Charlie Hong is on the run from both sides of the law. He's spent the last year in hiding, cultivating one last hair-brained scheme to escape his troubles: a clandestine marijuana operation. Just as he's about to cash in, his cash crop is stolen by a bright light appearing in the night sky. After catching a ride with one of his plants, he finds himself thrown into a world far stranger than anything he could have possibly imagined. Does the stoned stowaway have what it takes to free the Starseed, a massive living spaceship overflowing with bizarre life forms, from the clutches of a mysterious force field trapping it in Earth's orbit? More importantly, before he decides anything, does he have time to light one up?

Evory Salieri
I relish to ruminate, with my impassive glance, the never-ending path of a creek, which gush in the most vivace music played by water and rocks. Music accompanied by the muttering of the leaves, under the direction of the shivering breeze, with the beat of the falling drops over the water film. Intense trained in the art of chill-ax and deep enthusiast of the roasted coffee scent, combined with the emanating petrichor of grass, I am an expert in burning the daylight or contemplating the sky in search for clouds's patterns.
You know you have issues being a successful slave if:
– You started to hate your job?
– You want more time for yourself and less time for work? (8 to 10 hours per day working – sometimes more too)
– You want to work without fixed schedule constrains?
– You are sick of management, ass kissing and stupid methodologies that does nothing?
– You want to be your own boss?
This manifesto is a satire and need to be treated as is. However, you can change its sense by reading it between lines.
HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL SLAVE

The Portal Keeper
A mysterious portal, which opens at dawn and closes again at dusk, is located deep in the woods and kept secret from the vast majority of the people who inhabit the kingdom of Rastella. Only a few are aware of its existence and fewer understand the confusing prophecy that accompanies it. Now, Ajax Maxwell, who is approaching his 14th birthday and has been in training for the past 2 years, is preparing to fulfill his family's legacy by becoming the next keeper. But Ajax is afraid. He's worried that he won't live up to the expectations placed upon him and will let down his family, like his brother Axel did when he took over from their father and then promptly disappeared. When the prince of Rastella comes to visit for the first time, accompanied by Ajax's childhood friend Nivara, it doesn't take long for things to go wrong. In an accident, the prince falls into the portal and Ajax knows that it's up to him to go and get him back. With the knowledge that nobody who has entered it has ever returned, Ajax and Nivara go through the portal to try to save the prince. But what Ajax finds inside, and what he discovers about the prophecy, will test him to his limits.

Scarlett Savage
Three generations of Applebaum women— in order, recovering alcoholic Ava, hippie Suzanne, and Goth Molly— in one house for two weeks brings about the chance for each of them to stand up for who they really are, once and for all.
18-year-old Molly, with her tattooed, pierced, bleached blond friend Brandon in tow, has revealed that she has an important announcement to make before she heads off to Vassar. 36-year-old Suzanne is convinced that history is repeating itself, and that Molly's news will make her a 36-year-old grandmother. Ava, despite herself, develops a fervent case of baby fever.
Meanwhile, Buddy McKinley moves in to the house next door. Buddy was once Ava's late husband's business partner, and the man she blames for the failing of the business–which, she claims, ruined her husband's life and "turned me into a fall-down drunk".
However, after a little digging, Suzanne finds out that Buddy and Ava's past goes much farther back that either has admitted . . . does Ava truly "blanking" hate Buddy, or are those rabid feelings covering up something just as intense?
When Molly finally makes her grand announcement, Suzanne reacts in a way no one, least of all herself, was prepared for. And it takes a head to head fiery confrontation to find out exactly why Suzanne's suddenly avoiding her only child.
It's a tale about love, truth, family, and accepting people for who they are . . . and more importantly, who they're not.

I started writing full time in 2012 after years of denying my desire to be creative. I'm a military wife so it's always a question of what city will I move to next? To keep active I participate in 5km races and hope to graduate to marathons and possibly Spartans one day. I adore immortals, magic, and dragons, I enjoy TV entirely to much, and video games just the right amount. My adoration for magic and dragons can be seen clearly in my Mechanical Dragons series and my love for immortals in my Guardians books.

She has been writing since childhood, always looking for the next story to tell. Writing is as natural a part of life for her as breathing. She loves getting to know her characters and bringing them to life. She is in as much anticipation about the ending of a story as she hopes her readers are.

