Stoke Bishop Cricket Club receive sponsorship from National Friendly
This year, we're delighted to be sponsoring the Stoke Bishop Cricket club's Under 13s A team! Robert Richards, a parent of one of the team members, spoke to us about what a difference this makes for all the boys involved.
"This is the second year that National Friendly have supported our squad. Last year we were able to purchase shirts for all the players and have National Friendly's logo celebrating their 150th. These shirts have now been handed down to the U13b squad at Stoke Bishop and so both they (11-12 year olds) and the U13A (12 -13 year olds) will look very smart in their sponsored shirts.
The provision of the shirts make a huge difference to the team as a whole as it helps to create a team club identity. Both players and their parents are very much appreciative of the support.
The U13A team is ably led by its Manager Glenn Barker, who stepped up to the plate a number of years ago when there was a lack of provision for club cricket in the area. Since its inception in 2015 the team have gone from strength to strength, from the days of barely having a team to a squad of 20+ players and a waiting list!
This year the boys will be competing in their league against other local clubs and in two cup competitions, the Vitality cup and the U13 Nations cup. We are already through to the next round of the Vitality cup and look forward to the challenge of Knowle in the next week or so.
Unbeaten so far, we are hoping for an even better season than last year."

Sherry was a waitress at the only joint in town She had a reputation as a girl who'd been around On Main Street after midnight, a brand new pack of cigs A fresh one hanging from her lips, a beer between her legs She rides down to the river, and meets with all her friends The road goes on forever and the party never ends Sonny was a loner, older than the rest He was goin' in the Navy, but couldn't pass the test So he hung around town, he sold a little pot The law caught wind of Sonny and one day he got caught But he was back in business when they set him free again The road goes on forever and the party never ends Sonny's playin' eight-ball in the joint where Sherry works When some drunken out-of-towner put his hand up Sherry's skirt Sonny took his pool cue, laid the drunk out on the floor Stuffed a dollar in her tip jar, walked out the door She's running right behind him, reaching for his hand The road goes on forever and the party never ends They jumped into his pickup, Sonny jammed it down in gear Sonny looked at Sherry, said "Let's get on out of here" The stars were high above them, the moon was in the east The sun was setting on them when they reached Miami Beach They got a hotel by the water, a quart of Bombay Gin The road goes on forever and the party never ends They soon ran out of money, but Sonny knew a man Who knew some Cuban refugees, who dealt in contraband Sonny met the Cubans in a house just off the route With a briefcase full of money and a pistol in his boot The card were on the table when the law came bustin' in The road goes on forever and the party never ends The Cubans grabbed the goodies, Sonny grabbed the jack Broke the bathroom window and climbed on out the back Sherry drove the pickup through the alley on the side Where a lawman tackled Sonny and was reading him his rights She stepped out in the alley with a single shot .410 The road goes on forever and the party never ends They left the lawman lying, they made their getaway Got back to the motel just before the break of day Sonny gave her all the money, he blew a little kiss If they ask you how this happened say I forced you into this She watched him as his taillights disappeared around the bend The road goes on forever and the party never ends It's Main Street after midnight, just like it was before Twenty-one months later, at the local grocery store Sherry buys a paper and a cold six-pack of beer The headlines say that Sonny is going to the chair She pulls back onto Main Street in her new Mercedes Benz The road goes on forever and the party never ends

The immersive experience in theatre is unavoidable today and it's easy to see its appeal. Immersion lends itself to the immediate and ethereal nature of live theatre which, thus far, is irreproducible in any other media. Though, with such innovations so quickly turning to gimmick, the challenge which Cynthia von Buhler faced with her Speakeasy Dollhouse: The Brothers Booth, presented by Stageworks Media at The Players, was how to add more than "just water" to the site specific trend.
After delivering the password to a pageboy for entry, guests are ushered through the back entrance of The Players Club. Once crowded into the club's theatre space, multicolor tickets, each for a particular genre of beverage, are purchased carnival style at a corner table. These tickets are then exchanged at bars at the back of the theatre space or the basement. Guests, through no small aid of the beverages, are invited to dissolve into the word of the performance as performers themselves. Many eager attendees wore flapper gowns and suits which rivaled those on stage and left the line dividing performer and audience irreparably blurred. Thanks to this costuming and the swell of both liquor and music, cross conversation between characters and bystanders spread spontaneously.
It is this conversation which makes Speakeasy Dollhouse unique to other famed immersive theatre experiences. Unlike the by now mythicized Sleep No More, Speakeasy Dollhouse is an organically social affair. Throughout the time spent, names are shared, conversations cracked open, and even a business card or two exchanged. For an immersive experience to bring ease enough for eye contact is daunting, for it to spur on organic conversation is nothing short of a miracle.
The performance features a melodramatic and site specific tale of the Booth Brothers. Hostess Tansy welcomed the audience to a prohibition era dedication at the Players for a statue of Edwin Booth performing his most famed role, Hamlet. During a toast by Edwin Booth's daughter, a tattooed man enters spewing shocking accusations which include conspiracies, mummies, curses, and, to the distress of all, Edwin Booth's infamous brother, John Wilkes Booth. The altercations between Edwin Booth's daughter and the tattooed gentleman and the entrance of the spirits of the Booth brothers, performed by Eric Gravez as Edwin and Ryan Wesen as John Wilkes Booth, served as dramatic bookends to the evening and found their effectiveness in no small part to the transportive nature of the space.
There are also more lightly surreal curiosities to be found throughout the building. A tour guide leads visitors to the actual room of Edwin Booth, a gentleman offers a delightfully off putting presentation on "The Boobies of the Galapagos" in the library, and some of New York's most charming performers hop on stage to perform with a live brass band or coerce audience members to dance with them.
My guest and I, as a well as a few strangers who by then could have very well been close friends, were well taken care of by a performer who went by "Miss St. James." To converse with her as she joyfully constructed her own energetic history was an honest pleasure. In one particular instance she stumbled into anachronism by claiming she'll star in Kiss Me Kate then, upon catching herself, proclaims that she will write a musical called Kiss Me Kate... and it'll be a hit! Our small party, including the actor herself, were quickly lost in this gleefully cathartic moment. It might seem to be small and simple, but it was magical and one of several instances of spontaneous play which came to pass in the hallowed halls of The Players.
Director Wes Grantom continues his penchant for sophisticated risqué fun by creating a unique world of the mythic prohibition era. He exhausted the space for every ounce of atmosphere it's worth and in The Players, where the texture of history is made tactile, that's truly a feat of artistic engineering. Speakeasy Dollhouse: The Brothers Booth gives in to the purpose of its site. By turning a night's performance into a party it honors The Players as a space where those who care for the arts can meet, mingle, and discover while surrounded by the passions of those present and past.
The interactive cast of Speakeasy Dollhouse: The Brothers Booth consists of: Jonas Barranca, Victor Barranca,Chrissy Basham, Daniel Burns,Laura Epperson, Russell Farhang,Chris Fink, Katelan Foisy, E. James Ford,Skyler Max Gallun, Ashley Grombol, Jenny Harder, Silent James,Lord Kat, Alexandra Kopko, Delysia LaChatte, Justin Moore,Travis Moore, Dan Olson,Erin Orr, William Otterson, Natalie Rich,Hannah Rose, Samantha Rosenrater, Sarah Vogt, and Allen Wilcox.

