Blair's 'solutions' are the problem
by Hazel Croft
Published Sat 13 Oct 2001
Tony Blair summed up Labour's mission as, 'Let us reorder this world,' when he spoke at the Labour conference last week. He said the 'international community' could sort out the world's problems. But when Blair talks of the 'international community' he does not mean ordinary people showing solidarity with one another.
He means the governments of Britain, the US and Europe, and their allies. He means the military machine of NATO, multinational companies, and institutions like the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. Such people will never bring solutions to the world's problems. It is precisely these governments and institutions, which Blair wholeheartedly supports, that created the horrors of famine, war and injustice.
He spoke about the suffering in 'the slums of Gaza'. But it is Western intervention which helped set up the state of Israel, armed it and supported it through all its massacres of Palestinians. Now Blair's supporters talk of establishing 'protectorates'-one of the words British governments used to describe their colonies.
'WE WILL assemble a humanitarian coalition alongside the military coalition in Afghanistan'-Blair
Every time the world's powers go to war they try to present their motives in a noble light. They tell us they are fighting against tyranny and for democracy. It was in the name of the 'international community' that the US and Britain, under the useful cover of the United Nations, bombed Iraq during the 1991 Gulf War, murdering tens of thousands of civilians and Iraqi army conscripts. It is the 'international community' and the UN which have maintained sanctions on Iraq, murdering over 500,000 children.
Blair blames the Taliban for the human catastrophe in Afghanistan. It was the intervention of Russia and the US, two of the key players in Blair's present 'international community', which wrecked Afghanistan. They have fuelled two decades of civil war and desperate poverty. Russia invaded Afghanistan in 1979, and in the 1980s the US backed the Mujahadeen rebels who fought back against Russia.
US president Ronald Reagan and Britain's Margaret Thatcher praised the Mujahadeen as 'freedom fighters'. Through its allies Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, the US poured millions of dollars of military aid in to arm the Afghan rebels.
'THE STATE of Africa is a scar on the conscience of the world. We could heal it'-Blair
Africa is a 'scar' because Britain, France, the US and the world capitalist system have wrecked the continent. The Western powers carved the continent up in the 19th century in their scramble for profits and power. In a period of 20 years they carved out 30 colonies covering ten million square miles-without the slightest reference to the local populations.
Governments and big firms looted Africa of its wealth. They slaughtered millions of people in order to keep their hands on the spoils. They installed and encouraged militaristic and corrupt regimes in order to guarantee profits. And they stoked up division and hatred in order to 'divide and rule'. On top of this, the economic crisis of capitalism pushed many African countries to the brink of collapse.
Institutions like the IMF and World Bank provided loans. But in return they imposed austerity and Structural Adjustment Programmes which have destroyed hospitals, schools and welfare services in already desperately poor countries.
They demanded debt repayments which kill thousands of children through malnutrition and illness every day. The 'international community' represented by the IMF and World Bank refuses to wipe out these debts. Relieving the debts of the poorest 20 countries would cost £4 billion-a sixth of what Bush pledged for the first phase of the war on Afghanistan. Today 40 percent of people in sub-Saharan Africa, 290 million people, live on less than 70 pence a day.
On 11 September, the day of the attack on the US, 35,615 people in the world died from starvation and the diseases caused by malnutrition.
'THE international community could sort out the Democratic Republic of Congo'-Blair
Nowhere has the horror created by the West been more evident than in the Democratic Republic of Congo, formerly called Zaire. Belgium seized the country, then the Belgian Congo, in the 1880s when the big European powers carved Africa up. Belgium's King Leopold's regime massacred and tortured hundreds of thousands of people.
It forced almost the entire population to hunt for rubber, and slaughtered those who failed to deliver the required quota. During Leopold's 25-year reign of terror half of Congo's population, some ten million people, died from overwork, torture and starvation. But the horror continued even when revolt eventually forced Belgium to grant independence in 1960.
The Western powers were prepared to go to any lengths to keep control of the cobalt, uranium, diamonds and other rich resources of the country. In 1961 the Belgian and British governments, the CIA and the United Nations united to crush the newly elected government, and they murdered prime minister Patrice Lumumba.
Then in 1965 the CIA and the West installed one of Africa's most ruthless and corrupt despots, Mobutu, as president of Zaire, and protected him almost to the end of his rule in 1997. Since then the mining multinationals have continued to squabble over Congo's wealth. Six foreign armies have intervened, many of them friends of the West. This has fuelled the civil war, which has left two and a half million people dead and which still rages today.
'IF RWANDA happened today, when a million were slaughtered, we could act there'-Blair
Western powers did intervene in Rwanda before the 1994 massacres. In 1990 the French government sent troops to save the regime which would unleash the mass murder four years later. In the same year the IMF imposed its Structural Adjustment Programme which plunged society into turmoil and kicked off the spiral of scapegoating towards the Tutsi minority
A UN force was sent to Rwanda, but at the height of the genocide Madeleine Albright, then President Clinton's Secretary of State, ordered Western troops to leave the country. However, once the killing had begun, there was renewed French intervention. In June 1994 France's president, Mitterrand, launched Operation Turquoise and sent 2,500 troops to Rwanda.
But the French troops encouraged rather than stopped the massacres. One account describes how, 'on seeing French flags, hidden Tutsis would come out of hiding only to be immediately killed by the soldiers of the militiamen. As a French soldier protested, 'I am fed up of being cheered along by murderers'.' The 'safe zone' created by the French was a haven for the Hutu generals who had been responsible for the genocide.
An eyewitness reported that it was common to hear French troops called 'Mitterrahamwe'-after the Hutu butchers of the Interahamwe.
'THE starving, the wretched, the dispossessed and the ignorant-they are our cause too'-Blair
Blair has travelled the globe singing the praises of the free market and capitalist globalisation. He visited Argentina in the summer. He did not bring a message of hope. He praised the austerity programme which meant millions of workers and pensioners had their living standards reduced by 13 percent at a stroke.
The global capitalist system Blair defends is built on exploitation and oppression. Every day it breaks the lives of workers and the poor. They are the victims of the same global capitalist system Blair praises, victims of the 'international community' he claims can sort everything out.

