In your opinion. I personally think its perfect for the song.
I, for one, care about Love Profusion hitting #52 in Macau. Such resilience. Goes to show the underrated artistry of American Life.
My legacy is that I stayed on course… from the beginning to the end, because I believed in something inside of me. — Tina Turner
BTW, Take A Bow has seen an uptick in streams in Suriname entering at #32 on Apple Music charts while Vogue is seeing a resurgence in Chile and Uruguay on Tik Tok. Would be great if it went viral. Such a revolutionary song that changed the world.

OMG. How can you not like her Santa Baby? I think it's the best version. I said it before, it bears repeating....
It gets a lot of airplay every season. I rebuy it every year. It's for charity.
Happy Holidays!
Madonna, The Holy Queen of Music!

She should release a Christmas remix of Holiday.
That would be very interesting, actually! Holiday is a very well known classic hit, I'm pretty sure it would pop up every Christmas if this happens!

Yes. I'm fine with either Dear Jessie or Holiday to be pushed during Holiday Season (why not both). Both Like a Prayer and Madonna (the album) would benefit a lot. They're two of my favorite Madonna albums. Santa Baby isn't even part of an studio album of hers.

She's always trending on Twitter, basically. Very rarely for a good reason LOL The loud majority hates her over there.
Anyway... how many remixes of Everybody do we still have? I thought the 7" and the You Can Dance edits were all.
I meant only Everybody the song. We have the Album Version (6:02), YCD Remix (6:43), YCD Remix Edit (4:36), Celebration (4:10), 7" Version (3:57) and Instrumental (4:14).
I just checked the Wiki page and I guess we don't have these:
"Everybody" (Extended Version) – 5:56
"Everybody" (Remix) – 6:16
"Everybody" (7" Remix) – 3:20
"Everybody" (Dub Version) – 8:58
"Everybody" (LP Version) – 4:55
The Dub Version they might choose just one, but that's a lot I just wished they had released all at once.
Im pretty sure that Everybody release is just for the Black Friday Record Store Day its the same day as the 25th. I guess maybe they will also release it on streaming but who knows

I have a bad feeling about this.
I don't see why we'd get Gambler. Obviously we desperately need it adding to streaming, but that should be held off and kept until Madonna re-issues Like a Virgin, and re-issued on picture disc as the lead-in single to the era. I am convinced there's a whole load of fans and casual fans that have never heard it, seeing as it hasn't been commercially available since 1985.
What was Santa Baby's 2021 daily peak, do we know?

Isnt the 40th version on streaming the 7in? This release is the 12in. Is that the same thing?

Why did we do fieldwork?
We hope that surveying the physical character of footpaths and green lanes will help us to understand more about their history and development.
Very old lanes and paths are often characterised as being deeply sunken or eroded, with species rich hedges and distinctive flora like bluebells, primroses and dogs mercury. On the other hand, unbounded footpaths are not always so clearly physically defined. How does this relate to the history and development of green lanes and footpaths?
Volunteers from across Norfolk have helped us carry out a survey of green lanes and footpaths in the county.
- Are there hedges and ditches?
- Is the path or lane sunken?
- How wide is the path or lane?
- Are there any large trees?
- Is there any distinctive vegetation?
- Does the path or lane have a name (either shown on the map, or a local name)?
You can download a copy of the recording form below.
How many footpaths/lanes can I survey?
You can survey as many, or as few, as you like.
Where can I find recording forms and maps?
You can download forms from this website, or contact us if you require printed copies of the forms. Please contact the project team if you need a map of your area.
Do I have to use a separate form for each footpath?
Yes please – this will make it much easier to process the results. The form asks for the start and end point of the path as a grid reference, or you can mark it clearly on a map.
If you are able to take digital photographs, then please do – email them to the project team. You will retain the copyright on your photographs, and we will not use them without your permission.
How can I find out if anyone has already surveyed the paths in my area?
Contact the project team before starting your survey – we will be able to tell you whether any work has already been carried out.
Can I survey footpaths anywhere in Norfolk?
Of course – you don't have to stick to your own village or area, but please check with the project team to find out whether any survey work has already been carried out.
Should I record the access arrangements and state of footpaths?
If you wish to do so for your own use, then you can, but current state and access are not a key part of this project.
What should I do if I cannot access a footpath or green lane?
Please do not worry if you cannot gain access to a particular footpath or green lane, or feel uncomfortable about following a path that is not clear on the ground. Please let the project team know for our records.
Should I survey tracks and paths which are not public rights of way?
No – we are only asked volunteers to survey public rights of way, as shown on the modern Ordnance Survey maps. Please do not attempt to survey tracks or paths which are not public rights of way.
Which species of flora should I try and identify?
We are interested in the following - bluebells, dogs mercury, Barren Strawberry, wild garlic, wood anemone, wood avens, primroses and yellow archangel. We are not recording common plants and flowers, like cow parsley.
Dog's Mercury - often used as an 'indicator species' to detect areas of former ancient woodland. Photograph by Ken Hawkins.
I'm not sure how to identify different species – what should I do?
You don't have to record these if you don't want to – at some times of year it may be difficult to do so anyway! If you want to know more, then have a look at our guidance notes, or contact the project team.

DESCRIPTION OF ATTACK FROM WITHIN
When Pete Martin comes home from Vietnam, where he served as a Navy corpsman out with the Marines, he can barely remember his last mission. He knows his general discharge won't satisfy his pa, a WWII veteran with a trigger temper, but he can't explain what he doesn't recall. Although Lee, Pete's best friend, tries to intervene, Pa attacks. Pete retreats to Lee's apartment to recover and then decides to leave Tennessee.
In Detroit, Pete finds work in construction, but during his first day, his money disappears. Without food or money, he accepts help from a drug dealer named Vic. Pete moves into Vic's house, which he shares with a mixed group of inner city folks. Comfortable in that setting, Pete doesn't see the danger.
When Pete tries to protect his friend Vic from an enforcer, he's drawn into the underworld of drugs. And while trying to impress a girl, he volunteers at a free clinic and works there throughout the deadly '67 riots. When the violence brings up memories and flashbacks to Vietnam, Pete struggles to remember what happened that last mission. But his loyalty to housemates drags him deeper into danger.
A drug war forces Pete to return to Tennessee, but it's not until he returns to San Diego that he uncovers all the pieces of his past. Helped by his wartime buddies, his girlfriend, and a WWII survivor turned therapist, Pete finally grapples with his inner demons and is able to focus on the future.
Attack from Within follows Saving Superman, a story of Pete's early years and winner of IRDA Approved Sticker, Pinnacle Book Achievement Award, and 5 star reviews. This sequel features fast-paced action as it unravels a wartime mystery. But the insight it provides into the mind of a survivor is what makes this story gutsy and inspiring.

Under-25s urged to get recommended vaccines
Students returning to universities and colleges should make sure they have been vaccinated against mumps, measles and meningitis C, health experts have said.
Figures for 2009 show that mumps cases were higher than the previous year, with the largest proportion of cases affecting 20 to 24-year-olds.
A total of 895 cases of the disease were recorded in London alone last year, compared to just 446 cases in 2008.
Viral illnesses such as mumps and measles can spread rapidly in halls of residence if students have not been vaccinated, according to Dr Brian McCloskey, London director of the Health Protection Agency.
He revealed: 'Going away to university is great for young people's social lives but is also ideal for any bugs they may be carrying.
'Students who may not have received some routine vaccinations when they were children will be susceptible to falling ill when they arrive at university.'
Anyone who has not received the full two doses of the MMR vaccine (which protects against mumps, measles and rubella) should make an appointment with their GP, Dr McCloskey said.
The expert also advised under-25s to phone their GP to check whether they have received the meningitis C vaccine.
Children now receive three doses of the meningitis C vaccine - at three months, four months and 12 months of age.
Under-25s who have not had the vaccine are also entitled to receive it.
Britons urged to get flu vaccine

Syde, often in the past spelt Side, is a small village and civil parish in Gloucestershire, England. It lies in the Cotswolds, near the source of the River Frome, some six miles north west of Cirencester and seven miles east of Painswick.

