Small Gestures is a multi-dimensional show of some 45 Hungarian and International artists and groups who explore our relatedness to nature, through materials and various processes and conceptions. They are active in the urban and the rural environment. Embracing themes of society and community, material and context, utopia, myth & performance and earth works, Small Gestures, has great breadth as a show including works from North and South America, Japan, Indonesia, and well as Eastern and Western Europe.
To touch the earth is a small gesture, as deep in its resonance as it is universal and historically persistent. What we find in exploring the range of artists collaborations (and performances) is that we all share something in common. Even as we speak of cultural diversity the common thread linking our societal structures, our myths and aesthetic constructs is nature. A continuity and resonance can be felt as we explore the incredible range of ways artists interpret their sense of place, identity and community in our times. On site works will likewise be produced as various locations in and outside Budapest. Performance by Ichi Ikeda in the autumn will compliment the Small Gestures theme with the persistence of actions in the here and now.
As Small Gestures evidences, new connectivities and approaches are producing an aesthetic that combines processes and techniques from the past, yet hybridizing these, are part of an evolution of global art practise that is rooted in place, community, and with bio-specific and geo-specific language of expression that can re-unite us with the earth – our home.


Avaya, Inc. commissioned The Tolly Group to evaluate the robustness and reliability of its TTY over IP Telephony and compare those capabilities against Cisco System's "AVVID" solution. The product suite from Avaya included Avaya Communication Manager 2.0 running on the S8700 Media Server and its G600 Media Gateway. The Cisco system consisted of CallManager, the 1751 router with a voice interface card and the ATA 188 analog telephone adapter.
Tests evaluated accuracy of transmission across IP networks under various conditions and using different vocoders. Testing was performed from December 2003 through February 2004.
Test results show that the Avaya TTY over IP implementation provides dramatically more accurate and robust transport when compared with both Cisco offerings – the 1751-VIC (voice interface card) router-based analog adapter and the standalone analog telephone adapter.

Doomsday Clock to be updated against backdrop of Ukraine war
WASHINGTON: The "Doomsday Clock," which represents the judgment of leading science and security experts about the perils to human existence, is to be updated on Tuesday against the backdrop of the war in Ukraine and other crises, reports AFP.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists will announce at 10:00 am (1500 GMT) whether the time of the symbolic clock will change.
The organization describes the clock as a "metaphor for how close humanity is to self-annihilation" and says the annual resetting should be seen as a "call-to-action to reverse the hands." A decision to reset the hands of the clock is taken each year by the Bulletin's science and security board and its board of sponsors, which includes 11 Nobel laureates.
For 2023, the Bulletin said they will take into account the Russia-Ukraine war, bio-threats, proliferation of nuclear weapons, the continued climate crisis, state-sponsored disinformation campaigns and disruptive technologies.
The hands of the clock moved to 100 seconds to midnight in January 2021 -- the closest to midnight it has been in its history -- and remained there last year.
"The clock remains the closest it has ever been to civilization-ending apocalypse because the world remains stuck in an extremely dangerous moment," the Bulletin said in a statement at last year's event.
The clock was originally set at seven minutes to midnight.
The furthest from midnight it has ever been is 17 minutes, following the end of the Cold War in 1991.
The Bulletin was founded in 1945 by Albert Einstein, J Robert Oppenheimer and other scientists who worked on the Manhattan Project which produced the first nuclear weapons.
The idea of the clock symbolizing global vulnerability to catastrophe followed in 1947.
A decision to reset the hands of the clock is taken each year by the Bulletin's science and security board and its board of sponsors, which includes 11 Nobel laureates.

A gentle cleanser formulated for dry, dehydrated skin. Infused with a blend of botanical oils that soften and smooth skin, it helps to give a more radiant and youthful appearance. Leaves skin feeling clean and moisturized.
Olive Oil & Green Tea Body Wash is rated 4.6 out of 5 by 13.
Rated 2 out of 5 by KellyAVL214 from Once in love, now heartbroken I'm so upset. I bought this body wash previously and it was extremely thick, lathered amazingly well, and smelled divine. I have sensitive skin with lots of random bumps and irritation but I hate slathering on lotion and this was the perfect solution. HOWEVER I ran out and just went to buy a replacement. To my dismay, it is thin, feels different, and smells mostly just like plain ol soap. I'm (probably irrationally) sad about it. Sad because I loved it, sad because I have to find something else I like now, and sad because I wasted the money.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Karri from Found my Match! I have been searching for a body wash that is moisturizing, lathering, natural, and not too strong of a smell. This body wash has a light refreshing smell that dissipates after my shower. This is very lathering with only a small amount of product used. I no longer have to use lotion after I shower and this has healed a dry patch on my skin that I have had for as long as I can remember. I even tried using this as a face wash the past couple days and love it better than my expensive face washes I use or have tried in the past. It doesn't make me break out (I have had issues with acne for a long time) and my skin feels clean and soft. This has even seemed to help with the oily ness on my face. I absolutely love this product.
Rated 5 out of 5 by EricaTheeOne from I'm in love I just tried this product today and I'm in LOVE!! Instantly my skin felt soft and clean. Please note I'm 34 and I want my skin to be the same at 60. I highly recommend this product!
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sandrafay from Memorable & Effective& Awesome This body wash has healing properties for your skin. It's so thick you only need a little but it seems to provide an extra layer of protection for your skin. I've had a small dry path on my skin, I'm constantly irritating because it gets dry and itches & flakes can never seem to heal tried everything. This body wash soothed the itching and provided a layer of protection so area seems to be healing .. and it also smells wonderful!! Love this product.
Rated 5 out of 5 by SLK123 from Love this! I love this body wash . . . it smells so good, is very gentle, creates lots of foamy lather. I ordered from the company because my local Whole Foods stopped selling the line, and I didn't want to give it up! I was very pleased with the ordering process, it was delivered within days, in perfect condition.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ron Sr from Repeat Buyer, Great Product! I enjoyed this body wash the first time that I ever used, the fragrance and feel was so different from other products that I have used before that I wanted to continue using it.
When will this product become available?
What is the problem? When will the OOGT Body Wash be back?


