100 Best Americana & Country Songs of 2020 (Part 2: 75-51)
by Julian Spivey
75. "All in One Place" by Chicago Farmer
According to an article in American Songwriter, singer-songwriter Cody Diehkoff, who goes by the recording/stage name Chicago Farmer, thought he may have a small fortune headed his way in royalties when his song "Everybody In This Town" hit 10,000 plays on TouchTunes Jukeboxes. He received a check form TouchTunes for $11. That's where the humor in the outlaw country-esque "All in One Place" come about. How you think you're going to make something as a recording and traveling musician, but then the royalties or T-shirt sales or album sales can barely buy you dinner. Good thing most musicians aren't in it for the money.
74. "Whiskey Kinda Night" by William Michael Morgan
Drinking songs have always and will always be part of country music and one of the best of 2020 was William Michael Morgan's "Whiskey Kinda Night." With a smooth vocal reminiscent of someone like Joe Nichols, Morgan tells of a love who's left and how the only remedy for his pain is whiskey. Hey, it's pretty simple and the type of theme that's been done time and time again, but the vocal and laid back contemplative sound make the track, written by Morgan with Doug Johnson and Adam Wood, soothing to the ears.
73. "Crows and Buzzards" by Andy Brasher
One of the strangest recurring themes in particularly the genres of country and folk music has been the murder ballad, specifically the murder ballad of a man killing a cheating spouse or partner, which is admittedly jarring and I can understand why some people find it problematic, but dammit if there aren't a lot of really well-written murder ballads and Andy Brasher's "Crows and Buzzards" is one of them. The most unique aspect of "Crows and Buzzards" is just how mellow it sounds given its dark theme, which gives it that originality and different sound you're always looking for from an often-used theme.
72. "Loving Her" by Katie Pruitt
"Loving Her" is a terrific love song by Katie Pruitt about her girlfriend and how she doesn't care if anybody has a problem with the fact that she's in love with a woman. She told The Boot: "I feel like this is one of those songs I've been trying to write my whole life. I've been trying to say a certain thing in a certain way, without coming across as upset or angry, because it's really hard to talk about that and not be, you know, angry about it." This song came from a hard conversation Pruitt had with her father about being in love with a woman and how he just didn't understand it and how that made her feel.
71. "Can't Do Much" by Waxahatchee
Katie Crutchfield, who records solo as Waxahatchee, has recorded what she calls, "an extremely unsentimental love song, a love song with a strong dose of reality." Her vocal is terrific and the song has a really lovely, relaxing melody to it that undoubtedly came from influences like Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris. Crutchfield told Rolling Stone: "[The song] was written early on in a relationship, where the feelings were super intense, but also fear or apprehension were sort of keeping m from totally relaxing in it yet. Sort of like, 'it's annoying that I love you so much.' Totally unromantic, which sort of makes it really romantic to me."
70. "The First Thing I Reach For" by Ashley McBryde
"The First Thing I Reach For," off Ashley McBryde's Grammy-nominated album Never Will, is country as hell. McBryde and co-writers Mick Holland and Randall Clay pretty much wrap all your usual country music vices into one great song about knowing all these things are bad for you, but also knowing their easy – hence "the first thing I reach for is the last thing I need." It's a terrifically twangy number by one of the best mainstream country music has had to offer of late.
69. "Black Like Me" by Mickey Guyton
Once again, this year we saw that there are real disparities in the way some people live compared to others and how we can't start to even things out until we realize the situation some folks are in. Mickey Guyton shouldn't be an outsider, but simply being African-American (and a woman) in the country music genre has essentially made her one. Her song "Black Like Me" does a lot to help some folks who may be oblivious to the disparities faced in this country by folks who don't look like them realize those disparities. Guyton sings about how "it shouldn't be twice as hard" just to live in this country as a black person and how the fact that black folks shouldn't have to do so in "the land of the free."
68. "The Overthrow" by Will Hoge
I have to admit that if Joe Biden had not won the 2020 Presidential Election over President Donald Trump that this song would not have made this list. That seems like a weird reason to either add or leave a song off a year-end best of list, but the song is basically about the American people overthrowing President Trump, so had that not have happened it just would've been an awkward placement on the list and, frankly, I probably could not have bared listening to Will Hoge's "The Overthrow" again. "The Overthrow" sees Hoge at his most punk (something I've likened him to in the past) as he basically is looking forward to the American people saying "enough is enough" to the "Darth Vader with a spray tan" in charge of the country. It would've been perfect for Hoge's politically-charged 2018 release My American Dream, but as it stands makes for a great victory anthem.
67. "Knowing You" by Kenny Chesney
Kenny Chesney always seems to be at his best when singing nostalgic songs about lost loves or past love. His latest track featuring this theme is "Knowing You," the highlight of his 2020 release Here and Now. The song, written by Adam James, Brett James and Kat Higgins, finds Chesney in that sweet spot vocally where he's no longer with this woman, but just having spent time with her and known her will leave lasting memories for the rest of his life.
66. "Starts with You" by American Aquarium
American Aquarium's "Starts With You" is a fun listen with some awfully good lines like the opening "they say you're only as sick as your secrets/if that's the truth then, friend, I'm dying" and a verse about sad songs making the narrator (presumably AA front B.J. Barham himself) happy, but how he's found a woman that's made him smile than "every sad song ever written." It's the kind of love song I believe even the gruffest or most jaded among us could dig.
65. "On Borrowed Time" by Bryan James
If any year could make you believe every single word of Bryan James's "On Borrowed Time" it's certainly 2020. The song from his album Politics or Religion talks about the after-life and how nobody really knows what's to come and how our time on Earth is just us being on borrowed time and how we should learn to live life like we only have a finite amount of it. It's certainly a great lesson for us this year.
64. "Old Man" by Zach Bryan
Zach Bryan sort of popped up out of nowhere in 2019 with videos of his stripped down country music just his vocal and a guitar going viral, which lead to a debut album DeAnn, which sounded much of the same. Bryan must have had the songs stacked up (or either he's a real quick songwriter) as he was already onto releasing his sophomore album Elisabeth (definitely seems to be a theme developing with his album titles), which was just as stripped down as the first (which wasn't necessarily by design, rather circumstances as Bryan is an active member of the U.S. Navy without as much free time as your average musician). The highlight of Elisabeth is "Old Man," which honors fathers who sacrifice a lot by working hard and long hours to provide everything for their families. I would imagine Bryan's inspiration was his own father, but it's a beautiful tribute that anyone with a blue collar, hard-working dad can appreciate.
63. "The Cure" by Watkins Family Hour
The Watkins family is mighty damn talented when it comes to bluegrass and American roots type music as siblings Sara and Sean Watkins (both originally in the Grammy-winning bluegrass trio with Chris Thile) are incredibly talented and proficient at multiple string instruments. Watkins Family Hour, their group when not working on other projects, released the aptly titled Brother Sister this year that features the lovely "The Cure." The first time I heard "The Cure" I felt it had religious meaning to it with the line "I avoided the cure, but it found me anyway," as in I avoided God and religion, but it eventually found me instead of the other way. That was a misreading. I was hooked on the song either way. According to the group's website "The Cure" was inspired by Sean watching "Tidying Up With Marie Kondo" on Netflix, while being in a bad relationship and hitting on the concept of throwing away those things you don't need and love.
62. "exile" by Taylor Swift & Bon Iver
The most shocking thing on this year's list for me is the inclusion of a Taylor Swift song. It wasn't all that long ago when I thought Swift was one of the biggest problems with country music and bringing pop influences into the genre. Then she completely left country music behind to go pop (which I always felt she was anyway). And then this year she came out with folklore, an indie-folk release that showcases her songwriting in a more singer-songwriter fashion than any of her previous releases. There are multiple tracks on the album that could've made this list, but I've settled on "exile," a duet with Bon Iver (another artist I've never cared much for as I thought he always sounded pretentious) as my choice. "exile" isn't new territory for Swift, it's a breakup song, but unlike much of her past breakup songs it sees things from both sides and really shows a maturation in the now 31 year-old's work.
61. "Put On Your Brave Face Mary" by Reckless Kelly
One of the sad hypocritical realities of this country is how we send brave men and women off to war to fight for their country, calling them heroes and patriots all along, and then completely forget about them when they come home, often with wounds that can't be seen. Reckless Kelly's "Put On Your Brave Face Mary," is a passionate telling of this problem and how the V.A. is understaffed and ill-equipped to deal with "demons they don't understand" and how the politicians in Washington are just full of hot air and don't seem to truly care about the tragic number of veterans who commit suicide on a daily basis. Willy Braun is at his most Bruce Springsteen-esque on this track that speaks to one of our nation's least talk about and important issues.
60. "Outlaw Blood" by Ray Wylie Hubbard feat. Ashley McBryde
Ray Wylie Hubbard writes songs with so much specificity in them that I just can't help, as a writer, but love. He also writes lyrics that seemingly only he could write or get away with like "her mama got a tattoo says, 'free Sonny Barger' or "She got mascaraed eyes and raven black hair, buys her shoes at Kim's Exotic Dancewear." I can't say that I'd actually be interested in the type of women with the "outlaw blood" that Hubbard writes about in "Outlaw Blood," but he sure makes them seem fun. I love that Hubbard not only features Ashley McBryde on harmony vocals, but also tributes her in a verse with the line, "loves to hear Ashley McBryde sing." It's cool that McBryde has already drawn that kind of love from one of outlaw country's greatest.
59. "Her" by Randy Rogers & Wade Bowen
In 2015, Texas Country stars Randy Rogers and Wade Bowen teamed up for the terrific collaborative album Hold My Beer, Vol. 1, which featured one of my favorite songs of that year "Standards." I was thrilled the two got together again to release Hold My Beer, Vol. 2 early this year and the album might even be better overall than their first effort. My favorite track off Vol. 2 is "Her," which feels like an instant classic drinking song and story song wrapped into one like the kind of humorous thing Bobby Bare might have recorded in his heyday. It makes perfect sense that the song is a co-write between Buddy Cannon and Dean Dillon. The narrator of "Her," sees a couple at the bar and has an eye for the woman, so he pulls up beside them on the next barstool, chats up the man and keeps supplying him with drinks until the guy is good and drunk, passes out and our narrator runs off with "her."
58. "Marie" by Lori McKenna
Lori McKenna writes a country story song as good, if not better, than anybody else currently within the Americana or country music genres. Her latest album The Balladeer is "in some ways her life story," according to her website. One of the most heartbreaking, but also resilient, songs on the album is "Marie," about her older sister's influence on her after the death of their mother at an early age. It's a reminder of just how important one's family can be during the hard times.
57. "Sometimes" by H.E.R.
For the second year in a row while watching the Grammy Awards, I was floored by a performance by H.E.R. In 2019 it was her performance of "Hard Place." This year it was the performance of "Sometimes" and it has stuck with me all year. Let's get one thing straight – H.E.R. is a R&B artist. So if you want to scoff at me passing her off as Americana for the purpose of this list go for it – but honestly isn't Americana supposed to be this huge melting pot of musical forms that developed in this country and R&B and soul belong as much as country, folk, blues and what have you within the community. The vocals and guitar playing by H.E.R. on this track, which is an inspirational anthem about getting through life even when things aren't going your way.
56. "Small Town Hypocrite" by Caylee Hammack
You wouldn't know Caylee Hammack was merely 26 years old upon hearing "Small Town Hypocrite," with such a maturity and knowing to it when it comes to someone dreaming of getting out of their small-town feeling their too good for it only to find themselves trapped there for seemingly eternity. The fact that such a song comes on her debut album, If It Wasn't For You, is also remarkable. "Small Town Hypocrite" sees its narrator give up on her dreams at a young age to marry a high school sweetheart, only to settle down and have kids and have the guy leave. There's much reality to Hammack's song who gave up a music scholarship to Belmont University for a boy who told her he couldn't go on without her. She may have given up on that particular dream, but something tells me Hammack is going to be OK.
55. "Someone to Use" by Hellbound Glory
Hellbound Glory is certainly no stranger to debauchery, but his most recent album proudly called Pure Scum makes debauchery sound smoother and classic countrier than he ever has on record before. One of the biggest highlights of the record is "Someone to Use," a loving tribute to sex with no strings attached as a means of soothing away his loneliness. Sure, it's not going to make any list of "true love" songs, but it's something many in the age of Tinder booty calls can identify with.
54. All the Pretty Colors" by Sturgill Simpson
In May Sturgill Simpson told his followers on Instagram that if they raised $1 million for a multitude of charities in a matter of two weeks, he would repay their philanthropy with two records this year. His fans lived up to their side of the bargain and in mid-October Simpson released Cuttin' Grass – Vol. 1 (Butcher Shoppe Sessions, which saw the Grammy-winning Kentuckian re-record many of his best songs from his previous albums in a bluegrass style. Many of my favorite Simpson songs were recorded for this album, including my all-time favorite "Living the Dream" (which topped this yearly list in 2014), but I wanted to feature something new to me and to many of Simpson's fans – one of the three songs Simpson on the album that he did with his previous band Sunday Valley that are really hard to find these days. My favorite of these threes is "All the Pretty Colors," which features exquisite lines like: "all the colors are bleeding/where's ol' Van Gogh when you need him/I bet you my left ear he can relate." Simpson got some of the best pickers in the world to play with him on this album and he continues to show he can pretty much do it all and in many different sounds.
53. "Clotilda's On Fire" by Shemekia Copeland
One of the great blues tracks of 2020 is "Clotilda's On Fire," from Shemekia Copeland's latest release Uncivil War. The song tells the tale of the last slave ship to smuggle African captives to American shores, long after the practice was outlawed, and how fire was set to the ship after delivering its captive passengers to destroy any evidence of the deed near the shores of the Alabama coast. The wreckage of the ship was just uncovered last year. Copeland sings about how the descendants of Clotilda, after being emancipated at the end of the Civil War, prospered by founding the all-black community of Africatown, just north of Mobile, Ala. It's a true rags-to-riches story and Copeland absolutely nails the vocal, with some fine guitar playing behind it.
52. "Hanging Tree" by Drew Moreland
I'm a sucker for a Western cowboy ballad – you know like the kind Marty Robbins popularized – and Texas country artist Drew Moreland released a good one this year in "Hanging Tree." The song finds our outlaw narrator, who grew up in a good family with big plans, who went wayward and now finds himself waiting at the hanging tree for his impending execution. There's some fine mandolin and fiddle on this track, especially the twang of the fiddle at the song's end that signifies the bottom of the gallows has given way and the rope has dropped.
51. "Song for Sam Cooke (Here in America)" by Dion feat. Paul Simon
One of the most touching and heartbreaking songs of 2020 is "Song for Sam Cooke (Here In America)" by Dion on his latest album Blues With Friends. Dion writes about touring the United States in the early '60s as one of the nation's top pop stars with fellow superstar singer and friend Sam Cooke and how it took doing so for him to see things in this country were completely different for a white Italian-American than they were for an African-American. It's a great tribute to his friend and a good listen for anybody needing an explainer about "white privilege." Dion is joined by the legendary Paul Simon on the track, who gives the song some terrific harmonies.

