Breitbart Slams Trump 'Flip-Flop' on Afghanistan
Generals talked Trump into changing mind
By Rob Quinn, Newser Staff

Updated Aug 22, 2017 5:31 AM CDT

(Newser) – In what some of his critics on the right saw as a decision as bad as looking at the eclipse without glasses, President Trump announced Monday night that he is going against his "original instinct" and reaffirming the US commitment in Afghanistan instead of pulling troops out. Trump had long described America's longest war as a quagmire, but he will now become the third American president, after George W. Bush and Barack Obama, to send more troops there, reports USA Today, which notes that Trump's address to a military audience at Fort Myer is one of more than a dozen times since 2001 that presidents have announced a new approach in Afghanistan. A roundup of coverage:
Breitbart, now with Steve Bannon back in charge, accused Trump of a "flip-flop" in a banner headline. An opinion piece accused Trump of "obeying his McMaster's voice," warned that his base would not be pleased with an "open-ended, vague commitment to this foreign quagmire," and stated that Trump's strategy and rhetoric is now very similar to Obama's.
Officials tell the New York Times that Trump's decision came after months of pushing from military figures in his administration with experience there. They warned that an American pullout could create a haven for ISIS and that more troops were needed, while Bannon favored withdrawing troops and relying on the CIA and private contractors for counterterrorism operations.
CNN looks at five key parts of Trump's Afghan strategy, including giving US forces more autonomy to fight the Taliban and stopping Pakistan from harboring terrorists from groups like the Haqqani network.
Insiders tell the Washington Post that Defense Secretary James Mattis, National Security Adviser HR McMaster, and White House chief of staff John Kelly, who lost a son in Afghanistan, were the key voices that changed Trump's mind. The sources say McMaster tried to convince Trump that Afghanistan was not a lost cause by showing him a 1972 photo of women walking around Kabul in miniskirts.
The AP reports that Trump's speech is getting mixed reactions in Afghanistan, though many are pleased that he decided to speak out against Pakistan.
Trump's approach may be the right decision, though his plans seem to be "more of the same" with little chance of ending the 16-year-conflict, according to the Los Angeles Times editorial board. "Given the alternative, Trump is right to try to stabilize the situation in Afghanistan," they write. "But it's hard to be optimistic about where that will lead."

Technology staffing firm TSR approves $7 million credit agreement
TSR's board, headed by CEO Christopher Hughes, approved the revolving credit agreement, which is contingent on a separate "capital infusion'' to the company. Credit: Danielle Silverman
By Ken Schachter kenneth.schachter@newsday.com @kschach Updated December 2, 2019 7:40 PM
The board of TSR Inc., facing a Dec. 30 deadline, has approved a $7 million revolving credit agreement that, if finalized, would let the Hauppauge company buy out dissident shareholders before they gain control of the company, according to government filings.
The unnamed lender, however, requires that the technology staffing and consulting company receive a separate "capital infusion" of at least $750,000 and meet other conditions by that deadline.
The potential financing deal is the latest twist in a battle for control stretching more than a year.
Under an agreement with three dissident shareholders, TSR's incumbent management in October withdrew two candidates for the board of directors after failing to raise $5.96 million to buy the 48.6% of shares held by the three investors.
Instead, two candidates backed by one of the dissident shareholders, Manhattan-based Zeff Capital LP, became directors.
If the company does not secure financing by the deadline, all TSR directors except for the two backed by Zeff would resign, effectively giving the Zeff directors control of the company and allowing them to appoint additional directors and executives.
Zeff and the other dissident shareholders gained a major stake in the company in July 2018, when Joseph Hughes, the founder and former CEO of TSR, and his wife, Winifred, sold them their 41.8% stake in the company.

The previous month, a letter sent by one of the Hughes' sons, James Hughes, on his parents' behalf, had requested that TSR put itself up for sale.
The board, led by chairman and CEO Christopher Hughes, another son of the founder, has so far rebuffed calls to sell the company.
In August 2018, the company adopted a shareholder rights agreement, sometimes referred to as a "poison pill." Poison pills are adopted by companies to dilute the holdings of unwanted suitors in an effort to fend off hostile acquisition attempts.
TSR shares closed Monday at $3.20, far below the $6.25 per share called for to buy out the dissident shareholders.
Christopher Hughes said he could not provide more details on the revolving credit agreement beyond what was stated in the Securities and Exchange Commission filing.

Q: Reverse Location.distanceBetween() I have a location with latitude and longitude and want to get a new location that has a distance of x meters from that location at an angle of d degrees. This would be the reverse of Location.distanceBetween(). Is there any Android API to do that. I know that I could program such a function myself, but I wonder if there is an API for it already.

A: There are some formulae and sample code (JavaScript) for this here: Movable Type Scripts. Look for 'Destination point given distance and bearing from start point'.
Here's an excerpt of the JavaScript from the site:
var lat2 = Math.asin( Math.sin(lat1)*Math.cos(d/R) +
                      Math.cos(lat1)*Math.sin(d/R)*Math.cos(brng) );
var lon2 = lon1 + Math.atan2(Math.sin(brng)*Math.sin(d/R)*Math.cos(lat1),
                             Math.cos(d/R)-Math.sin(lat1)*Math.sin(lat2));

In the above code, d is the distance, brng is the bearing in degrees, and R is the Earth's radius.
Porting this to Java should be trivial.

A: This is called the "first geodesic" (or sometimes "principal geodesic") problem, which will probably help you in finding an algorithm on Google if you need to implement this yourself.

A: Implement this yourself for now, but do expect this function to show up at some point, so code accordingly - create your own function, add a few unit tests.
In the future add the following to you function:
def myFunc(args):
  res = # compute stuff
  #if(debug):
    res2 = # make api call
    assert(res = res2)
  return res

And some time later:
def myFunc(args):
  return # make api call

And some time later remove the function altogether.

A: Here is the reverse of it:
SphericalUtil.computeOffsetOrigin(loc1, dist, angle);

It also has the distanceBetween function:
SphericalUtil.computeDistanceBetween(...);

Lib:

Our Lady of Grace (OLG) Church and School is considering 'Advancing Our Mission' in 2019 to give us the physical space we need to advance our mission of making Jesus Christ known and loved. As part of this effort, we are consistently seeking feedback from the OLG community.
Starting in November of 2018, we reached out to the OLG community to take soundings around our proposed capital campaign through a committee studying the feasibility of capital campaign led by OLG parishioners. We did this through a series of individual meetings with key parishioners, town hall meetings and surveys.
Building the infrastructure to more effectively advance our mission requires a shared vision and deep input from the community. This outreach was the first chapter of that dialogue.
The committee studying the feasibility of a capital campaign made the case that to advance our mission over the next generation at OLG we need to pursue the following objectives:
expand ministries and enhance fellowship and community;
serve the whole child-mind, body and soul;
engage new and young families;
ensure our priests' well-being and connectedness to the parish; and
ensure the long-term viability of our facilities.
These recommendations came out of an analysis of our strengths, weaknesses and opportunities as a parish. Delivering against these objectives meant considering capital investments in things like a parish life center (including a new kitchen), new gym, early childhood development center, priests' residence and investing in deferred maintenance.

