Headaches are not fun, and migraines are another level of awful. Living with either of these issues can make you feel grumpy, and in the worst-case scenario, leave you unable to function. Medication can help in the short term, but when the problem is ongoing or re-occurring, pills are not enough. Oftentimes, the source of your headaches and migraines is structural, and therefore with proper treatment it is possible to permanently overcome this debilitating issue. Headache relief at our Baltimore chiropractic clinic may be the solution your looking for.
Whether you are dealing with a persistent ache in your head, or the worst symptoms associated with migraines, including light and noise intolerance, nausea, vomiting, hallucinations, depression, and irritation the cause may be a structural issue. When the spine moves out of position because of developmental issues, trauma, repetitive stress, and other incidents, it can put pressure on the surrounding nerves. When the nerves are compressed or irritated, they send a message to the muscles of the back, neck, and jaw to tighten.
This tightness can lead directly to an acute headache or migraine. Over time the tightness can also pull your bones out of alignment leading to more persistent headaches and migraines. A headache or migraine can be a sign that there are deeper problems arising in your spinal column, and because every other system in your body is impacted by your spinal health, it is very important to deal with these issues when the signs begin to arise.
Chiropractic care has a long history of successfully treating headaches and migraines. Chiropractors have an extensive understanding of subtle issues occurring in the spine which, due to its connection with the nervous system, is very often the source of pain. A chiropractic treatment starts with a thorough evaluation that will rule out other possible causes of your headache and examine your spine for issues of misalignment.
The assessment will determine the exact type of treatment that is necessary for the specific issue at the root of the pain. Using gentle and non-invasive techniques a chiropractor is able to achieve adjustments to the spine that, although they may seem subtle, can provide almost instant relief and restore your long-term health. Unlike medications which treat the problem on the surface level and provide only short-term relief, a chiropractic adjustment will address the cause of your headache or migraine and provide lasting results that will improve your quality of life.
If you are struggling with migraines or headaches call our team at Living Wellness Chiropractic today for help.

Hebrew, Greek, & Anglo Saxon Mss from Corpus Christi College Oxford in NYC
The Center for Jewish History in NYC is currently showing an exhibit of Hebrew, Greek, and Anglo-Saxon manuscripts from Corpus Christi College, Oxford, celebrating its quincentenary. This is the first time Hebrew, Greek and Anglo-Saxon manuscripts and other objects (e.g. the crozier of the founder of the College, Bishop Richard Fox) have crossed the pond.
Corpus has the 'most important collection of Anglo-Jewish manuscripts in the world', says the PR and worth seeing are survivors from pre-Expulsion era manuscripts of Hebrew and Latin, one a private 12th-century Ashkenazi siddur (book of daily prayers), thought to be the oldest extant anywhere, that was owned by a Sephardic Jew from the Iberian Peninsula who emigrated to England and wrote notes on his business dealings in Judeo-Arabic. There is a 13th-century manuscript of Samuel and Chronicles that was used by Christians to learn Hebrew, and two of the oldest manuscripts of Rashi in the world. There is also a version of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, a Langland, a version of Wycliffe's translation of the Bible and other notable manuscripts.
The 1611 Authorized Version of the Bible, also known as the KJV is arguably the most important translation of the Bible into English. The college's role in the creation of the King James Version is a key part of its history, which is represented here by handwritten notes. John Rainolds, the president of Corpus Christi, first proposed the Bible's creation to King James and led one of the six committees that produced it. This manuscript records notes from the translators of the King James Bible by John Bois. The notes run to thirty-nine pages and are the only record of some of the deliberations and preferences of the translators. It is a record of the sheer diligence of the translators, comparing, discussing and consulting authorities. The Preface to the Translation explains this work of revision. 'Neither did we disdain to revise that which we had done, and to bring back to the anvil that which we had hammered: but having and using as great helps as were needful, and fearing no reproach for slowness, nor coveting praise for expedition, we have at the length, through the good hand of the Lord upon us, brought the work to that pass that you see'.
This (Corpus Christi Ms 207) is a royal genealogy in Middle English for all the medieval kings of England from Adam and Eve to Edward IV (1433-83). It was written and illuminated in England probably in Winchester or London 1467-69.
Below is a page from The Lapworth Missal. Misal, Use of Sarum. England, dated 1398. The Lapworth Missal, with its 14th-century illustration of the crucifixion, "is the most artistically significant item in the exhibit—and the gold is spectacular" according to the catalog.
You have until August 6th 2017 to catch this remarkable display.