Calendar of Shows
Elizabeth V. Warren March 18, 2019 Exhibitions
Fig. 1. Asher Androvette by John Bradley (active 1832–1845), 1832. Signed and dated "I Bradley Deli.n 1832." at lower right. Oil on canvas, 28 5/8 by 26 1/4 inches. American Folk Art Museum, New York, gift of Peter and Jeffrey Tillou.
In the popular imagination, works of American folk art from centuries past are rural creations—from figurines carved by farmers in their idle hours, to naive portraits painted by artists who roamed from village to village— and, too often, exhibitions foster that perception. In fact, much of what we consider folk art was produced in cities, and could have been produced only amid dense populations, where businesses and a burgeoning merchant class placed a premium on artisanal and artistic talents. New York City was particularly fertile ground in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries for those with creative abilities: it was a growing center of trade and the manufacture of everything from furniture to ships, with access to abundant natural resources, and a constant need for skilled labor. A key factor in the prosperity of New York City, visible in the folk art produced there, was its attitude toward immigrants. Not all newcomers were welcome and not every family's story ended in success, but a steady stream of immigrants gave the city a continuously growing population of consumers and, more important, a flood of diverse talents and cultural traditions.
A new exhibition at the American Folk Art Museum—and an accompanying book—examines the relationship in New York's past between folk art and the business world, as both a wellspring of artisanal production and as the subject of works of art. Both book and exhibition explore a range of creative genres, and the objects and artworks on view tell the stories of an array of talented, and often colorful, artists and artisans of old New York.
Fig. 2. Punch bowl attributed to John Crolius Jr. (1755–c. 1835), 1811. Inscribed "Elisabeth Crane May 22th 1811" below rim. Salt-glazed stoneware with cobalt decoration; height 7 3/4, diameter 15 1/2 inches. American Folk Art Museum, gift of Ralph Esmerian; photograph by John Bigelow Taylor.
Many sites in the city bore deposits of clay suitable for making redware and stoneware. Among the best-known stoneware makers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries were Johan Willem (John William) Crolius, who arrived in Manhattan from Nieuw Wit (Coblenz), Germany, in 1718, and his descendants and extended family. An elegant stoneware punch bowl (Fig. 2) has been attributed to the pottery owned by grandson John Crolius Jr. The bowl is thinner and more elegantly shaped and delicately decorated than most contemporaneous American stoneware. Its form, with a raised straight foot and rounded flaring wall, was probably copied from examples of Chinese export porcelain. The incised pattern of vines and blossoms has been likened to designs on eighteenth-century delftware and textiles. The inscription on the bowl, which reads "Elisabeth Crane May 22th 1811," indicates that it was possibly a marriage or anniversary gift to a member of the Crane family of Cranetown (now Montclair), New Jersey. It has recently been suggested that the bowl may have been made by Caleb Crane, a potter in the Crolius workshop, as a gift for his wife Elisabeth, or as a christening bowl for his daughter, also named Elisabeth.1
Fig. 3. Portrait of Angelo Newton Franklin Goodell [1842–1871] by Ira Chaffee Goodell (1800– 1877), 1849. Inscribed "Extract from the Declaration/ of Independence in Phonography/ Written at the Apollo Rooms in/ N.York. Thursday Evening May/ 1849. By/ A.N.F. GOODELL./ Aged 6 Years and 8 Months." at left; and below "Now I suppose my name will/ appear in the papers tomorrow./" Yes, Master Angelo Newton/ Franklin Goodell, it shall. / T.C.Leland." and "Painted By I.C.GOODELL/ June 1849." Oil on canvas, 43 1/2 by 33 inches. Collection of Suzanne and Michael R. Payne.
Many folk portrait painters settled down in urban areas and found commissions among the newly prosperous. John Bradley, an immigrant from Great Britain, began his American career on Staten Island, where he painted portraits of some of the borough's most prominent residents. Asher Androvette's portrait (Fig. 1) is the earliest known signed and dated painting by Bradley in the United States and proves that he was living and working on Staten Island by 1832. In a history of Staten Island, the Huguenot Androvettes are described as an "old French family" who were early settlers of Westfield. The Androvettes are further related by marriage to the prominent Coles and Tottens, who also figured among Bradley's Staten Island sitters.
After a period of itinerancy in his youth, Ira Chaffee Goodell settled with his wife and family in New York City in April 1834. Over the years, the family moved many times within the city, possibly as a result of the changing fortunes of the artistic life.2 Goodell described the rise and fall of his profession in the city in a letter to his sister-in-law:
In this City, thirty years ago there were nearly two hundred Portrait Painters. Now, I doubt if there is fifty, and nearly all of these are of the first class artists and are patronised by the Wealthy, paying from three to five hundred dollars apiece.—I think Hard Times and Photography, has Slain Common Portrait Painters.3
Fig. 4. Captain Jinks show figure, possibly by Thomas J. White (1825– 1902), c. 1880. Paint on wood; height 75 (including base), width 17, depth 17 inches. Collection of John and Barbara Wilkerson; photograph by Ellen McDermott.
Goodell participated in many of the "intellectual" pursuits of the mid-nineteenth century, including phrenology, mesmerism, clairvoyance, and phonography, an early form of shorthand. He taught phonography to his son Angelo Newton Franklin Goodell who, at age six, wrote the Declaration of Independence from memory in phonography before a large audience at the Apollo Rooms in May 1849. Ira Goodell commemorated the event with a large, ambitious portrait of Angelo performing the amazing feat (Fig. 3) including Angelo's statement that "Now I suppose my name will appear in the papers tomorrow."
Fig. 5. Carousel camel attributed to the workshop of Charles I. D. Looff (1852–1918), 1875–1900. Paint on wood; height 44 1/2, width 50 1/2, depth 9 inches. Collection of Kendra and Allan Daniel.
New York City's prominence in shipbuilding from about 1820 until after the Civil War gave rise to an active community of ship carvers. When the shipbuilding business began to decline in the 1850s, a number of them turned their skills to creating show figures—the statuesque caricatures, such as cigar store Indians, used as advertising. By 1860, show figures were ubiquitous across America—with images of Turks, Scotsmen, fashionable women, and the like crowding city pavements. New York City remained the center of production and distribution, and the expressive "New York Style" of show figure was in demand throughout the country.
As in their ship-carving days, New York City figure carvers worked together in the same workshops, sharing skills, and artistic sensibilities. Thomas White, the probable carver of the figure of "Captain Jinks"— hero of a popular song in the post–Civil War era—is known to have worked with Samuel Robb (1851– 1928), the best-known and most prolific artist of the New York school of show figures. The face of "Captain Jinks" (Fig. 4) is believed to be a portrait of Robb. By the end of the nineteenth century, show figures were increasingly viewed as an old-fashioned mode of advertising and were gradually replaced by modern electric signs.
Some carvers found work in the shops of carousel manufacturers. Many of the greatest of these carvers were European immigrants, such as Charles I. D. Looff, a founder of the "Coney Island Style" of carousel carving, characterized by flamboyant horses bedecked with jewels and gold and silver leaf.
Fig. 6. Herman Raub Engaged in Weighing Gold at the Manhattan Bank at New York, artist unknown (possibly "Mr. Thompson"), 1805. Watercolor and pen and ink on paper; 15 3/4 by 13 inches including original frame. Private collection; photograph by Gavin Ashworth.
