Unilateral introgression from diploids to tetraploids has been hypothesized to be an important evolutionary mechanism in plants. However, few examples have been definitively identified, perhaps because data of sufficient depth and breadth were difficult to obtain before the advent of affordable high-density genotyping. Throughout Japan, tetraploid Miscanthus sacchariflorus and diploid Miscanthus sinensis are common, and occasionally hybridize. In this study, 667 M. sinensis and 78 M. sacchariflorus genotypes from Japan were characterized using 20 704 SNPs and ten plastid microsatellites. Similarity of SNP genotypes between diploid and tetraploid M. sacchariflorus indicated that the tetraploids originated through autopolyploidy. Structure analysis indicated a gradient of introgression from diploid M. sinensis into tetraploid M. sacchariflorus throughout Japan; most tetraploids had some M. sinensis DNA. Among phenotypically M. sacchariflorus tetraploids, M. sinensis ancestry averaged 7% and ranged from 1-39%, with introgression greatest in southern Japan. Unexpectedly, rare (~1%) diploid M. sinensis individuals from northern Japan were found with 6-27% M. sacchariflorus ancestry. Population structure of M. sinensis in Japan included three groups, and was driven primarily by distance, and secondarily by geographic barriers such as mountains and straits. Miscanthus speciation is a complex and dynamic process. In contrast to limited introgression between diploid M. sacchariflorus and M. sinensis in northern China, selection for adaptation to a moderate maritime climate probably favoured cross-ploidy introgressants in southern Japan. These results will help guide the selection of Miscanthus accessions for the breeding of biomass cultivars.

Human self-consciousness implies the recognition of the reality of selves other than the conscious self and further implies that such awareness is mutual; that the self is known as it knows. This is shown in a purely human manner in man's social life. But you cannot become so absolutely certain of a fellow being's reality as you can of the reality of the presence of God that lives within you. The social consciousness is not inalienable like the God-consciousness; it is a cultural development and is dependent on knowledge, symbols, and the contributions of the constitutive endowments of man — science, morality, and religion. And these cosmic gifts, socialized, constitute civilization.
Civilizations are unstable because they are not cosmic; they are not innate in the individuals of the races. They must be nurtured by the combined contributions of the constitutive factors of man — science, morality, and religion. Civilizations come and go, but science, morality, and religion always survive the crash.

Understanding Food: What Are Fats Besides a Bad Word?
For the past three (four?) decades, the macronutrient we were most often told to avoid is fat. Fat is joined by protein and carbohydrates to form the triumvirate of macronutrients you hear bandied about the media so often. Fat, a short form of 'fatty acids', is thought to make you fat, predicated on the fact that fat has 9 calories per gram, whereas protein and carbohydrate only have 4. Fat is fattening, so says the mainstream, because it's caloric energy is over twice that of neighboring macronutrients.
While fat is more calorie-dense than protein or carbohydrate, that's where the 'danger' ends. (The Inuit, whose diet is comprised of 90% fat, would probably agree). Without writing a biochemistry text, here is what you need to know about fat.
There have been no two more demonized words over the past 30 years than 'saturated fat'. Which is too bad, because these form some of the most basic structural fats found in a healthy human body, and they're a primary energy source for the human metabolism.
We have been relentlessly bombarded over the past 30+ years to think this type of fat gives us heart disease and makes us fat, and that's simply not true. The fact is that you can eat as much of these as you want if you're metabolically healthy, and be better off for it.
Found in olives (and olive oil), beef, macadamia nuts and avocados. Generally considered a healthy fat, these fats are the core type found in the body (along with saturated fats). Ingestion of these at any level does not lead to toxicity.
Verdict: eat freely. The only downside to these fats is that they typically contain high amounts of Omega 6 fatty acids, which we get in far too copious amounts in modern society (as opposed to Omega 3). Keep that in mind, especially if you're chasing a better Omega 6:Omega 3 ratio through fish oil supplements.
Polyunsaturated fats are often called PUFAs. Ideally, we want a 1:1 ratio of Omega 6 fatty acids to Omega 3. Back when we ate more traditional diets, that's on par with what we got. Today, we're more in the range of 10:1 to 20:1, which is way out of range for optimal health. Nearly every proceseed food and grain is high in Omega 6, and since we as a nation are fans of processed foods, our Omega 6 levels are off the charts. Coincidentally, this is what's responsible for epidemics like obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome (aka pre-diabetes) and autoimmune disorders.
When people say to take fish oil as a supplement, they don't mean there's an inherent magic in fish oil. They mean to increase your intake of Omega 3s.
Omega 6 is found in fruit, some vegetables, cereal grains, and meat. The more processed a meat is, the more Omega 6 it contains (due to what the animal was fed during its lifespan on an industrial farm). Omega 6 is found is very high amounts in processed seed oil: sunflower, cottonseed, safflower, corn. As you probably know, these are all but ubiquitous in the Standard American Diet (SAD). Omega 6s are also found in processed salad dressings, crackers and scads of restaurant dishes.
Omega 3 is what we want more of, and can be broken down into three other sub-nutrients you might hear a lot about: ALA, DHA, EPA (go to Eiyo Nutrition for more details). Omega 3s are found in foods like flax seeds, fish and fish oils, and the meat and fats of ruminant animals (meaning: animals that are meant to eat grass and DO eat grass).
If you're going to increase your Omega 3 intake (and nearly everyone should), get most of them from fish, fish oil, and grass-fed meats (this includes butter from grass-fed cows). Flax oil is less beneficial. If you are planning to get rid of the unwanted fat in your body, you can always opt for the plant protein sources which are abundantly available in nature.
Here's the bad word of the last few years, right? Trans fats. Evil stuff. Avoid.
For the most part, yes. But what people don't know is that there are natural and unnatural trans fats (NTF and ATF, respectively).
Along the NTF line, CLA (Conjugated Linoleic Acid) is a beneficial nutrient, often cited in fat-loss studies. It's a good thing to have enough of, but if you're eating enough saturated fats, you're getting enough CLA. Additional supplementation is probably not necessary. If ever you also need some oral treatments, we recommend our orthodontist The Woodlands.
As for ATFs (trans fats of the artificial variety), there is no reason to eat them, ever. Avoid with extreme prejudice. Every negative thing you've heard about them is true.
Up next week: understanding proteins.

