Believing the Lie
Written By: Elizabeth George
Narrated By: Davina Porter
#1 New York Times bestselling author of The Punishment She Deserves Elizabeth George has millions of fans following her Inspector Lynley series. As USA Today put it, 'It's tough to resist George's storytelling, once hooked.' With Believing the Lie, she's poised to hook countless more.Inspector Thomas Lynley is mystified when he's sent undercover to investigate the death of Ian Cresswell at the request of the man's uncle, the wealthy and influential Bernard Fairclough. The death has been ruled an accidental drowning, and nothing on the surface indicates otherwise. But when Lynley enlists the help of his friends Simon and Deborah St. James, the trio's digging soon reveals that the Fairclough clan is awash in secrets, lies, and motives.
Deborah's investigation of the prime suspect-Bernard's prodigal son Nicholas, a recovering drug addict-leads her to Nicholas's wife, a woman with whom she feels a kinship, a woman as fiercely protective as she is beautiful. Lynley and Simon delve for information from the rest of the family, including the victim's bitter ex-wife and the man he left her for, and Bernard himself. As the investigation escalates, the Fairclough family's veneer cracks, with deception and self-delusion threatening to destroy everyone from the Fairclough patriarch to Tim, the troubled son Ian left behind.

In an effort to try to figure out what's popular in bathroom remodeling right now, MSN polled several award-winning remodelers for insight on what homeowners are choosing as they redesign and remake their rooms.
It seems that how people spend their time bathing or showering is a big issue when it comes to remodeling—what kinds of things are important to you in a remodel?
Large Showers. A lot of people don't take baths anymore. There isn't as much time to run a bath and spend a long time in it. Instead, many homeowners are opting to make their showers much more luxurious.
Big showers with more glass are especially common, and in fact, many homeowners are removing tubs completely to make more room for their showers!
Soaking Tubs. Of course, some families still want their bathtubs, they're just choosing different tubs than a decade ago. Many homeowners are tired of noisy Jacuzzis and are instead going with deep, insulated, quiet bathtubs designed for soaking.
that many Jacuzzis needed, making it easier to get in and out.
Light. One of the biggest trends has nothing to do with showers, fixtures, tiles, or tubs—it's all about light. Many homeowners want more natural light in their homes, and especially the traditionally dark bathrooms.
The trend has caused there to be a much higher desire for windows and especially skylights in bathrooms.

WindAc Africa to spark wind energy discussions
FAST GROWING GREEN ECONOMY WindAc Africa is aimed at everybody who would like to discuss challenges which exist in the wind sector in South Africa
The South African Wind Energy Association (Sawea) highlights that a unique opportunity is arising for the first time for academics and researchers to share knowledge on wind energy in Africa, in the form of the first academic conference – WindAc Africa – on the subject to be held on the continent.
The conference will be hosted by Sawea in partnership with the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC). It was conceived as the sister event to the established annual wind energy-focused conference Windaba, which is entering its sixth year and will be held directly afterwards from November 2 to 3.
The organisation points out that the theme at Wind Energy Week, 'Towards 100% Renewables', will promote and, in some cases, establish academic exchange in South Africa, encouraging aspiring local students to pursue associated further education and to innovate.
WindAc Africa is also offering a special programme for 30 potential students, covering expenses such as the conference fee, travel and accommodation. A guided site visit to a wind farm and a networking dinner are also included.
Sawea notes that the student sponsorship programme has received an overwhelming response with 71 applications from students at Cape Peninsula University of Technology, Stellenbosch University, Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, University of the Witwatersrand, University of Cape Town, University of Limpopo, University of Fort Hare, University of KwaZulu-Natal, Tshwane University of Technology, University of Pretoria, University of Johannesburg, North-West University and University of the Free State.
"While the primary purpose of this programme is to bring superior wind research knowledge to South African students, the intention is also to reward the students for their excellent work, motivate and inspire them to pursue their academic path, and offer them the opportunity to network with their peers – the future leading experts in wind energy in Southern Africa," explains Sawea CEO Johan van den Berg.
