As winter rolls in, your utility bills can increase if you don't make smart choices when using your heating system. Keeping your Nashville, Georgia home warm and cozy is important, but you shouldn't have to drain your holiday funds to do it. Heat your home more affordably and efficiently with these tips.
You won't need to keep the home as warm during the night as you do in the daytime. Set your thermostat back 10 to 15 degrees and you will see significant savings on your energy bill. To compensate for the difference, switch to heavy flannel sheets and add an extra blanket or two on the bed, and use appropriate sleepwear. If you have a programmable thermostat, you can set it so the house is warm enough when you have to get up in the morning.
A furnace that is clean and well-maintained will cost less to operate. Begin with an annual maintenance. Your HVAC technician will clean the unit, tighten connections, and oil moving parts as necessary to improve performance and lower your energy expenses. Continue to keep things clean yourself by changing the filter as needed.
Go through the home and carefully check each vent. Your vents should be open and unblocked. If furniture or any other item is placed too close to a vent, the air won't circulate properly, and you will end up with hot and cold spots in the room. Closing the vent to an unused room seems smart, but this actually alters the pressure in the home and decreases your energy efficiency.
Keep the curtains open during the day, particularly on windows that receive direct sunlight. This will let natural heat into your home. Close the curtains at night to retain this heat. Thick curtains can also help to keep the warm air in and block the effect of cold air from the windows.
For more information about increasing the efficiency of your furnace, contact Ray & Son at (229) 686-5531. We can keep your system in peak shape for the maximum energy efficiency.

This government has always supported and respected the ABC's legislated independence. That is why the government's appointments to the ABC Board have always been made in accordance with the ABC's legislation.
The claims being made by GetUp! and their friends in the Labor Party are disingenuous and misleading. As someone who clearly cares about the ABC you deserve to be told the truth, especially since the process for ABC Board appointments was designed and legislated by Labor when last in government.
The Coalition Government has followed Labor's legislated process and has made each and every one of its ABC Board appointments in full compliance to the letter of the law. Labor has in the past appointed a former Labor pollster, a former Labor Premier and former Labor staff. This Coalition Government has not made and will not make any political appointments to the ABC Board.
As with ABC Board vacancies, the ABC's Act requires an independent nomination panel process to be initiated when there is a vacancy for the position of Chair. The independent panel makes recommendations, and if a person is appointed other than through panel nomination, the government acts transparently by tabling a statement in the Parliament explaining the reasons for the decision.
The government has initiated this process and Korn Ferry has been engaged by the Department of Communications and the Arts to assist the panel. Korn Ferry is a well-known global executive recruitment agency. Neither the Minister nor the government had any involvement in this decision.

More human bones could be found in island's slave valley
Further human remains could yet be disturbed as work continues on St Helena's airport project, a source has cautioned.
It's been confirmed that "a number of human bones" were found on Friday 14 September 2012, on ground being used by construction firm Basil Read as a laydown area for equipment and materials.
More than 300 skeletons were exhumed in Rupert's Valley in 2008 when archaeologists cleared ground for the airport haul road – which opened recently.
Lead archaeologist Andy Pearson – who has coincidentally returned to the island on another project – had been asked to investigate parts of the valley that might be disturbed by airport construction works.
Rupert's Valley contains many unmarked shallow graves of Africans who were put ashore on St Helena after being rescued from slave ships. Records of the location of slave graves are said to be very poor, though maps have been produced historically.
The latest set of bones was in material thought to have been excavated during building work elsewhere some years ago.
The St Helena Independent said "It is likely that the remains come from the excavation of the building site for the power station.
"It is known and accepted that during construction work in Rupert's Valley in the 1980's and before, a significant number of Liberated African's graves were disturbed.
"Some disarticulated remains were taken to St Paul's graveyard for burial but others were left in their disturbed condition in Rupert's Valley."
A protocol has been put in place for dealing with any other remains that come to light.
Initially, this means cordoning off the area while expert archaeological advice is sought.
Further investigations of the affected site would be carried out, or alternative areas of ground found for Basil Read's use.
With most of the company's construction vehicles now transported out of the valley, it was thought that cordoning off the area of the new finds would not have significant impact on operations.

Repost: Sage advice from DC Cab– "That which makes you can also break you…" and "Don't let your dick run your life."
October 24, 2021 knotty1980s, Chris Hansen, DC Cab, Hansen vs. Predator, Mr. Rhythm, Mr. T., perverts, repost, sex offenders, To Catch a Predator, true crime, Whitman Mayo Leave a comment
I just ran across this post I wrote for my original blog on November 14, 2018. I am reposting it today, as/is, as I think about what today's fresh content will be about.
Many years ago, for the very first time, I watched a comedy film starring Mr. T. The film, which was made in 1983, was called D.C. Cab, and it was about a group of misfit cab drivers in Washington, D.C. It was a mostly forgettable movie, but it did have a few funny lines in it. For that reason alone, I bought it on DVD and still watch it when I need a cheap laugh. One of my favorite lines in D.C. Cab comes at the very beginning. The late actor Whitman Mayo, who plays a character called "Mr. Rhythm", says to the camera, "Don't let your dick run your life."
Sage advice from Mr. Rhythm, and cheap, too!
This topic comes up after I spent about an hour yesterday watching videos on YouTube starring Chris Hansen of "To Catch a Predator" fame. I remember back in 2007, when Bill was in Iraq, sitting at home on weekday evenings watching Hansen busting would be perverts who were caught trying to meet teenaged girls they met on the Internet. These guys were chatting and sending dick pics to people they thought were young girls, but were actually young looking police officers posing as teens.
A few months later, Bill and I moved to Germany the first time, and I lost track of Hansen's show, which I think was eventually canceled. But then yesterday, I discovered that Hansen was back with a newer show called Hansen vs. Predator, which aired in 2016. Someone uploaded a bunch of videos from that show on YouTube. Below is the first one I encountered.
32 year old math tutor Mike Manzi, who goes by the handle "Mike Thrilla" online, arrives at a house intending to "chill out" with a thirteen year old girl while he smokes marijuana. Instead, he meets Chris Hansen and gets busted. Then, amazingly enough, he argues with Hansen when Hansen tells him who he is.
Before he visits the "girl", Manzi admits that he shouldn't be talking to her. He has suspicions that he could be walking into a trap. And yet, he takes the risk anyway… obviously not having seen D.C. Cab and heard Mr. Rhythm's excellent advice. Hansen asks Manzi what he's doing at the girl's house, and Manzi claims he came over just to make sure "everything was okay." Yeah… I don't think so. Don't let your dick run your life, buddy.
Mr. Rhythm also says "That what makes you can also break you." Given that the origin of life is at the end of a man's penis, I think that's also good advice. After all, without a man's contribution, a woman can't get pregnant. So don't let your dick run– or ruin– your life.
Contrary to his big plans for the day, Mr. Manzi doesn't spend the afternoon smoking weed with a young girl. He begs Hansen to let him go. Hansen says "no" and Manzi goes to jail. But he's not the only one who gets caught in Hansen's web.
Here's a guy from Boston who brings pizza to meet a 13 year old girl… and offers Hansen a slice just before Hansen drops the hammer.
I sat there yesterday and thought to myself that the sex drive in some men must be extremely irresistible if they're taking these kinds of chances. Obviously, these dudes have seen Chris Hansen on TV. They know what's going to happen if they run into Chris Hansen. And yet, when they are trapped in Hansen's clutches, they try to wriggle out of them in a most pathetic way. If only they'd listened to Mr. Rhythm. His advice is so good.
Come to think of it, Mr. T.'s speech is worth listening to, as well. Dignity, self-respect, and pride… all well worth maintaining. And if you're chatting with adolescents on the Internet with the intention of getting busy with them, you have no dignity, self-respect, pride, decency, pot, or pizza… What you have is a criminal record and public humiliation as you get publicly busted on primetime TV and/or YouTube.
Adults, male or female, have no business "chatting up" teenagers on the Internet, particularly when it comes to anything sexual. And they have no business going to a child's house in search of companionship or to make sure they're "okay", especially after they've been caught having explicit chats with them online.
Here's Jesse Velez, 28 years old, and looking for companionship with a boy he thought had only just turned 13, but was actually a young looking 19 year old actor. Velez had actually been chatting with Lori, a police officer. When Hansen confronts Velez about sending the "boy" a picture of his private parts, the guy tries to deny it. How embarrassing!
I'm glad all three of these guys were busted and didn't actually harm anyone. I don't envy today's parents. I'm sure it must be a challenge to constantly monitor their children's Internet activity, as well as the adults with whom they come into contact. On the other hand, there was no Internet during my childhood and I still managed to run into a pervert.
I guess it just goes to show that it pays to be vigilant, and make sure you're thinking with the right head. If you let your dick run your life, you may find it impossible to talk your way out of the mess. So remember Mr. Rhythm whenever you get the urge to make rhythm with someone inappropriate. Remember, that what makes you can also break you.
Fresh for 2021: I might have to watch DC Cab today… It's a good one.