The Top 10 Shortages Of 2022 Based On Google Searches
There's have been shortages of Children's Tylenol and other medications due to the "tripledemic" … [+] wave of COVID-19, influenza, and RSV infections. But did this shortage make Google's trending for 2022 list? (Photo by Fatih Aktas/Anadolu Agency via Getty Images)
Anadolu Agency via Getty Images
There's certainly been no shortage of shortages in 2022. In fact, there have been so many shortages that Google's "Year in Search 2022" web page includes a special "Shortages" category. This category consists of the Top 10 types of shortages that people have been searching for on Google throughout 2022.
Now, this wasn't a list of the shortages that were necessarily the most severe or had the most impact. Rather, it was only the ones that were searched for the most on Google. Keep in mind that there may have been multiple reasons why someone might have used the word "shortage" combined with the name of a product like "avocado" or "diesel" in a Google search. For example, one may have searched for "an avocado shortage would be terrible" or "there seemed to be a Vin Diesel shortage in this movie." It's not clear whether Google included or weeded out such less relevant searches when compiling this Top 10 list. Nevertheless, here are the Top 10 shortages based on what's been trending on Google over this current but soon to be concluded year:
1. Diesel shortage
Presumably most of the searches here were for diesel fuel shortages. If you are facing a Vin Diesel shortage, you can always order one of his Fast and Furious movies where the actor played the character Dominic Toretto. By contrast, it's not as easy to compensate for shortages of diesel fuel. This fuel is needed for many truck, train, boat, barge, public bus, school bus, tank, electric generator, farm equipment, construction equipment, and back-up power generator engines in the United States. Diesel has the advantage of being less likely to stall engines, less flammable, and less explosive than other types of fuels. Typically, when given the choice between fuel that's more explosive and fuel that's less explosive, it's a good idea to choose the latter. The shortage has led to, surprise, surprise, higher prices, even going up to a record-high average price of $5.703 a gallon in June. The shortage and elevated prices will likely continue into 2023.
2. Baby formula shortage
Oh, baby, baby. This shortage is still going on as well as the U.S. hasn't yet come up with the right formula to solve this problem. I covered this shortage for Forbes on May 15 when actress and singer Bette Midler tweeted "Try breastfeeding, it's free," and then again on May 21 when news emerged that people were sharing breast milk as a result of the lack of baby formula. Neither Midler's tweet not sharing breast milk was the best of ideas. Baby formula is needed for many women who can't breast feed or can't provide enough breast milk. And simply swapping breast milk could end up swapping unwanted microbes.
3. Tampon shortage
News of this shortage seemed to last for a period in June, which is when I covered this tampon shortage for Forbes. But then soon after that month the flow of such news seemed to tail off, making it unclear whether the shortage has actually been resolved or whether there has since been a shortage of coverage on this shortage. Procter & Gamble (P&G), the makers of Tampax tampons, essentially blamed comedian Amy Schumer's advertisements for Tampax for the tampon shortage. They said that the ads caused a surge in demand that outpaced P&G's supplies. Hmm, do people usually think, "Wow, what a great advertisement. I think I am now going to buy twice as many tampons as I normally do?" Meanwhile, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) suggested that somehow the border and tampons being put in some men's bathrooms were to blame for the shortage. More obvious reasons for the tampon shortage were shortages in raw materials like cotton, rayon, and plastic, manufacturing personnel, and manufacturing capacity.
4. Adderall shortage