Looff emigrated from Holstein (then part of Prussia) in 1870, and found work in a furniture factory— and as a part-time ballroom dance instructor—and began carving animals from scraps of wood from the factory. In 1876 he installed carved horses and other animals on a rotating circular platform at Lucy Vanderveer's Bathing Pavilion at West Sixth Street and Surf Avenue, thus creating Coney Island's first carousel. Looff then opened a factory at 30 Bedford Avenue in Brooklyn, where he employed a number of expert carvers who later went on to establish their own businesses. As well as horses, Looff's enterprise created animals previously seen in America only in zoos, circuses, and P. T. Barnum's museum—including the camel (Fig. 5).
Folk artists were drawn to the commercial life of New York City, depicting new technological marvels, everyday transactions, and business people of all ranks. An 1805 watercolor portrait (Fig. 6) of John Herman Raub, identified in that year's city directory as a "counter" at the Manhattan Bank of New York (forerunner of the Chase Manhattan Bank, now JP Morgan Chase) shows him at work with a set of scales, a pencil tucked behind his ear. An appended poem handwritten in English and German defends his honesty and skill and points out that "Master, Child, or Slave are equal here." Raub prospered enough that, in the US census of 1820, he is, ironically, recorded as the head of a household that included one male slave.
Fig. 7. Goddess of Liberty weather vane, possibly by J. L. Mott Iron Works, New York, 1880–1900. Paint and gold leaf on copper and zinc; height 43, width 52, depth 4 inches. Collection of Jane and Gerald Katcher.
The best-known New York City weather-vane makers—J. W. Fiske and Company, E. G. Washburne and Company, J. L. Mott Iron Works, among others—copied each other's forms and it is often difficult to distinguish the vanes of one company from another's. Although described as factory-made, these weather vanes actually involved a great deal of individual handwork. A copper or copper and zinc weather vane began with a number of carved wood or cast-iron molds. The copper was then hammered around the molds, cut, soldered together, filed, and gilded.
Jordan Lawrence Mott (1798–1866) was listed as a "grocer" in Longworth's New York City Directory from 1824 to 1834. By 1842 his occupation had changed to "stoves," after he invented the first cook- ing stove that burned anthracite coal as fuel. Mott originally made the stoves in a small foundry at the rear of his store on Water Street in Manhattan; however, a rapid increase in business led him to purchase an extensive tract of land in the South Bronx for a new iron works. An entire village rose around it, and the area is still known as Mott Haven. Mott's descendants continued to operate the firm in the Bronx until the first years of the twentieth century, when it moved to Trenton, New Jersey.4
The Goddess of Liberty weather vane (Fig. 7) is attributed to Mott's company based on its similarity to one illustrated in the 1892 Mott catalogue.5 Beginning about 1865, weather vane manufacturers marketed designs that appealed to the patriotic spirit of post–Civil War America, as well as the expansionist mood of the country. A number of similar vanes were produced, most combining classical clothing with a Phrygian cap (a symbol of freedom in ancient Rome) and the American flag. The hand indicating the wind direction can also be interpreted as directing the country forward.6
Fig. 8. Two-gallon crock by W. A. MacQuoid and Company Pottery Works, New York, c. 1869. Stamped "WM-A MACQUOID &CO/ NEW-YORK./ LITTLE WST. 12TH ST./ 2" and inscribed "Gold $1.44 1/2." Stoneware with cobalt decoration; height 11 1/2, diameter 10 1/2 inches. Private collection; Ashworth photograph.
Scandals, crashes, and dirty dealing are topics that invariably arise when discussing the history of Wall Street and the financial markets. Before the 1929 stock market crash, the term "Black Friday" referred to September 24, 1869, the day the price of gold reached $144.50 per ounce (as commemorated on the two-gallon crock shown in Fig. 8) and sent the US financial sector into chaos. Speculators Jay Gould and Jim Fisk had attempted to corner the market by leading a conspiracy to buy all the country's outstanding gold, artificially inflating the price. President Ulysses S. Grant learned of the manipulation and ordered the government to release $4 million in gold, driving down the price and crushing the gold ring's scheme. Panic on Wall Street followed, and many who had invested heavily in gold were ruined.7
Fig. 9. Situation of America, 1848, artist unknown, 1848. Oil on wood; height 34, width 57, depth 1 3/8 inches. American Folk Art Museum, Esmerian gift.
By 1800 the port of New York handled nearly one-third of the new nation's overseas trade and almost one-quarter of its coastal trade.8 The opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 only increased the city's importance to shipping. Certainly the "Situation of America" in 1848 appeared rosy, as shown by the painting on panel of that name (Fig. 9). The painting depicts the Manhattan skyline as seen from the Brooklyn waterfront. The paddle wheeler Sun, smoke pouring from its stacks, has either unloaded its freight or is waiting to set off with a new load. A freight train, piled high with sacks and crates, is rolling away.
In 1814 Robert Fulton formed the New York and Brooklyn Steam Ferry Boat Company, and cut the time of a voyage from Manhattan to Brooklyn to between four and eight minutes. The speed and regularity of the ferry service raised land values in Brooklyn, and helped create New York City's first commuter suburb.
Fig. 10. Flushing by James Bard (1815–1897), c. 1877. Inscribed "Drawn & Painted By J. BARD NY 1877" at lower right. Oil on canvas, 29 1/2 by 49 inches. Queens Historical Society, Flushing, New York.
Twin brothers James and John Bard specialized in painting the steamboats that traveled the Hudson River to Albany, as well as local New York ferries, tugs, and sailing ships. For twenty years, the brothers painted together, with James continuing alone after John's death in 1856. The James Bard oil painting of the Flushing (Fig. 10) is undated, but the ship was built by the Wilmington, Delaware, firm of Harlan and Hollingsworth in 1877.9 The Flushing was owned by the Long Island Rail Road, which began operating ferries between Hunters Point in Queens and Manhattan in 1859.10
The building at No. 7 ½ Bowery, Manhattan (Fig. 11), housed a number of businesses, including Pollock's Fur Hat Manufactory, Smith and Brothers, and Phelps and Ensign Map Publishers. The wall signage on the middle row also names "Wriley Painter." De La Prelette Wriley, presumed to be the artist of this oil on wood panel, was indeed listed in the city directory of 1841 as a painter at this address.
Fig. 11. No. 7 1/2 Bowery, New York City by De La Prelette Wriley (1809– 1873), c. 1837–1839. Oil on wood panel, 20 by 24 3/4 inches. New-York Historical Society; photograph © New-York Historical Society.
Wriley was a sign painter by profession. His obituary in the New York Daily Tribune of December 30, 1873, notes that he worked for the firm of Willett L. Washburne and Robert Brown, a company that made "emblematic signs and weather vanes."11 According to the report, Wriley "acted in a singular manner, and wore fantastic garments. For years past he has been almost insane upon the subject of spiritualism." Wriley wrote obsessively in a book under "spiritual" inspiration. At the time of his death, he was rewriting the Constitution of the United States. He frequently stated that, when his book was finished, he would have nothing left to live for, and he would destroy himself. He finally did, stabbing himself dead in the workshop of Washburne and Brown. According to the Tribune, he left instructions to send his body "first to one wise sage of Brooklyn, and finally to a Dr. G. G. Atwood. His head, however, he ordered to be given to Messrs. Fowler & Wells, the phrenologists."