Death, so complete, so final. It releases a torrent of raw emotion unlike any other tragic, human experience. Thus is the case for Moira, as her best friend is brutally taken from her, marking a descent from which she may never return.
Darkness clouds her mind, threatening to destroy the only remaining relationship that means anything to her.
Walk in the shoes of one vexed with a lingering sadness, that only few understand, and discover true love, appreciation, and the will to overcome.

My name is Raja and I am a first time author from India. I have just released my first fantasy novel, Age of Azmoq: The Valantian Imperium, which is the first of a 5 part Age of Azmoq series.
Azmoq is the rarest and most coveted metal on the planet. It's the ultimate source and symbol of real power, and the Valantian Imperium controls it all. Or so they thought… For the first time in generations, the Valantian Imperium, masters of the Valantian continent glimpse the first tremors of fear. There are rumors abound. Rumors of legends. Legends of both ancient Azmoqian weapons and men of godly powers, long thought to be myths. As these rumors grow, a small group of people, from various walks of life, some commoners, some within the mighty Valantian Imperium itself, by pure coincidence, have set in motion a chain of events. The legends, if true, along with these set of events, might reignite the flames of a revolution. A revolution the Imperium had long suppressed. A revolution that might alter the balance of power in the continent, and eventually the entire world…

Discover the epic story of old Hawaii James Michener never told. The Hawaiian people lived in an isolated Garden of Eden and fought over it for centuries. One day, strangers came from beyond the horizon on floating islands. At first, the Hawaiians thought they were gods. Having no metal of their own, they marveled at the visitors' iron daggers, axes, muskets, and cannons. One man, Kamehameha, was the first among the Hawaiians to understand that the strangers' arrival had transformed everything for his people. He would go on to use these new weapons to defeat his rivals, unite the Hawaiian Islands, and found a new kingdom at the crossroads of the Pacific Ocean.

I am the author of the fantasy series, World of Wraidd Elfennol, and also the contemporary, women's fiction novella, Disjointed Lives. Whilst a writer mainly in the fantasy genre, I am more than happy to share my love of reading amongst the many different genres out there, and can always be found with a book close by. As well as reading and writing, I spend my time looking after my family and trying to learn German. Unfortunately, a natural aptitude for languages doesn't appear to be one of my strong points. However, stubbornness is, so I continue to persevere. So far, I am confident enough to order a beer and a pretzel.

The Solar Empire spans more than fifty galaxies and a hundred thousand years of history. Its military, economic, and industrial power can shape or destroy entire civilizations even beyond its own borders. Those who have seen its influence firsthand call these political tides the Solar Winds. But in the Hourglass Galaxy resides a nation that stands against the wind, the Interstellar Combine. Now these two intergalactic superpowers are embroiled in a cold war for dominance of the region. Simmonne, the carefree daughter of the Solar Emperor, is tasked with a public relations mission to welcome refugees fleeing Combine occupation. The enigmatic Robert Panzer, a metapsion of enormous telepathic and telekinetic abilities, is assigned as her protector. Frustrated by her inability to perceive his emotions, Simmonne is unaware that she might require protection from him most of all. Within the Hourglass, newly minted Lieutenant Jonathan Clearwater balances his role as an officer of the Solar Legionnaires and his fraying family life. Meanwhile Oul'sor, a Warlord of the Combine, is resurrected to seek vengeance for the death of his son at Panzer's hands. And near the center of power, Simmonne's weak-willed and jaded brother Steven is tempted to corruption by the power of the Encephalon. The characters must work together – or against one another – as the cold war between intergalactic superpowers threatens to turn hot, all under the eye of an entity older than the universe itself. If they fail, the Encephalon's power will consume far more than the trillions of lives in the Hourglass Galaxy.

Born in 1991, I have always found history fascinating. Growing up, the idea of "other worlds" and "paranormal creatures" have also gained my interest. Using both of these together, along with politics and psychology, I have created the first of a 4-book series named The Grate. The Grate is about life after WWIII, when the USA chooses to create a new capital. Inside of the Grate, life is far far from perfect, as they wage war on their own citizens, and even conducting scientific experimentation on the Mentally Ill. When the main character, Sarah, finds herself in the hospital after a terror attack, she recalls her moments leading to her stay. When she begins having paranormal encounters, she is taken to the Mental Hospital, Ward Seven. There she must work hard to break free. But how can she escape when those meant to protect her are now out to kill her?
I truly hope that this book will make people think about perspective, and how we can work together to create societal norms and help each other grow in compassion. Currently this book, which is the first of the series, is Edition 1, although I do know that another Edition will be required so that I may feel satisfied with it. I hope that you enjoy it also. (By the way, if you have the Kindle Unlimited, it is absolutely free to read for you)!

