The Brahmaputra which is flowing East to West through the plains of Assam is one of the mightiest rivers of the world. Meandering through the plains it creats innumerable 'Chars' perticularly in its lower part in the district of Kamrup, Nalbari, Barpeta,Bongaigaon, Goalpara and Dhubri. There are a large no.'Chars'of while most of them are temporary, some are permanent also. These are the abode of the Muslims peasants who struggle persistently with the fury of nature. At the same time they have also to constantly face the problem of large-scale erosion of the Brahmaputra. Erosion usually takes place when water of the Brahmaputra recedes during the month of Octobor andNovember. The fury of the Brahaputra particularly when it erodes its bank can not be understood well if one does not see it personally. Erosion washes away mercilessly standing crops, houses, valuable trees and sometime domestic live stock like cows, buffalos, goats, sheeps etc.
The ersion havoc of the Brahmaputra has become more devastating in scale perticularly after the great earthquake of 1950. A part of Dibrugarh town(Assam) was washed away in 1950 by erosion . In 1954, Palashbari a commercial place of Assam was completely washed away. Between 1950-1964, part of Goalpara town was sub-merged in the Brahmaputra due to erosion. Similarly erosion effected Dhubri town also. But the scale of devastation was much more in the rural areas than in the town areas because in case of the latter some measures are taken by the Govt. to control erosion. However no such measure is taken in the case of village. The data computed during the period 1964 and 1969, revealed that on an average 253 villages and 8091 hectares of farmland are being washed away by the Brahmaputra.
After independence, erosion completely washed way several thousand villages of the Brahmaputra banks from 'Sadia to Sukchar'. The majuli the largest river island of the world is severaly affected by erosion. Between 1950 and 1988 a large no. of villages of Kamrup, Nalbari and Barpeta district were under erosion. Barpeta is one of the worst affected districts of Assam by erosion. Although official reports are not available, it has been unofficially assesed that from Hajo to Moinbori in the district of barpeta 150 villages have been completely washed away and many villages were partially washed away. In the district Barpeta the area from the villege Chanpur, Kalampur, Sonapur, Alipur, Rosulpur, Roumari, Chenimari, Chenglidia, Balidhari and many villages are completely under Brahmaputra Now. In 1959, the Tarabari market was completely by erosion. The villages to the west and south of Tarabari were completely washed away. The no. affected people would be not less than 2 lakhs.

The incoming club and committee leaders have now been identified. For the next six months, focus and implement your plans to continue to unite, give and grow and make a positive difference in our communities and around the world.

23 March 2018 – Bolton down the hatches
This is McNuts
America's worst nightmare came true yesterday when we learned national security security advisor Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster is leaving. Replacing him will the be the mustachioed and verbally abusive asshole John Bolton who embarrassed the country as George W. Bush's U.N. ambassador. Now that Rex Tillerson has been replaced with Mike Pompeo, the White House has filled up its security team with warmonger blowhards. Evidently the White House thinks this will scare N. Korea into submission when it has its meeting with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un later this year. Reports of how that meeting went will soon follow.
The National Security Advisor is supposed to provide advice and oversee the National Security Council ensuring the White House gets a well rounded view from all sides and given a fair hearing, both skills Bolton sorely lacks. Bolton, who still thinks invading Iraq was a good move believes bombing is the solution to everything whether its conventional bombing in Iran or nuking North Korea. Why he was picked is testimony to a string of poor White House decisions because Bolton has never been right and is just as consistent in attacking anyone who disagrees with him.
Fear not good people, Defense Secretary James Mattis will not suffer White House fools and their childish ways.
Guess who Dowd out?
Lead criminal lawyer John Dowd resigned evidently exhausted of having his advice constantly ignored. This apparently completes the removal of anyone guilty of telling Trump something he didn't want to hear and now he claims he's liberated and will start running the White House like his company, which would be into the ground. He's also considering throwing Ty Cobb out because he's tired of hearing Mueller's investigation is almost over, which was an attempt by Cobb to keep Donnie's smudgy little fingers from blowing up Twitter with adolescent adages.
Dowd had advised to be less aggressive towards Mueller and also thought it was a bad idea for dotard to sit down with Mueller. That really didn't make sense since the alternative would be to testify under oath. and still feel like he could mean-talk Mueller on Twitter.
The House of Cards Intelligence Committee finally crumbled
The Republicans on the House Intelligence committee released a summary of their forthcoming report on Russia's election tampering which pretty much states the White House walks on water and is innocent of anything past, present and future. On a side note, the Surgeon General had to be called in to pull Devin Nunes' head out of Donald's derriere.
Trump Trade War Tanks Market
The White House announcement calling for $50 billion worth of tariffs on Chinese Imports sent the Dow tumbling 700 points leaving conservatives trying to blame the fall on the budget bill. In short, nobody wins, everybody loses and all the Tweets in the world can't fix it.
Meanwhile the administration added four more countries to the "Exempt List" from having to pay the import tariffs as Australia, Argentina, Brazil and South Korea joined the European Union, Canada and Mexico. Didn't this whole tariff thing start out as there would be no exceptions?
The Senate Slides Past a Shutdown
Early this morning the Senate passed the $1.3T omnibus spending package despite last minute theatrics by frustrated thespian Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky.
Mr. Zuckerberg goes to Washington
The House Energy and Commerce Committee will be first to question Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg about the data it gave to Cambridge Analytica that was used by the Trump campaign to target Facebook users. The Democrats wanted to hold their own hearing but Republicans voted that down and instead voted to end their Russian investigation. All this after Zuckerberg admitted a more regulated Facebook might be a good thing.
Wisconsin GOP Governor's Hands Slapped Again

