The non-driveside dropout is relieved to shave a few grams. Every little bit counts, right?
Rather than develop a cheaper carbon frame to anchor the value-minded end of its lineup, Eddy Merckx has instead made the bold decision to unveil an all-new, high-end aluminium platform called Blockhaus 67. It's light, supposedly rides quite well, and certainly offers better value than what you'd otherwise get with a carbon fiber frame.
The Blockhaus moniker derives from Merckx's first Grand Tour stage victory at the Giro d'Italia in 1967, a mountaintop finish that he didn't expect to win. Not surprisingly then, the new frame is admirably light with a claimed weight of just 1,150g for a medium painted sample thanks to triple butted 6069 aluminium alloy tubing, which the company says is as much as 30 percent stronger than standard 6061. According to Eddy Merckx, the mechanically formed tubes are also lighter than more conventionally hydroformed ones.
Other features include double-pass welds for smooth-looking joints that don't have to be ground, internal (mechanical only) cable routing, a tapered 1 1/8-to-1 1/2in integrated head tube, a flared and ovalized seat tube, uniquely twisted seatstays that supposedly enhance rider comfort, and a PF86 press-fit bottom bracket shell that allows the big asymmetrical chainstays to be pushed further apart. Going along with the new frame is a 350g all-carbon fork with a built-in crown race.
The new Blockhaus 67 will be available starting in September with two complete build options: one with Shimano Tiagra for US$1,499 and a higher-end version with Shimano 105 for US$1,999. UK and Australian pricing is currently unknown.

About WACL History Last Updated: Sep 16, 2020
It usually comes as some surprise to people, that WACL was founded as long ago as January 1923. It also says something for that era that the Club was founded by men, for women! Its 'Godfathers', who forever retained the Club's affection were, from the client side, Mr John Cheshire, MD of Lever Brothers, and from advertising Sir William Crawford and Mr CH Vernon of C Vernon & Sons.
The reasons for the founding of the Club were quite simple: firstly, a growing number of women were beginning to find their way into (non-secretarial) roles within the advertising industry, as saleswomen for advertising space, and as managers within advertising agencies. Even more importantly, however, a convention of the International Advertising Association was due to be held at Wembley in 1924. A significant number of the American delegates due to arrive were women, and at that time there was no organisation capable of organising the welcome for such women.
From such a relatively pragmatic beginning, WACL has grown in size, influence and status to the organisation it is today.
Fortunately, from its very beginning, our members (WACLers), led by the year's President & Executive Committee, have maintained a record of their activities over each year, comprising handwritten 'Minutes', letters & telegrams, artefacts & programmes from various events, together with photographs, illustrations, and advertising. This archive, kept at the History of Advertising Trust, and updated regularly, offers a fascinating example of women's social history in Britain. It also serves to confirm that WACL itself, whilst moving with the times, has always stayed true to its original values of companionship & mutual support, offering a uniquely special welcome to both women & men alike at its public events.
You are invited to take a look at how WACL has met with events throughout its history by clicking on each decade. And below please see a slideshow kindly curated by HAT showing 90 wonderful years of WACL images. (click on the far right icon to open in full screen to enjoy it at its best!)

