Earth Day: The Simple, Local Stuff

A quick photographic Earth Day note: Even as societies ponder how to smooth the human journey on a finite planet at the global scale, it doesn’t hurt to try to get things reasonably right in our own neighborhoods.

This trash bin in the Times Square subway station this morning implies folks want to do the right thing, but — in this case — the system set up to manage waste isn’t keeping up. Send in links to images (ideally taken by you) that illustrate the local opportunities in forging a sustainable path.

Alethea & Athena

  • Mood:

Making the most of our time

We have some time before church, and we're going to use it to see how much of this report we can get written!

We had just finished with another endearing Stitch encounter, and we were on our way to Fantasyland. We walked through the castle gate, as one simply must do, and we were pointing out the statue of Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey to lyschan, as there's a parody of that statue in Noragami, when we noticed some guests walking down some stairs on the side of the castle. What's that all about?, we wondered. Glancing around, we saw a queue area, with a cast member there to answer questions. And so we asked her questions!

I said, "So, what is this exactly?" and she said that it's the line to go inside Cinderella's castle and see the throne room and stuff. What! That's just like the Sleeping Beauty's Castle walkthrough at Disneyland, only probably not nearly so Maleficentric, mainly because Maleficent isn't in Cinderella, but also because people don't care as much about Lady Tremaine as they do Maleficent, which is weird because they're practically the same person (she says, simply because they're played by the same very distinct voice actress (but they are both pretty darn evil, and their faces are shaped similarly)). Naturally, we had to get in line.

The line took us to a very regal hall where another cast member let us into an elevator. When we got off the elevator, we were in another very regal hall, only this one was lined with illustrations of Cinderella's story, starting from the very beginning as narrated by Cruella de Vil. Okay, so Cruella de Vil didn't narrate Cinderella's back story, but her voice actress did. But not in the castle, because it was all in text only. And there was another cast member there to help us know where to start reading. Once we got to the part where the stepsisters left for the ball, the hall opened up into a bigger room, which had pieces of fine art (sculptures and stuff) on display to illustrate the key scenes, all in different art styles. There were also magic dioramas that moved and transformed. It was pretty amazing, the one with the dress transformation. She was standing there in her torn up dress, and the Fairy Godmother goes, "Bibbidi Bobbidi Boo!", and the whole scene changes, with no trace of what had been there before! We figure it must have been a hologram effect or something, but whatever it was, it was cool.

I took a lot of pictures here, so I may not have registered the exact order of everything, but after the room with the dress transformation diorama, it makes sense that the next room would be illustrations of the ball. And in that room (whatever the art represented), every so often, you would hear some skittering coming from the walls, and then one of the wall ornaments would flip open and out would pop Jaq and Gus! It was so cool! And I think that room had the fitting of the slipper and everything, so the next room was the finale room which means...

Photo ops! Woohoo! They had an ottoman where you could sit and try on the slipper. Athena posed next to it in the attitude of, "Yeah, there ain't no way my foot's fitting into that." We have Anastasia and Drizella feet (and yet the Cinderella story never gave us self-esteem issues about our big feet; go figure). They had more portraits with characters from the movie, with a cast member there to suggest that maybe we would like to take a picture with the flash on. So I tried it, and bam! SPARKLES!!! Waaaah, that was so cool! So we made sure to get pictures with us in them. The one had all of Cinderella's friends from the Tremaine estate, and when you took a picture with the flash, there are sparkles and the word "friends". On the other side of the room was a portrait of the Fairy Godmother with her wand poised for magic. I think you can guess what the sparkles looked like in that one.

Finally, they have a throne you can sit on. And when it feels your weight, then there are more sparkles! Only this time, you can see them without a camera viewfinder. We took a picture of lys posing as King Yato.

It was all very lovely, and then we went outside to the veranda, which gave a lovely view of It's A Small World, and we went down the stairs that alerted us to this attraction's existence in the first place.

We continued on our merry Fantasyland way, stopping to go on Snow White's Scary Adventures...and Athena is saying she doesn't think they call it her "scary" adventures in Japan, just Snow White's Adventures. Neither of us remembers for sure, but either way, it's scarier than the "scary" adventures in California, so I don't know what that tells you. But that rock is totally about to fall on the guests. (But if you've seen the movie, you know that lightning strikes and the rock falls the other way, but then we're still going that way, so...)

Anyway, we came upon the Haunted Mansion, and learned that The Nightmare Before Christmas takes over the Tokyo Disneyland Haunted Mansion every year, too. The fastpass situation was just such that if we got fastpasses, we could go on Peter Pan's Flight and then right back over to the Haunted Mansion, so it was like, "We'll just wait in two lines at once!" And oh man, I like their Peter Pan's Flight so much better. I would feel worse saying that if they hadn't added oddly greenish pixie dust to the California version recently. But in their version, when you fly out the nursery window, you go over the courtyard where Nana is tied up, and all of the animatronics move more, and the way they do the pixie dust on the pirate ship is so much nicer, and, and, and...

But before we went on the Haunted Mansion, we noticed we were right next to Captain Hook's Galley, which is where we got those delicious milles crepes last time, so we wanted to get them again! ...Only they didn't have them this time. This time, they had castella cake with caramel custard filling. That sounded pretty good, too, so we tried some! It was a Mickey-shaped sponge cake sandwich, with caramelliness in the middle. I think I prefer the milles crepes, but it was still pretty tasty.

While we were eating those, we heard something going on over in Frontierland (the Galley is right on the border of Fantasyland and Frontierland...oops, I mean Westernland; I keep forgetting that), so we headed on over to check it out. There we discovered a couple of MCs dressed in frontier style clothes of Halloween colors, leading a couple of teams through some frontier games. I can't remember what they were doing when we got there...a race, or something? Yes, maybe I remember them using brooms to move a can... Or I'm imagining it. But then they moved on to another game, which had a fancy title that I don't remember, but it was basically making animal sounds. The MCs would show whoever's turn it was a picture, and they had to make the sound that animal makes, or if they didn't know, they could make something up, or even just shout the animal's name Pokemon-style (come to think of it, that's how Yukine imitated a tsuchinoko when he was forced to play one in Yato's retelling of his tsuchinoko hunt).

It was pretty interesting, because I'd see the picture and immediately think of the sound I was used to hearing from growing up, but then the team members would make a different sound, I would be like, "Oh yeah, Japanese onomatopoeia is different..." Unfortunately, we didn't quite catch the snake sound, because there's no way to accurately spell "ssss" in Japanese, so it must have been different. Oh, that reminds me, they were also supposed to do an action, so the girl did a slithering move. And that reminds me something else! One of the girls had to make a bat sound, and that's one we actually learned from anime and manga rather than children's books or anything growing up, but more importantly! back at DisneySea when we were on our way to use our Indiana Jones fastpasses, it was getting dark, and we saw bats flying around the Lost River Delta! It was so cool! We were like, "Hmm, that bird is flying kind of erratically... Waaaait..."