John Bolton worked with Cambridge Analytica on YouTube voter experiment
Trump's new national security adviser appeared in videos for experiment targeting videos to different 'psychographic' profiles
Donald Trump's new national security adviser John Bolton collaborated with the data analytics firm Cambridge Analytica on an experiment to target YouTube videos to different "psychographic" profiles of US voters, the Guardian can reveal.
Who is John Bolton, Trump's new national security adviser?
The project, to explore how different types of political campaign ads would resonate with an electorate divided into different personality types, involved Bolton appearing, on-screen, endorsing candidates in New Hampshire, North Carolina and Arkansas in the run-up to the 2014 midterms.
Details of the project are contained in emails obtained in the Guardian. They shed light on an earlier report published on Friday in the New York Times, which identified Bolton, who was appointed by Trump on Thursday, as an early beneficiary of Cambridge Analytica's controversial Facebook data.
In an email about the 2014 collaboration with the John Bolton Super Pac, Robert Murtfeld, a Cambridge Analytica executive, described the video project as having "used our psychographic data to create ads targeting people based on their personalities".
Bolton, a national security hawk, adopts significantly different tones in the videos, depending on the personalities of the voters the videos were targeted at. The voters were partitioned according to personality analysis conducted by Cambridge Analytica.
"This was the first real results that we had, where you could say: this works," one source with knowledge of the video-testing said. "You could see the difference between a control group and our targeted messaging, and the uplift was huge."
The company has long claimed to be able to divide voters according to the "Big Five" psychological traits – openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness and neuroticism – and the experiment reveals how the company seeks to do that that.
"This ad targets people high in neuroticism, who tend to be anxious and to see the world as a dangerous place," Murtfield says in the email, linking to an ad which opens with Bolton looking at the camera saying "terrorists love porous borders".
@Crank Bait: Start writing 'em and I'll throw them in.

Needs more puns.
And more evil character theme music.
Man, no sooner do I post this and I see breaking news Trump may not sign the budget bill because it wasn't tough enough on immigration!

After some thorough human testing, this is our TLT (Tempeh, Lettuce, Tomato) for the #westmidlandsveganfestival this weekend. #beetthesystem will be outside the Wolverhampton Civic Hall serving lots of our Organic Fresh Tempeh in sandwiches like this. #FreshTempeh is completely different in taste from commercial Tempeh. In fact lots of people who don't like commercial Tempeh love our fresh nutty Tempeh. Our TLT is made with our sweet, smoky Tamari on a bed of our special tomato sauce. Then we've got some smoky coconut bacon on avocado. Topped with our own cashew, tofu mayo and some lettuce and rocket. All served in a delicious pretzel bun. BOOM!

Peaceful exchange of power takes place as Trump prepares to take oath of office by shaking Obama's hand.
President Obama shakes hands with President Trump on stage at inauguration. Roy Lewis/Trice Edney News Wire
(TriceEdneyWire.com) – President Donald J. Trump was sworn in as the 45th President of the United States Jan. 20, during a peaceful exchange of powers with America's first Black President Barack Obama. Trump assured a unified America despite never apologizing for leading one of the most hate-filled campaigns in recent history.
"We, the citizens of America, are now joined in a great national effort to rebuild our country and to restore its promise for all of our people. Together, we will determine the course of America and the world for years to come," Trump told the crowd. The Bible tells us, 'How good and pleasant it is when God's people live together in unity.' We must speak our minds openly, debate our disagreements honestly, but always pursue solidarity. When America is united, America is totally unstoppable."
The speech was met with applause and chants of "Trump! Trump! Trump!" by the vastly White audience – a reversal from the two inaugurations of eight and four years ago, when throngs of Black people packed in to witness the historic inaugurations of President Obama. The Trump inauguration, though well attended with crowds stretching from the steps of the U. S. Capitol back to the Washington Monument, did not draw as many people as the Obama inauguration, based on close observations of the crowd by this reporter and Black press photographers who attended all three ceremonies.
More than 60 Democratic members of Congress decided to skip the inauguration; including Black Caucus members U. S. Reps. John Lewis (D-Ga.) and Barbara Lee (D-Calif.). Lewis contends he does not see Trump as a legitimate president given the involvement of Russian email hacking in order to help him get elected, according to confirmation by intelligence agencies. Lee and others refused to attend because of protest for Trump's vitriolic conduct during the election.
Still President Obama had promised a "peaceful exchange of powers", a tenet of American democracy. Presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush, were also in attendance with their wives. Former First Lady, Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who battled Trump vigorously to win the presidency, smiled a lot and appeared stately during the procession and ceremony.
"Every four years, we gather on these steps to carry out the orderly and peaceful transfer of power, and we are grateful to President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama for their gracious aid throughout this transition. They have been magnificent," Trump said. He repeated promised to "make America first" in his proposed national and international policies, legislations and executive orders. He also promised to uplift "inner cities", a well-known euphemism for the Black community.
"Americans want great schools for their children, safe neighborhoods for their families, and good jobs for themselves. These are the just and reasonable demands of a righteous public," Trump said. "But for too many of our citizens, a different reality exists: Mothers and children trapped in poverty in our inner cities; rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones across the landscape of our nation; an education system, flush with cash, but which leaves our young and beautiful students deprived of knowledge; and the crime and gangs and drugs that have stolen too many lives and robbed our country of so much unrealized potential. This American carnage stops right here and stops right now. We are one nation – and their pain is our pain. Their dreams are our dreams; and their success will be our success. We share one heart, one home, and one glorious destiny."
Trump's words are lofty, but his actions have not matched what he has said. So far, he has nominated an all-White cabinet; except Dr. Ben Carson who will head the Department of Housing and Urban Development. He has also appointed former White supremacist advocate Steve Bannon as a top advisor and nominated former Klan sympathizer Sen. Jeff Sessions as attorney general. He has appointed Omarosa Manigault to assist him with public liaison, but it remains to be seen what will come from a meeting she and other aids had with Black organizational representatives.
Meanwhile on Saturday, the day after the inauguration, more than a million women packed the streets of Washington and other major cities around the U. S. making demands on a string of key issues important to women, Blacks and other minorities. Civil rights leaders have taken a wait and see posture while putting pressure on the Trump administration through protest.
Led by Rev. Al Sharpton, they started that pressure during a march one week before the inauguration. On Inauguration Day, National Urban League President/CEO Marc Morial emailed a statement essentially promising to continue marching to correct social ills that were prevalent 50 years ago.
"My own predecessor as head of the National Urban League, the legendary Whitney M. Young, was one of the organizers of that march and delivered his own stirring speech that day. He spoke of the need for Black Americans to do "some more marching:" …from dangerous ghettos to safe, unrestricted neighborhoods…from poverty wages to skilled, family-sustaining jobs…from the cemeteries of early graves to health centers from overcrowded, inadequate classrooms to fully-equipped, professionally staffed and integrated schools," wrote Morial. "And there we were, marching for those same things a half-century later, marching under the motto, "We shall not be moved."