See how good it can get: Perfect Timing, a romp of a book plus a powerful way to improve our lot (a Citizen's Dividend). It's like Callenbach's classic, Ecotopia, but comedic with surprising twists. (BTW, Ernest C. edited my nonfiction work, may he RIP). Perfect Timing conveys the tone of Hitchhiker's Guide, offers insights like Stranger in a Strange Land, and presents an upbeat alternative, unlike Brave New World. Caterer Crik Duvall is bewildered. In the city he thought he knew, suddenly buildings grow, people incorporate animal powers, smart phones know it all, and vehicles defy gravity. He's been accidentally transported to a future where he's unwanted. To keep their past intact, the future's authorities must return Crik to the moment he left, a moment when he was dodging gunfire. That is, unless he can show he was vital to progress. With his cat-woman guide, Tepper — could she be his distant descendant? — the duo dash around to suss out what makes Geotopia work so well for people and planet. Vigilante Voltak, protector of the status quo, pursues them to return the "Pastian" runaway before his allotted 24 hours are up. If by then Crik can prove he's their Founder, he'll be a celebrity in his new time.

When Jake encounters her captor, he is forced into that same spirit world. Jake learns that the girl he's falling for is fading away because she has been trapped by the sorcerer for too long. Armand has no plans to release Irene and intends to use her soul to help him capture Baron Samedi, the voodoo loa of death, and releasing the dead themselves. But doing so would ravage both worlds. When several of the loa fall under the sorcerer's control, the spirit world becomes chaotic and unsafe. And as Armand's plan succeeds, the battle being fought in the spirit world makes its way to Jake and Irene's home.

Longtime detective Stanford Carter and his wife, forensic scientist Jill Seacrest, have always felt one was the yin to the other's yang. Carter is formal, logical, detached and incredibly reserved. As team leader, he displays an unflagging commitment to duty, a keen sense of logic and strategy, and the poker face of a true champion. Despite his ardent desire to learn the secrets of the universe and its plan for us all, the introspective student of Zen demonstrates an extraordinary inability to understand himself or anyone else. Seacrest, on the other hand, is a scientific steamroller, often intimidating even the most seasoned veteran agents. Possessing a strong and fiery personality, her determination to find the truth often clashes with a quick and sarcastic wit, a fiery personality, and the tendency to leap before she looks. Together, they've made the tough decision to leave their home town of Boston to move to the Big Apple, where they have accepted new positions with the F.B.I. to help solve a string of murders. When Shania Deeprose joins the team, the overly enthusiastic, down-to-earth rookie from Alabama provides a spark that forges the immediate and unbreakable bonds of heart, mind, and courage. In this stand-alone mystery/thriller the team must break the biggest case of their careers while confronting personal and social truths that change them forever. Will they be able to expose a secret so old and far reaching that it has already begun to impact the very fabric of society? Gary Starta is a former journalist who studied English and Journalism at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst.

Hollow Fissure
The well-meaning and meddlesome Mr. and Mrs. Aden want nothing more than to protect their only daughter, Hannah.
After her childhood kidnapping in Somalia and a final showdown in Italy against the monster responsible, nineteen-year-old Hannah just wants back the life stolen from her.
She isn't naïve like her mother believes. Frequent flashes of past terrors assure her that the healing process is far from over. At the same time, she'd hardly use her dad's words and call herself "strong" or "brave." That description belongs to Melissa Bennett, the woman who almost died saving her.
Melissa doesn't feel much like the hero she's being hailed.
While she is glad to have saved a life for once, the one she'd almost taken continues to haunt her dreams and stall her recovery.
Despite her good deed and continuous help from friends and family abroad and Kyle—the father of her little girl—she knows her days of freedom are numbered.

