Nightclub Manager Under Fire For BANNING Muslims… Here's His EPIC Response
A Danish nightclub boss who recently decided to ban all non-Danish, English or German-speaking migrants has been under fire from critics for targeting Muslims and could possibly face prosecution.
Tom Holden Jensen, the Buddy Holly club manager, made the decision after several incidents involving migrants from Syria and Afghanistan inappropriately touching female club-goers.
The decision could lead to Jensen spending as long as six months behind bars for violating Denmark's racial discrimination laws, but the club manager said he would rather go to jail than back down — because "they (the migrants) need to learn a smile isn't an invitation for sex."
Jensen said that several women reported feeling threatened and intimidated by sexually aggressive migrant men who groped and "raped them with hands" on the dance floor of the Søenderborg club, according to the U.K. Daily Mail.
The incidents were worsened by the fact that none of these migrant men could speak Danish, English or German, so security could not explain to the men that their actions were inappropriate and not allowed at the club.
Thus, Jensen determined the best way to protect his female customers was to ban any man who could not speak his languages.
"The challenge we face is that we can't communicate with refugees, they don't understand what I am saying at all," Jensen explained.
Jensen stands by the policy from a business standpoint.
"We reserve the right to operate our business as we have done all the years, also before there was a war in Syria, and we intend to continue that also after the war ends," he said. "And if someone thinks differently they are welcome to try it in court."
Security staff complained to Jensen that they couldn't control the migrant men's inappropriate behavior because the Muslim migrants believe a woman smiling is an invitation for sex — an idea that is clearly not in line with sexual etiquette in Denmark … or the rest of the civilized world.
"We have experienced episodes where Syrians have danced too close to women, occasions when they have put their hands on their bottoms," Jensen told the Daily Mail. "They continued to do so even though the women told them to stop and leave them."
Jensen explained that if they can't verbally explain to these men that their behavior is inappropriate, the confrontation could get physical — something Jensen would rather avoid by simply banning these men from the establishment altogether.
Some critics have called Jensen "racist," but they ignore the fact that this problem is not isolated to just the Buddy Holly club.
The Den Flyvende Hollender ("The Flying Dutchman") has had similar problems with migrant men, and the owner decided that banning them was the right solution.
"A large number of men who come from the asylum centre have a very hard time respecting the opposite sex," owner Glenn Hollender explained.
That's because in radical Islamic cultures from which many of these Muslims come, rape and sexual dominance of women is common and even encouraged.

THIS GENTLEMAN IS TRYING TO RUN A BUSINESS—————THEREFORE
if the problems continue, then its time to take out the trash ——-because either way there will be no " business"
He did the right thing. because
#1—these men have no regards for females
#2—they complain to the government or township about women causing problem
#3—they disagree how females dress
#4–they complain that women get drunk and act like whores …( but we know , they say that about young girls 12 –walking home from school )
#5 will not take jobs connected with liquor
# 6—-will not work, where they cannot pray.
NEED I GO ON , WTH, WHY ARE THEY NOT WHERE THEY BELONG, THAT BUILDING WAS NOT A CHURCH————AND AS REPORTS STATE>>>>>>>…..THESE PEOPLE CANNOT BE HUMAN AROUND FEMALES —————–AND WHEN THEY ARE IN GROUPS, THEY BECOME WORSE………….
THIS GENTLEMAN HAD TO TAKE A STAND, SEEM NOBODY ELSE IS HANDLING THESE IDIOTS ……………………DO NOT-==PLEASE DO NOT FINE HIM OR PLACE HIM IN JAIL…….
HE WAS RIGHT,,
Ogrrre says:
Since muslims are prohibitted from drinking alcohol, why would they even want to go into a night club? As for his not wanting for a confrontation to get physical, perhaps if his bouncers stomped a mudhole in some of these muslim fools, the word would get around not to act up.


Stumped for a holiday gift? Want to add to your t-shirt collection? No, I didn't say T! shirt...I said t-shirt. Well, if you are, check out "friend of Troutrageous" The Freshwater Fly, who is selling t-shirts in the name of Project Healing Waters. Makes a great gift for yourself or a friend while sending some cash to a good cause. But act quick, you only have until December 9th to get in on this action!
If you haven't seen YGF's latest yet, do yourself a favor and click play below. Especially if you're at work right now...I guarantee that it's much more gratifying than practicing mad VLOOKUP skillz on your Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
Hey...anyone notice yesterday's OBN's Quick Fire interview? If you missed it, it was with yours truly. (That means me). Seriously, of all the days for the OBN to get all ambitious on us and decide to write TWO posts (like who does that?), it was yesterday, so my day in the sun was immediately eclipsed by a "Wild Places" writing prompt. F#ckers.
Anyway, to keep to the theme of "quick fire" I tried to the answers very short and to the point, as if I was playing $25,000 (or perhaps $100,000 with inflation) Pyramid or something. I did enough blabbering over at EMBT a month or so ago, so wanted to keep this one tight. If you didn't read it, enjoy.
Now for some blog love...and although I teased it on Facebook about a month back, I don't ever think I gave occasional Troutrageous! guest poster Spurky any love over here. Yeah, Spurky's spread his wings and is writing his own blog called troutnspoons.
When it comes to fishing for small stream trout with lures, Spurky is my Mr. Miyagi, so check out his blog when you get a chance. Oh, and Spurky...if you're reading this...cut out the fishing for a bit and rest up man. No more mini-strokes on the stream, okay? Deal.
To close, I'm off on another business trip later today. Last week was Miami, FL & South Beach, which has to be home to the most tattoo parlors and hookah shops within a 10 block radius in the world.
awww feeling the love! Mwuah! ROTFLOL. Miyagi,eh,don't cast out,tree on,in the training routine! LOL sorry,just had to! Ready for a road trip soon,i hope,well at least i can plan,right? Hehy with the snow coming,Be a perfect time,only this time I'll bring the snow shoes!
They could have posted your quick fire interview on black Friday.
I made the Nibs. I think Sally Field said it best, "you like me, right now, you like me!" thanks for the post good sir.
Thank you Mr Rageous! for again keeping me entertained on a cold gray Wednesday afternoon. This was almost as good as YGF's film. You have some cause for complaint about the interview- I saw the writing prompt, but not your interview. Guess I'll have to go back and check it.
You should file a formal complaint over at the OBN. I hear Joe really (really) likes complaint letters. Totally makes his day!
Very cool video. I have a whole new appreciation for silver and gold.
Ivan's video was ridiculous...such cool stuff! And I'm glad that the Wednesday Nibbles made it back on the air...especially in time to pump your shortly lived interview over at OBN...which was great by the way, thanks for the laughs. Cheers!

