Thursday, October 14, 2021. Iraq did not have a fair and free election.
Iraq elections were supposed to prove something. And the US government really wanted that. They want Mustafa al-Kahdimi to have a second term as prime minister and they want the elections to send a message to the world. And a message has been sent, it's just not the message that the US government was hoping for.
The Iraqi people are not fooled by the government that has been imposed upon them. They are not fooled by the politicians and officials who promise to represent them but never do. Maybe if, like in the US, they'd lived under the current system for over 200 years, it woul dbe different. But 'democracy' in Iraq is still a new thing and the Iraqi people know there is something better, that there has to be, then what is being imposed upon them.
This shows in the record low turnout. It shows in reactions to the results.
Some see the results as a "scam."
Mina al-Orabia (FOREIGN POLICY) provides a walk-through:
On Sunday, Iraq held its fifth national elections since the removal of Saddam Hussein in 2003, with the national parliament's 329 seats at stake. While final results have yet to be announced, the biggest losers appear to be pro-Iranian militant groups, which have already said they'll reject the outcome and have issued veiled and not-so-veiled threats of violence.
Another loser of the election is Iraq's struggling democracy itself. Believing their system to be manipulated, about 60 percent of eligible voters stayed away from the polls. That hasn't kept the government and election monitors from touting the vote as a success—it went relatively smoothly, there were no incidents of violence, and most voters had easy access to polling stations. Electronic voting and biometric registration cards had been introduced with the promise of eliminating the kind of fraud that undermined the last elections in 2018.
However, the Iraqi government and Independent High Electoral Commission promised to deliver the results within 24 hours of the polls closing, which would have been Monday night. Instead, the results of only 10 provinces were announced on Monday, with Baghdad and eight other provinces still trickling in. When the electoral commission made the initial results public online, its website crashed as Iraqis rushed to see the results. A delay in electronic vote counting meant that some boxes had to be counted manually without external monitors, further undermining Iraqis' trust.
The elections and the results aren't credible -- not to the outside world, not inside Iraq. PRENSA LATINA notes:
Former Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi on Thursday said that due to mistakes in the procedures of the Electoral Commission, there is a lack of credibility in Sunday's election results.
Al-Abadi said in a tweet that he was among the first to support an early parliamentary elections that would win popular confidence, but the recent polls failed in that objective.
Meanwhile, Hadi al-Ameri, Head of the Conquest Alliance (al-Fatah Alliance), expressed his rejection to preliminary reports of vote counting.
Some in the press are rushing to spin the results as a mark against Iran.
They are imposing their wishful eye glasses on others.
Iran and Iraq are neighbors. They will get along. They will squabble. It's been that way for decades. They have links and they have barriers. You'd be better off arguing the election was a reproach to the militias. I don't know what to say here so I'm just going to say it. The US government is stupid beyond words. It's wanted, for years and years, to turn Iraq against Iran. But they never grasp how. It's fairly obvious how. And it's not in the way they've done it. I'm going to stop there because I don't want to help empire. But all the US government is doing right now is ensuring that Iran and Iraq will resolve conflicts.
This is nonsense:
Iraq: Pro-#Iran forces slam preliminary legislative elections results as 'scam'
middleeastmonitor.com
Iraq: Pro-Iran forces slam preliminary legislative elections results as 'scam'
Shia parties loyal to Iran yesterday denounced the results of the Iraqi legislative elections, describing them as 'manipulation' and a 'scam'. The Fateh Alliance
You can say "Iran-linked." But "pro-Iran"? Are we going to include others in that? Certainly, the KDP in Kurdistan is pro-Iran. Does Hero Talabani make a move without darting off to Tehran first? Not a significant move.
Iran and Iraq are neighbors. There are many Iraqis who are 'pro-Iran." And that same group can -- and does -- include pro-Iran Iraqis who are also pro-Iraq and want an independent Iraq.
What's passing for analysis is soggy and ill defined.
Some of the rush to spin Iran as the loser is also about trying to move the spotlight off the US. It's the US government that imposed the corrupt system in Iraq. It's the US that back the current prime minister -- the low turnout can -- and should -- be read as a reflection upon him. This election was a debacle for the US government and for it's 'mission' in Iraq.
Thanks to Mina al-Oraibi for getting it right regarding the Commission's promise that they'd have the results on Monday -- and that they didn't. And apologies to her because until the person I was dictating this snapshot to this morning said it was "Oraibi," we have spelled it here "Draibi" -- and that's been for years. My apologies.
I have no idea why the Commission would make that promise. For over two weeks, we noted that as follows:
In one surprising development, Dilan Sirwan (RUDAW) has reported: "Iraq's electoral commission aims to announce the results of the upcoming parliamentary elections on October 10 within 24 hours, they announced on Thursday following a voting simulation."
It was never going to happen. But they made the promise and they weren't able to keep it which is one more thing being pointed to on social media with some suggesting that they weren't able to do that because the results did not go as they wanted so they were rigging it.
That's one possibility. I don't subscribe to it but I could be wrong and often am. What I find most appalling is the lack of census. I'm surprised by how many adults were registered to vote -- I'm going by the commission's published figure for 2020 that we noted earlier this week. Every adult is not registered to vote. The CIA's estimate -- an estimate -- is 40 million. Iraq is a land of widows and orphans. 21 years-old is the median age. It's past time that Iraq held a census and I would question every election held until they do at this point.
This election was not transparent and it was not fair. I am no fan of the militias -- I'm opposed to them being part of the government (as security forces) and I see the bulk of them as thugs and call them that here regularly. But the Iraqi government made them part of the security forces. To have done that and then not allowed some to early vote? That's not fair. That's not a free election. As security forces, they were deployed around Iraq on election day. If they couldn't early vote, they had to return to their homes to vote and for some that wasn't possible.
If we did that to any security forces in the US, it would be denounced as unpatriotic. Joe Lieberman helped destroy the 2000 election, please remember, by going on NBC's MEET THE PRESS and responding that US military ballots should be counted even if they didn't meet the regulations.
I don't know how Mustafa gets away without having to publicly weigh in on that.
I don't support the militias being part of the Iraqi government. All the problems that they cause ar problems we noted here -- years ago. Because they tried to make them part of the government for years. But it doesn't matter right now what I think about whether they should be government forces or not, they are government forces.
And some were deprived -- by the government -- of the right to vote.
That's a corrupt system and that's not a fair and free election -- and I don't care how many foreigners you dub "observers" -- it doesn't make it fair.
People are protesting for many reasons.
And it's amazing that the press wants to talk about low turnout but doesn't take the time to note that many disabled and challenged voters were deprived of the right to vote. Weeks before the election, Human Rights Watch loudly warned about the barriers for this group and called for this issue to be addressed. After they published that call, they raised it on their Twitter feed at least once a day. And yet news outlets supposedly want to address low turnout but don't have a minute to devote to how one group was not equal to all others and faced hardships and obstacles that others didn't.
I marvel at what passes for news analysis from the major outlets.
Let's wind down with this from Burn Pits 360:
Jon Stewart's Apple+ Show Premieres
The Problem With War:
Burn Pits & Sick Veterans
On September 30th, "The Problem With Jon Stewart" premiered on Apple+ and we are so proud and honored to have been his first guests to discuss his first "problem" with what's happening in America -- and that is veterans dying from burn pits exposure.
We were introduced and became friends with Jon Stewart back in 2019 when he heard about Le Roy's story and the stories of the many veterans we advocate for. After his successful fight for New York City First Responders who were suffering similar fates after the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks, he took up our cause and has been a fierce ally and advocate since.
Since this program aired, support for our veterans suffering from burn pits exposure has been beyond what we can imagine.
We've been in this fight for our veterans for over a decade and we're glad to see this issue getting the attention that it deserves. We have other projects in the works that we look forward to sharing with you.
"The Problem With Jon Stewart" can be seen starting Sept. 30th and features Rosie & Le Roy Torres of Burn Pits 360. Click the photo to watch a clip.

