Opinion: To drink a Coke or not to drink a Coke, that is the question…
Today the reactions to the new voter laws in the State of Georgia is happening. Rightfully so. It is a need to address and take account of the awful and disenfranchising electoral laws the Republican Party have signed into law. The act of Governor Brian Kemp and his fellow Republican Representatives. They have all deliberately done this and with intent of making it harder for fellow citizens to cast their ballot and vote. That is for the simple reason. The less voters means more likely a Republican majority. Therefore, it is winning strategy to make it harder for the general public to vote.
Now… what is tragic about the politics in America at the moment. Is that instead of looking at the initial issue. The progressive and the ones who wants voters to show up is going up against the businesses in Atlanta, Georgia. The ones who has a base there and the ones who funnel money through the political system. A system that the Democratic Party and the Republican Party is fine with in the days of sunshine, but speaks ill of in the days of rain.
This week has been a storm and been heavy rain. The raindrops are clearly hitting hard and not so easily to get to the storm-drain. Nevertheless, the ideals should be to revise the system. Get new legislation to counter this one or repeal the acts that disenfranchise voters in Georgia. That should be the focus. The focus should be on the ideals and integrity of the ballot, which John Lewis stood for and fought for all his life.
Not battle the beverages industry and one of its giants Coca-Cola Company. Yes, the giant international beverage company has its sins to answer for. They have their ills and its profit motive at any given time. However, it isn't the bottles of Coke fault for the voters law. Neither is it in the interest of a bottling and beverages company to stop people from voting. Their best interests is to get people hooked on their drink and purchase more of bottles next time they pass by a Wall-Mart.
That is why politics in the United States have gone bonkers. Yes, the politicians are screwed by lobbyist and secretive PAC-Money, which funds their massive and expensive campaigns. Still, in the middle of that. That doesn't mean they are responsible for the ills and evil, which occurs now and then. Right now that's all on Governor Kemp and his Republican comrades.
A bottle of Coke will not solve this. Neither will a bottle of Pepsi. Heck, no sort of drink will juice up the veins of democracy. Not the Speakeasies or the roaring 1920s will make fudge about it either. Coca-Cola isn't the company to solve or in the dominion to do so. Yes, they can stop giving money to the Republican Party, but that they will only cease for a hot-minute and return when they need favourable legislation. As long as the dark-money and PAC money can fund politicians. The companies will return and secure results on their "investments".
The activists shouldn't go for a boycott and stop drinking Coke. That is a short-term and a losing strategy. Who will win? The one with billions in the bank and can sustain a hit or the few consumers with a moral obligation? I think the guy with the biggest bank and there are so many who don't care. Those folks will drink Coke regardless.
That is why, the ones who wants change and make a difference. Call the legislators. Email them like crazy. Make their team and staff go nuts over all the feedback. Make the legislators of State of Georgia packed with messages, faxes or whatever they get memo home. That what they was wrong and they need to revise it.
The GOP and the Governor will not care if you stop drinking Coke. They will not give a damn. You are the ones who losing your beverage. It is not difference then when Republican activists burns their Nike's or destroyed their coffee-maker. In some ways … its the same thing and neither was winning.
The activists and the ones calling for this. Better think ahead. The Democrats who are fearing for the ballots and voters of Georgia. Better do "Good Trouble". What they are doing is symbolic hogwash. This is changing their Tinder Profile and thinking their soulmate will love that you were drinking Pepsi instead of Coke. Sorry brother, but that's not it and that wasn't the reason why the person swiped your way.
Let's be clear. You can stop drinking coke, but that will not save democracy. You can boycott Coke, but that not resolve the issues either. What you can do and what you should do. Is to show civil disobedience and call for changes in legislation. Both in Georgia and in the Federal Law. So, that dark-money cannot run rampant behind closed chambers and decide what lawmakers do. Secondly, you can pressure state legislatures to actually vote for laws that makes it easier to vote and not what they did this week. That is what you should do. Not stop sipping Coke.
That means visible protests in the streets. Sponsoring billboards, sending letters, emails and other texts to legislators and by all means be vocal about the cause. Nevertheless, the idea of stopping to drink a beverage. Well… that is futile and not doing anyone any damage. Coke will not be hurt and their bottom-line will not even feel the sting.
It is a time for everything, but boycotting Coke over voting legislation is redundant and a foolish enterprise. Especially, when there are so many other avenues where the ones in power would fear you and would feel your presence. They are not fearing what your drinking in your living-room and at your kitchen. No, they are fearing your feet stomping in the streets and your voices cracking close to their chambers of power. That is why they take away your access to vote in the first place. Peace.

State of Georgia: Governor Kemp disfranchise own citizens with new election law
"My dear friends: Your vote is precious, almost sacred. It is the most powerful nonviolent tool we have to create a more perfect union." – John Lewis (2012 speech in Charlotte, North Carolina)
Republican Governor Brian Kemp. The State of Georgia Governor since 2018. He was the Secretary of State before running for Governor for the Republican Party. In the role as Secretary of State. He was indirectly co-ordinating the polls and the elections of his own candidacy. That is the sort of man Kemp is.
Therefore, after losing both Senate seats in the recent elections in January 2021. It was inevitable for the Republican Party in Georgia to change the rules ahead of the next election. The Republicans have no senator from Georgia. The State of Georgia have turned more and more blue. That has hurt the pride of the GOP and they need to do something.
Am I surprised by this? No, was this shocking? Hell no. The Republican Party and their allies are gerrymandering like insane if they are allowed. The GOP will do whatever they can to bar people from voting. Especially if these parts of the community is most likely voting for other parties. The GOP will do what they can to make it harder to vote or make it such a hassle. If the GOP get lower voter-turn-out. That is a win for them and they will most likely get their representative in.
That's why its not insane that its happens. Especially, when the Democratic Party was able to flip Georgia and get both Senators. What is striking is that they are doing it in Georgia. Where the late Representative John Lewis came from and fought all his life for a revised Voting Rights Act.. In a manner, which would strengthen the rights and ease the boundaries for the voters to actually vote. The opposite of what Kemp has done lately.
If Kemp and other guys would honour the legacy of John Lewis. They would have made it easier to vote and also create more civic education on the value of doing so. Instead, they are pissing on his legacy and shitting on his grave. They are doing the opposite of what Lewis fought for. Just because the likes of Stacey Abrahams is able to get the public behind her and get new voters in.
We know that is the reason for this. State of Georgia is a place where the Republican's doesn't value the vote. Heck, they don't want the vote or voters. They rather see less people show-up and they are automatically getting their folks elected. Because, the majority will struggle to vote. Standing in lines for hours and not easing restrictions for the ballots. If these Republicans believed in the ballot and voting in general. They would have opened the gates, but instead they are sealing of the doors and hoping nobody is looking.
What is also is seeing how easily someone of the stature of Lewis can be forgotten this quickly. How the State Representatives rather safe-guard their own offices, then actually believing in what Lewis fought for. That shows so perfectly well by all the new procedures for the next election. Which is the incumbents and the ability for the Republicans to still get a majority. This is why they did this.
The GOP in Georgia didn't do this because they cares for democracy or everyone's right to participate in elections. No, they are doing this to make it harder to vote. It is easier to buy a gun or do other things than voting in the state. That is because, one thing is a priority and the other is an issue, which the ones in power don't want you to have. If they didn't fear the ballot and the power of it. They wouldn't have made it so hard to cast it.
Brian Kemp and his likes fear the public. Kemp and his allies are worried about their sentiment and their will. If he was loved by them and had their support. He wouldn't have signed these things into law. However, he has done so to hopefully save his own office. That is the mere reality here. Because, the Governor cannot run the election like he did in 2018.
What is the saddest thing. It is happening in the state of the great late Representative Lewis who stood for the stark opposite and went into "good trouble" fighting for it. However, that fight has to continue, because the ones in power now. Clearly doesn't value the integrity or the trust of the public in regards to Democracy. Because, if they cared that… they wouldn't have done this and made this happen. Peace.

