Cheesy cooked carrots with a crunchy topping. If you have picky eaters, this may be the dish that will get them to eat their cooked carrots.
Placed sliced carrots in a pan of water, boil for 5 minutes with onion salt to taste. Drain carrots and leave them slightly moist.
In a buttered casserole dish, add the carrots and then dot with cheese cubes, and margarine, distributing each evenly over the carrots.
Sprinkle crushed corn flakes, crushed potato chips, or French fried onions on top.
Bake in 350 degrees F. oven for 30 minutes.
Note: This recipe also works as a stove top recipe, although the toppings should be omitted.
"I can never get my kids to eat cooked carrots. I tried this casserole because it had cheese in it so I thought maybe they would eat it. They all liked it except my youngest. The others even asked for more. I guess I will be making it again."

Man claiming allegiance to ISIS stabs policemen and wife to death
Source: http://www.liberation.fr/planete/2016/06/14/policier-et-sa-compagne-tues-en-plein-euro-la-france-a-nouveau-frappee-par-un-acte-jihadiste_1459272
A radicalized killer has stabbed a top cop and his wife to death in their Paris home.
Jean-Baptiste Salvaing, 42, a police commander, suffered nine stomach wounds in the 'terror attack' at his suburban house in the Yvelines department, north of Paris, shortly after 8.30pm. His wife's body was found in the property after elite RAID commandos stormed the building and killed the attacker.
The only survivor was the couple's three-year-old son.
The Islamic State's terror group's Amaq news agency said the attacker was an "Islamic State fighter."
There were also unconfirmed claims that the attacker had discussed his "affiliation to ISIS" during negotiations with the police. A source close to the case said: "It's said that he shouted Allahu Akhbar (Arabic for God is the Greatest) during the attack, and spoke about his membership of ISIS."
Neighbors also said the man had served with the French Army, in the Foreign Legion
Bernard Cazeneuve, France's Interior Minister, said "every line of enquiry" including terrorism was being investigated".
Cazeneuve said the "immediate priority" was the wellbeing of the couple's orphaned son.
Salvaing was an assistant chief with the judicial police at nearby Mureaux, while the dead killer was also from Magnanville.
"It is believed the attacker is a neighbor," said a witness at the scene of the siege.
"The street has now been shut off, and the electricity and gas has been cut."
An Interior Ministry spokesman in Paris said a police negotiator started talking to the neighbor, before he began tweeting threatening messages. It is then that the order was given for the commandos to move in.
Salvaing was known as a 'friendly police officer with a very good reputation,' said a former colleague.
France is currently under a State of Emergency following last year's Islamic State terrorist attacks, in which almost 150 people were murdered, including two police officers.
In November 2015 it was RAID who took part in operations at the Bataclan theatre in Paris, where 90 people were killed during a series of bombings, shootings and hostage taking by ISIS extremists.

France arrests suspected Islamic militants
News Agencies – March 30, 2012
Police commandos arrested 19 suspected Islamic militants in raids in several French cities including Toulouse, where seven people were killed by an al Qaeda-inspired gunman this month. President Nicolas Sarkozy, whose firm handling of the response to the shooting spree may have improved his odds in an election race he has lagged in, said more raids would follow to get rid of "people who have no business in the country".
Interior Minister Claude Gueant said those arrested had paramilitary-type training although he did not say if they were planning an actual attack. Television channels showed images of the early morning raids, with agents from the RAID police commando unit and anti-terrorist specialists bashing down doors, and smashing windows.

Raid at Terror Suspect´s Ottawa Home Defended
The Canada Border Services Agency told the Canadian Federal Court that a terror suspect's Ottawa house was raided last month to see if he was complying with bail conditions. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service says Mr. Harkat, a refugee from Algeria, is an Islamic extremist and member of Osama bin Laden's terrorist network.
Sixteen border service and police officers, accompanied by three sniffer dogs, spent six hours last month searching the house from top to bottom in the surprise raid. Mr. Harkat's lawyers consider the raid illegal and abusive, and the Federal Court is looking at whether the operation strayed outside the law. Court proceedings will take place in the next few months.

Jihadists Targeted in Germany: Police Raid Homes of Suspected Islamists
Police have raided over a dozen properties across Germany in a major anti-terrorism operation. Their targets were radical Muslims who they suspect were wanting to wage jihad in Germany and abroad. Police carried out anti-terror raids across Germany on Wednesday, aimed at disrupting a network of Islamists who were allegedly trying to radicalize Germans and support jihad abroad. Around 130 officers raided 16 homes, clubs and publishing houses in Berlin, Bonn, Leipzig, Sindelfingen, Neu-Ulm and Ulm early on Wednesday morning. The Munich public prosecutor's office, which is leading the investigation, said the raids were directed at Islamists who are suspected of "forming a criminal network." The nine men are German nationals aged between 25 and 47. Most of them are of immigrant background. The men are accused of trying to radicalize Muslims and non-Muslims in the period since September 2005. According to investigators, their base was a former community center called the Multicultural House in Neu-Ulm, a notorious meeting point for radical Islamists.

Muslims Gather For Terror Raid Protest
LONDON – More than 1000 Muslim protesters have gathered in east London to demonstrate against an anti-terror raid in which a man was shot. Demonstrators waved placards emblazoned with a variety of anti-government and anti-police slogans, including: "Tony Blair terrorist", "Stop police brutality", and "Blair: shoot first ask questions later". But the family of the two brothers arrested during last Friday's raid in Lansdown Road expressed their opposition to the demonstration today, urging the local community not to give it their support. Assistant Commissioner Andy Hayman said it is not the time for "conflict and anger" and urged all communities to "pull together". His words came after he apologised directly for the "disruption and inconvenience" when a house was raided in the hunt for a suspected chemical bomb last Friday. Mohammed Abdul Kahar was shot in the struggle with armed police. Police have yet to disclose what their intelligence suggested they would discover in the house – believed to be a chemical-based explosive device. But Mr Hayman said the investigation was ongoing and if police did not find it there, the search could continue elsewhere to prove or disprove the intelligence. This could mean more raids linked to the investigation. The Assistant Commissioner insisted the raid in Lansdown Road, which involved close to 250 officers – some wearing chemical protection suits – and led to a suspect being shot in the shoulder, was "necessary and proportionate". He accepted that there had been concerns about the "visual impact" of the Forest Gate operation, saying that had led police "to reflect as to whether or not we can do it differently". Police now have until Saturday to question Kahar and Abul Koyair, who are being held at London's high security Paddington Green Police Station.

After Last Week's Raid, Yvonne Ridley Says Muslims 'Should Stop Helping Police'
LONDON – Yvonne Ridley, the former journalist who was kidnapped by the Taliban, has said that Muslims in east London should stop co-operating with the police after last week's terror raid in which a man was shot. Miss Ridley, who is now an activist with George Galloway's Respect Party, said the community was being "terrorised" by the Metropolitan Police and should end all contact with the force. But a senior officer said good relations on the ground were vital to ensuring difficult issues were handled in a sensitive way. Miss Ridley was held hostage by the Taliban during the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001. She had snuck into the country to cover the war for Express Newspapers. She was released and later converted to Islam, and has been outspoken about the treatment of Muslims in Britain. "I don't think the Muslim community should communicate with the police any more until they start showing some respect to the community," she said. "There are Muslim community leaders – largely self-appointed – who regularly hold meetings with the police. "I'm afraid these leaders are confusing access to the top brass with influence. The reality is that they have neither. What we are witnessing now is the terrorisation of one community." At a meeting of the Respect Party last night in the area of the raid, she suggested non-co-operation "goes from asking the community copper for directions to passing the time of the day with the beat officers". But Commander Steve Allen, who heads territorial policing, said co-operation between communities was vital. "What is more likely to deliver effective police and community and responses to situations like this?" he asked. "Is it when we talk to each other, when we spend time trying to understand each other's perspective or is it when we call for complete disengagement?"