Honoring Heroes That We Have Lost...
SFC (Ret) Frederick Timothy Slape retired from the Army after 20 years of service on August 31, 2012. He was diagnosed with Stage 4 Adenocarcinoma Lung Cancer with Metastatic Brain Tumors, due to his extensive exposure to the burn pits during his 2 tours in Afghanistan. Just 9 weeks after his diagnosis, on October 22, 2015, he passed away which was only 3 years after retirement. His wife Diane has been an ardent advocate for Burn Pits 360 in honor of her late husband's legacy.
LISTENING IN...
Earlier this Summer, Burn Pits 360 teamed up with Grunt Style to launch a new podcast called "Gaslighting the Warfighter" which focuses on the injustices our veterans face after returning home from war, and spreads awareness that they are being denied health and compensation benefits after being diagnosed with respiratory and other exposure-related health conditions.
The show is hosted by Marine Veteran and Grunt Style CSO Tim Jensen, as well as Rosie Torres of Burn Pits 360. The podcast features political activists, epidemiologists, and various other medical experts that discuss how military service-members that return home from war are facing numerous roadblocks when it comes the VA, dealing with the various illnesses, and also how Americans can get involved to support those veterans.
Click here to check out all episodes.
Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Marco Rubio team up with Rep. Raul Ruiz to pass meaningful burn pits legislation.
Bipartisan and bicameral legislation by the Senators called the Presumptive Benefits for War Fighters Exposed to Burn Pits and Other Toxins Act, and its companion legislation introduced in the House by Rep. Raul Ruiz would support over 3.5 million veterans exposed to toxic burn pits while serving overseas. Visit Warfighters2021.com to learn more about and support the War fighters bill.
Senator Jon Tester who is Chairman of the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee had unveiled sweeping legislation that would also provide veterans suffering from toxic exposure their due benefits and care by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). This bill has been passed out of the Veterans' Committee and will be going to the Senate floor for a full vote.
We encourage all of our subscribers and supporter to contact their Member of Congress and US Senator to push for this legislation to be voted on and passed so it can be signed into law as soon as possible. They move when we apply pressure. Visit Warfighters2021.com to learn more about our efforts behind this legislation.

BURN PITS 360 BULLETIN BOARD
NVLSP Announces Program for Free Representation of Veterans on VA Disability Claims Based on Exposure to Burn Pits
The National Veterans Legal Services Program (NVLSP) – a nonprofit veterans service organization that has been representing veterans for free since 1981 – is opening its doors to representing veterans on claims for VA disability benefits for diseases related to exposure to burn pits. You can read about NVLSP on its website – www.nvlsp.org. If you would like NVLSP to consider representing you on your VA burn pits claim, send your name and email address by November 15, 2021 to ryan.kelley@nvlsp.org. Ryan Kelley will then let you know the information NVLSP needs to decide whether it can take on your case.
WARRIOR HOPE NETWORK
Burn Pits 360 is proud to announce the establishment of our Warrior Hope Network. This program will provide access to our various network partners that are providing many types of healthcare modalities at either a discounted rate or under full scholarship grant. Our partners are providing services such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy, stem cell therapy, detoxification, as well as nutritional, emotional and spiritual support. We will begin taking applications for participation in this program in January 2022.
Our pilot program launched in the Spring of 2021 with an initial cadre of 4 veterans undergoing treatment at the NorthStar Hyperbaric Clinic in Tucson, AZ. These treatments were made possible through the support of a wonderful 501(c)3 charity, Healing Arizona Veterans. All four of our veterans came from other areas of the country and due to the length of treatment and the accompanying logistical support demands that go along with that, Burn Pits 360 provided a communal home free of charge so they could have a place to rest and heal while undergoing treatment without worry of how to pay for accommodations while away.
We are currently looking for additional providers to expand our network across the United States. If you are interested in joining in our efforts, please email bpadvocates@burnpits360.org.
We here at Burn Pits 360 would just like to thank all our donors, subscribers, and others for always fighting for our veterans. We honestly would not be able to do this without your continued support. Your support means the world to us.
If you are interested in making a recurring donation of $10 a month, please consider doing so here.

was a feudal domain under the Tokugawa shogunate of Edo period Japan, located in Echigo Province (modern-day Niigata Prefecture), Japan. It was centered on Murakami Castle in what is now the city of Murakami, Niigata.

History
During the Heian period, the area of Murakami Domain was part of a huge shōen estate called "Koizumi-shō", controlled by the Nakamikado clan, a cadet branch of the Fujiwara clan. Following the Genpei War, the area came under the control of the Minamoto clan, which appointed the Chichibu clan, relatives of the Hatakeyama clan as administrators. The Chichibu later changed their name to the Honjō clan. The Honjō built the first iteration of Murakami Castle during the Meiō period (1497-1501). The Honjō greatly expanded their territory during the Sengoku period and became embroiled in the battles between the Uesugi clan and the Takeda clan. They pledged fealty to the Uesugi, and Murakami Castle became a major stronghold of the Uesugi against their powerful enemies to the north, especially the Date clan and the Mogami clan. However, when Uesugi Kagekatsu submitted to Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1590 and was transferred to Aizu, Echigo Province came under the control of Hori Hideharu and Murakami was assigned to his retainer, Murakami Yorikatsu in 1598 as a 90,000 koku holding. He was confirmed in his holdings after the Battle of Sekigahara by the Tokugawa shogunate. However, his son, Murakami Tadakatsu was dispossessed in 1618 for murdering one of his retainers and for the inability to maintain order in his household and was exiled to Tamba Province.

