Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over Enforcement Campaign to Run Through January 1
More than 159,000 Vehicle and Traffic Law Violation Tickets Issued During Last Year's Enforcement Campaign, Including 5,677 Arrests For DWI
Governor Andrew M. Cuomo today announced that state and local law enforcement agencies throughout New York will be stepping up patrols to crack down on impaired driving during the holiday travel season. The enforcement campaign will run through Friday, January 1. This crackdown is part of the national "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" initiative designed to reduce alcohol and drug-related traffic crashes. It is sponsored by STOP-DWI with funding from the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee.
"New York has zero tolerance for impaired driving," Governor Cuomo said. "Motorists who drive under the influence not only put themselves at risk, but endanger the lives of everyone else. Be safe and smart this holiday season, whether you're on the road or not. If you must travel, drive sober or have a plan in place to get where you're going safely."
During the 2019 enforcement campaign, law enforcement throughout the state arrested 5,677 people for impaired driving. In total, 159,133 tickets were issued for vehicle and traffic law violations. Full breakdown here:
Violation Number of Tickets
Impaired Driving 5,677
Distracted Driving 6,118
Move Over Law 1,014
Other Violations 113,637
Seatbelt 3,602
Speeding 29,085
Grand Total 159,133
DMV Commissioner and Chair of the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee Mark J.F. Schroeder said, "The Governor's Traffic Safety Committee is proud to support these initiatives that help get impaired drivers off New York's roads. I thank our law enforcement and STOP-DWI officials for their work in making holiday travel safer for everyone. It's simple, have a plan to get home safely."
NYS STOP-DWI Foundation Chairman Reginald Crowley said, "Every year, too many lives are ruined by impaired driving. Make sure you have a safe ride home."
State Police Acting Superintendent Kevin P. Bruen said, "As we celebrate the holiday season, we want to remind motorists to celebrate safely. If plans include alcohol, please plan ahead for a safe ride home. Driving impaired is a choice that can have serious, and sometimes deadly, consequences. The public's safety is our top priority. As always, our Troopers will be highly visible and will have zero tolerance for impaired, reckless and distracted drivers."
NYS Association of Chiefs of Police President Chief Patrick D. Phelan said, "I encourage all of our association members to actively participate in this critically important statewide high visibility enforcement campaign. We share a unified goal in partnership with local, county and state law enforcement personnel to detect and remove impaired drivers from our roadways and to make them as safe as possible during this holiday season."
Washington County Sheriff and NYS Sheriffs' Association President Jeffrey Murphy said, "The Sheriffs of New York State know many things will be different this holiday season but one thing remains the sameour dedication to keeping people safe on our roads. Impaired driving is unnecessary, dangerous, and illegal. Enjoy the holidays and have a plan to not drive impaired."
A major component of New York's efforts to combat impaired driving is the STOP-DWI program. STOP-DWI stands for "Special Traffic Options Program for Driving While Intoxicated." The state's STOP-DWI program is the nation's first self-sustaining impaired driving program. The program's efforts are funded from fines paid by convicted impaired drivers. Importantly, the program's coordinators are comprised of diverse professional backgrounds, including law enforcement and non-law enforcement.
The STOP-DWI program was created to empower counties to coordinate local efforts to reduce alcohol and other drug-related traffic crashes. All 62 counties have opted to participate. Some examples of programs funded by STOP-DWI are: specially trained police units dedicated to DWI enforcement, hiring of special prosecutors and probation officers to handle the caseload, monitoring ignition interlock devices, supporting rehabilitation services, and developing public information and education campaigns tailored to communities within their respective regions. To learn more, visit http://www.stopdwi.org/.
In addition to STOP-DWI, the GTSC supports training for Drug Recognition Experts (DRE). DREs are specially trained officers utilized by law enforcement when a driver appears to be impaired, but police have ruled out alcohol as the cause or sole cause of impairment. A DRE receives extensive training that has been approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the International Association of Chiefs of Police. The training allows officers to observe and document signs and indicators of impairment within each of seven drug categories including illicit and prescription drugs.

Nora Lowe, a Byram Hills High School sophomore was selected as a national semifinalist for the Mars 2020 "Name the Rover" contest and is now eligible to enter into the next round of competition.
NASA's Mars 2020 rover is one step closer to having its own name after 155 students across the U.S. were chosen as semifinalists. Just one student will be selected to win the grand prize–the honor of naming the rover and an invitation to see the spacecraft launch in July 2020 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida.
The currently unnamed rover is a robotic scientist weighing more than 2,300 pounds (1,000 kilograms). It will search for signs of past microbial life on Mars, characterize the planet's climate and geology, collect samples and pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet.
"This rover is the first leg of a round-trip mission to Mars that will advance understanding in key science fields like astrobiology," said Lori Glaze, director of NASA's Planetary Science Division. "This contest is a cool way to engage the next generation and encourage careers in all STEM fields. The chosen name will help define this rover's unique personality among our fleet of Martian spacecraft."
Nora's entry was selected as New York's winner in the high school category. The suggested name was Ambition Tardigrada.