Unorthodox Repurposing of Hotel Spaces to Create New Profit Centers
Stephen Darling
A Case Study of the Centrepoint Mediation and Arbitration Centre in Kamloops, BC
As a veteran hospitality consultant working out of Vancouver, British Columbia, I'm privy to some very interesting cases and projects throughout the Northwest that require highly creative solutions. Here is one instance that ended up a triumphant success because it creates an entirely new revenue stream for the property – one that would be foreign to most hoteliers.
One of my client hotels in Kamloops, BC had a 5,000 square foot street-facing, corner restaurant that was 'past its prime' and losing $500k per year. Initial triage meant closing the restaurant and consolidating meal service into the lobby lounge – after giving it a facelift. That was the easy part. While the primary goal was to cut the losses and lease out the now derelict space, after four years, we still hadn't yet found a suitor for the lease.
It was time for 'Plan B'. We created a wellness centre concept that included a fresh brand with central reception/washrooms and entry. The intent here was to lease the space out to four or five entrepreneurs, but the numbers didn't add up and that concept was quickly shelved.
Time for 'Plan C'. One of our owners had the idea of a mediation and arbitration center. While it first sounded like a stretch, we retained a university graduate who had just completed his master's degree in tourism research. His three-month assignment involved assessing and documenting regional demand, potential viability of such a business, potential tenants, its scope, details required in such a specialized facility and a handsome incentive payable for leased space.
As we were researching the concept, we lucked out. British Columbia's Attorney General announced a strong commitment to funding and growing mediation and arbitration in order to reduce burden on the courts. It was now written into law for certain types of civil cases, whereby some form of mediation or arbitration was mandatory before the disputes could even be presented to the courts. Then more unexpected news: Family Mediation Services – a mere one block away – needed additional meeting facilities due to a new law requiring an independent opinion on all separations or divorces involving minor children.
The overarching objective for us was to attract wholly new business to the hotel and to the city – especially in the fall, winter and spring seasons – rather than steal business from the competition which would result in a race to the bottom of the rate ladder. Ultimately, the goal was to create incremental rooms revenue – the core profit engine of most hotels.
At the outset of this 'Plan C', we identified 32+ public and quasi-public agencies plus other organizations in the province that would use such a facility. At the time, there were only three such facilities in the province located in the major cities of Vancouver and Victoria. Further, those facilities didn't offer the scope of custom-planned space and services that we were capable of providing through the adjacent hotel.
Our researcher looked at global best practices for mediation centers to identify the essential features plus competitive attributes required so that we could become the market leader that would draw business to the facility. Given the emotional stress inherent to mediations and arbitrations, we learned that participants living outside big cities would feel more relaxed if they didn't have to drive into an urban environment. Kamloops, as a city of approximately 100,000, was the ideal size. Moreover, as it is situated in the mountainous interior of the province, Kamloops was the perfect 'neutral territory'. Adding to this was that smaller towns meant lower costs for hotel accommodations – an attractive offer for consumers that we promoted heavily.
To get the ball rolling, we found a tenant whose primary business was court reporting. Part of the space was leased out to them which created a nucleus and momentum for further services to view us in a legitimate light as well as a hard to duplicate attribute for the property. From there, the concept of Centrepoint was born (www.centrepointbc.ca).
Refurbishing a space for mediation and arbitration comes with specific stipulations, though. Critical items that had to be included are multiple entries/exits, natural daylight and variable lighting, the highest level of acoustical integrity, high-definition video conferencing, individual climate controls, ease of hot and cold beverage access, and 'on-demand' foodservice. Through local recruitment, we were able to find a manager with a BCOM degree, private banking background and experience in project marketing – all perfectly suited to the facility's specialized needs.
Centrepoint thus became a concept that was created as a freestanding business which, once refined and proven, could be transported to other locations. By the fifth month of operation, the business was breaking even and generating synergistic business for the adjacent hotel. While initial room nights were trending at 10-25 nights per month, the property's function space previously used for such events was now being used for larger events, with a higher profit margin and generation of yet more new rooms business which in turn lead to incidental spending and flow-through.
Many small details, such as how to keep lunches fresh, soups hot and beverages flowing without interrupting the meetings, were crucial to the formula for this success. Unlike a hotel, the absence of visible service was also required. Specialized serving wares, multiple self-serve beverage stations, lumbar-support chairs, secure high speed WiFi, panic buttons, password-controlled wireless printers, acoustical baffles in the ventilation ducts and covert security cameras all composed these details that led to the facility's success.
The hardest challenge was explaining to lawyers, mediators and related professionals what was being created and why it would lead to a superior experience that would facilitate faster and less stressful resolutions. During the opening launch and 'product awareness' phase, a partnership with the local Thompson Rivers University's law faculty brought in some healthy and immediate returns. This relationship worked to bolster recognition as well as provide referrals via faculty members and the affiliation. It acted much like a third-party stamp of approval so that lawyers and mediators would see us as a legitimate option.
In this case, an 'if you build it, they will come' motto actually worked. It turns out we hit the jackpot as there was a vastly underserved market for mediation and arbitration centers in British Columbia, which are on neutral ground and supported by professional hospitality services.
Another stone that was 'turned over' twice revealed a distinct need for serviced offices. While we had thought that most road warriors nowadays simply work on their laptops in hotel rooms, with three significant infrastructure projects on the drawing boards we recognized a growing demand for such spaces. As a result of these findings, two 225-square-foot offices were built. Centrepoint also sweetened the deal with introductory offers that included pool and fitness access plus secure underground parking.
All told, this auxiliary effort resulted in impressive bookings from a broad spectrum of non-traditional clientele, including 'work from home' technical consultants in need of meeting spaces. Advertising for these serviced offices opened the hotel's doors to new, previously unreached demographics. Working in tandem with the tactics to build awareness amongst lawyers and mediators, targeting consultants helped 'fill the gaps' at Centrepoint so that it was continually in the black.
Into its sixth month of operation, the feedback from the legal and related communities has been outstanding. One lawyer from the Maritimes was overheard saying that he felt like he was meeting in a sleek Madison Avenue office rather than in the mountains on the West Coast. A leading mediator mentioned that the facilities were the most conducive he has ever used and a catalyst to achieving an acceptable outcome for the parties involved. The differentiating factor here was adding professional hospitality to high-stress meetings as a means to facilitate resolutions and keep as much out of the court system as possible.
There has also been a marked 'ripple effect' of incidental spending, resulting in a significant uptick for other revenue streams like the restaurant and lounge as well as underground parking. Basically, Centrepoint has created more general activity throughout the hotel and its patrons are feeding into all other aspects of the property. It's now a true center of commerce and not just a place for heads in beds. Even if the mediation and arbitration participants are local, the hotel's other business streams still benefit in more ways than one.
The initial aim for this venture was to find a use for an empty space. For this, the property passed in flying colors. The hotel now benefits by having a stable, established tenant in addition to one that created a symbiotic relationship with the year-round occupancy bolstered by arbitration parties and the abovementioned 'ripple effect'.
Everyone wins, So the next time one of your ancillary revenue streams is faltering, you don't always have to turn to F&B or spa for the answer. My hope is that you will learn from this unorthodox example and apply it to your own property's unique situation and circumstances. Try a more create approach to further differentiate your property and, hopefully, maximize profits.

USF St. Petersburg Takes First Step To Add New Residence Hall
WUSF Public Media - WUSF 89.7 | By Mark Schreiner
USF St. Petersburg
USF St. Petersburg's University Student Center, the campus' second student residence hall, opened in 2012. It may soon be joined by another hall as early as August 2019.
The goal, according to school officials, is for USF St. Petersburg to have 10,000 students enrolled by 2025. But to turn the campus from a commuter school to one where students live and study is going to take the addition of residence hall beds - a lot of them.
The school is taking steps towards the addition of a new residence hall by seeking out a suitor who will finance and build a facility under a public-private partnership (P3).
Currently, conditions on USFSP are cramped to say the least.
Figures from the university show housing occupancy is at 130%, with almost 700 students occupying two residence halls and rooms rented by the University in a nearby Hilton.
As designed, Resident Housing One, which opened in 2006, and the University Student Center, which opened six years later, are meant to house a total of 550 students.
"We're tripling (occupancy) rooms and doing the best we can to accommodate students," USFSP Regional Chancellor Sophia Wisniewska said. "We are at our maximum."
USFSP's 10-year Master Plan Update unveiled last year aims at meeting projected needs by having 1,400 beds - a total addition of 850 beds - and 30,000 square feet of dining space at USFSP by 2025.
"So I think once this project is completed, we will be looking to the future for the next phase as well," Wisniewska said.
"I think having more residential students will not only increase our enrollment goal, but it will significantly enhance the campus life experience for students," she added. "I think that will lead directly to greater retention and graduation rates, which is job number one for us."

