to collect all the dark matter located inside all the people on earth and any given point in time it would be measured in just nanograms. If you want to know how much Dark Matter passes through your body during a certain time you need to multiply only four values.
The density of dark matter the surface area of the person through which Dark Matter passes its speed and the length of time, for example, a second a year, or an entire human life, which is on average about 80 years, the calculation will take only a minute, the density of dark matter on earth is approximately 10 to the minus 12 kilograms per cubic meter, just surface area of a person is 1.7 square meters.
Since dark matter can come from a random angle, we can estimate the area intersected by dark matter at about 0.6 square meters. Our solar system orbits around the center of our galaxy at a speed of about 200 kilometers per second. But with respect to dark matter, this movement should be faster closer to 350 kilometers per second.
This means that relative to the earth, dark matter moves at a speed on the order of 400 kilometers per second with us at any given moment in time, there are about 10 to the minus 22nd kilograms of dark matter inside of you. However, a much greater amount of it constantly passes through you for every second about 2.5 times 10 to the minus 22nd kilograms of dark matter each year, about 10 to the minus eight kilograms in 80 years, about one milligram of dark matter will pass through a human being. As you know, this small amount does not create any consequences.
Thus, we see a kind of paradox in order to at least slightly raise the veil of secrecy of the universe. We need to detect the dark matter, thereby proving its existence in practice, due to the fact that its density on earth is quite low. It's incredibly difficult to do this. But if the density of dark matter were much higher, it would be simply impossible to catch it about 10 octillion, that's 10 times 10 to the 48 power of the particles that make up the human body stick together thanks to electromagnetic, gravitational and nuclear forces.
If all these particles are suddenly replaced by dark matter, these forces that hold the particles of our body together will simply stop working human organs, cells, molecules and atoms will instantly decay into the smallest particles and fly apart in different directions at a speed of 9842 feet per second floor 3000 meters per second. Simply put, I would have evaporated and cease to exist at the atomic bomb.
And you would not have seen this video, it's interesting to note that the speed of these particles will not be enough to overcome Earth's gravity. So the particles my body wants consisted of will continue to float around our planet for quite some time. All this sounds a little crazy, and I'm not completely sure of the veracity of the latter fact.
But I still have something incredibly important to tell you. Harvard University physicists Lisa Randall and Matthew Reese believe that dark matter could have been an indirect cause of global catastrophes in the past and it could happen again.
According to the scientists, dark matter could have been the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago, a dense disk of dark matter the size of a small planet knocked out a comment from the Oort cloud, which subsequently caused the death of giant terrestrial dinosaurs, but more importantly is It's been proposed that dark matter has led to mass extinctions more than once.
Geophysicist Michael Graham peano believes that about once every 26 to 30 million years, the solar system passes through a dense disk of dark matter. As a result, a fairly large amount of this mysterious substance permeates the crust of our planet and settles into the earth's core clumps of this dark matter become more and more dense, after which the particles destroy each other, which in turn heats the earth's core.( There is another story, you accidentally spill hot tea on yourself, you'll experience burning pain and get burned. But what will happen if a couple of drops of lava, which is hundreds of times hotter than boiled water fall on? , check it out)
This leads to magma rising closer to the surface, provoking destructive volcanic eruptions in disturbing the continents. As a result, mass extinctions of species occur every 26 million years, which is accompanied by the collapse or creation of a super continent if possible, that the next time our species will be at the risk of extinction.
There's also an opinion that the Earth has already received a significantly large dose of dark matter recently, when, in 2018, a whole hurricane of dark matter hit our planet cheerin O'Hare from the University of Zaragoza described this in her study. According to her, the fragments of a dwarf galaxy crashed into the Milky Way, which triggered the appearance of a large stream of dark matter as one which swept across the solar system directly towards the Earth.
Scientists hope that for the first time in history, special detectors would be able to detect dark matter. Look, this did not happen. Indeed, when they designed these detectors, many errors were made. But this doesn't mean that the hurricane did not pass through us researchers are sure that a huge stream of dark energy still reach the earth. At first, it caused a little panic in academia, but later it was horrible. yield that's such a hurricane is no threat to our lives at all, like macro bullets from dark matter.
But what if scientists are wrong? I can only say one thing about this until scientists can accurately detect the real particles of dark matter. All theories remain only guesses and assumptions. However, the opportunities and dangers that lie behind the mysterious substance are simply colossal. Once macros large clumps of dark matter that I mentioned earlier, are fully identified and understood.
This could create a new, super devastating weapon of mass destruction. I'm afraid to even imagine how massive or vice versa, a full understanding of dark matter might solve global problems that humanity has been struggling with for more than a century.

The new year, and any resolutions that accompany it has an impact on the Wellness Center's attendance, sales of fitness passes and investments in personal trainers.
From 4-6 p.m. on Jan. 7 alone more than 300 students swiped their ID at the Wellness Center.
"We sell more fitness passes in the springtime than the fall because the weather is still nice outside during the fall and some students don't realize the offers we have until later in the semester," Shari Landmark, the Wellness Center director of recreation and fitness said.
Colf said the most popular fitness classes are high-intensity yoga, strength-based classes and Zumba. Zumba is the most attended class, with about 30 in each class.
Landmark said the Wellness Center often sees a drop in attendance around spring break, but not a significant one.
"The members are pretty darn consistent," Landmark said regarding attendance at group fitness classes or personal training sessions.
The Wellness Center offers personal training either one-on-one with a trainer or in groups as large as 12 people. Training lasts for six weeks.
The staff at the Wellness Center anticipated the high attendance at the beginning of the second semester. For this reason, they had construction completed over winter break.
Colf said the staff is excited about new exercise equipment arriving in the coming weeks. The Wellness Center offers an orientation class for those unsure about how to use the equipment.
Students are able to sign up for personal training through the Wellness Center's website under the personal training tab and $75 semester-long fitness passes are available at the welcome desk.

