Stinky Steve Encourages a Suicide
"Stinky Steve Outtrim" should now be known as "Sick Steve Outtrim," as he is literally encouraging a pliable and suggestible man-child to kill himself.
Crazy, but true.
All because Gabe Hoffman allegedly doxxed Zack McQuaid. But did he, really?
No. He did not.
In the Winter of 2019, passing into the New Year of 2020, Zack McQuaid made a series of virulent and defamatory videos about Gabe Hoffman that were infested with antisemitic content. I cannot link to them, as YouTube struck McQuaid's channel, and he apparently failed to post backups anywhere. I do have many of them archived, but I saved them for the benefit of law enforcement--not to help a videographer who fails to back up his work.
As a Jew, Hoffman was not amused. As a wealthy financier with lawyers on retainer, Hoffman was also not without options. So he sued the shit out of Zack McQuaid, a Canadian, using Canadian lawyers in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, demanding a million dollars in compensation and humiliating retractions. (Jacqueline Weaver, "Gabe Hoffman vs. Zachary McQuaid aka Zack Quaid," Tracking the Leopard Meroz, February 7, 2020).
McQuaid's response? McQuaid is a 26 year old man-child, a former mental patient, and an apparent professional victim. McQuaid stuck his head in the sand and recited "la-la-la" and pretended that it was all not actually happening. A very irresponsible and ineffective reaction.
McQuaid listened to his Svengali, Thomas Schoenberger, who is infamous on Twitter and YouTube for successfully absconding and avoiding legal service for multiple legal cases from process servers, thwarting our system of justice, holding it, in a sense, in abeyance, delaying his inevitable appearance before a judge in a real court of law. Alas: Ontario Courts are not California courts, McQuaid was served electronically as well, and he foolishly believed that he could imitate his controller, Schoenberger, and that he could avoid service and hence suspend the legal process.
There is a reason why some survive and some do not. Darwin is not a theory, not really. Darwinian self-selection is a confirmable law of nature which anyone can observe in action, especially in a case such as this. Through his serial bad decisions, imitating Schoenberger, and pretending that he could wish his lawsuit into nonexistence, McQuaid literally self-selected himself to suffer a grievous doom.
Is it an exaggeration to state that Zack McQuaid is suggestible? Not at all. He is transparently weak and compliant, and he craves, above all, to be told what to do by someone else. In short, McQuaid is a biological meat puppet, just waiting for a Svengali puppet master to appear and instruct him. Because God forbid that McQuaid be responsible for himself, or make his own decisions. Heaven forfend!
And this is absolutely the sort of programmable idiot that Thomas Schoenberger, human engineer extraordinaire, lives for. The last time that he had such a pliable victim was Sam Fullerton, alias Zelador Petroff, who believed the lies of Schoenberger that he was making videos and music for a nonexistent Cicada 3301 SONY movie. Fullerton ended up dead after he realized that there was no SONY movie, and he snapped, dying in a confrontation with Arkansas sheriffs deputies that also claimed the life of a cop.
When Schoenberger encountered McQuaid, he lost no time. He instructed McQuaid to make antisemitic videos accusing Gabe Hoffman of unforgivable crimes, and McQuaid was pleased to do so, especially when Michael Levine, the alleged "best friend" of Schoenberger, sent him whopping $63.77 dollar fees for making videos that were earmarked "Cicada," for no reason that anyone understands.
Let me review the situation for those who are perplexed:
Schoenberger hates Hoffman, and he claims that Hoffman masterminded the murder of Isaac Kappy. Kappy's death remains adjudicated a suicide. There are no indications that the case will be reopened. Schoenberger is a social engineer, a manipulator of the weak-minded, and fairly inept at it, but competent enough with someone as pliable as McQuaid.
Schoenberger spots McQuaid one day on YouTube, and he tweets to McQuaid, "That is a hell of a video. Set up a PayPal account, people will donate. You are really talented!" Which of course McQuaid immediately does. The video was a criticism of Gabe Hoffman. (Ontario Superior Court of Justice, Gabriel Alan Hoffman v. Zachary McQuaid, December 19, 2019, p. 11).
And then Schoenberger directs his "best friend" Michael Levine, a wealthy and successful Hollywood composer who inexplicably funds a convicted felon and sociopath, to pay McQuaid for antisemitic and defamatory videos. Levine actually does so.
For some reason, and I do not think that anybody understands why, McQuaid unburdened himself to Manuel Chavez III, an avowed enemy of Thomas Schoenberger, and a notorious net troll, and he actually shared receipts and emails sent to him by Levine and Schoenberger with Chavez. This was an incredibly self-destructive and foolish move. It defies logic.
Chavez, being Chavez, immediately shared them with the world, and then everybody knew that Schoenberger was directing Levine to pay McQuaid to produce antisemitic hit videos targeting Hoffman.
All clear?
You cannot make up crazier shit. But it all actually happened.
So at this point in time, February 18, 2020, McQuaid is still sued by Hoffman, and since McQuaid continued making defamatory hit videos about Hoffman in defiance of the order of the court, McQuaid is actually now in contempt of court, an inconvenient legal fact which Hoffman will surely exploit. ("An interim, interlocutory and permanent injunction" is in place, Hoffman v. McQuaid, p. 3).
McQuaid still has not, as far as I am aware, hired a lawyer, or even sought a public defender at no cost to himself. In other words, McQuaid has apparently done nothing to address his predicament, aside from making whining videos and tweeting that he is weak and stupid and innocent and helpless and he is the victim of a predatory Gabe Hoffman, who merely wants anyone making antisemitic videos about him to cease. That is all that Hoffman actually wants. He has enough money. He does not need more, and no one is under any illusion that McQuaid has a pot to piss in, much less any money. But no one should tolerate utter racist lies about them to be distributed across social media.
McQuaid apparently does not understand this simple fact. He is sued. He is enjoined by court order from continuing to defame Hoffman. As he is in contempt of court at this time, his legal predicament looks increasingly precarious. McQuaid appears to be a professional victim. The court case describes him as "of limited or no financial means and education…and a self-professed history of mental illness." (Hoffman v. McQuaid, p. 9). Schoenberger elsewhere says that McQuaid was previously diagnosed with depression and PTSD. He is 26 years old. An artist. And helpless. And incredibly stupid. He is programmed by Thomas Schoenberger.
So Jacqueline Weaver, a writer of some note, an incisive observer of social media, publishes legal documents posted by the court. These documents are public record, they are not redacted in any way, they are not sealed. Like all legal documents, they use real names, not pseudonyms, and real addresses in meatspace. Anyone who knows where to look for such documents can find them.
This scares the hell out of Zack McQuaid, as he believes that the world is populated with murderers and rapists and now, because Jacqueline Weaver published the public legal documents about his case, they all know exactly where Zach McQuaid lives, and he is afraid that he will be raped and murdered.
He is, in fact, "threatened for his life," to quote a Thomas Schoenberger sock account, @sdsproat, on Twitter.
This is, by the way, the same world that you and I live in. I think that we all accept that there are bad people in our world, there are, indeed, rapists, and murderers, and you just never know when they will strike. Is it possible that they will descend upon Zack McQuaid and rape and murder him? Sure. Just like it could happen to you, or to me, or to anyone else.
But Zack blames Gabe Hoffman for his sudden vulnerability to the rapists and murderers of the world, because Gabe Hoffman sued him. McQuaid does not stop and realize, "well, I defamed this prominent Jewish financier with a track record of suing bastards," and then proceed to the next idea that occurs naturally to you and I. No. Zack blames Hoffman for suing him, end of story.
Hoffman is wrong in McQuaid's mind for being litigious and Jewish and unwilling to tolerate McQuaid's defamations. That is how Zack McQuaid's thinking functions. That is the sort of worldview that he walks around with.
