BY THE EXPOSÉ ON MAY 15, 2022
Something is very wrong, and it is because of the Covid-19 injections.
All around the world, Governments are publishing official data that all show the same thing. Those same Governments however are not willing to explain why.
Instead, they are quietly publishing data in the hope that it will get swept under the carpet whilst they have you distracted by war in Ukraine and worrying about the cost of living; a crisis created by Government policy.
But with the publication of confidential Pfizer documents, Governments around the world are running out of places to hide, and if these worrying trends continue, they will be forced to admit the Covid-19 injections are either causing Antibody-Dependent Enhancement or something much worse.
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome.
Whilst rare, it is perfectly possible for a medication or drug to cause Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, and data published by Public Health Scotland, the New Zealand Ministry of Health, the Government of Canada, the UK Health Security Agency, the Office for National Statistics, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control strongly suggests the Covid-19 injections should be added to the list.
How else can Governments around the world explain the fact the fully vaccinated are more likely to be infected with Covid-19, more likely to be hospitalised with Covid-19, and more likely to die of Covid-19 than the unvaccinated?
How else can Governments around the world explain the huge rise in all-cause mortality rates among the fully vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated?
How else can Governments around the world explain the 1,145% to 33,715% increase in AIDS-related diseases, cancers and infections reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System in 2021?

