Raymon Doane, Colorado Libertarian Candidate For US Senate, On The Record
By Ryan Warner
Michelle Fulcher/CPR News
Raymon Doane, the Libertarian Party candidate for Colorado's U.S. Senate seat, in the CPR studios.
Don't let people tell you that Libertarians are anti-government, said the party's candidate for the U.S. Senate.
In fact, the party's nominee in that race, Raymon Doane, is a state employee whose department collects taxes.
Doane, of Denver, said his job as an analyst at the Colorado Department of Revenue gives him a better understanding of tax policy, and he doesn't see it in conflict with his party's long-standing calls to limit government.
"I'm not one of the Libertarians that's anti-government, that's not me. And when I go out and talk to people, they say, 'Oh, like, you're purely against government.' I'm like, 'no, that is not my viewpoint.' And that's not a lot of viewpoints within the Libertarian party," he said.
Doane also spoke to Colorado Matters host Ryan Warner about laws that disproportionately affect African-Americans, including himself.
With about 37,000 registered voters, the Libertarian party is the state's biggest minor party. It was founded in Colorado Springs in 1979.
On taxes:
"I would like taxes to be more equitable. If you ever have an opportunity to, and if you need to go to sleep, a good way to help you do so would be to read Title 39 of the Colorado Revised Statutes. And you can see all of the extra revenue generations or the credits to deductions that are applied in there. And it's amazing where taxes are supposed to create economic incubators.
You look at those and just ask yourself one question: Do you think that those actually create economic opportunities for those around you? If the answer is yes, then continue to vote for your elected officials to promote those bills. If the answer is no, then you should really start to take a hard look at what policies are actually being promoted, rather than just the pandering come election time."

On reconciling Libertarian views with government intervention in the COVID-19 pandemic:
"(The shutdown has been) way too extreme … I'm a big advocate for suggesting things to people, because when you mandate people do things like, (you) can't go outside. Or you start to deem certain workers essential or non-essential, that becomes a very sticky situation, especially when it's on a wide range.
If you look at where Huerfano County, Los Animas, Dolores, Saguache, populations in cities are much smaller than Denver County, you want to allow them to maintain their sovereignty by dictating what they're going to do on their own."
On systemic racism:
"Just going off of George Floyd — him losing his life over a counterfeit bill a lot of people don't understand that … systemic racism does exist it's not necessarily blatant. So that was just a counterfeit bill. But then you look at legalization of marijuana, African-Americans are prone to be arrested more often than their white counterparts for possessing this drug in different states. Obviously it's legal here in Colorado. But if you were to go to our surrounding neighbors, that is not the case."
On whether recent demonstrations in Aurora and Denver were riots:
"Half and half, yes. In the beginning, they were protests, peaceful assemblies. I definitely accept that. But when you start to see people destroy a government building and you say, 'Oh yay, we're going to tear down statutes. We're going to do all that.' I can tell you from a taxation standpoint, money is going to go back to fix those things.
And when that money has to be reallocated to fix those government buildings, when that money has to be reallocated to replace those statutes, guess what it's taken away from. So in reality, we have to take a different approach because if we're going to continue to destroy stuff, I understand the frustration. I understand the fear and I understand the anger, but we have to look at the ballot box first."

When Lauren first brought up the idea of walking the Camino de Santiago in late April, I was surprised. It was one of those things that had always said she wanted to do, and I believed that she would do it one day, but I just didn't think it would be now. But after thinking it over for several days, I thought, why not? Indeed, as she and I discussed, this seemed to be the perfect time for her to do this, not just because of her employment situation, but also being the right time for her, personally, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually.
For a week prior to her departure, the whole idea of the trip still seemed ephemeral, a house of cards that could fall apart at any moment. And then, quite suddenly, it was happening. And yet, it still wasn't real for me. Even though Lauren had laid out all of her gear next to her backpack, even though I knew the flight time, the shape of what was to come had not fully coalesced in my mind.
I was excited for Lauren. I knew that she was excited, and I shared that feeling with her vicariously. I was also excited at the prospect of a month at home alone. Though I love Lauren very much, I cherish time to do things I want to do, and to be perfectly honest I was looking forward to a month of writing, catching up with friends, playing video games, and watching sci-fi movies. A month of having fun, Shannon-style. I remained blissfully ignorant of how Lauren's trip would really affect me. Intellectually, I knew that I would miss her, but I felt none of it.
A last-minute going away party to wish her Buen Camino was my final opportunity to enjoy her company, and it passed in a whirlwind of laughter and well wishes. And then she was climbing out of the car at the airport and walking to the terminal. But something of me went with her. Part of my heart was hooked to her, and when she left, she unwittingly tore a piece out of me and took it with her, leaving a ragged hole behind. I was consumed with an immediate, overwhelming sense of loss and loneliness. I drove home in silence, listening to the sound of the wheels on the road and my own thoughts echoing around inside my skull. A month without seeing her first thing when I wake up in the morning, without finding her curled up with a book when I came home from work, without her affection or her smile (or her cooking!).
Back at home, I realized that I didn't know anything about the Camino de Santiago aside from the few brief questions she had answered. I didn't even know how far she would be walking. I looked it up – 700km from Pamplona to Santiago, 440 miles! And with this first overwhelming fact, I needed to know others. What was the trail like? Where would she stop first? How would she manage her diet in a country known for its carnivores?
Even the first day after she was gone, friends and family were asking me questions about Lauren's trip and I had few answers. Then, precious text message began to filter in, and word by word her journey began to unfold. I studied each text message as if it were a haiku or a zen koan. I hoped to discover clues to where she had gone, what she was experiencing, how she was feeling, a secret cache of knowledge hidden between her P's and Q's. A simple message like — Awesome blisters. Hills today and rain. Only 19k. — seemed ripe with possibility, a whole landscape of sights and sounds. And so I began to do the only thing I knew how – I began to write.
Each blog post was a surprise for me. How much could I uncover through these few phrases delivered to me like messages in a bottle one day at a time? I marked how far she had traveled, where she started, where she arrived. I wrote about how I imagine she felt, trying to grow the germ of what I knew into the idea of what I thought she was experiencing. In doing so, I moved closer to her.
Writing each blog entry helps me to feel like I am on the journey with her in spirit, if not in body. It has helped me to feel connected to her. That ragged hole is no longer there. Instead, we have a thread that joins us in spirit though we are three thousand six hundred miles apart. That thread hums and vibrates with each step she takes, each message she sends, and each word that I write.
I am her chronicler, recording the passage of miles, the passage of towns and villages. I am also a messenger. My words became a bridge between her isolation on an ancient road devoid of media saturation and instant communication, and you, friends and family who follow along, who send your wishes and love and prayers. Your kind words not only to Lauren, but also to me, have helped me to stay motivated and excited about the coming days of Lauren's journey.
Thank you all so much for reading, for your encouragement, and for your love and generosity of spirit.
And Lauren, thank you. You have inspired me, and I feel closer to you now than before you left, though you are far away. Your dedication, your endurance, your willingness to face the unknown, both in front of you and inside of yourself, is an inspiration. It moves me to do the same. I love you.
that was beautifully written Shannon. I hope this is one of Lauren's greatest adventures yet.