But anyway, the best part of this whole thing is that somehow, one of the teams ended up with a foreign tourist who didn't know so much Japanese, or at least they treated him like he didn't, and he did nothing to disillusion them. The picture he got was a porcupine. I assumed he was American at the time, so I figured he probably wasn't really as confused as the MCs thought he might be, but if he was from Australia or somewhere (Tokyo Disneyland is much closer to Australia than any American Disneyland), then maybe he wouldn't be so familiar with porcupines after all. (I actually have seen real porcupines; they had some at the LA Zoo, and at the Fresno Zoo, and I think even at some miniature zoo type thing they had at BYU...but not when we attended, one time when we visited as kids, and of course they have some in the Grand Canyon diorama at First Disneyland, but those ones are stuffed.)

Anyway! the important thing is that the MC wanted to make sure this guy knew what animal it was, but apparently he doesn't know the English word for it, so he described it for the guy as, "A mouse with sooo many needles." The Japanese word for hedgehog (which is like a little porcupine) is "hari-nezumi", which means "needle mouse". The Japanese word for porcupine is "yama-arashi", which means "mountain rampager", and there's a boy band of porcupines in Polar Bear's Cafe called Yama Arashi (a parody of Arashi, naturally), so Athena's solution to the problem was to sing Yama Arashi's theme song, which would have been pretty hilarious if she had been the one to get that animal, and if she knew more of the song. I think in real life they make a kind of clicking sound, somewhat like a capybara. Come to think of it, they probably are related.

Unfortunately, I don't remember what the porcupine guy did (I think he did a gesture to indicate porcupine spines, but that's the obvious thing, so I could have invented that memory). There was a skunk, too, and of course our answer to that one is, "He can call me flower...if he wants to..." Maybe we should learn the Japanese translation of that line...

But after the animal sounds game, they brought out special guests! And we kind of lost interest because of our intense anti-Pixar bias, which is focused most strongly on Toy Story, but they brought out Woody and Jessie, who joined their respective teams (they were Team Woody and Team Jessie) in a horseshoe toss tiebreaker. They rigged it so the team with the tiny little girl won. And what did they win? A picture with Woody and Jessie! Tadah! And then they went to give the other team a consolation prize...and Woody and Jessie very graciously offered to take a picture with them, too! Aww, how sweet.

By then we were like, "Okay, seriously, we have to use these fastpasses," so it was back to the Haunted Mansion: A Holiday Nightmare for us! Where do I begin on describing this one? I mean, it's the Haunted Mansion, and everybody knows that they put all these Halloween Town Christmas decorations on it for Halloween through Christmas, right? And they're Tim Burton style? But of course, there were differences, partly because their Haunted Mansion isn't exactly the same as ours, and partly because Japan does things differently (better, if you ask me, but of course you know we're very biased).

The first difference we noticed was when we went under that...okay, so you know how in big houses, they have those, like, catwalk things, only they're much nicer, like because they have a fancy staircase and you can see the upper floor from the lower floor? When you first get on the doom buggies in Japan, you go under one of those, and! for the Holiday Nightmare (I don't know if I'm remembering that subtitle accurately, by the way; just adding a disclaimer in case somebody comes along and is like, "Hey, that's not what it's called!), they have animatronic statues of Jack and Sally welcoming you to their party or whatever. We were like, "Whoa, that's so much more involved than in California!" But then we went on the California one again a couple of days ago, and remembered that at the doom buggy boarding area, they have a whole big moving display thingie with all the Halloween Town residents wishing you a Merry/Scary Christmas. But the CA one is plywood, while the Japan one is fully sculpted statues.

We moved on to another not-in-California room, where they had a vampire teddy bear playing the organ while Sally looked on dreamily. She didn't move as much as the welcome Sally (in fact, we don't think organ Sally moved at all), but the vampire teddy was pretty spazztastic, and Sally was in a contemplative pose, so she didn't stand out as being too static. What I'm saying is, the Tokyo Disneyland stuff always seems to be so much more dynamic, even when it's not moving. I did realize that my assessment might be unfair, and when we went on Haunted Mansion Holiday here to compare the two, the animatronic figures did indeed move more than I remembered, but... (and I'm always so critical) But they just added a new Sally figure this year, because until now, the only Sally they've had in CA is the one replacing the tiny ghost that says, "Hurry back!" at the end, so they've increased her presence by adding a life-sized figure of her in the graveyard scene. And she even moves! She blinks (and it's not even a projection!), and she moves her foot up and down. So at first I was like, "Oh wow, they actually have her moving and everything!" but, always critical, I also had to make note that she had her hands crossed under her chin (she was leaning forward on a tombstone, resting her elbows on top of it), and both arms seemed to be just one mass fused together, so I was back to my, "Making it as cheap as possible, eh?" attitude. Eh heh heh...

But back to Japan. There were two other noticeable differences, the first of which being that the naughty/nice list in the attic had a lot more Japanese names on it (they list people who worked on the attraction), and the second and best thing about the ride is that in the ballroom, there's a little door that, in California, opens into the library, where there's a Christmas tree made of flying books (poltergeist style, I guess), but in Japan, it has Jack and Sally under the mistletoe, and it was sooooo cute. Oh! And the organist in the ballroom is wearing a Santa hat. And! (I guess there were a lot more than two noticeable differences after all) they don't have an enormous gingerbread house, which is a shame because the gingerbread smell they pump into the room in CA is delicious, but instead they have a Christmas cake, which is one of the big Christmas traditions in Japan, so they couldn't very well leave it out. And finally, in CA, they replaced the Hitchhiking Ghosts with Oogie Boogie, who has a roulette wheel that supposedly determines what hologram gift is going to follow you home (we got lit dynamite last time). It wasn't always that way; I seem to remember going on the Haunted Mansion one year when they were advertising brand new Oogie Boogie! So I think what they have in Japan is what they had before they added Oogie. In Japan, they replaced the Hitchhiking Ghosts with Lock, Shock, and Barrel, and one of them rides in your doom buggy with you until the end of the ride.

And there you have it. That's the differences between the two Haunted Mansion holiday overlays. And now we need to get ready for church, so more on that later.

Thomas Foods International access project, Murray Bridge

About the Project

In support of Thomas Foods International’s major private investment in a new state-of-the-art meat processing facility, to be located six kilometres north of Murray Bridge on Mannum Road, supporting roadworks were competed in early December 2020.

The Australian and South Australian governments committed $14 million, split 50:50, for the planning, design and construction of these roadworks to provide access to the new facility.

