Thousands of NHS staff have taken part in a day of action to support a nurse who was allegedly sacked after speaking out against cuts in services.
Unison said some workers conducted protests wearing gags to symbolise the plight of Karen Reissmann, from Manchester.
The psychiatric nurse was dismissed last month after being found guilty of gross misconduct by Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust.
Ms Reissmann has now started an appeal against her sacking.
Dave Prentis, Unison general secretary, said: "Karen has been treated disgracefully by the trust.
"It is a sad day for democracy when a nurse can be sacked from her job for speaking out against damaging healthcare cuts.
"Karen has been a nurse for 25 years and, unbelievably, on the same day she was suspended, she was also promoted by the trust.
"Manchester Health and Social Care Trust is in crisis - a fact that the public have a right to know.
"It is officially in turnaround and has to make £3m more cuts this year. Mental health is already a Cinderella service and these cuts will be extremely damaging for patients in the Manchester area."

"Strike action should be taken against doctor. Special arrangement should be made 4 the safety of nurses and doctor's degree MBBS should also dismiss" - Sara
"I just would like to say that Ms Reissmann spoke out against such cuts because they have an effect on her working standards that every nurse had to achieve when on training. She was clearly upset someone in position of power who does not understand much about care, except managing money. I think that the union should fight this and the goverment should provide strong recomendations so that such incompetence would be reprimanded as well." - Name and address supplied
"It's important that nurses feel able to speak out if they have concerns about patient care. Three years ago I was dismissed from a respiratory practice nurse job for high spending on preventive medication. No one looked at the care pathway for reductions in hospitalisation due to better preventive care. I successfully appealed and later wrote up the experience - see Gleeson C (2006). Quality improvement cost me my job.
Nursing Standard, 20, 26, 24. The need for nurses to have a voice in clinical governance is also discussed elsewhere - see Vere-Jones E (2007). The whistle-blowing dilemma. Nursing Times 103, 30, 16-17. I don' t know the details of Karen's case but hope she will pursue the appeal and I wish her all the best with it" - Name and address supplied
"I have been a practicing nurse for 30 years, and now find the way cut backs are affecting the care of patients and standards in nursing practice. I am horrified to read about the plight of Ms Reissmann, if the nurses cannot be the advocates of our patients, what is the future of nursing? Nurses being responsible for our actions in practice should go hand-in-hand with being able to speak out and protect the care we are to give. Is nursing becoming more of a business than patient care, and when are the healthcare cuts going to end? - Naana Lim, Howden, E.Yorks
"People who work with patients/clients are the only ones who know the pressure of work so, it has to be heard, and freedom of speech should be there in any profession" - Name and address supplied
"This is typical of the current approach to people who are passionate about defending the rights of those who cannot speak for themselves. I feel that the current "whistle blower" policy is a way of Trusts putting staff off alerting the general public to what is really going on in the NHS. Something desperately needs to be done to reverse this policy. I feel heartily sorry for Karen, she obviously cares deeply, and I wish her well with her appeal - Name and address supplied

Lemon extract is miraculous tool which kills cancer cells and is 10.000 times more effective that chemotherapy. Laboratories are interested in making a synthetic version that will bring huge profits. More than 20 laboratory tests, conducted in 1970, found that lemon extract destroys cancer cells and does not affect healthy cells. They also concluded that slows the growth of cancer and is better than chemotherapy. Lemon also acts on bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, regulates blood pressure, affects as an anti-depressants fighting stress and nervous disorders.

95% of the adult American population is apparently deficient in Vitamin D, and it seems the Crone is more deficient than most. She knows this because last week she had her annual physical. All her results came back a great deal better than she deserved, except for one–Vitamin D. Vitamin D is found in very few foods but is found in sunlight. It's neccessary for strong bones, and it is also believed to boost heart health and mental happiness. Adults are meant to have a reading of about 35. The Crone's was 7 and this week, due to the snow and the need for burrowing 'neath the blankets in a darkened room, it is probably registering only on a negative scale. The doctor prescribed a mega dose of the vitamin, to be taken once a week for 12 weeks, and then followed up with daily doses of an over-the-counter supplement. The only problem is that the Crone can't hack her way through the snow drifts to get to the pharmacy. The solution? She booked a vacation in Puerto Rico and leaves in 10 days. The temperature today in Vieques was 82 degrees F, compared to only 27 degrees in Washington DC. Stay tuned for the Irish girl's rare exposure to ultraviolet rays…and check out our Puerto Rican pied a terre here.

The death sentence against 34-year-old Vostrykau could have been carried out between April 13 and 29, since his last letter had been dated April 13 and the regional court received a report on enforcement of the death sentence on April 29, Censor.NET reports citing Belsat.
On April 5, Vostrykau's mother was allowed to meet her son in the pretrial detention facility #1. It was their last meeting.
Human rights activists suggest that another convicted to death Kirill Kazachek had also been executed. A resident of Mozyr was found guilty of the murder of two of his own children.
There is also a resident of Narovli Aliaksei Mikhalenia waiting on the death row. He still has the opportunity to appeal the verdict in the Supreme Court.
Meanwhile the European Union reaffirmed its strong opposition to capital punishment in all circumstances.
''The continued application of the death penalty goes counter to Belarus' stated willingness to engage with the international community, including the European Union, on the matter and to consider the introduction of a moratorium on the use of the death penalty,'' the statement by the EU spokesperson reads.
The European Union urges Belarus, the only country in Europe still applying capital punishment, to commute the remaining death sentences and to introduce without delay a moratorium on the death penalty as a first step towards its abolition.