A 100-bed skilled nursing facility in the affluent northern Georgia town of Ellijay was purchased by a private Northeast-based group looking to expand their current Peach State presence. Being the only facility in an area with a growing number of retirees, this SNF was consistently well occupied above 90%. Plus, once the adjacent hospital relocated in 2016, this 50-year old facility was able to expand into much of the old building, adding more resident rooms, a senior day care center, new administrative offices and outpatient rehab. It also operated at a solid 14% margin; pretty good these days.
Its previous owner, Sunlink Health Systems Inc., was looking to redeploy capital and focus on its core business, prompting the sale. The purchase price came to $7.3 million, or $73,000 per bed, with the cap rate just surpassing 13%. Daniel Geraghty and Bradley Clousing of Senior Living Investment Brokerage handled the transaction.

Panama believers welcome 42 into the faith through partnerships
International Mission Board
International Mission Board, International News, Latest News, Missions
Sean and Shelley Blacksten (middle and second from left), IMB missionaries to Panama, talk to Icilda de Henry (left), president of La Unión Femenil Bautista Misionera Helen Stuart (Panama's WMU) and group member Lorna Murdok about the impact of the women's financial giving to the IMB. De Henry and Murdok share with the Blackstens that they are active in many Baptist churches and meet regularly. In 2020 and 2021, their meetings have been virtual due to COVID-19.

The pandemic provided an opportunity for believers in Panama to truly love their neighbors and show Christ's love through their actions.
Tim Louderback, who serves in Panama with the International Mission Board, said Christians picked up medicine and bought groceries for their non-Christian neighbors who were fearful or unable to leave their homes. Their acts of service led to many inroads to share the gospel.
Southern Baptist work in Panama through IMB missionaries Tim and Tina Louderback and Sean and Shelley Blacksten was highlighted during the 2021 Week of Prayer for International Missions. The two couples shared how U.S. churches were partnering in valuable ways on the ground, in addition to their prayer and financial support.
The most recent volunteer team from the U.S. came alongside believers from a Panamanian church plant. Louderback asked local Christians how they could be served, and they asked for help in scheduling appointments in the homes of their neighbors.
"People were open to it because they were really isolated and not leaving their homes — not going to the grocery stores themselves or picking up medicine — so we were able to have one-on-one meetings in homes," Louderback said.
Hearts opening
In one week alone, 42 people committed their lives to Christ.
"We've never had that happen before since we've been here," Louderback said. "We are now discipling those individuals, baptizing those individuals."
Louderback said the way believers showed love to their neighbors during the pandemic led to hearts opening to Christ.
In the first half of 2022, Louderback and his fellow IMB missionaries will host at least 20 churches on short-term trips.
Pray more will follow
Panamanian churches are also seeing opportunities for continued growth through English as a Second Language classes and hosting English clubs on university campuses.
Join Louderback and Panamanian Christians in praying for the 42 new believers as they grow in their faith. Pray more would follow in their footsteps.

