Network advance rights of women to own land, to address child marriages
March 11, 2021 Watipaso Mzungu – Nyasa Times 1 Comment
In a last ditch attempt to wipe out cases of child marriages and property grabbing in Ntchisi district, NGO Gender Coordination Network (NGOGCN) has facilitated the formation of Ntchisi Women's Movement to challenge patriarchal cultural norms and religious beliefs that perpetuate power imbalances between men and women.

The movement is also expected to spearhead the promotion of women's rights to access and own land in the district.
The 2019 Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) report says power imbalances that exist between men and women advanced by patriarchal cultural norms, religious beliefs, formal laws and policies increase the vulnerability of women to gender based violence.
The report, which is titled 'The Status of Women in Malawi and Widowhood', states that this 'rule of thumb' dates back to laws, such as Judeo-Christian religious ideas, Greek philosophy and Common law legal codes, that gave man permission to have authority over his wife.
It says as a result of this deeply entrenched patriarchal culture that encourages and rewards male domination, men are more likely to use violence to keep their dominant position in many important areas of live-both public and private.
With funding from United Nations (UN) Women and European Union (EU) through the Spotlight Initiative Project, NGOGCN has taken bold steps towards correcting these wrongs in six districts in Malawi.
The network has mobilized grassroots women's rights groups to form the movement in an effort to amplify their voice.
NGOGCN programme associate and Spotlight Initiative Project contact person for in Ntchisi and Mzimba, Vincent Chinyama, said his organization realized that there was lack of coordination among grassroots women's rights activists and; hence, they could not speak with one voice on matters that affect them.
Chinyama said the network decided to form the movements to bring the women together in order to increase and improve their level of advocacy.
"There's greater voice for advocacy by the women if they can together. In all this, NGOGCN wants to see an end to GBV and child marriages besides ensuring that there is sustainability in empowering women so that when the project ends, they can be able to carry on with the movement and deal with the issues that they are affecting them," he said.
And speaking on Thursday on the sidelines of the capacity building training workshop, Ntchisi Women's Movement vice chairperson, Olipa Moses, said the formation of the movement is the first step grassroots women's rights activists have taken to challenge these harmful cultural practices.
"By the end of the day, we want to address the glaring gender disparities in our society, including education, agriculture, health, employment, credit accessibility, and political participation because they increase women's vulnerability and encourage women to remain dependent and disadvantaged in the socio-economic, legal and political arenas of society throughout their life cycle from childhood to elder-hood," said Moses.

Iako Interview
Iako is a young pianist and musician who defines himself as a singer song-writer presenting himself with a moody and evocative six tracks EP called "Queen of Balance", that he describes as: "Dark. And Very Personal", a trait he'd like to keep in all of his songs and future projects. He recognizes the genre he makes within the footprints of Indi Folk music and Rock, he has
been listening to since a long time, and the decision to follow this path was spontaneous: "I didn't sit down and think about the genre, it was a natural process".
The themes of the EP he recorded in the studio with his four piece band at the time, plus a violin he had written music for, are connected to a strong contrasting feeling of belonging and not belonging, typical of whom left home to move somewhere else. "I'm from Venice, and London is very different" says Iako. "The pace, the time in which everything happens. I tried to transpose these feelings of keeping up with both life styles, and personalities" something it is in fact quite easy to empathize with.
But his personal experiences aren't the only inspiration for Iako: nature and its elements, then, of course, water. Water he misses so much it remains at the back of his head when he composes or writes lyrics, keeping his songs liquid and smooth. And because time seems to be a problem in the big city of lights such as London, he doesn't miss a chance to write down a thought that can further develop into a song.
The creative process he worked out for himself wasn't always straight forward: "When I started writing at the beginning I wasn't comfortable with lyrics, it was more about sounds I then tried to fit a concept into". Nowadays though, Iako writes down notes at any time, even just one sentence, ore simply a concept to then expand it into a song. But the process still
keeps lyrics and music separate, before they match organically with each other.
"I didn't grow up as a musician" Iako reveals "I studied Ancient Greek, Latin and Literature and I thought this is what I was going to do with my life". And when he first moved away he wasn't comfortable with performing live at all, but still while working a full time job pushed himself to play at open-mic events every day. "I was really bad at it" he laughs it away now. Now his gigs run smooth, and he admits people's reaction is a sensation: "You can transpose yourself, see yourself on their faces when they listen to you". A priceless spectacle maybe you get only by winning a soccer match (since we spotted a weakness for sports).
When asked what does your future in music look like, Iako's answer is incredibly well defined: "I always had this feeling I needed much bigger sounds, that the songs I was writing needed bigger arrangements, bigger atmospheres". He thinks when it will become a realistic possibility, he'll put up a nine piece band. "I want to keep experimenting with music now, but
the ultimate goal is to open my own label, or a multicultural space where I can invest in young talent, organize events not only for music but for art too".
Thank you IAKO, Soundeon is impressed by your progress! Have a listen to IAKO's liquid music here and stay tuned for his bright future projects:

Notes from TNT's NBA Tip-Off Presented by AutoTrader.com – Thursday, Jan. 29, 2015
2015 NBA All-Star Reserves Exclusively Announced on TNT
TNT is the exclusive home of extensive live NBA All-Star coverage including all of the marquee events from New York. Programming highlights include the BBVA Compass Rising Stars Challenge on Friday, Feb. 13; State Farm All-Star Saturday Night featuring the Degree Shooting Stars, Taco Bell Skills Challenge, Foot Locker Three-Point Contest and Sprite Slam Dunk on Saturday, Feb. 14; and the 2015 NBA All-Star Game on Sunday, Feb. 15.
**** **** **** ****
TNT NBA Tip-off presented by AutoTrader.com
Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Shaquille O'Neal and Kenny Smith
Western Conference All-Star reserves:
James Harden Houston Rockets
Klay Thompson Golden State Warriors
Kevin Durant Oklahoma City Thunder
Russell Westbrook Oklahoma City Thunder
Chris Paul Portland Trail Blazers
Barkley on Sacramento Kings center DeMarcus Cousins being left off the Western Conference All-Star team: "DeMarcus Cousins deserved to make the All-Star team…the kid is a hell of a player."
Barkley on Portland Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard: "I have a serious problem with Damian Lillard not making this team. That's really not fair. I love [Thunder forward] Kevin Durant, but he hasn't played enough games. This isn't a lifetime achievement award. Lillard is having a terrific year."
Barkley on Thunder forward Kevin Durant making the All-Star team: "Kevin Durant is the second best player in the world, but he has not played enough games to be an All-Star."
Smith on Durant: "We all know he's an All-Star. He's an MVP. However, there is validity to [basing All-Star selections] off of the amount of games they've played and the type of season they are having to this point. Damian Lillard and DeMarcus Cousins have played well enough in the games that they've played this season to be on this list. I believe in Kevin Durant, but 21 games isn't enough."
Barkley on the two Thunder players, Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, making the All-Star team: "If the playoffs started today, the Thunder wouldn't be in it…and they get two All-Stars? That's not right."
O'Neal on choosing All-Stars based on individual accomplishments: "All-Star is singular. [Kings center DeMarcus] Cousins is an All-Star, he's playing like an All-Star, and like the best center in the league. His feelings are hurt and my feelings are hurt for him. He definitely got snubbed today."
Smith on choosing between Western Conference point guards Damian Lillard and Chris Paul: "Damian Lillard is having a better year than Chris Paul. Lillard got snubbed when he was left off of the USA Men's Basketball team, and now the All-Star team."
Smith on Rockets center Dwight Howard missing the All-Star team for the first time in eight years: "It's because of injuries. He's been hurt, and hasn't played enough games consistently to say he's an All-Star. He is arguably one of the top two centers in the league. For the same reason we said 'no Kevin Durant,' they said 'no Dwight Howard.' Also, the Rockets won games while Howard wasn't there."
Eastern Conference All-Star reserves:
Kyrie Irving Cleveland Cavaliers
Chris Bosh Miami Heat
Jimmy Butler Chicago Bulls
Al Horford Atlanta Hawks
Dwyane Wade Atlanta Hawks
Smith on who was snubbed in the East: "The guys I feel for in the East are [Milwaukee Bucks point guard] Brandon Knight and [Atlanta Hawks shooting guard] Kyle Korver."
Barkley on Heat veteran Dwyane Wade as an Eastern Conference All-Star: "Dwyane Wade shouldn't have made the All-Star team. He is a Hall of Famer, but he didn't deserve to be an All-Star this year. [Heat center Chris] Bosh has been the best player for Miami this year. Brandon Knight in Milwaukee, Brandon Jennings in Detroit or Kyle Korver in Atlanta should have been rewarded for having good seasons. This might be the only time Knight, Jennings or Korver have a chance to make the All-Star team. I always give the edge to guys who are winning. Dwyane Wade is not having an All-Star year."
Barkley on why Hawks sharpshooter Kyle Korver deserves to be an All-Star: "I always give the edge to guys who are winning. I would fine guys who left him wide open if I coached a team. Even if you have to hold his hand, don't leave him shoot."
O'Neal on Wizards center Marcin Gortat: "I think Marcin Gortat got snubbed. I think he is having a wonderful year. Washington is playing very well, and he is a vital part of that."