February 2, 2016 by The Inside Press

Yankees Manager Joe Girardi served as guest speaker at UJA-Federation of New York's 10th Annual Sports Talk. The event took place on Thursday, January 28at Mulino's at Lake Isle Country Club in Eastchester, New York. It drew nearly 250 guests who came to support UJA-Federation's life-changing work and hear from Girardi, who has guided the Yankees to five playoffs and one World Series Championship since being named manager in 2007.
A Purchase, New York, resident, Girardi successfully translated the skills he learned during his 15 years as a Major League Baseball catcher into his winning career as manager. As a major league catcher, he played for the Chicago Cubs, Colorado Rockies, St. Louis Cardinals, and Yankees. He also dedicates much of his time to philanthropy, particularly his Catch 25 Foundation, which provides support to those afflicted with ALS, Alzheimer's disease, cancer, and fertility issues.
Guests had the opportunity to hear about the work of UJA-Federation, which over the course of its 99-year history has become the largest local philanthropy in the world, supporting a network of nearly 100 nonprofit organizations that serve every population from early childhood to old age, and that offer critical assistance in almost every life circumstance.
"It's amazing how we're immediately on the ground — whether that's here in New York during Hurricane Sandy, in Israel during last summer's rocket attacks, in Japan following the earthquake, or in Ukraine when the Jewish community came under threat. The impact we make is extraordinary," said Event Chair Ken Fuirst of Chappaqua. "But the difference we make isn't only in France or Israel or even downtown New York. We touch lives right here in Westchester."
Event chairs were Barbara Bel of Scarsdale, Carl Finger of Scarsdale, Ken Fuirst of Chappaqua, Jeff Kapelus of New Rochelle, David Perlmutter of Chappaqua, and Scott Zemachson of Scarsdale. Richard Leroy of Briarcliff Manor served as auction chair.

David Buchwald's Newly Passed Bill to Help Keep Drunk Drivers Off the Road
November 24, 2015 by Inside Press
New Law Follows One Month After State Comptroller Finds Significant Non-Compliance with Leandra's Law
As New Yorkers look forward to celebrating the upcoming holiday season in a safe and responsible fashion, Governor Andrew Cuomo has signed into law legislation to reduce drunk driving among repeat violators of state law. The bill's sponsor, Assemblyman David Buchwald (D-Westchester) introduced the legislation (bill number A.6222) earlier this year to close a loophole that allows repeat DWI offenders under probation to potentially operate a motor vehicle while intoxicated, despite the generally mandated use of an ignition interlock device (IID) under what is known as Leandra's Law.
An IID is an apparatus that is similar to a breathalyzer and is often attached to the ignition system of a motor vehicle as a condition of probation stemming from traffic-related infractions. The vehicle can only be started if the driver blows into the ignition interlock and his or her blood alcohol content (BAC) is below the legal limit of .08 BAC. Assemblyman Buchwald's legislation, sponsored by Senator Michael Nozzolio (R-Seneca Falls) in the State Senate, strengthens part of Leandra's Law, which was signed in 2009 and named after 11-year-old Leandra Rosado, who was killed in a motor vehicle operated by a drunk driver.
Last month, State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli published an audit of drunk drivers who were ordered to install IIDs in New York City between 2012 and 2014. The audit found that of over 53,000 IIDs ordered by the courts, only 13,810 drivers, or just 25 percent, were compliant.1 For those who violated their probation or conditional discharge, the requirement to use an IID could not be extended to make up for the missed time on probation during which the violation occurred. The new law grants the courts the ability to extend the sentence of mandated use of an ignition interlock device if a DWI offender violates his or her probation or conditional discharge. Buchwald's bill, which was recommended by New York's Office of Court Administration, provides judges the ability to extend the period in which the use of an IID is mandated in the vehicle of a DWI offender who violates his or her probation.
"Over the years we've seen senseless accidents and tragedies as a result of drunk driving in every corner of the state," New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli said. "Ignition interlocks, coupled with aggressive monitoring of DWI offenders, are an effective way to prevent intoxicated drivers from getting behind the wheel and endangering the welfare of pedestrians and motorists. I commend Assemblyman Buchwald, as well as Senator Nozzolio, for their efforts to strengthen Leandra's Law and thank Gov. Cuomo for signing this much needed measure into law."
"Leandra Rosado's story reminds us that life is precious, and in her memory New York State has taken steps to reduce the tragic loss of life due to drunk driving," said Assemblyman Buchwald. "Ignition interlock devices save lives, and by granting our courts the ability to extend the period of mandated time these devices are required for repeat offenders, we will increase the chance of preventing further tragedies like Leandra's from happening in the future. I am thankful that Governor Cuomo signed into law this initiative to reduce drunken driving and keep repeat offenders off the roadways. I wish all New Yorkers a happy and safe holiday season."
"Mothers Against Drunk Driving thanks Assemblyman David Buchwald for working to pass A.6222, and Governor Andrew Cuomo for signing this bill into law, that will increase the use of interlocks by individuals that have been found guilty of driving drunk in New York State," states Rich Mallow, State Executive Director, Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, 20 percent of all children who are killed in traffic-related accidents perish as the direct result of a drunk driver.2 In addition, over 22,000 DWI offenders in New York State are repeat violators, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.3 The new law helps prevent this unnecessary loss of life by requiring that probationary terms remain in effect after a declaration of delinquency, and allowing the court the ability to extend the end date of the oversight and utilization of the IID.
Assemblyman Buchwald's legislation passed unanimously in both the State Assembly and the State Senate.

