Hong Kong protests focus on Cathay Pacific for firing crew

Hundreds of people protested in Hong Kong on Wednesday to denounce Cathay Pacific Airways for dismissing crew taking part in or supporting anti-government rallies that have swept the Chinese-ruled city for weeks.
The Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions (HKCTU) switched the protest venue, originally planned to be outside the airline's airport headquarters, Cathay City, to the central financial district after police refused permission.

Cathay Pacific staffers sacked and stood down over Hong Kong protest involvement
Cathay pilot says Hong Kong crisis 'could be the collapse of the airline'
The airport was forced to close two weeks ago after protesters thronged the arrivals hall for days, grounding about 1,000 flights and occasionally clashing with police.
Cathay was targeted for sacking 20 pilots and cabin crew and what staff have described as "white terror", a phrase used to describe anonymous acts that create a climate of fear.
"Revoke termination, stop terrorizing CX staff," proclaimed a black banner in English at the protest site where at least 2,000 gathered peacefully. "Uphold our freedom of speech."
CX is airline code for Cathay.
The airline has been caught in the crosswinds between authorities in Beijing and protesters who have staged sometimes violent demonstrations since June that have grown into the biggest challenge for authorities in the former British colony since it returned to Chinese rule in 1997.
China has denounced the protests and accused the United States and Britain of interfering in its affairs in Hong Kong. It has sent a clear warning that forceful intervention is possible.
Rebecca Sy, former head of a flight attendants' association, said she was fired without explanation after managers saw her Facebook account.
"We never faced any disciplinary action from the company before. How come now they just terminate me without any valid reason? By simply showing me those printouts of my own private Facebook account?"
'NO GROUND FOR COMPROMISE'
China's aviation regulator demanded Cathay suspend staff from flying over its airspace if they were involved in, or supported, the demonstrations. At least 20 pilots and cabin crew have since been fired, the HKCTU said.
Cathay's director for corporate affairs, James Tong, said the Civil Aviation Administration of China had issued a directive "with regards to new safety and security measures" with which the airline was bound to comply.
"We fully support the upholding of the Basic Law and all the rights and freedoms afforded by it. At the same time, we are also required to adhere to all of our regulatory duties, including those prescribed by the authorities in mainland China. The airline must do this; there is no ground for compromise."
The Basic Law is the mini-constitution under which Hong Kong is ruled.
The protests in the Asian financial hub have posed the biggest challenge for Communist Party rulers in Beijing since President Xi Jinping took power in 2012.
Unrest escalated in mid-June over a now-suspended extradition bill that would have allowed people to be sent to mainland China for trial in Communist Party-controlled courts.
It has since evolved into calls for greater democracy under the "one country, two systems" formula under which Hong Kong has been administered since 1997, guaranteeing freedoms that include an independent judiciary.
Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam, attending a ceremony celebrating the 70th anniversary of the People's Republic of China on October 1, said "we must stop violence" by the rule of law.
"Facing the current escalation of violence and the massive destructive actions by radical demonstrators, we must strengthen our confidence and act as a defender of 'one country, two systems'," she said.
But Lam has not ruled out the possibility of invoking emergency powers.
A mannequin dressed as a Cathay flight attendant held a sign saying "all five demands must be fulfilled", referring to the broader protest calls to withdraw the extradition bill, set up an independent inquiry into complaints of police brutality, stop describing the protests as riots, waive charges against those arrested and resume political reform.
Thousands also gathered to protest against what demonstrators say is sexual violence by police. It has been dubbed the "#MeToo" rally and some wrote "#ProtestToo" on their arms with red lipstick.
Police said they respected the rights of people in detention and were aware of online "rumors" that a person had been sexually harassed, which they said were false.
Hong Kong is on the verge of its first recession in a decade, weighed down by the protests and a prolonged US-China trade war.

Universal travel tip: If you have to ask, don't.
1. "Do you speak English?"
It's really okay to ask, but in the wrong tone ^^^this is how you come across.
No one expects you to be fluent in the host language to visit it, but learn to say, "Excuse me, do you speak English?" or "English, please" in the native tongue and lead with that. People will figure out your tourist easily enough, but they'll also figure out you're courteous too and be more likely to help.
2. "Seriously, why doesn't anyone here speak English?"
Firstly, there's a fine line between curious and obnoxious and you just crossed it.
Secondly, it makes talking about you behind your entitled self that much easier.
3. "JUST ANY QUESTION AT THIS VOLUME, IT COULD LITERALLY BE ANYTHING, WHY DO YOU ALL WORDS HAVE TO COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH THIS LOUD?!!?"
^ Hear that? A phrase that transcends all language barriers.
4. "Where's the Pizza Hut? Where's the Taco Bell? Where's the Cheesecake Factory?"
Sample the country's cuisine. Find an independent family-owned restaurant. Support the local economy. Order from menus that aren't numbered combo meals. You'll survive.
5. "Well, okay then, where should we eat?"
To clarify, this isn't a bad question; it's encouraged. Instead here's more of a tip on a better way to ask: "Where would you and your friends eat?" or "What's a cafe you go to often?"
Simply rephrase it and you tend to get amazing recommendations you'd never find otherwise this way.
6. "Does anyone here know how to drive?"
Because the answer is always no. No one knows how to drive. Not here, not there, and especially not from where you're from either.
NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO DRIVE ANYWHERE.
7. "How much is that in dollars?"
8. "Why is it so cheap here? This is amazing!"
Um, it might not be so "cheap" to the people who actually live and work there.
9. "Why is everything taking so long?"
Your "slow" may just be another country's way of life, more laid back and relaxed.
Just because a waiter abroad isn't checking on your table and refilling your water every 9 minutes doesn't mean they're treating you poorly. Often they're just not trying to hurry you through your meal and out the door. Also, whatever, reeelax, aren't you on vacation?
10. "Where can I get a fanny pack?"
Because no one wants to see anyone in a fanny pack.


Yay, it's letting me post pics today!
Chance and Caroline check each other out.
Maggie is the itchiest horse I've ever now. She loves to scratch on anything that will stand still.
This would be a good picture if Chance weren't so muddy.
He's so curious about the doelings, but I don't trust him very much with them yet.
The whole herd: Chance is so much more refined than Natty is!
Boy the barn looks small when the horses are inside!
Here's another picture of Maggie scratching. She really enjoys it!
Here are some older pictures I've been saving up since the blog wouldn't upload for me. This first one is little Caroline up on tippy hooves eating my avocado tree (note the halves of leaves on the right). I know goats are famous for this, but I didn't expect it to start so early!
Here's Maggie with the little goaties. She is so good and gentle with them!
These are from New Years Eve – brrr!
Mt Hood all snow-covered. I love my view!
This is an eye test – can you find Niki?
Oh THERE she is, right behind Chance and almost completely hidden. When did he get so big?
Poor thing looks ready to pop.

Dennis Viollet (ur. 20 września 1933, zm. 6 marca 1999) – angielski piłkarz, reprezentant Anglii. Występował głównie w Manchesterze United.

