Stiltsville
For generations, Miami's Stiltsville neighborhood in Biscayne Bay has been the subject of fascination, and occasional controversy. At one point, there were as many as 27 stilt homes, but now only seven survive, built on wooden and concrete pylons two miles offshore in what is now Biscayne National Park. Stiltsville was once a remote getaway for […]

What is now Miami City Hall was built in 1934 by Pan American Airlines for its worldwide flying-boat terminal. The air terminal was sold to the city of Miami in 1946 and after a brief stint as Jackie Heller's Dinner Key Terrace restaurant, the city converted the building into its City Hall in 1954.

It was made by a fledgling firm called Pan American Airways. Though it would later be based in New York City, the […]

2015 in Superlatives
Jack Parker December 27, 2015
Today is the 27th of December, which marks the start of a four day period in which humans find themselves practically useless. We're obviously talking about the void period between Christmas and New Year, a space of four days which need filling up as much as possible. While we hammer away at the brand new All Things Loud website, we thought it would be a good idea to close out 2015 with some superlatives. Find them below.
BEST SHOW OF 2015: Django Django @ Melkweg Amsterdam
"As the show came to an end, one thing was very clear – there is no one out there right now who does it like Django Django do it. You'll be hard pushed to think of a band who sound remotely like them, let alone one who combines music and visuals so beautifully in a live setting. If there were more bands around right now along the lines of Django Django, live music would be very, very exciting."
BEST FESTIVAL SET OF THE YEAR: Enter Shikari @ Lowlands 2015
Never had we seen a festival set filled with so much vigour, perseverance and energy. Enter Shikari, although arriving 30 minutes before stage time, managed to do something which no other act at Lowlands managed all weekend – tear the whole place up.
BEST SOLO: Ghost – Absolution
"Once the song reaches its solo, it's like heaven has started to coexist on hell. Both guitars come together and play in sync, the high notes so precise that they're capable of producing happiness-induced tears on behalf of the listener. Everything that Meliora has worked towards comes together on Absolution, with its solo the absolutely monstrous climax point. The song comes to a cataclysmic ending as the guitars crescendo in an absolutely disastrous manner. You'll be hard pushed to find a hard rock song better than Absolution in 2015, as it really is that good."
BEST BAND: Nothing But Thieves
We can't shut up about Nothing But Thieves. From the moment that these five guys emerged back in January we knew that they were destined for greatness. It was only a matter of time before the rest of the world caught on, and boy have these lads done well in 2015. Without a doubt our favourite band of the year.
MOST USELESS COMEBACK: The Stone Roses' 2016 shows
If there's no new music, then why do the band feel the need to cash in further on former glory?
BEST MOMENT: The Beatles finally being available to stream
It's been quite a long time coming, but a few days ago The Beatles were finally available to stream across a diverse range of platforms. House parties can now come with an added hint of Hey Jude if need be – hallelujah.
WORST ARTIST: 5 Seconds of Summer
Before you pile the hate on us, please understand that this is our personal opinion. Are the world enriched by these Aussie lads? No. Did we need a band like 5 Seconds of Summer? No. Point out.
OUR FAVOURITE PICTURES:
A Day to Remember @ Rock am Ring 2015 (as chosen by Natasja de Vries)
It was an honour to shoot a band like A Day to Remember, especially when your first time shooting is at a major festival.
KEVIN SKAFF, A DAY TO REMEMBER
Jungle @ Metropolis Festival 2015 (as chosen by Jack Parker)
I think this picture captures the pure essence of what Jungle are all about – having fun. In the picture you see one half of the duo surrounded by smoke, with an outstretched arm. He's losing himself to the music, and it essentially reflects the nature of a Jungle show: lose yourself in and amongst the mystery.
See you in 2016.

