Five myths about independent voters
By Linda Killian
1. Independent voters aren't really independent.
Perhaps the biggest myth about independents is that they are closet partisans or "leaners" who are independent in name only but regularly vote with one party. True, about half of independents do fit into this category, but the rest are truly independent; their allegiance swings from election to election. They are persuadable, not polarized partisans. A recent Pew Research Center poll puts the number of swing voters this year at 23 percent — almost a quarter of the electorate.
In 2006 independents chose Democratic House candidates over Republicans, 57 to 39 percent. But in 2008, Democrats won independent voters by only eight points and lost them by 19 points in 2010. With that kind of track record, it is impossible to say that independent voters are reliably partisan.
2. Independent voters are less engaged.
In hundreds of interviews with independent voters, I found that they tend to be well informed and care about the political process — even though the two parties have done their best to alienate them through attacks, gridlock and dysfunction. About two-thirds of them say they are independent because "both parties care more about special interests than about average Americans," according to a Pew survey.
Independent turnout is typically lower than it is among partisan voters. But in more than half of the country, independents are not permitted to vote in primaries, so they have no say in the candidates selected in the general election. It's no surprise, then, that they are usually less satisfied with their candidate choices than partisan voters are.
Independents are more turned off than partisan voters by negative campaign ads and are more likely to say they want more substantive discussions from the candidates and the media. Independents take voting seriously but are less moved by partisan appeals. They care more about the deficit than Democratic voters do, more about the environment than Republicans do, and less about social issues, such as same-sex marriage and abortion, than do voters from either party.
3. Independent voters want a third party.
I found no unanimity: Some of them think we do need a third- or multi-party system and consistently vote for outsider and third-party candidates, while others accept that this is a two-party nation.
The most successful third-party presidential candidacy in the past 100 years was when Teddy Roosevelt ran for a third term as a candidate with the Bull Moose Party in 1912 and won 27 percent of the vote. Roosevelt came in second to Woodrow Wilson and carried half a dozen states, including California, Michigan and Pennsylvania. Ross Perot, running as a Reform Party candidate in 1992, won 19 percent of the vote.
The third-party organization Americans Elect gathered enough signatures to qualify for the ballot in more than half the states, but did not attract a candidate who could generate much interest and officially suspended its effort Thursday. Many independent voters think it is more realistic to push for open primaries, and campaign finance and congressional redistricting reform that would open up the process to all voters and candidates, than it would be to try to create a competitive third party.
4. Independents are centrists.
Independent voters are more diverse in age, race, gender and income than Republican and Democratic voters. Most independents are socially liberal, fiscally responsible centrists, but some are also libertarians and far-left progressives. Sixty percent of independents say they are not aligned with a party because they agree with the Republicans on some things, such as the economy and national security, and with the Democrats on social issues.
I think of independent voters as falling into four key constituencies: NPR Republicans who are socially moderate and fiscally conservative; America First Democrats who tend to be male and more socially conservative (formerly known as Reagan Democrats); the Facebook generation of voters younger than 35 who lean libertarian on social and economic issues; and Starbucks Moms and Dads, suburban voters who make up a huge chunk of the electorate and are reliably unpredictable.
Washington and the nation at large may seem polarized, but a majority of voters consider themselves somewhere in between the two parties. These are not just independents, but centrists and moderates who still may be registered with one party, but at times vote for the other. Independents and their views are diverse — they don't fit into either political party or neatly in the center.
5. Independent voters are disillusioned with President Obama.
In 2008, Barack Obama won 52 percent of independent voters to John McCain's 44 percent, the largest margin a Democratic presidential candidate has received from independents since 1996.
Almost half of the independents who voted for Obama in 2008 did not vote Democratic in 2004; and independents made up 23 percent of Obama voters, according to a study by Third Way, a centrist think tank.
Because their numbers are growing and the Democratic and Republican parties are shrinking, independent voters, especially those in swing states, hold the key to the 2012 election.
Gallup polling has shown Obama and presumptive GOP nominee Mitt Romney in a virtual tie among independent voters. The most recent poll had Obama up two points with this group nationwide but also revealed that he has a nine-point lead among independents in 12 battleground states. According to a recent Washington Post poll, independents favor Obama's support for same-sex marriage by a margin of 49 to 43 percent, but independents still think the economy is the most important issue and will probably make their decision based on how it is doing in the fall.
Ninety percent of Democrats and Republicans say they plan to vote for their party's candidate, while a third of independent voters say they are not sure how they will vote. That means you will see a lot more visits by Obama and Romney to battleground states, trying to capture independent swing voters.

Forty percent of all registered voters are independents – the highest figure since Gallup started keeping track half a century ago. Since 2008, 2.5 million voters have left the two major parties to become independents, which is now a larger group than registered Republicans or Democrats. Let's address some of the misconceptions about this growing and influential bloc of voters.

GLEBE / ROMANIA
IX edition
A former political prisoner and his torturer confront each other at the Glebe, which is the mysterious ancient burial place where everything started, to conclude their unfinished business.
An ancient burial place called Glebe is the home of many generations of hunters amongst whom Barbu is the last.
As a child in the final days of World War Two, Barbu witnesses his family being executed and his home destroyed by Maksim, a thuggish but opportunistic teenager.
During the Communist era, Maksim has become a Secret Police officer, while Barbu is fighting for the Resistance. Maksim captures Barbu and incarcerates him together with Barbu's loyal best friend, Vlad. Over the next forty years, Maksim tortures Barbu, Vlad and other undesirables, using sadistic games to select who lives and dies.
Finally liberated after the fall of Communism in the 1990s, Barbu and Vlad ally with Faustina, a young widow whose husband was also killed by Maksim, to plan their revenge in a local hunting game. But the plans go wrong, as Maksim kills Vlad, takes Faustina hostage, and leaves Barbu for dead. For the second hunt, a recovered Barbu is better prepared. He lures Maksim to the Glebe, where, with the help of other former political prisoners and the police, Maksim is captured and judged for war crimes and genocide.
Attempting to escape from police custody, Barbu shoots Maksim dead. The hunt is finally over, and Barbu's beloved Glebe can now become a peaceful nature reserve.

