The Clásico centroamericano (Central American classic) is a rivalry between the Costa Rica national football team and the Honduras national football team. The rivalry has also presented at club level for having the most successful clubs in Central America in terms of the CONCACAF Champions League.

Costa Rica in Honduras is considered one of the most important rivals, since Costa Rica's paternity has been a clear over Honduras since the beginning of this rivalry, along with the Mexico national football team and the El Salvador national football team. Moreover, Honduras is considered in Costa Rica also as one of the most important rivals, along with the Mexico national football team and the United States men's national team. This rivalry is also accentuated by the selections that are higher amounts of account in the Copa Centroamericana trophies, most World Cup appearances and otherwise being the only teams to have achieved Aztecazo in World Cup qualifying.

These two sides are considered as the best in Central America to compete globally. The Costa Rica national team boasts the best in the area by being the only Central American national team to progress to the second round of a FIFA World Cup. This achievement has been accomplished twice, the first being at the 1990 FIFA World Cup in Italy and the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. The team has won 8 Copas Centroamericana, making Costa Rica the most successful team in the competition. Costa Rica have participated in six World Cups; 1990, 2002, 2006, 2014, 2018 and in 2022. Meanwhile the Honduras national team has never made it out of the group stage in the three World Cups the team has taken part in, España 1982, South Africa 2010, and Brazil 2014. The Honduras national team has won 4 Copas Centroamericana and one CONCACAF Gold Cup in 1981. Outside of North America the team has participated in the 2001 Copa América, the only Copa América Honduras has ever been invited to. The team won third place after knocking off Uruguay in the third place match. That year Honduras reached its highest ranking on the FIFA World Rankings at rank 20. On the other hand, while Costa Rica has managed to remain being a competitive side with a decent performance, Honduras has been marked with numerous heavy defeats in every major games, either friendlies or competitions, often by five goals up.

The rivalry can be considered very even, since the number of wins in direct clashes selections levels from the first game in 1930, has always remained relatively even (with ups and downs for both teams at different times, but always showing enough equity). The history of fighting, a total of 70 games, has 23 wins to the Costa Rica national football team, 22 wins for the Honduras national football team and 25 draws, almost bringing equity in this rivalry is demonstrated.

Origin of rivalry

In recent years, these two nations have awakened a wide rivalry each time he approaches a commitment of this caliber. However, a review of the history reminds us that 'pique' comes from long ago, by elements not necessarily linked to the sport that moves masses.

The memory leads to that September 15, 1842 when he was shot in the Central Park of San Jose, Costa Rica, the great hero of the Federal Republic of Central America, Honduran Francisco Morazan, a leader who dominated the political and military scene Central and always wanted to turn the area into one nation. Even Morazán was the last president of this group. And in 1838, when Costa Rica had to face President Braulio Carrillo Colina, the Ticos broken relationship with the Central American Federation, which generates the beginning of a rivalry between the governments of Morazan and Carrillo.

This makes Morazan landing in Caldera (Costa Rica) in April 1842 with the enemies of Carrillo and give a coup. Honduras, who was head of state in Costa Rica in that year during the months of April and September, and together with its allies, intended to use the Costa Rican people as "cannon fodder" to reconstitute the Federation, but by force and keep his dream, as well recalled by the historian Alejandro Ugalde. It was then that Costa Ricans decide to "go down" to Morazan power and shoot him.

Despite that, Morazan fondly remembers being the initiator of the project "The Great Patriotic Central". But according to Ugalde, are the elements that unite Honduras and Costa Rica, according to the review given by history. Just remember in 2009 when the military carried to Costa Rica Honduras ousted President Manuel Zelaya.

Darby & Greg Buehler's Lakeside Legacy
Lakeside Stories
Staff Blogger: Courtney Davis, Mobile Software Application Intern
Darby and Greg Buehler recently became Lakeside homeowners in 2017, but they have a longtime connection to the Chautauqua community.
(L-R) Shirley Buehler (mother), Keith Winget (uncle) and Marty Winget (aunt).
Greg has been visiting since he was a child and later introduced Darby when they got married.
"My mother, Shirley, has been coming to Lakeside since she was a teenager in youth group," says Greg. "After that, my uncle, Keith Winget, purchased a cottage in 1991. My parents, Don and Shirley Buehler, bought a place a few years later. At that time, Darby and I were married, and our children were young, so they've grown up coming to Lakeside."
The family roots in Lakeside continue. "Keith's son, Doug, and his wife, Lisa, bought a Lakeside house about 11 years ago. I would say the Winget family is probably who introduced everyone to Lakeside," jokes Darby.
Greg adds, "Yes, my mom and Uncle Keith are the ones who have kept this connection alive."
The Buehlers most cherished memory this summer has been introducing their first grandchild to Lakeside. "It was so exciting to have her here and to see our Lakeside legacy continue," says Darby.
Aware of their unique last name, the Buehlers named their cottage "Buehler's Day Off," a nod to the popular 1986 film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." They took it a step further by naming their dog Fairess.
The Buehlers enjoy many things about Lakeside, especially walks along Ohio's Most Beautiful Mile with their dog, riding bikes, kayaking, eating at Bluebird Café (their favorite restaurant), sitting on their front porch and "just taking it all in."
Darby and Greg also love that you'll always find someone you know in Lakeside, no matter what.
"You don't realize how many generations have been here; that's really an outstanding testament to Lakeside," says Darby. "We've found connections we never knew we had."
"When I went to Bowling Green, I was in a fraternity," says Greg. "Back then, we had a house mom that lived in the house with us guys. Her name was Jerradale Douglas. We called her Mom Douglas. She had a place here at Lakeside, and we would bring our kids to see her."
While searching for a Lakeside cottage, the Buehlers saw a plaque on a bench by the lake that was dedicated to Jerradale Douglas.
"I looked at that plaque, and then I looked at Darby, and said 'We found our cottage, we're done,'" says Greg.
"There's always been a connection to Lakeside, in my life and in our life together," adds Greg. "So, maybe all roads do lead to Lakeside."

Caring volunteers are an important part of the hospice team. After thorough training, volunteers work with patients and families. They may sit with the patient to give the family a needed break, offer the caregiver emotional support or run errands. They may serve in many ways, but they may best be described as "good friends and neighbors".
Other volunteers help in the hospice office. Professionals like pharmacists, registered nurses and licensed practical nurses, beauticians, or educators can offer their expertise to patients with special needs.
Regular training sessions are offered. Call the Hospice office for more information on participating in this program by calling 606-432-2112 or 606-789-3841.
"Is Hospice Volunteering for Me?
Hospice volunteers need to know that hospice work takes its toll. You become friends with people who are going to die, and with the people who love them. You must be able to sit quietly, take a back seat to the events taking place around you, be a calming presence when that is called for. You need to be a guest, an observer, a facilitator.
Does Appalachian Hospice Care Provide Hospice Volunteer Training?
Every AHC volunteer receives free and comprehensive training before being assigned a volunteer job. They learn hospice philosophy, caring for the terminally ill, grief & loss education, health & safety precautions and more. They talk about what kinds of volunteering they are interested in and what talents their volunteer manager sees in them.

