Barkley: England have the talent to match Croatia's Modric and Rakitic
England midfielder Ross Barkley has no doubt his team can compete Croatia's star midfield pairing of Luka Modric and Ivan Rakitic.
Gareth Southgate's men face the World Cup finalists in the Nations League in Rijeka on Friday in a rematch of their World Cup semi-final clash that saw the Three Lions bounced from the competition in Russia.
The rematch will see England once again come up against one of the top midfield duos in the world in the form of Modric, FIFA's Best Men's Player, and team-mate Rakitic as England look to pick up their first points in the Nations League play.

Southgate's men lost their opening Nations League clash to Spain 2-1, while Croatia were soundly beaten by the same opposition in their opener.
And Barkley, who is back in the England squad, said Southgate's side have the talent to go toe to toe with Croatia's star duo and believes that "identity" the Three Lions have found make them a threat to any top team.
"It's a big challenge but just like any other player you come up against you've got to treat every player with the same respect. But it'll be a challenge," he said.
"You saw in the World Cup how fantastic he [Modric] was and Rakitic as well, he plays for a great side like Barcelona.
"But we've got the players to compete with the big nations, we've got our identity now.
"We went to the World Cup and got to the semi-finals and we're going in the right direction."
England will follow their matchup with Croatia with a clash against Spain on Monday.

This June, LDC Watch, UNECA, UN-OHRLLS and UNCTAD, organized the Africa LDC Civil Society Regional Strategy Assembly on the Implementation of the Istanbul Program of Action (IPoA) in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to draw up LDC CSOs' campaign and advocacy strategies to support their involvement in the IPoA implementation, and discuss the 2013 global review of the MDGs and the post-2015 CSO agenda.
The key message was the need to promote LDC interests and strengthen their voice on the international scene and for greater civil society involvement in implementing programs supporting LDCs. Participants stressed LDC Watch's role in implementing the IPoA and reiterated their readiness to cooperate with it.
There are fundamental flaws of the dominant global system and the failure of current policies and programs of "assistance" to LDCs.
It is also well known that most African countries will not achieve all the Millennium Development Goals, even if some progress can be expected in some countries. MDGs are externally-imposed goals, with a limited ambition and the aim is to achieve them using neo-liberal policies promoted by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and the World Trade Organization (WTO) that are mostly responsible for LDCs' situation.
On the post-2015 agenda, the discussions highlighted some key challenges facing African countries, on education, health, financial assistance and poverty eradication, among others. The Assembly added that CSOs should not be constrained by the official agenda currently being negotiated at the United Nations. They should follow their own agenda, still using the opportunity provided by the UNECA to give their opinions on some of the issues on the agenda of the ongoing discussions.
In conclusion, recommendation was made to continue the discussions at the national and sub-regional levels on the best way forward on the MDGs.
On the IPoA, the Assembly took note of the key commitments contained in the documents, notably the 8 priority areas. Once again, participants expressed their disappointment with the IPoA for its lack of a bold vision and new substantive commitments that could tackle the challenges facing LDCs.
On the issues of hunger, land and agriculture, the discussions underlined most of the current agricultural policies implemented by African LDCs could not lead to the eradication of hunger and poverty. This has been compounded by the issue of land grabbing by so-called foreign investors who are depriving small farmers, especially women, of large portions of arable land. This makes food production even more problematic.
On trade, the discussions showed that African LDCs are still trapped in the export of a few commodities. The current international trade system with its inequities and the growing protectionist policies of developed countries does not offer a way out of such trap. If the LDCs are to make any significant economic and social progress, they need to end dependence on commodity export and move toward trade diversification.
On Rio + 20, the discussions highlighted African CSOs' position on the issues to be discussed at this Conference. There was little optimism about its outcome, given the lack of political will on the part of leading developed countries to rise to the challenges facing the Planet.
The Assembly concluded that none of the policies and programs reviewed above will bring about real solutions to the structural economic and social problems of LDCs. The IPoA is not likely to be more effective than the Brussels Program of Action (BPoA). The threat of climate change is likely to increase. The reason for this pessimism lies in the general framework within which these policies and programs are designed and being implemented.
In fact, the multiple global crises – economic, financial, food, energy, debt and climate – compounded by the persistence and even intensification of militarization and wars against several countries of the South, are symptoms of the fundamental flaws and injustices of the global economic system which is the main source for the deterioration in LDCs' human development indicators, and for their under development in general.
The Assembly reiterated the global civil society organizations (CSOs) call in Istanbul for a fundamental shift in development paradigm.
1. There must be a transformation of the global economic system, and a rejection of policies responsible for poverty, hunger, long-standing structural inequities and imbalances, as well as conflicts and political instability suffered by most LDCs. CSOs should promote an inclusive and sustainable development, by placing the rights of the people, especially vulnerable and marginalized people, at the forefront of policy-making and development processes. The rights of women, children and the youth should be given high priority within the framework of economic, social, ecological and democratic development.
2. This also calls for a new international development cooperation, with a greater emphasis on South-South cooperation and solidarity. Emerging Southern countries should provide a greater assistance to LDCs on trade, finance and technology. UNCTAD has reported that this is already happening for some LDCs. This should be strengthened and extended to all LDCs
3. On agriculture, only a reversal of current policies could provide effective and lasting solutions to hunger and poverty eradication. African LDCs must stop liberalization, protect women's livelihood and provide government support for small-scale and family agriculture, which is the key to achieving food sovereignty. Domestic markets must be protected against subsidized agricultural products from Western countries. The Assembly reiterated the necessity for African governments to implement the Maputo recommendation to invest at least 10% of national budgets in the agricultural sector. The Assembly insisted that the right to food and water should be promoted as first degree human rights to be upheld by all countries and international institutions.
4. The future of agricultural policies and food sovereignty in African LDCs is clouded by the issue of land grabbing that has accelerated in recent years. As a result, large portions of arable land are taken away from farmers each year to the benefit of so-called foreign "investors". The Assembly urges African governments to put an end to land grabbing and protect national ownership of land and its priority use by farmers, especially women and small farmers
5. On commodities, the Assembly recommended adopting agreements at the regional and international levels to stabilise commodity prices and weaken price fluctuations that hurt LDCs' exports. Given African LDCs' over-dependence on commodity exports, adopting such agreements is of utmost importance in the implementation process of the IPoA
6. On trade, African LDCs should strive to diversify their exports, along with enhanced domestic productive capacity and create a better balance between export-led growth and domestic or regional demand-led growth, as part of strategies to build up the resilience of their economies to exogenous shocks. Promoting a greater South-South trade could offer more opportunities for both product and market diversification. Regional integration is also a key to a greater trade diversification through industrialization. However, regional integration has nothing to do with the notion of "open regionalism" in the neoliberal paradigm and part of the "free trade" ideology.
