Greg Haugen's New Company Promotes First Show
by Guest Writer on Apr.12, 2010, under Boxing News, Guest Columnists
His Son Stopped on the Undercard
By Ricardo Ibarra
Former world lightweight champion and one of the best fighter ever to come out of the Pacific Northwest, Greg "The Mutt" Haugen, made his first foray into the promotional side of the boxing business under the banner Haugen-Cintron-Canin Promotions last Saturday night at the Vision Quest Sports and Fitness in Auburn, Washington. Presenting a stacked seven bout card, Haugen and company put on a highly entertaining, well matched show with seven quality fights featuring some of the best young fighters in the region
In the main event, unbeaten heavyweight Jonte Willis (6-0 3KOs 207 ½ lbs.) scored a third round TKO over Corey Williams (4-10-2 2KOs 268 lbs.). Willis, who hails from Tacoma, Washington, had been on hiatus for over a year but did not show any obvious signs of ring rust. He quickly went to work in the first round, unloading thudding jabs and digging in to the body with hard right hooks. Williams, of Denver, Colorado, fired back gamely but failed to land anything of consequence.
In the second round Willis stepped up his aggression and stunned Williams with a hard left hook to the temple. Late in the round a barrage of hooks to the body forced Williams to the canvas. Willis would drop his opponent two more times in the third round before the corner threw in the towel, retiring from the bout at 2:15 of the third round.
In a four round lightweight rematch, Seattle's Francisco "Paco" Reyes (5-0, 2KOs, 1361/2 lbs.) faced off with Ben Metts (1-2, 1KO, 138 lbs.) of Portland, Oregon. The two had fought in '08 in a closely contested bout that ended in a no contest after an accidental head-butt caused a large gash over the eye of Metts.
In the return bout both fighters got off to an aggressive start, stepping in behind quick jabs, trying to find an opening for their power shots. It was Reyes who found that opening first, stunning Metts with a right-left hook combination. Metts fired back off the ropes, landing his own share of power shots, but Reyes maintained control in the round with the more accurate combinations. In the second round Reyes stepped up his aggression and took control of the bout with an effective one-two. Using his quicker hands and tricky defense, Reyes out landed his opponent with measured aggression.
In the third, Reyes dropped his opponent with a long right hand. Although the punch was a cleanly landed blow, Metts did not appear hurt and seemed to have been caught off-balance. There were some heated exchanges between the two throughout the bout, but Reyes continued to control the fight down the stretch with the quicker and more accurate shots. The final scores read 40-35, 40-35, and 39-36.
In a close six round welterweight bout, Escondido, California's Dashon Johnson (9-2-3, 3KOs, 146 ½ lbs.) and Portland's Mike Lucero (12-15-2, 4KOs, 142 ½ lbs.) fought to a majority draw. For the first three rounds Johnson used his lateral movement and quick combination punching to easily pepper the shorter Lucero from the outside as Lucero pressed forward. While Lucero clearly lost those first three rounds, he maintained a constant attack to the body, looking to wear down the mobile Johnson.
In the fourth round that attack began to pay off as Johnson slowed and chose to stand and trade instead of moving and firing from the outside. This allowed for Lucero to step in close and land. Lucero dished out a flurry of aggression in the round, digging to the body and head with clean, hard punches.
Johnson appeared to regain control in the fifth as he brought the fight back out to a range that suited his longer reach. Using angles to avoid Lucero's attack, Johnson found a home for his counter right and easily kept Lucero on the end of his punches.
In the sixth, though, Johnson fell back into trading with Lucero and gave him the opportunities he needed to make the fight a close one on the cards. The official scores read 58-56 for Johnson, 57-57, and 57-57.
Brady Haugen (0-1, 143 lbs.), son of Greg Haugen, made his professional debut on the card. Unfortunately for him it was not a successful entrance into the paid ranks. Haugen, who had a very limited amateur career, came into the fight with an aggressive zeal, bouncing on his toes and easily popping his opponent, Aaron Schupp (1-0, 1KO, 141 ½ lbs.), of Salem, Oregon, with solid right crosses and left hooks. He easily controlled the first two minutes of the first round, but in the last minute Schupp, who was the taller man, began to land hard power shots, badly bloodying the nose of Haugen.
In the second round Haugen seemed like a different fighter. Seemingly losing his confidence and visibly exhausted, he was unable to close the gap and land as he had in the first round. Schupp stayed on the outside at the perfect range to land his one-two with ease. By the end of the round Schupp was battering Haugen around the ring. In between rounds the corner made the correct call and stopped the bout.
Aubrey Morrow (3-1 3KOs, 166 lbs.), of Qualicum Beach, BC and Eddie Hunter (3-3-1, 1KO, 160 ½ lbs.) of Seattle, Washington, gave local fans an entertaining and close four round middleweight fight. Hunter took an early lead seconds into the fight as a counter right hand caught Morrow stepping in, dropping him for a mandatory eight count. Morrow was up fairly quickly and did not appear to be baldy hurt by the punch, but the shot gave Hunter an early lead he built on by jabbing and moving.
In the second round Morrow pressed the fight, stepping in close and unloading with thudding shots to the body. The third and forth rounds were very close and active rounds as both fighters had their moments, trading momentum and trading heavy shots. Hunter found success with looping overhand rights while Morrow tenaciously pressed his attack to the body. All three judges scored the bout 38-37 for Hunter.
Tacoma, Washington's Mike Gavronski (2-0 2KOs, 162 ½ lbs.) added his second win as a pro with a second round stoppage of Michael Birthmark (1-5, 161 lbs.). Gavronski came out swinging from the sound of the first bell, catching his opponent with hard right hands, repeatedly buckling his knees. His aggression quickly got wild, though, and allowed Birthmark to get in a few shots of his own, forcing Gavronski to back off momentarily. In the second round Gavronski adopted a more methodical approach, working behind his jab before opening up with power shots. A right to the chin dropped Birthmark for a mandatory eight-count. Birthmark made it up before eight, but he was visibly hurt. Gavronski quickly stepped in and began to tee off, sapping back the head of Birthmark on numerous occasions. The corner of Birthmark mercifully stepped onto the ring apron, forcing the referee to stop the fight at 1:58 of the second round.
In the best fight of the night, Jose Gomez (2-4, 128 lbs.) and Rob Diezel (1-1, 129 lbs.) engaged in four back and forth, action packed rounds. From the outset these two young fighters stepped into the pocket and began to unload on each other with blistering combinations. The two fought on mostly even terms throughout the fight, maintaining a blistering pace. Diezel scored a knockdown in the first and went on to slightly edge out the second round with an effective left hook. Gomez came on late and seemed to take a slight edge in the last two rounds with his right hand, hurting Diezel in the third. In the end the three judges were split with one judge scoring the bout 38-36 for Gomez and two scoring it 38-36 for Diezel.
Haugen-Cintron-Canin Promotions will hold their next even May 29 at The Soccer Center in Tacoma, Washington. For more information visit www.HCCpromotions.com

Our Iowa Heritage: A Rocky Mountain Mayor with Strong Iowa Roots.
David Newton Heizer – Iowa Farm Boy – Civil War Veteran – Founding Citizen in Kansas, and Mayor of Colorado Springs.
(C-0207-C-0210) In January 2021, I purchased these 4 Iowa City postmarked covers from an Ebay dealer. As I did research on them, I found a great deal of info about the Iowan the letters were addressed to: David Newton Heizer of Kossuth (near Mediapolis in Des Moines County). A few weeks later, that same Ebay dealer offered me 63 more covers related to Heizer. The price was right (less than 50-cents per cover) so I got 'em and here's the complete collection. 67 covers – ranging over thirty years – one interesting story. Enjoy!
Whenever I obtain a new postal cover (in this case, a whole slew of covers from one family living during the second half of the nineteenth century), I always try to dig up, if I can, more information about those people who sent and received these letters. It never ceases to amaze me of the full, rich stories that so often come from these now-empty envelopes. Brave men and women, much like my Boller ancestors, who risked it all to start a whole new life here in the wild, untamed west called Iowa.
