Uses For Multaq
Dronedarone is used to lower the chance of going to the hospital for serious heart rhythm problems in patients with a history of paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation. Dronedarone belongs to the group of medicines known as antiarrhythmics. It works directly on the heart tissue and will slow the nerve impulses in the heart. This helps keep the heart rhythm normal.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
Before Using Multaq

We know why weed resistance occurs, and we know it is happening now, so why aren't we doing a better job of delaying it?
That's the question asked by University of Georgia Extension Weed Scientist Eric Prostko during the recent Beltwide Cotton Conferences in Atlanta.
"We know we get weed resistance due to the repeated application of herbicides with the same mode of action. This occurs more in annual weeds that have high populations or are highly distributed and are prolific seed producers, such as Palmer amaranth pigweed," he says.
Everyone at the Beltwide and at other conferences and meetings is talking about resistance, but it's not a new phenomenon, says Prostko. "It has been happening since 1968. My point is we know why it happens, and we know that it does happen, but it's not getting any better. So why can't we do a better job of delaying it? We can't prevent it because we can't prevent what Mother Nature is going to do," he says.
One of the hindrances to resistance management is economics, he says.
"A lot of growers aren't thinking long-term, they can't. They're thinking about how they'll make it to next year and pay the banker," says Prostko.
Another hindrance has been reluctance to change, he adds. "Think about what has happened from about 1997 to 2004. Weed control became very easy and very cheap or at least relatively cheap. Now we're talking about going back to some things we used to do, and that's significant. We've expanded acres and people don't cultivate anymore, so to go backwards is a hard pill to swallow."
Some deny the problem
There's also denial about having or ever getting the problem, says Prostko. "There's also a belief out there that there's a new herbicide on the horizon, but there's not, at least not a new mode of action that will give us some relief from the load that we're putting on current herbicides."
In Georgia, he says, resistance management is taking several forms. "We hear a lot about crop rotation, and we know when you rotate crops you can do other things. If you look at the data, cotton is the least competitive crop with Palmer amaranth. Going to a crop that is more competitive is one reason for going with a rotation, along with some of the other benefits you receive."
Tillage and cultivation also are receiving more interest, he says, maybe not plowing every year but at least once every three or four years.
"We're also doing some extreme cover crops. This is where a grower will plant a rye cover crop in the fall and manage it to get to the maximum height and then terminate it in the spring with herbicides and rolling, and then strip-till into it. That cover crop has a suppressing effect on Palmer amaranth, but that's not something everyone can do."
Row spacing is another factor, says Prostko. "While we don't grow a lot of soybeans in Georgia, we still grow a few, and we plant some of those in wide rows. Palmer amaranth doesn't like shade, so we know if we go to a narrower row, we can pick up some benefits."
Everyone knows by now, he says, that we can't rely strictly on herbicides. Other things must be done in the battle against resistant Palmer amaranth pigweed.
"One of my responses to what can we do about Palmer amaranth is to dig a well," says Prostko. "We need residual herbicides, and the only way we can get them to work is with water. In Georgia, about 50 percent of our cotton and 50 percent of our peanuts are irrigated. We should be able to do a better job."
Modes of action can be a scary term because it has to do with chemistry, he says, and no one likes chemistry, but you don't have to be a scientist to understand what it means.
"Some herbicide labels will have it clearly on the label. The University of Georgia has put together a master list of herbicides with their common name, trade name and mode of action, as well as putting the modes of action in our recommendations.
"We also want to encourage growers to put together a long-term resistance plan or mode of action plan. This is where we write down the rotation or the sequence and fill in the blanks with the herbicides you'll use. When you come to the end of the column, you can figure out how many modes of action you have, and you can see where you're making two or three applications of the same mode of action."
Other things to be considered are tank-mixtures or pre-mixtures, says Prostko. "For these mixtures to be most effective in delaying the evolution of resistance, ideally they must have different sites of action, they should have similar efficacy and persistence but also different propensities for selecting for resistance or different modes of action."
Key to survival?
Many say that residual herbicides are the key to survival, and that every acre that is planted should have a residual on it, he says. "As a weed science community, we should never promote the absence of residuals. And in a lot of cases, one is not enough. You might use two or in cotton you might need three to do the job."
