It's Monday today (I know, I was vile of me to emphasize that), but... it also means we've survived one week of the NBI, hurray!
I think almost every sponsor wrote at least one advice post this past week, which made us end up with about enough food to publish a whole book. I first planned to post them here, but when I saw their large amount (28 and counting) I became struck with a sudden strike of laziness. You can always check them out here at the source, though.
At first I was a bit worried by the low amount of newbie blogs participating - I know some say that blogging is dead, but surely it isn't that dead?! - but as the week proceeded, more and more checked in, and now I'm having a day's job checking out all these new blogs.
I've made a special blogroll with NBI initiates which you can see to the right (scroll down a bit). Be sure to check them out and leave a comment if you have the time - I remember how much that motivated me when I was a newbie myself last year. I know there are a lot of blogs on there, but picking just one to leave a comment behind is already a great thing. And if you cannot choose, I'll help you a bit here.
Lyle's Grind: brand newly started and inspired by the NBI, Lyle's Grind certainly doesn't look at all repetitive as the title implies. Lyle writes about all sorts of games and mentions tribbles in a post, so this is a blog I cannot ignore.
The Cynic Dialogues: a recently revived blog in which Scree is currently investigating new games on the horizon. I'm enthusiastic about the prospect of another blogger who might get into TESO and for the most part just can't look away because the layout looks so darn nice.
Crucible Gaming: no official newbie of the NBI, but a new blog nevertheless that I discovered earlier this week. Much to my surprise, Sig writes about LotRO and SWTOR: my favourite subjects! A must-check for everyone interested in these games.
That was it, keep blogging, commenting and see you around with the NBI!
Blogging isn't really dead, it's just evolving. Twitter is really just microblogging. Tumblr is more suited for pure media than text based. Both have dedicated userbases. Traditional blog creation may be a bit lacking compared to a few years ago, but think about this: any time you go search Google for almost anything, a lot of your top hits that ARE NOT web-stores are blogs or non-mainstream news sites based on a blogging platform.
My relationship with the NBI is a weird one. I've been blogging for a long time and am able to offer my experience up as a mentor, however my gaming blog is brandspankinnew and could benefit from the NBI the same way a new blogger might. Thanks for the linkage!
Also, thanks for enabling NAME/URL in comments! Now I don't have to fuss with Google and Wordpress telling me I am in the wrong account all the time!
And the link is deserved, we totally can use some more SWTOR blogs out there!
I fear your joy about Anonymous posting may be short-lived, though. I have experimented with it before, but I usually get huge amounts of spam after a few days (as if the spammers discover it at a certain point and then all give the URL to each other, hehe), so I'm forced to disable it if that happens. Comment moderation is no option for me, because I want the conversation to flow without me having to approve stuff (comments are really something that keeps me enthusiastic for this blog). We will see how long it holds out this time.
Doesn't blogger have the ability to display a captcha for non-authenticated comments? That would help.
Thanks for the suggestion, but many people really dislike CAPTCHA (among them, me) and I've heard several say that they just stop commenting on blogs where they have to fill in CAPTCHA all the time. I know it's a big barrier for me as well, being someone who likes to leave comments left and right. The easier and faster it is to leave a comment on a blog, the more inclined I feel to do so.
Blogger could really use some updates in its comment section (there are more things that I feel are missing), but sadly I haven't seen any at all the past year. As it is now, it's either CAPTCHA for everyone, or it's a choice between allow Anonymous + accounts or accounts-only.

The E/F variant adds greater range and payload capability while vastly improving the Gripens' avionics. Perhaps the most important feature is the new British-built Selex Raven ES-05 active electronically scanned array radar , which replaces the old mechanically-scanned PS-05/A. The Gripen also has comprehensive networking capabilities. The new Gripen's maximum takeoff weight is increased to more than 36,000lbs up from around 31,000lbs for the C/D variant.

Francesco Chicchi will go for the sprints, and "a victory in the Giro could give him good confidence for the rest of the season and reward him for the great work he's been doing up to now," said sporting director Davide Bramati. He has four victories already this season, having won two stages in the Tour de San Luis, the Nokere Koerse and the Handzame Classic.
Dario Cataldo and Serge Pauwels will be the riders for the mountains and the general classification, and they will be supported by Marco Bandiera, Michal Golas, Nikolas Maes, and Martin Velits. Both Cataldo and Pauwels have done well in the Giro in the past. "Pauwels was a brilliant player in the race in 2009 and Cataldo stood out in the last editions, even coming close to a stage victory."
Two rides will be making their Grand Tour debuts will be Michal Kwiatkowski and Julien Vermote. "Michal will will try to put his skills as a time trial man to good use right away in the brief Prologue that will open the race, while Julien will gain some important experience in support of his teammates and it will be a significant investment for his future."
Bramati concluded: "Overall the team has all its cards in order to go for a stage victory and a good placing in the general classification."