The Rural City of Murray Bridge Council managed the roadworks construction which was completed by Downer EDI (in-conjunction with locally based Spry Constructions). This project has provided a new 2.2 kilometre public access road and an associated junction at Mannum Road.  The new junction includes a protected right turn lane, as well as deceleration and acceleration lanes to assist with safety and traffic flows along Mannum Road.

The new meat processing facility will employ up to 2,000 staff when fully operational and will enable use of higher productivity freight vehicles to serve the site’s transport requirements.

An initial investigation into the provision of safe access for staff and high productivity vehicles between the new site and the surrounding road network identified the need for a new junction and associated link road to provide a safe connection to Mannum Road.

The primary objectives of this project were:

  • to support the major investment in new infrastructure by TFI that will improve local economic conditions within a South Australian regional town, leading to greater employment opportunities
  • to provide safe access for the 2,000 staff vehicles and higher productivity freight vehicles to the new TFI meat processing facility, by provision of the new junction on Mannum Road and link road, as well as ensuring the safety for all road users along this section of Mannum Road
  • to achieve the requirements for use of road train vehicles (up to 36.5m length) to enhance TFI’s economic competitiveness for transport of goods in the local, interstate and overseas markets
  • to maximise the potential for additional development along the new link road.

Media Releases

Tender released for road access construction to support Thomas Foods International facility - 24 April 2020

Review #4: AD Rattray Cask Islay

Like many blended scotch brands, AD Rattray was known to us first as a favored rum blend brand while drinking through the rums at Smuggler’s Cove. We were excited to find this (very reasonably) priced bottle at K&L Spirits and scooped it up immediately.

Whisky glass next to many whisky bottles
Cask Islay in front of a shelf of our burgeoning whisky collection

Quick overview of our scoring system

Tastes likes it noses. There’s a light bandage component weaved in with honeysuckle, cantaloupe, and lemon. The taste is rather delicate for an Islay (rather than the strong peat of a Laphroaig). Light end notes move from nice sweetness back into bandage territory. It tastes like what it’s advertised to be: a gateway into Islay for non-Islay drinkers. However, it may not be punchy enough for true peat fiends.

Additional Information

  • ABV 46%
  • “Cask Islay” originally was released as a blended whisky but now is a single malt from an unnamed (trade secret) Islay distillery and aged in ex-bourbon and ex-sherry barrels. Some guess Caol Ila.

More Info on AD Rattray

Shhhh! We’re all used to the wild squealing and moaning that comes from the nymphomaniacs getting railed in today’s hardcore porngraphy, but the name of this next site suggests maybe we should keep quiet. I’m really not sure if that’s possible. VRHush is a virtual reality porno site, so while the action may be restrained to a screen half an inch from your eyeballs that nobody else can see, you’re going to have a hard time staying silent as all these virtual porno starlets ride your cock in blisteringly real 3D.

VRHush.com was registered in 2015, giving it a few years over all the new VR porno sites popping up right now. As more Oculus Quest and PSVR units move into more households, you nerds are getting more and more vocal about how fucking cool is to swing a virtual sword to music. That’s cool and all, especially if you’re a little fucking baby, but we all know you invested hundreds of dollars on this tech because you’re interested in a different type of virtual swordplay. For the retarded, I’m talking about long-shafted weapons as a metaphor for playing with your dick.

Watching Netflix While a Bitch Rides My Dick

The landing page to VRHush promises EXTREME IMMERSION with an image of a dark-haired whore riding some knucklehead holding a VR gadget to his face. They offer ORIGINAL 4K CONTENT with two nasty blondes on top of another dude with his eyes covered by a high-tech sex helmet. The thumbnails for HD STREAMING and the ability to USE ANY DEVICE also feature men getting laid even while tethered to those expensive new toys.

What the fuck are they watching in there? Are these porno studs a bunch of autistic Rain Man wannabes who simply can’t be pulled away from their Netflix even to have a threesome with a couple of beautiful pornstars? Are they caught up in a game of Fallout VR so intense they’re afraid to lose their bottle caps by burying their face between a pair of live, flesh-and-blood titties? Or are they watching porno so fucking hot that it’s even better than the real sex they’re having at that moment?

Based on the samples from the newest VR porno scenes on the site, I’m going to guess it’s that last option. The newest flick, I’m So Glad I Followed You Up Here, features a hot teenage brunette with little natural tits getting banged doggystyle and cowgirl in the most realistic POV you’ve ever seen. The thumbnail alone, with her hairless, puckered butthole winking at the camera as she takes a hard cock to the twat, has me hard as a rock before I can even get my sex box strapped to my face.

A lot of the premium porno sites have stopped letting people stream video previews, but VRHush will not only let you stream the trailers, but download them as well. Since this is VR, those downloads will give you a better taste of the full 4K HD realism than the streaming will, at least until consumer Internet connections get a lot better.

Just based on the free tastes outside, it’s been a really fucking good month for 3D porno here. Last week there was a hardcore Fourth of July celebration at a frat house featuring pussy licking and jizz swallowing, and before that a blonde with enormous knockers was giving killer titjobs, blowjobs, and footjobs. Their Father’s Day special featured a stunning redhead going reverse cowgirl before being hosed down with a facial.

Smashing My Favorite porno Sluts in 3D

I clicked the Show Promos button near the top of the screen and got a box offering me 40% off for their Independence Day special if I JOIN NOW! The $5.75 per month they mentioned only applies if you spring for a full year of 360 immersive video sex, but even the regular monthly rate breaks down to a cool $12.25 with the discount applied. That’s a hell of a fucking bargain, especially considering your typical 2D premium sex site runs about 30 bucks these days.

I was pretty thrilled just looking at the landing page, but once I was logged in the members’ area had me dripping in my underwear immediately. Beneath their newest, upcoming and top-rated VR fuck flicks is a picture menu of just some of the beautiful, world-class pieces of ass they’ve worked with. You’ve been fantasizing about some of these girls for years, and now get to smash them in virtual fucking reality!

Abella Danger and that beautiful white girl ass of hers have starred in half a dozen VR movies at VRHush so far, and I hope she keeps that streak going. Riley Reid, Ella Knox, and Adriana Chechik have all shot multiple movies with this company as well. Fuck, they’ve even got classic MILF Nina Hartley bringing her decades of sexual expertise to the future with this 3D smut.

The full archive of VR hardcore flicks at VRHush is almost 200 deep now. I know that’s pretty much chicken change these days, as a lot of the big premium sites and networks are offering catalogs with thousands of exclusive dirty movies. This is virtual reality porn, though. The genre is still so new that you’re not going to find a whole mountain of it like you can with other types of filth. A couple hundred ain’t bad, especially for the price.

