Week 12 Running Backs: Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds
by Rek 11/17/14 1:13 PM Follow Bobby
We are now heading into Week 12 of the fantasy football season, and many of you know what that means. That's right, if you play in a league with playoff byes you're only about two weeks away from playoff time.
Many of you are also either past your trade deadline or it's coming up at the end of this week. The list of methods you can use to find capable running backs is shortening very quickly.
Let me help you find some viable running backs or sleepers on the Week 12 waiver wire that you might be able to use for that playoff push. Good luck hitting the waiver wire this week RotoBallers.
Fantasy Football Running Backs (RB) - Week 12
Jonas Gray (RB, NE) - 14% owned on Fleaflicker
Has there ever been a bigger "duh" as far as fantasy football waiver wire pickups go? I'm pretty sure Jonas Gray will be the #1 waiver wire add across the entire fantasy football nation after posting up an otherworldly 199 yards and 4 TDs in Sunday nights trouncing of the Colts. Perhaps most impressive though is that he received 38 carries from Bill Belichick.
Gray is without a doubt the "feature back" in the New England offense, and after running with purpose and patience all game vs. the Colts, he should be looked at as a solid RB2/FLEX play going forward. His Week 12 matchup vs. the Lions is a tough one, but with the volume of touches he'll likely see, he is startable in most formats.
Tre Mason (RB, STL) - 47% owned on Fleaflicker
Tre Mason has made multiple appearances in this column. In fact, I think he's living up to his name of Tre by making his third appearance in this column. So, obviously I love the guy. But this isn't about why I love him, this is about why you should love him.
Tre "Cool" Mason rushed 29 times on Sunday for 113 yards. While the 3.9 yards per carry isn't overly impressive, the volume of touches and yardage total is. What chumps allowed Tre Cool to run all over them? Oh you know, just the Broncos. Otherwise known as a team that hadn't allowed a 100 yard rusher this season until Week 11.
In case that wasn't enough to assure you that Mason is the lead running back, look at the volume of touches he got today when the Rams were leading. Not many backs (not named Mark Ingram) get that volume of touches in today's game. The Rams should also play from behind less with Shaun Hill looking fairly effective in his return to the helm, leading to more rushing attempts in general.
What does this all mean? Well, if you listened to me about Mason in my past columns congrats! If you haven't yet, and he's still out there on the waiver wire, he should be one of your top priority claims going into Week 12. Tre Cool is worthy of being an RB2 in most league sizes.
C.J. Anderson (RB, DEN) - 47% owned on Fleaflicker
Speaking of priority claims, it seems like ages ago I was recommending C.J. Anderson as your top waiver wire pickup. Wait, it was only last week? My perception of time is clearly off.
Anyways, I hope you all listened to me because Anderson was one of the few Broncos to have a nice game this past Sunday. He rushed 9 times for 29 yards, but more importantly he had 8 receptions for 86 yards. That's a nice running back to own in all formats, but especially nice for all of you in PPR formats.
But wait Anderson owners... it gets better! You might find yourself asking how can it possibly get better when I plucked this guy off the waiver for very little? Well, I'm here to tell you it gets even sweeter. You see, Montee Ball had returned and was largely expected to take back his lead back role. However, Ball could do nothing when he was on the field and then he re-injured his groin. With both Ronnie Hillman and most likely Ball out for a while, look for Anderson to continue to be the lead back for the Broncos.
Being the lead back for a team that is one of the top scorers in the NFL is always juicy, and the same should hold true for Anderson. Heck, even when his team couldn't score much he found a way to get your fantasy team a ton of points. For those that were curious, I'd pick up Anderson before Mason, though it depends on the extent of Ball's injury and time on the shelf.
Alfred Blue (RB, HOU) - 35% owned on Fleaflicker
Arian Foster was injured this week, so Alfred Blue had to take on the role of lead running back this week. The man who shares a name with Batman's butler did all he could to prove he was worthy of a cooler nickname by rushing 36 times for 156 yards. The rushing attempts may be a franchise record, but I still see Blue as more of a sidekick than the main event.
Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad day for someone whose previous carry high in a game was 14. For those that don't remember Blue from when I wrote about him before, never fear I have you covered. He was the sixth round pick for the Texans in this past year's draft. Athletically speaking, he's nothing too special as he doesn't rank above the 50th percentile in any of the metrics that Player Profiler measures. Yet he somehow managed to have the game he did today, and I give him kudos for that.
However, I cannot recommend him as highly as Tre Mason or C.J. Anderson. It's a simple matter of opportunity, and early reports are that Arian Foster is due back in Week 12. Even so, if you are a Foster owner then Blue is a must own. If you are in a 12 team league, he's worth the bench depth since Foster tends to find himself injured quite a bit.
Bryce Brown (RB,BUF) - 19% owned on Fleaflicker
Last week I decided to focus on his teammate Anthony Dixon because I figured that Bryce Brown would be in the dog house for fumbling. Silly me, this is the same coaching staff that couldn't seem to get C.J. Spiller in space. Nothing they do makes logical sense.
In all fairness to Brown, he did have 100 all purpose yards last week so I suppose he deserved another opportunity. Bryce is also the more talented of the two backups to Fred Jackson, and it's reasonable to believe that the depth he provides is the reason the Bills traded for him. This past Sunday Brown didn't disappoint owners who took a chance on him. He rushed 6 times for only a gross 14 yards, but he caught 7 passes for 57 yards. Obviously his value was more in PPR leagues, but even in standard leagues he managed to get you about 7 points.
Similarly to Blue, Brown is not someone I can really recommend wholeheartedly. I'm worried for Brown because similarly to Foster / Blue early reports are Fred Jackson will be healthy for Week 12. However, if F-Jax can't go then Brown makes for a nice flex play against the Jets in Week 12. Brown is worth owning at this point if you're an F-Jax owner, or if you're banking on F-Jax getting hurt again which is not a bad bet.
Isaiah Crowell (RB,CLE) - 37% owned on Fleaflicker
The Browns running back situation has been a three headed monster. Just when you think you figured out which back is going to be the lead, suddenly it changes. However, one player according to scouts has always stood out from the pack. He's also been featured in this article before, and his name is Isaiah Crowell.
Funny enough, Crowell's best comparison athletically in the NFL is Bryce Brown. Much like Brown, Crowell ranks very high in his broad jumping ability and bench pressing ability. Both are fairly average in their other measured athletic talents though. However, unlike Brown Crowell has the opportunity to run away with the lead back job for the Browns.
You might be wondering why the spinner has stopped on Crowell this week instead of one of the other running backs that make up the Hydra system that the Browns like to go with. Well, against the Texans he rushed 14 times for 61 yards. You might be thinking that's not a big deal, but a 4.4 yards per carry average is pretty good against a defensive line featuring the Hercules of the NFL, better known as J.J. Watt.
I can't fully endorse Crowell because he still has to contend with Ben Tate and Terrance West, but for now he seems to be the guy. That's a good position to be in when your team is about to face one of the worst run defenses in the Atlanta Falcons. Crowell is a good Week 12 running back waiver wire pickup if you miss out on some of the other guys listed in this column.
Roy Helu (RB, WAS) - 34% owned on Fleaflicker
Let me start this by saying Washington is not a good team this year. Maybe they really should change their team name so they can focus on that rather than how much they stink on the field. However, that is coming from a Giants fan so it is a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Don't even get me started on how much the Giants stink this year.
Let's get back to focusing on what we came here for though. One bright spot for Washington this season has been a running back by the name of Roy Helu. Helu has really taken a step forward in the pass-catching game as evidenced by his 11.9 yards per reception this season as compared to a career average of 8.7 yards per reception. This past Sunday was no exception to Helu being one of the few bright spots, as he had the only touchdown for the team. He did it by catching 6 passes for 57 yards. Alfred Morris didn't have a bad day running the ball either, but it's intriguing to note that no other "receiver" had over 40 yards for Washington in the game.
Unlike most of the other guys listed here, Helu has been in the league for a few years now. But as I mentioned earlier, he's seeing his highest yards per reception totals in his career, oh and also his highest yards per rushing attempt totals as well. Did I also mention that he also ranks in the 90th percentile or better for his 40 yard dash and agility scores? Seems like a case of an athletically talented guy finally putting it together. I'd roll the dice on Helu in 12 team leagues or deeper, especially if I was competing in a PPR format.