Gaunt, William Henry (1830–1905)
by Austin Dowling
in the Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 4 , 1972
William Henry Gaunt (1830-1905), by unknown photographer
La Trobe Picture Collection, State Library of Victoria, H97.174
William Henry Gaunt (1830-1905), judge, was born on 27 July 1830 at Leek, Staffordshire, England, son of John Gaunt, banker, and his wife Mary, née Bakewell. Educated at Leek Grammar School and Whitchurch, Salop, he migrated to Melbourne, and entered the Victorian public service and was rapidly promoted. By March 1854 he was chief clerk at Beechworth, the administrative centre of the Ovens goldfield. In July 1855 the resident warden commended Gaunt as 'a highly valuable public servant' with an intimate knowledge of the district and the 'temper and disposition of the miners'. Appointed sub-warden in the Beechworth district in January 1856 and a Chinese protector in August, he was given control of the extensive Woolshed district. When European miners attacked a party of Chinese at the Buckland River diggings in May 1857 Gaunt was sent to restore order. One of his proclamations, issued in Chinese characters, concluded 'W. H. Gaunt, your protector—tremble and obey!' In June he was appointed a police magistrate and next month was sent to take charge at the Buckland where the Chinese had been expelled from the diggings; the police force assisting him was led by Robert O'Hara Burke. In January 1858 Gaunt was appointed a warden, in November was transferred to Chiltern, north of Beechworth, and in August 1859 was made a commissioner of crown lands.
In February 1860 Gaunt was appointed a coroner of Victoria, acting at Indigo, near Chiltern. In April 1865 he was transferred to Beechworth, became visiting justice of the gaol and later moved to Sandhurst. In January 1869 he was appointed returning officer for the mining district of Ballarat and visiting justice of the gaol. He was associated with this area for the rest of his life and won high repute for his integrity. In 1874 he chaired the inaugural meeting of the first Australian competitive swimming club. For years he studied law and was called to the Bar in December 1873. He was one of the many public servants dismissed by Graham Berry on 9 January 1878 (Black Wednesday). After petitioning the Queen in vain over his dismissal he began practice in Ballarat as a barrister. He soon became a leading authority on mining laws; one of the cases in which he was involved was the lengthy inquest on the bodies of the twenty-two miners drowned in the New Australasian mine disaster at Creswick in 1882. He was appointed a temporary judge of the Insolvency Court in 1889 and a County Court judge in 1891. In 1900 he was chairman of the royal commission which considered Metropolitan Board of Works matters, and in 1902 was president of the inquiry into the unification of municipalities in Victoria.
In 1860 Gaunt married Elizabeth Mary, the youngest daughter of Frederick Palmer; they had nine children. Of the surviving five sons and two daughters, Ernest Frederick Augustus and Guy Reginald Archer both became admirals and were knighted; Cecil Robert became a lieutenant-colonel, Clive Herbert a government advocate in Rangoon and Mary (Mrs H. L. Miller) one of the first women students to enrol at the University of Melbourne (1881), although she did not complete her degree; she became a successful novelist.
Gaunt died on 5 October 1905. An anonymous colleague said: 'I don't think he was ever excelled as a police magistrate, and during the many years he was on the County Court bench he earned the highest regard. His capacities were as unquestioned as his integrity, and more could not be said of any judge'.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to measure the Greek public healthcare delivery efficiency from a regional perspective by applying conditional nonparametric models. Methods: The study reviews the existing literature on performance measurement and proposes models on these grounds. By using data envelopment analysis (DEA) and free disposal hull (FDH) models, the performance of public health delivery services of the Greek prefectures is evaluated. The efficiency levels of the Greek prefectures are compared and analyzed in a regional context. By using convex and non-convex models alongside with bootstrap techniques and conditional full frontier applications the paper develops models for regional public health delivery policy evaluation. Results: The paper shows that higher levels of GDP per capita (GDPc) have a negative influence on the efficiency of regional healthcare delivery, indicating that regional economic growth does not ensure better healthcare delivery service. Furthermore the results reveal that population density increases the prefectures' efficiency of public health provision, indicating the over-supply of health services by urban hospitals. Finally, several healthcare delivery inefficiencies have been reported among the Greek prefectures emphasizing a poor state of healthcare delivery. Conclusions: The results indicate that after the reform of the Greek national healthcare system in 2000-2002, the absence of a unified healthcare policy was accompanied with misallocation of healthcare resources among the Greek prefectures creating socioeconomic health inequalities.

Casa Atletica Italiana in London
The Consortium of Parmigiano Reggiano is proud to support the Casa Atletica Italiana during the World Championships in Athletics in London from 4th to 13th August 2017. The Consortium is providing Parmigiano Reggiano cheese to the Casa Atletica Italiana, which is hosting the Italian Athletics Team as they compete at the World Championships. The wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano will be used to celebrate medal wins and nourish the athletes throughout the exhausting competition.
Parmigiano Reggiano is the perfect cheese to have on hand as it's highly nutritious and totally natural. It is very rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, making it essential in the diet of athletes, both professional and amateurs.
Parmigiano Reggiano is truly a complete food with remarkable qualities, formed during the long, natural ageing process. Besides being rich in calcium, phosphorus, trace elements and vitamins, it is highly digestible. It also has one of the lowest cholesterol levels of any cheese. Athletic coaches and sports dieticians have discovered the special contribution that Parmigiano Reggiano provides for the diet of athletes, because it is nutritious without being too fatty, and is easy to digest.
The Parmigiano Reggiano cheese will make the Italian Team, their coaches, journalists, institutional guests and VIPs feel like they are staying in an Italian house during the Championships. The Consortium of Parmigiano Reggiano want to wish the Italian Team the best of luck in the upcoming World Championships and hopes that the wheels of Parmigiano Reggiano can help play a small part in going for the gold.

In his new album Rewilding Richard Durrant strays closer than ever to the world of acoustic prog rock. Tracks such as "Step Gently" and "Big Fat Earth Worm" summon vast forces with Brian Gulland's bassoon and crumhorns weaving through Richard's guitars, cellos and hammond organ. But there are moments of delicacy too.
Here is a short film by Richard focussing on one particularly finely etched track – Forr All Mannkinne Nede (for the sake of all mankind) featuring four ukuleles & cello.
"This album was wholly inspired by the rise of the new earth sciences and the hope they bring to our damaged planet. In Rewilding I'm trying my hardest to acknowledge and to celebrate nature's offer of salvation."
Richard continues:
"Because this new music is so closely linked to the natural world the official release date I've chosen is Halloween (which is also Samhein, the day that marks the end of the Celtic year). This day signals the start of winter – a time of peace, reflection and magic.""
Spotify & Apple Music synchronise for a Sussex, Halloween Sunset
Rewilding will go live on all streaming platforms at 4.37pm on 31st October (that is sunset in Sussex on Halloween). You can pre-order the music using the various links below, and the music will go live as the sun sets on launch day.