Dedicated to Soularescent
Guys, I won't be able to update STAWP this Monday... because... I'M GETTING MARRIED ON SUNDAY!!!
Here's today's update, dedicated to: SnowyApples0 for trying really hard to guess the word count. There was math. So much math!
Also, it's still Friday here!!!!
For a few minutes, no one says anything. Doctor Dev is busy turning from Kaitlin to Saf and back again, making sure the blood transfusion is working. She keeps checking Saf's monitor, and I stare at it too, hoping the numbers on it will start to make sense. Since none of them turn red, and there is no warning alarm, I figure everything is going well.
Meanwhile, Mother is doing the same thing as Doctor Dev at Zara's monitor. While she isn't looking, Jasper gets out of his bed, staggering a little. I start to get up when it looks like he's going to fall, but Mother catches him and helps him to Zara's hospital bed. Once he's settled at the edge of her bed, the way I am at the edge of Saf's, Mother checks the monitor again, and I return to watching Saf.
"Alpha, I need to talk to you," a wolf I recognize as one of the Tanks peeks his head into the infirmary. His face pales slightly at the sight of Zara, and then pales some more when he spots Saf. He manages to school his features before Father turns to look at him, and instantly stands at attention.
"Not in here." Father shakes his head. He gestures for the Tank to exit into the hallway and then follows him out and closes the door behind him.
I hear their footsteps recede down the hall so we can't overhear, and turn back to watching Saf. Her monitor continues to beat at a steady rate, and I listen to see if her heart break is slowing down any. It's still so much faster than Zara's, which worries me, but Doctor Dev doesn't seem concerned.
"Kaitlin, how are you feeling?" she asks.
"Fine," Kaitlin squeaks, but she doesn't sound fine. I turn to look at her, and she's back to being all pale and panicky, like before. Her gaze is glued to the door, and I feel a wave of panic. What if she freaks out and tries to run for it? If her fear of needles, or blood, or whatever it is that's making her act like this wins out, Saf's in trouble. Father's no longer guarding the doorway, and I prepare to jump to my feet and cut her off if I have to.
"Logan, talk to her," Doctor Dev orders, "Kaitlin, I'm going to hook you up to a heart rate and blood pressure monitor. I want to make sure you're doing okay."
"N-no. Please don't. I'm fine, I swear." Kaitlin starts to shake.
"They're not needles Kaitlin. They won't hurt one bit," Doctor Dev says, then snaps, "Logan. Talk."
"Right... Um, so, Kaitlin..." I try to think of something to say to her, since usually she's the one who does all—and I mean all—the talking. "So... um...  we have a big game coming up?"
"The game?" Kaitlin looks kind of dazed. She usually gets super excited about games, since she cheers at every single one, but I don't blame for not caring. I don't even know why I mention the game. It's not like I actually plan to attend. Yes, a few hours ago, the game mattered—a lot. Now that Saf and Zara are both in the infirmary? I couldn't care less about it.
"Kaitlin, I need you to slide your right hand in here." Doctor Dev saves me from having to come up with another stupid response. She slides the blood pressure cuff around Kaitlin's arm, and then hooks her up to the heart rate monitor. "See, that's not so bad?"
"Sure, it's fine," Kaitlin says absently, like she's not even paying attention.
"Your heart rate and blood pressure are a little elevated, but—"
"Doctor Dev," Father interrupts, swinging the infirmary door open. "I need you to look at the Rogues."
Doctor Dev doesn't have a chance to reply. At that exact moment, one of the heart rate monitors spikes through the roof. The beeping speeds up to an insane pace, and a warning alarm starts to blare.
My own heart races and I break into a sweat. My gaze immediately snaps to Saf's heart rate monitor, but the lines haven't turned red, the way Doctor Dev said they would if something was wrong. I turn to look at Zara's next, but it looks fine too.
"Kaitlin, take deep breaths," Doctor Dev says, and I realize it's her heart rate that's racing a mile a minute. "I'm going to unhook the IV."
"What about Saffron?" I cry as Doctor Dev pulls out the needle.
"We're going to try again, Logan. As soon as Kaitlin's vitals are back to normal. Kaitlin, are you okay?"
"I-I'm fine," she whispers, and her heart rate start to slow again.
"Okay. You just breathe. Alpha, the Rogues will have to wait."
"What Rogues?" Kaitlin asks, looking at Father, and her heart rate immediately spikes again. Her eyes widen, and then her pulse speeds up even further.
I wrinkle my brows and turn to stare at her. I can smell her fear again, and she's clenching her hands together so hard her knuckles are turning white. It's kind of odd that her pulse started racing the moment Father mentioned Rogues, and that it keeps speeding up when she talks about them.
"They can't hurt you in here. Right Alpha?" Doctor Dev gives Father a pointed look.
Suddenly, I realize Kaitlin must be afraid of another Rogue attack. That's why her heart rate keeps racing, and not whatever reason my suspicious mind just conjured up.
"They're chained up in the dungeon," Father tells Kaitlin. "I have Tanks guarding them right now. They can't get to you."
"But t-they're alive?" Kaitlin whispers.
"Only for now," Father says, but Kaitlin's heart rate still speeds up. "This is why I need you to try to relax, Kaitlin. The sooner we can get the transfusion going, the sooner Doctor Dev can go look at the Rogues. I don't want them dying on me before I can question them."
"Dying?" Kaitlin whimpers.
"Just remember they can't hurt you in here," Doctor Dev repeats. "Now that's enough Rogue talk, Alpha. Kaitlin needs to relax."
"Right," she whispers, eyes filling with tears. "Relax." She starts taking deep, calming breaths, but her pulse does slow down.
"Okay, are you ready to try again?" Doctor Dev finally asks.
"I am," Kaitlin squares her shoulders, and Doctor Dev re-inserts the IV. This time, I don't take any chances. I can't risk Kaitlin freaking out again, so I think of something to say.
"Hey, want to hear about the time Jasper and I visited The Luna?" I ask. No one ever passes up the chance to hear about the most rich and powerful werewolf of all time.
Did you like this chapter?
WHAT'S THE FINAL VERDICT ON KAITLIN? I totally left a bunch of clues in this chapter, and the previous one. Can anyone figure out what she's thinking?
And whose POV should I do next? Logan? Or... Saf? I actually can't decide. Saf would be a lot harder, since shes... well, unconscious... but oh, the possibilities.
Or would you rather hear about The Luna?
I totally forgot!!!! The STAWP word count (as of this moment) is: 116,039. I'm seriously thinking of turning it into a trilogy.
♥ If you need something else to read on Monday, you should check out my other story, Hunter's Luna. There are 15 chapters (21,913 words), it's fully edited, and I update it every Wednesday. Oh, and Hunter's a complete jerk, but Luna kicks butt. ♥

