Two Roads Diverge…
Recently listening to eminent Jungian Analyst James Hollis lecture from his book, What Matters Most, he raised the issue of fate and suggested we are faced by the limiting powers of fate as well as the developmental power of destiny. The result – we may set off in one direction and end up somewhere else.
Recently while developing a story for ZenMen, (my blog on my previous life as an advertising guy) I encountered a story within a story. It concerned my promotion to manager of the agency with whom I worked. I was sitting across from the President of McGavins Foods while my boss disseminated the news of his retirement and my move up. My client was making a series of positive affirmations and congratulations; needless to say it was one of the more positive moments in my career. Little did I know how far apart destiny would take us.
My client and I shared many similarities. We had both grown up in England, had attended institutions incongruously named public school, actually a private institution where the ruling class were generally educated. Evelyn Waugh once quoted that "anyone who has been to an English public school will always feel comparatively at home in prison" a sentiment that mirrors my own
We were both in our mid forties, smart, successful and at a point where the world was our oyster. The prospect of continued success and growth in the corporate world appeared certain.
Yet within two years I had given it all up, fallen impetuously in love with a younger woman: left my job, my wife and home, my friends and cashed in all my airline points for two first class tickets around the world.
He continued on the predetermined path of commercial success moving from promotion to promotion eventually running the largest brewer in the world and building a legacy to his own success – a 47,000 square foot stately home titled Chelster Hall costing $45 million in Oakville, Ontario.
This moment, a fragment in time that occurred in 1989 brought home once again the fascinating relationship between fate and choice. Hollis would argue that much of what happens to us is outside the sphere of our conscious awareness. In hindsight my course of action at that time seems to verge on the lunatic and I do not recall making a conscious choice. It was as though I was swept away and recall no hesitation or sense of doubt.
The ancient Greeks believed that there was an ultimate agency that predetermines the course of events. Was there an unconscious energy prompting me to act in such an irrational manner?
Four years later an observer could have argued that I had made a really bad decision. The love of my life left me and my life was in tattered ruins. It is as though fate ordained that I leave the comfort of the status quo for a bold new adventure.
Kahil Gibran in his masterpiece The Prophet says, "your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding," It is clear to me today that this was when the true journey of the second half of my life began. Like a deer in the headlights I had no idea what was coming or where I was going. Little did I know that this was the first step in the journey of a cynical type A advertising executive becoming a spiritual coach.

