London 2012: Will Clarke feels third Olympic berth should be his
Last updated on 23 April 201223 April 2012 .From the section Triathlon
Will Clarke believes he has done enough to persuade Britain's Olympic selectors he is worthy of a triathlon call-up.
Brothers Alistair and Jonathan Brownlee have secured two of the three available spots, with a third to be confirmed in June.
Clarke is likely to be up against Tim Don for the final qualifying place.
"Hopefully I have proved to the selectors that I'm the third best Brit," the 27-year-old from St Neots told BBC Radio Cambridgeshire.
GB Triathletes at 2008 Olympics
12th: Alistair Brownlee
14th: Will Clarke
Unclassified: Tim Don
Clarke ended the 2011 World Championship Series ranked ninth after claiming his first podium finish with a second place in Hamburg.
And he started this year's campaign well as the highest British finisher in Sydney, where he took eighth place in an event in which neither of the Brownlees competed.
"It was important to start the year off racing well," he said.
"I had a good year last year with my first ever World Championship Series podium. It's good that I've started the year off in good form."
However, Clarke's Olympics prospects could be affected if the British Triathlon Federation decide to opt for a domestique - an athlete whose main aim would be to assist the Brownlees in finishing among the medals.
He will have to wait until after the selection committee meet on 29 May before finding out his fate.
"It would be nice to know whether or not I'm going. It's kind of stressful and it's not the ideal situation," he said.
"But I can only control trying to get as fit as possible and proving I'm the third best Brit and should go.
"If I qualify for London it will be the biggest race of my career, no matter how many Olympics I go to.
"It will be really cool racing in front of family and friends in my home country."

Wild Week: Failed Broker Takeovers and Fines, Fines, Fines
Best Stories of the Week
Playtech, FxPulp, IronFX, EZ Trader and FXGM all appear in the passing week's top articles.
Avi Mizrahi | Brokers ( Retail FX ) | Sunday, 29/11/2015 | 14:21 GMT+2 2015-11-29T12:21:53+00:00 2015-11-29T12:21:53+00:00

The online trading industry keeps to its fast pace, with just one week bringing to light enough revelations to change the entire ecosystem. Among the top stories of the past week, we have seen: a major gaming empire that went on a broker buying binge but had to give up on the takeovers that would have solidified its hold on trading; and a national regulator that was considered by many as being lenient on brokers suddenly acting tough and shooting out fines on rapid fire. On a positive note we have also seen a binary options developer crossing over to the online video ads space, an area that can definitely use some disruption.
Playtech Hits a Roadblock
On Monday, Playtech made an announcement that caught many by surprise as it dropped its plans to acquire the publicly-listed CFD broker Plus500 due to FCA concerns that Playtech found impossible to resolve. The gaming giant said it discussed developments with the target company and the two had agreed to terminate their negotiations.
Just hours after the announcement that it has chosen not to further pursue the acquisition deal with Plus500, the news came through the London Stock Exchange that the shareholders of AvaTrade have suspended Playtech's other major FX deal.
FxPulp Pulped
On Tuesday it was revealed that the Cypriot regulator has decided to fine the shareholders of suspended broker FXPulp, Said Salem and Shaher Hasanain, €150,000 and to refer the case to the office of the Attorney General for it to consider whether there was any criminal liability incurred.
The day after, CySEC also started a procedure to compensate the clients of FxPulp. The regulator has outlined that it will be publishing details about the process of recovering deposits from the Investor Compensation Fund (ICF) in Cyprus.
On Wednesday, Ireland's central bank reported that 75% of CFD traders incurred losses over the period of 2013 to 2014. The research involved 35,000 retail traders and found that besides the losses, which averaged €6,900 ($7,300), there were differences among service providers regarding the assessment of clients' risk appetites.
Another finding was that most companies involved in the survey were compliant with legislative requirements concerning the handling of client complaints, although some were found to be lacking in the area of maintaining up-to-date records.
Ilan Tzorya's New Venture
On Thursday we reported that the serial entrepreneur behind Tradologic is transitioning to the online content monetization field. The need for the technology offered by AdsTech Solutions probably occurred to Tzorya while trying to figure out ways to place video ads for binary options in an attractive way.
The new firm says that its service promises to help online video producers earn money for their views and enable advertisers to promote their brand directly into video clips but without ruining the viewer experience.
The Day CySEC Got Serious
On Friday, the financial markets watchdog of Cyprus went on a spree of regulatory announcements, revealing unusually harsh actions taken over the past two months. In the first and most eagerly awaited company announcement for clients, CySEC has settled with IronFX Global Ltd for a payment of €335,000.
Other firms fined by the regulator included the binary options operator of EZ Trader, which received the biggest penalty – €340,000. The firm behind several binary options brands like Interactive Option, HelloBrokers and MTXPlus have been slapped with €300,000. The operator behind FXGM, Depaho has been fined €233,000, while Reliantco, the parent company behind UFX Markets, was issued a €123,000 fine by CySEC.

Pro Se Litigation: What to Expect During "Discovery"
During discovery, you have methods you will use to gain information. State laws differ during the discovery process, but there are five common steps or methods to take. These may well become a part of your divorce.
Disclosure is the process by which you and your spouse discloses to each other, and the court, the documents and other evidence you intend to use in divorce court. If you believe your husband has documents or evidence – financial statements, emails, photos, letters, receipts, or videos that will help you prove your case – you should file a motion with the court requesting "disclosure" of such evidence. Your court clerk can assist you in finding the appropriate forms to file. If your court does not use forms and you have to write out your own motion just turn to Google. Do a search for "sample motion for disclosure" and you will come up with thousands of examples to help you when writing your motion.
Be warned, just because you request documents doesn't mean you will get them. Most attorneys will stall and use any trick in the book to keep from disclosing information they know you can use against their client. If this happens you can ask the judge, at the time of the trial, to penalize your husband for refusing to disclose the requested documents. Remember, you want to send a copy of your motion for disclosure to the court clerk and a certified copy to your husband's attorney while keeping a copy for your records. Go to court with the proof of receipt to your husband's attorney so you can prove you filed the motion. Courts have been known to lose documents so, take a copy of everything you file with you when you go to trial.
Interrogatories are a list of questions that you send to the opposing side. Most states set limits on how many questions can be asked, and the response time is normally 30 days. Interrogatories must be answered, truthfully, under penalty of perjury, within a certain period. The opposing party may object to answering the questions if he feels they are arduous in nature and have no bearing on the case. You have the same right of refusal.
You've heard the term "paper chase?" This is where that term comes from. Given the opportunity, an attorney will send an extensive list of interrogatories to the opposing party in an attempt to bury him or her in paper work. This is why most states have laws limiting the number of interrogatories.
This is a written list of facts directed at your husband or anyone else you feel has information pertinent to your case. The party receiving the list of facts is asked to either admit to or deny each fact. This comes in handy if your husband owns a business and is trying to hide income. You can send a request for "admissions of fact" to his accountant or business partner and they are required to answer … honestly … within a certain period. If the party fails to answer in the time set by the court, his or her non-response is considered an admission of the facts. This normally motivates most people to respond. And remember, you may be getting an Admission of Fact from your husband's team. Answer it within the time specified.
This is used to obtain documents like bank statements, statements of income, or any documents you feel will benefit your case. Interrogatories and Requests for Production sound similar but are different. When you request production of certain documents, you must describe the documents by individual item or by category. For example you can ask the opposing side to produce all written, recorded or signed statements of any party to the divorce including witnesses, investigators, friends, family, or employers they intend to use to prove their case.
Depositions are taken pretrial when one party to the divorce questions the other party or a witness in the case. Depositions take place in an attorney's office or the courthouse and all questions are answered under oath and recorded by a court reporter. At trial the deposed testimony is used to cast doubt on your husband's case or possibly to help refresh the memory of another witness who may prefer to be less than honest. Normally depositions are done when a witness is unable to show up for the trial. Most courts have their own rules and regulations regarding depositions.
Depositions are expensive because you have to hire a court report, and pay for the transcript or video of the deposition. There is the expense of an attorney or paralegal if your state requires court personnel to be present. Being a Pro Se litigant taking a deposition should be your last resort for obtaining evidence.
Discovery sounds confusing and may cause you to doubt your ability to get through the process. Have faith.
Nine times out of ten, your husband's attorney will be the first to fire off any requests. That is a good thing because it gives you a sample of what the courts expect as far as how documents are written and how questions are asked. The process is less complicated than it sounds and once the ball starts rolling you will gain confidence.
In Part 6 of Pro Se Divorce I will have Frequently Asked Questions about the Pro Se process, plus tips and advice.
Did you physically abuse your wife during your marriage?