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced this shortage on October 12. So the Adderall shortage has only had everyone's attention for less than three months so far. This medication is actually a combination of two medications amphetamine and dextroamphetamine and typically used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It can also be used to treat narcolepsy, which is a sleeping disorder in which you can spontaneously fall asleep throughout the day. ADHD specialists have raised concerns that stimulants such as Adderall are being overprescribed, as Rolfe Winkler reported for the Wall Street Journal on September 1, 2022. So, it's not clear what percentage of people currently taking Adderall actually really needs to be on the medication.
5. Sriracha shortage
On April 19, Huy Fong Foods, which makes the hot sauce Sriracha, announced that they would have to have to get less saucy and put production on hold over the next few months as a result of "severe weather conditions affecting the quality of chili peppers." And chili peppers along with distilled vinegar, garlic, sugar, and salt are the major ingredients of Sriracha. That may have led to scenes such as the following with folks hoarding Sriracha as if it were toilet paper:
Of course, the photo above could have been a typical haul for someone who just really, really likes Sriracha.
6. Food shortage
OK, this one was pretty non-specific. In addition to the ones that made this Top 10 list, a variety of other food items were in short supply at some point during 2022. This included butter, milk, hummus, mustard, and Halloween candy. In fact, it's hard to find month in 2022 when no food shortages were occurring.
7. Cream cheese shortage
This shortage was already present in 2021 and spread into the beginning of 2022 sort of like, well, cream cheese on a bagel. However, there hasn't been too much news of late about this. By the way, if you Google "Does cream cheese go with everything," you get an answer that says, "Cream cheese goes with pretty much anything, whether its spicy, sour, sweet, salty, or umami. ANYTHING. There is literally no taste sensation that goes badly with cream cheese."
8. Avocado shortage
At times in 2022, avocados have seemingly been between a guac and a hard place. For example, in February, the U.S. instituted a ban on Mexican avocado importation after a U.S. inspector of avocado farms in Mexico was threatened while in Michoacan, Mexico. While that ban ended being short-lived, it showed that the Mexico-U.S. avocado supply chain wasn't exactly super stable. Meanwhile, California farms haven't been producing as many avocados due to climate change, which leaves the domestic supply more tenuous.
9. Lettuce shortage
In late November, members of the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service reported on the website Growing Produce that unseasonably high temperatures and crop disease in Central California had resulted in "severe losses to iceberg and romaine varieties" of lettuce. Thus, they "lettuce" know that shortages may be just around the corner. Since then prices of those lettuces have indeed risen, and there have been anecdotal reports of shortages such as the following:
Did Chris Evans, who's not the one who played Captain America, end up being able to make his damn chicken Caesar salad? Inquiring minds want to know.
10. Epidural shortage
News of the epidural shortage were injected into headlines during the Summer of 2022. An epidural is an injection via a catheter of either an anesthetic agent or a steroid into a person's epidural space, the space in the body surrounding the spinal nerves. Such an injection can either reduce pain or remove feeling in the lower part of your body, depending on what medications are used. This procedure is frequently done prior to childbirth or a range of different surgical procedures. Now, the epidural shortage was actually a shortage in the catheters used and not the space. It's not as if people were running around missing the epidural spaces in their bodies.
That's quite a list. If in 2022 you had planned a cream cheese, avocado, Sriracha, lettuce, tampon, epidural, and general food party powered by some diesel, chances are you had a tougher time getting at least one of these products. All of these shortages plus the ones that weren't included in this Top 10 list really highlight what has clearly been a major problem from the U.S.: so many of our supply chains are way too vulnerable. It seems like it doesn't take much to cause a shortage. So unless some major changes are made, expect the "Shortages" category to appear once again in Google's "Year in Search 2023" web page.

