Fortunately, the California Court of Appeal has just reversed the decision, on First Amendment grounds.
[T]he part of the order prohibiting Michael [Molinaro] from posting "anything about the case on Facebook" is overbroad and impermissibly infringes upon his constitutionally protected right of free speech….
Applying these principles, the court in In re Marriage of Candiotti (Cal. Ct. App. 1995) held a custody order limiting a parent's right to communicate with third parties about matters related to the custody proceeding was an unconstitutional prior restraint. There, the order prohibited a mother from disclosing negative information about her former husband's new wife to anyone except certain specified professionals. The Candiotti court recognized that courts "are given broad authority to supervise and promote the welfare of children" and may constitutionally order parents to refrain from disparaging their former spouse in front of their children. However, the court observed the challenged order "went further, actually impinging on a parent's right to speak about another adult, outside the presence of the children."
The court held the order was overbroad in this respect and constituted an undue prior restraint of speech under the California Constitution, reasoning the order "would prevent [the mother] from talking privately to her family, friends, coworkers, or perfect strangers about her dissatisfaction with her children's living situation." Although the trial court "certainly ha[d] the power to prevent [the mother] from undermining [the father's] parental relationship by alienating the children from [the stepmother]," the Candiotti court found the challenged order to be "much more far-reaching, aimed at conduct that might cause others, outside the immediate family, to think ill of [the stepmother]." The court explained: "Such remarks by [the mother] may be rude or unkind. They may be motivated by hostility. To the extent they are libelous, they may be actionable. But they are too attenuated from conduct directly affecting the children to support a prior restraint on [the mother's] constitutional right to utter them."
The same reasoning applies to the part of the restraining order prohibiting Michael from posting information about the case to Facebook. The record shows Michael's Facebook posts were not specifically directed to the minor children, but in many cases invited comments from Michael's adult friends and extended family, some of whom urged him not to dwell on the divorce, while others suggested he seek legal representation. Moreover, although the trial court plainly had the power to prohibit Michael from disparaging Bertha in the children's presence (see In re Marriage of Hartmann (2010)), the order here, like the order in Candiotti, was "much more far-reaching," proscribing speech only peripherally related to the case and speech that might, at worst, "cause others, outside the immediate family, to think ill" of Bertha.
Indeed, most of Michael's earlier posts were of this variety?they expressed his apparent despair about the divorce and his separation from the children, but did not directly disparage Bertha or openly seek to alienate her from the children. Posts of this sort are "too attenuated from conduct directly affecting the children to support a prior restraint on [Michael's] constitutional right to utter them."
"It is certainly in the best interests of any children of divorce that the adults in their lives act in a mature and courteous manner"; however, where a restraint on the freedom of speech is concerned, the restriction must be necessary and narrowly tailored to promoting those interests. The part of the restraining order prohibiting Michael from posting about the case on Facebook does not meet this test. We conclude it is overbroad, constituting an invalid prior restraint, and must be stricken from the domestic violence restraining order.
Warring sighs and groans I'll wage (CENSORED).
So exactly how will the children be kept off facebook?
That is (or should be) a non-issue. In the case above, the mother is being prohibited from saying bad things about the dad and stepmom. Three scenarios arise – children are in the mother's custody and control, children are in the father's custody and control, children are unsupervised.
While the children are in the mother's custody, she is prohibited from saying bad things in front of the children. To the extent that she wrote those bad things down on paper, she would be obligated to put those papers away while the children are around. By the same token, she will have to block facebook on her computer(s) while the children are around.
While the children are in the father's custody, the father also has the unilateral authority to block his own children's access to facebook. Any number of easily-available apps enable such parental controls.
So that only leaves the times when the children are unsupervised. These kinds of orders do not generally get handed out when the children are teenagers. These kinds of orders are put in place while the children are sufficiently impressionable that it will make a difference in parenting. And if the dad is letting his young children online without proper supervision, that's a more serious problem than the mom saying some bad things. It's also not the non-custodial mom's problem to fix.
The Court of Appeal opinion in Molinaro v. Molinaro would be quite useful for family law lawyers as well as family law judges, in part because of the First Amendment limitation on domestic violence restraining orders and in part because there are other useful lessons. But Molinaro was not certified for publication.
Prof. Volokh ought to ask the Court of Appeal to publish Molinaro v. Molinaro. The procedure to request publication of unpublished opinions is laid out in California Rules of Court Rule 8.1120.

