My husband and I had a wonderful three-week "staycation" between his graduation and starting work. We enjoyed a low-key Christmas in the Anchorage area but managed to slip in an awesome little road trip. We decided to take advantage of the time off and go to Homer for a few days, since with work starting and then babies coming soon, road trips might be a rarity for a while. It was the perfect little getaway, and we SO enjoyed Homer in the winter that I had to write a post about it!
The drive to Homer is amazingly beautiful. We caught a glimpse of Dall sheep really close to the highway along the Turnagain Arm and pulled over to take a closer look! It is not rare to see them, but these young ones were really close to ground level. I put my hand over my mouth a few times when they daringly ventured to precarious perches, but I should not worry about their naturally surefooted strides. The white spot off to the left in the picture was an older (full curl) ram, and I kept laughing because he had his neck stretched out so he could see what these three were doing the whole time. Finally he turned around and left, and they quickly took note and followed him.
We spotted about ten more sheep in clumps spread throughout the mountainside. Must have been a good day for exploring and eating!
Homer. I've always considered this Alaskan town such a fun and stunning place to visit, but I'd only ever been there in the summer, mingling with hordes of tourists. Winter transforms this town! The tourism stops, the fishing is mostly halted, and residents enjoy the quiet pace of a small Alaskan town with some great food, beautiful beaches, and lots of coffee (a surprising way of life in Alaska, with many local coffee roasters and exponentially more coffee snobs). Everyone seemed laid back and in no hurry. The boatyards were full of vessels waiting for summer's fishing madness to ensue, and the boats left in the harbor lazily bobbed in the incessant Homer wind.
Since neither of us had been to Homer in the winter, we wanted to explore the back roads and bluffs. We drove twenty miles east on East End Road (which will take you to the Kilcher family's homestead--of "Alaska: The Last Frontier"--if you know the right side road to take). This road winds through bluffs and hillsides (I guess others may call them mountains, but that's relative here) that many people call home. Here you will see hay fields, log cabins, new homes, old homes, lots of farm equipment, greenhouses, and people who love to live off the land, Alaska style, as much as they can.
I took the photo above (and below) at a viewpoint way up high in a nice residential area of Homer. You can see Beluga Lake, the small airport to the left, and the five-mile Homer Spit extending into the ocean (Kachemak Bay) in the background. The clouds never quite lifted from the mountains during our trip, but we could see more of them this day.
The photos below are a glimpse of Homer in the summer (note the cruise ship in the background!). It is a vibrant town, the highlight for visitors being the Homer Spit with all kinds of food and shops and docks bursting with fishing boats and fishermen cleaning their catches of the day. It's really a fun place to take a walk, look for seaglass, admire the boats, get some food, and take in the exciting atmosphere. But winter in Homer has become my favorite. So peaceful and pretty.
The beach was cold and windy (what's new for Homer), but I had to snap a shot of these shells that symbolized our two little ones growing inside of me. :) Thanks for reading along, and I hope many of you get the chance to visit Homer, Alaska, someday—maybe even in the winter.
If you haven't heard, my book was released in December! Visit my book page to see how you can get a copy. Treasures of a Childlike Heart is a heartwarming memoir that's perfect for cozy winter reading.
Love Homer. :) Glad to read that it is still awesome.
It's probably had the same atmosphere for many years! It's a unique and fun place.
And if I'm concerned about sheep, imagine my own kids... ;) I will work on that.
We thought about you and your winter trips to Homer on occasion. We would love to go back again in the winter... maybe in a couple years we can!
Stunning pictures, Mary Anne! Love Beluga lake, it's beautiful!
Thank you! And I'm grateful for your encouragement with food. :) I am trying to eat healthy as much as I can. I don't have strong cravings, really, but I am indulging in treats here and there. With twins, I have to put on more pounds to make sure they're a healthy birth weight!
Fantastic news about the twins Mary Anne! Our son and his wife had twin girls (non-identical) last March. They are a joy, albeit a very busy joy! Great to read about your Alaska too, cheers.
How fun to get to be the grandparent of twins and be able to hand them back to the parents for the serious (and late night!) caretaking! ha. Congrats to your family. Thanks for stopping by.
What a lovely place Homer looks! Sooo exciting that you are having twin girls!!! Miss you so much! Praying for an easy rest of the pregnancy and peaceful little girls full of life and joy!
Thanks Kelli! I really appreciate that!
Congrats!!! :-) So happy for you and your husband!
Homer looks like a perfect spot for a getaway. Tourist towns in the off-season are often more enjoyable than during hectic peak-holiday times.
Thank you for stopping by and commenting! I agree about off-season tourist towns. We have lots of those in AK, but many of them see such a significant decrease in "population" that almost everything shuts down. Homer is big enough that it's still a fully functioning town. I'd love to get out more in the winter and explore more of these off-season little towns, but the limited daylight hours aren't conducive to too many long road trips.
That is my idea of a dream vacation - maybe someday with enough money, we have plenty of time, we will make it. Looks like I need to sell a few more books :-) Congrats on the girls!
Thanks! And I hope you get to take a wonderful Alaska vacation someday.
Oh, to be on the road system! :) Someday I hope to see the rest of Alaska! Probably when all of my children are ya know... walking and dressing themselves. ;) Love the photos, and I'm so excited for your family!
I hope you do get to take some fun trips around! Have you utilized the ferry much? I haven't yet but I really want to!
Only to get here from down South the first time! It was a long ride and I got motion sick, but I think a shorter trip would be fun!
Thanks for sharing a picturesque journey to Homer with us. Evocative, as always. And best to you and your growing family-to-be!
Homer is one of the most beautiful places in AK! I visited once in the fall - after the summer tourism season was over, and it was such a different vibe. I bet winter is even more different. No matter the season, I never tire of that beautiful view of the mountains across Kachemak Bay!
Wonderful! I don't think I've really been in fall. Possibly really early September or late August, but things are still busy then. I agree about the view. Simply amazing!