Barkley on naming veteran stars to the All-Star teams over players having better years: "We all know who used to be great, but you can't keep rewarding guys for what they used to be."
Barkley on whether Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving or Bucks point guard Brandon Knight deserved to be an All-Star more: "Kyrie is incredible. Irving is a better all-around player, but for the first half of the season, Brandon Knight was better. He lifted his team to greater heights."
Notes from NBA on TNT Coverage – Thursday, Jan. 29, 2015
TNT's NBA coverage will continue on Thursday, Feb. 5, at 8 p.m. ET with a doubleheader featuring the Los Angeles Clippers @ Cleveland Cavaliers followed by the Phoenix Suns @ Portland Trail Blazers at 10:30 p.m.
Denver Nuggets (69) @ Memphis Grizzlies (99)
Brian Anderson (play-by-play) and Reggie Miller (analyst) with David Aldridge (reporter)
Miller on the Memphis Grizzlies: "Even before they went out and got [forward] Jeff Green, I thought this team was the best in the West. They have a great floor general in [point guard] Mike Conley and two bigs down low in [center] Marc Gasol and [power forward] Zach Randolph who pound the paint. They are tough to beat."
Miller on Grizzlies All-Star center Marc Gasol: "I think what Marc Gasol does at both ends, as well as his passing ability, really separates him from the other centers in the league."
Miller on Memphis forward Tony Allen: "This is why the Memphis Grizzlies are a special team. Tony Allen had been the starter on this team for the past few years, through all their success. When they went out and got Jeff Green, this young man basically gave up his starting position. Allen is all about grit, hard work and toughness at the defensive end. That is a selfless player. It makes the Grizzlies bench that much better."
Miller on the positive effect the Jeff Green trade has had on the Grizzlies: "[Memphis forward] Jeff Green brings a level of athleticism that this team has not seen. No disrespect to [Grizzlies guard] Courtney Lee or Tony Allen, but at 6'9" Green has an ability to both stretch the floor and knock down threes."
Miller on how the Grizzlies get it done on the defensive end: "They don't put you on the free-throw line a lot. They don't foul you, so you have to make shots against their stingy defense. That has always been the mark of a championship team."
Miller on the frontcourt duo of Marc Gazol and Zach Randolph: "We always get into the great debate of the best backcourt. We talk about the Splash Brothers, John Wall and Bradley Beal…but what about the best big man duos in the game today? I would certainly pick Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol as the best frontcourt duo."
Miller on Green replacing Allen in the Grizzlies' starting lineup: "This is a team that is going to go much further with Jeff Green on the floor than it would with Tony Allen. That's not to say anything bad about Allen. His minutes will be very valuable in the starting unit."
Miller on Nuggets power forward Kenneth Faried: "There is no way Faried is going to be able to handle [Grizzlies power forward] Zach Randolph down low."
Miller on Nuggets point guard Ty Lawson: "Lawson leads the nuggets in scoring, assists and steals, but his game has been very inconsistent. If he wants to be the floor general on this team, he has to be consistent every night."
Miller on Faried: "He's a high energy guy. When he is able to get the guy off the glass and go coast to coast, you can see that athleticism."
Miller on Nuggets guard Jameer Nelson: "Take away what he does on the court, his most valuable contribution has been in the locker room. His leadership and veteran savvy have really rubbed off on the young players on the Nuggets."
Miller on the future of the Denver Nuggets: "How are the Nuggets doing? I just don't know what direction or path they want to take. Before the season started, they were supposed to be one of those teams fighting for that eighth spot. They have kind of been a rollercoaster team all season."
Miller on Faried: "I was expecting a bigger and better season from Kenneth Faried. I thought coming off that gold medal this summer and playing with USA Men's Basketball, being that energy guy off the bench for Coach K, that confidence wise, he would come in and play like gangbusters. He hasn't done that. His numbers are the same, but he's not quite the same player confidence wise."
Miller on Nuggets center JaVale McGee: "He has loads of talent and great athleticism."