Jesse Lee Soffer is an American actor who is most active on the small screen. Starting out as a child actor, we've literrally watched Soffer grow up on our screens. Soffer gained widespread recognition playing Will Munson on the CBS soap opera As the World Turns, a role that garnered him 3 Emmy nominations. In recent years, he is best recognized as the hunky detective on NBC drama Chicago PD. Soffer also stars in related shows like Chicago Fire and Chicago Med.
Read on for all there is to know about the New Yorker.
Jesse Lee Soffer was born on April 23, 1984, in Ossining, New York to Stan Soffer and Jill B. Hindes. He has four siblings namely; Melisa Soffer, Jenna Hindes, Craig Soffer, Shayne A. Hindes. His family relocated to Tarrytown before making their home in Connecticut where Soffer spent the most part of his early days attending the private coeducational boarding prep school, The Gunnery. In school, Soffer was an active athlete. He played soccer and in his senior year, he made the all-star team. He graduated in 2002 before attending college at New York University.
Soffer's love for acting developed when he was just a kid. At the age of 6, he landed his first ever acting gig in a commercial for Kix cereal. At 8, Soffer made his Hollywood debut appearing in the feature film, Matinee (1993).
His subsequent films would include Safe Passage (1994), The Brady Bunch Movie (1995), and A Very Brady Sequel (1996). Soffer got his first recurring TV role in Two of a Kind alongside the famous Olsen twins. After another recurring role in Guiding Light (1999), Soffer went on a brief hiatus to focus on his studies as a senior in high school.
He returned to acting in 2004 with a role in As the World Turns which became his big break bringing him 3 Emmy nominations for Outstanding Younger Actor in a Drama Series (2006, 2007, 2008), as well as a Soap Opera Digest Award nomination for Outstanding Younger Lead Actor (2005).
Soffer returned to film in 2007 appearing in sports drama film Gracie as Johnny Bowen. However, Soffer remained more active on the small screen appearing in TV movies and taking up guest roles in a number of TV shows including CSI: Miami (2008), The Philanthropist (2009), The Mentalist (2011) and a main role in The Mob Doctor.
In 2013, Soffer landed the role of Jay Halstead in the second season of Chicago Fire. He then became one of the main characters in the first spin-off Chicago P.D.
At first, Soffer and Bush kept their relationship on the low-key, but it wasn't long before word got out that they were a pair.
News of their breakup hit the tabloids in June 2015, making the duration of their relationship about a year.
"Sophia and Jesse just didn't work out. They dated for about a year and then grew apart. They're still friends though!" an insider told Just Jared who broke the news.
To the delight of fans, Bush continued to play the on-screen love interest of Soffer on Chicago P.D, despite their off-screen breakup.
After the news of their split, paparrazzi cameras caught Soffer and Bush holding hands on the streets of New York in September 2015 (pictured). However, it could not be confirmed if the two were back together or if it was just a friendly hold.
In August 2017, it was reported that Bush was leaving the NBC drama after 4 seasons, but could return for guest roles.
It would interest fans to know that Soffer does his own stunts on Chicago P.D, which means he puts in a lot of work to make sure he stays athletic. But Soffer wasn't always hunky, or interested in building a bulky body.
"I liked being one of the fastest guys on the field," he told Mens Fitness.
"I'm playing a cop in Chicago. So I have to look beefier—like a guy who eats steak and potatoes," Soffer added.
While the body measurements of the hunk has never been revealed, he is estimated to stand at about 5 feet 8 inches tall.
Catch Up with Soffer on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

A review of the literature reveals that organisational commitment is an outcome of organisational culture, when reviewing the definitions, theoretical development and models of these two concepts. The integration of organisational commitment with organisational culture indicates that there is a need for a scientific study to determine the relationship between these two variables. The empirical study involved the participation of 371 respondents in an organisation. A survey was conducted using the organisational commitment scale and the organisational culture questionnaire to determine the relationship between organisational culture and organisational commitment. The results suggest that organisational culture has an effect on organisational commitment. Recommendations are made to successfully implement both organisational culture and organisational commitment change initiatives.

From Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah, Bridlewood's range of critically acclaimed wines are handcrafted with care and tell the colorful story of the Central Coast, including the relaxed lifestyle, local cuisine and incredible vineyards. A bottle of Bridlewood wine is a combination of expert grape selection and craftsmanship. Our winemakers strategically chart a course throughout the premier regions of California's Central Coast—including Monterey County, Paso Robles, Edna Valley and Santa Barbara County— to find a distinct blend of grapes. In the winery, each lot is fermented separately and then blended together, creating the perfect combination of flavors and textures. Visit Bridlewood's stunning 105-acre estate and tasting room in the heart of Santa Barbara County to discover what makes Bridlewood one of the premier estate vineyards in the Santa Ynez Valley.
Beautiful winery close to town in Santa Ynez. Bridlewood is a great place to visit if you want to experience the beauty of vineyards and the convenience of a tasting room close to town (it is equally scenic and convenient). The staff were very knowledgeable and provided a comprehensive, fun and casual experience. They had great bread and olive oil, too!
Great experience. Our guide, Kevin, was wonderful. Would 100% come back!
We LOVE this winery! In my opinion, it is the best one I've ever been to! The lake for the members to bring a lunch and eat at is amazing. I wish I could post my pics! The staff are so friendly and accommodating. We love visiting Cannonball (the horse) every visit. A suggestion would be to visit the Frontierland Grocery (upscale) to pick up lunch (as good as Whole Foods).
Staff and environment was wonderful as usual. Always welcoming and friendly.
Had a great wine tasting experience in the barrel room. Good wine ??
We arrived on a Monday and were greeted by Kevin. He was courteous, friendly and has a great personality. We were very impressed by his knowledge of both the wines and the winery. This visit confirmed in our minds why we are wine club members at Bridlewood! Great customer service and great wines - can't be beat! Thanks Kevin for another great visit!
Gorgeous property, both its architecture and setting. Mike, our sommelier was very patient and knowledgeable.
Fantastic tour and tasting at this stunning estate. The blind wine tasting was really fun and educational.
That was really awesome and exciting.I was so happy too.
We enjoyed our private tasting, especially since the wines were side by side. It really brought out the different characteristics of the grapes and styles of wine.
Always a wonderful experience with Bridlewood! Great service , ambiance everything!
Our group of 14 arrived on a gloomy, rainy day, but had a great experience overall--I just wish we'd been able to enjoy the outdoor space more than we did. The wine was excellent--you ended up with several new wine club members as a result. And the team was very gracious and welcoming. Overall, a big thumbs up!
Been members almost 2 years. We love Sherrie and Janet. They always greet us with open arms. Would love if a chavigion was introduced and a merlot.
Love the winery! Love the wines!
I would also recommend it to friends and family but my boss is most likely to go. We were greeted warmly and given a great tasting, awesome wines, some simple pairings and all free as we are members of their wine club. Left with a few bottles.
Melissa and Cheryl warmly greeted us....on Valentine's Day at noon. Only challenge was the gate opening which required that I roll down the window in the pouring rain... it was challenging to hear the intercom...as my left arm got suddenly drenched. Loved the inside the barn heaters....warmed both our bodies and our hearts! Was attentively taken care of and the VD sweets were a hit!
Very pleased with our experience. We were moved into members lounge and participated in the side by side tasting they offered that day.
We have enjoyed our visits to Bridlewood for several years, and joined their Wine Club on our first visit. The staff are all wonderful: very friendly and knowledgeable, and able to answer just about every question. The Club Members room was almost full when we arrived, but the staff still were able to warmly greet us and get us seated quickly. Wish I could remember our pourer's name: he was great!
Love Bridlewood beautiful place. Staff are very friendly and professional. Most of all the wine is amazing. Thank you.
Every experience I have had at Bridlewood has been very good. The employees go out of their way to make sure we enjoy the experience.
Melissa was super friendly and had amazing service. I like the wine comparison tasting it was something different. I also like the olive oil tasting. I will probably buy some of that next time I am up.
My husband and I did the vineyard tour. We had such a great time - loved seeing the grounds and learning more about how to distinguish different varieties of wines. Kevin was our guide and was very knowledgeable and warm. We especially loved the blind taste test - it was lots of fun and something we hadn't done before!
such a beautiful location! only wish we could go down to the lake area, but it is reserved for wine club members only.
AMAZING!!!!!! From the wine to the astaff (Melissa) to the grounds. The wine was the best we've had in Athens entire area from Buellton to Los Olivos. We are now members and can't wait to return.
Members room is loud. I LOVE that the tasting is available via reservation only. Just wish the main room workers were as friendly as the member room hosts.
The grounds are beautiful but the wines don't match the ambiance. Paid $20 for a tasting and felt that was way too much. I thought we were to get a tour when I registered but it didn't happen. There are so many great properties in the area I'll likely skip this one the next time.
We had reservations for a group of 10 of us. We were greeted upon our arrival and our pourer was very knowledgeable and friendly. Not only were the wines we tasted great, but the winery and the grounds are beautiful! We had fun walking around after our tasting. I would recommend visiting!
The grounds are beautiful and the wines that were included in our tasting were absolutely delightful. From top to bottom in the lineup, we all remarked how consistently good they were. They were smooth and flavorful, and each one better than the one before. We loved the property, and our host, Sherrie was very personable and informative. After our tasting and tour, we became Wine Club Members!!
Great experience - not members and wished we could have had access to the lake as my wife doesn't drink (it's an allergic reaction). we went here because she loves vineyards that have lakes, horses, beautiful settings, etc. it's a great place for both of us as I love the surroundings as well. The wine exceeded my expectations. didn't join the club as I have too many memberships.
Beautiful grounds. Welcoming and informational host. My husband LOVED spinning records in the Club member room. Brought our lunch, tasted wines (immediately joined wine club) and enjoyed our friends! Plan to go. Don't plan to rush through. Great experience.
It was a beautiful estate and the wine is very good. I joined the wine club.
Bridlewood is always a comfortable place to stop and purchase good wines.
It couldn't have been better. After an entertaining sampling, we bought a bottle to go with the Thanksgiving leftovers we brought and basked in the sun picnicking by the lake. We followed that with a stroll around the coral and a second bottle under the porticos watching the sunset. Can't beat that now, can ya'?.
Bridlewood was the location I chose to propose to my girlfriend of 7 years, and WOW, what a magical afternoon they helped me create. Just driving up to the property, you know this place means business. They were extremely hospitable, providing everything I needed to make something over the top special for my fiance. They even helped me track down a local photographer to take pics! We will be back!