Who would you rather lead your team right now: Pascal Siakam or Jimmy Butler?
The Raptors and Heat have each overachieved their expectations entering the 2019-20 season thus far behind the play of their respective stars, Pascal Siakam and Jimmy Butler. Which star would you rather have lead your team right now?
Following Tuesday's matchup, the Toronto Raptors and Miami Heat are now tied with the second-best record in the Eastern Conference.
Behind the play of their stars - Pascal Siakam and Jimmy Butler - both teams have gravely surpassed their expectations so far this season.
On one hand, you have the league's reigning Most Improved Player, who at 25-years-old, continues to get better every single time he takes the court. Averaging 25.1 points, 8.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game this season, Siakam has found his name entering the league's Most Valuable Player discussion in the opinions of many.
On the other hand, you have a former Most Improved Player, who at 30-years-old, has been an established star in the NBA for some time now. Averaging 19.0 points, a career-high 6.7 assists, 6.0 rebounds and 2.4 steals per game, Butler has shown no signs of slowing down in his first season with his new team.
While Siakam's age makes him the more attractive option long-term, who would you want to lead your NBA team in pursuit of an NBA title right now?
Our NBA.com Staff shared their opinions on the matter prior to Tuesday's game.
Kyle Irving (@KyleIrv_): When we introduced the idea of this topic, I had originally stated that I was going with Jimmy Butler. But after a change of heart, I'm actually going to take Pascal Siakam.
I'm a huge Jimmy Butler fan. After seeing his demeanour in last year's playoffs, it completely changed my opinion on how far a team reliant on Butler could go. The things we saw him doing in the playoffs last year - his playmaking and elite perimeter defence - has carried over into this season and the Heat's record reflects that as well as his impressive averages in assists and steals per game. I truly think that Miami, behind Butler, will shock NBA fans this postseason.
But through almost a quarter of this season as the Raptors' go-to guy, I've seen enough to say that Siakam can legitimately lead a team to the NBA Finals and an NBA title.
Every time that I think Siakam has reached his peak, he takes his game to another level. He's evolved as a scorer and playmaker. He's taking over games without seemingly breaking a sweat. He's led this Toronto team that very few believed in in the preseason to one of the NBA's best records through nearly 20 games.
Siakam is a certified star in this league and he deserves to have his name entering the MVP conversation, as it is. Unlike Butler in the Heat, Siakam and the Raptors have no ceiling and that is because Siakam is still growing each and every game. That reason alone is enough to choose Siakam.
Micah Adams (@MicahAdams13): Jimmy Butler.
And I can't believe I still think that, but in my heart of hearts, I truly do.
Yes, Siakam is a borderline top-5 MVP candidate. Yes, Siakam has been the better player this season. Yes, Siakam has come up big in the NBA Finals.
And yet... I kind of still need to see him do it as THE MAN in a playoff series. It's one thing to turn up a few big postseason performances when the other team is honed in on Kawhi Leonard or to do it in the regular season.
It's another to do it when locking horns as the No. 1 option against the same team night in and night out.
Butler has done it.
He went toe-to-toe with Leonard in last year's playoffs. He's battled LeBron James on both ends while in Chicago. He's a guy that won't back down from any challenge on either end of the floor.
If you're asking me right now who I want over an 82-game regular season, the answer is Siakam.
If you're asking me right now who I want over a single playoff series, it's still Butler... for now.
Gilbert McGregor (@GMcGregor21): Right now? To lead a team to win a title in the 2019-20 season, I'm going with Pascal Siakam.
I know that for the sake of the argument, we're looking at both through a more narrow lens, meaning the five-year age gap is thrown out of the window, essentially meaning this would be a five-month decision rather than a five-year plan.
That's exactly why I'm taking Siakam.
We're talking about a guy who, fresh off of breaking out to win Most Improved Player, is making a legitimate case for being the first-ever player to win it two years in a row. In his fifth season, he's added so much to his game, our Scott Rafferty broke down how Siakam has essentially become an entirely new player - again.
The rate at which Siakam improves is so rapid that it's almost unprecedented. He's doing things now that he wasn't doing a mere six months ago in the NBA Finals, seamlessly adjusting to being the team's No. 1 option.
And when he has subpar performances, he's even figured out how to have a short memory and bounce back right away.
That's a key characteristic to being The Man.
There's no telling what dynamics Siakam will add to his game by season's end and for that intriguing prospect, I'm taking him to lead my team to the promised land, a place he's been before, albeit with a different role.
Carlan Gay (@TheCarlanGay): I'll take Jimmy Butler here.
While Pascal Siakam is incredible and has earned the respect of the rest of the NBA, including us here at NBA.com, Butler to me would be the better option.
MORE: Who are the 30 best players in the NBA right now?
I've seen Butler be the go-to-guy before on multiple teams and in playoff situations. I have seen 19 games of Siakam doing it, that's not enough for me.
Like Gil said above, if this were a five-year plan where you can build out your team over time, Siakam is the pick. But seeing as we're talking about now in the moment - Butler is the guy.
Jimmy can defend, score and close games and he doesn't it with a vicious demeanour, which I think is critical if you want to win a title.
The views expressed here do not represent those of the NBA or its clubs.

