Ed Miliband has urged traditional Labour voters to reject Scottish independence by promising to start work on devolving more powers to Holyrood as soon as he is elected Prime Minister.
The Labour leader used a visit to Dundee to announce a new "contract" with the people of Scotland consisting of five pledges that would be included in the first Queen's Speech after the May 2015 general election.
They were headed by the promise of a new Scotland Act that would give MSPs tax-raising powers to raise about 40 per cent of their £30 billion annual budget.
Mr Miliband said he would enshrine in law the recommendations of the party's devolution commission, which said Holyrood should be given greater powers over income tax and responsibility for housing benefit and the work programme.
Both sides of the referendum debate agree that traditional Labour voters will decide the result of September's referendum, with the SNP arguing that a Yes vote would allow them to "reclaim" their party's socialist roots.
With opinion polls showing the largest number of Scots want Holyrood to get extra powers, the separatists are also claiming a Yes vote is the only way this can be achieved.
It is understood Mr Miliband deliberately chose Dundee, a Nationalist stronghold thanks to its two SNP MSPs and SNP-run council, to debunk this claim.
The Labour leader said: "A year from now, I hope to be Prime Minister of the whole of the United Kingdom. And I want that to include Scotland.
"And today I want to lay out my guarantees for Scotland – the five things that I promise you, the people of Scotland, that a Labour Government will do one year from now in our first Queen's Speech."
He concluded: "These aren't the empty assumptions of the SNP's White Paper. These are cast iron assurances of what I will deliver as Prime Minister."
As well as devolving more powers, Mr Miliband promised to restore the 50p income tax band for high earners and the 10p band for the least well-off workers.
He guaranteed that all young Scots unemployed for a year would get a job and electricity and gas bills would be frozen. In addition, he promised to ban "exploitative" zero-hours contracts.
The Labour leader repeated his argument that such improvements can only be made if Scotland remains part of the UK because separation would see them compete against each other on policies such as corporation tax "in a race to the bottom".
Speaking during a visit to a Michelin tyre factory in Dundee, he also denied he was acting out of self-interest because it would be much harder for Labour to win general elections without Scotland.
Mr Miliband argued that the future of the Union was a "much bigger" question than the prospects of any political party.
Stewart Maxwell, an SNP MSP, said: "Ed Miliband's speech today had nothing to offer the debate on Scotland's future – the fact remains that only a Yes vote guarantees more powers.
"And only a Yes vote in September guarantees we always get the governments we vote for and never again have to put up with Westminster Tory governments we didn't elect."

Erster Fisch : 1972
Bio: I started fishing when I was a little kid , my father often took me out to fish for cod, pike and perch and even when I didn't catch anything, just being outside, in the middle of untamed nature was just great! Now it has become like a "need" to be out in nature and fishing for big pike. I do most of my fishing in my home waters where I have been casting lures for the last 30 years.
My biggest pike so far weighed in at 16,5kg for 126cm long, such a awesome fish that I caught during a competition! I have about 50 pikes over 10kg so far and my goal this year is to catch a 15kg+ beast from my usual venue. I also love to fish for other species such as perch , walleye , trout and arctic-char.
Where do i fish: Mostly I fish in the West of Sweden, I do almost all of my fishing in lakes and rivers, but sometimes i go for sea fishing up in Norway for cod and giant halibut.
Fishing techniques: I love to fish with soft baits and vertical style fishing for the big pike, sometimes I fly fish for them. But mainly use spinning gear, which for me is the technique I get the most fun out of.

EXOVA, the Edinburgh-based materials testing group, has agreed a £620 million takeover after facing significant challenges amid the downturn in the oil and gas sector in which it does much of its business.
Directors of Exova have recommended an offer for the firm from London-based Element Materials Technology three weeks after the company said it was talking to three potential bidders.
Exova chief executive Ian El-Mokadem played down the likely impact on jobs in Scotland. The company employs around 200 in Scotland in head office functions and laboratories in Edinburgh, Hillington and Aberdeen out of a global total of 4,200.

But the deal will likely see the country lose another of the stock market-listed firms which help maintain the credibility of Scotland as a corporate centre and generate valuable work for advisory firms such as lawyers and accountants.
US private equity firm Clayton Dubilier & Rice will net around £330m for its 54 per cent stake in Exova.
Mr El-Mokadem is in line to receive around £5m for his 2m shares in the company he has run since 2011.
Allister Langlands, the oil services heavyweight who chairs Exova, said the proposed deal would allow shareholders to realise the value of the group's opportunities with certainty. "This represents a good outcome for shareholders and the combination of Exova and Element creates a global leader in the testing market," said Mr Langlands who is set to net around £450,000 for his Exova shares.
However, the deal provides a further indication of how tough times in the oil and gas sector are impacting on Scotland.
Explaining the rationale for it in a statement, Exova said the company's exposure to the oil and gas sector had weighed on its share price. The fall in the crude price since the company listed in 2014 and resulting cuts in activity in oil and gas sector activity have presented significant challenges.
Exova, which tests metals used in oil and gas facilities, has highlighted the effect of cuts in spending in the North Sea .
The company has used acquisitions to diversify to help reduce its reliance on the oil and gas market. However, it said: "Beyond the current financial year and in the event that the Group is successful in completing its current pipeline of anticipated acquisitions, the level of financial leverage within the Group may constrain its ability to finance further material acquisitions with borrowings."
Exova added that it was unclear when CD&R could sell down its holding in the market.
But Mr El Mokadem dismissed suggestions the proposed takeover was an admission of defeat by Exova. He said: "We have obviously had one headache which has been persistent ... that's oil and gas but now it's only nine per cent of sales. The rest of the group has been performing well."
The takeover should create a really powerful force in the global testing business by combining two complementary businesses. Both firms have oil and gas businesses but Exova will bring expertise in markets such as fire testing to the group.
Mr El Mokadem said it was likely the group would have headquarters in London.
Asked about the potential impact on jobs in Scotland he said there was little overlap between the two businesses. "This is all about growth," said Mr El Mokadem., adding: "I don't think colleagues should be that worried about this."
Private equity-backed Element is offering 240p for each share in Exova. Qualifying shareholders will also get a 2.35p per share dividend for 2016.
The 242.35p per share total represents a 26 per cent premium to the average 192.37p for Exova shares in the year to 24 March.
The deal is subject to shareholder and regulatory approval. Exova shares closed down 2p at 238p.
CD&R bought Exova from Cheshire-based Bodycote for £417m in 2008. It sold some of its holding when the company floated in 2014. The flotation valued Exova at £550m.

