Still afloat, but at risk: Storm surge flooding caused by Hurricane Isabel in Maryland. Image: Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons
The US state of Maryland is proposing a fossil fuel tax to pay for pre-school education and to promote electric cars.
Maryland, an eastern US state badly hit by climate change, wants to introduce a fossil fuel tax on polluting industries and gas-guzzling cars in order to fund improvements to its education system worth $350 million (£271m) a year.
The Climate Crisis and Education Bill is currently being considered by the Maryland General Assembly's 2020 session. With a strong Democrat majority in both upper and lower houses of the state's legislature, it could soon become law – even though the ideas behind it are extremely radical by US standards.
The bill would establish a Climate Crisis Council to develop an energy policy that reduces statewide greenhouse gas emissions by 70% by 2030, and 100% by 2040 – and trusts in achieving net negative emissions after that, using 2006 as a baseline.
Related Content
There has been widespread concern in Maryland about falling education standards compared with other states, and an inquiry, the Kirwan Commission, has called for $350m a year to be invested in improvements.
These include extra funding for teacher salaries, additional counselling and career preparation, stronger health programmes, and money for pre-school activities.
"We have a climate crisis. It's not a concern, it's a crisis, and we must begin to address it, and that's exactly what this legislation does"
The bill would introduce a gradually escalating fossil fuel fee, starting at $15 a ton for non-transport sources and $10 a ton for vehicles.
There would also be a graduated registration fee on new cars and light trucks that are gas guzzlers, revenues from which would be used to provide rebates to electric vehicle (EV) purchasers and to pay for the installation of statewide EV charging points.
Related Content
Maryland has suffered more than most of the US from climate change and is severely threatened by sea level rise on the shores of Chesapeake Bay. Some small towns are already losing the battle against the sea.
The frequency of street flooding in the state capital, Annapolis, and larger cities like Baltimore has increased about ten-fold since the early 1960s.
Salt feeds concerns
Salinisation of farmland on the Eastern Shore is also a concern, as the salt water has begun intruding into the water table. Across the state the frequency of extreme weather events continues to increase, including events like flash flooding, heavy thunderstorms, extreme heat and droughts.
Delegate David Fraser-Hidalgo, the leading General Assembly supporter of the bill, said the state's taxpayers had already been paying for damage caused by the climate crisis: "In the 2019 session, we passed an emergency appropriation in the General Assembly for one million dollars to mitigate flooding in Annapolis.
"That's just one city in the entire state − one million dollars. Why should the taxpayers pay for that when fossil fuel companies make $400 million a day in profits?"
Emphasising the urgency of the situation and the need for immediate action, the bill's Senate sponsor, Senator Benjamin F. Kramer, said: "We have a climate crisis. It's not a concern, it's a crisis, and we must begin to address it, and that's exactly what this legislation does.
"And the legislation is a win, win, win. It's a win for our health, it's a win for the environment, and it's a win for education."
Support detected
Both men are conscious that despite the concern of Democrats about the climate crisis, and the fact that the party has a large overall majority, their bill is radical and may meet some resistance. However, recent polling suggests that the public supports action on the crisis.
Related Content
The bill is also up against legislators who favour other ways of paying for the education reforms, including taxes on gambling, alcohol and digital commerce.
In order to allay fears about new taxes on fossil fuels the provisions of the bill insist that the carbon taxes protect low- and moderate-income households, as well as "energy-intensive, trade-exposed businesses", and help fossil fuel workers who may lose their jobs to find new ones in the clean economy.
There are also clauses that specifically prevent the fossil fuel companies from passing the cost of carbon taxes on to Maryland consumers. − Climate News Network

One hundred techniques and practices are described here—some are well known; some you may have never heard of.

Designing Climate Solutions: A Policy Guide for Low-Carbon Energy
by Hal Harvey, Robbie Orvis, Jeffrey Rissman
With the effects of climate change already upon us, the need to cut global greenhouse gas emissions is nothing less than urgent. It's a daunting challenge, but the technologies and strategies to meet it exist today. A small set of energy policies, designed and implemented well, can put us on the path to a low carbon future. Energy systems are large and complex, so energy policy must be focused and cost-effective. One-size-fits-all approaches simply won't get the job done. Policymakers need a clear, comprehensive resource that outlines the energy policies that will have the biggest impact on our climate future, and describes how to design these policies well.

This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate
by Naomi Klein
In This Changes Everything Naomi Klein argues that climate change isn't just another issue to be neatly filed between taxes and health care. It's an alarm that calls us to fix an economic system that is already failing us in many ways. Klein meticulously builds the case for how massively reducing our greenhouse emissions is our best chance to simultaneously reduce gaping inequalities, re-imagine our broken democracies, and rebuild our gutted local economies. She exposes the ideological desperation of the climate-change deniers, the messianic delusions of the would-be geoengineers, and the tragic defeatism of too many mainstream green initiatives. And she demonstrates precisely why the market has not—and cannot—fix the climate crisis but will instead make things worse, with ever more extreme and ecologically damaging extraction methods, accompanied by rampant disaster capitalism.