Evaluating All Available Options
Removal (Deportation) Defense
Removal proceedings, formerly called deportation proceedings are the process by which the U.S. government removes a non-citizen from the United States. The U.S. government through Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) serves that person with a Notice to Appear (NTA) stating the allegations and charges against them, when, and where to appear in Immigration Court. The government would also make a determination as to whether to release that person, set a bond (bail) amount, or detain without bond. If the government sets an unreasonable bond or no bond at all, then a bond redetermination hearing before an immigration judge can be requested.
An individual may end up in removal proceedings for many reasons, the main ones are: 1. The person entered the United States without being inspected by immigration officials, 2. The person was inspected and admitted into the United States in non-immigrant (temporary) status and that status has expired but the person remains in the United States, and 3. The person has received permanent lawful status (LPR/Green Card) in the United States and was later convicted of a crime(s) that made him or her subject to removal.
During removal proceedings, a DHS attorney from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement represents the Government and presents evidence on the Government's behalf. The alien, referred to as a respondent, may provide a defense to the charges or apply for any available and appropriate form of protection or relief from removal. The most common forms of relief from removal are asylum, cancellation of removal, adjustment of status, and voluntary departure.
At the conclusion of removal proceedings, the immigration judge may issue an oral decision, or reserve the decision for the issuance of a written order. When the immigration judge determines a respondent is either not removable or grants the respondent protection or relief from removal, the respondent may remain in the U.S. either temporarily or permanently, depending on the form of relief or protection granted. Both parties have the opportunity to appeal an immigration judge's decision to the BIA.
A foreign citizen seeking to live permanently in the United States requires an immigrant visa (IV). To be eligible to apply for an IV, a foreign citizen must be sponsored by an immediate relative who is at least 21 years of age and is either a U.S. citizen or U.S. Lawful Permanent Resident (that is, a green-card holder).
The U.S citizen or LPR must file a petition with USCIS to establish his or her relationship with the relative. If the relative is already in the United States, they may apply to adjust status to become a Green Card holder (lawful permanent resident) after a visa number becomes available. If the relative is outside the United States, the petition will be sent to the National Visa Center (NVC). The NVC will forward the petition to the appropriate U.S. consulate when a visa becomes available and the relative will be notified about how to proceed. This process is referred to as "consular processing."
There are two types of family-based immigrant visas:
Immediate Relative – these visas are based on a close family relationship with a U.S. citizen, such as a spouse, child or parent. The number of immigrants in these categories is not limited each fiscal year.
Family Preference – these visas are for specific, more distant, family relationships with a U.S. citizen and some specified relationships with a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR). The number of immigrants in these categories is limited each fiscal year.
Keep in mind that U.S. citizens can file an immigrant visa petition for their:
• Spouse
• Son or daughter
• Brother or sister
U.S. Lawful Permanent Residents can only file an immigrant visa petition for their:
• Unmarried son or daughter
U.S. citizens enjoy many rights and benefits that are not available to non-citizens. A U.S. citizen has the right to vote in federal elections, run for federal office, travel more freely with a U.S. passport, petition for distant relatives, and receive protection from removal/deportation except in very limited circumstances.
Here are the most common ways to become a U.S. citizen:
1. Citizenship through Birth
Under United States law, any person born within the United States (including the territories of Puerto Rico, Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands) is automatically granted U.S. citizenship.
2. Citizenship through Acquisition
In some circumstances, a child automatically "acquires" citizenship even though that child was born outside the United States. At least one parent needs to be a U.S. citizen at the time of the child's birth and several other conditions must be met.
3. Citizenship through Derivation
When a parent naturalizes, his or her children (under the age of 18 and living with the parent at the time) may "derive" U.S. citizenship automatically, provided they are also permanent residents.
4. Citizenship through Naturalization
Naturalization refers to the process in which a person not born in the United States voluntarily becomes a U.S. citizen. For foreign-born persons, naturalization is the most common way to become a U.S. citizen. There are several requirements that must be fulfilled before an individual can apply for citizenship.
Consular Processing
Consular processing is an alternate process for an individual outside the United States (or who is in the United States but is ineligible to adjust status) to obtain a visa abroad and enter the United States as a permanent resident.
Consular processing is a multi-step process. Here's what to expect:
Step 1: The U.S. citizen or LPR relative (Petitioner) files the appropriate petition for the foreign relative (Beneficiary) with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
Step 2: USCIS adjudicates the petition. This can take from a few months to over a year.
Step 3: Once the petition is approved, USCIS will forward that approved petition to the National Visa Center (NVC) for processing. The NVC is part of the Department of State, and handles visa applications for people living outside the United States.
Step 4: The NVC will let the petitioner/applicant know when to pay the fees and provide documentation, including the affidavit of support, for the visa application.
Step 5: The NVC will then schedule an interview at the U.S. consulate overseas and forward the petition and all documents to the consulate.
Step 6: The consular officer will interview the applicant and decide whether to grant the visa application or deny.
Step 7: If the visa application is approved, the applicant will receive a visa allowing them to travel to the United States. The visa will be valid for six months.
Step 8: Upon arrival to the United States, the applicant will be processed by a U.S. border officer who will formally admit the applicant into the country.
Asylum & Humanitarian Based Relief
U.S. immigration laws provide multiple immigration benefits designed to provide humanitarian relief to victims of natural disasters, persecution, physical or mental abuse, or other dangerous situations inside and outside of the U.S. Such as Asylum, Temporary Protected Status (TPS), Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS), Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), T and U visas for victims of trafficking and other crimes, VAWA, and Humanitarian Parole.
