He lectures extensively and instructs at the New York Botanical Garden, Berkshire Botanical Garden and New England Grows.
Bring work gloves and dress for the weather.
Learn by doing in this hands-on shrub and tree planting/transplanting workshop. All aspects of successful planting will be demonstrated, and participants will assist in transplanting a multi-stem shrub and planting a small tree. Learn how to successfully transplant shrubs by correct timing and placement and techniques designed to create minimal disturbance and ensure smooth transition to a new site.

Ken Gooch is the Forest Health Program Director for the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation. Additionally, he is a Massachusetts Certified Arborist and teaches arboriculture at the Garden.
Consider the showgirls of the garden, the small flowering trees. At a perfect time for planting, join Elisabeth Cary for a comprehensive tour of hardy trees under 30 feet tall. Each selection will be discussed for garden-worthiness, growth habit, aesthetic consideration, siting, planting, cultivation and maintenance. Tips on how to integrate these beauties into the mixed border or woodland setting, or to use as a focal point, will be covered. Following the talk, tour the Berkshire Botanical Gardens to view what's in bloom and discuss the merits of each tree.
Elisabeth Cary is the Director of Education at the Berkshire Botanical Garden and has been gardening for over 25 years. She specializes in perennial, vegetable and mixed-border gardens.
Select peonies will be available for sale.
Gardeners have always loved peonies but recently have refocused their interest on the genus Paeonia. With new availability of woodland peonies, tree (suffruticosa) peonies and the explosion of intersectional crosses, gardeners are taking a closer look at this much loved genus. Join Dan Furman from Cricket Hill Garden for a lecture that covers basic botany, wild species descriptions and cultivation history in China, Japan and the US. The program will also cover practical aspects for creating a successful peony garden, including growing requirements for New England and discussion of select cultivars for the peony lover.
Dan Furman is a second-generation peony grower at Cricket Hill Garden in Thomaston, CT. Since joining the business in 2010, he has worked to expand the peony hybridization and production programs at the nursery. In addition to peonies, he is interested in growing pawpaws, persimmons, Asian pears and other unusual fruits in northwestern Connecticut.
Participants can choose to carpool or drive separately. Those joining the carpool should meet in the parking lot at Berkshire Botanical Garden for a 9 am departure. Carpool will return at approximately 1 pm.
For woody plant and tree lovers, join staff from the BBG for an exploration of a lesser known horticultural gem, Pine Hollow Arboretum, located in Slingerlands, NY. In 1966, founder John W. Abbuhl, M.D., started planting trees around his home to create an attractive setting. His affinity with the land, his interest in horticulture and his love of trees combined to inspire the creation of an arboretum. The arboretum's cataloged collection consists of over 3,300 unique trees, shrubs and other woody plants from around the world. This living collection is aesthetically arranged in a natural setting that includes 12 ponds and a succession forest, all easily accessible by a network of walking trails and bridges. Tour the grounds with the founder, Dr. Abbuhl, and learn about the small, flowering tree collections, including magnolias, dogwoods, crabapples and more. View cultivars of unusual genera, too, such as styrax, stewartia and heptacodium. A great way to view specimen plants in a naturalistic setting, just an hour's drive away.
Space is limited and reservations are required. Call 413-298-3926.
From the symbolic flower in Piero della Francesca's Virgin and Child Enthroned with Four Angels to Moss Roses in a Vase by Édouard Manet and Peonies by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, flowers appear in a remarkable variety of works in the Clark's collection. Join us at the Berkshire Botanical Garden in Stockbridge, MA, where Michael Cassin, director of the Clark's Center for Education in the Visual Arts, takes a look at some of the splendid examples of flower paintings that will be on view when the Clark reopens this summer.

Bureaucracy Top Problem for Bulgarian Companies in 2012
Inefficient administrative services were the biggest problem for businesses in Bulgaria in 2012, according to a survey of the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI).
The poll was conducted among 100 member companies of the BCCI in a bid to evaluate the business and investment climate in Bulgaria in 2012.
Poor administration was the top problem for 80% of the respondents, followed by legal changes cited by 76% of the respondents.
Most of the companies complained about corruption in public institutions and competition from companies operating in the grey economy.
Despite the growing unemployment in Bulgaria, companies cited finding good staff as the third biggest problem.
Over 64% of the companies complained about difficulties in finding employees with appropriate qualifications.
BCCI members reported deterioration in three spheres – fees paid by businesses (65%), legal environment and regulations (25%), and energy (48%).
Percentages exceed 100% because the participants in the survey gave more than one answer.
A majority of BCCI member companies (59%) reported improvement in only one sphere, infrastructure.
Participants in the survey also reported progress in the macroeconomic and fiscal stability of the country (18%) and the work of the revenue administration (14%).

Hearing Impairment
"Hearing Impairment" is defined under federal law as "an impairment of hearing, whether permanent or fluctuating, that adversely affects a child's educational performance but that is not included under the definition of deafness". "Deafness" is defined under federal law as "a hearing impairment that is so severe that the child is impaired in processing linguistic information through hearing, with or without amplification that adversely affects a child's educational performance".
A variety of services are available for students with hearing impairments such as audiology services, speech development training, language, academic, and auditory training, and comprehensive screenings and evaluations. Service delivery options include classroom-based programming, individual and small group instruction, team teaching, and consultation.
The Bismarck Special Education Department assists other District staff in conducting both mass and selective screenings. Mass screenings, which are activities designed to identify potential concerns regarding hearing, are conducted at the beginning of the school year for all students after their parents are notified. Hearing screenings are conducted in preschool and grades K, 1, and 2.
Selective screenings are the same as mass screenings except that specific students are identified rather than entire grades and classes of students. Parental consent must be obtained before staff conduct selective screenings. If, after conducting a screening, staff have concerns about a student's hearing, parents will be notified of the need for another screening or further assessment.
For more information about these services, contact:

In Nature, there is nothing you have to do, nothing you have to be, to be OKAY. Walking along in the woods, or standing on a mountain watching the sunrise, you are perfect. In that moment, you are you. And YOU is good.
Ruminature is simply my personal journal of thoughts and ideas I've collected while out on in the woods and running around the mountains where I live.
I am an introvert and a constant observer, and my day job as psychotherapist reinforces my mind to be in a constant state of viewing life according to it's intricate underlying patterns, the deeper layers, the existential questions, the "why's" and the "how's" and everyone's ultimate pursuit (whether they know it or not) the greatest of pursuits– to feel loved.
I used to be an idealist with a dose of happy extroversion I could put on like a nice outfit. I can still wear it, but as the years tick by and life continues to bring it's lessons able to be learned only through experience, and certain hopes don't turn out quite as expected, my idealism has grown a little rough around the edges. Sometimes she even has a sassy bout of road rage. But she has a home, as do all of my parts, standing alone in nature, and everything is O K.

