Las Vegas Expert Picks: UFC Hat Trick

Vegas veteran Benjamin Eckstein, author of America's Line, brings three decades of experience to make weekly picks in his "Ecks & Bacon" column.
LAS VEGAS — Some of you might remember hockey. Yeah, it's been a while, but taking a hockey term and folding it over to the UFC. Here's your winning hat trick for tomorrow's UFC card from Vegas.
Aljamain Sterling vs Cory Sandhagen Pick
Starting with the Aljamain (Funk Master) Sterling vs Cory (The Sandman) Sandhagen. Funk Master, a name I LOVE, is -115 or -120 depending on where you shop, while The Sandman is basically EVEN money.
Before we get to the geeky stats, I have a YUGE problem with Sandhagen calling himself The Sandman. As we ALL know, and anyone who follows baseball knows, there is ONLY one Sandman, and that's the GREAT, the FABULOUS, the HISTORIC Mariano Rivera. So, YO Cory, PLZ change the nickname IMMEDIATELY, or face the WRATH of Yankee fans around the globe.
OK, now that I've calmed down, let's go to the tale of the tape. Aljamain is 30 years old from Uniondale, New York. He tips the scale at a buck 35, is five-foot-seven and has a 71-inch reach. His MMA record is serious at 18-3, with only two wins coming by KO, nine by decision and seven by submission. The Funk Master, I smile every time, rolls in on a 4-0 run but hasn't fought in almost a year. But he grew up with seven full siblings and at least 12 half-siblings, so he knows how to rumble, and is a black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Sandhagen is 28 years old from Aurora, Colorado, tips the scale at a buck 35, is five-foot-11 and also has a 71-inch reach. His MMA record is gorgeous at 12-1, with four wins coming by KO, five by decision and three by submission. The Sandman, actually, we're gonna call him Sandy, comes to the party with a 7-0 PERFECTO in his gym bag and hasn't lost in almost three years. Despite my problems with his nickname, can't really shoot any poison arrows his way, because he works part time at a trauma center for children.
Should be a very close fight but gonna tip my toe in the Sand.
Cody Garbrandt vs Raphael Assuncao Pick
Next up it's Cody (No Love) Garbrandt vs Raphael (sadly has no nickname) Assuncao. No Love is a medium-size favorite at -145, with NO Nickname at +125.
Wouldn't be allowed to publish this if I didn't rock the tale of the tape. Mrs. Ecks & Bacon is looking over my shoulder, so here we go.
Garbrandt is 28 years old from Uhrichsville, Ohio. He tips the scale at a buck 36, is 5-8 and has a 65.5-inch reach. His MMA record is 11-3, with nine wins coming by KO and two by decision. However, plz note that his 11 wins came at the start of his career, and he has not won a fight (three straight losses) since December of 2016. And all three losses came by KO, TKO and TKO. OUCH!
Assuncao is 37 years old, 38 in another month, from Recife, Brazil. He hits the scale at a buck 35, is 5-5-ish and has a 66.5-inch reach. His MMA record is 24-7, with just four wins coming by KO, 13 by decision and 10 by submission. Raphael comes in on a downward slide as well, losing his last two fights, and has not been inside the Octagon in almost a year.
No Love Garbrandt couldn't find love after dropping out of college. According to his Wiki page, he sold weed, worked as a bouncer and eventually completed coal miner training in order to work in the field familiar to his family. His early struggles gave him a ton of confidence, as you can tell by this quote: "When I'm on, no one in the world can beat me. I know that my life is good, it's in order and I can let that savagery out in the Octagon." OK, Cody, I ain't gonna block your path, baby.
Throwin' some love and a handful of chips at No Love.
Amanda Nunes vs Felicia Spencer Pick
Say hello to the ladies, and what, according to the oddsmakers, is the biggest mismatch of the evening. It's Amanda (The Lioness) Nunes vs Felicia (Feenom) Spencer. Nunes is mostly around -650 with the take-back on Spencer around +425. If you are looking to bet the underdog, we have seen her as high as +500.
The Lioness is 32 years old from Pojuca, Bahia, Brazil. She tips the scale at a buck 45, is 5-8 and has a 69-inch reach. Her MMA record is 19-4, with 13 wins coming by KO, three by decision and three by submission. However, you can forget about those four losses. She hasn't been on the wrong end of a fight since 2014, winning 10 in a row, beating down everyone in her way, and that's why she is considered the GREATEST women fighter in MMA history.
