Obasanjo: Opponents of Atiku's Election Petition Nigeria's Enemies
Former President Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday branded as enemies of Nigeria those urging his former deputy, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar not to go to court to challenge his loss in last month's presidential election.
Obasanjo in a statement in Dubai where he is attending a function said the reason he had refrained from speaking on the outcome of the February 23 presidential election was because Atiku had gone to court to seek redress.
"We will continue to sustain Nigeria in stability and unity on the altar of justice, equity, fairness, freedom, human rights and democracy. Stability cannot be successfully built on injustice, corruption, inequity, and divided nation, and incompetence, nepotism and one-sidedness," he said.
The former president also welcomed Friday's declaration of Senator Ademola Adeleke as the winner of the September 2018 governorship election in Osun State by the State Election Petitions Tribunal.
He said the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was wrong to have proclaimed Governor Adegboyega Oyetola as the winner in the first place.
The former president said it was a "desperate attempt to change the will of the Osun people."
He said the Osun State election tribunal legal process "gives renewed confidence in the judiciary at a time when there are coordinated efforts by some political leaders to undermine, if not destroy, it."
He added: "As I have repeatedly said, the world is watching events in Nigeria with keen interest. What we do or do not do right in our electoral process will have implications not just for Nigeria but for Africa and indeed the world. By correcting what was clearly a desperate attempt to change the will of the Osun people, the tribunal has saved Nigeria from great embarrassment and started the process of saving and strengthening our democracy.
"Let me also commend Sen. Adeleke for his statesmanship in going to court to seek justice. This is the right and proper thing to do in any decent society. Going to court must be encouraged and not discouraged as some people are now attempting to do.
"While I have refrained from commenting on the 2019 elections because one of the parties has gone to court, may I point out that those who call themselves our development partners and friends and preach sacrificing justice on the altar of so-called stability are enemies of justice, democracy and Nigeria. We will continue to sustain Nigeria in stability and unity on the altar of justice, equity, fairness, freedom, human rights and democracy. Stability cannot be successfully built on injustice, corruption, inequity, and divided nation, and incompetence, nepotism and one-sidedness.
"Nigeria will march forward with or without those who will want to feed us with diet of values and actions that are not acceptable in their own countries. Nigeria is of age. And if Buhari could go to court three times to seek justice, even without reasonable cause, any Nigerian who feels denied of justice must feel free to go to court.
"Those who have conceived and are promoting the narrative that if Atiku Abubakar continues to seek legal redress there will be violence, are evil minds looking for excuse to unleash violence on Nigerians. At no time in history has sustainable peace been built on theft, injustice, corruption and inequity. These merchants of chaos and violence should have no place in any decent society. And they must know that no intimidation or prophesy of violence and doomsday will cow anybody. Nigeria belongs to all Nigerians. We will respect as friends those who believe that what is good for their country should be good for Nigeria. Yes, we are Africans but we have values that are consistent with international standards. Court is part of our democratic process and it must be used when necessary if only to achieve justice, stability, unity and progress for our country."

Remember When: Part I
by Nora Roberts
Library Journal : Part 1 of this engaging novel (written by Roberts) offers a typical Roberts heroine. Attractive and quirky, Laine Tavish owns a small antique gift shop called Remember When. After a man is accidentally killed outside her shop, Laine is dismayed to realize he was her uncle. She has spent a good deal of energy keeping her family's unsavory criminal history a secret and is unsure and more than a little uneasy about why her uncle was coming to her shop. Hunky insurance investigator Max Gannon, who had been tailing the uncle for his own reasons, soon switches his attention to Laine. An engaging dog named Henry, Laine's heart-of-gold con-man father, Max, and a stash of diamonds, all intertwine with just the right amount of humor and snappy one-liners to propel the story to an ending with just a few loose ends. Part 2 of this novel (written by alter ego Robb) pushes us into the future. New York City police detective Eve Dallas is investigating a case with ties all the way back to Laine and Max, now grandparents, married some 50 years. It's their granddaughter Samantha who is involved with the same disappearing gemstones. Roberts's gimmick of combining these two stories works fairly well. Readers of Roberts's contemporary stories and fans of her futuristic Eve and Roarke novels will love getting two books for the price of one. Essential for all public libraries.-Margaret Hanes, Sterling Heights P.L., MI
Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information, Inc. Distributed by Syndetic Solutions Inc. Terms
Publishers Weekly : A perfect marriage of sensuality and suspense, this sparkling new offering from Roberts (Birthright, etc.) and her alter ego, Robb (Imitation in Death, etc.) takes readers on a two-part journey-first to the quaint burg of Angel's Gap, Md., and then to New York City, 56 years in the future. A multimillion-dollar diamond heist connects the two halves and fuels the first story, which focuses on the romance between sexy PI Max Gannon, who's working for the company that insured the diamonds, and smalltown antiques dealer Laine Tavish, daughter of a notorious thief. Laine has worked hard to overcome her heritage, but when her father's best friend is killed outside her shop, she becomes the target of a ruthless killer who thinks she has her father's share of the take. Because the story skips ahead in time, Max and Laine have little time to explore their affection for each other, but Roberts still manages to make their whirlwind romance both believable and charming. A nerve-shattering encounter between Laine and the villain shows Laine to be as capable and crafty as Lt. Eve Dallas, who's the driving force behind the novel's second half. Set in the year 2059, the continuation finds Eve on the trail of a murderer who's after the diamonds that were never recovered from the decades-old heist. Though the identity of the criminal is apparent midway through, Eve's charismatic personality and colorful crew-including her former thief husband, Roarke, and her partner, Peabody-keep the energy level high. A true master of her craft, Roberts has penned an exceptional tale that burns with all the brilliance and fire of a finely cut diamond.

Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium to bring ocean creatures to Chicago in new spring exhibits
The exhibit will include a large replica of a blue whale heart, the size of a Volkswagon Beetle, that children can climb through.
Two sperm whale skeletons are a major highlight of the exhibit and measure 58 and 38 feet, respectively.
Kids will be able to hear the sounds of different whale species with the turn of a dial.
See Moon jellies at the Shedd Aquariums new exhibit, opening in April.
Pacific Sea Nettles are one of more than 10 species of jellies at the Shedd Aquariums new exhibit, opening in April.
Chicago is a long way from the ocean, but this spring, a pair of exhibits will be bringing creatures of the deep to the city.
[Get a sneak peek! Listen to a whale song here]
The Shedd Aquarium's Jellies and the Field Museum's Whales open in April and May, respectively, and include up-close and interactive looks at some drastically different animals.
Jellies is an original exhibit and will open April 15 in the space currently occupied by the welcome center. More than 10 species of jellyfish, including translucent moon jellies and upside-down jellies, will be on display, with several species being brought in to join the three species already at the aquarium.
Aquarium spokeswoman Melissa Kruth says the impetus for the exhibit came from a close look at the Shedd's social media buzz.
"On Flickr and Youtube, jellies were the most photographed and videoed of our animals," she says. "They're enormously popular and we're very excited about the expanded exhibit."
Whales: Giants of the Deep, which run at the Field May 20 to Jan. 16, 2011, combines the science of whales with their cultural significance to cultures around the world. The centerpiece of the exhibit is a pair of full sperm whale skeletons, stretching 58 and 32 feet long, and a car-sized model of a blue whale heart that kids can crawl through. The exhibit also includes whale songs, exhibits about traditional South Pacific cultures, and a virtual scuba dive to hunt giant squid.