Only five per cent of UK millennial investors use robo-advice services, with human expertise being preferred over AI technology.
Results from GlobalData's recent 'UK Investors Survey' showed face-to-face communication is the primary method for arranging the buying and selling of investments.
Using an independent financial advisor is the most preferred method, accounting for 37 per cent, with a financial planner with their main bank/financial institution accounting for 27 per cent.
Wealth Management Analyst at GlobalData, Sergal Woldemichael said digital services provided advantages for wealth managers, but pigeonholing millennials as the digital generation isn't accurate.
"Robo-advisors can reach new demographics such as the mass affluent, as well as offering operational efficiencies through the automation of tasks," Woldemichael says.


A completely affordable wedding guest look using drugstore brands!
Myself and Eric were invited to our first "friend wedding" as a couple, along with our close group of friends; it was a very special day for us. Almost like meeting a "couple's milestone". I was really looking forward to the day and planned my whole look in advance, so I wanted to show it off! I also like to pride myself on using "cheap" and affordable products, so anyone could replicate this look!
I primed my face using my Collection Prime & Ready in the shade Cool Rose as a base on my whole face, along with Benefit The Porefessional Matte Rescue around my T-Zone. I used the Revlon Colorstay for combination/oily skin in the shade Buff. On my under-eye dark circles and pesky spots I used my trusty Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Fair. I set my face with the Rimmel Clear Clarifying Powder and quickly primed my lips with Lip Tar as I knew I wanted long lasting lipstick later on. I forgot to add it in the photo, but I also used my Soap & Glory 2 in 1 Archery Brow Pencil in the shade Brownie Points.
Moving onto my favourite part of this look... the eyes! I wanted my eyes to be the "feature" of my face, going for a very shimmering pink look. I used the 3 shades out of the Sleek eye shadow palette in Enchanted Forest. I started with "Anastasia" in my crease and outer corner, focusing a lot on blending. The "Fairy Godmother" is a stunning pink shimmer, which I used all over my lid. I brightened my inner corner with "Glass Slipper" and blended it slightly to the centre of my lid too. I used my Collection Extreme 24hr Felt Tip Liner to create a wing, and lined my waterline with the Laqa & Co Eyelighter. I used the Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara and wore my Eylure Petite (another I forgot to photograph).
I finished with the rest of my face. I contoured the hollows of my cheeks, my forehead and nose with the Revolution Pro HD Contour Palette using only the 2 bottom left shades. I also slightly shaded in just below my lower lip to give the effect of fuller lips. I used the Benefit GoGo Tint on the apples of my cheeks, and the Peach shade from the Sleek Solstice Highlighting Palette on my cheekbones, brow bone and cupids bow. For my lips, I kept it simple with the Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Colour in Flirt which is super long lasting - especially with the lip tar I primed with earlier!
I curled my hair using my GHD Straighteners, and just before I left, I ended up pinning the left side of my hair back, for a more sophisticated look.
My dress was only £35.00 from Boohoo and my bag and shoes were both from Primark, so I couldn't have been happier with how I looked for that price.
We had an absolutely amazing day, filled with too much food, tears and laughter. I can't wait for the next wedding!

"It's me, Zen Luo. I want to speak with Martin, if I might, please?" stated Zen as he neared the door.
As the light from the torches shone on Zen, the two soldiers could see it was him, and there was a look of shock on each man's face. With a grateful tone, one of the guards said, "Hey brother! I can't believe it. You're alive! Thank goodness!"
The two were soldiers of the Green Haze group, or more accurately, surviving members of the troop!
Usually, Martin's battle plans were impressive, and he took many precautions, so he never jeopardized the lives of soldiers in his platoon, and there was rarely a death under his command.
However, in the battle that day, dozens of soldiers perished, which was a terrible blow to the Green Haze group.
The survivors knew that if Zen hadn't drawn the queen blade locust away, none of them would have survived.
If Martin were the only one to have drawn the queen away, she would've caught up to the troops after killing Martin.
Thus, it was Zen's sacrifice that saved the rest of them.
So, the survivors would be eternally grateful for what Zen did!
Until just now, they all thought Zen died. So, they were astounded at his safe return!
The soldiers knew that Zen was an outer disciple from the Cloud Sect, and although he was only at the marrow refining level, Zen was stronger than other disciples at that same level. Even with his strength though, the gap between his power and that of the queen blade locust was immense. They didn't know how Zen escaped.
"Zen, the captain isn't at the camp," one of the soldiers informed Zen.
Wondering why, Zen asked, "Wait, you mean he hasn't come back?"
"Oh, no, he came back, but...?" the soldier broke off his reply, not sure whether or not he should disclose the truth.
Seeing the soldier's concerned look, Zen was confused and asked, "But what? What happened?"
"Zen, the captain was... locked up!" announced the soldier in a sad tone as he bowed his head.
Zen frowned and in a deeper timbre asked, "Locked up? But, why?"
"Yesterday, someone changed our regular marching route. It must've been someone who intended for us to travel a more dangerous trail," the soldier stopped relating what had occurred, inhaling before he suddenly furrowed his brows indignantly and with an inflection of resentment in his voice said, "Captain Martin went to the higher-ups and complained, angering his superior officer. So, he was arrested. I'm afraid they will punish him for insubordination accordingly, by martial law..."
'How did this happen?' speculated Zen. What the soldier had conveyed to him, irritated Zen.
Someone had intentionally changed their route, endangering all of the troops in the Green Haze platoon, and almost succeeded in getting them all killed! The disciples from the Cloud Sect, Roger, Sun, and Zen almost died, while a single slash from the queen blade locust brutally destroyed poor Tank!
Examining the events in his mind, Zen became infuriated!
Granted, Zen had only known Martin for a short time, but, he appreciated Martin's leadership skills. On top of that,
When her sister ran away from the wedding, Autumn was forced to marry Charles.
His name had been linked to innumerable ladies.
He had different girlfriends for every day of a year.
Autumn had never thought that she would fall in love with him.
any given situation.
It was okay if Roger helped Martin as long as it didn't lead to trouble for him, but, it was stupid to provoke anyone from the Zhuge Clan just to assist Martin.
Zen's dare was transparent. How could he think Roger wouldn't know his true intentions?
Warily, Zen chuckled and pleaded, "Roger, help me this one time, please. I'll remember the kindness from you and the Meng Clan!"
Shaking his head, Roger Meng responded, "Zen, I'll admit, you're talented, but, that isn't enough of a reason for me to help you."
In all honesty, Roger wanted to befriend Zen, who was an uncommon genius even for Cloud Sect and might very well be an influential figure in the future, but, the future was far off, and after weighing the pros and cons Roger decided he couldn't help Zen.
Offending Fren for Zen's sake would be a stupid move in Roger's opinion.
Sure, if Zen were an invincible master already, Roger would help him, but Zen wasn't.
Despite Zen exhibiting an exceptional talent for refining, he could end up in an abyss for offending anyone in the top seven noble clans.
Just then, a look crossed Zen's face, and he reached into his space ring and pulled out the crystal core he had gotten from the queen blade locust. He waved it in front of Roger and Sun, exclaiming, "Roger, no one saved me yesterday. The queen blade locust is dead, because of me. That loony Fren tried to get me killed several times until now, and yet, I'm still alive! I'm bound to rise higher in the future! I'm confident I'll be in a position to help the Meng Clan, one day!"
The fist-sized crystal core gleamed brightly in Zen's hand, reflecting light onto Zen's proud, young face!
Zen's words sounded impertinent, but exuded confidence.
Seeing the crystal core in Zen's hand shocked Roger.
It wasn't that Roger cared about a crystal core, but, the fact that Zen had it meant the queen blade locust was dead! While it wasn't clear whether or not Zen killed the queen blade locust himself, it was obvious that Zen was somehow connected to her demise!