This pdf from Louis Porter Design is 166 pages long, 1 page front cover, 1 page editorial, 4 pages ToC, 1 page SRD, 2 pages char-sheet, 2 pages mini-monster-sheets, 1 page condition tracker, 1 page combat & initiative tracker, 1 character advancement tracker, 4 pages of advertisements, leaving 148 pages of content, so let's check it out!
In the third chapter, the unique races of NeoExodus are portrayed – from the hive-mind-possessing, ratlike cavians, the crystalline cyneans, the mobile plants called Dalreans, the beast-like, mutating Enuka, the language-centred Prymidians, the cat-like P'Tan (as seen on the cover) and the secret-mongering Scorpion-people called Sassori, the races are unique indeed. The roster of races has a new-comer as well, the Kalisan. Seeing that I went into details in my review of "Races of NeoExodus", I'll only sum up the Kallisan here and some details. Kalisans are the civilized brothers of Calibans and get +2 Str, +2 Dex, -2 Int, proficiency with great-axes and falchions, the endurance feat and ferocity. If you own the Caliban-pdf, they can also take the iconic, yet disturbing Caliban racial traits and feats. It should also be noted that gevets (NeoExodus Tieflings) have their own entry – they get +2 Dex, +2 Int, -2 Wis, darkvision, outsider-blood, fire resistance 5 and males get +1d6 sneak attack damage while females get +1 caster level when casting healing spells. Generally, I liked the races and some abilities are downright awesome – Cavians for example can choose a racial trait that enables them to implant a kind of seed that makes it possible to spy on victims of their bite – neato!
That's it with the new PrCs. While they by no means felt weak, I didn't have any balance concerns with the PrCs and actually enjoyed their flavour and the fact that they are truly PRESTIGE classes – these specializations have to be EARNED. Two thumbs up!
Of course, we also get a selection of new weapons, armour, magic and mundane, alchemical substances and similar pieces you'd expect from a book like this. MY favourite part of this section would be the new class of books, which comes with detailed information on the book, lore-DCs, spells, bonuses for referencing it, etc. – I hope to see more of these books in future publications.

COLVILLE, WA
Colville High School has placed second for the last three years in the State 1A wrestling championship.
"We're looking for a breakthrough year," head coach Randy Cloke said. "We're right there."
Colville High coach Randy Cloke knows he has a team more than capable of winning the school's first state wrestling championship.
"This year I think we have a better tournament team than league team," Cloke said, noting that he wasn't sure how they would do in their league this year.
Colville and Deer Park wrestle against Newport and Riverside in a double dual on Wednesday at 7 p.m. Colville will spend Friday and Saturday wrestling in the Tri-State Meet at the North Idaho College. Friday they wrestle at 10 a.m. and at 9 a.m. on Saturday.
The full story is available online here or by picking up the Dec. 13, 2017 edition of the S-E.

The Heart Grows Fonda
She is a libertine, a political and social activist and at the age of 79, Jane Fonda remains her gauntlet-hurling, shit-stirring, couldn't give a damn self.
by David Smiedt

Scroll through your Netflix feed and you'll find the sitcom Grace and Frankie. One of its stars is 79-year-old Jane Fonda, and the other is Lily Tomlin. They play a pair of one-upping lifelong friends whose husbands fall in love with each other, leaving the women suddenly single. Even in 2017 it is a fairly daring premise for mainstream media, yet for Fonda it is merely an extension of a career in which she has gleefully stirred hornets' nests and displayed a billionaire's nous for business.
Born in 1937, her father was the noted actor Henry Fonda, a man who could portray a staggering range of emotion on screen but who was, by most accounts, colder than an Inuk's fridge. Despite an initial reluctance, Jane joined the Actors Studio and, in 1968, announced herself to the hearts and minds of men the world over in the film Barbarella. In a silver miniskirt whose hems had sterling views of her all-American pleasure garden, she played a carnally fuelled alien whose attitudes mirrored the burgeoning sexual liberation of women around the world at the time.
A year later she was nominated for her first best actress Oscar for They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, and in 1971 she took home the award for Klute. Playing a prostitute with a goddess's body and a mercenary's ethos, the film's seminal scene involves a man humping away on top of her as she makes the requisite moans while checking her watch. In displaying sex as a sometimes tedious chore for women, she struck a chord with her gender and gave men plenty to think about. Over the next 15 years she would score another four best actress and best supporting actress nominations, and one more win. That's five nominations and two wins in a decade and a half: suck on that, Meryl.
Her legend was burnished with an unbridled and unapologetic sexuality that gave rise to tales both plausible — Warren Beatty apparently noted she could unhinge her jaw like a python — and apocryphal: while studying at Vassar College she was told she could not attend the daily 'Tea in the Rose Parlor' without wearing gloves and pearls, so was said to have returned wearing only gloves and pearls.
A story more likely based in fact is one in the autobiography of John Phillips, of The Mamas & the Papas, which spoke of a Malibu orgy featuring his then wife, Michelle Phillips, "a well-known movie director and his extremely famous movie star wife, and another single male movie star". It is commonly believed the unnamed were Fonda, her husband, Roger Vadim, and Beatty. As with so much else in Fonda's life, zero fucks were given. (Or in this case, plenty.)
A genuine libertine, she is also possessed of a fierce social conscience, in December last year blogging about the Standing Rock oil pipeline standoff. In 1972 she travelled to Vietnam to learn more about a war she vehemently opposed, met with P.O.W.s and delivered to them letters from home. Here, she made possibly the biggest self-confessed mistake of her career: allowing herself to be photographed on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun. This earned her the ire of some in the U.S., an ire that was still burning in 2005, when an ex-soldier spat tobacco juice in her face at a book signing.
Now a picture of refined elegance, she was twice a Vogue cover model and got name-checked in the rap classic Baby Got Back with the immortal line, "But Fonda ain't got no motor in the back of her Honda". Sir Mix-a-Lot's allusion was in reference to the actress's wildly successful exercise videos. She sold 17 million copies and by the mid eighties had a personal net worth of around $50 million. Many's the young man who spent a lonely yet fulfilling evening watching Jane doing squats in her high-cut leotard. Yes, we felt the burn.
Three marriages and several autobiographies later, Fonda was the most open of books. In what must have been one of the more bizarre episodes of her life, she told Jimmy Kimmel that when Michael Jackson visited her on the set of On Golden Pond in 1981, they went skinny dipping. You must have been some kind of adult woman if Michael wanted to see you naked.
It's that most alluring of combinations: super smart — she has an I.Q. of 183 — with a sprinkling of craziness. Consider this revelation: she bathed in the ashes of her golden retriever Roxy when she mistook the contents of an urn for bath salts, and didn't realise what they were until she saw a bone in the water.
With her career still effervescent after a hiatus that encompassed most of the nineties and the early part of this century, Fonda remains her gauntlet-hurling, brashly honest, shit-stirring, couldn't give a continental and, yes, sexy self. A GILF, if you will. And if we weren't enamoured enough already, she's also fond of the odd spliff: "I'll smoke pot every now and then," she says. "I cannot see a movie on pot. The number of movies I've seen thinking, This is probably the best I have ever seen, and then I'll see it again sober and think, What was I thinking?"
A couple of joints, Jane Fonda on the couch beside you, potato chips, and an HD streaming service? We defy you to imagine a better evening.

El Distrito de Cotabambas es uno de los 6 distritos de la Provincia de Cotabambas  ubicada en el departamento de Apurímac, bajo la administración del Gobierno regional de Apurímac, en el sur del Perú.

Desde el punto de vista jerárquico de la Iglesia católica forma parte de la Diócesis de Abancay la cual, a su vez, pertenece a la Arquidiócesis de Cusco.