Thursday afternoon finally brought relief to Ashley Walker.
MOHEGAN — Thursday afternoon finally brought relief to Ashley Walker.
"I've been the last cut three times in a row, so to kind of make it to the next day is a huge accomplishment for me, I think," Walker said prior to suiting up for her first official game as a member of the Connecticut Sun on Saturday night against the New York Liberty.
What was the worst part was the waiting, something that Sun coach Anne Donovan made excruciating by waiting until the last possible minute before deciding Walker and Natasha Lacy would stay with the team.
There was one thing that Walker knew, which was she had a good preseason. The University of California grad put together two double-digit point performances, grabbed 10 rebounds against Minnesota — a huge plus for a team that might run a deficit in that department — and was 5-for-13 from 3-point range.
At 6-foot-1, she's small to play center in the WNBA. She is probably better suited for forward, but with no real backup for Tina Charles, Walker may have to fill that role. In the past, that lack of a defined role may have hurt Walker. However, it may have helped with the Sun.
"The fact that (Donovan) likes that about me, that she can use me in different ways, it helped me and made my game better," Walker said.
Seattle took Walker with the 12th pick in the 2009 draft, but in a situation similar to Connecticut's first round pick this year, Kelly Faris, Walker broke her foot in camp.
She played 13 games for Seattle in 2009, but was waived the following season. Tulsa picked her up, but played in only two games.
There were times when she felt it was time to look for something else.
When Anne Donovan took over as head coach of the Connecticut Sun, she began talking about one thing, defense.
That was fine with Lacy.
Defense has been her forte in stops in Tulsa, Los Angeles and Washington. In 2011, she was fourth in the WNBA in steals per minute while with the Sparks.
She feels she brings a new defensive intensity that Donovan can pluck off the bench whenever she feels the Sun have to turn it up a notch.
Signing with the team and making the team still were two different things. Despite being a veteran, Lacy was battling more than her share of anxiety of the evening before the final cut was made.
Lacy is happy to be able to stay in Connecticut, although not necessarily for basketball.
"Connecticut was actually my favorite place to visit and play because I loved to go down to the casino after the game and play poker," Lacy said.
Funny enough, now that she's a member of the Sun, she can't do that anymore. It's a small price to pay stay in the WNBA.
The Sun donated the proceeds of tickets sold between May 21 and Saturday night to the victims of the recent tornadoes in Oklahoma.
The money will be donated to the American Red Cross to help with those relief efforts.

We apologize if our text was unclear. When we stated that the cut point of 5 days used in our sensitivity analysis was "not substantially different," we meant relative to the 7-day results, not that the results were no longer significant. In fact, we performed this sensitivity analysis specifically to determine whether our findings were robust enough to justify the specific cut point used. The results show that whether 5 or 7 (or, we suspect, 6 or 8) days is used as the cutoff, the message is still the same: Early readmissions differ from late readmissions.
There is no "actual science" on which to base our choice of which day to use for a cutoff, because this issue has not been studied. We based our decision on clinical judgment, expert opinion, and a close look at the distribution of our data by the day after discharge. We did not simply use comfortable numbers as you suggest. In Figure 2 of our article, it seems that the distribution changes somewhat regarding the number of readmissions on any given day approximately 7 to 8 days after discharge. We hope that this approach was adequate to design our outcome, for which essentially no data were available on which to base our decision.

When most people set off to find a house to rent, many of them get started considering the well known versions of rentals like apartments. These forms of rentals tend to be a lot more public and communal (meaning less private), scaled-down in size, and have limited outdoor space that is solely yours. If perhaps you are intending on relocating to Tribune, houses for rent are likewise a great option. The fact is that there are plenty of good arguments for renting a house versus buying or going for a townhome or apartment, and when using the proper tools, you can readily find the best house for rent in Tribune that matches your way of living and preferences.
Tribune houses for rent are alluring, considering they traditionally provide more room and add-on`s when compared to apartments. Furthermore, rental homes allow residents more flexibility by having lease terms no longer than a year (typically) and limited accountability for maintenance and repairs. Landlords or management companies are usually those who will perform maintenance, along with other fixes, but examine your lease agreement carefully so there`ll be no argument over which party pays for what in case something were to break.
You`ll discover a majority of choices of houses for rent in Tribune are seen in outer areas, as opposed to downtown. Bear in mind, if you are truly determined to move downtown, you can always find some exceptions. The good thing about houses for rent in Tribune—in addition to being economical—is that they make it possible for families, individuals with a number of roommates, and those quite simply in search of added space to live with one another comfortably. Different from other forms of housing, houses are detached from other dwellings—they tend not to have common facilities, and generally include some kind of a yard. Houses for rent in Tribune, Kansas still are also found in easy travel distance to most of the area`s places of work, top destinations and entertainment districts.
Utilizing RentFinder`s search tool, it can let you zero in on available houses for rent in Tribune that satisfy criteria key in your decision making process. Have children?