The Synod of tough words spoken softly
05 October 2015, The Tablet
Synod must not see family as the problem
by James Roberts
As part of his preparation for the Synod on the Family starting on Sunday, Cardinal Vincent Nichols made the wise choice of reading with care the address given by Pope Francis at his meeting with families on 22 September in the Cathedral of Santiago in Cuba.
It is, as Cardinal Nichols says, a remarkable address. Equally remarkable was Francis' address to the bishops taking part in the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia five days later, on 27 September.
If anyone wants to know why Francis really called this two-part Synod, and what he hopes will be its fruit, then the guidance is here.
Amid all the difficulties for families today, that Francis freely acknowledges, he stressed in Cuba that "families are not a problem, they are first and foremost an opportunity". The opportunity for the Church is to "care for, protect and support them". "Once you begin to see the family as a problem, you get bogged down, because you are caught up in yourself", he said.

The Synod of tough words spoken softly - Paul Vallely
In Philadelphia he developed this idea further. The pastoral challenge for the Church, he said, is to recognise that the family is "the Lord's gift". It is the "fundamental locus of the covenant between the Church and God's creation". Without it "not even the Church would exist". In other words, she (the Church] could not be the two things she is called to be: a sign and instrument of communion with God, and a sign and instrument of the unity of the entire human race.
Francis identifies the contemporary assaults on the family. "The family saves us from two present-day phenomena, two things which happen every day: fragmentation, and uniformity. In both cases, people turn into isolated individuals, easy to manipulate and to rule," he said in Cuba. And in the US, a culture entirely focussed on "the tastes of the consumer" means many young people "have yielded to a form of unconscious acquiescence. They are afraid … Many put off marriage while waiting for ideal conditions, when everything can be perfect."
Moreover, "changes taking place in contemporary society, with their social, culture – and sadly also legal – effects on family bonds" are, he says, unprecedented. This looks like an oblique reference to same-sex marriage, recently imposed by the Supreme Court on the whole of the United States. "Until recently," he goes on, "we lived in a social context where the similarities between the civil institution of marriage and the Christian sacrament were considerable and shared. The two were … mutually supportive. This is no longer the case."
Bishops and cardinals pray as Pope Francis celebrates the opening Mass of the Synod of bishops (PA)
So what must the Church do? Clearly on his US visit Francis rejected the confrontational approach adopted by some of the bishops. But he accepts there is a cultural chasm that needs to be bridged.
One can hardly blame young people for having grown up in this kind of society, Francis says. And he is explicit about what the Church and its pastors must do: "We need to invest our energies not so much in rehearsing the problems of the world around us and the merits of Christianity, but in extending a sincere invitation to young people to be brave and to opt for marriage and the family".
He is silent on same-sex relationships, but says: "Young people have to be encouraged to take this risk [of starting a family], it is a risk of fruitfulness and life". A pastor "will enable his brothers and sisters to hear and experience God's promise … Which can expand their experience of motherhood and fatherhood".
In the debates ahead of the Synod, many have argued for what they call a "pastoral approach" that is seen by others to be a dilution of the Church's teaching. If anyone wants to know what Francis means by a pastoral approach, however, it is right there.
The pastors have to "sow in crooked furrows", he says, but the evangelical fruits will come tumbling.
"Our ministry needs to deepen the covenant between the Church and the family," Francis said in Philadelphia. Then he repeated the sentence, word for word, in case anyone had missed the point. "The family is a school of humanity," he said in Cuba. The two tasks of the bishops at the Synod are to learn from it, and learn how to defend it.

Comment by: matthew t
Thinking about your interesting article made me think that perhaps part of the church's 'cultural chasm' could be a slow burning attitude that has quietly distanced the church and its institutions from the raw realities of family life.
In religions which seem to be keeping their children in their faiths well, the home is the locus of many of the most important and holy rituals - traditional Jewish families celebrate the sabbath most deeply at home so far as I know, while sikhs have the teaching of Guru Nanak, that families are the ones who feed the itinerant holy monks, and so are places of spiritual significance and grace.
In the Church, much emphasis has been put on the culture of the centre and the cleric - the vatican as the seat of the church, priests and bishops as the true representatives, indeed sometimes the only ones who understand the teaching... and so the gulf between family and church widens.
Francis admires how the poor are brought close to God through popular rituals, etc, perhaps he is trying to address the same problem. while we see the church as something other than God's people, sinners, and our imperfect families and homes, it will appear as an institution, distant and clunky as institutions always are, reconciling the church and families- is rekindling the spirit and warmth of the people of God and the traditions.
How this affects the synod and its meeting of celibate cardinals, in the biggest centre of clerical majesty remains to be seen...