7. The Assembly stressed the great importance of the gender dimension of the above policies and of the IPoA. The IPoA's emphasis on human and social development, gender equality and women's empowerment must be translated into concrete policies and actions and effectively implemented by LDCs' governments, their development partners and UN agencies. The Assembly underscored that gender equality and women's empowerment are among the pillars of equitable, sustainable, inclusive and democratic development
8. On climate change, the Assembly recommended supporting the proposals made by the African Coalition, calling on developed countries to commit predictable, condition-free, additional and non-debt creating financial flows to cover the full costs of adaptation in LDCs as well as the costs of shifting to sustainable systems. More fundamentally, they call for Western countries and their corporation to pay the climate debt, for which they have been responsible, for centuries.
9. On financing, the Assembly reiterated the call for immediate and unconditional cancellation of all debts of LDCs and a moratorium on debt payments pending debt cancellation. The Assembly also urged LDCs' governments to take all necessary measures for a greater mobilization of domestic resources as a way to move toward self-reliance on financing their own development.
10. To achieve the above policies, LDCs' governments should rethink the role of the State as an active agent of development and build developmental States whose mission would be to implement policies, including mobilizing domestic resources, with the view to achieving structural economic and social transformation
The African Assembly is of the opinion that these policies could lead to significant economic and social improvements in LDCs. LDC Watch urges its member organizations to promote these policies – consistent with the recommendations made in the CSO Global Report launched in Istanbul in May 2011 – with their governments and development partners in implementing the IPoA
III) ADVOCACY STRATEGIES FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE IPoA
Indeed, despite the critique leveled against the IPoA, the Assembly urged LDC Watch member organizations to be actively involved in its implementation, assessment and monitoring, at the national, regional and international levels.
1. First and foremost, there is a need for a large dissemination of the IPoA with CSOs, MPs, policymakers and the media. Workshops, media statements and other opportunities should be used as tools for dissemination
2. Nationally, CSOs should develop critical engagement with governments and development partners and emphasize the need for transparency, inclusiveness and participation of all stakeholders in the implementation of the IPoA
3. In the process of implementation of the IPoA, CSOs must stress the need for real policy ownership and policy space for African LDCs
4. It is necessary to create broad-based coalitions at the national level involving key CSOs, social movements, the media and opinion makers, among others, in order to mobilize a strong public opinion for an effective monitoring of the implementation of IPoA.
5. Call on LDC Watch member organizations to issue shadow reports (annually or otherwise) and shadow mid-term reviews expressing the independent assessment of the IPoA
6. Strengthen cooperation with key UN agencies (UNECA; OHRLLS; UNCTAD) and international networks in order to get a broader support for LDC Watch agenda in promoting the interests of LDCs in internati
the MDGs.

Phoebe Philo's innovative and illustrious decade at the creative helm of Céline, and her subsequent departure, was a perfect example of the 'key (wo)man risk' that faces fashion houses and their parent companies.
LVMH recognised that Philo did the work of a lifetime in turning Céline from a relatively unknown, uncommercial house – initially founded to make children's footwear in 1945 – into a brand that was iconic, chic, and coveted, yet still functional. It even spawned one of the first ever Instagram 'it' bags, the Luggage Tote (we've all seen it).
Although a financial success, Philo's Céline meant more to the designer's cult of 'Philophiles' than it ever could have to LVMH: she made clothes after her own desires for workable, classic womenswear that didn't need to be feminine or defined by the male gaze in order to sell. It was trench coats and casual suiting to die for, which impeccably balanced masculine tailoring and luxurious creamy palettes, along with quietly cool accessories and campaigns featuring the 81-year-old Joan Didion and a make-up free Daria Werbowy. It was, ultimately, refreshing to simply see clothes made for women by a woman.
But is that really so revolutionary? After all, fashion is a woman's domain, isn't it? It's trivial, unintellectual, image-obsessed, stupidly overpriced. Okay, I'm being deliberately facetious here, but whilst we might discuss the relative merits and social goods of fashion somewhere else and can certainly pull up figures on the profitability of womenswear vs. menswear for behemoths like LVMH and Kering, I would argue that fashion is markedly not a woman's domain.
Yes, womenswear is responsible for just over 75% of revenues from the $1.7 trillion apparel and footwear market (Euromonitor 2017), so perhaps it is the female consumer's domain, but who controls the image, brand, and authorship of womenswear? Who profits? These are questions I found myself asking when I saw images from the SS19 debut of Céline's new artistic director, Hedi Slimane.
Given the industry's collective slump following Philo's departure, this was an inevitably much-hyped and much-awaited show. Not least because Slimane's appointment was quite a volte-face for the ethos of Céline: his entire sartorial mission up to this point has seemed to rest on click-baiting followers with logo revamps and being obsessed with black.
At YSL – stripped of the 'Yves' and rebranded under his tenure as 'Saint Laurent' – he presented seasons and seasons of modish, retro-noir ideations of Parisian club youth, with plenty of black suiting and tiny sequinned dresses. Waiting apprehensively for the opening of the show (on Instagram live, obviously, not in flesh) I found that Slimane, ever the dynamist, had entered Céline to rip up its rule book and present us with a season of modish, retro-noir ideations of Parisian club youth, with plenty of black suiting and tiny sequinned dresses.
Yes, it was boring; it was hackneyed, arrogant, and just seemed to bite its thumb at everything that Philo and her team had laboured for ten years to build up. Not to mention that the models were all rail-thin and nearly all white: only nine out of 96 looks were worn by models of colour (paltry representation when we consider that NYFW shows featured an average of 45% models of colour on the runway). Unsurprisingly, it sparked a lot of outcry from fashion commentators and 'Philophile' consumers alike.
Slimane's palimpsestic revision of the Céline ethos is not unprecedented, nor will it remain all that controversial. Sadly, as Tim Blanks of Business of Fashion deftly put it, "the modern world's short memory doesn't give a rat's ass for heritage"; that is, what is outcry now may soon turn to controversy cash for LVMH, and people will forget that Slimane slathered his unending obsession with 'La Jeunesse Parisienne' all over Céline.
They will become unbothered just as they became unbothered about the guillotining of 'Yves' from Saint Laurent, forgetting in time that Slimane similarly cut off the accent aigu from the brand name 'Céline', making it just 'Celine'. They will even forget that Slimane, with echoes of Stalin, deleted the entire Instagram history of Philo-era Céline, an act which went beyond all notions of a 'fresh start' and over into digital megalomania of the highest degree.
In a rare interview following his debut, Slimane himself commented: "We don't enter a fashion house to imitate our predecessor, much less to take over the essence of their work, their codes and elements of language" (Vogue Sep 2018). It's true, as he notes, that the history and cultural capital of Céline is not as established as Dior's or Saint Laurent's. But his takeover and ego-brandishing is symbolic of more than just people's discomfort with the unabashedly 'new' in the face of the widely-loved old. It was a 'f**k you' to the framework and message that Céline embodied, of women designing for women, under a label founded by a woman.
