We gave up satellite TV about 18 months ago and had been watching movies nearly every night. Now our TV has died and we are reduced to watching movies on the laptop. Our friend sent us 2 seasons of "True Blood"-I think I caught a couple of episodes on TV and did not go back for more. Was I right?

I found a site I love to find free movies. You type in the name of the movie, it will tell you where you can stream it live. Amazon Prime, Netflix,etc. You can also ask to be reminded when it is available, also on cable channels, Xfinity, Encore every possible cable provider.

Anybody watching The Good Wife? I used to like this show when it was about Lockhart-Gardner but it has become too complicated and yesterday they featured Valerie Jarrett. She was awful. I like to watch some shows to distract me from what is happening in this country under this administration. Why did they have to bring this woman? Featuring Jarrett yesterday was a low point. I think this is the last episode I am watching.
Any comments?

My comment is: Thanks for the warning! My curiosity about this show just went out the window.
I caught parts of a couple of "Good Wife" episodes last season, which struck me as very well acted and interesting. So I have been thinking about checking it out. As for Valerie Jarrett, I would counter: why "Madam Secretary" as the lead-in? From the ads, the latter show looks like some valentine to a Hillary Clinton surrogate. It appears that CBS is stacking the deck for Democrat women on Sunday nights.

I'm not happy with the merger. I would much rather have seen how Carey and Alisha would have gone forward on their own. I would like to ask if any one watched the opening show Gracepoint? I wonder how long it will take to bring out the past of the new detective put in charge. Something fishy there. Also I am trying to get into How To Get Away With Murder. Lots of lose ends with this one that I can't tie together yet.

Has anyone been following the TV series "The Knick"? It popped up on my computer home page and I watched the pilot. Stars Clive Owen, I don't recognize the others but they play their parts well. It's about life in a hospital during 1900 - racial, drug use & of course, surgeries - very life like.

The first 3 episodes were shown during Labor Day weekend by my cable company as a freebie. I liked what I saw. I figure I will have to buy the dvd down the road. Anyone who likes this series might sample "Ripper Street," about the police in the London district in the aftermath of the Jack the Ripper crimes. Same period as "The Knick" basically, but set in London not New York, and a similar vibe. It stars Matthew Macfadyen, who is a Clive Owen type in his own right, and Jerome Flynn, who moonlights as Bronn, Peter Dinklage's sidekick/protector, on "Game of Thrones."

Should have mentioned: At least one of the seasons of "Ripper Street" has been shown here on BBC America. Maybe it's available on that channel's website for sampling.
While we are talking about tv shows set a century ago, a very offbeat "medical" program is "Young Doctor's Notebook" with Daniel (Harry Potter ) Radcliffe and Jon (Mad Men ) Hamm as his older alter ego. It is based on the short stories of Mikhail Bulgakov about his experiences as a young surgeon in a God-forsaken remote village during the Russian Revolution. Each episode runs less than a half-hour. It's definitely offbeat, to say the least, but it makes me laugh. It appears on the Ovation channel, which I didn't even know I could get on my tv until I caught some reference to this show.

Ripper Street was a series I watched too & enjoyed. I remember Matthew in an early edition of MI5, in real life he married the gal who was involved with her partner in "reel" life, Keeley Hawes. The series with Radcliffe is unfamiliar to me but I'll watch out for it.

Just saw the most recent episode of The Knick & then went to read the reviews for the show in general. Very favorable especially the one titled "The Rope" - what is interesting is that it was picked up for a second season before the pilot for it was shown.

Re the Revolutionary War series "Turn," which was discussed on this wall earlier this summer. AMC will re-run the series beginning tonight, Saturday 8/2, at 10pm eastern. I assume that means it will be available online as well. This is a good opportunity to catch up for those who missed it the first time around. Season 2 of the program should turn up next spring.