1. Asylum is the legal protection granted to people who have come to the United States and are afraid to return to their home country. Asylum can be granted to people who are unable or unwilling to return to their home country because of persecution or a well-founded fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion.
2. Congress created Temporary Protected Status (TPS) in the Immigration Act of 1990. It is a temporary immigration status provided to nationals of specifically designated countries that are confronting an ongoing armed conflict, environmental disaster, or extraordinary and temporary conditions. It provides a work permit and stay of deportation to foreign nationals from those countries who are in the United States at the time the U.S. government makes the designation.
3. Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) is an immigration classification available to certain undocumented immigrants under the age of 21 who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned by one or both parents. SIJS is a way for immigrants under twenty-one to apply for and obtain legal permanent residence in the United States.
4. Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) is an administrative relief from deportation. The purpose of DACA is to protect eligible immigrant youth who came to the United States when they were children from deportation. DACA gives young undocumented immigrants: 1) protection from deportation, and 2) a work permit.
5. T Visas provide immigration protection to victims of trafficking. The T Visa allows victims to remain in the United States and assist law enforcement authorities in the investigation or prosecution of human trafficking cases.
6. U Visas provide immigration protection to crime victims who have suffered substantial mental or physical abuse as a result of the crime. The U visa allows victims to remain in the United States and assist law enforcement authorities in the investigation or prosecution of the criminal activity.
7. In 1994, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), creating special routes to immigration status for certain battered foreigners. Among the basic requirements for eligibility, a battered foreigner must be the spouse or child of an abusive U.S. citizen or permanent resident.
8. Humanitarian parole enables an otherwise inadmissible individual to enter the United States temporarily due to urgent humanitarian reasons.
Crimmigration: Immigration Consequences of a Criminal Arrest or Conviction
Non-citizens who commit certain crimes may be ineligible to enter or remain in the United States. Certain crimes will stop the non-citizen from becoming a U.S. citizen, some temporarily and others permanently. The term "inadmissible" is used to describe non-citizens who are generally ineligible to receive visas or otherwise be lawfully admitted into the United States. "Deportable" refers to non-citizens who have been lawfully admitted to the United States, but have engaged in proscribed activities that render them removable from the country.
Criminal convictions—even for relatively minor crimes—can have serious immigration consequences, and it is important to understand these consequences before signing a plea bargain or going to trial. For people without lawful immigration status, a conviction may affect your ability to be released on bond while your immigration case is pending as well as your ability to avoid deportation or to return to the United States in the future.
For people who have legal status in this country, criminal convictions may result in the termination of your legal status and affect your ability to return to the United States legally in the future. Even if the conviction does not make you deportable, a conviction may still affect your ability to travel abroad, become a citizen, or qualify for bond while your immigration case is pending before the judge.
It is important to understand that the immigration consequences that result from a criminal conviction last for a lifetime, and immigration law provides very few waivers or pardons for criminal conduct. For this reason, it is important to do your best to avoid problematic convictions not only to avoid deportation now, but also to preserve eligibility to return legally in the future (for example, through family or work visas).
Employment Authorization Document (EAD) (Work Permit)
An application for an EAD is needed to request permission to work legally in the United States or as proof that your authorized to work in the United States with current immigration status. There are approximately 40 different categories under which an EAD can be requested. A social security number is usually issued from the Social Security Administration (SSA) with the issuance of the EAD by USCIS. EADs are usually valid for two years and must be renewed.
You will need to apply for an EAD if you:
1. Are authorized to work in the United States because of your immigration status (for example, you are an asylee, refugee, or U nonimmigrant) and need evidence of that employment authorization, or
2. Are required to apply for permission to work; in other words, you need to request employment authorization itself. For example:
You have a pending Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status.
You have a pending Form I-589, Application for Asylum and for Withholding of Removal.
You have a nonimmigrant status that allows you to be in the United States but does not allow you to work in the United States without first seeking permission from USCIS (such as an F-1 or M-1 student).
You do not need to apply for an EAD if you are a lawful permanent resident. Your Green Card (Form I-551, Permanent Resident Card) is evidence of your employment authorization.
Appeals to the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) or the Administrative Appeals Office (AAO)
The BIA has been given nationwide jurisdiction to hear appeals from certain decisions rendered by Immigration Judges and by district directors of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in a wide variety of proceedings in which the Government of the United States is one party and the other party is an alien, a citizen, or a business firm.
BIA decisions are binding on all DHS officers and Immigration Judges unless modified or overruled by the Attorney General or a federal court. Most BIA decisions are subject to judicial review in the federal courts. The majority of appeals reaching the BIA involve orders of removal and applications for relief from removal. Other cases before the BIA include the exclusion of aliens applying for admission to the United States, petitions to classify the status of alien relatives for the issuance of preference immigrant visas, fines imposed upon carriers for the violation of immigration laws, and motions for reopening and reconsideration of decisions previously rendered.
The AAO has appellate jurisdiction over approximately 50 different immigration case types filed with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) field offices, as well as certain Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) determinations.