Beyond the collection itself (mostly super-tight and super-short glittery evening dresses, ridiculous headpieces that prevented the suiting 'androgyny' Slimane purported to be going for, and little biker girl jackets), this felt and so frustrating to me because it recalled the systemic gender inequality that pumps itself round the fashion industry.
We have seen some major breakthroughs in the last year or so, with Maria Grazia Chiuri now at Dior, and the inimitable Claire Waight Keller heading up Givenchy; however, of all the fashion brands currently operating, only 14% are headed by a woman executive and even fewer are led by women of colour (see here). When you put this figure in the context of a student body in fashion education that is overwhelmingly made up of women (New York's Fashion Institute of Technology reported 85% female enrolment this year), it's all the more disappointing.
I probably don't need to go into the ways in which the annals of power have always disregarded women's creativity, even in a domain historically associated with feminine concerns. But I do want to stress how much of a lasting shame it is that LVMH felt that Céline's decidedly feminist ethos, from a brand that was already a cash cow for the conglomerate, needed to be cast aside in the name of – well, what?
It is important to note that fashion has historically been a safe space for queer-identifying men and that for all the industry's other gripping issues of racism, elitism, and general distortions of power, this aspect has been a victory for the visibility and celebration of gay men. Thus, when Slimane himself suggested that the response so far to his debut at Céline is the result of "latent homophobia", we must listen and understand why he feels this way.
Reading some of the Anglo-American criticism of his show, this is certainly a detectable "subtext" (article here), one that is utterly disappointing and serves only to highlight the authors' prejudices. A discussion, explicit or not, of Slimane's sexual orientation is entirely irrelevant to an objective critique of this show: we need to be intersectional in our understandings of privilege and power in industries such as fashion, recognising that the systemic disadvantages and attitudes Slimane faces as an openly queer man do not also negate his opportunity to be anti-feminist.
I do not want to speak for queer men, but in my investigation into the reception of Slimane's show I came across an insightful video by Youtuber HauteLeMode (also very entertaining, link here). His own comments were that "as a gay man the idea of creating a fantasy for a woman is my favourite thing about fashion… but I've realised that this collection is so misogynistic because this gay man has pushed aside the female consumer of Céline so he can play dress up with girls". He even suggests that LVMH and Slimane may have used the show as a proxy to get back, somehow, at Kering, the parent company of Saint Laurent and Slimane's former employer. If so, he argues, a brand that stood for so much to women around the world would have become a pawn in the petty squabbles of powerful men.
From proxy wars down to the highly symbolic refashioning of the Céline logo, which itself was the work of a man re-writing a woman's name, Slimane has defaced Philo's legacy. Perhaps many in the industry sphere will get over this, glued to the on-screen image of the next trend. However, the crying gap in the market will remain open for the sort of womenswear that allows its wearer to get on with the job whilst looking ever-chic, as Philo, herself a consummate professional and mother of two, always did. Until then, savour the pictures, save up for the vintage (the work of a lifetime, I know), and don't forget the accent on Céline.

Back to original plan for 1000 LaTrobe St
28 Mar 2018
Development site 1000 LaTrobe St has arrived back where it started – as a commercial office proposal.
The site in Digital Harbour received a planning permit from Matthew Guy in 2013 for a 23-storey office tower. In 2016, attempts were made to reposition the offering as a 28-storey apartment tower.
Poly Australia bought the site last year and appears to have dusted off the 2013 permit.
It says it intends to develop a 24-storey A-grade office tower featuring approximately 31,000sqm of net leasing area.
"1000 La Trobe Street will be Poly Australia's first commercial building in Victoria," Poly Victoria executive director Steve Wang said.
"As such as intend to ensure that it will become one of Docklands' most impressive building, both visually and environmentally."
"Overlooking the Yarra River and the city skyline, we look forward to developing a world-class building that everyone within the Melbourne business district can be proud of."
In December, Development Victoria granted the developer a two-year permit extension to start the project, which is expected later this year.

Today, Sri Lanka is at the crossroads of the fastest-growing economies in the world and is the main transhipment port in South Asia, presenting opportunities for both Australian exporters and logistics services providers. Sri Lanka's strategic advantages Sri Lanka's two major ports are the Port of Colombo and the Port of Hambantota in the south, both of which are well connected to Colombo Airport. In 2018, the Port of Colombo alone handled seven million TEU containers, up from one million in 1995. As a major maritime hub in the region, Sri Lanka offers: a strategic position in South Asia that provides access to the emerging economic giant India. India is on track to be the third largest economy in the world by 2030, after China and the US. exposure to China's Belt and Road Initiative through terminals in the Port of Colombo and the Port of Hambantota, both of which have attracted Chinese investment. China is one of Sri Lanka's key trading partners. the ability to reach Europe and the Middle East faster . deepwater ports with the capacity to accommodate post panmax or triple 'E' class vessels. Competitive advantages for Australian exporters Australian businesses that export or are considering exporting to Sri Lanka can use its ports to ship products to other markets. Australian agricultural, food and clothing companies also have the option of shipping raw materials to Sri Lanka for processing or manufacturing, then exporting the finished goods to markets around the world. Shipping out of Sri Lanka offers the following benefits: Faster speed to market – Sri Lanka provides unparalleled speed, frequency and capacity for exporters that want to ship products to Europe's major ports, including Rotterdam, Antwerp, Felixstow, Southampton and Hamburg. Meanwhile, the Port of New York can be reached within 22 days. Dubai and Singapore – the major ports either side of Colombo – can be reached in 4.5 days through multiple carriers. Sri Lanka is highly suited for time-sensitive cargo such as garments and value-added food products. Preferential market access – Sri Lanka has free trade agreements with India and Pakistan, and is concluding agreements with Singapore and China. It has preferential access to EU markets under the GSP + scheme. Agricultural produce such as grains and lentils can be processed in Sri Lankan free zones for export to neighbouring markets. Greater choice and capacity – Freight capacity and frequency out of the Port of Colombo is unmatched when compared with other ports in South Asia. A Sri Lankan–based exporter can choose from multiple mainline carriers, which means multiple container cut-off times to ship goods direct to main ports. An exporter based in South India has fewer options and will need to rely on feeder vessels with capacity constraints. Lower freight and logistics costs – With scale comes lower shipping and logistics costs. Exporting out of the Port of Colombo can minimise the cost of price-sensitive cargo such as agricultural commodities, minerals and construction materials. Opportunities for logistics service providers Australian logistics providers based in Sri Lanka can offer their services to South Asian and other international customers plugged into global supply chains. There are opportunities to provide services such as multi-country consolidations (MCC), entrepot services, warehousing, assembly and minor processing, labelling and repackaging. Companies that offer diving services, ship repairs, bunkering, ship chandlers, sea marshals and crew may also find opportunities at Sri Lankan ports. The Sri Lankan Government is supporting all of the above opportunities through its National Export Strategy – Logistics Strategy 2018–2022 . Contact Austrade for more information if you wish to expand your logistics footprint in Sri Lanka or intend to make use of Sri Lanka's position as a springboard to enter new markets.

