Ethiopia, Evangelicals and the Fake Orphan Racket
April 25, 2013 | The Daily Beast
Cover of The Child Catchers: Rescue, Trafficking, and the New Gospel of Adoption by Kathryn Joyce. Published by PublicAffairs, a member of the Perseus Books Group. Copyright 2013.
In 2009, a van from Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, carrying seven young children and babies, was stopped as it drove outside the rural, central Ethiopian town of Shashemene. The children in the van were wards of Better Future Adoption Services (BFAS), a U.S. adoption agency, and had been declared abandoned—their families unknown—in the capital city of Addis Ababa. Police outside Shashemene arrested seven adults riding in the van, including five BFAS employees. The staff, it appeared to some, had sought to process children who had living family as though they had been abandoned in another region of the country, so that their adoptions to the U.S. could proceed more quickly.
At the time, Ethiopia was in the midst of a dramatic international adoption boom, with the number of adoptions to U.S. parents rising from a few hundred per year in 2004 to more than 2,000 five years later, and around 4,000 worldwide.The boom had brought substantial revenue into the country, as agencies and adoptive parents supported newly-established orphanages that became an attractive child care option for poor families; some agencies paid fees to "child finders" locating adoptable children; and the influx of Western adoption tourism brought money that trickled down to hotels, restaurants, taxi-drivers and other service industries.
Also with the boom came early warning signs of adoption fraud and corruption. Before the van was stopped near Shashemene, there had been a glut of abandonment adoptions being processed in Addis Ababa. The number of adoption cases where the parents were said to be unknown had caught the attention of Ethiopia's First Instance Court, the body responsible for approving international adoptions. The court announced a temporary suspension on processing abandonment cases that originated in the capital until it could investigate further. For some agencies, the news was likely a blow, forecasting long wait times to process adoptions and frustrated clients in the U.S. But there was a way around: the court would continue to hear cases for children abandoned in other parts of Ethiopia.
One of the children transported in the van would later be adopted by a Christian couple just outside Nashville: 31-year-old Jessie Hawkins, a health and wellness author, and her 38-year-old husband, Matthew, a marketing executive. The Hawkinses had chosen BFAS as a protection against corrupt adoptions, assuming that because an Ethiopian woman living in the United States, Agitu Wodajo, ran it, the agency would operate more ethically than those lacking a local connection. Wodajo's public professions of Christian faith reassured them as well.
Before the children were moved, BFAS notified Hawkins and the adoptive families they were taking the children to a cleaner and safer orphanage. Wodajo later claimed to me that the children were moved not to change their paperwork but because a colleague of a BFAS staffer who wanted to establish his own orphanage had asked to "borrow" some BFAS children to pose as his wards so he could obtain a license. The U.S. families didn't learn until much later that the party had actually been arrested.
But there were earlier indications that the children's paperwork at BFAS was a fluid matter. An e-mail from BFAS to U.S. adoptive families that July said that the agency was trying to locate children's birth families in case the court decree didn't allow them to be processed as abandoned. "If [the birth families] are willing, your children will be filed for court as a family member relinquishment and not as an abandonment," the letter read. "So, BFAS is waiting for one of two things. 1) For the court to open their doors to new abandonment cases or 2) For birth families to relinquish the children so we can file immediately." It seemed like an acknowledgement that the agency would pursue whatever avenue was quickest.
Hawkins herself was told different stories about the daughter she had committed to adopt, a four-year-old girl who had been declared abandoned and whose mother BFAS now said they were trying to find. "This is when I started to get suspicious," Hawkins told me. "I thought, if you're so confident she was abandoned, why are you trying to find her birth mother now?" But, she continued, "You get attached to this child and you're basically at [the agency's] mercy at this point. You believe these children are abandoned, orphaned, and you're willing to do whatever or you'll lose this child and they'll live there forever."
In the weeks that passed, while the children were said to be on the road, Hawkins and the other families grew close, comparing stories of what they'd been told. Some parents heard that nannies working at BFAS were in fact the mothers of some children being relinquished for adoption. In emails Wodajo sent to prospective clients, she wrote that they might be able to adopt infants as young as two months old because they were working with pregnant girls. But as rumors spread that their adoptions would be terminated or libel lawsuits filed if they pushed too hard, a hush fell over the group.
When Hawkins was finally called to Ethiopia to finalize her adoption, the BFAS staff there reassured her that her daughter had indeed been abandoned. But after the girl came to the United States she began acting out, behaving violently toward a set of baby dolls she had gotten for Christmas and systematically shattering glasses she found in the kitchen. A few months later, when she had learned some English, the daughter pointed to a picture of the orphanage that Hawkins had taped to her bedroom wall and told her, "When I lived there, I missed my mom."
Hawkins responded, "'Honey, that's nice of you, but you didn't know me then.' And then she kind of looks at me like she's afraid she was going to be in trouble, and you could see her really choosing her words with the little bit of English she had. And she said, 'You know, I have another mom.'"
"I can't even begin to put into words what that feels like," Hawkins told me. "Finding out that you have someone else's child simply because you happen to have been born in a country where you're more privileged than they are? You want to throw up, you don't know what to do."
When Hawkins called BFAS to present this information, she reached Agitu Wodajo directly. Despite the many reassurances Hawkins had received in the past that the girl was abandoned, she said Wodajo replied without hesitation that yes, she had met the girl's mother herself.
Hawkins hired several searchers—private investigators who have found steady work helping adoptive parents research the circumstances of their child's adoption—to try to find the mother, and even tried bribing BFAS nannies, but there wasn't enough to go on. As more information about how BFAS operated came to light, Hawkins had difficulty absorbing it all. The first time she read the word "trafficking" in relation to the agency, which was stripped of its Ethiopian registration in late 2010, she had to sit down. "When my daughter cries herself to sleep that she misses her birth mother, having given birth before, I know that there's someone else on the other side of the world doing the same thing. And I have her daughter. I love my daughter, and selfishly, I want to keep her forever. I want there to be this great story behind it about a child who needed a home and got one. But a lot of times I feel like we've done something wrong."
Hawkins and the other families were far from the only ones who experienced the ugly side of Ethiopian adoptions. Adoptive parents in the U.S. began to complain that when their children learned enough English to communicate, they talked about having other families; birth parents declared dead on adoption paperwork were sometimes alive; additional siblings might exist; children said to have been conceived from stranger rapes were in fact born to married couples. On some adoptees' paperwork birth parents were simultaneously declared dead and unknown—a logical gap that could go unchallenged as paperwork wound its way through Ethiopia's elaborate adoption bureaucracy.
Further, mothers in Ethiopia began coming to orphanages or government offices with questions and complaints about how adoption had been represented to them. Adoptive parents shared stories in online forums about visiting remote villages and being greeted by Ethiopian families desperate to get word about how their children were doing. It was a demonstration of one of the most significant problems with the adoption boom in Ethiopia: that the American understanding of adoption is not universal, and did not align with Ethiopia's tradition of the concept, where parents may send children to wealthier relatives or guardians for better opportunities, but never sever parental ties.
In videos that agencies supplied to prospective adoptive parents, Ethiopian mothers were filmed proudly handing over children they had raised nearly to adolescence, smiling at the camera in a way that suggested they didn't know what they were agreeing to. One prospective adoptive mother received such a video from her adoption agency, and when she hired a translator to interpret the Amharic conversation the agency had with the mothers of two unrelated children she wanted to adopt, the translator implored the woman not to proceed. "She said 'Please, I beg you, do not go forward with this adoption. The mothers do not understand anything.'"
When adoptive families sought more information about how their children had been relinquished, and sometimes found stories that contradicted what their agencies had told them, they were devastated. "It feels terrible," one adoptive mother told me. "Like you stepped on something solid and it turned to quicksand." Another explained, "When you go to adopt, the last thing you imagine is going into some developing country and stealing someone's child."
Bit by bit the stories added up to a compelling body of evidence, and American officials started to look more closely at Ethiopian adoptions. In March 2010 the U.S. State Department, the body that investigates whether or not children are actually eligible for adoption as orphans, announced through its embassy in Addis Ababa that it was placing extra reviews on some adoptions. The embassy had been looking for patterns in the cases that came across their desks: the same social workers or police officers "finding" abandoned children in case after case, or multiple children from a single agency with similar background stories. It was the only tactic the State Department had at their disposal to counter potential corruption. The next month brought word that Ethiopia's government was closing nine orphanages for providing inadequate child care and sending too many children for adoption. By the end of the year Ethiopia announced plans to shutter nearly 50 orphanages.
Also at the end of the year came news that the government had revoked the accreditation of Better Future Adoption Services, accusing it of child trafficking. Several months earlier, an Ethiopian newspaper called Sendek published an interview with a friend of the editor: BFAS's former deputy country director, Abebe Tigabu. Tigabu had recently been let go from BFAS, and he denounced the agency in Sendek, accusing Wodajo of participating in numerous unethical adoption practices.
Tigabu, an attorney, elaborated to me that he had started working for BFAS after he advised them on getting charges dropped in the Shashemene case. He claimed he had helped get charges dismissed by offering bribes of laptops and cash to those involved in the cases's prosecution. All of the Shashemene children, like Hawkins's daughter, went on to be adopted to the United States, and Tigabu claims that Wodajo was so pleased with this result that she offered him a fulltime job. As country director, Tigabu claims, he witnessed children's records changed so that they were adopted under false last names, thereby destroying their ability to track their heritage later. Further, he said female employees of the agency were heavily pressured to give their own children up for adoption—children who were later declared "abandoned."
Children who had parents, he claimed, were recruited with promises that adoptive parents would give the birth families gifts or payments "and change your life even" if they formally relinquished custody in court. When that didn't work, he claimed, the children's paperwork was changed to allege they had been abandoned at an orphanage in another town. In that way, he said, "the adoption process is finalized in an easy way. There is no need for the family to appear at the court. They say . . . the parents are dead or that they abandoned the child and left the area."
After the Sendek accusations came out, Wodajo promptly responded by denouncing Tigabu as a disgruntled former employee who was retaliating for having been fired for embezzlement. She denied the trafficking allegations and pointed to the victorious court verdict regarding the Shashemene trial. "Because of our Faith, ethical and professional background," a BFAS statement read, "we had and will never ever be engaged in exploitation or use of children for exploitation under any circumstances."
In December 2010 Ethiopia's Charities and Societies Agency revoked Better Future's license, citing involvement in child trafficking and falsifying documents. A printed notice was posted outside the CSA offices in downtown Addis Ababa, reading that BFAS had been closed and its property confiscated.
In a contentious phone interview in 2012, Wodajo expanded on her defense to me, arguing simply, "What happened was we hired the wrong person" and claiming that Tigabu had coached birth parents to lie to the government to get back at BFAS for being fired. She denied that BFAS had ever taken in pregnant women to relinquish their newborns and argued that when things had gone wrong on her watch, it was because she had been out of the country. But she fell mute when I asked whether that meant other agency employees, like Tigabu, had processed an unethical adoption.
"Nobody pressured nobody," she said. "You know that there are over four million orphans in Ethiopia? You don't need to go any wrong way to get a child." She paused, then continued. "I know it is not a clean business. I know that very well."