Muslim Reaction To Police Raid
LONDON- Muslim groups in south-east London and beyond say that there is fear and concern in their communities after the police raid on a domestic house in Forest Gate on Friday 2 June 2006. Over 240 police officers were involved in the operation, which took place under the Terrorism Act and involved the firing of one shot – wounding one of the two men subsequently arrested. The raid has been linked to intelligence information about possible chemical attacks on civilians, and the shooting aspect is being investigated by the Independent Police Complains Commission. In contrast to the tragic circumstances surrounding the killing of Jean Charles de Menezes at Stockwell tube station last year, the IPCC was given immediate access to the site, and the police sent community liaison officers out to try to reassure local people. Meanwhile the Muslim Safety Forum (MSF) said it was believed that the person concerned was seriously but not fatally wounded and would be requesting "full and prompt disclosure of information of the operation to ally community fears…The public view armed anti-terror raids with much apprehension and suspicion" Following the incident, the MSF met with the Deputy Police Commissioner Paul Stephenson and raised its concerns directly. But spokesperson Azad Ali, speaking on Channel 4 News, said that while Muslims might be anxious they recognized the need to root out criminal activity and condemned it wholeheartedly. There are also believed to have been confidential meetings with representatives of faith and community groups in the aftermath of the raid. Today some local people were praising the police for improved liaison, but others were complaining about alleged heavy handedness and questioning the use of arms. Police are still hunting for a chemical device amid widespread speculation about what it might be. Some fear that a chemical weapon could be used in an attack with similarities to the 7/7 2005 suicide bombings on the London underground and a bus, and the failed attack later that month. The two brothers accused of being involved in the chemical plot which police say sparked the raid are vigorously protesting their innocence, according to their solicitors. It has also been claimed that Mohammed Abdul Kahar, aged 23, was shot without warning in Friday's assault on the house. We hope that the lessons of Stockwell will have been learned and that the police will work more robustly in disseminating factual information, Muslim Safety Committee chair Azad Ali declared. He also warned against Islamophobia and requested that any attacks against Muslims in the area should be reported and dealt with as soon as possible. Christian leaders have offered their support and prayers for all involved in the incident, and have expressed sympathy and concern fo the fears of their Muslim neighbours. The militant Muslim Public Affairs Committee ominously declared: We can only hope the sleeping Muslims of East London will wake up and rise against the tyranny being perpetrated against our youth in the name of combating terrorism. But other Islamic leaders say that this is unnecessary and alarmist talk. Meawhile, in a sweeping raid, police arrested about a dozen men in the Toronto area on terrorism-related charges on Friday night, the reports CTV Canada. Intelligence sources have alleged that the men were part of a terrorist cell, close to carrying out attacks on one or more Canadian targets. Police seized chemicals used to make explosives and weapons. The suspects are said to be either second-generation Canadians or persons recently migrated to Canada with their families. The Malaysian authorities seized a dozen terror suspects last week, along with firearms and documents. Observers say that the three raids appear to be part of a coordinated international plan.

Lawsuits have challenged President Donald Trump's executive order that temporarily prohibits immigrants and visitors from seven countries. Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University and Neal Katyal, former acting solicitor general under President Obama, join Miles O'Brien to discuss whether Trump's policy violates the law or Constitution.
Aside from the national security concerns, the president's executive order has ignited a fierce debate on its legality and constitutionality.
We get two views, from Neal Katyal, a former acting solicitor general under President Obama, and Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University.
Jonathan, let's begin with you.
Let's talk about the law, 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act. What does it say, and how might it impact this executive order?
Well, I think it can have an impact. There's no question that the law says that you cannot discriminate on the basis of nationality or place of origin.
And that certainly helps the challengers. But like much else in this debate, much of that law has been distorted. It only takes you so far. First of all, the law doesn't apply to refugees. It applies to immigrants. It's used when you have visa issues. Also, it doesn't cover religious discrimination.
Also, in 1990, the act was amended to exclude procedural changes as a form of discrimination. And that reduces the use of the 1965 law, I think, as a serious challenge. And also it means that much of that order, as they challenge, doesn't fall under the law.
So even if one aspect might be challenged successfully, the other aspects of the order would remain. Federal courts have a longstanding policy to minimize the degree to which they strike down a piece of legislation or executive authority.
Neal, the way the Immigration and Nationality Act is written, it mentioned an individual's place of birth or place of residence. It doesn't mention religion specifically. The executive order seemed to be narrowly tailored, trying to avoid the use of the word religion.
So, in effect, did they write an executive order which would run afoul of this law?
Oh, they did. And don't be distracted by what you just heard from my friend Jonathan.
So — but let me read the law, first of all — quote — "No person shall receive any preference or priority or be discriminated against in the issuance of an immigrant visa because of nationality."
Now, this is most of what the executive order does, discriminates on the basis of nationality. Forget about the refugee provision. It's about green card holders. It's about anyone who is applying for a visa, a student, an employee of a company. You know, it applies broadly.
Now, of course, it doesn't reach religious discrimination. That's reached by the Constitution, a separate problem with the act. So you have got two different things. We have got, it violates the statute and it violates the Constitution.
And President Trump's advisers are pretending that this is 1952, in which this 1965 law didn't exist. But, unfortunately, it does. This is landmark legislation passed contemporaneously with the Voting Rights Act. And it is just blatantly illegal under that law.
All right, I feel like I need a gavel and a black robe here, gentlemen.
Let's talk about the Constitution for just a moment, if we could. First Amendment, very important amendment, as we all know, the Establishment Clause.
Jonathan, it seems on the face of it that you could make a pretty good argument that this runs afoul of the Establishment Clause, which basically says the United States doesn't get in the business of choosing religions.
Well, I think the most vulnerable aspect of the order is the one that gives preference to minority religions, and those people that were persecuted under them.
That certainly is the weakest spot. But I'm still skeptical about whether you could make a successful establishment claim. There's a lot of cases that have to be moved aside to get from here to there if you want to strike down this law.
It is true there's establishment issues, but there's also plenary power in the hands of a president.
All right, so the administration is trying to be very clear about saying this is not a Muslim ban.
But let's listen to candidate Trump December a year ago, when he first rolled out this idea.
RUDY GIULIANI (R), Former Mayor of New York: We focused on, instead religion, danger. It's not based on religion. It's based on places where there are substantial evidence that people are sending terrorists into our country.
OK, counselor, so you're arguing this case. Are those comments admissible?
Absolutely. And here's the thing.
When I was — my last job was the chief litigation officer for the federal government. And I made — I made — took use of all the precedents that Jonathan was talking about broad power in immigration.
Nothing extends as far as what the president has done. This is religious discrimination. And here's what the Supreme Court has said about that — quote — "The clearest command of the First Amendment is that one religious denomination can't be officially preferred to another."
This executive order prefers Christians to Muslims. You have got it. The president himself said so contemporaneously when he issued the executive order to the Christian Broadcast Network. This is just un-American and unconstitutional.
Jonathan, then-candidate Trump and his adviser, Rudy Giuliani, more recently, did they undermine their own case?
Well, they certainly undermined their case.
I mean, the Justice Department attorneys are in fetal positions every time someone like this speaks about the purpose of a law. But the longstanding view of the Justice Department has been what legislators say about a law as to the motivation of the law is not controlling.
I have been in cases where the Justice Department has maintained that position, that you have to look at the law as to whether it's lawful or constitutional. The court doesn't make assumptions about — or speculation about the motivations behind the law. If the law has an otherwise bona fide purpose, the courts tend to go with that.
I don't see a court, any court saying that what a candidate said on the trail is going to be material in terms of whether this law is struck down. And I'm surprised that Neal even suggests that.
I have been in cases where those types of arguments have been raised, and courts have shot it down. For example, what if — I mean, Trump clearly said that. But he then gave this law to someone to draft, and they came back with a law that is not a Muslim ban.
Now, I don't like the law, but I don't think any court is going to look at this law and say it's a Muslim ban, because it's not. There's plenty to object about this law without making it something it's not. It doesn't ban all Muslims.
Now, I know people don't like to say that because they — sort of like Richard III, you want to think of your enemies as worse than they are. You don't have to think about this law as worse than it is. It is not a Muslim ban on a legal basis.
But, if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, et cetera, isn't this legal parsing that they have come to this executive order? And when you look at the context and the comments, you have to come to the conclusion that at least religion was on their minds in some fashion.
Oh, religion was more than on their minds. I think Jonathan is just wrong.
This is a First Amendment religion challenge in which the motivations of the law will be looked to, and courts do so. And that's particularly underscored here, because what has the new defense of this law been by the White House? It's, oh, we're not focused on religion. We're focused on security.
All right, much to discuss here.
Just in a word, going to the Supreme Court? Will this end up at the Supreme Court?
No, I think this is indefensible, and I think that the Justice Department, after they lose in district court after district court, won't bring this even to the Court of Appeals. I certainly wouldn't have if I were in the government.
It could go to the Supreme Court, but you have to be careful what you ask for.
We're going to get a new nominee to that court, and might not be the type of court you want to appeal this case, if you're with the ACLU.
Neal Katyal, Jonathan Turley, thank you both very much.