"Climate Change Has Put the Weather on Steroids"
Buffalo's Climate Change Driven Mega Snow-Food
22 November, 2014
Earlier this week something rather interesting and disturbing happened to the Jet Stream.
In the extreme northwest, a large heat pool over Alaska and the Beaufort Sea in the Arctic Ocean kept temperatures in the range of 10 to 36 degrees Fahrenheit above average. To the south, a powerful super typhoon, gorged on Pacific Ocean waters ranging from 1-2 C hotter than normal, raced into the extratropical region of the Central and Northern Pacific. And to the north and east, the cold core that normally resides over the North Pole began slipping south.
(Massive warm air invasion of the Arctic earlier this week led to a major polar vortex disruption driving cold air out of the Arctic and setting off record snowfall in the region of Buffalo, New York. Image source: Climate Reanalyzer.)
As the supertyphoon's remnants hit the warm weakness in the Jet Stream near Alaska, it bombed out into a monster extra-tropical low. This kicked warm air even further north, causing a whiplash in the Jet and driving the cold air core south over Canada.
Cold air rocketed down over the relatively warm waters of the Great Lakes. These waters, having soaked up the heat of yet another hotter than average American summer, squeezed an epic amount of moisture and storm feeding energy out into the air. Over the past two days, the result was as kind of thundersnow storm that parked itself in one location, dumping foot after foot of snow. By the time the final tally was counted this morning, as much as 8 feet had fallen over Buffalo New York. A record amount never before seen in so short a time span and yet so far ahead of winter.
More than seven deaths, multiple building collapses, a paralyzation of transportation, and extraordinary damages prompted the New York State governor to declare a state of emergency.
Yes, Climate Change Has Put the Weather on Steroids
All these events occurred in the context of a climate increasingly distorted by human-caused warming. The Northern Hemisphere during this week has averaged over 1 degree C hotter than normal. And the Arctic has averaged at around 2.5 degrees C hotter than normal.
In this mix of climate change driven extreme weather soup, that warming Arctic is critical. It provided the weakness in the Jet Stream for a supertyphoon's remnants to exploit. It provided a wobbly polar vortex all too ready to make another charge south over North America. And the super-hot equatorial waters of the Pacific added yet more energy to this stoked and building climate fire.
Cold Snow to Turn to Warm Food
But the tale of climate change driven extreme weather isn't over by a long shot. The cold dipole which drove over the Great Lakes earlier this week was anything but stable. Now, warmth is surging north over the US heartland springing up from the hot pools of the Gulf of Mexico and the Eastern Pacific. It is producing a warm frontal boundary that is now driving across the US heartland. By Saturday and Sunday, it will dump a warming rain over Buffalo's 8 feet of snowpack.
Temperatures are expected to climb into a much warmer than normal range of 50 degrees F by Saturday. By Sunday, the heat will build to 15-20 degrees above average reaching as high as 60 degrees F in the forecast.
(Sunday GFS model forecast shows temperatures at +15 to +20 degrees Fahrenheit above average for the Buffalo region. The added high temperatures are expected to coincide with rainfall and potential major flooding from the melt of a massive 8 feet of snow in some areas. Image source: Climate Reanalyzer. Note that global temperatures in both maps are in the range of 0.39 to 0.51 C above the already hotter than normal 1979 to 2000 average.)
The snow pack is first expected to ripen, then flood away under the rising heat and a half inch to two inches of rainfall. The impact to Buffalo's infrastructure could again be quite extraordinary. Between 9 and 15 inches worth of liquid water are locked in all that snow. Its sudden release into a landscape of clogged storm drains and choked roads is expected to provide an extraordinary flood risk. And massive piles of snow over buildings collecting more water will increase further risk of building collapse.
As of now, the National Weather Service has posted a Flood Watch — which means extreme conditions are expected to begin to have impacts within the next 48 hours.
Conditions in Context
Radical swings between weather extremes like those experienced by Buffalo this week are exactly the type of climate alterations we would expect as a result of human caused warming. These impacts occur in the context of a world that is now experiencing its hottest year on record globally. A place of increasingly intense droughts, rainfall, and snowfall events. A world in which the Northern Hemisphere Jet Stream is increasingly distended as air over the Arctic warms much faster than the rest of the globe.
Such extremes in weather have been predicted by climate scientists to result from human-caused warming. And we are beginning to see the start, the milder outliers, of these predicted extremes set off by the human heat forcing now. Further heightening Arctic warming, or worse, increasing cold water outflows from melting ice sheets over Greenland, will almost certainly set off far more extreme weather than what we are seeing now.
Message to climate change deniers — this serves as a warning to you. Turn back.
Greenhouse gases
"Methane was produced naturally in wetlands, but was also released from industry from natural gas systems and in the production of livestock."
....and not from the Arctic Ocean and the melting permafrost??
Greenhouse gases: Too much emphasis on Carbon dioxide impact; more needed on ozone, methane, scientists say
20 October, 2014
There is too much emphasis on carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas and other forms such as ozone, methane and sulphur dioxide should receive more attention, a group of scientists say.
Writing a comment piece in the science journal Nature, the group argued that other forms of air pollutants contributed to one in eight deaths worldwide, and nearly 50 million deaths could be avoided by 2040 if emissions were cut in half.
Other types of pollutants, such as methane, had a higher global warming potential when compared to carbon dioxide, they said.
Methane was produced naturally in wetlands, but was also released from industry from natural gas systems and in the production of livestock.
Dr Julia Schmale, from Germany's Institute of Advanced Sustainability Studies, said gases and particles came from many different sources.
"Generally speaking, black carbon comes from combustion sources," Dr Schmale said.
"Ozone is produced chemically in the atmosphere, which is why it's very hard to control," she said.
More emphasis on role of gases in climate change
Dr Schmale said while the pollutants had not been ignored, more emphasis should be placed on the role they played in climate change.
"Within the context of combating climate change, they have received much less attention," Dr Schmale said.
"Only in the recent three years, after reports from the United Nations environmental program came out, these so-called climate forcing pollutants have gained much more attention and this is why there is much more debate on it right now."
The scientists argued that small improvements could be made to remove the particles – such as from black carbon – from entering the atmosphere.
Dr Schmale pointed to recent programs developed within the United Nations.
"For example, install particle filters for cars," she said.
"You can prevent leakages from pipelines when you think about methane, you can capture methane emissions from landfills or waste water treatment and actually convert it into an alternative energy source.
"To reduce many of these pollutants and then also to reduce these climate forces like carbon dioxide at the same time, is that we reduce consumption or do not burn as many fossil or biogenic fuels anymore.
"So that means that we need to change our behaviour a little bit."
The article has been published in the journal Nature today.
New Zealand's fascist state
More fascist legislation from John Key as our democracy dies by a thousand cuts. Thx everyone who voted for this nazi