Życiorys

Kariera
Dołączył do Manchesteru United 1 września 1949 roku. Przeszedł przez różne szczeble juniorskie zanim wszedł do pierwszego składu w 1950 roku. Swój pierwszy mecz dla klubu rozegrał z Newcastle United 11 kwietnia 1953. Jest on powszechnie uważany za jednego z najbardziej niedocenianych napastników wszech czasów.

Razem z Tommym Taylorem tworzył drużynę sir Matta Busbyego w 1950 roku. Ocalał z katastrofy lotniczej w Monachium. Dennis miał duży udział w dwóch mistrzostwach, które zostały zdobyte przez United w 1956 i 1957. Strzelił 178 goli w 291 grach dla United. Był piorunująco szybkim graczem, który w połączeniu z wysokim Taylorem tworzył piekielnie silny atak. Po katastrofie lotniczej w Monachium, Dennis udowodnił swoją wartość przez strzelenie 32 bramek w 36 meczach w 1960, ustanawiając tym samym rekord klubu. To właśnie podczas tego sezonu i następnego, zaliczył dwa występy w angielskiej kadrze, przegranym z Węgrami i zwycięskim z Luksemburgiem, w którym strzelił jedną bramkę.

W 1962 roku Matt Busby niespodziewanie sprzedał 28-letniego Violleta do Stoke City za 25 tysięcy funtów po tym, jak zaliczył 179 goli w 293 występach na Old Trafford. Dołączył do zespołu odbudowywanego przez Tony'ego Waddingtona, zawierającego doświadczonych graczy, takich jak Stanley Matthews i Jackie Mudie, a także wschodzące talenty brytyjskiej piłki, jak John Ritchie, i Eric Skeels. Chociaż przychodził do Stoke jako napastnik, większość występów zaliczył jako pomocnik. Podczas pobytu w Stoke zdobył mistrzostwo Second Division w sezonie 1962/63 oraz Puchar Ligi w 1964 roku, strzelając bramkę w drugim meczu finałowym z Leicester City. W Stoke zaliczył 207 występów (jeden jako zmiennik) i strzelił 66 goli. Otrzymał wyróżnienie tuż przed jego przejściem na emeryturę w 1967 roku.

Wkrótce po opuszczeniu Victoria Ground, postanowił wznowić karierę w drużynie NASL Baltimore Bays w Stanach Zjednoczonych na jeden sezon. Po powrocie do Wielkiej Brytanii, grał dla Witton Albion, przed skończeniem kariery w Linfield jako grający menedżer, prowadząc drużynę do wygranej w Pucharze Irlandii w piłce nożnej w 1970 roku.

Życie prywatne
Jego córka Rachel, została numerem jeden brytyjskich tenisistek, kiedy w roku 1996 dotarła do drugiej rundy Wimlbedonu. Natomiast w 2002 odpadła w pierwszej rundzie. W swojej karierze wygrała jeden turniej w singlu z cyklu ITF i jeden deblowy.

The final iteration of the 3D printed Banana Standard pistol is now fully functional. All major controls work perfectly, and all minor tolerances have been corrected. The only issue seems to be that the slide, in conjunction with the recoil spring, are too heavy to cycle properly with a suppressor attached. The frame was printed in PLA at 0.1mm layer heights.
Incredible. According to the comments on the video, he even 3d printed the frame rails in 17-4 stainless steel. As you know, the frame is the part with the serial number on it, so he's making what the internet likes to call a "GHOST GUN"👻👻👻. Although he could have used a Glock slide, he chose to use some aftermarket one in the videos. The guy hasn't made any comments on the long term durability of the PLA.
The guy also 3d printed a VZ61 Skorpion, from measurements he took off a de-milled parts kit and some old blueprints.
Oh man the aftermarket is going to have a field day once this becomes easier and easier to do at home, and the files become open source. Naturally the lawmakers will be scrambling even more than they are now.

Perosi
Lorenzo Perosi
Lorenzo Perosi was born on 20 December 1872 in Tortona, Italy. He became a priest in 1893 and was appointed choirmaster at St.Marks in Venice in 1884 and at the Sistine Chapel in Rome in 1898. He wrote 33 masses and a number of oratorios which had international success. His style is described as naive and conservative, but of a fresh and gentle spirituality. Perosi died 12 December 1956 in Rome. This CD is a recording by Radio Vaticana of a concert which was given July 24, 1988 in honor of Pope John Paul II in the Courtyard of the Palazzo Pontifico, Castel Gandolfo. The speech in which the Pope expressed his thanks is also recorded and this was his opinion on the music: The mysterious and fascinating language of music has been combined with the language of faith, touching the very core of the inner being of Man. When great, true music becomes prayer, it touches on the inexpressible.

I try to keep up with the latest news, but by no means could I use this blog to break news. That said, developments in the past couple of days are must-reads for anyone interested in water resources. The water in the southwest is just not there this year, folks, and it's starting to dawn on people how precarious our water supplies can be. The simple case is San Luis Reservoir, which supplies much of the South Bay – wealthy homes in Los Altos, Saratoga, and Cupertino, as well as industries in Silicon Valley. The reservoir is at historic lows — 17% of full pool — because of one of the driest rainy seasons on record, combined with cutbacks in flows out of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta have cut off much of the typical inflows, while outflows, in the form of residential, industrial, and agricultural demand, continue unabated. This year isn't the year that water will have to be rationed within the San Jose area, according to officials, due to extra storage on-hand in groundwater and smaller reservoirs, but the Santa Clara Valley Water District should be pushing for conservation among its customers and a resolution to the long-term plans for the Bay-Delta, such as the tunnels, perhaps, to shore up their water reliability…
The reliability of the Colorado River's flow has been debated since the first compact over-allocated the water rights based on wetter than average years. We're in a 14-year drought on the Colorado, and now 40 million people's drinking water and some 15% of the nation's produce depend on it. Remarkable numbers, but that's what happens when there's only one "major" water source in a 7-state region, and it's not even one of the top 25 rivers in the US in terms of discharge (at 1400 cubic ft per second on average, the Colorado is #28 of America's 38 rivers over 500 miles long). Lakes Powell and Mead, the largest two reservoirs in the US, help bridge the gap between high and low flows on the Colorado, but both are struggling to keep pace with the drawdown of the past 14 years. Again, inflows are limited, and outflows just keep coming.
The Bureau of Reclamation, which operates both reservoirs, announced on Friday that less than 10% of the normal allocation would be available from Lake Powell this water year (starting October 1st), the lowest amount since the reservoirs were first filling in the 1960s. This sets the stage for a legal "shortage" (also known as a "call") to be declared in the next couple of years, which kicks in provisions to cut off water to Arizona, California, Nevada, and Mexico. Arizona, last in line for water rights, loses supplies first, followed by Nevada and California. Arizona will rely on its banked groundwater, stored in the "good years" of high runoff. Las Vegas, which pulls supply from Lake Mead and discharges its treated wastewater into a tributary of the lake, will kick into gear a controversial plan to build a $7 billion pipeline to a groundwater resource in rural eastern Nevada, along the border with Utah. And California's farmers in the Imperial Valley, the largest consumers of Colorado River water, will have to be careful about taking only as much water as they've been allocated.
This can't be a surprise to those who've been paying attention, from the Bureau of Reclamation's farfetched feasibility study released last winter to the paper out of Scripps in 2008 that predicted a 50% chance that Lake Mead would be dry by 2021. Savvy water managers across the southwest have been preparing policies and working out deals for what to do when the inevitable water shortage hits. Thankfully this means resolution in a meeting room rather than in a court room. But let's hope that the public's eye doesn't forget this wake-up call if we have a particularly wet winter and seemingly resolve our troubles with plenty of water to go around. We had a very wet year in 2011, which increased Lake Mead around 40-50 ft, and Lake Powell around 50 ft. The problems did not go away; the "shortage" risk was merely delayed.

