With Spring temps in the air – Country music fans filed into the parking lot at Kegs Canal Side waiting for the doors to open. Some fans had been waiting as long as 2 hours to see Small Town Shade, Drew Baldridge and Dylan Scott. But, in true fashion they killed time by playing their favorite country music and tipping back a few cold beers. Some were even seen making sandwiches – it was Country style at its finest right here in CNY. Let's not forget the American Flag waving from a group of fans huddled up near the back of a pick-up truck along with USA chants.
Back II Back Entertainment and their team know how to please their fans because those who walk through the doors at Kegs Canal Side never leave disappointed. Kegs is one of the well-known venues in the area for serving mainly Country concerts and they aim to please. The night kicked off with Small Town Shade with the trio getting the crowd warmed up which is no surprise – these guys knew just what to play to get the fans involved. Singing along and screaming out names of songs they wanted to hear. Of course the band didn't disappoint, Nick their lead singer is all about playing to the crowd. Small Town Shade covers "mash up's" of Country covers and some originals. What else could any music fan hope for? A solid 4 hours of nonstop music. With a standing room only; fans got as close as they could get to the stage waiting for the main attraction to take center stage.
Drew Baldridge has so much energy on stage – if you blinked he was in a different spot. Baldridge was a sure crowd pleaser with fans even saying he looked real similar to Luke Bryan. The ladies in the crowd fell in love with his dance moves and how he just reached out to you to get you involved. In addition to his own songs, he did a wide range of covers from Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" to Trace Adkin's "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" which he transitioned into Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back." Baldridge is quite the showman. And, let's not forget how Drew can shake his hips during his entire set like he was out to win a dance contest. Drew stayed around after his set was over to meet fans and sign some autographs.
Dylan Scott made his way to the stage to a crowd who was already fired up from the performance "Drew" just gave them. Dylan was more laid back and took his time to tell a few stories and reach into the hearts of the fans with some tunes that were more subtle. Recently married he told his fans how he and his wife got together while in school. She was 16 he was 15, so he got to sit in the passenger seat while they drove around. But as time went on Dylan became interested in music and eventually moved to Nashville and left his girlfriend in Louisiana this went on for about 6 yrs. He says long distance relationships work if you want it to. As the night went on, Scott had the crowd in the palm of his hand as he displayed his passion and love for music. Dylan even did a solo of "When You Say Nothing At All," the original by Keith Whitley which gave his band a moment to take a brief break. And, being a well-known song for many years fans didn't hesitate to sing along. When the band returned the energy was turned up and ready to go. Scott moved around the stage with ease to interact with the crowd. The popular song "I Can't Feel My Face," was an automatic crowd favorite. Scott's genuine personality shining through as he repeatedly thanked the crowd for supporting his music and allowing him to live out his dreams through his work as a touring singer/songwriter. He even told the crowd the last time he was at Keg's the crowd was much smaller, he didn't know what to expect this time. A true talent and Scott genuinely appreciated his fans coming out to spend their hard earned money to see him. If you missed this concert you sure did miss a good one!

Vale Ray Holden
Federation Life Member Ray Holden always regarded himself as a rank and file activist in Federation — and was proud of it. He died in the last week of October, aged in his early 90s.
Ray was born in 1927 and after leaving school at 15 to join the railways as a tradesman, he worked for 15 years with the Railways Department.
He was encouraged by an advertisement in The Sydney Morning Herald to retrain as a teacher in 1959. Ray did the one year Artisans Certificate at Sydney Teachers College and began teaching at East Hills Boys High in 1960.
Ray immediately became an active member of the Manual Arts Teachers Association when the union had sectional associations. He was instrumental in setting up the Industrial Arts Special Interest Group when Federation moved to geographically based associations. The SIG still meets to this day.
Ray was active in the Industrial Arts class-sizes campaign for reduced class sizes for practical lessons.
He was allocated to Canterbury-Bankstown Teachers Association when geographically based associations came into being. He was active at the Association level, was Fed Rep and President of East Hills Boys High and then transferred to Picnic Point High, where he became active in the Sutherland Association.
He was made Life Member of Sutherland Association and a delegate for that association at Annual Conference for 20 years.
Ray was awarded Life membership of Federation in 1980.