Brussels, 20 April 2016
Speech/statement | Date: 20/04/2016 | Ministry of Foreign Affairs
By Former Minister of Foreign Affairs Børge Brende
'When the terrorists attack Europe, they are not only attacking a city or a country. They are attacking our common European values', Minister of Foreign Affairs, Børge Brende, said in his speech in Brussels.
Norway's future is inseparable from that of the rest of Europe. When Europe's security is challenged, Norway's security is challenged too. A terrorist attack on Europe is more than an attack on a specific city or country. It is an attack on our common European values.
I would like to express Norway's profound solidarity with the people of Belgium and the victims of the horrific attacks that took place here in Brussels last month.
Today, Europe stands at a crossroads. Some countries are seeking closer European integration, whereas others are giving priority to national solutions. The choices the EU member states take now will shape the development of Europe for many years to come.
Time and again, Europe has demonstrated its ability to emerge stronger from a crisis. It is essential that it does so this time, too. Because a weak and divided EU will undermine Europe's security. It is in Norway's clear interest that the EU member states stand together and find common solutions.
Every single day, European cooperation is put to the test. It is challenged by migration, economic crises and the threat of terrorism. We are experiencing greater vulnerability – and a feeling that the security architecture that we have gradually built over the past few decades is more fragile than previously perceived.
Geographic distance from a crisis no longer means distance from its consequences. The latest terrorist attacks are tragic reminders of this. The role of criminal networks in the migration crisis is another example of the complexity of the threats we are facing. Such multifaceted threats need to be met with comprehensive approaches.
We must strengthen our cross-border cooperation. And we must use a wide range of tools from foreign policy, security policy, home affairs and development policy.
Nato remains the cornerstone of Norway's security policy.
The upcoming Nato summit in Warsaw in July will focus on collective defence and on what Nato must do, across the board, to adapt to a rapidly changing security situation. The Alliance cannot choose between the south and the east, between ground and sea forces, or between deterrence and détente. Of course, it also needs to maintain its focus on the changing security situation in Europe, including in the north.
Developments in the northern sea areas will have consequences for Nato, and for Europe, as a whole. In the run-up to the Warsaw summit, Norway will advocate a significant strengthening of Nato's maritime capabilities, with a strong emphasis on the North Atlantic. In our dealings with Russia, clear communication must be combined with measures by Nato to prevent dangerous incidents and increased tensions.
Norway plays a key role in this respect.
The complexity of today's security challenges calls for closer cooperation between the EU and Nato. The two institutions should agree on a set of joint objectives.
There is a need for practical measures to foster cooperation and address shortcomings in our response to the new and changing security situation. Specifically, the EU and Nato should take steps to improve cooperation on crisis management, capacity building and stabilisation efforts.
We need better mechanisms for intelligence fusion and sharing, and more regular political consultations. And we all stand to benefit from increased cooperation on maritime security, as well as on cyber security.
It is my hope that the EU and Nato will identify concrete objectives in several of these areas in time for the European Council Meeting in June and the Nato Warsaw Summit in July.
Confronted with a rapidly changing, challenging and complex security environment, strategic thinking and analysis are more important than ever before.
I commend High Representative Mogherini for her efforts to develop the new EU global strategy on foreign and security policy.
Unity and cooperation, based on common norms, are Europe's most important assets when it comes to reducing vulnerabilities and enhancing resilience. The EU global strategy should acknowledge that these assets become even more powerful when they extend beyond the geographical boundaries of the EU. This can be achieved through formal agreements and political dialogue with like-minded partners.
Before turning to the situation in the north, I would like to make a few comments regarding Europe's neighbourhoods to the south and to the east.
Many of the crises Europe is facing have their origins in a belt of fragile or failed states on its southern borders. The lack of development in the Middle East and North Africa is contributing to violent extremism and unprecedented numbers of refugees.
Clearly, a more strategic approach is needed to address issues of security, development, migration and humanitarian assistance in fragile states. We cannot let fragile states become failed states by default.
Each failed state has its own history and its own regional context. Stabilisation and improved social development require a focus on the local politics and regional geopolitics that drive polarisation and instability.
Stabilization is never a technocratic undertaking. It is primarily a political project. Military engagement is sometimes necessary, but the use of force is never the solution in itself. Counter-terrorism efforts need to be integrated into a broader political strategy.
Experience from Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya has shown that our involvement must be part of a coherent, long-term strategy for lasting stability. And we have to bear in mind that the instability in the Middle East, North Africa and beyond is, above all, a failure of governance.
That is why in pursuing stability we always need to think in terms of governance and human rights. Some say we have to choose between stability and good governance. I strongly disagree: Nation states that resort to repressive measures to maintain stability are not sustainable.
The Norwegian Government is currently developing a comprehensive strategy on fragile and failed states that links foreign policy with security, development and humanitarian policy.
In a European perspective, I would like to reiterate the need for more regional cooperation, coordination and integration in our approach to fragile and failed states.
We must not only seek to combat ISIL and the other terrorist groups that are threatening European security today. We must defeat ISIL and make sure that the terrorists that succeed ISIL do not find fertile ground for their extremist ideologies in fragile states.
Looking towards the East, we are clearly seeing a Russia that is moving away from democratic and liberal values. A Russia that is increasingly willing to use surprise tactics and take foreign policy risks. Through its actions – in Ukraine and elsewhere – Russia has contributed to a greater sense of insecurity in Europe.
It is essential that the EU, together with like-minded partners such as Norway, stands united in upholding respect for international law and human rights in its relations with Russia. At the same time, Russia is also our neighbour. And managing our bilateral relationship with Russia is a constant and important element of Norwegian foreign policy.
Over the past 25 years, Norway has gradually expanded its cooperation with Russia based on mutual interests and international law. A good example is the joint Russian-Norwegian management of the Barents Sea cod stock– which is now one of the best managed fish stocks in the world.
Good contact and dialogue between neighbouring countries is all the more important when facing challenges that require joint solutions. The large numbers of migrants and asylum seekers crossing the Norwegian-Russian border last autumn was an example of such a common challenge. Close contact at all levels and cooperation under existing agreements were key to finding a solution.
There is no contradiction between safeguarding our bilateral interests in our relationship with Russia and standing firm – with our allies and partners – on our commitment to international law and on fundamental principles of international relations.
Now, finally, I would like to turn to the north.In today's volatile world, where so many regions are affected by conflict and tension, the Arctic stands out as a remarkable exception.It remains a region of cooperation, stability, respect for international law and sustainable management of resources.
The overall goal of Norway's Arctic policy is to ensure that it stays that way. But stability in the north cannot be taken for granted. Russia's military build-up and intensification of military exercises in the Arctic show that we must remain vigilant.
For Norway, our Nato membership compensates for the lack of symmetry between Norway and our larger neighbour, Russia. It has made it easier to cooperate with Moscow. Having a robust and predictable defence does not prevent cooperation – it enables it.
The importance of international law in the Arctic cannot be overestimated. The strong commitment of the Arctic coastal states to the Law of the Sea is effectively preventing an unsustainable race for resources.
Coastal states can be confident that overlapping claims to the continental shelf in the Arctic Ocean will be settled within the established legal framework. This promotes confidence and cooperation rather than confrontation and competition.
The situation in the Arctic highlights the crucial importance of international law for peace, stability and economic growth. And it is a good example of the way in which adherence to agreed principles benefits small countries and major powers alike.
Governance in the Arctic is dependent on well-functioning political institutions to address Arctic issues. Celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the Arctic Council has proven instrumental in finding solutions to regional challenges. And it has produced ground-breaking reports on climate change in the Arctic and its far-reaching consequences for the rest of the world.
Interest in the Council is growing as the Arctic is becoming an area for cooperation between Europe, North America and Asia. I would say that in an increasingly unstable world, the Arctic Council is a contribution to modern security policy. It is a model for global governance and for promoting knowledge, stability and predictability based on respect for international law.
Further efforts to exploit the opportunities opening up in the Arctic must take into account the multiple environmental challenges resulting from increased economic activity and global warming.
The Arctic environment is vulnerable, and protecting it is a fundamental responsibility. On the one hand, global warming is posing a threat to biodiversity and livelihoods. On the other hand, the melting ice cap is opening up new commercial opportunities.
New energy and mineral resources will become accessible. And in the future, the Arctic Ocean may become an attractive shipping route from Europe to East Asia. The resources found in the oceans are indispensable for addressing the challenges our planet is facing.
Our vision is for the Arctic to become one of the world's most innovative and knowledge-based growth regions. If we succeed, the strategic importance of the Arctic for Europe's economy and security will only grow in the years to come.
The EU is already an important contributor to Arctic research and to the work of the Arctic Council, the Barents cooperation and the Northern Dimension. I strongly believe that a well-founded and coherent policy approach in the Arctic is highly relevant for EU's future global strategy.
Never before have security and prosperity in Europe depended so much on security and prosperity elsewhere.And never before has Europe been more in need of a comprehensive and strategic approach to safeguard its security interests.
The challenges we are facing can only be addressed through effective leadership, cooperation and solidarity. These are Europe's strengths, and it is in our interest to exploit them to the full.

Q: RestKit: mapping JSON array of strings Given the following JSON:
{
   "someKey":"someValue",
   "otherKey":"otherValue",
   "features":[
      "feature1",
      "feature2",
      "feature3"
   ]
}

I am mapping this JSON into NSManagedObjects with RKMapperOperation and RKEntityMapping(in this example I would have 2 entity mappings: one for the top level object and another one for my Feature class).
The top level object mapping is trivial: two attribute mappings plus a relationship one(features) for the relation with Feature.
My question is,how to map the features JSON array into an array of Feature objects? The Feature class has just one property name where I want to store "feature1", "feature2", etc plus a reference to the parent object (the top level one). Something like this:
@interface Feature : NSManagedObject

//In the implementation file both properties are declared with @dynamic.
@property (nonatomic, retain) NSString * name;
@property (nonatomic, retain) MyTopLevelObject *myTopLevelObject;

@end

Any idea?