Leben
Als Sohn von Franz Kaspar Hesselbach studierte Hesselbach Medizin an der Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg. 1806 wurde er im Corps Franconia Würzburg aktiv. 1818 wurde er zum Dr. phil. et med. promoviert. Als Professor der Chirurgie wurde er 1828 an die chirurgische Schule zu Bamberg versetzt und zugleich zum Oberwundarzt des dortigen allgemeinen Krankenhauses ernannt. 1833 wurde die chirurgische Schule geschlossen. Ab 1836 lehrte er an der neu gegründeten Baderschule in Bamberg, die 1843 ebenfalls geschlossen wurde.

Hesselbach galt als "eingebildeter und unverträglicher Charakter"; jedoch sei er ein "sehr gut beanlagter Mann", der auf dem Gebiete der Anatomie und Chirurgie einiges geleistet habe. Er befasste sich vor allem mit dem Leistenbruch und erfand das
Bruchband.

Jay Z sued to halt his private arbitration with clothing company Iconix Brand Group Inc, saying the company's inability to find an African-American arbitrator to hear the trademark dispute was unfair.
The dispute is the latest in a series of legal wranglings arising from Jay Z's 2007 sale of his Rocawear clothing brand to Iconix for about $204 million. Iconix has since written off almost the entire value of the brand, and in 2017 sued Jay Z in Manhattan federal court over trademark rights. That case remains pending.
In 2015, Jay Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, and Iconix settled some disputes, and agreed to address future claims in private arbitration, according to Jay Z's petition.
Last month, Iconix accused Jay Z of breaching the 2015 settlement and demanded an AAA arbitration.
But Jay Z said the AAA found only three potential African-American arbitrators, out of the hundreds it uses, for his case, and one already represented Iconix in related litigation.
"It would stand to reason that prospective litigants — which undoubtedly include minority owned and operated businesses - expect there to be the possibility that the person who stands in the shoes of both judge and jury reflects the diverse population," the petition said.
Jay Z, 48, is famous for songs including Hard Knock Life and 99 Problems. The Brooklyn native has won 21 Grammy Awards, most recently in 2015 for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance for "Drunk in Love" with his wife, pop star Beyonce.
The SEC said it was looking in to writedowns by Iconix, and wanted to ask JayZ about his personal involvement with the brand.

What a fantastic show the children gave last night at the Harpenden Public Hall. The children behaved well and coped admirably with the heat while they were waiting under stage for their turn to perform. The rousing performance of 'Cumbanchero' was fabulous and we hope it has been a great experience for the children to be involved in such a production. A special mention to the Orchestra and Choir members who have attended regular practice sessions with Mr Bishop at the end or start of school. Their hard work really paid off and they were able to give such a confident performance.
Well done to all the children (and parents) who completed the Harpenden trail over half term holiday. We hope you found it informative. We have continued with our topic since half term and explored the effect of the railway coming to Harpenden and from a geography perspective have begun thinking about plotting land use in the town now using our digital mapping programme 'digimap'.
In Science, we have been experimenting with different conductors and insulators in simple electric circuits. Part of our curriculum involves taking a part a plug and looking at how it is wired. It would be therefore helpful if the children can have some 'hands on' experience of this at home; perhaps taking a plug apart with adult supervision.
In Maths, both sets have been revising in preparation for our final assessment week next week. It would be beneficial that children make sure they get to bed early and are fully focused so they can 'show off' their best skills!
In English we have completed a short unit on a story from another culture. The children have written from the perspective of Gregory in 'Gregory Cool'. We plan to pick up this unit again towards the end of the term so if the children spot any stories from other cultures at home and would like to share them, that would be most welcome.
Next week, as we have said, is assessment week so there will be no separate spelling list but we are sending home red books to provide an opportunity to look over and recall all the spelling rules covered this year for a final spelling test next week. All assessment tests taken next week will be feedback in the end of year report.
Assessments over for another year!!!


In March 2008 the Norwegian Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Mrs Aslaug Haga stated that the Norwegian government would support three Carbon Capture and Storage demonstration projects. While stating that she supported the development of renewable energy options she argued that "no matter how hard we try to develop renewables; coal, oil and gas will be with us, and will continue to be our main source of energy supply for several decades to come. This is why CCS is important. We have no choice but to succeed in developing CCS. We quite simply have to make it more environmentally friendly to use oil, gas and coal. Nothing less is sustainable."
European CO2 Technology Centre Mongstad, a carbon capture and storage demonstration project aimed at testing "CO2 capture on two types of flue gases using two capture technologies. One source of emissions is the existing catalytic cracker facility at the Mongstad Refinery and the other is emissions from the gas fired combined heat and power plant (CHP), which is under construction." In 2008 the objective was to have the plant built by 2011.
a full scale retrofit capture plant connected to a gas fired power plant at Karsto. In 2008 the the Norwegian Minister of Petroleum and Energy, Mrs Aslaug Haga stated the "facility is planned to capture 1 million tonnes of CO2 from the exhaust gas at the power plant and subsequently transport the CO2 by pipeline to safe storage in geological formations under the sea bed. Final investment decision is to be made in 2009." It is intended that public funds be used for the project.
In addition, Statoil is operating the Sleipner Carbon Capture and Storage project where approximately 1 million tonnes per annum of carbon dioxide from the natural gas produced at Sleipner is being injected into a sub-sea aquifer. The project began in 1996 as a way of avoiding Norwegian government taxes on cO2.