Public Health Scotland announced in January that from the 6th Feb 22, they would no longer report Covid-19 cases, hospitalisations and deaths by vaccination status on a weekly basis.
Here's why –
The charts above have been created using the figures published by Public Health Scotland in their 'COVID-19 & Winter Statistical Report' published 16th Feb 22, and they show that Covid-19 infection, hospitalisation and death rates per 100,000 individuals were consistently higher among the fully vaccinated population.
This is what Covid-19 vaccination has done to the people of Scotland.
The following chart shows the true number of Covid-19 cases by vaccination status between 6th Jan and 11th Feb, and between 12th Feb and 24th Feb in New Zealand. The data has been extracted from the following official New Zealand Ministry of Health 'Covid-19: Case Demographics' reports –
'Covid-19: Case Demographics' report published 25th Feb 2022,
'Covid-19: Case Demographics' report published 6th Jan 2022.
As you can see in both periods the fully vaccinated population accounted for the majority of Covid-19 cases, but the difference in the number of cases by vaccination status between 12th Feb and 24th Feb is shocking.
The following chart shows the Covid-19 case rate per 100k population by vaccination status between 6th Jan and 11th Feb, and between 12th Feb and 24th Feb 22 in New Zealand base on the cases above –
These case rates, just like the Public Health Scotland case rates, certainly pour water on the bonfire of anyone who says "vaccination reduces the chances of being infected with Covid-19", don't they?
This means the Covid-19 injections have a real-world negative effectiveness, and we're able to use Pfizer's vaccine effectiveness formula to calculate it.
Unvaccinated case rate – Vaccinated case rate / Unvaccinated case rate = Vaccine Effectiveness
The following chart shows the real-world two-dose Covid-19 vaccine effectiveness between 6th Jan and 11th Feb, and between 12th Feb and 24th Feb 22 –
Between 6th Jan and 11th Feb the real-world Covid-19 vaccine effectiveness proved to be minus-94.4%, but by the 24th Feb, the real-world vaccine effectiveness fell to minus-281.35%. This means the fully vaccinated were 3.8 times more likely to be infected with Covid-19 than the unvaccinated/one dose vaccinated population.
This is what double vaccination has done to the people of New Zealand.
Despite the Government enforcing Draconian restrictions which have in turn coerced millions into getting the Covid-19 injections, since the turn of the year the country of Canada has experienced its largest wave of Covid-19 cases, hospitalisations and deaths to date.
Official Government of Canada data shows that the vaccinated population as a whole has accounted for 4 in every 5 Covid-19 cases, hospitalisations and deaths from 21st February 2022, up to 17th April.
But it also shows the case/hospitalisation/death-rates per 100,000 population have been highest among the triple vaccinated during the same time frame.
So high that the data shows the triple vaccinated are on average 4 times more likely to be infected with Covid-19, 2 times more likely to be hospitalised with Covid-19, and 3 times more likely to die of Covid-19 than the unvaccinated.
The following chart shows the vaccinated case-rates per 100,000 by vaccination status across Canada between 21st Feb and 17th April 2022 –
The following chart shows the vaccinated hospitalisation-rates per 100,000 by vaccination status across Canada between 21st Feb and 17th April 2022 –
The following chart shows the vaccinated death-rates per 100,000 by vaccination status across Canada between 21st Feb and 17th April 2022 –
This is what Covid-19 vaccination has done to the people of Canada.
The UK Health Security Agency is also playing the same game as Public Health Scotland, and since the 1st April 2022 has refused to publish any further data on Covid-19 cases, hospitalisations and deaths by vaccination status.
The above three charts have been created using the figures contained in the Week 5, Week 9 and Week 13 UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) 'Vaccine Surveillance' reports.
The figures show that the case rates between week 5 and week 13 of 2022 were highest among the triple vaccinated in all age groups in England. Not just by a little bit either, and the gap between the unvaccinated and triple vaccinated has been getting worse by the month.
All age groups also suffered a higher Covid-19 death rate per 100,000 among the double vaccinated except for 18-29-year olds between week 5 and week 9.
But this age group only suffered a higher death rate among the unvaccinated in week 5, with week 9 and week 13 seeing an identical death rate among the unvaccinated and double-vaccinated.
The only other age group to break the trend was 30-39-year-olds, who flip-flopped back to a slightly higher death rate among the unvaccinated in week 13. But apart from this, all other age groups had suffered a higher death rate among the double vaccinated since the beginning of the year.
These aren't the kind of figures we should be seeing if a vaccine is effective. These aren't even the kind of figures we should be seeing if a vaccine is ineffective. What we're seeing here is a vaccine that is having the opposite of its intended effect.
The following two charts shows the real-world Covid-19 vaccine effectiveness against death among the double vaccinated population in England by age group and week, based on the death rates provided above –
(Pfizer's vaccine formula:
Unvaccinated Rate per 100k – Vaccinated Rate per 100k / Unvaccinated Rate per 100k x 100 = Vaccine Effectiveness)
A vaccine effectiveness against death of minus-111% was recorded among 60-69-year-olds, minus-138% among 70-79-year-olds, and minus-166% among people over the age of 80 in week 9 of 2022.
But just look at the figures for the 40-49-year-olds. In week 5 a vaccine effectiveness against death of +16% was recorded. Then in week 9 this fell to minus-32%. But then in week 13 this fell to a shocking minus-121%.
These figures show that most double vaccinated individuals are twice as likely to die of Covid-19 than unvaccinated individuals.
The following chart shows the real-world Covid-19 vaccine effectiveness among the triple vaccinated population by age-group and week in England between 3rd January and 27th March 2022, based on the case-rate figures provided previously above –
This is nowhere near the claimed 95% effectiveness by Pfizer, is it? Vaccine effectiveness was as low as minus-391.43% among 60-69-year-olds in Week 13, falling from minus 114.8% in week 5.
The most concerning declines here seem to be among the 60-69-year-olds and 70-79-year-olds because it looks like they have fallen off a cliff between week 9 and week 13. Thankfully the fall among 18-29-year-olds seems to have slowed between week 9 and week 13 but still sits at minus-231.22% after being minus-29.8% in week 5.
These figures show that 60-69-year-olds are nearly 5 times more likely to be infected with Covid-19 than unvaccinated 60-69-year-olds, and show that 40-59 and 70-79-year-olds are over 4 times more likely to be infected with Covid-19 than their unvaccinated counterparts.
The UKHSA claims that vaccine effectiveness wanes substantially over time and this is why it's important to get a booster dose. But this is a lie. Vaccine effectiveness doesn't wane. Immune system performance does.
Vaccine effectiveness isn't really a measure of a vaccine, it is a measure of a vaccine recipient's immune system performance compared to the immune system performance of an unvaccinated person.
A vaccine effectiveness of -50% would mean that the immune system of the vaccinated is now performing at a worse rate than the natural immune system of the unvaccinated. It would mean the Covid-19 vaccines have damaged the immune system, and that's precisely what these figures are showing.
The following chart shows the immune system performance of the triple vaccinated population in England by age group in per week compared to the natural immune system of the unvaccinated population based on the case-rate figures provided above –
Positive Immune System Performance = Unvaccinated Case Rate – Vaccinated Case Rate / Unvaccinated Case Rate x 100
Negative Immune System Performance = Unvaccinated Case Rate – Vaccinated Case Rate / Vaccinated Case Rate x 100
The lowest immune system performance was among 60-69-year-olds at a shocking minus-80%, but all triple vaccinated people aged 30 to 59 were not far behind, with an immune system performance ranging from minus-75% to minus-76%.
Even the 18 to 29-year-olds were within this region at minus-70%, falling from an immune system performance of +11.35% between week 51 and week 2, meaning they suffered the fastest decline in immune system performance.
Anyone over the age of 60 who has had three jabs should be extremely concerned based on the figures above because they reveal an extremely rapid decline in immune system performance since the beginning of 2022.
But that's not to say anyone under the age of 60 shouldn't be concerned, they are already all suffering from an immune system that has degraded on average between 70 and 76%.
This is what Covid-19 Vaccination has done to the people of England… and Scotland, and New Zealand, and Canada, and most likely the rest of the world.
Antibody-Dependent Enhancement?
Intensive research conducted by health experts throughout the years has brought to light increasing concerns about "Antibody-Dependent Enhancement" (ADE), a phenomenon where vaccines make the disease far worse by priming the immune system for a potentially deadly overreaction.
ADE can arise in several different ways but the best-known is dubbed the 'Trojan Horse Pathway'. This occurs when non-neutralizing antibodies generated by past infection or vaccination fail to shut down the pathogen upon re-exposure.
Instead, they act as a gateway by allowing the virus to gain entry and replicate in cells that are usually off limits (typically immune cells, like macrophages). That, in turn, can lead to wider dissemination of illness, and over-reactive immune responses that cause more severe illness.
In previous clinical trials of vaccine candidates to combat SARS and MERS, the studies each failed during the animal phase due to ADE also known as pathogenic priming or a cytokine storm.
Phase three clinical trials are designed to uncover frequent or severe side effects before a vaccine is approved for use, including ADE.
But herein lies the problem, none of the Covid-19 vaccines have completed phase three clinical trials.
The Pfizer phase three trial is not due to complete until February 8th 2024, after previously being estimated to complete in April 2023.
However, of the information collated by Pfizer so far in the ongoing study they have conducted, it is clear to see that they were fully aware in February 2021 that antibody-dependent enhancement was a possible consequence of their Covid-19 injection, and it appears they also knew by April 2021 that the phenomenon was killing people.
Source – Page 11
Vaccine-associated enhanced diseases (VAED) are modified presentations of clinical infections affecting individuals exposed to a wild-type pathogen after having received a prior vaccination for the same pathogen. Enhanced responses are triggered by failed attempts to control the infecting virus, and VAED typically presents with symptoms related to the target organ of the infection pathogen.
According to scientists, VAED occurs as two different immunopathologies, antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) and vaccine-associated hypersensitivity (VAH).
Antibody-Dependent Enhancement would certainly explain why the vaccinated population are twice as likely to be hospitalised with and die of Covid-19 than the unvaccinated population, but we're not sure it would explain why the vaccinated are up to five times more likely to be infected with Covid-19.
Another extremely serious condition that would explain the higher case rate as well as the higher hospitalisation/death rate is Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome?
It's a common misconception that Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is only caused by the HIV virus. This simply isn't true.
Acquired (or secondary) immunodeficiency is one of the major causes of infections in adults. These immunodeficiency disorders affect your immune system partially or as a whole, making your body an easy target for several diseases and infections. (Source)
When immunodeficiency disorders affect your immune system, your body can no longer fight bacteria and diseases. (Source)
Several factors in the environment can cause secondary immunodeficiency disorders. (Source)
Some common ones are:
Radiation or chemotherapy, which can lead to a secondary immunodeficiency disorder known as neutropenia
Infections due to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) can result in acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)
Leukaemia, a cancer that begins in the cells of the bone marrow that can lead to hypogammaglobulinemia—a type of secondary immunodeficiency
Malnutrition, which affects up to 50% of populations in underdeveloped countries and leaves people vulnerable to respiratory infections and diarrhoea
But some of the less common causes include Drugs or medications. (Source)
So it's perfectly possible for a medication or drug to cause acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, and data published by Public Health Scotland, the New Zealand Ministry of Health, the Government of Canada, the UK Health Security Agency, the UK's Office for National Statistics, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control strongly suggests the Covid-19 injections should be added to the list.
The CDC hosts a Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System where adverse reactions to vaccines can be reported. The full database can be found here.
The database contains adverse reactions reported to all available vaccines in the USA, stretching as far back as 1950. So, we ran a search of the database to check for common diseases and infections associated with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, and this is what we found.
The following chart shows the percentage of AIDS-associated adverse reactions reported to VAERS to all vaccines by year –
The data shows that fifty-one-percent of all adverse reactions associated with AIDS reported since the year 2000 were reported in 2021, and a further 16% have been reported in 2022 so far.
The following chart shows the number of common cancers usually associated with AIDS that have been reported to VAERS as adverse reactions to all vaccines (including the Covid-19 jabs) by the year reported, and the Covid-19 vaccines only by the year reported –
As you can see there was a huge increase in reports in 2021 and in 2022 so far, with the vast majority being attributed to the Covid-19 injections.
The average number of common cancers associated with AIDS being reported as adverse reactions to any vaccine between the years 2000 and 2020 equates to 21.3.
The total number of common cancers associated with AIDS reported as adverse reactions in 2021 was 430. This represents a 1919% increase.
It is however important to note that not all adverse reactions are reported to VAERS. In fact the CDC has admitted just 1 to 10% of adverse reactions are actually reported to the system. But a brilliant analysis conducted by Jessica Rose Phd accurately estimates the underreporting factor to be at least 41.3. See here.
The following chart shows the number of acquired immune disorders, including AIDS, that have been reported to VAERS as adverse reactions to all vaccines (including the Covid-19 jabs) by the year reported, and the Covid-19 vaccines only by the year reported –
Yet again there was a huge increase in reports in 2021 and in 2022 so far, with the vast majority being attributed to the Covid-19 injections.
The average number of acquired immune disorders being reported as adverse reactions to any vaccine between the years 2000 and 2020 equates to 31.
The total number of acquired immune disorders reported as adverse reactions in 2021 was 386. This represents a 1145% increase.
The following chart shows the number of sepsis cases that have been reported to VAERS as adverse reactions to all vaccines (including the Covid-19 jabs) by the year reported, and the Covid-19 vaccines only by the year reported –
Sepsis is the body's extreme response to an infection. It is a life-threatening medical emergency. Sepsis happens when an infection you already have triggers a chain reaction throughout your body. Infections that lead to sepsis most often start in the lung, urinary tract, skin, or gastrointestinal tract.
The average number of sepsis cases being reported as adverse reactions to any vaccine between the years 2000 and 2020 equates to 75.
The total number of sepsis cases reported as adverse reactions in 2021 was 1593. This represents a 2024% increase.
Are we really to believe that this is just an unfortunate coincidence? Or are we witnessing the American public report to the Centres for Disease control that the Covid-19 injections are causing them to develop acquired immunodeficiency syndrome?
Damning Figures from the Office for National Statitics
The Office for National Statistics is the UK's largest independent producer of official statistics and the recognised national statistical institute of the UK. It is responsible for collecting and publishing statistics related to the economy, population and society at national, regional and local levels.
In its latest dataset on deaths in England by vaccination status, which can be found here, the ONS reveals that the all-cause mortality-rate among the fully vaccinated is higher than the all-cause mortality rate among the unvaccinated.
So not only are the vaccinated population more likely to die of Covid-19, they are more likely to die of any cause. This further supports the available evidence that suggests the Covid-19 injections are doing untold damage to the immune system, causing people to develop acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
Table 2 of the ONS dataset contains data on the monthly age-standardised mortality rates by vaccination status by age group for all deaths in England.
The following chart shows the monthly age-standardised mortality rates by vaccination status for all-cause deaths, per 100,000 person-years among adults aged 18 to 39 in England. The green line is the mortality rate among the unvaccinated, which while fluctuating has remained pretty stable throughout.
The other lines however represent different vaccination statuses, and they are extremely concerning. The orange, yellow, and pink lines represent mortality rates within 21 days of receiving a first, second or third dose. And they reveal that the risk of death increases significantly immediately after vaccination.
But the most concerning figures are the mortality rates among those vaccinated at least 21 days ago, which you can see more clearly in the following chart –
In January 2021 the mortality rate per 100,000 person-years among the unvaccinated equated to 67.7. This then fell month on month to 33.1 in May, before increasing again in June to 44.8. The same however cannot be said for those who had received a single dose at least 21 days prior to their death.
In January 2021 the mortality rate per 100,000 person-years among the partly vaccinated equated to 119.9. Meaning the mortality rate was 77% higher than the mortality rate among the unvaccinated. This then fell to 68.3 deaths per 100,000 in February, before climbing to 90.1 in March, then 108.8 in April.
This means at this point the mortality rate among the partly vaccinated was 193.3% higher than the mortality rate among the unvaccinated. But not long after following the second dose being administered things get even worse.
The highest mortality rate among the double vaccinated (at least 21 days ago) occurred in September 2021, with 125.9 deaths per 100,000 person-years. In the same month, the mortality rate among the unvaccinated equated to 46.8. Meaning the double vaccinated mortality rate was 169% higher than the unvaccinated mortality rate.
But the largest statistical difference occurred in November 2021. The mortality rate among the unvaccinated equated to 33.4 deaths per 100,000 person-years, whereas the mortality rate among the double vaccinated equated to 107. A difference of 220.4%.
The following chart shows the average-age standardised mortality rate to have occurred between 1st Jan 21 and 31st Jan 22 by vaccination status for all-cause deaths, per 100,000 person-years among adults aged 18 to 39 in England –
The average mortality rate throughout these 13 months among the unvaccinated equates to 43.9 deaths per 100,000 person-years. But ignoring the mortality rate within the first 21 days of vaccination, we find that this is actually the lowest mortality rate among all vaccination statuses, and these include Covid-19 deaths in the rates.
The average partly vaccinated (At least 21 days ago) mortality rate equates to 66.3 deaths per 100,000. Whilst the average double vaccinated (At least 21 days ago) mortality rate equates to 84.02 deaths per 100,000 person-years between 1st Jan 21 and 31st Jan 22.
On average the one-dose vaccinated were 51% more likely to die than the unvaccinated, and the double vaccinated were 91.4% more likely to die than the unvaccinated between 1st Jan 21 and 31st Jan 22.
Something is very wrong, and it is because of the Covid-19 Injections
The real-world data does not lie.
The Covid-19 injection makes recipients more likely to be infected with Covid-19, more likely to be hospitalised with Covid-19, and more likely to die of Covid-19. But it turns out they also make recipients more likely to die of any cause.
Couple this with the fact that VAERS reports of diseases, cancers and infections associated with AIDS increased between 1145% and 33,715% in 2021 following the introduction of the Covid-19 injections, then surely it's time for the Governments of Scotland, New Zealand, Canada, the UK, the USA, and the rest of the world to admit that the Covid-19 injections are causing recipients to develop a new form of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome?

