Yoga clothes are the personal experience that some women carry clothes at some point in their lives when giving birth to their child. Yoga clothes mark a turning point in the lives of mothers who, after the arrival of their child, have a change of priorities in their lives. This change is also produced by the importance of this fact, by the responsibility of having a small child to care for. There are people who from an early age are very clear that they would like to start a family. Red Maternity Tank Los Angeles.
And in case of not being able to fulfill the dream of having a child, they need to perform a kind of grieving process by closing the door to a possibility that was so intimate and vocational. The maternal instinct is not universal There are also women who do not experience this maternal instinct at any time in their lives. Each person is unique and unrepeatable; therefore, there are many different paths that lead to happiness.
What are the yoga clothes and why For Two Fitness?
Yoga clothes is an apprenticeship, that is, no woman discovers what it means to be a mother until she experiences this experience in the first person and begins a stage of new responsibilities in which she has less time for herself. Yoga clothes is an experience that goes beyond age, that is, the bond that exists between mother and child is marked by the protection instinct that the mother always has towards her son even when he has grown up and can make his own decisions.
Combine a tunic with a black shirt. The dark silhouettes from head to toe stylize your torso, which is where the most voluminous parts of your body are concentrated. It attracts the look directly to the neckline with details of jewelry or embroidery. For feet, flat shoes, wedges or sharp low heels to give length to your legs. A sophisticated portfolio, a thick slave, and a watch complete this sophisticated and stylizing set. Red Maternity Tank Los Angeles.
Use a long, wrap-around neutral jacket (khaki, tan, gray or black) over a straight dark shirt or tank top. Use dark jeans to lengthen your legs and make them more slender with either a bell or straight finish, and boots with a fine heel or fine tip. Make sure that the seam of the shirt reaches at least an inch or two inches off the ground, otherwise, your legs would look shorter and wider. Use large or long earrings to attract the look. A long, silky handkerchief or long necklaces. Do not forget a large bag with a long handle to hang from the shoulder. These accessories will help to enhance the length of your line. Red Maternity Tank Los Angeles.
Wear a straight skirt to the knees to make your legs look longer under that low belly of elastic Red Maternity Tank Los Angeles or any other fabric, and combine them with comfortable wedge shoes. Look for a flashy V-neck tee, a pair of dangling earrings or a thick necklace to help deflect the little lady's looks. Choose jackets and blouses that are long so they can cover the belly. A bag completes the line.
A blouse with V-neck and empire waist defines your figure well, makes the eyes move up and accentuates your bust. If you coordinate with flirty glasses and earrings will keep the point of interest in the upper part of your body. Put on a short cardigan above to help balance your proportions. And since a low belly can make your legs look shorter, stylize yours with dark bell-bottomed trousers or elastic jeans and combine them with flat shoes that have some point. Red Maternity Tank Los Angeles.
To separate the best of the baby, consider wearing a dress with a clear horizontal separation, leaving a piece of color on the bust and another below it, and combine it with comfortable shoes, a necklace and slaves, and a bag of colors. Red Maternity Tank Los Angeles.
Clothes of the clothes The Red Maternity Tank Los Angeles is away from the favorite purchase of the all-woman at the yoga clothes and this time around also invested in the for two skirts. The very best thing clothes both is that they extend well above my belly and not with the help of an awkward "skin-colored" belly band. This means you can wear a regular shirt pulled up over my stomach and still look cute and there are no fussing clothes whether you properly covered and no need (at least for a long while) to invest in yoga clothes tops.


The legendary XTR is reborn!
Okay so let's cut to the chase, whilst there is plenty of exciting features tucked into each component that makes up the new groupsets, the biggest news (in our eyes at least) is the new 12 speed cassette featuring a MAMMOTH 10-51 range! The cassette is then matched with a slick new direct mount chain ring system, signaling a district shift of focus towards 1x drivetrains for the Japanese component powerhouse that has to date always clinged to the idea of 3x front rings. That said, the new XTR range will still offer 2x and a front mech for those diehard riders (that clearly still haven't gotten the memo…) In addition to the largest range rear cassette the market has ever seen (can we nic name it 'Pterodactyl' or is that too cheeky?) the other headlining piece of news within the new XTR range is the immense focus that they've placed towards their hubs and their decision to partner with some of the industries largest wheel makers which will see their hubs laced into the rims/spokes of a whole bunch of bikes next season, rather than trying to just push out their own complete wheel packages as they have done to date.
Developments in the drivetrain started from the position of minimizing gear change steps to give riders the optimum rhythm and cadence between each gear and ultimately the most overall speed. The result of this was the 51T sprocket, which comes after equal gear steps of 6T in the last three sprockets (10-12-14-16-18-21-24-28-33-39-45-51T) for an even cadence. XTR also introduces a 10-45T 12-speed cassette (10-12-14-16-18-21-24-28-32-36-40-45T) for faster or less steep MTB courses and less cadence shock. The 10-45T (CS-M9100-12) is for XC riders wanting small gear steps and the lightest set up, the 10-51T (CS-M9100-12) is for the trail rider to climb every mountain they face.
The 2-piston (BR-M9100) option comes with a lighter weight XC brake lever with the option to adjust the reach of the lever arm. The 4-piston brakeset (BR-M9120) also features a dedicated brake lever but with a tool-free reach adjust function, free stroke adjust function and Shimano's Servo Wave technology to give rapid pad-to-rotor action. Both calipers are made from aluminum, use a high rigidity brake hose and provide faster brake engagement with a shorter free stroke.
To match the redesigned caliper shape the brake pad shape also changes. Riders choosing the 4-piston caliper need the radiator finned pads (N03/4A resin/metal), whilst the 2-piston calipers fit the pads without fins (K02/4S resin/metal, with optional K02/4Ti Titanium backing plates). The rotor design meanwhile uses a revamped ICE-TECHNOLOGIES FREEZA construction to either reduce weight or boost heat dissipation. The 140 and 160mm rotors shed 5 and 10g respectively, whilst the 180 and 203 mm rotors were 20 °c cooler during testing with the 203 mm rotor also saving 30 g (vs RT99) in weight.