More emphasis should be placed on removing escaped plants so they don't put seed back into the field, says Prostko. Also, in Georgia, there has been a significant increase in the interest and use of non-selective applicators.
"We're not actively promoting these with cotton and soybeans, but we are with peanuts. We feel we can get the height differential in peanuts to give us the kind of control we need where we can't consistently with other crops. There's still a lot of work to be done."
And of course, hand-weeding is another option, he says.
As for post-harvest treatments, some of this has been done previously in Georgia for tropical spider wort, he says.
"We'll start harvesting corn at the end of July, early August, and we might not get our first frost until mid-November. If you look at the published data, pigweed can go from seed to seed in 35 days. We have ample time between corn harvest and first frost for another crop of pigweed to become established. So we have to start doing something about that if we're going to get a handle on it."
But it depends, he says, upon the size of the weed, and if you're going to plant a small grain. "I don't think we can get very effective control if a pigweed is bigger than 6 inches. Gramoxone, 2,4-D and dicamba have been used quite a bit. You can put out a residual in the fall, but I wouldn't if I planned on planting a small grain in November."
Georgia growers can finally stop worrying about Palmer amaranth at about the middle of October, he says.
As for the future, Prostko says he's extremely concerned about developing resistance to the PPO herbicides.
"In Georgia, we're using a lot of Reflex and Valor, and we're extremely concerned about keeping the longevity of those products. Some weeds have already developed resistance to this mode of action, including two species of pigweed. It will happen, and it may be out there already and we haven't seen it. You could conceivably use 16 PPO herbicides in four years — that's definitely a bad idea."
He's also concerned about the abuse of Ignite.
"Abuse is a harsh word, but the weed science community was not harsh enough in the case of Roundup Ready. I want to be extremely harsh and say we're abusing Ignite.
"In some cases, we're seeing three applications made on crops, and that's a recipe for resistance. We already have resistance to Italian ryegrass and goosegrass to Ignite. It will happen. I hope we learned our lesson from what happened with Roundup."

W.L. Weller 12 Year Bourbon, $25, 45%abv (90 Proof)
Color: Deep Amber/Copper
Nose: Caramel and Butterscotch, ripe banana, candied almonds, flint, and toasted oak.
Flavor: Buttery, rich, and sweet. Butterscotch, vanilla custard, baking spices, and oak resin breaks up the sweetness
Finish: Toffee and warm, soft cinnamon spice.
Overall: An excellent wheated bourbon at an even better price. Soft, sweet, and rich with enough oak and spice to keep things from becoming too syrupy. This is a big big step up from W.L. Weller 7 year 107 Proof. Highly recommended.
Sour Mash Manifesto Rating: 8.8 (Outstanding/Superb)
Van Winkle Family Reserve 12 Year Old Bourbon (Lot B), $50, 45.2%abv (90.4 Proof)
Color: Deep Amber/Copper
Nose: Butterscotch, banana pudding, toasted pecans, and buttered cinnamon toast with a rising wave of oak.
Flavor: Absolutely stunning mouth feel – silky and velvety. Tastes of puddle of butterscotch sauce over vanilla ice cream. It's sweet and concentrated and then quickly cut with pretty strong dry cinnamon spice and some oaky astringency that interplays wonderfully with the sweetness.
Finish: Butterscotch, cinnamon candy, and some bitter char remain on the finish.
Overall: A seriously great bourbon whiskey. Like the Weller 12 it's sweet, buttery, and rich, but this one ramps up interest significantly with more spice and barrel. Is it worth the price increase? Well that's for you to decide, but it's an outstanding pour. Highly recommended.
Sour Mash Manifesto Rating: 9.2 (Outstanding/Superb)

HTML Template of a TRAC:CC Report
Just in case this might be useful to others, I've created a report template based on the "Trustworthy Repositories Audit & Certification: Criteria Checklist" report. It has the section, subsection, criteria and evidence from the original report marked up in an HTML document -- ready for you to add the narrative on how your repository meets the criteria. The original report included a table-style layout as an appendix; personally, I like this more free-form narrative approach.