State of Georgia: The Senate seats goes to the Democrats
The Special Elections in 2021 have gone to the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party candidates Reverend Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff. These two beat the Republican candidates. What is striking about these two candidates. They have not only won the seats, but they have flipped the Senate. That is a big deal so in 2021 the Biden administration have the House, Senate and the Presidency. Therefore, the Republican Party cannot block nominations or laws through before the midterms at earliest.
What I enjoy about this is that these two are connected to the late John Lewis. Warnock was the pastor of Lewis and Ossoff was a previous intern of the late Georgian Congressman. That is really great to see the folks around the civil rights hero is still roaming in the August house of Washington D.C.
In previous elections the voter suppression and rigging has ensured the Republican majority in Georgia. Brian Kemp for instance is the governor of Georgia was running his own government and securing his own election as the Secretary of State. Therefore, the state has been before a hot-seat for electoral nonsense. However, in this special election it has been all genuine and the same happened in November 2020 run-off as well. Since there is no proof and you don't have a Kemp who is siding with himself.
Stacey Abrahams, the person who was tricked and rigged out of the election in 2018. Has now shown her leadership has values. She has the capacity to get new voters and bring attention to the Democratic Party cause in Georgia. Stacey is the other hero in Georgia. Abrahams should get credit for the turn of events. Where there has been a massive shift and she has been able to gain more voters. Getting the people mobilized to vote in districts and such. That wouldn't have happen at the same level if she didn't do what she did. Therefore, Abrahams needs her credit here.
Today is a good day, but now the work starting. Now the democrats can control all chambers and rehash the state of America. They can if they want to change the laws and make it better. After 4 years of Trumpism and Corporate Socialism. The Democrats can actually make a difference and be there for the citizens. They can also have a substantial and enforce proper foreign policies. Not only do things because donors or American businesses will profit for it. Therefore, the State of Georgia election can have ripple effect. That is if they use it properly.
Hopefully, these Senators have been inspired by John Lewis and will continue his work. Also continue on the positive progression that they have had during the campaigns. These folks also won because Trump himself wasted an opportunity and have targeted the state in a selfish angle. An angle where he wanted to overturn certified Presidential Election of 2020. So, that he could win and also get Republican's not to trust the process. Therefore, they have gone against themselves, which is really unique and that did backfire.
State of Georgia have delivered. Hopefully these two Senators can make a vast difference. They can challenge and represent the goodness of the New South. They can resist the corporate democrats and be progressive. That is what we can hope for. That's what the likes of me hopes for.
Georgia should be proud. They have done something amazing and nobody can take that away from them. Acknowledge the ones turning a state blue from red. That is something great. Peace.

State of Georgia: Kemp resigns, but after claiming victory!
Not strange that State Secretary and responsible for the election won the Governor race in the State of Georgia. The wolf shouldn't look over the hen-house. There are already reports that Brian Kemp barred and voter suppressed 700,000 voters, plus of all the technical difficulties, the lack of ballots and all the brazen disregard for the voters in vital districts in the state. This just shows what sort of man Kemp is.
That Stacey Abrams had not a chance, she was a pawn in the game of Kemp. That is why he resigned today. While Abrams doesn't accept to loose this one. That is not strange, as the wolf has used all tricks to win. If he feels this is how he needs to win, he really is a despicable man, who doesn't even respect the people he supposed to govern.
He will be hated thief in power. A man who had to cheat, trick and run the elections to be able to be a viable candidate. Kemp couldn't even win a fair fight, he couldn't even be a gentleman and let someone else run this election. But he knew that if he didn't use his office and his position. He would never become Governor of Georgia.
This is Banana Republic class, as he resigns today with a letter to Nathan Deal. This was to establish to the public, that he was switching offices. Because he is blatantly a special candidate, because this what is known by the Secretary of State in Georgia:
"The Office of the Secretary of State coordinates and monitors all election activity: this includes voter registration; municipal, state, county, and federal elections; campaign finance disclosure for state and federal candidates and political action committees; and certification of election results. The Georgia State Capitol office also is responsible for certifying the qualification of candidates and the preparation of ballots and election forms and materials. As a result of legislation passed by the Georgia General Assembly in 2001, the office is responsible for removing the names of deceased electors from the voter registration lists statewide. The secretary chairs the State Election Board, which investigates election fraud and enforces state election law. As part of an effort to modernize state election procedures, the Twenty-first Century Voting Commission and the secretary of state's office worked to establish a statewide uniform election system, which was implemented for the first time in November 2002" (Ballotpedia – 'Georgia Secretary of State').
Here is my problem with Kemp, he has problematic statements and acts during the campaign as a candidate. But to top that off, he decided who was on the voter lists and who was accepted as candidates, while he was running. He monitored the whole election activity, while he was a candidate himself, he ensured to see all finance disclosures and also the one who was in-charge of certifying election results. Therefore, he could ensure and did so, with purging election lists, he secured lacking material and lacking machines to work in vital districts in the State.
That is why, he should have resigned long before running as candidate. It should be illegal for a whole a wolf to run the hen-house. He will take the hens when nobody is watching and that is what Kemp has done. It is hard to believe that these results are eligible or legit. As Kemp has done his part behind the scenes and on stage. He has taken the gubernatorial seat, this he has done with unfair ways.
No one should ever run the elections and be a candidate at the same time. The same office that is running elections, should not proclaim someone from their winning. Not if it is free and fair elections. If they want to be a Banana Republic. Than, continue with this charade, but everyone should know that this is nonsense.
Kemp is to late to resign today. He should have done it a long time ago. Before being allowed to run as a candidate. He shouldn't have run the shop and be the one running at the same time. Sorry, that is not how the world supposed to work. Even if Life of Brian thinks so. Peace.