Insurgent Trump taps GOP insiders, lobbyists for transition
Veterans of two Bush administrations and Romney transition lay the groundwork for his presidency.
By ANDREW RESTUCCIA, ISAAC ARNSDORF and NANCY COOK
Donald Trump's potential presidential appointments are leaning heavily on the sort of DC insiders that the billionaire railed against on the campaign trail. | Getty
Donald Trump campaigned as an outsider who vowed to "drain the swamp" in Washington, but the president-elect's transition team is packed with veterans of the GOP establishment, as well as with lobbyists for the fossil fuel, chemical, pharmaceutical and tobacco industries.
As Trump and his aides vet nominees for his Cabinet and lay out a first 100-day agenda, they are leaning heavily on the sort of DC insiders that the billionaire railed against on the campaign trail — people who cut their teeth working for Presidents George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and former nominee Mitt Romney, as well as on the influence peddlers Trump accuses of 'rigging' the system against ordinary Americans.
One Republican lobbyist told POLITICO that the president-elect has no choice but to turn to GOP veterans with government experience to launch a new administration.
"Who else are you going to go to?" the lobbyist said. "Unless you get some used car salesman from Dubuque, Iowa, you go to policy people."
To be sure, members of the transition team are not guaranteed jobs in the Trump administration — for now, they've been enlisted simply to assemble policy papers, vet potential nominees and develop road maps for governing. But their involvement makes it more difficult for the president-elect to portray himself as a political outsider — a development that at least some regard as positive.
"The fact that Donald Trump is reaching into the big pool of his party for some of the most highly qualified candidates is a good thing," said one former Bush administration official. "It would be a huge mistake to not draw on that talent. I understand the campaign rhetoric. But if he's not drawing from the Republican Party — and he's obviously not drawing from the Democratic Party — where would he draw from?"
Trump makes nice with Hill GOP
By RACHAEL BADE and BURGESS EVERETT
But some in the original band of insurgents are resentful. "The Bush crew is definitely trying to pretend that Trump's win is not a direct repudiation of their failed administration," said one early supporter. "I'm surprised by the hypocrisy of the whole thing."
Top members of his transition team with ties to both Bushes include Kay Cole James, director of the Office of Personnel Management for the younger Bush; William Hagerty, an economic adviser to the elder Bush and player on Romney's transition team; and Jamie Burke, a White House liaison to Health and Human Services for the younger Bush who also served on Romney's transition.
There's also Ado Machida, a top domestic policy aide to former Vice President Dick Cheney; David Bernhardt, Interior Department solicitor, and James F. Manning, a senior Education official, both for the younger Bush; and Ken Blackwell, undersecretary at Housing and Urban Development, and David Malpass, deputy assistant secretary of state, both for the elder Bush.
Former Bush officials are expected to find a place in Trump's Cabinet too. Pamela Patenaude, a potential pick to lead Housing and Urban Development, was an assistant HUD secretary under the younger Bush; and Van Hipp Jr., a former deputy assistant Army secretary for the elder Bush, is seen as a leading candidate to be Army secretary.
William Evers, a possible pick for Education Secretary, worked at the younger Bush's Education Department; Victoria Lipnic, a candidate for Labor Secretary, worked at his Labor Department; and Robert Grady, who served the elder Bush, is seen as a candidate to lead Interior, Energy, EPA or the Office of Management and Budget.
Trump's transition team is also flush with lobbyists, raising questions about the president-elect's promises to limit the influence of lobbyists in government.
Trump tries the presidency on for size
By SHANE GOLDMACHER
During an October speech in Wisconsin, Trump vowed to "make our government honest once again." He pledged to ask Congress to ban executive branch officials from lobbying the government for five years after they return to the private sector and to issue a similar five-year ban on former lawmakers and their staffs. He also proposed a lifetime ban on senior executive branch officials lobbying for foreign governments. And he said he would "close all the loopholes that former government officials use by labeling themselves consultants and advisers when we all know they are lobbyists."
But his transition team includes lobbyists who represent powerful corporate interests, according to an organization chart obtained by POLITICO and lobby disclosure filings:
Cindy Hayden of tobacco giant, Altria, is in charge of Trump's Homeland Security team.
J. Steven Hart, chairman of Williams & Jensen, is in charge of the Labor team. His clients include Visa, the American Council of Life Insurers, Anthem, Cheniere Energy, Coca-Cola, General Electric, PhRMA and United Airlines.
Michael McKenna of MWR Strategies, who is working on the Energy Department team, lobbies for Engie (formerly GDF Suez), Southern Company and Dow Chemical.
David Bernhardt of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck who leads the Interior Department team, lobbies for the Westlands Water District in central California and used to represent Freeport LNG and Rosemont Copper.
Michael Torrey, who has the Agriculture Department portfolio, has his own firm representing the American Beverage Association and the Crop Insurance and Reinsurance Bureau.
Mike Catanzaro of CGCN Group, lobbies for the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers, a refining group, as well as Hess, Encana, Noble Energy and Devon Energy. Catanzaro is working on energy independence, along with Mike Ference, a lobbyist at the firm S-3 Group, representing Halliburton, Koch Industries and Marathon Oil.

Rolf Lundberg, who's tasked with trade reform, worked at the Chamber of Commerce until 2013 and spun off his own lobbying firm representing Choice Hotels and the International Franchise Association.
Jim Carter, who oversees tax reform, is an in-house lobbyist for manufacturing company Emerson.
Transportation and infrastructure is being led by Martin Whitmer, the founder partner of lobbying firm Whitmer & Worrall who represents the American Association of Railroads, the National Asphalt Pavement Association and the Utilities Technology Council.
It is not known whether Trump will allow former lobbyists to serve in his administration -- instead of simply limiting what they do after leaving government. Unlike Trump, Hillary Clinton's transition team banned lobbyists altogether and made staff sign a code of ethics requiring transition officials to recuse themselves from working on any issue on which they have lobbied in the past year.
A person close to Trump's transition told POLITICO that he has not heard any discussion about limiting the role of lobbyists in Trump's administration.
"When you lock lobbyists out, you're really handcuffing yourself," the person said. "It looks good on paper and it sounds good … But you're cheating yourself and really limiting the talent pool."
Indeed, even Obama had trouble keeping lobbyists out of government. The president issued several waivers permitting former lobbyists to work in his administration. Some Democrats privately acknowledge such limits are important symbolically, but are difficult to enforce.
"It is a big error to sweep with a broad brush when it comes to lobbyists," said another former Bush administration official, "because some of the most seasoned and capable people able to responsibly pull the levers of government are among the lobbying ranks. To deprive yourself from that skill set is a mistake."
Trump's decision to rely on veterans of all stripes comes as a relief for many in the establishment.
"Look I don't want his administration filled with Breitbart and Ann Coulter — those kind of folks," said Peter Wehner, who served in the last three GOP administrations and who has been an outspoken Trump critic. "I hope for the sake of the country that he gets competent people in place who know how to run the government because he has no earthly idea what to do. I'm sure he's in the process of figuring out that the presidency is not a reality television show."
A Trump spokeswoman did not respond to requests for comment.

