A great ride along the river in Muncie; slightly longer than the map indicates
October, 2021 by jonesandrewd_tl
I rode this trail through Muncie today, as an addition to my Cardinal Greenway ride. Much of this trail runs along the White River, giving some great river views that largely aren't part of the Cardinal Greenway. It also takes you by Minnetrista and some well-architected historic houses, and lets you see more of Muncie than just sticking to the Cardinal Greenway would - not to mention allowing a lot more people in Muncie to access the Cardinal Greenway without driving.
The trail has also been expanded since the TrailLink map was updated. It now goes under the railroad by North Gavin St, and continues along the river and some switchbacks before crossing a bridge known as Bridge #85 south of East Jackson Street, connecting back up with the Cardinal Greenway west of the river. This forms a loop option you can take with the Cardinal Greenway and the White River Greenway in Muncie. Technically the trail is closed under the railroad (perhaps they need to add protection for falling cargo from trains?), but with a very short segment on Bunch Boulevard, you can bypass the closure and get right back on the trail on the opposite side of the tracks.
A Great Ride from Richmond to Gaston
I rode the section of the trail from Richmond to Gaston over two days - essentially, all except the part above the gap to the north. It's a really good trail, but there are just enough shortcomings that I hesitate to put it at 5 stars, particularly compared to trails I've been on in West Virginia and Pennsylvania earlier in the year.
First, I'll note that I didn't notice any pig farms, despite expecting to on the southern section, nor any Rottweilers. There were some cow farms and a horse farm, but the only hazard were the many walnuts on the trail. I did see two cats, a lot of chipmunks, and quite a few blue jays, though ironically not a single cardinal.
The scenery is mostly fairly narrow wooded areas, with farms on the other side, though there are a few areas of denser wooded areas, notably by the nature preserve south of Muncie. This can be pretty, but it's also only partially shaded, and the afternoon sun slices through the trees pretty effectively. If you're doing a longer section, I recommend going northwest in the morning, and southeast in the afternoon if possible. I was going northwest and west in the afternoon of the first day, and the sun was doing an admirable job of trying to blind my left eye.
Amenities are good, but just short of great. There are restrooms every 4-5 miles, most of them with hand sanitizer, which is quite good. There are a decent number of water fountains as well, but of the three I tried on the northern section, two smelled bad, and one (by the Hitching Post, technically off of the White River Greenway but close to the Cardinal Greenway) didn't work. The southern section was reliable in this area. Outside of Muncie, there aren't a lot of places to pick up water in the northern section either, so err on the side of packing more water than you'll need.
The trail condition is generally very good, though it can be a bit bumpy in spots in Muncie. McGalliard Road is a more highly trafficked road crossing than most trails have, but it has an island in the center so you only need half of it to be clear at a time. I recommend jogging the bike across halfway at a time if it's a busier time of day.
The elevation gain is not negligible. Including segments on the White River Greenway in Muncie, and the Whitewater Gorge Trail in Richmond, I logged over 2000 feet of elevation gain, and it was noticeable, especially on the southern section where there were moderate, but extended, hill climbs. By comparison, I logged less than 1200 feet of elevation gain on the Greenbrier Trail in West Virginia, which is also longer. So don't assume that because it's in Indiana, you won't have some decent climbs!
I also should note that it's worth going into town in Muncie, whether that's the White River Greenway, which intersects with the Cardinal Greenway in two places, or grabbing some food at some of the excellent restaurants or breweries downtown, which is easily accessible from the trail. I always try to find a cool town or city to serve as a base when exploring a new trail, and Muncie did a great job in that regard.
A different section
October, 2021 by tim.patz
Got 6 miles in starting by Muncie.
This portion of the trail is just as the other couple parts I've experienced.
The paved trail is mostly flat, level and equally shaded/open.
The one thing to be aware of is a couple bad spots/cracks in the pavement that could result in an ankle injury or biking issue, but this should not deter one from using the trail.
So as always, if in the area and want to get a couple miles in, this should do.
Great trail
October, 2021 by tonyeret
Rode the trail today on a beautiful October day tying it in with the white river trail from downtown Indy. Temperature was 60 degrees and the path was in great shape after overnight rain. Sun King brewery at the turnaround. Awesome trail
Midland Trace Trail
Westfield Segment Allows Golf Carts
October, 2021 by canterburymanortackshop
The trail is much longer than shown on this map. It continues through Noblesville to the intersection of SR 32 and Hague Road where there are further options. However, those who oversee the Westfield segment of the trail decided it was a good idea to allow golf carts on the trail. The trail, especially over bridges, is not much wider than a golf cart which makes this decision dangerous for walkers, runners, bikers, and children. The Noblesville section does not allow ANY motorized vehicles and is, therefore, much safer and more enjoyable.
Pennsy Trail
Great Trail.
October, 2021 by llewis230
I rode the Pennsy today from Irvington to the trail end at Mt Comfort Rd, and back. It's an excellent paved trail with only sparse usage making for a relaxed ride. Next time we may navigate the gap between Mt Comfort and Greenfield and check out the eastern section.
Monon Trail
A great ride, but keep your eyes open in Westfield
September, 2021 by davidsontm
A new favorite! We rode from the Carmel trailhead north to Sheridan and back. The trail was beautifully, freshly blacktopped in the Carmel area - but also very heavily trafficked (granted, it was a beautiful day and Labor Day weekend). Once we got a bit further north, the trail was still smoothly paved, but we had it largely to ourselves. The trail is well-shaded for much but not all of the stretch north to Sheridan.
So to be clear, we loved the trail. From here on, I'll focus on providing info you might find useful.
Be advised, the Monon in this stretch is not always very well marked. It's especially sketchily marked in the Westfield area, where we ended up making an accidental detour west on 186th Street. The problem is compounded by the fact that there are sidewalks and paved trails all around you in that area that to all appearances could be the Monon.
FWIW, going north from 186th you should be starting at the intersection of 186th and Wheeler Rd, which changes names to Tomlinson Rd north of the intersection. From 186th north, it's basically a straight shot and there's really no question about whether you're on the Monon.
The trail becomes gradually less suburban and more rural the farther north you go from 186th, and you end by riding past barns and cornfields in the Sheridan area.
At Sheridan the trail ends at an American Legion hall at 236th St. There are two or three gas stations a short ways east on 236th where you can get drinks/food and use the restroom, but you'll have to ride on-road to get to them unless you backtrack a bit on the trail and cut through the adjacent Biddle Memorial Park.
We'd like to go back and run the stretch from Carmel to downtown Indy, but we'll probably wait for a weekday when we hopefully can avoid some of the traffic on the trail.
Limestone Greenway
Well marked trail that is lined with trees, limestone, and wildflowers. Perfect for running, walking, and biking. It passes a sewage treatment plant, so you might smell poop for a short time. One of my favorite places for a walk.

