WWE 's Macho Man Randy Savage,58 has dies in a car accident after suffering a heart attack. He was driving in his car with his wife when he suffered a heart attack leading him to crash his car. His wife is ok.
Macho Man Randy Savage — one of the greatest wrestlers of all-time — died today in a car accident in Seminole, Florida … TMZ has learned.
TMZ spoke with Randy's brother, Lanny Poffo, who tells us the wrestling legend suffered a heart attack while he was behind the wheel around 9:25 AM … and lost control of his vehicle.
Earlier this month, Savage celebrated his 1-year anniversary with his new wife Lynn.
Savage was 58.
Macho Man began wrestling in the WWF in 1985 and became a superstar with his trademark catchphrase "Ooooooh Yeaahhhhh." Savage was so popular, he became the spokesperson for Slim Jim in the mid '90s … and became virtually synonymous with the brand.

Savage was transported to Largo Medical center, where he died from his injuries.
Savage's wife was a passenger in the vehicle during the collision — but survived with "minor injuries." She was transported to a different local hospital where she was treated.

PITTSBURGH (AP) Bryan Rust has helped carry the Pittsburgh Penguins with Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin out of the lineup.
Rust scored twice in regulation and got the lone goal in the shootout, and the Penguins beat the Los Angeles Kings 5-4 on Saturday night.
"That's just a character win," Rust said. "We obviously have a lot of guys out. We were down by two and then up by two and they tied it up again. It was a bit of a roller-coaster game."
Rust came through again when the Penguins needed him most.
He faked a shot on the forehand and flipped a blocker-side backhander past Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick for the deciding goal. The Kings had a chance to continue the shootout, but the puck rolled off Adrian Kempe's stick, giving the injury-riddled Penguins their fifth win in six games.
Rust, who scored the overtime winner Thursday against Columbus, had a 5-on-3 power-play goal in the second period. Teddy Blueger and Jack Johnson scored third-period goals, while Jake Guentzel and Kris Letang both had three assists. Pittsburgh has points in 17 of its last 22 games, including 13 wins.
Tristan Jarry, who entered the game with three shutouts in his last four appearances, made 38 saves for Pittsburgh.
Tyler Toffoli, Michael Amadio, Kyle Clifford and Austin Wagner scored for the Kings, who have lost six of their last nine. Quick stopped 23 shots.
"I didn't think we were sharp in a couple situations offensively where we could've finished, but for the most part it was a pretty honest effort from the guys," Kings coach Todd McLellan said.
Pittsburgh rallied from an early two-goal deficit in the first period, and then blew a two-goal lead in the third. Five of the last eight games between the Penguins and Kings have needed overtime.
Blueger put Pittsburgh ahead 3-2 at 9:26 of the third period. Johnson gave Pittsburgh a two-goal lead 29 seconds after Jarry stopped Anze Kopitar on a breakaway, and then a penalty shot.
But the Kings tied the game with two late goals.
Clifford converted a rebound with 5 minutes left and Amadio scored 1:23 later after a net-mouth scramble in front of Jarry.
"I thought our reaction to (the comeback) was great," Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. "We didn't get rattled and we didn't get on our heels. We just kept playing the game."
The Penguins played their second straight game without three of their top four centers.
Malkin skated on his own Saturday morning, but he missed his second straight game with an illness. He's one goal from becoming the fourth in franchise history and eighth active in the NHL to score 400 goals. Crosby and center Nick Bjugstad have been out since November because of core muscle surgery. Pittsburgh is also without top defenseman Brian Dumoulin and forward Patric Hornqvist, who both missed their sixth straight games with lower-body injuries.
The Penguins have won 16 of their last 22 in the regular season without Crosby and Malkin, including eight of the last 10 at home.
"Our guys are playing hard and competing," Sullivan said. "We're fighting hard. I just like our effort."
The Kings are in a stretch in which they play 12 of 16 games on the road, including their current season-long six-game trip.
Los Angeles won its second straight overall and ended an 11-game road winless streak with a win at Anaheim on Thursday. Before Thursday, the Kings were 0-10-1 on the road since a win against Winnipeg on Oct. 22.
Los Angeles plays 11 road games among its 15 total this month. The Kings haven't won back-to-back road games since beating Anaheim and Calgary in March.
"For us to come into this building where they play exceptionally well as a team, and to push a goaltender that's as hot as anybody in the league to a shootout ... we'll take it," McLellan said.
NOTES: Pittsburgh scored its first 5-on-3 power-play goal since Nov. 25, 2017. ... Rust has seven goals and 15 points in his last 11 games. ... Guentzel has nine goals and 22 points in his last 14 games. ... Toffoli and Rust both continued three-game point streaks. Guentzel is on a five-game point streak. ... Kings F Ilya Kovalchuk was scratched for the 17th straight game. ... Pittsburgh has 14 wins in its last 16 home games. ... Penguins F Joseph Blandisi was recalled on an emergency basis from Wilkes-Barre/Scranton of the American Hockey League for the second time in three days.
Kings: Continue their trip Sunday at Detroit.
Penguins: Open a Western Canada trip Tuesday at Calgary.

Why permit your summer to get ruined by damaged hearing? If you don't know about your hearing loss, it's probably even worse. The prolonged decay of your hearing that goes along with aging and certain ear diseases can mean that you don't always realize that there are things you can't hear any longer. If you really love summer fun, then why would you really want to miss out just because you don't hear that well? Search for remedies to the challenges that come along with the loss of hearing, so you can go out there and enjoy the good times with all your friends.
Summertime cookouts do get a little tricky if a person has hearing loss. One of the most challenging issues is background noise. All around you, people are talking. On the lawn and in the swimming pool youngsters are yelling and playing. There is the crackling sound of the food cooking on the grill and, of course, the wonderful sounds of the natural world.
Whatever hearing that may remain can't contend with all that noise. This type of background noise can easily overtake someone that has hearing decline.
Some of the overwhelming background noise can be minimized by finding a quiet place to sit for a while. You may need to see peoples lips so turn your back to the sun.
Shut off the background music or turn it down, at least. Choosing not to play music is an option if you're the host. If you are going to someone else's cookout, describe the issue to the host.
Get away from time to time. It takes a lot of energy struggling to hear. Every hour or so go indoors or a little ways away from all the noise.
Inform others that you can't hear. Don't try to fake it because that can irritate others. Tell people when you can't hear them. You should also make use of visual hints that you are struggling such as cupping your ear. They will usually move closer or speak up to help out.
Don't attempt to hear everything. Accept that you can't participate in every conversation. As an alternative, attempt to participate in smaller groups of people and set reasonable limits for yourself.
Do you truly understand what you might be missing outside? Don't be afraid to go outside and focus on the sounds of nature. You won't hear everything, but with a little focus, you might be amazed by the things you can hear.
If you simply try to listen to one thing at a time, you can manage your expectations every time you go outside, head to the beach or walk in the park.
Isn't that what summer is meant for? What type of vacation do you enjoy? What constraints come with your hearing loss that will affect it? As an example, an amusement park may be a bit too much stimulation, but sailing or fishing work nicely. Going out into nature should also work. Take a walk on the boardwalk by the beach or head to a museum.
Don't let your hearing loss take away your chance to travel this summer. Tell the airline about your condition when you get your ticket if you are flying. Alert the hotel or resort, also, so they can give you a room with accommodations for the hearing impaired like smoke alarms with flashing lights or shaking beds and TVs that have closed captioning.
Learn to paint or perhaps take an exercise class to better yourself this summer. If you want to find a spot up front, get there early. Bring a couple of friends with you and let them fill you in on what you might miss during the session.
Playing it safe while at the pool or beach. Put in earplugs to prevent ear infections and don't let your hearing aids get wet.
If you decide to walk in the evening to appreciate the night air, take a friend with you. Hearing loss means you won't always perceive things like cars driving towards you or maybe even someone coming up behind you.
Get high-quality hearing aids. They will get rid of background noises so you will hear what is relevant.