Preliminary artist rendering of the new USF student housing village currently under development on the Tampa campus.
The P3 that will finance and build the hall would be similar to one entered into with developer Capstone-Harrison for the $133 million housing village under development on USF's Tampa campus.
"The (Florida) Legislature feels that colleges and universities should be in a business of education, not housing, and the debt for housing should be absorbed not by the state, but by private entities," Wisniewska said. "So I think a P3 is more feasible than a bonding option for us."
A project concept designed for the university by program management firm Brailsford & Dunlavey also suggests the addition of more on-campus parking, including the expansion of a seven-story parking garage across from the planned residence hall site on 6th Avenue South, between 3rd and 4th Street South.
The plan to begin searching for a private partner was approved by the USF Board of Trustees during a meeting last Thursday.
According to a timeline in the conceptual plan, the goal is to have potential partners submit their plans by the end of March 2017, with a selected partner being approved by the Trustees at their meeting scheduled for June 1.
The hope is that the State University System Board of Governors would sign off on a new partner when it holds its regular meeting later that month on USF's Tampa campus. Such approval is required before USF can enter into an agreement.
Construction would then begin in May 2018, with the hall being opened for students at the start of the fall semester in August 2019.

Keohane etc.) paid special attention to the globalization process, the creation of the united economic, informational, cultural and social space, as well as spreading the West's democratic values

Q: python tkinter button set variable to false I don't really know to set a variable by pressing a button in python. For example:
done = False
...
range_button = Button(self.parent, text="start", command=lambda....
...
while done:
     .....

But i don't really know how to do something like this in python, any help?

A: There's nothing special about doing this with Tkinter -- if done is a global variable (or an instance variable) just set it to whatever value you want. The important part is, it must be a non-local variable.
range_button = Button(..., command=stop_loop)

def stop_root():
    global done
    done = True

def something_else():
    global done
    while !done:
        ...

Strictly speaking, you don't need the global done statement in the function with the loop, since that function isn't changing the value of the variable. However, I think it makes the intent of your code a little more evident.

Every Wednesday morning before dawn, Ruby Jackson arrives at the American Red Cross Tri-County Chapter office, in Reading, Berks County. There she picks up a roster, a set of van keys, and starts out on a journey.
She carefully weaves her van along the narrow, winding city streets to arrive at the first stop. She gets out to help an elderly gentleman board and assists him with his seat belt. As she gets back into the driver's seat, she looks in the rearview mirror and asks, "You ready?" With a nod from her rider, she's off to the next address on her sheet.
Ruby, along with twelve other volunteers, ensure that veterans in the Berks County area have a ride to get to their medical appointments at the Lebanon VA Medical Center. Many of the riders do not have transportation of their own and would have no way of getting to their needed appointments.
The service is provided five days a week and is free of charge. In addition to providing a ride to a medical appointment, the time spent in travel provides veterans social time with others that understand them and can relate to their prior life experiences.
Any veteran who rides the program at least once during the year is eligible to receive a holiday food basket, given out in December. Community members and organizations generously donate goods to be given out.
This program has been running in Berks County for 30 years. They have a list of veteran's over 450 and counting that rely on this needed service.
Compassion, Collaboration, Creativity, and Commitment are values that are essential to the continued success of the American Red Cross. Thanks to Ruby and her fellow volunteers, these values are put into action daily for our country's veterans.
Know of a Berks County veteran that needs help getting to their appointment at the VA Medical Center in Lebanon? Call 610-375-4383 today.

The people at Moog Music have topped themselves once again with another addition to their Moogerfooger line. The MF-105M MIDI MuRF is a combination of the MF-105 MuRF and the MF-105B Bass MuRF, featuring the same CV (control voltage) inputs offered on other models but with the expanded capabilities of MIDI. The MuRF (which stands for "multiple resonance filter array") is an analog effect unit that features eight resonant band-pass filters with individual gain controls, along with an Animation section for modulating the filters by means of Mix, Envelope, Patterns and Rate knobs. The frontpanel controls are rounded out by a Drive control to adjust the input volume of the signal and an Output control. On the back panel there is a MIDI In, Audio In, Audio Left/Mono and Right outputs, plus an array of CV inputs, including Tap/Step (for tempo input), LFO/Sweep, Rate, Mix, and Envelope.
The MIDI MuRF provides both the Mid filter bands of the MuRF and the Bass filter bands of the Bass MuRF, and the eight frequency bands change when you switch modes. In both modes, all bands are resonant. In Mids mode, all are band-pass, but in Bass mode the first filter acts as a low-pass with a cutoff at 110Hz (to allow bass players to achieve lower frequency ranges) while the rest are band-pass. The other seven resonant filters offer frequency ranges from 160Hz to 1800Hz. This mode is not just for bass players, though—guitarists can utilize it as well, especially those who downtune. I found this mode useful when playing lower notes, as it allowed the higher ones to be less colored by the effect.
In Mids mode, all eight bands act as resonant filters, with frequency ranges of 200Hz to 3400Hz. This mode is not only useful for guitar, but for other instruments such as synthesizers and voice. Any instrument with a strong midrange will benefit from the rich harmonics of this mode. The Filter Matrix mode of the Electro-Harmonix Deluxe Electric Mistress came to mind when playing around with the filters in Mids mode. At some points, the harmonics became very shimmery and bell like, but softer than the Deluxe Electric Mistress.
Each filter has a slider that adjusts the gain of that filter: with the slider all the way down the filter is at 0, and all the way up the filter is at maximum. Since these are resonant filters, the signal is boosted at the center frequency. Unlike with a graphic equalizer, the filters are tuned to not overlap, which brings more warmth and color to the tonal palette. I took a lot of time exploring the ranges of the filters when first plugging into the MIDI MuRF. With its ability to achieve a broad spectrum of frequency ranges, from warm bass to punchy midrange and shimmering highs, the MF-105M provides a tonal palette that is highly versatile.
The root of the MIDI MuRF's Animation section is an eight-channel sequencer, with one channel for each filter. The patterns trigger the envelope generator that shapes the volume of each of the filters, creating the sequence. With 12 patterns available for each frequency mode, there are 24 patterns total—although patterns 1 and 12 are fixed, allowing the user to utilize just the filters without any animation. Only pattern 1 has no animation, but like the rest, it can be overwritten with the included Pattern Editor software (more on that later).
The Envelope control adjusts the attack and decay of the envelope generator circuit, which acts as a square wave. When the Envelope control is at 12 o'clock, the attack is sharp with a smooth decay. Turn the Envelope control counterclockwise and the decay decreases, causing the notes and patterns to become choppier. Go clockwise past 12 o'clock and the sound flips, because the attack and decay have become so long that the filters are crossfading into one another. The Envelope control is the key to shaping the way the filters react to the notes and patterns. I had great fun creating everything from choppy rhythms to resonant soundscapes.