The Echo Presents
Pere Ubu
Media Jeweler, Gabriel Hart (Jail Weddings)
The Echo
1822 W Sunset Blvd
Los Angeles, California, 90026
This event is 18 and over
Watch & Listen
Pere Ubu's new album 20 Years In A Montana Missile Silo opens the doors of the avant-garage to reveal the hardworking mechanics hammering away at the fundamentals of blue-collar rock. A three-guitar revision spans the state of the art for guitar-based rock in the year 2017. Keith Moliné is joined by Cleveland guitar legend Gary Siperko and Kristof Hahn in the now familiar orchestra of analog and digital synths, clarinet, drums and Thomas' unquestionably unique vocals.
It follows on from their release in 2015 of Carnival Of Souls, which was widely praised by the media, confounding the usual clash of critics' sensibilities, and chosen by cult series 'American Horror Story' to provide two soundtracks for characters Mordrake and Twisty, in Season 4.
David Thomas says 'To my way of thinking, the new album is The James Gang teaming up with Tangerine Dream. Or something like that. The Chinese Whispers methodology we worked on the last two albums, now that everyone has gotten comfortable with it, has been replaced by the Dark Room. Put a bunch of musicians in a lightless room and by feeling one small section of an unknown object have them figure what it must be.'
It would be easy to suppose that the album is about being in a Missile Silo... in Montana... for 20 years or so, but this is Pere Ubu and they're not about to make things easy. Thomas confirms, "I wanted to call it 'Bruce Springsteen is an Asshole,' then changed that to 'Robert DeNiro Is An Asshole,' then decided maybe that wasn't a good idea either. It's not my job to explain.'
The album was recorded and mixed at Suma, Painesville Ohio. Engineer Paul Hamann, and his father before him, have been part of almost every Pere Ubu album since 1976. Thomas and Hamann have explored innumerable production methods over the years, establishing the unique Ubu sound that pre-dated punk and still stands proud of the forced genre defined clichés of the music world.
Over the years, Kristof Hahn had become a regular visitor to the Ubu dressing room during his time-off touring with The Swans. He was given access to the songs from the new album as works-in-progress. "I was just listening to 'The Healer' again today and it gave me goosebumps," he wrote to Thomas. "The whole album sounds amazing already, I would be really proud to be part of it, however small my part might be." He was brought on board immediately.
The touring arm of Pere Ubu will be heading out with the new album; first-off in the USA in November-December, amd with a full European tour and further USA dates in 2018.

Thanksgiving food donations in Groton continue tasty tradition
Groton - A full-sized school bus parked at a Route 12 supermarket Sunday morning may have seemed curious, but the bright pink sign hanging in front of it answered any questions.
"Help us Fill the Bus! With Thanksgiving Food Items."
Shoppers at the Stop & Shop responded in droves to the fifth annual Academy of the Holy Family's Fill the Bus Thanksgiving food drive as they donated dozens of frozen turkeys, canned and frozen vegetables, bread and rolls, gravy, potatoes cranberry sauce, pasta and desserts to help fill Thanksgiving baskets for needy families throughout southeastern Connecticut.
About 15 students in the school's Teens in Action program stationed themselves at the supermarket for seven hours Sunday, pausing for a pizza lunch on the bus. Students handed out lists of items especially needed for the baskets, but accepted all donations, including cash. At the end of the drive, they took stock of the donations and went into the store themselves to buy items that appeared to be in short supply.
"I love it," ninth-grader Kelsey Nagy of Haverhill, Mass., said after loading bags of food onto the bus. "We're getting a lot of donations."
Roxanne Rehberg, a teacher, adviser and coach at the academy, came up with the Fill the Bus idea five years ago when the Sisters of Charity at the school noticed donations for the annual Thanksgiving baskets were starting to drop off. The school has rotated locations over the years to different stores throughout the region both to spread the requests for donations and to spread the word that the small Catholic girls' high school in Baltic represents the entire region, Rehberg said.
The school bus delivered the goods to the Academy of the Holy Family in Baltic Sunday afternoon, putting the frozen food into the freezer, the cold items into the cafeteria coolers and the dry goods on the cafeteria tables for sorting. Today, students will form assembly lines to fill food baskets for 100 or more families in the region.
Marguerite Langlais of Gales Ferry saw a news clip of the food drive on the television news Sunday morning. Before she had a chance to respond, her husband, Don, called from the store on his way to the New England Patriots football game to tell her about the food drive.
"He said 'go bring that turkey we bought yesterday. We'll get another one,'" Marguerite Langlais said, handing the bird to students standing outside one of the store doors.
Another man handed a frozen turkey to students at the other door.
"This is for you," he said. "The beer is mine."
Students were well organized in groups, several at each of the two doors handing out lists of items needed and asking customers if they can help "fill the bus." They offered muffins to donors on their way out of the store. Other students and school staff were waiting to haul carriages of full grocery bags and turkeys back to the bus.
By almost noon, the students had collected 30 turkeys, triple last year's number, Rehberg said. That total didn't include the donation of $500 worth of turkeys brought to the school by the Cima family of Canterbury.
Lauren Cima of Griswold graduated from the Academy of the Holy Family three years ago and returns each year for the food drive. She said her family makes the donation in memory of her 18-year-old brother, Ricky Cima, who was killed in September 2009 when his pickup truck was struck by a train in Plainfield. She said the family also makes donations to Ricky's school, Harvard Ellis Technical High School in Danielson.
"I enjoy it," Lauren Cima said. "I like giving back."
Sunday's bright sunny weather, although cool temperatures in the 40s, kept students' spirits up. Sunday was freshman Amy Roberts' 14th birthday. Her sister, sophomore Mary Roberts, brought out two balloons tied to a box of snack crackers to celebrate. One said "Happy Birthday" and the other was in the shape of a bright yellow dump truck.
"They didn't have a school bus," Mary Roberts said.

