Tottenham kept themselves in the title race with a hard-fought victory over Leicester City today.
Spurs had to deal with a late Leicester charge but they held out for a valuable three points.
Mauricio Pochettino's side are now five points behind leaders Liverpool.
Just after the hour mark, a lovely Christian Eriksen cross set up Davinson Sanchez for the opener.
The Dane then produced a moment of brilliance to put the hosts 2-0 up in the second half.
There was drama minutes before Eriksen's goal as Jamie Vardy came straight off the bench to take a penalty.
His effort was saved by Hugo Lloris but Vardy dusted himself off and added a newfound urgency to the Leicester attack.
He tapped in Ricardo Pereira's low cross in the 76th minute to set up a tense finish.
Pereira set him up for another chance minutes later but Vardy's effort flew over the bar this time.
In-form Son Heung-min sealed the three points for Pochettino's side in the 91st minute.
Tottenham sit two points off Manchester City, who face Chelsea today, and five points off Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.

Grace Millane: Backpacker's murderer loses conviction and sentence appeal | #tinder | #pof
The man found guilty of murdering British backpacker Grace Millane has lost his appeal against his conviction and prison sentence – but he still can't be named.
The 28-year-old, who now has name suppression until further court order, was sentenced to life in prison with a minimum non-parole period of 17 years for the murder of Grace, 21, who was from Essex in the UK.
The graduate of England's University of Lincoln died sometime between December 1 and 2, 2018 after she went on a Tinder date with the man in Auckland's CBD.
The Crown, at trial, said the man strangled Grace for a prolonged period. The man denied murder and claimed her death was a tragic accident after the pair had consensual rough sex.
* Grace Millane's killer launches last-ditch effort to keep his name secret
* Grace Millane: Backpacker's killer appeals murder conviction and sentence
* Grace Millane: Backpacker's killer takes case to Court of Appeal
On Friday, Justice Stephen Kos, Justice Patricia Courtney and Justice Mark Cooper released their decision and dismissed the man's appeal against his conviction and sentence.
Earlier on Friday, the man successfully made a final attempt to keep his name a secret by appealing the Supreme Court.
The New Zealand media would then have been able to publish the 28-year-old's name for the first time.
However, just three and-a-half hours before the Court of Appeal's decision was to be released, the man's lawyer filed a notice of an appeal.
At 10.50am, the Supreme Court ordered the man to have name suppression until a further order of the court.
RYAN ANDERSON/STUFF
Grace Millane's father said they will return home to try to pick up the pieces of their lives. (First published November 2019)
'CONSENT IS NO DEFENCE'
At the Court of Appeal in August, the man's lawyer, Rachael Reed QC, said there were four grounds on which the trial process had miscarried.
Those were how much emphasis was placed on the element of consent, expert evidence, the probability of death occurring from the strangulation, and the negative evidence given by other women about the man's character.
Reed said no person could consent to their own death, but the jury should have considered whether Grace consented to the application of pressure to her neck, and whether the man exceeded the bounds of her consent.
"Did he have time to realise [consent] had occurred prior to her death and if he did, did he maintain an honest belief in consent at that time?
"Consent shouldn't be removed just because someone has died," she said.
Yvonne Wang and Rachael Reed QC (right) were the man's lawyer at the Court of Appeal.
However, Crown prosecutor Brian Dickey maintained consent was not a defence to murder.
"What actual evidence was there to sustain the proposition this was an accidental death in a consensual sexual encounter?" he asked.
"Nowhere in [one of the defendant's police interviews] does he link what he did to her death," Dickey said.
"We have the most flimsy basis of consent."
Grace Millane was backpacking in New Zealand before she was killed.
'INEXCUSABLE AND ABHORRENT'
After Grace's death, the killer took intimate photos of her body, searched for pornography and went on a Tinder date with another woman.
He then buried her in a shallow grave in West Auckland's Wait?kere Ranges.
At trial, the man's then-defence lawyer Ian Brookie said the pair had taken intimate photos of each other before Grace died.
However, at the Court of Appeal, Reed said the killer's the actions after Grace's death were "abhorrent".
"I cannot [excuse his actions] as they are inexcusable," Reed said.
LAWRENCE SMITH/Stuff
Crown prosecutors Brian Dickey and Robin McCoubrey said the man's sentence was correct.
During the trial, Justice Moore mistakenly found the bruising on Grace's body was "significant" when evidence suggested it was not, Reed said.
Justice Moore also placed too much weight on the man's degree of callousness, she said, claiming his actions after Grace's death did not mean he was callous at the time of her death.
Crown prosecutor Robin McCoubrey said the killer deserved his minimum 17-year sentence.
"A woman can't be more exposed at that point in which she's engaging in sexual relations, she was particularly vulnerable," McCoubrey said.
"You're involved in the most intimate activity … the last thing on your mind is that you're about to be murdered by your sexual partner."

Mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription subunit 24 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MED24 gene.

Function

This gene encodes a component of the mediator complex (also known as TRAP, SMCC, DRIP, or ARC), a transcriptional coactivator complex thought to be required for the expression of almost all genes. The mediator complex is recruited by transcriptional activators or nuclear receptors to induce gene expression, possibly by interacting with RNA polymerase II and promoting the formation of a transcriptional pre-initiation complex. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Interactions

MED24 has been shown to interact with Estrogen receptor alpha, Cyclin-dependent kinase 8, Calcitriol receptor and BRCA1.