Cinema Saints: John Carpenter
Posted by Sean W. Fallon | May 14, 2015 | Cinema Saints | 0 |
John Carpenter works in two genres: horrors and westerns.
The temptation would be to say he does science fiction too, but you would be wrong. Even his most sci-fi-y works like They Live and Escape from New York follow the western premise of a lone stranger comes into town and gets embroiled in a situation he has to straighten out. The same applies to Big Trouble in Little China, which actually was originally written as a Western before being updated to the modern day-set wacky headfuck that it became. He deals in men of few words (or a ton of words as in Little China when Kurt Russell's character will not shut the hell up) who see an injustice or someone in need, and step in to save the day. It's no wonder that Carpenter cites his movie heroes as Howard Hawks and John Ford.
His horror though is where he really stands out as a genius to me. The Thing is still, thirty years later, one of the best horror movies ever made and sets the Gold Standard for movies in which people you think aren't monsters might be monsters. It has been poorly imitated numerous times but never beaten. And obviously is a remake of a Howard Hawks movie, which incidentally features very prominently in Carpenter's other horror classic, Halloween.
I recently watched Halloween for the first time in a long time. It was excellent. Spooky, jumpy, chilling. There was no need for a sympathetic backstory for the villain, Michael Myers was just unstoppable evil in coveralls and a William Shatner mask. When I finished the movie I went outside to buy milk. It's autumn here in Australia so I walked down my tree-lined street in the dark. Brown leaves fell from the trees onto the silent road and I realised, as I strolled to the corner shop, that I was scared. I was scared that something would be following me or about to jump out at me. Not many movies have had that effect on me and for a horror film surely that is the greatest review.
Carpenter's other great skill is his soundtracks, which he composes himself. We have seen a re-emergence of these synth heavy soundtracks which pile layers of atmosphere upon the action on screen in movies like The Guest and It Follows. Both of these movies owe tons to Carpenter, one for its execution and ability to build tension (It Follows) and the other for it's Halloween setting and balls to the walls-ness (The Guest).
So why is Carpenter a Cinema Saint? Because when he is on fire he is unstoppable. His best movies feel like they have no concept of the rules of what movies should be about. He says to hell with it and makes a movie in which Kurt Russell fights Chinese sorcerers or Rowdy Roddy Piper sees the true face of the world and then fights Keith David in an alley for fifteen minutes. His movies are fun to watch with great soundtracks and his horrors will make you scared to go out and buy milk.

Some geek from Mashable recorded this off of his telly last night in the States.
When I was at the Apple Store in London last year I wanted to buy socks for my brand new iPod, and nothing more. But then I stood with the sales guy in front on that huge wall with all the iPod goodies and asked, "What else do I need for my iPod?" and he gave me a soulful look and replied, in all seriousness, "Oh, Apple is not about needing. It is about wanting."

els01d@bangor.ac.uk
re: 'Studies in European Cinema'
We are pleased to announce the launch of the new refereed
international journal 'Studies in European Cinema' (Intellect) in 2004.
This journal is dedicated to the best work currently being produced on
European Film, European film culture, the changing nature and film output
of Europe itself. It is distinctive in bringing together discussions on a
range of European cinemas, and by the timing and positioning of the
discussions within both a cultural and an historical context.
Areas of interest include:
* All aspects of European film and European film culture;
* The history, genre, films, film directors (or actors, cinematographers,
film crew/s . . .) of Europe;
* The identities, languages, styles, forms and audiences of European
cinema;
*European cinema in the context of other cinemas (eg: Hollywood, 'World'
cinema . . .)
The aim of this journal is to provide a forum for all those interested in
European cinema and the film cultures of Europe and to bring together
experts from a variety of fields in order to facilitate interdisciplinary
exchange. Unique in its willingness to engage with all the cinemas of
Europe, the journal provides an international platform for discussion.
We would welcome article submissions on any aspects of European
cinema and European film culture for consideration for the first and/or
subsequent volumes. Articles should be no longer than 5,000 words in length
(excluding notes) and include an abstract of 150-200 words.
A full style sheet is available from the editors, and we would ask
contributors to contact us for these guidelines before submitting

Twiga Bancorp Limited inaugurated a new Twiga Bancorp branch on 28 December 2012 in Dodoma, the political capital of Tanzania.
The Dar es Salaam-headquartered bank is fully complying with its expansion plans. The plan started in 2011 to open at least one regional branch every year by exploring the large and ready-made markets among small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
Formerly known as National Bureau de Change Ltd, the financial institution was established in 1992. In January 2005, it changed its name to Twiga Bancorp Limited.
The bank is currently fully owned by the government. The inauguration ceremony was attended by Minister of Finance, Mr William Mgimwa.
Along with the traditional banking products like credit facilities, receiving customer deposits and money transfer transactions, the new Twiga Bancorp Dodoma branch will also support and facilitate operations of Village Community Banking (VICOBA) to widen access to financial services.
Started with the aim of empowering communities with proper skills and adequate capital, VICOBA is a banking system utilized, monitored and managed by a small community such as a village.
A VICOBA group is formed by individuals not less than 30 staying in a particular locality. The membership is free and organized by the members themselves.
Twiga Bancorp assists formation of VICOBA groups under Umoja Youth Aids Control and Community Development (UYACODE) NGO.

Hrithik Roshan's Family 'Physically Assaulting' Sunaina: Kangana Ranaut's Sister Rangoli's Explosive Tweets
Rangoli Chandel's tweets come after Sunaina Roshan tweeted: "Living in hell continues... Gosh I'm tired," followed by, "I support Kangana."
Entertainment | Written by Divya Goyal | Updated: June 19, 2019 11:46 IST

