New York Rap: State of the Empire

photographer Lauren Fleishman

A group of young New York rappers tries to bring hip hop home.

Far Rockaway, Queens MC Stack Bundles has a song called, “Temper, Temper” in which he says of the state of New York hip-hop, “The only movements moving are the Unit and the Dips.” Welcome to New York City.

There aren’t exactly tumbleweeds blowing down Broadway, but there are some issues. There are many reasons why G-Unit and the Diplomats are successful (even if they’re successful on very different levels)—the purple, the vocab, the superthug-as-superhero mythology—but they’ve both cut the cord and sonically and stylistically left home, shrugging off (for better or for worse) the city’s rich rap history, and pulling that most New York of moves: starting from scratch.

Which leaves New York, as a scene, in the shadows. This time around there’s no major beef. No coastal friction. The average rap fans—which at this point is the same as saying the “average pop fans”—in New York and everywhere else don’t care that much about 50 and Fat Joe, or whether Jim Jones rolls with Game or not. People rock Young Jeezy’s Snowman T-shirt on 125th Street in Harlem. They want to hear the best songs no matter where they come from.

So what happens to young New York rappers, those who are caught in the no man’s land between what sells and what they grew up thinking real hip-hop sounded like? Some are trying to take back hip-hop’s hearts and minds with a defiantly traditional New York sound and vision that’s sprayed across a seemingly endless stream of mixtapes, demanding that people come to them. And some have realized that the only route to success is one of compromise.

The instrumental for Young Jeezy’s “Go Crazy”, is playing at small-animal-deafening levels on infinite repeat, with the horns billowing through the halls of a Lower East Side studio called The Cutting Room. DJ Kay Slay, the iconic Hot 97 radio personality, mixtape DJ and “Drama King” is talking to someone about the $700 pair of pants he just bought and saying how for that much paper, “The pants better get up and walk themselves to the fucking cleaners.” Playing the wall in the studio, Brooklyn MC Papoose has a flat-brimmed fitted cocked over one eye and he’s nodding to Don Cannon’s beat, his lips moving slightly, making out bars-to-be.

Over the next hour or so, he’ll lay down a chorus over the beat, shouting, “Shoot em up,” over and over. He’ll drop a series of buzz saw bars about knocking dudes over onto the ass of their Evisu jeans. He and his manager will even hop in the booth together to adlib assorted Oh!s and What!s.

Papoose mostly keeps to himself, responding when people talk to him, but not initiating much conversation. He obliges a request to do a drop for a DVD magazine by saying, “Fuck mixtape artist of the year, I’m the mixtape artist of your motherfuckin life!” Then he quickly retreats back within himself. In 2005 mixtapes are a gift and a curse—and being the mixtape artist of someone’s motherfuckin life even more so.

In some way Papoose is a quick-draw expert in the day of biological warfare; someone who’s talent doesn’t quite jibe with the reality of today’s market. He posits himself as a “lyrical assassin,” and there are probably dozens of crushed egos in New York that belong to those on the losing end of battles with Pap. Beyond the battles and mixtapes, Papoose is signed with Kay Slay’s Streetsweepers Entertainment, and he plans to release his debut album Nacirema’s Dream (that’s “American” spelled backwards) independently.

Pap’s blank demeanor hides the beast he lets out in the booth. With a nasal pitched voice—not unlike that of the late Big L—and lyrics laced with 10-cent words, he relentlessly deals out ferocious boasts and threats like a middleweight throwing stinging jabs. “I am the streets/ Look both ways before you cross me.” That’s the kind of couplet that gets the denizens of hip-hop message boards and other rhyme aficionados hot and bothered. And those kinds of lines litter Pap’s catalog. But they don’t say much about him, and as Jay-Z has mentioned in the past, one hot line does not make a hot song. Lyrics of fury on another dude’s beat can give listeners a cheap thrill, something that gets heavy iPod rotation. But mixtape cuts rarely make the impact, or are crafted with the care, of a song destined for an album. Pap acknowledges the limitations of 16-bar freestyles and $5 mixtapes as well as the consequences of being known as a mixtape artist, but defiantly suggests that he’s not a one-trick MC. “I can put out numerous mixtapes and my album is still gonna be incredible,” he says. “Some guys lack talent and they air themselves out on a mixtape. When it comes to do their album they can’t deliver.” Kay Slay, talking about the one-dimensional quality of mixtape rappers, puts it more succinctly, “You can’t kill the block but so many times. You kill the block on four records…everybody’s dead now. Put the gun down. Take ’em to the hospital.”

Stack Bundles is another mixtape artist who’s trying to translate his prodigious skill at murdering other people’s songs (and murdering people in songs) into something resembling a music career. Bundles is a perfect example of how mixtapes can provide musical kicks that simply aren’t possible on a commercially released album. There are no budget constraints, no samples to clear—on a mixtape your choice of producers is only limited by your imagination. In 2003, over some of Jay-Z’s hardest Black Album beats—“PSA” and “99 Problems”—a barely drinking-age Bundles used DJ Clue’s mixtapes like When Animals Attack to give Hov a run for his money. Bundles rhymed over the Just Blaze and Rick Rubin-produced tracks like he paid for them. Whether it was coke speak (“I was guilty for starting the drought/ I held the water like the Hoover Dam”) or fashion trend analysis (“It’s far from summer/ And Jay’s got these dickheads running around in colorful button-downs/ Fuckin clowns”), his was a triumph of formalism. Everybody was saying that shit—he just said it better.

Bundles is one of the mixtape circuit’s true wolves, hopping on every hot beat as soon as he can, blowing holes in other people’s tracks. But listening to his flammable verses doesn’t begin to suggest who the enigmatic man behind the music really is. Bundles is a burly, excitable dude who has a magnetic force about him. He can be gruff, talking about his hood rep one second, and then sensitively sharing his feelings about Lupe Fiasco and Joe Budden (two MCs he adores) the next. He’s earnest, funny and emotional. But for the most part, on mixtapes, he plays the part of the superthug. Bundles, who is affiliated with DJ Clue’s Desert Storm crew but rolls as a free agent, struggles with the limitations of the format. “I was a song MC,” he says. “I love to tell my story. But I got with Clue, and he’s the outlet to the streets.” That piece of luck has also hamstrung some of his evolution as an artist. “People fall victim to this idea like if you’re tough, you don’t cry,” he says. “But shit gets deep, you know? I cry. Or if you’re tough you ain’t fly. I get fly! I think I’m flyer then Kanye!”