Home Uncategorized A Bigger Congregation for the Food Sermon
A Bigger Congregation for the Food Sermon
Until he reopens for regular business, Rawlston Williams is catering out of his Navy Yard kitchen. Photo: Malike Sidibe
In February, six weeks before COVID-19 forced the city to shut down, Rawlston Williams moved his Crown Heights Caribbean restaurant, the Food Sermon, to the Brooklyn Navy Yard. We spoke to him by phone at the new space, where he's been doing catering jobs while gearing up to reopen in mid-July.
How did you end up in the new food hall at Building 77?
The Navy Yard approached us with a handwritten note and on Instagram, but I totally ignored them. Then I got an email from the City Council: "Hey, Rawlston, please give us a call. We have an opportunity for you." I thought they wanted me to cook breakfast or something. I called expecting a catering order, and they were like, "Hey, the Navy Yard has been trying to reach you." I got off the phone, and I called my brother. "Isn't this crazy? They're hawking real estate out of the City Council!"
Why were you initially so resistant?
Before I went to culinary school, I studied theology. Having restaurants was never my dream. The Rogers Avenue location was initially a catering kitchen. We started getting a bunch of press and being popular, and people came in expecting to sit. So I adjusted the kitchen—made it smaller, moved the counter back, brought in a couple more chairs so people could sit, which I did not want at all.
What changed your mind?
My brother said, "Just call and see." We met with them, and as we're leaving and driving home, I told him, "I think they made a mistake." This kind of thing doesn't happen to us. It was a shock — City Council, Navy Yard, 1,200-square-foot kitchen where I could do catering and retail and manufacture my hot sauce as well.
How did the opening go?
It was never, ever, a soft opening—from day one, it was busy all the way. We hadn't even started doing delivery. Building 77 is 16 stories; I had a built-in customer base. I was marveling at the fact that I was making about two and a half times the amount of money just at lunch alone as I was at Rogers.
Why did you change to a fast-casual, counter-service format and close the original Food Sermon?
It was really obvious that we needed to pivot. I needed more volume. I needed to be able to churn things out quicker. On Rogers, it was kind of like going to grandma's house and getting your food plated and just hanging out. Here, the food quality is the same, and it's made every day, but we're not making it to order. You pick your base — brown rice, white rice, or salad — and then you pick your protein, two sides, and a sauce. Almost like a Chipotle vibe. Everything is to go.
How did your old customers react?
Some people would say, "Well, you sold out," or "You changed," or what have you. It stung a little bit because we care a lot. But, you know, either I did this this way or the business would have died. More people are responding positively than are not.
You're still closed, but with your new format and no seating, you could have stayed open for takeout and delivery. Why didn't you?
When COVID happened, I had to look at my employees and realize that they're traveling into work every day. We have one employee who has two kids, one has three, one has four. What are we doing by keeping them coming here? That one day, March 16, our register was down to $300. So I was, like, okay, is it worth doing all this with everyone risking probable exposure? We were allowed to stay open, but for me, just because it's allowed doesn't mean it's right. And I didn't quite understand the whole contactless-delivery thing: How is it contactless? You're handing it to a gentleman who might take the virus seriously or he might not; he might use gloves or he might not.
Has the pandemic affected you personally?
I lost about five people. One was my godfather. He reached out; he knew he was gonna go. The landscape has changed. It felt like the world was ending. Nothing really has that much weight except the way you connect with each other. That's all you have—almost like you're making a stew and you get rid of all the excess water and now it's boiled down to the essence of what it is.
How have you spent your time off during the shutdown?
Well, when I'm not too depressed with all that's happening, I've been working on my book. Phaidon has these cooking bibles — Japan, America, Nordic, the Cuba book, the Mexico book. I'm doing the Caribbean version.
You moved from St. Vincent and the Grenadines to East Flatbush when you were 10 years old.
I came to Brooklyn in September 1987, the height of the crack and AIDS epidemics. My first experience with segregation was in fifth grade, when Haitians were put in different classes. There was a Haitian Creole–speaking class. If you were from Russia, even if you didn't speak a lick of English, you were put into the mainstream class and you'd figure it out as you went. It didn't make any sense to me.
And as you got older?
For me, being from the Caribbean, it's been an educational experience. Growing up, I never really saw race. We more saw class. I never really realized I was a Black man until I came to America. Here, maybe I was experiencing racism, but I never paid attention to it because it wasn't something I was looking for. My eyes weren't trained for it. There's that nursery rhyme: "Pussycat, pussycat, where have you been? / I've been to London to visit the queen." In London, you have Buckingham Palace, you have Big Ben, all those things. But what did the pussycat see? It saw a mouse under the chair because that's what they look for. It doesn't matter where the pussycat would be; he would always look for mice, right? As a kid, I remember going through Lord & Taylor and my buddy would say, "Hey, they're following us." I'd be like, "Who's following us?" "The attendants are following us like we're about to steal something." And I never saw it, but he would be so angry. And as time went on, my eyes started getting keen toward it. Or even when someone came into the Rogers location and they were like, "Oh, Black-owned!," because initially everyone thought that we just worked there. It took me a little while to really get it: Oh, yeah! I am Black, and I do own the place. Now I see the significance of it.
Which is what, exactly?
A lot of what we do has often been overlooked. Even when it comes to having a Caribbean cookbook: In my mind, I'm like, Okay, they love to eat the food, but they don't like to talk about it. They don't like to write about it. It never gets a lot of press. Some of the food and the way that it's done in tradition — it's not a pretty food. It's not glamorous. You're using ends of this or backs of that. We're using the ingredients that possibly would have been discarded by your slave owner or your occupier or whatever. Now you've used that and turned it into something delicious. It's not our fault that an oxtail or the back of a chicken is not a pretty-looking thing. But it's tasty, right?
With the recent Black Lives Matter protests, do you envision things changing?
I am somewhat optimistic that we will all recognize that some of the systems that we have set up are really just props or kickstands to make us feel like we're upright, but when held up to scrutiny, they fail. I'd always felt like protesting is a waste of time. It's like going down into the basement and punching a punching bag. It's a way to vent, you know? I never really saw a real change because I always saw with every protest that the cop or the person that did wrong still got off. As Black people, we always lose. That's another reason why, even when the Navy Yard was calling us, I kept saying, This kind of stuff doesn't happen to Black people, so I'm not going to even bother. Why are they calling me just to waste my time? I'm always waiting for someone to pull the rug out and be like, "Haha! Joke's on you."
But this time feels different?
Oh, yeah. This is different. It's undeniable. It doesn't seem like anyone can control it; you can't turn the volume down. All the other times, it seemed as though you could come up with a distraction and turn the volume down. Here, you can't. It's like we're at a crescendo of everything: the pandemic, and the killing of Mr. Floyd, and who we have as a leader and the climate that that's created. It's an ulcer that's just going to rupture. People say the system is broken. No. I think it's operating the way it was set up. It's not broken. We kind of need to break it.