I need to set work on this aside for a moment -- if anyone gets to filling out appropriate portions based on the Fedora digital object repository, please let me know.

If you're planning to develop a game engine or other Java software that needs 3D graphics, consider using Java Binding for OpenGL (JOGL). This low-level Java API acts as a bridge to the underlying platform's OpenGL technology. In this installment of the Open source Java projects series, Jeff Friesen introduces JOGL. Learn how to use JOGL to bring OpenGL's high performance and powerful features (such as shaders) to your Java-based games.
The open source Java Binding for OpenGL (JOGL) project introduces hardware-supported 3D graphics to Java programs running on Solaris, Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X platforms. JOGL provides access to the OpenGL 2.0 APIs, and to most OpenGL vendor extensions. Also, JOGL supports Java 1.4 and later versions.
Here are some more facts about JOGL:
- JOGL provides AWT and Swing components for integrating 3D graphics into GUIs.
- JOGL supports the OpenGL Architecture Review Board (ARB)'s GLSL and Nvidia's Cg shader languages.
- JOGL only supports truecolor (15 bits per pixel and higher) rendering.
- JOGL uses New I/O (NIO) internally in its implementation.
- JOGL is written almost entirely in Java. Most of its native code is autogenerated during the build process by a tool called GlueGen.
- JOGL supports some of the most popular features introduced by Magician, GL4Java, and other Java bindings for OpenGL. For example, JOGL supports Magician's "composable pipeline" paradigm, which can provide faster debugging for JOGL applications.
JOGL past, present, and future
JOGL originated as a project named Jungle, which was created by 3D graphics experts Ken Russell (of Sun Microsystems) and Chris Kline (of Irrational Games). JOGL is currently maintained on the java.net-hosted JOGL project site, under the leadership of Russell. JOGL is evolving into the official reference implementation for JSR 231: Java Binding for the OpenGL API.
This article explores JOGL by first showing you how to obtain the current release build, and how to compile and run JOGL-based applications. After discussing JOGL's demos, the article teaches you how to create your own JOGL programs, animate their scenes, and take pictures of these scenes. Finally, you examine JOGL's texture support.
Lack of space prevents me from providing a comprehensive overview of JOGL and its foundations in OpenGL. To learn more about JOGL, I recommend that you read the JOGL user guide (located in the release build archive). To learn about OpenGL, I recommend that you read the OpenGL programming guide -- version 1.1 is freely available on the Web.
Get started with JOGL
The JOGL project site's main page presents a link to the current release build of the JOGL software. Follow this link to download a release build for your platform, along with documentation, demos, source code, and signed JAR files for use with Java Web Start. For example, I downloaded the version 1.1.1 release build for my Windows platform.
Open source licenses
Each of the open source Java projects covered in this series is subject to a license, which you should understand before integrating the project with your own projects. JOGL is subject to the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) License.
Specifically, I downloaded and unzipped the
jogl-1.1.1-windows-i586.zip release build archive. The resulting
jogl-1.1.1-windows-i586 home directory contains some text files, a user guide HTML file, and (most importantly) a
lib subdirectory. This subdirectory contains the JOGL implementation in terms of JAR files and native Windows libraries (DLLs):

For those of us with pets, it can be difficult to strike a balance between aesthetic appeal and animal friendliness. Indeed, our furry friends tend to be curious and even a bit mischievous from time to time! Keeping them safe and entertained throughout the day requires special efforts, and it might mean that certain decorative measures are off limits.
Luckily, with some imagination it is possible to embrace the pet-friendly mentality and create something truly unique. Today on homify360, we've found one such home in Japan by Pal Design. Much like the increasingly popular cat cafes that are cropping up around the globe, the abode combines cute and cosy finishes with plenty of cat friendly surfaces throughout, successfully integrating the felines right into the decorative scheme. We hope you'll join us for a closer look inside!
At first glance you may not even notice how kitty friendly this space is. Decorated with the simplicity and colour schemes traditionally associated with Japanese design, this abode might seem on the surface just like any other family home found in this part of the world.