There is a Church of England parish church called St Mary's.

The principal house is Syde Manor, a listed building which dates from the 16th and 17th centuries, built of stone rubble with a Cotswold stone roof and gables. Some of its mullioned windows have unusual three-centred arches at their heads. The front of the house which has the main entrance was added in the late 18th or early 19th century.

History
The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868) says of Side (as it spelt the name):

John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales (1870-1872) says:

Governance
Because of its small population, Syde has a parish meeting, at which all electors can attend and vote, rather than a parish council. It forms part of the Ermin ward of Cotswold District, which together with Gloucestershire County Council provides all local government services.

The parish is part of the parliamentary constituency of Cotswold, represented in parliament by the Conservative Geoffrey Clifton-Brown.

Do you want to be ranked higher in Google? Well, you've come to the right place. You will learn the secrets on how to write SEO content that will give your website better visibility in search engines.
Writing an SEO text is simple. Good SEO content is the one that gives the best answers to a user's question or search.
Optimizing the technical elements helps a little, but it is not essential and it is not, by far, as important as making content that people likes.
Now, how should you write an article? What do we have to know to write a correct text at SEO level?
3 How do we write a text for users?
Do not worry, we're not going to go into technical things: it's common sense applied, like everything in SEO.
A keyword is the term or set of terms that people use when they search in Google or any other search engine.
With this basic definition, you can already get an idea of the extraordinary importance they have. In fact, the vast majority of visits on the Internet pages are made through them, since there are very few users who, nowadays, type in the URL (web domain) directly.
Generally an article has to be written around a keyword or topic that is going to be searched for.
That is why it is important that you know that it does not matter if you hesitate between "car rental", "cars for rent" or "rent a car". The important thing is what lies behind. If the user's intention corresponds to the purpose of your content, any of the options will be correct.
Do you know what people are looking for? As in principle you have no idea. You should always use tools like Übersuggest to give you search ideas, and Google Keyword Planner, Keywords Everywhere or SemRush to tell you the search volume of each of them.
When you have identified several that look good, do the searches yourself on Google and see which one has the strongest competition.
At first glance you can identify it by seeing if they are powerful websites or not (its always better to compete against Muhammed blog than Amazon).
The URL has to be fully optimized for the keyword or topic on which the content revolves. Eliminate words that do not add value, such as conjunctions, prepositions and other stop words.
How many posts have been made on how to write an SEO text? You have to add something that differentiates your title from the other 50,000 similar search results. The title must be your declaration of intent.
Keep in mind that the title must have between 50 and 70 characters to appear full in the search engines.
But you know what? A longer title may have more engagement in social networks, encouraging you to generate traffic, links and social signals (and this will mean better positions).
See below how our company ranks for the keyword "Digital Marketing in Tanzania".
The meta-description tag is the text that is displayed under the title in Google results. They do not influence much how they will rank your article or page, but instead they can influence people. If its informative and cool enough it might generate clicks.
Wrong: In this article you will learn to write optimized texts for SEO.
Good: Do you want to be ranked higher in Google? Well you've come to the right place. You will learn the 15 secrets on how to write SEO content that will give your website better visibility in search engines.
There are tools to see a simulation of how descriptions and titles will appear in Google results such as: Seomofo, SnipetOptimizer or Serpsimulator.
Imagine that you read a newspaper where the news are display first, halfway through you see the heading, and at the end you find the subheading. If it does not make any sense to you, for Google either.
The H1 (H stands for Heading) should always appear before the H2, the H3 has to be placed within the H2, and so on.
This is the number of times a keyword appears for every 100 words. Personally we would advise you to use your focus keyword no more than 3 to 5 times in your copy. If you over use it you will be penalised.
In fact, Matt Cuts, responsible for Google search, already made it clear that it is not so much of a positioning factor.
There is content of 100 words that can work well and other of 3,000 that can have the same results. Usually, the longer content tends to position better, but it is also because it tends to talk about a topic in greater depth, not because it is artificially extended.
Cornerstone Articles – Start by writing high quality long and thorough articles for a certain topic with no less than 2,000 to 3,000 words.
Cluster Articles – Once you have your cornerstone article in place start writing small articles that complement that topic with no less than 1,000 words each.
And do not forget to link well those articles together!
Images should be always optimized. That means that you should make sure they are compressed so their size is not to big, the name of the image should match your keyword and the ALT attribute on every image should also contain that same keyword.
How do we write a text for users?
This is the difficult part of optimizing a text for SEO. You must make sure you give your readers what no one else is giving them.
If after analyzing the competition you think there is room to improve what they are doing, do it. A simple way is to use the skyscrapper technique. It basically consists in detecting what is working for the competition and making it bigger and better.
If everyone is talking about how to do SEO in 2017, do a post on how to do SEO in 2018 that analyzes industry trends. If everyone is applauding how integrated Social Media and SEO are, make a post saying that it is a hoax.
Most topics can be approached from very different perspectives.
Keep in mind that the user who seeks you will use their own words. It is essential that we take it into account, not only to increase traffic through those terms.
Wrong: Frogs are animals that live in both water and land. They are green, have 4 legs and make "croac".
Good: The anurans, incorrectly cataloged with the term "frog" or "toad", are a group of amphibians with a taxonomic rank of order.
Wrong: The anurans, incorrectly cataloged with the term "frog" or "toad", are a group of amphibians with a taxonomic rank of order.
Good: Frogs are animals that live both in water and on land. They are green, have 4 legs and make "croac".
Having these differences in mind is especially important to go to niches, to countries with different uses of the same language (English in UK is not used the same way as in USA) and different age ranges.
If you only write, you will never make content that really outperforms others. One of the ways to offer something different is to use other formats: video, infographics, presentations, etc.
For example, upload a video to Youtube and insert it in the post, so you can use a combination of complementary keywords in each case, since Youtube videos also position, and at the same time improve the value of your content.
In this sense, never stop putting bold, links, quotes, images, videos and presentations that can make more enjoyable and more useful to read the content.
If you are writing a digital text, it will not be good unless you take advantage of the advantages offered by this environment. Each link that you give the option to your users to find information that complements what they are looking for, and if you link to their own content because it is relevant, you are generating links to them. What it means: more visits, more links, more authority and ultimately, more traffic.
Make sure that your content, in addition to being well written, is well categorized. This will give you SEO traffic to the category pages, but it will also improve the interenlazado of your web, which will make it easier to find and improve your SEO potential.
The best thing you can do to have your content positioned in search engines is to respond perfectly to the user's question.
But answering it is not only to provide more information than others: it also has to be more attractive, easier to interpret and synthesize, it has to have that provides more resources, has to be up to date, offer interaction with the community … and above all it has to be well written.
Do you know your users well? If the answer is negative, I can only recommend that you investigate and analyze until you know. .
So, know your audience, ensure the technical part and do it better than others. That is the secret of writing SEO texts.
Do you want your website to rank high in search engines but you do not have the time or experience to do so? Do you want to outsource that part of your business to a professional and experience team? Get in touch with us today and we will help you plan and manage the best SEO strategy for your business.