Fake Hate
Revision as of 08:01, 31 August 2019 by Ari (talk | contribs)
None of this is to diminish that there still is real hate in America. But it is rare, and often directed at the right, while here's a few dozen (hundreds) of examples of Faked hate for political gain. Fake Hate still feels like hate. The reason FakeHate happens is partly to incite violence and convince others on the left that anything they do back, is justified, because "they did it first" (even when they didn't). In order to instigate change ("progress") you have to convince people that things are so bad, that they need violence, revolution or change, so the left has always been more willing to go there. And the media has been willing to suppress the side of stories they don't like. The WSJ published a study that fully 66% (2/3rds) of "Hate Crimes" turn out to be faked, and only 1/3rd are real. That surge in hate crimes after Trump's election was more by the left than the right. If anything in here is News to you, then the News hasn't been doing its job.
1 Why it happens
2 What changed?
2.1 Fake Hate
2.2 Nothing new
We know that there are many FakeHate reports... possibly more than real ones. The question is why? The answers are pretty easy:
If you tell people something long enough, they'll believe it. The left believes that hate exists everywhere and America is a bad country. So when they look for it, and can't find it IRL (and they just know it is true), they just make it up to draw attention to the very real problem that they know exists. People don't give up their fantasies just because reality is in the way.
In that way we are victims of our success, as we made real racism/bigotry harder and harder to find, the left had to lower the standards to include micro-aggressions or presumed guilt (White/Male Guilt, etc) or invent cultural appropriation (appreciating and adopting other cultures clothes, food, dance as some moral wrong), so they could still find the injustices that they craved. Then the next logical step is to show that it's still real... by creating it.
You get what you incentivize -- and the virtue signaling left rewards victimhood. So you're naturally going to get people fighting to be on the victims, so that they can achieve the rewards: fame, sympathy, attention and often money. There are hundreds of examples of this on the left (and a handful on the right), but the left will desperately try to draw your attention somewhere else when you point that out.
Is it any wonder that the young and gullible line up to be victims? And if they can't find abusers, they'll imagine them in things that aren't abuse or just make them up, so they can reap the rewards from being victims of the imaginary enemies that the Democrats have scared them about?
🗒 NOTE:
While I'm 100% sure there are asshats on both sides of the aisle, if we let one side get away with rewriting atrocities (or reward it) more, we will get more of it. The mainstream media is so strongly in one camp, that they're jumping to conclusions about the right, ignoring evidence or downplaying acts by the left, thus they raise the rewards for leftist violence by increasing the odds that: (a) they won't be blamed (b) if they are, it won't get as much airtime/consequences in the media (c) that the lefts false-flag efforts stand a higher chance of success.
One thing is clear, the number and degree of hateful acts that are reported (both real and faked) spiked up starting when our black agitator and community-organizer-in-chief (Obama) took power, and he and the media were rewarding victimhood with fame, adoration and money. Community Organizers get money/power by creating (or magnifying) problems, and polarizing (organizing) the community around them. If the problems aren't big enough, they create them. According to Gallup (and others), for the prior few decades, 60-70% of Whites and Blacks respectively thought race relations were pretty good and improving. Then in 2012-2013 it crashed to below half of blacks, where it has stayed ever since. Why? The Fake Trayvon Martin and George Zimmerman story first, then the Michael Brown hoax and creation of BLM, and the Victim Industrial Complex was spawned and magnified by the left (with our President always on the wrong side of the issue: instead of calming people down, was agitating instead). When it looked like many didn't want 4-more years of Obama in a pantsuit and whiteface (as they perceived Hillary), the left/media doubled down once Trump was elected. And if there wasn't evidence of their beliefs, they had to start making it up, and their rubes/reader/viewers believed it. [1]
But is it real (that there's a resurgence in white oppression, etc)? We aren't completely sure, but it seems not. Reason did a good article[2] using FBI and Bureau of Justice Study which shows that while there was far more reports of hate crimes, the truth is that's because we added more agencies to our tracking and gave them more exposure. The percent of agencies added was well ahead of the number of crimes that were added -- and most of all the total number of victims is flat or declining. What is growing astronomically is the number of fake claims that are later debunked. When the number of fake hate crimes is climbing, and the number of real victims is falling, then the problem might not be the hate, but those craving it to exist and seeing it everywhere.
The author of the book Outrage, Inc. [3] discussed in a Townhall article.[4], that once Trump was elected, the NYT started doing a weekly series called "This week in Hate"[5] to show the problem... but they had to stop it 6 months later when it did show the actual problems:
Most of the violence/bigotry happened in deep blue cities and states - not the areas Trump/Republicans carried. Like "This is MAGA country" in the gayest part of Chicago? If Trump is the problem, why are most of the problems in the most liberal areas of the most liberal states?
Most of events were getting debunked within a week or three of reporting them. NYT was painted into a corner: If they didn't report the corrections, they would rightly be called FakeNews for misinforming their readers (as was happening). But if they did, the corrections column was bigger than the new hate part of the column. "This Week in Corrections", with more FakeHate than real hate just doesn't show that Trump is the problem they wanted him to be.
They were also getting heat because they were ignoring a far common problem: much of the RealHate was getting directed at conservatives/Trump supporters, like prevalent violence because someone wore the other parties hat or shirt, or just went to a rally.
Since the NYT didn't want to become a news source that spent its time debunking the left's false hate claims and disinformation, and proving that the right had more valid complaints than the left did, they had to drop the series. Which they did. But the proof is in the examples below. Both real hate crimes against conservatives that you didn't know about, or all the fake hate crimes that leftists tried to pin on the right (and that the media didn't inform you on), tell a story. And if anything in there is a surprise to you, then the media hasn't been doing its job, unless you think it's job is to misinform for leftist causes.
Real Hate
This is a list of "Real Hate"... the rash of violence (>50 attacks) against conservatives or MAGA supporters that happened after the election that you may not have read or seen much about. This isn't just inciting violence, but committing it in order to encourage more of it (or to stifle the opposition). The point being that if this is news to you, and some of these are more horrific and newsworthy than lesser things that you have heard about, then that's evidence of FakeNews. That your information is being censored (filtered) and you're not getting a balanced view of reality. more...
Here's a list of violence or bad acts that were perpetuated by the left, and the media blamed on the right. As usual, most were front page stories, and back page retractions (if any corrections/retractions were made at all): FakeHate : 56 items
Vaccine Hesitancy - Vaccine hesitancy is a problem caused by the media.
Donald Trump - A list of articles on Trump, his scandals (real and imagined). My goal isn't to cheerlead or slam, but I am anti-establishment and have the most interest in the parts of the story that the media/left has omitted, and giggle at cry-bullies getting their comeuppance. That's probably too much nuance for many, as anything but rabid attacks make many think I'm a Trump lover. While I wish he was a better behaved champion and didn't get in the mud with the pigs, but if he didn't, he'd be Mitt Romney and he'd likely lose. So they despise him for doing what they do back to them. I don't like either of them, but I like the one fighting for individuals more than the ones fighting to oppress them.
New Yorker attacks AG Barr -
The Democrats (and their medias) attack on Barr demonstrates (a) revenge for exposing the Russian Hoax (b) fear that his is about to expose Obama and the deep state operatives in the Press and on the left. So they are in panic mode and attacking the source, because they have nothing else. It's anti-American, anti-Justice and chickenshit -- but if you're scared of the truth getting out, then the only thing you have left is to attack the person telling the truth. And nothing scares the left like an Attorney General willing to do his job and speak truth to power.
Fake Race Crimes - The FakeHate grievance industry is so broad, that they are branching out, and have to have multiple divisions. Hey, you get what you incentivize. and the virtue signaling left rewards victimhood -- so people are lining up to join in. This is just the subset of FakeHate that is specifically about fake racial crimes.
Cassandra complex -
I seriously have a Cassandra complex (cursed with being right, and not being listened to). I felt like that a ton as a kid. Since as young as I can remember, it would hurt me that I could see things that were happening (or going to happen), that adults would ignore me on, and people would get hurt, because they couldn't listen to a kid.
Even my early work career had a bunch of it. I was the guy that would predict what would happen, try to sell people, they'd ignore me, after the 5th or 6th time I'd just change jobs. (No fun to watch train wrecks in slo-motion, over and over again). I'd have bosses call me up years later and tell me, "yeah, remember those things you said would happen: you were dead right on all of them". It used to bother me a ton. "Well, why couldn't you have listened to me then?" (It was often about product failures, or how a product/team would burn out, etc). So it hurt seeing people getting hurt.
One said, "if you know so much about Apple, why don't you write for MacWEEK". So I did. He called me up after I had my column and said my insights were much more insightful now that I didn't work there, and he was reading it in print. [sigh]
It hasn't really stopped, I've just gotten more accepting of it. It used to profoundly bug me and make me shut off from humanity. (Caring hurt). And I'd respond to people that wouldn't listen with arrogance. Now it's more apathetic perspective. I just explain what I think will happen, but if it's their ass on the line, it's their decision and not my problem. (And I can let it go). I'll try to persuade them, but it's their choice, and I'm cool with that. And if it comes to pass as I predicted (which is often), there's no reason to gloat, or rage at the machine. They made the best decision they were capable of at the time. No reason to beat them, or beat myself up for it.
2020.06.25 Isaih Martin - Isaih Martin (BLM activist) claimed in a viral tweet that racist messages were left on his car. Video shows he placed them there himself. He is now refusing to cooperate w/police, Texas A&M and the cops are not pressing charges or punishing the bad behavior. When the demand for racism exceeds the supply, left wing activists will fill in the gaps themselves. Which proves their imagination of the problem exceeds the reality of it, or they wouldn't have to fake it.
2020.06.21 Bubba Wallace and the Noose - Wallace's team got hysterical and assumed racism because there was a "noose" in his Garage stall at Talladega Superspeedway, and he's black, so racism... it must be a bigot/hate crime. CNN especially, but other FakeNews outlets did double time on sensationalizing this... only the noose was there for months, and it was just a garage door pull, and was obviously not targeting him, since they had no idea who would have that garage. Then he went on to CNN and elsewhere to claim, "it was a noose" and double-down on dumb.
2020.05.11 Rashawn Smith -
The Georgia (GBI) arrested and charged Rashawn Smith (20) for making terrorist threats. This guy (black) was behind a hoax Facebook account pretending to be a racist white Trump supporter who promised to kill pro-Ahmaud Abery protesters in a mass shooting.
2020.03.04 Racist Graffiti in Mississippi - A black man (Trumaine Foster) in a Mississippi suburb of Memphis had his vehicles spray-painted with racist slurs ("Leave nigger" and "Trump"). Foster has since been arrested for the hoax, insurance fraud, and tampering with evidence. (He has a body/paint shop, and likely did it for the money/publicity).
2020.02.26 Racist Graffiti in Philly - Earlier this month, racist slurs like the n-word were sprayed on a mural honoring black civil rights activist Cecil B. Moore.... and the cops released the video/pictures a couple weeks after the drama over the racism, and it was a black guy that did it.
