Dem Debate Showdown
Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz has issued an edict that sells short the soul of the party of the people.
There will only be six presidential debates for Democrats in the 2016 cycle, and any candidate who participates in any others will be banned from the DNC debates. As recently as Wednesday, Wasserman Schultz, sounding like Vladimir Putin dictating to the Russian Politburo, declared that she will not budge on this.
Here is a proposal for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley and other Democratic candidates for the nation's highest office: You should join together to publicly state that if any respected organization wishes to hold additional debates, you will participate in defiance of the Putin-like commands from Washington.
What will happen if this showdown offer is extended is that media organizations and others will come forward with new debate proposals. Other Democratic candidates will accept. Wasserman Schultz will ban those candidates from the DNC debates. Hillary Clinton will be forced to choose between being the only candidate on stage in the DNC-sanctioned debates, which would make her and the DNC look ridiculous, or participating in the rogue debates, which she would almost certainly do.
There is a powerful national revolt, from the left and the right, against the crony insiderism of Washington-based politics and about whether the left or right will win the battle of ideas to define the future of populism.
There is a growing revolt among Democrats who believe that more debates, not fewer, serve the interests of the party. This revolt is being led by DNC Vice Chairmen Tulsi Gabbard and R.T. Rybak, and Democratic mega-donor and environmentalist Tom Steyer. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) also recently joined the chorus of Democrats calling for more debates.
The growing revolt from many liberals and Democrats reflects far larger and more profound issues for the nation and the Democratic Party.
There is a powerful national revolt, from the left and the right, against the crony insiderism of Washington-based politics and about whether the left or right will win the battle of ideas to define the future of populism.

There is an overpowering feeling from grassroots Democrats outside Washington that Democrats inside Washington — and Clinton is identified as one — have created a party of consultants rather than conscience, a party of revolving door insiders who want to defend the status quo rather the men and women who yearn to change America through authentic and dramatic reforms.
The debate about debates is really about whether Democrats are a party of ideas and principles who welcome debates and the enthusiasm they generate, or a party of insiders who want to rig the rules and fix the game in favor of insider candidates by stifling the voices of true progressivism, reform and change.
This great Democratic debate and the progressive revolt that has fueled the candidacy of Sanders and energized grassroots support on his behalf should be a gift to Democrats, no matter who is nominated, if this passion and sincerity is welcomed and embraced and not feared, silenced or held in contempt by party insiders.
Clinton supporters should join the revolt in favor of more debates and not fear it.
Clinton's army of consultants, staffers and courtiers may not understand this, but she would benefit from more debates. Progressives are not as stupid as these insiders believe. Clinton is not as weak as certain advisers think when they feed her with poll-tested and focus-grouped platitudes that neuter her voice while they maneuver to shield her from more debates.
The problems with the Clinton campaign — which are serious and real — are not related to the latest sexist and misogynist charge by Donald Trump that her voice is shrill. They are caused by her "friends" who would dilute her voice through fewer debates and leave her like a prize fighter who looks over-coached and out of shape as she enters the ring for the championship bout.
The popular revolt should succeed. More debates would benefit all Democrats.

The Lib Dem Lords have made some cracking contributions to the debate on the Article 50 Bill. Ahead of its next Lords stages, we're bringing you all the Lib Dem contributions over the course of this weekend. That's no mean feat. There were 32 of them and cover more than 30,000 words. You are not expected to read every single one of them as they appear. Nobody's going to be testing you or anything. However, they will be there to refer to in the future.
Our Lords excelled themselves. Their contributions were thoughtful, individual, well-researched and wide-ranging and it's right that we present them in full on this site to help the historian of the future.
Christine Humphreys talked about the impact of Brexit on Wales, on the loss of EU funding unlikely to be replaced by our low tax economy. She also challenged the government on their idea that we should all just line up behind them and meekly tug our forelocks as they choose our destiny for us, saying: "The first steps to unity can come from the Government accepting that voters have the right to be part of the decision-making process."
My Lords, although our country has voted, albeit by a comparatively small majority, to sever our links with the EU, many voters continue to voice genuine concerns and questions about the future—concerns which have been echoed eloquently by noble Lords—about the impact on our economy and on voters' living standards; the position of EU nationals working in our communities and paying their taxes to support our services; the position of UK nationals living and working in the EU; and how our departure will impact on Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Gibraltar.
Many are deeply concerned that our departure will precipitate the break-up of the EU itself and about the potential for new turmoil in a continent which has been ravaged by wars for hundreds of years but which has lived in comparative peace for the past 70. And, yes, they want to know exactly what a hard Brexit will mean, and they need clear answers to their questions and responses to their concerns.
There is certainly now a deeper understanding of the benefits that access to the single market has brought to the UK, and a more acute awareness of the loss that could await us when we depart the EU. The single market is, and has been, of great value to Wales—so much so that the majority of parties in the Welsh Assembly, while respecting the Welsh vote to leave the EU, have called for "full and unfettered" access to it. It is a market vital to our economy: 68% of Welsh exports go to the EU, as compared to just over 40% of the exports of the UK as a whole. Securing replacement markets is likely to be a slow and cumbersome process which could damage our economy—certainly in the short term. Those parties and the Welsh Assembly have also called for a "balanced approach" to immigration which would link migration to jobs and, crucially, they advocate the introduction of properly enforced employment practices that protect all workers.
I live in Conwy county in north Wales. Sitting at the edge of the Snowdonia National Park, it is a county blessed with the most beautiful scenery but, with a GDP per capita of 75% of the EU average, putting it on a par with Estonia and Lithuania, it has qualified for EU structural funds allocated to west Wales and the valleys since 2000. The present tranche of funding, running from 2014 to 2020, sees us benefiting from £1.9 billion of EU investment to support people into work and training, youth employment, research and innovation, renewable energy schemes and energy efficiency projects. In an area suffering rural and urban deprivation, these are essential building blocks in our attempt to grow our local economies. After my country's decision to leave the EU, however, there are no guarantees of funding from the UK Government to continue these projects. If we are to become a low-tax economy, how will any regional policy be funded?
Agriculture plays an absolutely crucial role in the economy, employing 58,000 people directly and outputting around £1.5 billion of produce. Agricultural funding under Pillar 1 of CAP will be upheld until 2020 but the future after that is unclear. Farmers need clarity on future funding and projects, and I would be grateful if that could be given today.
The potential impact of withdrawal from the EU on the Airbus factory in north-east Wales is also concerning. This site is run by a European consortium and assembles wings for civil aircraft—wings which are transported by road and sea to Toulouse for final assembly. It directly employs more than 6,000 people, and many others contribute to the supply chain and, of course, it relies heavily on the ability to move goods and people freely between its sites.
The analogy of the UK's withdrawal from the EU to buying a house has already been made elsewhere, and I make no apologies for using it here. Our country has taken the decision to move home. We have no idea of the cost of our new home; we are to be given no survey and no input into the final decision. We are moving, and we are all expected to accept the choice of home that will be made for us—not by us. In reality though, house buying has checks and balances throughout the process, opportunities to reflect, seek information and evaluate it, and to learn more about where we are going. We engage in decision-making throughout the process and make choices before signing an agreement.
We have to accept that we are a divided country, but a hard Brexit, delivered by a seemingly paternalistic Government, will do little to heal the divisions we all feel. We are told to accept the will of the people and unite behind the Government, but unity cannot be forced upon us. Like respect, it has to be nurtured and earned. The first steps to unity can come from the Government accepting that voters have the right to be part of the decision-making process. They have the right to reflect, learn more about their destination, re-evaluate their initial decision and either confirm or change it. On these Benches we believe that the British people must have the right to the final say on the deal negotiated by the Government. That right is fundamental to our beliefs, and it is one of the issues we will be pursuing at the later stages of this Bill.

