Top Immigration Officials Gave Asylum Officers The Wrong Instructions On Trump's New Restrictive Policy

On Tuesday, immigration officials rushed to correct guidance sent to asylum officers across the country that could have mistakenly applied a Trump administration policy denying asylum to immigrants who passed through Mexico before reaching the US to some of the wrong people, according to an email obtained by BuzzFeed News.
The guidance sent Saturday to asylum officers came after the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday allowed for the policy, which denies asylum to people who passed through Mexico but did not apply for protections there, to be implemented in southern border states outside areas the court covers, such as New Mexico or Texas. The court covers California and Arizona.
A lead official at US Citizenship and Immigration Services emailed the incorrect guidance to asylum officers. The email said the policy applied to all individuals who had filed affirmative asylum applications on or after the date the policy was implemented on July 16 and that remained pending after Aug. 16, the date of the 9th Circuit ruling.
But that email critically didn't mention when the person entered the US. Asylum applications can legally be filed within one year of a person entering the country, and hundreds of thousands of people do this every year.
The correct policy only applies to those who entered or attempted to enter the country on or after July 16, not to those who came before that date and are still within the year time frame to file.
In a statement to BuzzFeed News, USCIS spokeswoman Jessica Collins, denied the agency's guidance was corrected.
"USCIS took broad and immediate action consistent with the court order and issued more specific guidance once we had time to fully analyze the court order. Neither guidance contradicts the other," she said.
On Tuesday, the same USCIS official sent an email to USCIS officers saying that the guidance sent Saturday was "withdrawn" and would be replaced by updated guidance. The official added the new details as a "reminder" to the asylum officers.
"The fact that they lumped in tens of thousands of potential asylum applications shows that implementation was not thoroughly thought out before being distributed to the asylum officers and this is part of a pattern of moving forward with policies before the implementation has been thoroughly vetted," said Sarah Pierce, an analyst at the Migration Policy Institute.
The ban applies not just to Central Americans, but any immigrants who are not Mexican but travel through Mexico. In recent months, Cubans, Haitians, and Venezuelans have applied for asylum at the southern border in higher numbers. The ban applies to people who are apprehended crossing the border during the first screening process, known as the "credible fear" screening.
The ACLU filed suit over the policy soon after it was enacted, winning a nationwide injunction by a federal court judge in San Francisco on July 24. But, on Friday, a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals panel allowed for the policy to remain in place in areas outside its jurisdiction.

Clusterfukushima
There have been a cluster of earthquakes near Fukushima. Just today, there was another 6.0 earthquake.
There have been a cluster of meltdowns at Fukushima. For example, Asahi reports today:
A second meltdown likely occurred in the No. 3 reactor at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant, a scenario that could hinder the current strategy to end the crisis, a scientist said.
In that meltdown, 10 days after the March 11 Great East Japan Earthquake, the fuel may have leaked to the surrounding containment vessel, according to a report by Fumiya Tanabe, a former senior researcher at what was then the government-affiliated Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute.
Under Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s road map to deal with its crippled nuclear plant, reducing temperatures at the bottom of the core pressure vessel is one objective for bringing the accident under control. But if the fuel burned through the pressure vessel surrounding the No. 3 reactor and dropped into the containment vessel, that plan would be affected.
Around 11 a.m. on March 14, the reactor building was hit by a large hydrogen explosion that was likely caused by a core meltdown, which led to fuel falling to the bottom of the pressure vessel.
Tanabe also estimates that the second meltdown led to the release of large amounts of radioactive materials, and that much of the fuel fell through the pressure vessel to the surrounding containment vessel.
Kunihisa Soda, a former commissioner at the Nuclear Safety Commission of Japan who is a specialist on severe accidents at nuclear plants, said the possibility of a second meltdown could not be ruled out.
Nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen notes that there are currently lethal radiation levels at Fukushima, that even higher measurements are to still come, and that the nuclear core has leaked out and is on floor like a pancake working its way down.
NHK notes that scientists have found radiation levels in Japan higher than any found in the contaminated zone in Chernobyl called Red Forest:
And nuclear regulators only thought about worst case scenarios involving a single nuclear plant. They totally ignored the fact that power loss to complexes of nuclear reactors - like the cluster of 6 reactors at Fukushima - could lead to multiple simultaneous meltdowns.
And then there's a cluster of cover ups.
As the New York Times reports:
"From the 12th to the 15th we were in a location with one of the highest levels of radiation," said Tamotsu Baba, the mayor of Namie, which is about five miles from the nuclear plant. He and thousands from Namie now live in temporary housing in another town, Nihonmatsu. "We are extremely worried about internal exposure to radiation."
The withholding of information, he said, was akin to "murder."
In interviews and public statements, some current and former government officials have admitted that Japanese authorities engaged in a pattern of withholding damaging information and denying facts of the nuclear disaster — in order, some of them said, to limit the size of costly and disruptive evacuations in land-scarce Japan and to avoid public questioning of the politically powerful nuclear industry. As the nuclear plant continues to release radiation, some of which has slipped into the nation's food supply, public anger is growing at what many here see as an official campaign to play down the scope of the accident and the potential health risks.
Seiki Soramoto, a lawmaker and former nuclear engineer to whom Prime Minister Naoto Kan turned for advice during the crisis, blamed the government for withholding forecasts from the computer system, known as the System for Prediction of Environmental Emergency Dose Information, or Speedi.
"In the end, it was the prime minister's office that hid the Speedi data," he said. "Because they didn't have the knowledge to know what the data meant, and thus they did not know what to say to the public, they thought only of their own safety, and decided it was easier just not to announce it."
Meltdowns at three of Fukushima Daiichi's six reactors went officially unacknowledged for months. In one of the most damning admissions, nuclear regulators said in early June that inspectors had found tellurium 132, which experts call telltale evidence of reactor meltdowns, a day after the tsunami — but did not tell the public for nearly three months. For months after the disaster, the government flip-flopped on the level of radiation permissible on school grounds, causing continuing confusion and anguish about the safety of schoolchildren here in Fukushima.
The timing of many admissions ... suggested to critics that Japan's nuclear establishment was coming clean only because it could no longer hide the scope of the accident.
The mayor of Namie also said the government's justifications for withholding information are nonsensical.
And in related news:

It's a clusterfukushima.