I have pain in my lower leg that is waking me up at night. Any remedies?
I am only 5 weeks pregnant and am on aspirin therapy for a clotting factor disorder. I seem to have been fine up to this point but I am having some significant discomfort in my left leg. Maybe it is nothing, maybe a clot. Has anyone else had this issue? I have risk factors such as being overweight and being on the supplemental progesterone. Am I worrying for no reason?
I have had 5 children and am currently 4 weeks pregnant. My legs are cramping like crazy!!! And they did with all of my pregnancies. I, too am overweight. My doctors have told me that its a lack of pottasium which can be found in bananas. Eat bananas. I will be surprised if it doesn't work wonders for you.

The 'From crop to cup' lake Kivu experience combines the stunning scenery of Lake Kivu with an educational excursion where visitors learn about the coffee growing process. Visitors learn in hands-on ways about the entire coffee production chain . This lake Kivu Coffee Experience introduces the coffee growth process 'from crop to cup'. The tour kicks off on a boat trip to Nyamirundi Island where you will visit the plantation of a local coffee cooperative.
The volcanic soils of the island give the coffee a full bodied, yet non-acidic flavor, and some of the best coffee in the world is grown in this area. The coffee cooperative, Ingoboka, has a total of over 2,000 members, all of whom own small coffee farms on the shores of the lake and its surroundings.
The Southern coffe tour is conducted in Butare- which makes it an easy day trip from either Kigali or Nyungwe Forest Visitors learn in hands-on ways about the entire coffee production chain . Ideally situated, the coffee plantation is a two hour drive [133KM] from the capital city of Kigali and A 20 minute drive from the city of Huye. In spite of the close proximity to the city, we are located high in the serene mountains away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
These coffee excursions introduces you to the washing process that involves over 20 sophisticated steps. You pick your own coffee cherries and follow through the various steps of coffee washing. Finally, you can roast your own coffee on an open fire and have a personal coffee tasting experience of hand-grinded and traditionally roasted coffee.
A fixed percentage of the benefits from proceeds of this tour goes to a Ingoboka Cooperative Development Fund which is we jointly manage. By the end of the year, the cooperative can decide in a democratic way how to best use this money, with NDA and the Cooperative keeping a veto right.

I say this because I will be displaying my aquaponic – IoT – Balcony Unit at Maker Faire next week in San Mateo. To accomplish the IoT part of the build I have to use technology that allows for internet communication thus IoT! Well there are many options available to accomplish this task – some not so easy and others not enough features to be effective for this project.
I made this choice because I had one (but had not used it as yet) and the fact that documentation on it is easy to find. The other fact is that Temboo www.temboo.com uses the YUN as one of its options for their solution to the Internet of Things and I am working with them on this open source project so many others will be able to get up and running in short order and have simpler options to add additional capability based on the persons needs and I will not have to supply the customer support for any aspect of the code other than give everyone a stating point.
WELL – that is where things got interesting.
Now I had to research out why it was not listed as a port option in my Arduino IDE. Well after some time and deep research I found that Arduino IDE only works some times for the YUN on wireless. So the uploading from Arudino IDE to the board is not an option as most of the YouTube videos demonstrate quite well. This becomes an issue because I found out that as configured the YUN does not have enough on board memory, so a SD card is needed.
Using an SD card with the YUN requires that the card be format using the YUN. To do that you need to know that the YUN is connected to the internet and working properly which is very hard to know if it is or not.
So once you know the YUN is connected and you have it connected through cable to your computer you need a file called " YunDiskSpaceExpander" found on the Arduino site. Once uploaded you access it through the Serial Monitor of the Arduino IDE. If all goes well you answer a bunch of cryptic questions and bingo the thing kicks off. Once do you have a formated YUN SD enabled board.
Now I am ready for the real fun stuff to generate code to be used through Temboo so I will have "Streaming Data" and text messaging in short order – lets hope!
The good news in all of this is that I will be documenting all of this for the instructions to the Balcony unit for all to use and save anyone interested in building one or gets a kit from me that will be up and running in short order.
See you all at Maker Faire next Saturday if you make it there!