2019.11.24 Jennifer Agostini racist attack - There were allegations that Jennifer Agostini and swimsuit model Prendinellys Garcia were allegedly attacked by a group of about 10–15 black women for being white, with racial comments during the beatdown including: "white motherfuckers" and "dirty white bitches". The Manhattan bar (Sky Room) where the fight broke out, released footage of the attack in question earlier this week, and took to mocking the Women as not being real professionals, and for making what they claimed were fake allegations.
2019.09.20 Forced Hair Cutting - A 6th Grade Virginia Private school girl (who was black) accused three white classmates last week of forcibly cutting her hair... and that made national news. The FakeNews used it repeat their fabrications about national race problems or worse, coupled it to Jeff Pence (VP) and his wife. Racism is everywhere! Now the accuser admits the allegations were false. The problem isn't just with the people who cry wolf, it's with the media that sensationalizes these FakeNews stories for clicks (chasing the algorithm before fact checking).Some are more responsible with corrections than others, but corrections wouldn't be necessary if we had responsible journalism waiting to get the facts, instead of sensationalizing every accusation with national front page headlines, and back page retraction.
2019.07.19 Erica Thomas (D) -
To play off of anti-Trumpism, Georgia Democrat and State Rep (Erica Thomas) claimed in a sobbing twitter post, that at a Publix Grocery store, a "white man" called her a "lazy son of a bitch" and told her to "go back to where she came from" and that "People are getting really out of control with this white privilege stuff." Then to her surprise, Eric Sparkes, the accused man who is an anti-Trump, far-left, AOC supporting Cuban (not white), stepped forward and called bullshit. He explained that she had 20 items in the express lane limited for 10 (and there were two other lanes open). He complained to the store associates, but they told him to tell her... so he did so politely. When he did that, witnesses and store videos seen to corroborate that SHE got in his face and got confrontational and then SHE told HIM to "go back where he came from", repeatedly... and then he called her a "lazy bitch" for holding everyone else up and making a scene. But Eric never told Erica to "go back to where you came from" and she was lying/grandstanding. If racism is such a big problem in America, why does the left keep getting caught making up examples of it? FakeFactCheck outlet Snopes misleads their readers on what happened, by not fact checking the claim that Erica Thomas made, but by fact checking satire site Babylon Bee's post that claimed it happened at a Chick-fil-a, and then leaving out a ton of context that would make her look bad from their explanation. So they did correctly say that the Bee story was false, but only readers far more cautious than 99% of Democrats would notice that bait-and-switch, and any that read the omitted context snopes version of events wouldn't know about a bunch of evidence that makes Erica and the Democrats/media look bad.
2019.06.26 Hate Crime Hoaxes - The Wall Street Journal posted an article that explained Hate Crime Hoaxes are more common that one thinks (only about 33% of claims were real). I wasn't surprised as I documented dozens @FakeHate, and real hate crimes that are not tracked/recorded because they happened against conservatives @RealHate. There's also a well know site tracking them ( http://www.fakehatecrimes.org/ ). But the average person might not know of those. Facebook blocked the article (and theFakeHateCrimes site) as being against Facebooks community standards, which doesn't allow for truths that the left doesn't want to hear. It may or may not be caught as "a mistake", meaning their censorious algorithm trying to eliminate anti-PC thought, is a wee bit too aggressive. But that's like saying that a little oppression is OK.
2019.06.24 Noose found at U of M - ZOMG, ZOMG, a noose was found at University of Michigan employee's desk at a university hospital. Big news on the investigation. A few weeks later, it turns out that there was no racist intent: an employee was practicing tying a "Uni Knot" (used for fishing) on a spool that was returned to storage with the knot still in place. Front page histrionics, back page retraction.
2019.05.26 Fake Gay Bashing - Man claims he was the victim of Anti-Gay Hate-crime on a Tribeca subway, when two guys threw anti-gay slurs (and fisticuffs) at him. According to witnesses, the drunk gay "victim" was the aggressor and spat on and assaulted the other two, who never issued gay slurs that anyone else heard.
2019.02.07 Darnell Byrd McPherson (Mayor) - The black mayor of a small South Carolina town had reported a hate crime of yellow sticky substance sprayed all over her car, and likened it to burning crosses, she was fearless and would not be deterred, and repeated the questionable trope of increase in hate crimes in the state. A month later, it came out that it was just pollen, and she (being Democrat) reflexively assumed the worst and sees evil where there is just her own incompetence.
2019.01.29 Jussie Smollett - 💩 Jussie (star on show TV show "Empire") was allegedly attacked in Chicago, in what was initially being investigated as a hate crime. The first report was 2 men in ski masks making racial and homophobic slurs, assaulted him, poured bleach on him, and put a noose around his neck -- then stopped the attack for no reason. (Claims of them saying "this is MAGA country" were added later). Those with any skepticism wondered things like (a) what are white Trump supporters doing in sub-zero Chicago gay neighborhood ambushing a guy they seemed to know (b) then stopping for no reason (c) Why wouldn't Jussie share his phone records, drop his sandwich bag during the assault, or take off the noose off after going home and waiting more than 20 minutes to call the cops? The haters accused the skeptics of being racist for asking obvious questions -- but the story is falling apart, as is seems that Jussie staged the whole thing because he was going to be cut out of his TV show, and wanted to make it harder to fire him (the pity and famous name scam).
2019.01.20 Covington Catholic High School - 💩The New York Times published an article "Boys in 'Make America Great Again' Hats Mob Native American Elder at Indigenous People's March," and many other outlets (CNN, WaPo, etc), piled on without verifying. OrangeMan is so bad, that just wearing his hat makes you a racist. Only, the details leaked out that it was the Catholic teens minding their own business (on a class trip) when the Native American demonstrator/activist (Nathan Phillips: not a Vietnam War Veteran as WaPo and other claimed) marched up, beat drums, push into center of student group, call teens names, and then accused the kids of surrounding him and saying racist things, all false.
2018.12.30 White Man shot black girl in Houston - Lady says white man pulled up next to them and shot her girl (Jazmine Barnes) for racial reasons. Race-baiter Shaun King played up the race crime and inflamed his mob tweeting white suspects picture (Robert Cantrell), to find this "racist asshole". After two black men were arrested for the murder, Shaun didn't apologize and argued, "We live in a time where... something like that [racist murder] was possible." We do, but black on white race crimes are like 5x more common than the other way around.
2018.11.30 Fynn Ajani Arthur - Baltimore County police arrested and charged Fynn Ajani Arthur with two counts of malicious destruction of property in putting up racist graffiti incidents at Goucher College, and included himself in the list of threatened students.
2018.11.28 Drake student faked racist letters - Drake University Indian student (Kissie Ram) accused of writing fake racially charged letters that were slipped under dormitory room doors (including her own).
2018.11.26 Black man painted Swastikas - Churches and other buildings tagged with NeoNazi symbols in Antioch, California, was a hoax by Lawrence Phipps (24)
2018.11.24 Nooses in Mississippi capital were Democrats - There was an uproar (AP and twitter) about a warning from white supremacist leaving 7 nooses... 12 hours later it came out that signs with the nooses, admitted Democrats were warning against electing Mississippi Republican Senate candidate Cindy Hyde-Smith (jn a run-off election).
2018.11.14 Heil Hitler and Nazi Salute during Fiddler on the Roof - Baltimore, Maryland play was disrupted by a drunk democrat anti-Trump activist. Before that last bit of info was released, there was a lot of hand-waving about "Trump".
2018.11.14 Black student graffiti'd N-word, Swastika on his own dorm - Fynn Arthur, lacrosse player at Goucher College, did it (and sent death threats) because "he had pent up anger". He may have also done it in another event back in March 2017.
2018.11.10 Kansas State Student posted racist note to self - The student's name was withheld, but confessed to the hoax.
2018.07.06 MAVNI Military Recruits - 💩 The AP ran a grotesquely distorted story and headline, "US Army quietly discharging immigrant recruits" and it was a poorly written article about how 40-500 immigrant enlisted had been let go, but it leaves all sort of implications that the Trump administration is persecuting minorities in the military. And of course the left was outraged and triggered (as always) and it was re-printed, re-linked, or a couple dozen OpEds came out, each more extreme than that last, about how this racist persecution of immigrants was hunting down good troops and throwing them out because Trump is a Nazi. Of course the truth is quite different, Trump reversed the Obama era program, and virtually none has retracted or corrected the Big Lie.
2018.05.24 Texas Trooper accused of rape - Sherita Dixon-Cole (Black) accused State Trooper Daniel Hubbard (White) of raping her during a traffic stop. Shaun King kicked fanned the flames of racial animus, but the officers body cams showed that no rape had happened. Harvard's Fair Punishment Project gave King a staff position for spreading the lie, and writing a piece that didn't really apologized, but blamed the racist nation (or Sherita) for the plausibility of it happening, and thus his mistake was not really his fault.
2018.05.01 Nicolette Nottage - An architecture student (Nicolette Nottage) at the University of Arkansas (UA), told police she was receiving threatening Facebook messages like "leave this school or i will come to your apartment at varsity house and kill you with my own gun." She claimed they came from her former friend and fellow student, Emily Hunt, so the police arrested Hunt -- only later to find out that it was Nicolette that setup the fake account and was sending the hate messages/posts to herself to frame Hunt.
2018.04.13 NAACP President a liar - 💩NAACP President Rev. Jerrod Moultrie posted to Facebook about how he was just racially profiled on a traffic stop. Not only is that argument stupid (you often can't tell the race of someone in a car at night before you pull them over), but it turned out to be false. The fact that the NAACP doesn't fire him, shows that they like having race baiters represent them, or at least honesty/credibility on race, is not a prerequisite for working there or representing them
2017.11.06 Racist Car Graffiti - Owner Dauntarius Williams of graffiti-covered car, found near Kansas State, apologizes and he admits he put the racist message on himself.
2017.08.10 Nikki Joly (Gay Activist) - A fire destroyed a two-story home, injured a firefighter, and killed Nikki's 2 German Shepards and 3 cats. Joly used that "hate crime" and transgender status to help drive his creation of the Jackson Pride Center (which he became director of it)... and the community raised $40,000 to help the couple with the loss of the house... and Nikki won Citizen of the Year (2018). Now it comes out that the fire was lit by Nikki the pet killer. A fake hate crime likely done to gain the status, money and attention that victimhood brings.
2017.03 Over 2,000 Bomb Threats - In the first few months of 2017, many Jewish centers in the U.S. (UK, Oz, NZ, and Norway) were receiving Bomb threats and far left organizations like the ADL and various media outlets said it was like the work of "right wing Christians in the United States", or on CNN Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D) said, "Donald Trump Supporters". Remember, each event was counted as an individual hate crime according to the Fear-Industrial-Complex. Finally, in March a 19-year-old Jewish Israeli-American named Michael Ron David Kadar was arrested. He had been perpetrating many of them because he was rejected from the Israeli Defense Forces over mental health issues and a brain tumor. And Juan M. Thompson (a former journalist for The Intercept) was also arrested for many more: he was trying frame a woman he'd dated.
2016.12.21 Kicked off Delta for speaking Arabic - Adam Saleh (known hoaxer) claimed he got kicked out of a Delta flight because he spoke Arabic to his mom. Media outlets ran with Saleh's story without checking the source. They were really kicked off for yelling back and forth after being asked to be quiet, and not following directions, and then they started filming claiming they were victims.
2016.12.12 Denton Texas man sets his own cars on fire - David Williams set his own cars and motorcycle on fire and painted 'nigger lovers' across their garage door, and setup a go fund me page (where he got more than $5,000 donations). Later revealed that he dd it, went to a mental facility (aka a DNC convention) and promised to return all the money raised.
2016.12.05 Build the wall - The SPLC hate map and the increase in the number of hate crimes after Tump? Whenever someone said, "build the wall", it was counted as a "hate" incident in their report. 467 times. A simple disagreement on immigration policy is the same as "hate".
