This weekend my friend and I got into a discussion regarding the housing market; he was wondering whether current prices were still cheap enough to justify taking the plunge and buying a new home.
"It's a good question," I told him, "We could ask my Magic 8-Ball, but it's in the car and I don't feel like getting up."
I know what you're thinking. The portable navigation system I was using in my 1997 Honda Civic had gone on the fritz, and so I was using the 8-ball as a stand-in. Talk about a bad idea. Oh, sure … it was fairly accurate on mundane questions like, "Should I take the freeway or surface streets to Santa Monica?" But there's nothing more frustrating than trying to shake a Magic 8-ball and then read the answer while driving a stick shift in rush-hour traffic — especially after it tells you to "Concentrate and ask again."
But I digress.
The Price-to-Rent Ratio
Home prices in my neighborhood have recovered most of their losses since the bottom fell out of the housing market in 2009. Then again, home prices in other areas of California are a mixed bag. For example, Glendale real estate has some bargains but you won't find such great deals in an area like Beverly Hills. So, for many people, it's hard to discern whether homes are relative bargains or overpriced money traps.
Thankfully, there are ways to get a rough idea whether a particular housing market is under- or over-inflated. Perhaps one of the better indicators is something called the price-to-rent (P/R) ratio. The P/R ratio is simply the median home price in a given region divided by the annual rent you can get for a similar home.
A low P/R ratio can be a signal that regional home prices are cheap compared to renting. On the other hand, a high P/R ratio can indicate that you'd be better off renting.
The P/R ratio is not perfect because the varied mix of homes affects the median price. It also can't tell you if a particular house is appropriately priced.
Still I think it is a terrific way to get a back of the envelope estimate as to whether it's better to rent or buy.
Calculating the P/R Ratio Is Simple!
Just for fun, let's use the P/R ratio to see whether it would be better to buy or rent houses in my neighborhood.
Right now, there are three homes in my housing development with an average monthly rent of $2300. The median price of similar homes in my local area is currently $550,000.
P/R = (Median home price)/(12 x monthly rent)
P/R = ($550,000)/(12 x $2300)
Okay, Len, so what does that mean? Is a P/R ratio of 20 high or low?
According to the New York Times, the average P/R ratio in the US during the '70s, '80s, and '90s varied between 10 and 14. When the housing market peaked in 2007, the P/R ratio rose to 19. However, keep in mind that's the national average — those numbers varied depending on locales. For example, even after the market tanked, in 2009 there were local regions with P/R ratios far above 19 including: Oakland (36.3), Honolulu (34.8), San Jose (32.3), San Francisco (28.4), and Seattle (28.1). As a point of comparison, in 2009 there were also markets with much lower P/R ratios, including: Pittsburgh (11.7), Detroit (12.1), Cleveland (12.6), Phoenix (13.3) and Las Vegas (13.9).
As a general rule of thumb, a P/R ratio of 15 or less indicates a reasonably-priced market, while P/R ratios above 20 suggests that renting may be the better choice. However, it's always best to compare the current P/R ratio to the historical average for a given region; you can often get that data from your local real estate agent.
Four years ago, the P/E ratio for my neighborhood was 16. So it has increased by 25% since then.
In Conclusion
Of course, the P/R ratio is really meant to guide you on the timing of your purchase. When it comes time for deciding whether or not buying a home is right for you, you should also consider other factors including things like: the length of time you plan on living in the home, recreational benefits of your community, and your willingness to tackle typical homeowner duties like mowing the lawn, shoveling snow off of the sidewalk, and other general home maintenance activities. You'll also want to make sure that you have saved enough money — not only to cover the required down payment, but also additional savings to cover surprises that will inevitably pop up from time to time.
So if you're wondering whether or not now is still a good time to purchase a new home, take a look at the P/R ratio. It's certainly not a foolproof indicator — but it's definitely more reliable than a Magic 8-Ball.

Nope. Programming's easy. There are a even a number of middleware systems you can use to reduce your programming to a minimum. No, that's not the difficult bit. That's much easier than when I started coding in binary and hex in the 80s.
No, ideas are everywhere, waiting to be plucked out of the ether.
Appstore Submission?
Yes. Appstore submission is hard. There are Bindle IDs, icons of various sizes, screenshots, descriptions, international descriptions, age ratings and a whole bunch of other stuff. I actually think getting a finished app into the various appstores is more difficult than creating the thing.
Making money?
Now you're talking. Making money out of apps is the most difficult thing. How do you get your app noticed among over a million - yes currently 1.6 million others? That's where publishers used to come in handy, of course. They had press agents, contracts with ad agencies, all sorts of contacts with the press (when there was a press) etc etc. Now we have social media and bloggers, but the number of apps we're competing against is phenomenal.
Price Points
Appstores have killed games prices. App prices for games are ridiculously low, some people are not willing to pay for an app. Freemium? It can work if you're lucky, and there are always stories of Angry Fish, Wiggle Woggle etc., but you need to shift huge numbers to make it pay.
Frankly, it's a lottery for the indie developer.
So what's the answer? Keep plugging away until you die? Run a Kickstarter? If you do find out, please throw me some tips. You can contact me through the website - www.potassiumfrog.com
In the meantime desktops still have a role to play. Of course, some games can't currently be translated to mobiles, but most can. And VR is just around the corner. PC, Mac and Linux games still command reasonable prices, and there's a healthy community willing to swap tips and reviews. Getting a game on Steam is most likely essential, of course.

Winnipeg Jets forward Evander Kane is questionable for Wednesday night's game against the Blackhawks but he will be making the trip to Chicago.
Kane is listed as day-to-day with an unspecified injury.
Head coach Claude Noel says Kane's status will be reviewed in Chicago.
Kane did not play in Winnipeg's 4-2 win over Detroit on Monday night. He has nine points (six goals, three assists) in 15 games this season.
Noel is hoping the Jets can put together the same kind of game they managed without Kane when they beat the Red Wings.
Noel was happy to see the Jets execute many of the things he's been preaching for some time. Winnipeg's improved puck control created scoring chances against one of the Eastern Conference's stronger teams.
Entering play Tuesday night, the 6-8-2 Jets were tied for 11th place in the Western Conference standings.

