Democrats have a 2020 problem: Trump is good at elections
Local // Willie's World

Polling after the State of the Union speech showed that President Trump has once again connected with at least enough voters to make him a 2020 favorite.

Make no mistake, President Trump's State of the Union address was the kickoff for his 2020 re-election campaign, and so far I've yet to see a Democrat who can beat him.
During the partial government shutdown over whether to fund Trump's wall on the southern border, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi suggested that the president deliver the annual address alone, from the Oval Office.
I can see why.
Alone, Trump is a frump. In front of a crowd, he's electric.
No matter what you think of Trump's message, his delivery was impressive. He stayed on script and kept referring to everyday heroes in the gallery, thus forcing the Democrats to stand and cheer.
It was populist theater, where presence and impression trump content.
And the overnight polling after the speech showed that once again, he connected with voters, at least enough voters to make him a 2020 favorite.
You can't say the same for the Democratic contenders. They all have impressive credentials, winning personalities and positive messages, but none displays the "people personality" that our media-savvy president has mastered.
Nearly four years ago, when Trump announced his candidacy for president, I said he had a winning hand. He still does.

So we Democrats really have our work cut out for us.
If he carefully picks his fights, Trump can turn the light back on Democrats and force us to defend our progressive wing's "socialist" positions like health care for all, housing for all and guaranteed income.
Our candidates will have to pull further and further to the left to satisfy the party's activist constituency, much like Republicans did in response to the rise of the Tea Party, and probably with the same results.
Our congressional efforts in 2018 benefited from Republican candidates' inability to defend their relationship with Trump. But Trump can defend his relationship with himself very effectively.
Let's just hope Democrats can figure out that we need to go beyond the left and motivate voters across the board, just as midterm congressional campaigns did under Nancy Pelosi's leadership.
We know we can win California and New York. The question is: Can we win the states we lost in 2016, or do we preach to the choir in an empty church?
The Franken Rule: The ghost of former Minnesota Sen. Al Franken has descended on Virginia, and there will be hell to pay.
When Franken was forced to resign by fellow Democrats over a photo of him leering over a sleeping woman taken years before he was elected, it reset the bar for everyone.
Now, the Democrats in Virginia who were on the threshold of securing that state for the next presidential run are in total disarray.
They have a governor and attorney general who did themselves up in blackface years before they took office, ancient mistakes by people who apparently have had otherwise exemplary careers. They now find themselves in front of media firing squads, thanks to the Franken Rule.

The party could survive that, except for a wild card that's much, much worse: They have a lieutenant governor accused of sexual assaults by two women.
If all three Democrats go down, a right-wing Republican speaker of the House stands to take over the governor's office — and who knows where the state goes in 2020.
For lease: Let's hope San Francisco Supervisor Aaron Peskin's call for a vacancy tax can motivate landlords to be a bit more accommodating about all the empty commercial retail space downtown.
It's really alarming when a third of the stores on Sutter Street have for-lease signs rather than displays in their windows.
It's even worse to see public garages, many of them financed by revenue bonds, with the first-floor retail space vacant because the trustees are acting like for-profit landlords.
Walking tour: The shutdown of the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge on Thursday turned downtown San Francisco into one big parking lot.
Every block was crammed with cars and buses. Pedestrians jammed the sidewalks. Even the California Street cable cars shut down.
Yet, as I walked and walked, I did not hear one shout or horn blast in anger.
It was truly amazing.
Almost as amazing as football-size chunks of concrete falling from a state-owned bridge.
But hey, that's the Bay Area.

Inquiry ordered into Dalit activist Shiv Kumar's jail torture allegations
This was pronounced by Justice Jhingan after he scrutinised 4 medical reports submitted by the state
7:10 PM, 16 March, 2021
Dalit labour activist Shiv Kumar and Nodeep Kaur after his release from Sonipat jail
Nearly two weeks after his release from Sonipat jail, an inquiry has been ordered by the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Tuesday into the allegations of illegal detention and torture of Dalit labour activist Shiv Kumar, who was arrested along with his colleague Nodeep Kaur.
This order was pronounced by Justice Avneesh Jhingan after he scrutinised four medical reports submitted by the state, after the court's earlier orders in the matter, said an Indian Express report. In the order, the Judge has said that after considering "the facts and circumstances in entirety," the District and Sessions Judge presently posted at Faridabad should hold an "inquiry on allegations of illegal detention and custodial torture" of Shiv Kumar.