Much has been written about the Ascension Energies being directed at Earth during this year to further assist Humanity to triumph over their fall in consciousness and climb back into their saddle of Awareness. Each Easter, the power of the Resurrection Flame is doubled in intensity for forty days, and this year it will be offered at an unprecedented intensified level, as an extra boost for us if we choose to utilise it.
To resurrect means to restore to original condition. And that is the purpose of our journeys on Earth- to restore our state of perfected consciousness – to once again wear a mantle of Light as Christed Beings. The Seven Sacred Flames are a body of teachings and tools, and much more, for they hold consciousness of Divine Love, Divine Wisdom and Divine Power, that stirs our memories and ignites our dormant codes.
When we invoke the Flame of Resurrection we are calling out to millions of Beings of Light who serve on this Ray, including the Chohans/guardians Lord Sananda and Lady Nada. Who better to lead us in this than the Ascended Master who modeled the power of the resurrection energies to us over 2,000 years ago….to be put in to practice NOW! Lord Sananda says the resurrection energies are stronger than they ever were and smilingly invites us to release the old stories of sacrifice and replace them with thoughts of hope, healing and the living miracles that we are All capable of. He points out that when he said "I AM the Resurrection and the Life, he was teaching the divine law of the mighty "I AM" lives in your Sacred Heart. He was not claiming this for himself, as corrupted teachings would have us believe, he was coaching us to recall our own Divinity.
For many it can be difficult to accept that a mantra, decree, a belief and a prayer can hold the miracle that said to be possible. And there is truth in this for unless we have embodied the consciousness these Flames are aligned with, namely Divine, Love/Power/Wisdom, then we aren't going to fully utilise these gifts. However, there is a scientific principle behind these teachings and I share now information that is lifted from the discourse by Lord Sananda and Lady Nada in their chapter about The Resurrection Flame (they are guardians of this Flame) from "The Seven Sacred Flames" by Aurelia Louise Jones. It speaks of the electrons which are quickened by the action of the resurrection energies when we invoke it with our "I AM presence".
'The smallest manifestation of life is known to man as electrons. Electrons represent particles of energy from the body of Prime Creator, which is eternally self-sustained, indestructible, self-luminous and intelligent. Electrons are pure universal light substance which respond at lightning-speed to the creative powers of both God and men. Interstellar space is filled with this pure 'light-essence'. When we co-create something we desire, we are calling these pure Light substance electrons into Service.
The number of electrons, which combine with each other in a specific atom, is determined by conscious thought. And the rate at which the electrons swirl around the central core of the atom, is determined by feelings. (This intensity of the whirling motion within the central core is called "the breath of God").
Everything, absolutely everything is made of electrons. All electrons come from Prime Source energy as Love.
They take their shape and form when manifested according to how they are qualified.
Regrettably, most of humanity co-creates from lack, fear, doubt or even from greed and power. These frequencies cause mis-qualified creations and incur karma. Electrons, must respond to humanity's requests, and do not enjoy being called forth in frequencies less than Love.
A suggested mantra to infuse the resurrection frequencies throughout your being to help you uptake the maximum benefit form them over the next forty days.
A great way to bring the resurrection energies into our lives in a tangible way is to use it for manifestation. In my last post I mentioned the humble spring bulb which responds to the resurrection energies each year, along with all of nature. A lovely ceremony to hold for yourself or a group of friends, is to plant spring bulbs on Easter Sunday, with each bulb representing an aspect that you wish to restore to its fullness. Three is a good number to keep your focus strong, and a trinity is always powerful. Write an affirmation of your desire on a piece of paper and place this below each bulb before planting.
Affirmations which are expressed clearly and succinctly are very powerful. For example, I wished to manifest a new home and my affirmation was 'By the Power of God within me, and by the Power of God that I AM, I give thanks for my perfect new home'. There are three pointers to be mindful of; I aligned with the Universal Energies of Creation by calling in my I AM presence (my God Aspect), and I left it to my guides to find my perfect home as they see so much more than I do. I also gave thanks that this had already happened, because it had. Then, I left it to my angels and guides, and stayed alert for any messages they might have to cue me in to where my home might be, and when this might happen…but I didn't seek this out, I waited for it to come to me. And within 8 months I was in my beautiful home which was so much more than I could have imagined…which is why I simply asked for my perfect home. I knew from experience that if I made a 'bucket list', I would have limited my options. My guides know me so well and they have the overview of what I needed, what I love, and when the perfect timing would be. And as my bulbs steadily grew in their pots of TRUST, I watered them frequently with LOVE and GRATITUDE. I also made regular affirmations (aloud) such as 'I AM the Life and the Resurrection of my perfect new home'.
The Resurrection Flame has many attributes which can be used freely in unlimited ways. To resurrect something is to restore it to its original perfected state. For humanity we ultimately wish to return to our perfected consciousness, which is the Christ Consciousness, or our Divine State. Keeping in mind that the Christed Consciousness is the name given to our perfected, ascended state and is not in any way limited to the man we know of as 'Jeshua Ben Joseph'. Jeshua demonstrated our innate ability to resurrect our bodies and consciousness and stresses that this was not personal to him but is for All who wish to attain this. Nor was resurrection to be regarded as a miracle, even though of course it is; but to be seen in the context of what will be our new norm, when we embody our Christ Consciousness once more.
So, gather some friends or your family and have some fun and excitement manifesting with the Resurrection Energies this coming weekend. If you are unsure of how to word your affirmation, I can help you with this in the comments below. If you live in the northern hemisphere, you could plant summer bulbs such as Lilies, instead. Happy planting!
The 'Window of Ascension' does not stay open indefinitely. Like all things, the Ascension Energies also have a cycle and a season of when they are active and when they are dormant. Because the Ascension Energies are directly linked with the traverse of Earth through the Photon Belt, it is essential that humanity ride these energies while they are active, and they are super- active in 2018; the underpinning energy frequencies of this year are the Ascension Energies.
We can be assured we will always have the tools at hand exactly when they are needed. The first quarter of each year prepares us for the entire year and many of us have had painful plucking of old wounds that showed us where our splinters of old beliefs and emotions were lodged. For many this included the release of sacrifice within the many forms of relationships we have with All others.
This purging has been necessary to allow the maximum uptake of the next round of tools and gifts offered in March via the New Moon and Equinox energies. Not to be overlooked are the gifts of an incredible collective consciousness held by millions of Beings of Light under the steerage of Lord Sananda and Lady Nada (Jeshua and Mary Magdalene), along with Archangels Uriel and Aurora plus Elohim Peace and Aloha. These beautiful Beings of Light collectively fuel what we can imagine as a Flame of Resurrection energy, which we can ask to be blazed throughout our four lower bodies at any time. Resurrection is also being called regeneration, regenisis, renewal, rebirth, recreation and so forth; regardless of the words being used, they all describe the unprecedented opportunity that humanity currently has, to slough off their lower vibrations and ascend to the higher vibrations, that hold the keys for our return Home. Our return to a state of consciousness that embodies our innate Divinity…while remaining in our Earthly form as humans!
The Flame of Resurrection is a powerful way of returning to our former wholeness as Divine Beings of Light and offers much hope for humanity. It creates a quickening vibratory action of the Light within the cells of our body, to establish Inner Light, and throw off our illusionary limitations that has been the shadow within each cell.
Today is Thursday in the southern hemisphere, the day of the week when the Resurrection Flame holds the greatest focus out of all the Seven Sacred Flames. It is also World Water Day, so what better day to pull out some shadow from your personal waters held in your cells and fill them with Light!! When we remember we are Waitaha (the Water Carriers), then we can make the link to the significance of the condition of the water in each and every cell of our body. And when we also remember that each drop of water in each cell is connected to each drop of water in the ocean, then we can see that we all affect the ocean, when we carry Peace and Light in our own cells. In the Oneness, this is now being more understood that All Things are entwined with All Things! Eventually humanity will realise we also create our weather by the emotions held in the waters of our cells. Peace on Earth includes peaceful weather when Balance is restored or resurrected on Earth. It truly begins with us, and it begins with what we hold in a single cell. From the micro to the macro, as above, so below and so forth.
A forty-day amplification of the Resurrection Energies.
While we would be wise to evoke the Resurrection Flame with extra emphasis on a Thursday, we can also be aware of another annual cycle of this powerful body of consciousness. Each year around what we know to be Easter time, for forty days the Resurrection Flame is amplified in greater measure to create the miracles of nature, for humans and for all life on our planet. Just like a dormant daffodil bulb, humans are also blessed by the frequencies which will eventually restore their bloom into their own perfected form. The daffodil only sleeps for some months while humans may remain dormant their whole lifetime and never awaken.
Perhaps we can now begin to join the dots as to why Lord Sananda chose to model to us the power of this Flame by resurrecting his own body during the most potent time of the resurrection energies? It was not by chance!
Now join these dots…Earth has just been Blessed within a few days of each other by a New Moon carrying energetic gifts which released some of the most ancient ingrained patterns such as sacrifice and unworthiness specific to our relationships. This went hand in hand with extra-potent energies of new beginnings and was immediately followed by Equinox energies that hold frequencies of regeneration for our planet and all life streams on it. It also holds codes for Light and Water!
This year of 2018 is underpinned by the Ascension Energies and right now we are in the flow of extremely potent resurrection energies. If we begin evoking the Resurrection Flame, along with the other spiritual practice we already do, then we are preparing ourselves beautifully for our Return Home to our Ascended State of Consciousness and Being. To help you keep this in mind, amongst your busy life and everything that we humans do, I shall be making regular posts over the next forty days which takes us to April 30th. Perfectly timed to then revel in the Wesak Week energies during the first week of May when Buddha, along with the Ascended Masters, meet to feast and commune…and to flood humanity with many gifts as a part of their heavenly celebrations!
I AM the Resurrection and the Life of my Eternal Freedom in the Light.
I AM the Resurrection and the Life of my physical body's perfect blueprint.
I AM the Resurrection and the Life of my emotional body's perfect blueprint.
I AM the Resurrection and the Life of my mental body's perfect blueprint.
I AM the Resurrection and the Life of my etheric body's perfect blueprint.
I AM the Resurrection and the Life of my spiritual body's perfect blueprint.
I AM the Resurrection and the Life of the healing powers of The Sacred Flames.
I AM the Resurrection and the Life of my Immortal Perfection and Illumined Love of the Cosmic Christ.
You may be interested to learn that Lord Sananda, as Jeshua, invoked this Flame by repeating the mantra 'I AM the Resurrection and the Life' for three years before beginning his public teachings. This was how he built up his own reservoir of The Resurrection Energies that he used to resurrect his body.
Tonight, before sleep, ask to be taken in your Light Body to the Temple of Resurrection near Jerusalem.
Connect to your 'I AM Presence' as you take several deep breaths and ask your Light Body to descend over you and take you in consciousness to the Resurrection Temple…it knows the way.
For those of us who enjoy the super-big picture of the unfolding ascension events, the following article will join many dots. It speaks to the huge arcs of time, including equinoxal processions, the cycles and effects of Earth moving into and through the Photon Belt in the Pleiades Star System. It is this huge torroid or "belt" of inter-dimensional Light that passes through this part of our Milky Way galaxy in 26,000-year cycles that is flooding Earth with the frequencies that are making it possible for Mother Earth and all who dwell here to ascend.
I fully acknowledge the work of Aurelia Louise Jones who channelled our Telos Family and the teachings of the Ascended Masters in her book 'The Seven Sacred Flames' and have borrowed from this resource with gratitude. This book is highly recommended and although there are many more than Seven Sacred Flames, these need to be integrated and embodied first.