I have been having this issue for years and I found the final solution just yesterday! So I thought I would post it here and hopefully help out thousands of other people like me.
Before I explain the solution let me describe the problem in detail. For some unknown reason, I have always had this problem on my main computer with Internet Explorer 9: whenever I want to run it, a blank window appears for 0.1 second then closes instantly, without any error message or anything. The solutions I describe are valid for Internet Explorer 7 (IE7), Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) and Internet Explorer 9 (IE9). I am running Windows 7 but the solutions also work for Windows Vista and Windows XP.
There are three solutions here, among which two are the official solutions proposed by Microsoft. Let me tell you right off - Microsoft's solutions had no effect, so you might want to skip to the last one immediately.
Read on for a detailed description of each of these three solutions.
The problem is perfectly described on a support page entitled "Internet Explorer opens, flashes, and then closes immediately when you start it". That's exactly what happens here, except their solutions had no effect for me. Maybe you'll be luckier than I was?
4) Make sure the "Delete personal settings" box is ticked and press OK.
5) Try running IE again and see if that fixed it.
If that didn't help, you can try their second recommendation, which is basically to uninstall and reinstall Internet Explorer. The process is simple and there is actually no installer to run.
Reinstalling: do the exact same, except you tick the box.
If you have an older version of Internet Explorer, I recommend downloading Internet Explorer 9 (offline installer, not one of those stupid web installers that always fail).
Solution 3 by Kai Schätzl - the ultimate fix!
Once you have that downloaded, extract the ZIP archive, you will find a .cmd file (command-line batch file). It contains instructions that will repair your system and allow Internet Explorer to finally work again. DISREGARD the filename: it's called "IE8" but it works with IE7, IE8 and IE9. To run it, right-click the file and click "Run as administrator".
After it finishes running, start Internet Explorer and voila! You can now use the world's worst web browser again. Download Google Chrome now!
Worked great after nothing from Microsoft worked.
Didn't work for me IE64 version 8.
I can`t believe this worked! I tried everything and I believe my issue was because I have a sata drive and another drive separating ie and the OS. Anyway... I didn`t believe this would work, yet it did. Thanks a lot!
I tried all the Microsoft fixes and nothing worked.
Thanks for pointing out Option 3, you saved me some time.
I used Option 1 and it worked a treat. Fantastic, I have been trying to solve this for many many months.
Brillant journal, thank you so much for this help and taking the time to publish this.
Recently I had some pretty bad virus's that changed many things with my start up, programs, and applications such as IE8.
After neither of the microsoft tricks worked, option 3 worked as described. Within about 1 minute IE8 was back up and running on my WIN Xp computer.
WOW. Could not have been an easier, faster, or more perfect solution. Awesome. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
"return the favor".I am attempting to find things to enhance my website!
Worked great. ie8 on win xp. thank you!
I solved this by doing a system restore on a date that everything worked.
Still nothing worked for me. I have to get IE working. I need some paperwork from a court house and all they use is IE. Once I get all that done I am going back to Chrome. I have been working on this for months.
None of these 3 options worked. Windows 7 64-bit. Neither IE8 or IE9 work.
^ to the above. Did you try the right fix for your 64-bit system?
If you are using IE 32 bits under Windows 64 bits, you need this one.
Try these, it really won't hurt your system. all it does basically is (re)register some DLLs who are required by Internet Explorer.
Why didn't I see your site before???
I tried Option 1 first, and it worked. But when I closed the explorer and reopened it, it closes immediately again.
Basically, I was able to successfully launch the browser in my every other attempt. I guess I just have to be happy with that.
Haha wow, this is really weird. I can't believe IE is so dodgy. At least we should be getting some kind of error message. What are the developers thinking?
Went right to option 3 after trying a bunch of suggested "fixes" from Microsoft the day before. Worked great!
How do I download the script for option three if IE doesn't work?
This is the only thing that worked (solution 3).
Option 3 worked, for one time. Then I opened a shortcut to a website and started doing the flash thing again.????
Thanks for finding this automated script that re-registers .dll files etc. to return IE to its original functionality - very much appreciated!!!
Fantastic! I've spent days running around in circles trying to get IE8 running again, this did it in a few minutes!
I have a 32-bit xp machine and had tried almost everything before this with no success. Trying to uninstall ie8, couldn't; trying to uninstall sp3, couldn't; registry changes; no-add-in start up; safe mode; etc. This fixed everything in 1 minute. THANKS, Fantastic!!!
Hi, this cmd in option 3 worked! Thanks very much for this fix, now ie8 on win XP is working properly again! Best wishes!
Grr... none of this worked for me. Even option 3, and I tried all 3 downloads. I have Win7 64 and IE9 32. I don't know why that is, but I disabled IE a LONG time ago, now that I need it even when I enable it it just opens for a second and closes. I think it may be time to reinstall my Win7.
So every time I click one of your links, it takes me to some movie downloader. Wtf?
I'm not a computer wizard. How do you download something when your internet won't open??? I'm using my wife's computer to search for solutions. I hit the reset button on my internet trying to fix some things (as told) and now when i try to open it, it opens as you say, for a second and then gone.
"So every time I click one of your links, it takes me to some movie downloader. Wtf?"
=> Hello, you must be clicking an ad banner instead of the actual download button. Those ads can be sneaky.
Works for me. Thank YOU!!!
Hey it is OK, if you are working on your computer and you wanna do. You can't guide your customer, user will run-away, thats its not working.
Thank you so much. Windows 7 64bit IE9.
AWESOME! I had tried everything or 2 days. MS fixes didn't work, but fix 3 did it. I can not thank you enough. I am so glad I found your article. I will be keeping track of your page for sure from now on.
omg - i can't believe this worked! I have been trying all the fixes and regedits and tweaks for almost 2 week and nothing worked. This fixed my IE and my lost explorer search button. Thanks sooo much!
didnt work for me. IE9 64 bit. any more ideas?
How do you extract the zip archive? I compledted the solution 3 download but don't know where to go from there.
Hi! You're brilliant! This not only fixed my IE, but my Turbo Tax problems were obviously related, and now I can download tax forms again! Thank you!
Worked for me, IE8 32-bit! Awesome download!
#3 worked! Thanks! I have had major issues with installing chrome on xp. If it doesn't work this time, I will definitely be writing you! Thanks again!
Option 3 worked great! Thanks for saving the day!
only Solution 3 the ultimate fix worked for me -- when I uninstall / re-installed IE10 in wrong way, that even caused my IE8 totally disabled.
I am running Window's 7 with a 64 bit operating system. How do I find out whether W7 is 32 bit or 64 bit and how do I find out whether IE is 32 bit or 64 bit?
After a partner spent hours trying other fixes, I found yours and #3 did it! Keep the fixes coming! Thanks. Win7 64bit 32bit IE.
I tried all 3 and I must be missing something with #3. I didn't get a file in Winzip, I got the iLivid Download, and the download failed from there. Did you leave some details out about how to actually download the script? Everything I click on leads to iLivid and nothing else! Help!
Patricia: you must be clicking one of the ad banners, I assume. These can be sneaky. Look for the actual download button, haha.
Clem, I know what the Download button looks like, and when I click on it I get iLivid. When I click on your link that says 'click here' it goes to iLivid. Everything that should take me to your script download takes me to iLivid download. Why is that?
Holy Cow I finally figured out what to click on, got it downloaded and it looks like it worked! Thank you!
Method 1 and 2 failed. Method 3 was just what the doctor ordered! Thanks!
Is there an option 4? Windows 7, 64 bit system, 64 bit IE. GRRR. I can't run Quickbooks or Skype. Geek Squad couldn't even fix it using their online service.
I was having a real issue trying to restore internet explorer and I was nearing the end of my rope when I found this site. I was able to folow the instructions and solve the problem. Thank you so much. You have been extremely helpful.
Didn't work for me - but I suspect that my problem is caused by an MS update.
I've tried uninstalling the update, but it gives an error message saying it can't uninstall some parts.
It worked a treat. Fantastic, I have been trying to solve this for many many months.
I was able to successfully launch the browser in my every other attempt. I guess I just have to be happy with that.
I have WinXP (32 bits) and none of the three solutions worked separately.
Then I did a combination starting with solution #3 and then disabling IExplorer as in solution #2. Finally, after restarting the computer I did a fresh installation of IExplorer 8 from an installer downloaded from Microsoft using a second computer and a USB stick (because the first computer had no browser yet).
This combination did the trick. Thank you Clement!
Options 1 & 2 never worked, so I've tried option 3. After trying all three scripts, my inernet explorer still doesn't work. I made sure I ran the .cmd files properly for each one and waited for the script to finish and 'press any key to continue', and still my internet explorer doesn't work.
