Public Pressure Could Halt US Support of Yemen War

US tax dollars are supporting Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen, which has already claimed the lives of some 85,000 children, and 12 million more people are likely on the brink of starvation. As Nicholas Kristof wrote in The New York Times, "the starvation does not seem to be an accidental byproduct of war, but rather a weapon in it."
The United States has long been a staunch ally of Saudi Arabia, and both the Obama and Trump administrations have provided considerable military support to the Saudi war in Yemen.
But Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's involvement in the torture and murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi has finally spurred both Democrats and Republicans to take steps to end US military involvement in Yemen.
On November 28, the Senate voted 63-to-37 to advance a resolution that would direct the removal of US Armed Forces from hostilities in Yemen. However, S. J. Res. 54 carves out an exception for continued US-supported military measures against "al Qaeda or associated forces" that could be twisted to rationalize nearly any military assistance Donald Trump provides to Saudi Arabia in Yemen.
S. J. Res. 54 Purports to End US Military Involvement in Yemen
Senators plan to debate S. J. Res. 54 this week. The bipartisan resolution, introduced by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) with 18 co-sponsors, invokes the War Powers Resolution. Enacted by Congress in the wake of the Vietnam War, the War Powers Resolution permits the president to introduce US Armed Forces into hostilities or imminent hostilities only after Congress has declared war, or in "a national emergency created by attack upon the United States, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces," or when there is "specific statutory authorization."
The War Powers Resolution defines the introduction of US Armed Forces to include:
… the assignment of members of such armed forces to command, coordinate, participate in the movement of, or accompany the regular or irregular military forces of any foreign country or government when such military forces are engaged, or there exists an imminent threat that such forces will become engaged, in hostilities.
S. J. Res. 54 states,
"activities that the United States is conducting in support of the Saudi-led coalition, including aerial refueling and targeting assistance, fall within this definition."
Trump Denies US Forces Are Engaged in "Hostilities"
Donald Trump has pledged to veto the resolution, denying that US forces are involved in "hostilities" for purposes of the War Powers Resolution. On November 28, the Trump administration issued the following Statement of Administrative Policy:
The fundamental premise of S.J. Res. 54 is flawed — United States forces are not engaged in hostilities between the Saudi-led coalition and Houthi forces in Yemen. Since 2015, the United States has provided limited support to member countries of the Emirati and Saudi-led coalition, including intelligence sharing, logistics, and, until recently, aerial refueling…. No United States forces have been introduced into hostilities, or into situations where hostilities are clearly imminent, in connection with ongoing support to the Saudi-led coalition. As a result, this United States support does not implicate the War Powers Resolution.
After stating that US Armed Forces "assist in aerial targeting and help to coordinate military and intelligence activities," S. J. Res. 54 cites Defense Secretary James Mattis's December 2017 statement:
"We have gone in to be very – to be helpful where we can in identifying how you do target analysis and how you make certain you hit the right thing."
US targeting assistance enables the coalition to kill Yemenis more efficiently.
Nevertheless, tens of thousands of Yemeni civilians have been killed in bombings by the Saudi-led coalition, many using some of the billions of dollars' worth of US-manufactured weapons. And late last year, a team of US Green Berets secretly arrived at the border between Yemen and Saudi Arabia to help in the war.
Loophole in S. J. Res. 54 Actually Authorizes US Military Involvement in Yemen
In S. J. Res. 54, Congress "directs the President to remove United States Armed Forces from hostilities" in Yemen "except United States Armed forces engaged in operations directed at al Qaeda or associated forces."
The only US combat troops on the ground in Yemen are allegedly targeting Al Qaeda forces. But, according to the ACLU, "military officials have already claimed they do not know the mission of each Saudi aircraft refueled by the US."
National Security Adviser John Bolton has a history of skewing intelligence to support his goals.
Moreover, this resolution will not stop US drone strikes in Yemen. Although those strikes were ostensibly aimed at al Qaeda, one-third of Yemenis killed by US drone bombings were civilians, including several children, according to a recent report by the Associated Press.
Thus, under the guise of removing US forces from hostilities in Yemen, S. J. Res. 54 could actually provide congressional justification for continued military involvement under the War Powers Resolution.
S. 3652 Would Suspend US Arms Transfers to Saudi Arabia
Another bipartisan bill pending in the Senate is the "Saudi Arabia Accountability and Yemen Act of 2018." Introduced by Bob Menendez (D-New Jersey) and five co-sponsors, including Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), S. 3652 would suspend US arms transfers to Saudi Arabia; prohibit US refueling of Saudi coalition aircraft; impose sanctions on anyone hindering the provision of humanitarian assistance, or those involved in the death of Khashoggi, including "any official of the government of Saudi Arabia or member of the royal family"; mandate briefings on US military support to the Saudi-led coalition, including civilian casualties; and require an unclassified written report on the Saudis' human rights record.
This resolution would prohibit the United States from selling the Saudis arms that could be used for offensive (but not defensive) purposes, including bombs, missiles, aircraft, munitions, tanks and armored vehicles.
The suspension of arms transfers to the Saudis, however, contains a provision allowing a presidential waiver for "national security interests" provided the secretaries of state and defense certify that for the preceding 180 days, the Saudi-led coalition has ceased all air strikes and offensive ground operations "not associated with al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula or ISIS." Again, this would create a significant loophole.
But if S. 3652 gains traction, it would go a long way toward ending US military assistance to Saudi Arabia in Yemen, providing accountability for Saudi atrocities and exerting international pressure on the Saudis to end their brutal killing in Yemen.
S. Res. 714 Seeks Crown Prince's Accountability for Khashoggi Murder
Sen. Graham spearheaded a bipartisan non-binding resolution that expresses "a high level of confidence" that bin Salman was "complicit" in the death of Khashoggi, whom it identifies as an "outspoken critic of Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman." The resolution calls for bin Salman to be held accountable for his contribution to the humanitarian crisis in Yemen.
S. Res. 714, co-sponsored by Dianne Feinstein (D-California), Marco Rubio (R-Florida), Ed Markey (D-Massachusetts), Todd Young (R-Indiana) and Chris Coons (D-Delaware), would express "the sense of the Senate" that the Saudi crown prince:
be held accountable for contributing to the humanitarian crisis in Yemen, preventing a resolution to the blockade of Qatar, the jailing and torture of dissidents and activists inside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the use of force to intimidate rivals, and the abhorrent and unjustified murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
H. Con. Res. 138 Suffers From Similar Flaws as S. J. Res. 54
Meanwhile, H. Con. Res. 138, which directs the president to remove US Armed Forces from hostilities in Yemen, is pending in the House of Representatives. But procedural maneuvers by Republican Congress members have prevented its consideration during this congressional term. It will likely be reintroduced in some form when the Democrats assume control of the House in January.
H. Con. Res. 138 suffers from similar infirmities as its Senate counterpart, S. J. Res. 54. But instead of carving out an exception for al Qaeda and associated forces, H. Con. Res. 138 exempts "United States Armed Forces engaged in operations authorized under the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force [AUMF]" from the mandate of the resolution. Unlike S. J. Res. 54, the House resolution fails to define "hostilities" under the War Powers Resolution.
Although Congress, in the 2001 AUMF, authorized the president to use "all necessary and appropriate force" only against individuals and groups responsible for the September 11, 2001, attacks, three presidents have relied on it to justify at least 37 military operations in 14 countries, many of them unrelated to 9/11.
In a letter to congressional representatives urging opposition to H. Con. Res. 138, the ACLU noted that the exception in the resolution for the 2001 AUMF "raises serious concerns that the Executive Branch will claim that the Congress is implicitly recognizing and authorizing the United States' use of force in Yemen under the AUMF."
The ACLU letter also states, "H. Con. Res. 138 could create a harmful precedent that causes the Executive Branch to claim Congress must pass a resolution of disapproval in order for the War Powers Resolution to be effective in stopping hostilities."
Toward Ending US Support to Saudis in Yemen
Notwithstanding deeply entrenched US support for Saudi Arabia, outrage over the Saudis' torturous murder of Khashoggi, as well as campaigns by several progressive groups, have galvanized congressional opposition to US assistance for Saudi killing in Yemen.
In March, a bipartisan Senate bill that would have halted US support to the Saudis in Yemen was defeated 55-44. At the time, Sen. Sanders, who co-sponsored the legislation, stated, "Some will argue on the floor today that we're really not engaged in hostilities, we're not exchanging fire. Please tell that to the people of Yemen, whose homes and lives are being destroyed by weapons marked 'Made in the U.S.A.,' dropped by planes being refueled by the U.S. military on targets chosen with US assistance."
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights determined that between March 26, 2015, and August 9, 2018, there were a total of 17,062 civilian casualties in Yemen — 6,592 dead and 10,470 injured. The majority of them — 10,471 — resulted from airstrikes carried out by the Saudi-led Coalition.
"There is a U.S. imprint on every single civilian death inside Yemen," Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Connecticut) recently declared, "because though the bombs that are being dropped may come out of planes that are piloted by Saudis or [United Arab Emirates forces], they are U.S.-made bombs…. It's unconscionable."
Congress now has an unprecedented opportunity to pass a resolution that could substantially reduce the widespread killing and humanitarian disaster in Yemen. This would be the first time since its enactment in 1973 that the War Powers Resolution is used to end a US military operation.
The Senate could act this week, but the House will not take up the matter before next year, and Trump has threatened to veto a resolution. There will invariably be amendments to any concurrent resolution in both the House and the Senate. Although the resolutions, as currently drafted, contain loopholes that could authorize US assistance to Saudi military actions against al Qaeda, and contain a clause for presidential waiver, public pressure on members of Congress to close those loopholes may well prove effective. And if sufficient pressure is applied, a resolution could garner enough congressional support to override a presidential veto.