4am, I was listening to the roar of high tide. Wild phrases surging onto land, washing into heaped stones. The dawn chorus sounded frantic, wind-wrecked, ecstatic. Rush hour traffic was outplayed by sea surge and gale. I opened the curtains. Gold on blue.
I've been waiting. Too much time indoors through a cruel Winter has left me ragged round the edges. My creativity has been a caged bird, reluctant to sing.
The back door sways wide on the hinge. I let the garden run through the house, muddy feet, leaf litter, wild sounds that call me, wonder if maybe.....this is Spring.

NEW YORK—"It's such an easy team to fall in love with," said Brenden Morrow, and it was true. Morrow has been around this game long enough to develop that grizzled-man look that you see in veteran fishermen. And when he looks at the Tampa Bay Lightning and sees youth, speed, potential and the most entertaining style in hockey. He knows.
"I would say when I played on Ken Hitchcock teams, he was just trying to bore the other team to death and take advantage of opportunities," said Morrow, before Game 7 of the Eastern Conference final against the New York Rangers Friday night. "Here, we have structure, this is how we're going to play defensively, but we have the freedom to be creative, to do things on the other side of the puck. No one does it better than the triplet line (of Tyler Johnson, Ondrej Palat and Nikita Kucherov), and they're producing at an incredible rate right now, so I think it just comes with the freedom and the creativity on the offensive side."
The Lightning enter Game 7 with a chance to reach the Stanley Cup final, at the beginning of a glorious future. Their top five playoff scorers are, in order, 24, 21, 24, 25 and 23. Their killer top defence pair are 24 and 28. They have a roster filled with upside and extra pieces that could become something: a 21-year-old defenceman with good possession numbers, a 20-year-old backup goalie whose athleticism and technique have been whispered about, a No. 3 pick who's a healthy scratch. They already have 18 skaters signed for next year.
But the NHL is designed to dismantle teams like this, or at least force them to make agonizing salary-cap choices. The Lightning are young, exciting, fresh and only have so many windows before the pain starts to kick in. The 36-year-old Morrow was one of the players who gave a speech at a team dinner just before the playoffs began, and he told his younger teammates about reaching the Stanley Cup final in his rookie year with Dallas in 2000, and never getting that far again.
"Chicago has Toews and Kane locked in for a long time, so they might have a few years," said Morrow. "Obviously, there's the talent of (Steven) Stamkos, but you just never know how long the triplet line can stay together. You've got to take advantage of the opportunities when you've got them.
"Top to bottom, this team has talked about that all year. Day one of camp, it was let's keep the puck out of our net, but don't have any regrets. Just because we're here doesn't mean we'll be here next year at this time."
The Lightning can sign Stamkos to a huge extension that will kick in after next season; Victor Hedman's inevitable extension, once completed, will hit the books in 2017; Johnson and Palat — along with 2013 No. 3 pick Jonathan Drouin, a healthy scratch in these playoffs — will be a restricted free agents in 2017, too. Next year should be fine; 2016 will be far more difficult, and it's the only reason that signing Stamkos to the kind of mega-extension that Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane got in Chicago could be anything close to a tough call.
Still, nobody might have a brighter future than the Lightning, and others are up against the wall already. The Rangers reached the Cup final last year and lost in five to the Los Angeles Kings, and this season New York won the Presidents' Trophy and are here again. But like the Chicago Blackhawks, the Rangers will hit salary-cap hell next season. New York has 15 players signed for $62.5 million (all figures U.S.) in 2015-16, against an expected $71-million cap. (Chicago is at $65 million for 15 players. That's what the mega-extensions can do to you.)
Every NHL team that's any good has a self-destruct button. You can lengthen the fuse, but it's difficult. So the moment is heightened. Henrik Lundqvist was talking about his experience in elimination games, and New York's, and he said, "Every year you learn about yourself, about the game, and then you bring it with you." You just can't always bring all your teammates with you, is all.
"I don't think guys talk about it, but . . . they know," said Rangers defenceman Dan Boyle, 38.
So both teams go into Game 7 trying to focus on the moment, because the future, however glorious, can quickly become too short.
"It's never easy," said Stamkos. "It's never easy making the playoffs, it's not easy getting this far. . . . We do have to realize how close we are, and you never want to waste this chance. Because it's so hard to get here."
"Over a career these situations don't happen (very often)," said Rangers winger Rick Nash, who will turn 31 in June. "You've got to relish them, and understand that these opportunities are sometimes the best chances you'll get."
Nash has played in two gold medal games, too. When the Rangers faced elimination in Game 6 he was asked how he blocked out the pressure on the morning of the game — basically, how not to worry about the grander possibilities and implications of failure — and he talked a lot about sticking to routine, about focusing on little things. Someone said, you make it sound easy. As he walked away, Nash said, "It's not."