Sixteen shady acres of dirt pathways, steeply pitched roofs on narrow buildings and even a few turrets… all signs of a medieval European village… pop up just 15 minutes from downtown Kansas City. It's the home of the Kansas City Renaissance Festival, a.k.a. the KC Renfest.
Several times a day you can watch and cheer armored knights with clashing swords on thundering horses during the jousting matches.
You'll find leather goods, jewelry, renaissance foods (one of the favorites is roasted turkey legs), and souvenir wooden swords and shields for the kids at the 162 shops in the village. You can even buy handmade suits of chain mail. Another shop sells period renaissance clothing. Enter the shop in your street clothes and walk out in a wench's skirt, blouse and vest, or dashing clothes for a squire, sword and all.
Each weekend of the festival is themed—Scottish, Irish, Pirates, Royalty, Enchantment and Middle Eastern—so you can go back and see something different each time.
To get there from Kansas City, drive just one minute north of Bonner Springs exit 224 off K-7. Signs and banners show the way to free parking and the gateway to a trip 500 years into the past.
You can find further information on tickets, dates, times and directions at the festival's website: www.KCRenfest.com, or by calling (913) 721-2110.

Harold Pinter Theatre history
From the outside
Magnificent from the outside with its ornate pale frontage and wreath motifs, The Harold Pinter theatre's splendid interior, dating back to 1881, is one London's oldest and loveliest. You'll enjoy a wealth of original features despite the theatre being unsympathetically restored in 1954. Its Renaissance-style wood panels, beautiful gold ceiling, golden wallpaper and original brass ceiling sun-burner make for a traditional theatre experience to remember.
Harold Pinter Theatre architecture and history
The Harold Pinter Theatre was originally called The Royal Comedy Theatre, becoming the Harold Pinter in 2011. First opening its doors way back in 1881, it was designed by Thomas Verity and built incredibly quickly, taking just six months. In the middle of the 1950s it was refurbished, re-opening in 1955. Thankfully they left the auditorium alone and today it's still an exercise in 1880s splendour, with its gorgeous three tiered horseshoe balconies.
The famous operetta Falka premiered in 1883, and Erminie premiered in 1885. Charles Blake Cochran and André Charlot presented their famous revues throughout the First World War, which made the theatre's name as a must-visit destination.
The theatre's orchestra pit is original, dating back to 1881, but these days it's rarely used. The last time was in 2009, the first time an orchestra had played from the pit in a quarter of a century.
In 1956 the theatre played a starring role in overturning the outdated stage censorship set in place by the 1843 Theatres Act, which was finally repealed in 1968. Setting up the New Watergate Club under producer Anthony Field meant they could legally stage plays that had been banned because of bad language or frowned-upon story lines. Without their actions Arthur Miller's A View from the Bridge, Robert Anderson's Tea and Sympathy and Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof might never have been staged in the West End.
Today the Harold Pinter Theatre is part of the Ambassador Theatre Group.
Past shows at the Harold Pinter Theatre
This historic venue has seen countless smash hits, wowing theatre audiences with Journey's End, The Old Masters and Whose Life is it Anyway? Audiences have raised the rafters for shows like The Home Place, The Caesar Twins, Steptoe and Son, Donkeys' Years and classic good-time audience participation show The Rocky Horror Show, which had its debut at the Harold Pinter in 1979.
Stockard Channing appeared in Six Degrees of Separation, which won best play at the 1993 Olivier Awards, and Maureen Lipman starred in Peggy For You. The theatre's biggest hits, however, were the 2000 performance of The Caretaker, with Michael Gambon, plus a remarkable eight week sell out of Little Malcolm and his Struggle Against the Eunuchs in 1999, starring Ewan McGregor.
Harold Pinter Theatre access
The Box Office and foyer are at street level, and the easiest access is to the Dress Circle, which provides four wheelchair spaces or space for small scooters.

I'm sorry I am new...what is a sling bag?

Pakistan offers to help virus-ravaged India
Pakistan on Saturday offered to help longtime rival India in its efforts to stem a catastrophic COVID-19 wave that has ravaged the world's second-most populous country.
"As a gesture of solidarity with the people of India in the wake of the current wave of COVID-19, Pakistan has offered to provide relief support to India including ventilators, BiPAP, digital X-ray machines, PPEs [personal protective equipment] and related items," Pakistan's Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
The offer comes amid a recent thaw in heightened tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors.
The concerned authorities of Pakistan and India, the statement said, can work out modalities for "quick delivery of the relief items."
"They can also explore possible ways of further cooperation to mitigate the challenges posed by the pandemic," the statement concluded.
A staggering surge in infections has kept India's daily case count over 300,000 since Thursday, hitting another global record of 346,786 on Saturday, with a daily death toll at 2,624.
The spiraling crisis has pushed India's healthcare system to the brink of collapse and caused a crippling nationwide shortage of oxygen supplies.
The country's overall tally is now over 16.6 million, including 189,544 fatalities.
The Edhi Foundation, Pakistan's largest humanitarian agency, on Friday offered to send a fleet of 50 ambulances and staff to help in India's fight against the pandemic. New Delhi has yet to respond to the offer.

What happened to the forums? We used to have forums.
Q: What happened to the forums? We used to have forums.
A: Yes, we once hosted forums on this website, for the use of our attendees to ask questions, etc. In recent years, they receieved little use as people turned to social media to contact us. There were no posts in 2016 and 2017. As such, the forums were removed in October 2018.


People don't like to read information from a computer screen. They scan pages for important content, and click on the first link that catches their eyes or vaguely resembles the information that they were searching for.
The more content you have the less people will read. This is because too much text on a page is intimidating; it scares people away.
In addition to this, having a lot of text is bad for Search Engine Optimization (SEO), because it means that your important keywords are buried within a lot of less relevant text.
Short, succinct copy is the goal, and these tips are intended to help you write for the web, or review existing content with both optimization and readability in mind.
Copywriting is about selling first and writing second. This involves an understanding of your reader and what makes them tick.
Focus on the reader. It's not about you, your company or your product. Figure out who they are, what they want, what will make them buy from you.
What are their hopes/ fears/ desires/ vices?
What do they want more (or less) of in their lives?
Do they value money or less stress higher?
Do they value fashion or comfort higher?
Are they lead by their head or their heart?
The more insights you can gain in to your reader's mind, the more likely you are to write copy that appeals to them in a way that they can't ignore.
If you state a fact about your product, follow it with the benefit to the reader.
You must provide plenty of objective reasons why your reader should buy your product, but remember that people buy mostly on emotional grounds. Benefits sell. Features do not.
Tell the reader how your product will improve their life, and they will care. Tell them that it has a 16 gigowatt engine and is made of a polycarbonate encrusted shell, and they will not.
Writing for the web is all about showing your readers that your product is the solution to their problem. That means the first thing you have to do is to work out what their problem is.
How will your product improve your reader's life? Answer that question in the first 2 sentences and you're off to a great start. Mention as many benefits as you can, and use concrete, specific examples to illustrate what you're saying.
The "inverted pyramid" began in Journalism and is hugely relevant to writing for the web.
Identify your key message make sure it is within the first paragraph, because the reader could stop reading at any time. Most people read just 3 lines before deciding whether or not the page is relevant.
Ask yourself what you want the user to do with/find out from this page. Make this the most obvious part of your content. If your reader can identify quickly what each page is about, they can decide whether it is worth reading further.
A good rule is that you should be saying the same as you say in print on the web using half as many words. War and Peace, for example, will never be popular as an e-book.
Keep your language and sentence structure simple. This is not time to show off your vocabulary.
Dense chunks of complex text will put readers off.
Headlines are one of the most important things you will write on the web. The first couple of words need to be real attention-grabbers if you want your visitors to read on.
Use clear and descriptive keywords. Remember that headings count very highly towards your optimization.
Links are great for helping people navigate around your site and around the wider web with ease. Longer links are harder to read than shorter ones, so be as concise as possible.
Text in links counts highly for search engines; try to choose a keyword or phrase as the link text.
Try to make links read as part of the text.
Links are good, but only link to reputable and relevant sites.
Don't use complete sentences as links.
If you want someone to read important content, make sure you place the link AFTER the content, not before or in the middle.
Put yourself in the mind of your perfect visitor and try to use the language and words that they might use to find you.
This will make your pages easier to understand for the user and have a higher chance of being picked up in searches. The best thing about the web is that your perfect customer is the person who is searching for you!
Example: Use cartoon instead of animation if that is what you think your target audience will type in to Google.
Never use the phrase "welcome to our website" or an equivalent. It's like small talk, it doesn't convey any information; it's an attempt to be welcoming and friendly. However, web users don't have time for small talk, they just want to find information (e.g. name and telephone number) and then move on. On the web it's all about quick communication and getting fast results.
Your website section will actually be much more user-friendly if you avoid welcome waffle.
10. Last but not least: Proofread your text and check your grammar!
Read and rewrite as many times as necessary. Leave it for a day and come back to it before signing it off.