Upcoming rom-com stars a plus-sized actress for the first time- or does it?
Actress Rebel Wilson's claim of her being the first plus-sized lead in a rom-com spurs controversy on the internet

Filed under Entertainment, New on tjTODAY, Opinion
White doves flying in a heart formation, coordinated musical numbers at every corner, and kissing the man of your dreams in a red dress under the pouring rain -isn't that just romantic? Upcoming movie Isn't It Romantic starring Rebel Wilson, Liam Hemsworth, and Priyanka Chopra features an aspiring architect waking up after getting a concussion into what seems to be a PG-13 romantic comedy. While promoting her movie on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Aussie actress Rebel Wilson opened up about how it's like to star in a rom-com as a plus-sized woman.
"I had such a ball filming that," said Wilson. "I'm proud to be the first-ever plus-sized girl to be the star of a romantic comedy."
This one line was all it took to start the blazing trail of social media criticism. This comment stirred controversy amongst many people, particularly those who were African-American. Twitter users disagreed with Wilson on her being the first, plus-sized rom-com star, as African-American actresses Queen Latifah and Mo'Nique preceded Wilson in the rom-com industry as plus-sized stars. With Queen Latifah starring in Last Holiday(2006) and Mo'Nique starring in Phat Girlz(2006), Wilson seemed to have overlooked the achievements of other African-American actresses.
Wilson defended her claim by tweeting that it wasn't all that clear if the actresses were plus-sized while filming or if the movie itself could be classified as a rom-com. She basically put the actresses in some kind of a "grey area". This, however, would have been the perfect opportunity for Wilson to correct herself instead of attempting to defend her statement with an inadequate counterargument.
Soon enough, Mo'Nique herself stepped in and directly addressed Wilson on the issue by politely tweeting that she should not be "a part of erasing" her and other women's talent by labeling them as grey areas. Mo'Nique wrote that Wilson should take a moment to get to know the history, which is a quite feasible task for Wilson to do. For years, African-American actors and actresses have been receiving less credit for their hard work and have even been denied equal opportunity to achieve things. This also applies to other ethnic groups, such as Latinos and Asians. It is important for people to be acknowledged for their accomplishments regardless of the color of their skin. It was unfair for a Caucasian actress to feel that it was acceptable to name herself the first plus-sized star of a rom-com, when African-American actresses have reached the same feat before her.
After receiving more criticism from many more internet users, Wilson finally acknowledged her wrongdoing and gave her sincere apologies to not only the public, but also other plus-sized actresses including Mo'Nique, Queen Latifah, Melissa McCarthy, and Ricki Lake. She recognized that she overlooked the hardwork and triumphs of other women by calling it her own.
"To be part of a problem I was hoping I was helping makes it that much more embarrassing & hard to acknowledge," Wilson wrote. "I blocked people on Twitter because I was hurting from the criticism, but those are the people I actually need to hear from more, not less. Again, I am deeply sorry."
I think the lesson from this is that people, including celebrities, will make mistakes that will offend people of various groups, and it is our responsibility to remind them of what's right. Wilson wrongly took the credit for another actress' accomplishments, but in the end, she apologized and made amends, which must have taken courage to do when the whole world was watching.
About the movie as a whole, I think that it would be refreshing to see a rom-com starring a plus sized women once again after many years. Most of what we see on the screen is a woman who meets society's standards of how females should look like(tall and slim) who gets the man in the end with plus-sized women appearing only as a sidekicks.
If this movie turns out to be a big hit, this could mean that producers would be more open to casting women of various sizes in lead roles, just like how Black Panther and To All The Boys I've Loved Before are popular because they star ethnically diverse actors. More viewers could relate to what's being portrayed in the movie.
In the end, Wilson was able to recognize the harm she did by claiming other actress' feats as her own and with the public's help, she brought forth a thoughtful and considerate apology. Let this whole event serve as a reminder that there are people out there who have been wronged by people taking credit for their accomplishments and it's up to ordinary people like you and me to prevent that from happening. This movie is definitely worth a watch whether it's if you want to see something new show up on screen or if you're just a die-hard fan of romantic comedies.

Comic Review: Emily and the Strangers: Breaking the Record #3
By kelseyr713 September 5, 2014 breaking the record buzz parker cat farris comics emily and the strangers emily the strange mariah huehner Review rob reger
Read my reviews of EatS1 and EatS2.
Emily and the Strangers: Breaking the Record #3 came out on August 27 and I just got to read it yesterday. This has been an awesome three-part mini-series. In the last issue, the guitar God inspired the band to write songs about the predicament the cats are in to reveal the true nature of the record label, but Crawly, the villain of our tale, revealed that if the band doesn't sign the contract within 24 hours, the magic guitar gets taken away. In issue #3, the band decides to break into Awesomely Awesome, the record company, to snoop around and see if they can find the connection between them and Kute Kitties.
In this issue, the art is even more stylized than it has been in the previous two. There's some really nice full-page panels too, which I always love to see. The humor continues to be clever and giggle-inducing, and the dialogue is believable for the age the (precocious) characters are. It's also not afraid to poke at the fourth wall a bit, which is one of my favorite devices in fiction.
The ending is somewhat satisfying – one plot thread is resolved, but there's absolutely an opening for another mini-series. I hope Emily and the Strangers continues!
"The people responsible for the stray cat population explosion have been revealed, but can Emily and the Strangers stop the plot and find homes for these cats? And will they be able to put aside their differences and record an out-of-this-world album, all while playing detective on the kitty case? It's gonna come down to the wire in the rocking conclusion to Breaking the Record!"

KEY WEST, Florida Keys — Several thousand of singer/songwriter/author Jimmy Buffett's "Parrot Head" fans are to flock to Key West Thursday through Sunday, Nov. 1-4, for the their annual convention. Titled "Another Trip Around the Sun" after Buffett's 2004 duet with Martina McBride, the gathering celebrates his music and laidback lifestyle on the island credited with inspiring much of both.
A former Key West resident, Buffett flavored classic songs with mentions of local landmarks including Fausto's Food Palace and the Blue Heaven Restaurant, and characters like former mayor Captain Tony Tarracino and "pirate" Phil Clark. In the mid-1980s, he founded the original Margaritaville Store in the island city.
Events planned for the Parrot Heads' 2012 convention include waterfront musical performances, charity auctions and raffles, a street festival and concert, the "TropRock" Music Awards and an oceanfront "Beach Bash" at the Casa Marina Resort, 1500 Reynolds St.
The 2012 convention's scheduled headliner is renowned Texas singer/songwriter Robert Earl Keen, performing a private Saturday night concert on the Casa Marina's oceanfront lawn. Other featured performers include regional and Parrot Head favorites Homemade Wine, Howard Livingston & the Mile Marker 24 Band, Jerry Diaz and John Frinzi & Friends.
Most events are open only to registered Parrot Heads, but everyone is welcome at the Margaritaville Street Fest set for 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 2, at Duval and Fleming streets. Entertainment is to be provided by Jim Morris & the Big Bamboo Band and Michael Armstrong & The Key West Band.
As well as Buffett's music and lifestyle, Parrot Heads embrace charitable, environmental, educational and humanitarian activities. Since 2002, members of the more than 200 national and international Parrot Head chapters have contributed $26.2 million and nearly 2.9 million volunteer hours to local and national charities.