Android News / OnePlus 10 Pro Specifications Shared By Tipster & Certification Listing
OnePlus 10 Pro Specifications Shared By Tipster & Certification Listing
By Kristijan Lucic
OnePlus has confirmed the design of the OnePlus 10 Pro yet again by sharing several new renders recently. A tipster added some extra images to the table, showing us the device from all angles. Following that, the OnePlus 10 Pro specifications have been shared by a reliable tipster, and not long after that, by TENAA as well. TENAA is kind of an FCC equivalent in China.
The OnePlus 10 Pro specifications have been shared online
Digital Chat Station is a well-known tipster from China, and he shared the OnePlus 10 Pro specs on Weibo. If you take a look at the gallery provided below, you'll get to see the specs he shared, and ones from TENAA
Needless to say, the OnePlus 10 Pro will be quite a powerful smartphone. OnePlus already confirmed that it will be fueled by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, Qualcomm's most powerful SoC to date.
In addition to that, the OnePlus 10 Pro will include 8GB/12GB of LPDDR5 RAM and 128GB/256GB of UFS 3.1 flash storage. A 6.7-inch curved display will also be included. That will be an AMOLED LTPO display, and it will be provided by Samsung. Its resolution isn't mentioned here, but TENAA confirms this is a QHD+ (3216 x 1440) panel.
A 5,000mAh battery will also be a part of the package. OnePlus will also include 80W fast wired charging and 50W fast wireless charging. Reverse wireless charging will also be a part of the package, though, likely a 10W one.
The device will include 'Hasselblad mobile phone Imaging System 2.0+'
Three cameras will sit on the back, 48, 50, and 8-megapixel units. The 48-megapixel one will likely be the main camera, with a 50-megapixel ultrawide unit that will serve as a macro shooter as well. We're still not sure about the 8-megapixel sensor.
A single 16-megapixel camera will sit on the front. OnePlus is once again collaborating with Hasselblad, and we're expecting a more pronounced influence of Hasselblad this time around. This image actually mentions 'Hasselblad mobile phone Imaging System 2.0+'.
Dual stereo speakers are also mentioned here, and the same goes for Bluetooth 5.2. The phone's measurements are also listed. The device will measure 163 x 73.8 x 8.55mm, and weigh 200.5 grams.
The OnePlus 10 Pro will become official on January 11 in China. The device will arrive to global markets in either March or April, quite probably. The OnePlus 10 seemingly won't launch alongside the OnePlus 10 Pro in China, but the two phones may launch together in global markets. The OnePlus 10 is rumored to include the MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SoC.

Often the hardest decision you can make in a game of Warhammer Underworlds is when to do over your starting hand and yet this one decision has an absolutely massive impact on the game. We've all had games where it feels like the cards just didn't come out right for the situation we are in and it leaves you very frustrated thinking that there was nothing you could do. In fact it's often less painful to lose due to a bad roll of the dice, at least your opponent can see that, however when the cards come out wrong it can sound a bit odd if you say that you swear you have a good deck, honest.
Keep the hand if you have 2 score immediately cards that you can reliably score.
None of the above rules seem like they are going to set you up for an amazingly high scoring game. If you only average 3 glory a turn then you would end up with a measly 9 by the end of the game, a rather paltry sum. Remember what I said above though, turn 1 is all about setting yourself up to win the late game, right now you are more interested in reliably scoring glory then in going hell for leather and trying to score as much as possible. Once you have access to upgrades you can kill your opponents fighters much easier and using score immediately objectives should cycle you through faster to your big scoring ones.
Notice that number 3 relies on you having a specific power card in hand, in this case Ready for Action (to be fair every deck should run this), when it comes to the more subtle and difficult decisions on doing over a hand you really do have to look at what your power cards are. In fact the reliability of your objectives will vary based on what power cards you see, which is why doing over both hands can be so risky, you have no control over the combination that comes out.
One of the reasons defensive decks do so well against newer or even moderately experienced players is that they throw out all normal understanding of what 'reliable' is, for example if you play Fiends normally the card What Armour? Can be trivial to score as it just needs your leader to hit an attack, he doesn't even need to kill with that attack, when there is nothing in charge range suddenly the card becomes next to impossible to score.
That's most of the situations resolved, unfortunately there remains the ever tricky 2 ploy/3 upgrade hand. Around 70% of the time I toss this hand, the times I keep it are when the ploys in question are some of the best in my deck or if the ploys specifically help me score objectives that I want to keep.
For the edge cases where you are unsure of what to do the only way to know if a decision is correct or not is to try it out. Like many of the skills in Warhammer Underworld the only way to get better is through experience, however with this particular part of the game you can cheat a bit. Once your deck is made simply run through a massive amount of practice shuffles, sites like this actually have a digital shuffler built in which means you don't even have to tax your hands in order to do this. Every time you get an edge case decision try drawing the next batch of cards and play the game out in your head (as much as you can) then decide if your original judgement was right or not, this way you can slowly correct your decision making process and make it more optimal.
Whenever building a new deck I spend a lot of time doing this before I even start practicing it against other players, at this stage it can be easy to adjust the cards in your decks if you are finding that your starting hands are all coming out badly.
The really important thing to remember is that there are exceptions to every rule and the better that you get at the game the more you will learn about pushing edge cases for specific match-ups and board/objective placement.
All good points and ones I agree with.
Locally, a lot of the players will keep a terrible hand 9 out of 10 times, where I stick pretty close to what you said above. At the end of the game they're amazed at how much glory I scored. Not only have I said when and why I pitch my hand, they've seen me do it so often that you'd think they'd catch on, yet they don't.
Yeah, needless to say there's not high competition locally for me.


Neither have I doused my lips in the nag's spring nor do I remember to have dreamed on twin-peaked Parnassus so that I should suddenly come forth in this way [as] a poet. I leave the daughters of Mt. Helicon and pale Pirene to those whose images pliant ivy wreathes. I myself, a half-peasant, bring my poem to the festival of bards. Who made it easy for a parrot [to say] its "hello" (lit, made its "hello" easy for a parrot) and taught a magpie to try [to speak] human (lit, our) words? [That] teacher of skill and bestower of talent, the stomach, [which is] an expert in imitating forbidden words. Moreover, if the hope of deceitful money has appeared (lit, shone), you would believe that the raven poets and magpie poetesses were singing [pure] Pegasean nectar.