Brownie hut site and the land behind Guilford Avenue
An email was sent on behalf of local Residents to DDC Councillors Jim Back and Nigel Collor. Below are the original email and responses I have received:
Good Morning Jim and Nigel
Various Residents are concerned about what is going on with the plot of land behind Guilford Avenue.
DDC have sporadically contacted the Parish Council about this, but have never actually given any real detail or proposals, a letter was sent round to Residents a few months ago, and work appears to be progressing, but no one knows what is happening, or what the future is for the Brownie Pack and their meeting hut, who would appear to be in danger of being displaced / evicted as some point in the not to distant future.
There are a number of questions that require answering as work seems to be progressing and there has been no formal consultation held and a specific lack of information being made publicly available:
a) Has the land been sold to the care home, and was it put out to general tender for anyone to bid on?
b) Has planning permission (formal or informal) been granted to develop and extend the care home on this site?
c) What is the future of the Brownie Hut? (Remembering that DDC gave assurances when the site was put in the Land Allocations Document in 2006 and during the SPD / Masterplanning process)
d) What provision is being made for parking in the local area, as the cul-de-sac is very restricted for residential parking?
e) Is rear access to the properties going to be guaranteed?
f) Is the Parish Council going to be approached again regarding possible relocation of the Brownie Hut? (Over the course of the past 5 or so years a couple of informal approaches have been made and on each occasion the Parish Council have always said that we need to have specific proposals before we can consider any options or agree to anything).
I would appreciate it if you could find out what is going on as the current situation and uncertainty is very unsatisfactory.
Reply received via Jim Back from: Peter Wallace <Peter.Wallace@DOVER.GOV.UK>
Dear Cllr Back,
Thank you for your email. I've had a look at these questions from a planning perspective. There's no recent planning history (for applications or pre-application enquiries) being picked up by our system for either the land comprising the Brownie Hut or the care home. Colleagues in planning policy advise me that while the land Brownie Hut site was included in the recent draft local plan (Reg 18 version) as a housing allocation, it's now proposed to remove this allocation in the next draft version of the plan (Reg19), as it's understood the site is no longer available for housing.
I believe this site is owned by DDC and in the absence of any further planning matters I've asked if Martin (copied in here) could help you with some of the other queries.
Peter Peter Wallace – DDC Planning and Development Manager
Reply received direct from: Robert Reid-Easton – DDC Property Services
Dear Mr Goodsell
As Martin is on leave, he has asked me to forward his reply to you:
Good evening Jeff,
Further to Peter Wallace's reply I am sending this to add the answers from a Dover District Council property perspective. Let me first give some reassurance and clarity. The land , which Dover District Council owns has been divided in to two plots, one of which is occupied by the Brownies and one which is not. It is only the plot that does not involve the Brownie hut, which has been sold and has now been fenced off. Whilst the owner of the care home is interested in acquiring both plots Councillors made it clear that they would not consider a sale unless an alternative location for the Brownie hut had been secured.
The land was not put out to tender because DDC were approached by the owner of the adjacent care home, who wished to purchase the land to allow the future expansion of the care home, thus ensuring its long term viability. The Council assured itself that 'best value' was achieved when making the decision to sell the plot.
See Peter Wallace's response.
The future of the Brownies is secure because Councillors indicated, when they considered the matter at cabinet, they would not consider selling the land if this were not to be the case. The hut of course is an ageing building and not very environmentally sound, which means that it could need substantial repairs and upgrades in the not too distant future, both of which are the sole responsibility of the Guiding Association.. There may be an opportunity to relocate the Brownies to a new location, using some of the proceeds of the sale to facilitate the relocation. The advantage to the Guide Association would be a new facility, which would not need significant maintenance funding in the medium term. The disadvantage for them would be that it is very likely the alternative location will not offer the exclusivity currently enjoyed.
There are no measures planned to provide additional parking as part of the land transfer. It is recognised that parking will be more inconvenient for the immediate neighbours but in the wider vicinity there is spare parking capacity.
The land, which has been sold does not form part of any formal rear access to neighbouring properties and hence the question does not arise.
Dover District Council would look to approach the Whitfield Parish Council again should the Guide Association indicate a willingness to consider a relocation. The basis of that approach would be in two stages . The first stage would be to explore in principle whether the Whitfield Parish Council would be willing to host the Guides on one of its assets, for instance in an extension to the pavilion on the recreation ground. The second stage would be to consider possible design options. It is costly to develop specific design proposals and neither Dover District Council nor the Guiding Association would be willing to work up specific proposals without a prior indication from Whitfield Parish Council that they supported the idea in principle. Whitfield Parish Council of course would be a key stakeholder should there be a shared willingness to relocate the Brownies. This will not be something that "will be done to the Whitfield Parish Council" but a project in which WPC are a valued partner. I cannot be certain about timing or indeed whether the proposals will come forward again because the Guiding Association are not at this point in time expressing an interest to relocate and again they would need a willing stakeholder.


10/21 MITH Digital Dialogue: Kathleen Fitzpatrick, Planned Obsolescence: Publishing, Technology, and the Future of the Academy.
Planned Obsolescence: Publishing, Technology, and the Future of the Academy."
Much attention has been paid in recent years to the digital future of scholarship, and in particularly to the technological and infrastructural development necessary to new publishing structures. This talk will argue, however, that there is a set of social, intellectual, and institutional changes that will be a precondition for any such technological development to succeed, requiring scholars to think differently about the ways we write, the ways we publish, and the ways we review, in order to make any digital publishing future a reality.
Kathleen Fitzpatrick is Associate Professor of English and Media Studies and chair of the Media Studies program at Pomona College in Claremont, California. She is the author of "The Anxiety of Obsolescence: The American Novel in the Age of Television" (Vanderbilt UP, 2006), which was selected as an "Outstanding Academic Title" for 2007 by CHOICE. She serves on the editorial board of the Pearson Custom Introduction to Literature database anthology, as well as of the Journal of e-Media Studies and the Journal of Transformative Works, and is a member of the executive committee of the MLA Discussion Group on Media and Literature. She is currently working on a book-length project, to be published by New York University Press, entitled "Planned Obsolescence: Publishing, Technology, and the Future of the Academy."

"Kratom" was once a rather unknown word, even though it's been around for a long time, and has even been used medicinally for way more than a century. However, not everyone understands exactly what it is, how it works and the ways in which it might best benefit them individually.
If you work in the health and wellness field, chances are that you're much more familiar with Kratom, or even the plant from which it is derived, Mitragyna Speciosa. Personal trainers are talking about Kratom with their clients, while those who operate in the realm of holistic and alternative medicines are exploring its many properties and discovering its numerous uses. In short, you may just hear about Kratom almost anywhere.
One thing that you've probably noticed is that Kratom is quite commonly linked with caffeine, as that they do possess some of the same qualities. In fact, there is a list of similarities between the two, so it's great to know that you have options.
Bur first, let's get up-to-date with both Kratom and caffeine, to make it easier to spot their similarities when they appear.
Okay, so here are a few fast facts that will assist in making sure that you have at least a basic understanding of Kratom.
While you may just assume that Kratom is an herbal supplement, it is actually what is known as a raw botanical.
It is derived from the Mitragyna Speciosa plant, which is found in the rainforests of Southeastern Asia, specifically in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Brunei.
The plants are large, and they can grow as tall as 25 meters, boasting big, broad leaves.
The leaves of Mitragyna Speciosa contain very high levels of alkaloids.
These alkaloids can produce numerous effects, depending on the type of Kratom.
When purchased, Kratom's properties differ by the strain, and then further by the vein, of the plant.
Now that you know a little more about both Kratom and caffeine, it's time to explore the ways how are similar, making it easier to decide how best to achieve your desired results.
As noted above, both Kratom and caffeine are plant-based, and are derived from the leaves in the case of Kratom, and most commonly from the beans, nuts and leaves when it comes to caffeine. However, what really draws a big similarity between the two is that they both originate from the Rubiaceae family of plants and trees. So, Kratom and caffeine are very alike, even when their respective plants are only seedlings.
How are the benefits produced?
Alkaloids are the active properties that produce the benefits that the user might be after. There are numerous alkaloids that offer a myriad of results. These different alkaloids can be identified in products, so that consumers can best choose which will be most beneficial, depending on their individual needs.
Why are they generally utilized?
When you purchase Kratom, it comes in multiple forms, such as crushed leaves that can be used in coffee and tea, or powders that can pep up a smoothie or be turned into a convenient capsule form, with anecdotal reports showing that some people take it to maintain a healthier weight. Of course, it's not too difficult to think about your preferred ingestion methods of caffeine, which can range from a latte to a bubbling soft drink. However, caffeine often appears as an active ingredient in weight-loss pills and other supplements.
Now that you see the numerous ways that Kratom and caffeine are similar, it's simple to understand why they are commonly linked. Kratom is also no more addictive than a steaming cup of coffee. Just remember that caffeine is almost always used as a stimulant, but Kratom has a long list of other potential benefits to uncover.