Nigeria: House Of Representatives Passes Emergency Economic Stimulus Bill In Response To COVID-19 Pandemic
by Andersen in Nigeria (Lagos)
Andersen in Nigeria
On 25 March 2020, the House of Representatives (HoR) of the Federal Republic of Nigeria passed the Emergency Economic Stimulus Bill. Amongst other provisions, the Bill seeks to put measures in place to protect jobs and alleviate the financial burden on citizens in response to the economic downturn occasioned by the outbreak of the COVID-19 (Corona Virus) disease. The Bill now awaits passage by the Senate and Presidential assent before its provisions will become effective.
Following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic across various countries including Nigeria, the HoR considered and passed the Emergency Economic Stimulus Bill in a bid to mitigate the adverse economic effects resulting from the outbreak of the pandemic in Nigeria.
Some specific provisions of the Bill are highlighted below:
1. Rate of Tax and Special Tax Rebate
Employers duly registered under the Companies and Allied Matters Act that do not lay-off their staff between 1 March 2020 and 31 December 2020 will be entitled to 50% income tax rebate on the total amount due or paid as Pay-As-You-Earn Tax (personal income tax) on behalf of their employees;
An employer will still be entitled to the above stated relief where an employee dies of natural causes, voluntarily leaves the employment, had indicated intention to leave the employment before 1 March 2020 or where the employee breaches the Labour Act;
The President is empowered to extend the rebate period for the duration during which the COVID-19 disease remains an urgent and severe public health emergency, subject to ratification by a majority of the members of the National Assembly.
2. Deferral of Payment of Mortgages under National Housing Fund
All payment of mortgage obligations on residential mortgages obtained by individual contributors to the National Housing Fund will be deferred for 180 days effective 1 March 2020;
The President is empowered to further extend the deferral period for a period of up to 180 days, subject to ratification by a majority of the members of the National Assembly.
3. Import Duty Waivers on Medicines and Medical Goods
Import duty waiver will be granted on Medical Equipment, Medicine, Personal Protection Equipment and other medical necessities required for the treatment and management of the COVID-19 disease in Nigeria;
The Minister of Health is empowered to specify the goods that qualify for import duty waiver by way of Regulations published in the Gazette;
The waiver is to take effect from 1 March 2020 to 31 December 2020 and the President may extend this waiver in line with his power to vary import duties under Section 13(1) of the Customs, Excise, Tariffs etc. (Consolidation) Act.
This Bill, if signed into law, will have significant impact on businesses and taxpayers as it seeks to compensate employers that do not lay-off employees during the period of the crisis by providing tax rebates. In addition, with its stipulated import duty exemptions, necessary medical equipment and facilities will be more easily shipped into the country and should become available at affordable costs. For the mortgage moratorium, individuals with residential mortgage obligations to the government will not be required to make any repayments during the approved period.
The passage of the Bill by the HoR, is aimed at providing relief to employers and individuals and minimising the negative effects on the Nigerian economy in the light of the global pandemic. It is therefore a step in the right direction and it is expected that the Senate will also quickly pass the Bill. In addition to this, it is hoped that Government will provide additional economic palliatives as has been done in other countries impacted by the outbreak. In doing this, it is important that Government engages stakeholders (taxpayers, consultants, employers, businesses, importers, tax authorities at the Federal and State levels etc.) to understand the areas of need in the economy and ensure that the objectives of any stimulus is achieved. This will also help to achieve synergy and efficiency in the implementation of the intended reliefs. We will continue to monitor developments with respect to the Bill and its further consideration.

White Unicorn Ventures plans $20-million fund, early-stage realty tech startups in focus
The company comprises four associates and 20 individual investors. However, for the $20-million fund, it plans to raise money from independent institutions instead of high networth individuals
Shashwati Shankar
BENGALURU: White Unicorn Ventures plans to raise a $20-million fund to invest in earlystage startups and spend up to $5 million by the end of 2016, five times as much as it did last year.
"We are looking at foreign partnerships for the $20-million fund," said Rohit Chokhani, principal founder of White Unicorn Ventures. The company is in talks with investors in Germany and Silicon Valley for the purpose, Chokhani said. "Fifty per cent of the fund allocation will focus on cross-border deals while the remaining amount will largely focus on real-estate tech startups in India," he said.
The company comprises four associates and 20 individual investors. However, for the $20-million fund, it plans to raise money from independent institutions instead of high networth individuals. Chokhani said the company's plans to spend $5 million this year are sector agnostic, involving "anything from transportation and travel to B2B marketplaces".
Half of the $20-million fund, focusing on cross-border deals, will be for the venture fund's existing portfolio startups to expand operations internationally and for American or European startups to acquire Indian startups or set up products and service operations in India.
While most venture funds are betting big on financial, health and education technology startups, White Unicorn Ventures is scouting for early-stage businesses in real estate technology that don't simply serve as a listing portal but provide an endto-end service experience. "The real estate tech sector could grow to be a regulated industry… better data transfer, stronger provision of mass housing, inclusive of comparatively newer models like peer to peer networks for brokers…listing alone cannot be monetised," Chokhani said.

This Fragile Moment is an eclectic musical assemblage fronted by the charismatic English vocalist Toyah Wilcox.
The results are a unique amalgamation of the talent involved, standing apart from Toyah's previous work, speaking a language of its own. This album will resonate not only with Toyah's core fan-base but also with a wider audience given the collaborative nature of the group and the broad musical spectrum of the performances.
Recorded in Estonia this summer, the self-titled album centers around predominantly improvised live-in-the-studio performances by Toyah, bassist Chris Wong (of Toyah's other current project The Humans), producer & touch guitarist Markus Reuter, plus the members of Estonian duo Fragile: Arvo Urb (drums) and Robert Jürjendal (guitar).