Following the pilot that premiered on Amazon Video last year, Ben Edlund's superhero satire The Tick returns to live-action with its first season debuting on Aug. 25. But before that, the show made a stop at Comic-Con International in San Diego, for a panel on late Friday afternoon.
In attendance: franchise creator and executive producer Ben Edlund; cast members Peter Serafinowicz (The Tick), Griffin Newman (Arthur), Jackie Earle Haley (The Terror), Valorie Curry (Dot), Yara Martinez (Miss Lint), Brendan Hines (Superian), Scott Speiser (Overkill) and Michael Cerveris (Ramses); and executive producers Barry Josephson and David Fury.
Panel moderator and radio personality Ralph Garman started things with the announcement that the session will start with the first-ever screening of the show's second episode -- we'll check back once that wraps!
Episode over! We won't spoil much, but it's centered on Arthur (Griffin Newman) continuing to struggle with embracing his destiny -- as The Tick sees it -- as a superhero (or superhero sidekick).
Garman remarked to Edlund that given the inundation of superhero-related material, The Tick seems more timely than ever. "I think that's true," Edlund said. "I think this is the time when the highest number of people will get the jokes; we're all eating out of a huge bowl of cereal of the superhero mythos."
Arthur is much more the emotional center of this story than in previous Tick stories, Garman noted. "We really needed to find our psychological origin point for [Arthur]," Edlund said. "Because in other versions he was kind of a cypher."
Newman said it's a "pretty short walk" between him and Arthur, so he was grateful that the franchise has been rebooted. Serafinowicz "vulnerability is this loneliness."
Serafinowicz described the Tick as a "superpowered toddler." "That really I found quite emotional and sentimental, without being mawkish," Serafinowicz continued. "The show's got quite a lot of sentimentality, but not in a syrupy way -- just in the normal, regular flavor of sentimentality."
Newman said the show was like "an arranged marriage," since they had not met each other before they were cast.
First question from the audience, from a fan in American Maid cosplay: "Will old-school characters appear on the show?" (Beyond the ones already mentioned.) "Yes," Edlund said. "I think over time, we'll get to see some of the characters who have appeared before. Each thing that we translate to another version into this gets its own treatment."
"The characters from the cartoon are still in a difficult space, because they're owned by a separate entity," Edlund noted. "But if we ever figure that out, we'd like to get back to our roots."
Garman asked Hines about the Superman-archetype superhero he's playing, Superian. "He's been saving humanity for about a hundred years, basically out of pure benevolence, and the kindness of his... let's say heart," Hines said, noting that his character saves people, but he doesn't necessarily want to interact with them. "I thought that aloofness and that seeming arrogance could actually be loneliness and isolation."
"I think loneliness is a big quotient on the show," Edlund said. "So funny, loneliness!"
Curry on Dot: "She is a very complex beast, and part of why I was so excited to play Dot is, this is the most fleshed-out version of her that's existed. While she's the voice of reason, per se, it's not coming from a cynical or judgmental place you get from a lot of 'straight' characters."
Next fan up at the microphone asked about the producer credit for Patrick Warburton, the star of the 2001 Tick live-action series. "He was part of the nucleus that brought it into Amazon's arms, and has been a kind of godparent for all of this," Edlund answered. "He was such a big fan of the last iteration of the show, that he just wanted to see Ben be successful and able to do it again," Josephson added.
How big of a role will the non-Tick characters have? "The Terror's going to be a big part of the first season," Edlund said. "We have new characters that we're going to introduce like Overkill and Miss Lint. I think the more classic characters are things we're looking to translate if we move forward in the future." Fury pointed out that The City, in this version of the franchise, hasn't had a superhero for 15 years. "Next season, a lot more superheroes will be gravitating towards The City," Fury said.
Cerveris discussed his role of Ramses. "It's great fun to finally lose the constraints of a character I loved very much [September/The Observer from Fringe], and finally get to play myself, really," Cerveris said to laughs. "A maniacal villain. What's terrific is, because of the writing of the show, you can play it pretty straight and it comes out funny. We pretty much just play what's on the page, and it's a great acting challenge just to be able to do that."
Fury clarified that the first six episodes of The Tick will be available in August, and the next six will debut in early 2018.
Serafinowicz named the recently passed Adam West's Batman was a major inspiration for his performance as The Tick. "A big part of what I love about this show is, particularly The Tick's character is the embodiment of the pure essence of what it is to be a superhero," Serafinowicz said. "People don't do it anymore. He has simple values. He wants to save people, he wants to eradicate evil. Anything beyond that, he kind of is confused with. I love that about him."
Garman asked if Serafinowicz, an English actor, ever struggles with performing an American accent. "It is a little bit of a challenge sometimes," Serafinowicz said, adding that he and Edlund were on the same page for the vocal take on The Tick -- one reminiscent of a 1960s American radio announcers.
A fan asked how this take on The Tick differs from the previous live-action show. "We're taking our story very seriously, while at the same time having a lot of fun with the fabric of superhero fiction," Edlund said. "Taking The Tick seriously was the funniest thing I could think to do, because that's extra-absurd." Josephson stressed that this is specifically Ben's version of The Tick.