Q: Multiple moderators in Outlook meeting We have the problem that we want to make meeting requests that multiple people can edit and get acceptance or cancellation answers.
Is that possible somehow?
Right now only one person can edit the request and see who accepted.

A: If you have a predefined group of people (let's say project team or (small) HR), you can create shared mailbox to Exchange and use that to send calendar invites. That way invite replies goes to same place, and everyone with access to mailbox can edit calendar entries too.

Feature: Diaries of a retired nurse – NewsDay January 28, 2023


The ACM Foundation celebrates the new poster of the Mostra de València / Cinema of the Mediterrani to be held from 18 to 28 October 2018.
As is well known, the Mediterranean Citizen' Assembly Foundation (FACM) has been a significant part of the citizen movement that, since 2011, has denounced the closing of a cultural event by the València City Council. This cultural meeting was a heritage of the city, of such profound significance.
The festival, integrated by the Mostra de Cinema, Trobada de Música and Encontre d'Escriptors expressed the will to turn Valencia into a free meeting point of Mediterranean cultures. That will, embodied in the eighties of the last century by the municipal corporation that was recently recovered democracy, was gradually faded and permanently buried in 2011.
It was the push and decision of the citizenship and broad sectors of the cultural forces that, without resigning themselves, were grouped in the Citizen Association under the name of Mostra Viva del Mediterrani, that since 2013 and up to the present, resuscitated that initiative of deep civic and cultural significance.
Mostra Viva del Mediterrani for five years (2013-2018) has made possible the continued presence of the various cultural expressions of the Mediterranean peoples in Valencia. And this year, the month of October will become the month of the cultures of the Mediterranean people, through audiovisual, musical, literary, scenic and plastic arts, guaranteed by the Mostra de Cinema and the various activities of the Mostra Viva del Mediterrani.
Sharing the two reference posters, we reiterating the hope and support of the ACM Foundation that València becomes a permanent place for the expression in freedom of the fraternity cultures of the Mediterranean people.

- Love the name, hate the logo. The new logo looks amateurish in execution when compared to the original logo. While I like the idea of getting away from the "Raging" Rhinos and tweaking the look, I was hoping for more of a classic look that would have been anchored by a profile silhouette of a rhino. Perhaps they could have simply used the Rhinos team MVP trophy for the base of the logo?
And don't get me started on the plain font for the name or the look on Rex's face. My guess is that they wanted Rex to look mean. But to me, I'm getting more of a perplexed "Where did my soccer ball go?" vibe.
- Kicking Delaware North to the curb can't happen soon enough.
But, I hope fans are willing to allow for a learning curve once that happens. I don't see local companies getting things to the Frontier Field level without any growing pains.
- I really hope that the roster page on the website gets updated to accurately reflect who is under contract and expected back and who isn't. I'm hearing that there are only 15 or 16 players under contract today, yet there are 19 players listed on the website. I know we can cross Bertz off the list. But, having something official would be nice.
- I can't wait to find out what's up with the coaching situation.
- Will shuttles from Frontier Field to PAETEC Park make a huge difference? Somehow, I doubt it. It's always much, much harder to win fans back than to try and make sure you don't lose them in the first place. They need to do some really special things on the field to get people back and not just ship them in from Frontier.
- Mark Pallo has posted the importable 2008 Rhinos schedule at The RhinoPit.com.
- US Soccer.com, Yanks Abroad, Big Apple Soccer.com, Steven Goff, and MLSNet.com are all over the 3-0 stomping that the US laid on Canada last night to qualify for the 2008 Olympics in China. Thankfully the US saved up the offense for the game that meant the most!
- Steve Pastorino takes a look at how the Earthquakes are building their expansion team from the backline out. While it may make it hard to sell attacking soccer by going this route, I do think this is the quickest path to being competitive.
- All right Rhinos fans, start lobbying Beckham RIGHT NOW!

EU – Baltic States, Financial Services, Latvia, Railways, Transport
Commissioner: Rail Baltica will be allocated 85% of financing if the project meets conditions
BC, Riga, 30.04.2015. Print version
During the 3rd ASEM transport ministers' meeting in Riga today, European Transportation Commissioner Violeta Bulc said that the Rail Baltica high-speed rail project will be allocated 85% of the project's financing if it meets the conditions set-out by the European Commission, reports LETA.
Photo: eu2015.lv
She explained that the Rail Baltica is one of nine priority European transportation corridors, as the Baltics have yet to be connected to the European transportation network. She added that all of the projects have been submitted for review, and that an assessment from the EC could be expected sometime in July.
Bulc said that there are three-times more projects submitted than what the EC plans to support, thus there will be a serious selection process. However, taking into account all the circumstances, the commissioner said that she is confident that the Rail Baltica project will be granted co-financing from the EC if it meets the project's conditions.
As reported, the Rail Baltica project deals with construction of a new 1,435 millimeter standard-gauge railroad in the Baltic countries. The implementation of project could cost EUR 1.27 billion to Latvia and EUR 3.68 billion to the Baltic States altogether.
The European Commission could co-fund 85% of the project's costs. The request for funding was submitted to the European Commission this past February, so construction of the railroad could begin in 2016. Further funding for the project is to be provided as part of the next financial period that will begin in 2020.