Q: Powershell: Limit input to a range of numeric values (int or decimal) I have seen this here for different scripting languages, however I have my problem in Powershell and as follows:
I want to limit the input of a numeric value, which can either be a decimal or an integer one, to a specific range.
I tried the following:
Do { $value = Read-host "Specify a value between 23.976 and 60"}
while ((23.976..60) -notcontains $value )

However it seems that like this it doesn't accept any decimal values at all but only integers. For instance, when I try to enter 29.97 or 29.970 it stays in the loop.
How can I do this right?

A: PowerShell's range operator - .. - generates an array of discrete values from the range endpoints, which can have the following types (in a given expression, both endpoints must have the same type):

*

*[int] (System.Int32)

*

*e.g., 1..3 creates array 1, 2, 3

*Note: While the minimum and maximum endpoint values allowed are [int]::MinValue and [int]::MaxValue, respectively, the resulting array must additionally not have more than 2,146,435,071 elements (2+ billion), which is the max. element count for a single-dimensional [int] array in .NET - see this answer for background information.

*Alternatively, only in PowerShell [Core, 6+]: characters, which are enumerated between the endpoints by their underlying code points ("ASCII values").

*

*e.g., 'a'..'c' creates array [char] 'a', [char] 'b', [char] 'c'
Instances of numeric types other than [int] are quietly coerced to the latter - if they can fit into the [int] range - in which case half-to-even midpoint rounding is performed for non-integral types; e.g., implicit [double] instances 23.5 and 24.5 are both coerced to 24.
Because [int] 23.976 is 24, your 23.976..60 expression creates array 24, 25, 26, ..., 60 which is not your intent.
In short: You cannot use .. to describe an uncountable range of non-integers (fractional numbers).
Instead, use -ge (greater than or equal) and -le (less than or equal) to test against the endpoints:
-not ($value -ge 23.976 -and $value -le 60)

Additionally, in order to make the -ge and -le operations work as intended,  convert the return value from Read-Host, which is always a string, to a number.
If you were to use $value as directly returned by Read-Host, you'd get lexical (text sort order-based) comparison, not numeric comparison.
Therefore, cast the Read-Host return value to [double]:
$value = try { [double] (Read-Host 'Specify a value between 23.976 and 60') }
         catch {}

Note: The try / catch handles the case when the user enters text that cannot be interpreted as a [double] representation.

To put it all together:
do {
  $value = try { [double] (Read-Host 'Specify a value between 23.976 and 60') }
           catch {}
} while (-not ($value -ge 23.976 -and $value -le 60))

A: OK guys, this is how it works ;)
Do { $value = Read-host "Specify a value between 23.976 and 60"}
while (( $value -gt 60 ) -or ( $value -lt 23.976 ))

Marketing New Pharmaceutical Products
Starting in 1997 and continuing over more than a decade, Ventana built a number of different models for one of the world's best known pharmaceuticals companies. These models were designed to make contingent predictions of drug sales using inputs such as the attributes of products and the mix of promotion alternatives available. Several of the compounds whose future market response we studied did not proceed past clinical trials, so model predictions could not be tested. But one drug that successfully passed clinical trials achieved one of the most successful launches in the history of the industry. While the role of the model in enabling the success is hard to establish, many people at the company felt the model played a very important role, including the senior marketing vice president of the company. The initial use of the model was not to forecast sales but rather to structure the "war games" used to plan the marketing campaign that launched the product. It served this purpose well, and the exercise explicated many aspects of the market in a self consistent way that had not been conceived before the games. The model was controversial because it predicted that with the right promotion campaign the new drug could be a "blockbuster." This was not inconsistent with the hopes of many people within the company, but there were many others who thought the drug would be only modestly successful. (The company's offering was not the first product in a new drug class for serving the market.)
Ventana turned the model over to its client to use during and after the drug launch. We received reports from two individuals that the pre-launch model predicted the post-launch sales quite accurately. Ventana was unable to verify these reports directly, but we were able to determine that the model accurately predicted the market share of the company's drug in its drug class for about 18 months after the launch.
One aspect of the model was almost universally dismissed by the company's sales department (as distinct from its marketing department). This was regarding the importance of pharmaceutical sales representatives. Company managers believed that the sales force drove sales in all phases of a product's lifecycle. Ventana's modeling confirmed the importance of the sales force during and immediately after the launch of a new product, but they also revealed that the dynamics of subsequent sales efficiency were more counterintuitive than most people realized. It took managers a few years to internalize the findings, but by 2002 there was generally good agreement on the impact of promotion to physicians.


This unique liquid jelly formula is super hydrating and pigmented giving you a beautiful natural blush. The shade Bali has shimmers of a gold hue giving you naturally sparkling skin in a lightweight finish. Apply to the apples of your cheeks to add a flush of natural colour.
Using your fingers or a small face brush apply a small amount of liquid jelly blush to the apples of your cheeks.
I have been hearing a lot about brands making products with jelly texture. Unfortunately, I am not a fan of blushes so I don't see myself using this product as it should be. But, I am looking forward to try other products from this brand. I might use it during summer times or give it away to someone that will appreciate it.
Nice product, easy to apply, nice colour for all skin tones & wears well.
nice blush, love the formula however it is a little bit shimmery for me.