Again, the homeowner is traditionally in charge of its upkeep, so the condition it`s in now is a sign for how things will probably be maintained when you move there. Does it look like the outdoor area has been looked after and is in nice condition? Are the walls without splitting and breaks, or are the carpets and rugs worn-out? Do all of the lights and appliances operate as they should? Do all of the doors going outside lock securely? It`s also wise to pay attention to the houses closeby. Even when not owned by the exact same person, their upkeep can be influential and an example of the vicinity in general.
Uncertain of what you are in search of in a house for rent in Tribune? Give RentFinder a go this instant—click on the button shown below, and you`ll be on your way.

Jerry Kelly takes 54-hole lead at U.S. Senior Open
By: Associated Press Sun, 01 Jul 2018 | Golfweek
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Jerry Kelly squandered the lead, then regained it, and will head into the final day of the U.S. Senior Open with a 1-shot advantage over David Toms.
Kelly shot 1-over 71 on Saturday at The Broadmoor to finish at 4 under. He three-putted from inside of 2 feet on the 12th hole for a double bogey that briefly cost him the lead.
Toms shot a bogey-free 66.
Tim Petrovic had a 71. He briefly led after making birdie on No. 14, but he bogeyed three his last four holes to finish two out of the lead, tied with Kirk Triplett (68).
Another shot back are Brandt Jobe (66), Paul Goydos (70) and Miguel Angel Jimenez (73), whose only birdie of the day came on a chip-in from the side of the 15th green.

Yesterday Coingeek posted Original Bitcoin is Reborn with Bitcoin SV (BSV); BCH Hash War Ends.
This appears to be admitting defeat by BSV. Implementing replay protection means BSV will alter their code to protect against replay by BAB. This has a ripple effect in that all services supporting BSV must also make updates to be compatible. This kind of change would normally signal weakness or defeat.
Here's why this isn't the case here. BAB beat themselves. Here's a look at ABC in the ring with BSV.
First, BAB added Checkpoints to avoid Nakamoto Consensus and then, within days, doubled down making a unilateral change to how checkpoints are managed with a client update. No time for testing! This was on the fly defensive and centralized development. This treats BAB like a plaything rather than the future of money. Checkpoints violate the Bitcoin whitepaper and, therefore, make ABC something other than Bitcoin. You can read about checkpoints here and here.
If checkpoints weren't enough we are now learning more about Avalanche. Avalanche is a protocol change to support pre consensus which lead ABC developer Amaury Sechet has stated is his primary focus.
Protocol changes DSV and CTOR plus Checkpoints and Avalanche? The conclusion: Bitcoin ABC is not Bitcoin. ABC is an experiment that has branched away from Bitcoin.
At that point I imagine the conversation in the BSV developer and mining community shifted. There's no need to fight ABC. They have beat themselves. They are now a new alt. It's time to move on.
And that's exactly what Coingeek is saying in their article. The fight is over. BSV and BAB are free to move forward but only BSV is still the original Bitcoin.
I applaud BSV for seeing the entire playing field and moving the ball forward. This shift may require more work near term but there's no sense fighting an opponent who has beat themselves. SV now prepares for the next battle.


I have been in denial, I was not ready for summer to come to an end, but the elderberries are ripe and a full harvest moon is upon us.
To me, autumn feels bittersweet. In this area we are blessed with the harvest of ripe fruits and vegetables. Autumn is a time for reflection and a shift inward; a mystical time of the year, when the veils between worlds are thin and the winds begin to blow.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine autumn is a the time of year when the yang energy and warmth of the sun wanes, and the yin energy becomes prominent; Autumn is time to slow down, prepare for winter, strengthening our immune systems, digestive and respiratory systems.
I believe that herbs present themselves when they are needed most; harvesting and tincturing elderberries has become a seasonal ritual. The herbal remedies I turn to in fall and winter are from the season's abundance.
The tiny elderberry is anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, astringent and alterative. Elder is an important herb for the immune system and works best when small doeses are taken regularly. At the first sign of illness, the dose should be taken several times a day. Colds and flus are both effectively treated with elderberry. Elderberry is a rare herb in that it not only prevents infection but also treats the infection after its taken hold.
As part of my journey to prepare for the changing seasons, I harvested elderberries during the full moon when the last of the Elder's summer energies are pulled into the berries. The resulting Blue Elderberry Elixir will be an important remedy in the Autumn Wellness Share.

Saint-Herbot, qui doit son nom à saint Herbot, est une ancienne paroisse de l'évêché de Cornouaille. C'est désormais un village partagé entre les communes de Plonévez-du-Faou (principalement) et Loqueffret en Bretagne (France). Le hameau possède une chapelle, ancienne église paroissiale, célèbre par son enclos paroissial et lieu d'un pardon traditionnel.

Géographie et écologie

Le hameau de Saint-Herbot est implanté dans un site encaissé, un vallon assez étroit aux versants pentus, cela frappait déjà les observateurs les siècles passés. Ainsi l'abbé Seznec écrit en 1857 : « Le vallon est à l'est au nord abrité des vents par une longue chaîne de montagne et égayé par la verdure de ses prairies qui contraste avec l'aridité des cimes. (…) Le voyageur aperçoit à sa droite le ruisseau torrentiel qui alimente la cascade de Saint-Herbot s'échapper des rochers en flots d'écume pou arroser ensuite doucement la vallée ».

