Not saying there isn't some truth to your comments about ratting. But it's been pretty quiet here in Mazatlan for awhile.

You do know that top tier drug kingpins from Sinaloa have funded/aided many groups in Michoacan. Just giving you some insight. I personally know many people from Michoacan living in Culiacan who work for people in Sinaloa because it is safer. Safer than being in Tierra Caliente...Delete

5:50 michoacan has many families that are into trafficking so there's many to go around but the big dogs stay in tierra caliente and don't have to get help from golfos or chinolas now. Used to back I bvb the day when michoacanos were independent and just sold their products but after Zetas tried to take over michoacan is when they got together and formed cartel de la CV familia and the rest is history to now cjng, templarios, viagras and nueva familia. The dominant ones in michoacan are viagras and cjng now, ct, los blancos de troya and other small cells work for either viagras or cjng. Michoacanos are far more aggressive than chinolas and it's been proven in cds plazas with mencho taking their candy. Sinaloas are more into buying protection from government but not much into investing in sicarios like cjng and that's the reason CDs is losing the war. Mayo might get LUCKY and better on the right candidate AMLO to have his back this year and help him go against mencho but sicario wise he has zero chance.. just sayingDelete

Just like I stated before AMLOS presidential win. He was going to legitimize the drug trade in Mexico!ReplyDelete
This is why he was not harmed nor touched like other politicians. Rather, the red carpet treatment for his cooperation with cartels.
Question remains? What will US policies in fighting the war on drugs from monetary assistance become? Moreover, extradition treaties have towards suspected individuals who are wanted in the US?
I see a change of extradition policies taking place in the near future for capos.

U are correct as to NAFTA being a major factor for many DTO'S. Until better technology is implemented at all our points of legal entry. Expect drugs to flow at a steady pace. Never making a dent just playing catch up for law enforcement officials.Delete
Curious if retaliation by US to AMLOS position on capos will divide us further? Maybe closing the border completely for security reasons. After all its terrorism the president is supporting. Poisons are flooding communities and killing everyday. No different from those other terrorists in other countries.

NAFTA, worked up since the times of Ronnie when Carlos Salinas de Gortari was in the Mexican ministry and puchacacas of his beloved president Miguel de la Madrid, treaty was consummated with Bill Clinton, all the while drug trafficking shifted from the Caribbean and Florida to TEXAS, money was needed for presidential campaigns, of course, Tamaulipas and its governors were heavily into it with federal Guillermo Gonzalez Calderoni helping DEA get rid of Pablo Acosta, promoting his childhood friend Juan Garcia Abrego of CDG and Amado Carrillo Fuentes in CD Juarez and the Arellano Felix in tijuas; blame the rigmarole on the Russians and Mexican ambassador in Russia, "economist" Raul Salinas Lozano, father of "economist" Carlos Salinas De Gortari, he just had to have a president from his family... CSDG became a vice president with Dow Jones after investing 10 billion dollars, NAFTA paid for it, and he has more money left over.Delete

Mayo is effective when it comes to killing people his network is about 100 offices just from sinaloa each office has it's own group of armed men and sells drugs in the us and other countries they are not on his pay roll they are independent but work with him he uses military and federal forces to maintain his men of the public street as much as he can he also instructs his people to stay away from the military so there's no drama in his territories he hates kidnappers as much as thieves so the local goverment is always happy to work with mayos broke ass sicarios evry now and then some ass hole doesn't pay up a load and they go kill him and take the money and property's away from there money but that's as far as it gets he also runs plazas in la paz tj and mostly mexicali areas but his home is Durango and will always be even if his favorite place to be is in the area between culiacan and mazatlan he maintains in Durango most of his time. He's an old school guy doesn't like the fame or showing off his money he rather spend it giving people jobs in his ranches he has hundreds employed that would prolly be picking tomatoes for 80 pesos a dayReplyDelete

It is all part of their deal, somebody must supply the US orphan opioid fan community, and some Mexicans got drafted to fill the vacuum, but they don't know who is the boss puppeteer...
so far Mayo Zambada has been a smart man,which makes me doubt these mantas are more likely the work of someone rying to divert attention away from them selves and into mayo, probably they are planning to take over the plaza and want to do so with the least resistance as possible. they claim support from federal gov simply to intimidate the local governmemt and local groups that rather not fight government forces, they pretend to be mayo for various reasons; remain under the radar, if they do end up making a mess they hope the attention goes to mayo and they remain on the low, of all cartel leaders, mayo is the most credible to receive federal support since he is known to make deals with the federal gov not just mexico but USA aswell. In the other hand, Mayo is smart and his tactics have kept them alive and free and those tactics are the opposite of this, He is a man that rather solve his problems and he is more of a negotiator than a fighter, from attempting to make peace between Chapo and Arellano to the release of the Menores and recently refusing to help Marro fight off CJNG, He does not like to draw attention and most likely if he did had the supporr of the federal government he would keep quiet, not even the government wouldve liked him to talk if they wouldve been providing supporr. and that is why I nekieve Mayo is not behind this manta.ReplyDelete