Barcelona vs Inter Milan Champions League Offshore Odds & Pick

Group C in the Champions League looks set to be one that goes right to the wire. The battle for the two automatic spots to reach the next round in the competition is heating up, and this fixture for Barcelona against Inter Milan is effectively a must-win match for the Spanish giants.
Before Betting On Barcelona vs Inter Milan
Despite being in excellent form in La Liga this term, Barcelona are coming up very short in the Champions League. The Catalonian giants come into this fixture knowing that a defeat would effectively mean that they will have a mountain to climb to reach the next stage of the competition. At present, they have three points on the board, and they have lost their previous two games.
Inter's 1-0 win last week moved them up to second place in the standings, and they now have a three-point advantage over Barcelona ahead of the final three matches in Group C. Inter will be aware that a point keeps the second spot in their hands, while Barcelona need to try and get maximum points.
Last week's defeat was only the second time that Barcelona has been beaten by Inter Milan, while no Italian side in the history of the Champions League has beaten the Catalonian giants on two occasions in the same campaign. Inter has been beaten in every away game that they have played against Barcelona, while they have failed to score in four of the five defeats that they have suffered.
You need to go a long way back for Inter's last win in Spain, as they landed a 5-1 against Valencia in October 2004. Since then, they have lost seven of their previous eight fixtures played in Spain, which includes a defeat in each of the previous four seasons in the Champions League.

SportsBetting.ag -230 +390 +645
Pinnacle -225 +389 +639
MyBookie -229 +390 +570
Inter's poor record against Spanish sides is easily the most interesting angle coming into this fixture. Barcelona has dominated home fixtures against the Italian side, and we don't expect that run to end in this must-win fixture. Therefore, we like Barcelona's chances at -225 with Pinnacle.

