Judge Susan G. Braden was appointed to the United States Court of Federal Claims on July 14, 2003, by President George W. Bush, following unanimous consent of the United States Senate. On March 13, 2017, President Donald J. Trump appointed Judge Braden to be Chief of the Court, a position she held until assuming Senior Status on July 12, 2018.
On the federal bench, Judge Braden issued 456 published opinions, awarded over $800 million in damages in breach of contract, patent infringement and Secrecy Act, federal tax refund, Vaccine Act, military and civilian pay, and Fifth Amendment Takings Clause cases, that were affirmed by the Federal Circuit. Many of these cases were of first impression e.g., changing the standard of review in Vaccine Act cases; defining the scope of the Federal Acquisition Regulation "Rights in Data-General Clause;" recognizing indirect independent R&D costs in military contracts; awarding several utility companies multi-million dollar damages for breach of nuclear waste disposal contracts; authorizing four major oil companies $99 million in CERCLA costs, under a "hold harmless" clause; awarding a major oil company damages for Department of Energy misconduct in the allocation of California oil reserves worth $437 billion. She also adjudicated patent infringement cases concerning night vision goggle and drone retrieval technologies that resulted in multi-million settlements. In the federal tax area, Judge Braden barred the IRS from pursuing a TEFRA partnership claim and awarded plaintiff $314,000 in attorney fees. She also recently defined the parameters of a "willful" violation of Foreign Financial Transactions Act. And, Judge Braden handled such cutting-edge bid protests, as: the first federal contract for cloud computing services worth $60 million; blocking the continued purchase of Russian-made rocket engines used to boost military satellite launches and oversaw the renegotiation of "block buy" contracts to launch national security payloads that resulted in $40 billion savings to the Air Force, according to the Washington Post. In 2018, she determined that claims alleging the taking of collateral securing $3 billion of Puerto Rico pension bonds was subject to the jurisdiction of the United States Court of Federal Claims, on constitutional grounds.
In 2018, the Howard University Law School recognized Judge Braden for "The Advancement of Intellectual Property Law." In 2017, she was appointed to the U.S. Administrative Conference's Judicial Review-Agency Guidance Project. In 2015, the American Law Institute named her as one of seven Judicial Advisors to the proposed RESTATEMENT OF THE LAW ON COPYRIGHT. In 2013, Judge Braden was named to the American Intellectual Property Law Association's Judge's Special Committee and Chair of the Court's Advisory Council's Intellectual Property Committee to draft the Court's new Patent Rules. In 2012, she received the Linn Inn Alliance Distinguished Service Medal at the NY Intellectual Property Lawyers Association Annual Dinner. In 2012, she was named Chair of the ABA's Section of Intellectual Property Law Task Force On Small Patent Claims. During 2010-11, Judge Braden served as President of the Giles S. Rich American Inn of Court, affiliated with the Federal Circuit. From 2009-12, she served on the ABA's Judges' Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility. In 2007, she was elected as a Member of the American Law Institute and worked on the RESTATEMENT OF LAW THIRD, RESTITUTION AND UNJUST ENRICHMENT and in 2004, was recognized as a Senior Fellow of the ABA's Administrative Law and Regulatory Section.
Judge Braden began her legal career in the Department of Justice's Antitrust Section, where she led grand juries and litigated criminal price-fixing and merger cases, as a Senior Trial Attorney. In 1981, she joined the Reagan Administration, serving as an Attorney Advisor/Senior Counsel to two Chairmen of the Federal Trade Commission. In 1984, she entered private practice, representing clients in litigating statutory, administrative, and constitutional cases before federal and state trial and appellate courts. In particular, her work litigating transformational copyright and trade secret cases concerning computer software in the United States and France received favorable notice in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and National Law Journal. She also represented small and mid-sized manufacturing firms before almost every federal agency, testified before Congress, served as a Special Assistant Attorney General for the State of Alabama, and was a principal lobbyist for the Emergency Oil and Steel Loan Guarantee Act of 1999, that established a $1 billion federal loan guarantee program to assist bankrupt and troubled steel mills and small oil companies.
Judge Braden received a B.A. degree (1970) and J. D. degree (1973) from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. She also attended post graduate courses at the Harvard Law School in the summer of 1978.