British officials are confirming tonight that top US military officials have issued a "blunt warning" to UK military commanders not to go along with any calls by Prime Minister David Cameron to reduce the number of troops in Afghanistan.
Cameron was confirmed last week to be pushing the military for plans to begin a pullout by July, to coincide with the nominal US drawdown allegedly coming at the same time. Cameron was also said to be keen on having the pullout finished before the 2014 general election.
British military commanders met this call with resistance, and have urged the Cameron government to formalize a plan to keep the troops in Afghanistan for years after 2014. The inclusion of the US warnings adds more context to these calls.
Indeed, the reports have the US military cautioning that a British pullout could do serious damage to US-UK ties, and has British officials confirmed that the "special relationship" between the two nations could be over if the Conservative prime minister does not commit to an open-ended involvement in the US-led war.
To Hell with a special relationship, just pull out the troops now. Special relationships with the USA mean that you do as they say or you will get wacked. Canada will be out by this summer except in some token training role. Other countries should vamoose as well and let the Americans die slowly in their own predicament. What, is America going to bribe other partners to do their will with money that they have to borrow from China? Give me a break!
Did I miss something? Is the US suggesting a coup in GB?? As far as special relationship goes that seems distinctly one-sided. Perhaps the Brits would view it as more special if the US stepped up a little more in Libya, not that I think that's a good idea.
What is the benefit to Britain (or any western country), of "US ties"? Insults? Commands? Being barked at?
The Brits ought to say "screw the US and their 'special relationship'"
More "warnings"? Are they planning some sort of "incident" to keep the players fearfully in line?
"warnings" are accepted way of conveying messages and convincing others to willingly provide cannon fodder.
At least Cameron is trying to be realistic. Britain has had a long history with Afghanistan. Obama will wait until after the election next year before he starts pulling out US troops because he too is realistic but does not want the Republicans saying that he was the man " who lost Afghanistan" going into this election.
Godfather Obama is in Afghanistan because of the Trans-Afghan Pipeline. Get out now !
Politicians must decide and army has no right to resist, no doubt they get money but treausry is empty.
We are fighting unjust war for american lies on 9/11 and the world is suferring at large. Hell will american genocide.
What the hell are "US military officials" doing telling foreign militaries what they must do? They're not supposed to decide foreign policy. These military officials seem to think they are now the state department. It seems like the military is running the country.
Breaking news PM David Cameron has been locked in the bathroom at No. 10 by Sir James Jeffrey Corfield Bucknall, CBE, OW and is not being permitted to leave. A food slit has been cut in the door. Developing.
I wonder how much of this is to make sure the British National Party does not take hold?
What F****** right does the US military have to tell other countries militaries what to do? Who are they to threaten anyone? They are supposed to be taking their orders from Wasington. The devil take this "special relationship" BULL****. The British have gained nothing from it at all that I can see. Indeed it has cost them much. The UK would be better off in every possible way if it abandoned the "special relationship". Somebody needs to tell Downing street that the WW2 sentimental bombast nonsense is obsolete and kaput. Seriously, the "special relationship" and a quarter won't buy an Englishman a cup of cofeee….but it will get them killed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Alarming, alarming, indeed. Maybe Obama, who promised us a good war in Afghanistan, should take a look and see why the British lackeys are getting ready to leave, as they left Iraq.
Hang on mate! I thought we in 'OZ' had the special relationship with the US? We were your bloody 'deputy sheriff' in South East Asia….remember? Well f*** you, we quit!
If our Govt. had any decency and honour they should have pulled us out of the middle east 'killing fields' years ago.
We do not need American approval to get out, we just need to get out! America is on the way out, permanently! Sorry folks, our dollar buys around $1.07 American (and rising) there is talk of $1.40 American in the next 12 months or so. Unemployment rate 4.8% and falling! (we will need many thousands of immigrants to our 'lucky country' for at least the next 10 years or so) Social services for ALL who require them. Come on yanks, get out while you can.
Australia……A Social Democracy at work.
Canada also seems to think it has some kind of "special relationship" with America. Maybe the US is a closet bigamist.

60 year old Osama Ibrahim, a university professor from Iraq had been feeling out of breath and dizzy during daily activities for a few months. After initial hospital tests in his home country he was diagnosed with ischemic heart disease in three vessels. There was a lack of basic infrastructure for the advanced procedures required for his treatment in his home country, so he began to look out healthcare options internationally.
After some basic research, he found our website and started looking for treatment options in India. Our team at EasyCure immediately got in touch with him and reviewed his case history. They consulted with the best hospitals and cardiology experts in Bangalore after sharing all the medical test reports. After reviewing his case thoroughly and assessing all of the pros and cons, we recommended him to travel to India to undergo treatment for his condition. Our team gave him several options of the top cardiac surgeons for his treatment. After some consideration, he chose Dr. Sathyaki P Nambala, a veteran cardiothoracic surgeon with over 20 years of experience who is Senior Consultant, Cardio-Thoracic and Vascular Surgery at Apollo Hospitals Bangalore. He arrived at Bangalore on 18th of September 2018. Our ground team received him at the airport and brought him to convenient accommodation near the hospital. On the 24th of September he was admitted at the hospital and the expert team of cardiac professionals immediately conducted tests to assess his overall vitals. He was diagnosed with IHD with TVCAD with Grade 3 diastolic dysfunction. After assessing his complete medical history and existing health conditions, the course of treatment recommended to him was minimally invasive Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). After getting his consent he underwent hemodialysis clearances for surgery. He underwent MICS CABG X 3 Grafts, LIMA-LAD, SVG-PDA, OM on 1 October 2018, hardly a week after he first arrived in India. The procedure went smoothly without any complication and post operation recovery was uneventful. He was advised to take rest for the next 3 months with no strenuous exertion. On 10th October he was officially discharged.