Miskatonic University is the fictional Ivy league school in Arkham, Massachusetts featured in Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos. The design for the MU School Ring was fashioned after class rings from Yale and Brown during the 1920's. The class year on the ring is 1928, the year The Call of Cthulhu was published. The crests on the sides of the ring feature Cthulhu's tentacles wrapped around The Necronomicon, which is said to be housed in the university's library. The area under the signet is hand engraved with H.P. Lovecraft's initials.
Details: The Miskatonic Class Ring is sterling silver with a black antiquing finish. The MU ring measures 19.2 mm top to bottom. The band measures 4.1 mm wide and 3.5 mm thick. The ring weighs approximately 14.8 grams. The weight will vary with size. The area behind the signet is partially carved out to increase comfort. The inside of the band is stamped with our makers mark, copyright, and metal content.
Size Options: US sizes 6 to 15, in whole and half sizes (sizes 13.5 to 15 are an additional $15.00).
Also available in 14k gold - click here to view.
Packaging: This ring comes packaged in a ring box.
Production: We are a made-to-order company. Your order will ship in 5 to 10 business days if the item is not in stock.
I really like the ring
Have covetted this ring for years and finally decided to go for it. Was delivered rapidly from the US to the UK and was worth the wait. Ring is quite heavy and fitted perfectly.
Perfection could not be more happy with it. Highly recommended
Molt content amb la compra... Vaig demanar una talla molt concreta i queda com anell al dit!

Maybe you have to be a baby boomer to appreciate Will Durst's latest solo act, "Boomeraging from LSD to OMG." But I doubt it.
It is, of course, about the travails of what Durst terms being "chronologically gifted," or "what happens when acid flashbacks meet dementia."
Durst's good-natured, acerbic monologue is so funny that about midway through — when he was describing how invisible baby boomers are in youth-oriented culture (which boomers invented!), and how, to Gen Y baristas, boomers appear to be little more than animated pieces of furniture waddling up to the bar — I found myself on the verge of uncontrollable, hysterical laughter.
Durst is not the first to poke fun at his own generation. Recently, also at the Marsh, clown-performer Geoff Hoyle wowed us with his "Geezer."
Apparently the whole idea of the "maturation of the boomer nation," as Durst calls it, is an endless source of merriment.
In a gray suit, suspenders, a paisley tie and white sneakers, the gray-bearded, gray-haired Durst — nationally known for his political stand-up comedy routines — is now holding forth weekly. He's aided by occasional projections of illustrative text and a few sound effects.
But largely it's the dryly witty and (self-described) avuncular Durst, now 61 ("60 is the new 33¹?³!"), sharing his insights into the odd experience of aging.
"This is the oldest I've ever been … and I'm beginning to sense a pattern," he muses.
A few of his comments tread overly familiar comic ground (dire warnings in school about the horrors of marijuana and cliche parental threats: "I'll give you something to cry about!"). A list of presidential candidates from 1952 to 2012 doesn't quite fit the context, either.
But most of his observations are hilarious, starting with a list of alternative titles he considered for the show, including "Boom Harangue" and "Wrinkles Don't Hurt."
He leads the audience in a reassuring mantra: "I am not as old as my parents were when they were my age."
Look at the bright side of aging, he advises: Your peers are dying, of course, but, "Fewer peers means less peer pressure!" On the other hand, you're still doing drugs — but now there's a co-pay. Ka-boom.
He promises to reveal the meaning of life at the end, and it is indeed a wonderfully uplifting finale. Grab your hearing aids and canes and see for yourself.

I've always been a fan of a midi dress. The way they cover everything up and still offer ultimate comfort means I can look like I've got my shit together without to much effort. Here are some reasons why you should consider purchasing a midi dress.
1. They are ridiculously comfy
The one I'm wearing is from Nude Lucy and it's legit the most comfortable dress I've ever worn. It's really stretchy and allows movement whilst still hugging the figure which is really flattering. Sometimes I find tighter dresses a little more flattering then a flow-y midi dress because I feel like they can swallow you up if you aren't careful with the cut. I often wear a midi dress and hoodie around the house because they're so easy to move in and comfy.
2. Wind doesn't bother them
There is nothing worse then putting on a mini dress and the wind blowing it up for the whole day. The. Worst. Midi-dresses are a dream because if they do blow up because they're a bit flow-y you're probably not going to flash your undies and if you're wearing a form-fitting one it won't even move. How good is that?
3. They layer ridiculously well
I find that these are my go-to for the days where it's chilly but the sun is out because you can chuck a bomber jacket or leather jacket over top and they still look super cute. If you live somewhere where the weather is super up and down *cough* VICTORIA *cough* they're a must!
What I'm wearing: Nude Lucy Midi dress (couldn't find link but view current range here) | Uncle Jack Watch | H&M Bag (not current) | My Girl Sunglasses | Solsana Melody Boots | Topshop Moto Jacket (not current- similar one here) | Lack Of Colour Fedora (not current – similar here)

Targeting Heterogeneity with C++ AMP and PPL
Previously, I blogged about key trends in software development starting with concurrency/parallelism, and indeed today multi-core systems are everywhere. You can target multi-core systems from many mainstream programming languages, and with Visual Studio 2010 we delivered market leading tooling for parallel development and debugging. You can see my post on our concurrency enhancements to C++ for VS2010 and here for a walkthrough of our parallel debugging tools.
In the last few years, we have been seeing an additional trend of heterogeneous hardware where, for example, developers take advantage of the GPU for computational purposes for their data parallel algorithms. This has been successful in narrow verticals using niche programing models. Microsoft wants to bring to the mainstream the ability to write code that takes advantage of heterogeneous hardware like GPUs. So like we've done with multi-core before, we are bringing this ability to the next version of Visual Studio.
I'm excited to announce that we are introducing a new technology that helps C++ developers use the GPU for parallel programming. Today at the AMD Fusion Developer Summit, we announced C++ Accelerated Massive Parallelism (C++ AMP). Additionally, I'm happy to say that we intend to make the C++ AMP specification an open specification.
By building on the Windows DirectX platform, our implementation of C++ AMP allows you to target hardware from all the major hardware vendors. We expect that it will be part of the next Visual C++ compiler and fully integrated in the next release of Visual Studio experience.
In addition, there is more work that we are doing on parallel computing. We also announced new enhancements to the next version of Parallel Patterns Library (PPL) and the C++ Concurrency Runtime. You can find easy-to-use C++ templates and runtime support to express algorithms for your domain expertise which scale on any provided hardware with PPL, Agent and the C++ Concurrency Runtime. With C++ AMP and PPL, we aim to make the next version of Visual Studio the most productive environment for targeting heterogeneous hardware available.
We will be making the session recording from Herb Sutter's keynote session and Daniel Moth's break-out session from the AMD Fusion conference available shortly. Please check the Visual C++ Team Blog or Channel 9 for those videos.