Corpus callosum: It is a 'C' shaped compact band of white matter (fibers) with convexity directed upwards, present at the center of medial surface of cerebral hemisphere. Fibers passing through all the parts of corpus callosum cross the midline and connect identical cortical areas of all the parts of both cerebral hemispheres. This is an example of commissural fibers. Most rostral (cephalic) part of corpus callosum is thin and directed downwards and backwards. It is called rostrum. Next, the bend is known as genu. Behind genu the main part is known as body which ends posteriorly into a blunt rounded end called splenium.
Fornix: Below the middle of corpus callosum starts a white band of fibers which extends downwards and forwards upto rostral end of corpus callosum. It is called fornix. Fibers in the fornix connect different areas of same cerebral hemisphere and is an example of association fibers.
Septum pellucidum: It is a thin bilaminar membrane bridging between fornix and anterior part of corpus callosum. Lateral to this septum lies the cavity of cerebral hemisphere (telencephalon) called lateral ventricle of brain.
Thalamus: Below posterior part of corpus callosum and behind fornix, medial surface of thalamus (diencephalon) is visible. On either side of midline, medial surface of thalamus of both cerebral hemispheres forms lateral boundary of third ventricle of brain (cavity of diencephalon). Thalamus is continuous with hypothalamus below and in front, and with subthalamus below and behind.
Anterior commissure: It is small cross section of compact bundle of commissural fibers which is situated in front of anterior end (anterior column) of fornix.


It's official. The 6.4-inch Super AMOLED Infinity Display on the new Samsung Galaxy Note9 is the best in the business. Bar none. In fact, consulting firm DisplayMate has called it "visually indistinguishable from perfect." This may not come as such a big surprise since Samsung has been the leading OLED display maker for years.
For those not in the know, Samsung also makes the brilliant OLED display on the iPhone X.
DisplayMate found the Galaxy Note9's display to have the best colour calibration of any display on the market. The device has several display modes, each tied to a specific colour gamut. This sounds similar to the different modes found on the OnePlus 6, another top notch display.
For instance, the Basic mode is sRGB, and the AMOLED Photo mode is Adobe RGB.
The firm used Just Noticeable Colour Difference (JNCD) to measure colour accuracy of the Note9 display. Anything under an error rate of "3" is "visually indistinguishable from perfect" in most situations. It added that the Note9 display is considerably better than your 4K UHD TV, tablet, notebook and computer monitor.
When two colours are touching, a rating of "1" or less is necessary to ensure perfection.
The Note9 scored a JNCD of 0.5, so it's effectively perfect.
Samsung's latest flagship also improves on last year's winning Note8 on brightness, improving by 26 percent with a maximum output of 825 nits. It's still not the brightest display on the market though, that distinction goes to the LG. The LG G7's LCD can go up to 1,000 nits.
OLED display have tremendous performance advantages over LCDs and high-end smartphones need OLEDs to compete.
The other record-breaking feats for the Note9 display include the lowest reflectance (4.4 percent), the highest contrast in ambient light (239), and the smallest colour variation at off-angles (27 percent at 30 degrees).
It's all very technical for the everyday user. And perhaps the numbers don't matter. What matters is when you buy a Galaxy Note9, you're also buying the best display on the planet. Which means you get the best brightness, contrast, colour accuracy and image quality that money can buy.

Q: Python argparse; if argument 1 not present, how to continue and set required next arguments I have 3 arguments in my python script. Two are required for running the script and argument 1 shows only a list of options.
I want that if argument 1 is set, that argument 2 and 3 are not required anymore, and if argument 1 is not used, that argument 2 and 3 are required.
The arguments are as follows:
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument("--1", help="list of options", action="store_true", default=False)
parser.add_argument("--2", help="level", required=True)
parser.add_argument("--3", help="folder", required=True)
args = parser.parse_args()

I tried it with the following command:
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument("--1", help="list of options", action="store_true", default=False)
parser.add_argument("--2", help="level)
parser.add_argument("--3", help="folder")
args = parser.parse_args()

if args.1:
    print('list of options')
    sys.exit()
if not args.1:
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
    parser.add_argument("--1", help="list of options", action="store_true", default=False)
    parser.add_argument("--2", help="level", required=True)
    parser.add_argument("--3", help="folder", required=True)

But the problem than is that if the user only set option 2 (or only option 3), that the script continues, instead of having both options 2 and 3 required.
Is it possible in Python to first test for option 1 and, if this option is not set, continue to test for option 2 and 3, and set these two as required?