Governor Bob McDonnell issued the following statement today on the newly released 2014 U.S. News "Best Colleges" Rankings. Among "Top Public Schools," the University of Virginia ranks No. 2, the College of William and Mary No. 6., and Virginia Tech No. 25. Washington and Lee is ranked No. 16 and the University of Richmond No. 25 among national liberal arts colleges. Also making the U.S News rankings in the other top 100 lists are Averett University, Bluefield Colleges, Christopher Newport University, Ferrum College, George Mason University, Hampden-Sydney College, James Madison University, Liberty University, Longwood University, Lynchburg College, Mary Baldwin College, Marymount University, Radford University, Roanoke College, Shenandoah University, University of Mary Washington, Virginia Commonwealth University, Virginia Military Institute, Virginia State University and Virginia Union University.
"In ranking after ranking we continue to see high marks among Virginia's public and private colleges. This year, U.S. News once again ranked the University of Virginia and College of William and Mary among the top 10 public schools nationwide, with 23 other Virginia colleges receiving impressive marks on the "Best Colleges" lists. Virginia's college age students don't have to go far to attend a top-quality university. In Virginia we are blessed to have one of the best higher education systems in the world. At the state level, in partnership with Virginia's institutions, we are doing everything we can to increase access and affordability to our higher education system so that our students can get the best education possible to be prepared for the highly-skilled, highly-technical jobs of the 21st century. Through close to $400 million in new investments in higher education and significant reforms passed by the General Assembly in 2011, we laid out a framework to produce 100,000 additional degrees in 15 years by placing a greater focus on the high-demand STEM degrees and implementing measures to make college more affordable and encourage better use of resources. We are already seeing the results. Virginia's schools have already added slots for 14,000 students and in 2012 we saw the lowest average yearly tuition increase in a decade. This renewed emphasis on higher education and additional general fund support will truly help our colleges continue to be ranked among the best nationwide and in the world, and help our students get the world-class college education they deserve."

— the New Day (@thenewdayuk) April 7, 2016
A mother who gave her son up for adoption 30 years ago, says she's now in love with him and has revealed that they want to get married and try to have a baby.
Kim West, 51, has been in a relationship with her son, Ben Ford, 32, for two years after he tried to re-connect with her in 2013.
She was forced to give up Ben when he was just a week old and never heard from him after that, the New Day reports.
It was only after Ben – who was living in the U.S. at the time – sent his mum, from England, a letter that they got back in contact.
The pair now claim their sex life is 'incredible' and plan to get married in the near future.
Kim knows that people will have a bad reaction to their taboo relationship, but says she is willing to battle for it, adding that their feelings are because of Genetic Sexual Attraction (GSA), not incest.
GSA causes relatives to feel sexual attraction to each other after meeting as adults.
When they first got back in touch, Ben was still married to Victoria, but they later split up so he could be with his mum.
Kim – an interior designer from Islington – said she began noticing her attraction to her son after she had 'sexy dreams' about him.
The pair spoke on the phone before they reunited at a hotel where they had their first kiss. They then went on to have 'incredible and mind-blowing sex' a number of times.
Just three days after, Ben – who lived in Colarado – broke the news to his wife and told her he was leaving her for his mum. The couple then flew to Michigan where they are now getting support from another GSA couple.
They both still insist that they're not in an incestuous relationship. Speaking to the New Day, Kim said: "This is not incest. We are like peas in a pod and meant to be together."
This view is echoed by Ben, who said he didn't think of Kim as his mum. He said: "When I met Kim, I couldn't think of her as my mum but instead as a sexual being."
What's probably more worrying is that they do really mean all this, but more than anything they deserve help, not hate.

…who was holding out her hand in a comforting, yet also scary and brain-dead way. It was somehow mesmerizing, thought Angel to herself as they slowly plodded towards Ally. Emily suddenly charged, brandishing The Shield of Lies...
It was silver and black and emanated evil in all directions. Angel felt the negative power splitting through her head, causing her to clutch her forehead and fall in pain to the floor. She could sense the 'black energy', the dark-matter, attacking every part of the good, and pushing herself to the extreme. She knew that if she wasn't careful, one of her 'fits' would come on.
"Noo, Emily," Maddy ran at the girl suddenly, and sliced the Sword of Truth right through the shield, and right through Emily…
She screamed and vanished into thin air again, vanquished a second time. Maddy then spun around on her toes, distracting Angel from her own painful trance. She pulled the girl up and looked her straight in the eyes.
"We must fight them! Be brave, Angel."
"You don't think it's a trap set up by the evil Mikados?" Angel thought, whilst continuing to advance towards Ally.
"I think it's a trap. By whom, I have no idea."
"Oh, I have many ideas," Angel stared into space, but at the same time grabbed Ally's wrist and tied them behind her back with some thick (and invisible) rope, "Mostly concerning the same people. But the Shield of Lies is very…helpful."
Maddy grabbed Ally too. "Concentrate, Angel," she said.
"And now, we should continue forward. Let's take Ally with us…"
"With love!" Angel yelled, triumphantly.
"With knowledge!" Maddy responded.
They wandered further inside the murky depths of The Funny Farm…