I am excited to be joining in with Coffee Work Sleep and the #LittleLoves bloggers this week, as I have loads to tell you about. Some weeks pass with very little worth mentioning happening! I am not going to leave you hanging, let's get straight to business.
I have started reading Liane Moriarty's, The Husband's Secret. I'm about a third of the way through, and sometimes I have had to pause to keep a track of all the characters, but on the whole I am enjoying this book. I still haven't actually found out what the secret is, but the suspense keeps me turning the pages. It is currently available on Amazon from £1.99. Just click here.
I'm late to the game as always, but Mr C and I have started watching Suits, and we are really enjoying it. It is an American lawyer drama, featuring a young associate, and his learning curve in the business. I love the sarcasm and wit, it really appeals to my sense of humour. It is currently available on Netflix or Amazon
I listened to Aaron cheering on his brother at Sports Day. They have such different personalities, I feel like a first time mum sometimes with Aaron. He is becoming very opinionated, boisterous and cheeky, yet he is still adorable – most of the time!
I also finally got around to making this diet coke chicken, that is loved by slimming world fans! And even though I had to adapt the recipe a little, it was really tasty.
These shoes I picked up in Shoe Zone for about a fiver. They are quite possibly the first pair of canvas shoes I have owned since leaving the GB but I might just be tempted to get a few more in a similar style!
And Lastly:
My last #LittleLove is the reason I didn't join in last week. I was off gallivanting on a little trip to London with my Mother. Having a cup of tea in Harrods has long been on her wish list, so I decided to treat her for her birthday. It was a real whistle stop tour, and as well as every tube station, we managed to see some of the sights such as Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Oxford Street and Covent Garden shops.
The real purpose was the visit to Harrods though, and I have to say I loved browsing through the homeware departments, and just admiring the luxury of it all, even if I did leave empty handed.
All in all, a pretty good week for me, and I hope you had one too!

PROJECT BLUE BOOK – Season 1 Episode 10 – SPOILERS
The official explanation for the 1952 UFO sightings over Washington D.C. was a temperature inversion. At least they didn't blame it on plovers. In the show's fictionalization of events, the UFOs themselves are depicted accurately. In D.C. in 1952, there were a great many unidentified objects that flew with great maneuverabililty and speed. (The objects moved at around 160 kph most of the time, but were able to rapidly accelerate to more than 11,000 kilometers per hour.) They were tracked by radar, and pursued (ineffectually) by American fighter planes.
Captain Quinn (Michael Malarkey) is almost certainly a fictionalized version of U.S. Air Force Captain Edward J Ruppelt, a Project Blue Book supervisor. Ruppelt was flying to D.C. at the time of the initial sightings and did not find out about them until after he arrived on the morning of 21 July. (The UFOs came on two successive weekends — 19 & 20 July, and 26 & 27 July). There were quite a few other sightings in the general area of Washington during that month, but most occurred on those two weekends. Continue reading →

The Oilers put up a fair effort against the Penguins last night, but the team's lack of offensive firepower really showed. Edmonton grabbed an early 1-0 lead and couldn't rally back after Pittsburgh scored two goals of their own in the second.
What happened?
The Oilers got off to a good start, grabbing a 1-0 lead after Connor McDavid fed Leon Draisaitl on a two-on-one for his 33rd goal of the season. Draisaitl set a new career-high in goals with this one. Another thing to note on this play: It's great having Oscar Klefbom, far and away Edmonton's best defender in transition, back on the ice. He starts this play with a great defensive effort and first pass out of the zone on his backhand.
Leon Draisaitl continues to add to his career-high goal total with his 33rd of the season. ? pic.twitter.com/7C1QaVTUW4
— Sportsnet (@Sportsnet) February 14, 2019
The Penguins tied the game up in the second period when Bryan Rust scored a short-handed goal with Edmonton's power play unit just standing around. This was a real backbreaker. The Oilers have a tough time scoring, their power play has been actually quite good as of late, and they had been solid at even strength, then they go ahead and let the Penguins back into the game with a shorty. On this clip, it's hard to tell which team has the man advantage.
Fun fact: @rustyyy_92's shorthanded goal extends his point streak to three games (2G-2A). It was his second shorthanded goal of the season. pic.twitter.com/iUy6LsUMik
— Pittsburgh Penguins (@penguins) February 14, 2019
The Penguins grabbed the lead a few minutes later thanks to some more ugly defensive zone work. I hate to be critical of McDavid given he has so much heavy lifting to do, but he just stands there and lets Teddy Bleuger skate right in front of the net for an easy tap-in goal. Any defensive effort on that play and the Penguins don't score a goal.
Step 1: Keep the puck in.
Step 2: Pass to @Letang_58.
Step 3: Make magic.
Solid goal, Teddy Blueger! pic.twitter.com/tnJBHPLBS4
— Pittsburgh Penguins (@penguins) February 14, 2019
Edmonton's best chance to tie the game came in the third when Connor McDavid was awarded a penalty shot. We've seen this move work many times before in the shootout, but this time, Matt Murray was ready for it. The Penguins would go on to ice the game with an empty-netter with under a minute to go as the Oilers couldn't manage to get a consistent attack going in Pittsburgh's end late in the third.

By the numbers…
The Oilers played very well yesterday at even strength. They beat the Penguins in terms of shot attempts 56 to 44 over the course of the game. A lot of that came in a dominant second period in which Edmonton had 21 shot attempts to Pittsburgh's nine. One very damning thing, though, is the fact the Penguins still managed to torch Edmonton when it came to high danger chances despite the Oilers being the better team in terms of possession. The Penguins had 16 high danger chances and the Oilers had just nine on the game, and Edmonton managed just one at even strength when down one goal in the third period. That says a lot about where this team is at.
- Mark Spector had a controversial tweet last night, saying that both Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl needed to be better defensively. I'm of two minds when it comes to this sentiment. At first, I was agitated by Spector calling out the team's top two players when they're tasked with so much heavy lifting. I find there's been a pattern here in which media and fans are critical of the stars (Hemsky, Hall) for the team's woes rather than the poor depth around the rest of the roster. But then as I watched plays from last night's game, I realized he isn't exactly wrong. McDavid's effort on Pittsburgh's eventual game-winner was really, really bad. As I said above, he deserves a pass for how much he brings to the team, but we can't just totally absolve McDavid of any kind of criticism. We had a front-row seat last night to Sidney Crosby and his amazing two-way effort. Late in the game, Crosby was a machine down low, making it hard for the Oilers to break the puck out of their own end. While McDavid is faaaaaaar from an issue on this team, there's validity behind being critical of areas of his game, especially on nights in which we see just how good Crosby is at both ends. McDavid and Draisaitl were pretty much the only threats offensively for the Oilers last night, but they also gave a lot back on the other side of the ice. They were on the ice for five high danger chances (of Edmonton's nine total) but they were also on the ice for 10 of Pittsburgh's 16 high danger chances.
- As I've already stated, this game really pointed out how devoid the Oilers are of offensive firepower. McDavid and Draisaitl accounted for Edmonton's only goal and five of their nine key chances at even strength. The other three lines combined for four high danger chances and were a non-factor in the third when chasing the lead. There's no immidiate solution to this. The Oilers simply need more depth offensively because you can't expect perfection from McDavid and Draisaitl.