Hamilton suffered the worst possible start in the British Grand Prix after he got off to a poor start with both Sebastian Vettel and Valtteri Bottas overtaking him into the first corner.
The four-time champion seized the lead at the start and fought back after losing the initiative during two safety vehicle periods to register his second win at Silverstone and the 51st of his career.
While Hamilton was left exhausted post-race, his title rival and British GP victor Sebastian Vettel appeared to have a bigger physical scare on Saturday.
Mercedes team principal Toto Wolff said after the race that he was "not comfortable at all with the incident because it's tiresome being taken out in the first lap".
Vettel told reporters at Silverstone: "I think it's quite silly to think that anything that happened was deliberate, at least, I would struggle to be that precise, you know, to take somebody out".
The post was quickly deleted but Minttu later told a Hamilton fan: "Just to be clear, I was not talking about the driver but the team who was crying afterwards that someone did something on goal".
Hamilton said that "sometimes we say dumb" things and "we learn from it". Listening to the chatter between Hamilton and the pits, I felt that Lewis nearly dropped his chin after that incident.
"I came here to clarify, if he actually said something like that", said Arrivabene, speaking to Sky Italia about Allison, who left Ferrari in mid-2016 and joined Mercedes in 2017.
"The accident was unfair basically, because it's the second time a Ferrari hits us in the first corner, and it's not amusing".
If Avengers: Infinity War was due in large part to Thanos, he was also for some scenes of intense fighting in incredible places. Now, user The-Jedi-Apprentice has created a post detailing how banned users can come back from the "finger snap ".
"We have got to keep pushing", Hamilton said. It's the most intense battle I think we've probably all had.
"It was a gamble that paid off for the Briton - winning him crucial points in his title fight with Vettel and limiting the damage that could have been caused after the first lap - but failed with Bottas, who ran out of tyres and was passed by Vettel, Hamilton and Raikkonen before the end of the race".
With the victory, Vettel extended his lead in the drivers championship, now eight points ahead on 171 points.
"I lost almost 3kg [in body fluids] trying to get back to the top for you and my team", he said, addressing his 6.7 million followers on the social media platform.
A re-worked version with new new lyrics for the 1998 World Cup in France also spent three weeks at the summit. The Three Lions was originally released for the European Championships in 1996 when it topped the charts.
He claimed that due to how dysfunctional the two parties were, it is unlikely that many Democrats would support a Trump nominee. President Donald Trump: "Well, it's still-let's say it's the four people, but-and they're excellent, every one".
Just two points separate second-placed India and Australia , who are in No.3 but the gap is even closer from No.4 to No.7. Meanwhile, Pakistan beat Australia in the finals by six wickets. "Glad he did well", Pakistan captain Sarfraz Ahmed said.
One particular photo shows a bank of TVs, every one of them playing something else quite significant from that decade. Thank you @ GalGadot . #ForTheKids'. "1984" is filming in the Washington, D.C. area, which is close to Inova.