Historia
El distrito de Cotabambas fue creado en la época Republicana por Decreto Ley del 21 de junio de 1825, durante el gobierno del General Simón Bolívar palacios, juntamente que la provincia de Chumbivilcas

Capital

Recently, there has been a huge change in the perception of microbial diseases and a shift in the understanding of how to treat them. It is now recognized that there are few disorders that can be attributed to the presence or absence of a single organism. Rather, the structure of the entire community of microbes constituting the human microbiota often determines the disease state.
Most mucosal surfaces of the human body contain an extremely complex ecosystem of microbial organisms. These resident microbes exist in a delicate balance with each other and the human host that is dictated by the specific local environmental factors of each host body site. In health, the many different species that make up the microbiota exist in homeostasis with the host immune system. A dysbiosis of the microbiota shifts the community, which may lead to disease.
Since the advent of antibiotics, the treatment of microbial diseases has focused on non-specifically eliminating entire groups of bacteria. The overuse of broad-spectrum antibiotics has led to the many adverse effects we are currently dealing with in the so-called "post-antibiotic era", including antibiotic resistance and antibiotic-induced diseases, such as C. difficile infections. New treatment strategies for microbial diseases need to reflect this increased understanding of the microbial ecology of the human body. One strategy under investigation is the development of targeted antibiotics which can selectively kill specific pathogens within the microbiome.
The microbiome of the human oral cavity consists of ~700 different species  in which a dysbiosis leads to various diseases such as dental caries and periodontal disease. Oral microbes exist in a highly structured society that is regulated by complex signaling mechanisms. The species of the oral microbial community are physically as well as physiologically connected, with metabolically complementary organisms relying on each other and the rest of the community for nutrients needed for growth. In this way, the removal of a single species can lead to a change in the entire community structure . S. mutans is one of the organisms that contributes to dental caries  due to its ability to generate acid from dietary sugar as well as thrive in acidic conditions. Current treatments for caries include surgical (drilling and filling) or fluoride-based therapies, but neither effectively eliminates the underlying microbial cause.
In theory, broad-spectrum antibiotics would prevent caries by eliminating most oral bacteria. However, following cessation of treatment, S. mutans will easily return due to the removal of competition from resident commensal species. Studies show [2,4] that the targeting killing of S. mutans leads to a re-structuring of the entire oral microbial community. The void created by the removal of S. mutans is quickly filled by other, health-associated Streptococcus species, and prevents the re-introduction of S. mutans through protective colonization. The removal of S. mutans allows a protective community to form, one that is no longer friendly to this pathogen.
The idea of precision-guided antimicrobials is currently being applied to other disease states and body sites, including Clostridium difficile infections , a debilitating disease triggered by the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. The ability to selectively remove a single organism from a complex community has the potential to be a game-changer for antibiotic development as well as microbiome research.

When former Outward Bound instructor and avid outdoorsman Thom Schuchaskie began taking daughter Bella, then age 2, on nature walks in Central Park near their Manhattan home in 2005, he was just enjoying flipping rocks and identifying trees with his kid. Soon, though, Bella's schedule was full of playdates—mostly kids wanting to tag along with the dad-daughter duo on their adventures. Encouraged by parents to create a program for a local preschool, and inspired by a book on kids and nature, Schuchaskie founded a series of afterschool classes, called Urban Kid Adventurers (urbankidadventurers.com) in 2006.
"I want to get as many children outside as I can," says Thom, 41, whose wife, Food Network star and dietitian Ellie Krieger, shares his passion for healthy living. "I basically let the kids lead me—we'll identify birds or tie knots or build our own bows and arrows. However they show an interest in nature, that's what we'll do."
And since those first impromptu classes, hundreds of kids and parents from all over the city have taken notice of Urban Kid Adventurers. In fact, says Thom, "There's such a demand for the class that parents want to hold a lottery to fill the spots."

You don't have to be an expert on flora and fauna to help kids enjoy the great outdoors, Thom says. "Just get the kids outside. Take walks in the local park; look at the trees in your backyard. You don't have to memorize every species—learning with your kids and teaching them how to use resources like guidebooks and even iPhone apps is really valuable," he says.
Thom is continuing to expand, offering summer camps and anti-bullying classes combining Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and storytelling.
"Being outside helps children use their imaginations and start to understand the joy of discovery," Thom says. "Jumping in leaves, playing in the dirt—sometimes it's good to just let kids be kids. "

Hi, everyone! Welcome back! We hope you are getting back into the groove with your classes. As we've mentioned before, the PERS department has a bunch of really funky new titles, so this spring semester, we'll be talking about them most weeks.
Victory seemed the appropriate MoW for Super Bowl weekend. It's about sports and it's about art, but the focus of the art is sports, whether actual or examined through an artist's perception.
This shows you an idea of the kind of content you will find within Victory's pages, interspersed with interviews and photography.
Like many of our other new titles, this one is a larger format and printed on matte paper.
We hope you will come check out all our new titles!

At Healthy Hounds Kitchen, we share a love and passion for dogs and our mission is to make sure we provide a healthy, balanced diet for our canine family members. We have a simple philosophy that wellness begins with a healthy lifestyle and a wholesome and nutritious diet – we believe that our dogs, and yours, deserve that level of care and attention. After all, a healthy hound is a happy hound.
Unfortunately, this thought process does not always resonate in the dog food industry, which is flooded with products made from feed-grade, low quality ingredients, and fillers containing little to no nutritional value. The foods that are currently available can vary drastically in quality and consistency and this can present dangers that we aim to avoid at all costs. As informed pet owners we were inspired to create Healthy Hounds Kitchen – for our dogs and yours.
We oversee each step of the preparation process to ensure that our meals are complete and balanced, and formulated to meet the nutritional requirements for your dog at all stages of life. Our recipes start with only USDA certified meats and produce, cooked minimally to maintain all the naturally available nutrients. Once cooled, we seal and package each meal, which is available fresh or frozen. Our recipes will never contain feed-grade ingredients, artificial additives, or preservatives.
Our open kitchen is a testament to our customers. We believe that you should know exactly what you're feeding your dogs, so we welcome you (and your dogs) to visit our kitchen and see just what goes into our meals, from preparation to cooking to packaging.