Simple Ways To Improve Your Energy
At the school where I work as a teacher, almost all faculty members and staff report to work with coffee mugs in hand. Throughout the day, we consume additional caffeine through soda and energy drinks. Everyone seems tired, and this epidemic of fatigue seems to be common in most work environments.
If you are someone who needs to increase your energy level today, don't reach for another sugar laced, caffeinated beverage. While energy drinks provide short, artificial boosts of energy, they are detrimental to your health in the long run. Therefore it makes sense to address the root cause of fatigue.
In most cases, the tiredness that you feel throughout the day is mainly caused by a lack of oxygen in your blood. Oxygen is essential to life, and it is responsible for generating ninety percent of your body's energy. Think of it this way, you can survive for weeks without food, days without water, but only minutes without oxygen. With this in mind, you can see how oxygen is vital to your energy and health. You can increase your energy by simply getting more oxygen into your bloodstream. As opposed to dumping caffeine and sugar into your body, increasing your oxygen intake is safe, natural, and beneficial to your health. Fortunately, there are several easy ways to increase your blood oxygen level.
To begin, start moving around. If you work in an office environment, you probably spend many hours in a seat. Take a few minutes to periodically get up, walk around, and stretch. The goal is to improve your circulation because blood is responsible for transporting oxygen and nutrients to all of the cells in your body. When your circulation is poor, your cells and brain are deprived of vital oxygen. This results in fatigue.
If you have the motivation, engage in light exercise before or after work. A light jog will elevate your heart rate, improve your circulation, and provide more oxygen to your cells. Exercise is also beneficial because it encourages deep breathing. When hunched over in your seat at work, breathing becomes difficult. As a result, it is easy to develop a habit of shallow breathing. Aerobic exercise will encourage deep breathing and flood your body with oxygen. It doesn't require a lot of exercise to improve your energy. A simple goal of thirty minutes, three times a week will make a big difference.
Along with moving your body, you should also drink adequate amounts of water. Sixty percent of your body weight is comprised of water, and it is essential for transporting oxygen to your cells. In fact, every system in your body requires water to function. Therefore, it's a good idea to keep yourself hydrated throughout the day. When you feel tired, reach for a cold glass of water.
Remember that oxygen equals energy. Follow the simple tips in this article to boost your blood oxygen level. You will experience greater vitality, increase energy, and better health.

After recording a strong run at Dover a week ago, Casey Mears and his GEICO team set their sights on Pocono Raceway, a facility that has long caused them frustration. Given their marked improvement in 2014, the 2.5-mile three-cornered racetrack stood little chance against a hard-charging Germain Racing team.
When qualifying got underway on Friday, Mears hustled his No. 13 GEICO Chevrolet SS around the 'Tricky Triangle' in just 50.549-seconds, at a speed of 178.045 miles per hour, landing him 25th on Sunday's starting grid.
Clear skies and bright sunshine served as the backdrop for Sunday's Pocono 400. Mears rolled off the grid from the 25th position and quickly dropped to 29th. As early as lap two, he reported that his car was sideways, restricting his ability to exit the turns. On lap 17, he indicated that he was "loose everywhere." Mears visited pit road for a scheduled green flag stop on lap 27, where the GEICO crew provided him with four fresh tires, a full tank of fuel and a much needed wedge adjustment. The changes favored Mears, as he quickly ascended the scoring tower and cracked the top 20 on lap 57 before ultimately reaching the top 10. He appeared to get faster as the race wore on, recordi ng his fastest lap of the day on lap 107. Mears was quicker than the leader and consistently recording top 10 lap times.
All went well for the bulk of the afternoon for Mears and his GEICO team. Things turned interesting with 17 laps to go when Kyle Busch, Kasey Kahne and Carl Edwards got together, bringing out the event's final caution flag of the day. Mears avoided the crash, but as he went low to miss the spinning cars, he hit a drainage gully that briefly sent his GEICO machine airborne and also caused damage to the radiator ductwork. Airflow to the engine was restricted, causing it to run at an excessive temperature, leaving Mears down on horsepower for the balance of the race. When the yellow flag was displayed, Mears was in the 14th position, but a frustrating call by NASCAR forced him to restart from the 20th position, behind the No. 9 car of Marcos Ambrose. Despite the high engine temperature, Mears continued to hustle his GEICO Chevy through the final 12 laps and score a 23rd place finish. Mears' effort accounts for Germain Racing's 10th top 25 finish of the season.
"It was fun to be able to race well here and gain track position and drive to the front. The No. 13 GEICO Chevy was really strong today and that is a testament to the progress of our program and we're starting to get a handle on some of these tracks that were tough on us before," Mears said. "I'm proud of the guys and how hard we're working. We're having some strong runs this year and we look forward to continuing that in Michigan next week."