Moreover, development agency supporting green economy businesses in the Western Cape GreenCape is sponsoring the student programme. GreenCape CEO Mike Mulcahy states: "This opportunity is in line with GreenCape's goal to enable the Western Cape to become the green economy hub of sub-Saharan Africa and its commitment to building skills in the growing green economy in South Africa."
WindAc Africa is aimed at everybody who would like to speak, discuss and find out about the challenges which exist to the growth of the wind sector in South Africa and globally and how these challenges can be addressed through scientific research, says Mulcahy.
He adds that Sawea is "very proud and most excited" to host the first academic wind conference in Africa in conjunction with GWEC. "The maturity, size and ambition of our industry makes it imperative. The time has arrived. It is the 'academic hour' for African wind power," says Van den Berg.
Meanwhile, South Africa is currently being celebrated as having the fastest growing green economy in the world, according to investors service Moody's Corporation. "There has never been a better time to establish such an event and the quality and prestige of its sponsors and supporters attest to this. These include the Danish Energy Agency, the Danish government and the South African Renewable Energy Technology Centre (Saretec)."
Danish ambassador to South Africa Trine Rask Thygesen describes the event, "as a spiralling gathering of multidisciplinary thinkers, professionals, experts and policymakers seeking to improve conditions for wind power and take the South African wind market to the next level by sharing, discussing and interacting with colleagues in the sector".
She adds that the academic focus on wind power in South Africa is vital to open up doors for new ways of thinking about wind power deployment, integration and optimisation, not just in terms of mechanical and electric engineering, but also reaching into the spheres of environmental, economic and political science.
The conference programme includes global speakers from around the world, as well as the leading experts from South Africa.
Additionally, a 'Business Meets Science' platform aims to foster dialogue between the South African wind research and wind energy industry community.

Bahamas To Become 'Cruise No.1' In 2012
By Neil Hartnell
As of Monday, January 9, 2012
Tribune Business Editor
THE BAHAMAS is expected to "exceed" and surpass Cozumel as the Caribbean's leading cruise destination if it maintains its current growth rate, the minister of tourism said, with 2011 stopover visitors to this nation projected to have ended the year just 2.1 per cent down on 2010.
Vincent Vanderpool-Wallace told Tribune Business that the air arrivals momentum generated in November and December 2011 was forecast to carry through the 2012 first quarter, with several months this year set to match 2008 pre-recession business volumes.
On the cruise ship front, Mr Vanderpool-Wallace said this nation was set to "exceed" Cozumel in terms of passenger visitor numbers, describing the Mexican port as "the biggest" destination in the Caribbean.
Gary Young, the Ministry of Tourism's senior director of research and statistics development, also told Tribune Business that stopover/air arrivals were projected to be up around 6 per cent year-over-year for the 2012 first quarter.
He added that air arrivals for January 2012 were forecast to be up 7-8 per cent, noting that this year was up against weak comparatives, after the same month in 2011 saw an 11 per cent decline in stopover visitors due to the weather-related travel disruption in the US.
"We don't have the final numbers for December, but we know they were up significantly, and November was up quite substantially over the previous year," Mr Vanderpool-Wallace told Tribune Business.
Year-to-date to October 2011, air arrivals were off by 3.8 per cent compared to 2010 figures, but projections supplied by the Ministry of Tourism show that November and December's performance was likely to close the gap by 1.7 percentage points to just 2.1 per cent down - not 2.9 per cent as previously reported elsewhere.
"The magnitude of the uptick in November and December was greater than anticipated, so we came in down by just over 2-plus per cent," Mr Vanderpool-Wallace added. "It's near certain that January is going to be significantly better than last year, and also February.
"No question about it. We like to break these things up into yearly increments, but a very clear uptick began in November and is going through to the first quarter of next year."