Hi Luvs,
November is here, I feel like 2018 just started. What in the world? Despite having done so much this year, I feel like my 2018 goals are no where near achieved. So I better get on that. I'll keep you all updated on how that goes but today we're going to talk about pores.
Before becoming a beauty blogger I didn't really care about pores or minimizing them. It was impossible for me to grasp why someone would want to shrink their pores. Our bodies have 2 types of pores, hair follicles which lubricate the skin with natural oils and sweat pores which serve a ducts for the sweat glands and are important for cooling down our bodies. They seem so important to me that I didn't understand why someone would want to shrink them and risk interfering with their natural functions.
I have recently received several DMs from followers which helped me understand why pores can be so pesky. Those who are bothered by their large pores are concerned with the the appearance and the excess oil which causes their foundation to break up, etc. Because the pores are so important to the skin, you should be careful what products you use to treat them.
Avoid harsh exfoilants. Blocked pores can cause acne and black head but over exfoiliating can dry out your skin or damage your pores. I personally cannot use most exfoiliators. My skin dry out to the extent that it begins to peel/flake. You especially want to avoid exfoiliators with beads as these can damage your skin. For a deep cleanse, I use Neogen Pore Mousse . The Pore Tight Peeling Mouse is made with alginic acid and oligogeline ingredients that penetrate deep to clean out dirt, excess oils and make up residue from your pores.
Some of you may have seen me use it on my instagram live and witnessed how much gunk it removed. I find the Pore Tight Peeling Mousse to be more effective at cleaning my nose tips when compared to charcoal masks and nose strips.
Neogen Pore Tight Mousse is also formulated with ingredients derived from purple sea urchins which helps tighten your sagging skin for a smoother firmer looking face!
Restore and replenish: Neogen Pore Tight Refreshing Serum is a great step 2, to follow up after a deep cleanse. If large pores are your concern, this is the face serum you would like to use. I'm not a huge face of the consistency of most face serums and oils, I prefer the feel of creams.
The Pore tight refreshing serum is more like a cream, than an oil, and it smells great. It is light weight and breathable yet very hydrating. Not only does it hydrate your skin, it tightens your skin leaving it supple.
It's made with 9 marine and botanical extracts, including:
-hizikia fusiforme (brown sea vegetable) extract,
-undaria pinnatifida extract,
-gelidium cartilagineum (red algae) extract,
-sargassum fulvellum (seaweed) extract,
-capsosiphon fulvescens (green algae) extract,
-enteromorpha compressa extract,
-porphyra tenera (red algae phylum) extract,
-laminaria japonica (brown algae) extract and
-gardenia florida fruit extract
Notice the number of times seaweed and Algae are listed. Algae is abundant in nutrients and minerals that extract toxins. But they are also high is antioxidants which are great to firm your skin. Antioxidants inhibit free radical production which helps protect skin cells from damage.
A few of you already tried these after I recommended them to you in our private chats and I'm happy that they worked for you. If you try these please share your experience with me in the comments below.
What do you use for your pores?
Have a good week,
Avi Y. R.

Mir FAQs - About the re-entry
What is going to happen at re-entry?
MIR has reached the end of its useful life (15 years, i.e. over three times its planned lifetime) and needs to be disposed of safely and in a controlled manner. The Russian Aviation and Space Agency has announced that the re-entry of the station will take place in March 2001. A fuelled Progress vehicle (M1-5) was launched on 24 January and docked onto the space station on 27 January. The engines of the Progress vehicle will be fired several times at regular intervals in order to bring MIR down into the Earth's atmosphere (in other words, the Progress engines will be fired to "brake" and slow down MIR by acting in the direction opposite to that of the station's motion).
Re-entry is expected to take place over an uninhabited remote area, the southern Pacific Ocean (some 1500-2000 km southeast of Australia - the same area that was used for previous controlled re-entries of Progress vehicles).
Most of MIR will burn up in the atmosphere, as normally occurs with re-entering space objects that have to be disposed of. However, some pieces will impact on the ocean surface, creating an effect similar to the crash landing of one or two small aircraft.
How will the de-orbit be carried out?
On 20 March, Rosaviakosmos informed ESA that the final Mir de-orbit and re-entry phase is revised as follows:
The station's altitude will be allowed to decay naturally to ~ 220km, which is currently expected to be reached early on Friday 23 March. When this altitude is reached, the attitude control system of Progress M1-5 will be activated and the station will be manoeuvred into its final de-orbit attitude and orientation (i.e. Progress M1-5 ahead).
Under this scenario, the first 3 impulses will bring the station down to an orbit altitude of approximately 217 x 158 km, and the final impulse will drive the orbit perigee down to approximately 82 km.
- In the nominal case, the final impulse (lasting approximately 800 sec) will be initiated in the area of Africa and will be completed over Russia, with a predicted impact point (to be reached approximately 45 min later) to the southeast of Australia at approximately 47 degrees South/140 degrees West.
Who is responsible for the re-entry operations?
The Russian Aviation and Space Agency, Rosaviakosmos, has been charged by the Russian Government with the overall responsibility for all re-entry operations. RSC Energia, as the operator of the station and Rosaviakosmos' TsUP Mission Control Centre in Korolev, near Moscow, are in charge of carrying out the de-orbiting. TsUP also oversees several tracking, telemetry and control stations spread all over the Russian territory.
What is the role of ESA?
ESA, together with other European partners, will monitor the progress of the MIR re-entry. A Mir De-Orbit Monitoring group was set up at the end of December 2000 within the Agency with the task of acquiring, screening and distributing information to Member States (and the media) during the preparation, de-orbit and re-entry phases of this critical operation. An official request from the Russian Aviation and Space Agency was made to ESA in mid-January to support re-entry activities with data coming from the FGAN radar of the German Ministry of Defence. Data will be relayed to Rosaviakosmos' TsUP Mission Control Centre in Korolev (near Moscow) through ESOC, ESA's Control Centre in Darmstadt, Germany.
Why can't MIR be dismantled in space?
In principle MIR could be dismantled in space. But then each module would require a separate de-orbiting with its own rocket engines and attitude control. The simplest solution is the de-orbiting of the whole station as one unit.
Why can't MIR's altitude be raised?
Raising the altitude would only postpone the problem to a later stage. The atmospheric drag would cause MIR to loose altitude and to re-enter sooner or later into the Earth's atmosphere. The safest procedure is to perform a controlled de-orbit and re-entry over an unpopulated area.
Why can't the Shuttle retrieve MIR and bring it back in its cargo bay?
Most of the elements of MIR are too large to fit into the payload bay of the Shuttle. In addition, there are very stringent constraints placed on objects to be carried in the payload bay (e.g. mass limits and balance criteria).
Why do satellites return to Earth, is it gravity?
Not exactly, it is the combination of gravity and air drag. Satellites return to Earth because they rub against atoms of the highly rarefied atmosphere that extends for hundreds of kilometres above the surface of the Earth. The Russian Aviation and Space Agency will use rocket engines placed on the Progress vehicle to start the re-entry process in order to dispose of MIR safely.

