EXCLUSIVE: Jon Voight Endorses Donald Trump for President
Kevin Winter / Getty
LOS ANGELES — Hollywood legend Jon Voight has endorsed Republican Donald J. Trump for President of the United States.
In an interview with Breitbart News Tuesday evening, the Oscar-, Emmy-, and Golden Globe-winning actor said: "I'm not someone who's saying he's the best of this group. I'm saying I like this guy."
"He's an answer to our problems. We need to get behind him. The Republicans need to unite behind this man. We need somebody to go in and reconstruct us in a sort of way, get us back to where we were, who we need to be."
Voight issued the following statement exclusively to Breitbart News:
It is true that we Americans have been part of Donald Trump's life for many years. We were part of his weddings. We were there to see all his children's births. We were part of his great shows: Miss Universe, The Apprentice — and all know, without a doubt, his life has been an open book.
I, Jon Voight, can say, without hesitation, that Donald is funny, playful, and colorful, but most of all, he is honest. When he decided to run for president, I know he did it with a true conviction to bring this country back to prosperity. He is the only one who can do it. No frills, no fuss, only candid truths.
There are many Republicans fighting to keep him from winning the Republican nomination. You know why? Because he has no bull to sell, and everyone will discover the bull most politicians spew out is for their own causes and benefits. They never dreamed they would be losing control.
I am very disappointed at the talk show hosts, also spewing out lies and propaganda against Donald. Why, I wonder? The only thing I can think of is he represents a form of freedom none of them ever saw before, and they are bewildered about it, and frightened about it.
I pray all Americans who have seen and felt the meltdown of America with the Obama years, to please fight for Donald Trump. He will not let us down. I pray for all good people to see clearly what faces us now. The right vote will save our nation.
Voight told Breitbart News that he had shared his statement with Trump earlier this week — though he added that Trump "doesn't seem to need me," noting that "the people have been much ahead of the so-called experts."
He added: "They see his quality, and they feel the frustration of having put people into the Senate, and put people into the Congress, whom they expected to be able to stand up against this Obama onslaught against our Constitution, depleting our country in so many ways, in almost every area. And yet no one was able to stand up against him.
"So we need a guy who has the guts to stand up and just say what has to be said … [Americans] see this playing out in front of them, and that's it."
Voight also noted that Trump's ability to maintain a positive attitude even though "he's got people attacking him from every side" was also a strong argument in his favor.
"It's not right — as if Trump were the danger to our country. He's a patriot, and the people are responding because they know it's exactly what has to happen. Somebody has got to get in there and clean it out — even take the paint off."
Voight said he was very disappointed in Mitt Romney's recent attack on Trump in particular: "We felt so great about his family, we put [Romney's] picture on our refrigerators and so on, and now he turns around and does this, which is so way out of line.
"There are a ton of lies, propaganda, and slander, and its very disturbing. And the American people are saying, 'Hey, this is nonsense.'
"They are on his side now. And they're right to be."

WHO Vows For Broader Action Against Tobacco
To prevent further interference by tobacco industry in public health policies, the strategy requires parties to the treaty to protect national public health policies "from commercial and other vested interests of the tobacco industry."
WHO vows tighter, broader action against tobacco, industry interference.
The World Health Organization (WHO) unveiled a global strategy on Saturday to scale up the tobacco control agenda over the next few years and to prevent further interference by tobacco industry in public health policies.
The strategy, titled the Medium-Term Strategic Framework (MTSF), aims to strengthen implementation of the WHO Framework Convention for Tobacco Control (FCTC), with a roadmap to guide the work of the convention parties, the secretariat and other stakeholders with regards to tobacco control from 2019 to 2025, Xinhua reported.
"The adoption of this strategy marks a key milestone in strengthening the FCTC," said Vera Luiza da Costa e Silva, head of the WHO FCTC Secretariat. "This strategy provides a very clear path forward, with priorities and objectives to reinforce government policies and accelerate global action for more effective implementation of the tobacco control treaty."
The strategy was concluded during the eighth session (COP8) of the FCTC, which brought together over 1,200 participants, including delegations from 148 parties to the global tobacco control treaty and representatives of UN agencies, other intergovernmental organisations and civil society.
They also agreed to maximize transparency to protect FCTC related sessions and proceedings from the intrusion of tobacco industry representatives and interests.
Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus gives a news conference at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, VOA
"More than ever, we need to stay the course and strengthen our commitment to ensure that FCTC efforts to protect and promote public health and sustainable development are not hijacked by the tobacco industry," Costa e Silva said. "We must yield no ground to the tobacco industry."
To prevent further interference by tobacco industry in public health policies, the strategy requires parties to the treaty to protect national public health policies "from commercial and other vested interests of the tobacco industry."
In addition to tighter control actions, the parties also addressed the need for tobacco control efforts to integrate strategies to combat the destructive impacts of tobacco on the environment and sustainable development.

Since it came into force in 2005, the FCTC has resulted in national strategies and legislation that have introduced health warning on packages of tobacco and comprehensive bans on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship.
As the only existing global intergovernmental meeting exclusively devoted to tobacco control, the FCTC COP has served as a platform for policy formulation and the adoption of implementation mechanisms by the parties to the convention. (IANS)

An Act to provide assistance in combating mental retardation through grants for construction of research centers and grants for facilities for the mentally retarded and assistance in improving mental health through grants for construction of community mental health centers, and for other purposes.
In 1955, Congress passed the Mental Health Study Act, leading to the establishment of the Joint Commission on Mental Illness and Mental Health. That Commission issued a report in 1961, which would become the basis of the 1963 Act.
Only half of the proposed centers were ever built; none were fully funded, and the act didn't provide money to operate them long-term. Some states saw an opportunity to close expensive state hospitals without spending some of the money on community-based care. Deinstitutionalization accelerated after the adoption of Medicaid in 1965. During the Reagan administration, the remaining funding for the act was converted into a mental-health block grant for states. Since the CMHA was enacted, 90 percent of beds have been cut at state hospitals.
The CMHA proved to be a mixed success. Many patients, formerly warehoused in institutions, were released into the community. However, not all communities had the facilities or expertise to deal with them. In many cases, patients wound up in adult homes or with their families, or homeless in large cities, but without the mental health care they needed.