mandate for water
California had a few interesting outcomes from the elections a couple of weeks ago, when it comes to water. Most of these were local ballot initiatives, like the "Restore Hetch Hetchy" proposition I've talked about before. But one that's a little more subtle is that the state legislature will have a Democratic supermajority to accompany Democratic governor Jerry Brown's agenda for the next 2 years. Brown is a moderate Democrat, so he won't necessarily appeal to all Democrats, but he has set five near-term priorities:
Calibrating state rules and regulations so they don't discourage job creation and economic development
Continuing work on the state's high-speed rail project
Evaluating the state's education framework
Delivering a budget to the Legislature in January
Securing water reliability for the state
That last one is pretty interesting, considering that Gov. Brown has already issued the Bay Delta Conservation Plan, to build two massive tunnels to make deliveries to the Central Valley and Southern California more reliable. Plus, remember that huge ballot initiative to spend $11 billion on improving water resources across the state, the one that was shelved so Gov. Brown's education proposition would have more likelihood of success? Well, the Democrats could pass it now, to the chagrin of small-government Republicans across the state (but on that note, if you're a small-government Republican — let's be honest — you live in the wrong state).
The state legislative analyst recently projected lower budget deficits and future budget surpluses for the state, a first in a long time. You know what legislators, especially big spenders, will want to do with budget surpluses? Spend them! Let's hope that Gov. Brown's priorities lead to wise spending on projects that the state needs (and you can guess which issues I'm biased towards…).

sausage making in Sacramento
California has water issues. Let's start with the fact that most of the population lives in the south and most of the rain falls in the north. Add in the nation's richest agricultural region in the middle, and you've got a recipe for water battles. Most recently, the state government has been trying to pass water bond legislation for new dams and restoration of the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta (the Delta), the source of the controversial State Water Project which delivers water from NorCal to SoCal. The price tag of the bond is some $11 billion, making it larger than all previous water bonds, even the one that established the State Water Project 50 years ago.
Although the water bond has bipartisan support, it is actually opposed by groups on both ends of the political spectrum. It's a huge bill, which required tons of earmarks to acquire that bipartisan support. For example, it attempts to compromise between building large dams and employing groundwater storage, though in my technical opinion, the era for building large dams has passed. If the bill funds both types of projects, I would call that compromise by throwing more money at the problem…
Notably, the bill took a 2/3rds majority to pass in 2009, so that it could be put to a voter referendum in 2010. But it was postponed to 2012, in its original form, while the problems it was meant to address continued evolving and the politicians that wrote the bill and required its earmarks left office. The legislature just postponed the bond another 2 years so that the Governor's own tax and bond ballot initiative can take priority this fall (who would vote for two giant bonds for an already bankrupt state??).
At this point, I have to wonder if California has any hope of passing serious water legislation. If the legislators had 2/3rds on board to send the bond to the ballot, why couldn't they just vote on it themselves back in 2009? I'm betting 2/3rds did not want to stick their necks out on this controversial issue. Who thought voter initiatives were a good idea? They give the legislature the ability to punt issues to the less-well-informed public…and in the case of water, we need people who can get things done. This is where democracy isn't pretty.

if you build it, the water will come
I've mentioned before that Cadiz, Inc. is trying to get approval to extract groundwater from the Mojave desert near Cadiz to sell it to water agencies in southern California. The big part of their plan that left me confused was their plan to overextract the groundwater for 50 years, then allow the water table to recover for 50 years. Why not pump at the recharge rate, rather than at a rate at least 1.5 times the recharge rate? One obvious reason is to make money: 50,000 acre feet/year (AF/y) makes you a player in SoCal water resources; 5,000 AF/y does not.
I read through the Cadiz project's draft EIR (the whole document is nearly 3000 pages! that's crazy!), and their rationale is that they need to get the existing groundwater out of the way, so that they will have space for all the surface water that they're going to store in the aquifer. If you store water in the aquifer in its current state, it will just induce faster flow towards the dry lake basins, and much of the stored water will be lost to evaporation. But if you make the space for it, you can store as much water as you need, for an indefinite period. This phase of their project is "Phase II". Phase I was when they got about 10 smaller water agencies in southern California to sign on to buy the Cadiz water, if it's ever produced. So, who will store their water in the Cadiz aquifer? So far, no one.
There are a couple of reasons why no one has signed up. First of all, no one has extra water. It has been pretty darn dry of late, and climatologists suggest this is the trend for the future. Second, if Metropolitan Water District of SoCal (MWD) gets extra water from the Colorado River, they store it in Lake Mead, which has plenty of space right now (51% full at the moment). The Colorado Aqueduct already operates at full capacity, so they can't immediately deliver extra water even if they get it. Third, the State Water Project's supply from the Bay-Delta region is up in the air, due to endangered species issues for the delta smelt, and even if a peripheral canal of some sort is built, don't expect the other stakeholders in the California Aqueduct to go along with sending all the "excess" water towards water-hungry L.A. A fourth and final point is that in the first generation of this Cadiz project, geologists recognized naturally occurring arsenic and chromium in the Cadiz valley groundwater. Arsenic and chromium geochemistry is such that adding oxygenated surface water to the groundwater could, in fact, enhance mobilization of arsenic and chromium into the stored groundwater, making it toxic during storage, so that it would need expensive treatment before it could be delivered to customers. I certainly wouldn't want to bank my future water supply in that aquifer without a lot more study!
I'm a big proponent of water recycling and innovative water storage solutions, such as managed underground storage, but this project is not about sustainable water management — it's about money. And Cadiz, Inc. plans to make a lot of it by withdrawing a bunch of groundwater from a remote desert valley, regardless of whether phantom water deposits ever show up.