Ethiopian News
Ethiopian businesses, community begin to flourish in Las Vegas
By ALEXANDER S. COREY | LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL
A former tuxedo rental store.
A Mexican restaurant.
A hair salon.
These are the past lives of buildings at the corner of West Flamingo Road and South Decatur Boulevard that have been revamped within the last year by Ethiopian business owners.
In the last year, an Ethiopian-owned restaurant, coffee shop, and driving school have taken root in the Flamingo Business Centre, joining a hub of Ethiopian businesses across the street, less than a mile from the Palms.
Seven months ago, a former tuxedo rental store was transformed into Lucy Ethiopian Restaurant, 4850 W. Flamingo Road, named after the 3.2-million-year-old skeleton that was the oldest known human ancestor upon its discovery in Ethiopia in 1974.
Behind that restaurant, an Ethiopian couple opened a party supplies store last month.
Two doors down is a driving school initially started to serve people in the Ethiopian community who didn't speak English. Now it serves a myriad of customers in various languages, according to its owner Woldu Tereda, 40, who also has a stake in the restaurant.
The restaurant was founded by Tereda and three friends who met while working as Las Vegas cab drivers. Each has been in the U.S. for 10 years or less.
Inside, paintings drawn on goat skin adorn the walls and traditional wooden chairs engraved with illustrations line a wall.
Tereda and his partners, Fitsumberham "Fits" Mehari, 40, Girma Abebe, 44, and Abrham Tesfaye, 43, initially tried to get a loan for their restaurant but couldn't get the amount they needed. Instead, the group pooled their money and enlisted friends and family to help with remodeling the interior.
The men said their clientele is currently about 70 percent Ethiopian, but they expect that customer base to diversify as more people find them.
Getting the necessary spices for the restaurant has not always been easy. The group has learned to order in bulk from a distributor who ships ingredients from Ethiopia in order to avoid setbacks from unexpected shortages.
Tereda said he hopes to see the area, already known for Ethiopian stores, emerge as an even bigger destination for Ethiopians and the greater Las Vegas community.
A few businesses down, is Kaldi's Coffee, 4850 W. Flamingo Road, Unit 26, named for an Ethiopian legend of a shepherd who found his goats acting strangely after munching on peculiar, caffeinated berries.
The shop's owner, Mulu "Molly" Chokele, 41 — who also works full-time as a pharmacist — said she saved up to open the shop six months ago. Chokele, who moved to Las Vegas about 10 years ago, said the coffee shop has enjoyed increased business from Lucy Restaurant customers who come to her cafe in between meals.
Chokele, who is familiar with a larger Ethiopian community in California's Bay Area where she previously lived, said the Las Vegas Ethiopian community is "growing faster than I expected."
Across the street on Flamingo Boulevard, are an Ethiopian-owned hookah lounge, auto shop, and another recently opened restaurant, among other businesses.
Haileleul Asare Kerga, 51, worked as a mortgage broker and cab driver before opening Cafe Luhena with his wife, Miheref Teju Dibaba, inside a building that was once a Mexican restaurant and a pizza shop.
Kerga said they chose this location partly because it is "densely populated by Ethiopians and is very close to the Strip." The majority of Kerga's customers are Ethiopian, he said, but they have occasionally gotten tourists who wandered off the Strip.
Cities like Washington, D.C., Minneapolis, and Seattle are known for having distinct Ethiopian communities and business hubs. Some Las Vegas Valley residents expect Las Vegas to eventually have a Little Ethiopia of its own.

The Donald never sleeps. In the midst of his yet unofficially announced presidency run—he is a close second after Mitt Romney in the most recent polls—, his political appearances (Tea Party rally in Florida next week), his celebrity firing on The Celebrity Apprentice, he has the time to buy a winery (from my colleague at C-VILLE Weekly).
For $6.2 million, Trump got almost all of what he wanted: 700 pristine acres in Albemarle County, the winery, and, most importantly, the labels and trademarks of Kluge Estate Winery & Vineyard, once owned by Patricia Kluge and husband William Moses and most recently bought back by the financing bank in a foreclosure sale. Things are tough out there…except for Mr. Trump.
And there is more: Trump reportedly wants Kluge's former residence, the palatial Albemarle House, once on the market for $100 million and now also in the hands of the bank. With 45 rooms, a theater and a perfectly sculpted landscape, it may just be Trump's perfect country home away from his …. other homes.

Now that I'm approaching actually getting my Jeep off road, a few questions are popping up in my head.
With the 3.8:1 ratio transfer case and testing it in low the other day, I'm wondering if I should put in a switch so that when I pull the transmission down to 1/2 it stays in first gear.
I didn't take long for it to switch from first to seconds with just minimal throttle and speed.
With the stock 4x4 selector lever gone it may be a good place to put a switch to select first gear only, or normal operation.