Testosterone Enanthate: Testosterone is a long acting injectable testosterone that is widely used amongst athletes. It is currently the most popular testosterone ester available to athletes.
Unlike Cypionate, enanthate is manufactured by various companies worldwide. Ampules of Testoviron depot from Schering are probably the most popular although many others exist. Enanthate is a long acting testosterone similar to cypionate.
Injections of testosterone are taken once weekly, with a dosage of 200-600 mg being most common for athletes. It has very strong anabolic effects as well as strong androgenic side effects.
Gynocomastia and water retention are the most common side effects and should be watched for. Being an injectable testosterone, liver values are generally not elevated much by this product. It only needs to be administered once every 7 days as opposed to cypionate's weekly injections. This yields greater convenience and cost effectiveness. Effective dosages of Testoviron depot range from 1 to 3 ccs every 10 days. Testosterone is a powerful hormone with notably prominent side effects. Much of which stem from the fact that testosterone exhibits a high tendency to convert into estrogen.
Related side effects may therefore become a problem during a cycle. For starters, water retention can become quite noticeable. This can produce a clear loss of muscle definition, as subcutaneous fluids begin to build. The storage of excess body fat may further reduce the visibility of muscle features, another common problem with aromatizing steroids. The excess estrogen level during/after your cycle also has the potential to lead up to gynecomastia. Adding an ancillary drug like Nolvadex and/or Proviron is therefore advisable to those with a known sensitivity to this side effect. It is believed that the use of an antiestrogen can slightly lower the anabolic effect of most androgen cycles (estrogen and water weight are often thought to facilitate strength and muscle gain), so one might want to see if such drugs are actually necessary before committing to use.

Latonia Baptist Church
Home/Genealogy/Regional History/Covington History/Latonia/Latonia Baptist Church
Latonia Baptist is a Protestant Church located at 38th and Church Sts. in Latonia, KY. Its origins trace back to its days as a mission of the Immanuel Baptist in Covington. As a mission, it was founded in 1892 by Rev. J.A. Lee (also pastor of Immanuel Baptist) and several of his followers (this date is, however, debatable, but it was certainly founded c. 1892). After several years of meeting in small houses, a permanent church was finally built in 1896. This building was located at 38th and Decoursey Streets. Latonia Baptist, however, initially met much resistance upon its attempt to join the local Association of Baptist Churches due to its conflicts with Immanuel Baptist over becoming independent from its mother church's Mission. W.R. Hutton was in charge of the dissident Latonia Baptists from 1898-99 and helped fight Immanuel Baptist's attempts to rectify the independent faction.
After issues of property ownership were settled, Latonia Baptist was allowed to become independent from Immanuel Baptist. C.A. Earl became the first official pastor of the new church and Latonia Baptist was admitted to the Association in 1900 as the First Baptist Church of Latonia. Rev. Earl soon left the new congregation in 1904 for ministerial positions in Texas and was replaced by Jesse Warren Beagle later that same year. Not long after, in 1907, Beagle too resigned for other positions, but not before he had overseen the church enlarged in 1905 to provide for more space.
The next very influential minister in the history of Latonia Baptist, Thomas Clinton Crume (T.C.) became pastor on August 1st, 1913. The church history was apt to note that Crume was a very active and vigorous minister, and much occurred during his tenure. A new sanctuary was built in 1917 to accommodate the increasing size of the church's membership. The new building was designed by local architect Howard McClory and was located at the corner of Church and 38th Streets. The church included an auditorium seating 300 and was built at the cost of $33,000. By 1920, Latonia Baptist was the largest Baptist Church in the Association and by then it had already begun missionary efforts within the city.
An interesting episode in the church's history occurred in the early 1920's when several of its members began to dissent against Rev. Crume. The church history cited several possible reasons, from the pastor's preoccupation with the new construction to his excessive visiting of other churches at the expense of his own. Regardless, the result was that several of the deacons at Latonia Baptist (along with other high officials) attempted to oust Crume from his position, only to be themselves expelled by the general congregation for attacking the pastor they respected. The splinter group then attempted to found their own church, Calvary Baptist, and conflict continued for quite some time despite conciliatory efforts.
In 1923, Rev. Crume resigned from Latonia Baptist and soon afterward became a missionary. He was replaced later that year by O.J. Steger, a minister that the church has since dubbed the "Son of Thunder." During his tenure, the church expanded its missionary activity to other parts of Latonia and constructed several mission houses.
During the Depression, however, the church fell on very hard financial times while under the leadership of Rev. Black, who had become pastor in 1926. Several of the church's peripheral functions were suspended or attenuated by such circumstances.
Rev. Black was eventually replaced by Lewis C. Ray in 1939, who himself was quickly succeeded by Rev. Huss. Huss himself oversaw construction of the new Sunday School, completed in 1941, designed by Rev. Ray.
More missions were established in Latonia through the next several years. Before the end of the 40's, however, Rev. Huss resigned and was replaced by Thomas Shelton who became pastor in December of 1950. Throughout Shelton's stay as minister, Latonia Baptist continued to fund and expand its various missions throughout the city, including a couple constructed in the interim after Huss resigned. Several of these missions would go on to become members of the Baptist Association later in the 50's. As for Latonia Baptist itself, another large educational building was also added onto the main church in 1954. A kindergarten and library opened up soon afterwards.
In 1965, Rev. Shelton resigned to pursue other positions within the Baptist Association. Latonia Baptist, however, celebrated its 75th Anniversary in 1975 with many of the former pastors, including Shelton, in attendance. As of 1972, the pastor was Harold Wainscott.
Latonia Baptist, as a result of its extensive missionary activity, has become known as "The Mother of Baptist Churches in Latonia." Churches formed from Latonia Baptist included: Decoursey Baptist, Calvary Baptist, Ashland Avenue Baptist and Rosedale Baptist.