Hong Kong bishop consecrated in Cathedral of Immaculate Conception

Rome Newsroom, Dec 4, 2021 / 03:00 am (CNA).
Bishop Stephen Chow Sau-yan was ordained a bishop in Hong Kong's Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception on Saturday.
"As a successor to the Apostles by the grace of Almighty God, I request your constant prayers that I may always be loyal to God's will as a shepherd to the People of God in Hong Kong, and faithfully carry out my duties," Chow said at the Mass on Dec. 4.
Cardinal John Tong Hon, the apostolic administrator of Hong Kong, presided over the Mass. Cardinal Joseph Zen and auxiliary Bishop Joseph Ha were co-celebrants.
"Through the Bishop's wisdom and prudence, it is Christ himself who leads you in your earthly pilgrimage toward eternal happiness," Tong said in his homily, according to the diocese of Hong Kong.
"He has been entrusted with the task of bearing witness to the truth of the Gospel, and with the ministry of the Spirit and of justice," he said.
During the Mass, Chow laid face down on the floor in total surrender to God as the congregation recited the Litany of the Saints in Cantonese.
Bishop Chow said in a brief speech at the end of the Mass that he wanted to help "foster healing and connections" in the Catholic community in his "beloved hometown."
"As the bishop, it is my desire to be a bridge between the government and the church in Hong Kong and between the Catholic Church, fellow Christian denominations, and other religions," he said.
"It is through sincere connection with one another, including within our own diocese that emphatic understanding can be established, appreciation can be fostered, respect and trust can be deepened, and hopefully collaboration can become a living culture in our community."
Chow also read aloud an excerpt from a letter that he recently received from Archbishop Terrence Prendergast, S.J. The archbishop emeritus of Ottawa-Cornwall wrote: "Given the history of the church in China and Hong Kong, Catholicism can no longer be seen as a foreign religion, but as integral to Hong Kong society."
More than 6,000 people tuned in live to watch Chow's consecration Mass on YouTube.
Among those watching the livestream were priests and seminarians in Italy from the Pontifical Institute of Foreign Missions (PIME), who have launched a prayer campaign for the newly consecrated bishop.
Father Gianni Criveller, who is helping to organize the campaign at the PIME missionary seminary in the Italian city of Monza, told UCA News that he knows that Bishop Chow will face "great difficulties and challenges."
"The long-awaited consecration of the bishop calls for prayer and solidarity. Bishop Stephen has a very difficult task ahead of him humanly. In fact, it seems nearly impossible. However, we believe in the power of prayer and in the communion of those who entrust their lives to the Lord Jesus," he said.
Pope Francis appointed Chow to be bishop of Hong Kong in May. Before his appointment, Hong Kong had been without a permanent bishop since January 2019.
Chow, 62, previously served as the provincial of the Jesuits' Chinese Province. In that role, he led the Jesuit order in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, and mainland China as the Vatican-China deal was first signed and during the crackdown on Hong Kong's democracy protest movement.
Born in Hong Kong in 1959, Chow went on to study in the United States, earning a bachelor's and master's degree in psychology from the University of Minnesota, before entering the Society of Jesus in Dublin, Ireland at the age of 25.
During his Jesuit novitiate, he obtained a licentiate in philosophy in Ireland and then returned in 1988 to Hong Kong, where he was ordained to the priesthood on July 16, 1994.
Chow continued his studies at Loyola University in Chicago, where he earned a master's degree in organizational development in 1995. He spent the next five years working as a campus minister, vocations director, and ethics teacher at Wah Yan College in Kowloon and Hong Kong.
In 2000, Chow began a doctoral program at Harvard University's Graduate School of Education studying development and psychology. He graduated with a Doctorate in Education in 2006.
The following year, he made his final vows in the Jesuit order and worked as an assistant professor at the University of Hong Kong from 2008 to 2015 and Jesuit Formator from 2009 to 2017. He also served as the president of the Chinese Jesuit Province's education commission since 2009 and the Hong Kong Diocesan Council for Education since 2017.
Chow began his role as provincial of the Chinese Province of the Society of Jesus on Jan. 1, 2018.
Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China. Hong Kongers have historically enjoyed freedom of worship and evangelization, while in mainland China, by contrast, there is a long history of persecution for Christians who run afoul of the government.
With the 2020 passage of new "national security laws," the Chinese government seized more power to suppress pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, which it sees as a direct challenge to its power.
Hong Kong's National Security Law is broad in its definitions of terrorism, sedition, and foreign collusion. Under the law, a person who is convicted of the aforementioned crimes will receive a minimum of 10 years in prison, with the possibility of a life sentence.
On April 16, authorities in Hong Kong sentenced several Catholic pro-democracy figures, including lawyer Martin Lee and media tycoon Jimmy Lai, to prison sentences under the new security law.
"Hong Kong is going through perhaps the most dramatic phase of its history and has almost disappeared from the radar of international attention. However, those who love Hong Kong have not forgotten it," Criveller said.

The Right Side: SHOULD CHUCK SCHUMER BE INDICTED AND IMPEACDHED FOR VIOLATING TITLE 18 SECTION 115 OF UNITED STATES CODE…THREATENING SUPREME COURT JUSTICES…UNLESS HE'S EXEMPT FROM THE LAW…ABSOLUTELY!
T18S115 USC (b)… threatens to assault, kidnap, or murder, (cause harm to) a United States official, a United States judge, a Federal law enforcement officer, or an official whose killing would be a crime under such section, with intent to impede, intimidate, or interfere with such official, judge, or law enforcement officer while engaged in the performance of official duties, or with intent to retaliate against such official, judge, or law enforcement officer on account of the performance of official duties, shall be punished as provided in subsection (b).
In Senator Schumer's diatribe he threatened to do something undefined to two Supreme Court Justices to interfere with their lawful duty to interpret the Constitution and enforce our Rule of law. I don't believe his threat is to take them to a substandard fast food restaurant nor was it to "cast a spell on you".
His implied threat was to cause some form of harm…to do something to intimidate two Justices (all 9 Justices) to succumb to Schumer's superior mental capacity, to rule how "Schumer" believes the Supreme Court rule! His threat to cause harm is, in my humble opinion, a judicial assumption!
Here we go again Mr. Attorney General Barr…is it your opinion that he didn't "mean" what he said and you "forgive him" or are you going to bring it to a Federal Grand Jury as the Federal Rules of Criminal procedure require and ask them to decide…outside of the Federal District of Columbia (the swamp), of course!
Let's think about this for a second, Mr. AG…did the House misinterpret what our President said to the Ukraine President when they took an honest conversation and made it into what they said is evil, criminal and an Impeachable offense? We have an Amendment to the Constitution (14th) that demands that ALL citizens, not just Democrats, receive EQUAL justice!
We are still waiting to hear if you forgive former VP Joe Biden and his son for committing Hobbs Act -Extortion, Political Corruption, Wire Fraud, Mail Fraud and a host of other crimes. This guy is running for President of the United States …are you, Mr AG , going to ignore all the Probable Cause(PC) that Biden violated numerous, serious Federal laws even after a well-respected former US Attorney, Rudy Giuliani , says there is a paper trail and substantial evidence that Joe Biden is a "crook", Rudy's words and I agree! Do you really want to take the chance that this guy could be President?
Here's a thought even worse than that…how about Hillary Clinton as his "VICE" President (with emphasis on VICE). In this case, the word VICE is extremely accurate…for SURE she would be in charge of VICE. That is up until Joe has an accident and opens the wrong door at 33,000 feet, on Air Force 1, looking for the men's room, and falls 33,000 feet to his death, after all…everybody knows he is at the cusp of senile…AND our worst fears would be realized… Hillary Clinton becomes President!
Mr AG, do you really want to lay all that on America when it's so very preventable…you need to do your job and not recues yourself like you seem to be doing by laying everything off to other Prosecutors… in WDC !

WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?– Episode 4
You can learn a lot about someone's political beliefs by studying the things they consider absurd.
• "The Daily Wire" noticed an apparent contradiction in logic when comparing Elizabeth Warren's feelings about two unrelated issues. She often states that banning semi-automatic firearms will be effective. That's often followed by her assuring us that banning abortion does not work because people can still get abortions on the black market.
• The Cambridge, Massachusetts city council has decided to prohibit their police officers from arresting illegal aliens for driving a vehicle without a license. Their reason? "We need to protect our community members from a federal government that's out of control." They will be issuing a summons to court. And you know what will happen then? Nothing.
• What do Libya, Venezuela, Somalia, Bangladesh, Nigeria, Afghanistan, and Mexico have in common? They are all members of the United Nations Human Rights Council. Is it any wonder Israel receives about as many civil rights condemnations as all other nations combined? Countries receiving only minor attention include Syria, South Sudan, Myanmar, Iran, and North Korea.
• "The only patriot on the Right……to me is Romney. He's the only one who stuck his neck out. The rest of them are trash." – "The View's" Joy Behar
• Barack Obama finally couldn't hold back his disdain over Trump being given credit for the strong economy: "Eleven years ago……near the bottom of the worst recession in generations, I signed the Recovery Act, paving the way for more than a decade of economic growth and the longest streak of job creation in American history."
• "Legalize all the DACA students. These DACA students are more American than most Americans are." – Joe Biden
• "……the private insurance in America [is] the eighth leading cause of death in the country." – former Bernie Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver
• "The Daily Signal" reports that Conservative lawmakers are being labeled as interventionists who suddenly want to get involved in people's personal lives. They are reacting to the fact that it's becoming more common for doctors to prescribe hormones or perform related surgeries for minors.
• "The Daily Signal" also reported that the AMA and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent psychiatry have come out in favor of surgery and hormone transitions for children struggling with gender dysphoria. I understand from several sources that there's little evidence either for or against medical transitions for either adults or youth.
• "Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Non-binary people are non-binary. All gender identities are valid." Those are the words of London Mayor Sadiq Khan. I hope I'm not alone wondering what value can possibly come from officially endorsing inherently foolish and chaotic theories such as these.
• "It's one thing to deplore eugenics on ideological, political, moral grounds. It's quite another to conclude that it wouldn't work in practice. Of course it would. It works for cows, horses, pigs, dogs and roses. Why on earth wouldn't it work for humans? Facts ignore ideology." – Richard Dawkins, ethologist, evolutionary biologist, former Oxford professor, and atheist.
• "We're not going to take our options off the table." That's what Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Cal) said in response to a question whether they might consider a new impeachment for Trump's statements about Roger Stone's legal situation and conviction.
• How about AG William Barr? What are the Democrats saying about him? Elizabeth Warren says that "What Barr has done [re: Roger Stone sentence recommendation] should mean that we are demanding a resignation. And if that guy won't resign, then the House should start impeachment proceedings against him."
• Joe Biden exudes confidence: "I refuse to suggest any Democrat can lose. I think we could run Mickey Mouse against this president and have a shot."
• Michael Bloomberg was quoted as saying California is a model for the rest of the nation. I presume he was talking about their immigration policy.
So, what are you learning about me?
Note – I've been asked where to find these tidbits of absurdity. I've found them in many places of course, and I try to "multi-source" as many quotes as I have time for. One place you can find this type of information is in "The Patriot Post" which regularly publishes "Short Cuts."
Corona virus: Lessons to take away
There are many lessons to be learned from this corona virus crisis. To quote former President Barack Obama, this is a "teachable moment."
First, I'm on record. I warned about the dangers of this pandemic when few knew it even existed. So I think I'm justified to now report we are all overreacting at this point. Eighty-one percent of those infected develop mild symptoms. This is certainly going to be a hit to the global economy. But the sky isn't falling.
The lessons of corona virus:
1. Always expect the best, but prepare for the worst. Get educated and prepared just in case. That doesn't mean you should become hysterical, stop shopping, stop traveling and sell off stocks. In the long run, I always bet on America.
2. Thank President Donald Trump for quickly canceling all flights from China, a brilliant move. I remember when America was threatened by Ebola and Obama refused to cancel flights from Africa -- a tragic, naive mistake that could have killed thousands of Americans. We got lucky. Now we have a president who acts decisively and doesn't depend on luck.
3. This is living proof that President Trump is right about creating "Fortress America." Now, more than ever, we need walls and secure borders. We must know everything about every person entering our country. Democrats support open borders. That's pure madness. Open borders will lead to disease, death and massive damage to business, stocks, tourism and -- worst of all -- the Vegas economy.
4. President Trump is correct about government-run health care. Democrats want government in charge of every aspect of our health care. That's a disaster. Ask the people of China. Communist China's incompetent and botched response to this crisis is proof that the last thing we want is government in charge. The odds are America holds up dramatically better because our private health care is the best in the world. You want the Department of Motor Vehicles or the IRS in charge of health care? I don't.
5. If I get corona virus, I want an American doctor who earns $1 million a year as my physician. If you put government in charge and turn doctors into government bureaucrats, you'll attract the worst to medicine, not the best and brightest.
6. This is living proof that Trump is right about "America First." We need our supply chains right here in the United States. It is a matter of national security to manufacture antibiotics, prescription drugs, masks and other medical supplies inside America.
7. Odds are the corona virus vaccine will be developed in a capitalist nation. No socialist will ever find the cure. Why? Because capitalism works. The scientist or doctor who finds the cure will make a lot of money. God bless capitalism.
8. Israeli scientists claim they are only three weeks away from a vaccine. If that's correct, what will Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib say? The most prominent Democrats want to boycott Israel. Democratic presidential candidates just boycotted the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. Will all the Israel haters refuse the vaccine? Will all the miserable liberals who support the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement boycott the vaccine? Will Iran and other Muslim nations that chant, "Death to Israel," refuse the vaccine?
9. Lastly, stop listening to hysterical coverage from the biased, liberal mainstream media. They've failed a thousand times in three years to bring down the Trump economy. They screamed, "Recession is already here." Each time they were wrong. The media's track record is miserable. If they say we're headed for disaster, my guess is things are going to turn out just fine.

