The Megan Show!
TIME TO WALK THE DOG!
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have been in the news cycle for a couple days. There's nothing that the Fake News media loves more (besides impeachment) than a good Royal Family Feud with or without Richard Dawson.
Seems Megham has big plans for her Royal pet which includes moving to Canada.
The Queen was displeased with the antics and watching her grandson become more and more emasculated by the day at the hands of MM. Her majesty kept a stiff upper lip and wished them well as the couple decided to ditch the public funded Royal life for a more "independent" existence, stepping down as "Senior Royals".
There's more to this than a young couple wanting a different life… reportedly MM and Woof Woof are staying at the home of a billionaire friend of Bill Clinton. Meghan is being groomed and advised by the Obamas. MM has dollar signs in her eyes and snakes in her heart. Harry is just clueless and is being lead around by the nose by his wife.
The Queen knows what's going on. She is a survivor and will carry on through this princess's tantrum.
Harry however has made a fool of himself and his manhood.
Good Boy! Now roll over!

Iran's Unfriendly Skies!
Iran's Unfriendly Skies
Last week Iran apologized for launching a Soviet-made missile that killed 176 people aboard Ukraine International Flight 752. President Hassan Rouhani said, "The Islamic Republic of Iran deeply regrets this disastrous mistake."
That's not what the Iranian leaders said at first. They claimed it was due to a mechanical malfunction. Then they refused to give up the black box. Clearly they were trying to hide a terrible mistake, but the scientific evidence was too overwhelming for them to perpetuate such a lie for very long.
The lie outraged the people of Tehran, sparking mass protests. Living under the harsh tyranny of an authoritarian theocracy has to be maddening for a people yearning for freedom, but the Iranians themselves will have to take out the mullahs on their own. The United States should stay out of it except for offering words of encouragement such as the ones President Trump tweeted.
The backward theocratic radicals running Iran have killed thousands of their own citizens. They have lost all credibility and rule by brute force.
It's time for Iran to become a free and peaceful nation.

AG Barr Press Conference Announcing Results of Investigation into Terrorist Attack at Pensacola Naval Air Station – Video and Transcript…
Re-Posted from The Conservative Tree House on January 13, 2020 by sundance
Earlier today U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr announced the results of a criminal investigation into the December terrorist attack at Pensacola Naval Air Station. The AG answered press questions at the end of his remarks.
Accompanying AG Bill was FBI Deputy Director David Bowditch. Interestingly, Mr. Bowditch, as SanFran field office head, was the lead investigator of the San Bernadino terrorist attack prior to returning to Washington DC. [Video and Transcript Below]
[Transcript] – BILL BARR: Good afternoon, and thank you for coming.
We are here to discuss the results of the investigation into the shooting that occurred on Dec. 6, 2019 at Pensacola Naval Air Station.
Joining me today are David Bowdich, Deputy Director of the FBI; John Demers, Assistant Attorney General for National Security; Michael Sherwin, Associate Deputy Attorney General for National Security; Rachel Rojas, FBI Special Agent in Charge of the FBI Field Office in Jacksonville, Florida; and Larry Keefe, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Florida.
I want to thank the FBI and the other federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies involved in responding to and investigating the incident for their rapid and excellent work. Many people worked long hours through the holidays, and I am grateful for their diligence and commitment to seeing this through. You will be hearing from Deputy Director Bowdich shortly about the details of the FBI investigative work, which was superb.
In considering this case, we have to remember that there are thousands of allied pilots and other military personnel receiving training on military bases throughout the United States. These military partnerships are critically important to the United States. The Royal Saudi Air Force, which flies American-made aircraft, is an important military partner, and has long had a training relationship with us.
On Dec. 6, 2nd Lt. Mohammed Saeed Alshamrani, a member of the Royal Saudi Air Force, entered a building on the grounds of Pensacola Naval Air Station and killed three U.S. sailors and severely wounded eight other Americans. Alshamrani was killed during the attack.
This was an act of terrorism.
The evidence shows that the shooter was motivated by jihadist ideology. During the course of the investigation, we learned that the shooter posted a message on social media on Sept. 11 of last year that said: "the countdown has begun." Over Thanksgiving weekend, he visited the 9/11 Memorial in New York City. He also posted other anti-American, anti-Israeli, and jihadi messages on social media, and did so two hours before his attack at the naval base.
Early reports indicated that the shooter arrived at the site, accompanied by other Saudi cadets, who took video of the attack as it unfolded. These reports turned out not to be accurate. The shooter arrived by himself. Other Saudi cadets happened to be in the area and, after the attack began, they took some videos of the resulting commotion. They fully cooperated in the investigation, as did the other Saudi cadets who were interviewed by the FBI at Pensacola and at additional bases across the country.
After Alshamrani entered the building and cased the facility, he proceeded to walk around shooting down his unarmed victims in cold blood.
During and after this heinous attack, there were many specific acts of courage, and I want to draw special attention to two U.S. Marines: Gunnery Sgt. Ryan Maisel and Staff Sgt. Samuel Mullins.
They were outside the building when they heard gunfire and, although unarmed, they ran into the building to confront the shooter. Their only weapon was a fire extinguisher that they had pulled off the wall as they ran toward the gunfire. Who but the Marines?
Although they were unable to engage the shooter, they helped save many lives by performing CPR and other medical aid on the victims.
I would also like to mention the heroic acts of Navy Airman Ryan Blackwell. The shooter shot Airman Blackwell five times, yet Ryan still managed to jump on top of a fellow sailor to keep her from being shot. He further assisted other students and helped them escape, all while taking additional fire from the shooter. Airman Blackwell's heroic acts also saved countless lives that day.
We are grateful as well for the bravery of the base personnel and local law enforcement responders who initially arrived at the scene and engaged the shooter.
I would also like to address the cooperation of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia gave complete and total support for our counter-terrorism investigation, and ordered all Saudi trainees to fully cooperate. This assistance was critical to helping the FBI determine whether anyone assisted the shooter in the attack.
While there was no evidence of assistance or pre-knowledge of the attack by other members of the Saudi military (or any other foreign nationals) who are training in the United States, we did learn of derogatory material possessed by 21 members of the Saudi military who are training here in the United States.
17 had social media containing some jihadi or anti-American content. However, there was no evidence of any affiliation or involvement with any terrorist activity or group. 15 individuals (including some of the 17 just mentioned) had had some kind of contact with child pornography. While one of these individuals had a significant number of such images, all the rest had one or two images, in most cases posted in a chat room by someone else or received over social media.
The relevant U.S. Attorneys offices independently reviewed each of the 21 cases involving derogatory information and determined that none of them would, in the normal course, result in federal prosecution.
However, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia determined that this material demonstrated conduct unbecoming an officer in the Saudi Royal Air Force and Royal Navy and the 21 cadets have been dis-enrolled from their training curriculum in the U.S. military and will be returning to Saudi Arabia (later today).
The Kingdom has assured me that it will review each of these cases under their code of military justice and criminal code. The Kingdom has also agreed that we will have full access to anyone we want to interview in Saudi Arabia and any documents relevant to our investigation. Indeed, it has already been providing documents. Further, the Kingdom has assured us that, if we later decide to charge any of those being sent back to Saudi Arabia in connection with this counterterrorism investigation, it will return them for trial.
We appreciate Saudi Arabia's cooperation in this case.
Finally, I want to address an issue regarding the shooter's phones.
The shooter possessed two Apple iPhones, seen on posters here.
Within one day of the shooting, the FBI sought and received court authorization based on probable cause to search both phones in an effort to run down all leads and figure out with whom the shooter was communicating.
During the gunfight with first responders, the shooter disengaged long enough to place one of the phones on the floor and shoot a single round into the device. It also appears the other phone was damaged.
Our experts at the FBI crime lab were able to fix both damaged phones so they are operational.
However, both phones are engineered to make it virtually impossible to unlock them without the password. It is very important to know with whom and about what the shooter was communicating before he died.
We have asked Apple for their help in unlocking the shooter's iPhones. So far Apple has not given us any substantive assistance. This situation perfectly illustrates why it is critical that investigators be able to get access to digital evidence once they have obtained a court order based on probable cause. We call on Apple and other technology companies to help us find a solution so that we can better protect the lives of Americans and prevent future attacks.
With that, I will turn things over to Deputy Director Bowdich.