BREAKING: AOC Caught In Miami Beach As New York City Hits Record Coronavirus Cases, Report Says
December 30, 2021 3 min read John Galt
Democrat Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY) was reportedly caught in Miami Beach on Thursday evening as New York City was decimated by a record number of coronavirus cases.
National Review reported that, according to photographs obtained by the publication, Ocasio-Cortez was "seated outside Doraku Sushi and Izakaya in Miami Beach Thursday afternoon, raising a cocktail in one hand and checking her phone in another."
"New York smashed its single-day COVID case record for the second straight day Thursday, reporting at least 74,207 new positives as the omicron surge stretches hospitals further," NBC New York reported. "Meanwhile, hospitalizations continue to climb. "
#WheresAOC? Mask free… 👀🐊 pic.twitter.com/SuDDLSScjl
— Christina Pushaw 🐊 (@ChristinaPushaw) December 31, 2021
Ocasio-Cortez's decision to hangout in the red state of Florida amid the historic number of coronavirus cases in the city that she represents comes after she repeatedly attacked Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for briefly going to Cancun, Mexico, earlier this year as the state of Texas dealt with a storm crisis.
In one exchange with Cruz on Twitter, AOC responded to something that Cruz wrote by tweeting: "Ted, this is pretty rich coming from someone who fled their own home (and responsibilities) during an environmental crisis to cross the border and seek refuge in Mexico."
"Maybe Mexico shouldn't let YOU in the next time you try to run away from your job to sip umbrella drinks in Cancún," she continued.
In another tweet, AOC said that she cared that "it appears Texas was just a layover stop for him between Cancun and Orlando to drop a pack of water into someone's trunk and abandon his constituents again as they get slammed with $16,000 electrical bills."
AOC is often in the news for making absurd claims that run contrary to reality, like claiming that organized retail smash and grab jobs were not actually happening.
"A lot of these allegations of organized retail theft are not actually panning out," Ocasio-Cortez claimed without evidence in an interview with The Washington Times. "I believe it's a Walgreens in California [that] cited it, but the data didn't back it up."
In response, Walgreens told the Times that the problem "has evolved beyond shoplifting and petty theft to the sale of stolen and counterfeit goods online" and that "organized retail crime is one of the top challenges" that the company faces.
AOC's comments were so out-of-touch with reality that even the Biden administration publicly pushed back on her comments.
"Well, we don't agree," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said. "And I think our actions and the work that we have had in working with the Justice Department, the FBI, and federal law enforcement show that we take — we've seen some of these extremely video — extremely disturbing videos showing retail thefts in both major retailers — as well as state and local leaders, like Governor Newsom, have identified this as a serious concern."

Leave Babylon Now – Defeat the Death Worshippers
Leave Babylon Now – Defeat the Death Worshipers
By Anna von Reitz
What do you think Jesus was talking about when he threw the Money-changers out of the Temple? A "Synagogue of Satan"? –Jews who aren't Jews? When he rebuked the lawyers for not saving themselves and also for standing in the way and preventing others from entering into salvation?
Let those who have eyes, see. Let those who have ears, hear.
This, what we are experiencing, is nothing new. This has been "the problem" for literally thousands of years—bankers, Satanists, and lawyers– a trifecta of greed, evil, and protection of racketeering that endures because of our own ignorance.
What do you think it means, when you are told to "come out of Babylon"?
You have to leave the jurisdiction of Babylon— which is now and has always been the international jurisdiction of the sea.
This is where FDR plopped you and your Trade Name– both the "Vessel" and the "Cargo"– as of 1933.
Pretend you are in the middle of the Exodus movie, with the Egyptian chariots on one side and the Red Sea on the other, because that — whether you know it or not— is where you are. And the Egyptians are closing fast.
At the last moment, a pathway has opened up—- a narrow pathway out of Babylon.
Surely, we are out here fighting the good fight for you and for this whole country and everyone in it, but that may not be enough. Why?
Because the public records have been falsified and according to those false records you have signed on and agreed to live and die as a Babylonian.
Until you take control of your own name and your own estate and rebut these false records —-and choose to leave Babylon for your own reasons and under your own power—who has the right to move you?
Put another way, you have to hike up your own skirts and walk through the Red Sea all by yourself, even after the pathway is set before you.
We are doing all we can, but you need to take action for yourself, for your own family, to write your own names in the Book of Life (This is an illustration. Only God writes names in the Book of Life. Ed.)
Ever wonder what that means? Book of Life?
Does it help to know that all the entities inhabiting the international jurisdiction of the sea– that is, in Babylon– are DEAD?
Under the current scenario, you are listed as "dead, presumed missing" and three dead corporate entities — a Public Trust, a Public Transmitting Utility, and a Public ESTATE– are functioning "in your name" instead.
Babylon is a dead world and everyone in Babylon is dead. Not only that, they worship dead gods and gods of death. So when you elect to stay in Babylon, you are choosing to live as if you are already dead, to be counted among the dead, and to worship death.
So is Babylon where you want to be? Or do you want to record your name in the Book of Life and live it to the full?
The land is alive and its where we all live in truth and fact. Sailors may sail the sea and its endless, restless mirror of the sky, but it's not quite the same thing, is it?
When we record our Trade Names and establish our permanent domicile on the land and soil we are leaving Babylon behind, writing our names in the Book of Life (Illustration)—–the records of the land jurisdiction where we belong and where we live and breathe.
And who are the Clerks of the County, the Court, and the Land Recorder's Office?
They are the "Clerics"—- the High Priests and Priestesses keeping the records of your choices, in a religious system and a system of law that took shape thousands of years before the Egyptians
So where is your Name? Drifting around, listed as "missing, presumed lost at sea".
Your name literally is not written in the Book of Life (Illustration) — because it is not recorded among those people living on the land and soil of your country.
Many thousands of homeless people and refugees have already been rounded up and killed. Murdered. Burned. Drowned. It was easy for the monsters to do this, because according to the falsified public records, these people were already dead.
Why are these criminals doing these things? Simple. They are killing off their creditors to avoid paying their debts. The same thing they did in Nazi Germany.
We have reduced it down to the barest, simplest process to reclaim your political status and reinstate yourselves as living men and women. It's available for free on my website: www.annavonreitz.com. Look toward the bottom of the page for the article called "Editable PDFs".
Remember the Parable of the Wide and the Narrow Path?
Right now, those of you who are reading this, are on the Narrow Path out of Babylon. No doubt that those on the Wide Path are looking at you funny and laughing and insulting you and accusing you of all sorts of things, even as they do with me.
Shake off the dust, smile, and keep moving.
I have shared the monumental work of others who compiled "We, the Sheeple vs. USA" in hopes that you will share it with the doubters in your own families and among your own friends, to open their eyes and save them, too.
Jesus told us, Gandhi told us, JFK told us, MLK told us, the millions who died in all these senseless wars— they've all told us. And now you have first-hand testimony and accounts from three centuries-worth of famous people and public officials from around the world bearing witness to the same truth I am telling you.
These are all people who had no reason to lie.
People like Nathaniel Hawthorne and Mark Twain, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Frederick Douglas, Lysander Spooner, Congressmen Louis T. McFadden, Charles Lindbergh, General Douglas MacArthur, General Smedley Butler, General Omar Bradley, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Barry Goldwater, Voltaire, Mahatma Gandhi, Anna Akhmatova, George Orwell, C.S. Forester, G.K. Chesterton, E.B. White, Ayn Rand, Abraham Lincoln—and the list goes endlessly on.
It's time to leave Babylon. Place your names in the Book of Life (Illustration) — both in your Family Bibles and in the public records of the land jurisdiction. Don't wait any longer.
The Nazi Swastika is the reversed image of the Aryan symbol for life and good luck. The Swastika means death and bad luck. Literally. And that's exactly what they, the British perpetrators of the Second World War, fully intended for the German people who were deceived by Hitler. Yes, they were at the bottom of that pile of dog dung, too.
Hitler was a British Agent – Click Here
This is an example of how these people think and how they operate. They planned the Second World War in 1877. They chose the Swastika as the German emblem. They groomed Hitler every step of the way. They started the Reichstag Fire. They arranged the bombing of Pearl Harbor. They sent FDR as their representative to the Geneva Conventions of 1930, where he sold this country down the drain.
During the London Winter Olympics, I watched them in their neo-Druid robes marching silently around the giant effigy of a dead baby—and I knew exactly what it meant. They were placing a binding spell on the effigy—an effigy representing all the "dead babies" they had created on paper in America and Australia, in England and Scotland and Canada and Ireland, in France and in Germany, yes, throughout the world.
They were celebrating their lies and their fraud and their God of Death and their dedication to eternal war. They were sealing — they thought — their final victory, with a massive, solemn, public hexing ceremony akin to the witchcraft spell-binding rituals they used at Nazi political rallies.
They were doing it right in front of their intended victims, so arrogantly self-assured that we would never recognize what they were doing and never take action against them, that they broadcast the evidence of their evil to the whole world.
So, come out of Babylon, for its destruction is assured. Their "gods" are dead, in chains, or on the run. It's time to come out of the darkness, into the fresh wind and the bright spring sun.