Women are "One of Us"
'It is a beautifully simple step but could help save millions of lives…' So goes the tagline on the homepage of what has been one of the most successful European Citizen's Initiatives (ECIs) to date. On the contrary this is an initiative which risks lives, especially women's lives.
ECIs were set up with the aim of bringing the activities of the European Parliament closer to the citizens of Europe. If a petition can achieve 1 million signatures from across at least seven member states the Commission is obliged to consider the proposal being put forward. So what was the beautifully simple step this ECI involved? As we reported back in October 2012, the ECI states:
"The human embryo deserves respect to its dignity and integrity. This is enounced by the European Court of Justice in the Brüstle case, which defines the human embryo as the beginning of the development of the human being. To ensure consistency in areas of its competence where the life of the human embryo is at stake, the EU should establish a ban and end the financing of activities which presuppose the destruction of human embryos, in particular in the areas of research, development aid and public health."
The ECI achieved the requisite number of signatures late in 2013. Notwithstanding that this was not a "Catholic Initiative", it was able to harness the infrastructure of the Roman Catholic Church, complete with endorsement by Pope Benedict XVI on the homepage, to gather signatures from across ten member states. On April 9-10 of this year the coordinators of this ECI had the opportunity to present their arguments to the EU Commissioners for Research (Máire Geoghegan-Quinn) and Development Aid (Andris Piebalgs). On 28 May the Commission officially responded to the ECI and – thankfully for women's and human rights – rejected the premises upon which it is based and declined to consider a legislative proposal that might give effect to it.
As noted in the Response from the Commission the legal basis for this ECI was weak from the start. The ECI purported to draw from the decision in Oliver Brüstle v Greenpeace (Case C-34/10) (2010/C 100/29) in defining the human embryo as existing from the moment of conception for the purposes of legal protection. But this claim deliberately overlooked the fact that the decision in Brüstle was concerned solely with the issue of patentability. As such it specifically did not provide a precedent for a more wide-ranging definition of legal personhood or serve as a comment on whether human embryonic stem cell research (hESCR) is permissible or something that should be funded.
If successful the ECI had the potential to severely restrict hESCR within the EU. But more worrying is the impact that this ECI could have had on the lives of women in countries in receipt of EU Development Aid; countries where maternal mortality and morbidity are higher than those we consider acceptable within the EU; countries where access to safe and legal abortion is a basic health need. If successful the ERI would have directly challenged fundamental rights of women and been in direct conflict with the aims of Millennium Development Goal 5 to improve maternal health worldwide.
'One of Us' is modelled on a restriction, introduced by Ronald Regan in 1984, often called 'the global gag'. This is a prohibition on organisations that receive US Government funding from facilitating access to abortion services or advocating for liberalisation of domestic abortion prohibitions. This restriction applies even if the organisation provides a broad range of sexual and reproductive health services and obtains its funding for abortion services from another source. The 'global gag' has been endorsed by every Republican president since Regan and rescinded by every Democratic president. It is important to note that this gag applies in countries where abortion is legal (neither USA nor EU Development Aid is used to fund access to abortion where the procedure is illegal). The impact of the global gag has been measured by several organisations including the World Health Organisation, the Guttmacher Institute, and Population Action International. And what have these organisations found? Unsurprisingly the global gag has increased the number of unplanned pregnancies and abortions because of the impact it has had on family planning and contraceptive care more generally. It has also had significant and negative impact on the lives of real women in countries where they most need assistance.
The World Health Organisation estimate that approximately 289,000 women died in 2013 during and following pregnancy. Campaigns like "One of Us" are not a "beautifully simple step" to saving millions of lives. They are moves intended to disadvantage and marginalise women; sadly often those most in need of assistance. Women in developing countries are 'one of us' and should be treated as such.

#MosqueMeToo: What happened when I was sexually assaulted during the hajj

The Washington Post, Feb 15, 2018

Muslim feminist writer Mona Eltahawy says fighting back against men who grope women isn't violence, it's self-defense. (Gillian Brockell, Elaisha Stokes, Kate Woodsome/The Washington Post)
Mona Eltahawy is a feminist author based in Cairo and New York. She is author of "Headscarves and Hymens: Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution.â€
[Read this essay in Arabic: أنا_كمان_٠ي_المسجد: ما حدث عندما تعرضت لتحرش جنسي أثناء الحج#]
A young Pakistani woman named Sabica Khan wrote a Facebook post this month about her harrowing experience at Islam's holy site in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. She wrote about being sexually harassed while performing the tawwaf — the circling of the Ka'aba, the cubical structure toward which Muslims pray five times a day. In response, hundreds of Muslim women shared similar experiences on her wall. Her post was shared at least 2,000 times. To support her, I started #MosqueMeToo and tweeted about my own experience of sexual assault during the Muslim pilgrimage, the hajj. In two days, my Twitter thread had been retweeted or liked thousands of times. It was shared in Indonesian, Arabic, Turkish, French, German, Spanish and Farsi. I had never before seen such a response.
It was heartening to see other Muslim women speak out and say "Me too†about something so taboo. Their experiences were sadly familiar to mine. In 1982, when I was 15, I was sexually assaulted twice while my family and I were performing the hajj.
My family had just moved to Saudi Arabia, and it was the first time in my life that I was covered from head to toe in the white clothing required by female pilgrims. The first assault was by a man who was performing the tawwaf. Hundreds of thousands of pilgrims perform the tawwaf on any given day during the hajj. It is very crowded. But you can tell the difference between someone accidentally bumping into you in a crowd and a determined hand shoved onto your buttocks, refusing to budge, despite all your attempts to squirm free. The second assault happened during the ritual of kissing the black stone that sits at one corner of the Ka'aba. My mother and I waited with other women until the Saudi policeman in charge of regulating the gender lines (men and women are separated for this) motioned for the men to step back and for us to proceed. As I bent down to kiss the stone, the policeman fondled my breast.
I could not turn around to confront him, even if I had the wherewithal. It is only as I got older that I learned to grab hands that assaulted me, and to kick, slap and spit at their owners. But at 15, all I could do was burst into tears. That such a violation was happening to me as we performed the fifth pillar of our religion at Islam's holiest site traumatized and shamed me, even though I had obviously done nothing to be ashamed of.
Something broke in me, and it took years to acknowledge it.
I buried my sexual assault. I had no words for it. No one I knew had ever shared a similar horror. Who would believe that something so awful had happened to me at such a sacred place? It was better to stay silent. I was 15, and all I knew was that I wanted to hide my body from men. So I began to wear hijab. Of course, being covered from head to toe during the hajj had not protected me. But again, I was 15 and just wanted to hide.
It would take a few more years and feminism — and multiple more times when my body was groped, pinched and touched without my permission during the nine years that I wore hijab — to know unwaveringly that sexual assault has nothing to do with how you're dressed. It has everything to do with the predator who assaults you. I also had to mature into the understanding that the men who assaulted me abused the sanctity of a sacred space to ensure the silence of their victim. They knew that no one would believe me. I did not know the writer and poet Audre Lorde then, but as my feminism grew, I began to understand what she meant when she said, "Your silence will not protect you.â€
And so I began to speak. The first time I shared with an international group of women in Cairo that I had been sexually assaulted during the hajj, an Egyptian Muslim woman took me aside and warned me to stop sharing what had happened in front of foreigners because it would "make Muslims look bad.†I told her it was not I but the men who assaulted me who "make Muslims look bad.â€
The next time I spoke publicly about my assault, it was in Arabic on an Egyptian prime-time television show in 2013. The segment producer told me I was the first person who had ever shared her sexual assault during the hajj on Egyptian television. It was such a taboo that he was lucky he still had a job after the backlash. As I continued to quietly share with fellow Muslim women my experience of sexual assault during the hajj, the stories started to flow, with more and more women saying "Me too!†All those years of silence were for the same reason: We thought it was impossible that anyone else had gone through such a violation at such a sacred place.
I wrote about my sexual assault in my 2015 book because I wanted a permanent record of what had happened to me. Muslim women would write to tell me that passage made them cry. Last year, as Muslims from around the world were preparing to converge on Mecca for the hajj, I posted a series of tweets about being sexually assaulted during the pilgrimage because I wanted to warn fellow Muslim women. Until the Saudi authorities who administer the holy sites take concrete steps to protect female pilgrims, we must protect each other. Men must stop assaulting us, yes. But women the world over, regardless of faith, know that until that happens, we are each other's keepers.
Like many revolutionary moments, #MeToo is the latest iteration of many years of work by activists. Black feminist Tarana Burke first used #MeToo in 2007 to show solidarity with survivors of sexual violence. When famous actresses began to use it to expose sexual assault by powerful producers, #MeToo gained exposure that has helped it resonate globally. We must make sure #MeToo breaks the race, class, gender and faith lines that make it so hard for marginalized people to be heard. It has been good to see #ChurchToo expose sexual harassment and abuse in Christian sacred spaces. I urge fellow Muslim women to use #MosqueMeToo to talk about sexual violence during the hajj and at other sacred spaces.
What else can be done? I'd suggest that the imam of the Grand Mosque of Mecca give a sermon in the run-up to the hajj in which he acknowledges that Muslim women have exposed sexual assault during the pilgrimage and that men at the holy sites must respect women. Saudi authorities must launch a campaign about the safety of female pilgrims and the determination of the authorities to ensure every woman's safety. Saudi authorities can also train their police to be on the lookout for assaults and make sure that male officers who commit sexual abuse will be held accountable. And more female security personnel must be present at the holy sites. There are a few at the entrance — but their main job is to yell at women to make sure they're covered properly.
I am not naive. I know too well that Muslim women are caught between a rock and a hard place. On one side are Islamophobes and racists who are all too willing to demonize Muslim men by weaponizing my testimony of sexual assault. On the other side is the "community†of fellow Muslims who are all to willing to defend all Muslim men — they would rather I shut up about being sexually assaulted during the hajj than make Muslims look bad. Neither side cares about the well-being of Muslim women. Reading the stories that women have shared with me of their sexual assaults during the hajj has undone something broken in me I thought I had stitched together. I was 15, traumatized and ashamed after I was sexually assaulted during the hajj. I am now 50 and shameless.
I will never ally with Islamophobes and racists. But in the choice between "community†and Muslim women, I will always choose my sisters.
Have you been harassed in a religious space? What do you think should be done to help protect women in these spaces?
As #MeToo goes global, we are asking women of different national and religious backgrounds about their stories. Tell us yours.