Kevin Harlan (play-by-play) and Brent Barry (analyst) with Lewis Johnson (reporter)
Barry on newly named All-Star guard Jimmy Butler: "He is absolutely remarkable this year. The things that he has been able to do and show regarding the growth of his game are great. He can post up at the 2-guard position. He can defend the best player on the opposing team whether that is a two or three man…well deserved All-Star appearance with many more to come. This guy works and goes about his business."
Barry on guard Derrick Rose learning how to be a great player: "The greatest players in our league motivate themselves just because they are out here competing."
Barry on shooting guard Mike Dunleavy: "He doesn't stop on the offensive end of the floor but is constantly moving…he's one of the better three-point shooters in the league."
Barry on Lakers guard Jordan Clarkson's athleticism: "I saw him play last summer in Las Vegas and there were signs of what Jordan Clarkson can do on the court where you raised an eyebrow to his potential. Can he find his way to be a point guard in this league where most of them dominate the game? I'm not sure if he is ready for that test but this season will pay some dividends."
Barry on the Lakers' bench: "The Lakers have guys coming off the bench that have started in the league: Carlos Boozer, Jeremy Lin…these guys are capable of putting points on the board."

Johnson, Barkley, O'Neal and Smith
Barkley on Bulls guard Derrick Rose: "Derrick Rose is still playing like the old Derrick Rose. He's got to learn that he is not the same guy. He has to learn to play with Jimmy Butler. You are a great player when you play with other great players. You shouldn't try to do too much."
Barkley on Derrick Rose: "He has to realize he's not the MVP anymore."
Barkley on Rose sharing the field: "You have to adjust. He can't shoot 33 times. It was like when he was a one-man crew…but, in my opinion, Jimmy Butler is the best player on the team and he is also playing with the best offensive big man he's ever had."
O'Neal on what the Bulls need to work on: "They need to get their identity back on defense and create easy shots. Offense is not the problem, defense is."
Barkley on Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol: "The best power forward center combination in the NBA."
Barkley on Denver Nuggets: "We blame the coaches all the time and these players never take responsibility. It's hard to lose an NBA game by 30 points. I feel bad because Brian is a really nice guy and a good coach. It's a players league and sometimes the coach gets thrown under the bus."
Smith on how the Nuggets lack effort: "They have to beat you one way. If they don't play you that way, they are going to lose."

Chaos in Central Asia After the Death of Alexander the Great
Tristan Hughes
@ancientstristan
Thibron's hoplites would have fought as hoplites, with a 2 metre-long 'doru' spear and 'hoplon' shield.
Alexander the Great's death marked the start of a period of tumultuous upheaval, as his fragile empire quickly began to fragment. In Babylon, Athens and Bactria, insurrection erupted against the new regime.
This is the story of the Greek revolt in Bactria.
Alexander conquers Central Asia
In the spring of 329 BC, Alexander the Great crossed the Hindu Kush and arrived in Bactria and Sogdia (modern Afghanistan and Uzbekistan today), both home to ancient civilisations.
Alexander's two-year long campaign in the land proved arguably the toughest in his whole career. Where he won a resounding victory, elsewhere detachments of his army suffered humiliating defeats.
Ultimately, Alexander did manage to restore some sort of stability to the region, seemingly cemented by his marriage to the Sogdian noblewoman Roxana. With that, Alexander departed Bactria for India.