11 video games that have conquered us for their good use of lighting
With these techniques they have created unique atmospheres to enhance the narrative and also increase the level of realism.
The new generation inaugurated with PS5 and Xbox Series promises to bring us new experiences, even more realistic and immersive, a good proof of this was the presentation of Epic's reference engine, Unreal Engine 5, where lighting took center stage with the integrated dynamic light engine, Lumen.
Lighting plays a major role in video gamesSome examples already give us a glimpse into the future and we have reason to be excited. But we will not have to wait so long to talk about hyperrealism, currently we have had approaches to very high levels of realism in some of the games that are already on the market, and in less than a month, Forza Horizon 5 promises to continue raising the bar.
Both in video games and in film, photography or theater, lighting plays a key role, the proper use of it contributes to generating a good atmosphere, forming part of the narrative. It is also one of the elements that contributes the most to realism. When we think about the use of CGI characters or environments in the cinema, usually, the difference between going unnoticed or attracting our attention usually has to do with good light management.
We have been able to constantly appreciate the same in video games, every advance in lighting is a leap in all the visual section. That is why today, we wanted to make a small selection of some titles that, due to the good use they made of lighting to help create their setting, because of the role it had in the title's own narrative or because of the advances that they integrated to help realism, they have managed to conquer us.
Red Dead Redemption II Rockstar's western came to consoles in 2018 and a year later to PC, with one of the most realistic and vivid open worlds we've seen to date. Its lighting plays a capital role in his vision of the Old West, where cities especially stand out, walking around Saint Denis at night accompanied by the illumination of its dim lamps, transports you.
The Last of Us Part II The last Naughty Dog game featured a care for the details rarely seen, all the visual section of the game has a decisive weight in the immersion, realism and narrative. Throughout the development of the story, lighting serves to evoke very specific feelings, the warmth of the home, the cold loneliness, even anxiety in extreme situations.
Microsoft Flight Simulator Microsoft's flight simulator became a phenomenon thanks to its relaxed gameplay and amazing visuals. The realism of its skies is given by an impeccable management of the day and night cycle. The way in which the sunsets are lost in the clouds, the storms at night, or the lights of the night cities are a sight worth living.
Control – Ultimate Edition Control, the latest adventure from Remedy Entertainment, managed to win the praise of the public with a title that has enjoyed fantastic visuals. Lighting is again used as part of the narrative with very different scenarios in this regard. The game features ray tracing, which serves to top off the excellent lighting work done.
Watch Dogs Legion Ubisoft came to the next generation with a game that made very spectacular use of ray tracing. Although at times, the reflections on the road become even somewhat excessive, the lighting of the city at night is really well achieved, streets that feel full of life and that provide an incredible feeling of realism wherever we put the look.
Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition The Enhanced Edition of Metro Exodus arrived loaded with visual improvements and an intensive use of ray tracing, which added to a very well planned lighting in the original game, serves to take a visual section that was already impressive in 2019 to the highest level. Lighting, beyond the level of realism it reaches, serves to deepen the balance between nature and horror that the game presents.
Ratchet and Clank: A Dimension Apart The adventures of Insomniac Games are showing off excellent visuals and the latest installment of Ratchet and Clank, exclusive for a new generation, has surprised with exceptional visuals, making very clever use of ray tracing in some parts of the game. The lighting also serves to enhance the journey between worlds, the great novelty of this installment.
Doom Eternal Doom Eternal is one of those games that does everything right, with an id Software in a state of grace, the frenetic shooter moves at a pace that few can follow and without sacrificing superb visuals. The ray tracing is added to a very well chosen lighting for some scenes, full of metallic pieces, that manage to form that atmosphere of space terror that suits the game so well.
Cyberpunk 2077 (PC) Unfortunately, Cyberpunk 2077 was far from being what it promised, however, all the problems do not cloud a lighting and use of ray tracing, in its PC version, which manages to generate a unique atmosphere. A combination of lights, colors and reflections that give body to that atmosphere so characteristic of the genre and that, especially at night, becomes really well achieved.
Crysis 1 Remastered Crysis has been an example of a technical marvel since its arrival in 2007. Although initially, Crysis Remastered did not go as well as it should, it has SVOGI, a revolutionary technology for global lighting based on software, not hardware, and that It is used to transmit with great precision the color information and the behavior of the light when bouncing between different surfaces.
The Ascent We return to the cyberpunk setting in The Ascent, the exploration and looting RPG achieves a very powerful setting thanks to all the play of light and shadow that it develops in addition to the use of ray tracing. As a result, we have very careful environments where a soft darkness surrounds us, dressed in different colored lights, brilliance, effects and well-drawn shadows.