Many tend to look at tourism, and air/cruise passenger arrivals, as a 'numbers game', but the key factor for the Bahamian tourism industry and economy is the per capita tourist yield - how much money they are actually spending in the country.
Acknowledging that the recession had clearly impacted spending levels among leisure travellers, Mr Vanderpool-Wallace said the "biggest loss" for the Bahamas had occurred when group/convention business declined. These visitors, he said, tended to spend more per capita because the funding came from their companies, not their own pockets/
"The two of those go hand in hand," Mr Vanderpool-Wallace said. "Where we were hit most was by the fall-off in group business, which is expected to come back in the first quarter of this year."
Both Atlantis and Baha Mar executives have previously told Tribune Business that group business, which fell off by up to 30-50 per cent at the recession's height, had recovered substantially last year and was expected to return to close to pre-downturn levels with further growth in 2012.
"There's been quite a turnaround," Mr Vanderpool-Wallace said. "We're hearing them [the hotels] begin to say they're not too far off being close to what their best year was, 2008, so there's better news for 2012."
Mr Young, meanwhile, told Tribune Business that initial projections for December 2011, based on available data and trends, indicated that air arrivals were again likely to have increased by 8-9 per cent over 2010 figures.
He added: "In 2011, overall tourist arrivals should reach or be fairly close to 5.5 million. This represents a 4.6 per cent increase over 2010.
"At the end of October the increase was also 4.6 per cent. Note that to maintain the same percentage increase there would have to be improved performance in the last two months, given the larger base number at the end of the year.
"In fact, this is the case. In the last two months it is estimated that the growth in air arrivals cut the loss of air arrivals from -3.8 per cent at the end of October to -2.1 per cent for the year. This reflected the 9 per cent growth in November air arrivals to Nassau/Paradise Island, and the impact the sports events on Paradise Island and increased air lift into Grand Bahama had."
The tourism minister said that were it not for the weather-related disruptions in January and Hurricane Irene, 2011 air/stopover arrivals would have exceeded the previous year.
"Barring any substantial activity or event this year, we expect to have a number of months in 2012 where we are back to 2008 levels, which says a great deal for the recovery," he added.
Mr Vanderpool-Wallace told Tribune Business that the Bahamas' cruise business was "growing at a pace exceeding everyone's expectations", acknowledging that much of this nation's market had gone to three-five night cruises. These provided "high quality, low cost" vacations on three-five night cruises that enabled persons to see multiple Bahamian destinations.
"We expect, all things considered, the numbers to exceed Cozumel," the minister added of 2012. "We expect to exceed the numbers in Cozumel, given the rate of growth we see. They're the largest in this part of the world, so exceeding that will be a big achievement."
It is not clear whether Mr Vanderpool-Wallace was talking about the Bahamas as a whole, just Nassau/Paradise Island, or first port of call visitors. The Bahamas as a whole, according to Caribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO) data, is already ahead of Cozumel.
Foe the year to October 2011, the Bahamas saw a total 7.5 per cent increase in cruise visitors to 3.321 million, compared to 3.089 million for the same period in 2011. In contrast, Cozumel saw just a 0.8 per cent increase year-over-year for 2011 to September, reaching 2.2 million compared to 2.102 million for the same period in 2010.
For the last full year, 2010, Cozumel saw a dramatic 31 per cent growth rate to 2.911 million visitors, compared to the Bahamas' 3.8 million. Nassau also has some way to go to match Cozumel in its own right, estimates suggesting it attracted just under two million cruise passenger visitors for 2011, a total Cozumel surpassed in the first nine months of the year.
Mr Vanderpool-Wallace, though, said the nature of the Bahamas' cruise business "signifies a great deal about the lure of a Bahamas' vacation". Some 70 per cent of that business, he added, were those seeking the quality, low cost vacation, and the Bahamas' multiple islands and US proximity meant this was "unique to us".