WA could ban use of cancer-causing chemicals in makeup, hair care
Jan. 24, 2023 at 6:00 am Updated Jan. 24, 2023 at 6:15 am
Isabella Breda
Seattle Times staff reporter
When Erika Schreder's 13-year-old daughter came home from the salon, she had styling gel in her braids. The product, Shine 'n Jam Extra Hold Conditioning Styling Gel, is sold at just about every beauty store.
But Schreder, the science director for nonprofit Toxic-Free Future, was disturbed to learn formaldehyde made up 0.2% of the product. That's the highest level of the chemical found in cosmetics tested in a new state study.
A bill in Olympia to ban the use of chemicals in cosmetics died last year. But the Legislature appropriated $266,000 for the study to identify cosmetics marketed to or used by people of color, including adults and children, and test those products for potentially harmful chemicals.
Now, with the Department of Ecology report in hand, state lawmakers are making another run at it.
House Bill 1047, sponsored by Rep. Sharlett Mena, a freshman Democrat representing Tacoma's 29th legislative district, could ban the use of harmful chemicals in cosmetics.
The bill would make Washington among the first in the nation to create sweeping protections for consumers related to cosmetics, and it could have a broader impact on the products sold across the country.
The legislation would end the manufacture, sale, and distribution of cosmetic products containing nine chemicals or classes of chemicals, beginning in 2025. It also directs Ecology to study the hazards of ingredients that may be used as substitutes, and to assist small businesses in voluntary environmental health certifications.
Meanwhile, the department is accepting public comment on proposed restrictions on toxic chemicals like per- and polyfluorinated substances and phthalates used in perfumes, electronics, vinyl flooring and drink packaging. Under the Safer Products for Washington Act, signed into law in 2019, the agency is working to eliminate toxics where safer alternatives are available.
The first phase of the state's research found formaldehyde in 26 of 30 body lotions and hair products tested. It revealed unhealthy amounts of lead in eyeliners and lipsticks, and arsenic in dark-tint makeup powders.
And the chemicals identified in this bill also wash off people and go directly into wastewater, said Ashley Evans, of King County's hazardous waste management program, in a legislative committee hearing last week. The county's treatment plants are not capable of removing many of these chemicals. And as a result they ultimately end up in the environment and wildlife.
These chemicals are known to be harmful to human health.
At low levels, breathing in formaldehyde can cause eye, nose and throat irritation. At higher levels, exposure can cause rashes, shortness of breath, wheezing and affect lung function. Prolonged exposure can lead to cancer.
Lead exposure can slow children's development, and affect their learning, hearing and speech, and can result in brain and kidney damage in adults. Both lead and arsenic have been linked to brain and nervous system damage and cancer.
"Forever chemicals" — per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances known as PFAS — rank as one of the most pervasive sources of pollution on the planet. They are found in soil, air, water and even the snow of Antarctica. In a study published in 2021, researchers found 100% of the participating mothers had PFAS in their breast milk. Exposure to the class of chemicals can cause cancer, liver damage, decreased fertility, asthma and thyroid disease.
Many of these chemicals are already regulated in other products.
For example, Washington's Children's Safe Product Act restricts the use of lead, cadmium and certain ortho-phthalates in children's products, including cosmetics.
It's a different story for most cosmetics. Cosmetic manufacturers are not required by law to submit safety data on cosmetic ingredients in the U.S. And Ecology has had limited authority to regulate chemicals in cosmetics.
"We will go to the grocery store, or wherever we get our things, and we'll pick these things up and just assume that they're safe," Mena said. "Assume that they've been tested and assume that they've been through some kind of vetting to make sure that they are safe to use, and they're not."
The Ecology report pulled back the curtain on the widespread presence of hazardous chemicals in cosmetics marketed to people of color.
Researchers purchased 50 cosmetic products, identified through conversations with community organizations, and tested them for heavy metals and formaldehyde at Manchester Environmental Laboratory from July to October last year.
They found formaldehyde levels high enough to cause allergic reactions in 24 products, like lotions and hair products. Ecology also found formaldehyde in children's spray detangler and well-known products such as Olay Firming Night Cream.
Past studies summarized in the report also revealed the use of things like hair straightening products marketed toward Black women were associated with higher breast and uterine cancer risks. Black women also reported higher use of feminine hygiene products, like douches, which have been linked with higher levels of ortho-phthalates.
A lawsuit was recently filed in federal court in Illinois alleging a 32-year-old Black woman's use of chemical hair straighteners over decades caused her uterine cancer.
In Seattle, the 'shadow epidemic' has passed COVID
"There's racist beauty standards that we understand have infiltrated our society," Mena said. "It's been reinforced in many harmful and insidious ways. And then we're selling products to people to sell them the idea of achieving a standard. And those products are sometimes more harmful than anything else on the shelf."
And for many people of color, the report states, the negative impact of harmful cosmetics is compounded by other environmental and social factors.
Phase one of the study tested lipsticks, body lotions, hair products and powder foundations for heavy metals and preservatives that release formaldehyde. The second part is underway, looking at the presence of asbestos in blush, eye shadow, hair spray, body wash and nail products. It's slated to be completed by June.
Mena filed the legislation in December, and it was the first bill heard by the House Environment and Energy committee this session.
She's hopeful getting it in early will give it a leg up.
Last year, shampoo, makeup and other cosmetic manufacturers raised concerns about Washington state adopting regulations that don't align with those in other states and countries.
Peter Godlewski, the director of government affairs for energy, environment and water for the Association of Washington Business, said the organization will oppose the legislation until a few changes are made. Godlewski said formaldehyde-releasing agents shouldn't be classified as formaldehyde, and the bill should only be enforced at the manufacturer level, not retail.
If the bill doesn't pass, there may be an opportunity to include the rule-making under Ecology's Safer Products program, said Kimberly Goetz, legislative coordinator for Ecology. But the process would take at least another five years.
A decade ago, Minnesota passed a law prohibiting the use of formaldehyde in cosmetic products like lotion and bubble bath marketed to children under 8 years old. California also has several laws that regulate cosmetic ingredients and labeling.
The European Union has regulated PFAS in cosmetics, as well as in other products.
The Ecology report highlighted that alternatives to the harmful chemicals are already in use by some companies. Credo, Sephora and BeautyCounter sell products intentionally made without most or all of the substances outlined in the report. Some also require regular testing for contaminants.
The Environmental Working Group created the Skin Deep Database for people to research the safety of their cosmetics.

lifestyles becoming more and more sedentary.
It is basically eating more, eating more of the wrong kind of food and not being active enough to burn up all the excess energy. You will be shocked to know that a single fast-food meal contains enough energy to meet your entire daily requirements. Along with eating such fast food and having a television in the bedroom of a teenager is a major risk for obesity. Studies have confirmed this. Poor eating habits is a major cause of teenage obesity. Coupled with no physical activity the problem becomes grave and threatening.
While poor eating habits and no physical activity are the primary causes, the following reasons have also been found to lead to teenage obesity.
Hormonal imbalances, especially when teens reach puberty.
The health of young people is affected both physically and psychologically. When obese teenagers grow into adults it becomes more serious and difficult to treat them. It has been found that kids can be mean and bully. Children who are teased about their weight possess a poor body image, low self esteem, and symptoms of depression. They therefore are reluctant to go to school or college.
The solution is simple. Avoid fast foods, do physical exercises regularly and eat more of the right kind of food like vegetables and fruits. Most teens don't as they find such food bland and not tasty. Enjoying healthy food doesn't have to be a hassle. You can prepare tasty, healthy meals in just seconds. There are many recipes available. Learn the secrets to good health and safe weight loss found in the smoothie recipes in this 114 page ebook "Amazing Smoothies"
Parents role is important in avoiding the obesity problem by guiding their children to have healthy dietary habits and do regular exercise. In this the parents should be an example to their children. Several research studies show that well balanced diet and food that rank low in glycemic index are helpful in reducing teenage obesity. Scolding them about being overweight will not give any results but guiding on how to reduce weight will really help. Parents should explain the importance of losing weight and gaining a positive image to their teen children.

