Marxism and the global south
Jonathan Maunder asks whether Marx's theory, born in 19th century Europe, can help explain the modern world?
In 1848 Karl Marx and Frederick Engels wrote in the Communist Manifesto, "The need of a constantly expanding market for its products chases the bourgeoisie over the whole surface of the globe. It must nestle everywhere, settle everywhere, establish connections everywhere."
The development of capitalism over the past 150 years has shown this statement to be true. Capitalism has become a global economic order.
The current neo-liberal phase of capitalism has in the past few years led to large scale social struggles across the world. Some of the most impressive struggles have been situated in the "Global South" – Asia, Africa, the Middle East and, in particular, Latin America.
These movements are serious about their attempts to change the world, but many of those involved would explicitly reject Marxism as being in some way "Eurocentric". So Felipe Quispe, leader of the peasants' confederation in Bolivia, has attacked Marxism for being a product of European and white thought.
The country's recently elected vice president, Alvaro Garcia Linera, has argued, "Socialism is not a viable project in Bolivia, because it can only be built by a strong working class base… You can't build socialism where 95 percent of the rural population live in traditional communal economies."
In Mexico, Subcommandante Marcos and other leaders of the Zapatista movement have adopted a vision of struggle inspired by the indigenous culture of the Chiapas region.
As one leading Zapatista said, "Our square conception of the world and of revolution was badly dented in the confrontation with the indigenous realities of Chiapas."
Some European activists have adopted similar views. The writer and campaigner George Monbiot accuses Marx and Engels of almost genocidal intentions towards non-workers: "The peasants, aristocrats, artisans and shopkeepers… like everyone else who did not fit conveniently into the industrial proletariat, had to be eliminated as they interfered with the theoretical system Marx had imposed on society.
"Marx, who described them as 'reactionaries' trying 'to roll back the wheel of history', might have approved of their extermination. The 'social scum'… which came to include indigenous people, had to be disposed of just as hastily in case they became, as Marx warned, 'the bribed tool of reactionary intrigue'."
How should Marxists respond to these arguments? Crucially we need to grasp why the experience of the working class occupies such a central place in Marxist theory.
At the time Marx was writing, the world described in the Communist Manifesto existed only in a few areas of north west Europe and the east coast of the US. The industrial working class was confined to a tiny number of cities within these areas.
Marx's writings were not a description of Europe. They were a description of a system of production, capitalism, that was still being born and which Marx believed could spread globally.
Capitalism has created a working class, drawn largely from the local population, and exploited by capitalists. These workers are often drawn together in large workplaces and urban centres.
They have great power because they produce the vast wealth of capitalist society. Moreover, to protect their interests workers are forced to fight back in new ways.
While previous oppressed classes, such as the peasantry, could rise up, seize control of the land and divide it among themselves, workers cannot divide a factory, hospital or supermarket.
If workers seize control of these things they can only run them collectively. Their struggles have a democratic logic that can lay the basis for a different way of running society.
There is nothing specifically European about these arguments.
Today every country has both a capitalist elite and a working class whose day to day labour is responsible for the functioning of key industries that are crucial to that country's economy.
One recent study estimated that, out of a global population of about six billion, 880 million people work for a wage. The wider working class, including children and non-employed partners of these employees, comprises up to two billion people – and the figure is rising.
A similar number of people are partially dependent on a wage – they earn some of their livelihood in a capitalist way. And the world is now urbanised as never before. Approximately three billion people live in towns and cities.
The massive expansion of the working class has seen the expansion of the forms of struggle associated with capitalism. Mass strikes are no longer a purely European phenomenon – they have occurred in every continent in the world in recent times.
In the past couple of weeks alone Socialist Worker has reported on mass strikes in South Africa and Bangladesh.
Of course these struggles are not a carbon copy of earlier battles in 19th century Europe. Marx could not foresee exactly how successive waves of globalisation would take place.
Nor is Marxism a dogma or a set of eternal, iron laws. It provides a set of tools for analysing the world and guiding interventions in struggles. It took a later generation of Marxists to develop these tools and apply them to a world in which capitalism had become global.
Marxists such as the Russian revolutionaries Trotsky and Lenin, were confronted with societies in which the working class was in a minority.
Most people were poor peasants who worked on the land and looked primarily to their own culture and religion – a situation that still exists in much of the Global South today.
The great insight of this generation of Marxists was that "late developing" capitalism would not simply follow the path of the corner of Europe in which the system first developed. The integration of new regions of the world into the system could be a traumatic and uneven process.
Nations such as Russia that wanted to compete on the world stage could swiftly adopt new technologies and methods of production that had taken centuries to develop in Western Europe.
The most advanced factories and workplaces coexisted with much earlier customs and forms of production. Trotsky called this process "uneven and combined development".
Uneven because different areas moved towards capitalism at different rates and at different times. Combined because, as Trotsky wrote, there was a "drawing together of the different stages of the journey, a combining of separate steps, an amalgam of archaic with more contemporary forms".
So while Russia was a country in which the vast majority lived on the land, a young and militant working class existed in key urban centres.
In 1917, the economic power of the Russian working class enabled them to seize power in the cities. By liberating themselves, albeit for a few short years, they broke the log jam holding back all the other oppressed groups in society.
Peasants were able to boot out their landlords and take control of their land, religious minorities were granted the freedom to practice their beliefs and the nations oppressed by the Russian empire were granted independence.
The Russian Revolution of 1917 still holds important lessons for countries such as Bolivia today.
The point is not that the fight against the oppression of peasants or indigenous people should be submerged within the working class struggle.
The point is that the working class (and in Bolivia the majority of workers are indigenous) is the only force ultimately capable of destroying the economic and state system responsible for maintaining that oppression.
It's hard to see how Bolivian peasants' leader Felipe Quispe's proposal for a separate nation for the indigenous Aymaran people can really deliver true liberation. Indigenous people face two key problems – a lack of resources and attacks by the state.
Creating an Aymaran nation separate from Bolivian capitalism is not viable because it would mean leaving behind the vast wealth created by indigenous workers and peasants.
And the Bolivian ruling class, like any ruling class, would use their power and organisation to crush such an attempt to create a space liberated from their rule.
Working class struggle can solve these problems – by seizing hold of the wealth of capitalism and by providing a power strong enough to decisively challenge the ruling elite.
But such a struggle could not be confined to a single country. It is not just that the international working class lays the basis for international socialism. Such internationalism is a crucial precondition for socialism.
To return to Linera's argument, a seizure of power by the Bolivian working class in isolation would not be a viable road to socialism in the long term.
But the effects such a development would have on the rest of the Latin American movement would be absolutely electrifying, and would come at a time when there are vibrant left wing movements across much of the continent. The regional context makes socialism a real possibility.
This is not just true of Latin America. A revolutionary transformation of a European country such as Britain would have to rapidly spread or it would be encircled and strangled by other capitalist powers. This was the tragedy that ultimately befell the Russian revolution of 1917.
It has often been said that Marxism is a science and an art – it seeks both to understand society and to creatively apply that understanding to real struggle for change.
Today an analysis of global capitalism shows that it has brought into existence a truly international working class, which has the power to bring that system to a grinding halt.
The art is for Marxists to carry this argument into the movements around the world and win people to it, while maintaining a common struggle with all those fighting the system in different ways.
The best of the Marxist tradition has always been absolutely clear that there can be no socialism without the liberation of oppressed groups, and no liberation for the oppressed without socialism.
"There is room for all at the rendez-vous of victory," wrote the Caribbean poet Aimé Césaire. Marxists believe this too when we talk about socialism. There is room for all – except the exploiters and oppressors of this world.