But those conversations miss a much more consequential point. The true significance isn't what we are leaving; it's what we are going toward. In a surprising phenomenon, people are not just abandoning jobs but switching professions. This is a radical re-assessment of our careers, a great reset in how we think about work. A Pew survey in January found that 66% of unemployed people have seriously considered changing occupations—and significantly, that phenomenon is common to those at every income level, not just the privileged high earners. A third of those surveyed have started taking courses or job retraining. Pew doesn't have comparable earlier data, but in a 2016 survey, about 80% of people reported being somewhat or very satisfied with their jobs.
Not all Americans were lucky enough to find work as quickly as Dahl. Even the availability of gig work – which can range from app-based services such as Uber, Lyft, and Instacart to contract work and freelancing – mostly declined during the pandemic, despite an uptick in demand for certain services like food delivery, according to The Aspen Institute's Shelly Steward, who directs their Future of Work initiative. Chris Kirkpatrick, 28, said he had earned an online graduate certificate in data analytics prior to the pandemic, when he was laid off from his job working in youth development. He had been interested in the field of analytics because it seemed more intellectually challenging, and the salaries were higher than the previous field he worked in, but Kirkpatrick said even contract assignments and part-time work had been incredibly competitive to land — the only paid freelance gig he found since losing his job was through a family connection. After applying to nearly 1,000 jobs in the Seattle area with no luck, he said he began looking for remote work outside of the region.

Q: Viewmodel not retaining values after changing activities using dagger dependency injection I'm trying to share a ViewModel between two different activities. The first activity is LoginActivity, there I make a request to an api using the users username and password to get a user object. Using live data that user is then changed in the ViewModel. To test I also have a variable that is a string and I change it once i make the API call.
My ViewModel:
class MainViewModel @Inject constructor() : ViewModel(){

    var _request = MutableLiveData<LoginRequest>()

    val userLogin: LiveData<LoggedInUser> = Transformations
        .switchMap(_request){req ->
            MainRepository.authenticatePlease(req.username, req.password)
        }
    var rando = "rando rando"

    fun setUser(username: String, password: String){
        val update = LoginRequest(username, password)
        rando = "changed"
        if(_request.value == update){
            return
        }
        _request.value = update
    }

}

As you can see the value of the variable rando is changed from rando rando to changed
In my first activity looks like this:
class LoginActivity : DaggerAppCompatActivity() {

    @Inject lateinit var modelFactory: ViewModelProvider.Factory
    lateinit var viewModel: MainViewModel

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_login)
//        AndroidInjection.inject(this)
        val button: Button = findViewById(R.id.button)
        button.setOnClickListener { onButtonClick() }
        val label: TextView = findViewById(R.id.counter)

        viewModel =  ViewModelProvider(this, modelFactory).get(MainViewModel::class.java)
        println("FACTORY: ${modelFactory.hashCode()}")
        println("MODEL: ${viewModel.hashCode()}")

        viewModel.userLogin.observe(this, Observer{ user ->
            println("Debug LOGIN: ${user}")
            println("RANDOM: ${viewModel.rando}")
            if(user != null){
                label.text = user.user.name
                redirectToLogin()
            }
        })
    }

    fun onButtonClick(){
        var username: EditText = findViewById(R.id.username)
        var password: EditText = findViewById(R.id.password)
        println(username.text.toString())
        println(password.text.toString())
        viewModel.setUser(username.text.toString(), password.text.toString())
    }

    fun redirectToLogin(){
        println("Login done!")
        val intent = Intent(this, SampleActivity::class.java)
        intent.putExtra("extra", viewModel.userLogin.value)
        startActivity(intent)
    }
}

The second activity looks like this:
class SampleActivity : DaggerAppCompatActivity() {

    lateinit var viewModel: MainViewModel
    @Inject lateinit var modelFactory: ViewModelProvider.Factory

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
//        AndroidInjection.inject(this)
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_sample)
//        val loggedInUser: LoggedInUser? = intent.getParcelableExtra("extra")
//        println("extra: $loggedInUser")
        viewModel = ViewModelProvider(this, modelFactory).get(MainViewModel::class.java)
        println("FACTORY: ${modelFactory.hashCode()}")
        println("MODEL: ${viewModel.hashCode()}")
        println(" $ WORKS: ${viewModel.userLogin.value.toString()}")
        println(" $ WORKS: ${viewModel.userLogin.value}")
        println(" $ WORKS: ${viewModel.rando}")

    }
}

One thing to note is that the hashcode for my ViewModelFactory is the same in both activities, but the hashcodes for the ViewModels are different. Moreover, the variable rando in the ViewModel is rando rando in the second activity as opposed to changed
Thanks!
EDIT
Here is my ViewModelFactory:
@Singleton
class ViewModelProviderFactory @Inject constructor(
    private val creators: Map<Class<out ViewModel>, @JvmSuppressWildcards Provider<ViewModel>>
) : ViewModelProvider.Factory {

@Suppress("UNCHECKED_CAST")
override fun <T : ViewModel> create(modelClass: Class<T>): T {
    val creator = creators[modelClass]
        ?: throw IllegalArgumentException("Unknown model class $modelClass")

    return creator.get() as T
}

AppComponent.kt:
@Singleton
@Component(
    modules = [
        AppModule::class,
        AndroidInjectionModule::class,
        ViewModelModule::class,
        ActivityModule::class
    ]
)
interface AppComponent {
    fun inject(app: MainApplication)

    @Component.Factory
    interface Factory {
        fun create(@BindsInstance context: Context): AppComponent
    }
}

ActivityModule.kt:
@Module
abstract class ActivityModule {

    @ContributesAndroidInjector
    abstract fun contributeLoginActivity(): LoginActivity

    @ContributesAndroidInjector
    abstract fun contributeSampleActivity(): SampleActivity
}

AppModule.kt:
@Module(includes = [ViewModelModule::class])
class AppModule {

    @Provides
    @Named("mainViewModel")
    fun provideMainViewModel(): MainViewModel =
        MainViewModel()

}

and  ViewModelModule.kt:
@Module
abstract class ViewModelModule {

    @Binds
    @IntoMap
    @ViewModelKey(MainViewModel::class) // PROVIDE YOUR OWN MODELS HERE
    internal abstract fun bindMainViewModel(mainViewModel: MainViewModel): ViewModel

    @Binds
    internal abstract fun bindViewModelProviderFactory(factory: ViewModelProviderFactory): ViewModelProvider.Factory
}

one thing to notice is that in ViewModelModule I get the following warning Function bindViewModelProviderFactory  is never used and
Function bindMainViewModel is never used