If you're looking to try to catch 'em all in Pokemon GO, you're going to need to make sure that you're prepared. You'll need to get your hands on as many Pokeballs, Great Balls and Ultra Balls as possible before the event comes to life on June 4th, and you've come to the right place.
Follow along with our guide to start getting your hands on as many items as possible before the biggest Pokemon GO event of the year comes alive, and let's get ready to fill our item bags up as much as possible to be as ready as we can!
Getting Pokeballs In Pokemon GO Easily
Visit PokeStops
If you're out and about, you'll be sure to find plenty of PokeStops in your area. These cost no money to use, and all you'll need to do is select their icon and give them a quick swipe to start earning items, more often than not, standard Pokeballs. You'll be able to revisit these spots after 5 to 10 minutes of real-world time, so you'll be able to stay in one central location and farm for items if you're surrounded by many different PokeStops. This can help fill your item bag quickly, so if you run out of space, you may need to invest in some Pokecoins to start expanding your item storage limit.
Get An Auto Catcher Or Pokemon GO Plus
If you're looking to farm for items as much as possible, using one of these two items can help you and your phone's battery out tremendously. If you were to invest in a Pokemon GO Plus, for example, you'll receive different notifications to let you know if you are near a Pokemon or PokeStop, allowing you to try to catch them or spin the stop without even needing to open up your phone. An auto catcher, on the other hand, will do these tasks for you. You'll be able to set your auto catcher up with your device, and it will spin PokeStops for you, and you can even select to have the capture option, so you can save up as many as you may need. You can still even hit PokeStops as you are driving past them, without having to look at your screen.
Clean Out And Upgrade Your Item Pouch
If you're an avid Pokemon GO player that just wants to catch 'em all without taking part in battles, you may find your item bag filled to the brim with different items that have no use to you, such as potions, revives, and more. If you don't have a use for these items, they may be taking up valuable storage space, so all you'll need to do is get rid of them. Thankfully, that is quite easy, as all you'll need to do is go into your items, press the trash can icon to the right, and dispose of as many or as few as you would like. After this, you should have quite a few spots opened up so you'll be ready to get more Pokeballs!
Send and Receive Gifts with Friends
If you have friends that are playing Pokemon GO, sending each other gifts can help you get your hands on some great items, including Pokeballs, Stardust, stickers, and more. Even if you don't have an active Pokemon GO fanbase in your local area, visiting subreddits such as r/PokemonGoFriends can allow you to meet new fans of the games, and set up raids, exchange gifts, and anything else you can imagine. You'll be able to get your hands on quite a few items quickly by doing this, and you'll make some new friends so you can experience the game in all its glory.
These are some great ways to make sure that you're as ready as possible for Pokemon GO Fest, so make sure that you're prepared in real life, as well. If you're looking to get your hands on some shiny Pokemon, you'll be able to find out who to find as you are out and about in the world. If you need to add another legendary Pokemon to your Pokedex, you may need to find a way to get across the world quickly to partake in the activities in Berlin, so make sure you're getting everything ready that you need before embarking on this one of a kind adventure!
Pokemon GO is available now on mobile devices.

Integrated approach delivers results which exceed client expectationsRoyal HaskoningDHV was contracted to design the facility and oversee construction, ensuring LEED requirements were integrated into the design, procurement and construction.
"LEED certification relies on strategies used across many elements of the design and construction, which is why an integrated approach is so important," explains Royal HaskoningDHV Green Building Specialist Luong Vang Le. "The success of this approach enabled us to deliver over and above our client's expectations, achieving sufficient points for LEED Gold certification. It is the first multi-customer distribution facility in Vietnam to be certified at this level."
Opex savings from reduced energy and water consumptionThe design measures support our client's sustainability goals while reducing operational costs. Energy savings of more than 35% are expected, together with a 45% reduction in water consumption. During construction, waste was collected in five material streams enabling more than 80% to be recycled.
"FM Logistic is recognised as one of the highest quality services providers in the logistic market. And this comes with very high standards" adds Gregory Luciani, Project Manager, Royal HaskoningDHV. "The insurance, quality, and environment requirements our team has integrated into the design, are some of the most stringent of the industry.

The ICO has launched a consultation on its international data transfer agreement (IDTA). This is the agreement that would be used as a safeguarding mechanism for restricted transfers of data covered by the UK GDPR.
As part of the consultation, it has also released:
- a draft transfer risk assessment toolkit for use in conjunction with the IDTA, and which must be completed in order to ensure that the IDTA works as intended in the country where the importer of the data is located.
- a draft addendum, which is designed to enable parties which are relying on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) to govern a restricted transfer to add an addendum to those EU SCCs so that they also cover restricted transfers made under UK GDPR. This will be useful, for example, when intra group data transfer agreements are put in place involving personal data which is subject to EU GDPR and also personal data which is subject to UK GDPR.
The consultation closes on 7 October 2021, and changes will no doubt be made to the documents following the outcome and responses to the consultation. Nevertheless, the consultation provides a useful heads up of the issues that will be faced by parties who wish to transfer personal data under UK GDPR.