He was replaced by Hori Naoyori and the domain was increased to a 100,000 koku nominal kokudaka, although the actual revenues of the domain were closer to 170,000 koku. Under the Hori clan, the castle town was developed and expanded, and new industries were promoted. In 1642, his grandson, Hori Naosada died at age 7 without heir, and the domain came under attainder. The Hori clan survived through a cadet line at Muramatsu Domain.

The domain then went through a number of changes in control during a brief period. Honda Tadayoshi was transferred from Kakegawa Domain in 1644 and transferred to Shirakawa Domain in 1649. Matsudaira Naoyori from Himeji Domain arrived in 1649 and ruled to 1667 when we was returned to Himeji after widespread revolts over taxation. In 1667, Sakakibara Masamichi arrived from Himeji. During his tenure, the donjon of Murakami Castle burned down and was not replaced. His son, Sakakibara Masakuni was transferred to Himeji in 1704. The rotation between Murakami and Himeji continued, with Honda Tadataka arriving in 1704. His son, Honda Tadanaga was transferred to Kariya Domain in 1710. He was replaced by Matsudaira Terusada from Takasaki Domain, He returned to Takasaki in 1717, trading placed with Manabe Akifusa, a close confidant of Shōgun Tokugawa Ienobu. His adopted heir, Manabe Akitoki was transferred to Sabae Domain.

In 1720, Naitō Kazunobu was transferred to Murakami from Tanaka Domain. The Naitō continued to rule Murakami to the end of the Edo period, giving the domain much-needed stability. The 6th Naitō daimyō, Naitō Nobuatsu, served as Kyoto Shoshidai and 7th Naitō daimyō, Naitō Nobuchika, served as  Kyoto Shoshidai, Osaka jōdai and rōjū. The 8th daimyō, Naitō Nobutami died in 1868, so the domain was without a ruler going into the Boshin War. The domain initially fought against Shōnai Domain, but after the appointment of Naitō Nobutomi as daimyō, changed its allegiance to the new Meiji government. After the Meiji restoration, and the abolition of the han system in 1871, the domain became part of Niigata Prefecture.

Holdings at the end of the Edo period
As with most domains in the han system, Murakami Domain consisted of several discontinuous territories calculated to provide the assigned kokudaka, based on periodic cadastral surveys and projected agricultural yields.

Echigo Province
30 villages in Mishima District
81 villages in Iwafune District
83 villages in Kambara District

List of daimyō

Naitō Kazunobu
 was a daimyō under the Edo period Tokugawa shogunate. Kazunobu was the grandson of Naitō Nobunari via his second son, Naitō Nobunari, who was a 5000 koku hatamoto.

 was the 5th Naitō daimyō  of Murakami. Nobuyori was the second son of Naitō Nobuoki. He was born in Murakami, and adopted as posthumous heir upon his brother Naboakira's unexpected death. He was received in formal audience by Shōgun Tokugawa Ieharu in 1765 and was granted the courtesy title of Kii-no-kami. He died in Edo in 1781 at the age of 34. His wife was a daughter of Matsudaira Tadatsune later of Obama Domain.

Naitō Nobuatsu

 was the 6th Naitō daimyō  of Murakami. Nobuatsu was the eldest son of Naitō Nobuyori. He was born in Edo, and became  daimyō in 1781 on the death of his father.

In 1868, feigning illness, he refused calls by the shogunate and opened negotiations with the Meiji government, but opinion in the domain was divided, and due to the influence of Nobuchika, the domain sided with the Ōuetsu Reppan Dōmei during the Boshin War.  With the defeat of the pro-Tokugawa forces in the Battle of Hokuetsu, he returned to Murakami and committed seppuku on August 28 at the age of 19.

Basil Mountain Mint Pycnanthemum clinopodioides Torr. & Gray
Pycnanthemum clinopodioides
Lamiaceae (Mint Family)
Critically Imperiled or Imperiled globally - At very high or high risk of extinction due to rarity or other factors; typically 20 or fewer populations or locations in the world, very few individuals, very restricted range, few remaining acres (or miles of stream), and/or steep declines. More information is needed to assign either G1 or G2.
This species has the smallest range of any northeastern Pycnanthemum. It was first collected in New York in 1817 with reports continuing up until 1893. This plant was thought to be extirpated from New York, but after a 104 year absence it was rediscovered. Since its rediscovery, two new sites have been located. The species name derives from its resemblance to the European calamint, Clinopodium.
There are three known populations but two of these are quite small. One population is greatly threatened by competition from aggressive non-native plants. This plant is likely limited to the trapp rock along the Palisades, but disjunct populations may be encountered in calcareous areas where numerous other Pycnanthemum species are located.
Populations have been recently discovered and no short-term trends have been established. After missing from the New York flora for over a hundred years, it is unclear if it was here alll along or if this plant is expanding its range.
Historically, this plant was known from northern Manhattan and southern Westchester County. These historical sites are considered extirpated, but new populations have been discovered in the Palisades and Harlem Valley. Two of these populations are very small. Most likely, this plant is far less common today than it was 200 years ago but there is little evidence to support this statement.
Populations are threatened by succession due to lack of fire and by the encroachment of invasive plants, especially black swallowwort (Cynanchum spp.). One population may be affected by hybridization with other Pycnanthemum species at the site.
This species is greatly threatened by succession and aggressive non-native plants. Aggressive non-native plants should be eliminated from sites supporting this mint and a regular fire regime should be considered to reduce the impact of natural succession.
There are still questions regarding the taxonomy of this species. More specifically, it is not clear if this represents a hybrid or is now a true species with hybrid origins. A range wide review of the entire genus is desired.
In New York Pycnanthemum clinopodioides has been found on dry on south or west-facing slopes on rocky soil. These sites are open oak-hickory forests, woodlands, or savannas, with lots of exposed bedrock. This plant may prefer alkaline soil conditions, as several of the sites are on trapprock (diabase, a typically high-pH igneous rock) or calcareous bedrock. (New York Natural Heritage Program 2007). Locally near the coast (Gleason & Cronquist 1991). Dry to moist wooded slopes, thickets and shores, rather local (Fernald 1970).
Appalachian oak-hickory forest (guide)
A hardwood forest that occurs on well-drained sites, usually on ridgetops, upper slopes, or south- and west-facing slopes. The soils are usually loams or sandy loams. This is a broadly defined forest community with several regional and edaphic variants. The dominant trees include red oak, white oak, and/or black oak. Mixed with the oaks, usually at lower densities, are pignut, shagbark, and/or sweet pignut hickory.
Calcareous red cedar barrens (guide)
A small-patch calcareous rocky summit community occurring on dry, south-facing to southwest-facing slopes and low summits. These sites are characterized by stunted, sparse woodlands with small grassland openings.
Rocky summit grassland (guide)
A grassland community that occurs on rocky summits and exposed rocky slopes of hills. Woody plants are sparse and may be scattered near the margin of the community. Small trees and shrubs may be present at low percent cover.
Acer saccharum (sugar maple)
Aster undulatus
Carex foenea (hay sedge)