Suspected chlorine gas attack on rebel-controlled Aleppo
Four dead and many injured after observers say gas dropped on city

At least four people died and many suffered breathing difficulties when a gas, believed to be chlorine, was dropped alongside barrel bombs on a neighbourhood of the Syrian city of Aleppo on Wednesday, a hospital and a civil defence group told Reuters.

Hamza Khatib, the manager of Al Quds hospital in Aleppo, said the hospital had recorded four deaths from gas poisoning and 55 injuries. Seven people were still receiving hospital treatment.

Mr Khatib said he was preserving pieces of patients' clothing and fragments from the barrel bombs as evidence for analysis.
Syria Civil Defence, a Syrian rescue service operating in rebel-held territory, said that it had recorded three deaths and 22 injuries after a barrel containing a gas suspected of being chlorine fell on the Zubdiya neighbourhood of rebel-held Aleppo.
The group, which describes itself as a neutral band of search and rescue volunteers, said it could not independently verify the nature of the gas.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a war monitor, said helicopters dropped explosive barrels on the neighbourhoods of Seif al Dawla and Zubdiya, leading to the death of a woman and her child from suffocation.
The northern city of Aleppo, Syria's most populous before the war, is split into rebel- and government-held districts.
Capturing the whole city would be a major prize for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the country's five-year-old conflict.
A fierce battle for control of the city broke out on Friday when rebels staged a major assault to break through a month-long government siege of the city's rebel-held east, where about 250,000 people are thought to be living.
Fighters managed to pierce the ring of government-controlled territory, but a safe corridor for civilians and aid has not yet been established.
Russia's defence ministry said it would hold fire around Syria's ravaged city of Aleppo for three hours each day, starting yesterday, to allow humanitarian aid in, an initiative the UN said is insufficient to meet the city's needs. The pause would take place daily from 0700 GMT to 1000 GMT, although it was not clear how many days it would continue.
Shortly after Moscow's announcement, the United Nations' top aid official said that halting fire for three hours a day would not be enough to ensure that civilians' humanitarian needs are met.
"To meet that capacity of need, you need two lanes and you need to have about 48 hours to get sufficient trucks in," Stephen O'Brien, UN under-secretary general for humanitarian affairs, told reporters.
Up to two million people in Aleppo have gone without running water for the past four days, UN agencies said.
There have been unconfirmed reports among activists and residents of chlorine gas falling on rebel-held east Aleppo since the insurgent offensive.
The Aleppo Media Centre, an online opposition news portal for the city, posted a video of a child and adults wearing breathing apparatus, who it said were victims of the gas attack. Two men interviewed said barrel bombs were dropped and there was a strong smell of gas. People then began to suffer breathing and eye problems.
Government and opposition forces have both denied using chemical weapons during Syria's conflict. Western powers say the government has been responsible for chlorine and other chemical attacks. The government and Russia have accused rebels of using poison gas.
UN investigators established that sarin gas was used in Eastern Ghouta in 2013. The US accused Damascus of that attack, which it estimates killed 1,429 people, including at least 426 children. Damascus denied responsibility, and blamed rebels.
Later that year the UN and the Syrian government agreed to destroy the state's declared stockpile of chemical weapons, a process completed in January.
The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons confirmed in late 2015 that sulphur mustard, commonly known as mustard gas, had been used for the first time in the conflict, without saying which party in the many-sided conflict it thought had used it.