This morning we'll take to the skies, Costa Rica bound. Who's ready for some Pura Vida vibes?Do you know the way to San Jose? Well yeah, we do, cos' here we are! Today we'll head out to explore daily Costa Rican life at the Plaza & sample some local delicacies at the Mercado Central (Central Market).
We leave the city's charms behind and make for Arenal, one of the most incredible volcanoes in Costa Rica.Welcome to Arenal. This volcano is near perfectly formed and famed for its hot springs and healing properties so you know what that means - spa times and treatments galore. Later, grab some munch in town with the crew, or continue to kick it in the hotel pool.
Rapelling through a rainforest canyon and waterfalls this morning will be the perfect wake up call. This optional activity is one you won't forget, and if you have a bit of a fear of heights, this is the best way to conquer them. Not keen? No problem. Head back to the pool, grab a delicious coffee, keep those eyes peeled for sloths or practice your Spanish on a friendly local. This afternoon you can spend your free time exploring or to really go local by experiencing the traditional "Tico" mentality at a country estate, La Fortuna. Here, you'll meet with school students and local farmers to learn about their way of life, before enjoying a delicious home-cooked dinner washed down with coffee (and a shot or two of coffee liquor) and some singing and dancing.
See you later volcano lands, more of Costa Rica is calling and hell yeah we're listening. Playa Tamarindo has the reputation of being Costa Rica's numero uno surf and party destination, and for good reason. This northern beach town boats tasty waves and golden sands dotted with lounge bars and fabulous restaurants. We're staying right by the beach, and loving every second of it.
A bohemian atmosphere permeates every inch of this paradise. Pass the day in the water, snorkelling or scuba diving amongst rainbow fish, or getting amongst the surf. There's an optional catamaran cruise this afternoon, because really who doesn't love getting out there on the water. Whether you opt for this or not, make sure you catch the sunset. Divine. Dinner with the group will top off a perfect day.
Shake out your beach towel and pack away those swimmers (for now). Today we're making for the mountains!With clean air filling your lungs our next spot awaits, and the misty forests of Monte Verde are sure to take your breath away. This leafy wildlife hotspot is home to coffee plantations, countless monkey species and friendly locals who work hard to preserve the balance between nature and tourism. This afternoon, be blown away (by natural beauty, not wind) as we go trekking in the Santa Elena Cloud Forest Reserve. We will hike our way through the cloudforest with our guide pointing out birds and wildlife, delivering an in-depth run through of the nature found here. Nature knowledge at an all time high, we'll be rewarded with views of the Caribbean and the Pacific sides of Costa Rica. You can even feel the air change up here, due to it being on a continental divide...no we're not joking.
This morning we'll leave Monte Verde in the clouds and meander our way back to the coast.On route, we'll stop off at the gorgeous surf resort of Jacó for some lunch. A cute little fishing town and a great spot to grab a bite and people watch, this is just what we'll need to cure our sadness at leaving our rainforest paradise behind. In the spirit of seeing more, we'll stop again at Quepos, maybe grabbing a coffee or some plantain crisps for a tasty snack en route.Oceanside Manuel Antonio is a dizzying mix of ancient rainforest, pristine beaches and coral reefs. We'll arrive at the hotel for some relaxing by the pool (or at the bar) whilst contemplating Costa Rican life, soaking up these last few days in paradise.
Hike along the coast up through the mountains with an expert this morning, spotting macaws, toucans and sloths along the way. Don't forget your camera so you can snap all Manuel Antonio National Park's exotic plants and animals and get rewarded with a swim at the end. An optional catamaran cruise is on the cards in the afternoon, where we'll swim and snorkel with dolphins, whales and sea turtles - the salty water hiding our tears at the realisation it's our last night together. We'll end the day with an included dinner, and no doubt a few drinks to toast the trip, and oh what a trip it has been. Manuel Antonio serves up a dizzying mix of ancient rainforest, pristine beaches and dazzling coral reefs. Get your cameras ready and be on the hunt for wildlife as we walk through this mindboggling hub of biodiversity.
Milk your final morning in Manuel Antonio for all it's worth, squeezing in a kayak or a snorkel before we head back to where it all began: San José.The trip ends on arrival as we pull back into the gritty city. Costa Rica, you've been a real treat!


← What the heck! 80 to 120k+ severence if your fired (not re-elected) or resign while able to work?
It's been over 7 months since my step dad Dave lost his battle with cancer and I still think of him often. He continues to help me when I need it by forcing me to try something different when in the past I would just call him when I was stumped.
I would call him partly because he always liked to help and partly because he often had the answer that even the internet didn't have. I hope I have the knowledge and experience he had when I am 69.
I didn't appreciate my parents enough till I was about 30 and wish I hadn't waited so long to learn more from them. I try and explain this to my teenagers but I fear it is in one ear and out the other to make room for things they feel are more important. I guess they too may have to learn the hard way as sometimes this is the only way it sinks in. I guess this is part of life's journey and we can only lead by example till they are ready to follow and hopefully learn from our mistakes and their own.

SARS-CoV-2 Naturally Acquired Immunity vs. Vaccine-induced Immunity, Reinfections versus Breakthrough Infections: a Retrospective Cohort Study
On May 2, 2022 Apr 27, 2022 By aledopressIn Infectivology
Background: Waning of protection against infection with SARS-CoV-2 conferred by 2 doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine begins shortly after inoculation and becomes substantial within four months. With that, the impact of prior infection on incident SARS-CoV-2 reinfection is unclear. Therefore, we examined the long-term protection of naturally acquired immunity (protection conferred by previous infection) compared to vaccine-induced immunity.
Methods: A retrospective observational study of 124,500 persons, compared two groups: (1) SARS-CoV-2-naïve individuals who received a two-dose regimen of the BioNTech/Pfizer mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine, and (2) previously infected individuals who have not been vaccinated. Two multivariate logistic regression models were applied, evaluating four SARS-CoV-2-related outcomes – infection, symptomatic disease (COVID-19), hospitalization and death – between June 1 to August 14, 2021, when the Delta variant was dominant in Israel.
Results: SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees had a 13.06-fold (95% CI, 8.08-21.11) increased risk for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant compared to unvaccinated-previously-infected individuals, when the first event (infection or vaccination) occurred during January and February of 2021. The increased risk was significant for symptomatic disease as well. When allowing the infection to occur at any time between March 2020 to February 2021, evidence of waning naturally acquired immunity was demonstrated, though SARS-CoV-2 naïve vaccinees still had a 5.96-fold (95% CI, 4.85-7.33) increased risk for breakthrough infection and a 7.13-fold (95% CI, 5.51-9.21) increased risk for symptomatic disease.
Conclusions: Naturally acquired immunity confers stronger protection against infection and symptomatic disease caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity

Andy Wells for Lieutenant Governor
Senator Andy Wells to Run for Lieutenant Governor
Andy Wells, Thursday, September 12, 2019 at 11:47 am
Statement by Senator Andy Wells:
"Earlier this year, in a single month, 130,000 illegal immigrants poured across our border. But, here in North Carolina, Democratic sheriffs in our biggest counties refused to cooperate with federal law enforcement to deport illegals who were arrested for crimes. It's crazy.
"Republicans in the General Assembly passed a bill to stop Sanctuary Sheriffs. But Governor Cooper vetoed the bill.
"Governor Cooper also vetoed the budget Republicans passed – because he wanted to spend more. A lot more.
"But, this time, there is good news: With no budget the State continues to spend the same amount it did last year. Spending can't go up. So Governor Cooper can't increase spending.
"I am running for Lt. Governor to stand up for conservative principles – for less government, less spending and for stopping Sanctuary Sheriffs – just as I have in the Senate."
Andy Wells, Monday, July 29, 2019 at 16:49 pm
It wasn't exactly what the Governor had in mind, but when he vetoed the state budget (because it didn't spend enough) he actually cut spending. How's that?
The Republican budget the General Assembly passed raised spending 3.4% – or $800 million.
Governor Cooper didn't think that was enough spending – he wanted more government. So, he vetoed the Republican Budget.
What happened next? So far, the House hasn't been able to override the Governor's veto, and Republicans won't pass the Governor's budget. So, there is no budget.
What does that mean? When there's no budget by law the state continues to spend the same amount it did last year – which means state spending is now lower than the budget Republicans passed and a lot lower than the Governor's budget.
And if, like me, you think big government isn't the answer to every problem that's not an alarming outcome.
Governor Cooper's veto had unintended consequences. He wanted more spending but instead he's given us less spending – saving taxpayers $2.5 billion. Here's my suggestion: The Legislature should bang down the gavel, adjourn, and go home and leave it at that – which would save taxpayers $2.5 billion.
Over Regulated
Andy Wells, Monday, March 28, 2016 at 9:00 am
There is plenty of talk going around these days about political polarization, but occasionally the liberals and conservatives do come together and agree.
It was only a small NC legislative subcommittee hearing, but there they were, representatives from the conservative John Locke Foundation and the liberal N.C. Justice Center, agreeing there was too much regulation.
In this case, the regulations they were agreeing on involved 55 state commissions and state agencies that grant licenses to some 700,000 NC workers – such as doctors, attorneys or pastoral counselors.
Now, practically speaking, giving a Commission the power to determine who can be, say, an undertaker, gives that Commission a lot of control over the free market. They can literally determine how many funeral homes there are in a county.
NC, and other states, have long required licenses for professions like doctors and attorneys. And no one is arguing doctors shouldn't be licensed.
But around 1973, the number of licensed occupations in NC started increasing like mushrooms after a summer rain.
Here's where the two ends of the political spectrum agreed:
Licensing creates a barrier to entry for workers in general, and particularly the poor, as they try to climb the economic ladder.
Licensing raises the costs of services, which takes money out of everyone's pockets, but hits the poor hardest.
And, as a group, licensed professions experience slower growth rates than their unlicensed peers.
In other words, unnecessary licensing hurts workers, consumers and our economy.
Granted there are some obvious winners. If you already hold a license to be an undertaker, you find yourself in a protected environment that limits bothersome competition. That's why people with licensees are quick to argue that uneducated consumers need the protection licensing offers. Without that extra bureaucratic protection, they say, people will be exposed to unnecessary risk from bad actors.
That may have been true 50 years ago. But in the age of smart phones and Yelp, there may be a better way to protect consumers than more bureaucracy.

It's an old story that repeats itself throughout history – a flamboyant leader exhorts a suffering people to join his crusade to overthrow a ruthless dictator and win their freedom. But then, as soon as the revolution is over, it turns out the new leader is not what he seemed. He wanted power for himself, not freedom for the people.
For years conservatives, standing for two fundamental principles, have battled tax incentives that favor one business over others. We have argued those incentives are examples of government interfering with the free market and 'picking winners and losers.'
Along the way, additional political leaders (and their allied political groups) joined in, using almost precisely the same arguments while specifically criticizing the state incentives for solar energy.
For a while, it sounded like we were all allies in the conservative cause.
But then, everything changed. After the solar incentives were eliminated, the second group dropped the cloak of standing up for free markets and, contrary to conservative principles, set out to use government to tilt the market to suit its purposes.
How? By proposing to pass a law that said no farmer could rent his land to a solar farm without the government's permission. In other words, they want to use government to accomplish their goal of stopping solar energy.
That is not my idea of freedom. Or of protecting the free market. The government has no business getting into the business of telling a farmer how he can or cannot use his land.

Receiving the League's Community Champion Award for 2014
Andy Wells, Wednesday, October 22, 2014 at 16:58 pm
Senator McLaurin, Representative Wells and Legislative Assistant Mary Marchman Receive League Awards
Senator Gene McLaurin of Rockingham and Representative Andy Wells of Hickory were recognized earlier this week as recipients of the League's Community Champion Award for 2014. The League presents the award to legislators who make strong efforts to work with municipal officials and ensure that municipal interests are represented during the legislative process. The awards were presented during CityVision 2014, the League's annual conference held in Greensboro.
The League also presented its inaugural General Assembly Ambassador award to Legislative Assistant Mary Marchman. The award recognizes a legislative staff member for professionalism and selflessness while carrying out his or her duties at the Legislature. Ms. Marchman has been a legislative assistant for the last 11 years, working both the House and Senate. She currently serves as legislative assistant to Senator Kathy Harrington of Gastonia.
"Each of these award recipients is a true champion and true professional. Their service at the Legislature has been invaluable to the state, its cities and towns, and the residents of North Carolina," said League Executive Director Paul Meyer. League President Ronnie Wall presented the awards to Senator McLaurin, Representative Wells and Ms. Marchman.
In remarks to those attending Monday night's dinner at the Koury Convention Center, Senator McLaurin noted the relative inexperience of the current legislature and how many legislators do not come to the job with a municipal perspective. He challenged city and town officials to take that perspective to their legislators. Representative Wells discussed his upbringing as the son of a city manager, and noted how issues that are allowed to fester locally can end up before legislators. Ms. Marchman gave a witty speech on how to tactfully approach and discuss issues with lawmakers. The League extends it congratulations and thanks to Senator McLaurin, Representative Wells and Ms. Marchman, and looks forward to working with each in the years to come.

Andy Wells, Thursday, July 17, 2014 at 13:33 pm
The howls started immediately when, last year, to reform the tax code and create jobs the General Assembly dropped the state's version of the so-called earned income tax credit.
It became, pretty quickly, a media circus.
Rev. William Barber waded in, suggesting he – by virtuously standing up for the E.I.T.C. – was the epitome of rectitude while those who didn't agree with him had no empathy for the poor.
It was politics run amuck.
So what exactly is the E.I.T.C.?
Well, first it's not a tax credit at all. Instead, it works like this: Let's say, hypothetically, a low income person pays $500 in Social Security and other taxes. At the end of the year, they can file for an E.I.T.C. tax credit and receive a 'refund' of, say, $2,000. In effect, they receive a 'refund' $1,500 greater than the taxes they paid.
And that's what the General Assembly ended last year: North Carolina's local version of Washington's E.I.T.C.
Now, last week, one of the publications that showcased Rev. Barber's attacks on conservatives – like me – reported the federal E.I.T.C. is a poster program not just for welfare boondoggles but outright fraud. According to the Government Accountability Office, 24% of all E.I.T.C. refunds ($14.5 billion) were 'overpayments' that should never have been made.
How, you might ask, could that happen? The Commissioner of the IRS explained the "improper payments" were caused by parents lying about their number of children or their incomes – and the IRS mailing the checks before bothering to check the claims.
To put that into perspective, $14.5 billion would pay for North Carolina's entire General Fund budget for eight months.
It never made sense to disguise a welfare payment as a tax credit. It was pure political hoo-doo. North Carolina took a step in the right direction when it ended the E.I.T.C. And Washington could save $14.5 bi8llion in waste by doing the same thing.
Coal Ash Management
My wife and I raised three sons who still live in the Carolinas, so, naturally, how to dispose of 100 million tons of coal ash got our attention.
I also guess, by now, we all know the biggest coal ash deposit in the state is right here in Catawba County. While that pond is downstream from our local water intakes, a spill – like the spill on the Dan River – could cause harm along the Catawba-Wateree basin from Charlotte to Charleston.
When it comes to cleaning up coal ash, one problem is folks can't agree on what to do. One group says – with absolute conviction – we ought to drain every pond, haul away the ash, burn it and then close the ponds.
Since that may cost $10 billion, other folks argue it's better to close the major threats immediately, then determine if there's an effective but less costly way to clean up the others.
There's another question hardly anyone's asked: Coal ash ponds have been regulated by state experts for decades. So how did we land in this mess? What went wrong?
There's no way to put this but bluntly: But when it comes to cleaning up the coal ash ponds having the same old team of regulators in the room isn't enough – we need some new faces.
And that's starting to happen. The legislature has put new people – who have no historical ownership of the problem that may blind them to a better solution – to work. It also helps the new team includes a number of people who have the engineering backgrounds, as well as a former national President of the Sierra Club with a 30 year history of environmental leadership.
Of course, we can't expect to correct 80 years of mistakes in six months.
When our sons took their first steps across the room, we didn't critique the wobble in their stride or measure the length of their steps and point out how they could cover more ground with a few tweaks. The bill dealing with coal ash is like that – it's the first few steps.