Q: Where to put my file of personal macros (TeXShop) I just got a new MacBook and downloaded TeXShop, and I have a file full of macros and stuff I want to put in the place where TeXShop looks for it so I can input it into every document without having a massive preamble. I successfully did this on my previous computer!
But now I can't figure it out again, and my googling is not giving useful results.
Specifically, I read that I need a folder in my Library called texmf/tex/latex and I should put my stuff in there.  When I do that, TeXShop tells me it can't find the file.
All advice appreciated!

Halloween was not so much. Poor Lisas.
Kuma Bear decided on the Samurai Pirate costume.
Lisa was going to dress up in her school girl outfit.
maybe go waking in a mall so all could see and admired me.
Everyone was busy and Lisas were getting tired.
But still she knew I wanted to be seen.
First we walked -- I rode in the pack as I have such short legs -- to the local Hardware Store & Post Office.
Later we went to the near by Roth's Grocery Store.
Many people at the store were in costume.
Often I was told how cute I was and how good my eye patch looked, Arrrr.
Lisas bought her ice cream, but she did not buy me any fish, Arrrrrr.
I'll not have her walk the plank as she looked so sad. Shiver me timber.


Government should reject calls for a more punitive approach to child prisoners, and should focus on the promotion of the rehabilitation of children and the removal of children from detention. In its submission to the Inquiry into Yourth Justice Centres in Victoria, Liberty noted that both major political parties failed to heed the clear warnings of the Victorian Ombudsman in 2010 that Youth Justice Centres were unfit for purpose. Further, Liberty noted that recently children have been detained in an adult prison in conditions that were found by the Supreme Court of Victoria to breach their human rights.

Zambia faces risks to 4% economic growth, cautions Mwanakatwe – Zambia: News Diggers!
Zambia faces downside risks to the four per cent economic growth prospects projected for this year, says Finance Minister Margaret Mwanakatwe.
In a statement outlining the 2019 economic outlook, Mwanakatwe observed that the country faced downside risks to the projected economic growth, which included maintaining the fiscal deficit, weak credit growth and failure to address domestic arrears that may constrain growth, among others.
She explained that domestic arrears owed to contractors and suppliers still stood at over K14 billion by the end of the second quarter of last year.
"Downside risks to growth prospects include continued global trade tension, projected rise in crude oil prices due to continue geopolitical tensions, climate change related effects, and maintaining the fiscal deficit, weak credit growth and any failure to address domestic arrears may constrain growth and delayed implementation of reforms that will support growth," Mwanakatwe said.
Mwanakatwe added that the domestic arrears had continued to trend upwards last year mainly owing to escalating VAT refunds and heavy capital spending in the road sector.
"Despite sustained efforts to dismantle domestic arrears, the figures trended upwards in 2018 mainly due to VAT refunds; and, capital spending – particularly in the road sector. As a result, domestic arrears were K14.7 billion at end of June from K12.7 billion as at close of 2017," she explained.
On the 2018 budget performance, Mwanakatwe revealed that government expenditure was two per cent above their own target.
"Budget execution in 2018 was broadly in line with annual target despite some fiscal challenges. Expenditure was also above target by 2 per cent, mainly due increase in interest payments on debt and spending on assets. Consequently, fiscal deficit outturn for the year is expected to be around 7 per cent," stated Mwanakatwe.

Židovi su nekadašnja etnička i vjerska skupina koja je djelovala u Derventi, u Bosni i Hercegovini. Sjedište Židovske općine se nalazilo u Derventi.

Povijest

U Derventu su Židovi, uglavnom, stigli iz Sarajeva i Travnika ali su tu zatekli svoje sunarodnike koji su se doselili iz Austrije i Poljske. U Derventu su dolazili pretežno poslovni ljudi (trgovci, zanatlije) ali su dolazili i liječnici sa svojim obiteljima. Odnosi derventskih vlasti prema njima nisu se razlikovali od odnosa prema drugim stanovnicima grada. Židovi su se brzo uključili u mnoge životne tokove djelujući kao marljivi i štedljivi trgovci, dobre zanatlije, priznati ljekari i apotekari. Uskoro poprimaju običaje i jezik domaćeg stanovništva, te postepeno napuštaju svoju nošnju i zamjenjuju je uobičajenim načinom odijevanja stanovnika Dervente. Bilo je starijih osoba koje su nosile bosanska odijela, dok je većina nosila moderna odijela s običnim ili žirado šeširima. Samo su starije žene, u izuzetnim prilikama i svečanostima, nosile tradicionalnu "tukado" kapicu.

Doseljavanjem iz drugih dijelova Bosne i Hercegovine, broj Židova se u Derventi stalno povećavao. Godine 1879. godine u ovom gradu je živjelo je 30 Židova, a 1910. godine 136, od toga 76 sefardskog i 60 aškenaskog obreda. Ovaj proces tekao je kontinuirano i dalje, pa tako nakon Prvog svjetskog rata u Derventi živi više od 300 Židova.  Godine 1936. nakon prisajedinjenja Austrije Njemačkoj, više židovskih obitelji iz Beča i Graza doselile su se, bježeći pred nacističkim terorom, u Derventu. To su bile obitelji poznatih stručnjaka - ljekara. S ovom grupom doseljenika stigli su i akademski slikari Margo i Riketi. Oni su se brzo uklopili u gradsku sredinu, a svojim stručnim znanjima i vještinama mnogo su doprinijeli kvalitetu življenja građana Dervente.

Holokaust

Godine 1941. s propasti Jugoslavije i uspostavljenjem Nezavisne Države Hrvatske, život Židova Dervente postaje nesnošljiv. Kotarska oblast i Gradsko poglavarstvo u Derventi izdali su naredbu da svi Židovi stariji od 14. godina, moraju nositi žutu traku izvan svoje kuće. Prekršitelji ove naredbe biće pritvoreni i kažnjeni novčanom kaznom. Istovremeno i njemačka Komanda mjesta u Derventi, izdaje sljedeću naredbu na njemačkom i hrvatskom jeziku: Židovi Svi Židovi moraju da nose žute trake oko ruke, Ko se nađe na ulici ili javnom mjestu bez trake oko ruke biće kažnjen po ratnim zakonima.