Groundwater and Control Water Legislation
Directive 2000/60/EC establishing a framework for community action in the field of water policy The Water Framework Directive (WFD), which came into force on 22 December 2000, is the most substantial piece of EC water legislation to date. It requires all inland and coastal waters to reach 'good status' by 2015. It is aiming to achieve this by establishing a UK river basin district approach within which demanding environmental objectives will be set, including ecological targets for surface waters. The instruments below are the enabling legislation for the EU Water Framework Directive in Scotland, and England and Wales respectively. They are largely concerned with the development of River Basin Management Plans and enabling new controls on water abstraction, engineering works, point source pollution and diffuse pollution from urban areas and farms including the Water Environment and Water Services (Scotland) Act 2003 and The Water Environment (Water Framework Directive) (England and Wales) Regulations 2003. These instruments are the enabling legislation for the EU Water Framework Directive (2000/60/EC) in Scotland, and England and Wales respectively. They are largely concerned with the development of River Basin Management Plans and enable new controls on water abstraction, engineering works, point source pollution and diffuse pollution from urban areas and farms. See Pending Legislation. The Directive repeals older EC Water Directives and incorporates the remaining existing water directives on Bathing Water, Nitrates and Urban Waste Water Treatment.
Directive 2006/118/EC on the protection of groundwater against pollution and deterioration The 2006 Directive, also know as the 'Groundwater Directive' established specific measures in order to prevent and control groundwater pollution. The measures include the assessment of groundwater chemical status, and the identification and reversal of significant and substantial upward trends. Member states must meet groundwater quality standards set out by the directive (for nitrates, pesticides, etc).
Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 These regulations set out the requirements for building control authorisation for the construction of soakaways for sewage discharges and came into force on 1 May 2005.
Contaminated Land (Scotland) Regulations 2000 The Regulations make provision in under Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 for the remediation of contaminated land. The Regulations identify sites known as 'special sites' for which SEPA is to be the enforcing authority. Local authorities are responsible for enforcing the scheme in the case of any other type of site. Guidance is also provided for the content and service of copies of 'remediation notices' served by a local authority or SEPA specifying what is to be done by way of remediation and the time limits within which action must be taken. These Regulations came into force on 14 July 2000. The 2000 Regulations provided the circumstances in which contaminated land required designation as a special site, and provide for a remediation regime. The Contaminated Land (Scotland) Regulations 2005 amended previous legislation enabling Scottish Ministers to make regulations for or in connection with regulating any activity for the purposes of protecting "the water environment".
Control of Pollution (Application, Appeals and Registers) Regulations 1996 Cited as the Control of Pollution (Applications, Appeals and Registers) Regulations 1996 which came into force on 31 December 1996, these Regulations outline the procedures for consents in England and Wales under the Water Resources Act 1991.
Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations SI 2016/475 These Regulations, covering England and Wales only, expand the existing environmental permitting system through integrating regimes covering water discharge consents, groundwater authorisations and radioactive substances and waste batteries. These Regulations came into force on the 6th April 2016.
Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010 as amended The Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010 came into force on 6 April 2010. They provide a consolidated environmental permitting system in England and Wales. They extend the environmental permit system to cover water discharge consents, groundwater authorisations and radioactive substances authorisations. The Regulations also transpose the permitting parts of the batteries Directive into the new system. The intention is to enable businesses and regulators to gradually adopt a one permit, one-regulator, one-site regime. This will reduce costs and cut red tape whilst continuing to protect the environment. This phase is called 'Environmental Permitting Phase 2 (EPP2); this affects businesses that:
Discharge to rivers, lakes, estuaries or coastal waters, etc.
Discharge substances to groundwater
Use or disposal of radioactive substances or wastes.
Organisations holding a current water discharge consent, groundwater authorisation or radioactive substances authorisation do not have to re-apply. Existing consents or authorisations automatically become environmental permits under the new regulations. A list off amendments to the 2010 Regulations is provided below:
Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) (Amendment) (No. 2) Regulations 2010
Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2011
Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) (Amendment) (England) Regulations 2014

The Regulations identify categories of 'special' sites where the Environment Agency is to be the enforcing authority. The Regulations clarify 'remediation notices' which can be served by a local authority or the Environment Agency specifying what is to be done by way of remediation and the time to be taken for action.
The Contaminated Land (Scotland) Regulations 2005 The purpose of the instrument is to amend Part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, which was inserted by section 57 of the Environment Act 1995.

Browsers are sure helpful, but you should only install one at a time. Since the browser uses a lot of RAM power, make sure to limit only a single installation that satisfies all your needs.
I personally use the Google Chrome browser that syncs across devices using the Google account. It helps in browsing, streaming, web development, and maintaining the historical record sync across multi-devices.
If you can't replace the Safari browser. So make sure to uninstall others after use. And if you like one particular browser like chrome or firefox, then make sure to sync the stored passwords and bookmarks from your old browser for a seamless browsing experience.

I have heard several reports that Google Chrome's RAM hunger slows powerful Macs to a crawl. I'm reading this to find an alternative to Chrome. Safari is my default but I encounter enough instances of website incompatibility (especially regarding executing financial transactions) with Safari to want a back-up browser.
Kushal Azza says:
Hello Craig, I agree with the fact that Chrome is a resource-hungry browser. However, I personally use it on my Macbook Air 2017, I find it pretty smooth. Occasionally there are issues when I use along with another heavy program like Video Editor, etc.
Having said that, you can use the Microsoft Edge browser which is a tweaked version of Google Chrome that supports Microsoft 365 instead of Google Account.
William Butler says:
Do you know which (if any) of these browsers have already been prepared to run on the new M1 processors? Or would it be advisable to simply install the IOS version on an M1 Mac Mini?
Also, there are some features of Google Chrome for MacOS that install with the browser that preform functions even when the browser isn't running. They are related to Chrome's automated updating feature and have been show to adversly affect system performance. It has also been stated the Chromium based browsers have omitted this function, making them better, in some respects, than Chrome.
Hello William, I perhaps think that all these browser should support as long as the Apple's Mac OS support M1 processor. These browsers are made for the software and not for the hardware. There will be performance implications though (M1 is consider to be fastest compared to it's predecessor).
Secondly, yes – I agree with the fact that Google Chrome consume a tonne processing power keep the CPU engaged. You can of course limit these processes and Fix the high CPU usage.