In 1994, Sheila and Charlie Perrin decided to build on the philanthropy they had long-shared as a couple by creating a permanent entity that would support those in need and allow their extended family to be part of the experience. Sheila Perrin explains:
Initially, we looked at our wealth as a gift to be shared with others, a way to give back to the 'less fortunate.' In the early years of the foundation's history, our grantmaking focused on giving to organizations that provided direct service to youth; it was an accepted way of doing 'good work' for others. Inherent in this way of thinking was the idea that the service provider knew best about what was good for their clients. By providing funding to direct service providers, funders and philanthropists were 'buying into' the strategy that together they knew best what was good for the population being served.
Over time, PFF experienced a dramatic shift in its thinking, brought about in large part by its second-generation family board members:
Gradually, the conversations at the foundation began to shift and questions were posed about the process of making decisions for a population that had no voice in those decisions. Part of these discussions included facing the reality that not much was changing as a result of our philanthropic strategy. The problems seemed persistent as we and many other foundations continued to put money into program after program aimed at helping underserved youth. Many good services were provided for visible and immediate needs, but the needle was not moving for creating real change in young people's lives. It is easy and admirable to provide goods and services to those in need, but it is not so easy to understand why these needs exist. Discussion around the root causes of these needs was limited, and real conversations with youth about their lives were almost non-existent. But listening to the voices of young people made total sense. Who better to know their experiences, aspirations and dreams than the young people themselves?
After several years of exploring investments in youth voice and engagement, in 2012 PFF decided to focus its mission on building environments that support youth as leaders of social change in Connecticut:
Our family is moving forward with a strong commitment to building confident leaders who will become engaged members of our society. These young people will question the status quo, suggest alternatives, think about solutions, and take action to change the conditions and policies that affect their lives and communities.
The change in mission has also profoundly impacted how PFF approaches its work and shifted its understanding of "philanthropy":
Our work requires us to abandon the mindset of "giving back to those less fortunate," and embrace the concept of "working with fellow community members." We have to open our minds to new and different voices. Our foundation has come to understand the importance of investing in systemic change to create equity in our communities. We must listen, understand that we do not have all the answers, and adapt.
Moving forward we fully expect that our learning, and therefore our story, will continue to evolve…

The exclusivity goes hand in hand with this Conquest of the Wild West lighter from ST Dupont. Indeed, it is a limited edition that has been produced only 1,500 copies.
This collection lighter reinforces the good reputation of the brand, which has already existed since 1872. The borders of the accessory are made of a rare and luxurious metal, which is none other than palladium, while the rest is tinted in black to form a very successful contrast. It recalls the Far West with the two opposite colt motifs on his hat, and his name is taken from this aspect.
This lighter can become a centerpiece of a collection, but you can also use it on a daily basis for class and style, or give it as a gift to a loved person. However, since it is gas operated, it must be recharged when it is empty. To do this, you must use ST Dupont's specific refills.

The Catholic Church's control over abortion policy has sparked a furious backlash in Poland
Posted: Thu, 12 Nov 2020 by Aleksandra Myslek
A ruling which effectively outlawed abortion in Poland has again highlighted the government's damagingly close relationship with the Catholic Church. But many Poles are now questioning the church's power, says Aleksandra Myslek.
On 22 October, in the middle of a dangerous spike in Covid-19 cases and with faith in the Polish government's competence diminishing, a ruling on the legality of what is purposefully called eugenic abortion was about to be heard. The same constitutional tribunal that was a subject of mass protests just a few years ago would announce if women have the right to terminate a pregnancy if it is known that the baby has serious defects, including those that will prevent it from surviving. The sense of tension in the country wasn't yet so palpable as few thought that the government-influenced tribunal would make a step so cruel and so dangerous as outlawing abortions in these circumstances.
The announcement brought a sense of complete disbelief. Pregnancy termination due to "serious and irreversible disability of the foetus" was ruled incompatible with the Polish constitution. The wrongdoing was obvious on so many levels. Raking over the issue during a world health crisis was thoughtless. But the added brutality of the verdict and the apparent law making by the judiciary caused a constitutional and ethical crisis.
Most commentators saw this situation as yet another government attempt to distract the public from its incompetence. If this was the case, the Law and Justice Party showed either a lack of respect for human life lost in the pandemic or very poor knowledge of the nation's views. Were those responsible blinded by the church's statistics asserting that over 90% of Poles are Catholic, which are based on the number of christenings and not actual practising members? Perhaps they weren't aware that public opinion is largely against further abortion restrictions. Did they not know that some of our neighbouring countries offered a much more liberal approach and would draw Polish women en masse, maybe even offering help in solidarity?
The answer may lie in the government's dependence on the Catholic Church.
Between 1956 and 1993 Poland had one of the most liberal abortion laws in the world, allowing terminations due to "difficult circumstances of the woman". This was an equivalent to the modern way of viewing the issue as one of health and wellbeing, as some medical professionals now propose. That paragraph was specifically removed from the legislation after intense and long lasting lobbying efforts from the clergy, who were feared by politicians for their power to influence people's political views.
This development wasn't entirely uncontested but the Polish electorate had a generally homogenous approach to Catholicism in the 90s, as it was seen as the unifying identity of the country that was still recovering from its turbulent past and the recent communist oppression. The government needed the church's steadfast support and thus sold the right of women to make choices about motherhood. Feminists never gave up the fight though and the subject kept coming back, sometimes because the left-leaning parties and NGOs asked for liberalisation of the law and sometimes because the Catholic conservatives demanded further tightening of it. Many debates and many huge protests took place but nobody dared to make changes to what was cynically called an abortion compromise.
Now, in 2020, the government seems to be reaching for the affirmation provided by the church's support one more time. It's a bow to the institution that is still thought to be able to make or break Polish politics. Perhaps the government is preparing to soften its ideological stance against LGBT people, as the EU reaches for dreaded financial threats in response. Maybe, the response to the pandemic is going so badly that the government expects public discontent that can only be remedied by ideological, religious consolation.
No matter the reasoning, the move was not a clever political distraction. The 2020 Poland is different from the 1993 one. Young Poles have felt that they are part of the bigger world for some time now, thanks to the high levels of literacy, technological developments, the EU, and knowledge of foreign languages. The generation that was ironically often called the John Paul II generation is not so attached to the Polish pope, who they view as a dubious historical figure. Young people are aware of their rights and already suspicious of the church due to its illogical stance on environmental issues, regressive aggression towards LGBT people, the multiple and well known paedophilia scandals and simply its pompousness, arrogance and glaring hypocrisy.
The recent ruling prompted the largest protests in Poland since the fall of communism. This seems like a breaking point; the protests unite many social groups.
This might be because the church forgot about another factor, which is perhaps specific to Poland. The country has a long history of feminism with a slightly different emphasis to its western friends. Of course, Polish women had to fight the common fight for equal rights, and the governmental response to domestic violence is still embarrassing. But somewhere along the way, Polish culture became centred around strong women.
It is a part of the patriotic duty to respect women and the country's comedic scene loves to remind everyone that women should be feared. Conservatives and liberals alike still let women first through the door and often stand up when one enters the room. Polish women belong to the most educated in the world and they have been well represented in executive, academic and political roles (even though the current ruling party is doing so badly in this respect).
The dissonance has been reflected in recent weeks. Faced with hardline Catholics questioning the Polish identity of the women's rights supporters and the fury of the Catholic Church trying to "save" the soon to die "unborn", the majority of Poles chose to stick with living women. It has helped them re-establish their cultural identity while rejecting the church's ideological inhumanity.
The road towards liberalisation of the abortion law seems longer than ever but something seems to have broken in the relations between Poland and the church. Although there is no question that many people still dogmatically believe in the absolute sacredness of life from the point of conception, many don't see the church as a fair player in the game anymore. Instead they see a cruel manipulator that will choose to inflict real suffering and take away human dignity in pursuit of ideological purity and control.
The lightning bolt in the image is the symbol of Strajk Kobiet, the women's strike movement in Poland.