Jason van Rassel events, places Alberta Beer Awards, cask ale, Kettle Valley Station Pub, Murderers Row, Okanagan Fest of Ale, Penticton
(In keeping with my commitment to transparency, a note about my relationship with the Okanagan Fest of Ale: as a member of the judging panel, festival organizers have paid for my accommodations in Penticton and a portion of my travel to the event.)
It looks like winter has finally released Alberta from its icy grip, judging by the double-digit temperatures and sunshine across the province last week.
You might think it folly for me to recommend a warmer-weather getaway to B.C. when spring has seemingly arrived in Alberta, but I've lived in this province for more than 20 years: I know from experience that April can produce some of the nastiest, snowiest weather of the year — particularly in Calgary. (And frankly, I'm amazed how even longtime Albertans forget this.)
So if you're craving green grass, budding foliage and some sunshine with your beer, head to Penticton for the 24th edition of the Okanagan Fest of Ale on April 12 and 13.
I've had the privilege of being invited to the festival as a competition judge for the past four years and excited to return in a few weeks for a fifth go-round. During my time at the Fest of Ale, I've seen the quantity and quality of breweries continue to grow. This year's festival at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre will feature an event-high 75 breweries and cideries — 19 of which are attending for the first time.
Alberta's craft beer industry has grown rapidly over the past few years, and the results of this year's Alberta Beer Awards demonstrate we have a lot to be proud of here in Wild Rose country. But there's a great big beery world beyond our borders, and the province next door is the home of Canada's craft brewing trailblazers as well as some of the country's most innovative newcomers. While it's true we're seeing more B.C. beer than ever in Alberta, the Fest of Ale lineup still includes many breweries that don't ship to our province. Even among the breweries that do make their way here, the Fest of Ale is a good opportunity to sample limited releases that aren't available in Alberta.
I may push springtime in the Okanagan as a reason to make the trip to Penticton, but I can't exactly guarantee the weather will be good. One selling point I do feel 100 per cent confident about, however, is the Fest of Ale's community vibe.
Line-ups at booths are fairly manageable, which gives brewers and guests more of an opportunity to talk about the beer than you often get at larger fests. And unlike some larger events, many of the booths are staffed by brewers and brewery employees who can talk knowledgeably about the beer they're pouring, as opposed to hired guns brought in to sling beer and not much else. Being a beer writer from out of province has given me the opportunity to field test this claim a few times: unlike many of the other judges, who are from B.C., most exhibitors don't know me, so I'm confident the treatment I get closely mirrors the experience for a typical festival goer.
The Fest of Ale began as an event to kick off the spring tourism season in Penticton and boost the local economy. Although there's no doubt the fest continues to fulfill those roles, it now takes place amid a bigger and more vibrant backdrop than two decades ago. With five local breweries and two more opening soon, Penticton's dynamic local beer scene earned it a #2 spot on a list of Canada's best beer towns published by the travel site Expedia.ca. Festival weekend has also come to include a growing list of beer events happening around town, perhaps none more popular than Saturday night's Murderers Row cask event at the Kettle Valley Station Pub. The event's Facebook page has more details and a list of the 17 breweries participating this year, as well as ticket info — which is important, because it usually sells out well in advance.
Keep an eye on this site for official judging results on the afternoon of April 13, plus I'll have photos and updates on Original Levity's Twitter and Instagram feeds throughout the weekend.
#ABbeer roadtrip: Blindman Brewing
Jason van Rassel places Avenue Calgary, Avenue Edmonton, Berliner weisse, Blindman Brewing, CJSW, foeder, Hans Doef, koelschip, Lacombe, lactobacillus, Palgary Almanac, saison, Shane Groendahl, taproom
I'm a big fan of hitting the road to visit the many craft breweries scattered throughout Alberta. Such is my belief in the province's rural beer bounty, that I devoted an article to the subject in the feature coverage of the Alberta Beer Awards I wrote for the Edmonton and Calgary editions of Avenue magazine earlier this year.
A couple of weeks ago, I was extolling the virtues of small-town breweries during a segment on the Palgary Almanac, a show on Calgary's campus radio station, CJSW, when it struck me: it had been awhile since I'd visited a brewery outside Calgary or Edmonton.
Because it's our first year living full-time in Edmonton, my wife Lea and I decided to largely stick around this summer to get to know our new city and its environs. With some time off for the both of us last week, we decided to visit Lacombe and Blindman Brewing.
If you're a craft beer drinker in Alberta, you've likely heard of Blindman and you're familiar with its beer. But visiting a brewery offers so much more: it's not only a chance to spend an enjoyable day exploring new places, it's an opportunity to learn a bit more about the beer you're drinking and the people who make it. A couple of the owners, Hans Doef and Shane Groendahl, were at the brewery the day we visited and both were happy to take a few minutes from their work to chat about what's been going on. Now, I've met both guys on several occasions and Hans saw me come in, but my experience is you don't have to be a beer writer to experience this kind of hospitality. I make a point of visiting taprooms anonymously and/or unannounced, as a paying customer, and I've received the same kind of warm welcome just about every time. Beer people are passionate about what they do and they're often eager to talk to people who share that passion.
Berliner weisse (left) and strawberry-basil kombucha. My wife Lea doesn't drink beer so we always appreciate taprooms that offer a variety of alternatives.
The more obvious attraction, of course, is the beer. While it's always rewarding to try familiar beers fresh and straight from the source, it's also an opportunity to try small-batch beers that are either exclusive to the brewery or packaged in limited amounts. During our visit, Blindman's taproom had all four seasonal variations of Saison Lacombe on tap, as well as a Berliner weisse — a tart, low-alcohol wheat beer that's a great choice for the summer. Fruit additions are common in Berliners, either by putting it in the beer itself or via a flavoured syrup at serving time. Blindman is offering its Berliner with raspberry and passionfruit flavouring. I opted for passionfruit: it complemented the style's characteristic tartness and mild acidity (which comes from the addition of lactobacillus bacteria to the wort) but the overall impression was bright and refreshing.
Speaking of summer, Blindman's taproom has not one, but two, patios for enjoying your beer al fresco: one adjacent to the parking lot out front, and a recently-opened deck accessed from a second-floor mezzanine inside.
Salut, Jean! Y'a tu d'la bière icitte?
Keep an eye on Blindman as it expands its work with sour beers, wild yeast strains and various microbiota that go into making complex and unique beers. The brewery recently bought two oaken foeders used to age cognac, which the guys call Jean and Pierre, after a French cooper named Jean-Pierre who repurposed the vessels for making beer. Blindman is also starting to experiment with a koelschip, a traditional broad, shallow vessel that promotes spontaneous fermentation by allowing wild, airborne yeast strains to inoculate the beer as it cools off. (I have more about Blindman's koelschip program, as well as other breweries working on sour beers in the August issue of Avenue Edmonton. Read it here, or pick up a copy of the magazine at various locations around the city.)
Alberta Craft Beer Guide launches in Ponoka
Jason van Rassel events, news, places Alberta Craft Beer Guide, Blind Enthusiasm Brewing, Erica Francis, Ponoka, Ribstone Creek Brewery, Siding 14 Brewing
The makers of the Alberta Craft Beer Guide hit the road on Sunday to launch the Summer 2018 edition at Siding 14 Brewery in Ponoka.
Launch parties have been customary for each new issue of the guide since it debuted in 2016, but they've always been held in Calgary or Edmonton. With so many new breweries popping up all over the province – and featured in the guide — editor Erica Francis said the time is right to take the show on the road.
"There's so much more to Alberta than the two major centres," she said.
There will be rural events to launch future issues of the guide, but if you live in Calgary or Edmonton, don't despair: there will continue to be launch parties in the city, too. Blind Enthusiasm Brewing in Edmonton is hosting a launch party for Summer 2018 issue on June 6, from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The Summer 2018 edition encourages readers, too, to hit the road. There's a "Tour-ery Passport" page to collect stamps by visiting breweries around the provinces. Participants can email photos of their stamped passport to the guide to enter a special draw for a beer-related prize package. There's also a profile of Ribstone Creek Brewery and an article by beer writer and educator David Nuttall on the importance — and benefits — of having local breweries.
The guide is available throughout the province, in places where you find Alberta craft beer.
Getting set for the Okanagan Fest of Ale
Jason van Rassel events, places B.C. Ale Trail, Crannog Ales, Four Winds Brewing, Moon Brewery & Pub, Okanagan Fest of Ale, Penticton, Twin Sails Brewing, wine, Yellow Dog Brewing
For the fourth year in a row, I'm looking forward to heading to Penticton to take part in judging at the Okanagan Fest of Ale.
With this year's edition of the fest getting underway Friday evening, I launched Original Levity a bit late to put it on the radar screen of Albertans who might normally be amenable to spending a weekend drinking beer in the sunny Okanagan. Consider yourselves duly notified of next year's event. (And maybe by then, Alberta and B.C. will have stopped fighting, too.)
Why should you go? Well, other than the "drinking beer in the sunny Okanagan" part, the festival is an opportunity to sample beers from some great B.C. breweries we don't see in Alberta – and get a sneak peek of the latest up-and-comers that may be headed our way. In past years, I've had my first exposure to beers from Twin Sails, Yellow Dog and Four Winds at the Fest of Ale. It's also an opportunity to get to know (or get reacquainted) with many B.C. mainstays don't distribute widely outside their immediate areas, like Victoria's Moon Under Water and Crannog Ales in Sorrento.
The roster at this year's festival (the 23rd) includes 69 breweries and cideries pouring nearly 200 different products for people to sample. The number of exhibitors gets bigger every year, but the ticket sales have remained capped at around 5,000, which keeps line-ups at booths fairly manageable and gives brewers and guests more of an opportunity to talk about the beer than you see at larger fests.
The Fest of Ale started as an event meant to kick off the spring tourism season in Penticton and the founders wanted it to complement, rather than draw from, the region's attractions. The event wraps up at 6 p.m. on Saturday, leaving a good chunk of the weekend for visitors to do other things. If you're still in beer mode, Penticton has become a destination in its own right on the B.C. Ale Trail with five local breweries. (I hear there's wine in the Okanagan, too, if you're into that sort of thing.)
Follow Original Levity on Twitter and Instagram for photos and updates from Penticton throughout the weekend.
Postscript — In keeping with my commitment to transparency, a note about my relationship with the Okanagan Fest of Ale: as a member of the judging panel, festival organizers have paid for my accommodations in Penticton and a portion of my travel to the event.


