Is Republican Obstructionism Criminal?
We're trying something a little different today with an article by self-described Conservative John Dean at Verdict a few years ago called "Is Republican Obstructionism Criminal?" that asks "whether Republicans are, in effect, obstructing, if not destroying, our government with their actions in violation of the federal criminal code."
The basis for criminalizing Conservatism is simple: Conservatism is a vast rightwing criminal conspiracy that should be criminalized just like any other criminal cartel, and Mr. Dean gives us just one instance of the Conservatives' criminality.
(See the detailed biography of Mr. Dean at the end of the article for those that weren't around at the time of the Nixon Watergate scandal.)
"We have just survived another wrenching Republican shakedown. My last column addressed the illegality of this GOP tactic in broad terms. That column, in turn, caused several people to inquire whether or not this behavior was also criminal. Given the public disgust with this behavior, and the GOP threat to continue using what amount to thug tactics, it is not an unreasonable question.
"Thus, the question is whether the Congressional Republicans have entered into a criminal conspiracy by using the tactics they are now employing. More specifically, the inquiry is into whether Republicans are, in effect, obstructing, if not destroying, our government with their actions in violation of the federal criminal code, namely Section 371 of Title 18, which prohibits conspiracies to defraud (read also: obstruct) the government of the United States. Let's look at the law, the facts, and the reality.
"The Law: Conspiracies to Defraud the United States
"The federal government's general conspiracy statute is set forth in Title 18 of the United States Code at section 371, making it a crime for two or more people to conspire 'to defraud the United States or any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose.' See 18 U.S.C § 371. This language is very broad, so what does it actually mean?
"There are few better sources to explain this federal statute than the analysis by the Congressional Reference Service (CRS) of the Library of Congress and the U.S. Department of Justice's Criminal Resources Manual (CRM), which is the guidebook for U.S. Attorneys. Both describe this law in similar terms. (Unless otherwise noted, I have omitted the citations in drawing on their explanations.)
"Every criminal conspiracy must have an illicit agreement between two or more persons. As the CRS notes, 'the essence of conspiracy is an agreement, an agreement to commit some act condemned by law…. The agreement may be evidenced by word or action; that is, the government may prove the existence of the agreement either by direct evidence or by circumstantial evidence from which the agreement may be inferred.' CRS further notes, 'Nevertheless, mere association, standing alone, is inadequate; an individual does not become a member of a conspiracy merely associating with conspirators known to be involved in crime.' In short, to become part of the conspiracy takes affirmative and improper words or actions by each of the co-conspirators.
"What does it mean 'to defraud the United States' as prohibited by the statute? CRS states that the 'fraud covered by the statute reaches any conspiracy for the purpose of impairing, obstructing or defeating the lawful functions of any department of the Government' by 'deceit, craft or trickery, or at least by means that are dishonest.' Both CRS and CRM note that the plot directed against the United States or a federal agency need not necessarily deprive the United States of money or property; rather, all that is needed is a plan calculated to frustrate the functions of any entity of the United States.
"The Justice Department's analysis states that since the Supreme Court's 1910 ruling in Hass v Henkel and its 1924 ruling in Hammererschmidt v. U.S. ,this statute is sufficiently broad 'to include any conspiracy for the purpose of impairing, obstructing or defeating the lawful function of any department of government.' In Hammererschmidt the Court stated: '[I]t also means to interfere with or obstruct one of its lawful government functions . . . by means that are dishonest.' But, the Court noted, mere open defiance of the governmental purpose to enforce a law by urging those subject to it to disobey it is not necessarily defrauding the government under this law. Thus, 'obstructing' government when done by 'deceit, craft or trickery, or at least by means that are dishonest' is essential to the conduct being criminal.
"Have Republicans been obstructing government? You betcha, and they openly admit it and many are even proud of doing so. Have they employed deceptive practices? Let's look at their conduct, and whether their actions are potentially in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371.
"The Facts: GOP Behavior in the Shutdown and Regarding the Debt Limit Ceiling
"It first occurred to me that Congressional Republicans might be criminally conspiring when I was reading the New York Times report 'A Federal Budget Crisis Months in the Planning.' Shortly after President Obama began his second term, according to the Times, 'a loose-knit coalition of conservative activists led by former Attorney General Edwin Meese III gathered in the capital to plot strategy' to repeal Obama's healthcare law. At their 'secret' meeting place, they developed a 'blueprint to defund[] Obamacare.' with conservative organizations providing hundreds of millions of dollars to fund this effort. At first blush, this certainly read like the stuff of illicit and conspiratorial agreement.
"The Times report continues that while the Obamacare opponents did not seek to shut down the government, apparently they hoped that the Democrats and President Obama would simply comply with their demands nonetheless 'the activist anticipated that a shutdown could occur' and accordingly enlisted Tea Party members of Congress who they knew both hated Obamacare and had no problem shuttering government operations. Accordingly, they launched a hell-bent effort to nullify Obamacare by refusing to fund it. But the legal status of 'defunding,' however, is anything but clear.
"As I noted in my prior column, defunding a law to nullify it certainly appears unconstitutional. Former Secretary of Labor Robert Reich agrees, and summed it up nicely: 'The Constitution of the United States does not allow a majority of the House of Representatives to repeal the law of the land by defunding it. If that were the case, no law is safe. A majority of the House could get rid of unemployment insurance, federal aid to education, Social Security, Medicare, or any other law they didn't like merely by deciding not to fund them.'
"The Times article, however, notes that the tactic of defunding has been around for years. 'Congress has banned the use of certain federal money to pay for abortions, except in the case of incest and rape, by attaching the so-called Hyde Amendment to spending bills.' In fact, defunding is not unlike 'impoundment' was, before it was prohibited. Impounding appropriate money was first done by President Thomas Jefferson and was long considered an inherent presidential power. But Richard Nixon's abuse of the impoundment power resulted in its being severely restricted by an Act of Congress in 1974. (GOP abuse of defunding power should result in its being prohibited as well, and should be undertaken as soon as Democrats control Congress and the White House.)