A: You need to use a nil key path:
RKEntityMapping *featureMapping = [RKEntityMapping mappingForEntityForName:...];
[featureMapping addPropertyMapping:[RKAttributeMapping attributeMappingFromKeyPath:nil toKeyPath:@"name"]];
featureMapping.identificationAttributes = @[ @"name" ];

Then, on your top level object mapping, define the relationship:
[topMapping addPropertyMapping:[RKRelationshipMapping relationshipMappingFromKeyPath:@"features" toKeyPath:@"features" withMapping:featureMapping]];

In your feature (in the model), myTopLevelObject should be defined as a bi-directional relationship to the top level object.

A: If you are using Restkit 0.20+ then all you need to do is set the property that is representing the string array of your entity to Transformable.
For example, in this case your Feature entity has 3 properties:
someKey - String
otherKey - String
features - Transformable

Restkit will automatically map 'features' as a string array.
So once mapped, to access one of the strings in the features array would be as simple as:
[Feature.features objectAtIndex:?]
I just tried it and it works perfect.

A: I don't think you can map an array of strings into a ManagedObject like that. However, since Feature only has one name property you could just store it as an array into your MyTopLevelObject. You can do that by adding a features property to MyTopLevelObject in your datamodel with the type Transformable. RestKit will automatically parse the features a NSArray with NSStrings. You can then get the features as following:
MyTopLevelObject *topLevelObject = ... // get the object from the persistent store
NSArray *features = (NSArray*)topLevelObject.features; // this will contain the features as NSString objects

Living a Fit and Full Life: PerfectShaker Hero Series are the Perfect Shaker Bottles to Help you with Your New Years Resolutions!
PerfectShaker Hero Series are the Perfect Shaker Bottles to Help you with Your New Years Resolutions!
PerfectShaker Hero Series are the perfect shaker bottles to help you with your New Years Resolutions! I don't know about you but I certainly feel like a hero when I drink my super greens and protein shakes on a regular basis.
One of my New Years resolutions is to eat healthier and while I will admit it's hard with 4 kids and working from home because there's always candy and cookies on hand to bribe the kiddos with so I can get some work done. One thing I've started doing is drinking energy greens in the morning instead of a cup of coffee or tea. I've come to depend on my Green Superfood Energy powder for my caffeine and taking my Amazing Grass Green Superfood Energy first thing in the morning really helps me feel energized and ready for the day. Another thing I've been doing over the last couple weeks is doing a protein shake before breakfast and lunch and to my surprise I've dropped a few pounds with absolutely no effort whatsoever. Drinking the protein shake has helped me eat a smaller breakfast and lunch and keeps me from snacking throughout the day.
These PerfectShaker Hero Series shaker bottles are phenomenal! They blend up protein and superfood powder with ease and leave no chucks, allowing me to drink up every bit of healthy goodness. I also love that they're BPA free and extremely easy to clean. The PerfectShaker Hero Series shaker bottles also look pretty cool and are sure to be the perfect way to help you achieve your New Years resolutions!

Travel to Finland and tour the sparsely populated taiga in Scandinavia's arctic to see wolverines, brown bears, and wolves under the midnight sun. Spend three nights in photography/viewing blinds amid these mammals' territories to observe and photograph them at close range. Explore Lake Saimaa in Linnansaari National Park searching for the endangered and endemic Saimaa ringed seal by boat. Meander through primeval forest and vast bogs of Patvinsuo National Park. Explore the birds and beautiful scenery of Valtavaara Nature Reserve, one of Europe's best birding spots, where you have the chance to see capercaillie (the largest member of the grouse family), red-flanked bluetail, little and rustic buntings, hazel grouse, three-toed woodpecker, and gray-headed chickadee. Regardless if you're a photographer or wildlife enthusiast, you will enjoy fabulous views of difficult-to-see mammals on this safari!

Roach Buddy
"What's up, man?" said my roach buddy.
"Nothing," I replied.
He saddled up next to some cheese that fell from some fake-O Italian dish I cooked up a few days back. To him, he was in Belize at the Ritz. And Belize isn't even IN the Ritz. But what do roaches know?
"You look down."
"Yeah," I said, "I miss my history."
"Tell me about it," said Roach.
"My memories. I miss the way I remembered the people whom I don't even like now. I remember them when they were in history...I mean, the ones still alive."
"My kind gets sprayed and smashed. I feel for you, if it's anything like that. Jesus Christ, this is good cheese."
"I've had so many moments," I said, "just so much that happened...I can't remember any of it the way it really was. I just get little glimpses but then the doors close."
"Well, like I said. My kind gets sprayed and smashed."
"Yeah," I said to Roach. "We're not that different, you and me."
"People are not so bright, are they?" Roach said.
"No. Not so much." I replied.
"You know," said Roach, "This may be the best cheese I've ever had?"
"Really."
"Yeah. This is probably the best. Because it's happening now. Well, now it's gone. Man, wasn't that something? I wish I could have been there with you for all of it. But my kind...well, like I said. My kind gets sprayed and smashed. Every crumb is the best thing, always, if you can ever be lucky enough to get one."