Every family has unique interests and needs. Some families love camping and outdoor life, while others
would prefer a vacation in the city. While one family may find they solve life's challenges one way, other families might have completely different ways of dealing with issues. These same qualities that make a
family special can be applied to children in the foster care system.
We often garner tiny pieces of information about children as we scan over photolisting after photolisting.
Most often, we receive a paragraph or two about the child along with a photograph. Sometimes we might learn about their interests, favorites, and even their medical diagnosis. While this information is useful to families, these things are hardly representative of the whole of a child's young life. Many of the children in foster care have had experiences beyond the knowledge of the families looking at their picture.
As we search for children in the foster care system to match our family's needs, we must be aware of the limitations of information we can get. Sometimes we are unable to get more than a few blurbs about a kid. We can place these children in certain demographics and categories such as age, race, or disability level, but we are still limited in our knowledge of the child's personality, beliefs, and needs. It is possible that a child younger than your preferences is wise beyond his or her years, a child from an ethnic background may be
more open to other cultures, or a child with a disability may have already mastered the necessary skills to manage his or her issues.
Frequently, more information becomes available after a family submits their homestudy. Families who are
open to submitting on a variety of children are more likely to find the kids that are right for them. Opening
up your search preferences opens you up to the possibility that some kids might surprise you. Sometimes
we find what we are looking for in the most unexpected places.
Some families have concerns about submitting on many children, especially ones that don't fit their frame of preferences. Only you and your family can ultimately decide what is right for you. You know your strengths and weaknesses better than anyone else. If a caseworker considers you for a child, you have an
opportunity to gain more information about the child or children you have submitted on. You may find that
a child you would have normally passed over based on your demographic preferences is exactly what you
are looking for. At this point in the process, before things progress to far, you can always choose to walk away from a child that does not meet your family's needs.
If you submit your homestudy often for a variety of children, it may happen that you are considered for more than one child at a time. In these cases, it is important to be aware of your options as well as the child's needs. Carefully weigh your options and make sure you have as much information as possible as you move forward. Know that while you may choose to proceed with one child or sibling group, it may ultimately not
work out. At the same time, it is unfair to another child and their team to let them believe you are interested when your heart belongs to someone else.
Openness in the searching and submission process will help your family gain a better understanding about available children. At a Family for Every Child, we strive to support you through your adoption journey. We
are always available to answer questions about the foster care adoption process. If you have any questions or need to discuss the challenges you are facing, our door is always open.

Thought and Knowledge: a Guide to Critical Thinking
In this third edition of her best-selling book, Halpern applies the theories and research of cognitive psychology to the development of critical thinking and learning skills. As in many of her works, this volume is distinguished by its clear writing style and numerous everyday examples. International in scope and mammoth in magnitude, Halpern takes a close look at the new problems straining Earth's resources and threatening the very continuance of life on our planet. While education and business as usual may not provide thoughtful perspectives and creative solutions to these new problems, a genuine commitment to an educated, thinking populace will. This volume was written as tangible evidence of that commitment. New and expanded coverage includes: * greater emphasis on the reciprocal relationship between thinking and writing, plus guidelines for using writing as a way of enhancing thinking skills; * numerous prompts for reflective questioning and responding; * analyzing visual arguments; * asking questions as a means of understanding complex information; * accessing information when solving problems, making decisions, and analyzing arguments; and * thinking critically about controversial research. This volume has an accompanying workbook, Thinking Critically About Critical Thinking, that features numerous applications of critical thinking skills. An instructor's edition of this workbook containing sample syllabi, answers to exercises, and suggestions for teaching and assessing critical thinking is free upon adoption.

A place where readers can meet African American independent authors of children books
This is a place where readers can meet African American independent authors, illustrators and small publishers of children books... join us on our journey as we create new characters and worlds.
Hello Everyone,
Thank you for stopping by and checking out our books. My name is Jacquitta A. McManus and when I started my journey to build my publishing company, Worlds To Discover, I found a big void that I was compelled to help fill.
For African American authors, illustrators and publishers of children books, there is a lack of websites dedicated to help promote them. I found that to be a problem. I knew if it was a problem for me then it had to be a problem for others. That void and lack of presence is why Inside The Books was formed.

In May, Rodrigo Duterte was elected president of the Philippines, winning 39% of the vote. He is the first resident of the island of Mindanao to hold the office, making him a political outsider. An unconventional political figure, he is considered populist in the mold of Turkish leader Recep Erdogan or Indian PM Narendra Modi.
Although Philippine economic growth has been generally strong, with per capita real GDP rising 4.2% last year, the general feeling was that only the political elites were benefiting from the growth. Crime and poor infrastructure were the primary concerns of the election and Duterte promised to address both of these issues.
In fact, on the former, Duterte has unleashed a crackdown on drug dealers1 with such fury and lack of due process that he has been facing criticism from the West. Duterte's response has been to vigorously2 reject these charges and, in general, opinion polls suggest the policy is popular with the general public.
Perhaps the most controversial action Duterte has taken has been to embrace China and reject its long-standing ally, the United States. If this rupture in relations continues, it will significantly change regional geopolitics.
In Part 1 of this report, we will begin with an examination of the geography of the Philippines, discussing its geopolitical importance. From there, we will offer a history of U.S./Philippine relations. In Part 2, we will use this history to discuss Duterte's recent foreign policy moves. It does appear that Duterte is moving his country to at least a neutral stance and downgrading the American relationship. If true, it would seem that one of the signature foreign policy goals of the Obama administration, the "pivot" to Asia, has essentially failed. We will conclude with the potential impact of Duterte's actions and their prospective effects on financial markets.
Geopolitics of the Philippines
The Philippines is part of the first island chain that surrounds China.
(Courtesy of Stratfor.com)
The map above shows the key chokepoints for shipping in the Far East. As shown on the map below, the U.S. has the Sembawang Naval Base near the Strait of Malacca which, in case of an American blockade, would force shipments on the way to China well into Indonesia. Even if they got past U.S. interdiction, U.S. control of the waters around the Philippines, Taiwan and Japan means the U.S. could likely close off most shipping to China.3