Reporting Distortion?
Russell Bruce
By Derek Bateman
I've never believed the media lost us the 2014 referendum. That's deflection and avoidance of responsibility. But they played their part. And having had our eyes opened, we just can't stop looking. It must be a torment to find your journalistic efforts nit-picked on the net, corrected and derided, not to mention you yourself decried as an agent of Unionism. I sympathise.
But then there was always criticism of the Press, it just didn't surface the way it does today. It lay hidden in corners of contempt and festered, erupting now and then in a withering Letter to the Editor. Although in my experience, the dignity of the journalist's trade is sufficiently fragile to prompt the binning of any complaint deemed too close to the bone. Nowadays no Editor can prevent the tirades of the aggrieved from reaching not just their exalted office but spreading across the land.
The news has never been a perfect thing and is a continually evolving resource subject to judgment and analysis by professionals. You could spend to Doomsday debating what constitutes news and, in a real sense, it is almost entirely defined by what an Editor decides to publish. That is one definition – a newspaper printed it, ergo it is news.
Only we know that's nonsense. The photoshop distortions on the front page, the pointless drivel about so-called celebrities, the overstating of a simple phrase into a screaming headline, have robbed journalism of a swathe of credibility. There is also the adjustment to a digital world which has been painful, not just the decline in hard copy readers and ad revenue but in deciding what people want to know when the world is instantly at their fingertips on a keyboard, be they in a farm kitchen in Angus or a croft in Lewis (broadband notwithstanding).
We thought live television would be the instant outlier that would redefine news but it's now as obsolete as VHS as live streaming and global access to every known news source sit snugly in our pocket on a phone.
So deciding what consumers want in an age of all-consuming information is much tougher than it was when far-flung correspondents called in from a phone box with the latest.
Everybody now thinks they know what news is and they waste no time telling you. But, revealingly, it often comes down to their own personal interest or partisan beliefs. And if your product doesn't reflect that, you are denounced. There are many voices in wee Scotland indignantly unhappy with the media and wishing it all would burn in Hell. Well, I'm indignantly unhappy with the state of Scotland but my response is not to want it engulfed in flames in Hades. Our movement doesn't follow Pol Pot and seek Year Zero absolute solutions.
Like everything else in Scotland it is, as they say, what it is. We are where we are and wishing it were different cuts no ice. It may be that the lack of an active campaign or a key date to aim for, that ire needs something to focus on and if there's an ever-present, it's the media, publishing every day with hourly bulletins. It's a dripping roast for resentment troughers. And we can all play.
We shouldn't though ignore what quality coverage there is and the range and insight of commentary. Only ever seeing the negative is not the approach we take to Scotland itself. We seek to persuade and transform, not eradicate. Journalists are not part of a conspiracy and if sometimes they sound aggrieved, it's probably because there is only so much they can take. Hysterical attacks and demands that they lose their jobs and that their titles disappear merely confirms their existing prejudices about the nature of some on the Yes side. It probably makes it easier to find a bias against Yes as a result. They are human after all.
It doesn't need conspiracy, only mindset, to think the Christmas Box fiasco was acceptable behaviour. As Professor Murray Pittock of Glasgow University said: Just printing political party press releases is disgraceful. His colleague Professor Iain Docherty, said we need better journalism and respect is being lost.. Noticeably, not one fully paid-up professional journalist employed by a mainstream outfit justified thePress release scam. The only reaction I saw was personal attacks on me for publishing it– the same behaviour journalists complain about from Yes.
And how predictably sad to see paper after paper picking up and repeating the Tory fabrication about the flying of the Union Jack – without the most basic check of asking if it were true. That is a failure of journalistic standards and shows how desperate some are to generate outrage. Any old garbage will do.
And some stuck doggedly to it even after the First Minister and her predecessor had corrected it.
It has been a wobbly few days after the other non-story of a David Torrance look-alike made fools of the papers. Someone tweets for a joke, it 'becomes news' and an entire narrative is developed that this is a secret plan for Nationalists to attack the freedom of the Press – a Loony Tunes fantasy given wings by the absurd Alex Cole-Hamilton and Jo Swinson. A front page story? Only in the kailyard, I'm afraid. It must be clear to all that the media have few concerns about being answerable to the regulator.
For a glimpse of how different it is elsewhere try this : Sweden, Finland, Norway, and Denmark are consistently ranked highest in the world for both freedom of the press and participatory democracy. The Scandinavian population has among the highest news readership in the world, and can choose among the world's greatest number, per capita, of local and national newspapers.
They sell more papers and they have no statutory regulator. Instead the media themselves recognise the value and importance of accuracy and fairness which sustains their high circulations. Therefore they care about the quality of journalism and collectively judge their own colleagues when complaints are made. It isn't threats that make this happen, it's the common self-interest of the industry and its ambition to be respected. Is that your impression of the Scottish media?
But none of this gets us out of the woods in terms of giving a message that is positive as we head towards an uncertain future in just over a year's time. There remains a powerful background buzz of concern that rebuttal has not been strong enough – that deliberately misleading information is published in some outlets without official complaint. However, I think it is possible to detect a stirring in this direction at government level with hints of a more robust approach – the FM's Twitter denunciation of the false flag story being one.
There should not be an attack on the media as a whole as the government tries to persuade more Scots on to its ground – as some would want – but targeted rebuttals of incorrect information and, I think, misleading 'news' stories. The government is entitled to expect that official information released for publication should appear accurately – that's the role of the media. It doesn't mean simply repeated and it doesn't mean the news top line should be the same. It means that a fair and accurate assessment is reported. It is open to the paper separately to give its analysis and comment on the content without interference so its editorial line, on for example independence, comes through. Too many articles are distorted to a pre-determined line designed to influence the reader than, in the first instance, to inform. I know this is naïve but that is what a properly functioning media would look like.
For balance, the members of the old media should not wish away the new media either. There is already a degree of intertwining to mutual benefit – Angela Haggerty of Common Space is also employed by the Herald and must have her own dressing room at STV, Paul Kavanagh is in the National, Bella produces a magazine with the National and my mate at Newsnet Maurice Smith makes programmes for the BBC and writes in the Herald. There are other examples. In that sense Scotland has one wide media field and there is competition – and acrimony – within it.
Neil Mackay of the Sunday Herald tweeted that his front page – about Keith Cochrane of Carillion assisting at the Scotland Office (and getting sacked as a result) was a reason we need real newspapers. I agree and think it's a pity there isn't more of that kind of work being done in the Press. But I couldn't help noticing that myself as the alternative media tweeted three days before his story that Cochrane was in These Islands AND had a role at the Scotland Office. I just missed off the Exclusive tag. That's news for you!

IBM is claiming dibbs on what is says is the industry's highest ever TPC-C (transaction processing) benchmark result, hitting a transaction rate of 10,366,254 tpmC (new-order transactions per minute).
This TPC-C benchmark with DB2 9.7 was done with a cluster of three IBM Power 780 servers, each with 8 processors, 64 cores, and 256 threads achieving a throughput of 10,366,254 tpmC.
IBM claims its results are more than 2.5 times better than HP's best result -- an HP Integrity Superdome performing at 4,092,799 tpmC, running on 1 node with a total of 64 processors, 128 cores and 256 threads, 69% greater performance per core.