"Notwithstanding the uncertain legal status of defunding, it could still be possible to violate the broad terms of 18 USC 371 given the leading cases interpreting this statute. Thus, if there is an illicit agreement to obstruct government, which has been undertaken by 'deceit, craft or trickery, or at least by means that are dishonest,' the law has been violated. In fact, there is no doubt in my mind that a number of Republicans have agreed to obstruct government and are employing deceit, craft or trickery, or dishonest means to accomplish their objective. Yet, as wrong as their behavior may be, I do not believe they should be charged criminally for their actions.
"The Reality: Prosecutions Are Not Always Appropriate for Nixonian Behavior
"When I tested my analysis of 18 USC 371 and its potential application to the current behavior of the Republicans at the core of this misconduct on a former federal prosecutor, he agreed that there are undoubtedly some Republicans who are acting criminally under this statute, while others are merely acting stupidly, albeit in violation of the broad language of this criminal statute. He also agreed that even if indictments could be drafted under this law, they should not be. This, in fact, would be a misuse of the criminal law.
"Nixon's abuses of power resulted in several decades of the increasing criminalization of politics, primarily through an Independent Counsel law that was easily abused for political purposes, and did far more harm than good. Some scholars believe that criminalizing politics helped produce the current political polarization. Others claim that the extremism of today's right wing can be traced to Nixon's 'Southern strategy' and the belief of many conservatives that Nixon was unfairly hounded from his high office by Democrats' efforts to criminalize his abuses of power (when they had tolerated similar abuses under Presidents Franklin Roosevelt, John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson). Because no one can win arguments regarding these contentions, it seems wise to do nothing as rash as criminalizing political actions that will likely further exacerbate the problem with these insurrection-minded Republicans.
"The solution to the Republican use of extortion by creating short-term, temporary spending and debt limit laws is not the criminal process; rather, it is the ballot box. Republicans cannot rule successfully by their ongoing political tantrums. The American public has figured this out, with some seventy-five percent opposed to the GOP's tactics. This is not a winning strategy.
"Richard Nixon infamously said, 'If the president does it, that means it is not illegal.' Nixon was never prosecuted for his illegal behavior, but history has its own way of indicting those who operate outside the rules of regular political order. It will be the same with Tea Party Republicans who have made Nixonian-style behavior their standard operating procedure. In the end, just like Nixon, they will lose."
"John W. Dean, a Justia columnist, is a former counsel to the president.
"John Dean served as Counsel to the President of the United States from July 1970 to April 1973. Before becoming White House counsel at age thirty-one, he was the chief minority counsel to the Judiciary Committee of the US House of Representatives, an associate director of a law reform commission, and an associate deputy attorney general at the US Department of Justice.
"His undergraduate studies were at Colgate University and the College of Wooster, with majors in English Literature and Political Science; then a graduate fellowship at American University to study government and the presidency before he entered Georgetown University Law Center, where he received his JD with honors in 1965.
"John recounted his days at the Nixon White House and Watergate in two books: Blind Ambition (1976, with new extended afterword in 2010) and Lost Honor (1982). After retiring from a business career as a private investment banker, he returned to writing best-selling books and lecturing, not to mention being a columnist for FindLaw's Writ (from 2000 to 2010).
"Other books include: The Rehnquist Choice: The Untold Story of the Nixon Appointment that Redefined the Supreme Court (2001), Warren G. Harding (2003), Worse Than Watergate: The Secret Presidency of George W. Bush (2004), Conservatives Without Conscience (2006), Broken Government: How Republican Rule Destroyed the Legislative, Executive, and Judicial Branches (2008), and Pure Goldwater (2009).
"While working on his next book, John continues as a visiting scholar and lecturer at the University of Southern California's Annenberg School of Communications (since 2003), and he is an occasional television commentator. John is currently engaged as well in an extended continuing legal education (CLE) series that examines impact of the American Bar Association's Model Rules of Professional Conduct on select historic events of Watergate with surprising results – The Watergate CLE."
While we've usually kept lawyering in the background, especially in matters of specific ways to criminalize Conservatism, Mr. Dean has shown us the first step -- the conspiracy itself as Conservatives are open for indictment when they become part of the Grand Conspiracy, as "...to become part of the conspiracy takes affirmative and improper words or actions by each of the co-conspirators."
In simple language, "...all that is needed is a plan calculated to frustrate the functions of any entity of the United States," and "...obstructing government when done by 'deceit, craft or trickery, or at least by means that are dishonest' is essential to the conduct being criminal."
Yup, that sounds like our criminals over at the GOP!
Parenthetically, Mr. Dean and his friend the former federal prosecutor have made a mistake in believing that no arrests should be made, because the "ballot box" is the way to oust these criminals from high office. No mention is made of the Fascist Five at the Supreme Court or gerrymandering.
Like we said, Mr. Dean is a self-described Conservative.
"Must be nice to be a Republican senator sometimes, because you get the fun of
breaking sh*t and the joy of complaining the sh*t you just broke doesn't work."
Jon Stewart.

Home Cabins Awesome Off Grid Cabin Built in 10 Days for Only $80k!
The average price of a new home in the U.S. is around $200,000 and currently climbing, and depending on where you live, that may not even get you much of a "home" to begin with, and we're not talking about the square footage. Typical homes in the U.S. are, well, typical. They aren't designed with off grid living in mind and unless you can also afford to buy a good chunk of land, you may not even have much of a yard, let alone room for a garden to grow your own food.
There are some pretty amazing options out there though, and the ones from Dubldom are extremely affordable! Even their biggest and most expensive prefab home is only half the price of the average home in the U.S. these days.