For now Bundles patiently waits. “My next mixtape is called Bidding War because that’s what it is,” Bundles says. “If you call yourself hip-hop and you have ears, you’re feeling the kid.” Nonetheless he remains unsigned. When Bundles throws darts on tracks like, “Everybody talking about trying to bring it home/ When all you hear on the radio is, ‘Who? Mike Jones!’” you can sense exasperation at the state of New York’s place in the game, and some resignation to the fact that in order to beat Mike Jones, or at least get to his level, Bundles will have to embrace what made Jones popular.

Bed-Stuy’s Maino comes to the game a little older and maybe a little wiser than Papoose and Stack. As Three 6 Mafia’s “Stay Fly” blasts out of a souped-up station wagon, testing the speed limits of BK’s side streets, someone says, “Buck murdered this shit.” Maino responds, “All them niggas murdered it.”

“My career is only two and a half years old,” Maino says. “I was in prison and I came home and got right into rap. I came home at the height of the crunk era, 2003. The South was dictating policy. Which is fine. That music is in my car right now. But I’m from Brooklyn. I’m from New York. What am I supposed to do?” What he did was look for the middle ground between banging in a white tee—making club music to throw a bow to—and honoring the tradition he grew up with by playing the NY corner in a Carhart jacket. “The labels see that New York doesn’t really have its mojo right now. There’s no reason why dudes like Papoose and Stack Bundles shouldn’t be signed. I’m lucky.” Maino may be lucky to be a new New York rapper signed to a major, but he’s also doing something different, something that the other two haven’t figured out just yet—he’s making songs. On tracks like “I’m Different”, “It’s Working” or his underground hit “Rumors”, he shows off some of the same qualities that made 50 Cent a money-printing machine—a sharp ear for beats, a knack for executing concepts (even if those concepts are as simple as “let’s get this money”) and an ability to make every line, no matter how pedestrian the subject matter, pop. “I’ve never been the most lyrical cat. I come from the school of thought that’s just, Let me make good music,” Maino says. When he talks about New York hip-hop, he sounds like he’s running for office, and on Marcy Avenue in Bed-Stuy, when Maino hits the block, Brooklyn seems to come alive. The younger guys outside of the bodega all give him knowing pounds and start catching up with him, a random drunk tries to get into his car, and little kids embrace him in knee-high hugs. Maino gets love in the hood, but he knows that hood love is not enough. “Instead of trying to be super lyrical and out-rapping each other, we need to make better songs, bigger hooks,” he says, his voice rising. “Record companies will tell you, ‘Yo, 50% beat, 50% hook. We do not give a fuck what you are saying in between.’” It’s a revelation that doesn’t bode well for those who excel at everything in between. “We can’t just make freestyles,” Maino says. “That’s not what’s going to be in the Top 40. The average fan is not a lyrical connoisseur. In order to win our city back, we have to give the people what they want.”

Fishermen Compensated for EU-Guinea Bissau Agreement Suspension

06 July 2012

SPAIN - The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment is in the process of awarding grants to operators and crews of fishing vessels fishing in waters of Guinea Bissau that have been affected by the suspension of the Agreement between the European Union and the African country.

Aid for the owners will reach approximately €290,000 per month and for the crew, €45,000 per month.

Due to the political situation in the country and the impossibility of ensuring the safety of ships and their crews in these waters, the European Union Council has decided not to complete the internal approval process of the new protocol agreement with Guinea Bissau.

Given this unique situation, and in order to alleviate the difficulties faced the fleet who have no alternative grounds to fish, the process for granting aid to those affected has been launched. This is according to the criteria and conditions set forth in Article 21 of EC Regulation 1198/2006 European Fisheries Fund (EFF)

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Environment is now developing two separate projects in order to call for temporary aid cessation for ship owners and crew.

Blame Me Says Brown

By: Bill Osborne
Date: 25/08/2005

DERBY manager Phil Brown, who made eight changes to the team that beat Cardiff in the championship on Saturday, admitted: "I take full responsibility for the performance and the result."

"There's no doubt the fact that I made eight changes didn't help us. I felt we were not as fluent when we had the ball and we were not as organised when we didn't have the ball."

"Those two things more often than not will result in us getting beat."

"If this had been in the last two weeks of the season with two matches left and we needed points, no one would argue. The fact that we are only five games into the season, the points are as important to me."

"Of the changes I made, four or five were forced upon me and I did emphasise to the players who came in that metaphorically I was looking for them to kick my door down and make themselves available for Saturday but I didn't get too many of those pictures."

Russell Slade however was upbeat about it all.

Talking after the game and later to Mariners Net he said; "It was a little bit nervy for us because we had to change our formation and we were forced to play without a natural left-back."

"But I think for a League Two club, we passed it well especially in the first half and we were always a constant threat. We were hanging on a bit at the end when we had to defend four or five corners but we managed to scramble the ball away."

"I have to admit that the last 10 minutes or so did seem a very long time. I looked at the clock and it showed 81 minutes and when I looked again 10 minutes later, it said 82 minutes!

"This result is a big boost for the club because before I came, we'd had two seasons of relegation and last season we had to play for stability."

"This season, we are hoping to push on and try to put a smile on the face of the fans and the chairman."

"We set our stall out to defend against Derby's system. We've worked on it over the past couple of days and we played very well."

"It suited us, the way Derby played, but it's about getting that consistency in the league. If I thought that we were going to play like this every week we would not have a problem."

Slade says that he was pleased with the three player who made their debuts.

"I was delighted with all three debutants. I thought that all three of them played very well. Gary Jones, that was a great strike and I'm delighted that he got that goal. Gary Cohen came close as well, worked his socks off. Unfortunately he's got a bit of a knock as well."

"Jean-Paul's done tremendously well. He's battled away in there with Bolly, and we looked quite solid."

Slade also praised Steve Mildenhall, who didn't put a hand wrong all night.

"He comes for crosses beyond the penalty spot, and when you lose the likes of Rob Jones and you haven't got your 6'7" defender, for Mildey to come and take some of those crosses doesn't half take some of the pressure off your defence."

"I think it is a different kind of football. You are in the Championship and it is more like a game of chess, you have more time to pick your pass," he said. "When we got that little bit of time to pick a pass, not the hurry, hurry of division 2, we look a better side."

"Hopefully this will give us the confidence to do it in our league on Saturday."

Campaigns predict high voter turnout in 2016 election

In Iowa, Democrats have submitted more early ballots

  • Photo

DES MOINES --- Democrats are focused on early voting; they believe they could have victory assured in some states before Election Day.