Day 5 (Part 2)
Thursday. September 16, 2010
As the boyfriend, his father, Fred, the sweltering heat and I walked home along the quaint, plank-board sidewalks along the coast of Puerto Vallarta, I was all the time keeping a look-out for a keen thank you gift for Smithy, who's house-sitting for us had caused her such difficulty after the devious plotting of the demon spawn we call "our kitties."
You'd think that a tourist trap like Puerto Vallarta would be ideal shopping, but I couldn't imagine Smithy exactly swooning over a miniature beaded palm tree statue or a Hard Rock Café tank-top.
Then, at last, I saw just the sort of boutique that catered to the refined taste of my dear,lady friend: a tequila specialty shop. Hypnotized by the variety of tans, camels, and caramel colors that shone through the many-angled bottles, I floated in and got real thirsty. The vendor – who's name I never got, so I'll call Graggenhauserfrauschembaur – practically materialized from out of my shadow, eager to exchange some of his wares for the far-less delicious bills I kept in my wallet.
"This," I thought to myself, "Is gonna be a great relationship."
It was. At Graggenhauserfrauschembaur's insistence we sat at a tiny portable bar and were lined up shots after shots of tequila tasters. It was like being a college freshman girl at her first date rape. Graggenhauserfrauschembaur's salesmanship was bar-none; how brilliant to get your customers drunk! And the tequila was, truly, lekker. My personal favorites were a coconut-crème tequila and a tamarind liqueur that made me wanna be an alcoholic again for the first time. I purchased some booze for Smithy, and some for myself. I bid Graggenhauserfrauschembaur a bittersweet farewell, and he scolded the boyfriend and I for coming from Los Angeles and not being able to speak Spanish.

Adam McQuaid
Cornwall Prince Edward Island
Eligible for draft:
Trade with Columbus, 2007
205 lbs.
Prospect Talent Score
Probability of Success
In the shadows of top Sudbury prospects Pouliot and Staal is this Prince Edward Island native who has impressed scouts at every turn and has subsequently shot up draft rankings all year. Consider the following statistic as a reason why: only one OHL player that did not play for the London Knights had a higher plus/minus rating than this young blueliner. That player was Kitchener Rangers defenseman Andre Benoit who was completing a near 300-point, five-year career from the back end. Rather lofty company for an unheralded 17-year-old.
McQuaid was a vital component of his Sudbury team by the end of the season. He thrived in a first round series against Brampton, and when he went down to injury in the second game of the club's playoff series against the Ottawa 67's, the Wolves never really recovered. Four games later Sudbury was out, and it was clear how much this improving blueliner meant to his club. The Wolves are a team on the rise in the OHL, and McQuaid's stock is heading in the exact same direction.
Drafted by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the 2nd round (55th overall) of the 2005 entry draft
2005-06: One of the better defensive defensemen in the OHL, 19-year-old Adam McQuaid spent the season manning the blueline for the Sudbury Wolves. Taking a regular shift with highly-touted NHL prospect Marc Staal (NYR), McQuaid turned in another strong season.
2006-07:Coming off a positive experience along the blue line with top prospect Marc Staal last season, McQuaid assumed more leadership responsibility in the defensive zone, a role which should benefit his continued progression towards the professional ranks. He set a career high in goals scored, assists and total points.
Acquired from Columbus via trade in May of 2007; signed to entry level contract
2007-08: McQuaid played for the Providence Bruins (AHL) the entire season and worked hard to become a strong presence on Providence's blueline. He was voted the team's Man of the Year, an award that is given to one player from each AHL team for their contributions to the community.
2008-09: McQuaid spent the season with Providence (AHL), his sophomore season with the club. In 78 appearances he netted four goals and 15 points, along with a career-high 141 penalty minutes.
2009-10: McQuad played in 32 games for the Providence Bruins, scoring 3 goals and adding 7 assists for 10 points. He also picked up 66 penalty minutes to go along with his offensive totals. McQuaid also saw his first NHL action with the Boston Bruins. In 19 NHL games, he scored 1 goal and added 21 penalty minutes. McQuaid also saw NHL playoff action, registering no points in 9 playoff games.
Talent Analysis
A stay-at-home defender with good size, McQuaid is still growing into his big frame. Even at his height, he is quite mobile, and can play in any situation. A hard worker, he has become more physical as he has gotten stronger. McQuaid generally makes good decisions on the ice and reads plays well. He is strong in his own end, particularly around the net and along the boards. Not afraid to play a rough, physical style.
Has the size and the upside to be a top-four defenseman in the NHL.

Gift establishes Rose Endowed Fellowship in Creative Writing
Posted by Jayme Blaschke
University News Service
March 21, 2012
(Left to right, back row) Cynthia Opheim, associate provost, Dan Lochman, chair of the department of English, Michael Hennessy, dean of the college of liberal arts, Tom Grimes, director of the MFA program. (Left to right, front row) John Powell, Mary Powell, Denise M. Trauth, president of Texas State University-San Marcos.
The nationally-recognized graduate creative writing program at Texas State University-San Marcos has a new endowed fellowship thanks to a gift from the W. Morgan and Lou Claire Rose Trust.
The $650,000 gift establishes the W. Morgan and Lou Claire Rose Endowed Fellowship in Creative Writing at the university. The endowment fund will be used to attract outstanding talent to the graduate creative writing program at Texas State, as well as to offer recognition and support to worthy writers entering the program.
The trust, managed by Mary and John Powell since its establishment in 1999, has previously contributed more than $436,000 to scholarship and fellowship awards at Texas State.
"All her life, Claire singled out young people to help, when they demonstrated talent and goals and the desire to work hard," said Mary Powell. "I believe that she would be pleased to see how her gift has benefited the creative writing program."
Rose fellows will be selected from among students accepted into the master of fine arts program in creative writing. Fellows will be required to engage in research related to the creative writing process. Texas State will also establish two new graduate research assistantship positions in the English department to support Rose fellows and other outstanding MFA creative writing students.
Rose was an unpublished but prolific novelist, penning eight novels in the 10 years prior to her death in 1997. Her love of reading and writing led to her long-term friendship with her attorney's wife, Mary Powell (1996 MFA-Creative Writing) of New Braunfels and eventually to the establishment of the trust, named after Rose and her late husband, W. Morgan Rose.