It's a possibility that President Trump was bluffing to achieve greater bargaining strength in the immigration debate. However, if the parties are unable to come to an agreement over immigration, and a government shutdown resulted, it seems likely that Trump would get the brunt of the blame. The majority of people blamed President Trump and Republican Senators for the last shutdown. If another shutdown occured, it could mean a windfall for Democrats in the 2018 midterm elections.
If Congress is unable to pass a spending bill by this Friday at midnight, the government will shutdown for the first time since 2013. With elections looming in 2018 and presidential elections in 2020, Parties and the President must decide whether it would be better to allow a government shutdown then to cede their policy concerns. The spending bill is currently stalled over immigration issues. A bipartisan proposal was recently rejected by President Trump, who wanted stronger restrictions on immigration and more funding for his border wall. The Democrats meanwhile are unwilling to cede on certain immigration issues, such as an easier path to citizenship for the dreamers. So the question is then, if the current stalemate were to result in a government shutdown, which party would it reflect poorly on?
President Trump recently tweeted that "the Democrats want to shut down the Government over Amnesty for all and Border Security." Meanwhile, Democrats are claiming that the President is racist, citing his "shithole" comment. In 2013, both parties tried to blame the other for the government shutdown. Therefore, it is possible that no party will look good in light of a government shutdown. But the President might: Trump has tweeted before that the government needs a good shutdown, and indeed, the comment is in line with the anti-government rhetoric upon which he ran. It may be that the Republican party will be harmed by a government shutdown, however if Trump comes out unharmed, it won't matter.
Congressmen from both the Republican and Democratic parties are condemning the President's comment on the bipartisan immigration bill. Trump reportedly questioned why we were accepting immigrants from "shithole countries" such as Haiti. Both Republican and Democratic congressmen have stated that the comment was offensive and unacceptable. There has been an international reaction to the comment as well: the United Nations Human Rights Office said the comment was "xenophobic," and the African Continental Body said the comment was "alarming." Trump now denies that he made the comment.
Though his comment was offensive, it is certainly not the first offensive comment the President has made. One can hope that this comment will be the proverbial straw that will finally break the Country's, and Republican's, tolerance of the President, but that much remains to be seen.
Is Trump Losing his Political Identity?
Two events have caused commentators to question President Trump's political identity. The first is the meeting on immigration he held with both Democrats and Republicans. Some are saying the President, in an effort to prove his competence, came off as a yes-man, agreeing with conflicting assertions proposed by both parties, and allowing for pork barreling by the congressmen. Trump's behavior at the meeting has received push back from republican icons such as Ann Coulter. who said he "agree[d] with whatever the last person who sp[oke] . . . . said." The second event is President Trump's announcement that he will be attending the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Though Trump's press secretary has said he is attending the conference to talk about "America first" policy, his attendance contradicts the anti-elitist base upon which he ran for the Presidency. Therefore, Americans should be left confused at to what President Trump stands for.
It is unclear how this confusion will affect Trump's support, but it may be to his advantage. If Republican Congressmen are unwilling to scrutinize the President, then they need only a few examples of his fitness to justify their support. Though the President's behavior may be contradictory, it is just the sort of smoke bomb he needs to buy himself some time.
This article reports on the backlash President Trump has received from Ann Coulter following his recent move away from a harsh immigration policy. Comments like Ann Coulter's "who DOESN'T want Trump impeached?" may seem like litte more than trash talk, but they could represent declining support from the President's base.