Cristiano Ronaldo scored a late equaliser to rescue a point for 10-man Juventus against Atalanta and maintain the champions' unbeaten Serie A record.
Ronaldo, a second-half substitute, scored in the 78th minute, nodding in a corner from close range.
Berat Djimsiti's early own goal had put Juventus in the lead, before Atalanta's Duvan Zapata struck twice either side of Rodrigo Bentancur's sending-off.
It was the first time Serie A has played matches on 26 December.
Ronaldo started the game on the bench for the first time since joining the club for £99.2m in July, but took his tally to 12 goals in Serie A just 13 minutes after coming on.
It is just the second time leaders Juventus have dropped points this season.
"It's a shame because we still wanted to win, but the team did well," said boss Massimiliano Allegri.
Elsewhere, AC Milan failed to score for a fourth Serie A game in a row for the first time since December 1984, as they drew 0-0 with 19th-placed Frosinone.
Lazio boss Simone Inzaghi came out on top in a sibling duel as his side beat brother Filippo's relegation-threatened Bologna 2-0, thanks to goals from Luiz Felipe and Senad Lulic.
Lazio are fourth in the table, two points above Sampdoria, for whom Fabio Quagliarella and Gaston Ramirez netted in a 2-0 victory over Chievo.
Roma climbed to seventh with a 3-1 home win over Sassuolo, while 10th-placed Parma moved level on points with Fiorentina after beating them 1-0.

I have been rereading the excellent The Perfect Summer : Dancing into Shadow England in 1911 by Judith Nicolson, for the second time. Ms Nicolson is the granddaughter of Vita Sackville-West, and from the fragrant confines of Sissinghurst, she is able to draw on all kinds of personal info from Great Aunt this and Great Grandmama that on all things decadent and Edwardian. Her acknowledgements page features the kind of very grand characters who the Mitfords would have known. This is a fine history book, mainly because it divorces itself from the canon of history books by actually being readable. It focuses on six individuals from various slots in the strata of the English class system and tells the story of a nation at a time of a glorious, over-hot, decidedly poignant summer, cripplingly held on the brink of imminent disaster, when the world of Edwardian England is about to be blasted to smithereens by the trench warfare of the First World War.
One of the delightful debutantes towards which Ms Nicolson casts her tidy pen is Lady Diana Manners [pictured above],later Lady Diana Cooper: fashionista, cloche hat wearer, Vogue powerhouse, Slade Art School attendee and general Edwardian It Girl. As well as being something of a modernist loon by Edwardian standards, painting her bedroom at Belvoir Castle black, practising boxing daily and sniffing 'chloro' (chloroform) for high jinks amongst her high class Edwardian coterie, Lady D Manners "comes out" in the book. Now, Ms Nicolson doesn't of course mean coming out in her grandmother Vita Sackville-West's meaning of the phrase, because there appears to be nothing remotely Sapphic about Lady M. She was far too busy winning costume balls and wearing double layers of crimson lipstick for any lesbian activity. No. Lady DM was part of that unfortunate racket that was compulsory for ladies of her class and era : The Season. During one's first season you were pushing your marriageability if you didn't get a proposal. Lady DM feared that the ostrich feathers she was forced to wear for Royal presentation would make her look faintly ridiculous. This was before she took into account that everyone wearing Edwardian high class fashion looked like a cross between a stuffed fabric cushion and a drunk giraffe. By one's second season, matronly eyebrows of maiden aunts were raised slightly : you were desperate for a proposal by one's second season but had to appear not desperate. By the third, it was India or spinsterhood, and no one ever quite agreed which was worse. Lady M didn't have any of that, of course. She was too busy designing Russian-inspired dresses with fur lining whilst sitting in draughty corners of Berkeley Square dances or rocking up to the ancestral pile to get pissed with young fey chaps called Kim. The supper menus for these Edwardian balls for the Season never varied. They featured an alarming amount of hothouse peaches and strawberries, soup (hot and cold) and oysters and lobsters. It was a kind of Carole Middleton-friendly menu, bereft of carbohydrates and excitement. At one costumed ball, Lady M won 250 guineas for her fancy dress costume – which, Nicolson points out, was the equivalent of five years' income for a labourer at the time. Lady M planned to spend the money on books. Devonshire House was a key site for all things Season. It is now the home of Iran Air, as Devonshire House, including its 3 acre garden housing the Duke of Devonshire's personal tennis court, was mown down in Piccadilly in 1935. Iran Air is a particularly dispiriting office featuring sloppy grey furniture with holes in and a window which appears to have never known a windowcleaner. You would find it nigh impossible to imagine a 1911 upper class toff rolling cherry brandy cocktails around his delightfully plummy mouth, surrounded by rose bushes filled with pink electric lights in the hazy garden and then gamely making a tremulent pass at Georgiana in the corner to whip her round the dancefloor to Alexanders Ragtime Band. I don't think anyone's tried that in the offices of Iran Air.