What pure functional programming is all about: Part 1.
This is a technical post series about pure functional programming. The intended audience is general programmers who are familiar with closures and some functional programming.
We're going to be seeing how pure functional programming differs from regular "functional programming", in a significant way.
We're going to be looking at a little language theory, type theory, and implementation and practice of pure functional programming.
We'll look at correctness, architecture, and performance of pure programs.
In closing we'll conclude that typed purely functional programming matters, and in a different way to what is meant by "functional programming".
Firstly, we'll start with a pinch of theory, but not enough to bore you. We'll then look at how functional programming differs from "pure" functional programming. I'll establish what we mean by "side-effects". Finally, I'll try to motivate using pure languages from a correctness perspective.
A function is a relation between terms. Every input term has exactly one output term. That's as simple as it gets.
The type might be Character and the terms might be Homer, Marge, SideShowBob, FrankGrimes, InanimateCarbonRod, etc.
This is the core of functional programming, and without type theory, it's hard to even talk formally about the meaning of functional programs.
Get it? I thought so. We'll come back to this later.
Functional programming as used generally by us as an industry tends to mean using first-class functions, closures that capture their environment properly, immutable data structures, trying to write code that doesn't have side-effects, and things like that.
That's perfectly reasonable, but it's distinct from pure functional programming. It's called "pure functional", because it has only functions as defined in the previous section. But why aren't there proper functions in the popular meaning of functional programming?
It's something of a misnomer that many popular languages use this term function. If you read the language specification for Scheme, you may notice that it uses the term procedure. Some procedures may implement functions like cosine, but not all procedures are functions, in fact most aren't. Any procedure can do cheeky arbitrary effects. But for the rest of popular languages, it's a misnomer we accept.
Let's look into why this is problematic in the next few sections.
What actually are side-effects, really? What's purity? I'll establish what I am going to mean in this series of blog posts. There are plenty of other working definitions.
These are all things you cannot do in a pure function, because they're not explicit inputs into or explicit outputs of the function.
In C#, the expression DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay has type TimeSpan, it's not a function with inputs. If you put it in your program, you'll get the time since midnight when evaluating it. Why?
But none of these things can be observed during evaluation of a pure functional language. There isn't a meaningful pure function that returns the current time, or the current memory use, and there usually isn't a function that asks if the program is currently in an infinite loop.
So I am going to use a meaning of purity like this: an effect is something implicit that you can observe during evaluation of your program.
We'll look at the theoretical and practical benefits of programming in a language that only has functions during this series.
In a pure language, every expression is pure. That means you can move things around without worrying about implicit dependencies. Function composition is a basic property that lets you take two functions and make a third out of them.
Each command takes an input and produces an output, and you compose them together with |.
We'll use this concept to study equational reasoning next.
The f and g variables represent any function you might use in their place.
Map doesn't change the length or shape of the data structure.
For example, applying a function that adds 1 across a list, and then applying a function that takes the square root, is equivalent to applying a function across a list that does both things in one, i.e. adding one and taking the square root.
So you can refactor your code into the latter!
Actually, whether the refactor was a good idea or a bad idea depends on the code in question. It might perform better, because you put the first and the second function in one loop, instead of two separate loops (and two separate lists). On the other hand, the original code is probably easier to read. "Map this, map that ..."
You want the freedom to choose between the two, and to make transformations like this freely you need to be able to reason about your code.
So we return back to the original section "Functional programming isn't", and why the fact that some procedures are functions doesn't get you the same reliable reasoning as when you can only define functions.
A benefit like being able to transform and reason about your code translates to practical pay-off because most people are changing their code every day, and trying to understand what their colleagues have written. This example is both something you might do in a real codebase and a super reduced down version of what horrors can happen in the large.
In this post I've laid down some terms and setup for follow up posts.
We've looked at what purity is and what it isn't.
We've looked at functions and function composition.
We've looked at how reasoning is easier if you only have functions. We'll circle back to this in coming posts when we get to more detailed reasoning and optimizations.
SQL as a pure language, which is a familiar language to almost everybody.
How pure languages deal with the real-world and doing side-effects, which are obviously practical things to do.
Evaluation vs execution, the generalization of pure vs impure languages.
After that, we'll explore the performance and declarative-code-writing benefits of pure functional languages in particular detail, looking at generated code, assembly, performance, etc.

This time of year the magnolias show off their seedpods. I always find the seedpods fascinating. These photos were taken outside our local hospital. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to comment of my posts. I've had a rough month or two and I really appreciated the comments.
Jan, so sorry to hear you've been having a rough time. There's a lot of that going around. Hope things pick up soon for you. And I love your magnolia seedpods. They are so fantastic!
now I learned something new. Can´t remember seeing the seed of Magnolias. I love magnolia bur can´t remember seing such seeds.
I think the seed pods are so interesting. I have never seen them except for in photos.
Sorry you have been having a rough time, Jan. Wishing you all the best!
Hey Jan, like you mentioned last time that your husband is back. I hope he's doing well and that the rough times are history!
take care Jan. Enjoyed your magnolia photos; interesting to see the seedpods like that.
Beautiful seedpods, Jan. I can't recall having seen anything like that on magnolia trees here.
The first shot, against the blue sky is superb!
They are beautiful! The seedpods are really pretty. Have a great day!
What beautiful tones and contrasts. Stunning nature shots.
These are very pretty, almost remind me of a pomegranate because of the color. I'm Linked up, thanks for hosting.

Anti-HSR rail forces renew call for new alignment (California High-Speed Rail Blog)
Bullet train plan proponent Robert Cruickshank writes that those pushing for a rail line across/under the Tejon Pass are, in fact, floating a plan that would kill California's high-speed rail project by making it more complex than it already is and less likely to attract private investment. It would also take Bakersfield and Fresno off the route's main line — making some Kings County residents happy but defeating the purpose of the project, which is to tie together major cities across the southern half of the state.
Researchers say mountain lion killed on the 101 freeway probably from the north (Ventura County Star)
The cougar killed in Agoura Hills in October was trying to get from the north to area south of the 101 freeway, where there is a small group of lions inhabiting the Santa Monica Mountains. The fear for many years is that the lions in the Santa Monicas will hit a genetic bottleneck unless their population is allowed to mingle and mate with the larger number of lions up north in the Santa Susana and San Gabriel ranges. Caltrans has twice come up short with the $10 million needed for a wildlife tunnel near the Liberty Canyon exit. While wildlife crossings are sometimes mocked by the media (not the Star), they work elsewhere and I hope something can be done here — it's smart wildlife management.