Judge Dismisses Lawsuit Against Gun Industry
SAN DIEGO – A judge dismissed gun makers as defendants in a lawsuit filed by 12 California cities but ruled the case can continue against several gun dealers.
Superior Court Judge Vincent DiFiglia did not issue a written opinion in ruling Friday in favor of 29 weapons makers and three trade associations.
The remaining claims against three wholesalers and two retailers could go to trial in late April, he said.
The suit accused the defendants of creating a public nuisance by distributing weapons in a way that makes them accessible to criminals through illegitimate markets.
The gun makers had argued that they were too far removed from the point of sale to be held responsible.
"This is a definitive victory for us," said Lawrence G. Keane, general counsel for the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a gun industry trade association.
The suit was filed by Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Sacramento and other municipalities, along with the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
Jonathan Lowy, a lawyer for the Brady Center, said he expects the cities will appeal.
The suit, filed in 1999, is one of more than a dozen such actions filed against the gun industry nationwide in the past few years. Several, including suits in Atlanta and New Orleans, were dismissed because of state laws granting immunity to the gun industry.
Suits by Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland and Newark, N.J., are continuing, but none has reached the trial stage.


Reggie Harris | What's New?
This morning I woke up after with the most joy in my heart as I've had for a while. The winter Solstice concerts that I shared over the weekend with Kim and our friends Magpie, (Greg Artzner and Terry Leonino) put me in the right frame of mind to face both this time of lessening light and increased global concern. It has been clearly evident, on every front, that we find ourselves in a time of division and mistrust in America, with all sides firmly in a battle to claim their stake in the framing of this cultural narrative.
We are, apparently, not doing a good job of sharing light in this dark and disordered house.
After 8 years of wrestling with the reality of having our first Black President, we now find ourselves in somewhat of a hangover. Our nation embraced, and then, forfeited the chance to move in a decisive forward direction towards healing our great national dilemma and our deep national shame. We have still not paid that debt that was pointed out to us in the great "I Have a Dream" speech that brother Martin laid out some 5o plus years ago. The dream lies in storage, unpaid.
Standing on land where slaves were denied freedom and yet, through their labor and sacrifice, made that dream of wealth and access possible for others and for the country to grow and prosper, Greg and I felt deeply that our music was bonding us deeper, as Black and White descendants of that storied past. Each of our families have come forward in this narrative, through the lens of slavery and struggle, to reach this very presently divided America. And yet, the narrative of our own personal histories and the fact that music unites us so powerfully, has made our journey together a window of opportunity to frame something that is deeper than the skin.
On that base, we have pledged ourselves to embrace this mission; to find out what this new dream, rooted in the American dream, can truly become. Together, we are now reacting to history and to the election of one of the most divisive figures to ever run for president with purpose. And it will be with music, story and dialogue that we go forward to explore, expose and lift truth out of the profit driven malaise that has landed us in a place that Dr. Martin Luther King, Howard Thurman, Pete Seeger, Eleanor Roosevelt and, yes, Abraham Lincoln saw and tried to warn us away from making our own.
We are inflicting wounds on our national body and psyche at an unimaginable rate. And yet, warnings can only be heeded by those who see and hear with open ears and hearts!
It's never been more clear to me that music has always been and will be be one of the critical ingredients to bringing some reason to the dialogue we are trying to have in this nation. While it is true that reaching out to dialogue with all parties is important, building a cohesive and solidified front with those who have already proven that they have a sense of what a diverse community perspective (in terms of facing our global issues with reasoned and shared collaborative effort) will be the only antidote in dealing with those who seem bent on winning at all costs.
It's been a real chore to hold a hopeful stance while listening to the chorus of negativity that has been sung so loudly. And yet, as I listen to and read the words of one of our great leaders, Rev. William C. Barber, minister, theologian and President of the North Carolina NAACP, I see and feel a power that can help us all to form coalitions in what is now, the New Fusion Political movement. It is a movement that recognizes the important fact that, as the great poet Maya Angelou once said, "We have all been bought and sold!" Knowing this, it is incumbant on all of us to remember that, if we stand united, our collective and our individual interests become more able to be served with a sense of inclusion and progressive intention.
In our annual December concert at the 8th Step Coffehouse at Proctors (http://8thstep.org/8thstep.org/Home.html) on Sunday night, we closed the show with the Peter Yarrow song, "Light One Candle. The song articulates the importance of staying in the fight with a positive attitude. Our resolve in the midst of struggle for justice must be one that honors the past while seeking to be proactive in vision and action.
One of the most important lines in the song, occurs in the third verse and typifies this important aspect of a committed approach. Peter wrote, " We have come this far, always believing that justice will somehow prevail!" His use of the word, "somehow " is a critical acknowledgment that justice is not easily won and is the result of long years of diligent and persistent work centered on hope. That there will be resistance to our claiming our rights is a given. But the legacy of hope is only secured by commitment to the mission that was begun long ago by others on whose shoulders we stand.
The election weeks ago was a reality check. Mr Trump managed to win, in some remarkable and also mysterious ways, by using the message of anger and dissatisfaction of those who are not seeing their interests included, to his own advantage. It was and is a cynical message, underlined by his solutions which, at every point, seem to serve his interests more than the country at large. Yet, he rallied millions to his cause and will try to control the narrative.
Fortunately, over 4,000,000 people (and more who did not vote) recognized this sham of leadership and we can now fire up our "fusion movement" to take on the forces of retro -brain just as they are doing now in North Carolina.
As a musician, I see the parallels to this challenge in the songs that have carried the hope and dreams of those from Underground Railroad to the present day movements of freedom, climate change, (which Trump dismisses) equity and to movements of justice the world over. "Keep Your eyes on the Prize", "We Shall Overcome" and "Wade in the Water" are joining more modern anthems in the mouths of protestor of all races, ages, genders and backgrounds.
We sing the songs that lift hearts and call new people to action. The melody and lyrics of a new America are being written everyday in the minds of a rising tide of thinkers, activists and story crafters.
At a time of crisis in the past, when I was despairing the lack of leadership and possibility, Pete Seeger said this, "Reggie, when things get tough and there is no visible way forward, that is the best time to sing!" So sing we must, as our cause, it is just!
Teach your children and tell your neighbors. The revolution is still on!