This chart shows the competing claims in the South China Sea. China has claimed the "nine-dash line" that virtually controls all the waters in the area, including Scarborough Shoal, which has also been claimed by the Philippines.
China's Navy4 took effective control of the shoal in 2012. In response, the Philippines, under Duterte's predecessor, Benigno Aquino III, sued in the Permanent Court of Arbitration at The Hague. In July, the court returned its verdict, strongly rejecting China's claims of the nine-dash line and ruling in favor of the Philippines.5 China was furious about the outcome of the trial and vowed to ignore it. As with most international law, there is no enforcement mechanism (unless, of course, the U.S. decides to intervene), therefore winning in court was more of a moral victory. On the other hand, it made China look bad and would likely lead other nations to take similar steps, further weakening China's image.
Although the U.S. pivot to Asia is not officially about containing China, it is generally accepted (and rather obvious) that the U.S. intends to use the island chains to prevent China from becoming a true "blue water" navy.
(Courtesy of Stratfor.com)
As this map shows, the Philippines are a critical element of the first island chain. Thus, keeping this island nation as an ally is an important goal for the U.S.
A Short History
Although human history in the Philippines is long (it's estimated that the first known human settlement was 67,000 years ago), our focus will be on the period of American involvement. The U.S. first became involved in the Philippines as part of the Spanish-American War. This war against Spain began in 1898 with its primary theater in the Caribbean.6 Prior to that war, in 1896, the Philippine revolution against Spanish rule was already underway. The Spanish-American War did spread to the Philippines, where the U.S. decisively defeated the Spanish Navy in the Battle of Manila Bay. Philippine rebel groups initially supported U.S. actions and increased their attacks on Spanish forces. By June 12, 1896, the rebels, who controlled nearly all the land area of the Philippines except Manila, declared independence. Neither the U.S. nor Spain recognized the rebel government.
The Treaty of Paris in 1898 ended the Spanish-American War and led Spain to cede Cuba, the Philippines and other territories to the U.S. The independent Philippine government objected to the treaty and tensions rose. American forces controlled Manila, while the countryside was in the hands of various rebel groups. By February 1899, war had broken out between U.S. and Filipino forces, marking the beginning of the Philippine-American War. In June, the independent government of the Philippines formally declared war on the U.S. American forces prevailed and the conflict officially ended on July 2, 1902, although insurgent groups continued to fight well into 1913 with the last of the insurgents surrendering on the island of Mindanao.
The U.S. was conflicted over its new imperialist position. The founding of the U.S. was based on the desire for independence from a colonial power and so gaining colonies itself was troubling. On the other hand, as noted above, the Philippines are a geopolitical prize. If the U.S. had not taken control, it is highly likely that European powers or Japan would have moved to overthrow the nascent Philippine government. Faced with that prospect, the McKinley administration reluctantly decided to take control of Philippine territory. However, given America's history, the U.S. steadily moved to create conditions that could grant the country its independence.
The process toward independence accelerated during the Great Depression as labor unions and sugar interests did not want to compete with Philippine low labor costs or cheap sugar. In 1933, Congress passed (over President Hoover's veto) the Hare-Hawes-Cutting Act, which started the process of independence. However, the Philippine legislature rejected the proposal, opposing parts of the bill that gave the U.S. control of naval bases in the Philippines. Under the Roosevelt administration, the Tydings-McDuffie Act established the Commonwealth of the Philippines, which gave the country its own constitution and self-governing legislature, although foreign policy would remain under the U.S. After a decade, the Philippines would be granted independence. This bill was approved.
The move to independence was interrupted by Imperial Japan's attack on the U.S. in 1941. Ten hours after the assault on Pearl Harbor, Japan launched a surprise attack on Clark Air Base. Over the next year, Japan took control of the Philippines as Gen. Douglas MacArthur declared Manila an "open city" to prevent its destruction. Japan declared the Philippines independent in 1943; however, it

Temple 71, Richmond 64
Scootie Randall scored 21 points, leading Temple to a 71-64 win over Richmond in an Atlantic 10 game Wednesday at the Liacouras Center in Philadelphia.
The Spiders (13-9, 3-4 Atlantic 10) started slowly, trailing 38-30 at halftime. Temple, which retired the jersey of 1956 Final Four MVP Hal Lear at halftime, seemed to leave some momentum behind in the locker room. Richmond heated up from beyond the arc to get back in the game, but the Owls closed strong in coming back from a tough loss to nationally ranked Butler over the weekend.
Khalif Wyatt had 19 points for the Owls (14-6, 3-3), while Anthony Lee added 12 points and Rahlir Hollis-Jefferson scored 11.
Darien Brothers led Richmond with 22, but Kendall Anthony was the only other Spider in double figures, finishing with 10. The Spiders went 10-for-27 (37 percent) from 3-point range, 11-for-26 (42 percent) on 2-point shots.
Temple dominated the board 38-24 and shot 48 percent from the floor.
The Spiders were again without junior forward Derrick Williams. He missed his eighth game in a row with a sprained ankle, but he could return to play Saturday against Xavier. The Owls travel to play at local rival Saint Joseph's on Saturday.