Alexander did not leave Bactria-Sogdia lightly-defended however. Hostile bands of Sogdian-Scythian cavalry still roamed the province's countryside, so the Macedonian king left a large force of Greek 'hoplite' mercenaries to serve as a garrison in the region.
For these mercenaries, being stationed on a far edge of the known world was far from satisfactory. They were confined to an arid landscape, hundreds of miles away from the nearest sea and surrounded by enemies; resentment was bubbling up among their ranks.
In 325 BC, when rumour reached the garrisons that Alexander had died in India, a revolt had erupted among the mercenaries, culminating in 3,000 soldiers leaving their posts and commencing a long journey home towards Europe. Their fate is unknown, but it was a signal of things to come.
Alexander is dead, time to revolt
Two years later, when concrete confirmation of Alexander the Great's death reached the frontiersmen that still remained in Bactria, they saw this as their time to act.
They submitted while the king was alive through fear, but when he was dead they rose in revolt.
There was great upheaval all across the region. Garrison posts were emptied; soldiers began to assemble. In very little time the assembled force numbered in the thousands, readying themselves for the journey back to Europe.
In command they selected a well-reputed mercenary general called Philon. Little is known of Philon's background, except that he came from the fertile region of Aeniania, west of Thermopylae. His assembling of this great host was a notable logistical achievement in itself.
Fresco in Greece showing soldiers in Alexander's army.
Gathering this force and the necessary supplies took time, and it was time that Perdiccas' new regime in Babylon were sure to take advantage of.
The regent knew he had to act. Unlike in the west, where several forces commanded by famous generals stood ready to oppose the rebel Athenians, no sizeable army stood between Philon and Babylon. Quickly, Perdiccas and his generals mustered a force to march east and crush the revolt.
Dan finds out what's going on with recent excavations at Vindolanda, one of the largest Roman forts near Hadrian's Wall. All manner of discoveries have been made, including the largest collection of Roman footwear found anywhere in the world.
3,800 reluctant Macedonians were chosen to form the nucleus of the army and equipped to fight in the Macedonian phalanx. Aiding them were some 18,000 soldiers mustered from the eastern provinces. In command, Perdiccas placed Peithon, another of Alexander the Great's former bodyguards.
Peithon's force, numbering some 22,000 men, marched east and reached Bactria's borders. It wasn't long before they were confronted by Philon's force – the site of the battlefield is unknown. By then Philon's force had grown to a remarkable size: 23,000 men in total – 20,000 infantry and 3,000 cavalry.
For Peithon the upcoming battle would not be easy. The enemy army surpassed his own force in both quality and quantity. Nevertheless battle loomed.
A swift conclusion
Fighting commenced, and Philon's force soon started to gain the advantage. Just as victory seemed near, the mercenaries saw 3,000 of their comrades peel off from the battle line and retreat to a nearby hill.
The mercenaries panicked. Had these 3,000 men retreated? Were they about to be encircled? In a state of confusion, Philon's battle line crumbled. A full rout soon followed. Peithon had won the day.
So why had these 3,000 men deserted Philon when victory was within grasp?
Tom Holland traces the history of Islam through the centuries, and its interaction and impact on Christendom and the modern-day western world.
The reason was Peithon's clever diplomacy. Prior to the battle Peithon had used one of his spies to infiltrate the enemy camp and make contact with Letodorus, the commander of these 3,000 men. The spy relayed to Leotodorus the unimaginable wealth Peithon promised him if the general defected to them mid-battle.
Letodorus defected, and swung the battle in the process. Peithon had earned a remarkable victory, but a large force of mercenaries survived the fight and regrouped away from the battlefield. Peithon therefore sent a messenger to their camp, offering a peaceful solution.
He offered them safe passage back to Greece, if only they would cast down their weapons and join his men in a public ceremony of reconciliation. Delighted, the mercenaries agreed. The fighting was at an end… or so it seemed.
As the mercenaries intermingled with the Macedonians, the latter drew their swords and started slaughtering the defenceless hoplites. By the end of the day, the mercenaries lay dead in their thousands.
The order had originated from Perdiccas, who had wanted to send a harsh lesson to those mercenaries who remained in service around the empire: there would be no mercy for traitors.
It is also said that he suspected Peithon's ambitions, but this seems unlikely. If Perdiccas had doubted his lieutenant in the slightest, he would not have given him such an important command.
Having brutally extinguished the threat from the east, Peithon and his Macedonians returned to Babylon.
Letodorus and his men were presumably richly rewarded; Philon almost certainly lay dead somewhere on the plains of Bactria; those mercenaries that remained in Bactria accepted their fate – in time their descendants would forge one of antiquity's most remarkable kingdoms.

For Perdiccas and the Empire, the threat in the east had been quelled. But trouble in the west remained.

Answers sought on HSE's primary care plans
Posted on November 18, 2021 by John O'Mahony • 0 Comments
A sample schematic of the proposed Áras Phádraig development
THE Health Service Executive has been asked to clarify the exact extent of its interest in setting up a new primary care centre in the Áras Phádraig complex in Killarney.
At a presentation to local councillors on November 10, at which an overall plan for the site was outlined, Kerry County Council officials stated that the HSE had confirmed, in writing, that it would build a primary care centre at the location and that the costs of the centre would be met by the Department of Health.
But, according to Cllr Niall Kelleher, during an online HSE Regional Forum meeting this Thursday, senior officials were less than convincing when asked how advanced or how definite the plans were in relation to the Killarney proposal.
In a written response to Cllr Kelleher's query, Michael Fitzgerald, Chief Officer of the HSE's Cork Kerry Community Healthcare, said his organisation was currently completing "a scoping exercise" in the Killarney area to meet existing and future needs.