Settlements, Historic, Archaeology, Interesting Places
Aizanoi (Ancient Greek: Αἰζανοί), Latinized as Aezani was an Ancient Greek city in western Anatolia. Located in what is now Çavdarhisar, Kütahya Province, its ruins are situated astride the River Penkalas, some 1,000 m (3,300 ft) above sea level. The city was an important political and economic centre in Roman times; surviving remains from the period include a well-preserved Temple of Zeus, unusual combined theatre-stadium complex, and macellum inscribed with the Price Edict of Diocletian. The city fell into decline in Late Antiquity. Later serving as a citadel, in 2012 the site was submitted for inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Quick Access
Year 4 Spanish
Year have Spanish once a fortnight. We will continue to study Spanish phonics in year 4 to help with reading and pronouncing Spanish really well.
Autumn term 2021
We are remembering the questions we learnt in year 3 to introduce ourselves.
What's your name? How are you feeling?
¿Cómo te llamas? ¿Cómo estás?
We are learning how to say our age this term.
Year 4 are learning numbers 11-20. We have completed sums in Spanish, what a challenge!
In normal times. we start each lesson actively by learning the hula. Watch the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_Clwq4osEQ
We are moving on to learning the months of the year ready to put into a sentence to say our birthday.
We will ask "When is your birthday?" and answer in a full sentence. We may even be able to say someone else's birthday. We will sing "Happy Birthday" in Spanish. Join in here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oT3Qgt3QjJ4
In 2021, we finished the autumn term by creating a birthday cake. We wrote our age and birthday. Most children managed a full sentence for each. Here is their work:
Spring Term 2022
We are learning 9 animal nouns so that we can talk about the pets we have (or don't have). We are discovering how a Spanish bi-lingual dictionary works and enjoyed looking up animals in the dictionary.
Nouns in Spanish are masculine or feminine and we are learning about this grammatical idea. Do we need to say "un" or "una"?
We are using animal nouns in a question to ask "Do you have...?" and in answers to say "I have..." or "I don't have..."
We are learning to say that we have "two cats" for example. So we are finding out about plural rules in Spanish.
We are remembering colour adjectives that we learned in year 3, so that we can try describing the colour of an animal.
We are working towards making a mini-book that we will share at home at the end of term. Our books are all in Spanish with fantastic artwork! Photos will be displayed on the website.
We mustn't forget whether they are masculine or feminine in Spanish!
Here are pictures of our lovely mini-books about animals with lots of colour descriptions!
Summer term 2022
We are completing a unit on Spanish geography and finding out about places in major cities. We are learning nouns for places in town, and adjectives to describe them. We are remembering to place the adjective after the noun in our Spanish sentences, instead of before it as in English.
We will write a short text to describe a town in Spain - it could be Madrid, Barcelona, Santander, Valencia, La Coruña or Sevilla. It will say in Spanish: "In my town there is...". We will make a triarama, which turns into a triangle stand up town. Here are photos of children's work from 2022 - well done on some fantastic sentences Year 4!:
Spring term 2020
We are learning shapes in Spanish in the spring term and focus on masculine and feminine nouns. We can describe the colour of each shape and remember that in Spanish, the adjective goes after the noun: un/una + shape + colour.
We are learning prepositions ready to understand descriptions of paintings. We will play Simon Says in Spanish and act out: up, down, left, right, in the centre - arriba, abajo, a la izquierda, a la derecha, en el centro. We should create a shape picture by following Spanish instructions.
We are finding out about a Spanish artist and will read an extended Spanish description in order to recreate a painting by Joan Miró. How accurate will the results be this year? The original sold for £23 million a few years ago! How much could our work be worth? What do you think of the children's efforts below?
Spring Term 2 2020
We are finding out about the artist Salvador Dali. There will be an art gallery in the classroom, and a discussion of his work. We will write a fact file about him in Spanish.
We will learn about techniques in Spanish to use with colouring pencils. We will create bright, colourful butterflies. Here are some examples of our work in 2019:
We will use different sketching techniques to create a background image for a birthday card. We will say the techniques in Spanish. We will add our butterfly for a surreal effect. We will write our cards in Spanish. Here are some examples from year 4 in 2020, completed hurriedly before the schools were closed early. A valient effort by the children!:
In 2019 we found out about a traditional Easter cake from Spain. We worked out what ingredients are needed and how to make the cake. Then we were able to watch the video of the cake being made and understand how it is made. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SlE7uIYftQ

PREP for the assessment:
First, set up your recording/monitoring equipment and test it
- Remove any stuffed food toys from the environment
- Leave water for them as usual
- Set your dog up in the most natural way - crated, confined, or loose in the home
RUN the assessment
Leave in the most natural way possible, locking the door behind you. Wherever you go, ensure that you can get back to your dog within 30-60 seconds if things go haywire! Don't drive away or take an elevator ride.
You may run up to three or four assessments over a couple of days to assess how your dog does in their crate, confined behind a pen or gate, in a puppy-proofed room, and loose in the home. Most people know where their dog fares best and simply run one assessment. That's usually all the data we need. Don't run any unnecessary assessments; if your dog doesn't do well in a crate, don't bother assessing there, for example.
Wherever your dog fares best is what you'll be choosing for your final destination.