Life Lessons: RULES TO TEACH YOUR SON
1. Never shake a man's hand sitting down.
2. Don't enter a pool by the stairs.
3. The man cooking at the BBQ Grill is the closest thing to a king.
4. In a negotiation, never make the first offer.
5. Always request a late check-out.
6. When entrusted with a secret........ keep it.
7. Hold your heroes to a higher standard.
8. Return a borrowed car with a full tank of gas.
9. Play with passion or don't play at all…

The Sudden Crash of Chris Matthews
On the Monday before Super Tuesday, longtime MSNBC host Chris Matthews came on the air and promptly, tartly announced he was retiring, that "tonight will be my last 'Hardball.'" His language and tone strongly implied he was being pushed out.
Politically, it felt like part of a pattern. At the same time that Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar suddenly dropped out of the race in an apparent attempt to solidify the anti-Bernie Sanders vote, MSNBC was acting in the opposite direction, shedding a host that had become a liability with the Sanders socialists, who are a decent chunk of the MSNBC audience.
The host's insensitivity to women on the set played a part, but the offenses were verbal. He wasn't accused of sexual assault (Matt Lauer) or a "crusty paw" and exhibitionism (Charlie Rose). He was accused of saying things that made women uncomfortable, like "why haven't I fallen in love with you yet?" That's not a smart way for a married man to talk, but it doesn't compare with more malignant, more physical abusers.
The larger part of this is Matthews falling out of step with the Democratic Party's lunge to the left in the Trump era. The MSNBC star reacted badly by comparing the Sanders victory in Nevada to the fall of France to the Nazis during World War II. He also ripped into Sanders for lauding Fidel Castro's literacy programs.
"I have an attitude towards Castro," Matthews announced. "I believe if Castro and the Reds had won the Cold War, there would have been executions in Central Park and I might have been one of the ones getting executed."
That's not just out of step with today's left. Anyone who's watched the American media from the Bay of Pigs forward knows that top journalists from Barbara Walters to Dan Rather to Katie Couric have sounded just like Sanders in hailing Castro's alleged "workers paradise" with literacy programs and "free health care" and "one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world."
In this campaign, it seemed Matthews was still carrying on his great political love affair with Barack Obama, and his vice president, Joe Biden, who is now inaccurately categorized as the "moderate wing." He's best known for exclaiming how Obama's oh-so-American oratory gave him a "thrill" up his leg.
Because he worked at MSNBC, Matthews was never punished for comparing President Donald Trump with Hitler, Stalin or Satan. Historical metaphors were endlessly mangled. One night, he assailed Trump by blurring together Julius Caesar, Benito Mussolini and the cannibal-dictator Idi Amin. He criticized the president for alleged dementia -- and in rants like this, Matthews made people wonder about his own mental state.
Republicans were "North Korean soldiers," and Trump's children were "Uday and Qusay," the crazy, murderous offspring of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. The Washington Free Beacon counted that Matthews compared the Trumps with the "Russian royal family" the Romanovs -- who were executed in the communist revolution -- at least 15 times.
The relentless babble of Matthews might recall for some bookworms the words of H.L. Mencken decrying President Warren Harding's English: "It is so bad that a sort of grandeur creeps into it. ... It is rumble and bumble. It is flap and doodle. It is balder and dash."
There are consolations to the sudden end of "Hardball with Chris Matthews." We may confidently assume that no one in Hollywood will make a nasty cartoon of a movie about MSNBC, with a blonde bombshell playing a fictional intern absorbing creepy compliments from Matthews.