3.5 Without the prior written consent of Kramp, Supplier is not permitted to deliver Products that deviate from that which has been agreed.
3.6 Supplier is obliged to present a delivery document to Kramp upon delivery of goods.

Supplier shall extend his full cooperation to this end. No rights can be derived by Supplier from the fact that an inspection has been carried out, and the results of an inspection shall not serve as an acknowledgement that the Products are in compliance with the Agreement.
Article 4. Packaging
4.1 The Products to be delivered must be properly packaged and secured and transported in such a way that they reach their destination in good condition. If the delivered Products have not been packaged properly, Supplier shall be liable for the damage arising as a result of or in connection with this, including damage to the delivered Products themselves.
4.2 All costs of packaging the Products shall be borne by Supplier, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing.
4.3 Packaging material and other expedients made available by Kramp for the purposes of transporting or moving the Products and that, by virtue of their nature or according to information from Kramp, are suitable or intended for reuse will remain the property of Kramp. These must be returned to Kramp at Supplier's expense no later than one month after Kramp has made these available to Supplier.
Article 5. Transfer of ownership and acceptance
5.1 Ownership of the Products delivered will pass to Kramp at the time of delivery or once the Products have been delivered to the agreed delivery location, unless the Products are not in compliance with the Agreement.
5.2 Receipt of the Products by Kramp will not preclude any subsequent claim of default in terms of the Products delivered and any subsequent claim relating to Supplier not fulfilling his obligations in the Agreement in another manner. Handling, processing, using or forwarding the Products do not detract from this entitlement.
Article 6. Pricing, invoicing and payment
6.1 The price to be paid by Kramp for the Products shall be the price agreed in the Agreement or, where no pricing is stated in the Agreement, the price Supplier has most recently provided to Kramp in writing. Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, the price to be paid by Kramp for the Products after the Agreement comes into effect will be fixed and cannot be changed.

6.3 Supplier shall ensure that Kramp receives an invoice at the address specified by Kramp for the Products supplied within 30 days of delivery of the Products at the agreed prices, stating the date and the details from the Agreement on the basis of which the Products have been delivered, the amount of VAT as well as any other information that is necessary or required by Kramp.
6.4 Kramp shall not be held to payment until Supplier has fulfilled all his obligations arising from the Agreement accurately and in a timely fashion. Kramp shall be entitled to suspend payment where Supplier has not fulfilled his obligations from the Agreement or has not done so fully or in a timely fashion. Payment on the part of Kramp shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgement of any obligation from the Agreement having been fulfilled by Supplier.
6.5 Payment shall be made in accordance with the agreed payment term upon receipt and approval of the invoice from Supplier. If no other payment term has been agreed, then a payment term of 60 days from date of invoice shall apply.
6.6 Kramp is authorised to offset debts to Supplier against claims issued to Supplier.
Article 7. Compliance, quality, documentation, liability and insurance
7.1 Any instance of Supplier exceeding deadlines agreed upon between Kramp and Supplier for the purposes of Supplier's compliance with his obligations will lead to Supplier being in default without formal notice, unless agreement to the contrary exists in writing.
7.2 If Supplier knows or suspects that he will not fulfill or be able to fulfill his obligations arising from the Agreement, or will not do so fully or in a timely fashion, then he must provide Kramp with written notification of this as soon as possible, stating the reasons.
7.3 Supplier is responsible for ensuring that the Products delivered have the properties that Kramp is entitled to expect them to have on the basis of the Agreement, that they are free of defects and fit for the purpose for which they are intended. If no further detailed description of the requirements to which the Products are subject has been given or agreed upon, they must in any case be of a good standard of quality and at the very least satisfy the usual requirements of fitness for the intended function or application, durability, finish and all statutory requirements and customary provisions in relation to quality, health and safety, and environmental considerations.
7.4 Irrespective of whether expressly agreed, Supplier's obligations of supply to Kramp shall in all cases include clear and adequate written documentation pertaining to the safety, properties and options for use of the Products to be delivered (including but not limited to: instruction manuals, reports on inspections, approval and checks, certificates and proofs of warranty) in the language or languages of the expected end users of the Products or the language or languages that have been agreed upon.
7.5 If the Products do not satisfy the requirements specified in 7.3 and 7.4 of this article, then Kramp shall be entitled to dissolve this Agreement or demand that Supplier ensure that the Products are made to satisfy the requirements within a reasonable time frame to be set by Kramp. With regard to the latter, Kramp shall be entitled to choose between repair or replacement by new Products.
7.6 Supplier is liable for all damage arising as a result of or in connection with Products not satisfying that which is specified in 7.3 and 7.4 of this article and shall indemnify Kramp from all liability for third parties.
7.7 If Supplier can be held culpable for failure to comply with his obligations arising from the Agreement, Kramp shall be entitled to hold Supplier liable for any damage incurred or to be incurred by Kramp.
7.8 Supplier is obliged to take out appropriate insurance against liability and risks such as those described in this article, including but not limited to adequate cover against product liability. Supplier is obliged to present the insurance policy and proof of payment of the premium to Kramp upon Kramp's first request to do so.
Article 8. Warranty
8.1 An agreed warranty shall in all cases entail Supplier having to remedy any deficiency Kramp reports to Supplier as soon as possible, with the costs for this, including attendant costs, being borne by Supplier. If no other term has been agreed, then a term of two months shall apply within which Kramp must submit any warranty claim. This term will commence from the moment Kramp becomes aware of a fact or circumstance that will lead to a breach of the warranty. Where a breach is remedied, the warranty will come back into effect for the full remainder of the warranty period.
8.2 The provisions of this article are without prejudice to all other rights that Kramp is entitled to derive from a failure on the part of Supplier to fulfill his obligations arising from this Agreement, both during and subsequent to the warranty period.
8.3 In addition to any other warranty obligations, Supplier guarantees that the Products delivered will be free from any charge or restriction that Kramp has not accepted expressly in writing. Examples of such charges or restrictions include intellectual property rights applicable to the Products which restrict the options for use or resale of the Products. Supplier indemnifies Kramp against the consequences of such charges or restrictions.
Article 9. Force majeure
9.1 In the event of force majeure, Supplier shall provide Kramp with written notification to this effect along with a description of the cause of the force majeure immediately after this cause has occurred. In such cases, Kramp shall be entitled, without being obliged to compensate Supplier or reimburse any expenses, to choose between:
a) Granting Supplier reasonable postponement of the term for the purposes of him fulfilling his obligations.