Eddsworld è una webserie inglese creata nel 2004 da Edd Gould insieme ai sui colleghi Thomas Ridgewell, Matthew Hargreaves e Tord Larsson.

La serie è suddivisa in tre stagioni: Eddsworld (2003-2012), Eddsworld Legacy (2012-2016) e Eddsworld Beyond (2020-).

Produzione
Edward Gould posta il primo video della serie, Edd (in cui compare il suo omonimo protagonista) nel 2003. Nei video successivi appariranno i membri principali del cast: Tom ( Thomas Ridgwell), Matt (Matt Hargreaves) e Tord (Tord Larsson). Essi sono tutti alter ego di amici reali di Gould, che partecipano in prima battuta alla realizzazione degli episodi, in primis come doppiatori. La serie diventa stabile nel 2006, con la nascita di YouTube, divenendo in breve tempo una delle più seguite sul social.

Il 25 marzo 2012 Edward Gould morì dopo una battaglia di 6 anni contro il cancro, durante la produzione dell'episodio Space Face. Thomas Ridgewell, in un comunicato ufficiale, assunse la direzione della serie (denominata ora Eddsworld Legacy) coadiuvato da Eddie Bowley (socio e amico fidato di Ridgewell) e affidò la parte di Edd a un suo collaboratore e amico di Gould, Tim Hautekiet. L'animazione venne affidata a vari animatori, in particolare a Paul Ter Voorde.

Ridgewell concluse la sua gestione con l'episodio in due parti The End: Part One e The End: Part Two  nel 2016 (concepito anche come una chiusura in toto dello show), anno in cui decide anche di rinunciare al ruolo di Tom.

Matt Hargreaves, ultimo membro del cast originale e co-sceneggiatore di vari episodi,  prende in carico la serie e decide di rilanciarla nel 2020 con la denominazione Eddsworld: Beyond, assegnando nuove voci ai protagonisti.

Personaggi

Edd
Edd è il protagonista della serie.

Indossa una felpa verde e/o una T-shirt con la scritta "Smeg Head" (una citazione della serie Red Dwarf) e ha i capelli castani. I suoi cibi preferiti sono la Coca-Cola e il bacon. Adora tuffarsi in ogni avventura che gli capiti, coinvolgendo molto spesso gli altri (in particolare nella serie Legacy, in cui il suo ruolo di leader viene notevolmente sottolineato), anche se a volte si ficca in situazioni surreali e paradossali di difficile soluzione.

Ha un alter-ego femminile di nome Ell.

Doppiatori originali: Edd Gould (2004-2012), Tim Hautekiet (2012-2016), George Gould (2020-presente)

Come Ell: Vicky Gould (2016-)

Tom
Tom è il migliore amico di Edd.

Indossa una felpa blu o una T-shirt dello stesso colore. Ha i capelli castani. Non ha occhi ma delle cavità scure. Cinico, sbruffone e disincantato, lancia spesso commenti caustici ai sui amici che la coinvolgono in incredibili avventure. Odia in particolar modo Matt (poiché troppo stupido) e Tord, antipatia per quest'ultimo sviluppata in un secondo momento durante gli eventi di Legacy. È un alcolista. Essendo un testimone di Geova odia il Natale, cosa che la porterà anche a tentare di distruggerlo, fallendo nel tentativo. L'oggetto che gli è più caro è un basso di nome Susan.

Ha un alter-ego femminile di nome Tamara.

Doppiatori originali: Thomas Ridgewell (2005–2016), Ed Templer (2021–oggi)

Come Tamara: Chloe Dungate (2015), Rachel Kiki (2020-oggi)

Matt
Matt è il terzo protagonista e migliore amico di Edd.

Indossa una felpa viola e un cappotto verde. Ha i capelli biondi e un mento quadrato. Narcisista e molto stupido, è continuamente ossessionato dal look e dalla propria bellezza. La cosa a cui tiene di più sono le sue foto e il suo specchio.

Ha un alter-ego femminile di nome Matilda

Doppiatori originali: Matt Hardgreaves (2004-)

Come Matilda: Alice Ann Stacy (2016), Jennifer Bingham (2021-)

Tord
Tord era uno dei protagonisti e successivamente antagonisti della serie.

Indossava un cappotto nero, sostituito poi da una felpa rossa o una T-shirt. È stato il personaggio più violento e crudele della serie nonché il primo a usare armi da fuoco. Odia la canzone Sunshine, Lollipop and Rainbows di Lesley Gore ed è l'unico straniero della serie, poiché originario della Norvegia.

Basato su Tord Larsson, un amico norvegese di Edd che lasciò la serie nel 2008, per giustificare l'uscita di scena nella serie venne semplicemente allontanato con la scusa di provare a sfondare nella grande città.

Il personaggio fa ritorno durante la serie Legacy come vero e proprio antagonista, comandante di una forza paramilitare con il soprannome di Red Leader. La sua presenza, solo percepibile in alcuni episodi,  si fa concreta nel Finale The End: Part One e The End: Part Two, dove tenta di ingannare Edd e Matt dopo aver allontanato Tom cercando di recuperare un robot per conquistare il mondo.

Ha un'alter-ego femminile chiamato Tori, che non è ancora apparso nello show.

Doppiatori originali: Tord Larsson (2005-2008), Jamie Spicer-Lewis (2016)

Eduardo
É il vicino e rivale di Edd, nonché antagonista nei suoi episodi.