Darren Criss makes history with Emmy nomination
'American Crime Story' star is the first Filipino American to receive a lead actor Emmy nomination.
Well, hey. Alongside Sandra Oh's historic lead actress Emmy nomination, Darren Criss scored himself a nod for best lead actor in a limited series or TV movie for American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace., making him only the second actor of Asian descent to be nominated in the category, and the first ever Filipino American to receive a lead actor Emmy nomination. Heck, is he first Filipino American actor to receive an Emmy nomination, ever? Somebody please confirm.
Criss received wide acclaim for his haunting star turn as real-life killer Andrew Cunanan (who was Filipino American, like Criss). Season two of the FX true crime anthology series chronicled Cunanan's notorious 1997 murder spree, in which he killed four men before shooting famed fashion designer Gianni Versace in Miami.
Overall, the series garnered a total of 18 nominations, including nods for co-stars Edgar Ramirez, Finn Witrock and Ricky Martin(!). Criss is considered a front-runner in the limited series lead actor category, which includes Antonio Banderas (Genius), Benedict Cumberbatch (Patrick Melrose), Jeff Daniels (The Looming Tower), Jesse Plemons (USS Callister) and John Legend (Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert).
What an honor, @TelevisionAcad. Thank you so much. Truly. Wow. And a huge congrats to my fellow cast and crew of @ACSFX! @MrRPMurphy does it again! pic.twitter.com/T8Wzn8Od5e
— Darren Criss (@DarrenCriss) July 12, 2018
Although this is Criss' first Emmy nod for acting, this is not his first nomination. He went to the dance in 2015, nominated for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics as the composer for the song "This Time" from Glee.
As many have noted, in the entire history of the Emmy Awards, only two Asian actors have ever taken home a trophy. Archie Pabjabi won outstanding supporting actress for The Good Wife in 2010, and Riz Ahmed won outstanding lead actor in a limited series for The Night Of in 2017.
That's two. Two Asian winners in 70 years. Wouldn't it be great to see two in one night?

Lesson learned: How loss to LAFC spurred Real Salt Lake's thrilling win over Colorado one week later
By Sean Walker, KSL.com | Posted - Aug 25th, 2019 @ 8:18pm
2019 RSL Match Highlights: vs Colorado
SANDY — Teams get better. Clubs improved. One player isn't the same at the start of a season as at the end of it.
That's the message of any sporting club, especially amongst professionals.
But Real Salt Lake took one particular lesson from a stinging 2-0 loss to LAFC and, just one week later, flipped the script in a 2-0 victory over Rocky Mountain rival Colorado to climb to second place in Major League Soccer's crowded Western Conference.
And it started with a red card.
Not that one delivered to Colorado's Kei Kamara near the end of regulation, a foul delegated by head referee Ted Unkel as a "serious foul."
The red card that may have changed Real Salt Lake's season happened a week earlier when Walker Zimmerman was sent off just 3 minutes into the second half of RSL's match with LAFC for "unsporting behavior."
RSL wanted to take advantage of that card, and they sent numbers forward. A frantic attacking energy ensued, but LAFC — long considered the best team in the league, and perhaps in Major League Soccer history — withstood the surge, then capitalized themselves by drawing Aaron Herrera into denying an obvious goal-scoring situation, sending RSL down to 10 men themselves and giving a penalty kick to Carlos Vela to break the dam for LAFC.
A week later, faced with the same situation and the same desire, urgency and energy to seal off a win over Rocky Mountain Cup rivals Colorado — a win that would send RSL to second in the west, at least for a day — the home side didn't panic.
"We sat back and had to make sure we were disciplined; we learned from LAFC," RSL midfielder Kyle Beckerman said. "That was my initial thought.
"But it gave us a bit of pep, and we knew we had to keep attacking. Things were opening up more. But sometimes you need a bit of luck in this game, and we got it tonight."
Faced with the similar opposition, a shorthanded opponent for the second time in eight days, Real Salt Lake didn't panic. They didn't immediately push for a goal.
They knew what they had to do — and they were patient.
Patient enough, even, that interim head coach Freddy Juarez and his lead assistant Tyrone Marshall didn't even feel like they needed to make a sub (beyond the 68th-minute transaction that brought Joao Plata into the game for Sam Johnson).
Mostly, RSL just needed to keep doing the same thing. Eventually, the dam would break — as it did for LAFC a week earlier — and they would find the pressure in attacking third too much, even for a goalkeeper as acclaimed as Colorado's Tim Howard.
"I think we got a little more energy. We finally realized there was an opportunity here," Marshall said of Kamara's red card. "We felt that way against LAFC, but we had more time — and made one mistake, and paid for it. But we learned from our mistake and saw that we had as much time; we knew what we had to do.
"But we had to be safe in the back. I thought we did it all tonight. The goal that was called back, and then Joao running at defenders. We put guys in situations to be successful, and Joao came out on top tonight."
Even when a seemingly match-winning goal by Damir Kreilach was called back — video review ruled that Jefferson Savarino was caught offside on the play — RSL still didn't panic.
There was still time. They still had momentum.

Less than a minute later, the dam broke in the form of Plata drawing a penalty kick by sliding a shot that caromed off the arm of one of his defenders. The Ecuadorian converted, and Savarino added the cherry on top to clinch the 2-0 victory and a much-needed three points at home.
"We kept grinding and grinding, and eventually they broke," Beckerman said. "We needed Plata to finish that; Tim is really good at penalty kicks. He got a hand on it, but it was enough. And to get that insurance goal at the end felt great."
Now faced with a road-heavy stint that includes three of the next four matches away from Rio Tinto Stadium, RSL is taking 13 out of the last 18 points into visits to Portland, Minnesota and New England (with a home date with San Jose in the middle of it).
And they're also taking a trophy with them, courtesy of the Rapids' decision.
"We could've gone home with the tie and retained the (Rocky Mountain) Cup," Marshall said. "But we knew three points were important. We have something that we're playing for: We're trying to get home-field advantage. The boys dug deep, and we showed a lot of resilience — much like over the last six or seven games."
Plata, Savarino score in stoppage time to help RSL clinch 4th-straight Rocky Mountain Cup

