<p><h3>The Course</h3> <p>In this
two-day course we will present you with an opportunity to assess
the opportunities for strawbale building in your life, whether you
wish to build your own home, construct a chook shed or just decide
if strawbale is the right medium for your project.</p>
<p>We take you through the theory and design of strawbale
building as well as actually building part of a strawbale structure
and well discuss load-bearing versus pole frame structures, various
wall shapes, foundations, plastering options, floors - earthen,
concrete and wood.</p> <p>You will learn through
lectures, practical activities, case studies, videos, slides and a
wealth of printed material.</p> <p>In past workshops we
have built an extension to the homestead at The Food Forest, a
commercial coldroom, the 'Eco Gazebo', the 'Studio', an
indoor/outdoor food preparation entertainment area and a beautiful
sculptured garden wall using this extraordinary medium.</p>

<p><p>A concentrated introduction to the design
principles and techniques of this complete system for the
sustainable design for homes, neighbourhoods, gardens, businesses,
farms, waste re-use, economics, community development and energy
management. The workshop will focus on practical choices we can all
make in our daily lives both at home and in the workplace, using
permaculture design and action to make a difference and to create a
more resilient and planet-friendly future for ourselves,

<p><h3>Why study permaculture?</h3>
<p><strong>Join us for internationally-recognised
permaculture training that will help you design sustainable,
abundant homes, businesses, professions and
communities.</strong></p> <p>Whilst population
growth and consumption levels are pushing our Planet towards a
catastrophic environmental tipping point, permaculture design
offers a way that we, as individuals and communities, can take
control of our future and live sustainably.</p> <p>It
is a design system which draws upon the great truths of traditional
knowledge, modern scientific understandings and the ethics of a
peaceful and democratic society. Developed in Australia in the late
70s by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, it is now taught in over
150 countries. Over a million people have graduated from Design
Courses and are using this tool to build resilience and diversity
into their lives, their local communities & in the
workplace.
David Suzuki dubs permaculture 'Australia's greatest
intellectual export'.
Permaculture can be employed by anyone, whatever
profession or skill, on any scale: from individual,
household, urban or rural, to balconies, backyards &
neighbourhoods, to farms, factories, businesses, schools and cities
anywhere on the planet and in any climate. It offers a sustainable
landscape, dignified human-scale living and self-reliant children
who have the confidence to design a sustainable future for
themselves.
Permaculture is based on three ethics: Care of the Earth, Care
of Community and Acceptance of personal responsibility for
consumption and population. Many practical design principles,
technologies and strategies have evolved to make permaculture one
of the most accessible and dynamic solutions to the issues we face
in the 21st Century.
Permaculture Design Certificate
This 10 day intensive design course, taught at The Food Forest
will present you with an opportunity to consider your life in a new
light and give you increased confidence and many skills needed to
design a sustainable and meaningful place for your future.
David Holmgren will present during the first teaching block to lay
the foundation.
You will work face-to-face with a group of motivated fellow
students with diverse skills and backgrounds and learn through
lectures, practical activities, small group work, case studies,
film, field trips and games. In addition to our teaching team, you
will have access to a wide range of printed and digital
resources.
The extended format of the course is designed to cause minimum
disruption to other parts of your life. It will allow you to absorb
and practise skills from one learning block before moving on to the
next.
In The Food Forest PDC you will work on a major design
project of your choice. We will take you through the
design process, from the brief to completi...

In May 2022, Elon Musk
declared overzealous use of the DMCA a plague on humanity.
As CEO of Twitter, Musk understands that his platform has
certain obligations if it wishes to maintain protection from
liability under copyright law. On receipt of a properly formatted
and submitted takedown notice, allegedly infringing content must be
taken down.
A dispute that boiled over yesterday began with these two steps
but ended up with the copyright holder having his account
suspended, presumably by Musk himself or on his instructions.
The two people at the heart of the original dispute are both
Twitter users. Since most tweets relating to the initial dispute
have since been deleted or disabled, here we rely on archived and
cached copies for evidence. Since one users account has been
suspended, links to the account and its tweets are included but are
likely to fail.