So it is with David Newton Heizer and his family from Kossuth, Iowa. In my research I found a wealth of information. So let me begin, first and foremost, with David's own account of his earliest years…
I was born November 11, 1846, in Ross County, Ohio. I belonged to a race of pioneers; my great-grandfather, Samuel Heizer, was a pioneer in Virginia when the Blue Ridge Mountains marked the line of the frontier, and lived there at the time of the Revolution. My grand-father, Samuel Heizer, was a pioneer in Ohio and moved from Virginia to Ross County in 1816. My father, Edward Heizer, and his brothers all moved to Iowa on the admission of Iowa as a state into the Union, and a part of them before. I was raised on an Iowa farm fifteen miles north of Burlington until I was seventeen years of age.
As David states, we know there were six Heizer brothers and two Heizer sisters who came west to Iowa, one of which was Edward Heizer, David's father. J. W. Merrill, an early historian from the Burlington area, records this:
There were three brothers (Fredrick, Nathaniel and Joshua Heizer) who came with the immigration of 1842. They came here in the fall of the year and settled on farms. Nathaniel purchased his home of David Rankin, and settled on round prairie. Frederick settled on land now owned by Hope Eland, just north of the M. J. Seeds farm. Joshua made his home on the farm he owned for many years, south of Northfield. These three were born in Virginia but came to Ohio when boys, with their parents. There were three other brothers, born in Ohio, who came later — Edward, Samuel and Henry. They grew to manhood in Ohio and all but one (Henry) married before they came west. They brought their families with them, and commenced life as pioneers. They were Presbyterians and their influence added strength to the young church that was being built up in Kossuth.
Kossuth, Iowa (like Kossuth County in north-central Iowa) is named for the famed Hungarian lawyer, journalist, and statesman, Lajos Kossuth. Horace Greeley said of this European hero, "Among the orators, patriots, statesmen, exiles, he has, living or dead, no superior," and Kossuth's powerful speeches of the 1840's impressed so many Americans, the orator Daniel Webster wrote a book about this freedom-fighter's life.
Now, back to Edward Heizer's oldest son, David N. Heizer of Kossuth, Iowa…
David grew up working on his father's farm, but always had an eye on education. When the Civil War broke out in 1861, David was attending school at Yellow Springs College, a local training academy in Yellow Springs township of Des Moines County. In his words…
(In 1863) I enlisted in the latter part of the civil war in Company "M" Second Iowa Cavalry, and served eighteen months of active service and was mustered out at the close of the war at Selma, Alabama (1865).
Historical Civil War records give us these details:
Heizer, David N. Age 17. Resident of Des Moines County, native of Ohio. Enlisted & mustered into Company M of the Second Iowa Calvary on March 29, 1864 and mustered out Sept. 19, 1865, in Selma, Alabama.
March – December 1864: After resting a short time, the regiment marched to Memphis and went into camp there. Major Coon and General Grierson now made a special effort to induce the men to re-enlist for another term of three years, or during the war. These officers were very popular with the regiment, and their efforts resulted in the re-enlistment of a sufficient number of men to entitle the regiment to the designation of a veteran organization.
The re-enlisted men were again mustered into the service on the 28th of March, 1864, and, from that date, the regiment had the new title of Second Iowa Veteran Cavalry Volunteers. The aggregate strength of the regiment at this time was 1,088, of which number 45 were commissioned officers, 360 re-enlisted veterans and 683 non-veterans and recruits. The re-enlisted men were granted a furlough of thirty days, to begin from the time they arrived at Davenport, Iowa. They embarked on steamer at Memphis, April 7, 1864. Upon reaching Davenport they were accorded an enthusiastic reception. They then received their furloughs and departed for their respective homes. On the 15th of May they reassembled at Davenport and, on the 17th, departed for St. Louis. In the meantime Colonel Hatch had been promoted to Brigadier General, Major Coon succeeding him as Colonel of the regiment and Captains Horton, Schnitger and Moore had become Battalion Majors. At St. Louis the veterans were supplied with horses and then proceeded to Memphis, where they arrived on the 29th of May and rejoined the non-veterans and recruits, who had, in the meantime, been performing garrison duty at Fort Pickering, under command of Lieutenant Colonel Hepburn. Here the regiment was supplied with the latest improved arms, Spencers' seven- shooting carbines, at that time considered the most effective cavalry arm in the service.
Another active and aggressive campaign was now about to begin. The rebel General Forrest had captured Fort Pillow and won a victory over the troops commanded by General Sturgis. Emboldened by these successes, Forrest had established his headquarters at Tupelo, Miss., where he was daily augmenting his forces and bidding defiance to any force that might be sent against him. General A. J. Smith was ordered to Memphis to take command of the Union forces there and to proceed against Forrest. The Second Iowa Cavalry now belonged to the cavalry division commanded by General B. B Grierson, its own Colonel, D. E. Coon, being in command of the brigade to which his regiment was attached, while the regiment was under the command of Major C. C. Horton, whose series of admirable official reports describe with great particularity of detail all the movements and operations of the regiment from the day he became its commander to the close of the year 1864. Appended to these reports are the lists of casualties sustained during the period embraced, showing how the regiment had fought and suffered during the campaign. The principal engagements in which the regiment took part, and included in Major Horton's reports, are here given in the order in which they occurred: Tupelo, Miss., Ripley, Miss., Pontotoc, Miss., Oxford, Miss., Hurricane Creek Miss., Shoal Creek, Ala., Aberdeen, Ala., Butler Creek, Ala., Lawrenceburg, Tenn., Campbellville, Tenn., Linville, Tenn., Mount Carmel, Tenn., and near Franklin, Tenn.
On December 2, 1864, the regiment, with its brigade and division, fell back to Nashville, crossed the Cumberland River and went into camp at Edgefield, to which place the tents and knapsacks had been forwarded. The men were very glad to again have these equipments, having been deprived of them since leaving their camp at Whitens Station in September. In the meantime they had bivouacked in the open field. with no protection save that afforded by the army blanket. The weather had now become intensely cold and the men suffered very greatly. It was evident that another desperate struggle was now impending and could not long be delayed. The opposing armies of Generals Thomas and Hood were constantly employed in fortifying the positions they occupied, that of Thomas being along a chain of hills encircling the city of Nashville, and that of Hood along another chain of hills from one to four miles distant from that city. General Thomas, after making every preparation to meet the threatened attack finally determined to assume the offensive and made the necessary disposition of his troops for the purpose of assaulting the enemy along the entire line of his works. The cavalry division, commanded by General Hatch, was ordered to recross the Cumberland River on the 12th of December, and was assigned to a position on the right of General A. J. Smith's Corps. Everything being in readiness, the advance was ordered on the morning of December 15, 1864, and the result of the tremendous struggle which ensued went far towards the complete overthrow of the so-called Confederate Government and the restoration of peace. It was the greatest battle in which the Second Iowa Cavalry participated and the one in which the regiment won its highest honors.
(C-0207) Postmarked in Iowa City on March 14, 1865 to D. N. Heizer Co. M 2nd Iowa Cav. via Cairo, Ill.
(C-0207) This was recorded at a later date by one of David's children: "Received by Dad in March of 1865 when he was in Co. M 2nd Iowa Calvary during the Civil War. I think that Dad's cousin Lou Fuller wrote it."
January – September 1865: The regiment, with its brigade and division arrived at Eastport, Miss., January 11, 1865, and went into winter quarters at that place. On the 19th of February, Major Schnitger, with four hundred men from the Second Iowa and Ninth Illinois Cavalry, conducted a successful expedition against a force of cavalry under command of the rebel General Roddy, returning to camp with a large number of prisoners, most of whom were found hiding in the woods, they having deserted the rebel commander, who continued to retreat with the remainder of his force and made good his escape. During the remainder of the winter the regiment was not called upon for active duty as the war was practically ended. During the spring and summer of 1865 the operations of the regiment extended over a considerable territory in the northern sections of Alabama and Mississippi, but these operations were more in the nature of a pacific than hostile character, the real necessity for the retention of troops in the Southern States during this period being for the purpose of maintaining order, and assisting in the readjustment of the functions of civil government. Early in the month of September, the Veteran Second Iowa Cavalry was ordered to proceed to Selma, Ala., at which place, on the 19th day of September, 1865, it was mustered out of the service of the United States. It was then provided with transportation to Davenport, Iowa, and, upon arriving there, was disbanded, and the officers and men returned to their respective homes.