Assomiglia alla versione "malconcia" di Edd. Ha i capelli di colore castano scuro, ha i baffi e le occhiaie. Indossa una camicia verdastra con sotto una maglietta grigia. É antipatico, geloso, e sicuro di sé, a volte irrita parecchio le persone che gli stanno accanto. Vive insieme a Jon e Mark, i tre sono migliori amici. Alcune volte, Eduardo rimprovera Jon per le sue azioni. Nonostante il suo caratteraccio, a volte è premuroso; come con la sua ex-fidanzata Laurel, prima che lo lasciasse, o quando Jon è deceduto in The End (part 2). Molto probabilmente ha origini statunitensi, poiché nella serie ha un accento americano.

Doppiatori originali: Chris O' Neill (2016), Brock Baker (2012-2016)

Jon
É il migliore amico di Eduardo e co-antagonista in alcuni episodi.

Assomiglia a Tom. Ha i capelli di colore castano chiaro, gli occhi neri a spillo e la testa rotonda. Indossa una camicia blu con sotto una maglietta grigia. É sensibile e confuso, è meno scortese di Eduardo e Mark, ma odia ugualmente Edd, Tom, e Matt. Il suo più grande sogno è diventare un principe. In The End (part 2), muore a causa dell'esplosione causata dal robot di Tord.

Doppiatori originali: Eddie Bowley (2012-2016)

Mark
É il migliore amico di Eduardo e co-antagonista in alcuni episodi.

Assomiglia a Matt. Ha i capelli biondi, il mento sporgente e la faccia lunga. Indossa un dolcevita viola/lavanda. É altezzoso e vanitoso, oltre ad essere un fifone.  Tuttavia, Mark solleva i morale ai sui amici quando sono giù o rancorosi.

Doppiatori originali: Ben Rudman (2012-2016)

Paul e Patrick
Sono le assistenti di Tord presenti nella serie Legacy, basati su due donatori Patreon del progetto.

Paul ha capelli corti di un castano scuro, caratterizzato particolarmente dalle sue sopracciglia molto spesse. Porta una benda sull'occhio destro, per nascondere una cicatrice parzialmente evidente.

Patrick invece ha capelli più lunghi e scuri, e entrambi indossano la stessa divisa della Red Army formata da una giacca lunga blu, maglia nera, pantaloni neri e stivali grigi.

Doppiatori originali: Patrick Patryck Dudulewicz (2013-2016), Paul Paul Ter Voorde (2013-2016)

Sitting before a wall bursting with family photographs and colorful messages exuberantly drawn in his children's writing, Jerry Vanderstelt is fielding a flurry of nonstop activity inside his office at Van's Car Wash & Quick Lube this Tuesday afternoon.
In between reminiscing with his father, John Vanderstelt, about their business over the years, Jerry Vanderstelt, who owns Van's, is something of a human tornado: navigating employees' greetings and questions, bringing out decades-old articles detailing his company's accomplishments, proudly telling stories of his wife and two children, preparing for Van's Car Wash & Quick Lube 50th anniversary celebration this weekend.
It's a whirlwind of a scene that's emblematic of the business that's about to turn 50 years old, a scene rooted in family, in hard work, in community.
A photo of the first Van's Car Wash, which opened in 1969.
Now, to say thank you to their town, Van's Car Wash & Quick Lube is throwing a 50th anniversary party this Saturday, Jan. 26. To mark five decades of service to Muskegon, Van's Car Wash will celebrate with special deals one weekend every month in 2019; for their kick-off event this Saturday, they will offer anniversary throwback pricing at each of the seven locations, including $1 car washes and $10 oil changes.
As they prepare for Saturday's festivities, members of the Vanderstelt family have been remembering the past 50-plus years, and the ensuing stories are ones to which we can all relate—stories of family, of learning how to make it in this world, of hard work and long days. Of parents hunkering down in the office, but still managing to make it to their children's sporting events.
They're stories of the ripple effect one business has on a community: of the impact that mentoring employees, providing work for people, and raising money for local charities creates in our world.
"It's very unusual that you have the fourth generation running a company and be so successful—he's done a phenomenal job," John Vanderstelt says of his son, Jerry.
Jerry Vanderstelt grew up working in the family business and purchased Van's Car Wash from his father in 2006, 37 years after his grandfather, father and uncle opened the first Van's Car Wash on Jan. 24, 1969 and 76 years after his great-grandfather launched the very first Van's.
Gerrit Vanderstelt, an immigrant from the Netherlands, and his son, Henry, opened Van's as a full service gas station at 1087 W. Laketon Ave. in Muskegon on Oct. 15, 1930—a time when Muskegon was quite a bit different from today. The business then made its home on Laketon Avenue when it was a dirt road surrounded by expanses of open space.
"He crossed the ocean and decided to start a garage; it was one of the first gas stations in Muskegon," Jerry Vanderstelt says, glancing down at a photograph of his great-grandfather, clad in a dapper 1930s trench coat and fedora while standing outside his auto repair shop.
Since the day Van's opened in 1930, the business, its owners and its employees have navigated the ups and downs the world has thrown its way, from the Great Depression and World War II to the economic recession in 2007.
The Vanderstelt family has indeed made its way through it all—but they've done more than survive. This business run by four generations of the same family has grown, believed in employees like they are family (so much so that some staff members have worked at Van's for decades), and given back to the community. The Van's Halloween haunted car wash, for example, launched four years ago and has since raised about $18,000 for local nonprofits.
As John Vanderstelt's father, Henry, took care of the business, John and his brother, Gary, spent much of their childhoods and adult lives there. In 1969, the three of them branched out from the auto repair business and decided to launch the first Van's Car Wash on Jan. 24, 1969—the same day that Jerry's older brother, Jeff, was born.
Sharon, left, and John Vanderstelt at Van's Car Wash.
Ten years later, in 1979, Henry Vanderstelt retired and Gary and John Vanderstelt took the reins. Then, in 1987, Gary Vanderstelt bid adieu to the family business and sold the original location on Laketon Avenue, while his brother, John, reopened the full-service shop at their Sherman Boulevard location. A couple decades later, after spending much of his childhood and early adult life working at the family business, Jerry Vanderstelt headed south for a job opportunity down south—but he couldn't get Muskegon, and his family's business, out of his head.
So, he and his wife, Claudia, returned to Muskegon in 2005 and are raising their two children, Zoe, 14, and Ian, 10, here.
Now, after a whirlwind 14 years as the head of the company, Jerry Vanderstelt is looking forward to the times to come, including celebrating their 50th anniversary year.
"This year is going to be focused on our 50 years and being thankful to the community," he says.

12° of Freedom (also listed as 12 Degrees of Freedom) is the debut album by the Chicago Underground Duo, featuring multi-instrumentalists Rob Mazurek and Chad Taylor. It was recorded during January and June 1997 at three different locations, and was released in 1998 by the Thrill Jockey label. Guitarist Jeff Parker also appears on three tracks.

In an interview, Mazurek stated that his music is "a protest against anything or anybody that wants to put up some kind of barrier between total creativity," and remarked: "The first Chicago Underground record is called 12 Degrees of Freedom. It has those same precepts, not just in music but dealing with psychology, spirituality, the whole thing."