Iran Admits Military Accidentally Shot Down Ukraine Air Flight 752, Cites "Human Error"…
While the admission of fault is rather unusual for Iran, they really didn't have much choice. Despite their earnest effort to cover-up the cause and deny their involvement, the evidence was overwhelming that Iranian military shot-down Ukraine Airline flight 752 killing 176 passengers and crew.
IRAN – The general staff of Iran armed forces says a Ukrainian plane that crashed on Wednesday was brought down due to human error. Iran targeted the passenger plane unintentionally, Iran's Press TV reports. (link)
In a tweet by Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, the diplomat attempts to blame the U.S. and apologize to the victims families.

Iran – War – Socrates
Armstrong Economics Blog/Iran
Posted Jan 9, 2020 by Martin Armstrong
QUESTION: I found your analysis in Iran v USA very interesting. Sometimes I do have to read between the lines. For example, you wrote: "We should pay attention to November 4, 2022. That will be the 43rd anniversary of the seizing of the American embassy by Iran." That implies you did not see anything prior to that warranting war. You added: "The Iranian leadership will not be deterred. This is a matter of pride. It does not matter what Trump warns. They will take action regardless of the costs."
You also wrote that the war cycle involving Iran comes into play starting 2021.29. To me, you were saying not now.
Iran fired missiles and they now say their retaliation was proportionate. They did not kill any Americans but could claim they targeted American bases.
I met a former staff member of yours who said you had very long-standing ties into the Middle East going back decades. Is the fact that you did not specifically state there was an imminent threat of war implicit in your comment there was no concern until November 4, 2022?
ANSWER: If there was an imminent threat I would state so. Neither my sources nor Socrates reflected such an event. Iran realizes that the USA could literally blow them out of the water. There was a lot of back-channeling going on cautioning Iran not to get reckless from both Russia and China despite publicly disagreeing with the USA. There are often a lot of things taking place behind the curtain and there are some who want to know if Socrates is picking anything up in the capital flows that would indicate an imminent war.
This could change within the next two weeks on a small scale. The attack by Iran was to save face. They had to be seen as doing something. Trump was told this is simply how leaders must save face before their own people. This does not mean it is over. This will not be the last we have heard from Iran. They will act only when they have the support of Russia and China.
U.S. and Canadian Officials Now Confirm an Iranian Missile Shot Down Ukraine Air Flight 752…
Re-Posted from The Conservative tree House on January 9, 2020 by sundance
It was only a matter of time before western intelligence agencies confirmed Ukraine flight 752 was shot down just north of Tehran by Iranian anti-aircraft missiles. The evidence was growing, and it was/is overwhelming.
Most of the passengers on the flight were Canadian or Iranian heading to Canada. Today a somber Prime Minister Trudeau informed Canadians the aircraft was shot down.
There were 176 passengers and crew aboard: 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians, 11 Ukrainian passengers and crew, 10 Swedes, four Afghans, three Germans and three Britons on board. The nose of a Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) was identified in a debris field near the crash site.