Ex-SKF posts today a very informative documentary (in English) on the efforts of a dissident Japanese scientist to map the reality of radiation. It is a YouTube video but ex-SKF suggests that it may be removed from view soon because of copyright issues (it's an NHK movie).
Also I have come recently upon this very interesting English language blog on the Fukushima catastrophe and mismanagement: http://fukushima-diary.com/
Whatever the case, the criminal mismanagement of the Japanese authorities is not just murderous against their own people (of course!) but also potentially criminal against the rest of the World, because Japanese radioactive exports are being shipped out with no apparent control at home, so it depends of the importer countries to keep them at bay. In the last days alone Egypt and Russia had to quarantine Japanese electronic and car imports respectively because of radiation.
I do not know you but I have no idea of which precautions, if any, are being taken at borders to prevent radioactive imports, so cautionarily I am not buying anything Japanese (bye bye to the raman noodle soups) nor really anything from East Asia in general (I'm even wary of US imports because I do not trust US radioactive surveillance either).
I felt a lot safer with the management of Chernobyl. There were lots of problems with Chernobyl but once the problem was admitted, surveillance was exhaustive. Even today there are lots of controls on food at European level for that reason.
But Fukushima?! It's a total chaos. I could never expect this kind of criminal attitude by any government anywhere, certainly not in a developed country, a first tier economic and technological power, a democracy...
But in the end, when you think about this, it's like comparing US management of Katrina with Cuban management of a previous hurricane (can't recall the name): in Capitalist countries it's everyone by themselves, governments are a total farce, except for keeping public order and for show, in Socialist states, people is evacuated orderly by the state and reconstruction efforts are lead by the state, so there is a feeling that society works, even if it may be authoritarian.

The Church stands and falls with the Liturgy. When the adoration of the divine Trinity declines, when the faith no longer appears in its fullness on the Liturgy of the Church, when man's words, his thoughts, his intentions are suffocating him, then faith will have lost the place where it is expressed and where it dwells. For that reason, the true celebration of the Sacred Liturgy is the centre of any renewal of the Church whatever.
What Does "Ut In Omnibus Glorificetur Deus" Mean?
Part of the mission of Holy Rosary parish is summed up in the Latin motto ut in omnibus gorifectur Deus. What does this mean?
This motto, which may be translated that in all things God may be glorified, comes from our parish's Benedictine tradition. It may be found at the end of chapter 57 of the Holy Rule of Saint Benedict.
The exhortation was originally intended for those who sold the monks' handiwork, reminding them that God should be glorified not only by the monks' labor, but also by the justice of the seller's transaction. However, it has been extended to mean that every labor should be undertaken in obedience, faith, penance, and prayer so that God might be glorified in all things.
At Holy Rosary, it means restoring the sense of the transcendent to the sacred liturgy. After all, this is the place where "heaven and earth kiss", where we ourselves are swept up into the eternal, heavenly liturgy in which our earthly liturgy is both a participation and a foretaste.
The Catholic Church has a rich, two thousand year history of worship and devotion, of art and architecture and music. This is our heritage, our patrimony. These great riches of the Church are not meant to be shelved in some museum or hoarded in some treasury; they meant to be shared with all.
And these riches are inexhaustible.
We are a Catholic parish practicing the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite, but in the liturgical arts, we strive to bring the extraordinary to the Ordinary. Our ultimate desire as humans is for the Good, the Beautiful, and the True, who is Christ. Surely the One who is Goodness and Beauty and Truth should be worshipped in goodness, beauty, and truth?
[T]he liturgy is the summit toward which the activity of the Church is directed; at the same time it is the font from which all her power flows. For the aim and object of apostolic works is that all who are made sons of God by faith and baptism should come together to praise God in the midst of His Church, to take part in the sacrifice, and to eat the Lord's supper.

Photo Flash: THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG Kicks Off Holiday Season with Pie From Master Baker Ellen Gray
by Julie Musbach
BroadwayWorld.com Nov. 18, 2017
Nationally acclaimed pie maven Ellen Gray knows a thing or two about pies, and she shares that knowledge and expertise from the helm of one of New Jersey's most popular bakeries, while also teaching, blogging and more on "No More Mr. Nice Pie." As someone always seeking to share the comfort of the perfect pie, on Wednesday, November 15, 2017, Ellen delivered an assortment of all the right pies to the cast and crew of Broadway's The Play That Goes Wrong, at the Lyceum Theatre in Manhattan (149 W. 45th St., New York, NY).
"The manager of the Lyceum Theatre, Heidi Giovine, is a friend of mine who is constantly doing kind things for others," comments Ellen Gray. "I wanted to do something to express my thanks, and to show my support for the rigors of helping to stage eight shows a week. Also, this is one of my favorite shows-the perfect cure for whatever ails you. It's not star-driven, it is a true ensemble. How refreshing is that?" To help provide a little sunshine, Ellen offered to bring some pre-Thanksgiving pie cheer between the matinee and evening performance this week, and the answer was a resounding yes!
Ellen then brought an assortment of pies to the cast and crew of The Play That Goes Wrong at the Lyceum Theatre, between the matinee and evening performance on Wednesday. The Play That Goes Wrong was written by Henry Lewis, Jonathan Sayer and Henry Shields, directed by Mark Bell, and with Original Music by Rob Falconer. Ellen's pie recipients included the show's cast (Ashley Bryant, Clifton Duncan, Mark Evans, Jonathan Fielding, Amelia McClain, Harrison Unger, Akron Watson, Preston Boyd, Ned Noyes, Ashley Reyes, and Katie Sexton), as well as its crew and front of house staff, including Matty DiCarlo (PSM), Mike Taustine (Box), Rhianna Bryceland (Box), Shari Teitlebaum (Box), Mark Diaz (House Carp), Paul Davila (House Elec), and Leah Nelson (House Props).
To treat the whole company and its 45 members, Ellen baked up half a dozen delicious homemade pies. In keeping with the theme of The Play That Goes Wrong, she baked a few mouthwatering traditional Fall seasonal pies (Apple and Tipsy Pumpkin), along with a few other delicate and delicious combinations including Wild Nut and Rhubarb/Cherry. "There's something terribly wrong about rhubarb and cherries in November," admits Ellen. "But there was also something refreshing about a touch of spring in autumn. It also helps that I came across some fresh rhubarb this week at a local farmers market!"
The Play That Goes Wrong was the perfect choice as recipient for Ellen's pie-delivery, since for Ellen, the hilarious comedy perfectly mirrors Thanksgiving week in the bakery! In The Play That Goes Wrong, the 'Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society' struggles amidst a series of near-derailments to present their 1920s murder mystery to an eager audience. Meanwhile, "in the bakery, we are challenged with unforeseen and unplanned obstacles as well, even as we forge ahead to meet our Thanksgiving deadlines!" Ellen points out. "Work in a bakery is often strenuous and extremely deadline-driven. Luckily, The Play That Goes Wrong provides an escape, through laughter, from reality and everyday stress! And, much like the company in The Play That Goes Wrong, we are an ensemble in the kitchen, constantly taking our cues from each other."
Ellen's pie delivery to The Play That Goes Wrong wasn't her first Broadway pie delivery. In 2016, she also provided pies to the cast of Hamilton on March 14, 2016, on "Pi Day" when Lin-Manuel Miranda was still performing with the show. She delivered a baker's dozen of pies to the Hamilton company, in celebration of both Pi Day and the anniversary of March 14, 1776, when Alexander Hamilton was appointed captain of the 1st battalion, 5th Field Artillery Unit of the United States Army. (As a bit of trivia, this unit is the oldest still existing today, and the only one remaining from the Revolution.)
"I have always tried to squeeze in a donation of pies to a food bank or charity during the holiday season," adds Ellen. "It's a tiny gesture but it forces me to stop and think about the world outside the bakery. My passion for pie baking is driven by a passion for sharing. It is incredibly rewarding to reach out, beyond the retail-driven work environment. I always think of pie baking as a relatively humble skill-I'm not doing anything remarkable, but it is extremely gratifying."
For Ellen's next outreach to the Broadway community, she is hoping to make a donation to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS as well, hopefully during the Christmas season, and is also currently looking for the opportunity to further contribute to a suitable soup kitchen within the arts community, in addition.
About Pie Expert Ellen Gray:
Ellen Gray knows a thing or two about pies, as she commands confectionary perfection from the helm of one of New Jersey's most popular bakeries. Today, even as the holidays approach, Ellen's pies are flying out the door faster than ever before. But she's not just baking. She also teaches baking and pie-making classes, creates new recipes, and continues to post tips, travelogues, recipes, and seasonal Pie-kus on her popular blog, "No More Mr. Nice Pie" (http://www.nomoremrnicepie.com).