At the shores of Purgatory, Dante and Virgil meet Cato, a pagan who has been placed by God as the general guardian of the approach to the mountain (his symbolic significance has been much debated). On the lower slopes (designated as "Ante-Purgatory" by commentators), they also meet two main categories of souls whose penitent Christian life was delayed or deficient: the excommunicate and the late repentant. The former are detained here for a period thirty times as long as their period of contumacy. The latter includes those too lazy or too preoccupied to repent, and those who repented at the last minute without formally receiving last rites, as a result of violent deaths. These souls will be admitted to Purgatory thanks to their genuine repentance, but must wait outside for an amount of time equal to their lives on earth.
The excommunicate include Manfred of Sicily (Canto III). The lazy include Belacqua (possibly a deceased friend of Dante), whom Dante is relieved to discover here, rather than in Hell (Canto IV):
".. From this time on, Belacqua, I need not grieve for you; .."[10]
Those not receiving last rites include Pia de' Tolomei of Siena, who was murdered by her husband, Nello della Pietra of the Maremma (Canto V):
"may you remember me, who am La Pia; Siena made, Maremma unmade me: he who, when we were wed, gave me his pledge and then, as nuptial ring, his gem, knows that."[11]
Also in this category is the troubadour Sordello who, like Virgil, is from Mantua. When Sordello discovers the great poet's identity, he bows down to him in honour. This helps keep Virgil in the foreground of the poem, since (as a resident of Limbo) Virgil is less qualified as a guide here than he was in Hell.[3] As a resident of Purgatory, Sordello is able to explain the Rule of the Mountain: that after sunset souls are literally incapable of climbing any further. Allegorically, the sun represents God, meaning that progress in the penitent Christian life can only be made through Divine Grace[3] (Cantos VI to VII).
Since the sun is setting, Dante and his companions stop for the night in a beautiful valley where they meet persons whose preoccupation with public and private duties hampered their spiritual progress, particularly deceased monarchs such as Rudolph, Ottokar, Philip the Bold, and Henry III (Cantos VII and VIII). Dante also speaks with the souls of contemporary Italian statesmen Currado Malaspina and Nino Visconti, the latter being a personal friend whom Dante rejoices at not having found among the damned.
As night approaches, the souls sing the Compline hymns Salve Regina and Te lucis ante terminum. Dante's beautiful description of evening in this valley was the inspiration for a similar passage in Byron's Don Juan:[12]
|Purgatorio, Canto VIII, 1–6 (Longfellow)
|Don Juan, Canto 3, CVIII, 1–6
|'twas now the hour that turneth back desire In those who sail the sea, and melts the heart, The day they've said to their sweet friends farewell, And the new pilgrim penetrates with love, If he doth hear from far away a bell That seemeth to deplore the dying day,
|Soft hour! which wakes the wish and melts the heart Of those who sail the seas, on the first day When they from their sweet friends are torn apart; Or fills with love the pilgrim on his way As the far bell of vesper makes him start, Seeming to weep the dying day's decay;
Waking from a dream, Dante finds that he has been carried up to the gate of Purgatory proper. This gate has three steps: polished white (reflecting the purity of the penitent's true self), black (the colour of mourning; cracked in the shape of a Christian cross), and red (symbolising the blood of Christ and the restoration of true life)[13][14] (Canto IX).
The gate of Purgatory, Peter's Gate, is guarded by an angel who uses the point of his sword to draw the letter "P" (signifying peccatum, sin) seven times on Dante's forehead, bidding him "take heed that thou wash / These wounds, when thou shalt be within."[15] With the passage of each terrace and the corresponding purgation of his soul that the pilgrim receives, one of the "P"s will be erased by the angel granting passage to the next terrace. The angel at Peter's Gate uses two keys, silver (remorse) and gold (reconciliation) to open the gate – both are necessary for redemption and salvation.[13]

33 year old married white couple. Been that way for thirteen years. Love to share my wife with a well hung black stud and she's always eager to satisfy her craving for black seed. I not only enjoy watching, but really get off on just hearing her have her wet pussy pounded from the next room. I love slipping my little white dick Into her soaking wet, well used cunt after it's been pounded hard and filled with black seed. I love drinking cum from her as soon as she's done breeding. Then licking her swollen cunt for days after it's been fucked properly. Also enjoy sucking a nice black cock myself from time to time and giving my ass up as well.

Jul 23rd, 2014
I want to now more about that mysterious girl =(
Dose anyone know her name yet?
Hope they present her more
Jul 24th, 2014
I've been waiting for them to change the theme song ever since I found out that Nano was doing the second ending theme but I gotta say, I think this is one of my least favorite songs by her. It's still good but all of her other songs that have been used as themes were better. Good episode though.
Jul 25th, 2014
Actually I take it back. After listening to the full version of the ending theme I quite like the song. I do agree with Dreaminglovedeath, though. I am intrigued by the mysterious girl who looks like Sasame but is somehow tied to the Lightless Realm. I think she has something to do with the tree but I'm not sure what. This show is really good.

Episode 18 - minnesota
crime connection
On December 6, 2000 Dan Hittle was executed by the State of Texas for the murder of police officer Gerald Walker. After killing Officer Walker, Hittle proceeded to his destination where he killed Mary Goss, Richard Cook, and Raymond Gregg. He then reloaded his shotgun and shot Goss' four year old daughter Christy Condon. Hittle was prosecuted for the officer's murder but not the other four. Hittle was on parole for the murders of his adoptive parents in Minnesota, where he only spent 11 years in prison for their murders.
unsolved murders
Police say that Jim Nisser was hit by a car while riding his bicycle to work in the early morning hours of September 11, 2008. Apparently some parts of the vehicle were left at the scene. Police say they believe the parts were from either a Jeep Cherokee or a Dodge Durango. The pics below are similar vehicles, just for a reference as to what kind of vehicle we are talking about.
Police claim that Jamie Packer was hit by a similar vehicle about 2am in July of 2010 on the dike road in Wabasha, Minnesota.
It is unknown if the cases are related in any way but because it was the same type of vehicle, same type of circumstances, I thought I would point that out.
On September 5, 2011 at about 2pm, boaters found a tan colored canvas bag floating in the Mississippi river. The boaters discovered a deceased infant girl wrapped in plastic bags. The bag also contained several angel figurines, one of which was about 10 inches tall and had the year 2000 on it as well as the words Anno Domini. The bag, police say, had markings on it that suggested it came from the Mexican resort community of Manzanillo. Also in the bag was this piece of jewelry. Police have also created a DNA profile, so if you have any information please call the Winona county Sheriff's department in Minnesota.
Allan Wayne Smith is wanted in the State of Minnesota for domestic assault. If you have any information about Smith's whereabouts please call 1-800-222-TIPS or you can text "TIP674" to CRIMES (274637).
Kenneth "Scott" Kleppen disappeared on March 3, 2015. He left a note for his family mentioning finding happiness. His truck was located in Robinson Park near Sandstone, Minnesota a few days later. Family claims Kenneth loved the book "Into the Wild" and talked about living off the land. He was last seen wearing blue jeans and an olive green jacket over a brown and tan flannel shirt. If you interacted with him since March 3, 2015 or have any information, please call the Pine County Sheriff's department at (320 629-8380