HOLLYWOOD CAN'T TAKE A JOKE
Ricky Gervais hosted the Golden Globe Awards and during his opening monologue he lambasted the degenerate culture that is Hollywood.
A lot of what he said has been obvious to the general public for years, but will the actors listen to an insider?
Probably not, but they will have to pay attention to a lack of money as ticket sales dwindle.
Fame is not necessarily synonymous with intelligence.
Anthony Hopkins knows this. He recently said actors are 'pretty stupid' and should avoid talking about politics and other issues.
Globe winner Michelle Williams did not heed Hopkin's advice and talked about her abortion and how she had no regrets about it. Is that what people want to hear from an actor giving an acceptance speech?
Such a speech may attract far left ticket buyers, but what about the rest of America? It's the same with De Niro. Many liked his acting before he opened up his trap and began yelling obscenities at the president. De Niro in particular needs to listen to Hopkins.
Kudos to Ricky Gervais for speaking truth to Hollywood.
Iran Refuses to Hand Over Black Box From Fatal Boeing Crash Near Tehran – Nose of SAM Missile Discovered Near Crash Site…
In the aftermath of Ukraine Airlines Flight 752 exploding and crashing just north of Tehran airport, the Iranian government is refusing to turn-over the black box flight data recorders recovered from the crash site. Combined with the timing and location, their refusal is leading to increased speculation the flight may have accidentally been targeted by Iranian air-defense systems. The tragedy is being compounded by Iranian politics.
The Boeing 737-800 is a very dependable aircraft with three decades of service. This specific Ukraine aircraft was built in 2016 & just had a service inspection on January 6th. Immediately after the crash, Iranian officials stated the cause was "technical difficulties", and after video surfaced showing the plane was on fire heading to the ground, Iran later stated the cause was one of the engines on fire. However, there was no distress call or report of issue, from very experienced Ukraine pilots to Tehran air-traffic control.
There were 176 passengers and crew aboard: 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians, 11 Ukrainian passengers and crew, 10 Swedes, four Afghans, three Germans and three Britons on board. Additionally, what appears to be the nose of an M1 Surface to Air Missile (SAM) has been identified in a debris field near the crash site.
Translated: @Azematt – "Local people where to shoot the first photo, take it inside the place of the father of Nazdiky, the place of the fall of the Ukrainian fall. @AshkanMonfared_ Farstadeh as it clearly divided the Central Bank of Moskur"

Hot stuff, it says the debris of what looks like the Tor M1 SAM were found near the crash site of Ukraine Flight PS752. I'm not sure though, it's quite unlikely that the warhead would remain intact (as suggested by the photo) after impact (with a passenger plane). https://twitter.com/Azematt/status/1214967566369730561 …

In a rather bizarre tweet without any background context New York Times columnist Paul Krugman denies responsibility for child pornography found on his computer:
In a follow-up tweet Krugman states: "The Times is now on the case". Apparently calling the police for a forensic review was out of the question, or something. Very odd.

Ákos Császár (, ) (26 February 1924, Budapest – 14 December 2017, Budapest) was a Hungarian mathematician, specializing in general topology and real analysis. He discovered the Császár polyhedron, a nonconvex polyhedron without diagonals. He introduced the notion of syntopogeneous spaces, a generalization of topological spaces.

During the end of 1944 his grandfather lost his life during the siege of Budapest. Then his father, older brother and himself were arrested by the Germans and sent to a concentration camp approximatively 45 miles east of Budapest. An infectious illness spread in the camp, and his brother and father died, but Ákos survived. He is a member of the group of five students of the late professor Lipót Fejér who called them "The Big Five". The other four are John Horvath, János Aczél, Steven Gaal and László Fuchs, all of whom are now retired mathematics professors in North America. Only Császár became a university professor in Budapest.

Between 1952 and 1992 he was head of the Department of Analysis at the Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest.
Corresponding member (1970), member (1979) of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. He has been general secretary (1966–1980), president (1980–1990), honorary president (since 1990) of the János Bolyai Mathematical Society. He received the Kossuth Prize (1963) and the Gold Medal of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (2009). Császár died on 14 December 2017, aged 93.