Full text of my Colorado Senate committee testimony on civil unions
Daniel Gonzales
Senator Pat Steadman, the bill's sponsor is seated next to me.
The Colorado Senate is holding committee hearings on the civil unions bill today and I will be testifying. I've noticed that Focus has been coming at the issue in the media from the angle of "the body of scientific research proves that children do best with a mom and a dad." Not one to let their abuse of research slide I have written a testimony that takes Focus head on. Full text after the jump.
My name is Daniel Gonzales, I am a former evangelical Christian and now write for the website Box Turtle Bulletin which monitors and analyzes
anti-gay rhetoric and junk science from across the country.
Focus on the Family has kept us busy over the years since they regularly mis-use scientific research to back up their religious beliefs.
In regards to the civil unions bill, this week Focus staffer Jenny Tyree has been telling the Colorado media that "Colorado children do best with a mom and a dad," unfortunately Focus has to misrepresent research in order to support that claim.
In a 2007 amicus brief the American Psychological Association declared that these studies Focus likes to cite in-fact only address the issue of two parent households being preferable to one-parent and that "all else being equal – children do better with two parenting figures rather than just one."
In other words, the studies that Focus uses to back up their claim found only that two parents are preferable to one, NOT that straight people make better parents than gay people.
Continuing the quote "The specific research studies typically cited in this regard do not address parents' sexual orientation."
According to the APA's 2005 pamphlet titled "lesbian and gay parenting" Systematic research on children in gay families didn't even appear in major professional journals until the late 1970s. So most of these older studies Focus cites did not even include gay and lesbian families or couldn't obtain a representative sample.
The APA states that only in recent years has what it deems a "considerable body of research" finally become available on gay families.
And of course that research has shown that gay people are just as fit to be parents as straight people. The American Academy of Pediatrics and American Psychiatric Association have also issuing statements to this effect.
Focus has such a track record of distorting and misusing scientific research that the website RespectMyResearch.org has been created to give scientists a platform to address mis-use of their research by Focus. Scientists from Columbia University, Yale University School of Medicine, New York University, and the University of British Columbia, have all spoken out publicly against Focus' mis-use of their research.
Also I'd like to remind everyone here that almost 40 years ago homosexuality stopped being considered a mental illness, yet to this day Focus still tells gay people they should enter "straight conversion programs" and "pray the gay away."
In fact, all the evidence points in the opposite direction, that gays can not go straight and that gay people raise children just as well as straight people do.
With the wealth of new research on gay families it's unfortunate Focus hasn't used this science to inform their religious beliefs. Instead they're continuing their long history of attempting to twist science to match their particular interpretation of the bible.
We all know that Focus views gay families as inferior to straight families but they like to pretend that enacting civil unions here in Colorado will somehow magically create gay and lesbian families raising kids.
Newsflash, gay and lesbian families already exist here and will continue to exist regardless of this bill. The only question here is, will you the legislature pass this bill giving us the protections our families and our children need.
TomTallis
Bravo!! ^5!
Hyhybt
Very well-put.
Ben in Oakland
Daniel– I think what you said is great. You seem to have missed an opportunity to remind the legislature that:
1) the issue of "children do best" is at best peripheral to the issue of civil unions, which is not about children but about adults and the legal formation of family, the building block of society.
As you rightly noted however…
2) Gay people have children, and more will, and those children require the same kind of legal protection that having legally recognized parents provides them.
Moreover, gay people are frequently adopting the unwanted, castoff products of irresponsible heterosexual reproduction, though you don't want to put it that way because heterosexuals do NOT like wallowing in their own hypocrisy, I mean, being reminded of their shortcomings. The issue is not between two gay parents and two straight parents, but between two parents of whatever gender and NO PARENTS.
"I am a former evangelical Christian"
"Focus hasn't used this science to inform their religious beliefs."
Once again, it all comes down to
religious hubris. Maybe it takes a god to make second class citizens.
Christopher Eberz
Knocked it out of the Park Daniel, Bravo :-)
I have this fantasy of mine where all who speak in defense of gay rights, from LGBT to allies, be it on cable news or in front of committees, speak with the breadth of knowledge that is seen from you guys here on BTB.
Keep up the fantastic work, and may it *spread*.
Very well stated. I thought that Daniel was correct to focus on the children issue because he was explicitly answering FoF's disinformation.
Way to go Daniel.
customartist
Was the Committee provided with all of the actual (true/authentic) research cited, or would the Committee have to seek this out on their own?
Customartist,
The two documents I cited are each 80 pages so yes I presented one set to the bill's sponsor Pat Steadman.
Rachel H
Fantastic work. Thank you.
Focus didn't put a single expert witness on the stand during the Prop8 trial…
"all else being equal – children do better with a mom and a dad."
I've been trying to come up with good ways to express/explain that this formulation (especially compelling to at least one judge at the D9 appeals court) is
a) not a good way of thinking about the underlying moral issue
b) an impermissible rank-ordering, either ordinal or fractional
On (a), we do not have "rival goods", necessarily to weigh in this way, even if we could
On (b), all else is not equal. Children of gay parents are by definition wanted. What's more, there are no gay abortions.
Thank you Daniel. The info you shared was very valuable. Hopefully it makes a difference in Co.