After trusting her boyfriend with information about who and what she is, Pia is blackmailed into breaking into the hoard of a very powerful dragon. The minute that the powerful dragon, Dragos Cuelebre, discovers the theft he is beside himself with anger and want the thief caught immediately.
Dragos discovers who the thief is and goes after her – even though she's trying to hide from him. When he catches her, however, he is so drawn to her – Pia being half human/half wyr – that he decides not to kill her but keep her instead…forever. Now Pia's not all that thrilled at first at the thought of being "kept" but she soon learns to care for Dragos and his possessive ways. She's not simpering miss though and gives back as good as she gets.
The thing I liked so much about this book – besides the great writing and the great story – was the fact that the author wasn't afraid to show us that the relationship could be contentious but the people can still love each other. I like when I'm shown the fact that the h/h can jump down each others throats and still care for the other person. Don't get me wrong – I love seeing an angsty romance become an HEA but never do I think that the arguing will stop with the statements of I Love You. In this book she just showed us those verbal sparks and I loved it.
The other part of the story that I really liked – that had to do with the villain – was that Ms. Harrison didn't hold back with the heroine and what happens to her when captured by the enemy. In most books the hero always steps in to save the heroine from harm but what if that's just not possible? That happened in this story and though it's a story of dragon shifter it made the story that much more real in my eyes.
In the end I loved the book. I borrowed the ARC from Holly but will definitely be going out and buying my own copy so I can have it to re-read in the future. I can't wait for more from Ms. Harrison and the Elder Races.

Saudi Arabia's MBS Allegedly Behind Hack of Amazon Owner's Phone
PM: Morocco Is on Right Track in Fight Against Corruption

Who is Hassan Abyaba, Morocco's New Youth, Sports, Culture Minister?

Susanna is an editor at Morocco World News.
Frankfurt – Hassan Abyaba, has become Morocco's new minister of youth, sports, and culture and government spokesperson. On Wednesday, October 9, King Mohammed VI appointed Abyaba to the cabinet position under Head of Government Saad Eddine El Othmani in a government reshuffle.
Abyaba, who taught at Casablanca's Hassan II University, will be taking over three portfolios. He will replace Mohamed Laaraj, the previous minister of culture, Rachid Talbi Alami, the previous minister of youth and sports, and Mustapha El Khalfi as government spokesperson.
Abyaba has experience as a spokesperson, having served as the spokesperson of his party, the Constitutional Union (UC) since 2016.
What experience does Abyaba have with his other roles?
The politician joined the UC in 1989 and soon became the party's deputy secretary-general of youth.
As youth minister, Abyaba will face the challenge of Morocco's high youth unemployment rate. Earlier this year, the High Commission for Planning reported that the unemployment rate among urban youth is as high as 40%.
While Abyaba does not have a clear record in working in the sports or culture sectors, he completed his doctorate in human resources in 2010 at the Mohammed V University of Rabat.
Abyaba has also received training in leadership and negotiation management in the US and Germany.
As sports minister, Abyaba will inherit the task of securing Morocco's long-held desire to host the FIFA World Cup. Morocco has an increasingly large profile in hosting championships and tournaments. In August 2019, Rabat hosted the 2019 African Games.

The politician was born soon after independence in Settat, near Casablanca. He first obtained a bachelor's in geopolitical studies before earning a master's and doctorate in the same field.
In 2018, he became president of the Arab Liberal Federation. The federation is a group of 13 political parties "committed to the principles of freedom, responsibility, pluralism, tolerance, market economy, civil state and separation of religion from state affairs, where every citizen enjoys a life of peace and prosperity."
Abyaba's new position as government spokesperson will require him to work closely with El Othmani's ruling Islamist Justice and Development Party (PJD).