In March 2018 the Ministry of Health approved VCH-Richmond's Acute Care Tower Redevelopment concept plan. The new Acute Care Tower (ACT) will be built on the current site where the Rotunda and Park Centre buildings are located. Planning for the Acute Care Tower is underway and includes ongoing consultation with staff, physicians, and other stakeholders, including the Ministry of Health and the Richmond Hospital Foundation. Current work is focused on the development of a Business Plan, the first step of which includes a clinical service plan (clinical operations) and functional program (space requirements) to help determine design elements of the new facility.
This new eight-floor, Acute Care Tower will add more beds and replace the current out-dated North Tower at Richmond Hospital. Once completed, the new ACT will support patients through best-practice designed single-occupancy rooms, a state-of-the-art perioperative suite and new Medical Device Reprocessing Department (MDRD). An innovative, collaborative planning approach will ensure high quality care and services meet the future needs of patients and their families.


There's a new trend you need to be aware of. Kids are purposely waking up at 3:00 a.m. to seek paranormal activity. 3:00 a.m. has been called "the devil's hour" or "the witching hour."
This growing trend has been made popular with kids by YouTube stars like 26-year-old Jason Ethier, the creator of the channel ImJayStation. At the time of this writing, he has over 1.2 million subscribers.
Jason uploads videos in which he tries to experience paranormal activity on camera during the middle of the night. Jason says, "I make the challenges because I have always been interested in ghosts and spirits...what makes them scary is that when you are doing things to attract ghosts into your house — even if you don't believe in ghosts — it's always in your mind that it could be real."
Kids are now creating the videos as well. Ruby Coker, is an 11-year-old who posts scary, 3 a.m. videos on her YouTube channel, RubyRube. She has over 1.4 million subscribers.
This is influencing many children to film themselves trying to make paranormal contact at 3:00 a.m. Search engine data shows that the 3:00 a.m. challenge started spiking interest in May of 2017 and has been rapidly growing in popularity since August. The August increase is probably due to kids returning to school and talking about making the videos.
Parents and children's ministry leaders should be aware of this trend and guide kids away from it. While it is normal for kids to be curious about things that are "scary," this is a dangerous trend. Not only can it cause kids to have trouble falling asleep, it also elevates contact with the spirit world, which can open the door to the influence of the demonic. This trend falls in line with other spiritually dangerous games such as the Ouija Board.
We must help kids see that we are to avoid evil and pursue God and His righteousness instead. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.

Q: Cancel/insert/update not saving to the DB I am working on Northwind database reproducing this demo. The code is not showing any error  but all operations insert/update/delete are only temporary.

            employeeTable.AcceptChanges();
       }
  }

Why my insert/delete/update are only temporary and visible in the current session? How can I fix this to get insert/update/delete changing the data in the database?

A: Acknowledge that Rows.Add() or AcceptChanges() do NOT write anything to the underlying database. They only operate on the in-memory data structures such as DataTables and DataSets. To actually save changes, you must:

*

*Either use TableAdapter.Update() method and supply your modified DataTable to it.

*Use SqlCommand and manually execute UPDATE, INSERT and DELETE commands.

You must NOT call AcceptChanges() before sending your changes back to the database.

Uighur Militants Reportedly Threaten China in ISIS Video
By Joseph Hincks
A video reportedly released by the Islamic State (ISIS) on Monday features militants from China's Uighur ethnic minority threatening to return home to "shed blood like rivers."
That's according to analysis by U.S.-based jihadist-tracking firm SITE Intelligence Group, which examined the footage, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reports.
Moments before executing an alleged informant, a Uighur militant reportedly issues ISIS's first direct threat against China. According to SITE's translation, the fighter said, "We will come to you to clarify to you with the tongues of our weapons, to shed blood like rivers and avenging the oppressed."
China has long attributed violent attacks in the provincial-level autonomous region of Xinjiang to exiled Uighur "separatists" and warned of their possible collaboration with overseas jihadist groups. Many ethnic minority Uighurs — who are traditionally Muslim — have reported suffering cultural and religious persecution by China.

Michael Clarke, a Xinjiang expert at Australian National University, told AFP that the video showed China is now "very firmly a target of jihadist rhetoric."
"It is the first time that Uighur-speaking militants have claimed allegiance to ISIS," he said.