Philip G. Alston arrived in Washington last fall on a mission from the U.N. Human Rights Council to document poverty in America. At his first meeting, Alston said he was told by a senior State Department official that his findings may influence the United States' membership in the human rights body.
"A senior official said to me my report could be a factor in whether the U.S. decided or not to stay in the council," said Alston, U.N. special rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, who declined to name the official. "I think I was being sent a message."
215 people die over two days while trying to cross Mediterranean from Libya
Over the course of two days, more than 200 people drowned after leaving Libya for Europe, according to a report from the United Nations. On Tuesday, 95 people died while traveling in a wooden boat carrying 100 passengers, the UN said. The boat was found near Libya's capital, Tripoli, by the Libyan National Guard.

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley announced this week that the United States would withdraw from the Human Rights Council, citing what she called its bias against Israel. Haley also threatened a U.S. departure in 2017, saying the council whitewashed dictators' abuses. Conservatives have for years pushed for the United States to withdraw from the body, which investigates allegations of human rights abuses in U.N. member states.
UN report : America's poor becoming more destitute under Trump
Americans born into poverty are more likely than ever before to stay that way, according to a United Nations report on poverty and inequality in the US. "The United States, one of the world's richest nations and the "land of opportunity," is fast becoming a champion of inequality," the report concluded.The Trump administration has slammed the UN report arguing the organization should instead focus on poverty in the third world. US Ambassador to the UN Nicki Haley said, "It is patently ridiculous for the United Nations to examine poverty in America.

On Friday, a spokesman for Haley said that Alston's report, which was published this May, "had nothing to do with our decision to leave the Human Rights Council."
But the fact that a State Department official had made the connection between the forthcoming report and U.S. participation in the U.N. panel underscores the Trump administration's sensitivity to criticisms of its policy.
"It was in the opening comments by State [officials]," said a second attendee at the meeting, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to disclose what happened. "The impression that I got was that if this rocked the boat too much, it could be detrimental to the U.S.'s continued involvement in the U.N.'s human rights mechanisms."
The 20-page Alston report found that the United States has among the most chronic rates of poverty among all nations in the developed world and that President Trump's policies are likely to exacerbate them. Liberal critics seized on Alston's findings to say the Trump administration was failing to help the nation's poorest citizens.
Melania's careless jacket flap provides an opening
If the first lady wants people to believe the opposite of the message she displayed Thursday, writes Kara Alaimo, she's going to need to prove she really DOES care. Here's how.On Thursday, first lady Melania Trump wore a jacket scrawled with the words "I really don't care. Do U?" as she climbed the stairs to her plane, which was bound for Texas. She was on a surprise trip to the US border with Mexico to learn about the plight of migrant children held in a shelter there.

But in a letter to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) released Thursday, Haley argued that the council should instead focus on developing countries like Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
"It is patently ridiculous for the United Nations to examine poverty in America," Haley wrote. "In our country, the President, Members of Congress, Governors, Mayors, and City Council members actively engage on poverty issues every day. Compare that to the many countries around the world, whose governments knowingly abuse human rights and cause pain and suffering."
Alston formally presented his findings to the Human Rights Council in Geneva on Friday, arguing that "when one of the world's wealthiest countries does very little about the fact that 40 million of its citizens live in poverty, it is entirely appropriate for the reasons to be scrutinized."
Kenneth Roth, executive director of the advocacy organization Human Rights Watch, said he believed the U.S. decision to leave the council was motivated primarily by Israel policy, but he said Alston's presentation might have sped it up.
DHS employees warned about safety amid backlash over family separations
Amid the furor over the policy that resulted in thousands of families separated at the border, Department of Homeland Security employees have been warned about threats to their personal safety, according to a department-wide email obtained by CNN. In the message from Claire M. Grady, the acting deputy secretary of homeland security, onSaturday afternoon, DHS employees were given information about the security resources available to them and were provided with tips for security, like not wearing their badges in public and being on guard for risks in public and online.
The United Nations (UN) is an intergovernmental organization responsible for maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations, achieving international cooperation, and being a center for harmonizing the actions of nations.
"The driving factor was Israel, but the timing could have easily been affected by a desire to not be in the room when Alston reported on the U.S. going backward in not addressing poverty," he said.
Alston said he was initially invited by the U.S. government under President Barack Obama to study poverty in America. The invitation was extended again by U.S. officials under then-Secretary of State Rex Tillerson in 2017, he said.
"We look forward to welcoming Mr. Alston to the United States for a country visit this December," Flacelia Celsula, part of the U.S. delegation at the United Nations, said in a meeting of the Human Rights Council on June 8, 2017.
The report said the United States has the highest rates of youth poverty, infant mortality, incarceration, income inequality and obesity among all countries in the developed world, as well as 40 million people living in poverty. Most of the statistics cited in the report date from 2016, before Trump was elected.
Alston said the comments from the State Department official did not influence his work.
Michigan judge rules kids don't have a fundamental right to literacy .
A Michigan judge ruled last week that children do not have a fundamental right to learn how to read and write. The ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed by Public Counsel, the nation's largest public interest law firm, on behalf of Detroit students that sought to hold state authorities, including Gov. Rick Snyder (R), accountable for what plaintiffs alleged were systemic failures depriving children of their right to literacy, according to the Detroit Free Press."I'm shocked," said Ivy Bailey, president of the Detroit Federation of Teachers, the newspaper reported.