The great thing about Nicolson is that she is a splendid storyteller as well as a well-informed historian – if only she referenced her books, we would be able to find out where she has trawled through stacks of books to find her information – and she also has the canny eye for the personal feelings of her characters, although perhaps here she takes a liberty better suited to the writer of fiction, to state how Queen Mary was feeling at a given time, and to furnish this book with a huge amount of inner feelings of people who she cannot have met, unless she is 140 years old. The effect of this, of zooming down through the telescope of historical context to a small, plaintive, individual detail, is smashing for the reader, and presents a series of heartbreaking snapshots that tell more about a moment than a paragraph of dry socio-economic detail could : the choirboy's mis-spelt name on his Coronation entry card, the smell of the Blenheim footman's powdered hair, the luscious breakfast in the mornings at Belvoir Castle, with red flags signalling the Indian tea pot and a yellow flag for the Chinese tea, the filth and stench of Hyde Park Corner, with its combination of deisel fumes and horse manure as the motorcar takes hold and the lady of means in the back of the car pokes the neck of her driver with her parasol to indicate which route to take, the nerves of the ballet dancer Nijinski, evident in the twisting of his thumbs and fingers at Richmond tea parties, the loneliness and sexual isolation of the poet Siegfried Sassoon through the long Kentish summer and – perhaps rendered the most futile vision by the facts that followed – the garden of The Old Vicarage at Grantchester, littered all summer with books of the poetry writings of its lodger, Rupert Brooke, the pages gently fluttering in the occasional, peaceful summer breezes. Perhaps among those books, was his poem, The Soldier, published the following year, the famous opening of which "If I should die, think only this of me / That there's some corner of a foreign field that is forever England…" banging on about the nobility of being of English matter in an eternally English earth and dying for war. It took The First World War only eight months to claim Brooke. His was an ignoble death of sepsis from an infected mosquito wound on a lonely Greek island. One wonders what he must have thought of England then.
I am mainly re-reading this quite gorgeous book in order to fall into Nicolson's next : The Great Silence : 1918 – 1920 Living in the Shadow of the Great War. Now, that one is really going to be great. It is going to thoroughly depress me. The great sweep of Edwardian niceties destroyed by the war, the shell shock, the return home, the black-edged telegrams of notifications of death, the dead poets, and the irretrievably lost England. Goodbye To All That. Jeez. I'll be lucky to make it to Juliet Gardiner's The Thirties. That's where I am going next (if I don't end up in Post-Great War Therapy first). After being depressed and upset following the detritus and flotsam and jetsam left in the wake of a great catastrophe I am going to cheer myself up by reading about means testing and economic depression and Orwellian urban poverty. Honestly, History books rock. And, should I survive the major onslaught of margarine, trench foot, poverty and terror that is the early twentieth century, I shall presently be rolling out the barrel with another of Gardiner's fruitiest, The Blitz: The British Under Attack. Whatever I do read about the twentieth century, I certainly shall not be reading anything about The Titanic. If I read any article, view any miniseries or catch the self-satisfied smug smile of the Winslet from a national newspaper again in the next three weeks I shall scream. I think the low point was in last Sunday's The Observer, which, for reasons only connected to mawkish commercialism, enclosed an A1 size ship plan, replete with third class dining saloons, drawing of promenade decks, snapshots of the Captain and a picture of the iceberg. It sank. I get it. Tons of ships sink because of idiots who don't read ice warnings. Why are we always reading about this one? Who gives a crap whether Lady GnarFnar and Lord FnarGnar of the Ostentatious Rifles Regiment survived or whether there was apple cake for dessert in second class or whether Leonardo di Caprio shagged Kate Winslet whilst pretending to "paint her portrait"? An entire section of my local Waterstones is devoted to Titanicism. We have menus from the Titanic, drawings of people who may or may not once have seen the Titanic, books about people who have been seen discussing Titanic at bus stops, information on floral displays within the Titanic and instructions for Titanic cocktails which, I can only imagine, include an awful lot of ice.
Avoid the ship that wasn't in shipshape shape. Head for the History drawer and collect either of Judith Nicolson's, for an intimate portrayal of country first in grandeur and then in trauma, which is made real and accessible by the articulation of personal impact on a series of real individuals. Yes, there is an awful lot of info that Deborah, Duchess of Devonshire and similar high born peeresses probably gifted to Nicolson over steaming tea and Chatsworth crumpets, but this kind of verbal history dies with its speaker unless someone crystallizes it and writes it all down, and there is no one better to tell us about history than the people who made it. Nicolson's books are gems. Anyone who is interested in the first twenty years of the last century and the world that shaped our grandparents will find them touching, fascinating and brilliantly written, as the effects of the national and the political are effectively distilled into the personal. The history is in the detail. These are wonderfully evocative books, ones I found strangely compelling. Go and read them.