Data Protection: Does the German Implementation Act (BDSG-E) undermine the GDPR?
As one of the first EU member states adapting the GDPR into national law, Germany is already in the final phase of its legislative process. A number of provisions of the draft law ("BDSG-E") seem to undermine the GDPR, raising concerns within the European Commission. If ratified as currently proposed, the German approach could significantly contradict the benefit of a fully harmonized framework for data protection in Europe.

Bizo's David Karel Discusses B2B Retargeting
Murray Newlands August 8, 2013
Murray NewlandsCEO at Murray Newlands
/ August 8, 2013
In the latest installment of Search Engine Journal's video series, SEJ's Murray Newlands is talking with David Karel of Bizo about the importance of business to business retargeting and how Bizo can help.
When we asked Dave why retargeting was important from a business-to-business standpoint, he told us, "retargeting is an important tactic for any marketer…and I think retargeting has finally started to hit the mainstream for the B2B marketer, and it's becoming, fundamentally it's a way of retargeting website traffic, in the world of website retargeting, to get that second chance to put your message or display ad or an offer in front of someone who you've already spent a lot of money throughout other channels to get to your website."
We also asked Dave about Facebook's role in retargeting, especially in the business-to-business side, to which he told us that Facebook has become a "hugely compelling B2B channel" because of its massive audience and ability to identify users for retargeting. Karel explained, "Traditionally Facebook has a huge audience, a huge inventory of display…in the summer when Facebook, last summer, had initially opened the Facebook exchange, what that did is it allowed the opportunity for marketers to target third party data on Facebook. So a company like Bizo, who has this unique business audience data, we now can help our customers' brands who are looking to reach, for example IT decision-makers and SMBs, we now can target very specific audiences, for example this IT decision-maker audience, when they're on Facebook."

Q: Is there any way to upload a folder(have subfolders also) instead of file using .netcore web api Is it possible to upload the entire folder with same folder structure using .netcore webapi. I know we can zip and upload, then unzip, just wondering for alternative way to upload as it is instead of zipping
Currently i have updated the controller as below, this logic doesnot consider folders for upload
    private async Task<bool> Import()
    {
        bool isSaveSuccess = false;
        string fileName;
        var files = Request.Form.Files;
        foreach (var file in files)
        {
            try
            {
                var extn = "." + file.FileName.Split('.')[file.FileName.Split('.').Length - 1];
                fileName = file.FileName + DateTime.Now.Ticks + extn;
                //fileName = Path.Combine(file.FileName, DateTime.Now.Ticks + extn);

                var pathBuilt = Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "Upload\\files1");

                if (!Directory.Exists(pathBuilt))
                {
                    Directory.CreateDirectory(pathBuilt);
                }

                var path = Path.Combine(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), "Upload\\files1", fileName);

                using (var stream = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Create))
                {
                    await file.CopyToAsync(stream);
                }
                isSaveSuccess = true;
            }
            catch
            {
                _logger.LogError("Request failed: " + "err");

            }
        }
        return isSaveSuccess;
    }

A: Yes, it should be possible. Have a look at webkitdirectory property: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLInputElement/webkitdirectory
This will let you select one or more folders, so you can iterate over the inner contents of the users selection. As you can see, this is a "native" feature and not limited to asp.net or c# in any way.
<input type="file" id="files" name="files" webkitdirectory multiple />

document.getElementById("filepicker").addEventListener("change", function(event) {
  let output = document.getElementById("listing");
  let files = event.target.files;

  for (let i=0; i<files.length; i++) {
    let item = document.createElement("li");
    item.innerHTML = files[i].webkitRelativePath;
    output.appendChild(item);
  };
}, false);

As you can see from the demo code, you can get the relative path by calling .webkitRelativePath, so yit should be no problem to recreate the folder structure on your target.
Be aware, that this feature is not natively available on Internet Explorer and Firefox versions on android below 50.
Update for saving files with subfolders
Here is a bare minimum example of uploading taking any number of uploaded form files and saving them to disk, while keeping the relative folder structure.
First change your controllers constructor to get a your current environment in:
private readonly IWebHostEnvironment _env;
public HomeController(IWebHostEnvironment environment)
{
   _env = environment;
}

Then amend your upload logic accordingly:
[HttpPost]
public async Task<IActionResult> Upload([FromForm] IFormFileCollection files)
{
   //target in wwwroot for static files
   string targetFolder = Path.Combine(_env.WebRootPath, "uploads");
   foreach (IFormFile file in files)
   {
      if (file.Length <= 0) continue;

      //fileName is the the fileName including the relative path
      string path = Path.Combine(targetFolder, file.FileName);

      //check if folder exists, create if not
      var fi = new FileInfo(path);
      fi.Directory?.Create();

      //copy to target
      using var fileStream = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Create);
      await file.CopyToAsync(fileStream);
   }
   return View("Index");
}

This will result to your folder and all its subfolders being saved into your wwwroot/uploads/ folder inside your application:
wwwroot/
|
|-uploads
        |-MyFolder
                 |- File1.jpg
                 |- File2.jpg
                 |- MyFolder2
                            |- File3.jpg

I'd recommend saving them somewhere different though, because redeploying might clean out the application folder first, depending on your deployment strategy (xcopy, github actions, azure pipelines, containers ...)

ROBERT PLANT PLANS TO SHARE HIS ARCHIVES POSTHUMOUSLY
PRPhotos.com
Robert Plant revealed he'll be allowing his unheard music to be released after he dies. Ultimate Classic Rock reported that the Led Zeppelin frontman spoke about his archives during the premiere episode of the fourth season of his Digging Deep podcast, and explained that he had time to sort through things during the pandemic.
Plant said, "I started putting my house in order. All the adventures that I've ever had with music and tours, album releases, projects that didn't actually get finished or whatever it is — I just put them, itemized them all, and put everything into some semblance of order. So I've completely changed the setup."
We went on to say, "I've told the kids, when I kick the bucket, open it to the public free of charge — just to see how many silly things there were down the line from 1966 to now. It's a journey."
Robert Plant maintains that the only way to stay relevant to himself, let alone an audience, is to constantly be moving and growing artistically: "I like to dig deep with the people I'm around. Wherever I might in whatever circumstances; and that's not just based on being a singer — that's based on living a life. I mean, I'm pretty much of a, kind of a, a kind of strange firework, all the way though my life. I'm whizzing around and I don't know which way I'm going to spring next. It really was quite a sobering revelation, really, to find that everything that I left behind was what I really cherish."
Robert Plant will undertake a seven-date UK mini-tour next month with his latest solo band, Saving Grace.