BLACKOUT RIPPER Part 3 (Margaret Florence Lowe)
INTRO: On 1st September 1939, following the Nazi annexation of Poland, Britain declared war on Germany, and in a brutal conflict which spanned four continents and raged for six years and one day, by the end of the Second World War, over seventy-three million people would be dead.
Being short on soldiers, the Military Training Act reinstated National Service and all healthy men, aged 18 to 41, with few exceptions, were conscripted into the Army, Navy and Air-Force, later extended to men up to 51, and all single women aged 20 to 30.
Although vital, conscription severely depleted Britain's emergency services, and even though London's Metropolitan Police force maintained a total of roughly 19500 officers for the duration of the war, their numbers were bolstered by inexperienced reservists, special constables and retired officers.
And with the already overworked Police officers burdened with new war-time duties including chasing deserters, enforcing the blackout and aiding the rescue effort after the Blitz, with crime rate in England having increased from 303,000 offences per year in 1939, to 478,000 in 1945, the depleted Police force struggled to stem a new flow of crimes such as looting, bootlegging and black market trades.
By 1942, at the height of the war, with the city in blackout and a population in fear as Nazi bombers loomed overhead, a new terror stalked the seedy streets of London's West End, with an insatiable hatred of women, a thirst for blood and a hunger to slash, torture and kill.
No-one knew his name, no-one had heard his voice and no-one had seen his face, but over the last 24 hours, this sadistic maniac had strangled, posed and mutilated two seemingly unrelated women in two different parts of the West End - 41 year old pharmacist Evelyn Hamilton in an air-raid shelter on Montagu Place and 34 year old prostitute Evelyn Oatley in her flat on Wardour Street - at the start of what would become a five day killing spree. And tonight he would go in search of his next victim.
My name is Michael. I am your tour-guide. This is Murder Mile. And I present to you; part three of the full, true and untold story of The Blackout Ripper.
SCRIPT: Today, I'm standing on Gosfield Street, W1, in an upmarket residential area called Fitzrovia, north of Soho and barely a five minute walk from Wardour Street, Oxford Circus and Regent's Park.
Being a small one-way side-street, lined with at least six trees, but no bushes, no grass and no flowers, no cats, no dogs and no birds, no stores, no cafes and no pubs, no shoppers, no buskers and no life whatsoever, Gosfield Street is quite possibly one of the most boring places in the West End.
And number 9/10 Gosfield Street is a prime example; as being a red and brown bricked six-storey mansion-house (which is really just a posh way of saying "a block of flats"), most residents must have an allergic reaction to pavements, as the only time they're seen on the street is to slip into an Uber, scowl at a lost homeless man, shout at a dog-plop dropper, shoe-away an ASDA delivery truck having secretly disguised their cheapo shopping in Waitrose bags, and noisily shushed (whisper) a certain pot-bellied baldy-headed murder podcaster for daring to make a noise within earshot of their £1.1 million flat, having instantly devaluing it, simply because I'm a Brummy. "Y'alroit mayte?"
But back in 1942, 9/10 Gosfield Street truly was in a working class neighbourhood, full of underpaid and undervalued skilled and unskilled workers, whether seamstresses, waitresses, cobblers, tailors, bakers, maids and (of course) prostitutes. And today, as much as the elderly may crow that "the streets were much safer in my day, there was no crime, we all left our doors unlocked and everybody looked out for each other", this is a story which would greatly dispute that. As flat 4 at 9/10 Gosfield Street was home of the third victim of The Blackout Ripper… and her name was Margaret Lowe. (Interstitial)
The early life of Margaret Lowe is as mysterious as her death. Being born on an unspecified date in 1899, Margaret Florence Campbell Burkett was the twin sister of Sidney, one of four siblings raised in the coastal town of Napier, in the Hawkes Bay region of New Zealand.
Living in a picturesque setting surrounded by clear skies, blue seas, sandy beaches and green fields, although they were not a wealthy family, through hard-work, struggle and dogged persistence, they lived a comfortable life in an idyllic part of the world, and everything was good. But for unfortunate reasons only known to them – whether sickness, bereavement or financial hardship - the entire family uprooted back to England, where life would only get poorer, harder and darker.
Having dramatically downsized from their own beautiful beachside home, to live in a shared lodging house amongst the industrial smog of Hoxton in East London, with an expanding family and an ever decreasing income, life got worse for the family, when their father was killed during the First World War, leaving behind a widowed mother with four young children, with no pension nor savings.
Dreaming of living a better life and shamed by the stench, poverty and squalor she lived in, Margaret left school with a limited education and spent five years toiling away in several unskilled dead-end jobs; for long hours, very little pay and no future. What happened in between is uncertain, but in 1919, 20 year old Margaret (under the alias of "Peggy Campbell") was charged at Bow Street Magistrates Court, convicted of "living of the immoral earnings of prostitution" and was fined twenty shillings.
Shamed by her conviction, her sentence and the depths to which she had sunk, two years later, fate seemed to finally smile on Margaret, as having fallen in love with 40 year old Frederick George Lowe, a kindly widower who was 18 years her senior, on 11th October 1921, they married in the pretty market town of Rochford (in Essex), gave birth to a beautiful baby girl called Barbara and set-up a fancy dress shop in the nearby coastal town of Southend on Sea. And having returned to an idyllic life full of clear skies, blue seas, sandy beaches and green fields, once again, life was good.
But after 11 years of marital bliss, on the 14th December 1932, 51 year old Frederick George Lowe died, leaving Margaret a widower with a four year old daughter to raise alone. And although (unlike her late father) Frederick had savings and insurance to secure his family's future; being wracked with grief, depression and alcoholism, with the shop shut-down, her home boarded-up and her daughter Barbara taken into care, Margaret had lost everything.
Within two years, Margaret had gone from being a happily married mother and a prosperous shop keeper to a homeless childless penniless alcoholic, and seeing no other option, she moved back to London, worked in a series of dead-end jobs in sleazy strip-clubs, and later returned to prostitution, where – a just few years later - she would die at the hands of The Blackout Ripper. (Interstitial).
Between Monday 9th and Wednesday 11th February 1942, on three consecutive days, in three different streets within one mile of the West End, three women were murdered. But if their sadistic deaths was perpetrated by the same man, how does he know these women, and what connects them?
(Typewriter): Birth place? This we can rule out as Evelyn Hamilton was born and raised near Newcastle in the north-east of England, Evelyn Oatley in Lancashire in the north-west, and Margaret Lowe in Napier in New Zealand and Hoxton in London, so none of them were childhood friends.
(Typewriter): Education? This we can rule out as with Hamilton being degree-educated at Edinburgh University, and Oatley and Lowe having left school with no qualifications, being raised in different counties and countries, almost eight years apart, none of them were school friends.
(Typewriter): Personality? Again, we can rule this out, as with Hamilton being a shy pharmacist, Oatley being a confident socialite and Lowe being a depressed alcoholic, even though they never lived on the same street, frequented the same pubs and (with the exception of occasional stays at the Three Arts Club for lectures) Hamilton never lived in London, so it's highly unlikely they socialised together.
In fact, as three wildly dissimilar women, from different statuses, outlooks and situations, although they were all within one square mile of each other during those three fateful days, based on the hundreds of witness statements taken by the Police from anyone who knew them, there is no evidence – at all - that Evelyn Hamilton, Evelyn Oatley and Margaret Lowe ever met or even knew each other, and the only time their names were linked together, was when they were murdered. (End Typing).
By 1942, 43 year old Margaret Florence Lowe had been a West End prostitute for eight years, but as familiar as she was to sex-workers and servicemen alike, very little is known about her, as although she went by her alias "Peggy Campbell" and "Peggy Burkett", she was known locally as "The Lady".
Physically, Margaret was unremarkable; as being a portly woman of five foot five inches tall, with neck-length brunette hair and a side-parting, neat make-up, a maternal smile and a slightly bulbous nose (brought on by the effects of chronic alcoholism), she easily resembled any other Piccadilly prostitute, but as a person, "The Lady" was very much a woman of many contradictions.
Neatly dressed in polished black shoes, shiny black leather gloves, a black leather handbag, an elegant felt hat and a large fur coat, although Margaret had been convicted three times for "soliciting for sex" and "behaving in an indecent manner" (each time using a different alias), she always walked with her head held high as if she was a well-to-do lady, off for a night at the theatre.
As a plummy voiced woman with an indeterminately posh accent, who enunciated her h's, said "whom" instead of "who", "we" instead of "us" and "one" instead of "I", although she'd never denigrate herself by swigging back a pint or picking up punters in the local pubs and clubs, she was often found drunk and tottering the kerbs of the West End, singing little ditties and slurring her words.
And as an obviously refined women full of airs-and-graces, who was too busy to stop, too posh to chat and too senior to socialise with anyone below her status, Margaret always walked alone; no friends, no joy, just drink; a sad lonely lady clinging onto the long-lost memory of a life which once was.
Unlike most prostitutes, Margaret didn't have a patch, instead choosing to walk in a large square, right around Soho, from Shaftesbury Avenue, to Charing Cross Road, Oxford Street, Regent Street and back to Piccadilly Circus. And with her only working after 11pm, it was as if Margaret didn't want to be seen.
Describing prostitution as a "dirty piece of work"; Margaret hated her job, resented her punters and only did the dirty deed to survive, but as a chronically depressed alcoholic, who had sold her body to earn money, earned money to buy booze and drank booze to dull her senses so she could earn more money by having sex, she was trapped in a vicious circle, of which there was no way out.
And although she was nicknamed "The Lady"; as a feisty, argumentative and belligerent boozer who wouldn't stand for ill-manners, coarse language or any rough stuff, she was widely known to be a real tough cookie and a scrapper who could easily handle herself. And in an illegal job which involved inviting numerous strangers back to her flat, for sex, during the blackout? Being handy with her fists was a skill which – unfortunately for Margaret Lowe - came in very handy.
In the early hours of Friday 30th January 1942, just two weeks prior to her death, in Flat 4 on the ground floor of 9/10 Gosfield Street, Margaret was physically assaulted in her bed by a punter she had picked up in Piccadilly. Forcibly barging the Canadian soldier out of the door, with fists flailing and feet flying, Margaret screamed at the top of her lungs "Help! Murder! Police!" causing such a ruckus, it awoke her neighbours - Florence Bartolini (in flat 1) and Ralph George Stevens (in flat 2).
And although the Police were called, statements were taken and the worst of her injuries was a badly bruised chest, with the man having fled and Margaret unwilling to press charges (for fear of implicating herself in the illegal act of prostitution), the case was dropped and her attacker was never caught. One week later, Margaret was assaulted again. Two weeks later, she would be dead. (Interstitial).
Between roughly midnight and just after 1am on Monday 9th, Tuesday 10th and Wednesday 11th February 1942, three wildly different and unrelated women, who witnesses claim had never met, were strangled, posed and brutally murdered on different streets in London's West End? But if these three women had died at the hands of the same man, why did he pick them? Did he have a type?
(Typewriter): Physically? All three women were between five foot one and five foot five inches in height, aged from their mid-thirties to early forties, and with none of them being either stunning, ugly or memorable in any way, the best way they can be described is "average" and "unremarkable". And that's where the physical similarities end; Evelyn Hamilton was an average-sized brunette, Evelyn Oatley was a slim blonde and Margaret Lowe was a portly brunette, although he clearly picked women that a taller/heavier man could overpower, he didn't seem attracted to one type of woman.
(Typewriter): Geographically? The only similarities being that they were all murdered in the West End; with all three having died on different streets (Montague Place, Wardour Street and Gosfield Street); two having died in private flats, one in a public space; and with no witnesses or suspects of any kind, and only two fingerprints found which didn't match a single felon on Scotland Yard's Print Index, the Police had no idea who their killer / or killers were. And in a deeply confusing investigation made all the more impossible as with Evelyn Hamilton being murdered in Marylebone (known as D Division), and Evelyn Oatley and Margaret Lowe murdered in Soho and Fitzrovia (known as C Division), although they didn't know this yet, two different Police departments were hunting the same murderer.
(Typewriter): And even with a wealth of witness statements from wide variety of reliable sources, the over-worked and understaffed Police force had no idea where any of these women were picked-up, who had approached them or how they had met their murderer? But what follows are the last known sightings of Margaret Florence Lowe.