Healthcare Provider KIMS Raises $130M from General Atlantic
General Atlantic has been active in India since 1999 and has invested over $2 billion in the India and Asia-Pacific region, as of December 31, 2017.
27 June, 2018 by BW Online Bureau
Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS Hospitals), a multi-disciplinary provider of healthcare services in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, has received a strategic growth investment from General Atlantic, a leading global growth equity firm. As part of the transaction, General Atlantic invested over $130 million, in a combination of primary capital and secondary purchases, to acquire a significant minority stake in the company.
Set up in 2004 by Dr. Bhaskar Rao, a renowned cardiothoracic surgeon, KIMS Hospitals has grown to become one of the largest corporate healthcare groups in southern India, with seven multi-specialty hospitals across the region and a capacity of over 2,500 beds.
KIMS Hospitals claims to be focused on delivering high quality healthcare services at affordable prices across metros and smaller cities. Over the last decade, "KIMS Hospitals has established itself as a trusted medical services provider to the masses, "said Dr. Bhaskar Rao, MD and CEO of KIMS Hospitals. He continued, "We are thrilled to partner with General Atlantic as we embark on our next phase of growth to strengthen our presence in underserved geographies. Given General Atlantic's deep experience of investing in healthcare globally and its network of relationships across leading global healthcare institutions, we are confident that his new association will help KIMS Hospitals deliver on its goal of bringing quality medical care, modern medical facilities, and services within the reach of the common man."
Sandeep Naik, Managing Director and Head of India and Asia-Pacific at General Atlantic, said, "The combination of an acute shortage in quality healthcare infrastructure and a strong focus from the government to make quality healthcare more accessible, has created compelling secular tailwinds to drive growth for high-quality corporate hospital networks. We believe KIMS Hospitals is uniquely positioned to benefit from these trends." Shantanu Rastogi, Managing Director at General Atlantic, added "we are excited to partner with Dr. Rao and the broader management and medical teams at KIMS Hospitals. We will work closely with the company on new initiatives and growth opportunities, with the objective to establish KIMS Hospitals as the leading destination for affordable healthcare in India."
General Atlantic has been active in India since 1999 and has invested over $2 billion in the India and Asia-Pacific region, as of December 31, 2017. General Atlantic focuses on investments across four sectors, including Healthcare, Technology, Consumer, and Financial Services. Its portfolio of current investments in India includes Absolute Barbeque, Billdesk, Capital Foods, CitiusTech, House of Anita Dongre, IIFL Wealth, Mu Sigma, National Stock Exchange, and PNB Housing Finance.
KIMS Hospitals currently has a network of 7 hospitals across Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, with units in Secunderabad, Kondapur (Hyderabad), Nellore, Rajahmundry, Srikakulam, Ongole and Vishakhapatnam.
It provides comprehensive treatment for complex and chronic diseases covering secondary, tertiary and quaternary healthcare. In addition to providing core medical, surgical and emergency services, it provides complex and advanced quaternary healthcare in various specialties under disciplines such as neurosciences, cardiac sciences, oncology, Orthopaedics, renal sciences, organ transplantation and gastric sciences.

You all know how fond I am of New York. I don't think I've ever written about my obsession with London. I adore big, sprawling cities that make little sense to outsiders. (Tokyo shares similar charms.) While I appreciate the formal beauty of towns such as Paris, I prefer chaos. I want to be surprised, shocked, or titillated every time I take a turn. London delivers. It's a big, beautiful mess. I wouldn't want to live there, but it's a city I'll never get tired of visiting.
But today, I'll focus on pea soup fogs. Like most Americans of my generation (and possibly yours), I always romanticized the fogs that once descended on London. They called to mind natty trench coats and Sherlock Holmes tales. (Not to mention Jack the Ripper.) Of course the London fogs were anything but romantic. "Pea-soupers" were a direct product of pollution. That picturesque fog was poison, and every time it rolled into town thousands of people perished.
The pea-souper of December, 1952 may have killed more than twelve thousand people. (To put that into perspective, it's almost four times the number of people who died here in New York on 9/11.) Fortunately, those deaths led to legislation that eventually cleared the skies over London.
Check out the wonderful Nickle in the Machine blog for more pictures of the 1952 killer fog. I love it when another blog does my work for me (and does a much better job than I would have done).
Killer fog...I've never heard of that before. This post makes me want to go to London.
WOW!!!!! 2 years ago I went on a trip to London and it was amazing!!!!! Sooooo beautiful!
One of my cycling friends may be getting a job with the local branch of the state Air Quality Control Board. I'm happy for her, especially since whenever I'm in the San Fernando Valley smog-belt, I can't get over how clear the air is compared to back when.
Wow, my parents met in London, and I've always wanted to go there. And killer fogs- all the term does is send chills up my spine, because of the Hunger Games. So CREEPY!!!
Hey Kirsten, thanks for the link. Much appreciated.
And, of course, what do you do when there's a cold, nasty fog and you don't really understand what caused it? Heap more coal on the fire, of course.
Oh yes.....I've read about the fog. If you opened a door, a big slice of it would creep in and float there, eventually dissipating into air. Yuck.
Why is it they never mention facts like this in my History class room? Or maybe the problem is me, not listening close enough.
Or maybe the problem is the people who sit next to me talking away, like they're giving some sort of speech.
P.S. I always knew I loved London for a reason, other then the MI6.
and you read all those old books about London and how simply delightful it is..... Im rethinking half of my book collection right now.
Every so often I'm miles away from a wildfire that leaves an ashfall where I happen to be. The 1952 fog was worse than anything I've seen or been in.