One of the earliest clues as to when grapes were first grown beneath the castle walls comes from the Diploma of Emperor Conrad II to Odorico, Bishop of Brescia of 15 July 1037 in which jurisdiction was granted by the ecclesiastical authority over Mount Denno now mount Maddalena attached to the Cidneo hill at the time.
The first clear description of the cultivation of vines in the city is given by Archetti:: "Even the slopes of Cidneo Hill facing midday and morning, that is the ones better exposed to the sun's rays were rich in vineyards, unlike the way they appear in common iconography as barren and bare. Along the streets leading to the castle, there were rows of vines in narrow terraces or directly on the slopes, "apud viam" – as stated in an inquisitio of 1251 – which led to S. Pietro in Oliveto or again near Paganora Gate and near the old royal gate that led to the church of S.Stefano or to the east of the gate giving access to the castle".
But it was above all on the eastern and southern side that the rows of low vines gave way to wide vineyards protected by hedges, blackthorn and high dry stone walls that must have been a wonderful sight. To the east of the castle a "clausum brohte de castro" was recorded where the vines were trained into "Pergole" or arbours, that is supported by poles (brothe) stuck in the ground and by trellises attached to the walls and enclosed by a hedge.
To the east of the castle was recorded a "clausum brohte de castro" where the vines were grown in bower, i.e. supported by poles (brothe) stuck in the ground and by trellis leaning to the walls and enclosed by a hedge".
Recent history is easier to reconstruct thanks to documents belonging to the present owners: in the XIX century the Riccardi brothers set up a wine business that was awarded a prize at the International Exhibition of Vienna on August 18, 1873 and the gold medal at the Exhibition of Brescia in 1904. The business was then inherited by the Caprettis: in 1940 Mario took out the patent on the "Pvsterla" brand name to show that his wines were produced in the urban vineyard. With this name, the firm was awarded a gold and two bronze medals for three wines presented at the oenological competition of Northern Italy in 1953 and another gold medal at the oenological competition of Asti in 1966.
One wine enthusiasts who held Pvsterla in high esteem at that time was none other than Winston Churchill.
In 1973 Mario Capretti was forced by reasons of health to close the Pusterla winery and to convert the cellar for another purpose. He had still not realised his dream of acquiring the DOC certificate which he had promoted. In the years after his death, little by little the fields and the farmsteads of Ronco Capretti were sold together with the ex-cellar building itself.
A different fate was to fall to the vineyard named "fondo montagnelle" on the slopes of Cidneo.
It was sharecropped by the three Castrezzati brothers who also brought the owner's grapes to make their own wine until the end of 1990. The field was then managed by ITAS Pastori who kept it until St. Martin's Day 1995. It is during this period that, with the agreement of the heirs to the Capretti estate the name "Pusterla" and the family coat of arms came back into use. It is also the first time that am attempt was made to produce a wine from Invernenga by using a withering technique.
When the agricultural college gave up the cultivation of the vineyard, a new "azienda agricola Pusterla" (Pierluigi Villa, agronomist and Piero Bonomi, oenologist) took its place at the beginning of 1996. This is when the wines Pusterla bianco IGT Ronchi di Brescia and Pusterla rosso IGT Ronchi di Brescia were first produced.
In 2007 the Slow Food association attributed the Pusterla Vineyard, the largest productive urban vineyard in Europe (nearly four hectares), the title of "Environmental and Agricultural Heritage Site".
The farm called Maria Capretti takes its name from the heir of the Capretti's, historical owners of the fields located on the northern hillside of the Cidneo; these fields are mostly known as Pusterla vineyard, Castle vineyard or Ronco Capretti.
In November of 2011 the contract with the agricultural firm Pusterla expired. Maria Capretti resumed the management of the family vineyard.
After 40 years the family had returned to manage the vineyard directly, with the aim of maintaining and redeveloping it. Investments were made in the restoration of the terraces and in the planting of Invernenga vines, typical of the area.
Now production is mainly focused on wine and grappa, but not exclusively. As an old vineyard, it is also partly an orchard, so the winery offers preserves and jellies packed with fruits from old varieties of local Brescian trees growing amongst the vines.

(NaturalNews) At 16, Kristen Peskuski was suffering from joint inflammation and an array of autoimmune conditions which made her organs and other tissues swell, including interstitial cystitis and lupus. She was prescribed over 40 different anti-inflammatory, antibiotic and painkilling medications to combat the symptoms. Still struggling to bring the symptoms under control, Kristen developed steroid toxicity. She was told that the most she could hope for was reduced discomfort, and with luck, she might make it to her 30th birthday. Seeking alternative treatments, she began juicing raw cannabis leaves every day, and within two months, Kristen's back pain had been eliminated, and she had stopped using any other painkillers.
At two years old, she was diagnosed with terminal brain tumours. Her mother was told that with treatment, Amber had a 10 percentchance of survival. After surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy, the tumours were still spreading. Her parents were advised to take their child home, make her comfortable, and prepare for the inevitable. A month later, her parents reported a startling change. The tumours had decreased in size and number. The family had been juicing cannabis leaves and feeding their baby a few ounces of the juice each day.
A typical first reaction is to associate marijuana consumption with its psychoactive effects. However, THC only becomes psychoactive when heated, like when traditionally smoked or cooked. When used raw, cannabis isn't psychoactive. The marijuana's abilities as a painkiller are generally perceived to be the result of its psychoactivity - so much so that the intensity of a plant's psychoactive effects is often used as a gauge of its medical potency. Contrary to intuition, this isn't true! The medical properties of marijuana are actually destroyed when heated or aged, as it becomes psychoactive. Heating converts 600mg of non-psychoactive THC acid into 10mg of psychoactive THC. Here's where the exchange for medical effects occurs. While the 10mg retain some medicinal effects, there is only a fraction of the THC left. In simplified terms, in the raw plant, THC acid isn't psychoactive, but acts as a very powerful medicine, up to 400 times more powerful than when smoked.
Scientific American, in 2004, published an article called "The Brain's Own Marijuana", in which they asserted that the brain releases chemicals that are structurally and functionally similar to cannabinoids - the reactive property in marijuana. THC is the cannabinoid that people are most familiar with, but this is only one of 80. In normal synaptic nerve function, the signals are uni-directional, and the receiver forwards the signal, but never notifies the sender that the message has been received. Cannabinoids maintain communication with the original transmitter so that it is aware that the message has been received and is being worked on. For example, if a neuron sends a pain signal, normally it would just keep sending the message until the message becomes false. The cannabinoids turn every cell into a manager with increased oversight.