Episode 19 - Mississippi
Crime Connection
On March 2, 2011, police in Greenville, Mississippi responded to a 911 call from 24 year old Terri Robinson. When police arrived, they found Robinson's three year old son in the oven. For an unknown reason, she placed her baby in the oven, locked it and turned it on. Despite some head trauma, the county coroner later confirmed the child had died from thermal injury.
Less than a month ago, on January 10, 2017, thirteen year old Jayveonne Price kidnapped a neighbor's four year old daughter and sexually assaulted her. Price is being charged as an adult. Mike and I talk about MIssissippi's juvenile court system and why it may be better if the court turned the case back to the youth court.
unsolved murder/unidentified
Our unsolved crime segment this week focuses on unidentified baby Jane, sometimes referred to as Delta Dawn. On Dec 5, 1982, a young woman carrying a child was seen by truckers walking westbound on Interstate 10. Police later responded to a call that an adult was floating in the river below but no adult matching the description given was ever found, only this beautiful 2 year old (approx) blonde haired child. The coroner determined the young girl had survived the fall but inhaled water and drowned. Someone is missing his baby.
missing person
22 year old Mark Bakotic, Jr. is believed to be under the influence of some serious hallucinogenic drugs and is wandering the streets of New Orleans. Witnesses claim to have seen him but didn't know he was listed as a missing person. One woman said he appeared to not know who he was.
His credit cards were stolen the night (December 30, 2016) he disappeared from the Republic Night Club on South Peters Street. Please take a look at the pictures and let the police know if you have seen Mark
Episode 20 - United Kingdom
Crime Connection
In our Crime Connection segment, Mike and I talk about Peter Manuel, a serial killer (who was an American citizen) in Scotland in the 1950s. Manuel was a career criminal and was known to have committed hundreds of burglaries. A couple of times during his breaking and entering escapades, Peter Manuel would kill the entire family and even sexually assaulted the corpse of one young woman. Experts claim that Manuel experienced Paraphilia, which is a sexual condition that requires some form of extreme or atypical means to obtain arousal as well as climax. Apparently, physical control and necrophilia were his thing....
He was hung for his crimes on July 11, 1958.
unsolved/missing person
Our unsolved crime this week focuses on Claudia Lawrence, a 35 year old chef who disappeared as she was returning home from work at the University of York. Technically, Claudia is a missing person but her case has captivated the city and the case features some interesting issues. Did Claudia live a high-risk lifestyle that led to her disappearance or was she a victim of a well-known serial killer with ties to the area?
missing persons
Our missing person story this week features an outrageous amount of youths who have gone missing over the last five years or so. Unaccompanied minors seeking asylum in the UK from countries like Somalia, Pakistan, and other Middle eastern territories can enter the UK legally and the child welfare system will help to find them homes. However, THOUSANDS of these kids have gone missing. As many as 10,000 unaccompanied minors across Europe are missing and officials fear they are victims of human trafficking or have been taken in as slaves.
In this episode, Mike and I talk about some trafficking issues and I give some tips on how to spot a victim of trafficking. If you have additional information that can help our listeners, don't hesitate to provide details. We also talked about the website to look at all these kids...here is that link.
Episode 21 - Texas
crime connection
From 1970 to 1973, with the help of two other boys, Wayne Henley and David Brooks, Dean Corll mutilated, tortured, raped, and killed more than 28 boys. Over 40 boys went missing during that time frame but only 28 could be directly linked to Corll. Police actually got to the point where they STOPPED looking for bodies. Outrageous!
Unsolved Murder
On September 2, 1988, Cortney Clayton asked her father if she could go to the local store, about a block from her home, to buy a drink. He watched her walk to the store and then sent her older brother to go down and walk back with her. By the time her brother got to the store, she was gone. Cortney's body was found six months later almost 50 miles away. A witness went under hypnosis to see if they could remember anymore details about a young man who was leaning against the wall outside the store when Cortney was there. The man in the sketch was never identified. If you have any information that can help police close this case, please call the Jones County Sheriff at (325) 823-4604 or the Texas Rangers Cold Case Unit at (325) 795-4078
missing person
Donna Kay Cloud
Donna Cloud was in an abusive relationship and while family was trying to help her, she couldn't seem to let go. The last time anyone heard from Donna was on the evening of October 26, 2016. I spoke to Donna's father, who for the most part has had to do most of the investigating on his own. The police department failed to investigate her case for six weeks because of staffing issues. There is a lot more to this story than meets the eye. Was "Guy A" responsible for her disappearance (she WAS with him that night) or did Donna's abusive ex boyfriend have a hand in this?

Was the Zika Outbreak Caused by Genetically Modified Mosquitos?
Have you heard about this Zika virus spread by mosquitos? It causes it's own illness but has been linked to the birth defect of microcephaly. This is a big deal, it means severe disabilities and retardation and it used to be extremely rare. It's a pretty big deal with an entire nation tells all of it's women not to have babies for two years. Sounds like more population control!
Was the Zika Outbreak Caused by Genetically Modified Mosquitos?
Some Believe it is the TDAP Vaccine that caused the microcephaly.

Agree about population control. Typical about the name of depositor in comment link. My wife and I were discussing that the people that have money can leave, while others can not. - Don

I think it is weird how this just popped up in the news and in 2 days it was a worldwide epidemic. Are people this stupid.Sorry ,I really could not think of any other word.