Vote. It's only half an hour. People all over the world have died fighting for the right to vote - it won't kill you. And if it reduces day-time telly viewing figures a bit, so much the better.
If you are not a moronic, homophobic, corrupt, faux-socialist scumbag, hold your nose (if you must - I promise you I will need to) and vote for whoever is most likely to beat these mendacious statist cretins. Even if you are somewhere where no-one sensible has a chance, vote against them - we must send them a message.
As a minor exception to the point above (unless you actually are a vicious racist fuckwit), if the party you consider most likely to beat Nu-Lab are this bunch of pond-life, then consider exactly what message you are going to send and try to pick another box to cross.
Drink, shout, laugh and cheer.
Anybody but Labour. Do your bit for your country. Get rid of these shits.

Working on your own at home is fine (and I quite like it) but of course it has its downsides too. For instance when you have a job you go to each day, then you get all that social contact, and if you get on with the people you work with then it can be fun too.
I sort of miss that a little, but the freedoms I have now far outweigh any small misgivings I have about the team thing and missing the camaraderie. You may feel the same.
And of course while you're doing your thing and working from home, there's nothing to stop you from forming an alliance with a like minded person or two and then creating a business from it.
The thing is, just by being "out there" and doing stuff like product creation and getting your name known, you'll inevitably bump into people along the way who share your enthusiasm and most importantly "get it" and who are on your wavelength.
It doesn't happen every day, or even that often, but when it does you should grab the opportunity with both hands.
Sometimes you'll find that you already know the person, but events just get in the way until one day you find that things are just right and you can get your act together.
Let's not forget that when you work on your own, then every so often FEAR raises it's head and you start to think you're going to fail.
FEAR stands for False Evidence Appearing Real.
If you're working with someone else, then that fear of failure – which is just an emotion – largely disappears because suddenly you find yourself busy doing important stuff and you have goals to achieve.
Is there someone out there than you can form an alliance with?
An alliance that will mutually benefit both of you.
I reckon if you stop to think for a few moments then you'll come up with at least two people you've met either online or off that you could work with and split the profits.
Why not drop them a line or give them a call and ask if they want to work on a small project with you? Nothing too big, just a 30-day project to begin with, and create a new product and get it to market.
Two of you working together will mean you start to spark off each other and you'll come up with some great ideas. You'll find you always have different resources you've both found to share with each other which can then be used to help you in your venture.
My suggestion to you today is you put aside 30 minutes and call or write to someone and ask them if they wouldn't be interested in working with you on a small project.
You'll almost certainly find that they'll say yes.
I think one of the things that some people would be scared of, though, is someone else running off with their idea.
That said, the old adage is definitely correct: two heads are better than one.
Nobody is good at everything so finding a "left glove" to go with your "right glove" attributes is a way of doing so much more than 2 people can do separately.
I wonder how many people who've read your post will wish they could find someone to partner with – but never take the step of approaching anyone? I'm willing to bet it's a very, very hefty majority.
As they say, if you don't ask you'll never know – will you?
@Amin: Aha! So nice to "hear" from you again, I was beginning to worry, and I've just been hunting round your sites to see what was going on.
I know you've been very quiet, and I read you'd been ill and flooded out, so I hope that's all behind you now.
You're right, sometimes people do run off with your idea and copy it, but I think those happenings are few and far between. For instance, a dicky bird told me that a large (ish) product launch that happened this time last year was out and out stolen and duplicated by someone who was supposed to have been partnering on it. So we saw two copies of what was essentially the same product released at about the same time.
But like I say, that's the exception rather than the rule, and you just have to trust people not to do that – most have the ethics, some don't. I reckon you'd have to be very unlucky to have that happen to you.
And yes, I agree, some people will never take that first step – it's usually the hardest.
Sometimes its difficult to trust people when we are starting out. Only when we truly know the person do we value their contribution.
@Eruwan Gerry: Yep. I find that by giving trust I get it back in return. Very few people are amoral enough to react badly to trust.
You failed to mention one important benefit of having partners. One of the best parts of having others work with you is that you can have each person concentrate on what he or she does best. One person might be great at graphics and site design while another would excel at copy righting.
Plus, having people work with each other will increase the odds that deadlines are met, products that are promised are delivered, and that follow-up is done correctly. These are all critical parts of any Internet Business and sometimes one person just cannot do everything in an efficient and timely manner.
Thanks for another useful post on your blog.
UK marketing specialist a couple of weeks ago about a possible JV project I thought might have been of interest.
"My suggestion to you today is you put aside 30 minutes and call or write to someone and ask them if they wouldn't be interested in working with you on a small project.
And I guess some will simply ignore the suggestion without giving an answer at all.
Cheers, and all the best, Frank!
Great article, Frank, and some very insightful commentary, too.
Fear is probably the biggest barrier to anything we attempt for the first time, whether business or life in general. I've found that if you give your fear a shape, a color and even a size, that it lessens by the mere act of so doing.
Taking action, even small steps diminishes it, too. I also agree that the synergy between two complementary souls can magnify as they build their project and their relationship together.
For those who break the trust, they will be repaid with their own bad karma… all in due time, as that's just how the Universe works.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts & ideas — you are terrific in my book!