Feenom is 29 years old from Montreal, Canada. She hits the scale at a buck 44.5, is 5-6 and has a 68-inch reach. Her MMA record is 8-1, with just two wins coming by KO, two by decision and four by submission.
If we were handicapping by IQ, then Spencer, who teaches sixth-grade algebra, would be the choice. But nobody is asking Nunes to solve any equations. However, my kids asked me to help with this and solve for x...
3x+5x+4-x+7=88
If you can solve it, WITHOUT a calculator, send me your answer for x, and you will win absolutely NOTHING!
Not prepared to lay over $600 on the Lioness, but will drop my biggest pile of chips on Nunes to win in the first round by KO or TKO. BANG!!!

Wargaddud, NE Kenya, March 2006..A private tanker truck brings water into the village's cistern twice a week. More than 4 millions people are affected in the region by the worst drought in man's memory. The livestock is decimated and a whole lifestyle threatened.


1 Jun 18 The US state of Connecticut is to invest US$15m (£11m) as a first step to adapting a pier so that it can be used as a staging post for the seven offshore wind projects currently planned in the region.
The funding, which is subject to approval from the State Bond Commission, will include demolition of selected structures, site improvements, stormwater treatment and drainage improvements, upgrades to increase laydown capabilities, construction of a heavy lift pad, improvements to load bearing capacity and replacement of mooring dolphins.
Malloy also noted that with improvements to the pier, New London offers the offshore wind industry a number of competitive advantages over other northeastern ports, including: a strategic location in proximity to lease areas; a well-protected harbor with deep water access and a short transit to open sea; no height or width restrictions between the Port of New London and the open sea; and a workforce ready and able to get to work on behalf of a thriving wind industry.
"This strategic investment is a step toward unlocking New London's unique potential as a hub for the offshore wind industry," said New London Mayor Michael Passero. "Today's announcement is exciting economic news for our city as the redevelopment of the State Pier will spur growth in marine businesses and help revitalize the downtown.
In addition to the offshore wind industry, this project is intended to help spur the revitalization of the shipping industry and other marine businesses, as well as bring development to the downtown area.

Steyr Konzept With Hybrid Powertrain & Drone Is A Tractor Of The Future
Check out Steyr Konzept, a tractor concept which sports a hybrid powertrain, smart 4×4, and a linked drone
In 2019, Austria-based Steyr Tractor unveiled a futuristic concept tractor, simply christened 'Konzept'. It was quite a handsome vehicle, and in 2020, it won the Platinum Award in 2020 MUSE Design Awards Competition, under the category of Concept Design. This tractor, which is still in the concept stage, has a lot of interesting tech on board.
The Steyr Konzept has a modular electric hybrid drive, which consists of a 4.5-litre, inline-4 diesel engine, a generator, and five electric motors! The engine only powers the generator, which is connected to the centrally-mounted battery pack. The battery can also be charged from an electric outlet, and this hybrid drivetrain can even recover energy while slowing down or descending slopes.
Each of the four wheels gets an individual electric motor at the hub, which results in a highly efficient electric continuously variable drive. As each hub motor is individually controlled, this tractor has a smart 4WD system, which provides brilliant traction and precision steering, great for grassy fields and gravel roads.
The tractor has a low centre of gravity, and with 4-wheel-steering and individual wheel speed control, the turning circle is quite tight as well. Apart from great handling, the Steyr Konzept also offers good all-around visibility, with the help of the large greenhouse area and high cabin, along with integrated cameras.
This tractor is capable of running on pure electric mode, which keeps noise pollution down as well. For people with animals in their farms, this is quite a practical feature. Due to the lack of a mechanical gearbox, there are much fewer moving parts here, and therefore the mechanical losses are much lower. This makes the Steyr Konzept's hybrid powertrain much more efficient than that of a regular diesel tractor.
It also gets an electrically-driven PTO, along with 700 V and 48 V connections for other electrical implements. The most impressive feature, however, is the drone. With the Steyr Konzept, farmers also get a drone with a camera and crop sensors, which can be linked to the in-cabin display of the tractor and then used to survey the area from the sky.