The first link, I have a screen shot of it on another computer, show where they have a patent for Zika. Name on the list is Rockefeller. Pretty obvious stuff, yeah the name of the depositor Don mentions. Yes the people with money can leave dangerous areas with this mosquito. I am curious how much of a territory it covers in America?
After Ebola, I know they have their hoaxes and fear campaigns. Not sure where this one is running. That's why I posted about some believing it was a vaccination and not Zika.
I had seen info on the GM mosquitos last year. I remember thinking NOW THAT IS A BAD IDEA.
Interesting concerning Matt 24:19, but then we know they love twisting bible prophecy to whip up fear for their hoaxes.
It does seem the very wealthy would be prone to "pin-headed" babies too. Why unleash a bio-weapon that could get you and your children too? This is one reason I don't trust this. Mosquitos can enter the compound of the oligarchs too. Even screens don't serve as a fix all. But then maybe they just plan to travel north where the mosquitos range doesn't reach.
By the way the lack of winter is bugging me. Health wise I benefit from it, but let's just say having a thunderstorm in the first week of Feb in my neck of the woods is UNHEARD of.
Not trying to be politically incorrect but those with microcelphy were historically given the cruel name of "pin-heads" and were used as "freaks" in the circus and as beggars in places like Brazil and poor third world countries. It is interesting to me they would have manufactured this sort of birth defect.
Thanks for the links to videos anon.

I feel like this is a NWO spit in the face somehow. Would take more research. In my mind I am thinking of this creepy sickening comic I knew of in the 1990s called Zippy the Pin-head. It was like MK ultra land or something and most of it made no sense. I hated it even when I was a non-believer.
They can use the fear hoax or not, to limit births etc. I found myself wondering too what will be the ramifications of such a Catholic country like Ecuador basically saying use birth control for two years.
- February 3, 2016 at 7:41 AM
Get this new wrinkle.
There is an organization called "Women on Waves" that is offering women who are pregnant and have contracted Zika free abortions on their ship which is in territorial waters out of reach of the countries. Wonder how that will sit with the Catholic influence in these countries?
Now it is documented to have been spread from an infected person through sexual intercourse. Think of the implications of that!
It started with malaria, then dengue fever, then chikengunya and now Zika. Also, it is believed to be a risk to the general population and those with health issues who can contract Guillain-Barre Syndrone which causes paralysis and even death.
Some think it is an attempt at population control. I rather think it is to control the flow of world travel or destroy economies. Also shut down those who travel to those areas for humanitarian and evangelical missions. A big blow to the airline industry. The repercussions are endless. There has never been a vaccine for either dengue fever or chikengunya. If there is a vaccine for this, who knows what the side-effects would be?
The poor countries will get worse and their health conditions will get worse and the people will suffer.
An interesting point is that this is midwinter and mosquitoes are out in the rainy season which starts in late spring. Also, this variety feeds in the daytime and breed under beds and in closets and are much harder to eradicate.

"After Ebola, I know they have their hoaxes and fear campaigns. Not sure where this one is running. That's why I posted about some believing it was a vaccination and not Zika."
There are some people that have done a lot more research than what you see in the headlines. Skimming headlines will always mislead you. This Zika Virus is just one more of many previous initiatives to acquire more control to the WHO so that in a state of emergency they will have the power to stick a needle (MK Ultra serum?) in all peoples, regardless of their personal convictions.
Here's some well researched information. These "baby deformations" are a lie.
- February 7, 2016 at 4:47 AM
Scott Wasinski, I doubt that these deformed babies are a lie to their mothers. To think that all of them are in on this and these babies are computer generated or something is ludicrous. Yes, the origins and the agenda behind Zika may be questionable, but let's keep our sanity!
Do you think Dengue and chikengunya are hoaxes also? I know people personally who have contracted these diseases and it was through mosquitoes.
I can believe that there is an agenda to overrule probation against abortion and force the issue. But these women and their babies are victims, real victims, not actors.

Definitely worth examining, as it appears to address the more likely cause (and its attempted coverup) of microcephaly:
"It's Not the Zika Virus" — Doctors Expose Monsanto-Linked Pesticide as Cause of Birth Defects
By Jay Syrmopoulos on February 14, 2016
[See article, and follow the internal links, at http://thefreethoughtproject.com/doctors-groups-deny-microcephaly-zika-connection-blame-monsanto-linked-pesticide-birth-defects/#YxJx10fVFIECmm5x.99 ]
From a link discussing the effects of mass-spraying with chemical poisons (having previously mentioned the treatment of public water with pyriproxifen which is known to cause the birth defects, comes the following:
"Brazil fumigates against adult Aedes using Malation, a carcinogenic organophosphorate
compound according to WHO. Paraguay acquired thousands of tonnes of clorpyriphos in
order to kill mosquitoes, although we know that clorpyriphos affects the developing
brain of foetus and newborns. In Argentina, vector "control" is carried out using
pyrethroids, which is a little less toxic but banned in Europe because of its effect on
For doctors in ABRASCO, the problem is that behind these decisions we find the World
Health Organization and the Pan American Health Organization, holding "Pesticides"
committees that maintain no dialogue with the environmental, sanitation and health
promotion committees. In these agencies, the committees prescribing the use and
regulation of the purchase of supplies for vector control for the entire world are
imperial. It is these agencies who convince and endorse the tendering processes for
national governments.(1)

Chemical larvicide component indicated by the Brazilian Ministry of Health against Aedes may be related to the malformation
Published: 02/12/2016 23:55 Updated: 02/13/2016 17:19
Argentine researchers reported this week, arguments that point to the suspicion that a chemical known as pyriproxyfen, the larvicide used in water and recommended by the Brazilian Ministry of Health to combat the Aedes aegypti, can be directly related to microcephaly, according to the newspaper Zero Hora. The larvicide is produced by Sumitomo Chemical, a "strategic partner" of Monsanto, based in the US. It has been used in drinking water tanks since 2014 in Brazil, in areas with poor sanitation, such as the Northeast, the region with the highest incidence of microcephaly. The pyriproxyfen came to be used after the previous larvicide, temephos, proved ineffective against mosquitos. The Argentine scientists in the report questioned why other outbreaks of zika around the world have not been associated with birth defects in newborns. It is suspected there is another factor at play beyond the Zika virus in regards to microcephaly in that, in Colombia, three thousand pregnant women were infected, but no cases of microcephaly related disease have been recorded. "It's no coincidence" says the report on the malformations found in newborns of pregnant women who live in places where pyriproxyfen started to be used in the water.