A policy of open borders that also benefits America is a fantasy pushed by those who won't face truth about human nature. With lax security, promises of amnesty, threats of terrorism, drug cartel violence and open arms of a welfare state, what could go wrong? Co-author of our Constitution James Madison observed, "If men were angels, no government would be necessary." The same is true for a country's sovereignty and border security; they're not necessary if all illegal immigrants were angels.
Keep in mind, there was no welfare state burdening taxpayers in the early 1900s. No immigrants relaxing comfortably on a golden safety net. No dirty bombs, Islamic terrorism, drug cartel invasion or defiance to assimilate to American culture and language. Back then, strict controls prevailed. Open borders didn't mean unvetted immigrants; it meant all were welcome to qualify to be citizens. America vetted the heath and skill sets of all Ellis Island immigrants. For those who didn't qualify, it served to answer the question, how can we better protect American citizens and economy?
If an airplane loses pressure during a flight, we are taught to first put the oxygen mask over our own face so that we may better help those in greater need. A strong economy affords more capacity for charity not less. We must keep our own interests in mind, asking that same compassionate question: How can we better protect American citizens and economy? Reality may be harsh, but fantasies are often more dangerous. A root canal is painful, but an abscess can be far worse. Whenever we turn away from obvious truth and defy reality, we live a lie and risk stumbling into catastrophe.

What about dreams? To be achieved dreams must inspire us, not be our downfall. Dreams and truth are allies. For example, our Constitution is a dream, a bridge to what is possible. Dreams allow us to hold a goal in mind, steer toward a distant harbor through effort, expertise and "content of character." Fantasies bring disaster; their promises are unattainable because they are based on lies. Dreams keep our mind sane; fantasies make it sick.
Robert Frost's beautiful poem "Mending Wall" illustrates this dichotomy between fantasy and reality, between false narratives and real-world wisdom. The narrator begins idealistically, "Something there is that doesn't love a wall ..." He soon learns a lesson while helping his wise neighbor mend holes in a fence between them. The poet wonders: If we have no cows, why do we need a wall? We both have only trees on our land. Frost puts it this way:
TRENDING: The power of social MEdia
"He is all pine and I am apple orchard.
My apple trees will never get across
And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him.
He only says, 'Good fences make good neighbors.'"
The short answer to the poet's question– why have a wall – is that having none may invite preventable problems or calamity.
Advertisement - story continues below
Our Constitution has walls for the same reason, limits placed on government's power, which protect us from tyranny. The ocean has shores that prevent flooding. Our stomach has barriers to insulate our bloodstream from bacteria. Every blood vessel has walls that help deliver oxygen to cells. There are thousands more examples.
Here are three reasons good fences make good neighbors.
1. As a guest, it's neighborly to respect the property and laws of your host
Do you want to be a good guest? Honor your host. Bring them a gift if possible. Help them in some way without expectation of benefit. Tell them how much you appreciate them. Relational problems have one common denominator: lack of respect. Try saying please, thank you, you're welcome, Sir and Ma'am for one day. Try giving legitimate praise to a stranger. Watch their psychological walls come crashing down. If I get exceptional service at a restaurant, I sometimes look the server in the eye and say, "I appreciate your service. You are wonderful." The person's face often freezes in sincere appreciation.
This is why the American Revolution has made America so successful, why so many from other countries dream of being an American citizen. The Founding Fathers codified into law: respect of individual privacy, equal protection under the law, property rights, religious freedom, gun rights, freedom of speech, freedom of the press and many others.

2. Good fences prevent disputes
I was the manager of a Woolworth store in my 20s when the company was in the Dow 30. I learned that a clean, organized and well stocked store prevents shrinkage, the retail term for theft. The same is true for a country's border security. Well publicized cases of prosecution of voter fraud, deportations and crackdowns on illegal hiring practices goes a long way to prevent problems. Peace through strength is also an effective deterrent in averting domestic problems.
3. Good fences preserve a country's culture and religious ethos
Unvetted immigration is creating havoc in Europe. Why? It's not because of who is coming in but what is coming in, namely the ethos of some. Remedial classes actually exist to teach refugees that rape is wrong. Two ways to handle this problem: Allow unvetted immigrants in and create no-go areas (where police refuse to enter) to reduce violence or worse against citizens. Another option is to vet immigrants before they are allowed into your country. Take your pick. Fantasy or reality.