Hello, I'm Nobody and who are you?
Solo exhibition at the end of my 'Artist in Residency' in Wiesbaden, Germany. During my stay I explored the archives of the Naturkundemuseum Wiesbaden to get an impression of the diverse structures in nature. The endless varieties of natural and bizarre forms initiated the drawings 'aus der Blendung heraus I-XVI'.
Also I experimented intensively with Plissé. Folding and systematic pleats have a very interesting aspect since they enlarge the surface many times and create a non-graspable dimension. On one hand the folds are systematic, rigid and sharp but on the other hand Plissé has an organic and agile look and feel. Out of this interest the sculptural works 'durch den Kopf fallen' und 'Aussetzer' evolved.

Kulgam Gunfight: People dug-out two militants alive from the rubble
By Ahmad Mukhtar on May 29, 2019
Representational Pic
Srinagar: People dug-out two militants alive from the rubble of a house which was destroyed by the army and police to overpower the militants in South Kashmir's Kulgam area.
Eye witnesses said forces could not withstand the fury of stone pelting and protests as thousands of people gathered at the site of gunfight.
"The encounter started at around Sehri (Pre-dawn) at Mohammadpora Village of Kulgam," witnesses said.
"They demolished the house using heavy explosives. They left in hurry as they could not face thousands of people who wanted to break the cordon and save the trapped militants".
"Thousands of people have converged at the gunfight scene. They were pelting stones at the forces. They were raising slogans in favor of freedom".
Later, witnesses said, as the forces left, a sea of people thronged at the site of gunfight.
"They dug out two militants alive from the rubble," witnesses said.
"They lifted them on their shoulder, raising slogans in favor of freedom. There was whistling and shouting of Nara-e-Takbeer slogans".
The witnesses said apart from the house, the owner lost his small orchard as well.
"The house was destroyed so was the orchard located around the house," they said.
Over 60 people were injured after forces opened pellets on the protesters trying to save the militants. Four of them have been shifted to Srinagar for advanced treatment.
Three LeT militants had escaped under cover of darkness and taking advantage of protests. Two more were rescued by locals from debris as forces called off the operation due to massive protests near encounter site at Mohamadpora village of Kulgam. The operation lasted for 12 hours as the cordon was laid at 11 pm in the night.

Q: carry-less multiplication optimization for ECC over GF(2^m) in MIRACL Link to MIRACL crypto library by CertiVox
Following the instructions in fastgf2m.txt, I've been able to get everything to compile. However, after execution, the benchmark (bmark.exe) program halts when evaluating curves over GF(2^m) with error, "This is not a point on the curve!"
I am able to get everything to work without the optimization but I'm unsure where the problem exists. I haven't modified any curve parameters and followed instructions in the distribution. I'm compiling on 64-bit Windows 8.1, on an Intel i7-3520M.
If anyone has any advice on how to correct this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

A: The method outlined in fastgf2m.txt is for generating unrolled code associated with a fixed m value determined at compile time. The bmark program changes m at runtime, and so the unrolled code will often not be correct in this case. The documentation could be clearer on this point.
Also make sure your processor does support the PCLMULQDQ instruction - many older processors will not.
It might be better to test the method on the ecsgen2/ecssign2/ecsver2 programs to implement ECDSA over GF(2^283) for example.

Q: Windows 10 mobile UWP - slow back button I have simply application written in c#, with sqlite database. I realized that it's not working fast on my phone. I'm pretty sure that problem is linked with functionality of pressed bulit-in back button. When I repeat several time this process:
Open new page -> return to previous page by back button, the application starting slows down.
When I added my own back button only to test, everything works fine.
I base mostly on this article:
http://www.wintellect.com/devcenter/jprosise/handling-the-back-button-in-windows-10-uwp-apps

A:
Open new page -> return to previous page by back button, the application starting slows down.

After looking into your project, I found out the problem: You are registering SystemNavigationManager.GetForCurrentView().BackRequested +=OnBackRequested on every page. SystemNavigationManager.GetForCurrentView().BackRequested is an application scope event. It won't dispose the eventhandler when you are navigating between pages. You only need to register it once in your whole application.
So, to fix the problem, you can comment out all the BackRequested event registration of your pages's code-behind and keep only the one in your App.xaml.cs.
For example: in ProductsPage.xaml.cs comment out or delete following lines:
//SystemNavigationManager.GetForCurrentView().BackRequested += (s, e) =>
//{
//    // TODO: Go back to the previous page
//    Frame.Navigate(typeof(main1));
//};

A: If your back is Phone hard key you may handle the event.
The link is say the pc and add the back button and you should
SystemNavigationManager.GetForCurrentView().BackRequested +=OnBackRequested;

    private void OnBackRequested(object sender, BackRequestedEventArgs e)
    {
        Frame rootFrame = Window.Current.Content as Frame;

        if (rootFrame?.CanGoBack==true)
        {
            e.Handled = true;
            rootFrame.GoBack();
        }
        else
        {
            Application.Current.Exit();
        }
    }
}

Home > Creative Art > Rachel Fanner's Exhibition of Paintings to Be Viewed At Sladers Yard
Rachel Fanner's Exhibition of Paintings to Be Viewed At Sladers Yard
An exhibition inspired by ancient woodland is launching online.
Experienced artist Rachel Fanner's latest exhibition can be viewed on the Sladers Yard (West Bay) website until Friday, March 12.
The focus of the paintings in the exhibition is Ty-canol in Wales, an ancient woodland of which very little remains.
Rachel produced most of her paintings as a release after lockdown last summer, when she was finally able to visit the woodlands and the coast.
After visiting Ty-canol, she described it as 'intense' and 'like a revelation'.
She said: "I felt surrounded by personalities who were interacting with each other. I thought, I love this place and these paintings poured out in the following weeks."
Rachel's painting style is inspired by the Modern British painters both pre and post Second World War.
She was one of the first environmental sculptors in the seventies and eighties, working for councils all over Britain to make public spaces into artworks relating to the natural world.