Le Chevalier de Fréminville est quelque peu déçu lorsqu'il visite la cascade de Saint-Herbot : « On vante beaucoup aux étrangers, comme une curiosité du pays, la cascade de Saint-Herbot, qui se précipité sur un lit de rochers, dans une vallée sauvage et boisée, à une lieue du Huelgoat. Malheureusement, le temps où elle produit son effet vraiment remarquable n'est pas celui que les curieux choisissent pour voyager ; c'est l'hiver, alors elle est vraiment un beau torrent ; mais pendant l'été, ce torrent est presque tari et son lit ne présente aux regards que des blpcs énormes de granit entassés les uns sur les autres ».

« La plus remarquable des cascades est celle de Saint-Herbot qui, sur une longueur de quelques centaines de  mètres, descend de  d'altitude, au milieu d'un amoncellement de blocs granitiques de toutes grosseurs et de toutes formes que creusent, entaillent ou même séparent entièrement de nombreuses marmites ».

La cascade a disparu et l'Éllez a été domestiquée, mais le reste de la description est toujours valable de nos jours.

Les "Combles de la chapelle de Saint-Herbot" font l'objet d'un Arrêté préfectoral de protection de biotope en date du , « considérant que la chapelle de Saint-Herbot en Plonévez-du-Faou abrite une colonie de reproduction et d'hivernage de grands rhinolophes ainsi que la sérotine commune, le murin de Natterer, l'oreillard gris et la pipistrelle commune, espèces naturelles protégées. (...) L'accès des personnes est interdite dans la zone protégée ».

Histoire

Historique de la chapelle
Une première église fut détruite lors de la guerre de Succession de Bretagne (1341-1364): le pape Urbain VI accorde alors des indulgences pour la reconstruction de Sancta Erbaudi. Elle est remplacée fin  ou plutôt début  par l'église actuelle, construite grâce aux dons des pèlerins et de la famille ducale, et aux revenus provenant des traditionnelles foires annuelles. Le porche sud, construit par l'atelier ducal du Folgoët, et le clocher-porche sont dus au mécénat d'Anne de Bretagne. L'inventaire des titres de la chapelle mentionne des titres depuis 1505.

Certains auteurs affirment que c'est un ancien prieuré dépendant de l'abbaye de Landévennec. C'est plus probablement un ancien prieuré ducal des Carmes de Rennes : la tradition veut que Jean II de Bretagne, Comte de Richemond  , seigneur du Huelgoat est à l'origine de l'Ordre Mendiant des Carmes en Bretagne, mais ils vinrent plus probablement à l'initiative des seigneurs du Rusquec, au temps où ceux-ci avaient une fonction officielle à la cour du duc de Bretagne. Les noms de certains "prêtres gouverneurs" responsables de cette communauté de Carmes sont connus, messires Jehan de Launay, Chorantin Kerdiffez, Chorantin Coz qui furent commanditaires de la construction de l'église. Ces carmes devaient aussi exercer une mission évangélisatrice au service des paroisses avoisinantes, ce qui expliquerait le thème quatre fois répété des apôtres.

D'importantes foires et un pardon célèbre s'y déroulent depuis au moins le début du . Des plaids généraux de la sénéchaussée commune au Huelgoat, à Châteauneuf-du-Faou et à Landeleau s'y tenaient alors, soit dans l'enclos, soit dans la chapelle du prieuré, le jour de la foire chaque vendredi avant le dimanche de la Trinité au moins depuis 1643, mais probablement bien avant.

En 1793, un décret de la Convention impose que les cloches soient fondues pour être transformées à Brest en canons. La paroisse de Saint-Herbot n'ayant pas exécuté le dit décret, un commissaire fut nommé et envoyé sur place. Mais la cloche était si grosse, si lourde et si dangereuse à démonter qu'il fut impossible de le faire. L'histoire ne dit pas ce qu'il advint finalement car en 1887 elle fut remplacée par une nouvelle cloche nommée "Herbot".

En vendémiaire an XI (septembre ou ), les habitants du village faisaient une pétition pour demander d'utiliser à leur profit la chapelle du Prieuré : « éloignés du chef-lieu de notre mairie d'environ deux lieues et demi, nous éprouvons des difficultés insurmontables dans la fréquentation du dit chef-lieu relativement aux différents exercices de notre religion, difficultés propres en quelques sorte à nous les faire abandonner. En effet les jours en hyver sont si courts et les chemins que nous avons à fréquenter (…) si impraticables que nous ne pourrions nous procurer dans plusieurs occasions le secours des ministres de la religion (…) ». Ils réclament le droit de continuer à enterrer leurs morts dans le cimetière du prieuré, de faire baptiser leurs enfants dans la chapelle « quoi que cette église soit en très mauvaise réparation et privée de tous les ornements », néanmoins « cette chapelle, une des plus belles du département, est en grande vénération à une infinité de personnes, le grand nombre de pèlerins qui y vient de pais même fort éloignés contribue à fortifier la foi et à réveiller l'attention de personnes qui se laissent aller quelquefois à des égarements ». Les vingt-et-un hommes qui ont signé font confiance à l'évêque pour seconder leur démarche dès lors que « il ne s'agit que de nous procurer les moyens de salut » et ils assurent le sous-préfet de Châteaulin « si vous daignez être favorable à nos désirs nous vous prions d'être persuadé que nous formerons des vœux au ciel pour votre conservation ».