1865 – Home Again in Iowa.
In his biography, David states: On returning home, I spent a year on the old home farm and during the next five years, spent the greater part of the time taking a course in the Iowa State University and in teaching school.

University of Iowa (SUI) records from 1871 show David, and his cousin, Cyrus, attending classes in Iowa City between 1869 and 1871.
From the 1869-1870 school year.
1870-1871 Falling in Love with a Pastor's Daughter.
In our collection, we have several postal covers (below) that indicate during these "school" years (1869-1871) David began a relationship with Emilie (Emma) Caroline McCaughan, a pastor's daughter from Winterset, Iowa (Madison County).
Kossuth (Mediapolis) to Winterset. Did Emma & David meet at SUI in Iowa City?
(C-0219) Circa 1870-1871 – David is writing Emma McCaughan in Winterset from Iowa City (1870?), and after moving to Kansas (postmarked in Ellsworth) in 1871.
(C-0220) Circa 1870-1871 – Emma (in Winterset) is writing letters to David while he is in Kossuth and Iowa City.
Go West – Dave Heizer – Go West.
Fort Zarah (Barton County) Kansas. A Kansas Historical Marker located on the grounds of the park called Fort Zarah Park reads: "In 1825 The Federal Government surveyed the Santa Fe Trail great trade route from Western Missouri to Santa Fe. Treaties with the Kansas and Osage Indians safeguarded the Eastern end of the road but Plains tribes continued to make raids. Fort Zarah at this point was one of a chain of forts built on the trail to protect wagon trains and guard settlers. It was established in 1864 by Gen. Samuel R. Curtis and named for his son, Maj. H. Zarah Curtis, who had been killed in the Baxter Springs Massacre Oct. 6, 1863. The fort was built of sandstone quarried in nearby bluffs. Fort Zarah was successfully defended against an attack by 100 Kiowas on Oct. 2, 1868. It was abandoned in 1869."
On February 24, 1871, an act of Congress provided for bringing into market the lands of the Fort Zarah Reservation in central Kansas. David, as a Civil War veteran and two-year graduate at SUI, took advantage of this low-cost land being offered to vets, becoming a pioneer in Barton County, moving to Ft. Zarah in the spring of 1871.
Once again, here's how David described it…
In May, 1871, within two days after our arrival at Ft. Zarah (Kansas), Dr. John Prescott, W. W. Weymouth, Wm. Finn, Captain Griffin and myself, organized the Zarah Town Company. Dr. John Prescott was elected president, D. N. Heizer secretary and W. W. Weymouth treasurer. We were all directors. We at once proceeded to select a location for our town and decided on the west fractional half of section 26, township 19, range 13. William Finn, who had a transit and surveyor's chain with him, directed the survey and we staked out a street running north and south, as I remember, for about two blocks, a row of blocks on either side of the street. This was not intended to be a complete survey, but only such a survey as would enable us to make filing on this land under the Townsite-Preemption Act, as in force at that time. Mr. W. W. Weymouth and Dr. John Prescott were supposed to be the heavy capitalists in this enterprise and the next day after the survey were taken by me to Ellsworth, they took the train for their respective homes. Mr. Weymouth to Springfield, Ohio, and Dr. Prescott to Meridan, Miss., both with the avowed determination of arranging their business as speedily as possible, to return with their families for settlement and to develop the new town.
(C-0221) (C-0218a) Circa 1871-1872 – Numerous postal covers to David in Ft. Zarah from Xenia & Cedarville, Ohio (near Springfield) and Enterprise, Mississippi (near Meridian). We are assuming these many letters are from W.W. Weymouth (Ohio) and Dr. John Prescott (Mississippi) during the transition time David mentions in his biographic material (above).
(C-0222) Circa 1871-1872 – Here's more postal covers to David in Ft. Zarah from Xenia, Ohio (near Springfield). Again we assume these many letters are from W.W. Weymouth (Ohio) during the transition time David mentions in his biographic material.
(C-0228) Circa 1871-1872 – Here's an interesting cover to David postmarked in Ellsworth but going to him in Manhattan, KS. Possibly while he was "on the road" back to Iowa?
1871-1872 Keeping the Love Going from Zarah to Great Bend.
Great Bend/Zarah is 50+ miles from Ellsworth. When David first moved to Ft. Zarah in 1871, the nearest railroad was 150 miles away (Topeka) and he traveled 56 miles to get his mail (Ellsworth).
(C-0223) Circa 1871-1872 – Emma continued to write to David, as well, after he moved out west.
(C-0218b) Circa 1871-1872 – More letters from Emma!
1872 – When the Santa Fe Railroad bypassed Zarah, running through nearby Great Bend instead, most Zarah residents, including David, threw in the towel and put their attention toward Great Bend, a new community on the Arkansas River. As you can see from this report, David was elected Probate Judge for Barton County in July 1872, and other records show, he eventually became Mayor as well.
1872 – David & Emma – A Great Bend Wedding.
David & Emma
Emilie (Emma) Caroline McCaughan and David Newton Heizer married, in Great Bend, in 1872. They lived there until moving to Colorado in the 1890's.
(C-0224) Circa late-1870's – David & Emma had three children while living in Great Bend – Frances (1875), Dell (1877), Charles (1880?). Here's a note to Frankie & Dell (from Mom when she was in Winterset)?
Here's an interesting fact. In 1886, David was involved with the first exploration of oil in Barton County, Kansas.
(C-0225) Circa late-1880's – Here's a self-addressed stamped envelope (i.e. a party invitation?) sent out by Mr. & Mrs. D.N. Heizer to friends in Great Bend.
(C-0226) Circa 1890-1892 – Postal covers from Emma's parents (Rev Charles and Emily McCaughan) of Winterset, Iowa to the family in Great Bend.
(C-0227) 1891 – According to his biography, David became the Railroad Commissioner for Kansas in 1873 and after that worked for the Santa Fe Railroad. I'm guessing this cover (from Emma's family in Winterset) was sent to a temporary residence in Topeka in 1891.
In the 1890's, David moved his family to Colorado, settling in the Colorado Springs area. By 1907, David was elected mayor of the city!
(C-0229) (C-0218c-d) Circa 1893-1894 – a large collection of covers from family in Winterset and Great Bend, addressed to the Heizer family in Cascade and Colorado Springs, their final destination in life.
Below is a biographical sketch found in The Semi-Centennial History of the State of Colorado (1913)…
Emilie (Emma) McCaughan Heizer (born Feb 9, 1847) died Sept 12, 1920 at age 73. David Newton Heizer (born Nov 11, 1846) died on March 27, 1932 at age 85. Both are buried at Evergreen Cemetery in Colorado Springs.
All in all, I'd say not too bad for a farm boy from Kossuth, Iowa! Don't you think?
On an interesting side-note: Because of our link to Find-A-Grave, we were contacted in July 2021 by a dear lady, and fellow historian, Mary Stanulonis of Colorado Springs. Turns out Mary & her husband live in the 1896 home of David & Emilie Heizer.
In her research, she's uncovered some stock certificates signed by Heizer, as president of an investment company – Cripple Creek and Spearfish mines. They have completely restored the home and have placed these two historical plaques on the front door! Beautiful! Thanks, Mary, for continuing the Heizer story!

MARION — Northmor beat Elgin on Saturday in a low-scoring Mid-Ohio Athletic Conference Blue Division game, 47-30.
The Knights improve to 13-5 overall and 8-3 in the MOAC Blue, while the Comets drop to 6-11 and 3-y.
Elgin would actually lead the contest after one quarter of play, 11-10. Northmor would allow another 11 points in the second but would put up 15 points on the offensive end to go up 25-22 at the half. The Golden Knights would tighten up their defense in the second half, allowing just two points in the third and six in the final quarter on their way to the 17-point win.