Showing up to work tired is just like showing up to work drunk (Marketplace)
Okay, not a transportation story per se, but it reminded me of a Gold Line ride last week when three of the four of us sitting on the aisle-facing seats slipped into a deep slumber in the middle of the day. And I was only riding from Del Mar to Union Station — a 19-minute ride.
As the story says, the average American is getting 90 minutes less sleep these days as usual and one of the culprits is the unending and around-the-clock cascade of work emails that people are getting on their smartphones. To put it another way, people are not being given a chance to stop thinking about work.

Japan to urge oil producers to boost output amid price surge
KYODO NEWS - Oct 18, 2021 - 19:34 | All, Japan, World
Japan will urge OPEC and its allies to boost oil production, industry minister Koichi Hagiuda said Friday, as prices have surged on concern that a post-coronavirus increase in demand will outstrip supply.
Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi held phone talks with his Kuwaiti counterpart Ahmad Nasser Al-Mohammed Al-Sabah and asked for the Middle Eastern country to help stabilize prices by increasing output.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida speaks to reporters at his office in Tokyo on Oct. 18, 2021. (Kyodo)
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, collectively known as OPEC+, are set to hold a ministerial meeting on Nov. 4, and Hagiuda said Japan will continue calling for increased production in the lead-up.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida instructed members of his Cabinet to look out for the effects of the price surge on Japan's economy, telling reporters, "We are closely watching movements in the crude oil market as well as the impact on domestic industry and households."
Oil prices have climbed sharply over the past two months as demand recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, with benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude futures rising to $82.28 per barrel on Friday in New York.
Last week, the average price of regular gasoline in Japan hit a seven-year high of 162.10 yen ($1.42) per liter, possibly putting a damper on household spending at a time when domestic travel is expected to increase after the state of emergency was lifted at the start of this month.
Cabinet members, including Hagiuda and Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno, held an emergency meeting Monday to discuss the government's response to the price surge.
Kishida said he instructed them to work with the International Energy Agency to call on oil producers to increase output and "swiftly take appropriate action" to help industries that may be negatively affected.
Hagiuda told reporters that the government has safeguards for industries such as transport, farming, and fisheries that could be hit hard because fuel makes up a large part of their expenses.

After a long morning doing yard work, I decided to call it an afternoon and get some relaxation. With that said, I had a rack of baby back ribs marinating overnight, and decided I would have an afternoon of smoking the ribs. Whenever I begin the smoking process, I always look for other items to smoke. This particular afternoon yielded not only the ribs, but a couple of trout, and for kicks, some portabella mushrooms that I had leftover from making pizza tots.
I am always looking for new ideas and took a chance on the mushrooms. I had never smoked them before, so I was more than interested to see how they would turn out. Let's just start by saying my wife loved them. I mean, really loved them.
Yep, that's it. Two ingredients. Big flavor.
I use a vertical drum style smoker. It's nothing fancy, but it holds the heat, and always does a good job, whatever the season. It also has a mid compartment which holds a container of water, which I like, to prevent direct heat to whatever I'm smoking.
Heat your charcoals until they are nice and gray. Add to the bottom of the smoker, have the water compartment in place, and the top rack in place as well. Add the soaked wood chips to the coals, the place the mushrooms on the rack. Cover, and step away for a good hour.
The initial blast of smoke is all you really need as you do not wan the mushrooms to dehydrate. Remove, and serve. I served mine in a some pasta with brown butter and sage, and well let's just say there was no mushroom left behind. You get that earthiness you would expect in a mushroom with that great hint of smoke. It really adds nice depth to the mushroom. So next time you are smoking, try something new to place on the smoker. You'll never know how good it might just be.
So simple, yet so flavourful! Thanks for sharing this great summer recipe.
ever smoke mushroom caps stuffed with crabmeat?
ever smoke mushroom caps stuffed with crabmeat and covered with cheese?
Hi Bill, I have not tried smoking them with crab meat. I've baked them a variety of different ways, but never smoked them. Sounds pretty good though!


My brother frist brought this to my attention when he noticed it. I thought it was so werid, what could be making the smoke do that? Was it chance or was something above (or below) trying to get noticed?
In the end, we will never really know. It is up to you to decide.

SUPPORTING LOCAL INDUSTRY....ONE TRADE AT A TIME.
Posted on March 21, 2019 at 5:34 pm.
It's 2019. Modern times tend to call for modern business practices, yet every once and awhile, it is good to look to the past, for tried and tested methods of getting things done. One such method is bartering.
Bartering is an exchange of goods or services – trading, rather than letting money be the only currency that counts. We don't want anyone's cash – your money is no good here!
We are on the lookout for other small Geelong businesses, who like us, believe that we should be supporting local industry. We need to have each other's backs.
Limousine hire is a luxury that not everyone can prioritize – particularly small business people, who are putting in the hard yards, but not yet breaking even….it can take a while to find your feet. We understand.
So, if you are keen to trade services, email us @geelonghummerlimousines@live.com with your proposal.
We can't wait to see what you bring to the table.