Yet, upon closer inspection, it is clear that this space was designed around the needs of its feline inhabitants. First and foremost, there is an elevated a catwalk situated around the perimeter of this living room for the cats to observe their domain.
This setup allows for the felines and their human companions to live side by side in perfect harmony. The cats can hang out in their own special spots while the people have the sofas to themselves to enjoy a movie or football game under their watchful gaze. Everyone is happy!
Meanwhile, the home contains some elements of modern design, like this crimson floor lamp, to keep things stylish.
While cats are widely known for their finesse and cleverness, it is natural to wonder just how they might get up to the catwalk in the first place. With the help of these wall- mounted platforms, the kitties can easily go up and down as they please.
Plus, the steps look much like a set of simple floating shelves, which further helps to integrate the cat friendly elements of the space into the surrounding decorative scheme.
The fun doesn't stop in the living room! As we head down the hallway it is clear that this home is filled with clever little spots for the cats to play.
What appear to be shelves or some kind of funky wall décor turn out to be a set of mini staircases for the cats to enjoy additional climbing in the apartment. Using vertical space in your smaller abode is an excellent way to ensure that your felines have enough room to stay active.
As we mentioned earlier, the various cat-oriented items mounted on the walls often look similar to bookshelves, which ultimately helps to better integrate the cat friendly details into the design scheme more broadly.
In this case, these floating boxes double as both shelves and kitty perches! Their design keeps the cats from meddling with the items on the shelves.
For more ideas about how you can make your home functional for your felines, check out these cat friendly ideas.

Firefighters Grab Unattended Child from Rapid City Apartment
RAPID CITY - Authorities in Rapid City say firefighters forced their way into an apartment and pulled out a 16-month-old child who was alone as smoke detectors buzzed from a smoldering kitchen stove.
The fire department's Monica Colby tells the Rapid City Journal that callers reported hearing the smoke alarm and warned there might be an unattended child in the apartment. Colby says there was also a visible glow from a window of the fire that was intense enough to melt the knobs on the stove.
Police say the 38-year-old mother returned as firefighters and police were at the scene. Officers arrested her on a driving under the influence charge.
Police are continuing to investigate why the child was left alone in the apartment.

How to Unwind During the Holidays
The holiday season is upon us and it's so easy to get stressed out about everything that needs to be done. Here are a few creative ways to unwind and clear your mind.
Take Time to Play
There is nothing like playing outside. Running around playing tag, playing sardines, jumping on the trampoline or hide and seek are all glorious wastes of time. You're going to feel great getting outside and the colder weather makes your body work harder so you burn more calories! You're being silly, having fun and most importantly, you're not inside with the dust bunnies. Stuart Brown with the National Institute for Play (yes, Virginia, there is such a thing) says that everyone benefits from play time. Stuart says that it boosts your sense of well being, mental health, physical health and strengthens relationships. Whether that's with your kids or your spouse, the ability to play enthusiastically is a great stress buster. If you don't feel like bundling up, that's OK. Even playing a board game or inviting friends over for cards can help out a lot.
Beat the Crap Out of Something
Struggling at work? Trying to get over a bad breakup? Just need to let off some steam? Kickboxing is awesome. It's a great healthy way to get out your frustrations, work up a sweat and get healthy in the process. If you've ever been so mad you could just punch someone or if you've ever dreamed of kicking in a door, you go through both of those motions and it feels so good. I was at a class once and the trainer asked me "Who are you mad at?!" He could just tell I was getting out some pent up frustration. You leave feeling much better about things. Not just because you beat the crap out of something, but because the exercise gets the endorphins going and makes you feel good.
This next one is hard for me, but sometimes I just need to do it from time to time. Just be quiet. Some self guided meditation at home can be of real benefit. Just find a quiet space somewhere and just sit there. Don't bring your phone, don't bring a book, don't turn on the TV, don't think about work, don't allow your kids to disturb you, don't let anything distract you from your main focus – you. If that means finding a quiet place in the house, taking a bumble outside or taking a bath. Just let the day melt away. Don't think about the past or what's for dinner. Just be present in the here and the now. Just don't talk to yourself or anyone else.