Rangoli claimed Sunaina apologised to Kangana for not standing by her
"Sunaina is still a friend," said Kangana
Kangana, Hrithik have been feuding over a disputed romantic relationship
After Hrithik Roshan's sister Sunaina's Twitter outburst about supporting Kangana Ranaut and 'living in hell,' the actress' sister Rangoli Chandel has made a series of explosive claims about the Roshans allegedly physically assaulting Sunaina. In tweets posted today, Rangoli claims that Sunaina calls Kangana asking for help over alleged persecution from her family who disapprove of her being romantically involved with a Muslim man; Sunaina Roshan was allegedly hit by father Rakesh Roshan and her brother Hrithik is allegedly trying to 'put her behind bars,' Rangoli claims. She also revealed that Kangana has blocked Sunaina's number.
Rangoli Chandel writes in her tweets: "Sunaina Roshan is asking Kangana for help, her family is physically assaulting her because she is in love with a Muslim man from Delhi. Last week, they got a lady cop who slapped her... her father also hit her.... her brother is trying to put her behind bars... I fear her dangerous family might harm her, we want to make this public because Sunaina calling Kangana and crying all the time, Kangana doesn't know how to help her." She wrote in a separate tweet that Kangana has blocked Sunaina Roshan for now.
Read Rangoli Chandel's tweets:
Sunaina Roshan is asking Kangana for help, her family is physically assaulting her because she is in love with a Muslim man from Delhi, last week they got a lady cop who slapped her, her father also hit her, her brother is trying to put her behind bars..(contd)
— Rangoli Chandel (@Rangoli_A) June 19, 2019
(Contd).... I fear her dangerous family might harm her, we want to make this public because Sunaina calling Kangana and crying all the time, Kangana doesn't know how to help her...(contd)
(Contd).... so now she has blocked her number but we fear for her safety, everyone has a right to love whoever they want, hopefully this will scare Roshans and they back off
In earlier tweets, Sunaina Roshan wrote that she supports Kangana - for those who don't know, Kangana and Hrithik have been locked in ugly public battle over a disputed romance.
I support Kangana all through
— Sunaina Roshan (@sunainaRoshan22) June 18, 2019
And living in hell continues ....gosh I'm tired
Sunaina's tweets come days after Kangana Ranaut told Mumbai Mirror: "Sunaina and I were always good friends and so was her family. Now they (the Roshans) claim differently. Yes, she has been in touch with me, but I don't want to take advantage of her family dispute. Sunaina is still a friend but I will not hit somebody when they are down."
Earlier this month, after Sunaina opened up about her turbulent family dynamics in an interview with Pinkvilla, Rangoli wrote in a series of tweets that Sunaina called up to apologise to Kangana for not standing by her during her infamous feud with Hrithik Roshan which started in 2017.
Reports of Sunaina Roshan's deteriorating health spread like wildfire across social media after which, she told Pinkvilla: "I have not been hospitalised getting any kind of treatment forget psychological. I was out partying with my friends on Sunday night at the Golf Club in Chembur." At that time, it was reported that Sunaina Roshan is being treated for bipolar disorder, which she vehemently denied saying: "Being angry and short-tempered does not make you bipolar and nor have I ever suffered or been treated for a bipolar disorder... I am physically and mentally completely fine."
In the same interview, Sunaina Roshan also said that she was staying in a rented hotel apartment away from her family and added: "Yes, there are certain issues... All I can say is that I have been staying in a rented hotel apartment for the past 17-18 days before I came back home to stay in the same building as my parents. While I am staying in their home, I have a separate entrance and a separate floor on which I live."
Soon after Sunaina Roshan's interview went viral, Rangoli Chandel alleged in her tweets that Hrithik's PR machinery started the bipolar rumour, as punishment for Sunaina's alleged calls to Kangana.
Don't act too smart @chakrabarti_r everyone isn't nice to their siblings, Hrithik Roshan's sister Sunaina Roshan has been calling and messaging Kangana and me only to apologise that she didn't stand up for her when Hrithik framed her as they were friends.... (contd) https://t.co/Ty2HwG7XLj
(Contd)..when Kangana &Hrithik were close, when Hrithik found out he & his PR tried to prove her a bipolar on a nervous breakdown, poor lady was so hassled with all the public shaming and blaming...(contd)
On the work front, Hrithik Roshan is looking forward to the release of Super 30 while Kangana will be next seen in Mental Hai Kya.

Something Special Mr Tumble's Alphabet Review
By Jocelyn / Reviews / 2 Comments
My Little Man loves Mr Tumble. Oh yes, he is totally mesmerised by him, along with many other toddlers, I suspect. So I was pleased to receive this new educational toy for him to try, in our role as KD UK ambassadors…
Something Special Mr Tumble's Alphabet
This interactive Phonics has eight great games to learn all about letters, alphabet and word recognition while having fun with Mr Tumble.
There are also 26 chunky backlit keys with colourful Something Special illustrations and sounds, which offer a great way to discover new words, sounds and spelling.
Children will love hearing Justin ask them questions and guiding them through the games.
Age Recommendation: 3 Years +
This one arrived while Little Man was napping, so I whipped it out of the box for him, with the help of Boo, ready for him to explore when he woke. Boo was exclaiming 'oh, he's going to love this!' as she was unpacking it, which she did easily herself, as there are no frustrating cable ties or similar in this box. And again, as I'm finding with KD products, the batteries are included, which always earns them brownie points with me.
It's a nice size game (you can get a feel for it in the photos below with Little Man), the kids like the carry handle and it's light to walk around with. I can see that the bright yellow covered in vibrant colours and flashing buttons would appeal to little ones, too. It feels sturdy and up to the task of withstanding lots of bashing about, as seems inevitable with Little Man's toys!
With the different games, this caters well to different development stages and ages. Boo moved straight to the higher settings so was working on spelling words out (with Grandad Tumble in the picture there!), which is perfect for her right now as she's learning to read and write. But, without doubt, this is Little Man's toy…
Little Man is coming up to 28 months, so not quite at the recommended age for this. No-one seems to have told him that, though, as he really likes playing with this one! He plays with it on the first three settings. The first is where the buttons make a noise corresponding to the object pictured. The second tells you the letters you're pressing. The third asks you to look for certain items and press their button. He also loves playing the music and watching the lights dance around.
When he's a little older, there's a 'follow me' setting, find the first letter, phonics and then the spelling that Boo's trying. So yes, plenty to do with this one! And it does feel like the kind of toy that will stand the test of time, so I look forward to seeing my son move on and discover each stage with this.
Would this one be a hit in your house?
Disclosure: We received this toy FOC for the purposes of this review.

