How to Pray When You Find Yourself Living in A Divided Nation

I am burdened by the division and arguing that is now more prevalent than ever in our country. Professing believers often seem more concerned with expressing their opinion than they are about dialoguing in a way that points others to you. Sadly, we the church, are not behaving much different than the world behaves. I know that must grieve you, that none of this has come as a surprise to you, and that none of it is out of your control.

Here are 10 things to pray as well as verses from Scripture to guide you.

Pray for the Church to be a Light

Pray for the Church to be a Light

I pray that we would be a light in this darkness, remembering that our most important identity is that of being your child, and that we would conduct ourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel.

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16)

"But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ." (Philippians 3:20)

"For here we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking the city which is to come." (Hebrews 13:14)

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him” (Colossians 3:15-17)

Pray for Compassion

Pray for Compassion

I pray that we would learn to listen to one another other, that we would be compassionate towards those who are confused or afraid, and that we would weep with those who weep.

"Rejoice with those who rejoice. Weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud...Do not be conceited." (Romans 12:11-15)

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God."  (Matthew 11:29)

"I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace..."  (Ephesians 4:1-32)

Pray for the Oppressed

Pray for the Oppressed

Give us a heart for those in need and for those who are oppressed.

"Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors him" (Proverbs 14:31)

"Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God." (Hebrews 13:16)

"Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." (Luke 12:33-34)

"Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” (Psalm 82:4)

"But if anyone has the world's goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God's love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth." (1 John 3:17,18)

"In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’" (Acts 20:35-38)

"Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world." (James 1:27)

Pray for the Church’s Relationship with God (and Each Other)

Pray for the Church’s Relationship with God (and Each Other)

I pray that we would seek your face, read your Word, and encourage one another with truth.

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you." (Psalm 32:8)

"Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing."

"May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had." (Romans 15:5)

Pray for Peace

Pray for Peace

I pray that we would not give in to a spirit of fear but embrace your Holy Spirit. Maybe we be known as bold ones carrying peace with us wherever we go and speaking peace with whomever we encounter. Help us to lay anxieties at your feet, not let them stir in our hearts.

"Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord."  (Isaiah 43:4)

"The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." (Proverbs 14:23)

"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." (John 16:33)

"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all." (2 Corinthians 4:17)

Pray for the Church to Remember God

Pray for the Church to Remember God

I pray that we would remind each other of your faithfulness and find hope and encouragement in all that You have done.

"Remember the former things long past, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like Me." (Isaiah 46:5-6)

"Remember His wonderful deeds which He has done, His marvels and the judgments from His mouth..." (1 Chronicles 16:12)

"But I have trusted in Your lovingkindness; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. I will sing to the LORD, Because He has dealt bountifully with me." (Psalm 13:5-6)

"Come and see the works of God, Who is awesome in His deeds toward the sons of men. He turned the sea into dry land; They passed through the river on foot; There let us rejoice in Him!" (Psalm 66:5-6)

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful." (1 Corinthians 1:9)

"Your faithfulness continues throughout all generations; You established the earth, and it stands." (Psalm 89:1)

"I will sing of the lovingkindness of the LORD forever; To all generations I will make known Your faithfulness with my mouth." (Psalm 92)

Pray for Heartfelt Worship Together

Pray for Heartfelt Worship Together

I pray that we would focus on You and on what we have in common, by praying and worshipping together.

"I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." (Psalm 121:1-2)

"And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." (Hebrews 1: 24, 25)

"Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints..." (Ephesians 6:18)

"Pray without ceasing." (1 Thessalonians 5:17)

Pray for Humility

Pray for Humility

Show us how to honor those in authority over us, no matter who is in leadership; but allow us to clearly discern and humbly speak out against whatever is blatantly contrary to your Word.

"Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves. For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same." (Romans 12:1-7)

"First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and dignity. This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior."  (1 Timothy 2:1-3)

"Remind them to be subject to rulers, to authorities, to be obedient, to be ready for every good deed." (Titus 3:1)

"Submit yourselves for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right." (1 Peter 2:13-14)

"And Jesus said to them, 'Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.' And they were amazed at Him."  (Mark 12:17)

Give Thanks to God

Give Thanks to God

Thank you for this moment in history that is being used to stretch us, test us, and cause us to cling all the more tightly to You. You are our only hope.

"Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and perform your vows to the Most High, and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.” (Psalm 50:14-15)

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."  (Philippians 4:16)

Pray for God to Use You

Pray for God to Use You

I pray that I would be an instrument of peace and unity, one who finds her peace and hope in You alone.

"Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy.

O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love..." (Prayer of St. Francis)

Cycling Without Age Chichester

by Cycling Without Age Chichester in Chichester, England, United Kingdom

Cycling Without Age Chichester

raised in 110 days

Please help us get our first volunteer-powered Trishaw, to get elderly Chichester residents out to feel the wind in their hair by bike!

by Cycling Without Age Chichester in Chichester, England, United Kingdom

What's this all about?

Everyone knows someone elderly and everyone can appreciate how isolating old age can become, regardless of the current pandemic situation.

Cycling Without Age Chichester plans to help relieve this isolation and bring some fresh air and happiness back into the lives of many of our family, friends, neighbours, and the community in general.

A "trishaw" is a specially built bicycle to allow 2 passengers to be piloted by a volunteer around their local community. The passengers are safely transported around the local area, passing the local sights and places of interest, and into nature to help them reconnect with their local community that they may feel they have lost touch with. Rides are slow and allow for stops to chat with passers-by; they can vary in length and route depending on the situation. Nothing like a good nosey around to see what's happening!

We are looking to raise funds to purchase our first trishaw to allow us to bring this project to life in Chichester.

What are the benefits?

The benefits of this project are three-fold:

1) To bring happiness to the passengers. The elderly and isolated may often not leave their residence for days on end and the chance to get out and see the town, breathe the fresh air, enjoy the local nature and chat to others out and about can give enormous benefits for both physical and mental health.

2) To allow local residents to volunteer to give back to their local community (as little or often as they wish). Often residents wish to volunteer to support others (as evidenced by the recent overwhelming response to call for NHS Volunteer Responders), but are unsure how. This project is a simple way to get involved - it's as easy as riding a bike!

3) The connections that this project will give all those involved - the passengers, the pilots, the organisers and the community. These connections, however small, are immeasurable in their value - they can be a simple smile, to the planting of a seed of something bigger.