But Cllr Kelleher said the first time councillors in Killarney heard officially about a HSE commitment to a primary care centre was at the meeting of the council on November 10 when they were told that the HSE was fully committed to the project.
"The HSE seemed less sure of the commitment when I raised the issue today and I am now waiting for them to revert to me on the matter," said Cllr Kelleher.
Following today's meeting, a spokesperson for the HSE told KillarneyToday.com that the HSE is "in touch" with Kerry County Council regarding the development of a primary care Centre in Killarney.
"In addition to ongoing engagement between HSE Estates and Kerry County Council, the HSE will have further discussions with the local authority in the near future," the spokesperson added.
Cllr Kelleher said the Áras Phádraig site, donated to the town by the Franciscan Order, will have a huge role to play in the future development of the town so it's important that everything is done properly and nothing is left to chance.
Over 12 years after the Franciscan friars donated the facility to the people of Killarney, plans for a major redevelopment of the Áras Phádraig site on Lewis Road were finally revealed at the November 10 council meeting.
It will form one part of the €21.4 million urban regeneration proposals, €16m of which will be provided through the urban regeneration and development fund with €5.5m required in matched funding from Kerry County Council and other sources.
The section of the HSE update supplied to Cllr NiallKelleher outlining the situation regarding the Killarney plans
According to senior council officials, the new-look Áras Phádraig site will incorporate:
A Health Service Executive primary care centre
A theatre and arts space
A community space and meeting rooms
Educational facilities for the Kerry Parents and Friends Association
A café
An outdoor public plaza for markets and community events
Car parking for 400 vehicles, 352 above ground and 40 below

Graphine inventor Sir Konstantin Novoselov demonstrates a graphene lightbulb. Photo courtesy of the University of Manchester.
A lamp made with graphene, said by its U.K. developers to be the first commercially viable consumer product using the super-strong carbon, is to go on sale later this year, reports the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).
The dimmable lamp, containing a filament-shaped LED coated in graphene, was designed at the University of Manchester, where the material was discovered. It is said to cut energy use by 10% and last longer owing to its conductivity.
"The graphene light bulb will use less energy," Colin Bailey, the university's Deputy Vice-Chancellor told the BBC. "We expect it to last longer. The manufacturing costs are lower and it uses more and more sustainable components."
A micro-thin layer of graphene is stronger than steel and it has been dubbed a wonder material because of its potential uses. Graphene was discovered in 2004 by André Geim and Konstantin Novoselov, two Russian-born scientists at the university. The discovery earned them the Nobel Prize for Physics and knighthoods.
The lamp was developed by a Canadian-financed company called Graphene Lighting, one of whose directors is Colin Bailey. Last month the university officially opened the National Graphene Institute, which aims to be the world's leading centre of graphene research and commercialization.

Alexander Acosta Broke Federal Law in Jeffrey Epstein Sex Abuse Case, Judge Rules
Written by Julia Conley
(CD) — A U.S. District judge ruled Thursday that U.S. Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta committed a crime in 2007 when, as a U.S. prosecutor at the time, secretly gave a lenient plea deal to a politically-connected billionaire accused of sex trafficking underage girls.
In a case brought by victims of billionaire and Trump associate Jeffrey Epstein, Judge Kenneth Marra found that Acosta and other federal prosecutors violated the Crime Victims' Rights Act by brokering a plea deal with Epstein, allowing him to serve only 13 months in a county jail for his crimes, and then sealing the agreement.
The ruling came nearly three months after the Miami Herald's explosive report on the plea deal, which prompted the Justice Department to begin investigation into the prosecutors' conduct.
Marra's decision led to renewed calls for Acosta—who was appointed by President Donald Trump and who as head of the Labor Department is responsible for combating sex trafficking—to resign.
labor secretary alex acosta needs to resign. and never work again. back in 2008 he arranged a RIDICULOUS plea deal for pedophile jeffrey epstein and hid the agreement from victims. this is so sickening. https://t.co/1ZKjJuGBrT
— Joe Randazzo (@Randazzoj) February 21, 2019
it is probably the craziest thing in the world that nobody will even ask trump about whether acosta should resign for breaking the law by signing a secret plea deal with jeffrey epstein?????? https://t.co/puVXelEvtn
— Matt RATIO HOWARD SCHULTZ ON EVERY TWEET Negrin (@MattNegrin) February 21, 2019
Time for Acosta to resign. https://t.co/MhukmMWV8d
— Matthew Chapman (@fawfulfan) February 21, 2019
By sealing Epstein's plea agreement, Acosta stole from more than 30 of Epstein's victims—some of whom were as young as 13 when they were recruited by his paid employees and then coerced into sex acts by him—the chance to attend Epstein's sentencing and demand a harsher punishment.
"While the government spent untold hours negotiating the terms and implications of the [agreement] with Epstein's attorneys, scant information was shared with victims," Marra found.
"The government aligned themselves with Epstein, working against his victims, for 11 years," Brad Edwards, the attorney representing the women who survived Epstein's abuse, told the Herald. "Yes, this is a huge victory, but to make his victims suffer for 11 years, this should not have happened. Instead of admitting what they did, and doing the right thing, they spent 11 years fighting these girls."
The President who ran for office complaining that the system is rigged has a Cabinet secretary who as a prosecutor rigged the system in favor of a sex offender. https://t.co/AFcXZ4gjil
— Josh Greenman (@joshgreenman) February 21, 2019
Epstein's victims and the U.S. government now have 15 days to come to a resolution following Marra's ruling.