Awesome - really really thank you! I'd tried everything and I was sceptical and just a little afraid of running Option 3. IT WORKED!
I went straight to step 3 to try the IE fix script first. I had some difficulty, as WinZip sux, never made sense to me, also instructions didn't account for the fact that you have to perform the download on another computer first to a portable media and upload to trouble computer, and the computer I was trying to fix was all in Russian (Cyrillic). I did the download to a CD, loaded it to the troubled computer, never had to perform an Extraction as the instructions indicate (just double-clicked the uploaded file), and it did not fix the issue. Then I went to step 1 and performed an IE Reset which appears to have fixed the issue. So maybe both the Reset and Script need to be performed to fix the issue? Or at least in some cases? Either way, your IE instructions got me the desired result. Thank you.
Option three worked like a charm. Much Appreciated!
The third one worked like a charm. Thanks!
Thanks for this info. None of these appeared to work, but discovered what might have caused the problem. Apparently, IE was waiting for SuperAntiSpyware, which was waiting for Intel Rapid Storage Technology (RST) (which was set to delayed auto start under Services). After about 7 minutes, Intel RST started, SuperAntiSpyware started, and IE started.
Option 3 worked like a charm. Took me a while to pick out the actual download vs. the ad banners, and I had to choose the manual download vs. the automatic one, but once I ran the actual script, I was back in business.
Just uncheck Enable Protected mode under the security tab. If you can't open the internet options because IE won't open, right click on the IE icon and run as administrator.
Thank you option 3 worked instantly and I am not a computer whiz...to those who asked how do you download the file if you cannot open internet explorer is that you have to download it on another computer using a flash drive. Obviously you are on another computer if you are seeing this. Instead of running the file, click save and save it to your flash drive. Then all you have to do is click on it on your flash drive when you plug it into the non working computer and voila...Thank you again....I hope some really good things happen to you!!
OMG! Still trying to get Option 3 to work, but there are so many add-ons that I cannot even get to it. Ugh!
I am so appreciative for the options and explanation!
Thank you for taking the time to do this for us. Option 3 worked for me too.
My own IT people could not resolve the issue as you did!! THANK YOU Clement!
Guys, I can't believe it.
It finally worked for me (IE8 XP 32bit)after months of frustration.
It finally worked for me (IE8 on XP 32 bit)after months of frustrating efforts while I was doing what Microsoft were suggesting.
I tried all the options and they didn't work. For Solution 3, I downloaded it and then ran it but the file was named Tweakcube. Can you please help me?
Thanks a lot for this solution. Because i was frustrated due to this problem. Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tried for hours, no luck. Found Clement's post. Used option 3. Problem resolved in 5 minutes. Resolved issue on IE11 (yes, eleven) using Win 7 32 bit.
How long does it need to run ? It says Preparing Internet Explorer etc etc..
Unbelievable! I had tried everything without success until I found your page. Option 3 did the trick for me, and I very much appreciate your posting this topic.
How to extract the zip archive?
my antivirus doesn't like the filetrip website where I have to download this. Did anyone else have a similar issue?
How do you download a fix if the internet flashes then shuts down immediately! I tried to dl chrome from a link on the ms help pages, but it would not stay up long enough to connect.
It's funny, I can get on ms help online..but nothing else stays up. IE icon is dead, what's a mother to do?
Thank you very much for the script, it works.great.
Wow. After a nasty virus infection I had everything working again EXCEPT IE 8 on XP. The script did wonders!
The little script worked for me tonight on IE 10. Thanks!
Thanks, i had a strange problem where internet would work perfectly with Firefox with a proxy set but IE not at all in a business environement.
The scripts seem to have sorted everything out.
My advice: try anything but this script.
Ran full antivirus scan. Ran rootkit scan. All OK. In desperation I decided to try "the script."
Trying to download the script I got to a screen that forced me to accept a download for ilivid (?) or reboot. I rebooted - with only the usual windows startup stuff. Windows took a long, long time to start. So I ran chkdsk - it found a trashed filesystem - which I had it fix. Then windows ran, but IE still didn't run. I figured out a way around the "download my crapware or else" screen, downloaded the file, ran the script. IE still wouldn't work. Reboot - and all hell broke loose. Tried to use windows repair - it hung. Tried to reinstall windows from image - it hung. Finally used LINUX to repartition the drive. Then I was able to reinstall Windows. My advice: learn to live without IE, or find another fix. A friend gave ma a list of reg fixes - he said works. In all, only reformat and reinstall windows worked. Other than those problems, I had a good morning.
installs and registers (if suitable) all DLLs known to be used by IE8.
May be an antivirus is bloking your script ?
To the anonymous person who recommends not using the script: sorry about that, but you must have clicked an advert instead of the actual download link. Ads can be misleading, some companies (such as ilivid) trick people into clicking their banners instead of the real download buttons.
thank you soo much ! I thought my laptop was damaged or something this really helps me !
Didn't quite work, thanks for the effort though, sounds like it worked for a lot of people.
I am Really appretiate for this sollution maker .
Boss really you saved my time and Sollution 3 is wonderfull .
I wish you a good luck . Some wear some how you saved me to format the PC .
Thanks. I tried many other fixes. Option 3 worked. Brilliant!
Thanks a lot.Option 3 worked for me.
Add me to the happy camper list! Thanks so much for the script!
All three did not work for me. I can run 64 bit IE 9 but not 32 bit which I need.
Hi!!! I know that many have thanked you but I couldn't stop myself thanking you once again. The last fix worked for me like magic!! Thank you sooooooo much for all your help.
If is works so well why are you required to download the other junk. I'm sorry but I didn't just fall off the turnip truck.
How do you download if exploxer won't come up?
#1-Microsoft solution worked for me. It speeded up my internet, cleaned some stuff & blocks ads that used to come up. I tried the 3rd solution first, but I lost my key code & can't use the download app without the key so the link scanned my entire system, found 966 "problems" but could not clean them without the key. Had to "UNinstall" the software that scanned my computer to get the app window to go away. Whew.
I use IE11 though. Any ideas?
I know IE is the worst browser ever but I *have* to use it. Any ideas?
I have been trying to fix the IE on Win7 and nothing worked so far.
None of Microsoft suggestions worked for me.
Only running the script "ie8-rereg.32on64.cmd" file woked for me!
Finally script worked..Good Post..Really Helped me ..Thank You..
After 6 hours and all the tricks by Microsoft, the script did the work!
Thank you for your post! It's invaluable!!
I don't want all the other programs and things it requires I allow the program to install. I don't want all that stuff, just your fix. Why are you bundling all those things with it?
I downloaded it, got after a couple tries I found the right button...little blind. But once I actually got it and started it up, it downloaded to about 95% and then it started installing a bunch of viruses! WTF?
How are we going to download it if you rant using a web browser, I've been using my ipad,solution 3 can't be possible and should be removed..
None of these work, but point me to solution.
None of these options worked for me. Time for me to find someone who actually knows what they are talking about.
Some people may have trouble finding the real download script between the ads that look like downloads (I did, too). But it finally fixed Internet Explorer. Thank you!
It worked for IE 11.. I tried Microsoft fixes.. but didn't work. Thank you!
It worked for IE 11 !!
Option 3! It worked for IE 11 !!
AWESOME - Option 1 worked for me, now I have stooped using explorer and started using google chrome.
Thank you!!! Awesome. This worked perfectly.
Thanks a lot!!! Option 3 worked for me.. You are a life saver..
Option 3 works!!! Thank you!!!
Nice It's worked for me resetting to Default.
Our team member are fix all type error and complete solution of your problem. Go through this url.
Step 3 worked perfect after the other option proved fruitless. THANKS!
Domo arigatou for the Option 3, it didn't axactly fix what it supposedly does, but. Anyways, it Fixes my Google Chrome SSL Untrusted Connection problem somehow. But, still. Arigatou again.
if you still face internet explorer related problems like internet explorer not working or other computer related problems just dial IE help number and get complete technical help and support: 1-855-212-2247 (toll free) number.
How do I know if my IE or Windows is 32 or 64 bit?
I confirmed that the script of solution nº 3 works for Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 7 64-bit. It was the only solution that worked out for me. Thank you for the links, OP!
I believe this is the easiet way - if IE is 64-bits, it will be listed in Start>Programs more or less like this: "Internet Explorer (64 bits)"
If it's 32-bits, it will be just: "Internet Explorer".
You can also open Windows Explorer and navigate to the IE folder. It might be on Program Files or Program Files (x86). Right click "iexplore.exe", then check properties>Details>File version.
I use the PT-BR version of Windows, so I don't know for sure the name of the commands. Hope you can figure it out.