GEORGE MAGOHA: SCHOOLS WILL NOT CLOSE DESPITE RISING CASES OF COVID-19
0 Bounce Nation October 23, 2020
Education Cabinet Secretary George Magoha now says there is no plan to close Kenyan schools again despite a worrying spike in COVID-19 infections.
He spoke to the media after a visit to several schools in Mumias and Malaba on Friday.
During the visit, Prof. Magoha said 3 million learners in Class 8, Grade 4 and Form Four resumed learning in the first phase of re-opening.
While underscoring the need for vigilance amid rising cases, he said the Education Ministry was working closely with the Interior Ministry in monitoring the situation.
"No one is thinking of reopening the schools and no one is thinking of closing them down, if a decision is to be made, it will be made based on facts," CS Magoha said.
During the address, Magoha said his visit to the region was aimed at debunking rumors rife in the media that the government was yet to deliver desks as promised.
He referred to a story that aired on Citizen TV earlier in the week, saying the carpenters showcased by President Uhuru had received a 30% of the total order of desks needed in Nairobi contrary to rumors.
"I want to debunk reports that the desks have been delayed, this is not true we are demanding quality, there was a story on Citizen about someone saying he has not been awarded the tender to supply desks, this is not true, he got a 30% of the total order," Magoha said.
At the same time, he dismissed reports that several schools had missed out on the ongoing Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) assessment.
According to Prof. Magoha, the assessment is an ongoing activity that will ensure all students are assessed.

The recently concluded third Test of the three-match Test series between England Sri Lanka came into headlines for a strange incident.
Although England managed to bag the Test in their favor after defeating the home team by 42 runs, the game was in news because of the Sri Lankan spinner Lakshan Sandakan's spell of bowling.
Sandakan bowled many no balls in this particular spell but the more surprising fact was that the on-field umpire S Ravi failed to take notice of the no-balls and allowed the balls as legitimate deliveries.
It was only when Sandakan dismissed Ben Stokes twice and the decision went to the third umpire for a check on the no-ball that it was discovered that in both these deliveries, the bowler had failed to comply by the front foot rule and hence Stokes survived on both the occasions. Stokes was initially dismissed on 22 and then again on 32 but for the no balls. The umpires had to allow Stokes to resume his innings in the middle.
After the entire incident bowler, Lakshan Sandakan's bowling became a matter of intense debate and discussion across the cricketing globe. Detailed analysis was done of his bowling. According to the ESPNCricinfo stats, Sandakan's 40% deliveries were actually "no balls" but umpire Ravi failed to take that into notice.
To argue for the case of the umpire, Sandakan's unorthodox and weird action made it extremely difficult for the umpires to keep an eye on his front foot. Had the wicket of Ben Stokes not fallen to no balls, perhaps Lakshan would have continued his no bowling spree.
Sri Lankan spin coach Piyal Wijetunge seemed extremely worried about his bowler's inability to deal with his "No Ball" problems. He suggested that it is possibly the first incident at the international level where a bowler has been so regularly bowling no balls.
He also went to say that this the first time that Lakshan had been going through something like this.


Roman Reigns was forced to relinquish the WWE Universal Title on October 22nd, 2018 because leukemia that was in remission for 11 years came back. This left a huge hole in the roster forcing WWE to re-write a lot of plans.
Mike Johnson revealed on PW Insider Elite audio that Roman Reigns is not in Phoenix and WWE has no plans to use him at the Royal Rumble either.
Roman Reigns' return would be a great Royal Rumble surprise and could even be the biggest of all time. However, that is not going to happen this time around.
As always, we are thinking about Roman Reigns and wishing him the speediest of recoveries.


The Truth About Women's Ab Workouts - Why Cardio Is Not the Answer Bangkagan – Be Job Search | Find Job Opportunities and Career Advice.
Time is precious commodity...and they aren't making any more of it. You don't want to waste time when working out your abs, especially if you are looking to get the best results possible. So for all of you out there who have been doing a gazillion crunches and sit-ups, even though this does practically nothing for your abs without a diet and mindset strategy...you need to listen hard. Doing all these reps will not take a single inch off your waist or melt any fat off your mid-section. If you truly want to transform your body and get the tight, firm abs you've always dreamed of then you need to make some modifications to your workout routine, diet and mindset to get jaw dropping results.
You ever notice those people you see in the gym each day that seem to be doing the same workout? Not only are they doing the same workout day after day, but they are doing it with the same intensity...or lack of intensity. You know the one I'm talking about - that person running on the elliptical machine, treadmill or stationary bike like a rat on an exercise wheel. They stare blankly ahead at the bank of television monitors, listening to their "workout mix" on an iPhone. They are moving along at a consistent pace...no alteration...staring with hope at the "calorie's burned" indicator...optimistic that this time they are losing weight.