Movies A - Z
Heath Holland On...Six Faces of Real Evil
by Heath Holland
These movie villains even give Lord Voldemort and The Joker nightmares.
Do you ever watch a movie where the bad guy is so unrepentantly evil that it actually makes you uncomfortable? I'm definitely not talking about a baddies like Ultron or the Wicked Witch of the West. I'm talking about movies where the villain is so realistic that it makes it hard to continue watching the movie because you're suddenly thinking about very real, very dangerous people. Here are a few film characters that creep me out in a big, bad way because they could be in my town…in my neighborhood…on my street...
Sandra Dee's mom in A Summer Place
Constance Ford plays Sandra Dee's mom in 1959's A Summer Place, where two families visit a New England seaside resort that changes the course of their lives. In one part of the film, Sandra Dee and a teenage boy go out in a boat and end up getting caught in the middle of a severe storm. They end up stranded and spend the night together in the wild because they can't get back home. Later, after they've been recovered, Constance Ford's character is so convinced that her daughter has had sex with the boy that she hires a doctor to come examine her. Sandra Dee is excellent in the scene as she screams and cries and protests to her mother that she didn't do anything; her mother just looks on coldly as the doctor violates her daughter's privacy. I can't think of many things more horrifying than your own mother subjecting you to something like that. Constance Ford's character is racist, prudish, controlling, manipulative, and cares about no one but herself. To me, she's one of the most evil characters in all of film, made all the more frightening because the world is probably full of people just like her.
The Hill People from The Hills Have Eyes
I think killer mutant hillbillies are probably more fiction than fact, but they still terrify me. You hear stories about inbred mountain people in the hills of northern New Jersey and Appalachia (Google the Jackson Whites of Ramapo Mountain) and how people with six fingers would come down for supplies or necessities every now and then back in the 1970s. Those stories are probably mostly just that, but it does make you think. I live in the deep south (Mark Ahn calls it Dixie), and I do know that every now and then I end up in a particularly rural area, and that it's really scary. The further out you get into the poorer and more wooded areas, the more you start to see "unusual" people with afflictions, birth defects, and missing teeth. You can't help but be aware of the eyes of those that are upon you, and think to yourself "I need to get out of here NOW." The march of progress, the interstate highway system, and a Wal-Mart in every town (as our forefathers promised) has equalized a lot of America, but there are still places off the beaten path that you don't want to go because you don't know what—or who—is waiting in the woods.
The Firefly Family from House of 1000 Corpses and The Devil's Rejects
Piggybacking off of the previous entry on my list is Rob Zombie's Firefly Family. They aren't inbred hillbillies afflicted with mutations and birth defects. They don't kill you because there's a long-standing fear or prejudice against you. No, they kill you because they enjoy it, and that's perhaps even worse. They're trashy rednecks who live out in the middle of nowhere, but they know exactly what they're doing and are smart enough to calculate their kills well in advance and even lure unsuspecting victims into their tangled web. They're even charming, in their own twisted way. If I knew there was a guy like Captain Spaulding who ran a gas station with a dark ride in it (and fried chicken!), I'd actually be tempted to go check it out. Of course, that would be one of the last mistakes I ever made. I'm thoroughly repelled by the Firefly Family, but if I'm being honest, I'm drawn to them at the same time. That's what makes Rob Zombie so good at what he does, and that's what scares me.
Mrs. Carmody in The Mist
I've seen The Mist a grand total of ONE time, and I don't think that number is going to change any time soon. The reason for this is Marcia Gay Harden's spot-on portrayal of Mrs. Carmody, the religious fanatic who believes that Armageddon has begun. She's a self-righteous know-it-all, and she's absolutely impossible to deal with because she KNOWS, without a shadow of a doubt, that she's got all the answers. That's a dangerous way to live your life, but it's also dangerous for the people around you. Wouldn't you think a woman steeped in bible verses would believe that peace, love, and understanding were fundamental cornerstones of the faith she clings to? You would, but unfortunately people who are just like Mrs. Carmody are everywhere. Because the kind of religious folks I'm talking about were such a present factor in my childhood, The Mist both freaks me out and angers me. It shows humanity at its absolute worst. Full disclosure: I think the conclusion of the story, which comes from Stephen King's novella, has major pacing problems that King's original story did not, so some of my exasperation with the movie comes from that. Most of it, though, lies in Marcia Gay Harden's character and how infuriatingly pious she is.
Hannibal Lecter in Hannibal
I'll be honest: I can handle Hannibal Lecter without a problem in both Red Dragon and in Silence of the Lambs. He feels like a movie villain in those films to me, totally arch and cinematic in nature, and I'm able to say "that's not a real guy, it's a movie character." I'm never so engrossed in the movie that I forget that I'm watching a guy perform. Having said all that, 2001's Hannibal really grosses me out. There's one scene in particular with Ray Liotta—I bet you know the one—that I think surpasses plain ol' cannibalism and crosses into some really sadistic territory. I've read Thomas Harris' novels for both Red Dragon and for Silence of the Lambs, but not his Hannibal novel. Therefore, I can't say if the scene is his or if it's the creation of screenwriters, one of whom is David Mamet. Either way, I think the story crosses from good, clean cannibal fun into some stuff that I'm surprised hasn't given me nightmares by opening up a whole realm of cannibalistic possibilities I'd never even thought about. So now there's that, which I'll never get out of my head. Ugh. Check, please.
Calvin Candie in Django Unchained
Leonardo DiCaprio's character in Quentin Tarantino's 2012 spaghetti western is a real sonofabitch. The movie isn't afraid to lift up rocks and show us the disgusting things underneath, and Calvin Candie pretty much takes the cake in the "gross-thing-from-under-a-rock" category. DiCaprio's boyish good looks are set in stark contrast to the ugliness of his character, a man who trades in human life without having any understanding of its value. The actor has been open about his revulsion to the character, and initially wondered if Tarantino and the film were going too far. I've asked myself that question more than once, because it's such a challenging movie to get through. I think Tarantino's getting better with age, but the inhumanity in the hearts of so many characters in Django Unchained always give me pause when I think about watching the film. For the record, I do feel like it's a necessary story, and I commend Mr. Tarantino for exposing such an ugly part of American history and wrapping it in as palatable, popcorn-friendly a package as possible. It's a story that needed to be told, and there were (and still are) lots of Calvin Candies out there. Better to shine a spotlight on it than pretend it doesn't exist.
These are just a few characters from movies that feel so real and so scary to me because they're out there. I always reference Freddy and Jason in conversations like these because I know there's probably not an undead guy in a hockey mask in the woods or a burned pedophile waiting to get me in my dreams. I do, however, know that there are most certainly people just like the ones I've listed above because we see them in the news all the time. I suppose a list like this is subjective, and everyone's personal list would be different, so that's why I'd love to hear your own examples of what I'm talking about here. Shout 'em out in the comments below, and remember to stick together and stay in the light…they can't get us when we're in the light.