Dams and Landslides
War dams
By Lisa Peryman on August 18, 2014 • ( 2 Comments )
Bombed, breached, hacked … dams have a long history as weapons of war, seized on or attacked for their capacity to wreak massive havoc and suffering.
Dams as weapons of warfare have emerged once again as a potential threat in the struggle for Iraq as control of water resources remains a key priority for all sides.
According to news from the region, Islamic State (IS) militants have gained control of dams on the upper reaches of Iraq's two main water supply rivers, the Tigris and Euphrates. On August 7, IS succeeded in capturing Iraq's largest dam, the Mosul, on the River Tigris, from the control of the Peshmerga forces of Kurdistan. Although, new reports say Peshmerga forces retook the eastern part of the dam early Sunday, backed by U.S. and Iraqi air strikes, and that fighting for advantage remains ongoing. Some reports estimate 80 percent of the dam has been taken back by the Peshmergas.*
It is feared that, under IS control, the Mosul could be used as an instrument of war – flooding farmland and disrupting drinking water supplies – as happened earlier this year when IS took over the smaller Fallujah dam in western Iraq's Anbar province. [See also – Iraq crisis: How Islamic State could exploit the Mosul Dam]. Command of the Mosul not only gives the IS control over water flow into Baghdad and to the agrarian areas south of Baghdad, it also permits IS the option of imposing a famine on the rest of Iraq, if it chooses.
To make matters worse, the Mosul, "is essentially a ticking time bomb," Azzam Alwash, an Iraqi hydraulic engineer, told the Wall Street Journal on August 11. Built on a soluble gypsum base, the dam has required constant grouting since its completion in the 1980s – a highly skilled process involving injections of grout concrete into the dam's base around six times a week to prevent water seepage and dam failure. If not attended to, the bedrock beneath the Mosul could dissolve, triggering collapse and catastrophic flooding, possibly resulting in a worst-case scenario flood wave of 20 metres (65.5ft) deep at the city of Mosul with a population of 1.5 million people; an event that would also flood Baghdad.
"I can't speak to the skill of the insurgents, but I'd imagine that they might have some trouble with this," Richard Coffman, an assistant professor of civil engineering at the University of Arkansas, who has conducted research on the Mosul Dam, told Business Insider.
The US Army Corps of Engineers, which advised the Iraqi government on the structure, called it "the most dangerous dam in the world."
Taking control of water and power supply is a core military tactic of battles throughout history in order to gain a powerful war advantage. In the case of dams, cash can be amassed from the takeover of hydroelectric facilities in return for continued water and power supply, or shut off to ensure deprivation and hardship. Dams throughout time have also been attacked or commandeered to flood enemy territory, civilian populations and farmland; resulting in loss of life, shelter, food and safe drinking water. The largest act of environmental warfare in history occurred in June 1938 when the Chinese Nationalist army breached the country's Yellow River dikes in an attempt to prevent Japanese invaders from attacking the city of Zhengzhou and endangering the headquarters of the Nationalist government in neighbouring Wuhan. The strike flooded three thousand square kilometers of farmland across several provinces and killed an estimated 80,000 people who either drowned or perished in the aftermath, but did not stop the Japanese army from taking over Wuhan on October 25, 1938. [For a historic overview of dams as weapons of war, see: Dam Warfare].
* Update to this story: As of Tuesday, August 19, 2014, Iraqi and Kurdish ground forces, backed by U.S. air strikes, recaptured the Mosul; a struggle made more difficult by booby traps Islamic State militants had lain, rigging part of the area with a complicated network of landmines and remotely triggered bombs.