Already, Scientists Without Borders boasts roughly 950 members from around the world. These are individuals, organizations and projects, each listed by office location, areas of expertise and the areas in which they work or are willing to work. The site also lists more than 1,200 individuals, organizations and projects that have specific needs.
The services and needs listed on the site vary greatly, covering all facets of agricultural, environmental and health-related projects. Just in the area of public health, for instance, many areas need counselors or translators to help educate communities about disease. Other areas need assistance fixing broken medical equipment or vehicles that will enable them to distribute health care. In many cases, research institutions and academies need the expertise of foreign scientists.
The SWB database continues to grow and getting involved is easy. All you have to do is visit the Web site, sign up for a free account and fill in all the relevant data about your expertise, what you can offer and the regions where you'd like to work or are willing to work. Likewise, signing up to take advantage of the global resources collected on the site is just as easy. Scientists Without Borders seeks to lay the world's scientific needs and resources out for all to see, allowing for a strategic deployment of humanity's scientific capital. As the project progresses, it will also catalog its success stories.
The globalization of science still faces many obstacles, however. For instance, the United States current visa and export regulations are rooted in 1950s policy, reportedly hampering the flow of foreign experts into the country while also limiting or barring scientific publication or exportation that could constitute a national security threat [source: Kaplan]. Critics charge that this and similar regulations pose a serious obstacle to the kind of positive scientific sharing that SWB represents.
Explore the links below to learn even more about Scientists Without Borders and many of the problems it seeks to solve.
Doctors and scientists aren't the only professions occasionally paired with the phrase "without borders." Among the other organizations aimed at helping people despite geographic, economic and political barriers are Teachers Without Borders, Engineers Without Borders, Mothers Without Borders, Lawyers Without Borders, Words Without Borders, Builders Without Borders, Reporters Without Borders, Sociologists Without Borders, Soccer Without Borders and even Clowns Without Borders.

Coalition for the energy of the future: 11 major international companies join forces to accelerate the energy transition in transport and logistics
• AWS, Carrefour Group, CMA CGM Group, Cluster Maritime Français, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Engie, Faurecia, Michelin, Schneider Electric, Total and Wärtsilä have formed an international coalition.
• Nine concrete projects for developing energy solutions to accelerate the energy transition in transport and logistics.
At the Rencontres Économiques d'Aix-en-Provence, an economic forum attended by many organizations from around the world, 11 international groups have announced they have joined forces to form an international coalition open to new members. AWS, Carrefour Group, CMA CGM Group, Cluster Maritime Français, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, Engie, Faurecia, Michelin, Schneider Electric, Total and Wärtsilä are the existing members.
Common goals for the energy transition in transport and logistics
The Coalition aims to accelerate the development of energy sources and technologies to address the challenges posed by sustainable mobility in the transport and logistics industry by reducing emissions, fighting global warming and protecting biodiversity.
The 11 existing members are pooling their expertise in pursuit of three key goals to achieve genuine technological breakthroughs with tangible results by 2030:
• Unlock a more extensive portfolio of clean energy sources,
• Lower energy consumption per kilometer-equivalent of goods transported,
• Eliminate a substantial proportion of emissions linked to transport and logistics.
Nine concrete projects devised by the nine working groups already set up
Over the past few months, the Coalition has established nine working groups with several dozen participants to devise nine concrete projects that will help shape the energy sources of the future:
• Develop green hydrogen procurement solutions for the transport sector,
• Develop biofuels for the various modes of transport,
• Expand the use of biogas and synthetic gases in transport,
• Replace fossil fuels with green energy across the supply chain,
• Launch zero-emission vehicle pilot projects by the end of 2021,
• Create a digital door-to-door route planning system that calculates the option with the lowest environmental impact,
• Optimize the operational management and loading to step up the energy efficiency of each ton carried,
• Make multimodal platforms more environmentally friendly for logistics applications,
• Consolidate methods used to measure the impact of energy transition projects in transport and logistics.
The Coalition was launched in late 2019 during the French Maritime Economy Conference (Assises de l'Economie de la Mer) and has received the backing of French President Emmanuel Macron.
The Coalition's initial findings will be officially presented in January 2021 at the IUCN World Conservation Congress.