Republicans are focused on their ground operation, which they say has been building up for years and is poised to benefit the party up and down the ballot.

With Election Day little more than a month away, the national party leaders took turns explaining to reporters why their respective turnout operations will prove superior when the ballots are counted.

Hillary Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook said he thinks voter turnout in the election could exceed 2008 for the highest in the nation’s history.

Mook also said he thinks more voters will vote early than ever before, and that in some states the Clinton campaign will be assured victory before Election Day. He said so many voters are voting early in states like Florida, North Carolina and Nevada that the campaign may be able to project victory before Election Day.

“We’re encouraging our supporters to cast their vote early,” Mook said. “We could build an insurmountable lead in those key states before Election Day.”

Mook reiterated the Clinton campaign’s effort to target low-propensity voters, particularly for early voting, to lock in their support and not have to worry about whether they will turn out on Election Day. He cited what he said were encouraging early voting statistics in swing states like Florida, Ohio, and North Carolina, and also mentioned Iowa, noting twice as many Democrats as Republicans have voted early and three times as many have returned an absentee ballot.

It’s true that more than twice as many Iowa Democrats have submitted early ballots. But they also have submitted only slightly more than half the number of early ballots as they did at the same point in 2012, according to Iowa Secretary of State data.

Meantime, Republicans thus far have submitted more early ballots than at the same point in 2012.

“In a state like Iowa, Democrats need to run up the score in (early ballots),” said Chris Carr, the Republican Party’s national political director. “This is a positive for us and a concern for the Clinton campaign.”

Republicans feel buoyed by the long-term strategy of their ground game and voter turnout operation, Carr said.

The Donald Trump campaign, national party and state party organizations have been working in concert to maximize the party’s organizational buildup that started in 2013, he said.

“We’re 33 days out and our ground game is running full steam ahead as it plays an integral part in Republicans of all levels winning this year,” Carr said. “We’re working hand-in-glove with the Trump campaign to compliment their operation.”

Carr said he agrees with Mook’s assessment that the 2016 election could set a national turnout record.

Research Report

Six reasons why tapering would be a misstep Add to ...

Globe editors have posted this research report with permission of  Scotiabank Economics. This should not be construed as an endorsement of the report’s recommendations. For more on The Globe’s disclaimers please read here. The following is excerpted from the report:

The debate over exactly if, when, and by how much the Federal Reserve will reduce asset purchases oversimplifies the richness of policy options facing the Federal Reserve.

We think there are six reasons why tapering at this juncture would be a policy misstep that would be reminiscent of Fed chairman Bernanke’s past criticisms of the Bank of Japan.

The evidence of frothy behaviour in financial markets has significantly abated since May when the Fed chairman first suggested that purchases could be lowered ‘later in the year’. Tapering now would risk pushing U.S. 10s well above 3 per cent and dragging mortgage and corporate borrowing costs still higher to the detriment of housing markets and capital spending.

To avoid lighting up market excesses all over again, however, the Fed would have to retain or expand conditional language behind eventually tapering if it chooses not to do so yet.

Piloxing is the latest fitness trend – and no, it has nothing to do with pillow fights Add to ...

When I first hear of Piloxing– the latest trend to hit Canadian fitness clubs – I imagine a round of vigorous pillow fighting. Instead, as with Brangelina and Chavril, the name is a mashup of Pilates and boxing.

The workout – created by Viveca Jensen, best known for being Hilary Duff’s personal trainer – sounds like an odd pairing at first (not unlike Chavril). But both Pilates and boxing emphasize the importance of stabilizing the core, be it in a boxer’s stance or on the mat.

“Let’s Pilox,” says Jessica Sayde, one of 14 certified Piloxing instructors in Canada, to a handful of twentysomething women gathered in a downtown Toronto dance studio. We strap on our pink-and-black weighted gloves, and after a quick run-through of two basic boxing punches (jab and straight), we start with a jab variation. The 1.5-pound gloves make this surprisingly more difficult, never mind the footwork.

While Piloxing suggests a melding of both practices, in fact, the two never quite meet. The 45-minute workout alternates between fast-paced boxing moves (punching while squatting, or lunging, or stepping from side to side) and slower standing Pilates – subtle movements similar to those done in a barre class: gentle pliés; slowly raising one leg back, toes pointed, while leaning forward; and alternating tap backs while in a semi-squat.

Sayde’s grace and agility – she’s a dancer – is impressive, as is her ability to sing along, in perfect synch, with every song on her clubby soundtrack. She’s clearly committed to this awkward-sounding workout: Aside from her megawatt enthusiasm, she’s also decked out in head-to-toe Piloxing-emblazoned garb, from gloves to shirt to pants to knee socks.

After 40 minutes, I’m slightly sweaty (sleaty?) and my bicep and core muscles are aching. We end with a round of abdominal exercises, including the excruciating “Piloxing plank”: planking while repeatedly bending our knees and lowering them to the mat, then raising them up again.

As we walk out of the studio, I overhear one of my fellow classmates enthuse about Piloxing, which has only been taught at this location for the past month. “It’s going to take some time to catch on,” says Sayde, who confirms that my pillow-fighting misconception is a common one. But the workout is fun, and while the name may sound odd, so too, at first, did Brangelina.

White House stays firm on tax increases for wealthiest Americans Add to ...

American lawmakers appear set to push vital budget negotiations to the limit, setting the stage for an edgy December in global financial markets, as investors attempt to distill reality from political bluster.

John Boehner, the Republican speaker of the House of Representatives, raised the stakes Sunday, saying in an interview with Fox News Sunday that “there’s clearly a chance” the U.S. could topple over the fiscal cliff at the end of the year.

“We’re nowhere,” Mr. Boehner said, ridiculing the initial White House proposal tabled late last week, which seeks $1.6-trillion (U.S.) in new tax revenue – twice as much as what Republicans say is acceptable. “I was flabbergasted,” he added. “Three weeks have been wasted.”

Mr. Boehner’s negative tone could jar financial markets, which generally have been stronger since the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday, thanks to reassurances from Democratic and Republican leaders that Washington’s penchant for vitriol and brinkmanship had been curbed by the election.

At issue is some $500-billion in tax increases and $100-billion in spending cuts scheduled for 2013. The combination has come to be known as the fiscal cliff because it would so dramatically change the trajectory of the U.S. budget deficit.

In some ways, that would be a good thing. The U.S. has recorded four consecutive budget deficits in excess of $1-trillion, and its debt has grown to the equivalent of about 70 per cent of its gross domestic product. Unless that trend is reversed, the U.S. risks losing the confidence of international bond investors, which would result in higher interest rates that only would exacerbate the problem.

