Arcata, Ca., (KIEM)- Famous for their use of Larrapin sauce, and their signature "slugs," Los Bagels takes a stand that demonstrates their ethics beyond the bagels. The restaurant donated food to two convoys of protesters that left Arcata Monday, to demand the release of Claudia Portillo. She had been held at the Mesa Verde ICE Dentition Center in Bakersfield, Ca.
An immigrant from El Salvador, Portillo has lived in the United States since she was seven years old. Now she's a mother of four and a part of the community in Arcata. Her detention, 555 miles away from her family for upwards of seven months has drummed up outrage among her growing base of supporters.
"It's not a question of why we should help, its why would we not help support an upstanding member of our community. Why would we not go to bat to keep families together?" Dennis Rael, who helped coordinate the free food for the protesters says. He explains that Los Bagels as a company stands with the community, and for human rights. But the donation was not about promoting the store, simply helping people who are fighting for what they believe is right.

    } else if (interaction.values[0] === 'info') {
      interaction.reply({ embeds: [info], ephemeral: true });
    }
  });
}

If you look at the image below, you will see that it doesn't give me anything after I select an option. I use discord.js v14.

A: The createMessageComponentCollector's componentType option should be an enum. You should use ComponentType.SelectMenu and it will work:
const collector = message.channel.createMessageComponentCollector({
  filter,
  componentType: ComponentType.SelectMenu,
  max: 10,
});

Boruto Ep. 143: All The Details You Need To Know
For a while, it seemed like 'Naruto Shippuden' was the end of our beloved anime's journey and although it was a pretty satisfying swan song for Naruto, we wanted more of it. That's when 'Boruto' came in and as fans of the series, we couldn't help but get all hyped about it. Overall, despite having some good quality animation, 'Boruto' is far from being as great as 'Naruto'. However, it is still watchable if you consider yourself to be a true Naruto fan. So with that out the of the way, if you have been following Boruto all this while, read on further to know all about its next episode.
Boruto Episode 143 Release Date: When will it premiere?
'Boruto', which is a direct sequel of 'Naruto Shippuden', premiered on April 5, 2017 and has aired 142 episodes so far. 'Boruto' episode 143, titled "A Test of Willpower", is scheduled to release on February 9, 2020.
Where to Watch Boruto Episode 143 English Dub Online?
You can stream 'Boruto' on Crunchyroll and Hulu with its original Japanese audio and English subtitles. Viewers in the United States can stream its English dubbed version on Viz Media. Viewers from Australia and New Zealand can watch it on AnimeLab.
Boruto Spoilers
There was a time when Naruto would struggle to prove his true worth to the people of the Hidden Leaf Village, but now, after all these years, he is finally the Hokage. As a Hokage, he has taken it upon himself to protect the village from any outside forces and has also formed a peace truce with all the villages that surround them.
However, even now, Naruto's life is far from being simple. He and all of his men are forced to spend way too much time away from their beloved families just to make sure that they can live in peace. Adding to their troubles, are their kids who are far from being as noble as they used to be at their age. Naruto's own son, Boruto, is quite the trouble maker who, for some reason, hates being known as the son of Kokage and wishes to make a name for himself.
To find his own path and identity, Boruto fights evil in and around his village in his own ways and seems to have the kind of charm that his father once had at his age. And just like Naruto, throughout his journey, Boruto also ends up making several friends and foes, whilst learning some crucial lessons about life.
In episode 142, titled "A Test of Guts", Boruto and his allies try to figure out a way to get into the same prison cell as Kokuri. But the head guard, Penga, keeps getting in their way all the time and they struggle to figure out a way to slip inside the heavily guarded prison. To work their way around this, Boruto and all the others try to get in touch with Doragu who is the headman of the prison's group. Doragu agrees to help them but in return, he also expects them to go through a "test of guts". And it turns out that out of all the prisoners who have previously gone through this test, none have been able to successfully pass it. So will Boruto and his comrades have what it takes to get through it?

Draft Bernie? Democratic Party Takeover? Strategic Concerns Paramount at People's Summit
Because criticizing the Democrats and ditching them are two entirely different things
by Medea Benjamin
U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) (Photo: Gage Skidmore/flickr/cc)
Even if you attended the 4,000-strong Peoples Summit in Chicago on June 9-11 organized by folks from the Bernie Sanders campaign and National Nurses United (NNU), you might have missed the most significant moment of the gathering. It was a seemingly offhand comment made by NNU Executive Director RoseAnn DeMoro during the Saturday evening session when Bernie Sanders spoke to an adoring crowd, but a comment that adds kindling to a potential 2020 fire.
The audience in the packed Chicago theater included volunteers for a new effort called Draft Bernie for a People's Party. They waved Draft Bernie signs and throughout Sanders' speech, urged him to launch a new party.
The group is made up mainly of young staff and volunteers who worked on the Sanders campaign but were so disillusioned by the Democratic Party that they are determined to start a new one. They are sympathetic to and want to collaborate with the Green Party and other existing third parties, but they want a new, fresh progressive party like the European ones that captured the public imagination and made sweeping gains. While their focus right now is getting Sanders on board, they say they'll build a People's Party even if he refuses to join.
At the end of Sanders' rousing address at the Summit, he was joined on stage by his wife, Jane Sanders, whose Sanders Institute was launched this weekend, and by NNU's RoseAnn DeMoro. DeMoro looked directly at the Draft Bernie people in the audience and grinned. "We're going to take a few questions but I want to thank all the Draft Bernie people here," she said. Then came the zinger. "I'm with you," she added, as she turned around to look at Bernie and his wife. Then she pivoted back to the audience, "Nurses, are we with them?" As they roared their approval, DeMoro turned to Sanders again. "I always say: 'heroes aren't made, they're cornered."
"It was amazing," said Nick Brana, Draft Bernie founder, who was former national political outreach coordinator for Bernie 2016 and former electoral manager for Our Revolution. "We knew that RoseAnn was supportive but had no idea that she would announce that support publicly, on stage, with Bernie Sanders standing next to her and in front of thousands of cheering fans."
I don't think most people in the audience realized the potential significance of the DeMoro's endorsement. Her union has about 150,000 members and spent about $1 million on the Sanders campaign. It's one of only six national unions that backed Bernie Sanders for president. Under DeMoro's leadership, the nurses have become heavyweights in the progressive world, championing everything from universal single payer healthcare to a Wall Street tax to pay for free college education. Just imagine if DeMoro could get her whole union to back a new party, and leverage that to get other unions and progressive institutions on board.
Throughout the summit, speaker after speaker railed against the Democratic Party. TV personality Van Jones trashed Hillary Clinton's campaign for failing to connect to working-class and minority voters. "Let's be honest," Jones shouted. "They took a billion dollars, a billion dollars, a billion dollars, set it on fire, and called it a campaign!" Author Thomas Frank said Democrats signed off on Wall Street bailouts, mass incarceration, and the Iraq War, giving up everything the party supposedly stood for. Former State Senator Nina Turner, who had the crowd on their feet during her entire speech, said the Democrats would have to follow the people to the left, or they'd be left behind.
But criticizing the Democrats and ditching them are two entirely different things. There are certainly sincere leaders still determined to change the party from within. The Summit heard from Congressman Mark Pocan, a progressive champion who was recently elected co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. And most of the Summit was focused on getting more leftist Democrats elected, from former NAACP head Ben Jealous running for Maryland governor to the dozens of attendees running for city councils and state houses.
Getting Bernie Sanders to break with the Democrats is a long, long, long shot. And even if he agreed, creating an effective third party in the US "winner-take-all" electoral system is a treacherous path littered with dead bodies, from Ross Perot's Americans Elect to the Tony Mazzochi's US Labor Party.
But for those who see the Democratic Party as unfixable and the existing third parties as ineffective, what have they got to lose?