Pitoniak: Orange looking good
ESPN?s renowned bracketologist Joe Lunardi had SU seeded fifth in his latest NCAA tournament projections. But those were released before the Orange men defeated Villanova, 69-64, in Philly Monday night, so I assume he would have them as a fourth seed if the brackets were finalized today.
And, who knows? Should Syracuse defeat Georgetown on the road Saturday and wrap up the regular season with a win at home the following Saturday vs. DePaul, they could conceivably climb to a third seed because they would have finished 12-6 record in college basketball?s most talented conference.
Of course, it?s folly to project too much when it comes to Big East games. In his latest brackets, Lunardi projects 11 teams from the conference making the tournament, five more than the next in line ? the SEC and Big Ten ? and six more than the overrated ACC. The anybody-can-beat-anybody-on-a-given-day clich? has never been more true than during this Big East season.
Syracuse appears to have righted itself after following an 18-0 start with a six-losses-in-eight-games swoon. Although he could have made his point with less sarcasm and more class, Jim Boeheim was right recently in saying that people overreacted to the ?Cuse?s tailspin, forgetting the rugged, dog-eat-dog nature of the Big East.
The Orange men are in good shape heading into the conference tournament and NCAAs. They are 23-6 and riding a three-game win streak. In the ?Nova win the other night, they showed much more life on defense, getting out on shooters. And they kept their cool down the stretch when the game was on the line, especially when they needed to convert the victory-clinching free throws. (How about free-throw-challenged Rick Jackson looking like Gerry McNamara when it counted?)
That?s not to say there isn?t still room for improvement. Scoop Jardine had a big night with 20 points and six assists, but still had a few confounding Scoop-being-Scoop moments. He?ll need to limit those once March Madness arrives. I like the way Brandon Triche has been asserting himself in recent games, though, he?ll need to regain his shooting touch (he?s missed 21 of his last 25 shots) if SU is to dance deep into the NCAAs. Forward C.J. Fair and center Baye Moussa Keita continue to be solid contributors as freshman, and that trend will need to continue because Fab Melo, Dion Waiters and James Southerland aren?t ready for prime time.
With just two games in two weeks, the Orange men will have a chance to recover from the bumps, bruises and strains incurred during rugged Big East play.
So it appears they?ll be in good stead heading into the Big East and NCAA tournaments. The last two games will determine how much momentum they carry into the post-season and what kind of seeds they?ll wind up with.
The SU-Georgetown series still matters to both schools, but it?s not nearly as intense as it used to be. And I doubt it will ever be that way again. Part of it has to do with John Thompson relishing the villain role much more than his son does. And part of it has to do with the Hoyas being a mediocre program in the years following Big John?s retirement.
SU fans are understandably pleased with the trade that brought former Orange All-American Carmelo Anthony to the Knicks. With Melo back on the East Coast, I wouldn?t be surprised if we see him attending games in the Carrier Dome on occasion next year. And it appears that plans to retire his uniform number will go ahead next year.
Author and nationally recognized columnist Scott Pitoniak has covered Syracuse University basketball for more than three decades. His 14th book ? a biography about SU coach Jim Boeheim ? is scheduled to be published later this year. You can read more of him at www.scottpitoniak.com

Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS) employing an SF5+ polyatomic primary ion source for sputtering and Bi3+ primary ions for analysis was used to depth profile through DES coatings obtained from Medtronic (DES manufacturer) at variable temperatures. PLGA/Rapamycin films were prepared by casting solutions of 2% w/v poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) containing 5% w/w rapamycin (~6 µm) onto steel substrates, and a SIMS depth profile was acquired at room temperature. The signal was observed to decay at SF5+ primary ion doses of ~1.3 x 10^15 SF5+ ions/cm2 and the steel substrate was never reached. However, the depth profile stability was dramatically improved at low temperatures (-100 degrees C), as indicated by the relatively constant signal up through SF5+ primary ion doses of ~1.5 x 10^16 SF5+ ions/cm2. At this dose the secondary ions characteristic of the DES coating decreased while the corresponding steel substrate intensities increased, indicating that the entire film was eroded. This result shows that using low temperatures can extend the utility of SF5+ to characterize thicker polymeric materials (6.0 µm as opposed to 0.2 µm).
Cluster SIMS at low temperatures has also be used to elucidate the 3-dimensional structure in these DES coatings, as illustrated in the Figure, which shows secondary ion image overlays of m/z = 99 (fragment characteristic of PLGA) and m/z = 84 (fragment characteristic of Rapamycin) in a PLGA film containing 25% rapamycin. These images were acquired as a function of increasing sputter time or depth, and thus give detailed information on the heterogeneity in the surface and near surface region in these systems as compared to the bulk. To our knowledge, these images represent the first demonstration of successful 3-D SIMS imaging in real world drug delivery devices.

Joe: Human interactionMature
For a few horrifying moments he was simply frozen, staring into the eyes of death itself. The creature that used to be Laura shuffled closer, picking up speed and letting out the most guttural, animalistic groan that Joe had ever heard.
Move Joe, some basic instinct screamed to him and he leaped into action. Without thinking what he was doing, he charged into the monster, knocking them both to the ground. He felt the creature's legs twist at an awkward angle. Jaws snapped, hands scratched but none came into contact with Joe's skin. This was nothing like the Laura he had known once upon a time, this Laura was dead and hungry with milky-covered eyes and blackened teeth. A roll of nausea swept through Joe and he had to force himself not to throw up.
He rolled off the creature and in one lightening move was back up on his feet again, searching desperately for a weapon of any kind. Dammit why didn't he think to take one with him?! His heart was hammering ferociously against his chest and he was sure that the blood pounding in his ears would alert his whereabouts to the other zombies. The creature began dragging itself across the floor at an alarmingly fast pace, almost like a crab. A half-eaten dead crab…
Joe's eyes clapped on a metal pipe lying in the back of someone's truck. The thing grabbed his ankle and desperately tried taking a chunk out of his leg. Joe yelled out in panic and tugged free, aiming a hard kick straight into its head. It didn't stop though. Like a demented child who keeps trying to reach for something it can't have, the zombie's arms reached and swiped, its back legs kicking and pushing it forwards. Joe grabbed the pipe and brought it high above his head. The zombie's eyes met his for a brief moment before it was destroyed by the pipe. Joe brought it crashing down several times until bits of brain matter and blood covered his jeans and hands. This time he really did throw up. His eyes burned and the smell wafted up his nostrils.
'Oh God,' he whispered, dropping to the floor. 'What have I done?'
It was already dead, his mind told him. Don't forget that. Laura Ramona was dead already. You were only ending her suffering.
The killing hadn't been easy and if they were all like this, well Joe didn't think he was going to last very long at all. He suddenly longed more than ever for his parents. They had been his guiding light throughout his short fifteen years, showing him the way and providing all the love and support he could ever need. Before he knew what was happening, hot tears were spilling over his cheeks and an enormous rack of sobs overtook him.
He tried stifling it, in case there were more zombies around, his shoulders shaking violently but he wasn't doing a very good job of it.
'You alright kid?' a stranger's voice came out of nowhere. Joe looked through bleary eyes, not even caring what happened to him anymore. He was numb and exhausted.
'I'm fine,' he muttered, wiping his cheeks and turning away.
There was silence for a few moments and Joe saw the stranger eyeing up the thing that used to be Laura.
'First kill?' he asked, surprisingly soft. Joe nodded, despite himself and attempted a smile, standing shakily.
'That obvious?'
'Just a helpful hint, it's easier to puncture the brain by going straight through the eyes, time efficient you know.'
'Urgh. Thanks.'
The stranger pursed his lips, as though deliberating something. 'The name's Cancer.' He stretched his hand out. Joe shook it, introducing himself. The guy was tall, over six feet at least, and slim with black hair and brown eyes. Joe was pretty good at reading people though and he noticed something about Cancer's eyes; they seemed surprisingly hard, as though he had seen enough to last him several lifetimes. Joe wondered what Cancer had gone through, what had shaped him this way.
He suddenly felt very wary.