Home Perspectives Israel First or America First
Israel First or America First
Jafar Syed
 Listen to this
"Axis of the world brought to its bloodied knees as bodies rain" on September 11. But the American leadership does not learn the lesson. Instead of distancing itself from the occupier Israel and abandoning pro-Israel policies, it is again playing in the hands of the Jewish leadership and the Jews. This is happening in spite of the fact that the American leadership knows that its pro-Israel stance is the main reason for the loss of American lives and its humiliation in the entire world on September 11. Tuesday's Onslaught on key targets in New York City and Washington DC will, almost certainly, elicit a harsh response from the Bush administration. However, it is unlikely that the US government, media or opinion makers will draw the appropriate conclusions about this attack.
Tuesday, Sep.11, was the United States "Yom Kippur," its "Day of Atonement," for all the sins its policy makers have committed against other countries and peoples over the past 40-odd years. While the Bush administration has announced its determination to "wage war on terrorism," the US will never win that war until it addresses the grievances which inspire militants to strike at Washington. Palestine should be at the top of the Bush administration's list because the US pro-Israel stance in this century old conflict fuels the hatred which drive Muslims to attack "soft" US targets and kill US citizens. War on terrorism should address grievances which inspire militants to strike, The Jordan Times, September 13. And Jordan Times is not alone for pin pointing the American leadership's misguided policies towards the Muslim World . Scott McConnel of Antiwar.com also blames the misplaced policies of the American leadership. "Whether the World Trade Center perpetrator is Osama Bin Laden, or one countless Arab or Muslim subgroups, we should not have any doubt: this attack was welcomed in much of the Arab and Muslim world. Palestinian's leaders may have given it pro-forma condemnation, but the people on the Arab "streets" were smiling and flashing signs when they heard the news.
Before Americans set their sights on revenge, they should at least understand why this attack delighted many, why United States foreign policy makes it hated in much of the world. "Why Many Arabs Hate America, September 12, 2001.
Other reasons are also given in the same article that generate hate and resentment in the hearts of the Muslims for the U.S. blanket support of an occupying power Jews, occupying Palestine. Some reasons are as follows.
1. The message of President Hosni Mubarak delivered by foreign advisor to the Egyptian president Osama Baz was ignored last month by the Bush administration. He urged the Bush administration to diffuse the escalating Israel-Palestine conflict or face mounting rage.
2. Senator George Mitchell's Middle East Plan shelved because Israel was not ready to freeze the settlements.
3. Reoccupation of the West Bank by Israel.
4. Assassination of the Palestinian leaders
5. Decades' old sanctions against Iraq and as a result killing of half million Iraqi children besides other miseries.
6. Bush unwise policy towards the Arab world. "Now George Bush, whose knowledge of the Middle East seems little deep than what he picked up from a ride with Ariel Sharon on a helicopter, has decided to snub the Arab world"
7. U.S. is the main supplier of the tools of death and destruction, arms, to Israel 8. The death of the Oslo peace process which raised hopes among the Palestinians.
In nutshell, the article concludes that American policies are the main reason which provokes hatred and resentment. "But we shouldn't delude ourselves about why there is so much hatred for the United States. It does not come out of the clear blue. It is not because we represent freedom and virtue and light, while the Arabs stand for darkness and repression. American culture may represent something corrosive and immoral to certain Islamic sensibilities – that can't be helped. But that isn't what provokes suicide bombers. American policies often kill, directly and indirectly- and this is why people are willing to sacrifice themselves to kill us in return." Why Many Arabs Hate America, Antiwar.com, September 12. An other article, Eye on the Empire, of the Antiwar.com adds new factors in the misguided policies of the United States which were not covered in the article under the title "Why Many Arabs Hate America." One is the lack of understanding about the image of the United States in the world by the American leadership. Second is the inability of the United States to comprehend that it is now operating in a different atmosphere after the disintegration of the Soviet Union." In short, the United States, as a government and to some extent as a society, seems to have no idea how it is perceived in much of the world and no effective defense against the most dangerous threats to the continuing functioning of our society. Chalmers Johnson (author of Blowback: The Costs of American Empire), maintains that US defense and intelligence services have seemed incapable of imagining the world as it really is for at least a decade, may be longer. He thinks that the Cold War actually ended, in terms of the Soviets posing a genuine threat, before the Soviet Union deteriorated. Even if that's arguable, however, the world changed profoundly in 1989 and our defense and intelligence agencies, whether through bureaucratic inertia or the comfort of old preconceptions or a number of other reasons, still don't understand -and haven't even tried very hard to understand – the new shape of the world. "Eye on the Empire," Antiwar.com, September 12.
Whatever the reasons for the short-sighted policies of the U.S. administration, the Jewish leadership is taking the advantage of the event of the September 11. It is whipping hysteria by its complete monopoly on the American print and electronic media. The goal is to use the American big stick to destroy the armed resistance of the occupied Palestinians. These headlines of the newspapers are indicative where the Jewish leadership is taking the Bush administration. A Declaration of War. The End of Our Holiday From History. Under a Cloud of Evil. The new evil empire. Barbarians at the gate. Civil society vs. Terrorism. Globalization, technology victims of terrorism. Bush Vows Revenge, FBI Searches Hotel. Declare war on bastions of terror. Let loose the war on global terrorism. Bush Says Attack was First War of the 21st Century. Congress works together to fight common enemy. Probe Gathers Pace, U.S. Builds Global Coalition. Powel Says It Clearly: No Middle Ground on Terrorism.
The Question can be asked why the Jew wants to take the Bush administration to the path of death and destruction. The answer is very easy. They have to gain more than anybody else. They are pitting directly against the Palestinians and the Muslim world. They are the one who are hiding behind the "American boys". The so-called Israel, is a tiny dot on the world map which can not exist without the help of the United States. If U.S. abandons it, it can not survive.
With the happening of 11 September, the urgency for U.S. protection has increased for Jewish leadership. It is trembling in its shoes. If the anti-occupying forces can humble a joint like the U.S. after crossing the ocean, to penetrate in the occupied land, called Israel, is a child's play. If fadians can sacrifice themselves while placing bomb on their chest, they can sacrifice their lives by hijacking planes and hitting the Israeli buildings. This is the reason that the Jews always subvert every effort by the Muslims to have an accommodation with the United States. They cannot live without the support of the United States. It is as simple. Any tilt by the U.S. toward the Muslims makes Jews hysterical.
Note an other Jewish plot to widen the gulf between the Americans and the Muslims. The Jews are pressing the Bush Administration to shift the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Bait ul Quds. They know the consequences of this anti-Muslim action on the relations of the Muslims and the Americans. And this is the reason they are emphasizing for this move. Recently they were the main factor for the extension of sanctions against Iran and Libya.
Why the Bush administration is a puppet of the Jewish interest? It has no choice. The Jews have manipulated the system from a to z. Note the statement by Bernard Baruch, a Jewish leader which indicates the power of the Jews. The American leadership could sell the seven Arab states and Mr. Baruch could get the head of "Ibn Saud" on a platter for the Jewish votes. The statement was made before the grafting of the Jewish state in the heart of the Muslim World. The statement was true decades ago when there were only seven Arab states and it is true even to day when Arab states are in double digits. The places mentioned in the statements were and are inhabited by the Jews in the New York City.
"The only thing which will matter in Washington … Is if the people in the Bronx and Brownsville and borough park begin to mutter in their beards, they'll be damned if they continue to caste their votes to a party that breaks its pledges to them … You let me have the Jewish vote of New York and i will bring you the head of Ibn Saud on a platter! The administration will sell all seven Arab states if it is a question of retaining the support … Of the Jews of New York alone, never mind the rest of the country." Israel in the mind of America, by Peter Grose, page 175
Coming back to the scenario painted by Mr. Johnson, the only question which comes to the mind is this. Is it possible to physically occupy another country in the 21st century or in "America's New War." The answer is yes. Note the occupation of Bosnia, Kosovo, and partial occupation of Iraq in the 1990s. Include the failed attempt by the U.S. leadership to occupy Somalia in the "name of doing God's jobs."
While concluding some comments:
1. The U.S. leadership knows very well that what it is doing. So when the political pundits point out that sanctions hurt the people and not the leadership, they are implying that the U.S. leadership does not know the consequences of the sanctions. It knows very well and it wants that people should suffer. So when the targeted leadership is toppled, people treat the U.S. as the savior. It also knows about its real image in the world. It knows that it is considered as a mass murderer in the world. Why does it pursue policies, which bring hatred and resentment against the Americans? Its policies are hijacked by the vested interests. These interest groups do not care for the U.S. national interests.
2. Why is so much breast beating on the event of September 11? This is the first time that the American people have to pay the price of an empire on their soil after a long time. U.S. is now in the age of vulnerability. The stick of deterrence has broken. What can it do against the committed individuals who are ready to pay the ultimate price – their lives? Nothing.
3. As the occupation of the Muslim Palestine by the Jews is concerned, it is not only a war between the Jews and the Muslims. It is also a war between an occupier and the occupied.
4. It is patriotic to stop the government from pursuing wrong policies. So it is patriotic to stress again and again that U.S. leadership is on the wrong side of history by supporting an occupier against an occupied nation, Palestinians.
5. As the events of the September 11 are concerned, word Muslim is used again and again. When a Russian Jew commits a crime, media does not say a Russian Jew is involved in a crime. The world Russia is used. When America attacks Sudan, the media does not say that the Christians attack Sudan. The word America is used instead of Christian. So why the word Muslim is used again and again in the said event. Media can name the nationalities of the suspected individuals.
6. A community who is not ready to sacrifice ceases to exist as an effective community in any society. It is a tough time for the Muslim community in the United States. Make no mistake about it. But do not be a "serial apologizer."
Instead start telling the truth to the Americans that they are paying the price for the mis-guided policies of their leadership. The real cause of resentment among the Muslims is the U.S. blanket support of the occupiers of Palestine, the Jews. Unless the Palestinians are given their legitimate rights, there will be no peace and Americans and the Muslims will have to pay the price. The only beneficiaries will be the Jews. They will benefit on the expanse of the Americans and the Muslim blood. This Muslim stance, telling the truth, will definitely offend the Jewish leadership. But that is the only stance, which can educate the Americans and change their perception about the Muslim in America and elsewhere.
7. If the U.S. does not change its pro-Israel policy, it would cease to exist as an empire. In that case whoever will write the obituary of the U.S. empire, the first reason written will be the U.S. pro-Jewish stance.
8. It is a fact that Jews occupation of Palestine over 50 years and their brutal measures could not end the Palestinians struggle to free their country from an occupying power. Now the Jews want that U.S. should involve directly on permanent basis to force the Palestinians to accept the occupation of their country by the Jews. Is this the reason that the discredited Prime Minister of Israel, Nattan Yaho, is urging the United States to do the job for an occupier if it could not do in the past. "The United States must lead the alliance of free nations to stamp out terrorism and uproot its safe havens. We must declare terrorism as a crime against humanity and the terrorist as enemies of mankind. We must destroy the terrorist organization, punish and dismantle regimes that support or harbor them, and disarm their weapons of death." Dismantle terror-supporting regimes, The Jerusalem Post, September 14
9. Ads voices to the forces who are against the U.S. anti-Muslim World policies and pro-Israel policies. To ignore the legitimate interests of the Muslim World of over one billion for the illegitimate interests of the few million Jews is anti-American.
10. The U.S. policy has been to provoke resentment and then smash to please special interests.
11. When any Muslim or American lost his life while pitting against each other, the finger should be pointed to the Jews – the main source of confrontation between the two. American should not direct their anger against the Muslim. Instead the Jews should be the target of their hatred.
12. If any Jew claims that Palestine was without people at the time of occupation in World War One, show him this statement by their so-called founding father, the first Prime Minster David Ben-Gurion. "Why should the Arabs make peace? If I were an Arab leader, I would never make terms with Israel. That is natural: we have taken their country. Sure, god promised it to us, but what does that matter to them? There has been anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They only see one thing: we came here and stole their country. Why should they accept that?" David Ben-Gurion quoted in the Jewish paradox by Nahum Goldmann, former president of the Jewish congress. Source. Jordan Times accessed on September 14, 2001.
Jewish propaganda machine has been persistent in propagating that Palestine was without people. It was not. Besides P.M. Ben Gurion's statement there is an other proof. It is President Roosevelt's plan of ethnic cleansing – to disperse the Palestinians and plant the European Jews. "But the Roosevelt imagination was quietly at work. An ambitious plan was taking shape in his mind, a plan calling for the transfer of the entire Arab population of Palestine to a nearby Arab land. He outlined his idea to brandies in one of their talks. Iraq could be an appropriate new home for the Arabs of Palestine, in Roosevelt's view. Two or three hundred thousand of them should be resettled, at a cost of some $ 300 million. Britain and France should together put up one-third of that, the United States another third, and wealthy Jews of the western democracies the rest. Twice he raised this notion with British representatives, only to be firmly told that no amount of financial inducement would move the Palestinian Arabs. Roosevelt was unconvinced, and told Zionist friends early in 1939, as they reported, "as soon as he was somewhat relieved from the pressure of other affairs, he might try to tackle the job." Israel in the mind of America, Peter Grose, page 138-139
Pray to Allah that American leadership should come to its senses. It should stop biting the hands, which feed millions of Americans. Feeding hands are of the Muslims and not of the Jews. The natural resources of the Muslim World have been utilized and are being utilized by the Americans. Instead, every Jew in Israel is fed, clothed and housed by the poor American taxpayer.
Only Allah is Allim and Basir.