A NIGHT WITH THE GIANTS | jeni a.
"Want to go to a Giants game tonight? I was offered two free tickets.
"We'd be in seats where they serve you stuff. Once in a lifetime opportunity."
And then this - "The Giants are the baseball team from San Francisco."
I laughed out loud, because bless the man's heart, I am a stinky sports wife. I don't know teams, I don't know ranks, I don't know anything about the big games (I konw, I know, I'm a terrible American). I love tennis! I do tennis. But footabll, basketball, baseball...?
Anyway, the Laneys (those saints!) came to the rescue and watched Olivia last second, and we ran up to San Fran for the funnest big sports game I've been to yet. Loved it! I need to up my big sports anty. The game was a blast. I didn't just people watch per usual, I watched the game (!!) Maybe it was AT&T Park? Stellar stadium. Sitting so close to the field was awesome. I loved being with my Ryan (this was our second date since February. Yikes)! It wasn't too cold, it wasn't too long. The whole thing was a summer night dream.
One of our favorite places on earth. So fun!

They Really Said That?
What are "We The People" to do about the issues that matter – issues like abortion and climate change?
May 27, 2019 by epoetus
A first step: know your adversary and identify your limitations
Elected Democrats and leadership have misjudged the course of our political futures almost every step of the way for decades. We've also heard that a political turn towards progressivism will come soon, but instead our compromising mainstream Corporate Establishment Democratic elected officials seem to have doomed themselves to what seems like perpetual apologies and handwringing. Presidential candidate Nixon negotiated to undermine a peace agreement in Viet Nam so that he could win the election – treason. "[Sorry, but we thought we'd win anyway.]" said Democratic leadership. Presidential candidate Reagan negotiated with Iran on the hostage crisis and signed a contract with them so that he could win the election – treason. "[silence due to hand wringing]" from Democratic leadership. This was followed by decades of constant progressive losses – the list is very long – and there has been more treason since, but somehow our Democratic leadership has not been able to gain ground on behalf of the American people. How have we Democrats continually misjudged the situation and failed to alter the course of our political futures? In light of this what are we to do about critical issues that matter – issues that are designed to divide us like the perpetual public health political debate over a woman's right to control her body, and existential crises like global warming? Maybe it is because our Elected Democrats, Democratic leadership and the media lack the will or have given up trying to combat a political party of bullies – or maybe they just don't know how to control the narrative. Let's hope that it is not the ongoing corruptive influence of Corporate "Money in Politics," as seen in this Nation of change article, which shows the craven forked tongue nature of companies like AT&T, Walmart, Pfizer, Coca-Cola, and Aetna who talk about treating women equally in the workplace but fund candidates who support the latest attack on women's healthcare:
"In their corporate literature, these companies present themselves as champions of women and gender equality," says Legum. "But they have collectively donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to politicians seeking to roll back reproductive rights."
Framing the discussion – the advice of George Lakoff
Use Truth Sandwiches to make your point and to avoid bolstering your adversaries narrative. For example: merely saying that you disagree with Trump's claims that there was "No Collusion. No Obstruction" is not enough.
Truth Sandwiches in the context of Trump's lies:
"A truth sandwich begins with the relevant truths, what is true about a given issue. It then says, here's what Trump says or has done on this issue that violates those truths. Then it comes back and says the truth again, and it finishes up by saying why the difference between the truth and the lie is important." – George Lakoff
The "Truth Sandwich" way to address a preposterous claim by someone like Trump that ensures your audience is properly absorbing and internalizing your message would be to respond with something like the following:
The Mueller report does not exonerate the President of obstruction of justice and clearly demonstrates that the Russians were very actively trying to influence the outcome of the 2016 election. There are ten (10) instances of obstruction documented in the redacted Mueller report that eight hundred (800) prosecutors now say is worthy of indictment – and the number keeps rising. The President has no basis to say "No collusion. No obstruction." other than what Attorney General Barr has said. The facts of the matter, redacted as they are in the Mueller report, the guilty pleas, with at least eight (8) convictions, the ongoing court cases from twenty nine (29) indictments and investigations tell us quite clearly that many illegal acts were perpetrated during the 2016 elections. While the Mueller case may not have proven that the Trump campaign conspired with the Russians, there is a lot of smoke rising from the obstruction instances, and the ongoing efforts to cover up the investigations into these matters.
It is a war for "Hearts and Minds" – and the war is over words and how the messages settle in our minds
As with divisive topics like abortion, the Democrats need to frame the narrative for themselves with Truth Sandwiches and not get stuck in a battle on their opponents turf (e.g. arguing the merits of partial birth abortions and other "red herring" topics that serve to reinforce the Republicans ideological framing).
Another Truth Sandwich:
A woman's right to choose is a public health matter. The role of government is to do the most good for the most people and the environment for the longest time. Since women who are denied abortions are more likely to live in poverty than women who have abortions, it makes sense to help women choose when they want to have children. Government's job is to advocate for policies that improve the quality of life for all Americans. A woman's right to choose is not an ideological matter to be tackled by politicians as the Republicans and their minority Evangelical constituents would have you believe. We need to solve the problems of this nation by promoting proven effective, common sense and reasonable options. Women who get pregnant when they don't want to be is a real problem that can have very significant negative impacts on their lives, their families and friends. There are many proven safe and effective options available to women which benefit their lives and society as a whole, and that is the solution we support for the American people.
The Democrats must *own* the narrative for "We The People" – it must be a visionary message.
Democratic compromise, which yielded to the Republican conservative political economic agenda, has served as justification for not holding elected officials accountable – that must change. We must build a winning inclusive narrative for "We The People." What do we want the United States to become? We want it to be the nation that staved off "Global Warming," and the impacts of rising wealth and income inequality, and …
How do you talk to a bully? You stand up to them and put them in their place. The Democrats have not responded to the Republican party appropriately – they have blinked, cowered, apologized and wrung their hands for decades. By not understanding the very real and deep cognitive impacts of merely refuting Republican positions, and not taking the time to construct narratives that take charge of framing the debate correctly so that a clear "Truth Sandwich" message can be left with the audience, Democratic politicians will continue to lose. We need to pick candidates who will put their adversaries in their place, people like Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (AOC), and take the initiative with a narrative that defeats the Republicans while sending a message that speaks to everyone. Our battle for the "Hearts and Minds" of the people is not an ideological debate over progressivism versus socialism versus capitalism – it is about framing very real visceral problems as stories and talking about inclusive, proven effective and compassionate solutions that help everyone. Clearly this alone will not solve our problems with democracy, as the impact of "Money in Politics" has only made matters worse. Since Corporations are not *really* people, their political agenda is about producing quarterly earnings and profits – human rights be damned when influence can be bought to enable the colonization of Americans that boost revenues at huge rates of return. We have these vital communication tools at our disposal, so let's employ them for the good of the country – the Republicans seem to have mastered them.