State of Georgia: Where one man was a Candidate and tally General at the same time!
You know something is off, when the same guy running for governor, also have the power and administer the polls itself. This was Brian Kemp of the Georgia State, who happen to run on the ballot and administer the polls and counting of the polls. If you thought they would be fair or free, think again.
This is state was a Banana Republic yesterday, where people was purged of the voter rolls, where the lack of equipment and disenfranchised voters by the dozens. If I were Brian Kemp, I would have stepped down a long time ago as the state official of the Midterm Elections. As the double play and double role played to his advantage. No matter who had gone against him, he would have put up the guards and ensured victory.
That the Secretary of State Kemp ensured this and made the polls has be a deliberate act. As the state delivered to several poll stations late ballots, other machines with no cords and so on. With this sort of actions. You just know that the game been rigged. There is no joke, there is no laugh, this is the reason why you need foreign Election Observer Missions from EU/AU/ASEAN,USAN and Commonwealth. To secure the legitimacy and also if the elections is credible.
The first stop, should be that the man who is in-charge of the elections shouldn't be allowed to run in the polls. It doesn't matter, which party the man represents or align with. It is matter of principals and ethical values. That should matter, if you want to show progress and be a democracy.
This here could be taken out of any questionable election within the last 5 years on other continents, where the Electoral Commission has rigged in favour of the ruling party and made ways to ensure their candidates victory. There is no difference on George State and several banana republic abroad.
Let me say it again, it wouldn't matter if Mother Theresa, Mahatma Ghandi or Jesus incarnated raced against Kemp in Georgia, yesterday. Because, he could sway, gerrymandering and secure the ballots in his favour. By securing the lack of polling stations is certain districts and also ensure that his base was covered. That is clearly the memo from yesterday too. As there was enough signs of foul play to be heard off.
I wish it was differently and a fair fight, but when your racing against the guy, whose running the show. It is bound to fail. Peace.

Dropping some side-notes on the 15 Years Anniversary of T.I.'s Trap Muzik!
"Listen pops
Want to know a little more about rap?
First rule if it's real
It ain't just a record deal
It's a trap" – T.I. – Trap Muzik (2003),
Today, its 15 years ago since the T.I. or Clifford Harris second album was released. That was on the date of 19th August 2003. This was the first album I heard from the rapper and lyricist. Before this, he had dropped an album on Arista, "I'm Serious" but that hadn't been successful. This was the launch of his career and also, where people got to now of the Trap and the Grand Hustle. That was after he had a series of Mixtapes, which gave way to this album.
This was the album that really opened my eyes for him as an artist. I will take some of the notable lyrics from the album. As there was some bars, that if you haven't heard is worth to remember. As the statement it made when it was released.
"It's a war going on and they killing for nothing
We were in denial all awhile they where flicking the buttons
I'd rather be dying for something instead of living for nothing
End of discussion" – T.I. – No More Talk (2003).
If that isn't social commentary and worthy of a shout out nothing is. This is a proof, that the 22 year old rapper, even back then wrote social commentary and about the struggles of the community. Not just slanging dope over banging beats.
"And the cars been parked but the rims keep moving
Sign pictures, buy an onion of good and throw the deuces
Cause I ain't Hollywood, I come from the hood, I'm used to it" – T.I. – 24's (2003).
If you ever heard a banging video game song for a car game. This song, the 24's was made for that. The first car riding song. An it was a hit. This one really introduced to plenty a rims and the spinners. Not all of us knew about that cultural aspect from the Southern part of the United States.
""But why the rubber band?"
It representing the struggle man!" – T.I. – Rubberband Man (2003).
This single was the one that first got played on the music TV channels that I picked up. You really felt the beat and at the same time. I got to know David Banner. Therefore, this track alone. Has shown both of them to me. This was really the jam from the album.
"I'm the king cause I said it and I mean that shit" – T.I. – Kingofdasouth (2003).
This song and the title of calling himself the King of the South. Which created lots of beef, one that spawn off with Lil Flip. Someone will remember that, someone will not. This was before the mixtape of Down with the King and the "Welcome Back" one. But that one is whole another story.
Now, I have taken my favorite bars and also briefly commented on this album from one of my favorite artists. T.I. or T.I.P. who is still relevant. It is strange to think that its already 15 years since this was released. Peace.