Cervical necrotizing fasciitis: an overlooked diagnosis of a fatal disease
Mohamed A. Al-Ali, Ashraf F. Hefny, Kamal M. Idris, Fikri M. Abu-Zidan
Background: Necrotizing fasciitis of the neck is a rare potentially lethal condition if not early diagnosed and managed. We aimed to study the clinical presentation, radiological and microbiological diagnosis, management, and surgical outcome of patients having cervical necrotizing fasciitis (CNF). Materials and methods: We retrospectively studied patients having a final diagnosis of CNF who were treated at Al Ain Hospital during the period of January 2000 to December 2016. Results: Six patients with CNF were studied. Diabetes mellitus was the most common predisposing factor (83.3%). All patients presented with a painful neck swelling. The most common source of infection was odontogenic. Mixed microbiological flora was present in five patients. Five patients underwent CT scan of the head and neck with a positive finding of gas in all of them. Repeated aggressive surgical debridement in combination with antibiotic therapy was adopted. Four patients (66.7%) developed superior mediastinitis, two had septicemia, and one patient had a perforated duodenal ulcer. One patient died (overall mortality 16.7%). Conclusion: Maintaining a high index of suspicion is crucially important for diagnosing CNF. Early diagnosis, timely resuscitation, and aggressive surgical debridement are the key to a successful clinical outcome.

Four patients (66.7%) developed superior mediastinitis, two had septicemia, and one patient had a perforated duodenal ulcer. One patient died (overall mortality 16.7%). Conclusion: Maintaining a high index of suspicion is crucially important for diagnosing CNF. Early diagnosis, timely resuscitation, and aggressive surgical debridement are the key to a successful clinical outcome.

Cool Kid Cody's Totally Unreal Radical Quest for Godhood is a thoroughly bizarre adventure that sees you attempting to prove how cool you are to a skate-cat god so that they bestow the powers of godhood upon you.
Cool Kid Cody's Totally Unreal Radical Quest for Godhood features a strange mix of platforming, puzzle solving and visual novel-style gameplay as you take Cool Kid Cody on his quest for godhood. Cody is (or thinks he is) the coolest kid in his class (and the world). How cool can he be you may ask? Well cool enough to make his teacher explode by just winking at them and giving them the thumbs up – so pretty damn cool. But is he cool enough to become a god?
Taking around 20 minutes to play through, Cool Kid Cody's Totally Unreal Radical Quest for Godhood takes some wonderfully weird twists through its short play time. It's not just the story that's surprising either, it shakes up the gameplay too, with it switching from a puzzle adventure to a skateboarding platforming game at the drop of a hat.
The skateboarding section can be a little confusing initially, but other than that it's a fun game with a fantastic visual style, a groovy soundtrack, quirky characters and a wonderfully weird narrative. Cody's adventures are pretty damn crazy, but it's a joy coming along for the ride.
Love the visuals and concept so far! My main concerns are with some of the clarity with what to do next like the transition from the classroom to the platforming. Perhaps a character art splash screen or a sick trick animation could help indicate a segway in gameplay also I'm afraid some of the more recent references and memes in the dialogue might date the game really quickly.
Aside from that I think this is a wonderful start! The over all tone and style feels consistent and I look forward to where the adventure leads!

City Initiates Major Human Trafficking Program Ahead Of Casino Opening
by Seth Daniel • March 15, 2019 • 0 Comments
Everett City administration workers were just in the midst of getting ready to launch a human trafficking campaign when – only steps from City Hall – a massage parlor was busted where a woman was offering prostitution to an undercover police officer – a woman that police are looking at as being trafficked in for the sex trade.
Such situations exist all over Greater Boston on every corner and in every business district, and just ahead of thousands more people coming to Everett for the Encore Boston Harbor casino, it's exactly why the City chose to pursue the idea of putting a stop to human trafficking right now.
That priority by the administration resulted in Everett winning a coveted grant sponsored by the City of Houston and a foundation set up there to combat human trafficking. Everett is only one of 20 cities nationwide that won the first round of the program, called the Ten-Ten Municipal Fellowship, and the only city in the northeast.
"We became aware of an opportunity in November where you work with Houston on the issue of Human Trafficking – both sex trafficking and labor trafficking," said Catherine Rollins Denisi of the Mayor's Office. "Interestingly, the labor trafficking is far more common, but sex trafficking gets more publicity. We applied in November because we know it's an issue everywhere. We're not talking about this as an Everett-only issue or an urban issue. We know it's everywhere. From research, we know when you have proximity to an airport and are targeting international tourism, you need to be proactive on this from a municipal standpoint. In anticipation of the casino opening, we know there are going to be thousands of tourists and potentially growth in this."
Mayor Carlo DeMaria said he is happy to take a pro-active step to working with officials in Houston in combating human trafficking.
"Given recent media headlines, I know that many people have been discussing the crime of human trafficking," he said. "And over the coming months, my administration will be working to raise public awareness about human trafficking, which knows no borders and happens in communities across the state and the nation. I am proud that, since November of last year, the City of Everett has been one of 20 cities in the country to participate in the Human Trafficking Response Ten/Ten Muni-Fellowship, led by the City of Houston and Mayor Sylvester Turner. We will implement the municipal best practices established in Houston, and most importantly, we will turn to our community to help us with this critical work."
Houston began the initiative because it was one of the cities in America with the largest problem of human trafficking. They were drawn to the issue when a local church identified that women were being trafficked, and mounted a letter-writing campaign. After some 5,000 letters, the City of Houston was on board. They were the first in the U.S. to bring on five full-time workers to investigate human trafficking, and also to cross train existing employees to be able to spot signs of a trafficking operation.
In Massachusetts, there were more than 3,000 reports of human trafficking, and Denisi said that is probably low because it is an underreported crime.
"You know that's just the tip of the iceberg because it is very under-reported," she said.
As Denisi was working on the grant, traveling to Houston and learning from them, several things happened to bring human trafficking into the spotlight – including the case against Patriots owner Robert Kraft and the bus of the massage parlor a few blocks from City Hall.
Denisi said it gives good momentum to the effort that Everett is about to launch.
Part of the effort will be launching an awareness campaign for the public to know that women at such places are being trafficked and, sometimes, held against their will. Denisi said many people don't know exactly what is going on, and the awareness campaign will bring light to that, as well as give information about how to report it.
"Part of this will be letting the residents know there are victims of trafficking in our community and communities around us," she said.
That campaign is titled, 'Watch for Traffick' and it will soon be part of a major blitz of information coming from the city through all media sources.
An early initiative is to work with the Procurement Office to create contract language for all vendors to sign saying they will not be using trafficked labor to the best of their knowledge.
That, she said, is something the federal government did, and larger cities are also doing.
"We know we are significantly smaller than Houston or other big cities, but we think it sends the right message."
Other early ideas include working with taxi drivers and other ride operators to post stickers in their vehicles, and to also be prepared to spot the signs of trafficking.
"These transportation operators are very commonly used to transport victims of trafficking," she said. "We would like to get them to recognize and report the signs, but even just partnering with them to put the sticker in their vehicles would be helpful."
The initiative will kick off this month, and will be in place for the run-up to the opening of the casino.
If you are a victim of human trafficking or know someone who might be, help is available (in 200 languages) by calling the National Human Trafficking Hotline at 1-888-373-7888 or sending a text to BeFree (233733).

26/11 Mumbai attacks: Five revelations made by former Pakistan top cop Tariq Khosa
Former Pakistan top cop Tariq Khosa has pointed to his country's involvement in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks.

26/11 Mumbai attacks: The Taj Palace hotel in Mumbai attacked by terrorists during the siege in 2008
In an editorial in the Dawn newspaper, Tariq Khosa, former DG of Pakistan's Federal Investigation Agency, said that the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks was 'planned and launched from its soil.'
Khosa, who supervised the investigation into the case, went on to present several facts, all of which had been expressly stated by India. Khosa's editorial comes at a time when India has raised reservation about the Pakistan government's inadequate efforts to detain Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, a mastermind in the case, in jail. Lakhvi was released on bail in April this year. Khosa also called for legal experts from both sides to sit together rather than 'sulk and point fingers.'
Here are the top revelations that Khosa made in his editorial.
1. Ajmal Kasab, the lone terrorist captured alive by Mumbai police and later hanged, was a Pakistani national whose initial schooling and residence was in Pakistan, Khosa writes. His joining of the banned Lashkar-e-Taiba also took place in Pakistan.

2. The terrorists were given training at a place near Thatta in Sindh province in Pakistan. It was from there that the terrorists launched the attack through sea, says Khosa.
3. Khosa writes that the fishing trawler that the terrorists used to hijack the Indian trawler, that they later used to sail to Mumbai, was reportedly brought back to a harbour in Pakistan, painted and concealed. Investigators had chanced upon the trawler, which helped them connect it to the accused in the case.
4. The operations room in Karachi, from where the terrorists directed the attack, was established by investigators, Khosi says.
5. Investigators were also able to identify the alleged LeT commander and his deputies involved in the dastardly attack, Khosi states.

'It's going to take a lot of work': Deontay Wilder's trainer unsure if Anthony Joshua can recover from Andy Ruiz Jnr defeat but insists door is open for fight down the line
Anthony Joshua suffered a shock defeat by Andy Ruiz at Madison Square Garden
The Brit is likely to face the Mexican in a rematch at Cardiff later this year
Jay Deas fears he could struggle to mentally recover from the crushing defeat
He says that a fight wit Joshua still remains on Deontay Wilder's radar
By Daniel Matthews For Mailonline
The door remains open for Anthony Joshua to face Deontay Wilder in the biggest fight in world boxing - but the American's trainer fears AJ could struggle to mentally recover from his crushing defeat by Andy Ruiz Jnr.
Joshua surrendered his WBA, IBF and WBO world heavyweight titles at Madison Square Garden on Saturday after being floored four times in one of the biggest upsets in heavyweight history.
The defeat curtailed - at least for now - AJ's hoping of facing Tyson Fury, or WBC champion Wilder for the undisputed title.
Deontay Wilder's trainer and co-manager Jay Deas (L)is unsure if Anthony Joshua can recover
'Last night he wanted the belts back, this morning it was... Will Anthony Joshua ever be the same again? Even his...
But Wilder's trainer and co-manager Jay Deas revealed the fight remains on their radar - provided AJ can overcome the mental turmoil of a knockout defeat.
The two teams have so far failed to find common ground in protracted negotiations but Deas told Sportsmail: 'We always wanted this fight... there's only so far in the future you can plot because boxing is boxing and, as AJ would attest to, anything can happen.... (but) that's still a fight that, if the fans want it, and AJ comes back and does what he's capable of doing, then that will be a huge fight and would be very attractive to us.'
On whether Joshua will be able to rebuild his career, Deas added: 'It's going to take a lot of work because you never know mentally - some people are like Sugar Ray Leonard and can come right back off a big loss. (But) this was a knockout loss, it is a difficult one.
'There will be people who say he quit, people who say he didn't show the skill level or heart or whatever. He has all that but (maybe) something got lost in translation - Ricky Hatton was always a better fighter in the UK than he was in the States... I don't know exactly what happened with AJ.'
Joshua looks on following his shock defeat by Andy Ruiz in New York on Saturday
Joshua is expected to face Ruiz in an immediate rematch as he bids to regain his place atop the division before the end of the year.
Wilder, meanwhile, has already signed for rematches with Luis Ortiz and Fury in the autumn and early next year, respectively.
Next summer, though, Deas said Team Wilder remain 'wide open'.
The trainer spoke to Wilder after Saturday's upset and Deas suggested the WBC champion had hoped his rival would win on his American debut.
'We texted back and forth throughout the night and I think he had anticipated it would be a tough fight as well,' Deas said. But did Wilder want him to win? 'I think from a business standpoint obviously you'd obviously want him and Deontay to be undefeated going into a colossal match. It's still a huge match,' he said.
Joshua looks on from the canvas after being knocked down on his way to defeat
'AJ has a bit of work to do (but) If he can come back, and knock Andy out... people have short memories, all will essentially be forgiven and it'll be the biggest fight that can be made once again.'
Though Deas admitted he was shocked to see AJ chopped down by Mexico's first ever heavyweight world champion, he always felt Ruiz was a 'risky' opponent.
The trainer even revealed Wilder was offered a fight against Ruiz in 2016 but he voiced his opposition at the time because 'the guy is really good but if you beat him you're not going to get any credit because the average person that doesn't know anything is going to say "who is that fat guy you are fighting?"
He added: 'You're talking about a very, very good fighter... I didn't see anything out of the ordinary (from Joshua), I think Ruiz pressed the attack and kept making AJ answer questions that eventually he didn't have the answer for... if anybody thinks just because a rematch is signed it's an automatic victory for AJ they need to think again.'
Deas revealed that a fight with Joshua down the line still remains on Wilder's radar
Deas is certain of one thing, though: Saturday's seismic shock has caused a huge shift in the heavyweight game of thrones.
'We've always felt that Deontay was the prime attraction in the division. I know AJ was drawing huge numbers in the UK and that's what made it such a compelling fight but now I think after last night... Deontay Wilder is regarded as THE heavyweight champion and everyone realises that,' he said.
'Perhaps before some people would say Deontay and others AJ but after last night... the king of the hill is Deontay Wilder.'

Antoine Kohlmann (aux États-Unis : Anthony Kohlmann), né le 28 juin 1771 à  Kaysersberg (Alsace) et décédé le 10 avril 1836 à Rome, était un prêtre jésuite français (alsacien), missionnaire dans la région orientale des États-Unis, fondateur et administrateur apostolique du diocèse de New York, directeur de collèges et, plus tard (1824), professeur de théologie à l'université grégorienne de Rome.

Biographie

Jeunesse et premières années
Né à Kaysersberg (Alsace) le 28 juin 1771, Antoine Kohlmann a 18 ans et se trouve au séminaire de Strasbourg lorsque la Révolution française éclate (1789). Il part en exil pour poursuivre à Fribourg, en Suisse une formation qui lui permette d'être prêtre. Il est ordonné prêtre à Fribourg le 26 mars 1796 et entre peu après dans la 'Compagnie du Sacré-Cœur', un institut religieux fondé par Léonor deTournely pour prendre la relève de la Compagnie de Jésus supprimée en 1773.   Kohlmann œuvre dans des hôpitaux militaires d'Autriche et d'Italie. Il est particulièrement actif durant l'épidémie de Hagenbrunn en 1799.

La même année la 'Compagnie du Sacré-Cœur' et un autre institut ignacien la 'Compagnie de la foi de Jésus' fusionnent.  En tant que 'père de la Foi' Kohlmann est recteur du séminaire de Dillingen, en Allemagne (1800-1802), puis directeur des collèges de Berlin et d'Amsterdam.

Admission chez les Jésuites
A Amsterdam Kohlmann est en contact avec le père Adam Beckers, curé de l'église de Krijtberg, qui venait d'être réadmis dans la Compagnie de Jésus en Russie.  Ce dernier lui conseille de faire la même démarche. Après deux ans d'attente (1803-1805) passée au collège de Kensington (Angleterre) Antoine Kohlmann reçoit du père Gabriel Grüber, Supérieur des jésuites en Russie, sa lettre d'admission. Il part immédiatement faire son noviciat à Dunabourg (Daugavpils aujourd'hui en Lettonie). (28 juin 1805).

Un an plus tard, bien qu'encore novice il est envoyé avec le père Pierre Epinette au Maryland, pour y soutenir la mission catholique nouvellement rétablie. Il est assistant du maître des novices Francis Neale, à Georgetown (Washington D.C.). L'évêque de Baltimore Carroll l'envoie plusieurs fois visiter les communautés catholiques allemandes de Pennsylvanie, Virginie et Maryland.

Administrateur apostolique à New York
En 1808 le père Kohlmann est nommé Vicaire général (puis administrateur apostolique) du diocèse de New York tout récemment créé (1808), dont le premier évêque Mgr Concanen est empêché. Kohlmann est, de facto, le fondateur du diocèse de New York. Il y réconcilie plusieurs curés en conflit avec leur évêque, John Carroll (de Baltimore). En 1809 il pose la première pierre de la première cathédrale Saint-Patrick.

Il a compris l'importance de la ville dans l'avenir de la jeune république des États-Unis et s'investit dans l'éducation : il ouvre une école de garçons, invite les Ursulines pour l'éducation féminine et ouvre un orphelinat.

En 1813 il est au centre d'une 'cause célèbre' en refusant de révéler le nom d'un voleur qui, sous le secret de la confession, lui avait restitué des biens volés. Malgré l'insistance du propriétaire qui s'adresse à la justice pour faire pression sur lui, le père Kohlmann reste inflexible. Il obtient gain de cause.  L'affaire fait grand bruit et, après New York, 29 états américains reconnurent le droit des ministres du culte de ne pas révéler ce qu'ils connaissent de par le sacrement de la confession.

Supérieur au Maryland
En 1815, un nouvel évêque (John Connolly) étant arrivé à New York, Kohlmann retourne au Maryland où il est maître des novices (1815-1817) puis supérieur de la mission (1817) et de plus, l'année suivante, recteur du collège de Georgetown. Non sans rencontrer de l'opposition parmi ses confrères jésuites qui estimaient devoir avant tout rétablir d'anciennes missions, Kohlmann pousse à l'éducation et la création de collèges dans les nouvelles villes américaines.

Théologien et professeur à Rome
Kohlmann est recteur du séminaire de Washington (depuis 1820) lorsqu'il est appelé à Rome, en 1824, par le Supérieur Général des Jésuites. Luigi Fortis, pour tenir la chaire de théologie dogmatique à l'Université grégorienne qui, la même année, est à nouveau confiée par Léon XII aux Jésuites. Parmi ses étudiants : Gioacchino Pecci, le futur Léon XIII.

A Rome il est également consulteur à la 'Congrégation des Réguliers'. Sainte Euphrasie Pelletier reconnaîtra que c'est grâce à lui que sa Congrégation du Bon pasteur reçut sa reconnaissance canonique (en 1835).

Dans les dernières années de sa vie Kohlmann passe de nombreuses heures dans son confessionnal du Gesù. Il réconcilie le théologien oratorien allemand Augustin Theiner avec l'Église.  Il meurt à Rome le 10 avril 1836.

Most of us have a textbook view of the nerve roots emerging from the spinal cord and running transversely in the neck and the subsequent spinal nerves (thoracic, lumbar) progressively slanting more vertically. Why? Well, the spinal cord fills the entire spinal canal for the first few months of foetal life. The cord is anchored cranially and at about 4 months the spine begins to grows faster than the cord and thus roots begin to run obliquely.
However, in around 70-75% of people, the thoracic (especially upper) and lower cervical roots ascend in the spinal canal. The percentage of people with ascending roots increasing over the age of 25 years. The anomaly (though we could argue if it is an anomaly) appears to develop in early adult life with no increase in frequency in older groups.
This research comes mainly from dissections of around 130 cadavers by two groups – one in New Zealand (Reid 1960) and in Israel (Nathan & Feuerstein 1970).
Ascending thoracic roots on the treatment couch?
Later on I checked the net – no new research since 1970 – researchers have fled to the brain! So I dug out my old references (from my musty filing cabinet of course – the internet never goes back far enough to the good stuff). No specific causes for the ascending roots could be found – the pathological correlation work was never done and the authors leave it as multiple causes including local dural contraction and adhesion and suggestions that the dura and cord have not "kept up" with spinal canal changes. Growth spurt changes may be involved, yet the anomalies seem more common after the growth spurt. I wondered about general lumbar and lower thoracic spinal inflexibility especially with a western lifestyle – our chairs, our limited squatting, our fear of the lumbar region – is it just pulling the dura down – that's what it looks like in the image. The two groups both suggest, that the anomalies may make an individual more susceptible to local traumatic lesions and circulatory disturbance. Maybe that is what I am seeing in my patient?
Well… I would never say 'wow – I reckon your nerve roots could be angulated and going the wrong way'. But I will continue with movement and educational therapies aiming to liberate whole body movement and function and that also seeks a mechanically permissible spine, meninges and cord, all in a framework with perhaps just a little more understanding of why something hurts.
As you suggest 70-75% prevalence probably represents a norm rather than an exception?
Also, what are your thoughts on how this relates to the 'C6-T6-L4 zones of relative neuro-meningeal immobility'?
Lastly, the image is interesting as the lower thoracic nerve roots pictured pictured (to T9 as described), may perhaps be expected to be more horizontal if the dura -cord were being pulled up to T6?
It may well relate to the neuromeningeal structures moving downwards in relation to the spinal canal in the zone between C6 and T6 as it adapts from spinal extension to flexion – this feature was demonstrated a number of times in the 80s. I thought that maybe with lumbar (or cervical stiffness) that this feature may have been enhanced but in Reid's dissections about half of those with ascending roots had tight dura mater and the other half had slack dura.
Thoracic pain is really troublesome – I often think that these tantalising clues to something special going on in the area need more investigation.
It may well be developmental and comparison with other mammals would be a sensible place to restart research. Some of the neuromeningeal movement studies were carried out on monkeys in the 1950s and 60s and it wasn't recorded then although it probably wasn't examined.
Did you consider anomalous root anatomy?
Anomalies are common in the nervous system – I often wonder when does an anomaly become normal anatomy. These anomalous roots appear to be associated with development early in adult life. There are a lot of unanswered questions though.


I bought this phone for my better half and gifted it during a valentines before wedding in 2008. For some reason this phone gets into some issues and after a brief shut down everything gets fixed on its own.
1. Gets very hot while talking and charging - Still persists.
2. Display never goes off - Solved by its own.
Stopped using it and switched on after a year (today) and its working like a charm now.
Must say its a SOLID BUILD like a tank!
Looking for the charger which i misplaced somewhere, also looking to do a full service at Samsung service center, not sure whether they will take it.
I have used L700 for close to 5 years and am still using it. One major problem that I have faced is that if it is kept in your pocket and close your skin for long, it burns your skin over time. It could be because of the metalic body combined with the fact that I always keep my phone on vibration mode. I now put it in a hard cover to avoid the problem. Another problem I face is that something has gone wrong with its software and I am no longer able to read service text messages. I can read all SMS except the ones sent by my service provider as only special characters appear instead of alphabets. Apart from the above I have faced no problems at all. I have never had to repair it even once in close to 5 years that I have used it.
I am having the Samsung, unfutunately the display has disconnected. Original display not avalable in Kurnool district. I came to know that this old model and it is not available. Please let me know avaijabulity and its cost may be informed.
It is just like AK-47. I mean a device whatever like use. Zero maintenance phone. A great Modem (window7). Awesome internet speed with ucWeb(itz basic browser is nt so good). Superb battery back-up(look its last line of battery signal,how long it work). Youtube without buffering(depends on ur network streingth). Excellent 2mp cam. Great look. I am negleting even Android 4.1 os. Due to this. No even single problem since 2008. I will use this phone till it will destroy itself. (may b aftr 10 to 20 years ;) ha ha ha.) full paisa wasool phone. Even u can use this as a arm,during fighting. Itz heavyduty steel body can keel someone(when no way to save our soul) ***** star phone. I m lovin it.
so nice phone for common man.and long time going.
Honestly, it's been four years I've been using this as a second phone, and it still works like a charm! AMAZING!
Is this handset whatsapp compatible?
yes you can. my phone fell alot of times too and still great as it was before. no questions about the great build quality.
but my phone fell in water 2 times. both times phone died and in 2 days it woke up itself. amazing, isn't it?
it was my first phone and amazing phone it is.
very good phone..i am using for the past 5 years,,only thing that it gets hanged with new 3g sim.
Eve, 09 Feb 2013I actually got this phone when it came and I've been using it since, which means I've used it ... moreI don't believe this! My samsung L700 has been fallen one time to the ground and the internal microphone doesn't work anymore, so now it is impossible to call without the headphones. Despite this it's a good phone. Someone an idea if it's possible to repair the microphone?
4 years! Although I had to put tape around the phone, but it still works!
I actually got this phone when it came and I've been using it since, which means I've used it for about five years - even though I have had some other phones now and then - and it is the perfect phone.
Maybe it's not high-tech touch/smartphone but hey if you dropped this from the empire state building or the eiffeltower I bet it would work just fine when you got it back to one piece again.
I LOVE this phone guys.
how to turn off t9 forever???

11.99 for ONE Episode! No way.
By TrevorM7
I'm not paying 12 bucks for a 38 minute episode. Don't care who it is. Not worth that much!
Poehler deserves better!
By lydiakj
This video is disappointing. Don't get me wrong, it is funny. But, I LOVE Amy Poehler, and I could have probably found several hours worth of material for a 'best of' compilation...and only a handful of Amy P's actual Best work on SNL is on this video. Meanwhile, sketches that have nothing to do with her, like the Herpes thing and the exercise video, take up tons of time. KAITLIN is one of the best acting performances on SNL in the last decade, in my opinion, and not even a snippet of her is on this supposed Best Of. There are a few other sketches I missed, like Undercover America, but what I really can't believe they didn't include were her best moments from Weekend Update. I know the Palin Rap is amazing, but her delivery of news headlines is so great it got her an Emmy nomination. I mean, there's not even a "Really!? With Seth and Amy" included. I mean, Really!? SNL? Really? If they don't have a volume 2 in the works for some future promotion, then this is really a shame of a collection.
Not Even the NBC Store sells this for $12
By Infantino27
If you go to the nbc universal online store, the best of amy poehler is 1 hour and 21 minutes and only $8. While I like the convenience of having this on my computer with out any disks, not worth it for the limited time and inflated price
By jeant2122
They did not find amy's best, even if the skits were funny.
Amy is my fave, but ....
By MyOpCounts
Amy is the best - I was pumped that I found her "Best Of" on iTunes, but it's not good! It's not even complete sketches - it's 12 -30 seconds of her from different sketches; Hardly enough to let a joke build or even showcase her talent. I wish I could return :(
Amy deserves better!!!
By Erinbarin23
When you watch the male comic lead's versions of "best of", it's every character they've done, and a heck of a lot more than 38 mins! Amy is way more talented than a lot of the other cast members of notoriety. My favorite character, Caitlyn, was not even shown! I mean really SNL, total disappointment! Amy deserves a complete compilation of sketches and characters, EPIC FAIL!
WHERE IS AMBER?!
By maddi337
i feel that amber is one of amy's best characters. i can not find any footage of her as amber ANYWHERE!!!! it is insane
By HarryPotter4DrPepper
ok. i loooove comedy,and amy is great! but a full 2 hrs of JEFF DUNHAM for $15 is better than 38 minutes of snl for $12. i mean, SIRIOUSLY!?! A 3 DOLLAR DIFFERENCE!

Dont get me wrong, I love amy poehler, but I am NOT going to pay 9.99 for just 38 minutes of her best moments. PLEASE LOWER THE PRICE!

Brexit: Johnson deal threatens division and race to the bottom
The seemingly intractable problem of Brexit continues. After MPs rejected Boris Johnson's plans to rush his deal with the EU through in three days, a further extension requested by Parliament against the wishes of the government was granted. Now, voters are set to go to the polls on 12th December after Jeremy Corbyn's Labour backed the call, assured that a 'no deal' Brexit is effectively off the table.
It is no wonder that many people are fed up with this saga. Nonetheless, Johnson's plan for a 'bargain basement' Brexit has important implications for workers, particularly in Northern Ireland, and should be opposed.
For socialists, Brexit is symptomatic of a broader crisis for capitalism globally. This is reflected in the escalation of a trade war between the US and China, the two largest capitalist powers in the world, alongside elements of a process of "de-globalisation", with the emergence of protectionism and inter-imperialist rivalry more generally. Politically, it also reflects a crisis of the "extreme centre", the neo-liberal consensus of cuts, privatisation and an unfettered 'free market' which has dominated for decades. This has resulted in the rise of left-wing, reformist leaders like Corbyn and Sanders, but also right-populists like Johnson and Trump.
No race to the bottom
There are two main differences between Johnson's deal and that negotiated by Theresa May. It removes legally binding commitments to ensure workers' rights and environmental standards are aligned with the EU in order to provide a 'level playing field'. This is aimed at winning over the Tory hard right, who dream of a "Singapore-on-Thames" and plan to recast Britain as a low-tax and low-regulation economy.
Despite assurances from Johnson, in order to gain support from some Labour MPs, these issues will ultimately be dealt with in future trade negotiations – not just between the EU and UK, but also between the UK and US. The Trump administration has already set out its stall for such negotiations, including the removal of food standards which block the import of chlorine-washed chicken, hormone-pumped beef and so on. A future trade deal could also threaten the cherry-picking of the NHS for privatisation, similar to the defeated EU-US free trade agreement TTIP, as well as increases in the cost of medicines by US pharmaceutical giants.
At the same time, the Johnson-EU deal includes a commitment that, "The Parties should in particular maintain a robust and comprehensive framework for competition and state aid control that prevents undue distortion of trade and competition." In other words, the British government would still be bound by EU rules which block socialist measures such as nationalisation, despite no longer being in the single market. This, in part, is to mark the cards of a potential Corbyn government, creating barriers to implementing popular measures like bringing the railways and other sectors of the economy into public ownership.
The border problem
The second related change is the removal of May's proposed 'Irish backstop'. The new arrangement would mean that Northern Ireland will leave the customs union with Britain but will remain closely aligned to the single market regulations. There would be customs checks on goods travelling between Britain and Northern Ireland, and potentially regulatory checks as Britain diverges from EU standards. This would effectively mean a hardening of an east-west border.
Stormont – if functioning – would have a say on how long alignment to the single market would last, but the mechanism would be very different from the "time-limited backstop" the DUP were prepared to accept. If a majority of MLAs designated as Unionist and nationalist both vote in favour, then the next vote would take place in eight years. If it is passed by a simple majority, then the next vote would take place in four years. This is an important shift in how contentious issues are dealt with at Stormont, and would effectively mean that the question of whether there should be a harder border between North and South or between Britain and Northern Ireland will be a looming issue to be regularly returned to.
This deal only adds to the legitimate feeling of insecurity felt about the future by many ordinary Protestants. If there is a perception over time that their identity and the integrity of the Union is being further diminished and that Northern Ireland is being forced into an "economic united ireland", it could provoke a serious reaction, as we have seen in the past. A very large recent public meeting involving prominent figures associated with loyalist paramilitaries heard talk of protests against this "betrayal" gives an indication that protests similar to those against the removal of the Union flag from Belfast City Hall are possible.
This is not simply a question of the attitudes of the DUP or other Unionist/loyalist organisations, but the concerns and fears of working-class Protestants. This is reflected in a recent LucidTalk poll, which showed that 53% of Unionists would prefer a 'no deal' Brexit over Johnson's agreement, while only a third said they preferred the deal. Similarly, in a choice between remaining in the EU and Johnson's deal, 43% chose to remain while 37% opted for the deal. Meanwhile, Sinn Féin have welcomed the deal as a "halfway house", as have representatives of other pro-remain parties.
Workers' movement must act
Socialists have a responsibility to oppose any measure which would heighten sectarianism in Northern Ireland. That includes any hardening of borders, be it east/west – as with Johnson's deal – or north/south, which would not be tolerated, particularly by Catholics who would see it as copper-fastening partition. As the Socialist Party has consistently argued throughout the Brexit negotiations, the trade union movement – which unites almost 250,000 workers in Northern Ireland, from across the sectarian divide – must be prepared to take action against any moves which will inflame tensions.
The General Secretary of the Irish Congress of Trade Unions (ICTU), Patricia King, said Brexit was an emergency situation facing workers, North and South. We agree. It is clear that capitalist governments and employers will attempt to use Brexit as an excuse to attack workers' jobs, pay and conditions. Unfortunately, the response of the ICTU leadership to date has been limited to demands like calling for the use of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund to assist workers who lose their jobs in the context of Brexit. This is entirely insufficient. The movement must prepare for a fight to defend jobs and conditions. The recent struggles of the Harland & Wolff and Wrightbus workers show what is needed: militant trade unionism. These workers also raised an essential demand to safeguard jobs in the long run – nationalisation.
This agreement – like any which could be negotiated between the Tories and the EU – is a deal between two capitalist blocs and is not in the interests of working-class people. Socialists and the labour movement must reject the false choice between a Tory-led Brexit – with or without a deal – or remaining in the institutionally neo-liberal EU. The Labour Party conference's rejection of a hard 'remain' position is a partial defeat for the Blairites, who represent the interests of British capitalism and who seek to use confusion around Brexit to undermine Corbyn. The leadership's resolution, which passed, is for a Labour government to re-negotiate a deal with the EU and then put it to a confirmatory referendum with the option of remaining in the EU on the ballot paper.
Fight general election with socialist policies
With a general election looming, Corbyn must put forward a clear programme which can speak to working-class voters, whether they backed 'leave' or 'remain' in 2016. Against the right-wing populism of Boris Johnson – who will attempt to present himself as the defender of the people against an out-of-touch Parliament and committed to "getting Brexit done" – a combative, socialist message is more necessary than ever. Corbyn should articulate and campaign for a socialist exit from the EU which would free a future government under his leadership from the restrictions on nationalisation, public spending and state intervention into the economy – which would act as a barrier to his policies – while guaranteeing workers' rights, migrants' rights, environmental safeguards and so on. Combined with demands for free education, reducing the working week, massive investment in social housing and renewable energy, democratic public ownership of key sectors of the economy and other pro-working class measures, it is possible for him to secure a majority in Parliament.
To actually implement these policies in the face of the opposition of the capitalist establishment, Corbyn would have to mobilise the British working class and make an appeal to workers and young people across Europe. He would also have to finish the civil war within Labour and decisively drive out the Blairites, who seek to undermine his leadership and block his policies at every turn. Corbyn and those around him have sought conciliation with the right for too long, and it has increased the confidence of their implacable enemies. Corbyn supporters within Labour should immediately move to unseat sitting Blairite MPs through trigger ballots, allowing the membership to democratically replace them with working-class fighters for socialist policies.
NI – Workers need an anti-sectarian political voice
In Northern Ireland, working-class people will once again be faced with a sectarian headcount. General elections, given the close margins in some constituencies, can particularly take on this character. The Brexit crisis and the current deal will significantly add to that. 'Unity' candidates – whether openly in a communal guise or in a disguised form around Brexit – would not provide any solutions but will further sectarianise the election.
This underlines the urgent need to build an anti-sectarian, working-class alternative that can seek to unite people around our common interests. The recent and ongoing industrial disputes here clearly demonstrate that workers have no friends among the main parties, whether Orange, Green or neither. Similarly, the battle for abortion rights and marriage equality was only won through struggle which forced the main parties, some times kicking and screaming, to shift their positions. A mass working-class party could not only take up the issues that clearly unite working-class and young people, but also find solutions to those that divides us, on the basis of mutual respect and solidarity, rather than through conflict and coercion, which is all any capitalist arrangement can offer.
For a socialist Europe
Capitalism today means crises – economic, political and environmental. It's a system destroying our planet, undermining our living standards and creating the basis for the emergence of reactionary, bigoted figures such as Johnson, Trump and Bolsonaro. The capitalist governments of Europe and the EU, who represent this system, are part of the problem, not the solution.
We need to break with this system, which pits worker against worker, and fight for socialist change. This requires a break with the bosses' EU, where cooperation between the ruling classes is based on maximising profit at the expense of the working class. Instead, we need to fight for a socialist confederation of Europe – free, voluntary and equal – based on solidarity and cooperation between workers across the continent, using society's wealth and resources in a planned and democratic way to raise living standards and tackle climate change.

This commandment was so important that once the Tabernacle was built and the priests were consecrated, God tells Moses to remind the people to honor the Sabbath. What makes the Sabbath so important? Is it just because we get to rest? No, we learn why the Sabbath is so important by today's reading.
The Sabbath was given, "…so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy. God wants us to rest we can see clearly Who He is and all that He has done for us. When we are resting in Him, we recognize that His power is what makes the difference. In truth, we should be in a state of rest everyday because we have Jesus who did all the work for us!
We have stress in our lives because we take on what should be left in God's hands. Today, commit to rest in God knowing that He has your life– completely. Do it, not because it is a commandment, but because you will discover the Mighty Works of God!

The overall goal of our research is to understand the fundamental mechanisms used by human cells to maintain genome integrity and how failures in these processes contribute to human disease. Our research is currently focused on using our expertise in telomere biology to expand our understanding of the role telomeres play in maintaining genomic stability and suppressing tumor formation. However, as our lab grows we will endeavor to use our ability to modulate telomere biology to study more general aspects of the DNA damage response, chromatin, genome biology and the cell cycle. We also have a keen interest in developing new techniques to visualize dynamic biology through live cell imaging.
We are always on the lookout for talented and ambitious individuals willing to contribute to our immediate and long-term research goals. If you are interested in joining the lab please contact Tony by e-mail, or if you happen to be at a conference with Tony please walk up and say hello (he is always willing to talk science over a coffee or beer). We look forward to hearing from you.