Nice list, Heath! Being a fan of the horror genre I'm with you on the Freddy and Jason comment. I love 'em but I've never been scared of monsters or anything that I have the ability to bash in the dome or run away from. The main thing that freaks me out is paranormal stuff because of the intangibility. You can't punch an evil spirit. That being said, there are a few people that made me really uncomfortable to watch. It's usually people that are so detached from reality that there is no reasoning with them whatsoever. They also seem to be masochists and sadists most of the time and that's scary as shit to me.
Michael Parks in "Tusk". I mentioned in a post before that for some reason that film really got me. I was super upset watching a person be broken down that way with no way to defend himself. For whatever reason I didn't like the film but it got to me. For some reason Human Centipede didn't. I didn't like that either but it seemed silly to me, Tusk didn't, which sounds ludicrous when you think about it!
Rooker's performance in "Henry" comes to mind.
OH and how could I forget Marc Senter as Ray Pye in Jack Ketchum's "The Lost". Holy crap, that guy terrified me!
Tim Roth as Cunningham in "Rob Roy". That dude was evil.
Last one that comes to mind is John Jarret as Mick Taylor in "Wolf Creek". That guy is real; and that's disturbing as hell.
JP May 13, 2015 at 7:36 AM
Michael Rooker's Henry scares me so much because of exactly the things you say here. He's not some out-sized movie villain, he's a soulless, terrifying human. His sidekick Otis (Tom Towles) is just as realistically scary.
Regarding Hannibal, yes that scene is in the book and it's even more nightmarishly gruesome than it is in the movie. As detestable a character as Krendler is you can't help but feel sorry for him. Nobody deserves so horrifying an exit.
Steve K. May 13, 2015 at 7:42 AM
If you have any love for the book and film The Silence of the Lambs, DO NOT read Hannibal. As bad as Krendler's fate is, it's nothing compared to what Harris does to Clarice Starling (one of my all-time favorite female characters).
I've often discussed this with a friend of mine about whether Hans Landa from Inglourious Basterds is a scarier character than Amon Goethe from Schindler's List. The latter is terrifying for a number of reasons; not least of which that he was an actual person. Beyond that, he was a true believer to the end. At the end of the film when he's getting hanged, and all he says is "Heil Hitler" is the most chilling thing I remember from it.
On the other hand, you have Landa. He is charismatic, funny, gleeful, and pretty up-front about the fact that what he really enjoys is being a detective. He's not a true Nazi in that he doesn't really subscribe to their ideals; for him this is just a gig. Considering the ramifications of what that character does, that fact that Landa can just rationalize his role that way might make him the scariest character I've ever seen in a movie.

TOMBARTMAN454@GMAIL.COM May 15, 2015 at 1:46 AM
Sweet list, I'd like to give an honorable mention to Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler. He is by far the most I've wanted a character to get its comeuppance in maybe the last 10 years. His complete lack of empathy to all the people around him just gave me feelings of super unease, even Walter White from Breaking Bad had some sympathy from me. Lou Bloom is cinema's equivalent to that tyrion lannister kid of Game of Thrones. If you want a fun time better to chat with Leo Bloom of The Producers.
Heath Holland May 15, 2015 at 8:53 PM

Okay, so you all know I've been trying to branch out (just one of the many things that I love about blogging), and quinoa was on my list of things to try to incorporate into our dinner routine. We've tried it a few times, but this dish is our favorite one so far… it has soooooo many Mexican flavors, plenty of protein and nutrition, and the best part… it cooks in one pan. One pan!
Although, I do have to say… I actually don't mind doing dishes. I know, I'm fully aware that I'm weird 😛 I revel in it lol. And I should specify, I like doing a medium or small amount of dishes. A giant sink full, plus all the pots and pans from cooking and table full of dirty plates… that, I don't like so much lol. That's why this is one of those meals that you'll love, all the flavor and yumminess, and hardly any mess at all.
I will warn you that it doesn't look super appetizing while it's cooking… just give it time.
So yeah, not all that appetizing…. yet!
It took me a little longer to get all the quinoa cooked than the original recipe stated, so I've put my cook time in this recipe, although I'll give you a range of when it may be finished so you're not flying blind.
So just start by sauteing the garlic and jalapeno in a little olive oil for a minute or two. Then add in all the remaining ingredients, stir to combine, let it come to a boil, then cover and simmer for 20-35 min. Mine took 30 minutes. You can garnish this any way you'd like, but I highly recommend a squeeze of fresh lime juice, sprinkle of minced cilantro and some diced avocado. Seriously, amazing!!
Some people don't like cilantro, but ohhhh we sure do!
The freshness of the garnishes really just makes these flavors really POP!
This recipe will be linked to Fiesta Friday and all the great parties on my Link Parties page!
How would you like to have a simple, yet incredibly flavorful vegetarian dish that will more than satisfy you... all cooked in one pan? Easy cleanup!
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic and jalapeno, and saute, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Stir in quinoa, vegetable stock, black beans, can of tomatoes, thawed corn, chili powder and cumin, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer until quinoa is cooked through and translucent, about 30 minutes. Top with avocado, cilantro, and squeeze lime juice over the top.
I made this dish over the weekend and it was literally the best thing I've made in awhile. It was my first time ever cooking with quinoa and it turned out great! I'm already planning when I'm going to make this meal again. Great recipe.
Made this for dinner tonight and it was so good! I was trying to avoid going to the grocery so I made a few changes based on what I had on hand and it turned out great. I added onion, red & green bell pepper and used a can of Rotel and small can of tomato sauce, upped the cumin because it's my favorite and added a little chipotle chili powder. My only regret was that I had no cilantro and I looooove cilantro! I'll be picking some up before we have the leftovers. 🙂 Thanks for sharing a great recipe!
This dish is calling my name! Trying to eat less meat and looking for new vegetarian meals. This is perfect! Pinned! Thanks for sharing at Thursday Favorite Things.
Your Mexican Skillet looks like it it filled with awesome flavor. Hope you are having a fantastic week and thanks so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Lol, I'm resistant to trying things people keep trying to get me to eat as well. I'd recommend it as a side dish instead of a main meal, that way your family has the option to try 🙂 Have a great week as well!!
This looks wonderful! We enjoy quinoa and we love Mexican flavors, so I will be trying this. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!! For something so simple, it has so much flavor 🙂 Hope you love it!
Popping over from totally talented Tuesdays- This look delicious! I am totally with you on the Cilantro, I cannot get enough of it (my husband would beg to differ, but what does he know?). Thanks for posting!
I'm looking forward to when the kids are old enough to help with dishes 🙂 Thank you! I think the recipe would be amazing with fresh corn, tomatoes and beans 😀 In fact, in the summer I plan to use all the fresh stuff because you just can't beat that fresh flavor 😀 Happy FF!
This sounds tasty, I am always on the lookout for different ideas with quinoa. I am with you on the garnishes as well!
This dish looks delicious. I like that you used quinoa instead of rice! I know you are thinking duhhhhh!