Who pays for the 'humanitarian interventions' and who walks away with the profits?
With over 35 military interventions in over 27 countries since 1980 a question that needs to be asked and answered is who is declaring these 'wars', who are paying for it and who walks away with the profits? Trillions of dollars in debt, generations having to pay for the wars, multicultural corporations and associates benefiting while the world is no safer in fact none of the promised 'peace' has been forthcoming. Where are we going wrong and how do we stop this madness?
The latest 'war' is against the ISIS that campaign has cost $1billion already.
The Syrian 'war' to oust President Assad give the following statistics:
an all-out invasion, costing up to $300 billion a year and requiring 200,000 to 300,000 troops.
sophisticated cruise missiles, which fly as far as 1,000 miles, evade radar and explode within feet of their targets, costs about $1.1 million
US would have to spend at least $500 million a year to train and assist the foreign-backed militants fighting against the Syrian government (Army General Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff)
a no-fly zone over parts of Syria would cost at least $500 million to begin with and could cost a whopping $1 billion per month to maintain.
War against Gaddafi/Libya
The first few weeks of the operation in Libya cost about $600 million, $340 million of which went to munitions. Each Tomahawk Land Attack Missile costs $1.4 million.
Refuelling tankers cost $9.3 million in the Libya operation for more than 800 hours of flight.
The cost of operating the no-fly zone over Libya alone could cost the U.S. an estimated $30 million to $100 million a week, a study by the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments found.
The U.S. has also promised $25 million in non-lethal aid to the Libyan Transitional National Council, half of which the Defense Department has already on MRE's (military lingo for Meals, Ready to Eat).
patrolling Libyan air space at $30-100 million per week (Joseph Mulloy – trade publication Inside the Navy)
federal government is borrowing about $4 billion per day from lenders like China
War against Iraq
Cost of Iraq war (2003-2010) has been placed at $1.1trillion by Brown University
Department of Defense's direct spending on Iraq totaled at least $757.8 billion
We should expect as American citizens that this would cost at least $100 billion for a two-year involvement. (Tim Rossert)
According to a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report published in October 2007, the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could cost taxpayers a total of $2.4 trillion by 2017
Joseph Stiglitz, former chief economist of the World Bank and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, and Linda Bilmes of Harvard University, have stated the total costs of the Iraq War on the US economy will be three trillion dollars in a moderate scenario
U.S. medical and disability claims for veterans after a decade of war had risen to $134.7 billion from $33 billion two years earlier.
As of March 2006, approximately £4.5 billion had been spent by the United Kingdom in Iraq.
According to the Ministry of Defence, the total cost of UK military operations in Iraq from 2003 to 2009 was £8.4bn
Add the costs on Afghanistan, Bosnia, Sierra Leone, Haiti and we will not know what we have achieved for the amount spent. More than 5,800 American military service members have been killed in Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom since 2001.
5% of the world's population is trying to cover fifty percent of the world's military bills with only a quarter of the world's wealth. (Inside the Navy publication)
The cost of Britain's interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan has reached almost £30bn – or £1,000 for every taxpayer in the country
UK's contribution to the US-led campaign in the country between 2006 and 2013 was £19.59bn
The cost of operations in Iraq between 2003 and 2009 was £9.56bn (Royal United Services Institute)
On any given day, the United States has over 350,000 of its 1.5 million military personnel deployed abroad, and that does not include hundreds of thousands of civilians, both members of the civil service and contractors.

While US Government declares 'war' and militarily intervenes upon nations with its Allies claiming intervention is 'humanitarian' the cost of these illegal invasions are burdening the tax payers while the private corporations walk off with all the profits.
The military industrial complex walks away with the cake!
Democratic and Republicans have privatized US foreign policy by outsourcing key military functions to private corporations – the Iraq and Afghan contracts given to Halliburton is a whopping $13billion which is more than twice the cost of the 1st Gulf War upon the US tax payer.
US uses private military corporations to train foreign armies, provide strategic advice and monitor peace keeping. PMCs are used in Kosovo, Bosnia, Croatia, Bolivia, Peru, Colombia, ME and Africa.
A partial list of PMC client states include Angola, Australia, Canada, Colombia, Congo, Croatia, Great Britain, France, Liberia, Oman, Papua New Guinea, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Sudan and US.
Arms sales are a leading US export. American arms manufacturers have two major channels through which they can sell major weaponry to foreign countries: foreign military sales ("FMS"), in which a government-to-government agreement is negotiated by the Pentagon; and direct commercial sales ("DCS"), in which industry negotiates directly with the purchasing country and must apply for a license from the State Department. In 2008, DCS totaled $105 billion while Defense (FMS) helped with another $11 billion.