OH THIS IS GREAT. Option 3 worked for me. Every problem I had with Windows have been fixed. THANK YOU!
Turns out our problem was that my son installed a game which also installed Search Protect by Conduit. It hijacked both Chrome and IE.
Not knowing that this was the problem I tried the first two of these solutions but Search Protect hijacked the resets without me being aware.
I finally disabled Conduit's Search Protect by following Norton's step-by-step instructions and was then able to reset IE and it works like a charm now.
I tried these and other methods without more than temporary success (worked once, then went back to flashing up and going away). Finally decided to test another Windows profile, which worked normally. Resolved by deleting the Windows profile and rebuilding it.
thank you for the solution 3, it works perfectly.
I tried all 3 options. I've been searching everywhere to get IE fixed to no avail. I'm using IE 11 which some people said Option 3 worked for, but it didn't do squat for me.
Does anyone have any other options, specifically for IE 11?
That's incredible!!! I've tried many solutions from other posts...but only your final solution worked!! thank you so sososo much!
I'm having the same problem with IE but I'm using windows 8.1, would you recommend solution #3?
Thank you. The 3d solution worked. Finally!
Windows 7, Internet Explorer 11 - 3d solution worked for me.

I can't even blog on an iPad, much more on an iPhone. I love them, but nothing could replace a PC or laptop when I'm in the mood to write. You get that feeling when you're actually typing on the keyboard rather than on a touch screen? It gives me the momentum to be more creative for what I write.
You need to reset it. If it wont start, manually run inetcpl.cpl and do so. Then the options open. Reset it. Set the start page to a known good site, like www.msn.com.