The Forest Garden Discovery Trail starts from a blue badge only Pandy car park by the side of the Afon Babi.
From Pandy car park: Follow the green waymarkers down to the welcome board by the bridge over the Afon Babi. Cross the bridge to discover our tree collection from all around the world. The garden is crisscrossed with a series of formal and informal tracks, some steep and uneven, but there are no steps or stiles. Follow our special fascinating tree-facts posts for a suggested route.
We have a disabled only car park back towards the bridge (see welcome board) for using with the all-ability trail. The trail crosses the bridge and follows the river through the lower part of the forest garden to a viewpoint overlooking the waterfall. Here you can hear the story of Pont-Llam-yr-Ewig – Bridge of the Stag's Leap, using our special wind-up box. The trail is built to all ability standards with an easy gradient and is suitable for wheelchair users.


In the morning Chris had to run back to the town to buy a bit more food while Chris and I lounged on the pretty lakeshore and sorted out a place to leave the gear we didn't want to tramp with.
When Chris returned we were finally ready to set off. The place was buzzing with tourists, and the first part of the trail was jammed with people. We stopped at the most delicously green river. Noone was swimming. Why not when it was so hot and the water so green we asked?
On second thoughts, after we threw ourselves into the ice cold water and came out squeeling, we could see why.
After that malachy we faced the serious buisiness of a 500m climb straight out of the valley up a wide ledge on the cliff face. This was rather a grunt given our very heavy packs....luckily mine seemed to grow some little wings and waft up the cliff right beside Chris.
At the lake I put my immense pack back on! Or was it mine???
In the morning we slinked back onto the track and continued up valley to a high lake and very pretty hut (Zasavska Koca). Cris was miserable because of the situation with food - not enough! Chris came bounding out of the hut jumping for joy, he had a delicious apple strudel and home baked bread. Sometimes these fancy huts are good!
From the hut we climbed off the beaten track to a saddle, then descended and made our way along the first 'via ferrata' section of our route.
We sidled along a tiny ledge on a huge cliff face, with loose rock and no protection. The 'via ferrata' element of the route was kind of missing, but the scary factor and the massive drops were there....hmmmm?
We loved it though. After a few hours we whooped our way down a final snow slope and back onto the easy trail. Looking back towards the cliff face we had sidled was impressive, it was hard to see how on earth you could walk along that.
Back to the easier path at last!
We descended, then reascended yet another saddle. We took a break, it was now 7pm and it had been a very long day. Beneath us was a foresty valley and a bivouac (Bivak pod Luknjo). We wandered past the bivouac in the vague offchance we could stay there - only to discover a very friendly large group of dutch people who said there was plenty of space and it was free! Sweet!
The next morning we got up early - we wanted to climb Triglav (2864) - the highest mountain in Slovenia. We planned to go up the trail that rose straight out of the valley, then descend via the ridge which was supposed to be the trickiest route.
The ascent was super speedy, I was trying to keep up with those boys and the route climbed very steeply up easy rocks, so you could ascend very rapidly like a monkey using arms and legs. Up up up we went, passing some people along the way, till we crested the ridge and were in the morning sun.
We continued on past the Triglavski Dom, then up the very busy and exposed track to the peak. The drops were impressive, but it was very straightforward. By 11 o'clock we were on the summit. Chris got in some trouble from a grumpy Slovenian for climbing on the trig on the top.
The descent proved a lot more exciting. It started off as a relatively broad ridge, but got progressively steeper and more knife like as you descended. The most difficult part was large sections with no via ferrata bolts, but loose rock and a massive drop, so you had to be very careful down climbing!
Those little dots are people. The intersection of tracks is the saddle point we visited three times.
After quite a few hours of sweating our way down the ridge we made it to the saddle point from where it was a very easy descent back to our happy little bivouac. We perfected the art of the 'bottle shower' that afternoon.
Our last day had arrived and the weather had deteriorated a bit. Feeling a bit knackered we climbed back to the saddle for the final time, then climbed over Bomski Gamsovec (2392) via a very easy section of via ferrata. We had a cook up on a scree slope and spotted a great flock of ibex who trotted across the cliffs like they were flat!
After a final climb we descended a very steep bolted section into a lower valley. With heavy packs it was exciting, especially when I nearly killed Cris by sending a rock hurtling towards him. Just as well I had my super duper yellow helmet! (And that he had his pukey green one too I suppose).
Tired, we wandered back into the green forest. We reached some farms and the main river, before finding a secluded spot in the forest to pitch our tents. A quick dip in the river was wonderful, followed by a yummy dinner and comfy bed.
We woke in the morning to another sunny day, and walked the pleasant hour further out to Kranjska Gora. Near the town we discovered some crystal clear lakes and did what we always do - jumped in!
Kranjska Gora is a very touristy, but very pretty town. Cris realized he biked through there in 2007 on his cycle touring trip. A local patisserie provided us with some delicious cakes and breads which we howed into before climbing on the bus which would take us back to Jesenice where we had started our journey 6 days earlier.
In Jesenice Chris made an impressivly connected hitch hiking trip back to Bohinj to get the gear we had left there. Afterwards we ate out at a restaurant in Jesenice, which really is a pretty horrible boy racer town.
At 10pm we caught the overnight train that would take us to Schwyz in Swizerland for the next phase of our adventure - the Swiss Orienteering Week. We left Slovenia sadly, it really is a beautiful and friendly country with some fantastic dolmite style mountains and it has nice cheap beer!
Nice helmet! Definitely the right choice. But no nudey swims this time?
Really nice photos! It makes me wanna go there right away!
It seems you had luck with the weather. A single thunderstorm is still a good average for a week those parts.
Seeing a flock of ibex is really something! Watching them trot along the cliffs with such an ease wearing those huge horns is just surreal. It looks like they even use them for balancing themselves.
I hope you have a chance to return to Slovenia again.

2017 $20 Breaching Whale - Pure Silve...
2017 $20 Breaching Whale - Pure Silver Coin
In the waters off Canada's coasts, the sudden apparition of a breaching whale is a powerful sight to behold. Twisting and arching as it soars through the air, the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) puts on a spectacular display that is beautifully recreated on this fine silver coin. Let yourself be captivated by the sight of a humpback whale as it launches itself out of its engraved environment and beyond the coin's surface!
The reverse design by Canadian artist Matt Bowen features a three-dimensional depiction of a breaching humpback whale in all of its breathtaking splendour. Engraved in outstanding detail, the background depicts the waters off Canada's coastline, where a lighthouse can be found on the headland rocks in the distance. The surface of the ocean is itself filled with magnificent detail, alternating between soft waves and the smooth ripples caused by the whale's sudden emergence. But the star of the show is undeniably the whale itself: fashioned through a thermoforming process, the embossed whale stirs up foamy waves and a stream of ocean spray as it launches itself almost clear out of the water! Colour highlights the rough textural details along its tremendous pectoral fins, as well as the distinctive pumps on its head and neck. Throughout the reverse, light is cleverly conveyed by the coin's silver surface, which shines like sunlight on a bright summer day.
Artistic fusion of new technology and skillful engraving: This inventive approach incorporates a unique printing and embossing process that brings unprecedented dimension to the beautifully engraved design. The design is brimming with texture and details, from the embossed bumps on the 3D whale, to the artistically engraved ripples along the surface of the water. An outstanding addition to any collection, be it nature-, maritime-, wildlife-, or Canadiana-themed.