August, 2021 by bk8npd6xm6
The two posts to stop motorized vehicles and to slow down u before streets are too close together. They should be staggered like at other Hendricks county parks. I ride a trike and had to pull in mirrors and slow to a crawl. Overall a very nice trail.
Eagle Creek Trail
Park at Mayor's Garden. When you get to 38th Street turn right to stay on the trail. Mile markers are confusing because the Eagle Creek Trail and Eagle Creek Greenway are combined.
August, 2021 by hikerellis62
Columbus People Trail
I started by the baseball field and it looked like a nice path but the trail ends and you just run thru the residential area.

I live in Indy and I traverse 6.2 miles of the Monon as my daily commute (on days I ride to work). So this trail is an old acquaintance of mine. This review is intended to give a bigger-picture idea of what the Monon has to offer. The trail is about 27 miles, from the Northern exurb of Sheridan all the way down to 10th street on the near East side of Indianapolis. It is, for the most part, your typical rail trail: straight as an arrow, point A to point B . The trail exists in two counties; Marion county is the urban center of Indianapolis, and Hamilton county, which is the most affluent county in the metro area. The conditions of the trail reflect this reality. The Marion county section was scheduled to begin resurfacing and widening in 2020, but then 2020 happened. The only improvement to be accomplished in the Marion county section over the course of 2020 was the completion of a bicycle/pedestrian bridge over busy 38th street, which was VERY needed. Near the southern terminus, there is currently (July 2021) massive highway construction that has impacted the Monon. One hopes the resurfacing will be done following all of that.
What I want to point out here, though, is that the Monon trail is actually just the most travelled of a network of fine bicycle trails that fan out over the city. The Monon bisects the Fall Creek trail, which travels from the near west side all the way east out to Fort Harrison state part, along fall creek. This is a great trail with long uninterrupted portions of riding. The southern terminus of the Monon is just a short jog over from one of the ends of the downtown Cultural Trail. You can ride the Cultural trail southwest across the downtown to link up with the Wapahani trail, which goes southward out of town along the White River. Another terminus of the cultural trail in Fountain Square is a short ride from the Pleasant Run trail, another creek-following trail that runs east out to the cool old neighborhood of Irvington. The Fall Creek trail now intersects, at its current western terminus, with the Canal Towpath trail, which is my personal favorite trail, though it is maybe the shortest of these. Up in Hamilton county, there are more trails spurring off of the Monon than you can shake a stick at, as they lead into the many suburban neighborhoods up there.
So, if you are looking at the Monon as a possible destination trail, please take time to consider it in its full context. We have a fun little city here. You can ride your bike along a combination of these trails to get to just about any of the fun parts of town. Our little group of bike riding friends regularly put in 30-50 mile rides all over the place, with very little street riding.

I had missed my regular run for almost a week now and was eager to burn off those piled calories this morning. After dropping off the kids to school, reached home to put on my running shoes and quickly set-off before the sun rises.
9 minutes into my run, like a sack of potatoes, I came tumbling down to my knees.
OUCH!!! I missed that small pebble on the road and twisted my right ankle as I stepped over it. There goes my plan to complete a 40-minute run this morning! There goes my intention to add swimming into my regime this week! Arghhhhhh ... such an unsightly sore against my new tattoo on the other leg! The Chinese New Year is just at the end of the week and what a painful 'angpow' from the OX.
Freak-out!!! How could a small pebble cause this much damage?!!!
oh, that looks so painful. I'm really sorry that pebble found its way into your path.
My wife skinned her knee last week, She slipped on a patch of black ice. She didn't rip her pants, but her knee got scuffed up though the pants.
Thanks RicAdeMus. I hope your wife has recovered too.
Aiyoooooh, that's a pretty bad & painful wound. Ya, freaky accidents do happen & thank GOD that you're not hurt too "badly". Wish you a speedy recovery.
WOW! I had to enlarge the pic to see clearly. It looked like it was painted on. Why are the yellow and red color so strong? I hope you recover soon, sis. Take care!
oh man!! that's gotta hurt... and when it starts to heal, it's gonna each like mad.
@YB, @Lily Riani, @MKL: Thank you all. I really appreciate the comforting words. Makes me feel so loved that it is less painful already.
Hi Doc Stiletto, thanks for the tip but well, my knees are already full of scars from all the previous falls. I'm just so clumsy.
aiyoh, i left a comment yesterday but somehow didn't show up ke? Anyway, jaga the food you eat, rest well and speedy recovery.
Good God! That looks bad! Stuff like these do happen, you just have to be more careful. I once was running and tried to jump across this drain and fell inside ... LOL!
Hey Cheryl, thanks for the advice and also for dropping by yesterday nite, just to check on me.
Well, it is bad but surprisingly it is healing quite rapidly. Hopefully, I can run again by this weekend.
Btw, forgive me for LOL ... I can't help visualising you dropping right into the drain ... it's really amusing!

Chilly Temperatures, Spotty Showers: Here's Your SoCal Weather Outlook
Bundle up. Temperatures will remain below normal for the next few days after this week's record breaking rainstorm.
By Jonathan Lloyd	• Published December 15, 2021 • Updated on December 16, 2021 at 6:23 am
Chilly temperatures are expected through next week in Southern California with a chance for more rain as the official start of winter draws near.
Temperatures plummeted during Tuesday's storm, which broke rainfall records throughout the drought-stricken state. Below-normal readings are expected again Thursday, as are light showers.
Low temperatures Wednesday night will dip into the low and mid 40s in downtown LA, Anaheim, Long Beach and Irvine. Temperatures will drop into the upper 30s in Van Nuys, Thousand Oaks and Riverside. Residents in Lancaster, Santa Clarita and Victorville will feel the chill with temperatures in the low 30s.
"We could have frost formation again on top of our cars (Thursday) morning," said NBC4 forecaster Belen De Leon.