US President Donald Trump told a group of American Jews that Benjamin Netanyahu was "your prime minister" Saturday, appearing to conflate Jews and Israelis.
"I stood with your prime minister at the White House to recognize Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights," Trump told a meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition in Las Vegas Saturday, referring to Netanyahu, who is the prime minister of Israel.
While many US Jews are generally supportive of Israel, they have consistently rejected accusations of dual loyalty toward the Jewish state, typically seen as an anti-Semitic canard.
Trump still seems to think that he's speaking to a group of Israelis.
Trump's comments came as he accused Democrats of allowing anti-Semitism to "take root" in their party.
He made fun of Representative Ilhan Omar, who came under fire earlier this year for comments appearing to accuse Jews of dual loyalty to Israel, spurring Trump to claim last month that Democrats "hate" Jews.
He also appeared to confuse the Republican group with US Jews in general when he asked how they could have supported his predecessor Barack Obama.
American Jews have traditionally voted Democrat, and overwhelmingly backed Obama in 2008 and 2012.
According to AP Votecast, a survey of more than 115,000 midterm voters and 3,500 Jewish voters nationwide, voters who identified as Jewish broke for Democrats over Republicans by a wide margin, 72 percent to 26 percent, in 2018.
Over the past decade, Jewish voters have shown stability in their partisanship, according to data from Pew Research Center. Jewish voters identify with or lean toward the Democratic Party over the Republican Party by a roughly 2-1 ratio.
Trump has stirred controversy at the RJC convention in the past.

Although The Robe was released in 1953, this Poster is for the 1964 re-release of the Film. The success of the 1963 Film "Cleopatra" starring both Richard Burton & Elizabeth Taylor (& their ensuing love affair) meant that Film Distributors were eager to cash-in, hence the re-release of Burton's Biblical epic from a decade earlier. Unlike the '53 Poster, Chantrell's '64 version, focuses solely on Burton, Victor Mature & Jean Simmons being relegated to the background on the later Poster. This Poster has a single vertical foldline & some old sellotape repairs to the reverse (the longest being 2").