The forehead protector headbands worn by most shinobi are engraved with the symbol of their Hidden Village and serve as a sign of pride and fealty to their hometown. Of course, not every shinobi is compelled to wear theirs on their forehead, despite the name - these headbands have been worn as hair bands, as bandanas, as a makeshift eye-patch, around the neck, on the upper arm, on the chest, on an undershirt, as a belt, and... on a gourd. Someone tell Gaara that when we use the word "gourd" to mean "head," we're not being literal!
You can wear this Hidden Leaf Village anywhere you like, though it really does work best as a headband. But hey, how you want to show your loyalty to the village is really up to you. Even if that means putting a headband on a gourd... we guess.

Intel's €80bn European chip plant investment plan not bound for UK because Brexit
Promise to become 'a science and technology superpower' not cutting much ice with Chipzilla
Lindsay Clark Thu 7 Oct 2021 // 11:36 UTC
Intel is cutting the UK out of its European expansion plans based on the nation's decision to leave the EU, the world's biggest political and trading bloc.
While the government voices ambitions for a high-value tech-based economy, Chipzilla has other plans.
Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger told the BBC this morning that the $77bn-revenue hardware giant would have considered the UK as a site for a new chip factory before it took the decision to leave the European Union.
But he added: "Post-Brexit... we're looking at EU countries and getting support from the EU."
Earlier this year, Gelsinger said the company was looking to invest up to €80bn (£68.8bn, $94.7bn) in semiconductor fabs in Europe to increase capacity over the next decade. It is understood that the vendor will be seeking government subsidies.
The company's existing Ireland factory would start making semiconductor components for cars.
He said Intel was planning to expand its chip manufacturing operations in Europe amid the global semiconductor shortage, and considering building factories in France, Germany, Belgium, Poland, or the Netherlands.
In April, Gelsinger reportedly told Politico he was seeking an €8bn ($9.5bn) subsidy due to the high cost of manufacturing in Europe. "What we're asking from both the US and the European governments is to make it competitive for us to do it here compared to in Asia," he said. (Intel has since denied any specific figure was mentioned in the interview.)
Samsung to sling 2nm silicon in 2025, 3nm process running a little late
Memory maker Micron offers hope for PC parts supply returning 'in the coming months'
Chip glut might start in 2023, says IDC, and auto-chip traffic jam could clear this year
Intel: 'Another one to two years before the industry is able to completely catch up with demand'
Launched in March, the UK's Build Back Better plan for growth focused on technology. "We will make our country a science and technology superpower," promised Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
But Gelsinger clearly has other priorities when it comes to spending his company's money.
Speaking about the decision to explore sites within the EU rather than the UK, he said: "I have no idea whether we would have had a superior site from the UK," he said. "But we now have about 70 proposals for sites across Europe from maybe 10 different countries.
"We're hopeful that we'll get to an agreement on a site, as well as support from the EU... before the end of this year."
Meanwhile, Gelsinger said semiconductor supply constraints – which have hit production in both computer and automotive industries – were set to carry on into Christmas.
"There is some possibility that there may be a few IOUs under the Christmas trees around the world this year," he said. "Just everything is short right now. And even as I and my peers in the industry are working like crazy to catch up, it's going to be a while."
The European Commission plans to boost production of "cutting-edge and sustainable semiconductors" in Europe to 20 per cent of global output by 2030, up from the current 10 per cent, according to its Digital Compass initiative.
Rival chipmaker TSMC has apparently started construction of several plants in Arizona and said in an earnings call earlier this year it "expects to invest about $100bn through the next three years to increase capacity to support the manufacturing and R&D of leading edge and specialty technologies."
US president Joe Biden signed an executive order in February to identify supply chains snarl-ups, and has backed a bill to spend $50bn in chip R&D and manufacturing in the US. ®

Whoa busy week is busy! I have a lot of drawings I want to upload from MangaNEXT last weekend, the favorite being a commissioned sketchbook and a Stingmon commission. Hopefully they will be up within the weekend, because I want to show them and they were fun to do!


The Killface is a Bass-tuned version of our popular Kingdom overdrive, a transparent overdrive that adds unicorns and fairy dust to your signal. Joking aside, it really brings to life your guitar and your tube amplifier in ways you've never experienced.
The Killface isn't quite a Klone in the strictest sense. The circuit design is very similar to the original Klon Centaur and retains many of its characteristics while including some enhancements. Unlike the Klon, the entire audio chain is run on a higher voltage spread allowing for more headroom. A clipping switch has been added to allow for different hard clipping options. An overdrive switch allows you to add soft clipping to the feedback path of the IC, allowing for earlier and smoother breakup. Finally, the true-bypass footswitch allows you to keep your signal chain completely clean when its not engaged.

A Pretentious Takedown of Middlebrow Cinema
This is going to be pretentious.
The end of the year usually produces a swarm of movies as studios throw out everything that could possibly win an award. The summer is known for its blockbusters–large and loud movies, with big time actors attached to them–the end of the fall to the winter emphasizes darker stories with artsier and riskier looks and content. This is an exciting time for me, usually overwhelming (I literally make long lists of notes of which movies I should see, where I will–and can–see them, and how I can afford to see so many movies without breaking the budget) and filled with a lot of great movies. But the studios aren't dumb, there are strategies in place–why and when a movie should get released. The awards ceremonies are usually more generous to give out awards to those that come out later in the year–they have a strange sense of film amnesia where the first seven months barely count and so studios release films accordingly. Studios don't really want awards though, I'm sure there is some sense of pride for a studio releasing an award winner, but the sense of pride does not outweigh their number one motivator: money.
The studio system's whole purpose is to make money, thus they try to find films that will win the awards, because movies that win awards, particularly the big ones, attract a bigger audience even if they tend to be edgier. The ads show this all the time, big golden text lines the top of the film saying "nominated for seven Academy Awards, four Golden Globes, three Independent Spirit Awards, nine BAFTAS, and the MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss". Awards are the reasons why studios push for artsy movies, not for artistry's sake, but to gain a large crowd on a smaller budget.
This is fine, it's going to happen, but when this is the case it creates the need to mimic what has come in the past. There is a certain style of Oscar movie usually involving some sort of liberal, edgy topic, an actor losing a lot of weight for the role or an actress not wearing any makeup. These are sort of emulated year after year in hopes that people will jump on board.
That's the thing, these movies are created to fit into a certain sort of mold, when they are actually quite safe and seem methodologically produced to trick people into thinking they are seeing something important. These films come off as being really out of the box, creative, and dramatic, but really they're not. This year's version of these movies are two British biopics about important historical figures–The Theory of Everything and The Imitation Game–both are period pieces, have lower budgets, and a good cast, but also seem to fall into every trope you can imagine for these films. In year's past The King's Speech, The Artist, The Help, The Blind Side, and Dallas Buyers Club all gave this vibe–important movies about history, race, or some other marginalized group. Most of these films are actually fine, they are pleasant tales and I would be fine with this if people didn't feel like they had done some sort of cinematic duty by seeing it.
People know that I like movies, so I often get asked about which movies are good and whether I've seen [blank]. But the movies that often rise to the top as being depictions of cinema or indie films or whatever are these middlebrow, faux-artsy films that seem to somehow suck in people whose last movie in theaters had been the fourth Transformers movie. There is no challenge to them at all, but they are advertised as life-changing cinematic experiences.
Alright, enough of the complaining–people are gonna watch what they are gonna watch and I'm not very likely to recommend Under the Skin (my favorite movie of this year) to very many people, because I truly believe they will not like it. Let's just not let the studios do this to us, we're manipulated enough already. If you want to see something to impress people who like movies or those at your Oscar party make sure you see Boyhood (likely the best picture winner and a fantastic portrayal of a boy's life), Selma (one of the best biopics ever probably), or Whiplash (an intense movie about a drummer that I think has the potential to be a real crowd please and features future best supporting actor winner JK Simmons).