Tilia americana var. americana (American basswood)
Triodanis perfoliata (common Venus's looking-glass)
Viburnum rafinesquianum
This plant is only known from alkaline to circumneutral areas with shallow soil of the Palisades and Harlem Valley. Historically, this plant was collected from upper Manhattan near Inwood and possibly other nearby locations.
As a globally rare plant with relatively specific habitat requirements, distribution is localized. Currently known from Massachusetts, Maryland, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, District of Columbia, West Virginia, and North Carolina. There is apparently a disjunct population in Indiana. Reported (but unconfirmed and maybe misidentified?) from Texas. The core of its range is limited to southern New York, northern New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, and Maryland.
Basil mountain-mint is a perennial wildflower that grows up to a meter tall. It has square branching stems that are covered with short, curved hairs mixed with longer, straight hairs. The leaves are relatively narrow, mostly more than 3 times as long as wide, lance-shaped and with very short leaf stalks. The upper leaf surface has scattered hairs and the lower surface has longer hairs especially on the main veins. The branches are topped by loose clusters of small, light lavender, purple-spotted flowers. In fruit the flower clusters are loose enough to see the individual branchlets inside.
The stem of this mint, as with most mints, is square. This mint's stem is also pubescent with short-curving and longer-spreading hairs. The leaves are relatively narrow, mostly more than 3 times as long as wide, lanceolate, acuminate, and tapering to petioles. The inflorescences are relatively loose and many of the flower cluster branchlets are evident in fruit. The calyx is 3.5- 5mm. The calyx teeth are deltoid to acuminate and unequal with the lower ones 0.5-2 mm.
This plant cannot be identified definitively without fruit or flowers. An entire plant with the stem, leaves, and inflorescences should be collected to allow for proper verification.
Other narrow leaved mountain mints from similar habitat (Pycnanthemum verticillatum, P. virginianum, P. torrei, and P. tenuifolium) generally have a more compact flowering head and calyx lobes that are all of equal lengths. Another similar mountain mint (Pycnanthemum incanum) will generally have wider leaves (1.5-5 cm wide) with irregular teeth and very hairy leaves.
This mint flowers from early August to early September. Fruits may persist to early November, long after the leaves have succumbed to frost. Surveys for this plant should occur in August to mid-September when one is likely to find the plant in flower and/or fruit with the leaves still in good condition.
The time of year you would expect to find Basil Mountain Mint flowering and fruiting in New York.

Milwaukee Bucks Week 3 Recap: Questionable Road Success
Escaping the chilling winter temperatures as early as November, at least after their time in Minnesota, the Milwaukee Bucks likely enjoyed some time away from the snowy state of Wisconsin. Packed with intriguing matchups between world-class superstars, especially the one between Kawhi Leonard and Giannis Antetokounmpo, Week 3 was going to be a treat for all NBA fans in these early season clashes.
Monday evening, the Bucks were in Minnesota in a battle against the thriving, yet depleted Timberwolves side. Their main superstar, Karl Anthony-Towns, was suspended in Week 2 following an altercation with Joel Embiid during a game. For this reason, the Bucks were favored heavily and this was deservedly so.
After battling somewhat for the first quarter, the Bucks pulled away with this one. They led the entire game and especially built upon their lead in the second half, outscoring the Timberwolves 70 to 49 and at one point sustaining a 32 point lead. In the end, they won by 28 points, scoring a whopping 134. Headlined by another monstrous 34-point night from Giannis, along with other good nights from Eric Bledsoe and Khris Middleton, there was a key performance off the bench. As predicted in the Bucks roundtable, Donte DiVincenzo would showcase his talent and sprout as a young talent for this Bucks side. He was 6/11 with 17 points and 7 rebounds off the bench, indicating to Buddenholzer that he may have to start considering him as a potential starter.
On Wednesday night, the Bucks were in Los Angeles with a much greater appreciation for the warmer temperatures. Battling Kawhi Leonard and the Clippers, most would argue that this is a potential matchup for the NBA Finals this season. However, Kawhi Leonard controversially did not suit up for this game, meaning that the Clippers were without both him and Paul George.
Even without their top two players, the Clippers still posed a significant threat to the rather shaky Milwaukee Bucks side. They outscored the Bucks 28-30 in the first quarter but slowly fell behind in the second quarter. However, the Clippers fought back from being down by 17 points and tied the game midway through the third quarter. Despite the shift in momentum, another dominant performance from Giannis, who had 38 points, 9 assists, and 16 rebounds, paved the way for another crucial Bucks victory. Similar to Week 2, the Milwaukee bench shined yet again. George Hill and Kyle Korver were impressive with 24 and 17 points respectively. Given that at least one of the starters is prone to have a rough night, these bench performances are essential.
On Friday night, the Bucks flew out to Utah for their final game of the week. The Jazz, who unlike the Timberwolves and Clippers, were going to be a true test to the Bucks because almost all of their quality players were healthy. Defensive Player of the Year, Rudy Gobert, along with new signings such as Mike Conley and Bojan Bogdanović, were inevitably going to cause the Bucks some problems.
Although the Bucks were expected to win, the Jazz completely dominated the first half, outscoring the Bucks by 20 points in the first half. Down by 22 points near the end of the first half, it just seemed to be one of those nights for the Bucks. As some fans may have turned off the TV in disappointment, the Bucks tenaciously fought their way back into the game, scoring 39 points in the third quarter and cutting the deficit to 7. Demonstrating their will to battle, the Bucks managed to tie the game and even lead by 1 point with 5:47 remaining. Nevertheless, the Jazz pulled away and led 92-100 with just 1:31 remaining. Amidst this run was another frustrating and controversial sequence of events as Giannis managed to get his 4th and 5th personal fouls in a matter of just 40 seconds. As the Bucks fought back late, it was no surprise to see Giannis pick up his 6th personal foul and foul out of the game, ending with 30 points and 13 rebounds.
Down by 6 points without Giannis, the Bucks had under a minute to tie the game; that is just what they did. Paired with a couple of free-throw misses from Rudy Gobert, a layup by Bledsoe brought the Bucks to just a 4 point deficit. Next, brilliant defending by George Hill gifted the Bucks another chance and they took it graciously as Sterling Brown made it 98-100 with another layup. The Bucks were down two points with 29 seconds remaining, meaning that the Bucks did not need to foul. A miss by Bogdanović and a defensive rebound gave the Bucks a chance to tie it. To their support, there was a loose-ball foul on Rudy Gobert that brought Khris Middleton to the line to have a chance to tie the game. With thousands of fans screaming in his ears, Middleton sank both free-throws and brought the game level at 100. This meant the Jazz had a chance to win it with 8 seconds remaining. However, great defense from George Hill blocked Donovan Mitchell's jump shot and the Bucks were gifted an unbelievable opportunity to win it with 2 seconds remaining.
As one may expect, Buddenholzer was going to draw up the play for Middleton to take the last shot. Coming off a screen from Brook Lopez, Middleton did receive the ball from the inbounder, but he caught it awkwardly and seeing a defender in his face midway through his jump shot, Middleton attempted to pass the ball to Lopez and in the process, traveled. Of course, he only shaved 1 second off the time clock and the Jazz had one final chance to win it. Out of a timeout, the Jazz gave it to Bojan Bogdanović who hit a game-winning buzzer-beater to leave the Bucks heart-broken.
It was another ambiguous performance from the Bucks because although the Bucks showed their hearts and determination, only three starters scored in double digits: Giannis, Bledsoe, and Middleton. The three players had a combined shooting of 26/64, which needs to be better. They needed more help from the other two stars and the bench.
While it was impressive to see them come out with wins in Minnesota and Los Angeles, given both games were away, it still must be said that each of the wins was against weakened sides. It is important to secure these wins, nevertheless, but they are not should no they should not be used as a basis for determining the success of the team so far. As we progress into the upcoming weeks, it will be interesting to see whether the Bucks can defeat teams that are at full strength. They definitely have the talent, but Giannis needs to be a little more careful with his fouls and the coaches need to draw up plays that are less predictable.
This is not to say that the Bucks are not performing well. They still are 6-3 on the season and bench players such as George Hill, Kyle Korver, and Donte DiVincenzo are continuing to show their talents as they fulfill their roles adequately.
The Bucks end their road trip tonight against the new-look Oklahoma City Thunder and look forward to returning to the Fiserv Forum on Thursday night against their rivals, the Chicago Bulls. Perhaps the most important game of the week will be on Saturday against the Indiana Pacers, who managed to acquire the Bucks' young superstar in the making, Malcolm Brogdon.