However, most economists agree that the U.S. economy is too fragile to absorb the shock to demand that toppling off the fiscal cliff could create. Unless the blow is softened, forecasters including the International Monetary Fund, the Congressional Budget Office and the Bank of Canada say the U.S. is facing another recession.

On the flip side, removing the threat posed by the fiscal cliff could provide a jolt to confidence that boost economic growth.

There is “enormous potential” for the United States economy once the threat represented by the cliff is lifted, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told NBC’s Meet the Press in an interview that was recorded Friday and broadcast Sunday.

Chief executives of some the U.S.’s biggest companies, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s Lloyd Blankfein and Honeywell International Inc.’s David Cote, have suggested in recent weeks that they would be satisfied with any agreement, so long as it ends the uncertainty.

The closer negotiations get to the January deadline, the more anxious executives and investors will become. But as far as Washington is concerned, it’s still early in the game. “There’s a little bit of chicken going on, in terms of gamesmanship,” Tom Cole, a Republican congressman from Oklahoma, said Sunday on ABC’s This Week.

Both sides have indicated they would like an agreement by Christmas. The tax increases don’t go into effect until the New Year and, even then, there are suggestions that the Treasury has the authority to put off actually collecting the higher taxes.

After dealing with criticism that he was too willing to capitulate in the face of Republican stubbornness, Mr. Obama now appears to be the one digging in his heels.

The president’s initial bargaining position is essentially taken from last year’s pre-election budget proposal, which was soundly rejected by House Republicans. Along with the tax increases, Mr. Obama suggested spending $50-billion on infrastructure, and said he would accept $600-billion in budget cuts. The spending reductions include reduced farm subsidies and requiring wealthier Americans to pay higher premiums for Medicare, the federal health program for seniors.

Mr. Boehner surprised Washington insiders by conceding on the day after Mr. Obama won re-election that it would be necessary to raise revenue to get the U.S.’s fiscal house in order.

The debate since has been dominated by how much revenue should be raised, and how to go about doing it. Mr. Boehner said Sunday that Republicans believe the right amount of revenue is in the “range” of $800-billion, and that the money should be generated by closing loopholes and curbing tax breaks.

“We have a serious spending problem,” he said. “It is going to be dealt with.”

Bad Bleach Jobs and How to Avoid Them

by Jessica

If you are thinking of going to an extreme shade of blonde, consider these facts.

Hollywood is rife with bad bleach jobs lately, so it’s high time we put out a warning before anyone rushes out to copy them on a whim. Lightening your hair color to a super light blonde shade can be done, but there are some tips that you need to know before you take the plunge, especially if you aren’t a natural blonde. Consider these facts if you are thinking of going to an extreme shade of blonde:

Now, here's what to avoid:

Maggie Rose hairstyles

Maggie Rose has dark hair naturally and very dark eyes. Platinum blonde hair isn’t her ideal shade as it is more than two levels lighter than her natural color but hey, she went for it anyways. It actually isn’t that bad of a look as her skin is quite fair, however she needs a bit more golden tones in there to really warm up her complexion. Another problem with this is the lack of definition. Having her hair all one shade makes it look wig-like especially because of the matte look of the color. Be prepared if you bleach your hair—you will lose a lot of lustre!

Mitzi Gaynor hairstyles

Mitzi Gaynor shows the mature ladies what NOT to do with their hair color, especially if they’re super tanned. Mitzi has the right idea going on with the warm blonde, however, because of her tanned skin and dark eyes, darker lowlights throughout would not go amiss. Bleahed hair needs definition, so be sure to ask your stylist to break it up a bit with some lowlights throughout.

Miley Cyrus hairstyles

Miley Cyrus demonstrates another bad bleach job, this time by flaunting the ‘green hair’ effect. This usually occurs after someone with bleached hair gets chlorine in their hair (say, from a swimming pool) or doesn’t tone their hair properly. Ask your stylist for an ash toner if you have too much gold in your bleached hair, as Miley does here. It will get rid of that nasty green tinge and make your color look more natural.

If, after reading this article, you are sure that you want to go for The Big Bleach, then make sure you can afford to buy salon-quality products to take care of your color in between salon visits. It will make a world of difference between a bad bleach job and a sexy new color.

Liverpool FC manager Brendan Rodgers wants his team to step up against Tottenham Hotspur.

Brendan Rodgers - Liverpool manager | Tottenham Hotspur vs Liverpool FC – Team News, Tactics, Line-Ups And Prediction

Rodgers asks his team to show unanimity against Spurs

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has called his team to give in their best against a quality Tottenham side.

With the team already missing striker Daniel Sturridge and left-back Jose Enrique, Liverpool will now  be without captain Steven Gerrard who is sidelined by a hamstring strain until mid-January. Liverpool enter a testing festive time where the club has to play five teams in a space of seventeen days and that too, without three of their first-choice line up.

But the Northern Irishman is not in a complaining and cynical mindset. Instead he believes that this is the time for the rest of the squad to show their worth:

We’ve lost three players who would be starting if they were available and we’ve been unfortunate with injuries, but we’re not going to moan or cry about it. We are coming into a really busy schedule where we will be stretched and tested but it’s one where we have to pull through it. This is a chance for the team to show their quality and their solidarity. Some players here have been working very hard and have never had the chance to play. Some of them will get that chance over the coming weeks. When you get a chance you have to embrace it and show the qualities you have. We’ve just come out of a run of 10 points out of 15. Now we enter another phase of five games from Tottenham through to Hull.

Rogers said that Liverpool will have to cope without Gerrard and do the best they can with what they have:

Of course you will miss someone of the quality and status of Steven. He has been outstanding for us this season. But we can’t go on about it too much. As a group we have to come together. When Daniel Sturridge wasn’t playing we won games, when Luis Suarez wasn’t playing we won games. Now we have do the same. Steven will work tirelessly to get back ahead of schedule and we will keep working with the players who are available. Steven will still be there encouraging the players. That’s what makes him such a great captain – he’s all about the team. And we have shown as a team sitting in second place in the league that we have enough quality and that the mentality here is strong. We will go and attack every game like we have done. We have lost some very important players but we will do the best with the players we have.