Reception

The editors of The Wire included the album in their 1998 Rewind, listing the year's 50 best albums.

Monica Kendrick of the Chicago Reader stated that "Mazurek and... Taylor use vibes, piano, and bamboo flute along with their primary instruments to construct subtle, spartan soundscapes that occasionally burst into flurries of notes and beats or fill out into mesmerizing grooves."

Writing for CMJ New Music Monthly, Daniel Piotrowski noted that the album's "message... has as much to do with musical freedom as with human freedom," and commented: "While this group truly fits into the legacy of Chicago exploratory music... Mazurek and Taylor forge their own identity and style."

The New York Times's Ben Ratliff praised Thrill Jockey for releasing the album, writing: "The indie-rock scene has reached a dry point, so more small rock labels ought to take a chance on jazz, as this one did; their approach to recording the music, and the meaning of their imprimatur to an entirely different group of listeners, could rejuvenate jazz's constituency. Young people put their money where the excitement is; they don't care what it's called."

Track listing

 "The Pursued" (Rob Mazurek/Chad Taylor) – 4:30
 "Not Quite Dark Yet and the Stars Shining Above the Withered Fields" (Rob Mazurek) – 6:30

Brexit Must Happen And Here's Why
Although that's not a command; it is a suggestion.
The European Union's actual government which proposes all the new EU laws is the EU's version of Britain's House of Lords!
The European Union is not a democracy. The European Union is a technocracy (i.e. government by "experts" who are appointed on the basis of their alleged "expertise", rather than government by elected peoples' representatives).
I will keep this post as simple as feels appropriate, copying and pasting information from what is now a publicly trusted and respected source: Wikipedia.org
The European Commission (EC) is the executive branch of the European Union, responsible for proposing legislation, implementing decisions, upholding the EU treaties and managing the day-to-day business of the EU.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Commission
The phrase "executive branch" (of government) means that the EC is like the British government's Prime Minister and cabinet ministers.
But the British Prime Minister and the cabinet ministers (whom he or she appoints) are all directly elected by their local voters at the constituency level. In Britain, Members of Parliament, or MPs, are expected to represent the interest of their local constituents instead of simply representing the interests of the nation -- and they do actually do that.
Members of Britain's executive branch of government can be directly voted out of office by the electorate at a general election (or at something called a by-election).
But back to talking about how the European Commission works:
The Commissioners are proposed by the Council of the European Union, on the basis of suggestions made by the national governments, and then appointed by the European Council after the approval of the European Parliament. It is common, although not a formal requirement, that the commissioners have previously held senior political positions, such as being a member of the European Parliament or a government minister
So the actual government of the EU that proposes new laws is not actually elected by the EU's general public -- and neither is it elected by the Members of the European Parliament!
This EU institution operates as a cabinet government, with 28 members of the Commission (informally known as "commissioners"). There is one member per member state, but members are bound by their oath of office to represent the general interest of the EU as a whole rather than their home state...
...One of the 28 is the Commission President (currently Ursula von der Leyen) proposed by the European Council and elected by the European Parliament. The Council of the European Union then nominates the other 27 members of the Commission in agreement with the nominated President, and the 28 members as a single body are then subject to a vote of approval by the European Parliament.
So the EU's elected peoples' representatives -- the MEPs (Members of the European Parliament) -- are currently allowed to have a vote on a single figurehead member of the actual EU government, but they are not presently given the opportunity to choose who that person is. They are simply asked to say "Yes" or "No" to someone nominated by the EU's national cabinet ministers (who are actually elected). Notice that this process is one step removed from genuine democratic accountability to the public with regard to the Commission President's selection.
As for the twenty-seven other Commissioners: sadly, the EU's national premiers (who are also actually elected Prime Ministers and Presidents) have refused to allow the MEPs to vote on the composition of the EC -- instead requesting that the European Parliament gives their "rubber stamp" of approval to twenty-seven Commissioners all at once. So what is the EP supposed to do in that situation?
The EP holds public hearings regarding its opinion on the suitability of proposed Commissioners, but so far it has almost never formally disapproved of new Commissioners. And even when it had disapproved of a few Commissioners, notice that the 700+ members of the EP had not all been allowed a free vote on such important decisions.

...The defeat is likely to trigger recriminations in the group over how they managed to lose Goulard in such a decisive way: 82 of the 112 MEPs eligible to vote on her appointment voted against her.

Now let's talk about what the European Parliament does. Here is another excerpt from Wikipedia:
Although the European Parliament has legislative power, as does the Council, it does not formally possess legislative initiative (which is the prerogative of the European Commission), as most national parliaments of European Union member states do...
...the Commission presents a proposal to Parliament and the Council which can only become law if both agree on a text, which they do (or not) through successive readings up to a maximum of three. In its first reading, Parliament may send amendments to the Council which can either adopt the text with those amendments or send back a "common position". That position may either be approved by Parliament, or it may reject the text by an absolute majority, causing it to fail, or it may adopt further amendments, also by an absolute majority. If the Council does not approve these, then a "Conciliation Committee" is formed. The Committee is composed of the Council members plus an equal number of MEPs who seek to agree a compromise. Once a position is agreed, it has to be approved by Parliament, by a simple majority.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Parliament
Please pay extra-special attention to the text which I have highlighted using purple lettering; it is very, very important as it quite clearly shows that the directly elected European Parliament -- along with the directly elected Council -- are actually analogous to Britain's unelected aristocratic chamber of appointed allegedly "learned" Lords and Ladies (the House of Lords), with respect to the legislative impotency of that "second chamber".
Since the Parliament Acts of 1911 and 1949, the House of Lords has retained very little power to prevent democratically elected British governments from enacting new laws. What the House of Lords can do is slow down the process of new legislation taking effect, by sending it back to the House of Commons with its suggestions for how it might be improved upon -- which is basically the same thing that the European Parliament does at the moment.
Conversely, the EU's subordinate chamber -- which has the power to slow down the process of new EU laws taking effect -- is the European Parliament of genuinely elected politicians. The EP is like the Parliament of the Soviet Union right now: asked to "rubber stamp" the policies of the Commission's "politburo".
Now please take a moment to think and feel about how abominable that situation is!
This is not about the so-called Left and Ring wings of politics. This is not about immigration, xenophobia, or racism. This is about democracy and if the European public wants to be governed by pseudo-aristocrats who act as the puppets of actual aristocrats, criminally fraudulent banking shareholders, and their vassals: the wider grouping of transnational corporations and their shareholders (which is a grouping that tends to overlap with that of the aforementioned banking shareholders).
Are you British? Do you love democracy? If so, then please vote for Boris Johnson's Conservative party at the December 12th general election. Why? Because that British political party is the party which is committed to making Brexit happen, and which can also form a majority government to actually follow through on that promise.
Who cares about the policies of the British Conservative party! We need to get Britain OUT of that totalitarian system of pseudo-aristocrats and technocrats who don't trust the European public to make any of the important decisions about who governs their country. At least Britain's aristocrats don't have much in the way of lawmaking ability anymore, even though the British monarchy and the honours system is a lesser abomination in its own right.
I am going to also copy and paste the most important piece of this communication to the beginning of the post, as a bold dick move.
Again I will make it very clear that I am not commanding any of you to do anything with this specific forum post; I am only making a suggestion. I hope that you will listen to my suggestion and implore your friends, family, and any other living entities to also vote for Boris Johnson's Conservatives.
I don't even like Boris Johnson very much, but I know what I am talking about. Please trust me.
Here is a video of the previous European Commission President, Jean Claude Juncker.
Ordinary people tend to get fired from their jobs if they publicly humiliate and assault their work colleagues like that. The video speaks for itself.