Adjustment of Status to Lawful Permanent Resident Status Green Card.
Adjustment of Status generally refers to the procedure for seeking Permanent Resident Status in the United States without having to leave the U.S. This is popularly called the Green Card Application.
Section 245 of the Immigration and Nationality Act governs eligibility requirement for Adjustment of status (Green Card) in the U.S. It allows an alien to apply for adjustment of status to that of a Lawful Permanent Resident while in the United States if certain conditions are met. Such Alien must
Be physically present in the United States.
Have been inspected and admitted or paroled into the U.S.
Be eligible for an immigrant visa.
Have not violated the terms of his or her admission into the U.S.
Have not engaged in Unlawful employment.
Have not violated the terms and conditions of his or her Immigration Status.
Be admissible for permanent residence, and not subject to the grounds of inadmissibility.
Have maintained lawful non immigrant status with some exceptions.
Admission means the lawful entry of the alien into the United States after inspection and authorization by an Immigration officer.
If an Applicant was neither inspected and admitted, nor inspected and paroled, he or she is ineligible to file for Adjustment of Status in the United States unless he or she is eligible for adjustment of status under the provisions of section 245(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act, or the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) or under any other applicable section of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
There are exceptions to some of the above requirements; Some applicant including immediate relatives of United States Citizens , applicants under section 245(i) and 245(k)of the Immigration and Nationality Act and applicants under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) need not have maintained continuous Lawful Status in the United States in order to Adjust Status to that of a Lawful Permanent Resident:
In order to seek adjustment of status ,there must be a visa number immediately available to the applicant. Thus, the beneficiary of an Immigrant visa Petition must have a current priority date in order to be eligible to file for Adjustment of Status. The priority date is the date on which the family based Immigrant visa Petition is filed with United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, or the date the Labor certification is filed with the Department of Labor (DOL) in employment based cases.
The priority date is important because it is the date on which the alien gets in the waiting line for his or her visa number.
Grounds of Inadmissibility are violations that will prevent an applicant for Adjustment of Status from being admissible to the United States. An Applicant who is inadmissible but is eligible for a waiver of that inadmissibility may apply for such waiver before he or she may become eligible for Adjustment of status
The main grounds of inadmissibility fall into health related grounds; crimes; security; public charge; and past Immigration violations.
Ineligible Applicants for Adjustment of Status.
The following individuals are ineligible to file Adjustment of Status (Green Card)
Aliens without Parole or admission.
Alien in Transit.
Aliens who engaged in Unlawful Employment. (There are limited exceptions to this rule).
Alien who re-entered the United States illegally after having been removed (including "deported" and "excluded ), or after having departed voluntarily while under an order of removal (a "self]deport")Aliens Ordered Removed in absentia after failing to appear for a removal proceeding.
Aliens who have violated the terms and conditions of his or her admission into the United (There are limited exceptions to this rule).
Exchange visitor on a (J-1) status subject to the two year foreign residency requirement who has not obtained a waiver .
Aliens without current priority date Aliens already in conditional Resident Status.
Fiancé (e) of a United State Citizen with a K-1 who seek to Adjust Status through someone other than the original fiancé (e) who filed the K-1 visa petition United States Citizen.
Spouse with a K3 Visa who seeks to Adjust Status based on a marriage to someone other than the United States citizen who filed the original K-3 visa Petition.
Aliens admitted under the S Visa Status applying for Adjustment of status unless through the request of a law enforcement agency.
Alien seeking Adjustment of status based on a Marriage that occurred on or after November 10, 1986 while the alien was in exclusion or deportation proceedings is ineligible unless the alien proves by clear and convincing evidence that the marriage was bona fide and not entered into for the purpose of procuring Immigration benefits.
Other classes of ineligible aliens as provided in the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Adjustment of Status in the U.S requires an approved Immigrant Visa Petition filed on behalf of a beneficiary by a United State Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident family member, an Employer, or through a diversity visa lottery.
Conditional Resident

The Pubs We are the Frequenters in Ankara | Alternatif Ankara Hayatı!
Frequenter: The one who is visiting a place frequently. As the ones who enjoy hanging out, having fun and chat with friends, there are many pubs in Ankara for us which we are the frequenters. When we give a glance to our past, it is recognized that many good times of us passed in these spaces and also we are reliefed with the nice talks of friends in our sad times. We have listed each of these unique pubs in Ankara for you.
The place which conquers your heart with affordable prices receives you with arms open. You start to look forward something happens in Kızılay to find a chance to give a break in Soul Pub. In addition to its delicious dishes, it also have the widest scale of draft beer brands I have ever seen.
An Ankara classic… You feel blesssed when you eat here, since it is always full. Although it is hard to find a table here, it is not a problem for the frequenters; you can always take your drink, hang on in front of the place and have fun. With no doubts, the most attractive characteristic of the place is its warm atmosphere. Another specific reason making this place one of the favorites of us is its menu: kumpir (baked patato fills), kokoreç (grilled and seasoned lamb intestines), and midye (mussels).. each of them matches with your beer perfectly. My favorite appetizer with beer is Kıtır's deep fried mussels.. it is hard to describe, it is better to experience it.
With its warm atmosphere, Zula also promise hours full of pleasure and joy to you and your friends. There is another major reason to love Zula that much: table soccer! There is nothing competes with challenging your friends in table soccer after the wonderful hours chatting and being lightheaded. It is also irreplaceable for large group meetings since it is considerably large place.
The popular place of the Jazz lovers: June Pub. Live performences in three days of the week and of course we will be there! A place that colors our day with its energetic and warm atmosphere, you may be addicted to. With no doubt, June will be one of our irreplaceables because of their service motto of "good food, good vine and good music". Although the place is recently opened, it already has its own frequenter profile.
There is no one who lives in Ankara and doesn't know Sakal. It is the reason of the crowd starting from the beginning of Tunus street while you are directed to Bestekar street, because there is fact of "in front of the Sakal". You always feel like "what is happening here!?" when you pass in front of the place on Saturdays and Sundays, lots of deep chats are experienced in this place. It is one of the well known pubs in Ankara where calls everybody from all generations.
It is the savior of the profile living at a distance from the city center. It is a hot spot to save ourselves from the crowds of the city with its cool atmosphere and high quality service. Another reason for being a frequenter is the large area obtained for playing billiard and dart, just for the game lovers!
It is the most lovable figure of Sakarya street, the center of the sincerity and the stage of our favorite music groups. It is actually a bar and is more than a pub for us, but may compete with many other places when the number of frequenters are considered. There is almost no one who lives his/her young ages in Ankara and never stop by this place. Sometimes you go there since you missed it or you just love it, and sometimes you visit there for its wonderful rocket salad. Now, there is a generation in Ankara who is dying for learning the recipe of this salad !