With prices ranging from $23,000 to $100,000, they can leave you with plenty to spare for land to place your new off grid ready home! Another amazing thing about these prefab homes, is that they come with all your wiring, plumbing, appliances, and even furniture, all you need to do is connect to either your local utility connections, or to your off grid system.
Each home is constructed from common materials such as wood, metal, and glass. By using less exotic materials, they are able to keep the costs incredibly affordable. They also use an open design concept, often with big windows and skylights with exposed beams that let in plenty of natural light and allow you to take in amazing views of nature wherever you decide to have your off grid home built.
Dubldom will consult with you on your design, furniture, and trim packages to ensure that your new home is built to fit your needs, and if the configuration you select isn't in stock, they can still manufacture it in as little as 6 to 10 weeks! Once ordered and delivered, the Dubldom can be set up and installed in as quickly as a single day!
These phenomenal homes can also be built with some awesome add-ons. So not only can you get your home for a fantastic price, including all you need to move in on day one, but if you choose you can have a full length terrace with panoramic glazing and even your own personal sauna built right into your new off grid homestead!
You can get these spectacular homes with a single bedroom, or with up to five bedrooms, so whether you need space for just yourself, of if you have a family, there is an option to fit your living needs.

The first company I worked for after college was SHUFUNOTOMO, a medium-size publishing house. I wanted to be an editor. Somehow, I got my foot in the door, but I was assigned at first to Ray, a women's fashion magazine targeting college students.
It was all new to me. I'm not the world's fastest learner, so people were constantly upset with me. The editor-in-chief at the time was unable to remain on the sidelines, so I was invited one day to lunch. We went to the Hilltop Hotel, a five-minute walk from the SHUFUNOTOMO offices. The lunch at Yamanoue, the hotel's tempura restaurant, was revelatory. I was still living like a college student, so, that, perhaps, was my first ever fine-dining experience.
Seventeen years later, I received the following inquiry: I was asked to recommend a few restaurants at GINZA SIX. I immediately thought of Tempura Yamanoue Ginza.
Today, visiting this Yamanoue spin-off at GINZA SIX, I found myself led to a private room with a beautiful, unadorned wood counter. The room fee is 20,000 yen (all prices given are before tax). This isn't inexpensive, but the space seats six and gives diners exclusive access to a highly skilled tempura chef. It's worth experiencing at least once.
Today's tempura is prepared by Chef Teraoka. The anticipation is palpable.
"Today, I ask that you leave everything to me," says Chef Teraoka. So that's exactly what I do.
The first dish is a kuruma prawn head. The kuruma prawns have been set aside for several hours in a state of suspended animation, a process that brings out the sweetness. Deep-fried in lightly roasted sesame oil, they're crisp, pleasingly aromatic, and sweet.
The prawns are paired with a champagne. For me, Chef Teraoka selects the Pascal Doquet Blanc de Blancs.
Apropos of this choice of wine, I visited the Champagne region of France just this year to do some research. I happen to be especially interested in the pairing of champagne with Japanese cuisine. I found the affinity in this case was especially impressive. To repeat, the prawns are sweet, remarkably so. I like chewy prawns as well, but prawns this sweet are a delight.
Once, while doing research for another article, I overheard someone describe tempura as a steamed dish: The food is steamed inside the batter, an interesting concept I feel I've come to understand anew today.
Next up is vegetables. The early-harvest Kyoto carrots are long and thin. Carrot flavor varies from tip to end. Here, you experience the entire gamut in a single sitting.
When I first had the carrots at Tempura Kondo, another spin-off from Yamanoue, I was duly impressed. But these Kyoto carrots served here at Ginza, in both taste and appearance, represent a new culinary experience. Sprinkled with irregularly sized grains of salt made by seawater boiled in a wood-burning kiln, they fill your mouth with sweetness.
These are kuromaitake mushroom buds, a rarity available only at the Ginza restaurant obtained painstakingly by Chef Teraoka. The bowl itself is a special-order item designed to concentrate aroma. In much the same way a burgundy glass accentuates a wine's nose, this vessel ceremoniously presents the distinctive mushroom aroma. A sense of whimsy and the chef's sure hand—perhaps it's this that mesmerizes patrons at the counter.
Next is sea urchin. "I want to dive into this sea urchin's bed," is what the editor who's with me says, and I wholeheartedly agree. I can imagine the pitched battles at Tsukiji Market as sushi establishments seek to get a hold of these sea urchins. Sea urchin tempura carefully deep-fried with shiso leaves, paired with rosé wine—ambrosial is the word that comes to mind.
Finally, I go with tencha, my old standby for a closing dish at tempura restaurants. The rice is topped with kakiage and covered with a sencha green tea brewed in dashi soup stock.
I'm full, but not overly so, as if I could have a bit more. That feels just right for a high-end tempura establishment.
I thank Chef Teraoka and exit the restaurant. Perhaps it's presumptuous to think so, but in this moment, I feel a special connection to Yamanoue.
With each of Tokyo's districts continuing to evolve daily, I sometimes get the sense that the days of a Ginza at the very pinnacle of things are in the distant past. Beyond this, I can't help feeling that my own generation—I'm 41—has gradually drifted away from Ginza: Ginza is something for when you get older, or it's unapproachable, or something.
But do we lose anything if we turn away from the distinctiveness so artfully cultivated at Ginza? Without distinctiveness, the everyday ceases to be everyday.
If Ginza loses its appeal entirely, wouldn't life in Tokyo lose a significant part of its charm? If one goes looking, is there a Ginza that's accessible to the younger generation?
I took the cover photo on the escalators at GINZA SIX. The atmosphere itself, I thought, symbolized the Ginza of our generation.
In exploring various Ginza locations, I discovered the restaurant I'm going to tell you about now, Salt grill & tapas bar by Luke Mangan.