Training is everything. York Driscoll enjoyed two years of bliss with that prize, Tom bliss that was troubled a little at times, it is true, but bliss nevertheless; then she died, and her husband and his childless sister, Mrs. Pratt, continued this bliss business at the old stand. Tom was petted and indulged and spoiled to his entire content or nearly that. This went on till he was nineteen, then he was sent to Yale. He went handsomely equipped with "conditions," but otherwise he was not an object of distinction there. He remained at Yale two years, and then threw up the struggle. He came home with his manners a good deal improved; he had lost his surliness and brusqueness, and was rather pleasantly soft and smooth, now; he was furtively, and sometimes openly, ironical of speech, and given to gently touching people on aOlernKienOP Air Jordan Spizike The Search For The Holy Grail Or Finding The Right Bra the raw, but he did it with a good natured semiconscious air that carried it off safely, and kept him from getting into trouble. He was as indolent as ever and showed no very strenuous desire to hunt up an occupation. People argued from this that he preferred to be supported by his uncle until his uncle's shoes should become vacant. He brought back one or two new habits with him, one of which he rather openly practiced tippling but concealed another, which was gambling. It would not do to gamble where his uncle could hear of it; he knew that quite well.
Tom's Eastern polish was not popular among the young people. They could have endured it, perhaps, if Tom had stopped there; but he wore gloves, and Air Jordan Fusion 5 that they couldn't stand, and wouldn't; so he was mainly without society. He brought home with him a suit of clothes of such exquisite style and cut in fashion Eastern fashion, city fashion that it filled everybody with anguish and was regarded as a peculiarly wanton affront. He enjoyed the feeling which he was exciting, and paraded the town serene aOlernKienOP Air Jordan 2011 closet rods Articles and happy all day; but the young fellows set a tailor to work that night, and when Tom started out on his parade Jordan 9 Retro aOlernKienOP Air Jordan 2010 Lamb roast rare in a sunburnt country next morning, he found the old deformed Negro bell ringer straddling along in his wake tricked out in a flamboyant curtain calico exaggeration of his finery, and imitating his fancy Eastern graces as well as he could.
Tom surrendered, and after that clothed himself in the local fashion. But the dull country town was tiresome to him, since his acquaintanceship with livelier regions, and it grew daily more and more so. He began to make little trips to St. Louis for refreshment. There he found companionship to suit him, and pleasures to his taste, Jordan Pro Strong along with more freedom, in some particulars, than he could have at home. So, during the next two years, his visits aOlernKienOP Air Jordan 2010 A Good Choice to the city grew in frequency and his tarryings there grew steadily longer in duration.
He was getting into deep waters. He was taking chances, privately, which might get him into trouble some day in fact, did.
Judge Driscoll had retired from the bench and from all business activities in 1850, and had now been comfortably aOlernKienOP Air Jordan 10s Drum Brakes Work idle three years. He was president of the Freethinkers' Society, and Pudd'nhead Wilson was the other member. The society's weekly discussions were now the old lawyer's main interest in life. Pudd'nhead was still toiling in obscurity at the bottom of the ladder, under the blight of that unlucky remark which he had let fall twenty three years before about the dog.
Judge Driscoll was his friend, and claimed that he had a mind above the average, but that was regarded as one aOlernKienOP Jordan Pro Strong What Color Pants to Wear With Brown Shoes of the judge's whims, and it failed to modify the public opinion. Or rather, that was one of the reason why it failed, but there was another and better one. If the judge had stopped with bare assertion, it would have had a good deal of effect; but he made the mistake of trying to prove his position. For some years Wilson had been privately at Air Jordan 20s work on a whimsical almanac, for his amusement a calendar, with a little dab of ostensible philosophy, usually in ironical form, appended to each date; and the judge thought that these quips and fancies of Wilson's were neatly turned and cute; so he carried a handful of them around one day, and read them to some of the chief citizens. But Air Jordan Women Size irony was not for those people; their mental vision was not focused for it. They read those playful trifles in the solidest terms, and decided without hesitancy that if there had ever been any doubt that Dave Wilson was a pudd'nhead which there hadn't this revelation removed that doubt for good and all. That is just the way in aOlernKienOP Air Jordan 9s labeling standards kick in this world; an enemy can partly ruin a man, but it takes a good natured injudicious friend to complete the thing and make it perfect. After this the aOlernKienOP Nike KD 7 Is America too big to fail judge felt tenderer than ever toward Wilson, and surer than ever that his calendar had merit.
Judge Driscoll could be a freethinker and still hold his place in society because he was the person of most consequence to the community, and therefore could venture to go his own way and follow out his own notions. The other member of his pet organization was allowed the like liberty because he was a cipher in the estimation of the public, and nobody attached any importance to what he thought or did. He was liked, he was welcome enough all around, but he simply didn't count for anything.
The Widow Cooper affectionately called "Aunt Patsy" by everybody lived in a snug and comely cottage with her daughter Rowena, who was nineteen, romantic, amiable, and very pretty, but otherwise of no consequence. Rowena had a couple of young brothers also of no consequence.
The widow had a large spare room, Air Jordan 18s which she let to a lodger, with board, when she could find one, but this room had been empty for a year now, to her sorrow. Her income was only sufficient for the family support, and she needed the lodging money for trifling luxuries. But now, at last, on a flaming June day, she found herself happy; her tedious wait was ended; her year worn advertisement had been answered; and not by a village applicant, no, no! this letter was from away off yonder in the dim great world to the North; it was from St. Louis. She sat on her porch gazing out with unseeing eyes upon the shining reaches of the mighty Mississippi, her thoughts steeped in her good fortune. Indeed it was specially good fortune, for she was to have two lodgers instead of one.
She had read the letter to the family, and Rowena had danced away to see to the cleaning and airing of the room by the slave woman, Nancy, and the boys had rushed abroad in the town to spread the great news, for it was a matter Air Jordan 9s of public interest, and the public would wonder and not be pleased if not informed. Presently Rowena returned, all ablush with joyous excitement, and begged for a rereading of the letter. It was framed thus:
HONORED MADAM: My brother and I have seen your advertisement, by chance, and beg leave to take the room you offer. We are twenty four years of age and twins. We are Italians Air Jordan 4s by birth, but have lived long in the various countries of Europe, and several years in the United States. Our names are Luigi and Angelo Capello. You desire but one guest; but, dear madam, if you will allow us to pay for two, we will not incommode you. We shall be down Thursday.
"Italians! How romantic! Just think, Ma there's never been one in this town, and everybody will be dying to see them, and they're all OURS! Think of that!"
"Yes, I reckon they'll make a grand stir."
"Oh, indeed they will. The whole town will be on its head! Think they've been in Europe and everywhere! There's never been a traveler in this town before, Ma, I shouldn't wonder if they've seen kings!"
"Well, a body can't tell, but they'll make stir enough, without that."
"Yes, that's of course. Luigi Angelo. They're lovely names; and so grand and foreign not like Jones and Robinson and such. Thursday they are coming, and this is only Tuesday; it's a cruel long time to wait. Here comes Judge Driscoll in at the gate. He's aOlernKienOP Air Jordan 6 Rings Mens Nike Free Running Shoes Sale heard about it. I'll go and open the door."
The judge Air Jordan 6s was full of congratulations and curiosity. The letter was read and discussed. Soon Justice Robinson arrived with more congratulations, and there was a new reading and a new discussion. This was the beginning. Neighbor after neighbor, of both sexes, followed, and the procession drifted in and out all day and evening and all Wednesday and Thursday. The letter was read and reread until it was nearly worn out; everybody admired its courtly and gracious tone, and smooth and practiced style, everybody was sympathetic and excited, and the Coopers were steeped in happiness all the while.
The boats were very uncertain in low water in these primitive times. This time the Thursday boat had not arrived at ten at night so the people Air Jordan 11s had waited at the landing all day for nothing; they were driven to their homes by a heavy storm without having had a view of the illustrious foreigners.
Eleven o'clock came; and the Cooper house was the only one in the town that still had lights burning. The rain and thunder were booming yet, and the anxious family were still waiting, still hoping. At last there was aOlernKienOP Air Jordan 9s Making Money Online from Home on a Shoe String Budget a knock at the door, and the family jumped to open it. Two Negro men entered, each carrying a trunk, and proceeded upstairs toward the guest room. Then entered the twins the handsomest, the best dressed, the most distinguished looking pair of young fellows the West had ever seen. One was a little fairer than the other, but otherwise they were exact duplicates.