Brock Pletcher finished the contest with 11 points, five rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block for Northmor. Meechie Johnson was in double figures with 10 points to go with four assists and three steals. Kyle Kegley scored nine points, grabbed nine boards and swatted away six shots against the Comets. Tyler Kegley also scored nine on the night. Alijah Keen contributed seven points in the victory and Zach Parrott hit just one free throw to wrap the Golden Knights' scoring.
Northmor would shoot 18/37 from the field against Elgin but would continue to struggle from the free-throw line at 8/14. As a team, the Knights grabbed 25 rebounds, dished out eight assists, recorded 11 steals and seven blocks and turned the ball over just 10 times.
Peyton Hatzenbuehler was the only Comets' player in double digits against the tenacious Northmor defense, scoring 16 points for the contest.
The Golden Knights will be on the road on Tuesday Feb. 7 to play the Lucas Cubs in non-league action. On Friday Feb. 10, they will host conference foe, the Fredericktown Freddies.


Diabetes is known to have a major impact on the entire body including the gums and teeth. People with uncontrolled or poorly controlled diabetes are more likely to develop cavities and gum disease or gingivitis which can lead to periodontitis which in turn can cause premature tooth loss. A study conducted by the researchers from the University of Edinburgh and supported by their colleagues from the Peninsula Dental School, the University of Ottawa and UCL Eastman Dental Institute has shown that relation between oral health and blood sugar levels works both ways. Even more, their study reveals that treatment of periodontal disease helps lower blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes type 2.
Diabetics are more likely to develop serious gum disease or periodontitis due to increased susceptibility to infections, impaired ability to fight bacteria invading the gums and slow healing rate. Periodontitis has been also shown to increase blood sugar levels making diabetes more difficult to control. This is believed to be due to chemical changes that are caused by the bacteria in the mouth which results in lesser insulin effectiveness and ultimately, in greater difficulties controlling blood sugar levels. Treatment and prevention of periodontitis as well as maintenance of oral health therefore helps blood sugar control in diabetics. This has been also confirmed by the results of the study from the University of Edinburgh which implies that effective treatment of serious gum disease helps control blood sugar levels in patients with diabetes type 2 though they could not confirm the same benefits for people suffering from diabetes type 1.
Blood sugar level control is crucial for prevention of diabetes complications including cardiovascular disease, kidney damage, eye damage, bone and joint problems as well as series of other potentially serious complications which can severely affect the patient's quality of life and even lead to premature death. Maintenance of oral health should be therefore taken as seriously as healthy body weight maintenance, healthy diet, regular exercise, monitoring blood sugar levels and taking medications as prescribed. The importance of oral health maintenance for blood sugar level control also emphasize many leading health experts and organizations such as the world-renowned Mayo Clinic.
People suffering from either diabetes type 2 or type 1 can only benefit from maintenance of oral health. The latter in first place bases on clean teeth and for that reason you should start with regular tooth brushing. Brush your teeth at least twice a day and even better, after every meal and snack. Learn proper brushing and flossing techniques and replace your toothbrush every three months or sooner. Avoid vigorous brushing and use a soft-bristled toothbrush to prevent irritating your gums. Just as important as brushing is flossing because it is impossible to reach between the teeth with a toothbrush properly. It is also helpful to use an antimicrobial mouth rinse without alcohol and get regular dental cleanings and check-ups. See you dentists for regular checkups at least twice a year and watch for signs of oral health problems, especially of gum disease – redness, swelling and bleeding gums.


Today we taught Evie how to walk without pulling. She gets very distracted by the environment, but by using a high rate of reinforcement we kept her focus on us which resulted in a nice walk for the first time.
Today we taught Luna how to Leave It. We even practiced with her favorite thing to steal: socks! We then took her for a short walk to help desensitize her to the environment and we used the Leave It cue when she tried to pick up things like mulch and it worked very well.
Today we taught King how to Drop It and Leave It. When I first dropped a piece of food on the floor he rushed over and ate it. By the end of our session when I dropped a piece of food on the floor he would immediately look up at me to see what to do next. Awesome job, King!

The Walking Dead: Season 3, Episode 12–Clear
"You will be torn apart, by teeth or bullets. You and your boy."
The luxury of a longer season this year allowed The Walking Dead to try something new this week – essentially a standalone episode (albeit still connected tangentially to the main plot) featuring only three of the regular characters and none of the regular settings. And, even in a show that's gone from strength to strength this year, it was a bit of a standout; focused, intense, allowing three very important characters room to breathe and grow, while still not stinting on the horror and the thrills. It also, surprisingly, dealt with a loose plot thread we might all have forgotten, one from way back in the show's first ever episode.
In a nutshell, this was an entire episode dealing with the quest for guns and ammunition mooted by Rick last week. Along for the ride, as proposed, were Michonne (to get a feel for how reliable she might be) and Carl (small, but hard enough to be backup in case Michonne proved to be as loose a cannon as Merle). In the course of this hour, all three got a chance to develop – even Rick, confronted by an old friend who was even more broken than he is.
That old friend turned out to be none other than Morgan Jones, played as before by Britain's own Lennie James. Together with Andrew Lincoln and David Morrissey, this show is plainly a victim of the current trend in Hollywood to make serious TV drama with British actors pretending to be American.
To be honest though, Morgan's return wasn't that much of a surprise once we'd established exactly where the trio had gone to look for weaponry – Rick's home town. This became clear as he searched the now empty police weapons locker, stating, "I used to be the police in this town", though eagle-eyed viewers with sharp memories might have picked up on the ubiquitous signage saying "King County".
It did make sense, as Rick knew where all the guns and ammo were in that town, but you had to wonder how small the circles were that he'd been moving in. I don't have much of a sense of Georgia geography, but the gang have been to Atlanta, then to Hershel's farm, then the prison (within walking distance, it seems, as is Woodbury), and now back to King County. Perhaps they might have better luck a little further afield, as that seems like a similar radius to, say, Kent.
Be that as it may, the trip there set the scene – and themes – for the episode. Michonne drove, sitting stony-faced and silent, as ever, while Carl fidgeted in the back and Rick looked grim in the passenger seat. Their determined ignorance of a frantic hitch-hiker showed us right away that (if we hadn't got it by now) Rick is no longer the compassionate, eager to help ex-cop. Survival is more important, and nobody is to be trusted.
Which makes it all the harder to understand his choice of vehicle. Honestly, in a post-apocalyptic landscape littered with wreckage, why is he driving that suspiciously clean Hyundai Tucson? Could it be that Hyundai have offered the show promotional consideration? And why didn't he at least get the four wheel drive version?
Still, the Hyundai's limitations gave rise to the first of several impressive set pieces throughout the hour, as it got bogged down in the mud trying to drive around a corpse-filled pileup. Walkers were soon all over the car; and it was a blackly amusing measure of how accustomed they all are to this that they just resignedly got on with the business of slaughter. We didn't even need to see the details onscreen; we can take it as read now that Rick, Michonne and even Carl can deal with this.
As they plainly could when they reached the town and found it full of graffiti saying things like "TURN AROUND AND LIVE". Plainly someone had laid claim to the place, and it didn't take much guessing to figure out who the masked figure blazing away at them with a sniper rifle could be. Incapacitating him was, as with the Walkers, taken very much in stride (with some timely intervention from Carl), and the mask was pulled off to confirm that this was indeed Morgan.
The show had drifted yet again to its comic book origins, in which the gang passed back through the town and found Morgan starving and insane, his son having turned and being kept in chains. That aspect was left out – too similar to the scenario with the Governor's daughter so recently, I'd guess.
But Morgan was certainly no longer in his right mind. Holed up with enough weaponry to equip a small army, he'd been decorating the walls with random apparent nonsense – the word "CLEAR" repeated over and over, along with the heartbreaking revelation of his son's fate – "DUANE TURNED".
Scott Gimple's clever script split the group into two pairs, giving both the opportunity to spark off each other in some intense scenes. Left to look after Morgan, Rick had to deal with the man's frenzied hostility and madness before convincing him that he wasn't "wearing a dead man's face". This led to a pair of superb performances as Lincoln and James' characters unburdened to each other everything that had happened since they last met.