The EU is a totally onerous group, and they kill the economic sovereignty of the nations they control. They basically keep the wallets hostage of their member nations.
The problem is that it seems like people are using "brexit" not as economic emancipation, but as a vehicle for very right-wing xenophobia. At least that's the impression I get. It may or may not be true (it could easily be manipulated propaganda made in the interests of the EU), but without a good consensus nothing's going to get done. I think the public will be the only ones that suffer either way....and maybe that's why there isn't the support that there should be. The conservative party--or whoever it is that's driving the move for brexit--maybe isn't marketing it convincingly enough.

The EU is Hitler's prophecy come true.. and the man Juncker, his grand father was the richest Nazi in WW2 and was friends eith Hitler and what's more astonishing is that Juncker is best friends with Soros who was a Nazi collaborator who stated that during his time being mentored by his Nazi father seeing him confiscate the Jews and take them away to death camps were "some of the happiest times of his life" which is where his personality was born.. Brexit's goal was to create a one European state and Britain is the last nation holding it together, under it's clasp of dominance and control and this is why May failed time and time again because Britain never left and thew EU has seized control of it from the very beginning.. but I do believe that a no-deal Brexit must take place, besides the current deal that has been made, where Britain can truly become an individual sovereign nation once again without being dependent on the EU.

Let's examine how the Brexit would affect the immigration employment;
https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentand...market/may2018
The employment rate (the proportion of people aged from 16 to 64 years who were in work) was 81.9% for EU nationals, higher than that for UK nationals (75.6%) and higher than that for non-EU nationals (63.0%).
So when Britain stops being part of the EU, the immigration from the EU countries will probably go down, meaning the WHOLE employment rate will go down?

I am fairly sure those numbers aren't changing, so that group will just be pushed further right over time I guess.

In that spirit, here are my observations about the Dec. 12 U.K. general election from the western shore of the Atlantic.
Corbyn is offering, by far, the best option on Brexit.
Whatever you might have heard about how Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn has handled the Brexit crisis, here's what's important: as of right now, he has arrived at the best solution going forward.
No political issue in my lifetime has been more mind-numbingly tedious than the Brexit morass. Suffice to say, an ocean's distance is helpful in maintaining one's sanity, let alone clarity. So, apologies for sounding like a scold—but, c'mon you Brits, wake up and recognize that Corbyn is providing a simple, sane pathway to survive this cluster*****.
Here's his plan, which, if you ask me, makes a lot of sense.
If elected prime minister, Corbyn will negotiate a new Brexit deal, aiming for an arrangement similar to Norway's current relationship with the EU (which means the U.K. will remain part of the EU common market). Then, he would put that deal up for a popular vote with the only other option being to remain in the union. The whole thing will be resolved in half a year.
The only other option is a Tory-led government that eliminates any Remain option and that will present the familiar anti-worker, deregulatory, pro-finance Brexit that's already proved very unpopular, and which, among other things, will almost certainly lead to the breakup of the U.K.
So, it's very simple. If you support Remain, you have only one hope left: defeating the Tories. That means voting tactically for Labour and its allies, i.e., those parties that might be willing to form a Labour-led government so Corbyn can pursue Brexit sanity.
Also, if you support Brexit but actually want a positive arrangement with the EU—one that prioritizes the concerns of average people and the environment, as well as respects the Good Friday accord–you should also support Labour and its allies. This argument is not a pro-Remain sleight-of-hand. I am pro-Remain, but I sincerely believe that a Norway-like Brexit deal will have a very good shot of winning a second referendum. Norway, after all, is doing pretty damn well these days.
So, if you're pro-Remain—you have to vote Labour and friends. If you want a decent Brexit—ditto. Those two positions have to represent two-thirds of the electorate. Why is this not a landslide?
And I always thought this would be
the land of milk and honey
Oh but I came to find out that it's
all hate and money
And there's a canopy of greed holding me down.

Replying to Persephone The Dread, I do not classify Britain's House of Lords as an oligarchy because it is not the executive branch of government -- ergo, it is not a collection of "archons" (translated as "rulers").
But the European Commissioners can be fairly described as being a group of obviously visible political "rulers" of the European Union. The Commissioners are appointed, not elected -- and they are appointed on the basis of their alleged "expertise": ergo, the EC is a technocracy. The EC is also an oligarchy, by popular definition and with regard to the etymology of that word.
The House of Lords is not a technocracy though, since it does not govern Britain. The House of Lords is neither an oligarchy nor a technocracy -- but the European Commission is both of those things, thus doubly awful.
It is sensible for British lovers of democracy to vote for Boris Johnson's Conservative party this December 12th as his party can secure a majority government. It seems that "getting Brexit done" (i.e. implemented -- preferably with a no-deal scenario) requires a majority government.
It is appropriate and advisable to hate the European Commission system. There is such thing as too much of a good thing, you see. In my book(s) the "EU" = "eurgh!"
There is more that can be said on that topic, but I choose not to say any more right now.
^ I just mentioned that because you said the EU was equivalent to the House of Lords. A bunch are there because they inherited titles or are part of The Church of England not because of ability.
Also I voted labour.
I only have one British car (for now), but it would suck if I would have to start paying import taxes etc. from all the car parts that I order from there, also I just realized that I order all my coats, jackets and shoes from there too! So... if you leave the EU, I will buy them from somewhere else! Take that... you!

House of Lords' eponymous debut was released in 1988, featuring a heavier sound than Giuffria with a lower keyboard mix. The album received critical acclaim and the band toured with Cheap Trick, Ozzy Osbourne and the Scorpions in 1989. The album featured one minor hit, "I Wanna Be Loved" (Hot 100 No. 5 .
Giuffria? The name sounds familiar, does it not? It reminds one of a "virgin".
OK. That's enough cryptic crossword **** for this post. I said something about keeping things simple, so I'll spell it out for you (literally speaking, rather than magically so).
I had Jeffrey Epstein killed in his prison cell. On some level I actually enjoyed it. I will explain more in another thread so that people who are not into that sort of thing can more easily avoid reading it.
This post and this thread do not represent me trying to force Brexit to happen by mind controlling people actively for that purpose.
Back to speaking of what you may consider to be "rational" "reasons" for Britain's exit from the European Union happening...
The bringing up of the "oligarchy" label was very helpful, as it has prompted me to point something out to all of you lovely people. The European Commission consists of 28 persons: all of whom are appointed -- not elected -- in the sense that the European general population does not vote for any of them directly.
The European Union has a population size of hundreds of millions of people! Thank you, Persephone the Dread, for helping me to recognise that the European Commission system ought to be described as an institutionalised, legalised oligarchy, first and foremost -- and only secondarily as a technocracy with regard to the intentions of its so-called "architects".
I don't like the House of Lords very much at all, but it is comically oversized when compared with official figures regarding the number of British people.
The European Union governmental system is appalling! Why on Earth are some of you so bothered about short-term economic gain when it comes to Brexit? Are you even democrats? How do you feel on the subject of short-term economic gains when it comes to the issue of saving the environment? Do you approach that topic differently, or do you simply not care about both democracy and environmentalism?