There has been a lot of controversy on twitter about Taylor Swift's new music video. Many people are upset at the portrayal of 1950's colonial Africa. They are disturbed at the fact that even though it is a video about Africa, there seems to be a lack of people of color.
Kahn also stated that the intent of the video was to strive towards historical accuracy, and that is the reason why the number of black actors in the video was low. Read more here.


Do We Need to Bid Farewell to Alcohol?
"Wine is good for us". "Alcohol is bad for us". I don't know about you, but I get confused. Which is it? And do we really have to bid farewell to a little vino at dinner, or bubbly on special occasions?
Truth be told, I'm not a big drinker. Never have been. I'll have an occasional drink socially, but for me, hangovers triggered by such little alcohol was never worth it. That said, I do enjoy a drink socially. So, I'm curious to know how alcohol affects the body, and specifically, endometriosis.
Alcohol raises estrogen levels. Naturally, estrogen thickens the lining of the uterus during the menstrual cycle. So, raising your estrogen levels is not especially desirable for women at risk for or living with endometriosis.
Alcohol can also disrupt your gut health, which is the foundation of your body's overall health. It can not only throw off the balance of your microbiome (the necessary bacteria living in your gut), but it can also weaken the lining of the intestinal wall. This is a far greater deal that we often acknowledge – especially when living with an autoimmune disease (according to some sources endometriosis is considered an autoimmune, but not widely recognized as such).
When the lining of the small intestines is compromised, you may experience intestinal impermeability or "leaky gut". This basically means that undigested food particles are escaping the digestive tract, and can create inflammation and trigger an autoimmune response.
Insulin resistance means that while you may have normal blood sugar levels, your pancreas has to produce more insulin than normal to "talk" to the cells. This is problematic because this process creates inflammation, and our overall goal is to reduce inflammation in the body.
What's a thirsty girl to do?
Maybe you start with the classic move of alternating an alcoholic beverage with a glass of water, or enjoying a less concentrated drink such as a wine spritzer.
Avoid sugary drinks – margaritas, mixed drinks, etc.
As always, pay attention to the results. Perhaps you experiment with going alcohol free for 30 days. Start to notice how you feel during that time, and if it changes your next period in any way.
Of course, diet and lifestyle changes take time to feel the full benefits of, but it's always helpful to increase your body awareness and gain first-hand insight on your individual body.
Have you noticed alcohol affecting your body or specifically endometriosis? Please share, we want to know!

Aswān
Aswān, also spelled Assuan or Assouan, Greek Syene, city, capital of Aswān muḥāfaẓah (governorate), Egypt, on the east bank of the Nile River just below the First Cataract. It faces the island of Elephantine (modern Jazīrat Aswān), on which stand the ruins of the ancient city of Yeb. Aswān was the southern frontier of pharaonic Egypt. Its local quarries supplied granite for many ancient Egyptian monuments and are still operated. On the Nile's eastern bank was the site of the ancient city of Swen (ancient Egyptian: "the Mart"), whence came the Greek Syene and the Arabic Aswān. Aswān later served as a frontier garrison post for the Romans, the Turks, and the British.

Modern Aswān is an administrative centre, winter resort, and commercial centre, receiving trade from Sudan. It is also an industrial centre, with a copper- and steel-producing complex, a chemicals plant producing fertilizer, a cement plant, a sugar refinery, and quarries producing granite and marble. The old Aswān Dam (completed in 1902) rises about 3 miles (5 km) south of the city; the Aswan High Dam (completed in 1970) is about 7 miles (11 km) south of the city. The Higher Industrial Institute is located in Aswān. A school for fisheries training opened in 1980. On Elephantine a museum contains antiquities from the governorate. There are many hotels in the city, which is the southern terminus of the Cairo-Aswān railway. There is also an international airport. Pop. (2006) 266,013.