2016.12.03 Whites assault Muslim in NYC - Poor 18yo Baruch College Student Yasmin Seweid, 3 white Trump supporters screamed "terrorist go home!" and tore her Hijab off, while onlookers ignored it... according to all the news outlets. Then it comes out she made the whole thing up, and virtually none corrected or retracted the story, or reported the story of the hundreds of FakeHate crimes that happened.
2016.11.15 Woman accuses Trump supporter of scratching her face - Halley Bass (University of Michigan Student) later confessed that she'd done it to herself, and the story of a man attacked her, slashing her face with with a safety pin, was made up.
2016.11.14 Fake Homophobic note at Chicago's North Park University - Taylor Volk, a bisexual senior, claimed she was the recipient of a homophobic note and anonymous hate emails by Trump supporters. After NBC had sensationalized it, it came out that Taylor had faked it herself.
2016.11.13 Indiana Church Grafitti - David's Episcopal Church in Bean Blossom (40 miles out of Indianapolis) had "Fag Church", "Swastika" and "Heil Trump" spray painted on it (the church recognizes Gay Marriage). It later came out that George "Nathan" Stang is a gay man that did it to get attention in a False Flag effort. CNN and USAToday sensationalized the story, and USAToday tried to correct the record.
2016.11.11 Oberlin v Gibson Bakery - Three underage black Oberlin students were shoplifting wine at Gibson's bakery, and got caught. So they assaulted, beat down, and kicked the owner. An arrest followed, and the three were able to plead guilty to misdemeanors and get probation without any fines and a short probationary period. Black racist activist students, encouraged by activist faculty, claimed since it was a white shop owner and African-American students that it must have been racial profiling (ignore the crimes). Protests ensued with the aggitation of Oberlin College administrators and professors during the week of Trumps election. The FakeNews outlets used this as evidence of racism running rampant since Trump's election. The Bakery was furious at the damage done to their reputation and sued for economic and reputation loss from the protests, then graciously offered to withdraw it if the University just apologized and issuing a letter to students reiterating Gibsons weren't racists. The University refused and lost $11M in damages. Then the college wrote an offensive letter attacking the jury for the verdict, and cried poor despite $1B endowment, and lost an additional $22M in punitive damages (and legal fees on top). The cops confirmed that of the 40 shoplifting cases at the store (reported to law enforcement), only 6 were black patrons (not racial profiling).
2016.11.11 Louisiana Muslim claimed robbed by whites - A Muslim woman faces criminal charges in Louisiana over a fake story about how she was attacked by MAGA hat wearing white men, who yelled racial slurs and stole both her wallet and her hijab. The FakeNews widely reported this, and rarely corrected the record.
2016.11.01 Greenville, Mississippi black church fire - Right before the election, a Greenville, Mississippi church (Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church) was set on fire and spray painted with the words "Vote Trump", by Andrew McClinton. Of course all the leftist FakeNews outlets (Atlantic, NYT, CNN, SPLC) ran sensational headlines about how bad Trump and his white supremacist supporters were to foster such hate. Only it came out later that it was done by one of the churches black congregants, who hated Trump and it was a false flag effort. Many quietly updated their story, or ran a retraction a month after the damage had been done. SPLC left it on their hate map to mislead the public about how bad the problem is.
2016.09 Repeated racist vandalism at Eastern Michigan University - Starting in Sept 2016 Eddie Curlin, an African-American former student, had multiple incidents of spray painting "KKK" or "Leave Niggers" on various buildings and bathrooms. While many outlets connected the imaginary racism to Trump at the time, at least a few (like WaPo) did correct the record when he was caught and convicted a year later... after the perception damage was already cemented in. And Curlin got 2-5 years for other crimes (receiving stolen goods).
2016.08.09 Lesbian Central Michigan University Professor beats herself up - While attending a Toby Keith concert Mari Poindexter claims a man called her a "cross-dressing fag", then ambushed her in the parking lot. CMU and the media rallied around her. Later it was exposed she punched herself in the eye, and made up the story to "raise awareness".
2016.07.06 Racist text messages to middle schooler was fake - A 6th grader at Ottoson Middle School (Arlington, Massachusetts) had the community in a fervor over racist texts. Nevermind, once Police looked into it, they had falsified the story.
2016.04.30 Uof Iowa Student makes up hate crime - Black kid (Marcus Owens) picks a fight, loses it, claims he was jumped by 3 white guys screaming racial slurs. The student body and activists are outraged: yawn. Video shows that he went to a bar, started multiple fights, and made up the hate crime to cover for his injuries. He later apologizes, activists don't. Police file no charges.
2016.04.14 Gay Pastor sues Whole Foods over gay slur cake - Openly gay Texas pastor (Jordan Brown) claimed a cake he bought said, "Fag". The media ran with it. Whole Foods released security video that showed it didn't when it left the store, and counter-sued. Brown apologized. The media didn't.
2016.04.10 Salisbury Hate Hoax - Two black students drew a stick figure hanging from a noose featuring the word "Nigger!", then tweeted it with the hashtag #WhitePower. It caused a campus uproar... and then it was exposed who did it. Poof. Gone. No charges filed.
2016.02.04 University of Albany Race Hoax - Two black female college students (Ariel Agudio and Asha Burwell), and a Latina (Alexis Briggs) were BLM supporters, claimed to be victims of an assault by a group of whites. They made it up after assaulting a white woman first. The girls were convicted, fined, suspended, made to do community service, and put on probation. Hillary had tweeted about it, CNN covered it, never issued apology.
2015.11.26 Trump and Disabled Reporter - 💩 WaPo "fact checked" Trump on a claim about arabs in NJ celebrating after 9/11, and claimed it was false. (That was FakeNews too). The reporter that did the fact check had written an article detailing the celebrations back in 2001. Trump mocked WaPo stammering trying to walk back their lie and used a common gesture of his: flailing arms that he'd used many times before to animate being flustered. Instead of apologizing and correcting their error, WaPo, CNN and other FakeNews outlets still-shotted the video of his hand position (with his wrist bent) and claimed he was mocking the reporters disability. The reporter did have a bent wrist, but not a flailing problem. They claimed because Trump might have met the guy, 30 years earlier in one of hundreds of interviews he'd done with the financial Press, that he knowingly mocked him. They ran that as their story for weeks, instead of the retraction/correction that they owed Trump, and they omitted all the key context, so their gullible readers/viewers still believe to this day the FakeNews version, and none seem to remember what actually happened and why.
2015.11 Death and bomb threats to black students and professors at Kean - In Nov 2015 Kean graduate and race activist Kayla-Simone McKelvey tweeted death threats to many black students and staff, in order create enthusiasm for a campus rally on racial issues that she was organizing. She got 90 days + 5 years probation and $82,000 in restitution (security costs), instead.
2014.11.19 UVA Rape on Campus -
💩 Rolling Stone magazine published "A Rape on Campus" that describes a purported gang rape of Jackie Coakley by 7 frat brothers (Phi Kappa Psi) at the University of Virginia (UVA) in Charlottesville, Virginia, as part of an initiation rite. This fed a false "Campus Rape" lynch-mob that suspended the fraternity, vandalized their FratHouse, started marches against them (and all men, especially fraternities), and impugned the character of many innocents: who sued and won. A few piled on (HuffPo), but a few other outlets were mixed or skeptical, and later broke stories putting her version of events in doubt. Rolling Stone apologized (5 months later) and retracted the story in its entirety on April 5, 2015, long after the harm had been done. They were sued, and settled.
2012.07.19 Masterpiece Cakeshop - Jack Phillips was approached by a gay couple that asked him to bake them a wedding cake. He politely explained that Colorado didn't recognize gay marriage (yet), and due to his religion, he wouldn't use his tradecraft to do custom work for an issue that violated his personal beliefs (he said he wouldn't bake a cake that would slur the LGBT community either), but he'd happily serve them and they could buy anything else in the store (he'd even make them birthday cakes or for any other occasion). The gay activists, which had easy access to dozens of other stores flipped him off, yelled, "Fuck You and your homophobic cake shop", and put the information on social media and sicked the Gay-Mafia (nasty activists) on Jack and the shop, who harassed him and polarized the issue (Real Hate). The media misrepresented the story (FakeNews). The accusations against Jack were disproven (Fake Hate). The Colorado Civil rights commission violated Jack's civil rights by siding with the LGBT-Fascists, and was later slapped down by the Supreme Court. So the gay-activists sued/attacked/harassed Jack again... and lost again (Real Hate). They don't seem to care that Christians have civil rights too.
2006 Duke Lacrosse case - 💩Three men at Duke University (on the lacrosse team) were falsely accused of rape, while the media led Lynch-mob called for their heads (and claimed it was part of a systemic campus rape problem), the school suspended them and cancelled the season. It later turned out that the stripper/escort (Crystal Gail Mangum) had made the whole thing up.
Nothing new
Before anyone claims this is new, or only happening because OrangeMan=Bad!, this is the same techniques/claims the Democrats did to the Tea Party, or they did to Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Richard Nixon, and now Donal Trump. When you can't argue the facts, call them racists! So same technique, just the election is different... and volume is ratcheted up as the medias quality control and presence of fairness has dropped down. Others might claim, "but this happened in 2009 (to Obama) as well". Sorta but not really. Republicans aren't saints. Conservatives aren't as much angry college kids, agitators, or layabouts, so they don't seem to have time for this crap. While there certainly were a few small isolated incidents in the past, according to the discredited SPLC (an organization that exists to scare gullible old white liberals into thinking Hitler youth is about to take over the country).[6] We have many more examples of violence against conservatives, and hundreds of front page claims of swastika's and the like, and back page retractions when the violence turns out to be false-flag efforts, or the assaults turn out to be lies, done by far left activists seeking pity or fame for their virtue signaling acts of violence.
This is just the tip of the iceberg:
AttacksOnTrumpSupporters.com has 201 Fake Hate events, and 320 attacks on Trump supporters.
FakeHateMap.com has over 600 events of Fake hate.
FakeHateCrimes.org goes down a lot (here is an archive), but it has a few hundred as well.
That's not counting all the Real Hate against Trump supporters that the media is downplaying, or the hundreds of lies the media has told... and may or may not have corrected later. (Some hate is anger/retaliation at the lies. If you scream racist at someone long enough, they might hit back). So I'm just highlighting a small percentage of the bigger problem.
If any of these stories are news to you (either Real Hate against the right, or Fake Hate perpetuated by the left), it shows what a failure the media in telling you the whole story. I'll let the reader decide whether that is incompetence (accident) or malice (intent).
Rationalizing bad things, and trying to pin your crimes on the other side is as old as politics, and certainly the Republicans/conservatives have done it as well. But by nature of youth, Unions, low-education, disenfranchised and the media all favoring the left, from making excuses for the Indian Genocides, for racial lynching and the KKK, or interning the Japanese/Germans/Italians during WWII, 60's and 70's radicals, Antifa, BLM, the Unabomber, or democrats paying thugs to beat up Trump supporters at Trump rally's, and so on, the left has always been more willing to go there.
The left will try to deny this matters, because virtue signaling is more important to them than the truth or stopping the rash of fake victims making shit up for attention. However, the point isn't "democrats are worse than republicans", if you know history, you know that's true: mostly because dems appealed more to youth, disenfranchised and labor/left, which all have more histories of violence. But that's irrelevant to the bigger point which is that we either keep agitating and escalating, and foment anger on both sides, or we work to hold people accountable for it in order to create consequences for doing it, and tamp it down. (Raise the costs, and reduce the rewards). Because if you work hard enough to create a double-standard, we might foment a violent insurrection and make us permanently divides us until we destroy ourselves like happened to many other countries.