The Isotta Fraschini T8 and T12 are Italian concept cars revealed in 1996 and 1998 respectively as an attempt by Isotta Fraschini to resurrect their prestigious luxury automotive brand name of the early 20th century.

Attempted Resurrection of Isotta Fraschini Cars
Popularity of Isotta Fraschini cars grew in the 1920s. The firm started out importing French cars to Italy in 1900, but by 1907 had begun making their own cars. With the exception of an attempt to get back into cars in the late 1940s, they focused on trucks (until the 1960s) and marine engines. After a pause that lasted nearly half a century, Isotta Fraschini returned to the passenger car world in 1996 with the T8 concept, and followed up in 1998 with the T12 concept. However, neither cars were put into production, and the firm went into bankruptcy in 1999. The company kept in other businesses and is currently represented by two subjects: Isotta Fraschini Milano, s.r.l. (luxury goods) and Isotta Fraschini Motori S.p.A.  (marine, industrial and rail traction engines).

T8 Coupé
The number 8 is recurrent in the brand. Their last model was the 1947-1949 Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8C Monterosa which barely reached prototype. The Isotta Fraschini T8 is an aluminum bodied 2+2 Spider, but available with a hard-top, and was first publicly seen at the 1996 Geneva Motor Show. Production would have been undertaken at an-ex military weapons plant in Southern Italy but nothing materialized. Late in 2000 the remaining hardware was sold off.

Drivetrain
The Isotta Fraschini T8 concept used Audi A8 mechanicals, including four-wheel-drive and the same 4172cc 32-valve V8 engine.

T12 Coupé
The Isotta Fraschini T12, like the T8, is an aluminium bodied, 4-wheel drive 2+2 Spider, available with a hard-top. It was first unveiled in 1998.

Drivetrain
The T12 Coupé had a V12 engine with 400 hp. at 6000rpm, vented disc brakes, and 4 wheel drive.

The Philippines will restart the deployment of workers to South Korea after entry restrictions into the country were lifted, the Department of Labor and Employment announced Sunday.
Secretary Silvestre Bello III said that the DOLE has ordered the Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) to start processing the deployment of workers to our Asian neighbor.
"This is a very good news not only to our EPS (entry permit system) workers and their families, but also to the Korean employers who have been waiting for our workers to return," Bello said in an emailed statement.
Bello's statement came after Korea's Ministry of Employment and Labor (MOEL) announced on Friday that it will allow the entry of workers under its EPS from all sending countries including the Philippines.
The entry of workers under the EPS is expected to start before the end of November, with thousands of workers waiting for the deployment since last year.