Visit ancient monasteries of Dolpo district.
An area beyond the Himalayas, which conjures up the beauty of ancient monasteries, blue sheep and snow leopard, Dolpo is one of the most remote regions in Nepal and is located in the western part of the country between the Tibetan plateau and the Dhaulagiri ranges. The Upper Dolpo Trekking is about 24 days, which requires the trekkers to get special permission from the government. The Upper Dolpo hiking is famous as remote and restricted trekking destination in Nepal. The Dolpo district is an exceptionally isolated region, which hasn't been in touch with the modern lifestyle, so the culture and way of living have remained same since ancient period. The trekking region was closed to foreigners until late eighties, but still trekkers aren't allowed to go without any acquaintance, therefore group trekking is suggested for this trek route. Don't miss the once in a lifetime opportunity to go to this trekking if you are physically capable and have got enough time to spare here. You are required to have previous experience is high altitude trekking.
Upper Dolpo Trek goes through lovely valleys, local settlements, intriguing spots, enormous mountains and greenery woods of pines, oaks, rhododendrons and so on. The fundamental feature of the trek is terrific scenes, remote village of Ringmo, astounding Shey Phoksundo Lake, which is the deepest lake of Nepal, Dho Tarap, which is the locality of people at highest altitude in the world, Shey Ghumpa, which is known to be the most important gumba in Nepal and the hundreds years old monasteries. The books called "The Snow Leopard" and "Himalayan Pilgrimage" written by Peter Matthiessen and David Snellgrove has added to the persona and fascination of Dolpo. Both of them went by the Shey Gompa, to the north of the Phoksundo Lake, Inner Dolpo. This is the objective of most trekkers yet this Upper Dolpo trek will take you significantly into mystique area. The exotic half plant, half animal species, Yarsa Gumba is also found in this region.
Upper Dolpo region is remote from the city area, and your arrival will be arranged in two flights. From Kathmandu, you'll fly to the town of Nepalgunj and stay overnight there. Next morning you will get into forty five minute flight to Juphal and that same day you'll be able to trek on to Chunuwar. June, July and August are considered to be the best month of the year for this trek .Regardless, it'll still be cold, particularly at night, so ensure to pack your warm jacket and a four-season sleeping bag.
Physical Conditions and Experience Requirements
24 days of upper Dolpo Trekking is considered as moderate. If you jog or perform morning walks regularly then it would not be any problem for you to walk on the trail. However, it is highly recommended that you should start doing mild exercises one month prior to your trekking date. This would help in creating best Himalayan walking holiday experience. Having said that, it should be noted Technical Skill are not needed. The major hurdle is an altitude. Therefore, person having past medical history of lung, heart and blood diseases are extremely advised to consult your doctor before embarking on this journey.