Daytime highs will be in the mid to upper 50s for most of the region.
So what about the rain?
This graphic shows rain season totals for 2021 and 2020, plus the rainfall average.
After a dry start Thursday, clouds will move in and bring light rain to parts of Southern California. Spotty showers are expected from late in the afternoon through early evening, but nothing like the downpours that drenched the region earlier this week.
"This could last all the way through early Friday morning, but it's not going to add up to much," De Leon said. "Remember, this time around we had inches of rain. This next storm is possibly going to bring us about a tenth of an inch, and not everybody will see the rain."
Most of the rain will fall in Orange County and the South Bay.
Expect sunny skies and cool conditions over the weekend with another storm possibly arriving during Christmas week. A storm system will make its way into Southern California early next week after the official start of winter on Tuesday, possibly bringing rain by mid-week.
"We'll be keeping an eye on that," De Leon said. "It could disrupt your travel plans."
Tuesday's storm left downtown Los Angeles with 3.03 inches of rainfall for the rain season, which starts Oct. 1. That's well above rainfall totals at this point last year.

Venezuela can count on support of government and people of SKN, says Foreign Affairs Minister Brantley
June 16, 2016 in NIA
Minister of Foreign Affairs in St. Kitts and Nevis Hon. Mark. Brantley (file photo)
NIA CHARLESTOWN NEVIS (June 16, 2016) — Minister of Foreign Affairs in St. Kitts and Nevis Hon. Mark Brantley, says the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela can count on the full support of the government and people of St. Kitts and Nevis in its time of difficulty.
The minister's comments came when he addressed the 46th Organisation of American States (OAS) General Assembly in the Dominican Republic on June 14, 2016. The theme for the three-day meeting was "Institutional Strengthening for Sustainable Development in the Americas."
"Our dear friend Venezuela and her people can count on the full support of St. Kitts and Nevis and her people.
"We are a single family in this our Americas and we must act in unison and with alacrity to fashion peaceful solutions to differences and conflicts which can and will sometimes arise," he said, regarding ongoing unrest in Venezuela.
Mr. Brantley stated that the Federal Government continues to watch with concern the difficulties being experienced in Venezuela.
He said over the past several years, no other country has been as critical to the development of St. Kitts and Nevis as Venezuela, whose hand of friendship extends across the Caribbean Sea and deep into the Americas.
However, Mr. Brantley stated that in spite of the difficulties the rule of law should be respected.
"Let the record show that my government supports unconditionally the people of Venezuela and we call on all actors to respect the rule of law, the constitution and the democratic norms of Venezuela. We, in this hemisphere, hold dear our aspiration to our hemisphere being a zone of peace.
"We therefore expect that any and all difficulties in any member state will be resolved peacefully, through dialogue with all stakeholders both from the body, political and civil society," he said.

Good Friday – Parallels are drawn between the horror and shock of watching the recent fire that destroyed part of the Cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris, built 850 years ago as a symbol of the body of Christ, and the horror and shock of the early disciples watching Jesus dying, nailed to a cross. When Jesus told his beloved disciple that Mary was now his mother, she became the mother of us all – Our Lady, or in the French language, Notre Dame. We await new life rising from the ashes, but let us mourn a great loss before looking for the new. Even death cannot suppress the irrepressible energy of God's presence. Love will rise from the ashes to greet a new day.

A British tourist seen walking along Patong Beach in a very drunken state on Friday morning appears to have drowned shortly after in a classic case of death by misadventure.
Pol Capt Yingyong Chuaigit at Patong Provincial Police Station said some residents saw the man on the beach at around 8:00. "He appeared to be drunk," said the captain quoting from witness statements. Some of his neighbours had approached him and told him to go back to his hotel and sober up.
Some time afterwards, people in the area watched him go for a swim and soon lost sight of him. Lifeguards who had been notified of his disappearance went out to search for him but returned empty-handed. At 10:00, lifeguards called the local police and asked for help.
Police officers and rescue workers from the Kusoldharm Foundation were dispatched and soon extended the search area. The victim's body was found some 20 minutes later and sent to Patong Hospital where he was identified as 38-year-old Scott Robert Townsend.
Pol Capt Yingyong revealed that Mr Townsend had entered Thailand on Saturday, April 15 for a week. "He was staying at a hotel close to Patong Beach. In his room, we found his passport, credit card and some clothes", stated investigator Pol Capt Yingyong.

With just a week's proceedings left in the Monsoon Session of the Parliament, Opposition leaders on Sunday posted a video on social media reiterating their demands that they have raised in the House since the session began on July 19. The 26-day long Monsoon Session of Parliament will end on August 13.
Trinamool Congress MP Derek O'Brien and Congress' Mallikarjun Kharge shared the video, accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party-led central government of not listening to the Opposition or answering important questions in Parliament. The video featured clips of speeches in Parliament from leaders of 10 Opposition parties.
"Mr [Narendra] Modi, come listen to us," O'Brien tweeted.
"Mr Modi,
Come listen to us." #Parliament @INCIndia@AITCofficial@samajwadiparty@ShivSena @trspartyonline @arivalayam @cpimspeak @RJDforIndia@NCPspeaks @AamAadmiParty

The Monsoon Session of Parliament has seen several disruptions over the past few weeks as the government and the Opposition have reached an impasse over discussion into allegations that the Pegasus spyware was used to spy on several politicians, journalists and activists in India.
The government has refused to hold discussions on the allegations of surveillance, while the Opposition has repeatedly insisted on deliberating on the matter.
"You are not allowing the discussion we have been asking for the past 14 days and you are passing a Bill which can be discussed later," Kharge was heard saying in the video. "If you have courage, begin the discussions on Pegasus now."
Vandana Chavan of the Nationalist Congress Party and Manoj Jha of the Rashtriya Janata Dal also demanded for discussion on the spyware in the video.
Trinamool Congress' Sukhendu Shekhar Roy alleged that there was no freedom of expression in the House, while Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam MP RS Bharathi demanded a discussion on the "quality of democracy" in the Parliament.
"Whether it is about farmers, about the economy, safety and security of women...just the words mentioned by the Opposition makes them silence our voices, makes them adjourn Parliament, makes them mute our microphones," Priyanka Chaturvedi of the Shiv Sena said.
Leaders of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi, Aam Aadmi Party and Communist Party of India (Marxist) were also heard delivering speeches in the video.
In order to take up pressing matters in Parliament, the Opposition has held meetings and joint press briefings to put pressure on the Narendra Modi government. Among the other matters, politicians in the Opposition also want discussions on the farm law protests and the rise in fuel prices.
The video released on Sunday was a compilation of speeches on these matters by Opposition leaders.