On the morning of Tuesday 10th February 1942 – at roughly the same time that Police were examining an horrific crime scene (barely a few streets away) at 153 Wardour Street, involving a semi-clad lady, a razor blade, a can-opener and a trail of blood six feet long – Margaret walked into the butcher's shop at 41 Great Titchfield Street (one street west of her home) and spoke to proprietor Emily Harries.
Unlike her usual grumpy, feisty and frumpy self, on this day Margaret was in a chipper mood, her dark mood lifted, as with the weekend approaching, Margaret's daughter – no longer a sullen six year old placed into care at St Gabriel's orphanage in Southend on Sea, but now a vivacious 15 year old who had blossomed into strong young woman – Barbara would be paying her mother a regular visit. The one good thing in Margaret's miserable life and her last connection to happier times.
Excited at seeing her daughter, Margaret didn't buy anything at the butchers, instead (using her weekly ration) she asked Emily to put aside some lamb's livers, kidneys, bones and fat, so she could bake her baby a suet pudding. A real treat during the hardships of war-time England.
Sadly, being so solitary, the next confirmed sighting of Margaret wasn't until 12:30am, a full thirteen hours later and roughly an hour before her death, it was also her last known sighting.
Kathleen Norah Clarke, a local sex-worker spotted the prostitute she knew only as "The Lady" strolling by Eros News Theatre on the corner of Shaftesbury Avenue and Piccadilly Circus, heading by Monaco's restaurant; where barely one night before, Evelyn Oatley had waved "goodnight" to Laura Denmark and Molly Desantos-Alves having picked-up a red-headed Corporal and a fair-haired Aircraftman.
As always, Margaret was alone; impeccably dressed in her polished black shoes, shiny black leather gloves, a black leather handbag, an elegant felt hat and a large fur coat, she smoked a cigarette from her silver cigarette case as she shimmied along the kerb-side, slightly tipsy, merrily singing to herself, her spirits high as (although the night was bitterly cold) she had got something to look forward to.
At approximately 1:10am, two independent witnesses living at 9/10 Gosfield Street - Florence Bartolini (in flat 1) and Ralph George Stevens (in flat 2), both basement flats situated below the communal door and Margaret's ground-floor flat, heard the unmistakable sound of the lady they knew as "Mrs Lowe" unlock the door and quietly enter, accompanied by a man; and although they didn't see him, his heavy footsteps had the dull thump of men's boots, and his accent was unmistakably English.
Although their conversation were unintelligible; their voices were low, their tone was cordial and she welcomed the man into her flat, but – unusually for Margaret, who (witnesses state) "wasn't the best of neighbours" and often kept the whole house awake by playing loud music on her gramophone in the dead of night to deaden the sounds of a sex-worker in action – after a brief chat and the clink of glasses, there was silence. After which, Florence and George fell asleep.
No-one heard any screams, shouts or cries. Nothing was broken, smashed or trashed. And – with the exception of Margaret - no-one saw his face. In fact, the only sound which heard that whole night was at an undetermined hour when bleary-eyed Florence Bartolini was briefly awoken by the heavy thud of a flat door being shut, the communal door being opened and a heavy booted man briskly walking into Gosfield Street and heading right in the direction of Baker Street, Warren Street or Regent's Park.
And with these being the usual sounds heard nightly from the flat of a 43 year old alcoholic sex-worker, thinking nothing more of it, Florence rolled over and went back to sleep.
So, with very little eye-witness testimony and very few pieces of tangible evidence, what can we say (for certain) about the man who murdered Margaret Florence Lowe, (and possibly Evelyn Hamilton and Evelyn Oatley), if this was him at all?
(Typewriter): She clearly felt comfortable and unthreatened in his presence, so either she knew him, liked him, or he didn't look, sound or act like a man who (deep-down) was a sadistic sexual monster. If so, was he driven to kill by drugs, drink or mental illness? Was his hatred of women triggered by a childhood trauma having talked to Margaret? Or was he a maniac with a supreme level of self-control?
(Typewriter): Just like Evelyn Hamilton and Evelyn Oatley, Margaret was alone when she was picked-up, often felt lonely and depressed, and had been drinking that night. And with all three women last seen in or near infamous West End restaurants – Hamilton in Maison Lyonese and Oatley & Lowe by Monaco's – was he a regular there, with money to spend, drinks to be drank and girls to be chased?
(Typewriter): Clearly being confident, pleasant and approachable, who all three ladies felt safe with, was he a local man with a good knowledge of the West End streets, was he an experienced man used to chatting-up ladies and picking-up prostitutes, or was he the type of man you would instantly trust, whether a policeman, a fireman, an air-raid warden, a soldier, a sailor or an airman?
(Typewriter): And with Margaret being a feisty lady who was well-known to fend-off any fiends with fists and feet, just as Evelyn Hamilton had (her black scuffed shoes having kicked chunks of brick mortar off the inside of the air-raid shelter), had he learned his lesson, by striking fast and strangling first, giving himself ample time to sadistically mutilate their limp, dying and lifeless bodies?
Of course, with no sightings, no witnesses and no suspects, most of this would have been pure guess-work. And regardless of whether these murders were connected, if they were the work of the same sexual sadist, or if Margaret Florence Lowe was the third victim of The Blackout Ripper; as a lonely widow living alone in a single flat, with no friends and no close family, who spent her time surrounded by strangers, no-one knew she had even been murdered until almost three days later.
The next morning on Wednesday 11th February 1942 at 11am, Florence Bartolini spotted a brown paper parcel at the foot of the door of flat 4, delivered by the postman but (as of yet) uncollected and unopened. And with the large gift being addressed to Mrs Lowe and Florence's day chockful of chores, she ignored it and left by the communal door, unaware of the unimaginable horror a few feet away.
When she returned, six hours later, the parcel was still there. The next morning it was still there. And the next evening it was still there. And as the residents from nine different flats, all walked by, spied the parcel, stared at it quizzically, commenting about how unusually quiet flat 4 was; with no yelling, no music and heavy-booted men waking them up at all hours of the night, still no-one did anything.
On Friday 13th February at 3:50pm, having caught the train from Southend-on-Sea, eager to stay the weekend, see the sights and tuck into the delicious suet pudding her mum had promised to bake, 15 year old Barbara Joan Lowe, entered 9/10 Gosfield Street and knocked on the door of flat 4…
…but here was no reply. She knocked again. Nothing. Having spotted a brown paper parcel at her feet, post-marked with Monday's date, Barbara queried with the neighbours who confirmed it was odd that they hadn't seen or heard from her mother in days, and gripped with a queasy feeling of dread, Barbara called the Police.
At 4:30pm, Detective Sergeant Leonard Blacktop of C Division from West End Central police station on nearby Saville Row arrived at 9/10 Gosfield Street to investigate the possible disappearance of a 43 year old alcoholic, nothing more. Unable to access flat 4 owing to a locked door and Barbara having no key, DS Blacktop deduced that most alcoholics (prone to lapses in memory) would likely keep a spare key nearby, and having found one under her doormat, the detective entered the flat.
On initial inspection, although (with the lights off, the electricity metre money having ran out and the windows covered in blackout curtains) the flat was in total darkness, but as DS Blacktop shone his torch around her tiny congested sitting room, nothing seemed disturbed, out-of-place or damaged.
As he walked along the thin dark passageway towards the cramped kitchenette in the backroom, DS Blacktop noticed what looked like the contents of her handbag, strewn across the kitchen table; a few letters, three ration books, a pink lipstick, two Yale keys and a six-inch metal torch, but no money, no handbag and (unusually for a heavy smoker) no cigarette case. As well as a bottle of stout, which was three quarters full, but no glasses. And with the kitchen cupboards opened, rifled and their contents scattered, spilling all manner of cutlery (including forks, knives and a can-opener) across the work-surfaces, it looked like a burglary, but so far, there was still no sign of Margaret.
The only room left to try was her bedroom. With the door locked, no suitable key found and three days having passed, with Barbara's permission, DS Blacktop forced her bedroom door. And although the room was dark, in the middle, lying on her bed, he saw the unmistakable sight of the strangled and mutilated body of 43 year old Margaret Florence Lowe.
Having escalated the case up to Chief Inspector Edward Greeno of Scotland Yard, this was now no longer a hunt for a missing person, this was a murder investigation.
In an unnervingly similar crime scene to that of Evelyn Oatley, it didn't look as if a struggle had taken place; the coal fire had been on, the bedside lamp was off, her clothes were neatly folded and placed on a wooden chair, and on the mantelpiece was a half full glass of stout, which two people had shared. In fact, the only detritus in the room was a used condom and the broken handle of a fire poker.
Just like Evelyn Oatley, Margaret Lowe was semi-clad and lying flat on her back; her lifeless body spread diagonally across her double divan bed, as resting on a blood-soaked pillow was her purple swollen head, as the wide inky black pupils of her bloodshot eyes stared vacantly towards the door.
And as before, his attack was swift, violent and shocking, as having struck Margaret across the left side of her face, head and jaw with a metal fire-poker, he used such force that the poker broke. With his victim suitably subdued, grabbing a black stocking off the chair, he tied the taut nylon so tightly, it left a one inch indentation around her neck, and having securely knotted it, with the blood forcing her swollen purple face to rupture and mucus to seep from her nose and mouth, as she gasped her last few gulps of air, during her last few moments alive, he set about mutilating the rest of her body.
With her nightdress rucked-up around her bare breasts, her legs spread wide and her knees drawn-up to her hips, lying between her thighs (as if he was showing off his trophies) was a white handled bread knife, a black handled table knife, a potato peeler and a broken piece of fire-poker.
Across her abdomen was a five inch wound, so deep it exposed her intestines and sliced her uterus. Along her right thigh was a ten inch slash, so deep it severed her great saphenous vein, bleeding so profusely her bed was soaked with blood. And all of which he did when she was either alive, dying or unconscious. And in a final act of humiliation, with her electric metal torch in the kitchen and nothing else to hand, he inserted a six inch candle deep into her vagina, almost as if it was his birthday.
The autopsy of Margaret Florence Campbell Lowe was conducted at Paddington Mortuary (once again) by Sir Bernard Spilsbury in the presence of Chief Inspector Edward Greeno, and the similarities between all three victims were unnerving.
They'd all been robbed; as having found Margaret's handbag hidden behind a paper carrier-bag in the kitchenette, the bank books and anything identifiable remained, but her money was missing.
They all had items stolen; from Evelyn Hamilton he'd taken a handkerchief and a pencil, from Evelyn Oatley an initialled silver cigarette case, and from Margaret Lowe, also a silver cigarette case. And yet, if he truly was a sexual sadist, why didn't he steal souvenirs like panties, bras and stockings?
Although violated, none of these women had been raped; as with no semen found in any of their vaginas and a discarded condom found on Margaret's bed, did sex take place, or was he incapable?
They had all been mutilated; both pre-and-post mortem, using a strange selection of knives, razors and kitchen cutlery (including a can opener and a potato peeler), none of which he'd brought with him, instead making-do with whatever was to hand, suggesting their murders weren't premeditated?
They had all been violated; having inserted various objects into their vaginas, including (possibly) a metal torch with Evelyn Hamilton, a metal torch and (potentially) a set of curling tongs with Evelyn Oatley and a six inch candle and (potentially) a fire-poker with Margaret Lowe, none of which he'd brought with him, instead – once again - making-do with whatever was to hand?
And they had all been strangled; and although he'd changed his MO, having manually strangled Evelyn Hamilton and Evelyn Oatley with his hand, and garrotted Margaret Lowe with a black stocking, by the way he had left it tied around her neck, once again, the Police knew that the attacker was left-handed.
Margaret Florence Lowe was unmistakably his third victim. And again, he had made a big mistake. As Superintendent Frederick Cherrill of Scotland Yard's Print Bureau had dusted the crime-scene and found three sets of his fingerprints; one on the base of the candlestick (having removed the candle to violate her), one on the bottle of spout (which he'd poured in the kitchen) and one on the half full glass of stout he had left on the mantelpiece, featuring both of their fingerprints and suggesting they had shared a final drink. And although they didn't match any on the Police index files, the fingerprints matched those found on the can-opener and the compact mirror which belonged to Evelyn Oatley.
But by the time of Margaret Lowe's autopsy, it was too late. As with her mutilated body having lay undiscovered for three days, and the Police only aware of two unrelated murders in two different streets, they had no idea that a sadistic spree-killer was on the loose.
So by Thursday 12th February 1942, four days into his five day killing spree, with three women dead, and three unsuspecting women walking the streets, unaware of the horror which awaited them, he headed back into the West End, and The Blackout Ripper would go in search of his next victim.