Julien GROUES, Managing Director of AWS in France, said:
"At AWS, we are committed to running our business in the most environmentally friendly way possible, and we aim to achieve 100% renewable energy use across Amazon by 2025 on the path to net zero carbon by 2040. Beyond our own commitment, we are also convinced that the power of AWS is an asset for freight and logistics companies to accelerate research and innovation in renewable energy and make informed decisions based on the analysis of large data sets. We are delighted to put our technological expertise at the service of the coalition."
Alexandre BOMPARD, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Carrefour Group, added:
"The food transition for all, which has become Carrefour's "raison d'être", will not happen without an energy transition. We are a committed player and have set ambitious objectives to fight global warming, through the promotion of cleaner means of transportation, and through our aspiration to build a food distribution model that, from producer to end consumer, is environmentally friendly. We are taking actions within the Group; but the challenges are so immense, so complex, that they are necessarily collective. It is the aim of this coalition to take up these challenges, that meet the expectations of citizens and chart a new path for our societies."
Rodolphe SAADE, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the CMA CGM Group, stated:
"In view of the challenges facing the world, we must unite our strengths in order to accelerate the energy transition of the transport and logistics industry. I am delighted that 11 global corporations, leaders in their respective fields, have joined this initiative. CMA CGM will provide all its expertise and experience to this first large global multisectoral coalition, supported by the President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron. We are all fully mobilized to produce concrete short, medium-and-long-term solutions."
Frédéric MONCANY DE SAINT-AIGNAN, President of Cluster Maritime Français, said:
"Gathering more than 430 companies, the French Maritime Cluster brings the expertise of the entire French maritime ecosystem to the "coalition for tomorrow's energy". Similarly, in partnership with the ADEME (French State Agency for Environment and Energy), with major maritime companies (first and foremost CMA CGM) and with all the members of the French Maritime Cluster, we are building up a "Vision for 2050 of the maritime industry ecological and energy transition", in order to identify and create the necessary inclusive dynamics to help companies and regions in the required economic, technological and regulatory ruptures."
Jacques RIPOLL, Chief Executive Officer of Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, declared:
"Global action is urgently needed to address the climate challenges our planet is facing. The transport sector and all players involved in its value chain have a key role to play to lead a technological and ecological progress. As a global leader in transport finance, from ships to trains, Crédit Agricole CIB is very proud to support the Transport Coalition and the future generations to achieve a better and cleaner future."
Jean-Pierre CLAMADIEU, Chairman of the Board of Engie, commented:
"The economic recovery plans and both public and private investments they will generate will structure our economies for many years to come. It is therefore essential to seize this opportunity to accelerate the decarbonization of all industries, particularly transportation. The coalition we are launching today is proof that solutions are within reach if we work in a coordinated manner and across the entire value chain. Tomorrow, they will be an asset for our companies and for the economy as a whole."
Patrick KOLLER, Chief Executive Officer of Faurecia, added:
"The objectives of the Coalition reflect our convictions through our "CO2Neutral" project and our sustainable mobility strategy. We are particularly committed to reach carbon neutrality for our facilities by 2025 with a global program of savings and of decarbonated energy use. With strong expertise in hydrogen technology and materials, we will play our full part within the Coalition to make the energy transition for transport a reality. This will require new technological solutions, which will emerge more quickly through the creation of open ecosystems and knowledge sharing."
Florent MENEGAUX, President of the Michelin Group, stated:
"The Michelin teams are committed to making mobility more sustainable and working with all relevant partners, inside and outside the Movin'On ecosystem, to create and promote new solutions. By joining the Coalition for the energy of the future, the Group is taking another step in this direction. We want to seize this opportunity to share our experience and expertise, especially in hydrogen mobility, and accelerate the energy transition in transport."
Jean-Pascal TRICOIRE, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Schneider Electric, said:
"At Schneider Electric, our commitment is to be the partner of our customers in their journeys toward sustainability and become carbon positive ourselves. We are proud to be part of the Coalition for the energy of the future, contributing to the energy transition in transportation and logistics thanks to our expertise in energy and automation digital solutions."
Patrick POUYANNE, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Total, declared:
"Total shares the ambition to get to net-zero emissions by 2050, together with society, for its global business across its production and energy products used by its customers. By joining the Coalition for the energy of the future alongside major partners, we intend to support and accelerate the joint development of tangible energy solutions, therefore directly contributing to the reduction of carbon intensity of the transportation and logistics sectors."