Pored ove mjere, navedeni organi su izdali nalog o popisu židovske imovine, a u svaku židovsku radnju postavljeni su komesari, koji su vodili radnju i odgovarali za imovinu u njoj. Židovima je bilo zabranjeno posjećivanje javnih lokala i kavana, kao što im je zabranjeno i kretanje gradom u vremenu od 20 do 07 sati. Ravnateljstvo ustaškog redarstva Nezavisne Države Hrvatske, svojim raspisom broj 19/41, uputilo je okružnicu svim velikim župama i Ustaškom povjereništvu za Bosnu i Hercegovinu a na ruke Jure Francetića. Okružnicom se pritvaraju svi Židovi i Srbi i deportuju u zbiralište - logor Gospić. Prema izvješću Kotarske oblasti u Derventi od 7. kolovoza 1941. godine, dana 1. kolovoza otpremljeno je u Gospić 25 Srba i Židova-komunista, kao i da će se opet izvjestan broj otpremiti u logor.

Ustaška propaganda i teror uvjerili su mnoge Židove da je njihov opstanak u gradu nemoguć. Neki od njih potražili su spas u bjegstvu iz Dervente. Jedan broj Židova dobio je propusnice od Kotarske oblasti za izlazak iz grada. Ivan Čović funkcioner Hrvatske seljačke stranke, ih je besplatno prevozio u Mostar, a oni bi se dalje prebacivali u Dalmaciju i Italiju, te se tako spašavali od terora i smrti. Ne postoje pouzdani podaci o tome koliko je Židova spašeno na ovaj način.

Posljednja grupa Židova deportovana je u logore kolovoza 1942. godine. Tada je u Derventu došao zloglasni šef Ustaškog redarstva iz Sarajeva Ivan Tolj i naredio da se svi preostali Židovi uhite i otpreme. Jedne noći policija je izvršila raciju i sve uhićene Židove odvela u "Štaparu" tranzitni ustaški logor preko puta željezničke stanice. Tu su potrpani u zatvorene, teretne vagone i u pratnji ustaša deportovani u logore Jasenovac i Đakovo gdje su svi ubijeni.

Sinagoga

Od dolaska Židova i stvaranja njihove vjerske općine, pa sve do 1911. godine u Derventi nije postojala sinagoga, odnosno templ kako se taj hram nazivao, u narodu. Naime, Židovska zajednica je svoje vjerske obrede obavljala u posebnoj zgradi koju je Židovska općina kupila, u kojoj se nalazio i stan za rabina.

Stalnim porastom broja članova Židova u Derventi, ukazala se potreba za izgradnjom sinagoge. U tu svrhu osnovan je Odbor za izgradnju a od gradskih vlasti je dobiveno pogodno zemljište, kako bi gradnja što prije počela. Prostor na kojem se gradila sinagoga nalazio se između Srpske varoši i Harmana, a iza njega je prolazila željeznička pruga Derventa - Sarajevo i rijeka Ukrina.

Izgradnja sinagoge završena je 1911. godine, a njeno zdanje je podignuto u pseudomaurskpm stilu s arhitektonskim elementima korištenim kod španjolskih hramova. Unutrašnjost objekta bila je dekorirana drvenom ornamentikom sa svim nužnim vjerskim predmetima potrebnim za obavljanje obreda. Neposredno uz sinagogu nalazio se izvor kiselkaste vode. Uređeno je ovo izvorište koje je bilo ozidano kamenim blokovima, a i okolna domaćinstva su ga koristila za svoje potrebe. Narod ga je zvao "Česma kod Templa".

U Derventi je bilo smješteno i Židovsko groblje, koje se nalazilo na mjestu Rabić pored izlaza iz grada u smjeru Doboja. Na istoj lokaciji postoji i katoličko groblje koje je od židovskog bilo odvojeno putem za selo Tetim. Ovo je groblje izgrađeno 1884. godine. Poznato je da je posljednji član zajednice koji je sahranjen 1941. godine na ovom groblju bila majka dr Jozefa Grünberga. Brigu oko sahrane ove starice i majke najpopularnijeg liječnika u Derventi, preuzeli su dr Hercogi njen prvi komšija Osman-beg Osmanbegović. Ovo se desilo kolovoza 1941. godine, kada je njezin sin dr Grünberg već bio deportovan u Jasenovac.

Poslije dolaska Nijemaca i ustaša, na tom mjestu su neki građani dobili dozvolu za gradnju privatnih kuća. Židovsko groblje je uništeno i potpuno zapušteno. Ostao je tek poneki nadgrobni spomenik zarastao u travu i korov. Posljednji rabin u Derventi bio je Jakob Papo a posljednji predsjednik Židovske općine Levi Pesah.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says More than Half of People who Misuse Prescription Opioids also Binge Drink | site |
Millions of Americans at increased risk of overdose and death
(June 11, 2019) - - Today, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention published the following information:
More than half of the 4.2 million Americans who misused prescription opioids between 2012 and 2014 also engaged in binge drinking, according to a new study released today by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
Binge drinking is the consumption of four or more drinks for women, or five or more drinks for men, on an occasion. Prescription opioid misuse is the use of these drugs without a prescription, or use only for the feeling the drug causes.
CDC's analysis shows that people who binge drank were nearly twice as likely to misuse prescription opioids as non-drinkers, even after taking into account other factors that could affect the relationship between prescription opioid misuse and binge drinking, like age and sex.
"We are losing far too many Americans each day from overdoses," said CDC Director Robert R. Redfield, M.D. "Combining alcohol and opioids can significantly increase the risk of overdoses and deaths."
For this report, CDC scientists analyzed data for 2012, 2013, and 2014 on self-reported binge drinking and prescription opioid misuse during the past 30 days from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health.
Prescription opioid misuse among people who binge drank varied by age and social factors
While young people who binge drank had higher rates of prescription opioid misuse, 2 in 3 people who binge drank and misused prescription opioids were age 26 years and older.
Prescription opioid misuse was more common among people who binge drank with lower education and income levels.
Prescription opioid misuse increased with the frequency of binge drinking.
What can be done to reduce binge drinking and prescription opioid misuse?
A comprehensive and coordinated approach to preventing binge drinking and prescription opioid misuse could help to reduce the risk of drug overdoses.
Effective community prevention strategies for reducing binge drinking include limiting the number of places that sell alcohol in neighborhoods, legal liability for places that illegally serve underage or intoxicated patrons, and maintaining limits on the days and hours when alcohol can be sold. Effective strategies for reducing overdoses involving prescription opioids include following opioid prescribing guidelines, such as the CDC Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain, as well as strategies to prevent and treat opioid use disorders.
The 2015-2020 U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends that adults who drink consume alcohol in moderation — up to one drink per day for women and up to two drinks per day for men. In addition, the Guidelines indicate some people should not drink at all, including women who are pregnant or might be pregnant, people who are under age 21, and people who are using certain medications that can interact with alcohol, like prescription opioids.