The Observer | Ambassador Edith Sempala | Why Museveni woman joined team Mbabazi
Posted October 21, 2015 by Ugandan Diaspora News Team in Inside Politics ~ 5,930 views
Former Ambassador to USA Edith Ssempala now compares Museveni to Idi Amin — After a 22-year career as Uganda's top diplomat in the United States, the Nordic countries and the African Union (AU), plus a stint at the World Bank, Dr EDITH GRACE SSEMPALA, 55, has surprisingly joined forces that seek to end President Museveni's three-decade hold onto power.
She is currently the head of the diplomacy and international relations desk of the Go Forward Pro Change, a pressure group led by Amama Mbabazi, a former prime minister turned presidential aspirant.
On Monday, she took on a more visible role on the local political scene when she represented Mbabazi at the 49th coronation anniversary of the Rwenzururu king Charles Wesley Mumbere. In an interview with Sadab Kitatta Kaaya on Monday, Ssempala discussed her long-faded admiration for President Museveni:
For the 22 years you have been in the diplomatic service Ugandans hardly know you. Who is Edith Ssempala?
I am Ambassador Edith Grace Ssempala and I am basically a human rights activist. At least that is how I started in the [NRM] struggle. I was a refugee in Sweden at the time [1980s], and I joined NRM because I believed in the values and the mission of the National Resistance Movement, and I became chairperson of the Stockholm branch of NRM.
What was driving me was like I was contributing to the future of my children; the children of Uganda.
When was this?
I was in Sweden from 1979 to April 1986, and when I arrived [in Kampala], I found I had been appointed ambassador to the Nordic countries. So I went back, this time to Denmark because that's where the embassy is. In 1996, I was appointed ambassador to the United States (US).
I was there for nine and a half years, and after that, I was sent to Addis Ababa [Ethiopia] as ambassador and permanent representative of Uganda to the African Union [and also] ambassador to Ethiopia and Djibouti. I was there for two years and then I was taken to the World Bank (WB).
I was taken to the World Bank not by Uganda but I was asked by the World Bank to join [its workforce].
At what stage do you then join forces against President Museveni?
Maybe what you could ask is; when did I see Uganda going the wrong way. The most glaring thing to me was in 2011 [during the walk-to-work protests]. I was still at the World Bank and I saw a policeman banging Dr Kizza Besigye's car window, and teargassing him – I call it fumigating him.
That was a shock to me because that is exactly what we had fought against. So, I did realize at that time that Uganda was on a wrong path. That showed that we [were] no longer caring for human rights [and] the very values that all of us believed in and made us join the struggle.
After [my job at] the World Bank, I really wanted to be private. I came back in December 2011, I had no intention whatsoever of being in politics, I wanted to do my own things. I mean, I left Uganda when I was almost 19 [years old]; so, I wanted to just do my own private business.
I didn't think that I would be an activist once again but things started looking so ugly, and the president started doing things, [making statements] that demonstrated that he was no longer the president I knew, that I served, that I loved, that I believed in. Things like telling Ugandans that unless they vote for him, they are not entitled to services, things like; "these people who are against me are after my oil."
Now the oil of Uganda became his oil, you know; the brutality of the police. There is really something that is unacceptable in this country that I thought was democratic. I thought that the challenges we would be having are the normal challenges of development, but here we are, getting to a situation that is in some way even worse than the Idi Amin [1971-79] and Milton Obote [1980-85] eras.
You saw the other week a woman being dragged on the tarmac by the police, tearing her clothes. [I heard some say] that she undressed herself but I think she was in such a bad situation that she could tear the rest of what she had left [on her body]. I don't know what could have been going on in her head because she was already ashamed, hurt, so it was like, "I don't care anymore, see whatever you want to see, because you have seen it anyway."
So, these kinds of things are signs of a country that is drifting toward disaster. I don't like these crime preventers… I and [six] others were appointed by the Secretary General of the UN to a do a peace-building architecture review, which we completed at the end of June, and we have already submitted our report.
One of our observations in the countries that we visited, such as Burundi [and] South Sudan, is that always the signs [for violence] are there but either we think that they will go away or we are in denial, or we hope that by running away [from the signs] it [violence] will go away by itself or we will be safe, but no one is safe in such a situation.
And to you such actions/situations make Museveni worse than Idi Amin?
Idi Amin was illiterate; so, in a way, he had no exposure. There were no core values that he had put together to say that these are the values I believe in.
So, when somebody who is more informed, exposed, someone who from the very beginning started off not through a coup d'état but a revolution, who told all of us that we are having a fundamental change, not just a change of guards, someone who said that the problem of Africa is leaders who overstay in power; well, 30 years is overstaying! The children who were born at that time are now men and women with children.
When somebody like that cannot even respect the integrity of women and a woman is just dragged on the tarmac and is stripped naked; surely, there is no way this cannot be worse than what happened during the Idi Amin [regime].
I personally had an incident during Amin's time. I was coming for half term [holidays] from Nabumali High School where I sat for my A-levels. Amin's soldiers took me out of a bus because I was wearing trousers and a dress after mini-skirts had been outlawed.
The soldier, a very terrible-looking man, said that they wanted to take me, and I imagine rape me, but by God's grace, I escaped that. But you know, I wasn't dragged on the street! In terms of comparison, I see what happened to Fatuma [Zainab Naigaga] much worse than what I experienced.
So, it is the police's harassment of Dr Besigye that ended your love for President Museveni and the NRM; how did you end up with Amama Mbabazi other than Besigye himself and his FDC?
You really don't need to be a supporter of Dr Besigye or FDC to realize what is wrong. That is one. Two, I believe in Amama Mbabazi. Actually he and Dr [Ruhakana] Rugunda recruited me [into] NRM in Sweden, and I have had many opportunities of discussion with him, and so I know him as a very diligent, decent, [and] honest man. I know him as a result-oriented man.
I see a Nelson Mandela in him because we are going to need reconciliation after the elections. Our country has been torn so badly into pieces; so, we are going to have to reconcile ourselves in order to move forward.
That is why I joined Go Forward because I know Mbabazi will give Ugandans an opportunity, the leadership we need in order to overcome the very difficult challenges that our country is facing.
Most of your colleagues in NRM who are rumoured to be in support of Mbabazi's presidential bid are still silent. How did you pick the courage? And the silence of your colleagues isn't hurting Mbabazi's aspirations?
I am a believer in God. Actually on July 18, 2015, I had a dream; God put a dream in my heart which I put on my Facebook [page] in a small statement.
My dream was about the fairness, rule of law and the fact that I dream of a Uganda where no woman will die while giving birth because of lack of attention. I also have a dream where I want to see all children having an opportunity [for] quality education.
I was educated at a village primary school [Namutamba demonstration school] where I sat for [Primary Leaving Examinations] and joined Gayaza High School. My primary school was a demonstration school but it is no longer because the primary teachers' college that made it a demonstration school is now dead. No child is coming out of [that school] anymore going to these good schools, which means [that] we are losing talent.
The children, families and the community are losing because you can't know what talent they have. They [pupils in rural schools] could be rocket scientists but because they have not had an opportunity, they are not going to be able to [achieve their dreams].
My courage, therefore, is in the inherent trust in my living God. [In the Bible], Esther [4:16] said: "If I die, I die."
I believe evil triumphs because good people do nothing, and I believe that I am not one to do nothing.
Are you suggesting that your colleagues are cowards?
No, I am not calling anybody cowards because we are all called and empowered differently. Even me, I didn't come out from the very beginning but I came out on July 18. I think maybe their time has not come, for them to come out.
Do you anticipate a free and fair election?
No, I don't but I believe that we will overcome but it is too embarrassing for Uganda and for our president because I thought this kind of thing (police brutality) was behind us.
But this is where we are; I think we shall continue to struggle. Throughout history, you have seen that evil never triumphs [and] at the end of the day, we are going to overcome, and we are overcoming this coming year.
Since Prof Gilbert Bukenya made a U-turn, some Ugandans started looking at many of you NRM Go Forward defectors with some suspicion.
I know Prof Bukenya of course, like I know many others in government, especially those who were there before. What I can certainly say is that Mbabazi is not Bukenya. Absolutely not! Mbabazi is extremely principled, and therefore his decision to 'Go Forward' is informed by principles and values that all of us see – that the NRM has drifted from what we [struggled] for.
Therefore, there is no turning back because what do you turn back to? The violation of human rights? Dictatorship? There is no reconciliation in what the regime is now doing, and our [NRM] core values. It is impossible to reconcile, and the one who needs to turn back is President Museveni.
You want President Museveni to turn back on what?
He should turn back to the core values of the NRM struggle. The core principles of democracy, respect of human rights, good governance and fighting corruption.