Then McQuaid condemns Jacqueline Weaver, because she is a writer, and because she did not redact a legal document that is a public record. Somehow it is Ms. Weaver's responsibility to ensure that Zack McQuaid's true name and public address are not available to anyone. Jacqueline Weaver performed a public service making us aware of the specifics of this lawsuit, as Thomas Schoenberger is evading legal service from multiple other plaintiffs who are looking to nuke him in a court of law. She is not obligated to sanitize Zack McQuaid's legal trail. But in McQuaid's mind, she is, "this Jackie woman he has writing stuff for him." I am aware of no financial relationship between Ms. Weaver and Mr. Hoffman. Mr. McQuaid should take care that he does not get sued by Jackie Weaver.
Absurd, yes.
So as I said, Zack McQuaid then responds by tweeting. Rather than hiring a lawyer, or retaining a public defender at no cost to himself, Zack McQuaid tweets. It goes without saying that McQuaid's address would not appear in further legal documents posted by the court if he were represented by a competent attorney: instead, that attorney's address would appear on legal documents.
No matter. Instead of doing the logical, responsible thing, the ordained commonsensical thing to react to getting sued, McQuaid tweets. This is indicative of a childish man who lives more in cyberspace than in the real world. In fact, he tweets @TorontoPolice many times. There are no indications that they noticed the tweets, or even care about them. Running to Mommy is not a logical course of action in our world. Tweeting to a police department is not an effective course of action.
But McQuaid is so fearful that the murderers and rapists of the world now know where he lives, he is so unnerved by this, that he claims that he is in fear for his very life. Yes. McQuaid goes there. He fears for his life. He tweets to all the murderers and rapists of the world that he is in fear for his life, and that his address in meatspace is now public record. And he blames Jacqueline Weaver and most of all, Gabe Hoffman.
It is a short step from there for Schoenberger to assert that McQuaid is "suicidal."
The Twitter account Stephie @sdsproat is a known Thomas Schoenberger sock account, it is either Schoenberger himself masquerading as a mythical woman named Stephanie or it is a woman named Stephanie who so slavishly parrots Schoenberger's thinking and words that she is indistinguishable from him. Through Stephanie, or as Stephanie, Schoenberger then claimed that Zack McQuad was suicidal over the theoretical threat to him from murderers and rapists that Gabe Hoffman allegedly pointed at his residence.
This is the thing. If your friend is suicidal, what do you do? You reach out, you make sure that they are referred to competent psychiatric authority, if necessary, you notify the authorities and you explain that you are concerned for the welfare of your friend. What you do not do is tweet.
When your friend is beset by irrational paranoias, you try to calm them down, you speak rationally and logically to them, you explain to them that their phobias are irrational. You gently take the bong out of their hands and recommend that they give the ganja a break for a bit. You explain to them that nobody is interested enough in them to come to their residence and rape and murder them. But above all, you do not simply tweet, and think that that is an effective course of action.
That is irrational enough and irresponsible enough that it almost makes such horrible friends complicit in the bizarre worldview of the insane. And in fact, what actually happened is that the so-called "friends" of Zack McQuaid reinforced his phobias and paranoias, they pushed a suicide narrative, they continued defaming Mr. Hoffman, and they amplified horrible antisemitic lies about him.
And that is where this whole situation stands.
Enter Sick Steve Outtrim, formerly known as Stinky Steve Outtrim. On Jacqueline Weaver's blog, in the comments to her article, "Gabe Hoffman vs. Zachary McQuaid aka Zack Quaid," on Tracking the Leopard Meroz (February 7, 2020), Mr. Outtrim wrote:
"The young man being sued has stated on Twitter today that he is afraid for his life after being doxxed from this blog."
Mr. Outtrim accepts that it is not Jacqueline Weaver's obligation to redact legal documents, so he throws the Christian card like crazy:
"Do the Courts always incorporate Christian values? Or sometimes should mercy and humanity play a part in decisions of judgement?"
Ms. Weaver is not playing, she lacks all patience, and she will not permit her blog to be abused by trolls, even wealthy trolls with blogs of their own like Sick Steve Outtrim who is enabling and amplifying the absurd rapist and murderer suicide thesis of Zack McQuaid.
"The defendant decided not to defend himself in court, although most certainly someone like yourself could have hired him an attorney. Thus, by choosing to default, rather than standing up for his public statements, I have decided to leave the complaint "as is." The defendant is a full adult and responsible for his words and his actions. I attempted to warn him of the manipulations and lies of Thomas Schoenberger. Have you done that, or are you encouraging the defendant to manipulate others by exhibiting an unmanly whining?"
Well, we know precisely what Sick Steve Outtrim is doing: he is encouraging efforts to manipulate others with unmanly whining. Ms. Weaver is old school: men need to be men, and men need to handle their affairs with dignity. Ms. Weaver is in her 60's, she is rich in experience and wisdom, and Zack McQuaid, in fact, Stinky Steve Outtrim, even Thomas Schoenberger, could learn much from her if they simply paid attention.
Zack McQuaid is manifestly incapable of doing this. Jacqueline Weaver is attempting to help him—she is attempting to teach him to stand up and take responsibility for his own actions.
Then I stepped in with my comment, which anyone can read, as Jacqueline Weaver kindly permitted it to be posted on her blog. In sum, I said:
"Outtrim, in attacking Ms. Weaver on her own blog, is manipulating McQuaid's feigned helplessness and using it as a weapon just like another partisan participant in this absurd debacle."
Well. Sick Steve could not stand for that. Plus, I mentioned that I outed him as an antisemite, and that makes Sick Steve angry, indeed. He posts a scorecard, a patented Outtrim maneuver, listing "Close Jewish friends of mine: 4," and "Rabbis giving a blessing at my wedding: 1."
Stinky Sick Steve Outtrim is angry at me, he is absolutely incensed by me, and it does not help that I call him names and mock him unmercifully. I used to be quite a fan of his work, until he illustrated his absurd leaps of logic and bizarre theorizing in slavish support of the malign agendas of Thomas Schoenberger. Stinky Steve claims that I am a colleague of Michael Aquino's, simply because we both were assigned to the same military base in 1986. That is the degree of precision that we can expect from lurid, ludicrous Sick Steve.
Stinky Sick Steve summed me up like this:
"If he dies, oh well, he deserved it, because he slandered a rich guy." Is that who you want to be?"
Then he claims that McQuaid is somehow being judged and found guilty by public opinion, "before even getting the chance to mount a defense."
Uh, no. McQuaid was sued long ago, so long ago that he had a full 30 days prior to February 5, 2020, which was the date upon which he was technically in default to the court and in contempt of a court order to cease defaming Gabe Hoffman. McQuaid had a chance to legally respond. He chose not to.
Sick Stinky Steve also claims that I am "stalking someone to suicide." That is pretty bold, Mr. Outtrim. I will remember that. In fact, I will make a note of that. Could be useful at some future point. And no: I do not appreciate it.
So I replied, again on Jacqueline Weaver's blog.
"You corrupt, deluded, partisan jackass. "Suicide" is Zack's word, he claims that he is not suicidal, which I am happy to hear, while you and your co-conspirators throw the term around and encourage suicidal ideation in a weak-minded minion with a psychiatric history of institutionalization. You seem to desperately hope that Zack does kill himself, as that would be ultimate ammunition in your psy-war against Gabe Hoffman. "Pathetic" does not begin to describe you."
Meanwhile, the pitiable Zack McQuaid made another ineffectual video that racked up 59 views (7 Likes, 14 Dislikes) from his 28 subscribers as of February 17, 2020. I wonder when Zack will get the message that tweeting and making videos is not an effective course of action in the real world.
Some people just cannot learn.