How the EU spent billions to halt migration from Africa – The story of how we stopped a major refugee crisis
When the European Union (EU) was formed in 1993, it had a simple goal: to end its long-standing divide by unifying its member states' policies on immigration. A decade later, the bloc has become a leading advocate of "integration" through the adoption of progressive EU migration policies. These policies aim to ensure that all EU citizens are afforded the right to live and work in any state of member-state. The results have been dramatic. In the four years since the adoption of the landmark EU migration policy document, "Frontex", the bloc has taken unprecedented action to stem the flow of migrants from Africa, whose numbers have more than trebled. Enduring the migration crisis will require more than ever before the cooperation of member states. But the EU must also be ready to deliver on its core values.
Why is the EU so focused on migration?
The rise of populism and anti-migration sentiment across the West has prompted a major push by the EU to strengthen its governance and influence in the global arena. The EU's home state, Germany, is now one of the most vocal critics of the bloc's open-door migration policies. In a recent survey, German voters were the most critical of the EU's migration policy. The issue is at the heart of many of the key divisions felt in Europe.
Why has integration succeeded?
The success of the EU's integration strategy can be assessed in three areas. Prior to the start of the EU's engagement on integration, the bloc was home to more than 600 million people. Today, it has more than 28 million citizens, making it the biggest single-state club in the world. It has also gone from strength to strength, with its economy booming and more than three million new job opportunities created as a result of EU membership.
Key principles and values of the EU migration policy
The EU's migration policy is based on four main principles that guide the bloc's actions today:
Principle 1 – All European citizens have the right to live, work and study anywhere in the European Union.
Principle 2 – The European Union aims to protect the privacy and security of its citizens.
Principle 3 – The European Union is committed to ensuring common but differentiated responsibilities and liabilities for its member states.
Principle 4 – The European Union is rooted in Europe and based on values that Greeks, Romanians, Slovenes, Finns and other Europeans can all relate to.
The EU's most recent migration crisis, which began in 2015, led to tens of thousands of people fleeing conflict and terror in their home countries to seek safe haven in Europe. This was followed by an increase in the number of applications from people from outside the EU seeking asylum. The EU now faces a growing demand for help as a result of an unprecedented number of people seeking protection in its territory.
In the coming months and years, the EU will have to respond to these new challenges by adapting its migration policy to reflect the evolving security situation. The bloc must also continue to boost its cooperation with Africa, Asia and the Middle East. This will require the EU to adapt its approach to strengthen the collaboration between its member states.
The European Commission has estimated that while it has the legal capacity to handle a mass influx of people, it will only be able to take one extreme step: mandatory quotas on the number of people arriving in Europe.
In light of this, the EU should also consider implementing a "controlled" system of quotas, like Canada's program to resettle admitted refugees, or the US's program ofacial preference. These types of quotas tend to beasis of control and would limit the number of people allowed into a country based on a country's ability to properly absorb them.
Beyond that, the EU should focus on helping its members integrate their newcomers, especially in the areas of health, education and employment. This will require the union to modernize its internal rules, to reduce the number of rejected assimilation applications and to provide better services to its members.
How to follow the EU on migration
Finding out what the EU does and doesn't do: The European Commission, the union's executive body, has published a monthly "state of migration" report. These provide vital data about the number of people arriving in the EU and the number of people leaving. They also provide insight into how member states are dealing with the issue.
Keeping up with the latest developments: The EU's online news service, Euronews, provides breaking news and detailed analyses on current migration issues.
Follow the money: The flow of money within the European Union has an important role to play in combating migration. While the EU has made significant progress in uniting its member states behind a common migration policy, it has also become more centralized, with more and more wealth being generated at the expense of member states. It is crucial for the union to remain as connected, democratic and open as possible for as long as possible. It is also important to follow the money and see where the funding for the EU's migrant policies comes from.
The European Union can and must do more to stop the flow of people seeking to enter its territory. It is the largest economy in the world and has the means to stem the flow of migrants, but it is not doing enough.