Arrival in Kathmandu (1300m/4264ft)
Upon our arrival in Kathmandu, a representative from Nepal Adventure Pilgrimage will pick us up from the airport and take us to our hotel. In the afternoon, we may take a rest or visit Nepal Adventure Pilgrimage office. In the evening, there will be a welcome dinner hosted by Nepal Adventure Pilgrimage. For dinner, you will be served excellent authentic Nepalese cuisine. Overnight in Kathmandu.
Kathmandu: sightseeing and trek preparation
Today after breakfast we start a guided tour to several of the most historical and spiritual attractions in Kathmandu. Some of these landmarks are considered World Heritage Sites including the historic Durbar Square, the sacred Hindu temple of Pashupatinath, the famous 'Monkey Temple' (Swayambhunath) and Buddhist shrine (Bouddhanath), which is one of the largest stupas in the world. At noon, there will be a pre-trip discussion where we can meet our trek leader and other team members. Nepal Adventure Pilgrimage will brief us regarding our trek as well as provide us with an opportunity to ask any questions we may have regarding our upcoming adventure. Overnight in Kathmandu.
Fly from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj: 1 hour
After our short excursion in Kathmandu, we take an hour-long flight from Kathmandu to Nepalgunj, located in Western Nepal. Nepalgunj, a town near the Nepal-India border, is also the gateway to Simikot, Humla. The town itself is an interesting Terai town that showcases the diverse culture of Nepal. In Nepalgunj, we visit the local market, mini-zoo and nearby villages. Overnight in Nepalgunj.
Fly from Nepalgunj to Jhuphal (Dolpo) and trek to Dunai (2,850m/9,348ft): 45 mins flight, 2-3 hours trek
We fly to Jhupal after breakfast. The town is beautifully located over the Himalayan foothills, with views of Annapurna and Dhaulagiri peaks to its north. Here, we meet our trekking staff and begin the adventure. We walk through terraced fields to the Bheri River and its narrow gorge. We continue walking to Dunai, which is the administrative headquarter of the Dolpo region. We explore the small town in the evening and camp there for the night.
Dunai to Ankhe (2,896m/9,499ft): 5-6 hours
We leave Dunai and cross a suspension bridge and turn to the west following a trail past a hospital. The trail ascends up the side of the treeless, Thulo Bheri valley before entering Phoksundo river valley. During the walk we get to the view of Kagmara Peak up the valley. We pass through walnut groves, Dhera and Rahagaun villages, walk down dense jungles and finally reach Ankhe. Overnight in Ankhe.
Ankhe to Sulighat: 5-6 hours
Our trail ascends and descends along a wooded riverbank and climbs on a steep trail. The ups and downs can be a bit monotonous, but there are several streams along the way that offer a chance to cool off. The trail eventually leaves the forests and passes through a grassy slope high above the river. We trek downhill on a trail surrounded by lush forests before reaching a cliff followed by a dizzying drop on a wobbly stone staircase to the river bank. We continue trekking until we reach Sulighat where we spend the night.
Sulighat to Phoksundo Lake (3,611m/11,849 ft) 4-5 hours
We continue our journey along the valley floor to the confluence of the Phoksundo and Pungmo rivers. After crossing a bridge, we walk on the western bank of the Pungmo Khola. The trail passes through a cedar forest before reaching Palam village. From here we trek up to a ridge and enjoy distant views of Phoksundo Lake and a spectacular waterfall, one of the highest in Nepal. Next, our trail descends through birch forests to the upper reaches of the Phoksundo Khola, and then to the picturesque Ringmo village with its mud-plastered chortens and mani walls. From here it is a short walk to the shores of the Phoksundo Lake. Overnight at Phoksundo Lake.
Trek to Phoksundo Khola: 4-5 hours
Our trail moves around the top western end of the Phoksundo Lake as it contours on a rocky ledge along the lake's western bank. This unsteady trail suspended on a gangway of wood supported on pegs driven into crevasse in the rocks, signals the remoteness of the area we are about to enter. At the westernmost edge of the lake the path leads through a lush meadow that opens up into the flood plain of the Phoksundo Khola. Then we walk through the valley, crossing the river and avoiding the occasional boggy marsh underfoot and then coming on the bank of the river to the overnight camp.
Phoksunds Khola to Phoksundo Bhanjyang: 6-7 hours
For an hour or so we walk on a trail that leads us along the level path through a glacial valley which heads due north. At the confluence of the Phoksundo Khola and another mountain stream, there is an old wooden bridge. From here, we walk towards the north-east. A long climb brings us to a sheep meadow where our trail veers up a steep ravine. A hard climb to the top brings us to yet another valley where we can see the Kang-La pass. We set up our camp near the pass in a place that Peter Matthiessen christened 'Snowfields Camp'. During our trek today we also get to admire the views of Chhamlang peak 6 (6739m) and peak 7 (6105m).
Phoksundo Bhanjyang to Shey Gompa (4,500m/14,760ft) via Kang-La pass (5,360m/17,581ft): 5-6 hours
In the morning, we ascend on a steep trail littered with slate towards the pass. The climb to the top of the pass is quite strenuous. From the top of Kang-la pass we get excellent views of the large valley dissected by a gushing river. We descend to the valley floor on a steep trail. Next, we walk on a meandering trail along the banks of a river, crossing and re-crossing it several times. There are mud caves lining the hills overlooking the river. We also pass through meadows where we see grazing yaks, hundreds of sheep and domestic mountain goat (Chyangra). After crossing a quaint log bridge we reach the Shey Gompa compound where we will be spending the nigh
Acclimatization and rest at Shey Gompa
Shey Gompa was built in 1655 and the monastery is noted for its giant copper with gilded gold statue of a seated Shakyamuni Buddha. To the east of the gompa is Crystal Mountain which is one of the strangest mountains, as its contorted cliffs are laced with quartz and embedded with a rich variety of marine fossils. Today is another well-earned rest day for acclimatization. We spend the day hiking around Shey village which is famous for its ancient pre-Buddhist culture, the Bon Po. In Dolpo the ancient Tibetan way of life combines animism with the teaching of Buddha. Overnight in Shey Gompa.
Shey Gompa to Namduna Gaun (4,800m/15,744ft) via Saldang La (5,200m/17,056ft):
We begin the day by following a pleasant trail amidst juniper trees which descends into a grey, stony canyon. Then the path begins to zigzag over bare rocks and coarse eroded soil until it eventually brings us to the top of Saldang-la pass. The subsequent descent towards the north is long and tiring but grazing yaks and sheep, and nomadic tents made from yak hair is a comforting sight. In Namduna Gaun we visit Namgung monastery. The red stone monstery is built against the backdrop of a cliff on the north wall of a gorge. Overnight in Namuda Gaun
Namduna Gaun to Saldang (3,620m/ 11,874ft): 4-5 hours
We leave the village and climb up a slope and begin a long walk along dusty barren mountains. After 3-4 hours of hard climb, we begin to see Saldang Village below us on a plateau high above the Namga Khola stream. It has a picturesque appearance. Saldang is the largest village of the inner Dolpo area. The village stretches for nearly two kilometers on an open slope and consists of five villages having about eighty well-built houses with nearly six hundred people. It is a prosperous village not only agriculturally but also for its strategic location on a trade route to Tibet. Overnight in Saldang.
Trek to Sibu (4,560m/14,957ft): 6-7 hours
From Yangze, there are two trails that connect to Sibu. To save time we will retrace the path back towards Saldang village, which will be much easier and shorter than the other route. From Saldang we walk along a river and pass through terraced fields, stupas, chortens, heaps of mani stones and a Chaiba monastery, then pass through the Namdo village, which is also prosperous, with about sixty houses having nearly 400 inhabitants. It stretches for more than 5 km on the high slopes to the left of Nam Khong Khola. The Namdo monastery is located near the river bed. Our journey continues further down the river for another two hours to camp near a small settlement of Sibu.
Trek From Sibu to Jeng-la Phedi (4,900m/16,072ft): 5-6 hours
We walk along the Nam Khong Khola for a while and pass by caravans with yaks that are moving towards the Tibetan border. After turning east and walking for a while, we arrive at a confluence of two small streams. Next, the steep trail ascends to a grazing area below the Jeng La pass (4,900m/16,072ft). Our camp will be set up in this beautiful meadow. Overngiht in Jeng la Phedi.
Trek From Jeng-la Phedi to Tokyu Gaon (4209m/13809ft) via Jeng La pass (5,090m/16,695ft): 5-6 hours
We get up early in the morning and set forth on today's trek. It will take us two long hours to reach the top of the Jeng La pass from where we get remarkable views of the north face of the Dhaualgiri massif. From here we descend on a rough trail to the Tarap Valley, a fascinating valley with vast plains in high mountains that extends twenty kilometers along Tarap Chu river. We camp close to the monastery at Tokyu.
Trek From Tokyu to Dho Tarap(4,040m/13,251ft): 4-5 hours
We trek downhill on a plain valley with patches of lush grass on both sides of the river which is completely different from other parts of inner Dolpo. There is also a marsh which is a common feature in the Desert Mountains of Tibet and the Ladakh Himalaya. Both the Bon Po and Buddhist sects are practiced in the valley. After a short trek, we reach Dho Tarap). Overnight in Dho Tarap.
Dho Tarap to Tarap Khola (Kamakharka) (3,800m/12,464ft): 6-7 hours
From Tarap we descend towards a wide valley which eventually narrows into a gorge. We walk along juniper and wild rose bushes just above the tree line. On our trek we see herds of blue sheep and by the afternoon, we reach the confluence of the Tarap Chu and the Lang Khola, a stream that joins with Tarap River from further east. We will make our camp on a nice meadow also known as Kamakharka and spend the night.
Trek From Tarap Khola to Khanigaon(3,150m/10,332ft): 4-5 hours
We continue walking down the gorge of the Tarap River, at times alongside it. During our walk we pass by the local people who will be taking their herds to lower pastures for the winter. This will be one of the most exciting days of this trip as the valley becomes so narrow in a deep gorge that in some places we can jump from one side to another. Sometimes there is no trace of a path and we may have to walk across stone slabs fitted on logs in between the walls which act as a bridge. The gorge also provides unexpected adventure and thrills. At some places, the bridges are either damaged or washed away and we may be forced to cross the icy torrent on foot. Finally, we reach our camping spot beside the Tarap Khola at Khanigaon where we spend the night.
Trek From Khanigaon to Tarakot (2,537m/8,321ft): 4-5 hours
From the camp we follow a trail that takes us to the village of Lalberi. Our trail then passes through a lush forest, descends into another gorge and continues to follow the river again. After reaching Tarakot, we can visit Sandul Gompa which lies about 8 km east of the village at a juncture of Barbung Khola and Tarap Chu. The monastery stands on a hill to the south of Bheri River. Today we camp by the Tarap Chu river about 150 meters below Tarakot, near the police post. Overnight in Tarakot.
Trek From Tarakot to Dunai (2,140m/7,019ft): 5-6 hours
we begin our trek on a trail behind the Bheri River before crossing a bridge near the Lawan village. Our trail will continue alongside the big Bheri Rriver ascending until the Byas Gadi. From here the trail moves towards the west on a relatively easy trail. We cross the river again near the Lochakhola Gaon and ascend to Dunai for an overnight stay. Today's trek will mostly be on a wonderful gorge with pine trees. Overnight in Dunai.
Trek From Dunai to Jhuphal: 2-3 hours
Fron Dunai, we trek along the Bheri River enjoying the beautiful landscape. On the way, we pass through Dhupichaur and Rupgad villages as well as a temple. We continue trekking via Kalagaonda village and Motipur village before reaching the small airstrip. Overnight in Jhuphal.
Fly from Jhuphal to Nepalgunj and then to Kathmandu
We take the earliest flight from Jhupal to Nepalgunj. Upon reaching Nepalgunj, we return to Kathmandu on the next available flight.