A flattering silhouette with a twist front detail, looks gorgeous at every stage of your pregnancy and after. Luxe jersey fabric lends itself to a stylish top that screams sophistication and allows plenty of room to grow, and skims comfortably over your figure after baby arrives. Features nursing friendly pull aside access and nursing friendly fabric is easy to clean and wrinkle resistant.
Very cute top. One complaint is that it is not super long so it may not work well in later months of pregnancy.
Great neckline, a little short in the body. Definitely too short to wear while pregnant.
Best nursing top I have found; comfortable, flattering, and keeps its shape perfectly.
A little bit tighter than other tops of the same size but very good quality.


BEDC Electricity Plc. (BEDC) has further demonstrated its commitment to reducing electrical accidents among school children and tampering with electricity equipment as it continued with its Safety Sensitization campaigns in primary and secondary schools with a donation of over 20,000 exercise books with safety tips to some schools in Edo state. The safety sensitization is part of the BEDC Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme.
Speaking during the sensitization campaign held at Eyean Secondary School in Ikpoba Okha Local Government Area of Edo state, recently, Health, Environment and Safety Manager of BEDC, Mr. Gilbert Nweke educated the students on the dangers resulting from unsafe acts such as tampering with electrical installations, living and trading under high tension overhead lines, overcrowded electrical sockets, stepping/ touching lines (electrical wires) and playing near distribution sub- stations etc.
The Principal, Eyean Secondary school, Mr. P.K Idemudia, who was elated at the exercise expressed appreciation to BEDC for the visit, saying: " this is a good innovation by BEDC, it is the first time we are witnessing this campaign from any electricity service providers in the country,".
She further stated that as part of give back to the society, selected schools will get educational materials from BEDC which includes branded exercise books and snapper frames inscribed with safety tips, safety message, amongst other items.
"In addition to the safety campaign, BEDC will also commence the formation of energy clubs called 'Joules' in secondary schools. The growth of Joules club will metamorphose into a debate competition among member schools. The winners of the competition will in turn become brand ambassadors of BEDC.
"The objectives of the Joules clubs is to groom secondary students to take up careers in the electricity industry and to boost the current drive by BEDC and other Discos to tackle manpower gap in the power sector," she added.
It will be recalled that BEDC had earlier visited some primary and secondary schools in Edo state which included those in; Ogbe, Oliha, Iyase Ugbekun, Ologbosere, Isohan, Ogenerie primary schools and in addition to Imaguero Secondary School.
The sensitization programme had commenced with visits to seven primary schools in Benin City, Edo state where over 10,000 safety exercise books and fliers were distributed to primary school pupils who were also sensitized on dangers of electricity, safety tips and dos and don'ts when using electricity. BEDC says the exercise is on-going as more schools in BEDC franchise states will also be visited in due course.

DAVID BUCHANAN'S RUN SET TO COME TO AN END
Elliot Stonhill
All the team news ahead of Bury v Northampton Town
David Buchanan's run of 106 consecutive appearances for Northampton Town will come to an end on Saturday.
Buchanan and John-Joe O'Toole will miss this weekend's trip to Bury but Michael Smith is set to return to the squad after recovering from a leg injury.
Buchanan and O'Toole are both set to serve a one-match ban after being sent off in Monday's draw with Shrewsbury.
"Michael will be back for Bury," confirmed boss Justin Edinburgh.
"Buchs and John-Joe have been excellent for us but it's an opportunity for others to come in and put in a performance to show me what their value is to the football club.
"Aaron Phillips did well on Monday and we will look at that. It's not always easy when you have to switch sides but if called upon I'm sure he will come in and do a job.
"Shaun McWilliams is in the forefront of my mind and he will certainly come into my thinking for Saturday. We are bedding him in and the big thing for me with young players these days is keeping them grounded.
"He's got to keep working hard and as long as he keeps doing what he has been then he's got a chance."

Liverpool launch 2020-21 home kit… I'm sure it will grow on me
For the past few months leaked photos have emerged online of Liverpool's debut Nike home kit for 2020-21. If you had been looking on eBay, there were even some sellers already advertising the new shirt — whether knockoffs or not — making today's launch a bit subdued for those that had seen them.
The new season marks the first of Liverpool's incredible deal with Nike that could be worth as much as £100 million a year as long as royalties and certain sales marks are achieved.
Liverpool's last three seasons with New Balance as the kit manufacturer were brilliant with the America company getting the team's home and away shirts spot on.
The debut from Nike certainly leaves something to be desired. The shirt adds green to the collar and sleeves while placing white stripes down the torso. This season's shirt has done away with the yellow/gold badge and accent. In its place is white. The red is also a lighter shade than in the last few seasons under New Balance.
While the kit doesn't look terrible it just doesn't feel like a solid debut from America's premier sportswear company. It is nice to see Nike use inspiration from Liverpool's past. The green collar and sleeves is a callback to the 1993-94 top.
I'm not the only one to be disappointed. Fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on the new designs.
Bit controversial being a Liverpool fan, but the new Nike #LFCkit is a bit of a let down.
The green just doesn't do it for me.

I'm sure the new kit will grow on me. I was just such a fan of the New Balance era. At least the club didn't go back to Adidas.
Are these the away and third kits?