Oh I love this, it looks like so much fun with the bright colours and big buttons! x

Bison Bison Bison
by turnerenterprises | May 13, 2016 | News, Ted's Montana Grill | 0 comments
By Elif Bautman
On Monday, President Obama signed legislation honoring the American bison, also known as the buffalo, as this country's first national mammal. In temperament, physique, and symbolism, it is difficult to imagine a creature more starkly different from the bald eagle, which has been our national animal since 1782. (The new law does not affect the eagle's status.) A raptor known for its razorlike talons and visual acuity, the eagle has served as the imperial standard of the Roman legions, the Byzantine Empire, the Spanish Army, and many other forces. Not so the bison, North America's largest land mammal, which weighs in at as much as a ton. The species includes two variants: the wood bison (Bison bison athabascae) and the plains bison (Bison bison bison). The bison typically spends its early mornings munching on young, tender grasses, which it swallows almost without chewing and regurgitates in its leisure hours. A creature much prone to wallowing, it is known for its poor eyesight. You can tell a bison's mood from its tail. Its mood is generally, but not always, placid. At moments of high emotion, it can run thirty-five miles per hour, as fast as a galloping horse. By identifying America with the bison, in addition to the eagle, the legislation may be viewed as having expanded and complicated our national self-image, to encompass not just the perspective of the powerful makers of history but also those who are its hapless bystanders.
At the beginning of the nineteenth century, tens of millions of bison roamed North America. Witnesses likened them variously to weather formations, natural disasters, and the wordless architects of some mighty civilization. "The whole country appeared one great mass of buffalo," Colonel Richard Irving Dodge recalled in 1871, adding that the animal moved in herds "as irresistible as an avalanche." The writer and jurist (and, later, congressman) Henry Marie Brackenridge, observing thousands of bison running full-speed near the Missouri River in 1811, noted that "their appearance had something in it, which, without incurring ridicule, I might call sublime," and likened their hoof beats to the rumbling of distant thunder. The cartographer John Filson, who visited the Blue Licks of Kentucky in 1784, wrote that the bison there evoked "amazement and terror" from all visitors, thanks to "the prodigious roads they have made from all quarters, as if leading to some populous city."

Insulate Britain activist starts hunger strike in jail
'Our demand will save lives – I must take the fight wherever I go,' says scientist
An ecologist says she has started a hunger strike after being jailed for her part in climate protests.
Emma Smart, 44, was among nine Insulate Britain activists sent to prison on Wednesday for breaching a government injunction that banned them from blocking roads.
The campaigners from the group, which is calling for a national home insulation strategy, were jailed for contempt of court.
Ms Smart's husband said he was terrified but that he stood by her decision to go without food in prison.
Since the summer, Insulate Britain has shut down busy roads, including motorways, by sending activists to stand or sit in front of traffic and glueing themselves to roads.

Ms Smart was handed a four-month sentence alongside Ben Buse, 36, Roman Paluch-Machnik, 28, Oliver Rock, 41, Tim Speers, 36, and James Thomas, 47, for taking part in a blockade on the M25 on October 8, while Ana Heyatawin, 58, and Louis McKechnie, 20, were jailed for three months.
She said she began her hunger strike from the time she was sentenced, around 11am on Wednesday.
"As a scientist and conservationist, I have spent my entire adult life working to protect those that don't have a voice or are unable to stand up for themselves. This prison sentence will take me away from valuable work," 彼女は言いました.
"I am proud of my actions with Insulate Britain.
"The government knows that our simple no-brainer demand to cut carbon 排出量 by insulating Britain's homes will save lives, eliminate fuel poverty and create thousands of valuable jobs."
彼女の夫, Andy Smith, 45, 前記: "Obviously I'm terrified. It's a horrible thing for her to go through but I stand by her decision to do that.
"She's an incredibly passionate person dedicated to trying to protect the environment. That's deeply ingrained in who she is.
"That freedom to go out on to the street and protest has been taken away from her, so her going on a hunger strike in prison is another way to continue that fight for justice."
Ms Smart added: "I used to believe that my place in fighting this battle – and it is a battle – was in a university, in a research lab and in the field. I now know that I must take that fight wherever I go.
"So I am extending my protest into prison by exercising the only freedom that l have left: to control whether I eat."
Climate activists are planning a "day of civil resistance" in London on Saturday "to express solidarity" with the 34 people from Insulate Britain who face jail for up to two years for contempt of court for breaking motorway injunctions.