A Perfectly Good Reason to Masturbate On The Bus

Can I Watch This With You opens with Brooklyn Gray walking in on you looking at porno while she’s looking for her phone. Just watching her walk into the room in those tiny shorts is definitely a worthwhile experience in 3D, so I don’t know why this asshat would waste his time staring at a laptop. She bends over needlessly to look in obviously empty areas, which suggests it’s not actually her phone she’s looking for.

Virtual reality gives you an extra level of intimacy that’s just impossible with the flat stuff. Brooklyn chatting with me in VR about watching porno is just about as sexy as regular porno itself. When she strips down to a sexy red bra and panties a few minutes in, promising to suck my cock like in the movie we are both watching, I think I fell in love.

Early VR fuck flicks had too many awkward angle changes, but the studios are really figuring out the right and wrong ways to do this. Can I Watched This With You mostly plays out in a sitting position as Brooklyn strokes your shaft, polishes it with her mouth, and even sucks on the balls a bit. She’s a loud girl, gurgling as her face bobs on your virtual junk. She climbs on top for a ride about halfway through and later stands over you, fingering herself and begging you to stretch her out some more.

This babe is truly amazing and the scene would be a keeper even if it wasn’t in 3D. The fact that this brings me much closer to actually smashing this ripe young broad than I’d ever get in real life makes this a fucking wet dream come true, and I guarantee I’m not the only one who’s going to feel that way.

VRHush is one of those rare porno sites where I really have to reach to find anything wrong with it. The one complaint I can find is that movies look a hell of a lot better if you download the huge files instead of streaming. This means it’s going to take you a lot more time and setup before you start masturbating, but that’s true with any premium virtual reality porno site.

A membership to VRHush.com should be an easy sell for anyone looking to fill their new VR gadget up with this high-tech new style of porngraphy. Their weekly updates are hot enough that I’d be comfortable shelling out a regular sex paysite rate for access to the 3D smut. It costs less than half what you’d expect, so sign up before they raise the price. Check out those free previews if you don’t believe me.

By NAN Staff Writer

News Americas, NEW YORK, NY, Thurs. Nov. 4, 2021: The US’ first black, Caribbean and Jamaican American Secretary of State,Colin Luther Powell is set to be funeralized tomorrow at The National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.

The public will be able to view the service via livestream on The National Cathedral’s website.

The senior statesman died at age 84 on October 18, 2021, at Walter Reed Hospital in Bethesda, Maryland. Though he was fully vaccinated, his family said he succumbed to complications of COVID-19 based on his illnesses.

Before there was Colin Luther Powell, the man who would go on to become the US’ National Security Advisor, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the first black and Jamaican American Secretary of State, there was Luther Theophilus Powell, his Jamaican immigrant father.

Luther Powell emigrated from Kingston, Jamaica and entered the United States at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, aboard the Manchioneal on April 26, 1920. He filed this Declaration of Intention to become a U.S. citizen on December 12, 1929.

Luther Powell was born in Top Hill, Saint Elizabeth, Jamaica on May 18, 1898, to Aubrey Spencer Powell and Rosina Bromfield. In the US, he became a shipping clerk and married Maud Arial McKoy. She was born on January 4, 1901, in Westmoreland, Jamaica to Edwin Octavius McKoy and Alice Rebecca Coote.

She immigrated to Ellis Island, New York City, New York, United States in 1923 and married Luther Theophilus Powell on December 28, 1929, in Harlem, New York City. On April 5, 1937, she gave birth to a baby boy who they named Colin Luther Powell. Ten years earlier, they had given birth to their first child, Marilyn.

When the little Colin was 4, his family moved to the South Bronx so his maternal grandmother, Gram Alice McKoy to take care of the children as Luther worked and his wife continued to sew.

Colin Luther Powell attended the now closed Morris High School, from which he graduated in 1954. While at school, he also worked at a local baby furniture store, where he picked up Yiddish from the Eastern European Jewish shopkeepers and some of the customers. He also served as a Shabbos goy, helping Orthodox families with needed tasks on the Sabbath.

From high school, he went on to City College of New York, where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in geology in 1958. He joined the U.S. Army through ROTC, starting as the youngest second lieutenant commissioned in the dawn of a newly desegregated Army.

Powell served two combat tours in Vietnam; he was injured during both. Injuries sustained in a helicopter crash from which he pulled two fellow soldiers earned him medals for bravery during the second tour.

While serving in the military, Powell met Alma Vivian Johnson on a blind date. The couple married in August 1962.

After receiving his Master of Business Administration from Georgetown University, Powell began a White House Fellowship under President Richard Nixon in 1972.

Almost two decades later, in 1987, President Ronald Reagan named Powell national security advisor. The president later named him chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest military position in the Department of Defense. The appointment made Powell the youngest chairman ever and the first of Afro-Caribbean American heritage. He was also the first former ROTC member to hold the position.

Upon graduation, he received a commission as an Army second lieutenant and underwent training in the state of Georgia, where he was refused service in bars and restaurants because of the color of his skin. After attending basic training at Fort Benning, Powell was assigned to the 48th Infantry, in West Germany, as a platoon leader.

Captain Powell served a tour in Vietnam as a South Vietnamese Army (ARVN) advisor from 1962 to 1963. He returned to Vietnam as a major in 1968, serving as assistant chief of staff of operations for the 23rd (Americal) Infantry Division.

When he returned to the US from Vietnam in 1971, Powell earned a Master of Business Administration degree from George Washington University in Washington, D.C. He later served a White House Fellowship under President Richard Nixon from 1972 to 1973. During 1975-1976 he attended the National War College, Washington, D.C.

Following the Iran-Contra scandal, Powell became, at the age of 49, Ronald Reagan’s National Security Advisor, serving from 1987 to 1989 while retaining his Army commission as a lieutenant general.

In April 1989, after his tenure with the National Security Council, Powell was promoted to four-star general under President George H. W. Bush and briefly served as the Commander in Chief, Forces Command (FORSCOM), headquartered at Fort McPherson, Georgia, overseeing all Army, Army Reserve, and National Guard units in the Continental US, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. He became the third general since World War II to reach four-star rank without ever serving as a division commander, joining Dwight D. Eisenhower and Alexander Haig.

Later that year, President George H. W. Bush selected him as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Powell’s last military assignment, from October 1, 1989, to September 30, 1993, was as the 12th chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the highest military position in the Department of Defense. At age 52, he became the youngest officer, and first Afro-Caribbean American, to serve in this position.

During this time, Powell oversaw responses to 28 crises, including the invasion of Panama in 1989 to remove General Manuel Noriega from power and Operation Desert Storm in the 1991 Persian Gulf War. During these events, Powell earned the nickname “the reluctant warrior,” although Powell himself disputed this label, and spoke in favor of the first Bush administration’s Gulf War policies.