About Last Night: A Few Thoughts on the Golden Globes
Posted on January 6, 2020 by Lisa Marie Bowman
Watching the Golden Globes is always an odd experience.
First off, there's the mix of TV awards with movie awards. For someone like me, who spends most of January thinking about the Oscars, it's always somewhat annoying to have to sit through all of the television awards before even getting to the first film award. The Emmys are over so it's not like winning a Golden Globe is going to give Chernobyl or Fleabag the boost necessary to win a real award.
(Especially since those two shows already deservedly cleaned up at the Emmys….)
When it comes to the Globes, we care about the movies. I was happy with the majority of the film awards. I was especially happy to see the underrated Missing Link pick up the award for Best Animated Film. I was glad that Once Upon A Time In Hollywood was named Best Comedy, even though I think it's debatable whether or not the film was actually a comedy. I'm sorry Eddie Murphy didn't win for Dolemite Is My Name but, at the same time, Taron Egerton gave an outstanding performance in Rocketman. I haven't seen 1917 yet so I'm not going to comment on whether it should have won Best Drama or whether Sam Mendes deserved to defeat Scorsese and Tarantino. That said, upset victories are always fun.
Of course, this morning, most of the Golden Globe coverage is not centered on 1917 defeating both The Irishman and Marriage Story for Best Drama. Instead, almost everyone is talking about Ricky Gervais. It says something about the vapidness of pop cultural criticism in the age of social media that Gervais was apparently "too mean" for some people.
The fake self-flagellating "let's have Gervais 'roast' people LOL" thing has turned into THE grossest faux-populist spectacle outside The Razzies (and Razzies are shit.)

Some people seem to like Gervais because he doesn't care? Apathy is so boring. The best films are passionate and give a damn. It's ok to care. pic.twitter.com/TxJSx40arB

The #GoldenGlobes mood was already sober thanks to an impeachment, threat of war with Iran and Australian bush fires. The last thing anyone needed was Ricky Gervais there, telling them they sucked. https://t.co/58PAMOikhu

When it comes to a show like the Golden Globes, the host sets the tone. For instance, when Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosted, they set a tone that basically said: "Look at us and all of our famous friends!" It's a friendly tone where everyone tells everyone else how great they are. When Ricky Gervais hosts, the tone of the evening is usually a lot more awkward because no one is quite sure what Gervais is going to say and, being the Brit who created The Office, it's not like Gervais is going to suffer if no one in Hollywood ever returns another one of his calls. Both approaches have their strengths and their weaknesses. There have been some years when I've been in the mood for the Fey/Poehler approach. This year, with its promise of 11 months of wealthy celebrities trying to tell everyone else how to vote and probably getting angry because people in Iowa don't care about funding Amtrak, I was in the mood for someone willing to shake things up and say, "Get over yourselves." In other words, I was in the mood for RIcky Gervais.
During Gervais's opening monologue, he touched on several topics that everyone should have known he was going to touch on. He said that Epstein didn't kill himself and then accused everyone in the room of being his friend. He told the assembled that Ronan Farrow was coming for all of them. He told everyone that no one wanted to hear their political opinions because they had no idea what it was like to live in the real world and that they had less schooling than Greta Thunberg.
And whether you think any of that is funny or not is up to you. Humor is subjective. Personally, I think that the most important thing that a comedian can do is ridicule people who think that they're above ridicule. I also think that any belief or ideology that's worth anything will be able to survive being the subject of a joke. Many of my followers on twitter were not amused that Ricky Gervais made a joke about Greta Thunberg but so what? If what she's doing is truly worthwhile, it'll be able to survive someone making a joke about her skipping school.
Besides, Gervais made a few good points. Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself and a lot of famous people did hang out with him, even after he was first arrested. The majority of Hollywood did work with Harvey Weinstein, even though apparently his behavior wasn't exactly a secet. There are many self-proclaimed "woke" celebrities who do work for terrible companies. (And let's not even get into the people who refuse to criticize China.) And when it comes to politics, Patricia Arquette proved Gervais's point to be correct during her acceptance speech.
(The audience, I noticed, was surprisingly lukewarm to Arquette's anti-war speech. There was some applause but still, one got the feeling that the room's reaction was largely, "Oh God, Patricia's talking politics again." Personally, I was more impressed with Joaquin Phoenix's speech, if just because it may have been inarticulate but it was also sincere. Of course, as soon as he said that celebs didn't need private jets, the music started.)
Good points or not, you could tell that the audience was often not sure how to react to Gervais's comments. Tom Hanks looked shocked, though I think that has more to do with Hanks being the most impossibly wholesome film star working today than with what Gervais saying. (Seriously, if anything bad ever comes out about Tom Hanks, my entire belief system will crash.) Others, though, had that "OMG — WHAT'S HAPPENING!?" look on their face. It reminded me a bit of the 2013 Country Music Awards, when Carrie Underwood made a joke about the Obamacare website crashing and the audience clearly didn't know whether or not it was safe to laugh.
(Of course, the same people who loved it when the CMAs made fun of Obamacare weren't amused when future ceremonies featured jokes about Trump. So often, people's attitude towards humor seems to be, "I love it when you make jokes about the other side but if you make a joke about me, you're the worst person who ever lived." Eventually, Gervais will tweet out an anti-Trump joke and the people who love him now will suddenly hate him and the people who currently hate him will go back to retweeting him. What a vapid time to be alive.)
Anyway, last night's Golden Globes ceremony was a typical awards show ceremony and no one will remember a thing about it in a week. The Globes are pretty much there to tide us over until the Oscar nominations are announced. They did their job and life goes on.

Here's The Trailer For The Stranded!
Posted on November 1, 2019 by Lisa Marie Bowman
This up-coming Thai series certainly does like intriguing. It gives off a bit of a Lost vibe, which I guess is a good thing if you liked Lost. Me, I loved Lost so I'm happy.
The Stranded will be available on Netflix on November 15th!

Horror on TV: The Twilight Zone 3.24 "To Serve Man" (dir by Richard L. Bare)
"It's a cookbook!"
During the month of October, we like to share classic episodes of horror-themed television. That was easier to do when we first started doing our annual October horrorthon here at the Shattered Lens because every single episode of the original, black-and-white Twilight Zone was available on YouTube. Sadly, that's no longer the case. In fact, there is exactly one episode of the original Twilight Zone on YouTube.
Fortunately, that episode is a classic. In 1962's To Serve Man, an alien (Richard Kiel) comes to Earth and invites people to return to his home planet with him. He leaves behind a book. When everyone learns that the title of the book is To Serve Man, they excitedly decide that the book must be an instruction manual on how to help mankind. The truth, as we learn in the episode's classic finale, is something a little bit different.
Here's the episode! Watch it before YouTube yanks it down.
(This episode originally aired on October 2nd, 1962. It was directed by Richard L. Bare from a script by Rod Serling. It was based on a short story by Damon Knight.)

Here's The Trailer For The Witcher!
To be honest, I had my doubt about this project but the trailer actually looks kind of good.
The Witcher, which is based the series of books by Andrzej Sapkowski, tells the story of Geralt of Rivia, who hunts monsters at a time and in a land where it can often be difficult to tell the difference between who is truly a monster and who is not. Heny Cavill will be playing Geralt in the series and Adrzej Sapkowsi swill serve as a creative consultant.
So, let's hope for the best when The Witcher drops on Netflix on December 20th!
Here's the trailer.