In the Eye of the Levi Johnston Media Hurricane

Fleshbot awards

Daniel Nardicio
At this very moment, Levi Johnston is undressing for a Playgirl photo shoot. But last night he was at The Box accepting an award from Fleshbot while a scrum of reporters poked and probed the Wasilla boy for a story.
He did a remarkable job of not saying much. At 8:15 the party had barely begun at the downtown hotspot, known for its strict velvet rope and the racy performances on its main stage, the gregarious Tank Jones and his brother Marvin (in the role as Levi's trainer) were some of the first people to arrive. They installed the one-time human campaign prop at a table in the corner of the balcony so that several PR people could start the parade of press. The rest of the venue was practically empty, but everyone was clustered around Levi.
As the Observer's John Koblin interviewed Playgirl's spokesman Daniel Nardicio about the future of the magazine, the Levi interviews started. Everyone made way for a camera crew from Entertainment Tonight, which has exclusive access to Levi for all the behind-the-scenes action for the photo shoot that is taking place right now (if everything goes according to schedule). We didn't get close enough to hear what they asked during their ten minutes with Levi.
As they clear out, there were more print interviews to do. Michael Musto came by to say hi, but he interviewed Levi at his hotel earlier. I asked Musto if he was a good interview. He said yes, but agrees that it's hard to get him to say much. Jo Piazza from CNN came in and taped a few second with the Johnston crew. Before she started her interveiew, Tank said he's not answering questions about Sarah Palin or about suing for custody of Tripp, Levi's son with Palin's daughter Bristol. Then he flirted with her a little bit as she squeezed in next to Levi to ask her questions. Most of the questions were the same all night: How is this different from Alaska? What is he going to show? Is he ready for the shoot? Does he know that he's a gay icon? Will he do more porn? What does the future hold?
Levi always answers with the fewest words possible. This may make him appear a bit dim, but it seems a smart move for a guy who's standing around a bunch of people paid to turn any utterance he makes into "news." With the reporters gone, he quietly joked with Tank and Marvin.
When Piazza was done, he joked a bit with Nardicio, teaching him how to tuck a dollop of chew under his lip. "Don't you throw up on this table!" Tank chided. A PR person came by and said there were more interviews to be done. "I know. This isn't my first rodeo," Levi said. Another reporter sat down, this one from People. They knew to send a pretty girl.
When she left, the PR man told Tank that Page Six boss Richard Johnson wanted an introduction. Tank responded, "We're not talking to them. No pictures, nothing." The PR man conveyed the message to Johnson. "He just wants to say hi," Mr. PR pleaded with Tank. But Tank had made up his mind: No Levi for Johnson. "That's fine," said the Page Six editor before heading back downstairs. After he left, Tank complained about a Page Six item accusing Levi having a small dick and thus afraid to do any full-frontal shots: "That's not true!"
There was a break in the action and a PR girl brought by the trophy Levi will receive later in the evening: an 11-inch dildo made of silver. Everyone at the table laughed nervously and made jokes about how Levi isn't going to accept a dildo. Levi returned his trophy to the nice lady and said, "I can't believe I just won a giant silver dildo." He and Tank conferred and decide there can't be any pictures taken of him holding it, so they plan to have Nardicio take the stage with him and hold the award.
Then the photographers arrived. In groups of two, they came by the corner, their flashbulbs blinding in the dark club. Levi knew to look directly into the camera and then occasionally look away to blink. He didn't look like he was having any fun. When all that was over, he passed some time ogling the scantily-clad go-go dancers down below. Tank said, "Those are all real women right? I don't want to look if they're not real women." Another laugh. Nardicio tells them that they're all real women. I pointed out that there were definitely some drag queens in the mix. "That's OK, I didn't want those ones anyway," Levi responded. He told me that he hadn't had any time to go out and party while in New York City. "It's been all work. I'm all about business," he says. "But I like New York more each time I come here." What does he think about this event? "It's different," is all he'll say.
As the show starts, Gawker alum Joshua David Stein showed up asking questions for New York magazine. It was getting loud, the house was full. Tank informed him they'd do an interview later. Levi leaned over the balcony to watching the award ceremony on stage and performances by the likes of boy/boy/girl aerialist trio Mantryx. When the intermission came, the crew decided to go outside for some air.
Out on the sidewalk, it is a whole different scene. Dressed in identical tuxedos like they all went shopping at the same men's store earlier that evening, they moved as a unit. Flanked by two enormous black men, Levi wasn't easy to approach. That didn't stop the reporters. Kelefa Sanneh from the New Yorker came up received a stern lecture from Tank about not asking about Palin or custody. Sanneh started his round of questioning but was cut off by the arrival of two 20-something guys who made up TMZ's camera crew. They'd been tailing Levi and his crew ever since they arrived in New York and seemed almost like old friends. Sanneh backed off, to avoid getting captured by their camera. TMZ doesn't care about restrictions and they began asking about custody and Palin. Tank demurred. "Come on, you know better than that."
While Tank was distracted by dealing with the TMZ mess, Jacob Bernstein from The Daily Beast snuck up and peppered Levi with questions and scribbled furiously in his notebook. A male-female duo from Hollywood Life sidled up and began asking their own questions and with a Flip camera. After the questions, the Hollywood Life crew each took their picture with Levi. With Levi alone again, Sanneh came back for a second attempt at an interview. This time, though, he talked more to Tank that Levi. It's easy to go that direction, since Tank is a gregarious quote machine while Levi answers everything with about three words.
Levi was scheduled to accept his award as soon as the ceremony restarted after the intermission. The PR girl shadowing him told him and Nardicio to go hang out at Nick Denton's table so they'd be right next to the stage. but there isn't any room at the Gawker Media overlord's table. Levi headed instead for socialite Tinsley Mortimer's table where photographers eagerly snapped the unlikely pairing. Joshua David Stein returned for his promised interview, but Levi said he needs clear it with Tank. Stein rebutted that Tank had already cleared it, but Levi — who either didn't remember, didn't care, or simply wanted to protect himself — turned him down again, this time a little more firmly. Marvin stepped in and said they'd talk to Tank and do the interview later.
[City mouse Tinsley Mortimer hangs out with small-town boy Levi Johnston last night at the awards…
Levi asked who he needs to thank in his speech which he obviously hasn't thought about until then. Nardicio told him to thank Fleshbot and The Box. Levi added that he should also say something about the upcoming issue of Playgirl and to tell people to buy it. He is all business.
When his award was announced he and Nardicio went on stage where Levi successfully avoided being photographed with a big silver dildo. His speech was exactly what he planned: He thanked Fleshbot and The Box and then told everyone to buy his issue of Playgirl.
After leaving the stage, he meets up with Tank and Marvin and they head out the door. He has to get up early to work out before his big shoot. Our colleague Irin over at Jezebel got her questions answered about the type of ladies Levi likes and JDS eventually got his interview, making poor Richard Johnson the only person denied the chance to exchange banalities with the man of the hour. Levi, like he said, was all about business, and last night his business was spectacle.