U.S. House of Rep. Smith's got the Honest ACT passed, that regulates EPA opportunity to spread information!
"The point of modern propaganda isn't only to misinform or push an agenda. It is to exhaust your critical thinking, to annihilate truth." – Garry Kasparov
Welcome to the Banana Republic, the United States of America (USA), the Trump Administration has a new golden child and has to stop the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), that has to be silenced. The EPA under Scott Pruitt. The Environment and Climate Change is lie under the Trump regime, that is myth that the environment gets destroyed or worsen by industry or mineral extraction. Still, they have to make sure that the EPA doesn't explain the environmental regulations without any scientific evidence. It has to be tested and retested the narratives, as the EPA should not question the need for free release of CO2 or any other damaging gas that can worsen the sky, or the after effects of crude-oil pipelines and the damage of soil in the areas after fracking.
Well, take a look at the Lamar Smith proposal that get through and passed in the U.S. House of Representatives yesterday:
"To prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency from proposing, finalizing, or disseminating regulations or assessments based upon science that is not transparent or reproducible" (…) "The Administrator shall not propose, finalize, or disseminate a covered action unless all scientific and technical information relied on to support such covered action is" (…) "publicly available online in a manner that is sufficient for independent analysis and substantial reproduction of research results, except that any personally identifiable information, trade secrets, or commercial or financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential, shall be redacted prior to public availability" (H.R. 1430, 2017).
Representative Lamar Smith the man behind the bill, who has a magical fascination with silencing and stopping the EPA, as he is from San Antonio, Texas and Republican, surely if somebody would have remembered what sort of greatness, he showed in February:
"On Tuesday, Smith held a hearing titled "Making the E.P.A. Great Again." From the list of witnesses, it was clear that Smith was not, however, interested in improving the E.P.A.—in fact, just the reverse. One of the witnesses was a lobbyist for the coal industry, another a lobbyist for the chemical industry. In a display of hypocrisy so blatant it could have been hilarious, but wasn't, Smith used his opening statement to rail against "conflicts of interest" at the E.P.A. The agency, he complained, depended on the expertise of scientists to whom it sometimes also awards research grants. His proposed solution to this problem? To stack the E.P.A.'s science advisory board with scientists who work for regulated industries" (Kolbert, 2017).
So Rep. Smith has no issues listening to the Coal, Chemical and Oil industry, if it benefits them at a U.S. House hearing on making EPA great again, like the ones who wants to pollute and drop hazard into the environment for a buck is the ones to listen to. Shows the lack of thinking and integrity that is in the Washington D.C. right now and is accepted by the Trump Administration. Where the businesses are more important nature and the future, where the kids of Trump has to live in wasteland and in narrow future of damaged rivers, creeks and polluted air.
The donors for the 2015-2016 Campaign for the U.S. House Representative for Texas and parts of Committee for Science, Space and Technology, those we're $95,050 from Oil and Gas, either as PACs or individuals, other important donors for the campaign of Smith we're Nustar Energy, AT&T, Boeing Co., Koch Industries and Marathon Petroleum (Check Opensecrets.org).
So, the man who has massive support for his elections and campaigns was supported through business who needs to extract their resources and has to pollute to do so. It could seem that they scratched an itch for the Representative and when he was elected he scratched an itch for them. Instead of direct brown envelopes directly into the pocket of the representative, they paid for his campaign and his viable campaign in Texas.
Now that he has a place on the Committee for Science, Space and Technology, there he can change legislation that fits Nustar, AT&T, Boeing Co., Koch Industries and Marathon Petroleum, as they will not have any sort of information that cannot be verified by generous study. They have been silenced and cannot question climate change or even the implication of pollution or environmental damages by industry, as the Honest ACT, who is made to stop certain information from getting into public.
So it it good to know that the EPA sentiment is old:
"But I don't know whether Americans want the EPA and Congress to be honest. You say, "What do you mean, Williams?" There are numerous laws, restrictions and regulations based upon the EPA's fraudulent report on secondhand tobacco smoke. How many Americans do you think would say, "Hey, now that we know that EPA 1992 report was a fraud, let's repeal all those laws and regulations based upon it"? I'm guessing most would say, "I don't like the smell of cigarettes and if it takes government fraud and duping the public to get rid of it, so be it." (Williams, 1999).
So there are surely many who has hard feelings against the EPA and their practices, but they should still wonder if it is wise to stop the EPA. They might get wealth to buy cars, but nature is not something that returns after you have used it and extracted the minerals. There are so many places destroyed by industry and not habitable, so much touched nature that will not come back after oil industry and other industry has used their tools. Together with the knowledge of pollution, there are invisible particles that might hurt mother nature on the long run, but that doesn't Scott Pruitt, Donald Trump or Lamar Smith. Peace.

"It's really sad that we're in an environment where tax returns are leaked by whoever it may be" (…) "Just think about it. Think about how dangerous that is, how third world that is on a practice that happened. When personal information is put out by people for political agendas. As a civilian, it's actually scary" – Eric Trump on Fox News (Tani, 2017).
It is just one of these days where the sons of President Donald Trump speaks their mind and hits the nail. The nail is in the coffin, with the knowledge of the plans to make the republic less attractive, less business-friendly, more lassiez-faire and more focused on army than on progressive financial instruments and regulation to create growth. Trump Administration is busy with deporting millions, building a wall and starting trade-wars. The U.S. Government does not need to be transparent or accountable while doing so. Especially, not in the minds of one of his sons. That claims something unique and special. I have claimed in the near past that under President Trump, the U.S. Government could turn the Republic into a Banana Republic, a sort of style government that could be described by others as a third world one. Therefore, let the dictionary explain that!
Eric Trump needs a definition of the Third World:
"1: a group of nations especially in Africa and Asia not aligned with either the Communist or the non-Communist blocs" (…) "2: an aggregate of minority groups within a larger predominant culture" (…) "3: the aggregate of the underdeveloped nations of the world" (Merriam-Webster).
So the United States can itself soon be fitted, not that it is an Asian or African nation, neither Communist, but still it is getting underdeveloped by the way the financial framework and industry is set-up under the Trump Administration. Where the Industry and Financial industry has the Administration by the balls and no eager of taking care of nature or the resources, except for eating the profits without giving anything back to the Republic. Just like the Oil Industry in Nigeria or in Ghana. The same as the mining and mineral industry in the Democratic Republic of Congo. So the United States under President Trump, will be similar. Eric Trump is not so far off, just not the way he thought he would be.
Another man's vision:
"This brings about complete dysfunction. It makes everything — economy, politics, roads, bridges, police, school — broken and shitty. Those who can leave do. Making it worse. This leads to more extremism, and more corruption, and more cynicism. And sometimes extreme violence. Because the other side becomes evil" (…) "The US has been shifting towards all four of these over the last 30 years, with inequality leading the way. We are more divided, economically and socially, then we have ever been (we are less divided racially. But only marginally so.)" (Arnade, 2016).
So when you have a system on the brink of collapse, a wealthy elite eating of the government plate and settling score to not pay their bills to the public, while the citizens and middle-class cannot build a steady life or afforded needed services, you know there are something wrong with the system and the state. That makes the Eric Trump words so right, that United States is becoming more like a third world country, with a sophisticated army, but cannot afford health care, schools or infrastructure. Just like the countries President Trump doesn't want to affiliate with or been seen with. Since him and his advisor Bannon are supposed to be superior, and like a dictator in a Third World country, he believes he is always right and isn't wrong.
So one smudge of evidence of his fathers Tax Returns from 2005 leaked to MSNBC Rachel Maddow, proves the realization of the state, that the Trump Administration would dislike. As they are not capping the debt, neither taking into account their ideas of taxation and tax-releases, as much as their will to deregularte industry and financial institutions. Therefore, leading the space of more expenses and negative environmental policies, that damage earth and only gains profit for a slim elite. Just like a Third World Country.
This is degrading for the United States, but the harsh truth, the ideas and policies in the making, the killing of health insurance, the idea of building the giant nuclear silos, while not paying for food for the starving. Proves that the U.S. Government are no closer to countries it does not want to be affiliated with, but still can be consider to be assimilated with. President Trump and his administration is clearly not wishing to be differing from chauvinistically taking charge and not caring what effect it has. Clearly, it is only his image that matter, just like any big-man and authoritarian leader.
So, soon we can say that the United States is underdeveloped and need aid, as their waters are daft, the industry is lacking technology, the roads are more potholes than tarmac, the bridges are weak, their railways not working and often not trusted. The United States has soon more expensive foreign imported goods, than what they produce and is losing money on their export of cash crops as soya and other grain. Therefore, President Trump leading his Republic to become underdeveloped or become a Third World Country.