15. The good news of the glory of Christ.
"If our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." (2 Cor. 4:3, 4.) Reader, ponder these words — "the gospel of the glory of Christ," for it should not be read the glorious gospel of Christ." Glorious, indeed, is the good news of Christ, but the Spirit of God, in the text before us, addresses our minds rather to the subject than the quality of the good news.
There is divine good news for man in the fact that the once-crucified Christ is a man in glory.
The light of His glory on earth.
When our Lord was upon earth He "was the light of the world." Every act and deed of His, grace or truth, gentleness or reproof, was the shining out of the Divine character. He was both "the image of God" and "the light of the world." Suppose we take a torch into a cavern; its light reveals the character and contents of the cave, makes manifest that which, before the entrance of the torch, was hidden in darkness. Such was the Lord's shining way through this world; it detected everything. But man "loved darkness rather than light," and understood not His perfections. "The light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not." (John 1:5.) "The world 'at large' knew Him not;" the circle of His ancient people "received Him not." (v. 10, 11.) The darkness did not mingle with the light; the light did not modify the darkness. By Jesus the Light, the image of the invisible God, is the character of God expressed to man. By knowing the Son we know the Father. "No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared Him." (John 1:18.) Man learns God in the person of His Son. Therefore, to reject the Son, is to reject the Father who sent Him. Receiving the Son, God gives us the privilege of becoming His children. (John 1:12, 13.) From the Person of Christ the glory of God shines out. We understand the cross, we know pardon and peace, we perceive the character of the throne of God in its holiness and justice, and we know, too, that God is love.
The effulgence and rays of His character reached man through the Son. Even as the light emanates from and surrounds the sun, so Christ is the brightness of God's glory (Heb. 1:3), and as we see not the sun itself, but its effulgence, we see not God save through Him who expresses to us who and what God is.
A glorified Christ in heaven.
At length the darkness sought to put out the light and drive it from the world. And with what result? The Light is no longer beaming from this earth; Jesus is in heaven; He is in the glory of God as a Man. There, the Man, Christ Jesus, bears upon His Person the marks of man's rejection, while the fact of His presence there attests God's estimate of His work upon earth. The light of His words and works led man, in his darkness, to crucify Him; the light of His Person, now on high, expresses to man the brightness of God's glory and His grace to the chief of sinners.
The Lord revealed Himself to Saul as Jesus of Nazareth, glorified at God's right hand in heaven, and with Him, as He is, every man must have to do. The christian knows not Christ after the flesh, but in resurrection-glory. Christ is not the Man of sufferings upon earth; He is not the dying One upon the cross; He is not the slain One in the sepulchre where, eighteen hundred years ago, the shining angels said to the women, "He is not here, He is risen." No, He is the Risen Man, the Ascended Man, the One whom the chosen few beheld ascend from Olivet. And whither went He? To heaven! But to what part of heaven? The Son of God, the brightness of God's glory, the express image of His Person, "when He had, by Himself, purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high." It was from that glory He announced Himself to Saul, "I am Jesus of Nazareth," the self-same Jesus, who had walked in humiliation and in rejection upon this earth. And this is a message distinct from everything previously given by God to man.
The gospel of His glory.
Prophets had predicted His coming, and the yet future day of His glory upon earth, when, under His sceptre, righteousness should be established and peace should reign. The angelic hosts had praised God, and proclaimed peace on earth and good pleasure concerning man when He was born the Babe in Bethlehem. He Himself, when here, had preached eternal life to all that believe on Him; and His apostles, after His resurrection, had published forgiveness of sins through faith in His Name. But the special good news of the Man rejected and despised on earth, linking His own with Himself in heaven, was reserved to be made known to man, until His own lips announced that gospel from the glory above.
Satan's effort to hide Christ from man.
But the strongholds of Satan become weakness in the presence of Jesus, once crucified, now glorified. Where He has gone Satan's power cannot follow, and when a man believes Christ, and apprehends where He is, he triumphs in the victory of his Lord. Thenceforth to him infidelity and superstition are the creatures of that darkness which the god of this world rules, and by which he sways the minds of those who do not believe. The christian's faith is beyond the darkness, fixed on Him who is in glory, and from whom glory shines.
The glory of Christ, good news.
By the gospel we have not only the tidings of forgiveness of sins, peace with God, and new life in Christ, but we have also the message of glory for ourselves. The ministry of the law, engraven in stones, which Moses brought with him from the mount, was accompanied with surroundings of glory. The face of Moses shone as he came down from Sinai with the tables of the law in his hands and the reflection of God's glory upon his countenance. Then Moses put a veil upon his face, to hide the glory from a trembling people under the law; for Israel could not read the meaning of the reflections of glory upon Moses' face, because the tables of the law were in his hands. It is impossible to receive grace from a law-giver, and until grace be known by man, the glory of God is terrible to him. It is only as believers in Christ crucified that we can know Christ glorified. The holiest is opened to faith's vision through the rent veil of His flesh. His grace in dying for us has made His glory our joy.
There is no veil before the face of the ascended Jesus. It is all love, grace, glory. Not a cloud upon His face, not a shadow of doubt should remain in the hearts of His own. We know that He would not be the glorified Man on high had He not been the crucified Man below. We see Him, but not holding the tables of the law in His hands, and bidding us "do this and live;" we see Him with hands once pierced for our sins, and the glory of God shining from His face, telling us that all is done, that our sins are gone, and that God is magnified. We know that He who was forsaken for us is the new measure of our acceptance — "We are accepted in the Beloved." Thus is the glory of Christ good news to His people.
The glory of Christ gives His people the christian hope.
How this end will be effected.
When will this be elected?
The day, the hour, we know not. But when the Lord comes, His own will rise, and those of His who are living will be changed. "We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." (1 Cor. 15:51, 52.) And this is the highest christian hope. The hope of the redemption of our bodies on that day of glory (Rom. 8:21); the hope of being conformed to Christ's image and likeness, of being in body, soul, and spirit pure like Himself.
Moreover, the occupation of the heart with Christ where He is, produces holiness within the christian. "We all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord." (2 Cor. 3:18.) We see an unveiled face of the glorified Christ in the presence of God. Faith sees it, and present holiness follows, for we are changed. The change is progressive, it is "from glory to glory;" there is no standing still — "not as though I had already attained, or either were already perfect." The light of a glorified Christ poured into the soul by God the Spirit produces holiness, even as the fruit is surely, though imperceptibly, ripened by the sun's rays. As it grows, it is changed to sweetness by the light. There is no effort in this work, but a great result. "Beholding . . . . we are changed." We hinder holiness by looking to the earth, to self, to one another. There is but little holiness where Christ is not all.
Acquaintance with Christ in the glory is the great energizing principle of the christian faith. Christ in glory beamed like the light of a beacon before His servant, Paul. It guided and drew him on in his troublous course on earth. It led him with unwearied force to "press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." (Phil. 3:14.) He saw before him the brightness of a glorified Jesus, and he longed to be like Him on high. The prize of resurrection-blessings glistened before his soul. He panted for the day when he should be exactly like Christ, and in the power of that prospect he counted what he once so dearly prized, as dung, and was ready, even should it be by the means of martyrdom, to be with Christ, whose image he would shortly bear. Reader! the force of his example appeals to us, while his tears, as he tells of those "who mind earthly things," warn us; for we are either running in the race as was Paul, or we are turning to the world — there is no neutral ground.