Sebastián Marroquín (urodzony jako Juan Pablo Escobar w 1977 roku w Medellín w Kolumbii) – kolumbijski architekt i pisarz, syn bossa narkotykowego Pabla Escobara.

Śmierć ojca
2 grudnia 1993 roku policja zlokalizowała i zastrzeliła Pabla Escobara, kiedy największy zbrodniarz Medellín rozmawiał przez telefon ze swoim synem. Miejsce pobytu Escobara zostało ustalone ze względu na jego częste korzystanie z telefonu. Został on przez to zauważony przez otwarte okno podczas rozmowy telefonicznej. Policja otoczyła budynek, a następnie do niego weszła. Escobar zaczął uciekać po dachach, gdzie został zastrzelony.

Późniejsze życie
Juan wraz z matką i siostrą na początku uciekł do Mozambiku, a następnie wyjechał na podstawie wizy turystycznej do Argentyny, gdzie ostatecznie pozostał i stał się obywatelem na wygnaniu ojczystej Kolumbii. Juan Pablo zmienił swoje imię i nazwisko na "Sebastián Marroquín", które znalazł w książce telefonicznej.

Chociaż Sebastian i jego rodzina nadal zarabiają na prawach do nazwiska i podobizny Pabla Escobara (takich jak sprzedaż odzieży z podobizną Pabla) oraz potrójnej nieudanej próby rejestracji marki Escobar Marroquín nie chce być wiązanym z ojcem, ani być wspominanym pod poprzednim nazwiskiem. Postanowił się także kategorycznie odciąć od Kartelu z Medellín i nielegalnego handlu narkotykami w Kolumbii.

Marroquín ukończył studia na wydziale architektury. Obecnie mieszka w Buenos Aires wraz z żoną i córką. Pracuje jako architekt. Osobiście spotkał się z kilkoma ofiarami ojca, co zostało ukazane w filmie Grzechy mojego ojca.

Marroquín wracał dwukrotnie do Kolumbii: raz by odwiedzić grób ojca i drugi raz na premierę filmu Grzechy mojego ojca. Nie pozwolono mu wjechać do Hacienda Nápoles, by odwiedzić posiadłość Escobara o powierzchni 20 km2, znajdującą się około 180 km na wschód od Medellín, skonfiskowaną przez rząd Kolumbii po śmierci Pabla i obecnie zarządzaną przez gminę Puerto Triunfo jako park rozrywki, kamping i muzeum zbrodni Escobara.

Odniesienia medialne
W 2009 roku miała miejsce premiera argentyńskiego filmu dokumentalnego Grzechy mojego ojca. Film ten, tworzony przez pięć lat, ukazywał podróż Marroquína, którą odbył w celu przeproszenia synów ofiar jego ojca Pabla Escobara. Film promuje pojednanie i zakończenie nienawiści.

Używając swojego poprzedniego nazwiska Juan Pablo Escobar, Marroquin wydał książkę Pablo Escobar: My Father (2014).

Marroquin stworzył swoją własną linię ubrań organicznych "Escobar Henao", używając elementów z życia ojca, takich jak odzież z paskami. Marroquin stwierdził, że część pieniędzy ze swoich przedsięwzięć biznesowych przekaże ofiarom ojca i kolumbijskim fundacjom charytatywnym.

Like the popular LAMP installs for Linux you can do the same with a Mac with just a few clicks.

Pluto TV now has more than 15M active users
Apr 9, 2019 11:18am
Pluto TV ended 2018 with more than 12 million monthly active users, and continues to add viewers. (Pluto TV)
Ad-supported streaming service Pluto TV, which was recently acquired by Viacom, said that it now has more than 15 million monthly active users on its platform.
Pluto TV's user base has increased by more than 3 million since the beginning of the year. Viacom said that Pluto TV ended 2018 with more 12 million monthly active users, 7.5 million of which were on connected TVs.
Attracting more users to its platform will be key for Pluto TV as the company looks to claim share in an OTT advertising market that is poised to grow significantly.

Recent figures from Magna Global show that OTT accounts for 29% of TV viewing, but it's only managed to snag 3% of TV ad budgets. Still, OTT advertising totaled $2.7 billion in revenue in 2018, up 54% year over year.
Pluto TV is still trailing some big competitors in the ad-based video on demand (AVOD) streaming space. In January during CES, Amazon said its Fire TV platform had more than 30 million active users. In the same month, Roku announced that it had more than 27 million active accounts.
RELATED: Viacom says Pluto TV deal is a $1B ad revenue opportunity
During its February first-quarter earnings call, Viacom said that Pluto TV is a $1 billion advertising revenue opportunity for the company.
"Pluto TV audience is young, gender-balanced and hard to reach – in fact, 50% of Pluto TV viewers are between the ages of 18 & 34. Importantly, Pluto TV – with its nascent ad sales force – currently sells less than 50% of this inventory, so there's plenty of upside here," said Viacom CEO Bob Bakish during the earnings call.
Pluto TV's new active user count arrived along with news that the service has set a new distribution deal with BBC Studios that will bring shows, including "Being Erica" along with pop-up channels dedicated to classic "Doctor Who" and "Antiques Roadshow" episodes, to the platform beginning next month. In all, the deal covers nearly 1,000 episodes of BBC Studios series, totaling more than 700 hours of new programming for Pluto TV.
"This new Pluto TV enterprise is appealing for us as we continue to attract new audiences through the creation of branded pop-up channels like Classic Doctor Who and Antiques Roadshow and expand on opportunities for existing fans to find their favorite shows to stream, in a unique way," said Beth Clearfield, senior vice president of digital strategy and franchise business management at BBC Studios – Americas, in a statement.