Q: Stop jQuery from automatically refreshing the page on SELECT option change I've inherited a badly programmed website. It happens to use jQuery v2.1.3 (against which I have no general complaints). On a page I've placed a select dropdown list. When a user changes the selection in this list, the page refreshes.
In Chrome developer tools, the change event listener turns out to be a line in the generic jQuery library that's loaded, from what I can see. The event handler is this:
if ( !(eventHandle = elemData.handle) ) {
    eventHandle = elemData.handle = function( e ) {
        // Discard the second event of a jQuery.event.trigger() and
        // when an event is called after a page has unloaded
        return typeof jQuery !== strundefined && jQuery.event.triggered !== e.type ?
            jQuery.event.dispatch.apply( elem, arguments ) : undefined;
    };
}

There is currently no JavaScript hooked up to this field (besides whatever's latching on to it by virtue of it merely being present in the page).
My question is how to prevent this from happening. I don't want pages to refresh whenever select lists happen to be changed, just because jQuery is loaded.
ETA: On the suggestion of @theAnubhav below, I've updated the outputted HTML to the below, but the page still refreshes on change:
<div class="field"><select id="field4860fb3b7d994e8d964fc71b24e32752">
  <option value=""></option>
  <option value="AF">Afghanistan</option>
  <option value="AL">Albania</option>
  <option value="DZ">Algeria</option>
  <option value="AD">Andorra</option>
  <option value="AO">Angola</option>
  <option value="AR">Argentina</option>
  <option value="AM">Armenia</option>
  <option value="AU">Australia</option>
  <option value="AT">Austria</option>
  <option value="AZ">Azerbaijan</option>
  <option value="BS">Bahamas</option>
  <option value="BH">Bahrain</option>
  <option value="BD">Bangladesh</option>
  <option value="FR">France</option>
  <option value="DE">Germany</option>
  <option value="US">United States</option>
</select>
<script>$('#field4860fb3b7d994e8d964fc71b24e32752').on('change',function(e){ e.stopPropogation(); });</script>
</div>

A: You will need to override this event with another custom event to prevent this event from executing for your dropdown. You need to use event.stopPropogation/event.stopImmediatePropogation in event handler for this dropdown,
something like,
$('#mycustomdropdown').on('change',function(e){
    /* some more custom code */
    e.stopPropogation();
});

The event.stopPropagation() method stops the bubbling of an event to parent elements, preventing any parent event handlers from being executed.

Crossroads has teamed up with Shotwell, a boutique in Union Square, to create a pop-up buying station downtown. And the higher-ups asked yours truly to be the buyer. So the past few Thursdays I have spent my mornings in this incredible space among lovely people, beautiful clothes (new and used), homegrown succulents, locally crafted jewelry, and vintage housewares.
Who doesn't love a flowering succulent in an ornately decorated tea cup?
The store is packed full of details, such as this "nail in a board" sunglass stand. It is so simple and functional. The homemade displays combined with the vintage sale items and living plants create a homey, comforting aesthetic. And the people that work there are really friendly and easy to talk to. I think this is the beginning of long and fruitful relationship.
Happy Cinco de Mayo! At a work meeting tonight we're celebrating with burritos, and we might go out for margaritas after.

Settlement development is associated with financial challenges for many cities and municipalities. Greater numbers of residents and jobholders spur a corresponding increase in the demand for public services and infrastructure. Using its own simulation model, EBP has long been helping municipalities and private real-estate developers assess the impact of settlement development on municipal budgets.
Many cities and municipalities in Switzerland have experienced sustained growth in population and real-estate development over the past several years. And while the trend is expected to continue, many municipal authorities find themselves grappling with budget shortfalls as a result of stagnating tax revenues, demographic changes and new societal demands.
The ability to forecast the financial impact of long-term settlement development has therefore become ever more important for many cities and municipalities. But it is not just long-term settlement development. The advantage of being able to anticipate a financial impact also applies to individual real-estate projects, especially when one considers the increasing significance of ensuring public acceptance for such projects.
EBP has many years of experience when it comes to helping public agencies and private real-estate developers assess the interdependencies between settlement development, population growth, job growth and municipal budgets.
EBP has developed a simulation tool that enables municipal planners to analyze the impact of long-term settlement development and individual real-estate projects on municipal budgets. The tool's area-development component calculates future resident and jobholder figures on the basis of analyses of area-development potential. The results can then be used as a basis for estimating corresponding infrastructure needs. The tool's financial-planning component allows planners to model the resulting monetary flows in investment appraisals and in a given municipality's current account. This permits one to ascertain cash-flow and investment needs, as well as the corresponding net present value. Since its development in 2007, EBP has used the tool in around 20 different cities and municipalities.