On January 16, in Kundli town, 25 km north of Delhi, Shiv Kumar and his colleague Nodeep Kaur were staging a demonstration outside a factory, since the workers had not been paid their dues, when they were picked up by the police. They were arrested in three cases, and charged with extortion, theft and attempt to murder.
In police custody, the 24-year-old Kumar was allegedly subject to brutal physical assault as well as casteist abuse, his family members have alleged. A four page-report by a medical board of Chandigarh's Government Medical College & Hospital found Kumar had multiple fractures, torn toe nails and was "mentally and physically abused in the police remand".
The report was submitted to the Punjab and Haryana High Court on February 23 by the superintendent of the district jail of Sonipat, where Shiv Kumar was held for 23 days.
The arrest of these young labour activists and their alleged torture in jail grabbed international attention as well, when Meena Harris, the niece of US Vice-President, Kamala Harris had tweeted about it.
"23 yo labor rights activist Nodeep Kaur was arrested, tortured & sexually assaulted in police custody. She's been detained without bail for over 20 days," she tweeted.
Police, however, had denied the allegations of illegal detention and harassment. They said that Nodeep was kept in the ladies waiting room at the police room accompanied by two female police personnel during her stay there.

Kaur was granted bail on February 26 and she immediately held a press conference the next day demanding Kumar's release.
On March 4, Kumar was granted bail and according to friends and family, as he emerged from the Sonipat District jail, he started chanting slogans like 'Inquilab Zindabad' and 'Kisan Mazdoor Ekta Zindabad'.
The son of a landless Dalit farm worker, Shiv Kumar graduated from an industrial training institute in Sonipat in 2016. He worked for two years in factories in the Kundli Industrial Area, before founding Mazdoor Adhikar Sangathan (MAS) in 2018. The sangathan mobilised factory workers in the area to demand fair, timely wages and better working conditions.
As per the version of prosecution in court, Kundli police station SHO Ravi Kumar said they had received a call that "a few persons were trying to forcibly enter a factory (on January 12) for extortion". The prosecution said around 50-60 people "armed with lathis and dandas" were raising slogans and they later attacked police.