Hahaha I'm so unsingle but I think the whole point of Single's Day is to celebrate individuality and independence! Which I fully support!!!
Any excuse to go shopping is a good excuse. $11 off your order with any SALE item! So if your sale item is $20, you only pay $9. Wuttttt only for today!
Sort of felt like a single though on Fish's hens night! Hahahaha.
I'm excited for Fish to join me on the married side on 5th December! Just three weeks away. Yayyyyy!
I'm really looking forward to December 🙌🏻 USAAAAAA!!!!! But before that, Thailand again this year but somewhere different!
Quite worried about coming back from USA looking like a ball of fats because I'm gonna be there for three weeks. I just need to put on 1kg a week to come back 3kg heavier. NOooooo!!!
Sissy just sent me a funny snapchat of my fatty gearing up all her fats to jump onto my sister's (platform) bed 😂 My dogs are so cute.
Back to my USA trip… I'm gonna be in Washington, then Lake Placid (skiing!!!) then Boston and finally NYC!!!
It's my very first time to the US and I'm majorly excited. The first half of my trip will be mostly performing and singing with my choir in Washington DC, before we start holidaying!
I would be so thrilled to know any recommendations you might have for any of these places! 😁 Eat/shop/play, anything. I'm so new to USA and I haven't done any research!
Making sure to cut down on my unhealthy foods intake now for the next three weeks (trying to go carbless) so that I have some allowance in USA. Everyone's been telling me that they ate burgers all day long in the US and that the portions are monstrous.