What is Cycling Without Age?

Cycling Without Age is a global initiative established in Denmark in 2012. Since then, the movement has grown to over 2,200 locations in 50 countries around the world. There are already very successful chapters across the UK (locally in Weymouth, Southampton, Portsmouth and Brighton), but not yet one in Chichester! Please see for more background information and plenty of inspiring stories and videos.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been and still is an enormous challenge for everyone, but if anything, it has brought to the forefront of people's minds how much more we can do as a community to support those often locked out of sight. Please support this project to prove that good things can come from even the most bleakest of situations.

Who is behind this project?

A new cycling organisation called BrightRide will handle the delivery of the project.  We are supported by Chichester Community Development Trust, ChiCycle, Friends of Centurion Way, the Chichester & District Cycle Forum amongst others.

Helping Hand

raised in 214 days

+ est. £2065.00 Gift Aid

We're already helping vulnerable Fifers get through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. Give us a Helping Hand to do more.

by Fife Voluntary Action in Glenrothes, Scotland, United Kingdom

New stretch target

We'll build further on our work and support even more vulnerable individuals, families and communities to survive the impact of this crisis.

We've been inundated with requests from vulnerable and concerned Fifers since the COVID-19 crisis hit- people who now can't get access to shopping, to their prescriptions and to other essential services or support. We've been working hard to get help to these people, from organisations we work with and from the army of volunteers who have come forward to offer a Helping Hand.

What are we already doing?

  • We've partnered with NHS Fife and local pharmacies to deploy a prescription delivery service available to all 87 pharmacies and every patient in Fife who can't collect their medicine.
  • We've partnered with Fife Council, foodbanks and others to deliver food parcels to the needy and self-isolating.
  • We're supporting frontline workers at Fife Council, NHS Fife and charities across the region to keep delivering essential services.
  • We're registering and mobilising an army of volunteers who are eager to help those in their communities to survive this crisis and its impact.

What will my donation buy?

  • £10 could provide a vulnerable person with electricity for a week
  • £20 could buy fuel to help volunteers deliver essential prescriptions
  • £30 could buy a box of essential food and household items for a family

Every last penny of your donation will go towards an individual or family in need. We won't be taking a penny to cover our own costs. Fife Voluntary Action is a registered charity but we're using our existing resources to cover all of the costs of staffing this project.

We'll be working to ensure that those most at risk see the biggest benefit. We want the flexibility to be able to help where we can - to not just co-ordinate a response from elsewhere when we see a crisis situation, but to be able to take firm, direct and effective action.

The more money we raise, the bigger our impact can be.

What makes you different from other organisations raising funds?

We're the Third Sector Interface for Fife. That means that we're funded by the Scottish Government and Fife Council to provide essential services to Fife's charities and communities all year round- but we have not received any additional funding to do this work. We have strong relationships with all of our public sector partners, and with third sector leaders across the region, and are well-placed to coordinate and deliver support services. We've got a strong track record in delivery and our accounts are open and transparent.

What are people saying about our project?

"They are doing a fantastic job and getting back to people so quickly means such a lot".

"I registered my elderly Dad as potentially going to need some assistance (if for any reason we, his family, were taken ill). [FVA's staff member] got back to me immediately and was absolutely lovely. Credit where it's due; just having that reassurance was helpful".

What do we need?

We want to raise at least £25,000 to enable us to deliver critical, responsive support to individuals, families and communities battling the impact of this crisis.

We ask project owners to honour their rewards wherever possible but please note that all pledges are donations and there is no guarantee that you will receive any rewards from the project owner. Please see Crowdfunder's Terms of Use for more information regarding rewards for pledges.

Alcohol Abuse When Does Use Turn to Abuse?

There’s number appropriate definition for alcohol punishment, since it is very uncertain to know or define. To the pleasure, we could establish signs of alcohol abuse as a border line between both periods namely, standard users and alcoholics. Theoretically speaking, liquor abuse is known as as a pattern of drinking that harms one’s health, societal relationships, or power to work.
Image result for alcohol abuse
What is the cause of the abuse of liquor? One reason is disappointment to meet responsibilities at work, school, or home may result in strain, which tempts anyone to consume a lot. The act of liquor punishment below these conditions meets two key needs. The requirement to feel joy, which is usually experienced when consuming, at the very least originally, and the need to avoid suffering, which subsides very quickly when drinking begins. The vicious range of alcohol punishment is exacerbated by the truth that alcoholic behavior usually creates more pressure and suffering in your lifetime, and the enthusiast can turn to alcohol to deal with that pain.

What are the Consequences of Liquor Punishment?

Extended and excessive use of alcohol will eventually lead to alcoholism. Again it is rather unclear to differentiate the apparent symptoms of liquor punishment and alcoholism. But you will find particular methods to acknowledge the symptoms of alcohol punishment and take precautionary measures before it is also late. A number of the early signs of abuse are sneaking beverages, regular storage blanks while engaged in drinking, repeated accidents because of excessive drinking, unwillingness to talk about concerning the drinking habits with household and buddies, and feeling responsible over the consuming habit.

Therefore what’re a few of the different effects that arise because of the punishment of liquor? There are lots of and a number of them include going late for work, trouble with authorities for consuming and driving, and hostile behavior in public. Also literally an individual is frequently influenced because of excessive drinking. The bodily signs of harming alcohol contain drunkenness, slurred speech, short interest course, uncoordinated actions, drowsiness, storage problems, and aggression.

Many those who punishment liquor believe it is not just a large issue. They’ve a thought they can get a handle on their routine easily. But that situation does not work in reality, since when a person becomes an alcoholic, it is very hard to create him back again to his standard life.

Alcohol punishment during adolescence, especially during early teenage era, can result in long-term improvements in the brain. It’s an extremely bad consequence which leaves teenagers at an increased danger of alcoholism in later years. So, it is very important that teenagers need to be taken care of at the right time to eliminate alcoholism.

If appropriate precautionary actions aren’t taken, consuming to surplus frequently may bring about destruction or violence. It has been projected that about 1.8 million deaths have now been happened because of alcoholism and 58.3 million people have been impaired due to the same.

Here is a sneak peak into the most inspiring fall displays inside Magnolia Market at the Silos in Waco, Texas. If you have visited Magnolia Market at the Silos, then you know the store displays are an inspiration to all who walk through the doors. This year’s Fall 2018 installations and displays are full of beautiful textures, natural elements and the message ‘Made Ready.’   Let’s take a look!