$1 million fund established to combat antisemitism
WJCT News
David Miller, founder of Brightway Insurance.
In response to rising hate speech, a $1 million fund has been established to combat antisemitism in the Jacksonville area.
The Together Strong Community Fund, established by business executive David Miller and the Miller families, will address the root causes of bias through "education, conversation and interaction," according to an announcement from the Jewish Federation & Foundation of Northeast Florida.
The donation is the largest charitable gift in the federation's history.
"My family is fiercely devoted to the greater Jacksonville community, and we see this as an opportunity to show each other and the world that Jacksonville is better than the rogue comments of a misguided few," Miller, co-founder of Brightway Insurance, said in a news release.
"The time is now to forge alliances and promote education so everyone in our community can reach their personal potential in a just and equitable society that we are proud to call our home," he said.
The announcement came days after someone displayed antisemitic statements on highway overpasses, a Downtown apartment building and TIAA Bank Field during the annual Florida-Georgia football game.
The Together Strong Community Fund is in addition to the Miller families' recent $1 million gift to the Jewish Community Alliance's upcoming capital campaign.
The new fund also will augment short-term security initiatives in the Jewish community as well as support creation of the Jewish Community Relations Council and contribute to the work of OneJax, an institute at the University of South Florida that promotes diversity.
"We are exceptionally grateful to David and the Miller families for this powerful commitment to the protection of the Jewish community, and we are deeply moved by their desire to bring their message of hope and opportunity to the wider community so that we may all benefit from greater tolerance and understanding," said Mariam Feist, CEO of Jewish Federation & Foundation of Northeast Florida.
For more information, contact Feist at mariamf@jewishjacksonville.org or 904-224-1410, or Kellie Smith, foundation director, at kelliek@jewishjacksonville.org or 904-512-3796.

Avengers: Endgame Review: A Film Only Marvel Could Have Made [No Spoilers]
By Akhil Arora | Updated: 26 April 2019 13:34 IST
Photo Credit: Disney/Marvel Studios
Our Avengers: Endgame movie review is here. The film features Chris Evans as Captain America
Avengers: Endgame is out now in cinemas worldwide
Picks up shortly after where Infinity War left off
Avengers: Endgame is the final film for the original six in The Avengers
This time last year, Avengers: Infinity War shifted the Marvel Cinematic Universe by introducing something it had been mostly lacking in: stakes. Set aside the power of the Infinity Stones that Thanos (Josh Brolin) collectively used to wipe out half of all life in the universe at the end of the film, every punch and kick delivered by the purple giant — and his capable minions — carried a real sense of threat throughout. Vulnerable, always a step behind, and ultimately over-powered, the titular team of superheroes and their allies were dealt a heavy loss. As its direct follow-up, Avengers: Endgame picks up on the natural next step after a defeat — reflection and grief. Here's our Avengers: Endgame review.
For Marvel fans, it's clear that the in-movie universe must return to a semblance of normalcy, for the studios involved need this ever-expanding project to live long and prosper. (Pardon the cross-fandom reference.) But Avengers: Endgame has time on its side — yes, it's the longest Marvel film ever with a runtime of 181 minutes — before it must bother putting things back in order. As such, it can take its own sweet time in letting the remaining ones process their emotions as they deal with the fallout of Infinity War. Failure isn't something they are used to — they aren't just heroes, they are superheroes — and this particular one has a special bitter taste to it.
No spoilers ahead, although there are mild suggestions and veiled references that Marvel diehards might wish to avoid. If you prefer to go in completely blind, come back after you've seen the film.
Avengers: Endgame Smashes Records in Global Launch
The entire first act of Avengers: Endgame gives us a peek at what coping looks for the original band of Avengers, who were conveniently left untouched by the universe-altering snap of Thanos' fingers. (It's impossible to properly talk about Avengers: Endgame without giving anything away, so we'll stick to vague descriptions.) Blaming others, some have ventured towards a peaceful existence while some are taking it out on the world, some are living in denial while asking others to move on, some wallow in their failure and do their best to serve the best they can, and others have virtually given up and let life take its course. Except for the last stage — acceptance — in the five stages of grief, all are accounted for here.
Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark / Iron Man in Avengers: Endgame
These scenes allow the actors to reach into a different side of their characters, which in turn expands our understanding of them and deepens how we feel about and for them. But thanks to its runtime, Avengers: Endgame can do a lot more than just that. It has a three-act structure like most films, but it can also be viewed as three movies in one. The first one offering a meditative reflection on grief and loss, the second giving them hope to get back up and come up with a plan, and a final third that delivers bucket-loads of fan service in true comic book-style fashion. Avengers: Endgame needs the three-hour runtime to honour all that, and along the way, it earns that crazy length.
Avengers: Endgame Full Movie Leaked on Torrent Sites, Piracy Networks
Avengers: Endgame is also several films in one because of how it's meant to serve as a farewell tour for the original gang of six who headlined The Avengers: Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr.), Thor (Chris Hemsworth), Captain America (Chris Evans), the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo), Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner). Since it's the final chapter for most, Avengers: Endgame is naturally built around them, so it can tie up and put a bow on their standalone arcs. And it delivers on most accounts, with a couple of tragic deaths, a dose of wish fulfilment, and even a possible tease of an enticing future. That does mean other characters, War Machine (Don Cheadle), Ant-Man (Paul Rudd) and Rocket (Bradley Cooper), aren't as well-serviced, others like Nebula (Karen Gillan) merely serve the plot, while the likes of Captain Marvel (Brie Larson) barely feature.
For what it's worth, that reduced focus allows Avengers: Endgame to go deep with most. It's testament to the directors Anthony and Joe Russo, working off a script by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely — the team of four have previously given us Infinity War, in addition to the Captain America chapters The Winter Soldier and Civil War — that the film balances its many elements. Avengers: Endgame will alternately make you shed tears, giddy at the possibilities, excited for what's coming, whoop when you witness it, and nostalgic for the MCU past. It succeeds in mixing the dramatic and the comedic moments, which serve to complement each other, while delivering some whole-hearted entertainment.
Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff / Black Widow in Avengers: Endgame
Interestingly, for a blockbuster franchise centred on individuals with varying abilities, the action in Avengers: Endgame — at least for most of its runtime — comes in spurts. It stitches together the convoluted narrative that makes up the Avengers' newest mission, which is more about stealth than all-out warfare. But one constant in Avengers: Endgame's action is the sheer fan service, which partly relies on foreshadowing, unexpected happenings, and an assemblage of female characters who haven't been given their due share — only two, the Wasp (Evangeline Lily) and Captain Marvel, have ever been part of a film's title yet and only one, the latter, has a solo film — which only serves to highlight one of the problems with Marvel's first decade.
Avengers: Endgame Has No Post-Credits Scenes
Even then, the film always earns its moments. And that's the biggest thing about Avengers: Endgame. Marvel has put the work in to earn what it brings to the table here. Every piece of it connects to the past in one way or another, which helps the film and enriches the original work too. The writers have infused their script with payoffs that traverse the history of the Marvel universe, on the back of unexpected reunions and poignant meetings that help craft several emotional moments. And it builds on what we've seen before, like Iron Man and Captain America's dynamic from Civil War, Thor and Hulk's relationship from Ragnarok, and Hawkeye and Black Widow's personal history that has seen the two help each other through their worst.
So much of it works because we've lived with these characters, having been first introduced to some of them a decade ago. And by having brought them together over the years, Marvel has strengthened the bonds between them, which now serves Avengers: Endgame. The Infinity Stones mostly came off as gimmicks whenever they showed up, in the likes of The Avengers, Thor: The Dark World, Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Doctor Strange. But thanks to those breadcrumbs, even the terrible parts become useful and are much more resonant in Avengers: Endgame, which also stands on the shoulders of a few giants as it goes about its narrative work. Now, everything is part of a whole that's greater than the sum of its parts.
Chris Hemsworth as Thor in Avengers: Endgame
That's also why Avengers: Endgame is simply not meant for newcomers. While Infinity War was more welcoming and could be enjoyed by those who had only seen half a dozen Marvel entries, Avengers: Endgame references and touches upon a lot further into the back catalogue. The film does its best to explain away those moments for those that haven't seen the prior adventures, but admittedly, they work a lot better as call-backs and winks to the audience. Avengers: Endgame is then clearly a love letter to the existing fanbase, which at times feels like a reminder of the wonderful moments the MCU has given us. That said, it's never gratuitous — the inclusion is justified in its importance to the overall narrative.
In celebrating the past, Avengers: Endgame does more than just help bid goodbye to the original gang, some of whom pass the torch to the next generation before they walk off into the sunset. (After all, Marvel has the future to think of.) It allows the audience to reflect on their own emotions as well, for how the superheroes speak to them about responsibility, teamwork, and love among other things. Avengers: Endgame is the culmination of what is ultimately a blockbuster TV show on the big screen. The MCU is unique in what it has achieved here, and it makes you wonder if Marvel itself, let alone someone else, can create something like this again. For the time being, it leaves diehards with many questions for what's to come and how the universe will proceed after such a seismic event.
Avengers: Endgame is out now in theatres worldwide. There are no scenes during the credits.
product Avengers: Endgame — now released in India — sees Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and others set out to undo what Thanos did in Infinity War. It's the culmination of the first 21 films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Here's our spoiler-free Avengers: Endgame review.