Alarm at 'draconian' leaked spy law
Controversial "temporary" terror law changes to crack down on suspected foreign fighters will come before Parliament this week - and a leaked draft reveals they will be in place until 2018.
23 November, 2014
Previously unseen proposals would see the passports of wannabe jihadis cancelled while the holders are overseas, leaving them stateless - in a breach of an international ban.
And the Security Intelligence Service will be able to request a suspected terrorist be temporarily stripped of their travel documents for 10 working days without providing evidence.
This buys spies time to make a case for restricting travel.
Prime Minister John Key outlined plans to stop Kiwis leaving the country to join the Islamic State earlier this month.
He indicated the changes - which boost surveillance powers and allow passports to be cancelled for up to three years - would have a sunset clause and expire if not carried forward by a review of the intelligence services next year.
In response to the leak, Key released the final draft of legislation this afternoon.
He said he had been " as open as I can be with New Zealanders about that threat, without overstating it".
"As I said earlier this month, New Zealand's risk and threat profile is changing and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has been successful in recruiting New Zealanders to its cause.
"This draft legislation contains measures that can add to the safety and security of New Zealand in the short-term."
He repeated comments that the laws would be part of a review of security agencies next year, but said a full review would take much longer.
"The legislation is also subject to a sunset clause which reflects how long the full process of the more comprehensive review is expected to take," he said.
"I am working to seek broad political support for this legislation and my office is conducting those talks in good faith with a number of parties.
"We have also shared the draft legislation with a number of interested parties outside Parliament in order to give them additional time to consider it."
He confirmed the legislation would be introduced Tuesday and passed before the House rose for Christmas.
The "restricted" legislation will be debated under urgency and passed within three weeks. The sunset clause does not expire until April, 2018.
The Countering Terrorist Fighters Legislation Bill will give police and the Security Intelligence access to Customs records and database, also not previously flagged by the Government.
The Government has also agreed to boost the SIS budget by $7 million and the agency is recruiting more spies.
Key says the changes are necessary because intelligence agencies have compiled a watch list of 30 to 40 people who want to join Islamic extremists waging war across Iraq and Syria.
The Greens are unlikely to support the legislation, although a final decision will be taken when MPs see the the bill this week. Co-leader Russel Norman is deeply concerned National is rushing through "further building blocks of the surveillance state before anyone can get a proper look at it".
He said: "It gives the SIS the legal right to break into your house without a warrant, install video cameras, videotape all your activities for 48 hours and hold on to all of that evidence."
Plans to render Kiwis stateless, without a trial, were "draconian and undemocratic", Norman said.
"You can be offshore, they take off your passport, you don't even know. And of course all of your travel documents - your visa for that country - become invalid.
"You can be locked up in that country for travelling without proper documents. You don't have any way to get home or anywhere else.
"This is the kind of thing the Chinese government does. You basically get convicted without a trial."
Islamic Women's Council spokeswoman Anjum Rahman says the fact that the Government has not yet made a case for the proposed law changes is "strongly uncomfortable".
"They are already able to cancel passports. There isn't a case for surveillance without a warrant - they haven't made one. And I, personally, feel vulnerable that I could be under surveillance for 48 hours without them having to give any reason."
She criticised the Government for a lack of communication with the Muslim community and wants more time for public submissions on the bill.
"They are using us for the reason for this legislation, but I have not seen or heard of any meaningful attempt to communicate with us."
She added: "The GCSB was found to have illegally spied on something like 88 people. That doesn't give us confidence that Government agencies will use their powers wisely.
"I appreciate that there is a need for security. I just don't believe there is a need to change the law."
John Key says sorry to Whale Oil
The prime minister has apologised to Whale Oil blogger Cameron Slater over the release of an email that forced Justice Minister Judith Collins' resignation.
23 November, 2014
The discovery comes as John Key awaits an inquiry report into an alleged smear campaign against the boss of the Serious Fraud Office. An email from Slater, obtained and released by Key, implicated Collins in the smear against her own official, saying she had been "gunning" for SFO director Adam Feeley.
Collins resigned, insisting she would clear her name. Key called an inquiry. Slater countered by lodging a privacy complaint against the prime minister for disclosing a personal email.
The email indicated Feeley may have been the target of a campaign to undermine him involving two bloggers, Cathy Odgers and Slater, and seemingly endorsed by Collins. At the time, Collins was overseeing the SFO, and the State Services Commission was investigating Feeley's actions.
Documents suggested the bloggers had been engaged by embattled Hanover financier Mark Hotchin to mount attacks, including one on the SFO director whom they dubbed "Five Fingers Feeley".
Justice Lester Chisholm is due to present his report to the prime minister this week. It is likely to clear Collins of any illegal actions. However, the bloggers may be the subject of criticism.
Despite this, Key has been forced to say sorry to Slater and Key's office has confirmed: "The Prime Minister recently wrote to Mr Slater to apologise."
But he stood by his actions. "The Prime Minister believes, however, it was in the public interest to release the email in question publicly," a spokeswoman said.
The Prime Minister's Office said it would not release the letter as it related to a privacy issue, but it was up to Slater to decide if he wished to make it public.
Slater yesterday agreed to issue a copy of the letter.
In it, Key says there was "intense media and public interest in matters concerning you and Judith Collins, following the publication of the book Dirty Politics", creating an "election issue".
Slater's email raised serious questions about Collins' conduct, he says. "In my view the reasons for Ms Collins' resignation were of real and legitimate public concern, and it was in the public interest that the fullest possible factual background be available."
But Key acknowledges the release of the email provoked increased media scrutiny of Slater and his family. "I regret any harm that may have been caused to you or your family by the release of the email, and hope that this letter may help to bring this matter to a close."
Neither Collins nor the bloggers were willing to comment before the report was released.
Otago University Law Professor Andrew Geddis said he would not be surprised if the inquiry found no wrongdoing by Collins.
"I'm not going to say that's a wrong conclusion either. It's always possible that she was acting as badly as intimated, but I just find it very hard to believe any politician could be that dumb. It wouldn't surprise me if [Slater] was just big-noting and puffing up his own importance with regards to this issue, and that he's misconstrued gossipy comments from one of their regular telephone conversations."