Ginzburg House was built in 1910-12 by two Odessian architects A.Minkus and F.Troupyansky and is rightfully considered the first Kiev skyscraper. The building had 8 stories (17 meters/56 ft) and stood on the top of the Pechersk Plateau that made the building appear even more visually imposing. Absolutely every detail of Kiev could be seen from the top of the viewing platform.
Ginzburg House was an icon of that time and soon was nicknamed the Paris of Kiev and valued at the time of 573,400 Imperial Rubles. The building featured innovations that at time were not seen anywhere before, such as a parking garage.
The façade of the structure consisted of expensive plastering and sculptures, and the structure was crowned with five large wooden towers. To further enrich the structure, the mirrors were used for the windows of the first and third floors instead of glass. The interior of the house featured a large marble staircase with iron railings and oak handles, parquet floors, rich plastering for the.
Ginzburg House was partially ruined during the WWII in 1941. And in early 1950s it was almost completely destroyed. In 1944 the City Council announced architectural competition for a new hotel. More than 20 different variants were presented for the contest in which architects from Kiev, Moscow and Leningrad took part.
In 1954 the hotel construction began. It was carried out by the following architects: Anatoliy Dobrovolsky, Borys Pryimak, Avraam Miletsky and others. The construction went on for years, and was constantly changed to please numerous politicians of that time which in the end resulted into the construction we see today. The official opening took place on the 28th of September, 1961. The building was also technically advanced and was the first in Kiev to have a lift in addition to luxuries such as electricity, fire escape provisions, central heating and ventilation.
In 2001 Hotel Moscow was renamed into Hotel Ukraine for the honour of the 10th anniversary of the Independence of Ukraine. In 2005 Hotel Ukraine became a winner of a business rating "Leader of the industry" in the sphere "Hotels" and a winner of a competition "UkrHotel" as the best hotel of Ukraine.

Treating Secondary Infections while Treating Ich
Posted By: peterinwa <email@example.com>
Date: Tuesday, 3 December 2002, at 9:21 p.m.
Because Ich parasites burrow under the skin to feed and mature, then break out of the skin to go on to the next stage in their life cycle, they create open wounds in the skin of the fish they infect. This can lead to secondary infections.
Does anyone treat for these secondary infections while treating for Ich? Or does everyone simply wait to see if they appear?
I do remember once posting my thoughts about the negative aspects of a medicine being designed to treat many different maladies (this is generally not good for people) and it was pointed out to me that the advantage of this is that one malady may we

Apple Inc.'s AAPL, +0.17% 12-month price target was increased to $150 from $130 at Stifel on Thursday. The brokerage also reiterated a hold rating. The target boost comes two weeks ahead of Apple's next quarterly earnings report, which Stifel analyst Aaron Rakers expects to be in line with forecasts. Stifel increased its 2017 and 2018 revenue and earnings per share estimates to reflect higher iPhone shipments. In 2017, it now expects iPhone shipments to grow 4% to 224.7 million from an earlier forecast of 215.7 million. In 2018, which will include the company's hotly-anticipated iPhone 8, it's projecting an 11.5% increase in shipments to 250.6 million, compared with 230.5 million previously. In 2015, Apple sold a record 231 million iPhone units. That number slipped to 211.9 million last year, but analysts anticipate a rebound with the new iPhone cycle. Shares of Apple gained 0.4% to $141.30 in premarket trade. They've increased 17.2% in the past three months and 31.3% in the past year, outperforming both the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.71% and S&P 500 SPX, +0.51% The Dow is up 3% in the past three months and nearly 13% in the past year.

Background info:1) FBI sued for keeping secret their file on journalist Michael Hastings
"According to a friend, Hastings warned his colleagues over email just hours before his death that he was working on a big story and that the FBI would likely be investigating his associates."
User comment: It's highly doubtful that the FBI would not destroy anything incriminating or release unintelligibly redacted copy on the issue. These folks are highly professional, superbly trained and disciplined criminals. They have thousands of ways to avoid this kind of disclosure. One could not expect the FBI Director to turn an above top secret file loose in which he, himself, directly ordered the hit, could one?
2) Selective silencing: Was Michael Hastings murdered?
"Based on my research as a professionally licensed investigator with nearly 30 years of experience, I wish to be on record that it is my professional opinion that investigative journalist Michael Hastings was murdered...." at CanadaFreePress
3) wikipedia excerpt
Michael Mahon Hastings (January 28, 1980 – June 18, 2013) was an American journalist, author, contributing editor to Rolling Stone, and reporter for BuzzFeed.[4] He was raised in New York, Canada, and Vermont, and attended New York University. Hastings rose to prominence with his coverage of the Iraq War for Newsweek in the 2000s. After his fiancee, Andrea Parhamovich, was killed when her car was ambushed in Iraq, Hastings wrote his first book, I Lost My Love in Baghdad: A Modern War Story (2008), a memoir about his relationship with Parhamovich and the violent insurgency that took her life.4) Forbes Magazine Demonstrates "Car Hacking" (the Michael Hastings Murder Method?)
He received the George Polk Award for "The Runaway General" (2010), a Rolling Stone profile of General Stanley McChrystal, commander of NATO's International Security Assistance Force in the Afghanistan war. The article documented the widespread contempt for civilian officials in the US government by the general and his staff and resulted in McChrystal's resignation. Hastings followed up with The Operators (2012), a detailed book account of his month-long stay with McChrystal in Europe and Afghanistan.
Hastings became a vocal critic of the surveillance state during the investigation of reporters by the US Department of Justice in 2013, referring to the restrictions on the freedom of the press by the Obama administration as a "war" on journalism.[5] His last story, "Why Democrats Love To Spy On Americans", was published by BuzzFeed on June 7.[6][7] Hastings died in a fiery high-speed automobile crash on June 18, 2013 in Los Angeles, California.[8]
"This fact, that a car is not a simple machine of glass and steel but a hackable network of computers, is what Miller and Valasek have spent the last year trying to demonstrate"