Le pardon des bovins

Les croyances en l'efficacité de saint Herbot pour guérir le bétail entraînait des scènes pittoresques : Armand Dayot écrit en 1897 : « Le pouvoir de saint Herbot consiste à guérir les bêtes à cornes. En temps d'épizootie, son pouvoir est triomphant et c'est l'époque où sur son autel se dressent, saignantes et puantes, au milieu des essaims de mouches, des pyramides de queues de vaches. Car sous peine de voir mourir sa bête, le paysan qui l'a vouée à saint Herbot doit, aussitôt la guérison accomplie, trancher à l'animal délivré son appendice caudal et le déposer, avec une prière, aux pieds de la statue du saint ». On fait des offrandes en nature (porcelets de lait, mottes de beurre) : la "Fête du beurre" subsiste toujours à Saint-Herbot.

Paul Branda en 1887 parle de "Saint-Herbot, la chapelle des charbonniers perdue dans les bois".

Léon de Vesly écrit en 1894 : « Les trois jours que durent la foire et le pardon, tous les bœufs de la Cornouaille se reposent et leurs propriétaires viennent déposer à l'entour du sarcophage de granit où gît le corps du saint, une poignée de crins coupée à la queue des animaux. Lors des épizooties, les offrandes redoublent et les animaux sont promenés autour de la chapelle ». En 1928 encore, le pardon durait trois jours : « la chapelle de Saint-Herbot où, chaque année, trois jours durant, tous les bestiaux de Cornouaille viennent pour le grand pardon. (…) Pendant ces solennités, le sol reste en friches (…) et les bêtes à cornes ont litière fraîche et double ration de luzerne. ».

D'autres pratiques curieuses semblent avoir existé: à la suite d'un procès en diffamation, une publication de 1899 raconte qu'à Saint-Herbot "des femmes, pour conjurer leur stérilité, venaient se frotter contre une pierre située à une certaine distance de la chapelle.

Le journal L'Ouest-Éclair écrit dans sa description du pardon de 1906 : « Les tourezien-bleo ou "tondeurs de cheveux" ont fait une bonne récolte au pardon de Saint-Herbot. Les jeunes filles de Plonévez, de Collorec et de Plouyé affluaient dans leurs boutiques pour y troquer le voile naturel de leur tête contre quelque mouchoir ou foulard de couleur voyante ou autre menu colifichet ».

Le journal La Croix fait en 1940 cette description du "Pardon aux bovins" de Saint-Herbot :

 Seigneur saint Herbot béni
 Du fond du cœur je vous prie
 De répandre votre bénédiction sur le lait que je traie
 Pour que s'élève beaucoup de crème
 À contenter mes bourgeois
 Et à la fin de l'année
 Je vous promet un veau…

L'enclos paroissial

Il est dédié à saint Herbot.

La chapelle de Saint-Herbot fait partie de la première liste de monuments français classés dès 1840 par Prosper Mérimée. La chapelle a été officiellement classée monument historique par arrêté du  et le calvaire par arrêté du . Elle a été restaurée par l'architecte Chaussepied, de Quimper, juste avant la première  guerre mondiale ".

Le placître et son calvaire

Côté sud, on arrive à l'enclos par une esplanade bordée de hêtres. À l'intérieur du placître, l'ossuaire, accolé au porche sud, a été rajouté en 1558 et le calvaire en kersanton date de 1571. Il présente à son pied trois marches et possède une vingtaine de sculptures représentant, côté ouest, le Christ supplicié, escorté de la Vierge Marie et de Saint-Jean. Deux anges recueillent le sang du Christ dans des coupes. Les deux larrons sur des croix sont visibles aux deux extrémités. Côté est, Saint Herbot tient un livre ouvert. À ses pieds se trouve une Piéta. La console sur laquelle se trouve le groupe est ornée en bas relief du voile de Véronique présenté par des anges, tandis que d'autres tiennent les instruments de la passion.

L'église devenue chapelle

La chapelle de Saint-Herbot, ancienne église paroissiale, de plan rectangulaire à trois vaisseaux, date des  et  et est de style gothique flamboyant. Son porche sud, de style italien (c'est une nouveauté à l'époque), contient des statues des Apôtres qui datent de 1498, alignées sur les deux côtés du porche sous leurs dais gothiques; saint Herbot est représenté, les pieds entourés de feuillages et tenant un livre à la main au-dessus des deux portes jumelées. Sur la façade du porche, un cadran solaire en schiste de 1587. Armes et hermines de Bretagne y sont aussi sculptées. Le portail principal, côté ouest, présente une double porte en anse de panier, qui date du ; le côté nord possède une autre porte à laquelle on accède par un escalier extérieur daté du . Le chevet a été refait en 1615 et est percé de trois verrières de style gothique. La chapelle Sainte-Barbe est de 1545: elle est en saillie sur le côté sud de la tour du clocher. Une autre chapelle, côté sud-ouest, est dédiée à saint Yves. La tour, haute de , n'a jamais porté de flèche mais possède à son sommet une galerie flamboyante et, à chaque angle, des pinacles.