La presa di Guam è la conquista dell'isola di Guam da parte degli USA, che la sottrassero alla Spagna nel 1898, e fu l'atto meno cruento della guerra ispanico-americana.

Preludio
Guam, sotto il controllo spagnolo di Miguel López de Legazpi che ne aveva preso possesso fin dall'inizio, in nome del Re di Spagna, comprensivo delle isole adiacenti, il 22 gennaio 1565. L'ultimo messaggio che le autorità spagnole di Guam ricevettero dalla Spagna fu del 14 aprile 1898, un mese prima della guerra ispano-americana, dove si manifestava la possibilità di un accordo diplomatico che poteva evitare il conflitto armato.

Henry Glass, comandante dell'incrociatore USS Charleston, si stava dirigendo verso Manila quando ricevette l'ordine di dirigersi verso Guam.

Presa dell'isola

Glass quindi decise di porre in stato di allerta i suoi uomini inesperti. Il 20 giugno, Glass arrivava sulle spiagge di Guam. L'US Charleston sparò sull'isola con tre suoi cannoni. Il comando dell'isola suppose che si trattasse di salve di cortesia. Le autorità spagnole inviarono così una barca con a bordo una rappresentanza spagnola formata dall'ufficiale comandante del porto, un medico e il figlio del commerciante più influente dell'isola, il signor Portuach, il quale funse da interprete.

L'ufficiale comandante del porto si scusò non poco per non aver risposto alle salve di cannone americane, dato che era più di un secolo che non si usava e per questo l'unico cannone era molto corroso dal sale marino.

Glass li informò che c'era una guerra tra la Spagna e gli USA e che da quel momento si dovevano considerare prigionieri di guerra. Così fu che Glass liberò la delegazione spagnola che li reinviò sull'isola con il messaggio di arrendersi.

Ma l'ufficiale spagnolo negò di accettare tale ordine in quanto le leggi impedivano di obbedire ad un ordine di una nazione estera.
Glass intanto inviò un subordinato per le ore 9.00 del mattino.
Il giorno seguente, alle ore 9.30 del mattino, l'ufficiale dell'US Charleston era sulla spiaggia, e ordinava entro 30 minuti la resa dell'isola.

Dopo aver constatato l'inferiorità numerica della guarnigione dell'isola di Guam, con scarsità di munizioni, e senza possibilità di nessun aiuto, il governatore dell'isola don Juan Marina si arrendeva, non prima di aver ufficialmente e diplomaticamente protestato energicamente, ignorando l'esistenza di un conflitto tra Spagna e Stati Uniti.

Quindi il tenente Braunersreuther, posto al comando di una squadra di sbarco composta dalla guardia marina dell'US Charleston, dai marines della City of Peking e da due compagnie del reggimento dell'Oregon di volontari provenienti dall'Australia, iniziava la presa pacifica dell'isola di Guam.

Resa
Nello stesso giorno, la guarnigione spagnola e il governatore don Juan Marina si arrendevano sull'incrociatore US Charleston.
Gli ordini americani furono quelli di alzare il vessillo a stelle e strisce sopra le fortificazioni dell'isola e distruggere tali fortificazioni.