Fox News Talker Unfazed By TrumpCare Death Toll: 'We're All Going To Die Anyway'
Kennedy Montgomery strikes just the right nihilist tone here.
By Karoli Kuns — June 28, 2017
On Fox News, the kids are definitely not all right, as Lisa "Kennedy" Montgomery demonstrated on their Fox News Specialists show earlier today. (What, exactly, are they specialists on, by the way? Do we know? Or is that just a catchy term for right-wing propagandists?)
Eric Bolling kicked off the fun by pooh-poohing Bernie Sanders' correct claim that thousands will die under the Senate version of Trumpcare.
To which young Kennedy Montgomery shrugged, informing the audience that "we're all going to die."
"And they can't predict -- there's no way unless they are absolutely psychic and have a party line to heaven, they don't know who's going to die or when or how many people," she assured Fox viewers.
Well, you know what? We actually DO have a way to scientifically estimate that number, which is what Bernie based his assertion on. It's not really all that tough.
And yes, we're all going to die. But speaking for me and mine, I'd like that to be the consequence of an actual fatal event, and not an easily preventable one if only we'd had access to treatment. Is that fair?

TALL TALES: ASTEROIDS, SPACE JUNK AND OUTER SPACE
In the end times, the world loves to tell stories about a place called OUTER SPACE.
Although many of these stories do not agree with other stories told by science about OUTER SPACE, those who tell the stories must feel that the public (who is the target for these stories) doesn't really pay too close attention to what they're being told.
And the storytellers would be right: the public DOES NOT pay very close attention.
In fact, IF the reader was interested, had 15 or 20 minutes and access to a good library with plenty of books, the reader could find more than one hole in these stories. But, as stated, the public is busy–and the public is only paying a little attention to them as they are being told by the media.
One of the stories has to do with asteroids, those supposedly big chunks of space rock which have started menacing earth over the past 24 or 25 years.
The reason for the asteroid stories?
To frighten the population. After all, a scared herd of people is much easier to control.
HOW to tell if an asteroid is going to kill you
NASA asteroid tracker: A 390FT asteroid will skim the Earth today at more than 18,800MPH
HOW NASA MAY SOON FIND HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF ASTEROIDS AND COMETS HEADING FOR EARTH
Nukes Could Stop Asteroids—but Laws May Get in the Way
So, the threat of an asteroid slamming into the earth and killing many humans is a story that is told nearly every day by the Corporate Media or science.
With the claimed threat to earth by all of the asteroids, those who control the governments of man want to create more of an infrastructure to deal with the space rocks. This means more gadgets, more organizations, more money and more resources all dedicated to saving the planet from asteroids.

"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary."
Space junk is a relatively new story.
It's about the large amount of rockets and satellites which are supposedly launched into outer space. THEN, these man-made objects fall apart and then float around (or fall to earth OR float around for awhile THEN fall to earth).
Rensselaer Team Developing Tool to Battle Space Debris
Rocket Stage Launched 10 Years Ago Disintegrates into Trail of Space Junk (Video)
What is space junk and why is it a problem?
Meet the Scientist Planning to Blast Space Junk out of Orbit With Lasers
Since the story of space junk is relatively a new story, there is a LOT of flexibility in where this story is headed. That makes it convenient for those who tell these stories.
Space junk is a story which is regularly repeated–as ALL propaganda must be–in the media. Expect more emphasis to be put on so-called SOLUTIONS to space junk (which will almost certainly be used for other, more-earthly purposes).
Popular stories of outer space began with science fiction about planets, space travel, alien life, alien invasions of earth and other test runs about one hundred-forty-five years ago. There were earlier stories of outer space and the wonders of the solar system–as described by very imaginative writers. Some of these stories date back almost four hundred years. More than a few had occult roots, figures and themes running through them.
ALL set the stage for the modern world fascination and steady supply of stories about outer space.
In the time in which we now live, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the prime storyteller about all things space-related.
Why are so many stories being concocted about outer space and threats from outer space?
Those who control the world are clearly concerned about a threat from above. BUT that threat does NOT have anything to do with aliens.

BORN AGAIN: A TRANSFORMED LIFE
"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
–2CORINTHIANS 5:17
One of the most popular topics in the churches might be discussions about the "new birth through Jesus Christ."
Born again.
"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
A new birth: a Spirit-based birth–as opposed to the physical birth which brings a soul into this world.
"Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever."
–1PETER 1:23
The transformed life of a believer.
"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
So many claim to be born again, but it is fairly obvious that these people do NOT live a transformed life. There is NO evidence of their being reborn spiritually into the kingdom of heaven. There is NO proof that they even know what being re-born spiritually means.
Which is why so many who congregate in the churches live lives they THINK are Christian lives. BUT then, they say and do things which prove they are still of this world.
Quite a few things could be written about the transformed life, but the scope of this piece is cover only a few.
1- The present world is not very important, other than for the believer to do the tasks commanded by Jesus Christ and God's Word.
And so, this world and the things of this world become very unimportant. One way to tell counterfeit Christians who claim to be born again: they claim to be born again spiritually, but their focus is on this world and the things of this world. The world and the things of the world are what they find important. It is what they talk about. It is the focus of their lives.