Jaakko ESKOLA, President and Chief Executive Officer of Wärtsilä, commented:
"The shipping industry's transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy use is a movement in which we at Wärtsilä continue to play a leading role. Through the development of smart technologies, research into alternative future fuels, and our holistic approach to raising efficiencies in all aspects of shipping and port operations to create a Smart Marine Ecosystem, we have shown our commitment to promoting decarbonization. We are, therefore, proud to be part of this coalition which perfectly aligns with our purpose to enable sustainable societies with smart technology."

For twenty years he's tried to escape his past. Until now. Without knowing how to ask, he needs answers - from his uncle, who should have known. From his neighbours, who think his father a decent man who 'just snapped'. From the memories that haunt the wild landscape of the Hebrides. And from the silent ones who know more about what happened - and why - than they have ever dared admit. By turns gripping, beautiful, devastating and tender, Our Fathers is a story about violence and redemption, control and love. With understated compassion and humour, Rebecca Wait gives a voice to the silenced and to the silences between men of few words.

Sonar for Practising Engineers (Paperback, 3rd Edition)
A. D. Waite
The aims of the book - written by a practising engineer for practising engineers - are to provide an understanding of the basic principles of sonar and, to develop formulae and "rules of thumb" for sonar design and performance analysis. Ashley Waite uses his long experience in the design, trials and performance analysis of sonar systems to provide practical guidance and solutions to problems encountered by sonar engineers and technicians.
The books divides into the following parts:
Equipment parameters: the motion of sound in an elastic medium; definitions of sound intensity and source level; the use of projector arrays to increase the source level; the use of hydrophone arrays to improve the signal to noise ratio of a wanted sound.
The propagation of sound in the sea and the backgrounds to detection: spreading and absorption losses; propagation modes and simple modelling; noise and reverberation; the sonar equations
Practical sonar systems: passive and active sonar systems; passive broadband, narrowband, intercept and communications (as a special case of intercept) sonars; active sonars for the detection of submarines, mines and torpedoes.
Sonar for Practising Engineers, third edition, covers all aspects of sonar systems and has extensive worked examples. No prior knowledge of sonar is assumed and the physical principles and mathematics will be readily understood by engineers, technicians and students of underwater acoustics. New to this edition, are end-of-chapter exercises and solutions for self assessment and training.
Queer Asia - Decolonising and Reimagining Sexuality and Gender (Paperback)
Matthew Waites; Edited by Jennifer Ung Loh, J. Daniel Luther
Queer studies is now a rapidly expanding field, as scholars from a variety of disciplines seek to address the long-running marginalisation of queer perspectives and experiences. But there has so far been little effort to unify the study of queer communities outside the West, and much of the current writing views these communities through a narrowly Western lens. Building on the work of the annual Queer Asia conference, which the editors helped to establish, this collection represents the most comprehensive work to date on queer studies in an Asian context. Featuring case studies and original research from across the continent, covering the Middle East, South and East Asia, and Asian diasporas, the collection offers a genuinely pan-Asian perspective which places queer Asian identities and movements in dialogue with each other, rather than within a Western framework. By considering how queerness is imagined within plural Asian experiences and contexts, the contributors show a that re-envisioning of 'queer' through Asian perspectives has the potential to challenge existing discourses and debates in the wider field of contemporary gender, sexuality, and queer studies.

Before Canadian officials detained Wanzhou Meng on Dec. 1 over potential violations of U.S. sanctions on Iran, officials from the U.K., Germany and France were becoming increasingly wary of the telecom-equipment maker, according to people familiar with the matter.
Europe, where 5G networks will be rolled out starting next year, is a key battleground for Huawei as its largest market outside Asia, and where the company has spent more than a decade notching up contracts with the likes of Deutsche Telekom AG and Vodafone Group Plc.
In Britain, Huawei has come under increased government scrutiny since a cybersecurity oversight board said in July it could no longer guarantee the company's equipment does not compromise national security.
British carrier BT Group Plc has begun to remove Huawei gear from the core of the EE mobile network it acquired two years ago. And this week Huawei agreed to demands from British security officials to address risks in its software and equipment as it tries to avoid getting banned as a 5G supplier, a person familiar with the matter said on Friday.