Premier Li Keqiang arrived in Berlin on July 8 for the fifth round of intergovernmental consultations between China and Germany and an official visit to the European country.
The trip marks Premier Li's fourth visit to Germany as Chinese premier, and the intergovernmental consultations are the first of its kind since the two countries' new governments took office in March.
Premier Li will chair the consultations together with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. The two sides will plan and coordinate comprehensive cooperation in the next four to five years.
The two leaders will also attend a forum on China-Germany economic and technological cooperation and a presentation of the two countries' cooperation on autonomous driving, and witness the signing of a series of documents.
In a signed article titled "Good Partners for Greater Openness and Innovation Cooperation" published in the mainstream German newspaper, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, prior to his official visit to Germany, the Premier called for greater openness and innovative cooperation in ties with Germany.
Premier Li points out that China and Germany need to further expand two-way opening-up. Only sustained two-way opening-up can facilitate bilateral cooperation and bring about win-win outcomes for both countries and all parties involved.
Premier Li's visit comes after his trip in Bulgaria where he attended the seventh meeting of the heads of government of China and 16 Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries.

The Plan
The Puppy Industry
We've learned some important things about the "puppy industry" in our combined years of being veterinarians. Many of us having worked with pet stores to care for the puppies they sell (wherever they come from, they're innocent and need good care) and that makes us somewhat of "insiders". And we believe we've discovered an Achilles's Heel of the whole industry.
We've learned that Pet Stores buy puppies from Puppy Mills 99% of the time. They buy the dogs cheaply, for a couple of hundred dollars in most cases. Their goal is to turn that puppy around and sell it for thousands of dollars as soon as possible. It's the only way they can stay in business.
Why "as soon as possible"? The Pet Store is an expensive business to operate.
- It's space requirements are large
- Heating and air conditioning are expensive and essential
- Puppies need food and produce a lot of waste
- Puppies need vaccinations, dewormings, and regular veterinary care.
- It's a very labor intensive business, even apart from the veterinary care.
- Margins are small on everything EXCEPT selling young puppies.
So it's in the interest of the Pet Store to sell the puppies as soon as they can because they need these sales to subsidize the rest of the business. But why do they need to sell them immediately?
- Because people will pay more for younger puppies
- Every day that puppy stays in the store, it becomes an "expense".
- The costs for caring for unsold puppies start to skyrocket. Food, vaccines, veterinary care, labor costs to care for them all add up and decrease the profit for any puppy who stays in the store for more than a week or two
- Once the puppies grow up in the store and reach about 18weeks of age, they're essentially worthless, and the store will do anything just to move them out of the store, including giving them away.
How This Information Will Doom the Puppy Mill Industry
As veterinarians, we've all seen too many clients coming in to our hospitals with puppies they've bought from Pet Stores. We always ask them why (in a very diplomatic way). The responses vary but can be summed up thus:
- Convenience
- Impulse
- Too daunting a task to find a good breeder.
- Ignorance (they don't actually say that)
We realized that the key here is just how hard it can be for a potential puppy purchaser to find a "good" breeder. How can they do that?
Why Hasn't Anything Else Worked to Close Down Puppy Mills and Pet Stores Selling Puppies?
We've seen many valiant efforts fail.
Legislation fails because:
- of the lack of money for enforcement
- loopholes in the laws
- the ability to easily close one puppy mill and open another just down the road
- mild penalties
- State's rights issues
Boycotting fails because:
- most activist groups are local
- most activist groups are poorly run by volunteers
- there are laws against boycotting that vary from state to state
- most activist groups are poorly organized and funded.
How Will We Succeed? What is the Plan?
We realize that the key is competition.
In our free market society, this can often be the only thing that works. Who would have imagined that an online seller of books could have possibly competed with Barnes & Noble or Borders Booksellers? Didn't people need to browse the aisles of bookstores to buy books? But a mere ten years later, Borders is out of business, and B & N is reeling. Could anyone have imagined that we would be buying our clothes and shoes online? Zappos helped us change the way we shop. All Amazon did was offer people an easier way to shop, with better choices. And great customer service.
We will offer an easy way to for people to purchase high quality pups from responsible breeders, in good health that are guaranteed not to arrive sick to their new homes, and guaranteed not to develop the major diseases that have become inherent in those breeds.
Our sister site, www.PuppyProject.org will offer responsible breeders the opportunity to become "Certified Breeders". This certification will entail the breeders learning advanced courses about breeding and reproduction, passing certain tests, and having their facility inspected. This is not unlike what AAHA (The American Animal Hospital Association) does with veterinary hospitals.
ONLY breeders who have met our requirements will be allowed to sell their dogs on www.PuppyProject.org.
How Will This Change Everything?
- Potential puppy purchasers will have an easy way to find great breeders without risk
- By eating into Puppy Stores most important segment (8-12wk old pups) we will take away a nice portion of their profits that they use to subsidize caring for older puppies.
- Without as much profit from those sales, the cost for caring for the puppies in the store will become overwhelming, considering their needs.
- Without being able to realize significant profits from the sales of 8-12 week old puppies, the entire process of selling puppies becomes untenable.
- As pet stores slowly stop selling Puppy Mill puppies, the Puppy Mills themselves will lose their retail outlets.
- Without the nationwide retail outlets (pet stores) Puppy Mills will be forced to sell directly to consumers.
- Puppy Mills selling puppies directly to consumers will flourish for a while, until the public learns more. Eventually, puppy purchasers will realize the the VETcbs Certification is the only guarantee of getting a quality puppy.
- Without their nationwide retail outlets, the Puppy Mill industry will eventually collapse.
Who Will Benefit from this Change?
- Responsible Breeders: With the decrease in supply of puppies, the cost will go up. That's the Law of Supply and Demand in a nutshell. Responsible breeders will finally be able to realize a profit on the sales of the puppies that they put their hearts and souls into.
- People wishing to purchase a puppy: They will be able to easily find local and distant responsible breeders, and the dog they purchase will come with health guarantees.
- The Puppies themselves: Over time, and dent in the Puppy Mill industry can only make life better for the hundreds of thousands of dogs who will be born into this misery or Puppy Mill Factory Farming of Dogs.
- The Breeding Dogs: The puppies eventually find their way out of the Puppy Mill and hopefully into a good home. But the breeding bitches and studs never do, and live their entire lives in what are essentially concentration camps. This, too, will stop.
- Adoption and Shelter Dogs: As the price of puppies increases, very often beyond the reach of lower or middle income people, there will be more and more people going to shelters to adopt dogs. A big part of the problem is that now people can buy "purebred" puppy mill dogs for mere hundreds of dollars, instead of the thousands that they should be paying. Choosing between buying a "purebred" or getting a mutt at the shelter for about the same price is a difficult choice for most people. Choosing between buying a dog for $2000 or more, or choosing a great dog from the shelter is another story.