Home International Rea: 2016 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Champion
Rea: 2016 MOTUL FIM Superbike World Champion
Rea celebrates his second World Number One!
They say it's the luck of the Irish but Jonathan Rea will tell you once a champion, always a champion. Kawasaki Racing Team's Jonathan Rea became the 2016 Superbike World Champion for an incredible second consecutive time on Saturday 29th of October as the Kawasaki rider sealed the deal in Race 1 at the Losail International Circuit by finishing second ahead of his Championship rival teammate Tom Sykes.
Hailing from Northern Ireland, Jonathan Rea began his racing career in MotoX, where he was British Runner up of the 60cc class in 1997 before making a switch to road racing in 2003.
After a brief but successful stint in British Superbikes Rea stepped up to WorldSSP with Ten Kate Honda in 2008, where his first win came at Brno and followed through with wins again at Brands Hatch and Vallelunga. Rea's progress was quick but his sights were set on WorldSBK, and he made the leap to the top the following year.
Rea's WorldSBK debut in 2009 saw him ride for Hannspree Ten Kate Honda, a season that was scattered with podiums and wins. This was the story for his next two years with the Honda team, but he always just fell short of the Championship. In 2015, the then 28-year-old made the move to Kawasaki Racing Team and won the Championship, dominating the season with 14 wins.
This year Rea's title defence campaign began with a double win at the opening round in Phillip Island, proving to his contenders that stealing the crown from him would be hard work. He didn't have long to wait for his next win, which came at Round 2 in Thailand in Race 1. But Race 2 saw his teammate Tom Sykes step up and challenge for the title with a win, while Rea finished second.
The next two races at Aragon was the beginning of a fierce competition for the 2016 Crown between the two Kawasaki teammates. Rea's second saw him finish one position ahead of Sykes in Race 1, while Race 2 saw their results alternate. Rea had two strong weekends at Assen and Imola, in which he finished ahead of Sykes as he won the double again in Round 4, followed by two seconds in Italy.
Sepang and Donington saw Sykes come out victorious over Rea, but the reigning World Champion came back in Misano with another double to further increase his lead in the Championship. In America, Rea was the man to beat but Sunday saw him crash out of the race while his main rival Tom Sykes won, adding 25 points against him.
Then in Germany, Rea took the win once again in Race 2, bouncing back from a crash in a dramatic Race 1.
Magny-Cours saw Rea take pole, but Sykes had the advantage over him in the first race of the weekend when both riders made a pit stop mid-race to change tyres. Sykes eventually climbed onto the podium with Rea just missing out in fourth.
The points gap was slowly closing and Race 2 saw an epic battle between Rea and Sykes for the lead. Eventually, the ferocity of the duel unhinged them and Chaz Davies took advantage to steal the victory, as Rea pushed till the very end to come home in second ahead of his teammate.
Heading into the penultimate Round at Jerez, Rea only needed to increase his overall lead by two more points to take the win, but in Race 1 Sykes came second ahead of the third-placed Northern Irishman. In Race 2 Rea had the advantage in second, while Sykes finished third. By collecting the same points, the gap in the standings remained at 48 points keeping the fight alive until the very last Round.
His crowning came in the heat of the night in Qatar after he fought to keep up with Chaz Davies, who stole the show in first. The Northern Irishman finished second and as a result, secured his second consecutive World Title.
Off the track, Jonathan Rea is a loving husband and the 'best dad in the world' to his sons Jake and Tyler. He's a fan favourite in the WorldSBK paddock with his approachable nature and laid back attitude. He is a true champion in every sense of the word and role model for all.
2017 will see Jonathan Rea attempt to retain his crown for a third time, again with Kawasaki Racing Team.
Race 1 Results, Round 13