Rodgers is sure that the central midfielder comprising the trio of Henderson, Allen and Leiva will meet the challenge of facing sides without league captain Gerrard with enthusiasm:

All three of them are international players and I am sure they are looking forward to the challenge

The Liverpool manager is not sure who will wear the armband in the absence of captain Gerrard and feels he is spoilt for choice with so many options:

The captaincy hasn’t been decided yet. We are fortunate to have a number of players who could do the job. Glen Johnson is an experienced player, Martin Skrtel is an international captain, Daniel Agger is an international captain and Luis Suarez captained Ajax. “We have enough senior players who can take on that leadership role while Steven is out.”

Rodgers has also given credit to Villas-Boas’ Tottenham saying they have done ‘terrific’:

People look at Spurs and question how they have done but I think they have done terrific. We know from last season that it can be difficult juggling European and domestic games. But they won all their Europa League games, have real depth in their squad and are right up there in the Premier League. This is a league where it’s very difficult to gain consistency as if aren’t at 100% you get caught out. That’s why teams are so close together.They are three points behind us and have spent an extremely large amount of money which will probably see them wanting to be a lot higher. It should be an outstanding game.

The Liverpool boss doesn’t care that Liverpool lost in their last visit to White Hart Lane:

In any game, particularly away, you need to be strong and look to dictate the game early on. But we were 2-0 down before we even got started. Our reaction after that was outstanding and we really should have got something from it.

Rodgers is however confident ahead of this encounter confident as a result of two back to back victories:

We go into this game on the back of two outstanding performances at home and with confidence high. We know we can go anywhere and get goals.


text:
Simon Mignolet was down in the dumps on Boxing Day. Even though Liverpool had beaten Burnley 1-0 in a tough game away at Turf Moor, another high profile lapse in concentration had resulted in the goalkeeper waiting too long to kick a simple back pass and allowing it to go out of play.

Steve Bruce men travel to Old Trafford in order to improve on their wretched start to the season but the Red Devils will be more determined than ever for a win to give the perfect present to Sir Alex on the eve of his 25th anniversary as Man United manager. TheHardTackle gives the team news, tactical analysis and prediction for the game.

Hawks zero in on Turris, Kane and vanRiemsdyk for first overall pick in NHL draft

The Canadian Press
The Hockey News

Hawks zero in on Turris, Kane and vanRiemsdyk for first overall pick in NHL draft

The Canadian Press

It appears either Kyle Turris, Patrick Kane or James vanRiemsdyk, the top three ranked North American skaters by NHL Central Scouting, will slip on a Blackhawks sweater June 22 in Columbus, Ohio.

"Those are the three guys we're looking at," Hawks GM Dale Tallon told The Canadian Press in a phone interview Wednesday.

The three forwards were among the six prospects on display at a media luncheon Wednesday before Game 2 of the Stanley Cup final. And all three made it clear they'd love to be Chicago's man.

"It would be unbelievable," said Turris, MVP of the Royal Bank Cup Tier 2 tournament this year. "I don't know if I can put into words what a feeling that would be. But all these guys here have a chance to go first overall."

Kane, who some believe may currently have the inside track to go first, also welcomes the idea of going to Chicago.

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go first overall," said Kane. "Just to be considered is a huge honour."

New Jersey native vanRiemsdyk took a deep breath before pondering the thought of going No. 1.

"Chicago is a great city," he said. "It's an Original Six franchise. It would be huge thrill to play for the Blackhawks."

Philadelphia has the second overall pick, followed by Phoenix, Los Angeles, Washington and Edmonton.

Defenceman Keaton Ellerby of the Kamloops Blazers, the No. 4-rated prospect by Central Scouting, and blue-liner Karl Alzner of the Calgary Hitmen, the No. 5-rated skater, were also at the luncheon Wednesday along with Knights winger Sam Gagner, the No. 6-rated prospect.

The top European skater is winger Alexei Cherepanov of the Omsk club. He broke Pavel Bure's 1988-89 Russian league rookie record with 18 goals this season. But because Russia once again opted out of the NHL's player transfer agreement with the IIHF, his stock may fall in the draft as teams won't want to take a player they can't bring to North America.

"Skill-wise he's top five but without the agreement, who knows?," said Tallon. "With the money being thrown around over there, that might scare people."

The six-foot-one, 170-pound Turris led the B.C. Hockey League with 66 goals and was second in points with 121 while starring for the Burnaby Express. He also led all playoff scorers with 26 points and was the Canadian Junior A player of the year.

The 17-year-old from New Westminster, B.C., who says he'll play at the University of Wisconsin next season, is the first junior A player ever to top the Central Scouting rankings.

"He's got great hands, he's got quickness, he sees the ice really well," Tallon said of Turris. "He makes these great passes. Size and strength are the issues for him right now. But overall, he's got a deceptive shot, really good shot from the point. He's got grit, too, for his size. A very smart player."

Turris wears No. 19 because after his hero Steve Yzerman and has tried to pattern his game after the former great Red Wing. He's not daunted by Chicago's lack of success in recent years.

"They're a team on the rise," he said. "Jonathan Toews is coming in next season and they've got other great prospects. Things are looking up in Chicago."

Kane, a native of Buffalo, N.Y., is a little on the small side at 5-9 and 160 pounds, but tremendously skilled.

"He's got great hands, great eyes, and makes the players around him better," said Tallon. "He can really pass. He can also shoot and score."

Kane took home the OHL and CHL scoring titles with 145 points (62-83) as a rookie with the London Knights this season. He, too, considers Chicago a great fit despite its struggles in recent seasons.

"They've got some great prospects coming up," said Kane, listing a number of them. "They're going to be a Cup contender in 4-5 years. It would be great to be part of that."

VanRiemsdyk, a power winger, played with the U.S. National Development Team this season, collecting 63 points (33-30) in 42 games while also teaming up with Kane to win bronze at the world junior championship. The native of Middletown, N.J., is 6-3 and 200 pounds.

"He's a big kid, he's going to be a good pro," said Tallon. "He can skate, he's got size, he's got skill. He goes to the net. And it seems like he likes the heat, when the game's on the line he plays quite well."

The Hawks have already met with all three prospects and plan to do so again this week. Tallon says he expects to make a decision next week.

In the meantime, other NHL clubs may try to pry away the first overall pick.

"There's been a few calls, nothing major yet," said Tallon. "I think after the Cup final is over it'll start to heat up over the next couple of weeks. It's going to have to be a hell of an offer. It's going to be something that really makes us better quickly."

Programming, Exhibit Commemorate St. Teresa

Georgetown celebrated the quincentenary of St. Teresa of Avila, a prominent historic figure in the Catholic Church, with an all-day series of panel discussions and performances exploring the modern implications of her legacy in Lohrfink Auditorium on Friday.