- Veterinarians: Vets hate seeing sick dogs coming from Pet Stores. We also hate dealing with Pet Store owners. We face the choice of either treating the puppy at our expense, or have the new owner take the puppy back to the pet store for them to treat it at no cost. Or for them to return the puppy if it's too sick for euthanasia. With our guarantee, the veterinarian will be able to treat the puppy, and make a profit doing so.
- The Breed Itself: It's no secret that Puppy Mills have diluted the quality of the dog breeds we love. The list is too numerous and the problems we now regularly see in dogs are directly related to poor breeding. By decreasing the amount of dogs bred through Puppy Mills and sold through Pet Stores, we can put the breeding of dogs back in the hands of the people who know best how to do it….. responsible dog breeders.
- The Pet Store Owner: well, maybe not. But at least they'll be able to sleep at night a lot better than when they were selling Puppy Mill dogs and ripping off their customers.

Rain in Oregon is an unfortunate problem for skateboarders who wish to access skateparks. In Eugene, there are no covered skateparks, so if its raining you're out of luck. With the ongoing rain this fall and winter in Eugene, all four of Eugene's most popular skateparks tend to be deserted.
Mother of three, Becky Burkeen, enjoys taking her son Luke to the skateparks in Lake Oswego, Oregon but their local skatepark has closed for the season. She has expressed to the staff of the skatepark that a covered or indoor skatepark would be a beneficial impact for the community and provide a place where kids can go year round. The same is true for skateboarders in Eugene. Whether it is children just learning to skate, or more experienced skateboarders who wish to utilize skateparks to practice more challenging moves there is no where to go when it is raining.
Skateboarding is one of the most popular sports in the United States. However, along with it comes a stigma that causes many people to believe that skateparks are not a positive attribute to a community. According to U.S. Parks and Recreation Magazine "many seem to have no knowledge of or concern for the many positives a skatepark provides and often only seem to look at building a skatepark in response to nuisance street skating and opposition to bans."
The opposition of building a skatepark could come from a few different places. People worry about crime occurring in the are where a skatepark is located including vandalism, drug activity, and theft. Another issue, especially for those liable for the skatepark, worry about injuries that may occur as people attempt moves they are not ready for. Another issue is the high cost of building a skatepark, with the cost reaching to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
On the other hand, Skateparks provide a safe environment for people of all ages to learn how to skateboard or to improve on their skating skills. Because of the smooth surfaces and well lit areas, it eliminates some of the injuries that may occur from street skateboarding. It is a healthy activity for the youth of the United States. "A skatepark can provide a safe social venue to burn off youthful exuberance in a healthy manner thus treating the cause rather than the symptoms of delinquent behavior and saving communities in policing and health cost." says the Public Skatepark Development Guide. According to Skate Eugene, there are 16 million baseball players in the United States with over 110,000 baseball diamonds and there are 13 million skateboarders with only 2,300 skateparks.
In Eugene, there are currently several skateparks including: Amazon Park, Cal Young, Churchill, and Bethel. All four of these parks are uncovered, limiting use during the fall through spring seasons. These parks have been popular, and that is why people have been pushing to build a new, larger skatepark, that could accommodate more people in the community. Nick Mishima, an avid rollerblader, said that a covered skate park would be beneficial for Eugene because "it would provide a place for skaters to go no matter what the weather. Also I would like bigger skatepark so I could attempt more challenging tricks." Mishima added that it would also cut down on skating in places where it is considered to be illegal.
Plans for a new skatepark in Eugene have been drawn up and approved. The site of the new skate park is at Washington Jefferson Park located underneath the I-105 bridge. This park will be much larger than the other skateparks currently in Eugene. Also the park will be covered by the bridges so skaters will be able to use the park year round. Not only does this provide a place for people to skate no matter what the weather is, but it is more worth the money to build a skatepark that is used year round rather than in the sunny months.
Partial funding was secured in 2008 from the city's Capital Improvement Plan. However, more funds needed to be raised to make the skate park happen.
In October 2012, the decision to financially support Skatepark at Washington Jefferson Park was passed by city council. All eight members of the council voted yes to use funds from the Systems Development Charge to construct the Washington Jefferson Skatepark. Additionally, the funds will contribute to the on going maintenance the park will require after it is built. Additional funds will need to be secured in the future, to continue the maintenance of the park but the Eugene Parks Foundation has starting working to raise these funds.
The group, Skate Eugene, felt that the presence of a skatepark in this location would be a beneficial addition to the Eugene community. "Skatepark advocates and supporters along with other community members in favor of realizing a different future for the W-J Park are stunned and electrified at this amazing and fortunate turn of events."
The park will begin construction in 2013 and will be 18,000 square feet. It will be the only year round, and fully-lit skatepark in the area. They will also rebuild the bathroom and playground, in a more visible, safer location.
Washington Jefferson Park was the location of Occupy Eugene. It is a large open grassy area, and after Occupy Eugene the grass was mostly mud due to the high traffic of people. The proposal to build a skatepark at Washington Jefferson park would help to revamp the park and not only restore it but make an all around better park. It would also utilize a space that is now not used by many people. It is a centrally located in Eugene and is located under several bridges so the added noise would not be a factor in an already loud area.
The new skatepark is being designed by Dreamland Skateparks. The skatepark will include a large flat open space, a quarter pipe that goes into a hilly transition, two bowls: one small and one large, a grind bench, several ledges, and a manual pad. It will provide a cleaner, more modern look for the park which is currently just a large area of grass. Dreamland Skateparks is based out of Lincoln City, Oregon. On their staff they have professional skateboarders, licensed landscape architects, and concrete craftsmen. They have built skateparks all across the United States, and have even done some international projects.
When considering a design for their skateparks Dreamland Skate parks feels that "Insight, creativity, and long-term [return on investment] are what distinguish Dreamland designs, a result of taking into account such constraints as local skateboarding inclinations, [crime prevention through environmental design] concerns, and local committee goals, with the ultimate goal of maximizing your investment by providing a facility that supports long-term participant activity."
A larger, new skatepark in Eugene will benefit families, students, and avid skateboarders all over Eugene and its smaller neighboring cities. This new skatepark will be what the skating community in Eugene has been missing and will open up Eugene as a more skateboarding friendly city.
Guide to Eugene's Skateparks:
Cal Young: Cal Young skatepark is located next to Cal Young Middle school. It is a medium size skatepark with several half pipes and rails. Next to it is a large playground making it ideal for families. Parking is limited in this area.
Churchill: Churchill skatepark is located on Baily Hill Rd and 18th street. It is a smaller skatepark but has several large bowls. It is located directly behind Churchill high school so it is the perfect location for students in that area.