From today's perspective, it's easy to say that if the Pontiac G8 GT came out five years ago, General Motors wouldn't be in the precarious financial position it is in today. That's not going to stop us from saying it anyway.
The G8 GT is big, comfortable, powerful, and it handles better than any large sedan from an American company ever has. This is probably because it is built in Australia, but we won't hold that against it.
Click here for our full review of the Pontiac G8 GT.
If you could ignore the V-8 gas mileage, it wouldn't be hard to imagine the G8 GT being the best selling car in America. Wait, gas is cheap again? Where's the closest Pontiac dealer? They closed it?! Darn.
Buying American never felt so foreign.

He looks like the Grinch, but bigger.
Hating Christmas
No one actually knows why Grinchzilla hates Christmas. Oh sure, there are theories. Some say he was always on the Naughty list, and wanted revenge. Some thought his mother didn't love him enough. Santa T-Rex thinks his heart is two sizes too small. Elfeking thinks that would be scientifically impossible. Whatever the reason, Grinchzilla hated Christmas, and sought to destroy it. Years later, Grinchzilla would invade Hoth and enslave the Wampa population to do his bidding.
The Battle For Christmas.
After building up his forces in preparation for his most recent campaign against Christmas, Grinchzilla launched an all out attack on the North Pole. Realizing the situation was dire, Santa T-Rex traveled to Monster Island to enlist the help of T-Rex and Godzilla. The two monsters decided to put aside their rivalry for the sake of Christmas. Meanwhile, Elfeking led the elves into battle, where they were successful in defeating Grinchzilla's Wampa army. Grinchzilla was enraged that he had been defeated by mere elves and Reindeer. He retreated to his fortress, however Santa T-Rex, T-Rex, and Godzilla broke into the fortress and challenged Grinchzilla in combat. Angered by the defeat of his army, fueled by his hatred for Christmas, Grinchzilla attacked the three monsters. Grinchzilla managed to hold his own for a while, but when it seemed like victory was his, Santa T-Rex fired his Christmas Beam. Severely weakened by this attack, filled with the warm emotions he had loathed his entire life, Grinchzilla could do nothing, as Godzilla and T-rex delivered the final blow.

- Grinchzilla is my third Christmas Kaiju, and by far my latest.
- The idea of Grinchzilla was inspired by MaxVonDraken's "Kaiju Kings Christmas".
- Grinchzilla is my first villainous Christmas Kaiju.
- my inspiration to give Grinchzilla a page of his own comes from my friend Scoobydooman. Thanks bro.
- I do not own any of the images. They belong to Dr Suess and Toho.

Handy Tools
This page includes downloads and/or links for tools that I have found to be handy.
The first item is a set of shortcuts to various Windows XP system tools that are useful for tracking down problems and tuning poorly performing systems. Except for containing the program TweakUI, eveything else is a shortcut to a tool already included in Windows XP (except Group Policy Editor is found only in XP Pro). Normal access to these tools is located in a large number of different places, and can be a pain to track down and use through the normal interfaces, thus this set of shortcuts can save a great deal of time and effort. They are particularly handy if temporarily copied or moved to the Desktop during a tuning/debugging session.
Download the self-extracting file and save it somewhere that is handy, say the desktop. Upon execution, this file produces a folder called Handy_Shortcuts. This folder contains three folders as follows:

Trigger Warning: For people who have experienced sexual assault of any kind, this post contains content that may be triggers for you. If you have concerns about handling trigger responses, I encourage you to not read this post.
General Note: The "she" in this post is a friend of mine. I asked for and received full permission to share this post, including a brief passage of her story. I also gave her full editorial control. She asked for no changes. Without her permission, this post would not be published, so I thank my friend for her trust and bravery.
It's 4:20 right now and I know this blank page will soon be filled with words that have crawled hand tooth and nail from dark, secret places in my heart, revealing themselves and demanding attention.
As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse, this past week of the 2016 Presidential campaign has been rough. With nearly a dozen sexual assault survivors coming forward (so far) to share their stories, the last few days have been especially hard. Each woman's experience is uniquely hers. Disparate stories, different contexts in different cities that took place in different years with one common thread: they each state that they were attacked by the same predator.
A famous man. A "ladies" man. A man who has publicly bragged for years about forcing himself on women. A man name Donald Trump. "Grab them by the pussy", he flippantly joked, "You can do anything."
The first time I heard those braggart words, I vomited, barely making it to the kitchen sink in time. While scooping up and tossing out the dinner I had just puked into unwashed glasses and half-filled mugs of coffee, I had to stop long enough to consciously force myself to breathe in, slowly out.
Breathe in, slowly out; it is my mantra during extreme triggers and flashbacks. Breathe in, slowly out; an exercise I've learned in therapy to help prevent or stop a panic attack. It doesn't always work, but sometimes it's the only rope I have to cling to. So I breathed on.
Scrubbing clean those cups and mugs and plates and forks, I felt hot anger coursing through my body. Scouring clean the sink, the faucet, the backsplash, the counter, it felt like a bad dream, the same one I had as a child each time he forced me to do despicable things.
But this wasn't a bad dream. No. Just like all all those times before, my brain was tricking me, working itself into overdrive to protect me from the reality of what I had just heard. Still wet with the stench of Clorox and soap, I crawled into bed and cried.
I snuggled with my deaf dog Edison, a healing magic unicorn if there ever was one. I took a nap. I got up. I made coffee. I took a double-dose of Klonopin and I carried on. That's what we do, survivors. We carry on.
I spent the rest of the week carefully managing the lurid details of sexual assault, bombarding me from, of all places, the news. It's a delicate balance, staying informed without letting powerful triggers send you into a tailspin, and the news of this past week has been one non-stop, ass-kicking trigger for millions of Americans including me.
As I do sometimes, I have taken to social media more than once this week to speak up as a survivor and for survivors, to share my story again, to defend these women I do not know, to explain to those who do not understand what it is like to be sexually assaulted, to rage against rape culture and victim shaming and to implore people to understand that "He Said, She Said" doesn't even begin to scratch the surface.
Having shared my story in a very public forum and having spoken out about rape and rape culture many times, people frequently reach out to me to share their story, to connect, I imagine, with someone who understands, to find resources or to express gratitude for what they call my bravery, though I am uncomfortable with that characterization.
For the record, I don't feel brave. I don't share my story and speak out because I am compelled by some Polly Anna altruistic notion that I can stop rape with just my voice. No, my ego isn't that big and my story isn't all that special or unique. No, I am not being brave when I speak out. For me, speaking out is a selfish act of healing, but fuck it. I think I've earned that right every now and then.
I am always honored when someone trusts me, a complete stranger, with intimate, violent and disturbing details about their own assault. Often, I find myself wanting for words to express something meaningful to them, but I try. Even if I fail at empowering or inspiring dialogue, I can at least acknowledge and validate his or her experience. Sometimes, that's enough. Sometimes, that's all they need.
Then came Day Eight.
Last night, sitting on my front porch, enjoying the solace of a Friday night on my own, letting go of a long week with a cigarette and a glass of wine and planning this weekend's photo shoot, I got a message on social media. It was from a friend.
"About a month ago, I was raped and left in the woods naked".
In the heavy hard-stop pause of that period, my eyes instantly welled up and another piece of me died. With each sucker-punching sentence, it became harder to see the words through the levee of tears ready to spill over. Finished, yet dumbfounded, I read her story again.
'"About a month ago, I was raped and left in the woods naked".
It's hard to comprehend those words and all that they mean, let alone the rest of my friend's story, in one reading. Or two. Or three.
I took a deep breath. I set down my phone. I pounded my fists against the growing, aching knot in my stomach. I walked inside and I began to pace- I do that during flashbacks, when the trigger is too powerful or comes out of nowhere or the breathing isn't working. It's my tell.
When I start pacing, my husband knows to stop, to turn off the TV, to check in with me, to be silent or embrace me or leave the room or talk me through my breathing- whatever I need at that moment. Last night, with my husband several thousand miles away, I was left to pace, this time in circles around the dining room table, my mind racing, my guard up, frantically checking locked doors that I knew were locked but was compelled to check anyway. I reined in my flight response by sheer will alone.
I wanted to run. I wanted to drive away into the night. Then through daylight. Through border towns and corn fields and miles and miles of desolate road. But to where and to what end? My demons travel with me no matter where I go and rape occurs every hour of every day in every town in every state- and beyond. Rape, like oxygen, is everywhere.
In the aftermath of sexual assault, flight is never really an option. It took me years of running to figure that out. No, the only tool survivors have is to fight. So I grabbed the closest weapons at hand: another bottle of wine, some more smokes, a triple-dose of Klonopin and an extra dose of Xanax. Blue and yellow have become my signature colors this past week.
Once I got myself to an emotionally and psychologically safe place, my friend and I exchanged a few messages. My friend bravely trusted me with additional details that have only been shared with a handful of other people.
My friend has set out on a path to healing. My friend is strong and focused and determined in all aspects of life, and I know my friend will heal and move on. My friend has created a small support network and knows I will be there in any way I can. I am proud of my friend and honored that this story was entrusted with me, but I am also sad, angry and I want to scream.
I am sad because this happened to my friend. I am sad that it happened to me. I am sad that I understand all too well the long journey ahead for my friend. I am sad that so many men and women have to put back together the pieces of their life, knowing full well that they will never truly be the same again. I am sad because survivors' friends and loved ones often feel powerless to help. I am sad that I wasted over thirty years of my life suppressing and avoiding my own sexual assaults. I am sad that I have PTSD.
I am angry that women, men and children are still being raped in 2016. I could spit bullets knowing that predators truly believe that they are entitled to do what they want to our bodies without consent, that they will use power in all it's forms to demean and dehumanize us. I am pissed off that our stories and our experiences are frequently dismissed as "boys will be boys" or "locker room banter". I want to scream when our motives for speaking out are questioned. My blood boils when people choose to be ignorant to this epidemic that is causing such heartbreak and destruction.
One silver lining, as small as it may be, is that I'm glad I am self-aware enough to know that I do not and should not own a gun, ever, because when the justice system re-victimizes us or fails us, I'm not sure I could stop myself from using it.
I am profoundly grateful that I married a man who is patient with me, who supports me in ways I could never put into words, who doesn't watch me try to heal from the sidelines but actively participates and does the work himself.
I am a better man because of the friends and strangers who reached out to me after I disclosed my abuse, sharing their story with me. I am proud to work with a team of truly good, decent, loving human beings who know my story and support me on my journey. I am blessed to have people in my life, both the inner circle and on the periphery, who offer support and encouraging words.
But, at this moment, at 4:20, the real silver lining is that my friend is already a survivor and has taken the first step towards healing. The term survivor is not binary, it is not a before and after proposition. It is a spectrum, a process, a journey, an adventure and it ain't easy. My friend is already surviving, less than a month after her assault, and I know she will go on to accomplish every goal and make her dreams come true.