Contemporary American Societyaf David E. Nye
Contemporary American Society In its fifth revised edition, David Nyes splendid introduction to American society has become even better. Particularly the part dealing with politics, foreign and domestic, has been significantly strengthened. Contemporary American Society is comprehensive, yet gracefully written. It is both exciting and easy to use.Niels Bjerre-Poulsen, Ph.D., Associate ProfessorDept. of English, Copenhagen Business SchoolThe famous sociologist and political scientist Seymour Martin Lipset once stated that he who only knows one country knows no country. This illuminates why Professor David Nye, an American residing in Denmark, knows the United States so well. Contemporary American Society is an eloquent and insightful portrayal of the United States today and a must-read for any European who wishes to understand the myriad complexities of this mighty nation. Nyes work is, without question, the best introduction to Americas multifaceted political system, its rich history and diverse culture.«Tom Buk-Swienty, U.S. Correspondent»- Weekendavisen

Leaving Stanford - Sun Changes Nasdaq Symbol
Sun Microsystems is changing its stock exchange ticker symbol from SUNW to Java. The new NASDAQ ID will be introduced August 27.
The abbreviation SUNW stands for "Stanford University Network Workstation" and has been the stock exchange symbol for the company's shares since it went public in 1986. Two of the three founders, Scott McNealy and Vinod Khosla, were students at Stanford University. In the meantime, many of Sun's products and projects revolve around the object-oriented Java programming language. Java has been a registered trademark of Sun Microsystems since 1995. "But SUNW represents the past, and it's not without a nostalgic nod that we've decided to look ahead." says Sun's CEO and President Jonathan Schwarz talking about the decision in his Blog. Thanks to the Internet, Java is now better known than the company name, Sun Microsystems, he says.
Schwartz thus views this as critical to the company's marketing strategy. In his opinion, the popularity of the business today is mainly due to its brands StarOffice, the Open Source variant OpenOffice, and the Java Internet technology. "This isn't about changing the company name" he makes clear, going on to add that "we are no longer simply a workstation company, nor a company whose products can be limited by one category - and Java does a better job of capturing exactly that sentiment than any other four letter symbol."
In the same context, Schwartz referred to cooperation with Google, which was announced just a few days ago.

AUD/USD: weekly review (20/02)
Tatyana Norkina, an analyst at FBS
Daily. Last week the Australian dollar made his way deep into the Tenkan-Kijun channel on the daily timeframe. It may mean the further recovery of the pair to the Kijun line. Hovewer, it should be noted that the growth is corrective in nature only, as the dead cross is active and the cloud has a bearish tone. The maximum level, which will be restored by the bulls, is located in the area of 0.7950.
Chart. Daily AUDUSD
H4. At the four-hour timeframe the currency pair also took place in the neutral zone - in the bearish cloud. Break through of 0.7830 resistance level will have a positive impact on the mood of short-term players, who are supported by a golden cross, formed by Tenkan and Kijun lines.
Obviously, in this case one will expect a testing of the Ichimoku cloud top.