This is a list of "Real Hate"... the rash of violence (>50 attacks) against conservatives or MAGA supporters that happened after the election that you may not have read or seen much about. This isn't just inciting violence, but committing it in order to encourage more of it (or to stifle the opposition). The point being that if this is news to you, and some of these are more horrific and newsworthy than lesser things that you have heard about, then that's evidence of FakeNews. That your information is being censored (filtered) and you're not getting a balanced view of reality.

Low-speed electric vehicles on the fast track among seniors
Home > Uncategorized > Low-speed electric vehicles on the fast track among seniors
A growing trend in transportation for seniors is low-speed electric vehicles. Gary Search owns two golf carts. One for him to go golfing in and the other to take his wife out to dinner and shopping in, he says. After retiring to the Villages in Florida, Gary Search didn't have to search far for the right ride. They're all over. It's crawling with low-speed electric vehicles. Here, there are more carts than cars. For people who've never been here, it is quite the sight. "With over 60,000 golf carts in the Villages, it's a major form of transportation," said Search. "You have to register just like a car and you have to get insurance," Carroll explained.

Saber Talk
Beldorian The Hutt: The Only Hutt Jedi
Share Share on Facebook Opens in a new window. Tweet Tweet on Twitter Opens in a new window. Pin Pin on Pinterest Opens in a new window.
The Hutt Jedi…
Since we are 'Saber Hutt' I feel it is necessary to discuss the only Hutt who wields a lightsaber.
Force sensitive Hutt species are rarely seen in the Star Wars Cinematic Universe, but there is one that was known to be part of the Jedi order and learned the ways of the force. As you can imagine, he looks similar to Jabba the Hutt and carries a lightsaber… which in my mind, looks hilarious.
His name was Beldorian the Hutt, Jedi Knight. He was born in 400 BBY, and skillfully wields a purple lightsaber, similar to Mace Windu's saber in the Prequels. He famously engages in battle with Leia Organa many years after his birth. Hutts are known to live for a long time compared to the average human in the Star Wars world.
Check out our Replica Saber Collection for tons of options!
After becoming a Jedi Knight, he and a fellow Jedi Knight Taselda go on a mission to the outer rim as ordered by the Jedi Council, and both fall to the dark side. As Hutts are known to be evil characters in the Star Wars Universe, this makes a ton of sense.
Decades later in 13 ABY, Jedi Callista Ming arrives on Nam Chorios hoping to rediscover her connection to the Force. She is eventually captured. Meanwhile Leia Organa Solo, Chief of State of the New Republic, journeys to the planet on a separate diplomatic mission and is captured upon arrival. Luke Skywalker also travels to the planet in search of information regarding the disappearance of Ming. Leia later defeats Beldorian in a duel by slicing her lightsaber through his abdomen.