Part one of the story can be found here….
I got the foam and cut it up to fit the top…I wish I had wider foam so that I could do it in one piece, but I work with what I have…
It would be better to use one piece verses cut up pieces. If you do have to piece the foam you should top it with a layer of dacron to make it smooth. I used the batting that I got for my Moroccan Wedding blanket and doubled it.
Remember that each layer should be glued down with spray adhesive so it does not slip.
Now I had to cover my button. I used the Dritz half ball cover button in the 2 1/2″ size. The top of it is rounded and it said no tools required.
Since this is going to be sat on I covered it with a little foam to make it a bit more soft and then I cut the top edge to bevel it a bit.
The fabric I used to cover the button was actually a hideous blouse I purchased from the Goodwill just for the purpose of using it for my ottoman. hee hee
Since I had the foam on the button I did not use the cutting template because I thought it might be too small. I just put the fabric on the button and stretched it as I was hooking into the teeth (by just pressing it into the teeth). Very very easy.
then I trimmed the fabric
(that leopard print in the background is my jammies LOL)
Then I snapped on the back. WOW this was SUPER easy!!
I purchased the fabric as a remnant and it was way long but I needed some more width so I thought about patching it together. One side went to the bottom but the other side didn't.
I was not sure how this was going to work once executed but the choices were to use the fabric the best way I could or scrap it and go buy 6 yards of something different. Since I purchased this as a remnant I could not buy any more of this specific pattern. Trust me, when I found this one that was the one time I dug through a bin trying to find another piece and even called the other stores in the chain to see if they had it. No such luck. I know 6 yards seem like a bit much for this ottoman BUT in order to piece the fabric together the "right way" that is how much it would take. Luckily I don't have any reservations of doing things my way... that's just how I roll… so lets see how this thing comes out.
Since I did not have enough fabric I went back to Mackenzie Childs website for some more inspiration..
I found this one..now remember that I am not trying to copy her stuff exactly I am just looking for inspiration. This piece cost $2,250!! Hmmmph not in this lifetime. I decided to combine the Mackenzie:
with a Moroccan Pouf
This part is not going to be easy. I dug out my soil separator fabric to make my pattern
I traced a small plate to make the center…didn't like how that looked so I used a regular plate to make the circle larger. I used my t-square to separate the ottoman into 8 sections and then drew lines from the bottom of each line to the top of the next line at the end of the plate line. I then cut out the fabric to the edge of the ottoman and I numbered each section so that I will remember where each piece goes.
I cut all the pieces out making sure I added some extra for seam allowances and then laid them on the ottoman to make sure they fit. They looked like once sewn together they would fit perfectly.
But once I sewed them all together they do not fit the same 😦
Maybe it will look a little better when I iron it out.
For my centerpiece I sewed a piece of satin together and scrunched it up and sewed it in a circle.
I placed the cover on the ottomon and stuck a long needle through the center hole on the bottom so I could be sure where the center is on top.
Then I sewed the poufy thingy in the center by hand
Then I put the button on and pulled it from the bottom and tied the string around a wad of cotton. I used come cotton string I found in the supermarket.
Part three I will have the sides stapled down, the final trim applied , and the legs painted. I worked on this bad boy too long today and I am done for the night. Difficulty level? 1-10 with 10 being the hardest…I rate this an 8. I need a break now. Going to find my electric cigarettes now cause I either need a smoke or a drink LOL

Saturday night but I am not at the movies. I have been working at my computer and feeling virtuous. Some more to do on this particular project tomorrow, but then it should be good to go.
After warm days and sitting in the parks, the weather is cold. So cold that I thought for a moment it was snowing today. Not quite true. My thought when I saw white flakes swirling outside my window was it wasn't cold enough for snow. I was right. The white flakes were petals from the hawthorn trees in the road.
MasterB is on the sofa beside me, curled up with his eyes closed, but there is something about his posture that suggests he is not entirely happy. I may be projecting. He has just had an encounter with Hartley outside. I should say at once that no paws were raised, and Hartley looked quite confused at coming face to face (twice) with His Gingerness. The first time, they were either side of the garden gate. MasterB strolled along the pavement, caught sight of Hartley and shrank back, flattening his ears against his head. But he didn't run away. I was between the two of them on MasterB's side of the gate. I made to rub Hartley's nose through the bars, trying to demonstrate to my boy that Hartley was not being aggressive. Hartley obligingly rolled over on his back at once, then, when I went to open the gate, skipped gaily into the garden; an invitation for me to follow. Against his will, but to keep him safe as a van was coming along the street, I popped MasterB into the garden and followed Hartley round the corner.
He led me to the bench. Of course he did. As I said, it was cold. I had been expecting MasterB to go into the garden and that I would return immediately to the warmth of the flat. I was not wearing a coat. Still, I know where my duty lies. So I sat down and cuddled Hartley for a few minutes to comfort him and give MasterB the opportunity to have an alfresco pee, find himself a concealed spot in the bushes, or head over the wall to neighbouring gardens. But it was cold, so soon I stood up. Hartley reached out a paw and tapped me on the leg; a gentle message that he would like more.
No chance. I rubbed his ears and returned to the gate. MasterB was on the gatepost. He sniffed Hartley's scent on my hand and hissed at me. I made mollifying noises, headed for the door. After a few seconds he followed and came inside, up the stairs then down again. I obliged him by opening the door and he positioned himself half in half out. That meant that, as so often, I had to stand beside him waiting for him to come to a decision.
So that's how we were when who should appear but Hartley. He looked a bit embarrassed, and MasterB did not exactly offer a warm welcome. Hartley looked for a way to get inside without going near MasterB. There wasn't room. He has never tried this before. Has he being taking instruction from his pushy friend Romeo who, in all likelihood is snoozing in warm comfort in B&J's neighbours' house?
MasterB started grumbling, backed indoors and sat on the stairs. I gently closed the door. What now? I wondered. After a few moments he climbed the stairs in a dignified, offended manner, still grumbling. When we reached the flat he didn't come in, but sat on my neighbours' doormat. I felt reproached. To make amends I fussed his face, and he stopped grumbling, then he came in.
Looking at him now, his seems more at ease. I hope I am forgiven. I also hope one day he and Hartley might be friends.
Stay safe. Keep well. Remember pets have feelings too.