In a world of abstraction the necessity for 'pavement' is Here and Now, during the wake of re-birth. Elements from our past such as the feelings of MIDNIGHT, the smell of LEMONGRASS, the uneasiness of ANXIETY & the presence of TRANQUILITY have merged to give you the future of Phuture Collective. What comes next can only be defined as a 'departure' from the foundation that lay before you.
For Now – we give you issue eleven | pavement – featuring the CORE of Phuture alongside worthy newcomers who we hope join us for the rest of our journey.
FOOTNOTE: after going for three years on various synesthetic themes such as pineapple, gold, lychee, midnight, lust, recovery & so on – we've decided to keep our synesthetic themes, but with a story. Re-Birth is the first of several, leading up to Pavement which ties into Flight & Departure. These themes tell the story of the future of Phuture ourselves. This album, Re-Birth tells the story of a re-birth from start to finish. From there we go on with this issue, pavement – which sets in stone what we wish to showcase to the world. Our next issue (twelve) is theme around 'departure' which is the act of taking off with the experimental bass that we feel is the future / innovational.

Donald Trump Delivers Great Speech In Great Falls, Montana; Mocks George Bush Senior's "1000 Points of Light" Speech
July 6, 2018 The Narrator Leave a Comment
Donald Trump delivered a passionate speech at a rally in Great Falls, Montana yesterday on July 5th, 2018, and promoted Senate candidate Matt Rosendale, but that isn't all that Trump touched upon during his speech. There were quite a few gems from Donald Trump during his address, and it included rightful attacks on Maxine Waters, Chuck Schumer, Elizabeth Warren and on current Democrat Senator Jon Tester, in exposing his backwards liberal agenda on many pressing issues.
There was patriotism in the air, and surely many Q followers were hidden within the crowd, as roars rang out for the outspoken American President, encouraging for a vote for Matt Rosendale in the November midterm elections. Donald Trump also expressed the necessity of ICE and in protecting them, which helps to keep American's safe and criminals out of the country by removing them, such as MS-13 gang members from Central American countries.
It's clear to everyone that Democrats need more illegal immigrants for their votes, shunning their own citizens for the rights of illegals, but Trump's support is growing and growing. Donald Trump also referred to crooked Hillary Clinton and hinted at Robert Mueller, calling them both a "disgrace" and that the system is "rigged."