More layoffs at parts plants as GM, UAW strategize how to defeat strike
By Tom Hall
More parts suppliers announced furloughs today as the strike at General Motors continues into its second week.
Hundreds of workers have been furloughed at Nexteer Automotive in Saginaw, Michigan and at Android Industries plants that supply GM assembly plants in Bowling Green, Kentucky; Arlington, Texas and Flint, Michigan.
There have been 4,600 layoffs in Canada alone due to the strike, according to the Financial Post, a demonstration of the global integration of the auto industry's supply chains. This includes more than 2,000 workers at the Oshawa Assembly plant on Ontario, which relies on parts produced in the United States. The plant was one of five North American facilities slated for closure by GM last year. Layoffs have also occurred at GM's transmission plant in central Mexican city of Silao.
Fiat Chrysler workers join GM strikers at shuttered Warren Transmission plant in suburban Detroit
The UAW is continuing its total information blackout on the contract talks. According to the Detroit News, GM and UAW negotiators have been continuing talks "with no sense of urgency," with negotiators ending discussions at 8 p.m. most days. The newspaper argued that the information blackout was a "good sign"—"[n]egotiating publicly would mean that one side needs to garner public support against the other," it said.
In fact, what is taking place are not "negotiations" between adversarial parties but strategy sessions between GM and its UAW agents, many of whom, including union president Gary Jones, face federal bribery and corruption charges. The focus of the discussions are over how to force through major concessions, including increased use of temps, the maintenance of the hated tier system and greater out-of-pocket health care costs.
If the negotiators are not apparently in any hurry to reach a deal to end the strike, it is because they understand that any attempt to shut down the strike could backfire and spark a rebellion by autoworkers. There are reportedly deep divisions within the UAW over how to proceed, with one faction arguing that the union will not be able to send workers back before voting on a contract, as they did after the 8-hour strike at parts supplier Faurecia in June. In the meantime, they can rely on the UAW's $250 per week strike pay to wear down workers and starve them into submission.
This underscores the need for the building of rank-and-file strike committees to take the conduct of the strike out of the hands of the UAW bribe-takers, call out Ford and Fiat workers in a common strike and unify with workers in Canada, Mexico and internationally against the transnational corporations.
To the extent that the UAW is engaged in genuine bargaining, it is over how to preserve the institutional interests of the UAW apparatus. A central preoccupation of the UAW is how to maintain a flow of dues-income in the face of disruption caused by emerging technologies such as electric and autonomous vehicles.
This was demonstrated by a UAW white paper on electric vehicles which was released earlier this year. According to the study, electric vehicles (EVs)will become price competitive with traditional vehicles in less than a decade and could account for more than half of global auto sales by 2040. Because of the simpler design of electric vehicle powertrains, which use less parts than traditional combustion engines, electric cars will require approximately 30 percent less labor to produce.
The document all but accepts as inevitable that the transition to electric vehicles will result in massive job losses. The UAW response is a combination of national protectionism and corporatism, in order to ensure that those jobs that are left stay in the United States and under the purview of the UAW, not matter how low the pay.
Their concern is that EV's will result in work being shifted to "employers with a poor history of labor relations"—that is, that do not contract out the UAW as an industrial police force—"or companies that are more likely to import components."
The study sounds the alarm that the United States is falling behind China in the electric vehicle market. It demands that the US government treat advanced vehicle technology as "a strategic sector to be protected and built in the US."
In plain language, the union supports trade war measures aimed at securing the dominance of the American auto industry at the expense of its Chinese, Japanese and European rivals. Such measures have already been implemented or threatened by the Trump administration, which has threatened to impose tariffs on auto imports on "national security grounds."
Such protectionist measures have nothing to do with defending American autoworkers. The UAW has promoted the same toxic nationalism for decades, imposing concession after concession in the name of defending "American jobs" while colluding with the auto bosses in the destruction of 600,000 Big Three jobs. The union's demand to declare electric vehicles a "strategic" asset would also invite the government to place autoworkers under state discipline and ban future strikes on "national security" grounds.
What the UAW's strategy means in practice was demonstrated in the GM's contract offer. The deal provided for the construction of a new battery plant near the now-closed Lordstown Assembly Plant in northeast Ohio.
But in exchange, workers at the plant, who would work under a separate contract from the rest of UAW members at GM, would earn near-poverty level wages which top out at $17 per hour. This is roughly the current starting wage for a second-tier worker in GM's assembly plants.
The deal was not rejected because the UAW is opposed to poverty wages. On the contrary, the blueprint for this scheme was already laid out last year at Orion Assembly Plant, which produces the all-electric Chevy Bolt. In a Memorandum of Understanding signed by union VP Cindy Estrada, the UAW agreed to allow GM to replace 150 regular employees with contractors from GM Subsystems, a wholly owned subsidiary of GM. The UAW pointed to Orion as a model for electric vehicle production in its white paper. The GM subsystems workers—who pay dues to the UAW—will receive lower pay and benefits and can be dispensed with anytime there is a downturn in sales.
GM has also offered to extend the life of the Detroit-Hamtramck plant, which is scheduled to close in January, by building new electric pickup trucks there based on the similar agreement of UAW-backed wage and benefit concessions.
The way forward for the GM strike is not the protectionism of the UAW or by swallowing its endless demands for concessions but the mobilization of the support that American autoworkers have from their brothers and sisters throughout the US and internationally. This has already been demonstrated by statements of support from Indian Maruti Suzuki workers and by the courageous stand taken by Mexican GM workers to refuse any increase in production during the strike.