The Uncubed team is basking in the sunshine after last week's HR Uncubed and reflecting upon a fantastic conference.
Jonathan Jackson, (top left), Co-Founder and Head of Corporate Brand of Blavity, knocked it out of the park in his fireside chat with Uncubed COO, Brian Shoicket. Jonathan discussed the urgent need to re-tell the story of HR and present its image as a benevolent one in today's workplace environment.
Jay Williams (top right), author and media personality, delivered a humbling closing keynote address, alongside Uncubed co-founder & CCO, Tarek Pertew. His thought-provoking remarks about overcoming a career setback prompted the audience to re-evaluate their strengths and welcome the idea of change.
Maryann Lee Mathew (bottom left), Head of Research at Potentialpark, provided an engaging discussion about understanding data and improving the candidate experience. The packed room enjoyed her insights on mobile recruiting.
Katherine Merrill (bottom right), Director of People Operations at Kargo, dazzled the crowd (with her co-presenter, Terrence Agbi, of United Technologies) with her innovative, unorthodox strategies to bring in new talent to a team.
Feel free to share your memorable moments from HR Uncubed on social. We'd love to engage with you.
If you were unable to make it this year, Uncubed has you covered. We're planning more curated HR events in the near future. Stay tuned for more information soon!
And, if you're looking for a little fun afternoon reading about jobs (other than the news about the record-low unemployment rate), give this one a spin.
Please reach out to me with any events-related questions and enjoy your day!

Putting Sustainability into Practice with Everleaves
The NIST education has gradually shifted over the past several years as our community has become increasingly aware of the importance of engaging with other communities to work toward shared solutions for local and global issues, and the need for more sustainable practices. More than ever, it's critical that organizations work not solely for their own betterment, but also for the needs of future generations.
In many cases this drive to become a more conscientious school does not come from leadership or teachers, but from our students themselves. Whether through plastic reduction or social entrepreneurship, they identify ways to contribute individually and collectively to these efforts. One such student was recently recognized in The Nation and other publications for the launch of his own business.
Polpong (Much) P. in Year 12 created Everleaves with the intention of both supporting pineapple farmers in Prachuap Khiri Khan, a province in southern Thailand. His method for transforming pineapple leaves into paper provides an alternative for farmers in selling a byproduct that otherwise has limited uses: "Not only does this reduce the pollution that is emitted from the production of alternative materials, but it adds economic value to these pineapple leaves which would have been otherwise incinerated and wasted."
Through the creative use of these leaves, Much has enabled farmers to dramatically increase their income while also filling a niche market demand. More importantly, he has implemented a model that has produced similar results at NIST: one that relies on collaboration between differing communities through the perspective of shared learning. By approaching issues from the perspective of a learner, actively seeking to understand the needs of others and working with them to develop solutions, NIST students have continued to make a positive impact throughout Thailand and the greater region.
Congratulations, Much, and we look forward to seeing your products spread even further!

Loaded with beefy, savory, holiday goodness this seitan roast is boiled first and then baked to carmelize the outer layer and bring out the best it has to offer. Filled with holiday herbs and roasted with love this seitan is as prepared as easy as: mix, knead, boil, bake and serve! Perfect made the night before your holiday feast, or served hot from the oven.
+ 4 cups of Vegetable Broth to simmer the Seitan in.
Mix together your dry ingredients in one bowl and your wet ingredients in a second bowl.
Combine the wet with the dry and knead into a "dough".
Knead this dough for about 5 minutes or until the gluten is activated.
Bring about 4 cups of vegetable broth to a simmer on medium-high (just enough to fully submerge your seitan roast.
Most recipes call for you to wrap your seitan in plastic wrap before simmering, but that's only to keep the shape and we find that we like ours rustic and full of vegetable brothy flavour.
Simply roll your seitan dough into a log and simmer in the covered pot of vegetable broth for 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes preheat your oven to 350°F and bake the seitan on a baking tray for 20 minutes, flipping it after 10 minutes.

This page compares SVC (Switched Virtual Circuit) vs PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit) and mentions difference between SVC (Switched Virtual Circuit) and PVC (Permanent Virtual Circuit). We will understand the concepts of SVC and PVC with respect to ATM/Frame Relay based networks.
Virtual Circuit: The circuit made between two stations at the start of communication using packet switching service is referred as Virtual Circuit. Virtual circuit can have bi-directional communication path between two DTEs or between DTE and DCE. Each of the paths in virtual circuits are identified by unique DLCI field. DLCI is the short form of Data Link Connection Identifier.
More than one virtual circuits are multiplexed on single physical circuit connection for transmission over network. This reduces network complexity and cost of network equipments. Refer difference between circuit switching and packet switching. circuit switching vs packet switching➤.
• Switched Virtual Circuits (SVCs) are temporary connections created for the purpose of information transfer. There are four steps to establish SVC connection viz. call setup, data transfer, Idle and call termination.
• Once the virtual circuit is cleared, it has to be re-establish in order to transmit any further data.
• As the circuit is not fixed (i.e. not open) all the time, the cost to use the SVC service is less. It is established on need basis in order to transmit data as required.
• Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs) are permanent connections established for the sole purpose of frequent as well as consistent data transfer.
• As it is like leased line, PVC connection do not require to be be established using call setup or termination states. PVC will be either in data transfer mode or in IDle mode.
• In data transfer mode, data is transmitted between two DTE devices over virtual circuit path.
• In Idle mode, connection between DTEs is available but data transfer is not progressing.
• Unlike Switched Virtual Circuit, PVCs are not terminated during idle state.
• As this type of virtual circuit connection is permanent, data transfer can take place as soon as it is ready to transmit.