He's a struggling artist.
His dad bullied him and called him a failure.
His girlfriend stormed out on him.
The final nail in the coffin: he's lost his dog.
Daniel Crossan is standing outside of his home holding an axe, rubbing the edge of it with his thumb, and the first words we hear from him set the mood for the short film: "I think the secret to a long life is… wanting to die?"
An electronic jingle cuts in and the screen jumps to the Bleeding Art logo. Throughout the 18-minute short, the dichotomy of cheery editing and Daniel's brooding is persistent. Amid lessons on painting, Daniel recounts the disappearance of his dog Casper, his girlfriend Helen walking out on him, and the supposedly encouraging words his dad told him growing up.
We not only pity Daniel, we're also amused by the absurdity within his story. From a parodying rock song to unrealistic violence, Bleeding Art isn't afraid to make a laugh at its protagonist's expense.
"Now's the best time to tell you I'm leaving your mother and it's all your fault."
This viewer most enjoyed the camerawork of the film. Using a vlog format, Daniel begins each Bleeding Art episode seated in front of a camera and summarizing a topic. Once he enters his studio, the recording style changes, and we feel like we're watching an actual YouTube video.
As the trauma of losing Casper continually weighs on Daniel, the short becomes darker. Viewers who enjoy sardonic humor and a descent into madness would enjoy Bleeding Art, especially those who like innovative filming.

By the time I got to Woodstock it was already over. I went to my very first rock concerts in 1969, and some of the artists mentioned from the stage the incredible groovy far-out gas that was something called Woodstock. In October 1969 they booked this thing called a "Rock Jubilee" in Houston's Sam Houston Coliseum, featuring the Byrds, Poco, the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane. It was supposed to end around 6 p.m., but it went to about 10 and they finally yanked the plug on the Airplane. Before they did that, Grace Slick from the stage said about Woodstock: "It was a gas, man. Wish you could have been there."
Well. I was about 14 years old so I couldn't have gotten there on my own, anyway. Cut to 1970, just about one year later: I'm in 10th grade at Thomas Jefferson High School in Port Arthur, Texas. One day in September, Janis Joplin (TJ grad '60) visited the school with a few friends. They just decided to drop in just before the lunchtime bell. She had come back to Port Arthur for her 10th year class reunion, and she took the opportunity to visit and show her friends the place, and possibly to show the locals how famous she was.

She has a car.
1. What does she has?
2. What she has?
Which one is correct 1st or 2nd and why?
In the 1st sentence "has" is used as possession so do I need to use "does she have" because when "has" is used as auxiliary verb we use "have" instead of "has" when "does" is used with it?
virat1971do I need to use "does she have" because when "has" is used as auxiliary verb we use "have" instead of "has" when "does" is used with it?
You are partially correct. "has" is not an auxiliary verb in your examples; it's a lexical verb there. But you're on the right track about the use of auxiliary do. You need What does she have?
do, have, and be can be either auxiliary verbs or lexical verbs. They are auxiliary verbs when another verb follows.
Tom has a brother. 'has' is a lexical verb.
Tom has found some money. 'has' is an auxiliary verb.
My sisters do a lot of charity work. 'do' is a lexical verb.
My sisters do not like broccoli. 'do' is an auxiliary verb.
The winner was Joseph. 'was' is a lexical verb.
The winner was declared by the mayor. 'was' is an auxiliary verb.
After auxiliary do (do, does, did) you must use the plain form of the verb.
(The plain form is also called the dictionary form, the base form, the root form, the simple form, the uninflected form, and the infinitive without to. All of those terms mean the same thing.)
The default for all verbs in all types of sentences is do plus the plain form.
Affirmative: He does work every day.*> He works every day.
Interrogative: Does he work every day?
Negative: He doesn't work every day.
Negative interrogative: Doesn't he work every day?
In the past:
He did work every day.* > He worked every day. / Did he work every day?
He didn't work every day. / Didn't he work every day?
*But the affirmative form is different. Unless it's an emphatic affirmative, we move the inflection (s-ending; d-ending) from "does" or "did" to the main verb: He works every day. / He worked every day.
Note also that the verb be does not follow this paradigm. It does not take the auxiliary do (do, does, did).
He is late every day. / Is he late every day?
He isn't late every day. / Isn't he late every day?
He was late every day. / Was he late every day?
He wasn't late every day. / Wasn't he late every day?
So except for those with be, the only sentences in English that do not contain auxiliary verbs are non-emphatic present simple and past simple affirmative statements.
The same is true for modal verbs (can, could, will, would, shall, should, may, might, must), which are all also auxiliary verbs.
He can work every day. / Can he work every day?
He can't work every day. / Can't he work every day?
... and so on.
Modal verbs cannot take auxiliary do. For example, you cannot have
He does can work every day.
virat19711. What does she has?2. What she has?
Both are incorrect. There are three correct alternatives.
1. What does she have? (An infinitive is needed with do, does and did.)
2. What has she got? (This is mainly British English. The structure is quite strange grammatically because has got is perfect tense grammatically. It's very common in Britain, though.)
3. What has she? (This is correct, but rarely used nowadays.)
virat1971 Wh words
where, when, why, and how are all adverbial, so they don't need any special rules compared to yes/no questions.
Where did you go? / When do they study? /
Why does she say that? / How do they know that?
who and what take the positions of subjects or objects in sentences, so they can be a little trickier.
If they are subjects, they don't participate in subject-verb inversion:
Who went to London with you?
Who has a pen?
What causes all this confusion?
What happened to my coat?
Otherwise (when they are not subjects), an auxiliary verb is used and there is inversion:
Who did you go to London to see?
Who does she like the most?
What do they usually eat for dinner?
What does the professor say at the end of class?
In formal usage, non-subject who becomes whom in questions like these, but this is not at all common in normal, everyday conversation.

Pretty snowdrops. I can't believe anything is that green as far north as I know you are. The joys of the Pacific Southwest. That sounds so strange...is that how you describe your area in Canadian terms?ReplyDelete
Fifty-six first cousins? Wow. And I thought I was part of quite a group with 18. Guess not!