Strategery: Softening Up GCHQ With Edward Snowden

As part of a new, long-term theme like the "VLWC" (Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy) series, I'm going to help people see long-term commie moves with a "Strategery" series. I love stealing this word, because the people in the Bush camp who adopted it as their version of "Deplorables" clearly had little understanding of the long-term strategy of the communists who manipulated them so readily.
Our "strategery" will put theirs to shame. And to think THEY opposed Trump. Ridiculous.
AND logic.
LONG-TERM thinking.
UNCERTAINTY as a way of life.
These things will slowly bring us into levels of understanding that makes the either/or, short-term-thinking, implication-as-fake-certainty FAKE NEWS absolutely useless. I repeat these ideas differently.
Life is not either/or, and getting you to think that way is a TRICK.
Life is not short-term. Getting you to see and respond to the short-term, by long-term thinkers, is a TRICK.
Life is uncertain. Getting you to NEED certainty when there is no certainty, is a TRICK.
We begin today's lesson with a Q drop from yesterday.
Q!!mG7VJxZNCI27 Apr 2019 – 2:25:06 PM
https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/jan/23/gchq-chief-robert-hannigan-quits📁
Soon To Be A HouseHold Name.
Q Post 3327
Much of the Q movement is going to concentrate on what I regard as the chump change of this drop – the odd capitalization of every word, and the splitting of "household" into HouseHold. Trust me – our buddy Q has some awesome messages in there for the SB2 types. However, that is THEIR bag, not ours.
Happy hunting, cryptogram solvers.
WE, in contrast, are going to get all Bezmenov on this one.
Several parts of the article are highly relevant:
The subtitle:
Hannigan oversaw a more open approach at GCHQ after the Snowden revelations exposed mass surveillance by the agency
From the article – the CORE of the issue:
Hannigan only took over at the UK's surveillance agency in November 2014 to oversee a more open approach after revelations by the National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden put GCHQ on the defensive in 2013.
His sudden resignation – he informed staff just hours before making this decision public – prompted speculation that it might be related to British concerns over shared intelligence with the US in the wake of Donald Trump becoming president.
The key point here is that SNOWDEN had effects on GCHQ. ONE of those effects that led to MANY OTHERS was insertion of THIS GUY HANNIGAN.
Now – if you're following along with Q, then you know Snowden was a CLOWN OP that had a strong intention to damage NSA. But THAT is not necessarily the only reason. And to think about WHY Snowden was manipulated into doing what he did, remember that commies will try to SOW ONCE and REAP MANY TIMES. See how the suppression of AND logic keeps us dumb? THEY think multiple outcomes. WE chase our tails on the idea of WHICH outcome.
We need to GET OVER the idea that SNOWDEN did what he did for ONE REASON.
We also need to GET OVER the idea that SNOWDEN was a short-term yield. AND we need to get over the idea that we know ALL of the reasons they did the Snowden operation.
Are you with me? Let's move on.
Remember – this guy CAME IN and LEFT on controversy. Controversy is USEFUL to them.
The "leaver" tweet:
We're sorry to announce that Robert Hannigan, our Director since 2014, has decided to step down as head of GCHQhttps://t.co/K5KdKnStcz pic.twitter.com/HaQpWYlqP2
— GCHQ (@GCHQ) January 23, 2017
Note that both the INSERTION and REMOVAL of this guy are a PATTERN of POKE and RESPONSE due to REVELATION and MEDIA MANIPULATION. The other side uses this all the time. This is an extremely important reason why FAKE NEWS works. Fake News helps to control both the REVELATION and the MANIPULATION.
Khashoggi was a perfect example. CIA commies and their DNC media CREATED and then "revealed" a fake American, a fake journalist, and in many ways a fake victim, who had been manipulated into his own MURDER – one that they controlled in several hidden ways – and could then use primary blame-casting of the set-up Saudis to manipulate American foreign policy.
The problem with Khashoggi was that the PUBLIC and REAL JOURNALISM were able to reveal enough hidden truth that the whole operation's SKETCHY NATURE became evident. It was clearly a MANIPULATION – and United States foreign policy does NOT deserve to change because of communist manipulations – even if they are OUR COMMUNISTS.
Back to Hannigan – particularly his INSERTION.
First of all, who is he?
Hannigan's background was not initially in intelligence. Born in Gloucester in 1965 and brought up in Yorkshire, he had been a high-flying civil servant at the Northern Ireland Office, where he was head of communications and later political director. He was involved in the peace process, credited [note media manipulation – W] with coming up with the idea for a diamond-shaped table [rolling eyes hard -W] in order to get over objections by the opposing sides about seating arrangements.
He transferred to London where he became involved in a series of intelligence jobs, including defence and liaison with the US, before going on to GCHQ, where he worked for six months as part of the handover before taking control.
Guardian article
If this looks a lot like a typical unqualified or deceptively qualified OBAMA APPOINTEE, then yeah, you're seeing it, too. This guy had no business being in charge of GCHQ. And yet he was. FUNNY, THAT.
FAKE REFORM is a very big thing with communists and OUR intelligence agencies.
So – let's look at their FAKE REFORM at GCHQ. What did the commies REALLY DO?
At the time, GCHQ, in spite of many of its secrets spilled by Snowden, remained the most secretive of the three intelligence agencies: the others being MI6 and MI5. But Hannigan expanded the press team, invited more journalists to visit GCHQ and encouraged a stream of news stories aimed at bringing the agency into the public eye. [as if any of this is going to actually solve any problems. -W]
In his first week in office, he created controversy with a column published in the Financial Times accusing US technology companies of becoming "the command and control networks of choice" for terrorists.
In March last year, he softened his criticism in a speech to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, calling for a new relationship between the intelligence agencies and the tech companies, part of a campaign to try to secure the help of the companies in providing access to supposedly encrypted messages.
I could go on forever about this. Hannigan BEHAVED in the classic ways of a CLINTON or OBAMA appointee. Once you see that "saboteur" model in operation, you never forget it.
invites in reporters and other "low-grade spies" – this is extremely reminiscent of Hazel O'Leary in Energy. The left LOVES to get a diversity-based or other unqualified leftoid in at the top, who leverages a media-driven moral panic ("OH NOES! WE NEED OPEN!") or moral manic ("OH, JOY, WE ARE ALL OPEN NOW!") to WEAKEN security
immediately uses JOURNALISM to call for tech censorship using terrorism foil
immediately blame-casts to US tech companies on terror (which problem, ironically, NSA is watching), while US tech companies are simultaneously media-cast as VICTIMS of spying by the Snowden op, in order to WEAKEN the NSA. What are the commies trying to do here? What communists always try to do. Get a government function out of government, to some place they control. What the commies wanted to do was SHIFT the burden of fighting terror (which they control) from the NSA to SJWs in tech companies. (As if that would work!) Funny that those SJWs would censor the political enemies of the left. Such a coincidence.
note that Hannigan's timeline MATCHES Obama's post-Obamacare roll-out failure-excused calls for partnership with tech, that quickly turned into tech hiring of SJWs and massive censorship
BIG POINT – SNOWDEN softened up the tech companies to censorship pitch
So – are you beginning to see why they don't want a serious inquiry of this Hannigan guy? GET HIM OUT while the getting is good. Just like the lady (NOT Lois Lerner) who was responsible for the IRS scandal. Just like Eric Holder getting out of Dodge.
Resignation or job-shifting before inquiry is STRAIGHT out of the Obama manual. They needed this Hannigan guy GONE pronto, as soon as Trump was elected.
And what, finally, was the BIGGEST point?
SNOWDEN LED TO INSERTION OF SOMEBODY AT GCHQ WHO WOULD PLAY BALL WITH OBAMA IN 2016, TO ELECT HILLARY CLINTON.
What are our big learning points here?
Snowden was a big op with MANY OUTCOMES (AND logic), had MANY BIG LATE EFFECTS (long-term thinking), and likely will have MANY MORE that we have not yet recognized (uncertainty).
Strategery. The commies may have it. But so do we.