US arms manufacturers – Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon have delivered shattering returns to their investors, CEOs and investment banks. In the past three years alone, Raytheon has returned 124%, Northrup Grumman 114% and Lockheed Martin 149% to their investors.
The military industrial complex is a powerful lobby and continues to press for new wars to sustain Pentagon's huge budget. Diplomatic peace deals in the Middle East leads to nothing other than land grabs, reduction or curtailing new weapons transfers, undermining pretexts to sanction or attack countries who are considered rivals in the region.
A study by Morgan Stanley – declares that shares in major US arms manufacturers have risen 27,699% over the past 50 years vs 6,777% for the broader market.
The calls to reduce defense spending has resulted in the closure of scores of Veterans Administration hospitals, reduction in retiree benefits on the pretext of fighting fraud, poor quality service and these have been passed on to the 'private sector'. It is estimated that over $900billion has been spent on long-term VA medical and disability services for veterans of Afghan and Iraq wars.
The US pays for the wars by raising taxes and or selling war bonds. All the current wars are from borrowed money which has raised the US budget deficit, increased national debt and caused macroeconomic results. Interest has to be paid on borrowed money. That interest from 2001-2013 has been $316billion. It is estimated that by 2023 interest payments may reach $1trillion and by 2053 $7trillion. US has also invested in Homeland Security – $470billion.
US expenditure for US Veterans is nearly $160b for medical care and disability for 2million veterans. These veterans will continue to be paid and that will amount to a further $1trillion over next 30-40years. 75 percent of the fallen in these wars come from working class families. They do not need war. They pay the cost of the war.
Given that there is no sight of peace another good question is what could have been done with the money being spent on these 'military interventions'. While critics would jump to say the military interventions have provided jobs, could jobs have not been provided for other areas?
Why should America be bothered about the suffering of natives in other countries when America should look after its citizens first. America is not looking after its citizens by burdening them with taxes and interest payments for wars that have reaped no result except for a handful of the same people benefiting throughout the interventions that have taken place. Dick Cheney the former Vice President of US was the former CEO of defense contractor Halliburton!
The military industry complex are private beneficiaries and they are controlling how the US state is run. Every thing ends up a private-run program – Homeland Security educational degrees, secret intelligence programs, counterintelligence – there are 16 spy agencies employing 107,035 employees in the US. 1million are employed in other private intelligence corporations outsourced by the US state.
Thus, the contractors are walking away with trillions of dollars from false wars. Contractors have had a windfall profiting from producing to replacement to even providing ready-to-eat meals. These are all going to private companies. Would it be a surprise that lobbyists are also chipping in by ensuring the momentum for wars are kept solid.
What have the American public or the public of UK got from these military interventions that benefit the people? Nothing.
The private companies that have secured the contracts end up manufacturing arms, selling them to both parties and profiting both locally and in the countries that have been militarily invaded.
The current 'wars' or humanitarian interventions are not State Foreign Policies but Corporate Policies made by the State and that is why we cannot make any sense of the reasons or objectives other than profit.
It is time the public of the world woke up to realize these ground realities and stop falling prey to lobbyists who are the newest entrants into the system paid to fool the people's representatives by handouts that have become easy manipulators in a world where anything and everything is done for money.
– by Shenali D Waduge
1 Response to Who pays for the 'humanitarian interventions' and who walks away with the profits?
Its obvious the same country that control's the UN is the same country that creates problem goes for peace and walks away with billions of dollars that is the Americans

Where is Shia LaBeouf?
Shia Labeouf is one of the class of successful vacation celebrities who didn't have it easy growing up but he's made a name for himself today's aggressive film market. Just have a look at some names in his filmography. Others include, 2004 I, Robot; Disturbia at 2007 and as Sam Witwicky from the Transformers movie show from 2007 to 2011. He's also done voice-over functions like at Surf's Up, where he did the voice of Cody Maverick. Shia LaBeouf has been able to disperse his acceptance across viewers of all age brackets but is particularly popular with the younger viewers. This is a purpose of the film roles he's accepted and needless to say, his inherent ability at doing them.
Looks like Shia and Mia may have gotten a new dog. Wondering if that means Shia's old dog Brando has passed 😢

Shia LaBeouf Wiki, Bio
His lifetime was't the simplest growing up, was born the only child to a Jewish mother and a Christian dad. His mom Shayna LaBeouf (previously Saide) held several occupation descriptions at various times. Most especially as a dancer and ballerina then later as a clothes jewellery designer and visual artist. His dad Jeffery Craig LaBeouf had exactly the exact same multi-functionality attribute and has been a Vietnam war veteran. Shia, who explains his parents since hippies grew up about Christian and Jewish customs. And he regularly celebrated ceremonies from the worlds. Money was hard to find from the LaBeouf home. His parents struggled to make ends meet but finally split largely because of fiscal factors. Shia LaBeouf began performing comedy for his family , mimicking his dad. This was his method of managing his parents' split but after being motivated by a fellow child actor, he soon realised that it might be a way out of poverty. From acting around his neighbourhood from Echo Park to scoring gigs in stand-up humor clubs in age 10, Shia slowly honed his craft. He got himself a supervisor off the Yellow Pages by pretending to be his own boss. Shia's schooling largely came from tutors however he'd attend Alexander Hamilton High School and 32nd Street Visual and Performing Arts Magnet at Los Angeles (LAUSD). His first shot at acting eventually came in the early 2000s, when he landed the role of Louis Stevens from the weekly schedule Stevens which aired on the Disney Channel. The role will afterwards fetch him a Daytime Emmy Award. He started his filmmaking account using a brief film titled Permit 's Love Hate and Maniac he worked on together with his friend and rapper, Cage. He'd later team up with Cage and Kid Cudi on a few of the music videos at a directing capability. Shai LaBeouf has witnessed a great deal of success in amusement, particularly from his acting characters. He's received wide praise for his performance as a teen under home arrest in the film Disturbia, winning a Teen Choice Award for Choice Movie Breakout Male because of his or her efforts.

Before this moment, nevertheless Shia LaBeouf was at a litany of connections with numerous female actors since 2004. China Brezner, Isabel Lucas, Megan Fox and Carey Mulligan are merely a couple of the titles which come into mind. LaBeouf is at a fiscally competent circumstance and until now still completely supports his parents financially. He speaks publicly about his love for his mother, whom he spent the majority of his time after his parents split.