Fall Displays

As soon as you walk into the door of Magnolia Market, guests are welcomed by a beautiful display that changes every season.  This is great for photos to commemorate your trip to Waco.  In more recent displays, positive messages accompany the inspirational works of art.  If you have read the most recent issue of Magnolia, you will recognize the message, “you have been made ready.”   “Whatever season you’re in, whatever life may be throwing at you, whether it feels like success or like failure, expected or unexpected, you are made ready,” as written in the Fall 2018 issue of Magnolia Journal. This handmade weaving incorporates fall’s most welcoming textures, colors and even natural elements.

You can get your Fall 2018 copy of The Magnolia Journal, here!  Again, Fall at Magnolia is all about the natural elements, textures and message that you are ready and able!

Magnolia has always done an amazing job at branding themselves and creating  consistency in their style and vision.  On my last visit to the Silos, I noticed certain themes between the current issue of the magazine and the fall displays at Magnolia Market.    The latest issue of the magazine is used in one of the store displays, and some of the installations or items were photographed in other locations for the magazine.  Looking back, the magazine and store displays have always shared similar themes, beyond general seasonal periods and into storytelling and positive and inspiring messages to live your best life.

The dip dyed paintbrushes hung above a fireplace mantle are full of movement, leading the viewers eyes throughout the entire display.  One cannot help but notice how the value of color changes on the brushes from a pale yellow to a warm rust, very similar to the carefully placed autumn pear stems.   I can only imagine the details that go into planning each display, each theme and how it is incorporated between the store and the magazine.

Near the front of the store, there are five reclaimed wood mantles placed between shelves of products available for purchase.  I love how each mantle is styled differently for the season and yet each one is so creative and beautifully done. This one with the layers of letter boards is my favorite.  Its a simple idea, but executed so well!  Again, messages from the Magnolia Journal appear in Magnolia Market.

I love the simplicity of each display.  You will definitely find inspiration to decorate your home this season.  I see olive branches, fall foliage with cotton stems and seasonal fruit stems on trend this Fall. Vintage items like old books and brass candlesticks are always classic staples for Fall decor and items that you see Joanna use regularly on Fixer Upper.

Copper tapered candlesticks and fall stems make an elegant, yet simple centerpiece for a fall tablescape.

Let’s take a look at another Fall display that employs an idea that I use regularly in staging and decorating homes.  It is the classic Magnolia wreath layered over a tobacco basket!  Magnolia has taken it to a new level by creating an eye catching display with a variety of sizes of baskets and wreaths.  I love these layered in front of the window to allow light to shine through the baskets.

The designers at Magnolia Market do a great job of incorporating creative styling techniques into their store displays. You always want to look up when you are at Magnolia Market!  These glass jars with honey and herbs is such an innovative idea and takes ordinary objects to become a work of art.  The gradation from dark to light hues in some of Fall’s most beautiful colors is mesmerizing.

Here are some of the fall products displayed beautifully in the store and on shelves.

The Garden Area

The lush garden area at The Silos are always a favorite place to visit!  Definitely, garden goals! Fall is one of my favorite times to visit Magnolia, because the temperatures begin to drop in Texas around October.  Silobration is October 18-20, 2018! Will you be coming this year?  Leave me a message! I would love to know where you are traveling from!

Thank you for stopping by The Cuter Tudor!  Please check back for more sneaks peaks inside Magnolia and some of the best places in Waco, Texas!

HowTo: Change Password of Specific User Account In Linux

Hdo I change passwords for specific user account under Linux operating system using the command line?

You need to use the passwd command to changes the user’s password.

Rules for changing passwords for user accounts

  1. A normal user may only change the password for his/her own account.
  2. The superuser (root user) may change the password for any account or specific account.
  3. The passwd command also changes the account or associated password validity period.

First, login as the root user. Use sudo -s or su - command to login as root. To change password of specific user account, use the following syntax:

passwd userNameHere

To change the password for user called vivek, enter:
# passwd vivek
Sample outputs:

Change Users Local Linux Password Command Line

Fig.01: passwd command in action

To see password status of any user account, enter:
# passwd -S userNameHere
# passwd -S vivek

Sample outputs:

vivek P 05/05/2012 0 99999 7 -1

The status information consists of 7 fields as follows:

  1. vivek : Account login name (username)
  2. P : This field indicates if the user account has a locked password (L), has no password (NP), or has a usable password (P)
  3. 05/05/2012 : Date of the last password change.
  4. 0 : Password expiry minimum age
  5. 99999 : Password expiry maximum age.
  6. 7 : Password expiry warning period.
  7. -1 : Inactivity period for the password (see chage command for more information).

To get more info about password aging for a specific user called vivek, enter:
# chage -l vivek

Hatch Cover Testing and Door Leak Detection

One of the main causes for concern in the shipping and other related industries is damage that sea water can cause to a ship’s cargo, often resulting in high-cost insurance claims for shipping companies.  Cygnus Hatch Sure ultrasonic leak detector provides a fast and effective method of evaluating and testing hatch seals and doors for leaks and sealing against weather conditions to cut down on the risk of such situations.

Cygnus Hatch Sure has 19 ultrasound emitters (40 kHz) that are arranged to produce an omni-directional sound field which is uniformly distributed throughout the cargo hold.  The sound energy level that passes through the enclosed cargo hold is displayed on the receiver part of the system, thereby enabling the user to accurately and quickly locate any leakage.

Applications benefiting from leak detection equipment:

  • Test the weather / water tightness of cargo hatch covers or doors
  • Test seals in cargo access areas, such as bow, side and stern doors or any opening that needs to be sealed.

Cygnus Hatch Sure

Cygnus Hatch Sure provides a quick and effective method of evaluating hatch seals and possible leakage using ultrasonic emmiters.

My star Riley & Rainbow Emilia

I was only 18 when my life would change for the better and I would have to grow up quickly. I was young and naive but even at a young age I always put others thoughts and feelings before my own. I didn't think at 18 that my future would pan out the way it did. At the time me and my then partner, were young and wanted a baby. We weren't together for long but it felt right.

After a month of trying we conceived our baby. I always wanted a family of my own. I know that’s strange for an 18 year old bloke to want but that’s what I always wanted. This was the start of a little me that I could do father things with. I wasn't bothered about the sex of the baby at this point, just couldn't wait to meet them. Not at any stage of the pregnancy did I think anything could go wrong but then I think everyone thinks that.