The government is conducting a review into the resilience of its supply chains that could lead to recommendations affecting Huawei.
BT Group Plc is putting pressure on Huawei to address Britain's concerns, through its role on the board led by intelligence agency GCHQ which oversees the company's activities, according to telecom industry executives who spoke on condition on anonymity.

How to choose a reputable Houston locksmith isn't necessarily something Texas residents think a whole lot about… until they find themselves in a real pickle and in need of help fast. Nevertheless, it's important to know the ins and outs of making an informed decision even when it's an emergency. Many of us don't have a regular locksmith on speed dial or really know our stuff when it comes to the local options, so be sure to keep the following in mind.
The locksmith business is just like any other business, really. You've got your honest, reputable companies you can trust, but you've also got your fly-by-night wheelers and dealers as well. Don't let the need to enlist services quickly stop you from making sure you're dealing with a reliable service provider. Take a moment to ask your friends who they recommend or check the Better Business Bureau listings for the companies you're considering to gauge overall customer satisfaction.
The locksmith you choose should be bonded and insured. This way, should there be any damage to your property during the performance of the service, your service provider will have it covered so you aren't left holding the bag.
Make sure the company you choose employs only certified, trained locksmiths. As is the case with other services, training is everything. You don't just want to get the job done. You want to get it done right the first time.

Michael Hogan is the author of the new book Women of the Irish Rising: A People's History. His many other books include Abraham Lincoln and Mexico. He lives in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Q: What inspired you to write this book about women in the 1916 Rising in Ireland?
A: My grandparents on both sides were Irish and my paternal grandfather was very much involved in the independence movement and spoke often of the brave women who fought during that time.
When I took my teenage daughter on a tour of Ireland a few years ago, I observed that there were few references or monuments to the women who raised funds, smuggled weapons from abroad, saw service as sharpshooters and even as leaders of combat units.
When I began researching more seriously, I found that there the few books which mentioned the women, and those that did concentrated on their roles as nurses, couriers, and cooks.
Q: You write, "Reading the traditional accounts of the period, one would conclude that women played only a minor role in the Rising." Can you say more about women's roles?
A: They were instrumental. Not only did they help provide the rifles and ammunition which gave the British pause, but they also were very much present in combat situations, working as snipers, setting explosive charges, and one was even shot three times but survived to outwit the British after her capture and escape to the U.S.
On the gentler side, some were provisioners and nurses, and one, Kathleen Lynn, was a doctor who later founded a famous children's hospital in Dublin totally administered by women, which also provided the first TB vaccinations in Europe free to all children.
Q: How did you research the book, and did you learn anything that especially surprised you?
A: I read all the biographies of Irish women of that period that had been published, as well as British Army field reports, and the oral histories recorded by the Irish government in the 1940s from the survivors of the conflict.
Two things surprised me.
One was the fact that women from all ranks of society and economic status were involved, from members of the landed aristocracy to shop girls, as well as women all ages from teenage girls to mature matrons.
It was a clear example of intersectional feminism: no one was left behind. It also was amazing how intertwined the independence movement was with feminism itself.
The other surprise was that despite the dominance of male-centric culture, some farsighted men, most notably James Connolly, leader of the Irish Citizen Army, encouraged women to assume combat roles and gave them positions of responsibility. That was truly rare in that era.
Q: What do you hope readers take away from the book?
A: There are so many things. I wrote the book with a young audience in mind. As a former teacher I wanted the language and the narration to appeal to a wide range of readers, not just academics.
I also hope that the reader will see the interconnectedness of the participants in the Rising. All ages and walks of life, different sexual preferences, different faiths, Jewish, Catholic Protestant, even atheists, as well as socialist thinkers, union workers, teachers, and shop owners.
It was this unity in the midst of diversity which impressed me, and which turned the military defeat of the Rising into a political and social victory.
It reminded me of John Kennedy's comment. "Divided there is little we can do…united there is little we cannot do." I think that is an important message for our time.
A: I have created a Facebook page for the book Women of the Irish Rising, and I am doing a series of lectures and presentations.
The year 2022 marks the 200th anniversary of the foundation of the Mexican Republic and the 100th anniversary of Irish independence. So, I am involved in that.