Horror On TV: The Great Bear Scare (dir by Hal Mason)
I came across this old cartoon on YouTube. Apparently, it aired in October of 1983.
It's about bears living in Bearbank. Halloween is approaching and they're worried about getting invaded by the monsters who live on Monster Mountain. Well, that makes sense. My question is why would you buy a house near a location called Monster Mountain? And really, shouldn't the monsters be in the houses and the bears in the mountains? This cartoon is weird.
Anyway, the bears are getting ready to feel the city but little Ted E. Bear sets out to confront his fears! Woo hoo!
I don't know. It's from 1983. That was a strange year, I guess.

Guilty Pleasure No. 45: Utopia
Utopia ended on a Halloween.
Now, I'm not talking about utopia as a concept. I imagine that there are still people out there who think that the idea of creating a utopia is a a viable one. (I'm not one of those people but that's mostly because I think living in a perfect world would be hella dull.) Instead, I'm talking about a reality television show that premiered in September of 2014 and which was canceled one month later.
Though it's pretty much forgotten today, Utopia was a pretty big deal in the months leading up to its first episode. It's estimated that Fox spent 50 million dollars to develop and promote the show. Not only would Utopia air twice a week but, much in the style of Big Brother, audiences would be able to watch the show's participants interact live online. The commercials, which were inescapable that summer, explained that 12 people with radically different philosophies would be expected to come together and form a new society on a California farm. An atheist would live with a minister! A libertarian would have to work with a socialist! An attorney would have to find common ground with an ex-con! A huntress would eat at the same table as a vegetarian! The show was an experiment that would last an entire year and it would answer the question: Can different people come together to start a brave new world?
I have to admit that I was kind of excited for the show. Utopia started just as the 16th season of Big Brother came to an end. That season was one of the worst in the history of Big Brother, largely as the result of the show's producers putting the insufferable Frankie Grande in the House and then trying to rig the show in his favor. After a terrible season of Big Brother, I was actually had hope that maybe Utopia would be everything that Big Brother had ceased being.
Of course, I was wrong. From the first episode of Utopia, it became obvious that we would never learn whether people could come together to start a brave new world because, for the most part, no one on the show was interested in doing that. There was a lot of drinking, of course. There was also an entire episode devoted to one of the Utopians, a pastor, worrying that he would lust in his heart for the female Utopians unless they started wearing more clothes. For two episodes, a redneck named Red announced that he wanted to start his own society in the woods but eventually he changed his mind. The Utopians lived on a farm but only doomsday prepper Bella seemed to have any farming experience and, as quickly became obvious in her case, having experience doesn't necessarily mean that you know what you're doing.
It was a weird show. I'm assuming that Fox thought that there would be instant conflict if they put a libertarian and a socialist together but, for the most part, no one on the show ever discussed their differing philosophies. In fact, it was hard to see that any of them had any philosophy as all. Hex was regularly described as being a "huntress," despite the fact that we never saw her hunt. Rob was described as being a libertarian but we never actually saw him discuss what that meant and he acted like just as much of a petty authoritarian as the other members of the cast. The show tried to create the appearance of conflict but, like most Americans outside of Twitter, the cast dealt with their differences by not really discussing them. So, as a result, we ended up with entire episodes devoted to doomsday prepper Bella getting upset because veterinary assistant Bri wanted to have some say in how the farm animals were fed.
The one thing that kept all of this from being unbearable dull was that the show's perpetually optimistic host, Dan Piraro, described every minor event in breathless detail. When one of the Utopians got too drunk and acted like an ass, he was put on a trial. The end result of the trial? Everyone asked him to please not get drunk and act like an ass again. "And so the Utopians have created a legal system!" Piraro exclaimed.
As the show progressed, the Utopians started to get bored. Some of them voluntarily left Utopia, largely because they just wanted to find something better to do with their time. After the show's producers tried to turn attorney Mike Quinn into the star of the show and centered a few episodes around his relationship with "polyamorous Dedeker," he abruptly left. ("And so Mike leaves Utopia….") Whenever an old Utopian left, two prospective new ones would be brought in and would explain why they should be selected to live in Utopia but the new Utopians soon proved themselves to be just as boring as the old ones. The Utopians attempted to raise money for food by opening up their farm to the general public. Huntress Hex gave hunting lessons and revealed that she wasn't really sure how to use a bow and arrow. One of the new arrivals attempted to create a website for the farm, just to have the site besieged by online trolls. Ratings crashed and the show soon went from airing twice a week to only airing on Fridays.
And yet, the worse the show got, the more fascinating it became. Utopia offered audiences the opportunity to watch a month-long train wreck as it unfolded. It was so bad that you couldn't look away and each attempt by Fox to somehow spice up the show only made it more of a disaster. I would watch each episode just to see how much more pointless the show could become.
The final episode aired on Halloween and it featured the host wearing a cape and, if I remember correctly, plastic fangs at one point. By this point, Fox had changed the show's concept. Now, the viewers would vote each week on who they wanted to banish from Utopia. ("But I'm an atheist!" Hex wailed, "America's going to hate me!") Or, at least, that's what the show's producers said was going to happen. Instead, Utopia was canceled before America ever got a chance to vote.
Interestingly, the only people shocked by Utopia's cancellation were the people living on the farm. Apparently, the day after Halloween started out normally for them and for whoever might have been watching them on the live feeds. Sometime in the afternoon, the feeds abruptly went down and never came back up. From what I've read, the Utopians were called into a meeting and told that they were going home immediately.
Utopia has never been tried again but I fondly remember watching it. The Utopians failed to create a brave new world but they kept me amused for 12 episodes.

Horror On TV: Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy in The Pumpkin That Wouldn't Smile (dir by Chuck Jones)
Awwww, that poor pumpkin! Well, hopefully, he's smiling now!
This animated special originally aired on Halloween night in 1979. I would imagine that the crying pumpkin probably traumatized children across America. Hopefully, all the kids were out trick or treating when this aired. Myself, I remember that when I was a kid, I would help my mom carve a pumpkin every year. And then I would get so depressed when we later had to throw it out. Seriously, I would get really attached to those jack o'lanterns.
Anyway, this cartoon is before my time but I have a feeling that, if I had been around to watch it, I would have been depressed for a whole year afterwards.

At the end of a tough year, I was fortunately presented with the opportunity of travelling to Addis Ababa. It's been a life-long wish to visit Ethiopia, and so of course I went. When I got there, everybody I met was warm, open and eager to share with me, their favourite meals. And so after this short trip, I can only describe Ethiopia like one of its most famous exports, berbere; Ethiopia is intriguingly layered, wonderfully detailed and truly exceptional.
I had the pleasure of trying several popular dishes, like shiro, kitfo, doro wot, fir fir and a few others. There is certainly so much more to taste and learn about; I hope to be lucky enough to be able to return again for those.
This richly-seasoned dish is one of the most popular recipes, and with good reason. The complexity and depth of flavour in the niter kibbeh and berbere alone, should tell you a lot about what to expect from Ethiopia's answer to "chicken stew." Because you have to start preparing the dish by first killing, then systematically cleaning, cutting and marinating a whole chicken, doro wot was primarily served during big celebratory occasions like Christmas. However, due to the growing restaurant culture and demand for the dish, you can eat doro wot anywhere and anytime (in Addis at least).
It goes without saying that everybody has a variation of how to prepare doro wot. Even at ingredient level, opinions of how much of what spice should be included in the berbere, or the kibbeh can affect the quantity of each in your doro wot recipe. This is Chef Million's take on it, and I can guarantee that it was absolutely delicious.
This dish is certainly more than meets the eye. That finely-ground powder, or flour you see comprises chickpea and fava bean flour, berbere, garlic and onion powder, and a few other components which vary from household to household.
This rich, full-flavoured dish was certainly one of my favourites. I ate it almost every day and look forward to the next opportunity of tasting it again.
Kitfo is definitely one of the most popular dishes. Whenever I'd explain to whomever about what I was trying to do while in Addis, Kitfo was always recommended. Now, I'm not the biggest player in the meat-eating game, so this dish was not quite for me, though, if you like tartares and you want one with some bite, this is really something worth trying. You can also eat it slightly cooked, (kitfo leb leb), which was how I ate it when I was there.