Review: The Maid
Firstly, many thanks to NetGalley, and to Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for the opportunity to read The Maid! This was my first Joan of Arc book. I was excited to read her story, as up to this point, I confess that I knew very little about her. Not the case anymore, however, as this story certainly put her short life into historical context. She was a fascinating character; a peasant girl who responded to God's call, and helped bring about the end to the Hundred Years' War. Her campaign in 1429 unquestionably helped lead France to victory against the English. Largely because of her, France eventually won their country back. Thousands of lives were lost, and it was truly amazing that this "Maid" repeatedly gave the war cries that energized an army. They relied on her, revered her, and then, when she needed them the most, they turned their backs to her. Everyone knows that Jehanne d'Arc was eventually captured by the English, and burned at the stake. She was seventeen when she died. Hardly an end befitting a young woman with that kind of devotion, heart and candor.
Did Joan truly hear the voices of Saints? Did she really have conversations with Saints Michael, Margaret or Catherine? Was her determination to lead a French army God's mission, or the ravings of a madwoman? Many today have dismissed her "voices" as a sign that she was schizophrenic. I would love to believe otherwise, however, if only for her sake. She was recognized by the Catholic Church as a Saint in 1920, so surely her life had some divine qualities.
Overall, while the story of Joan of Arc is never dull, I did struggle to feel true attachment to any of the book's characters, including Jehanne. There is no doubt that this young woman led an incredible life, but this story felt rushed. The writing also jumped between styles, from narrator to Joan's personal observations, which was odd. Felt like there should have been more emotion behind the historical account, and there always seemed to be something lacking from the descriptions. A decent read, but may leave you wanting more from this slice of history. 3 stars.

Q: Is it possible to reference a single path and method in OpenAPI 3? Suppose I have an OpenAPI 3 document describing API Foo as follows:
openapi: 3.0.0
info:
  version: '1'
  title: Foo
paths:
 /foo:
  get:
    responses:
      200:
        description: A Foo
  post:
    responses:
      201:
        description: Foo created

In another OpenAPI document for API Bar, I would like to reference only the GET /foo operation from API Foo. The OpenAPI docs talk a little about referencing a whole path. However, if I do the following:
openapi: 3.0.0
info:
  version: '1'
  title: Bar
paths:
 /foo:
  $ref: 'foo.yaml#/paths/~1foo'

I naturally get both the GET and the POST in API Bar, since only the path is referenced, not the method.
I tried this:
openapi: 3.0.0
info:
  version: '1'
  title: Bar
paths:
 /foo:
   get:
     $ref: 'foo.yaml#/paths/~1foo/get'

But this gives errors like should NOT have additional properties additionalProperty: $ref and should have required property 'responses' missingProperty: responses in various tools, so it doesn't seem to be supported.
Is there a way to accomplish this? I should note that the real request is much more complicated, hence the desire to de-duplicate. If possible I would like to avoid filling in many child objects of get with individual $refs.

A: OpenAPI doesn't have a way to $ref an individual operation (get/post/etc.), you can only $ref an entire path.
You can propose syntax enhancements in the OpenAPI Specification repository:

I still remember the first time I got a paycheck from working at a local fun park. I had worked a lot during those two weeks and was expecting a $300 paycheck. I had already worked up a plan in my head of what I was going to do with the money. And then I showed up to work to pick it up and was totally surprised to see that it was only about $245. I thought they had forgotten to pay me for a day or two so I went to the office manager and explained the situation to her and she let me know that it was a smaller check than I was expecting because I had to pay taxes.
Don't get me wrong, I knew when people made money that they had to pay taxes. But I didn't realize exactly how much I would be paying to the government. My pay stub showed me that if there's one thing the government likes to do it's tax people. After all, there are federal taxes, state taxes, property taxes, sales taxes, excise taxes, social security taxes, Medicare taxes, capital gains taxes, corporate taxes, and local taxes. I don't know about you but I hate paying any taxes at all?let alone taxes on so many different things.
But taxation is an important part of our government. The government acts as a very large business with lots of debt and expenses so they have to create a revenue stream by taxing the people. And as a US citizen, you'll be paying these taxes throughout your entire life, so this article will explain to you a few different types of taxes and how to pay your taxes.
Income taxes are pretty easy to understand. Basically, how they work is that when you have a job and are making money, a portion of your income is withheld to pay taxes. If you look at one of your pay stubs from your job, you'll notice that taxes are being taken out. You'll probably notice that there's a few different things they're categorized under. On your paycheck, you'll see money going to the federal government in general, social security, Medicare, and the state government. How much you pay depends on the tax bracket you're in.
When you invest, you also have to pay taxes on your investments. This is something that a lot of people fail to realize when they're first starting out with investing. Basically, you pay taxes only on the amount of money that you make. So if you bought one share of XYZ stock for $10 per share and sold it for $20, you would have a capital gain of $10, which you would have to pay taxes on.
The nice thing about capital gains taxes is that you're given an incentive to hold the stock longer. If you hold the stock for at least a year, you qualify for a reduced capital gains tax. So stick to the long-term!
If you're pretty young, you're not gonna have to worry about other taxes for a while, with the exception of sales tax. The other taxes I'm referring to are property taxes (taxes on your home and real estate), excise taxes (taxes on gas, cigarettes, gambling, etc.), and corporate taxes (taxes businesses pay). Basically, there's a lot of taxes grouped into this category.
If you've ever done your taxes before or have known someone who does their own taxes, you probably know how hectic tax season can be. Every year between January and April, people frantically prepare their taxes in order to get them in by the April 15th. We hear about this all the time but to someone who hasn't filed taxes before, this whole process is probably a giant mystery.
The first thing you have to know is that people don't file their taxes in the same year that they made the money. You actually file taxes for this year's income next year. So if you made money in 2004, you would file those taxes in early 2005.
Every January or February, employers send all of their employees a W-4 form. This form tells the employees exactly how much they made last year and how much of their money was withheld for taxes. Once the individual has his or her W-4, they fill out federal income tax forms (a "1040") and this form tells the government how much money they have made from their job, investments, etc in order to determine how much the person should have paid in taxes.
Another important thing about the 1040 is that it lists the person's deductions. A deduction is something that allows a person to reduce their taxable income. For example, if you spent $3,000 of your income on a new computer for your business, the government doesn't expect you to pay taxes on that $3,000 so you are allowed to deduct it from your taxes. For example, if you made $45,000 last year and spent $3,000 on that computer, you are only expected to pay taxes on $42,000 of income.
Once you figure out how much your income was after deductions, the 1040 will tell you if you owe the IRS more money or if they owe you money. If, for some reason, you've paid more than you need to in taxes, the government will issue you a tax refund and you are allowed to keep that money.
Once you've completed your tax forms, you simply mail them in and patiently wait for that tax refund to come in the mail. And, of course, you relax for about nine months before having to worry about filing your taxes again.
So that's your introduction to paying your taxes. They're not fun but it's important to know about it. I strongly urge you to read the other articles in this section, especially the one on how you can save yourself money on your tax bill.
Friends of mine have just relocated from UK to VA. Is there a TurboTax product that can help them "translate" their UK taxes to US taxes?
The information here is absolutely magnificent! This will really help me out for my studieren an der universität work and that is the absolutel best thing for me right now. Cheers for doing this!
Hope this information help all people to know about the basics of income tax and the importance of paying correct tax amount every year. I think most of the people are not aware of it. Thanks for the share.

Ekphrasis /Coro
Ekphrasis (Continuo II) 19:12
Coro 59:44
Total Time 01:18:56
Digital Booklet - only with album
The renowned American architects Sullivan, Wright and Mies van der Rohe are the center of attention in the composition Ekphrasis [Continuo II], even though originally Berio had no such thing in mind: "While I was working on Continuo, it was not my intention to compose a metaphor for architecture, or write a homage to the famous Chicago architects... Neither did I refer directly to the amusing but nevertheless solid constructions by Renzo Piano... However, as the work progressed I became aware that this was exactly what had happened." (Berio) For all that, Berio did not aim at following a formal "architectural course" but at creating a "continuously ever-changing landscape of sound, formed out of a grid of recurring patterns" by way of an internal musical process. Coro (1975/76) once again puts the focus of the compositional material on folk music, but not in the same way as for instance in the Folksongs (1964), which were, essentially, original instrumentations. In Coro the composer rather dealt with "different folk music techniques and sound gestures from different cultures," which were "combined occasionally, without referring to specific songs in any way."
The master of nasal sounds: Matthias Arter has freed the oboe from the clutches of ordinary classical music and catapulted it into the 21st century.
Helmschrott breathes new life into an ancient, once-popular instrumental form, masterfully leading it in new musical directions with his 12 church sonatas.
"…as if the music had shed each of its shells and skins one after the other, to finally stand revealed in all its naked essence."


Like "Tree," BBDO Atlanta's latest effort takes the focus off of Toys R'Us products to tell an emotional story. This time around, one toy is prominently featured, an assuming RC Car which, as a gift, is more than it appears. The ad shows a young boy and his father celebrating the season by making a gingerbread house, decorating the tree, participating in a Christmas pageant and visiting Santa. Viewers may initially assume it is a story about a single father and his son, but the ending, in which the RC Car factors heavily, reveals otherwise. It's an emotional ending, but a twist we've seen before. Some viewers may appreciate the depiction, while others may find that ad pandering or manipulative. To combat such negative views, and as an extension of the campaign, Toys R' Us is partnering with the USO to "bring awesome moments of holiday cheer to millions of active servicemen and women across the country" through holiday programming in each of its centers nationwide.

'Coming 2 America' Is Back in First Sequel Trailer
Matt Singer Published: December 22, 2020
Prince Akeem is coming back to America.
In the long-awaited sequel Coming 2 America, Eddie Murphy, Arsenio Hall, and James Earl Jones all reprise their roles from the '80s classic. Decades after the events of Coming to America, James Earl Jones' King Jaffe is ill, and Murphy's Prince Akeem is about to become the king of Zamunda, when he learns of an heir he left behind in the United States. He and Hall's Semmi return to New York City to locate his son.
Originally intended for theaters, Coming 2 America was recently sold to Amazon, who is going to stream the film exclusively on its Prime Video service. The film, directed Craig Brewer, also features Murphy and Hall doing all kinds of additional characters beneath impressive prosthetic makeup, just like in the original Coming to America. A bunch of them are featured in the film's first trailer, which just premiered online:
If the characters in the barbershop look familiar, they should...
Here's the film's official synopsis:
Set in the lush and royal country of Zamunda, newly-crowned King Akeem (Eddie Murphy) and his trusted confidante Semmi(Arsenio Hall) embark on an all-new hilarious adventure that has them traversing the globe from their great African nation to the borough of Queens, New York – where it all began.
Coming 2 America will be available on Amazon Prime Video on March 5, 2021.

Q: Rails URL with custom identifier (not id) I'm creating a Rails app for managing individual items. Each item has an item number (zero padded, 4 digit number, e.g. 0002 or 0212 or 1002), which I would like to use in the urls for the application. If I currently navigate to /items/2 I get the item with id = 2 and not the item with item_number = 2. My routes.rb file contains only resources :items; how would I go about allowing for this to pull out the items by item number?