Serious Linux design flaw CVE-2016-569 allows Traffic Hijacking
August 11, 2016 By Pierluigi Paganini
A severe design flaw in the Linux kernel could be exploited by attackers to hijack traffic, inject malware into connections, and run a wide range of attacks.
A severe flaw in the Linux kernel could be exploited by attackers to hijack traffic, inject malware into downloads and web pages, and run a wide range of attacks, break Tor connections.
"In general, we believe that a DoS attack against Tor connections can have a devastating impact on both the availability of the service as a whole and the privacy guarantees that it can provide," the team wrote in a white paper .
The flaw is widespread, vulnerable Linux distros are everywhere, in PC, servers, mobile devices and IoT devices.
The serious flaw (CVE-2016-5696) exists since version 3.6, deployed in 2012. It was discovered by researchers from the University of California, Riverside, and the U.S. Army Research Laboratory that present their findings at USENIX Security Symposium. The study is detailed in a paper titled "Off-Path TCP Exploits: Global Rate Limit Considered Dangerous," that also includes recommendations on how to mitigate the issue.
The TCP/IP networking flaw allows attackers to spot communications between two entities and can be exploited to hijack the traffic and manipulate it if the exchange is not encrypted.
The attack is not considerable a man-in-the-middle attack, the attackers just need to send spoofed packets to both sides of the connection by simply knowing their IP addresses and destination ports.
"The unique aspect of the attack we demonstrated is the very low requirement to be able to carry it out," explained Zhiyun Qian project leader.
"Essentially, it can be done easily by anyone in the world where an attack machine is in a network that allows IP spoofing. The only piece of information that is needed is the pair of IP addresses (for victim client and server), which is fairly easy to obtain."
Giving a close look at the RFC 5961 we can note that it addresses spoofed packet injection attacks by introducing challenge ACK packets.
The researchers exploited the feature that Linux rate limits the output of these challenge ACKs.
The attacker can send malicious packets to confuse to the server, that in turn sends challenge ACKs to the client until it reaches its limit and temporarily stops sending them. In this phase, the attacker can turn to the client and send spoofed IP packets to break the connection or to substitute the silenced server in the connection.
"The root cause of the vulnerability is the introduction of the challenge ACK responses and the global rate limit imposed on certain TCP control packets." explained the researchers.
"Through extensive experimentation, we demonstrate that the attack is extremely effective and reliable. Given any two arbitrary hosts, it takes only 10 seconds to successfully infer whether they are communicating. If there is a connection, subsequently, it takes also only tens of seconds to infer the TCP sequence numbers used on the connection. To demonstrate the impact, we perform case studies on a wide range of applications.
The basic idea is to repeat the following steps: 1) send spoofed packets to the connection under test (with a specific four-tuple), 2) create contention on the global challenge ACK rate limit, ie, by creating a regular connection from the attacker to the server and intentionally triggering the maximum allowed challenge ACKs per second, and 3) count the actual number of challenge ACKs received on that connection. If this number is less than the system limit, some challenge ACKs must have been sent over the connection under test, as responses to the spoofed packets."
Waiting for a patch, users can raise the rate limit for the challenge ACK packets so that it cannot be reached, it can be done by modifying the rule it in the /etc/sysctl.conf:
net.ipv4.tcp_challenge_ack_limit = 999999999
then execute sysctl -p to activate it and root the machine.
Tha attack could be also effective on encrypted communication, but just to break them. The researchers also added that Windows, OS X and FreeBSD aren't vulnerable because partially implemented the RFC 5961.

Proof for Time Travel or Parallel Universe? Mysterious "Alien-Natzi" Coin Found in Mexico (VIDEO) – The Strange Tales
11 December, 2022 Nhi DangLeave a Comment on Proof for Time Travel or Parallel Universe? Mysterious "Alien-Natzi" Coin Found in Mexico (VIDEO) – The Strange Tales
Diego Aviles claims he discovered the piece of metal while working on a construction site.
And after he examined it, he was left shocked.
On the bottom of the item the numbers 2039 were displayed – suggesting it was from more than 20 years in the future.
And just above that, the Reichsadler Nazi Party symbol can be observed below the words "Nueva Alemania" – which translates to New Germany.
The flip side reads: "Alies in einer nation" meaning all in one nation.
WW3? the coin has sparked conspiracies (Image: THE HIDDEN UNDERBELLY 2.0)
It was originally shared by the man on his YouTube page on February 6.
But it has picked up popularity after being shared on popular conspiracy theory page The Hidden Underbelly 2.0.
The video is titled: "A coin discovered from a parallel universe found in our timeline."
Since it was uploaded, viewers were left speculating what it could be.
One comment read: "Is it from a parallel universe or is it from an altered time line?"
And another claimed: "Germany will be the centre of the upcoming WW3, the prophecy is that the Nazis from Antarctica will intervene at the height of the war and will liberate Germany and the rest of the world.
Some say that it is not about time travel, or something from a parallel universe – but it is about proof that the Nazis had contact with Aliens, and the Aliens had the technology to create and research parallel time streams. According to this theory, the coin is evidence of the existence of one of the holodecks, where it was something like a prop."
The "find" has sparked theories similar to the premise of Philip K Dick's alternative history novel Man in the High Castle, which revolves around what life would be like if the Nazis won World War 2.
It has since been turned into a television series.

To start off, 2006 Honda Integra is newer by 4 year(s). Which means there will be less support and parts availability for 2002 Acura CL. In addition, the cost of maintenance, including insurance, on 2002 Acura CL would be higher. At 3,210 cc (6 cylinders), 2002 Acura CL is equipped with a bigger engine.
Both vehicles are front wheel drive (FWD). Which offers better traction when its slippery than rear wheel drive vehicles. With that said, do keep in mind that many other factors such as speed and the wear on your tires can also have significant impact on traction and control. 2002 Acura CL has automatic transmission and 2006 Honda Integra has manual transmission. 2006 Honda Integra will offer better control over acceleration and deceleration in addition to better fuel efficiency overall. 2002 Acura CL will be easier to drive especially in heavy traffic.