STUDENT #56004501 CULTURE FREAK
Student # 56004501
Student #56004501; that's who I am. Someone will be able to look up that number and make value judgments, decisions, and recommendations for my life. That my name is Tom Miller, is incidental. Tom is a common name, short form of Thomas, meaning, 'purity'. I am anything but. Miller/surname: anyone who works in a grain mill. I know nothing about grain mills. I was adopted.
When I was a young boy, about the age of 14, my best friend was what is now safely and allowably called, 'African American'. His name was Dwayne. We got along. We had commonality. He was black, I was white. What we had in common was we talked, laughed, shared, and generally enjoyed each other's company. We were in a singing group in junior high school. I remember it vividly because it was the first time I ever had a car of my own. My job was to drive the car to the mall with me and my friend Dwayne in it, because our singing group was going to entertain for some adoring fans. It frankly never occurred to me that Dwayne was the kind of deep South black that some people looked down upon. I just thought he was black, as in the way 'black' is a most useful color of the palette. Some would argue—artists/colorists/racists—that black is the absence of color. Interestingly enough, white is also appreciated as colorless.
We sang our parts, got our applause, and headed for the parking lot to prepare for the adventure that would be me somehow managing to drive us home. In broad daylight on the way to my car, we were confronted by a couple of fairly big white guys. "What are you doing with this nigger?" said one. "Are you a nigger lover," said the other. Though I was young, this hurt me. I experienced a complete feeling of pure shame before I ever looked over and saw my friend's face. I knew these were men who had a very different reality than the one I was living in. Were these men confronting young children with the heavy weight of the Civil War, maybe? I wanted to be angry, but I was just scared. They had the kind of anger you can instantly read in a face and in body language. I immediately became prejudiced against another of my kind: these simple-minded KKK turds—because they were prejudiced against me and my friend. It did not make any sense to me, not until I realized these gentlemen were the kind of people I can not stand: 'assholes.' I didn't think about their mothers, or them as children growing up with whatever worldly impositions had been cast upon them. I did not cut them any slack...turds! Assholes! The people I wished to die painfully for their ignorance. White people, like me. Give it to me that I was twelve, if you will...
Ethnic and Religious Groups
I grew up in Miami. Many of my close friends were Cuban. I took several Spanish language courses in elementary and junior high school. To this day, I can only pronounce, effectively, the curse words. I can issue them authentically. Even so far as the variant approaches to, "Conyo." This is like "Damn" spoken in the English language. In Spanish, it is as it seems..."Conyo." In Cuban, which has some differences with the Spanish language, it is pronounced, "ConYO". One means Damn. One means, muthafkn DAMN! The Cubans have more chutzpa [audacity] on this term. What does it really mean unless you say it musically, unless you say it with flair, unless you say it with some spit coming out of your mouth and your eyes bulging? We discover meta-language and Para-language easily without the benefit of a college education. I am 14.
I was raised a Southern Baptist. My aunt was a church organist. Every Sunday, I would ride with her to the SB Church and when we got there, she would occasionally let me play the tiny organ keys that produced a gargantuan uber-Godly sound through some fat tubes with hot air into the loudspeakers which riled the entire neighborhood. I played "Chopsticks". I played it again and again. Then, when it was time for the parishioners to fill in and sing, I would sneak into the back where the refrigerator was and steal the communion wafers. Body of Christ...Blood of Christ...it was all in there. I came to a realization...everyone is completely insane. By the time I had polished off an entire bottle of the Blood of Christ, I was convinced that alcoholism was the true religion and fairylands in the clouds and the burning moshpits of the bowels of Purgatory were the ramblings of complete and unadulterated idiots. All the same, I loved my aunt without judgment. She was my aunt, not the Church organist for Dr. Seuss meets George Lucas in Exorcist V in 3-D VomitVision.
My dad was weak. He was an alcoholic and my mom was a domineering witch-woman. That sounds like I didn't love them with all my heart and soul. I am not sure what love is, but if there exists something akin to it, I had much of it for them. Sometimes I wonder if it was because the dominant figurehead of my mother in the household played a role in my ambiguous gender identity, or if genetics rolled some dice. But the hot women of my day put me off. I do not have the need to make another me in the world, nor to bond with some woman. I am open to expressions of love in the many ways they manifest, and of the homosexual bent, I could say I have been in the hay. Our society seems to indicate an importance in assigning roles...that people must pick a card, so to speak, in their appreciation—at the deepest levels—of another of our species. Though I had been informed by my past mentors to "be normal", i.e. heterosexual, or to be queer (a repellent word)...I found that to decide a thing cuts off another thing. In other words, when one makes a decisive decision, a door closes. I keep all my doors open, some more than others, and feel that absolute decisions are akin to death. The more doors close, the fewer rooms there are to explore. My dad was a great intellect dad. My mother was a teacher, and stood over my young shoulders pointing out the value of mathematics and language. I never mentioned sexuality to them. Did they really need to hear about penis and pussy? Were these my real parents? Sure, why not. They were much older that "normal" parents would be. In fact, they were one of the oldest couples to be able to adopt children before the laws were changed. They taught me the value of value. The only thing I ever saw them do is kiss and lock pinky-fingers. We 'fuck' in my day. They had romance. We have porn. As Oscar Wilde said, "Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing." Craftsmanship. Honor. Integrity. My real mother might have been a princess or a crack whore. But these people, who nurtured and supported me, were my parents. I learned from a time past that there are chairs and there are chairs. One you can sit your ass in for awhile, and one, you can sit your ass in comfortably forever. The chair means something to someone. It is not some press-board and glue diorama manufactured by robots. This is a paper about culture. Does it matter in the long run who my real parents are? I do not know.
I grew up and read poetry and saw plays and movies—not your typical Hollywood movies, though I have seen many—but the movies of artists who were invested much more to the art and the message than the dollar. On an island with a million dollars and no food...; well, you can not eat the money. Or you can, but to what nutritional effect? I figure if we adversely impact the environment...before its potential doom...it will probably rebound and put our young humanity out, like blowing on a birthday candle. I say this because mankind is a cosmic speck. Roaches have a better understanding of reality, perhaps simply because they do not bother with it. I have read that some roaches have a 'hissing' language. I have read that roaches, in the absence of a lover, can simply become spontaneously transgendered and lay fertilized eggs without the help of a mate. We postulate in our reality-tunnels (see Robert Anton Wilson) a culture of animals and come to the conclusion that we, so different than they (other than science), alone have language, though animals share with us the ability to at the very least communicate. We have learned that we stand alone, as did the Earth as the center of everything before Copernicus fucked it all up. In the macrocosm of the infinite, should we make a decision and close all doors that culture is anything more than that which humans avail themselves of, or is there a broader larger bigger magical wild and wonderful...
The poet Charles Bukowski said "Trees, green-ness...can be deadening. Give me the cities, give me smog."
I am a Zen guy. Everything is doing what it does. When I look into another human being's eyes I say, "I am going to find myself in there and bask." Sometimes, I look into the eyes of a roach and say, "I am going to find myself in there and bask." When I hear someone or another preach of all Gods, some Gods, or no Gods, I say, "I am going to find myself in there and bask." When I see someone who is looking for the 'manness' or the 'womanness' or the 'be-a-part-of-everything-ness' I say, "I am going to find myself in there and bask." When I sit under the sun, look at a blade of grass, watch the meadow sway in the wind like a green sea on a lonely planet in a drop of infinity, watch a spider turn a web in the corner of my toilet, and I say, "I will find myself in there and bask." The mystery is the answer...culture is the question. Student #56004501 sends his regards to Broadway.

and i pick it up with my fingers
like it's some delicate china
and nibble on the end to see
if it numbs me or what
and i realize it's a piece of grout
that fell out of the wall
in this laboratory of science
and some of my tooth
chips off as i flush...didn't even pee
and rush to the stage to introduce
the banjo player from some other town
who played it raw and real

how beautiful, wonderful
that these lucky creatures

delicious delicious lobsters.

he's there in the back seat.
how'd he do that?