John Ward November 17, 2020 Cultural US Civil War
A J C Boone
In this shocking and yet brilliantly observed post, AJC Boone deconstructs the Goebbelsian propaganda in play thoroughout contemporary America, gripping the reader throughout with the evidence behind her fears. She examines the creation of blinkered catechism and vicious demonisation, suggesting with terrifying credibility that violent frustration and social breakdown in the US have moved from Hollywood future-fi to genuine probability.
Full disclosure: I am a housewife. My work-day is a tissue of trivial, repetitive tasks of the sort given to POWs to break their morale. However, the upside is that it gives me time to watch the passing political parade in the US and UK with a beady-eyed intensity that people with proper jobs can't afford. I do notice a lot. (A hat-tip in advance to the beady-eyed among you who have noticed as much or more — a challenge to essayists these days is pitching arguments to abipolar audience.)
One of the paradoxes of our age is that the internet information-pool, social media connectivity, 24-hour news channels, and the peculiar flavour of advertising that is popular today weave the illusion that our societies are vast, lucid, and egalitarian. Our industrial "elites" wear hoodiesand ride skateboards to yoga class; our political "elites" roll up their sleeves and share recipes and hair-do fails on Tik-Tok. We're all in this together. Except that we aren't.
And at the risk of appearing to be that person windmilling his arms while ranting at the #46 bus stop, I offer that it looks to me (and not only to me) as if some kind of bell-dome of control and subjugation were lowering over our heads. There is a split as profound as that between the damnèd peasant toiler and the kings with Divine Right separating those who will be under the bell-dome and those whose will remain outside of it.
I would like to be on record as acknowledging that this sounds insane to anyone not paying much attention. Though in the last 72 hours, among those who are paying attention, there has been a growing roar of angry chatter on social media about The Great Reset (and how the great U-turn against democracy — against Brexit, against Trump, against any sort of restraint and common sense inCOVID policy — looks to be acting as its midwife).
The question lurking beneath the floorboards of every dystopian nightmare, whether it's Winston Smith's Oceania, the Moscow courts trying Kamenev and Zinoviev, or the railroad platforms where cattle-cars decant orderly lines of Jewish people holding their suitcase in one hand and their child's hand in the other — how in the hell did we get here? — looms before us right now.
Since nightmare scenarios are complex, Rome wasn't levelled in a day after all, I will share with you an abbreviated version of the four years of connect-the-dots that spells out "civil war" to me.
Propaganda works.
My dots start on a personal note. In the summer of 2016, I was visiting the northern California home where I grew up in the 1970s, where we siblings try to coordinate travel from far-flung corners to overlap at least once a year. The dinner table conversation turned to the upcoming presidential election. Hillary Clinton looked sure to win; and Donald Trump, a fixture on the landscape since the 1980s, with his pugilistic New York-style, a backer of boxing and wrestling matches, golf, beauty pageants, and casinos, not to mention a reality-tv show I never watched, represented nothing I found appealing. I had therefore not paid much attention to the race.
But when my sisters were puzzling over what sort of sicko could possibly be drawn to him, I suggested that maybe Trump represented to his supporters liberation from the straitjacket of political correctness. He gave them permission, by doing it himself, to say what they wanted to say but had been bullied out of saying.
"Like 'n-…'?" my sibling suggested, in a voice full of disgust.
This floored me. Why, of all the words in the English language, would anyone suppose Trump or his supporters crave saying that word? A culturo-anthropological note: the n-word is literally not in the vocabulary of Californians. People just never use it. I have never heard it pronounced, nor heard of it being used through friends, acquaintances, etc. The "n-word," however casually ubiquitous it might be in the inner-city lexicon, registers for white, middle-class Americans as a cloven hoof and forked tail. My sister's instant recourse to it struck me, therefore, as bizarre and significant.
In hindsight, having seen the subsequent cycling and recycling of three basic media slurs against Donald Trump – Russian agent, white supremacist, and ill ("25th Amendment") – I suspect that the reason my sister so reflexively associated Trump support with racist kryptonite is that brainwash of enormous quantity, intensity, and sophistication that linked Trump and "racism"had already been sluicing over the American public in the months before the 2016 election took place. In his four decades in the public eye, Donald Trump had been many things, but there is a consultable public record showing "racist" wasn't one of them, until the Establishment needed it to be.
I myself have not lived much in the US since 1990. My mother, with whom I have always had an exceptionally positive, "morally synchronised" relationship, now lies across the ideational divide.We explicitly avoid political discussions, but while skirting a political topic, she has often said"Well, you don't live here," by which she means to de-escalate: let's put the cordon sanitaire across the Atlantic, and you can have jurisdiction over your half, and I'll have it over mine. I now think she is correct about "not living here" mattering, insofar as my objectivity, such as it is, has not been subject to the relentless psychological bombardment going on in the US. The Establishment has clearly seen it necessary to groom the public. The coming radical change might otherwise startle the horses.
My California family members represent a major American demographic. They are college-educated, materially-secure, world-travelled, and news-consuming. They are also completely uninterested in a political conversation that doesn't begin with the conclusion that Donald Trump is a monster bent on destroying America.
But — and here's where the soupçon of civil war takes the shape of an implacable divide (don't forget the eldest son of "Founding Father" Benjamin Franklin was exiled to Britain as a Loyalist) I also have close relatives who have been praying for Donald Trump to remain in office another four years. One teaches fine arts in a midwestern university town; she keeps schtum on politics, as university students and faculty even in the Midwest literally shun her perspective.
Another Trump-supporting relative lives in one of America's once-great cities, with their worldclass orchestras and art museums, that were turned into the urban equivalent of a bleached coral reef in the last spasm of misguided "social justice" and de-industrialisation in the 1970s (Buffalo, Cleveland, St Louis, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Detroit…) He wrote me: "I've registered to be a poll-watcher to stop them changing ballots; I'm sending money to the RNC and Trump's reelection fund. Any other ideas about what I can do?"
A third is a born-again Evangelical. When I told him how shocked I was by the ostracism and vitriol directed at anyone presuming to defend Trump even from irrational and uninformed attack, he replied: "Welcome to my world."
A meme that has gotten considerable mileage on social media is a cartoon dog sitting at a table,oblivious to a room full of flames, saying "This is fine." While my California relatives seethed about Donald Trump's pronouncements against the ills that follow from open borders and sanctuary cities, they reacted with vagueness and befuddlement to my question about Bambi Larson, a February 2019 Silicon Valley victim of a home intruder who sliced her to death with a box cutter. Larson's killer was a multiple deportee from Mexico, with a string of violent offences to his credit, now out and about in the "sanctuary" county of Santa Clara. Larson was killed in her home, which is four miles from my parents' home and just blocks from where they do the weekly shopping. Bambi was my sister's high school classmate.
The family's younger generation is also picking up cues and developing the resultant idiosyncratic outrage. In Facebook exchanges, one youngster raged about police violence against "medics" during violent summer demonstrations; I suggested that normally police work hand-in-glove with emergency services, so had she considered that the "medics" were not what they purported to be? ("Street Medic Guide" gives advice on the "Paper Revolution" website.)
Another responded to my mention of ongoing (to this day) nightly destruction by rioters in Portland, Oregon, as if this were unknown to him. My links to Andy Ngo's shocking video reportage on it met with the dismissal that Ngo must be agenda-driven.
Unquestionably the ambient level of violence has risen since the summer of mayhem licensed by the death of George Floyd. Regular crime statistics in multiple cities have climbed over last year's by double – and even triple- digit percentages. Cities like Minneapolis, where militant city council members dramatically strode ahead to "defund the police", are now hiring security services to try to fill the gap. Gun sales have sky-rocketed since the summer, and exit polls seem to show suburban white females constituting a measurable portion of the "shy Trump voter."
A ludicrously implausible election result — with vote tallies in black urban centres topping Barack Obama's for the basement-bound "old white guy"? — and the stifling and curtailing of its review, will not help matters.
Salubrious Hatred
I re-read Orwell's "1984" in June 2019, having read it first 40 years ago. Something striking that I'd forgotten was quite how central and overwhelming the dystopian regime's use of visceralhatred was. Hatred can be manufactured when and where needed, and functions in a handy, all-purpose way, like duct-tape or bicarbonate of soda. The targets of hate can easily be expanded by association, as pins can be magnetised. Within the first paragraphs, the novel's hero Winston Smith recalls a recent night at the cinema where the audience had roared in mirth at footage of helicopters shooting the enemy (men, women, children) floundering in the sea.Within the first few pages, we see the office Two Minutes Hate, which has even the mostmild-mannered and unassuming colleagues panting and gurgling with fury and hurling things at a screen projection of the state's arch-enemy, who may not even exist.
Hate campaigns are labour-saving for the opinion-shaping professionals. Once a person or thing is demonised, every subsequent news "story" about him or her or it will break as desired in the public's imagination. Reportage never subsequently needs to analyse any charge, nor make any provable, or even particularly clear or coherent, allegation; it is enough to raise a smell, to call something "troubling" or "concerning".
The US impeachment ball got rolling with a perfectly normal telephone conversation bogusly branded "inappropriate." Experts in persuasion know that if people are given hints from which they themselves must formulate a conclusion, then that conclusion will be nigh on unshiftable.
Any obstacle to the US and UK Establishment's favoured Narratives is now disabled with the charge of being racist, sexist, xenophobic, homophobic, Russian, nazi, or simply "dangerous". The traditional media's total connivance has transformed the court of public opinion into a kangaroo court. And, as in kangaroo courts everywhere, the accusations are so outlandish and unfounded that the disbelieving will be neutralised by dumb incredulity, while the company men and fools scramble to assimilate the latest "2+2=5" into their worldview.
An alarming pivotal shift in the use of hate campaigns is seeing them this year deployed not only against fallible mortals, but also against the deathless principles that undergird a democratic society. The reliable Establishment mouthpieces of the Washington Post, the New York Times , and The Atlantic have each carried stories this year to demonise the very notion of free speech, arguing that free speech is a dangerous vector for spreading hate speech, and in The Atlantic's case to explicitly recommend a Chinese approach to what truth the public is allowed to entertain and share.
This week (November 9 and 11) the Telegraph and the Times are running GCHQ's campaign to convince the public that expression of scepticism about the safety of (particularlyCOVID-related) vaccines is 1) hostile Russian disinfo, and 2) should be criminalised.I came across two interesting archival pieces showing the juggernaut career of the hate-campaign in the Democratic Party. Here in one of Clinton campaign head John Podesta's wikileaked email chains, dated 16 August, 2015, donor Catherine Hand tries to give Podesta some friendly advice:
As we can see from his driving a hate campaign just this August against the idea of a traditional Election Night (see first page), Podesta was not remotely interested in that advice. The Democrats have not dropped demonisation as an obsolete artifact of the 1980s; in 2015 they were just getting started.
Eight years earlier, a review of two (sympathetic) 2007 biographies of Hillary Clinton shows machiavellian/Alinskyite embrace of demonisation-as-a-tactic had startled the Beltway's OldGuard in 1993:
The problem today is that there is no one in the Democratic centre or UniParty, in the Establishment – that has made Donald Trump (and Brexit, mutatis mutandis) its mortal enemy, to stand up against "arrogance, disdain, hypocrisy and the assumption that people with questions are enemies". That pantheon of values is, to coin a phrase, the New Normal.
The rise of the hate campaign as the central tool of the Establishment signals an existentialvictory of deceit over truth-telling. It signals the death of "acting in good faith" which is a sine qua non for the gentle adversarialism that is democratic self-governance. In short, it makes democracy impossible.
I was initially intending to list other "dots" I have connected in the last fours years, from the gross and serial failures of the executive branch to comply with constitutionally-mandated congressional oversight, to the burlesque of congressional impeachment of a president without actual evidence of any crime, to the insane efforts of the judicial branch to continue a blatantly political persecution when even the state prosecutor is too embarrassed to do so; to the break-down of command between the nation's commander-in-chief and the top-brass of the US military. But adding "constitutional crisis" to "the impossibility of democracy" seems like overkill.
Meanwhile, the media press on with their alternative reality that Biden's victory is the sale-we-should-be-talking-past. Biden will use a Delaware beach home as his "Summer WhiteHouse," it is newly reported in the New York Post, as the New York Times (repeat: the NewYork Times) cheerfully covers the Biden family pets as the "First Dogs".
The civil war is not only upon us, it may actually be over. Spoiler alert: the bad guys won and no shot was fired in defense of the principles of liberty and self-government.