Christine Caine has been described as an Australian activist, author, evangelist and international speaker. She is a regular speaker at Hillsong events, at Joyce Meyer's conferences, at Louie Giglio's Passion Conferences, and at Bill Johnson's Bethel Church. In addition, Christine was a speaker at the ecumenical "Together 2016" event (http://herescope.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/resetting-reformation.html).
From her website (http://christinecaine.com/content/a21/gjqtnc) we learn that she and her husband, Nick, are the founders of A21, Propel Women, and Zoe churches. Here are descriptions of these organizations:
"A21 - an anti-human trafficking organization dedicated to abolishing injustice in the 21st century. A21's comprehensive approach includes raising awareness, preventing future trafficking, taking legal action, and providing rehabilitation services to survivors."
"Propel Women – Propel is a Christian ministry that believes in the passion, purpose, and potential of every woman everywhere. Propel exists to activate every woman to make an impact in her world for the Kingdom."
"Zoe Churches - building life changing churches across the continent of Europe. Our mission is to reach and influence our city by building a Christ-centered, Bible-based church, changing mindsets and empowering people to lead and impact in every sphere of life."
Then, on Feb. 17-19, 2021, she will be hosting the "Kingdom Advisors Annual Conference."
Christine Caine uses just enough biblical language to deceive people into thinking she preaches God's Word, but she truly preaches a social gospel, promotes dominionism, and the 7MM.
According to this link (https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEkcemurTotG9CfD1TIaQ-Zz1pc7_TH8-W0) on Jan. 28 at 4 pm EST, a Multi-Faith Neighbors Network National Call that will include a special roundtable of faith leaders will occur. This call will feature Christine Caine, Dalia Mogahed (Muslim author, advisor and consultant) and Amy-Jill Levine (Jewish university professor).
They will discuss the topic of religion in the public square, the importance of multi-faith relationships, mending the divide in our nation, repudiating sex trafficking, and more. This call will also feature Josh Dickson, who was the National Faith Engagement Director for the Biden Administration Transition Team. He will deliver greetings from the Biden team and briefly discuss how we can unite to build civility in order to address societal challenges.
At the Multi-Faith Neighbors Network "About" link (https://www.mfnnetwork.com/about-us) we find the following information:
MFNN was established to build resilient communities of mutual trust and respect among faith leaders through civic engagement, authentic relationships and honest dialogue.
MFNN develops grassroots movements built on mutual trust and respect among individual faith leaders, their families, their congregations, and their broader communities.
MFNN begins at the local level, in carefully targeted cities and towns across the United States, based on polling data, and the willingness of faith leaders and congregations to participate in this initiative.
Christine Caine is a regular presenter at Hillsong and it is possible that she has been influenced by Brian Houston's beliefs as expressed in this video
"How do you view God? In a desert there's two types of birds: there's vultures and there's hummingbirds. One lives off dead carcasses, rotting meat. The other lives off the beautiful, sweet nectar in a particular flower on a particular desert plant. In the same desert, they both find what they're looking for. Do you know – take it all the way back into the Old Testament and the Muslim and you, we actually serve the same God. Allah to a Muslim, to us Abba Father God." Of course, Brian Houston tried to recant this statement, but it is what it is.
And, concerning the Multi-Faith Neighbors Network, these and others can work all they want to establish peace, but there will be no peace until the Prince of Peace returns to rule and reign (Isa. 2:4; Rev. 11:1)!


Discussion in 'Christian Advice' started by Beautyinsteadofashes, Sep 26, 2018.
Good evening. So, I grew up not knowing anyone on my father's side of the family, including my father. But after making contact with him, I've also found other family members online. My father has three sisters, all married. Under "people you may know" someone came up with the same last name as one of my aunts. I know the guy isn't my aunt and uncle's son, so he must be related to my uncle. I know they are family from reviewing their page.
At any rate, I added the guy and his posts are so awful. Really nasty. Lots of swearing. One was really kinda racist. Lots of sexual, inappropriate stuff. Perhaps I need to be a little more tolerant? As I am an adult and I had some pretty crude humor myself and swore quite a bit just years ago. But I have grown and changed. As I am today, I find some of his stuff gross and even offensive.
I've considered just going ahead and deleting him from my page, as I'm not even sure how we are related just that he's related to my uncle some kind of way. But then I think, what if he were to see something on my page that might influence him in a positive way? What if, for example, I posted a verse of scripture and he saw it and it touched his heart?
If I delete him I may never know.
Is it worth it to leave him on my page in hopes I could make a difference? Or am I making myself at risk of being negatively influenced?
I'd just unfollow him so you never have to see what he posts. There's no need to unfriend totally.
I had to unfollow some family members on Facebook for those same reasons.
Go and stand on a chair, and get a friend to pull you down off it. Easy?
Now go back and stand again on the chair and try to pull your friend up to where you are. Difficult?
It is a settled fact that it is easier for someone to pull you down to their low standards, than for you to pull them up to your higher standards.
I know of a young Christian man who would go into the red light areas of the city to try and win the transvestites and prostitutes to the Lord. He failed, and ended up in their sinful practices, destroying his faith and his testimony. Instead of him being able to raise their up to his Christian standards, they pulled him down to their sinful practices.
If you continue contact with this person, I predict that you will soon become like him yourself more readily than he will change and become like you.
Yeah, like they say, if you dance with the devil the devil does not change. He changes you.
After seeing yet another vulgar post, I unfollowed him. So I will no longer see his postings but I presume he can still see mine. I may never positively influence this guy but I won't continue to be subject to offensive material.


Pound Sterling has declined to its lowest price in the last three weeks. The bearish move which continued early in the London session broke below 1.292 support.
October 2018 | AtoZMarkets - GBPUSD , in the last couple of weeks, has been in a massive decline. Brexit talk with the EU has been unsuccessful. Pressure is mounting on Prime Minister Theresa May within the anti-Brexit hardliners in the opposition party. There was a recent report that May might have 'lost control' over Brexit issues. All these ongoing while Dollar recovers from the previous falls. This scenario might continue in the coming weeks as the GBP further to the USD.
Price started this week with a fast 100 Pips drop to 1.295. There was bullish recovery back above 1.3 but couldn't continue as price surrenders further to downside pressures. In the London session today, it plunges further and currently trades around 1.29 handle after breaking below 1.292 support level.
In the last update, we continued the bearish wave count from 1.326. Price broke below 1.3 handle and was expected to continue below 1.292 support. The chart below shows the new update.
Price is testing 1.292 after a brief move below it. The bearish impulse wave is expected to continue its 5th wave down to 1.275. Only a break above 1.3080 would invalidate the emerging bearish impulse wave. This forecast expects price to stay below 1.292 on the way to 1.275-1.285. Brexit still poses the biggest risk.