Each of my parents families, separately fled Russia because of religious persecution in the early 30's. That is so cool that you have a gift in languages. Ha! I am very familiar with La Cucaracha but not for the same reasons as you. I grew up in a Mexican American neighborhood in East Los Angeles and the Mexican culture and many songs are in my data base LOL! Blessings...
So nice to get to know you that much better! Were your ears burning this evening? I had dinner with a fellow blogger and your name came up in the nicest way.ReplyDelete
We'll have to meet for coffee and a bit of needlework soon!
Love your snowdrop collage, so fresh and clean looking.ReplyDelete
I enjoyed learning more about you, some things I already knew of course but cockroaches singing la cucaracha was a new one!?
Snowdrops are just the sweetest flowers - shy with bowed heads, beautifully cupped - exquisite in their simplicity.ReplyDelete

Lorrie you have had a very interesting life. I loved hearing about it. VReplyDelete
Wow, you have had an exciting life, very adventurous! What a beautiful mosaic, the flowers are so pretty!ReplyDelete
Have a great week!
I've never seen snowdrops before- they are so pretty! I'm not a gardener and need some pretties for our yard that had a major renovation last fall. You can see the new backyard here. These would look great toward the rear of the yard, I think. Thanks for stopping by again. :-) SueReplyDelete
You must have some wonderful stories to tell about your rich life experiences!ReplyDelete
Lovely shots of the snowdrops. It is nice to learn all about you. a fun post. Have a great week!ReplyDelete
How very lovely!!! So very delicate! Have a wonderful week!! CathyReplyDelete
You have a very interesting life, Lorrie. I wish I had the gift of learning different languages quickly.ReplyDelete
I love your snowdrop flowers..they look so delicate. It has been an unusually mild winter here in the NE so we might also see our blubed flowers poking out of the ground soon.
What pretty little flowers...and it was fun learning more about you. Have a great week, saw Melissa and the boys yesterday. Corban is missing his 2 bottom front teeth, and Keegan is one busy little boy! They are so sweet .ReplyDelete
Wow! what an interesting post! At first, I was captivated by your snowdrops, but then I read the rest of your post, and I think you have led a very interesting life to date.ReplyDelete
You always leave me such kind and lovely comments. Thanks for following my blog, even with my sub-par photog skills. I'm working on them a little at a time, by the trial-and-error method.
I always love these little tidbits and am so impressed you completed your second degree at 54. Students struggle after missing a year or two of school. To go back long after your first degree, with much time in between, is an accomplishment itself. Congrats!ReplyDelete
Your snowdrop flowers are calling me to visit my local nursery. They'd be perfect in our yard.ReplyDelete
Thank you for serving God in Ecuador. I imagine it was tough, but rewarding. What an adjustment you must have had moving back.
Thanks too for sharing your life story today as well as in your blog.
I can't imagine dark chocolate with sea salt...it doesn't sound very appealing. But then, I didn't fancy dark chocolate with chilli until I tried it - wonderfully mysterious and warming!!ReplyDelete
I love the snowdrops photo. They - and lily-of-the-valley - are my two favourite flowers.
Love the delicate snowdrops! AND it is fun to get to know you better. I wish I could learn to speak Italian...it's hard for me! How wonderful to speak other languages! ♥ReplyDelete
I've been working my way through a Lindt bar -- dark chocolate with sea salt -- mmmmm!ReplyDelete
What a fascinating life you've led -- married even younger than I was (21 for me), and so young to head off together to such a faraway place.
As I've mentioned here before, I think, I envy you that BA in French -- it's a life goal that got dropped along the way, for me, but perhaps after retirement . . .
Oh my. so are your Snowdrops already blooming? Mine will come the end of February, to mid March depending on the weather~ReplyDelete
I love the Snowdrops! I don't think I've ever seen them growing here in TX.ReplyDelete
I also love your list and am totally on board with the chocolate and sea salt!
Oh those snowdrops! Gorgeous!ReplyDelete
I loved learning more about you.
That is just the peaceful sight I needed today!
Thank you!
Hello Lorrie,ReplyDelete
Loved reading about you...you would be surprised about all the things we have in common.
What an interesting life! How lovely to get to know you better. Thanks to for sharing those gorgeous snowdrops. I'm sure it will be a few weeks yet, before we see any blooms here, so I will enjoy yours for now.ReplyDelete

text: An alternate practice was begun around a decade ago, and it too has been controversial. Instead of burning, the park service has been allowing tree-cutting to be done in some areas to remove the unhealthy trees. The buzz of chainsaws does not seem compatible with the general notion of "preserving" natural lands, but it may be a necessary evil. It led to an unexpected change for me as we visited the park last week.

Hi, Jeroen,
If you are interested, you might want to take a look at my "知了漢英詞典"
Chinese-English dictionary, currently available at:
This is an AJAX-based Chinese-English dictionary that I put together
-- It is actually still in a very unfinished state as I don't have
time to deal with it at the moment -- just one of many "works in
progress." Be sure to use Firefox or Opera or Safari -- My apologies,
but I have not yet done the work needed to get it working properly in
Internet Explorer.
You can basically type anything into the box and get a result back.
Hanzi (Kanji) of course. But you can also type in pinyin with or
without tone marks ("mao", "mao2", mao ze dong", etc.). Or try
bopomofo (there is a handy entry assistance table on the site as most
people don't have bopomofo keyboard layouts. Or try English (try
"net", "network", etc.).
But perhaps the most interesting of all is that you can also do lookup
by radical and stroke count just as you would with a traditional
Chinese dictionary: Clicking on the "部首输入表" button displays a table of
traditional and simplified radicals. Then you can click on a radical
in the table: click on the three-dot water radical "⺡" (水) for example
and now you can use the custom "spin widget" to increment/decrement
the number of strokes after the radical and see what the query result
set looks like. So "水0" of course just returns "水" (water), "水1"
returns "永" (forever), "水2" returns "汉" (Han Chinese) among others,
and so on. The radical+stroke count mapping to entries in the
database is actually still fairly small just because I haven't worked
on this much.
I would like to add additional systems of lookup. For example, it
would be nice to add the "four corner" method (四角號碼,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_corner_input) to my online
dictionary. (I have a Four Corner dictionary, but personally I rarely
find what I want using this method and usually revert to using
radical+stroke count. But I guess some people find it very easy to
use, and of course it was very widely used in the recent past).
I'm not sure if I would add Halpern's SKIP method or not -- I think he
expects royalty payment for use of his system, so it would only make
sense to do so if I ever turned this into a commercially-supported
site which it obviously is not at the moment. Still, the SKIP system
does appear to be quite nice for looking up Hanzi/Kanji.
If I do get a chance to add additional lookup methods, I will still
try to maintain the single text-entry box for the search term. This
does complicate the code on the back end, but results in a much
simpler "user interface" which I really prefer.