Donald Trump also offered Elizabeth Warren $1 million to take a DNA test to prove her Native American past, since the claims she's made have been used to further her political career, and has also earned her the name of "Pocahontas".
Donald Trump said, "I'm going to get one of those little DNA kits and if I'm debating her, we will toss it to her, very gently so it doesn't injure her arm, and we'll say, 'Pocahontas, I'll give you a million dollars if you take the test to show you're an Indian!"
Elizabeth Warren responded on Twitter, "While you obsess over my genes, your Admin is conducting DNA tests on little kids because you ripped them from their mamas & you are too incompetent to reunite them in time to meet a court order. Maybe you should focus on fixing the lives you're destroying."

Donald Trump also spoke about upcoming trade negotiations with Germany and which indicates that disgraced Chancellor Angela "Mother of all Migrants" Merkel will be in for a truly bumpy road ahead in presumed trade tariffs, unless new deals are made to be fair for both sides.
Trump also said that Vladimir Putin is "fine", indicating that there are other enemies whom are the real one's to worry about, since Putin is an ally, despite the mockingbird media's claims on Russia and Putin, and all the "Fake News" associated with Russia from the Deep State cabal "dishonest news media."
Donald Trump said he prefers a good relationship with both Russia and China, meaning new beneficial trade partnerships. Let's take a look at his speech. Enjoy!
He tackled the "dishonest media" and the "fake news" perpetrators, and said that they make up their own sources very often. Trump said, "These are bad people" in reference to the fake news media.
In one of the highlights of his speech, President Donald Trump touched upon former President George Bush Senior, exposing his old public address where he spoke of "1,000 points of light" which Trump mocked during his speech. What does "1,000 points light" mean? Well, quite clearly it exposed George Bush Senior's ties to the Illuminati and the 1,000 factions of the Illuminati involved in reigning in the New World Order. Hmmm… (think about it!)
So there you have it! As if we needed any more proof of an ongoing Deep State cabal previous course of power, from George Bush Senior, to Bill Clinton, to George W. Bush and to later Barack Obama, and that's why that they really despise Donald Trump, because he's for the people and a political outsider, not apart of the New World Order agenda.
Trump also stressed the necessity of legal immigration and in keeping the borders safe, finalising on that Democrats have gone so far as to want total "anarchy", which is so true as they continue to lose voters. We can all hope that Maxine Waters will run for the 2020 presidential election, right? Since we all know, and as Trump said, she's a "low IQ individual" with a score probably in the "low 60's", so there's always that to look forward to. Great speech!
God Bless Trump!

By BY Examiner Staff • September 19, 2010 12:00 am
A month ago, a shocking tale about a man who brutally stabbed a dog at Fort Funston seized hearts and news headlines in the Bay Area.
At one point, it was "San Francisco's No. 1 story."
It did not take long for other stories to take its spot, but dog owners in The City haven't forgotten the afternoon a 33-year-old pit bull owner allegedly stabbed a dog named Lenny multiple times near the Sunset Trail — and they are angry the assailant has not been charged for the crime.
Dog walkers in The City are upset that the federal authorities — who have jurisdiction over Fort Funston since it is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area — have not yet arrested the man responsible for the attack and have refused to say why the investigation is being held up.
The attack occurred around 2:30 p.m. Aug. 19. Accounts vary on what happened before the stabbing. One report was that it occurred after the woman, who owns the dog that was attacked, asked whether the man's pit bull was neutered.
Lenny survived at least four stab wounds, but suffered a punctured lung and had to have his spleen removed, police said. The story spread rapidly among a tightly knit dog-walking community, and was widely reported. The U.S. Park Police initially said an arrest would be made within a week of the incident. As of Friday, no arrest had been made.
"[The investigation is] still ongoing and we have no comment at this time," U.S. Attorney's Office spokesman Jack Gillund said Friday.
Authorities have said the investigation is difficult because the only witness is the accuser. The pit bull owner has retained an attorney, U.S. Park Police spokesman George Durgerian said.
The man has admitted to stabbing the dog, but is claiming he did so in self-defense, said Nancy Stafford, co-director of the San Francisco Professional Dogwalkers Association.
"It's a 'he said she said' case," Stafford said. "But the facts are the facts. He stabbed the dog and he ran away. It's very upsetting and a lot of people are worried. They're concerned about him going to other parks."
Dog walkers say they don't believe Lenny attacked the man.
Linda McKay of the Fort Funston Dog Walkers Association said park goers are frustrated and "a little incensed" at the federal government. She said the accused man is known to walk his dog at Fort Funston and Stern Grove, though hasn't been sighted at the parks since the attack.
"I assume he's lying low," she said.
McKay doesn't think dog walkers are afraid he will return. They feel "that something horrible occurred and this guy is getting off
completely."
There are worse things to fear in city parks, McKay said. In 2006, a 59-year-old San Francisco man shot two hang gliders, mortally wounding one, at Fort Funston before turning the gun on himself.
McKay recalls an incident in another park when a woman was attacked by another dog person.
"We get the occasional crazy," McKay said. "It's hard to know what to do with people like that, whether to take them seriously."