Team Spotlight: DINE Academy
Dine Academy's Founder, Sonia Tiatia
Three words to describe Dine Academy? Industry driven bootcamp.
Dine Academy takes teenagers in need of career support and offers them hospitality experience to make them work ready. Their goal is to turn them into employable young people through hands on training, first hand experience and personal mentoring in a demanding work environment; a process that is intensive but effective.
Dine Academy is the brainchild of Sonia Tiatia, an industry professional who came up with the idea after working as the school liaison for an industry training organisation. Her job was to match companies with young apprentices, but she struggled to find teenagers with the preliminary skills and employment history to take on these roles. Concerned with the number of motivated young people unable to find employment, Sonia decided that a programme was needed to transform these teens and make them work ready. She now works in partnership with employers and with local high schools to identify young people bursting with potential, help them through a hospitality 'bootcamp', and then is a supportive ear for DINE trainees and networks needing new team members, tertiary/career discussions, or apprenticeship and training options.
One of the most impressive things about DINE's process is the bootcamps typically only last six days through the school holidays, but in that time the participants experience transformative change. From identifying which aspect of hospitality they might be best suited to and getting a better understanding of the work ethic required in the industry, to most importantly developing the confidence to succeed in a role like this. Sonia compares this "employability revamp" to taking a B Grade house and renovating or 'flipping it' into an A Grade. In just a couple of weeks. The other most impressive thing about DINE is their success rate of 80-100% of young people offered ongoing paid employment (casual and part time shifts while still at school) after just one week of training.
Young people often find the door closed on them because they don't have the 'experience'. Employers are not always willing to take a risk on a new applicant who is unfamiliar with employment expectations and work ethic, so teens fail to access opportunities that would only be available to someone with confidence and commercial experience. But Dine Academy meets young people at the level that they are at, and challenges them beyond their comfort zones until they break through their confidence and cultural barriers that often create cycles of unemployment. By nurturing young people into their first jobs while they are still completing high school, Dine is helping develop life-long work habits that reduce hardship and the risk of welfare dependency.
Sonia feels that the support of Launchpad Work has enabled her to expand Dine Academy's impact. With templates on how to articulate the idea to industry partners and how to create a sustainable financial model, the programme has graduated from a voluntary labour of love to an emerging pre-employment training business. Her mentors have given her confidence and access to their networks, with specialised expertise in financial forecasting and commercial branding that has shed light on the value of her business model and values.
Dine Academy initially began as a school funnelled programme, but with an increase in support, it has recently extended its reach to include unemployed young people (not in employment, education or training, NEET). Their goal is to train and support as many young people into employment as possible. Many teens feel like they don't have options, but Dine is giving them the opportunity to jump into new environments and develop them into confident employable young adults. By providing open training focussed on employment and engagement, Dine is determined to empower young people with hope, motivation and brighter futures.

German Cabinet Proposes Plastic Levy That Places Increased Litter Responsibility On Manufacturers
by Rudy Sanchez on 11/15/2022 | 1 Minute Read
Besides beers, nice cars, and lederhosen, Germany is also known for being some of the best recyclers in the world.
German citizens diligently separate and properly dispose of their garbage, with up to eight containers used to sort the materials. Plus, the European country boasts a recycling rate of 70%. However, the Teutonic nation still sees room for improvement, and its cabinet is proposing a law that will impose more responsibility for cleaning up litter, specifically Single Use Plastic (SUP) items like takeout containers, beverage cups, and cigarette filters.
The levy on plastic manufacturers would begin in the spring of 2025 and would be proportional to their 2024 production levels. The environmental ministry estimates that the proposed SUP law would raise $445.10 million in funds distributed to municipalities for local pick-up efforts.
"Cigarette butts, bottles, to-go cups, and disposable food containers, unfortunately, end up far too often on roadsides, in our parks and forests and are a reflection of the litter crisis," Steffi Lemke, Germany's environmental minister, said.
"With the new law, we are counteracting the waste of resources and environmental pollution and, at the same time, relieving the burden on cities and municipalities," Lemke continued.
"Reusable plastic, not throwaway plastic, is to become the new standard."
The law still needs to work its way through Germany's parliament houses, Bundestag and Bundesrat. That said, here's to countries attempting to enact EPR laws.

The Holidays Are Getting Saucy With Hidden Valley Ranch's 'Ranch On A Branch'