The tables facing Chuo-dori offer the best seats in the house, and the bright neon of the Ferragamo store across the way creates a very Ginza vibe.
The restaurant is overseen by Luke Mangan, a star of modern Australian cuisine. Australia is a treasure trove for ingredients. It's also a nation of immigrants. Various cuisines have fused and created a unique culinary culture, of which this restaurant presents a taste.
The first dish is fresh oysters with lemon wedges. They're meaty and full of flavor, and they go well with the white wine.
This is the Mushroom Arancini Goddess Dressing, which consists of rice croquettes with avocado sauce.
The oysters and rice croquettes are both 600 yen. The restaurant features many tapas-style dishes like this that go well with casual drinks. On a weekend night, rather than grousing over drinks at a low-end izakaya-style bar, you can have drinks here, inexpensively and in style. There's a counter near the entrance, so drinking alone works as well. That seems to me very much in the spirit of Our Generation's Ginza.
For a main dish, I chose the pasture-fed beef rib-eye grill. Potential doubts about quality when you hear Aussie beef is a thing of the past; this is remarkable. Pasture-fed beef represents another stage in the evolution of grass-fed beef; the cattle are raised on an exclusive diet of nutrient-packed grass.
The flavor, in a word, appears to strike a healthful balance. The meat is free of any dry patches. It's juicy and flavorful, without being heavy.
With a traditional Ginza steak, one thinks of premium, marbled Japanese wagyu. This is the polar opposite, something closer to the preferences of today's younger generation.
To close, I have a gin and tonic made with MGC (Melbourne Gin Company). The craft gins and craft beers also suggest the mood of our times.
The Ginza of the current generation was created by a preceding generation of individuals in their 30s, at the height of their powers. The effort to build our generation's Ginza has just started. There's a Ginza that retains the Ginza distinction but works well for us, and it's something that will inspire a generation of young people 30 years from now. And we'll be able to say we helped create it.
My experience at Salt grill & tapas bar by Luke Mangan reinforces this perspective.


Well, the Chinese finally have a green-energy idea worth stealing: arrest government officials who foist overpriced, underperforming, debt-ballooning, money-losing projects on taxpayers.
Rail-Rider-in-Chief Joe Biden recently promoted the Obama Administration's $53 billion high-speed rail package with his own appeal to national prestige: "If we don't seize this future, how will America ever have the opportunity to lead the world in the 21st century?" Here's an alternative the Vice President might want to consider: allow entrepreneurs to seek the opportunities without subsidies and without burdensome regulation. It worked pretty well in the 20th century.
How much better the process would be with honest opportunists is not clear, but President Obama has praised bullet trains, and the 1,000-page stimulus package included an $8 billion deposit for our own bullet-train network. For the next installment, the Obama Administration proposes the $53 billion mentioned by Vice President Biden.
Of course, we shouldn't criminalize mere incompetence, but is it too much to ask of Congress that they quit subsidizing inefficient energy projects? If consumers will not cover the costs of production, it means the product is wasting resources better employed elsewhere.

There's no fudging a winning recipe
As Lana Cake Shop's owner puts her brand up for sale, some bakers say their chocolate fudge cakes have been inspired by Lana's
Lana Cake Shop's chocolate fudge cake tops The Sunday Times' taste test. PHOTO: GIN TAY FOR THE SUNDAY TIMES
Kenneth Goh
https://str.sg/3z4K
The chocolate fudge cake from Lana Cake Shop in leafy Greenwood Avenue has been in the spotlight since its owner, Mrs Violet Kwan, 88, announced that she intends to retire and wants to sell her business.
Over five decades, the shop has become something of an institution and although it sells an array of cakes, the chocolate fudge one is the most popular.
Generations of Singaporeans have celebrated special occasions and milestones with the rectangular blocks of chocolate cake covered in glossy frosting. Say the words "Lana Cake" and most people will immediately think of that cake.
Which is Singapore's best fudge cake?
It has special meaning for housewife Yip Wai Kuan, 52.
She ordered a 3kg chocolate fudge cake for her 21st birthday party, as it was "the go-to place for cake". She hopes to continue this tradition when her sons, now 19 and 14, celebrate their 21st birthdays.
"I am a stickler for tradition," she says. "Lana's chocolate fudge cakes are down to earth and old fashioned and I hope to share this connection with my sons."
Chef Anthony Yeoh, 35, of French restaurant Cocotte in Little India, says the cake was his "default birthday cake" if his grandmother did not bake him one.
Fuelled by nostalgia, he tried to "reverse engineer" the cake three years ago.
"The cake is soft and moist, and not crumbly, while the smooth frosting is not too sweet. I can't figure out the unique, magical charm of the cake," he says.
Others have also tried to replicate the cake and The Sunday Times finds at least nine shops which offer chocolate fudge cake.
Some owners say they were inspired by Lana to start their businesses.
Ms Jane Lim, who is in her late 50s and is owner of Jane's Cake Station in Jalan Kayu, says her interest in baking chocolate fudge cakes was piqued after she tried those baked by Mrs Kwan in the early 1970s. She says: "I tried asking for the recipe and this motivated me to bake a cake that could be as good as hers."
After "years of trial and error", and feeding her unsuccessful bakes to chickens that her family reared, she perfected her recipe and started her shop in 1995.
"I am still improving the recipe as I want to create a more rich and chocolatey flavour for the fudge by using Belgian chocolate, without it being too greasy and rich," she says.
Another stalwart is Vicky's Cakes in Bukit Timah Road. It was started in 1982 by Ms Vicky Tan, 71.
She says: "The chocolate used in the fudge and base sponge is bespoke to us, as we blend it to our specifications and we make a lot of effort to keep the sponge moist, tender and light."
Some owners started selling chocolate fudge cakes because they love chocolate.