The National League of Cities (NLC) has created a national housing task force to address the growing housing crisis. It will examine issues including housing availability, affordability, quality and investments.
The National League of Cities Task Force on Housing will be made up of 18 leaders from cities of various sizes, regions and demographics. It was created under the leadership of NLC President and Gary, IN Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson, and it will be chaired by Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser.
The group will develop a set of best and promising practices for addressing housing issues at the local level as well as policy recommendations for state and federal governments.
The housing crisis initially was viewed as a problem only in large cities, namely those with traditionally high costs of living or some that have seen recent affordability issues in conjunction with the tech industry boom. But leaders no longer consider the problem limited to cities like New York, San Francisco and Seattle. Mid- and small-sized cities including Salt Lake City also are feeling the pinch and taking action to mitigate the problem.
The cost of housing now outpaces wage growth in most parts of America and the problem has the potential to worsen significantly, given that more and more people are moving to urban areas, further stretching housing supply. "The affordable housing crisis is one of the most critical issues we are facing in this country," Bowser said in a statement.
Cities are trying a variety of tactics to address their individual housing challenges, from Boston offering up $16 million for affordable housing projects to Baltimore launching an affordable housing trust to numerous cities cracking down on short-term rentals to several cities like Denver implementing housing plans. But cities increasingly are realizing they can't necessarily do this all alone.
Boston teamed up with neighboring municipalities to create a regional housing partnership and the Salt Lake City Council called on neighboring municipalities to follow suit when it passed a housing plan last year. Plus, groups including the U.S. Conference of Mayors have dedicated housing groups to bring together a variety of leaders to brainstorm solutions. Thus far no tried-and-true solution has emerged for the housing crisis, but NLC's housing task force could provide a framework for progress on the topic.

Skies clear for 'Hawaii Five-0' Sunset on the Beach premiere
Special to the Honolulu Star-Adv
2015 September 12 HAWAII FIVE-O - The entire cast
Despite a week of monsoon rains and a weather forecast that included thunderstorms, the skies cleared and the stars came out for the "Hawaii Five-0" Sunset on the Beach season six premiere Saturday.
The show's annual party at Queen's Surf Beach draws fans eager for a glimpse of their favorite stars, who arrive on a red carpet stretched across the sand. Fans also get to see the season premiere well ahead of the network debut, which this year is scheduled for Sept. 25.
But the torrential rains that lashed Oahu much of Friday and Saturday morning put the event in jeopardy. CBS didn't greenlight Sunset on the Beach until midday Saturday and as a precaution, hastily built a canopy over the red carpet just a few hours before show time.
It drizzled only once, though.
Alex O'Loughlin, who headlines the cast as lawman Steve McGarrett, said he had his doubts in the days ahead of the event.
"Yes, man, I did," he said as he stood amid screaming fans on the red carpet. "We had to shut down production of the last shot Friday because there was an electrical storm. And then it came down this afternoon. But I'm thrilled. Look at all these people."
Peter Lenkov, the show's executive producer, said fans began waiting at the beach on Tuesday, which he found amazing. On Friday, when he drove by the beach and saw fans actually waiting in the rain, he was blown away, he said.
"It's amazing," Lenkov said as he stood on the red carpet. "Such dedication. They're the reason we are on the air after six seasons."
When Lenkov addressed the crowd later, from a stage below the screen, he joked that he didn't have a speech because he didn't think the event would be held.
"I thought we were going to have rain and end up showing it at O'Toole's or a local bar," he said. "But luckily, you all prayed. I asked you to pray and we got a perfect night. Actually I think it's probably one of the best nights we have ever had for sunset on the beach."
Honolulu police officers handling crowd estimated about 5,000 showed up, which is what the event drew the year before.
With the exception of Scott Caan, all of the show's stars attended, some braving humid conditions in jackets — with sweat stains as a badge of courage.
"Five-0" began shooting episodes in July and this week finished up the season's seventh episode.
But Lenkov touted the premiere as the most expensive to date, noting that it went well over budget. With a plot that involved 19th century pirates, buried treasure and actors in period costumes, the episode was probably one of the show's most unusual as well.
A group of pirates even walked the red carpet, scowling and saying "argh" a lot. Some signed autographs — "Pirate," of course.
"It was a lot," Lenkov said of the cost of the episode. "Enough that I am going to pass around a hat later to see what everyone can chip in."
The new season has been billed as one filled romance: Characters Kono Kalakaua (Grace Park) and Adam Noshimori (Ian Anthony Dale) are newlyweds, McGarrett is talking proposing to his girlfriend Catherine Rollins (Michelle Borth) and Chin Ho Kelly (Daniel Dae Kim), whose wife was viciously murdered a few seasons ago, will get a love interest.
"I think that is maybe part of the theme this year, relationships, and that is what we are focusing on," Lenkov said. "I think it's just part of the evolution of characters."
O'Loughlin thinks his character could be a good family man.
"He'd be a great father," he said. "He's a little bit crazy, but I think he'd be a great father."
Kim said the episodes have been fun to shoot, including a scene where he's roaring along the H-3 freeway on a motorcycle. The state agreed to close lanes of the freeway to allow for unhindered shooting.
"It's been really nice," Kelly said. "There has been a lighter side to Chin along with the bad ass moments that are vintage Chin. And he has a love interest coming in soon."
And the romance sounds good, he said.
"He has a love interest coming in sometime soon," he said. "I will be looking forward to playing those kinds of scenes as well. I think it's great we are delving into the characters' personal lives, seeing different sides to them, different colors. Nothing wrong with that."

Startling summer shower soaks Mendocino (updated 11 p.m.)

UPDATE 10:50 p.m. — One little update from the National Weather Service, over 180 lightening strikes in the Emerald Triangle today. And though there is rain, fire is still possible, so remain vigilante.
We estimate over 180 lightning strikes across Trinity, Humboldt, and Mendocino counties so far today. Storms have produced rain, but fires are still possible. If you happen to see a fire, help out the firefighters and report it.
— NWS Eureka (@NWSEureka) August 10, 2019
UPDATE 10:10 p.m. — Readers from southern Ukiah, all the way up to Myers Flat (about 90 miles north) are reporting rain and lightening, from heavy downpours to a light sprinkling.
Readers in Covelo, and along the Mendocino coast have also reported heavy rain and lightening, showing that the storm is covering essentially all of the county.
Here is a snapshot of the Doppler radar at about 10 p.m. showing heavy rain from about Redwood Valley all the way up to Medford Oregon:
WILLITS, 8/9/19 — A sudden summer rain shower, and a little lightning and thunder, has swept into northern Mendocino County, drenching Willits and neighboring areas. The showers began with some rain at around 7:40 p.m., this evening and were followed by a brief downpour at around 8:30 p.m., having now settled into a sprinkle.
What are you seeing?
The National Weather Service predicted cooling temperatures and scattered showers today, but mainly warned of much lightening over Trinity County and neighboring areas, actually declaring a red flag warning (a state of heightened fire risk) over that area.
Showers and a few #thunderstorms will be possible across northwest California this afternoon through Saturday.
When thunder roars, go indoors.#cawx pic.twitter.com/y2TPPxtqZD
— NWS Eureka (@NWSEureka) August 9, 2019
But father south we got cool humid weather, with a pretty good rain, that the National Weather Service out of Hanford described as resembling "a wet season scenario not August."
Here are are a few more Tweets from the NWS describing the odd weather.
Very unusual weather pattern for early August. Vigorous low pressure system off the NW Calif coast is producing lots of thunderstorms over the Pac NW.