Morgan's son Duane (named, as in the comics, after Duane Jones, star of Night of the Living Dead) had been bitten by the Walker that used to be his mother – the wife Morgan had found himself unable to shoot at the end of that very first episode. Not unnaturally, Morgan had blamed himself, but couldn't bring himself to commit suicide, begging Rick to do it for him.
Rick, for his part, explained the loss of Lori, but still found enough optimism to encourage Morgan to join his group because, in the coming fight, "we're going to win". Perhaps seeing someone whose mind was even more broken than his own shocked him back to a more rational state of mind.
Carl, meanwhile, had taken off on a mysterious errand that was plainly more than the quest for baby supplies he told Rick. At first I groaned – were we back to the Carl of last year, who kept stupidly wandering off into mortal danger when no one was looking? But no, it turned out he had a good reason; he wanted to find the last remaining photo of his parents together, hanging in a local bar.
Accompanying him was Michonne, and their mutual distrust found an outlet as Carl immediately tried to ditch her. But Michonne's not that easy to ditch, as Merle could have told him, and she was back with him within moments, the pair uneasily cooperating. The bar having turned out to be chock full of Walkers, they had to work together to achieve Carl's objective; as they did, you could see their distrust gradually turning into a bond of friendship and respect.
It also allowed Michonne to open up a bit from the taciturn, closed-in character she'd been, as she revealed what she'd got when she went back into the bar to slaughter more Walkers (again offscreen). It seems she has a taste for kitschy cat ornaments!
By the time Carl confided in Rick, "I think she might be one of us", she was comfortable enough with her new friends to confide in Rick, and maybe help him out a little. She told him that she knew he'd been seeing – and talking to – dead people, and made him feel a little better about it by revealing that she'd been doing it too, talking to her dead boyfriend.
Morgan couldn't be persuaded to join the gang, so Rick left him in his fortified town, alone but with some of his nihilistic guilt alleviated. At that point it became clear what "CLEAR" meant – Morgan was going about the lonely business of clearing the town of Walkers, burning them on the pyre the group had seen on their way in. It wasn't a happy ending, exactly; but neither did it feel too sad.
This distinctly out-of-format episode was one of the best this year (a tough task, given how good the show has been). Self-contained, deep, and with four amazing, intense performances, it gave me a lot of confidence in writer Scott Gimple, who's soon to take over as showrunner from Glen Mazzara. It also (finally) gave some real depth to Michonne, that hopefully goes some way to countering the criticism of her as a two-dimensional comic book figure. Given the chance to do more than look surly and swing a katana about, Danai Gurira proved she's every bit as good an actor as the rest of the ensemble, and her chemistry with Chandler Riggs' increasingly earnest Carl was a highlight of the episode.
Next week, it's presumably back to the story proper, as the trio return to the prison with an awful lot of guns. Looks like they may need them. But this was such a good episode, it actually felt good to have a bit of a break from the ongoing saga of the fight with Woodbury. Let's hope the show has a chance to do a few more standalone episodes next year.

The Walking Dead: Season 2, Episode 12
SPOILER WARNING – I'M GOING TO TRY AND REVIEW THESE EPISODES AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE ORIGINAL U.S. TV BROADCAST. IF YOU'RE IN THE U.K., AND PLANNING TO WATCH THE BROADCAST ON FX THE FOLLOWING FRIDAY, BE AWARE THAT MAJOR PLOT POINTS WILL BE DISCUSSED!
With the season end in sight, this week's Walking Dead suitably ramped up the tension in another gripping episode that seems to demonstrate a show regaining its form. Brilliantly paced, Evan Reilly and Glen Mazzara's script built from a slow burning character drama to a climax that's been seemingly waiting in the wings for weeks.
First though, the gang had to mourn Dale after his shock death last week. The show's cold open nicely intercut Rick's eulogy at his graveside with an incredibly brutal and graphic zombie hunt. As Rick solemnly intoned that he was going to do things Dale's way from now on, a close up on Shane showed him looking distinctly unimpressed. The zombie hunt flashed through the ceremony, showing Shane's preferred method of doing things – brutally, pragmatically and finally. The effects here gave us some top notch gore, as walkers were dispatched in some inventive, non-gunfire ways.
There was some time to take stock, as Rick set about organising the proper fortification of Hershel's farm – something that they might sensibly have done some time ago. Having resolved to follow Dale's moral compass, Rick was still set on reviving the plan to release the hapless Randall a long way from the farm, and from his well-armed comrades. He plainly didn't trust Shane to help him with this, choosing Daryl instead. A sensible choice, but one that Shane saw straight through; as they argued the toss, it was interesting to see Shane as the calm one for once, with Rick acting like an arrogant hothead who knew all the answers. This, surely, was what precipitated the later, tragic events of the story.
First though, Carl confided in Shane that he saw himself as responsible for Dale's death, by failing to kill the walker he taunted last week. Shane's advice on this was as pragmatic as ever; it wasn't Carl's fault, but he should keep the gun and learn how to protect himself. The grownups wouldn't always be there to watch out for him. Actually, by the end of this episode I was beginning to wonder whether anyone was keeping an eye on him at all!
Rick having finally taken Shane's advice on talking to Carl, there was a touching father/son bonding scene, in which Rick almost tenderly outlined the new realities to his son. It was interesting to note that, after having proclaimed he'd do things Dale's way, the thrust of this was Rick's firm persuasion that Carl really should be armed. There was much debate after last week's episode as to whether Dale's pre-apocalypse, 'civilised' approach was the wrong way to go with the way things had become; it looks like Rick has decided that civilisation has to be tempered by the brutal realities of the situation. He continues to develop as a character, much as he does in the comics, and Andrew Lincoln was particularly good this week with some very strong material to work with.
Sarah Wayne Callies got some good stuff too, in a significant scene with Shane in which Lori finally acknowledged her own responsibility for the impossible situation between him and Rick. Lori's been arguably the most annoying character this year, presumably intentionally; selfish, indecisive and occasionally incompetent at basic self-preservation. Seeing her finally admit some of her own shortcomings was a surprise, and the scene with Shane felt like the beginning of some kind of closure.
In hindsight, a lot of the early part of this episode was indeed building up to closure on Shane. The fuse was lit as he stalked into the barn where Randall was tied up, then began flipping out and smashing himself on the head. After weeks of gradually unravelling, it was plain that he'd finally, completely, lost it, and this made for interestingly tense viewing as I genuinely couldn't tell which way he was going to jump. As he led Randall through the woods, encouraging him to spill all about his gang, I really believed that Shane might take the step of joining them. So it took me quite by surprise when they disappeared behind a tree and a distinctly nasty, neck-snappingish noise was heard.
And then, as Shane smashed his head against a tree, his plan became clearer – he was faking Randall's escape. But why? Plainly he was up to no good, but even here it was hard to see what he was hoping to gain.
It all came to a head in one of the tensest scenes the show's done, as Rick and Shane came to a desolate, moonlit field near the woods. Director Guy Ferland gave the scene some excellent visuals as Rick and Shane stood silhouetted facing each other, the moon high behind them, as if reaching the final showdown in a classic Western. The implication was clear, and Rick, a trained cop after all, figured it out quickly. "So this is where you're going to do it then?" he asked, knowing that this was Shane's endgame. "Good a place as any," Shane replied laconically. The showdown vibe was unmistakeable; that same laid back attitude the antagonists display at the end of every Sergio Leone movie. I fully expected a long, drawn out standoff with increasingly close shots of the actors' faces interspersed with shots of fingers twitching near triggers.
And what we got, cleverly, was something quite different. Having built up that vibe, the script switched tack as Rick went into classic 'police negotiator' mode, trying to persuade Shane that, if he only gave up the gun, all this could be forgotten and they could move on.
This was certainly the 'Dale-like' thing to do, and was reminiscent of the more peaceable philosophy of heroes like Jean-Luc Picard or the Doctor. It was also, in light of Shane's increasing insanity, plainly the absolute wrong thing to do here. This played out for a tense few minutes, until Rick took the step of holding out his gun to Shane. At this point, I was prepared for two outcomes; Rick getting killed (unlikely), or Shane accepting his terms and condemning the viewer to more endless weeks of seething tension between them.