L'isola era la sede del governatorato di tutte le isole Marianne spagnole e quindi la resa di Guam significava anche la resa e la cattura di tutto l'arcipelago delle Marianne ispaniche.

Dopo la cattura dell'isola
Assicurata l'isola di Guam come primo possesso agli USA nell'Oceano Pacifico, Glass continuò la rotta verso Manila.

Fu così che, con il Trattato di Parigi del 1898, le Filippine, l'Isola di Wake e le Hawaii diventarono possessi statunitensi alla fine del conflitto.

Novelist John Le Carré created one of literature's most fascinating characters in Alec Leamas, The Spy Who Came in from the Cold's main heavy, who is on a final, fateful mission in East Germany. In Martin Ritt's movie version, now out on Criterion Blu-ray and DVD, Richard Burton embodies Leamas with a morbid gravitas for the ages. In the following short excerpt from an exclusive, exceptionally wide-ranging interview with Le Carré, recorded for Criterion in 2008, he talks about his inspiration for the rueful Leamas. Then watch a clip from the film, in which Burton brilliantly elucidates his character's philosophy—or rather lack thereof.

Hello! My name is Hera and I am PAWsitive that I would make a kick-tail Mayor. Why go shopping for little Miss Perfect Princess Paws and pay thousands of dollars when you can go to a shelter and get a gorgeous creature such as myself? Heck, I'm even for bunnies and pigs. We have to join paws (and hooves if needed) with the Adopt Don't Shop initiative. Our fellow pet species are unnecessarily behind bars. Let's get them out of the shelter and into happy homes and cuddly laps! I won't rest until every doggy has a home. While we're at it, if you give me some table scraps, I'll end world hunger too!
Hello! My name is Linus and as Hera's feline sibling, I am here to give my endorsement that Hera would be purrfect as Pet Mayor. She's always one to fight for the underdog and is never one to bark up the wrong tree (unless there's a squirrel in it). Two paws up from me!
Working hard until every dog has a home!
Every dollar raised by Hera's campaign will go into the Injured Animal Fund. Help homeless animals heal so they can find a HOME!

This 99-Year-Old Man Rode His Bike to the Polls. Wisconsin Republicans Turned Him Away.
Voter suppression
Scott Walker's voter-ID law is disenfranchising the greatest generation.
By Ari BermanTwitter
Wisconsin resident and World War II veteran Fred Leidel.
Madison, WI— Fred Leidel was born in 1916, before women got the right to vote. At 99 years old, he biked to the polls in Madison, Wisconsin, this morning. He designed propeller blades for airplanes during World War II and was an engineering professor at University of Wisconsin–Madison. Everyone knows him at his polling place, Schenk Elementary School, where he volunteers to read to kindergarteners.
But for the first time in his life, Leidel was turned away from the polls. He no longer drives, and his UW faculty ID, which he used to vote in the past, wasn't accepted under the state's strict voter-ID law. "I never had any problems voting until today," he said.
The poll workers called Molly McGrath of VoteRiders, who helps people get voter IDs. She took Leidel to the DMV in East Madison, where he was issued a new state ID and given a temporary receipt for voting. Leidel returned to the polls a second time and successfully cast a ballot. If it hadn't been for McGrath's assistance, he would've been disenfranchised a month before his 100th birthday.
Leidel has always voted. "It's my country," he told me. "I'm only one person, but I want to be recorded for what I believe."
He considers himself a Democrat and voted for Hillary Clinton. "I think women are equal to men. We had our first black president, it's time we had our first female one."

Across Wisconsin today, many longtime voters had difficulty exercising their most fundamental right because of the state's voter-ID law.
Ruby McGhee, an 80-year-old African-American woman, was born on a farm in Jim Crow Arkansas on Thanksgiving Day 1935. She lived in Illinois since the 1940s and voted without problems since her 20s. She moved to Wisconsin in 2008 to live with her daughter and brought her Illinois ID, Social Security card, and proof of Wisconsin residency to the DMV to get a Wisconsin voter ID. But she was denied an ID because she didn't have a birth certificate.
"They said what I needed was a birth certificate, which I don't have," McGhee said. "My mother had me at home. I couldn't get the ID. That was my downfall."
She contacted McGrath, who helped her get a temporary credential for voting, which she used on Tuesday. Voting has always been important to her. "I want to put the right person in the right place at the right time," she says. "That's why I always vote."

McGhee was lucky enough to vote today, but her temporary voting credential is only valid for 120 days, which means she will not be able to vote in the next major election unless Wisconsin's law changes.

Not everyone was as determined to vote as Leidel and McGhee.
Margie and Alvin Mueller, who are 85 and 86 years old, went to vote early in Plymouth, Wisconsin. They've been married for 64 years, have lived in the same house since then and always vote at the same place. But Margie's ID was not accepted because her driver's license is expired and she no longer drives.
Election officials said she had to get a new ID in Sheboygan, which is 25 minutes away. Margie is a cancer survivor who's in between radiation and wasn't up for the trip. "When you're 85, I guess you don't count anymore," she said. Her husband was so angry, he decided not to vote, either.
"I could've voted, but when they pulled that crap, I didn't want to vote," Alvin said. "We could've gone to Sheboygan, but it's just the idea of it—to pull that crap, when she has a picture ID, what more do you want?" He blamed "the damn Republicans," who he said "don't want Latinos and old people to vote."
Hey @RepGrothman,remember that voterID suppression secret that you said outloud?
Here are two of the constituents YOU SERVE.
Shame on you. pic.twitter.com/gsB7u77PPG
— Molly J McGrath (@votermolly) November 6, 2016
The Muellers, incidentally, live in the district of GOP Rep. Glenn Grothman who predicted during the primary that Republicans would carry Wisconsin in November because "now we have photo ID."