Q: ¿Por qué no funciona el setTimeout dentro de este bloque if? Este bloque forma parte de la validación de un formulario. Esta parte es donde luego de validar el formulario sin errores muestra un mensaje y después de 5 segundos redirecciona a otra página usando setTimeout y window.location.href. Funciona correctamente, solo que no lo hace tomando en cuenta los segundos indicados.
¿Dónde está el error?
const esExito = true;

if(esExito) {
    const dire = "wishlist.html";
    $form.className = 'oculto';
    document.querySelector('#exito').className = '';
    setTimeout(redireccionar(dire), 5000);
}

function redireccionar(dire) {
    window.location.href = dire ;
}

A: Te recomiendo dejarlo de la siguiente manera, dada la documentación de setTimeOut de developer.mozilla.org

const esExito = true;

if(esExito) {
    setTimeout(function(){
         redireccionar();
         }, 5000);
}

function redireccionar() {
    alert('redireccion');
}

Saludos y escribe cualquier duda.

A: El problema es que estas llamando a la función con el método call (). Esto hace que la función sea llamada (se ejecute) en ese mismo instante. La solución es insertar la función dentro del setTimeout(una función anónima) o llamar a una referencia de esta función.

const esExito = true;

if(esExito) {
    const dire = "wishlist.html";
    setTimeout(function() {
        alert("Hola")
}, 3000);
}

A: No toma en cuenta los segundos indicados porque estas ejecutando la funcion redireccionar(dire)  el retorno es undefined cuando el timeout espera un tipo function colocare un ejemplo para que comprendas mas :

function tal(dir){
  //codigo a ejecutar
}
console.log(typeof(tal()))

lo ideal es que tu funcion espere por parametro y retorne una función esto se conoce como Clousure ó Clausuras mira el siguiente ejemplo:

console.log(typeof(redireccionar()))
setTimeout(redireccionar("av. siempre viva springfield"), 3000);

function redireccionar(dire) {

    return () => console.log("direccion despues de los 3seg" ,dire) ;
}

Tu código quedaria de esta forma :
const esExito = true;

if(esExito) {
    const dire = "wishlist.html";
    $form.className = 'oculto';
    document.querySelector('#exito').className = '';
    setTimeout(redireccionar(dire), 5000);
}

function redireccionar(dire) {
    return () => window.location.href = dire ;
}

A: Estas agregando la funcion en tu mismo bloque de definicion de la primer funcion,
aqui agrego una correccion y ya esta probada.
  function redireccionar(dire) {
       console.log('action');
        return () => window.location.href = dire ;
    }

    function verificaExito(){
    const esExito = true;

    if(esExito) {
        const dire = "wishlist.html";
       // $form.className = 'oculto';
       // document.querySelector('#exito').className = '';
        setTimeout(redireccionar(dire), 5000);
    }
    }
    verificaExito();

Glasgow-based textile designer Laura Spring creates bold, fun accessories using bright geometric prints. I first fell for her work when I came across her Weather Collection. Launched in 2011, The Weather Collection takes its inspiration from everyone's favourite talking point, placing patterns of windmills, umbrellas and the sun on a range of suitcases, rucksacks and totes (pictured at the bottom). More recently she's created a great range of duffel bags using a simple linear screenprinted pattern (above and below), and she launches them in a wider range of colours and sizes at Pulse 2013 this weekend in London. Check out the short video at the bottom giving a glimpse into her process.

Jessica Jones: The Purple Man Returns
Brace for Killgrave's Marvel Legacy impact with Brian Michael Bendis!
by Josh Weiss
The life of Jessica Jones takes on a purple hue with Marvel Legacy.
Now a loving wife and mother, Jessica has carved out a relatively peaceful existence for herself…but on October 4, writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Michael Gaydos reanimate her greatest fear as The Purple Man returns in JESSICA JONES #13!
To get a grasp on the situation, we spoke to Brian about the revival of this living nightmare.
Marvel.com: The Purple Man played a major role in your series ALIAS—can you talk about the evolution of the character as you got to know him?
Brian Michael Bendis: Like everyone else, I read him in certain issues of DAREDEVIL, but I connected most to a MARVEL TEAM-UP ANNUAL by Frank Miller and Herb Trimpe. It's a lesser work by those masters, but it stars Luke Cage and Iron Fist and Spider-Man and they're fighting The Purple Man. My young mind read this and I got struck by the idea that he had the most terrifying power of anybody in the Marvel Universe—that he could take over someone's life like that definitely felt horrifying. And seeing him do that to a hero—with no one even noticing the hero had disappeared—became the scariest story I could think of at the time.
Marvel.com: What are Killgrave's motives for coming back into her life now?
Brian Michael Bendis: That's the thing. This guy doesn't have the same moral code as the rest of us. He lives in a different reality because the concept of power and responsibility mean the opposite to him than they do for the heroes. So finding his motivation will take a couple of issues because it's so dense and complicated. Jessica Jones finds herself in the perfect place to figure him out…but will she be in the perfect place to stop him?
Marvel.com: How has The Purple Man changed since we last saw him come up against Jessica?
Brian Michael Bendis: He's had other stories happen to him. Other things have happened to him since ALIAS. And all of that will be reflected in the new story.
Marvel.com: What kind of threat does he pose to Jessica's role as a wife and mother?
Brian Michael Bendis: Complete. Everything. This will be a nuclear hurricane right in the face of the life that she has built for herself.
Marvel.com: How do you go about making Killgrave's return traumatic and scary, not just for Jessica, but for the reader as well?
Brian Michael Bendis: Jessica actually describes this in the story. This will be scarier because the first time this happened to Jessica she didn't know anything. She did not know The Purple Man or what he did to her. Now she knows. And when you add a child and a husband, it's the scariest thing you could think of. It's the scariest thing I could think of.
Brian Michael Bendis and artist Michael Gaydos present JESSICA JONES #13 on October 4!

Photo Source: Charlie Furusho/@Japan Airlines
Japan Airlines Co (JAL) and Travelport Worldwide, a leading travel technology company, have formed a joint venture to take ownership of Travelport Japan K.K. and JAL's 100 percent owned subsidiary, Axess International Network, Inc.
Under the unified Travelport Axess brand, the joint venture will operate a Global Distribution System (GDS) tailored to the needs of the Japanese travel industry.
According to the agreement, Travelport will hold a majority stake in Travelport Axess, with JAL controlling the remaining stake and playing an active role in the joint venture. Following the signing of a definitive agreement between Travelport and JAL, the new joint venture is expected to be formed on June 1, 2019.
Initially, Travelport Japan and Axess will continue to operate independently, with a gradual program of integration to combine the two organizations commencing later this year.
The proposed joint venture, will combine Axess' expertise in Japan and Travelport's global technology leadership. Travelport Axess will continue to offer travel agents services through Axess' GDS platform, "Axess", and enable access to Travelport's GDS platforms, "Apollo" and "Galileo".