MIL-OSI UK: The importance of UNOCA in preventing and resolving conflict
Source: UK Government
6 December 2019 (Transcript of the speech, exactly as it was delivered)
Thank you very much, Madam President, and how nice to see you in the chair.
Madam President, the United Kingdom welcomes the efforts of UNOCA – and thank you to SRSG Fall for your briefing and your work and that of your team. We welcome the efforts of UNOCA in monitoring, political peace and security developments and trends in Central Africa this year. We welcome the good offices deployed, the work on conflict prevention and mediation, your support to peace and security initiatives and your efforts to enhance coherence and coordination in the subregion. And I want to say how important we also think it is that you continue your efforts to support ECCAS and ECCAS members in their work to strengthen and reform the organisation. UNOCA should look to enhance its work on early warning and analysis alongside greater coordination with UN country teams in the subregion going forward.
With this focus on conflict prevention in mind, let me turn to some specific country areas within UNOCA's mandate. The UK continues to share the concerns set out in the report about the deteriorating humanitarian and security situation in the northwest and southwest regions of Cameroon. We welcome the reports and information that humanitarian access in areas of Cameroon, controlled by the government of Cameroon, have improved significantly in the past few months. All parties, though, need to do more to ensure humanitarian access is protected. And I must particularly condemn attacks on health, infrastructure and personnel on schools, teachers, parents and children, as set out in the UNOCA report. Human rights violations and abuses committed by all sides must stop and all allegations must be investigated.
And let me say how much the United Kingdom welcomes the government of Cameroon's steps to convene a national dialogue, and alongside that, the release of detainees. The government of Cameroon now needs to ensure that the key recommendations from the national dialogue are implemented, including strengthening bilingualism in the education and legal systems; decentralisation through granting special status to the northwest and southwest regions; and taking steps to engage diaspora groups. I stress again, these are the government of Cameroon's own intentions, own policies, but we believe that urgent follow-up on those recommendations is vital to maintain momentum. Put simply, words need to be matched by actions. Failure to do so will only cause the already concerning situation to deteriorate further. And the United Kingdom remains willing, as it has been throughout, to support the government of Cameroon in carrying out these recommendations and urges all UN bodies to to do likewise.
Now, Madam President, a united approach on Cameroon is important. The recent joint Commonwealth-Francophonie-African Union visit to Cameroon helped promote the restoration of peace in the northwest and southwest regions. We look forward to hearing about the follow-up recommendations from this joint visit. It's imperative that the regional and wider international community continues to support credible peacebuilding efforts, including through the mechanism of the Peacebuilding Fund, and urgently responds to the growing humanitarian need. We believe that regional and subregional organizations such as the EU and actors play an integral role, and we hope for further joint visits by the United Nations and the African Union to Cameroon and neighbouring countries.
Let me welcome the OHCHR technical mission to Cameroon, which was, of course, at the invitation of its government, and urge prompt, continued and full cooperation between all sides to ensure the protection of civilians and accountability. And it's important that there's follow-up to the visit, including on impunity. Freedom of political expression, must be respected at all times, including in the run up to the forthcoming legislative and municipal elections.
Madam President, let me turn briefly to the situation in the Lake Chad Basin. SRSG Fall reminded us in his briefing, and of course, in his report, on the impact of climate change in that space. The UNOCA report highlighted deplorable high levels of violence and human displacement resulting from Boko Haram and ISWA attacks on civilian and military targets. Now, the United Kingdom recognises the important role of regional countries in supporting stability in the Lake Chad Basin, including through the Multinational Joint Task Force and of course, their hosting of refugees. And a number of us were able to hear from the executive secretary of the Lake Chad Basin Commission during the Peacebuilding Commission annual session this week on progress made with respect to the regional stabilisation strategy. And all I'd say is I think that we need to do more to ensure full implementation of SCR 2349 to tackle security, humanitarian and development crises in the region.
And we fully support the cooperation that's been exhibited between UNOCA and UNOWAS, and we're very pleased to hear about the joint visits between SRSGs Fall and Chambas, and we look forward to a an update when your report on those visits is ready and any conclusions you're able to draw together on the way forward.
The United Kingdom welcomes the progress made to date by President Touadéra and the CAR authorities since the February peace agreement. We also welcome the reactivation of the CAR-Cameroon and CAR-Republic of Congo Bilateral Commissions and the advocacy role played by UNOCA in helping to bring these about.
We remain extremely concerned by the ongoing political challenges and human rights situation in Burundi and its humanitarian consequences. The elections scheduled for next year are a critical moment for Burundi and we urge the government to work with all parties to ensure a fair and peaceful election.
Let me conclude, Madam President, by noting again that the report and the briefing set out a number of areas where the UN, in its form of its Secretariat, where the agencies, funds and programmes, where member states can support countries and the region in conflict prevention and conflict resolution. We all need to rise to that challenge, and UNOCA is key to that.
Thank you, Madam President.