(NaturalNews) Another shocking case of tyrannical, overzealous social workers and hospital staff has unfolded in Pennsylvania, where a mom who just gave birth in an ambulance to a healthy baby girl was threatened by a government social worker and accused of not allowing her child to receive "medical treatment." (A claim which is factually false.) In reality, the new mom, exhausting from giving birth in an ambulance, was merelyasking questions and trying to determine how her newborn daughter was being treated by hospital staff.
A social worker namedAngelica Lopez-Heagycontinued to threaten the mom, who persisted in asking polite questions to try to determine what she was being accused of. In response, the social worker demanded, "Since you're not going to cooperate, I'll just go and call the police and we can take custody of the baby."
The social worker then demanded that the mom and dad sign a "safety plan" that would contractually bind them to whatever medical procedures the hospital tries to push on all newborns, includingmultiple vaccines. The term "safety plan" is really just a linguistic mind trick for the agenda ofdamaging newborns with vaccinesso that they become repeat customers of the medical industry. Vaccines, as NaturalNews readers well know, routinely cause kidney damage, neurological damage and gastrointestinal damage, all of which produce huge long-term profits for hospitals, doctors and drug companies.
When the mom said she wanted her attorney to look over the document before she signed it, the nanny state social worker invoked her previous threat andcalled the police. The police then took custody (kidnapped) the daughter while hospital workers claimed the newborn was suffering from "illness or injury." (Completely fabricated to justify their kidnapping.) Then theyforcibly vaccinated the babywithout her mother's consent! This was all "approved" by the social worker, Lopez-Heagy.
Note that even though the hospital stole her baby away, if the baby ends up beingvaccine damaged, the entire burden of long-term health care costs for that damage will fall squarely on the mother! In fact, the mom might even be accused of "child abuse" if the vaccine damage side effects in any way resemble physical abuse (which often happens, as vaccines can cause bruising, swelling and brain damage).
Hospital workers then proceeded tokidnap her daughter and kick the mom out of the hospital, taking "possession" of the newborn child and forcing the mom and husband to sleep in the Wal-Mart parking lot, only allowing her to re-enter the hospital every three hours to breastfeed (and I'm shocked they even allow breastfeeding. Isn't that illegal RAW milk?).
This is how parents are treated in America today: Likecriminal dogswhose only function is to give birth to a new "litter" of victims for the state.
Spread the word. All across America, we are under assault: Farmers, parents, protesters and more. The government says it owns not just your own body, but even your children! And if you don't do what the government says, they march you away in handcuffs to have you tortured in their jails and prisons (http://www.naturalnews.com/035208_James_Stewart_torture_county_jail.h...).
This is state-sponsored medical terrorism. And it kills far more people than any other form of terrorism, even including 9/11.
We've got to put a stop to this terrorism. The social worker in this case should bearrested and charged with kidnapping. The hospital staff who participated in this charade should be indicted as co-conspirators in the felony crime of kidnapping. The person who injected this newborn baby with vaccines should be arrested and charged withfelony assault with a deadly weapon.
It's time to put a stop to runaway government tyranny. It's time to arrest and prosecute CPS workers for abusing parents' rights, and it's way past time to demand apatient's bill of rightsthat protects medical freedom, both inside and outside the hospital.
Spread the word. Read NaturalNews. Join the revolution and resist tyranny, my friends, or you and your family may be the next target.
Despite powerful mainstream evidence showing that 78% of polio cases in Pakistan are among those vaccinated with the polio vaccine, and even the fact that the polio vaccine is now the leading cause of polio paralysis, Pakistan is now moving to slam parents of non-vaccinated children with fees and school bans.
The country has been battling the disease, which has been running rampant among those vaccinated against the condition for quite some time, even prompting potential travel restrictions until the epidemic is dealt with.
While attributing the spread and outbreak to unvaccinated children, and demonizing their parents for making such an 'irresponsible' choice, mainstream public statistics have shown that even those who have been administered polio drops on several occasions were still developing the disease.
According to the National Institute of Health, whose polio action group compiled the data in the report, 107 polio-affected children out of the 136 total patients had been given the polio drops under a prescribed schedule — doctor approved.
From 1980 through 1999, there were 162 confirmed cases of paralytic polio cases reported. Of the 162 cases, eight cases were acquired outside the United States and imported. The last imported case caused by wild poliovirus into the United States was reported in 1993. The remaining 154 cases were vaccine-associated paralytic polio (VAPP) caused by live oral poliovirus vaccine (OPV)… there is no clinical difference between paralytic polio caused by wild poliovirus, OPV, or VDPV.
It should be no surprise, then, that vaccine-associated paralytic polio has emerged as the predominant form of the disease since 1980 according to peer-reviewed research.
Amazingly, this is no new discovery. The issues surrounding vaccine-induced polio paralysis was so serious that the US actually moved to the inactivated poliovirus vaccine (known as IPV) in 2000 following the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended altogether eliminating the live-virus oral polio vaccine (OPV) — the same vaccine that is still widely used throughout the third world despite the serious known associated risks.
Meanwhile, the government officials will now be financially assaulting families who decide to avoid these ineffective and dangerous vaccinations. Unsurprisingly, public trust for the shots is at "its lowest ebb", according to Hussain A. Gezari, the WHO's envoy on global polio eradication.
Previous attempts by government to financially 'punish' parents who do not subject their children to the government-mandated vaccinations have been made in Australia, where the nation suggested stripping parents of non-vaccination children from tax benefits.
(CNN) -- The number of children with autism in the United States continues to rise, according to a new report released Thursday by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The latest data estimate that 1 in 88 American children has some form of autism spectrum disorder. That's a 78% increase compared to a decade ago, according to the report.
Boys with autism continue to outnumber girls 5-to-1, according to the CDC report. It estimates that 1 in 54 boys in the United States have autism.
Mark Roithmayr, president of the advocacy group Autism Speaks, says more children are being diagnosed with autism because of "better diagnosis, broader diagnosis, better awareness, and roughly 50% of 'We don't know.'"
He said the numbers show there is an epidemic of autism in the United States.
Early recognition of signs of autism -- a neurodevelopment disorder that leads to impaired language, communication and social skills -- is vital because it can lead to early intervention, says Dr. Gary Goldstein, an autism specialist and president of the Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore.
"There have been studies -- double-blinded studies -- to show that behavioral early intervention changes the outcome for children," Goldstein says.
Roy Sanders and Charlie Bailey sensed something was wrong with their son Frankie Sanders when he was 9 months old.
"Our pediatrician at the time who was a friend of ours tried to tell us that we were being too cautious, we were being too anxious," Sanders says.
Frankie's pediatrician thought his parents were seeing developmental delays that weren't really there. But Frankie wasn't talking, Sanders says. "He didn't have speech; he didn't have any communication skills at all. He didn't point. He would flap quite a bit. He would stare at fans; he would stare at lights; he would become frantic if he didn't have a Thomas the [Tank] Engine because he was obsessed with Thomas the [Tank] Engine."
Frankie Sanders at age 15 months relaxes with his father Charlie Bailey.
His parents kept pushing, and Frankie, now a ninth-grade nose guard and defensive guard for the Decatur Bulldogs football team in Decatur, Georgia, was diagnosed with autism when he was 15 months old.