Twitter Permanently Banned Me For Reporting Sexual Abuse and Harassment, I Mean, For Exposing Their Blue Check Mark Public Figures as Lying Bigots and Frauds

I live inside a surreal and hellish nightmare now. The following is a true story.
My name is Sarah Braasch. If you know who I am, you either know me as the Yale Nazi, an evil white woman Karen who was trying to lynch Black children at Yale, while they nap no less, by swatting them, by calling the police on them in the hopes that they'll be slaughtered. Or, you know me as the innocent victim of the Living or Napping While Black Hate Crime Hoax at Yale, a lifelong human and civil rights activist and attorney, whose life and career were decimated at the hands of the Yale Admin, the Fake News Press, and the Moral Outrage Industry.
And, if you don't know me, if you missed the global defamation campaign against me that cast me as public enemy #1, you should still be paying attention to my tale. Regardless of whether you see me as villain or savior, what was done to me is the banshee's wail, portending our ruination. I committed no crime. In point of fact, I did no wrong, but it is not necessary that you believe this. Even if you firmly believe that I engaged in racism, either implicit or explicit, you should be terrified and horrified by what was done to me.
We are destroying ourselves. This is not hyperbole.
We are driving private nobodies to suicide via Trial by Twitter without Due Process for sport and fame and money, and we call it Social Justice and pretend that this helps Black people or anyone. And, the suicides are stacking up: Caroline Flack, David Bucci, Austen Heinz, Mike Adams, Alec Holowka et al. And, no one cares. Despite some hand wringing in the days and weeks after their deaths, the mobbings continue unabated.
If you, like Frederick T. Joseph, take video of your white neighbor, Emma Sarley, at a Williamsburg dog park in Brooklyn, and pretend that her angry demands that you control your dog or "stay in your hood" are a racist hate crime and subject her, a private citizen nobody, to Trial by Twitter and get her fired, guess what? You're the monster.
If, like Gerritt Jones, you try to turn a snippet of video of your frail, little old white lady neighbor and her tiny dog in your private, gated community, into a free advertisement for your military grade armed security business, Black Anchor Tactical, including by sending news crews to the home of an elderly couple, you are not the victim in this scenario.
If you take a TikTok video of your little old white lady busybody neighbor, because she didn't like your tacky Tigger flag, and publicly shame her as a racist for the whole world to see, the next Rosa Parks you ain't.
And, the Fake News Press is just as much to blame, including Newsweek. I spent days trying to stop the Tigger Flag Karen story from getting much traction, but that didn't stop Newsweek from pretending like this was an actual, legitimate news story, to wring as much Moral Outrage Industry money off of the back of a little old white lady private citizen nobody as they could.
I spent days on Twitter, castigating all of the major mainstream news media outlets, and the usual Twitter Race Hustlers, like Tim Wise and Attorney Ben Crump, to stop them from getting the innocent SFA State U girls, some of whom are Black, killed, and destroying their young lives, after the Living While Black Race Hoax that took place a little over a year ago.
I call them the Woke KKK. Because they join witch hunts and extrajudicial social media mobs meting out grossly disproportionate and immediate sentences for alleged and non-crimes without Due Process. The sentence is always the same: Social Death. And, if you dare not die, if, like me, you even dare to fight for Justice and to end Cancel Culture, they will never cease attacking you until you're dead, because you are the proof that they are lying bigots and frauds. It matters not to them that I already almost died, many times over. It matters not to them that my human and civil rights academic and legal careers are over. They aren't going to stop attacking me until my dead body is hung up in a public square in DC.
The very bitter irony is that the ranks of the Woke KKK are comprised of many law professors, licensed attorneys, government officials, as well as social psychologists, academic philosophers, and whatever passes for a journalist these days, those who claim to be anti-the Carceral State, anti-mass incarceration, and pro prison and police abolition. Attorney Rebecca Kavanagh, along with Josie Duffy-Rice, both formerly of The Appeal, which is more or less synonymous with Twitter Race Hustler Shaun King, who played a major role in the Living or Napping While Black Hate Crime Hoax at Yale, have waged a more than three year campaign to destroy me. Kavanagh has repeatedly called for me to be prosecuted, expelled, disbarred, ruined, and she bragged about getting me kicked out of the Justice Collaboratory at Yale Law School. Duffy-Rice cracked jokes about how my life is worthless, because I don't have a Twitter blue check mark, and laughed, as my followers and I begged her and Patricia Arquette to stop mobbing me to suicide, and told her that I was on the suicide hotline.
Richard Painter, former White House Ethics Lawyer (?!) with 750k Twitter followers, teamed up with a group of TikTok sex workers to drive me to suicide via Cancel Culture and Trial by Twitter over a now almost 3 and ½ year old non-event and non-crime, and this is far from the weirdest thing that has happened to me, since the Hate Crime Hoax at Yale.
Painter began attacking me on September 13th, and he hasn't stopped since. He began his crusade to decimate me, to use me as a proxy to attack University of Chicago Law and Philosophy Professor Brian Leiter, because Brian has unfailingly stood by my side for the entirety of this hellish nightmare. I had the temerity to defend myself against his attacks, so he stepped up his brazen lies about me. He accused me of calling Don Lemon of CNN racial slurs, and he also has repeatedly falsely claimed that I accused him of being involved with Slate and the Above the Law Blog's efforts to doxx and ruin the future career prospects of Federalist Society students at Stanford Law this past spring. Recently, Painter decried Yale Law School's threats to pre-emptively disbar a Native American Yale Law School student and Federalist Society student member for a silly party invite on a Group Me that referenced a trap house and basic bitch snacks that was deemed racist. Coherence is not Painter's strong suit.
Which brings us to the title of this essay. A Twitter account called, "Crying Sarah Braasch," with the Twitter handle, @TearsofSarah, has been terrorizing me for the past few weeks. I believe that this so-called parody account is the brain child of the union between Richard Painter and the TikTok sex workers. This account is not parody. You cannot parody a private citizen nobody. I am not a public figure. I am not a movie. This is just abuse and harassment meant to drive me to suicide.
I have been reporting every disgusting tweet from this account, and I asked my followers to do likewise. Twitter Support and Twitter Safety have done nothing for weeks. A couple of days ago, the account was tweeting as me and talking about how I suck the dicks of my Yale Advisors. Of course, I reported these tweets to Twitter Safety and Twitter Support. I also posted tweets about the sexual abuse and harassment and about how Twitter finally acted against this account that has been tormenting me for weeks. Twitter Support had sent me emails thanking me for making these reports and advising me to go to the police with documentation of the abuse and harassment.
Shortly thereafter, I got a message on Twitter that my account had been suspended. I went to my email. I had a message from Twitter Support saying that my account has been permanently suspended for abuse and harassment, because I reported the @TearsofSarah account and documented the abuse on my Twitter feed. I was in shock. And, then I wasn't. I don't know if this was a grievous algorithm error, but Twitter is taking advantage of the situation to get rid of me. They are currently refusing to restore my Twitter account, which is nearly my only means of saving my life and career.
I have not a single doubt that Twitter is exploiting this opportunity to silence me, because I have been exposing their blue check mark public figures as the lying bigots and frauds that they are, and for repeatedly attempting to mob me to suicide on their platform. I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. And, I just filed my 2nd appeal with Twitter, after they rejected my first. I don't know what's going to happen. This is not the first time that Twitter permanently suspended me for pointing out that I'm the victim of abuse and harassment on their site. Hopefully, I'll be able to pull off another miracle and get my account restored.
I recently watched Monica Lewinsky's HBO documentary on Cancel Culture, 15 Minutes of Shame. I was very happy to see that this documentary focused on private citizen nobodies whose lives had been utterly destroyed by Cancel Culture and Trial by Twitter. Roxane Gay makes an appearance. As does Kara Swisher of the New York Times. Of course, they both say a lot of decidedly stupid and ridiculous things about Cancel Culture. They go with the usual drivel: Cancel Culture is just Consequences Culture. Cancel Culture is just the marginalized acting collectively and taking advantage of the power of social media to hold the powerful accountable for their bigotry. Kara Swisher pretends that she doesn't know that the Fake News Press, including the New York Times, have near impunity to wantonly destroy the lives of private nobodies for Moral Outrage Industry money, thanks to New York Times v. Sullivan, which begs to be revisited to clarify the definition of public figure. This is why Sarah Palin's defamation suit against the New York Times is so important.
Roxane Gay, of course, fails to mention that she was a major player in the global defamation campaign that almost got me killed, that she defamed me in the New York Times, that she incited numerous mobs against me on Twitter, that she insisted that I'm a white supremacist, even though she knows my Yale Advisor Jason Stanley, and I have not a single doubt in my mind that she absolutely knew that I was an innocent Yale grad student and civil rights attorney. Gay also neglects to mention that she was handsomely rewarded by Yale President Peter Salovey for helping him destroy me, in the form of a Visiting Professorship at Yale, and she is far from the only one who was so rewarded.
But, the cherry on the cake of Roxane Gay's asinine commentary on Cancel Culture was when she said that, sure, innocent people get destroyed by Cancel Culture, but innocent people also get destroyed by the criminal justice system. I don't think she realizes how revealing this statement is of her depravity. She compares the legitimacy of the Woke KKK, of extrajudicial social media mobs sentencing private nobodies to social death for alleged and non-crimes, and sometimes driving innocent people to suicide, to our legal system, with Due Process and Equal Protection and constitutional fair trial protections.
Pray for us.