What the World needs is for the corrupt system of the crony capitalist so-called "internationalists" to be broken down, then replaced with many smaller independent nation states -- with the economic policies of those self-responsible countries patterned after and approximating the mode of governance known as autarky. And a "hard" (one might say masculine) Brexit can be the first step to achieving that goal: necessary for human civilisation to become genuinely "sustainable" -- which is a word that seemingly all environmentalists like to say, ad nauseam.
You may say something like "Oh, isn't it awful that Brexit happening will mean that some of the monopolist transnational corporations (which we ought to oppose anyway) will take some of their farms, factories, and workers to -- or from -- countries other than Britain!", but how is that a bad thing for the health and security of human civilisation?
Do you want transnational corporate monopolies -- with majority criminal-banker "ownership" -- to have free rein to do whatever they want, by bullying genuinely democratic nation states into submission with their anti-democratic, "supranational", oligarchic technocracies (like the European Union, the United Nations, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, and the Bank for International Settlements), and with their threats to "up sticks" and take away their businesses from anywhere that refuses to play their game? Well that is not what I want!
Boris Johnson was actually right to say "f*** business", around the Summer of 2018. Just as Victoria Nudelman was correct to bluntly declare "f*** the EU"!
We must stand up to those monopolist bullies and CALL THEIR BLUFF!
It will be a good thing if someone like Beatnik stops buying British cars, coats, jackets, and shoes after Brexit happens! Do the anti-Brexit people honestly believe that a country like Finland is incapable of manufacturing and providing most of its own goods and services, for its own population? And do those same people genuinely think and feel that Britain cannot reconfigure its economy to do the same thing, fairly quickly after exiting the European Union's legal, economic, and political institutions and treaties?
According to the history books at least, this thing called World War II happened -- which involved the cutting of overt economic ties between Britain and Nazi-occupied Western Europe, but the British economy actually boomed as a result of its government mandating a demand for military equipment (with a supply of money to pay for the required goods and services provided by commercial banks, more or less created "out of thin air" -- but not yet on computers).
Please read the following post which I recently typed up:
https://www.socialanxietysupport.com...post1093845869
I mentioned the Club of Rome, and here is a excerpt from its Wikipedia entry (which is actually a quotation from the book, The First Global Revolution, by Alexander King and Bertrand Schneider:
"Every state has been so used to classifying its neighbours as friend or foe, that the sudden absence of traditional adversaries has left governments and public opinion with a great void to fill. New enemies have to be identified, new strategies imagined, and new weapons devised."[9] "In searching for a common enemy against whom we can unite, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like, would fit the bill. In their totality and their interactions these phenomena do constitute a common threat which must be confronted by everyone together. But in designating these dangers as the enemy, we fall into the trap, which we have already warned readers about, namely mistaking symptoms for causes. All these dangers are caused by human intervention in natural processes, and it is only through changed attitudes and behaviour that they can be overcome. The real enemy then is humanity itself."
National governments -- like Britain, but also other independent nation states that choose to take back their sovereignty for their Demos -- can create money (out of thin air, if need be), to fund their emancipation from the criminal banking cartel, and its network of transnational business vassals, which have been f***ing up the environment for everyone with their rapacious greed. Those same national governments can also do the same thing to fund the remaking of their economic systems so that they will be environmentally "sustainable".
Here is a BBC article, entitled "How would the Greens fund their £1tn pledge?":
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-50315720

The Green Party is in favour of remaining in the European Union, but running a budget deficit of 6% would be double the limit set out in the EU's growth and stability pact.
So you see, the European Union's financial regulations actually forbid its constituent national governments from breaking away from the fraudulent Ponzi scheme monetary system of the criminal banking cartel -- which makes sense, since the EU under European Commission governance is a corrupt oligarchy (run by stooges of the banks and transnational corporations, for the banks and transnational corporations)!
Now please do a little reading on the subject of the European Union's "expenditure benchmark" rule to understand one of the reasons why a debt-free currency issued by Britain's Treasury (to be given to public sector workers and contractors as their wages for setting up the "green" economy) won't work until AFTER Britain leaves the European Union -- preferably with a no-deal scenario, to make absolutely sure that Britain will be OUT of EU pacts such as that which I referred to above, for long enough to bring back something like the Bradbury Pound, or to go back onto something like the historical Gold Standard.
I know that this information is not easy to digest, but I am making an heroic effort to explain these complicated ideas to you fellows BECAUSE I LOVE YOU -- and BECAUSE I HATE THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION; BECAUSE I HATE THE CRIMINAL BANKING CARTEL; BECAUSE I LOVE TO HATE THINGS WHICH I DON'T WANT!
There is a woman who I admire -- namely Elizabeth Truss -- and she made a speech to the Conservative Party Conference in 2014 that was widely ridiculed. I will post a segment of it below:
Is there anything wrong with what she said? It sounds good to me! She is currently Boris Johnson's Secretary of State for International Trade, as well as President of the Board of Trade and Minister for Women and Equalities.
NO-DEAL BREXIT: WE CAN DO IT! (Even if Boris Johnson gets his "excellent deal" through Parliament soon.)
Well everyone can't be wrong, it's a PC war, a slow occupation, democratically eroding individual unique culture & heritage built up over centuries till one day you wake up & it's gone, but what goes around comes around, karma, it's not like GB didn't already influence culture almost everywhere in the world.

7-9% of the French people are Muslims (and Europe isn't a religion and muslim isn't an ethnicity)
https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/...of-france.html

In the year 2050 the number of Muslims in Sweden would be 1,130,000 (or 11.1% of the population) under the zero migration scenario, 2,470,000 (or 20.5% of the population) under the medium migration scenario, and 4,450,000 (or 30.6% of the population) under the high migration scenario.

Get ready for another October surprise.
For MacBook users, it'll probably be a pleasant surprise, since Apple just sent invitations to an event on Oct. 27. Although, per usual, the invites didn't specify what the company has planned, all rumors point to a refresh of most of Apple's MacBook computers.
The event will take place at Apple's Cupertino campus, and it's scheduled to begin 10 a.m. PST. The invite says only, "Hello again," followed by a few brief instructions.
The most exciting rumor is that the new MacBook Pro could see a big design change: The row of function keys might be replaced with an OLED touch pad. The function and iconography on those keys could then presumably change depending on the active app; it would also be customizable.
At the same time, Apple's whole line will certainly get a processor upgrade. The new Macs could even be some of the first computers to come with Intel's seventh-generation Core processors (AKA Kaby Lake), though we'll at least see a jump to sixth-gen Core chips (Skylake).
And what else will be on deck? We may get the first official data (or at least hints) of how well the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus are selling, as well as iOS adoption. The iPhone 7 Plus may finally get Portrait mode in an update to iOS 10. And there's a chance the iPad Air 2 (now two years old) could get an incremental refresh.
No matter what happens, Mashable will be live on the scene, covering all the news as it happens.