Adrien Mauduit (@NightLights_AM, Norway)
operates the currently-suspended Night Lights account. He describes
himself as a professional nature cinematographer,
astrophotographer, and an Aurora chasing specialist.
A review of Mauduits recent posts suggests that his Twitter
account is mainly used to post content he creates himself, usually
videos or photographs.
Mauduits
pinned tweet is/was a stunning short video dated March 4, 2023.
Its described as a double solar storm punch that created a G3 (max)
geomagnetic storm. This video sits at the heart of the dispute.
Posted on March 3, the video was well received. Comments

I love it when creationists decide to attack
evolution by way of developmental biology. Yes, come into my
parlor, said the spider to the fly. Our home is our terrible
weakness, Im sure youll be able to frolic and thrive in our little
domainheh heh heh
This fellow, David W. Swift, whose knowledge of development is
maybe an inch deep and obtained entirely from information taken
from basic textbooks, followed up by a conscious misreading of a
few scientific papers with an eye to extracting only bits and
pieces that support his conclusion, has decided that embryology is
evidence against evolution.
It is quite well known that at a relatively early stage the
embryos of a wide range of vertebrates look similar a so-called
phylotypic stage and this is generally regarded as evidence of
common ancestry.
What is not well known is that before this stage the early
embryonic development of vertebrates is very diverse right from the
earliest stages which clearly refutes their common ancestry.
Hes partly right. It is well known that there are embryonic
similarites between vertebrates, and of course thats
evidence for common ancestry. There is a lot of evidence for common
ancestry, and that is one small piece of it.
Hes wrong when he says that it is not well known that
early development is more diverse. Any developmental biology
textbook that discusses comparative embryology is going to tell you
that. We developmental biologists ALL know that. Its been
a hot button topic of discussion for at least 50 years, probably
longer. Mr Swift perused a select bunch of papers and just skipped
over any that brought the topic up, so he could pretend he was the
perceptive creationist who noticed, for the first time, a weakness
in evolutionary theory? Such arrogance. Its especially annoying
because he says nothing novel that he couldnt have found
prominently discussed in the scientific literature.
Also, the known evidence that early development is a complex
process with diverse patterns of execution in different organism
does not refute common ancestry. The creationists seem unable to
get into their heads that a short-sighted process driven by chance
as a core mechanism, running over millions and billions of years,
is going to generate complexity and diversity by its very nature.
Observing that something is complex and diverse is evidence that an
evolutionary process created it, rather than an engineer.
The Flathub organization (in the form of Robert McQueen) has
posted a lengthy
update on the state of Flathub and its plans for the coming
year.
So far, the GNOME Foundation has acted as an
incubator and legal host for Flathub even though its not purely a
GNOME product or initiative. Distributing software to end users
along with processing and forwarding payments and donations also
has a different legal profile in terms of risk exposure and
nonprofit compliance than the current activities of the GNOME
Foundation. Consequently, we plan to establish an independent legal
entity to own and operate Flathub which reduces risk for the GNOME
Foundation, better reflects the independent and cross-desktop
interests of Flathub, and provides flexibility in the future should
we need to change the structure.
In the early morning hours of March 7, 2023, new leaked (not
officially released or verified as of this writing) UAP related
imagery was published by Jeremy Corbell & George Knapp, during
Episode #7 of their Weaponized Podcast. In this
episode, Corbell and Knapp revealed what they call the Baghdad
Phantom UAP.
Here is their breakdown (images released are below):
A Summary
Here is the press release sent out by Corbell and Knapp, first
published on WeaponizedPodcast.com.
Investigative journalists Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp
obtained and are revealing for the first time, US military filmed
UFO footage from an active conflict zone; imaged by the US Air
Force using a Reaper drone. This UFO has been officially designated
by the Air Force as a UAP (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena), but
is NOT yet currently part of the active United States UAP
investigations; seemingly due to obstacles of information-flow
after collection. The Department of Defenses AARO (All-domain
Anomaly Resolution Office) is NOW aware of this case.
You can hear and see more about this case on
Corbells and Knapps new podcast and show called WEAPONIZED. Here are some details about
this military-filmed UFO
DATE / TIME 14 May 2022
LOCATION These 6 images (and footage) were taken
north of the city of Baghdad, Iraq.
DURATION The video is 7 seconds long. The
cylindrical UAP labeled THE BAGHDAD PHANTOM UAP is seen in transit
under intelligent control in controlled flight moving in a stable
lateral direction across the video (from left to right from the
viewers perspective).
IMAGING TYPE Thermographic / Forward Looking
Infrared (FLIR)
Researchers and chefs at the University of Reading aim to
encourage British consumers and food producers to switch to bread
containing faba
beans (commonly known as broad beans), making it healthier and
less damaging to the environment.
[...] Five teams of researchers within the University of
Reading, along with members of the public, farmers, industry, and
policy makers, are now working together to bring about one of the
biggest changes to UK food in generations.
[...] This is by increasing pulses in the UK diet, particularly
faba beans, due to their favourable growing conditions in the UK
and the sustainable nutritional enhancement they provide.
Despite being an excellent alternative to the ubiquitous
imported soya bean, used currently in bread as an improver, the
great majority of faba beans grown in the UK go to animal feed at
present.
[...] "96% of people in the UK eat bread, and 90% of that is
white bread, which in most cases contains soya. We've already
performed some experiments and found that faba bean flour can
directly replace imported soya flour and some of the wheat flour,
which is low in nutrients. We can not only grow the faba beans
here, but also produce and test the faba bean-rich bread, with
improved nutritional quality."
The result is that Europeans are experiencing an energy crisis,
and Germany in particular faces deindustrialisation. The Ukraine
situation is not just a NATO proxy war with Russia. It is also a
trade and energy war inflicted by the US on Europe.
Although the impact of the war is acutely felt by Europe,
inflation continues to increase across the Western countries,
including the US, and their economies are in crisis.
While the sanctions and war are having an inflationary impact,
they serve as convenient cover for the effects of a massive
increase in quantitative easing that occurred in late 2019 and in
2020. The US Federal Reserve created almost a fifth of all US dollars
ever created in 2020. According to economist Professor Richard Werner, central
banks around the world also pumped more money into their economies
during this period. He concludes that central banks are largely
responsible for the inflation we now see.
Financial markets were collapsing in October 2019, and the
crisis reached a head in February 2020 with a massive crash. Prior
to COVID and then under cover of this bogus public health crisis,
trillions of dollars were pumped into the economy and...