Social Media and Business Aspects
Control of Interstate Transactions
Arms of Government
Federal Agency Relationship to Social Media
With 1.11 billion users as of March 2013, businesses all over the world are turning to Facebook as an advertisement platform. On the other end, consumers are increasingly accessing Facebook to obtain information on various products and businesses as the number of businesses on the social media site burgeons by the day reaching a record 15million brands. Social media has created room for innovative social programs. Companies take advantage of this to interact freely with their customers with an objective of increasing their numbers. Businesses engage in publishing ideas, sharing and even allow the public to vote for their products. Thus, it is imperative for business owners and other concerned parties to equip themselves with knowledge of the ins and outs of marketing on social media and identify competent social media marketing managers (Evans, 2008).
First, a sound social media-marketing manager should be well conversant with the laws relating to social media. Such competence aids Facebook to draw up legitimate contracts recognized by the law, thereby mitigating the risks of using social media for business endeavors. This protects consumer transactions.
Secondly, well-informed social media marketing managers should have the ability to make informed decisions on issues that arise spontaneously during the course of their practice. Such an attribute helps Facebook provide solutions to unprecedented problems that ensue during consumer transactions on the social media site.
Thirdly, a competent social media-marketing manager should be able to confront the limitations imposed by law in his or her trade to make room for innovation. By way of explanation, Facebook ought to operate with a sense of creative freedom whilst remaining within the bounds of law. As a result, consumers subscribe to sublime services while enjoying the protection of the law.
Lastly, moral values and propriety to ethical expectations are idiosyncrasies of an adept marketing manager. Possessing the previously mentioned characteristic leaves consumers in safe hands as they conduct their activities on Facebook.
Arbitration as a dispute resolution process involves the appointment of an unbiased third party who holds the final say in a dispute after hearing out the parties entangled in the dispute. Arbitration proves effective when the members involved are incapable of coming up with a solution on their own.
Mediation makes use of an expert at conflict resolution to help resolve a dispute. The responsibility of guiding the parties reach an amicable solution is with the mediator, though the concerned parties generate the solution independent of the mediator. Mediation works in situations where the conflicting sides are capable of reaching an agreement. Both arbitration and mediation are especially useful in the internal affairs of Facebook such as when there is an interdepartmental dispute. External disputes are mainly resolved in a court such as when Think Computer Corporation disputed Facebook over trademark rights.
Negotiation is another alternative dispute resolution approach. The conflicting sides employ Legal Attorneys and negotiate on behalf of their clients. Negotiations come highly recommended in conflicts that have to do with legal matters that are beyond the scope of the antagonistic parties. Negotiation has widely been used in organizations and states to resolving about 90% of both political and economic disputes before they proceed to trial. Such is the case when in July 2012; Facebook resolved its patent issues with Yahoo out of court by way and means of negotiation. Soon after, Facebook's stock value recorded a slight increase.
The federal government should install technology that is relevant to its endeavor of controlling interstate transactions on Facebook and other social media. In the year 2011, the global amount of data, people produced were more or less 1,800 billion gigabytes. With that figure in mind, it is clear that without the necessary technology, the government would find it impossible to keep track of social media transactions. Additionally, the federal government ought to pass a transparency act that enables it to collect data, private or otherwise, from all individuals that make transactions on social media. Though controversial, data collection is vital in tracing social media transactions for the greater good. Still, the federal government is obligated to bring forth legislative measures that define procedures, prevent unfavorable transactions, and issue retribution on matters pertinent to social media transactions. Doing so would ensure maintenance of civil standards when using Facebook for any kind of activity (Bagley, 2013).
The federal government is in three chief arms, namely the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary. On the issue of social media transactions, the executive arm of government is responsible for setting up services and policies that direct social media transactions. For example, any social media such as Facebook needs approval from the program office as well as the relevant communications office before commencement of its services. As for the legislative branch of the federal government, its major task is conceiving laws that govern transactions on social media. As a case and point, there have been ongoing reviews of the legislature governing the privacy of user data on Facebook and other social media sites. On the other hand, the judicial arm of government role is to make rulings over legal matters and offer advice on the same. Over and above, the three branches of government complement each other in their roles.
Despite the indispensable roles all three arms of government play, the legislative wing doubtless has the ability to make the most impact on Facebook and other social media. With the ability to implement legislature, this arm of government seemingly takes center stage on the issue of social media transactions. The other two departments of government play a supporting role by either punishing defiance to the implemented laws, as is the case with the judiciary or formulating policies that enhance the laws as is evident with the executive (Keillor, 2013).
For frictionless and mutually productive interaction between Facebook and the businesses that make use of its advertisement platform, there is a need for an impeccable agency relationship. True to this notion, Facebook has, in the recent past made bold steps in establishing a sound marketing agency. Therefore, a well-defined agency relationship exists between Facebook and other businesses. As if in defiance to trends with numerous ad tech entities that are working to get around marketing agencies, Facebook is doing the exact opposite of investing in the agencies. As a case and point, Facebook has increased the headcount of its international marketing agency department to 20 persons while the local agency has seen a boost from 30 staff members to 100. Facebook aims to increase its revenue from marketing agencies as well as improve on the ways and means of their advertising campaign (Bargely, 2002).
Social media is an indispensable marketing platform for any business with a goal to succeed. Hiring proficient marketing managers is similarly paramount. Furthermore, the government is a party in the shift to social media for marketing purposes as its legislative, executive, and judicial roles serve as a backbone of the industry. In conclusion, there is a need for corporations to invest in agency relationships.

Go, travel many roads on many islands in a lifetime, yet the 14.2 miles that lay from Broadford to Elgol will be etched in your minds eye forever. The road gave a rest for weary heads, waking eyes and running falls. Forgotten gravestones are playgrounds for sheep. Moss breaks the bitten grass and clings to rocks amidst the sound of running water. Salt lochs eb and swell twice a day, jostling the moored boats that smell the Ocean, lying protected from its prowess. Freshwater slides silently across the surface of the dense saline expanse, hands painful from the plunge. The tarmac curves bringing back into sight of were you came, a moment of recollection for a first time wanderer……….

Is there a way I can add a note to each entry that could jog my failing memory?
Not that I am aware of. We would hope the ignore list would only have to be used very sparingly, and thus you would remember why.


This week, a number of companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange revealed their plans to enter the crypto exchange business. They include one of the most popular budget-managing app operators, an entertainment conglomerate, one of the largest music labels, and a medical corporation.
Budget-managing app operator Money Forward Inc (TYO: 3994) made two crypto-related announcements this week. Launched in 2012, the company "has grown rapidly to become one of the hottest financial technology startups, with its namesake application now boasting 5.5 million users," the Japan Times described.
Money Forward Financial Co., Ltd. ('MF Financial') will start media related to blockchains and virtual currencies from the summer of 2018 and aim to establish a virtual currency exchange office within 2018.
Another announcement made on the same day is the plan to partner with 20 crypto exchanges in Japan and overseas to provide accounting solutions for crypto traders. Citing that it is already cooperating with Bitflyer, Coincheck, and Zaif crypto exchanges, the company says it is now in the process of collaborating with Btcbox, Bitbank, Quoine, and Fisco.
Drecom Co. Ltd. (TYO: 3793) engages in the development and marketing of entertainment content for mobile and PC. The company announced on Wednesday partial amendments to its Articles of Incorporation, adding a number of businesses it plans to start including crypto businesses. The amendments will be presented to shareholders at the next annual meeting.
The amendments state that the company plans to enter the "virtual currency exchange" business, particularly the "Planning, operation and management of exchanges relating to virtual currencies." Furthermore, the company plans to offer cryptocurrency settlement services.
Yamane Medical Corporation (TYO: 2144) operates in the nursing and personal care sector. The company "operates a home care center for elderly people under the Nagoya Residence name in Japan. The company's care center offers off-site, accommodation, housing services, etc., as well as safety confirmation and lifestyle consultation, on-site day, emergency response, and medical services," Bloomberg describes.
Adways Inc (TYO: 2489) is a Tokyo-based global mobile app marketing company whose main business includes an ad agency, an ad network and a third party tracking tool.
This law went into effect in Japan in April last year which legalized cryptocurrencies as a means of payment in the country and requires all crypto exchanges to register with the country's Financial Services Agency (FSA).
Avex Inc (TYO: 7860) is an entertainment conglomerate and one of the largest music labels in Japan. The company was founded by Max Matsuura, Japanese talent manager, record producer, songwriter, and radio personality. Avex manages J-pop talents such as Ayumi Hamasaki and internet sensation Pikotaro. The company has also expanded into other business areas such as anime, video games, and live music events.
On Thursday, Avex published amendments to its Articles of Incorporation to add "virtual currency exchange" as a new business venture. The amendments will be presented at the company's next meeting of shareholders.
There will be times when major companies have to enter to improve the environment.
Japan currently has 16 fully licensed crypto exchanges. Another eight exchanges' applications are being reviewed by the FSA. Furthermore, the agency revealed recently that about 100 more companies are interested in entering the space.
Do you think more public companies should launch crypto exchanges? Let us know in the comments section below.