2- Those who have been born again enjoy the peace of God almost immediately.
The man who is reborn spiritually through Jesus Christ will almost immediately notice a total and encompassing peace. Sleep come easily and naturally. Sleep is restful and as long as is needed. Time not spent sleeping is time useful for the tasks commanded by God's Word.
This peace is effective.
This peace is sudden.
This peace is complete.
"And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
3- The new believer will notice that many bad behaviors immediately cease.
There is no "willpower" needed. It is like someone else is doing it all for you.
And someone else IS doing it for the believer: God's Holy Spirit.
4- There is a change in the way one regards God's Word.
"For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven."
There are many who CLAIM to believe the Bible.
There are few who actually believe it.
When one is a heathen, one SAYS he believes the Bible–especially around others of a like mind.
It's just sort of the "thing to say."
But looking back, when one was a heathen, one did not REALLY believe the Bible. If science and the Bible disagreed, then one sided with science. If what one was taught in school and the Bible disagreed, then one sided with what was taught in school. If the latest publications and research disagreed with the Bible, then one believed the latest publications and research.
ONLY after being born again does a man get the whole perspective and TRULY believe the Bible.
This is the doing of the Holy Spirit, who will lead the believer into all truth–and God's Word is the only source of truth in today's deceptive world.
"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come."
5- Regardless of how often or seldom one consulted or studied God's Word previously, after being born again, one has a hunger to study and KNOW God's Word.
Within days, one will get a yearning to study and know God's Word. This desire to know the Bible is noticed as something new: it was NOT present before.
Within days, one will also get a desire to seek out others who are of a like mind. Naturally, new believers tend to gravitate towards one of the churches–until it becomes obvious that the churches are NOT of God.
These are a few of the visible results a man who has experienced the transformed life will experience.
There are other; many, many others.

"How can the reader know when the Corporate Media is lying to him (never mind the fact that the media is Satan's Mouthpiece and Satan is the father of lies)? One easy way to tell is the use of "Why" and "How" in the headlines of an article. When the reader sees "Why?" or "How?" in the headline–occasionally "What" is used–that which follows will be a fairy tale, a narrative, a bedtime story spun by the media for the benefit of the media's master. "Why" usually denotes an on-going narrative; "How" signifies a story line which explains past events. Not all narratives begin with "How" or "Why." However, the most in-your-face, over-the-top ones usually do. ALL political "news" is narrative.

SATAN'S FALSE PROPHETS AND THE END OF THE WORLD
Frequently incorrect doomsday predictor says the Rapture will take place today
"But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only."
Doomsday timeline: Dates when 'experts' have said the world was supposed to end
The 'End of the World' Is Today. Here's Why We're Still Here. – The world enjoys concocting entertaining stories.
And men enjoy digesting them fully.
Wait For It…The First 'April 23rd Doomsday' Was Predicted in 1843
"And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after them, nor follow them."
Is the end of the world on April 23 and what is David Meade's conspiracy theory about the Rapture? – Obviously, the media (and science and education and…) are all just as informed as the false prophet, David Meade.
IF Meade was a Christian (as so many in the media allege), he would KNOW no man knows the day and hour.
Satan enjoys making up "end of the world" stories to rival the Bible's true account of what will take place.
Readers who desire the real deal will consult Revelation 1-22.
But readers should be advised: only those who have the Holy Spirit dwelling inside of them can understand God's Word.
This utter lack of the Spirit-mandatory key is the main reason the media, false prophets and TV preachers are largely clueless about the future.
Especially where the Bible is concerned.
FREE RANGE PARENTING
"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"
The Corporate Media (Satan's Mouthpiece) has been beating the drums for "free-range parenting."

Utah Passes 'Free-Range' Parenting Law

"Free-range parenting" is not new.
The Village turns against free-range parenting – What is today termed "free range parenting" was not unknown 50 years ago.
However at that time, its practitioners–because they let their kids roam to be admonished and taken care of by the other, more attentive parents–were simply known as "bad parents."
THE ILLUSION OF CHOICE
POLL: Rubio jumps to lead of GOP pack
POLL: Rubio leads GOP field – This is the time of the political season when the Corporate Media labors long and hard to convince readers that also-ran's and never-were's are serious heavyweight political (presidential) contenders.
This is done in order to fool readers into believing that they are being given a choice.
We'll see where Rubio ends up.
POWER GRID BLACKOUTS
America's Power Grid at the Limit: The Road to Blackouts – This meme is gathering steam in the Media.
Well, the USA has purposely mothballed dozens of perfectly-good power plants (with most of them going off-line in the coming months), with nothing to replace them. So there IS going to be a shortage of power in the USA.
Very soon.
(Of course, the USA does not have the industry it once had, so there will NOT be nearly as much power needed as it required in years gone by.)
This power grid, limit, blah-blah-blah is a narrative so that when the lights go out, the natives will have a reason for it.

They never run out of reasons.