I'm in a state of shock right now, and I don't know what to think. Twitter is allowing the most grotesque and disturbing abuse and harassment to take place against me on their platform right now, and they still haven't restored my account, when they suspended me for reporting abuse and harassment. I'm in shock at the capacity for sadistic cruelty against me.

Ambassador Liu Xiaoming congratulates Chopsticks Club
Thu, 17/12/2020 - 12:59/Posted by HJ Colston
Premier Xi Jinping's state visit in October 2015 on the invitation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, is heralded as a significant event in this "golden time" of China-UK relations. Since 1993, Chopsticks Club has been committed to developing China-UK cultural understanding and facilitating links between China and the UK and supporting its membership network.
On the eve of the launch of the Club's new website, His Excellency, Ambassador Liu Xiaoming, extended his support of the Club. "Warm congratulations!...I hope the new website will serve as a better platform for Chopsticks Club to bring more Chinese and British people closer and enhance mutual understanding."
Ambassador Liu continued, "Let's continue with what we can and what we have to work hand in hand with joint efforts to ensure the better future of the two countries and the two peoples."
Ambassador Liu's words are very pertinent; people are what Chopsticks Club is about. Our membership network has been built up over 23 years and is based on face to face meetings with tens of thousands of people who are interested in China, living and working in our two countries. Through mandarin learning, cross-cultural training, business services, recruitment and networking events we have shared insight, facilitated links and built up trusted friendships to create the largest, independent China-UK network.
We look forward to continuing our work and supporting our members into the future as they build their businesses between China and the UK!

A homeowner loan refers to money lent to borrowers against their property. This type of loan is only made available to individuals who own a home.

Home owner loan companies that have personalized services can be pretty hard to find especially when you are looking for affordable offers.

Working with Brush Strokes Loans helps you get services from lenders who offer different types of secured loans, including homeowner loans and logbook loans, that are able to match your profile, such as JustLogbookLoan, just to name a few.
What is the purpose of homeowner loans?
Homeowner loans involve acquisition of large amounts of cash in the form of loans. Since the loan involves taking huge cash, it is typical for the lenders to inquire the use of this cash. Numerous homeowners choose to take this loan for different use. It could be to renovate their home, take a family vacation, and consolidate their existing debts among others. We are happy to help you get a loan without the need to ask too many questions about the use of the cash. Unlike Sky Loans we fully trust our borrowers to have a solid reason for the need of cash before they choose to run for these huge loan sums.
While many may seek to check for numerous eligibility requirements, we only consider a few. This makes us the most flexible homeowner loan provider in the UK region. We do not seek to look into a client's credit history. Proof that you can pay back the loan is sufficient to qualify you for a homeowner loan.


Although the initial cleanup from hurricane rain and floodwaters is nearly finished, facility managers in the south have an ensuing issue to now consider – indoor air quality (IAQ).
Standing water and wet materials are breeding grounds for fast-growing microorganisms such as mold and bacteria. Failing to remove contaminated materials and reduce moisture and humidity may present serious long-term costs for facility managers and health risks to building occupants.
In the aftermaths of Hurricanes Maria and Irma that hit Puerto Rico in September, asthmatics in that territory are being warned about the increased risk of mold exposure.
Numerous residential, commercial, and institutional buildings in Puerto Rico are contaminated with mold because of the water damage and people are experiencing increased levels of indoor humidity levels, made worse by the lack of air-conditioning and mechanical ventilation resulting from widespread power outages.
"We are coming across mold and other microbial issues in many of the properties we are called upon to inspect and provide our expertise," according to Harry Pena, president of Zimmetry Environmental.
Sick building syndrome, typically attributed to poor indoor air quality because of contaminants, such as mold and mildew, is a major concern in facilities damaged by flood waters in many US cities.
If the mold and mildew aren't properly removed, building occupants may experience immediate adverse health effects attributed to mold exposure. Most common short-term effects include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue.
According to the EPA, other health effects may show up either years after exposure has occurred or only after long or repeated periods of exposure. The long-term effects, including respiratory disease, heart disease and cancer, can be severely debilitating and fatal.
These federal agencies have guidelines that include protective measures for mold remediation and cleaning.
Goodway.com is also a helpful resource for facilities affected by flooding and offers you some of the best advice and products to get your facilities back in operation. For example, CoilShine-BC Mold and Mildew Inhibitor is a commercial grade, EPA-registered, ready-to-use treatment that inhibits mold growth. It can be applied to coils, ducts, drain pains, and other components, and is formulated for use in sprayers. In addition, FreshDuct Odor Eliminator controls the odor left behind by mold and mildew. It's non-toxic and biodegradable, destroys odor molecules on contact, and leaves your ducts smelling fresh.
You can use these four steps to initially control mold outbreaks on hard surfaces or within an HVAC system.
Identify and clear the source of water. This could be free flowing water, or damp conditions caused by incorrect air-conditioning settings or system malfunction.
Clean ALL surfaces with an EPA-registered disinfectant that is effective against mold, mildew, bacteria, and more.
Protect surfaces against mold growth (as the disinfectant only cleans it right then and there) by applying an EPA-registered growth inhibitor that's labelled for use while buildings are occupied.
Fight lingering odor with an effective odor neutralizer.
Ultimately, when it comes to mold remediation, time is critical, as well as getting professional services from a mold remediation specialist, if needed. Getting your facility in shape sooner rather than later will help you help assure indoor air quality and save you from any additional post-hurricane headaches in the months to come.

The MV Western Belle is a twin screw passenger vessel. She is owned by Ullswater 'Steamers', who refitted her and launched her on Ullswater in Autumn 2010.

History
Built in 1935 by Fellows & Co of Great Yarmouth in East Anglia for Millbrook Steamboat & Trading Co Ltd.  She was used principally on excursion services from Plymouth, and also on the Plymouth - Millbrook ferry.  Her excursion routes were varied, covering the whole of the River Tamar, to the River Yealm, and coastal cruises as far as Looe in Cornwall.  During the Second World War she continued to run the Millbrook ferry, and was very busy carrying people from the city to the countryside each night, to avoid the Blitz.  In 1955 she was briefly charter to British Railways for use on their Dartmouth - Kingswear Passenger Ferry, afterwards she resumed service from Plymouth.  In 1985 The Millbrook company, by this point owned by Dart Pleasure Craft Ltd of Dartmouth, abandoned its services in Plymouth, mainly due to competition with Plymouth Boat Cruises, and the MV Western Belle was transferred to the River Dart.
.
She operated on all of the 'River Link' services of Dart Pleasure craft, including Dartmouth-Totnes, the Dartmouth-Kingswear Ferry and circular cruises from Dartmouth.