K.V Kamath Is Going To Be The Next Finance Minister
'Nirmala Sitharaman Incompetent, Her Job Not to Tell Nation What to Eat': Rahul Gandhi Furthers Tirade Against FM Over Onion Remark.
Tirtha Gupta
Political and social networks are speculation regarding the appointment of Nirmala Sitharaman as Minister of Union Finance of India early by eminential banker Mr Kundapur V Kamath. KV Kamath 's recent resignation from office as President of the BRICS-led National Development bank has given steam to uncertainty. The government or the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party ( BJP) did not say whether Kamath was considered as Finance Minister.
As Prime Minister Narendra Modi is visiting thousands to see how the Indian economy can be restored, the rumour mills in New Delhi are bumping over a prospective finance minister, succeeded by the existing finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, shortly after the upcoming budget.
K.V. Kamath (Kundapur Vaman Kamath), former ICICI Bank President, is considered to be a front-runner. Kamath is presently President of the BRICS New Development Bank (Brazil, Russia, India , China and South Africa) Countries Alliance of Developing National Economies.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman attended a special board of governors conference on Wednesday and praised Kamath 's role 'in his stellar stewardship in a very quick shaping of the dream outlined in 2014 by the BRICS members.'
During a special Governing Board meeting via a video conference on Wednesday, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman expressed appreciation for Kamath's work 'for his stellar stewardship, which very quickly shapes the 2014 vision of the BRICS leadership.' 'The rapid response to COVID-19 through the launch of COVID-19'
In order to fight the Covid 19 pandemic, NDB promised to provide $1 billion each of its five members, and was ready to lend more. To date, 55 member country projects for $16,6 trillion have been approved by NDB.
In 2014, a big deal signed between India and China guided the NDB to become the first president from Shanghai. NDB 's current chairman Marcos Troyjo has been taken over, and the NDB 's vice chairman and Chief Risk Officer (CRO) Anil Kishora has been hired. Kishora served as State Bank of India's CRO until recently, and he was scheduled to retire in May.
In highlighting his 5th and final annual meeting last month of the NDB, Kamath said that as he prepares to hand it over to a new president he was personally happy and happy that NDB was left as a fully-fledged financial institution that "can be proud of its peers as a shoulder-to-shoulder."
The second term of Modi was not quite economically successful. The opposition pointed fingers to the failure of the Modi government to save the sloppy economy. Thus, for the NDA government led by the BJP, the economic recovery plan appears to be top priorities.
In the midst of businesses, however, it's moving for the PM to choose either an economist or a banker as India's Minister of Finance. Surprisingly, the name of the veteran banker KV Kamath who is the front-runner. The name of the former president of ICICI is circulating but you know that in two cases, the CBI and ED await interrogation of Kamath? He has allegedly been involved in two cases of bank loan fraud like Prannoy Roy, NDTV founder, who lent from Shell and lowered the Rs 40 crores. He has a mansion in the Cape Town of South Africa. This was when Chidambaram was the Congressional Finance Minister. Now the second case is his connection to Chanda Kochchar's disgraced CEO of ICICI.
As he was stationed in beijing because of NDB, the ED and the CBI were unable to reach Kamath. It is also known that Kamath was a buddy of the Ambanis and he lent Dhirubhai Ambani enormous amounts of loans. He was was reported to be an significant participant in separating properties between two Ambani daughters. So industry sources say, suggests Ambani could probably push his candidacy to the FM 's leading position in the country. The question now is one million dollars if Modi will boldly choose a tangled banker from the FM without worrying about the backlash, or if he would hold Nirmala Sitharaman as finance minister.

You have been informed of an approaching Judgment but you doubt this and do not take My Words seriously enough, or you would not make further earthly arrangements and only prepare yourselves for the day when My proclamations will come true. Although you do not know the day, it should suffice you that I, as your Creator and Father of eternity, have revealed it as shortly forthcoming, that I thus have informed you that it is time for you to prepare yourselves or I would not constantly repeat the admonitions and warning, but leave you without notice. And therefore you should pay heed that the deadline grows ever shorter and is expiring very quickly everywhere. All earthly worries are in vain for I will take care of My Own so that they will have what they need. The others, however, will not be able to hold on to anything, even if they associate with My adversary, even if they, at present and with his help, are prosperous in a worldly sense and continue to increase their possessions, be they earthly goods or honours or worldly wisdom. My adversary will not be able to protect them on the day of terror, since I want to bring people to their senses through the forces of nature, so that they will think of their God and Creator and entrust themselves to Him in dire adversity.
Then everything will fall prey to the forces of nature, nothing will be left for people except what I want them to keep. And therefore they should endeavour to gain My grace, they should unite with Me through deeds of love and heartfelt thoughts, they should speak to Me and listen for My answer, and they will reap a far greater reward than if they worry about their body's wellbeing, about earthly wealth and earthly progress. You should believe that soon will come to pass what I already predicted long ago; you should believe that there is not much time left and no longer worry how to gain earthly profits, for this worry is futile, as you will very soon realise.