"Early detection is associated with better outcomes," says CDC Director Dr. Thomas Frieden. "The earlier kids are detected, the earlier they could get services, and the less impairment they'll have on their learning and in their lives on a long-term basis is our best understanding."
The CDC is working with the Academy of American Pediatrics to recommend that children get screened for autism at ages 18 months and 24 months, Frieden says.
However, according to the CDC report, most children were diagnosed between ages 4 and 5, when a child's brain is already more developed and harder to change.
"Doctors are getting better at diagnosing autism; communities are getting much better at [providing] services to children with autism, and CDC scientists are getting much better at tracking which kids in the communities we're studying have autism," Frieden says.
(NaturalNews)--On the heels of ongoing, massive protests against genetically-modified organisms (GMOs), French agricultural officials have announced that plantings of Monsanto's MON810 GM corn, which contains built-in Bt toxin, will no longer be permitted within France. Reports explain that the moratorium is only temporary, but since there is no indication that opposition to the "Frankencorn" will cease anytime soon, the ban could last indefinitely.
Last November, French authorities lifted a longtime ban that prohibited French farmers from planting MON810, a move that spurred nationwide backlash and protest. But less than six months later, the voices of the people have spoken so loudly that the ban has now been reinstated as a "precautionary measure" in order to "protect the environment."
"Due to the proximity of the planting season [authorities have] decided to take a precautionary measure to temporarily prohibit the cultivation of maize MON810 on the national territory to protect the environment," said a press release issued by French Agricultural Minister Bruno Le Maire and Minister for Ecology and Sustainable Development Francois Fillon.
Back in 2010, Germany also banned Monsanto's MON810 for the same environmental and health reasons. And Austria, Hungary, and Luxembourg, and of course France have all individually banned MON810 as well, despite the fact that the European Union approved its cultivation within EU borders back in 1998 (http://www.naturalnews.com/030733_Germany_GMOs.html).
In the United States, however, MON810 is widely planted, even though its effectiveness in resisting the Western rootworm beetle has waned significantly over the years. According to reports, the Western rootworm beetle has already developed complete resistance to MON810 in at least eleven U.S. states, and the problem is only expected to get progressively worse (http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=29828).
Meanwhile, studies continue to roll in showing that MON810, as well as many other GMO varieties, are responsible for causing organ damage, infertility, neurological damage, and gastrointestinal dysfunction, among other problems (http://www.naturalnews.com/033784_GMO_animal_feed.html). And GMOs with multiple stacked traits, including those with Bt toxin, have also been shown to be exponentially more harmful than those with just one genetic modification (http://www.naturalnews.com/035093_GMO_genetic_traits_toxicity.html).
This is the shocking face of China's brutal one child policy which many academics and pressure groups are now calling to be imposed in the west – the image shows a 9 month old baby lying dead in a bucket, forcibly aborted by Chinese family planning authorities in the town of Moshan, Shandong province.
Because the parents of the baby already had a child, they were hunted down and forced to comply with China's draconian one child policy. The mother was injected with a poison that induced an abortion, but after the baby was "pulled out inhumanly like a piece of meat," it was still alive and began to cry before doctors slung the defenseless child into a bucket and left it to die.
The time stamp on the image tells us the baby was killed on Monday. The image began circulating today on Weibo, China's version of Twitter, which has around 260 million members. The story has attracted widespread revulsion directed against the family planning authorities responsible for the murder of the baby.
China's one child policy is enforced by way of forced abortions, infanticide and compulsory sterilization. In many cases, women are literally kidnapped off the street by state goons from the "Birth Control Office," driven to government hospitals, drugged, and their child is forcibly aborted.
In one case in 2009, both a young woman and her baby were killed after such an abduction in Liaocheng City.
"According to a Doctor at the hospital where the two died, the young woman was kidnapped by the "Birth Control Office" and taken to the hospital where she was forced to undergo an abortion procedure," reported the Epoch Times.
The practice of infanticide has its origins in barbaric eras of ancient history, but it is still common is many areas of the world today, including China where the one child policy allied with the social pressure to have boys has resulted in a massive imbalance in the population. Studies have found that 40 million girls are 'missing' in China as a result of gender-selective abortion and infanticide. In India, there are 50 million less females for the same reasons.
The Globalists have officially infiltrated the Australian Government and have now admitted on record that they want Australia to lead the world to introduce global government and the new world order.
Senator Bob Brown then went on the say that "Australia should to take the lead in establishing aglobal parliament to govern issues such as nuclear proliferation, international financial transactions and poverty."
These comments made by Globalist Senator Bob Brown prove that the government is now actively seeking global government and the new world order. Senator Bob Brown even went as far to describe how a global government will function. He was quoted as saying "a global government should consist of a bicameral (two houses) parliament with equal representation from every nation."
This is not the first time Senator Bob Brown has declared that we should all accept global government and the new world order. In June 2011, Senator Bob Brown was quoted as saying "the issue of a global parliament was "conceptual" at the moment. He then went on to say that "why should Australia not be at the centre of what is inevitably going to be a global parliamentary governance down the line – if we human beings are going to live with each other on this marvellous planet of ours as we go on our joy ride of the future? Of course we are going to have to make consensus decisions."
As concerning as the above statements made by Senator Bob Brown are, what's even more concerning is that at the moment he has the influence, power and political mandate to direct Australian foreign public policy. As a result of the close nature of the last Australian federal election, the Greens Party and the Labor party in Australia have joined forces to form government with the help of three independent senators.
So what does this mean for Australia and the Globalist agenda? Well, because we now have evidence that the government is actively seeking global government and a new world order, we can use this information to gather support and build momentum in the wider community to campaign and rally against the globalist agenda and global government. We must stop the formation of global government and we must not allow the Globalists to further influence our politicians.