An amazing Bulgari gemstone necklace.
On my way to Bergdorf and Cartier on Fifth Avenue back in July, I was stopped in my tracks outside Bulgari, also on Fifth Avenue, by this drop-dead gorgeous multicolored gemstone necklace set with baguette diamonds between each stone. I may have seen this beauty back in summer but I would love a necklace like this to wear any time of the year! I think it would be amazing in summer with a white dress or crisp white shirt, or in the winter over a black cashmere turtleneck. Can you imagine?
Detail of a Bulgari necklace. I think I just died of love.
Another necklace featured paler cabochon gemstones and I found it just as stunning.
I love this shot of this couple and their dog!
I figured she worked at Bulgari and was on a break, her boyfriend/husband was visiting her, and he brought the dog, a beautiful Boxer! Then I noticed the dog wore a studded collar.
I would love nothing more than to fasten a rhinestone collar around the neck of our cat, Tippi, whom I sometimes call Little Elizabeth Taylor when she is playing with her feather boa (Oh Liz, the glamour!), but Tippi is a bit edgy and I have a feeling she is Not That Kind of Cat and I would have my hands scratched off for my troubles.
Tippi in my Sylvia Steininger New York tote, which she thinks is hers.
I will have to add Bulgari to my list of window stops next time I'm in the city. Put it on your list too, it's at 57th and Fifth Avenue, across from both Tiffany and Bergdorf.
Would you wear a multicolored gemstone necklace? Does your dog or cat have a bejeweled or studded collar?
Yes I would and I must say I prefer the cabochon one!
My mother's pup Dolly, a black cocker spaniel, true to her working dog roots dons a tartan collar. That necklace is quite something but rather an unimpressive way of displaying it I think. Obviously, Bulgari knows their customers better than I do.
Jill, Would I wear a colored stone necklace - of course I would. I will be in the City again next week & will take a look at Bulgari's window & ogle at the beautiful necklace.
I love that couple with the bejeweled boxer. She is all dressed up wearing really high heels & he is a cool hipster, hat and all. The guy looks right out of Brooklyn. How does the girl stand possibly all day in those heels. Oh, forgot - she's young.
:-) Both necklaces are beautiful, but I would prefer the Cabochon necklace for myself.
The picture of the couple with the dog is great. But if I had a dog or a cat I think I'd just let them go with a comfortable leash.
Hi Rosie! If you see anything fabulous at Bulgari, let me know. I took these pictures in late July so I'm curious what they have in the windows now!
Hi Happyface, another vote for the cabochon! It really is a stunning necklace, isn't it? I would love a chance to try that baby on!
What a fun post! Beautiful jewelry, a cute street scene, and an adorable kitty!
Jill, passed the Bulgari windows today,and there were a lot of BIG diamond statement necklaces - the kind you would have seen on Elizabeth Taylor; or on the red carpet. There was a diamond & sapphire necklace that was very old Hollywood. Each stone was the same size very large & round; and, alternated between sapphire & diamond - very old Hollywood that stood out.


In REDPRISON there is only one game to play: pinball. Its neon throbs into a headache; its din refracts through every corridor, an aching lure into the warm and waxing violence of abject tedium. Inert bodies line behind yours for a turn, barely breathing.
This is an accurate record of three wet Monday nights I spent in front of the machine, faithfully imagining that I were you, remembering me.
If you play via the game link, you may click 'edit' to play individual levels. The point is not to win (though you are welcome to try) but to pass the time exposed to certain stimuli, thinking less than usual.
Wait until you would normally brush your teeth at night. Before brushing, fold the clean paper towel and place it in your mouth. Close your mouth and leave the towel in until it is fully soaked in your saliva (n.b. moving your tongue may help), then remove it and place it in the plastic bag. Seal the bag and place it inside the functioning refrigerator. Make sure the bag does not leak, as we do not want cross-contamination between your saliva and the various particulate matters wafting about the refrigerator.
Next, prepare your area of play. Set up the humidifier and heating pad nearby the computer you will use to play. Make sure neither is turned on, as heating pads are potential fire hazards when left unattended, and the humidifier may run out of water before you start playing. Both items should merely be at the ready. Place the fan such that it points to where you will sit/stand in front of the computer, and will blow humidified air in your direction. Finally, prepare the computer so that you are able to start the game as efficiently as possible.
Just before your normal bedtime, set the room temperature to hold at whatever threshold you consider slightly too chilly for a sleeveless shirt. Continue your normal pre-bed routine, then set the alarm to wake you in 3 hours, and place the alarm at least 3.5 meters (approximately 11.5 feet) from where you will sleep. Quickly refresh in your memory the remaining instructions, to avoid rereading them when you wake. Then go to bed as you otherwise normally do.
When the alarm goes off, disable it and bring it with you. Do not change out of your sleep clothes or don anything further. Go to the refrigerator and retrieve the bag with soaked paper-towel. Bring it with you to the play area. Start the fan, the humidifier, and the heating pad (in that order). The fan should be set to "low" and facing you, blowing the humidifier's mist toward you.
Next, set the alarm to go off in two hours and place it nearby. This is simply to ensure that your play session does not exceed two continuous hours. You should not interrupt too much sleep.
Next get into position in front of the computer, and place the heating pad over your belly. The warmth should help somewhat with the chill. Remove the damp paper towel from the plastic sack. Drape the towel across your shoulders and chest like a necklace. Your old saliva should smell strange to you.
Now wake your computer for play. Review the prompt and controls, and think of the room that held the machine. Hold this place in mind and play.
Stop when the alarm goes off or after the experience becomes unbearable.
In many ways, you are lucky.