Paul Mann - Applegate-Dorros Peace and International Understanding Award
Former Des Moines Education Association President Receives NEA Award Posthumously
WASHINGTON - July 02, 2008 -
An American history and government teacher from Des Moines, Iowa who inspired a multitude of students and a generation of teachers, Paul Mann will receive the National Education Association's Applegate-Dorros Peace and International Understanding Award as part of the Association's 42nd annual Human and Civil Rights Awards Dinner in Washington, D.C., on July 2, 2008.
The NEA's Applegate-Dorros Peace and International Understanding Award is presented to an NEA member whose activities in education contribute to international understanding and motivate youth to work for world peace.
"Paul Mann's energy, enthusiasm and dedication inspired others to make a difference," said Reg Weaver, NEA president. "He taught his students to think globally, participate in the electoral process and debate political issues. Paul was one of those teachers who could make any student an overachiever."
Mann's commitment to world peace was demonstrated by the many organizations he worked with to accomplish this goal. He served as national co-chair of the NEA Peace and Justice Caucus for seven years and treasurer for two years. He organized a peace march in Des Moines and marched for peace in Washington, D.C., and New York. Mann was also involved in the Educators to Stop the War.
In addition, his commitment to international issues was evident in the annual fundraiser he held to support friends, colleagues and former students who were helping students and families in Chiapas, Mexico. His enthusiasm and drive were so great that he raised enough money to build a school in Chiapas.
"Paul Mann was a tireless advocate for students and public schools," said Weaver. "His sudden loss in September 2006 was felt tremendously by all who knew him. The NEA is so pleased to honor Paul with the Applegate-Dorros Award."
Paul Mann served as president of the Des Moines Education Association for eight years and helped negotiate one of the best labor agreements in the local Association's history. Mann also helped make historic improvements in Des Moines' teacher retirement system. In addition, he was Midwest region director for the National Council of Urban Education Associations (NCUEA). He was also a delegate to 25 consecutive NEA Representative Assemblies. Paul's wife Lola will accept the award on his behalf at the awards dinner.
Irvamae Applegate was NEA president from 1966 to 1967 and was an Executive Committee member of the World Confederation of Organizations of the Teaching Profession (now Education International). Sidney Dorros was a consultant to the NEA Bicentennial Committee who worked tirelessly to promote international understanding and to involve young people in world peace efforts.
The National Education Association is the nation's largest professional employee organization, representing 3.2 million elementary and secondary teachers, higher education faculty, education support professionals, school administrators, retired educators and students preparing to become teachers.

Creating Living Books: A Defense Against 'Piracy'?
from the there's-an-idea deptMichael Scott points us to an interesting essay on piracy in the ebook space, written by Mike Shatzkin. He talks about setting up the program for the upcoming Digital Book World event, where he didn't even think that "piracy" was a topic worth discussing -- but various publishers told him that it's a big issue to them. Unfortunately, it seems that the reason it's a big issue is not because they're learning to use such things to their advantage, but because they have taken the exact wrong lessons from the music industry and have decided they need technological measures to "fight" piracy. Good luck with that.
Shatzkin, however, lays out a much more reasonable approach, picking up on what O'Reilly does with its books: no DRM, but give people a real reason to buy (there's that concept again). In this case, it's regular updates to any book you buy. So, rather than thinking about it as buying the content of the book, you can think about it as paying for a regular update on a particular topic. It becomes an ongoing service, which provides a scarce good, rather than a single transaction for content. As such, "piracy" becomes less and less of an issue, because the content you get may be quite out of date, and give you reason to pay up for real to make sure you are regularly up-to-date.
But, of course, O'Reilly publishes (wonderful and useful) technology books, where there's an obvious advantage to keeping current and up-to-date for readers of those books. The question is whether or not similar things can be done for other types of books, and Shatzkin has some ideas that are intriguing. First he quotes Tim O'Reilly in suggesting that piracy might really only impact large well-known authors who don't need the "marketing" aspect of free books (as opposed to less well-known authors, for whom "obscurity is a bigger threat than piracy"). But, then he notes that perhaps those big name authors can create a "service" of sorts that competes nicely with unauthorized file sharing as well:
But those authors are also the ones who have the biggest personal followings. They are the most capable of adding material: notes about what they're working on, correspondence with fans or critics, even observations about other people's books, that would add some value for many of the readers of their stories. In fact, a regular "update to my readers" from a top-flight author that is available only in their ebooks, or to purchasers of their ebooks, would be an attraction to many and could serve as a constant reminder that downloading their books from illegitimate sources is cheating them.It's an interesting idea, and I like the proactive thinking on ways to compete by allowing something that isn't really possible in the paper book format. Though, I'm not sure if this method works precisely. After all, we already have the example of Paulo Coehlo, one of the best-selling authors of all time, who purposely "pirated" his own book and saw his sales increase tremendously. On top of that, he is already doing many of the things that Shatzkin suggests, but for free on his own website -- and it's working wonders. It's building up a much more loyal following for Coelho, and is allowing him to run interesting experiments like having his fans make a movie out of one of his books. All of this has only opened up more opportunities for Coelho to make money by both building his overall audience while also making his fans ever more loyal and ever more interested in supporting him.