The EU has a long and proud history of integration, but now it has a crisis that demands a united response. The union must find a way to effectively integrate its new members, while maintaining its liberal ideals in the process. It must also work to protect the values that made Europe great.


Words matter. Word choice matters. In reading, writing, and speaking choosing the right word, or the wrong one, can easily change the meaning of what is being communicated. When we talk about word choice in class I have my students take a critical look at the words used in written pieces. Newsela is perfect for this because they can toggle back and forth between reading levels to see how the words change while the overall meaning remains the same.
When I was looking for an activity to further support word study I stumbled up the Ten Important Words activity from the Scholastic blog. I saw the value in the activity and have since adapted it to fit with our use of Newsela.
Students will self-identify the 10 most important words in an article and use the annotation tool to explain why they chose those words.
Using the annotation tool, student will select 10 words from the article they feel are most important for understanding the content. Once a word is highlighted, they will add a written annotation explaining why they chose that particular word. Many kids will highlight and annotate as they're reading. Encourage kids to change their annotations as they narrow down their choices. They shouldn't just use the first 10 words they find. To take it a step further, students can highlight all the words in an article they think are important in one color and, as they narrow it down to 10, could change those words to a second color to show the progression in their thinking. If students are struggling with identifying important words, have them start with the Power Words and annotate why they think those words were chosen to be Power Words.
Model this by thinking aloud while you read through an article and identify the words you feel are most important and why.
Allow students to work in pairs or in groups and slowly transition to doing this on their own.

The United Kingdom's royal family has a super unique and traditional way of celebrating holidays, unlike a lot of families. This makes sense, of course, since they're the royal family after all. Because of this, people might not be surprised to find out that Prince William and Kate Middleton celebrated St. Patrick's Day in a very traditional way on Sunday.
While a lot of people in the United States spent their St. Patrick's Day weekend attending parades, drinking alcohol, and wearing green, Middleton and Prince William celebrated just a bit differently. While Middleton still wore green and the couple was still able to drink beer, their celebrations were just a bit more traditional and toned down.
On Sunday, the couple attended a St. Patrick's Day parade in West London, according to Harper's Bazaar. It was there where they flew the Irish flag, honored Irish Guards, and handed our sprigs of shamrock to certain officers, according to People. After meeting with soldiers and their families during the parade, the couple attended a lunch where they participated in a toast and got to sip on a pint of Guinness beer, according to People.
That really does sound like the perfect way to spend the holiday. Although it might not have been super rowdy, they got to attend a parade and drink a beer. Is that not the most ideal way for parents to spend a Sunday without their kids?
Even though their Sunday outing might sound like so much fun to others, their appearance was part of a long standing royal family tradition. Women in the royal family have handed out shamrocks to Irish Guards on St. Patrick's Day since 1901, according to Town & Country. And the couple has been doing this since 2012, one year after they got married.
But the couple celebrated St. Patrick's Day a bit differently this year than they did last year. During the parade in 2018, Middleton was eight months pregnant with her third child, according to PopSugar. And during their lunchtime toast, the Duchess of Cambridge had to sip on a glass of water, according to TODAY. So, this year, she was probably very happy to have a much earned treat.
As previously stated, recognizing Irish Guards on St. Patrick's Day has been a very long standing tradition. This was started by Queen Victoria in 1901 to honor the soldiers in one of the "British empire's most brutal wars," according to Vox. Each year since then, someone from the royal family has presented the guards with sprigs of shamrock to pin on their hats. Although it might look a little silly, everyone knows that the royal family is big on tradition. And tradition is one thing that you don't put an end to in the royal family.
St. Patrick's Day is one of those holidays that is fun no matter how it is spent. Whether it's spent hanging out with friends, drinking your favorite beer, attending a parade, or doing all of those things, there is always a good time to be had. And there's no denying that Prince William and Middleton had an excellent St. Patrick's Day this year.