A super-delegate can contort his body into arbitrary political positions, and pose as a faithful husband and idealistic young leader, when the reality is the exact opposite.
A super-delegate, in the American political system, is a delegate, especially to a national Presidential nominating convention, who is endowed with super-powers.
Although both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party like to go through the motions of soliciting voter input on who should be the Party's Presidential candidate, actual voters are, to put it mildly, morons. Frequently, the Party must contrive to both thank them for their valued contribution and hit the figurative Revert button.
The hoi polloi tirelessly coalesce around a candidate with inspiring new ideas, be it Bernie Sanders with his untested concept of socialism, or Ron Paul with his assertions that American tourism caused the Middle East to erupt until Jews had to dynamite the World Trade Center during the September 11 attacks. When such candidates gain traction, insiders (the "party-archy") need to turn away from the hoi polloi, consult with other polloi, and pick a candidate who is more electable, electability judged by persons who cannot persuade anyone of any actual idea.
The Democratic Party, although it is built around the idea of democracy, understands that there is always such a thing as "too much of a good thing" (except high tax rates).
The Republican Party teases activists who would like to return America to its erstwhile status as a Constitutional Republic, but understands that this must be balanced against the needs of Boeing, General Electric, and Lockheed, who are, after all, picking up the tab (and, bartender, make mine a double).
The Libertarian Party has relative fidelity to both democracy and the Republic. However, liberty is obviously paramount, which means the Nominating Convention puts nominating a distant second, behind breast-baring and discharging firearms toward the chandeliers.
Both parties operate their Presidential Nominating Conventions under thick tomes of turgid rules, reformed every four years based on who feels he got screwed last time. The rules always provide that, sprinkled in among the elected delegates like antifreeze in the punch bowl are some number of super-delegates. For example, sitting governors, state party chairpersons, mayors of bankrupt cities, members of Congress, and other self-important worthies, get a free pass to the Convention floor. They are ex-officio delegates, a Latin expression based on the fact that most of them sign their names by making the letter X.
They hope to avoid the spontaneity that delayed George McGovern's acceptance speech until three in the morning, resulting in an audience even smaller than the current one.
They hope to avoid excessive adherence to the Convention rules, which in theory would let the process take thirty-two ballots, meaning that the television networks would have to switch formats, from a "special" to the "mini-series," a version of Survivor with all the treachery and most of the pyrotechnics but none of the bikinis. This likewise would minimize the audience and thus the allure of commercial spots.
Infinite elasticity. The super-delegate can contort his body into any number of untenable and incompatible positions on public policy. He can sway with the most gentle of breezes. He can reinvent himself at will. His body is so elastic that he can appear to talk out of both sides of his mouth.
Incredible strength. The super-delegate can "strong-arm" the elected delegates into doing things that go against the very reasons they were elected.
Mind control is a related super-power. Elected delegates look at the super-delegate, in his Brooks Brothers suit and white wing-tip shoes, as a superior life form and not merely a more duplicitous one.
Ability to "bend reality." In the wake of a groundswell to reject the political establishment that lets a rebel "win" a state, super-delegates emerge and declare themselves in favor of the best back-slapper, allowing the peasants with pitchforks to give each other high-fives for their victory while having no lasting effects on the selection process.
Invisibility. As each tax increase produces less revenue than forecast and each new giveaway program attracts twice the "clients" as it was budgeted for, as entire American industries topple under the strain, one after the next, the super-delegate is nowhere to be seen.
Super-delegates gather at watering holes on Tuesdays, as the rest of the nation gathers at voting holes. Any of these gatherings is referred to as a Super Tuesday. Super-delegates may engage in macho sparring, childish dares, and scraping of hooves to determine which is the alpha-male. This was the basis for the Avengers movies. Super-delegates never avenge anything, such as the September 11 attacks, though many obsess with paybacks. Some super-delegates suffer from Jewish amnesia, which is when you forget everything but the grudges.
Some candidates deliberately enter the race without any popular appeal, simply to be the beneficiary if the process collapses and a brokered convention results. This is related to the Republican Party general-election strategy named "Lose slowly."
Although super-delegates are powerful, their super-powers are not sufficient to actually pick a candidate at odds with the will of elected delegates. But what they can do is prevent the popular favorite from winning a majority vote.
At that point, arcane rules come out. When you vote for Ben Carson, God-help-us, what you get is a delegate who is likely to fly to the Convention city and who is "pledged" to vote for Carson. But only on the first ballot; not indeed for the rest of his natural life.
Once the first ballot is conducted and participation of super-delegates renders it inconclusive, the convention becomes "brokered." This means the party conducts a search for stockbrokers, who will sell the outcome to the highest bidder. It is child's play for party leaders to conclude that none of the candidates on the ballot in the states command majority support, and an entirely new Presidential nominee must be found whom no one has voted for.
The Republican Party will put forward someone for whom "it is his turn." (We can skip the "his or her" nicety.) This is typically the exact same nominee who went down in flames four years ago after waxing eloquent about what a fine gentleman the Democrat is and how he would make a fine President.
The Democratic Party, whose candidates had been taking flak for months about having never managed a commercial enterprise larger than a lemonade stand, pick a ninety-year-old Congressman who has never managed anything but a filibuster.

Let your arrangement take center stage when you place it in this minimalist pot. Strong vertical lines sandwich one angled lip for an overall silhouette that is strikingly geometric. And the terracotta material lends a natural, rugged tone to the overall style of this large and noteworthy planter. In versatile gray, it's at once delicate and bold.


The story is told with the humour and warmth essential to any children's story, but particularly one set at Christmas. Hillary is described as a character in great detail – as well as her fondness for Christmas, she also enjoys making lists, and her relationships with her fellow sheep are given a great deal of focus as well. Added to the mix are a number of puns related to both sheep and pop culture, one example being that Santa brought the latest album by 'Ewe 2' for Hillary the previous year, and another being that her favourite Christmas song is Fleece Navidad (they get better or worse depending on how you feel about puns). Tubridy's first picture book, Patrick and the President, was shortlisted for an Irish Book Award, and it's possible that his follow up could have similar success.
As well as the festive pun-laden narrative, the story is brought to life by the illustrations of Chris Judge, the author and illustrator of the award-winning The Lonely Beast. Despite being in black and white, even the colours of Hillary's amazing fleece are brought out, and many of the images enhance the humour of the text and bring it to life.
A genuinely funny, sweet and heart-warming Christmas story, The First Christmas Jumper certainly has the potential to become a modern festive classic in children's books.