Pleasant Hill BART Station
1365 Treat Blvd, Walnut Creek, CA 94597, United States
Pleasant Hill / Contra Costa Center is a Bay Area Rapid Transit station serving the Contra Costa Center Transit Village in Contra Costa Centre, California, just north of Walnut Creek and just east of Pleasant Hill.
The Pleasant Hill station service began on May 21, 1973. The second parking garage opened at the station on 30 June 2008. The former surface parking lot has been converted into the Contra Costa Transit Village. On 23 September 2010, the BART Board voted to change the name of the station to Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre. The name change was supported by the developer of the transit village and the Contra Costa County Redevelopment Agency, but opposed by the town of Pleasant Hill. The Contra Costa County Redevelopment Agency and the developer paid $413,800 for changing station signage and system maps.
An improved access route to the station better connected to the Iron Horse Regional Trail was proposed before the Walnut Creek City Council on 15 July 2008.The proposal was supported by BART and the local cycling organization. The bridge over the Treat Boulevard on the Iron Horse Regional Trail was completed on 2 October 2010. The bridge cost $12 million.
Pleasant Hill/Contra Costa Centre is a transfer point for a number of County Connection local routes: Weekday: 7, 9, 11, 14, 15, 18 , Weekend: 311, 316, Special school route: 619, and Early Bird Express: 712, 715. The station is also served by several longer-distance routes: two Solano Express routes - FAST Blue Line and SolTrans Yellow Line - plus WHEELS route 70X and AC Transit Early Bird Express route 702. All buses stop on a two-way busway on the southwest side of the station.
The Pleasant Hill / Contra Costa Center Station garage was built with the funds of the Federal Highway as a ride-around facility. Consequently, drivers who use a carpool or other public transit system may park in the garage for as long as they pay a parking fee on a parking payment / validation machine located in a non-paid area outside the station fare gates.
There are bicycle racks made available to the public. Bike racks are available at most BART stations. There is also a bike station located at 7011 Sunne lane just steps from the BART station entrance. This facility features secure self-park parking with a BikeLink Card and a full service bike-repair shop. Free secure bike parking is available at several BART stations.
There are also bike lockers. There are 88 on-demand BikeLink lockers available at this station. 22 single user keyed lockers are also available at this station.
This amazing landmark is located near the following must-see sights in Pleasant Hill, California:
Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Concord
Lindsay Wildlife Experience
Pleasant Hill Park
Frank Salfingere Park
Rodgers-Smith Park
Dinosaur Hill Park
All of these wonderful attractions are located just a short drive from our location near Downtown Walnut Creek, California on Locust Street. Stop by for a visit anytime!


Over the last six months, TRC Tourism has been working together with the Snowy Valleys Council and local community to develop a Mountain Bike Master Plan for the Hume and Hovell Track. Recognised as a 'Cycling Game Changer Project' in the Snowy Valleys Destination Management Plan, the Trail will consist of both new and existing sections of the Hume and Hovell Track from Blowering Dam to Mannus Lake.
The Snowy Valley region is well situated to provide a range of mountain biking experiences easily accessible from major cities. The area features immersive natural experiences through forests, framed by the alpine landscape and offers a range of adventure activities such as hiking, horse riding, fishing and water sports. The heritage towns and villages in the region are also well known for their local food, wine and breweries which packaged together with mountain biking will offer an ideal adventure escape.
The Vision for the Master Plan is to not only promote the natural environment, but to provide a range of riding experiences. The Trail will consist of varying sections, levels and durations; include on Trail visitor infrastructure such as campgrounds, lookouts and signage; link to the local towns and villages and package complementary activities such as accommodation, food and wine, retail and tour product so that the Hume and Hovell Trail becomes a complete experience.
Through economic modelling, TRC has shown a multitude of benefits that the proposed Mountain Bike Trail will create including visitor growth, economic benefits for local businesses and community, as well as becoming a resource supporting social and health and wellbeing benefits for the local Snowy Valleys community.
The Plan is currently available for public comment and shows proposed Trails, suggested itineraries and a proposed implementation schedule from 2018-2020.

COLUMN: Exploring the Sandhills Game Lands
In the northern parts of Richmond and Scotland counties lies more than 60,000 acres of the Sandhills Game Land. This land was part of a bigger purchase of land by the federal government in the early part of the 20th century. Over a half million acres of sandy poor land in five counties were and still are used to train our armed forces. Over time, the part known as Sandhills Game Management Land has been managed by state agencies like the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission, Fish Hatchery and Forest Service.

For a list of herbal and bodywork practitioners please see my SERVICES page.
Holistic Medicine means taking into account the mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual components of our bodies and illnesses. That is why Kara offers Herbal and Nutritional consultations, Ayurvedic Lymphatic Massage, and Pulse, tongue and facial diagnosis for clients. All bodywork is accompanied by a consultation to have the maximum therapeutic benefit.
Throughout history cultures rely on plants as the foundation for health and medicine. According to the World Health Organization, 82% of the world's population still depends on herbal medicine to meet basic health care needs. As Americans, we are in the minority of the peoples of the world who rely on the Western Medical Model of pharmaceuticals. We return to our ancestral roots and rejoin the world's populous by using herbs as food and medicine. We take back our health and our own power of healing by educating ourselves on healthy food and lifestyle choices.
Plant medicines allow the body to maintain health as well as return to dynamic equilibrium. It is not a static perfection that we are after, but the ever consciously changing shifts that bring us closer to balanced wellness. Herbs tone the body's ability to respond to stress and illness to be proactive and preventive in our process of health and healing.
Kara supports local farmers, community health, and respect for the earth. All herbs are organically grown or ethically harvested from the wild. Alcohol-based tinctures are made from biodynamically-grown organic grapes or cane.
I am a clinical herbalist making extracts from local organic and wild crafted plants. My medicine and practice are centered around respect for the plant allies and connecting them to the people that they serve. As a teacher my goals are to inspire empowered self/healthcare of body, mind and spirit, keeping in mind anti-oppression work and collective liberation as underlying themes of access to medicine.
My practice for the past 10 years has focused on Queer and Trans health. I teach classes on incorporating herbal allies into our daily chaotic stressful modern lives. Part of my social justice work entails working in free or low-income clinics and making my medicine as affordable and accessible as possible. I believe healing with herbs has the radical potential to change the world of access and privilege within medicine and this is rooted in the belief that healing ourselves is inseparable from healing our communities and the planet.