This week, Restore Accountability featured content that focused on the issues that will impact the graduating class of 2017. To cap off Graduation Week, we are taking a trip to the future to share the consequences of one generation's failure to act's impact on the next generation. Here is a letter from the Graduating Class of 2037 to the current Congress.
Popular Posts
Dear 2017 Lawmakers,
This May, the Class of 2037 will graduate from college, a feat many of us did not think would happen after the debt crisis. Although we were just kids, we remember families moving into smaller homes, parents being laid off, and unaffordable education that made our lives much different than the ones you currently enjoy today.
When the debt crisis occurred, everything Americans owned was devalued significantly, almost overnight. Life savings, college funds, and retirement plans all lost life-altering value. Even our prized entitlement programs, Social Security and Medicare, were immediately and drastically cut without providing any opportunity for our parents to adjust their retirement planning.
Things are getting better now though. Foreign countries have finally stopped overseeing our economic policies and it looks like the next generation will have similar prosperity as Americans did just a few decades ago. This brings us to the pinnacle of our letter.
Why didn't your generation of lawmakers do anything? From what we learned in school, there was enough time to defuse the debt bomb. But Congress did nothing and the American people didn't hold elected officials in Washington accountable for the nation's finances until it was too late.
In one of our classes, we debated solutions that could have been made, such as reforming entitlement programs, eliminating special favors in the tax code, cutting blatant government waste, and simply spending less than the government took in. Budgeting is such a necessity now, it is incomprehensible to us as to why your generation couldn't find a solution to one of the most crucial and obvious issues in our country's history.
There were plenty of outspoken lawmakers that called for a balanced budget and common sense reforms, but it sounds like, at least how it's told in the history books, that these people were shooed away, as the United States could never succumb to such an internal catastrophe.
We realize hindsight is 20/20, but there was plenty of foresight from independent government agencies warning Congress that our country was on an unsustainable fiscal path. Our generation has seen the extensive reports and warning signs, yet nothing was done. Why couldn't you put away your political differences and do what was best for the country?
Looking on the brightside, the debt crisis has made our current lawmakers more cautious of government spending. We balance our budget every year, and only spend money we have. It truly is amazing how efficient our government has become. Unfortunately, it took the greatest financial disaster in history to encourage lawmakers to make the right decisions.
Citizens and elected officials alike learned painfully the United States is not immune to a debt-driven crisis. Ignorance, coupled with unaccountability, ultimately sentenced our generation to fiscal hardship and scarce opportunity. So this is our charge to you. Make the tough decisions now, because they are much easier than the ones that will be forced upon our generation later.
The Graduating Class of 2037