CONOLLY CALLS FOR COMMON SENSE ON SCHOOL CROSSING SUPERVISORS
Written on the 23 August 2018 by Kevin Conolly
Member for Riverstone Kevin Conolly has called for a more flexible, common sense approach to the assessment of applications by primary school communities for the employment of crossing supervisors.
"The employment by RMS of crossing supervisors is all about child safety.
"We shouldn't let that goal be caught up in red tape or excessively rigid interpretation of the criteria.
"In the case of rapidly growing suburbs like The Ponds and Schofields we know that student numbers are not only growing year by year but month by month and even week by week.
"An assessment undertaken 5 or 6 months ago is no longer a valid measure of student numbers in these localities.
"I am urging the Minister for Roads to review the decision of the RMS not to appoint a crossing supervisor at Riverbank Public School, taking into account the extraordinary growth which is occurring.
"When the RMS decision was made on 19 July 2018 I immediately wrote to the Minister asking for her to review the matter.
"I have no doubt that student numbers at Riverbank will continue to grow for some time, so I'm asking for the decision to appoint supervisor to be made sooner rather than later.
"I believe that it is time to review the decade-old criteria to ensure that they are working to achieve the goal of keeping children safe," said Mr Conolly.

About Dr Watson
Expertise and all that......
Dr Watson replied to Dr Watson's topic in The Auction Scroll
A reasonable and true point but I think the irritation is with the emphazizing by this new company of its long history, exceptional expertise etc and using quotes from a period long before the present directors were any part of the firm. The analogy of the car industry is very apt but there we find open discussion about the merits of this company or that. When a great car company, indeed an institution like Rolls Royce is 'taken over/merged' there is much discussion in the professional press, Jeremy Clarkson will have his say (sorry Jeffrey, he is another British institution). If a great designer, engineer, leaves a company and is replaced by someone inferior (or better) then that is a matter of open discussion and it is not secret. So the Silver Ghost Rolls Royce was considered the best car in the world, many years later the same company produce a car reviewed as follows below: If this were a violin business being discussed would the 'thread be closed' or would people say do not write this, it might damage the business, surely it is constructive criticism? Certainly the cars they make today have improved. 37. Sbarro Rolls-Royce Camargue Year Introduced: 1980 Why It's Terrible: It took all the class, pomp, and circumstance out of the Rolls, and simply replaced it with disgusting excess and hideous door rails. Franco Sbarro, a Swiss coach builder, transformed this Rolls-Royce Camargue into a hunting car for an Arabian aristocrat. Its considered unholy by anyone with taste. Proof that money can't buy everything.
Dear stradbergonzi, why do you doubt what I am telling you? Here is the proof…. 16 years old! Why not be proud of being such a new company? Why hide who is signing certificates? Why keep Charles Beare's name on foreign websites when they are removed from the English version? A few of many questions that have still not been answered. J & A BEARE LIMITED 03487761 Registered Address: 30 Queen Anne Street, London, W1G 8HX Accounts Filed up to 2013 Type Private limited with Share Capital Age 16 years (Incorporation date 02/01/1998)
I do not completely agree that there is a definitive correlation between tone and price but I do agree that there is a correlation between what a violin is worth and the certification it bears. As has been stated before and confirming what stradbergonzi implies, an early Hill , a Rembert Wurlitzer, a Charles Beare paper are still the gold standard for expertise and there are other younger experts today who are also making their name. They are not valuablet because the certificate has an intrinsic worth but simply because all other violin experts i.e. their peer group, recognize these experts knew what they were talking about. Many other certificates are useless, misleading, even deceitful. The question is whether a Beare paper signed by another person whether from 1940 or 2014 is worth as much as one signed by Charles Beare, especially if one is not told who signed it, or who is doing the expertise (assuming it is 'out of house' as some people seemingly in the know have asserted) is surely a reasonable topic for debate? Incidentally a check at Companies House will confirm that the present company trading under the name J&A Beare is 16 years old. Started on 02/01/1998. This company is not over 120 years old.
Dr Watson posted a topic in The Auction Scroll
Thought that the wonderful 'Rumour has it....' was slowing down so here is a new one to hopefully provoke a similarly lively discussion. Themes being: Is it ok for a new auction house to be so disparaging about well established ones? Attic rummagers etc Is it ok to claim the best expertise based on a previous expert's reputation as a certificate writer? Are claims of violins being almost 'completely risk free investments' ludicrous? Is anyone impressed with a dealer who can recognise an instrument hanging up in their shop as a Guarneri copy (albeit with a hesitation)? Are comments about Chinese, Korean, Japanese etc musicians '..... excelling at the violin is a way of demonstrating that you've reached the West's level in cultural terms'...offensive and patronising? Jamie at Amati apologised for unrivalled, the Beares advertising uses the identical word. Still no word as to who signs certificates? Please help start a new thread, hopefully as good as the last one on this topic.

Mumbai | Kolkata: Vodafone Idea (Vi) has got an initial proposal for up to $2 billion (₹15,000 crore) line of credit from a consortium led by US investment firm Oak Hill Advisors, bankers and industry executives aware of the matter said.
Sixth Street, Twin Point Capital and Varde Partners are among other global investors in the consortium that has given a non-binding term sheet to Vi, they said. The proposed funding model will likely be a blend of bonds and warrants that will give the consortium members an option to convert part of the loan to shares of the company at a later stage, they said.
The loss-making telco owned by UK's Vodafone Group and India's AV Birla Group needs funds urgently to bolster its 4G network, arrest a steady loss of customers to rivals and pay arrears to the government.
Negotiations are on to finalise the terms, an executive with knowledge of the matter told ET. The consortium is likely to submit a binding term sheet only by the end of December, after both sides agree on the agreements, the people said.
Vi has separately also reached out to Canada's Brookfield to raise cash, they said.
Vodafone Group Plc, Sixth Street and Brookfield declined to comment, while Vi, AV Birla Group, Oak Hill, Twin Point and Varde did not respond to ET's queries till press time Sunday.