Groupe BPCE launches a project geared to integrating Crédit Foncier's activities and teams into the Group
Crédit Foncier
Groupe BPCE is keen to respond fully to the new requirements of the real-estate finance sector and its customers. It is therefore seeking to combine Crédit Foncier's competencies and expertise with the know-how of the Banques Populaires and Caisses d'Epargne banks throughout France regions and with that of Natixis, Banque Palatine and BPCE SA.
Agenda-Contact
Website of Groupe BPCE
This integration project stems from recognition that the pure real-estate financing model is no longer competitive or suited to circumstances. This is primarily due to the model's non-provision of banking services to customers and its reliance on refinancing solely on financial markets.
Groupe BPCE is therefore seeking to adapt its organization to the new requirements of the real-estate finance market to better meet customers' expectations, use of new technology, competition from new players and the need to set up comprehensive industrial processes underpinned by new digital tools, including virtual assistants.
With this project, Groupe BPCE's Supervisory Board and Crédit Foncier's Board of Directors having approved the project in principle today, Groupe BPCE intends to consolidate its market share in France, which currently exceeds 25% of all real-estate lending in France.
The proposed new organization would cement the Group's leadership on real-estate finance markets, by combining the competencies and many talents of Crédit Foncier with the power of the Banque Populaire and Caisse d'Epargne networks throughout France. Execution of the project would comply with two requirements:
the Group aims to maintain and strengthen its presence with all categories of customers, first and foremost with those wishing to purchase their first home and particularly in the subsidized sector.
the integration of Crédit Foncier employees within other Groupe BPCE companies would proceed in a socially responsible manner, in accordance with the companies' traditions.
Comprehensive integration of expertise and talents
The new organization would be underpinned by the integration of Crédit Foncier's know-how and expertise into Groupe BPCE's companies from three angles:
1- New production of loans would be redeployed in the Group's banks:
Financing activities for individuals would be integrated into the Banques Populaires and Caisses d'Epargne banks, and coupled with an offer of banking services to new customers;
Corporate financing activities would be redeployed within the Banques Populaires and Caisses d'Epargne banks for social housing and within Natixis for project and infrastructure finance.
Socfim, which would become a subsidiary of BPCE S.A, would be positioned as a full-service corporate real-estate finance player, by grouping together long-term finance for real-estate professionals with that for developers.
Crédit Foncier Immobilier, the real-estate services, expertise and commercialization subsidiary, would become a subsidiary of BPCE SA and work on behalf of the whole Group.
During the transition phase, commercial activity with Crédit Foncier's clients and partners would continue as normal.
2- Groupe BPCE would capitalize on the specific expertise of Crédit Foncier's teams:
by creating a national platform for driving real-estate partnerships;
by developing a digital platform offering a full loan-subscription experience;
by reinforcing the Group's national loan monitoring and management platform.
3 – Crédit Foncier would be refocused on two objectives:
refinancing the Groupe via Compagnie de Financement Foncier, which would itself be repositioned on refinancing public sector assets.
managing the existing portfolio of loans until their maturity.
A socially responsible process offering a solution for each member of staff
In accordance with the culture of social dialogue that has always prevailed within Groupe BPCE and Crédit Foncier, the proposed project would provide a solution for each staff member based on the following engagements:
All personnel whose positions would become redundant would be offered a position within a Groupe BPCE company (Banques Populaires, Caisses d'Epargne, Natixis, Banque Palatine, BPCE SA). This position would be of the same nature, of an equivalent classification and in the same local job market;
On a voluntary basis and for staff members presenting a project that envisages their future outside the Group, Crédit Foncier would also open an Employment Protection Plan (Plan de Sauvegarde de l'Emploi).
Crédit Foncier staff called upon to manage the existing portfolio of loans would benefit over time from the same financial measures earmarked initially.
In order to support staff in their mobility within the Group and offer them the best integration possible, the project aims to provide them with an ambitious and personalized multi-year training plan geared to rounding out their expertise.
Following constructive internal dialogue, the project's announcement underlines the Group's ability to put together a lasting solution backed by all stakeholders and designed to integrate the activities, know-how and competencies of Crédit Foncier's teams into the Banques Populaires and the Caisses d'Epargne banks, Natixis, Banque Palatine and BPCE SA.
Groupe BPCE is committing to this project at a time when its financial solidity, prospects and results provide a strong platform to support this change in the best possible conditions.
The project has been presented to union organizations representing Crédit Foncier staff. It will be subject to an information-consultation process involving the works councils of Crédit Foncier and of the Group entities concerned.

US suspends military cooperation with Russia; Kerry to Ukraine
(UPDATED) World markets plunged and oil prices spiked on fears of an all-out offensive that would pit nuclear-armed Russia against its Western-backed neighbor

KIEV/SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine (UPDATED) – The United States suspended military cooperation with Russia due to its military intervention in Ukraine, as Secretary of State John Kerry prepared to visit Kiev Tuesday, March 4, amid a deepening crisis.
"We have, in light of recent events in Ukraine, put on hold all military-to-military engagements between the United States and Russia," Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby said in a statement Monday, March 3.
The suspension of the post-Cold War cooperation covers exercises, bilateral meetings, port visits and planning conferences, Kirby added.
The crisis now threatens to blow up into the biggest test for global diplomacy – and relations between Moscow and the West – since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
Kirby stressed that the suspended system had been "developed over the past few years to increase transparency, build understanding, and reduce the risk of military miscalculation."
Both Washington and the European Union said they were looking at a range of sanctions against Russia for its threat to use force against an ex-Soviet neighbor for the first time since a brief 2008 conflict with Georgia.
The West's warnings to Moscow came shortly after Ukrainian defense officials on the flashpoint Crimean peninsula said Russia had given its forces an ultimatum to surrender or face an all-out assault.
"The ultimatum is to recognize the new Crimean authorities, lay down our weapons and leave, or be ready for an assault," regional Ukrainian defense ministry spokesman Vladyslav Seleznyov told Agence France-Presse in the Crimean capital Simferopol.
But a spokesman for the Russian Black Sea fleet based in Crimea told the Interfax news agency the claim was "complete nonsense".
World markets plunged and oil prices spiked on fears of an all-out offensive that would pit nuclear-armed Russia against its Western-backed neighbor.
Kerry visit a morale boost
Kiev's new Western-leaning leadership is due to receive a morale boost Tuesday when Kerry meets with the new Ukrainian leadership and parliament to "reaffirm the United States' strong support for Ukrainian sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity," the US State Department said.
The hastily arranged trip reveals growing alarm at the events in Ukraine.
NATO is also to hold an urgent meeting on Tuesday at Poland's request, after the neighbor of Ukraine raised concerns about its own security in light of the crisis.
The world's richest nations have already threatened to strip Moscow of its coveted seat at the Group of Eight industrialized nations for menacing its ex-Soviet neighbor.
But Europe and Washington appear to have limited options in dealing with Putin – a veteran strongman with mass domestic appeal who has cracked down on political freedoms and appears more interested in rebuilding vestiges of the Soviet Union than repairing relations with the West.
The wrong side of history'