Butter chicken (letterlijk vertaald boterkip) of murgh makhani (Hindi: मुर्ग़ मक्खनी) is een gerecht, afkomstig uit het Indiase subcontinent, van kip(filet) gemarineerd in een licht gekruide tomatensaus. Butter chicken wordt vaak geserveerd met naan en/of rijst.

Voorbereiding
De kip wordt 's nachts gemarineerd in een mengsel van yoghurt en kruiden (waaronder garam masala, gember, knoflookpasta, citroen of limoen, zwarte peper, koriander, komijn, kurkuma en chilipoeder). De kip wordt vervolgens gegrild, geroosterd of gebakken, al naargelang de voorkeur van de kok.

Makhani, de saus, wordt gemaakt door boter, tomatenpuree en diverse kruiden te verhitten en te mengen. Vaak wordt komijn, kruidnagel, kaneel, koriander, zwarte peper, fenegriek en verse room toegevoegd. Soms wordt ook cashewpasta toegevoegd voor een dikkere jus.

Als de saus klaar is, wordt de gekookte kip in stukjes gesneden en gekookt tot alles goed gemengd is. Daarna wordt het met witte boter, verse room, gehakte groene chili en gepureerde fenegriekbladeren gegarneerd.

Water scarcity a growing concern on Australian farms
Coping with increased scarcity of water needs to be a priority concern for agricultural businesses, according to a recent report from the Australian National University.
The study, Global Water Issues and Insights, was released last month and outlines the growing importance of water regulations in countries within the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
As water resources decline around the world, farmers and agribusiness owners need to remain aware. Clearly, the agricultural sector relies heavily on water resources to grow the food that is so important to sustaining the human population.
According to the OECD, it takes around 1,000 cubic metres of water to produce the amount of food an average person eats in one year. This figure does not take into account wasted food or the differences in diet between particular people.
For instance, a serious meat eater could require up to twenty times more water than someone who lives primarily off cereals and grains. This is because meat rearing requires feed to be converted into flesh – through consumption – as well as the water it takes to keep livestock thriving.
Around 85 per cent of water for agriculture across the globe comes from rain stored in the soil, with the rest accessed through irrigation. However, this figure is much different in Australia, with frequent droughts increase the reliance on alternative water solutions.
The OECD report forecasts that by 2025, 1.8 billion people globally will be living in regions with "absolute water scarcity". Farmers and agricultural business owners in dry regions must therefore look for water solutions that do not rely on rain water and surface water.
Fortunately, this is where Hydrosmart water treatment technology comes in. Hydrosmart generates the resonance frequencies that efficiently combat scaling and salinity, and so help farmers to unlock the potential of water sources that were previously considered unusable. Not only can this water softening solution improve water resourcing, but trials have shown significant improvements in plant growth when Hydrosmart technology is installed.

Q: Right shift operator for signed numbers I am reading about shift operators in C.
Right shifting n bits divides by 2 raise to n. Shifting signed values may fail because for negative values the result never gets past -1: -5 >> 3 is -1 and not 0 like -5/8.
My question is why shifting signed values may fail?
Why value of -5 >> 3 is -1 and not zero?
Kindly explain.

A: It is simply implementation-defined:
From 5.8 Shift operators

The operands shall be of integral or unscoped enumeration type and
  integral promotions are performed. The type of the result is that of
  the promoted left operand. The behavior is undefined if the right
  operand is negative, or greater than or equal to the length in bits of
  the promoted left operand
[...]
If E1 has a signed type and a negative value, the resulting value is implementation-defined.

A: Shifting with signed integers is  implementation defined, but if the architecture you're using has an arithmetic shift, you can pretty reliably guess it with use it.
It's because of how negative numbers are stored in the computer. It's called two's complement. To switch the sign of a two's complement, you NOT its bits and add 1. For example, with an 8 bit integer 00011010 (26), first you NOT to get 11100101, then you add 1 and get 11100110 (-26). The problem comes from that most  significant bit being set. If when you shifted it put 0s in at the left, the number would become positive, but if it put 1s, then the lowest possible result is 11111111 which is -1. This is how arithmetic shifts work, when you shift the computer adds bits that are the same as the left most bit.
So to be explicit, this is what is happening (using 8 bit integers because it's easier and the size is arbitrary in this case): 11111011 gets shifted 3 to the right (so 011 goes away) and since the most significant bit is set 3 1s are inserted at the top, so you get 11111111 which is -1.