In 2000 Dart Pleasure Craft took over G.H. Riddalls and Sons, their main competitor on River Dart services.  With the increase in size of the fleet, the MV Western Belle was surplus to requirements and she was sold to Chris Cruises of Hampton Court on the River Thames, where she was used for charters.  In 2008, she was sold to Ullswater 'Steamers' and laid up at Maryport in Cumbria. She was then transported to lake Ullswater in July 2010 to start service on the lake in Autumn 2010.

The MV Totnes Castle was also bought by this operator. She was transported overland to Ullswater, and became the MV Lady Wakefield in 2007.

Q: Does using System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(x) slow down bots hitting site? I came across some code today that was added in the Logon Post Action of a site.
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(3000); //slow down bots

(It is worth noting that the application already limits failed attempts before forcing the user to click out of the page.)
I was wondering if sleeping the system thread was actually doing what the comment suggests, slowing down bots trying to access the site?
And is if this does slow down bots, is it effective enough that is worth having implemented?
Thanks.

A: Thread.Sleep has no place in server software, and it's use can cause ThreadPool starvation resulting in other unrelated requests become sluggish due to the lazy nature in which ThreadPool creates new threads.
If you really want to wait around doing nothing, do it asynchronously. I don't understand why this might help though. If your pagerequests are served slowly, you'll get marked down by some search engines.

A: No, it won't. The reason is that login requests on the bot's side are (probably) asynchronous. After the request is sent, the bot simply releases his thread and moves on until your server responds.
On the other hand, you are locking your own thread, waiting, instead of handling other requests from legit users. You'd essentially be shooting yourself in the foot.

Fortune will favour the choosy investor in Europe
by Rodney Hobson from interactive investor | 27th December 2019 15:54
Investors in Europe should look to solid companies in these sectors, argues our overseas stocks expert.
Rodney Hobson is an experienced financial writer and commentator who has held senior editorial positions on publications and websites in the UK and Asia, including Business News Editor on The Times and Editor of Shares magazine. He speaks at investment shows, including the London Investor Show, and on cruise ships. His investment books include Shares Made Simple, the best-selling beginner's guide to the stock market. He is qualified as a representative under the Financial Services Act.
In these circumstances, investors seeking opportunities in Europe should look to solid companies such as pharmaceuticals and well capitalized banks that have stayed clear of controversy and have strong balance sheets. Concentrate on the economically stronger countries such as Germany, France and the Netherlands.
Looking further ahead, there should be an opportunity to seek out for cyclical stocks if the Eurozone starts to pick up. The car industry is a case in point. It has suffered heavily as consumers have postponed replacing vehicles, but such decisions cannot be put off forever.
Tread carefully. Fortune will favour the choosy investor in Europe. Those already have had a prosperous 2019 with the CAC 40, the main French index, rising from 4,700 points to just shy of 6,000, while the DAX in Germany has risen from 10,500 to over 13,000. Pretty good going on a continent that is supposedly struggling.
A year of great uncertainty is coming to an end for Europe. A year of great uncertainty is just beginning. Investors looking for opportunities just across the Channel will need to tread cautiously. However, there could well be wonderful opportunities for those willing to grasp the chances that will inevitably arise.
Although it is a comparatively small issue on the world scale, the impending departure of the United Kingdom from the European Union is massive for the Continent, which has a trade surplus with the UK. Any false steps will inevitably hurt European countries even though the impact will be spread over the 27.
At least the result of the general election here means everyone knows that we really are leaving. The end of more than three years of uncertainty and parliamentary logjam at Westminster is surely good for all concerned; it is possible to argue that the state of limbo that has brought Britain grinding to a virtual economic halt was the worst possible situation for everyone.
The real work begins now, for all that has been agreed so far is a transition to a full deal that is due to be completed by the end of 2020. Some commentators feel that is a tall order, but they could be wrong. Negotiations on the tougher aspects of the transition deal didn't really get going until the deadline was looming; only when time was running out did things really move. It is likely, therefore, that a tight timetable for the next phase of talks will concentrate minds.
Why 'Brexit boom' could last 18 months
Diversifying your portfolio is easy with these ii Super 60 recommended funds
Speculation has inevitably begun over how strong a line Boris Johnson will take. Some pundits reckon that with his large majority he will be able to defy the hardline Brexiteers and take a softer approach. That sounds like wishful thinking. Johnson will surely let his success go to his head.
A more important question is how hardline the European negotiators turn out to be. There are major changes in leadership in Brussels, with German Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen replacing Jean-Claude Juncker as EU Commission president and Belgian prime minister Charles Michel succeeding Donald Tusk as President of the European Council. Chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier provides continuity, and he has wasted no time in calling the timetable unrealistic. He will no doubt prefer to delay the inevitable if he can as the full withdrawal of the UK will leave a €10 billion a year hole in the EU's budget.
In a case of the tail wagging the dog, the nations that are net recipients of European Union funds have the upper hand over those such as Germany, France and the Netherlands that are footing the bill. In the absence of general agreement on increasing or reducing total expenditure, each year's spending total remains the same as the previous year. On the other hand, EU rules forbid a budget deficit. So when the UK eventually leaves and takes its cheque book with it, the net contributors will have to make up most of the difference.
Barnier can no longer count on the House of Commons blocking a no deal Brexit. While he is in charge of the talks, there will be pressure on him to secure a deal that protects European economies at a time when the slowdown in global trade is having an impact on the Continent.
Source: interactive investor Past performance is not a guide to future performance
Germany, Europe's powerhouse, has narrowly avoided falling into recession but it enters 2020 in an uncertain state. Long-serving Chancellor Angela Merkel is going through a lengthy and reluctant departure.
Her successor has already been chosen but Merkel will stand down in her own good time. She hands over a rocky coalition government with a reluctant partner in the Social Democrats, who have suffered in successive elections and have themselves been through a leadership struggle, while the far right and the Greens have surged in opposition.
The scope for a government boost to the economy is limited, as the German government, like the EU itself, must by law balance its budget.
Recent economic figures have been mixed. Industrial production, for example, declined by 1.7% from September to October to stand 5.3% below October 2018 levels, and the economy as a whole is expected to show growth of only 0.2% in the final quarter of 2019. The fear is that a prolonged recession in manufacturing will spill over into the service sector.
However, confidence among German firms, particularly in the service sector, has turned more upbeat. The Munich-based Ifo economic institute reported that its monthly survey of 7,000 companies had risen to 95 in November, making three consecutive monthly rises after falls in 17 of the previous 21. At worst, the German economy is bottoming out; at best it will show a rebound after this year's stagnation.
French president Emmanuel Macron has done his best to fill the political vacuum in Europe left by the stasis in Germany, but the populace is conspiring against him. The weekly protests by gilets jaunes ran right through the spring and summer; now strikers threaten to add a winter of discontent.
Railway workers went on strike this month in protest against plans to end their generous pension arrangements that, among other things, allow train drivers to retire in their early fifties. Ominously, bus drivers, hauliers, hospital workers, airline ground crew, air traffic controllers, postal workers and other groups joined in support of the striking train drivers.
Macron is trying to consolidate France's 42 pension schemes into a single system but, as previous presidents have found, attempts to reform labour regulations and practices are likely to run into a storm of active protests. As he has also alienated farm workers fearing for their livelihoods and hospital workers claiming that resources devoted to health are dwindling, the upheaval is likely to continue.
Should the Eurozone need a boost, the reins at the European Central Bank are in new hands. Mario Draghi has been a remarkable success as the bank's president, talking the talk without always having the ready ammunition to deal with the many problems that the zone has faced in recent years. His successor Christine Lagarde warned after her first meeting that the risks are on the downside but she claimed that the zone's economy is bottoming out. She forecasts growth of 1.1% in 2020, roughly on a par with 2019.