100% Fed Up reported that not similar to her fellow Republicans and Dems lawmakers in the Michigan legislature, Daire Rendon decided not to cherry-pick the proof of Michigan's voter fraud. She decided to review the evidence showed to the lawmakers objectively.
Furthermore, Rendon won't ignore the will of Michigan citizens, calling for a conclusive investigation into the 2020 election.
Join The True Defender Telegram Chanel Here: https://t.me/TheTrueDefender
Via phone conversation, Rendon spoke to 100% Fed Up, announcing her disappointment in the MI Senate Oversight Committee's report about the 2020 presidential election in Michigan.
MI Senate Oversight Committee Chair Ed McBroom, together with MI Senate majority Leader Mike Shirkey, admitted they would ask for an audit if AZ discoveries have evidence that the fraud occurred. They won't find evidence of widespread or systematic fraud in Michigan from the 2020 election.
If they don't think they would find significant evidence, why would they consider a forensic audit? Why would Mike Shirkey talk to AZ officials and announced that he would consider a forensic audit one he shared, "I believe what we've done in our oversight process is equal to, or more robust than what they've been doing."?
On December 16. House and Senate Oversight Committees sent subpoenas to Detroit and Livonia clerks, asking them to provide the surveillance video from the TCF Center, hard driver, emails, etc.
Why the committee chairs denied for the public to see what is inside the subpoenaed evidence?
MI Senate report doesn't regard the threats and behavior of numerous GOP and Independent poll challengers endured at the paid election worker's hands.
In the report, Jessy Jacob wasn't mentioned. Jacob was a worker who testified about the fraud she saw during her working hours.
In the report, MI Senators wanted to discredit Mellissa Carone, a Dominion worker who signed an affidavit regarding the multiple votes she saw being re-run through the machines by the paid workers. But, no one could prove these statements. They claim that the employees can't restart the stack because they first must clear the partial count, and Carone shared that she witnessed the act of re-submitting the same votes a couple of times after the error code emerged.
According to the Senate report, there was a chain of custody problems.
The MI Senators shared that Jocelyn Benson's ruling broke the law when she directed city clerks to ignore the signature matching law on the ballots from the 2020 election, but she didn't confess that it influenced the election outcome.
Republican Senators' report attacked the report on the evidence that got Matt DePerno, who could obtain a ruling from Judge Elsenheimer in Antrim County, to give IT experts to do an audit in Antrim, where 5,000 votes were switched from Trump to Biden.
On June 24, Matthew DePerno represented Antrim County Plaintiff William Bailey in the fraud case and answered the MI Senate Oversight Committee's report, and below, you can read part of his extraordinary response.
"The Michigan Senate has refused to meet with our attorneys and team of forensic experts to review actual evidence of election fraud. Reportedly, Senator McBroom (who has been accused in the past of violating people's constitutional rights) has gone so far as to instruct the Republican caucus not to review evidence for themselves. If they don't review the evidence, they can continue to say they have seen no evidence. Nevertheless, we have so far released 19 reports on election fraud through multiple legal briefs filed with the 13th Circuit Court in Antrim County. We are not done. Additional reports will be released soon. The Michigan Senate failed to properly address any of the evidence submitted in the 19 reports available for everyone to review at www.depernolaw.com. You can also see a great deal of the evidence at LetsFixStuff.org. These reports expose the inherent vulnerabilities and weak or nonexistent security protocols of voting machines. But more importantly, these reports also expose how the voting system and election in Antrim County were actually and definitively subverted through fraud and intentional manipulation of the voting machines; and by extrapolation, the State of Michigan."
However, DePerno is not the only one questioning the validity of the MI Senate Oversight Committee's report.
On Friday, Republican State Rep. Steve Carra asked for a forensic audit in Michigan. She's standing bravely and said: she "has evidence reflecting systemic election fraud in Michigan that occurred in the November 2020 election,"
Below you can read Rep. Daire Rendon's letter to the Americans:
"I have read and considered the June 23, 2021 report titled "Report on the November 2020 Election in Michigan" from the Michigan Senate Oversight Committee.
The Michigan Senate Oversight Committee concluded their investigation without examining appropriate evidence, expert reports, and requesting testimony from qualified experts. The report concludes that there was "no widespread or systemic fraud in Michigan's prosecution of the 2020 election". And yet, the Oversight Committee Chair stated in his Executive Summary that "this investigation should not be considered exhaustive' and that "every possible investigative avenue was not undertaken."
I am in receipt of evidence reflecting systemic election fraud in Michigan that occurred in the November 2020 election.
Many Michigan voters believe that the Michigan Senate Oversight Committee conclusion was formed without a proper investigation, and so I encourage attorneys in Michigan and beyond to pursue legal avenues that will reveal truth and transparency to the citizens of the United States."
In the conversation between 100% Fed Up and Rendon, she declared she's disappointed by her fellow lawmakers and their refusal to have credible elections.
Furthermore, she added that she's worried about the election integrity once she saw the "Assessment of Halderman Expert Report dating on March 26, 2021, by James Thomas Penrose, IV and Jeffrey Lenberg."
It is good to see that someone is taking care of the election integrity and directing the truth to the surface.

Lunamote woke from her dream suddenly, panting and sweating as the horrible images continue to swirl around her head. Her mother, hearing her yells of panic, burst in to console her and Lunamote slowly calmed down to her reassurances. 'No, the town wasn't underwater. No, there was no great flood. No, there weren't any bloated corpses stuck by the bridge.' Eventually, she was lulled back to sleep.
A week later, Lunamote was stood with a note clasped against her chest, protecting it from the torrential rain that had been thundering down for three days. She slipped it under the door and the quietly ran back home. Benjan Caeller, Sheriff of Ravengro, opened the note a few hours later and read 'You'll find bodies caught on the foundations of the bridge.'.
The playlist below was curated by Roxxi, to reflect her view of Lunamote and to give a flavour of who she is.