I had a very bad yeast infection, took 2 baths in Epsom Salt and it was instant relief.
This was the first time in about 6 years I had a yi. It came with vengeance. The itching and burning was terrible. My whoo whoo was so swollen and red. I couldn't even go to work. But none the less I went to the drugstore to get monastat 7.. The first day I used that alone at night before bed. Also I ate yogurt for breakfast as it has active cultures that promotes healthy bacterial growth. The second day before my shower for bed I used apple cider vinegar on a cotton ball and I also wet it with water. I wiped my labia and even in my whoo whoo with it. Nothing will prepare you for the pain that will come from this. It will literally take ur breath away. But endure the pain... Then I jumped in the shower after a couple minutes. I have a removable shower head so I cleaned my whoo whoo with water. When I got out I used the monastat.. And again for breakfast I ate yogurt.. I would also eat it again if I found time. I did this for four days. So by the 7th day I had no symptoms. No itching no burning no discharge. No swelling and my whoo whoo wasn't red anymore. I forgot to add during the day I used vagisil anit itch wipes if I had any itching during the day which I usually didn't. I and I used light days to protect my underwear from discharge. I changed often.
I started noticing itching and automatically knew what it was a yeast infection... well being in the middle of the night and broke I looked up some natural remidies. Some of them I read and was like wth. Well not being able to stand it anymore I decided to try a few. I took a seringe and filled it with hydrogen peroxide and inserted it into my hoo ha and it burned like hell but started to notice a difference so I took the step alittle further I filled my tub up with salt water and using a seringe I injected salt water it stung for a while but continued to soak and rinse myself out. Then I took a tampon and put about 10 drops of tea tree oil on the tip and down the side of the applicator and inserted it. Instant relief... hope this works it seems to be so far. Try it. It might work for you too.
Look I tried all of this the vinegar the peroxide the sea salt and all these things did was burn the hell out of my moo and after all that it made it worse! I had taken diflucan used monistat and all then called doctor again and she called me in terconazole 4% its a cream. It was instant relief!! I'm telling you if you do all the crazy stuff they list on this site you will be on your knees praying to God that you never had a moo like I was!!!!

The hot-off-the-presses Aug. 10 Voice of the Hill (PDF) has a front-page report about the efforts to save the 106-year-old Anacostia Community Boathouse, under threat because of the pending changes to the 11th Street Bridges. The boathouse is one of the two red-brick buildings that are on the Anacostia River shore, right in between the two bridge spans (the second building, which is not in danger of being demolished, was recently the recipient of a $300,000 grant from DDOT to help its renovation). The 11th Street Bridges Environmental Impact Study, currently underway, has ID'ed four different build options for the bridges (to better link them to the Anacostia Freeway), and three of those options impact the boathouse. Public comment on the EIS is being accepted until Aug. 28. UPDATE: Oops, should have included this link to the Anacostia Community Boathouse Association "Save the Boathouse" page.

Trash-to-Biofuel Takes New Turn in Iowa
TAGS: Waste-to-Energy
The Gazette | Apr 20, 2015
No one has claimed that making biofuel out of garbage is as simple as tossing leftovers into the trash.
So it is that Craig Stuart-Paul, president and chief executive officer of the Maryland-based Fiberight LLC, said this week that his company is shifting gears again on its two-year-old plan to build a trash sorting and shredding operation in Marion.
The idea now is to make the Marion facility more than it was expected to be a year ago.