pick the weeds, keep the flowers: my year of sobriety
[ Reader's Note: What I've written here is incredibly long. I've read time and time again that people hate to read long articles online and I completely understand that. Whether you read it all or read parts of it, please know that I've put my heart and soul into this. This is my life. These are my fingers shaking as I type this. This is my mind racing as I think of the people—both those I know and those I've never met before—who will be reading this. This is me. And, much as I would have liked to for your sake, I just cannot cut down on the words I have to say. For so long I have been silent and now that everything is finally spilling out, I have to run with it. I cannot edit down this part of who I am. ]
Today marks 365 days of me living without alcohol. It's pretty hard to believe—even though I was the one that actually did it—that I've made it to this one year mark. It hasn't been easy. And I couldn't have done it alone. I am so grateful to my boyfriend, my family, my supportive friends, my therapist. Honestly, I cannot put into words how thankful I am to have some fantastically supportive people in my life who have made this difficult year much easier than it would have been if I'd been flying solo. Thank you, thank you, thank you to anyone who has sat beside me or held my hand or spoken words of encouragement over this past year. I am so lucky to have you in my life.
This part of my life—my struggles with alcohol—is something I don't ever talk about on Positively Present. For whatever reason—shame, fear, sadness, insecurity?—I've held this part of my life close to my chest. But today—fueled by the pride I feel after reaching one year of sobriety—I want to share it with you, readers. You are such a huge part of my life and I feel it is now time for me to be open and honest about this part of who I am, scary as it might be to confront the reality I spent so many years running from...
Then: Picking the Weeds
I said it over and over again: I will stop. I will stop. If I want happiness, I have to stop. And again and again I found myself pouring myself another, recollection of all of the mistakes and the sob-filled mornings melting like ice in a glass. I knew I was causing my own heartache by giving into the sparkly temptation of alcohol—a comfort I'd known since the young age of fourteen—but the older I got, the harder it was to stop. I could see, from a logical point of view, how detrimental it was to me. There were failed relationships, lost friendships, countless tear-stained pillows, mornings stained with regret, and way too many repeated offenses. Much as I didn't want to see it, tried to ignore it, I knew my drinking was hurting almost every aspect of my life. I knew every emptied bottle was launching a full-fledged attack of negativity on my life, but drinking had become such an intergal part of my life that I wasn't quite sure who I would be without it.
After over a decade of alcohol consumption, drinking had become part of me. When I thought about my life without it—even though I knew that an alcohol-free life was what I needed—I couldn't quite see who I would be. If I wasn't going to parties and bars, getting infamously wasted and waking to wonder what I'd done this time, who would I be? If I wasn't pouring the stiffest drink, making friends laugh at my determination for drunkenness, who would I be? It crushed me to realize that alcohol played a part in every scene in my life. My friendships. My family. My boyfriends. Even school and work had been impacted by my use. Without it, who was I? Would I even be me?
When I write these words now, I realize why it was so hard for me to give it up, why I was able to do so for eight months before slipping back to it again, sneaking it in like a forbidden lover for one last night of fun. It was—and sometimes still is—terrifying to think of who I would be without alcohol to fuel me, inspire me, save me, free me. It felt, back then, like alcohol did so many things for me. It was my comfort. It was my release. It was my push out the door and into the world of other people, a world where I felt uncertain and less brave than I thought I should be.
But, scared as I was to live my life without alcohol in it, a year ago today I started again down the path of sobriety—a path I knew would make my life a more positive one. Over and over again, I listened to Kelly Clarkson's "Sober," her words reminding me that me-without-alcohol was still me. Below are the lyrics that have been inspiring me, helping me to realize that my life is just like an open field, filled with flowers and weeds. And reminding me that it's up to me to choose what to tend to. The flowers and the weeds will both grow, but whichever one I dote on, give attention to, that's what will flourish.
And I don't know...
This could break my heart or save me
Nothing's real until you let go completely
So here I go with all my thoughts I've been saving
So here I go with all my fears weighing on me
[12] months and I'm still sober
Picked all my weeds but kept the flowers
But I know it's never really over
And I don't know
I could crash and burn but maybe
At the end of this road I might catch a glimpse of me
So I won't worry about my timing, I want to get it right
No comparing, second guessing, no, not this time
[12] months and I'm still breathing
Been a long road since those hands I left my tears in
but I know it's never really over, no...
Wake up
[12] months and I'm still standing here
[12] months and I'm getting better yeah
[12] months and I still am
[12] months and it's still harder now
[12] months I've been living here without you now
[12] months and I'm still breathing
[12] months and I still remember it
[12] months and I wake up
[12] months and I'm still sober
Picked all my weeds but kept the flowers
Those words reminded me that I was in there, just beyond that liquid shield I'd been hiding behind, and it would only be a matter of time before the truth of who I was came out. Living my life without drinking was just me picking out the weeds—getting rid of what was holding me back—and without them I would be able to focus on the flowers. In them, I would glimpse the real me, the sober me.
Finding the real me, the truth of who I really am, is awesome, but it's been hard. It's been really hard. Some days are easier than others. Some are painful and leave me feeling isolated from the people I love. Some days I wonder why this had to be me, why I couldn't just have a glass of wine and behave myself. But most days, yes, most days, I am incredibly grateful for my sober life. It has taken so much to get to where I am now and, as Kelly sings, "I could crash and burn but maybe / At the end of this road I might catch a glimpse of me." It's still a struggle. One day at a time. But the fact that I've made it through one year—something I never in my wildest dreams imagined I could do—fills me with such pride and hope. I did this. I can do this.
My therapist once told me to write up a piece on what my life was like with alcohol versus what it was like without it. Though I wrote this a while ago, it serves as a fresh reminder for me today as to why I stopped doing the one thing that was hurting me more than anything else. In the next section, you can read the words I wrote when I was first living a sober life, when I was first learning that I didn't need alcohol to be me.
Then + Now: Living Without Alcohol
On Saturday morning, I wake up slowly, leisurely. It may seem odd, but the first thing I think is this: I am not in pain. My head is not pounding. I do not feel anything remotely like nausea. I feel awake, alive, energized. Now most people wake feeling well on Saturday morning and think nothing of it. For me, this is an accomplishment, the first obvious sign that things have changed. I roll over and engage in a cuddle session with my dog before getting out of bed and realizing that is only eight o'clock. Eight. It has been so long since I've woken up this early on a weekend that these hours feel like a gift. Hours and hours of free time—free time I will not spend curled up in a ball on the couch watching movies and moaning about the mistakes I made the night before. I shower. I clean my apartment. I eat a healthy breakfast; no greasy hangover food for me today. I have time (and an ache-less head) for reading. I have the energy to talk on the phone for more than five minutes. I walk the dog without feeling as if each step causes a hammer to begin pounding erratically inside my head. It has been a long, long time since I have felt this healthy and this alive.
In the past few months, a lot has changed in my life. Not only has my social life changed dramatically, but my emotional and physical lives have changed as well. First, let's start with the obvious: the weekends. The focal point of every weekend used to be drinking. Ever since high school, the weekly questions were: Where am I going to go to drink? Who am I going to drink with? If no one is available to drink with me, what am I going to do? Every single week, the questions were the same. Sometimes it was one night, sometimes two, but as long as I could find someone to partake in the drinking, I was drinking. And I was drinking a lot. I was drinking so much that I wouldn't remember what I'd done—or what had been done to me.
I would wake up disoriented and sick. My body went through weekly withdrawals in the form of vicious hangovers. I was physically ill for the majority of my weekends. I was also emotionally un-well. When I was drinking, I often cried. I often got angry at those around me. I did things and said things I was disgusted to recall the next day (if I could recall them). I would wake frequently with the "booze blues"—a feeling of sickening disappointment and despair when I realized what I'd done the night before or thought about the feelings/events I'd been trying to forget when I'd chosen to drink so much. I knew I was wasting my weekends, and this made me angry. Here I was with only two free days a week and I spent them on the couch with pounding headaches and dizzying recollections of my mistakes.
Of course, all of this changed when I gave up drinking. Now that I no longer focus on who I am going to drink with or where I will be drinking, my mind is free to think of other ways to spend my time. When I get together with friends on the weekends now, I am sober. Our conversations and activities are meaningful to me now. I realize now that so many of my friendships were based on a mutual desire to get as drunk as possible as often as possible. The connections with those people were not real. When I spend time with friends now, I realize I am just getting to know them—the sober people they are on a daily basis—and I am, in turn, showing them my true self. It's not always easy to do this. I am not used to being sober with friends. I am used to being uninhibited by alcohol, and without it I feel less open. But with each sober experience, I feel it getting easier. I am slowly adjusting to being social without the mask of alcohol to hide the real me.
And the real me has experienced extreme emotional changes over the past few months. I used to feel so sorry for myself. I would make mistakes while drinking. I would drink to erase dealing with them. I would make more mistakes. It was a vicious cycle and, rather than taking responsibility for it, I would simply cry, "Why me?" I was sad both when I was drunk and when I was sober. I was angry at myself for being sad. I would lash out at myself and at others. I would act and speak irrationally. I would blame others and I would also accept a great deal of blame that was not mine to take. I drank to numb the feelings that were aching to come out. I did not want to feel and, when sober, I avoided my emotions at all costs. When I would drink, however, they would boil to the surface and splatter everyone around me. I would be covered in the mess and I would spend most of the next day (or days, depending on how bad the mess was) wallowing in it. Swimming in sadness, I would find a way to avoid it again. I would drink or sleep so I did not have to feel.
Now I allow myself to feel without the cloak of alcohol. The feelings I have now are rational, followed by a series of questions I can ask myself when I am sober (and logical). What is making me feel this way? Why is this feeling important? What can I do to address this situation? The task of asking, of course, is not simple. It is (and may always be) hard for me to feel. My instinct is push the feelings away, but I am learning to sit with them, to be okay with their presence, and not to avoid them. It has been months since I cried for no known reason. It has been months since I've uncontrollably sobbed, felt sorry for myself, or classified my state of mind as "miserable." This is not to say that I am constantly happy. I am just much more mindful now and aware of my emotions. If I feel something, I think about it. I sit with it. I do not run from it. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I have been pushing away from emotions of any kind (good or bad) for so long that it is extremely difficult to embrace them. However, not all emotions are bad. Without alcohol in my life, I have felt emotions more strongly than I did in the past. This means I can feel the good emotions more too. I feel happiness in a way I'm not sure I can recall having experienced before.
Happiness is not as elusive as I once believed it to be. If it leaves, I know it will come back. Happiness is part of me; it is not just a visitor. Sometimes it's not obvious, but it's always there. When I feel happy now, sober, I let myself be happy. To some, this might sound odd—either you're happy or you're not—but it is not that simple. Happiness used to scare me and, like all other emotions, I would avoid it. Learning to embrace it, to be in a moment and to feel joy without thinking about the future or the past, is an amazing experience and it is something I could not do before I started down this road to recovery. I used to look over my shoulder, waiting for the next bad thing. Now I know that I have the ability (though I may not always do it) to just be.
The removal of the frosted glass clouding my vision has clarified things. Everything—friendships, conversations, feelings, daily tasks—is clearer now. Through sober eyes, I can see my life—and my past—from a more objective point of view. Now I can see why I am the way I am, and it is not and never was my fault. My emotional state, my physical state, and my social life have all been affected by the past, but I know now that I don't have to live in the past. I don't have to keep repeating the same mistakes. I can—and I do—live now.
Now: Keeping the Flowers
Everything I wrote about what had changed in my life when I first stopped drinking is still true. Everything is better for me now. That doesn't mean it's easy to be around alcohol and not drink. It doesn't mean it's easy when I think about my past and I have to see it as a separate part of my life. Every day it's hard. Every day I have to experience my life without an escape from my emotions. If I am upset or unhappy, I cannot cloud my mind with something that makes me forget. I have to deal. I have to be present. And it's hard sometimes, but it's also real.
Before I was living my life in a field filled with weeds. Some of them were beautiful; some I even mistook for flowers. But now that I've cleared the field of them, picked them out one by one, I can see the true beauty as the flowers unfurl their long stems. I can see the way the field was meant to look, filled with vibrant color. I know now that these flowers were there all along, waiting in the weeds. It just took me a while to clear things out, to give them the room they needed to grow.