Vodafone Idea gets Rs 3,760 crore by selling 11.15% stake in Indus Towers after merger with Infratel
Funds may be released in tranches
Vi's ongoing efforts are in line with the telco's stated plan to raise up to ₹25,000 crore ($3.4 billion).
Last month, managing director Ravinder Takkar had said Vi's fundraising plans had elicited a strong response and was likely to conclude in two to three months. Mumbai-based InCred Capital and its US investment banking partner PJT Partners along with BNP Paribas are known to be helping Vi in its efforts to raise funds.
A non-binding term sheet is essentially a letter of intent from a clutch of investors keen to invest in Vi, but subject to fulfilment of conditions, a top industry executive said. Stitching up the potential $2 billion funding could take time, as "Vi's potential investors will do a detailed financial, business and legal due diligence in consultation with its current lenders and stakeholders" before releasing any money, he added.
Funds are likely to be disbursed in tranches linked to the company meeting stiff, periodic business targets on operating income, subscriber growth, average revenue per user (ARPU) and revenue market share fronts, the executive said.
Vi's ARPU at ₹119 at the end of the September quarter lags that of Bharti Airtel (₹162) and Reliance Jio (₹145). The telco has not matched the two rivals on 4G coverage, and its plunging customer base too is a concern for lenders and potential investors.

Facebook, Twitter and Big Tech Make Their Money in China
Daniel Greenfield October 21, 2020
Last year, Amazon was forced to shut down its marketplace business in the People's Republic of China. Amazon's defeat followed that of a long line of Big Tech players who had tried to make a go of it in China and failed miserably. China's economy is built to boost domestic businesses and foreign exports, with some needed imports, by companies linked to the Communist Party.
And no matter how politically correct Amazon may try to be, it can never join that club.
But Amazon's business in China isn't done. To a large degree, Amazon's business is China. Behind the smiling logo, the massive array of businesses covering everything from running the CIA's cloud to spending $500 million to make a Lord of the Rings streaming series, are a bunch of grim offices, apartments, and warehouses in Chinese cities that make up its real business.
Three years ago, third-party sellers topped Amazon's own sales. They now make up 58%. Who are they? If, like most Americans, you shop at the giant dot com retail monopoly, you've already waded through a stream of random shop names, fake misspelled reviews, and counterfeit products while searching for just about anything. What happened? China happened.
Between 40% to 48% of top third-party sellers on Amazon are operating out of China. The massive growth in Chinese third-party sellers has been fairly recent and transformative.
What Amazon Prime members are really buying is membership in a club that helps third-party sellers from China push counterfeit and imitation products to Americans. Amazon acts as a middle man, charging Chinese sellers and American customers for handling listing, shipping and sales..
The trade war between America and China began a year before Amazon shut down its local sales, but not its cross-border business. And that cross-border business is Amazon's lifeline.
In 2013, Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon, bought the Washington Post for $250 million. Bezos, at the time, lived in the other Washington. He wouldn't add a D.C. home to his collection until 2016, and didn't show it off until this year at a party attended by Bill Gates and Mitt Romney. Many wondered why Bezos had bought a D.C. government paper. Follow the money.
In 2014, the CIA announced a $600 million cloud contract with Amazon. Considering Amazon's dependency on China, granting it that kind of access was an absurdly terrible idea. And yet, Amazon then went on to win a $10 billion military cloud contract that it has since fortunately lost.
Amazon's federal contract revenues rose from $200 million in 2014 to $2 billion now. Much of that money flows to Amazon from that entity its boss' paper calls the intelligence community.
Few have noted the curious triangle between the money flowing from the intelligence community to Amazon, and the Washington Post's role in pushing supposed material from the intelligence community against President Trump, his trade war, and Amazon's China business.
This doesn't have to add up to some grand conspiracy, but the Washington Post's owner has a vital economic interest in ousting Trump, and the paper has been doing that by serving up material from a branch of the government that its owner's company does a lot business with.
Amazon is hardly alone among Big Tech companies in benefiting from Trump's defeat.
It's no coincidence that the Democrat nominee is a doddering hack best known for inappropriately touching women and building close relationships between certain American industries and the People's Republic of China. The biggest Big Tech companies are driven by outsized stock prices and a high cash burn rate that can only be fixed by massive growth.
And that growth is dependent on China and on American trade policies.
Facebook is officially banned in China, but, much like Amazon, its business comes through the Communist dictatorship.
China is Facebook's second largest revenue source after America with $5 billion a year in ad revenue. And the social media monopoly which controls 80% of the social media market in America, keeps pleading and begging to be allowed back into China.
Why are Chinese companies advertising on a service that Chinese users are blocked from accessing through the Great Firewall? Some, like TikTok, which built its business through Facebook, are trying to reach American customers and then build their own ad business.
China is racing to build its own machine for directly reaching American customers. And once it has that, it won't need Amazon, Facebook, or the rest of the tech traitors anymore. To paraphrase Lenin, the rope will have been sold and all that will be left are the hangings.
Like Amazon, Facebook is a one-way system for allowing Chinese businesses to take advantage of Americans. While US companies may not be allowed to do business in China, they're happy to help Chinese companies do business in America. Or, as Facebook put it, it's "committed to becoming the best marketing platform for Chinese companies going abroad".
But it's not just Chinese businesses using Facebook for ads: it's also China's regime.
Chinese state broadcasters like Xinhua spend a lot of money advertising their propaganda on Facebook. Some of that propaganda aimed at Americans explicitly attacked President Trump.
But China doesn't need to resort to the crude measures of Russia's Internet Research Agency.
Facebook, like most of Big Tech, understands that its future rests with China's Communist Party. Its growth potential and a sizable amount of its revenues are tied to better relations with China. And for that to happen, Hunter Biden's dad has to win and President Trump has to lose. And so the social media monopoly led the way in censoring a damaging story about Hunter Biden.
Like Facebook, Twitter is blocked in China. And, like its much bigger social media brother, Twitter makes a lot of the ad revenue for its shaky business model from China.
"Helping Chinese companies expand their visibility overseas has been one of the fastest-growing businesses for Twitter," a China Twitter executive claimed.
The so-called China Export Market has been driving Twitter's ad revenues.
And, also like Facebook, it's not just products that are being exported. During the Communist dictatorship's crackdown on Hong Kong, Xinhua ran ads on Twitter defending the repression.
This wasn't too surprising considering that Twitter's first China boss had worked for the People's Liberation Army and then on a joint venture with the Ministry of Public Security.
After Twitter was shamed into pulling the ads, the Communist dictatorship threatened to cut off its ad revenues. The message was clear. China was in control of Twitter's cash flow.
That's why Big Tech companies can be banned in China and still be at its mercy.
The Communist regime controls a huge portion of their revenues and their future. A Big Tech company with no pathway to expanding in China won't attract the investors to grow. That's how China can make or break any of the Big Tech businesses it keeps dangling on its little finger.
The real foreign election interference is coming from China. Big Tech companies are just doing the dirty work of the Communist dictatorship. China's Communist leaders don't even need to say anything. The message is clear. The only way forward for them is through Joe Biden.
That's why Big Tech is far more driven to defeat President Trump and elect Joe Biden and its election interference has become much more blatant than it was in the previous election.
It's not just about the politics, it's also about the money.
Big Tech companies are selling out our election to China the way they have our jobs. And their election interference is reaching unprecedented heights as they function like a cartel.
Twitter not only banned a story about Hunter Biden's China ties, it ruthlessly suspended, blocked, and shut down accounts belonging to government officials and journalists, even as it promoted a counter-story from the Washington Post: a paper owned by Amazon CEO Bezos.