Columbia And The Problem Of Dr. Oz
There have always been hucksters selling false hope to desperate people. It's an American tradition. But Oz is different precisely because he is so smart, well trained, and influential. How are we to react, then, when he offers his show as a platform for Theresa Caputo, a medium who says she can link us with the dead, or Jeffrey Smith, a former yoga instructor whom Oz considers an expert on genetically modified products?
Yet there are those who swear by Dr Oz and insist any criticism is a raw deal for the supposedly-courageous Doc Oz.

DA a party of deceit, lies and its days are numbered – Rasool
DURBAN – Former Western Cape premier Ebrahim Rasool said on Wednesday that the DA had plummeted to new levels of desperation in its campaign to hold on to the province.
Rasool – who is the ANC head of elections for the province – said that despite this, the governing party was "confident" of ousting the DA controlled province from power.
Outgoing premier, Helen Zille, was sailing close to treason by suggesting a tax boycott and should be investigated for her utterances, Rasool said.
"We call on her to withdraw this irresponsible statement and rather unite in action to grow South Africa. We also call on business leaders and workers to repudiate her statement,'' Rasool said in a statement.
"Not even an election is worth the devastating consequences of her statement. We call on her party leader Mmusi Maimane to come out and tell us where he stands on these calls. Does he support a tax boycott or not? We want to know."
In the past few days, said Rasool, DA has gone on a negative campaign drive in which it has tried to convince voters to keep the ANC and another political party out of the Western Cape. The other party, known for its racist rhetoric, is the DA's coalition party in Metros such as Johannesburg and Thswane.
Their support is what keeps the DA in power there. Yet in the Western Cape, the DA wants to keep this party out.
"We are appalled by the DA's messaging. In stead of giving vent to to their negative campaigning, the DA should find examples of their governance successes in the Western Cape," Rasool said.
He said the in the Western Cape the DA returned unspent housing budgets, messed up water management, imploded the thriving economy that they had inherited from the ANC and also oversaw a drop in the matric pass rate.
"So when your cupboard is bare, reach for that tried and tested DA vote-catcher: swartgevaar tactics. But that's not all. Helen Zille has reached new levels of trying to sabotage our economy by publicly mooting a tax strike.
"While our president is at the World Economic Forum in Davos rallying support for our country and trying to encourage investment that will create more jobs, she makes her irresponsible statements. This is as close to treason as one can get."
Rasool said: "The DA is a party of deceit and lies and its days are numbered. This weekend we will register thousands of voters who believe in the ANC and the message of a new dawn, change, unity, non-racialism and a South Africa that belongs to all who live in it as enunciated by our president Cyril Ramaphosa."