The Right Side: Ground Hog Day .... All Over Again...!
On April 28, 2016, I wrote this column which was published by artvoice.com under THE RIGHT SIDE, it is reprinted here in its entirety with new comments in parenthesis;
In order to get America back on its feet we need to create jobs for the American people and do it fast. (DONE, IN TWO YEARS EVEN AFTER SOMEONE SAID, "Trump needs a magic wand")
We are in an energy and economic crisis. We must become energy independent if we are to survive as a Nation. (DONE)
Right now the Saudi King and his OPEC followers are running our economy with an overwhelming influence on the price of oil. (STOPPED)
When North Dakota started hydro-fracking and pumping oil, we increased domestic output to over a million barrels a day – and we did it in less than 2 years. OPEC panicked and started dropping the price of oil about a year ago – for no other reason than to shut down our fracking operations in North Dakota.
Then oil production in North Dakota's Bakken shut down, because prices couldn't sustain production costs. The average pay to all North Dakotans was over $60,000 per annum, just over a year ago – and unemployment was near zero. Not anymore.
The cost of oil being down is a good thing, but how and why it got there is not. Saudi Arabia should not be exercising that kind of control over our economy. (STOPPED)
President Barack Obama is a puppet of the Saudi King. A President of the United States of America shouldn't bow to anybody. (GONE)
He shouldn't hide his identity; he shouldn't hide his scholarship records; he shouldn't hide who paid for his expensive post college tour to Muslim Nations. (GONE)
A real President doesn't hide his passport from the American people and he doesn't alter his Selective Service records. He doesn't produce a "Birth Certificate" after looking for it for 4 years only to learn that it is forensically suspect. (GONE)
When Obama directed the EPA to shut down 40% of our power plants because they are coal fired, I wrote several articles warning of Obama's use of the Environmental Protection Agency as a unilateral legislative branch. That's unconstitutional. The Supreme Court has said as much. (JUSTICE ANTON SCALIA SCOLDED PRES OBAMA TWICE AND 2 WEEKS AFTER THE SECOND SCOLDING, JUSTICE SCALIA WAS FOUND DEAD[with no autopsy performed])
If a President Donald Trump were to request that all 50 States take part in an energy-to -prosperity program by building a single new power plant in each state – powered by what each state feels is in its best interest – we would see America moving in the right direction. We'll revive steel plants and cement factories – and could do so with American materials and American citizens. (PRESIDENT TRUMP MADE THE US,
ENERGY INDEPENDENT IN HIS OWN WAY, USING AMERICAN LABOR AND PRODUCTS)
On Tuesday, March 15th,(2016) Hillary Clinton echoed Obama's words in 2008: "I will close all coal mines and coal processing operations." Clinton admits that she plans to follow in the Obama Administration's footsteps. (STOPPED COLD)
This election isn't a question of Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton. It's a question of whether you support the American Constitution – a brilliant triumph of human governance unparalleled in the annals of global history – or not. I, for one, will be voting for our Constitution – and in doing so, will be voting to save American itself. (Substitute ANY 2020 Democrat Candidate's name for the name, "Hillary Clinton" and tell America, what's the difference? What changed besides America being well on the Road to Greatness, thanks to America's choice to keep our Constitution by electing our current president)?!

Free-market capitalism and redistributionist socialism
The American Conservative Union's Conservative Political Action Conference has grown larger and more powerful each year since it began in 1974. It is, by far, the country's largest annual gathering of conservatives and a barometer of their success and enthusiasm.
The 2020 CPAC, which ran through Sunday, showcases a free-market, anti-socialist, pro-American juggernaut as the November election draws near. CPAC devours threats of "Democratic socialism" like energy drinks.
By running a slate of the farthest-left candidates in the history of American politics, the Democratic Party has ignited a conservative reawakening one does not hear of in the mainstream national press.
Vice President Mike Pence spoke Thursday. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, President Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka and Brexit leader Nigel Farage were among Friday's speakers. Trump on Saturday.
Regardless of the topics, the message always returns to life is good and only getting better in the USA. CPAC attendees and speakers believe nearly every American is better off today than four years ago. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. Try "fixing" it and they will try stopping you.
The day-and-night talkathon combines thousands of economic conservatives, isolationist conservatives, interventionist conservatives, neo-conservatives, paleo-conservatives, the religious right, secularist social conservatives, "Gault's Gulch" libertarians, unaffiliated voters, a handful of curious liberals, Democrats and more. Anyone who considers this a monolithic movement of groupthink has never been to CPAC.
Seemingly limitless cocktail parties connect right-leaning journalists, lawyers, politicos and grassroots activists.
"To read the itinerary is to be amazed at the success of conservatism," explains National Review. "Over the past few decades, it has gone from 'irritable mental gestures which seek to resemble ideas,' in Lionel
Trilling's infamous 1950 description, to a full-fledged movement."
Despite polite internal disagreements about same-sex marriage, legalized pot, abortion and interventionist policies, one common philosophy unites everyone at CPAC. It is a conviction that the United States is a force of good in the world and should put its own interests first. Socialism is antithetical to the United States and must be stopped.
The "America first" doctrine of President Donald Trump has reunited and energized this hodge-podge movement that last peaked during the Reagan Revolution of the 1980s. Words on a page cannot convey the energy at the sold-out 2.4 million-square-foot Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center in Maryland, just outside Washington, D.C. This crowd exudes confidence that Republicans will maintain the White
House, the Senate and take back the House in November. It is hard to find any semblance of negativity.
Attendees and speakers at CPAC do not convey grievances. They believe the country has reached a level of success never seen since its inception. They want more of the same, not a change in course.
White House Economic Adviser Larry Kudlow and Ivanka Trump spelled it out by presenting a litany of economic indicators that show improved lifestyles for women, minorities, millennials, blue-collar workers and all other Americans. Reduced taxes and regulations, they argue, have created unprecedented opportunities to seek and obtain meaningful and gainful employment.
"For the first time in history, there are more women working in the workforce than there are men," Ivanka Trump said. "Of all new jobs added last year, 72% went to women ... Women are winning, but everyone is winning."
Kudlow assured the audience the coronavirus cannot take down the American economy. Conversely, socialism almost guarantees economic failure.
"The American model of free enterprise will whip socialism every time hands down," Kudlow said. " ... The doctrine here is freedom and awarding success and individual enterprise and using all of our God-given talents."
If advocates of socialism are selling out massive resorts to celebrate their cause, we are not seeing it. Regardless, leading candidates in the Democratic presidential primary are running on the hope a good chunk of the country thinks something is terribly wrong. They advocate turning against two centuries of American free enterprise.
November's election won't be about candidates and their personalities. This election will test two competing and disparate ideas: free-market capitalism and redistributionist socialism.
The socialist movement will need substantial momentum to compete. Defenders of capitalism are organized like never before and anxious to fight for their cause. They fear socialist chic threatens their families, businesses, finances, values and lifestyles. They are well-informed, articulate, confident and committed to winning at any cost.