Growing plants hydroponically is not as hard as many people are lead to believe. It used to be that if you wanted to start growing hydroponic plants, you had to invest a lot of money in equipment and materials get started, today that just isn't the case. As the popularity and the demand for hydroponics keeps growing, more and more companies are putting together starter kits for beginners, at affordable prices.
While you can go out and invest a small fortune buying high tech equipment and supplies, you really do not need to. Don't get me wrong, if you have the money and want to spend it, there are some amazing kits out there that can really automate the entire process for you. But how many of us can truly afford to shell out a mortgage payment for something that we could just as easily get done on a cheaper scale? For the purposes of this article, we are going to assume you are new to hydroponics and we will go through some of the basics first. Read on for more hydroponics how to.
Hydroponics is more than just a hobby, it is a sustainable way of growing. You will find that there are numerous advantages to growing hydroponically than growing in a traditional garden. The first, and probably the most obvious is you do not need a yard to get started. In fact, you don't even need to be outside at all. That advantage alone makes hydroponics ideal. With the right conditions, you could grow plants indoors all year round. Imagine having fresh vegetables picked right off the plant in the middle of winter!
Another advantage to hydroponics is there is no tilling or weeding. Since you aren't growing in soil and you have complete control over the growing environment, you won't have to waste your time, or break your back tending to the garden. You can also set up your plants on a table or bench so you will never have to work at ground level. Plants grown hydroponically can outperform those grown in a traditional garden, if tended properly. You will find your hydroponics how to system will grow faster and produce more as well, making this system ideally suited for growing vegetables.
You will need to familiarize yourself with the basic components of a hydroponics how to system if you are going to start growing. The first part is the reservoir. This will hold the water and the nutrient solution that will feed your plants.
You will have a tray, or growing chamber, which will be used to hold the plant itself.
If you are using an ebb and flow system, you will need a submersible pump that will go into the reservoir, this is what feeds the nutrients up to the tray.
Since you won't have the benefit of sunlight, you will need to get some sort of lighting. A cheap shop light will suffice and you can buy special grow lights to fit it.
You will need some sort of timer for both the pump and for your lights.
You will need a growing medium to start your plants in. Common examples are rockwool, peat moss, sand, and vermiculite.
You will also need to buy the nutrient solution that will ultimately feed your plants. These will be plant specific in many cases so you will need to decide what you would like to grow before getting started.
Ok so now that you are familiar with the individual components that make up a system, you will inevitably be faced with a choice of what to buy. Do you try to put your own system together or do you go out and make the investment in a complete system that has all the components that you need? If you are just getting into hydroponics how to, it is advisable that you purchase an inexpensive system to get started. In the end it will probably be cheaper than if you built it yourself, and in the long run the experience you gain early on will be worth every penny you spent.
Once you have grown a few plants using your first system, you will find out quickly if hydroponics is for you or not. Trust me it is much better to find out early on, before you invest a lot of money, if this is going to be all you had hoped it would be. Some entry level hydroponic systems range upwards of $600, this is a lot of money to go to waste if you start growing and decide you don't enjoy it. You can always spend the money later if you do, but you can never get it back if you don't!
Once you actually start growing, you will most likely discover that hydroponics is not all that different from growing plants outside in the garden. The growing medium is difference, and the tools are different, but in the end the plants themselves still need the same things to survive. Be sure you have the right amount of light. Use a timer to cycle 12 hours on and 12 hours off.
Temperature is also very important and sometimes is specific to the plant type itself, but as a general rule of thumb you can grow in temperatures ranging from 65 degrees up to 85 degrees. You want to have a medium amount of humidity for most plants. Be sure to monitor your pH levels very closely, if the pH is too high or too low, the plants will not absorb the nutrients efficiently and will become deficient. You can buy test kits in pet stores, hardware stores, and most garden centers, to make sure the water in the reservoir is just right. These are just a few of the basics of hydroponics how to to help you get started!