Does Julian Assange fit into this and if so, where/how?
Reply to GA/FL
I really dont see Assange as a threat to President Trump, Julian has to save his ass.
It would be really nice to see who is pulling the strings in all of this and my senses just go bezerkers over Val Jarrett.
There are ways to get answers to Q uestions that people wont answer and I think if you just strap one of these sQuealers down and show them a bucket witha towel in it you will get instant answers.
John Brennan would be one of those sQuealers, he is not the tough guy he portrays.
Reply to Rodney Short
Where is Assange? Physically and ideologically?
I wonder if he even knows.
Harry Lime(@harry-lime)
From CliffNotes. com about the character Sqealer in George Orwell's book Animal Farm:
Every tyrant has his sycophants, and Napoleon has one in Squealer, a clever pig who (as the animals say) "could turn black into white." Throughout the novel, he serves as Napoleon's mouthpiece and Minister of Propaganda. Every time an act of Napoleon's is questioned by the other animals — regardless of how selfish or severe it may seem — Squealer is able to convince the animals that Napoleon is only acting in their best interests and that Napoleon himself has made great sacrifices for Animal Farm. For example, after Squealer is questioned about Napoleon's stealing the milk and windfallen apples, he explains that Napoleon and his fellow pigs must take the milk and apples because they "contain substances absolutely necessary to the well-being of a pig." He further explains that many pigs "actually dislike milk and apples" and tells the questioning animals, "It is for your sake that we drink that milk and eat those apples." His physical "skipping from side to side" during such explanations parallels his "skipping" words, which are never direct and always skirt the obvious truth of the matter at hand. As the novel proceeds, he excuses Napoleon's tyranny and sullies Snowball's reputation, just as Napoleon desires….
Of course, John Brennan is far worse than Orwell's Sqealer.

Assange and Wikileaks fit in, NOT IDENTICALLY, and I maintain a high degree of UNCERTAINTY and SUSPICION toward them. Wikileaks is both a TOOL and a PLAYER with a hidden agenda. During the separation of Wikileaks from Assange, there has been a divergence of interests.
Wikileaks has tweeted negatively on Q – ASK WHY.
In many ways, Wikileaks and Assange have MISLED US. I do not trust them.

ASSange (Wikileaks) may be one of Brennan's TOOLS?
Reply to rayzorbak
Wikileaks exposed Hillary, Podesta, etc. and Hillary wanted to kill Assange with a drone, so it doesn't seem like he was working for Brennan.
Assange said he had never published anything false and no one ever proved he did.
"Hillary wanted to kill Assange with a drone"…… is he dead?
"exposed Hillary, Podesta, etc."….. any of them in JAIL?
C_A works in these ways.

Assange started as a hacker, how much of a stretch from there is blackmail?
Deplorable Patriot (@guest_126133)
Cute Chipmunk
"Wikileaks is both a TOOL and a PLAYER with a hidden agenda."
Which begs the question who is REALLY behind that operation, and who wants Assange silenced. And has that card been face down on the table the whole time.
If that's the case, Assange is a high profile loose end.
Reply to Deplorable Patriot
Agreed. If only on the Seth Rich thing, there are STRONG reasons for him to be eliminated to force new or old theories into acceptance.
I used to accept Wikileaks and Assange both at face value. But the combinations of these things started adding support for opposing theories: (1) many allegations of the CLOWNS messing strongly with whistleblowers via Wikileaks, (2) apparent Wikileaks hidden agenda with misdirecting Corsi and Jones, (3) Assange seeming to have strong political agenda RE Catalonia, (4) Wikileaks leaking political motive on their positioning on Q, (5) Seth Rich murder misdirection (revenge instead of DNC/HRC lawsuit witness), with witness obstruction fitting all facts tighter than the highly shilled "revenge" theory, and (6) many other little gnawing discrepancies. They no longer get a pass as purely innocent. I tolerated their self-marketing for a long time as a necessity, but eventually they stopped passing the sniff test, "pure as the driven snow". Something not right.

That summer, GCHQ's then head, Robert Hannigan, flew to the US to personally brief CIA chief John Brennan. The matter was deemed so important that it was handled at "director level", face-to-face between the two agency chiefs.
The meeting between Hannigan and Brennan appears somewhat…unusual.
The US and the UK are two of the so-called Five Eyes — along with Canada, Australia and New Zealand — that share a broad range of intelligence through a formalized alliance.
The GCHQ is responsible for Britain's Signals Intelligence.
The NSA is responsible for the United States' Signals Intelligence.
Hannigan's U.S. counterpart was not CIA Director Brennan.
Hannigan's U.S. counterpart was NSA Director Mike Rogers.