The latest GFS 500 mb and precip chart shows an unseasonably deep upper level low moving into northern CA Saturday morning bringing a slight chance of rain to the North Bay. A few drops could make it into the SF Bay Area.
Lightning is expected to stay north of the district. #cawx pic.twitter.com/BeOzE87R1h

In order to make sure that the company does not go through any legal procedure for violating the terms of authenticity, it is important to select the supplier that has a license. This enables the supply to be legit and safe to use. Moreover, it is also ensures the wellness in terms of quality which turns out to favor the company directly. This is why choosing an authorized supplier is important.
This step has seen to be ignored by countless companies and suppliers. And the surprising part is, it doesn't work in their favor as well, except for a few well-known companies like Apple. Apple may target a selected group of people with a budget as high as the prices of its products but that doesn't work well for everyone. In order to gain maximum customers, one must look into their budgets and set prices on the average of their income. In that way, their products can be affordable by everyone.
It has been seen that most companies fear that the low prices might affect their revenue and will leave no chance of profit. In that manner, it leaves the clear indication that them making their price higher sets aside the understanding that is normally between the customer and the seller. When the prices are set low, it caters to the need of the buyer from every financial category. This enables more and more buyers to avail their products and the company sees more profit than a loss due to the high demands of something so affordable. This allows more people to pay more heed to the company.
The most important yet the most neglected point is to maintain the customer relationships. When the buyer and the supplier has a thorough means to pass the concerns to each other and to get them resolves, this creates a relationship of trust and mutual understanding. Moreover, this also enables the company to improve their products according to the queries made by the customers. It becomes a win-win situation from both sides that benefit both the buyer and the supplier. When companies arrange a proper platform for the people to come forward with their issues or even to raise a few queries regarding their products, they then get a better understanding of the product and the services that are being provided.
Furthermore, a 24/7 activeness should be ensured on the customer services of the company in their websites, or the social media pages. The companies who don't follow this step seem to lose their customers to their competitors and enable them to trust the other products over them. This makes the company lose their customers which directly affects their sales. So to make it simple, in order to increase the sales and buying numbers of your products, maintain a good relationship with your customers and engage with them often.
Innovations engage the customers with the company and never lets them get weary from the products. Innovation partners with creativity to bring out new ideas that helps the customers remain interested. Aside from that, innovation takes the company forward and increases their sales that benefits both the company and the customer. This works in a way that the investment of the customers towards the products of the company that interests them becomes worth. On the other hand, the interest and satisfaction of their customer works well in their favor and successfully increases their sales in the market.
Rigidity has never worked well for anyone in the field of business and marketing. One has to make certain changes in their methods to enable the company to blend in with the market. Being rigid does not make the product stand out in the market, but makes it stay exactly where it was. This is the opposite of what every company aspires for. Every company has to be flexible in its term according to the needs, demands, and affordability of their customers. This helps the company to flourish more and makes the people engage more, which increases the sales dramatically.
Consumers tend to get easily suspicious when their preferred company maintains secrecy over their product-making procedure. The exact same thing happened with McDonalds, which now enabled them to open their kitchen for public visit. Transparency helps build trust and ease in the minds of the consumers. This urges them to rely on the company and its products and to continue buying from them. This helps maintain, and even increase the sales that is solely based on the trust of the customers with their company.
Conclusively, these six qualities are what affects the purchasing activities of a customer both directly and indirectly.