I have an adjudication withheld/felony/battery from over ten years ago. I was never convicted and released from probation two years early for good behavior. I have payed my dues; court fees,anger management,community service and probation. Regardless if I admit to my background or not , I still can not find work, I have been turned down by big corporations like Walmart, and pending on my background from Home Depot. I can not work with children or elderly and had to drop out of nursing school. Now wanting to be a Vet Assistant because I love animals and a state license is not required; hoping this dream career is not crushed as well. Please help me get through this nightmare. It is my past not my present nor my future. I only defended my life, and could not afford a real attorney. Faced five years in prison if I was found guilty at my trial so I took a plea in my best interest not having a trial but now realizing it was in my worst interest. No matter how many years go by.
I believe you took the correct path with Withheld Adjudication. There is absolutely no need for an expensive trial which you may have lost and got an awful conviction on your record and also be out of a lot of money. This way you have no conviction on your record.
It seems that you are getting in your own way a bit. Let's start with applications. Employers are rarely interested in charges, just convictions. Typically, applications ask "Have you ever been convicted of a crime...." Since you have not been convicted, you should NEVER list it on an application if the application asks for convictions. The answer is "NO."
I hope this helps you feel more confident when applying for jobs.
Jobs for Felons: What is Withheld Adjudication?
My name is Steve. I am 24 years old. In 2009 I committed a crime consisting of Vandalism, Burglary, and Arson. I had never been in trouble my entire life and grew up in a strict household. I was with five other guys and I was the oldest. I was the only one to turn myself in and give a full statement on the matter. It landed me on a four year probation term and after that, it will be expunged from my record. (THAT WAS THE PLEA AGREEMENT). It happened in Tennessee and now I am currently living in Fort Wayne, IN.
There are a lot more jobs up here than down there but the problem I am facing is that when I go to a temp agency that IS SUPPOSED TO HELP FELONS FIND WORK they tell me that my current felonies together seen on paper would make it really hard for a potential client to take interest in my employment. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I have not been in trouble since my sentencing. I am a proud step father now of three and I have already completed two full years on my probation.
I'm sorry you are having so much trouble. I meet people everyday that have done some really stupid things when they were younger and are still paying the price as they get older. My advice to them is to apply, apply apply for as many jobs as they feel They are qualified for. I tell felons looking for jobs that finding a job is a numbers game. The more jobs you apply for, the more interviews you will get. The more interviews you get, the greater the chance you will find an employer who will give you a shot a job. Felons get hired everyday. It's all about finding job leads and applying.
I was into some things when I was younger that landed me in jail. Jail is a tough place to be but I made the best of a bad situation. I had a job which taught me respect for authority and patience through hard work. I can honestly say, today I am a different person than I was going in. If you give me this opportunity I'll make the most of it.
I am a felon residing in Birmingham, AL. I recently completed 1 year of probation and am finished with the whole process. I recently enrolled in a technical college for Information Technology. I have researched all that I can, and cannot find out about my prospects in this field. I have read a few books and my strategy is to stick to startups, small, and medium companies. I have plans to go into business for myself, but starting off, I will need a job.
Is my strategy sound, or should I pick a more inclusive niche? My overall goal is to become an application developer (apps for mobile phones, tablets, etc.).
You are on the right track. Smaller companies are less apt to spend money on expensive background checks. Ex-offenders and felons looking for professional jobs should always apply for open position by using resumes and well written cover letters. Using that method, the question of a criminal background may never come up.
In the meantime, make use of your local One-stop Career Center. Take a look at the video below. When starting your own business there are a few concerns. You may need health coverage, especially if you have a family. That's where having a job is helpful at least until your company is turning a profit.
I'm 52 years old, white male, MBA in Finance and MIS, BS in Computer Science and Marketing...worked in Mortgages with Village Bank and Credit Card Decisioning, Billing, and Marketing Websites with The Miller Bank (Star Bank).Village Bank and The Miller Bank/Star Bank both went out of business due to the economy. I've been unemployed for a while, since March 2008...there have been a few jobs thrown in here and there since then but they didn't last (Funeral Sales and Sr. Manager with a consulting firm).
The funeral sales position required me to be licensed in Life, Accident, and Sickness. I was completely honest during the interviews and application concerning past and a recent shoplifting arrest. I cleared the background check and was hired. I was denied a temporary license to sell insurance due to the shoplifting incident. The company fired me...yes, even though I passed their background check and the fact that they own the insurance company. Confusing, but true.
A DUI from 1989...I was slapped on the hand with an ARD sentence but the charge was not expunged.
In 1992/1993 My boss told me to take home the following...a water cooler, a fax machine, and a word processor because we were getting new equipment. I was arrested for "theft by taking" and "receiving stolen property"...both misdemeanors. I plead guilty because the company wasn't backing down. My ex-boss later married my ex-wife. Still, the charges are on my record.
Since I've been in Georgia in 1996...I married a widow and there have been domestic violence arrests but all "nolle prosse".
Also since 1996 in GA...In 2007 a shoplifting incident that was handled via a first time offender conviction..."nolle prosse", but not expunged.
And last year (2010) in Florida...another shoplifting incident that was handled via a guilty plea in absentia...adjudicated guilty. Since this was not "adjudicated withheld" I am not eligible to have this case expunged...ever. I have completed all probation and restitution requirements (fines and community service).
So...you can see when my background gets pulled there is a ton of things that show for me...all misdemeanors...all ugly.
I'm always honest on my applications and in interviews. With the state of the economy it appears I'm too big a risk...plus I know my age is a factor. So, I'm fighting a sketchy past and an age issue. I feel there is no hope.
But, you mentioned The United Way in your blog. I am a true professional from head to toe. Look as polished as any attorney or CEO during interviews. I know I can be of value to a corporation in some capacity. Do you think The United Way is my best place to start to rebuild myself and get back to work?
I hate to see convicted felons (aka sports stars like Michael Vick) return to society after having served their time and paid full restitution move back into society like nothing occurred. How does the little guy do that?
I'd appreciate any all information you may have for me.
For most ex offenders and felons looking for jobs the United Way is a great place to start. The United Way supports a number of organizations that have contacts to open positions. Perhaps a more polished professional like yourself may be better served by contacting your local S.C.O.R.E (Service Corp of Retire Executives) office. As the name implies, there are retired executives who serve communities in many ways. Perhaps you may find valuable contacts that could help you locate your next opportunity.
Another suggestion I often make ex-offenders and felons looking for jobs is to apply with cover letters and resumes. Often when applicants apply directly to employers this way, the question of a criminal record never comes up. Take a look at the video below. It outlines how ex-offenders and felons can use resumes sent with well written cover letters as a way to get interviews. This will let prospective employers the opportunity to meet the person before meeting the criminal record.
I have been free since Nov 2013, and I have been unable to find a job. I have two college degrees, and I am treating looking for a job, as work. Do you have any suggestions for me?
Unfortunately there are a lot of people out of work including college graduates. This is indeed a tough time to find a job but there are jobs available. I'm sure you have tried all of the online job search websites such as Indeed.com. Monster.com etc., but don't overlook other options of finding job leads. When you do find open positions, I suggest to my students to apply using a resume with a well written cover letter tailored to each specific job opening. Often when felons apply this way, the question of records don't come up. You should apply for every job you feel you are qualified for. Forget that you have a criminal record. Just apply. If the question of your record ever comes up, start your answer with, "I'm glad you are asking me about this because I want you to feel comfortable about hiring me..........."
I suggest to everyone looking for jobs use the services of your local One-stop Career Center. In addition to a long list of job preparation services, your local center has lists of open positions in your area. Be sure to speak to an employment counselor so that you can set up an online account. In many cases an online account will send you you email alerts when jobs in your chosen field become available.
You may even consider temporary employment. Employment agencies are often looking for skilled office employees for temporary assignments. Often temporary assignments lead to more permanent positions. The key to applying for temporary work is to apply to smaller, local agencies rather than large corporate agencies. Large nation-wide companies often have corporate policies that may prohibit hiring those with criminal records. Smaller, individually owned agencies are free to hire anyone they wish. make a list of all the agencies in your area and apply just as you would any other job.
This is a tough time to find jobs but hard work and determination will help you find more opportunities that will lead to more chances to get hired.