As members of Parliament continue to butt heads over the Liberal party's cash-for-access fundraising events — and as we head into the holiday season — lobbying law expert Guy Giorno has published a friendly little reminder about the strict rules governing invitations and gifts to public officials … in verse.
Giorno, former chief of staff to Stephen Harper, wrote the poem as a seasonal reminder to companies and organizations who deal with government that sending a present to an official — at any level of government — "can land the recipient, the giver, or both, in trouble."
The poem, written as a pastiche of "Twas the Night Before Christmas", even has footnotes — to guide the reader to the relevant provisions of the Lobbyists' Code of Conduct, the Conflict of Interest Act and reports by municipal and provincial ethics commissioners.
Giorno is a partner at Fasken Martineau, an international business law and litigation firm, and also the chair of the law of lobbying and ethics committee of the Canadian Bar Association. He routinely speaks, writes and advises on lobbying rules.
iPolitics received permission from Giorno to use his poem in this article.
It's the holiday season and all through the House
of Commons and Senate, expectations are doused.
Stakeholder dealings must be handled with care.
Take nothing from someone who's got business there.[1]
The MPs can't take gifts or invites to dine,
No chocolates, sugar plums, meals or wine.[2]
The Lobbyists' Code of Conduct limits gift giving,
To federal officials you will or are lobbying.[3]
When planned, note three rules for receptions this season:
Counting food and extras, keep costs within reason;
Invite literally each and every MP;
Both before and during, you must not lobby.[4]
The feds aren't unique in their laws saying no.
Something similar applies to levels below.
Gift restrictions include federal, provincial,
Agency-based, territorial, municipal.
With the City of Ottawa lively and quick
To make lobbyists register online and click,
More than a registry, a code also came,
And someone to enforce it, Bob Marleau by name.
Last holiday season when gift baskets were sent
Into action the Integrity Commissioner went.
On 27 December (a weekend precisely)
He called the one who sent baskets so nicely;[5]
Made the lobbyist sign a compliance promise,
A document drawn in the Commissioner's office.
Says I am sorry; I know how wrong it was;
It won't ever happen again.[6] Because:
A basket of foods exotic and yummy
Makes a wonderful gift for grandma or mummy;
Not when sent to councillors of the city
By a lobbyist listed on the registry.
Later a planner just wanting to be helpful
Sent a free ticket to a member of Council.
She was not just a planner but a lobbyist too.[7]
And the Ottawa code says: no gifts from you.[8]
An Ottawa lobbyist can give nothing away
To a Councillor or staffer any day;
And not just the lobbyist but any worker
Of the lobbyist's client or employer.[9]
In Toronto a lobbyist gave out as a treat
Freshly baked cookies tasty and sweet.
The by-law says lobbyists can't give anything free,
Thus those cookies were handed to charity.[10]
A flower bouquet became a huge issue
For the CRTC member it went to.
A stakeholder gave it and based on this fact,
The member was in breach[11] of the Conflict Act.[12]
Gift cards are popular and almost like money,
As Ontario's commissioner can see.
They can't be accepted, his office advises;[13]
Do not offer them, to avoid surprises.
Dealing with government, you face regulation,
So approach it like most any law situation.
Compliance is really a matter of foresight,
Just seek an expert's advice and you'll be all right.[14]
[1] An MP cannot accept a gift that might reasonably be seen to have been given to influence the MP in the exercise of a duty or function of office. If the donor is seeking or may in future seek the MP's support in the exercise of a duty or function of office, then the gift should not be accepted.

Ahmed Jehani has spent the past few years living in Washington and Beirut as a scholar at the Carnegie Middle East Center. But this week he returned to his home in Benghazi, the city where the uprising against long-time Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi began, to try to help his country transition to democracy."We hope to have a new government in place within a month," he told The Media Line. "Then we will write a new constitution. That is one of the things I want to help with."

In the foothills of the Himalayas, Joshi's is a common stop for locals and people on pilgrimage like American Rebecca Harvey.
"This is my fifth time in India and this is the longest I've been in India: for three months," said Harvey.
She traveled to the Dunagiri mountain from Oregon, inspired by Paramahansa Yogananda's book, "Autobiography of a Yogi."
"Ever since I first read the autobiography, I've wanted to have a pilgrimage to Babaji's cave," Harvey said.
The hiking path to that cave can often be sprinkled with fallen red rhododendron flowers. Once inside its ancient walls, devotees pay homage to the cave's history of Kriya Yoga.
Kriya is, in its simplest explanation, a meditation technique to calm your body and mind to help you feel God's presence.
For Harvey, it can be, "an experience of intense communion, where you really feel like God is hearing you, and you are experiencing something of what God is -- inside of yourself," Harvey said.
Gerhard Stadler is also on a pilgrimage in India. He's braving a rare March snow storm in that same mountain range to climb the 500 steps of a historic temple dedicated to Divine Mother. He later shared how his spiritual path changed his life decades ago.
"I had everything," Stadler said, including a successful business, a family, and wealth. "But I was not happy."
Until he found the, "Autobiography of a Yogi," which introduced him to Kriya Yoga meditation and the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda.
"That changed, totally, my life. That was the best thing," Stadler said.
Two pilgrims on the same spiritual path, yet from different parts of the world. They agreed on this: a passport isn't required to feel God's presence.
"We have not to go to India to find God, we find God inside," Stadler said, while pointed to his chest. He explained that we find God through the silence of meditation.