Do you have what it takes to go "down under"?
If you have an attraction to the land down under, then G'Day Casino is most definitely the destination for you. It's home to a multitude of casino games, and it's been online since the year of 2013. It holds licences from both the United Kingdom Gambling Commission and the Curaçao eGaming company, meaning that it's a fully regulated environment for gaming in. The platform is owned by Caddell Limited NV, and the games involved on such are able to be accessed in both instant play mode as well as via a mobile device, such as a smartphone or a tablet. You'll also find that it's quite appealing to customers from other locations where English isn't the first language, as you can view the platform in German, Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish as well. You're also able to play in a variety of different currencies, including Australian dollars and Canadian dollars.
As soon as you load up the casino's homepage, you'll be greeted with imagery of the Australian outback, featuring kangaroos, hot desert plains and soaring eagles, as well as a banner across the top depicting various landmarks, like the Sydney Opera House. You'll also be able to see that the website has a very modern design to it, and includes an easy to use interface to take you through the different sections of the casino. Game categories can be found down the left hand side of the screen, while recent winners and advertisements for the support team and the live casino are displayed underneath this.
As most online gamers will know, joining up to a casino will ensure that you also have access to some special offers as well, and G'Day Casino falls right in line with this way of thinking. In fact, as soon as you have completed your registration and verified your account, you'll be the recipient of 50 no deposit freespins to use on the recent Netent release, Guns n Roses. But the fun doesn't end there, because the welcome package that is provided spreads out across your first three deposits. For your first deposit, you can transfer any amount that you like into your account and you'll receive a bonus of 100% up to infinity! That's right, there's no cap on that first deposit!
Following on from that, your second deposit supplies you with a bonus of 25% on top, up to £500, and your third deposit gives you a reward of 50% on top up to £500. Further to this, every deposit you make in the casino thereafter will see you receive a 10% ongoing cash bonus up to £50 per day, and you can also participate in some of the weekly promotions as well. These include the 'Monday Blues Buster' and the 'Break the Bank Wednesdays' offering.
As noted, Netent is one of the software developers who provides this site with its games, but this provider is joined by several others, including Betsoft, Quickspin, Thunderkick and Elk Studios, to name but a few. The game categories are listed down the left hand side of the screen, and includes such sections as 'Bonzer Pokies'. The word 'pokies' is the Australian term for slot machine games. Of course, the standard slot games make up the biggest offering, with titles like Witch Pickings, Pandamania, Wild Water and Potion Factory all able to be easily accessed. In addition, all of Netent's progressive jackpot games, like Mega Fortune can be found at G'Day as well.
These games are joined by categories for the various different types of roulette and blackjack games, while standard table games like Punto Banco Pro – High and Red Dog Progressive are also available on the site. There are four video poker options to play, as well as other fun games, such as scratch cards, bingo and keno.
Adding funds to your account at this casino is able to be done with speed and ease, thanks to the fact that there are various different accepted forms of depositing. These include Visa and MasterCard products, as well as POLi, Trustly and Giropay. You can also make use of Paysafecard options, as well as Dotpay, or if you're more of a fan of utilising eWallets, there's the chance to transfer funds using Skrill or NETeller. Finally, a bank wire transfer can be used.
If it does come to a time when you're in need of some assistance while gaming at G'Day Casino, there is a nice and informative FAQ section incorporated into the site. However, sometimes this isn't enough, so you'll need to speak to a support agent from the dedicated and friendly team. They are reachable via the site's live chat function, which is available on a 24/7 basis. Alternatively, you can send an email along to [email protected].
If we're judging casinos by their outward appearance, then G'Day is a huge cut above the rest in terms of its overall design. However, it backs up its flashy exterior by providing a large selection of interesting games from some of the top developers, as well as offering up plentiful promotions, a wide range of payment methods and a round the clock support team.