Here's Raymond Leary playing a very lively Tay springer in the Alder's Pool this afternoon on his fly rod. These springers give a great account of themselves especially when they are hooked on the fly as you can see here in this short video clip. Next week should produce more of these superb springers and there are a few rods still available to let. To book a rod on the Newtyle Beat Click here.


Call the police, I just killed my run! Haha, yes, I know you're not laughing at my excellent joke. Oh well... Just got back from my long run of the week, which I think was about 25km (again, not very good at charging the Garmin it seems), and took in two different mountainous park areas with hundreds of steps. One of these is the BIG one at the end of town where I did lots of training for the Great Wall race, as I reckoned that some of the steep steps would be a good practice run for the Great Wall (oh how wrong I was haha), and Garmin (which was working at that point) reckoned it is about 400m up to the top. (I think there are about 660 ish steps? I'll count next time...) Anyway, I hadn't been here in quite a while, but it seemed a lot easier than the last time. Or maybe it is because I had already run for 10kms and ran some steps and hills so was more warmed up than usual? Whatever it was, it saw me being able to run further up the steps than ever before and then keep on hiking up the last extremely steep section without stopping for a break (last year I needed a couple of short breaks). So, yay for that.
Now, am off to shower and seek out a mammoth breakfast. Enjoy your Saturday people!
This morning's run was an 8km endurance pace run, that took about 35-36 minutes. So, all this training to get a faster result at the race on 1st December, and it seems I am not getting faster, or not by much anyhow. This was about 4.5km/min pace, so that means if I run at this pace for the whole race it will take me about 1 hour 34 minutes. Ok, ok, that IS still about 10 minutes faster than my previous (and best) time from last year, so actually I would be very happy with this result. BUT, what if I could go even faster? And get closer to 1:30, or dare I even put it out there, 1:25?? Stoked would be an understatement. So, I am thinking about running the first 11 ish kilometres at this morning's pace, and then stepping it up to about 4km/min for the remaining ten kms. Really hope I can do this on the day!
Maybe I should just forget about the timing aspect of it altogether and just focus on the fun and amazing atmosphere of the race through the streets of Shanghai. After all, I am doing it for my love of running (ok yes, AND for the medal, certificate and race t-shirt). So, it shouldn't matter what my time is (although a voice in my head says it does!).
I will try not to think about my expectations on the day. That way if I smash them, I will be THRILLED, and if I don't, then I will still be happy. As my excellent coach/husband reminded me yesterday: I didn't ever expect to win the Great Wall half marathon, I only wanted to finish the course within the time limit, but then an amazing thing happened and I somehow did (still don't know how). So, I will see what happens on the day, and leave it up to the running gods (or training gods?) to decide.

The Upper Eden Yomp Mountain Challenge was established by the Rotary Club of Upper Eden to commemorate the achievements of the British Forces engaged in the 1982 Falklands Campaign.
The three Yomp routes make up a major outdoor event with a welcome for both fell walkers and runners. All routes are over fell land, bog and tussock, flagged at 50 metre intervals.
The Full Yomp is a serious undertaking. It follows the Mallerstang watershed and includes six summits over 650 metres high. Fell runners will aspire to beat Karl Bell's 2017 course record time of 2 hours 36 minutes. Walkers should aim to complete the circuit in less than 9 hours.
23 miles, 3,900 ft ascent, minimum entry age is 18 in line with FRA rules.
The Half Yomp provides a less demanding course, but with some rough terrain and the full ascent of Nine Standards it is still more than equivalent to a half-marathon on the flat!
The Short Yomp covers the same ground as the final section of the two main courses, including the summit of Nine Standards. It provides a great challenge for children walking with their parents or teachers.
The Yomp is both a fell race and a community event open to all with appropriate fitness and experience. Local organisations and individuals support the event and landowners grant access permissions. Apart from aiming to run a great event, the Rotary Club of Upper Eden seeks to raise as much money for charity as possible. This year our nominated charity is The National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society.
Twenty different trophies are awarded to winners of various categories. All finishers will receive a printed certificate and a race medal. Latest finishing time to count for trophies is 4.00 pm.
Teams must be a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 4 nominated entrants. NOMINATED TEAMS MUST BE ENTERED BEFORE THE RACE! The aggregate time of the team's first three runners to finish will be the team's time. When booking please clearly indicate the name of your team e.g. Howgill Harriers A Team, Howgill Harriers B Team, Quakers Running Club.
Registrations are between 7 am and 11 am depending upon the course - full details are provided upon booking.

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR GRADUATION. YOU MADE IT!
If you're like most graduates, you've got the basic skills to begin making a living, a lot of debt and very little cash. Still, there are things you need to buy. Insurance is just one of those things.
There are two things that you need to consider right away, Professional Liability (Malpractice) and Disability Insurance (personal income replacement). It doesn't have to cost you a fortune but you will need to invest a little time in understanding your options. That's where we can help.
First: Beware of anyone who only offers coverage from one company. They have an agenda and it's not yours.
Second: Don't buy professional liability from anyone who can't or won't explain the difference between claims made and occurrence coverage. If they tell you which one to buy...run.
We'd like to make it easier for you. We specialize in helping new graduates find the right coverage at the right price (that doesn't always mean the cheapest price). We work with most of the industry leading professional liability and disability insurance companies. We'll explain your options and help you to make an informed decision. We'll also be here in the future to review and refine those decisions as your practice and family grow.
If you need health, home, renters, auto, personal umbrella or life insurance, we can help you with that too.
We're the only agency of its kind here in the Southwest, a one-stop-shop dedicated to you and your practice, the only insurance agent you'll ever need.