Powell took an early resignation from his tenure as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff on September 30, 1993 after 35 years of service and with the rank of general. In 1995, Powell wrote his autobiography, My American Journey,’ in which he paid tribute to his parents.

In 2001, Powell was appointed, confirmed and sworn in as the first Black and Jamaican American US secretary of state and the 65th United States secretary of state, serving under Republican President George W. Bush.

As secretary of state, Powell gave a speech before the United Nations regarding the rationale for the Iraq War, but he later admitted that the speech contained substantial inaccuracies.

He resigned in 2004, following a prostate cancer diagnosis and went on to write the second of his two books, It Worked for Me, Lessons in Life and Leadership, while continuing his relationship with the Colin Powell School for Civic and Global Leadership at City College of New York.

Powell is survived by his wife Alma, daughters Linda and Annmarie, son Michael and grandchildren.

Money Man Wants Label Advance In Bitcoin After Money Man Collects $1 Million

The content originally appeared on: Urban Islandz

Meek Mill wants his next label advance in Bitcoin after Money Man started the trend.

Although digital currency still seems futuristic to most of us, it looks like crypto is here to stay. While it first seemed like a currency used only by investors and tech gurus, it is now becoming mainstream, making its way into major business dealings and the music industry.

Bitcoin is the clear leader in the cryptocurrency market, establishing enough credibility to substitute as cash in a million dollar deal between EMPIRE music and rapper Money Man. The landmark deal marks the first time a record label has issued an advance in Bitcoin, but it will not be the last.

EMPIRE’s founder, Ghazi, posted a video of his million dollar Bitcoin transfer to Money Man on Instagram, surprising the industry and inspiring other artists to consider cryptocurrency in their future business dealings. Most notably, Meek Mill has spoken out on his dissatisfaction with his contract in some recent tweets, adding that he might consider Bitcoin as payment going forward.

“I haven’t get paid from my music and I don’t know how much money labels make off me!!!!!” he tweeted in October. “I need lawyers asap!!!”

He went on to threaten to release his record deal to the public to expose the unfair financial situation he has allegedly found himself in.

Responding to the announcement of Money Man’s Bitcoin deal, Meek posted a picture of Money Man’s balance on his Instagram story, adding the caption, “Ima get my next record deal paid in bit coin behind @moneyman”.

Meek Mill IG

EMPIRE seems to be paving the way when it comes to this style of business dealings, announcing on Tuesday, November 9th, that they will be extending an offer of Bitcoin as an option for every artist they sign to the label from now on. As with so many other cultural trends, Bitcoin is likely to take off even more now that it has received the seal of approval from the hip hop world.

Table access

The syTrxList form in the Dynamics.dic dictionary must be able to access the main table used for your transaction list. A reference to the main table for the transaction list provides this access. You create this reference using a global procedure for your integration. For example, the following is the procedure in the sample integrating application that creates a reference to the ContactHistoryTrxTemp table for the Contact History list.

Procedure name: AssignTableRef_ContactHistoryList

if isopen(form syTrxList) then
	assign ListObjState:'Table Reference' of window TrxList of form syTrxList as reference to table ContactHistoryTrxTemp;
end if;

The procedure that assigns the table reference must be called each time the transaction list is opened. This in done using a trigger that will call the AssignTableRef procedure you just created. The procedure trigger is created in the RegisterTableRefTrigger procedure that is part of your transaction list form. The following is the RegisterTableRefTrigger procedure for the Contact History list.

out integer nTriggerTag;

local integer nStatus;

nStatus = Trigger_RegisterFocus(anonymous('Attach Button' of window TrxList of form syTrxList), TRIGGER_FOCUS_CHANGE, TRIGGER_AFTER_ORIGINAL, script AssignTableRef_ContactHistoryList, nTriggerTag);
if nStatus <> SY_NOERR then
	error "Could not register the RegisterTableRefTrigger for the Contact History list";
end if;

The tag for this trigger is automatically saved so that this trigger can be unregistered when the list is closed or another list is displayed.

How to calculate solar panel battery and inverter

How to calculate solar panel battery and inverter Overview

The solar panel is a device that converts sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic cells. It can be used as a standalone power source, but it’s more common when combined with batteries and inverters.

An inverter changes DC from Solar Panel into AC which we use every day like light bulbs etc. Batteries are needed because of the low voltage output of solar panels, so they store energy during day time and release it at night.

So you need both these devices together to make your home fully self-sufficient. But how do you know what size of solar panel will work best? What kind of batteries should I buy?

These questions may seem simple, but there are many factors involved in choosing the right equipment. This post explains everything about calculating solar panel batteries and inverters.

  1. Calculating Battery Size :
    Battery capacity depends on the number of hours per year you want to run appliances. For example, If you have a small house, you don’t need a large battery bank. You need enough battery to last few days. On the other hand, if you live in a big city where you get less sun than ordinary people, you might require a larger battery bank. The most popular type of battery bank available today is deep-cycle lead-acid batteries. They provide a long life span and high reliability. However, their cost is higher compared to AGM batteries. Another option is AGM batteries which are cheaper but not very reliable. There are also hybrid systems combining both types of batteries.

Battery Bank Capacity Number of Hours / Year * 100%
Example – A 10Ah Deep Cycle Lead Acid Battery has a capacity of 1000Whrs/year. That means it can supply power for one hour each day for 365days.
So if you plan to run lights 24hours a day, 7 days a week, you would need a 10 Ah battery bank.
If you only plan to run lights 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week, you could go with a 6 Ah battery bank.
AGM batteries are a good choice if you plan to run the appliance for a short period, such as microwave ovens, coffee makers, etc.
If you plan to run a refrigerator all day long, you must consider buying a bigger battery bank.