|Last Hour:
|Last 24 Hours:
In yesterday's "unprecedented catastrophe," I espoused that "when the powers that be's' unprecedentedly destructive acts – in the name of destroying the 99%, for the benefit of the 1% – inevitably, spectacularly fail; the world as we have known it will no longer be recognizable."
Well guess what? As of today, America – and its rapidly diminishing global role – will never be the same; as quite obviously, the "Deep State" that even I have had trouble acknowledging has once and for all, destroyed it. And by "Deep State," I don't necessarily mean a handful of people controlling the world; but instead, the political, corporate, and financial "leaders" with the most power and wealth to lose from the introduction of an "outsider" – who quite obviously, be they "Democrat" or Republican," will do anything to protect, no matter how many billions are destroyed in the process.
Starting with this week's New York Times accusation that Donald Trump fed the Russians top secret information – apparently, based on little if any evidence; and culminating with Trump's hubristic decision to fire James Comey – who in response, accused Trump of obstructing justice in the Michael Flynn "scandal"; the inevitability of Trump's impeachment has been dramatically upgraded – perhaps, to imminent.
From the second the historically angry American populace suggested it would eschew Deep State candidates like Hillary Clinton and Jeb Bush, it became crystal clear that all imaginable actions, legal and illegal, would be taken to prevent Donald Trump from winning. And when, to their shock and chagrin, he won anyway, to succeed. And by "succeed," I don't mean merely rendering him ineffective – as I vehemently predicted two days after the election; but instead, to literally destroy him – by hounding, investigating, and lying about every imaginable issue; until finally, when his defenses were weakened by the policy failures their lack of cooperation ensured; not to mention, the accelerating economic crash he inherited; they'd "get him" on something, be it important or immaterial.
Trust me, Trump didn't help his cause – by playing into their traps with inane policy decisions; aggressive confrontations – particularly via Twitter; horrifying Cabinet choices – like half of Goldman Sachs, for instance; and an inability to compromise with the expanding band of brigands out for his head. Attacking foreign heads of state – like those of China, Mexico, Russia, and Germany, to name a few – didn't give him any points overseas. And in bombing Syria; threatening North Korea; and God forbid, acknowledging Vladimir Putin's existence; he gave detractors all the "material" they'd need to "take him down." Let alone, as said detractors literally own the mainstream media – which at this point, the average Joe or Jane Sixpack has not a clue, or care, whether it's output is "fake." To them, all that matters is handouts; and if you can't deliver them – via the promised tax cuts and infrastructure spending which never had a chance to be enacted – they'd be just as happy to let Crooked Hillary have her shot. Particularly, as the first thing she'll likely pass if elected are "taxes on the rich" to pay for socialist nightmares like single payer healthcare. I guess we all new that was coming anyway, just not so fast!
Not that things would have turned out differently if in hindsight, Trump made 180-degree different choices on all fronts. As per above, America's Deep State "wanted him dead" (figuratively, of course) from the day he received the Republican nomination. Which, when he shockingly was elected anyway, simply prompted them to deploy additional "assassins," from all walks of the political, economic, social, and even military world. This, despite WikiLeaks, Anonymous, and essentially all classes of "social justice warriors" supporting him, doing everything in their power to defeat said Deep State. But alas, the world has changed forever, as now that the "impeachment genie" is out of the bottle, it can never be put back. And unlike Bill Clinton, there is no way Trump will survive the process – which, I might add, will likely make the Clinton, Nixon, and even Andrew Johnson impeachment proceedings appear "civil" by comparison.
So where does that leave us, as a nation? In a nutshell, several rungs below the top tier on the totem pole it has held since World War II, and rapidly declining. Per today's title, America's destruction has been, for the most part, man-made – not that it, or any empire, can last forever. Starting with abandonment of the gold standard in 1971, economic, financial, and monetary ruin was a fait accompli; and as the growing world – particularly, "emerging markets" like China – slowly but shortly caught up, America's fall from said top rung become increasingly irreversible, and imminent.
Technology helped, too – like the "weapons of mass destruction" known as derivatives, that have leveraged America like no nation in history. This, atop the "high frequency algorithms" and other Wall-Street-created tools to manipulate markets – which, in total, have contributed to not only the greatest capital misallocation in history; yielding across-the-board oversupply that will take years, if not decades to unwind; but the greatest wealth disparity in the nation's 240-year history. Which is exactly why the average American has no job and savings – and consequently, voted for Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders, or anyone not named Clinton or Bush.
That said, the entity most responsible for America's political, economic, social, and monetary demise – and, by virtue of the cancerous spread of its fiat "dollars," the entire world's as well – is unquestionably, the Federal Reserve. Yes, going all the way back to its approval via a lightly attended Christmas Eve Congressional vote in 2013 – as planned at the Deep State's Jekyll Island proceedings, by traitors like Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, and J.P. Morgan himself.
Throughout the decades, the Fed has used – and ultimately, abused – its power to spread inflation the world round; bringing individuals, corporations, and nations to their knees. With each dollar printed, America's historic debt load grew larger – and with it, the world's desire, and need, to print their own fiat toilet paper to "keep pace." Ultimately, the debt became unpayable; and when the resulting economic decay led to crisis, each succeeding Chairman "stepped up" the carnage by printing more; and ultimately, using the "weapons" of zero interest rates (Greenspan) and "QE" (Bernanke) to enslave the world, and create the world's largest, most dangerous asset bubbles.
Which, of course, could only be "accomplished" if the one asset class with the ability to "call out" its fraud was allowed to express itself; i.e., physical Precious Metals. Which is why, with increasingly blatant tactics, the "gold Cartel" launched in 1933 via the shadowy "Exchange Stabilization Fund" has done everything in its power to suppress prices. Including, via the admissions that all but "those too blind to see" choose to ignore," mortgaging the nation's gold reserves; likely, to the Chinese, Indians, Russians, and Arabs. And in the process, creating prices so undervalued, they catalyzed record physical demand, whilst permanently destroying the mining industry. In other words, sowing the seeds for the inevitable supply shortages that not only catalyze monetary panic, but skyrocketing gold and silver prices, by many, many multiples.
As for today, we'll see if the unprecedented string of "low volatility" the psychotic, world-destroying PPT has created can be saved. Let alone, the "dotcom valuations" their lunatic manipulations have caused, amidst Great Depression economic conditions. As for the "Trump-flation" meme they fabricated on Election Night, as an excuse to reverse their previous pro-Clinton narrative – and thus, justify surging stocks and plunging Precious Metals; it's, as of today, dead. To wit, the dollar is now below Election Day's level; interest rates, commodities, and economic activity are plunging; and oh yeah, none of Trump's key campaign promises have been met.
Conversely, gold has retaken its 200-week moving average of $1,239/oz; with its more important 5½ year downtrend line – from the Cartel's initial, heinous, September 2011 attacks – back in sight, at roughly $1,285/oz. As for silver – by far, the tighter market; with by far, more "Cartel leverage" employed; it's only a matter of time, particularly with its ratio to gold stretched so far, before physical demand swamps the Cartel's best efforts to prevent its "ultimate quadruple top breakout" above the 1980 and 2011 nominal highs of $50/oz. Which, when the "perfect precious metals storm – made entirely in America" plays out, will be, in Bill Murphy of GATA's immortal words, "jacks for starters."
Moreover, there's that little thing known as Bitcoin to consider – which as I write, has surged to a new all-time high. In my very strong view, crypto-currency will fight alongside Precious Metals as "twin destroyer" of the world's largest, most destructive fiat Ponzi scheme. Which, now that the economic and political fabric of the nation issuing the world's "reserve currency" is in tatters, could catalyze a near-term monetary revolution unlike any the world has seen. In a nutshell, I believe the future of utilitarian money is decentralized crypto-currency like Bitcoin; as much so, as my long-standing view that the "once and future king" of wealth storage will be physical gold and silver. And the more governments realize Bitcoin's power, the more they will (futilely) attack it. Thus, "taking the heat" off gold and silver, and facilitating their own parabolic rises.
To conclude, the world as we know it – at least, the America we have known – forever changed last night. And with it, the odds of the dollar's death as "world reserve currency" increased dramatically. Going forward, the world is going to be a much scarier, more difficult place for most. However, the one thing I'm sure of, is that if you hold at least a modicum of physical gold and silver – held outside the financial system; no matter where you reside, your financial path forward will be exponentially easier.
Less Government. More Freedom.

We're thinking about buying a 1973 Pearson 36. A thorough internet search has turned up very little information about the early 36s, including anything available on any of the Pearson owner websites. Any info from an owner of one of these boats, or someone who has sailed aboard one extensively would be greatly appreciated.
Join the Pearson email list here on Sailnet and ask your question there. I think there are several owners of that vintage P-36 who frequent that list.