Home Latest UNIJOS VC Rejects Nomination for Plateau Award
UNIJOS VC Rejects Nomination for Plateau Award
Seriki Adinoyi in Jos
Vice Chancellor of University of Jos (UNIJOS), Prof. Sebastian Maimako, has turned down nomination by an online publication, COA Media for the award of Plateau Man of the Year.
Maimako, in a statement by the university's Deputy Registrar, Media and Information, Mr. Abdullahi Abdullahi, the vice chancellor expressed his appreciation to the organisers of the awards for considering him worthy to be nominated alongside four other very notable and highly accomplished Plateau State indigenes who have distinguished themselves in their various fields of endeavours and working hard along with others to contribute their quota towards making Plateau great.
He said: "To have been so identified in the midst of countless Plateau indigenes who are daily excelling and making indelible marks in their chosen fields of endeavour is in itself a mark of great honour."
But turning down the nomination, Maimako, however, said he believed "this is not the opportune time to receive such an award as a serving public servant who believes there is still a lot more to be achieved and much more to be accomplished before he finally bows out at the end of his tenure."
He added that "as professionals, we all have different requirements for discharging our mandates and participating in such a programme may not be helpful at this time."
Maimako said if the award organisers had intimated him of their decision before hand, he would have gladly informed them of this conviction and would have saved them the trouble of including his name among those being nominated.
"Professor Maimako would therefore wish to humbly decline his nomination and urges COA Media to proceed without him on their list of those penciled down for consideration for the award," the statement added.
While noting that his decision was in no way meant to discountenance the importance or prestige attached to such recognition, the vice chancellor said he believed that with the array of eminent personalities nominated for the award, the programme was bound to be a success and wished the organisers greater success in their future endeavours.
He also expressed profound appreciation to all those who had expressed interest in his nomination by voting for him and sued for their understanding.

A Demographer, A German Town Planner And A Parks Commissioner All Walk Into A Bar…
The Urban Developer 27th May 2016 – by Chris Isles, Australian Planner of the Year 2015 and International Executive Director for Planning. A Demographer, a German Town Planner and a Parks Commissioner all walk into an Australian bar and each of them remark about the 'Missing Middle' and need for greater housing choice within our communities. I wish this was the start to one of those typical 'three people walk into a bar' jokes, but no, it happened last week, when Place Design Group hosted a pop-up food truck and craft beer rodeo in a recently renewed, inner city warehouse, as part of the PIA National Planning Congress, here in my hometown of Brisbane. Now these three people, far from being random strangers or even planners were in fact key note speakers from the congress. Each of them then went on to deliver their addresses and each reaffirmed their bar room discussions regarding a major looming issue both here in Australian and globally. Despite their backgrounds, topical persuasions and kilometres travelled, all three shared the view that that we simply can't keep building cities the way we have in the past. And, that we truly do have a 'missing middle' in terms of infill housing densities and housing forms. They agreed that our best opportunities for change will be in our inner and middle city precincts, where we already have significant investment in infrastructure and services that could be better leveraged, rather than continuing to build new development on the fringes. There Is A Gaping Hole In The Australian Housing Market. And this makes sense. When you have three, preeminent people from around the world, all remarking about the importance of this and the gaping hole in the Australian housing cross section, then I think we should all sit up and pay attention. Merge these conversations with other recent developments in the Australian cities space and we have a confounding few years ahead of us. We have our Prime Minister and his Federal Cities Agenda (which by the way is tremendous to have the Feds back thinking about Cities). There is talk about '30 Minute Cities'; the launch of the South East Queensland Regional Plan Conversation series to inform a review of the SEQ Regional Plan; and the massive impending task of the Greater Sydney Commission to prepare a plan for Greater Sydney over the next nine months – and we may have a dilemma. We have a federal government, and many of our State Planning strategies pushing us for infill and redevelopment of the inner and middle rings (and international experts telling us this is the right strategy), yet these are, and will continue to be the most contested spaces in the fight between NIMBYs and progress. The places in cities where we genuinely have the best chance of to physically deliver this 'missing middle' density, are also those areas which will be the toughest politically and community perception wise. We Can't Just Accept The Easy Path Anymore. Although it is typically much easier to develop on the edges, being that the only people it displaces are typically a few farmers who benefit from the land sale anyway, it is important to recognise that we can't just accept the easy path anymore. A quote that resonated with me during the congress, came from the Commissioner of the New York City Parks Department, Mitchell Silver. Mitchell said that "Smart Cities know a sense of urgency 10 years before it's urgent." So, can we get away with continuing our current approach of super low density on the edge and super density in the middle for another decade? Probably. But, I would argue using Mitch's logic that if we want to get ahead of the pack, then now is the time for us to get busy and have a greater sense of urgency in finding and prosecuting a new alternative, and infill housing program within Australian cities. So what is stopping this from happening? I would argue, and recent engagement has shown that it isn't a fundamental opposition to growth, just an opposition to bad growth. Even worse, I would argue that planners and Councils are not great at communicating and explaining what this infill and redevelopment might look like. As a result, people assume the worst (and perhaps rightly so) setting the tone for apprehension and fear of redevelopment, without anyone really enunciating the positives and opportunities that this redevelopment can bring for precincts. Better Communication And Engagement Is The Answer. To me, this is first and foremost a communication and engagement problem – and a solution. So why are we so bad at communicating visions, or potential for precincts and our cities? Personally, I think it comes from being both too reliant upon old consultation tools and techniques that haven't kept pace with the rest of the technological and communication expectations of the world. Everything is so 'in the now' that flat 2D plans don't really do us any favours, nor does picking five or six typical images of what it might look like, because people will assume it will look exactly like that. And when a development fails to meet those images then the community is disappointed. So whilst local governments are generally perceived as being effective at proactive consultation during planning scheme drafting, when it comes to the post-consultation follow up, their approach is generically viewed as quite poor with communication on the outcomes lacking. This is probably budget related, and once a plan is done we move onto the next project or task. But, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) census shows that significant numbers of people move residence each intra-census period, with more than 40% of people nationally having moved at least once in the last five years. When you combine these ABS facts with these communication perceptions, it highlights the challenge of high population mobility and a gaping hole in the communication of development expectations. It assumes that the community does their own research when buying or renting, which shows that information could be either too hard to find, to understand, or that planning issues are not top of mind when making the decision to take up new residencies. At a simple level, perhaps local governments should consider a greater need to go back out to the public, and better communicate with them advising of their garnered learnings and understandings. Perhaps this is just a resourcing issue, as we know that when resources are poor, there can be little time available to come back to the community – However this too is why we need to find more cost effective and efficient methods to advise the public, in a way which works better for all than it currently does. Let's Simplify Communication In Planning Practice. Examples of these types of improved resourcing and efficiencies could include technological solutions such as apps, and of course, big data, etc – all topics close to my own personal agenda and mission to improve and simplify communication in planning practice. The whole point of the planning process is that it is an agreed vision. And, providing that occurs, then there should be no need to go back to the community at that stage. The important point that needs to be mentioned here, is that development is a risky proposition at the best of times. And as functioning businesses, having those agreed development guidelines to work to is critical, as is the certainty that comes along with it. This in itself, is the dual benefit of having a planning scheme. To provide certainty for both sides of the development equation, not only for existing residents and property owners, but for developers or private individuals wanting to simply change or amend existing residences. How are we ever going to convince planners to plan and regulate for the missing middle housing, whilst equally convincing developers to have a crack at innovating and delivering this housing? Especially when this will be scrapped out of this contested zone of our cities, where residents don't want any change, but all the evidence is telling us that we have to change. Density Can Be Done Well Again. To me, perhaps the greatest irony of all is that the 'missing middle' was historically part of our cities when our cities were much younger and smaller. The Sydney and Melbourne inner city terraces are a great example of what we now call the 'missing middle', when in fact what is missing is this product in the last 20-30 years of our development, not the absolute lack of this built form in our cities. In Brisbane, the Spring Hill Cottage Queenslanders were the Queensland equivalent, which were 200sqm blocks of land. These historic structures were originally introduced as an act of Parliament in 1885 to stop this exact product from occurring, yet here we are, well over a century later trying to get it back into our city's vernacular. As so, the aforementioned, esteemed trio of the Demographer, a German Town Planner and a Parks Commissioner, certainly had some ideas on where there is a looming affordability and capacity problem, and some simple yet important stories of how density can be done well again. I think we have plenty of inspiration for the 'missing middle' and density done well on our own backyards. What this product could look like, – and more importantly the type of community that co-coexists within this housing model – should be a no-brainer. But what we need to work through is how we then convince those living in areas suitable for redevelopment, and recognise that this is actually a good thing.