A Tall Tale: What's Luck Got to Do With It?
Mike Violette
Rising above the tidal marshes of Southern New Jersey stands a red and white antenna tower shadowing a World War II era radio shack. The marsh was a simple mosquito nursery in the 40s when the first modest building—a cinder block foundation and stick-framed walls— was erected as part of a string of radio stations that formed a wartime network on the East Coast. German subs prowled the waters just off the shore of Cape May which hosted just a few houses and one general store with peeling gray paint and sway-back roofline.
The Army Signal Corps operated the station and for years the tower radiated Morse and Voice. During some of the worst of the Nor'easters that raked the coast, the link was an important shore-to-ship link—an invisible lighthouse warning ships away from the hungry shoals.
During the Cold War, the station was used for protection against another set of submarine threats: Russian nukes.
"High Frequency" or HF communications evolved to VHF and to UHF and over time, and with Walls crumbling and balances shifting, the location was no longer of strategic significance to the Army—not to mention the shift of terrestrial communications to geosynchronous networks 22,000 miles aloft the Jersey Shore in airless orbits.
Thus, the installation passed from public service to private industry. WEMC opened and UHF-TV radiators were strung to the top of the mast and the radio shack, modest in its wartime construction, was expanded to include a news and weather studio. Up-to-the-minute local scandals and meteorology were dispensed to the Atlantic City market 40 miles to the Northeast.
Things were fine, for a while.
The beach is a confluence of water, land and sky. In the dead of winter, the crucible of the elements is even more pronounced. The grey gloom at twilight is foreboding; sounds are muffled by the strong wind, stiff, lofting sand that cuts like icy glass against exposed skin. It is a stretch to imagine this being the same planet: comparing the frosty winter to the Sun-soaked summers (and why don't we get these jobs in June?). But in EMC, you often have to go where the work is. It is not always unpleasant—in the right company—and it's rarely boring, especially if you have a little luck.
That January we were called to investigate an interference problem. The "classic rock" programming from the station sharing the tower with the UHF-TV operator was spilling over into the audio and video of the local TV broadcast.
The signal modulated and wiggled the raster scan on the outbound video and in some conditions The Rolling Stones could be heard as a ghostly accompaniment to the nightly newscasts.
The TV station owned the tower and was getting ready to throw out the FM operator unless the problem was fixed. With real estate on transmit towers difficult to get (and some of the most expensive around), the radio station was desperate to fix the problem and keep on rocking the high rollers in nearby Sin City.
We arrived late in the day, cruising over from Lewes to Cape May, across the Delaware Bay. The wind cut the tops of the waves to a brisk chop during the ninety minute ride ferry ride. Arriving at the station, we were met at the door by the staff technician.
"I'm Lou." Not holding out his hand. He eyed us warily and a bit wearily. Lou was sixty, sixty-five, with a dark furrowed brow and a fierce look. About five-foot eight, compact, ex‑Navy, with huge forearms covered with smeary black tattoos.
We offered our business cards; he took and pocketed them without a glance.
"You guys called by the radio station, eh?" Lou asked, motioning us to follow him inside. "Hmph, you're the fourth or fifth buncha guys to come and take a look. No one knows what to do about this and my bosses are ready to kick the rock and rollers off the tower."
"Follow me. I'll show you what the problem is," voiced with no enthusiasm.
We were lead into a room with a wall of monitors, just outside the control room—maybe six or eight TVs mounted on the wall. The five o'clock news was just airing and through the glass of the control room, we could see the news desk and the plastic-haired announcers, well into the breaking top stories.
"Take a look." The screen had a sheen of dark bars that pulsed—wide then thin—traveling slowly and rolling up and off the top of the screen.
"See that crap? And it's worse at high tide." He paused, reached up and rotated the knob on a monitor on the wall. He turned it up. Loud.
"Guess who is playing?" he shouted over the mash of announcer and R&R, singing along with the throbbing audio "You make a grown man cry…"
We looked at each other and shrugged. Lou turned the music down and we continued the tour, heading outside to look at the tower.
"This is all new." Lou said, exiting a back door and pointing skyward. The westering sun cut a long shadow of the mast across the marsh. We walked around the base of the tower. Several fat waveguides sprouted from the side of the building, snaking upwards. Arrays were hung at various heights along the 300' tall structure: microwave dishes, paging antennas, monopole emergency services. Near the top, the FM and TV antennas were aimed north and east, towards Gomorrah on the sea.
"This tower was recently installed, along with the FM antenna. Since then the TV signal has been trashed. And my bosses are PO'd."
"The FM array's at the very top. The TV just below it. We tried all kinds of stuff—even went so far as to separate them as much as possible. Nothing's helped." The wind rose and we gripped our coats tightly. "The FM station's been running at half-power. It helps a little, still the rock and roll doesn't go over too well with the advertisers."
Lou took us to the edge of the parking lot where the macadam dissolved into soft grasses and an inlet of water. "The old tower is over there." He motioned to the marshy scrub. "It blew over last year during Hurricane Floyd." We looked into the watery flats and here and there ribs and struts undulated above and into the flora, a long snaky skeleton.
"Heh," Lou snorted. "When they installed the tower, oh about seven or eight years ago, they didn't seal the guy wires at their bases." He swept our attention towards the edge of the marsh where the long wires disappeared into the scrub. "Over time, the tides spilled enough water into the anchors, eventually corroding 'em. Floyd came in at 50 mph and phewww, pushed it right over." He shook his head. "Tore the waveguides right out of the building. We had to re-build almost the whole wall." He motioned back towards the station. "What a mess."
He looked over the marsh. "We spent four days trying to find the antennas, using thirty foot poles. They must'uve hit hard, 'cause they're in the muck for good." He paused "And, as they say, the old tower is now a man-made reef." He laughed. "Let's go inside, it's cold out here." We wondered if Lou was warming up to us.
"What do you guys want to see next?" We walked through the break room. Lou picked up a dark stained carafe of well-baked coffee and poured a cup. "Care for some? Sugar and white stuff on the counter."
We asked to see the control room. "Can't. Not 'til after the news. And tonight's a 'special segment'. We won't get in."
How are the cables routed? "Cables?! You want cables?!" Lou walked us into the back and motioned up. "Cables we got." We looked up. The ceiling looked like Medusa's hairbrush after a grooming. "Parts of this station are over fifty years old. Nothing's been taken out of here. When something breaks, we just run a new cable."
We looked at each other and suggested that we take some field measurements, at least to look useful until we could see some of the station's electronics.
"Do whatever you need to do. I'm on break 'til after the news." Lou left the room and headed back to the coffee pot.
We broke out the spectrum analyzer and bicon and made some measurements of the fields around the base of the tower. We verified that we could see the signal from the TV and, just for kicks, we identified the UHF signal. The levels were nominal, as I recall. We were certainly off-axis of the main beam, standing at the base of the tower. We figured that there was zero likelihood of anything happening between the antennas and any harmonics of 100 MHz would be greatly attenuated; besides, the frequencies didn't line up with the WEMC's UHF signal. The 100.7 MHz FM signal must be coupling into something in the station. We took the analyzer and a current probe inside and fiddled around with some Medusa's strands. Sure enough, there was plenty of common mode current—on everything.
It was, aside from Lou's curmudgeon-y character, a typical EMC job: Fix it, but don't do anything. We decided to break off and head into town for dinner and return the next day, hopefully with some ideas, or some magic, or some luck.
Wildwood in January is anything but wild and the shuttered shops and stores and deserted streets a bit disquieting, like after the Rapture or walking around Prypiat near Chernobyl, but with carvings of mermaids and fish in contrasting whimsy to the empty cold.
After dinner at the only open place (Suzanne's Family Restaurant, no ABC but setups are $5) and a very brief walk on the beach, we checked into the hotel and turned on the TV, tuning to WEMC. Sure enough, the screen wavered and throbbed and with the sound at high volume: clearly Tom Petty.
High tide? Why was it worse at high tide, we wondered.
The next day we figured out some semblance of strategy. The only way we could wrangle some time poking around the console, where the stuff was getting in, was when the station was off-the-air. We negotiated with the station to be down after midnight.
As evening fell, we went back to the station. Lou greeted us again, this time a little friendlier. "We got things set. At midnight, we'll shut things down and you guys can do what you want. The FM signal's still up. The TV's down."
My dad used to joke "It's doesn't matter if you're skilful or lucky, as long as you're effective." It turned out it was one of those lucky times. After pondering all the potential modes of coupling in the snakepit of conductors, we were shooting a little in the dark.
The glow of the klystron ebbed and the TV signal faded and we started poking around the patch panels, looking for a clue. Flashlight in-hand, we lay on our backs looking up into the naked side of one of the mixing boards. Lou, what's this wire?
"That's a feed into the panel." It was a simple twisted wire-pair, an aluminized-mylar type with a pigtail shield.
We clamped the current probe on the wire and measured the current, about 30 milliamps at 100.7 MHz.
The pigtail connection was about three inches long—a nice service loop—and was connected to a ground screw for the terminal board that, in turn had another few inches of 18 gauge (or so) wire running to a chassis screw. Norm used to say, too, that 'nothing is completely useless: it can always be used as a bad example.' Well, here was (another) one.
The impedance of any wire is equal to the Resistive plus Inductance terms according to the familiar |Z| = |R + jωL| Ω or |R + j2πfL| Ω.
The inductance, from the CRC Handbook, is:
L = 2l[2.303log(4l/d) – 1 + μ/4 + (d/2l)] nH
Where l is the length of the wire and d is the diameter and μ is the permeability of free space (4π X 10E-7nH/m).
The 26 gauge "pigtail" has a diameter of 0.4mm and, doing the math, the inductance works out to about 88 nH.
At 100 MHz, the impedance, then (neglecting resistance) is Z = 2*3.1415*88 ~ 28 Ω.
Assuming the current that we measured flows through the shielded "ground," the voltage is around V = IZ = 0.83 Volts! Pretty hefty and at 100 MHz freely coupling to the wires the shield was supposed to protect.
We grabbed the copper tape and shorted the shield to the chassis of the panel with a nice wide strap. The self-inductance of the strap much less than the skinny wire.
We told Lou to give it a try. He shrugged and he walked back to the transmitter room and lit the klystron (which wasn't off, just idling).
"Let's see what we get here." He flipped on the test pattern and looked at the monitors and was, for the first time all day, quiet.
He went over and flipped on the monitor for the FM station. "Whaaat's love got to do, got to do with it?…".
"It's gone. You fixed it."
Lou was all smiles.