When I first started working as a chaplain at Union Rescue Mission in Los Angeles I always worked one day on a weekend. When I was working on Saturday or Sunday I took the whole family to the mission with me. My wife Jerelyn and my four daughters spent the day in the missions great big Coffee Room.
The coffee room pretty well stretched from the alley to the sidewalk and had a long treat and coffee bar, ping pong table. a pool table, books. magazines, puzzles and many other things. My family always had a fun day mixing it up with the men on the Missions recovery program men as they came into the coffee bar for coffee or treats. The program men adored my four girls and my girls loved them right back.
That meant when we left we to go home we had six people in the car. That meant we could always use the freeways carpool lane . At that time the speed limit in the carpool lane was 55 MPH.
When I was driving in the carpool lane I insisted on driving at 55 MPH. That was to the great frustration of the other drivers using the carpool lane. The other drivers very much wanted to drive at much more than the posted speed limit. I felt so self righteous. The other drivers felt very angry. My wife and daughters sided with the frustrated drivers.
After driving in the car pool lane at the speed limit for months something happened that destroyed my thoroughly enjoyable sense of superiority. As it happened the Auto Club offered a free test of speedometer accuracy. I took our old Ford car into to have its speedometer checked.
To my deep embarrassment when I thought I was doing 55 MPH I was actually driving at 47 MPH. That did serious damage to my months long indulgence in self righteousness. I felt really foolish instead.

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad-–A video of underaged children who appeared to be drinking alcohol during school hours has caught the attention of Education Minister Dr Nyan Gadsby-Dolly.
In the 27-second video, about a dozen children are seen dancing while music plays in the background.
No one is wearing a face mask.
One boy who appears to be less than 10 years old holds a bottle looking like alcohol. He then drinks from it. A woman is heard saying, "That is what you have the children and them doing?" An adult male looks on.
Speaking to Trinidad Guardian Media, Minister Gadsby-Dolly said she could not verify the primary source of the video and therefore could not confirm who the children were, where they were from and whether the video was taken on a school day.
"I am also unable to confirm what they are drinking so I cannot comment on those issues more than to say that the use of obscene language if uttered by the children, is unacceptable," Gadsby-Dolly said.
Asked what mechanisms are in place to ensure that students get their education, Gadsby-Dolly said an attendance accounting system is in place.
"It is critical that student attendance is taken for the purposes of accounting for our students. The Ministry of Education has asked for class attendance data to be taken daily online, and also that regular contact be maintained between teachers and parents whose children are receiving packages so we can account for the student engagement," she added.
The Children's Authority of Trinidad and Tobago is calling on parents to make the care and protection of their children, their number one priority.
The call comes following the circulation of a video with children liming and drinking what appears to be alcohol, outside a residence. The children are also heard using obscene language.
The Authority notes that parents and guardians must take responsibility for teaching children what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior. It adds that children should be taught at an early age the dangers of alcohol consumption and illicit drugs.
Parents are reminded of the following:
• Ensure children are left in the care of trusted and responsible adults
• Set boundaries about places children may go and enforce them
• Encourage children to check in with you frequently when they are not at home
• Monitor closely your child's social media and cellular phone activity
• Know your children's friends and observe any new influences which may affect their behavior
• Older children should not be given the responsibility to supervise younger ones
While the date of the video is not known, adults are encouraged to remind children that the COVID-19 pandemic requires behaviour change by all, in order to prevent the spread of the virus.
The Authority is collaborating with the Child Protection Unit of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service to investigate the matter. According to Section 38 of the Children Act, 2012, the Authority is mandated to contact the parent, guardian or the person with responsibility for a child, once it receives information from the Police that the child was believed to be drinking alcohol.
The public is reminded that "child protection is everybody's business" and we should not turn a blind eye when children are in danger or engaging in dangerous activity. To report concerns about a child's safety, contact the Authority's Hotline at 996 or the Police at 999.
Meanwhile, president of the National Primary Schools Principals Association Lance Mottley said the video was definitely an issue for parents.
"This is a parenting issue and has to be addressed from their perspective," Mottley said.
He added that there was only so much that principals could do especially outside of the physical school environment."

Nine have been chosen to meet reigning calypso monarch Karessah at the finals of the competition, but two-time king Observer and experienced calypsonian Bobb are not among the finalists.
Calypso critics have been closely listening to Observer's vocals, and believe this may have cost him a spot in the finals this time around. As for Bobb, his years of experience did not make him immune to errors at the semi-finals at the Newtown Savannah. Bobb apparently sang a particular verse in his song twice.
However, Mighty Lugas and Peter Pros will get a taste of the finals for the first time.
Lugas appeared to have thrilled patrons with his performance of "Internet Children: They want it now", a song penned by long-time writer, Ian Jackson. And Peter Pros improved his stage presence at Saturday's semi-finals, for his song "Worst Speaker" and satisfied the judges enough to secure a place in the finals.
Dice, Soul Puss, Explosion, Tasha P, Leandra, Checker and Sye are the others who will meet Karessah in the finals of the 2011 calypso competition.