Joe Biden & Hunter
It's payback time.
Democrats tried to impeach Trump and have him removed from the ballot. Nobody is going to listen to complaints about the GOP returning the favor by going after Biden and his son.
The thing is though the Democrats served him up basically by pushing the whole impeachment issue. The other thing is that the GOP doesn't need to prove anything. All they need to do is get him in a scenario where he doesn't know what day it is or mixes up key facts and people etc.
They only need to show he is not fully mentally competent to hold that office. At that point it's sad but pretty much over.
What's really weird is that Bernie supporters are actually helping the effort by pointing out that Biden is obviously senile.

Obamanomics
To the Editor,
Obama annihilated business and growth. His despise for this country was obvious. Corporate management stewed on this for years during his administration, trying to figure out how we could keep our businesses profitable, or afloat.
We started to show signs of hope as his presidency was in its last year because we knew things would be better once he was gone.
Once Democrats lost control of Congress and the White House, Trump brought jobs back to the US, the tax break, etc etc, the economy surged, business owners and consumers alike had faith in our economy again. They invested, they grew, they paid more, they hired more.

Everybody is freaking out about Corona Virus and pushing for a fast vaccine! As someone who has been severely injured by a new drug released without adequate testing data I feel that it would be foolish to rush into using any new drug or vaccine designed to treat what has so far shown itself to be far less dangerous than the seasonal flu.
If the virus had a 20% mortality rate it would be a different story, but at around 2% for those sick enough to go to the doctor for care ... not so much.
Chill out people, Trumps early travel ban and quarentene of Americans that were suspect due to their travel plans nipped it in the bud. Unless the statistics change, according to the CDC at least 12,000 people have died from influenza (Flu) between Oct. 1, 2019 through Feb. 1, 2020, and the number of deaths may be as high as 30,000.
Love your paper, keep up the good work.

Hughes Professional Carpet Cleaning, Inc.
We are here to help when you need a local contractor but you don't have the time or patience to try to find the best Carpet Cleaning companies in the Atlanta area. Relax. We've done the research for you. We save Atlanta area homeowners time by conducting thousands of due diligence home contractor surveys and interviews with homeowners. Only Carpet Cleaning companies that "earn" a Five Star Rating through exceptional service and work performance are listed above. Our stringent selection process ensures you'll be working with the best Carpet Cleaning contractors that provide top quality service to the Atlanta area.
Bait and switch tactics where low ball phone prices are promised. However, when carpet cleaners arrive, prices are elevated 2 to 3 times more than the original quote.
(2) Remove stains quickly. When spills occur, use (seltzer or 1 part white vinegar to 1 part water) and a colorfast towel to blot up spill. Never dig or rub a spot. Most spot carpet cleaners available contain significant detergents often resulting in residue build up. Absorb as much of the moisture as possible with dry paper towels.
(3) Professional carpet cleaning is recommended approximately every 6 to 12 months, depending on traffic and care.
(6) Pet accidents are most effectively cleaned by a professional carpet cleaning company. Pet Urine should be treated as soon as possible. As a short term fix the homeowner can use a mixture of one part white vinegar to two parts water. Lightly spray the area with the mixture and using a white color fast towel. Continue process until smell is reduced to an acceptable level.
(8) If your air ducts for your air-conditioning and heating system (ducting system) have not been cleaned, you may want to consider cleaning them as they can be a source of accumulated dust and would continue to contribute to more than usual carpet cleaning intervals.
(9) Employ walk-off mats at major entrances to your home.
(10) Do not help carpet cleaning contractors or their workers and do not lend them your tools. If a worker is hurt while you are assisting (e.g., holding a ladder) or is hurt using one of your tools, you may be liable via a 'tort claim' by the worker or carpet cleaning company.
(11) Frequent thorough vacuuming once or twice a week, depending on soiling, will increase the life of the carpet and area rugs.

Nigeria: 'Mysterious disease' kills nearly 1,000 people
At least 979 people, including health care workers and high-level officials, died in North-Western Nigeria Kano State due to a mysterious disease, said the country's health minister.
Osagie Ehanire said all patients, including high-level officials and health staff, died only within the last five weeks.
According to the initial reports, most who died were over 65 years old, the minister added.
He also said around 50-60% of these deaths are due to the novel coronavirus.
The government initially claimed that the "mysterious disease" was not COVID-19, and the deaths were due to other deadly diseases such as meningitis, hypertension, diabetes, and malaria.
The cumulative number of officially confirmed COVID-19 cases in Nigeria is 12,801, with the death toll standing at 361.
At least 999 of the deaths were recorded in the northwestern Kano state.
The pandemic has killed more than 406,500 people worldwide, with more than 7.11 million confirmed cases, while recoveries have surpassed 3.29 million, according to figures compiled by Johns Hopkins University of the US.
After originating in Wuhan, China last December, COVID-19 has spread to at least 188 countries and regions.