L'intérieur est remarquable par son chancel de style Renaissance bretonne avec ses putti, ses grotesques, ses masques. Le chancel est surmonté d'une poutre de gloire et entouré d'une clôture en bois de chêne de style Renaissance, surmontée d'une Crucifixion et il possède une frise de panneaux sculptés du  séparés par des cariatides représentant les douze Sibylles et les douze Apôtres. Les personnages sont vêtus à la mode de la Renaissance. De part et d'autre de la porte d'entrée du chancel qui donne accès au chœur, on voit encore les deux tables de granite sur lesquelles les éleveurs venaient déposer leurs offrandes et déposer du crin. Le chœur est orné de 15 stalles datées d'entre 1550 et 1570 et leurs miséricordes présentent des sculptures différentes. La maîtresse-vitre est le vitrail de la Passion (il date de 1566 et est dû au maître verrier Thomas Quemeneur), d'autres saint Yves et saint Laurent. La sacristie est du . Une pietà aux Anges polychrome en calcaire date du . Le gisant de saint Herbot, en granite et en ronde bosse, sur lequel le saint est représenté couché, les mains jointes, portant une longue barbe, un lion à ses pieds, et est flanqué de deux statues en bois polychrome de Notre-Dame de Bonne Nouvelle et saint Herbot représenté en abbé, avec une crosse dans la main droite et un livre dans la main gauche. Ce gisant garderait des ossements du saint, mais son chef, enchâssé dans un reliquaire en or, aurait été emporté par les Anglais lors de l'une de leurs incursions au  ou au . Toutefois, selon Prosper Mérimée, vers le milieu du , les ossements des morts de la paroisse étaient recueillis au bout d'un certain nombre d'années et déposés dans le reliquaire, qui aurait donc servi d'ossuaire.

La centrale hydro-électrique

Située en contrebas de l'ancienne cascade de Saint-Herbot (cette dernière avait une dénivellation de  et à côté se trouvait un moulin dont on voit encore les ruines) désormais asséchée en raison du canal de dérivation des eaux construit pour alimenter l'usine, sur la rivière Éllez, la centrale et les équipements annexes sont construits à partir de 1922-1923 par la "Société anonyme des forces motrices des monts d´Arrée", la mise en service datant de 1929. Désormais elle est exploitée par une filiale d'EDF, la SHEMA. L'usine a été construite par l'architecte Charles Chaussepied selon un style qui mêle le style néoroman à des éléments d'architecture régionale.

Le  à , l'usine électrique de Saint-Herbot est mitraillée par un avion portant la cocarde et la Croix de Lorraine. Seule la toiture de l'usine est endommagée. La même usine est à nouveau mitraillée le  vers . L'usine est à nouveau bombardée le  par deux avions, mais les bombes ne font que de légers dégâts.

Les écoles de Saint-Herbot

Saint-Herbot n'avait pas d'école et les enfants du hameau devaient faire cinq kilomètres pour se rendre à celle du bourg de Loqueffret. Lassés de cette situation, pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les habitants décidèrent de construire eux-mêmes une école sur un terrain donné par une habitante du village, extrayant les pierres d'une carrière voisine et les nombreux volontaires bâtirent eux-mêmes l'école. Les troupes allemandes d'occupation, victimes d'un vol de ciment, soupçonnèrent les responsables du chantier de ce vol, le prêtre fut même quelques jours emprisonné à Quimper avant de reconnaître leur erreur. Cette école privée catholique ouvrit après la guerre, sans doute en 1947 et resta ouverte jusqu'à l'année 1999-2000.

Une école laïque ouvrit par la suite pendant quelques années à Saint-Herbot

Autres monuments et sites
 À Plouguerneau, saint Herbot est représenté parmi les 40 Petits Saints qui sont en l'église et sont portés en procession lors de la troménie du 15 aout au Grouanec, au pardon de saint Michel, ainsi qu'à celui de Notre Dame du Folgoët.
 La maison des Carmes correspond à l'ancien prieuré du , reconverti en gite rural.
 Le manoir de Saint-Herbot est un manoir du , situé à une trentaine de mètres de l'église du même nom.
 La fête du beurre  (survivance des offrandes de beurre faites à saint Herbot) est organisée chaque quatrième dimanche de septembre dans le village. Elle présente la fabrication du beurre et du pain et des métiers d'antan.
 À proximité, sur le territoire de la commune de Loqueffret, se trouvent les ruines du château du Rusquec, où subsiste un manoir désormais propriété privée.
 Le chaos de Milin Mardoul sur la rivière Ellez (route de Saint-Herbot à Brennilis, tourner à droite avant l'entrée du village de Kermarc'h) offre un paysage pittoresque de chaos rocheux au milieu du lit de la rivière ; il a conservé ses deux vieux ponts à l'emplacement d'un ancien gué et des traces de rites sacrificiels d'une religion pré-chrétienne.
 Le Roc'h Begheor : du haut de ses , beau point de vue sur les Monts d'Arrée et les Montagnes Noires.