SA's superfood producer gets financial boost
SA superfood company, Origin of Moringa, has more than tripled its sales year-on-year since its products reached South African supermarket shelves three years ago.
The range of Origin of Moringa products are available in Dis-Chem and Pick n Pay stores across the African continent and selected local pharmacies as well as a major online player in the health foods / superfood space.
Founded by Julian de la Hunt and Llewellyn Marshall in 2018, Origin of Moringa was created with the dual purpose to both develop communities as well as create a range of nutritious food using the many health benefits offered by the moringa tree.
The boost in sales, one of the few companies that saw an increase in sales during the hard lockdown periods caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, is a combination of not only the nutritious product that they sell, but the variety available.
Origin of Moringa doesn't just sell the moringa powder in its pure or capsule form, but also sells a health tonic, tea, moringa infused salt and pepper, health bars, porridges, soup, sugar-free peanut butter, lollies and hot chocolate drinks, rusks and a range of cosmetics – all infused with the superfood.
Says de la Hunt, one of the reasons why the business has been able to increase its presence and sales is the company's ability to innovate and create new products that hold the nutritious value of what is referred to as "green gold". Moringa is packed with proteins, nutrients, vitamins and minerals including vitamin A, vitamin B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B-6, folate and ascorbic acid (vitamin C), calcium, potassium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus and zinc.
Two years ago, the business sourced funding from financial services provider, Fedgroup. Fedgroup Impact Farming is an investment platform where South Africans can invest directly in a moringa tree on one of Origin of Moringa's organic farms and earn proceeds from the sale of the tree's harvest. Moringa trees are available at R100 per tree. Investors can expect an average profit of 10% per annum over the three-year investment term, with returns starting out low and ramping up over time as the trees mature.
The Fedgroup Impact Farming funding platform, is a world first. Created not only to allow investors to gain exposure to tangible assets, but also to create innovative funding opportunities for farmers whose needs have been left unmet by traditional finance avenues.
"Origin of Moringa was founded to build communities and provide nutritious food. We chose to partner with Fedgroup and its Impact Farming platform because the business holds the same values as we do. Not just in fair business practices but also their commitment to playing a positive role in every interaction that they have," says Marshall.

Days ago, U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents managed to confiscate enough fentanyl to kill over 50 million individuals. As you may have guessed, the individuals who attempted to transport these drugs into the United States were also trying to smuggle them in via truck, according to The Daily Caller News Foundation.
The attempt to bring such fatal and dangerous drugs into the United States occurred at an Arizona port of entry at the Southern border. As previously stated, a truck was used to transport the fentanyl; at this time, the bust is being referred to as the biggest in history, due to the amount of fentanyl which was seized. Had the smugglers succeeded in their venture to transport this drug in the United States, they would have enough fentanyl to take out more than 50 million people.
This most recent massive drug bust is a prime example as to why President Trump is so insistent upon securing our Southern border. What if CBP agents hadn't caught the smuggler who was attempting to bring fentanyl into America? We have a lot of issues happening at our border and, at this point, if Democrats continue to stick their heads in the sand and act like everything's all square, then they are accomplices to these crimes.
What are your thoughts on the largest drug bust in history? Sound off in the comments section down below!


Since this has been one of the most popular posts on my blog since first published in 2011, I wanted to share with those who may have missed it.
You strengthened my heart and put a smile on my face with this post. God is the spinach of my life! Thank you Tresa!

Top Comedy At Sundance UK
This weekend the inaugural Sundance London Film Festival opens at the O2. Earlier this month, John Cooper, director of Sundance, explained to The Guardian "We're a mission-driven organisation, so we are always looking to extend the audience for American independent films."
We're also glad to see some British talent making the shortlist: multi-festival winning short film Tooty's Wedding, directed by documentary filmmaker Frederic Casella and written by two of the circuit's finest Laura Solon and Bell Willbond. A feature-length version of this 'tragi-comedie' is now in the pipeline, starring the same talented cast of Laura, Ben, Mathew Baynton (Horrible Histories) and Daisy Haggard (Episodes).


Pius XII, "without abandoning the attitude of impartiality," did his utmost to attain justice and peace in Palestine. He sought to come to the aid of the victims of the war by sending the resources at his disposal to his representatives in Palestine, Lebanon and Egypt, and by encouraging the formation among Catholics in various countries of undertakings organized for the same purpose.
During the preceding months, the Holy Father had been studying the efforts of the church among the refugees with a view to unifying all the work of humanitarian and charitable assistance of the Holy See into one overall pontifical agency. In April 1949, Pope Pius summoned to Rome Monsignor Thomas J. McMahon, National Secretary of Catholic Near East Welfare Association. The pope informed him of his intention to organize a special mission for Palestine and named him its president.

Duncan Williamson, a Scottish traveller, has spent a lifetime collecting stories about seal people, or silkies. They are recorded here in a conversational, colloquial style which reflects the oral tradition of storytelling. Tales of people who help injured or abandoned seals, and are in turn helped by them, accord with today's environmental concerns, while the fisherman who persecutes the seals for stealing fish is invariably punished or reformed. There are attractive cameo illustrations to head each story, but it's a pity the cover design is unlikely to attract young readers.