Christian groups and members of Congress are urging the Obama administration to "vigorously" enforce federal obscenity laws against illegal pornography.
Groups such as The Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission and CitizenLink - Focus on the Family's family advocacy arm - sent out an urgent memo Wednesday asking supporters to put pressure on the Department of Justice.
"Regrettably, our government is not enforcing existing federal laws against pornography. We ask for your help right now to reverse this course," said ERLC president Dr. Richard Land.
Federal laws, he added, prohibit most forms of pornography distribution, including through the Internet and cable/satellite TV.
The ERLC and CitizenLink are among nearly 60 national and state groups that have formed a coalition called the War on Illegal Pornography. It exists to press the Justice Department to prosecute illegal obscene content as it is widely available to the public.
Leading the effort, Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) and U.S. House Representatives Mike McIntyre (D-N.C.) and Randy Forbes (R-Va.) sent letters, dated Wednesday, to Attorney General Eric Holder, calling him to combat the "growing scourge of obscenity" in America.
They lamented that though evidence of the harms - such as violence, addiction and sex trafficking - of hardcore adult pornography is greater today than ever, current laws are not being enforced.
Exclusive Op-eds from the Presidential Campaigns
"Congress has put laws on the books, but those laws will not be effective until they are enforced," Hatch said simply.
McIntyre and Forbes echoed the sentiment. "Congress has for decades passed laws seeking to curb the production and distribution of obscene pornography, including on the Internet. A consistent and strong commitment to enforcing these laws can have a significant impact."
They also noted in their letter that adult obscenity is not protected by the First Amendment.
"We believe it is imperative that the Department, with cooperation by the FBI, investigate and prosecute all major producers and distributors of adult obscenity. We need your leadership."
Every second, $3,075.64 is being spent on pornography, according to Internet Filter Review. An estimated 28,258 people, mostly men, view pornography every second. And every 39 minutes, a new pornographic video is being created in the United States. Pornographic websites number 4.2 million, making up 12 percent of all websites.
Coming out strongly against pornography, the ERLC, which is part of the Southern Baptist Convention, calls it "the satanic counterfeit of God's perfect design for us sexual beings."
"Relaxed attitudes toward human sexuality have turned the biblical notion of wholesome and monogamous sexual relations between husbands and wives on its head," the group says. "Scriptural standards of sexual morality have been abandoned; God's design for sex has been perverted beyond recognition. Pornography perverts and distorts all of the God-given purposes for sexual intimacy."
The conservative group goes as far as calling pornography the most vicious of all moral and ethical issues facing families today.
The War on Illegal Pornography coalition is asking the public to contact their senators and representative to endorse a letter addressed to Holder "for the sake of our families and community."

European equities ended broadly flat during the period, with Food & Beverages outperforming, while Banks and Basic Resources suffered the most. The ECB did not cut its rates, acting mainly to set up a policy package for the September meeting through tasking the committees to look into options on forward guidance, while mitigating measures on rates (i.e., tiering) and the size/composition of any new asset purchases. The meeting was somewhat hard to interpret, as Mario Draghi's comments during the press conference felt less clearly dovish than the prepared statement and his Sintra speech. The Brexit situation deteriorated further after Boris Johnson became the new UK PM on a "no-deal-if-we-have-to" platform, while, in Italy, the fiscal and political situation improved, thanks to a dovish ECB and after the EC had decided not to activate the EDP process against the country following fiscal adjustments from a friendlier Italian government.
We continue to focus on well-positioned local retail banks, which, for instance, are outperforming investment banks in the current market environment. We might increase our small- & mid-cap exposure given their future growth potential while continuing to reduce our 'quality/growth' bias (as it is relatively expensive), reinvesting the proceeds in 'Value' names.
The global stock market closed almost unchanged, with investors digesting solid Q2 results but rather light guidance for the rest of the year. Let's not forget that, in the first half of this year, most companies were hinting at a strong recovery in 2H, although that is a scenario that will probably not unfold.
As expected, the Fed cut interest rates, injecting additional oxygen into the economy, at the same time leaving the way open to further cuts if needed. US-China trade negotiations resumed, with Trump and Xi meeting at the G20 summit and with their respective trade representatives meeting in Shanghai, although no progress was made, with the next round of trade talks planned for September.
The earnings season was rather positive in the US, despite a challenging geopolitical environment. As a result, we cut our 'underweight' position in Consumer Staples to 'neutral' amid strong results led by the higher volumes and prices that drove profits higher. We kept our positive stance on Communication Services, focusing more on social media stocks while monitoring the Information Technology sector for a potential upgrade in case of any trade-talk improvement. We kept our 'overweight' position in Health Care and, as we expected, the sector (apart from Illumina) delivered strong results, and had the advantage of being rather cheap.
Emerging Markets once again delivered a negative performance, with no real progress on the trade talks.
Emerging markets declined in July, underperforming developed markets. Global equities saw divergent trends this month, with the developed market rally led by the US, while Emerging Market equities drifted lower, as no progress was made in the trade talks and elevated Fed expectations were pared, eventually disappointing. The 2Q earnings results and economic data were mixed, with the June US and Chinese hard activity data showing some early signs of bottoming. Positive earnings revisions were concentrated on the CEEMEA and LatAm regions, while most Asian countries saw negative momentum.
Turkey was the best market performer in EM during July, Korea the worst. The market struggled with macro headwinds, including the trade dispute with Japan, North Korea's recent missile launches and Trump's attack on Korea's special status at the WTO.
Brazil outperformed the market, on the back of the social security reform and a constructive global scenario. On the macro front, the highlight was the beginning of the easing cycle, with Copom cutting interest rates by 50bp.
The technology sector performed well amid the easing of restrictions on Huawei, while Financials and Materials underperformed the broader markets. Large-cap tech names such as TSMC, Largan and Win Semi – supported by better-than-expected 2Q19 results – led the rally.
The dollar touched a 2-year high as the Fed warned against a lengthy easing cycle and defined the current rate cut as a mid-cycle policy adjustment. Oil prices were flat. Although Department of Energy stats were relatively supportive, supply-side drivers, including US-Iran tensions and Tropical Storm Barry, improved as the month advanced, to exert downward pressure.
We remain cautious on China by focusing on stocks mostly exposed to domestic consumption amid trade-deal uncertainty and, as a result, limited direct/indirect US exposure, while adding to self-help stories with positive earnings momentum as well as to defensives.
On the back of sluggish economic growth and the highest unemployment figures in a decade, we continue to reduce our exposure to South Africa. We slightly increased our stake in Russia, based on positive risk-reward. We are also monitoring any entry window in semiconductors, as these have reached their bottom. Markets remain extremely volatile. The deal/no-deal situation and hawkish/dovish Fed remains fluid and we need to adjust the portfolio accordingly.