Natural Gas' Role in PJM
Posted By: Randy Burns
Topic: Fossil & Biomass
Conventional wisdom may say that natural gas is the primary fuel of electricity generation in the PJM region given the following two facts:
1. The Calendar Year 2014 strips for NYMEX Henry Hub and PJM West Hub have been approximately 95% correlated since 2008.
2. Natural gas usage for power generation has increased steadily since 2008 due to decreasing natural gas prices (in fact, Cal `14 gas futures have decreased 75% since 2009).
However, despite these two facts, the region is primarily fueled by coal and nuclear sources. In 2013, natural gas was only responsible for 17% for the electric generation in PJM in comparison to nuclear (37%) and coal (42%). The total of these three fuel types accounts for 96% of the total electric generation in PJM.
This region's fuel mix has remained fairly steady over the years when compared to other regions. Going forward, there may be more growth in natural gas generation due to recent EPA regulations intended to reduce carbon and mercury emissions. However, coal and nuclear power are solidly entrenched in the regional generation stack and change is not necessarily imminent.
So, why do the natural gas and power markets have such a strong correlation despite not owning the lion's share of the fuel source?
The answer lies in the methodology to determine the hourly power price. In PJM (and other regional ISOs), the power price is established by the last generation unit selected to meet demand at any given hour, which is known as the Locational Marginal Pricing (LMP). The LMP is the marginal energy cost, or the cost to serve the next increment of demand at the specific location, or node, that can be produced from the least expensive generating unit in the system that still has available capacity. Although it doesn't provide the bulk of the generation for each interval, natural gas is often the last generator to supply the grid due to its flexibility to be dispatched quickly on short notice whenever needed. Conversely, coal and nuclear plants are typically more associated with the base load generation or the amount of power needed to meet a region's continuous energy demand, but are not available or capable of providing the flexibility to meet the constant fluctuations of system demand.
Thanks to shale gas lowering the cost of gas generation, natural gas will likely continue to make inroads in the generation sector - likely at the expense of older coal plants being shut down.
Gas will continue to be the primary driver of prices. However, it will be difficult to reach a point where coal and nuclear fuel sources are not needed since these two fuels comprise almost 80% of the generation stack at this time.

PJM? Is that Patty Jean Meyer who sells me GSC ( i.e. Girl Scout Cookies).?
Thanks Don - and I though it stood for Peanuts Jam and Marmalade. I wondered what that had to do with gas prices. Must be getting old I think. :) Malcolm
Seriously though this is a really good article and an accurate picture of what is really going on out there in the big wide world of energy.
I will make one comment though that it is not just the price of natural gas that has affected generation costs it is also the now widespread use of combined cycle plants that have effectively double the amount of electricity you can get from a cubic foot of gas, Combined cycle plants are pushing 70% efficiency nowadays - more than double what gas plants could deliver 20 years ago.
But as gas prices go up coal is the obvious next choice.

Consider donating to Cheer Club this holiday season
The turkey has been carved, and the mashed potatoes and stuffing are just a distant memory now. That means The Mining Journal's annual Cheer Club, a community toy and gift drive to give back to those in need, is in full swing.
Community members are invited to donate toys at designated drop-off locations. Toys will then be collected by the Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul Marquette and distributed to area children. Cheer Club helps to put presents under the trees of families in need, said Mining Journal Interim Publisher Ann Troutman.
"The Mining Journal holds it every year because it is important for the community," Troutman said. "It's something that we've embraced and it's been very successful. It's a real need in the community and it's our way during the holidays of helping fill that need."
She encouraged community members to participate in the toy drive that helps to spread holiday cheer by giving with whatever one can.
"There are a lot of organizations out there that are taking care of essentials where the Cheer Club also just adds a little cheer for children during the holidays," Troutman said.
All gift and monetary donations made to Cheer Club will be given to St. Vincent de Paul and the Salvation Army.
"The generosity of the community is unbelievable. It is incredible," Troutman said.
Those who wish to recieve gifts from the Salvation Army this Christmas can register in the Marquette or Ishpeming Salvation Army offices. Registration is open until Dec. 6. and registrants must provide a driver's license or ID, proof of income and proof of residency. Registered families will be given a date and time, either Dec. 19 or 20, to come to this year's distribution site at the former Younker's store location in the Westwood Mall, explained Capt. Doug Winters with the Marquette Salvation Army.
"I think seeing the experience of parents that are in tears because they didn't think they would have enough toys for their kids for Christmas, that one experience alone is enough to drive this process year after year," Winters said. "There are families that just wouldn't have a Christmas without the generosity of the people who give to the Cheer Club."
Participating Cheer Club drop-off locations are:
≤ The Mining Journal, 249 W. Washington St., Marquette
≤ Range Bank locations at 100 N. Front St., Marquette; 250 N. McClellan Ave.; 216 W. Terrace, Harvey; and 601 U.S. 41, Negaunee
≤ Thomson & Metivier PC, 1901 W. Ridge St., Marquette
≤ Gwinn Ace Hardware, 193 E. M-35
≤ Salvation Army Marquette, 1009 W. Baraga Ave.
≤ Salvation Army Ishpeming, 222 E. Division St.
≤ St. Vincent de Paul Thirft Store, 2119 Presque Isle Ave., Marquette
The season of giving is upon us. Please consider making a donation to the Cheer Club — by doing so, you will be ensuring that a child in your community will have a great Christmas.