Mencken's Statement, for Oyster Farm
"Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats" --H L Mencken, quoted at AOSHQ in the masthead.
Yes. Well. Watch the video here. See how the Park Service lies through its teeth, stopping only to think up MORE lies--or to lie about FOIA rejection-reasons, putting 30 people out of work permanently.
Posted by Dad29 at 11:05 PM
First, a quick primer on how businesses work for Dad29. All businesses start with two options.
1) You purchase a facility and equipment.
2) You lease a facility and equipment.
Any company that chooses option number 2 runs the risk that their lease will either be terminated early or not renewed, regardless of whether the government is involved and/or makes the decision!
Second, a history lesson for Dad29. In the late 1950′s farmers, ranchers, and oyster harvesters (with the help of the Sierra Club) negotiated a deal with the National Park Service to protect and preserve the agricultural nature of the Point Reyes Peninsula, in perpetuity. The purpose was to prevent developers from purchasing their land and building 425,000 homes on the historic ranches of Point Reyes. The farmers, ranchers, and oyster harvesters sold their lands to the National Park Service in exchange for renewable leases.
The Lunnys wrongly assumed that they could keep their property forever. They were well-aware that the property was designated by Congress as a potential wilderness site in 1976, with the lease being possibly non-renewed.
In California, this situation is par for the course—somebody owns a large amount of acreage, does not have the credit resources or outright capital to engage in a given business, so they transfer/sell the land to the federal government and have it deemed an open preserve or natural preserve long with an OPTION for renewal.
So where is the outrage, Dad29, for this type of arrangement in the first place, especially since the person or business pays NO property taxes and a LOW lease rate? It basically amounted to enabling the Looneys to make a profit harvesting oysters at taxpayer expense. Do not conservatives generally condemn such deals on principle? What would be the reaction had an alternative energy firm was in the same predicament as the Lunneys? Would you come to their defense that the "gummint was overstepping its bounds"? Part of being a conservative—an adult—is taking responsibility for your own decisions, correct?
The Lunny's sold their land of their OWN FREEWILL. They understood the potential consequences of their actions. They made an assumption that the lease would automatically be granted. Whether the National Parks Service should be able to make such purchases—or that the federal government should be able to terminate leases—are ENTIRELY different questions.
This case clearly demonstrates conservative principles like 'the rule of Law' and 'Basic Contract Formation′. Contract signed…duties
performed….monies paid….contract ends. There is no contractual obligation by the Feds to automatically renew a lease. Frankly, such an obligation would run contrary to the whole concept of a lease, which is a temporary right to use and occupy property, "temporary" being the operative term.
For a family to then go to great expense to hire scientists and a video production company, one would think they could have spent their money best on a contract attorney to make their case. One would think there would be a physical contract they could have waved in front of the camera showing the merits of this rather dubious claim of government "promises".
Ultimately, there are serious and very real examples of big government eco-radicals eroding private property rights, but…this…case…is…NOT…one…of…them. There is no violation of property rights, rather, it is a reinforcement of property rights and contract law.
Dad29 said...
Gee. When I took BusAd, "businesses" did NOT "start" with owning or leasing land, facilities, and machines/equipment.
They started with filling a need.
But that's a quibble.
Now an English lesson for AnonyPants: "In perpetuity" means something, and it does NOT mean "until we lie and cheat you out of the deal."
Further, you are assuming facts not in evidence, specifically that the family did NOT have the credit or capital to preserve their own operations. You are also assuming that they did NOT hire lawyers (your favorite people, eh?). Or do you KNOW that?
Finally, it appears to be the case that the family intended to 'preserve the agricultural use...' of the property per the terms of the "in perpetuity" agreement.
We agree that Fed ownership of land is questionable--but not necessarily wrong in all cases.
But making up, from whole cloth, a 'violation' of the lease-terms is a clear abuse, and cannot be tolerated as 'business as usual,' no matter who does it.
"Now an English lesson for AnonyPants: "In perpetuity" means something, and it does NOT mean "until we lie and cheat you out of the deal."
The deal was from 2004 to 2012, with the federal government, according to the leasing agreement, having the final call whether to continue it. In perpetuity, in the context of the 1976 law, means the National Park Service is well within its purview to expand the wilderness areas, to preserve the entire area, in perpetuity. There are NO stipulations to the contrary. The land is within the boundaries of the national seashore, which is visited by 2 million people a year, providing $85 million in economic activity and 1,000 jobs to surrounding communities. The law states that this area can be returned to its normal state, in perpetuity. Quibble with the law, not those applying it. LEGALLY, the federal government holds the cards regarding the lease, well within their right to make this judgement call.
"Further, you are assuming facts not in evidence, specifically that the family did NOT have the credit or capital to preserve their own operations..."
Care to provide those "facts not in evidence"?
Lunny's farm has an extensive record of violating state and federal agreements and permits. The California Coastal Commission has fined the farm for various violations, issued two cease-and-desist orders and repeatedly requested that the Lunnys acquire a coastal development permit.
http://northbaydigital.sonoma.edu/utils/getfile/collection/EHDC/id/901/filename/902.pdf
"In the late 1950's...."
Now it's "from 2004 to 2012"
If you have a mind, please make it up before submitting 'argument.'
The law states that this area can be returned to its normal state, in perpetuity.
The "normal state" since the 1950's (per your information) was WITH the oyster farm. Further, NPS cannot, by definition, return the land to its "normal state," as there has been disruption by the fact that the farm existed. But maybe that's a bit too abstruse for you.
Violation(s) of permits and C-and-D orders do not an undercapped Company make. YOU said they were under-capped. Show us the balance sheets, not citations from, ahhh...interested parties.
One more thing: if the Feds actually had the right to do whatsoever they damn well pleased to do with the "in perpetuity" lease, then why did they have to lie like Hell about the 'conditions'?
You've done a very nice dance around the lying scumbag behavior of the NPS. It's about time you addressed that--which, by the way, is THE largest injustice in the story.
"Now it's "from 2004 to 2012", If you have a mind, please make it up before submitting 'argument.'"
If Dad29 watched the video or even perused the source given at 4:21 p.m., he would have realized that Lunny bought the oyster company in 2004, knowing the lease expired in 2012.
"The "normal state" since the 1950's (per your information) was WITH the oyster farm."
Nice try. The cultivation of marine life for food (i.e. oyster harvesting) is a temporary, nonconforming condition. The "normal state" of wilderness is devoid of any human intrusion.
"Further, NPS cannot, by definition, return the land to its "normal state," as there has been disruption by the fact that the farm existed."
The land can indeed return to its "normal state"..,no more oyster farming! Think about loggers in a forest. No more logging for 30 years, tree saplings grow, critters find their way to that place. No one knows the difference after that time period. Same thing with the area in question...nature bounces back.
"Show us the balance sheets, not citations from, ahhh...interested parties."
That's YOUR job, not mine.
"You've done a very nice dance around the lying scumbag behavior of the NPS. It's about time you addressed that--which, by the way, is THE largest injustice in the story."
Perfectly legal is that "scumbag behavior". Don't like the law? Work to change it.
The cultivation of marine life for food (i.e. oyster harvesting) is a temporary, nonconforming condition.
Oooohhh! Really? When you run out of food, be sure to look up that phrase in your little Greenie lawbook again. It'll be found under "beliefs of the Cognoscenti who starved."
"lying scumbag behavior" "Perfectly legal"
On the East and West coasts--and in Chicago--lying scumbags are not only legal, but adored.
How was there a lie? The lease was NEVER GUARANTEED to be extended, especially to tax scofflaws like the Lunny's.
You can watch the video.
Clearly, Park Service was lying like hell about the conditions.
And you claim "it's the law."