When biographer Polly Longsworth moved to Amherst in the 1960s, she was astonished to discover that town residents still debated—even over the vegetable bins in the supermarket—the rights and wrongs of a passionate affair that Emily Dickinson's brother sustained with the young wife of an Amherst College faculty member. Her research led to the publication, in 1984, of Austin and Mabel: The Amherst Affair and Love Letters of Austin Dickinson and Mabel Loomis Todd, named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year.
In subsequent years, Longsworth continued to write about the Dickinson family, expertly weaving together the threads of community and individual history in The World of Emily Dickinson and The Dickinsons of Amherst (with Jerome Liebling, Christopher Benfey and Barton Levi St. Armand). Ultimately, she was asked to chair the Martha Dickinson Bianchi Trust, owner of Austin's former home, The Evergreens.
Longsworth was instrumental in the creation, in 2003, of the Emily Dickinson Museum, which encompasses both The Evergreens and the adjacent Dickinson Homestead—long held as separate trusts—and was elected the founding chair of the new institution's board of governors. "She instinctively understood that combining the two historic sites would strengthen them both and better serve the public," says museum director Jane Wald. Under Longsworth's leadership, the museum developed a master plan for preservation and restoration, successfully completed its first capital campaign, expanded its hours and created a unified visitor experience, significantly enhancing its educational mission and widening its circle of supporters in the process.
A 1955 graduate of Smith College, where she edited the campus newspaper, Longsworth later worked in publishing and began writing her first of several books for adolescents in 1958. Her biographical research and writing continued amid raising four children and assisting in the demanding public life of her husband, Charles Longsworth '51, who served as president of Hampshire College and subsequently of the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.

Although these licks are modal, there's no need to fret – each of the licks presented here are versatile, usable rock licks that lend themselves to several playing situations. And, while you're learning them, you'll gain an understanding of what notes to target when playing in modal situations – and how each modes gets its signature sound.
These free guitar lessons, taken from Jon Finn's 30 Melodic Modal Rock Licks You MUST Know, will take you through six different licks that lend themselves each to a different mode. Check them out below, and if they're just your speed, check out the rest of the course on TrueFire.
Download the tab, notation, and jam track for this modal rock lick lesson on TrueFire.
This lick features a small A major chord arpeggio along with the #4th degree of the scale (D#). Since the characteristic note of A Lydian is D# (#4th degree), this note is strongly featured in the first half of the lick.
The second half of the lick gives a musical "answer" to the first half over the B/A chord (B chord with A bass note). Even though the lick is based on a chord shape, it's important to play each note, one at a time, to be sure that the notes don't run into each other; especially when using an overdrive tone.
There's that "D-shaped triangle" again! Y'know, once you realize you've hit on something you like, you end up using it a lot! Here, the "triangle" shape outlines a B chord, played against the E chord. Doing this creates a major 7th sound against the E chord. Almost like jazz, but not really. To wrap up, it goes back to some phrases that use more bends. Check the video and the notation for more detail.
When I first came up with this lick, I based it on a "free association" thing I do sometimes. Sometimes when improvising, I like to slide around the neck to find cool notes, but also skip to non-adjacent strings to play a few notes, simply to make things a little less predictable.
For this lick, I played the idea over and over until finally I was able to repeat it several times playing it exactly the same way (typically, I would explore the idea when improvising and let it be different every time). Finally, I wrote it down on paper. There are several places where you skip strings to get cool, but unexpected notes. Check the notation and tablature to get the finer details. Practice with the backing track or metronome, then invent your own version of this lick!
Note that this lick uses a "swing 16ths" feel, creating a funkier, nastier feel.
Throughout the lick, you mostly play a C minor pentatonic scale while adding the characteristic note of C Dorian (which is the note A, the natural 6th degree) when appropriate. It ends with an arpeggio on the F9 chord. Check the notation and tablature to get the finer details. Practice with the backing track, then invent your own version of this lick!
As you watch the video, you'll realize that most of this lick is based on arpeggios and chord tones. Things like this make a good case for learning scales, chords, and arpeggios all over the fretboard. It gives you tons of choices. Check the notation and tablature to get the finer details. Practice with the backing track, then invent your own version of this lick!
"Matador" is in F# Phrygian. It starts with a typical Spanish type theme incorporating 1/2 steps. The second one starts on F# to the b2. Next, it bends from C# to D back to C# 14th fret then a 16th note run. The next measure, you play an F# against a G chord which changes the sound. To finish the phrase, there are a series of notes played off the beat going downwards on the F# Phrygian scale.
There's many more modal licks to try out in the full version of the course on TrueFire. Check it out, as well as the tab, notation, and jam tracks that come with each lick.

"...[T]here is a growing body of evidence that a decline in world [oil] production is likely to occur in less than 20 years. As the peak in production approaches, prices will begin to rise and the United States - consumer of 25 percent of world output - will have to quickly shift to new energy sources to mitigate the impacts on its heavily oil-dependent economy.
Two decades is precious little time for such a sweeping transformation, a point few decisionmakers appreciate. The time to formulate policies that encourage more efficient oil use and a switch to alternative energy sources is now. The transportation sector, almost totally dependent on oil, will be especially hard hit. The good news is that only a few simple, though bold, policy changes are needed to ensure a smoother transition."

Here's Why You Shouldn't Expect Much To Change In US–Saudi Relations After Khashoggi's Murder
Delcan and Company for BuzzFeed News
The long history of US–Saudi relations has had many moments when the US might have struck back at the kingdom. A web of common interests has kept that from happening.
By Emily Tamkin
Emily Tamkin BuzzFeed News Reporter
Posted on October 26, 2018, at 2:30 p.m. ET
Now that Saudi Arabia has conceded that Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi's murder was a premeditated plot carried out inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul, the question becomes how the killing of a permanent US resident by representatives of an allied nation might affect the long-term relationship between Saudi Arabia and the United States.
If past is prologue, the answer to that question is: not much. The US–Saudi relationship has faced major crises before, and survived, largely because of a tightly spun web of financial connections and overlapping interests that leave the United States with little incentive to punish the Saudis.
That relationship is on daily display. President Donald Trump has spoken openly of his appreciation for Saudi cash. "They've been a great ally to me," he said just two weeks after Khashoggi disappeared inside the Saudi consulate, adding, "They're investing tremendous amounts of money." Eleven US senators have demanded in a letter to Trump and the Trump Organization a "full accounting" of financial ties between the president and the kingdom, which date back to at least 1991, when Trump sold a yacht to a Saudi prince.

Saudi money can be found throughout Washington. Congressional members and staffers have expressed dismay over the case, but have long participated in the revolving door from the legislature to firms that work on behalf of Saudi Arabia, which pays millions to lobbyists and lawyers to represent the kingdom in the US capital. The sums it's spent are recorded in Justice Department filings required under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
Saudi Arabia also contributes millions more to influential think tanks whose researchers provide position papers to journalists and lawmakers alike.
Former government workers and onetime members of Congress are often on the Saudi payroll: Law firm Hogan Lovells registered its work on behalf of the Saudi embassy this past summer for a monthly retainer of $125,000 (the firm had also worked with the embassy in 2016 and 2017). A spokesperson for the firm acknowledged but did not immediately respond to BuzzFeed News' request for comment.
King & Spalding, another law firm, this past summer also registered its work with the Saudi Ministry of Energy, "with fees capped at $450,000 per 30-day period" according to an email included in the FARA filing. A spokesperson for the firm declined to comment.
BGR Group, a lobbying and public relations firm, dropped the Saudis after Khashoggi's disappearance, but had a contract worth $80,000 a month. BGR did not respond to a request for comment about how Saudi Arabia became a client.
But formally registered foreign agents in the nation's capital are not the only recipients of Saudi money. Last year, Citigroup opened an office in the Saudi capital, Riyadh. Consulting firm McKinsey, with an office in Riyadh, was recently criticized for writing a report for the Saudi government that identified prominent online critics of the Saudi government. McKinsey did not reply to multiple requests for comment.
Since the Khashoggi case became public, several think tanks in Washington have said they had reassessed their relationship with Saudi Arabia. The Middle East Institute and the Brookings Institution, both influential arbiters of Middle East developments, announced that they would press pause on accepting more Saudi money; they acknowledged accepting Saudi money in the past, though they did not disclose the amounts.
Another influential research organization, the Center for Strategic and International Studies, confirmed Friday that it would forgo $900,000 it was to have received "to work with Saudi embassy staff in Washington on professional skills development" beginning in December. "In light of the killing of Jamal Khashoggi, we will not proceed with this as planned," CSIS spokesperson Andrew Schwartz said in an email.

Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was welcomed by Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis on March 21.
Other foundations have suggested there will be no change in their policies. The Arabia Foundation, which is led by Saudi national Ali Shihabi, said it has accepted money from Saudi nationals in the past and would not make changes to how it screens and accepts funding; after the Saudi government finally admitted that Khashoggi was dead, Shihabi took to Twitter to defend Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

The cover-up was ill-advised and incompetent, but more-sophisticated leaders in the West have also made such mistakes.
It isn't only offices based on the East Coast that are flush with Saudi cash. Silicon Valley companies have been recipients of Saudi largesse as well.
Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed bin Talal has been investing in Twitter since 2011. Uber and Lyft have both made deals with Saudi investors. The kingdom invested $1 billion in Lucid, a Tesla competitor. The kingdom has, through its public investment fund, put its money in DoorDash, a delivery service, and Slack, a messaging system.
Even when Saudi Arabia in 1973 led a boycott of the United States by Arab oil producers, setting off a major US economic downturn, the relationship survived.
The tight US–Saudi connections have frustrated many — especially because the strategic reasons that originally drove the relationship, ensuring an unbroken supply of crude oil, are less relevant now than they were when the US and Saudi Arabia first became fast friends more than 70 years ago.
Even when Saudi Arabia in 1973 led a boycott of the United States by Arab oil producers to protest American support for Israel against Egypt and Syria, setting off a major US economic downturn, the relationship survived. In 1975, the United States and Saudi Arabia signed $2 billion worth of military contracts. Saudi Arabia sided with the United States and against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in 1979 and 1980.
One Saudi national in particular who went to join the Afghan fighters would become known to Americans — Osama bin Laden, who founded al-Qaeda in 1988 and was stripped of his Saudi citizenship six years later.
The United States deployed troops in 1990 in Operation Desert Shield, ostensibly to protect Saudi Arabia from the potential of Iraqi invasion after Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein seized Kuwait.
"That relationship has sort of lumbered on without much examination of whether it's still serving the interest of the United States until today," said Bob Graham, a former senator from Florida who chaired the Senate Intelligence Committee probe into the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. Graham is a harsh Saudi critic and author of Intelligence Matters: The CIA, the FBI, Saudi Arabia, and the Failure of America's War on Terror, which looks at congressional efforts to find out how intelligence failed the United States leading up to and on the day of the attacks.
"Thirty years ago, there were really good reasons for the very tight US–Saudi relationship," said Sen. Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut and member of the Foreign Relations Committee who is also a critic of Saudi Arabia. "Primarily, our relationship was about oil."
Today, the United States does not have the same oil concerns. After decades of relying on the Middle East for oil, the United States now is the world's largest producer. In 2017, the United States produced 14.46 million barrels of oil a day, exceeding Saudi Arabia's 12.08 million barrels a day. US imports of Saudi oil have dropped to 943,000 barrels a day, the lowest level since 1988.
But the relationship remains largely unchanged, Murphy says, despite evidence as well that Saudi Arabia has aggressively exported Sunni extremism. "The primary reason for our alliance has been weakened, and the threat that Saudi Arabia presents to the United States has increased," Murphy said. But the change has gone largely unremarked in Washington, largely because of the millions of dollars Saudi Arabia spends annually — enough to pretend the change wasn't happening at all.
Anand Giridharadas, a former McKinsey consultant and journalist who wrote a book about the way elites function throughout the world, Winners Take All: The Elite Charade of Changing the World, said Saudi Arabia has little choice but to spend big on Washington lobbyists.
"Let's imagine that you're in the predicament of managing Saudi Arabia's reputation in the world. Imagine what your day would be like," he said. "You need to essentially every day, every hour, every second defend the indefensible … [you need to] explain away beheading by sword and perhaps fool enough people or bribe enough people into being quiet about what is obvious."
There is Saudi money everywhere, he said, because "the Saudis have to co-opt that many Americans to have a mere chance to be seen as the opposite of what they are." They have, he said, co-opted lobbying groups, packed with former Hill staffers and government officials.

The point at which Americans — wealthy Americans, connected Americans, Americans who shape foreign policy — began actively overlooking Saudi misdeeds, as opposed to simply going along with a long-lasting strategic partnership — depends on whom one asks.
"I think it went back before 9/11," said Graham, who believes that the 9/11 hijackers, 15 of whom were Saudis, received support from the Saudi government while in the United States. "But I think 9/11 is such a screaming instance of the Saudis' perfidy that it is the incident that raises the recurring question of why did we not act on the facts that we knew and communicate to the leadership of Saudi Arabia that their actions are intolerable and we will take strong steps to indicate that and those steps might include things like the termination of US sales of military equipment to Saudi Arabia," he said.
Graham's belief in Saudi responsibility is part fact, part theory. He fought to get a 28-page congressional report on the 9/11 attacks declassified. When it was, in 2016, the Saudi government said it showed no connection to the terrorists. Graham said more information would prove Saudi involvement.
"I believe what has happened with the journalist is just the latest chapter in a book of multiple chapters, because we have not stated honestly what we know about Saudi Arabia's involvement and have not taken action to shut it off," he told BuzzFeed News. He pointed to a lawsuit that some of the families of victims of 9/11 have filed against Saudi Arabia. "The United States has done everything in its power to keep that litigation at arm's length," he said, and stresses that he is implicating both political parties (Barack Obama vetoed the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act, under which the plaintiffs are suing; Congress overrode the veto).
Trump's ascendance to the presidency coincided with a Saudi public relations campaign.
But for others, the turning point came with Trump. Not because he was unique in going along with the Saudi partnership — George W. Bush and Barack Obama did, too. In 2005, with America in a war in Iraq after 9/11, Bush hosted Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah for hours at his ranch to talk about oil prices and Saudi oil-pumping capacity; he was photographed famously holding hands with the royal. Obama pushed back against Riyadh with the Iran nuclear deal, but also signed off on tens of billions in arms sales. And Trump's vision of an anti-Iran partnership with Saudi Arabia and Israel is the view taken by many in conservative circles in Washington, which likely motivated a tweet by Marco Rubio, the Republican senator from Florida, in which he called the Khashoggi murder "disrespectful" of Trump and conservatives such as himself.
Marco Rubio @marcorubio
The #KhashoggiMurder was immoral. But it was also disrepectful to Trump & those of us who have supported the strategic alliance with the Saudi's. Not only did they kill this man,they have left @potus & their congressional allies a terrible predicament & given Iran a free gift.

But the way in which Trump has embraced Saudi Arabia, according to the president's critics, is different.