If you are looking for the simple life, you are not alone. The book, Simple Church, interviewed more than one thousand people across America. They come from every geographic area, a diversity of races and ethnic groups, and across the age spectrum. They are nearly equally divided between genders.
Their stories are different; but at the same time, they have similar themes. Life is stressful. Life is busy. Not enough time for the things that really matter. And most of the time, they tell us they feel financial stress as well.
The answer? Americans are rediscovering simple. At least they are aware that they need to rediscover simple. People are hungry for simple because the world has become much more complex. The technology revolution has really become an information revolution. We have access to more information, more products, more research, and more ideas than at any point in history. But the information revolution and the material wealth of Americans have made life for many people much more complex.
Eric Geiger and Thomas Rainer wrote Simple Church a few years ago. They were amazed at the response. Church leaders wanted simple. Church members wanted simple. In the midst of the harried world of complexity and uncontrollably complex lives, people want to find simple for their lives. They long for it, seek it, pay for it, and even dream of it.
The simple-life revolution has begun. And we're finding it not only in churches out also in individuals. The surveys show that people are desperately seeking the simple life.
As in all things we can turn to Jesus as our example and our inspiration. He didn't have to contend with e-mail, cell phones, tweets, or pages-and maybe we can learn from that. We are amazed at the simplicity of his earthly life. Despite the demands of the entire world on his life and time, He spent time with his friends. He loved little children. He gave attention to those in need. He spent time with his father. But he was also a revolutionary; he turned the world upside down.
In the Sermon on the Mount (Matt. 5), Jesus said those who are blessed are the poor, the hungry, those who are mourning, and those who are persecuted. He said to turn the other cheek and to love your enemies.
Think about qualities you most admire in Jesus as he lived his life on earth. List them.
Review your list and circle one or two characteristics of Jesus that you wish were more evident in your life.
How would simplifying your life help you live with the priorities Jesus had while on earth?

A Valencian dug living in Glesga
Whit's aw this?
14 January 2014 by Wee Ginger Dug
The debt we owe to the Union
It doesn't really matter how often a pro-independence organisation, website, or individual publicly refutes one the many lies perpetrated by the Better Together campaign, the lie continues to be asserted – all too often unchallenged by the supine British media. Just within the past few days, Alistair Carmichael repeated the spurious claim that Scotland benefits financially from the Union when in fact the reverse is true, and Alistair Darling repeated the multi-refuted Unionist fantasy that Alex Salmond need only snap his fingers and every indy supporter with a keyboard and an internet connection will stop taking the piss out of Better Together and its minions.
Speaking entirely personally, because I am not a member of any political party, I would love Alex Salmond to make a public statement asking people to be nice to Alistair Darling. I'd take it as carte-blanche to rip seven shades of shite out of Ali, and I wouldn't be alone. Not out of badness, well not entirely, but because it would prove that Alex Salmond is not McAstaroth directing his minor demons (my demon name is Weegingerdugaroth and my special power is frying mince). We could demonstrate once and for all that this is not Alex Salmond's independence referendum by blythely ignoring him and continuing to mock. Mind you it still wouldn't stop Darling from blaming Eck for the extra abuse heaped upon him, nor stop the media from repeating the lie.
But onto the Big Lie, the one that deserves the capital letters. It's the oil. It's too volatile, and we're lucky to have Westminster to look after it for us and give us economic stability.
The first part of this statement is true, strictly speaking. Oil is volatile. All commodities are volatile, but oil is especially volatile – in the sense that it evaporates away over time, leaving you with nothing but a rank sticky toxic mess and a stain that's impossible to shift. Which is also a fair description of Scotland's Unionist parties since the oil revenues started to flow into the UK Treasury. But the rest of the claim is utter bollocks which has been refuted more often than it's been pointed out that Bruce Forsyth wears a wig. Didn't they do well. Well, no, they didn't.
Norway passed a wee historical milestone this week. Every Norwegian became a millionaire. The Norwegian state oil fund is now worth 5.11 trillion krone, or 1 million krone per head of population – around £100,000 for every man woman and child in the country. Of course that cash isn't theirs to spend individually, it's a fund for the country's future so that generations of Norwegians to come can continue to enjoy high quality public services and benefit from first class infrastructure.
And while the Norwegians were quietly patting themselves on the backs of their expensive knitwear, what was the main topic of discussion regarding the future of the UK economy? Austerity in wongaland, indebtedness and cuts.
In the independence debate, the latest salvo is that the UK government will continue to guarantee the UK's debts. Which in many ways is is merely a statement of the obvious dressed up as news. But they did also say words to the effect that the UK government would continue to guarantee existing UK debt, including that part which would be inherited by a future independent Scotland.
This is really rather important. It is in fact a tacit admission that Westminster will accept a currency union with an independent Scotland, and an admission that Westminster cannot force an independent Holyrood to accept a single penny of the UK's £1.4 trillion debt. Scotland will of course accept a share of the debt, which will be owed to the UK, but only in return for a proportional share of UK assets. It helps to smooth the path of future negotiations on independence, and as such is a major advance for the yes campaign. Not that the media would report it like that.
But the point remains, they were discussing debt, not the vast assets of Norway. If an independent Scotland had started an oil fund when Norway started its fund, we would currently be discussing Scottish assets, not Scottish debt. If Westminster had established a UK oil fund then Scotland would now be discussing what share of it was ours. Instead it's all about debt.
Norwegians are millionaires, but as part of the UK Scotland doesn't have an oil fund, we have public debt. Our public services are bleeding to death, and our straining transport and communications infrastructure cries out for investment. If we remain in the UK we are screwed economically and face unparalleled cuts in public spending – not so much cuts, as amputations and decapitations.
Monday's Newsnight on BBC2, the one for grown ups in London not the 20 minutes at the end tacked on to assuage Scotland, spent much of the programme discussing the extent to which the services of the UK state will be axed or privatised. We live in a UK where all the main parties agree on the need for cuts. They just differ on the presentation.
Scotland's oil bonanza was pissed away on Tory tax cuts, benefits to the millions thrown onto the scrap heap of unemployment as Thatcher used people's lives as a tool to break the unions and destroy heavy industry, casino banking, privatisations, nuclear weapons, and the odd foreign war or three.
Yet we're supposed to believe that Westminster is a competent manager of Scotland's economy. Better Together operates in a peculiar little bubble of parochialism where it imagines that not only are Scots unaware of the news from furren pairts, we're also unaware of the news from the rest of the UK. The big oil lie exposes itself as a lie every time we read another headline about austerity. They want to spend what remains of the oil revenues on more wars, nukes, privatisations, casino bankers and tax cuts for the well off.
And that's what really gets my goat about Alistair Darling. It's not that he defends a system that benefits the few not the many. It's not even that he exercises power without responsibility – because mere electoral rejection can't kill off a Westminster political careerist. It's that he expects to be beyond criticism, and beyond mockery. He's so eager to avoid being mocked he's turned Better Together into a joke without a punchline.
A Scotsman, an Englishman, and a Welshman got into debt. It's the way you tell them, Alistair.