The spread of a disease that is decimating global bee populations is manmade, and driven by European honeybee populations, new research has concluded.
A study led by the University of Exeter and UC Berkeley and published in the journal Science found that the European honeybee Apis mellifera is overwhelmingly the source of cases of the Deformed Wing Virus infecting hives worldwide. The finding suggests that the pandemic is manmade rather than naturally occurring, with human trade and transportation of bees for crop pollination driving the spread.
Although separately they are not major threats to bee populations, when the Varroa mite carries the disease, the combination is deadly, and has wiped out millions of honeybees over recent decades. Varroa feed on bee larvae while the Deformed Wing Virus kills off bees, a devastating double blow to colonies. The situation is adding to fears over the future of global bee populations, with major implications for biodiversity, agricultural biosecurity, global economies, and human health.
The study was funded by the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) and supported by a Royal Society Dorothy Hodgkin Fellowship. It involved collaborators from the universities of Sheffield, Cambridge, Salford and UC Berkeley, as well as ETH Zurich in Switzerland.
Lead author Dr Lena Wilfert, of the University of Exeter's Centre for Ecology and Conservation, on the Penryn Campus in Cornwall, said: "This is the first study to conclude that Europe is the backbone of the global spread of the bee killing combination of Deformed Wing Virus and Varroa. This demonstrates that the spread of this combination is largely manmade – if the spread was naturally occurring, we would expect to see transmission between countries that are close to each other, but we found that, for example, the New Zealand virus population originated in Europe. This significantly strengthens the theory that human transportation of bees is responsible for the spread of this devastating disease. We must now maintain strict limits on the movement of bees, whether they are known to carry Varroa or not. It's also really important that beekeepers at all levels take steps to control Varroa in their hives, as this viral disease can also affect wild pollinators."
Researchers analysed sequence data of Deformed Wing Virus samples across the globe from honeybees and Varroa mites, as well as the occurrence of Varroa. They used the information to reconstruct the spread of Deformed Wing Virus and found that the epidemic largely spread from Europe to North America, Australia and New Zealand. They found some two-way movement between Europe and Asia, but none between Asia and Australasia, despite their closer proximity. The team also looked at samples from other species suspected of transmitting the disease, including different species of honeybee, mite and bumblebees, but concluded that the European honeybee was the key transmitter.
Professor Roger Butlin, Professor of Evolutionary Biology at the University of Sheffield, said: "Our study has found that the deformed wing virus is a major threat to honeybee populations across the world and this epidemic has been driven by the trade and movement of honeybee colonies.
"Domesticated honeybee colonies are hugely important for our agriculture systems, but this study shows the risks of moving animals and plants around the world. The consequences can be devastating, both for domestic animals and for wildlife. The risk of introducing viruses or other pathogens is just one of many potential dangers."
Senior author Professor Mike Boots of Exeter and UC Berkeley concluded: "The key insight of our work is that the global virus pandemic in honeybees is manmade not natural. It's therefore within our hands to mitigate this and future disease problems."

By combining semiconducting nanowires and bacteria, researchers can now produce liquid fuel.
Three pioneers in the field of synthetic photosynthesis discuss the potential of this technology and the challenges that must be overcome to make it commonplace.
Imagine creating artificial plants that make gasoline and natural gas using only sunlight. And imagine using those fuels to heat our homes or run our cars without adding any greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. By combining nanoscience and biology, researchers led by scientists at University of California, Berkeley, have taken a big step in that direction.
Peidong Yang, a professor of chemistry at Berkeley and co-director of the school's Kavli Energy NanoSciences Institute, leads a team that has created an artificial leaf that produces methane, the primary component of natural gas, using a combination of semiconducting nanowires and bacteria. The research, detailed in the online edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in August, builds on a similar hybrid system, also recently devised by Yang and his colleagues, that yielded butanol, a component in gasoline, and a variety of biochemical building blocks.
The research is a major advance toward synthetic photosynthesis, a type of solar power based on the ability of plants to transform sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into sugars. Instead of sugars, however, synthetic photosynthesis seeks to produce liquid fuels that can be stored for months or years and distributed through existing energy infrastructure.
It could be the key to large-scale implementation of carbon capture
Carbon capture is a process by which waste carbon dioxide (CO2) released by factories and power plants is collected and stored away, in order to reduce global carbon emissions. There are two major ways of carbon capture today, one using powder-like solid materials which "stick" to CO2, and one using liquids that absorb it. Despite their potential environmental and energy benefits, current carbon capture strategies are prohibitive because of engineering demands, cost and overall energy-efficiency. Collaborating scientists from EPFL, UC Berkley and Beijing have combined carbon-capturing solids and liquids to develop a "slurry" that offers the best of both worlds: as a liquid it is relatively simple to implement on a large scale, while it maintains the lower costs and energy efficiency of a solid carbon-capturing material. The breakthrough method is published in Nature Communications.
The most common approach to carbon capture uses liquid amine solutions, which can absorb CO2 from the atmosphere. On a large scale, the system uses two columns, one for capturing CO2 and the other for releasing it from the liquid, in a process referred to as "regeneration". For amine solutions, regeneration is the most energy-consuming part because the CO2 is so strongly bound to the amine molecules that it is necessary to actually boil them in order to separate them.
An alternative to liquids is to use solid materials known as "metal-organic frameworks" (MOFs). These are fine powders whose particles are made up of metal atoms that are connected into a 3D structure with organic linkers. Their surface is covered with nano-size pores that collect CO2 molecules. But despite its lower cost, as this method involves transporting solids it is very demanding in terms of engineering. Berend Smit, Director of the Energy Center at EPFL, explains: "Imagine trying to walk with a plateful of baby powder. It's going to go everywhere, and it's very difficult to control."
Working with scientists from Beijing and UC Berkeley, Smit is a lead author on a breakthrough carbon-capture innovation that uses a mixture of solid and liquid in solution called a "slurry". The solid part of the slurry is a MOF called ZIF-8, which is suspended in a 2-methylimidazole glycol liquid mixture.
"Why a slurry?" says Smit. "Because in the materials that are currently used for adsorption the pores are too large and the surrounding liquid would fill them, and not let them capture CO2 molecules. So here we looked at a material – ZIF-8 – whose pores are too small for the glycol's molecules to fit, but big enough for capturing the CO2 molecules from flue gas."
ZIF-8 is a good material for carbon-capturing slurries, because it displays excellent solution, chemical and thermal stability, which is important for repeated regeneration cycles. ZIF-8 crystals have narrow pores (3.4 Å in diameter) that are smaller than the diameter of glycol molecules (4.5 Å), preventing them from entering. Even though other liquids were tested in the design of the slurry, including ethanol, hexane, methylbenzene and tetrachloromethane, their molecules are small enough to enter the ZIF-8 pores and reduce its carbon capturing efficiency. In this respect, glycerol has so far been shown to be an ideal liquid.
Take me to the complete story . . .