I had no idea that a bland housewife could be so euphamistically delightful. Please give us more
ReluctantSwede on November 18, 2020 at 3:36 pm
Smart, principled, articulate and yet modest when she says she is a housewife, as if that is something that should maybe exclude her from being listened to in a serious manner.
Well housewives perform one of the most, if not the most important function in our society, bringing stability to the home.
But my goodness does this lady have some intellect.
I myself enjoy a bit of a discussion about many things, politics being one of them.
Some might say I go on a bit and I probably do, could blame it on age but I've always been the same.
But it would take more intelligence and speed of thought than I have to engage in discussion with her and not come away realising I have been thoroughly put in my place and outclassed by a superior intellect.
Why can't we have people like her running the government?
Then we might have a stab at a decent quality of life for us all.

What do Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina and Michigan have in common? They are all key battleground States who stopped counting votes on election night when Donald Trump was clearly winning. No reason given, never happened before. Donald Trump and his supporters deserve to know why. If counting was stopped in a British election, wouldn't you want to know why?
The will-fully blind BBC saw nothing suspicious and declared that there was no election fraud. A bit like they saw nothing suspicious about Jimmy Saville.
countignatieff on November 18, 2020 at 12:18 pm
Everything that 'they' tell us is the reversal of what they say:
Black Lives Matter, is a vicious globally funded hate campaign, whose aim is to atomise, and divide&rule.
The Green Movement, hates the hill farmer, the wild moors, and would replace meadowland with solar panels, and cover our fells with sitka spruce (good profits for teh wealthy). It transfers money and power from the poor to the rich.
Covid, isn't stopped by masks, nor shutting pubs, it is rarely lethal, and is just an excuse for control and coercion of populations who have stood up, or might stand up, to the globalist overlords.
The Chinese Communist Party, might be friends with the globalists, but they are a threat to us, our way of life, and our friends and family.
President Trump, is an unusual character but he represents freedom, and liberty, in a way that no other western leader does.
The Presidential Election, was clearly rigged, and their is much evidence to support that claim.
…..There is one exception though, the World Economic Forum, have been honest and open about their plans to control the world through The Great Reset, and have published those plans on their own website.

Reblogged this on Citizens.
Explanation for the hatred. Ruling elites always hate everyone else, until recently held in check by democracy. But since the globalists hi-jacked the Democrats, and thanks to Blair Labour became a party of the middle class, another set of haters of the working class, ordinary people have been left with nowhere else to go except the anti-establishment route = Trump and Brexit. Confronting the Establishment provokes rage and the middle class has been given the green light to vent and the weapons to use. If people would just realise that our rulers are corrupt and lead people astray and to their own detriment – but the middle classes were always the dupes of cults and con artists. They over estimate their own intelligence, make the mistake that the superiors they suck up to value their merit and they are not grounded pragmatists as the working class.

BGCT2VA on November 17, 2020 at 9:40 pm
I agree with Ms. Boone's assessment of our present situation and how we got here. However, perhaps through naivety, I don't fee that all is lost – just yet. If Mr. Trump ultimately loses this election all bets are off as to what will happen. But, I also don't agree that not only is the Civil War upon us but also that it has been lost without a shot. I sincerely pray and hope a civil war does not reoccur in this country because if it does shots will, I'm afraid, be fired.
One other point on which I'd be interested in Ms Boone's insight is the role that religious institutions played in this deterioration of the U.S. and likely Europe as well.

A fine piece of writing, very fine indeed.