DU Battery Saver is yet another Android app from DU Apps Studio, who you might know from the fairly decent DU Speed Booster used by many Android users. DU Battery Saver is an app that combines a number of neat features into one app. You're always given a countdown of how long your battery is going to last, the ability to optimize things automatically, set your modes to keep your battery running as smoothly as possible, and the ability to take a detailed look at which apps have been using your battery up. All-in-all, DU Battery Saver sure looks like a comprehensive battery app and there has to be a reason over 100 Million users have downloaded it, so let's take a look and find out, shall we?
To get started with DU Battery Saver, a quick download from the Play Store is all that's needed. Once you launch the app for the first time, you'll see an estimate of how much longer your battery is going to last as well as the option to optimize things.
When you hit the optimize button, an automated process will start to look through the running apps on your device to see what it can do to help make the most of your remaining battery life. Apparently, this process extended my battery life by almost an hour when compared with the screenshot above.
A wholly more enjoyable feature to me were the Saver modes, of which there are a handful split into normal and 'smart'.
With these modes, you can create your own, and give them individual names, something that has to be one of my favorite features of the app. Here, I can go ahead and create a mode called "Night Out", when I'm out for the evening is when I need my battery to last the longest, so I can create a mode to make sure I have a battery left by the time I get home.
Here, you can change all sorts of things like WiFi being enabled or disabled and basically turn none-essential things off and adjust the brightness as well. These profiles are a nice idea and giving users some sort of control over what happens to their device is an important thing to see offered with DU Battery Saver.
There's more to DU Battery Saver with the ability to monitor what happens on your device with the Monitor tab, a nice way of seeing which apps are using the lion's share of your battery.
You're also given a notification that lets you see your battery life in percentage all the time and more info when you pull down your notification tray.
I've always been skeptical about battery saving apps, and DU Battery Saver isn't about to change that. However, I can definitely see some value here. If battery life is an important aspect of your experience and you need to get the most out of your device, then this is a decent option. I don't agree with the one-touch optimization tool because, as far as I can make out, there's nothing done here beyond killing running apps. Outside of that though, and there are some genuinely useful features, like the ability to create custom profiles for different scenarios and times of day. For me, I want a profile that makes the most of my battery life when I'm out for the evening, but others might have one for when they're staying somewhere overnight without access to a charger, or a long day on the road meeting with clients or whatever. The great thing about the profile feature, is that you can create a mode for you and several of them for different situations. Being able to get advice on charging your device properly and which apps are eating up the battery life on your device is also great for average users who might not know this sort of stuff.
Speed (4/5) - A smooth app that runs nice and quickly, there's never any waiting around with this.
Features (5/5) - With every box you could want ticked for a battery saving app, DU Battery Saver offers users excellent value and many features to keep their battery ticking all day and then some.
Theme (4/5) - A good-looking app, DU Battery Saver is a unique themed battery app that looks the part.
Overall (4/5) - DU Battery Saver is a solid app, and while I don't agree with just killing apps to save battery, there are many other features here that make this an excellent app to have installed on your smartphone.
Easy to use, even for average users that don't fully understand the technicalities of Battery Life on Android.
DU Battery Saver offers great value for users looking to make the most of their battery life and can help educate users on which apps are the most power hungry.
Saver modes are fully customizable and make for a great way of extending your battery life on your terms.
Looks good and has a simple interface that's easy to navigate.
Killing apps doesn't really do much for battery life in the long run, as they're only going to reopen.
A battery saving mode that adapts to your regular usage would be truly helpful for average users.
With the vast amount of battery savers already available on the Play Store, it's no surprise that DU Battery Saver is so popular. It offers many features other apps don't and it looks the part as well. From a respected Android developer, this is an app that everyone looking to make the most out of their battery life and I really liked features such as the customizable modes to build a battery saver mode to suit your usage during different times of day and scenarios. All-in-all, this is an app that offers great value and it's easy to see why it's been downloaded so many times since its release.