GREEN ARMY notable off-road race team captured the S.N.O.R.E "Battle at Primm" with Justin Davis taking the Overall Championship and a Class-1 win at the season opener in Primm, Nevada held last weekend February 9-11. On the heels of another Class-1 win at the M.O.R.E. "Slash X Ranch" California desert race January 27, highly touted Justin Davis has been holding TRI-ACE Tire's feet to the fire demonstrating their high technology and durability with the Mark Ma Dakar Rally off-road race tire. Davis who uniquely solo pilots, previously validated the tires durability and performance success by being the first ever off-road racer to place in a SCORE International race with TRI-ACE products when he took third in Class-10 at the 2017 BAJA1000. Mr. Davis has pointed out that the Dakar Rally tire has excellent puncture resistance and predictable control for aggressive driving.
GREEN ARMY has committed to competing with TRI-ACE Tire products in the 2018 season and expects to be in many SCORE, S.N.O.R.E., M.O.R.E. and other race series including B.I.T.D's Mint 400 in Las Vegas, March 7-11. According to Jack Bidding who has developed TRI-ACE's presence in desert racing said that the having the GREEN ARMY and Gaunt Motorsports team's involved has significantly increased the demand for their tires so much so that their website crashed the day after the "Battle at Primm". With the website back up and running, off-road racers can inquire, order tires and register for Contingency Awards via www.tri-acetireusa.com or call 844-887-4223. TRI-ACE will have awards in SCORE, B.I.T.D. and S.N.O.R.E. programs.
Attached pictures feature the GREEN ARMY TEAM at Primm and action photo from the race.
TRI-ACE Tires specializes in high rim diameter UHP and Mud Terrain tires as well as multiple competition tires.


• On the defense, it's a group deal. It needs to be 11 guys. At the end of the day everybody needs to be on the same page. It's hard to be successful on defense if guys are trying to cover for other guys and do things that aren't meant to be done on that particular call. Guys need to trust each other.
• DeVante Parker missed time and that had an impact. The missed reps hurt. With where they were at before he was injured they were relying on him heavily. He's trying to find out what his role is. He had a good idea of what he is doing. He has a better feel. You always want a guy to impose himself but he's a very young player. You're waiting for a guy to take a step and some guys take longer than others. He needs to get that feel of, 'I can dominate.' He needs to grow his confidence in practice.
• Kenyan Drake and Damien Williams are both starters. It's irrelevant who starts.
• Jay Cutler needs to be right on his mechanics. When he is, it's good. When he's not, it's bad.
• We haven't come through on offense, for two years. That's what is disappointing for me. We haven't put them (the defense) in the position we want them to be.
• Ndamukong Suh is unbelievable in his preparation of his body. He is early. He was very impressive.
• The Dolphins feel they handled the rest well in terms of getting time back after the Thursday game. This Wednesday was always going to be an off day for the players, even before Hurricane Irma.
• Charles Harris doing a lot of things well. When he struggles it's things he has never seen before.