"Europe is without doubt in the worst crisis since the fall of the Wall," said German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
US President Barack Obama used some of his strongest language yet on the escalating crisis on the eastern edge of Europe, where three months of protests culminated in a week of carnage that claimed nearly 100 lives and led to the ouster of pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych – now sheltering in Russia.
The US leader said the Kremlin had put itself "on the wrong side of history" by mobilizing forces in Ukraine's strategic Black Sea peninsula, which has housed the Russian Black Sea Fleet since the 18th century.
"I think the world is largely united in recognizing the steps Russia has taken are a violation of Ukrainian sovereignty... a violation of international law," Obama said.
The US leader added that he had told Russia that it could face isolation unless it changes course.
British Prime Minister David Cameron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande on Monday also warned of repercussions for Russia over its "completely unacceptable" actions in Ukraine.
Predominantly ethnic Russian Crimea has come under de facto occupation by Moscow-backed forces who have taken control of government buildings and blocked Ukrainians troops inside their barracks across the peninsula.
'All military bases are blocked'
"All military bases in Crimea are blocked," a defense ministry spokesman told Agence France-Presse. "They are surrounded."
The tensions set off another frenzy of global diplomatic activity.
In New York, the UN Security Council held its third round of emergency talks on the crisis in four days, in a meeting called by Russia to set out its position in greater detail.
The Kremlin's envoy to the United Nations told the gathering that it was the ousted Yanukovych who had formally asked Moscow to deploy troops in Ukraine.
"People are being persecuted for language and political reasons," Russian ambassador Vitaly Churkin said, quoting from a letter claimed to have been sent by Yanukovych on Saturday, March 1.
"So in this regard I would call on the president of Russia, Mr Putin, asking him to use the armed forces of the Russian Federation to establish legitimacy, peace, law and order, stability and defending the people of Ukraine," he read.
Churkin's address provoked a stinging rebuke from the British, French and US ambassadors who said Russia was fabricating excuses to justify its violations of international law.
In Brussels, EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said ahead of talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Madrid on Tuesday that the 28-nation bloc would "consider targeted measures" against Moscow.
A special European summit has been called for Thursday, March 6.
Black Monday in Moscow
The first business day since Russia's shock move a step closer towards an invasion of Ukraine saw markets from Asia to Europe and New York nosedive and the Moscow exchange ended the day down nearly 11%.
Russia's central bank unexpectedly hiked its main interest rate to 7.0% from 5.5% in a bid to halt a meteoric ruble slide that saw it hit record lows again the dollar on Monday.
The White House released a statement symbolically signed by the G7 biggest industrialized nations promising "strong financial backing" in a program overseen by the International Monetary Fund.
An IMF team was due to arrive in Kiev on Tuesday on a 10-day fact-finding mission to consider the new government's request for $15 billion in assistance this year.
US lawmakers said they would introduce a "critical" economic support package to Ukraine authorizing $1 billion in loans. – Rappler.com

What to hear, read, and watch this month to achieve maximum Texas cultural literacy.
By Jeff Salamon
Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers Featuring Edie Brickell Live (Rounder, March 11)
The Grammy won this year by the odd-couple native Texans billed by name on this CD/DVD combo—one best known for his movies, the other for a brief flirtation with pop stardom—might have seemed unlikely. But only to those who haven't heard how well his banjo melodies complement her gingham-dress country vocals.
American Athletic Conference Men's Basketball Tournament (March 12–15)
The Final Four will be held in Arlington, but Highland Park could have an early rooting interest if Southern Methodist University makes it to March Madness for the first time since 1993. Under Larry Brown, SMU has been an unexpected contender in the AAC; the team's fate will likely be decided this month on the FedEx Forum court, in Memphis, Tennessee.
A Coffin in Egypt (Houston Grand Opera, March 14–21)
How do you turn Horton Foote's play, a monologue of small-town bitterness and regret that has attracted actresses of the caliber of Sandy Dennis and Glynis Johns, into a chamber opera? You bring in a composer of the caliber of Ricky Ian Gordon and a mezzo-soprano of the caliber of Frederica von Stade. And you hold its world premiere in the state where it's set.
Not for Nothing, Stephen Graham Jones (Dzanc, March 18)
Thrillers featuring disgraced ex-cops turned gumshoes are hardly thin on the ground. What makes this one stand out isn't the unusual second-person narration but the sharp prose ("In the stillness of the storage unit, her lipstick bending up into a smile is still wet enough to make a sound. Meaning she just put it on. For you") and the vivid evocation of Jones's native West Texas.
All of Me (PBS, March 24)
The members of the Austin chapter of the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance laugh about their bodies and dismiss those who judge them. But at other moments in this documentary, they cry as well (watching at home, you might too). And one by one, they decide to subject themselves to weight-loss surgery and the unknown changes it will bring to their bodies and their lives.
All I Have in This World, Michael Parker (Algonquin Books, March 25)
This part-time Austinite's sixth novel, a tale of love, regret, and a sky-blue 1984 Buick Electra, ranges far and wide, from Ohio to Indiana to Missouri to San Antonio. But its attention and its conflicted characters return again and again to the canyons of West Texas, where the ties of family and youthful tragedy are as thick as the land is bare.

Q: How to use function caller variable in the function like parameters? In C# I can create a function like public static string ToUpper(this string str){ str.ToUpper(); }
I want overwrite the string replace function, for example:
var str = "test";
str.myReplace("var1", "var2");

How to can I get str variable in myReplace, like orivinal replace function?