Bryce Edwards' Political Roundup: Is Gareth Morgan saving or sinking TOP?
By Bryce Edwards -
[caption id="attachment_13635" align="alignright" width="150"] Dr Bryce Edwards.[/caption] Gareth Morgan is determined not to give up on his political ambitions for the Opportunities Party. Despite the party's many setbacks, Morgan thinks he can salvage it. To do this, he's making some serious changes – most notably stepping down as leader – see the Herald report, The Opportunities Party to fight next election, minus Gareth Morgan. Morgan clearly states that his decision to step down is based on his self-awareness that he doesn't have the necessary leadership skills, or the personal ambition: "Charm has a big role to play in politics. We saw that with Jacinda, when 20 per cent of the population moved in 24 hours, so that obviously requires a slightly different skill-set. Combine that with the fact that I don't want to go to Parliament anyway, and it's a no-brainer." Morgan is both TOP's greatest asset and biggest liability. His contributions to the party are very clear. After all, TOP is nearly entirely his creation – Morgan put all the money, ideas, and personality into launching it. The benefits of Morgan's contribution have been considerable, and in New Zealand politics it's very difficult to find success with a new party if you haven't got those resources. However, Morgan has also been the author of much of the party's misfortune. His many controversies are well covered in the stories and interviews Morgan has done today. See, for example, Newshub's Gareth Morgan ends the 'farce' of trying to get into Parliament. In this, he explains his rather combative and undiplomatic approach: "I'm not very compromising. To me there's right and wrong, and if you compromise between right and wrong, you end up with incoherent soup… When people just give you 'idiot wind', as I call it, I just give it back – with interest." Morgan also explains his plans, which seem to involve him "stepping aside" rather than "stepping down": "The plan is I go back into the back office and work my butt off on policy, and we have people who are natural politicians in the front helping with the selling of it." But it's not clear that these remedies are radical enough to stop the party sinking into oblivion. I've written an opinion column today at Newsroom, arguing that TOP needs to take more radical action in order to salvage the party – see: Will TOP's leadership change just be lipstick on a pig? Here's the key part of my argument: "TOP's problems require more than just a new lick of paint. At the heart of its failure in 2017 was the ideological ambiguity it presented to voters. There still isn't any strong clarity about what the party represents. Characterising itself as 'evidence-based' is hardly a compelling narrative. More than this, the party has exuded two very different – in fact mutually exclusive – messages about its political character. For some, the party is a vehicle for Wellington cosmopolitan policy wonks. It's part of that urban elite who like to read books about public policy, and have a strong allegiance to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. For others, it's a more provincial, down-to-earth, straight talking party of outsiders for those sick of the establishment parties." I question whether Gareth Morgan in stepping aside, will actually allow the new party leader to have true autonomy, and speculate that this is likely to be a factor in departing co-Deputy Leader Geoff Simmons not being quick to throw his hat into the ring to replace Morgan. I argue that Simmons has the talent and personality to make TOP a success, but he's probably highly cognisant that he would never be his 'own man' if he takes over. It seems that Simmons is taking some time out from the party to travel and reflect on whether he really wants to take over from Morgan. You can read his leadership resignation letter on Facebook – see: Today I've resigned as co-Deputy Leader of The Opportunities Party. In this, Simmons says "I currently don't feel I have the necessary energy to devote to my role in TOP. When the time comes to select TOP's new leader, if I feel I have regained the energy needed to take on that role I will put my hat into the ring." Issues of internal party democracy and control are further in evidence today in the departure of other TOP candidates. Waitaki candidate Kevin Neill left, describing the party as a "dictatorship" and is quoted as saying it was "untenable to have an open, transparent discussion on not only how to create policies, but whether to change them" – see Laura Walters' TOP loses leader Gareth Morgan and three other candidates in matter of hours. According to this article, Neill "believed nothing would change after Morgan stepped down as leader – he would still take a lead in making decisions". Jessica Hammond-Doube, who came third in the Ohariu contest, announced her resignation on Facebook, saying that the departure of Simmons "signals my last hope that the party would move in a direction that I was more comfortable with". Further, she said that "Various things happened during and after the campaign that have not aligned with my values", and that she would be unable to achieve her goals "by continuing to be a part of TOP". Another former candidate, and previous co-Deputy Leader, Jenny Condie, also went on Twitter to comment: "It's a sad day for those of us who believe in TOP's stated principles. Geoff and Jessica are smart, kind and funny – they were my last hope to rehabilitate TOP." Of course, Condie left last month, after being asked to resign by Morgan, in a now infamous email telling her that she was a "pain in the arse". This occurred after Condie raised questions inside the party about the state of democracy and culture in the party. This was well covered last month by Don Rowe in his article, 'Another day where it feels embarrassing to be associated with TOP': the email which enraged Morgan. This article reproduces the email that got Condie in trouble. Here's one part: "It is not merely Gareth's comments themselves – these are a reflection of the culture that exists within the party. There is a mismatch between our policies and our culture: between what we say we want to accomplish and how we actually behave. This mismatch makes us untrustworthy in the eyes of the public and makes me feel out of integrity". Such departures have been a long time coming. I was quoted a month ago in an article by Rob Mitchell, saying "I think in a few months we'll find that Gareth Morgan hasn't got a party, in the sense that many of the people around him will have left . . . or a lot of them will still be there in the party and Gareth Morgan won't be leader… I can't see the status quo prevailing. There's too much unhappiness in the party at the moment" – see: Never mind Donald Trump – Gareth Morgan is NZ's own 'grumpy grandpa'. In the same article, I also suggest that Morgan will have trouble letting go of his own party: "He's a control freak and has too much invested in it personally to allow him to do that. He's too close to it to see the need to make changes." Morgan very clearly has strong ambitions for the party. He recently closed down the research activities of his Morgan Foundation – see Duncan Greive's Gareth Morgan is shutting down the Morgan Foundation to double down on TOP. It seems that the money he was spending on his foundation will now be directed into a new TOP public policy research unit that will start laying the groundwork for the 2020 election campaign – see Newshub: The Opportunities Party to remain a 'rowdy disruptor'. But it's not yet clear from today's announcement that Morgan has reflected very much on any errors made during this year's election campaign. Certainly, straight after the election, he was unrelenting, criticising the public for voting out of self-interest – see Nicholas Jones' 'Voters cannot be this thick': Gareth Morgan on 'Jacinda effect'. On the plus side, Morgan claims "We've got 800 volunteers, 40,000 people on the email. They are big numbers. We have 4000 paid subs or something like that." See also, Lucy Swinnen's Party 'for a fairer New Zealand' falls flat, as Gareth Morgan's TOP falls far short of 5 per cent. According to this article, "Morgan would not admit any mistake in style or substance in his campaign", but Geoff Simmons said that Morgan's "lipstick on a pig" comment was one of the "turning points in the campaign where the party lost momentum".