According to Whelan and Bell, there is nothing unethical about being your client's board member; however, there are common ethical issues that may arise from time to time.
First, the attorney-client privilege of the corporation may be put in jeopardy. Generally speaking, the lawyer's duty of confidentiality to a client under Professional Conduct Rule 1.6 and the board member's fiduciary duty of confidentiality to the corporation are consistent. However, the obligations of lawyer and board member can separate when it comes to the attorney-client privilege.
In some cases, the lawyer can fall into both sides of the spectrum. The lawyer who is a board member will be inclined to offer business advice as well as legal advice. The difference between business and legal advice can become unclear and information that might be privileged could lose its privileged nature when the lawyer giving advice is also on the board. In addition, some courts have found that the attorney-client privilege is much narrower when the lawyer is also a board member. A lawyer board member should clearly separate legal advice from business advice and make clear when providing privileged legal advice.
Secondly, conflicts of interest may arise in the lawyer-board member's dual relationship. It is important that a lawyer/board member be aware of the conflicts that may arise that limit the lawyer-board member's ability to exercise independent judgment with respect to decisions as a board member.
To determine whether a conflict of interest has risen, the lawyer-board member must determine whether the representation of the business will be "materially limited" by the other responsibilities of the lawyer. The lawyer-board member must be aware of conflicts which may limit their ability to exercise independent judgment as a board member when voting on matters that will affect them as a lawyer on the law firm.
Finally, Whelan and Bell outline how the lawyer-board member should advise the client of the implications of the dual role as board member and counsel. They explain that it is important for a lawyer to alert business management and the rest of the board of the potential issues that could arise when serving as a lawyer-board member as they come up. This discussion should occur before the lawyer becomes a board member, or before a board member is engaged as the business's lawyer. This conversation should include considerations of risk to the attorney client privilege and the potential for conflicts of interest. A successful conversation should assure the lawyer that the client is aware of the risks that could arise. It may also behoove the lawyer, business and clients to provide a summary of the conversation and risks in writing to the management and board.

A method of sterilizing women by burning their fallopian tubes and upper uterus with acid is the latest procedure to find favor with certain prominent worldwide population control advocates.
The procedure, called quinacrine sterilization, uses a modified intrauterine device (IUD) applicator to introduce quinacrine pellets to within about .5 centimeters of the top, or fundus, of the uterus. There they dissolve, filling the upper womb and the nearby fallopian tubes with quinacrine hydrochloride, a strong acid. The resulting chemical burns, particularly to the sensitive fallopian tissues, are intended to provoke the growth of scar tissue thus blocking the tubes and preventing conception.
The data about quinacrine's safety are limited and contradictory. Some very basic questions — such as whether it might cause cancer — remain unanswered. Yet quinacrine's proponents appear unconcerned about its possible adverse health consequences, preferring to focus their research on the so-called practicalities of the procedure (dosage, introduction method and time frame) while accelerating their effort to sterilize as many women in the developing world as possible. Unless responsible parties in the United States and other countries begin to take a more active role in the regulation of this drug, it seems likely that ever greater numbers of women will be harmed by it.
Quinacrine history
Although chemical sterilization is an idea with ancient roots, the first modern research took place in Germany in the 1920's, where scientists began investigating the use of carbon dioxide as a sterilization tool. The method, while faster and easier than surgical procedures, killed too many patients.1 Then, as now, the desire was to find a quick, cheap and widely available means of eliminating female fertility.
The search was abandoned in the years after the war but resumed in the 1920's. Dr. Jaime Zipper, the inventor of the Copper T IUD, developed a procedure to flood the uterus with a "quinacrine slurry." His experiments were unsuccessful because the drug leaked from the uterus into the body cavity often. On occasion it even entered the bloodstream, allegedly causing at least three deaths.2
Zipper then turned to a hard pellet form of the drug which contained less of the compound and could be placed with greater accuracy near the fallopian tissues. Zipper's experience with applicators enabled him to modify them to deliver quinacrine tablets to within a few millimeters of where they would do the most harm. This, with adjustments, has been the basic technique ever since.
What quinacrine does
Once quinacrine tablets are placed near a woman's fallopian tubes and begin to dissolve into quinacrine hydrochloride, her tissue begins to undergo severe chemical damage.
In a 1995 study researchers inserted quinacrine tablets into 33 Indian women who were awaiting hysterectomy for other causes. Ten received 252 milligrams of quinacrine (7 pellets, the standard dose) and 23 others received 324 milligrams (9 pellets). Researchers examined the uteri and fallopian tubes of the women following removal and described the varying degrees of damage they found. The result was a four-stage classification scheme ranging from patent (no damage) (stage 0) to complete tubal occlusion (stage III).
Their descriptions of the damage read like a diagnosis of severe illness, made all the more bizarre because this damage was intentionally inflicted.
In stage I, the "stage of acute inflammation," the researchers described, "damage to epithelium, with slight or no decrease in lumen. Acute inflammatory change in laminia .… often with hemorrhage .… Areas of necrosis as result of tissue damage. Heavy infiltration of submucosa and muscle by neutrophils, lymphocytes and plasma cells with vascular congestion and vasodilation."3
Stage II was characterized by "chronic inflammation," the researchers found, "with chronic inflammatory cellular infiltrate in lamnia propria, submucosa and inner muscle coat…"
Stage III the "stage of fibrosis and tubal occlusion," was marked by "complete loss of mucosal lining with an absence of lumen [as well as]… marked fibrosis of inner muscle coat."
It is interesting to note, however, that even after all this damage had been done, a few of the fallopian tubes began showing signs of reconstituting themselves. "Some stage III tubes showed a process of recanalization … however the lumen is neither lined with normal epithelium, nor continuous with the lumen in the rest of the tube of this series."4
None of the women who received the standard quinacrine dose exhibited precisely the same stage of post-insertion damage in the same time frame. The researchers concluded that higher dosages might have to be used.
Safe and effective?
The finding that fallopian tubes scar at different rates has further inflamed the ongoing debate within the population control movement itself about the merits of this method. Marge Berer, writing in Reproductive Health Matters, questions whether it is worth pursuing at all:
Quinacrine is intended to achieve a sterilization. There is no inexpensive or non-invasive means of checking at follow-up whether it has worked — only a subsequent pregnancy would indicate failure. Ectopic pregnancy is life-threatening and a major cause of maternal mortality, so any increased risk of ectopic pregnancy is important. It might be higher if women did not return for a recommended second insertion and/or the method occluded the tubes partially but not completely enough to prevent fertilization.5
Available studies lend credence to Berer's concerns. Studies of quinacrine sterilization in Chile, where two insertions of quinacrine were used, found a cumulative failure rate of 3.4 % among women over 35, and therefore less fertile. The failure rate among women under 35 was 8.7% at five years and 11.6 percent at 10 years. This compares unfavorably with surgical sterilization, which has consistently lower failure rates. The largest quinacrine study ever conducted, which involved almost 32,000 women in Vietnam, revealed a failure rate of 4.31% after 24 months.6
Quinacrine enthusiasts counter that improved data on dosage, delivery technique, optimum timing and possible use of additional drugs will bring the failure rate down. But every modification adopted to gain a greater chance of sterilization also tends to reduce quinacrine's overall usefulness. For example, the use of specially trained technicians may increase the sterilization rate, but then what of quinacrine's ease of application, so often touted by proponents? If paramedical staff cannot perform the procedure without special training, then one of quinacrine's major "advantages" is lost.