VHP protests shooting of Shah Rukh Khan's film "Raees" in Bhuj.
Intolerance row reaches to "Raees" shooting in Kutch; Shah Rukh Khan faces severe protests from Vishwa Hindu Parishad in Gujarat.
Raees Posters.
HENB | Ahmadabad | Feb 3, 2015:: Intolerance row reaches to "Raees" shooting in Kutch; Shah Rukh Khan faces severe protests from Vishwa Hindu Parishad in Gujarat. SRK's much anticipated film 'Raees' has fallen into some trouble in Gujarat. The actor flew to Gujarat recently to start with the film's 15-day schedule in Kutch and Ahmedabad. But, heaping resentments from the Hindus have been surfaced all around again.
According to available reports, the film's shoot has been opposed by the Vishva Hindu Parishad. The members of VHP aren't willing to let SRK shoot his film 'Raees' in Gujarat and have demanded the District Collector to cancel the film's shoot permit. The members expressed their objection by burning Shah Rukh Khan's film's posters. The protesters beaten up with shoes and peed on SRK's pictures.
Today, they protested outside the district Collector's office pressing for the same demand. They shouted slogans against the actor and also burnt and tore his posters.
"From the Collector's office they wanted to go to the place where the shooting is on, which is on the outskirts of the Bhuj city, but we have stopped them and dispersed them," Police Sub-Inspector (PSI) M B Parmar said.
"He should think, living in this country which gave him name, fame and riches; if he goes on speaking about non-existent intolerance, the VHP will never forgive," Gujarat VHP general secretary Ranchod Bharwad said.
"Today there is news that a Hindu temple was attacked and vandalised in Pakistan. Why are they not giving any statement on the intolerance there," he asked.
Returned to hotel under police protection.
The VHP members went further and threatened that if their demands were not accepted, they will pay cause turmoil on SRK's film's sets. By the looks of it, seems like Vishva Hindu Parishad hasn't yet forgiven Shah Rukh Khan for his intolerance comment against the majority of Indian citizens. The majority Hindus feel now disgusted with this highly paid Bollywood film actor who has earned his unaccountable wealth from his Hindu viewers in fact.
Shah Rukh Khan had entered the ongoing debate on intolerance on November 2 last year by expressing that there was "extreme intolerance" in the country.
Directed by Rahul Dholakia, the crime-drama, 'Raees' is set in the 1980s Gujarat. It is slated to release on Eid this year. The caption (subtitle) of this film "RAEES" as "BANIYE KI DIMAAG AUR MIYANBHAI KI DARING" has also been objected by the business class Gujarati society as the film wants to depict the Gujarati businessmen attached in the crime scene.
Earlier, the International working president of Vishva Hindu Parishad, Pravin Togadio had spoken on SRK and Aamir Khan's comment on Intolerance. "Both these actors do not have any love for their motherland otherwise they would not have made such unpatriotic remarks," he had said.
It is told the SRK starer Film "Raees" is to deal with the election menaces in the Gujarat politics around eighties. The film is dedicated to 'reopen' the flow of alcohol, drugs, black money, sex trade and muscle power in electioneering in Gujarat politics. Pakistani female star Mahira is also playing a vital role in this film with co-star Nawajuddin Siddique.

Nationwide has recommended that people coming to the end of their fixed-rate term on their mortgages ought to consider remortgaging to avoid a big increase in payments.
Between October and December, many two-year fixed-rate mortgages are set to switch to their standard variable rate, which Nationwide states is currently 7.75 per cent on average.
If borrowers do not switch, they could end up paying an extra £200 a month, the bank claims.
Nationwide allows borrowers to move to another of its offerings in the final three months of the fixed-rate term - without penalty.
"Those who prefer to avoid the unexpected may be thinking about fixing for a longer period," suggested Matthew Carter, director of mortgages at Nationwide.
"Since the Bank of England base rate has been rising we have seen a great deal of interest in our longer term deals, including our 25-year fixed-rate deal."
Last month, Nationwide announced a raft of rate reductions across its range of fixed-rate mortgage offerings.

What vacation renters really think about people's homes (via Seattle Times)
If you are in the short-term rental business, it's time to shift your mindset. It's time to think about your AirBnB as a business, and it has to be incredibly evident that you care about your guests' experience when they stay there.
Seattle Times recently published an article on this topic, and I was much obliged to give my two cents. The article covered my favorite topics: marketing your AirBnB and setting it up for success (or, read: guest comfort and satisfaction).
There is a multitude of things you can do to improve your reviews and your guests' overall experience. But before you can do that, you must get them there. And that's where the marketing comes in. Invest in a professional photographer and possibly even a videographer. What's your rental's story? What's the narrative? Tell it well, and then outfit your rental accordingly.
The second most important factor of your rental (following the quality of accommodations) is amenities. Splurge on nice sheets, a professional cleaning between stays (this one's a must), and other amenities that go along with the narrative of your rental. Is your rental near family-friendly activities? Then you'll want to include snacks, games, and other kid activities. Is your rental near a National Park? Then maybe you'll include a park map, picnic basket, and sunscreen or bug spray.
Ultimately, the important thing to remember is this: you are hosting a guest, whether you're present or not. What can you add to - or, much of the time, take away from (granny couch, dirty carpet, etc) - your rental to ensure your guests feel like they are being taken care of, even though you're not there?
Original Article By Kim Cook The Associated Press
If you're thinking of listing your home as a vacation rental, have a listen to what travelers say makes a space inviting and welcoming, and what's a turnoff.
For starters, amenities and cleanliness matter.
"I would have loved better sheets and towels as well as decent soap and amenities," says Carol VanderKloot of New York, who was underwhelmed by a recent Michigan rental.
Nice linens are mentioned often in online reviews. In a poll conducted by Airbnb this summer, travelers rating their vacation experience cared most about the quality of their accommodations, followed by amenities that are functional and thoughtful. So along with nice shampoo, consider a bottle of wine, a bicycle, scooter, sled or fully loaded beach bag.
A host in Los Angeles whose home is popular with young families stocks kids' books. In Milan, Italy, a host with a pool set up Bluetooth speakers outside.
Focus on potential guests' comfort, both in your décor and your marketing, says Peter Lorimer, a Los Angeles-based real estate expert.
He has teamed up with interior designer Genevieve Gorder on a new Netflix series, "Stay Here," in which they help homeowners refurbish and redecorate their spaces to make them more attractive to visitors.
"Massively bad for repeat business is dirt," he warns. "After every guest there needs to be a cleaning plan. Look at this as an investment in your business; if a restaurant is dirty you'll never go back, and it's the same with short-term rental."
Gorder notes that everyone has different standards for tidiness, so it's best to go pro. "It has to look, feel and be CLEAN," she says. "That means having a professional service handle your rental before and after each guest checks out. Your reviews will skyrocket and that's worth its weight in gold."
Get rid of stained or worn carpeting, refinish wood flooring, and lay fresh tile or new rugs. Provide several good mirrors, as well as storage, and a folder or notes on how to operate things. As Lorimer points out, "the last thing any guest wants is to try and figure out how to use the TV remote or turn the ceiling fan on and off."
Consider including "insider" suggestions for what to do and where to go in the area. Displaying some local photography or artwork might pique curiosity and help you build a relationship with nearby shop owners.
Lorimer suggests drawing up a calendar of fun local events and posting it with your listing. Consider an incentive gift for longer stays, like a gift certificate for a local restaurant, or lift tickets at the ski hill.
Gorder warns against the "junk drawer" effect, where owners try to save by kitting out their rentals with dated furniture and hand-me-downs.
And keep the décor relatively neutral.
"Owners tend to decorate for themselves and how they live instead of for their guests," she says.
"Home is in many ways a reflection of our most intimate selves. When you turn a property or a room in your home into a short-term rental, it's time to shift your thinking." The key is finding a balance: a space that's neither too personal nor impersonal.
Renters differ about how much personal style they like in a space. VanderKloot enjoyed an array of vintage radios displayed on a shelf in a Michigan home, but appreciated not having kitschy décor in a rental in New Orleans. "The Scandinavian interior in that rental was a perfect counter-palette to the excess of [the city]," she says.
In an apartment in Copenhagen, New Yorker Darby Drake says she would have appreciated some personal touches. "What turned me off most was how bland everything was. It didn't quite feel 'lived-in,'" she says.
Invest in a standout piece or two, if you can. Drake fondly recalls a big, comfy, cowhide lounge chair in a different Copenhagen rental, as well as another great piece: "There was this massive gray bean-bag lounger that was wonderful. After a long day exploring the city, it was great to be enveloped by it."
The lounger wasn't shown in the online photos, Drake says. And that could have been a missed opportunity.