Instead, I was again genuinely surprised that the scriptwriters had the balls for Rick to finally accept what had to be. As Shane reached for the gun, Rick, sobbing, stabbed him through the heart. It was a shocking moment, well-handled by both actors. The look of amazement on Shane's face as Rick finally bought into his way of doing things was priceless. Mind you, I also wondered whether the whole thing had been engineered by Shane as an elaborate, unhinged way of committing suicide; the scene seemed laced with deliberate ambiguity on this.
Even than, the shocks weren't over, nor the script's clever mind games. Carl suddenly popped up, having seen everything (really, does nobody keep an eye on what he's doing?). And it looked for a moment like he was going to shoot his father. Rick certainly thought so, an indication of how he's not getting the changes in his son.
But no, as the gunshot rang out, it was the stumbling, now zombified Shane that Carl shot; possibly a clever nod to the comics, in which Carl shot the living Shane much, much earlier. It also served to establish (along with the discovery that the strangled Randall was now a zombie too) something we'd suspected for a few weeks now – you don't have to be bitten to come back from the dead. This is a potentially interesting development; it means that, if this is caused by some kind of virus, everyone is a carrier, with death waiting to trigger it. I wonder if that's what Dr Jenner whispered into Rick's ear at the end of Season One? Still no resolution on that – yet.
As a prelude to the season finale, the episode ended with a swarm of walkers, drawn by all that gunfire, stumbling across the field towards Rick and Carl – and the farm. Clearly, in time-honoured zombie movie tradition, the climax to this season is going to see an invasion of the undead laying siege to our heroes' refuge. Will they survive? Will they have to move on from the farm? (God, I hope so!) And more importantly, will they have the sense to get guns with silencers?
With the episodes of the last few weeks, The Walking Dead really seems to have got its mojo back after a distinctly patchy, often badly paced season. This was another strong story, and a great sendoff for Shane. Jon Bernthal has been excellent in the role, and will be missed. Zombie stories really need a human villain to work; the zombies are an all-pervading danger, but they're essentially mindless. For genuine nastiness, you need the living, something George Romero's movies always remind us of. I gather that another of the comic's well-known baddies is due to put in an appearance soon to fill the void. First though, our heroes have got what looks like an all out zombie onslaught to contend with. If it can match the quality of the last few episodes, roll on next week…

After the last couple of zombie-heavy episodes, this week's Walking Dead was back to the zombie-light character drama that has been, on occasion, so frustratingly slow-paced. But this was no letdown; rather, it was one of the most intensely dramatic episodes the show has done in ages. This time, you found yourself really caring about the characters and how they were adjusting to this cruel new world, in perhaps the cruellest episode yet.
As I predicted last week, there was more than an echo of classic BBC post-apocalyptic series Survivors, specifically a similarly talky but nailbiting episode called 'Law and Order'. The story's basic structure even resembled it, as it all built to a central 'trial' scene at which the group had to debate the morality of, and potential alternatives to, summarily executing their potentially dangerous prisoner.
As an examination of one of the central dilemmas faced by survivors of the collapse of civilisation, the episode pulled no punches. When those who survive have no authority structure left, they must necessarily take law and order – and its prosecution – into their own hands. This is a responsibility that most people simply don't want, as we saw here – Hershel, Maggie and Carol were all more than willing to take no part in the debate and leave it to others. The trouble was, as Dale put it, that taking no part was tantamount to carrying out the 'judicial murder' themselves.
With Rick having thought long and hard, and having come up with no reasonable alternative to killing Randall, it was left to Dale to be the sole voice of what used to be called 'civilisation'. The first half of the episode showed him roaming the farm and trying to change the minds of the gang one by one. As he said to Andrea, "the world we knew has gone, but keeping our humanity? That's a choice."
Andrea wasn't initially convinced. When Dale reminded her that in the world before she'd been a civil rights lawyer, she simply replied, "who says we're civilised any more?" But it was Daryl, still tormented, who had the most revealing assessment of the situation. Rebutting Dale's assertion that the group respected him and his decision counted, he accurately summed up the state of affairs: "This group's broken."
It was later to become clear why the episode focused on Dale so heavily; but in the mean time, other characters were getting a little more screen time than usual, particularly Carl. Chandler Riggs has been putting in an amazingly confident and solemn performance for a twelve year old actor as Carl heads into dark territory this year; never more so than here, where for the first time the episode focused strongly on him. Even more so than in the comic, his pragmatic, child's-eye view is a disturbing foretaste of the way humanity's next generation could head, even while the aging Dale represents a world now long gone.
From Carl's disturbing encounter with the desperate Randall in the barn, through his angry denial of Heaven to Carol and ultimately two hair-raising scenes of him taunting a stuck-in the-mud zombie, this was as much Riggs' episode as it was Jeffrey DeMunn's as Dale. With the very real moral dilemma taking centre stage, that zombie (gruesomely realised with some excellent makeup) was the only one in sight this week. But it was to take a vital role in the plot as basically a symbol of the very situation our survivors found themselves in.
First though, there had to be the showdown between old world morality and new world pragmatism, in that 'trial' that was so reminiscent of the one in Survivors. Dale passionately made the case for mercy, arguing that it was patently immoral to execute somebody for a crime he had yet to, and might never, commit. Shane's pragmatic approach, with Rick's agreement, was that the risk wasn't worth taking.
The look on Jeffrey DeMunn's face as Dale realised that he was alone in his views, that even his admirer Glenn wouldn't back him up, was heartbreaking, tears shining in his eyes as he realised his world was probably gone forever. And then, surprisingly, it was Andrea he convinced. After she spoke up, a discussion was had as to the alternatives; keep Randall prisoner (a mouth to feed contributing nothing), dump him somewhere far away (considerable risk to whoever had to take him) or trust him to contribute by working with the group (either meaning someone would have to watch him or running the risk that he'd slip away and bring his thirty heavily-armed friends with him).
In the end, though, just as in Survivors, the pragmatic argument won out over the compassionate one, and Randall was dragged out to be shot. Rick having insisted that he had to shoulder the responsibility of carrying the act out himself gave Andrew Lincoln the chance to look unutterably tormented as he tremblingly held the gun on the weeping, terrified boy blindfolded before him.
And then a surprise, as Rick was confronted with the consequences. Carl turned up unexpectedly, urging his father to go through with it, perhaps with even a hint of bloodlust. And Rick, shamed by facing up to what his son was becoming – and what he might too – couldn't pull the trigger.
It was a heart-stopping moment in an episode full of them. I was hugely impressed with director Greg Nicotero's handling of his cast with Andrea Kang's hard-hitting script; the more so because Nicotero is usually the king of zombies, having begun as a makeup man with Tom Savini on Romero's Day of the Dead. You'd almost expect a Nicotero episode to be a gore-heavy one, but this was real drama, and sensitively handled.
And even after Randall's last minute reprieve, the script had one last punch to deliver. Dale, wandering disillusioned out to the fields, was grabbed and disembowelled by a wandering zombie – the very same zombie that Carl had taunted and singularly failed to kill earlier, and may even have led to the farm. And finally, with Rick having been unable to shoot the untrustworthy prisoner, the episode concluded with Daryl having to shoot one of their best friends, just to save him from his death agonies.
It was a jaw dropping shock, and yet another clever example of wrong-footing those familiar with the comics. In the comics, Dale survives much, much longer than this, eventually striking up a romantic relationship with Andrea. Here, a character we thought was safe was ripped from the show brutally. The message was clear – forget what you think you know from the comics, all bets are off.
And it was also a final, nihilistic bit of symbolism in an episode that was full of them. Dale was the last representative of the old, good, compassionate world, and here he was, his guts ripped out by the world that was now, having to be put out of his misery.
This was an incredibly powerful episode for much the same reasons as the Survivors one, but given an extra level of tension by the fact that almost every US state still has the death penalty. In Britain, even in 1975, the debate was old news, but in the US it's still very much current. What this episode does, as its very title indicates, is ask the viewer how you would feel about it, particularly if you were the one who had to not only make the decision but carry out the execution itself.