To Thomas Jefferson from "A Lover of his Country," 9 May 1802
From "A Lover of his Country"
Petersburg Va. May 9th. 1802
Some Time in February last I wrote to You—to which I beg Reference concerning the Opinion I then entertained of You and your proceedings—Since then I have waited with Impatience for either a private or public Declaration of what You and your Tribe of foreign Outcasts really had at Heart—but that Declaration has not yet appeared—but you and your jacobinic-Democratic Tribe of Sycophants still continue to carry on Your hellish Deeds—which I pray God may not prove the Destruction of this Country—which all the powers of that warlike Nation Britain could not do—even Tommy Jeffersons Bosom Friend France endeavoured to injure us—but by the prudent Conduct of your predecessor John Adams—their Designs were frustrated—even since they have set You by their midnight Machinations into the presidential chair—exasperated at your mean-low-unbecoming Behaviour—are detaining our Ship in their Harbours—contrary to the Inclination of the Seamen—these and a great many Hardships we endure are on account of your proceedings—I beseech you in the Name of God—of every thing that is sacred—and in the Name of every American to alter Your System of Conduct—do you or can you suppose that Men who have fought hard in Defence of their Liberty—and who have inculcated true federal Republicanizm into the Minds of their Children—I say can or will these Men and their Sons allow you to keep your present Tract long—No they cannot—they lay their Grievances before You—instead of lessening them—You tenfold increase them—under the cloak of Œconomy—how many Sums of the public Money has been put to Use—for which Use you can find no Law to authorise You—I do not say that You squander the public Money—but it is done by your Sycophants—
Not content with being made president—You are eternally upbraiding Mr. [Adams] our late Worthy President—with things that You yourself do in every point—God knows—had you followed Mr. Adams's System of Cond[uct] America would have been better off—than it is—or is likely to be during Your Administration—
I advise You for your own Sake as well as for the Sake of our Country—to reform Your Conduct like a true Repentant and let the Americans—more particularly the Virginians see they were not mistaken in the Choice of President, for Sir if you do not—I could almost venture to swear that in the Course of two Years or perhaps less Time you have not one real Friend—for those You have here and in Richmond are daily—nay hourly forsaking You—even Callender whom you always upheld has entirely forsaken Your Cause—Had I seen such a Letter as this addressed to You twelve Months ago—I should have thought the Writer insane—but Sir when You consider the many Hardships We are likely to undergo—nay are now suffering—I say if You consider that all the evils we endure originate from Your imprudence—you cannot for a moment blame Me—with either impudence or presumption In Hopes that the feeble Efforts of a Youth of fifteen—may in some Measure assist in the Reformation of the Conduct of the president of the United States—I beg leave to subscribe myself

I WROTE TO YOU: an author signing himself "A Lover of His Country" wrote to TJ from Petersburg on 10 Mch. 1802.
TJ pardoned and remitted the fine for James Thomson CALLENDER, who had been convicted under the Sedition Act in 1800. The journalist became embittered by his failure to receive an office under the Republican administration, seeking in particular the Richmond postmastership. In February 1802, he joined Henry Pace in publishing a Federalist newspaper, the Richmond Recorder: or, Lady's and Gentleman's Miscellany, which became the mouthpiece for attacks on the Virginia Republican elite. The Baltimore Republican or, Anti-Democrat of 8 May charged that Callender lacked "political honesty" and had become "almost federal" in his praise of James A. Bayard (ANB description begins John A. Garraty and Mark C. Carnes, eds., American National Biography, New York and Oxford, 1999, 24 vols. description ends ; DVB description begins John T.