A: Override the to_param method in your Item model:
def to_param
    item_number.to_s
end

You don't have to change anything in your routes.
You'll just have to find the items using find_by_item_number(params[:id])

Just so you know: if you wanted to display the name of the item in the url, you could do the following:
def to_param
    "#{id}-#{name}".parameterize
end

What's great about that, is that "1-item-name".to_i is 1! So you would not have to change your find methods everywhere.

A: Normally, the item_path helper (that you get for free by defining resources :items) uses the item's id to construct the url:
item = Item.find(1)
item_path(item) # => "/items/1", i.e. the same result as calling item_path(item.id)

It does this "magic" by calling the to_param instance method on the Item class, which by default returns the item's id.
So if you want something else, you have to override the to_param method. In your case, you could do something like this:
class Item < ActiveRecord::Base
  def to_param
    item_number
  end
end

And then:
item = Item.find_by_item_id('0001')
item_path(item) # => "/users/0001"

Q: Adding an attribute to datatables column filtering I am using datatables JQuery plugin to display the data from my database. I want to do something custom which is not supported by datatables and I came up with a solution that requires me to use AngularJS.
The problem is that I do not know how to add a new attribute in the search filter of datatables. A solution I found after a search on google was to add the following line but I does not seem to work:
$('.dataTables_filter input').attr("placeholder", "enter seach terms here");
Does anyone here have any other solution?

A: The code you provided is working. So , the only thing i suspect being wrong is the invocation of the code.
You need to call it either after the datatable is loaded in document.ready like ,
$(document).ready(function() {
   $('#example').dataTable({"sPaginationType": "full_numbers",});
   $('.dataTables_filter input').prop("placeholder", "enter search terms here");
});

Or, you can use the fnDrawCallback function which is invoked every-time datatable is loaded.
 $('#example').dataTable({"sPaginationType": "full_numbers","fnDrawCallback": function( oSettings ) {
       $('.dataTables_filter input').prop("placeholder", "enter seach terms here");
    }});

And, here is the Working JsFiddle Demo.

Q: My DB class wont connect, throws exception "No database selected" I have my 'dbinterface' class with a connect function. When i run this i get a statement saying "Query didn't work. No database selected"
class dbinterface {

        private $_dbLink;
    private $dbHost = 'host';
        private $dbUser = 'user';
        private $dbName = 'name';
        private $dbPass = 'pass';
        private $dbUserTable = 'table';

     public function connect ()
    {
        $this->_dbLink = mysql_connect($this->_dbHost, $this->_dbUser, $this->_dbPass);
        if(!$this->_dbLink)
            throw new Exception ("Could not connect to database. " . mysql_error());
    }

I made a change to the public connect function.
public function connect ()
    {
        $this->dbLink = mysql_connect($this->dbHost, $this->dbUser, $this->dbPass);
        mysql_select_db($this->dbUserTable);
        if(!$this->dbLink)
            throw new Exception ("Could not connect to database. " . mysql_error());
    }

Unfortunately it output the same result. I am new to PHP and still learning, i have tried everything i know so ANY help is very much appreciated.

A: Unless you use an absolute schema.table type reference in your queries, you HAVE to specify a default database with mysql_select_db(). Without that,
SELECT somefield FROM sometable

fails with "no database selected" because MySQL doesn't know WHICH database it should look in for that table.
This would work, however:
SELECT somefield FROM name_of_db.name_of_table

without a default database, as you've explicitly stated you're using the "name_of_db" database.


Last week marked the four-year anniversary of the Supreme Court ruling that validated Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID). At the time, many euthanasiasts confidently predicted there would be no "slippery slope" toward abuses. Since the procedure was being justified on the basis of self-determination, "consent," it was strenuously affirmed, would be de rigueur.
Audrey Parker, a Halifax woman with terminal cancer who was assisted to death on Nov. 1, weeks earlier than she wished, left a video, released last week by Dying with Dignity Canada. In it, she said she would have preferred to stay alive until Christmas, but worried that her cancer, creeping to the lining of her brain, would render her unfit by then to invoke MAID. She asked for a "Parker's amendment" to the law, allowing for a proxy to facilitate a previously sworn request in such circumstances.
CPL and other advocacy groups had hoped that Premier Doug Ford's new administration would end the political shunning they were accustomed to under the Liberals, especially since in November, the province of Ontario dropped its intervention on CPSO's behalf in a court case brought against the association by five doctors of conscience. But at the Nov. 16-18 Ontario PC party Toronto convention, Ford's promise to legislate conscience rights did not make it through the policy committee.
The five physicians' case was heard at the Court of Appeal on Jan. 21-22, with judgment pending. If they lose, as is likely, they are determined to take it to the Supreme Court.
In fact the state is already doing that. In January 2017, the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) produced a report, "Cost analysis of medical assistance in dying in Canada." It concludes: "Providing medical assistance in dying in Canada should not result in any excess financial burden to the health-care system, and could result in substantial savings." Substantial savings, eh? Well, there's a disincentive to expand funding for desperately needed palliative-care research and broadening of mandate if ever I heard one.


This recipe makes 20 to 24 mini cheesecakes.
In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and brown sugar and whisk together until combined. Add the melted butter and mix well.
Place cupcake cups on a baking sheet and press a spoonful of graham cracker crust into the bottom of each cup. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese and lemon juice for one minute. Next, add the heavy cream and sugar and beat on low until incorporated. Increase the speed to medium-high and continue to beat the mixture until it turns smooth.
Scoop a heaping tablespoon of cheesecake filling into each cup and spread it evenly with the back of a spoon. Chill for at least 6 to 8 hours and keep in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to four days.
For your next party, create a cheesecake bar with assorted toppings like crushed sandwich cookies, chopped candy bars, or sprinkles. It's a fun way for guests to customize their cheesecakes without added work for the host!


Disease Information: Cerebellar Ataxia (CA) in the Finnish Hound is early on-set and is usually diagnosed between 7-12 weeks of age. Affected pups show a lack of coordination, difficulty balancing and walking, and tremor. Disease progression is fast, and pups are normally humanely euthanized before 6 months of age.
Inheritance Information: Cerebellar Ataxia is autosomal recessive, meaning that animals with two copies of this allele will be affected. Animals with one copy of the gene will be clinically-normal carriers.
N/N The dog is normal, and cannot produce affected offspring.
N/ca The dog is a carrier, and can pass the allele on to approximately 50% of any offspring. If bred to another N/ca carrier, approximately 25% of the offspring will be normal, 50% will be carriers, and 25% will be affected.
ca/ca The dog is affected. If bred to a normal animal, 100% of the offspring will be carriers. If bred to an N/ca carrier, 50% of the offspring will be carriers and 50% will be affected.
– Carriers may be bred to normal animals (N/ca x N/N) without any risk of producing affected offspring. The offspring should be tested before breeding to determine if they are carriers or normal.
– Breeding two carriers (N/ca x N/ca) is not recommended due to the possibility of 25% of the offspring being affected.
– Affected animals (ca/ca) should not be used for breeding.
Test Information: This mutation test identifies a single base change the SEL1L gene.