Ukraine update - 11/22/2014
Official - China Recognises Crimean Referendum
by Alexander Mercouris
This is the clear meaning of the statement TASS reports that a senior official of the Chinese Foreign Ministry has made.
The fact that China recognises the Crimean referendum means that de facto (and surely before long de jure) China has recognised Crimea's unification with Russia. Note also that the official has expressed support for Russia's Ukrainian policy.
This is the clearest statement from an official source (as opposed to the news media) of China's position viz the Ukrainian crisis that China has made to date. Because it is made by an official rather than a minister it has gone almost unnoticed. However that is how China works: statements of this sort are first floated in the media, then made formally but at a relatively low level, following which they become uncontested policy. Suffice to say that it is inconceivable that the official in question would have spoken out in this way without clearance from the very highest levels of the Chinese government and the fact that in his conversation to TASS he actually quotes comments made by Xi Jinping in telephone conversations with Putin puts that question beyond doubt.
I have always felt that the Chinese dimension in influencing Russia's Ukrainian policy is consistently underestimated. I am sure that every single step Moscow has taken since the start of the Ukrainian crisis has been discussed and coordinated with Beijing at the highest possible level. We should not make the mistake of thinking that the only conversations between Putin and Xi Jinping are those that are officially or publicly reported. The Chinese do not want to be seen taking an active or public role in the Ukrainian crisis - which formally speaking has nothing to do with them - but given the importance of China's support for Russia and the importance of Russia to China, it is a certainty that the two sides have been working closely together with each other and that they are discussing every aspect of this crisis all the time. Knowledge that he has China's support is one reason for Putin's confidence in his dealings with the US and the Europeans.
The need to coordinate with Beijing does however place certain constraints on Moscow's actions. Again I am sure that one reason amongst many why Russia has been wary of intervening actively in the Donbas or of formally recognising the various votes there is because it knows that doing so too obviously or too hastily would not be welcome in Beijing.
China is traditionally very wary of independence declarations (a policy restated with specific reference to the Ukraine by the official quoted by TASS) not because it is worried about Xinjiang or Tibet (where the situation is fully under control) as the west alleges but because it does not want to create a precedent for Taiwan.
Again I do not think many people especially in the west but also in Russia understand what a sensitive issue for China Taiwan is. Suffice to say that a key reason for the Sino Soviet split of the 1960s was precisely Mao Zedong's anger at what he correctly saw as a lack of support from Moscow over Taiwan.
That does not mean Novorossian independence will not happen or that either the Russians or indeed the Chinese are reconciled to the results of the Maidan coup or to the survival of the present regime in Kiev. Both countries perceive the sort of staged US backed "revolutions" that the Maidan coup was, as a direct challenge and threat to themselves. Both countries are almost certainly agreed that the results of the coup in a key Eurasian state must be reversed. Note how the official, in the clearest possible sign that he is speaking on behalf of the Chinese government, quotes a previously unreported but very revealing remark Xi Jinping said to Putin in one of their telephone conversations, that "there is no smoke without fire". No guesses who or what that refers to.
However the joint policy of reversing the effects of the Maidan coup is going to be done incrementally, step by step, for many reasons of which China's concerns about Taiwan are just one.
Anyway, to those who think there is some division between Beijing and Moscow both over the Crimean issue and over the Ukrainian crisis generally, this statement from an official of the Chinese government should finally and once and for all put that question to rest: there is one.
The US, Canada and the Ukraine refuse to condemn the heroization of Nazism
It is often argued whether the Ukrainian junta is Nazi or not. I would strongly argue that even though Poroshenko did not come out, make a Nazi salute and declare "I am a Nazi" all the signs point to the conclusion that the regime in Kiev has its ideological roots in the Nazi past. The latest example of that "filiation" can be found in this absolutely amazing event last week: only three countries - the US, Canada and the Ukraine voted against a UN Resolution condemning the heroization of Nazism. The EU was not much better: it abstained. This development is so crazy, so insane, that it is important to have access to the original document which was voted on.
Here is the full text of the Resolution:http://daccess-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N14/604/26/PDF/N1460426.pdf
You can also get this text from here:http://www.mediafire.com/view/94n40m3x00dr355/N1460426.pdf
Here is the official voting record:http://www.un.org/en/ga/third/69/docs/voting_sheets/L56.Rev1.pdf
To me, this is disgusting beyond belief. Here we have two countries who try to positions themselves as the most pro-Israeli on the planet (the US and Canada) and the EU which has even passed laws making not only Nazi propaganda illegal, but jailing those who would dare investigate the mass murder of Jews by the Nazis (the so-called 'Holocaust'). And yet these putatively anti-Nazi and "democratic" countries are now refusing to condemn the heroization of Nazism not so much because they particularly like Nazis, but because they want to "protect" the Ukrainian junta. As for the Ukrainians themselves, they have suffered more from Nazis then any other country or ethnic group, and yet they also refused to condemn the heroization of Nazism. This makes a mockery not only of all their so-called principles and values, it also is an act of obscene disrespect for the millions of Ukrainian murdered by the Nazis. There is one good thing about all this: it shows clearly and unequivocally how much the western elites truly hate Russia and that this hate clearly trumps any other considerations or values.
Russian disgust
For the past few days, or weeks, really, I have seen more and more signs of total Russian disgust with the West. If, in the past, Russian diplomats and politicians were mostly trying to sound polite, now they are openly expressing their disgust. For example, they are now openly saying the Europe does not have a foreign policy or an opinion, that Europe is just a subservient colony of the US. As for the US, the Russians are now openly saying that this entire Ukrainian crisis was just a pretext and that the US are really out there to submit Russia. Putin said that openly last week, adding that nobody had every succeeded in subduing Russia and neither would the USA. This goes further than words, Russia has already announced that she was going to boycott the 2016 Summit on Nuclear Security. This became known when the Russian informed the other members of this Summit that Russia would not participate in its preparatory work.
Sergei Lavrov also made a remarkable speech today, but since the pathetic website of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not even bother providing a translation on the same day, we will have to wait before I can post it here.