Wauchope Castle, castle and manse 235m SSW of Springhill
A Scheduled Monument in Annandale East and Eskdale, Dumfries and Galloway
Longitude: -3.014 / 3°0'50"W
Mapcode National: GBR 78DY.82
Mapcode Global: WH7YP.NXYB
Entry Name: Wauchope Castle, castle and manse 235m SSW of Springhill
Category: Ecclesiastical: Manse, priest's residence, etc; Secular: bailey
Location: Langholm
County: Dumfries and Galloway
Electoral Ward: Annandale East and Eskdale
Traditional County: Dumfriesshire
The monument comprises the remains of a medieval motte-and-bailey castle, a later stone castle and a 17th-century manse. The monument is located at around 90m above sea level on the W side of a gorge, through which runs the Wauchope Water.
The motte of the original Wauchope Castle occupies a rocky eminence, around 4m high. The N side of the monument is bounded by a purpose-cut ditch and by two watercourses, the Becks Burn and Wauchope Water, which converge at the NE corner of the site. The monument is surrounded by a ditch where the land slopes down on its W and S sides and has outer earthwork banks. The ditch measures up to 7m in breadth, while the outer bank is up to 5m wide and 0.9m high. The total extent of the monument is around 150m SSW-NNE by up to around 75m transversely. The inner area, bounded by the river and moat measures around 90m SSW-NNE by around 30m transversely. A later road, the B7068, runs through the western ditch. The remains of a stone revetment can be traced along the upper edge of the river cliff, to the east. The motte is presumed to have been levelled prior to the construction of the later stone castle. Excavation in 1966 revealed foundations of walls around 1.2m wide and composed of river cobbles.
A number of other earthworks are superimposed on those relating to the castle. In the eastern outer bank are the remains of two kilns. On the W side of the inner area are the stone footings of a two-cell post-Reformation manse, which measures 20m from NNE-SSW by around 8m transversely. At right angles to the manse on the south are the remains of a second building, parts of which have been removed through later quarrying. A third building, the remains of which comprise turf-covered stone wall-footings, lies on the south close to the bottom of the slope down to the ditch and measures 6.5m by 4m. At the northern end of the inner area is a trackway oriented NNE-SSW, once the drive to the manse.
The area to be scheduled is irregular on plan to include the visible remains of the monument, as well as an area around it within which evidence relating to its construction and use may survive, as shown in red on the accompanying map. The scheduled area runs up to but excludes the post-and-wire fence on either side of the road. To allow for their maintenance, the scheduling excludes the above-ground elements of all other fences and telegraph poles.
The earthwork remains of the castle and the outer banks are still a clearly discernable and visually impressive element in the surrounding landscape. The bank, ditch and watercourses that delineate the monument are demonstrably defensive in character and must have signified a site of local power and prestige to which access was strictly controlled.
Fragmentary elements of the foundations of the later stone castle, constructed of river cobbles, were revealed beneath the footings of the manse through excavation in 1966. Another poorly documented excavation is understood to have been undertaken on the castle at the end of 19th century. The small-scale nature of these excavations indicate that the monument still retains an inherent potential to further our knowledge of early and later castle construction and inform our understanding of how such constructions are developed and augmented through time.
Finds from the 1966 excavation were sparse and comprised a sherd of 13th-century pottery. An enamel hasp was recovered from the bank of Becks Burn at the end of 19th century. It was French, dated to the 13th century and would probably originally have been fitted to a coffer. Finds such as these indicate that artefacts associated with the monument have a capacity to further our knowledge of the lives of the inhabitants and increase our understanding of their material culture and the links that they demonstrate with the wider world.
The survival of the later manse, known to have been abandoned in the mid-19th century, also indicates that the location developed over time and the uses to which it was put evolved. The placing of an ecclesiastical structure on a site with a tradition as a centre of local authority is intriguing and further research may indicate the exact nature of the relationship between secular and ecclesiastical power at this location.
Wauchope Castle is situated adjacent to the Wauchope Water around 1090m WSW of the centre of Langholm. Topographically the monument is located at a position that could monitor and control movement to Langholm from Lockerbie, being at a crossing point of the river and within the river valley, a communication route. This is attested by the fact that around 190m to the north-east of the castle, excavation in 1965 uncovered the remains of a pack horse bridge and associated pottery of 13th-century date.
There are 14 timber castles, some with later stone elements, and two stone castles recorded in eastern Dumfries and Galloway. Analysis of the known timber castles in the area has indicated that their siting is primarily to protect the lordship of Annandale from intrusions from Galloway, and also to protect routeways through eastern Dumfriesshire into the rest of the Kingdom. The location of Wauchope Castle would appear to fit within this pattern.
The old parish church, located around 50m to the NE, is mentioned in 1220 when its revenues were annexed to Jedburgh. The church was demolished after 1703 when the parish was united with Staplegorton and half of Morton to form Langholm parish. The churchyard continued in use into the 19th century and fragments of grave architecture collected from the graveyard include a grave-slab of possibly early Christian date indicating that there may have been a chapel here prior to the construction of the castle.
This proximity of the castle to the former church may also reflect an Anglo-French influence. Royalty brought Anglo-Normans into parts of Scotland to strengthen the feudal system and grants of land may have been conditional on the foundation of a church. Close proximity to estate centres can mark proprietorial foundations and reflect this process of feudalisation. Eight of the late-medieval churches known within this area are immediately adjacent to the sites of timber castles. The fact that the Church of Scotland now owns all the land at Wauchope and this forms part of the glebe in this area demonstrates potential longevity in land tenure. The monument should be valued for its potential to inform our understanding of the nature of developing relationships between church and state.
In the wider landscape, 1180m to the north-east is Langholm Castle, a 16th-century tower house and stronghold of the Armstrong family. The date and location of this structure points to a transfer of power from Wauchope and the Lindsay family when the Wauchope castle became ruined in the mid-16th century. The reasons for this shift after at least 300 years are unclear.
Further analysis of the monument and comparison with contemporaneous structures has the capacity to inform our knowledge of how centres of power and lordship were distributed through the landscape and perhaps identify patterns in how they developed through time from construction through to abandonment, and to infom our understanding of how royal power functioned in the landscape and how feudalism and changes in patterns of land tenure impacted on the local landscape.
Associative characteristics
The monument is noted on both 1st and 2nd edition Ordnance Surveys maps as 'Wauchope Castle (remains of)' and on recent maps as 'Castle Earthworks'.
The castle and later ecclesiastical site are well documented and its value is enhanced by these historical associations. The date of construction of the motte and bailey is unclear but is probably in the early to mid-12th century. However, the lands of Wauchope were granted to Sir John Lindsay, of Norman origin, in 1285 and the construction of the stone castle may relate to this event. The Lindsay family held the castle for the next 300 years. The castle is documented as ruined by 1580, though the church to the north, first mentioned in 1220, remained in use until around 1703.
While we still have much to learn about the date, form and development of medieval castles in Scotland, they reflect the introduction of new southern political ideas (feudalism) and sometimes foreign forms of castle building. With its characteristically prominent position, the construction and occupation of a castle such as Wauchope, would have spoken loudly of the presence of new lords and new ways of doing things. Its location overlooking the former Wauchope parish church and a main route into the valleys of the Esk and Ewes Waters emphasised this presence.
This monument is of national importance because it has an inherent potential to inform our knowledge of the advance of a new form of centralised, royal authority into southern Scotland during the 12th and 13th centuries. As a centre of local lordship, it can contribute to the relatively small body of knowledge for this process, as well as evidence for medieval rural landuse, settlement and economy. The castle buildings and associated remains have the potential to provide information about its date, construction, form and use that can contribute to our understanding of the development and use of medieval castles in the lowland zone, and in Scotland in general. The loss of this important castle site would erode our ability to understand the development of castles in Scotland and medieval lordship and society in the region.