Yesterday we added a page to our website called Podcasters We Love. That page was the latest in a long string of tweaks and adjustments that we've made over the last two years. Why did we add the page? From a personal perspective, we love the content produced by everyone on that page. Cynthia, Mike, Ryan and Jason all contribute to our knowledge and thus our ability to produce our own content. To say that in a different way, we're fans.
From a business perspective, we know that the goodwill we show them will be reciprocated. We promote them. They promote us. That's a good thing. Take Ryan Hanley's Content Warfare which is one of the podcasts that we modeled our podcast after. The other day a fan of The Web.Search.Social Marketing Podcast sent us a note to say that she is now listening to Ryan's show because she heard it mentioned on ours. How cool is that? Just so you know, I can trace a number of people who listen to our show back to appearances I made on Ryan's show. We are helping each other cultivate new audiences.
A few months ago, I interviewed Ryan on the Nuclear Chowder Marketing Podcast (I was guest hosting for Mike Brooks. Well, ok, I podjacked the episode). I asked Ryan, who was working on completing the first few chapters of his first book The Content Warfare Book, how he was going to break beyond the super fan bubble. I'm not going to give you the answer here because I want you to go listen to that interview, but I'm going to give you my perspective.
What Is The Super Fan Bubble?
The super fan bubble is a collection of dedicated and loyal fans. Fans that will not only consume your content but take action on your behalf. They'll buy your products, listen to your shows, share your tweets. The super fan bubble is great, but it can also be a plateau that slows growth.
The goal of any business endeavor is to continue to grow your audience or customers. So you need to cultivate relationships with the people in your super fan bubble while creating strategies to help you grow the bubble to include more super fans.
What you, Dear Reader, should be focused on is continuously breaking beyond the super fan bubble and creating new, larger super fan bubbles.
Before I get too deep here I should point out that this is true for any business, not just content creators such as podcasters. If you build a loyal base of users, subscribers, shoppers, customers or patrons who love your product or service, eventually you'll plateau. At that point you may be able to sustain your business with your super fans but if you want to grow your business then you need to use the energy of your super fan bubble to grow and stimulate new fans.
That's what Ryan and I are doing. Despite having some overlap, we have our own unique super fans. I want to introduce my bubble to him and I want him to introduce his bubble to me. The end result: growth for both of us.
But then what happens when we've saturated each other's bubbles?
That's where Superhero Alisa Meredith comes in.
She's the newest podcaster on the block. I'm not supposed to tell you this, but right now Alisa is sitting in a hardend bunker miles underground developing a podcast to help businesses with their marketing. As a friend and guest of our show, I know she's up to the task.
But as I said, I'm not supposed to tell you that.
Anyway, her podcast (that I'm not supposed to talk about) will start off like every other; with zero listeners. Then she'll get one, then two and so on. But what if it doesn't have to start that way for her? What if I went on my show and introduced my super fan bubble to her show? Chances are not everyone in my super fan bubble will become her fans, but I'm willing to bet that enough will that she'll have some immediate traction. Then she'll go to work cultivating that bubble and growing it. And then, when she has developed her own super fan bubble, she'll introduce The Web.Search.Social Marketing Podcast to them, adding to the momentum of our bubble.
That's when this comes back full circle to Ryan. Our new larger super fan bubble can now be directed to Ryan's great content, helping him grow his super fan bubble.
In the end, we all cooperate, collaborate, share and help each other grow.
But, Wait! What About Competition?
Aren't Alisa and Mike and Ryan and Jason and Cynthia kind of competitors?
Yes. No. Maybe. I don't care.
I want us all to win. My success is partially theirs and visa versa.
That's how we build relationships, and also how we can all contribute to a viable economy.
So what does this mean for you, Dear Business Owner?
It means that you may be able to go beyond sustaining your super fan bubble by embracing your competitors as allies and using goodwill to cultivate a larger super fan bubble. Sure you'll be helping them too, but there's lots of business to go around.
Here in the United States it's looking like the waves of a "bad economy" are receding. That means that there are a lot of businesses out there just waiting to give you their money for your product or service.
Chances are you can't service everyone, so build a bridge. Build partnerships. Cultivate relationships with the people that you traditionally consider the competition.
I can't tell you that this model is foolproof, but I can tell you that every business (including my own) that has adopted a "friend" instead of "foe" policy has grown and done better than when they went at it alone.
So don't just think about your super fan bubble as your own. Think about how you can introduce your super fan bubble to another audience and how you can leverage a relationship with a competitor or vertical to expand both of your super fan bubbles.
There is strength in numbers. But there is also strength in goodwill.
Let me know in the comments about your super fan bubble and how you can cultivate a larger richer super fan bubble for yourself and someone else.
Before you go, give a shout out to Alisa Meredith on Twitter. She's putting a lot of work into her new podcast that I'm not supposed to be telling you about.
Also, visit ContentWarfareBook.com. I don't know what else to say except it's an exceptional work for the modern marketer.
And visit my good friend Mike S. Brooks' podcast at NuclearChowder.com as well as Cynthia Sanchez at OhSoPinteresting.com.
And no bubble would be complete without Jason T. Wiser and OnTrackTips.com. I'm drinking a cup of coffee out of my On Track Tips mug right this very moment.
I love all of these guys and gals.
I am their super fan.

Forum on Trade and Natural Resources
Hilton Nairobi, Nairobi, Kenya
Wildlife Economy, Global
Three sessions within the ICTSD Trade and Development Symposium
Organised by the African Wildlife Foundation, Earthmind, ICTSD, IISD, and the Smith School for Enterprise and the Environment (Oxford University)
The UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and supported by the commitments made in the Addis Ababa Action Agenda (AAAA), was adopted in September 2015. Among the set of global priorities, the Agenda includes reform of illegal and unsustainable resource extraction (including illegal fishing, and the poaching and trafficking of protected species) and promotion of sustainable marine and terrestrial resource use. Goals 14 and 15, in particular, establish targets around ending illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing and taking urgent action to end poaching and trafficking of protected flora and fauna – a target directly linked to the work undertaken by the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). The targets also refer to addressing "both the demand and supply of illegal wildlife products".
As the attention of policy-makers and civil society turns to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, the first forum on 'wild trade,' will be organised in parallel with the WTO's 10th Ministerial Conference in Nairobi, Kenya. It will explore the potential for and challenges associated with sustainable trade in wild natural resources (fish, trees, other wildlife, and ecosystem services) and its support to different aspects of sustainable development, including environmental sustainability and health, livelihoods and inclusive economic growth, governance and the rule of law.
The Forum will consist of three sessions exploring the critical issues of addressing illegal trade in wild natural resources, voluntary standards for sustainable wild trade, and options for building coherent policy frameworks addressing trade in wild resources as part of the implementation of the 2030 Agenda.
Session 1: Addressing Illegal Trade in Natural Resources
14:00-15:30 – Amboseli Room – Video coverage
Identify the distinct challenges associated with trade in illegal, unreported and unregulated fish catch; trade in illegally sourced timber; and trade in other wildlife (flora and fauna) that violates international agreements or domestic laws, as well the impact of these activities on different aspects of sustainable development (e.g. health, livelihoods, governance).
Explore how cooperative international trade policy measures by governments as well as private initiatives could help to address these challenges.

Louie Psihoyos, Executive Director of the Oceanic Preservation Society (OPS), is recognized as one of the top photographers in the world. He was hired directly out of college to shoot for National Geographic and created images for the yellow-bordered magazine for 18 years. His ability to bring humanity and wit to complicated science stories carries over to his filmmaking. An ardent diver and dive photographer, he feels compelled to show the world the decline of our planet's crucial resource, the oceans.
Psihoyos's first documentary film, The Cove, won the Academy Award® for Best Documentary Film of 2009 and over 75 other awards around the world. The film garnered immense critical praise and has been seen by millions of viewers worldwide.
His second film, Racing Extinction, follows a team of artists and activists as they expose the hidden world of extinction with never-before-seen images that will change the way we see the world. The film premiered on Discovery in 220 countries and territories on the same day, and sparked the #StartWith1Thing movement. Psihoyos was also the creative mind, along with Obscura Digital, behind the unprecedented large-scale building projections onto the United Nations Headquarters and the Empire State Building documented in Racing Extinction. The projections themselves have become a traveling phenomenon, continuing at St. Peter's Basilica at The Vatican.
Psihoyos is currently in production on a feature documentary about plant-based super athletes.