There was one part that always worried me though and that’s when we went to the scans and you would have the nurse scanning the stomach for the baby and them being quiet for a minute, this always felt like a long minute, felt like forever. Then they would talk and you knew everything was fine.

At the beginning of the pregnancy we didn't have much support from her side of the family and some horrible things were said and there was so much stress. At one point I was banned from seeing her. I think they did this to make her change her mind about our child, or to make me clear off. But unfortunately for them, I was not going anywhere and I would be there no matter what.

As the pregnancy went on the stress eased and we had our first scan and finally everyone was excited from both sides of the family but not as excited as me and my partner. Everyday I would come home and there would be more baby clothes and I loved it; it made it feel more real. We found out the sex of the baby and we had already picked a name. If the baby was a boy or girl they would be called Riley. At the 20 week scan we got the sex; IT WAS A BOY!!!!!! Riley was a boy. I really couldn't wait to meet him.

As the days came closer and he got bigger it felt so real, I couldn't wait for the famous name of Riley that had been lingering around for 9 months and finally put a face to the name.

At this point I started a job in December 2010 as a carer, a dream job. I like helping others and this was a great opportunity to help others and help them live within the community. I was looking after disabled adults, challenging but rewarding and I enjoyed it. If i had a hard day at work there was nothing better then coming home and seeing my partner happy and content, glowing, with yet again more clothes she’d bought for him, it always cheered me up. I can’t remember a day that I didn’t rub her belly, talking to him, planning my dreams and the things we would do when he was born. Every time I would say I love you Riley and kiss her belly with out fail.

On the 15th of February 2011, I received a phone call at work, it was my partner. Before I answered I was shaking just thinking “oh my god it’s time she’s giving birth”. Not in a million years did I think it would be this. I answered and these will be the most haunting words I will ever hear and never be able to forget, “I’m sorry. Shane I’m so sorry”. At this time my partner had gone to Northampton general for a vaccination jab or talking about it as she is allergic to raw egg, so I didn’t think much of the appointment apart from it being normal. I tried calming her down as much as possible and said I’ll be there as soon as possible.

I rang my office to get another carer to take over, but I had to wait 30 minutes until I would get relieved from my duties. I felt so guilty for my partner at this time. All I heard was I am sorry, not knowing what’s happened but what ever had happened she had done on her own. Well I say on her own, her mum was there but I know all she wanted was me but I couldn't do that and felt like a failure.

I rang my mum and dad and said something’s happened to Riley I dunno what but its not good. Dad picked me up from work and took me to the hospital. I saw my partner and gave her the biggest hug possible. The first thing she said again was “I’m sorry”. I found out from her that Riley’s heart had stopped beating. In that moment my dreams and ambitions had sunk and shattered in a million pieces. I felt even more guilty for her as she had had 3 scans and by the first one she knew something wasn't right, and she done that on her own and I wasn't there. At that moment I wanted to just scream and burst into tears but I couldn't, I had to be strong for her.

The bereavement midwife told us what was going to happen. My partner took her tablet and we went home. When we arrived at home, I made her a cup of tea and I went upstairs into our room and broke down. Riley’s nursery was in our room and seeing his cot, clothes, pushchair everything just made it real that I wouldn't be bringing him home. I walked over to his cot grabbed his snowsuit, gave it the biggest hug and just fell to the floor and burst into to tears. I didn't know how long I was up there until my partner came up and gave me a hug and said everything will be okay. I was on my own for over an hour crying.

The following day, 16th we made our way to the hospital again. We went to reception. All we had to do was give our names and she knew why we were there. We made our way towards the snowdrop room which was at the back of maternity ward, so we passed all the delighted parents with their new born babies. All the car seats ready for them to take them home. It was horrible knowing that we won’t be taking our son home and once he was born after tomorrow, that we’ll never see him again. We got to the snowdrop room; it was a nice room considering. It had everything from a bath, kitchen and a spare bed. Even though it was a nice room, it was also a sad room, in the fact that you knew that other parents had been here as well; they had gone through the same sort of ordeal as us, it’s a scary thought. It was a special club that me and my partner would be joining, that we didn’t ask to join but we had to. A horrible club that you wouldn’t want to join in a million years. A club that two days ago I didn’t even know existed. That night we got everything prepared from his moses basket to writing poems on T-shirts. My partner slowly got off to sleep ready to give birth to our son tomorrow. I didn’t sleep what so ever that night just thinking and hoping this was just a dream. I was cuddling her all night whilst rubbing her belly telling Riley I loved him.

The morning came around on the 17th. She was up and down with her emotions which was to be expected but I had to be there and not show my emotions in the slightest; as men we have to be there for support and not to be supported. We were mainly in the bathroom all day, me rubbing her back saying “you’re doing well”. Her saying “I love you”, constantly high off of gas and air, eating straws, it was a picture. There was one point were I got dragged out of the room as I got told I needed a break. I didn’t want to go, I didn’t want to leave. I got ordered by the nurse to get a breather and my partner said I had to go, so I went with my parents outside and waited for them to smoke their cigarettes so I could quickly get back to my family and be at her side again. After the 15th, I didn’t want to be away from her so when I was outside I just felt incomplete. I ran into the hospital and back to her side.

At 14:42, Riley was born. He was perfect, blonde, rosy red cheeks and weighing 7lb 4oz. I gave my partner the biggest hug, me in tears of joy. Yeah I know he was stillborn and not alive but he was perfect. I said “I’m so proud of you. Thank you, I love you so much he’s perfect.” She asked to hold him but we couldn’t as his skull was soft, so I gave her a hug from both of us. I know it wasn’t the same but that’s the best I could do. I was so proud of her.

We would of done anything to give him a cuddle. Riley got cleaned up and placed in his Moses basket wrapped up in blankets. The family came storming in and here came the paparazzi loads of pictures were taken. Her hand didn’t leave his chest apart from the odd occasion stroking his cheek. I just looked at him constantly smiling at that moment I was a dad no matter what anyone said. We had a blessing done and put our jewelry on.

We got ready to leave after telling Riley how much we loved him and giving him so many kisses. We walked back down that corridor towards the front door still hearing and seeing parents giving birth and taking their baby home and us leaving ours there, it was horrible. I just wanted to run back and not leave at any point but couldn’t as I had to be strong for my partner.