The vast majority know about the term that expresses that you don't need to pass judgment on the substance of a book by the cover, however for this situation, you should. If the cover resembles the creator didn't have any significant bearing any much exertion to make it look engaging, it additionally implies that the story itself is flat. Settle on a book that possess a great, and well-thought cover, and when you eventually read the book, you will realize that it is in great shape. The principal page's substance is critical if you need to understand whether the substance of the book are phenomenal. This is a decent marker of how whatever is left of the story progresses. If you can get enough attention from the book, then it also means that it will also grab the attention of the child when they start reading it. If time allows, read more than the main page. How is the plot or topic? You need to comprehend the story regardless of to what extent it is.

They understand a considerable measure of things that other individuals don't or ignore. That implies that they can tell quality simply as you can. If you have a good opinion about a book, then their opinion might complement yours. Furthermore, if you are of the opinion that something is awful, they won't have uncertainty about it. You should pick a book that affects your child positively.

Can you believe it's August and kids are going back to school already, where did the summer go? Today at Just-A-Scrappin' Aug 7, 2014 Challenge is using a favorite template - anything goes adding a few buttons. Make a cards, layouts, 3D projects or altered art. All embellishments, paper and card stock is from my stash so I do not have all the names of the companies.
1. I'm using 7gypsies Hanging Book album in clear acrylic for myself. I cut a dress from purple metallic paper with Cricut Forever Young cartridge at 3 1/4 inches <Model10-s>.
2. Adhered with Tombow permanent adhesive onto the button card.Then the card of buttons and dress to the acrylic page.
3. Add the fabric with Tombow to the acrylic page then placed the fabric trim from Mrs. Grossman's Design lines. Used Zot's glue dots minis to add the blue buttons to the fabric.
4. Computer printed on Office Max clear address label the "sorting buttons" that always goes with my sewing.
5. Last I placed the "laugh" at the top because all the buttons do not match just like in real life.

On a very lightly floured surface, roll out your pie dough and gently give it 1 roll-around with your rolling pin to get it night and flat after being rolled up.
Using a round cookie cutter (mine was about 2 1/2-3 inches, you could use the opening of a drinking glass instead that is about the same size) cut out 12 rounds of pie crust. Re-shape and roll the scraps of dough if needed.
Cover a cookie sheet with aluminum foil (or parchment paper/baking mat) and spray lightly with non-stick cooking spray.
Place 6 of the pieces of dough on the cookie sheet. Take a lollipop stick and press it into the piece of dough, making it stick about halfway up, repeat for the rest of the pieces of dough. Place 1 tablespoon of cheese onto each round, and then top each piece with 2 pieces of pepperoni.
Cover each piece with the remaining dough rounds, and using a fork crimp the edges shut. Gently brush the tops of dough with the beaten egg.
Mix together the parmesan, parsley and garlic powder. Sprinkle mixture on top of each pop.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the dough starts to turn golden brown. Serve with marinara, ranch dressing, alfredo sauce or anything you like..they are great just as they are!
Kayleigh thinks they are SO FUN!
Yum! And by the way your little girl is beautiful!
I am absolutely in love with this idea! Thanks for sharing!


You can't help but think maybe there is a little hype here. Wrong. Boy was I surprised. It really is that good and deserving of its rating. The guys at Boston restaurants know how to do a meal right and they sets the bar high.