Manners, Humility, and Dignity
By George W. Rutler|2019-06-27T10:39:20-05:00July 25th, 2017|Categories: Catholicism, Character, Culture, St. John Henry Newman, Virtue|
Customs and outward forms signal that one's duty is greater than one's self, and neglect of them is an exercise in egotism…
Accounts vary, and a few say that the story about our civil Founders is apocryphal, but it would seem that the story is true. As one of the more jovial national patriarchs, Gouverneur Morris, a native of New York City, but representing Pennsylvania, willingly accepted a challenge from Alexander Hamilton during the Constitutional Convention in 1787 to pat George Washington on his left shoulder and say "My dear General, how happy I am to see you look so well!" Having vowed, he did exactly that in front of surprised onlookers. The General was a formal man, even austere in manners, and had already assumed a sense of presence that would befit him two years later when he became president of the United States. Washington froze, and then removed Morris's hand, casting an icy stare at him. The room fell silent save for the sound of the offender's wooden leg as he withdrew in confusion. Hamilton rewarded him with the promised dinner with wine for a dozen friends, but Morris said: "I have won the bet, but paid dearly for it, and nothing could induce me to repeat it."
Washington's grace and tact was capable of eliciting deep affection along with admiration, but he had no patience for what he considered boorishness.
At the age of sixteen, he had laboriously copied out in his fine script a long list of "Rules of Civility and Decent Behaviour" compiled by French Jesuits in 1595 and translated around 1640 in London by a twelve-year old boy named Francis Hawkins. Rule 47 said: "Mock not nor Jest at any thing of Importance…and if you Deliver any thing witty and Pleasant abstain from Laughing thereat yourself." Similarly, Rule 64: "Break not a Jest where none take pleasure in mirth. Laugh not aloud, nor at all without Occasion…" Washington wrote this out in the same year that Lord Chesterfield in one of his famous letters to his teenage son, albeit disparaged by Dr. Johnson, advised: "Many people, at first, from awkwardness and mauvaise honte, have got a very disagreeable and silly trick of laughing whenever they speak."
None of this was a formula for pomposity. The rules were gentle protocols for avoiding the sort of self-conscious exuberance that masks pride as affability. From Plato and Aristotle to Seneca the Stoic, the virtuous man was one of piety, dignity, courage, and gravity. A man does not soar to moral heights by being a lightweight. Saint Benedict (480-547) raised this up a notch by associating these virtues with true humility, which was an undeveloped concept in pagan times. He writes in his Rule for monks: "The tenth degree of humility is, when a monk is not easily moved and quick for laughter, for it is written, 'The fool exalteth his voice in laughter.'" Then: "The eleventh degree of humility is, that, when a monk speaketh, he speak gently and without laughter, humbly and with gravity, with few and sensible words, and that he be not loud of voice, as it is written: 'The wise man is known by the fewness of his words.'"
Saint Benedict was a happy man and his monasteries were beacons of joy in a darkening society. Not in spite of that but because of it, he carefully carved the difference between serenity and giddiness. In the same vein, no one today would want to buy a used car from a man who is constantly giggling. Slapping a man on the back may be fraternal, but it also may be a subtle form of domination. And clownish behavior can scream insecurity. In the days of vaudeville, if the audience started booing, an actor's last defense was to hold a baby and wave the American flag. When institutions are failing, false sentiment distracts from the rot, and pantomimes virtue.
Sometimes, an affectation of simplicity can be an innocent, if not naïve, indulgence, like Marie Antoinette playing the part of a dairymaid with scented cows in her rustic retreat of Le Hameau. But it was a costly reverie and an expensive pretense. The singer Dolly Parton dressed as a tinseled cowgirl said: "You wouldn't believe how much it costs to look this cheap."
On the other hand, the heroically humble John Henry Newman regretted that a photograph of him showing a frayed cuff "advertised poverty." When he returned from Rome having been made a cardinal, he arrived at the London Oratory where a crowd had gathered to see the new prince of the Church. Advanced in years, and much discomfited, he struggled to don the cassock and ferraiuolo in his carriage before alighting so as not to disappoint those who had come to see some scarlet.
A few days after the battle of the Allia River on July 18, 390 BC, the Senones tribesman of the Celtic Gauls sacked Rome, this being the first of the six notorious pillagings over more than a millennium. While most of the citizens fled by way of the Janiculum Hill where the North American College now stands, patricians sat on ivory chairs outside their houses in their senatorial robes to await death. One of Livy's most moving passages described the scene:
The houses of the plebeians were barricaded, the halls of the patricians stood open, but they felt greater hesitation about entering the open houses than those which were closed. They gazed with feelings of real veneration upon the men who were seated in the porticoes of their mansions, not only because of the superhuman magnificence of their apparel and their whole bearing and demeanour, but also because of the majestic expression of their countenances, wearing the very aspect of gods. So they stood, gazing at them as if they were statues, till, as it is asserted, one of the patricians, M. Papirius, roused the passion of a Gaul, who began to stroke his beard—which in those days was universally worn long—by smiting him on the head with his ivory staff. He was the first to be killed, the others were butchered in their chairs. After this slaughter of the magnates, no living being was thenceforth spared; the houses were rifled, and then set on fire.
In our reduced culture when wealthy celebrities go about unshaven, neckties are considered an imposition, form letters from the bank address customers by their first names, and no thought is given to how to dress for church, attention to the gravity of one's office may seem archaic and indeed affected. But the opposite is the case. The amiably eccentric Queen Christina of Sweden, having abdicated her throne to become a Catholic, wrote to a friend: "Dignity does not consist in possessing honors, but in deserving them." Customs and outward forms signal that one's duty is greater than one's self, and neglect of them is an exercise in egotism. The man who says, "Call me brother, call me pal," would not have to sloganize that way if he really were a brother and a pal.
The irony is this: Those who are silly on the outside can be sly on the inside, and the comic can be cruel to those who see through the charade. Chesterton was a genuine wit and champion of the common man, which is precisely why he was skeptical of sham self-deprecation and warned against the "easy speeches that comfort cruel men." Cruel men dressed Jesus as a clown on the way to the Cross, but he never abandoned his dignity. His humility made Pontius Pilate so anxious that with deliberate ambiguity the governor hung a sign over his head calling him a king.

This idea of seriousness and gravity as a mark of good conduct, dignity and virtue in a man seems to have been almost completely dominant, and then almost completely loast.
I've been reading a biography of St Benedict, in which the author remarks on the gravitas of men who, like St Benedict, came from old Roman families as well as being Christians.
Being somewhat prone to joke-making and silliness myself it's something I ponder. If anyone knows of good authors on this subject, do pleasemake yourself known!

I think our use of first names, and informality these day's is really a reflection of our own narcissistic elevated sense of self importance. When we greet someone, not well known, by his first name, we are implying that that person is our equal, and that we could be friends. We assume that the stranger would surely want to be our friend. In the past on the other hand, the use of Sir, or Mr. So and so, implied, and gave the benefit of doubt, that the stranger was our greater, thus imparting a form of respect. It was assumed we might not be worthy of the others friendship. Nowadays we seem to respect ourselves first, and only show respect to others only after we know they deserve it, our we understand that their acquaintance could be beneficial to ourselves.