A: Here's how you could extend the String type in javascript
String.prototype.myReplace = function (var1, var2) {
    // Here "this" will refer to the current value the method was invoked on
    return this.replace(var1, var2);
};

and then you could invoke the method like that:
var str = "test";
var result = str.myReplace("var1", "var2");


I originally wrote this about two months ago but didn't publish it. Read to the end for an update!
That's what I have told myself for years.
As the demands on my time increase, it makes sense to get up a little earlier to do things like exercise or read a book. My children are getting older and I'm still working a 40+ hour per week job, so I have less and less time to do these things in the evenings. In the morning, before everyone else is awake, would be the perfect time to work on self-improvement.
I've tried before. Once, I woke up at 4:45 to attend the 5:15 am CrossFit class. I woke up, got dressed, drank some black tea, and laced up my shoes. By all external appearances, I was ready. But, I couldn't make myself do it. I took off those shoes, put my pajamas back on, and went back to bed.
I was "too tired." I realize how ridiculous that sounds.
That was about 4 years ago, and even at that time I already recognized that my evenings were better spent with the family. That's the whole reason I wanted to get up earlier. But, after my failure to make the 5:15 am CrossFit class, I put the idea out of my mind.
I've been falling down the rabbit hole of personal finance podcasts and blogs for about the last 6 months, as one apparently does when discovering the "Financial Independence" subset of personal finance. Somewhere along the way, I caught just a glimpse of "The Miracle Morning." I believe I heard it referenced by Brad at ChooseFI, but I can't be sure. Again, I thought, "That sounds cool but I'm not a morning person" and promptly put it out of my mind.
As I continued down the rabbit hole, I eventually discovered Bigger Pockets, and this weekend I landed on BiggerPockets Podcast 157: A Simple Morning Ritual to Help You Dominate Every Area of Your Life with Hal Elrod.
S – Silence – This can be meditation, prayer, reflection, deep breathing, etc.
A – Affirmations – This is repeating (preferably aloud) affirmations about yourself to yourself. The idea here is to reprogram your sub-conscious to get rid of limiting beliefs.
V – Visualization – Visualize yourself doing the things that you want. And not just the end result. You also need to visualize yourself putting in the work. The idea is to help yourself to believe that these things are possible, so it is less of a hurdle to actually do them later.
E – Exercise – This is pretty self-explanatory. One thing that I got from the interview is that it isn't intended to be a lengthy amount of exercise. Hal gave 100 jumping jacks as an example. Just get the blood flowing and let that increased energy and other benefits from the exercise carry you through the day. This is in addition to any existing gym/fitness routine.
R – Reading – Spend just a few minutes a day of reading some personal or professional development book. If you just read 10 pages each day, that is eighteen 200-page books a year. Incredible!
S – Scribing – This means writing. Keeping a journal basically.
Out of these 6, four of them are things that I already do to some extent and wish to do more regularly: Silence (meditation), Exercise, Reading, and Writing. These are some of the very things that I want to do more of but have trouble finding the time.
I'll admit, Affirmations and Visualization seem a bit goofy to me, and I'm going to be uncomfortable doing them. Especially the affirmations. I just can't shake the picture of Stuart Smalley on Saturday Night Live.
But, I understand the idea behind them, and I'm willing to give it a shot.
Apparently, there is a vast multitude of previously "not morning people" who swear by the techniques of The Miracle Morning. There is an active community on Facebook, and according to Hal, over 70% of them claimed to be "not morning people" before starting The Miracle Morning.
Hal already addressed this one on the podcast as well. His advice is to not wait another day. Go ahead and get started, and use the time to actually read the book, and incorporate the S.A.V.E.R.S. as you learn about them.
This makes sense to me. At this point, there is no reason not to get started.
So, now what? With all of my excuses so deftly batted away, I feel like I need to give it an honest try.
My plan is for the rest of this month and all of July (that's about 5 weeks), wake up at 5:00 am each work day. This gives me holidays and weekends off, but gives me a good routine for work days, which are the days where I most need "me time." I'm going to do exactly what Hal suggested, finish reading the book (I started it today), and incorporate the 6 parts of the routine as I feel comfortable adding each one.
Tomorrow I plan to do meditation, exercise, and reading. I'll worry about affirmations, visualization, and scribing later on (but soon). I think the most important thing, as with most endeavors, is to just get started.
It has been two months and this has seriously been one of the best things I've ever done. I started off as described above, I woke up at 5:00 am and started reading the book. I haven't yet done much in the way of affirmations, visualization, or scribing but for several weeks I consistently did the same morning routine at 5:00 am every day. I would wake up and go for a walk around the neighborhood while listening to a podcast. Then, I would sit in my driveway and meditate for about 10-15 minutes before coming inside to read a book. I would read until the kids wake up (usually about 6:30) and then it would be time to get ready for the day.
That's 5 books in 2 months, just from my new morning routine. That's a 30 book per year pace, not counting what I have in progress right now.
After a few weeks of doing this, I started getting up even earlier. Now I get up at 4:50 on weekdays and 5:30 on weekends. I originally thought I might take the weekends "off" but I loved the miracle morning so much that I started doing it every day right from the beginning.
After about a month, I realized that with my new schedule I could now manage to do Yoga classes at 5:30 am on weekdays. So for about the past month, I've done the sunrise yoga class 2-3 days per week and the miracle morning described above for all the other days. I would never have even attempted "sunrise" yoga if I hadn't already changed my habits.
It's almost like I have two completely separate days now. I have all the "me time" in the early morning, and then the rest of my day. At night when I'm going to bed (about 9:30 usually) it sometimes feels like the things that I did that same morning were actually the previous day. I used to try to get my "me time" at night after the kids were in bed, but I realize now that it was never as fulfilling because I was always too tired. Doing things for myself first thing in the morning when I'm fresh has worked out a lot better.
What I thought was going to be a 1-month challenge is my every day now, and I intend to keep going indefinitely.
I believe I have that book, but I haven't read it yet. Great review!


LONDON -- Conservative lawmakers in Britain will hold a no-confidence vote on Prime Minister Theresa May Wednesday that could see her removed as the leader of her party and the British government. The announcement throws Britain's already rocky path out of the European Union, which it is due to leave in March, into further chaos.
If May loses the vote, with at least 148 members of her party casting a vote of no-confidence, she will be the second Conservative prime minister toppled by the tumultuous Brexit process. The first one, David Cameron, resigned after calling the public referendum that led to Britain's decision to pull out of the EU in the first place.
Graham Brady, who heads a committee overseeing Conservative leadership contests, said he had received letters from at least 48 lawmakers asking for a vote on Prime Minister May's leadership.
As a result, he said, "the threshold of 15 percent of the parliamentary party seeking a vote of confidence in the leader of the Conservative Party has been exceeded." Brady said the vote would be held in Parliament Wednesday evening, with the results announced soon after.
If May loses the vote she will very likely resign, which would result in a vote within her Conservative, or Tory Party, to pick a new leader. That person would likely be called upon by Queen Elizabeth II to form a new government and take the reins as the next prime minister. However, May could also opt to hold her position as party leader and prime minister until her successor is chosen -- a process that could drag on for an indeterminate period of time.
If she wins the vote -- an outcome which looked increasingly likely as the vote neared -- her Tory foes would be unable to launch another leadership challenge against her for a year. CBS News partner network BBC News projected Wednesday that enough Tories had voiced support for the prime minister to see her survive the evening's vote.
Many Tory lawmakers have grown angry with May over her handling of Brexit, and the challenge comes days after she postponed a vote to approve her draft divorce deal with the EU. She delayed that vote because she knew her plan faced all-but-certain defeat.
Supporters of Brexit say May's deal fails to deliver on the clean break with the bloc that they want.
Pro-Brexit legislators Jacob Rees-Mogg and Steve Baker said in a joint statement that "in the national interest, she must go."
The Prime Minister herself emerged from her official residence at 10 Downing Street in London on Wednesday to acknowledge the challenge against her, and vow to "contest that vote with everything I've got."
She warned that a change in the nation's leadership at this late stage, with the U.K. set to break up with the EU in less than three months, "will put our country's future at risk" by "delaying or even stopping Brexit when people want us to get on with it."
She said she was cancelling a trip to Ireland on Wednesday to remain in London, where she would lobby her Conservative colleagues to back her leadership. She warned them that abandoning her, "risks handing control of Brexit negotiations to opposition leadership in parliament."
May's government triggered the "Article 50" mechanism in the European Union charter more than a year and a half ago. That move set in motion the countdown clock to March 29 -- exactly two years after Article 50 was triggered -- at which point Britain will cease to be a member of the EU, with or without a deal agreed between the two parties.
Economists, including the British government's own, have warned that such a "no-deal" Brexit could bring a recession, leave Britain's ports and cross-border trade in chaos and many European citizens' immigration status in question.