We studied to prepare gold nanoparticle substrate for SERS (Surface-Enhance Raman Scattering). Gold nanoparticles were produced by laser ablation of gold plate in ethanol. The average size of gold nanoparticles is 13nm. The gold nanoparticle colloid was allowed to dry on a silicon wafer to prepare SERS substrate. Using the gold nanoparticle substrates we could obtain SERS spectrum of Rhodamine 6G molecules adsorbed on gold nanoparticles. The Raman signal was enhanced strongly by our SERS substrate. This result demonstrates that the metal nanoparticles synthesized by laser ablation in clean liquid can be used to prepare SERS substrate for molecular detection in our laboratory.

Q: Key & value column name overrides when mapping java.util.Map with JPA annotations I am looking at the different ways of annotating maps using Hibernate 4.1.9 & JPA annotations.
If I want to store a Map where the key is an attribute of the entity value the mark up looks like this
    @OneToMany(mappedBy = "deptById", targetEntity = com.demo.impls.Employee.class)
    @MapKey(name = "entityId")
    private Map<Long, Employee> employeesById;

Note the above mark up does not create a join table but the Map is returned via a query at run-time, so the Map is dynamic and you do not have to add element into the map in Java for them to be returned by the query.
Now I want the contents of the Map to reflect what the application has added into the Map rather than performing a dynamic query.
There are 4 varieties of Map I want to store
    private Map<String, String> map0;
    private Map<String, Entity> map1;
    private Map<Entity, String> map2;
    private Map<Entity, Entity> map3;

In these cases there is NO relationship between the key & and value nor is there any relationship to the holding Entity.
I have to be able to specify the name of the join table was well as the column names for the key & value.
I have tried the following
@Entity
public class Department {
    @ElementCollection
    @CollectionTable(name = "TEST_MAP0")
    @Column(name="value")
    @MapKeyColumn(name="Key")
    private Map<String, String> map0;

    @ElementCollection(targetClass = com.demo.bb.impls.Employee.class)
    @CollectionTable(name = "TEST_MAP1")
    @Column(name="value")
    @MapKeyColumn(name="Key")
    private Map<String, Employee> map1;

    @ElementCollection
    @MapKeyClass(value = com.demo.bb.impls.Employee.class)
    @CollectionTable(name = "TEST_MAP2")
    @Column(name="value")
    @MapKeyColumn(name="Key")
    private Map<Employee, String> map2;

    @ElementCollection(targetClass = com.demo.bb.impls.ParkingSpace.class)
    @MapKeyClass(value = com.demo.bb.impls.Employee.class)
    @CollectionTable(name = "TEST_MAP3")
    @Column(name="value")
    @MapKeyColumn(name="Key")
    private Map<Employee, ParkingSpace> map3;

Case 0 Map works fine & the generated join table has columns DEPARTMENT, VALUE, KEY
The other three cases work in as much as you can store data in the tables & in Java interrogate the tables with the relevant keys/values & get back the expected results - i.e. it does handle storing Entities using @ElementCollection
But the column name overrides using @Column(name="value") & @MapKeyColumn(name="key") are ignored when the key or value is an Entity.
I have tried using @ManyToMany annotations as follows
    @ManyToMany(targetEntity = com.demo.bb.impls.Employee.class)
    @JoinTable(name = "TEST_MAP1_B")
    @Column(name="value")
    @MapKeyColumn(name="Key")
    private Map<String, Employee> map1_B;

    @ManyToMany(targetEntity = com.demo.bb.impls.ParkingSpace.class)
    @MapKeyClass(value = com.demo.bb.impls.Employee.class)
    @JoinTable(name = "TEST_MAP3_B")
    @Column(name="value")
    @MapKeyColumn(name="Key")
    private Map<Employee, ParkingSpace> map3_B;

But again the key & value column names overrides are ignored. Does anybody know of a way to enforce these column name overrides.
Thanks in advance...
UPDATE....After looking at the response from @wypieprz I think I know the correct annotation to allow you to specify column names for the value & the key when the Map is keyed by a basic with an entity value.
By using the following
    @ManyToMany(targetEntity = com.demo.bb.impls.Employee.class)
    @JoinTable(name = "TEST_MAP1", inverseJoinColumns=@JoinColumn(name="VALUE"))
    @MapKeyColumn(name="KEY")
    private Map<String, Employee> map1;

Using the inverseJoinColumn I can specify the value column name.
But If the key is an Entity I have not found a way to specify the key column name. As the doc say @MapKeyColumn "specifies the mapping for the key column of a map whose map key is a basic type"
I am also not sure of the annotations to use when the key is an Entity & the value is a basic. Using ManyToMany just does not work & I think I may have to use ElementCollection but again I cannot find a way to specify the key column name.
UPDATE 2...
Thanks to Peter Halicky for a solution.
In summary to name all 3 columns on each of the cases you need to do something like this.
@ElementCollection
@CollectionTable(name = "TEST_MAP0", joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "DEPARTMENT"))
@Column(name = "value")
@MapKeyColumn(name = "key")
private Map<String, String> map0;

@ManyToMany(targetEntity = com.hibernate.elephants.Employee.class)
@JoinTable(name = "TEST_MAP1", joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "DEPARTMENT"), inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "value"))
@MapKeyColumn(name = "key")
private Map<String, Employee> map1;

@ElementCollection
@CollectionTable(name = "TEST_MAP2", joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "DEPARTMENT"))
@MapKeyClass(value = com.hibernate.elephants.Employee.class)
@MapKeyJoinColumn(name = "key")
@Column(name = "value")
private Map<Employee, String> map2;

@ManyToMany(targetEntity = com.hibernate.elephants.ParkingSpace.class)
@JoinTable(name = "TEST_MAP3", joinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "DEPARTMENT"), inverseJoinColumns = @JoinColumn(name = "value"))
@MapKeyClass(value = com.hibernate.elephants.Employee.class)
@MapKeyJoinColumn(name="key")
private Map<Employee, com.hibernate.elephants.ParkingSpace> map3;

Note two cases are specified as ElementCollection but the two cases where the value is another Entity need to use ManyToMany.