McLennan, Donald (1852–1917)
from Mullumbimby Star (NSW)
The news of the death of the above gentleman came as a shock and a surprise to most when the word was passed round on Monday morning. The deceased had been somewhat ailing for a week or so, but nothing serious was expected or thought of. Last Sunday week he preached as usual and it was towards end of the week that he had to take to his bed. On Saturday his condition was serious and on Sunday all hope was abandoned. After the evening service on Sunday a message was received from him that he would like to see the Kirk Session and they went to the manse. The rev. gentleman was perfectly conscious and spoke and bade farewell to all of them, expressing the assurance that he would meet them all on the other side when "the morning" came. Several of them sat with him all the night and only left at daybreak when he woke out of peaceable sleep and seemed brighter. The brightness was only evanescent as he passed away about 7 a.m. The end was calm and peaceful.
The Rev. Donald McLennan was born at Beauly, in Inverness Shire, Scotland in 1852. From school there he went into mercantile life in Inverness, but wishing to become a foreign missionary, he left for London and there received training. In 1875 he left for home mission work in New Zealand and there trained for the ministry. He received his license to preach five years after from the Presbytery of Auckland and his first charge was St. Andrews, South Canterbury. Meanwhile he was called to Pleasant Point and was ordained by the Presbytery of Timaru in 1880. The following year he was married. For five years he stayed there and then went to Akaroa. There he worked hard till his health gave way and he was ordered by medical advice to come to Australia. In 1890 he came to Sydney and hence on to Bega. Berry was his next change and he remained there for 12 years. While on a visit to the Darling Downs he received a call to Allora and was there for six years when Clifton was made a separate parish and he was put in charge of it. From Clifton he came to Mullumbimby and was inducted here on the 6th January, 1914.
The deceased gentleman's work speaks for itself. At Akoroa he had a church built and opened it free of debt; at Allora and Clifton two new churches were also built; and at Mullumbimby the present manse was bought. While on the Darling Downs he received the highest honour his church could give him and he was Moderator for Queensland for a term and was also Clerk for his own Presbytery.
THE FUNERAL.
The funeral took place on Tuesday from the manse, and all creeds were represented to pay a tribute to the memory of the departed.
At the manse a short service was conducted by the Rev. D. McIlwrath (Moderator of the Richmond River Presbytery) and from there the mortal remains were removed to the church, followed by the following elders: — Messrs T. Gibson, J. Macgregor, D. Blanch (Session Clerk), R. Argue and R. Y. Gourlay. There was also a large attendance of the general public.
At the church the service opened with a prayer by the Rev. Mr Hulme (Ballina) and part of Psalm 90. sung. The Rev. Mr McAlpine (Alstonville) then read portions of scripture which included Psalm 47, 2nd Thessalonians, 4th chap., and Revelations chap, xxii.
After the singing of hymn, the Rev McKillop (Lismore) said that the Rev. Donald McLennan had been well known to all. His had been the life well spent and now came the rest well earned. The speaker outlined the life of the deceased and said that the departed had not been one whose aim was to fill the coffers of the church but had been out to preach Christ and to show to men the example of how a life could be well spent. That had been the ideal, to keep before the people Christ and Christ crucified. The Rev. McKillop said that he knew the deceased as a man whom God had called and who had fulfilled his calling. In Queensland when the question of religions instruction in State schools was exercising the people's minds, the Rev Mr McLennan had travelled the country and spoken in and out of season for that cause. Many were against him but his opponents could only say he was a man of God above all party strife. And as he had lived, so had he died, fully assured of the rest eternal that was promised. The deceased had shown an example to Mullumbimby and the speaker hoped the example would go to the hearts of his hearers.
After a prayer by Mr McIlwrath and the singing of a hymn, the Benediction was pronounced by the Rev. Mr Miller.
From the church to the Cemetery the cortege was an exceedingly long one, and was one of the longest ever seen in Mullumbimby. The remains were followed by the elders and the P.A.F.S. Lodge on foot and then the members of the Presbytery and Revs. Kittell (Anglican) and Walker (Methodist) and the general public. All the business places on the route were closed.
At the graveside the service was continued by the Rev. Miller and the final address by Rev. Mr McAlpine. He said he was the youngest man in the Presbytery and he remembered the hand-shake and the hand on the shoulder that Mr McLennan had given him in welcome. The speaker said he had looked on the deceased as a father and followed advice given. The speaker spoke with emotion throughout and it could be seen that his words came from the heart and not from the lips only.
The deceased leaves a widow, a son and two grandchildren.
The coffin was of cedar, with silver moundings, and was covered with beautiful wreaths from the many who had benefitted from the deceased's advice and ministrations. Many from the South Coast were there who had been married by the Rev McLennan, and some were even christened by him.
The funeral arrangements were carried out by Mr P. McAuley, on behalf of Mrs Berry.

Welcome New Author, Christine Miskonoodinkwe Smith!
A warm welcome to new Kegedonce Press author Christine Miskonoodinkwe Smith, author of
These are the Stories: Memories of a 60s Scoop Survivor
Kegedonce Press is excited to announce the release of These are the Stories: Memories of a 60s Scoop Survivor by Saulteaux/Peguis First Nation author Christine Miskonoodinkwe Smith.
In this collection of auto-biographical essays, Christine tells the stories of her experiences in the child welfare system, including a failed adoption and her quest to find her birth mother. At the basis of these stories is the question, "Where is home?" Christine's experiences express the lasting harm and trauma caused by the seizure of First Nations children from their homes and communities. While this is a story of the dreadful failures of the child welfare system, it is also a story of hope, as the author relates her journey towards healing. Reconnecting with her birth mother as an adult enabled her to feel complete, whole, and home.
On January 22, join Christine Miskonoodinkwe Smith as she launches her brand-new book online via Zoom! We will be joined by Nathan Niigan Noodin Adler, moderator, and Cynthia Wesley-Esquimaux, who will give an introduction. Audience Q&A by chat on Zoom, live streaming to Facebook. More details and links on the These are the Stories Book Launch page and Book Launch Event page.
To find out how to help Christine get the word out about her book, visit the launch page on her website!

Tobacco products are widely known to be both poisonous and highly addictive. By this point the heavy regulation and taxation of these products is practically non-controversial. But the first national tobacco regulations were met with fierce opposition, and the legal and political battles against the industry raged until the end of the 20th century.
Letter from Dr. F.J.L. Blasingame, AMA Executive Vice President, to the FTC's division of trade regulation rules.
These bills, if enacted, will have a profound impact upon this great industry. Unwise legislation in this field could produce repercussions which would be felt throughout the country's economy. I am confident that the Congress will exercise great care before taking any action which would seriously disrupt this important industry….We are strongly opposed to these bills. We do not believe that any governmental action is necessary or called for with respect to cigarette advertising or labeling.
Bowman Gray Jr., chairman of R. J. Reynolds' board.
If there is to be a caution notice….It should be stated in a way which reflects the lack of definitive clinical and laboratory scientific evidence on the relationship between smoking and health.


Sometimes, just the prospect of coming home from work and hopping on Skype can seem a bit daunting, right?
and it all seemed a little, well, much.
I absolutely understand and respect that you may not be in the right place to work with me one on one right now, but I definitely don't want that to mean you don't get the benefit of some of the awesome tools and techniques I've learned from my yoga, hypnotherapy and psychotherapy training.
audios that I've found work for me and my clients and put them together in one package to download and listen to as and when you like. I'm not kidding – I use these myself and I love them, that's why I'm so excited I get to share them with you!
A short audio that flips a switch in the brain to change your thinking, quick-smart. It's super easy and, once you know the method, you can use it for anything, even getting rid of some physical pain, like a headache!
I first used this spontaneously on my brother when he was going through a difficult time at work. I have no idea where it came from but it always seems to have a very powerful healing effect. If you've got some stuff in your past that you feel still troubles you, or perhaps people tell you that you can be a bit childish in your reactions sometimes, try listening to this one every day for a week and see if you can notice the difference and the 'lighter' feeling.
We have ALL been there. I spent the first 25 years of my life desperate for my parents' approval and it left me drained, numb and unable to think for myself. This meditation gently encourages you to release the need for others' approval by looking internally and finding your inner flow – the part of you that knows what you want and what you feel, and is unapologetic about it.
I am 100% for feeling your feelings. If you're angry at someone or something then it's so important you feel that anger and accept it as part of you. But, at some point, you need to allow it to settle and release. This audio helps you to forgive yourself and others so that you can look forward without old hangs ups influencing your unconscious reactions and feelings.
The most powerful hypnotherapy script I've found for shifting blocks and helping people see opportunities and a positive future. Sometimes life can seem so dark and depressing but by working with your unconscious to shift your perspective, you can open up to new possibilities and a more positive and happy future.
This is all about getting in touch with your intuition and figuring out what message you want to share with the world. Some people might get a bolt from the blue about what this should be, but most people need to take some time and meditate on what their heart and higher good is trying to tell them. This is an audio to listen to on it's own, every day for at least a week and have a pen and a piece of paper at the ready so as soon as you open your eyes you can write whatever comes to mind.
All these audios come as mp3 files that you can stick on your smartphone or listen to from your computer.
I'm super happy to share all these audios with you because I genuinely love them all! I know I can't work with everyone one on one so this way, I can spread the love via the audios and together we can take one step closer to Selfish Consciousness and make the world a better place.