NFL 2021: The Aaron Rodgers Affair Timeline: From Jordan Love's Choice To Return For 2021
NFL 2021 So were the facts and statements between the Packers and the quarterbacks
All episodes of the Packers-Aaron Rodgers novel.
Lyour Green Bay Packers They had to report on Tuesday for the start of training camp on Wednesday and, to everyone's surprise, Aaron Rodgers was present.
The quarterback, who until today had not participated in any of the team's offseason activities, He came back and aims for an untouched 17th season with the Packers, something that has been in doubt since Green Bay lost the NFC final, but that at the end of the day The novel ended as many expected: with Rodgers one more year before signing the divorce in 2022.
This is how this point was reached.
Just 16 years after the Packers chose Rodgers to be Brett Favre's successor, Not only did Green Bay pick Jordan Love, they made a trade to go up in the first round.
Decision that bothered Rodgers, since hours before he declared in the Pat McAfee Show: "We haven't picked a skill player in the first round in 15 years, so that would be great."
Rodgers fell into the arms of tequila to get through this moment.
In his appearance on the podcast 10 questions of The ringer, Rodgers spoke of analyzing the receivers who might be in the selection 30, with options to choose a receiver after Minnesota chose Justin Jefferson, who seemed his favorite, but Tee Higgins, Brandon Aiyuk, Michael Pittman Jr., among others, were still available, but then his general manager wrote to him that they raised and went for a quarternack.
"I did not love the selection, Especially after being one game away from reaching the Super Bowl, I felt that we were a couple of players away from achieving it, but at the same time I understand that it is a business, it is reality. Definitely, as much as people want to compare, in 2004 the Packers finished 10-6 and lost in the first round of the Playoffs, now we are 13-3 and a Super Bowl game, we won a home game and we won the division, plus Brett had already talked about retirement and I said I want to play until 40. And I fell at 24, they made a change to go up and choose Jordan".
Cutting a player who only had 10 receptions in 19 games with the Packers since 2018 shouldn't be a news item, but it was the case. Jake Kumerow. In May 2021, NFL Networkreported that the move made Rodgers explode, since the quarterback wanted to be more involved in the team's personnel decisions.
The Packers lost 31-26 to Tom Brady's Buccaneers, the fourth time Rodgers fell in the conference final.
After the game, the first strong message about his future arrived: "There are many uncertain futures, including mine. That's the saddest thing, when you get this far. It would end at some point, whether we made progress or not, but uncertainty is difficult and completion. There are many unknowns for this offseason. I'll have to get away for a while, clear my mind, and see what happens to everything. It's hard now, thinking about who they might not be with next year. Change is the only constant in this business. "
Speaking for the last time in the Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers reverted to his comment after losing to Tampa Bay.
"It was more the realization that my future is not in my control. That hit me in the moment. I was thinking about Aaron Jones and Corey Linsley, players who have no contracts and I don't know what the future holds for them, myself included. I can't think of a reason why he won't come back, but there are no absolutes in this business. So I said that thinking that nothing is a certainty and I guess that's why everyone went crazy. "
Before taking over Matthew Stafford, the Rams asked the Packers about Aaron Rodgers
After months of silence, Rodgers reappears to be the guest host of Jeopardy! after Alex Trebek's death, and one of the contestants mocking the mishandling of the clock in the NFC final,
Someone had to ask, right? @ AaronRodgers12? pic.twitter.com/UJ9Lt4Y5cM
? Danger! (@Danger) April 5, 2021
On the day of the 2021 Draft, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Rodgers told Packers officials that he doesn't want to go back to Green Bay.
Mark Schlereth of Fox Sports report whate Rodgers to Denver was 'almost a closed deal' and Jonathan Jones from CBS Sports reported that the Broncos are preparing an "impressive" deal to make the trade.
Days after the draft, Packers president Mark Murphy spoke on the team's website about the report prior to the first round of the draft.
"This is an issue that we have been working on for several months. Brian Gutekunst, Matt LaFleur and I have flown on several occasions to meet with Aaron. We are very aware of Aaron's concerns and have been working with him (and his agent Dave Dunn) to resolve them. We remain committed to Aaron in 2021 and beyond. "
Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports! reported that Rodgers considered go back to the Packers if they fire GM Brian Gutekunst.
NFL Network reports Rodgers' annoyance at not being considered in cutting Kumerow in September.
The athletic revealed the derogatory way the quarterback speaks of the team's general manager, Brian Gutekunst, in a team player chat, referring to Gutekunst as Jerry Krause, the architect of the Chicago Bulls of the nineties and who ended up being Jordan's 'enemy'.
According to a report by Mike Garafolo from NFL Network, the quarterback will have affected the free agency of his current team, trying to prevent his fellow free agents from signing a new contract.
"Before they make a decision, I will probably not be there", were the supposed words.
The NFL released the full schedule for the 2021 season and it appears at league offices. knew or trusted that the Packers and Rodgers will not separate, because it loses a lot of polish in games if Jordan Love or Blake Bortles is the starter of Green Bay in 5 Prime Time matches, plus one on Christmas Day, that the Packers had.
Aaron Rodgers did not show up to Packers camp for the OTAs, something he has never done in his career.
In an interview with Kenny Mayne's latest SportsCenter, Rodgers noted that his annoyance is not about having a young quarterback, Jordan Love, behind him, rather it is a matter of how he has managed the franchise
"With my situation, look, it's never been about the draft pick, picking Jordan. I love Jordan; he's a great guy. We had so much fun working together. I love the coaching staff, I love my teammates, I love the base of fans in Green Bay, an incredible 16 years. It's just kind of a problem of a philosophy and maybe forgetting that it's about the people who make things work. It's about character, it's about culture, it's about doing things the right way. "
After absent from voluntary workouts, the veteran quarterback missed the start of the Packers' mandatory mini-camp, the first time in his career who does not participate in these sessions.
Matt Schneidman of The athletic reported that there were some players who did not participate on Tuesday due to Covid or injury, But the only one who decided not to go was Rodgers. NFL Network reported that he did not participate in a meeting at 8:30 a.m. local time.
At an event at Lambeau Field honoring the memory of former team manager Ted Thompson, Mark Murphy was asked about Rodgers' future: "I am often reminded of Ted Thompson, as many know, the great manager who passed away this year, and I just said Aaron is complicated, not just Aaron, but several players. He used to say, 'He's a complicated guy.' I'll just say that ", declared Murphy in words compiled by NBC26.
Rodgers appeared at a press conference prior to The match, the golf game against Tom Brady and Phil Mickelson, but what caught the eye was the T-shirt he was wearing that said 'I'm Offended'.
Rodgers really got close to the presser in this shirt #CapitalOnesTheMatchpic.twitter.com/CTBfMWH6EA
? B / R Gridiron (@brgridiron) June 15, 2021
During the transmission of TNT, Tom Brady time and time again made fun of the 'divorce' between Rodgers and Packers, but most worrying were the words of the quarterback when asked if he would be with the team at the beginning of the preseason.
"I don't know, we'll see"Rodgers said.
According to reports by Adam Schefter of ESPN, during this holiday period between the last Super Bowl and the start of the next season, The Packers offered Aaron Rodgers a two-year contract extension, which would have 'tied' him to Green Bay for the next five years, but Rodgers declined.
DraftKings, PointsBet and Westgate removed bets on win totals for NFC North teams, including the Packers, from their boards by a alleged rumor of Rodgers retirement.
Rumors of Rodgers' return are growing. ESPN reports that the quarterback set conditions to return in 2021, the same ones that suggest that in 2022 he will no longer be in the team, similar to what Tom Brady did before leaving the Patriots.
The novel ends with the ending many anticipated: Rodgers back in 2021.
Since Green Bay chose Jordan Love, 2022 was the year indicated for the separation because two factors were combined: Rodgers' contract will no longer cost them as much, and at the end of the 2022 season, the Packers will have to decide whether to activate the fifth to the option of love, which is lower than the star marshals contracts, even more so with the new collective bargaining agreement. But to activate that option, they would have to see Love on the field for at least one season.
So the plan remains on course, even though several extra turns have been made along the way instead of taking the more direct route.