Q: Johnson Noise Measurement How to measure Johnson Noise precisely practically?
I tried using opamp/ low noise amplifier in cascade with band pass filter followed by multiplier circuit (squaring signal) and measured output which deviates from expected by nearly 10^(3 to 4) order.

A: Johnson noise is the white noise of resistors.
1) You can measure the integrated noise voltage: sample the voltage with a digital multimeter and process the statistics. The standard deviation will be the integrated voltage noise. You might need to know the bandwidth of the multimeter and its own noise if the noise levels are very low.
1) b) use an oscilloscope and check the noise in the waveform. They can calculate the RMS noise as well. Though the resolution of an oscilloscope is inferior to a multimeter, but it is much faster.
2) spectrum analyser, i.e. bandpass filtering many small parts of the spectrum and measure the energy in there. Basically it is the same method you described as well. If you built it for yourself you need to know the noise added by your components and calibrate them out from your measurement.
+1: noise is messy. It is hard to distinguish where the deviations are coming from. They can be radio stations (I've debugged some strange weak waveforms in a circuit of mine for more than an hour until finally I checked its FFT and it became clear that it picked up FM radio), wifi, bluetooth, etc. or SMPS in nearby computers or instruments...
Therefore you need to shield your DUT and its connection to your instruments as much as you can.

A: Many opamps are about 1KOhm Rnoise, thus 4nanoVolt / rtHz will be the noise density, if you use substantially lower resistors to set the gain. I'd use 200 ohm to ground, and 1,800 ohm Rfeedback, in a gain of +10X.
That arrangement provides 10X gain, out to 10% of the UnityGainBandwidth.
If you want more noise, use 200 ohms and 20,000 for Rfeedback. Your noise bandwidth will be 1% of UGBW.

Agriculture CAEP Fest Culture Life Experience Trainees and Interns
Communicating with music: Dandara Felix
November 20, 2013 CAEP
Dandara Felix, from Brazil, has always wanted to join an exchange program that focused on agriculture. She began her CAEP agriculture program in February 2013 after learning about the opportunity to gain practical and cultural experience in America.
"It has been really cool to see how many things that are in American movies are true," said Dandara. "When I watched American movies, I wondered if the things in them were true. It has been a great experience to see cars, houses, families, food, and lifestyles in America."
Dandara is training at a pig farm and learning about all aspects of swine care. Outside of her training, she has had the opportunity to travel around the United States to places like Chicago, Illinois.
"My host was planning a trip to Chicago and asked me and Fernando, another CAEP trainee, if we wanted to go with," said Dandara. "We went site seeing and met some people there that we walked around with. We stayed in a funny hotel. There was an area up on the roof and we all went up there at night and hung out and played the guitar."
Dandara began playing the guitar when she was ten years old.
"I told my mom that I wanted to learn to play the violin and she said that I learn the guitar instead. I started learning how to play for fun and then learned that I could sing too," said Dandara.
Dandara played in a band back in Brazil before college. She also performed at CAEP Fest at the Friday evening dance and at a talent show in the town of Ashby, Minnesota. She performed "Zombies," by The Cranberries in Portuguese for the first round. After making it to the final round, she performed the song again, this time in English.
"I performed the song in Portuguese the first time because I wanted to share some of my culture from back home with the community. After making it to the second round, I wanted to give them the opportunity to hear the lyrics that I was singing."
Dandara won second place at the Ashby talent show, impressing the small town along the way.
"When you are at your host site, you are busy learning and training," said Dandara. "I wanted to go CAEP Fest so that I could meet other people who are doing the same thing as me. I met a lot of trainees on Facebook so it was a great way to meet them in person and make plans to travel together."
For Dandara, there is a big difference between her culture back home in Brazil and the culture in the United States.
"There are many things that are different, like baseball," said Dandara. "We don't have baseball in Brazil so going to a Minnesota Twins game was a new experience and a lot of fun."
"I got what I always wanted through my CAEP program."

Minority Body, Locals Oppose Move to Transform East Delhi's Urdu-Medium School into English
MC Primary School (Urdu) Sri Ram Colony, East Delhi.
Waquar Hasan | Caravan Daily
NEW DELHI — Local residents of the Sri Ram Colony district in East Delhi has opposed East Delhi Municipal Corporation (EDMC)'s decision to transform an Urdu medium school into an English medium one.
Residents of the Khajuri area of Sri Ram Colony, which has around 90% Muslim population, has also met with the Union Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, and has submitted applications to various government bodies as well. These include Delhi Minority Commission, Education Commissioner, Additional Education Commissioner, Director of Education, EDMC mayor and Education chairman to oppose EDMC's move.
They have also submitted the signatures of 1000 people who are against the transformation of the medium from Urdu to English. Acting on the complaint filed by them, the commission has now ordered the department of education, EDMC, "not to change the medium of instruction of the said school and to start the upcoming school year as an Urdu-medium school only".
"An Urdu-medium school was approved and built after a decade-long struggle in Sri Ram Colony, Ward No.64E, Shahdara North Zone of EDMC. The building is now ready, sporting a board saying "EDMC Primary School Urdu". But somehow EDMC now wants to change the medium of instruction of this school to English while a vast majority of the people in the area want and have struggled for an Urdu-medium school all this while. One thousand people of the area have also approached the DMC for help," said the Commission while issuing an order not to change the medium of education.
Taking a very serious view on this, Delhi Minorities Commission has termed this approach as "illegal and whimsical" and said that "it was taken without consulting the people of the area".
Local resident Jamaluddin, who has been actively opposing the transformation, said that they will never allow the medium to be changed to English.
"90% of the people who live here are Muslims. The school has been built for the sole purpose of imparting Urdu education, which is rapidly on the decline. The infrastructure has been developed for an Urdu-medium school but some people in the EDMC want to transform it into an English medium one. We have been approaching governmental bodies to oppose the decision and met Union Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi regarding this," said Jamaluddin, while talking to Caravan Daily.
He said that it has been 3 years since the infrastructure for the school has been completed but they haven't started teaching there yet. When pressure is being mounted to start teaching, they want to turn it into an English-medium school. He further added that they would rally for a dharna and will not allow it to become an English medium school in any case.
Social activist Manzar Ali Khan, who has been raising this issue, said that there is no Urdu medium school in that area. There was only one school in which Urdu was being taught as a subject, where 5000 students spoke in Urdu. Given the situation, they demanded an Urdu-medium school and the infrastructure was developed for this purpose.
"Their mentality is sickening and they are just anti-Urdu in every possible way," said Manzar in conclusion.