Especially relevant is my landmark book The Irish Soldiers of Mexico, which recounts the story of the San Patricio Battalion, which resisted the U.S. invasion of Mexico in 1846-48. It is worth noting that good Irish/Mexican relations and solidarity between the nations stem from that history.
The Irish ambassador in Mexico has also asked me to contribute to St. Bridget's Day events in which women are celebrated and I am excited to participate in those as well.
I also volunteer as a mentor to seniors who are writing AP Capstone Research papers on feminism in Mexico and Ireland.
Finally, I will be working with my colleague Fiachra Keogh, founder of Distant Voices in Ireland, to promote economic sustainability and social justice in developing countries throughout the world.
A: I am grateful to folks like you, Deborah, who take time out of their busy day to support other writers and artists.
T.S. Eliot once wrote: "Between us there is no competition, there is only the trying." Sam Hamill once wrote in The American Poetry Review of the "gift economy," those things that we do for others that do not result in economic payback but help to make a more equitable, more inclusive world.
You are a shining example. Mikel Miller, small press editor and publisher, is another. You are the unsung heroes of our trade. Many thanks.

Egypt and Libya May See Arab Spring Turn to Arab Winter
Home » Egypt and Libya May See Arab Spring Turn to Arab Winter
In December of 2010, the rule of Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali became the target of mass protests. Within a month, Ben Ali was forced from power and fled to Saudi Arabia. His fall from power marked the beginning of a populist movement which swept North Africa, the Middle East and beyond. Three more national governments were to crumble before this movement; including that of Egyptian leader Hosni Mubarak, who was ousted little more than a month after the exile of the Tunisian President. In August of the same year, the regime of Libyan strongman Muammar Gadafi was defeated, following a short and bloody civil war that drew UN intervention and US airstrikes against the Libyan government. The story of the upheaval that forced Mubarak's resignation and Gadafi's ouster, however, continues to develop and both Egypt and Libya may see it's 'Arab Spring' turn to Arab winter, before the current year is out.
There is no single factor that lead to the revolts across the Arab world; poverty and dissatisfaction with dictatorial rule could be cited among the major causes. Whatever the reasons, these popular uprisings were swiftly co-opted by Islamist movements and the people of Egypt soon found themselves with a Muslim Brotherhood government that has quickly begun to steer the country towards an authoritarian, Islamist state with Sharia law at its center. Although it would be false to deny the popularity of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, their plans for the country are, clearly, not what many Egyptians had bargained for. Unwilling to give up the secularist nature of Egyptian society which existed under Mubarak's regime, a section of society is, once again, rebelling against a government that – in their eyes – is not acting in their best interests.
In Libya, the situation is even less clear; following the toppling of Gadafi – who was discovered in hiding and beaten to death by a mob, shortly after – the country has been in turmoil; with a weak, coalition government seemingly unable to curb the power of Islamist militias and other criminal bands. Further unrest is, almost certainly, on the horizon for Libya. Gadafi – like Mubarak – was a secularist, who understood the threat posed by radical Islam; something that western leaders have yet to come to terms with. The current leadership in Libya, known as the General National Congress (GNC), is struggling with interim government and the drawing up of a new Constitution. This governing body is made up of several parties and a host of independents. The Libyan Muslim Brotherhood is represented, but did not do well in elections and holds only a relatively small number of seats.
Outside of the Capital, Tripoli, the power of the GNC is limited; despite their attempts to reign in the militias that have refused to disband after the civil war, the government has made little progress in asserting its authority. Many ordinary Libyans face constant intimidation by the mainly Islamist militias, which include al-Qaeda affiliated groups. Violence and lawlessness is widespread and it seems inevitable that – sooner, rather than later – a day of reckoning will come, for the GNC. Whether their power will be challenged by the militias, or by a populace frustrated with their impotence, is not yet clear. Having rid itself of a dictator who, effectively, made Libya a pariah on the international stage, Libya – like Egypt – may yet see its Arab Spring turn to winter.
Egypt faces an almost exactly inverse situation; the ruling Muslim Brotherhood quickly gathered – and granted themselves – an amount of power and authority easily rivaling that of former leader Mubarak. Many Egyptians have become uneasy about this. Adding to Egypt's growing problems is the general perception that new leader Mohammed Morsi has failed to provide effective leadership or address the problems of increasing crime, fuel shortages, inflation and rising unemployment.