Old Portlaoise convent is being considered for council housing tenants
lynda.kiernan@leinsterexpress.ie
The former Presentation Convent in Portlaoise
The old Presentation Convent and grounds in Portlaoise are being considered for social housing.
Laois County Council is in discussion with two housing bodies about developing housing on the site off Portlaoise Main Street.
The local authority has reported this in its October Housing Report, to be presented at the monthly council meeting this morning Monday October 23.
"Discussions are ongoing with two Approved Housing Bodies regarding the development of housing in the convent grounds in Portlaoise," the report said.
The convent is part of 8 acres of Portlaoise town centre land for sale at €2.5m, jointly by the parish and the Presentation Sisters, since February 2016.
A previous plan by the sisters to convert the convent for social housing fell apart after objections. The protected structure was boarded up and was partially damaged in 2015 when it was set on fire.
The number of people on the Laois council housing list has risen again this month, now at 1,606 waiting for a home.
The council is in the legal process of concluding the purchase of the derelict Old County Hotel on Main Street, also to be used for social housing.
It is one of several Portlaoise sites the council is attempting to buy.
"Bids have been placed on a number of sites in the town that can accommodate more than one unit," the report states.
It has also bought the Kingdom Hall and squash court beside Hepburn Court on the Ballyfin Road, where it owns nine of the 12 houses, blocked up after being destroyed by vandals.
"The council is preparing a Compulsory Purchase Order to acquire the remaining properties in Hepburn Court. A schematic drawing for the development is being finalised," the report said.
So far this year, 201 people or families presented as homeless to the council offices. There have been 119 homes given to council tenants so far this year, with another 9 to be allocated within the next 8 weeks.
Portlaoise homeless charity says number of homeless is hidden by 'couchsurfing'

Q: Can Mono for Android be used with Visual Web Developer Express? I downloaded Mono for Android and was following the tutorial on installation. I'm using Visual Web Developer 2010 Express I got up to this part, where you configure the VS settings, but I don't see "Mono for Android" in the options of VWD.
Is Visual Web Developer supported? Can I used Mono with it?
TIA

A: Unfortunately, the express editions of Visual Studio 2010 do not support plugins, which is required by Mono for Android, so it is not supported. You can, however, use MonoDevelop on Windows which has full Mono for Android support. MonoDevelop is free and open source, and is installed automatically as part of Mono for Android's installer.


I would be less than honest if I didn't say that my ultimate wish is that no woman will get breast implants, and that those who already have them will be explanted, because I absolutely believe there is NO SAFE BREAST IMPLANT. But, for women who still opt for breast augmentation I hope that my blog will help them know fully what they might be getting themselves into so they are making an informed decision. For those implanted I hope that my blog will help them know potential warning signs of complications and connect them to a community of support that can help them figure out what to do/where to go next if they decide to explant.

Violeta Make it Better...
Thanks to the shenanigans of our blessed MEPs, the term "Spitzenkandidaten" is now widely translated as meaning "I spit on your candidate".
But European Commission President-elect Jean-Claude Juncker, has hit back with his own game of Spitzenshenanigansdidaten", loosely translated as "I spit on your shenanigans".
In fact it was the new Slovenian PM who first blew a gasket when MEPs pushed their luck with their joyously juvenile European Parliament game of "You-spit-on-my-candidate-and-I'll-spit-on-yours.
They used their democratic devilishness to dismiss the Slovenian Commissioner-designate as "Not very clever". Other available headings under which the unworthy can be rebuffed by MEPs include: "Too clever by half"; "Wrong political party"; "Insignificant political party"; "Looks a bit dodgy" and "Might be taking the piss out of us".
Anyway, they bagged themselves a Slovenian trophy, and that would have been sort of okay, had they not started preening their feathers in public. The big mistake was for puffed-up MEPs in the two main centre-left and centre-right parties to declare that they would accept no replacement other than a certain Tanja Fajon who, as luck has it, is already an MEP and is therefore, obviously, the best thing since sliced pain. Any other nomination from the Slovenian government would be deemed "unreasonable", said the MEPs.
Classic case of red rag to bull, and the Slovenian Premier responded with a severe case of "Stuffenzekandidaten", vaguely translated as "I stuff your candidate". He then displayed wit, wisdom and a sense of mischief by despatching to Brussels Violeta Bulc, whose credentials include not being the Tanja Fajon.
Mr Juncker, not happy about being jerked around too much like a puppet by the two biggest parties in the European Parliament, also enjoyed the jape because, having met Violeta, he let it be known that he got on with her like a house on fire, which would be no sweat for Violeta, thanks to her other credentials as a certificated fire-walker.
Other areas in which she leaves all the other Commissioners in the shade include having been a basketball star in her youth; being a black belt in taekwondo, being a self-defence teacher, having studied as a shaman, and, crucially, holding a sweeping belief in connecting directly through portals, from vertical to horizontal, from static to dynamic, from line to circle, from plan to model, from organisation to movement, from vision to mission.
No, me neither, but the last bit is all direct quotes so let's give the lady a chance. She believes in holistic power and systemic thinking. In a paradigm-shifty kind of way. In a recent broadcast to her growing band of followers, she opined that "experience shows that doing one thing after another is not enough... the future is changing daily".
And in a declaration which could have been aimed directly at our MEPs she said we must find brave new ways of cooperating, and we must take bold new steps into a "no structure, no visions, no goals" world. Instead, we should "go and set ourselves a mission to achieve some higher good." What's not to like? How this applies to the EU Commission transport and space portfolio is not quite clear but she will certainly be more interested in exploring the possibilities of inter-planetary travel than funding the Mulhouse-Basel motorway extension.
MEPs will feel personally insulted when they learn that Violeta is against "negative ego-centric behaviour", insisting that we must ovecome this power lust and realise that well-being is the higher goal.
They may also dislike being told to "go in for holistic decision-making and thus improve their impact on the co-creation of daily life and the future".
She believes triangles of power can be replaced by polygons of purpose and her watchwords are inspiration; innovation and intuition. Innovative eco-systems are a speciality, as are systemic thinking and a global mindset.
Another plus, much welcomed by Jean-Claude Juncker, is that she's only been in politics a handful of weeks: the thinking goes that there are enough grey politicians in the Commission team already and why not get someone in with a new vision; someone off-the-wall, outside-the-envelope and open to new ideas.
Best of all, in the midst of an online explanation about her experience of seeing environments shift once mindsets shift, she interrupted herself to say: " People can argue that that's bollocks and just the philosophy of a dreamer, but come and join us".
Violeta, please, please use exactly that phrase to MEPs during your confirmation hearing, which will be the most watched in the admittedly short history of Commission confirmation hearings.
And make sure MEPs are aware that you are "interested in things that lie beyond human reason". Such as MEPs.
They'll hate it so much they'll love it, and so will the rest of us.
And don't worry, you won't get rejected - they wouldn't dare. You tick plenty of boxes, and most of them are ones nobody knew existed.
The EU needs a fresh approach and you, Violeta, most emphatically, are it.