EFT for War Veterans with PTSD
War veterans & first responders who deal with service related trauma can get relief using an acupressure-based
self-help tool called Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) or Tapping.
There are two incredible websites supporting the use of EFT for war veterans with PTSD called www.StressProject.org. and also www.BattleTap.org. Battle tap is an easy-to-learn self-help tool that is designed for armed public service professionals who are experiencing emotional or psychological distress. It's based on Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), an emerging intervention that uses acupressure-point tapping, re-exposure, and cognitive scripts to rapidly resolve undesired emotions and memories.
So many of our combat vets are coming back having experienced massive emotional & physical trauma that will affect their lives, their families and our society forever.
Back in the 70's, our society did little to rehabilitate our returning Vietnam vets and the result of that neglect has had lasting effects throughout our history. We don't have to make that same mistake again with our current vets - in fact, it's not too late for anyone who has ever suffered from PTSD to get relief.
There is real, proven, documented, undeniable proof that EFT is a tool that can free our war veterans from their emotional traumas and they can return to their lives and live with peace and leave their pain behind. Watching the videos, you'll hear comments like:
"I can't remember the last time I even thought about suicide."
"The nightmares, the flashbacks and the anger have quelled."
"I could never had imagined him ever coming back to us the way we knew him."
"I didn't believe there was anything that could help my husband because nothing else had."
"I've seen a big difference in the way he handles life now."
"The bigger issues have gotten smaller."
"It takes the warrior courage to help yourself so that now you can live your life with peace & harmony."
"You can feel like a real person again and not be afraid."
EFT for Veterans CBS News Report
Watch one man's success story after years of suffering
EFT for War Veterans Video Highlights
This video that I'm posting is an excerpt from a film that Gary Craig has recently released. When I first saw it, it was gut-wrenching to hear how deeply so many are suffering. But after you see the tremendous relief that these vets are experiencing in a matter of a few days - it was completely uplifting.
Using EFT for Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) shouldn't be this underground secret. It should be available and known to everyone who needs it, most especially our vets and their families who are suffering.
If this issue is something that you or someone you love is dealing with and needs help with, I want you to know about this incredible resource.
War veterans can go to the website and enroll in six FREE and confidential EFT sessions through their Vets with PTSD Stress Program. Or go to BattleTap.org to view a tutorial and work on your challenges right from the comfort of your home as you are guided through 10 minute tapping sessions.
Qualified PTSD therapists and coaches are dedicated to helping all vets get their lives back and it's so exciting to think about the impact that EFT for war veterans will have.