The free anniversary celebration, which took place the day after the saint’s feast day, included a symposium of renowned Teresian scholars, a Spanish music performance by the Georgetown University Orchestra and scenes from a play, “God’s Gypsy,” based on the life of Mother Teresa by students in the department of performing arts.

St. Teresa, who was born in 1515 in Gotarrendura, Spain, is renowned for co-founding the Discalced Carmelites, a mendicant order in the Catholic Church, with St. John of the Cross. She is also noted for her work as a theologian, author and reformer of the church.

The commemoration was organized by faculty in the department of Spanish and Portuguese and the department of performing arts. The Embassy of Spain, the Casey-McIlvane Memorial Lecture Fund and the Carmelitana Collection also sponsored the event.

On Thursday, Spanish professor Barbara Mujica, who is a Teresian scholar, hosted a lecture to address the topic of whether or not St. Teresa was a feminist.

The symposium featured five scholars from around the United States, including adjunct Georgetown professor Fr. Brian O. McDermott, S.J., Carmelite nun Constance FitzGerald, theology professor at Xavier University Gillian Ahlgren, Spanish professor at the University of Virginia Alison P. Weber and history teacher at Holton Arms School Christopher Wilson.

Each scholar spoke about different aspects of St. Teresa’s spirituality, ranging from the influence and support she received from Jesuits to her writings on love and friendship.

Ahlgren said that Teresa sought to explain the relationship between God and man.

“St. Teresa showed us … that with God, we become part of the work of revealing the world,” Ahlgren said. “Working for dignity, renouncing and denouncing sin and injustice, growing in truth and love and drawing others into this life-giving creative activity.”

The day’s festivities ended with artistic performances. Georgetown University Orchestra Music Director Angel Gil-Ordóñez said the pieces chosen for the performance were influenced by the time period of St. Teresa.

“We found music that was inspired by the poetry and the popular songs of the time. These songs were sung there at the time,” Gil-Ordóñez said. “We found two Spanish composers of the 20th century, and it makes total sense because the sounds and the Renaissance flavor make a beautiful combination.”

Gil-Ordóñez said it is valuable to combine art with academia.

“Music plays an extraordinary role in the contextualization of any other intellectual activity,” Gil-Ordóñez said. “There is no better place than within the university to explore these fascinating interactions between history, culture and the rest of the arts.”

Georgetown University Orchestra percussionist Kyle Rinaudo (SFS ’18), who performed at the concert, said that this performance was different from anything the orchestra has done in the past.

“Usually our performances are big classical works. We do a lot of these big, grand pieces,” Rinaudo said. “This concert is a lot of smaller pieces, less well known and a lot smaller orchestration.”

In addition to the programming, the Booth Family Center for Special Collections displayed 69 documents and objects related to St. Teresa in an exhibition running from Aug. 31 to Dec. 18. The collection includes early Discalced Carmelite documents, such as a first edition of Teresa’s works.

Director of the Booth Family Center for Special Collections John Buchtel, who oversees the library’s archives and collections, said that the collection consists of both old and new items on display.

“Some of the works on display are drawn from collections that have been here for more than 100 years,” Buchtel said. “We have been adding to the collection recently using our acquisition funds to find rare, relevant materials about St. Teresa.”

Georgetown owns one of St. Teresa’s rarest publications, “Los libros de la madre Teresa de Iesus,” published in 1588. It is unclear as to when the publication first arrived at Georgetown.

Buchtel said that the collection contains many other works that have been influenced by St. Teresa.

“One of the things the exhibition shows is just how significant an impact St. Teresa has had on the history of spirituality and on women’s history,” Buchtel said.

Proper Ladies perform Sept. 16

The Proper Ladies will perform in Princeton at the Town Hall Annex. The Proper Ladies will perform in Princeton at the Town Hall Annex. The Proper Ladies: Victorian Women in Song will perform at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16, in the Town Hall Annex, celebrating Princeton's 250th anniversary. The event is sponsored by the Friends of the Princeton Library.

The Proper Ladies explore life, and women's lives, in 19th century Princeton through songs and tidbits from stories of those who lived here.

The 19th century saw incredible changes in society and technology. Women were in the vanguard of some of the most important social movements of the day. They worked tirelessly to change the injustices of the era, the lack of universal suffrage, and slavery. Relive some of the joy, anger, humor and righteous indignation experienced by these Victorian women with The Proper Ladies.

Hear the songs that women sang as they led the major social struggles of the period, as they entertained in the parlour and as they grew up and coped with the restrictions they faced.

The Ladies will sing some familiar favorites ("Bicycle Built for Two"), some rare gems ("Room Enough for All") and the humorous ("What They do at the Springs"). They will also read from diaries, reminiscences, speeches and journals of the prominent and the obscure including Princeton residents and visitors Angela Heywood and Helen Hunt Jackson.

The Ladies, Anabel Graetz and Deborah Goss, have appeared throughout the Northeast and the Pacific Northwest at theatres, clubs, museums and concert halls. This chamber duo, appearing in authentic Victorian costume, perform in a cappella arrangements.

Refreshments will be served.

Promotion of Agricultural Products in the EU

05 November 2014

EU - The European Commission has approved 27 programmes to promote agricultural products in the European Union and in third countries.

The total budget of the programmes, the grand majority of which will run for a period of three years, is € 77,4 million of which the EU contributes € 39 million.

The selected programmes cover a variety of product categories, such as fresh and processed fruit and vegetables, dairy products, quality products (PDOs, PGIs, TSGsand organic products), flowers, quality meat, as well as, for the first time, sheep meat.

EU Agriculture Commissioner Dacian Ciolo? stated: "I am pleased to confirm our support for these new promotion programmes, including sheep meat for the first time. I hope they will boost consumption and sales at this difficult time.

"In the course of the last five years, we have become a net exporter of agri food products, with the value of exports accelerating faster than the volume, as consumers in other parts of the world appreciate the traditions, quality standards and tastes of Europe. These new measures will further enhance that reputation."

By 15 June 2014, within the information and promotion scheme, the Commission services received 43 proposals for programmes targeting the internal market and third countries as part of the second wave of programme selection for year 2014. After evaluation, 27 programmes were retained for co-financing out of which 21 target the internal market and 6 target third countries. Third countries and regions targeted are: North America, Latin America, Middle East, South-East Asia, Japan, North Africa and Turkey.