Sxlander on November 17, 2020 at 8:40 pm
As Mark Steyn ruefully commented recently, "There was a point when I was scared that there would be a Civil War, now I'm afraid that there won't be."
For me, what has concerned me is that the election fraud, the failure of the Intelligence policing agencies to do their duty and the total breakdown of civil society in many cities has been so easily covered up by the main stream and social media outlets that many people are simply not seeing the apparatus of a one party dictatorship being established. If they get away with this now it will be impossible to get it back by democratic means.
Wally Jumblatt on November 17, 2020 at 8:33 pm
Yup, the 2-minute daily hate is just around the corner
boomrx on November 17, 2020 at 8:25 pm
It really is a nightmare. So blatant the fraud, and then they can just laugh in our faces, daring us to do something about it. The powder keg could ignite any moment. We have descended into hell, that place without reason that we only ever used to hear of in the axiom. We have indeed debarked from the cattle cars with out children and are wondering which queue Dr. Mengele is going to tell us to fall in line to.

The very first time I really accepted that real journalism had died and been replaced by nodding singers of the school song who simply nodded their heads affirmatively at the right time just to emphasise their devotion to whatever it was they were expected to approve of, came when Andrew Marr interviewed Macron and he asked a question relating to the French being able to hold their own referendum on their future membership of the European Union.
The tiny insignificant Boniparte pip squeak Macron, who I'm convinced has yet to hit puberty and see his testicals drop, answered quite directly. He said, 'No. the French people would probably vote to Leave like the British', and therefore he would never allow his people a choice through the ballot box.
Thereafter, despite the enormity of what he'd just said and the shock I felt after my ears directed these words to the right side of my temporal lobe, the part of my brain that digests and thinks things through, my concluding thought was, 'Macron is going to get roasted by the media tomorrow morning.'
Tw'as an incredible thing to say to someone who we all might consider to be one of our finest journalistic minds, and yet, Marr didn't pursue the comment, he totally ignored it and thereafter, when tomorrow arrived, not a single bloody thing was aired from the media reporting upon Macron's dictatorial stance toward his own citizens. It never happened. It might as well have never been said. Not one media outlet picked up on it. It simply died the very same day.
And so this in part explains why Goebellistic propaganda is alive and well and flourishing in the West. So deeply has the social engineering programme upon us all now took hold upon our own individual sovereignty, we lie to pollsters because of our personal shame in telling our truth. Trump, Brexit, voting Conservative all now equate to an evil, where's the opposite proves you to be good and kind.
And it all trickles down into Ale Houses, my favourite place, where if we're discussing something like Black Lives Matter, Kneeling, Unconscious Bias, White Privilege or the Decapitation of a Cartoonist, we begin our opinion by first saying, 'I'm not being racist but……', that's said just in case you happen to say something that might offend the one in a hundred thousand and at least before you get carted off to see the Magistrate your position in the Dock might be mitigated somewhat because you did indeed say, 'I'm not being racist but'.
Same with all the other current popular ideologies. Whether it's Transgender, Climate Change, Covid bastard 19 or anything else they shovel out and demand,'Have this you stupid twats', we say the same meek weak silly little excuse of a thing over and over again. 'I'm not transphobic, I'm not a Climate Change Denier, I am a Wearer of Masks but…..!
And we go on and on and on trying our best to avoid the Dock in a Court of Law by diluting our offering of an opinion because it may conflict with the tyrannical Far Left's Group Identity mantra of We All Know and Everyone Knows. And worse, because we haven't an insight into The Lived Experience of whoever it is who belongs to the oppressed group then we cannot possibly hold a view and express it because it can't top Trump there opinion.
In short, because I don't tick one single box in the game of Group Identity Politics, it's now generally considered that it's beyond me to possibly understand and hold any sort of view because my lived experience isn't as compelling as another's lived experience.

ME10 This article is the very articulation of my own situation. I have been labelled a Trump supporter without any real justification, because to my accusers felt than the labelling was sufficient and no qualification was, therefore necessary. My only actions to merit such were to merely point out that Trump had, long since, been demonised, incorrectly in my opinion, by news mediums with an unhidden agenda. That this was happening to such an extent in UK was clearly shown by the fact that the mention of Trump's name (with relevant eyeball rolling) was sufficient to raise gales of laughter. There was no need, nor any attempt, to legitimise. It is indeed a scary world, with so much power in the hands of the demonisers.

U.S. Civil War 2 prevention plan:
1) CA, OR and WA west of the Sierras and Cascades to be their own country: "Woketopia".
2) New York and New England to form their own country, "Goldbergland".
3) Chicago to be a Special Administrative Zone policed by Russian peacekeepers.
4) Remaining contiguous Heartland + Alaska to be "New Texas".
5) Hawaii to be sold to China in exchange for debt cancellation.
6) Population transfers of wokesters & BLM from cities like Atlanta and Detroit for patriots trapped in Manhattan, L.A. etc.

Lily Beckett is a music journalist currently writing for Dork Magazine and Upset Magazine.
Snail Mail: "A lot of people don't understand that being a woman isn't a genre | Upset
Lindsey Jordan, better known as Snail Mail, has been very, very busy. Speaking to the teenage star at Matador Records after a sold-out gig at London's Oslo, she's still buzzing, full of energy from the night before. "It was a great night. It was so sick," she enthuses.
Blossoms: "I guess it's more the sort of thing Alex Turner would write..." | Dork
"It's about two relationships, I suppose," explains Tom Ogden over the phone. "One that I had written about on our first album and then continued to write about, and then a new relationship, one that's kind of - excuse the pun - blossoming."
Declan McKenna: "Toast has been a big thing for me this year" | Dork
Coming to the end of a nearly non-stop series of shows since the release of his debut album, Declan McKenna can now take some time to reflect a little on all that's occurred in 2017.
Not sure what to get your loved ones this Xmas? Marika Hackman is here to help | Dork
Marika Hackman sums up 2017 in three words: "A mixed bag". From her standpoint as a musician, she's accomplished a considerable amount. "I've had a record out, got a new band, toured America, played the first shows for this album, so it's been an exciting time."
Skott: "I'm usually in a fantasy world" | Dork
It's barely been eighteen months since Skott released her triumphant first single 'Porcelain', but now several faultless tracks down the line, it looks as though a debut album is in the works.
Blossoms - Cool Like You | Dork
Label: Virgin EMI Released: 27th April 2018 Rating: ★★★★ Blossoms fans, please breathe a sigh of relief. 'Cool Like You' is here, and it delivers everything one might want from a second album. Critically, there's a healthy smattering of tracks that - at the bare minimum - equal the anthemic-might of earlier releases, such as 'Charlemagne' and 'Honey Sweet', that appeared on the band's eponymous debut.
Sunflower Bean - Twentytwo In Blue | Dork
Label: Lucky Number Released: 16th March 2018 Rating: ★★★★ Somehow, the comforting twangs of melody strummed up by an eclectic spread of guitars throughout 'Twentytwo in Blue' evoke a similar sense of nostalgia that underpins Sunflower Bean's debut album, 'Human Ceremony'.
Pale Honey - Devotion | Dork
Label: Bolero Recordings Released: 13th October 2017 Rating: ★★★ It's apparent from the get-go that Pale Honey had zero reservations when it came to exploring unfamiliarity in the making of their second LP, 'Devotion'. Quite the contrary, the band embraces a full spectrum of sound, characterised by a myriad of electric guitars, percussive synthesisers and catchy basslines.