Andrew Cuomo Says Trump Is To Blame For Every COVID Death In New York State...And Everywhere
By Kira Davis | 5:30 PM on October 29, 2020
Kevin P. Coughlin/ Office of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo via AP
The new narrative on New York's COVID response is here…and it's ridiculous. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo appeared on The View for a spa treatment and massage hard-hitting interview and true to form cohost Sunny Hostin slobbered all over the Governor, praising his COVID response and his ensuing book on the ordeal ( I guess I you don't have actually be through an ordeal to write about how well you handled the ordeal), calling his book "absolutely fantastic" and (shockingly) "a guide on how to deal with this pandemic."
Hostin continued her fanfest, giving Cuomo the opportunity to call the negative coverage of his response "a lie."
"There has been a lot of confusion about an alleged March 25 order that directed nursing homes to accept, in New York, infected COVID patients, possibly leading to the death of more than 6,000 seniors. Now you say in your book, 'That was a lie,' that New York state never demanded or directed that any nursing home accept a COVID positive patient. The Department of Justice, however, is now supposedly looking into this issue," Hostin said. "Can you explain what really happened?"
Cuomo's explanation was basically a verbal shrug. When your argument for reopening is that we must assume some risk to survive as a society, The View crowd will call you a murderer. When Cuomo shrugs and says that people were going to die anyway, he gets a book deal and the red carpet laid out for him.
"They have played politics on this from day one, right? They have done a terrible job on COVID from day one and they want a counter defense. What they were saying was, 'Well, a lot of people died in nursing homes in Democratic states', it's not just New York, it's all the Democratic states, and the truth is, a lot of people did die in nursing homes in Democratic states. The truth is people are dying today in nursing homes in Republican states, it's just that Democratic states had the disease worse and earlier."
"If you look at how many people died in New York nursing homes, New York is No. 46 out of 50 states in the percentage of deaths in nursing homes. The way the law works is no nursing home in New York can accept a patient if they don't believe they can care for that patient adequately and if they can do it within the safety of their facilities, so the conspiracy they're trying to spread has no factual basis."
But the last whopper was the true stunner. Governor Cuomo doesn't hold himself responsible for any deaths. He doesn't even hold China responsible for any deaths (apparently because the virus supposedly migrated to the U.S. through Europe that means China has two degrees of separation from the plague they invented).
"The virus did not come here from China," Cuomo proclaimed. "The virus came here from Europe because he wasn't paying attention, the virus left China, went to Europe… January, February, March we had three million people coming in from Europe… that's where the virus came from."
No, Cuomo holds…you guessed it…Trump responsible for the deaths of the elderly Cuomo himself locked in nursing homes.
Not that it makes a difference to Cuomo fans in any way. The Democrat narrative is now receiving unlimited assists from the mainstream media. If Cuomo says Trump killed all the victims in his state, then that's what happened.
New York Gov. Cuomo says he holds Pres. Trump "responsible for every death in this country" from COVID-19 because the admin "lied" and was "totally incompetent" in their response: "110,000 people more are going to die because [Trump] won't wear a mask." https://t.co/f8u2wbJuik pic.twitter.com/C89czabjRf
— The View (@TheView) October 29, 2020
110,000 people are going to die because they're not wearing masks, but apparently his brother Chris Cuomo won't be one of those people even as he continues to thwart mask mandates in his own apartment building.
The hypocrisy and the lying is stunning, but it's also exhausting.
Here's a great thread laying out all the ways Cuomo is lying and intentionally avoiding the science and the data.
Cuomo on The View says the DOJ is investigating his handling of nursing homes because an election is being held.
"The truth is people are dying today in nursing homes in Republican states. It's just Democratic states had the disease first and worse."

Eastern Oregon University > Academics > MFA to host three summer literary readings
MFA to host three summer literary readings
Carl and Sandra Ellston Ars Poetica Literary Lecture Series reading in 2018-19 at Pierce Library
July 10, 2019 LA GRANDE, Ore. – The Masters of Fine Arts Program at Eastern Oregon University will host three literary readings and lectures by visiting writers during the second week of its annual summer residency, July 16 to 18.
Award-winning novelist, Stephanie Oakes will give a craft lecture at 4 p.m., Tuesday, July 16 and an evening reading at 7:30 p.m. Both events are in Ackerman 208, the Alumni Room, on the EOU campus.
Her debut novel, "The Sacred Lies of Minnow Bly," was released from Dial/Penguin in 2015 and was a finalist for the William C. Morris Award. In that novel, Oakes chronicles the harrowing escape of its teenage protagonist from a fictitious religious cult in the Montana wilderness. It recently premiered as a drama series, "Sacred Lies," on Facebook Watch.
Her follow-up novel, "The Arsonist" appeared from Dial/Penguin in 2017. "The Arsonist" received the Washington State Book Award in the category, Books for Youth. Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books praised the cold mystery as a "rich blend of history, intrigue, humor, and grief [that] makes for page-turning storytelling."
Stephanie Oakes
The MFA program teams up with Arts Center East for a reading by award-winning MFA faculty members, novelist Megan Kruse, poets Christopher Howell and James Crews, and essayist Jodi Varon. All will be reading from their recent work at 7 p.m. on July 17 at Arts Center East. The authors' bios can be found at eou.edu/mfa.
Poet Kevin Goodan rounds out the events calendar, July 18 with a 4 p.m. craft lecture and an evening reading at 7:30 p.m. Both events are also in Ackerman 208, the Alumni Room, on the EOU campus.
Kevin Goodan
Kevin Goodan was born in Montana and raised on the Flathead Indian Reservation where his stepfather and brothers are tribal members. Goodan earned his bachelor's degree from the University of Montana and worked as a firefighter for 10 years with the U.S. Forest Service before receiving his MFA from University of Massachusetts-Amherst in 2004.
Goodan's first collection of poetry, "In the Ghost-House Acquainted" won The L.L. Winship/PEN New England Award in 2005. In an interview with Goodan for Astrophil Press, poet Gregory Lawless noted the "breathtaking moments of solitude" of Goodan's style, which "exhibits both pastoral eloquence and psychological intensity." Goodan's poems have been published in various collections. "Winter Tenor," was published in 2009 and Library Journal recommended his most recent collection, "Anaphora," for its "heart-searing intensity."
All the readings are free and open to the public. Authors' books will be available for purchase after the readings.