March 27, 2018 (The Bridgehead) – Earlier this month, Konrad Yakabuski over at the Globe and Mail shared some interesting insights on the cultural social conservatism of many new Canadians – an often-overlooked fact that explains quite a bit about recent political trends in this country:
Canada has accepted about five million new immigrants in the past 25 years and they have irreversibly changed our political dynamics.
Twenty-five years ago, Quebec's place within the Canadian federation was almost all we ever talked about. Today, the Quebec question has faded from the national agenda. All we seem to talk about now is diversity…
What our political elites have a hard time admitting, however, is that diversity is not a one-way street toward harmonious living – what the French call le vivre-ensemble – but a multilane expressway of competing and often colliding values, norms and ideas. Nowhere has this become as apparent as in the emergence of social conservatism as a political force in Canada.
This is something that the Trudeau Liberals are finding out the hard way. They were, to put it bluntly, stunned by the backlash they received over the "abortion attestation" they inserted into the application requirements for the Canada Summer Jobs Program, because left-wing politicians of every stripe have been trashing Canadian Christians with great gusto for over a decade with very little pushback. Only the overwhelming response to Ontario's sex-ed curriculum a couple of years back, which came primarily from new Canadians, indicated that perhaps it was not just conservative Catholics and Protestants who held social conservative values – and the Liberals have inadvertently forced many disparate communities into recognizing their own shared values by targeting them with the attestation. Yakabuski notes that these voters have already had a significant impact in Ontario politics recently:
Doug Ford's election as the leader of Ontario's Progressive Conservative Party would not have been possible without the mobilization of social conservatives. That a strident anti-abortion activist – Tanya Granic Allen – was even on the ballot was proof in itself that this is no longer your father's PC Party. That Ms. Granic Allen captured almost as much first-ballot support as the centrist Caroline Mulroney, and that her supporters propelled Mr. Ford over the top on the final ballot, was especially sweet for social conservatives.
The latter are now celebrating their new-found political clout – in dozens of languages. Immigration has swelled the ranks of Canada's social conservatives. Polls shows that Canadian-born voters are less religious than ever, even when they claim to belong to a particular faith. That is not true of immigrants, who often identify more with their religion than their country.
Immigrants have increasingly shaped our communities, our schools and our self-conception as a country. So, it was only a matter of time before they began shaping our politics, too. It is unlikely Ontarians would be debating the province's new sex-education curriculum at all if only Canadian-born voters were concerned. Resistance to the new curriculum has been strongest among immigrant parents. Some even pulled their kids out of school in protest.
Ground zero for the anti-sex-ed movement is Thorncliffe Park, in Toronto's inner suburbs, where 70 per cent of the population was born outside Canada and almost 60 per cent of residents speak neither English nor French at home. They're far more likely to speak Urdu, Farsi and Tagalog.
Pro-lifers have already discovered this to be true in door-knocking campaigns: New Canadians are very likely to be overwhelmingly pro-life, and many of them are genuinely upset to discover that Canada permits abortion on demand throughout all nine months of pregnancy. Additionally, many had not even given Canada's abortion regime a single thought when the Trudeau Liberals, in their ongoing zeal to force their abortion extremism on all Canadians, forced them to consider the issue in depth due to the Canada Summer Jobs "kerfuffle":
More than half a million Muslims immigrated to Canada in the 20 years to 2011, according to Statistics Canada's National Household Survey. The 2016 census showed that Canada accepted more than 150,000 immigrants from Pakistan, Iran, Iraq and Syria – all Muslim-majority countries – between 2011 and 2016. Tens of thousands more came from Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia and Egypt.
Almost 200,000 Filipino immigrants came to Canada in the five years to 2016, replenishing the pews of the country's Catholic churches. As with most Canadian Muslims, these Filipino newcomers take their faith ultraseriously.
A 2016 Environics poll showed Canadian Muslims voted overwhelmingly for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberals in 2015. But that was likely a result of the uproar surrounding Conservative attempts to ban the niqab at citizenship ceremonies and the party's pro-Israel foreign policy. The same poll found that, among Canadian Muslims, "religious identity and practice are important and growing, in contrast to the broader secularizing trend in Canada."
It is a testament to the homogenous nature of Liberal thought that they did not consider this before making their ill-advised move to essentially declare that groups that did not have the same views they did on abortion and other issues were "un-Canadian," and it will be very difficult for them to claw back the perception that has begun to spread through many religious communities – which is precisely why so many Liberal MPs, behind the scenes, are panicking over the feedback they are receiving. Many NDP MPs, I'm told, are also stressed that their party decided to back the Liberal "abortion attestation" due to the anger that it generated in the religious communities back home in their ridings.
Tell Justin Trudeau to stop banning funding to pro-life groups.Sign the petition here!
The irony of it all is that the Liberals, while trying to target the pro-life movement, have instead handed it an unprecedented gift, as Andrew Coyne pointed out yesterday in the National Post:
If you want to know how the Liberals managed to turn a 20-point lead in the polls into a five-point deficit in little more than a year, a good place to start is their apparently sincere belief that they could blackmail the country's churches into dropping their opposition to abortion…
No big deal, you understand: you can continue to hold whatever beliefs you like about abortion, the government told faith groups. You just have to sign a document pretending you don't.
So you can believe abortion should be outlawed, but if you want to receive government funds, you must affirm it is a right. Or, as the government later "clarified," that whatever "activities" you conduct will respect that right. Not surprisingly, the churches have been no more receptive to this updated opportunity to exchange their consciences for cash than they were the first.
And not only the churches. Amazingly, the primary effect of the government's ham-handed attempt to banish abortion opponents to the margin of Canadian society has been to give them the most sympathetic hearing they have have had in years, even from a media that leans overwhelmingly in favour of abortion rights.
They have had the chance to make the point that, in fact, there is no constitutional right to an abortion, whether in the text of the Charter or in the jurisprudence arising from it. The 1988 Morgentaler ruling, in particular, was concerned only with the law that was on the books at the time, not whether any abortion law would be constitutional. Indeed, several of the justices, notably Bertha Wilson, offered suggestions as to what sort of law would pass constitutional muster.
So, too, we have been reminded that the absence of an abortion law owes not to any decision by the House of Commons, but to a tie vote of the Senate, by which means Kim Campbell's abortion bill, though passed by the Commons, was allowed to die; that the resulting legal vacuum, far from the norm, makes Canada the outlier among democratic states; and that, notwithstanding the passage of 30 years, public opinion remains sharply divided on the question, with upwards of 60 per cent typically supporting limits of some kind.
Trudeau's Liberals have finally pushed too far, and while many MPs have realized this already, Trudeau and other high-ranking Grits have already proven themselves incapable of backing down and utterly unable to admit when they have made a mistake, no matter what the cost. What they have succeeded in doing in informing millions of Canadians what the status quo on abortion actually is – and alienated faith groups that were previously sympathetic to their government.