More than 8,600 people traveled to Long Beach, California to attend the recent Advanced Clean Transportation (ACT) Expo, North America's largest advanced transportation technology and clean fleet event. Major retailers were in attendance looking to decarbonize their fleets, gaining insight into the latest developments, policies, and technologies in clean transportation solutions.
This year's ACT Expo featured the largest collection of clean vehicle and fuel solutions the industry has ever seen, with nearly 200 exhibitors on hand. If you couldn't make it out to Long Beach this year, here are three key takeaways from the 2022 ACT Expo.
1. Hydrogen is a promising solution for the demanding requirements of heavy-duty trucking.
Hydrogen has a lot going for it, including a couple of possible powertrain options for the future: hydrogen fuel cells and internal combustion engines. Hydrogen is energy dense and, when produced with renewable electricity, it's considered "green" and carbon free.
Hydrogen fuel cells are a zero-emissions solution with the flexibility, power and range that long-haul, heavy-duty trucks require. Compared to battery electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles also offer fast fueling and lighter weight – hydrogen tanks weigh thousands of pounds less than battery packs on electric trucks, which also cut into cargo capacity.
Internal combustion engines powered by H2, like the 15-liter X15H Cummins debuted in Long Beach, can use zero-carbon fuel at a lower initial price than a fuel-cell or battery-electric vehicle, with little modification to today's vehicles. Additionally, Cummins plans to release a 6.7-liter hydrogen engine that like the 15-liter, will be built on Cummins' new fuel-agnostic platform where below the head gasket, each fuel type's engine has largely similar components, and above the head gasket, each has different components for different fuel types.
While battery electric and fuel cell electric powertrains are key to achieving a net-zero future, the pairing of green hydrogen with the proven technology of internal combustion engines provides an important complement to future zero-emissions solutions. Put simply: these engines look like engines, they sound like engines and fit where engines normally fit.
Cummins also announced it will collaborate with Daimler Truck North America (DTNA, Portland, Ore., U.S.) to upfit and validate Freightliner Cascadia trucks with a Cummins fourth generation hydrogen fuel cell powertrain for use in North America. First units are slated to be available in 2024.
2. Natural gas is an immediate and cost-effective solution to achieve not only net-zero carbon operations, but negative carbon emissions.;
The California Natural Gas Vehicle Partnership (CNGVP) was in attendance to promote natural gas fuel technology and its immediate carbon-negative benefits. In 2021, approximately 98% of natural gas used for transportation in California came from methane emitted by renewable sources, including landfill waste, livestock manure, wastewater treatment plants, food and green waste, dead trees, and agricultural waste. Capturing and harnessing the methane emissions from these sources as a renewable fuel is the most immediate and effective step that can be taken to reduce GHG emissions, as reported by the world's leading climate scientists during the COP26 summit in Scotland in November 2021.
There's no trade off when it comes to performance, either. Cummins displayed its near-zero emissions X15N 15-liter natural gas engine for the North American freight transportation market, which offers reduced package size and weight compared to diesel, and power and torque curves almost identical to diesel. Designed as a solution for Class 8 freight trucks, the engine offers ratings up to 500 hp and 1,850 lb-ft of torque, enabling fleets to achieve powerful performance even in mountainous terrains. Typical tank packages on natural gas trucks allow for at least 750 miles of driving between refueling, which can be accomplished in only 15 minutes.
Trucks powered by Cummins' X15N engine will have a lower total cost of operation (TCO) than their diesel counterparts. This engine will arrive in production in the U.S. in 2024
3. The decarbonization challenge in transportation is too great for a single solution.
If there was anything to be learned from walking the floor at this year's expo, it is that there are many solutions along the path to zero, and incremental improvements can have big benefits. The challenge to achieve zero emissions in the commercial transportation industry is greater because of the significant diversity of applications, unlike passenger cars—and reaching net-zero emissions won't be a "light switch" event. The industry needs multiple solutions to meet the needs of all on- and off-highway customers and all applications considering the variety of duty cycles and operating environments. Infrastructure investment, regulatory advancements, and customer requirements all drive the pace of transition.
Cummins is embracing the opportunity to be part of the solution to the problem of climate change by pursuing reductions of GHGs from both internal combustion engines and new technologies through its Destination Zero strategy. The commitment to net-zero emissions requires changes to Cummins' products and the energy sources that power them, and this work requires collaboration and leadership from governments, utilities, and other industries. Because so many partners will influence these changes, Cummins employees around the world are working in their communities to move this important work forward.

Florida man pays to fly 'Ha Ha Ha' banner over Trump's Mar-a-Lago home
ABOVE: President Trump supporters flock to Mar-a-Lago amid FBI search
A Florida man paid for a plane to fly above Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate with a banner that read: "Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha."
Thomas Kennedy, a self-professed critic of Trump and Democratic activist, told NBC Miami he a group of friends paid $1,800 for the plane and banner.
"It brought me a lot of joy to do so," Kennedy said. "I would do it again."
He said the message was directed at Trump supporters that have been gathering near the property to protest the FBI executing a search warrant there.
Related: Crowd turns up at Mar-a-Lago to show support for Donald Trump after FBI search
Trump had earlier in the week asserted that agents had opened up a safe at his home and described their work as an "unannounced raid" that he likened to "prosecutorial misconduct."
The search intensifies the months-long probe into how classified documents ended up in boxes of White House records located at Mar-a-Lago earlier this year. It occurs amid a separate grand jury investigation into efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and adds to the potential legal peril for Trump as he lays the groundwork for another run.
Supporters have come out in droves to express their outrage.
"I just need to show people you can do something on a local level," said Adriane Shochet from Palm Beach County. "This is the United States of America. How is this happening now here? Why is this happening here? This shouldn't be happening."
Bob Swift from Broward County agreed.
"I was shocked and surprised and surprised that the FBI would do that," he said. "I think it's political because the midterms are coming."