The WCIF rules for the Magazine requests have been updated slightly. We are now enforcing our Always post an image rule more strictly. If you do not post an image with your WCIF request, then we will not answer your request. This has been done because many people simply ignore the rule, which makes it harder to answer the requests.
The WCIF topics are a service we provide for free and our members answer these because they are kind enough to do so. The least you can do if you got a request is to make it easy for them to answer it. They do after all hunt down the object for you and provide a link. This can easierly take them ten minutes to do. Uploading an image of the object takes less then 30 seconds once you have done it a few times.


The Women, Family and Community Development Ministry will implement a pilot project, known as "Diversion", for children charged with minor crime next year, said Deputy Prime Minister Dr Wan Azizah Wan Ismail.
She said the "Diversion" system would be implemented to keep children involved in crime that were minor or not serious out of the existing justice system.
"The children will not be detained. (Instead) they will go through an intervention programme that is specially prepared for them based on their offence and background," she said during an official visit to Sekolah Tunas Bakti, Sungai Besi, Kuala Lumpur.
Dr Wan Azizah, who is also Women, Family and Community Development Minister, said the intervention module would be introduced as an alternative rehabilitation method and would encompass counselling sessions, community service, payment of damages or repair.
However, she said, the matter would be submitted to the Attorney-General's Chambers for further discussion prior to its implementation.
She said the adverse psychological effects facing children who went through the legal process because of the minor offences they committed were worse that the offence itself.
Meanwhile, when met by reporters after the event, Dr Wan Azizah said two of the three female students who escaped from a moral rehabilitation centre at Asrama Akhlak (Perempuan) Jitra in Kubang Pasu yesterday, had been found.
She said the students were believed to have escaped because they were not able to adapt themselves to the condition at the centre.
"We want to rehabilitate them, but they don't understand. They felt like being confined. This is the perception that we need to change," she added.
Yesterday, Kubang district police chief Mohd Ismail Ibrahim said the incident occurred about 1am and had been discovered by a social welfare assistant after being informed by other inmates at about 1.17am.
The seven inmates had escaped through the hostel toilet via the ceiling before climbing on to the roof.


I love these commercials that woman is so fine!!!!
😂🤣😂🤣😂 Who ever created these are on point!
I just saw this on crunchyroll and I had to go looking for it. It's the funniest ad I've seen in a while.
Finally a company who doesn't thrash men for who they are. Thanks old spice. People we need to support old spice. Keep commenting and liking.
Finally saw this commercial on TV!
Why don't you buy your own damn deodorants, Lady!!
This is why women are a second class gender. A test by God for the real superior gender of men. Women are an obstacle to overcome and all men must face the deception, seduction, lies, and deceit of women one way or another. All men will eventually face it, some fail but some overcome.
Possibly the dumbest commercial ever.
Bro lavender is actually useful for destressing and lowering anxiety this is great.
Second half of this commercial makes me think I'm in a cell-shaded Zelda village.
the worst old spice add?
Honestly, the extended description is my favorite part.
Makes me smile every time .
Is that, who im looking for?
My Dad used this 60 years ago it stunk then and it really reeks now.
But if 2 dollars is all you can afford.
I forgot that actress name, from the Game. She's gorgeous. Talented as well.
Where's the part when a man breaks a wall?
We could all agree that women enjoys the most.
On this episode of "WHY IS THIS TRENDING?"
I want to be on the next commercial!!!! Where do I sign up????
Am I the only one who thinks 0:13 sounds like the Mc. Donald's jingle?
I confess I love Old Spice's deodorant. And I love lavender. Lasts longer than the girly stuff.
released 4 days ago, less than 50k views, but in trending?
I love Deon. So funny!
Hey Old Spice, can you bring back foxcrest? It was my favorite.
Now there's a nice slogan.
That's why they call it old spice it. Gives off that old spice smell but it's a little bit better than that old smell they added another fragrance to it.
Why are there religious crazies in this comment section?
Report them when you see them! I saw lots of reportable comments on this thread and reported them all!
I'm a woman who wears mens Old Spice Amber deodorant. Mens deodorant is just stronger and works better than female products.
Why the hell is this on trending?
Doesn't lavender decrease testosterone levels?

Green Energy, Cash Focus Of Conference in Sebring
By KEVIN BOUFFARDTHE LEDGER
If you're skeptical about the cost-saving potential for green energy and other environmental programs, drive over - better yet, bicycle - to Florida's Natural Growers in Lake Wales.
SEBRING | If you're skeptical about the cost-saving potential for green energy and other environmental programs, drive over - better yet, bicycle - to Florida's Natural Growers in Lake Wales.
"Just with the projects and processes we've implemented in the last two years, we've saved more than $100,000," said Valerie Gipson, engineering and sustainability coordinator for the Lake Wales growers' cooperative, the nation's third-largest orange juice processor and retailer.
Gipson was one of five speakers at Wednesday's Rural Energy for America Program (REAP) Conference in Sebring that was attended by about a dozen farmers and small business operators. Attendees heard about farm-based energy projects that may qualify for REAP money.
Among the Florida's Natural projects are solar panels on the company's Grove House visitor center across from its plant on U.S. 27 just north of State Road 60 that provide 30 percent of the building's power; water and conservation audits; and recycling.
REAP, a U.S. Department of Agriculture program, will give out almost $4.9 million in loan money and $1.1 million in grant funds this year in Florida alone, said Matthew Wooten, a department rural energy specialist.
Unfortunately, the deadline for applying for that money was June 30, he said, but more money will be available in 2011.
Grants of up to $500,000 and guaranteed loans up to $25 million are available to agricultural producers and rural small businesses for new renewable energy systems and energy conservation improvements, he said.
A grant alone will cover up to 25 percent of purchasing a green energy system or improvement, and a loan alone will cover 75 percent, Wooten said.
Most applicants apply for combined grant-loan financing, in which the grant would cover 25 percent and the loan 50 percent, he said. That means the applicant must come up with a 25 percent match from any non-federal source, which could include a private bank loan.
REAP financing is available only before purchase or construction of the energy system, Wooten said.
The USDA defines an "agriculture producer" as a person or entity that derives more than 50 percent of gross annual income from farming or ranching. Eligible non-agriculture businesses must meet the federal Small Business Administration definition for a small business.
Eligible producers and businesses also must be located in a "rural area," defined as outside a city of more than 50,000 people, including suburbs. In Polk County, that means any farm or business near Lakeland would not qualify, said Angela Prioleau, a USDA rural development official.
Projects eligible for REAP assistance include energy systems using biomass (recycled organic wastes), solar, wind, hydrogen and hydroelectric power, Wooten said. Eligible projects must use commercially available systems and not experimental or unproven technology.
Any farm equipment that can run on electric power could be converted to a renewable energy source, such a solar, said Blake Linville, owner of Adaptive Builders in Sebring, a certified contractor in commercial and residential solar systems.
Linville discussed a 10,000-watt solar system costing $60,000. A 25-percent REAP grant, federal tax credits and depreciation would reduce the price to $12,997, he said.
The 10,000-watt system could generate enough electricity to run a 2,000-gallon-per-minute irrigation pump for a 15-acre citrus grove, depending upon factors such as the pump's energy efficiency and sun exposure, Linville said. He cited other agriculture uses for solar energy already in place, including water spraying and heating systems in plant nurseries and water heaters for commercial fish farms.
The solar system would pay for itself after four years, even without federal funding, he said.
Edie Pettis of Fort Green in Hardee County, who has a 30-acre citrus grove, said the conference piqued her interest in converting her diesel irrigation pump, which costs at least $350 a month for fuel, to solar.
"I've been interested in it for a long time," she said. "At some point there's going to be a sweet spot where the technology gets cheaper more efficient for small growers."