Background: A native of Co. Monaghan, Rory Duffy is an award-winning Savile Row tailor who owns Rory Duffy Handcraft Tailor in New York.
How did you become interested in men's bespoke tailoring?
"My grandfather was a tailor. I always knew when I was growing up as my mother spoke of him often. She learned some basic skills from him and passed them onto me."
"I always sewed as a child, especially when I joined the army reserve at age 17. Before I had any formal training I was making hats and hoods and camouflage jackets. When I turned one of my mother's dresses into a jacket for a costume party, my girlfriend urged me to join the trade. When I left secondary school I decided to become a tailor and sought out a master to train me.
"At 30, I am the youngest in this industry with my skill set, training and experience.
"I strove to win the Golden Shears [the Oscars of the tailoring world] from the first moment I heard of the competition. On the 16th of March 2009 in front of my parents, my master and peers, I accept the most coveted award in the tailoring industry. It meant everything to me."
Which garment do you prefer working on?
"My favorite garment is the dress coat/evening tail coat. I specialized in coat making/ jacket making at Henry Poole, and while there I learned how to cut and make tail coats like the one I made for the competition. A senior tailor in New York I spoke to told me I was probably the only tailor in New York who knew how to make one.
"The principle of cut used for the dress coat is the same as I used for my suit jackets, and that's what set them apart in the industry. Cut to fit onto the neck and close over at front when worn. It's a waist coat with a hollowing at the side waist which accentuates the drape in the chest.
"I put a little skirt on the hip to give the coat some flare. The armhole is cut high and the sleeve full so the wear has optimum movement."
Who are your fashion influences?
"There is little about mainstream fashion that excites me, constantly moving from one fad to another in order to sell clothes and keep the costumer interested.
"Tailoring is more wholesome than that. We try to create a classic, timeless suit that's never out of fashion. I frequent vintage stores looking at old suits, their details, how they were made -- clothing from a time when men dressed like gents."
You once helped tailor a suit for Al Gore. What was that like?
"Al Gore is a client of a New York-based custom tailor who I worked for at the time. He ordered three suits and I made each of the jackets. The cloth was cut by the head tailor and I made the coats through to buttonhole and pressing.
"I was invited to each of the fittings to assess the progress and carry out the alterations. A well tailored suit gives a man status in any room."


text: Latest Analysis News India's border games with China are a lose-lose situation for New Delhi China has strongly admonished India to remove its troops from a disputed territory in the Himalayas. It would be to India's advantage to withdraw troops and commit to constructive dialogue with China. Published 2 years ago on July 18, 2017 By Adam 1,303 Views Share Tweet China is furious at India for moving troops into a disputed territory in the Himalayas at the triangular intersection of the borders between China, India and Bhutan. The current stand-off is the most serious since the 1962 border war fought between China and India in which China scored a decisive victory. China has recently conducted live-fire military drills in the region in a move that is clearly intended to demonstrate China's seriousness over the issue. Today, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lu Kang issued the following statement to India, "We have stated many times that we hope the Indian side will get a clear understanding of the situation (and) immediately take measures to withdraw the troops that illegally crossed the border back to the Indian side of the border". The proximate cause of the tensions originate from China building a road in the region. The construction started in June of 2017. In a broader sense however, the tensions over the territory are related to a wider geo-political game that India under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been playing a great deal lately. India is currently positioning itself as both a buyer of expensive US military hardware, a friend of the US and its Israeli ally, as well as a recent member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) which includes both Russia (a long time ally) and China (a 20th century adversary). While India is one of the first stops along China's proposed One Belt–One Road world commerce initiative, India more frequently acts as though it's China's regional rival than a partner in either the SCO or One Belt–One Road. The background to this development was recently discussed in The Duran, "Any remaining hopes that the US could cause a rift between Moscow and Beijing ultimately failed to understand that whereas the Nixon administration exploited an existing, substantial split between the two communist super-powers, Russia and China are now allies and no amount of sweet-talking (however patronising) from Washington could create a new Sino-Russian split in 2017. READ MORE: As China's leader comes to Russia US acts to end Trump-Xi friendship The proximate timing of America's sale of weapons to Chinese Taipei (aka Taiwan) and Chinese President Xi's visit to Moscow is of course the final blow in any attempt by Washington to seriously 'restart' relations with China. Of course, America's economic dependence on China will continue into the foreseeable future and Beijing is well aware of this. Of equal importance to