Awards Research
The fight against osteoarthritis (OA) is on at the Kennedy Institute's Centre for Osteoarthritis Pathogenesis. We have been awarded two research grants looking at different aspects of OA with the ultimate aim of developing novel treatments for this painful and disabling condition.
OA is the most common type of arthritis in the UK, causing the joints to progressively become painful and stiff and making everyday tasks very difficult for patients. When a joint develops osteoarthritis, the cartilage on the end of the bone gradually roughens and becomes thin, whilst the bone underneath thickens.
Osteoarthritis is also the biggest healthcare challenge in rheumatology as there are no effective treatments available; patients rely on painkillers and eventually joint replacement surgery.
Professor Tonia Vincent, lead researcher for both projects says of the awards: "These two projects are deeply embedded within our OAPathogenesis Centre and will help to stratify patients for future clinical trials and to identify novel therapeutic targets'"
Cartilage repair.
In collaboration with researchers at Utrecht University, this innovative study will look to validate novel markers of cartilage repair in OA patients, paving the way for a potential powerful, cheap, and acceptable treatment for many with advanced OA.
New evidence suggests that osteoarthritic cartilage is able to repair itself if the adverse mechanical environment of the joint is corrected; this has a significant and sustained improvement in pain, but also on cartilage 're-growth'. Researchers have identified molecules – biomarkers – that are activated following joint injury and likely drive repair responses, in mouse models. Identifying these biomarkers of successful repair in OA patients has the potential to change the way we view disease, empower patients into believing that their disease is modifiable and open up new possibilities for cheaper, globally applicable treatments.
Project title: Identifying markers in the synovial fluid of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) that predict their ability to repair cartilage
Funder: Arthritis Research UK Project Grant
Novel non-invasive imaging method.
The team at the Kennedy Institute, led by Professor Tonia Vincent and Dr Ngee Han Lim, will work to develop a novel imaging agent that can be combined with microCT scanning to create a sensitive, quantitative cartilage assessment tool in OA.
Investigating the pathways that cause OA has been very challenging as the human condition is very variable in its course, it is difficult to obtain tissues from patients and we currently have no way of detecting early disease. In this context, animal models of OA have significant utility because disease can be studied at all stages of the condition, tissues are readily available, and the onset of disease is known.
Evaluation of joint damage both in clinic and in animal models of OA is hampered by the inability to image cartilage accurately and non-invasively. A non-invasive imaging method that would be able to visualise the degradation of cartilage over time would greatly reduce the numbers of animals being used in arthritis research, as well as being potentially translatable into a clinical imaging agent for early OA in humans.

President Donald Trump reacts after Republicans abruptly pulled their health care bill from the House floor in the Oval Office of the White House on March 24, 2017, in Washington, D.C. (Olivier Douliery/Abaca Press/TNS)
Put single-payer health care back on the table
Erica Etelson
Mar. 25, 2017 12:00 a.m.
With Trumpcare dead on arrival in Congress, Democrats have an opening to propose what they should have pushed for in the first place: single-payer health care for all. Fifty-eight percent of Americans, including 41 percent of Republicans, favor a federally funded health care system that provides universal coverage. Only 48 percent want to keep Obamacare as is.
Though Democrats are loathe to admit it, Obamacare is far from perfect. Some people pay higher premiums and out-of-pocket costs than they can afford. In some areas of the country, choices of doctors are limited. Compared to nations with single-payer systems, health outcomes are poor. And a small but vocal minority of Americans are troubled by Obamacare's individual mandate which, they believe, infringes on their liberty.
Under Obamacare, Americans spend more and pop more pills yet are chronically sicker and die younger than Canadians and Europeans who have single-payer health care systems that can negotiate lower prices, cap costs, streamline administrative overhead and, most importantly, put caring for people ahead of corporate profits.
Obama's Affordable Care Act was modeled after a blueprint created by the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation and adopted by Republican Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney. Right-wing Republicans like Newt Gingrich embraced the Heritage Foundation's individual mandate, back in the day, for one simple reason: It served to derail the Clintons' single-payer proposal.
Though they're now virulently opposed to Obamacare, right-wingers certainly prefer it over single-payer. Lucky for them, Democrats haven't put single-payer back on the table.
They ought to.
Bernie Sanders ran with remarkable success on a Medicare for All proposal that generated enormous excitement among the progressive wing of the party and sent shivers down the spine of the Democratic corporate establishment. Hillary Clinton, a one-time champion of single-payer, pounced on Sanders with alarmist, counterfactual claims that Sanders' proposal would increase costs and make people worse off.
While the GOP is still cringing over the humiliating defeat of its seven-year promise to repeal Obamacare, Democrats should kick them while they're down by introducing single-payer legislation. Even Trump-collaborator, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-WV, is starting to wise up, thanks to his constituents; at a recent town meeting, Manchin praised Canada's health care system and said he was taking a look at single-payer as an alternative to Obamacare.
As to the $1.4 trillion question of who will pay for single-payer, the short answer is … the rich. Sanders' platform called for Wall Street financial transaction taxes, capital gains tax hikes, restoration of the estate tax and the closing of loopholes that allow corporations and the super-rich to avoid paying their fair share of taxes. There's no shortage of progressive taxation ideas, but Democrats, beholden to the corporate elites who finance their campaigns, lack the will to put them forward.
The approval rating for the Democratic Party has sunk to 36 percent, lower even than Trump's. Many have given up hope that the Democrats stand for anything. We watched all too quietly while Bill Clinton dismantled welfare and deregulated Wall Street. We stood by while President Obama cut food stamps by $8.7 billion, pursued endless wars and bailed out the Wall Street predators whose greed and fraud triggered the Great Recession while leaving defrauded, underwater homeowners to fend for themselves (and that was back when the Democrats still had control of Congress).
We watched the Democratic National Committee undercut Sanders' candidacy. And we've watched the Democrats disappear the single-payer option by refusing to support Rep. John Conyers', D-MI, single-payer bill (HR 676). Enough.
The Democrats' lackluster opposition to Trumpism does not match the fierce and relentless resistance of their base. They can and must stop doubling down on the centrist "pragmatism" that has alienated growing numbers of voters and start acting like a party more committed to the health and well-being of the 99 percent than protecting the power and profits of oligarchs.
This populist moment in American politics is the Democrats' to seize. With a strong majority supporting single payer, the Democrat have a golden opportunity to give their dwindling base a reason to come home. As Trump said moments after conceding defeat, "Here's the good news: Health care is now totally the property of the Democrats." Good news indeed, if the Democrats know what to make of it.