Judge Anna von Reitz: Clarification–What We Have Done/Answers for Tom–And The Rest of The World Too
Posted on February 6, 2016 by Ramola D | Leave a comment
Re-posted, with many thanks, from these two posts at Paulstramer.net: Wed, Feb 3: Clarification — What We Have Done from Anna Von Reitz and Mon, Feb 1: Answers for Tom–and the Rest of the World, Too.
Posting these two articles together since they seem to address the same subject, and offer further clarification re. what has transpired with recent postings of liens, rebuttals, claims, and insight into current status in the efforts underway to restore the USA covered in these recent posts (& others):
Posted Here Jan 31, 2016: Judge Anna von Reitz: (Jan 21) Letter to General Dunford, American Armed Forces and Board of Governors & Directors, World Bank/IBRD/IMF Re. Final Notice of Commercial Obligation Lien
Jan 23, 2016: Judge Anna von Reitz: Notice to Pope Francis, the UN Security Council, Congress, and The World— Round Seven: Karen Hudes/World Bank/IBRD/IMF: There Is No "Interregnum"

Feb 3, 2016: Judge Anna von Reitz Vs Karen Hudes: The Banks Running the Govt. Services Corporations, including the Federal Reserve…IMF…World Bank and IBRD, Have Operated as Criminal Syndicates And Must Be Liquidated
Excerpts (Full articles below):
From Clarification: For now, we have saved The Constitution for the united States of America. The rats sought to "vacate" the contract by entering the UNITED STATES, INC. into bankruptcy without naming a successor to contract. That left the "federal" side of the contract vacant and flapping in the wind. We formed an agreement with the American Native Nations — the Athabasca and Lakota– to fulfill the federal side. We issued two sets of Sovereign Letters Patent, one to reaffirm the united States of America, and one to establish a new arrangement with the Native people to bring them out of their POW status and incarceration in the Jurisdiction of the Sea and put them back on the land as free, sovereign, and independent people. We then sealed this arrangement with a Declaration of Joint Sovereignty, spelling out the intent of our actions. These actions were sent by Registered Mail to the Pope, the Queen, the UN Security Council, the United Nations Secretary General and others.
From Answers: I hate to tell everyone in America that they have been outrageously swindled by institutions they trusted—by banks, by what they thought was their government, by law firms and judges they trusted— but such is the case. Because nobody was minding the store after the Civil War, thieves settled in and milked us in ever-increasingly terrible acts of fraud and enslavement and oppression— and now that the whole fraud is discovered and falling apart, these criminals have offered their "Final Solution"—- kill their creditors. Just like they killed off the hapless Jewish people in Germany. They took out million dollar life insurance policies on each and every one of us Americans, on Germans, on Japanese, on Aussies, on Canadians. They figure that if they kill off six and a half billion creditors, they can save themselves and have the whole planet to themselves.
We have a better solution. We intercept their plans and we tell everyone worldwide what these unspeakable vermin have planned and intended to do, simply because they don't want to pay back what they owe to all the rest of us.
Wed, Feb 3, 2016: Clarification — What We Have Done, from Anna von Reitz
I am not a legal counsel for the General (Dunford). We are all working on reclaiming American assets for Americans. For right now, it's improper to call what we are doing a "New Republic"— that will require a public education process, each one making their political status (citizenship, etc.) choices, the election of Fiduciary Deputies from each State to attend a Continental Congress to either amend or abolish the existing actual Constitution.
For now, we have saved The Constitution for the united States of America. The rats sought to "vacate" the contract by entering the UNITED STATES, INC. into bankruptcy without naming a successor to contract. That left the "federal" side of the contract vacant and flapping in the wind. We formed an agreement with the American Native Nations — the Athabasca and Lakota– to fulfill the federal side. We issued two sets of Sovereign Letters Patent, one to reaffirm the united States of America, and one to establish a new arrangement with the Native people to bring them out of their POW status and incarceration in the Jurisdiction of the Sea and put them back on the land as free, sovereign, and independent people. We then sealed this arrangement with a Declaration of Joint Sovereignty, spelling out the intent of our actions. These actions were sent by Registered Mail to the Pope, the Queen, the UN Security Council, the United Nations Secretary General and others.
For the first time since the original Constitution was adopted, the federal side of the contract is now in the hands of Americans devoted to America— not British (Federal Reserve) or French (IMF) interlopers. For the first time, the Federal Agents have a vested interest in truly and honestly protecting America and Americans, because if they hurt or plunder us, they hurt and plunder themselves.
And now we are all going after the assets that are owed to Americans which have been purloined by international banks and the "governmental services corporations" they have run as storefronts —under conditions of gross fraud and deceit.
Please note there is no "statute of limitation" on the crime of fraud, much less malicious fraud tort claims.
Answers for Tom— and the Rest of the World, Too. by Anna Von Reitz
ANSWERS FOR TOM:
1) A few years back I wrote a series of replies concerning the argument that "US citizens are not protected under the Constitution and Bill of Rights because they were not signatories to the documents" or similarly that "the documents only apply to Federal employees and to Washington DC and its territories only".
My reply was that every American should SIGN these documents and notarize them and then file such with a County Clerk or other registered authority. This provides a clear statement of jurisdiction and the fact that one has decided to be under "Land Law" and not Admiralty Law. This would in essence negate any and all Federal or corporate law as being binding on that individual.
To date I have not found anyone who can confirm or negate this assertion or are even willing to respond.
The Declaration of Independence is the most important document of our Organic Law so far as the living people are concerned. The function of The Declaration of Independence is that of a Last Will and Testament made for the Future Generations of Mankind by the Testators–the Founding Fathers who in pledging their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor made their bequest to all future generations of Americans, and it must be more fully appreciated, to all Mankind.
The Declaration is the embodiment of our national trust, our inheritance, and our founding document. It remains the form and foundation of our National Will, which we pass on in turn to our children and all those who are born on our shores and to all those people wheresoever they may be, who are willing to pledge their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to the same cause of freedom and justice for all people everywhere, now, and in the future.
You don't have to be an American and you don't have to be born on our soil to claim The Declaration of Independence as your birthright: The Declaration of Independence stands for all Mankind, throughout all Time. We continue to give its words meaning and we continue to pass it on to an ever-widening progeny of people all over the world who have taken it into their hearts and lived it with their lives and who strive to pass this most important of all inheritances on to their children.
The Constitution is by comparison a trivial document. The Constitution is a tri-lateral treaty of interesting form, also a simple trust indenture binding the new "federal government" entity to guard and respect our national trust, guarantee our Bill of Rights, and other than that, it is a commercial services agreement that sets up the organizational management structure to deliver those nineteen enumerated services all of which are functions to be undertaken in the international jurisdiction of the sea and under the international Law of the Sea.
When Federales call the Constitution "The Supreme Law of the Land" they are looking at it from their perspective–that is, as people who do their duties in the jurisdiction of the sea and who have to respect the agreements of the Constitution when they go ashore on the jurisdiction of the land. The Constitution is their supreme law with respect to us and their interactions with us, not any "supreme law" over us. Similarly, the United States Supreme Court is their supreme court, not ours. The United States Congress is their legislative body, not ours. Ours top legislative body is the Continental Congress—when and if we elect Deputies and seat one.
The Constitution is a treaty and commercial service agreement between the united States of America and the so-called Federal Government created as a result of the agreement—not the people. Except for the Preamble and Bill of Rights, the people have no part in it. The people are not signatories to The Constitution— the delegates who signed it were all functioning as Fiduciary Deputies for their respective colonies doing business as the united States of America and the focus of the document is so entirely on the business of setting up international representation in the jurisdiction of the sea that it barely mentions the pre-existing Common Law Court System owed to the people— just a passing nod in Article I and Article 6, and a single direct and explicit directive in Amendment VII.
Many American have grown up with the completely silly idea that The Constitution is the source of their rights, when in fact The Constitution merely recognizes and guarantees pre-existing rights claimed and delivered by The Declaration of Independence. The Constitution limits the Federal Government, not the people.
Many have also grown up with the idea that the Federal Government created by The Constitution is our government, when in fact it is not our government and never has been. The Federal Government is an association of sovereign nation states acting together in mutual self-interest with regard to the nineteen enumerated powers delegated to it–and it has never been a sovereign government with respect to us at all. Our sovereign government is vested in the organic states and the people. That thing in Washington, DC, is under obligation to protect our national trust, to respect the treaties created under The Constitution, and to provide nineteen enumerated services all in the international jurisdiction of the sea and under the Law of the Sea. Period. Put bluntly, the Federal Government works for us under contract. It's our employee, and it has abused its position of trust to commit credit fraud and identity theft against its employers and benefactors.
Signing onto the Constitution would just commit us each as parties to the contract, and our Forefathers purposefully ordained that we should NOT be parties to that contract, so as to not be bound to it and enslaved by it. Only states are bound by treaties and obligated to pay the public debts. We retain subrogated rights through the united States of America, and the actual united States of America are the entities that need to be operated on the land jurisdiction and used to ensure enforcement.
Having covered all this you are prepared to understand that the United States Statutes-at-Large provide the only process by which anyone born on the land of one of the organic states of the Union can ever become a Federal United States Citizen. This process set down in 1804 has numerous requirements including filings and notices and a two year waiting period. It is literally impossible for any American to actually vacate their birthright status without performing this duty— which voids all claims that we ever did or ever could trade our birthright for a bowl of porridge.