For a former Marxist, Darling keeps some strange company. There is not much evidence of any left-wing principles there; he has fully embraced capitalism. Presumably any last traces of idealism have been suppressed by thoughts of a peerage.
In the event of a Yes vote, I wonder whether Darling will remember that he was born in England, as surely there cannot be much of a political future for him in an independent Scotland.
I thought it might be interesting to compile a list of unionist politicians for whom I have no respect whatsoever. Then I thought that it would be easier to make a list of unionist politicians whom I do respect, but that is wrong, because I can't actually think of any.
Following a recent news item about David Cameron expressing his support for the extraction of gas from shale, am I being too much of a naughty cybernat if I call him a right fracker?

Circulation is said to improve after getting a massage. With more efficient circulation, your muscles will be able to both heal and perform better. With increased blood flow, your muscles will be able to receive the oxygen and nutrients that it needs to keep you in front of the competition.
Flexibility is another very important aspect of being competitive and pushing your body to the limit. If your muscles are tense, they aren't going to move the way you want them to. Sports massage is the perfect way to make sure your muscles have their full range of motion.
Recovery time is important after any workout or exercise. Making sports massage part of your recovery process can help speed it up and make it more effective. Getting a massage can trigger your body to release the hormones that it needs to heal.
Injury is something that every athlete wants to avoid. Regular massage can help condition your muscles for high levels of activity. This can help you stay away from pinches, pulls, and tears that will keep you out off the field and out of the gym.
If you push your body to the limit, it uses alternative ways to create energy. Lactic acid is one example of this. If your body can't supply oxygen fast enough to break down glucose for energy, it creates lactic acid to convert to energy. This lactic acid can build up quickly and cause problems like exhaustion, fatigue, nausea, and cramps. Sports massage can help release chemicals like lactic acid and help your body balance out after a intense workout.
Every serious athlete and fitness freak knows that the mental aspect is a big part of staying on top of the competition. Believe it or not, sports massage can really have a psychological effect on you. Having that time to relax and recoup from previous exercise sessions can help you get your head back in the game.
Incorporating regular massage into your routine can help boost energy levels. This can be a game changer! Having an extra burst of energy when everyone else is running low can help you get the win.
At Indiana Massage College, sports massage is a big part of our curriculum. Our Student Massage Clinic is a great place to experience sports massage and find out what the benefits are for yourself. You can schedule an appointment to gain your competitive edge.
If you want to work with athletes or in the sports arena, sports massage therapy is a great way to do this. Contact us to learn more about what it takes to become a sports massage therapist and what you can do with a massage therapy license. We can't wait to help you get started on your path to a new career.

Australia's space industry rockets ahead
Joint media release with the Minister for Cities, Urban Infrastructure and Population
The Morrison Government is strengthening Australia's space sector with $12 million dollars in new funding initiatives announced today.
A Mission Control Centre will receive $6 million in funding and an additional $6 million will go towards establishing a Space Discovery Centre in Adelaide, the home of the Australian Space Agency.
The funding will form part of the Adelaide City Deal, which will soon be signed by the three levels of government.
Minister for Industry, Science and Technology Karen Andrews said that the Mission Control Centre will be built at Lot Fourteen and complement the work of the Agency.
"The Mission Control Centre will be a focal point for space missions in Australia, providing facilities to control small satellite missions, enabling real-time control and testing and the accelerated development of Australian satellite technology," Minister Andrews said.
"It will be available for use by space start-ups and small-to-medium enterprise space businesses, as well as research and educational institutions from across Australia.
"These investments will help the Australian Space Agency foster the growth of a globally competitive space industry, worth about US$345 billion."
Minister for Cities, Urban Infrastructure and Population Alan Tudge said the Adelaide City Deal was providing funding for innovative projects and supporting job creation in South Australia.
"This is another example of how the Morrison Government is backing South Australia to grow and create more jobs.
"Through our investments, Adelaide has become a major centre for defence and space industries and this is another step in that direction."
Both the Mission Control Centre and the Space Discovery Centre are being built with the support of and in collaboration with the South Australian Liberal Government.
The Space Discovery Centre will provide STEM education, engagement and inspiration for young Australians, as well as activities such as mission simulation and training for tertiary education.
The Liberal National Government established the Australian Space Agency in July 2018 and is investing $41 million over four years in its development as part of our plan to grow this sector, and create an additional 1.25 million jobs in the next five years.
The Agency and investment in Australia's space sector is part of the Coalition's plan to further grow Australia's economy, with the aim to triple the size of our sector to $12 billion and create up to 20,000 new jobs by 2030.