Speech Topics
FROM RESIGNATION TO RESILIENCE: Ignite Your Passion and Purpose
Recent events have caused your leaders and employees to question their lives and careers. You've lost many valuable people and the ones who haven't left are not as engaged as they used to be. They're contemplating what they want - and need - from their work and are ready to consider other opportunities.
We process our external world using our inner compass and inner dialogue. Unfortunately, many of us don't have as much clarity on our inner compass as we think, and we lack awareness of how much our inner dialogues are sabotaging our success. As a result, we're overwhelmed when faced with change, are less resilient to stress, lose confidence and direction, and are less engaged.
Research shows that people who are purposeful in their jobs perform better, are more likely to avoid burnout, and are more committed.
And using inner dialogue to create purposeful stories drives engagement, passion, and success.
Not only will your people experience the game-changing discovery of their current purpose, but the rich group dialogue that takes place will also form a deep sense of connection, understanding, and unity.
The global pandemic has hit women particularly hard.
42% of professional women report they're burned out.
1 in 3 say they've considered downshifting their careers or leaving the workforce completely.
They're overworked, overwhelmed, overstressed and feeling OVER IT.
Research proves that companies with more female executives are more likely to outperform companies that don't. You must support, retain and attract talented women in order to develop a culture that enables men and women alike to achieve their potential, employing the power of a diverse, collective genius.
Resiliency Rx: Stress-Proof Your Brain
You've actually got two brains: primitive and advanced. Your primitive brain controls how you act and feel, while your advanced brain handles conscious thought, self-discipline, and sense of purpose.
Unfortunately, evolution has left your primitive brain as your default setting and your extremely busy, conflicted modern world causes it STRESS way beyond what it can handle without intentional intervention.
And stress radically changes your chemistry and physiology.
The good news? The right strategies can combat the negative consequences that we all face.
Jenny shines light on the connection between the daily grind of life and the chemistry of the brain and body. She brilliantly reveals how to truly build resilience to stress, and at the same time, how to optimize your purpose and environment.
Jenny has developed a comprehensive, yet achievable set of micro-strategies that any individual or workforce can implement. It's a philosophy to restore the brain and body's chemistry to become more resilient. Even better… it's so easy a primitive caveman (brain) could do it!
For people who:
- Want to continue to take themselves – and their work – to the next level, in a way that's easy, achievable and sustainable
- Want to feel better! More energized, grounded, on purpose, creative, happy, and healthy
- Want to expand their capacity for what their careers will increasingly demand of them year over year
- Are stressed and want effective solutions that are easy to implement
The audience will leave with:
- The answer to the ONE question that guarantees clarity, direction, commitment, prioritization and accountability both inside and outside of work
- The 7 areas of your life that Resiliency Rx can enhance
- Ways to leverage over 100 tools to successfully implement change and the secret to making these changes permanent
- A series of "Micro Strategies" for quickly and easily stress-proofing their brain
- The knowledge to self-restore the chemistry of their brain, body, and mindset in less than 60 seconds
- An optional Resiliency Assessment to garner accurate insight into how they're currently dealing with stress with a customized report on where they can make improvements
- Three specific commitments that make up their customized action plan