New India was a daily newspaper "which for fifteen years was a powerful instrument promoting Home Rule and revolutionizing Indian journalism." In 1914, Annie Besant purchased an Indian newspaper, the Madras Standard, and on August 1 of that year changed its name to New India. She revised the editorial policy so that the newspaper supported the movement for Indian Nationalism. By the end of the year its circulation had risen to 10,000. The newspaper remained in print until May 1929.
Many issues of this newspaper have been microfilmed and are available at the Adyar Library and Research Centre at the international headquarters of the Theosophical Society based in Adyar, Chennai, India.

Half a table placed against a mirror changes into a whole table. That is the idea behind Half A Table. Designers Miriam van der Lubbe and Niels van Eijk play with optical illusions; although due to the thickness of the mirror it is still clear that it is a small sideboard. However, the size of the mirror will make the room feel bigger.

Burger King profits stumble after stock market listing
One-off charges at fast-food giant Burger King has led to a quarterly loss in its first results release since going public in May.
A one-time management termination fee of $30m (£15.9m) in the fourth quarter relating to flotation on the New York Stock Exchange resulted in a loss of $9m (£4.77m) in the final quarter of the year.
This, and one-off debt payments in the third quarter, reduced company net income for the year to $27m (£14.3), compared with $47m (£24.9m) in 2005.
Company turnover increased to a high of $2.05b (£1.09b), 6% higher than 2005.
Burger King chief executive John Chidsey said: "We have worked diligently with our franchises in the USA and Canada during the past two years to strengthen the health of our restaurants as we continue to grow our global brand."
Burger King expects to open more than 400 new sites during 2007. It currently has more than 11,100 restaurants worldwide, predominantly franchised.

How am I doing so far? Let's see.
Define "strange". On the whole, I'd go with this one. 1!
3. Remember thou keep the Sabbath Day.
I think that should actually be "thou keepest". Or is imperative conjugated differently? I'm not sure. As for the substance of the commandment, all the stores and businesses are closed in Europe on Sunday, so I'll take that as a yes. 2!
Though we've had our differences, I do honor mom and dad, as far as that goes. 3!
This is soo easy! 4!
Hmmm. I'm not married. Does that count? 5!
Well, I stole lunch today. Bzzzzzzt.
Nope, don't lie about people. 6!
Considering my neighbors, this is a slam-dunk. 7!
10. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's goods.
I'm not much of a materialist, not that there's anything wrong with being a materialist. Still, it would be nice if my heater worked like the guy's upstairs...doh! Bzzzzzzzt!
Well, 7 out of 10. That's not half bad for not even trying.

Koodo should carry a higher end Windows phone for customers who are looking to get a good reliable windows phone. HTC 8X, Nokia 920 something like that! would open more doors for Windows lovers.
Vous devriez inclure dans votre ligne de produits un Windows phone 8.1.
I'd really like it if you carried windows phones. My plan will be up next year and I'd like to switch to Koodo, but I won't unless I can still have a windows phone 8 device.
When are you getting Windows 8 Phones, three months now since launched.
Windows phones are hard to come by. Koodo should get the Nokia lumia 625, 1020, 1520, etc.
why cant windows find my phone when it rings when i call it.
Add a Windows Phone 8 device.
I know this has been sugested before but just the throw it back out there.Maybe the Lumia 520 or Lumia 925.

24 hours to bid for £1m London 'culture borough' with Tower Hamlets a hot favourite

Town Halls have less than 24 hours left to bid for the £1 million London 'Borough of Culture' title—with tomorrow's midday deadline.