Philosophical Hermeneutics and Literary Theory
Joel Weinsheimer
In this lucid and elegantly written book, Joel Weinsheimer discusses how the insights of Hans-Georg Gadamer alter our understanding of literary theory and interpretation.
Weinsheimer begins by surveying modern hermeneutics from Schleiermacher to Riocoeur, showing that Gadamer's work is situated in the middle of an ongoing dialogue. Gadamer's hermeneutics, says Weinsheimer, is specifically philosophical for it explores how understanding occurs at all, not how it should be regulated in order to function more rigorously or effectively. According to Weinsheimer, Gadamer views understanding as an effect of history, not an action but a passion, something that happens to the interpreter. Gadamer offers a new model of historical understanding that is based on metaphor: it fuses the different into the same but, like metaphor, does not repress difference. Similarly, Gadamer's critique of the semiotic conception of language redresses the balance between difference and sameness in the relation of word and world. The common thread in the contributions of philosophical hermeneutics to literary theory is the multifaceted tension between the one and the many, between sameness and difference. This appears in metaphor and application, in the complex dialogue between the past and present, and between the interpretation and the interpreted generally. In the final chapter of the book, "The Question of the Classic," Weinsheimer explores the implications of this analysis of Gadamer's hermeneutics for the current debate concerning the study of the canon and the classic.
"Weinsheimer ably explores some neglected implications of Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics. His well-written book will add new insights to current debates about the interpretation of texts and the revision of canons."—Paul Hernadi, University of California, Santa Barbara
"I have read Weinsheimer's book with great satisfaction. It is lucid and temperate, it is argued with intelligence, and it must be thought a considerable contribution to the problems of interpretation and canon which are at present exercising so many people. I should be surprised if it were not welcomed by all who interest themselves in these questions."—Frank Kermode
"Each chapter is lively, lucid, and clarifies Gadamer's standpoint in relation to literary theory. Highly recommended."—Choice
"[A] lucid and thought-provoking study."—Nicholas Davey, British Journal of Aesthetics
"[In this] timely book. . . . Weinsheimer deals excellently with . . . hermeneutics. . . . lucid."—Andrew Bowie, Radical Philosophy

: To take what rightfully belongs to another, is like a Muslim eating pork, or a Hindu eating beef.
Our Guru, our Spiritual Guide, stands by us, if we do not eat those carcasses.
By adding spices to forbidden foods, they are not made acceptable.
There are five prayers and five times of day for prayer; the five have five names.
Let the fourth be good will to all, and the fifth the praise of the Lord.
Repeat the prayer of good deeds, and then, you may call yourself a Muslim.
Some trade in priceless jewels, while others deal in mere glass.
Without the Guru, no one has found this treasure. The blind and the false have died in their endless wanderings.
The self-willed manmukhs putrefy and die in duality. They do not understand contemplative meditation.
Without the One Lord, there is no other at all. Unto whom should they complain?
Those solid and beautiful mansions-the fools think that they belong to them.
The treasure-houses, filled with wealth, shall be emptied out in an instant.
Where are those things, which they believe to be their own?

Gomez slams journalist after 'worst team' accusation
Guy Atkinson
10:52 PM GMT 28/06/2018
A journalist's claim that Panama are the worst team at Russia 2018 prompted a furious response from their coach, who defended their maiden campaign
Panama head coach Hernan Dario Gomez responded angrily to a suggestion that his side were the worst team at the World Cup.
The central Americans - competing at the event for the first time - had already been eliminated before Thursday's 2-1 defeat to Tunisia, due to heavy losses at the hands of Belgium and England in their opening two games.
They had looked set on claiming a maiden World Cup victory when Jose Luis Rodriguez's long-range strike was deflected in by Yassine Meriah for an unfortunate own goal after 33 minutes.
Tunisia bounced back in the second half, though, as goals from Fakhreddine Ben Youssef and Wahbi Khazri ensured Gomez's side will return home without a point.
The Colombian was quick to dismiss one journalist's claim that Panama were the worst team at Russia 2018, pointing out how the country's infrastructure compares to many of their World Cup rivals.
He said: "We are last, yes...but the worst team?"