I was educated in the 1980's and it is fair to say that my Geography education was patchy; a traffic survey here (I accurately recorded 1 car after 2 hours in Tittleshall Village High Street and was told off for not doing my homework properly), some map reading there and a bit of population density thrown in for good measure. Perhaps I was ill the day we did volcanoes but what was certain was that I struggled to engage with the subject and even the colouring of maps and keys lost their appeal after a while. That was until I realised that Geography is packed full of the most amazing stories.
Stories that span the life of continents or that are over in the flash of a lightning bolt; stories of far flung places or from just around the corner and all packed with amazing drama! From the catastrophic energy of a volcano to canyons eroded by rivers, valleys carved by glaciers and mountains rising up from the earth's crust; these stories are every bit as exciting as the clash of armies, the murder of kings and the fall of civilisations from History.
We have been telling stories about the geography around us for centuries. The Australian Aboriginal myths describe how the landscape was formed and imbue geographical features with cultural and spiritual significance; these stories are beautiful and powerful but no more so than the true story of the Grand Canyon, the Himalayas or the Amazon River. Geographical stories have fascinating time scales and spectacular settings. Once you have heard them you can see their traces everywhere, from the Vale of York to the moons of Jupiter. You can look back in time to Ice Age Britain or out to space at Io, the most geologically active body in our Solar System, with over 400 active volcanoes.

During the summer of 1789 was the outbreak of the French Revolution. There were numerous good reasons that started the French Revolution, but one of the largest was BREAD!!.. the price of bread was soaring. For example, in August 1788, 50% of a peasant's income went toward the purchase of bread. By July 1789, this figure had risen to 80%. Bread was a way of collecting taxes, and it was illegal for peasants to own an oven, grindstone and to bake their own bread. Some people risked their lives to supply bread illegally to the poorest peasants. The most famous of these heroes was "Jacques le Croquant" He and his men put up communal ovens hidden away in the hills and forests, well guarded and well used.
Jacques le Croquant was captured in May 1794 on the day of his 26th birthday … He was be-headed.
Just 2 months later on July 28, 1794 the French Revolution came to an end.
This amazing journey takes you on a real exciting and fascinating journey back in time. You will get to see 5 ORIGINAL illegal ovens still tucked away.
You will travel along ancient paths, to ruined villages, the ruins of a Templar Hospital, and numerous caves and shelters.
A lot of this adventure is off the beaten track. The trip can be done in about 6 hours, but can be extended with various other hikes.
It is possible to do a shorter version of this trip, but we really do not recommend it unless you are really short on time.
This adventure is a MUST for anyone interested in Historic and adventurous off the beaten trail hikes.

Enclave Tournament of Legends Character Sheet
By: Morgan Busse In: News
Hi everyone! Who's ready for the battle of epic proportions? Here's a list of the characters competing in this year's tournament of legends.
First, the heroes:
Lohlyn is one of the feared Charab—a king's assassin—but instead of using her fearsome skills to kill, she is now a secret protector. Don't be fooled. She may look like a mere lady-in-waiting to the queen but there's a sharp and deadly blade hidden in her robe. And she's watching…everyone.
Princess Brierly is beautiful and Fairy-Gifted, but also…daft. When a prince finally comes and wakes her up with a kiss, she believes the rescue is just a dream.
Captain Glint Starcrost is a streetwise star pilot. He's trigger happy with a high powered energy pistol called a DEMOTER. Glint is a survivor. He'll fight dirty if he has to.
Susan Mitchell is a beleaguered suburban mother of four, who dreams of doing valiant service for God (like the prophetess Deborah in Judges). After she's pulled through a portal into another world, she discovers she has the signs of the promised Restorer that the clans are waiting for.
Navy Commander Jared Carter leads an interceptor crew that combats piracy in the galaxy, whether it be on land, in the vastness of space, or even underwater. Jared is resourceful, with a knack for turning overwhelming odds into a chance to live.
Parvin Blackwater is a young girl of impulse, doubts, and dreams, who's determined to save lives and figure out her purpose in life before her Clock zeroes out.
Birdie is the young Songkeeper of Leira who hears the heart-melodies of every living thing and gives voice to the Song of the Master Singer – a melody that heals and restores, summons the waters to rise, and enables her to wield a special sword in battle.
Jayden, aka Hidden Dagger, learned the art of fighting from a young age. Not only is she a master with her magical daggers, she can feel your emotions, and if you cross her, she'll exploit them.
And now for the villains:
Detective Chief Inspector Nikolaas Ryke is a zealous hunter of the faithful and a connoisseur of torture. He leads the Kesek secret police – and later, a terrorist cell – in his efforts to stomp out the faith.
Phoena is the second daughter of the royal family of Netaia. She uses intimidation, flirtation, domination, secrecy, and bullying to fulfill her goals.
Abyddon is a supremely powerful super villain who can conjure destructive blasts and has a wide array of robot warriors who fight at his beck and call.
Two-Eyes, aka Lord Avery of Morshe, is a master huntsman who has tracked down every form of prey known to man in his insatiable craving for a challenge. He excels in the use of sword, long bow, and dagger, but is unmatched in his skill with a whip.
The Empress is a ruthless faery queen who harbours a bitter hatred of humans, and has decreed death to any faery who befriends them. She can deceive both faery and human minds with her cunning illusions, and her dark magic can force even the most reluctant faeries to do her bidding — which puts her at the head of a powerful magical army.
Esek Nathak is a pompous, temperamental usurper who still thinks himself king, even though everyone knows he's a fraud. He is cruelly creative with any sharp object and trained in the magic of Black Knights.
Poired Dyrth is power hungry and omnipotent.
Caleb Tala is a prince of the Temanin Empire and secret assassin for his cousin Lord Corin. He is ruthless and will do whatever it takes to get the job done. During war, he also acts as the lead interrogator for the Temanin forces.
Now, are you ready to vote? Here's the link to the bracket. Have fun! http://woobox.com/e9jxag