Moving is never fun. But we're through. Forever! We are finally settled in our new home in San Antonio.We're loving it. We're close to my wife's relatives and my old friends. But, never again will we move anywhere.
If you've had trouble reaching me in the last couple of weeks, I apologize. Getting our phone numbers transferred to a new provider of phone service has been a nightmare. We are pretty sure it is finally resolved. E-mail has worked all the time but the phone has been "hung up" in the transfer process for a few days.
Happy Leap Year. I'm enjoying getting back in touch with you with some more valuable information for healing or preventing cancer. This month I'm concentrating on reading material for you.
I have just finished one of the best books on dealing with cancer I've ever read. If you want a complete and COMMON SENSE description of the current state of cancer treatment, this is the book for you.
Kathleen Austin, a wonderfully talented Australian lady, has compiled for you a book that says it all. Nobody can appreciate any more than me the grinding process she went through in researching and writing this book. Impassioned by the large number of friends who had died from cancer,she set out to document the best healing approaches. She has done it.
"1. Does this treatment work? Specifically, will it guarantee a cancer free life until I'm 80 years old?
2. How much extra quality time will I gain from this treatment?
3. Will this treatment cure the cancer or just slow the growth?
4. Can you guarantee that this treatment will not damage other healthy cells? Hair loss, vein damage, balance, nausea, hearing and brain function loss indicate cell damage.
5. Could this treatment permanently damage vital organs? If so, how would that affect my life?
6. What percentage of patients taking this treatment have a return of cancer due to the treatment?
7. Do you object to me using antioxidants during this treatment? (Research shows that high potency antioxidants improve the outcome of chemotherapy.) If yes, ask to see the research to support the objection.
8. Do you assume that something unproven, by modern medical standards, must be ineffective?
10. What alternative treatments have you researched? Have you used any? Why? What were the results?
11. Do you have an effective treatment that will 'Do no harm,' as in the Hippocratic oath?
12. What is the best thing about your treatment?
13. What is the worst thing about your treatment?
14. Would you supervise my progress while I pursue alternative methods before I consider conventional? (If the answer is no, ask why not?) If there is still no cooperation and you want to do this, find another doctor.
15. Is this the only treatment that will be needed or will I have to have more? Is that guaranteed? What percentage?
17. If I had to have chemotherapy after successful surgery, do you test to see if it has been effective? How?
18. If your daughter/son had the same cancer as me, would you use this type of treatment for them? Why?
Kathleen urges you to make copies of these questions and take them to your doctor or give them to your friends and relatives. Boy, do I agree! If you can find a doctor who can satisfactorily answer these questions, go ahead and use him/her. If not, keep looking. In the meantime, vow to heal yourself with the mountain of information available to you in this book and other sources (see below).
This great book is available at Kathleen's website, which is RealHopeForCancer.com.Get it today and enjoy this great read.
NOTE: I have no financial interest in Kathleen Austin's book. I just want to get you the information she has done such a great job of compiling. Let me know what you think of it after you've read it.
Here is another great source of free information. It is an organization of researchers and scientists called Advanced Scientific Health. I have read much of their information and found it very educational. You need to read it, too. Let me reemphasize — it is FREE! It covers virtually all chronic degenerative diseases including, of course, cancer.
All you need to do to get a 16-page "pdf" file to begin exploring this information is to go to their website and sign up. The website is AdvancedScientificHealth.net.
"The scientific health community has never had a voice or a vehicle to provide their information, facts and findings. They do now, and it is time that EVERYONE was made aware. No one need suffer with pain and disease.
I know what pain and disease really are and it is my hope and mission that EVERYONE has a chance to learn what I have learned. I started at Advanced Scientific Health and because of it, I and over 1200 families (many of whom are health care professionals) are now disease free. We have learned how to get away from the petro-chemicals (prescription drugs), the surgeries and the burning.
Please take a look at their website. You'll be very glad you did.
Julia Schopick is a very well-informed expert on natural healing. She has put together a unique book documenting four inexpensive treatments that have healed life-threatening diseases, including cancer.
Julia's book "Honest Medicine: Effective, Time-Tested, Inexpensive Treatments for Life Threatening Diseases," documents beyond any doubt the healing power of certain treatments — namely, Silverlon, Intravenous Alpha Lipoic Acid, The Ketogenic Diet and Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). By compiling accounts from those healed with these treatments, she has given you very convincing evidence to try them. But, even more uniquely, in the process, Julia has documented the resistance of the allopathic medical community of doctors to learning new information.
I have experienced this resistance myself. My urologist was not interested in any of the documents, including some written by other urologists, showing the chronic over-treatment of prostate cancer and BPH — a swollen prostate (which I have). Even when I had found something (Prostabel) which succeeded in shrinking my prostate gland and making all his treatment unnecessary, he was completely uninterested in hearing about it. In fact, he insulted me and implied that what I knew and what had worked for me was completely incorrect.
This kind of insulation of medical doctors from new and useful information from their patients is practically universal. Maybe you have tried to educate your doctor about what healed you. If not, don't bother. All you're going to get is frustration. While I hear about this all the time from my clients, Julia, in "Honest Medicine" documents it as I've never seen it done before.
That's just one reason to read this book. The main one is that these four treatments, including for each treatment several case studies in the first person, are very important for you to know about. The accounts are of healing epilepsy, autoimmune diseases (especially MS), liver disease, cancer and open wounds. Julia introduces you to several wonderful holistic physicians like Dr. Burton Berkson, Dr. David Gluck and Dr. Bernard Bihari. People tell you how they got healed and the antics they went through with their conventional doctors before and after they discovered these healing treatments.
Julia has extensive experience like this herself. She spent 15 years helping her husband, Tim, deal with his brain tumor and its recurrence before he passed. Her story is told in detail in this great book.
The book is available at Amazon.com and BarnesAndNoble.com. It is also available in e-book versions for the Kindle and the NOOK. Please read it, enjoy it and learn from it, as I did.
NOTE: Again, I have no financial interest in Julia's book. I just found it to be a very useful source of information.
Here is a link to an interesting video by Dr. Joseph Mercola, MD on root canal-filled teeth. Two of my readers sent this to me, recognizing how it reinforces what I've been saying for years.
If my experience is typical, about 90% of you have at least one root canal-filled tooth. Please listen to this video by Dr. Mercola. Apparently, he has been recommending to his patientsfor over 20 years the prompt removal of these toxic suckers from your mouth as an essential part of healing from anything — especially cancer. He and I agree completely. To see this video, just click here.
Also available with this 22-minute video are a transcript you can print out and share with your loved ones along with several links for more information.
Many of you are familiar with Dr. Brad Nelson's wonderful book "The Emotion Code." It is what I recommend every day to the cancer "coachees" to deal with their stress and emotional issues. While most people can use the book as a do-it-yourself at home resource, many people find they need a practitioner to help them. Recognizing this, Dr. Nelson has been busy for the last five years training Emotion Code practitioners to help you remotely.
You may know Phyllis Pipkin from my 4th Edition Cancer-Free book. She owns a company in Atlanta called Ancient Elements, Inc. Phyllis is a very well-qualified health counsellor. Her company is the source I recommend for the Transfer Point Beta Glucan for boosting your immune system. She also sells Jupiter water filters and lots of other healing merchandise at Ancient5.com.
Phyllis has just become certified by Dr. Nelson to help you with applying The Emotion Code to your particular problems. You can reach her to explore this further at (678) 653-8532 in Atlanta on Eastern Time or by e-mail at ppipkin@ancient5.com.