That's a" Holy Smokes Batman"! statement indeed!!😨😳😬😡
The best resolution, IMO, from what we know now, is that the entirety of FIVE EYES, just like the EU, is filled with GLOBALIST RINGERS who are MORE loyal to a WORLD SHADOW GOVERNMENT than they are to their own countries. Hannigan, Brennan, and Obama are all clearly committed to the secret plots of that shadowy group.
Note that I'm not unalterably opposed to the IDEAS of internationalism or even globalism, but accomplishing these things by deception and treason rather than by honest negotiation is a complete non-starter.
We thought that Obama was playing around with his "unofficial" commitments to globalist treaties and whatnot – now we see that by CHEATING to keep the globalist progs in power, he had no intention of letting those commitments be moot.
One can see Henry Kissinger's hands in this plot also…
Besides Brennan's gig as political analyst on TV, he has worked for Kissinger & Associates since leaving the Obama Administration when it ended.
I can't find anything in wiki on Hannigan's activities BEFORE becoming a Civil Servant… this link to his announcement as head of GCHQ gives some info on experience as CS
https://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/04/15/brit_spymasters_gchq_get_shiny_new_spook_boss/
Hannigan after resigning January 2017:
In February 2017, Hannigan was appointed to the UK Government's new Defence Innovation Advisory Panel, along with McLaren Chairman Ron Dennis and astronaut Tim Peake.[61] He has written about the shift in technological innovation from government to private sector and West to East, expressing some concern about the tone of the Brexit debate and its impact on the UK academic tech sector.[62]
This Summary states "Robert Hannigan left his position as Director at GCHQ in April 2017. "
That's contrary to what reports in the States reveal. Apparently the Brits found no problem with his opening an Independent Consultancy. "The Committee considered the potential risk of public perception that Mr Hannigan could unfairly advantage his clients, by virtue of the information he holds or the contacts he has in Government. It concluded this is low for the following reasons:" see link below

Some reports say that Hannigan met with Brennan and Hakluyt associates…. Greg Rubini, see link…
He offers no sources for info, except the New Yorker iirc…
We do know that the two men met… and usually each would be accompanied by a couple of others. Would not be surprised if Hakluyt associates were with Brennan, considering his Kissinger ties.
Just some more to chew on… Jeff at marketworks is best source on all related to Hannigan, imho.
I can not figure out why NEW ZEALAND (The worldwide powerhouse that it is /s) is even part of "Five eyes"
So Australia gets TWO VOTES!!! 😉 😀
New Zealand? Pretty easy. Offspring of mother England. The Five Eyes are pretty much the English speaking world. Anglo-sphere if you will. If that's the designated bug out zone, they need to be in the loop.
Covadonga(@covadonga)
Five Eyes is all the English-speaking nations that were allies in WWII, and were of majority European descent.
(2nd requirement eliminates South Africa, Rhodesia, New Britain, and a few other places that were WWII allies, and potentially could have been strong allies in the Cold War, but had demographics that were potentially problematic for a number of reasons.)
Dr. Quigley THREAD …
"Robert Hannigan has always been a name in my house."
"Brennan works for Kissinger Associates which contracts with Hakluyt."
John O. Brennan, a Senior Advisor at Kissinger Associates, served as Director of CIA (2013-2017) and Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism (2009-2013).
Kissinger Associates, Inc. is a New York City-based international geopolitical consulting firm, founded and run by Henry Kissinger in 1982. The firm assists its clients in identifying strategic partners and investment opportunities and advising them on government relations. Known for its secrecy, its specific activities are not public knowledge. Wikipedia
Hakluyt & Company is a British strategic intelligence and advisory firm, and since 2011 has been a trading name of the renamed company Holdingham Group Limited. Pelorus Research is another trading activity of Holdingham Group, started in 2011, providing research to investment managers. The company is headquartered in London and has subsidiary offices in New York, Tokyo, Singapore and Sydney.
* HAKLUYT
Small, but with a high-profile that few can match, Hakluyt was established by two former MI6 members, Christopher James and Mike Reynolds. It has aimed straight for the top of the market, offering hard-won intelligence about the most complex corners of the world.
Operating at the intersection of business and government, Hakluyt's access to the top levels of corporate management stems from its "foundation" – an advisory board composed of eminent figures from British business, such as Sir William Purves, the former chairman of HSBC.
With a strong base of clients in the FTSE-100, Hakluyt has formed a strategic relationship with Kissinger Associates, the US consultancy led by Henry Kissinger, the former US secretary of state.

Nixon was an idiot to trust that guy.
However, I believe ol' Henry has been runnin' things for the uniparty ever since.
I doubt Nixon was given a choice. Not the way these people operate.
I can remember seeing a story once that claimed Kissinger got a visit from some high ups in the cabal. One was David Rockefeller, I think. This may have been after whichever Rockefeller was VP was out of office. Anyway, they told Kissinger he needed help. Apparently his grip on State wasn't tight enough.
I remember reading, in Antony Sutton, iirc, an incident when Rockefeller wanted to meet with Pres. Carter.
So Jimmuh boarded AF1, and flew to NYC to have lunch with him.

It will be bantered about for generations to come after Obama and his henchman are exposed.
And what makes the watergate comparison so delicious, is that the people with the dream of Woodward's glory are going to get caught in the trap.
Yup. And if there is "history justice" (to go along with all the other leftist "noun-noun" justices), then Woodward and Bernstein will be exposed as the leftist entrapment shills they really were.
Note that Corn and Isikoff wanted to "be them" – too bad that didn't work out.

The Punisher skull: Unofficial logo of the white American death cult
"It is difficult to quantify with precision, but a large percentage of Americans, mostly white men, do not have the interpretive skill to comprehend a comic book, and as a consequence, are knowingly or unknowingly celebrating the symbol of a character who, if actually existed, would be a serial killer living as a fugitive from the law."

I wish POTUS would not attend UK State visit. I am sure he loves the honor of the Queen but I do not trust the whole thing. The last time going to the UK one of his secret service guys died and we do not really know why just the official explanation.
The last time he was treaded so shabbily by younger royals snubbing him and so did some of the politicians. Then the insulting balloon . Insulting POTUS they insult us the American people. That UK danced to the Obama tune to coup POTUS cannot be excused.
Reply to singingsoul
Fully agree.
I was even nervous when our VSG President went to France for Bastille day.
UK is in trouble and the Queen knows it….even if their politicians, Charles and the young empty-headed royals haven't figured it out or won't admit it.
Tonawanda(@tonawanda)
The paraglider incident IMO was also far more significant than the official explanation.
It really looks like they tried to take Trump down over in the UK during his visit.
TheseTruths(@thesetruths)
I have thought from the moment the state visit was announced that they have some 'splainin' to do to Pres. Trump while he's there. I don't think it's just a state visit, and I expect there will be some very serious talks about spygate.
Reply to TheseTruths
One would hope so. Trump holds the good cards….and economic weapons.
Michelle Obama acted like Melania was wrong to bring a gift and tried to make it into an awkward faux pas.
But…Michelle did the same thing in 2008!
Michelle Obama frequently had a 'tude and a scowl.