In a move that could become quite popular, Devil Rays management has started playing the extremely popular "More Cowbell" skit from Saturday Night Live. The team hopes that the video can encite the crowd, much the same way that the Rally Monkey has done for the Los Angeles Angels. While the video is funny, we are not sure if it will work to drive the crowd into a frenzy. For one thing, it will be more successful with a successful team and larger crowds. Of course its the pitching staff that really needs more cowbell. Just remember, the Yankees and Red Sox put their pants on just like the Devil Rays, one leg at a time, of course after they have their pants on, they win championships.

He was meant to oversee one of the biggest changes to Italian youth development of the past decade or so, and he created a plan of just how he intended to go about it. Appointed in August 2010 after an abysmal Italy showing at the World Cup, Roberto Baggio was the man the FIGC felt would improve Italy's young talent. Now, just over two years later, he has left, with his project having never left the ground.
When he first joined as head of the technical sector, the FIGC had a very clear directive in mind, one which they shared with the world on their website. "The goal is to renew the youth system, in a difficult moment for Italian football, with close co-operation between the FIGC and the clubs in the training of young players." Baggio, they thought, was a perfect candidate to help them with this.
However, they also made it clear that achieving this goal was not a one-man job. Il Divino was not the only new face to wander into the Federation at that time. Gianni Rivera was given the role of President of the youth sector, and Arrigo Sacchi was appointed as co-ordinator for the Italy youth teams. The three would need to work together if they were to overhaul youth development.
It is from this remarkably early stage that things started to go wrong. In spring 2011 Baggio initially presented an idea that involved supervising the development of players by analysing over 60,000 matches, at a cost of €7m. It was rejected by Renzo Ulivieri, President of the Italian Coaches' Association, because it encroached on the work of Rivera and the youth sector, and did not fit the ex-Brescia man's remit as head of the technical sector.
He went back to the drawing board and produced a document entitled 'Renewing the Future', which outlined his plans to improve young players in Italy. He presented it to the FIGC in December 2011, and afterwards they said it would be "discussed at the next council meeting."
Whatever was said in that discussion, and any subsequent meetings after that, the outcome was not favourable for Baggio, who claimed on Wednesday that the FIGC "are not willing to go forward with the project."
It was not the first time he expressed dissatisfaction with the process. In October last year, he was more than a little disgruntled at the length of time it was taking for the FIGC to respond to his ideas.
"It has been 10 months and I am still waiting for an answer. I can't say I'm not a little disappointed," he said. "The funds have been allocated, but so far all we've had is an initiative in Tuscany. It was free and attended by clubs like Pisa and Pontedera. Since then, nothing."
The funding is still an issue, and it was one that Baggio returned to during his leaving announcement last week. "President Giancarlo Abete funded my project, allocating €10m, but the money did not arrive," he told RAI news programme TG1.
There was a reason the cash did not arrive –the FIGC were not convinced about the project's direction. There were whispers that Baggio was more interested in dealing with players – encroaching on Rivera's role once again – than he was with the Coaches, which is where the FIGC wanted him to focus. It was a difference of opinion that Abete confirmed when questioned last week.
"There was a misunderstanding from day one," he explained. "Baggio thought his task was the scouting of players. But Sacchi, Albertini and I explained that it was up to Club Italia. He had to deal with the training of Coaches – to define rules and principles for the teaching of football to young players."
It is a little harsh on Baggio. He did include the plans for changes to coaching that the FIGC were looking for – they acknowledged as much in an end-of-year budget statement posted on their website in December 2011, stating there were details on "the renewal of the training course for Coaches."
Earlier in 2011, in an interview with GQ magazine, when the project was only in draft stage, he spoke of a document that featured the "restructuring of Italian football, from the school for Coaches to the methods used to teach young players," all geared towards making alterations to the coaching methodology.
Last year, in an interview with the Corriere dello Sport, he was even clearer: "The fundamental principle is the education of the Coaches. Young players need people who have had adequate teaching."
Whether he was happy to proceed with these plans is another matter. His desire to work with players became apparent when news of his match analysis idea broke, and it could well have taken a reminder from the Federation to get him back on track fulfilling responsibilities he was not entirely prepared for. The motivation for his decision to leave, therefore, may well have been summed up best by Abete: "I do not think he felt at ease in his role."

I've purchased two of these units from you and I can't say enough about how well this Centrifuge trimmer works. Anybody that's ever been to a harvest party knows exactly how much fun they can be, at first, but then after a few hours of trimming trimming trimming, your hands and brain just wear right out! For anybody that trims even a simple harvest now and again, you should consider buying this Centrifuge system. It just works and it works well.
1) I tear off the buds and place them onto the trimmer rack, then I replace the lid, give it about 24-30 cranks and the buds are ALL manicured. Just like that. My clients have mentioned multiple times at how clean and well manicured all my crop is. This system will save you or someone you love, many many many hours of mundane trimming work. My two Centrifuge Trimmer's have replaced four of my employees from having to help us trim our harvests. And we always finish up the job way faster using these trimmers rather than human help. The Centrifuge is the best invention to help the agriculture industry so far this century. I'm a highly satisfied customer and would recommend it to everyone. I've made my money back on my Centrifuge purchases many times so far.