The US government today likes to pretend that it is the perennial champion of political independence for countries that were once behind the Iron Curtain. What is often forgotten, however, is that in the days following the fall of the Berlin Wall, Washington opposed independence for Soviet republics like Ukraine and the Baltic states.
In fact, the Bush administration openly supported Mikhail Gorbachev's efforts to hold the Soviet Union together rather than allow the USSR to decentralize into smaller states. The US regime and its supporters in the press took the position that nationalism—not Soviet despotism—was the real problem for the people of Eastern Europe and the Caucasus.
Indeed, in the case of Ukraine, President George H.W. Bush even traveled to Kyiv in 1990 to lecture the Ukrainians about the dangers of seeking independence from Moscow, while decrying the supposed nationalist threat.
Today, nationalism is still a favorite bogeyman among Washington establishment mouthpieces. These outlets routinely opine on the dangers of French nationalism, Hungarian nationalism, and Russian nationalism. One often sees the term nationalism applied in ways designed to make the term distasteful, as in "white nationalism."
When nationalism is convenient for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and its European freeloaders, on the other hand, we are told that nationalism is a force for good. Thus, the US regime and mainstream media generally pretend that Ukrainian nationalism—and even Ukrainian white nationalism—either don't exist or are to be praised.
In 1991, however, the US had not yet decided that it paid to actively promote nationalism—so long as it is anti-Russian nationalism. Thus, in those days, we find the US regime siding with Moscow in efforts to stifle or discourage local nationalist efforts to break with the old Soviet state. The way it played out is an interesting case study in both Bush administration bumbling and in the US's foreign policy before the advent of unipolar American liberal hegemony.
The Antinationalist Context
In the late 1980s, it was already apparent that the Soviet Union was beginning to lose its grip on many parts of the enormous polity that was the USSR. Restive nationalists within the Soviet Union were beginning to assert local control. For example, by 1989, ethnic Armenians and Azeris were already embroiled in the conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh that continues to this day. Deadly ethnic violence flared, but Moscow, in its weakened state, put off taking action. Yet, in January 1990, Moscow did act in what is known in Azerbaijan today as "Black January." Soviet tanks rolled into the Caspian Sea port city of Baku and killed as many as 150 Azeris—many of them civilians: "The ostensible aim of the intervention was to stop Azeri massacres of Armenians, but the real goal was to prevent the Azerbaijani Popular Front from taking power."1 The Popular Front was the chief political arm of anti-Moscow nationalism in Azerbaijan, and its leader stated, "The goal is to drive out the army, liquidate the [Moscow-controlled] Azerbaijani Communist Party, establish a democratic parliament."
Yet instead of Washington pundits instructing Americans to announce "I stand with Azerbaijan," we were told the real threat was nationalism. As Doyle McManus wrote at the Los Angeles Times in 1990: "An ancient specter is haunting Europe: untamed nationalism…. From Baku to Berlin, as the Soviet Bloc has disintegrated, ethnic conflicts that once seemed part of the past have suddenly returned to life." These old nationalistic impulses, one official from the State Department averred, are "dangerous ghosts" from Europe's past. Arch establishment foreign policy advisor Zbigniew Brzezinki was on hand to claim that ethnic tensions could lead to "geopolitical anarchy." Bush administration officials were "worried" that smaller national groups might replace the Soviet Union. At the time, it was not uncommon to hear that nationalism in Europe would bring about a situation similar to that which supposedly caused World War I. As one "senior Bush advisor" said, "It's 1914 all over again."
So, when the Soviet tanks showed up to crush a potential coup that might free some Soviet subjects from Moscow's yoke, the feeling in Washington was one of relief rather than dismay at Moscow's aggression. Washington was clinging to the idea that the answer to nationalism was to ensure the continued existence of—as Murray Rothbard put it—"a single, overriding government agency with a monopoly force to settle disputes by coercion." That agency was the USSR.
The US Against Independence for Ukraine and the Baltics
That was in early 1990. By late 1990, on the other hand, it was increasingly apparent that the Soviet state was in deep trouble and events were spiraling beyond the control of either Moscow or Washington. The situation in the Baltics was especially acute. On March 30, 1990, Lithuania declared independence and seceded from the Soviet Union. The Soviet state responded with a blockade. Latvia and Estonia began moving toward independence as well, although these two countries would not formally secede until late August 1991.
Yet, even in early August 1991, Washington under George H.W. Bush was still obsessed with the nationalist "threat." In early 1990, the Soviets had claimed that Baltic independence was "a threat to European stability," and this position, according to the Los Angeles Times, had "won considerable sympathy within the Bush Administration and in West European capitals."
This preference for Moscow-coerced unity and "order" over nationalist decentralization was again on full display on August 1, 1991. This was when George Bush delivered his notorious "Chicken Kiev" speech. In this address to the Supreme Soviet of the Ukrainian USSR, Bush harangued the Ukrainians on the need to accept rule from Moscow and reject nationalism, stating
Yet freedom is not the same as independence. Americans will not support those who seek independence in order to replace a far-off tyranny with a local despotism. They will not aid those who promote a suicidal nationalism based upon ethnic hatred.
In other words, the nationalist bogeyman was invoked to hold the Soviet Union together. Bush's finger wagging at the secessionists was received well by "moderate" pro-Moscow communists. But it was less well received by Ukrainian nationalists—to put it mildly—and Baltic secessionists were horrified as well. But few were waiting for approval from the Americans. Less than six months later, all of the Baltics had seceded from the USSR, and a Ukrainian referendum on independence passed easily. (Lackluster support for secession continued in the Crimea and parts of eastern Ukraine.)
In delivering this speech, Bush was essentially acting as Gorbachev's message boy, and Bush clearly supported Gorbachev's "All-Union Treaty," which was supposed to create a new, enlightened version of the Soviet Union that would replace the old USSR.
Yet if the Soviet Union was going to hold together, it was going to require the participation of the Ukrainians. That didn't happen, and Foreign Affairs concluded in 1992, "It was Ukraine, led by President Leonid Kravchuk, that ultimately provoked the unraveling of the Soviet empire: Ukraine's refusal to sign Mikhail Gorbachev's union treaty precipitated the collapse of the U.S.S.R."
Through most of it, the US had repeatedly warned against the dangers of secession and the threat of nationalism. Instead, the party line in Washington appeared to be that the old Soviet Union could be reformed into a new large state where democracy would keep the Lithuanians, the Ukrainians, the Azeris, the Armenians, and countless others in line. After all, from the point of view of Washington, the end of large state is not a rebirth of freedom, but an outbreak of "chaos" and "instability." Thus, Moscow was treated as a far greater friend of Washington than secessionists in Kiev or Riga.
The panic over nationalism in the former USSR didn't persist, however. Washington's about-face on all this came when Washington realized it could extend its "unipolar moment" by expanding NATO—in spite of the promise to not extend NATO eastward. Once it became clear that nationalism could be harnessed to serve the ends of NATO expansionists, then nationalism became a feature of "sovereignty" and the "rules-based order." But as we've seen with the badmouthing of Polish and Hungarian efforts to control their borders and assert independence from Brussels, nationalism is intolerable whenever it inconveniences the European Commission or the White House.
John M. says:
Moldbug pointed out the different attitude towards nationalism depending on whether the word was modified by "Greek" or "Serbian." (Greek nationalism being good and Serbian nationalism being bad, natch.)
One could as easily line up "Ukrainian" and "Hungarian" nationalism in 2022.

Myanmar's High-Risk Election
Features | Politics | Southeast Asia
Aung San Suu Kyi's dangerous gamble to push ahead with a controversial election as a second wave of COVID-19 hits Myanmar hard.