A: I'm using an entity as a key to a Map, as below. Using the @MapKeyJoinColumn annotation I could specify the name of the column that is the key of the map. This worked for me on Hibernate, not sure what other JPA implementations will do, but it surely is worth trying.
@ElementCollection
@CollectionTable(name="breed_descriptions", joinColumns={ @JoinColumn(name="breed") })
@Column(name="description")
@MapKeyJoinColumn(name="language")
private Map<Language, String> descriptions = new HashMap<>();

In 1964, the U.S. Surgeon General announced cigarette smoking was detrimental to human health, and should be addressed at a national level. At the time, half the adult population smoked tobacco. Today, the percentage of smokers in the U.S. is less than 20 percent of the adult population, and in New York state it is around 17 percent. Even better, today only 4 percent of American youth under 18 years of age smoke cigarettes. Kids these days are taught from a very early age that cigarettes are objectively unhealthy and indisputably bad for them. Think of it this way: what other product kills half of its users, if it is used exactly as directed?
It is clearly a positive development that less Americans are smoking, and that fewer young people take up the habit. Education and regulations are working. Unfortunately, tobacco companies in response developed and are gaining momentum with a new, youth-friendly product called Electronic Nicotine Delivery System (ENDS). These products are also referred to as e-cigarettes, vape, tanks, and vape pens. Some of the popular brands include blu and JUUL.
ENDS are sold at many retail stores and "smoke shops," and are among the most popular products sold online. They come in multiple designs and in a host of flavors—ranging from bubble gum to bacon. Regretfully, we are hearing that many youth, college-age kids, and young adults believe ENDS are not dangerous, and are just flavored water vapor. This is not true.
ENDS are tobacco products and detrimental to a user's health. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has very little regulation related to ENDS. Current regulations include that ENDS products must have a childproof cap, cannot be sold to anyone under age 18, and must state if they contain nicotine. However, the marketing, advertising, and packaging are not regulated by the FDA. There are no FDA regulations requiring ENDS products to disclose the amount of nicotine, or to include a complete list of ingredients. A typical ENDS product list of ingredients includes: nicotine, distilled water, propylene glycol, diacetyl, glycerin and artificial flavors. There are few studies on the safety of these ingredients when inhaled.
How does vaping work? Very simply, an energy source heats up a flavored, nicotine-infused liquid, which becomes a vapor and is inhaled by the user. The added flavors allow for less throat irritation and enable the user to take a deeper inhale, which leads to more toxins being deposited in their lungs.
ENDS are often packaged in a nifty little device that frequently resembles a flash drive or stylus. The lower-cost, refillable tanks are generally sized to fit easily in your hand. Using an ENDS product emits smoke that is easily missed, and which smells of the flavor being used. School-aged kids are using these products in school hallways, bathrooms, and classrooms—and are easily hiding this behavior. There is no dirty ash, no burn holes in clothing, and the smell is much harder to detect. There is, however, nicotine–the drug found in all tobacco products that causes tobacco addiction.
The amount of nicotine in ENDS products varies and is rarely indicated in understandable language on the packaging. Exposure to nicotine during the teen years, when a young person's brain is still developing, can disrupt the brain circuits that control attention, learning, impulse control, and mood disorders, and can also increase the youth's susceptibility to addiction. We know the effects of nicotine exposure on children and young people can be long-lasting. What we don't know, however, because ENDS is still a relatively new product, are the long-term health effects of vaping on youth.
Thanks to the New York State Clean Indoor Act, the use of ENDS products is prohibited in public areas and in all the same places where smoking is not allowed. Despite these restrictions, ENDS use is growing.
This poses a challenge. How do we reign in the use of a wildly popular product that is already readily available online and in brick-and-mortar stores, and is generally incorrectly though to be safe?
Some ideas include an increase in education and community outreach, while others advocate increasing taxes on ENDS products to the same level as taxes on other tobacco products. Other ideas include restricting online sales, regulating the flavors, and raising the minimum age to buy ENDS to 21.


This next recipe is something that is perfect as a side salad or can be eaten as a light lunch or dinner! My mom and I had it a few weeks back at a café we went to for lunch, and we loved it so much we figured we would try to replicate it at home. The recipe itself is super easy to throw together but is still full of flavor and quite a few different ingredients. I know it sounds super healthy (it is!) but it is also just as delicious! You will have to give it a try for yourself to find out!
Since we were replicating this recipe, I don't have exact measurements or amounts of each ingredient, but it is essentially just combining all of them in a bowl. I used more kale and quinoa as the base of my salad and then used the other ingredients more as toppings, but you can adjust yours however you want really! For the lemon dressing, I followed a recipe out of my Love & Lemons cookbook, which was the perfect complement to the flavors already in the salad. Below I have shared all the ingredients and directions for both the kale salad and the lemon dressing! Enjoy!
Combine all ingredients and stir together!