CANBERRA, Australia – For a moment on the floor of Parliament, Australia's political landscape seemed upside down. Prime Minister Julia Gillard, whose party is widely expected to lose elections next year, was eviscerating the man who seems destined to replace her.
As opposition leader Tony Abbott sat stony-faced and silent, she ran down a list of comments he had made. She complained he once questioned whether it was a bad thing that men had more power than women in Australian society, and that he had described abortion as "the easy way out." He once stood beside protesters carrying banners that said "ditch the witch."
Gillard, who lives with a common-law partner, said she also was offended when Abbott once suggested she should "politically speaking, make an honest woman of herself" by taking the country's carbon tax to voters.
Given those comments, she said, it was too much when Abbott tried to oust House of Representatives Speaker Peter Slipper over crude and sexist terms Slipper made in text messages.
"I will not be lectured about sexism and misogyny by this man. I will not," Gillard said. "And the government will not be lectured about sexism and misogyny by this man. Not now, not ever."
It was a convincing blow against Abbott, who has had trouble appealing to women voters. Gillard's 15-minute onslaught on Oct. 9 quickly became an international Internet sensation, and pleased many women who thought Australia's first woman prime minister had long been too quiet on the issue of sexism.
Voters are increasingly favoring her over Abbott, and the popularity of her center-left Labor Party has risen from recent record lows. But the party remains well below the 38 percent support that saw it scrape through elections to form a fragile minority government in 2010, and analysts doubt that her newfound fire will turn around Labor's prospects.
"Every now and again, a prime minister has a great moment in the Parliament when they absolutely demolish their opponent, and she had one of those," said Nick Economou, a political scientist at Monash University.
"What's been interesting about Gillard is it's taken her such a long time to get to the point where she suddenly looks like a leader," he added.
Abbott later dismissed the criticisms as part of a smear campaign.
"The Australian people are sick and tired of the kind of personal attacks that we see again and again from the prime minister and her senior ministers," Abbott told reporters.
"I'll leave the personal attacks and the cheap grubby smears to the Labor Party," he said.
A poll by Sydney market researcher Newspoll, published in The Australian newspaper on Tuesday, found that more than three in four respondents (78 percent) said Gillard's response to the sexism issue had been "about right," including 83 percent of women and 72 percent of men. Only 16 percent accused her of overreacting, while 5 percent said she had underreacted.
Voters were more divided over whether Abbott truly had behaved in a sexist way toward Gillard recently: Most Labor Party supporters said he had; most backers of Abbott's conservative coalition said he hadn't.
The poll was based on a random telephone survey of 1,218 voters nationwide on the preceding weekend. It had a 3 percentage point margin of error.
Newspoll CEO Martin O'Shannessy said he does not expect Gillard's speech to have a lasting impact on the political landscape.
"It may have had some impact, but my sense is that it's been a very divisive influence and only entrenched the views of people on both sides," O'Shannessy said.
Economou expects Abbott's coalition will win the next election convincingly, but blames Abbott's poor strategies for allowing Labor back in the game.
The Labor Party has been hobbled by its approval of an unpopular carbon tax on major polluters that took effect in July — a tax that Gillard had previously vowed not to introduce. But the effects of the tax on the cost of living have so far fallen short of Abbott's dire predictions.
Abbott has branded it a "great big tax on everything" and warned that it would have an "almost unimaginable" impact. Inflation rose by 1.4 percent in the three months since July 1.
"The problem for Abbott at the moment is that all his tactics are backfiring on him really badly," Economou said. "He's really lucky that there's no alternative to him in the party."
Abbott, who turns 55 on Sunday, is a former journalist and one-time seminarian who gained a Rhodes Scholarship through his boxing prowess. He has led the Liberal Party since 2009, when he deposed Malcolm Turnbull by a single vote of party lawmakers.
Turnbull, Australia's richest lawmaker and a former merchant banker, remains popular with the public but is loathed by many party colleagues.
"A lot will depend on the extent to which the Liberal Party room panics," Economou said. "If I was in the Liberal Party room, I would be saying: 'Look, just hold firm, because the indications are that the government will be defeated.'"
Gillard, a 51-year-old former law firm partner, is Australia's first woman and first atheist prime minister, as well as the first to live with a common law partner.
She also leads the country's first minority government since World War II. The compromises and deals she has been forced to make to keep independent and Greens lawmakers in her coalition are seen by many Australians as weakness or expedience, but her speech against Abbott may have tempered those perceptions.
Kirsty McLaren, an Australian National University researcher of feminism in Australia, said that although many women welcomed the speech, it had been risky for Gillard to deliver.
"Many women are familiar with the fact that complaining about sexism is often ineffective or just leads to further criticism," McLaren said. "Gillard's speech was a long time coming and I think long overdue."
McLaren said degrading cartoons of Gillard and criticisms of her dress and figure reflect expectations that women be judged by their appearance.
She added that the speech resonated for many Australian women who are "feeling increasingly frustrated — whether they agree with her policies or not — by the level of contempt directed to Julia Gillard."


Can someone please tell me how it is even possible that I have a 9 month old baby?
Aria has been alive as long as I was pregnant, and that is a really scary thought. She is definitely turning into a little pre-toddler now, and her baby days are well and truly behind her... but as any mum will know, she'll always be my baby!
Aria is well and truly crawling now, and my gosh is that girl fast!
She is trying to pull herself up on everything, and is in the first stages of walking when we hold her hands.
Her top two teeth are starting to cut through, as well as her next two bottom teeth! Which means we are going through teething gel/powders/Calpol like nobody's business.
She is chatting non stop and can say 'mama' and 'dada' when she wants us.
Aria is still going down around 6:30/7:00 but has been waking a littler earlier than usual, sometimes at 5:30! I can't tell you how glad I am that the clocks go forward tomorrow! She has also woken a few times crying in the middle of the night, just needing a cuddle to get herself back to sleep. I'm putting this down to teething, as she seems to have 4 coming in at once.
I've noticed that now she is on the move, going down at night is so much easier. She barely makes a sound and is asleep within about 5 minutes of us putting her to bed.
She's trying to cut out her last nap of the day, and will sometimes go 5/6 hours without a nap, but I still think she needs that last nap around 3:30 just to take the edge off.
Aria is still on four 6oz bottles, but eating has been a little more of a challenge this month. I know I say it a lot (don't we all) but I do think it's down to teething. She likes things that are cold rather than hot, as I think it provides some relief for her gums, and she isn't keen on any lumps at the moment, so I'm having to make sure I make really smooth purées or use pouches. Although, she does really like her finger foods and will more often than not take my toast out of my hand (literally) and gobble it up !
Our routine hasn't changed too much from the past few months. I was thinking of doing a 'typical day routine' vlog for my YouTube channel, if you would like to see? Let me know and I will post this in the next few weeks!
Oh my gosh, am I ever going to get this girl weighed?! I actually have no idea what weight she is, I really need to get my arse in gear and get her to the local health clinic to have her checked!
We're starting to get into Aria's 9-12 month wardrobe which I have to admit, makes me a little sad! Going up a size seems like such a big step in her growing up, but I'm looking forward to getting her into some new bits, like the things I picked up from Tesco which you can see in my haul!


Slovenia is one of the smallest European countries, but it occupies not the last place according to its natural diversity and the richness of its history, which makes the country one of the most interesting tourist regions of the Balkan Peninsula. The Adriatic coast neighbours with ski resorts of the Julian Alps (Julijske Alpe), balneotherapeutic health resorts (Dolenjske Toplice, Rogaska Slatina, Strunjan, Portorož, Catež) are interspersed with picturesque cities in the Medieval style (Ljublana, Cele, Maribor), and picturesque mountainous valleys, lakes with the cleanest water, fantastic waterfalls and deep caves are a real paradise for lovers of the virgin nature. A great many Slovenian places of interest are included into the UNESCO's World Heritage list.
It is not doubted that Slovenia makes the warmest impressions on its guests. More than that, this relatively small country claims to be "the ideal place of living!" – cleanness, fresh air, luxurious alpine meadows and mountain landscapes, clear rivers! In short, local nature simply astonishes you with its beauty. Everywhere you can see private houses, but they are not those ruins which we are accustomed to, - these are taken-care-of houses with blossoming flower-beds and lawns instead of patches of vegetable and without fences.