"It is time our federal government steps up to provide relief so that patients everywhere can medicate without fear of losing any of their civil rights and protections, including while in federal housing or healthcare settings, such as hospices," - Debbie Churgai
OGDENSBURG — Joseph Mariott is tired of taking opioids to cope with chronic pain from spinal injuries, but using medical marijuana as an alternative could lead to his eviction from public housing.
With a back and neck full of surgically implanted plates and screws, the 55-year-old former dairy farmer is taking up to 5 of his prescribed 7.5 milligram Percocet tablets per day and is worried about becoming addicted.
He has been taking the pills for more than three years after injuring his neck in a car crash.
Mr. Marriott said he heard about medical marijuana and when he looked into it, he discovered that his condition qualifies for cannabis treatment.
While the State of New York is fine with Mr. Marriott treating his chronic pain with medical marijuana, his landlord is not. Mr. Marriott is a tenant of the Ogdensburg Housing Authority, which is 100 percent funded by the federal government.
His situation is one that has repeated nationwide as the federal government has retained marijuana's classification as an illegal drug, even when used as medicine and prescribed by a doctor.
New York has allowed medical marijuana as an opioid alternative for pain treatment since 2018. As of March 3, the state department of health reported that 114,704 New York residents have been certified as patients in the medical marijuana program.
Cheryl Douglass, executive director of the Ogdensburg Housing Authority, said all tenants sign a lease that prohibits criminal activity.
"One definition of that, is the illegal use or possession of illegal substances," Ms. Douglass said. Marijuana is considered by the federal government as a Schedule I narcotic, she said.
"We have to follow the federal rules," Ms. Douglass said.
Public housing agencies continue to follow a directive established in 2011 that dictates how the federally funded institutions must treat marijuana use. The guidelines state users of marijuana are prohibited from being admitted to public housing and housing choice venture programs.
"State laws that legalize medical marijuana directly conflict with the admission requirements," the document states.
The document further states that existing residents may have their assistance terminated for use of a controlled substance, but it is not required of the individual agency giving discretion to determine whether to "deny assistance to or terminate individual medical marijuana users, rather than entire households."
Americans for Safe Access (ASA), an organization that advocates for advancing medical marijuana, points out the Schedule I designation for marijuana is the same designation as LSD and heroin.
The group has been advocating to remove the descheduling of cannabis since 2002. Proposed legislation last year, which has not been approved, would have done so.
"It is time our federal government steps up to provide relief so that patients everywhere can medicate without fear of losing any of their civil rights and protections, including while in federal housing or healthcare settings, such as hospices," ASA Interim Director Debbie Churgai said in a statement.
Mr. Marriott said he turned to the office of Rep. Elise M. Stefanik, R-Schuylerville, to find a solution to his problem.
"I reached out to her office and heard back in 90 minutes," Mr. Marriott said. Mary Rose Planchon, a Congressional Defense Fellow in Ms. Stefanik's Watertown office, sent an email to Mr. Marriott with a paragraph she said came from a Housing and Urban Development (HUD) representative in Washington, D.C.
"At this time, HUD has declared that medical marijuana is considered federally illegal, regardless of state law, and considered use of an illegal drug," the email states. "HUD is not enforcing evictions/denials, but rather they are allowing individual housing programs to establish their own policies about how to enforce this."
"They said they were going to look the other way." Mr. Marriott said.
Ms. Douglass said she is obligated to protect the funding that supports the housing authority and the lease that Mr. Marriott signed. It was not clear Wednesday exactly how much federal funding the authority could be at stake.
She said that the conflict between state and federal law is a discussion in public housing circles but there have been no resolutions.
To further frustrate Mr. Marriott, New York State law does not allow the public use of medical marijuana, nor the use of edibles.
Mr. Marriott wants to vape, but is not allowed to smoke in the building or on the grounds of his apartment. That's on top of not being allowed to possess marijuana — in any form.
"I can't use it, if I can't possess it," he said.

While kids are too young for most social networks, they are already obsessed with content-sharing platforms.
In fact, YouTube is officially the top-ranked brand among children ages 6-to-12, according to fresh findings from market research firm Smarty Pants.
Up from seventh place on the list of kid's favorite brands last year, the video platform just beat out Oreo, M&M's, Doritos and Hershey's.
Among other media brands, the Google unit bested Disney, Disney Channel, Netflix, and Nickelodeon.
What do kids find so great about YouTube?
For their research, Poris and her team had 8,125 children and their parents evaluate 285 consumer brands across nearly 20 categories over a three-month period. Brands were ranked in terms of awareness, love and popularity.
While streaming video services like Netflix remained popular with kids, YouTube has clearly become the go-to portal for kids seeking a seemingly endless supply of the short-form videos.
Helping YouTube's cause, parents are also big fans of the portal. Indeed, over 94% of moms and dads said they loved or liked the brand, while it ranked thirteenth among parents.

Asbestos was a common insulator used up until the 1980s because it was heat and flame-resistant and durable while still being flexible enough to use in a wide range of applications requiring a flexible material. In Texas, it was commonly used in oil refineries as insulation for the pipes. People continue to be harmed by asbestos both from illnesses caused by past exposure and from exposure to asbestos in older buildings where it has not been removed.
They key danger from asbestos is the fibers it releases into the air as it crumbles from age or as it is disturbed during removal or construction. People who inhaled asbestos have developed mesothelioma, asbestosis and lung cancer. Symptoms may not develop for years after exposure.
When someone develops illnesses known to be caused by asbestos, their work history can be reviewed for jobs where they may have been exposed to asbestos. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer with a history of asbestos exposure, contact Black Law today for a free consultation.