The talk began with a question raised to V Madhusoodanan Nair, "Is language equally competing with the growing education? He addressed language as the essence of a society. His opinion was that one's language can be developed only if one can mingle with his own culture and society. He cited several examples which prove that a malayali is yearning more for foreign language than his own.
He concluded by telling that for growing language we need a growing urge in us to increase our wealth in language. The n the question was raised to V Karthikeyan regarding the problems faced by the Kerala Bhasha Institute. He began his talk by complaining about the absence of women on the dais. He stated that the institution is all set to face all the criticisms towards it. He opined that the language was not the problem, the access ways of education was the problem. He suggested the histories to e taught in one's mother tongue.

When asked 'Is a malayali productive', P Pavithran emphasized on the application of Malayalam language in eth educational systems and te problems faced by Malayalam language due to transition from agricultural era to industrial era.
Creation of new words among the media workers was asked to Joshua and he informed that the greatest challenge faced by media workers was translation. He strictly adhered with the opinions of Madhusoodanan Nair.

China resolved to fight against air pollution
coal-fueled heating period
Ministry of Environmental Protection
Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli has called for resolute and steady efforts to combat air pollution in heavily-polluted areas surrounding the country's capital.
Zhang, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, made the comments Wednesday at a meeting on the prevention and control of air pollution in Beijing and its surrounding areas.
At the meeting, the Ministry of Environmental Protection (MEP) and the governments of six province-level regions signed an agreement on the goals and responsibilities for air pollution prevention and control.
The six regions, all located in the northern part of China, suffer the most from heavy air pollution, including capital Beijing, municipality Tianjin, provinces of Hebei, Shanxi and Shandong and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
Earlier statistics by the MEP showed that air pollution in Beijing and its neighbors Tianjin and Hebei was heavier than other parts of the country in August.
A total of 13 monitored cities in the region had about 20 of the 31 days in August failing to meet the required standards, said the MEP.
Describing the fight against air pollution as a "long-term, arduous and complicated task," Zhang called for determination and steady methods that focus on key areas and are implemented gradually.
"Cities that are heavily polluted should be key targets, with strengthened supervision on various pollution sources and efforts to cut them down," said Zhang.
According to Zhang, a list of ten cities with the best air quality and ten with the worst will be published each month.
He stressed less use of coal, clean energy as substitutes, emission reduction for automobiles, promotion of public transportation and environment-friendly industrial technology.
According to Zhang, during the coal-fueled heating period in winter, pollution monitoring should be strengthened, and low-quality coal should not be used for heating and cooking.
He also urged local governments to set strict goals and shoulder responsibilities for the quality of air within their jurisdictions.
The vice premier called for a system that enables coordinated anti-pollution efforts from multiple regions in supervision and law enforcement as well as an environmental information sharing platform.
According to the MEP, air quality in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei and their neighboring provinces has improved in the last five years, with a significant reduction of heavily polluted days, and another five years or more will be taken to further decrease heavy air pollution.
On Sept. 12, the ministry came out with a multi-pronged approach to deal with the country's air pollution, focusing on the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area, as well as the Yangtze Delta and Pearl River Delta regions.
The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region is in need of more attention with higher aims, stricter control measures and greater government support, the ministry said.
In response to the ministry's call, also on Sept. 12, the Beijing government issued an air-cleaning plan for 2013 to 2017, aiming at eight programs to reduce emissions.
The governments of the other five regions are also looking at ways to fight against air pollution.

10 Best Substitutes For Arugula
By Kamruzzaman
Arugula is a popular salad green, but is costly and may not be available at all times of the year. Even if the cost was not a consideration, it has its uses. More than a garnish than a substitute for less expensive greens. It has a distinctive flavor not found in substitute greens.
Arugula substitutes are best to use in recipes where they will replace a small amount of arugula. But not substitute for other greens in the recipe. These are from research. But no definitive benefits have been proven. However, a substitute may be useful to help prevent age-related vision loss.
You can Substitute For Arugula with Spinach, Brown leaf lettuce, Mint, Bok Choy, Endive, Raddichio, Dandelion Green, Purslane, Watercress, Kale.
Top Arugula Substitute

Not many people know that arugula is very similar to dandelions in taste and bitterness. This makes arugula more tolerable for those who can't stand its' strong bitter taste. The only difference between them is their appearance. Arugula leaves look like ferns while dandelion greens look like spinach or chard (picture below).
8. Purslane:
If arugula is not available, try purslane. The flavor and texture are similar. The leaves are smaller but have a slightly peppery taste that adds interest to many dishes. You can easily grow arugula and purslane in warm weather. Although arugula is more tender so you can sow it directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed.

Both are good sources of calcium for vegetarian diets. Purslane contains more omega-3 fatty acids than spinach or mustard greens. One study found that arugula contains over 10 times the amount of iron as iceberg lettuce; however, it also contained five times as much nitrate.
9. Watercress:
Watercress is arugula's close cousin, so you can replace arugula for watercress in most dishes. Both have a peppery bite to them, which also complements many foods well. Since arugula is more delicate than its stronger cousin, cook it only briefly or add it toward the end of the cooking time.