  1. Calculating Power Output of Solar Panels :
    The amount of wattage produced by solar panels varies depending upon location, weather conditions, angle of Sunlight, the efficiency of PV cells, and its age. Most manufacturers give average numbers for different locations.
    To calculate watts generated by a solar panel, you multiply the area of the solar panel times intensity of sunlight received by that area. The intensity of sunlight is measured in Watts per square meter. To find out how many wattages you generate daily, you divide the total wattage by 12.
  2. Calculating inverter Voltage & Amperage :
    An inverter is basically a circuit breaker. When connected between two poles of the battery bank, it breaks down direct current into alternating current. An inverter provides a constant frequency of 60Hz. Its rated ampere rating determines maximum load current. Maximum load current Rated Amps + 20%.
    To calculate volts provided by the inverter, you take input voltage divided by the resistance value. The resistance value is determined by dividing amps by volts.
    For example, if you connect a 3Amp load to a 15Vdc battery, the inverter needs to produce 18 Volts.Tips on how to choose the right solar inverter and battery
  3. Choose Inverter based on your application requirements.
    You should know what kind of loads will be running at home during peak periods. Will they be using more electricity like washing machine, dishwasher, air conditioner, etc.? Or will there be no use of AC except occasional lighting? Etc.
  4. Consider inverter output capability.
    Most modern inverters come with built-in protection circuits. They have overcurrent, Undervoltage, reverse polarity, and thermal shutdown protections. These protectors shut down the inverter automatically once certain limits are exceeded. If these limit values are not met, the inverter shuts itself down before damage occurs. This protects both the inverter and the battery bank. If you want to avoid shutting down the system due to overload, make sure to select an inverter that comes with higher ratings than those mentioned above.
  5. Select the appropriate size of battery pack.
    Battery capacity directly affects the cost of installation. The larger the battery pack, the greater the initial investment. But when appropriately installed, large packs last longer. A good rule of thumb is to buy enough power to meet all expected usage plus 10% extra. So if you expect average consumption of 100W / hour, get a 200Whr battery.
  6. Check whether the inverter has proper grounding.
    Inverters need to be grounded so that they don’t cause electrical shock hazards while connecting them to the grid. Most inverters sold nowadays come with ground wire already attached. However, if yours doesn’t, you may attach one yourself. It’s recommended to install a separate ground rod near the house because most houses are made of metal materials. Ground rods help prevent electric shocks caused by lightning strikes.
  7. Do not forget to check the charging port specifications.
    Inverter manufacturers specify minimum and maximum charge rates. The minimum charge rate specifies the lowest amount of time needed to recharge the battery fully. The maximum charge rate indicates how fast the battery can accept current. Some inverters allow only full discharge followed by recharging. Others allow partial discharges followed by complete recharge. Always refer to the manufacturer’s manual for details.

Knowing the amount of solar energy available from the sun helps us plan our daily activities accordingly. It’s important to match the correct type of batteries and inverter with each other and the applications we intend to run. We also need to consider the location where we wish to place it. All these factors play a vital role in determining the performance of the whole setup.

On March 5, the Southern Nazarene University (SNU) men’s and women’s basketball teams will be taking the court in Bartlesville, Okla. They will be playing in Bruin Fieldhouse for the Great American Conference (GAC) championship. The men’s team is 21-7 overall and 15-5 in the GAC. The women’s team is 15-9 ovSNU player dribbling the ball during a gameerall and 12-8 in the GAC. Both teams have two more games until they head to the conference championship.

The men’s team is currently number one in the conference standings and is expected to win the conference title. Freshman Ethan Castillo states that “the men’s team should win the tournament and be crowned conference champions.” Castillo says, “I don’t see any team even being a challenge for SNU on their way to the title.”

They also have one of the best players in GAC history, Jonathan Dunn. Dunn recently became Southern Nazarene’s all-time leader in points and is currently ranked first in points per game in the GAC. Dunn is also the 2-time reigning GAC player of the year. Castillo says, “J Dunn is the best player in the tournament by far. There’s no competition.”

The women’s team is currently tied for 6th in the conference standings and is looking to surprise people in the tournament. Freshman Isaiah Diggs says that he “expects the women’s team to shock everyone in the conference and win the conference title.” Sonia Sarda will look to continue to facilitate the SNU offense in the tournament. SNU player going up for a lay up in a game

Sarda leads the GAC in assists at 4.9 per game. Diggs says, “Sarda will play the best of any player [at] SNU.” Diggs also says that “Kennedy Gillette should receive a bigger role in the Conference Tournament because her toughness will come in handy down the stretch.” Both of these teams have had amazing seasons and will try to achieve greatness by making their mark in the Conference Tournament.

TheMilitary-Industrial Complex from an Ecological Perspective

I found this wonderful article tonight. 20th Century history where humans inhabit the landscape as "detritovores":
"...When General Eisenhower, as retiring president, warned the American people to beware of unwarranted influence wielded by the military-industrial complex, it was presumably political and economic influence that he had in mind.

But the military-industrial complex was a vast conglomeration of occupational niches. As such, it wielded an altogether different (and even more insidious) kind of influence. The military-industrial complex helped perpetuate the illusion that we still had a carrying capacity surplus; it made it profitable for the living generation to extract and use up natural resources that might otherwise have been left for posterity. It absorbed for a while most of the excess labor force displaced by technological progress from older occupational niches that had been less dependent on drawing down reservoirs of exhaustible resources. It thus helped us believe that the Age of Exuberance could go on.

Nor was General Eisenhower alone in missing the ecological significance and over-emphasizing the political elements in the trends of' his time. His young, articulate, and sophisticated Bostonian successor launched a new administration with an inaugural address whose inspirational quality lay partly in its eloquent resolution of American ambivalence. If we wanted to maintain full employment, we dreaded achieving it by means of an arms race. Subtly, and with the gloss of' high idealism, John F. Kennedy reassured the nationwide television audience on that crisp, brilliant January day in 1961 that the temporary occupational niches of the military-industrial complex could be long-lasting and could be made more honorable than horrible. There was to be a "new Alliance for Progress," and we were to hope for emancipation from the "uncertain balance of terror that stays the hand of' mankind's final war." But the conflict-bred niches would last, for "the trumpet summons us again . . . to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle year in and year out . . . against the common enemies of man: tyranny, poverty, disease and war itself." Under both parties, the military-industrial complex enabled us to be preoccupied with matters that helped us ignore resource limits. It helped thereby to obscure the fact that population was expanding to fill niches that could not be permanent because they were founded upon drawing down prehistoric savings, exhaustible fossil energy stocks.

The human family, even if it were soon to stop growing, had committed itself to living beyond its means. Homo sapiens, as we saw in Chapter 9, was capable of transforming himself into new "quasi-species." By the Industrial Revolution humans had turned themselves into "detritovores," dependent on ravenous consumption of long-since accumulated organic remains, especially petroleum...."[1]

100 Percent Of US Senate Against MBS

Wow. Sometime ago I here called for Crown Prince of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Mohamed bib Salman bin Abdulaziz al Sa'ud, (MbS) to be rmoved from his position.  How he is punished beyond that for his crimes, I do noit care, especially as I think being prevented from becoming the King of Saudi Arabia will be for him the worst punishment.

So the for once the US Senate agrrees with me, 100%, really.  Hey, I have to cheer such an event that has never happened brfore and probably will not again. Yay!  The US Senate has 100% voted to declare that MbS is guilty for ordering the murder of Kamal Khashoggi.  They are right.  He is guilty guilty guuilty.