A: filter method takes predicate as a parameter. So you have to define a condition that returns true or false for your filter.
According to your model following code should return game results which contains your desired platform.
compositeDisposable.add(gameRepo.returnVideoGames()
  .map { gameModel ->
    gameModel.gamesResults.filter { gameResult -> gameResult.platforms.any { platform -> platform.name == platformName } }
  }
  .subscribe())

Also it seems you're storing the whole response object in your database. But I think this is unnecessary and not quite practical. Instead you could store the game result objects. Thus allowing you to reduce number of operations to achieve the same result. For example:
compositeDisposable.add(gameRepo.returnVideoGames()
  .filter { gameResult -> gameResult.platforms.any { platform -> platform.name == platformName } }
  .subscribe())

A: I'm an idiot and all I needed to do was query the api call differently.
So sorry, guys.

K-Gr 3—A picture book biography of one of the most significant and inspiring figures in library history. Pura Belpré, the first Puerto Rican librarian in New York City, initially arrived in Manhattan to attend her sister's wedding. Intrigued perhaps by the "hustle and bustle" of this "new island," she decided to stay, finding temporary work as a seamstress. Belpré truly found her calling when she took a position as a bilingual assistant (the text notes that was she was, in fact, trilingual) at a neighborhood library, and went on to transform library services through culturally diverse storytelling, published books, and targeted outreach. Denise sprinkles her lyrical verse with Spanish, and emphasizes Belpré's love of stories, plucking the title of the book from her desire "to be like Johnny Appleseed...plant my story seeds across the land." Escobar's warm illustrations enliven the subject and carry the motif by depicting Belpré in impeccably stylish outfits and accessories detailed with floral patterns. Because of the composition style, readers are given only brief depictions of significant moments in Belpré's personal and professional life, but Denise provides a detailed author's note, summarizing Belpré's lasting impact, and includes a great amount of back matter.
VERDICT An appealing tribute and successful remedy to the lack of titles about the groundbreaking librarian. This book pairs nicely with Lucia Gonzalez's The Storyteller's Candle, and is a must-have for all libraries.

I can't resist. I know I should, but I can't. I have too many wonderful ghost stories from Chattanooga to not write at least a little about one of them. So here is my favorite. There is an old cemetery on a mountain in Chattanooga. The cemetery is called Greenwood Cemetery and the most remarkable ghost stories from this cemetery aren't really from the cemetery at all. It is the quarry across the road from the cemetery that has the most remarkable ghost stories. The quarry looks more like a small pond than a quarry, but according to local legend, this pond is deep with caverns that drift off into nowhere lurking beneath its murky depths.
There are many stories associated with this quarry. There are tales of spectral green lights and drownings. But the most poignant story is the story of a young woman afflicted with polio. Apparently the disease crippled her and reduced her to a shell of a woman. Her husband was left to care for her, but he wasn't really up to the job. He took her out to the quarry and rolled her into the water and watched her drown.
Many tell the story of this young woman. They say she comes out at night. She drifts across the water dressed in white. She is beautiful, like she was before the disease. She comes with the mist and when the mist touches the ground, the footprints she leaves behind aren't footprints at all. They are wheelchair tracks.
this story is so sad! I can see why this is one of your favorites!
It was a creepy place. It was too quiet.
I saw her when I was eleven. I'm thirty three now. Her image is forever etched in my memory. We went out several nights to see her because my childhood buddies father told us stories of seeing her when he was a teenager. After several visits at night sitting in the church parking lot, there she was. In a white dress waving her arms, only to be seen in the mirrors on the car, when we turned around to look, she wasn't there. When we turned back around to look in the mirrors, there she was. Still gives me Goosebumps till this very day.

WeWork to Cut 2,400 Jobs Globally as Long-Expected Layoffs Begin
The laid-off workers will receive severance, continued benefits and other forms of assistance, according to a statement.
Nov 21, 2019 11:47 AM EST
WeWork,
The next shoe is dropping for beleaguered office space-sharing company WeWork, which has announced that it will be cutting 2,400 employees globally, or about 25% of its total workforce, in order to cut costs.
WeWork lost $1.25 billion in the third quarter on revenue of $934 million. The company was reportedly desperately in need of a cash infusion after its proposed initial public offering fell apart.
"We are grateful for the important roles they have played in building WeWork over the last decade," the company said in a statement to Bloomberg. "WeWork is seeking to stabilize its business and show a path to profitability after scrapping an initial public offering, and its value plummeted from $47 billion to about $8 billion."
The laid-off workers will receive severance, continued benefits and other forms of assistance, according to a statement the company sent to Bloomberg.
Japan's Softbank Group (SFTBY) bailed the company out with a $3 billion investment last month, but that was not enough to save the company from having to cut costs and jobs. That bailout included a buyout of ousted founder and former CEO Adam Neumann, who reportedly received a $1.7 billion golden parachute from Softbank on his way out.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the company reported a $197 million charge related to asset impairments as it wrote down the costs of businesses it has acquired. Meanwhile costs related to the IPO and other deals and restructuring totaled $83 million.
Meanwhile, the Journal also reported that the company was looking to lure departing T-Mobile U.S. TMUS CEO John Legere to run the company going forward, but that has not been confirmed. Earlier this week, Legere announced that he will step down from the company on May 1, with COO Mike Sievert taking over for him as the company's top executive.