Vojin and Haven
Pushing the screen door open with one hand, his face broke out in a giant smile when he saw his grandfather. "There you are, Iba't', I've been looking for you everywhere!" Haven exclaimed, throwing himself into his grandfather's arms.
"Bakincbi!" Vojin caught Haven in midair, using the Caddo word for grandson to welcome him. Listening to him as he started to talk eagerly, he pulled the bouncing little boy up and into his lap. "You looked everywhere and still, here I was all along." He smiled down at the happy boy.
"Iba't', will you tell me about the wolf and the eagle. The whooooole story, please, Iba't'," Haven said, giving his grandfather a pleading look.
Zacharias, Haven's dad let out a soft chuckle, patting his own father on the shoulder. "I'll leave you both to it, then." Rising, he cupped the side of Haven's face, giving him a kiss on the top of his head before slowly moving toward the screen door.
"That's a long story, Haven. You sure you're up for it? Or I could just tell you the short version if you're too tired?" Zacharias stopped for a moment to listen as two of the most important people in his life talked among themselves. Haven was so caught up in talking to his grandfather, he didn't notice him leaving. Zacharias laughed to himself as he listened to his father tease Haven, it was a wonderful thing to see. The decision to move back home, where he himself had grown up had been the best thing for all their sakes. How could he ever had deprived his boy of having this daily connection to his grandparents?
"No! No! The whole story, Iba't'. I want to hear about the Fenrir Ulv and the Asa Gods too." He practically bounced in Vojin's lap.
He raised his hands in the air in mock surrender, making Haven giggle. "Okay! Okay! I give up. You convinced me. I'll tell you the whole story about the King of Wolves and the Asa Gods that want him caught." Vojin laughed.
"And the eagle," Haven prompted. He loved the part about the eagle—it was his spirit animal after all.
"Of course, the eagle is very, very important. I'd never forget him," Vojin said seriously as he pulled Haven closer into his arms. Haven looked at his grandfather with huge eyes, then shifted in his lap once more, getting comfortable and started to play with a long strand of his hair.
"The legend about how the King of Wolves and his Protector, the eagle started in a world beyond this one. The Fenrir Ulv, who was one of Loki's five children, had been caught. The Asa Gods had chained him outside the gates of Valhalla. To keep him from escaping, they used chains made from the roots of trees that grew in the giant's caves. It was so strong that not even the Fenrir Ulv could pull free.
"But, Iba't', why did they hate the Fenrir Ulv so much?" Haven frowned, folding his arms across his chest. He didn't like the Asa Gods being so mean to the poor wolf.
"Well, the Fenrir Ulv was not always very kind. Like his father, he was a trickster and sometimes he didn't do nice things. But this time, the Fenrir Ulv was not to blame, but his father Loki was. However, Asa Gods didn't care and wouldn't listen. To keep him from howling and snapping his teeth at them, they shoved a large sword through his giant jaws. What they didn't know, was that they'd slowly started to kill him—his body was dying but not his spirit. But the trick for the Fenrir Ulv was to change from his wolf body into a wolfman, because it was the only form that would allow his spirit to escape his body."
"A wolfman!" Haven whispered. His eyes grew bigger, mesmerized by the story.
Vojin chuckled, nodding his head in agreement.
"Yes, you're right, Bakincbi, a wolfman. The next day as the Fenrir Ulv's keepers came to feed and water him, they were stunned to find the wolf gone and this giant, two-legged wolfman in its place. In fear of what the Fenrir Ulv had become, they started stabbing his body with knives to kill him once and for all. That was how his wolf spirit escaped, and without the Asa Gods knowing he escaped to earth to possess a human body to live in. To fool them even more, and make it harder to find him, he decided to spread his seed by procreating with human females. That way, he'd no longer be the only living creature capable of turning into a wolf."
"Iba't', what is procreate?" Haven stumbled over the difficult word, looking to his grandfather for the answer.
"Procreate—means to have children, to make sure of the existence of the race," Vojin explained, taking a deep breath to continue with the story.
"Reid said that to have babies, a boy has to put his willy into a girls yoohoo." Haven gave his grandfather a dreadful look, his lip almost quivering at the thought. "I don't ever want to do that with a girl, they're yucky. Do I have to?"
Vojin had to bite the inside of his cheek to stop himself laughing. He made a mental note to talk to Reid about what talks to have and not have with Haven or his brother for that matter.
"No, Bakincbi, you don't have to. No one can force you to be with anyone you don't love, and not everyone has children."
"Oh, but I want children, Iba't'. I just don't want them with a girl," Haven explained with confidence.
Vojin smiled, patting Haven's cheek, looking into his grandson's eyes, like he knew something no one else did.
"You can have as many children as you like, with anyone you like," Vojin assured him.
Haven let out a relieved sigh, relaxing back into his grandfather's embrace.
Coleman, Eddy and David
"So what are we doing?" Eddy said, covering his mouth with a hand as he yawned. "If y'all dragged me up at the ass crack of dawn to stare at houses, I'm kicking your asses." He eyed them suspiciously. Eddy was sharp and nothing went by him. He knew everything—no matter if you wanted him to or not. If he didn't know, he had the people skills that Coleman lacked to charm it out of you. He was cunning like a fox and ferocious like a lion which lead him to know exactly how to make people do as he pleased.
Eddy was a short guy at only five-feet-eight-inches but that didn't fool you for long. His aura demanded respect, and when he entered a room, people would shut up just to listen to what he had to say. A beta wolf to the bone. But beta or not, they'd always tease him about being a rancher and hating early mornings because there was never not an early morning in this business.
"We were waiting for your sorry ass to finally show up, and what do you know, here he is, Caddo Pack's finest. No star covered pj's this morning?" David drawled, smacking his lips contently, finding himself to be very funny. The incident that led Eddy to been caught in navy-blue sleeping pants covered in bright yellow stars a few years back had been something no one had ever let him live down and probably never would. Being who he was, though, he took the teasing in his stride.
"Pffft... This sorry ass is what keeps both of yours out of trouble when whatever recent masterplan the two of you have cooked up over a smoke break goes to shit." Eddy snorted, bringing his own cup of tea to his lips. There was no heat to his words. If you happened to have missed the teasing tone in his voice; the gleam in his eyes sure as hell gave him away.
"What the hell is this?" David asked, as he tugged at the little teabag string hanging over Eddy's mug.
"Don't start," Eddy said, giving David the evil eye. He didn't drink coffee, regular tea or alcohol for that matter. He refused to pump his body full of poison. Once in a while when the mood struck him, he'd treat himself to the occasional beer. Most of the time, he'd stick to ecological teas or club soda. His body was his temple, damn it, and no one would ever be able to convince him to do it any differently.
"How can you drink that stuff?" David's body made an involuntary shudder as he watched Eddy take another sip. "It tasted of nothing, better cow shit."
"I didn't know you had the habit of drinking cow shit, Sheriff, but it sure does explain the bullshit that pours out of your mouth." Eddy grinned, wagging his brows as Coleman barked out a loud laugh.
"Asshole!" David glared at him, hating having given him that freebie.
"The stuff you two pour into your bodies in gallons is pure poison."
David made a huge scene out of drinking the last of his coffee.
"Yeah, caffeine, the gift of the Gods. Alpha, do you think we could get this in IV form, to get it to last longer?" David snickered. "We might have to tie your beta down for that procedure but we'll have him hooked up in no time. Just leave the dirty work to me."
Coleman chuckled, watching them bicker. He just bet the huge enforcer wouldn't mind tying Eddy up, he knew all about his enforcers extracurricular activities. There was more than one reason why David Jones was a man of authority in both the human and shifter world. There were only two people he would bend for and those men were standing next to him.
"So, it's looking good, Alpha." Eddy nodded toward the building. "Have you told Alex yet?"
"No, I want it to be a surprise for him when he comes home." Coleman couldn't help the wide grin that spread across his face. His youngest son was coming home for good, and he just couldn't wait. Big things were waiting for him. "Speaking of Alex, that's why we're all here. Vojin is telling me the Fenrir Ulv spirit is restless and getting impatient. We agreed, it probably has to do with Alex coming home."
"Is there any precautions we need to take in regards to that?" Eddy asked, all teasing humor now gone. All three men were focused on the current conversation.
"In regards to Alex coming home, no, but the fact that he'll be back here, yes. Vojin says, him returning to his birthplace and to the place it all started, he should be aware this might cause enemies to arrive."
"The Asa Guard?" David instantly whispered.
"Yes. They'll come for Alex or rather the Fenrir Ulv to prevent him from becoming one with him. According to Vojin, the Asa Guard had strict rules about harming humans, shifters or not. Apparently they don't want the vessel, just the Fenrir Ulv, but I don't believe that for a minute."
"Like they'd let Alex go if they failed to capture the Fenrir spirit, not likely. I agree, Alpha, we need to keep Alex safe before his union with the Fenrir, and after."
"He needs protection, one of us should be with him at all times. Is he prepared for this change of having someone guard him?" said David.
Eddy nodded, finishing his cup of tea. "Speaking of which, where is this eagle of his anyway? Wasn't this supposed to be his job?"
"Yes. I've talked to him about it but I'm sure he'll bring it up again because he wasn't happy. I had to pull the dad card on this one."
David whistled a long, low sound, and Eddy made an oohing noise.
"Oh, shut up, both of you." Coleman chuckled. "And as for the eagle—it's where Alex is—which is now on the road, somewhere between Chicago and here."
"Should he really be traveling on his own if the Guard are out to get him? Want me to go meet up with him and bring him home?" David offered sincerely.
Coleman smiled, placing a hand on his shoulder.
"You're a good man, David. Trust me, I want to say yes but I promised Alex not to. I need to keep that promise if I'm going to have any leeway with him when he's back home. He should be safe for now, and he has promised to check in every couple hours."
"Damn kids," muttered David. "Always got to do the whole independent thing, can't listen for shit."
"I still don't get how a bird is going to protect him from the Asa Guard," Eddy said, rubbing his jaw as if deep in thought, trying to figure it out.
Coleman watched them silently, pondering what to tell them.
"I know that look. You know something, don't you!" David said it more as a statement than a question. "Spill. Whatever it is, we can deal with it together but don't you fucking hold out on us now."
"It's only a suspicion but I can't see how it could be any other way. Too many things seem coincidental for it to just be that." He took a deep breath, watching Eddy and David, as they stared at him.
"Oh for the love of God, just spit it out already!" David hustled him. Patience had never been his strong suit.
Raising an eyebrow, Coleman gave him a look as if to say, really, you're demanding things from me?
With a remorseful look in his eyes, David lowered his gaze and bared his neck to his alpha, silently saying he was sorry.
"I think Haven is connected to this."
"What?" Eddy and David both said in unison.
"Haven's spirit animal is the eagle."
He didn't say anything else, but gave them a minute to take in. It didn't take long before their faces started to change. First, there was the flicker of confusion, that seconds later became understanding of his words. Large eyes met his, as they understood what it was he'd actually said.
"Are you saying that Haven's a shifter?" Eddy asked, trying to keep his question neutral and calm. But his eyes were focused solely on Coleman, waiting patiently to hear his answer.
Coleman couldn't blame him for getting stressed. Hell, who wasn't stressed over that fact? Haven as a shifter would be like having to tell Superman he needed to eat kryptonite to survive. Haven hated shifters—especially wolf shifters—for obvious reasons. His track record with shifters wasn't particularly good. He knew of their existence because he was Vojin's grandson but that didn't mean he had to like it. Having to tell him about them was going to be hard enough, but telling him he was also one… Coleman wasn't sure he'd be able to handle it.
"No. He isn't a shifter, yet."
They gave him a confused look.
"Oh, don't give me that look. I just know it makes sense. Think about it. His spirit animal is the eagle. Vojin has been telling him that story about the wolf and the eagle for decades. Considering that, I'm pretty certain Alex will come home claiming Haven as his true mate." Coleman became quiet and shrugged. What else was there to say?
"Well, that part wasn't a surprise," Eddy said.
"Vojin must have something to say about this." David rubbed a hand over his jaw, eyes watching Coleman intensely, waiting for any type of bad reaction.
"He doesn't confirm or deny my theory. He just tells me that some stones are best left unturned, till the carrier of the fate has made up their mind what road to take."
"What the hell does that mean?" David threw his hands in the air. He was the first to admit that sometimes Vojin's guessing game answers pissed him off.
"He's saying Haven hasn't made up his mind what road he's going to take yet, so his fate is yet to be decided," Eddy said calmly, holding Coleman's stare, knowing this was what had his alpha so concerned. "Alpha, we'll get Haven on track. Alex will bring him around if he's his true mate. He won't give up until he complies." Eddy grinned, calmness oozing from his pores, washing over them all like a soft quilt.
"Wouldn't that be the weirdest turn of fate, if this turns out to be true?" David said, scratching the back of his neck, snorting loudly, seeing the reaction it would bring in front of him.
"If this is his fate, then we have to go with it and believe the spirits know what they're doing. Haven has reasons for his hate but he's not weak. He's one of the strongest people I know, and he needs recognition for that. Haven's a good kid." They all looked at each other, and started laughing. "Fine, and a huge pain in the ass but until we know more, let's just keep this on the down low."
"I'm with the tea snob, here," David pointed at Eddy but looked at Coleman the entire time. "We can sort Haven out if all this comes to be true. We'll make sure Alex and he get their shit together, fuck like bunnies to get that mated bond sorted, and then live happily ever after. I'll tie the fucker down if I have too, and you know how good I am with rope."
"Jesus Christ, David, paint me a picture, why don't you?" Coleman groaned, rubbing a hand over his face.