Boy meets girl. Young Canadian from Smiths Falls, travelling on a shoestring, meets cute Swedish nanny with a mop of red curls in a laundromat in San Francisco. One thing leads to another and Ian Giles takes fate into his very capable hands, quits his job, sells his possessions and moves to Sweden to marry the beguiling Anna Bjers.
He has to find a job, learn to communicate in a difficult language and become part of the scenery. Almost 18 years later, Ian is the logistics manager for Addicom, a mobile phone accessory provider. Anna, originally a preschool teacher, is now co-ordinating job placement for new teachers fresh out of university. They, and eight-year-old daughter, Emilia, are completely committed to their idyllic lifestyle in a new sustainable housing development, called Fagelviks Hojden, on a snowy mountaintop about 20 kilometres from downtown Stockholm.
Anna and Ian, your life here seems quite perfect but it must have been challenging at the beginning, especially for you Ian, working in a different language, handling unfamiliar situations, missing the folks back home.
Ian: Well, it wasn't really all that difficult. I've had a lot of great support from family and friends over here and we try to get back home once every couple of years. The job situation has worked out pretty well. I've found that my Canadian problem-solving skills and organizational ability have been very useful; sometimes the Swedish committee system can cause a frustration or two and slow things down. There have been a few hiccups though. In one of my first jobs I wrote to a client and ended the letter with what I thought was "yours truly". It turned out closer to "forever my beloved" and the boss really reamed me out. I always try to learn from my mistakes.
Anna: Ian is a very proud Canadian and has been an active member of the Canadian Club for about 15 years. They sponsor events like Canada Day and Thanksgiving and monthly hockey games with the help of some people connected to the Canadian Embassy. We're huge hockey fans and whenever there's an international game featuring Canada and Sweden it's a great occasion.
The drive from the airport felt quite familiar. The landscape is a lot like the Gatineau: rocks, big fir trees and that 30-centimetre snowfall just put icing on the cake. As soon as we drove into Fagelviks Hojden I sensed a village-like atmosphere that definitely is different from subdivisions around Ottawa. Can you to put into words what you think the differences are?
Ian: This hilltop community was conceived and built in record time with a view to creating a close-knit sustainable neighbourhood that is run by the residents.
I'm the treasurer of the community association that operates in a similar way to condo associations back home. The elected board is responsible for 178 households. We pay a minimal yearly fee that covers snow clearing, grass cutting, street lights, fire hydrants and, once a year, we have a cleanup day involving the entire community. Members fix fences, rake, paint, then we have a big grill party with hotdogs and balloons for the kids.
There's a true sense of community so you'll see lots of kids out playing in the street, running from house to house, just like it used to be back home, because everyone's got their eye on them.
You probably noticed that the roads are not laid out on a parallel grid but curve around, creating little pockets of interest. The houses are quite close together and are built closer to the street than in Canada and seem lower because we have no basements. It has a sort of cosy feel but we still have lots of privacy, the fences and hedges give the illusion of polite separation. This hill is solid rock so all the house are built slab on grade, which allows for ground-level entry and is just another small thing that gives it a different look and feel.
Sweden is renowned for it's progressive energy sustainability programs. How does that impact on your daily lives and how do you notice the benefits?
Anna: Our whole house is heated with an air source heat pump, a small unit that acts like a reverse refrigerator, taking heat out of the cold air from outside and using it to heat the inside air. The very thick walls are filled with efficient, high-level insulation that makes it possible to heat the entire house from this one small source. It cuts down on the amount of dust produced by a forced-air furnace and seems to help reduce certain allergies. The ceramic tile roofing is an old idea made new again. These roofs will last forever and there is practically no upkeep. We have all the usual "mod cons", low flush toilets, rainforest shower heads that are actually water misers and, oh yes, the heated bathroom floors, so nice.
Ian: People in Sweden are generally tuned in to preserving what we have without giving up too many comforts. When we take Emilia to school at the bottom of the hill, we drive to the supermarket where we leave the car and catch the bus into the city. The buses are very comfortable and affordable so everyone uses public transportation without question. Most of the buses are ethanol fuelled, derived from wood in this case, and apparently can reduce carbon emissions up to 90 per cent.
About 50 years ago, Stockholm started building an infrastructure for the distribution of district heating. Now it covers over 99 per cent of the city's total heating needs using renewable fuel and energy derived from waste or residual heat. The air is cleaner, the water is cleaner, the streets and buildings are cleaner, it's just better all around.

I have this digital thermostat controlling my heater (gas).
When I turn it on to lets say 66 deg, and the house is at 60, the HVAC will start working of course.
Problem: After few minutes, the thermostat goes dead as if there is no electricity to it. The HVAC will continue working by the way. After a few more minutes, it goes back to life as if nothing happened. That will keep happening as long as the HVAC is working.
- It never happens that I go to the thermostat and it is "dead" if the HVAC is not working
- I thought the first time it was dead, that the breaker jumped. I went to check and of course it didn't. I say of course because I just said that it will come back to life by itself after few minutes.
What is going on?