It can be used as a substitute for arugula. Its health benefits make it one of the most followed veggies by health-conscious people among others.
What is arugula?
Arugula is an aromatic salad green with a pungent flavor. It is also called Rucola or Roquette in Europe. In the US, it is packaged as arugula (often labeled Rocket), but it refers to the plant Eruca sativa and arugula is the common name of this plant.
How to choose arugula?
Choose arugula that is bright green, with no wilting or yellowing. Avoid that has bruised leaves. It has feathery leaves and will bruise easily. If it is shipped in plastic bags, make sure it is not crushed. Use it as soon as possible.
How to store arugula?
Store arugula in the refrigerator wrapped loosely in a plastic bag. And lined with paper towels or newspaper. So that it absorbs excess moisture and keeps arugula from coming into contact with other vegetables that might be more prone to spoilage (i.e., broccoli). Use it as soon as possible.
How to prepare arugula?
Remove arugula from the stems. Then rinse it in a colander under cold, running water. Shake off any excess water. Tear the leaves into bite-size pieces with your hands or cut with kitchen shears. Rinse again if it feels gritty. Use it immediately after preparation.
What arugula is good for?
Arugula has many health benefits. It provides vitamins A, C, and K as well as the minerals copper, potassium, calcium, and iron. It also contains aragonite, a glucosinolate that helps reduce toxins from the body (source). A study in Japan found arugula improved age-related memory impairments (source). It has a high content of nitrates that may be beneficial in the treatment and prevention of heart disease (Source). For more information, visit this page.
How much protein does arugula contain?
Arugula is an excellent source of protein, provides 1.4 grams per serving. Protein helps maintain muscle mass. It is loaded with B vitamins that are essential for energy metabolism. It is also rich in iron (Source).
How much arugula per day should I eat?
You can have arugula every day, but make sure you consume it in moderate amounts. Because it has a high concentration of nitrates. Consuming it in large amounts can cause gastric irritation (Source). Be careful it might not be suitable for those with diabetes because arugula has high nitrates.
Arugula is a vegetable that is slowly finding its way into the American diet. However, arugula should not be eaten without knowing what arugula substitution it really is. It is a great addition to a healthy diet.
You should be cautious while eating arugula substitution as it can also cause harm if not consumed carefully. It rapidly absorbs water and pesticides from the ground in which it is grown. Arugula that is purchased at a local grocery store may have traces of pesticide residue due to the efficiency of modern farming practices.

Speculation is high in the mainstream motorcycle press about a new Triumph Tiger, that 'according to sources' is to break cover (sic) in 2007.
One publication even reproduced spy shots of the this new animal looking every inch a big Super Moto rather than the Dual Purpose machine it has always been billed as.
Time therefore to have a look at the current '06 model and have a quick look back at its history, just in case the rumours are correct. The Tiger moniker has been around for decades in Triumph's model line-up, but rather than delve too far past the average age of our readership, we will just go back to the early eighties and the end of the original Triumph factory.
At the Paris Show in 1981 they launched the 744cc Triumph Tiger Trail, a proper trail styled motorcycle with an upswept pipe and reasonable off-road pretensions. (This was also produced as a 650, although both models were variations of the then Thunderbird Roadster.) Providing you were a competent rider you could use this bike to explore some of the ancient roads that still cross the UK safe in the knowledge that it would not be too unwieldy.
These and other models though failed to halt the closure of the factory, but by 1990 a whole new modern company under John Bloor, was showing the world a range of bikes very different to those that had come before and there was not a twin cylinder machine in sight!
Come 1993 and the Tiger name once again joined the roll call as a dual purpose machine, however now it was a three cylinder bike with a top half fairing. It looked and still does look like, a bike you would load up with all your worldly goods and set off around the world rather than take down a muddy lane on a Sunday trail ride.
Certainly the weight had increased from the 174kg of the twins and at 209kg you would need to be a rider of exceptional ability to control such a porcine bike on the rough. The bike was tall and the weight was carried high to go with the increased ground clearance demanded by the style.
Despite the scepticism of some of the media at the time about the relevance of such a machine, it has endured to this day with various up-dates and modifications that included a move to the 955i motor at the turn of the century. It now sits firmly amongst the big trailies from all the various manufacturers, beating them all on price.
So without speculating too much on the future, let's look at what we have now. It is big bike powered by the firm's 955i in-line three cylinder liquid cooled motor complete with DOHC's. It is obviously detuned, so instead of the big numbers attached to the sports Daytona, it pumps out 104 bhp, enough to get it to just short of 140 mph if you are in the right place!
However, as we all know it is not about high speeds, it is more the way it gets there and the useable power for real world riding and legal speed limits. Here the bike is very good and well on a par with the competition, although the power delivery is clinically efficient rather than exciting as with some similar bikes from other factories.
The all black coated motor, which incidentally makes it very easy to clean in inclement weather, is mounted in a twin-spar steel-tubed frame with the weight sitting quite high. This actually has a benefit in that it makes the bike respond quite quickly when cornering by dropping easily into the bends.
Quite how well it would behave on the rough I don't know as the odd gravel unmade road was the limit of my test as there is now too much body work and panniers to risk damaging, especially as it now weighs in at 215kg.
Besides, the wheel sizes are now a 19 front and 17-inch rear and the tyres are the now accepted trail bike style compromise, so serious dirt going, should be avoided!
While on the subject, the panniers are now standard fare, as are the heated grips and hand guards, the latter two items being superb in inclement and cold weather. The offside pannier is limited thanks to the high level exhaust running behind, or should it be through it, but there is some useful space left.
The large tank helps deflect the wind blast around your legs and the small screen does a reasonable job at the front, although personally I would look for an aftermarket one that is a little wider and higher! Comfort levels though are good and the stepped seat will easily allow you to run the 200 plus miles range of the tank without any discomfort.
But, this is not just a long distance hauler it is actually quite a versatile machine. In town its tall seat height (also adjustable if it is not tall enough!) allows you to easily pick a path through the congestion, but if this is a regular journey, the panniers are best removed to slim things down a bit!
The excellent lock to lock and well balanced stance at walking pace makes threading through the commuting crocodile a doddle. However, the engine does get a little warm if you cannot keep the bike moving!
Head out to the twistier country lanes and the bike is quite good fun and can be hustled through the bends fast enough to put a big grin on your face. The suspension is relatively soft and wallowy, so if you push too hard it lets you know, but it is good enough for you to maintain a high average. There is preload and rebound adjustment on the rear if you want to try and dial the bike into your riding style so you can push a little harder.
The brakes are adequate and competent rather than exceptional and you do need to retune your brain to use four-finger braking, especially when fully loaded with a pillion. It is probably back to the idea that this is still a dual purpose bike and could end up over-braked on the rough if it had a system taken straight from a sports bike on the range.
There is certainly no deficiency in the lighting department and the twin headlights easily light every corner of unlit roads. This allows you to continue to your destination at a reasonable pace whatever the lighting conditions you encounter.
So taking all things into consideration, currently what Triumph have is an excellent all rounder that could easily be classed as a tourer as much as a Dual Purpose bike. It will deal easily with uneven road surfaces, or unmade roads as found on the Continent, but the Dakar is probably a non starter, as will this bike be if you are short on inside leg inches!
While some bikes in the same category like the BMW GS and KTM Adventure may score higher marks in some areas, the Tiger beats all-comers on price. In standard trim it costs just £6,999 which is nearly £2,000 under BMW 1200GS, which means you can spend money on a few tweaks before heading off around the world proudly flying the British flag!