Chapter 5.5Mature
I kissed Mollie again as the shop door closed behind Alistair. We kissed for a little longer before she stopped, pulling away gently.
"That's enough," she whispered.
"Okay," I smiled at her. To be honest, I was just grateful that he hadn't simply pushed me away.
She glanced away, averting her eyes so I couldn't see what she was thinking.
"Hey, what's up?" I asked softly, touching her cheek.
"Nothing," she said honestly, looking back up at me. "Take me to yours."
I looked at her for a moment before saying, "What?" Had she really asked me that?
"Take me to yours," she repeated quietly, blushing a light pink.
I continued just looking at her in silence for a short while. "Get your stuff and I'll lock up."
She nodded once and went to get her bag. She typed something on her phone, probably a message to a parent. Waiting for her by the door, I had the keys in my hand. I reached for her hand and led her out of the shop, locking up behind us and dropping the keys into a pocket. We began to walk and she seemed to be getting nervous.
"Don't have to, if you don't want to," I said, leaning across to kiss her cheek.
"No, I want to," she admitted quietly, embarrassed. "I've just... never done this before."
I smiled and released her hand, putting my arm around her waist.
"Want me to carry your bag?" I asked her.
She shook her head, leaning into me as we walked.
"It's not far anyway," I informed her.
I took her to the high-rise building I stayed in when I was down on an assignment. Not exactly a cheap building either.
She blinked up at it as we approached. "How can you afford it? You barely break even at the shop."
Ah, yes, that was after I put most of it into a bank account that had been building up for years.
I simply grinned over at her without answering.
She flushed a little, probably drawing her own conclusions. I leant to kiss her cheek again. She turned her head so my lips met her own, instead of her skin. I immediately stopped walking, just outside the building. She stopped too, kissing me slowly. I gave her the controls, letting her make her own decisions. Considering what was going to be going on by the time we got to my apartment, I wanted her to make sure this was actually what she wanted.
She pulled back and frowned, sensing that she was in charge. "Why aren't you...? I thought, with earlier, you wanted to... to take charge."
"I can if you want me to," I answered quietly, grinning cheekily.
She flushed again. "Well, I have no clue what to do... and I kind of like that dark side about you.
I chuckled, kissing her jaw. By now I had long forgotten we were stood outside in the night air. She gasped and closed her eyes. I took her hand and led her inside, straight to the row of lifts. This was going to be happening in the middle of the foyer if we continued like we had been.
Mollie flushed as the lift doors closed behind us, locking us in alone together. I looked over at her. God, I so wanted her. I pulled her to me using the hand I still had hold of.
She gasped again. She breathed my name, closing her eyes. I smiled against her skin.
"You sure about this, Mollie?" I asked her quietly, still by her neck.. "I don't think there'll be any going back once we get inside."
In fact, I knew for certain there would be no second chances for a decision once we were in my apartment.
"I'm very sure," she whispered, her fingers curling into my hair. I could hear in her voice that she meant what she said. She was definitely sure about this and that put my mind at ease a little. And, of course, only heightened my desire.
"Oh, god, Mollie," I groaned, letting my head simply fall onto her shoulder, her scent all around me.
My arms tightened around her waist of their own accord, pulling her against me even more. Her skin turned a flushed pink again. I straightened up, looking at her. I touched her coloured cheek and smiled. I kissed her again, feeling her lips press back.
The doors pinged open and I pulled away, leading her very quickly to my apartment. She followed in a daze. Stopping outside my door which was a little way down the corridor, I unlocked it and pushed it wide for her to enter first.
She inched inside and looked around. The lamp on the other side of the room was still on, as I'd left it. I could see my scythe and robes thrown unceremoniously on an armchair, where I'd put them once I'd got back from my meeting with Death. Thankfully, she didn't notice them.
The apartment was an open plan design, with the main rooms – the living room, dining room and kitchen – all leading into each other. Only the bedroom and bathroom were hidden away by doors.
I shut the door and put my arms around her waist from behind. She gasped and I kissed her shoulder. She shrugged her shirt off her shoulders. I ran my hands down her bare upper arms and over to her hips, pulling her back against me.
She looked over her shoulder at me. "Why me? Of all the women you could have."
That was the question, wasn't it? I couldn't even answer that in my own mind.
I kissed her skin slowly, repeatedly, until I thought of something. "You're you, for starters."
She laughed at my response. "I can't be anyone else."
"I wouldn't want you to be," I smiled, because it was the truth.
She blushed, causing my smile to widen as I caught her lips with mine. She kissed back and I moved to take off my shirt but she caught my wrist and turned around, doing it herself. When it was lying on the floor, I pulled her against me, feeling her skin against mine.
She flushed again and let her shirt fall from where it was caught by her elbows. I looked over her. She was so beautiful, inside and out. I ran my finger down the centre of her chest in a straight line.
Her flush deepened and she kissed me. I responded immediately, kissing her back. She hooked her fingers through the belt loops on my jeans and drew me over to the bedroom.
Once it was over, I just held her close in my arms, though she clutched the quilt around her.
"Don't be embarrassed about yourself, Mollie," I whispered, kissing her hair. I'd noticed that she didn't like me seeing her.
"I can't help it," she blushed.
I turned her face so I could kiss her, feeling her kiss me back.
"You really don't need to be embarrassed," I murmured, pressing my lips back to hers briefly.
She shivered. "I-I need the bathroom," she said, getting up.
I watched her walk over to the door. She flushed a deep red and ran out. I sat up, curious, and fell back onto the bed, smirking. The protection we'd used was kind of hanging over the room where I'd dropped it.
Mollie spent a while in the bathroom and came back just as I was considering getting up to check on her.
"You okay?" I asked when she returned.
She nodded, lying back down beside me.
"Um... Goodnight then," she said, clearly feeling awkward.
I smiled at her. "Goodnight," I murmured, brushing hair out of her face and kissing her briefly.
She smiled and went to sleep. I watched her for a little while, trying to figure out exactly what my feelings were for Mollie. I eventually gave up, sleeping relatively easily.