GLENDALE —When Juli-Andra Fuentes first signed on to head up what is likely the biggest political challenge in Colorado history, she never dreamed it would become as big as it has, as fast as it has.
But the current political climate in Colorado has recalls, referendums and repeals in everyone's vernacular.
Juli-Andra Fuentes talks to a supporter at the Grand Opening of the first Official Recall Polis office in Longmont.
Fuentes, along with Shane Donnelley, who initially launched the idea; Mandy Nelson, a military veteran who is the designated filing agent for the group; and Jason Williamson, a Weld County resident who works in the oil and gas industry, plan to do just that.
On Saturday, Fuentes was on hand for the grand opening of the first office for the "Official Recall Polis" campaign at 410 Main Street in Longmont, proudly greeting the dozens of people — some of whom drove from as far as Durango —who wanted more information on how to oust Colorado's 43rd Governor, Jared Polis.
Fuentes said the outpouring of support has been phenomenal with more than 35,000 members on the group's Facebook page, and more than 150 active volunteers, across the state, working around the clock to get ready for when the recall is legally possible.
Polis is not eligible for recall until six months after he was sworn into office, which is July 8.
People gather at the Grand Opening of the first Official Recall Polis office in downtown Longmont.
Gubernatorial recall attempts are not as rare as their successes are. In fact, according to The Center on the American Governors at Rutgers University, Californians attempted — unsuccessfully — to recall 32 governors before they finally ousted Gray Davis in 2003.
There have only been three recall attempts that have eventually made it onto the ballot, including that of Davis. In 1921, North Dakota Gov. Lynn Frazier was ousted; and in 2012, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker survived a recall attempt.
Polis would be the first Gov. in Colorado to face a recall if the attempt is successful. To make it onto the ballot the group needs signatures from more than 600,000 registered voters, and they will have just 60 days to gather that number, although Fuentes said they are aiming for 900,000 to account for any deemed invalid.
Some have said the requirements are impossible to meet, pointing to Polis' 11-point win over Walker Stapleton and his deep personal wealth war chest, of which he spent about $25 million of to win election.
Although she acknowledged Polis seems to have a never-ending pot of money, she said it actually motivates her and other hard-working families, and she is confident they will prevail. They have retained former Secretary of State and attorney Scott Gessler to represent them. Gessler is working on the paperwork so that everything is ready to go on the first day possible, she said.
She also clarified that her group is not connected in any way to a separate Independent Expenditure Committee: Resist Polis PAC.
The group has received other support through in-kind donations that she hopes to build on. Office space has been donated in several communities, she said, and those offices will open soon. She hopes to work with supporters of the recall effort to get donated space in all 64 counties.
Jason Williamson, a member of the Official Recall Polis campaign talks to a couple dozen people in Evans on Saturday about the group's plans.
The group's next filing with the Secretary of State's Office is due April 26.

A Blog for the Pet Obsessed
Journey Home Fund Adoption Story: Sir Francis Bacon
Journey Home Fund: Sir Francis Bacon's Adoption Story
Stella and Chewy, the inspirations for our brand, were both adopted as adult dogs. This prompted our passion for adult and senior pet adoption and we aim to raise awareness about the joys of older pet adoption through our Journey Home Fund. In November, in honor of National Adopt A Senior Pet Month, Stella & Chewy's covered more than $80,000 in adoption fees to help 371 adult and senior pets find their forever homes. Nine-year old Sir Francis Bacon was one of these pets! We interviewed his new dog mom, Megan, to share more about the awesomeness of adult and senior pet adoption:
Q: Tell us about yourself!
A: My name is Megan and I'm from Dallas, TX. I'm a mental health counselor, though I still occassionally moonlight as a veterinary technician! I've had pets since I was a child and I've always been an animal person. All of my dogs have been adopted from shelters or rescues or from individuals needing to rehome their pets. This time, I wanted a dog of a specific size and personality to keep my other senior dog company and live comfortably in a condo, so I researched local rescues.
Q: Where did you adopt Bacon from?
A: DFW Pug Rescue!
Q: Do you know Bacon's background?
A: No. He was surrendered to a city shelter two hours from Dallas with no reason given by the previous owner.
Q: How did you end up finding and adopting Bacon?
A: I'm friends with a few pug lovers who have adopted from DFW Pug Rescue, so I contacted them. The adoption coordinator was great, asking me several questions about what I was looking for in a new pet and the type of environment he or she would be in. She thought that, based on his foster parents' descriptions, that he would be a great fit for my family.
Q: What makes Sir Francis Bacon special?
A: He's a quirky, endearing little guy! He's sweet, stubborn, and opinionated, and he has the funniest expressions. Most of the time, he's very quiet, except when I first get home – then I'm treated to pug yowls of delight and full-body wiggles.
Q: How has Bacon settled into your home and become a part of your family?
A: Bacon took a few weeks to really settle in and get comfortable with the humans. He was a little standoffish at first, friendly but not especially interested in us. Understandable, considering the upheaval in his life. He did take to my other dog right away and can usually be found cuddling with him. Now, though, he's incredibly affectionate and expressive. He perches on top of the couch like a cat when I'm reading, tries to sleep on my pillow, and follows me from room to room. He adjusted very quickly to the routine at home.
Q: What made you decide to adopt an older pet?
A: Puppies are exhausting! Crate training, housebreaking, things chewed up and destroyed around the house… My other dog is 12 and I was concerned that even an adult dog might be too rambunctious for my arthritic old man. Calm, meandering walks a few times a day are more our speed. The idea of giving pills or eye drops to an animal with special needs didn't bother me. I live in a condo, so having a dog who is a little bit hard of hearing or doesn't have the best eyesight is honestly a bonus because they're less reactive and less likely to bark at people walking past.
Q: What advice would you give to others who may be hesitant to adopt an older animal?
A: The number one thing people tell me is, "But you don't get as much time with them, and you get your heart broken sooner." For me, it's the quality of the time. I love being able to offer a comfortable, happy life for an animal who otherwise might not get that chance. Senior pets are mellow, loving, easy, and they seem so genuinely appreciative of the little things in life. Losing them is never easy, but they provide so much joy and sweetness and it helps me appreciate my time with them even more.
Thank you, Megan, for opening your heart and home to a senior pet in need! Learn more about Journey Home Fund here.