But Tower Hamlets council is already on the case with its early campaign launch last month to be London's culture capital and set to be a 'favourite' with the East End's great reputation for international festivals.
Two winning London boroughs are being chosen by City Hall in February, one for 2019, the other for 2020.
The 'civic pride' idea comes from Mayor of London Sadiq Khan's pledge to boost our "international culture powerhouse" reputation for artistic vision to "shine a light" on cultural treasures and encourage the public to get involved.

"This will show the world we have cultural gems," the mayor said. "I want boroughs to celebrate their heritage and creativity."
The East End is already rich in internationally-renowned culture gems and venues such as Brick Lane's annual Mela festival, Tower Bridge, The People's Palace at Mile End, the Half Moon theatre in Limehouse, Whitechapel Gallery, Bow Arts, Wilton's music hall at Whitechapel, Victoria Park's music festivals, London Docklands and V&A Children's museums, St Catharine's Docks and of course the great granddaddy of them all—the Tower of London.
It has backing from London Assembly's Unmesh Desai, representing Tower Hamlets at City Hall, who said: "This melting pot of cultures and communities reflects modern multi-cultural London with its thriving arts scene.

"This bid is testimony to its rich tapestry of history and heritage that has withstood challenging times."
Poplar and Limehouse MP Jim Fitzpatrick is also backing the bid. He said: "The East End has a proud heritage and now needs to open the arts and creative industries to everyone—culture is a symbol of the community that drives investment and tourism."
Top celebs backing the bid from the world of theatre, film and TV who have made the East End their home include Sir Ian McKellen, who lives at Limehouse, and Dame Helen Mirren, living in Wapping.
The campaign to make Tower Hamlets "the London borough of culture" was launched last month on the day a deal was signed with AEG International promoters for the All Points East major festival and community events at Victoria Park for the next five years. The four community weekdays a year in the deal include school programmes, local bands, choirs and youth groups, as well as ping pong, lawn golf and giant jenga.
The East End's traditional cultural global mix makes Tower Hamlets "quite simply the best London borough", the town hall will have you know.
Its global flavour melts in with 'home' culture like the Cockney festival launched during the 2012 London Olympics.
Heritage and creativity are evident in markets and high streets such as Shoreditch, Columbia Road, Whitechapel and Brick Lane, while Docklands and The Tower are integral parts of London's maritime and royal history, they point out.
Latest online figures show Tower Hamlets has well over 2,000 pledges of public support and rising.


BUJUMBURA May 30th (ABP) – The Ministry of Justice held a press conference on Monday, May 28, 2018 in Bujumbura during which it warned judges and magistrates of higher and lower courts who fall into the trap of corruption or other unworthy and inhumane behavior. According to the Director of the judicial organization and State Attorney at the Court of Justice of the East African Community, Mr. Nestor Kayobera, it has been seen in recent days, some senior magistrates of the Court of Appeal, those of the General Prosecution of the Court of Appeal, the high courts and even the courts of residence who were caught, arrested and even detained in some prisons of Burundi, especially the central prison of Mpimba, because of corruption.
Mr. Kayobera recalled that last year, necessary measures to fight against corruption had been taken but he regrets to see in recent days, magistrates arrested for corruption. He said that the day of May 28, 2018 was dedicated by the Ministry of Justice to start a campaign of execution, observation and verification of judgments in five provinces of the country. It is also an opportunity to inform judges and magistrates that they must be aware that rigorous and immediate measures will be taken against them, especially in relation to corruption.
Recalling that there are magistrates who have recently been caught with the offense of bribery and that even a whole siege has been imprisoned in Mpimba Central Prison, Kayobera added that it is in this perspective that the Ministry of Justice would like to appeal to judges and magistrates that they must take all necessary measures to ensure that they are not caught in corruption-related offenses.
On the question of the trial in connection with the candidacy for the third term of President Pierre Nkurunziza, which is at the Court of the East African Community, Mr. Kayobera indicated that the judgment was rendered in the Appeals Chamber because the State had won in the 1st Division of that Court. He said he cannot say much about this judgment, because according to him, the State has not yet been served and does not have a copy of judgment. He promised to speak after seeing the judgment copy and remain confident that he will not lose on the record.He also appealed to the heads of the courts, prosecutor's offices and public prosecutor's offices to make the necessary disciplinary decisions because, he said, the code of ethics of judges is clear. An official who leaves unpunished an abuse he is responsible for punishment, exposes himself to disciplinary sanctions compared to his superiors, he said. The Burundian people need fair and impartial justice, he said.
It should be noted that over the past year, 21 judges and magistrates have been dismissed for corruption, Kayobera said.