With only the last round of matches remaining in the English Premier League (EPL), three things are certain. First and foremost, Liverpool have won the title. Secondly Norwich will not be in the top flight next season. And thirdly, Manchester City will join the Reds in the Champions League (CL) next season.
That leaves two relegation spots and two UEFA Champions League (CL) spots are wide open. On Sunday, when Manchester United, Chelsea and Leicester City will fight for the two CL spots, only one among Bournemouth, Watford and Aston Villa will remain in the English top tier in the coming season. Then there is the UEFA Europa League qualification spot which is also up for grabs.
3 way battle for 2 CL spotsAfter 37 games, Manchester United and Chelsea have 63 points each with the Red Devils taking third spot courtesy of better goal difference. Ole Gunnar Solskjær's side have scored 15 goals more than that of Frank Lampard's Blues. Meanwhile, Brendan Rodgers's Leicester are in 5th spot with 62 points.
Now comes the tricky part. In the last round, Manchester United will travel to Leicester City while Chelsea will welcome Europa League contenders Wolverhampton Wanderers to Stamford Bridge. A draw will be enough for both Manchester United and Chelsea to secure the two remaining Champions League spots. But a draw will not be ideal for Leicester.
There might be some hope for the Foxes even if they share the spoils with Manchester United. If Chelsea fail to take any points against the Wolves on Sunday, Leicester could leapfrog Chelsea for the 4th spot thanks to better goal difference.
If Leicester and Chelsea win, Manchester United will have to content with Europa League for yet another season. The Foxes have the same goal difference as the Red Devils. If Leicester win and Chelsea and Wolves share points, Ole Gunnar Solskjær's side will play Europa League next season as well.
If all three secure one point each from their last fixture, both Manchester and Chelsea will finish in 3rd and 4th spots respectively.
Europa League title will ensure CL spotBoth Manchester United and Wolves remain in contention for the Europa League title. Should either of them win it and finish outside the top four in Premier League, next season's Champions League will feature 5 English clubs.
Europa League qualificationThe 6th place team qualifies for Europa League qualifier round. Wolves, who are 6th in the table, are looking over their shoulders at Tottenham Hotspur who are only one point behind and one spot below. Jose Mourinho's side will travel to 14th placed Crystal Palace for their last match. Nuno Espírito Santo must be worried about Spurs defeating Crystal Palace. Roy Hodgson's side have ensured Premier League status for another season and have nothing else to play for.
Chelsea will be a tough nut for Wolves to crack than Palace for Spurs. Tottenham Hotspur can play Europa League next season if they better Wolves' result on the last matchday. But if Wolves secure a better result than Spurs, they will enjoy European football next season.
The FA Cup route to Eurpoa LeagueChelsea will face rivals Arsenal in the FA cup final, which is most likely the only piece of silverware that either team can win this season. If the Blues win it, then the 7th place team in the Premier League will enter Europa League qualification round.
If Arsenal lift the FA cup, they would qualify for the Europa league at the expense of the 7th place team in the league, which at the moment is their bitter rivals Spurs. The Gunners would love such a scenario and it is their only hope of European football next season. Mikel Arteta's side is in 10th spot and can only finish 8th at best this season.
Battle at the bottom
The battle for survival is between Aston Villa (17th on 34 points), Watford (18th on 34 points) and Bournemouth (19th on 31 points). Villa are ahead of Watford on a goal difference of just one. Only one will remain in the Premier League next season. All three teams have away fixtures. Villa will face West Ham United. Watford will go to Arsenal while Bournemouth will visit Everton.
It's a must win game for all three. As things stand, Aston Villa has the better chance of survival while Bournemouth is most likely to join Norwich in the championship next season.
If Aston Villa and Watford win, Villa will need the same or better goal difference than Hornets in the last match of their season. If Aston Villa and West Ham share points, Watford will have a chance to play in the Premier League next season by defeating Arsenal. A draw will be enough for the Hornets to retain their Premier League status if the Hammers defeat Villa.
Only a victory against Everton, coupled with both Villa and Watford losing their last matches, would ensure survival for Bournemouth. It will go down to the last whistle.

I got your email earlier, and I'm looking…
yukonalMemberDecember 8, 2014 at 5:33 am1 Bullseye
You'll need both the lever AND the spring, which allows the lever to rock back and forth.
If all else fails, I think I have one. See what Robert comes up with.
ColikeMemberDecember 8, 2014 at 9:51 pm1 Bullseye
Thanks… can't believe it falls out so easily… and is so hard to find!!!
ColikeMemberDecember 9, 2014 at 9:22 pm1 Bullseye
Interestingly, I found a German source for the bolt stop… Roedale Precision. It only costs 25 euros ($31) for the part and 40 euors ($50) shipping. Yeesh!
yukonalMemberDecember 9, 2014 at 11:36 pm1 Bullseye
The part I have is from Brownells, and I paid about $68 plus shipping.

This might be your best bet.

This doesn't seem to be a hard item to mill, would your gunsmith or a machinist friend be able to reproduce one if you had the dimensions? The tolerances should not be critical if you are ok with non production parts.
I could press mine in wax or something if you needed the basic dimentions.
Otherwise Rodale seems to be a good source.
ColikeMemberDecember 17, 2014 at 5:26 am1 Bullseye
Thanks for the offer, really appreciate it. I don't know any machinests, but may get back to you. Robert says he plans to make a run of these in February an sell them on this site, so I'll wait for him and start on my Mauser 300 Win Mag project in the meantime. Will contact you if he abandons the bolt stop project.
Ericbc7MemberDecember 17, 2014 at 8:01 am21 Bullseyes
If Robert from here says will do then all good

Brownells has them on their site right now. I just bought a kit a week ago.

Teachers of the Future in Digital Learning Environments
The iPad-education, or tablet education generally, is perhaps the most talked-about phenomenon in education at the moment. However, there are still only a few concrete researches on how the iPad is used in pre-service teacher training generally to re-new learning processes and environments in primary school environments. This article focuses on pre-service teachers´ manners of approach to use iPads in the beginning of Primary School Teacher studies in January 2015 in Adult Teacher Education in Kokkola University Consortium Chydenius. The first inquiry of the research project was carried out in January 2014 when the students had just received their personal iPads for their use. This article presents the results from the inquiry that was carried out in December 2015. The study results will indicate the starting level of students as both producers and consumers of information, from the point of view of iPad users. The project contains a three-stage research process, which monitors how the use of tablet computers in the contextual-pedagogical learning environments supports teaching and learning in the context of producing and consuming of technology.

EL CAJON, Calif. (KGTV) - Surveillance video has recently captured multiple incidents of what appears to be a thief returning over and over to prey upon elderly residents of the Salvation Army apartment building in El Cajon.
Apartment staff at the building on South Anza Street say there have been at least five robberies between October and Christmas Eve. Each appears to include the same thief.
"He's the lowest form of life in my book," building superintendent Alex Harmon told 10News. "To prey on the elderly. They've got walkers for crying out loud."
In one incident captured on video, the man approached a 97-year-old woman taking a walk on the sidewalk outside the building. He was seen opening her bag, which was placed on her walker, then removing an item and walking away.
The woman later told building staff that he had struck up a conversation about her walker and that she had offered him candy. She says he opened her bag and instead of taking candy, stole her wallet.
In a separate incident, the suspected thief and what appears to be a lookout are seen carefully observing an elderly woman walking by. One man then turned and followed her around the corner. She told 10News that's when he raced up and grabbed her gold necklace, breaking off her gold cross, and running off.
Multiple police reports have been filed with El Cajon Police Department, which is investigating.