Amb Edith SEMPALA you have raised some real issues that this government has failed to see for them selves if I may quote your own statements below…
"So, when somebody who is more informed, exposed, someone who from the very beginning started off not through a coup d'état but a revolution, who told all of us that we are having a fundamental change, not just a change of guards, someone who said that the problem of Africa is leaders who overstay in power; "
This I believe is the fundamental problems of most Aftican leaders who want to forms dynasties rather than hand over power democratically
The current Uganda government "should turn back to the core values of the NRM struggle. The core principles of democracy, respect of human rights, good governance and fighting corruption." …. Very well put Edith

Why is it very difficult for other people to see. Things that are happening today make me scared, for me I think its terrible. You have mentioned the truth.

« Principal Residence (Canada)
US Tax Evasion: No Silva Lining »
Residence of a Trust (Canada)
In order to protect its tax base, the Canadian government taxes foreign trusts on the disposition of taxable Canadian property, and taxes certain foreign trusts on their income as if the trusts were resident in Canada. By taxing foreign trusts, Canada frustrates those tax planning strategies that move capital offshore to escape Canadian taxation. By imposing tax on the disposition of taxable Canadian property, Canada is able to tax capital growth realized in Canada.
In order for an offshore trust to fall within the tax net of Canada, the following two conditions must be present:
• a beneficiary is a Canadian resident, a corporation or trust that deals at non-arm's-length with a Canadian resident, or a controlled foreign affiliate of a Canadian resident, at any time in the taxation year, and
• the trust acquired the property from that beneficiary (or individual at non-arm's length to the beneficiary) who was resident in Canada at any time during the 18 month period before the trust's taxation year-end, and, in the case of an individual, who was resident in Canada for any period(s) of more than 60 months.
This deeming rule catches most tax strategies that entail Canadians simply placing capital into an offshore trust while retaining access to the capital by naming Canadian beneficiaries. While there are a few exceptions, they are generally somewhat remote and beyond the scope of this article.
In a recent court decision, the Canadian tax net was extended to two foreign trusts that were established to avoid the conditions listed above. The taxpayers' strategy was unsuccessful because the decision-making and control over the trust assets was exercised from Canada. A summary of the relevant facts is as follows:
• Two Canadian individuals (unrelated but shareholders of the same company) settled two offshore trusts in Barbados to hold the common shares of the company issued as part of an estate freeze. St Michael Trust Corporation acted as trustee for the Fundy Settlement and the Summersby Settlement.
• The underlying operating company grew in value and was eventually sold. The two offshore trusts realized substantial capital gains, claimed that the capital gains were exempt from taxation in Canada (as disposition of taxable Canadian property) pursuant to the Canada – Barbados Tax Treaty, and claimed refunds of tax withheld and remitted by the purchaser of the company.
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) assessed the trusts as being liable for income tax in Canada on the basis that the trusts were resident in Canada. The CRA took the position that irrespective of the factual residency of the trustees, the mind and management of the trusts was in Canada because all of the important decisions with respect to the disposition of the company were made in Canada.
The taxpayer appealed the CRA's assessment to the Tax Court of Canada, who affirmed the assessment, stating that the responsibility for the trust's decisions was carried out not by the Barbados-resident trustee, but by two of the trust's beneficiaries who were resident in Canada. The taxpayer appealed the Tax Court's decision to the Federal Court of Appeal who affirmed the lower court's decision. The Federal Court of Appeal stated that the residence of a trust may not always be determined by the residence of its trustees and the test of central management and control should be applied. Finally, in April of 2012, the Supreme Court of Canada heard an appeal of the case and again affirmed that the residence of a trust should be determined based on the central management and control test.
This case has important implications to all trust planning. No longer will a simple test of trustee residence be applied, but rather the location of mind and control will be a factor to be considered. This applies to offshore trusts as well as interprovincial planning involving locating trusts in other provinces.

There is a list of programs that all can be installed onto your computer at the same time. What is more, these programs are potentially unwanted, because they display commercial deals and offers. VeriBrowse is one of such adware applications that enter the system together with freeware apps. Unless you are careful during freeware installation, you will end up with VeriBrowse on your computer and you will wonder where all these pop-ups are coming from. You will get rid of the commercial pop-ups once you remove VeriBrowse from your computer.
Various pieces of evidence show that VeriBrowse is identical to TrustedShopper adware application. It is easy to see from the main "homepages" – trustedshopper.net, veribrowse.com and trustedweb.org are all identical. However, currently it is not possible to download VeriBrowse at the main "homepage", because some of the crucial files are missing.
On the other hand, VeriBrowse is still widely available bundled with freeware. Have you ever seen pop-ups that offer you HD player downloads? Some of them may contain a media player setup files, but for the most part they are full of potentially unwanted programs and adware applications, and VeriBrowse is definitely one of them. For the record, when carried out a thorough research, we saw that VeriBrowse gets installed bundled with MyPCBackup, Sync Folder, Mobogenie, UpdateChecker and other potentially unwanted programs.
Since VeriBrowse is an adware application, the main security concern related to it is pop-up ads. They should appear whenever you access online shopping websites, and the pop-ups will be tagged as "Ads by VeriBrowse". Most of the pop-up content is provided by right-coupon.com and dailyofferservice.com. The advertising service is supposed to help you purchase goods at an optimal price, but any security-minded computer user will tell you that trusting VeriBrowse is a bad idea, because the application cannot even review its own ads.
In order to avoid potential computer security issues, you need to remove VeriBrowse right now. Take note that the application from Internet Explorer can be removed via Control Panel, but as far as Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome are concerned, VeriBrowse has to be removed from the browser's settings directly.
After manual removal you should consider scanning your computer with a reliable antispyware tool, because there is a high chance that you have other unwanted applications installed as well.