A Melbourne university student is one of eight young designers from around the world to be chosen as a finalist in the 9th Electrolux Design Lab competition. The handful of finalists were select from more than a thousand entrants.
The annual competition asks young and upcoming designers to develop ideas for future appliances, with concepts submitted this year to reflect the theme of "Intelligent Mobility".
Hailing from Monash University in Victoria, Australian finalist Enzo Kocak came up with the Ribbon (above), a multi-purpose heater and cooler. The flexible device could be wrapped around pots for heating or around drinks for cooling.
Ideas presented by the other finalists include a portable microwave, a mobile induction heat plate controlled by a smartphone, and even a bagel toaster.
Finland's Mobile Induction Heat Plate, designed by Tommi Moilanen.
The entries will be shown to a panel of leading designers in September, with the winner being awarded an internship at the Electrolux global design centre and a cash prize.
Whether the winning appliance ideas will ever appear on retails shelves is anyone's guess, but we can sure hope.
Canadian entrant Kent Madden came up with the Salvé Bagel Toaster.

After only playing in 17 games during the 2013 season, Derek Jeter, also known as "The Captain", announced he will be retiring at the end of the 2014 Major League Baseball season.
The 39 year-old shortstop will have played 20 years in the majors at the conclusion of the 2014 season, all with the New York Yankees.
He is a 5-time World Series Champion, 5-time Gold Glove Award winner, 5-time Silver Slugger Award winner, and 13-time All-star. No matter the outcome of this season Jeter will go down in history as one of the best to ever play to the game.
The media has already fallen in love with this story. The moment the announcement hit his Facebook page every sports writer and analyst in the business already had something to say about it.
One might wonder though, why the massive amount of coverage so early? Baseball season hasn't even started yet and great players retire every year with much less coverage on the subject even during the season.
My answer to those asking that question simply put is, "The Captain". Derek Jeter is not only one of the greats to play the game for the New York Yankees, he is their captain, their go to man, their leader, their rock, and he has been for the past several years. When you think New York Yankee baseball, you think Derek Jeter.
This year when Derek Jeter takes the field for his last season he will be wearing the pinstripes of the New York Yankees, just as he has done for all 19 previous years of his career. That is almost unheard of in the world of baseball today. That is why he is "The Captain" and deserves every ounce of media coverage he receives. He plays the game the way it should be played, period.
With all the attention the media has already given this story I think it safe to say we will be seeing a lot more of it all season long, and I am just fine with that.

Pedro Sánchez at UN: Spain has "not let itself be radicalized by xenophobia"
Spanish PM defends diversity and legal immigration in his first speech at the global summit in New York

Speaking at the United Nations General Assembly in New York City on Thursday, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez defended multilateralism, diversity and legal immigration, underscoring that Spain is one of the few European countries without an openly xenophobic party sitting in parliament.
"Spain has suffered the blows of the economic crisis like few other countries in Europe. Yet despite this, the vast majority of Spanish society has never turned its back on the dramatic reality of immigration," said Sánchez, of the Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE), in his first speech before the annual gathering of global leaders. His predecessor, Mariano Rajoy of the Popular Party (PP), had not appeared at the world forum over the last four years.
Today, a veil of collective amnesia extends over the memory of what we are: pure diversity
Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez
"I feel proud of a society that has not allowed itself to get radicalized by a xenophobic rhetoric based on fear of the other," added Sánchez. Asked several times during his trip to New York why racism has not taken hold in Spain as much as it has in Italy or France, the prime minister said that it is "because we were once a nation of emigrants, and also of refugees."
The Spanish leader said his country welcomes the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration that will be signed in Marrakech, Morocco in December, and listed the measures he sees as essential to combat the rise of xenophobia. "Investing in education and in youth, adopting an integrating approach to the immigration issue, giving the media the tools to fight hate speech, and combating stereotypes are all essential," he said.

Sánchez used New York as an example, describing it as "a city that saw millions of human beings arrive here, fleeing poverty and ideological or religious persecution, most of them Europeans. Today, a veil of collective amnesia extends over the memory of what we are: pure diversity."
The Spanish leader also spoke against the discrimination of women, and said that 60% of the members of his own government are female "because we want to lead by example."
Sánchez ended his address with a line by the Spanish poet León Felipe: "Lo que importa no es llegar solos y los primeros, sino llegar todos juntos y a tiempo" (or, "The important thing is not to get there first and alone, but to get there all together and in time").

The budget for the first Transformers spinoff movie Bumblebee will reportedly be about one-third of that spent on Transformers: The Last Knight. Without question the Michael Bay-directed Transformers live-action movie franchise has been a lucrative one for Paramount Pictures, earning more than $3.7 billion worldwide in the first four films. The most recent outing in the franchise, however, Transformers: The Last Knight, has stumbled in comparison, earning $517 million in its first four weeks. In all likelihood, The Last Knight will end up being the lowest global grosser of the five Transformers films, behind the $709 million the first film took in worldwide in 2007.
Whether it's in response to cutting costs following the disappointing returns for The Last Knight or merely it's the execution of a lower-budget plan it had all along, director Travis Knight will apparently have a lot less money to work with on Bumblebee than Bay ever has for the Transformers films.
While the budget is far slimmer for the Bumblebee solo movie than The Last Knight, fans shouldn't have to fret about the quality of the film. Yes, audiences should expect a dramatically different big screen interpretation of the iconic Hasbro action figure when the film goes into production next month, mainly because it is set in the 1980s and Bumblebee will be the sole focus of the film – meaning a lot less money will likely be spent on visual effects. Paramount will also be saving big money, too, by casting the likes of Hailee Steinfeld and relative newcomer Jorge Lendeborg Jr. over A-listers like Mark Wahlberg and Anthony Hopkins, and Knight surely will command a smaller director's fee than Bay ever did.
Fans, actually, may quickly embrace Knight's new vision, considering he was the creative force behind the Oscar-nominated Laika stop-motion feature Kubo and the Two Strings. After all, Knight did a lot more from a narrative standpoint in Kubo than Bay did in The Last Knight, and for a lot less money – and Kubo earned Oscar nominations for Best Animated Feature and Best Visual Effects, to boot. Perhaps Bumblebee will turn out to be not only the cheapest, but also the best Transformers movie so far.


What can we say about this fab party? We had the BEST time doing this one. Ollie's mom was great to work with because she had fantastic ideas that we were excited to bring to life.
When guests entered, they saw this 3-foot dinosaur inflatable with a party hat on, holding balloons and standing beside a cute sign. We created dig cards and paleontologist badges for each guest, with jute favor bags filled with all sorts of goodies prepared by our client. We even handmade dino party hats for each little guest. Upon entering, they can see all of these laid out on a table that had this really awesome centerpiece that mixed great material like wood and metal.
Since we can't do the party outdoors, we brought a semblance of the outdoors inside. We did a grass backdrop with Ollie's name in 3D letters. The table has wooden crates and risers, log platters and bowls, and all sorts of creative and yummy desserts. The birthday cake done by Cuppacake was this genius hatching dinosaur egg. We had cute cake cups with little dinos grazing on chocolate dirt, white chocolate and oreo mini donuts, salted caramel cupcakes with 2D dino toppers, and mini fruit cups with these custom designed dinosaur stickers. Plus those cookies by The Little Whisk were amazing. We also used this amazing wooden bowl filled with chocolate rocks, dinosaur eggs and dinosaur scales (i.e. white chocolate covered pretzels and chips) and put this at a lower height so the kids can easily get to them. And we had dinosaur inflatables which we made more festive by giving them handmade dino party hats!
For the kiddie tables, we did fun dinosaur playscapes which kept eating children entertained (and tired parents happy) busy.
Ollie's mom made this whole outdoor area fun with a digging activity complete with sand table and homemade dinosaur eggs the kids can break and smash to find dinosaur fossils . They can even piece different dinosaur bones together like a real paleontologist.
We added to this area by making fun signage around the area. We also made an organic balloon garland frame with more fun dinosaur inflatables in party gear for people who wanted to take a quick snap.

Eric Bosco Named Chief Product Officer At Nielsen Global Media
New York, NY – Feb. 6, 2020 – Nielsen Holdings plc (NYSE: NLSN) announced today that Eric Bosco will join the company as Chief Product Officer (CPO) for its Global Media division, effective Feb. 10, 2020.
As head of Nielsen Global Media's product organization, Bosco will spearhead product strategy and execution and will be responsible for every element of the division's product framework with emphasis on designing and creating scalable products to serve Nielsen's clients and the media industry. A central part of Bosco's role will be shepherding a unified product strategy that aligns with Nielsen's unified technology and data framework.
With media buyers and sellers increasingly leaning into cross-platform strategies to reach and monetize audiences in new and opportunistic ways, Bosco's deep knowledge in product leadership will be instrumental in Nielsen's commitment to serve as the one media truth for the industry.
Most recently, Bosco served as VP, Product and Design for TripAdvisor Experiences, where he led a global product and design organization with teams in various locations across North America, Australia and Europe. Over the past 20 years, he has worked as General Manager of SmarterTravel, CEO and COO of ChoiceStream and as Head of Advertising Products of AOL.

Pontiacs forward Tamburro commits to Colgate University
Michael Menzies December 29, 2021	Pontiacs, Sports
The Bonnyville Pontiacs announced another member of their team has committed to an NCAA Division I school on Wednesday.
Sebastian Tamburro will be going to Colgate University in the 2023-24 season once his junior career finishes. The 2002-born Toronto product currently leads the team with 39 points in 36 games.
"Sebastian Tamburro is our team's top scorer and he is not only one of the very best skaters in the Alberta Junior Hockey League, he is an exceptional human being as well," said Head Coach and General Manager Rick Swan in a press release on Wednesday.
"Tambo has made an immediate impact in our locker room and in our community and represents what a Bonnyville Pontiac is all about. He needed the right situation, along with the right belief, and Sebastian coming to Bonnyville was a perfect fit for him to develop. In saying that, his ceiling is high and he will continue to grow as a player and person. Colgate has a 'top drawer program' which allowed former Pontiac and current Toronto Marlies forward Bobby McMann to excel academically as well as a player."
Tamburro becomes the sixth Pontiac on this season's roster committed to an NCAA Division I school joining A.J. Macaulay (Alaska-Fairbanks), Will Hilfiker (Alaska-Fairbanks), Kash Rasmussen (Michigan Tech), Alex Power (Quinnipiac) and Nick Traggio (Brown).
Sebastian Tamburro becomes the 101st player who suited up for the Pontiacs since 2013/14 to commit to play at the college/university level.
"I would like to thank my friends and my family who helped me through my journey," said Tamburro in the release.
"I would also like to thank the Pontiacs coaching staff for believing in me and helping me achieve my dream of obtaining an NCAA commitment. Colgate is an excellent school and I am looking forward to helping them achieve success, after I do everything I can to bring us closer to a championship for the Town of Bonnyville," he said.
The Bonnyville Pontiacs take on the Lloyd Bobcats tonight at 7:30pm on the road, before coming back home on Thursday night to their rivals at 7pm.

New generation of steel-plastic enclosures RZA, OEZ s.r.o.
For tens of years OEZ is a reliable choice in selection of Minia modular devices, i.e. protective and control devices for building, residential or similar installations. The DistriTon enclosures provide a suitable base for the production of distribution boards.
At present we launch a new generation of steel-plastic enclosures RZA, which will replace the original product.
The new RZA enclosures not only fully replace the original RZA, but with their properties and wholly new structural elements they improve the level of comfort in installation of distribution boards.
The series of RZA enclosures consists of 4 sizes - one, two, three and four-row. On each row it is possible to mount up to 14 modules side by side. The biggest size, i.e. 4-row one, holds up to 56 modules, and, even fully occupied by modular devices it still offers sufficient space for inlet and outlet conductors.
Inside the enclosure, the distribution board manufacturers will find comfort place for wiring of PE and N conductors to terminal blocks, even in case of use of the interconnecting busbar in upper terminals of modular devices.
Conductor laying along the height of the base creates sufficient space on the sides of the enclosure equipped with mounts.
The spacing of individual rows increased by 10 mm, i.e. 135 mm, offers easier connection of conductors to the terminals of modular devices.
The front design of original RZA, popular among customers, has been preserved for the new enclosures. The sheet frame and door protrude only 7 mm from the wall, and are fully flat. The closing system is flush-mounted and covered by a lever, which serves for door unlocking and also as a handle for their opening.
Under this lever it is also possible to place a lock (accessories).
RZA enclosures are completely equipped for installation of modular devices already in the basic package. The enclosures consist of several parts, which can be easily separated from each other. For instance, the distribution board manufacturer can separate the base and hand it over to the site for embedding. The other parts can be stored in a paper box and remain clean.
The basic package of RZA contains not only the enclosure components such as the base, removable frame with "U" rails, front cover, frame with the door, but also main PE and N terminal blocks, additional terminal block for connection of N conductors after the residual current circuit breaker, and blind plates. In addition, mounting anchors for walls, two water levels (front and rear) for easier installation of the base in the wall, and a reinforcement, which prevents from the base deflection in its embedding by means of a mounting foam.
The new RZA enclosures are already sold. Contact your seller.

OTJ: A Short History of the Trombone

The Church Music Traditions
King David in the Temple
Pieter Lastmann (1618)
(2.1)	Trombones have been used in worship, both in Roman Catholic and Protestant churches, for centuries, although certainly less nowadays than in previous centuries. But for more than half of church history, the thought of trombones and other wind instruments met with great disapproval. For one thing, instrumental musicians were homeless vagrants throughout antiquity and most of the Middle Ages, and generally considered immoral people by everyone else. As mentioned in The Alta Band Tradition (1.4), musicians began to settle into respectability in the late Middle Ages. Among other things, they began to take part in religious dramas and religious processions.
(2.2)	There is a part of the mass, the Elevation of the Host, that became especially important in the late Middle Ages, but being of more recent origin than most of the liturgy, there was no text associated with it. Organs became acceptable church instruments in the thirteenth century and played during the Elevation. Perhaps because of their association with mystery plays, trumpets occasionally played during the Elevation at some important churches where royalty worshiped. This practice is attested as early as 1389. Little by little, other instruments found their way into church services, and at other times besides the Elevation, usually for special feasts. There may have even been some instances of slide trumpet solos in the liturgy, although that is controversial. See Flashes in the Pan (8.2).
(2.3)	By the beginning of the sixteenth century, churches all over Europe occasionally hired the town band or the local court band for special occasions. In 1526, leaders of the cathedral in Seville were using instruments so often that they decided it would be better for them to hire their own permanent band: three shawms and two trombones. By the middle of the century, church bands were commonplace. Early in the century, the bands alternated with the singers, just as the organ had long done. Eventually the organ and the bands began to accompany (that is, double) the singers.
(2.4)	The early Baroque saw the beginning of independent instrumental parts. In other words, instead of playing the same music as the choir either in alternation or doubling them, the band (which by then included violins) had its own separate accompaniment. Two important centers of this new concerted mass were San Marco in Venice and San Petronio in Bologna. The music of Giovanni Gabrieli and other Venitians seems to have made little impact on the rest of Italy, but it made a profound impression on German musicians. Bolognese composers and their music are not well known today, but they include Camillo Cortellini, a trombonist who also served as leader of Bologna's town band. Trombones were a very important part of the music in both churches well into the eighteenth century, but were no longer used at either one after about 1730. San Petronio began to use the trombone again in 1761, and continuously had one trombonist on its payroll from then until 1893.
(2.5)	Early in the seventeenth century, a new Holy Roman Emperor, Ferdinand II, reorganized the imperial chapel. Venice and Bologna were two of his models. Trombones continued to play a conspicuous part in Austrian church music long after they had been abandoned nearly everywhere else. There is an unbroken tradition of trombone playing in the Mass that runs from the early concerted masses of Cortellini through the masses of Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, and beyond. And throughout much of the eighteenth century, the trombone was frequently used as a solo instrument in sacred music. (See Flashes in the Pan 8.7.)
(2.6)	At the time of the Protestant reformation, the acceptance of musical instruments in church services was fairly recent and, in Germany anyway, still somewhat controversial. Most Protestant groups, including those led by Calvin and Zwingli, eliminated instruments entirely. The Lutherans did not, however. As far as musical practice is concerned, there was little difference between Catholic and Lutheran churches during the sixteenth century. In the seventeenth century, however, German composers working under the influence of Venitian polychoral music, began to develop the first truly great Protestant music. These include Michael Praetorius, Johann Hermann Schein, and Heinrich Schütz, all of whom used trombone extensively.
(2.7)	The later stages of the Thirty Years War (1618-1648) wrecked the German economy and made it impossible to continue to perform such large-scale works. It did not eliminate the town bands of The Alta Band Tradition (1.16), whose duties included playing in church. Trombones continued to accompany congregational singing until the economy once again permitted more elaborate church music. Except for J.S. Bach, composers of this new church music are not well known today, and by Bach's time, the competence of Leipzig's town band had deteriorated. Bach used trombone in only 15 of his extant cantatas, and usually only to double the choir. Nevertheless, his contemporaries and successors continued to use the trombone in their church music until the towns began to abolish their bands some time in the nineteenth century.
(2.8)	Most of the music associated with these church traditions is nowadays heard more often in the concert hall than in church services. Much of the large-scale sacred music composed over the past two hundred years has been intended for the concert hall, and thus for practical purposes can be considered part of "The Operatic and Symphonic Traditions."
(2.9)	Today, churches rely mostly on volunteer musicians. Only the musical directors, organists, and maybe a few singers are paid. Usually the more traditional services will have a choir, an organist, and no other instruments. So-called contemporary worship services depend on guitars and electric keyboards; it is not uncommon for one or a few wind instruments to be added to this core group. For special occasions, such as Christmas and Easter, many churches hire instrumentalists, including trombonists, to accompany the choir in some special music. Thus, the practice of modern churches has something in common with those of the early Renaissance. Only the Salvation Army and Moravian churches appear regularly to use any kind of a wind band for ordinary services.

« IL GOP insider calls for Kirk to step down, then recants | Main | Illinois House members call for Planned Parenthood investigation »
Boulton: 10 Years Ago, the Cook County GOP challenged the Chicago Machine
By Steve Boulton -
Ten years ago, on July 27, 2005, Cook County Republican Chairman Gary Skoien announced a $10,000 reward for evidence leading to the conviction of Mayor Richard J. Daley on corruption charges. The idea of the reward did not originate with me, but I was quite involved as General Counsel of the County Party, with knowledge of the emerging federal probes of Chicago corruption.
In 2005, the Department of Justice employed specialized anti-corruption strike teams, each made up of a score of FBI agents and prosecutors. Only a select few cities had a strike team, but Chicago had three.
The reward was issued days after the indictment of Robert Sorich, head of the Office of Governmental Affairs, as federal prosecutors slowly revealed a massive, illegal scheme to unlawfully award jobs to Democrat campaign workers without regard to qualification and ahead of legitimate aspirants. Sorich, a Daley stalwart, had an office just steps from the Mayor's in City Hall.
That fateful afternoon the Chicago political reporter corps was assembled in the offices of the Cook GOP in the Loop. In a side office with the door shut, Gary Skoien sat with Executive Director Tom Swiss and me, still weighing whether to issue the reward. Gary looked me in the eye and quietly asked "Will they get Daley?"
I replied that I did not know, but was confident that it would go higher than Sorich, as political higher ups had to know. Gary stared out the window for a full minute, then turned and softly said "Let's go do this."
I was very proud to stand next to him at the podium, which caused my then-girlfriend's mother to call her in a panic after seeing me on TV, suggesting that I was out of my mind. That night, Channel 7 news anchor Mary Ann Childers could not keep a straight face as she announced the story on the air.
The reward created a sensation locally and eventually made Time magazine. The next day, Gary lost one of three positions he held in the real estate industry, rumored to be on the basis of a late night phone call from agents of the Mayor to Gary's boss. I got off light: I only had my water meter replaced four times over the next year for no reason, each requiring a vacation day from work.
But then Robert Sorich was convicted. Then Al Sanchez, Commissioner for Streets and Sanitation was indicted, then convicted. The investigation resulted in over 30 indictments and 20 convictions, and the laughing stopped.
Eventually, the reward fund topped $100,000, but they never did indict Mayor Daley. Was he complicit? To this day I have no evidence, but I have no doubts.
The reward was but part of an active Cook County Republican Party effort under Gary Skoien, Pat Sutarik and Tom Swiss in 2004-7, challenging the Machine every way it could. It included commencing a lawsuit against Democrat Committeemen and Aldermen (which I was proud to lead all the way to the Illinois Supreme Court, where the GOP won); recruiting 10,000 new election judges; conducting downtown protests; re-instituting the Cook County Convention; representing GOP candidates for free against Democrat ballot challenges; maintaining a public profile though press releases, and acting to fill all Republican ballot slots.
The effort culminated in Tony Peraica's run for Cook County Board President which, while falling short, was the most successful GOP countywide campaign in 15 years.
The Cook GOP can be strong and relevant again if we demand it. It will require voting out those "Republican" leaders who are in politics for themselves or are "friends" of Democrat Machine masters.
Real Republicans have controlled the Chicago Party leadership since 2004, and change is now needed at the County level. With Democrat spending and pension policies hitting the wall, a true Republican voice is needed now more than ever.
But the effort will take all of us.