Avoiding financial surprises: Free seminar on how to pay for senior living

Seminar to address how to pay for senior living

Education is key when downsizing and planning for senior living

Retirement should hold surprises, but how to pay for senior living–and potentially care expenditures should health decline–shouldn't be one of them.
However, the reality is one in four people age 45 and over are not at all prepared financially should they require long-term care for an indefinite period of time, according to statistics by AARP.
"Paying for senior living doesn't need to be so overwhelming. When you approach this topic with your eyes wide open, paying for senior living is doable for most people," said Nikki Buckelew, owner of Buckelew Realty Group Mature Moves Division with Keller Williams Realty Platinum. "Just know what is available and plan accordingly. People often comment that they wish they had done it sooner."
Buckelew, a certified senior housing professional, will lead a free seminar on Tuesday, March 27 in Yukon, Oklahoma on "How to Pay for Senior Living."
Organized by Spanish Cove Retirement Community, the seminar aims to inform and prepare people so that retirement surprises may never sneak up on them, said Jill Huff, marketing director at Spanish Cove Retirement Village in Yukon.
"Planning is vital," Huff said. "We wish we had a crystal ball and could predict the future, but in reality the best we can do to avoid surprises is to understand our options, the costs involved, the distinct types of over 55+ senior living communities and the available insurance benefits."
The reality often looks different.
"What often happens is that I get a phone call at 2 p.m. on a Friday from a family member whose spouse or parent needs skilled nursing and they are desperate," she said. "They are in crisis mode and what they want may not be available–or they have no idea of how they will pay."
Huff began organizing seminars at Spanish Cove last year and was overwhelmed by the response. Spanish Cove now holds seminars regularly.
"I feel it is so important to educate people and help them understand their options," Huff said.
Buckelew added that often she will speak with prospective clients who appear surprised by the many options available for senior living, as well as the ways to pay for it. Unfortunately, there are also some who are in shock, because they may have underestimated costs or overestimated their savings.
"Many people are simply unprepared," Buckelew said. "They get confused about the differences between Medicare and Medicaid, and often overlook veteran funding sources and new long-term care insurance options."
Huff added that years ago she learned about the available funds associated with a benefit called Veterans Aid and Attendance that can reduce the financial burden associated with assisted living and long-term nursing care.
"A couple who I helped move to Spanish Cove many years ago now needs assisted living, and they are so excited to know about this benefit and how it will help pay for their care," she said. "This couple has a Life Care contract which further reduces the financial burden associated with the rising costs of care. With a Life Care contract, the fees remain stable regardless of the level of care."
"And what happens if you or your spouse needs assisted living, skilled nursing, long-term care or memory care? Do you have to spend down all your assets? How can you leave a financial legacy to your estate?" Huff asked.
Benefits like these will be explained and discussed at the seminar.
Having a game plan
If you haven't discussed post-retirement plans already, now is the time get educated. You can alleviate these worries by learning about your options, Huff said. It's important that people nearing retirement or those who will help them make decisions about senior living arrangements find out which funding sources are available, but more importantly, which ones cover the various levels of care.
Spanish Cove will host the seminar at 10 a.m. Tuesday, March 27 at the Spanish Cove Campus is Yukon. Complimentary lunch will follow and visitors are invited to join tours.
"We really want to present lots of helpful information as early as we can in the decision-making process," Huff said.
Figuring out how to pay for senior living can create stress for people as they begin to consider future needs. For this reason, the seminar panel is comprised of experts that can speak to the myths and realities associated with funding independent, assisted, skilled nursing and long-term nursing care. Covered topics will include government programs, like Medicare, Medicaid and Veterans Aid and Attendance; insurance coverage, such as long-term care insurance, and understanding retirement community contracts, such as Life Care Contracts.
The expert panel will feature Buckelew, Huff, and Steve Romano, founder and current president of Romano Wealth Management, a financial advisory firm. Anna Farha, a coordinator of volunteers for the Medicare Assistance program at the Oklahoma Insurance Department, will also be on the panel. She is a certified Medicare counselor and trains counselors throughout the state on Medicare. Also on the panel will be Russell Fox, lead consultant at Benefits Consulting, a company dedicated to serving veterans and providing valuable information about Veteran Affairs Improved Pension Benefits with Aid and Attendance, a federal assistance program offering monthly support to veterans and their families.
"We all want to do our best to ensure that we have enough money to live life to the fullest for as long as we are able to do so," Huff said. "The reality is, many people are unsure as to whether they have the funds necessary should they need medical care or personal support."
The seminar is free, but attendees must register by calling 405-354-5906. Please RSVP so they can make sure they have enough seating and lunch for all guests.

CommentsAvoiding financial surprises: Free seminar on how to pay for senior living


If you're caring for an older adult or aging parent, there may come a time when you're no longer able to provide the support your loved one needs to live independently. The transition to assisted living can be difficult for everyone involved, even if there is broad agreement with the decision that care at home is no longer possible.
If you are helping a loved one make the move, here are some tips from the Alzheimer's Foundation of America (AFA) to make the transition to assisted living less stressful for both of you.
Unlike a nursing home, which often provides full-time, 24/7 care, an assisted living facility is for someone who can still live independently, but may need some help with daily living tasks. Living areas are usually individual units in a shared complex of apartments, and residents may share meals together in a common dining area.
How do I choose an assisted living facility?
Does the staff have specific training related to your loved one's condition? For Alzheimer's patients, for example, look for a facility that specializes in dementia care.
Is the facility located in a place that makes it convenient for you to visit on a schedule that works for you and your loved one?
Will the assisted living facility meet your loved one's medical, emotional, and social needs?
What kind of medical assistance is provided? How will the facility staff members coordinate with your loved one's doctor and health-care team?
What kind of amenities are provided? Does the facility include meals? Are there recreational or social activities available?
Remember, it's always a good idea to visit the assisted living facility in person, if possible. This will give you an opportunity to meet the staff and ask any questions you may have in person.
If your loved one needs more full-time support, you might consider other long-term care options. The Medicare.gov website has a Nursing Home Compare tool that helps you find nursing homes and other long-term care facilities in your location. Each facility is given a rating based on staff levels, health inspections, as well as overall quality. You can even filter your search to find facilities that accept Medicare or Medicaid.
How do I prepare for moving day into the assisted living facility?
Even if all parties are in agreement, the actual move can be emotionally difficult. The AFA offers a few suggestions to help your loved one mentally prepare for the transition to an assisted living facility.
Give your loved one plenty of time to talk to you about his or her emotions surrounding the move. Be understanding of feelings of sadness or fear and provide reassurance. Share your planned visitation schedule so your loved one knows that you will be there on a regular basis.
Take time to prepare the new room in advance of your loved one's arrival. Arrange familiar items in a way that recreates a favorite space in the home. Don't forget to label all of the clothes and personal belongings you bring to the assisted living facility.
Plan to spend moving day with your loved one to help him or her get adjusted. If you can, stay and have dinner together before you leave to ease the transition.
What should I do on moving day to help the transition to assisted living?
Your loved one will likely have many different emotions on moving day and may feel overwhelmed and confused. He or she may even take cues from your emotional state during the process, according to the AFA. Be calm and reassuring and let your loved one share his or her fears and concerns. Remember, it may take a few days or weeks for complete adjustment.
Introduce your loved one to the staff at the assisted living center and ask if they might give your family member a little extra attention and kindness during the first few days.
Request that each shift introduce your loved one to the staff member who will be caring for them during the next shift. Make sure your family member understands how to contact staff if needed.
Share any special information you want the staff to know that may help them better care for your loved one, including personal preferences or favorite hobbies or activities. Provide as much input or guidance as needed so your loved one will feel at home.
Plan to visit a bit more frequently the first few days and weeks if possible; if you are unable to visit, check in regularly by phone with the staff and your loved one.
Don't forget to care for yourself and your own emotional needs during this time of transition to assisted living. Call on friends and family members or look for a support group for others in your situation. You can better advocate for your loved one when you feel positive and your own needs are being met.
Please note that if your loved one has Medicare, he or she will continue to have access to the same hospital and medical care even after moving into the assisted living facility; I can help you understand how this works and what the coverage options may be.

The Picture That Reminds Us of What We Could Be
Posted on September 25, 2017 December 6, 2018 by Bob Hammitt
One year ago today, September 24, 2016 the National Museum of African American History and Culture was opened. At it, a picture was taken that captured the hearts of America. Squarely in the middle of a heated and contentious election campaign, it showed an African American First Lady and former caucasian President sharing a tender embrace. They looked like two old friends comforted and happy to be sharing a special moment. They were. In addition to warming our hearts, it should also teach us. Two people from different backgrounds, ethnicities, philosophies, and political parties can still be good friends.
The friendship began in December of 2008 when the Obama family, including young daughters Sasha and Malia travelled to Washington D.C. to take a tour of their new home, the White House. George W. Bush is the son of a man who was once Senator, Director of the C.I.A., Vice President, and President. With two daughters of his own, he understood very well how the Obama girls might be feeling nervous and intimidated by moving into the hallowed house. He knelt down to greet the girls, who were then seven and ten years old, reached out his hand, and asked them if they would like a tour. He guided them around, introducing them to staff, and showing them the ins and outs of their new home. Michelle Obama is many things, but she is first a mother. When she saw her daughters being tenderly cared for, she instantly developed a soft spot for the former President.

In the years that followed, the First Lady and Former President would see each other at various events like funerals and dedications, talking to each other every time. Their unlikely friendship grew with every meeting. They laughed at each other's jokes, and now even send each other cute pictures of their pets. When they hugged at the opening of the museum, it was far from the first time.