Is Orlando expensive? How much do I need to save to be able to book a trip to Disney World? How much am I going to spend?
The simple answer, Orlando is expensive if you want the full 'Orlando Experience'. Here is a breakdown of costs and typical prices, so you can plan your trip and make the most out of your time and money!
Some people may opt for a villa, some may choose a Disney resort or one of the chain resorts in the area whilst others may search for a boutique hotel. Here are a few options for all budgets – including prices!
Villa – If you are looking to rent a villa during your stay, you can make some big savings by booking in advance. Homeaway.com is a good option for first time renters, you can find condo's to rent for as little as $50 or even villas with a private pool from $100.
5 star luxury – Couples looking to splash the cash on an exclusive resort should check out Villas of Grand Cypress with rooms starting at $225 a night. The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes is also a great choice but quite a bit pricier at $490 a night.
Resorts – In a popular area in the Celebration neighbourhood, you can book rooms at Magic Village Resort Orlando Near Disney for around $200 a night or Universal's Lowes Sapphire Falls Resort for a similar price; plus the latter allows for earlier entry into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. If you are looking for the Disney experience then you can book the for Disney's Art of Animation Resort for $165 for a standard room or if you want to splurge, look at the Disney's Polynesian Village Resort for rooms around $400+.
Moderately priced Luxury – If you are looking for luxury but don't want to spend a fortune, Orlando have some great options for all types of visitors; particularly rooms around or under $100. The Comfort Suites Maingate East starts at $110, The Point Hotel and Suites cost $101 and the Holiday Inn on International Drive can be as little as $90.
Cheap and cheerful – With the cost of theme parks and food, it may be worth saving on accommodation whilst in Orlando. Comfort Inn & Suites Convention Center, Baymont Inn & Suites Orlando Universal Blvd and Ramada Kissimmee Gateway all cost $60 or under.
Orlando is a great holiday destination for fussy eaters and/or families. There is a wide variety of restaurants but also many supermarkets – many resorts include a kitchen or at least a kitchenette for you to prepare food at home.
Fine Dining – Victoria and Albert's is praised for being a 'once in a lifetime experience' kind of experience. Reserve a table well in advance and expect to pay upwards of $250 per person.
Fun Dining – Orlando certainly isn't short of its themed restaurants; head to B-Line Diner to choose your own backdrop, with breakfasts starting at $10. You can also step in T-REX in Disney Springs for around $20 or pay a little more for lunch in one of the many themed restaurants within the parks themselves – The Leaky Cauldron is a firm favourite of mine.
Pricey but worth it – The Bull & Bear Steakhouse at Waldorf Astoria offers delicious food from around $30 or check out the Ethos Vegan Kitchen for Vegan options under $10.
Cheap eats – Q'Kenan serves up South American dishes for under $10, The Gnarly Barley does the same but with massive, yummy sandwiches and the Blaze Pizza offers completely personalised pizzas for just $10 AND it is Disney Springs!
Dessert lovers – There is always a place for dessert on my budget plans. The Chocolate Emporium at Universal is amazing but a little expensive with Sundaes starting at $10+. For fruity pops, head to The Pop Parlour at $3.50 a pop or for as little as $2, head to P is for the Pie Bake Shop for AMAZING pies.
Can we take a minute to appreciate how cute this key lime pie milkshake is.
Orlando isn't a walkable place to stay. To be honest, if you are staying for more than a handful of days, the best advise I can give you is to rent a car.
Car Rental – Prices vary but you can get a comfortable car for around $45 a day. Note that it costs $20 to park at any Disney theme park or Universal Studios for a day.
Taxi's – A taxi from Disney Springs to Universal Studios costs just under $40 and takes around 30 minutes; around $2.50 per mile. We use TaxiFareFinder to get a fairly accurate estimation.
Shuttle Buses – Most resorts will offer some type of shuttle bus to and from the theme parks. Take advantage of these, they are normally free. You can find a list of these hotels here.
Public buses – Buses are available around Orlando and cost $2 per ride. A 7 day pass is available for $16.
Yeah this is the expensive part…brace yourself.
The prices can vary slightly depending on where you purchasing your ticket.
Also, if you are planning a trip, check out our mini guide to Orlando and read our tips for surviving the parks and our guide to International Drive.
I live in Miami so I love visiting once in a while just to do something different. Very helpful guide!
I've always wanted to do a full Orlando vacation- staying at one of the Disney resorts and hitting up all the attractions,,,, BUT looks like I better start saving now! lol. Thanks for the info, great to know you can get villas with a pool for a fairly cheap price.
Oh my goodness! Those prices are … um.. hocus pocus, Disney! Are they all different places, or does the 2-day ticket cover some of the spots below too?
Great post! The ticket prices are CRAZY! I went cheap and cheerful and stayed at the Travelodge (I think) that's almost opposite the Universal Studios gate, it meant that we could just walk to the park and then they had a free shuttle to Disney. We also walked and ate at Golden Corral, it is possible to do on a budget!

FCC Puts Comcast and Time Warner Merger On Hold
An anonymous reader writes "In a public letter to both Time Warner and Comcast, the FCC said they are putting a hold on the merger deal between the two companies. Citing inadequate responses by both cable companies to earlier FCC requests for additional information, the agency is stopping the clock on its 180-day review period until late October. Comcast and Time Warner together control most of the Internet services in the country. However, the companies said they are in different regions and are not going to suppress the competition.

t feature a lot of female artists. It's safe to
here's no denying that we here at Spindle
we like a woman who can get down with a guitar or on synth, or who generally has a good set of lungs on her. We also like people who send us jam. Rarely these two fancies of ours converge; not many of these talented women folk send us jam. And that's ok. We don't expect them to. But Lucy Rose did. It's ginger and rhubarb; she made it. So ta, Lucy. Husky voiced ingénue Lucy Rose has been mentioned in the same breath as everyone from Florence Welch to Laura Marling. Jack Steadman too, but for different reasons. The singer songwriter was first thrust into our attention when Bombay Bicycle Club chose her to provide the female vocals on their new album and join them on tour. "They're all really nice boys and very supportive of my own music." Ever since she's been working the London circuit and hitting a few of the major festivals, busily establishing herself on her own terms
for her indie folk music that hints at many different influences yet refuses to conform to one specific sound; it's all kinds of kooky and mysterious in ways that even she doesn't quite understand. "It's definitely still very acoustic based, but with additions. I find it really hard to describe my own music, or understand what it is." Accompanying it are the devastatingly candid and expressive lyrics through which Rose airs all, refusing to shy away from even the most personal subjects. "I like to be honest and truthful with lyrics. I find it almost impossible to write anything unless I've experienced it. But of course there are some things I wouldn't explore, but not because of people hearing my thoughts, but more because I won't want to explore those subjects myself." With her first releases solidify her unfailingly loyal and ever burgeoning fan base, of which Edith Bowman, John Kennedy and Mumford and Sons are just a few, we're only just getting a taste of what's to come. So what is exactly in store for the singer songwriter? "I don't like to plan too far in advanced." This girl will steal your heart