To me, this is disgusting beyond belief. Here we have two countries who try to positions themselves as the most pro-Israeli on the planet (the US and Canada) and the EU which has even passed laws making not only Nazi propaganda illegal, but jailing those who would dare investigate the mass murder of Jews by the Nazis (the so-called 'Holocaust'). And yet these putatively anti-Nazi and "democratic" countries are now refusing to condemn the heroization of Nazism not so much because they particularly like Nazis, but because they want to "protect" the Ukrainian junta. As for the Ukrainians themselves, they have suffered more from Nazis then any other country or ethnic group, and yet they also refused to condemn the heroization of Nazism. This makes a mockery not only of all their so-called principles and values, it also is an act of obscene disrespect for the millions of Ukrainian murdered by the Nazis. There is one good thing about all this: it shows clearly and unequivocally how much the western elites truly hate Russia and that this hate clearly trumps any other considerations or values.
Russian disgust
For the past few days, or weeks, really, I have seen more and more signs of total Russian disgust with the West. If, in the past, Russian diplomats and politicians were mostly trying to sound polite, now they are openly expressing their disgust. For example, they are now openly saying the Europe does not have a foreign policy or an opinion, that Europe is just a subservient colony of the US. As for the US, the Russians are now openly saying that this entire Ukrainian crisis was just a pretext and that the US are really out there to submit Russia. Putin said that openly last week, adding that nobody had every succeeded in subduing Russia and neither would the USA. This goes further than words, Russia has already announced that she was going to boycott the 2016 Summit on Nuclear Security. This became known when the Russian informed the other members of this Summit that Russia would not participate in its preparatory work.
Sergei Lavrov also made a remarkable speech today, but since the pathetic website of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not even bother providing a translation on the same day, we will have to wait before I can post it here.
The Saker
Україна - це Європа (the Ukraine is Europe)!
|First Maidan anniversary (the Ukraine is Europe indeed)
on President Putin's call upon US not to meddle in Russia affairs
Press TV reports on 22 November 2014 that President Putin, speaking at a forum of the All-Russia Peoples' Front in Moscow on 17 November, said "They [the US] want to subdue us, want to solve their problems at our expense. No one in history ever managed to do this to Russia, and no one ever will."
This is certainly no exaggeration. Russia has not only a solid trade and monetary alliance with China which already today bypasses the western dollar dominated western system, Russia is also one of the key members of the BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) which met last September in Dushanbe, Tajikistan to expands its current membership (China, Russia, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan) by including India, Pakistan, Iran and likely also Mongolia. Turkey, hosting a strategically crucial NATO base, wavering between east and west, has wanted to become an SCO member for quite a while. Turkish-speaking SCO governments would likely to support their petition. This would clearly be a huge conflict and blow to the western powers, particularly Washington – and may not go 'unpunished'.
The expanded SCO would control some 20 percent of the world's oil and half of all global gas reserves. On top of that, the bloc would represent about half of the world's population. The SCO and BRICS together would cover more than half the world's population and control about a third of the globe's GDP.
The issuance of a joint new global currency either by these countries at once or step by step is almost a certainty. The question is when. Given the disastrous course of western economies, such a new currency and monetary system is not far off. It would gradually replace the (petro) dollar for world trading as well as a reserve currency. The latter has already started. Ten years ago about 90% of world reserves consisted of dollar denominated securities. Today this proportion has shrunk to 60% - and – to the ignorance of most of the world – is steadily declining.
According to the IMF, reserves in other currencies in emerging markets have shot up by 400% since 2003. From August 2013 to February 2014, South Korea increased its yuan holdings 25-fold.
So – Mr. Putin's seemingly 'bold' statement is very much supported by facts. The western predatory economic system is decaying fast. Russia and China are already today prepared with an alternative. They are working actively with the other BRICS and SCO countries to prepare a solid larger scale alternative currency and monetary system, free from the FED, Wall Street, the IMF and the BIS (Bank for International Settlements).