K-League to relegate Phoenix at end of season
Sangju Sangmu Phoenix coach Park Hang-seo at a joint press conference for the eight lower-ranked K-League teams in Seoul, yesterday. [YONHAP]
Korea's professional football league has relegated the military-affiliated Sangju Sangmu Pheonix to the second division for next season for failing to meet international club standards, according to league officials yesterday.
With Sangju's demotion, only one of the eight teams in the bottom half of the league's split system will be demoted to the second-tier National League at the end of the season. Initially, two clubs with the worst records through the second half of the season were supposed to be relegated, but now Sangju will be regardless of the final standings.
The surprising decision came four days before the onset of the second half of the season, when Sangmu and seven other lower-ranked teams will start a 14-game campaign to avoid relegation. Sangmu finished the 30-match first half in 15th in the 16-team league with only seven victories.
The qualifications the league referred to in its rulings is the Asian Football Confederation regulation on club licensing that requires a club to be a "legal entity" ensuring "financial and sporting success in the league." There are also issues over contracts, as players do not sign with Sangmu, but play on the team while fulfilling mandatory military service.
"We can't leave a team unable to meet the qualifications for a professional club in the league," an official of the K-League told the Korea JoongAng Daily.
An official of the Phoenix said that it has promised the league that it will come up with a solution and has asked for more time to do so.
"We said that we will become a corporate entity no matter what but the league made such a decision unilaterally," the official said.
Yonhap News Agency reported yesterday that the team has threatened to boycott the rest of the season.
"The Armed Forces Athletic Corps and the Defense Ministry held talks today, and we've decided not to play the rest of the season," Yonhap quoted Lee Jae-cheol, the team's general manager, as saying.

Zombie Americans Sign Petition To Ban Petitions
by Ras Radio on November 25, 2013 at 12:48 pm
Activist prankster discovers irony free zone
Steve Watson
Americans in San Diego were recently captured on camera signing a petition to ban petitions, without understanding the irony, or even questioning what they were being asked to do.
Activist and cultural prankster Mark Dice highlights the ongoing zombification of the US public in his latest 'man on the street' video, once again proving that many people will just sign anything if it is shoved in front of them and accompanied by a monotone NPR-like voiceover.
"I don't know what these people think gives them the right to petition in a public place." Dice is seen saying to a passer-by in the video. "It's just uncalled for," the man replies, while eagerly signing the petition – the irony going straight over his head.
"These rude people just approaching strangers asking them to sign CRAZY petitions," Dice states as the man walks off saying "it's outrageous."
"There's people always asking people to sign petitions on the pier here, so this petition will ban petitions," Dice tells another signatory who states "it's the most logical petition I've ever heard of."
While laughing about the petition, and clearly unsure about the logistics of a petition to ban petitions, another girl puts her name to it anyway, while Dice essentially tells her there are people making spoof videos enticing unsuspecting passers-by to sign bogus petitions.
A couple of far eastern descent do not seem to understand what they are signing, asking "we are petitioning what for?", but go ahead regardless with Dice telling them it is "the final nail in the petition coffin."
"Petition, petition, petitions," is all another young man can muster out of his mouth as he blindly signs the farcical paper Dice hands him.
As Dice asks another woman to sign the petition, explaining that there are too many crazy petitions, she states "I don't mind," before admitting "oh yeah I sign a lot them."
A girl in a group states that she maybe would sign the petition should Dice not stand right in front of her aggressively waving the petition in her face – right as he explains that he is trying to ban petitioners aggressively petitioning people.
"I am one of those people, I'm one of those aggressive petitioners! I'm sorry." Dice states.
Only one person calls Dice out, saying "isn't that like an oxymoron?" and refusing to sign the petition, saying "it goes back to freedom of speech, bro."
In his ongoing exploration of the dumbing down of the population, Dice recently filmed himself garnering serious responses from Americans concerning their views on Al Qaeda building a base on the Moon, and Mount Rushmore being torn down to pay off government debt.
He has also regularly enticed people to sign petitions to implement a Nazi police state in America, to support repealing the Bill Of Rights, banning the First and Second Amendments, as well as throwing gun owners in prison, and enforcing mandatory euthanasia of elderly people.
Dice also recently gathered many signatures on a petition to grant President Obama complete immunity to commit any crimes he wishes while in office.


Sep 14 (Lagos) - Finance Minister Kemi Adeosun has resigned according to sources.
According to one source, the resignation followed the allegation of not serving the compulsory National Youth Service Corps, NYSC, and obtaining a certificate that the NYSC have disowned.
It is not yet clear who is handling the Ministry of Finance at the moment and who will be the next finance minister.
Her tenure was one of recession for the Nigerian economy and she should go out with her head held high as they did their best to prevent more decline in the Naira than the massive decline the economy suffered.

Roger Waters' The Wall: quite the spectacle
Looking back at last night's opening performance of the four-night run at Melbourne's Rod Laver Arena of The Wall, the stadium spectacular led by Pink Floyd great Roger Waters: what a triumph for staging.
Drawing heavily from both previous Floyd gigs and the movie of The Wall, there's an aeroplane and an inflatable pig, giant marionettes, fireworks and gunfire; a performance stage that extrudes from the main stage and a living room that extends from a wall. There's the trademark Pink Floyd circular screen above the stage, though the high tiers probably didn't see much of it past the massive speaker stacks suspended from the ceiling. Fortunately, it was only really in play during the first half. And of course, there's the wall itself: an extremely clever edifice stretching the width of the arena, constructed to full height — between 20 and 30 feet, I'd guess — during the first half, and then forming a backdrop during the second, until its eventual demise — almost an anticlimax, coming quite suddenly, as it does on the album, at the end of The Trial.
The wall, in all its stages of construction, acts as a massive screen for various film clips — some from the movie The Wall, most successfully perhaps the marching hammers — and effects, even a projection of various walls on the wall. A subway train is brilliantly detailed.
For 'Hey You', the opening song of the first half, there is only the wall: a gutsy bit of performance to have an entire song sung with no one on stage and fairly minimalist projections as well.
For 'Comfortably Numb', a real crowd favourite, Waters is alone in front of the wall, with a second singer doing some of the heavy vocal lifting from the top; he doesn't have a hell of a lot to do, Roger, standing out from his black-suited compatriots due to his white trainers for the duration of that tune. He came across as a man in need of a guitar. Which he gets, on and off, and very nice it is, too.
For 'Mother', Roger sang to the backdrop of himself singing the song during the original Wall tour some 30 years ago. The voice doesn't quite make some of those notes, but The Wall is theatrical enough to allow some licence. I do wonder how the mum sitting in the next row is going to explain that tune to her whippersnapper son; that or the big-screen naked boobs and crotch grabbing of 'Young Lust'; the animation of fornicating plants might've gone over the young'un's head this time around.
It really is a hell of a production, but the politics are a little dodgy. Trying to update the work, essentially a nightmarish autobiography about a wretched childhood, a dead solider father and the high cost of fame, into a plea for world peace feels like a stretch at times. Still, great art work; massive heart. 'Bring the Boys Back Home', indeed, but let's not oversimplify here. There was at least one casualty of 9/11 on the memorial wall screened during intermission; the solutions aren't as simple as we might like.
Still, I love the way that religions, warmongers and multicorporates are lumped into the same basket of Bad (a real game of pick your fascist!), although given I've just paid a hundred bucks to see it, there might be a degree of irony going begging there as Shell, Mercedes and McDonalds logos rain down amid dollar signs like 1000-pound bombs from hoopy Stratofortresses.
Highlights? Well, the album brims with them, but seeing the school kids on stage wagging their fingers at the giant school master is pretty cool; 'Run Like Hell' lifts the pace wonderfully. The sound is superb and the band and backing singers first-rate. Definitely worth a gander if you're lacking a little rock opera in your diet. Hell, you might even leave with a sudden urge to donate to a famine-relief charity or buy a poppy on Anzac Day. Assuming you don't already.
No support act, two halves of about an hour each, plus 20-minute intermission.
Meanwhile, here's one of my favourite songs from the album, 'Comfortably Numb', and a spine-tingling moment of reconciliation when Dave Gilmour joined Waters in London to play it. Tear down the wall!