City Council Moves Cellular Data Network Forward to 5G Future
Airey October 21, 2019 at 3:25pm
Alexandria officials have voted to allow mobile carriers to start installing what's billed as a faster, and smarter, cellular network.
The Alexandria City Council voted during its meeting this past Saturday, October 19 to approve a 5-year agreements with Verizon and AT&T, allowing the company to install small wireless equipment on street poles to boost 5G cell networks to the city.
Experts say that 5G technology promises data speeds ten times as fast as the existing 4G network. The technology also has the potential to make real-time data sharing things like for "smart city" infrastructure possible, potentially enabling drivers to connect autonomous vehicles to the city's infrastructure. However, 5G requires cellular companies install many backpack-sized signal devices with antennas across an area to form a network.
The city's newly-approved agreements require the cellular companies to pay a one-time $750 fee to the city to host the cellular equipment on the public land next to streets, and requires companies pay for whatever electricity is used to power them. The poles themselves can be light, traffic signal, or utility poles — as long as the small equipment doesn't interfere with existing utilities.
Members voted 6-0 in favor of the contracts after a quick deliberation, with Councilman Mohamed Seifeldein abstaining.
"Alexandria business, residents, visitors, and commuters depend on this enhanced service and connectivity during normal communication use and emergencies especially in critical services in fire, police, and ambulance, and hospital calls," said Verizon Wireless Real Estate Manager Jeff Ott on Saturday.
The vote makes Alexandria the third Northern Virginia community to permit 5G small cell technology.
"We look forward to deploying the next generation of wireless technology throughout the city, and working again on future collaborations," said Genelle Newhard, AT&T's senior real estate and construction manager.
Residents elsewhere have opposed the technology over concerns about health effects of low levels of 5G radio wave emission. Paul Dugan, a Pennsylvania-based consulting engineer at Millennium Engineering, P.C. who testified Saturday, noted there was "a lot of misinformation being circulated among communities" regarding health effects from small cell technology and emphasized that studies have not shown the radio waves cause harmful effects.
"There's nothing that suggests that the introduction of these small cells is going to elevate the electromagnetic exposure around these facilities," he said. "These facilities are transmitting on the order of five watts or less. We're talking about the power of a residential nightlight."
The permit given to Verizon and AT&T specifies that the companies' technology installation can "not result in human exposure to radiofrequency radiation in excess of the applicable safety standards specified in Federal Communications Commission regulations."
When asked by City Councilwoman Redella 'Del' Pepper who benefits from the technology, Dugan replied that anyone who lives in Alexandria will be served by the stronger, faster network. Dugan also added that industries like healthcare may be able to innovate with systems like telemedicine systems thanks to 5G.
"It's going to revolutionize whole industries, healthcare, agriculture, you name it," he said. "It's going to transform society."
"I think we want to see new technology deployed too," Mayor Justin Wilson told the Alexandria Times last week. "The last thing we want is to be left behind again on broadband deployment. This is the next step to that."
Pepper thanked the Verizon and AT&T representatives for their work with the city on the initiative and urged them to continue to "work very closely with the city" on 5G going forward.
"In Alexandria, we have an opinion on everything right down to the last curb and last curb cut," she added. "In your case, it will be every pole that gets removed."

The words of Pedro Sánchez in 2019 about "sustainable livestock" that have now been viralized on Twitter | Politics
The statements of Minister Alberto Garzón on the quality of Spanish meat in an interview published by the British newspaper The Guardian —and later misrepresented by the sector magazine Meat– They have become one of the most talked about issues of current politics in Spain.
After the criticism of the president (and candidate of the PP) of Castilla y León, Alfonso Fernández Mañueco, supported by other leaders of the PP and even some socialist barons, the matter has been making more and more headlines. The President of the Government, Pedro Sánchez, assured in the interview with Day by day this Monday that he regretted the controversy: "As Prime Minister, express my regret about a controversy and I think that with that I am saying everything."
For his part, the former vice president of the Government, Pablo Iglesias, has been very critical this Monday in The Agora of Hour 25: "I think the President of the Government has made a mistake. It is very serious because the President knows it is a lie, but you have to take a position against him because most of the voters have believed it. It is a lie and it is indecent. they have swallowed a hoax. "
Several chefs, ranchers and businessmen consulted by Cadena SER have agreed with Garzón's statements that the meat from extensive livestock is of higher quality. But the last to speak was the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Luis Planas, who called Garzón's words "quite unfortunate". "I am the Minister of Food, the normal thing is that if someone talks about food they call me," Planas said in statements to Onda Cero.
"Massive ecological impact"
The Minister of Consumption himself published on Twitter the complete transcript of his statements, in which – as can be seen – he states his objective is to "transfer the scientific evidence as a whole to public policies" and distinguishes industrial livestock from extensive farming, which he refers to in the interview as "ecologically sustainable livestock that has a lot of weight in certain regions of Spain".
I take this opportunity to publish the complete transcript of what I said in the interview, because for reasons of space the journalist had to exclude some elements that today, in the heat of the hoax and the lie that certain actors promote, are highlighted. pic.twitter.com/ljR2x3n5Bu
– Alberto Garzón🔻 (@agarzon) January 4, 2022
The minister, however, warns about the effects of macro-farms: "They pollute the soils, pollute the water and then normally it is exported … It is a lower quality meat, it is an animal abuse also what is produced and it is an impact huge and disproportionate ecological ".
Pedro Sánchez, in 2019
Although the President of the Government has regretted the statements of his Minister of Consumption, this Tuesday a video of Pedro Sánchez was viralized in which, answering a series of questions posed by children and transferred by Unicef, he gave his opinion on the matter of the controversy : livestock and its environmental impact.
"You are right, Lara. We all have a responsibility to address the climate crisis, the ecological crisis, and act urgently to protect future generations, generations to come, and it must be now. We must reflect on reducing the consumption of meat, betting on organic livestock, a small-scale livestock, of great environmental and social value, and that also generates employment in rural areas, which is also one of the main challenges we have. Safe, better food, more healthy and more respectful with the environment. That is our proposal, "said Sánchez in October 2019.
Healthier and more environmentally friendly food. We are committed to sustainable livestock farming, on a smaller scale, of great environmental value and that generates employment in rural areas. This is one of our proposals to address the #climatic crisis, Lara. pic.twitter.com/G4DSjbosPR

Globe bombing relived as 75 years approaches
Ralph and Iris Stanley
A bomb fell in Abbey End in 1940, killing 26 people
A town memorial service will be held on November 21 to remember those who died
Relatives and friends of those killed, and survivors, are called to take part and tell their stories
Survivors and relatives of those killed when a bomb partially flattened Abbey End have told their stories in support of a memorial 75 years later.
Ralph Stanley was just 10 years old when the Globe Hotel was destroyed by a falling landmine in November, 1940 and 26 people were killed.
The Stanley Family. Ralph Stanley (far left) and his brother James (bottom right) both survived the blast.
Despite privately marking the anniversary with his family each year, he said it is vital the event is not forgotten as the town prepares to mark the milestone anniversary.
Looking back to the day when he could have lost his life, the grandfather said he and his parents, Ralph and Margaret Stanley, joined scores of Coventry families who were taken in at the hotel to escape bombings in the city.
After spending a short time huddled on the floor of the dance hall, which James Stanley - Ralph's uncle and owner of the inn - opened up to families, they returned home.
But they headed back to the hotel just days later when the devastation hit, said the grandfather who is eager to share his story.
We will certainly be going to the anniversary, it is sad that more is not done every year. This is a memory for a lot of people and it is important to remember
Iris Stanley
The 85-year-old said: "The place was full of people, there were blankets laid out all over the floor. Bombing in Coventry had got so bad people just wanted to get away.
"When we returned for the second time our space had been taken so we found a place at the top of the stairs.
"I don't remember much after that, but I remember seeing the bricks come away from the mortar and falling down on me when the landmine fell. "We didn't know that's what it was at the time, all we knew is that we were buried.
"The people who had taken our original space were completely flattened. Everybody down there was.
Abbey End
"The next thing I remember is my father coming to get us out. I don't know how long it all lasted but it seemed like hours. I can still see the bricks, it's such a vivid memory."
He said his life was later saved by his mother who shielded him from a falling beam which could easily have crushed him.
His father and mother escaped, as did his uncle James. But Roy's cousin Ralph who was on leave from the RAF, was killed along with 25 others - mostly those of who had been seeking refuge from Coventry.
Police issue advice following attempted Kenilworth burglary
Their names were engraved on a plaque and several memorial events have been held since. The latest will run on November 21 where the 75th anniversary of the attack will be marked by survivors and family of those killed.
Roy, who now lives in Burton Green with his wife Iris, said they are delighted that a town ceremony is to run.
Iris Stanley said: "We will certainly be going to the anniversary, it is sad that more is not done every year. This is a memory for a lot of people and it is important to remember."
Tony Collett will also come to pay his respects in November in memory of his grandmother Sarah Huff Collett who was killed by shrapnel in a blast six days before.
He said the family gathers to mark the anniversary each year, and are delighted to be part of the November commemoration in Abbey End.
"My grandmother was killed when falling shrapnel hit in Arthur Street," he said.
"We are very much behind this civilian event, these dates should not be forgotten."
Anyone connected to those killed can contact the town council on 859155.


Описание: *The autobiography of one of New Zealand`s best-loved writers with an introduction by Jane Campion *Janet Frame`s autobiography is one of the twentieth century`s great works of literature.
Описание: Owls Do Cry is the first novel of one of New Zealand`s most acclaimed classic writers, Janet Frame. Hailed as a masterpiece on first publication in 1957, it is comparable to Sylvia Plath`s The Bell Jar and One Flew Over the Cuckoo`s Nest by Ken Kesey.
Описание: This collection of stories - Janet Frame`s first published book - appeared in New Zealand in 1951, while she was confined in a mental hospital. It won the Hubert Church Award, and a threatened brain operation was averted. These stories bring into focus a crucial turning point in her life.
Описание: 'A deeply rewarding and beautiful novel' Hilary Mantel, Guardian Life in England seems transitory for Grace Cleave as the pull of her native New Zealand grows stronger. She begins to feel increasingly like a migratory bird. Grace longs to find her own place in the world, if only she can decide where that is.
But first she must learn to feel comfortable in her own skin, feathers and all. Written in 1963, Janet Frame considered this novel too personal to be published in her lifetime. 'In this deeply personal novel of exile and loneliness, Janet Frame proves the master of nostalgia, beauty and loss.
Описание: This is a novel of exile and return, which Janet Frame felt too autobiographical to be published in her lifetime. It is an exquisite work shot through with tenderness and Frame`s characteristic self-deprecating humour.
Описание: A collection of short stories by the author of An Angel at My Table.
Описание: A selection of Janet Frame`s poems drawn from both "An Angel at My Table" and "The Goose Bath".
Описание: In this highly inventive novel, reality, fiction and dreams are woven together as Janet Frame playfully explores the process of writing fiction.


Researchers from Washington University in St. Louis are conducting an experiment to determine the impact of savings on child development. Contributions of $1,000 are made towards a child's college fund when they are born.
The program has shown that those parents whose children received this money for college reported that their kids are more socially and emotionally developed than the ones who in the study who were not given the money.
The best results have come from those in lower income households.
This is impossible to gauge with any precision, but the authors of the study feel that these parents see more potential in their children because they have the savings started for their education.
The expectations have been raised.
So whether the children are more developed or not, the parents are treating them as if they are. It's a virtuous cycle that compounds and could actually mean a better life down the road for these kids.
Stay with me here as I'm about to make leap in my conclusion from this study (just go with it).
Saving money can act as a form of George Soros's theory of reflexivity.
Reflexivity states that the valuation of any market can create a virtuous circle that alters that market in the future based on the actions of investors.
Basically, Soros is saying that the biases and views of investors can actually change the fundamentals that determine the prices in a market.
So higher stock prices can lead to increased investment by company management which could increase economic activity and thus lead to even higher stock prices.
Positive and negative feedback loops can cause prices to take off in either direction.
This is an important idea to grasp when trying to understand manias and panics that evolve from greed and fear. Soros has said that this is a common sense idea, but one that many don't take the time to understand.
It's not a perfect comparison with saving money because booms lead to busts and vice versa, but the self-reinforcing process is the link.
Studies have shown that saving money can lead to an increase in happiness. This seems obvious, but how much money people have saved has a much larger impact on well-being than income level.
Happiness levels off at a certain income threshold, but that's not the case with how much you save.
Not only does your money compound when you save and invest for the future by delaying current consumption, but your happiness and perception of the future changes as well.
This is exactly what is happening with the college savings study.
The money in these savings accounts give the parents hope that their child will go to college someday, which in turn leads to positive reinforcement that can increase self-confidence and snowball from there.
There's no guarantee that this has to work, but it's an intriguing idea.
We've seen how behavioral biases can affect our decisions in a negative way, but in this instance, having an optimistic bias of the future is actually a good thing.
That's why it's so important for people to simply start saving so they can see some results and allow the positive feedback loop to kick in.