Epidemics and Pandemics
On a seemingly unrelated matter, a new phenomenon is emerging. From the outset it looks like detached from the east-west economic power struggle. But it may be all but detached from the western faltering economy.
It is the threat of deadly pandemics that seem to emerge at the same time – and all are under control of the UN and its specialized organization, WHO which is assisted and advised by a number of international laboratories whose identifications largely escapes common knowledge. Most of the epidemics, potential pandemics, started in Africa, which is home to about 60% of the world's remaining natural unrenewable resources – and which are sought by the western and Northern Hemisphere's elite for their continued comfort and well-being.
Ebola broke out a few months ago in West Africa – Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and has since spread to Mali and Nigeria. Ebola is not a new disease. It has been reported and observed in Central Africa and former Zaïre in the seventies. WHO disposes of antidotes or vaccines. However, the US Department of Defense – which incidentally also has a research program on biological warfare – has contracted a Canadian laboratory two years ago to test and develop an Ebola vaccine in specially built hospitals in Liberia and Sierra Leone. Since the new Ebola outbreak in July 2014, more than 5,000 people have been killed according to WHO.
A couple of days ago it was reported by WHO that in Madagascar a plague epidemic had claimed the lives of at least 40 people since August 2014. – The bubonic plague, also called Black Death, was considered to be basically extinct since it killed a third of the European population in the 14ht Century, although a less virulent form may still be present today. No major outbreaks have occurred since 1904, when a Plague epidemic killed about 3% of Bombay's population, when antidotes where not yet available. Today's version can apparently fairly easily be suppressed with antibiotics and pesticides. – So – why is it still killing people in Madagascar? And why has the news become available only now?
A few weeks ago the deadly H5N1 avian influenza virus was newly discovered in the Netherlands, Germany and the UK. Out of seven recent cases of Bird Flu in Egypt, two died. In 2009 thanks to a WHO false flag alarm, Europe bought hundreds of millions of H5N1 vaccines – a bonanza for the pharmaceuticals – a scandal for WHO that has deeply tarnished the organization's image. In countries like Switzerland, people who showed any indication of a cold were practically force-vaccinated.
Aids – the HIV virus, also a Pentagon biological warfare experiment –broke out in the 1980's, likewise in Africa, spread to Haiti from where it was 'imported' to the US and the rest of the world. Today it is, though incurable, under control. But a new strain could easily be designed to make current drugs impotent.
All of this looks like a concerted effort by the power elite to (i) keep populations in check; justify Marshall law at a whim to oppress any potential uprising, for example against a new wave of organized theft of the western predatory greed economy; and (ii) to gradually help reduce world population – a target that the elite has strived for since the end of WWII – it's also one of the key objectives of the Bilderberg Society as voiced by many power figures, like Bill Gates and on several occasions by Henry Kissinger, arguably the worst war criminal still alive.
People could be easily quarantined by Presidential Executive Order under the guise of protecting the population at large from a pandemic – for which most likely vaccines and antidotes have been clandestinely developed as part of the biological warfare program – to protect the elite – and other strains for the public at large possibly laced with the very disease they pretend to prevent. Once Washington gives the order, say for force-vaccination, or Marshall Law – the European lackeys would simply follow suit; an easy way to keep populations under control, while the western financial system could run their final deed – depredation of the remaining social safety nets and public savings.
Again – on the dismal western economic scenario and the pandemic threats to the world, Mr. Putin's harsh words to the US, a warning against interference in Russia – are but a signal for Washington to reckon with a vigilant Russia (and China) – vigilant vis-à-vis the impending collapse of the western monetary system, and vigilant vis-à-vis the west's massive military and biological warfare threats.
Worth a tought? – And worth massive publication, so people may connect the dots.