West Bridgford is celebrating getting its own brewpub complete with on-site microbrewery – national brand Brewhouse & Kitchen has opened its newest site earlier this week.
It officially opened for pre-bookings on Father's Day. It will be the 17th site in Brewhouse & Kitchen's rapidly expanding portfolio and the first to open in the East Midlands.
The former Riverbank site, boasting views overlooking the River Trent in the heart of West Bridgford, Nottingham, has seen a £600,000 investment to transform the venue.
The new Brewhouse & Kitchen will be an original offering for the area – featuring an upstairs function room with capacity for 120 guests and can cater for 550 guests in total within the bar, restaurant and garden areas.
Each pub serves over 50 different craft beers and an interesting selection of ciders from breweries around the world, as well as a playful selection of 'beer-tails', wines and spirits, expertly paired with dishes from their menus.
We are delighted to welcome Nottingham into the Brewhouse & Kitchen family and to make our mark on the area's thriving food and drink scene. Although beers are our forte, we pride ourselves on creating an exciting menu of innovative dishes, including pub-classics, Sunday roasts and sharing platters, which effortlessly complement our drinks range and when paired with a great beer, really bring out the best in its tasting notes. A number of our dishes also use elements of beer as an added ingredient, such as our beer-infused cheese sauces and garlic and hop salt for seasoning chips. What makes our pubs unique is the fact that each one has its very own microbrewery and we employ a dedicated local brewer to operate it. We're pleased to announce Ben Pearson will be the man for the job at Brewhouse & Kitchen Nottingham, and our guests can watch him in action thanks to the centrally-located copper vessels that will brew his fantastic craft beers.
Customers looking for an education in brewing will be able to book themselves onto Brewhouse & Kitchen's famed Beer Masterclass and a day-long Brewery Experience Day, organised by the resident beer expert and on-site brewer. The Beer Masterclass covers eight different types of beer, exploring the flavour profiles and history of each, while the more intensive Brewery Experience Day provides an opportunity for customers to get involved in brewing some beer.
As part of the venue's extensive drinks offering, a number of beers on offer will be exclusive to the Nottingham Brewhouse & Kitchen site. These include a core range of five own-brewed beers available year-round, a seasonal beer which will rotate approximately every six weeks and an ever-changing 'brewer's choice', in which the on-site brewer will be free to produce his own brews.
Each of these exclusive beers will be themed to pay homage to the West Bridgford and Nottinghamshire areas, with a fun fact or extraordinary story to accompany it.
Our team have been busy delving deep into local history to name our craft brews and create our Little Book of Beer Stories. We can't wait to share our findings with residents in the coming weeks and hopefully teach them a thing or two they may not already know about Nottingham and West Bridgford. As an operation we now brew over 285 different beers, making us the brewery with the largest portfolio of beer brands in Europe – not bad considering each of our breweries are 'micro'!
As an operation, Brewhouse & Kitchen is one of the UK's fastest growing companies, with an annual anticipated turnover in excess of £18 million for 2017.