Julie Stahl | Jerusalem Bureau Chief | Wednesday, November 14, 2007
The Knesset members see archeological digs as the best way to illustrate the link between the Jewish people, Jerusalem and the Land of Israel -- and to mobilize public opinion against the division of Jerusalem.
The revival of the archeology lobby in the last few weeks comes ahead of the U.S.-sponsored Israeli-Palestinian summit, which is supposed to take place in Annapolis, Maryland, before the end of the year.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has indicated that he is willing to divide Jerusalem, keeping Jewish neighborhoods under Israeli control and giving Arab neighborhoods to the control of a future Palestinian state.
The archeology lobby wants to steer Israeli citizens against the idea, said Yigal Amitay, a spokesman for Knesset Member Uri Ariel of the rightwing National Union/National Religious Party.
In almost every place where archeological digging is taking place throughout Israel, archeologists are uncovering Jewish artifacts and history. But there is no place in the entire country where Palestinian history is unearthed, Amitay told Cybercast News Service on Wednesday.
The more archeological artifacts that are uncovered, Amitay said, the harder it will be for Olmert to gain Jewish support for making a deal on Jerusalem, he said.
Ten of the 13 lobby members toured archeological sites in and around the ancient Old City of Jerusalem on Tuesday.
Outside the Old City, the lawmakers visited the two-month-old excavation of Jerusalem's ancient water system. The system was not only used to carry away rain water. According to the writings of Josephus Flavius, it also was a hiding place and escape route for Jews fleeing the Roman destruction of the city around 70 A.D, said archeologist Eli Shukron.
Inside the Old City, opposite the Western Wall, the Knesset members visited one of the largest excavations carried out by the official Israel Antiquities Authority in the last 20 years. The excavation dates to the Roman colonization of Jerusalem (70-292 A.D.), said IAA Archeologist Jon Seligman.
Rabbi Nissim Ze'ev from the ultra-Orthodox Shas party, which is currently a coalition partner in Olmert's government, said the stones themselves "testify to the history of the Jewish people in this place."
"The Jewish people were here a long time before the Palestinians arrived," Ze'ev told Cybercast News Service. But that is not the way that the Palestinians want to view it. They insist that the Jews arrived in 1948 when the State of Israel was created, he said.
Palestinian officials, starting with former PLO leader Yasser Arafat, have claimed that Jewish Temples never stood on the Temple Mount. In fact, two successive Jewish temples were located there before and during the time of Jesus.
Palestinian denials are seen by many people as an attempt to de-legitimize Israel's right to exist. If the Jewish people have no historical connection to the land, then there would have been no reason to establish a Jewish state here, the argument goes. (See earlier story)
Archeologists also have criticized the Israeli government for failing to stop renovations by Islamic religious authorities on the Temple Mount. They say the renovations have led to the destruction of countless antiquities. (See earlier story)
The lawmakers' visit to the Old City digs "has everything to do with Annapolis and nothing to do with Annapolis," said Knesset member Arieh Eldad, a member of the rightwing National Union/National Religious Party.
"We step on remains of more than 4,000 years of our history. My ability to be part of the Jewish nation is based on the stones that we step on," said Eldad. Olmert has no mandate to give up Jerusalem in the name of the Jewish people, he said.
"The U.S. is making a huge mistake because they are trying to push a very short-sighted political achievement when they try to press Israel to [make] concessions in Jerusalem, in Judea and Samaria [West Bank]," Eldad told Cybercast News Service.
If Israel turns over more land in the West Bank, it will lead to the creation of a second Hamas state there, he warned.
Eldad charged that Israel should not listen to the advice of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, since she has twice pressured Israel into making concessions that turned out to be disastrous.
When she was National Security Advisor, Rice pressed Israel to allow Hamas to take part in Palestinian elections. Hamas won a stunning victory (and eventually took over the Gaza Strip).
Rice also was the key player in drafting an agreement that forced Israel to pull out of the Rafah passage between the Gaza Strip and Egypt. That has led to massive smuggling of weapons, explosives and Iranian training and know-how into the Gaza Strip, Israeli military officials say.
"Her previous advice in this area [was] a fiasco," said Eldad. "Why should we listen this time?"

Addyi Review:
Addyi is a new prescription drug being soon to be released as the first FDA approved drug to help increase sex drive for women, somewhat like a version of female 'Viagra'. Addyi is specifically targeted at pre-menopausal women who feel that they have an extremely low sex drive.
Development of Addyi by drug maker Boehringer Ingelheim was halted in October 2010 following a rejection by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The rights to the drug were then sold to Sprout Pharmaceuticals which also had the drug rejected by the FDA on their application. Recently (Feb. 2015) Sprout Pharma re-submitted Addyi a third time and the drug was approved by the FDA.
Addyi Product Claims:
Addyi Results:
Addyi was originally intended as an anti-depressant, and like other anti-depressants it was found by accident to have some "off label" uses - in this case for treating low female sex drive. However, like other anti-depressants it can have negative side effects and provides limited benefits for increasing sex drive or libido.
By most accounts, Addyi may not be a strong choice for ladies looking to improve their sexual satisfaction or boost their libido. According to Sprout Pharmaceuticals own research - in the women that reported any positive effects at all from using Addyi, on average they only experienced an increase of 1.7 extra "satisfying sexual episodes" per month - while women in the placebo group reported an increase of 1.0 times per month.
Product Guarantee: None
----> Addyi should be available Oct. 17 2015
----> Addyi can only be prescribed by approved Physicians