"Welcome, Christmas, bring your cheer. Cheer to all Whos far and near. Christmas Day is in our grasp, so long as we have hands to clasp."
-Narrator, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" (1966)
How the Grinch Stole Christmas is a holiday story originally written by Dr. Seuss in 1957. The story follows the meanness of the Grinch and his distaste for the Christmas holiday as tries to steal Christmas but later realizes that Christmas isn't about the tangible. This is a feel-good story that criticizes the commercialization of Christmas and the prevalence of human cheer. It's a cute holiday favourite.
There were quite a few adaptations of this story including a video game but the most well-known ones are the 1966 TV short and the 2000 film. Most of us have watched these movies about an Ebenezer Scrooge character trying to steal Christmas away from a bunch of happy Who's. As we're nearing Christmas, sharing Christmas cheer with a Christmas classic would provide some Christmas cover fun. Here's the soundtrack for the 2000 and 1966 versions if you're feeling nostalgic.
The film (2000) and the TV short (1966) adaptations had one song in common "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch". The lyrics were written by Dr. Seuss and then sung by Thurl Ravenscroft (1966) and Jim Carrey (2000).
How the Grinch Stole Christmas Covers
Here is a handful of phenomenal covers, for your audio pleasure. These range from classical, to punk, to jazz, to instrumental. Enjoy.
Jordan Smith provides a fantastic cover with amazing vocals. Accompanied by a large orchestra, the song sounds amazing. Together it's a powerful song.
Famous for a century does a hard punk cover. The vocals are deep and smooth. Combined with the hard rock instrumentals, it's a captivating cover or "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch".
The Moonshiners covered "You're a Mean One Mr. Grinch" with an awesome jazzy feel. Her vocals are phenomenal with good control over range and pitch. It's a cover you can definitely dance to.
Alex Heflin provides an acoustic cover that sounds beautiful. He combines several instruments to create a mesmerizing cover perfect for the holidays.
Small Town Titans give a mind-blowing cover of "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch". They describe it as a "dark, bluesy, sinister version." And they're right. The hard rock instrumental and the deep vocals give an amazing new sound to the song.
"I'm glad he took our presents. You can't hurt Christmas, Mr. Mayor, because it isn't about the… the gifts or the contest or the fancy lights. That's what Cindy's been trying to tell everyone… and me. I don't need anything more for Christmas than this right here: my family."
-Cindy Lou Who, How the Grinch Stole Christmas 2000
Let me know what you think about the Grinch in the comments and have a great Holiday Season!

Interview with Secret Chapter from Secret Chapter
by JoJo Hamilton at 27 October 2019, 7:46 AM
In the late days of 2017, they decided to gather this crazy collection of good friends and musicians who all share the same passion for powerful music. After years in various bands and projects they finally had the time and effort to work and create a band together. They decided to call this band SECRET CHAPTER! As last year went by a lot of hours were spent to rewrite, record, produce and finalize old songs that was mostly written but has now brand new and exiting clothes. They decided to name our first album "Chapter One." Working together with Andy La Rocque (King Diamond) at Sonic Train Studios who did an amazing job producing, mixing and mastering, they couldn't be more happy with the end result. Metal Temple writer JoJo Hamilton recently caught up with the band.
Hi, Thank for performing this interview for Metal Temple Magazine!
"Always believe in yourself and stay safe! Rock on!!"
Your debut album Chapter One was released on 18th October 2019, how does it feel now the albums been released?
SC: It´s very exciting and busy days to be honest, but we have always time to do an interview with Metal Temple Magazine! We didn't rush anything doing this album as we also do other projects and bands, but we are absolutely happy with the end result and the way it turned out! The collaboration with Andy La Rocque as co producer was great and he did a really good job mixing and mastering for us! So yes, we are happy, proud and excited these days to show our music to the world!
What or who inspired you to write the lyrics for the song One Night Ain't Enough?
SC: Hehe the lyrics is actually based on a love story between the drummer Ronny and his wife Elin! They met on a rock concert and fell in love at first sight! So there you have it, one night weren't enough for them!
You did a lot of work on the album Chapter One with Andy LaRocque, will the band continue to work with him on future albums & why did you choose him to be co-producer of the album?
SC: Andy is a great well-known international musician as well as a great producer and all over a great guy! He is also a friend of ours, so the choice was really easy when we were deciding who's going to do the mix and master on the album! As mentioned earlier we are really happy with the end result and the way the album sounds so we are looking forward to work with Andy once again in the future!
What has been you're favourite part of the making of the album Chapter One?
Just good friends working and spending a lot of hours together and assemble old material and then present it in brand new and exciting clothes!
Heavy Metal Love Affair is my personal favourite song from the album, what's been yours and why?
SC: So cool to hear that! This is actually a gathering of all the classic clichés we could put together in one song and we did it as good as possible at the time he he.
How long were you guys in the studio during the recording of Chapter One?
SC: 2017-2019 approximately!
The album Chapter One is quite a thought provoking album, What is the general theme you had in mind when writing the album?
SC: The album contains 10 songs and they all have their own identity and were written as we felt at the time they were created! That is also one of the reasons why we called the album "Chapter One"!
Sin City sounds like a party hard type of song, do you have the "work hard, play hard" attitude?
SC: "Sin City" is absolutely a tribute to the hard rock music and party culture of Sunset Strip in the great 80´s yes!
The album Chapter One is a deep & emotional album, who wrote the powerful lyrics for the songs?
SC: We all contribute on every aspect of the music, but as a vocalist I worked a lot with Stian and we had a great time working together on the lyrics for this album. We worked fast but carefully and wrote a lot of the lyrics based on emotions and how we felt it that day!
Who designed the album cover for Chapter One and will they design future album covers?
SC: On "Chapter one" we worked with the great Mattias Norén! We had a great collaboration and we are really happy about the end result and he is all over a great guy! We are looking forward to work with him again in the future!
Thank you to Secret Chapter for taking the time to perform this interview for Metal Temple Magazine, a great debut album, well done guys & best wishes for the future.