And finally, if you have any sympathy at all for the characters, it was an incredibly cruel episode. Rick is confronted with his son turning into a cold-hearted pragmatist like Shane; Carl is left with the knowledge that he may be indirectly responsible for Dale's death; and Dale himself goes to his grave never actually having been told that his arguments for civilisation ultimately won the day. Good drama works by putting its characters through the wringer – this did that in spades. A superb episode even with only one zombie in it, impeccably written, directed and acted.

One of the first things Chávez and his United Socialist Party of Venezuela did was to take back control of Venezuela's oil resource, upon which the entire economy of Venezuela depends.
He led the struggle of the people of Venezuela to recapture their resources from U.S. imperialism and their puppets in the country.
Muntaner states further that Chavez's government has eradicated illiteracy in Venezuela, making it the third-highest literate population in the region. There is also tuition-free education, from daycare to college.
Roughly 72 percent of children attend public daycares and 85 percent of school age children attend school. There are thousands of new and refurbished schools, including 10 new universities.
Since the opposition gained control of the National Assembly in December 2015, their sense of entitlement to exercise power grew exponentially. So is the support and belief from the U.S. for regime change in Venezuela.
Three things made it possible for the opposition to take control of the National Assembly. The high rate of abstention among Venezuela's toiling masses, the sharp drop in oil revenues that shook the economy of Venezuela and the country's settler bourgeoisie who took this opportunity to engage in food shortage manipulations to discredit and destabilize the government.
The food shortage is not as exaggerated as bourgeois media would want you to believe, but it affects the Venezuelan working class and peasant classes. Let's not forget that a majority of Venezuelan media is privately owned and in the hands of the local bourgeoisie and the United States.
The imperialist New York Times reminds us how the opposition took control of the legislative branch.
"When the opposition got the National Assembly, they said there would be food, and now it's even worse," said Juan Carlos Hernández, a 43-year-old government employee who said he supported President Nicolás Maduro.
The opposition is dominated by white settlers and neo-colonialists who openly work for the U.S. ruling class. One sector of this settler bourgeoisie openly calls and works for a violent overthrow of Maduro's government.
The high level of deaths, including of police officers, are due to these U.S. puppets. They do not restrict themselves to electoral tactics; they are prepared to use all means to regain power.
They attack voting centers and military barracks, they carry out targeted assassinations of anti-imperialist activists, terrorize people in working class areas, raid shops, and in short, they work to create a climate of insecurity to advance U.S. imperialist interests. They know they have the support of imperialist traditional media.
The call for a National Constituent Assembly, ANC, is Maduro's response to this reality. Elections for the body were held on July 30. An ANC by definition has a short life span and ends when its mission is completed.
This ANC will review the 1999 revolutionary constitution and propose a new one in two years. They have the power to change institutions.
The opposition boycotted ANC elections and organized a counter proposal consultation on July 16 without the approval of the National Electoral Council, the body responsible for organizing elections.
Since the presidential elections are set for next year, there are many struggles in the months ahead.
U.S. President Donald Trump has called Maduro a "dictator" despite the fact that there have been over 15 elections in Venezuela since the Chavistas came to power. You cannot compare that with Saudi Arabia, the friend of the U.S. in the Middle East.
In February 1989, in what is known today as the Caracazo, a pro-U.S. government slaughtered over 500 demonstrators opposed to the price hike of transportation costs, food and other basic necessities.
This is not to say that there are no problems in Venezuela or that all things that have happened in recent years have been a success. This is far from ignoring the struggles that the Bolivarian government has been experiencing as the whole world has its eyes on Venezuela.
Chávez represented a ray of hope for oppressed people around the world. His access to power has undermined U.S. influence in Venezuela and in the region. He was able to politicize the army and win patriotic forces inside the army to support the Bolivarian Revolution, making it difficult for the U.S. to easily launch a coup that would capture power for the benefit of the U.S. and its Venezuelan puppets.
It is clear that regardless of contradictions within Chavista leadership, the opposition-aligned settler colonialists, compradors and bureaucrats from Europe and elsewhere must be crushed to allow the Revolution to move forward.
The announce of a new round of U.S. sanctions against leading members of Maduro's leadership was predictable in contrast to the swift U.S. condemnation of Venezuela's government as well as Cuba, Bolivia, Nicaragua, Dominica, Ecuador, Antigua and Barbuda, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Lucia, Grenada and the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis. These are all members of the leftist Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America, or ALBA.
"Our people seek harmony, integration and here we have a declaration of total unconditional support for Venezuela's democracy, it's democratically-elected president and to the people who have been valiantly defending their rights and sovereignty," ALBA Secretary General David Choquehuanca told reporters after the condemnation.
This is just the latest example of U.S. aggression in Latin America and the Caribbean, from the theft of half of Mexico in 1848, the overthrow of Guatemala's Jacobo Árbenz in 1954, the overthrow of Chile's Salvador Allende in 1973, the training and funding in the 1980s of right-wing death squads to destroy revolutions in Central America, the failed coup attempt against Chávez in 2002, the overthrow of Haiti's Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 2004 and the overthrow of Honduras' Manuel Zelaya in 2009.
All these show that it is the U.S. that is a strategic threat to freedom and all peace loving people of Central and South America.

Sam Pillar, CEO and founder of Jobber said, "Jobber's number one priority is to help pave a path to success for our customers. We do that in a lot of ways, and an undeniably critical one is getting paid for work. Square is an established leader in the payments space, with an excellent product and customer experience. Partnering with Square is a great step for us in continuing to bring our customers closer to their hard earned cash, and we're really excited about it!"
Square handles all types of businesses such as Food and Beverage, Retail, Beauty Professionals, Professional Services and Home and Repair Services. Customers can pay you on the spot with their credit card just by swiping it through the portable reader. The money is transferred instantly into your business account with no interaction from your employee at the job site. If you only bill that particular customer, then Square can send them an email invoice on the spot. The 'Register' is a point-of-sale (POS) app you can download onto your tablet to use it as a POS machine rather than an old fashion and clunky cash register. You can also order a 'Reader' that plugs into your headphone jack on your smartphone and together, with an app that you download, you can swipe a credit card through the reader to conduct business.
Once you have 'rung up' your sale, Square also will produce an 'Invoice' on screen that the customer can sign with just their finger and then the merchant can email you a copy. You can also use that invoice for contacting the vendor if there is a problem. After the sales, Square's 'Analytics' can help the seller analyze their sales with graphs and charts and it integrates with QuickBooks and Xero. As Square services grow in Canada it can only make it easier for small businesses to conduct business.

City to Request $101M in State Transportation Funds
Oct 2, 2016 | Government
Published on: October 2, 2016 | Government
By Susan Larson. File photo copyright Fredericksburg.Today
Fredericksburg City Council voted unanimously September 27, 2016, to apply for $101 million in Smart Scale and $375,000 in Highway Safety Improvement Program funds through the Virginia Department of Transportation.
The money would be used for three projects within the city or that would have a direct impact on city travelers and commuters, according to Senior Planner/Deputy Director Erik F. Nelson. There are no direct costs to the city.
The three projects are:
Twin Lakes/Kensington Trail Connector
Current project estimate: $2 million through Smart Scale
This project consists of a proposed ten-foot wide multi-use trail along Lafayette Boulevard, from Twin Lakes Drive to the proposed Telegraph Hill residential development. Stafford developer Andrew Garrett is still working with the city to obtain approval for Telegraph Hill. This new trail would connect with a similar trail to be built as part of the Telegraph Hill project, and it would link to the Virginia Central Railway Trail. Fredericksburg Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (FAMPO) staff will submit this application.
VRE Fredericksburg Line Capacity Expansion
Current project estimate: $136 million total cost, of which $99 million is being requested through Smart Scale
Virginia Railway Express (VRE) is seeking funding from the Commonwealth to combine several unfunded/underfunded projects in their Capital Improvement Program. The overall project will include a variety of station, parking, and storage yard expansion projects, as well as the acquisition of 11 new coaches. "There are no construction projects in the city, but these improvements will benefit the entire Fredericksburg Line," Nelson said.