"What's the Native American word for 'Indian tacos?' " one of my mother's dinner guests asked. "This is reservation food," she said, fishing the golden pillow of fried dough out of the cast-iron skillet, and patting off the hot oil with a paper towel. "We just call 'em 'Indian tacos.' "
Our people, the Northern Californian Modocs, traditionally hunted venison and harvested a water lily called wokus. Indian tacos are made with ground buffalo meat, commodity cheese, beans, fry bread, salsa, and sour cream. They taste like hot summertime powwows and big family holidays.
It may not be the food of my ancestors, but it's definitely the food of my people.
A week before the election, I was hell-bent on spending Thanksgiving protesting alongside my mother and the Standing Rock Sioux Nation. Ever since I was young, when my mother has gotten fired up at night after dinner, it's usually because she's talking about the need for sovereign native nations to unite against the federal government — which is exactly what is happening right now at Standing Rock, where more than 250 tribes have united against the Dakota Access Pipeline. First Nations haven't come together like this since the Battle of Little Big Horn, so I thought, "What better way to spend Thanksgiving?" I looked at flights, and made a list of supplies while dreaming about experiencing this historic event with my bad-ass mom, continuing the traditions of our ancestors, and fighting for the land rights of indigenous people.
Following in my grandfather's footsteps, my mother has gotten her hands into the mess that is tribal politics. She's run for tribal council and is currently serving on the advisory committee for this year's restoration powwow. Her ideas are radical and include policy suggestions like tribes growing and selling industrialized hemp (as the Oglala and Navajo have attempted) and building a Trump-style wall around every reservation so police have to go through a checkpoint in order to enter.
Of course, water rights, and the encroachment of them, is an issue that's far from unknown to the Klamath Tribes, including Modocs. I remember the day ranchers from town formed a "bucket brigade" to steal from our tribe's reservoir in protest of our treaty-protected water rights. A giant metal bucket was erected in front of the county courthouse a few months later to memorialize their theft.
My mother's best friend at the time had been on the brigade. That was almost two decades ago, and the two women still no longer speak.
"We know that water is life, and we as a people cannot survive in its absence," wrote Klamath Tribal Chairman Donald Gentry in his letter of support to the Standing Rock Tribe.
This is not just about water. It's about protecting the last shreds of what we have left after the generations of genocide and systematic deprivation of our rights and dignities.
Unlike my grandfather and several generations that came before, I didn't have to grow up on the reservation in Chiloquin, Oregon, and I was never forced to go to an Indian school. The legacy of my heritage comes mostly in the form of economic insecurity, fry bread recipes, and a deep mistrust of government institutions. I'm proud to come from people who fought what has been called the longest and most expensive Indian War against the U.S. government, and I feel as though it's part of my heritage to continue that fight. Because, as we've seen in the past few months, there will be many more battles ahead.
For months now, hundreds of first nations people alongside their allies have been protecting land, water, and a way of life even in the face of bitter cold and violent assaults from militarized law enforcement. As reports of horrific violence at Standing Rock began to surface — water protectors being kept in cages, attacked by hounds, hosed down in freezing temperatures, and mangled with "non-lethal" weapons that rip skin and break bones — my brave, beautiful mother told me with fear in her voice that it was too dangerous for us to go. This was no longer just a protest; it was now the front lines of a war.
This world, this life, these bodies — they all seem so much more breakable than they did a few weeks ago. They say it gets worse before it gets better, right? As I eat leftover buffalo meat in the moonlight while my mother sleeps safely in her bedroom, just two walls away, I quietly purchase wool socks, milk of magnesia, and instant hot packs from the water protectors' wishlist, and I pray it doesn't have to get too much worse.

Human Remains Found near Car Factory Could Be Child Killer's Missing Victims
By Leda Reynolds On 11/6/20 at 10:36 AM EST
News Crime Human remains
Human remains found near the U.K.'s Jaguar Land Rover car factory could belong to a child killer's missing victims.
Bones were discovered on land off Damson Parkway, Solihull, on Wednesday, near to where excavation work is being carried out to expand the car factory site.
Now speculation is rife that the remains could belong to missing schoolboys Patrick Warren and David Spencer, aged 11 and 13 respectively.
Victim Tortured With Shock Collar and Boiling Water Found Injured in Bushes
Couple Tortured Children With Zip Ties and Electrical Cords, Police Say
Sexual Abuse of Young Child at Preschool Live-Streamed, Police Say
The children were living around a 15-minute drive away from the site in nearby Chelmsley Wood when they disappeared on Boxing Day in 1996.
Paedophile Brian Field was also living near the car plant when the boys vanished.
And four years after they boys' disappearance, Field was stopped for drink-driving in Solihull and a swab taken upon his arrest helped police crack an unsolved case when his D.N.A was matched to a sample obtained from murder victim Roy Tutill, who was kidnapped as he thumbed for a lift, raped and his body dumped in woodland in 1968.
File photograph of police tape. Human remains have been found near a car plant in the U.K. prompting speculation the remains could belong to the missing victims of a child killer who lived nearby.
Field, who had a string of convictions for sexual assault on children, was jailed for life in 2001.
However, on the tenth anniversary of Spencer and Warren's disappearance, police announced they were interviewing Field for the first time in connection to the missing boys.
He denied having been involved in their disappearance but police have never ruled him out.
Field, an odd-job gardener, would use land near Damson Parkway to dump his waste.
And although in 2006 police drafted in diggers and forensic archaeologists to sift through soil samples before a watchful media, no trace of the boys was found.
Now people in the area who have followed the plight of the missing boys hope the families can find peace if the bones prove to belong to the children.
The car factory is just minutes away from the land excavated 14 years ago.
Facebook was awash with speculation about discovery.
One woman wrote: "I do hope it is the boys. Those poor families."
And someone called Tracey Roberts said: "Would be nice if was remains of the 2 missing lads from Solihull years ago give parents peace."
Someone else called Clare Roberts said: "They searched around years ago for those 2 young boys that went missing and were never found from Chelmsley Wood."
A spokesman for West Midlands Police said in a statement to Newsweek: "We're investigating after human remains were discovered on land off Damson Parkway, Solihull, on Wednesday..
"The area has been cordoned off for further searches to be carried out.
"The bones will undergo forensic and archaeological analysis.
"There is no information linking them to a criminal investigation at this stage."