After the weeks past with me supporting her constantly and her bursting into tears saying I want him back, what could I do or say. I couldn’t say “me too” or I couldn’t cry with her so I just hugged her saying I know. Every time she said them words it brought a lump to my throat ready to burst, it pulled at the heart strings each time but there was nothing I could do.

I had everything from her wanting to give up on living to just being emotionless. Either way I was always there keeping my emotions away and not telling her how I felt. We planned his funeral and that was huge. We planned it all from flowers to songs and designed his service sheets. When the day came it was a scene from a soap. The hearse turned up. Where they normally fit people over 6 was this tiny blue box in glass with flowers surrounding him.

We got to the chapel and me my brother and our dads got Riley out the hearse and carried him towards the chapel. My partner fell to her knees screaming “nooooo,” now I was in a situation I couldn’t run towards her and pick her up, I couldn’t support her as I was carrying our son. As the doors opened and we placed Riley on the stall, in the middle of the chapel his first song came on, ‘If the moon fell down tonight’ by Chase Coy. Everyone sat down whilst the vicar said a few words, I blocked the vicar out through the whole service just staring at this blue coffin. Riley’s 2nd song was ‘Iris’ by The Goo Goo Doll. My partner had a speech to make, so she walked to the microphone opened her mouth and nothing came out. So I read it out for her and walked her back saying she had done brilliantly. We then listened to the hymn amazing grace. Then the funeral directors came in picked Riley up and walked out with his third song playing; Def Lepard’s ‘Long Long Way to Go’. We got to the grave and you could see how loved this little boy was by the flowers. Even though he wasn’t alive, he left a little a tiny footprint on everyone’s heart and it just wasn’t our dreams that were gone but also theirs. We buried Riley with a song playing in the background knowing this is the last time I will see him, and that my dreams had been buried with him. I walked away onto the main road as I couldn’t read what people had put in the flowers, otherwise I would have broken down.

We tried for 18 months to conceive our daughter. Now this was the next big step apart from our sons milestones in between. We had everything we needed; emergency scans, appointments and they were keeping a close eye on us. The plan of the birth was for my partner to be induced at 38 weeks and give birth naturally so we didn’t go over the 39 weeks and stress out as much.

But every scan every appointment was nerve wracking, but i went to every appointment; she would never be on her own like last time and work weren’t fantastic. I didn’t show that I was stressed out or I was worried, as she couldn’t take my stress or worry on top, but then she never saw my emotions with my son apart from breaking down on the 15th of February 2011.

I did it all; anything she wanted or needed I did. I tried to make it as stress free as possible but the worry was always there even with our birth plan. We got induced at 38 weeks and it didn’t go to plan. My partner had a reaction to the pessary and closed up, they struggled to break the waters, she had an epidural but then we had a faulty machine. We got put on a hormonal drip but she was reacting too quickly, now what else could go wrong. Then we had a heart monitor put on our daughters head to see if she was distressed. She was, her heartbeat was going up and down. This was going on for 30 minutes but I tried to stay calm and be there for my partner but I just wanted to get my daughter out and safe and it scared the living shit out of me constantly seeing her heart dropping lower and lower.

But I stayed calm. My partner was asked to face me, she held my hand, she looked at me all drugged up and said is “she okay?”. I had to say yes, even though I didn’t know and I just stared at the heart monitor getting lower. Then the nurse said we are having an emergency c section, thank god. She got wheeled through to theatre while I got asked to change into scrubs in the bathroom. I rang my parents with my wobbly voice and told them what was going on and they made their way down.

I was in the bathroom almost in tears wondering what’s going to happen. I waited outside the theatre for 30 minutes wondering what was happening. I hated it, every bad thought came into my head, yet again she was on her own. I was thinking she couldn’t loose another baby I can’t loose her either. Finally I was allowed in the theatre and our daughter was born. I cried again she was perfect, healthy and weighing 6lb 13oz. I had to leave first thing once she was born and come back at 10am. I didn’t want to go but it was the rules.

Even though it has been tough, I’ve never given up and continued with life in really hard times. My daughter is amazing and in spite of everything she is fantastic and she will always grow up knowing her brother.

Things happen for a reason, we may never know why they happen or understand that reason, but that appears to be life. I have so much to miss yet so much to be equally grateful for and would not change anything. -Shane Linford

Trump’s ‘odd answer’ on conspiracy theory

President Donald Trump left viewers baffled when he answered a question from a reporter at the Democratic National Convention.

Mr Trump held a media briefing at the White House where NBC News correspondent Shannon Pettypiece asked him what he thought of the QAnon conspiracy theory.

"During the pandemic, the QAnon movement appears to be gaining a lot of followers. Can you talk about what you think about that, and what you have to say to people who are following this movement right now?" Pettypiece asked.

"Well I don't know much about the movement, other than I understand they like me very much. Which I appreciate," Mr Trump replied.

"But I don't know much about the movement. I have heard that it is gaining in popularity, and from what I hear, these are people that - when they watch the streets of Portland … these are people that don't like what's going on in places like Portland, in places like Chicago, and New York, and other cities.

"And I've heard these are people that love our country. And they just don't like seeing it. So I don't know, really, anything about it, other than they do supposedly like me.

"And they also would like to see problems in these areas - like, especially the areas that we're talking about - go away. Because there's no reason the Democrats can't run a city."

RELATED: Follow our live coverage of the Democratic National Convention

Pettypiece followed up, giving Mr Trump a brief rundown of the kooky stuff QAnon believes.

"The crux of the theory is this belief that you are secretly saving the world from this Satanic cult of paedophiles and cannibals. Does that sound like something you are behind?" she asked.

"Well, I haven't heard that. But is that supposed to be a bad thing, or a good thing? You know," Mr Trump said.

"If I can help save the world from problems, I'm willing to do it. I'm willing to put myself out there. And we are, actually. We're saving the world from a radical left philosophy that will destroy this country. And when this country is gone, the rest of the world would follow.

"And when you look at some of the things these people are saying, with defund the police, and no borders, open borders, everybody just pour right into our country, no testing, no nothing - you know, you talk about testing. No testing. Mexico, as you know, has a very high rate of infection. The wall is now, next week, going to be 300 miles long. Our numbers are extraordinary on the border. And this is through luck, perhaps, more than talent, although the talent is getting it built when one party chooses not to allow it. You don't hear talk about the wall anymore.

"But I will say this. We need strength in our country, not weakness. Too much weakness."