Mar. 19: American Session
Tatiana Norkina, analyst at FBS
Positive data on the U.S. balance of payments have triggered the U.S. dollar index to get moving today. After the statistics release, the index has increased by +0.16% and moved up to the two-day resistance at 79.65. Major U.S. stock indexes are also in the green zone, adding up to +0.10%. Against this background, the single European currency has started to weaken against the U.S. dollar, and the EUR/USD pair is back to the 1.3900 figure. The USD/CHF pair, on the contrary, has recovered to the 0.8750 resistance. Consolidation above this level may lead to further growth to 0.8825.
The GBP/USD currecny pair has decreased to the 1.6620 support level, after testing 1.6650. In the meanitme, USD/JPY is consolidating in the 101.50 area, awaiting statements from FOMC and Chair of FRS Board of Governors Janet Yellen.

My wife is called back to Chicago for work a few times a year and I'm usually begging her to make time to bring back a big bag of spices from The Spice House. In particular I haven't been able to find ground ancho chili powder anywhere in the Hudson Valley (nor in my forays around Albany,NY). I easily go through 2lbs or more of ground and whole Anchos in a year. Most obviously it goes into homemade chili powder blends for texas chili con carne, as well as homemade taco seasoning.
I adore hot sauce. I suspect that I use hot sauce the way other people may use ketchup. Ketchup I do not care for. It's way too sweet for my tastes and I'd much rather dip my french fries in steak sauce or a combo of mustard and mayo. I could never eat scrambled eggs with a stream of ketchup. I tried making my own ketchup once and ended up throwing away the finished product. I don't think my heart was fully engaged in the project, or I lost patience.
It's early February, the Catskills keep getting dumps of snows, and my wife is away working in Chicago where they also just got a blizzard with twenty inches of snow. There is 6+ inches of ice dams on my roof and sadly the previous owners didn't use ice/water shield when the roof was redone. But there's water leaking in too many places.
I found a hilarious youtube video from a roofing contractor filling legs of panty hose with calcium chloride and using the salt sausages to cut channels through the ice for drainage.
What's better than the smell of baking bread, a slow simmering pot of stock or a pie in the oven? Nothing, of course. Though a dutch oven of texas chili on the stove and winning a lot of money in the lottery also brighten any day. Today, however I felt the urge inspired to start some kidney and dominican red beans in the crock pot.

A Military town located in Texas, where soldiers go to get screwed over by not only the local economy but also the over policy making pen pushers on FT. Hood. A place where you can purchase a 'stolen' car from a used dealership and yet the dealership does no wrong, God forbid you ever need something from the Copeland center, everyone has a job there, but no one knows whats going on, or how to do anything...The DoD must love giving the job position of "I cant help you you need to go to this office" only to be told by the next office the same thing. By another under qualified control freaks who were picked on in high school and are now taking it out on others and is only concerned about their next lunch break/ 5 O' clock off time. Killeen is not all bad though, if you are ever involved in an auto accident the person who hits you "Might, and I say again just 'Might' have insurance" Killeen is a place full of people just trying to get by, but cant because of the wannabe big shots at the top, and the lower level scumbags of petty crime at the very bottom.
You're moving to killeen?.....EWW!.... Killeen is like a golden toilet, everyone wants to shit on it.

Jala was anxious to return home after completing her mission. The pristine atmosphere of the Grid made her lungs ache. Her bronze skin began to itch despite the protective layer of mud she had applied. She closed her eyes and faded into the shadows at the far end of Addison's office. When she opened them again, her eyes beheld the golden glow of her father's reading lamp seeping through the edges of her bedroom door. She inhaled deeply and let her breath escape in a contented sigh - in spite of all the dangers in her world, it felt good to be home.
Her father looked up from his book expectantly as she walked into their small living room. Though he had seen many times how capable his daughter was, he still worried for her safety when she was on a mission. "It's done" was all she said as he moved to embrace her.
"Was it difficult? Did he put up a fight?" he tried to sound casual when in truth he could not wait a moment more to learn the details of her task.
"He tried. It was easy, Papa. So much so that I wonder why we haven't done this sooner." Jala grabbed a towel and walked toward the front door. "I'm going to wash up before the rendezvous. The others should be back soon."
She stepped out into an expansive courtyard that held a variety of communal resources. On her way to the bath house she stopped by the clinic to see her brother. She knew he would be worried about her as well, and wanted to reassure him that she was safe. She approached his cot and cringed at the pallor of his skin. His blue veins bulged in his arms and neck as his sunken eyes met her gaze.
"You made it!" he croaked out as she knelt by him to stroke his hair.
"You sound surprised, Jice! Do you have such little faith in me?" she teased. A broad grin stretched the skin across his face.
"Never a doubt, but I'm glad to see you just the same. I've been working on that new incantation I…" his voice was broken off by a series of deep coughs.
"You should be resting, not working!" Jala shot him a stern look.
"Sometimes I forget that I'm your older brother, Jala."
"Shall I send the nurse in on my way out?"
Jice glanced at the notebook on his desk and then closed his eyes and sighed. "I suppose you should. Thank you. Will you be by later?"
"Tonight's rendezvous might run late - tomorrow?"
"See you then, sis." Jice smiled up at her as she rose to leave.

Wendy Fleur- Queen of the World
Ever since I was born, I thought of myself as a princess. My parents always called me their little princess and I was very adept at throwing Queen-size tantrums every time my whim was not catered to instantly. I had the best of clothes, toys and every other thing that I could possibly demand. Growing up, I had more minions to keep me company than real friends. My classmates envied me my influential family and latest clothes, and my so-called friends were always a little jealous of me.
Now that I am a woman-child, many of my childhood traits have followed me into this phase of my life. I still feel whimsical. I still dream of owning all the riches in the world. And most importantly, I now desire my Knight-in-shining-armor.
Just like I dreamed of possessing the most fabulous clothes and jewels, I now desire the perfect arm-candy. Because I really don't think that anybody can actually be my equal, or my partner. I am one of a kind, created by the Lord Almighty to rule over all others and keep them in line.
When I take over my throne, everyone's first priority will be to fulfill all my demands and needs. They will have to make sure that no word of mine goes unheard and no desire of mine remains wanting.
I would be a fair Queen as long as I am contended. All the countries and continents under my rule shall thrive and no war or strife shall mar the peace in my kingdom. No threats, or violent overtures shall find place under my reign and only tranquility shall prevail. Everyone shall have sufficient resources to lead a healthy, happy and satiated life and none shall find reason to crib.
Now all that needs to be said is: Bow to your Queen, for she is your savior.