US Is an Oligarchy Not a Democracy, says Scientific Study — By Eric Zuesse | Information Clearing House

US Is an Oligarchy Not a Democracy, says Scientific Study
By Eric Zuesse
April 14, 2014 "ICH" – "CD" – A study, to appear in the Fall 2014 issue of the academic journal Perspectives on Politics, finds that the U.S. is no democracy, but instead an oligarchy, meaning profoundly corrupt, so that the answer to the study's opening question, "Who governs? Who really rules?" in this country, is:
"Despite the seemingly strong empirical support in previous studies for theories of majoritarian democracy, our analyses suggest that majorities of the American public actually have little influence over the policies our government adopts. Americans do enjoy many features central to democratic governance, such as regular elections, freedom of speech and association, and a widespread (if still contested) franchise. But, …" and then they go on to say, it's not true, and that, "America's claims to being a democratic society are seriously threatened" by the findings in this, the first-ever comprehensive scientific study of the subject, which shows that there is instead "the nearly total failure of 'median voter' and other Majoritarian Electoral Democracy theories [of America]. When the preferences of economic elites and the stands of organized interest groups are controlled for, the preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy."
To put it short: The United States is no democracy, but actually an oligarchy.
The authors of this historically important study are Martin Gilens and Benjamin I. Page, and their article is titled "Testing Theories of American Politics." The authors clarify that the data available are probably under-representing the actual extent of control of the U.S. by the super-rich:
Economic Elite Domination theories do rather well in our analysis, even though our findings probably understate the political influence of elites. Our measure of the preferences of wealthy or elite Americans – though useful, and the best we could generate for a large set of policy cases – is probably less consistent with the relevant preferences than are our measures of the views of ordinary citizens or the alignments of engaged interest groups. Yet we found substantial estimated effects even when using this imperfect measure. The real-world impact of elites upon public policy may be still greater.
Nonetheless, this is the first-ever scientific study of the question of whether the U.S. is a democracy. "Until recently it has not been possible to test these contrasting theoretical predictions [that U.S. policymaking operates as a democracy, versus as an oligarchy, versus as some mixture of the two] against each other within a single statistical model. This paper reports on an effort to do so, using a unique data set that includes measures of the key variables for 1,779 policy issues." That's an enormous number of policy-issues studied.
What the authors are able to find, despite the deficiencies of the data, is important: the first-ever scientific analysis of whether the U.S. is a democracy, or is instead an oligarchy, or some combination of the two. The clear finding is that the U.S. is an oligarchy, no democratic country, at all. American democracy is a sham, no matter how much it's pumped by the oligarchs who run the country (and who control the nation's "news" media). The U.S., in other words, is basically similar to Russia or most other dubious "electoral" "democratic" countries. We weren't formerly, but we clearly are now. Today, after this exhaustive analysis of the data, "the preferences of the average American appear to have only a minuscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy." That's it, in a nutshell.