Australian reporter Jonathan Swan was asked for his reaction on Fox News when anchor Bret Baier asked if he thought Mr Trump answered the question well.

"It was a very odd answer to me. I thought it was a pretty easy lay-up, to condemn the QAnon movement," said Swan, a political reporter for Axios.

Baier then threw the same question to Republican political strategist Karl Rove.

"Big mistake," Rove said.

"This is a group of nuts and kooks, and he ought to disavow them. They may like him, but they like him because they think he is fighting an incredible war against forces of (pedophilic) evil.

"It's just ridiculous. Disavow them, get done with it."

Dropped phone leads to crash with injuries in Newton

NEWTON – Two people were injured when a driver reaching for a dropped cellphone crashed into construction equipment on the side of road, police said.

Police learned about the crash at 8:14 a.m. Tuesday when they got a call about a roll over motor vehicle accident with injury on Woodside Avenue, which is also Route 206.

The subsequent investigation revealed that Rene Vega, 30, of Hopatcong, was driving a 2003 Ford E250 utility van north on Woodside Avenue when his cellphone fell to the floor and he bent over to try and pick it up, police said.

The van then collided with a compressor that was being towed by a 2010 Chevrolet pick-up truck owned by Newton Water & Sewer. The truck was parked on the shoulder of the roadway because Water & Sewer workers were preparing to conduct valve work for upcoming water main repair, police said.

The pick up truck was on the northbound shoulder of the roadway with its overhead caution lights activated when it was struck by the utility van, police said.

The force of the impact caused the van to turn over onto its side, police said.

The compressor struck the right arm of Jason Vandergroef, 21, of Andover, and Ervin Lasso, 53, of Lafayette, who are both Town of Newton Water and Sewer employees.

Lasso sustained injuries to his left leg, wrist, chest and head. He was airlifted to Morristown Medical Center for treatment and was in stable condition. Vandergroef was treated and released from the Newton Medical Center.

Vega was not injured but was issued summonses for careless driving, failure to exhibit driver’s license.

Woodside Avenue was closed to motorists for approximately 1 ½ hours while emergency personnel were present at the scene.

Dunbar leads Wildcats over Vikings

Matt Cianfrone

HANOVER – After scoring the game-tying run with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, Whippany Park senior Mickel Dunbar stepped to the plate with two outs and runners on first and second in the eighth inning and a chance to be the hero on senior day.

With a perfectly placed hit just over the outstretched arms of Villa Walsh shortstop Annie McCluskey Dunbar did just that, knocking in sophomore Rachel Grabowski to give the Wildcats a walk off 5-4 victory.

“It is really exciting,” Dunbar said. “I was just really happy for my team that I could hit it in a gap so the run at second could score and we could win.”

Whippany Park was able to get the win thanks in large part to senior Brittany Funicelli, who tossed 6 1/3 innings and stranded seven Vikings on the bases to keep her team in striking distance.

“We pray in the circle before the game starts and we were all really pumped up,” Funicelli said. “None of us wanted to lose on our senior day and possibly our last home game. We wanted to go out with a bang and this did it.”

Things got off to a rough start for Whippany Park as Villa Walsh took a 2-0 lead on a two-RBI single from junior Kathleen Rocco.

The Wildcats were able to grab the lead in the bottom of the third inning though, when Funicelli knocked a two-out, two-RBI single to right field and fellow senior Alison Gleichmann followed with an RBI single of her own to make the score 3-2.

It would stay that way until the fifth, when senior Veronica Manley pounded an RBI double to deep left field to tie the game and junior Jessica Walsh gave the Vikings a 4-3 lead with a sacrifice fly.

The scored remained 4-3 until the bottom of the seventh thanks to Villa Walsh senior Breann Dangler, who entered the game as a pitcher in the fourth inning and retired nine straight Wildcat hitters.

With her team’s struggles in her mind, Dunbar led off the seventh with one goal.

“Just pull through for the team,” she said. “Give us a chance to get the win.”

Dunbar did that by working a four pitch walk and was immediately moved to second after a bunt from fellow senior Noel Nunnermacker.

A groundout moved Dunbar to third with two outs and brought up sophomore Ashley LoBell, who had moved from second base to pitcher in the top of the seventh and struck out two batters with runners on first and second to keep the game at 4-3.

LoBell came through for her team again, as she smashed a 2-2 pitch down the left field line to score Dunbar and tie the game.

“That was a crazy feeling,” Funicelli said. “Everyone was up on the fence and I feel like everyone had a little faith that we would be able to get that run in there.”

LoBell then retired Villa Walsh in order in the top of the eighth to set the stage for Dunbar’s heroics.

“It is nice to see the seniors be able to come through in their last home game,” said Whippany Park head coach Todd Callaghan. “Hopefully they can feed off that and we can get a little winning streak going.”

Umesh Pratapa

As many insurance industry observers know, one of the great concerns within the industry now is the possible impact of “silent cyber” – that is, the potential for cybersecurity-related coverage outside of purpose-built cyber insurance policies. In the following guest post, Umesh Pratapa takes a look at the silent cyber phenomenon.  A version of this article previously was published on Umesh’s website (here). Umesh is an independent insurance consultant based in India. I would like to thank Umesh for allowing me to publish his article as a guest post on this site. I welcome guest post submissions from responsible authors on topics of interest to this site’s readers. Please contact me directly if you would like to submit a guest post. Here is Umesh’s article.

Silence is Golden – Is it? Certainly not in insurance coverage enunciation.

Silent cyber, more appropriately known as non–affirmative coverage, is talk of the town now causing a great deal of concern and justified anxiety amongst insurers, insurance intermediaries and insureds.

Come January 1, 2020, Lloyd’s underwriters will be required to clarify whether first-party property damage policies affirm or exclude cyber cover. For liability and treaty reinsurance, the requirements will come into effect in two phases during 2020 and 2021.

What is silent cyber coverage?

In simple words, it is when the policy explicitly does not exclude or include coverage. This is also known as “unintended” or “non-affirmative” cyber coverage.

When cyber insurance was introduced in the 1990s, the focus was on covering data breach exposures in response to regulations framed by authorities in USA and Europe. Later, with business operations getting more digital and owing to spread of all pervasive influence of information technology, insurers started offering wider coverage. But, there was not much foresight about the seepage of silent coverage in other lines of insurance like property, marine and general liability insurance etc.