He needs to be removed, and the sooner the broader Saudi royal family figures this out and moves to replace him, the better, really, for the world as a whole, given the ongoing important role that nation plays in the world economy worldwide.  It is clear thart he came to power thanks to Jared Kushner and the Trump admin, who supported his coup removal of his predecessor, Muhammed bin Nayef bin Abdulaziz al Sa'ud, who was deeply respected by US mil-intel apparati. MbS had become Defense Sec and was able to send his guys to MbN's palace and imprison him until he gave up and let MbS replace him as Crown Prince.  None of this woudl have happened without Trump and Jared Kushner approving of it, which they did.

So now the  US Senate has figured out that I was right that this was a totsl disaster, that MbS is completely unacceptable as a leader of Saudi Arabis.  This is not a matter of the US declaring against a democraticallhy elected leader.  This is ultimately an absolute monarchy now facing its deeply difficult succession problem.  Folllowing corrupt influence from tehe US, their leaders have made a bad decision, choosing MbS.

I appreciate that it may not be that easy for the royal famoly to get rid of this power hungry murderer, but I applaud this unanimous vote from the US Senate.  He needs to go.

BTW, some time ago there were rumors that a "Co-Prince"  might be approved, although with MbS retaining the succession right.  That Co-Prince is the current Governor of Mecca, a very serious position in that nation, Khalid bin Faisal bin Abdulaziz al Sa'ud, 78 years old.  I actually know KbF and can attest that he is a deeply intelligent and reasonable  person who would make an excellent replacement for the worthless and ddisgusting and degraded MbS.  While KbF is super competent, the legally in place person MbS violently removed, Muhamed bin Nayef bin Abdulaziz al Sa'ud.

In any case, recent Saudi policy has been an outrage, with its war in Yemen the extreme manifesation of how  bad MbS is.  The Senate has also voted against the US supporting this awful war, although not unanimously, and  with the old House of Paul Ryan not supporting any of this.

In any case, I applaud this unanimous vote for MbS to go.  Really, the Saudi royal family needs to get its you know what together and overcome the current king's support fot his discredited son and put something more reasonable in as Crown Prince.  There are several candidates available who would hopefully stop the horrendous war in Yemen.

Urgent: Taking politics out of economics
Comment on Barkley Rosser on ‘100 Percent Of US Senate Against MBS’

The status of economics is this: There is political economics and theoretical economics. The main differences are: (i) The goal of political economics is to successfully push an agenda, the goal of theoretical economics is to successfully explain how the actual economy works. (ii) In political economics anything goes; in theoretical economics, the scientific standards of material and formal consistency are observed.

Political economics is mere opinion, theoretical economics is knowledge: “In order to tell the politicians and practitioners something about causes and best means, the economist needs the true theory or else he has not much more to offer than educated common sense or his personal opinion.” (Stigum)

Economists do not have the true theory but they have many opinions. The four main approaches ― Walrasianism, Keynesianism, Marxianism, Austrianism ― are mutually contradictory, axiomatically false, materially/formally inconsistent and all got the pivotal economic concept profit wrong.

After 200+ years, the status of economics is this: Economics is a failed/fake science and the vast majority of economists are stupid/corrupt political agenda pushers. Economics is an integral part of the political Circus Maximus. Because economists do not have the true theory they are not entitled to give policy advice.#1

Rather odious examples of soapbox economics are provided by the busy communicators across the political spectrum from Paul Krugman to Brad DeLong to Noah Smith to Simon Wren-Lewis to David Glasner to Mark Thoma to Bill Mitchell to Steve Keen, to Barkley Rosser.

Barkley Rosser never understood how the economy works and has swapped economics for foreign policy. His field of interest is now the Middle East in general and Mohamed bib Salman bin Abdulaziz al Sa’ud (MbS), in particular. Barkley Rosser has not enough brain for thinking but still enough for journalism and moralizing. His summary of MbS’ role in the Khashoggi affair is: “He is guilty guilty guuilty” and “I think being prevented from becoming the King of Saudi Arabia will be for him the worst punishment.”

Not one iota of economics or objective analysis left ― what remains is gutter journalism.

There is the political sphere and there is the scientific sphere. The political sphere is about agenda pushing, the scientific sphere is about knowledge. In the political sphere, every imbecile is entitled to climb on a soapbox and to vomit the content of his dysfunctional brain all over the place. In the scientific sphere, people are supposed to contribute something to the growth of knowledge.#2

The two spheres must be kept apart. The strict separation of the scientific sphere and the political sphere is necessary because politics always and everywhere corrupts science.#3 Schumpeter exactly spotted the ultimate cause of the all too obvious scientific failure of economist: “It is only our inability to divorce research from politics, or our suspicion, all too often justified, that the other fellow cannot analyze with single-minded devotion to truth, which makes problems and party issues out of decisions that do not excite anyone in more fortunate fields of research.”

Economics has never been a field of scientific research but a ridiculous political wrestling show.#4 Yes, economists in general and Barkley Rosser, in particular, are “guilty guilty guuilty” of bad science a.k.a. political economics a.k.a. sitcom blather.

#4 Economics: A pointless left-right wrestling show said...

Sorry, Egmont, but you are dead wrong. Political economy (not your "political economics") is serious stuff that while certainly deeply involved with policy agendas and advocacy does take seriously scientific economics of both the theoretical and empirical sort, a distinction you do not recognize since you know zero about and ignore emporical and scientific economics, taking seriously actually your own idiosyncratic and vacuousliy tautological theoretical economics.

Now you are right that there are plenty of political economists out there who push agendas and spout fake news against mountains of empirical evidence. A good example back in the spotlight recently is the handful of well-paid advocates of the vulgar version of "supply economics," led by its main founder, Arthur Laffer, who continue to spout after a good l40 years of repeated empirical disproofs of their argument, that cutting income taxes in the US will generate enough revenues to "pay for themselves." Just blatantlyi and screamingly empirically false, something known and accepted by the vast majority of professional economists, including a majority of those who identify themselves in the US as being Republicans.

Note, of course, that in theory if tax rates are high enough the Laffer curve accurately forecasts that a cut in tax rates will increase tax revenues. Best current estimates have the peak of the curve beyond where this happens as being in the 60-70% range in moat nations. Indeed, when Putin came to power in 2000 he increased revenues by introducing a flat 20% income tax to replace a horrendously messed up and complicated tax system that actually involved tax rates in certain locales exceeding 100%. in the case of the original 1981 Reagan tax cut Laffer forecast would raise revenues, revenues from the top group looking at 70% marginal tax rates did rise, about 2% of the population, but they fell for all other groups. But Laffer was out there again being wrong claiming the Trump tax cuts of last year would "pay for themselves." Very few other economists agreed, and indeed we were all right as the US budget deficit has soared.