Americans are constantly thinking about a place they would rather be. Sometimes that place is physical, but in this case it is spiritual. As we fight and insult each other all too often over things like how we feel about football players taking a knee during the national anthem, and we yearn to go back to a place where we can just lose ourselves in the arms of a friend without caring about who they voted for. We can get to that place by taking a road paved with respect and kindness, and a willingness to focus on the things that unite us.
THE STORY GETS BETTER:
The version of the picture that went viral a year ago was too narrow, and didn't tell the full story. Another great part was cut out: the man on the left at the back of the stage, Congressman John Lewis. He is the man who has done more than perhaps any other living American to make a moment where Michelle Obama and George W. Bush could embrace on the steps of the Museum of African American Culture and History possible.

During the melee, his skull was fractured.

He came back and led the march over the bridge again a few days later.
It is the John Lewis that lived through a time when President John F. Kennedy was murdered five months after introducing a civil rights bill, and when his friend and mentor Dr. Martin Luther King was murdered five years later. It is the John Lewis that was with Robert F. Kennedy in a hotel room in Los Angeles, moments before he too was murdered.
John Lewis is now in serving his 30th year as a Congressman from Georgia. A year ago he looked on at the President and former First Lady and saw an all too rare and brief glimpse of the world he has spent his life trying to create. One where people focus on things like their common love for children, rather than their political party or the color of their skin.
It is always better when you see the big picture, and the story is always fuller when you know the history.

Trump lies about British intelligence agency spying on Trump Tower for Obama and refuses to apologize
It just gets worse. Trump continues to inflame his false wiretapping claims against Obama, refusing to back down or apologize despite both GOP and Democratic leaders in both houses of congress rebuking him.
On Friday, Trump provoked a public dispute with America's closest ally after the White House aired an explosive and unsubstantiated claim that Britain's spy agency had secretly eavesdropped on him at the behest of President Barack Obama during last year's campaign.
Livid British officials adamantly denied the allegation and secured promises from senior White House officials never to repeat it. But a defiant Trump refused to back down, making clear that the White House had nothing to retract or apologize for because his spokesman had simply repeated an assertion made by a Fox News commentator. Fox itself later disavowed the report.
The angry response from Britain stemmed from Trump's persistence in accusing Obama of tapping his phones last year despite the lack of evidence and across-the-board denials. At a briefing on Thursday, Sean Spicer, the White House press secretary, read from a sheaf of news clippings that he suggested bolstered the president's claim.
Among them was an assertion by Andrew Napolitano, a Fox News commentator, that Obama had used Britain's Government Communications Headquarters, the agency known as the GCHQ, to spy on Trump. In response to Spicer, the agency quickly denied it as "nonsense" and "utterly ridiculous," while British officials contacted American counterparts to complain.
"We said nothing," Trump told a German reporter who asked about the matter at a news conference. "All we did was quote a certain very talented legal mind who was the one responsible for saying that on television. I didn't make an opinion on it." He added: "You shouldn't be talking to me. You should be talking to Fox."
After the news conference, Spicer echoed Trump's unapologetic tone. "I don't think we regret anything," he told reporters. "As the president said, I was just reading off media reports."
Shortly afterward, Fox backed off Napolitano's claim. "Fox News cannot confirm Judge Napolitano's commentary," the anchor Shepard Smith said on air. "Fox News knows of no evidence of any kind that the now president of the United States was surveilled at any time, any way. Full stop."
White House officials, who also requested anonymity, said Spicer had offered no regret to the British ambassador. "He didn't apologize, no way, no how," a senior West Wing official said.
The furor underscored the continuing troubles for the White House since Trump first accused Mr. Obama of tapping his phones, an allegation refuted by intelligence agencies as well as Republican and Democratic officials. Even as Trump refused to back down, fellow Republicans appeared increasingly irritated by what they see as a distraction from their policy goals.
Representative Tom Cole of Oklahoma said on Friday that Trump had not proved his case and should apologize to Obama. "Frankly, unless you can produce some pretty compelling truth, I think President Obama is owed an apology," Cole told reporters. "If he didn't do it, we shouldn't be reckless in accusations that he did."
Foreign policy analysts expressed astonishment that Trump would so cavalierly endanger that partnership. "It illustrates the extent to which the White House really doesn't care what damage they do to crucial relationships in order to avoid admitting their dishonesty," said Kori Schake, a former national security aide to President George W. Bush now at Stanford University's Hoover Institution. "America's allies are having to protect themselves against being tarred with the White House's mendacity."
Trump Sticks With Debunked Claim That Obama Spied On Him
Donald Trump is sticking with his claim that President Barack Obama tapped his phones at Trump Tower last year, despite intelligence officials saying there's no evidence that ever happened, according to White House press secretary Sean Spicer.
"He stands by it," Spicer insisted in his Thursday briefing.
There is bipartisan consensus among intelligence leaders that there is no basis for his claims. Sens. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and Mark Warner (D-Va.), the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said in a joint statement Thursday that they "see no indications" that Trump Tower was under government surveillance. House Intelligence Committee chairman Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) also told reporters Wednesday, "We don't have any evidence that that took place."
Asked if Trump will apologize to Obama for accusing him of wiretapping, if he comes to accept that his claims were wrong, Spicer said he wouldn't want to "prejudge where the outcome is."
Trump seems to be going "full birther" on this wiretapping story.
Trump lies about Guantanamo prisoner releases while Spicer adds extra lies
Another day, another outlandish Trump lie. This time compounded by White House Press Secretary Spicer piling it on with additional lies.
On Monday, President Donald Trump tweeted: "122 vicious prisoners, released by the Obama Administration from Gitmo, have returned to the battlefield. Just another terrible decision!"
In fact, the overwhelming majority of those men were actually released under President George W. Bush, not by Barack Obama. Only eight or nine of those "confirmed" to be engaged in terrorist activities transferred out under President Barack Obama, according to recent intelligence reports.
Spicer then defended Bush by telling reporters, "Just to be clear: There's a big difference: under the Bush administration, most of those were court-ordered."
But Spicer's assertion that "most" or "many" of the Bush-era releases were court-ordered is a lie, according to lawyers involved in such cases and to Obama administration officials.
"That's loony. …That's just flat-out not true," said Sabin Willett, a prominent lawyer for Guantanamo detainees. "You can count on one hand, and not even use all your fingers, the number of people a district court ordered released where that was not reversed on appeal."
In fact, no more than three of the 532 Guantanamo detainees transferred out under Bush were moved because they won a court challenge, legal experts said.
"The truth is that Sean Spicer doesn't know what he is talking about and doesn't care enough to take the time to find out," said former Obama White House Counsel Greg Craig, who was deeply involved in Obama's early Guantanamo policy.
And Trump tweets on.
Trump's history of making false claims with no evidence
Trump's latest lie, claiming that Obama wire-tapped Trump Towers before the election, is just the latest in a long history of lies – making wild claims with no basis in fact.
Here are some highlights from the Trump alternative facts universe.
Birtherism
In March 2011, Trump began promoting the idea that Obama wasn't born in the United States, a claim previously confined to fringe right-wing conspiracy theorists. It was a suspicion presented without evidence, and Obama ridiculed Trump for it during the 2011 White House Correspondents Association dinner. Last September, without explaining why, Trump abandoned the claim with a statement: "Mr. Trump believes President Obama was born in the United States."
Voter fraud that made him lose the popular vote
On Nov. 27, Trump tweeted: "In addition to winning the Electoral College, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally." He cited no evidence. He also tweeted that voters from Massachusetts illegally voted in New Hampshire, which caused Trump to lose that state last November. No evidence was found to support that claim either.
His Electoral College win the biggest since 1984
During his Feb. 16 news conference, Trump claimed that his Electoral College win was the biggest since President Ronald Reagan's in 1984, when he carried every state except Minnesota and the District of Columbia. However, election records showed that Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton (two times) and Obama (twice) won higher percentages of the electoral vote than Trump — in five of the seven elections since Reagan won his last.
There was major terrorist attack on Feb. 17 in Sweden
"Look at what happened last night in Sweden," Trump told a crowd in Melbourne, Fla., on Feb. 18.
But no major incident had "happened" in Sweden. Trump had seen a Fox News show making claims about immigrants and crime in Sweden. In response, former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt took to Twitter: "Sweden? Terror attack? What has he been smoking?"
And on and on it goes…
FBI Director Comey Demands Justice Department Reject Trump's Wiretapping Lie
In an astonishing showdown with Trump, FBI Directory Comey has said that Trump's unsubstantiated allegations of wiretapping by President Obama are simply not true and is demanding the Justice Department reject such claims.
In a tweet storm this weekend, Trump made malicious accusations against Obama, but provided no evidence to back it up.
Comey made the request on Saturday after Trump leveled his allegation on Twitter. He been working to get the Justice Department to knock down the claim because it falsely insinuates that the F.B.I. broke the law, the officials said.
Comey's request is a remarkable rebuke of a sitting president, putting the nation's top law enforcement official in the position of questioning Trump's truthfulness.
A spokesman for Obama and his former aides have called the accusation by Mr. Trump completely false, saying that Obama never ordered any wiretapping of a United States citizen.
"A cardinal rule of the Obama administration was that no White House official ever interfered with any independent investigation led by the Department of Justice," Kevin Lewis, Obama's spokesman, said in a statement on Saturday.
Trump's demand for a congressional investigation appears to be based on unproven claims by Breitbart News and conservative talk radio hosts that secret warrants were issued authorizing the tapping of the phones of Trump and his aides at Trump Tower in New York.