Daphnia are truly amazing. They are often called 'water fleas' as they look like tiny fleas swimming around in lakes and ponds. However, they are harmless and fascinating to observe. You can easily find some at home – just scoop a bit of water out of your pond with a pot and hopefully there'll be plenty of these complex organisms bobbing about!
Believe it or not, Daphnia are actually tiny crustaceans, related to crabs, lobsters and woodlice. The reason they don't look very similar is that the shell of Daphnia is uncalcified (not hard). This means they're see through, and so great to put under a microscope. Yesterday and today I collected a few Daphnia from the pond with my pipette (like a small turkey baster), put a drop of water containing the Daphnia on a microscope slide and placed a cover slip gently on top so that the Daphnia wouldn't be squashed.
Looking at them under a microscope reveals a whole new view on their lives, which we could never see with the naked eye. This photo I took yesterday and I find it most intriguing, Daphnia obtusa giving birth!
In the photo you can make out a smaller version of the adult Daphnia just below it's rear end, at the bottom. Look for the black eye. To add to that, as the Daphnia is see through, you can also see its twin still inside the adult!
The antennules – These are antennae, but instead of being sensory organs, they have evolved to be used to propel the Daphnia through the water. The 'proper' antennae are found beneath the rostrum, and are tiny. The mound on which the 'proper' antennae are born, sensibly called the antennal mound, is an important identification feature of Daphnia obtusa and is just visible in the image above. Daphnia obtusa has a noticeably larger antennal mound than similar species like Daphnia pulex.


Founded in 2014, MeetnGreetMe is a global ecosystem where every traveler can request services tailored to their travel needs and budget. The services are delivered by resourceful local people and paid for via a blockchain-enabled, peer-to-peer payment system.
The token on the MeetnGreetMe platform is the WelcomeCoin, or WEL.
MeetnGreetMe's ICO is scheduled to take place from March 27, 2018 through May 21, 2018. Learn more on our MeetnGreetMe ICO page.
MeetnGreetMe's vision is to make travel simple and pleasant for everyone.
If you have ever traveled on your own to an unfamiliar place, you know that the experience can range from intimidating to downright disastrous. Everything from deciding where to eat and stay, to navigating local transportation networks, to handling unsafe situations may pose a challenge. This is particularly true if you are in a place where you do not speak the local language or understand the culture.
Websites like TripAdvisor and Yelp help to alleviate these challenges to a certain degree, but they do not provide personalized assistance or help in an emergency. Accommodations services such as Airbnb also sometimes provide hosts who can deliver some personal support to travelers, but that is not their primary focus, and the extent to which hosts are willing to offer personal assistance to their guests varies widely.
MeetnGreetMe aims to offer a better solution for travelers by providing what it describes as personalized concierge services. The platform connects travelers with local people who are willing to provide a range of services that travelers might request.
Services include basic assistance with items such as language translations and booking accommodations, as well as more extensive help, such as driving travelers to destinations and assisting with shopping. MeetnGreetMe says that its services can be tailored to individual travelers' needs and budgets.
The blockchain's role in the platform is to facilitate payments in an efficient way, as well as execute contracts automatically.
Elena Shkarubo, CEO. A native of Belarus, Shkarubo has worked in Russia and studied in Britain. Prior to co-founding MeetnGreetMe, she worked in finance.
Andrew Gaidukevich, CTO. Gaidukevich has a background in software development.
Nick Vyhouski, Creative Director. Vyhouski's career has centered on digital design.
The MeetnGreetMe executive team has not been involved in prior blockchain projects, but at least one of the leaders has worked with successful startups, such as Toptal.
The platform enables peer-to-peer payments for people who use the platform. Peer-to-peer payments eliminate the need for middlemen and high transaction fees.
Concierge services can be ordered and paid for via smart contracts.
Participants in the platform are rewarded via tokens for their contributions as the platform grows.
Tokens help the platform to operate in a decentralized, crowd-sourced fashion.