With planned, mass protests against President Morsi looming, his most loyal supporters are amping up the rhetoric against the protesters, vowing to "smash" them and referring to them as infidels, who deserve to be killed.
The eventual outcome of further unrest may lie, ultimately, at the feet of the powerful Egyptian military. Egypt has, effectively, been under the control of the military since the toppling of the Egyptian monarchy, in 1952. After Mubarak's resignation, the military took control and – in reality – Morsi is President by the grace of the generals who handed over power to him. Despite the fact that Morsi moved quickly to remove the top two Generals, the Egyptian army has been less than pleased with the way they have been treated by the Muslim Brotherhood. Morsi has not yet had time to purge the army and instill his loyalists to positions of control. Should widespread violence erupt across the country, it is not at all clear that the army will act to restore order, on behalf of Morsi's government.
General Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, current army Chief, indicated Sunday that the Egyptian military stood ready to intervene, in order to prevent the country entering what he called a "dark tunnel of conflict, internal violence." Most significantly, he had strong words of warning for the Morsi government. Addressing the President's hard-line supporters, El-Sissi said "It is not honorable that we remain silent in the face of the terrorizing and scaring of our Egyptian compatriots. There is more honor in death than watching a single Egyptian harmed while his army is standing idly by."
While the eyes of the world are on the bitter Syrian revolt – which has claimed almost 100,000 lives – the Muslim nations of North Africa have yet to complete their transitions away from the years of authoritarian rule. Many people in these nations have no desire to replace one oppressive regime with another. The so-called Arab Spring, which overtook Egypt and Libya, may yet turn to Arab winter.

Mick Jagger Gets Skepta, Tame Impala for New EP
The release also comes with a series of new videos
By Sarah Murphy
The Rolling Stones recently hinted at plans to head back into the studio soon, but it seems that frontman Mick Jagger has been up to some music-making of his own.
Coming as part of the newly released five-track EP Gotta Get a Grip / England Lost (Reimagined), the 74-year-old rocker has unveiled a pair of new original songs, and he's enlisted a couple of impressive guests for both.
"England Lost" finds him pairing up with UK grime rapper Skepta (as previously teased) to take shots at England's isolationist attitude and immigration policies. The track has been treated to both a lyric video and a Saam Farahmand-directed clip.
"Gotta Get a Grip," meanwhile, also offers up politically charged one liners like: "Immigrants are pouring in / refugees under your skin / Keep 'em under, keep 'em out / Intellectuals, shut your mouth." The song has been paired with a video starring Girls actress Jemima Kirke. The clip is set in a sweaty nightclub, and the flashing lights and slow-motion effects make for an awfully tense viewing experience.
For the new EP, Jagger has also added a series of remixed versions of "Gotta Get a Grip," which arrive courtesy of Tame Impala's Kevin Parker, Matt Clifford, Alok and Seeb.
Check out the videos for "England Lost," the video for "Gotta Get a Grip" and the latter track's four new remixes below. You can grab the whole EP here via Apple.
The Rolling Stones' most recent release arrived as a series of blues covers called Blue and Lonesome last year. Jagger's last solo album was Goddess in the Doorway, released all the way back in 2001.

Yes, I'm posting my Looking at the Sky on Friday very, very early. This is because I'm still on vacation and don't have access to the internet, except on very rare occasion, like now when I came into the office to do some work.
Tuesday evening, Dad, Matouk, and I were sitting in Dad's back yard. We were just hanging out and talking about everything from fishing to lipozene. I glanced back at the reservoir and saw the colors of the sunset. So, Dad, Matouk, and I took a little walk so I could photograph the sunset over the reservoir. If you look closely, you'll see that, once again, I was joined by another critter who had come to watch the beauty. If you click on the photo to view it larger, you can see the critter on the right side of the photo.
So, let's see - vacation, doing some work - I don't think those two are supposed to be in the same sentence.
Wonderful, moody photo. Nice work, Misty!
Whenever I go on an airplane I look at the ground and everything is like a square or rectangle of different colors, like grasses and such. Why is that?
I did enlarge the photo, and, "Oh, wow!" came out of my mouth. It looks like you are having a nice vacation. I hope you don't have to work much on it.
Me missed you so much when you were gone!!!!!!!!!