VANCOUVER — The pro-Israel group StandWithUs Canada posted ads in Vancouver public transit stations Oct. 14 to counter anti-Israel ads that have been running since the summer.
Ten TransLink stations will display the pro-Israel posters for a month to counter the anti-Israel posters currently at these sites and on 15 Vancouver buses.
"We believe there are many people who will look at the anti-Israel signs and go away thinking that's the truth about Israel, because prior to our poster campaign, there was nothing to refute the lies," said Meryle Kates, executive director of StandWithUs Canada. "And if we've studied history, we know the propaganda campaign can change peoples' minds."
The StandWithUs ads consist of two different posters. The first depicts Jewish loss of land from Biblical times to the present by juxtaposing a map of the ancient Jewish kingdom circa 1,000 BCE, a map of the land designated as the Jewish homeland by the League of Nations in 1920 and a map of the much smaller Israel of today.
The second ad shows pictures of Israeli and Canadian children waving their national flags, celebrating the shared values and freedom both countries enjoy.
The controversial "Disappearing Palestine" ads, by contrast, sponsored by a coalition of anti-Israel groups led by the Canada-Palestine Support Network, show what the group says is the shrinking territory of "Palestine" since 1946.
"The anti-Israel ads distort facts," said Roz Rothstein, CEO of the 12-year-old U.S.-based parent group StandWithUs International.
"They presume there once was an Arab country called 'Palestine,' when in fact no such country ever existed prior to the one being considered today. Conversely, there has been a continuous Jewish presence in the land of Israel for three millennia, and the League of Nations recognized the Jews' historical connection to the land, which is why it carved out the Palestine Mandate as the Jewish homeland."
StandWithUs has countered similar anti-Israel ad campaigns over the past six years in U.S. cities such as San Francisco, New York, Houston, Washington, D.C., Albuquerque, Chicago and Denver.
Rothstein said the anti-Israel posters in Vancouver are pretty similar.
|According to StandWithUs officials, one of the ads was vandalized the evening of Oct. 16. The next day, the damaged ad was removed and replaced by the transit ad company.
"It's the same junk, the same twisted information that omits important context and distorts the land issues," she said.
"These anti-Semitic campaigns are showing up in books, movies and boycott campaigns, and the people behind them are relentless. They apply the same technique and ideology internationally. There has to be someone saying 'This is not OK, it's inaccurate and it will not lead to peace.'"
Rothstein said she first saw the "Disappearing Palestine" maps in New York and that she believes they were conceived by Alison Weir, the founder of If Americans Knew, a group that describes itself as "a non-profit dedicated to accurately informing Americans."
"This distortion that accuses the Jewish people of having nothing and taking everything away from a Palestinian entity is just an absurdity," Rothstein said. "But people don't know that, so if you let it slide and stand as a lie, then guess what? It gets attention."
Rothstein admits the situation in Israel isn't perfect. "Everyone dreams of peace, but you cannot get to peace with distortion and lies. Nothing good will come of promoting hostility," she said.
Countering the anti-Israel campaigns is expensive, and the coalitions behind the ads seem to have unlimited funds, she added. "Unfortunately, we don't. I would guess they're spending $100,000 a year on all these efforts."
While the anti-Israel posters have a four-month run in Translink stations, StandWithUs' posters will only be displayed for one month due to funding limitations, Kates said.
"We're looking for more funding to be able to keep the posters up longer, and I'd love to be contacted by donors," she said. "If we believe the coalition behind these anti-Israel posters, this is a campaign going across the country. StandWithUs wants to find supporters to be able to put up our truth in each place."
Rothstein also hopes Canadian donors will come forward. "StandWithUs International is paying for this effort in Canada, but Canadians who care should be supporting the Canadian office of StandWithUs if they want to increase education in the region and try to challenge these anti-Semitic campaigns," she said.
Meanwhile, the "Disappearing Palestine" wall mural at the Vancouver City Centre SkyTrain station was stolen recently, and according to the Canada-Palestine Support Network, it will be replaced. "This disruption will not silence our ad campaign," said coalition spokesperson Marty Roth.
Kates said StandWithUs posters have been defaced in some places in the past, and she wouldn't be surprised if they were stolen, too. "We'll just put new ones up," she said.

In his great and prophetic novel 1984, George Orwell laid out his vision of what totalitarianism would look like if taken to its logical extreme. The government - in the form of Big Brother - sees all and knows all. The Party rewrites the past and controls the present. Heretics pop up on television screens so they can be denounced by the populace. And the Ministry of Truth propagates the Party's three slogans:
Dave Eggers' new novel, The Circle, also has three short, Orwellian slogans, and while I have no special insight into whether he consciously modeled The Circleon 1984, I do know that his book could wind up being every bit as prophetic.
Eggers' subject is what the loss of privacy would look like if taken to its logical extreme. His focus is not on government but on the technology companies who invade our privacy on a daily basis. The Circle, you see, is a Silicon Valley company, an evil hybrid of Google, Facebook and Twitter, whose cultures - the freebies, the workaholism, the faux friendliness - Eggers captures with only slight exaggeration.
The Circle has enormous power because it has become the primary gateway to the Internet. Thanks to its near-monopoly, it is able to collect reams of data about everyone who uses its services - and many who don't - data that allows The Circle to track anyone down in a matter of minutes. It has begun planting small, hidden cameras in various places - to reduce crime, its leaders insist.
The Circle wants to place chips in children to prevent abductions, it says. It has called on governments to be "transparent," by which it means that legislators should wear a tiny camera that allows the world to watch their every move. Eventually, legislators who refuse find themselves under suspicion - after all, they must be hiding something. This is where The Circle's logic leads.
Of course, nobody who works for The Circle thinks what he or she is doing is evil. On the contrary, like many a real Silicon Valley executive, they view themselves as visionaries, whose only goal is benign: to make the world a better place.
"We're at the dawn of the Second Enlightenment," says one of The Circle's founders in a speech to the staff. "I'm talking about an era where we don't allow the majority of human thought and action and achievement and learning to escape as if from a leaky bucket."
It believes if it can eliminate secrecy people will be forced to be their best selves all the time. It even toys with the idea of getting the government to require voters to use The Circle - to force them to vote on Election Day. And, of course, it has found multiple ways to monetize the data it collects. As for the potential downside of this loss of privacy, it is waved away by Circle executives as if too trifling to even consider.
Is this vision of the future far-fetched? Of course it is - though no more than 1984 was. The Circle imagines where we could end up if we don't begin paying attention. Indeed, what is striking is how far down this road we have already gone. Thanks to Edward Snowden, we know that the National Security Agency has the ability to read our emails and listen to our phone calls. Google shows us ads based on words we use in our Gmail accounts.
Last week, Facebook - which has, in shades of Orwell, a chief privacy officer - removed a privacy setting so that any Facebook user can search for any other Facebook user. The next day, Google unveiled a plan that would make it possible for the company to use its customers' words and likeness in ads for products they like - information that Google knows because, well, Google knows everything.
So, yes, while we're not in Eggers territory yet, we are getting closer. I don't have either a Facebook or a Twitter account, yet every few days I get an email from one of the two companies saying that so-and-so is waiting for me to join them in social media land. The people it picks as my potential "friends" are very often people with whom I've never been a true colleague, but I've briefly met at some point in my life. It is creepy to me that the companies know that I know these particular people.
"If you have something that you don't want anyone to know," Eric Schmidt, the former chief executive of Google, once said, "maybe you shouldn't be doing it in the first place." That line could easily have been uttered by one of Dave Eggers' characters. That is the thought-process that could someday cost us our last shred of privacy. The Circle is a warning.
(And in case you're wondering, here are The Circle's three slogans:
