'Bachelorette' Finale: Kaitlyn Bristowe Is Engaged but Not Done With the Jerks Yet
Caroline Olney July 27, 2015 at 8:16 PM
I know we say every Bachelorette season is "the most dramatic ever," but I think we can all pretty much agree that this Bachelorette season was THE MOST DRAMATIC EVER. And this finale was more than a match for the rest of the season ... even though we never got our Nick v. Shawn fistfight.
Before we even get to her pick, though, let's talk about the real star of this episode, a.k.a. Kaitlyn's mom. "I don't want to call you arrogant, but ..."?? RESPECT.
And it looks like she (and Kaitlyn's sister) had the right idea, because Kaitlyn is officially engaged ... to Shawn Booth!!
Yep, the rumors were true -- Kaitlyn's instant connection with Shawn won out over the heat she felt with Nick. This is now the second time Nick has been left in the dust during a Bachelorette finale, and I'd say that I felt bad for him if I 100 percent did not feel bad for him at all.

It's undoubtedly tough for Nick to be left behind (blindsided is the word that comes to mind -- I mean, how much further into that speech could he have gotten?), but DUDE. Was he not a massive jerk during that whole thing?
Kaitlyn was trying to gracefully dump him, and he sat there shoving words into her mouth and trying to tell her what she felt. He wouldn't even let her get an apology out! Sorry, Nick V. fans, but you cannot seriously tell me you didn't see his ugly side here.
BUT, there's no way the producers are letting Nick back on the show a third time, so we can forget about him forever. Let's focus instead on how over-the-moon-happy Kaitlyn and Shawn looked.
That girl was SHAKING she was so happy. She's been telling him he was the one from the first night, and that's gotta be something.
Yes, rumors have been flying that Kaitlyn and Shawn are already broken up, but it wouldn't be The Bachelorette if we didn't hold out hope for at least a little while that they make it long-term. And if we can make it through After the Final Rose without THAT annoucement, then we're doing okay.
Honesely, though, thank God we have Bachelor in Paradise starting next week. What would we possibly do without it??

U.S-Iran: The EU calls for restraint
By Yossi Lempkowicz	 June 25, 2019 No Comments
The Iranian Supreme Leader, Ayotollah Ali Khamenei, is among those subject to the American new sanctions. U.S. President Donald Trump accused him of being: "Ultimately responsible for the hostile conduct of the regime."
BRUSSELS—The European Union has called for an "immediate de-escalation" of tensions in the Middle East as the U.S. government announced new "hard-hitting" sanctions on Iran.
The sanctions will be applied to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his office, denying Iranian officials access to "billions of dollars" of financial assets, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said on Monday. President Trump accused Khamenei of being ''ultimately responsible for the hostile conduct of the regime." Sanctions will also be imposed on Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, according to Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin.
Hitting back, Zarif wrote on Twitter that hawkish politicians close to Trump "despise diplomacy, and thirst for war". Iran's ambassador to the UN, Majid Takht-Ravanchi, described the situation to media as "very dangerous" while the UN Security Council held closed consultations on the rising tensions between the US and Iran. He added that the US should deescalate tensions by stopping its "military adventurism" in the region and ending "economic warfare against the Iranian people".
Trump said the sanctions were a response to the shooting down of a US drone "and many other things," but Mnuchin said the executive order was in the works before the drone was shot down. Signing the executive order, President Trump said: "We do not seek conflict with Iran or any other country. I can only tell you we cannot ever let Iran have a nuclear weapon."
Tensions are growing in the Middle East after a US cyber offensive disabled computer systems that control rocket and missile launchers in Iran. The attacks came in retaliation for Iran's alleged shooting of a US drone in international airspace.
An EU foreign affairs spokesperson called for "urgent restraint" on all sides.
"Exclusively diplomatic routes are needed to resolve differences," said the spokesperson.
The UN Security Council issued a statement after consultations that said: "The Council members urge concerned parties and all countries in the region to exercise maximum restraint and take measures and actions to reduce escalation and end tension." The Council also condemned the attacks on oil tankers in the Middle East.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visited Saudi Arabia yesterday, before arriving in the UAE last night, as he attempts to build a united front against Iran. In Saudi Arabia Pompeo met with King Salman and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. In the UAE he met with Crown prince Mohammed bin Zayed.

By Karl Bode, Mar 26 2019 | Original Motherboard article here.
. . . Despite Telecom efforts to kill it — last minute attempts to weaken the bill failed as it now moves toward a showdown in the House and Senate.
Last month, Democrats introduced a simple three page bill that would do one thing: restore FCC net neutrality rules and the agency's authority over ISPs, both stripped away by a hugely-controversial decision by the agency in late 2017. Tuesday morning, the Save the Internet Act passed through a key House committee vote and markup session—despite some last-minute efforts by big telecom to weaken the bill.
Representative Anna Eshoo said during the hearing.
Survey after survey have shown that the vast bipartisan majority of Americans supported the FCC's 2015 rules and opposed the repeal. But the Trump FCC was quick to bow to pressure to telecom giants like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast — despite their long history of using their role as natural monopolies to hamstring competitors and nickel and dime subscribers.
The Pai repeal not only ended net neutrality, it dramatically cut back the FCC's authority over major broadband providers, shoveling any remaining authority to the FTC. Critics (like former FCC boss Tom Wheeler) say lacks the authority or resources to actually police telecom giants. With neither competition nor meaningful regulatory oversight to keep them in check, these telecom giants will have carte blanche to abuse their roles as internet gatekeepers online, net neutrality activists have repeatedly warned.
"It seems like the GOP retreated a bit given after the huge swell of public support," said Greer, who told Motherboard that 300,000 people watched the organization's livestream of the markup process. That attention "really emboldened the Democrats and shored up the ones that were wobbling," Greer said. The FCC's 2015 rules were crafted over a decade of discussion, countless public hearings, and numerous court victories for net neutrality supporters. As such, activists say they viewed any attempt to modify the legislation as a non-starter, given the public clearly wanted a clean restoration of the original rules.
Should the legislation fail to pass, the FCC's 2015 net neutrality rules may also be restored via a lawsuit filed against the FCC by 22 state attorneys general and companies like Mozilla, who say the Pai FCC ignored all objective data and the public interest in its rush to please the nation's biggest broadband providers.

Recent Disciplinary Actions by the North Carolina Bar: Spring 2017
Each quarter, the North Carolina State Bar ("NC Bar") publishes its most-recent disciplinary actions against attorneys licensed in the state. Here is a summary of some of the most noteworthy actions from Spring 2017:
1. Disbarments
The NC Bar's Disciplinary Hearing Commission (DHC) disbarred four attorneys during the quarter. Three of the disbarments were based, at least in part, on misappropriation of clients' entrusted funds. All three of the disbarred attorneys had been in practice for at least 30 years. In one case, the attorney had misappropriated well in excess of $80,000 from multiple clients. In the other two, the misappropriated amounts were smaller, but the attorneys were also found to have mismanaged and misrepresented the handling of their client trust accounts, including intentionally misidentifying the source of trust funds.
In the fourth disbarment action, the attorney consented to resignation of his law license while facing an investigation for sending sexually-suggestive emails and engaging in sexual relations with immigration clients who were "especially vulnerable."
2. Suspensions
Ten North Carolina-barred attorneys received suspensions and stayed suspensions from the DHC during the spring. The grounds for suspension included:
Failing to maintain client communications and participate in the NC Bar's fee dispute resolution program.
Failing to perform quarterly trust account reconciliations, failing to return funds mistakenly wired from an unknown source, and improperly disbursing client deposits held in trust.
Submitting a document bearing a false signature to the NC Bar's Grievance Committee.
Failing to communicate with clients and making inaccurate statements to a client about work purportedly performed.
Failing to adequately supervise the attorney's assistant (who misappropriated clients' trust deposits) and adequately monitor the firm's trust account.
Practicing law on a suspended license and neglecting a client's case.
Engaging in conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice by making "frivolous claims and misleading statements" during the representation of criminal defendants. The misleading statements included falsely telling one Assistant District Attorney (ADA) that another had promised amnesty for crimes committed prior to the subject offense, and "impl[ying] to the court that [the ADA] had agreed not to prosecute [her client]" for earlier offenses.
3. Censures and Reprimands
Six attorneys received censures and/or reprimands during the quarter. The grounds for discipline included making misrepresentations to the court, practicing on a suspended license, failing to take action as appointed appellate counsel for indigent clients, charging excessive fees, failing to communicate with clients, failing to make timely filings on behalf of clients, and failure to timely comply with the Grievance Committee's requests.

Man jailed for Stoke-on-Trent flat arson
Michael Kwiatkowski
A man is beginning a prison sentence after pleading guilty to arson at a flat in Stoke-on-Trent.
This fire caused terrible damage and endangered the lives of many local residents. This reckless act by Mr Kwiatkowski must not go unpunished and so I welcome the sentence handed down today and hope it serves as a warning to others.
Staffordshire Police's Detective Constable Ben Thomas
Michael Kwiatkowski, 36, previously of Lancashire Court, Federation Road, Burslem, appeared at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court on Tuesday February 6 where he was sentenced to six years and nine months for arson being reckless as to whether life is endangered.
Crews were called to the incident at around 8.20am on Friday October 6 2017 after Kwiatkowski set fire to furniture within his flat using lighter fluid. He then left the property and was later arrested by colleagues from Staffordshire Police.
Firefighters rescued three occupants from other flats and the block was evacuated, thankfully no one was injured.
At the height of the incident six fire appliances were in attendance, including the aerial ladder platform, and crews used a total of eight breathing apparatus and fought the blaze externally using a main jet to prevent the fire spreading to other flats.
A joint fire investigation was completed with Staffordshire Police, with help from Matt Dixon and his fire dog Kai from West Midlands Fire and Rescue Service. They were able to detect the presence of accelerants, which the investigation proved were responsible for the rapid rate of fire growth.
Simon Craythorn, who completed the fire investigation for the incident, said: "We welcome this sentence which reflects the seriousness of this fire. This incident could have easily resulted in serious injury or worse and it took considerable time and effort to safely extinguish the fire.
"Fire investigations are complex and difficult due to the damage caused by the fire. However, there is often plenty of evidence remaining that can help us to establish the cause, origin and spread of the fire. On this occasion crews worked really hard to minimise the damage from firefighting action and to preserve the scene.
"Our fire investigation work, in conjunction with the investigation completed by colleagues from Staffordshire Police, was able to evidence that Kwiatkowski was responsible for setting fire to his flat."
Staffordshire Police's Detective Constable Ben Thomas, who was the officer in the case, said: "This fire caused terrible damage and endangered the lives of many local residents. This reckless act by Mr Kwiatkowski must not go unpunished and so I welcome the sentence handed down today and hope it serves as a warning to others. Thanks to the excellent work of our colleagues at the Fire Service, we were able to put together a clear, concise and extremely credible prosecution case that convinced Mr Kwiatkowski to plead guilty."

High-school athletes in Tupelo, Miss., face mandatory drug testing beginning this fall under a plan adopted last month by the Tupelo city school board.
Under the program, approved on a 4-0 vote, Tupelo High School's 350 athletes in grades 10 to 12 would be required to undergo urine testing at the beginning of the sports season. Athletes also would be subject to random tests.
Any athlete found to have used illegal drugs would be required to undergo counseling. If a second test showed evidence of continuing abuse, the athlete would be suspended from sports programs. Suspended athletes could be reinstated after completing a counseling program and testing as drug-free.
Parents and students have supported the idea since the plan was first proposed in May, according to Ricky J. Black, the school's athletic director.
At least one federal court has upheld drug tests for students participating in extracurricular activities. But courts have struck down mass screening programs involving all students.
A panel appointed by an Illinois school district was not qualified to decide whether a disabled student should be permitted to compete in regular high-school sports, a federal judge has ruled.
U.S. District Judge Stanley Roszkowski held that the Rochelle Township school board violated Scot Hollenbeck's civil rights by failing to comply with a hearing officer's decision that the student could be barred from regular sports teams only if a panel of experts found that it would be unsafe.
A panel made up of two special educators, the student's counselor, his physical therapist, a nurse, the school's athletic director, a sociologist, and the school's principal decided it would be unsafe for Mr. Hollenbeck to compete on the regular track team. It limited his sports participation to golf, tennis, and a wheelchair division of the track team.
The judge found that not only was the panel unqualified to make such a determination, but also had acted unfairly by denying the student a chance to present expert testimony on the safety question. Mr. Hollenbeck, a wheelchair athlete, has set national records in swimming.
A pilot plan to test doorway metal detectors in five New York City high schools has been dropped as too costly.
Schools Chancellor Richard R. Green made the decision after learning that the project would cost $9 million--$2 million for the equipment and $7 million to operate it. School officials, who are studying a variety of ideas to stem school violence, say they are still considering less costly hand-held detectors.
The Jefferson Parish, La., school board wants to know if any of its employees are working while intoxicated.
Under a "noninvasive'' testing plan being considered, only on-the-job drug abuse would be targeted--by means of random, private examinations of an employee's balance, eye movement, memory, and attention span. Workers found to be intoxicated would be sent home for the rest of the day on sick leave and encouraged to enroll in a drug or alcohol assistance program.
Any employee who failed the test three times would be given a urinalysis test and disciplined if the results indicated illegal drug use. The program would cost about $100,000 to implement, officials say.
Teachers improperly urged use of the drug Ritalin on a 13-year-old student, the boy's parents have charged in a $1.3-million lawsuit against the Gwinnett County, Ga., school system.
Rilla and Lonnie Cothran say the district labeled their son David as emotionally handicapped, even though other doctors diagnosed the boy as reading-disabled. Following the teachers' recommendations, the couple asked a physician to prescribe the drug, which is a controversial medication used to treat attention-deficit disorders in children. The Cothrans say the drug caused their son to be disoriented.
The school district has denied that teachers gave the parents medical advice.
The state board of regents is not doing enough to help troubled schools in New York City, according to a report by the state comptroller's office.
The audit charges that the board of regents, which oversees the state department of education, overemphasizes support for suburban and upstate districts at the expense of the city's schools.
In one example cited in the audit, the department had assigned 16 education specialists to assist 45 low-performing schools outside the city, but only 11 for the 400 such schools within the city.
A new study by a New York City watchdog group projects that about 26 percent of the city's high-school students will fail to graduate within four years.
Black leaders in Houston are pondering a campaign to carve out a separate school district in the inner city.
Consideration of a break-away district--an idea that mirrors proposals being discussed in several other cities--has been spurred by anger at Superintendent of Schools Joan Raymond's plans to transfer a number of black administrators to new jobs within the Houston Independent School District.
State Representative Al Edwards will head a committee to study the separate-district proposal. Some black leaders have accused Ms. Raymond of racism, on the grounds that the new jobs given black administrators provide them with little real power.
More than half the children entering the Chicago public schools are unable to recite their first and last names, speak in complete simple sentences, sit still for a brief story, identify colors, or draw stick figures, according to a recent Chicago Sun-Times survey of kindergarten teachers.
The newspaper poll found dramatic differences between Chicago kindergartners and those of nearby Wilmette. Kindergarten teachers in that affluent suburb said almost all their students had the basic skills needed to begin school work.
For the first time in more than a decade, the St. Paul school system will provide counselors for troubled elementary-school students.
Under a proposal approved by the school board, the system will hire two elementary-school counselors, one with school-district funds and another with federal funds earmarked for early-intervention programs.
The Citizens Budget and Finance Committee, a panel of teachers, parents, and citizens appointed by the board, had proposed that the district hire four to six such counselors.
Criticism by the state education department of vocational and career education in Boston has spurred city officials to consider taking control of some school-system programs.
Mayor Raymond L. Flynn's employment commission held a hearing in late June to examine why vocational programs in a city with a large and growing labor shortage nevertheless were experiencing sharp decreases in enrollment.
A recent state report had chided school officials for administrative delays and budget cuts, which it said had harmed the city's main vocational school, the Hubert Humphrey Occupational Resource Center.
The employment commission is expected this month to recommend improvements in the city's employment-training system.
Dearborn, Mich., school officials are working with students and parents to head off any problems when they begin busing Arab-American pupils this fall.
The new busing plan, aimed at reducing overcrowded conditions in three schools with large Arab-American enrollments, will transfer up to 450 students to four schools with low enrollments of such students.
The Detroit suburb has the nation's largest population of Arab-Americans.

Visit the Electric Town Akihabara
Akihabara (Japanese: 秋葉原) is a common name for the area around Akihabara Station in the Chiyoda ward of Tokyo, Japan. The name Akihabara is a shortening of Akibagahara (秋葉が原, "autumn leaf field"), which ultimately comes from Akiba (秋葉), named after a fire-controlling deity of a firefighting shrine built after the area was destroyed by a fire in 1869. Akihabara gained the nickname Akihabara Electric Town (秋葉原電気街, Akihabara Denki Gai) shortly after World War II for being a major shopping centre for household electronic goods and the post-war black market. Nowadays, Akihabara is considered by many to be an otaku cultural centre and a shopping district for video games, anime, manga, and computer goods. Icons from popular anime and manga are displayed prominently on the shops in the area, and numerous maid cafés are found throughout the district.

Everything is extreme these days, especially sports. Extreme sports are a big deal and now adventure camps are offering safe places for people to experience and participate in them. Everywhere that an adventure camp exists, there are also jobs that need to be filled by people that love extreme sports.
So if you love extreme sports like skiing, kite surfing, kayaking, backpacking, biking, wakeboarding, surfing, diving, off-roading, climbing, or other sports that fit in the extreme category, you may want to look into working at an adventure camp. See also the Summer Camp Section on the website.
Adventure camps vary tremendously. Some may last for an afternoon, while others a few days, and still others may last for several weeks to a month.
They may be specialized, where you learn about one sport for the entire duration, or they may be generalized, where you get a taste for a variety of adventure sports.
Jobs at adventure camps are great. It's always a treat to share your knowledge of your sport with other people. For instance, if you've spend years mastering a half pipe, you might find yourself working at Mount Hood in Oregon for the summer instructing kids or adults on how to use the half pipe. Maybe your passion is backpacking; you could be a trip leader on backpacking course for teens in the Eagles Nest Wilderness of Colorado. Maybe you're a surf bum that knows all there is to know about waves, you could maybe find a job at a surf camp in So Cal.
The options are endless. To find the job opportunities, it may take some searching on the Internet or in your favorite sports magazine to find the perfect job for you. But once you find it, you'll love it. You'll love getting paid $50 to $100 a day. A good place to see the options and browse the employers is AdventureCamp.com.
Every adventure camp is different so it is hard to define exactly what skills you'll need to get a job. But as with any job where you will be an instructor or leader, you need to have the necessary skills to be a master at what you do. Other skills that always help are first aid and people skills. Often these camps are set up for kids or teenagers, so any experience you have with those age groups is a bonus.
As an instructor, people look up to you for advice and try to mimic your skills. You'll need to be a good athlete, but also need to ooze confidence and be a good role model. Sometimes you'll get training to improve your athletic skills or enhance your customer service abilities.
Working at adventure camps is a great way to fine-tune your skills, but also it's a great way to share your skills with people who look up to you. So if you're ready to work at an adventure camp, do some research on what camps are available, and get out there and play!

President of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari has congratulated Cyril Ramaphosa on his election as the President of the Republic of South Africa.
The President's congratulatory message is contained in a statement issued by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu, in Abuja on Thursday.
The President also congratulated the African National Congress (ANC), as well as the Government and people of South Africa, on the peaceful transfer of power that resulted in the election of President Ramaphosa.
According to the President, he looks forward to working with the new President of South Africa to enhance cooperation of the governments of Africa's two leading economies.
The ANC leadership had on Tuesday advised Zuma to step down from office or risk being impeached by the parliament.
Zuma, however, announced his resignation on Wednesday night to pave way for Ramaphosa, a former trade unionist and business tycoon, to take over the political leadership in South Africa. President Buhari saluted Jacob Zuma's courage and leadership.

Democrat Jerry McNerney bests Republican Tony Amador to retain seat in race for Congress
Bob Highfill
STOCKTON -- Democrat Jerry McNerney, who has represented Stockton in Congress since 2007, defeated Republican Antonio "Tony" Amador, who challenged him for the third time, in the race for California's 9th District.
With all 156 precincts reporting, McNerney had 96,487 votes (62%), while Amador had 60,318 votes (38%). In San Joaquin County, the percentages were the same: McNerney had 58,232 votes (62%) to 35,953 for Amador (38%).

California's 9th District includes a large portion of San Joaquin County as well as parts of Contra Costa and Sacramento counties.
"I've focused a lot on my legislative work in this last year and trying to get help for the county with the pandemic," McNerney said Tuesday night. "Certainly tonight we're seeing the enthusiasm and the passion of the voters, which is encouraging. I don't care what side of the aisle you're on, but with my race we're seeing as large a lead as I've ever seen, which is encouraging to me."
McNerney was inspired to run for Congress by his son Michael, who in response to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, sought and received a commission in the Air Force. Michael suggested that his dad serve his country by running for Congress. McNerney began his journey to Congress and was sworn into office on Jan. 4, 2007.
McNerney's campaign centered, in part, on finding long-term answers to systemic questions, such as equitable access to technology: broadband and internet, as well as equitable access to distance learning during the coronavirus pandemic.
McNerney said much work must be done to restore the economy and bring the coronavirus under control.
"We need to listen to what the scientists are telling us, have masks be mandatory at least for a while until we can start tracing," he said. "The pandemic is so out of control that it can't even be traced now."
McNerney said his constituents need economic relief, including unemployment insurance extensions. He believes a coronaviruvaccine will be developed by the middle of 2021.
"But until then, we need to put systems in place that will keep people from falling into despair," McNerney said.
McNerney watched election results from his campaign office in Stockton with his wife, Mary, and another person.
"We don't want to spread the virus around ourselves, either," McNerney said.
Mary McNerney said she's OK sharing her husband with his district and Washington for another term.
"He's genuine, he's a real public servant," she said. "He's doing very important work and I'm very proud of how he works for everybody."
Amador was a Republican candidate for the same seat in 2014 and 2016. In 2016, McNerney garnered 57.4% of the vote to 42.6% for Amador. In 2014, McNerney carried with 52.4% of the vote to 47.6% for Amador.
Amador served nearly 13 years with the Los Angeles Police Department. He continued his law enforcement career in a number of administrative positions before being appointed a United States marshal for the Eastern District of California. He retired from that post in 2009.

Donald Trump Signs NICA Act And Imposes Sanctions on Nicaragua

U.S. President Donald Trump has signed the Nica Act, to impose imperialist sanctions on the democratically elected Nicaraguan government of Daniel Ortega.
United States (U.S.) president, Donald Trump, signed the Nicaraguan Investment Conditionality Act (Nica Act) on Thursday, that will impose sanctions on the government of President Daniel Ortega. The Nica Act passed through the United States Congress on Tuesday, Dec. 12th.
Nicaragua Rejects US Congressional Passage of NICA Act
In November, President Trump signed an executive order to personally sanction specific members of Daniel Ortega's government. With the implementation of the Nica Acta, the U.S. government will be able to put restrictions on loans from financial institutions destined for Nicaragua.
Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega has rejected this decision, while a large percentage of the Nicaraguan people also reject it, as it's considered to be detrimental to the Nicaraguan democracy, according to a survey by M & R Consultores.
On Wednesday the Nicaraguan legislative power, with 70 out of 92 votes, issued a decree that dissolved five Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO), accused of having played an important organizational, financial and leadership role in the coup d'etat attempt that created a crisis in Nicaragua and went from April 18th until July.
"In fact, as widely demonstrated, NGOs received large sums of money from government agencies in third countries and seemingly private structures, but attributable to foreign parties and governments, with the aim of creating violent opposition to the Sandinista government," wrote the Nicaraguan local media, El 19 Digital.
According to several international analysts, the protests against Daniel Ortega's Sandinista government were financed and backed by several U.S. agencies such as the USAID and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). "The Nicaraguan student leaders were there (in Washington) to beseech President Donald Trump and other right-wing U.S. government officials to help in their fight against Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega," wrote Max Blumenthal in June, explaining the situation in Nicaragua.
"To comply with these objectives (a coup d'etat), USAID allocated an approximate amount of U$D 68,414,563.00, to which was added an increase in 2016 of U$D 7,995,022.00," according to a report entitled "How USAID prepared conditions for a soft coup against the government of Nicaragua," published by Cuba Debate.
In November, President Trump signed an executive order declaring that the Nicaraguan Government "constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States." The Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of America (ALBA), the Latin American integrationist body, has rejected the attempts of U.S. administration's mandate to interfere with the nations of Latin America. Bolivian President Evo Morales told President Ortega "(you are) not alone against imperialism," showing his support to the Nicaraguan people.

A new trend? Christian colleges, universities lowering, freezing tuition prices
CP U.S. | Tuesday, October 20, 2020
By Michael Gryboski, Christian Post Reporter | Tuesday, October 20, 2020

In recent times, multiple private Christian colleges and universities have garnered headlines for decisions to either freeze or reduce tuition costs for students.
Houghton College in Allegany County, New York, announced earlier this month that it was cutting tuition from $33,920 this year to $15,900 starting next fall.
Liberty University of Lynchburg, Virginia, announced in September that it was continuing a tuition freeze for both online and residential students for a third year.
Daniel Nelson, chief institutional data & research officer at Bethel University, has worked with the Council on Christian Colleges and Universities on research regarding financial aid. He explained to The Christian Post that efforts by some Christian schools to cut or freeze their tuition costs have been developing over the past few years.
Nelson reported having found eight Christian schools that engaged in what he labeled a "tuition reset," which meant they "dropped their sticker price substantially."
More recently, he found that "three more schools, just in the last month or so, have announced that they're doing the same."
He believes it is "a start of a trend" that will likely exist even after the coronavirus pandemic has ended.
"I predict that this will continue and there will be many more Christian colleges that will do something on the pricing and discounting side in the next year or two," he said.
"Because the forces that were in place prior to the pandemic were already pushing us in this direction and the pandemic just is going to be pushing some of these schools over the edge."
He contrasted these most recent efforts with past tuition freezes offered over the past 20 or so years, in which the price was fixed for only a brief period of time.
"There have not been noticeable trends in the past, but if we're prognosticating into the future, this is where I think that there will be more of a trend as schools struggle with both the pandemic and the issues that were underlying prior to that," he said.

Seattle Pacific University, a nondenominational Christian school based in Washington State, recently announced that its tuition price will be reduced by 25% starting in fall 2021.
Jordan Grant, assistant vice president for Enrollment Operations and Student Financial Services at SPU, told CP that the plan to cut tuition started in April 2018.
At the time, university leadership wanted to find ways to make an SPU education more affordable and also to possibly restructure its financial aid offerings.
"We did quite an extensive review and environmental scan of what other schools were doing, some alternative pricing models, financial aid models, and we looked at many different attributes," explained Grant.
"Through that research, we've had some consultants run some models for us to determine what would be the best for our students, our prospective students, and of course our university."
In February, Grant and his fellow researchers presented their findings before SPU leadership, with the decision being made to go forward "happening independent of the coronavirus."
"It was somewhat providential knowing the challenges that students and families are having during COVID and then providing them some relief, at least something to look forward to for relief," said Grant.
Under the new model labeled "Tuition Reimagined," Grant told CP that SPU also "restructured our scholarships" and committed themselves to "a historically low tuition increase after 2021-2022 to be no more than a net 4% tuition increase."
"Historically, SPU has had a 5% increase, some private universities have been above that. We think this is really helpful for students to plan better and to lower a rate on an already lower starting rate," he continued.
"We anticipate that 4% historically low tuition increase to be in place for the next four years, we are committing to that, to those students enrolling next autumn."
Nathan Mouttet, vice president for enrollment management and marketing at SPU, acknowledged that there might be some financial risk to the decision.
He pointed out that "when you do reduce your top line" there might be "some revenue that can be lost" as a result, noting that they hope to "attract and retain more students that would in essence make up for that potential loss."
Mouttet estimated that SPU would need to get "somewhere in the neighborhood of a greater than 5% total student enrollment increase."
Numbers aside, he believes there is a "missional side" to the effort as many students face the question of where to go for college.
"I want something that reflects my values and my faith at a small community of learners would be ideal," he said, explaining the conflict. "But if I have the chance to get into a state university at significantly lower sticker price not knowing what financial aid is going to be at the other end of this, I'm likely going to go for the economic savings versus potentially the values that I might more closely align with."
"Clearly, you're trying to make this possible for students financially, but you're also trying to make it possible for a missional reason."
A tipping point

Gordon College, a Christian private school based in Wenham, Massachusetts, recently announced that its tuition rate for next year will be cut by 33% compared to this year.
"As the gap has grown between our stated price and the more affordable net price families would actually pay, the irony became that even alumni were assuming that the Gordon experience they loved and want for their own children was out of reach," stated President D. Michael Lindsay.
"It's not, and better price transparency will remind students that educational excellence can still be affordable, and these new changes will now bring Gordon within reach for many."
Gordon College spokesman Rick Sweeney told CP that the decision to cut tuition "has been considered for several years" and "would have occurred without the pandemic."
"But given the strain the pandemic has placed on families considering college, it did crystallize the timing," explained Sweeney, who labeled the change "a reboot and not a temporary reduction."
As with SPU, Gordon had research that found that the high sticker price for tuition was the lead reason why many prospective students were not choosing the college.
Sweeney felt that he was "confident we will maintain the needed net revenue and do hope this attracts more students and families who otherwise would not consider Gordon because of the high sticker price."
"Listen to your stakeholders. The 'high sticker price/high financial aid' model is not sustainable. The financial uncertainty brought on by the pandemic only hastens this decision," he stated.
"Gordon alumni and others have told us for several years that the education they valued and wanted to share with their own children had become too expensive. There's a tipping point for everything, and the college believes now is the right time to make a private Christian education more accessible."
Is it a sustainable model?

Tim Fuller, founder of Fuller Higher Ed Solutions and formerly vice president for enrollment management at Houghton, has researched Christian school enrollment and strategy.
In an interview with CP, Fuller had his doubts about a handful of Christian schools pursuing tuition resets and freezes being a trend in light of the hundreds of Christian universities and colleges in the United States.
Nevertheless, he believes the "pressures" to consider such changes "were there already" and that "they have been exacerbated by the pandemic."
"More people will be thinking about doing this. That begs the question of whether or not it is a good idea and whether it has worked for other people who have done it in the past," said Fuller.
While the "mantra" may be "one of affordability," Fuller noted that for many people, even with the tuition cuts, an education at one of these private Christian schools can remain unaffordable.
He gave the example of a school that has a $40,000 tuition cost that opts to cut it by 25%, which would make it $30,000 and thus "still not affordable for most people."
"Suppose you're a school with a thousand students and your tuition is $40,000 a year. And your discount rate is 65%. And so, you say 'we're going to cut our tuition from 40 to 30 and we're going to make a requisite cut in our discount rate,'" Fuller explained.
"But if you attract more students and have less net revenue, as we'd say in North Carolina, that dog won't hunt, or at least not for very long. It's not a sustainable model."
He also noted that past CCCU research in the 1980s and 2000s found that many prospective evangelical Christian students shy away from private schools for more than just tuition prices.
"It's pretty clear that there's a lot of the Christian public, the evangelical Christian public, who would be marvelous fits for CCCU schools that don't even look at them seriously because the research suggests that they don't think they're good enough academically and they think they cost too much," he said.
"Well, these strategies tinker with the price side of that thing, but they do nothing to address the value. In fact, they may distract from the value proposition."
Fuller noted that the "hope for a strategy like this is that some of those people who wouldn't have looked at you before because they saw the sticker price and went 'yikes, we can't do that' would now look."
"But I think the point of the other research is if the issue for me is not really price, if the issue is 'I don't perceive it's worth choosing,' then tinkering with price may only exacerbate some of that concern rather than address it in some way."

Peugeot is revealing not one, but two concept cars in Geneva, which present two expressions of the Marque's upmarket trend in the supermini segment. These concept cars interpret the generation leap already defined by the 208 but in different contexts. The XY Concept is intended for city dwellers who love distinction and refinement, whereas the GTi Concept re-generates an iconic legend.
The first sensations are completely visual and evident as soon as the GTi Concept is revealed. Instantly characterised by being the performance icon of the 208, it features chequered-flag motifs that embellish the metal mesh of the grille, and the lower bar proudly affirms its origin by displaying the French 'Le Tricolour' flag or the Union Jack when in the UK.