WEL tokens can be purchased using Ether. Token owners get early access to the MeetnGreetMe network.
MeetnGreetMe maintains an active Twitter account, Facebook account, and LinkedIn account. The team can also be contacted on Telegram.
The code for MeetnGreetMe WEL smart contracts is available on GitHub. Other platform source code does not appear to be publicly available.
MeetnGreetMe is an attractive investment because it is the only platform of its kind. This is true not just within the blockchain ecosystem, where no other company is building a similar set of services currently, but in the wider hospitality industry.
Although MeetnGreetMe competes in some ways with companies like Airbnb and personalized concierge firms, there is no other digital personalized concierge platform that aims to be international in scope and that leverages the blockchain to streamline payments. These features make MeetnGreetMe promising, as does the enthusiastic community that has arisen around the project.
Perhaps the only component of the platform that remains somewhat uncertain is the way MeetnGreetMe leverages digital tokens. It is not entirely clear why the platform requires its own token; smart contracts and peer-to-peer payments could also be achieved using bitcoin, Ether, or other altcoins. The WEL token does not appear totally crucial to the platform since it is a payment mechanism more than anything else.
Otherwise, MeetnGreetMe's token sale stands out as one of the more promising ICOs of 2018.

McCain's sarcasm was characteristic. So was the legislative result. His amendment failed by a 61-37 vote, with Obama joining a number of McCain's fellow Republicans in defeating it.
"John McCain is a tightwad," said John Block, a former agriculture secretary under President Reagan and now an adviser to McCain. "Without question, he would tighten down on spending."
On the campaign trail, both Obama and McCain present themselves as agents of change. Neither candidate, however, has yet imposed his vision on federal farm policy.
In part, both senators have placed their priorities elsewhere. Neither is a member of the Senate Agriculture Committee, which writes the once-every-five-year farm bill.
McCain didn't vote on the initial Senate farm bill in December. Neither did Obama, and nor did several other senators then running for president. Neither McCain nor Obama offered amendments to the 1,360-page bill on the Senate floor. Instead, both primarily confined themselves to rhetorical positioning.
Citing individual provisions such as aid to West Coast salmon fishermen and funding for California and Michigan asparagus growers, McCain denounced the $296 billion bill as the product of a "congressional feeding frenzy." Farm bills, in general, have fit into McCain's standard campaign narrative of a bloated Congress out of control.
Although McCain missed the final farm bill votes on May 15, he had inserted a written statement into the Congressional Record noting that he "proudly" co-sponsored an earlier amendment to tighten subsidy payments to wealthy farmers. But when that amendment came to the Senate floor in December, McCain also was absent. He was the only senator to miss the vote on the amendment, which failed narrowly.
Obama, too, supported the failed amendment limiting subsidies. And like McCain, he missed the May farm bill votes. In a written statement, though, Obama praised the overall package of subsidies.
"It provides a strong safety net for farmers, and gives them the certainty needed in a sector that provides an important human resource — food — amidst the unpredictable dynamics of weather and markets," Obama said.
Obama further showcased his own priorities by devoting half his 800-word statement to discussing the two topics of low-income food assistance and legal relief for black farmers who claim they were discriminated against.
"He does understand there's a need for investment (in agriculture)," said Rep. Dennis Cardoza, a California Democrat who's on the House Agriculture Committee. "He was supportive."
McCain and Obama both hold positions directly relevant to farmers beyond the farm bill. McCain, for instance, adamantly supports free trade and argues that proposed trade pacts with Colombia and South Korea will open up new agricultural markets.
Obama, in contrast, has been more skeptical on trade. He voted in 2005 against a free-trade pact with the Dominican Republic and Central America. He calls a proposed South Korean free-trade deal bad for American workers and says he would amend the North American Free Trade Agreement to boost labor protections.
Both do well at harvesting campaign dollars from farm country, but McCain does it better.