I have some exiting news! The Murder Mile True-Crime Podcast has been nominated in the Best True-Crime Podcast category at this year's British Podcast Awards, alongside those titans of documentary-making BBC World Service and BBC Radio (yes, the company who made me redundant almost five years ago), as well as two fabulous independent UK true-crime podcasts; They Walk Among Us (who were deservedly last year's winners) and (this year's nubies, just like myself) S'laughter True Crime Podcast. Both of whom are hugely deserving of this very prestigious award, owing to their hard work, research, dedication and commitment to the spirit of independent podcasting. And even if Murder Mile doesn't win the award, I'm honoured to be included amongst this amazing group, and this will truly be a big win for all of us independent podcasters.

Das Faustprojekt ist ein Projekt für Schulen auf Basis des Originaltextes von Goethes Faust 1 und Faust 2. Trägerin des Projekts ist die Fondazione L'Unione Europea Berlin, die bereits das Nonoprojekt als gemeinnütziges Unterrichtsprojekt für Schulen in Europa entwickelt hat.

Redaktionsteam
Verantwortlich für die Entwicklung des Faustprojekts und die redaktionelle Bearbeitung der Faustadaption ist ein Autorenteam von Incontri Europei.

Die deutsche Fassung
Zielvorgabe war die Erstellung eines Textes, der Schulen die Befassung mit den beiden Teilen von Goethes Faust 1 und 2 auf Basis des Originaltextes erlaubt und erleichtert, der zugleich aber auch schulinterne Aufführungen im Format eines Kammerspiels ermöglicht.
Ausgewählt wurden durch das Redaktionsteam insgesamt 21 Textpassagen: aus Faust Teil 2 jeweils eine Passage aus jedem der fünf Akte, aus Faust Teil 1 mehrere Passagen bis zu der Kerkerszene.

Das Autorenteam verständigte sich auf das Prinzip, in der Reihenfolge der ausgewählten Szenen exakt den Goethe-Text widerzuspiegeln und die Geschichte von Goethes Faust vom Ende her zu erzählen. Prinzip war, die ausgewählten Teile aus dem Text Goethes in einer umgekehrten Reihenfolge anzuordnen und diese Umkehrung stringent einzuhalten, also dabei nicht zu springen, den Text Goethes nicht als Steinbruch zu benutzen und auch nicht etwa modernistisch willkürlich in Form einer neugeformten Collage abzubilden.
So beginnt die neue Fassung mit einem Zitat von Mephisto aus Akt 5 von Faust Teil 2, das gleichsam das Motto zu dieser modernen Faustversion bildet:

Die Folge mit den Vier Grauen aus Faust Teil 2 erscheint als zweite Sequenz. Der Prolog wiederum aus Faust Teil 1 mutierte zur vorletzten Folge. Mit den beiden letzten Zeilen aus der Zueignung vom Anfang von Faust Teil 1 endet die neue Faustversion:

Die Sequenzen und Textpassagen, neu angeordnet in dieser gedrehten Form, ergeben in der Spielabfolge einen neuen eigenen Sinn. Der umgedrehte Faust ist als ein Fünf-Personen-Stück (Faust, Mephisto, Margarete, Marthe, Valentin) ein Kammerspiel, das ohne Pause in eineinhalb Stunden – auch szenisch – an Schulen aufführbar ist.
Inhaltlich wird durch die umgekehrte Abfolge der Passagen in dieser Faust-Version erreicht, dass Margarete am Leben bleibt und daher zusammen mit Marthe gegenüber dem Männerduo Faust & Mephisto bis zum Ende einen Counterpart spielen kann.

Die französische Fassung
Der vorliegende deutsche Text Die Farben des Schachs wurde in einem weiteren Arbeitsschritt von dem Autorenteam auch in französischer Sprache erarbeitet – Titel: Les Cahiers de Perséphone, wobei sich die Autoren an die Übersetzung durch Gérard de Nerval hielten, die 1827 erschienen ist, und die für Jugendliche heute geeigneter erscheint als die neuere Übersetzung durch Jean Lacoste und Jacques Le Rider  Éditions Bartillat aus dem Jahr 2009.

Editionen und Widmung
Die gedruckten Ausgaben für das Faustprojekt sind dokumentiert als deutsche Fassung mit dem Titel Die Farben des Schachs sowie als französische Fassung mit dem Titel Les Cahiers de Perséphone – beide in der Edition der Fondazione L'Unione Europea Berlin. Die Editionen zum Faustprojekt sind dem Berliner Kunstförderer Peter Raue gewidmet, einem der maßgeblichen Weggefährten des Nonoprojekts der Stiftung.