Trump falsely accuses Obama of wiretapping him, backfiring on himself
I've been meaning to catch up on the plethora of lies coming out of Trump and his administration, but this latest news tipped the scale and forces an immediate post. We can come back to a more detailed list of recent lies later. They are frankly taking a lot of time to list!
Trump, in a storm of tweets, has accused Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower phones before he left office.
Not only has Obama and representatives strongly denied this, the president doesn't have the authority to order wire taps. If the FBI was wire-tapping, it would have been done under court order which means there is probably cause for illegal activities going on. Trump is essentially pointing a loaded gun at himself. It's completely irrational.
Trump offered no proof for his claims. ABC News has asked the White House for comment but has yet to receive a response.
The president's tweets came after an article ran Friday on the right-wing news site Breitbart claiming that the Obama administration obtained authorization to eavesdrop on the Trump campaign.
Later in the morning, Obama's former deputy national security adviser, Ben Rhodes, used Twitter to challenge Trump's claims.
"No president can order a wiretap," Rhodes, who continues to serve as a foreign-policy adviser to Obama post-presidency, said in one tweet. "Those restrictions were put in place to protect citizens from people like you."
In response to Trump's suggestion that a good lawyer could make the case that Obama tapped his phones, Rhodes tweeted, "No. They couldn't. Only a liar could do that."

Volunteers Assess More Than 100 Natural Areas: Getting Ready for More This Spring/Summer!
BlogUncategorizedVolunteers Assess More Than 100 Natural Areas: Getting Ready for More This Spring/Summer!
Bioreserve Project staff have completed reports on over 100 natural area properties that over 77 volunteers assessed over the last two field seasons! Volunteers found 290 different ecosystems and identified over 500 different plant species!
Here is an example of one of the reports we have shared with property owners, conservancies, and local governments. We will be working with them on restoration and protection of the highest scoring properties.
HRWC is preparing for our third field season, to begin this May.
Join Kris Olsson of the Huron River Watershed Council to learn how you can help identify high-quality natural areas for protection, as part of HRWC Bioreserve Project . At this workshop, volunteers will learn to conduct a rapid ecological assessment of grasslands, forests, wetlands, and aquatic habitats. Trained volunteers are then certified to be sent out in groups to work together on site assessments throughout the spring, summer and fall (an expected time commitment of four hours per site). Participants will gain broadly applicable skills in ecological assessment. Please bring a sack lunch. The workshop includes hands-on practice outdoors, so please come prepared for weather and mud.
If you cannot attend but would still like to participate, check out the web site to find out how to get involved.


Viruses and bacteria have not only evolved mechanisms for avoiding destruction by autophagy; some also coopt the autophagy machinery for their own benefit. Beale et al. report that the influenza A virus (IAV) ion channel protein Matrix 2 (M2) recruited the autophagosome marker LC3 to the plasma membrane to facilitate the production of stable virions. LC3 localizes to autophagosomal membranes and serves as a docking site for "cargo receptors," which are proteins that bind to substrates destined for autophagic degradation. Whereas fluorescently tagged LC3 was distributed throughout the cytoplasm and on autophagosomes in uninfected human A549 and HCT116 cells, LC3 accumulated perinuclearly and at the plasma membrane after infection with the H1N1 strain of IAV. Infection with IAV lacking M2 did not induce accumulation of LC3 at the plasma membrane. The authors identified a putative LC3-interacting region (LIR) in the cytoplasmic tail of M2 and demonstrated that this motif mediated binding of M2 to LC3 in vitro. The M2 LIR was required for the recruitment of LC3 to the plasma membrane upon infection but was not required for the perinuclear accumulation of LC3 in infected cells. Depending on the viral strain, IAV can bud as filaments or as spheres, with filamentous budding requiring more host cell membrane resources than spherical budding. Cells infected with the filamentously budding PR8-MUd strain IAV containing mutations in the M2 LIR produced fewer filaments than cells infected with wild-type PR8-MUd IAV. Viral replication was unaffected by mutations in the M2 LIR, but the infectivity of viral particles was reduced with mutations in the M2 LIR. When left at room temperature for 1 to 2 days, supernatants from cells infected with M2 LIR–mutant IAV contained fewer plaque-forming units than supernatants from wild-type IAV. This decrease in infectivity was more pronounced with the filamentous IAV strain than with a nonfilamentous strain. Thus, M2 recruitment of LC3 to the plasma membrane may help mobilize membrane resources that contribute to the stability of virus particles. The ion channel activity of M2 is required for viral entry, and M2 blocks the fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes, leading to perinuclear accumulation of autophagosomes (see commentary by Münz). This newly identified role for M2 adds another important virulence function to this multifunctional protein's repertoire.
An influenza A protein recruits autophagy machinery to the plasma membrane to promote production of stable virus particles.

Raid Pomerania
'Raid Pomerania' is a cyclic, non-commercial event managed by volunteers who have formed an international sailing group to explore the coasts of the historic region 'Pomerania', now in the German/Polish/Swedish Euroregion. It proudly flies the burgee of the Dinghy Cruising Association, as most of our active community are members of this organisation, a north European sailing community with little formal structure. It also uses the pages of the DCA journal for announcing and then reporting its events.
In its general approach, Raid Pomerania continues the traditions of earlier Finnish and Polish rallies. It started in 2015 at Szczecin (Poland), and headed northwest towards Rügen Island (Germany). The fleet consists of small sailing craft of any kind. The concept behind the raid depends on starting each year from the last reached point, with the aim of completing another stage of the overall plan.
The final destination of each individual leg depends on the winds and how they affect progress. The planned 2020-2022 events were cancelled due to sars-cov causing uncertainty about the viability of crossing borders. We expect to continue our plans in 2023.