The Notre Dame Girls Varsity Basketball team took its second consecutive MHSAA District title with a 71-59 win over Detroit Country Day. Just two weeks prior the Irish fell to the Yellow Jackets by 33 points and had never earned a playoff win over Country Day before Friday evening.
After ending the first quarter tied at 21-21, the Irish jumped out to a 34-29 lead at halftime before extending the lead to 52-41 after three quarters.
The Irish were led by Sarah Stuart with 24 points, including five three-point baskets. Elena Schwegman had 15 points, and Malorie Wilson recorded a double-double with 13 points and 15 rebounds. Senior Bridget Hauck added five of her seven points in the fourth quarter.
Notre Dame now advances to play Croswell-Lexington on Monday March 11 starting at 7:00 at Detroit Country Day.


She shared over the weekend that Kulture has picked up on some of Mom's sassy traits (and let's face it, Dad's as well).
Minutes after my daughter was born she was sticking out her middle finger and she stay doing it now all the time ????????????????She Soo disrespectful ????wonder where she got it from ?????
It looks like baby Kulture won't let anyone mess with her, and she's only a month old! If there's any indication here, she's probably going to be full of attitude, just like her mama.

These are days of much reflection for me ….?
Yes, indeed! You are with me whether gloom or glee! Even so? The moments of gloom multiply. The moments of glee? So far in between they happen to fly by and by.
These are days of much reflection for me as it is for a certain few. Yes, it's a comfort to find those few, but! For the most?
This is a lonely road in the trails of this insane world ….?
Even so, it is by choice that anyone travels in it. I made my choice. I chose to follow Yahushua. No regrets. How did I so chose?
By the power of my Father's love and wisdom from on high. Of my own power? Impossible. Unless the Father calls? No one can come to the SON.
What it means to live in self-righteousness ….?
The hardest I tried to follow Yahushua? The farthest away from Him I lived. Yes, to live in self-righteousness is to live far from Yahushua, but!
A self-righteous life is what all human beings with no exceptions are programmed to live. Eve n so? Father knows all about it.
It's now 5:14 pm. I slept from 1:31 pm to 3:39 pm. Was led to go directly to my inbox. There I was led to click on, https://adewumipeterblog.wordpress.com/2018/03/19/gods-generals-are-you-a-general-in-your-field/.
And my heart constricted big time! ….?
My Brother Peter is only expressing the staunch belief and standard for all Ministers leaders of the Flock.
I wanted to cry, but! Instead? Father's wisdom prevail. I found myself so full of laughter, compassion, immense undying love for all my deserters et all!
I do not debate or tell anybody what to do or not to do. I share what Father is doing with me.
All those so called 'Ministries' are not in the will of our Father.
We do not know our Father/Creator or His ways.
We are not going to any 'Heaven'.
The Kingdom of heaven is in our hearts, but! We take it for granted with our carnal minds.
The Kingdom of Heaven shall be established in Jerusalem here on earth like it is in heaven.
"My children think, act, live by what they know, but! My children do not 'know' Me. In the same way? You just realized it's the same about you and your children and friends.
Unless the Father/Creator does the work within each one of us personally? We labor in vain.
Yes, thank our Father for the great workers. Those workers did not mean for us to PRAISE THEM! They all directed us to our Father/Creator Yahuwah/Yahushua.
Unfortunately? We follow man not our Father/Creator. We have made a 'God' of our Father/Creator, but!
That's all coming to an end now. Behold! The Power of love and wisdom from on high. It never fails. It always avails.
Therefore? O well! Our paths have crossed. The plan of restoration to the original intent for our creation is now in effect.
We have been saved, but! We, liken to the Galatians & the Corinthians have remained CARNAL depending in our carnal mind knowledge.
BUT! No Problem. Our Father is STILL in control of it ALL!
HE IS BRINGING US ALL TO THE FIRST & MOST IMPORTANT OF THE COMMANDMENTS! Hahaha! HalleluYah.

Goffs Brewery – the Cotswold's leading craft beer micro-brewery.
Goffs Brewery was born in the shadows of Sudeley Castle by Marcus and Alison Goff, both of whom have a passion for creating great tasting beers. Marcus' father, Master Brewer Brian Goff, created the first batch of Jouster in 1994 – a good honest all English hopped session bitter – which has twice been a finalist in CAMRA's Great British Beer Festival, as well as winning many other regional awards.
After brewing the now renowned Cheltenham Gold for race week, demand was so great it was soon promoted to our permanent roster of core beers. Accolades such as Gloucestershire's Beer of the Year 2017 make this American hopped golden ale a firm favourite in pubs and bars across the county and beyond.
Lancer, Jouster, Fallen Knight and Cheltenham Gold, our regular beers, have become firm favourites with ale drinkers in our local area and beyond.
Here's just a few of our accolades!
JOUSTER – Twice finalist of CAMRA's Great British Beer Festival and heralded as one of CAMRA's Champion Beers of the Year.
We also add Champion Best Bitter for Gloucestershire to the cabinet for this, our first ever beer brewed.
Bohemian style pale ale. Straw coloured appearance with a white head that holds well.
The aroma is hoppy and complex and brewed using Czech and German hops to give a 'continental flavour'. This Goff's Summer ale is a delight to drink in the British summer weather.
Summer Ale goes particularly well with a traditional ploughmans or with classic fish and chips.
Only available for the next 3 months.
We currently bottle four of our award winning beers: Jouster, Cheltenham Gold, White Knight and Black Knight. These beers are offered in 500ml bottles and are available in good local outlets or directly from the Brewery.