Human - animal relations in organic agriculture (IFOAM) | Infonet Biovision Home.
4.How does the animal view us humans?
It requires knowledge about animals to treat them well in ways which respect them and their nature. You can find some knowledge about the animals under each animal species on this biovision website, and some can be developed in your daily life with the animals, if you act and react to their responses.
Here an example of an overworked, overloaded and underfed donkey 'Naira' on the rubbish dumps of Bamako, Mali. Owners of working animals are responsible that animals are held without suffering. Across Africa and the Middle East, SPANA clinics treat hundreds of thousands of donkeys, horses, mules, camels and livestock every year. They education programme teaches children and owners respect and compassion for animals. During conflict, drought and natural disaster, their emergency programme gets help to animals and the communities who depend on them.
This chapter is about the relation between humans and animals when they interact directly. As humans, we as humans take animals into our households, and care for them. This means that we have the responsibility for them and their wellbeing. It requires knowledge about animals to treat them well in ways which respect them and their nature.
There is relatedness between humans and animals: we as humans take animals into our households, and take them in our care. We use the animals for many purposes. This means that we have the responsibility for them and their wellbeing. This chapter is about how we as humans regard and treat animals.
It is important always to remember that animals are sentient beings. They can feel and sense, and they have feelings, such as fear, anxiety, restlessness, and at the other end of the scale: they can be satisfied, content and happy. There is no doubt that our attitude to animals - the way in which we view them and perceive them as fellow living beings - affects how we treat them in practice and how we treat each other.
One of Mahatma Gandhi's great quotations is: 'The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated'. This indicates how we are related to animals: we have a moral and ethical obligation to treat animals well - animals are our fellow living beings on this Globe. How do we practice this in organic animal farming?
The first thing is to realize that respecting the animals and their nature is not only fair towards them, but it is also much easier than trying to work with force and against the animals' nature. Treating animals with care also gives us humans a pleasure and a good feeling. It is much more satisfying to work with happy animals, which are willing to work, than with animals that fear you and react abruptly and maybe even are dangerous to both you and themselves because of fear or anxiety.
Some humans think that it is necessary to treat animals with force to make them do what we want them to do, but that is not true. It is necessary to be clear to the animal what we want them to do, and to be consequent and consistent, but it should always be in a guiding, firm and loving way. If we use force and mistreat them, they become much more scared and resistant to our attempts to make them do what we want them to do. They become much more difficult to work with. This starts a vicious cycle: we become more and more upset about their 'stubborn' behavior and treat them more and more with force. This creates exactly the reactions from the animals which annoy us and make us treat them with less love and care. We have to break this pattern.
This chapter is about the relation between humans and animals when they interact directly. As humans, we want to be fair to the animal and care for them. Therefore, we also have to know about their needs.
Humans have the responsibility for the animals and their wellbeing, we have a moral and ethical obligation to treat animals well.
Be fair to draught animals, when you load them with goods to carry. Better to let carry two smaller loads even though it takes longer time, than than one too big load with the result of damaging your animal.
The principles about ecology, care, health and fairness, formulated by IFOAM also form guidelines for how we as humans should treat the animals in a direct interaction. A lot of the recommendations below are linked to more than one of the organic principles.
All animals need feed, water, shade, protection against heavy rain, possibilities to rest, to withdraw, and to have a social life in the way its species naturally will have a social life.
All animal species have their natural needs. For example chicken have a natural need for dust bathing. All life situations also include some natural needs, e.g. giving birth requires surroundings which give an animal rest, because in nature they would withdraw when giving birth.
see life from the animals' perspective, and always only put them in situations which they can handle. Support them when they meet new things, which can scare them.
All forms of violence towards animals are unacceptable, full stop. This is beyond question. No beating, no kicking, no hitting, and do not force them to be under very restrictive conditions in small cages or boxes, or with tied legs. If they kick or attack us, it is ok to react immediately and in a way which closely relates to what the animal just did, e.g. if we shout and give it a clear indication that it just did something which we as humans cannot tolerate. This is very different from unmotivated beating or kicking, or beating and kicking just because we do not understand that the animal reacts because it is scared.
Give animals shelter, shade, access to water and feed, and protect them from enemy animals.
If animals are flock animals and naturally live in groups, they often have synchronic behavior. That is: they all want to do the same thing at the same time. Space should allow this: for example that the animals can eat at the same time, or lie down at the same time.
Let them choose as much as possible in their daily life: where to go, and what to do. E.g. give them access to lying areas and to shade and to feed and water.
Transport animals calmly, and be fully aware that this can be a very scary situation for them. Be caring also when you load them to or from a truck, that they don't fall or hurt themselves. Take care when you drive, that they do not hurt themselves.
Take time to let them explore new surroundings when you move them. This makes them much calmer. If you move them in a group, give them time so that they are not pushed too much together. If they can see where they walk, they will not hurt their legs. Sometimes animals are forced to walk or run in a group so closely that they have to lift their head. This causes that they cannot orient themselves and where they walk and therefore stumbles and falls and harm their joints and legs. This is particularly important when moving downhill, which is uncomfortable for most animals.
Never move an animal from light into darkness. If you have to take an animal indoor from daylight: give them sufficiently time and treat them with care, because they do not like this. Likewise they do not like to walk through doors or around sharp corners without giving them time to explore.
Kill/slaughter animals in a humane way: try to take care that they are as little scared as possible, and kill them as painless and instant as possible. Best is to avoid slaughter and killing and let animals die a natural death.
Be calm, talk with them, ease them down if they are scared in any situation, e.g. if they should be used to new routines, for example if you milk an animal for the first time.
Never shout at animals, talk with them.
Give them good conditions to stay healthy, and support them through the way you take care of them on everyday basis.
Equip draught animals with harnesses, and take care that the wagon or plough fit to their size. Take care that they do not get wounds and swellings.
Do not only treat them with medicine when they are ill, but support the healing process by giving them care and rest and extra good living conditions.
Get to know them so that you know clearly if they change behavior and then you can interact.
Read them: which signals they give, and react and act on what you see.
Think of them as sentient beings, and know that they can suffer, feel pain, frustration and pleasure - and give them good opportunities to feel the latter.
How does the animal view us humans?
As a danger. This is due to little or no contact, or to negative contact. If we are inconsistent in the way we handle animals, e.g. one day kind and another day violent, this is bad in the same way as negative contact.
In organic farming, when we want to live up to the principles of care and fairness, we should be to the animals in ways which make them think of us as provider of feed and water, and as social partners, and definitely not as 'dangers'.
Children often link directly to animals, especially to young animals. They are good in taking care of animals, when they are guided, and also taught what is good for the animal, and clearly told what is unacceptable.
Involve the children, when you interact with animals, when it is appropriate and not dangerous (e.g. if you move a bull from one place to another, children should be well protected and on a distance).
Give the children responsibilities and give them tasks which they can handle in relation to animals, e.g. feeding chicken or feeding the young animals. Always keep an eye on whether they do it or not, and correct them to help them doing it right.
Teach the children that careful and loving behavior towards animals creates a relation, which can be a pleasure not only for the animal - which become calm and trustful - but also to the human.