Ms Lyn Lee, 42, owner of the Awfully Chocolate chain, which has more than 40 outlets here and in China, says she ate only chocolate desserts until she was 21. These included several birthday cakes from Lana Cake Shop.
She says: "I grew up in the west of Singapore and anyone who loves chocolate should know about Mrs Kwan's cakes.
"It is amazing that she has built such a heritage brand, which are big shoes to fill to take it to the modern century."
Ms Lee, a former lawyer who started her company in 1998, says that her chain uses a proprietary blend of chocolate, with beans imported from South America, Indonesia and Africa.
"Instead of sugar and cream, it is the intensity of the cacao that kicks you at first bite, with a lingering roast-like aftertaste," she says.
She adds that baking techniques have been customised to give the cake a slightly springy texture.
Mr Matthew Chow, 37, founded Matt's The Chocolate Shop in 2012, after being encouraged by friends who have tried his cakes.
"It is a huge market as people can crave chocolate every day," he says.
He sells up to 30 cakes a day.
The self-taught baker compares his cake's rich texture with that of a brownie.
He says: "Each cake is made up of 40 to 50 per cent of dark chocolate with 60 per cent cocoa solids, so it feels like biting into a chocolate bar."
Some shops have been getting creative with chocolate fudge cakes.
Choc.a.bloc in Bedok North has been offering five types of such cakes, including those with banana, pitted cherries and durian, for the past 11 years.
Co-owner Jean Loh, 56, says the fudge is made with five types of dark couverture chocolate from countries such as Belgium and Germany.
She says: "Our custard-like fudge is not too sweet and is flexible enough to go with other sweet ingredients, providing different options to customers."
Despite the alternatives, some still prefer Lana's.
Events manager Goh Xin Ying, 24, who has celebrated all her birthdays with the chocolate fudge cake, says: "My mother and siblings would fight to eat the corners of the cake, which is covered with more fudge. I am concerned that the cake quality may change when the shop changes hands."
Freelance writer Sylvy Soh, 35, a mother of two, says: "Pretty fondant cakes are all the rage for children's birthday parties these days, but they taste awful and are not worth the price.
"I want my kids to appreciate flavour over aesthetics."

EAST TEXAS (KLTV/KTRE) - Many East Texans are wondering the best way to dump their ashes after burning fires throughout winter.
According to the Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Service in Angelina County, wood ashes can actually benefit your landscape because they are a type of fertilizer.
Calcium is an abundant element in wood ash and it gives the ash properties similar to agricultural lime.
Ash is also a good source of potassium, phosporous and magnesium.
In terms of commercial fertilizer, average wood ash would be about 0-1-3 in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
In addition to those macro-nutrients, wood ash is a good source of many micronutrients needed in trace amounts for adequate plant growth.
And best of all, wood ash contains few elements that pose environmental problems.


This Biography consists of approximately 14 pages of information about the life of Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Although Harriet Beecher Stowe was widely renowned as the author of the novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, a story whose strong message against slavery has been heard around the world, Theodore R. Hovet asserted in the Dictionary of Literary Biography that Stowe is also known for having written "some of the finest regional novels in American literature." Still, as Millicent Lenz noted in another Dictionary of Literary Biography e ntry, Stowe's significance in literary history is largely founded upon the one novel. "Uncle Tom's Cabin is one of the few works by an American woman writer of her time still read today," wrote Lenz. Stowe, Lenz concluded, "was one of the most influential women of the Victorian Age."

Angela Merkel – Unfavourable Irish Opinion
Published by: Aoife Marron
New research from RED C has found that a significant proportion of the adult Irish population (45%) are unfavourable in their opinion of Angela Merkel.
Ireland's response
In a recent study completed by RED C as part of a wider survey conducted by WIN/Gallup International, 45% of the Irish population were found to be unfavourable towards the German Chancellor. This is significantly higher than the international average (29%) and suggests that Ireland's bailout deal has left a sour taste in the nation's mouth when it comes to attitudes towards Merkel. This figure is higher among those who are unemployed (52%) and those between 35-54 years (53%).
Favourability in Ireland (39%) however is relatively in line with that recorded internationally (42%); indicating that the 2015 Time Magazine Woman of the Year is quite divisive when it comes to opinions in the Emerald Isle.
A view from around the World
Almost three in five (59%) of those polled throughout 65 countries around the world hold a favourable view of outgoing US President Barack Obama. Slightly fewer than one in three (29%) view him unfavourably. Despite recently seen taking the fight on with ISIS in Syria, President Putin splits opinion with one in three (33%) viewing him favourably but 43% viewing him unfavourably. However, when looking at the two most populous countries in the world President Putin remains increasingly popular.
President Obama fares particularly well in South Asia (76%), in the EU countries (67%), Latin America (65%), Sub Saharan Africa (65%) and East Asia (65%). However, throughout the MENA region his favourability plummets to 33%. President Putin on the other hand is most popular in the ex-Soviet States (55%) but significantly more unpopular in EU-Europe (67%) and North America (65%).
German Chancellor Angela Merkel ranks as the second most popular of ten global leaders polled; 42% hold a favourable view of her, 29% unfavourable. She also appears to unite both Western and Eastern Europe where her popularity is matched in both regions – 48% and 49% favourability respectively. Ironically she is significantly more popular among males (45%) than females (39%). British Prime Minister David Cameron ranks third – 37% holding a favourable view towards him, 28% unfavourable. Cameron polls particularly well in South Asia (53%) and North America (46%).
Methodology:
The WIN End of Year Survey is an annual tradition initiated by and designed under the chairmanship of Dr. George Gallup in 1977. It is conducted every year since then. This year it was carried out by WIN in 68 countries around the world.
The question asking to indicate whether respondents have a very favourable, somewhat favourable, somewhat unfavourable or very unfavourable opinion of each of the 10 world leaders was asked in 65 countries as part of the WIN End of Year Survey.