Genachowski sat down with Gary Shapiro, head of the Consumer Electronics Association, for a discussion about issues affecting the CE industry.
LAS VEGAS – Federal Communications Chairman Julius Genachowski on Friday defended the agency's push for net neutrality, its recent request for an extension on delivering a national broadband plan to Congress, and the FCC's role as regulator.
At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) here, Genachowski sat down with Gary Shapiro, head of the Consumer Electronics Association, for a discussion about issues affecting the CE industry. Up first was net neutrality, a topic of concern for an industry that does not necessarily greet the prospect of government intervention with open arms.
Late last year, the FCC proposed formal net neutrality rules, which would require reasonable network management and ban ISPs from blocking particular content or apps. The industry, particularly the wireless industry, is concerned that the rules are too broad and could stifle innovation.
and preserve and accelerate the kind of economic activity that we've seen out of this platform for the last several decades."
The first round of public comments on the net neutrality rules are due January 14, with a second round of reply comments wrapping up March 5. After that, it's at the FCC's discretion when and if it takes any action on the issue.
Shapiro started with that question because Comcast and the FCC were at the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit today battling an appeal of a 2008 FCC enforcement action against Comcast—a case many view as a battle over net neutrality.
In 2008, the FCC handed down an enforcement action against Comcast for what it considered to be unreasonable network management. Comcast agreed to be more transparent about it policies, but appealed the decision on the grounds that the FCC's Internet Policy Principles—on which it based its Comcast decision—are just guidelines and not actual FCC rules and are therefore unenforceable.
The proposed net neutrality rules would make those principles official FCC rules.
Shapiro asked why the rules were necessary when people who might be unhappy with their Internet service can just switch to another provider. Genachowski said that competition was a "critical policy objective" at the FCC, but said the proposed rules—in particular, the transparency requirement—would essentially be a tool to keep the industry honest.
"I absolutely agree that sunshine can be a great disinfectant in this area; that empowering consumers with information can reduce [the chance of] the government getting involved," Genachowski said. "We're in various areas looking at ways we can help improve the quality of the information that consumers have."
natural economic forces that drive toward fewer competitors," he continued. There's "nothing evil about it, [but] it's what creates a need for government agencies to say we see some dangers here, we see some practices that are inconsistent with competition."
The chairman also defended his recent request to turn in a required national broadband plan to Congress a month late.
and I was very pleased to support that," Genachowski said.
The stimulus plan passed last year required the FCC to come up with a plan for providing all citizens with access to broadband and turn it over to Congress by February 17. The team handling broadband at the FCC "made the decision to run the process in the most difficult way possible by taking seriously the goals of openness, participation, and database decision making," Genachowski said.
After numerous public meetings and comments from stakeholders, "the process has been quite broad, [but] it's an appropriately broad process given the magnitude of the challenge that was given to us," he said.
The team needs time to craft something workable and sustainable, not "something we write and put in a drawer," Genachowski said.
Among the broadband issues the FCC is examining is Internet access on TVs, a major theme at this year's CES.
The absence of a computer is one of the bigger challenges to broadband adoption, but about 98 percent of people in this country have a TV so it makes sense to tie the two technologies together, Genachowski said.
There's been "much less innovation" in this area than something like the mobile space, but there is "clearly a tremendous desire" for this type of technology and a market that is "really open for innovation," he said.