Taking down houses
When did this happen, more or less?Mid-2004. These situations are really problematic, they're inconceivable. I say the worst, the most problematic are the routine actions that provoke more hatred than all the other kinds. I mean, entering a house unjustifiably. In Gaza, for example, the decision about which house to demolish is flippant, you won't believe to what extent. It is taken at very low echelons. I mean by a lieutenant.
A lieutenant is a guy who could be two and a half years into his army service?Yes, come on, you are designated an area. The guy in charge of army D-9 bulldozers comes along, and tells you, "Come on, come on now, what about those houses over there?" He looks at your map, points to, "1203, 1204, what about these? What about these? Well, do I take them down? Take them down?"
Why take them down?You consider your mission and want to have maximum visibility. So you say, "Yes, take them down."
What's "your mission"?Making sure that… really, draw two lines, a kind of strip. Now in this strip, no one moves. Armed, unarmed – no one moves. No one. I guess we're trying to put a stop to Qassam launchings, clean out an area. Now there are houses there that get in your line of vision, so you take them down.
How is it done?Never mind taking them down.
But how?Someone comes to you and says, "Wait, take down this house and that house?" So you answer him, "Yes, take down this one and that one". So he says, "What about that one? No? That one… Okay, I'll take down that one for you, too." Now, this is the home of a family. When I talk about houses, I mean they're homes. We're not talking about greenhouses here. I mean, greenhouses are a source of livelihood for the people who… windowed greenhouse. I don't know if there are farmers here, who will probably be alarmed to hear, but with greenhouses the D-9s are not even specifically instructed to take down, they simply take them down.
Extend authority?Yes, dozens of dunams of greenhouses. This is long-term damage. Someone paid for these greenhouses. Someone makes a living out of them, tries to live. Now, how do you take down a house? You see shocking things. More than that, how do you enter a house? How do you enter a house in Gaza? You're not just going to enter a house, let's face it, you're afraid. So first a D-9 comes along and…
Talk me through this: How do you do a "straw widow"?That's when you take over a house, camouflaged, people don't know you're there, and if something develops you are able to respond.
So tell me how it worked in your own unit.Nowadays, we're afraid to enter a house. It's not like in the West Bank, any force can be targeted, and because of this fear, a D-9 is brought along, it's bullet-proof, and it digs a ditch all around, 360 degrees. It's like an anti-tank ditch. It breaks a hole in the house wall with its shovel… Sounds like it's breaking a door in, but actually it's breaking the whole wall. This break takes place while the people are still inside.
What do you mean? I can be sitting at home and… you're talking about the home of a terrorist? A wanted man?No, not a wanted man, a house. That you need to take over because you've decided it's strategically situated.
Just a moment, I'm sitting at home. Suddenly you see the shovel of a bulldozer and you've got a hole in your house wall.I'm talking proportion to you, you see families coming out with these white rags, with their children, and a white rag, waving it so that they won't be shot by the army because they've been chased out of their home. You see them there like a row of ducks. So families come out holding these rags in order not to be shot by the soldiers because they're walking where they're not supposed to be seen walking, because the area is… under curfew, one must not be seen walking around in it. So they walk with a white flag because they have been driven out of their homes. I suppose this happens following large terrorist attacks. I mean, it happens very rarely, that one suddenly digs a ditch around a home and… Whenever the army decides to clean up a strip.
Once every two months? I mean, very seldom, to very specific houses, I take it?No, not that seldom.
When does it happen?When Qassams are launched.
But Qassams are launched every day?Yes. It happens when the army decides to go in. That's what it does in Gaza.
You think it's a necessary measure that stops Qassams?I think that in order to stop the Qassams every action should be taken, but not to hurt the… not to compromise dignity and property to such an extent. These actions can be carried out differently. I mean, if a house has to be requisitioned, they can be told to leave, with loudspeakers, or not to demolish the whole house before entering it.
Why is this not done?When we asked – after all "straw widow" is supposed to be covert – we said, "Wait, but the whole house will be seen anyway. People will realize we've entered this house." So we were told, yes, we do this to another 3-4 houses which will not be entered. That makes a lot of sense, to show that… So people will not know where exactly the army is, so another four houses are demolished for nothing. A ditch is dug around them… Same procedure. Dig, demolish… Take the shovel in broad daylight… Take out the families.
The families must not enter the house for how long?Ever.
What do you mean, "ever"? How does it work? I'm a family. My home is broken up with a shovel, I realize I must evacuate, I go out holding a white rag, I come back tomorrow? When do I return?You return, I think…
Do I ever return?You return if you want to see the… Yes, I think you return to see what your house looks like after all of this, but you… you're not told when. You are simply sent away. Go, go. Go to your cousins. Go to your family. Just go. It's horrible.
So when I hear on the radio that "The IDF has razed so and so square kilometers…" what am I supposed to understand? This is what you understand. You understand it has demolished buildings in order to open up a field of vision. You understand that it did so to another 3-4 buildings for nothing, and that is just one unit. Think about controlling such an area, covering the whole region. You need at least eight units. Make a simple calculation how many houses are being demolished. Eight times four. Something like that.
In one mission following a Qassam launching.Yes.
That's not a little.No, for nothing. None of these people are terrorists. Now you put it right, there's shooting, it must be stopped, but I want to emphasize the lack of control. When I stood there and saw how things were done, I wondered: Is there any serious authority around here? At least a battalion commander, taking the decision to demolish a house? This line of battalion commanders, as is now the custom in the Israeli army, are saying: This is your designated area, you decide what to do. Because it creates… perhaps people like you and me would try to destroy as little as possible, but there are people who are capable of sowing devastation as much as they please. Every house is a world unto itself. Think everyone should think of their own home. Here, my home has been demolished. So if it's a must, let it be, but if not then I ask, I'm asking here: if this is how a controlled army functions, an army that considers itself really under control. I think it is, too, but not enough. First of all, it's terrible that Qassams are being launched, but the IDF… I witnessed uncontrolled action. If at least we would exert control, do it as sterile as possible, they would at least understand that it's sterile. Well, at least they would think: The Israelis have a right to defend themselves and they do it as locally and minimally as… But here there's no minimum consideration, if a lieutenant decides that this and this goes, then the tractor driver says, "Okay I'll down this one and that one for you, and that one too."
And finally he takes them down? He takes them down.Sure he does.
Who's the driver of that tractor?Some sergeant.
A 19-year old kid?Yes. He tells his commander, himself a first sergeant, "Listen, I'll take down for you this and that and that one, looks like they're in the way." If you're a commander with a lot of patience, you tell him, "No, no way"… But you don't have the patience, nor the time. You have to look out for your men. Sometimes he takes them down. And the areas, the dunams of greenhouses being razed. So if it's done in a very controlled manner… But first of – no. And then it must be done with more control, and we don't. .. What happens now is that the way we do it plays much more into the hands of evil, and the results are opposite the ones we want. I mean, they create a lot more hatred and a lot more anger.