Livres

 Dans son roman Croc d'argent, publié en 1922, Charles Le Goffic parle à de nombreuses reprises de Saint-Herbot.
Dans une partie en vers du roman, il écrit :
 « J'évoque Saint-Herbot au pied de sa cascade,
 Le cancel dont un ange a ciselé l'arcade,
 La table aux crins, naïf hommage des pastours,
 Le Rusquec et ses bois, et sa vasque, et ses tours,
 Et le val d'Éllez, plein d'odorantes bouffées,
 Où l'on marche ébloui dans un conte de fée. »
 Dans un autre de ses romans, L'erreur de Florence, publié en 1903, le même Charles Le Goffic place son intrigue mélodramatique dans la région du Huelgoat et de Saint-Herbot.
 Au début de la décennie 1970, Xavier Grall, qui a participé à la fondation du journal nationaliste breton La Nation Bretonne, signe une partie de ses textes sous le pseudonyme de « Saint-Herbot ».

Just when you think it could not get any worse with the Benghazi negligent homicides and cover-up, the CIA spills the beans and exposes the liars for who they are. We now know the White House and State Dept both knew two hours after the attack an Al Queda group named Ansar Al-Sharia attacked the compound on 911 at around 9:11 PM and emails came from the Tripoli Embassy detailing the attack. Within two hours of the attack Ansar Al-Sharia claimed credit for the attack and at that time the Ambassador was either dead or soon to be raped and killed. The Administration then invented an absurd lie about a video and promoted the lie that it was America's fault for three weeks.
Everyone with half a brain could figure out this was not a spontaneous Arab Spring riot about their precious Mohamhead; this was an attack on America and Obama. You would have to be either braindead or a member of Pravda or both like Spitball Mathews to carry these lies to the people to further your pathetic careers. To ignore the obvious discrepancies which were glaring from day one beginning with the date makes you as guilty as those who began this charade on America. When the President swears to bring those guilty of this horrific crime to justice he should begin by looking in the mirror. He is as guilty as the terrorists who carried out this terrorist act since they were doing what terrorists do just as he is doing what corrupt lying dictators do.
This crime makes Richard Nixon look like a choirboy since his crime was simply a third rate break-in when this was covering up negligent homicide. Here is the same hypocrite who was always crowing about Bush lying and covering up who is willing to promote such an obvious lie as this. To imagine all of those times he lectured us about our intolerance of this peaceful religion and needing to condemn these movies while he was knowingly promoting a lie. He knew within two hours this was a terrorist attack by Ansar Al-Sharia and he and Hilary concocted this story then went on the Sunday talk shows, press conferences and the United Nations assembly repeating it and declaring it had nothing to do with terrorism. What kind of two bit dictator tries this type of stunt? What kind of media reports it without question?
The reason he did this is due to his weakness on terrorism. He has bent over backwards to never call terrorism what it is so this is the final step exposing his duplicity with Islamic terrorists. He and the DNC know if America begins to question their safety and need someone to stand up to terrorists their days are over so they made up this intolerance story. It played into their hand and his lectures on the ignorance and intolerance of Islam by America so he likely believed he could buy enough time to get past the election. Once the election was over there would be nothing anybody could do to him and with allies like Chris Mathews and PravdABDNC he had a better than even chance of making his lie stick.
The larger issue is the guilt and corruption of the press. It is willing to do anything to further their communist agenda and this is another shining example of promoting a lie that every one of them had to know it was. They all have contacts inside the agencies and had to know the truth or had a strong indication of the truth yet they carried his water like the good little criminals they are. None of these Columbia and Harvard graduates cares one iota about the four Americans who fought for their lives against savages who wanted to do the most sadistic tortures known to man before they killed them. We don't even know how they were killed or if they were castrated before they were raped and strangled.
After Hillary and Rice resign and Obama/Biden thrown out of office there should be a demand for Chris Mathews and his corrupt fellow reporters to turn in their resignations too. There is a place for a fair and open media but we haven't had one for nearly fifty years. The hacks we have now are nothing but campaign managers for the Party and have no use for the truth and now will ignore all objectivity to promote this Obamonation. Where are the questions of why the attack and was the rumors of trying to buy back the weapons used for the Libyan overthrow correct? Were there anti-aircraft weapons and was that why we couldn't send our helicopters or jets? Where did those high accuracy mortars come from and are there stingers out there now in terrorist hands? Why isn't the press axing those obvious questions?
There needs to be a thorough cleaning of our media since they are an extension of the problems which exist in the District of Corruption. Outside of FOX there is no curiosity for the truth with this scandal. Hilary needs to resign yesterday along with Secretary Rice. For Hilary to lie in front of those coffins and grieving families is not only inexcusable politically it is a disgrace to those families, America and her office. Who can imagine the anguish of the families knowing your dead husbands, fathers and sons were being used as political props to promote a lie and get votes. Unconscionable doesn't begin to express her disgusting behavior.
When this is finally settled and we know exactly what happened and who were at fault, the villains are going to be the administration and the fawning reporters. These two bit scribes were not only negligent but had a purpose for their corruption. The heroes of course were the ex-Navy Seals who fought against impossible odds and the alternative media. If not for talk radio and the internet this story would be swept under the rug while we would still be persecuting the maker of the video. Rather they stayed on the story and exposed the obvious gaps in this insane story and drove stakes though those holes keeping the story alive and exposing the truth. FOX news stayed with the scandal after they were lied to by Rice and now are really revealing the entire scandal for the entire country to see. Now it will be a miracle if Hilary survives the week and we can watch Chris Mathews and Pravda in their death throes. If the President had a shred of dignity left after this disgraceful charade he would take the Nixon walk out to Marine One and give America a farewell salute.