Q: I would like to detect if a specific Microsoft Hotfix has been installed on a user's system using WIX. What's the simplest way to achieve this? I have been doing a bit of reading on this, but I am starting to suspect this is more and more work.
I thought I would be able to simply scan the registry for the hotfix in question. In attempting to do so I learned that hotfix IDs are not stored in registry anymore. Instead, MSFT encourages one to go through their Windows Update API.
Clearly, the Windows Update API is not inherently supported by WIX. Does this mean I need to utilize a custom action, interact with the Windows Update API, return the result to WIX, and then control code flow with that result?

A: Check out WMI's Win32_QuickFixEngineering class. You would have to write a custom action to make a WMI query against that class to see if you get an instance for the hotfix you are interested in and then set a Windows Installer property with the result.  From there you could use it in a condition element of some sort depending on your requirements.

A variety of supplies can be utilized to construct raised beds. These embrace brick, stone, and wooden. In case you use wooden, ensure that it's untreated and naturally rot resistant. Some good woods are locust, cedar and cypress. Utilizing untreated wood is particularly important for veggie gardens, as a result of chemicals from treated wood may leach into the soil, affecting your meals.

You need not purchase all new plants to have a profitable organic garden. Try utilizing plants that are within the landscape.

Extras on the Set of The Joker Had to Pee in a Locked Train Car
Filed to:the joker
Joaquin Phoenix as The Joker
Image: Backgrid
Working on The Joker is no... heh... joke. (Oh god, please don't fire me.)
Production has begun on The Joker, the latest reincarnation of the Batman-universe character, this time played by Joaquin Phoenix, who I feel it's important to point out has the same haircut as a medieval knight. The movie reportedly takes place in the '80s and Phoenix plays a failed stand-up comedian who turns to crime, which seems believable given the male stand-up comedians I know.
TMZ reports that while filming a scene in a Brooklyn subway station, extras on the film were locked in a train car after two hours of work. The extras reportedly banged on the doors of the car because they needed to take a bathroom break but eventually had to pee in between the cars. (Seems like a prank the Joker would pull.) Now what's scarier: Phoenix's clown look or the potentially horrific labor violations happening on set?
According to the report, SAG and Warner Bros. are looking into the incident, but Jezebel has also reached out for updates from both as well and will update this post if they respond.