Why the noise about this subject now?

Many property and liability insurance policies were designed when cyber wasn’t perceived as a major risk. These policies often did not explicitly mention cyber coverage. While the insurance fraternity debated this issue as a part of regular review of operations, albeit at a low volume, the devastating NotPetya attack and other high-profile cyber security events, in the recent past, have placed the issue high on the agenda for the insurance industry.

An overview of NotPetya losses:

“NotPetya, which struck in 2017 and became the most devastating cyber attack in history, was a virus embedded into a Ukrainian tax-software program. The virus reportedly shut down 10% of the country’s computers and vital infrastructure. The contagion then spread to networks worldwide, infecting more than 2,000 companies in 65 countries, among them shipping company Maersk and FedEx, each reporting $300 million in related losses”

(Source: Silent No more –

While the quantum of losses resulting from the silent cyber losses is not known, there is no doubt that losses have been paid. It is only post NotPetya and Wannacry making news, the issue of silent cyber assumed significance, because of the crippling losses they caused. A few of the cases grabbed attention of public at large because of the enormous damage they inflicted. Mondelez and Merck cases which are in the public domain are noteworthy.

  • Mondelez International filed a claim to the tune of USD 100 million with Zurich Insurance for losses attributed to the NotPetya cyber attack. This claim was repudiated based on the policy’s war exclusion.
  • Merck also filed lawsuits against more than 20 insurers that rejected its claims under the war exclusion.

As regards reference to some Indian insurance policies is concerned, IAR (Industrial All Risks) policy buyers are aware of the fact that there is no reference to cyber coverage under Section I – Material Damage cover whereas under Section II – Business interruption cover, the exclusion relating to cyber risk reads as under.

“Damage resulting from:

  1. a) deliberate erasure loss distortion or corruption of information on computer systems or other records programs or software.
  2. b) other erasure loss distortion or corruption of information on computer systems or other records programs or software unless resulting from fire, lightning, explosion, aircraft, impact by any road vehicle or animals, earthquake, hurricane, windstorm, flood, bursting overflowing discharging or leaking of water tanks apparatus or pipes in so far as it is not otherwise excluded unless caused by Damage to the machine or apparatus in which the records are mounted.”

However, in the recent past some insurers have started incorporating an endorsement for excluding cyber cover for Section I also. Some other insurers are offering add-ons to bridge the gap and provide specific cover for cyber.

Why should all this worry us?

Cyber risk permeates all classes of insurance without boundaries of industries. A cyber event can trigger losses across various lines of insurance – property damage and business interruption resulting from computer systems failure / virus under property insurance, siphoning money through phishing under crime insurance, product liability / recalls from security vulnerabilities under product liability / recall insurance, breach of contract / negligence claims under E&O insurance and for managerial negligence under D&O insurance (FedEx case).

Having recognized the need to avoid assumption of unintended exposures / losses and due to regulatory intervention from bodies like Prudent Regulation Authority (please see here the letter of PRA dated 30/01/2019), insurers have begun to address this issue by specifically including or excluding coverage. This is not an easy task, as cyber risk modelling for non-affirmative risks is in its nascence. These developments make it all the more necessary for insurance buyers to consider the following:

  • Analyze cyber exposure in terms of severity and frequency under various lines of insurance taking the help of the specialists
  • Understand current coverage and exclusions
  • Identify the gaps / uninsured cyber risk
  • Identify classes which need inclusion of coverage
  • Work with brokers / insurers and try to achieve ideal balance between premium and coverage
  • Continuously monitor developments because of the dynamic nature of the subject and work on course correction

Back to the core issue of addressing non-affirmative coverage, new endorsements affirming or excluding coverage need to be understood clearly keeping the above in mind. The following links would be of use for further reading:

No substitute for cooperation in sustainable development

Updated: Jul 24

In one generation, we have witnessed the economic ascendancy of Asia, improving the lives of hundreds of millions, but we are now facing an unprecedented challenge. Not only is there a twin health and economic crisis, but the long-standing international order has been weakened at the very time we need it to underpin our response to climate change and ease rising geo-political tensions. At risk is the prosperity achieved and peace kept despite all odds. We need to reimagine how to build cooperation between governments, businesses and our communities in Asia-Pacific to build back as a stronger, smarter and anti-fragile region. When the immediate health crisis of COVID-19 passes, climate change, geopolitical rivalry and populist demands to dismantle globalization will still be here. As these are common challenges, we must find a new way to work together as a region and contribute to global solutions, putting no nation first and no nation last. There is no return to old normal.

We need pragmatic solutions to these challenges, to keep what works and to address what won’t be sustainable in the context of the new normal. Businesses of our region know that it was open markets for trade and investment, backed up by predictable rules and norms of international cooperation that made the rise of Asia possible. It is not in our interests to unravel globalization, decouple supply chains or undermine organizations built for the purpose of international cooperation. Neither is it in our interests for free trade to be replaced by a new mercantilism, in which large countries wield asymmetric power and dominate global economic connectivity. But it is in our immediate and long-term interest to re-examine our old business models driven by profit lines and without internalization of social and environmental responsibilities.

To restore Asia’s prosperity and to share the benefits with all, we need more economic diversification and liberalization, not less. Luckily, we have prospective new partnership agreements offering greater market opportunities and improved standards in important fields such as digital technology, investment and intellectual property. While not every country will be ready to join the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) or the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) from the get-go, all are welcome when they are ready. Asia and the Pacific have most benefited from its open regionalism approach and can and should continue to do so.

In building back better, we must ensure our economies become more efficient at protecting the environment and strengthening communities. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) provide an integrated vision of what we must do. Our national development plans need to provide the road maps for how. We can succeed if we harness the collective leadership of governments, businesses and civil society. This is not just about doing the right thing, it is about survival. If we do not act, climate change could become an existential threat to the next generation.

Investing in more efficient and sustainable infrastructure and the new industries that will ensure Asia’s future prosperity will require a massive amount of finance. ESCAP estimates an additional investment of US$1.5 trillion is needed for the region to achieve the SDGs. This is not beyond the capabilities of governments, multilateral development banks and the private sector combined. Rebuilding after the COVID-19 crisis offers us a unique opportunity to embed more sustainable and inclusive solutions as we go forward, as outlined in ESCAP’s Framework. This is about much more than just shifting towards renewable energy or more efficient consumption, as important as they are. We also need to realign the trading and investment systems, build better food supply chains and smartly design cities, transport and logistics, taking much more advantage of new technologies and ensuring the benefits reach everyone.