America's distancing itself from China was India Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the United States. The visit was filled with positive platitudes about the healthy state of US-Indian relations. Trump and Modi of course have something in common as two major world leaders with an almost visceral dislike of Islam, an inconvenient truth that far too many in the press have ignored. However, a common hatred of a major world religion may not be enough to create a meaningful alliance, not least because ultimately the US and India have a very different idea of what a war on "radical Islamic terror" would look like. India and specially Modi's war with Islam is an internal matter, NATO's war with various Islamic powers is all about geo-politics and global economics–just ask the leaders in Doha and Riyadh. Ever since India achieved independence from Britain in the 1947 (with full republican independence arriving in 1950), China and India's relationship has been fraught to say the least. After initially hopeful signs in the 1950s, things deteriorated so badly by the 1960s that in 1962, China and India countries fought a short but worrying war over a border dispute centred around Aksai Chin. India's support of Tibetan separatists throughout this period served to exacerbate these tensions. As the Sino-Soviet split became ever more pronounced, the USSR became ever closer to India. As a result, China began cultivating a closer relationship with Pakistan. To this end, China actively backed Pakistan in the war against India in 1965 and was also generally supportive of Pakistan in the war between the two Asian powers in 1971. Things began to slowly improve in the 1980s although China and India nearly went to war again over border disputes in 1987. Both sides eventually stood down before any fighting could commence". China has warned India that peace-talks on the disputed Himalayan territory will not be able to continue until New Delhi withdraws its troops. India is testing the United States as much as it is China, in some ways more. China's position on the matter is clear and has been stated clearly multiple times. China maintains its territorial claims in the region and any further discussions must be done only after India acts on promises to de-militarise the region. By contrast, while the United States is de-facto eager to disrupt progress on China's New Silk Road (One Belt–One Road), India is not one of the hot-spots of disruption for the US at this time. Beyond selling India weapons, the US does not have troops in the contested region. It has become apparent that when it comes to Asia and moreover South Asia, the US is concentrating on eliciting a response from China through provocations in the South China Sea region rather than in or around India. Assuming this trend continues and it likely will do, India may find that it does not have any substantial support in its dispute with China. Unlike during the Cold War, Russia is manifestly closer to Beijing vis-a-vis New Delhi in 2017. This puts Russia in the position as a potential mediator in the dispute, but if Modi continues to play games of cat and mouse with China expecting to rely on Moscow for help, it means he is clearly mistaken. In this sense, India's position is out of date in respect of Russia and out of sync in respect of the United States which remains squarely focused on the South China Sea as well as fomenting conflicts in other areas along the New Silk Road that are far to the west of India. America will not jump when Modi says so, no matter how positive his meeting with Donald Trump appeared to be. It remains in India's interests to view China as a complimentary economic partner rather than a territorial let alone economic rival. If India tries to 'beat' China in either of these two spheres it will clearly lose a great deal, including Moscow's patience. By contrast, if India embraces the cooperative spirit of both the BRICS organisation and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation, India could find itself in a key position as a major producer and manifold transit point along China's New Silk Road. This is not only the most realistic option for India but by far the most practical and economically sound. As I previously wrote, "At a time when Pakistan is becoming ever more tired of its relationship with the US which earns Pakistan little in material terms and even less in terms of dignity and with Russia and China leading by example as two former Cold War adversaries who now form the 21st century's most important geo-political alliance, India under Modi is playing side-games when it ought to focus on the bigger picture which means reconciliation with both China and Pakistan for the long-term economic prosperity of all Indian people. Modi seems to be a man guided by a lust for outsmarting the world. One often wonders if he is really only outsmarting himself. His anti-Muslim rhetoric which is now having violent consequences on the streets of India, combined by his public displays of political affection for both the United States and Israel is not in the interests of the Indian people, not even the Hindutva base he represents and riles up. India's future is with a combination of long time friends (Russia) and former adversaries (China and Pakistan). Her future never was in the west or its allies like Israel, although nothing is precluding India from trading with such countries minus the geo-political overtones that Modi tends to revel in and which countries like the US and Israel are all too willing and able to exploit. Nixon talked about being "suckered" by Indira Gandhi. By extrapolation, can we now say that Narendra Modi is suckering himself?"