It is situated on the shore of the river Cea, south-east of León province. The region has a population of around 2500 inhabitants habitants and has a long and rich history related to Way of Santiago Saint James´ Way.
It borders Valladolid and Palencia provinces, which is called "tierra de Campos". Travellers are required to pass by whether they come by car or by train as it is a natural frontier between Castilla and León.
The area survives mainly on the primary sector, agriculture and farming, combined with the service sector. The touristic sector is becoming more important due to Sahagun´s ideal location based in the middle of Way to Santiago.
The geographical situation of the villa in the Via Trajana has turned it into a birthplace of kings, saints and wise men. In Roman times it enjoyed a wide activity thanks to its incredible location in the Via Trajana between Legio VII and Italy( the Via which would take you to Astorga, Zaragoza and Tarragona).
San Lorenzo Church, entirely built of brick in the first half of XIII century, is another jewel of Facundino Romanesque style.
It is also worthwhile seeing "La Virgen del Puente" Chapel, on the French Way, from the XIII century as it is the first sanctuary in León's Jacobean Route dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
Activities can be programmed for groups of more than 4 people such as hiking, cycling routes, nature routes, cultural routes, archery, etc.

Prestonwood Country Club is the only private club in the Triangle to boast 54-holes of championship golf. All three courses, Highlands (#29), Meadows (#72), and Fairways (#91), are featured in this year's rankings of the top 100 golf courses in North Carolina by the Golf Panel. Recently, the green complex was renovationed by Jack Nicklaus protégé and past President of the American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA) Rick Robbins, voted one of the "Most Influential Figures in Golf" by the North Carolina Golf Panel. A full-service Pro Shop with a team of PGA Golf Class A professionals and a world-class selection of brand name golf equipment, apparel and accessories is available. Prestonwood Country Club is home to the PGA Champions Tour's SAS Championship, attracting legends such as Fred Couples, Nick Price & Hale Irwin.
On a beautiful afternoon on Monday, June 11th, 176 golfers from across eastern North Carolina gathered at North Ridge Country Club in Raleigh for the inaugural Catholic Charities Drive Out Hunger Golf Outing. Over $52,000 was raised at the golf outing and will go towards supporting Catholic Charities food pantries across the Diocese of Raleigh.
Last year, six Catholic Charities food pantries distributed nearly 3 million pounds of food. In Raleigh alone, Catholic Parish Outreach, the largest food pantry in eastern North Carolina, assisted an average of 8,700 people per month.
For Charles Schubert, the event was a family outing. "I have my grandson, my daughter, and my wife," he explained. Schubert signed up for this golf outing because of the Catholic Charities mission to help others. "We are our brother's keeper and that is why I am here," he said.
Participants enjoyed afternoon golf, a delicious meal generously provided by City BBQ, and a tasty dessert donated by Nothing Bundt Cakes.

Last Call Movie (2020) - Rhys Ifans, John Malkovich
Credit: Teaser Trailer
Duration: 01:41s 01 Dec 2020 0 shares 3 views
Last Call Movie (2020) Trailer HD - Plot synopsis: The last days of the poet Dylan Thomas as he dreams and drinks.
Dylan Thomas, the famous Welsh poet and writer, examines his life and loves in New York City in Last Call.
A fanciful drama about the last days of a literary legend.
Inspired by the real life of a man who was regarded as one of the twentieth century's most influential lyrical poets, Last Call stars Rhys Ifans (The Fantastic Flitcrofts) as Thomas, two-time Academy Award-nominee John Malkovich (In the Line of Fire, Places in the Heart) as Thomas's confidant and enabler, Dr. Felton, and in supporting roles, Rodrigo Santoro (Westworld), Romola Garai (Atonement), Tony Hale (Veep) and Zosia Mamet (Girls).
The story begins in New York City on Thomas's final tour in 1953 – a tour that was meant to save him from ruin.
The Welsh poet's reputation for heavy drinking and philandering would soon be forgotten as eager audiences are captivated by his poetry lectures.
One day at the local White Horse Tavern, he drinks 18 double scotches, naming each one after his life experience.
Soon his fantasies, his memories, and an uncertain present blend into a wild, surreal farewell to the world.
Full of poetry, passion, and an ultimate betrayal, the poet who gave us Do not go gentle into that good night, the play Under Milkwood, and stories and broadcasts such as A Child's Christmas in Wales and Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog, rages, loves and fights against the gathering darkness.

Alpine GTA – samochód sportowy klasy kompaktowej produkowany przez francuską markę Alpine w latach 1984 - 1991.

Historia i opis modelu

Pod koniec 1984 zaprezentowano nowy, bazujący na A310 model firmy o oznaczeniu GTA (Grand Tourisme Alpine). Samochód przypominał swojego poprzednika zarówno sylwetką, jak i rozwiązaniami konstrukcyjnymi, był jednak od niego znacznie bardziej nowoczesny i zaawansowany technicznie. Napęd pierwszej wersji V6 GT stanowił silnik V6 o pojemności 2,9 l (2849 cm³) i mocy 160 KM, pozwalający na osiągnięcie prędkości 235 km/h. W 1985 roku pojawił się model V6 Turbo, którego napęd stanowił turbodoładowany silnik V6 o pojemności 2,5 l, rozwijający moc 200 KM. Dzięki niskiej masie pojazdu, wystarczało to do osiągnięcia prędkości 250 km/h i przyspieszenia od 0 do 100 km/h w czasie 6,3 s. Samochód oferował więc dynamikę porównywalną z konkurencją spod znaku Porsche, będąc od niej znacznie tańszym. Niestety, firma Renault była przez klientów zbyt silnie kojarzona z produkcją aut małolitrażowych i jej sportowy model nie odniósł większego sukcesu na rynku. Produkcję GTA zakończono w 1991 roku. W 1984 roku powstało 245 sztuk, ogółem wyprodukowano 6494, w większości V6 Turbo.