The fundamental misunderstanding of the plight of agricultural producers stems from the idea that farming is, or should be, natural. Farming is not natural. It is, in fact, a struggle against nature.
Editor's note: R.N. Hopper raises cotton, grain, cattle and various other crops near Petersburg, Texas. The following is a response he and his neighbor developed to counter negative claims in a recent social media post. We thought the essay more than worthy of sharing with Farm Press readers.
I am writing in response to the negative comments written about biotechnology in agriculture. Randy McGee, a close friend and neighbor, came by recently and showed me his Facebook page in an attempt to get me to participate in social media. Our farm is about 25 miles from his, but around here, there are so few young farm families, this proximity still constitutes a neighbor.
I do not have a Facebook account, something I intend to remedy, so Randy was kind enough to allow me to post on his. My name is R. N. Hopper. I am a 33-year old agricultural producer who grows white food corn, cotton, wheat, grain sorghum, black-eyed peas, and stocker cattle. I live and work on the farm with my wife and three children.
This year has been the most difficult of my career because of the most severe drought in the last 100 years of recorded history. Not only have we had just two inches of rainfall in the last 12 months, but we have also set new records for heat and average wind speed. Our irrigation and production systems are not designed to operate in these unprecedented conditions.
Of all of the natural disasters that can hurt our crops, drought is by far the most painful. While harsh storms or plagues of insects can sometimes bring immediate destruction, drought is like death from a thousand cuts. Each new day brings hope of rain and each new night brings disappointment as we struggle with Mother Nature and watch our crops suffer.
Adversity is nothing new for a farm family. This struggle against nature has been our story since the fall of man, recorded in Genesis: "cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. – Gen 3:17-19.
But just as our merciful God made Adam and Eve coats of skins and clothing before he sent them out of the garden, He has not left us alone to fend for ourselves against Mother Nature. He has clothed us with the ability to learn from our mistakes, to develop better production practices, to use the scientific knowledge to better utilize our given resources, and to employ technology.
The fundamental misunderstanding of the plight of agricultural producers stems from the idea that farming is, or should be, natural. Farming is not natural. It is in fact, as earlier alluded, a struggle against nature. This is why the amount of production for any given crop is referred to as "yield"—what nature has allowed the grower. It is not taken from Mother Nature by force, but rather nature has capitulated, as a loving parent would to an ardently petitioning child.
It may surprise you that I say farming is unnatural, but I assure you that you will never see a population of 32,000 corn plants per acre in nature. When you attempt such trying to attain a high yield, many problems arise. These "unnatural" populations open the door to attacks from insects and disease, problems that must be managed.
Something else you will never see in nature is a lone stalk of corn. Corn plants have no mechanisms of seed dispersal. Consequently, if an ear of corn falls to the ground, the seeds will germinate and die from the intense competition. If it were not for the care of farmers and domesticated agriculture, corn, as we know it, would have disappeared from the Earth.
Management required for successful agriculture is no less necessary than the management required to sustain the 8.3 million people in the city of New York. Such a population on such a small area opens the door to many problems. A lot of food and other resources must be brought in, and a lot of waste must be carried out. An army of public servants must serve the needs of sanitation, law enforcement, and maintenance.
Yet you choose to cry against my family and me because we are a smaller and less powerful target. You use the technology of social media to have a voice against farmers, but would deny us the technology to safely and affordably feed you. I have read your claims against biotechnology and find them to be full of falsehoods and half-truths perpetuated by uninformed fear mongers.
The Mercola website that reported the story of the 1,000 acres of corn being destroyed is among the worst inaccuracies. On that site I read a story about buffalo eating GMO cottonseed and becoming sterile. This might be funny if it were not so tragic in its ignorance. It is not the transgenes that cause the buffalo's sterility, but rather the gossypol, a toxic pigment found in all cotton seed—which can only be detoxified by heating during processing—that causes temporary sterility in adult bulls and permanent sterility in adolescent males. In fact, the Chinese male birth control pill, also used in Brazil, is based on gossypol.
U.S. farmers grow 40 percent of the world's corn and 10 percent of the world's wheat. The genes selected to protect and enhance these crops are chosen with great care. I remember one of the first genes to control worms in corn was the StarLink (Cry9C) protein developed by Aventis. StarLink was a very long and complex protein structure. Most allergens are also long and complex proteins. There was never a single person identified who showed an allergic reaction to StarLink, but since it was a long protein, and it is impossible to prove that something is not an allergen with a world population of six billion, it became guilty by association.
The EPA did, however, allow StarLink to be fed to animals. This was a terrible mistake to allow StarLink for animal and not human consumption because we do not have the infrastructure necessary in our grain handling facilities to segregate the grain consumed by animals and humans. It was only a matter of time before the StarLink corn found its way into the food supply in the form of taco shells. There was never one instance where a person was hurt by the StarLink protein, but its uncleared presence in the food supply caused it to be quickly taken from the market in 2000.
The mill where I deliver our corn continued to test for StarLink until 2009, when it was clear that it had been completely purged. The genes that followed StarLink, such as Dow AgroSciences' Herculex (Cry1F), were extensively tested to the point they were cleared for both humans and animals. Never again will one be cleared and the other not.
That report started a panic almost overnight and soon the story was picked up by Phil Donahue, The Today Show, CNN, Women's Day, The Washington Post, and The New York Times, to name a few. Even actress Meryl Streep joined the fray with her founding of Mothers and Others for Pesticide Limits.
The mass hysteria that ensued led to mothers dumping all their apple products. Apples were removed from school lunches and rotted on grocery store shelves. The market for apples and apple products fell so quickly that 20,000 apple farmers suffered and many of them ended up in bankruptcy. Then, because the Consumer Group Citizen Alliance decided they hadn't cheated enough farmers out of their livelihoods, they claimed Alar was being used on grapefruit, even though Alar was never used on citrus. Tons of grapefruit headed to South Korea and elsewhere were left to rot on the dock as export shipments were reduced by 90 percent.
The Alar scare was nothing more than a scandalous, deliberately misleading fund raising campaign led by the Natural Resources Defense Council, a self-appointed environmental activist group. Alar had been used since 1966 by some growers to help prevent early drop; thus extending the harvest season, shelf life, and even the nutritional value of the apples. The amount of Alar fed to the lab mice by NRDC would have been the equivalent of an average adult eating 28,000 pounds of Alar-treated apples every year for 70 years.
This is not to say that it was the Alar residue rather than an impossible overdose of a natural compound in the apples causing the cancer in the mice. NRDC petitioned the EPA to reconsider the Alar label and a "special review" panel considered this petition. The Scientific Advisory Panel for the EPA concluded NRDC's evidence was flawed and rejected it on its baseless and ridiculous nature. This matter was decided three weeks before CBS aired the Alar story. What a waste. What a tragedy for all of my brother farmers and their families.
The primary goal in my life and the purpose of my existence is to provide as much food for as many people for as little expense as my talents and resources will allow. You want nothing different from what I want - safe food and a productive future for my children.
Randy invited one of you to visit his farm. His invitation was thrown back in his face and that person also attacked him and insulted his intelligence. I will once again extend the same invitation. I plead with each of you to re-examine your beliefs about biotechnology. It is humanity's single greatest hope for the future. In years to come, I believe that this will be borne out by history.
These environmental extremist organizations are nothing more than terrorists. My family doesn't have to worry about jets flying into our sparsely populated town, but we are terrorized by our own American brothers and sisters - by you - who are entitled to your own opinions, but not to your own facts.
In any event, I shall continue to strive to be the best steward of the great blessings my Creator has given me charge over as long as I live. I have only one request: Please stop hurting my family. It seems too simple a request, but regretfully, I don't know how else to ask. May God bless you. May he bless us all.