Dave Karlovich, the creator of the HCG Test Kit I recommend in Chapter 5 of my 4th Edition Cancer-Free book, has some new contact information. The website to buy the kit, whichmakes preparation of this test sample so easy, is the same. It is JoeBallCompany.com.However, if you need to contact Dave, he has moved from Florida to Pennsylvania this month. He suggested that if you have questions about this kit, it is "best that they contact me between 3:30 and 8:30 pm EST or on the weekends pretty much anytime. Otherwise, they can always e-mail questions and concerns to: dave@joeballcompany.com." Dave's phone number is: (904) 887-3181.


Dimas Ortiz has a $100,000 warrant in Sacramento County for felony drug sales, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff's officials said patrols on the Foresthill Divide will be increased. They noted that the area is sparsely populated but advised anyone living there to remain indoors with doors locked.
At Foresthill High School, Principal Randy Ittner said he began working with Foresthill Divide Middle School representatives and the Sheriff's Office at 8 p.m. Wednesday. The Sheriff's Office had four deputies at the high school and three at the middle school Thursday morning.
Ittner said school officials and deputies delayed the start of classes to 10 a.m. Thursday as a safety measure that would allow later school bus rounds. The school also sent a automated call to parents Wednesday night to inform them of the manhunt.
Teachers met early Thursday to discuss security issues before school, Ittner said, and half a dozen deputies remained outside the high school at 10:30 a.m.
"The nice thing is we have a safe school plan," the principal said. That includes fire drills, earthquake drills and supplies available in classrooms if they are locked.
On Main Street in Foresthill, just up the road from the high school, is Stone's Brew Coffee Shop, a general store, fire department and Foresthill Barber Shop.
Pat Cady, proprietor of the only barber shop in town, said locals seem to be taking the fugitive hunt in stride. The biggest excitement, he said, came Wednesday when more than a dozen law enforcement vehicles "were boogieing through" with lights and sirens.
"Whenever somebody escapes, they try to make it to Foresthill because they feel like they can hide in the trees. But it never really works out.
Deputies ask anyone who sees the men to call 911. Anyone with information that would assist in the search can call the Sheriff's Office at 530-886-5375.

We offer Recycling of Clocks & Watches.
Since the beginning of the digital age everyone looks to their watch or clocks to know exactly what time of the day it is. Clocks and watches have helped us keep track of time. Today there are numerous watches that have capabilities to do much more than just tell time. They can track steps, make a phone call, and tell you your heart rate. Even modern clocks have smart functionalities that can tell you about the climate, weather, and more.
Why Should you Recycle your Clocks and Watches?
Clocks and watches should be recycled to keep hazardous wastes out of landfills. Even with their small sizes, watches can be hazardous to landfills as they may contain batteries with mercuric oxide materials which are toxic to the environment due to the effects of mercury. Many of the batteries today use zinc or lithium but these still pose a threat to the environment if left in landfills. They may be incinerated, causing these materials to end up in our soil, water supply, and in the air.
If you have clocks or watches that need to be recycled there are several ways to keep them out of our landfills. If your watch or clock is of great worth you may look into selling to recover the cost. You may take them into jewelers or post them on resale listings such as eBay. If your watches and clocks carry little to no value you may want to donate them to charity or gift them to people that could use them. If you are still having a hard time deciding what to do with them please be responsible and take them to an ethical electronics recycling facility like California Electronics Recycler in Santa Ana, California.
If you have clocks or watches that need to be recycled bring them down to our drop off location or call California Electronics Recycler at (800) 282-3927 today. You may be eligible for a free business pickup.