The Vl Doors are vertical stacking high speed doors specifically designed to help reduce air leakage. Manufactured from robust, tear resistant PVC, the door has a temperature resistance of -30°C to +70°C. Electric operation and state of the art safety features as standard. Recommended maximum width up to 9,000mm.
Air leakage in industrial premises is a costly expense and ensuring you have the correct doors in operation is critical to costs. The VL high speed door is a rapid operation door allowing access to the premises by the most efficient means due to limiting the time the door is held open. The hard wearing composite PVC provides a defence against thermal change from room to room or outside to inside of industrial premises.
Tested to -30°c to + 70°c and a thermal conductivity of 0.045w / M2Co.
The VL high speed door is commonly used in food premises, breweries, refrigeration and freezer rooms, transport premises, automotive manufacturers, conveyor belts, pharmaceuticals industry, paint rooms, waste sorting, car washes, hangers, warehouses, gantry and cranes.
The VL high speed door is a vertically stacking door suited to outdoor applications having to withstand high air streams and windy conditions, the adaptable design means it can be altered to many site requirements.
The PVC curtain is a robust compound that is resistant to tearing. Aluminium bars reinforce the curtain sections which are welded into the seams of the curtain to allow stacking and durability.
Resistance to tearing 70/55 daN. Resistance to breaking 420/400 DaN DIN 53354 – ISO 1421.
HAG std colours. RAL1018 Zink Yellow – RAL2004 Pure Orange – RAL3002 Carmine Red – RAL5010 Gentian Blue – RAL7038 Agate Grey.