Voting by mail is still considered a privilege in many states. While a majority of the states allow any eligible voter to request a ballot by mail — and four states now even conduct their elections entirely by mail — many states still place restrictions on which voters may request a mail-in ballot. Restrictions like this only serve to make elections less accessible and discourage participation.
Meanwhile, robust, no-excuse vote by mail programs – more than almost any other type of voting law – make it easier for eligible voters to exercise their fundamental right to vote. From college students and night-shift workers to constant travelers and individuals with less mobility, almost everyone can benefit from being able to cast their ballot by mail from the convenience of their home.
Not only do accessible vote by mail laws make elections more convenient, they also save money and create a more secure system. By avoiding the traditional costly Election Day polling location staffing and machine requirements, state and local governments save time and money. For instance, when Montana considered all-mail elections, the state's clerk and recorder association estimated that it would have saved taxpayers $2 million each election cycle. Additionally, vote by mail ultimately provides a more secure system by ensuring a paper trail, leading to more confidence in our elections.
Each of these metrics provides useful insight into how easy it is for a voter to cast a ballot by mail.

A Closer Look At How LAw Works... in the United States
Islam.
The reason so many people... especially so called "black" people are lost when it comes to the law is because they don't know what the word LAW means... or why they are so heavily oppressed by it. So let's clear it up.
As you can see above... LAW means- a binding custom or practice of a community: a rule of conduct or action prescribed or formally recognized as binding or enforced by a controlling authority.
Hopefully the 💡 came on when you read that... but just in case... let's qualify what was said.
Law is a BINDING CUSTOM or PRACTICE of a COMMUNITY. Now lets reverse engineer the statement.
The community would be society... or what is called the United States... and the law is the binding custom or practice of the society i.e. the United States.
The United States operates on English common law.
Common Law- the body of law developed in ENGLAND primarily from judicial decisions based on CUSTOM or precedent, UNWRITTEN in STATUTE or CODE, and constituting the basis of the ENGLISH LEGAL SYSTEM and OF the SYSTEM in ALL the U.S. except Louisiana.
👀 Yes... you read that right. The United States is governed by the laws of England... except in Louisiana where they use the Civil Law system which a blend of the common law and Napoleonic Code.
Is the stench of COLONIALISM strong enough yet?
So let's make this clear... the United States was created by the English, first INCORPORATED in ENGLAND in 1783, uses the LAW (English common law) that was developed in ENGLAND (Europe) based on CUSTOM (English custom) which became the basis of the English Legal SYSTEM... that is now being in used in AMERICA.
That is called COLONIAL OCCUPATION... but let's qualify it.
First... the United States was set up as a republic... not a democracy. In fact, if you look for the word democracy in the Constitution... you won't find it. I'll save you the trouble. It's not in the Declaration of Independence either.
So how did the United States become a democracy? The answer rests with The Act for the District of Columbia in 1871. It definitely wasn't at the will of the people.
Now... who was the United States created for... and who did it exclude? It was created for the people commonly called "white"... Europeans... and it excluded everyone else... especially negroes and coloreds... now commonly called African American or black. Go read the Dred Scott v. Sanford decision handed down by the Supreme Court in 1857.
So the United States... the society or community was created for... and is represented by LAW as being "white" people who are really Europeans by pedigree... enforcing foreign... English common law on indigenous people... Americans... in America.
The second part to the definition of LAW was a rule of conduct or action prescribed or formally recognized as binding or enforced by a controlling authority.
A rule of conduct or action prescribed... stop right there. It says see PRESCRIBE sense 1a. Let's look at it.
Prescribe means to lay down a rule... DICTATE. So the English common law has been laid down as rule in America. It is being DICTATED by and ENFORCED by the CONTROLLING AUTHORITY.
Are you following this script? I am just breaking down simple dictionary definitions and showing you what the truth really is.
A FEW QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF
Who would you say is the controlling authority in the United States?
Who would you say benefits more from the U.S. legal system... so called "white" people" or "black" people?
Who gets justice in the U.S. legal system and who doesn't?
Where do you think so called "white" privilege comes from?
If "white" is a status of privilege... what is the "status" of "black"?
Is it clear to you that the United States is a FOREIGN OCCUPATIONAL GOVERNMENT (corporation) that consists of a FOREIGN NATION of people ruling over the INDIGENOUS AMERICANS using the LAW of THEIR LAND yet?
I will let you read over this and break it down some more for yourselves. Let me know what you think in the comments. If you have questions... ask away.

The Local Government Ombudsman discovered that planning permission was granted, allowing extensions to be built on two terraced houses without Bolton Metropolitan Council applying their own planning policies.
The planning permission was not granted by a junior planning officer, but by senior officers. The planning manager recommended permission to be granted for the two extensions because he believed 'that was what some councillors wanted', which meant the council's policies were over looked.
Only one of the extensions has been built but has caused the neighbouring property daylight problems. The extension is 2 storeys high and 4 meters long and practically fills the back yard which blocks the sunlight from the neighbouring home and small garden. The Ombudsman recommended that Bolton Metropolitan Council compensates the householder £31,500.
If the other extension is built, it will mean the neighbouring householder will have a single story brick wall, angling 20 degrees which will cut off the view from the kitchen window. The Ombudsman recommends the council to revoke the planning permission but if they decide not to, the council should fund the move of the kitchen window and any other costs encountered.
Why do you think council's senior officers decided to grant planning permission without following its own planning policies?

Studies find that job loss can negatively impact physical, not just mental, health
Wednesday, May 20, 2015 by: Antonia
Tags: unemployment, physical health, mental health
https://www.naturalnews.com/049776_unemployment_physical_health_mental.html
(NaturalNews) Most people who have personally experienced a job loss, or know someone who has, understands the emotional toll the unfortunate event can have. However, not many individuals consider the fact that detrimental changes in physical health and job loss also go hand in hand.
Several studies have made this clear, demonstrating that when a person is thrust back into life at home, behaviors may ensue that jeopardize overall health. These findings are in direct contrast to the prevailing thought that just the opposite is true.
In fact, many assume that out-of-work people have more free time to exercise and less money to engage in bad habits like purchase cigarette packs and alcohol. While this is true for some people, who ultimately go on to achieve a weight loss goal or give up cigarettes, there are a great deal who are putting their health in jeopardy after a job loss.
Unemployed gaining weight, not getting adequate sleep
One Bentley University study, for example, determined that those who are out of work developed the mind set that they'd likely not work again and as a result, developed unhealthy habits. The study, which tracked the same people over a long period of time, found that, although there was a decrease in smoking and eating fast food, there was also a decline in physical activity, which led to weight gain. Regarding smoking, while it had decreased, it was discovered that because people were now away from workplace bans and regulations, they still engaged in the habit more freely since they were in their own home.(1)
While many may not eat as much fast food, according to an American Time Use Survey, unemployed people tend to cook more at home. However, instead of making healthy foods, the survey found that they typically make less-balanced meals or eat sugary snacks.(1)
Additionally, a Kaiser Family Foundation/New York Times/CBS News Non-Employed Poll that questioned adults between the ages of 25 and 54 reported the following:
Many of those who are unemployed and able to work report feeling a negative impact on their health and relationships. This group is more likely to say their employment situation is bad rather than good for their physical health (40 percent versus 16 percent), their mental health (40 percent versus 15 percent), their sleep (37 percent versus 8 percent), and their romantic relationships (35 percent versus 15 percent).(2)
How those facing tough economic times can manage their health
With all of this weight gain, increased comfort levels of smoking at home and making unbalanced meals, how then can the unemployed stay healthy?
Today.com contributor Laura T. Coffey asked readers to provide their tips for coping and staying well during difficult times.
When it came to eating better, many people expressed the importance of cooking and growing food at home. One woman from Minnesota thought about her life growing up and turned childhood traditions into current-day reality. "I go back to everything my grandmother knew," she said. "In the summer we plant a garden to cut back on the cost of fresh veggies and I've even learned to can and make my own applesauce, breads and much more. Slowing down and cooking our own food has made a huge change in our family and our finances."(3)
Some created dinner clubs, where people were invited to help cook and provide company for people during difficult times. In other instances, people simply refrained from eating out as frequently and, instead, made healthy meals at home.
People also found that they were more inclined to stay in shape mentally and physically if they always had a tendency to manage finances well. "I have always lived frugally so when I lost my job... I didn't sweat it so much," says a Rhode Island Today.com reader. "It has taught me how much money I really need to live. I have less stress, more exercise."(3)
Clearly, there are many findings showing the health harms that unemployment can bring about, but with the right mind set and proper planning, it's possible to avoid such setbacks and stay healthy.

Daniel Ek: Spotify and free music will save the industry, not kill it
Stuart Dredge
The music streaming pioneer has come under fire from critics such as Taylor Swift for giving away songs. Now he faces a new challenge from Apple

The chief executive of Spotify, Daniel Ek, has predicted that the free online music service will help the industry grow to as much as 10 times its current size, in a future where old distinctions between providers break down.
Having paid out $3bn to music rights holders so far, Spotify is pitching itself as a competitor to traditional broadcasting, having recently added news, weather, podcasts and videos to its service. "The old-world paradigms we used to have are no longer true. When I think about music in the future, I don't make a distinction between what's radio, what used to be the music library, and so on," Ek told the Observer in a rare interview. "It's only going to be listening – and, as that goes forward, this old notion of these different industries or different competitors will collapse and merge together."
Spotify is stepping up its efforts to appeal to mainstream radio listeners by emphasising its collection of playlists "programmed" by an in-house editorial team and suggested to users based on the time of day, popular activities and their listening habits. "We're getting better and better at giving upcoming artists exposure on the service and creating tools to give those new artists a way to market themselves. In the future, people will listen to more music from a bigger variety of artists," said Ek. "And if we build the revenue model around 'freemium' [a business model that gives basic products away for free], the music industry will be much larger than it's ever been before, more artists will be able to make a living by being artists and more people will listen in turn."

Spotify will have to win over its doubters first, including convincing them that it can turn more of its 45 million free users into paying subscribers – it has 15 million of the latter – and thus increase the money earned by artists and songwriters, via its payouts to the labels and publishers that represent them.
Some artists, most famously Taylor Swift, have been criticising Spotify's "freemium" approach, which allows people to listen for free to its basic, advertising-supported service.
The boss of the world's largest music label, Universal Music, called free streaming "not something that is particularly sustainable in the long term". With industry rumours of Apple egging major labels on to restrict Spotify's free service, Spotify is feeling the heat. "It's no secret there's been a lot of debate," said Ek. "In any industry which is in a massive transition, those kinds of debates occur, so I don't think it's surprising. And suppliers always want to get paid more, which is also not very surprising."
Ek added that Spotify is "aligned with the industry" on its desire for more subscribers, but returned to the idea of Spotify as the new radio – traditionally a free, ad-supported medium – to stand his ground. "The entire recorded music industry has somewhere between $14bn and $15bn in trade-sales value. Now look at the radio industry, which in the US alone is around $16bn in revenue and globally is about $80bn – four times the size of the music industry," said Ek. "If we're able to transition the traditional radio behaviour online, you're looking at a music industry that's much larger than it's ever been. If you do that, and also add subscription to the mix, especially at Spotify's conversion rate, you'd be looking at a music industry that would be $100bn to $160bn in size. That's the key argument that I think gets lost here."
Spotify is far from the only company pursuing this aim. Deezer, Rhapsody, Tidal, SoundCloud and other streaming services are jockeying for attention, although it is technology giants Apple and Google that are more likely to be Spotify's nemeses. On Monday, Apple is expected to unveil its new rival to Spotify, with hundreds of millions of iPhone and iPad users to market to, and deep pockets to secure exclusive music from popular musicians.
Google has one service already live under its Google Play brand, and another in testing.
Ek claimed that Spotify's music focus will be its trump card. "We don't really do anything else other than selling music, so we're the most aligned with the music industry," he said. "We don't have the search box that we're making money from, or the hardware that we're making money from."
The downside to this is resources: Spotify reported revenues of €1bn in 2014, compared with Apple's $199.7bn and Google's $66bn. The costs of running a streaming music service – Spotify reported a loss of €165m in 2014 – are a drop in the ocean for hardware and search-engine businesses.
"Yes, obviously it's easier if they want to absorb the costs into other places. But we believe in the business model of Spotify, and believe that ultimately we'll become profitable at some point," said Ek.
"If we think there's 10x potential yet to be unlocked, why wouldn't we invest in that growth rather than optimise for short-term profitability? We think this is a huge opportunity."