The warmer weather is here, and if you're anything like me, that means you're all about the spring clean and then summer redecoration. I'm at the point now where I don't go too crazy with my redecorating as I've spend a few years making slow changes, but I've still got some tips I'd love to share with you guys today.
One of the first things I'd like to mention is how much of a difference good bedding has made to my bedroom. I spend a lot of time in bed, and since I work from home I'll even spend the mornings working from bed and having breakfast there (yup I'm a lucky duck). What this means is that comfortable bedding is a must for me. Wherever I move, I always invest in a feather comforter- nothing feels more luxurious or warm to me in winter.
I've also noticed that my choice of bedding impacts how my room looks in a big way. It also affects how I feel. In winter, my comforter and sheets are typically dark colours or patterns, but in summer, I break out my bright, colourful bedding and it totally changes the look of my room. If you're still using your old winter bedding, get down to Julian Charles bedding and pick something that puts you in a summer mood- you'll be surprised at how much of a difference it makes!
Another one of my favourite tips is to consider your art. Since I've done so much travel, much of my art is personal to me. There's the beautiful painting I bought in Cambodia, the scrolls from China, my wooden mask from Bali, my blanket from Guatemala, and more. This helps give my home so much personality, and I have so many memories of travel when I look at this art.
If you're planning a trip somewhere overseas, I highly recommend getting some art while you're there. Otherwise, head down to your local gallery, or just keep an eye out for something that makes you think "wow, that would look great in my bathroom" or something similar.
I've also found that having a nice kitchen is not only important to me (I hate to cook, so I try to make the experience better by having a comfortable, useful kitchen), but it helps when I have guests over as well. One of the best things I did was clear away the clutter in my kitchen. I replaced a bunch of different appliances with an Instant Pot, moved my toaster out of the way, and maximised the storage in the kitchen.
Removing clutter is actually a good tip to implement throughout your home. Not only does it make it easier to keep your home tidy, but you'll find that it makes each room seem bigger as well.
What are your top tips for redecorating for summer? Leave a comment below and let me know.

To be considered for a Merit Scholarship award, semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the Finalist level of the competition. Semifinalists are the highest-scoring program entrants in each state and represent the top one percent of the state's senior students. Students qualify for recognition in the National Merit programs with their scores on the PSAT/NMSQT®.


Why should you bother with learning about search engine optimization? The fact is that search engine optimization is an inexpensive way of effectively advertising your business, as you don't need to hire a professional if you have the right advice. Your small business will benefit from as much exposure as you can possibly give it, so be sure to follow these simple steps to get more business from your web presence.
Why should your small business use search engine optimization? Search engine optimization is an optimal way to direct traffic to every page of your website, instead of just the homepage. In other words, you can utilize commonly used keywords advice, in order to direct traffic to other parts of your website. People who are not searching for your business specifically, may find the result interesting and be compelled to navigate the rest of your links.
Avoid using Flash content to help with SEO because it won't. While it looks great and can be impressive, you are not allowed to link to single pages in a Flash site. For the best results, don't rely completely on Flash. If you want to use it, do so sparingly.
Keep your site updated with new content on a regular basis. Sites that are consistently being updated are ranked higher by the search engines than sites that are static and unchanging. Adding new content also benefits you by providing more information for your readers and will keep people coming back.
Do not make your site entirely Flash-based. Not only will some people not buy due to device incompatibility, others simply don't like Flash and will click away from your site quickly. Do, however, use Flash in product or service demonstrations, as they can convert customers. But, have a text description for those who can't or won't use Flash.

I am wrapping up what has been a phenomenal trip to Shanghai and Beijing. I finally made the trip I have been wanting to make for a decade, and I'm so glad that I did.
The reflections an observations of these past days are far too many for a post or likely my words at all, but one observation that struck me was just how capitalist China seems.
It seems to be a country of scrappy, hard-working dreamers. Everyone I met in their twenties had plans for bigger and better things – new careers, new cities, new adventures.
It also showed up in day-to-day life from the taxis to the stores to the mega-nightclubs. Everyone was reaching for that edge – like a game of poker with no cards and all bluff – posture was everything.
But rather than being put-off or intimidated my the melee, I dove into it and started smiling. My poker face was no match, but it was fun to play along.
Did I get "ripped off" a few times in the process? Sure. I definitely spent few extra dollars over the last two weeks because I pushed the envelope and took chances. But it was well worth it.
Seeing people push that line of ethics beyond the breaking point in the pure pursuit of profit is something I have seen in worlds from high finance on Wall Street, to the competitiveness of Harvard classrooms, and now on the streets of China.
It is the same fundamental strain: What are you made of when the chips are down? Are you willing to sacrifice your character for a few dollars or points or yuan? Or do you believe integrity is worth it?
We have seen the results of a collective group of decisions to put the game ahead of integrity, and we will be picking up the pieces for the next few years if not longer. Yet when a market-mentality replaces morality and values in people's decision-making processes we should expect nothing less. This is a symptom of a broader social problem.
I would be lying if I said I have never crossed the line. Sure I have…we all have. But I have sincerely tried – especially in the last six months or so – to put my integrity, character and transparency high on my priority list.
Maybe that makes me a sucker in some sense – but consciously choosing to take the high road when you see the alternative in front of you seems different than being duped into naivete.
In other words, I have seen the demons and know that dark path exists, but I'll keep trying to resist it and instead keep trying to walk with my head held high and with honor. I know that it will come in fits and starts, but I am grateful to have many of you out there walking along with me.