Yatsenyuk's wall
Via Facebook
In the photos you can see Yatsenyuk's PR promotion of the Kiev junta's defense fence/wall against Russia. The first photo is one of the official ones. The second is from the other deck, which reveals that Yatsenyuk is posing in front of a 15 m long fence. Furthermore, one cannot but note that the barbed wire is oriented INTO Ukraine--thus indicating that the fence is symbolically turning Ukraine under the Nazi junta into a prison: the Ukrainians or Ukrainian refugees are to be prevented from escaping. In this regard, one can appreciate the importance of perspective and knowing where one stands.

I find it refreshing
Even though it is old, the issue is more potent as we watch those among us who continue to give love and adoration to this man.
Do these people love and adore the killers of Sandy Hook more? What does one have to do to receive the love of these people who continue to work to avoid transparency on this admitted child killer and his undeniable act of murder of a US Citizen?
"Old news" oh, my bad... ok, I'll get back in line with the tribe.
If you can't do anything with this.... you can't do anything and are just wasting all of our time.
If we can't all agree this murder is more important to get action on, we don't deserve a place in society.

In response to the urgent need of forest policy change and institutional adaptation in Central Asia, the workshop enabled to identify elements of a road map for policy review and enhancement of institutional performance. Panel discussions and group works included a variety of issues such as effects of policy design and recommendations for FAO and donor countries on policy development and institutional adaptation.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and Turkish Chamber of Forest Engineers (OMO) organized a regional workshop on "Forest Policy and Institutional Development in Central Asia" which was held in Trabzon, Turkey from 4-7 February 2014. The main aim of the workshop is to determine the key challenges and opportunities about adaptation of institutional capacities and regulatory framework for forest policy development in the SEC region.
A number of local and international participants from FAO Sub-Region (SEC), namely, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkey, specialists from the Sub-Regional Office for Central Asia (SEC) and FAO headquarters (FOE) as well as local representatives from the region demonstrated the connection between the policy development and institutional adaptation through experiences and case studies.
During the workshop participants focused on; policy changes that have taken place in recent years, challenges experienced in policy development and review, international experiences of institutional development, how policy changes have affected forestry institutions in terms of their objectives, functions, structures, financing and governance as well as key stakeholders, including local communities, NGOs and private sector.
The workshop provided responses for multiple challenges in forestry while fulfilling the aim of FAO's Strategic Objective 3, which is to improve the enabling environment for the rural poor so as to increase their access to resources, services, institutions and policy processes.
At the closure of workshop each participating country presented its two top areas based on the relevance and importance. In order of prioritization, the recommendations made by the participants were:
In his closing statement, Mr Ekrem Yazici, forestry expert from FAO SEC office, laid out some important steps for the next cooperation activities and way forward for more forestry related cooperation in the region.
For more information about outcomes and recommendations of the workshop, please refer to the link.
With the advent of rapid advancements in science and technology, institution adaptation and reform have become inevitable for the forestry sector. Broad political changes such as decentralization, transitions toward market economies, reliance on the private sector, have also contributed to the urge of adaptation in policy change. Thus, developing a formal forest policy which is consistent and clear, covering a wide range of interests in order to meet new challenges is the main goal of the activities. It also serves to the purpose of providing an in-depth understanding of how policy design and its implementation affect the enabling environment for small enterprises and communities.