Bon Jovi / The Albums vinyl box set
Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) will issue Bon Jovi The Albums in February next year, a massive vinyl LP box set featuring all the band's studio albums (remastered), on 180-gram vinyl.
The 12 studio long-players are spread across 20 vinyl records (see listing below) with six of them being available on vinyl for the very first time. This will include a bonus record with the moniker 'Extras' featuring "rare b-sides from Bon Jovi's international single releases".
This is a 24LP box set so the other records included are the new album This House Is Not For Sale, Jon Bon Jovi's two solo albums (Blaze of Glory and Destination Anywhere) and the Extras LP.
This box has been on the schedule for a while and indeed the artwork above was found online for a slated 2014 release, so this may or may not be the finished visuals for the 2017 version.
The albums are being released individually on vinyl (in November), so that's an option if you wish to 'pick 'n' mix'. For the box you'll have to wait until 10th February next year.
More information on this set when we have it.

October 22, 2018 What If This Were the Cover of a Book Called What If?
The full title is What If? Philosophical Thought Experiments of Superhero Comics. I co-wrote it with Nathaniel Goldberg, and we're now entering production stage with Iowa University Press for a fall 2019 release. That means copyedits, indexing, proofs, and–my favorite–cover design. For my first book with Iowa, I found a photoshopped image of Napoleon in a Batman mask. It turned out the artist lived in Iran and was thrilled to have his art featured on the cover. This time I've discovered an even more obscure digital artist: me. Instead of Photoshop, I'm working in archaic Word Paint, using an idiosyncratic collage technique I've been slowly developing over the last year. Most of these wouldn't work for cover art, but it's a fun experiment. Each combines multiple sources digitally scissorsed into gridded strips and layered over and over. My favorite is the last, which I sent to Iowa. We'll see if they like it enough to put it on the cover.
I really like the one you sent to Iowa.

Exiled Swazis / eMaSwati participated in a political protest at the Commonwealth Secretariat where a Heads of Government for the Commonwealth countries was held from Monday the 16th April 2018. The protest was hosted by Action for Southern Africa (ACTSA).
The protest commenced at 11:30hrs on the 19th of April 2018 and was coordinated by ACTSA's Senior Campaigns Officer - Sunit Bagree. The protest started at the corner of St James' Street and Pall Mall and later moved to the near the Commonwealth House entrance, which was opposite the temporary entrance to the Commonwealth Secretariat building.
Initially ACTSA communicated that Mswati III of Swaziland would possibly attend the Commonwealth meetings, but it was later learnt that he instead sent the prime minister Sibusiso Barnabas Dlamini to represent him.
The protest was attended by various organisation notwithstanding Action for Southern Africa, Swazi Vigil UK and others. Protesters used the usual song and dance style to draw attention from members of the public, the Metropolitan Police, other protesters from other groups and the Commonwealth Meeting delegates.


How can your exit your second story rooms in an emergency? A home fire ladder can do just that. A home fire ladder is a rung ladder that can be quickly attached to a window and unrolled.
A fire ladder is a relatively inexpensive product. However, it is something that can save your life. They are available in many home improvement stores and emergency preparedness stores.
You can store your fire ladder easily at home. You can place a fire ladder in a central location on an upper floor. This can be inside of a linen closet or similar location. It is even better to store several of them in individual rooms. They can easily be stored under a bed in their original box or a transparent tote. However, make sure your ladder is always easily accessible. It should never be placed on a high shelf or behind boxes.
According to the Product Review Squad, you will need to do a bit of research to find the best home fire ladder for your home. First, you will need to know the required length. This can easily be done by dropping a weighted string from the appropriate window and measuring the distance. Keep in mind it is okay for the ladder to be a few feet short of the ground. You will also need to check if the fire ladder meets industry standards. Quality home fire ladders will have the seal of the American Society for Testing and Materials. You also might want to consider asking the advice of local firefighters about the types of home fire ladders they recommend. Remember, they see these items in use daily!
Protect your home and loved ones. Don't let anyone be stranded on upper stories. A home fire ladder is an investment every home owner should make.


I have told you in the past that I love Blog 702. It is a blog of substance, written by someone who knows what they are talking about and who is willing to share what they know.
The authors of Blog 702 have started a series about the concept of "reasonable degree of medical certainty." Here are the first few paragraphs"
Quite some time ago now, we promised to respond to a Beck & Herrmann post decrying an ALI proposal to abolish any requirement that experts offer their opinions to a "reasonable degree" of medical, professional, or scientific "certainty." (Call this the "RDC" rule for short.) The ALI proposal would abrogate any RDC requirement and demand only that the expert hold his or her opinion to be more likely true than not — at least in the context of opinions offered to prove causation in tort cases involving physical harm.
Beck & Herrmann attempt to rebut three arguments offered by the ALI in favor of abandoning any RDC requirement: (1) that the medical and scientific communities have no such "reasonable certainty" standard; (2) that the requirement imposes a more demanding standard for admissibility than the law imposes for satisfaction of the burden of persuasion in civil cases; and (3) that the RDC standard affords no effective guarantee of the soundness of the expert's analysis.
We'll respond to Beck & Herrmann's specific critiques of the three ALI arguments in a second installment. In this first post, we will: (a) discuss how the RDC rule appears to have originated; (b) attempt some description of the demands it may currently impose; and (c) consider some of the functions it might aspirationally perform.
To read the rest of Part I, go here and scroll down to "Beck & Herrmann on 'Reasonable Medical Certainty': Part I" on June 22, 2007.
Thanks to Peter B. Nordberg at Berger & Montague for sharing.