We had a nice time chatting over high school memories and updates on our families last Saturday. It's our friend's birthday and she cooked some delicious food for us. She was really tired from that but she managed anyway. One of us brought a car so we were so comfortable on our way home. It's convenient to travel on your own car or ride in a friend's car than commuting but sometimes driving requires lot of patience. This is especially true when roads are not in good condition, if there are traffic jams or if you will have to need emergency road service in the middle of the expressway. This is what I'm always telling to my husband so he will not need any help on the road. On every travel it's important to check your car and all the essential things needed to travel, be it near or far.


This is a recreation of the entire world of The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons!
Many Zelda worlds have been lovingly remade in Minecraft, but I have yet to see a completed version of Oracle of Seasons (which I consider to be an underrated title in the series).
I've had a ton of fun crafting the world of one of my favorite games, and have spent a total of 202 hours of in-game time working on this.
I hope you enjoy your 3D tour through this awesome game world!
Every location, town, cave, and dungeon is constructed block-for-block from scratch.
The overworld locations are built with a 3x3x3 scale (meaning that every square in the Oracle of Seasons game is represented by a 3 block wide cube in Minecraft).
The caves and dungeons use a 2x2x2 scale to prevent them from seeming too empty or spacious.
The map's spawnpoint also includes a "Warp Scroll" item which allows the player to teleport to any major location in the game. That way anyone can easily find their favorite areas!

0 probearcher3 I have seen many zelda maps made and played many or the original zelda games myself but one I have not seen and would love to see hit the minecraft streets is my personal favorite zelda game called spirit tracks. if u would make this map I would totally recommened it to other players.
0 GlitchyGuy I had tons of fun exploring this! It's also cool to use mods and destroy the map with explosives. Total respect and fist bumps to the map creators. Overall this is one of my most favourite LoZ games and seeing it recreated block-by-block in 3D and in Minecraft was totally awesome!
That's an easy fix! Check inside the folder. I have had this happen to me on multiple occasions, and usually the actual map is inside. I'm sorry people are being jerks about this to you. It took me months before I figured it out!
In a nutshell, you have to take the map files out of the original file and then place the map files in the saves file.

It could easily be called the Institution of Organic & Sustainable Farming & Gardening, a revered center of learning that upholds an environmental ethic while helping growers produce crops the natural way.
But, of course, everyone knows it as Harmony Farm Supply & Nursery, the iconic farm and garden business on a leafy campus along Gravenstein Highway North in Sebastopol. As one of the pioneers in organic and sustainable agriculture, Harmony Farm Supply has been promoting cutting-edge, earth friendly practices long before the those values became part of the public dialogue. And Harmony Farm Supply is growing as strong as the sustainable farming movement itself.
In many ways, this earthy emporium has nurtured the movement by offering the inspiration, information and supplies farmers and gardeners need to be organic and sustainable. It's all done with passion, commitment and an abiding love of the land that Mother Nature has provided. "Harmony Farm Supply really is an institution, a part of a community that has grown tremendously over the last thirty-five years. It's a community of farmers and gardeners who are concerned about what they are putting in their soil and on their plants and, ultimately, in the food they grow and eat," said Rick Williams, who with his wife Leah Taylor owns and operates Harmony Farm Supply & Nursery. Rick and Leah said Harmony would not be the respected institution it is today without the dedicated employees, past and present, who embrace the conservation and environmental stewardship that is at the heart of Harmony.
Harmony Farm Supply & Nursery's leadership in conservation and environmental awareness have earned it Sonoma County Farm Bureau's 2015 Luther Burbank Conservation Award. The award recognizes Harmony's role in cultivating the next generation of land stewards and fostering a community-wide ethic in preserving natural resources, like water and soil.
Harmony Farm Supply & Nursery will be honored at Farm Bureau's Love of the Land celebration on July 16 at Richard's Grove and Saralee's Vineyard near Windsor. Also being honored are Paul Martin, an agriculture leader from Petaluma who is the recipient of the Sonoma County Farm Bureau Hall of Fame Award, and the Sangiacomo Family of Sonoma, named the Farm Family of the Year.
Williams and Taylor said they are honored to receive the Luther Burbank Conservation Award on behalf of Harmony because it recognizes the important work their employees do every day helping farmers, gardeners and landowners to conserve natural resources and preserve working farmscapes. That is accomplished by supporting organic farming, developing water-saving irrigation and solar power systems for agriculture, residential and commercial businesses. Harmony is also leading the way in rain-water harvesting systems for farms, homes and businesses and offering food producing plants and drought tolerate native plants to replace thirsty lawns in urban landscapes.
Williams and Taylor became, as they put it, the "new stewards" of Harmony Farm Supply in July of 2007. They purchased the business from founders Kate Burroughs and David Henry who started Harmony Farm Supply in 1980, a time when back-to-the landers were settling in Sonoma County. These new age farmers were committed to farming without chemicals and in ways that sustained the land for the generations to come.
During their 30 years as the owners of Harmony Farm Supply, Burroughs and Henry built their business into a thriving organic farm and garden emporium, which today attracts customers from a hundred mile radius and beyond. Harmony Farm Supply moved to its present site in 1990, adding a nursery and expanded retail store where farmers and gardeners can find hundreds of items that are tools of the organic trade.
Increasingly, said Williams, mainstream America is seeking more natural approaches to thwart pests and diseases and restore soil fertility. Williams said previous generations farmed and gardened without the knowledge or awareness of the potential harm of their choices, but that has changed. He said that today more and more people are concerned about their impact on the environment and human health so they are making choices that are more harmonious with nature.
"There's a social consciousness that has developed about conserving resources and protecting the earth. Harmony continues to be the place to go for advice, support and education about growing crops in an organic and sustainable way and living in a way that has less environmental impact," said Williams. Before Harmony, Williams held positions at Earthbound Compost in Penngrove and before that as vice president of operations for Healthy Planet Products in Petaluma. Williams said one of the primary attractions for customers is Harmony Farms Supply's knowledgeable staff with expertise in areas like irrigation, solar power, integrated pest management, organic pest control and soil health. He said it all starts with the soil.
"Our focus is the soil," he said, "Soil is the heart of it all when it comes to organic and sustainable farming. Healthy soil healthy plants." Many of the employees have been with Harmony for years, upholding the company's mission of nurturing, educating and providing services and supplies to the growing numbers embracing organic and sustainable production. Key employees include Angie Albini, Gary Portal, Patty Hamilton, Sharon Bushgen, Phil Morrison, Toña Marta-Marquez, and Chad Griffith. Williams and Taylor's son, Taylor Williams, 21, works at the family business as the accounts payable specialist.
Williams said as an institution, Harmony Farm Supply & Nursery is committed to spreading the word about organic and sustainable practices and teaching young people there are more sustainable ways to grow food. Harmony supports community service programs that foster sustainable agriculture and works with groups like the School Garden Network and School Garden Mentor Program.
"Our objective as an institution is to have a school garden in every school in Sonoma County," said Williams.