Our own United States Statutes-at-Large adequately protect us from false claims against our true political status despite the best attempts of the perpetrators to deceive the other nations of the world and continue their campaign of Breach of Trust, Mischaracterization, Press-Ganging, Inland Piracy, Identity Theft, Credit Fraud, Unlawful Conversion, Kidnapping, Loan Fraud, Securities Fraud, Currency Fraud, Copyright Theft, and more against us.
We can also formally "Expatriate" from any presumption of foreign political status— but our position is that we never were and never could be removed from the land jurisdiction of our nation by any fraudulent action undertaken by a private corporate Board of Directors secretively occupying vacant Public Offices and abusing them for private gain.
Please help spread the word throughout the world that we have been the victims of identity theft and credit fraud, undisclosed enslavement, probate fraud, and numerous other crimes and that the same loathsome practices have similarly been applied to other innocent nations worldwide including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the EU, Japan, and more. Every nation on Earth has been victimized by the scourge of these criminal banks and their henchmen, the members of the Bar Associations working as the "Enforcers" of this malicious fraud scheme.
Please also help spread the word that The Declaration of Independence belongs to all Mankind, not just Americans. We welcome our brothers and sisters throughout the world to embrace our heritage and fulfill our pledge to our sons and daughters to their sons and daughters, too.
2) Your recent article on the TRUE REVALUATION of the Dollar is for the most part correct but it stops short of valuing the Dollar in the US only. 80% of all Dollars are OVERSEAS with NO backing. These and all currencies are backed by the Collateral Accounts and agreements that gave rise to the Treaty of Versailles and the Historical Boxes issued by the FEDs in the 30's and all the fraud that surrounds such a mess.
Currently I am fighting the lodging of USD in T's into the Malaysian Central Bank in exchange for local currency. This will leave the Central Bank holding what may be toilet paper and a bunch of greedy politicians, bank official and lawyers with real cash and all indebted to the Holder of the bulk of the funds for financing national projects. Basically this is a scam with big pigs at the trough.
My question is what do you really think will happen to all those Overseas Dollars in a revaluation? Particularly since these were not created by the US or by trade, but often through rollover programs and other bank interest outside of the US and often through fraudulent or illegal activities. This also involves derivatives and other market manipulations.
I feel that there will be a lot of "Zeros" written off and the separation of domestic banking from bank fraudulent gambling. I am not for throwing banksters in jail but permanent retirement from the banking industry is a must. They can get jobs at McD's.
We are in the process of repudiating the odious debt compiled by the IMF and its minions against our credit, and tracking down the American Assets that Secondary Creditors have falsely claimed as "abandoned property"—such as the American portion of the gold reserves being held by the World Bank/IBRD.
Our actual dollar— the only real dollar there is — the United States Silver Dollar issued by the Republic will be backed, but not one penny-worth of our assets or credit will go to back any private script of any kind issued by any bank anywhere on Earth. That includes "United States Treasury Notes" and the rest of the "Federal Reserve Notes" that are floating around everywhere— we won't be buying any of that foreign currency back and we don't suggest that anyone else take any wooden nickels, either. Here's the situation:
In a debt-credit system, as you know, you can't have a debt without an equal credit being created. So how did we wind up with an $18 trillion dollar "National Debt"? Where's the "National Credit" that goes with the debt? Answer: we paid it all as it accrued with our goods and labor, and that National Credit should have been applied to the National Debt. Instead, the criminal banks and the bogus "Treasury Department" siphoned off the National Credit owed to us into their own pockets and simply never paid the debts we thought in good faith that we were paying.
We gave them the labor, the assets, and the resources to pay all our debts plus interest and they just sat there, year after year, letting the debt side of the transactions pile up against the victims. It would be like collecting someone's rent money for years, never paying the landlord, and then pretending that the victim was a deadbeat who still owed the rent when the landlord came to town for an accounting. So the rats owe us $18 plus trillion dollars and they left town, filed for bankruptcy protection for themselves, and left us holding the bag.
Number 1: They did all this with criminal intention and via fraud and malicious, purposeful deceit, including copyright fraud against our given names. They deserve no bankruptcy protection, and they deserve no protection from any "corporate veil". Consider the corporate veil already pierced and picture the outraged American people as well as all the angry creditors–like China– who haven't been paid by these rats on the other side of the swindle, coming to dinner and going after all these criminal banks and their "governmental services corporations" and the people behind all this crappola.
Number 2: If they didn't make enough profit after stealing us blind for a hundred years to pay their lawful debts including the debts they owe our creditors, that's a problem for them, not for us.
Here's another part of the swindle. The perpetrators gave themselves a fixed exchange rate for their "Federal Reserve Notes" against our actual United States Dollars defined as an ounce of fine silver—-one of their worthless I.O.U.'s in exchange for an ounce of fine silver. In this way they quietly emptied out Fort Knox of all our gold and silver reserves in "equitable exchange" for paper they printed using our credit, and then charged us interest for the "loan" of their private bank script. This was only possible because the American people were kept in the dark and trusted what they believed to be their own government.
Number 3: We repeat — if they didn't make enough profit from this outrageous currency swindle to pay all their lawful debts plus treble damages to the victims, that's a problem for them, not for us. They stole our gold and silver and hoarded it and now plan to sell it back to the people they stole it from at 5000% or better profit margins. Either that, or all the people who have been harmed by their criminality demand that these banks be liquidated and these banker's private fortunes be seized and used to repay the victims. Please note– we were not the only ones who suffered outright theft of large gold and silver reserves. Almost every nation on this planet suffered the same.
In addition to the exchange rate swindle, we also suffered confiscation of privately held gold in the 1930's. King Rat Franklin Delano Roosevelt gave our gold to the Federal Reserve Banks to hold as collateral backing their phony version of "United States Dollar" used in international trade. For over 80 years our gold sat in their vaults and was used as collateral benefiting them and when the bankruptcy was finally over in 1999— were we notified as the Priority Creditors and known Heirs of the Priority Creditors to come reclaim our assets? The titles to our land and homes that had been used as collateral backing the debts of the United States of America, Inc. bankrupted by FDR? The gold stolen by jack-booted FBI and Revenue Agents from our Grandmothers and Grandfathers? We were not told a word, not notified at all. Instead, the World Bank/IBRD came forward as Secondary Creditors and claimed our gold as "abandoned assets" belonging to "unknown heirs".
All these banks can find every one of us right smart quick when they have a tax bill or a fee-bearing charge to make against the "persons" they created as franchises benefitting their governmental services corporations and named after us by stealing and copyrighting our given names, but when it came time to pay us the receipts of all the escrow accounts related to the bogus "mortgages" they sold us, they couldn't find us. They didn't even know who we are or where we lived. And they didn't know where to return all the land titles they seized and placed on our property under color of law back in the 1930's, nor did they know where the confiscated gold needed to go, either. So they just seized it all as "abandoned assets" belonging to "unknown heirs" and got ready to sell our property and our inheritance off to the highest bidder to profit themselves some more.
Now they have set up a "Drop Box" and called it the "Global Debt Facility" and put Karen Hudes and the 188 members of the Board of Governors of the World Bank (one of the perpetrators) in charge of getting rid of the stolen loot. They have had the brass cajones to try to pass themselves off as great philanthropists for offering to give our assets and the assets of other victims away, but sorry, nobody is buying it anymore.
Number 4: While the "Federal Reserve" was busy committing all this crime against us and the "IMF" was colluding with the Federal Reserve to pull all this off, and other banks like the World Bank and IBRD and HSB and Bank of Scotland and lots of others were busy getting their fingers extremely dirty, the Priority Creditors didn't come forward because they were never told a word about any of this. God does work in mysterious ways. Not all Americans are crooks and not all were asleep. So a few — a very few — claimed back the assets owed to all Americans. Think of it as a Class Action in Commerce.
I hate to tell everyone in America that they have been outrageously swindled by institutions they trusted—by banks, by what they thought was their government, by law firms and judges they trusted— but such is the case. Because nobody was minding the store after the Civil War, thieves settled in and milked us in ever-increasingly terrible acts of fraud and enslavement and oppression— and now that the whole fraud is discovered and falling apart, these criminals have offered their "Final Solution"—- kill their creditors. Just like they killed off the hapless Jewish people in Germany. They took out million dollar life insurance policies on each and every one of us Americans, on Germans, on Japanese, on Aussies, on Canadians. They figure that if they kill off six and a half billion creditors, they can save themselves and have the whole planet to themselves.
Still think that a job at McD's is an appropriate punishment for what these people have done? Bear in mind that they think they are smart and that the rest of us are just dumb animals, here to serve them and be sacrificed as needed. Bear in mind that they are completely unrepentant, even now, when the guillotines they purchased to use on others are being prepared for them, they remain cocky and arrogant, confident that they are going to live to collect on our life insurance policies and the assets of the public transmitting utilities they recently named after us—-which they call "derivatives".
You give the government of Malaysia a message for us—- help us nail these rats to the wall and seize their assets and liquidate their banks and their private fortunes and their foundation shelters—-nail them before they murder billions of innocent people they owe money to— and we will be happy to settle all legitimate debts that any American may have and we will pay those debts in gold or silver or other mutually acceptable commodities having actual value and we will back any script we issue with actual value, too.
And please, give our best to Neil Keenan, too.