Coronavirus Pandemic and the UAE's Government Role in Keeping the Country Safe?
The Coronavirus has struck the world from nowhere and has dug its claws with surprising fierceness. While we do not know for how long this worldwide crisis will last, but we must understand that this virus is deadly and brought the mighty superpowers of the world to their knees. In light of these troubling circumstances, the United Arab Emirates is doing everything in its power to keep its citizens safe from this virulent virus.
So far, this is what we know about how Coronavirus is spreading.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the United States of America, the virus is suspected of spreading through person-to-person contact as the virus resides in the contaminated person's body and is released in the air when said person sneezes or coughs. Because of this, to limit its spread, preventive measures such as social distancing and self-isolation have been introduced. While it is thought that people are most contagious when they are displaying the most symptoms, however, some experts believe that the spread might be possible even before the infected person exhibits any indications of acquiring the COVID-19.
Global Scenario After the COVID-19 Outbreak
Since the start of the outbreak, local, provincial, regional, and international health organizations have been working diligently to limit its spread. Scientists and experts in every walk of life are scrambling to concoct a cure for this virus of unknown origin and are hell-bent on developing such technologies that will deter the spread of Coronavirus long enough to stop it from entirely overwhelming national healthcare systems. Especially in conveyance hubs that are used by people coming from all over the planet. Furthermore, they are actively trying to create new medicines and delivering them to developing nations where medical systems are weak, under-funded, under-developed, and is vulnerable.
The world is in panic mode, with the Coronavirus entering a new country daily. Adding to this panic are countries that are showing no infection data like Indonesia, driving some to conclude that the COVID-19 is quietly spreading over the archipelago. Jakarta, at last, has slowly begun testing its population after announcing the previous week its plans of rolling out strict airport testing and detection protocols.
In contrast, however, Hong Kong is the chief player in the development of a cure to eliminate COVID-19 completely and is fighting at the frontlines, keeping in mind its proximity to mainland China—the center of the virus—. Singapore, a country recognized for its cleanliness and superior medical facilities, has executed drastic measures that strictly limit travel to mainland China and is forcefully quarantining those returning from foreign trips. People are officially charged if they are found to be declaring incorrect travel history.
Rendering these policies remarkably effective – recovery rates now far surpass infection rates in Singapore.

UAE's Stance During the Global Pandemic
Across the Persian Gulf, the Arab countries have reacted contrarily, with spotty results. Most have, at least, installed non-intrusive thermal screening at exit and entry points to effectively screen all airline passengers and have canceled numerous cultural and sporting events.
On the other hand, some countries have employed more stringent tactics to stem the spread.
The UAE, specifically, has proved to have taken well-thought-out steps meant to curb the spread of Coronavirus and safeguard its position as a significant business hub. UAE authoritative bodies have established numerous preventative measures, recognizing its weakness as a potential catalyst of a global pandemic, like localized quarantines, implementing social distancing, and rigorous airport screenings. Hand sanitizers are now available in all of the hotels' entry and exit points. Government agencies are instructed to interact online through a face-to-face meetings portal. An introductory program is in place that will teach the students via distance learning.
It has been advised that the public take proactive measures such as repeatedly washing hands with soap and clean water, and covering the mouth with tissue or napkin when coughing or sneezing. The Department of Health has also circulated an instruction that the country's national health plan will include all diagnoses, admission, and treatment of suspected COVID-19 cases.
Measures Taken by the UAE to Fight COVID-19
Ensuring public health and safety is the top priority of the UAE government; to assure its residents, the authorities have taken the subsequent precautionary measures.
On March 14, the UAE Central Bank announced a stimulus package of Dh100 billion to offset the slowdown in the economy produced by the outbreak and consequent drop in business activity
Later, on March 22, the UAE Cabinet recommended an additional Dh16 billion be added to the already impressive Dh100 billion stimulus package to counter the adverse effects of the Coronavirus outbreak effectively.
Apart from granting the aforementioned financial stimulus, the government of the UAE is also taking strict measures to guarantee the global pandemic is controlled and contained within the UAE.
A three-day National Sterilization Drive was declared on March 26. The drive, which took place on Thursday, March 26, until Sunday, March 29, was carried out by the Ministry of Interior in coordination with all related federal and local authorities.
Dubai Executive Council issued directives to government entities to implement a hundred percent remote work system as on Sunday, March 29, 2020.
First Arab Bank, Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank, and Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank announced initiatives for people and small and medium businesses to relieve the financial strain they might endure because of the economic repercussions of the pandemic. The efforts cover deferring installments, decreasing interest charges, bank costs, and down payment.
With such well-thought-out initiatives, the United Arab Emirates has led by example, on how should the Coronavirus outbreak must be handled. By employing both economically defensive strategies and being medically proactive is the only way to fight this beast.
Entrepreneurs who want to invest in the UAE or are looking to set up their business in Dubai cannot do so right now due to the lockdown. However, no need to worry as we at KWS Middle East are always here to help you. Our experts are just a phone call away.