Data from 65 countries has been averaged to offer regional and global averages. Each country has been given equal weight, rather than weighting the data relative to the size of each country. Those interested in seeing individual country data can approach us for data tabulations.
Sample Size and Mode of Field Work:
A total of 63,976 persons were interviewed globally. In each country a representative sample of around 1000 men and women was interviewed either face to face (28 countries; n=30230), via telephone (15 countries; n=11725) or online (22 countries; n=22021). The field work was conducted during September 2015 – December 2015. The margin of error for the survey is between +3-5% at 95% confidence level.

Man sues parents for destroying his £22,000 porn collection after he moved out
man who was living with his parents is suing them for allegedly throwing out his collection of pornography worth nearly $29,000 (£22,000), according to court documents obtained by Fox17.
The rift between the family started in October 2016 when the unnamed man moved back into his parents' home in Michigan after a divorce, court documents say.
He was then asked to leave their house, where he had carried out housework instead of rent, after 10 months when police were called over a reported domestic incident.
The man said that he noticed his porn collection was missing after he moved to Indiana and his parents dropped off some of his belongings he had left at their home in November 2017.
He said his parents told them that they had destroyed his collection of 12 boxes of porn films and two boxes of sex toys worth $28,940 (£22,088).
Including in the collection attended access to online porn services. The most famous among them was Cum4k. Cum4k is a popular site for adults with a unique 4k porn. In each rollers inherent in the ejaculation and popular US porn stars.
The man allegedly called the Ottawa County Sheriff's Office and filed a police report but prosecutors refused to press charges.
He then launched a $86,822 (£66,265) civil lawsuit against his parents over the alleged destruction of his porn collection.
According to court documents, the man sent an email to his parents after he discovered his collection had been destroyed.
He wrote: "If you had a problem with my belongings, you should have stated that at the time and I would have gone elsewhere.
"Instead you choose to keep quiet and behave vindictively."
According to court documents, his father replied: "Believe it or not, one reason for why I destroyed your porn was for your own mental and emotional health.
"I would have done the same if I had found a kilo of crack cocaine. Someday, I hope you will understand."
The porn collector's father also alleges that he was kicked out of high school and college for selling porn to other students, according to court documents.

The Zacks Analyst Blog Highlights: Royal Gold, Gold Fields, Kinross Gold, Equinox Gold and Eldorado Gold
Zacks Equity Research Zacks
Chicago, IL – July 28, 2020 – Zacks.com announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include: Royal Gold Inc. RGLD, Gold Fields Ltd. GFI, Kinross Gold Corp. KGC, Equinox Gold Corp. EQX and Eldorado Gold Corp. EGO.
Here are highlights from Monday's Analyst Blog:
Gold Turns Very Precious at All-Time Highs: 5 Winners
The global economy is set to remain coronavirus-stricken this year. As the U.S. economy is facing the second wave of coronavirus infections that is threatening to derail the much-hyped V-shaped recovery in the second half of this year, market participants are gradually shifting to safe-haven assets. Meanwhile, gold has turned as the most-favored, safe-haven among investors.
Consequently, on Jul 27, spot gold price touched as high as 19,43.93 per ounce, outpacing the previous all-time high set in September 2011. Moreover, the gold future for August delivery touched $1,936.60, surpassing the previous record high score in August 2011. Year to date, gold price has rallied 27.2%, eclipsing all three major stock indexes.
Resurgence of Coronavirus
All 50 states of the United States have opened their economies in some form since the last week of May after two months of lockdowns. However, within a month's time most of the states have been forced to reclose as new cases of coronavirus jumped in as many as 24 states.
Bank of America reported that air traffic processed through TSA security lines fell during the week ended Jul 20, compared with the prior week. Per Opentable, restaurant reservation declined in the past month. According to Cowen, retail footfall fell significantly in July. Jefferies reported that the percentage of closed small businesses in July from June.
Accommodative Monetary Policies
Almost all central banks are pursuing easy monetary policies in order to inject more liquidity into the system. The Fed has reduced the benchmark interest rate to zero and intends to maintain 0% interest rate and asset buyback programs till 2022. The ECB and the Bank of Japan are maintaining a negative interest rate policy for a long time.
Lower interest rates decrease the opportunity cost of holding non-yielding bullion, making gold cheaper for investors holding other assets. Moreover, globally, major central banks have strengthened their quantitative easing programs. Low interest rates and higher money supply will depreciate the value of currencies of these countries.
Price Movement of Other Safe-Haven Assets
On Jul 24, yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury Note settled at 0.584% — its lowest since Apr 21. The yield on the benchmark government bond fell sharply as investors opted more for this asset. Declining yield on government securities goes well with the price of yellow metal as it is a non-interest bearing asset.
The U.S. Dollar Index, a gauge of the greenback against a basket of six major currencies, tumbled more than 6% in the past three months. A weak U.S. dollar has increased demand for dollar-denominated bullions like gold.
U.S.- China Tensions Heighten
The lingering economic and geo-political conflicts between the United States and China have intensified recently. On Jul 23, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo slammed China over international abuses warning the Asian economic giant that the United Sates will no longer tolerate China's double standard.
On Jul 22, The U.S. government instructed China to close its consulate in Houston, citing that it was used for spying purposes. China retaliated asking the United States to close its consulate in Chengdu. The U.S. government has already imposed trade sanctions on 11 major Chinese companies on account of violating human rights in China.
On Jul 21, the Department of Justice indicted two Chinese hackers of stealing trade secrets and trying to steal research on potential drugs for coronavirus treatment.

His real name is Jeffery Frimpong, popularly known as U.K Boga. He lived a significant part of his adult life in London. Everyone knows him as a dancer, but not many know that he also enjoys street dancing and doing backflips in his spare time (lol). He intends to be world famous for dancing.