McCain, for all his criticisms of the agricultural status quo, has collected for his presidential campaign $2.2 million from agriculture-related interests and individuals, according to records compiled by OpenSecrets.org. This is twice as much as Obama has collected.
"It's a very hard thing to change overnight," Block, the former agriculture secretary, said of farm policy, "but (McCain) is going to use a veto pen. There's no question he wants to be a reformer."

"The Copper Scroll"
by Dr. D ~
By Joel C. Rosenberg (Carol Stream, Ill.: Tyndale Pub., Inc., 2006, 366 pgs.)
This is the fourth book in this series, following: The Ezekiel Option, The Last Days, & The Last Jihad. Jon Bennett continues as the main character, along with Erin McCoy. The first question answered in this book, do Jon and Erin finally get married? It opens with preparations for their wedding, however new events over take them in the process. I will leave it the reader to discover whether the wedding actually takes place.
This is an incredibly great summer read. The action and adventure reminds one not only of the previous episodes in this series, but also it is a cross between Raiders of The Lost Ark and Da Vinci Code. It is a 'can't put down tell it is finished' adventure with Middle East terrorism as the backdrop, and Christian/Judaic Prophesy and Eschatology as the subject. Unlike 'Da Vinci' or 'Raiders', this book is totally safe for Christian consumption.
'The Copper Scroll' is an actual ancient artifact that was discovered along with the 'Dead Sea Scrolls'. It contains directions to finding actual Temple vessels and treasures which were hidden before the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD. Many have speculated about the possibility that there is a document or scroll that is still missing which contains the 'key' for interpreting the Copper Scroll. To Date, none of the treasure or vessels listed on the scroll have been located. At the end of the book, the author provides a bibliography of sources about the Copper Scroll, the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Biblical prophecies about a coming Temple.

When Loss, Displacement and Hope come together ….
Loss, Displacement and Hope have been my subjects in a generative form.The mixed media creates, in some works, some transparencies, as a ghost- effect, empty spaces.
The artworks provide indirect and subtle commentary on a variety of topics, from questioning of artificial boundaries, its manufactured culture and established notions and forms, ethnic homogenization, the absurd, gender prejudice, the banal, and the environment ... to the goodness in the human spirit.
I have chosen this mixed media because of its possibilities and transparency. No other medium gave me this freedom of having both ,the possibility of using oils with other mediums, and turn it into an sculpture with transparencies.
Latex, polyester ,resins, polymers , oils ,acrylics, rubbers have been a vehicle that I have been looking for to re-connect since long time. My first experience working with these mediums was in 1980.

File picture shows shipping containers at the Port Newark Container Terminal in Newark, New Jersey, US on July 2, 2009. — Reuters picWASHINGTON, Aug 4 — The US trade deficit fell sharply in June as exports increased to their highest level in 2-1/2 years, a positive development for the economy.
The Commerce Department said today the trade gap decreased 5.9 per cent to US$43.6 billion, the lowest level since October 2016. May's trade deficit was revised slightly down to US$46.4 billion from the previously reported US$46.5 billion.
Economists polled by Reuters had forecast the trade shortfall narrowing to US$45.0 billion in June.
When adjusted for inflation, the trade deficit fell to US$61.0 billion from US$62.8 billion in May. Real goods exports surged to an all-time high of US$126.9 billion in June, buoyed by record high petroleum exports.
The government reported last Friday that trade contributed almost two-tenths of a percentage point to the economy's 2.6 per cent annualized growth pace in the second quarter.
In June, exports of goods and services increased 1.2 per cent to US$194.4 billion, the highest level since December 2014. There were increases in exports of capital goods, food and motor vehicles. Exports to China fell 4.7 per cent.
Imports of goods and services slipped 0.2 per cent to US$238.0 billion in June. There were decreases in imports of industrial supplies and materials. Imports of cell phones and other household goods fell US$0.9 billion, accounting for the bulk of the US$0.7 billion decrease in consumer goods imports.