LONDON - Fοrmer British fοreign minister Bοris Johnsοn said οn Sunday Theresa May cοuld stay οn as prime minister and gο back to Brussels and renegοtiate the divοrce agreement if she loses a crucial parliamentary vote οn Tuesday οn her Brexit deal.
Johnsοn, a leading Brexit campaigner who is seen as a pοssible successοr to May, said Brussels would listen if she asked fοr the remοval frοm the deal of the Irish "backstop", an insurance pοlicy designed to prevent a pοst-Brexit hard bοrder between EU member Ireland and British-ruled Nοrthern Ireland.
"What people want to hear nοw is nοt stuff abοut leadership electiοns and persοnalities, what they want to hear is that there a plan to get out of this mess," he said.
BRUSSELS - Eurοpean Uniοn leaders will reaffirm suppοrt fοr Ukraine in its standoff with Russia and their readiness to increase aid to the cοuntry at a summit οn Thursday, the bloc's fοreign pοlicy chief said.
The EU's 28 heads of state will offer Ukraine help fοr its regiοns suffering after Russia seized three of its naval vessels and their crew off Crimea last mοnth, a draft summit statement seen by Reuters showed.

Former Ukrainian Prosecutor Exposes Yovanovich Perjury, George Kent's Motive To Impeach Trump
Monday, Dec 09, 2019 - 19:40
Authored by Sundance via the Conservative Treehouse
In a fantastic display of true investigative journalism, One America News journalist Chanel Rion tracked down Ukrainian witnesses as part of an exclusive OAN investigative series. The evidence being discovered dismantles the baseless Adam Schiff impeachment hoax and highlights many corrupt motives for U.S. politicians.
Ms. Rion spoke with Ukrainian former Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko who outlines how former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch perjured herself before Congress.
What is outlined in this interview is a problem for all DC politicians across both parties. The obviously corrupt influence efforts by U.S. Ambassador Yovanovitch as outlined by Lutsenko were not done independently.
Senators from both parties participated in the influence process and part of those influence priorities was exploiting the financial opportunities within Ukraine while simultaneously protecting Joe Biden and his family. This is where Senator John McCain and Senator Lindsey Graham were working with Marie Yovanovitch.
Imagine what would happen if all of the background information was to reach the general public? Thus the motive for Lindsey Graham currently working to bury it.
You might remember George Kent and Bill Taylor testified together.
It was evident months ago that U.S. chargé d'affaires to Ukraine, Bill Taylor, was one of the current participants in the coup effort against President Trump. It was Taylor who engaged in carefully planned text messages with EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland to set-up a narrative helpful to Adam Schiff's political coup effort.
Bill Taylor was formerly U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine ('06-'09) and later helped the Obama administration to design the laundry operation providing taxpayer financing to Ukraine in exchange for back-channel payments to U.S. politicians and their families.
In November Rudy Giuliani released a letter he sent to Senator Lindsey Graham outlining how Bill Taylor blocked VISA's for Ukrainian 'whistle-blowers' who are willing to testify to the corrupt financial scheme.
Unfortunately, as we are now witnessing, Senator Lindsey Graham, along with dozens of U.S. Senators currently serving, may very well have been recipients for money through the aforementioned laundry process. The VISA's are unlikely to get approval for congressional testimony, or Senate impeachment trial witness testimony.
U.S. senators write foreign aid policy, rules and regulations thereby creating the financing mechanisms to transmit U.S. funds. Those same senators then received a portion of the laundered funds back through their various "institutes" and business connections to the foreign government offices; in this example Ukraine. [ex. Burisma to Biden]
The U.S. State Dept. serves as a distribution network for the authorization of the money laundering by granting conflict waivers, approvals for financing (think Clinton Global Initiative), and permission slips for the payment of foreign money. The officials within the State Dept. take a cut of the overall payments through a system of "indulgence fees", junkets, gifts and expense payments to those with political oversight.
If anyone gets too close to revealing the process, writ large, they become a target of the entire apparatus. President Trump was considered an existential threat to this entire process. Hence our current political status with the ongoing coup.
Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, Senator Lindsey Graham and Senator John McCain meeting with corrupt Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko in December 2016.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out, because, well, in reality all of the U.S. Senators (both parties) are participating in the process for receiving taxpayer money and contributions from foreign governments.
A "Codel" is a congressional delegation that takes trips to work out the payments terms/conditions of any changes in graft financing. This is why Senators spend $20 million on a campaign to earn a job paying $350k/year. The "institutes" is where the real foreign money comes in; billions paid by governments like China, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Ukraine, etc. etc. There are trillions at stake.
[SIDEBAR: Majority Leader Mitch McConnell holds the power over these members (and the members of the Senate Intel Committee), because McConnell decides who sits on what committee. As soon as a Senator starts taking the bribes lobbying funds, McConnell then has full control over that Senator. This is how the system works.]
The McCain Institute is one of the obvious examples of the financing network. And that is the primary reason why Cindy McCain is such an outspoken critic of President Trump. In essence President Trump is standing between her and her next diamond necklace; a dangerous place to be.
So when we think about a Senate Impeachment Trial; and we consider which senators will vote to impeach President Trump, it's not just a matter of Democrats -vs- Republican. We need to look at the game of leverage, and the stand-off between those bribed Senators who would prefer President Trump did not interfere in their process.
McConnell has been advising President Trump which Senators are most likely to need their sensibilities eased. As an example President Trump met with Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski in November. Senator Murkowski rakes in millions from the multinational Oil and Gas industry; and she ain't about to allow horrible Trump to lessen her bank account any more than Cindy McCain will give up her frequent shopper discounts at Tiffanys.
Senator Lindsey Graham announcing today that he will not request or facilitate any impeachment testimony that touches on the DC laundry system for personal financial benefit (ie. Ukraine example), is specifically motivated by the need for all DC politicians to keep prying eyes away from the swamps' financial endeavors. WATCH:
This open-secret system of "Affluence and Influence" is how the intelligence apparatus gains such power. All of the DC participants are essentially beholden to the various U.S. intelligence services who are well aware of their endeavors.
There's a ton of exposure here (blackmail/leverage) which allows the unelected officials within the CIA, FBI and DOJ to hold power over the DC politicians. Hold this type of leverage long enough and the Intelligence Community then absorbs that power to enhance their self-belief of being more important than the system.
Perhaps this corrupt sense of grandiosity is what we are seeing play out in how the intelligence apparatus views President Donald J Trump as a risk to their importance.
FUBAR !