'Stay Here' Co-Host Peter Lorimer on the Netflix Home-Renovation Hit
I recently spoke with TV insider about some behind-the-scenes details of Stay Here and my tips and tricks associated with owning and operating an AirBnB. Our conversation ran the gamut--from how we chose the property owners down to working with the amazing Genevieve Gorder.
Written by Scott Fishman, TV Insider. For original article click HERE.
Since Netflix's series Stay Here dropped in August, co-host Peter Lorimer has gotten feedback from short-term rental owners who have applied tips from the show and turned their own struggling properties into profitable ventures.
The streaming service's new foray into home reno sees the music producer-turned-entrepreneur and real-estate expert hitting the road with interior designer Genevieve Gorder to transform unique listings across the United States.
Here, the Brit transplant answers burning questions from filming the show and gives insight into taking advantage of the bustling Airbnb business.
Tell me about some of the success stories you've heard.
Peter Lorimer: There have been a lot of people reaching out saying similar stories to this: "Thank you so much. You've given me and my husband to get off our derriere and do the work. We've turned our potting shed into a small little Airbnb guest unit now, and we're making x amount now. Thank you so much."
I've got hundreds of those. The other one I get hit with every single day is: "Thank you so much for sharing all the secrets of the business through these tips because it was such a mystery to us. And in the end, you broke it down in a really digestible way."
People are taking those principles and applying it to their businesses and getting a return on their investments. So, "happy day," as they say in England.
How did you go about choosing the properties throughout the United States? What criteria had to be met in choosing the ones we see on the series?
We spent three or four months going through loads and loads of properties. We had a ton of properties and a short list of, we'll say 40 around the United States.
Through those we whittled them down to the eight that made the show. The criteria were the stories all had to be one-thousand-percent genuine. This doesn't make them bad shows, but there are ones that are kind of helped along. Our show, everything was completely raw. We wanted to show genuine stories with the people in them, which is why I think a lot of them were so touching. Case in point was the people in Seattle. That wasn't actually the first episode we shot. It just ended up being the lead on the series, because I think the story was so strong.
All of the people that owned the properties had to put significant money in. It wasn't like the TV company came in and paid for everything at all. And in the case of at least half of them, it was touch-and-go. If it had gone horribly wrong, it would have been pretty catastrophic for them. Thankfully, everybody we worked with after we finished have gone severely into profit. Thank goodness for that.
That is the common misconception, that the production just went in there spending all this money. They basically have to go all in to make this work.
I think that was one of the most important ingredients of the show. If someone is getting their house completely renovated for free, there isn't any fear. For some of these homeowners, it's like when the circus comes to town. We come on a Monday and leave on a Friday. All of this work, and renovation and hammer-swinging, chainsaws go through their property. Then we are done on a Friday. Obviously, there is weeks of planning, so when we do roll up, we knew exactly what was going to happen.
With Gordy (Episode Four: Brooklyn Brownstone), you watch him in the beginning of the episode closely. He was kind of cagey and guarded. He was like, "What the heck is going on? I'm not sure if you need to do this." Then, at the end of the episode his shoulders drop, he realizes we are going to deliver, and he essentially breathes a sigh of relief, because if things had gone wrong, that would have been famously catastrophic for him.
I think what is also great about the show is that you're not only, "Hey, go somewhere else for a few days and come back to a new place." These owners are heavily involved in the process.
Someone gave me a phrase a long time ago. They said to me, "When it comes to business, food always tastes better with friends." So, when it's a collaborative effort. When everyone has their thumbprint on this business, because that is essentially what this is. It is a small, independent business that may be an extension of one person's personal home or an investment property. It is a small micro-hotel where they are the GM of their own small business.
I think it's not only the right thing to do, but I think it would be unnatural to just kind of send them away and bring them back for the reveal. We wanted them to see what we were doing every step of the way so that not only the owners of the property could see it, but also our audience can go on that journey with them.
You mention all the owners are making a profit, but are there any plans to do a "Where are they now?" check-in with these folks?
It is the very same question I asked before we started the series. I think that the producers, George and Will, who I love, what they wanted to do for Season 2, which isn't confirmed yet — but we are all crossing our fingers and toes on it — we would potentially begin Season 2 with a "What Happened in Season 1?"
The viewers got to see you and Genevieve immerse yourself in these settings. Like you going to New York for the first time and seeing the Biggie Smalls mural and how much that meant to you. What was it like working together as you journeyed across the country?
I got very lucky with Genevieve, because she is a veteran of television. She was very kind and sweet. Obviously, she knows her stuff inside and out. She is extraordinarily talented. Moreover, she was a really good mate to be on the road with. After we finished, we'd hang out off the set.
We couldn't be more different. Genevieve comes from this design and very Americana world. I come from the world of house music and business and ROI and short-term rentals for a lot of celebrity clients here in L.A. We were essentially worlds apart, but I think my yin complimented her yang. I think that is why the chemistry was so great and why it worked.
If there is a Season 2, what are some places you want to go or see as a market of untapped potential? Would you want to take the show international?
Netflix, as you know, we love them, but they haven't told us what their intentions are. We have spoken about an international season, which I feel is a no-brainer.
On a personal level, I would like to go to some markets that have emerged, but they aren't fully at the top of the profit margin yet. Places like Nicaragua. There is some room left in Bali.
There are lots of areas of Europe now that could make it a potentially a good buy because Europe is suffering from the whole Brexit thing. It's sending shockwaves through a lot of European markets, but I firmly believe in the real investor that when the market is in a bit of a spiral. You wait for it to drop.
I think one of the worst mistakes one can make is waiting to find the bottom. No successful investor I've worked with has bought right from the bottom and sold right at the top. You buy when it has gone down enough, and you believe the elevator will go back up past the point you bought significantly.
I feel a lot of Europe is like that right now, because I think Brexit will ultimately at some point get repealed, or/and Europe will stabilize again, thus the market would begin to rally. At that point you've bought a great investment. You can charge great rents that will put you significantly into profit.