This is the United States Reciprocal Trade Act that this room is very enthused about, that a lot of people are very enthused about. We're taken advantage of by many, many countries all over the world. They charge us tariffs and taxe — the likes of which nobody has any understanding, they're so high and so unfair.
They also have barriers where we can't go in. They have trade barriers that make it impossible for us to sell our farm products and our other products or cars in those places.
So this is the United States Reciprocal Trade Act, and it's really a preliminary meeting. It's a little bit of an early meeting. We're going to be talking about it. We have tremendous support, and we're going to find out what happens.
It should have been done many years ago, as many things should have been done many years ago. Frankly, the wall should have been built many years ago; we wouldn't have the problems that we have today.
So I'm pleased to welcome Republican members of Congress to the White House. I especially want to thank Congressman Sean Duffy for sponsoring one of the top legislative priorities, to my way of thinking, that you can have. It's called "fairness," really.
The United States Reciprocal Trade Act — this legislation will help finally to give our workers a fair and level playing field against other countries. Countries are taking advantage of us, whether they think we're very nice or not so smart. They've been doing it for many, many years, and we want to end it.
All over the world, foreign countries put massive tariffs on our products while we put very few, if any, on theirs. So we then wonder why we're not doing the business we should be doing. And we wonder, maybe most importantly, why we had, last year, over an $800 trillion trade deficient — $800 billion, in terms of a trade deficit.
So when you have a number like $800 billion, you say to yourself, "Somebody made a lot of bad deals." And that's happened over a long period of time.
The Reciprocal Trade Act will give us the tools to solve this problem once and for all. In addition to the various trade deals that we're working on with Mexico, Canada, China — South Korea, we just finished. It's a good deal. Made it a good deal. It was a terrible deal, and we made it into a good deal. We'll get the trade way down and we'll get the deficits way down.
Under the U.S. Reciprocal Trade Act, whatever the tariffs for a foreign country is, we place the same tariff on us. So if somebody is charging — and I brought a chart. If somebody is charging us 100 percent tariff, and we're charging them nothing, we're entitled to charge the same tariff as them.
And what's going to happen, I think, from a practical standpoint, is they won't be charging us tariffs anymore. We'll see. Or we'll charge them a lot. It's a tremendous amount of money. It's a tremendous problem for our country.
India, as an example, has a 150 percent — hard to believe — tariff on whiskey. They make whiskey, and they sell it to us. We charge them zero. We sell it to them; they charge us 150 percent. So I would say, other than that, it's a very fair deal. Okay? (Laughter.) That's the least of it. We have far worse than that.
So if countries refuse to lower their barriers, then we will simply place a matching tariff on their product. It's very simple. It's the simplest thing that you can do.
I will be talking a lot about reciprocal trade over the next six years. Hopefully, we'll have it done in two years or less. And we will see deficits down to a level that would really — you know, we talk about "Make America Great Again"; we have to do these things to make America great again. Because we can't lose almost $800 billion on trade, like has been done for many years. And it's been numbers — they varied anywhere from $300 billion to over $800 billion. Can't do that.
And what we're doing with China, I think, will have a tremendous impact, if you look at the numbers that we're talking about. We'll see how that all comes out. But, as you know, we're charging tremendous tariffs now, and they go up, as of March 1st, very substantially. I think China would like to make a deal. We'd like to make a deal. I like exactly where we are right now, to be honest with you. We're very happy. We have billions of dollars coming into our Treasury — billions — from China. We never had 10 cents coming into our Treasury; now we have billions coming in.
But if we could make a deal that'll be great — on intellectual property, and theft, and all of the other things we're talking about, in addition to taxes themselves.
So I'll be talking a lot about this over the next period of time, and I want to just thank the incredible people — all friends of mine. They are — this is a very early meeting. This is the beginning of something, I think, that's going to be very important for our country. And I look forward to discussing it.
They did a chart, right here, where, as an example, these are — and these are not big abuses. You look at apples. Japan, foreign tariff — 17 percent. The United States — nothing. We get nothing; they get 17. The same apple. Actually, ours are better, you want to know the truth. (Laughter.) So that makes it even worse.
REPRESENTATIVE ADERHOLT: No, you're good. You're good.
THE PRESIDENT: He's a handsome man. I don't want to cover him up.
Autos, China — you have a 15 percent tariff, and the U.S. has 2.5. So when you sell — and, by the way, we got the autos down from 40 in China. I got them down to 15. But it's still 15 percent versus 2.5 percent. But, if you know, it was 40 and 25 percent. We got them down to 15, but that's really not good enough because we have 15 versus 2.5 percent. And we don't even get the 2.5 percent. There are ways that they can eliminate that.
French fries — one of our favorite meals. (Laughter.) French fries from Thailand — 30 percent. We get 8 percent. You look at the numbers.
Go down — look at motorcycles, as an example. India — 50 percent. It was 100 percent. I got them down to 50 percent just by talking for about two minutes. But it's still 50 percent versus 2.4 percent. Again, other than that, it's a very fair deal.
Pork, EU — pretty much zero. And it's 67 percent. So you look at that, and something like whiskey from India, and other things from India — India is a very high tariff. They charge us a lot of tariffs. But you look at whiskey. So India gets 150 percent, and we get nothing.
I will tell you that those are just a few of the products. It's actually much worse than that, as bad as that sounds. And all we're saying — if you're going to charge us 150 percent, we're going to charge you 150 percent. And what will happen, in many cases, is we'll both charge each other nothing or we'll get 150 percent. That's okay, too.
I spoke to a couple senators about this that are really into this stuff, and they said, "Hey, sounds fair to me." And a lot of people think it's fair.
We have to get foreign countries to respect us again, both militarily and on trade. And I tell you, we have come a long way in two years. It's a whole different ballgame. When you look at what's happened, it's a whole different ballgame.
So this is the Reciprocal Trade Act, and I think that it's something that's going to — you're going to hear a lot about it. And, you know, hard to believe — you'll have people that are against it. You'll have people say that we don't mind if a country charges us 50 percent, 100 percent, 250 percent.
We have some cases, like with butter — Sean was telling me — in Wisconsin. Do you want to tell that story? The difference?
REPRESENTATIVE DUFFY: Yeah, so Europe charges us 68 percent tariffs on our Wisconsin butter, and we charge 2.8 percent on European butter. It's totally unfair. It's not right.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, one of the ideas suggested is they open it, they pay a — sort of a prorated down payment for the wall, which I think people agree that you need. You need the wall. In fact, I see a lot of the Democrats are all — almost all of them are breaking and saying, "Look, walls are good. Walls are good." Big difference from what you had two or three weeks ago.
And the vote — we had the vote on our bill, which we won 50-47. That was our bill. But we got one Democrat. It was 50-47. And we need — as you know, we have to get 60. We don't have 60 votes, so we need Democrat support. We didn't get Democrat support, other than from a — actually, a wonderful man, as you know — Senator Manchin. And he's doing the right thing for his people. I mean, he's doing the right thing for West Virginia, frankly.
And the other bill — it was 52-44. And that included a lot of hurricane relief for a lot of different states. So it's sort of not something — some of them really voted for the hurricane relief, which they felt they needed. That was 52-44. But you need 60. So that didn't go anywhere.
So we knew they both were not going to go anywhere, we thought. And now Mitch is negotiating with Chuck Schumer, and we'll see what happens. I think they just left a meeting. They just had a meeting. I think they're going to have to see their people. But they just left.
So we have two bills. I think we did very well. The Republicans held. Except for two, the Republicans held. Two were not there. They couldn't — they weren't able to be there, so there were two non-votes. But even with two non-votes, I think they would have been good votes for us. It's 50-47; we won. But we need 60 votes because of the 60-vote rule.
And so I just really want to thank the Republicans for holding. Again, on the other one, that was the opening up. That's 52-44, but you need 60 votes. So it's a long way short. And a lot of that — a lot of those votes were based on the fact that there was hurricane relief for certain states.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I wouldn't be happy with it. I wouldn't be happy. But we have a lot of alternatives. Honestly, we have — everybody — look, for the most part, people agree — when I say "everybody," I would say almost everybody agrees we have to have border security. We have to have a wall in order to have border security.
You cannot have border security without a wall. I mean, we can play games, and we can talk about technology. We can talk about drones flying around. You know, right now, formed, is an 8,000-person caravan. And the caravan is heading our way. Congratulations. We have another one. We stopped the first one. We stopped the second one. I wouldn't say that Tijuana is too happy, but they're happily living in Tijuana right now. And a lot of them have gone back. But we stopped them, but it's very tough.
And if we didn't have a wall in those areas, it would have been very hard to stop them. We have the military and we have the Border Patrol; they've done an incredible job. And ICE has done an incredible job all over the country, frankly. We've removed thousands of MS-13 and others out of our country.
But if we had a wall, we wouldn't have that problem. It would be great.
So we have a lot of alternatives, but I'm just honored that almost all of the Republicans voted for our bill. Our bill is the bill that, I think, we're really focused on. But we had almost all of the Republicans, so the end result was 50-47. The Democrats lost one that came over to our side.
So they pretty much held, and we held. And, again, we were missing two Republicans. They couldn't vote. They were not here.
Q Do you get the sense that there's enough movement to end the shutdown soon? Or are we going to see this drag out for a while?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I have to find out. After this meeting, we'll find out. But right now, Mitch McConnell is meeting with Chuck Schumer and to see — they'll have to see what happens. They're meeting to see if they can work out something, maybe on a temporary basis where we start.
But I have — you know, we have a lot of alternatives. There are a lot of people that want this to happen. I'll tell you who wants this to happen: The military wants this to happen because this is a virtual invasion of our country — of drugs, of human traffickers, of so many different things, of criminals. It's an invasion of our country. And the military wants this to happen, and the Border Patrol wants this to happen.
And, by the way, Border Patrol said all of the drones flying up in the air — having a lot of fun, flying drones all over the place — they don't mean a thing when they look down and they see thousands of people rushing our border. The only thing that works is a strong barrier or wall.
THE PRESIDENT: I have not. I haven't spoken to Nancy Pelosi. But I'm here, you know? I haven't left except for a beautiful evening in Iraq. I've been here for a long time.
Q Mr. President, did you see Wilbur Ross said that he didn't understand why federal workers would need help getting food? Can you understand why?
THE PRESIDENT: No, I haven't — I haven't heard the statement, but I do understand that perhaps he should have said it differently. Local people know who they are when they go for groceries and everything else. And I think what Wilbur was probably trying to say is that they will work along. I know banks are working along. If you have mortgages, the mortgagees — the mortgage — the folks collecting the interest and all of those things, they work along.
And that's what happens in times like this. They know the people. They've been dealing with them for years. And they work along. The grocery store — and I think that's probably what Wilbur Ross meant, but I haven't seen his statement, no. But he's done a great job, I will tell you that.
Q On Venezuela, I just want to know: Aren't you worried to leave the American diplomats behind?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, we're looking at Venezuela. It's a very sad situation. That was the richest state in all of that area. That's a big, beautiful area, and by far the richest. And now it's one of the poorest places in the world. That's what socialism gets you, when they want to raise your taxes to 70 percent.
You know, it's interesting, I've been watching our opponents — our future opponents — talking about 70 percent. Number one, they can't do it for 70 percent. It's got to be probably twice that number. But, maybe more importantly, what happens is you really have to study and take a look at what's happened to Venezuela. It is a very, very sad situation.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, it depends what the agreement is. I mean, yeah — but if they come to a reasonable agreement, I would support it. Yeah.
THE PRESIDENT: I only — look, look — I have other alternatives, if I have to. And I'll use those alternatives if I have to. But we want to go through the system. We have to have a wall in this country. We have criminals pouring into our country.
And I'm not talking about the southern border. They don't stay there. They go through and they permeate all throughout the country, including places like Wisconsin — a lot of different places. And that's the problem.
I say that we would cut our crime — you know, we're very well on crime rate, compared to past years and past administration, but I think our crime rate would go way down. And I know our drug rates — our drug — what's happening is the drugs are pouring in. And, yes, they come through the ports of entry, but the big trucks come through areas where you don't have a wall and you have wide-open spaces.
We have to have the wall. You'd stop drugs. You'd stop human trafficking. I mean, human trafficking — where they tie up women and they put duct tape on their mouths, and they put them in the backseat of a car or in a van. They don't come through a port of entry because the people at the port of entry are going to see that. That's not like hiding drugs in the engine or in the hubcaps, and they have incredible, ingenious ideas. I mean, frankly, I have to say, some of these people are so genius, if they were ever legit, they'd become very rich people.
But what they do is they go through the ports of entry with small stuff, but the big stuff comes through areas where you have nobody watching. I mean, you have hundreds of miles of open space, and they go out there, and they're loaded up with drugs or they have women in the backseat of the cars with duct tape all over the place. It's a disgrace.
And you don't catch them. They make a — you don't even know the difference between Mexico and the United States. They make a left turn after they go out 20 miles, 40 miles — 5 miles, in some cases, and less. They make a left turn; they're in the United States. And then they do whatever they have to do.
You need the wall. And we can all play games, and we can all talk about technology. I know more about technology than anybody. If you don't have the wall, the technology doesn't work.
First of all, the wall is based on — I mean, it's all based — any technology works only with the wall. It's not going to work otherwise. You need the wall. In fact, a lot of the technology is put on top of the wall. That's how you see it — the cameras and everything else. I mean, they literally put the technology — they fasten it to the wall.
Then you have drone technology. And that's great, in terms of — what are you going to do? Are you going to follow the people? First of all, once they step into the country, you know what happens, right? You know what they do. It's called — what do they call it? Do you know?
THE PRESIDENT: They put one foot in our country, right? And we got them. That's it. So the drones don't help us. We have to keep it out. We have — we have no choice but to have a wall or a barrier. And if we don't have that, it's just not going to work. So it's very important to me.
Q Mr. President, what's your message to federal workers who are missing another paycheck this week and struggling?
THE PRESIDENT: I love them. I respect them. I really appreciate the great job they're doing. They — you know, many of those people that are not getting paid are totally in favor of what we're doing because they know the future of this country is dependent on having a strong border, especially a strong southern border because we have tremendous violence and crime coming through that border. We have tremendous drugs. We have the human trafficking. We have MS-13 and gangs pouring through those borders. And if we don't strengthen those borders, we're going to have a big problem in the future.
And one of the people I blame is myself because the economy is so strong right now — stronger than ever before. Today — today, right now — we have more people working in the United States than has ever worked in this country before. That's a great compliment. So I blame myself, okay?
But the fact is people come up because our country is doing so well, and they want to break through our borders. The fact is we want them to come up. We have a big — we took in more people last year, legally, than we have in a long time because we need them because we have — a lot of companies are coming into our country. So we need people coming in.
I want people to come in, but they have to come in legally and they have to come in through merit. They have to be able to help companies. And if they don't help companies and if they don't help our country, we can't do that, folks. We just can't do that. All right?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, it's really her choice. I mean, I would have done it in a different location, but I think that would be very disrespectful to the State of the Union — to pick some other place. I could have done it. I could have gone to a big auditorium and gotten 25,000 people in one day — and you've been there many times — but I think that would be very disrespectful to the State of the Union.
So what she said, I thought, was actually reasonable: We'll have the State of the Union when the shutdown is over.
Q And when do you think that's going to be?
THE PRESIDENT: That I can't tell you. That I can't tell you. But we have a lot of alternatives. But we need border security.