At the end of the day, reimagining how we act as a region is all about putting people first. It is about the hopes and dreams of children in Bangladesh, China, Indonesia and all countries across the rich diversity of our region. Governments, as potent as they are, cannot alone deliver the future our children deserve. We are going to need to work together, business, civil society and governments, to rebuild and to rethink. The ESCAP Sustainable Business Networkwelcomes corporate leaders in sustainability to join us in our advocacy, advice and practical actions to achieve the SDGs across Asia and the Pacific.

For the next generation, beyond the current crisis, the old world thinking of great power games, trade wars and economic coercion simply cannot provide sustainable solutions to the global risks we are facing. To work together, we need rules-based norms at the international level and a true commitment to protecting people and planet, or we are doomed to fall back into law of the jungle. This is not wishful thinking, as cooperative and collaborative approaches pulled us from many tight spots in the past. As we are now facing the biggest economic crisis since the Great Depression and the road ahead looks bumpy, we cannot afford not to cooperate. In fact, we must strive to cooperate even better than ever if we are to conquer the crisis. Asia, it’s our century and cooperation must be our choice.

It should send chills up the spine of every American that an innocent man was sent to jail for making a film that offended Muslims. It should send chills up the spine of every American that an innocent man was made a political prisoner in America to save the President’s re-election prospects.

Worse still, the film had nothing to do with the Benghazi jihad; the blame for those murders lies solely with Obama. Why didn’t he give the order to help our people?

“Father of Navy SEAL Killed in Benghazi Has Some Select Words for the Obama Administration After Latest Revelations,” By Jason Howerton, Blaze

Newly-released emails — referred to as a “smoking gun” by some — reveal an apparent coordinated effort to portray the Benghazi attacks as the result of a video as opposed to a terrorist attack in order to protect President Barack Obama’s reelection chances. Reports and even congressional testimony indicate the intelligence community knew almost immediately the Benghazi attacks were terrorism-related.

When asked if he felt he was intentionally lied to, Woods recalled his meeting with then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at Andrews Air Force Base back in September of 2012.

“Hillary Clinton came up to me and I gave her a handshake and a hug, and when I shook her hand she said to me, ‘We are going to have the filmmaker arrested.’ Even at that time, she was trying to place a spin on what happened,” he said.

Woods expressed his frustration that no attempts were made by the military to intervene and save the lives of Americans in Benghazi.

“And there was no attempt made,” he said after listening to the testimony of Brig. Gen. Robert Lovell (Ret.). “As many military have said, within an hour or an hour and a half they could have had jets from Italy above the battle at Benghazi. Whether they were armed or not, at least they could have broken the sound barrier, they could’ve dispersed and caused confusion on the battlefield. Even that was not done. No attempt was made.”

Hannity later asked Woods what he would ask President Obama if he had the chance. He said he would tell the president — as he did in a past letter — to imagine if it were a member of his family who was killed in Benghazi. Woods said Obama responded that he wouldn’t have done anything different if it were a member of his family.

Riding with the gauchos – Burke in the Land of Silver

Gaucho 6

I’m delighted to welcome Tom Williams to my blog today, to tell us all about riding with the gauchos, and his new book.

Burke in the Land of Silver tells the story of the doomed British invasion of Argentina in 1806 and the role that may well have been played by real-life spy James Burke. There are beautiful women, evil villains, daring deeds and dastardly plots, but the whole thing is based around real events. Burke’s adventures on the pampa and in the Andes drew a lot on my own experience, as well as fascinating descriptions of life on a cattle ranch at the time by, of all people, Charles Darwin. His journey round the world wasn’t all giant tortoises and Galapagos finches!

Most of the action in Burke in the Land of Silver takes place in what is now Argentina. Our hero is spying for the British who are planning to drive the Spanish out of Buenos Aires. Burke discovers that the cattlemen out in the country (the pampa) have no love for their Spanish rulers and he tries to win them over to the British side. In the story, Burke spends some time with the gauchos, as the cattlemen are called. I particularly enjoyed writing this part as I have spent a short time riding with the gauchos of today, whose lives are, in many ways, remarkably unchanged. They are still magnificent horseman, often wearing their traditional dress as workaday garments.

Gaucho 2 Gaucho 3 Gaucho 5

The object above is something that shows the enormous skill of the gaucho on horseback.

The ring is supposed by some people to represent a wedding ring and it is said that Gaucho 4 gauchos used to play this game to win the hands of their sweethearts.

The clip fastens the ring to a rope stretched above the head of a man on horseback. The gaucho rides at the rope holding a cone shaped metal object in his hand which he has to pass through the ring whilst maintaining at least a fast trot. To win the game, you must carry away the ring without dropping it. What is amazing is how often the gauchos are successful. The photographs show how it is done.

The riders stand in the stirrups, well clear of the saddle, his horse moving so smoothly that the rider can catch up the ring as he passes beneath it.

In the third picture above, the young man has passed the ring without catching it. No congratulations from a beautiful Señora for him.

Riding these Argentinian horses was a strange experience for me. I’m not a particularly good horseman and I have only ridden on a European saddle, so first I had to get used to the Western saddle and the different way of using the reins on an Argentine horse. The biggest difference, though, came when I pushed with my heels. The horses at the ranch where I was riding are “cutting out horses” used for moving into a herd of cattle and cutting out the ones that are to be lassoed for whatever reason. The slightest pressure of the heel moves them into a full gallop immediately. When the gauchos aren’t playing the game with the ring, they enjoy racing each other over very short distances, where victory or defeat depends on just how quickly the horse can start its gallop. I’ve seen horses start by jumping into the air and landing immediately into a gallop with no walk or trot or canter.

You’d think that riding horses like this would be a terrifying experience, but I have never felt so safe on a horse of my life. Riding a full gallop across the pampa when some cattle crossed my path and my horse swerved to avoid them should have had me clinging on in terror, but instead I was able to stay comfortably in my seat, absolutely convinced that my mount would do nothing that might throw me off.

My time spent riding on this dude ranch and, later, in the rather more challenging conditions of the Andes above the snow line, was some of the best days of my life. Strangely, I have hardly been in the saddle since I got back to England: it just doesn’t feel the same.

Burke in the Land of Silver has just been republished by Endeavour Press, and is available from Amazon.