Signal Lights Safety Upgrade
Current project estimate: $375,000 total cost ($15,000 per signal) through the Highway Safety Improvement Program
"The Highway Safety Improvement Program has been revised to better address the safety needs of all public roads in the Commonwealth," Nelson said. A portion of the funds will be made available in 2020 to jurisdictions which maintain their own local roads. "There are 25 signalized intersections within the city that need to be retrofitted with the new amber left turn arrow, which has been found to reduce vehicle collisions in left turn lanes," Nelson said. These funds would cover that project.

Meet Kirk Hartman, the creative force behind HuskerVision and the famed Nebraska Tunnel Walk.
It's Friday morning, 29 hours before another Nebraska season football opener. A little more than a dozen people are sitting patiently in the HuskerVision studio inside Memorial Stadium.
If you could create your own Tunnel Walk, what music and images would you use?
They're waiting to see what more than 85,000 fans are going to witness the next day on one of the biggest videoboards in all of college football.
The lights dim. The screen comes to life. There's a new 30-second promo for Nebraska basketball season tickets, a new 30-second spot on how to evacuate the stadium, a clip on how well some ex-Huskers did in NFL preseason games the past week and a new feature on how fans can text their cell phone pictures so they might see themselves on HuskerVision later in the game. Next up is a new approach to introducing Nebraska's offensive and defensive starters.
Everyone in the room knows what's coming next. You can almost cut the anticipation with a knife. What kind of new twist to Nebraska's famed Tunnel Walk has Kirk Hartman come up with now?
As the sound amps up and the secret is revealed, no one in the room moves an inch or takes their eyes off the screen. As the lights begin to come back on, someone tries to clap, but gives it up to stay as professional as possible.
Every person in the room has a satisfied look, but no one's smile is bigger than Steve Pederson's. Nebraska's athletic director extends his right arm and shakes the hand of Kirk Hartman, the creative force behind HuskerVision since 1994.
"Thanks," replies Hartman, 44, who grew up on a farm three miles north of Paxton in the shadows of the Nebraska Sandhills on the North Platte River.
Pederson, a native of North Platte, has more than a vested interest in the Tunnel Walk.
Hartman agreed. Then Pederson, who wanted a more dramatic opening-game effect, asked the HuskerVision team if a camera man could walk backwards as the team came out of the tunnel. Jeff Schmahl, then the director of HuskerVision and now an associate athletic director at Texas A&M, was more than willing to give the idea a try.
Soon after Nebraska installed what was then the largest video screen in the history of college football, the Tunnel Walk was born. Hartman has directed every single version of it over the past 13 years. Three national championships in its first four years of existence only enhanced what the Tunnel Walk means to players, coaches, fans and others who have watched it climb the popularity charts.
Hartman appreciates Pederson's support. But he's even more interested in what his much larger target audience thinks. Remember, this is a guy who raised cattle, fed hogs and grew corn and wheat before he moved on to Kearney State College and then came to Nebraska as a freelance producer.
Hartman plans a little fireworks of his own Saturday at approximately 2:30 p.m. Check out Huskers.com right after the game and let us know what you think.

Can 1 European Country End Poverty Forever?
Image source: U.S. National Archives and Records Administration.
And Social Security is just the beginning of the problem.
From SSA to SSI, SNAP, TANF, WIC, Section 8, and more, America's economic "safety net" comprises a hodgepodge of dozens of federal and state programs, costing us tens of billions of dollars a year to administer, and about $1 trillion for the benefits they provide. And we're the lucky ones.
With its cradle-to-grave social security system, Europe is the poster child for the modern welfare state. America is just the JV team in this game. In Europe, they play pro ball, with high welfare costs necessitating marginal tax rates of 50% -- and up.
One country is trying to change that.
Haloo, Finland!Over in Finland (top marginal tax rate: 49.2%), frustration with the cost and bureaucracy of the modern welfare state has hit a peak. But in an attempt to "simplify the social security system," Finland has hit upon a plan to guarantee a basic income sufficient to provide all citizens a subsistence level of living -- at reasonable cost, and with minimal oversight.
They call it the universal basic income, or UBI. Here's how it works.
How UBI worksGlobally, UBI goes by many names, including the "basic income guarantee" and "negative income tax." But the essence of the idea is the same: UBI collects a portion of a country's wealth (through taxes), then shares that out equally (as UBI), paying each citizen the minimum level of income sufficient to keep body and soul together.
And UBI aims to do this efficiently, without micromanagement by the nanny-state. Instead of giving the unemployed one benefit ("please provide proof of an ongoing job search"), the retired another ("based on the mean level of your last three pay stubs, divided by pi"), and parents of dependent children a third, every UBI recipient receives a lump sum payment to use as he or she sees fit.
Spend it on rent, on food, on private kindergarten -- or live in a box, childless and dining on caviar. It's up to you, and everyone, rich or poor, starts out at the same level.
Kela will consider several options for implementing UBI, including the unconditional payment to adult citizens of 800 euro (about $880) per month, every month, for 24 months. With $22 billion to work with, this would allow for paying up to 1 million Finns $880 per month for the duration of the project.
Ultimately, Finland may tweak the number of recipients or the size of the payment, substitute UBI for only some, but not all, welfare programs -- or a combination of the above. The precise details should be worked out by November 15, 2016. Finland will then institute UBI at the beginning of 2017 and run it through the end of 2018 -- then assess the results.
UBI in America?All of this sounds interesting in an abstract, "Wouldn't it be nice if we lived there?" sense. But believe it or not, the United States has tried out UBI, too, albeit on a smaller scale than what Finland proposes. We've tried it several times, in fact, and with encouraging results.
In the 1970s, municipalities in Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, New Jersey, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Washington state all set up pilot projects to test out UBI. Alaska even established a Permanent Fund for sharing the state's oil wealth (through annual payments) in 1980, which remains in effect today.
Critics of UBI predicted (and still do predict) that UBI recipients would take the money and sit on their...hands...and just feed from the public trough. That worry echoes the "makers versus takers" arguments of the 2012 presidential election. And yet, experience suggests these worries are exaggerated.
Past UBI experiments in the U.S. show that the vast majority of UBI recipients use UBI as a safety net, but continue working. While UBI recipients worked 9% fewer hours with UBI than they had without it, the greatest reduction in hours worked was seen among mothers with children, who worked 7% to 21% less with UBI than without it. Financial support from UBI allowed them to stay home and raise their children.
As for men, on average, they worked only 6% less with UBI than without it. Men who "dropped out" of the workforce primarily used UBI to pay for education to reenter the workforce, or took more time to conduct a thorough job search before returning to work.
Crucially, "none of the researchers found evidence of people who simply stopped working so that they could live off" a UBI, period.
But is UBI affordable?Still, one worry that could thwart UBI in Finland, or in the U.S., is cost. Can they -- can we -- afford it?
As for getting the money to set up UBI, Sheahen suggests that closing such loopholes would be a good first start, and would pay for much of UBI's cost. As for the rest, a system roughly as follows might work.
Every adult in the U.S., resident for five years, receives a $11,500 UBI. That's the floor income at which everyone starts off -- whether you're a homemaker raising a family, a gainfully employed big-city lawyer, or multibillionaire Amazon.com CEO Jeff Bezos. $11,500 is, incidentally, also roughly equal to the UBI benefit Finland may establish.
If you don't have a job, you must live on $11,500 a year (which is doable, but hardly luxurious).
Bezos, who earned $1.68 million from Amazon last year, keeps $1,092,000 of that, plus his BIG payment of $11,500 -- so $1.1 million and change.
Final analysisCould Finland's UBI idea work in America, too? I honestly don't know. But closing tax loopholes is a pretty popular idea. So is levying a fair tax on the capital gains of hedge fund honchos and private equity billionaires. And of course, we're all in favor of charity here at The Motley Fool.
If we can achieve these three goals, without too big of a tax hit to the middle class (see above -- 12%!), it's just possible that setting up a UBI system is an idea worth looking at here as well as there.