Effective Lobby for Inclusion of People with Disabilities
Take-aways from DCDD's Learning Session
On 21st of June Dutch Coalition on Disability and Development organized a knowledge session together with the Leprosy Mission with the theme of "Effective Lobby for Inclusion of People with Disabilities." We had the honour to receive a guest speaker from India: Pradeep Bagival, who has worked for several UN agencies and USAID as a disability advisor, as well as served as the Assistant Commissioner for Disabilities for the Government of India. Currently, Pradeep works as a Head of Advocacy in Leprosy Mission, combining his passion for advocacy and commitment to disability rights together with helping to ensure that the rights of people affected by leprosy feature high on the agenda of INGOs, national governments and the UN.
In her welcoming introduction, Lieke Scheewe, the Coordinator & Policy Advisor of DCDD, addressed the importance of acknowledging the great diversity which exists within the disability movement. While persons with disabilities all face similar negative assumptions about their abilities, different groups (e.g. people with albinism, autism, visual impairment, physical or intellectual disability or leprosy) all face very different types of barriers and challenges as well. We need to not only take these differences into account in our advocacy, but also stay aware of how we can build on these diversities as a strength of solidarity.
Human Rights-Based Approach
Pradeep emphasized the Human Rights-Based Approach in addressing the discrimination against persons with disabilities. Pradeep views the Human Rights-Based Approach through three pillars: Participation, Non-discrimination and Accountability. For example, political representation of persons who themselves have a disability is an excellent form of participation. Regarding non-discrimination, Pradeep stated that generally the stigma and discrimination towards disabilities has decreased, but minority groups within people with disabilities are still facing enormous stigma.
As one of these minority groups, Pradeep mentioned persons with leprosy. He gave an example from India, where there used to be 119 discriminatory laws against persons with leprosy-related disabilities – they were, for example, denied access to education and politics as well as rights to own property. Fortunately, because of successful advocacy, change is slowly taking place: in 2014, the Indian Ministry of Law and Justice proposed to repeal those laws discriminating persons with leprosy, and in 2019, the Indian parliament passed a bill to remove leprosy as a ground for divorce from 5 personal laws of India. However, a lot remains to be done in working towards 'non-discrimination' in practice. Lastly, speaking of accountability, Pradeep encouraged holding the governments accountable, when they are not abiding by the agreements, especially by making use of the human rights mechanisms of the UN.
Principles and Guidelines to Eliminate Discrimination against Persons affected by Leprosy and their family members
'Principles and Guidelines to Eliminate Discrimination against Persons affected by Leprosy and their family members' is an initiative of the Human Rights sub-commission from 2004, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2010 and endorsed by the Human Rights Council. The Principles and Guidelines are legally binding in all 22 leprosy priority countries (i.e. where leprosy is most prevalent) as well as obligatory to implement for countries that have ratified human rights treaties. Pradeep emphasized the importance of the Principles and Guidelines, because the stigma and discrimination does not only affect the persons with leprosy but their family members too. Families affected by leprosy tend to lose their social capital, which is otherwise a crucial safety net, especially in village communities. Families get isolated when neighbours, religious groups and other social structures abandon them due to fear of contracting the disease. Pradeep raised a concern that despite the binding and obligatory nature of the Principles and Guidelines, a review conducted in 2016 revealed that discrimination still continues.
Finally, Another important topic of Pradeep's speech emphasized the crucial importance of good governance – he underlined, that without good governance, we are not going to reach inclusion, neither the Sustainable Development Goals. When asked what to do in the situation where there is a lack of good governance, Pradeep's answer was clear "Advocate! Civil society has an important role in improving and promoting good governance -– use the media, the UN system, and specific research studies to provide evidence – tell them why exactly good governance is needed."

A feature length film directed by Alejandro Amenábar and released in 1997, Abre los Ojos challenges your perception skills whilst captivating you in the complex story line with new ideas and solutions of what direction it is going next. The film starred Penelope Cruz, Fele Martinez and Eduardo Noriega as the protagonists. Abre los Ojos is the original story line that was later remade in 2001 under the title Vanilla Sky, again featuring Penelope Cruz in the same role alongside Tom Cruise.
Abre los ojos starts with a young man wearing a prosthetic mask in a prison cell, telling his story to a psychiatrist. From here on, there follow a series of long flashbacks and scenes that detail how this man got into this situation. However things aren't as they seem at first sight.
The man, who we find out is called Cesar, is then portrayed as a handsome, rich party animal who likes to flirt with women. At his birthday party, he begins flirting with a girl named Sofia who came to the party as the date of his best friend, Pelayo. However after the party, his ex-lover Nuria gets extremely jealous and offers him a lift in her car. While in the car though, she goes crazy, takes a handful of pills, and then crashes the car, killing herself and leaving Cesar horribly disfigured.
The extremely vain Cesar then slips into a terrible depression that leaves him alone and drunk in an alleyway, as Sofia went back to be being with Pelayo. However by the next day, everything has been miraculously resolved. Cesar's face is no longer deformed and Sofia has fallen in love with him. But the good times don't last for Cesar, and from here on, the film gets very strange, descending through a series of weird events that eventually help to explain what happened to him. For example, Sofia keeps transforming into Cesar's dead ex-lover Nuria, driving him to the point of madness. Abre los Ojos will have you second guessing yourself and your eyes will be glued to the screen as you piece together the subtle clues left around throughout the movie. And remember, not everything is as it seems!
Reactions and Analysis
On analysis, the film actually has a lot of underlying themes aside from being a psychological thriller. There is a lot of playing with the ideas of appearances and reality in the film, which is helped along by the constant use of mirror symbolism. It is for this reason that Abre los Ojos has also been compared to the Matrix trilogy. Other elements to look out for are the focus on vanity, bodies and health, as well as the modern picture of Spanish youth and youth culture. This culture is particularly evident in the soundtrack which features a number of pop and rock songs by artists like The Walkabouts and Smoke City.
Amenábar has often been criticized for trying to emanate Hollywood style cinema too much; however this is the style that has brought him so much fame over the years. In this sense, there are a number of classic horror elements that come from American films, such as the references to Jekyll and Hyde with the juxtaposition of Cesar's deformed and fixed face. The film also contains many traces of the film Vertigo by Alfred Hitchcock. Amenábar has been a fan of Hitchcock's films and even told Penelope Cruz to study Vertigo before the filming of Abre los Ojos.
Abre los Ojos was nominated for 10 Goya awards in 1998, but was beaten in every single category. However it did win a number of awards at various small film festivals around the globe, including an Honorable Mention at the Berlin International Film Festival in 1998, the Best Ibero-American Film Award at the Guadalajara Mexican Film Festival in 1999, and the Tokyo Grand Prix at the Tokyo International Film Festival in 1998. The movie was warmly welcomed, frequently receiving high and perfect rating scores from ruthless critics both in and outside of Spain, and it fared much better than its remake Vanilla Sky. It has been said each aspect of the movie worked together, something which can be seen especially in the music composition that continuously complements what is taking place in each scene.