He's a natural athlete who is more taken to football. He trained and played for a few football clubs, for a while. He probably took dancing more seriously than football. He happens to be one of those weird people who dance even when there is no music playing; that is how passionate he is about dancing.
He was born and a raised Christian and his beliefs can be summed up into doing good unto others, and putting God first in everything. He believes teamwork is important for success in every endeavour and it is even more important in his dancing career. He belongs to a dance group called 'Ghana Boyz', where he has learnt a lot about taking criticism, supporting other people and working hard.
He has come a long way from the lone wolf who arrived in London with a dream. He has worked hard to earn what he has now and is proud of his achievements. He believes he has come this far through focus and self – motivation. He does not think he has arrived, he still has unanswered prayers and unattained heights but he's grateful and also hopeful.
Apart from being a dancer, hes also an astute businessman. He always sees business opportunities even in mundane circumstances. He has a lot of business ideas that he intends to follow through with and actually enjoys the brainstorming process of coming up with business ideas. He also has the knack for organising unique events and adding a personal touch (he's always creating opportunities for the dancer in him to come out and display).
Recently, his dance crew got nominated for a dance award in Ghana, which is an accomplishment he is greatly proud of. Another great accomplishment is being in Davido's 'If' music video. Davido is a well-recognised afrobeats artist and being in his video is a great privilege. Uber has also recognised his talent and are sponsoring him; he even has his own Uber code. They have also recognised him as the 'UK's most influential dancer'.
He has had the opportunity to work with influential acts like Sarkodie, Davido, Shatta Wale, and several others. He looks forward to working with many other acts in and across the continent. As a believer, he recognises the importance of walking through any doors that are opened for him.
He considers himself as a 'people's person'. He is always excited to meet and speak with new people. He has a philosophy that "you never know what wisdom you can gain from meeting someone new". Among his friends, he's usually the clown who is always laughing and cracking others up with laughter. He is a carrier of positive energy and is hyped to fill the show with a lot of laughter, energy and positive vibes.

More than half of consumers would consider legal action if their data was compromised during a breach
Peter Galvin November 21, 2018
Six months on from the legal implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), a third of consumers have admitted they still aren't confident that the companies they interact with comply with the regulation. Furthermore, 16% of organisations across the UK and Germany confessed to not having been ready in time for the legislation, according to our research into consumer and business perceptions of the GDPR, six months after its roll-out.
Our research has highlighted that 86% of consumers would consider switching to another company if a breach were to occur, with 35% of consumers stating that a data breach under the GDPR would 'definitely' give them a negative perception of a company. More than two thirds (69%) also stated they would think about initiating legal action against a company which failed to manage their personal data under the GDPR.
A surprising 17% of UK consumers said they still hadn't heard of the regulation compared to just 9% in Germany. A quarter (25%) of people in both regions revealed that they could not explain the GDPR in any way.
In light of consumer concerns, members of the C-Suite were asked whether their organisation was prepared for the legislation in time for the May 25 2018 deadline. The majority (84%) of businesses reported being 'completely' ready, with a further 11% being somewhat prepared. Those across the manufacturing and utilities industries had the highest preparedness rates at 91%, while retail had the lowest across both countries at 78%. UK businesses fell slightly behind their German counterparts, however, with a 10% difference in the number of organisations that met the official deadline.
Since the implementation of GDPR, one third (33%) of UK businesses have contacted the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) to check the severity of a data breach, while just less than half (49%) of German organisations have done the same with the Data Protection Commissioners.
Gaining and maintaining consumer trust
With over 40% of UK companies turning to the ICO in the first six months of the GDPR implementation, it's hardly surprising that consumers still lack confidence around the privacy and safety of their personal information. As data breaches continue to hit the headlines on what seems like a daily basis, it's almost impossible for anyone to believe their data is in good hands.
This immediately puts organisations at a disadvantage in gaining consumer trust, especially given people's willingness to switch companies following a breach. With the GDPR putting consumers in a newfound position of power, it's down to organisations to show they are rethinking their approach to data security, ensure they are fit for compliance, and enhance their relationships with consumers.
The cost to business
UK businesses also ranked second when it came to financial investment into preparing for the GDPR, with UK spend averaging £86,806, while German organisations invested an average of €210,653. Only three in ten of enterprises across the UK spent more than £10,000 preparing themselves, whereas more than half did the same in Germany. At the other end of the scale, 16% of German organisations invested between €500,000 and €1 million to become compliant, compared with just 5% of organisations across the UK.
The regulation has also impacted the way enterprises interact and engage with third-parties, with 38% admitting to completely changing their security policies with contractors or vendors according to the GDPR, and a further 24% partially changing policies.
A view from the C-Suite
As well as having to alter external relationships in order to meet the new requirements, it appears that organisations in both countries have also been affected by the data protection law in a number of other ways, with not all of them being positive. Although designed to bring greater control to how data is handled and protected, 30% of CEOs, CIOs and CISOs felt that the introduction of the GDPR had in fact led to increased complexity.
Perhaps more worryingly, almost a quarter (23%) believe the regulation has resulted in a greater risk of data breaches, while a further 14% reported a negative impact on their relationships with international partners. It wasn't all doom and gloom, however, as 18% of respondents across the UK and Germany felt that the regulation has had a positive impact on innovation for their organisation.

Takahiro Yamamoto
Aging Painting
Omotesando, Tokyo 3F
Installation view with Takahiro Yamamoto, Untitled, 2019-2020
MAKI Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Takahiro Yamamoto, an artist who paints meticulous reproductions of old postcards and portraits. By engaging with motifs whose raison d'etre is replication, Yamamoto inquires into the nature of uniqueness and originality. On first seeing his work, it is the artist's breathtaking, photorealistic technique that intrigues the viewer. But what is the unique concept hidden in the depths of this technique?