Wilmington's Memorial Day Parade is the Oldest in the Nation
Dan Metz May 23, 2019
It was 1868, and the bloodiest war in America's history—past, present or future—had ended three years earlier, leaving 600,000 boys and men dead. On May 5, Gen. John A. Logan, commander-in-chief of the Civil War veterans' association Grand Army of the Republic, sent out a message from its Washington, D.C., headquarters. It called for local chapters to dedicate May 30 to the remembrance of fallen comrades in the Civil War.
That day marked the first Memorial Day. For 151 years, the city of Wilmington has hosted a parade by United States veterans on May 30, ending in a ceremony honoring fallen comrades from all wars and the sacrifices they made. This year will mark the 152nd year of the event, the oldest consecutively run Memorial Day parade in the country.
Parade chairman Tom Kenney has been involved with the parade since 1994, when many committee members were veterans of World War II and Korea. "Our job is to remember people who died…to remind people that May 30 is about people who gave their lives so we can live the way we do."
Today, the Wilmington parade is joined by 15-20 other parades and ceremonies taking place in the First State on and around Memorial Day.
In its heyday through the 1950s, the Wilmington Memorial Day Parade was routinely attended by 20,000 people, with thousands marching through the city. Today's ceremony is much smaller, but Kenney says he doesn't mind.
"People have moved out, and they've taken that tradition with them," he says, "There's an emphasis all across the state now to have Memorial Day services. In that sense, we're succeeding in our goal of engaging others to keep the remembrance."
Wilmington's 152nd Memorial Day Parade will take place at 6 p.m. on Thursday, May 30. The parade starts at Delaware Avenue and Woodlawn Avenue, and proceeds down Delaware Avenue to the Civil War Monument on Broom Street. For more information, visit wilmingtonmemorialdayparade.com.

Sciency Thoughts: Neptune reaches Solar Conjunction.
The planet Neptune will reach Solar Conjunction (i.e. be directly on the other side of the Sun from the Earth) at 1.56 pm GMT on Sunday 4 March 2018. This means that it will both be at its furthest from the Earth this year, about 30.94 AU (30.94 times the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, or about 4 629 000 000 km), and while not completely obscured by the Sun, due to differences in the tilts of the orbits of Earth and Neptune, it will be close enough to the Sun to be invisible for several weeks.
The relative positions of Neptune and Earth at Solar Conjunction (not to scale). Bob's Spaces.
Neptune orbits the Sun at an average distance of 30.11 AU, completing one orbit around the Sun every 165 years. This means that the planet is almost stationary compared to the faster moving Earth, so that it reaches Solar Conjunction only four days later each year than the year before, and reaches opposition (when it is directly opposite the Sun seen from the Earth), roughly six months later.

SeaDream Yacht Club: Five-star, all-inclusive, small-ship experience
May 7, 2022 by Gerry Barker
MIAMI BEACH_Whether you call it yachting or cruising, SeaDream Yacht Club's two ships — SeaDream I and SeaDream II — have earned numerous accolades and industry awards for providing a five-star, all-inclusive, small-ship experience for their guests.
Here at Seatrade Cruise Global, SeaDream Public Relations Manager Adrienne D'Annunzio gave the media an update for the Norway-headquartered company, which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary.
At the top of what's new is the recent upgrade just completed on SeaDream II, the result of a $10 million makeover of both vessels. SeaDream I's refit is also nearing completion and will sail its first voyage out of dry dock in Portugal on May 19, from Lisbon to Barcelona.
Each ship's 56 staterooms accommodate 112 guests and 95 crew, almost a 1-to-1 ratio. The recent stem-to-stern upgrade made a number of enhancements, including:
— Complete renovation of staterooms, refurbished from the bare steel.
— New technology in the staterooms, featuring USB/USBC charging ports, Wi-Fi, sensor lighting and new 55-inch LED TVs.
— New Bolidt decking on all outside decks.
— New Seóra Balinese Dream Beds. One of the iconic experiences on SeaDream is sleeping under the stars.
— Two new couples Jacuzzis on Deck 6 and two new outdoor rain showers.
One of the ship's popular area is the marina, where guests can enjoy a variety of water sports "toys." There's a spa onboard as well.
Ms. D'Annunzio talked about their trademark service, which she described as "attentive without being stuffy." Just like yachting, guests enjoy the casual approach to sailing. Since the ships are small, their ability to visit small ports and out-of-the-way destinations is also akin to private yachting.
She also pointed out that while the SeaDream ships don't have balconies, they aren't really missed "because there is so much open deck space" and so much of what happens is outside, including dining.
Speaking of dining, another hallmark of SeaDream is the food. Ms. D'Annunzio said SeaDream was "one of the first to offer a vegan menu," and they have recently partnered with Hippocrates Wellness in West Palm Beach to craft a "delicious raw food menu." One of the perks they offer is a chance to go shopping with the chef. Not only can you enjoy the gourmet food, but also help pick it out.
The Champagne and Caviar Splash
Another tradition guests enjoy is the "Champagne and Caviar Splash," usually held off Jost Van Dyke is the British Virgin Islands. Crystal waters and a glass of bubbly? Sign us up!
The two ships split their time between the Caribbean and the Mediterranean, and she added that "25 percent of our business is private charters."
She ended by showing a photo of a SeaDream ship docked beside one of the new megaships, adding on one occasion they were by a ship where "their lifeboats held more people than our ship."
One final note: A planned third SeaDream ship, Innovation, is still a possibility, although for now it's on hold.