What is the National Historic Register District?
The National Register is the official list of our nation's cultural resources worthy of preservation, and was authorized under the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966.
The list is maintained by the National Park Service. Properties listed in the National Register include districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects.
What are the benefits of having a National Historic Register District in Ridgway
National recognition that the district and its properties are significant to the Nation, the State and the community. It is a prestigious honor to be listed!
Eligibility for federal tax incentives (the existing 20% investment tax credit for rehabilitation (exterior and interior) of income producing contributing properties.
Helps our downtown revitalization efforts. A historic district is a "draw" for visitors, bringing more tourism dollars into our local economy. It will also improve our abilities to win grants for economic development.
Are there any drawbacks to a National Historic Register district?
NO! Listing in the National Register does NOT interfere with a private property owner's right to alter, manage or dispose of the property. It does not affect local zoning ordinances. A National Register District is NOT the same as a Local Historic District (which can place restrictions on property owner's).
We hope to have the contributing property inventory available on our web site in the future. Until that time, if you want to know if your house is identified as a contributing property, please contact Dale Lauricella at (814)772-7657.

La Grèce peut-elle changer l'UE ?
Auteur Marica Frangakis | 27 Nov 14 | Posted under: Grèce
Ce qui s'est passé en Grèce depuis le début de de la crise financière en 2007-2008 et de la crise de l'euro en 2009-2010 ne vaut pas seulement pour ce seul pays. La Grèce n'est pas un cas exceptionnel
The Greek crisis displays many characteristics shared by other member-states, albeit in extremes. It is the extreme shape and dynamics of the Greek case that have acted as a catalyst for change in its domestic social and political landscape with the rise of the non-traditional, radical left. However, for such a change to influence the course of events there needs to be a broader change in European affairs.
EU- policy has to change
In particular, the current economic and social policy of austerity hitting the vast majority of the people in the EU, on the one hand, and of unconditional support for the European banks, on the other, needs to be re-examined and, to a large extent, reversed. Thus, what is implicit is a two-way effect. For the radical left in Greece to succeed in its goals there needs to be a broader shift of the EU away from tested and failed economic and social policies. The fulfilment of this requirement however implies that the EU will also undergo a fundamental change in terms of its policy and dogma. It is in this sense Greece may change the course of the EU, with which it is intrinsically linked.
More specifically, the current debt overhang obstructs member-states' efforts at fiscal expansion via increased consumption and investment. The abstention of the European Central Bank from the traditional central bank role, of a lender-of-last-resort, prevents the indebted EU member-states from seeking a way out of their present predicament. The negative implications of this state of affairs are amplified by the official doctrine of enhanced austerity adopted by the EU institutions. For example, the fiscal thresholds of the Stability and Growth Pact have been made even more restrictive by the Fiscal Compact, already constitutionalized in the EU member-states. In this way, the Great Recession triggered by the financial crisis is deeper and more long-lasting in the EU and especially in the Eurozone, by comparison with other parts of the world, such as the USA. Not surprisingly, the rate of growth of the EU economies has been slowing down to a dangerously low level, unemployment remains persistently high, while the rate of inflation is very low, turning into a fully-fledged deflation in certain member states such as Greece.
The world's biggest economic damage
Greece was the first Eurozone country to be exposed to the pressures of the government bond markets, which the ECB did not abate due to its limited mandate. The financial assistance provided by its Eurozone partners in 2010 was granted on especially harsh fiscal austerity conditions, as well as structural reforms, mainly in the labour market, including the suspension of the minimum wage and the elimination of employment protection measures. The negative impact on the economy became evident soon after, while the greatest part of such assistance was directed to the European and Greek banks.
The fast economic decline soon turned into a humanitarian crisis, as unemployment increased to unprecedented heights, while public services – education and health – collapsed. Furthermore, the fiscal indicators, measured in relation to a fast shrinking GDP, kept rising, thus locking the country into an unsustainable position of economic and social decay. In fact, it has been found that the long-run damage to the economy over the period 2007 to the present has been greatest in Greece, by comparison to other OECD countries, while the country is faced with poor prospects going forward1.
The Greek Left and its program
The extreme circumstances observed in the Greek case have led to a deep restructuring of the domestic political scene. The social democrats and the conservatives, alternating in power since the fall of the Junta in 1974, have lost credibility, while a small left party, SYRIZA (acronym for Coalition of Radical Left), became the main opposition party in the national elections of 2012 and the first party in the European elections of 2014. There have also emerged a populist right wing and a fascist party. In particular, the latter is on the ascendant; this is a worrying trend also observed in other EU countries.
It is widely expected that SYRIZA will get into government in the next elections. Hence, its programme acquires special interest. At the outset, it should be stressed that SYRIZA is committed to keeping Greece in the Eurozone. At the same time, it is committed to restarting growth through (i) confronting the humanitarian crisis; (ii) restructuring production; (iii) reforming the public administration.
A European Debt Conference is required
However, for these policies to take effect, the country's debt overhang needs to be dealt with. Although this has reached great proportions in Greece, it is fundamentally a European problem. Hence, government debt needs to be dealt with on a basis of solidarity amongst Eurozone member states. It must be cancelled &/or mutualized, at least in part. This is a central issue which needs to be decided upon by the EU member states at a European conference convened for this purpose. The mutualization of government debt may be implemented in any of the following ways:
· Restructuring –For example, 50% of existing public debt may be swapped with zero-interest perpetuities, so that the corresponding part of the debt is wiped out. The agency best suited for this task is the ECB;
· Intervention by the ECB in government bond markets - The ECB assumes its role as a lender of last resort (LOLR) with respect to governments.
· The common issue of Eurobonds - Each country's debt would be guaranteed by all the others. The rationale is that the overall level of European debt is not high by comparison to that of the US and Japan. It is however distributed in an uneven way across the EU and the Eurozone.
In addition to dealing with the debt overhang, solutions must be put in place on the European level in relation to low inflation and the threat of deflation, since these are also European problems. Such solutions include the implementation of a large investment programme, the needs of which should be excluded from the strict limitations of the official EU fiscal indicators. Also, the repayment of the public debt needs to be tied to the rate of growth of the economy, so that fiscal space is created for the economy to restart.
A majority want change
Rough times lie ahead for Greece and the EU. The success of a left-wing government in Greece is going to affect is future path, while it may be expected to have a wider impact on EU developments. The rise of left forces in other countries, such as the PODEMOS in Spain, indicates that the political left is gaining in support from people who do not necessarily identify with the left.
Greece and the Greek left cannot and should not go it alone. A future Greek left government needs to work closely with other European progressive forces in building a new paradigm; one of social and ecological sustainability, of democracy and of economic progress. In this sense, Greece – a notion which goes beyond the left forces, as it includes the majority of the population who look forward to a much needed change in Greek and European politics – may indeed bring about such a change.