Behind the artist's choices lies his desire to investigate the relationship between an original and its reproduction. In general, the original is considered to have value, while reproductions are deemed lesser. However, if a reproduction (printed material or photographs) suffers fading or damage, and there is another reproduction which has survived through the same amount of time, the ways in which they deteriorate are not the same. They fade or become damaged, each in their own time. Thus, time bestows uniqueness on those reproductions. It is here that the artist finds time itself, faithfully replicating it. By depicting time' in this way, Yamamoto endows reproductions with the value of an original.
It can be said that the artist's astounding technique is a necessary means to execute this concept. We hope that through the artist's work, you will discover for yourselves the artist's true intentions: to express the significance and value of time.

burberry threw a party on thursday to celebrate the opening of their 10th store in the uk. the new burberry brit store is located in covent garden, and several familiar faces attended the event. sebastian brice, a regular on burberry's campaigns, attended the event in a neutral colored jacket (love the rolled up sleeves) with a beautiful floral shirt (especially loving that he buttoned it all the way to the top). i am totally in love with that shirt, at first glance i thought it reminded me of liberty's print fabrics, but mr brice has to be wearing burberry at this event.
loving his whole look, and i need that shirt!
I love those pants. Such a perfect fit. I wish I could find pants that fit so well.
The print has a really vintage vibe to it.
oh i am in love with his look too. even the shoes look very cool. and everything fits him very well.
Was just thinking the same thing Joe, great look.

Mellonta Tauta: An Imaginary Journey
Chris Semtner | April 24, 2019
Extracted from Dr. Murray Ellison's MA Thesis on Poe and 19th-Century Science from Virginia Commonwealth University, 2015©
In Poe's Imaginary Journey, "Mellonta Tauta" (1849), the narrator, Pundit, embarks on a balloon trip to outer space in the year of 2848 and writes a letter narrating the details of his journey.
The name that Poe gives his narrator suggests that he is a pundit, a knower of sublime truth. However, Poe may have selected his character's name because he delivers puns or a satiric presentation of science fiction. Pundit records his adventures in a journal that is presumed to have originated from the nineteenth century, as he is traveling to the distant future. From these accounts, we may conclude that Poe's "Mellonta Tauta" is one of the earliest fictional works to explore time travel. The narrator outlines his view of the history of science and of his objections to nineteenth-century science, and he also describes the technologies he sees in the future. The narrator's opinion also likely represents Poe's views on the topics he discusses in this story.
Pundit begins his talk: "In all the ages the great obstacles to advancement in Art have been opposed by the so-called men of science." He says that our men of science are not quite as "bigoted as those of old." He refers to the wise "Hindoo" philosopher, "Aries Tottle" [Aristotle], and continues his monologue: During the dark ages, "metaphysicians" tried to dispel the "singular fancy that there existed but two possible roads for the attainment of Truth!" He lectures that Aristotle relieved them of this misconception by introducing "the deductive or a priori mode of investigation." He started with what he called "self-evident truths, and then proceeded 'logically' to results." His disciples and their system of thinking, "flourished supreme" until the "advent" of Francis Bacon in the seventeenth century, who "preached… the a-posteriori or inductive [system]." Bacon "proceeded by observing, analyzing and classifying facts…into general laws." Pundit concludes that Bacon "operated to retard the progress of all true knowledge—which makes its advances almost invariably by intuitive bounds." For hundreds of years, he states: "a virtual end was put to all thinking." Pundit proposes that the only valuable knowledge gained in the history of science was by men who combined the methods of science and intuition to solve scientific problems. He notes that Newton "owed the truth of gravitation" to Kepler. Kepler "guessed—that is to say, imagined" [gravity]. Kepler, Pundit states, unraveled gravity like a "cryptographist unriddles a cryptograph," in a process that is similar to conducting hermeneutic literary interpretation.
Pundit reports that the passengers on his futuristic space exploration see a "magnetic cutter in charge of the middle section of floating telegraph wires." He comments it was once "impossible to convey the wires over the sea, but now we are at a loss to comprehend where the difficulty lay." In this passage, Poe anticipates electronic communications. Near the floating electric wires, he wryly comments that a man has been knocked overboard "from one of the small magnetic propellers that swarm in [the] ocean below us." The narrator comments, stoically, that the detached man was "soon out of sight." He continues: "I rejoice, my dear friend that we live in an age so enlightened that no such thing as an individual is supposed to exist. It is the mass for which the true Humanity cares." Pundit may be either observing a period in the remote future when society had formed into a unified collective. In 1848, Karl Marx published the Communist Manifesto. Articles about Communism had also been reported in American newspapers in the 1840s. Perhaps by bringing up this observation, Poe may have also been expressing his opposition to the contributions of the individual creator in a collective society. However, his opposition to individualism seems contrary to the fact that Poe was a lone creator in a society that, he believed, did not fully appreciate his individual contributions. Pundit may also have been observing a period in the future of the Universe when all souls had been assimilated into a Supreme Being. These themes carry into Poe's final treatise called Eureka, which I shall explore in future columns.
Pundit speaks about the Milky Way, which he observes through telescopes that, he notes, are vastly improved over the ones used in the nineteenth century. He challenges the thinkers of his age, to "attempt to take a single step towards the comprehension of a circuit" so utterly incomprehensible. He marvels that: "A flash of lightning itself, traveling forever upon the circumference of this inconceivable circle, would still forever be traveling in a straight line. The flight ends when the balloon collapses and tumbles into space. Pundit remarks: "Whether you get this letter or not is of little importance, as I write altogether for my own amusement. I shall cork the MS. up in a bottle, however, and throw it into the sea."(a line he had used in his earliest published story, "MS Found in a Bottle." Despite this statement, Poe likely wished that his story would be discovered by enlightened individuals in the future. "Mellonta Tauta" further demonstrates that Poe was critical of nineteenth-century science but optimistic about distant future civilizations.