U.S. Senator John Thune Delivers Weekly Republican Address | Virginia Right!
WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator John Thune (R-South Dakota) released the following weekly Republican address.
"Hello, I'm Senator John Thune of South Dakota.
"For months now, my Republican colleagues and I have been saying that President Obama has made our economy worse since he took office. This past week, even he admitted that the American people are not better off than they were four years ago.
"Just since his inauguration in 2009, there are two million more people unemployed, six million more people living in poverty, and 13 million more on food stamps.
"Our federal debt has increased by 39 percent. That's more than $4 trillion dollars.
"Because of this additional debt, every man, woman, and child in America now owes $12,000 more than they did on the day President Obama was sworn in.
"President Obama's policies are damaging our economy, and his proposed solutions are not serious.
"His latest stimulus bill is so flawed that Senate Democrats have rejected it and are rewriting it, not to grow jobs, but to improve their political standing.
"It's nothing but a rehash of the same failed ideas he's already tried, combined with a huge tax increase. This is a cynical political ploy that's designed not to create jobs for struggling Americans, but to save the President's own job.
"There are common sense things that we can do to give America the freedom and the certainty to create good jobs.
"For starters, we can finally implement the free trade agreements we've negotiated with Panama, Colombia, and South Korea.
"Today 95 percent of the world's consumers live outside the United States. Washington should be doing all it can to lower trade barriers, and help Americans sell more of our products to those customers.
"Altogether, these three trade deals will boost U.S. exports by more than $12 billion. And all that new exporting means new U.S. jobs – 70,000 of them as a result of the South Korea agreement alone.
"So I was glad to see that President Obama finally submitted the trade deals to Congress, after letting them sit on his desk for almost 1,000 days.
"It's extremely unfortunate that we had to wait so long for the President to do something so simple, to help promote American exports, and create American jobs.
"As just one example, while the trade agreements have languished, America's market share of wheat, corn, and soybeans sold to Colombia has collapsed from 78 percent in 2008, to 28 percent in 2010.
"Over the past 1,000 days, how many unemployed Americans might have gotten a job, if the President had just been willing to stop playing politics, and let American businesses compete?
"Republicans in Congress are ready to take up these trade deals, so Americans can get back to work. I hope the Democrats will join us in this effort.
"And while we're at it, if the President is finally ready to get serious about helping businesses hire more workers, he can rein in his runaway bureaucracy that seems to be doing all it can to destroy jobs rather than create them.
"His National Labor Relations Board has sued to force Boeing Company to fire 1,000 workers who are building airplanes in South Carolina. All because the workers are not in a labor union.
"Apparently the Obama Administration would rather have people unemployed than allow them to work in non-union jobs.
"That is a destructive idea, and it sends a dangerous message to American companies looking to expand operations and to create jobs.
"Of course a business owner is going to think twice about investing in a new factory, and hiring more workers, if he or she is afraid Washington will step in and shut them down, just to appease union bosses.
"On top of that threat there is the overwhelming number of rules and regulations Washington piles on the backs of job creators. President Obama's administration has pushed through more than 61,000 pages of new regulations so far this year alone.
"Dealing with just these new requirements will take Americans an astonishing 82 million hours, and cost $80 billion.
"Regulations and excessive red tape kill jobs, increase our dependence on foreign oil, and impose costs that American business owners cannot afford.
"In my state of South Dakota we have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country. That's because our state has low taxes, fewer government regulations, and is a right-to-work state.
"The Republican plan to get our country moving again builds on these kinds of ideas. We're calling for a regulatory time-out, an affordable energy plan, broad-based tax reform including lower rates, and policies that provide the certainty and stability our economy desperately needs.
"Washington, under President Obama has grown too powerful, and has hurt job creation.
"Too often Washington is the problem, not the solution, and we've seen the results since President Obama was sworn in and started moving our country in the wrong direction.
"The President is right when he says that Americans are not better off today than they were four years ago. And if we're going to get off this wrong track that he's put us on, President Obama has got to change course.

3.3 million for study on faith in the internet economy
Researchers at the IViR Sovereignty4Europe project are exploring the principles of an 'Internet-of-Trust'. The aim is to design a system that securely stores varied transactions in a blockchain. IViR is conducting the project in collaboration with researchers from TU Delft, Erasmus University Rotterdam and other partners. The 3.3-million euro project was funded through contributions from NWO, RvIG, Holland High Tech, Topsector HTSM, and Delft Blockchain Lab TU Delft.
Project leader Johan Pouwelse (TU Delft): 'Internet behemoths like Amazon, eBay, Google essentially sell trust: we use Amazon and eBay as trusted intermediaries, and visit Google to find relevant websites. These giant companies then store our personal data on their own individual servers. We aim to replace these US-dominated central servers with a general, non-profit and open source alternative that can serve as the basis for a reliable blockchain economy. A scalable and reliable way of maintaining trust and reputation in an open environment, with no need for a central authority.'
The project should culminate in the design of an internet-based system capable of reliably storing a wide range of transactions in a blockchain, in line with European legislation. This will make individuals uniquely identifiable and allow researchers to ascertain levels of trust from previous transactions. The Internet-of-Trust infrastructure is currently being evaluated in an online community made up of 50,000 internet users. The legal aspects of this blockchain economy are being evaluated on the basis of national and European privacy laws.
The project is being headed by Balázs Bodó, the founder of the ERC-funded Blockchain and Society Policy Research Lab. Bodó: 'The legal team is assessing how new, technological forms of trust building can work with rather than against the legal system's current trust building instruments such as regulation, law enforcement and the court system.'
Collaboration with National Office for Identity Data (RvIG)
In addition to the three universities, the Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations' National Office for Identity Data (RvIG) is also actively participating in the project. RvIG aims to contribute to an open, universally accessible ecosystem that meets both social (privacy and security) and economic needs. Amongst other benefits, the new system should help strengthen trust in digital transactions, reduce costs and promote the development of alternative forms of service provision such as an electronic ID card.
The project should also yield insights at a European administrative level. The European Commission (EC) has asserted that blockchain technology allows for new distributed and interaction models that are based on direct peer-to-peer information exchange and do not require any central platforms or intermediaries, and is currently assessing the feasibility of an EU Blockchain Infrastructure (EuroChain). Sovereignty4Europe seamlessly reflects these European ambitions.