About Dash Print
Modified on: Wed, 26 Sep, 2018 at 5:26 AM
Dash is an open source peer-to-peer cryptocurrency with a strong focus on the payments industry. Dash offers a form of money that is portable, inexpensive, divisible and fast. It can be spent securely both online and in person with only minimal transaction fees. Based on the Bitcoin project, Dash aims to be the most user-friendly and scalable payments system in the world. In addition to Bitcoin's feature set, Dash currently also offers instant transactions (InstantSend), private transactions (PrivateSend) and operates a self-governing and self-funding model that enables the Dash network to pay individuals and businesses for work that adds value to the network. This decentralized governance and budgeting system makes it one of the first ever successful decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO).
If you are new to cryptocurrencies, the most important change to understand is that transactions occur directly between two parties without any central authority to facilitate the transaction. This also means that you are responsible for your own security - there is no bank or credit card company to reverse a transaction if your funds are stolen or lost. In this sense, it is similar to cash or gold, but cryptocurrency can be spent locally and internationally with equal ease, if you are confident you are sending funds to the right destination. For these reasons, the Dash documentation has a strong focus on safety and understanding the concepts and features that drive the Dash ecosystem. The videos, links and documentation below can help you get started, or use the table of contents on the left to find a specific topic of interest.
Dash aims to be the most user-friendly and scalable payments-focused cryptocurrency in the world.

West produce German Style lagers and wheat beers, both in kegs and bottles, which are sold primarily to the UK market. All West lagers and wheat beers are brewed in strict accordance with the 1516 Reinheitsgebot, the ancient German Purity Law.

History

West Brewery opened in March 2006, serving beer made in its Glasgow Green microbrewery to customers in the adjoining beer hall, West on the Green. The company West Brewing Company went into administration but was bought back by Wetzel in 2008.

Since its original conception as a German-style brewpub, West distributes its draught and bottled beers widely throughout the UK. West is now available in more than 3,000 outlets in the UK, as well as in packaged format at several major supermarkets.

In 2016, following a decade in business, West opened a new £5 million brewery, housed in the same premises within the iconic Templeton Building on Glasgow Green. The new brewery brought with it a ten-fold increase in capacity to 25,000 hectolitres a year.

In the same year, West on the Green also expanded with the opening of an adjacent 250-capacity Wedding and Events space.

Products
All West beers are brewed in strict accordance with the 1516 Reinheitsgebot, the ancient German Purity Law which allows only malted barley, hops, yeast and water to be used in the brewing process. This means that all West products are free from chemicals, preservatives, and any other additives, and are all suitable for vegans.

A blind woman in Germany baffled doctors when she spontaneously regained eyesight in all but two of her 10 personalities. Through therapy, the patient was able to completely regain her sight in the select few and become one of the most fascinating cases of psychogenic blindness in medical history.
The recent report, published in Psych Journal last month, describes the 33-year-old woman, referred to only as B.T., who slowly began losing her eyesight at age 20 after she sustained traumatic head and brain injuries in an accident, Braindecoder reported. By the time B.T. had began seeing a therapist for her dissociative identity disorder, previously referred to as multiple personality disorder, she was completely blind and required the help of a guide dog. B.T. had a total of 10 personalities, all of which differed by name, voice, reported age and gender, gesture, attitude, facial expressions, personal inclinations, aptitudes, and temperament. In addition, some personalities would only communicate in English, others only German, and some were able to speak both. After about four years of therapy, B.T. was able to spontaneously read the cover of a magazine during one of her sessions.
"The regaining of vision happened immediately after a therapy session in which a major traumatic event had been worked on. That was many years after the blindness first began," said Dr. Hans Strasburger of Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich, who saw the patient once for an fMRI, Braindecoder reported. Soon more of her personalities regained the ability to see, and brain scans showed that the spontaneous recovery from blindness was real. Using a tool to measure B.T.'s brain electrical activity in response to visual stimuli, doctors observed that the visual areas of B.T.'s brain remained inactive during her blind personality traits and active in her sighted personalities.

Apple's iPhone 6 is said to be headed to market late September, which makes sense given the past few release brackets, but whilst we've been treated to an abundance of coverage relating to the 4.7-inch variant, the more sizeable, 5.5-inch option has remained fairly elusive. This is, however, beginning to change, which suggests that the manufacturing process for the larger configuration is up and running, and to kick off what'll no doubt amount another week of considerable iPhone 6-related leaks, the logic boards of the two different size options have been compared side-by-side.
As with essentially all of our iPhone 6 leakage so far, there's no definitive way of verifying whether the logic boards seen below are the real deal or just the work of folk looking to cook up a story, but suffice to say, if these are phonies, somebody's gone to a helluva lot of trouble in creating them.
The credit for this scoop goes out, naturally, to the folks at Nowhereelse.fr, who've continued to supply leaks and information in respect to the iPhone 6. As you'll notice, the logic board components are very similar to those of the iPhone 5s – shown in the middle of the images – and although, at this stage, it pays to be a little apprehensive, we're fairly confident that what you see here are genuine shots of the iPhone 6's logic board.
Although the iPhone 6 is set for its usual September announcement / release, it has also been suggested that the 5.5-inch "phablet" model might be subject to delay as Apple irons out some issues with the battery and display. So while this latest revelation is nonetheless encouraging, it may still be the case that those in the market for the more substantial of the two iPhone 6 sizing options will have to wait a little longer than the rest.
As well as the obvious larger size, it's also reckoned that the iPhone 6 will sport a drastic redesign in the image of the iPad Air, and with the likes of NFC, better Wi-Fi and LTE accompanying the usual bumps to the camera and processor, we could be in for a real treat here.
What do you think of these logic board leaks?

Yeah I'm currently with them atm and it was around £780. Make sure you do talk to them and ask if there's anything else they can do to make it cheaper but they should offer you the quote they gave on the website. Please don't rush into it before making double checking everything first!!
I've just been on the phone with them for about 20 mins. Apparently they wouldn't be able to cover me as the quote on moneysupermarket was from there sister company.
Try ringing HIC, they're a sister company within the Adrian Flux group.

I'll phone HIC tomorrow. Footman James never bothered to call me back.
Any luck with flux? I've been getting my quotes from comparethemarket and flux were the only people to want to insure me (similar age and mods to you) Did they ask your engine size?
A lot of them do that on the comparison sites to entice you in and get you to ring them. They give you a stupidly low quote (in my case sub £100, 9+ years no claims) but then when you go through/call them, they refuse the offer due to the age of the car, car value, employment status, usage etc. and triple the offer or refuse completely. Witch makes using them a bit of a lottery.