Hi Jason.
Glad to have had you in attendance at the Wall, & regrets that, as ABP's Bébé Review editor, it was a case of no show.

You can find a lot of information via these particular information sources however, some of these are a lot better than others and following are the reasons why you can opt for various subscriptions to several appropriate technology magazines; on the other hand, it also has some demerits and this is that you will get updated only once a month and making it a best case scenario, it can be once a month. Taking into account the fastest and robust means technology is evolving in the present times, you could be losing out on a lot of important stuff and you will be getting informed a lot later as compared to most of the people around you.

Basics of Criminal Profiling – TV Drama vs Real-Life
Newspapers Vs Internet News


Purebred dogs are much more than a pretty face. It is the 'family tree' that determines what is inside the eye-catching exterior. The pedigree is a written record that shows at least 3 generations, often more, with correct names of all relatives. When purchasing a purebred dog, you should be supplied with this document. Some dogs should have the coveted Ch. or even GCh, before their name, and ideally, some dogs should be recognized top producers. Take some time to study and understand your dogs' pedigree.
If a dog is "repeated", i.e., appears more than once, pay particular attention and research that dog. If you haven't observed the dog in person, try to get a video. Photos are better than nothing but be aware that digital retouching is common today.
Parents and grandparents usually represent the most dominant genes in the pedigree but not necessarily. You need to know the phenotype and genotype of the first 6 dogs; sire, dam, and all four grandparents. Phenotype means the characteristics of a dog that are readily observable such as size, coat colour etc. Genotype means the hereditary makeup of a dog that cannot be seen and will only be expressed when bred to another purebred dog of the same breed.
The importance of having a knowledgeable AND objective mentor in a breed can't be stressed enough. Depending on which bloodline the pedigree represents, your mentor may be a bit biased. It's human nature. The important thing when selecting a mentor to help you sort out a particular pedigree is: Has your potential mentor actually seen the first 6 dogs in the pedigree and hopefully, some of the siblings?
Look for genetic evidence of thoughtful line-breeding on a particular dog within the third or fourth generation of the pedigree that you are literally buying into. If that dog produced consistently well, count him as being in the first or second generation because his genes are more concentrated and should therefore be more powerful. Line breeding dogs is a common and accepted practise amongst purebred dog breeders and involves the mating of closely related relatives other than mother/father or sister/brother. Example of line breeding: grandfather to granddaughter…perfectly acceptable in the dog world.

Does 'The Last Key' Close The Door on The 'Insidious' Franchise?
09 Tuesday Jan 2018
Posted by terrencetodd in Black Eye, CityPaper Archives
Angus Sampson, Insidious: The Last Key, James Wan, Leigh Whannell, Lin Shaye
The fight against the paranormal gets personal
By T.T. Stern-Enzi
Creators of hit franchises never know, at the very beginning, what elements will work, so decisions are made that sometimes can't be altered without complex tinkering that defies the internal logic and mythology they are attempting to bake into their narrative worlds. When working in the realm of the supernatural though, such outrageous solutions can be forgiven, especially if audiences really want to believe, and certain characters make belief something like an article of faith.
Take, for instance, Dr. Elise Rainier (Lin Shaye), the parapsychologist who works exclusively with her own dynamic duo – Specs (Leigh Whannell) and Tucker (Angus Sampson) – to protect those under siege by powerful and unseen forces. The first two installments in the "Insidious" dreamscape, directed by the new millennial horror maestro James Wan, focused on the efforts of Josh Lambert (Patrick Wilson) and his wife Renai (Rose Byrne) to protect their comatose son Dalton (Ty Simpkins) from a spirit seeking to break free from The Further. When exorcism proves ineffective, the family reaches out to Rainier and her team, leading to a wild journey into the past.
Children in danger, possessed parents, and worlds within worlds where time and space lose definition would lead most to believe that there would be more than enough to sustain an ongoing saga. Somehow the "Paranormal Activities" franchise was able to do so with far less meat on its bones, right?
What "Insidious" has, in spades though, is Rainier, a loveable figure who never comes across as a traditional, infallible expert with all the answers. She's not some kind of action hero capable of punching evil in the face or blowing it up. Rainier, Specs, and Tucker are both earnest do-gooders and comic bumblers with only the best intentions. And screenwriter Whannell chooses to have Rainier make the ultimate sacrifice to save the Lamberts. Of course, fans of the series had fallen hard for the paranormal team, so the only choice was to venture into prequels featuring the now departed Rainier, granting us a look at how she came to use her psychic gifts. Whannell took the helm this time, with Wan shifting into the "Fast & Furious" lane.
With the arrival of a fourth movie, a new director (Adam Robitel) grabs the reins as writer Whannell delves deeper into the Rainier backstory, going all the way back to her traumatic childhood. Continuing to occupy a past that hasn't led into the inevitable collision course with the Lambert family, Rainier gets called to investigate strange goings on at her own family home. The narrative blends supernatural horrors, which are genre staples, with truly insidious real-life evil that offers insidious reflections on our current world.
Whannell pens a story about abusive men, as well as a variety of people who seem to know or have some idea of these reprehensible acts, but who refuse to act on their knowledge, thus trapping victims in a neverending cycle.
"The Last Key" directly addresses the ability of the supernatural big baddie who has key-like fingers, which lock away the voices of victims. The image is frightening enough on a visceral and visual level (proving to be the perfect trailer sequence to lure audiences in), but it works even more effectively as a metaphor, because it encapsulates how powerful such silencing can be.
And within this critical framework, "The Last Key" gains increased cultural cache by granting Rainier the ability to confront her own dark past. She must stare down the evil of her father (Josh Stewart), as he abuses both her mother and her, and face her own culpability in his reign of terror over a host of female victims he kidnapped and tortured to death.
The gift/curse of psychic sight has been passed down from Rainier to one of her nieces, setting up a chance for generational redemption. Fortunately, the narrative doesn't strand its male cohorts. Specs and Tucker get to play roles in the fight, showcasing a means for intersectional partnerships to make a difference.
It should be noted that "The Last Key" is not actively seeking to venture into such overtly political territory. The movie simply functions this way due to the accident of its release during this particular moment, but this reading affords the film a strong and engaging second life for curious audiences.
Yet, a bigger overall question looms for the series. "Insidious" has now reached a point where it has seemingly backed into its closed loop. So much of the success of the franchise has been built around Rainier, Specs, and Tucker, audiences will wonder what happens when you can't keep staving off the inevitability of Rainier's fate. Maybe it's time to find another set of keys to alternative doors, because the faithful might not be ready say goodbye.