And now, for me, it's also about sharing a moment from mother to daughter, from daughter to granddaughter. When Aurora got her hands on the Barbie Camper that Mattel provided us with, I saw my childhood through my mother's eyes. I understood, in that moment, why Barbie became such a big part of my childhood. Aurora came alive and, with one Barbie and her camper, created such an intricately woven plot for her doll that was beyond anything I ever expected of a preschooler. Of course, there were lots of breaks in between the action ("She has to bake cupcakes", Aurora told me — the perfect use of a camper kitchen, if you ask me!), but seeing the creativity pour out of her was a completely different experience than when we have art time, or build things with blocks, or read together. Somehow, in that moment, I even felt closer to her — like somehow, our shared experiences suddenly became yet another bonding experience. While she had played with Barbies before — she's inherited both my mother's Barbies as well as mine for quite the family heirloom collection — it was some combination of the introduction of the camper and the fact she's now old enough to really use them that sparked such an amazing moment to see. Needless to say, the Barbie Camper is now Aurora's favourite toy in her entire hoard, and I'm looking forward to encouraging her to continue to play creatively as my mother once encouraged me.

It's been a busy couple of weeks here and since I'm feeling remiss for not blogging about the Occupy Wall Street protests that have been going on since Saturday September 17 in Zuccotti Park, NYC, here are two video reports on the situation.
It makes me proud to say that several hundred+ Americans are acting on their principles and though it's become quite novel these days for justice to triumph in America, it's way past time that the Bailouts of Big Banks become Jailouts.
Arrests and police brutality accompanied their peaceful demonstrations...and NY police 'corralled the Wall Street Bull'--to protect the statue from peaceful protestors, Americans to whom the sculptor Di Modica dedicated the beastly statue when it was installed in the middle of Broad Street on December 15, 1989!
How tragic that no one in authority has corralled the financial crooks of Wall Street to protect us from their bull.
And how interesting that the Pre-Natal Eclipse Series of the Bull's installation on December 15, 1989 is the 9 New South which repeated @ 19Virgo (not too far from US natal Neptune 22Vir25--Virgo, sign of Work and Employment) on *September 11, 2007 and is one background factor that timed the subprime mess leading to Financial Crash 2008.
Oh, and another thing: 9 New South is the Pre-Natal Eclipse Series of Fedhead Ben Bernanke and since eclipses are 'wild cards' of the Universe--able to change conditions in a flash--he might have been waiting patiently for that solar card to be laid on Wall Street's table.

The pulse of the Mediterranean!
Grants Block Stage / 250 Westminster St.
Newpoli carries on a tradition so old that it's hard to date, performing music from the south of Italy that soaks up the diverse influences of surrounding regions.
Newpoli's music is the pulse of the Mediterranean, a heartbeat driven by the relentless rhythms of the tamburello. With eight musicians playing more than a dozen handcrafted indigenous instruments, Newpoli mixes exciting originals and unique arrangements of traditional songs.The two singers dance wildly, frenetically, infusing every note with the drama and passion in their blood. Their most recent album, Nun te vutà, features six originals and six traditional songs, all using classic Italian folk sounds to address contemporary issues. The tempo is high, the rhythms are propulsive, and the crowd cannot stand still.

Q: Why did you decide to come across the country to study at Syracuse?
A: I had a comfort zone in California that I felt I needed to break with. I wanted a well-rounded education, where I could explore my interests and grow as a person. Syracuse seemed to offer that more than any other university.
Q: In addition to your two majors, what else have you gotten involved in at Syracuse?
A: I'm part of the the Renée Crown University Honors Program. I was the marketing director of OrangeSeeds, a first-year leadership empowerment program, for two years; and an acting coach for the First-Year Players, a musical theater organization for non-drama majors. I also have volunteered at the Salvation Army, American Red Cross and the Rescue Mission.
Q: How did you decide filmmaking was in your future?
A: I got bit by the acting bug fairly early. During high school, I spent many an afternoon writing and directing short plays, as well as shooting promos for upcoming productions. It was through my role as the fundraising chair of my school's drama department that I became interested in film.
Since then, I've thrown myself into writing and directing. I'm really proud of my Honors Capstone Project, which is a documentary about former slaves who became authors, abolitionists and social reformers. It's a docudrama called American Voices.
Q: What was involved in putting your capstone project together?
A: I interviewed scholars all over the country, including at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Many of these meetings involved professors of African American studies and American literature. The whole experience of filming and traveling was funded by the Honors Program and Newhouse's TRF Program.
Q: What else are you proud of having done during your time here?
A: I'm proud of the work I've done in the English language program as a 'conversation partner,' tutoring international students in conversational English. Being a 'conversation partner' has taught me how to be a better listener and to be more culturally aware. I now hope I can earn to a Fulbright grant award, to spend a year teaching English in Malaysia. It will help me when I come back [to the United States] and enter the entertainment industry.