COAST And Country — The Mighty Beech Has Its Roots In Scotland
22 August, 2020 | Features
IN the glen behind Wemyss Bay, where the wood gives way to the open moor, there's a stand of hulking great beech trees, writes David Carnduff.
Their age and origins are a mystery; maybe they self-seeded or were planted by workers on the Kelly estate which was home to prominent Scots in past centuries.
But one thing is certain: their height and girth suggest they are very old. Their enormous grey-green boughs have endured the onslaught of many a winter gale but have always survived to support a canopy of green come spring.
As a kid, I explored this area with pals, but it's only now that I look at these trees afresh through mature eyes to appreciate their stature.
They have also given me an appreciation of trees in general, and everywhere I go in and around Inverclyde I surprise myself by seeing fine specimens that have always been there but which have escaped my notice until now.
Just take a look at the fine oaks and horse chestnuts in the fields at Ardgowan estate and Finlaystone and you'll see what I mean.
Maybe it's knowing that trees are home to an array of wildlife and have an important role in tackling climate change that has opened my eyes, and while I don't consider myself a 'tree hugger' as such, I am dismayed when I hear of centuries-old specimens being felled for new roads or housing.
Despite it being a familiar and widespread feature of woodland across the country, the beech's rightful place on the list of native trees in the UK has until recently been a matter of doubt, with suggestions that it is an imposter — an introduction from Europe, no less.
According to reports, this was put to the test by researchers who examined the DNA of more than 800 beech trees from 42 locations across Britain and compared them with trees from mainland Europe.
It showed that almost all the UK beeches tested are from populations native to Britain and not planted from abroad, as had been thought.
The findings led researchers to declare happily that the beech can now be considered a true native of Scotland. It can rightly take its place with the Scots pine, rowan, birch, elder and a host of others.
Meanwhile, on the exposed hillside not far from my row of beeches, I have found an ancient, half-dead specimen. This old "Braveheart" bears the scars inflicted in many a battle fought with winter storms but still has some living branches where leaves sprout defiantly every spring.
The tree stands in lonely isolation at a spot where few people go, so I have decided to show it some appreciation the next time I'm up there. And by that I mean a hug. The old timer deserves one!

Following up on the article I posted, I have started work on getting OS X Yosemite to boot on QEMU. I also have tested all video cards supplied with QEMU on OS X and have interesting notes.
Yosemite is an interesting topic among hackintoshers and people running virtualized copies of OS X. Apple have decided to finally discontinue legacy boot support in 10.10 (Yosemite) by removing mach_kernel which bootloaders like Chameleon and BIOSes looked for when trying to boot a HDD. Instead they have moved it to /System/Library/Kernels/kernel and legacy bootloaders can no longer boot this.
Clover. The simple answer is a bootloader capable of booting in EFI or UEFI mode. All Apple computers capable of running OS X Yosemite load it through Apple's boot.efi file and since Clover is an EFI bootloader it can quite happily load is and boot Yosemite.
Not yet. We have OVMF which is a UEFI bootloader for QEMU however this currently does not have OS X support and therefore, even if you can get Clover to boot, no operating systems are detected and we can get no further because of the lack of OS X specific support.
You can use VNC (provided by QEMU) to access OS X to do the install (and if you do not have a public-facing (or private if you're running this locally) IP address to access it from) but the mouse positioning is not ideal. As you move your mouse more, the virtual cursor will get further away from your real cursor which makes it very difficult to use. Solution? OS X Screen Sharing + VNC. Hidden with System Preferences->Sharing is "Screen Sharing" which is a hidden gem for both people accessing on OS X who can use the native screen sharing app (vnc://ip_address) but also for Linux and Windows clients who can access the VM via VNC (System Preferences->Sharing->Screen Sharing->Advanced) by setting a password in the Screen Sharing preferences.
QEMU provides us with the following drivers for a simulated graphics card: std, cirrus, vmware, qxl, xenfb, tcx, cg3. Now the following don't work under OS X: qxl, xenfb, tcx and cg3. That leaves us with std, cirrus and vmware.
This driver will quite happily boot OS X, both in Screen Sharing and VNC (provided by QEMU) however as soon as you install the VMsvga2 kext in OS X you will be unable to boot, with no kernel panic output but simply a line specifying the "System uptime in nanoseconds". So this isn't recommended as it may be unstable without the kext.
This driver will work fine in VNC (provided by QEMU) however as soon as you use Screen Sharing or any VNC server within OS X you will get wonderful purple graphics glitches, unsure how to fix this.
This will work for both VNC (provided by QEMU) and Screen Sharing and this is the driver I personally recommend to use since it is stable in my testing and provides reasonable performance for a non hardware-enhanced driver.
This will be interesting since QEMU now supports VGA passthrough via VFIO however I have neither an ATI nor NVidia card and therefore I am unable to test this, so do not expect any research from me on this.
This will quite happily work fine in Mountain Lion and below, however Mavericks will complain that it is not properly signed. To combat this, simply move the kext from System/Library/Extensions to your desktop and drop it into Kext Utility and this will sign and install it for you. Then you will get no kernel panics on boot.
Based on my previous research, the method was that you need to go from Mountain Lion -> Mavericks via an upgrade. This is now false, you can install Mavericks directly. I believe there may be issues with Mavericks and therefore the install will be hit and miss so continue trying until you get it complete.