DJT, with the help of Rogers and Flynn, designed and executed the Orb Plan for when he took office. Once he was in office, he went on his Trump Tour with (IIRC) the first stop in Saudi Arabia where he laid his hand along with the other hands on The Orb.
Thus was born the Orb Network – taking over all the intel gathering under the command & control of the military. IOW, the military in each member country in the Orb Network is in command of global intel. Five Eyes is now a window mannequin – a public display with no real access to power over intel. Corroboration of this is NSA's recent decision to halt the vacuuming of data networks (all phone calls, internet traffic, etc) for storage AND last week's new executive order placing all background security screening inside the military/Pentagon.
Remind me, who was DIA boss? Oh yeah, that criminal Flynn.
Remind me, who was running NSA when he snitched Spygate to DJT? Oh yeah, that Rogers guy who got to retire and not go to work in the WH. But hey, there's always a second term for DJT, right?

Gonna be hard to judge public opinion, though President Trump is a master at this. The general public are sick of it. It's been hyped for so long and turned into a nothing burger. People are interested in the here and now and their own lives
Reply to ozzytrumpster
The public is sick of endless investigations and empty promises (the media and Dems promising to oust Pres. Trump — which always makes me laugh at their defeat).
I think if the real scandals that we know about (and some we don't) are revealed, many people will be flabbergasted that a) it happened at all, b) they were lied to for years, c) people they trusted will have been shown to be treasonous criminals, and d) allies of the U.S. were in on the plot. That level of scandal should garner public interest.
Hopefully. People hate being conned

Thanks for this, Wolf…you've connected some dots here.
👍👍👏 Nice work!
I didn't even notice that Q had capitalized the words in that statement:
Good catch!
I have no idea what that means…but it has to mean something, or Q wouldn't have done it.
I'm just thrilled to see Hannigan's departure finally getting some scrutiny!
Like you, many of us have pondered over that little detail.
Heheh.
And I love the picture of FL Melania handing their Gift to Big Mike.
The symbolism of giving them an empty Frame was lost on so many.
I'm thinking that it was probably our brilliant First Lady who came up with that idea for that gift.
She is such a master at communicating with visual messages…it just seems like something she would do!

Hi all! Love and congrats to all in this season.
For you, spring and the good tidings it brings. Declass and all sorts of goodies to look forward to very soon.
For me, a welcome reprieve from a hot, rainy, cloudy, steamy summer in the tropics of Oz..we have an election next month and I have no idea as too distracted by the fascinating drama unfolding in your neck of the woods. Loved the rally. PDJT is amazing to watch and I wish there was one other person in my area that I could share this with!
I don't understand how 40 years of patriotic talk from DJT is forgotten and buried while the coup involving the media and intelligence community of BHO over the last 3 years seems to be trying to rewrite history. The truth is in the videos on YT if you want to search..unfortunately algorithms make it difficult to get there. ?
We are now seeing the crazy being exposed (loved the interview where AS gets a bit ruffled, stalking PT? obsessed much?), this is it, I can feel it about to hit mainstream WW…so much is counting on the plan, timing is everything leading up to the election and I thank Q and you for keeping the troops/us pumped. This is hard yakka (Oz term)
BTW, Am in the middle of a install of new power system…0.75kW to 10.2kW after 12 years (live off grid)…still here watching and reading when I can when sun or generator provides while doing everything else necessary to do when power is on!
thank you QTreepers/WM for giving me a quick go to. It's a place of love and laughs and goodwill and truth…thanks.

Current image re-sampling detectors can reliably detect re-sampling in JPEG images only up to a Quality Factor (QF) of 95 or higher. At lower QFs, periodic JPEG blocking artifacts interfere with periodic patterns of re-sampling. We add a controlled amount of noise to the image before the re-sampling detection step. Adding noise suppresses the JPEG artifacts while the periodic patterns due to re-sampling are partially retained. JPEG images of QF range 75-90 are considered. Gaussian/Uniform noise in the range of 28-24 dB is added to the image and the images thus formed are passed to the re-sampling detector. The detector outputs are averaged to get a final output from which re-sampling can be detected even at lower QFs. We consider two re-sampling detectors - one proposed by Poposcu and Farid 1, which works well on uncompressed and mildly compressed JPEG images and the other by Gallagher 2, which is robust on JPEG images but can detect only scaled images. For multiple re-sampling operations (rotation, scaling, etc) we show that the order of re-sampling matters. If the final operation is up-scaling, it can still be detected even at very low QFs.


Lawn Maintenance- We have found that a bi-weekly lawn service provides the best management for lawns up to 1500' above sea level and every 3 to 4 weeks for higher elevations. Keeping the lawn mowed at the proper height encourages a healthier and more dense turf and will help in the control of weeds. Grass can be stressed and nutrients wasted on repairing when too much of the grass blade is cut due to long periods between mowing. Excess clippings also introduce the possibility of disease and insect problems.
Basic Maintenance - Lawn will be mowed, trimmed with a weed whacker, and all hard surfaces blown off. Weedkiller applications if desired. Grass clippings are usually mulched into tiny pieces and reintroduced back into the lawn as a natural fertilizer. Grass clippings can be bagged for a more manicured looking lawn if desired, please let us know and we will be glad to get you an additional quote.
Full-Service Maintenance- Includes Basic Maintenance Plus: Plants and Brush will be trimmed and maintained on a regular basis. Green waste will be removed from the property and brought to Hilo green waste facility.