A new NDIS Worker Check will be introduced in NSW from 1 July 2019. Until then, transitional NDIS worker screening arrangements are in place in NSW. This factsheet is to help NDIS providers and workers understand these requirements.
The NDIS Quality and Safeguards Commission is responsible for national worker screening policy and design, and for ensuring providers comply with worker screening requirements. Read more about national worker screening at www.ndiscommission.gov.au.
Providers should familiarise themselves with the requirements set out in the National Disability Insurance Scheme Act 2013 (Commonwealth) and the related National Disability Insurance Scheme (Practice Standards-Worker Screening) Rules 2018.
Providers are responsible for determining which of their workers need a clearance, making sure they obtain a clearance and record keeping in relation to this.
NSW will undertake the screening of those workers that need a clearance once the new NDIS Worker Check comes into effect from 1 July 2019. More detail about the new check and the process for phasing providers into this will be available closer to the time.

Exploring the South Downs it's not long before you come across dew ponds. Completely round, man made water reservoirs, they have been features of the area for hundreds of years as a source of water for cattle and sheep. Lined with chalk, they stand out in the landscape as a geometric anomaly in a similar way to a plantation of trees, whose serried ranks are often at odds with their wilder surroundings.
I came across this dew pond en route to Ditchling on a misty February morning. My first attempt to paint it was scuppered as drizzle set in and the image dripped off the paper. The next day was set fair and I came away with this.


Lauryn Sasso has spent the last seven years helping Asolo Repertory Theatre audiences and actors better connect with the shows and characters on stage.
As the Literary Manager and dramaturg, she organizes discussions and post-show talkbacks, interviews designers and directors for program notes and researches historical information and perspective for actors and directors.
"Dramaturg" is one of those job titles — like a gaffer on a film set — that leave audiences scratching their heads.
They first have to know what she does.
"Sometimes, it's like being a cultural counselor for the theater, anything where there is a way of putting shows in context, outreach with the audience. That's where I come in," she said over coffee.
Most of her job involves what she calls "production dramaturgy," where she's helping to build the theater's connections with the audience, as well as the cast and crews working on particular shows. Before each show, she'll prepare notebooks of historic references that may help an actor better understand lines or actions in the play.
During the annual Unplugged new play reading series, she gets to focus a bit on "new play dramaturgy" where she works with the playwrights to help them find the best way to tell their stories.
You can find as many definitions as there are theaters or people working as dramaturgs.
Sasso, 35, is often the first person on the Asolo Rep staff to read scripts of plays under consideration (as well as submissions from playwrights hoping to find a theater interested in unpublished works).
The months leading up to the start of a new season are often the busiest for Sasso, who does a lot of advance research to be ready for when directors, designers and actors start to work.
She added to her duties this season by working with director Dmitry Troyanovsky as co-adapter of "Romeo and Juliet" for the Asolo Rep's New Stages tour, which will be seen by roughly 18,000 middle and high school students across the state this fall.
It fits the job description of trying to find ways to help audiences connect with the theater.
She and Troyanovsky spent months whittling down the script, reducing the number of characters from 34 to 13, but maintaining the essence of the romantic drama to provide these students with what may be their first exposure to Shakespeare and the play.
Two casts will criss-cross the state with this new version. Team Montague, led by Jefferson McDonald as Romeo and Lucy Lavely as Juliet, has a cast of five, while the six-person Team Capulet features Ben Williamson as Romeo and Kristen Lynn Blossom as Juliet.
That is why the play remains relevant centuries after it was written, especially to young people facing all sorts of new experiences and decisions in their lives, she said.
Each cast will perform Oct. 3 in the Cook Theatre in the FSU Center. One cast also will perform for the public Oct. 9 at the Glenridge Performing Arts Center.
The project is an extension of the dramaturgical work she has done for Troyanovsky's productions of "Antigone Now," "Hamlet" and last year's "Macbeth" in the last few years.
Considering her study of gender roles in Shakespeare, she even more greatly appreciates the way gender lines have been crossed in this new version, with men playing women's roles and vice versa, or a character's gender being changed because of the actor playing the part.
Sasso joined Asolo Rep shortly after the arrival of Michael Donald Edwards as producing artistic director, and he said she has become an essential part of the creative team.
She certainly was disappointed at first.
She eventually realized how natural a fit the job is for her personality and background.
She was always a reader and a writer (her father is an editor and arts critic for a Rhode Island magazine), and she asks a lot of questions, which is important in all aspects of her job.
By asking such questions, she can help writers and directors focus their attention on making scenes or whole plays stronger.
Considering her love for Shakespeare, Sasso said her work with Edwards on a 2012 bilingual version of "Hamlet, Prince of Cuba" has been one of the highlights of her career. Several performances were presented in Spanish, with the same cast of actors.
They spent about two years working on the project with Cuban-born playwright Nilo Cruz, who wrote the Spanish translation.
There have been other high points, including last year's musical "1776," directed by Frank Galati, who restaged it this month with a slightly different cast for ACT in San Francisco.
"That was great for the history buff in me. It was a delight to revisit that early American time period. I love that period in American history," she said.
This season, she's looking forward to working again with Galati on Brian Friel's 1964 play "Philadelphia, Here I Come," about a young Irish man who makes a difficult decision to leave his family and move to the United States for new opportunities.