Other problems abound. Studies have found that some women bleed profusely merely from having the quinacrine hydrochloride applied, flushing out the acid and thus making it unlikely that the requisite damage to their tubes will be done. Unsuccessful attempts at quinacrine sterilization are not evident, as Berer pointed out, until a woman becomes pregnant, with the increased risk of ectopic pregnancy that entails.
Then there is the concern that quinacrine is a carcinogen. A study of just over 800 women in Chile who had undergone quinacrine hydrochloride sterilization between 1977 and 1989 revealed an elevated incidence of cancer among women who were 40 years or older when they accepted quinacrine sterilization.
Women sterilized with quinacrine between the ages of 40–44 had a cancer rate that was almost double that expected, while women sterilized between the ages of 45–49 years had more than double the expected rate.7
A second Chilean study also yielded an increased incidence of cervical cancer, but the researchers, including Jaime Zipper, declared the increase to be "not significantly different" than that of the general population. Clearly more research needs to be done.
Dr. Ralph Heywood, a British toxicologist who has three decades of experience in assessing fertility control methods, has voiced other concerns about quinacrine and DNA:
Given the prevalence and range of cancers, tumors, sexually transmitted diseases and other injection in the upper reproductive tract in women," [how quinacrine might impact DNA is important.] "It is concluded that the pre-clinical package of data is inadequate at this time to make a proper risk assessment. It is my position that studies in women should not be conducted until a risk-benefit assessment has been made."8
Coercive philosophy
If quinacrine is not only a suspected carcinogen but is unreliable to boot, why push it so hard? Quinacrine supporters speak of a vast and pressing need among women in the developing world for a safe means of preventing pregnancy as the primary reason.
Dr. Stephen Mumford, who is president of the Center for Research on Population and Security, is perhaps quinacrine's foremost proponent. Mumford often cites concerns over maternal health as the reason for his interest in quinacrine, although he has frequently voiced other concerns (see sidebar on page 11).
"It would be tragic to see [opponents of quinacrine] win out," Mumford said, "for the women around the world who die of unintended pregnancy, quinacrine offers their only hope."9
But quinacrine opponents counter that Mumford's approach is predicated on an unacceptable double standard for women's health care. A woman facing a difficult pregnancy in a developed country is given medical care to help her reduce the risk; a woman in a developing country is told to burn her womb with acid to avoid that risk. Berer carries the question to its logical end:
According to the logic [that risks to maternal health justify quinacrine distribution] everyone should be sterilized so that there would be no risk of maternal deaths at all.
Even in [its] own terms, however, [this] argument is scientifically flawed. The fact is that women at risk of a maternal death are a much bigger group than those who do not want to be pregnant and who do want to be sterilized. The risks and benefits of a sterilization method should be compared with those of other sterilization methods, not with the risks of maternity. There are alternatives to pregnancy besides quinacrine sterilization, even where the skills to surgical sterilization are lacking .… The fact is, on the basis of what is currently known about it, quinacrine sterilization would not be approved and could not be provided in any country with well functioning drug regulatory mechanisms. And it is only in the poorest of rural and urban areas of certain developing countries, where women do not have access to the information that would allow them to make an informed choice, that quinacrine sterilization is being provided.10
Dr. Amy Pollack, president of the Association for Voluntary Surgical Contraception, a population control organization, also refutes Mumford's claims: "What kills women in childbirth is horrible obstetrical services, totally inadequate services that exist around the world. Not only are they bad services, but they're services provided for women who want to have children, and those women are not going to choose sterilization. So women who don't choose sterilization and choose to get pregnant are not going to be saved by quinacrine. The numbers that are presented to us don't take that into account at all."11
If Mumford's concern about maternal health is bogus, then why is he and others pushing this acid so hard around the world? Many suspect that a fear of population growth in the developing world, far more than a concern for women's health, guides the quinacrine effort. This interpretation is supported by the coercion and dissembling that has surrounded quinacrine trials to date.
The largest clinical trial of the drug has taken place in Vietnam — a nation governed by a one-party dictatorship which is currently making a concerted push to lower the birth rate.12 Did Vietnamese women participate voluntarily in clinical trials, or were they coerced? There are allegations, made in a Vietnamese language publication called The Woman, that at least 100 of the participants in the Vietnamese study had quinacrine inserted without their knowledge during pelvic examinations.13 Faced with these and many other charges this study was suddenly halted in 1993.
There are also credible reports that ever-growing numbers of women are being sterilized without any standard drug trial protocol at all.
In Pakistan, for example, a Dr. Altaf Bashir of the Mother and Child Welfare Association in Faisalabad has reported sterilizing women with quinacrine at the rate of 100 a month.14 Most of the women were found in "street camps" or were otherwise tracked down and "motivated" by Bashir's staff.
Because so many women did not return to the clinics for the second insertion of the drug Bashir took up a single insertion approach, even though much of the available research so far argues against a single insertion being sufficient to cause complete sterility. An independent nurse practitioner who observed Bashir's work had this to say about it:
Some patients are recruited at 'street camps' and given little information or time to fully understand and think about the implications of this type of procedure. Patients receiving treatment at regular clinic facilities receive a bit more information, but are not informed that this method has not been formally sanctioned for use in Pakistan. Insertions are primarily conducted by lady health workers (not doctors) with limited clinical skills necessary to rule out any underlying pathology. Essentially no follow up of these patients is conducted. The patient is told to 'return if she has any problems.' Those that don't return are assumed to have no problems, no pregnancies, etc. There is no mechanism established for follow up of these patients.15
Another critic wrote: '"Dr. Bashir claimed that she has a very low failure rate with the method but she never seemed to see the women again to confirm this, except for those who returned one month after the insertion. Dr. Bashir claimed that the women don't return because they have no problems. But in this part of the world it is much more likely that woman who has experienced problems would simply not be permitted by her family to return to the same clinic, precisely because she had problems…"
Concerns increase as well when it becomes clear who directs and funds quinacrine's distribution.
As part of its investigation into the use of human subjects in contraceptive research, the British Broadcasting Company's Horizon series found links between the Leland Fikes Foundation, a private American group, Stephen Mumord's quinacrine effort,16 and the Federation for American Immigration Reform, an organization known to be strongly anti-immigrant.