Varying from M1 to M3 self extinguishing fire resistance.
The door frame is a reinforced self bearing galvanised steel frame that supports a steel shaft housing aluminum bearings and drums. The frame connects to the curtain through aluminium pulleys that roll traction belts and lifts the curtain. Inside the door frame guides, a ramp is incorporated to ensure centering of the curtain is maintained on every operation. All sides are protected by nylon brushes to avoid scratches on the canvas when running.
Single phase electric irreversible geared motor used in conjunction with a heavy duty electric brake and limit switches to allow quick and accurate stopping of the door. The power of the motor will vary dependent on the size and specification of the door. In the event of power loss there is a manual operation through either chain or hand crank. Control Panel with open/close/stop push buttons with a built in timer, can be linked to several control devices such as photocells, switches remotes etc.
An integrated self monitoring safety light grille in the closing zone to a maximum monitoring height of 2500mm is fitted as standard. This provides non contact safety within the closing zone and renders a safety edge redundent. Operation warning lights operated two seconds prior to opening or closing. An anti dragging photocell is positioned to detect obstruction between the traction belts and the panels.

Q: How to add a control created in Blend in a Visual Studio WinForms Project? I have created a textbox in Blend and wanted to add it to my Visual Studio WinForms Project. This is how it looks like:

I built and ran(??) the project created in Blend for Visual Studio so I obtained this:

My questions are:

*

*How do I add this textbox in my Visual Studio Project?

*How can I disable the "Multiline" option from the textbox directly from Blend (can I? when I write more characters than the textbox allow it goes on a new line. I want it to continue on the same line)

Le rythme alpha désigne un rythme cérébral, c'est-à-dire une oscillation électroencéphalographique (EEG) résultant de l'activité électrique du cerveau, dont la fréquence est comprise entre 7,5 et .

Le rythme alpha se manifeste lorsque la personne enregistrée éveillée ferme les yeux et se détend. De par leur grande amplitude, les ondes alpha furent les premiers signaux identifiés par l'inventeur de l'EEG, Hans Berger.

It appears though surprisingly that on average, in Mumbai, a squatter will be relocated at least twenty times in his lifetime. especially in Mumbai, this means that Each time, the squatter needs to move out with his family and all his belongings. In some cases, this relocation entails slum redevelopment; in others, it involves invoking violence through court orders and evicting residents in the interests of large corporations or large-scale development projects. The right to housing seems a distant privilege under the Indian constitution. This study discusses the ongoing sagas of tenancy rights in urban India. Case studies of urban settlements that have run into difficulties with Slum Rehabilitation Authorities (SRAs), particularly movements led by housing associations, their struggles, and impediments amidst some successful outcomes. Our findings reveal that more work is required by SRAs, and public and private partnerships in Mumbai to counterbalance the removals and demolitions. Methodologically, the study is set in the tradition of interpretivist social construction. The authors also present a reflective analysis of a social worker's role in the slums. The study argues that the poor will have a 'fair go' only when symptoms that prevent the poor in difficult social circum.

All children in year 3 are screened to ensure there are no specific literacy difficulties present using the 'LASS RAPID' software – this is a ten minute laptop programme that identifies any specific difficulty in literacy (specifically - phonological processing, auditory memory and visual-verbal association). Parental consent is obtained for this screening. The SENCO runs a workshop in school to demonstrate the laptop screening tool and discuss what results mean. We then use individual's results from the screening to ascertain if children may need further support or exploration of difficulties. We may often screen children earlier than the complete cohort if we feel they are showing signs of have difficulties with literacy.

Little Caesars posts note on door after finding homeless people eating from their dumpster
by: Henry Smith
If you spend a lot of time living in a town or big city, then you have probably come across your fair share of homeless people during your walks of life. Any one of us could be a botched paycheck and a stroke of bad luck away from being in that position, and I think that the least we can all do is give to the homeless when we can.
But even if you're doing the best you can, on the other side, it's not a great place to be in. There's plenty of struggle involved in being homeless, and very often, there's a real chance that the donations of strangers isn't enough to keep you healthy. Then, you've got to do the unthinkable, and dive deep into the dumpsters; buying salvation with the last remaining shred of your dignity.
A Little Caesars restaurant located in Fargo, North Dakota, was the site of one such instance of dumpster diving. General Manager at this branch of Little Caesars is Michelle Lussier, and she started to notice people picking up food from the dumpster. She didn't like it, so she decided to apply her own solution.
She started to offer fresh slices of pizza inside the store for absolutely nothing, realising that no matter how matted our hair or how dishevelled our general look is, we're all deserving of compassion, kindness and dignity. So, she put up a sign in the window to really hammer home her point.
"To the person going through our trash for their next meal, you're a human being and worth more than a meal from a dumpster. Please come in during operating hours for a couple slices of hot pizza and a cup of water at no charge. No questions asked."
An easy criticism of today's society is the idea of 'slacktivism': the idea that showing you care about an injustice or tragedy is more than enough, and that offering "thoughts and prayers" or social media posts is just as important as... you know, going out there and trying to make a difference.
Not to Lussier, who doubled down on her policy while speaking to Valley News Live. "Don't feel embarrassed if you're hungry and you don't want to do what others do, you know stand on the corner for handouts," she said. "You feel down about that, you're more than welcome to come here and grab a couple slices."
Valley News Live says that this particular Little Caesars also donates leftover pizza to the homeless and to local food pantries, not to mention donation boxes for homeless people in the area. It's not always easy to empathise with the homeless, but we can all aim to emulate Michelle Lussier by giving as much as we can, when we can.
You never know when you might be in the same position.


CIOs may be their own worst enemies here. Consider how much time and effort they spend trying to LIMIT the scope of the initiatives and priorities their charged with — working to meet only the MINIMUM requirements of a given assignment so they can get on to the next one that's been waiting, impatiently, in the queue. But aiming for the minimum, which is not all that uncommon, increases the probabilities of falling short, and as others have already indicated, it's tough for a CIO to sell something NEW when others consider IT's 'core' responsibilities not being properly met.
But therein may be the leverage the CIO can use: Rather than framing 'becoming a revenue/business enabler' as an opportunity separate and apart from the 'regular' work, position it as a happy consequence of elegantly addressing the bona fide IT problems already out there.
So rather than starting from scratch, try looking at the projects and programs already in queue and ask yourself (and your staff) how might 'more than the minimum' help leverage them into something elegantly revenue/business enabling?