Nature 2.0Presentations of select art projects by Jon Cohrs and Oliver Kellhammer, that reexamine human/nature and our relationships with the non-human world. Followed by a discussion with Oliver, Jon, and Marina Zurkow, and Q + A.
Oliver Kellhammer (http://oliverk.org/) is a Canadian land artist, permaculture teacher, activist and writer. His botanical interventions and public art projects demonstrate nature's surprising ability to recover from damage. His work facilitates the processes of environmental regeneration by engaging the botanical and socio-political underpinnings of the landscape, taking such forms as small-scale urban eco-forestry, inner city community agriculture and the restoration of eroded railway ravines. His process is essentially anti-monumental – as his interventions integrate into the ecological and cultural communities that form around them, his role as artist becomes increasingly obscured. He describes what he does as a kind of catalytic model-making, which lives on as a vehicle for community empowerment while demonstrating methods of positive engagement with the global environmental crisis.
Most of his recent projects are situated in and around Vancouver, Canada and currently he is completing his 'Climate Change Forest' project, in collaboration with the British scientist, Rupert Sheldrake, in a remote location off Vancouver Island . Over the past 25 years, Kellhammer has lectured widely at Canadian and American universities and colleges and co-led the 1995 'Living at the End of Nation States,' residency at the Banff Centre.
Jon Cohrs (http://splnlss.com/) is a recording engineer and visual artist based in Brooklyn, NY. Often employing humor and absurdity, his work uses public engagement and site-specific interventions to address global issues. Recently, he created OMG I'm on .TV; an analog Pirate TV station that filled the void left behind by the digital transition. OMG TV was used as a reference in a Supreme Court amicus brief on creativity and copyright.
He has taught at Parsons, The New School for Design, as a visiting artist at Colorado College, and will be teaching at SUNY Purchase in the Film + Media department in January 2012. He recently completed a fellowship at Eyebeam Art + Technology Center and is currently working on a film about artificial flavoring and the New Jersey Meadowlands called the "The Spice Trade Expedition".
His work has been shown at Ars Electronica, FutureEverything, Ditch Projects, 2010 Vancouver Olympics, The Total Museum, and discussed in numerous publications.


Translator's Note: Jean-Yves Le Gallou was a member of Alain de Benoist's GRECE in the 1970s and is a former Front National (FN) politician, as well as co-founder of Iliade , a leading identitarian think-tank inspired by the work of Dominique Venner. This article discusses the recent departure of the civic nationalist Florian Philippot from the FN, whose anti-EU and anti-euro line, to the detriment of identitarian and immigration issues, has been blamed for Marine Le Pen's mediocre performance in the last presidential elections. The title is editorial.
Eighteen years after the expulsion of Bruno Mégret's followers  from the FN, Florian Philippot has walked out the door. It is tempting to compare the two events. A Le Pen is kicking out a media-savvy personality. After the polytechnician coming from the Rally for the Republic  in the 1980s, it's the turn of the énarque  coming from Chevènement's  ranks to sit in the dock. But the parallel stops there, given that there are so many differences!
Bruno Mégret was in the FN for fourteen years. He contributed greatly to shaping its organization. He trained its cadres and activists. He was appreciated by them, which allowed him and his friends to win the internal elections in the congress of Strasbourg in 1997. He developed an intellectual current with the magazine Identité, which was the template for the identitarian tendency which is so important today. Bruno Mégret also managed stunning electoral campaigns, delivering results everywhere. In Vitrolles  he even received, along with his wife Catherine, over fifty percent of the vote, with a voter turnout of ninety percent: a record which has yet to be beaten within the FN!
Mégret also enjoyed a positive image in the media which was fairly quickly exploited to undermine Jean-Marie Le Pen. Magazine covers on the theme of "Mégret is more dangerous than Le Pen" contributed to the mutual mistrust between the two men. During the split, over half of the elected officials and officers joined Mégret, taking with them their party activists. But once he was removed from the FN, Mégret was pressured by the System to renounce the rough edges of his [anti-]immigration program, which he refused to do. After that, the media spotlights went out. And with the Internet still in its infancy and social media non-existent, this lack of media visibility led Mégret to defeat in the 1999 European elections (3.5 percent for the National Republican Movement, 5.5 percent  for the FN).
This boy has evidently forgotten that in politics, one must not only be feared, but also loved. Philippot departs with many handicaps: besides his (very) restricted inner circle, few people will follow him. His sovereigno-monetarist themes are not the stuff of dreams, and he has the charisma of an oyster. Finally, he will have a hard time finding his niche between Mélenchon,  who has a real position; Asselineau,  who has a real network [of supporters]; and Dupont-Aignan,  who, for his part, was able to take an identitarian turn.
Philippot has one last asset which Mégret did not have after the split of 1999: the media. He will be systematically invited by the media – at least in the beginning – if only to contribute to re-demonizing the FN and knocking out Marine Le Pen, who is already in a fairly difficult position. It is uncertain, however, whether the media's putting him on artificial respiration will save him in the long run. The moment will come when he will be unplugged. Sic transit gloria mundi!
I will let the two protagonists conclude regarding their fundamental differences. For Florian Philippot: "Bruno Mégret left for a more radical political offer." For Bruno Mégret: "Florian Philoppot is promoting a nostalgic sovereignism and a backward-looking social policy worthy of the 1960s." One thinks that the 2010s are the 1990s, while the other dreams of the 1960s at the beginning of the twenty-first century.
The original French version of this article was published on the Boulevard Voltaire Website .
  Bruno Mégret (b. 1949), a graduate of the École Polytechnique and a trained civil servant, was also a founding member of the anti-egalitarian organization which had ties to Alain de Benoist's GRECE, the Club de l'Horloge, in the 1970s. He eventually left it and, after working with the Rally for the Republic party for a few years, joined the FN in 1985. He quickly rose to prominence in the Party and was very popular. In the 1990s, he began criticizing what they called Jean-Marie Le Pen's "extremist" positions for holding back the Party, and called for the organization of labor unions affiliated with the FN, which went against the Party's anti-union stance. He left the Party in 1998 and founded the National Republican Movement, a nationalist party, which he led until he retired from politics in 2008.
  Rally for the Republic was a mainstream Gaullist conservative party founded by Jacques Chirac from 1976 until it was merged into the Union for a Popular Movement, the party of Nicolas Sarkozy, in 2002.
  A graduate of the École nationale d'administration, a school for civil servants.
  Jean-Pierre Chevènement (b. 1939) is a Left-wing sovereignist, and was one of the founders of France's Socialist Party.
  A suburb of Aix-en-Provence with 36,000 citizens.
  The minimum threshold for a party to enter the French parliament is five percent.
  An industrial city in Lorraine of 22,000 citizens. In 2012, Philippot was defeated in the runoff of the parliamentary election in Forbach.
  Jean-Luc Mélenchon (b. 1951) is a politician from the Left Party.
  François Asselineau (b. 1957) is the President of the anti-EU Popular Republican Union.
  Nicolas Dupont-Aignan (b. 1961) was the founder of Arise France, a Right-wing party. He supported the Front National in the second round of the May 2017 elections, setting an important precedent.