Yeah, I know one hell of a lot about Saudi Arabia, but deal with it, Egmont, this does not mean that I do not know any serious economics. I know a hell of a lot more than you do. Deal with it.

I do not claim expertise of the family life of the House of Sa’ud but I have seen some Inspector Clouseau movies.

Roughly speaking, the Khashoggi story contains some rather improbable elements. For example

• MbS calls his chief of special operations on the phone and tells him to get rid of Khashoggi. No real-world ruler would do this because he knows that his phone is wiretapped. Instead, he would write his order on a piece of digestible paper which his chief of special operations must eat after reading. After all, the supreme principle of statecraft since Machiavelli is plausible deniability.

• The chief of special operations has learned as rule No 1: only idiots carry out an assassination in an embassy of their own country. Rule No 2: make sure that no CCTV photo of your own surveillance system that shows the target person entering your own embassy is ever published in the media.

• It is pure dilettantism to let your colleagues from the other side take live audio/video recordings of how the target person is cut into pieces.

In view of the utter improbability of the whole story your verdict “He [MbS] is guilty guilty guuilty” seems to be a bit hasty. Which tells everyone that your foreign policy competence is even worse than your economics competence.

Who could have imagined that this would be possible?

Egmont Kakarot-Handtke said...

Indeed, Egmont, one of the reasons all US senators want MbS out is that he a completely incompetent loose cannon. He has botched all sorts of things, being a young power mad fool. His war in Yemen is a disaster, his boycott of Qatar has been a failure, his attempt to remove Hariri in Lebanon was a botch, he failed to get an IPO for ARMACO. He did manage to let women drive in KSA finally, but this assassinatino of Khashoggi has clearly been another thing just completely incompetently managed.

It is an old observation that what might be explained by a conspiracy theory is more oftn simply explained by sheer stupidity and incompetence of which there is simply huge amounts of going around out there.

In my post of June 29, 2017, I wrote: “Your true competence has always been insightful comments on the sex life of the House of Sa’ud and other celebrities as demonstrated in … ‘Muhammed Bin Nayef Bin Abdulaziz Al Sa’ud Confined To His Palace’.”#1

On Oct 18, 2018, you demanded: “MBS Must Go”#2 and upon my critique that your comment has nothing to do with economics you answered: “You have been repeatedly lectured on how totally inappropriate your complaints that sometimes people here write specifically about politics or other non-economics issues. We can and do write about what we want to and always have. There is no rule or law that says we cannot, and you declaring that we should not or cannot just mskes you look like the totslly worthless arrogant asshole that you are.”

On Nov 27, 2018, you complained: “Trump More Seriously Kowtows To MbS”#3

On Dec 14, 2018, you jubilated: “100 Percent Of US Senate Against MbS.”#4

Apart from my longstanding methodological reprimand that foreign policy is NOT the subject matter of economists but heavily distracts from the main and still unfinished task to explain how the economy works, I wonder why you are so obsessed with this “worthless and ddisgusting and degraded” MbS who tramples all conventions about the proper treatment of journalists underfoot: “Mr. Khashoggi was dead within minutes, beheaded, dismembered, his fingers severed, and within two hours the killers were gone, according to details from audio recordings described by a senior Turkish official on Wednesday.” (NYT)

This is NOT the stuff for highly sensitive economists. Wouldn’t it be much more rewarding for you and your academic colleagues to do some scientific homework and to figure out what profit is?#5

In Zero Hedge I read today: “Khashoggi has wrongly been presented by liberal western media as a sort of hero wanting to liberate his own country from the savagery of its Saudi elite. Conveniently, for leftish journals like the Washington Post this ticks a number of boxes, not least of all how it portrays Trump’s key ally in the Middle East ― the house of Saud ― as a brutal dictatorship. But you couldn’t find a better example of the personification of a fake news operative, who wasn’t even a journalist, than Jamal Khashoggi. The 59-year old columnist, we now know, was planning to create an opposition movement which would overthrow the Saudi rulers, the same rulers who paid him handsomely for over 30 years as one of their own ‘journalists’. He was a Muslim Brotherhood acolyte who was on the Qatari payroll, managed by an American lady, who assisted him with his vociferous, if not spiteful, attacks on Mohammad bin Salman. Khashoggi had big plans, with the help of Qatar, to bring down the House of Saud and he wasn’t particularly bothered about abusing the trust of that 30-year friendship, which trusted him and shared information with him.”

Provided that this is not also disinformation, it confirms my long-standing impression that, in addition to your proven economics incompetence#2, you are NOT qualified as foreign policy analyst/journalist either.

Fears of 'full-scale war' as 50 killed

12 May 2021, MVT 15:01

12 May 2021, MVT 15:01

Relentless rocket fire and rioting in mixed Jewish-Arab towns fuelled growing fears Wednesday that violence between Israel and Palestinians that has claimed 50 lives could spiral into "full-scale war".

Palestinian militants have launched more than 1,000 rockets since Monday, said Israel's army, which has launched hundreds of air strikes on Hamas and other Islamist groups in the crowded costal enclave of Gaza.

The most intense hostilities in seven years have killed at least 43 people in Gaza, including 13 children, two Palestinians in the West Bank, and five Israelis, triggered by weekend unrest at Jerusalem's Al-Aqsa mosque compound, which is sacred to both Muslims and Jews.

As world powers voiced growing alarm and the UN Security Council readied for another emergency meeting on the bloody crisis, the UN Middle East envoy Tor Wennesland warned that "we're escalating towards a full-scale war".

"Leaders on all sides have to take the responsibility of de-escalation," he said, echoing warnings from the international community.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared a state of emergency in the mixed Jewish-Arab Israeli city of Lod, where police said "wide-scale riots erupted among some of the Arab residents".

There were fears of widening civil unrest as protesters waving Palestinian flags burnt cars and properties, clashed with Israeli police and attacked Jewish motorists in several mixed Jewish-Arab towns across Israel.

Palestinian groups, mostly Hamas and Islamic Jihad, have launched more than 1,000 rockets, Israel's army said, including hundreds at Tel Aviv, where air sirens wailed overnight.

Of these, 850 rockets have hit in Israel or been intercepted by Israel's Iron Dome air defence system, while the rest have crashed inside Gaza, he said.

Israel has launched hundreds of air strikes at Gaza, the Israeli-blockaded coastal enclave of two million people that Hamas controls, targeting what the army described as Palestinian military sites.

Aside from the mounting death toll, at least 230 Palestinians were wounded, many rescued from the smouldering ruins of buildings. On the Israeli side, more than 100 people have been injured, as residents across the Jewish state have been ordered to seek shelter.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday urged Israel and the Palestinians to "step back from the brink", calling for both sides to "show restraint".