Riverside County settles lawsuit over botched…
Riverside County settles lawsuit over botched intubation for $12 million
PUBLISHED: April 27, 2022 at 6:00 a.m. | UPDATED: April 28, 2022 at 11:24 a.m.
Staff at the Riverside County-run hospital in Moreno Valley caused permanent brain damage to a woman after botching her intubation during breast cancer surgery, a lawsuit that has been settled for $12 million alleges.
The Riverside County Board of Supervisors agreed to settle the case brought by Maria Sauceda's family on Monday, April 18, county spokesperson Brooke Federico said via email. The lawsuit was filed in Riverside County Superior Court in January 2020.
The county will pay $1.1 million toward the settlement, with its insurance company reimbursing the county for $10.8 million, Federico said.
The lawsuit alleged that Sauceda, a married mother of three from Indio, went to Riverside University Health System Medical Center in September 2019 for surgery to remove a lump in her breast.
A tube went down Sauceda's esophagus instead of her trachea, according to Rich Cohn, the family's lead attorney. The esophagus is a muscular tube that carries food and liquid from the throat to the stomach. The trachea, also known as the windpipe, carries air into the lungs.
Sauceda, now 54, lost oxygen to her brain and now needs full-time nursing care. She lives in a San Dimas facility for people with brain injuries.
"Mrs. Sauceda's brain injury is permanent and she needs around the clock care, which has fallen on her family's shoulders," Cohn said via email. "The compensation Mrs. Sauceda will receive as a result of medical malpractice will provide respite for her family and access to caregivers and therapists who can help improve her quality of life."
Nurses picket Southern California hospitals, demand more staffing
Cedars-Sinai healthcare workers ratify contract with big pay raises
Workers to rally for increased staffing at HCA-owned hospitals
Federico said the county hospital "is committed to safeguards to ensure that all patients receive exceptional and compassionate medical treatment."
"In the rare occurrence when someone does not receive the highest standard of care, we strive to understand the cause and continually improve," she added.

Kung-Fu Kenny's spreading his wings.
Kendrick Lamar's Producing A Movie With South Park's Matt Stone & Trey Parker Which Is Wild

While Kendrick Lamar fans are hoping he's preparing to release new music in 2022, he's getting creative in a different way, teaming up with South Park's creators to produce a movie.
Kendrick and fellow pgLang co-founder Dave Free have teamed up with South Park's Matt Stone and Trey Parker to produce a live-action comedy movie, written by Vernon Chatman.
Kendrick and Dave are producing the film through pgLang, which launched in 2020. The mission statement written by pgLang says they're looking to "build stories that are equally accessible and engaging, then fitting them within the best media." They are not a record label, movie studio or publishing house, but instead, they're "at service to creators", according to Dave.
The synopsis for the film, which is being distributed by Paramount Pictures, reads, "The film will depict the past and present coming to a head when a young Black man who is interning as a slave reenactor at a living history museum discovers that his white girlfriend's ancestors once owned his." Intriguing, to say the least.
There aren't many more details available about the film, with no director attached yet, nor is it known if Kendrick will appear in the film. He's previously flexed his acting abilities, having appeared in 50 Cent's TV show Power back in 2018. Starring alongside 50 Cent, Kendrick played the introspective Laces, and wowed fans with his performance.

As members are well aware, FOSI (and SIMO) have campaigned for the application of the Mineral Resources Act to the expired mining leases, especially the Enterprise Mining Lease 1117 which expired in 2007. With this new NSI Act, the government has bypassed the existing law to extend expired leases. All other expired mining leases in Queensland remain subject to the Mineral Resources Act. The provisions of the MRA, if applied, would not allow more mining to take place on land earmarked for National Park (i.e. at Enterprise Mine and Vance Mine where expired leases were also extended by the Act). The government claims the NSI Act will bring certainty to the ending of mining but it only extended mining onto land it intends to make National Park after it is environmentally devalued. Our two legal opinions can be read on the save straddie website, again under the library-resources tab. FOSI calls on the Queensland Government to amend the relevant sections (Section 11 and Schedule 1) of the NSI Act so that mining can be phased out much more quickly. There should be a halt to destruction at Enterprise and a phase out of 2-3 years, happening anyway when Yarraman Mine runs out of minerals around 2014. See article published in the latest Straddie Island News (SIN), with FOSI and SIMO's publically stated position (on sale now in island shops).

The two skeletons, encrusted with jewels and draped with garments of glittering gold appears to be the remains of Saint Hyacinth of Caesarea and Saint Clemens.
They have been preserved as sacred full-body Christian relics for hundreds of years, encased in ornate glass cases at the Furstenfeld Abbey, an elaborate Bavarian church close to Munich, Germany.
St. Hyacinth who was a Roman martyr, is said to have been tortured and starved to death in 108 AD at the age of 12, only for being Christian.
While St. Clemens is thought to have died in 95 AD in Rome. He was beheaded.