In Myanmar, the virulent second wave of COVID-19, which has turned the locked-down commercial capital of Yangon into a ghost city, poses a growing risk. Now there are rising questions about the credibility of pushing through with November's general election in the time of a pandemic.
Medical authorities are struggling to cope with between 1,000-2000 new cases each day and health experts say Myanmar's public health system is now at breaking point. From a once comfortable position of only 374 confirmed cases on August 16, confirmed cases have now skyrocketed to 32,351 and 765 deaths just two months later.
The National League for Democracy (NLD) government and their Union Election Commission (UEC) has responded with major restrictions on election campaigning – banning rallies and mass meetings – while conveying a strong aversion to any serious debate over the option of postponement.
This year's election campaign has already been curtailed beyond all recognition by essential COVID-19 guidelines clamping down on public rallies and meetings and imposing travel restrictions. In September, 24 opposition parties called for a postponement, a proposal that was peremptorily dismissed by the ruling NLD.
For a great many voters, their paramount concern is staying safe. Avoiding any exposure to the virus has outpaced interest in the November election. But it is also undeniable that there are millions of die-hard Aung San Suu Kyi followers who believe they must win the election for "Mother Suu," leader of nation and chair of the NLD. They are expected to faithfully show up at polling stations, whatever the risk of the virus spreading further.
Public Health and Postponement
During the last few weeks, Myanmar 's infection rates and fatalities have soared. Dr. Zaw Wai Soe, vice chair of the Yangon Region Coordination on Disease Control and Treatment Committee, has described their mission as "waging a war on COVID-19″ while others have warned of public health services in danger of being overwhelmed. The primary cause of the second wave currently gripping Myanmar is still unknown, according to Zaw Wai Soe.
By mid-October, Myanmar had the highest case positivity rate in Southeast Asia, and the second highest in the the broader Indo-Pacific region (surpassed only by Nepal).
In spite of the worsening COVID-19 crisis, neither the UEC nor the NLD have wavered in their dogged refusal to consider a postponement. No debate has taken place on the merits, disadvantages, and contingencies of moving the election date. This leaves Myanmar with no Plan B should surging COVID-19 cases abort the election in the final weeks.
If Myanmar were to postpone, it would not be alone. Many countries have already postponed national or local elections in 2020, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, India, Italy, Romania, Serbia, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, and the U.K. Two-thirds of all countries scheduled to hold elections in 2020 have decided to postpone them.
On the other hand, South Korea showed with its parliamentary election on April 15 that an election can be safely conducted for voters. But South Korea had careful planning and strict precautions in place: temperature checks on all voters, protective gear for polling-station workers, and separate voting stations outside of hospitals for the infected.
Myanmar is far from being in the same league of preparedness as South Korea, with its well-funded public health system. Most importantly, South Korea was past the peak of COVID-19 cases by April 15 when the election took place, having contained the virus by using comprehensive testing and contact tracing. But there is no indication from the latest WHO figures for Myanmar that the country is even close to a peak.
The UEC measures for polling day will include an increased number of polling stations (50,000, up from 40,000) to provide a greater degree of social distancing and staff wearing personal protective gear. Voters will be instructed to wash their hands before casting a ballot. All this can help to reduce potential infection, but falls far short of South Korea's comprehensive regime.
Sri Lanka, with a socio-economic profile much closer to that of Myanmar, significantly postponed elections twice because of COVID-19. Eventually, with additional COVID-19 safeguards in place, a general election was finally held in August.
Public health expert Dr. Tin Myint (currently in Canada) told The Diplomat in early October, "If people are practicing all the UEC guidelines they need not postpone the election right now, but if the pandemic becomes worse and out of control in the coming weeks, the government should consider postponing it for four to six weeks."
The Myanmar government and the UEC have batted away the call by 24 opposition parties, including the pro-military USDP, for a postponement. Among the 24 were a number of new independent parties, including the People's Party, headed by former 88 Generation student leader U Ko Ko Gyi; the People's Pioneer Party, chaired by the wealthy gem tycoon Daw Thet Thet Khine; and the activist Democratic Party for a New Society.
In the absence of any public debate the government finally provided some explanation to local media on September 17. NLD spokesman Myo Nyunt claimed, "Postponing the election when it is uncertain how the situation might develop in the future, will simply result in more problems including a political crisis on top of the current public health and economic problems."
This speculative comment about a hypothetical political crisis is understood by observers to indicate concern by some NLD senior figures about the fragile state of democracy. There is fear that any postponement of the polls would be a god-send to the pro-military USDP.
The 2008 Constitution requires a new government to assume office by February 2021. Thus any postponement beyond February could perhaps trigger political instability and a constitutional crisis.
However, this scenario would not come into play if the opposition parties accepted a four to six week postponement, with polling day arranged prior to January 31.
Spokesman Myo Nyunt, however, argued, "Delaying the election even by one and a half months won't make the situation better. That's why we believe we should hold the election if things are not getting worse."
In fact, in the three weeks since that NLD statement, the COVID-19 pandemic in Myanmar has gotten a lot worse.
An underling NLD concern is the current uneasy balance between the weak civilian government of Win Myint and the military, who still retain control over three key ministries: Defense, Home Affairs, and Border Affairs.
But this projection of a potential "political crisis" is not well-founded according to Jason Gelbort, a legal consultant working in Myanmar. "I do not believe there is a reason to expect greater military control if the elections are delayed, and the UEC has the legal power to postpone elections for reasons of natural disaster," he said.
Controversial Election
This election is an important milestone as Myanmar's second general election based on a multi-party democracy. The first such election, in 2015, resulted in a landslide victory for the NLD. But this COVID-19-contoured election is already shaping up to be controversial, with its democratic credentials eroded by a declining human rights situation, the revival of media censorship, and well-documented crimes against ethnic Rohingya people.
A significant part of the population in ethnic states will be disenfranchised, with the UEC admitting that that polling stations will be not set up in Rakhine, Kayin, Kachin, Shan and Chin states where the civil war continues. Ceasefire offers from several ethnic armed organizations have not been acted on by the Tatmadaw, Myanmar's military.
Thant Myint-U, the author of "The Hidden History of Burma," recently said in a tweet that the November election could be "deeply flawed," adding that it "won't help Myanmar address any of its big challenges: violent conflict, climate change, inequality and underdevelopment."
Even if the UEC COVID-19 protective measures are rigorously implemented at the polling stations, there is still a generalized concern about the wisdom of holding an election during the time of a raging pandemic.
By rejecting any possibility of a postponement, is the Myanmar government acting on the basis of best medical advice, or acting primarily on political calculations and the best interests of the NLD?
Party leader Aung San Suu Kyi is unshakeable in her determination to go ahead with election, telling her supporters that "the election is more important for Myanmar's future than the fight against COVID-19" in an online meeting with NLD members in Kayah, Kachin, and Kayin states, as reported in the Myanmar Times.
That statement is at total odds with one of Myanmar's prominent health experts. Dr. Khin Khin Gyi, the director of the Emerging Infectious Diseases Epidemiology Unit, asserted back in September that public health is more important than political campaigning, especially with the health system in Yangon being stretched to its limits. "Don't be careless as the Grim Reaper is within an arm's length," she warned.
Aung San Suu Kyi in her electioneering campaign mode is perhaps not the best person to be chairing the Yangon Coordinating COVID-19 Prevention Control and Treatment Committee.
If there is no postponement, then NLD is almost sure to emerge as the winner of a COVID-19 marred and deeply-flawed election. But the NLD government could also lose its claim to legitimacy if a critical mass do not accept the polls as a free and fair election. Post-election bitterness will only serve to undermine efforts to bring COVID-19 under control.