I can paint a picture of what it is like up on that canvas above the crowd, lights targeting me and my opponent….but you won't really know unless you go. It will just be an idea, an imagination of yours based upon experiences that you are searching for the relativity.
I can describe in wordy detail the feeling in my guts, my mind, my heart as I lean down to achieve the weight I need to be when I step on the scale the night before but again, you won't really know unless you go.
We all have something that is uniquely our experience and we all have something that only a select group of people can know. This is where we are the same.
Up in the Copper River Valley, surrounded by trees that decided to stop reaching for the sky in what seems like a 1/4 of the way is Mt. Drum overlooking a harsh reality of snow, ice and desolation. It is magnificent. A place that demands subsistence living exist in some fashion and a dichotomy of cultural heritage vs. youthful technology. My breath billows out visibly in "The Below" A series of temperatures south of zero.
5 years ago, Coach Jen and I had a long term vision to extend Arcaro beyond the walls of the Central Area but we didn't know how it would be. Because of an unquenched thirst for learning, I was connected to Naudi Aguilar and Functional Patterns. Through a series of serendipitous events I connected with the Athabascan people, Yvonne Ito and Copper River Native Association. Just last week, those worlds merged. I've been practicing FP, but I had no idea the impact it would have in boxing, my coaching, my life and now the lives of those in the middle of nowhere. I had to go to know.
I've seen single handedly the way this training changes bodies…..most dramatically, Greg Cruz, our pro boxer. He's gone from a forward hipped, rounded shouldered guy to a full fledged confident and devastating boxer. I've felt my inner anxiety, dissipate and disappear as I unravel fascial adhesions and create new connections. I've initiated the ability for people's back pain to disappear.
I witnessed a side-eyed, untrusting tribal people, welcome us fully as we shared with them our experience in self-myofascial release and glimpses of FP corrective techniques. I watched people hanging on to pain for years, let go and get curious and excited about what they could accomplish.
We do this work daily at the gym…..we box for expression, we fix what ails us through FP and punching. We are a wide reaching community that will always #BoxOn!

The vision for Arcaro is being realized and extended! And, we are all a part of that! My experience as a still somewhat new boxer, is that training changes bodies, and boxing changes minds. That is a "wow" in my experience! What a great community!