Donald Trump Destroys Cliche of the Used Car Salesman
A lying president, covid-19, Covid-19 testing, Donald Trump, fabrication, lies, manipulation, perjurer, untruths, used car salesman
books, education, experts, freedom, General Disscusion, government, healthcare, manipulation of the american public, medicine, philosophy, politics, psychoanalysis, science, truth
What sadness one feels at Donald Trump's ending the halcyon days of comparing every falsifier, manipulator, liar, con-man, perjurer, or fabricator to:
A used-car salesman.
This post has a remarkably simple, laser-like focus:
Donald Trump's lies.
According to the Washington Post, Trump told 16,241 lies in his first three years in office. Pronouncing falsehoods has been a distinctive part of his business and political identity. Myriad political commentators call this "unprecedented." It took months for major media outlets to even call these mis-truths lies because of the weighty symbolism of the office. Only in June 2019 did the media began regularly referring to him as:
A liar.
No sensible person wants to call the American president a liar.
It defames the office.
For the sake of brevity, I focus this post still further—solely on the lies Trump has told regarding only the availability of Covid-19 testing in the US.
This requires unimaginable self-control.
Because Trump's announcement last Friday that ingesting Lysol, bleach, or "inserting a light inside the body" could kill the virus almost literally begs for a years' worth of discussion—maybe ten years' worth.
But, back to the point.
Here's an analysis of the lies about testing based on multiple sources:
On Wednesday, March 4th, Trump rolled back Food and Drug Administration regulations that limited laboratory tests that states could run. Displaying his propensity to externalize blame, he said: The Obama administration made a decision on testing that turned out to be very detrimental to what we're doing. THIS IS FACTUALLY INCORRECT.
On Friday, March 6th, Trump said: Anybody that needs a test, gets a test. We—they're there. They have the tests. And, the tests are beautiful. THIS IS FACTUALLY INCORRECT. America's testing capabilities remain severely limited.
On Friday, March 13th, Trump declared the regular flu a full scale disaster, with thousands dying, and nothing meaningful done to fix the testing problem, until now." THIS IS FACTUALLY INCORRECT. In truth, Barack Obama declared a public-health emergency two weeks after the first U.S. cases of H1N1 were reported. Trump, in contrast, declared a national emergency some seven weeks after the first domestic COVID-19 case was reported—in Washington State.
On March 24th and 25th, Trump announced the United States had outpaced South Korea's COVID-19 testing, saying, We're going up proportionally very rapidly. THIS IS FACTUALLY INCORRECT. In truth, when he made the claim, rates of testing in the U.S. were lagging well behind South Korea and many other countries. At that point, South Korea had conducted five times as many tests as a proportion of its population relative to the United States
On multiple Dates in March 2020: Trump complained his administration had inherited a broken, bad, and obsolete test for the coronavirus. THIS IS FACTUALLY INCORRECT. Actually, the novel coronavirus did not exist during the Obama administration. Therefore, neither the CDC nor any private laboratory company could have produced a test prior to 2020.
As of yesterday, Estonia, Italy, and the United Kingdom were testing more people per day than was occurring in the United States.
No offense, but ESTONIA?
Turning to the cliche about used car salesman, please note that, unless they are literally psychotic—out of touch with reality, hallucinating, and delusional—used car sales people would not lie about any obvious untruths. For example, if you were buying a car without an engine—intending to install one yourself—even the sleaziest, most psychopathic used car salesman would NOT tell you it has an engine.
Or, if your best friend owns a body shop and so you're happy to get a great deal on a car with a bashed-in front end, no used car salesman would look you in the face and say,
Wow, look at that, the body's in pristine shape!
Anyone who has matured past age FIVE knows Trump is lying.
So, finally, for those of you still supporting Trump, please ask yourself:
How can we have a leader who tells bold-faced lies daily, which the media confirms are untruths, resulting in a president who neither allies nor enemies can trust?
This must end.
Meanwhile, and a true boon to the reputations of used car salespeople around the globe, your negative cliche has been replaced.
Instead of hearing phrases like, that businessperson is about as honest as a used-car salesman, people will now say, and ready yourself for the horror, that person is about as honest as the president of the United States.

For many students in our area, Friday lunch at school is the last meal they will have until they return to school Monday morning for breakfast. Working to alleviate childhood hunger, the Brazosport Cares has partnered with Brazosport Independent School District to provide weekend backpacks full of enough food to last until Monday morning for homeless and chronically hungry students who would otherwise go home to little or no meals on weekends and holidays.
In 2018, the Powerpacks program provided 18,423 meals and served 215 children in the Brazosport High School feeder pattern.

Q: Meteor: Why is Iron Router's onBeforeAction called multiple times? When I visit a route in my browser I expect Iron Router to call onBeforeAction once before loading the route. But it looks like it is being called 3 times when first loading the route.
This is an issue for me because I want to put code that redirects the user if they do not have access to that document.
onBeforeAction: ->
  console.log 'called once' #Called 3 times when first loading the route!
  thread = Research.findOne(@params._id)
  console.log thread # This is undefined at first run
  thread = Research.findOne(@params._id)
  if thread?
    Meteor.subscribe 'collabUsers', @params._id
  else
    Router.go '/research'

Since it is called multiple times, it causes issues with redirecting. First users that do have access are also redirected because at first thread is undefined.
What I am trying to do if check if the user has access to the data the route depends on, if not then I need to redirect the user. So that is why in onBeforeAction I am trying to pull a document from database and if it exists then I will load the page or else I will redirect or throw and error message at the user.
But I notice that the console.log statement in onBeforeAction is called 3 times when the route is first loaded. And also on the first run the user does not have access to any research threads for some reason (I believe the subscription has not been setup and documents are not accessible on first run) So that causes issues with my trying to see if they have access to the document because on first run nobody has access.
Here is the entire router.coffee code
appendUserData = (array) ->
  _.each array, (item) ->
    user = Meteor.users.findOne(item.userId)
    if user?.profile.firstName? && user?.profile.lastName?

            date: -1
      data
  @route 'researchHome',
    path: '/research'
  @route 'profileEdit',
    path: '/editprofile'

Here is publications.coffee
Meteor.publish 'myResearch', (id) ->
  Research.find({$or: [{_userId: id}, {'collaborators.userId': id}] })

Meteor.publish 'threadNotes', (threadId) ->
  Notes.find({_threadId: threadId})

Meteor.publish 'myBookmarks', (userId) ->
  Bookmarks.find({_userId: userId})

Meteor.publish 'collabUsers', (threadId) ->
  Meteor.users.find({}, {fields: {profile: 1, username: 1}})

Meteor.publish 'notifications', ->
  Notifications.find()

Meteor.publish 'notificationDataCollab', (params) ->
  [
    Meteor.users.find({_id: {$in: params.userIds}}, {fields: {username: 1}})
    Research.find({_id: {$in: params.threadIds}}, {fields: {name: 1}})
  ]

Any advice on how to handle this is appreciated.

A: onBeforeAction is run and rerun reactively. You probably want onRun.