Moreover, two of the accepted programmes are so-called multi-programmes, programmes from organisations located in different member states that jointly carry out a promotion campaign. In the context of the recently agreed reform of the promotion policy, this type of promotion campaigns will be even more encouraged.

It was a slow year for me as a reader. I’m not sure if it’s because I moved cross-country again, or because I was getting married, or because there were so many pictures of celebrities exposing themselves on the Internet, but I just didn’t get around to reading very many books. I had trouble starting new books, quit several books midstream, which is something I rarely do, and felt bored by the majority of what I read.

That isn’t to say that there weren’t a few standouts in the field. Robert Baer’s terrific CIA memoir See No Evil, the first book I read this year, was excellent, in spite of having several key passages blacked out by CIA censors. My main man Somerset Maugham came through again with The Moon and Six Pence, his examination of the choices and sacrifices a man must make to become an artist. And Jesus’ Son, by Denis Johnson, was good enough to make me wonder why I hadn’t read it back when I was living in Iowa City (Also, the edition I bought, which is the only one I’ve seen, fits in my pocket, literally. Isn’t that great? Shouldn’t more books fit in our pockets?).

coverThe best book I read in 2006 was Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma. Pollan examines three different modes of food production and distribution. His critique of industrial agriculture, and its reliance on corn (which he points out is present in nearly everything in the supermarket, including beef, gossip magazines, even the walls of the market itself), is damning if not all that original (many of the points are made in Fast Food Nation), but the rest of the book, which examines organic farming, self-sustaining grass farming, and modern hunter-gathers, is truly eye-opening. He takes Whole Foods to task for their somewhat misleading labeling, spends a week working on a grass farm in Virginia, and cooks a meal entirely from foods that he hunted, gathered, and grew himself. What’s great about Pollan’s writing is his ability to take pages of statistics and endless lists of ingredients and turn them into something that is not only fun to read, but fun to discuss. I can’t remember reading a book that gave me more cocktail party ammunition that the The Omnivore’s Dilemma. While this review on Slate points out some of the flaws in Pollan’s approach, I still highly recommend the book to anyone who is interested in what they eat, and how they’ve come to eat it.

Some non-book related best and worsts of the year:

Best Movie: Brick (IMDb) It actually came out in 2005, but in 2005 I lived in Iowa, and movies don’t get to Iowa very quickly, so I didn’t see it until 2006. It won’t win any awards, which is surely a mark of its greatness.

Worst Movie: Rumor Has It (IMDb) edging out Loverboy (IMDb). Both of these movies left me wondering not only how they got made, but how I was duped into seeing them.

Worst Trends: Baseball general managers giving ludicrous contracts to borderline ballplayers. Juan Pierre? Gary Matthews Jr.? I’d be worth more money to a baseball team than either of these two out machines.

    I saw Brick this year as well, and echo the praises. It was one of my favorites, along with the feature documentary "The Devil and Daniel Johnson"

Toy Review: K'NEX Builds on the Imagination and Curiosity of Kids

‘America's Building Toy' is more than just a LEGO clone

By , Columnist
If the only K'NEX products you've noticed are its Mario Kart sets and Plants vs. Zombies Mystery Figure Bags, you could be forgiven for thinking that its one of an increasing number of toy makers cashing in on the popularity of LEGO. Yet, most of the construction sets made by this American company are designed around a different approach to junior engineering.

Rather than bricks, K'NEX products are comprised largely of rods, connectors and spacers. These come in a range of sizes and colors that are consistent between sets that share the same theme. This makes it easy to combine pieces from different sets to make original creations.

K'NEX proudly markets its product as 'America's Building Toy' and puts a strong emphasis on educational values. Sets come in various themed series and are pitched at a range of age groups. The Morton Report received representative products from several of these series for review and we took into consideration what they could teach children as well as the ease of construction and the appeal of the finished product.

Beasts Alive

KNEX_1.jpgThe Beasts Alive series is targeted at kids who love fantastic creatures. It includes several mechanical beasties based on mythical monsters, dinosaurs and creepy crawlies. Each set has instructions for one creature and two alternative designs that can be built with instructions downloadable from K' The instructions are printed on large pages and are broken down into modest steps.

Each step shows an inventory of parts that can be isolated before progressing. Based on the 'Stompz' and 'X-Flame' sets received for this review, the directions for where to connect parts are generally clear. However, some steps might be tricky for kids at the lower end of the 7+ target age group or that don't have an eye for details.

'Beasts Alive' models come with a battery-powered wired remote control that can make the animals walk backwards and forwards (batteries are not included). This should fire the imaginations of any child with a fascination for myths, legends and prehistoric animals. The clever interaction of the moving parts, meanwhile, can provide a neat introduction to mechanics.

K-NEX Thrill Rides

Most of the sets in this series represent fairground attractions, including an extraordinary six-foot Ferris Wheel. KNEX provided the 'Sky Sprinter Roller Coaster Building Set' for this review, which stands at around nine feet tall once completed.

Like the Beasts Alive sets, the toys in this series can be built to more than one design. The 'Sky Sprinter Roller Coaster' was based around a framework that could give a child insight into construction principles. Compared with the Beasts Alive models, the design is relatively simplistic but it still took several hours to complete. Hence, it is best suited to a child with plenty of patience (K'NEX wisely recommends this set for children aged 9 or older). Judging by the complexity of the some of the other models in this series, the same is probably true for the entire range.

One of the biggest attractions of the 'Sky Sprinter' and similar Thrill Rides sets is the fact that the roller coaster car is propelled around the track by a battery-powered motor. The motor gives the car a rapid push, which is enough to get it all the way around the track and back to the motor for another push.

One problem we found with the 'Sky Sprinter', however, is that the batteries drained quickly  through repeated use. It didn't take many turns before the standard Duracell batteries that were used for this review were drained to the extent that the motor couldn't push the car far enough for it to get back to the motor for another push. Moreover, because the motor requires three C batteries rather than AAs or AAAs, spent batteries cannot be readily recharged. Without batteries to drive the car, the finished set has limited appeal.

K-FORCE Build and Blast

This range features several foam projectile-firing weapons that are like build-it-yourself NERF guns. The 'Dual Cross Building Set' we reviewed consists of two trigger-controlled guns supported by a framework of rods and connectors. It took about two-and-a-half hours to build and join the two sides of the frame, which are essentially a mirror image of each other.

KForceBlaster.jpgConstruction was tricky in a couple of places because the subtle differences between the two sides aren't always explained in the instructions. Also, the inventories that show which parts are required for each step are hard to read because they are very small. The end result does not disappoint, though. Although it is mechanically simplistic, it looks impressive and can shoot projectiles over a distance of around 20 meters.