Q: One To Many Connection So I have two models Field and Sensor which have a OneToMany connection. Im creating a page where I have all the fields and whenever i click on one i get its respective sensors. I've made 4 test sensors (3 of them are on Field1, 1 on Field2) but its printing first one to first field and 2nd one to 2nd field maybe because of the pk parameter. Any clue how to fix that ?
class Field(models.Model):

    friendly_name = models.CharField(max_length=24, blank=True)
    soil_type = models.CharField(max_length=24, choices=SOIL_TYPES, blank=True)
    cultivation = models.CharField(max_length=128, choices=CULTIVATIONS, blank=True)

class TreeSensor(models.Model):

    field = models.ForeignKey(Field, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    datetime = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True, default=None)

    sensor_name = models.CharField(max_length=200, blank=True)
    longitude = models.DecimalField(max_digits=22, decimal_places=16, blank=True, null=True)
    latitude = models.DecimalField(max_digits=22, decimal_places=16, blank=True, null=True)

View :
def detail(request, field_id):
        try:
            sensor = models.TreeSensor.objects.get(pk=field_id)
        except models.TreeSensor.DoesNotExist:
            raise Http404("No sensors for this field")
        return render(request, 'dashboard/detail.html', {'sensor': sensor})

html:

 {{ field.friendly_name}}

    {% for sensor in field.treesensor_set.all %}
        {{treesensor.sensor_name}}
        {%endfor%}

A: I'm not sure what does this line will print out?  and what is "models" in that case mean!
models.TreeSensor.objects.get(pk=field_id)

however, if you passed field_id which means the id of the Field model so, I think you can replace that filtering instead:
TreeSensor.objects.filter(field__pk=field_id)

A: Yeah that seemed to do the trick I also changed my template
 {% for sensor in sensor %}

{{ sensor.sensor_name}}

 {%endfor%}

and view :
def detail(request, field_id):
    try:
        sensor = models.TreeSensor.objects.filter(field__pk=field_id)
    except sensor.DoesNotExist:
        raise Http404("No sensors for this field")
    return render(request, 'dashboard/detail.html', {'sensor': sensor})

I get the right sensors on the right fields but if a field is empty the http404 does not raise an error.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong with the does.not.exist?How to just check for an empty query and print out the corresponding text?  Thanks

The International Energy Agency reported last month that the growth in global carbon emissions had stalled for the first time in their 40 year records, in the absence of major economic crisis. The figures remained at 32 gigatonnes in 2014, the same as 2013. While this is encouraging the IEA has warned that despite the news, this was "no time for complacency".
The stall is being attributed to changing patterns of energy use in China and other member countries of the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development), particularly the shift towards renewable energy generation; China is now the world's largest investor in renewable energy. Full report details have not yet been released, however it is hoped that the results will aid in the signing of a new international climate change agreement in Paris in December. The current aim is to limit the rise in global surface temperatures to less than 2°C compared with pre-industrial levels.
The news came as the US pledged to address climate change by cutting its carbon emissions by 26-28% by 2025, in an offer to the EU before the Paris conference aforementioned. The pledge follows a similar statement of intent by the EU and other wealthy nations, before the deadline for offers set by the EU, not all countries have submitted on time however, some such as Canada missed the deadline.


yesterday i was generously gifted with this gorgeous book that i peruse each time i partake in bookstore browsing. it's truly eye candy for the artistic soul.
simple gestures such as a thank you note, a gift just because, and an authentic "thank you" can do so much to honor the spirit. as we continue our joy of blooming into spring, i ask you explore ways to reach out and touch someone's soul. bring in yellow daffodils for your office, bake cookies for your colleagues, gift someone a thoughtful token just because, call your mother, send flowers to someone struggling. and while you're at it, dedicate your yoga practice to those in japan.
everything we do (and the way we do it) can provide a moment of heartwarming eye candy to another - especially when filled with 1000 images of inspiring art journal pages.

SIGNATURE MOMENT
Meeting Tomasi de Lampedusa's son in his personal library
Tasting Palermo's street food on a curated walking tour
Cooking up a meal at our beautiful agriturismo
Touring historic Siracusa
Wine tasting with the producer near Noto
Sicily: The Key to Italy
12 days | Italy | Literary Adventures
Palermo, in the words of journalist and native son Roberto Alajmo, is an onion—una cipolla. This city at the edge of Italy reveals its nature slowly. The same might be said for all of Sicily. For more than 10,000 years, layer upon layer has been added to the island's history and culture by conquering warriors, merchants, sailors and travellers from across Europe, North Africa and the Mediterranean basin.
On our tour, explore many regions of Sicily and their multicultural richness. Our leaders and guides will weave the diverse threads into a coherent whole through carefully chosen readings, and time for discussion and reflection. As you peel back each layer of Alajmo's onion, revel
in the new delights: ancient Greek theatres still in use, golden Byzantine mosaics, sprawling Arab-Norman palazzi, vistas over an impossibly blue sea, the ruby red of a glass of nero d'avola. You'll start in Palermo, where the focus will be Giuseppe Tomasi de Lampedusa's seminal novel The Leopard. You'll also have time to explore Palermo's revitalized art scene and taste its famous street food—the crowd-pleasing arancini (fried risotto balls) and pani ca' meusa, a soft sesame roll filled with spleen, for those who don't back down from a gustatory challenge. It's then time to leave the city behind for a few days at an agriturismo among the olive groves of the south coast. On excursions to nearby Agrigento, stand "with all Olympus before [you]" in the Valley of the Temples, the remains of a 6th-century BCE Greek colony. Zip back into modernity to visit the home of Luigi Pirandello, whose radical works question the reliability of reality and the self.
More marvels of the ancient, medieval and Renaissance worlds await at Syracuse. For British novelist Lawrence Durrell, Syracuse was "the whole of science, magic, total time," where past and present coexist. Highlights are Caravaggio's depiction of the burial of St. Lucy, housed in the baroque church of the same name, the 2,500-year-old mikvah (Jewish ritual baths), and the archeological park that houses a Greek theatre where the tragedies of Aeschylus were performed before the playwright.
With our optional extension, end your journey at Mt. Etna. This formidable volcano is also responsible for some of Sicily's greatest pleasures—its beautiful, fragrant citrus fruit and distinctive wine grapes that grow in the rich soil. Toast your Sicilian adventure with a delicate nerello mesacalese or a savoury, salty carricante.
For the German polymath Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Sicily was the "clue to everything." We'll leave that for Italians to decide and instead invite you to join Classical Pursuits on a trip that will unlock Sicily's boundless treasures.
Readings:The Leopard by Giuseppe Tomasi de Lampedusa; Six Characters in Search of an Author by Luigi Pirandello; selected Greek and Roman works; and selected 19th- and 20th-century English poetry.
Tour Cost (per person):
12 - 16 participants
What's included: Airport transfers; accommodation based on double occupancy; most meals; transportation by air conditioned coach; bottled water on the coach; all activities and entrance fees; services of specialized English speaking guides; all gratuities for escort, local guides, drivers, hotel and group meals; all taxes; hosted by Mark Cwik.