China accounted for over 45% of the global solar cells market share in 2015. Rising investment in the photovoltaic industry along with tax credits, soft loans, and other special grants by the government will stimulate the business outlook. According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, photovoltaic industry has witnessed record investment of USD 12.3 billion in 2015.
The U.S. in 2015 was valued over USD 4 billion and is anticipated to expand over 14% owing to increasing utility scale installation. Government measures towards energy efficiency and carbon emission reduction will further complement the U.S. solar cells market growth. As per the Solar Energy Association, the solar industry in the U.S. installed 7,286 MW of solar photovoltaics in 2015 where the utility-scale sector represented more than 50% of the total solar PV installation.
Rising demand for the decentralized generation systems in developing nations will enhance the penetration of the sustainable energy during the forecast period. Increasing investment towards rural electrification in off-grid locations in various countries including India, China, and Africa will fuel the solar cells market growth. In September 2015, African Development Bank (AfDB) approved USD 121 million loan and grant for the electricity expansion of rural households in Uganda.
Government initiatives towards conservation of energy coupled with ambitious targets to reduce carbon emission will further propel the solar cells market. In June 2015, Government of India has set revised solar mission target at 100 GW by 2022. As per the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), an estimated total investment of USD 94 billion is expected for upgradation to 100 GW solar power capacity. International Finance Corporation and World bank have also introduced programs including "Lighting Africa" with an aim to encourage the adoption of photovoltaic over conventional product source among off grid population.
Ultra-thin film cells technology was valued over USD 3 million in 2015 and is anticipated to expand over 30% by 2024 in terms of volume. Higher efficiency and light weight compared to other alternate technology will positively encourage the industry landscape.
Global Solar Cells Market is expected to grow at over 12% to surpass USD 100 billion by 2024. Increasing inclination towards sustainable energy adoption will stimulate the global solar cells market share over the forecast timeframe. Rising demand for off grid electricity along with reducing photovoltaic component cost will propel the industry landscape. As per the World Energy Outlook 2016, around 1.2 billion people in the world have no access to electricity.
Key participants in the solar cells market include Jinko, Sunedison, Canadian, Trina, Yingli, First Solar, Moser Baer, SunPower Corporation, GreenBrilliance, Indosolar, Tata Power, Solar World, and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation.


Great podcast Kaspa. Who makes the intro music by the way? Reminds me of the Beatles "Can't buy me love"( : Namo Amida Bu!
It's just a public domain piece I found, nothing famous, can't remember the name off the top of my head. Glad you like it.

"Strict" financial discipline to be maintained at International Tennis Federation as $3 million IOC loan revealed
By David Owen
The International Tennis Federation (ITF) has reported a deficit of $6.9 million (£5 million/€5.9 million) after a coronavirus-disrupted 2020 campaign.
What is more, while it looks like Tokyo 2020 is now in the process of being satisfactorily delivered, the shadow of COVID-19 is set to dog the federation in 2021 as well.
As Finance Committee chairman, René Stammbach explains: "The disruption to international competitions in 2020 meant that the Olympics, as well as the conclusion to the Davis Cup and the Billie Jean King Cup, were all postponed to 2021 and therefore the impact will also affect the 2021 result.
"For the Davis Cup and the Billie Jean King Cup, one year's revenue is being split over two years and is insufficient to support all costs, many of which are annual.
"For this reason, strict financial discipline will be maintained to prevent too significant a drain on reserves."
Stammbach's comments are published in the annual report and financial statements of the ITF Trust.
This also reveals that the ITF borrowed $3 million (£2.2 million/€2.55 million) from the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 2020, in lieu of the sport's revenue share from the postponed Tokyo 2020 Games.
The ITF said the loan was received in two installments - $2 million (£1.45 million/€1.7 million) in September and $1 million (£727,000/€850,000) in December.
The loan is interest-free and repayable "upon receipt of revenues from the rescheduled Olympic Games in 2021, or in the event of a cancellation, by 2024".
The ITF's annual income was slashed heavily to $35.6 million (£25.9 million/€30.3 million) in 2020, less than half the 2019 figure of $88.7 million (£64.5 million/€75.4 million).
The Davis Cup licence fee generated just $10.3 million (£7.5 million/€8.75 million), down from $40.3 million (£29.3 million/€34.3 million).

Meanwhile, as explained in Stammbach's admirably clear report, anticipated hosting fees from the inaugural finals of the Billie Jean King Cup, as the Fed Cup has been renamed, were affected as follows: of total hosting fees of $20 million (£14.5 million/€17 million) due to the ITF, $8 million (£5.8 million/€6.8 million) was received, with $5 million (£3.6 million/€4.25 million) recognised "in acknowledgement of part of the competition having been played".
Operating expenses also fell heavily to $44.7 million (£32.5 million/€38 million) from $86.4 million (£62.8 million/€73.4 million) in 2019.
Staff costs dipped from $12.8 million (£9.3 million/€10.9 million) to $10.3 million (£7.5 million/€8.75 million).
The ITF explained that $2 million (£1.45 million/€1.7 million) of this reduction was attributable to "staff taking voluntary reductions in pay and benefits, utilisation of the United Kingdom Government's Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme and a reduction in headcount".
Executive officers' remuneration dipped from $3.1 million (£2.25 million/€2.6 million) in 2019 to $2.6 million (£1.9 million/€2.2 million).
The accounts also disclose that the federation managed to secure a tax credit of $626,000 (£455,000/€532,000) in 2020.
This is even though the ITF Trust itself is "domiciled in the Bahamas and is therefore not subject to income tax".
Stammbach's report notes that this rebate "includes R&D tax credits claimed against expenditure on the ITF World Tennis Number project".
Year-end reserves dipped to a still-comfortable $52.3 million (£38 million/€44.5 million) from $57.7 million (£42 million/€49 million) in 2019.
According to Stammbach, £To have been so severely impacted by the global pandemic, yet to only realise a fall of $5.4 million (£3.9 million/€4.6 million) in reserves when revenues fell by $53.1 million (£38.6 million/€45.1 million), must be seen as a good result in the circumstances".