Dreams are an essential part of the human experience. They're universal; as near as science can show (without literally reading people's minds) every person dreams when they sleep.
It's been a popular question for thousands of years—possibly since before the dawn of civilization. Some of our earliest recorded texts relate to the interpretation of dreams and visions; how what we see in our sleep might relate to the past, present, and what is yet to come.
Only recently, though, has scientific thought advanced to the point of in-depth analysis as to why we dream. It's no easy question: evidence and answers come from a variety of disciplines across the sciences and humanities, including philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and biology. It's become one of the most highly contested (and fascinating) debates in modern science.
There are those who believe that dreaming is simply a side-effect of bodily processes unable to slow down. To proponents of this theory, dreams are a consequence of other, more essential nervous functions, which inadvertently lead to hallucinations when sleeping. This would mean that dreams have no deep meaning or purpose—just a consequence of our large and complex brains.
Others, however, propose that dreaming is itself an essential function. Researchers of this opinion tend to argue that dreams, as much as sleep itself, serve a role in maintaining our physical and mental health. These claimants believe that we could no more live without dreaming than we could live without food, water, or air.
It should be noted, as well, that the study of dreaming is undertaken differently depending on the discipline of those conducting the research. Neuroscientists, for example, seek to understand the underlying physical causes of dreaming, and how the experience of a dream might impact the brain and body of their subjects. Psychoanalysts, meanwhile, will usually concern themselves with the psychological importance of dreaming—how they reflect our conceptions of self, or how they help us to learn and adjust.
There are several different interpretations of the different phases of sleep. What is universally understood, however, is that sleep can be divided into REM (Rapid Eye Movement) and Non-REM sleep. Chances are, REM is the one you've heard about. The REM cycles makes up about 25% of your night's sleep—it usually occurs around 90 minutes after you first fall asleep, and occurs several more times throughout the night as you pass through other sleep stages.
What we know without a doubt is that the REM stage is when dreaming occurs. During REM, signals are sent by the body's nervous system to your spine, causing a form of partial paralysis. Regions of the brain responsible for learning, emotion, and memory then experience a surge of activity. The exact process by which this causes us to experience vivid hallucinations while sleeping (which we call dreams) is still not known.
While scientists have yet to identify the exact cause of our dreams, there is a growing consensus that the purpose our dreams serve has much to do with the way we process memories.
REM sleep (when dreaming occurs) triggers the parts of our brain responsible for learning and memory recall. Studies have repeatedly shown that those who go for a period of time without REM sleep struggle to accurately store new information in a way that allows for later recall.
As teams of investigators develop this theory, some have actually proposed that fragments of a person's memories can be identified in the contents of a person's dreams.
In this vein, Professor Sue Llewellyn at the University of Manchester in England has proposed that the act of dreaming serves as a type of memory boosting exercise. According to Llewellyn, dreams enhance memory recall through methods similar to those used by ancient peoples, before writing was commonplace.
The oral traditions of many ancient civilizations relied on a series of memorization techniques to pass down information between generations. These include visualization, narration, personal embodiment, and the making of strange associations between seemingly unrelated concepts. Professor Llewellyn proposes that these same techniques are used naturally during REM sleep to promote accurate information storage in the brain.
Did Dreams Help Us Survive?
As it turns out, dreams might be a form of practice.
Fantastic scenarios that involve fighting, or being chased, are near-universal dream experiences. The explanation may lie in the amygdala—your brain's emotional response command center. When a person enters REM sleep, their amygdala fires on all cylinders—as though the brain is responding to a serious threat. It is this hyperactivity in the amygdala which could hold the secret to our nightmares.
Now, that hyperactivity could simply be random. A quirk of human evolution, maybe. Like the appendix. But some experts speculate that dreams, specifically nightmares, serve a far more dramatic purpose.
In the early days of our evolution, threats to human life were far more abundant. Predators, specifically, posed a legitimate risk to most human populations. These were the days when a bear attack, or encounter with rival tribes, were common. The ability to process these risk was incredibly important. Responding to a threat with a cool, calm, collected head might be the difference between life-and-death.
Dreams (more specifically, nightmares) could serve for those situations. A person who dreamed more often, and more vividly, may be better equipped to deal with genuine terror. In this theory, nightmares serve the same person as a flight-simulator for a pilot. If a first-time pilot experiences a blown engine mid-flight, they might panic and lose control. Whereas a pilot who has trained thousands of times for that exact scenario, in the controlled environment of simulation, should react with a level-head.
The theory is unproven. For now, the implications remain fascinating.
It could be the most asked question in human history: do my dreams mean something? If so, what?
How many hundreds of thousands have lain in bed, just recently asleep, and wondered? It's an essential mystery of the human experience.
This line of thought has since come to dominate the cultural interpretation of dreams (at least in the Western world). In one study conducted on college students in the US, India, and South Korea, researchers found that almost no participants believed their dreams were merely random. Instead, many shared a Freudian-esque notion that what they experienced in dreams reflected their innermost thoughts and desires.
Chances are you've heard some pretty marvelous things about lucid dreams. A quick online search turns up any number of fantastic claims. Some say they've built a long-term "mind palace" they're able to visit and revisit every night, while sleeping, in their dreams. Some say lucid dreaming has changed their lives.
Is it a real phenomenon?
Often, though, when a person discusses lucid dreaming, what they're referring to is the ability to influence the environment and outcome of the dream itself.
Our knowledge of the human brain is still very much a work in progress. Scientific understandings of consciousness, psychology, and neuroscience are in flux, as new discoveries and theories are released almost every day.
What this means for the study of dreaming is as of yet unclear.
Why do people dream? The question will undoubtedly continue to fascinate some of humanity's greatest minds. Billions will wonder. Scientists will study. Researchers will collaborate. Doctors and psychologists and thousands of others will wait with bated breath.
For now, it would seem current research suggests that our dreams play a role in memory, in self-identity, and in the processing of our daily experiences. It's a critical aspect of our sleep. Why exactly that is, and how exactly it occurs, will continue to be one of the most interesting questions in modern medicine.

Q: Two stylesheets, one hover effect I'm working on my wordpress website, I recently got this new theme called Visia. After a search for days I finally found out where the hover effects for the circle around the social buttons was located. But there's only one problem: the icons have their own CSS file. And I want both circle (border-color) and icon (color, they have an icon font) to change color on just one hover.
Now I got this changed in the icons.css
.icon-linkedin:hover {
    border-color:#06C;
    opacity::1;
    color:#06C;
}

the other one has no hover yet, because I tried to refer to that class (style.css) to icons.css
.social-links a:hover {
    ???
}

The borders should change color the same color as the icons (because there are different social links, there are different colors)
If anyone could help, would be great...
Thanks in advance!

A: Simply overwrite it like so:
.icon-linkedin:hover {
    border-color:007bb6;
    color:007bb6;
}

And add !important if needed:
.icon-linkedin:hover {
    border-color:007bb6 !important;
    color:007bb6 !important;
}

A: I've fixed it by removing the border from some other class (the one who actually gave the border) and added it to an icon class that was already there. I also added a hover to that class which made it possible to change both color and border-color.


While 2016 brought some relief to the Western drought, many areas are still experiencing historic water shortages, with no reprieve in sight. From the Colorado River to Lake Mead, water supplies are shrinking while demand increases, thus driving water users to look elsewhere for their water, in many cases underground.
The 2015 Irrigation Association Show is only days away, and we hope you'll come and see us there!