U.K. online realtor OpenRent has received £4.4 million in backing from Rocket Internet's venture capital arm Global Founders Capital.
Founded in 2012, London-based OpenRent aims to make the process of renting a property less stressful for both tenant and landlord. It gives tenants an easy way to view and rent properties while offering cost-saving services for landlords over the steep prices paid when using a realtor. In fact, the site claims to save landlords almost £3,000 in fees and advertising, with packages starting at £29.
Tech Crunch reports that the company's last funding round was an "equity for media" deal in 2014 with Northern & Shell Ventures, which is part of the U.K. media group that operates Express Newspapers, The Health Lottery and OK! magazine.
This new round of funding will be used to expand its team and continue product development.

A new Community Plan proposed for the Baldwin Hills/Leimert Park area would exempt Council District 10 from current restrictions on new fast food restaurants in the area.

Hayley Fox | April 11, 2013
For years, health advocates and city officials have fought to keep fast food chains out of South L.A. neighborhoods. But under the new proposed Community Plan for the West Adams - Baldwin Hills -Leimert Park area, many of the current restrictions on such places may be lifted.
Gwendolyn Flynn, the policy director of non-profit health advocacy group Community Health Councils (CHC), said the current Community Plan for this area would exempt Council District 10 from the fast food ordinance—which blocks stand-alone fast food restaurants from opening within a half mile of another existing fast food eatery.
"The ordinance's goal was to curb the concentration of fast food restaurants and preserve space for the development of other food choices," said the CHC.
Flynn added that 70 percent of restaurants in South L.A. are fast food outlets, as compared to 40 percent nearby West L.A. neighborhoods.
"We want to have more variety in our community in the same way that our adjacent neighbors have," said Flynn.
Flynn, along with other activists and area residents, attended a City Planning Commission hearing Thursday at City Hall to protest the current version of the Community Plan. Flynn said that by the end of the day, the commission decided to recommend removing the exemption from the community plan.
Although Flynn said this is a step in the right direction, their recommendation must now be approved by the Planning and Land Use Management (PLUM) Committee and eventually the full City Council.
If the commission's recommendation is not approved and CD 10 is exempted from the fast food ban, nearly 80 percent of the people who live in the Baldwin Hills Community Plan area will be affected. The exempted area would stretch from Jefferson Blvd north to Pico, west to Culver City and east to Arlington/Van Ness.
But many experts debate over how effective the fast food ban is, and if it's really enough to make a dent in the area's obesity numbers.
Yang Lu, a research professor at USC, told OnCentral last year that although offering healthier food options is a good start to improving overall community health, public education and clear menu labeling may also help.
"Even when people know whats good for them sometimes some comfort food, some fast food is so addictive," Lu said.
Other health experts say the real change comes from personal choice—meaning you can't force people to make healthy choices. And if you try too hard there's often a backlash, as evidenced by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's effort to ban sodas that are 16 ounces or larger.
The Los Angeles Times reports that new research shows by outlawing large sodas, beverage makers may begin to sell sodas in smaller packages and bundle them together as a single unit. This could encourage consumers to buy and drink more soda than they would have before the ban.
Similar sentiments have been expressed regarding the fast food ban. The ordinance doesn't address existing fast food restaurants or those in shopping centers or strip malls, so banning new locations could increase business at existing fast food restaurants.
South LA fast food ban has not improved health, study says