Animal Rebellion Occupies RSPCA HQ
Posted in Press By Press & SMPosted on 8th August 2022 8th August 2022
Around 50 individuals from Animal Rebellion have today occupied the national headquarters of the RSPCA, calling on the charity to support a fair transition to a plant-based food system for animals and the planet.
Animal Rebellion says they are engaging with managers and staff, but also using the space to hold workshops and training for their supporters. A banner has been hung inside the building. It reads: 'Be Part of a Plant-Based Future'.
One of those to occupy the building is Jane Tredgett, a former vice-chair of the National RSPCA and former board member of RSPCA Assured.
Today's action marks an escalation in Animal Rebellion's plant-based future campaign, as the group calls on the RSPCA to be part of a plant-based future. This comes after the group disrupted the Queen's Platinum Jubilee weekend in June and poured out milk onto the floor of Harrod's in July [1].
Jane, a former vice-chair of the National RSPCA and former board member of RSPCA Assured, said: "There are so many reasons for the RSPCA to lead the world in a move to a just plant-based food system. Its founders, 200 years ago, were brave and forward-thinking, standing up against injustice when others would not. It would be a fitting recognition of their legacy if the RSPCA now supported a plant-based future. We know that a plant-based future would prevent the unnecessary suffering of billions of animals whilst freeing up enough land to plant trees and draw-down carbon from the atmosphere."
Alongside her is Martin Whybrow, a former RSPCA branch trustee. He added: "Already, millions of people and animals are suffering from the effects of extreme climate change. Last month's record-breaking heatwave and wildfires in the UK were a stark warning for what is to come if we do not act now. A shift to a plant-based food system would help to enable us to meet the targets needed to limit global warming and ensure a livable future for all. It makes total sense for a charity dedicated to animal welfare to join the dots. For all the good work it does, there is a massive disconnect at present that means animals are suffering on farms and in the wild."
This is the latest step in what is now an ongoing campaign targeting the RSPCA. A delegation from Animal Rebellion previously met with RSPCA senior managers on 4/5/22 [2] to convey their demands [3]. Animal Rebellion says the written response they received from the RSPCA following the meeting lacked any urgency, substance or commitment to change, triggering today's occupation.
Animal Rebellion says they plan to heavily disrupt the supply of dairy to UK supermarkets "day after day" this September as they continue calls for the Government to support farmers in a transition to a plant-based future [4].

– Today I feel like "muslim" has become synonymous with "terrorist" or "fundamentalist". There are around 1,5 billion muslims around the world today, and I'm guessing most of them are really nice. With this run I want to question my own prejudices, learn more about a culture I know little about and meet a lot of people. I hope my run will contribute to more openness, trust and tolerance both within myself but also in the world, says Kristina.
To make sure Kristina truely was alone our cameraman was only with her on the road in Iran during 8 out of the total 58 days it took Kristina to cross Iran.

If you know me. You know I love to eat.
As a former fat kid, I am an expert on consuming foods of all varieties. I remember growing up our weekly ritual of going to the grocery store , 'Super 1 Foods.' It was a warehouse of joy and fun for me. All of my best friends were there – and for some reason all on the cereal aisle: Captain Crunch, Toucan Sam, Lucky the Leprechaun, and of course Snap, Crackle & Pop (my mom could make a MEAN Rice Krispies Treat).
We were tight – I loved them like a fat kid, well, the way I loved cake. Cake is also good.
Since I'm from the South, I am no stranger to comfort food. Home cooking is the BEST – roast, mashed potatoes, chicken fried steak, home baked pies – all the things. All of them.
Since my arrival, New York City has shed some new light on the term "comfort food" for me.
Transitioning to a new city is difficult. Your whole routine is shocked and catapulted into this purgatory where your normal is no longer possible. Everything is strange and you spend most of your time learning how to navigate spending your time.
While staying with that family (who again was wonderful), my time after work was a challenge. What do I do? I don't really want to go 'home' because it didn't feel like home at all. I felt like a guest that had to creep around and hide in my room.
My first option was this quaint little coffee shop – just a few tables with some disheveled chairs and a low rumble of chatting friends, giggling lovers, and the thunderous silence of students studying in an effort to make it through their next exam. It was typically decorated with little creativity. It looked a lot like a Starbucks.
Fine. I'll stop romanticizing my experience strolling the city at night. While those little coffee shops exist I steered clear of them. I wanted nothing to do with the unknown – I had had my fill. Starbucks was safe, familiar, and stability in a life I had so dramatically disrupted.
But alas, even in a city that never sleeps, some Starbucks still close (which is false advertising, but I digress).
There I was – alone, cranky (because that Reduced-Fat Cinnamon Swirl Coffee Cake did NOT do the trick), and fearful of a night un-satiated. I wandered again through the city and passed people all making their way with intention and purpose.
Do I wander "home" and go to bed hungry or die in the streets of hunger?
Alright, admittedly this is a pretty dramatic retelling of a ridiculously lame evening, but I had never been more thrilled to see some sad version of Tex-mex in my life. It beckoned to me like an old friend I'd not seen in years, but knew we could immediately pick up where we left off. It was joy, something I knew well, and most importantly and old friend that provided comfort.
And it still is – it makes wherever you are feel like home, and I'm making New York home one Grande Americano and Chipotle Chicken Burrito at time.