'The Word Gay has been Banned but People use it in the Boys' Toilets whenever you go in': spatialising children's subjectivities in response to gender and sexualities education in English primary schools
Hall, JJ (2020) 'The Word Gay has been Banned but People use it in the Boys' Toilets whenever you go in': spatialising children's subjectivities in response to gender and sexualities education in English primary schools. Social & Cultural Geography, 21 (2). pp. 162-185. ISSN 1464-9365
This paper critically analyses children's (6–11 year olds) contradictory, socio-spatial responses to 'gender and sexualities education' in English primary schools. Drawing on ethnographic, interview and focus group data from an 18-month study, the paper foregrounds 'formal' and 'informal' spaces of learning in order to illustrate how children's gendered and sexualised subjectivities are both constituted within – and constitutive of – the spatialities of schooling. Utilising subjectivity and performativity theory after Butler, a 'good student' that performs 'acceptance' of liberal discourses of gender and sexual diversity in classrooms is distinguished from a 'good peer' that is simultaneously compelled to reinstate (hetero)gender/sexuality in the playground, toilets and corridors. These contradictory sociospatial stances, which came to the fore in focus groups that defy 'formal' or 'informal' categorisation challenge gender and sexualities education centred on equalities and anti-bullying. Findings from this study point to the urgent need to acknowledge and counter the dominance of wider heteronormative ideals.

Who and Why We Are… and What We Do
Nearly thirty years ago Nola White served in the Peace Corps in Honduras, helping isolated mountain communities develop gravity-feed water systems. Later, she returned from time to time to visit her friends in these communities, and with each visit she was reminded of the things the communities needed that a modest amount of money could provide. In 2002, with a group of US friends, she founded HCSC, as a non-profit tax-exempt organization, to raise money for those things.
HCSC immediately sought participation from the folks we worked with, and by 2004 the Honduran Non Profit, Fundación Eco Verde Sostenible, or FECOVESO, had been formed and began to share Nola's role. The Board of Directors is composed of elected representatives of the communities in which and for which the organization will hold and protect land, plus a representative of HCSC and from 1 to 3 other Hondurans committed to the organization's mission. Their mission statement reads: "To support community efforts to protect the environment of Northwest Honduras and promote the health, education and well-being of the people." By 2016 FECOVESO was 'doing it all' with little guidance from HCSC. With two part-time employees, the Board receives requests for the resources needed for community projects. They then participate in community planning meetings, help develop realistic project budgets, arrange for purchase of land or building materials, and sometimes help arrange further support from other organizations and government agencies. Projects have included...
Watershed Acquisition
In just over 10 years, we have funded the purchase of 17 parcels of mountain land in watersheds supplying gravity-feed systems serving 16 communities.
We have purchased quantities of barbed wire so that communities can fence cattle out of their water sources, and we have helped with watershed reforestation.
Water System Development
In conjunction with other agencies, we have provided crucial funding for the development or expansion of gravity-feed water systems.
Community Incorporation
We have funded the legal process required to incorporate communities so that they can hold title to community lands, gain title to such lands.
School Improvements
We have funded a variety of badly needed repairs, improvements and expansions of local elementary schools (carried out by the communities themselves).
Teacher retention has been a problem for isolated rural schools where there is no adequate housing for teachers. We have funded the construction of teacher housing in two communities. We also provide annual bonuses for teachers who complete a full year's work in isolated communities.
For descriptions of specific projects, see our annual newsletters.
FECOVESO, Our Local Honduran Partner
FECOVESO (Fundacion Eco Verde Sostenible) is a regional land trust and community development organization initiated through Nola's community organizing efforts and now an important partner in our work. All of the watershed lands acquired with HCSC funding are owned and stewarded by FECOVESO, which also negotiates new watershed acquisitions. We now provide ongoing support for FECOVESO operations, including salary for part time staff and travel expenses for board members and we have established an account that allows FECOVESO to provide project assistance to communities (using the same "must be agreed to by all and benefit all" criterion used by HCSC). For more on FECOVESO activities see our annual newsletters.

Can Ayurveda Help Slow the Ageing Process?
While ageing is inevitable, that doesn't mean it must occur prematurely. One of the most significant areas of concern with premature ageing is the decline in the appearance of the skin. But the skin reflects inner health. So, the ancient philosophy of Ayurveda can slow ageing and significantly improve vitality by approaching the body as a whole.
It is thought that we all progress through phases of the three doshas in our lives: from the earth and water of kapha in childhood, to the fire and water of pitta in youth. Vata is the third stage, comprised of space and air. It is noticeably lacking water and is directly associated with the dryness our skin takes on as we age.
The Ayurvedic goal of balancing your dosha, or mind-body constitution, for optimum health has the additional benefit of slowing the ageing process. An imbalance in the vata dosha is particularly associated with premature ageing and an acceleration of natural ageing processes. This is because of vata's association with dryness and thinness.
For adequate hydration, it's vital to drink eight glasses of water each day. This will not only help the processes of your body function adequately, but will improve the appearance of the skin.
Top up hydration and give your skin some additional care with indiraa Age Recharge Serum and Moisturiser. Indiraa is Sanskrit for youth and beauty. These products contain Vitamin C which is important for maintaining skin elasticity and Indian Frankincense for targeting the free radicals which accelerate ageing. The Pro-Youth Complex has been specially formulated to directly reach and repair skin cells' DNA.

Kamal Rashid Khan : Son Of A Gun
No, I am not referring to the gun locket that hangs around his neck. I am really pissed off by this guy who comes with loads of attitude. Wonder where he got that kind of arrogance and the delusions of being a star.
Anyone watching Big Boss 3 will recognise this stubborn cranky man as the main attraction/distraction of the reality show. He is foul-mouthed and short-tempered and his tall claims would leave the biggest of braggers to shame. He claims that his drinking water comes from France and milk from Holland, what hogwash! He claims to be a multi-millionaire but his comfort level in the confines of Big Boss jail was admirable. He felt so much at home in the jail, he just rolled on the raised platform like a dog rolls on the ground.
But what I found most disconcerting was the fact that he was bullshitting in front of BigB, one of the most humble men on Earth. He felt no regret about his outburst on Rohit Verma and his brutal attack on fellow inmate, he definitely needs some therapy. He also had a war of words with Raju Shrivastav, a guy who usually is cool and composed, but noth this time. Raju gave it back to KRK which he could not handle. Even on previous occasions he misbehaved with other inmates like Claudia and Tanaz.
What was worse was that, he was justifying himself in the eviction episode. He was showing as if he made a sacrifice for Sherlyn Chopra. He was the most-hated character in the house, he did not perform any task and he had a bad attitude. No wonder all housemates voted him out last week. But the rising TRPs lured the producers in duping the voting public and retained him for another week, hoping that he would reform. Yeah! jerks like these never change. He just kept revealing his character flaws one after another.
The truth is that, he came to Big Boss home only to create ruckus and generate some publicity for himself. He was successful initially, in grabbing eyeballs. But later we all realised that he is not just putting up an act, he is truly full of shit. I even doubt he has a fan base that he keeps bragging about. Anyways, good riddance to bad rubbish.
Much to BigB's credit, he played the tolerant and forgiving father so well. Long live BigB and goto hell KRK!

BigB Gets Big Bucks For Hosting Big Boss
Its stale news that BigB will be anchoring Big Boss. The fresh news is that, he is commanding a whopping 1.5 crore per episode. That's like, 126 crore for the 84 episodes that he will anchor.
While SRK got paid 1 crore per episode for Panchvi Paas, which of course failed, both Salman and Akshay charge around 80lakhs per episode for 10KaDum and Khatron Ke Khiladi, respectively. But BigB, being the Big Boss gets the biggest pay packet.
All said and done, the man has some screen presence. His latest ads on tv, for the promotion of Big Boss, looks fabulous. He brings so much grace to the nauseatic reality show, in just the ad; wonder what's gonna happen in the show. Looking forward to the evictions in the show!

The survivor's income from all sources must be below the VA's Maximum Allowable Pension Rate MAPR and they must have a "limited" estate. The veteran must have an other than dishonorable discharge and at least 90 days of active military service, at least one day during wartime. We strongly advise applicants to consult with the Tarrant County Veteran Service office to seek assistance with applying for this benefit. We can assist the widow with completing the application. This may help reduce delays in receiving benefits or even prevent denial of benefits. Give us a call at 817-531-5645.