Russia's food sovereignty has practically been achieved, as the Russian central bank continues to buy gold and lower its exposure to western financial markets. Remember to Please Subscribe to The Duran's YouTube Channel. Follow The Duran Audio Podcast on Soundcloud. Via TASS… Outside pressure in the form of sanctions has become an incentive to resolve various issues of Russia's economy, Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev stated in an interview with the Izvestiya daily. He noted that through introducing sanctions against Russia, "the West aims to destabilize Russia's economy and to create social and political tensions in society." "But during the difficult times, Russians have always stuck together and mobilized their resources in order to ensure the country's sovereignty. This is what is happening now – the outside pressure has become an incentive to resolve many problems in Russia's economy," he said. "Before the sanctions, it seemed that we would never be able to feed ourselves and that we are doomed to be dependent on Western import. However, right now, Russia's food sovereignty in crucial sectors has practically been achieved, and in some areas, Russia has become the leading exporter," Patrushev noted. Those who apply the sanctions "can see that they (the sanctions – TASS) are ineffective and often achieve the opposite goal," the Russian security chief concluded. Liked it?

Published 13 hours ago on March 26, 2019 By Richard Galustian The 'witch-hunt' against President Trump over Russian collusion has officially ended, following the submission of the Mueller Report, enabling us to now focus on the real problems of America that effects the whole world. In the hope of a waining of the Russophobia in America, let's look at the US's recent war history by starting with the 20th anniversary this month of the NATO war on Serbia in 1999 which amounted to almost 100 days of bombing of historic cities and infrastructure. Firstly, these problems are, in the main caused by the Neocons, or Deep State, whatever you wish to call them, and the continuing promotion, by the US Military-Security Industrial Complex, of wars and regime change and secondly, Trump's unreserved support for Israel, regardless of war crimes they may continue to commit against the Palestinians. Incredibly after that one sided unjust and illegal war that NATO executed, NATO has the audacity to invite Serbia to join it! Something that will never happen. What do they smoke in DC, in the Pentagon and Brussels based NATO? To compound these overall problems, the US Military and Israeli Defence Forces collaborate on these US regime change policies on all continents evidenced most recently by the arrival of crack Israeli troops last month in Brazil, prepared to support an attack potentially by Brazil and Columbia on Venezuela. As, has now come to be expected, America pursues its Venezuelan regime change with full main stream media (MSM) cooperation, using well proven sophisticated propaganda techniques along with a variety of pretexts. From Serbia to Iraq to Libya, where does it end? Observe that Trump is now seeking a 'NATO alliance' offering NATO status, to President Bolsonaro of Brazil to back the invasion of Venezuela. So it is important to remember, as an example, that after a long war of economic and financial destabilization ended with the bombing of Serbia. Serbia was previously a part of Yugoslavia, a country which had successfully evolved after 1945 to solve the old rivalries of the 19th and early 20th Century Balkan ethnic animosities which was, prior to the advent of power of President Tito, its past history. The United Nations, instead of supporting, in effect, so called 'humanitarian wars' and 'regime change wars' by the US, using NATO, helped and relentlessly driven home by MSM outlets like CNN and FOX NEWS into people's heads, must finally take a stand. So too, Yugoslavia, once the envy of many in the world, given its then 'non-aligned' status under President Tito, was destroyed and broken up; 'Balkanized' in the early 1990s. The Serbian assault began first by a 'financial war'; by sanctions and finished off by an aggressive unprovoked incessant NATO bombing campaign. That's what we can expect in Venezuela next. This 'Balkanization' strategy similarly applies to Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria et al. It serves US Neocon interests to dismember States in the world and create smaller more 'manageable' countries. 