Director of National Supercomputing Shenzhen Center: supercomputing is not advanced and advanced.
Original title: Feng Shengzhong, director of the National Supercomputing Center of Shenzhen: super computing is not advanced and advanced.
Supercomputing is not advanced and advanced -- Interview with Feng Shengzhong, director of the National Supercomputing Center in Shenzhen.
China is building an unprecedented 1 billion yuan "superconducting computer" capable of developing new weapons, cracking codes, analyzing intelligence and helping to stem the surge in energy demand, Hong Kong media reported recently.
This news once again attracted the attention of all parties to China's supercomputing development. "Over the past 40 years of reform and opening up, China's supernumeric technology has grown from scratch and gradually developed to the world's leading level. In this process, the scientific spirit of seeking truth and pragmatism of scientific researchers and the mission needed by the country have played an important role." Feng Shengzhong, director of the National Supercomputing Center of Shenzhen, told ScienceDaily.
"Whether the superconducting computers reported by the media or the E-class computers we are developing are driven by scientific laws and national needs, not advanced for the sake of advancement." Feng Shengzhong emphasized.
Science and Technology Daily: Supercomputers are playing an increasingly important role in various fields. As you mentioned earlier, the spirit of science plays an important role in it. Can you elaborate on that?
Feng Shengzhong: The scientific spirit I understand is the rational spirit of seeking truth from facts, seeking truth from facts and being pioneering and innovative. China's supercomputer industry has developed rapidly, and has become as famous as aerospace, high-speed rail and other Chinese business cards. This is the result of persistent exploration and innovation by generations of computer users.
Remember that the western developed countries imposed an embargo policy on China, China tried every means to buy a supercomputer, but to be locked in a "glass house" can only be used under the supervision of foreign sellers, Chinese workers must not touch the core parts of the machine. This is very stimulating for us. Through the arduous efforts of several generations, we now have Shenwei, Galaxy, Dawn series, to some extent, China's supercomputers can compete with developed countries.
Science and Technology Daily: Supercomputers are important theoretical verification tools, through which we often find that the calculation results do not agree with previous theories, at this time, dare to question is particularly important. How do you feel that you are more sensitive to such situations and get original breakthroughs?
Feng Shengzhong: Computation is not only a tool for verification, but also a means of scientific discovery and a fulcrum of technological innovation. Figuratively speaking, the role of computing can be summarized as knowledge discovery, simulation conjecture, verification design, intelligence empowerment and so on. Now the fourth paradigm is data-driven scientific discovery, which is also based on computing.
It is generally believed that computation, theory and experiment are three parallel scientific discovery methods, which complement each other. When the calculated results are not consistent with theoretical inferences and experimental observations, we need to check whether there are loopholes in the calculation, of course, this inconsistency may also be an opportunity for technological innovation. At this time, researchers should insist on bold assumptions, carefully verify, dare to challenge the original theory or conclusion, and seize the possible breakthrough point of innovation. From this point of view, the application of supercomputers is also conducive to promoting the development of positivism among the scientific researchers in China. Computation is the carrier of scientific spirit.
Science and Technology Daily: In the course of the development of supercomputers in China, there are still some different voices. They think that there are duplicate construction and low utilization rate. What do you think?
Feng Shengzhong: Compared with the needs of current economic and social development, infrastructure construction needs to be ahead of schedule. The construction of supercomputers is also true. Of course, because the supercomputer life cycle is less than 10 years, too advanced is also wasteful, the state should increase the overall planning in this regard. But more importantly, attention should be paid to the application of supercomputers. Over the years, the breadth and depth of China's application of supernumeracy have greatly expanded, won two Gordon Bell Awards, but the room for improvement is still very large. In my opinion, we should consider establishing several national centers for the application and innovation of supercomputing technology and increasing the application of supercomputer technology.
This is also the direction our country has been trying hard to calculate the Shenzhen center. Shenzhen, as a city of scientific and technological innovation, has built a large number of top-level scientific research institutions such as Pengcheng Laboratory and Southern University of Science and Technology. They have huge demand for high-performance computing in industry, research and public services. Since its establishment, the Shenzhen Center has made outstanding contributions to Shenzhen and even the whole country in the fields of scientific computing, engineering computing, cloud computing, large data, artificial intelligence and animation rendering. At present, the Center is actively planning to participate in the Ministry of Science and Technology E-level computer research and development projects, the future, E-level supercomputers will Shenzhen International Industrial Science and Technology Innovation Center and Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao Dawan District to provide a strong driving force.