Das Faustische
Goethe hat mit Faust I und II ein Vermächtnis der Unausweichlichkeit des Weges der Menschheit in die Apokalypse hinterlassen – im Namen der Weimarer Klassik als Referenzrahmen für nachfolgende Generationen. Jeder, der sich mit Goethes Faust und dem Fauststoff auseinandersetzt, ist mit dem facettenreichen Begriff des Faustischen konfrontiert, der zum einen von Goethes Werk geprägt ist, und der zum anderen aber auch seine fatalen Wurzeln und seine folgenreichen zerstörerischen Auswirkungen in der deutschen Geschichte findet. Goethes Faust ist das Drama einer immerwährenden Dystopie, ein zukunftspessimistisches Szenario in der rückwärtsgewandten Prägung der Weimarer Klassik.

Vor diesem Hintergrund ist die Initiative für das Faustprojekt durch die Fondazione L'Unione Europea Berlin als eine Aufforderung zu verstehen, das Faustische aus der eigenen Lebensplanung zu streichen und dennoch zugleich in einem überschaubaren Zeitrahmen die Problematik des komplexen Werks von Goethes Faust I und II zu erfassen. Entsprechend heißt es im Vorwort zu den Editionen Die Farben des Schachs und Les Cahiers de Perséphone:

Another Rough Ride for Maple Leafs Fans
November 30, 2010 by Michael Hill
Filed under lifestyle
Since the National Hockey League (NHL) lockout in 2004-05, Toronto Maple Leafs fans have had it rough. With horrendous season records, consistently missing the playoffs and a franchise associated with the league's worst, patience is wearing thin. After acquiring team-building wiz Brian Burke, the Leafs hope to get its beloved franchise back on track, but is this the year?
Although they began with a bang, the Leafs have caught a recent snag, posting a meagre 2-6-2 record in their last 10 games, slowly sliding back down to an all-too-familiar and unsettling position. Currently the Leafs sit last in the division, and 12th in the Eastern Conference. With 12 members of its roster 25 years old or younger, maturity appears to be a factor.
"The biggest problem they have on the ice right now is their lack of experience and their lack of depth up the middle," comments TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger. "They've signed, from unrestricted free agency, young players that they believe will fit into the greater dynamic of the Leafs. Whether or not that materializes is anyone's guess."
Well, Brian Burke sure hopes it does. On Nov. 29, 2008, Burke was named president and general manager of the Leafs in the hopes of working his magic on the wilting organization. Burke has made a name for himself as a gifted manager, helping to revitalize the Vancouver Canucks by signing elite players such as brothers Daniel and Henrik Sedin, as well as adding the final pieces to the puzzle with the Anaheim Ducks, winning the Stanley Cup in 2006-07.
Wasting no time, Burke sought out some much-needed grit for the Leaf's ailing roster. After trading Boston its first-round draft pick – consequently, Tyler Seguin – for right-winger Phil Kessel, Burke continued making several aggressive moves. In early 2009, Burke acquired newly named captain Dion Phaneuf in a multi-player swing with the Calgary Flames, also picking up defenceman Keith Aulie and left-winger Fredrik Sjöström in the move. Phaneuf recently suffered a leg laceration to his left thigh after becoming entangled with Ottawa Senator Peter Regin. The gash required surgery and Phaneuf is out for four to six weeks.
"They may find a way to be in the mix, but I still see them on the outside looking in." – TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger
Burke also packed more muscle to the blue line by signing defenceman Francois Beauchemin and Brett Lebda, while grabbing some young offensive power in right-winger Colby Armstrong, left-winger Clarke MacArthur and right-winger Kris Versteeg. Armstrong has been missing from the lineup after a tendon popped in his hand during a freak injury against the Florida Panthers last month. He is expected to return soon.
"We've seen the signs already that this can be a very entertaining team, and a team that can surprise you with [its] ability to score goals. But there's a lot of pressure on those young guys," says Dreger.
It's no secret that over the last few seasons the Leafs have suffered between the pipes. In hopes of solving its goaltending woes, Burke moved goaltender Vesa Toskala and left-winger Jason Blake to Anaheim for net-minder J.S. Giguère, as well as signing possible future-starter Jonas Gustavsson. Despite the team's poor record, both tenders have recorded fairly solid numbers. Giguère is currently out one to two weeks with a groin strain, further adding to the Leafs's recent string of injuries.
"When Giguère was brought in he was brought in for two reasons. Number 1, he was brought in to be the starting goaltender for the Maple Leafs: they needed stability in that position, and Toronto believes he still has enough gas in the tank, and the evidence is there to support that," explains Dreger. "Although he feels the push from Gustavsson, he also realizes he's there, and in a small way, to mentor Gustavsson into the goaltender that he can be in the future."
Significant moves have been made, but the Leafs are still in a rebuilding phase. It's not easy for so many new players to instantly meld into a coherent squad, and having such high expectations may be unreasonable this early in its evolution. Although they have struggled as of late, the Leafs have what it takes to be a threat. "They may find a way to be in the mix, but I still see them on the outside looking in," concludes Dreger.

Hosted by Campaign Committee Member, Audrey Backhouse, and her husband Nick, guests arrived at their beautiful home to be greeted by an awe-inspiring view of the Chichester Channel.
With blue skies, the sea like a millpond and the heady summer heat, spirits were high and chatter bubbled across the terraces.
Chair of the Campaign Committee, Lis Spence, gave guests an overview of the DREAMBUILDING project and the communities' need for a new purpose-built Hospice.
Then, as high tide approached framing the glorious view, guests were treated to entertainment from Steve Elias and three up-and-coming talented young artists from London. Accompanied by pianist, Zara Nunn, they performed a medley of well-known show songs as the sun set over the water.

Health Politics U.S.WND
Gov. Cuomo questions comprehensive lockdown strategy
'If you isolate all people, you may be actually exposing the more vulnerable'
By Art Moore
Published March 27, 2020 at 1:32pm
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (New York state website)
New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, whose handling of the coronavirus has been in the national spotlight, is questioning the unprecedented policy of quarantining the entire population to combat the pandemic.
Echoing President Trump's emphasis on restarting the economy, Cuomo expressed doubt for a third straight day during his daily briefing Thursday about the comprehensive lockdown strategy, the New York Post reported.
"We closed everything down. That was our public health strategy," Cuomo said. "If you re-thought that or had time to analyze that public health strategy, I don't know that you would say, 'Quarantine everyone.'"
On Wednesday, he said the shelter-in-place policy may be backfiring by confining vulnerable older people with younger family members.
"I don't even know that that was the best public health policy. Young people then quarantined with older people, [it] was probably not the best public health strategy," he said. "The younger people could have been exposing the older people to an infection."
The Post reported Cuomo's office said the governor's remarks were based on a study by Yale professor David Katz espousing a theory of "risk stratification."
Katz advises isolating only the vulnerable people rather than everyone.
Cuomo cited Katz at his Monday briefing in Albany.
"And if you isolate all people, you may be actually exposing the more vulnerable people by bringing in a person who is healthier and stronger and who may have been exposed to the virus, right," the governor said.
'County by county'
Cuomo, nevertheless, has pushed back against Trump's desire to restore commerce and public life by Easter, arguing the apex of the pandemic in New York is still two to three weeks away.
But the White House told governors in a letter Thursday it will provide them with health data "on a county by county basis" as guidance, urging them to make the best decisions for their states.
Vice President Mike Pence, in an interview Friday with the Fox Business Network, said new guidance will be issued next week, when the current "15 Days to Slow the Spread" is scheduled for review.
"There's going to be areas of the country where we have to support our governors and mitigation efforts have to stay very strong and in some cases even become stronger," he told host Stuart Varney.
"But for much of the country, where the outbreak is very limited, the president is anxious to give guidance based on the data to our governors," the vice president said, "so that they can decide — whether it be reopening businesses or reopening schools — about the best way to open our country up again."
On the New York state website, a message at the top of the home page says: "Governor Cuomo has put NY State on PAUSE: All non-essential workers are directed to work from home, and everyone is required to maintain a 6-foot distance from others in public."
See Vice President Mike Pence's FBN interview Friday:
'We have to do both'
Cuomo said Wednesday that any "restart" of commerce "would be conditioned upon the FDA approving tests that would allow doctors to determine if patients have immunity to the deadly disease."
"Younger people can go back to work. People who have resolved can go back to work," he said. "People who — once we get this antibody test — show that they had the virus and they resolved can go back to work.
"That's how I think you do it. ... It's not [that] we're going to either do public health or we're going to do economic development and restarting. We have to do both."