Given the construction materials, the sets in this series will not have the durability of their NERF counterparts. Moreover, parts could get lost if they are played with outside. For indoor room-to-room guerilla fighting, however, the finished toys should keep kids entertained. The supplied foam bullets tend to lose their plastic tips easily but still work and more rugged compatible replacements are easy to find in stores.

Mighty Makers

The building sets in this brightly-colored range are explicitly marketed as for girls and the intention seems to be to get young women interested in topics such as engineering and physics. With the possible exception of the 'Home Designer Building Set' that was sent for this review, the subjects in this range could be just as appealing to boys.

Home-Designer (Custom).jpgEach set includes a card that draws attention to the real-world principles illustrated by the toy (the card with the 'Home Designer Building Set' explains how frames used in buildings are designed to be strong). These cards don't carry a lot of information but they might encourage a child that has built a set to see beyond the prettily colored pieces.

The Mighty Makers sets are based on the same rods and connectors as the sets reviewed above but in colors that are presumably considered more appealing to girls. The 'Home Designer Building Set' took a couple of hours to build and only had a couple of slightly tricky steps. The doors and windows are loose and easily come off, however. Also, it would have been nice if the set came with more furniture so players could dabble with interior design. Even so, the sets in this series are well suited to children in the 7+ target age group

It is amazing that this toy celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2013. K'NEX recently rebooted it and has made TINKERTOY the company's equivalent of LEGO DUPLO. The series' various spools. rods, flags, washers, end caps and other parts are designed for children as young as three. Hence, they are larger and made of softer plastic than the parts in other K'NEX building sets. The pieces also fit together with just a slight push, which makes it easier for little hands to get creative.

Tinkertoy (Custom).jpgThe toys that can be made with TINKERTOY are inevitably less sophisticated than the end results of other K'NEX sets. Moreover, making the parts simple to put together means they also come apart more easily. Nonetheless, they offer a safe, durable and colorful introduction to construction for budding junior builders.

GUSTAVO POYET has confirmed that  Liverpool have accepted Sunderland's £14m offer for Fabio Borini - and expressed a hope that he will be able to discuss personal terms with the striker as quickly as possible.

The Black Cats' bid, which is understood to include an initial down payment of around £10m, was accepted on Friday evening.

However, rather than travelling to the North-East to discuss personal terms on Saturday, Borini was part of the Liverpool side that beat Preston 2-1 in a pre-season friendly.

Loading article content

That has led to suggestions in the Italian press that Borini is reluctant to return to the Stadium of Light, having spent last season on loan with the Black Cats.

However, Poyet is confident that a deal will be completed, and is planning to meet Borini and his representatives to begin personal discussions once the necessary paperwork has been received.

“What I can inform you is that we have agreed terms with Liverpool," said the Sunderland boss, who saw his own side kick off their pre-season preparations with a 5-1 win over Darlington on Saturday. "We are now waiting for correspondence, and we will go from there. We’re just waiting.

“It’s an ongoing thing. We’ve done the steps that we needed to do properly, but the next step is that we are still waiting for the correspondence. Then we will go on from there, doing everything official, in the right way.

“I think (Fabio’s) impact is clear, as is the reason why we want to spend that quantity of money. We know how much he can give us because we know him perfectly. It would be perfect for us."

Bunch Of Numbers From Where Daddy Works Means No Trip To Disney World

RED OAK, MI—Six-year-old Kevin Bligh confirmed Friday that the papers Daddy brings home from work with all the numbers on them mean there will be no trip to Disney World this year after all. “The numbers are mean because they make Daddy sad sometimes,” said Bligh, who drew a picture of a crying Mickey Mouse and an angry Daddy, who was holding up a paper with red-colored numbers on them. “And Mommy and Daddy always wave the number papers around when they’re yelling. Sometimes Daddy just sits at the kitchen table and stares at the numbers while he drinks from his brown bottle.” Although the first-grader told reporters that Daddy hugs him tightly at bedtime and promises everything’s going to be all right, Bligh said he’s pretty sure Daddy is lying to him.

In-store demos and radio and trade publication ads highlight July Fourth promotions from the Peruvian Avocado Commission.

“Fourth of July has become the largest consumption week of the year, and Peru is at its peak in the summer,” said Xavier Equihua, the commission’s chief executive officer.

For the in-store demos, more than 400 Wal-Mart stores and 200 Costco stores throughout the country will serve the commission’s Avo Dogs — hot dogs topped with Peruvian avocados — from June 26 through June 29.

“We’re recreating an American classic,” Equihua said of the Avo Dogs. “We want to introduce new ways of consuming our fruit. We want to move beyond the same old guacamole and slice of avocado on a cracker.”

At least one-third of all Wal-Marts in the U.S. stock Peruvian avocados, Equihua said.

Radio ads will run from June 23 through July 4. The 30-second spots with custom retailer tags will air in 18 markets and on Pandora Internet Radio.

Ads will be customized for each market and radio format, Equihua said.

Full-page ads will run in key trade publications reminding retailers to promote Peruvian fruit for the Fourth.

In addition, posts on the commission’s Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook pages will remind consumers to stock up on Peruvian avocados for the holiday.

Marineland (animal suffering); A message to John Holer (owner) to provide better management and care

  • by: Nikunj Varshney
  • target: John Holer, owner of Marineland; Municipal Government of Niagara Falls; Province of Ontario

Note: Please put in valid information on the petition for legal reasons.

THE EMPLOYEES AT THIS FACILITY DO NOT DENY MISTREATMENT. IN FACT THEY ARE THE ONES WHO BROUGHT THIS FORTH. There needs to be more attention, from the federal, provincial or municipal government in change of administration and care for the animals.

Evidence and pictures:

NIAGARA FALLS, ONT.—Larry lies behind bars in a pen, his eyes red and swollen. The harbour seal with “an amazing little personality” who arrived at Marineland about eight years ago is now a shadow of his former self. After repeated exposure to unhealthy water, he has gone blind. (The Star)

Only one example of the various accounts of animal suffering at Marineland, Ontario. The owner, John Holer, denies the evidence put forth by 8 former Marineland Employees. The water conditions have affected many of the marine animals, resulting in: Skin peeling off, inflammation around fins, inflammation in the eyes and blindness.

Sign to bring this message to John Holer. Let’s make him realize what he is apart of and being held accountable for; so he can fix this mess and the animals can stop spending their time in the level of pain they are in.