You can also visit our review archive to see all the product reviews we've featured. Check back often for new product reviews every week!
Addyi is manufactured by Sprout Pharmaceuticals, and is intended as a treatment for low sexual desire in women and for female sexual dysfunction or HSDD (hypoactive sexual desire disorder). Addyi had recently been re-submitted for FDA approval - and was approved on the 3rd try. It should be available starting in late October 2015. Addyi could have several side effects and would only be taken under a doctor's care. From the Addyi manufacturer's website:
"Novel ideas fuel our entrepreneurial passion. With a breakthrough concept for women, we "sprouted" out of Slate Pharmaceuticals in 2011 to focus on delivering a first-in-class, first-in-disease approval for female sexual dysfunction. Sprout is the owner of addyi, a novel, non-hormonal treatment that has shown promise addressing hypoactive sexual desire disorder, the most common form of female sexual dysfunction. We acquired the compound from Boehringer Ingelheim.
(Raleigh, N.C., February 17, 2015) – Sprout Pharmaceuticals announced today that it has resubmitted a New Drug Application (NDA) to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for addyi, an investigational, once-daily, non-hormonal pill for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women. If approved, addyi will be the first and only FDA-approved treatment for HSDD."
Several large pivotal Phase III studies with Addyi were conducted in the US, Canada and Europe. They involved more than 5,000 pre-menopausal women with generalized acquired Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD). The results of the Phase III North American Trials demonstrated that although the two North American trials that used the Addyi 100 mg. (qhs) dose showed a statistically significant difference between Addyi and the placebo for the endpoint of [satisfying sexual events], they both failed to demonstrate a statistically significant improvement on the co-primary endpoint of sexual desire. Therefore, neither study met the agreed-upon criteria for success in establishing the efficacy of Addyi for the treatment of HSDD (Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder).
Unfortunately, most of the studies on Addyi confirm that this product has not lived up to the hype when it first tried to get FDA approval almost 10 years ago. At that time, Boehringer Ingelheim was trying to get Addyi 'fast-tracked' for FDA approval, and Addyi was introduced as a huge breakthrough equivalent to the first Female Viagra for women. Sadly - as with many new medications - that was mainly hype and as it turns out Addyi had turned out to be a bust thus far. While Addyi has now received FDA approval and will become available as the first legal prescription medication to treat low female sex drive - the jury is out on how effective this drug will be for boosting female libido.
Addyi is a prescription medication and like all prescription medications there would be no money back guarantee.
Addyi is a non-hormonal HSDD treatment in capsule or tablet form and is taken orally once daily.
There are no Addyi customer testimonials.
The overall incidence of adverse side effects among women taking Addyi was low, the majority of adverse events being mild to moderate and resolved during the treatment. The most commonly reported side effects of Addyi included dizziness, nausea, fatigue, somnolence and insomnia.
Current Addyi Free Bonuses:
Addyi is FDA approved, although the approval came with several FDA warnings and conditions.
Addyi is not yet available to be ordered or shipped.
Addyi is not yet available for purchase. Look for Addy to become available around October 17, 2015.
We feel that Addyi will have limited benefit as a product to restore female libido and increase sex drive - even when it is available for sale. Studies involving Addyi have shown that the results with Addyi are barely above what is experienced by the placebo group. Addyi must be used for several weeks before there's even a chance you'll notice any results. In addition, there is a significant list of side effects associated with taking Addyi, which - while not overly serious - are easily avoidable in similar herbal products. Addyi would be available by prescription only, and you should never take Addyi without consulting a doctor first.
Feedback indicates that results with Addyi will be barely more noticeable than using a placebo. The women receiving addyi reported that the average number of times they had "satisfying sexual events" rose from 2.8 to 4.5 times a month. However, women receiving placebo reported also an increase of "satisfying sexual events" from 2.7 to 3.7 times a month. In other words, Addyi only resulted in about 0.7 more "satisfying sexual events" per month than the placebo did. This hardly seems worth having to endure the possible side effects of Addyi, in our opinion.
It's important to note that Addyi can have serious side effects when combined with alcohol. For that reason, the FDA mandated that abstaining from alcohol be one of the first conditions for women seeking an Addyi prescription. Drinking alcohol while using Addyi can result in dangerously low blood pressure which could have serious adverse health effects. Any woman considering Addyi as a treatment for low female sex drive must be willing to abstain from alcohol the entire time they plan on using Addyi. For more information on Addyi, visit this Addyi review website - or see your doctor.
Overall we rate Addyi as - at best - a "decent" prospect for women looking to spice up their sex life and increase sexual satisfaction. Especially considering there are several herbal alternatives like Provestra, Femestril, and Vigorelle which provide several benefits in female sexual response - without any side effects - and available without a prescription. Just the side effects alone should be enough to make most women to cross Addyi off their list of possible sexual enhancement products. We feel there are a number of natural, herbal products which have proven very effective in improving low female libido and sex drive - and are much safer, effective, and affordable. As such we can't recommend Addyi as a good option for most women. There are several superior products available which are natural and much more gentle on the body - and still provide proven results.
Unfortunately Addyi leaves much to be desired as a treatment for low female libido and hypoactive sexual desire disorder. With an extremely high price tag and numerous side effects - we feel that Addyi would pale in comparison to a number of herbal female enhancers which have been available for a number of years. Addyi is not FDA approved and is not available to purchase in the USA.
While Addyi is definitely NOT the best option for low female libido, there are a number of natural treatments to increase female sex drive and help improve arousal and sexual satisfaction. All of our consumer recommended products have proven repeatedly that they work, and our consumer recommended female sexual enhancers have excellent money back guarantees. We encourage you to learn more about these products and start experiencing the thrill of revitalized sex life and better sexual satisfaction and enjoyment.

Yes, I know that Kaohsiung is officially known as a city but I still consider the regions with hiking trails and waterfalls to be Kaohsiung County.
Kaohsiung is where I have lived since I moved to Taiwan in 2009. 2009 was also the year that Typhoon Morakot destroyed much of the infrastructure in the mountainous area of Kaohsiung. For several years access was limited in the Namasia and Taoyuan (district) regions but access is slowly being restored and trips are being planned to find some of these waterfalls. It's fairly common for southern Taiwan to not get any rain from November until April and many of the waterfalls in this area dry up by January.

REDONDO BEACH (CBS) — A man suspected of killing his girlfriend and her mother in Redondo Beach was arrested in Baja California early Wednesday.
The arrest of Jonathan Scott Chacon, of Redondo Beach, involved local, federal and Mexican law enforcement agencies, then was swiftly returned to the United States, authorities said.
Chacon, 23, is now in the custody of Redondo Beach police, and will be booked on suspicion of murder in the deaths of the women, whose bodies were discovered Tuesday morning in an apartment in the 1900 block of Rockefeller Lane, said Redondo Beach police Lt. Joe Hoffman.
Police said they found the car Chacon was believed to have been driving — a black 1996 Mustang with a torn convertible top — parked near the San Diego (5) Freeway in Mission Viejo. A motorist saw the car and called the Orange County Sheriff's Department, Hoffman said.
The victims were 59-year-old Vicki Bergman, and her daughter, 19-year-old Courtney, who was a recent graduate of Redondo Union High School, the Daily Breeze reported. The bodies were found by a co-worker of one of the victims, said Redondo Beach police Capt. Jeff Hink.
"I'm not sure what led to her concern, but the fact remains she was concerned for one of the residents' welfare; so she came to the house," Hink said.
After the bodies were found, police sought public help to find Chacon, who was the boyfriend of the younger woman.
How the women were killed — and why — was not immediately disclosed.
Hoffman said police learned late Tuesday that Chacon might have fled to Mexico.
"Detectives worked through the night in conjunction with Homeland Security Investigations, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and Mexican authorities to locate Chacon," Hoffman said.
"Chacon was located at a hotel in Rosarito Beach, Baja California, early this morning, and detained by Mexican authorities," he said.
Hoffman said Chacon was returned to the United States without delay because he is not a Mexican national but, rather, a U.S. citizen who was carrying a U.S. passport.