It is also known that Family Health International, an organization founded by Mumford's friend, Dr. Elton Kessel, is directly involved in supplying quinacrine to India,17 where an estimated 10,000 women have been sterilized.
Mumford and Kessel reportedly direct much of the campaign out of Mumford's basement in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.18 Further, Family Health International is the organization which was in charge of at least one trial of Norplant in Haiti from which observers in Haiti reported horrific instances of brutality.19
The weight of the evidence leads observers to strongly doubt if improving women's health is the primary motivating factor behind the worldwide quinacrine effort and to question whether racial fears and prejudice might play more of a role. But no matter what the motivations, in the absence of some concerted international effort, it seems likely that the push to advance quinacrine use will likely continue unabated.

In chess in the beginning of the game, we want to bring out our army and get it ready to fight, and we also want to make sure that our king is safe. A lot of teachers use, what is called the ten golden moves, or sometimes it's also know as the bull's head, let me demonstrate.
Hi, war brings us the remembering gun, death, paucity and many other negative feelings. We all are aware about the harms of war and there is no country which have tendency for war because it causes lot of loss in different aspects. Not just for the side which fail but also for winner because it is costly and it will have damage both countries one more and one less. Now a day the world is like a global village and s that any war can hurt not just war components but also all the world, so that it is reasonable that all countries in the world help preventing any war.
Hi, world war first and second was two terrible events in the world history. And they bring many damages to the participant countries and thousands of people killed in first and second wars. Anyway we know that the war is not good and bring much damages for all participants regardless they become winner or failure in the war. So that no country now have tendency to fight with other one. But there are some causes of wars. May be studying of causes of first and second world war can help us in better understanding about war and might help us to prevent more war in the world. Let's watch the video about causes of first world war.
Hi, war is a world that carry many negative feeling with itself like death, paucity, and many other problems for the country. And it causes not just fo the failure country but also for the winner country in the war. In fact war is harmful for both winner and failure country. I hope very soon every countries understand it and ignore any war and even conflict between each other. For the first world war there was some causes like Militarism, alliances, imperialism, and nationalism which they played an important role in world war 1. Let's watch the video of causes of world war 1.
Hi today we are going to talk about secrets of making money by starting a small businesses. At first thank for all of you coming here which you are all interested in knowing the secret of business, making money and thank for the people who are watching this video at home or in the vide. Many people try to start a business but studies shows that about 80 percent of businesses in the first year fail and about 90 percent in the first five year fails and it is a huge amount. You can be a winner, by knowing where to open, what to open and how.
This is a science and technology and educational video talking about honor. Hi, Vsauce Michael here, where is here and how much does it weight? Supposed to be as Michael, well what is the greatest honor. Let's begin our journey by looking at challenges and achievements wordy with honor. The first the physical ones being the fastest person in a marathon 42.195 kilometer, 26.2 miles is great but why stop there the ironman involves swimming 2.4 miles, racing on bicycle for 112 miles and then running an entire marathon. The winner did it in 8 hours three minutes 56 seconds. Beyond that thing to get mental.
This is a tutorial video that will speak about using subconscious. This is how you can change your life. This speaks that our as proved our mind has magnet power. In a simple example a piece of steel has a normal power but a magnetize piece of steel is much more powerful that the not magnetized one. It is similar for man, the man who is magnetized is born to succeed and will try, will be win and the man who is demagnetized fear of the opportunities, and is disappointed and tell people laugh at me, this type of man will lose their chances.
Here there are three questions that will examine your logic thinking. The first question, How many actions does it take to put a giraffe in the fridge? The answer is three. 1- open the door of the fridge. 2- put the giraffe in to the fridge 3- close the door of the fridge. Question no.2, how many actions does it take to put an elephant in to the fridge? The answer is four because you will have more action for taking out the giraffe. This is when you should think logically. The last question: race hold between an elephant and giraffe which one will be winner? The answer is giraffe because the elephant is still in the fridge.
You might hear a lot about the power of mind and belief. Here is a scientist who researched about it and says that the differences between losers and winner is that winner internally has a perfect image and try for that while losers do not have that. Many big people like Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, and right brothers has this power of internal perfect image, they believed they can do what they are trying for and they actually changed the world. We are the same as them the only difference is the perception of us and our aware ness about this power.

Im not having much luck using my current bullet lube with Wilkinson bullets for accuracy. I probably am using too much wax.
I was wondering if anyone has tried the 5050 lard/beeswax mix with the Wilkinson? It seems to me that the W's ring is so small that this mix would be too soft to do any good?
How does the lard/bees mix hold up in the heat with Minis? Seems it would turn messy pretty quick

If you thought the mischaracterization of the Benghazi attack was an underhanded way to influence the 2012 election, fasten your seat belt. President Obama has a new one up his sleeve. He is so desperate to stop Vladimir Putin from releasing Hillary Clinton's deleted emails that Russia may have hacked that he is literally threatening a cyberwar against Russia if Moscow publishes them.
Wait a minute.
Now we have the spectacle of a president threatening war to keep secret emails sent by his own secretary of state on an illegal private server. He does so, not in the interest of national security, but to stop Republicans from winning the election. Not since Henry Kissinger urged South Vietnam to reject Lyndon Johnson's peace offer so Nixon could win in 1968, has there been so blatant an attempt to manipulate questions of war and peace to influence an election.
In this column, I have warned repeatedly that I believe that Putin is about to release all of Clinton's deleted emails through WikiLeaks.
This release would be devastating. It would immediately rebut Clinton's oft-repeated claim that she did not endanger national security by using her private server for classified emails. Now, Russia might show up with all of the emails — with no redactions — proving that her server was, indeed, hacked and that our worst enemy got all of them.
Now, as Election Day approaches, the evidence mounts that Putin may, in fact, release the 33,000 deleted emails. Democrats are blaming Russia for the hacks on former DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and on campaign manager John Podesta. And, now, NBC News reports, "The Obama administration is contemplating an unprecedented cyber covert action against Russia in retaliation for alleged Russian interference in the American presidential election.
"Current and former officials with direct knowledge of the situation say the CIA has been asked to deliver options to the White House for a wide-ranging 'clandestine' cyber operation designed to harass and 'embarrass' the Kremlin leadership."
Domestically, the Democrats are trying to spread the notion, through their media allies, that Trump and Putin are an item, despite the fact that it was Bill Clinton who got hundreds of thousands of dollars in speaking fees from Russian corporations, allegedly to get his wife to approve the sale of uranium to Moscow.
Their hope is that the issue of hacking and of Russian intervention in the U.S. election will overshadow either the content of the deleted emails or the fact that they ended up in Russian hands.
Are there any lengths to which Obama won't go to influence the election? And this brinksmanship with Russia comes at a time when Hillary Clinton is accusing Donald Trump of being trigger happy with nuclear weapons. Well, President Obama has just triggered the most serious confrontation with Russia since the Cuban missile crisis in order to win an election.