Reasons we're head over heels for Trader Joe: snacks, savings and cauliflower gnocchi.
Yes, you read that correctly: Our go-to grocery store carries a low-carb version of our favorite Italian indulgence.
Traditionally made with potatoes and flour, this version swaps in cauliflower and cassava flour to cut the carbohydrates in half. The result? Pillowy-soft pasta dumplings at a mere 130 calories (and 22 grams of carbs) per serving. All that for about $3 per package? Cue happy dance.
We just can't quit you, Joe.

ZSPLIT: SoCal - eataduckimust meets rasamalaysia! — Eat a Duck I Must!
When we arrived our first order of "business" on ZSPLIT was to spend the day with the fabulous Bee of RasaMalaysia.com. We first "met" Bee a couple years ago after our trip to Penang (the first part of our ZSAT trip) where we ate endlessly and sweated profusely. Little did we know that this mega food blogger was also from Penang and we quickly bonded over Jared's and my first ever experience eating assam laksa, currently named the 7th most delicious food in the world by CNNGo. I do not disagree!
Over the years we've become good friends and worked on some mini "projects" together. (Please excuse my need to use quotation marks so frequently is this post... but they seem to make sense!). Back in 2009, we guest posted for Bee unveiling Jared's aunt's super secret awesome recipe for crispy pork belly (people of the internet, you're welcome). And earlier this year we helped her photograph 3 ingredient shots for her upcoming cookbook Easy Chinese Recipes. And this time, Bee asked us to head on over to SoCal and hang out with her for a day for our third project together.

Oh and we couldn't resist putting together a tiny blooper/baby G reel. Enjoy!!

Freeland Orchestra
Rehearsing in Stanton Harcourt,
Near Witney, Oxfordshire
If you'd like to try the orchestra, come along with no obligation to do anything other than enjoy yourself and play a few notes!
Please contact the conductor before coming to ensure there is music available for you.
We would be happy to hear from any percussionist who has their own instruments, particularly timpani!
An ability to read rhythms and a good sense of timing are essential.
"Joining the Freeland Orchestra on a maternity cover position has been for me a brilliant reconnection with orchestral playing. Even during the first rehearsal, I was part of the orchestra and it was clear everyone is there because they love what they do and are comfortable in the setting.
As the conductor, Wendy's musicality, clear direction and focus on detail brings out the best in the players whilst not creating an environment of pressure.
I wanted to thank Wendy for the opportunity of playing and reminding me just how much I love orchestral playing. Also the orchestra for being themselves; a group of absolute individuals from all walks of life who just enjoy getting together to create this things we call music."

BIRD OF THE WEEK: August 25, 2017 SCIENTIFIC NAME: Athene cunicularia
POPULATION: 2 million
TREND: Decreasing
HABITAT: Open areas with sparse vegetation, such as prairie, pastures, or desert. Adapts to similar areas created by human activity, such as golf courses and airports.
In some parts of the American West, the long-legged Burrowing Owl is known as the "howdy owl." These endearing raptors allow people to closely approach and will even nod an apparent greeting to human visitors.
True to their name, Burrowing Owls live underground, usually in a burrow taken over from a prairie dog, ground squirrel, or tortoise. They sometimes use natural rock cavities and human-made spaces. The owls may even dig burrows themselves in areas of soft or sandy soil.
Threats to the Burrowing Owl include habitat loss, pesticide use, and prairie dog eradication programs, which limit suitable burrowing habitat. Many are also killed in collisions with cars.
Widespread Owl
Like the Short-eared Owl, the Burrowing Owl is widespread throughout the Americas, with up to 21 subspecies recognized. They range from southern Canada through southern Mexico and western Central America; are found in Florida and many Caribbean islands; and are widely distributed in South America from southern Brazil to Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego.
Birds that breed in Canada and the northern United States usually migrate south to Mexico and the southern U.S. during winter months, but most Burrowing Owls are year-round residents.
Keeping the Larder Supplied
Unlike more "typical" owls such as Northern Spotted Owl and Short-eared Owl, Burrowing Owls are often active during the day. Still, they do most of their hunting from dusk until dawn, when they can use their night vision and acute hearing to great advantage. They prey on insects — grasshoppers, crickets, moths, and beetles — and mammals such as mice, voles, and shrews. Long legs enable this unusual owl to pursue its quarry on foot as well as in flight.
Burrowing Owls cache food, stashing it in their burrows to ensure an adequate supply during the nesting season. When prey is abundant, their underground larders can contain several hundred items!
Burrowing Owl at nest, by Alan Wilson
The female is larger than the male in most owl species, but both sexes of Burrowing Owl are similar in size and appearance. Pairs nest in close proximity, often in loose colonies.
Burrowing Owls line the entrance to their burrows with cattle dung. This behavior masks the birds' scent from potential predators and attracts beetles and other large insects, providing easy prey for young owls when they first leave the burrow.
Benefiting from BirdScapes
Burrowing Owls are found in ABC's Northern Great Plains BirdScape, where they benefit from ABC's work for one of its flagship species, Long-billed Curlew. These conservation efforts include retaining and enhancing native habitats, managing livestock grazing to restore and improve grasslands, and minimizing the use of pesticides to maintain invertebrates as a food source.
ABC is also working with partner Pronatura Noreste to implement land stewardship practices in the El Tokio and Valles Centrales Birdscapes, where Burrowing Owls also occur.
These Mexican BirdScapes provide essential wintering habitat for the curlew and other grassland species such as Mountain Plover and Sprague's Pipit, as well as sheltering Worthen's Sparrow, a resident bird listed under the Alliance for Zero Extinction.

Q: Gradle: How to manage circular dependency on a testing-utility I'm in the process or setting up an automated build-test-publish cycle for my Java project with Gradle and Jenkins. AppTestFramework is a utility that I've written for recording, scripting, and replaying tests. It has some compile-time dependencies on App. App's JUnit tests in turn run tests using the AppTestFramework.
App's build.gradle:
dependencies {
  ...
  testCompile("org.kylewm:AppTestFramework:latest.integration")
}

AppTestFramework's build.gradle:
dependencies {
  compile("org.kylewm:App:latest.integration")
}

I don't know if I should describe this as a circular dependency exactly because I could split it up into three projects:

*

*App

*AppTestFramework depends on App

*AppUnitTests depends on App, AppTestFramework

I'd prefer to keep them as separate projects. If they have to be subprojects of another build.gradle, that would be OK, though I'd like to avoid it if I have any alternatives. Thanks!

A: Devil's advocate: why do you want to have them as separate projects, if the code is tightly coupled?
One solution could be to keep one single project but produce several JARs so that other projects can import app.jar and app-testsupport.jar