Love cows!
Pledge to go dairy free
Like other mammals, a mother cow must give birth in order to produce milk. Calves are taken from their grieving mothers - around 2 million killed as young as four days of age. They are regarded as unwanted by-products.

Price of a Babysitter in 01807
|1 Child (per hour)
|Multiple Children (per hour)
|With Tip (per hour)
|$14.4 – $21.6
|$14.4 – $24.8
It costs about $14.4 per hour (for one child) to hire a babysitter in 01807, that's about $0.95 more than the national average of $13.44 per hour. Additional children can cost up to 50% more per child that needs care but many sitters charge much less or nothing additional for two kids. A tip is not always necessary but always appreciated. 10 to 15 percent is common but again, not a requirement.
Book a Sitter in 01807 Tonight
Many of the 01807 sitters above respond within 24 hours, and some of them much faster than that. You can certainly get a sitter for tonight in 01807 but the earlier you request one the better your odds will be. Give it a shot tonight!

Kate Rusby - Night Visiting Songrate me
I must away love, no longer tarry,
This roaring tempest I have to cross
I must be guided without a fall
Into the arms I love the best.
And when he came up to his true-love's dwelling
He's knelt down gently upon the stone
And through the window he's whispered soft
Is my true-lover within at home?
She's raised her up from off her pillow
She's raised her up from off her bed
And through the window she's whispered soft
Who's that disturbeth my own night's rest?
Wake up, wake up, love, it's your own true-love
Wake up, wake up, love, and let me in.
Oh how the wind blows and how it rains,
Oh I am wet, love, unto the skin.
She's raised her up from off her pillow
She's raised her up and let him in.
They were locked in each other's arms
Until the long night was past and o'er.
And when the long night was passed and o'er
Oh when the dawn clouds *they* did divide.
He's leaned down gently and kissed her soft.
He's saddled up and away did ride.
He mounted up on his horse and away did ride.
He's mounted up on his horse and away did ride
Thanks to curiousfaerie hotmail for these lyrics

Otis Technology
Otis Technology
It took one bad day of hunting to inspire then 16-year old Doreen Garrett to become an entrepreneur. While pursuing a deer in a swamp, Doreen hooked her boot on a submerged root. She and her firearm ended up deep in the mud. She tried to remove the mud that was lodged in the barrel of her rifle with a stick, but had no luck. The disappointment of missing the hunt inspired her to develop a small portable gun cleaning system.
The system, called "The Whole Kit and Caboodle", contained everything needed for cleaning a rifle in the field. At 16, Doreen took her prototypes to industry trade shows selling them one kit at a time. Her family helped her keep up with orders by making cleaning systems at the kitchen table.
In 1985, Doreen incorporated and named the business, Otis Products, Inc. "If you have an idea, stick with it," says Doreen. "My first patent attorney told me my idea was not patentable. I'm glad I didn't listen to him." Today, Doreen and Otis Products, Inc. have more than 24 trademarks and 10 patents.
Otis received four SBA-guaranteed loans from 1997 through 2001, totaling more than $6 million. Sales have increased dramatically since the company received its first SBA loan. In 1985, Otis had 9 employees; today the company employs 160 people. Doreen has taken her small business from the family home to a recently expanded to a 65,000 square foot, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in rural Lewis County, New York and a Research and Development Center located in Phoenix, New York.
Today, Otis Products, Inc. is one of the nation's leading manufacturers of firearm maintenance systems. Otis products are sold to our Armed Forces, the FBI, DEA and other federal and law enforcement agencies. Large retailers such as L.L. Bean, Gander Mountain, and Cabela's also sell Otis products.