Andy Cohen to Replace Kathy Griffin in CNN's New Year's Eve Show With Anderson Cooper
By Jackson McHenry@McHenryJD

Anderson Cooper's friend Andy Cohen is replacing his ex-friend Kathy Griffin on CNN's New Year's Eve celebration. The network cut ties with Griffin back in May over a graphic photo shoot in which she posed with a prop of President Trump's severed head. Griffin apologized for the stunt and then later decided she was no longer very sorry for doing it. Cooper publicly repudiated Griffin's act, and though he has said that he still considers her a friend, according to the Cut , Griffin has told him that she believes their friendship is over. Cohen and Cooper have been friends for more than 25 years and toured the country together. "Andy is the life of the party wherever he goes, and what bigger party is there than New Year's Eve?" Cooper said in a statement. "It is going to be a blast!"

The Resource The Socialist Offensive : The Collectivisation of Soviet Agriculture, 1929–1930
The Collectivisation of Soviet Agriculture, 1929–1930
by R. W. Davies
Davies, R. W
History, Modern
Europe-History
By the summer of 1929 Soviet industrialisation was well under way, but agriculture was in a profound crisis: in 1928 and 1929 grain to feed the towns was wrested from the peasants by force, and the twenty-five million individual peasant households lost the stimulus to extend or even to maintain their production. In the autumn of 1929 the Soviet Politburo, led by Stalin, launched its desperate effort to win the battle for agriculture by forcible collectivisation and by large-scale mechanisation. Simultaneously hundreds of thousands of kulaks (richer peasants) and recalcitrant peasants were expelled from their villages. This book tells the story of these events, as momentous in their impact on Russian history at the Bolshevik Revolution of October 1917, and of the temporary retreat from collectivisation in the spring of 1930 in the face of peasant resistance. The crisis in the Communist Party which resulted from this upheaval, in the months preceding the XVI party congress in June 1930, is described in detail for the first time.--