Greater Manchester Combined Authority uses Launcher to enable seamless remote communication across 47 sites.
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) is a government organization in the UK, comprised of ten Greater Manchester Councils and the Mayor's office. The ten councils work together on issues that affect everyone in the region, including transport, regeneration, investment, and public services like the Fire and Rescue Service.
Mark Scoales is the Digital Services Manager at GMCA. Mark and his team of 35 staff are responsible for ensuring frontline firefighters and their support staff have all the necessary tools to carry out their roles, i.e., responding to incidents and keeping citizens safe.
In 2021, GMCA installed Launcher on their meeting room screens across 47 sites. We caught up with Mark to hear how Launcher has improved communication for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service.
When the pandemic hit in Spring 2020, Mark and his team at GMCA undertook a project to upgrade audio-visual equipment across fire stations. The desire was to increase digital functionality and improve the remote communications between colleagues across all sites.
As the GMCA communications rooms are used daily by almost 3,000 staff members, usability was essential when it came to looking for a solution.
In addition to facilitating easy access to their video conferencing tools, Mark and his team wanted to make it easy for staff to access the apps and tools that were regularly used by firefighters and their support staff.
Creating a uniform environment
Firefighters rely on repetitiveness and uniformity. The layout of fire stations is uniform to ensure firefighters can walk into any station and know where to find what they need. Mark and his team were keen to replicate this uniformity on the interactive screens installed in each station's community rooms.
Before using Launcher, Mark describes the experience as being "clunky." Laptops were connected to projectors, making it difficult to create a smooth user experience across the rooms.
Mark notes the challenges they faced:
"It was hard to manage the devices and technology in the rooms. Difficult to control what users were downloading.
We knew that if we were going to find a new way of doing things, it had to be a simple, easy-to-use solution, as this was the only way it would be adopted across the 47 sites.
After going out to tender, GMCA began a project to install 65-inch interactive touch display screens in the community rooms in each fire station throughout the GMCA region. DisplayNote Launcher was installed on each screen across GMCA's 47 sites.
Used in Launcher's Kiosk Mode, Mark and his team have provided an entirely uniform experience to all users. They now have full control over what apps and tools can be accessed, keeping the screens secure.
Mark Scoales, Digital Services Manager:
"When we discovered Launcher, there was nothing else out there that came close. With Launcher installed, we are reassured that every screen is exactly the same no matter which station you to go; the same apps and icons are always there.
The teams at GMCA now have one-touch access to their most frequently used video-conferencing platforms and tools across the 47 sites. And because Launcher makes the screens so easy to use, it has improved adoption, usability, and engagement with all the tools they access via the screens.
"Having a screen that looks exactly the same in every station has made a massive improvement. We don't have any issues with users not knowing how to use it."
Mark also commented on the quality of support he received from the Launcher team throughout the project:
"Onboarding new partners can be difficult for us. We always push the boundaries of what technology can do and what we expect as an organisation. The initial conversations we had were enlightening. Any suggestions we had, DisplayNote was happy to assist, happy to develop. This was a big positive for us.
Better tools; better training
Since installing Launcher, GMCA has noted a significant improvement in implementing training.
Previously, delivering training to each watch in every station would have taken around 2-3 months. With the upgraded AV set up, training has been delivered remotely using MS Teams to 4-5 fire stations at a time, reducing the overall time.
The fire service's learning portal has also been set up as a shortcut on the screens. The firefighters regularly complete mandatory training, which they can now access through a shortcut on the screen. They now complete the training in small groups, rather than individually, which they have found to be more effective.
Mark notes the positive impact this has had on the overall organization:
"Launcher has made a significant difference to how we deliver training. And because it makes the interactive displays so simple to use, our staff use it a lot. We're getting the full return on the investment of our equipment."
"This is probably the best software I've seen for functionality. I would recommend Launcher to anyone. It's clean and it does exactly what it is supposed to do. In short – it's very, very good."

Atomic Rooster are a British rock band, originally formed by members of the Crazy World of Arthur Brown, organist Vincent Crane and drummer Carl Palmer. Throughout their history, keyboardist Vincent Crane was the only constant member and wrote the majority of their material. Their history is defined by two periods: the early-mid-1970s and the early 1980s. The band went through radical style changes, but they are best known for the hard, progressive rock sound of their hit singles, "Tomorrow Night" (UK No. 11) and "Devil's Answer" (UK No. 4), both in 1971. In 2016, Atomic Rooster reformed with permission from Crane's widow, with the new line-up featuring two members from the various 1970s incarnations of the band. See for more.

As South Africa comes off the back of a tough financial year in 2018, members of the corporate travel industry and airline space are keeping a close eye on the aviation sector in 2019.
Travel managers and TMCs continue to watch trends in airfares with interest, particularly off the back of a tight 2018. Frank Palapies, COO, Africa & Middle East for Wings Travel, explains that the margins in the corporate travel industry are based largely on cost efficiency, and that last year's economic slump has led to renewed concerns around the cost of travel.
Kirby Gordon, Head of Sales and Distribution at FlySafair, believes the year could bring change in fare structures as the country continues to navigate the fuel price fluctuations as well as the cost of the rand.
Airlines like British Airways are hoping to address this by introducing new discounted fares, like the Basic Economy fare from Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban to London. This fare does not include seat selection or checked luggage in an effort to help travellers optimise their spend.
"A struggling economy is better for us as a low-cost carrier, as corporates look to find the cheapest option when booking travel. This was perhaps best illustrated by the nation's President flying FlySafair twice last year," says Gordon.
He says he will be keeping a keen eye on the demand for business class in the South African domestic travel sector. However, he suggests that, as the economy recovers, the demand for business-class options could re-develop. In 2018, FlySafair acquired aircraft from SAA, and reconfigured them to their standard one-class configuration. The same was done at Mango. "This removed a number of business-class seats from the market," explains Gordon. He wonders if this will be addressed in 2019.
For the corporate traveller, a delayed flight could mean the difference between making a meeting on time to close a sale, or not. "We have found, without a doubt, that the customer who is most annoyed by a delayed flight is the business traveller, because their time really is money," says Gordon.

Q: Seeking a Proof or a counter example for the following step regarding inequalties Please consider if the following pair of inequalities hold
$$
g(X) \le \mathbb{P}\left(\xi > X \right) \le h(X)
$$
where the domain of integration is over some variable $x$ and $X$ is some constant in this domain.
If $k(x) \ge 0$ is some function will the following hold.
$$
\int_{X}^{\infty}k(x)g'(x)\mbox{d}x \le
\int_{X}^{\infty}k(x)f_{\xi}(x)\mbox{d}x \le
\int_{X}^{\infty}k(x)h'(x)\mbox{d}x
$$
where $g'$ and $h'$ represent derivatives of $g$ and $h$ respectively wrt to $X$ and $f_{\xi}$ represents the probability density function of $\xi$.
I think this should be true but someone suggested that it might not be true.
How can we proof that this hypothesis is true, or alternatively what will be a valid counter example which shows this is false.
edit
I think i can restate the problem i have, as what are the minimum additional conditions required on $k \ge 0$ such that $\frac{\mbox {d}k}{\mbox {d}x} < 0$ and $k$ is integrable in the domain of integration. So that multiplying it with both sides of an inequality
$$
\int_{X}^{\infty}u(x)\mbox{d}x \le
\int_{X}^{\infty}v(x)\mbox{d}x
$$
preserves the inequality.
I was thinking of collecting the terms
$$
0 \le
\int_{X}^{\infty}(v(x) - u(x))\mbox{d}x
$$
and the then try use integration by parts after multiplying with $k$ to show the RHS will be satisfy the inequality, but i was not successful, with that.
If these conditions suffice, how can i show that the inequality is preserved.
Any suggestions or help are most welcome and appreciated.

A: Counterexample: if $k=h\equiv 1$ and $g\equiv 0$, all of the assumptions are satisfied, yet the resulting inequalities read $$0 \le P(\xi>X)\le 0,$$ which is clearly in general false (e.g. take $\xi$ exponential and $X>0$).