Coal Atlas 2015 released
Facts and figures show the environmental and social impact of coal production
Brussels, Belgium, 18 November 2015 – The Heinrich Böll Foundation and Friends of the Earth International have published today the first English edition of the Coal Atlas 2015 in Brussels. The Coal Atlas contains the latest facts and figures on the use of coal and its environmental and social consequences. With more than 60 detailed infographics, the atlas illustrates the coal industry's impact on nature, health, labour, human rights and politics.
Moreover, it sheds light on the beneficiaries of coal production and shows the current developments of the sector in China, India, the United States, Russia and Germany.
The atlas is available free in print and online at www.boell.de/coalatlas
Coal contributes more to the climate crisis than any other energy source. In 2014 it was responsible for 14.2 gigatonnes of CO2 emissions. That is 44 percent of all energy-related carbon dioxide emissions, and more than one-quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, the extraction and burning of coal causes irreversible damages to the environment and to people's health.
In the EU alone, coal-related health problems cost up to 43 billion euro per year. Other effects of the coal industry include forced removals and repression of local residents.
"The Coal Atlas 2015 proves that there is no such thing as clean coal," says Jagoda Munic, chair of Friends of the Earth International. She adds: "Europe is still one of the leading coal consumers. Even in 2015, Europe still suffers from devastated landscapes because of huge coal mining projects, especially in Germany, and from toxic emissions in coal-dependent countries such as Poland. The resistance to a coal phase-out in Europe indicates a European Union in the grip of a powerful industrial coal lobby. But the Coal Atlas makes it clear that Europe needs to shift away from its undemocratic, irresponsible and unjust energy system into one that is socially-controlled, climate-safe, and fair."
Barbara Unmüßig and Ralf Fücks, presidents of the Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung, urge the EU to take action:
"Europe has both a historic and current emissions debt, and therefore has a specific responsibility to accelerate the transition from its current energy-mix into an emissions-free one. The last few years have shown in Germany and other European countries that a dramatic increase in the share of renewables would not only be perfectly compatible with the requirements of highly industrialized economies, but would also generate important and significant effects on innovation and jobs. This is why the EU needs to enhance its policy instruments for a transition into the emissions-free era – one essential strategy is to reshape the energy union for much more ambitious goals, including a reasonable price for CO2 emissions." This would imply also a firm approach to subsidies into the coal industry: EU member states and the EU itself have been reluctant to take action against coal projects and continue to subsidize coal related business with almost 10 billion euros per year.
"That's the other inevitable decision: The EU and its member countries have to stop supporting coal projects with taxpayers money", Unmüßig and Fücks point out. "Not only in Germany, where the mining companies have benefited from subsidies to the tune of 327 billion euros in real terms since 1970. Also worldwide, the EU is subsidizing its coal industries investments, generating countless environmental and social conflicts. One thing's for certain: The European Union must give a very clear signal to phase out fossil fuels, and first and foremost coal, if it wants to lead the global transition into an emission-free world and have its specific weight in advocating for any possible climate agreement at the COP21 in Paris."
Lucy Cadena, Climate Justice and Energy coordinator for Friends of the Earth International, says: "Europe has grown wealthy whilst burning coal for over 150 years – due to the 'lag' effect, it is these emissions that have caused the 1C increase in temperature we are experiencing in 2015. The EU is heading towards the Paris climate talks claiming to be a climate leader, but the facts don't add up: Europe continues to extract and burn coal within Europe. Globally, European nations use public money to finance dirty, human-rights abusive coal projects all over the world, whilst outsourcing emissions to coal-burning countries in the Global South – notably China – to produce goods for European consumption. These 'hidden' emissions add up to a vast footprint, and the EU's current climate pledge falls dismally short of its fair share. The Coal Atlas shines a light on the huge deficit in ambition we see as we head into the Paris climate summit, and on the need for a radical shift away from coal."
However, other global players are starting to look for alternative energy sources. In 2014, China's coal consumption went down for the first time in over three decades. Meanwhile, the Chinese government is pushing for a rapid expansion of renewable energy. In the United States, coal companies are heading towards bankruptcy due to a market shift towards renewables and other sources. On the other hand, India and Russia continue to rely on coal consumption in order to maintain economic growth. This is possible only thanks to subsidies: without them, electricity from coal would cost as much as twice the current price.

Wild Wings by Gill Lewis
Regular price $6.99 now $5 Unit price / per
This "vividly imagined and well-written novel" (Booklist, starred review) tells a gripping story about a boy from Scotland and a girl from West Africa who join together to save a migrating Osprey—and end up saving each other.
When Callum spots crazy Iona McNair on his family's sprawling property, she's catching a fish with her bare hands. She won't share the fish, but does share something else: a secret.
She's discovered a rare endangered bird, an Osprey, and it's clear to both her and Callum that if anyone finds out about the bird, it, and its species, is likely doomed. Poachers, egg thieves, and wild weather are just some of the threats, so Iona and Callum vow to keep track of the bird and check her migratory progress using the code a preservationist tagged on her ankle, no matter what.
But when one of them can no longer keep the promise, it's up to the other to do it for them both. No matter what. Set against the dramatic landscapes of Scotland and West Africa, this is a story of unlikely friendships, the wonders of the wild—and the everyday leaps of faith that set our souls to flight.

Celtic Stun Barcelona As Man Utd Advance To Knockout Stages
Celtic provided the story of the night last night as they beat Barcelona 2-1 at a rocking Celtic Park, while Bayern Munich and Juventus notched big wins and Manchester United sealed their place in the round of 16.
The warning signs were there for Barcelona ahead of the match in Glasgow, as it took a last-minute goal from Jordi Alba to beat Celtic at the Camp Nou a fortnight ago. But there was no heartbreak for Celtic fans this time as 18-year-old Tony Watt's goal proved decisive in a 2-1 victory.
The defeat in Barcelona was the only game in Europe that Celtic has lost this season. They have 6 wins,1 draw and 1 defeat and have a great chance to advance to the knockout stages for the first time under Neil Lennon.
After shockingly failing to qualify for the knockout stages last season, Manchester United made it four wins from four games as they came from behind to win at Braga 3-1. United trailed until the 80th minute, before goals from van Persie, Rooney and Hernandez made the scoreline more comfortable than it really was. Also in Group H, Galatasaray moved up to second in the group with a 3-1 win at Cluj. That was Galatasaray's first away victory in the Champions League in ten years.
There was late drama at Stamford Bridge where Chelsea and Shakhtar Donetsk played a highly entertaining match. The tie seemed destined to end in a 2-2 before Victor Moses scored with an injury time header. The Chelsea win, combined with Juventus thrashing Nordsjælland 4-0, means that just one point separates the top three in Group E. Chelsea go to Turin next month knowing that a draw should be enough to see them progress to the knockout stages.
Finally in Group F, Bayern thrashed Lille 6-1 with Claudio Pizarro registering the third fastest hat-trick in the competition's history. Valencia again got the better of BATE Borisov to join Bayern on nine points at the top of Group F.
Juventus 4-0 FC Nordsjælland
Chelsea FC 3-2 FC Shakhtar Donetsk
Valencia CF 4-2 FC BATE Borisov
FC Bayern München 6-1 LOSC Lille
Celtic FC 2-1 FC Barcelona
SL Benfica 2-0 FC Spartak Moskva
CFR 1907 Cluj 1-3 Galatasaray AŞ
SC Braga 1-3 Manchester United FC