What's the difference between cleaners, sanitizers, and disinfectants?
Cleaners or detergents are products that are used to remove soil, dirt, dust, organic matter, and germs (like bacteria, viruses, and fungi). Cleaners or detergents work by washing the surface to lift dirt and germs off surfaces so they can be rinsed away with water.
The same thing happens when you wash your hands with soap and water or when you wash dishes. Rinsing is an important part of the cleaning process. Use these products for routine cleaning of surfaces.
Sanitizers are used to reduce germs from surfaces but not totally get rid of them. Sanitizers reduce the germs from surfaces to levels that are considered safe.
Disinfectants are chemical products that destroy or inactivate germs and prevent them from growing. Disinfectants have no effect on dirt, soil, or dust. Disinfectants are regulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). You can use a disinfectant after cleaning for surfaces that have visible blood or drainage from infected skin.
Disinfectants effective against Staphylococcus aureus or staph are most likely also effective against MRSA. These products are readily available from grocery stores and other retail stores.
Be sure to check the disinfectant product's label on the back of the container. Most, if not all, disinfectant manufacturers will provide a list of germs on their label that their product can destroy. Each cleaner and disinfectant has instructions on the label that tell you important facts.
Disinfectants kill only select strains of germs. No disinfectant is capable of killing all germs found on a hard surface. The absence of all germs is referred to as sterilization. This is a process that surpasses the efficacy level achieved with any disinfectant solution.
Harmony Environmental uses Steramist, a special system that effectively eliminates pathogenic bacteria as it disinfects, with a kill rate of 99.999%. When you want to be safe and sure, please contact us for assistance.


Most credit card companies are hastening to replace their old style magnetic stripe cards with the new EMV chip-embedded ones. The new embedded chips are designed with one purpose in mind: to add an extra layer of security to credit card purchases and to make fraud much less likely. The good news is, the new chips will do their work very well, and your purchases will be more secure than ever before.
You get an email. It looks legitimate. It looks exactly like an email from your bank should look, complete with the proper formatting and logos. The body of the message says that your new, vastly more secure credit card is ready to be sent to you, but before they can send it out, they just need to verify a few pieces of information. Then of course, there's the requisite link, which takes you to an online form box where the hackers politely ask you to give them all of your personal information. Name, address, date of birth, social security number, phone number, and of course, you'll need to verify the number of the card you're using.
The moment you do all of that, you're done. They've got everything they need to steal your identity. Don't let that happen to you. The reality is that your bank doesn't need you to verify any of that information, why would they? They've already got it. Even if they didn't have it, they wouldn't ask you for it via an unsecure channel like email.
Hackers and scammers will go to great lengths to steal from you. They'll happily take everything you have if you let them. Don't fall for their games.


Former Conservative leadership candidate Maxime Bernier split from the Conservative Party of Canada this week in a stunning defiance of current head Andrew Scheer.
Bernier's plans to start his own party has many policy analysts posturing about what impact this move could have on the 2019 federal election.
To answer this question, a postdoctoral fellow with the University of Toronto's history department, Christo Aivalis, explained that it depends on which policy points Bernier chooses to highlight in his platform.
"Bernier really tried to combine his pro-free-market ideology with a real skepticism of multiculturalism, of diversity, for any kind of discourse around race and gender that talks about privilege," explained Aivalis, whose research primarily focuses on Canadian labour and political history.
Based on points he's emphasized throughout his tenure as a vocal Conservative MP, Aivalis said it's reasonable to assume Bernier's party platform will be "stridently free market," and may direct a critical eye towards Canadian immigration policy and multiculturalism.
"I have come to realize over the past year that this party is too intellectually and morally corrupt to be reformed," Bernier said in his exit announcement.
Bernier has frequently and vocally opposed Canada's supply management system for dairy, eggs and other poultry products, which attempts to limit the supply of products to what Canadians are likely to consume to ensure stable pricing.
In his final speech, Bernier again referenced supply management as a Conservative Party policy point with which he disagreed.
"I know for a fact that many in the caucus privately oppose supply management, but buying votes in a few key ridings is more important than defending the interest of our Canadians," Bernier concluded in his announcement.
Aivalis agrees that abandoning Canada's supply management system, "which is obviously a big contention point between him and Scheer," would likely be at the forefront of a political party led by Bernier.
Aivalis also predicts that Bernier could turn on public health care and other publicly available services, given his historically free-market leanings.
"He'll probably take a more aggressive position on the privatization of public services, on maybe allowing a private option for Medicare," said Aivalis.
Bernier has also often added his voice to the telecom debate, pledging in the past to phase out the CRTC as a telecom regulator and allow foreign communications companies such as Verizon to operate in Canada to bring more competition to the telecom space.
"He might, if he finds a measure of power, lower taxes [and] open up certain economic barriers," he added.
In recent months, Bernier has made a point of criticizing both the Trudeau government and the Conservative Party's embrace of multiculturalism. Aivalis predicts that the immigration policies of his new political party could resemble the current Trump administration more than it does any current Canadian political parties at the federal level.
"In terms of multiculturalism, it's sort of a third rail in Canadian politics. You can't really be against it. Bernier seems to be saying that this extreme multiculturalism has become something unpalatable to real Canadians if you will," said Aivalis.

"The whole strategy of the party is to play identity politics, pander to various immigrant groups and buy votes with promises just like the Liberals," said Bernier, referring to the Conservative Party, in his exit speech.
Aivalis highlighted some of Bernier's comments about immigration in recent months, including many that have been critical of who is admitted through Canada's immigration system.
"He's said that one of our problems in Canada is that we accept people that won't accept our values. What's his solution for that? We don't know yet," said Aivalis.
What does this mean for the Conservative Party in the 2019 vote?
In light of his dramatic departure, many are openly questioning whether Bernier's fledgling political movement is enough to make a dent in Conservative support in the upcoming 2019 election.
Jason Lietaer, the former Executive Director of the Conservative Resource Group, reporting to Prime Minister Stephen Harper, tweeted that just losing one or two per cent of the Conservative base could spell trouble for Scheer.
Lietaer told Akin on Twitter earlier that day that "we're going to need every vote we can scrounge," meaning that simply losing one to two per cent of the Conservative vote could be "devastating" for Scheer.
We're gonna need every vote we can scrounge. Scheer (like most first time candidates) is a longshot. When Conservatives are divided, Liberals win. Simple math. Even if he took 1-2 per cent of the vote it's devastating. What a fool.
Even former Prime Minister Stephen Harper suggested that Bernier was attempting to divide Conservatives.
It is clear that Max never accepted the result of the leadership vote and seeks only to divide Conservatives. His decision today allows the Conservative Party of Canada to move forward united behind our Leader @AndrewScheer.
However, Aivalis offers another alternative — one where Bernier's political party situates so far to the right that his proposals wind up alienating many right-of-centre Canadians. Should Bernier champion ideas such as privatized health care, for example, the Conservative Party now has the opportunity to present a slightly more moderate option.
This way, Aivalis speculates that Scheer may be able to gather votes from both moderate and staunch Conservatives. Furthermore, Aivalis suggests that Bernier's right-leaning policies could shift the boundaries of what's politically acceptable to more traditionally Conservative territory.