Abstract: A prototype of a phased array of 8 elements is being built at the Humain Radio-Astronomy Station by the Royal Observatory of Belgium. The main goal of this instrument is monitoring the solar activity in the band of 20–80 MHz using Software Defined Radio receivers and employing beam- forming techniques to track the Sun. However, because the operation frequency of the BRAMS forward-scatter system lies within the frequency range of such an array, an appealing window of opportunity opens for meteor science as well. In this paper we explore the possibility of using the expected capabilities of the Small Phased Array Demonstrator to register radio meteor echoes.


Do you sometimes find yourself in a place where the door doesn't quite have enough security? Maybe you're in a hotel room, a public bathroom that doesn't lock up correctly, or are renting a place that doesn't allow you to install your own locks or latches on a door, or perhaps you're not in a position where you can afford to install one.
Fret not, because as it turns out, you can fashion your own simple lock out of a dinner fork that costs 25 cents! Yes, that's right. This video by Phil Crockett details how to do just that. By marking the depth of the door knob's nook, and then bending the fork at that mark with the use of a vice and a hammer, you'd already be halfway there!
The next bit requires a saw or cutting device of some sort, and it requires that your fork tapers off in the handle from narrow to wide. Simply saw off the part of the handle just before the fork's prongs, then if needed, sand it down so that the dismembered handle can fit snugly between those prongs.
All that's left is to assemble the lock on the door, and voila! An impenetrable lock that doesn't harm the door in any way and is decently sturdy and secure given its make. You can even sand down sharp edges and bring it along when you know you're going somewhere that may not have secure locks, and it's cheap and easy to fashion.

Despite Japan's initial steps towards developing an integration policy in 2006 and 2009/10, little has improved since 2010. Japanese integration policies improved by +1 point in 2018 with the establishment of "one-stop-shop comprehensive consultation centers for multicultural coexistence". These centers in over 100 locations across Japan provide foreign nationals with quick information and advice in many areas of life, from residence procedures to employment, health, social security and education.
Active information policy
Japan scores 47/100, slightly below the average MIPEX country (49/100) because Japanese policies still refuse to recognise that Japan is a country of immigration. This denial leads to contradictory policies that create as many obstacles as opportunities for foreign nationals. Japan's approach to integration is categorised as "Immigration without Integration". While Japan is a leader far ahead of the other countries in this category, its policies still deny basic rights and equal opportunities to newcomers. Foreign nationals can find some ways to settle long-term in Japan. However, Japanese policies only go halfway to guarantee them equal opportunities, (e.g., on health and education), while also denying them several basic rights, most notably protections from discrimination.
Japan needs to invest more on all the three dimensions, especially to guarantee immigrants with the same basic rights as Japanese citizens. The way that governments treat immigrants strongly influences how well immigrants and the public interact and think of each other. Japan's current policies encourage the public to see immigrants as subordinates and not their neighbours.
Foreign residents in Japan enjoy relatively favourable access to family reunification, permanent residence and the health system. However, foreign nationals and their children still face major obstacles to education, political participation and non-discrimination. Immigrants' children receive little targeted support in the education system in Japan, similar to the situation of other countries with low number of migrant pupils. Furthermore, potential victims of ethnic, racial, religious or nationality discrimination have little chance to access justice in Japan. Japan is one of the only MIPEX countries still without a dedicated anti-discrimination law and body. Japan is the among bottom three countries for anti-discrimination policies, together with other 'immigration without integration' countries.
Japan's approach is slightly ahead of poorer Central European countries with equally small and new immigrant populations, but far behind other developed countries, including Korea. In comparison to neighbouring Korea, foreign nationals in Japan face weaker integration policies in the labour market, education, political participation, and anti-discrimination. Besides Korea, Japan's policies are most similar on MIPEX to Israel and stronger than the other MIPEX Asian countries (China, India and Indonesia).
Labour market mobility: Halfway favourable: Japanese policies treat permanent residents equally with citizens and allow temporary workers to find basic subordinate jobs, but overlook many of their specific obstacles and needs for labour market integration. In comparison, countries with comprehensive integration strategies often provide all legal workers with better access to both general and targeted support.
Family reunification: Slightly favourable: While many foreigners are eligible to apply for their close family members, these families have fewer and less secure rights, including no right to an autonomous residence permit.
Education: Slightly unfavourable: As in other countries with few foreign pupils, mainstream teachers, pupils and parents receive limited support to target their needs, seize new opportunities for learning and implement an intercultural education throughout the curriculum and school day (see instead Korea, Western Europe and traditional destination countries).
Health: Slightly favourable: Japan's migrant health policies are more favourable than in the average MIPEX country, as the Japanese health system includes legal migrants and asylum seekers and provide them with information and support.
Political participation: Slightly unfavourable: Political participation policies, which are increasingly part of integration strategies in both traditional and new countries of immigration (e.g. Korea), remain slightly weak in Japan. Foreign nationals do not have the local right to vote and they are discouraged from broader participation due to limited support and opportunities.
Permanent residence: Slightly favourable: Most newcomers in traditional destination countries and in European countries take a shorter path to become permanent residents than in Japan. The path to permanent residence for newcomers in Japan's is long (10 years) and mainly linked to their ability to fulfil economic requirements. As in most countries, permanent residents in Japan enjoy a relatively secure status and equal rights in several key areas.
Access to nationality: Halfway favourable: While foreign nationals face naturalisation requirements similar to the average MIPEX country, Japan has yet to open up to international reform trends towards dual nationality for all naturalizing adults and citizenship entitlements for their children.
Anti-discrimination: Unfavourable: Japan's legal system is unfavourable for fighting discrimination in society. Victims seeking justice cannot turn to a dedicated anti-discrimination law or independent equality body. Japan is the bottom three countries for anti-discrimination policies, critically lagging behind the standards in Korea, Europe and traditional destination countries.

Q: Is there a way to get Selenium ChromeDriver script logs as events in .NET? I am using Selenium ChromeDriver to navigate to a website, that generates console logs. I know I can read these logs with chromeDriver.Manage().Logs.GetLog(LogType.Browser), but this is slow, and very inefficient because it returns all the logs whenever it's called.
I would like to do an event-based approach instead, so whenever a new log entry is generated, an event is fired in my C# code with the new log entry. I haven't found any resources online about this, so I hope someone can help me.


On Built to Destroy, Incite stick to their tent poles, propped up on groovy riffs and angsty vocals. There are plenty of great riffs and grooves to be had, but the pacing from one song to the next could be improved, and few riffs could've benefited from some more room to breathe. Regardless, Built to Destroy shows Incite throwing some hard punches. The album includes guest appearances by Kirk Windstein (Crowbar) and Chris Barnes (Six Feet Under) and is certainly a worthwhile addition to their discography.