August Leopold Crelle (1780-1855)
On March 11, 1780, German mathematician and civil engineer August Leopold Crelle was born. Crelle is best known for being the founder of Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik (also known as Crelle's Journal). He also worked on the construction and planning of roads and the first railway in Germany, which was completed in 1838.
"The real purpose of mathematics is to be the means to illuminate reason and to exercise spiritual forces."
– August Leopold Crelle
Education and Civil Service Career
August Crelle was born in Eichwerder near Wriezen, Prussia, today on the eastern border of Germany to Poland. His father Christian Gottfried Crelle was an impoverished dike reeve and master builder, who had little in the way of income to be able to give his son a good education. Crelle was therefore largely self-taught, studying civil engineering. Had his family had the resources, then Crelle would have studied mathematics at university. He always had a love of mathematics but earning money was a necessity for him. He succeeded to secure a job as a civil engineer in the service of the Prussian Government and worked for the Prussian Ministry of the Interior on the construction and planning of roads and the one of the first railways in Germany (completed in 1838) between Berlin and Potsdam.[1] He finally obtained the rank of Geheimer Oberbaurat and was made a member of the Oberbaudirektion, under the Prussian Ministry of the Interior.[3]
Mathematical Selfstudies
He spent a great deal of time working on mathematics and achieved a remarkable level considering that he had never been formally taught, and when he was 36 years old he submitted a thesis De calculi variabilium in geometria et arte mechanica usu to the University of Heidelberg and was duly awarded a doctorate.[1] That same year in a little book Über einiger Eigenschaften des ebenen geradlinigen Dreiecks (On Some Properties of Plane Rectilinear Triangles), Crelle demonstrated how to determine a point in the interior of a triangle such that the lines joining this point to the vertices of the triangle and the sides of the triangle make equal angles.[4]
The Journal for Pure and Applied Mathematics
Crelle founded a journal devoted entirely to mathematics Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik (Journal for Pure and Applied Mathematics) in 1826, which is often referred to as Crelle's Journal and which he edited until his death. Although not the first such journal, that honor goes to the Annales de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées, founded by Joseph-Diaz Gergonne in 1810, which lasted until 1831. However, Crelle's was the first periodical devoted exclusively to mathematical research.[4] It was organised quite differently from journals that existed at that time since these other journals were basically reporting meetings of Academies and Learned Societies where papers were read. Crelle was very much in control of the journal, and he acted as editor-in-chief for the first 52 volumes.[1] His journal introduced the work of many new young mathematicians and promoted mathematics instruction. Mathematicians such as Dirichlet, Eisenstein, Grassmann, Hesse, Jacobi, Kummer, Lobachevsky, Möbius, Plücker, von Staudt, Steiner, and Weierstrass all had their early works made famous by publication in Crelle's journal.[4]
Mentoring Abel and Steiner
Crelle had the strong ability to spot exceptional talent in young mathematicians. He realised the importance of Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel's work and published several articles by him in this first volume, including his proof of the insolubility of the quintic equation by radicals.[5] Without Crelle, Abel would have remained unknown to the world due to his early death with only 26 years. But Abel was only one of many young mathematicians who benefited from acquaintance with the mathematical enthusiast of limited ability. Crelle also mentored the self-taught Swiss mathematical genius Jakob Steiner, often called "the greatest geometer since Apollonius." [4]
Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik 1826
Mathematical Teaching
In 1828 Crelle transferred from the Ministry of the Interior to the Ministry of Education, where he was employed as advisor on mathematics, particularly on the teaching of mathematics in high schools, technical high schools, and teachers colleges. During the summer of 1830, on an official tour to France, he studied the French methods of teaching mathematics. In his report to the ministry Crelle praised the organization of mathematical education in France but criticized the heavy emphasis on applied mathematics. In line with the neo-humanistic ideals then current in Germany, he maintained that the true purpose of mathematical teaching lies in the enlightenment of the human mind and the development of rational thinking.[3]
However, he became keen to bring the model of the École Polytechnique to Germany for this was the French route to train high quality teachers. One of the outcomes of his involvement with teaching of mathematics in schools was that he published a large number of textbooks and published multiplication tables that went through many editions. Crelle was elected to the Berlin Academy in 1827 with the strong support of Alexander von Humboldt.[9] Crelle wrote many mathematical and technical papers, textbooks, and mathematical tables and translated works by Lagrange and Legendre. Except for his Rechentafeln, these are now mostly forgotten. Also, for many years he published Journal für die Baukunst. Although beginning in the 1830's his health declined until he was hardly able to walk, Crelle continued to further the course of mathematics, even at great personal sacrifice.[3]