The lifeboat was launched to undertake a search after a surf board was found on the shoreline by a member of the public near the Fife Coastal Path at Starleyburn.
A shoreline search was undertaken between Burntisland and Braefoot bay, returning to Kirkcaldy approximately 0.25 miles offshore.
A second surfboard was found at Ross Point by the crew. It was soon established by the Coastguard that both boards had been set adrift and that no-one was in difficulty.

Unobtrusive high-capacity cabling offers households and businesses new possibilities in entertainment system distribution and control, with high-resolution television, DVD and hifi audio available on demand in every room if required.
Aberdeen Technical Systems recently designed and installed an integrated, centralised TV/audio entertainment and CCTV system in a large luxury family home in Aberdeen.
The family wanted to network nine remotely-controlled, wall-mounted televisions, with double Sky+ and terrestrial channels, together with ceiling-mounted audio speakers, Blu-ray DVD, sound system, PlayStation and CCTV security video.
We designed and installed a centralised control matrix, using Cat6e cables with HDMI converters to give full HDMI picture quality in every location and using CT100 cables for terrestrial signals. Sky+ and other control boxes were also built-in and concealed.
The family now enjoys high-quality television, audio and DVD entertainment distributed throughout the home, with a centralised control installation which can be conveniently accessed for easy maintenance and future upgrading.


One fun thing to do with them is taking them out on the lake when it is actually choppy and windy because then you could go flying off, or get sprayed with a fair bit of water. Well, when my papa was out on the lake with the watercraft, my good friend as well as I were passing away to obtain out and fish in our "honey hole" (place where we understood we would certainly apprehend fish) so we can have our own selves a fish fry. We determined the only means to do this was to get on the two seater water craft with our poles in hand and also capture our own selves some dinner.
Once we obtained there, my buddy on the back reversed to face the other means as well as we began to cast for our supper. All we discussed was just how starving we were and how outstanding it would be to apprehend a fish off of a jet ski. When we will evacuate as well as head home, I got a bite and immediately establish the hook. A fish was on the line!! It was the best feeling worldwide, up until I reeled it around the water craft. My buddy and also I considered each various other in panic considering that it was a great dimension Northern as well as we needed to rapidly find out exactly how to obtain it from the water without an internet. Now this was not your typical brand-new steady jet ski. This was an older version that was a lot a lot more tipsy when a person leaned a particular way. I saw to it to tire the fish out a bit and also when it came back around the jet ski, my friend gradually leaned to get hold of the line as well as pull it up for me.
We were overjoyed! I tossed it in the front compartment of the jet ski as well as we took it home to fry it up. It was such an enjoyable and funny experience, trying to cast as well as maintain our balance while the two of us rested on a little water craft however it was certainly a memory I will never forget.

Posted in My Writing By RossPosted on August 4, 2021 August 4, 2021
There is a saying that the people get the leaders that they deserve. We have an ANC government with a minority opposition. There is huge corruption in this government, and ineptness followed by giving BEE deals to family members, friends and other bigwigs within the ruling party. Now South Africa is not alone in having corruption, our neighbour to the North has had such corruption and evil perpetrated by dictatorship that it's more like a large criminal gang than a supposedly legitimate government. South Africa has had to watch and bear witness to state capture under an ex president who has a criminal conviction for refusing to appear before a legally convened tribunal and is still waiting prosecution under a huge array of charges which has been many years in the making and we have not yet seen justice.
Justice is incredibly important, not just because it reflects law and order and the fairness of the legal system but it also reflects that those who abuse power, steal, destroy and poison institutions will be caught and dealt with. It gives hope to the people that the people elected may actually be held accountable at least for some of their many illegitimate transgressions. If there is no justice and the high level and influential perpetrators are not brought to book, then the complete distrust of government already at a record low will only increase and mob vigilantism will only increase as people know that the crooks in power are immune. It also serves as a warning to those committing the theft and skulduggery that the people will hold them accountable for the theft and corruption and destruction through ineptitude and corruption, cronyism of institutions like Eskom and other state parastatals. At present political parties on the very extreme ends of the spectrum have not been dealt when they have made clearly racist comments, incited violence and other acts not befitting their status as supposed leaders of the country. The worst thing is that the media gives them coverage causing what should be extreme fringe groups to grow dramatically in stature and influence. Social media of course is also partly to blame for this.
If the saying that a people gets the government that they deserve is true then we really need to take a long hard look at how we view politicians and their plethora of lies and utter nonsense spouted to try and garner votes. We need to remember all the drivel and propaganda spouted by these same individuals and parties and see the inconsistency between empty words and false promises and the reality on the ground. Imagine that each political had to sign a legally binding manifesto of their claims and 'promises' and that if they do not meet them, they are forced to resign from government and or their respective political parties and are no longer eligible for any position in government. There would be a fact checking team linked to the IEC and any false claims about rivals would be publicly rectified by the IEC and the politician who stated the falsehood would need to publicly acknowledge this. Also, allow only one term as president. You have four years to make a difference, not eight years to develop your state capture mechanism and implement it before your relieved of power. Lastly have an independent tribunal consisting of ordinary honest folk who have the capacity to hold the government accountable and freeze any legislation or actions which are contrary to the public interest. Just one of millions of possible examples here would be SAA. The airline that has cost many billions of Rand and should have been allowed to go bust well over a decade ago without using our precious resources again to bail out state owned and senior government officials and their cronys who have stolen funds from and destroyed what was once a profitable airline. Hectic you may think and perhaps it is but with a landscape of crooks calling themselves politicians and officials that are out to fill their pockets, perhaps that's exactly what we need. Imagine, there would suddenly be far less claims and promises made and the crooks (I mean politicians} would be held accountable for their claims.
How incredibly refreshing, politicians being held accountable and government becoming far more productive. I'm not saying they would be 'honest politicians' thats way too far a stretch but we could say politicians being forced to have some honesty in their dealing with the electorate. Food for thought.
It must be a bad dream