Sanctions Against Russia To Stay Until Minsk Agreement Implemented in Full - Merkel
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko address a news conference at the Chancellery in Berlin, Germany, Feb. 1, 2016.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has ruled out lifting EU sanctions against Russia before full cease-fire is implemented in eastern Ukraine, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.
"We still don't have a sustainable cease-fire, which is naturally a prerequisite for the implementation of different points in the Minsk agreement," Merkel is reported as saying.
The Minsk agreement was negotiated in the Belarus capital in September 2014 and February 2015 by the leaders of Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France. The agreement includes provisions to deliver a full cease-fire, return control of borders to Ukraine, withdraw heavy weaponry and to hold free elections in the region.
The first package of sanctions against Russia was introduced by the EU following the Kremlin's annexation of Crimea in March 2014. Last December, the EU prolonged sanctions until July 31 2015.

YOU DON'T GO TO Mexico City for rest and relaxation. With a sprawling metropolitan area of 21 million people, a history dating to the 14th century, and some of the most rewarding cuisine in the world, it's better to think of a trip to Mexico City as a great fairground ride: You'll start with trepidation, finish breathless and spent, and before your head stops spinning, you'll find yourself wondering how long before you can do it again.
A destination this big requires a little strategy. First, remember to pace yourself. Neighborhoods like Roma and Polanco are wonderfully walkable, but the city is at roughly the same altitude as Aspen, so take it slow. Second, stick to using your Uber app or having your hotel or restaurant call you a sitio taxi (they charge about $15 an hour and will wait while you tour or shop). For safety and security reasons, never hail a cab on the street. Finally, it's impossible to see all of the city's highlights in a weekend, so don't even try. Mexico City has been there for nearly 700 years, and it will be there when you come back.
9:30 a.m. Walk five minutes down Tonalá and along the Avenida Álvaro Obregón to Delirio for a traditional Mexican pastry called a concha (Ave. Monterrey 116-b, Roma,delirio.mx). For a little hair of the dog, try a café correcto—espresso fortified with rompope, an egg-enriched Mexican liqueur. After breakfast, buy some jars of the house-made salsa de chili morita to take home to friends. Toward the end of the block, at 122 Monterrey, is the low-rise apartment building where, in 1951, beat icon William Burroughs shot and killed his wife in what was allegedly a drunken game of "William Tell" gone wrong.
10:30 a.m. Call a taxi for the 30-minute ride to Mercado de la Merced, the immense public market whose main building is nearly four football fields long and surrounded by outdoor booths selling toys, flowers, meat, chilies and pretty much everything under the sun. At lunchtime, look for stands inside the western edge of the building packed with people eating tacos and bowls of brick red birria, a spicy stew (and some say, hangover cure) usually made with beef or goat. To go truly deep into local foodways and market culture, sign up for a tour with Eat Mexico ( eatmexico.com, from $85).
1 p.m. Walk three blocks north from the market to Corregidora and turn left. After about 15 minutes you'll emerge on the southwest corner of the Zócalo, Mexico City's vast central square, with a monumentally scaled flag flying at its center. Walk past the massive edifice of the Palacio Nacional, the seat of the federal government, toward the Mexico City Metropolitan Cathedral. Follow the pedestrian path to the Templo Mayor Museum, site of the main temple of the Aztec capital Tenochtitlan and a Unesco World Heritage site (Seminario 8, templomayor.inah.gob.mx).
2:30 p.m. Recharge with a rich hot chocolate and a freshly baked pastry at Restaurante El Cardenal, two blocks off the northeast corner of the Zócalo (Palma 23,restauranteelcardenal.com). To get your Aztec on, try the escamoles, or ant eggs, sauteed with butter and served with tortillas.
3:30 p.m. Time to do a little shopping at the Downtown Mexico hotel, just a block over and half a block down, where the collection of boutiques in the spectacularly renovated 17th-century palace lean toward Mexican-made high fashion and design (Isabel La Católica 30, Centro; theshops.mx). Don't miss Carla Fernandez's edgy clothing or the arts and crafts at Parakata Galería Michoacana.
5:30 p.m. At this point, you've earned a siesta. Take a car for the 20-minute trip back to your hotel for a nap or a massage. If you're the restless sort, wander the shops and galleries in the blocks surrounding La Valise.
7:30 p.m. Take a walk through Roma to the up-and-coming neighborhood of Juárez, which has seen an influx of cool shops and restaurants. Turn left on Calle Orizaba and walk four blocks north, through Plaza Río de Janeiro with its full-size replica of Michelangelo's David. Make a right on Calle Liverpool, and then another on Havre. About halfway down the block on the right is Caballería (Calle Havre, 64. Col. Juárez,caballeria.mx), a four-story townhouse dedicated largely to men's goods and services (there's a barbershop and tattoo parlor on-site). On the first level is Common People, which features streetwear and homegoods such as sets of sleek, cylindrical mezcal cups made by a master potter.
8 p.m. For dinner, go to Paprika, just around the corner from Caballeria, where chef Josefina Santacruz works with spices common to Mexico and the Maghreb—cinnamon, cumin and chilies, expanding the range of Middle Eastern food in the city (Marsella 61, Col. Juarez, +52 55 5533-0303). Start with a Beirut cocktail, which goes down like a turbocharged negroni, and then move on to berenjena charmoula—a cocotte of roasted, mashed eggplant with Greek yogurt, cracked wheat and herbs. Sfija—wedges of flatbread topped ground beef and lamb, cilantro and pickled red onions—are delicious.
10 p.m. Take a car to Pulqueria los Insurgentes for a taste of pulque—a bland, viscous drink made from the fermented sap of the agave plant that people from this region have drunk for 1,000 years (Ave. de los Insurgentes Sur 226, Roma Norte,pulquerialosinsurgentes.tv). After showing your ID (and maybe getting patted down), make your way to the roof deck for fresh air and a mug of curado, which is pulque flavored with fruit or nuts. It's just a five-minute walk back to the hotel.