Oddly enough I cannot find the important and highly topical transcription factor in the TRANSFAC database. I want to perform TFBS prediction and want to make sure NANOG is included in the results.
I have run a few gene promoters which are experimentally proven to be targeted by NANOG through some of the TRANSFAC prediction programs, but NANOG does not show up.
Any suggestions onhow to proceed. Are there any other decent prediction tools other than TRANSFAC.
Many thanks

Below is a statement from NEW GPC Inc in response to a misleading article that was published in today's Kaieteur News:
The NEW GPC Inc categorically rejects the totally erroneous and fake news item published in today's edition of Kaieteur News under the headline "$1B drug contract awarded 3 days before 2015 elections…New GPC fails to deliver – Ministry of Public Health".
The fictional story is a word for word reprint of the identical story carried by the newspaper on May 12th 2015 under the headline, "US$12.8M drug contract to NEW GPC". The only addition is to claim NEW GPC did not deliver any of the pharmaceuticals for which it won the bids to supply.
NEW GPC would like to make it pellucid that IT HAS SUPPLIED ALL DRUGS FOR ALL ITS CONTRACTS WITH THE GOVERNMENT for 2015, including all rollover contracts. The delivery notes and other necessary documents are available as proof of this statement and available for inspection. The Auditor General Office, which would have conducted their audit during 2016 can attest to the veracity of this statement.
In another section of the media, the $400 million contract reported by Stabroek News for drugs to Georgetown Hospital that was supposed to have been awarded to NEW GPC for emergency supplies for 2017, is also not true. The NEW GPC obtained an order for $20 million of medical supplies in 2017 which were already delivered. We do not know if this was an 'emergency'.
We note also the billions of dollars in sole-sourced contracts to other pharma suppliers, including Ansa McAL in 2015, 2016 and 2017. We expect the authorities would have better explanations for the contracts that were all sole-sourced, other than for "emergencies", which was also the explanation for the Albuoystown "warehouse" lease.
The NEW GPC is concerned about the apparent compulsion by public officials to use the Kaieteur News to smear the reputation it has laboriously rebuilt over the last two decades. NEW GPC calls upon the politicians to desist from using these types of fake news as diversionary tactics from very real problems the health sector is facing. It is our fiduciary duty to the shareholders of NEW GPC, which includes the government, to leave no stone unturned to defend their interests.
The NEW GPC prides itself on its professional approach, as the leading Caribbean manufacturer of pharmaceuticals, to maintain the supply chain in an area of national life where it is literally a matter of life and death for our citizens.

In recent months I've found myself liking pink a lot. I was never the pink sort of girl. In fact, as a kid I despised pink. I think I resented the fact that, as a girl, I was just supposed to automatically like pink. So now, as a grown ass woman, I'm finding in my 40s that pink is okay after all. I originally thought of calling these pics Pretty In Pink, but tbh I'd be shocked if I hadn't already done that, because hello, 80s girl here. So then I thought of the big Reign closet from a couple of Arcade rounds ago and thought well it IS kind of a Barbie pink… and went for the play on Barbie's Dream House. Which, btw, I never owned. 😦 So sad, right? Anyway.
If you've been hiding in your giant, walk-in, two story closet you may have missed that Collabor88 is celebrating its 6th birthday! Crazy, right? I've bought items from every round, which is possibly even crazier. This month's theme was a brightly colored plastic one, though, and I admit… I was a bit hesitant because plastic just isn't my thing. However, the designers pulled off some really clever interpretations of the theme and I wound up liking quite a lot more than I expected! Great for shopping, less for my budget, but hey the big birthday round only happens once a year, right? Anyway, here I'm wearing a couple of items you can find at Collab's birthday event. One is the jelly bracelets from Atomic. Raise your hand if you had tons of these as a kid… oh, wait hard to type with one hand in the air. We called them "Madonna" bracelets, as she made them iconic. They were cheap and we did all sorts of weird things with the way we wore them. So I naturally had to have them. My shiny pink dress by Decoy with the awesome scoop neck is also from Collab's birthday round.
My adorable shoes are from the new Blush event. They are by friday and they have an option (for Maitreya only) that includes socks. I went sockless here for this look. These sandals are so cute. They've got a crazy platform heel and the bows are just too cute. Blush closes August 28th, and it's full of so much cute that you definitely want to check it out ASAP. My hair is by Exile. This style was released for FLF in 2 exclusive color huds. I don't know for sure if it will be available as a regular Mainstore release, but I love it SO MUCH that I really hope so. I love the heavy, blunt bangs, and the long pulled back style.
Now, let's talk about my head (and other strange things you hopefully only say when talking about SL!). This is Greer, one of four(!!!) new LeLutka bento heads. All of the bento heads got an awesome update recently, which you can read about on the LeLutka blog. Among the updates are a lot of new animations, which are really cute. As always, the LeLutka heads are preloaded with skins by Glam Affair. You get all the tones, and I'm wearing Jamaica here. I am wearing one of the Tropical eyeshadow colors from Mila, available at Cosmetic Fair, which runs through August 31st. I used the blender to fade it a bit, but the colors are all gorgeous and I love how well they applied! My eyes by [theSkinnery] are another Blush release, and they come in a lot of fun, flirty colors. My earrings and necklace are Cae's Shooting Star collection.