'Regime change' runs against the intent, the very words contained in the US Constitution. No one in MSM ever reminds us of that fact. Nevertheless America's ambition to overthrow other States continues, which they arrogantly now make no secret of. The next States will probably be Nicaragua then Iran to name but two. A very noteworthy most recent outrageous unilateral declaration was made by President Trump, not yet formally agreed by US institutions, 'giving' something he has no authority to give; Syrian territory, the Golan Heights to be precise, to Israel. Something that one day could trigger a full scale Arab-Israeli War. This is of extreme importance yet no real outcry comes from world leaders; well not so far. The main reason for that decision given by senior US Administration figures is that "God anointed Trump to save the Jews". Not forgetting Trump's need (which we the people don't understand exactly why) to support Prime Minister Netanyahu in his difficult upcoming elections in Israel – in part because both countries failed to 'regime change' Syria – but more importantly to help the 'financial terrorists' who formed a company jointly that has already started drilling for oil in the Golan Heights. You might like to know who owns such oil drilling company which should answer a plethora of questions in one go that you must be asking yourselves. The shareholder's names tells us everything; Dick Cheney; Baron Rothschild and Rupert Murdoch. The titular heads of neocons, bankers and media on the planet. In ending there is no more evidence required for us, the people of the world, to rise up against the globalist dark forces wherever they exist, be it in Brussels, London, France or Washington. We must demand democratic elections or start revolutions, the latter has already begun in France in the form of 'the yellow vests'. And Brexit, by definition, is a rejection by the British people of globalism and American Hegemony. The pattern of US destabilization and destruction of States to loot them of their sovereign resources is the unseen history of the last 100 years, not taught in any university, anywhere in the West. As far as Ukraine is concerned, its government was taken down by the CIA and replaced by an ultra fascist regime that has full backing from America. This is no secret. But the MSM simple don't report it. US led NATO is 'the transnational war machine' of the world, devouring almost all free countries wealth. It can extort to terrorize all into conformity to the global 'carcinogenic' US Neocon imperialistic strategy. A total estimated 20m people around the world have died since the end of WW11 at the hands of US Forces. Think about that for a moment. One of the most famous sayings attributed to America's great President Abraham Lincoln is about deception: "You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."

Published 13 hours ago on March 26, 2019 By RT Via RT… The European Parliament has voted to adopt the highly controversial Article 13 provision which would govern the production and distribution of content online under the auspices of increasing copyright protections. Tuesday's move will update the EU's 20-year-old copyright rules and will govern everything from audiovisual content to memes, much to the dismay of many social media users who have already begun outpouring their grief online. MEPs passed the legislation by 348 votes to 274 Tuesday. Opponents had hoped for last-minute amendments to be made but their efforts were in vain.

New controversial copyright law underway for Europe 😢 https://t.co/6tjXfRspCK — Marietje Schaake (@MarietjeSchaake) March 26, 2019 Just in: Memes are now illegal https://t.co/TyCWwJ9xR7 — Mark Di Stefano 🤙🏻 (@MarkDiStef) March 26, 2019 Julia Reda, a German MEP with the Pirate Party, described it as a "dark day for internet freedom." Article 13 or 'The Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market' makes all platforms legally responsible for the content hosted and shared on their platforms. The process of updating the bloc's copyright laws began in the European Commission two years ago, ostensibly to protect Europe's publishers, broadcasters and artists and guarantee fair compensation from big tech companies. By essentially forcing companies like Google, Facebook and Twitter to pay artists and publishers for the reproduction of their work online, include in meme format, the EU is effectively clamping down on online memery. The onus will now be on tech companies to clamp down on content-sharing on their platforms, which will likely ensure yet more draconian policing of speech and content. EU member states now have two years to pass their own laws putting Article 13 into effect. Tens of thousands marched in protest across Germany ahead of the vote, decrying what they viewed as severe online censorship. Tech giant Google said that while the directive is "improved" it will still lead to legal uncertainty and will damage Europe's creative and digital economies. Critics have argued that the only way for Article 13 to be effectively enforced would be through the use of upload filters which automatically check content to see if it's copyrighted or not, at least in theory. However, the exact mechanics of such a system have yet to be fully debated and the potential for abuse is immediately clear. Liked it? Take a second to support The Duran on Patreon!