Criminals will soon have fewer safe havens in which to hide their money and disguise their activities.
An amendment to the UK's Sanctions and Anti Money Laundering Bill made earlier this week will force Britain's Overseas Territories to implement public registers of beneficial ownership by 2020, shedding light on the previously secret relationships between companies registered in those jurisdictions and their owners.
This is a crucial step forward in the fight against financial crime, money laundering, organised crime and terrorism. This information will help compliance officers in financial institutions to better assess money laundering risks while performing customer due diligence checks and conducting investigations. As a result, criminals will find it harder to hide the source of illicit funds.
The fight against financial crime is a global one and it relies on a "network effect", which is only possible through collaboration between all parties: law enforcement, banks, other financial institutions and regulators. It is very significant that, in the future, this information will be available to all, whereas today only a small number of these territories have registers which are only available to law enforcement.
UK Charity Transparency International notes that three quarters of UK properties that are investigated in corruption cases used offshore corporate secrecy to hide true ownership. In one year alone, £3.8 billion worth of UK property was purchased by British Virgin Islands-registered companies. Last year, the Financial Times reported that hundreds of British shell companies were implicated in nearly £80 billion of money laundering.
But this move is not just about uncovering nefarious use of secret shell companies – greater transparency will also make it easier for those who have legitimate links to overseas territories, for example, by making it easier for banks to on-board legitimate customers and provide access to banking services.
Some may disagree with the way that this has come about – in 2014, David Cameron made transparency in British overseas territories a priority, but the approach of working with overseas territories to gain consensus for legislative change has not worked. In 2018, the approach is radically different: against their will and despite the risk of further impact to hurricane-impacted economies, the UK government has essentially imposed this measure on the overseas territories.
Despite this, I believe that this imposition is both necessary and right. Just as organised crime and the resultant money laundering is a global problem, leading financial centres must take bold actions that have a global impact. In taking this step, the UK has shown further commitment to making London's global financial services industry a hostile place to launder dirty money.
But is this enough to tip the balance in the fight against financial crime? We certainly welcome the move and, even though there are still jurisdictions where secrecy is available, it will certainly land a blow to criminal money laundering operations globally. However, the UK's anti money laundering regime needs further reform. Financial institutions currently spend huge amounts from their compliance budgets implementing systems to monitor customer activity for possible money laundering and reporting this activity to law enforcement authorities, however very few of these reports result in direct action. One change we strongly advocate is to move to an intelligence-led approach to identifying money laundering and other financial crime, using modern technology to focus on suspicious networks of behaviour and entities, rather than transactions.


The travel law team at HolidayIllnessClaims have recently been contacted by a holidaymaker whose stay at the Palm Wings Ephesus Beach Resort was ruined by gastroenteritis.
Has your highly anticipated package holiday been ruined by an illness which lasted for at least seven days? If so, then you may be able to make a no win no fee claim for holiday illness compensation!
To find out how our experts can help you receive the compensation you deserve, call our dedicated holiday illness helpline today on 0800 01 54321.
Or if you are unable to speak over the phone right now, you can also answer a few quick questions relating to your case and start your claim online.
At HoldiayIllnessClaims we are speaking to a holidaymaker who has told us that their illness at the Palm Wings Ephesus Resort has left them seeking medical treatment on their return to the UK.
They reported that they were informed on arrival at the hotel of a suspected outbreak of gastroenteritis which had left hotel guests suffering symptoms of vomiting and diarrhoea during their stay.
Others have taken to the review website TripAdvisor to report being affected by the illness.
Just came back from a weeks stay at this hotel and 6 out of the 7 days I have had sickness and diarrhoea which has resulted in a visit to the doctors today at home.
In fact 3 out of 4 of us have been ill. I have been to Turkey 4 times and have never been ill. The amount of people ill during the stay was unbelievable and our Thompson rep confirmed that something was "going on" but not sure what, this was also informed to guests by guests relations.
Food was very poor only just warm and always covered in flies I have lived on bread all week. This is the 1st time I've ever been ill abroad so people blaming this on the sun and poor hygiene habits doesn't really make much sense. I did not drink any alcohol because I couldn't so can't be blamed on that either.
It is awfully concerning to learn that numerous recent guests of the Palm Wings Ephesus Beach Resort have has their holidays spoiled by illness, and my thoughts are with those who have been affected.
To discover that guests have even had to be placed on a drip as a result of their illness is massively unnerving, and I should hope that the hotel management and tour operator investigate these claims as soon as possible.
If your holiday has also been ruined by illness, then you have to let illness have the last word. Contact HolidayIllnessClaims today to discover whether or not we can help you make a claim for holiday illness compensation.
If your package holiday has been plagued by sickness within the last three years, then the experts here at HolidayIllnessClaims could be on hand to help you secure the justice that you deserve.
So begin your claim today, by providing our expert legal team with a few of your details on our online contact form.
Or if you would rather discuss the claims process with one of our experienced legal team members, just call our experienced travel law team today on 0800 01 54321.

Shamima Begum: Sajid Javid slammed after ISIS bride's baby dies in Syria
He revoked her British citizenship

The Home Secretary has been criticised after ISIS bridge Shamima Begum's newborn baby died in a detention camp in Syria after her British citizenship was revoked.
The 19-year-old fled London to join the Islamic State group when she was 15 and gave birth to son Jarrah less than three weeks ago.
According to a medical certificate, the baby died of pneumonia, as reported by the BBC .
The group, which runs the camp where the teenager has been living, confirmed the death yesterday (March 8).
Diane Abbott has blamed the baby's death on the "callous" decision to strip the ISIS bride of her UK citizenship by Sajid Javid, reports The Mirror .

The Labour MP tweeted her thoughts after it was confirmed Begum had lost her third child since fleeing to Syria.
The jihadi bride had pleaded that her son be allowed to grow up in the UK with her after he was born in a refugee camp last month.
However, Home Secretary Sajid Javid revoked her citizenship, after warning he would do so for returning jihadis and their backers whenever he can.
Abbott wrote on Twitter: "It is against international law to make someone stateless, and now an innocent child has died as a result of a British woman being stripped of her citizenship.
"This is callous and inhumane."
However, despite the Shadow Home Secretary's comments she was blasted for using the child's death for political point scoring.
One commenter said: "The death of any child is exceptionally sad , however to look for political gain is just depressing."
Another added: "It's not Britain's fault the children died as sad as it is it's the mother's responsibility for choosing her path. To turn a baby's death into political point scoring now that's callous and inhumane."
Yet, Abbott's comments were echoed by Dal Babu, a former Metropolitan Police chief superintendent and friend of the Begum family.
He told BBC's Newsnight: "The family reached out to the Home Office and requested help. The Home Office sent a reply and said 'You've come to the wrong department, you need to speak to Foreign and Commonwealth Office'. There was no attempt to help by the Home Office.
"What we have here is a totally innocent child, whatever you may think of Shamima's shortcomings, the mistakes she made as a 15-year-old child when she was groomed on our watch.
"We failed to safeguard her and now we have failed, as a country, to safeguard a child - a totally innocent British subject."
He added that he believed the decision regarding Ms Begum's citizenship should be "urgently" reviewed.
Mr Javid, when asked whether there was any plan for Ms Begum's son, had previously told the Commons Home Affairs Committee it would be "incredibly difficult" for the Government to facilitate the return of a child from Syria.
"If it is possible somehow for a British child to be brought to a place where there is a British consular presence, the closest place - it might be Turkey for example - in those circumstances I guess potentially it is possible to arrange for some sort of help with the consent of the parent," he added.
"Inside Syria, whether in a camp or maybe somewhere else, there is no British consular presence."
A Government spokesman said: "The death of any child is tragic and deeply distressing for the family.
"The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has consistently advised against travel to Syria since April 2011.
"The Government will continue to do whatever we can to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism and travelling to dangerous conflict zones."

New Agent: The teasing continues
A fortnight ago, the developers of Valorant began teasing the new Agent of the game and it is already known that it could be an Initiator. With the latest update, new elements have been added to tease the character.
In the patch notes 4.07 published on Tuesday 12th April, the game's teams invited the players to the training ground with the following sentence: "The VALORANT Agents have been busy with a pretty frightening problem. Explore around the Shooting Range to find out what they're up to."
As soon as the patch was deployed, some players rushed to the field. They were able to discover a host of new elements designed to tease out the new Agent.
As more or less announced John Goscicki, one of the developers of Valorant, this new character seems to be really linked to the theme of fear. Indeed, everything has been done to stay in theoppressive and frightening atmosphere of the video Become the Nighmare, recently unveiled for the Reykjavik Masters.
As you descend the stairs to the Brimstone office and enter the basement, a strident sound sounds. Once in the office, your field of vision becomes almost black for several seconds and chilling whispers can be heard. In addition, an unfriendly female voice echoes, saying "You are trapped" or "Behold the darkness". Would the next Agent be a woman?
To the left of the office entrance, on the sofa, is a mobile phone. So you can listen to a voice message which tells you the following:
"Hey, big guy. Seriously, you need to tell us what's going on here. Cause I keep seeing things, other people do. We're seeing ghosts or whatever, it's a nightmare, man. The lights flickering, the door handles are cold. We're all on edge. Raze is gonna freak out. What the hell are you and Cypher doing in your secret meetings? Every time we meet, something crazy happens. I know you're in charge of the serious stuff and the confidential stuff, but we want to know. Who are you meeting with?"
We don't know who the author of this message is, but it seems to be part of the team of Agents already in the game, or at least related to them since it mentions Raze and Cypher. This strange message could also reveal some elements that will be found in the character's gameplay.
On the computer in the office you can also read a message from Brimstone, which says that the person who was blackmailing them has been arrested in Turkey, which would confirm the fact that the next agent would be Turkish. If you go to Cypher's office, you can hear a long communication that relays all the details of the operation that led to the arrest of the individual.
In addition, Brimstone announces that it is holding this person in custody and indeed you will be able to see his cell through the door to the left of the office. Unfortunately, it is not possible to see what is in this prison.
Finally, if you wait a few minutes, you will hear a deep sound. Then look down and you will see that a strange shape has appeared at your feet. It is round and seems to turn on itself. Its centre is purple and its outline is yellow. The whole thing tends to remind us of an eye, as we had already seen with the images previously used to tease this new character.
Perhaps this form could be linked to one of the Agent's skills? We don't know much more than that and we'll probably have to wait for more answers.

Do you know what "bad actors" are? I'm not talking about your standard B-movie pretty faces. The bad actors I scowl at are disruptive, invasive, persistent, and just downright rude. They are chemicals: byproducts of our energy consumption habits, our synthetic chemical industry, and our intense fondness for cars and plastics. Not all chemicals are bad actors, mind you. Not all chemicals cause cancer, induce genetic changes, interfere with reproduction, disrupt the endocrine system, or accumulate in the body and in fish.
But those that do are known as bad actors. Chemists have been using that phrase for years, and now health groups have picked it up as an apt way to talk about the chemicals that need to be limited or banned, on the double. Bad actors are the toxic chemicals that parents, doctors, and plain old regular citizens like you and me and everyone should be making a big, fat stink about, because they are trespassing into our communities and our bodies and our children's bodies. Even, sometimes, before they are born.
Yep, kids are born pre-polluted.
But my personal favorite bad actor from the Toxies is Mercury.
He is one of the baddest of the bad. He won a 2011 Toxie Award for Worst and Longest Running Performance. He accumulates in fish and interferes with fetal development. And do you know where he comes from? Mostly from coal burning power plants. Which is why he's got his knickers in a twist about the Mercury and Hazardous Air Pollutants rule, currently under consideration by the EPA. This rule would dramatically reduce the amount of mercury coming from coal plants, using readily available technology to limit the largest human source of a known bad actor. He's begging you to help him stop the EPA.
Let's let bad-boy Mercury know who's boss when it comes to our children's health. Tell the EPA why you support their mercury standard. And join Moms Clean Air Force. We need your voice.