Labour Exploitation Accountability Hub
Definitions: Human Trafficking, forced Labour and slavery
The Accountability Hub looks at accountability for exploitation in supply chains that either alone or together with other factors, constitutes human trafficking, forced labour and slavery. Sometimes these forms of severe exploitation are collectively called 'modern slavery'. Each of these terms has a definition under international law, though individual countries may use different definitions.
Human trafficking
The international legal definition of human trafficking or 'trafficking in persons' is found in the UN Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children (the "UN Human Trafficking Protocol"). It requires states to criminalise human trafficking, to take steps to prevent and prosecute traffickers and to protect victims.
Article 3(a). "Trafficking in persons" shall mean the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation.
Exploitation shall include, at a minimum, the exploitation of the prostitution of others or other forms of sexual exploitation, forced labour or services, slavery or practices similar to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs.
Human trafficking is a crime that is focussed on the process of bringing a person into or holding them in a situation of severe exploitation. Human trafficking occurs in almost every country in the world and in many different labour sectors. It can involve the movement of victims from one country or to a series of countries, or it can occur wholly within a country or even within a town or city.
Forced labour
Forced or compulsory labour is defined in the Forced Labour Convention, 1930 (No. 29):
Article 2(1)… forced or compulsory labour shall mean all work or service which is exacted from any person under the menace of any penalty and for which the said person has not offered himself voluntarily.
Labour is the provision of any work or service, not just manual labour. Forced labour therefore covers a wide range of work, from forced work in factories and on farms, to forced prostitution or forced begging, and can include both legal and illegal activities.
The "menace of any penalty" may mean physical violence or restraint, but it can also be of a psychological nature, such as threats to denounce victims to the police or immigration authorities when their employment status is illegal.
Even where the person enters work on a seemingly "voluntary" basis, that "voluntary offer" may be the result of deception or a situation in which a person has no real alternative, which removes the voluntariness. Its also important to note that even in cases where an employment relationship was originally voluntary, subsequent coercion or restriction on leaving a job, including withholding of wages, can be considered forced labour.
The Slavery Convention 1926 defines slavery as follows:
Article 1. … Slavery is the status or condition of a person over whom any or all of the powers attaching to the right of ownership are exercised.
In most countries of the world legal "ownership" of a person is no longer possible. Therefore the key element of slavery is the victim being treated as if they were owned (e.g. being bought, sold, locked up, required to work without pay) in a way that deprives them of their freedom.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Ecuadorian government today issued Julian Assange an official identification number, #1729926483, in an announcement that called him a citizen of Ecuador and pledged to work with the international community to find safe passage for Assange out of the Ecuadorian Embassy in London.
In an official statement, the Ecuadorian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Human Mobility announced that the government of Ecuador "will continue to seek solutions, in strict adherence to the norms and procedures of international law, in coordination with the United Kingdom, a country with which the best relations of friendship and cooperation are maintained."
Today, Assange broke ten days of silence by tweeting a photograph of himself wearing a yellow jersey from the Ecuadorian Marathon FEF football team, strongly suggesting his enthusiasm that the Ecuadorian government has chosen to play a positive role in finding a way for Assange to leave his current asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy in London.
Trump cleared path for Assange to leave London
On Jan. 4, Infowars.com reported the Trump administration had cleared a path for Assange to leave London, marked by a motion filled with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Dec. 29, 2017. In the case Roy Cockrum vs. Donald J. Trump for President, Trump's attorneys argued that Julian Assange had a right under the First Amendment to publish the DNC and John Podesta emails, even if the emails were stolen.
The case was orchestrated by Project Democracy, a group run by former attorneys from the Obama administration, arguing that then former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone had conspired with the Russians to publish the DNC and Podesta emails.
On Jan. 2, WikiLeaks posted a tweet announcing the U.S. government had ended its eight-year-long grand jury proceedings against WikiLeaks that was expanded in 2017 to cover the WikiLeaks various "Vault" releases on CIA spy technology.
The WikiLeaks tweet referenced a State Department press conference held that day, Jan. 2, 2018, in which State Department Spokesperson Heather Nauert in a press briefing made a strong statement regarding freedom of speech that was couched in a reference to Iran.
The WikiLeaks tweet confirmed the State Department reference to freedom of speech in Iran was a coded communication intended to extend the umbrella of free speech and press rights to WikiLeaks in a clear reversal of the policy in which both CIA Director Mike Pompeo and Attorney General Sessions have argued that arresting Julian Assange is a priority. It is not clear that Assange violated national security laws, even if it can be shown he published classified U.S. national security documents.
Specifically, Nauert said the following:
"We support a freedom of the press here in the United States. We support the right of voices to be heard. And when a nation clamps down on social media or websites or Google or news sites, we ask the question, "What are you afraid of?" What are you afraid of? We support the Iranian people and we support their voices being heard."
Technically, Assange has not yet been indicted of any criminal offense in the United States, nor is it clear he has committed any crime. Under the Supreme Court Decisions New York Times v. Sullivan, 376 U.S. 254 (1964), and in the Pentagon Papers case, New York Times v. U.S. 403 U.S. 713 (1971), a journalist is allowed to accept and publish classified documents provided by other sources.
Sweden drops charges against Assange
In May 2017, the government in Sweden dropped the rape case against Assange, ending the four-year-long attempt by the Swedish government to arrest Assange via a European Arrest Warrant.
A recent decision by a United Kingdom tribunal also appears to have vitiated the arrest warrant issued by a British court in 2012, after Assange violated his bail conditions to take refuge in the Ecuadorean Embassy.
On Dec. 29, 2017, Assange posted a tweet that referenced an article published by the Guardian on Dec. 14, 2017, citing a United Kingdom tribunal that declared WikiLeaks to be a media organization and a free speech advocate – designations that could carry a legal importance in placing Assange under "free speech" protections both in the UK and in the United States.
Did QAnon telegraph Assange extraction to Switzerland?
A QAnon post on the Internet bulletin board 8chan on Christmas Day and a series of messages posted on Twitter by Julian Assange on New Year's Day appear to deliver a coordinated message that an extradition for Assange from his sanctuary in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London is imminent.
While interpreting posts intended to be cryptic is not a science, those following QAnon understand QAnon has forecast several important developments in code, in an effort to mobilize Internet-aware Trump loyalists.
Ultimately, the question QAnon is raising is this: Will President Trump pardon Julian Assange?
The QAnon Christmas Day post read as follows:
On Jan. 1, 2018, Infowars.com posted on Scribd.com a decoding of this cryptic QAnon Christmas Day post.
– Using gematria, the numbers 10, [10-9] are translated into the letters JA, the initials of Julian Assange with "J" being the 10th letter of the alphabet and "A" being the first. The operational window for Assange's extraction from the Ecuadorian Embassy in London is signaled to be later this week, Jan. 5-6, 2018.
– Assange being extracted with the blessings of the Trump administration is suggested by the designation FDeltaC, referencing a Federal Detention Center of undetermined location. The location being outside the United States is suggested by the "Delta" designation.
– Dec. 25-26 references Emanuel Leutze's famous painting depicting George Washington's historic crossing of the Delaware River on Christmas night in 1776. With "painting" being posted in synch on the internet bulletin board 8chan by both QAnon and by the U.S. Department of Defense on Dec. 25, 2017.
With the possibility Assange might return to the United States, the "storm" QAnon has been predicting appears ready to begin.
QAnon's reference to "Secured" suggests the path for Assange to return to the United States has been secured at the highest level of the U.S. government, with the knowledge and approval of President Trump.
QAnon's reference to "Floor is yours" suggests this is Assange's opportunity to drop key files on Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign and the hoax of "Russia collusion" developed by CIA Director John Brennan and propagated to the mainstream media with the assistance of Google's Eric Schmidt.
The comment "Twitter FW" suggests Twitter will be used by Assange to communicate with the public as the extraction mission goes forward. The additional comment "Twitter [kill_rogue] suggests Assange will post key information on the Twitter account @kill_rogue.
Finally, the notation "CONF_WHITE_WHITE" suggests Assange's initial destination of Switzerland has been confirmed. Switzerland's national flag is a white cross (WHITE_WHITTE) against a red background.
On New Year's Eve, Julian Assange posted on Twitter a cryptic string of numbers that appear to be a "Dead Man's Switch," linking possibly to a new cache of WikiLeaks documents Assange's associates would post should Assange be arrested.
Assange's New Year's Eve post also embedded a video of the song "Paper Planes" by singer M.I.A. that linked to YouTube.
Again, in what appears to have been a synchronized post, @kill_rogue retweeted Assange's New Year's Day post and asked, "What words do you hear in the song?"
The second line of the lyrics in the song reads, "If you catch me at the border I got visas in my name …"