How do I put a MyXfinity Page shortcut on my desktop?
When you're on the page, drag the favicon from the address bar to your desktop.
Thank you for your help. It worked, but I did not know what a FAViCON was so I had to look it up first. Then I knew what it was!
"A favicon /ˈfæv.ɪˌkɒn/ (short for favorite icon), also known as a shortcut icon, website icon, tab icon, URL icon, or bookmark icon, is a file containing one or more small icons, associated with a particular website or web page."


The most eye-catching element in Robert Wylkynson's Salve Regina (to be found in the Eton Choirbook) are the nine names of the medieval angel hierarchy attached to the nine voices of the motet. It seemed obvious to use that in my arrangement for Spectra Ensemble.
But things went altogether differently. I almost immediately recognized a parallel between my arrangement-to-be and Wylkynson's use of the Gregorian chant Assumpta est Maria as cantus firmus, in the slow moving notes by the tenor.
For my part, I decided to use Wylkynson's motet as a cantus firmus: I squashed his nine-part counterpoint, stretched it out in time and gave the result to the vibraphone. To complete this process of turning Wylkynson inside out, I took the Gregorian melody and made it into the polyphony of my piece.
The result, Lines & Arcs, is a nearly stationary music, consisting of slowly shifting fields. Lines and Arcs is a small homage to composer and inspirator John Luther Adams.
The title is borrowed from a wall drawing plan by Sol LeWitt – because in the end, Lines & Arcs is more about patterns, superpositions and canvas than about Wylkynson, or his hierarchy of angels.

Google's Echo Show competitor is expected to make its debut in time for the holidays this year. We can pretty much guarantee YouTube will work flawlessly on this smart speaker with a screen, unlike on Amazon's device.
Step aside, Amazon Echo Show. Word has it that Google is planning to launch its own smart speaker with a screen.
Citing unnamed sources, Nikkei Asian Review on Friday reported that Google's Echo Show competitor will make its debut in time for the holidays this year. It will reportedly run Google Assistant, letting you control it with your voice. We can pretty much guarantee YouTube will work flawlessly on it (wink wink).
Google declined to comment on the report when contacted by PCMag this morning.
This isn't the first time we've heard of such a device. Last fall, TechCrunch, citing multiple unnamed sources, reported that Google was "building a tabletop smart screen for video calling and more that will compete with Amazon's Echo Show."
At the Consumer Electronics Show in January, Google announced Echo Show-like "smart displays" from four companies—Lenovo, JBL, LG, and Sony. All are Android Things-powered touch screens running Google Assistant, with front-facing cameras. We found JBL's football-shaped Link View stereo speaker system, which features an 8-inch screen embedded in the middle, to be the most powerful and impressive of the four, audio-wise.
If Nikkei Asian Review's information is true, Google could soon launch its own such device. The Web giant already sells two smart speakers, albeit without screens, the Home Max, which earned an "excellent" rating in PCMag's review, and the Home Mini, which earned "good" marks.
The $229.99 Echo Show, which sports a 7-inch touch screen and a 5-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls, also earned a "good" rating in PCMag's review.


Tickets are on sale for the 6th Annual Field to Feast, and we hope to see you at Long & Scott Farms on February 23, 2019, for what we hope will be our most successful year yet. Featuring locally sourced fare from Walt Disney World's top chefs with wine, beer and cocktail pairings, this open-air event combines country charm with culinary excellence. Guests will enjoy live music, farm tours, a raffle and more as part of the event, which runs from 3-6 p.m.


I have also gotten dessert trays, sandwich trays and pies from here and that is before we discuss eating in the cafe and drinking their amazing coffee. Lane markings in multi-lane roundabouts are systematically ignored and virtually all motorists will "cut off" while negotiating the roundabout and again when exiting, of course without signalling. The theme chosen for the 2015 Milan Universal Exposition was Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life. Caravaggio (Supper at Emmaus is his masterpiece here) is surrounded by works of his followers, and just beyond is a room devoted to works by foreigners; among them Rembrandt's Portrait of a Young Woman.
Allow at least 1 hour in Milan or Turin to allow for any delay. The major landforms of Italy are mountains, volcanoes, beaches and islands. This is a high-traffic period for general aviation (GA) flights. Then check train times to connect, using the London to France page and allowing at least 2 hours between train and ferry, preferably more to allow for taxi transfer to port, check-in time, and to allow for any delay. Since the 1970s, Milan has remained the capital of Italy's automobile industry and its financial markets, but the limelight is dominated by the fashion houses.
However, after this point, construction stalled almost totally for 80 years. There's also a bus that goes from Malmö, Sweden via Denmark, Germany and Switzerland to Italy. Tip: Upgrade to 1st class on the TGV often for very little extra cost! Frequent trains link Bologna with Modena in less than 30 minutes, and trains link Bologna with Ravenna every hour or two in around 1 hour 25 minutes. Milan Fashion Week is a clothing trade show held semi-annually in Milan.
The 154 guest rooms include 9 thematic suites, equipped with top shelf entertainment amenities and stylish furniture to provide the utmost comfort.

McConnell eyes TPA deal in April
06/02/15 10:02 AM By Philip Brasher
WASHINGTON, March 25, 2015 – The signs are pointing to movement on Trade Promotion Authority next month. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said he wants the Senate Finance Committee to approve a TPA bill "very quickly after we come back" from the two-week-Easter recess.
"It's a top priority for me," McConnell said. "I've had a number of conversations with the president about it. It's a top priority for him."
Separately, Finance Chairman Orrin Hatch said he's considering "one more concession" to his committee's top Democrat on TPA with an eye toward having an agreement on a bill after the Easter recess. Hatch didn't identify the issue but he and Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., have apparently been at odds on the TPA process that would be used to get to a final up-or-down vote on a trade agreement.
Hatch said he expected to meet with Wyden after the recess and hoped to get a deal. "We're going to try and work one more concession to give him a reason to vote for it and to feel good about that vote. I'll try my best to come up with something between now and when we get back. "
Hatch appeared confident they were close to a deal. Wyden "has told me he's going to vote for it (TPA), but he's trying to work out as much as he can on that bill." Once Wyden signs off on the bill it could move through the Senate fairly quickly.

A post-recess deal would line up with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's planned visit to Washington in late April to meet with President Obama and to address a joint session of Congress. It would be somewhat awkward if TPA hasn't gotten out of the starting gate at that point.
Japan is believed to be waiting on TPA before making critical final concessions in the ongoing negotiations over a Trans-Pacific Partnership. Hatch said he talked about TPA last week with Obama and urged him to put more pressure on Democrats to support it. Canada, in turn, is believed to be waiting on Japan before agreeing to a deal. Both countries are under heavy pressure to lower their barriers to U.S. agricultural exports.

Drink Logos
Aquarius Logo
Coca-Cola,energetic
Aquarius Logo PNG
The drink increases energy and improves well-being – such a message is read in the brand logo. The Aquarius logo is mountain peaks covered with snow and cool streams. The drink is designed for people who strive to achieve more and are constantly on the move.
Aquarius: Brand overview
Founder: The Coca-Cola Company
Aquarius is a drink for athletes and active people, developed in the Japanese division of the Coca-Cola company in 1983 and sold in Europe, Asia, and South America. It contains zinc, magnesium, vitamin E to restore strength and improve immunity. Water is available in various fruit flavors (grapefruit, lemon, orange, watermelon, peach, blueberry, pineapple, apple, cherry, pear, etc.). In total, there are several dozen flavor variations in different countries.
The main message of the logo is to replenish electrolyte balance, quench thirst, cleanliness, and coolness.
The recipe for Aquarius was developed in 1978. Five years before its official introduction, which took place in Japan. The product entered the Asian market to maintain the leading position of Coca-Cola. Since in 1980, a similar drink was introduced from the Japanese company Otsuka Pharmaceutical, which was popular.
The first emblem of Aquarius was also somewhat similar to the competitor. Both have a blue background and clear white lettering. However, with color saturation, a beautiful gradient, neat lettering, and light italics, Coca-Cola's visual product mark outperformed Pocari Sweat.
The logo reflected the essence of the product – pure (white) water (blue). They gave the buyer a feeling of refreshing coolness, harmony, and strength. They promised to get rid of dehydration on a hot day and after physical exertion. Interestingly, when you look at the deep blue color, the production of the hormone melatonin, which is responsible for sleep, decreases. Therefore, the emblem symbolized the return of strength and brought vivacity, helped to concentrate, and made breathing more even.
In 1991, the drink entered the European market and was sold in Spain and Portugal. There was no competition from Otsuka Pharmaceutical, and the logo was able to gain a lot of personalities. The saturated background disappeared, and the letters of the logo turned blue, symbolizing water. The central letter A has changed its style to a visual-graphic image, reminiscent of an athlete jumping from a springboard into the water, which evokes a feeling of complete immersion in coolness. In the outline of the letter, there are two shades – blue and light color of the sea wave. After all, it is in seawater that there are a lot of electrolytes. Another reading is a distant symbol of Aquarius pouring water from a jug. A white drop icon has been added to the image—a symbol of purity and another hint of water. The letter split the brand name in two, highlighting Aqua's Latin word, which means water.
To promote the brand, campaigns were repeatedly held for the free distribution of this water at various sports competitions. This had its results – the brand was noticed. Aquarius has been the official drink of the Olympic Games several times (1992, 1994, 2008, 2016, 2020).
The logo of this period further enhanced the feeling of fluidity and moisture with an aquatic background with drops of water that seemed to have fallen on the glass after the brand name "dived." Such an image causes a desire to quench your thirst immediately. With an unusual central A, the word Aquarius was given a white letter outline to highlight the name against a blue background. The white drop is gone.
The emblem has lost its background. The inscription of the name of the logo from the bottom up remained as a sign of the desire for victories. The letter A retained a special emphasis. But it became monophonic, the color of a sea wave, which made even more emphasis on electrolytes. Also, the color symbolizes good luck, overcoming difficulties, restoring the strength that drinking brings. The pointed outlines of "A" resemble a shark's fin cutting through the depths or a star emerging from the water. They show how a brand stands out from its competitors.
The logo has been changed again. First of all, they touched the central letter A. It received a directly pointed spelling in the form of a peak of a mountain peak. The jumper of the letter resembles a wave. A gradient enhances this sensation from blue to white. Aquarius helps conquer the peaks and always be on the wave's crest. The drink is clean and cool, like mountain streams. The inclination of the word has disappeared. The direct style brings stability, constancy, stability to the logo. In general, the emblem has acquired lighter colors and is aimed at sports youth.
The main colors of the emblem are deep blue, aquamarine, light blue, and white. They symbolize peace, recuperation, purity, freshness, well-being.
The lettering is straight sans-serif and close to Arial Black and Bahnschrift SemiBold.

Does a noncompete agreement hold up after an acquisition? | Frese, Whitehead & Anderson, P.A.
Does a noncompete agreement hold up after an acquisition?
On behalf of Allan P. Whitehead of Frese, Whitehead, Anderson, Anderson & Heuston, P.A. posted in Breach Of Contract on Saturday, October 20, 2018.
You sign a noncompete agreement when joining a company, knowing that it limits the scope of your work outside of that company but also thinking that you are probably never going to leave anyway. This is a dream job.
Then the company gets sold to another company. After the acquisition, it's not a dream for you anymore. You want to move on. Are you still bound by that noncompete agreement? Do you still have to honor it even though the people you originally signed it with are gone?
There's no easy answer here because every situation is different. For one thing, it depends on the type of acquisition. Does the original company still exist and run in basically the same fashion, even though hands-off ownership is technically different? Maybe another company just bought stock and technically now owns your company, but nothing else has changed.
If so, you probably still have to honor the agreement.
Or, did the acquisition really happen more like a merger? Your old company is functionally gone; it was absorbed to some degree into the new company. You see massive changes in the workplace. You essentially work for a new employer.
If so, then you may not have to honor it. It depends if they have some other evidence that you consented to it when the merger took place or if there is a clause in your original agreement saying that it can be assigned to the next company. If they don't have that, you may be able to break it.
The whole situation can get very complex. It is critical that you understand all of your legal options.

Review: 20 Feet from Stardom
Release date: June 14, 2013 (June 28, 2013 in the DC market)
Starring: Darlene Love, Merry Clayton, Lisa Fischer, Judith Hill, Claudia Lennear, Mick Jagger
Who to see it with: Music lovers
Lee:
Backup singers often receive little credit for their hard work. 20 Feet from Stardom gives them the spotlight and explores the crucial, challenging roles that good backup singers have played in many classic songs. We mostly hear from older, female singers who've been in the business for decades, some who've been performing since the 1950's and 60's. This naturally leads to some discussion of the music industry's racism and sexism, but 20 Feet cares more about the feelings that arise when someone is perpetually uncredited and placed in the background, and the challenges faced by even the greatest backup singers when attempting to become a lead. Its stories are often frustrating and heartbreaking, including tales of hearing themselves on the radio as other artists are credited, or watching their solo albums fail despite seeming destined for success. This makes it more satisfying, and sometimes disappointing, to hear about the success (or lack thereof) some found after many unfulfilling years.
20 Feet is also insightful and funny, its lively stars often joyfully reminiscing about their complicated pasts rather than lamenting them. Darlene Love's story feels the most complete, detailing how she began performing as a teen to her troubles with producer Phil Spector to her eventual rise as a lead singer. The makers could have dug a little deeper into the reasons why the others have such difficulty developing their careers (or, in one case, why a singer might willingly choose to remain backup), but their stories provide illuminating, if brief, glimpses into the setbacks faced by singers who don't have mainstream, pop star-like images. Many of the names and faces will be unfamiliar, but you've probably heard them unknowingly. For some viewers, this film will associate those voices with actual, accomplished performers, particularly a scene where Merry Clayton and Mick Jagger discuss Clayton's soulful contribution to Rolling Stones song Gimme Shelter. 20 Feet from Stardom is an interesting look at the many trials and occasional triumphs experienced by performers who receive far too little recognition.
See it.

Democrat Congressman Pleads Guilty to Sex Crimes
To say that Democrats are lacking in morals is putting it mildly. Disgraced former U.S. Rep Anthony Weiner is finally answering for the sexual misconduct he committed with a 15 year old girl from North Carolina.
Corrupt Democrat politicians seem to slide through the judicial system, however, conservatives are finally able to speak up and speak out now that we have Trump in the White House. Democrats are trying to make Weiner and his "issues" go away and the mainstream media is barely covering any court hearings about it.
The radical left preaches feminism, but then elect officials that abuse women and little girls. More evidence of Democratic hypocrisy. Liberals are trying to play his wife, Huma Abedin, as the idiot woman who didn't know about the disgusting sexting, but the facts prove differently. She chooses to stay with a man who is abusing girls.
The FBI investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails last during 2016 presidential campaign, found not only messages between Hillary and Abedin on seized personal devices, but shocking messages between Weiner and numerous young girls.
Sources close to the couple stated the they, "believe this is an illness, that he is sick." When asked why Abedin is standing by his side through something so horrific, the friend replied, "Huma takes it into consideration that there's been no affair or physical contact that anybody is aware of." Sickening.
The latest girl to accuse Weiner of sexual misconduct told reporters that he sent her lewd messages for months and asked her to undress on camera. If convicted he could get many years in prison and be required to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. It's time at least one Democrat takes responsibility for their damaging immoral actions.

Happy (belated) Mother's Day!
I haven't been posting much recently, & I have no real excuse for that, except that I have been too busy reading! And I also managed to miss Mother's Day (which was yesterday), but, since my own mother is too far away for hugs today, I thought I'd share some love with some of my favourite fictional mothers. 🙂 That said, there's not that many of them. YA literature in general (which is what I mostly seem to read) is full of absent/horrible/not-even-mentioned parents, which is a shame. But here are some of the more memorable ones:
Emily Watson as Rosa Hubermann.
Rosa Hubermann (from The Book Thief by Markus Zusak) may not be Liesel's birth mother, but there's a lot of love between them anyway, and although Hans gets most of the parenting credit in this book, Rosa is a steady supporting presence, and very much in charge of discipline in the Hubermann household.
Molly Weasley, played by Julie Walters.
And, of course, I could never leave out Molly Weasley (from the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling), who has basically dedicated her entire adulthood to raising her seven (seven!) children.
Sally Jackson as portrayed by Catherine Keener in the film adaptation.
Sally Jackson (from the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series by Rick Riordan) is another mum who gave up a lot for her son – she even went so far as to marry one of the most awful husbands I've ever read about, just because his incredibly potent "mortal stench" would hide Percy from monsters!
Kyoko in the Fruits Basket anime.
As far as manga-mothers go, again, there aren't too many great ones, but Kyoko Honda (from Fruits Basket by Natsuki Takaya) definitely stands out, even though she died before the series even started. Her influence and memory is a huge part of what drives Tohru to keep doing her best, even when things are hard.
Sinéad Cusack as Mrs. Thornton (& Richard Armitage as her son Mr. Thornton) in the 2004 BBC adaptation of North & South.
And last, but by no means least, I give you Mrs. Thornton (from Elizabeth Gaskell's North & South). She may not be the kindest or gentlest of mothers, and she sometimes seems a little obsessive in her love for her son, but, as Mr. Thornton tells Margaret, "I had such a mother as few are blest with; a woman of strong power, and firm resolve."

We eat many types of foods in our life but, we like some the most. Different families like different types of foods according to their custom. Our elders do not like Italian or Chinese foods but, today's generation like it most. Spaghetti, noodles, burgers, macaroni and many others which give them a delightful taste. So, they demand these foods at home and our mothers are worried about it.
They don't know that how to cook them. Now there is no need to worry about it. I am sharing my personal experience and recipe with you people. It is the easiest method to make spaghetti at home in 30 minutes. Following is the recipe of delicious spaghetti.
First of all take a medium size pan, 3/4 filled with water and add 1 table spoon olive oil, 2 table spoons Chinese salt, 1 packet spaghetti and boil them for 15 minutes.
Than take a carrot and capsicum, cut them into small pieces after that crush the cabbage. Cut the meat into tiny pieces.
On the other side take a frying pan and drop some quantity of cooking oil in it and brown the chopped onion.
When onion is browned than add meat, black paper and chines salt in it and frying then. Also add one cup tomato paste and some amount of vinegar in it.
When meat is fried add all the vegetables in it and fried then too. Add chili sauce and soya sauce in it and mix all the ingredients gently.
Check the spaghetti is totally boiled or not. If it is boiled then remove it into a small whole based basket so that it will be dried.
Our all ingredients are fried and now take a big pot take 2 to 3 table spoons of oil and drop it into the pot because it will help to avoid from stickiness.
Put the spaghetti in to the pot and add all the fried ingredients in it.
After that carefully mix all the ingredients and add soya sauce, black paper, chines salt, chili sauce and tomato ketchup into it as per on your family demand or taste.
Now your spaghetti is ready, serve it into a bowl and garnish it with coriander (dhaniya) and place it in an impressive and delicious way so that no one can restrain itself from eating it.
Tasty tasty and delicious spaghetti is ready to eat. Turn your arms and ready to eat it.
It can equally suits you as a lunch, party and snacks. Make your own spaghetti today and share your precious comments and views with us. You really enjoyed it. If you have any query than do ask us. We will be extremely pleased to help you.

Automated driving in cities: Bosch and Daimler select Nvidia AI platform
Bosch and Daimler to source Drive Pegasus platform AI processors and software supplied by the U.S. AI computing company Nvidia.
Systems architectures for fully automated and driverless urban driving must be versatile, redundant, and fail-operational.
Bosch and Daimler machine-learning methods will generate vehicle-driving algorithms.
ECU network for automated urban driving handles hundreds of trillion operations per second.
Stuttgart – Automated vehicles are complex computers on wheels. And they need even more computing power if they are to negotiate city traffic automatically, with input sourced from an array of disparate surround sensors. In their alliance to put highly automated and driverless vehicles on urban streets, Bosch and Daimler have specified the computing power needed for their prospective system. The two companies have selected and signed an agreement with the U.S. AI computing company Nvidia as a supplier for the artificial intelligence (AI) platform they need. AI is an important building block in fully automated and driverless vehicles' network of several individual ECUs (Electronic control units). Under this contract, Nvidia will provide its Drive Pegasus platform powered by high performance AI automotive processors along with system software that will process the vehicle-driving algorithms generated by Bosch and Daimler using machine-learning methods. As a result, the ECU network will reach a computing capacity of hundreds of trillion operations per second. This is akin to the performance delivered by at least six synchronized, highly advanced deskside computer workstations. Bosch and Daimler will also be able to tap Nvidia's expertise to help develop the platform.
Urban automated driving
Collect image
Sensor data processed within fractions of a second
A versatile, redundant, and fail-operational systems architecture is needed to make automated driving in cities a reality. The performance bar for the networked ECUs is no lower, as navigating city traffic is a tremendous amount of work. This network handles all the information gathered and transmitted by disparate radar, video, lidar, and ultrasonic sensors. Just one video sensor, such as Bosch's stereo video camera, generates 100 gigabytes of data in just one kilometer. The ECU network combines data sourced from all the surround sensors in a process called sensor fusion. Within fractions of a second, it assesses this information and plans the trajectory of the vehicle. This is as fast as the sensation of touch that needs between 20 and 500 milliseconds to reach the human brain. Bosch and Daimler bring many years of experience to the development of functional safety systems. To achieve maximum safety and reliability, the necessary computing operations are done by a number of circuits in parallel. In the unlikely event of a malfunction, the results of these parallel calculations can be accessed in a flash.
ECU network to be integrated into battery cells' cooling circuit
The high computing capacity and the huge number of operations to be performed mean that the ECU network needs to be cooled. Bosch and Daimler developed an efficient concept based on liquid cooling. In this jointly developed system for highly automated and driverless driving in cities, Mercedes-Benz intends to deploy battery-powered vehicles. These cars have a cooling system on board, so engineers can make the most of this legacy technology by integrating the ECU network into the battery cells' advanced cooling circuit.
Bosch and Daimler staff working side by side
In April 2017, Bosch and Daimler announced they would be joining forces in an effort to put highly automated and driverless vehicles on city streets. This alliance is developing a driving system for use in vehicles that will be able to maneuver through city traffic driverlessly. The technology is to be ramped up for mass production by the beginning of the next decade. Bosch and Daimler are working together in the greater Stuttgart area and in Silicon Valley. The two companies' personnel are co-located, working practically at adjacent desks. This allows them to quickly and efficiently share information across disciplines and to make decisions fast.

LA VERNE, Calif. — Pomona-Pitzer made just enough plays down the stretch to edge the La Verne football team, 21-20, on Saturday afternoon at Ortmayer Stadium.
La Verne falls to 1-7 overall and 1-5 in the SCIAC. Pomona-Pitzer improves to 6-2 and 5-1.
Dallas Parent found daylight and ran for a 68-yard touchdown, Eric Rembecky converted the extra point attempt and the Leopards took a 20-14 lead as third quarter expired.
But Pomona-Pitzer quarterbacks Edward Sias and Karter Odermann combined to engineer a 12-play, 88-yard touchdown drive capped off by a two-yard run by Odermann to put the Sagehens up, 21-20 with 8:41 left in the game. The Leopards turned the ball over on downs on their next drive as the Sagehens snuffed out a fake punt.
La Verne pinned the Sagehens in at their own seven-yard line with a punt and forced them to punt with 40 seconds left, giving itself one final shot to win the game. But in an aggressive attempt to block the punt, the Leopards ran into the kicker and gave the Sagehens a first down. With La Verne out of timeouts, Pomona-Pitzer took a knee to end the game.
After being held to under 100 yards rushing in each of the last two games, Dallas Parent gained 120 on 10 carries and scored a touchdown. Robert Fernandez finished with 24 yards and a score on a toss play in the second quarter.
The Leopards got off to a good start, going up 10-0, in the second quarter on the touchdown run by Fernandez and took a 13-7 lead into the break as Rembecky made two field goals in the half. But Odermann hooked up with Kevin Masini for a 23-yard touchdown on the opening drive of the second half and the Sagehens held on.
Zachary Tomlinson passed for 212 yards as he went 12-of-26.
Sias completed 16-of-20 passes for 168 yards and Odermann was 5-for-7 with two touchdowns. Odermann added 47 yards and a score on the ground.
Before the game, the Leoapards celebrated the careers of their 26 seniors with a brief pregame ceremony.
The Leopards conclude their 2016 season on the road at Whittier next Saturday.


The creation of excellent wine starts in the vineyard. The French have coined the term "terroir" to define the factors that have an impact on the unique taste of each wine. These factors are the specific compilation of soil conditions, the trellising method used, the amount of precipitation, the proximity to the moderating influence of bodies of water, the intensity of heat units and the length of time for growing and maturing the grapes.
Situated on the same latitude as the Mediterranean, the Lake Erie North Shore and Pelee Island wine region benefits from their proximity to Lake Erie, offering a unique maritime climate in a continental location. Some of the finest vinifera and French Hybrid wine grapes are produced by world class viticulturalists in this unique location which offers ideal soil conditions, longer sun hours and greater heat units than anywhere else in Canada.
This paradise of wine growing in the midst of the largest concentration of fresh water (The Great Lakes) in the world is as far south as Northern California, the Tuscanny Region of Italy, and the great Bordeaux and Burgundy wine regions of France.
Our region saw the earliest establishment of commercial grape to wine production in the country. While there was an ebb during Prohibition and during the influx of the Tobacco Industry, there is no doubt that the industry has roared back into prominence with the creation of the VQA standard.
This term stands for "Vintner's Quality Assurance". It is a regulating body modeled after the French "nom d'appellation" quality system. The VQA designation assures the truth of origin and a standard of quality, for all wines produced in our regions. The VQA officially designates the Lake Erie North Shore as a wine region capable of consistently producing world class wines made from vinifera and French Hybrid grapes grown in a clearly identifiable unique climate and geographical zone.
You can thus be assured that when tasting a wine from this region, you are experiencing the offerings of a dedicated group of growers and wine makers, and the tastes of the sun, air, soil and waters of our special region.

INTERVIEW: Jonny Craig Exposed – The Drugs, The Sex, The Scams
No Comments on INTERVIEW: Jonny Craig Exposed – The Drugs, The Sex, The Scams
"It's sketchy back here," says Jonny Craig as he steps out of his van to scope the dark alley. We're in the middle of California's High Desert in a narrow loading dock behind the venue that stretches nearly a football field long. Aside from faint lights glimmering by the old train tracks a couple hundred feet away, everything is pitch black, and cold winds are nearing 40 mph. "Can I get a rundown of these questions?" he asks in a paranoid tone, suspicious of our release form. "I don't sign just anything."
Over the past few years Craig has established a reputation for being the scene's biggest troublemaker and has become one of the most hated musicians in the world. His 2011 MacBook scam – where he convinced fans to wire transfer hundreds of dollars in exchange for an undelivered laptop to buy heroin – stained his career and turned his support group and the music community against him. Booted from Emarosa, shunned from Dance Gavin Dance, in and out of jail and rehab, Craig's misbehavior has made him the center of controversy and public humiliation.
But despite years of turbulence and public scorn Craig seems unshakeable, and his contradicting personality has made his die-hard fans even more obsessed – even with the rest of the world against him. With a Corona in hand he talks of his current sobriety; then he mentions how some of the kids he ripped off in his scam donated to his IndieGoGo campaign, which raised $20,000 to fund his upcoming solo EP. And all the while, he speaks with a strange authenticity.
For the first time on camera Craig opens up about his intimate childhood experiences, how his inner devil got the best of him over the years, and lessons learned from scamming his fans online.
"I definitely stopped caring about what people thought of me," he says of his infamy. "I'm just a normal ass human being trying to live my life."