President Donald Trump and Mohammed bin Salman taking their seats for lunch in March 2017 before Mohammed was officially named crown prince.
"To the foreign policy establishment's shock, Donald Trump made the first foreign visit of his presidency to Saudi Arabia," Murphy said. "I know Saudi Arabia's important, but they do not deserve to be the first visit that you make."
"He has gone whole hog on the unconditional, unchecked, unquestioning alliance," Murphy said, adding that Trump has "taken this relationship to a puzzling new level."
Trump's ascendance to the presidency also coincided with a Saudi public relations campaign. In part, that was because US domestic oil capacity and the legislation allowing families to sue Saudi Arabia made the kingdom nervous. So, too, did Trump's own pre-election harsh rhetoric toward the Saudis — espousing the theory that the wives and girlfriends of the 9/11 hijackers were moved back to the country before the attack — and the Muslim world in general scared the Saudis. And so they decided to get more serious about public relations, according to one human rights expert who wished to remain anonymous.
In 2015 alone, the kingdom hired five lobbying and public relations firms. The Center for Studies and Media Affairs at the Saudi Royal Court renewed its contract with the Podesta Group, a prominent lobbying firm that had worked for a sanctioned Russian bank and with Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign chairman who was convicted earlier this year of fraud, tax evasion, and other charges.
The public relations push continued as King Salman named his son, Mohammed bin Salman, his successor.
The US–Saudi relationship has survived major crises before, largely because of a tightly spun web of financial connections and overlapping interests.
In his November 2017 column hailing the crown prince's arrival, New York Times writer Tom Friedman made just one reference to Yemen, where Saudi fighting has killed thousands of civilians (that sentence is: "He insisted that the Saudi-backed war in Yemen, which has been a humanitarian nightmare, was tilting in the direction of the pro-Saudi legitimate government there, which, he said is now in control of 85 percent of the country, but given the fact that pro-Iranian Houthi rebels, who hold the rest, launched a missile at Riyadh airport, anything less than 100 percent is still problematic.")
Ahead of the crown prince's visit to Washington in the spring of 2018, CBS aired an interview of the prince working late into the night. Once in America, he sat down for an interview with the Atlantic. He went to Starbucks with former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg. He strolled through Facebook headquarters with Mark Zuckerberg.
Less reported were troubling incidents that were unfolding in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere. In 2017, Mohammed locked Saudi royals and dignitaries up in a hotel for months. In November 2017, he summoned Lebanon's prime minister, Saad Hariri, to Saudi Arabia and allegedly forced him to resign. In June of that same year, Saudi Arabia and its ally, the United Arab Emirates, began a blockade of Qatar that has still not been resolved (former secretary of state Rex Tillerson reportedly stopped Saudi Arabia from invading Qatar the following summer). The United Nations estimates that 4,000 civilians have been killed by a Saudi-led military coalition, backed by the United States, in Yemen.
Yet the US–Saudi relationship remains intact. The United States still provides fueling and targeting support for Saudi Arabia's war in Yemen, with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo certifying to Congress just last month that Saudi Arabia and the UAE were taking steps to decrease the risk of harm to civilians. When Saudi Arabia expelled the Canadian ambassador over a critical tweet in August, the State Department stressed that both countries were partners and should resolve the situation diplomatically.

In Congress, there's debate over how to proceed in the wake of Jamal Khashoggi's disappearance and death. Some have advocated for sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Act, which allows the US government to sanction individuals and entities involved in human rights abuses around the world. Secretary of State Pompeo said on Tuesday that the State and Treasury departments would look into whether such sanctions were appropriate. Pompeo also announced that 21 Saudis would either have their visas revoked or be ineligible to apply for a US visa.
But many view those steps as next to nothing. "I think sanctions is a way of pretending to do something," Republican Sen. Rand Paul told reporters earlier this week. "I'm not really advocating that we cut off Saudi Arabia from the world … I favor just not aiding and abetting the Saudis." That means expressing outrage over Saudi support for extremism, pulling support for the war in Yemen, and stopping providing arms.
Murphy, in a case of politics making strange bedfellows, seemed to agree. "The Saudis are willing to lie to our face. They did for two weeks. They told us Khashoggi left … it took them two weeks to fess up. It stands to reason they have also lied to us about what they are doing inside Yemen," he told BuzzFeed News.
Still, he conceded that the United States was unlikely to make a significant change in its policy toward Saudi Arabia, in part because isolating Iran, Saudi Arabia's arch foe, is so key to Trump's foreign policy.
"Much of American foreign policy, especially within the Republican party, is against Iran," said Murphy. "I think that's bad policy. But that worldview will not change, and it means many people will continue to rationalize a very tight relationship." ●

Baby Lena made her way in at 2:25 pm on January 7, 2019. I was there as MotherDoula.
Everyone gushed about how excited I must be to become a grandmother. I was really excited that I finally was going to have a "take my daughter to work day"! But I couldn't really know what it would feel like to become a grandmother. I'd never been one. What I did know was that in my lifetime I deeply hoped for the opportunity to usher my three daughters into motherhood.
Right from the beginning of Indy's pregnancy, I realized that there was an inherent conflict in our circumstances. Indy wanted my support, guidance and expertise as a doula and as her mother. Yet I know both professionally and personally that daughters need to separate from their mothers in order to become mothers themselves.
As a birth worker, these roles are inextricably intertwined. Doula IS mother. I am, essentially, a professional mother; mothering mothers. How would I gracefully navigate this very tricky space; a nuanced combination of input and no-put and know when to do which.
I started to learn that when there was pushback, I needed to let it go; sometimes with palpable frustration and sometimes with grace. And as a professional, responsibly follow up with articles and research, signing off with "let me know your thoughts".
Both Dave and I were in the room to help Indy get her epidural.
After Indy gave birth and was resting, she asked me if I wanted to know the baby's name. She and Dave had kept it secret. I get this because I did the same thing with Indy and her sisters. I wasn't interested in hearing people's opinions about their names for nine months. In fact, the girls were given the honor of being the first to hear each sister's name whispered into their ear just after birth and then announce it to all those gathered. Only this time, twenty-five years since the last sister was born, the name Indy was sharing was her daughter's.
I wept. After keeping it all together to navigate Indy's glitchy birth, the baby having to go to the NICU and Indy requiring medication that would keep her bedridden for twenty-four hours, I lost it.
Lena is amazing 💓! And, she is a joyous reminder of the extraordinary gift that Indy, Lena and I have been given; that we are all here, together. We get to experience and hand down motherlove, learning how to balance loving and letting go, a life-long process that begins at birth, from mother to daughter, new mother to new daughter and grandmother to granddaughter.


In light of Environment Secretary Michael Gove's recent comments about farm subsidies post-Brexit, what can agroecology offer in the way of support for farmers?
I am the next generation of a family farm facing an uncertain future.
The recent announcement farm support will continue in some guise offers some hope, especially as it will likely be linked to practices which bring environmental benefits.
It provides us with an opportunity to enhance the farm system by supporting practices which capitalise on natural processes to support more cost effective, lower input, sustainable farming.
Agroecology can offer far more than environmental benefits in the less productive parts of your farm, it can inform your overall farm strategy and rotations, and boost your business.
As with many farms around us, black-grass has been a harsh wake-up call on our family farm in the Cambridgeshire Fens, one which we need to tackle by working with the ecology in our system.
The short rotations, dependency on herbicides and focus on winter crops has ultimately created this problem. And this has caused us to rethink the whole system.
We now work in collaboration with a local dairy farmer to reintroduce grass clover leys and widen the rotation with other silage crops, such as maize and, perhaps next year, lucerne.
We are mixing spring and winter crops. It is by no means perfect but we are making steps towards a more sustainable future-proofed farming system.
Dad keeps saying we should go back to what Grandad was doing, but we are moving forward armed with new scientific knowledge of agroecological farming systems.
Engaging with www.agricology.co.uk has helped us. It hosts research on agroecological farming practices from a range of UK organisations and provides opportunities to learn from other farmers who are implementing these practices.
I often post questions which arise in the field on social media using the @agricology handle and get quick responses.
I was amazed to discover some farmers happily leave a field after drilling.
Creating weed suppressive systems with vigorous growing and disease-resistant varieties, higher seed rates and by nurturing soil to grow a healthy plant is possible. Savings on herbicide and operations are potentially substantial.
Farming with an emphasis on ecology rather than inputs requires practical knowledge in place of products and this creates a real need for upskilling on-farm.
In this respect, Agricology aims to provide the vital link which helps fill these knowledge gaps, with an emphasis on peer-to-peer learning through farmer profiles, guest blogs and open days.