(Akilah) Oh ok (Melanie) shouldn't have much longer to wait before somebody walks in (Akilah) Alright thank you Turning up having no one here at first was a blessing in disguise because I got to calm myself down a bit because I was feeling really nervous obviously because of what happened last time. Maybe I could ask you if you don't mind. (Melanie) Yeah that's fine (Akilah) There is this new thing out called Milano tan, it is basically when you inject yourself (Melanie) Ok yeah (Akilah) Yeah, so it is almost like permanently tanning yourself (Melanie) Die hard tanners it would be ideal for them. (Akilah) What is your description of a diehard tanner? (Melanie) Somebody who comes here about four times a week, all week every week, every month for the whole year. (Akilah) Is there like any way, like do you know when they usually come in because I would love to talk to one of them, I really would. The last time I did vox pops was nothing like this, last time I did it, it was so intense, there was hundreds of people, it was horrible, it was hot I was sweaty I was late. But now I was calmer, still nervous but calmer less people in a different kind of environment so it is just an illustration of how journalism can be really. Would you consider getting tanning injections? (Ewelina) I would have to know how does it work (Akilah) It develops Melatonin in your skin so it is a natural tan, but it lasts for a lot longer than say a normal tan would. So you would consider it? (Ewelina) Yes I would (Akilah) Because it is quite new and there is no knowledge about it I talk about it, explain it to them, and the hard thing is being objective. It suppresses your appetite and increases libido (Laughs) that is the only two so far, they don't know (Customer) That's good (Akilah) Everyone is like yeah Part of me wants to be like don't ever get that that's horrible, why would you want to do that? Or I could be like that's great suppresses your appetite why don't you get it done? And after a while I start to feel like I was advertising it , and it surprised me that people were quite keen on it, especially when they heard the side effects, everyone is like wahey, so yeah it is interesting.

City, airport leaders might have winning bid from airline
Published: April 12,2012
Tags: air travel, airlines, airplanes, airports, aviation, bidders, bidding, bids, Conventions, federal agency, federal government, jets, meetings, municipal government, tourism, tourists, transportation, travel, visitors
TUPELO — After rejecting two earlier rounds of bidding by smaller airlines hoping to provide commercial service in Tupelo, city and airport officials might have an offer they like.
Air Choice One and Silver Airways turned in their bids, and Tupelo Regional Airport executive director Josh Abramson said he likes what he sees in Silver.
Both airlines are hoping to land a two-year contract with the U.S. Department of Transportation's Essential Air Service program, which now pays Delta Air Lines $1.6 million to provide service.
Silver Airways, formerly known as Gulfstream International, would offer a 34-passenger SAAB to Atlanta.
Abramson said he favors Silver Airways over any of the bids they've received thus far because flying into an airport like Atlanta provides a huge convenience for local fliers.
"In six months you'll be able to buy your ticket through Delta.com. You get on the airplane, and you go to Atlanta.
"You won't notice a change. That's what we want. You're going to an airport with more options. If you really want to look into it, your biggest change is going to be you're going to Atlanta and you're going to spend less money," he said.
Air Choice One is offering either eight-passenger plans to Memphis. In another option by Air Choice, it would use an 18-seat Jetstream in its second year of service.
"It's a catch between Memphis and Atlanta. When we initially started this endeavor into the Essential Air Service program about two and half years ago, it was a different Memphis airport than it is today.
"Since then, Delta has continued to do cuts out of there. Twenty-five percent of the operations from Delta are cut out of there. The options aren't there that there used to be when we originally made the decision to go into Memphis," Abramson said.
Last July, Delta said it could no longer serve 24 small airports across the country. Included on the list were Tupelo, Greenville and Hattiesburg. Delta gets EAS subsidies to fly in those cities.
The USDOT ordered Delta to continue serving those cities until a substitute carrier could be found.
The USDOT will accept public comments through May 1, and Abramson said he would begin working with city and airport officials on responses to both offers.

Crucial insurance every veterinarian needs
Q: I'm a young associate veterinarian with a family. What types of insurance do I need to protect them?
"Since one in three people will become disabled in their lifetime, you really need to have disability coverage first—in addition to the basics," says Mark McGaunn, CPA, CFP, who works with veterinarians and veterinary practices at McGaunn & Schwadron, CPAs in Boston.
McGaunn points out that with most associate veterinarians assuming educational loans these days, they need a way to make those payments—and afford basic living expenses for their families—if they become injured or ill and can't work for an extended period of time. A disability insurance policy would cover that.Another type of coverage McGaunn recommends is a life insurance policy. There are two basic types of life insurance coverage. One kind values what expenses your dependents would be responsible for in the event of your demise. The other is based on human life value, which takes into account what you would have potentially earned over your lifetime.
Finally, consider adding an umbrella policy. "If you're a dog owner, one dog bite could bring a huge liability," he says. "This extra coverage could prevent you from losing everything."