As a buyer, what you most want to find is choice. The property market in Devonport is currently a haven of choice. As we enter autumn there are more properties for sale than we have seen for many years. A record level of 79 properties are currently on the market for sale. That represents a staggering 75% increase compared to this time last year.
A fresh new selection of 71 properties were listed over the 3 months of December, January and February. In the month of February alone there were 40 new property listings.
This rich shopping list of options is certainly attracting buyers, who are noticeably active in the market. Evidenced by the number of people attending open homes, which have been incredibly busy during February. However, all this activity and abundance of stock is not leading to higher sales.
A total of just 38 properties were sold in the 3 months to February. This was down 14% as compared to last year at a median price of $1.43m which was down 10% as compared to last year.
This sluggish pace of the local property market is replicated across the rest of Auckland as the pressure of bank lending restrictions continue to bite and buyers become more cautious. Having said that, the fact is that the right property, well-marketed, continue to sell. In just the past 2 weeks 2 properties sold within the first 7 days on the market. The key to success in this market is the right presentation of the property, matched to a smart marketing campaign and strong negotiation skills of the agent.
Drilling deeper into the latest statistics shows that the somewhat unexpected spike in median house prices in January of $1.82m was as predicted an anomaly. The 3 months to February saw the median sale price of houses return to the December level of $1.6m, representing a 12% fall compared to this time last year.
The January report heralded what was seen as a rejuvenation of the market for investment and owner occupied units, this on reflection now seems somewhat premature. That flush of life quickly petered out with sales and prices falling this month.

Is Jordan Gavaris Gay ?
Canadian actor, Jordan Gavaris is popularly known for his role in the BBC America and Space TV series, Orphan Black for which he was even nominated for the awards. Gavaris made his Hollywood debut from the series, 45 R.P.M. in 2008. Apart from his professional life, he came out to be a gay in 2017 and is in a relationship with American actor since years.
Jordan Gavaris was born Jordan James Gavaris on 25th September 1989 in Caledon, Ontario under the birth sign Libra. Gavaris is Canadian as per nationality and is of mixed race as far as his ethnicity is concerned; his father is a Greek immigrant and his mother has a northern European descent.

For his amazing performance in the series, he was nominated for an EWwy Award for the Best Supporting Actor in Drama Series. EWwy Awards honor Emmy-snubbed shows.
He has been more active in advocating LGBT rights ever since he came out.
Gavari is in a relationship with American actor, Devon Graye who is popularly known for his role in the series, Dexter. The couple met for the first time with the help of Gavari's co-star, Tatiana Maslany from the series, Orphan Black.
Sometime after their first meet, the pair began talking via Twitter and eventually started dating. The couple has been together for more than five years already. However, they seem in no hurry to get married.
In 2017, Gavaris accused Hollywood agent, Tyler Grasham of sexual harassment. He filed a case against Grasham for harassment and sexual misconduct.
Gavaris stated that the agent harassed him over the phone by inviting him to the dinner and even threatened him to spoil his career if he denied. After suffering many such inappropriate behaviors, Gavaris finally filed a suit against his offender.
Soon after the case was unveiled in the media, many actors like Blaise Godbe Lipman, Jake Edward, and Cameron Boyce also revealed about the sexual harassment by Grasham.

Even though his movies lost a lot of money; Curse of Chucky made $3.4 million while its production cost was $5 million and The Sea of Trees earned $825,577 from a production cost of $25 million, Gavaris has maintained a good wealth. His career in TV is another of his major source of income.
From 2012, Jordan Gavaris started dating American actor, Devon Graye. The couple dated for more than 5 years and they are in no hurry to tie the knot.

Andy Warhol collected everything from cookie jars to contemporary art, scouring auction houses, antique stores, and flea markets for new treasures to add to his many collections.
The Time Capsules are Warhol's largest collecting project, in which he saved source material for his work and an enormous record of his own daily life.
It is in Warhol's spirit of collecting that the Community Time Capsules and the Gen-Z Time Capsule were created. These time capsules are a collection of personal objects and stories that provide a window into Pittsburgh's rich immigrant culture as well as Generation Z's emergence as a defining force in contemporary culture
Andy Warhol's Time Capsule 21
Explore over 50 objects from Time Capsule 21 (TC21) , including photobooth photos, business records, personal notes and cards, record albums, newspaper headlines, and source material for Warhol's artworks. Full of material dating from the 1950s to the early 1970s, the contents of the box offer a lens to examine the diverse aspects of Warhol's art and life and the socio-cultural context of his time.
Browse Time Capsule 21
Community Time Capsules
Explore over 100 objects from local immigrant and ethnic communities documenting their journeys and contributions to western Pennsylvania. African American, Carpatho-Rusyn American, German American, Italian American, and Russian American participants mined their homes and communities, gathering photos, clothing, records, heirlooms, and other belongings recounting their stories through the objects they've collected.

Gen-Z Time Capsule
Generation Z—born between 1997 to 2012—is emerging as a defining force in contemporary culture, and yet for many these young people remain a mystery.
The Gen-Z Time Capsule is a first-of-its-kind exploration of these dynamic and multi-layered individuals, giving them the opportunity to further introduce themselves and their generation to the world by contributing images and videos of the items, people, places, beliefs, and activities that are most important to them.
Started in 2020, The Gen-Z Time Capsule project is a collaboration between the Learning and Public Engagement department at The Andy Warhol Museum and Harvard-trained educator, artist, author, and Gen-Z advocate John Schlimm, as well as the millions of Gen-Zers and others who work with them around the world.

Applicant, whose conscientious objector claim matured after receipt of his induction notice, was convicted for refusing to submit to induction. He thereafter sought modification of his sentence to enable him to submit to induction and obtain from the Army a ruling on his claim. He asserts Army regulations in force at the time of his induction did not permit such in-service review, and that the relief he seeks is implicitly authorized by Ehlert v. United States, 402 U. S. 99. His appeal now pending in the Court of Appeals concerns the propriety of such a procedure. Held: Applicant should be released on his own recognizance pending disposition of his appeal.

Wonderful walking country with miles of well kept footpaths plus access to so many local attractions, and probably the best selection of eating pubs and restaurants to be found within a few miles anywhere.
The Hayloft has been assessed as M3a by the National Accessible Scheme.
The Stables has been assessed as M1 by the National Accessible Scheme.
Finding it: On the B5470 road from Macclesfield to Rainow, the first part of the village is Kerridge End and the cottages are on the left between Calrofold Lane and Lidgetts Lane. Access is from the little lane, Lidgetts Lane (best approached from the Macclesfield side if you are not familiar with it), round the sharp left corner and the entrance to the car park is 10m on the left.