About the Book
Title: DISENCHANTED

Author: Brianna Sugalski
Publisher: Fenfoss Tavern Publishing LLC
Release Date: December 16, 2022
Genre: Adult/New Adult Dark Fantasy Romance
Links: Goodreads | Amazon | Amazon UK | Amazon CA | Amazon AU | Amazon DE | Amazon IT | Amazon FR
At the peak of the Breton Renaissance, Lilac Trécesson is held prisoner in her own castle after a most wicked secret is revealed on the eve of her fifteenth birthday. Her coronation looms years later, and between their town riots and the noble family bent on snatching her throne, she prepares for the worst…
Until a letter arrives from The Witch of Lupine Grotto, detailing a curious offer to banish her curse forever.
Her heirloom dagger at the ready, Lilac embarks into Brocéliande and finds herself in the hands of a bloodthirsty barkeep who demands her help in exchange for protection against the even deadlier forces of the woods.
She is thrust on a quest to uphold her family's legacy—and her sovereign right to destroy it and start anew—by any means necessary. Pity the fool to underestimate the girl with subpar blade skills but pure spite to make up for it.
This is the tale of a cursed princess,
A crestfallen killer,
The town that wants them to burn,
And the witch who can save them both.
About the Author
Southeast Asian fantasy author with a soup addiction. Diverse medievalist and developmental editor who lives in oversized sweaters, and prefers to explore the more ominous—disenchanting, if you will—undertones of history, romance, and the arcane.
My debut, Breton Arthuriana-inspired YA Dark Fantasy DISENCHANTED, released with the Parliament Press in March 2020, and is being re-released and rebranded for the New Adult/ Adult indie market in December 2022. The rest of the trilogy will follow this updated genre rating.

We welcomed our son, Liam, the following spring and we were so in love with our little family. Parenthood suited us.

We knew we always wanted two children, with hopes of having a boy and a girl. Two seemed like a manageable and practical number for us. There were two of us so we could handle them individually , and I have a pair of hands—one for each child to hold. Heck, even carnival rides came in pairs. So, when we welcomed our daughter Emilia, two years later, we felt blessed.

However, I did not feel like our family was complete.

This was odd considering that we had always discussed having two children, and we were very fortunate to have a boy and a girl. What more was there to want?

But a voice inside sparked an internal debate regarding a third child and I couldn't shake it. I struggled with this internal dialogue for months going over every pro and con that a new addition would bring.

When Emilia was roughly 15 months old, I expressed this desire to my husband. Admittedly, he said that his heart felt full with our two children but he enjoyed the idea of a third. However, he truly had no desire to regress back to the newborn days.

Honestly, I couldn't blame him. While precious, those early days are rough.. They are filled with sleepless nights and sharing my body for nine months, plus additional time for another round of breastfeeding.

At this point, we were spoiled in parent terms. We were just about out of the diaper phase, both children were consistently sleeping through the night, traveling (even to the grocery store) was a breeze, and financially we were stable.

Even with so much logic urging me to stick with two kids, I could not manage to get the idea of a third out of my head.

I turned to friends and family for opinions and first-hand experience on the topic hoping it would definitively sway me one way or the other. My husband's grandmother, having raised five children herself, offered that with each additional child, things get easier. And after the second, it makes no difference how many you have. While on the other hand, a dear friend and mom of three, offered that a third will either 'make or break us'. Yikes! I wasn't sure which side of the fence we would fall on.

It wasn't until I heard some words of wisdom from my mother that I found peace. She reminded me that bringing home another baby will be filled with sleepless nights followed by early mornings caring for the older two. That the mess and noise will be amplified times three and I will feel like pulling my hair out. And that there will be days where I feel like everything is a juggling act instead of a well-balanced life.

And just when I thought I had made up my mind, she shared this: she regretted not having a third baby.

My mother explained that she and my father just could not see past the early days with me and my brother. It was draining, mentally and physically, and she felt like another child would break her.

With a tear in her eye, she went on to say, "But no one told me how beautiful the bigger picture is."

That's when it dawned on me. We were only looking at our family on a micro-level, grumbling about the day-to-day tantrums, messes and lack of sleep.

I closed my eyes and saw us 10 years out. I saw family vacations hiking through the redwoods and surfing at the beach. I saw a full house with lots of different experiences being shared around the kitchen table. I saw us as a family of five. And I felt at peace for the first time.

In May, we welcomed our third child, Isla Elena.

What seemed so difficult the first two times around felt like second nature with our third.

But, this is parenthood. What we originally deem difficult eventually fades, making way for the next phase. And in our tenure as parents, I am certain that there will be many, many new challenges as our children grow.

My husband and I now greet these difficult times with the mantra, "This too shall pass." The difficult times are so temporary and pass as quickly as they come, so why not enjoy the ride?

Isla has been in our lives for almost three months now. There are still days where I feel like I'm hanging on by a thread and wonder if I am equipped to be a mother to three, but then I remember those words of wisdom from my mother.

Those words keep me going through the sleep depravity and waves of tantrums, and remind me that I am laying the groundwork for what is to come.

Looking to the future as a family of five and all the adventures we will share warms my heart. And in the meantime, I choose to enjoy these early days no matter how messy and sleepless they may be. I know, together, we will figure it all out as we go.

Freakin awesome!! Is the increased height an issue?
I was pondering trying to get cnc copper replicas made of the oem spreader. I have a spare lid I can send off.
What cpus are those from? Did you have to shorten or modify them at all? I see you sanded them to the copper on top and bottom perimeter.
Btw idk if you saw my report about recent cpus I've modded but I keep getting failed super pi runs on multiple systems. I can't figure out why. But the cpus are stable in everything else. What's particularly interesting is that it is happening on my OEM 550 3+. So I'm convinced the cpus aren't at fault. I'm still unclear what the issue is though. Maybe software, maybe other hardware. Unsure. But it's on multiple systems.
Re: SUCCESSFUL K6-2+ to K6-3+ Full Cache Enable Mod I added this to the k6 mod guide btw 😀
The height could be a problem. It depends on the cooler you own. G3virus encountered some problems, the he switched cooler, and that cooler fitted just fine.
About the cpus. We scrapped a socket fm1 amd a6 dual core apu, and a 754 sempron cpu. The heatspreader on those cpu:s are identical.
Our K6-2+ cpus modded to k6-3+ halted at the boot screen with l2 cache error codes. So it was a no go.
Still they run 100% stable at 672mhz! ( 112x6 ).
The sad thing is that my k6-3+ at 616mhz is faster then those cpus. That extra 128kb l2 cache makes all the difference.