The Animals of Lockwood Manor by Jane Healey #20BooksofSummer22 #Netgalley
Winner of the HWA Debut Crown Award 2020
Some secrets are unspoken. Others are unspeakable . . .
August 1939. As the Second World War looms, thirty-year-old Hetty Cartwright is tasked with the evacuation and safekeeping of the natural history museum's famous collection of mammals. But once she and her exhibits arrive at Lockwood Manor, Hetty soon realizes that she's taken on more than she'd bargained for . . .
Protecting her priceless animals from the irascible Lord Lockwood and resentful servants is hard enough, but when a series of mysterious events occur, Hetty begins to suspect someone – or something – is stalking her through the darkened corridors of the gothic mansion.
As her fears build, Hetty finds herself falling under the spell of Lucy, Lord Lockwood's beautiful but haunted daughter. But why is Lucy so traumatized? Does she know something she's not telling? And is there any truth to local rumours of ghosts and curses?
Ostensibly about the move of the mammal section of the museum's collection to Lockwood Manor at the onset of World War II. Which is an interesting fact that the author has based the book around. (See link below)
There is a spooky element to the story, a thread that runs through the book and which gradually gives the background to the daughter, Lady Lucy Lockwood, of the house's state of mind and why she has such a fidelity to her father, Major Lord Lockwood.
Furthermore, strange things happen to the collection which strikes up a bond between her and the museum's representative, Miss Hettie Cartwright, at Lockwood. Their friendship deepens and as all of this happens we learn about the darker side of the Major.
This is not a thrill seeking, haunted house story that it seems some readers expected but a story of breaking free from pasts that have made life difficult. For Lucy it is an atmospherically dark exploration of what was really happening in her childhood. For Hettie dealing with her status at work amongst men who make her feel inadequate and a failure simply because she is a woman and that her inability to stand up to this was likely made possible by her mother's attitude and their relationship.
It is the story of the growing bond between the two main characters that, for me, stands out. Along with what transpires regarding the Major. In a time when some women found a brief freedom from the expectation of marriage and running a house through various war work it could still be very difficult to be a woman pursuing a career. Even more so a woman coming to terms with and wanting a relationship that could, would have dire consequences in work, in society and with family. This is a love story which is set in unusual circumstances and does not always go smoothly. It is also a subtly dark tale of manipulation and power in relationships.
The Animals of Lockwood Manor offers readers a variety of threads to enjoy the different aspects of the book, it has characters that are not all likeable, the pace can be slow but it has a tension at times that is quite uncomfortable. The more I read the more I enjoyed this rather strange but engaging story.
Thanks: Many thanks to the publisher Mantle for an eCopy of The Animals of Lockwood Manor by Jane Healey for review. I have also purchased the eBook.

YOU CAN COME EARLY and leave late at Machu Picchu in the hopes of having the sacred ruins to yourself, or you can visit Choquequirao, about 27 miles (44 km) away as the condor flies, or about 62 miles (100 km) via walking path. (The latter entails a nine-day journey that many people use to explore the complex of Inca trails in the region.) Bingham discovered this ruin, too, when locals led him to Machu Picchu.
Vastly undervisited compared to its sister site, Choquequirao sometimes sees as few as 30 visitors a day. Yet it is an even larger complex than Machu Picchu, and most of it is still being excavated and cataloged. About a third of the site has been restored since serious work began on it in the 1970s.
The settlement was built in the same time period as Machu Picchu, roughly the middle of the 15th century, and is thought to have been a place of final refuge for the Inca resisting the Spanish. The site's most iconic feature is the limestone-and-granite terrace stairway that leads to its main plaza. The steps are inlaid with white rock llamas, showing the path they took to supply workers with food and construction materials. Other buildings and structures in the complex are thought to have been planned with astrological significance.

Presidential Proclamation Declares Centennial Year of PH Cinema with FDCP as Lead Agency
The Film Development Council of the Philippines has been designated as the lead agency for the celebration of the Centennial Year of Philippine Cinema from September 12, 2019 to September 11, 2020.
Pursuant to Presidential Proclamation 622 Series of 2018, the Centennial Year of Philippine Cinema was declared in honor of Dalagang Bukid by Jose Nepomuceno, considered the first Filipino-produced and directed feature film. It was released in Sept 12, 1919. "The One Hundred Years of Philippine Cinema is a once-in-a-lifetime celebration in honor of the journey of this incredible art form and cultural marker. Film is a part of every Filipino as one of the most accessible and affective mediums that tell our stories, struggles, victories, and our growth as a people. We are grateful to the Office of the President for recognizing the importance of this milestone," said FDCP Chairperson and CEO Liza Diño. "We look forward to commemorating Sandaan, as we call this celebration, not just with our fellow government agencies, but with all sectors of society. We encourage each and every Filipino to join us continue the legacy of our Cinema and look forward to the next hundred years." she added.
Starting this year, the Agency has organized the Sandaan National Organizing Committee with key government agencies and institutions such as the National Commission on Culture and the Arts, Cultural Center of the Philippines, MTRCB, Optical Media Board, Film Academy of the Philippines, UP Film Institute, De La Salle College of Saint Benilde and local and regional film festivals in the country. The activities for the year for Sandaan will be in line with themes of knowledge production, education, exhibition and international events.
In anticipation of the celebration and through the efforts of FDCP, the One Hundred Years of Philippine Cinema has already been integrated in the Agency's activities and events through the conduct of the Sandaan Conferences, a series of lectures and talks featured in its partnerships with local and regional film festivals in the country. In 2017, the Agency also partnered with the UP Film Institute for Sandaan: Philippine Cinema Centennial Conference. It has also been recognized by international film festivals and markets by declaring the Philippines as the Country of Focus in the Osaka Asian Film Festival, Focus on Asia Fukuoka International Film Festival in Japan, Far East Film Festival in Udine, Italy, Busan International Film Festival in South Korea, Exground Film Festival in Wiesbaden, Germany, and Singapore Media Festival in Singapore. Featured in these are retrospectives of films, exhibits and educational talks that highlight the journey of Philippine Cinema to where it is today.
As 2019 approaches, the Agency and the National Organizing Committee will enjoin various sectors to ensure the nationwide celebration of the centennial event.