Liberation Theology was a crucial ally in the 1979 Sandinista
Popular Revolution. However, in allying with elites and US
capitalists, some traditional, dogmatic Catholic leaders brutally
persecuted those who helped the poor and bucked the system. Their
corruption surfaced again in the failed coup of 2018. 222
lawbreakers (including some former Sandinistas who were proven to
have sabotaged the government via roadblocks, murder and even
torture) were tried, convicted, imprisoned, and recently released
to the US.

At least 15 people have been killed, with dozens missing after
torrential rains and landslides hit Indonesia's Natuna region on
the edge of the South China Sea. Pictures and video from the
national disaster mitigation agency (BNPB) showed landslides
cascading through forested areas and dumping mud and debris on
houses on the remote Serasan island. Bits of metal from torn-off
roofs and fallen trees were also visible following the disaster on
Monday. The location of the landslide and continued rain were
complicating search and rescue efforts, the BNPB said on Twitter.
Communications had also been cut off, it said. The Natuna Search
and Rescue Agency's head, Abdul Rahman, told the AFP news agency
that 15 people had been confirmed dead and 50 were missing.

After back-to-back winter storms overwhelmed many of
California's mountain communities with snow, another round of
snowfall is headed to the Sierra Nevada region, while the state's
hard-hit southern San Bernardino County will get a reprieve as some
residents who remain trapped by walls of snow are concerned about
their dwindling supplies. The Sierra Nevada mountain range could
see 1 to 3 inches of snow through Tuesday, following a weekend that
brought as much as 38 inches of snow over a 24-hour period to Soda
Springs in Nevada County and 31 inches to Donner Peak in Placer
County.
A new program can streamline the process of creating, launching
and analysing computational chemistry experiments. This piece of
software, called AQME, is distributed for
free under an open source licence, and could contribute to making
calculations more efficient, as well as accelerating automated
analyses.
We estimate time savings of around 70% in routine computational
chemistry protocols, explains lead author Juan Vicente Alegre Requena,
at the Institute of Chemical Synthesis and Homogeneous Catalysis
(ISQCH) in Zaragoza, Spain. In modern molecular simulations,
studying a single reaction usually involves more than 500
calculations, he explains. Generating all the input files,
launching the calculations and analysing the results requires an
extraordinary amount of time, especially when unexpected errors
appear.
Therefore, Alegre and his colleagues decided to code a piece of
software to skip several steps and streamline calculations. Among
other advantages, AQME works with simple inputs, instead of the
optimised 3D chemical structures usually required by other
solutions. Its exceptionally easy, says Alegre. AQME is installed
in a couple of minutes, then the only indispensable input is as a
simple Smiles string.
Smiles is a system developed by chemist and coder Dave Weininger in
the late 1980s, which converts complex chemical structures into
a succession of letters and numbers that is machine readable. This
cross-compatibility could allow integration with chemical databases
and machine-learning solutions, most of which include datasets in
Smiles format, explains Alegre.
Dedicated to ending the HIV epidemic dr. moupali das, MD, MPH,
executive director, HIV clinical research, gilead sciences.
Dr. Moupali Das, MD, MPH, is Executive Director, HIV Clinical
Research, in the Virology Therapeutic Area, at Gilead Sciences
(https://www.gilead.com/),
where she leads the pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) clinical drug
development program, including evaluating the safety and efficacy
of a long-acting, twice yearly, subcutaneous injection being
studied for HIV prevention. Her responsibilities also include
expanding the populations who may benefit from PrEP.
Dr. Das has led high-performing teams in academic medicine,
public health, implementation science, and cross-functionally in
drug development. She has successfully helped develop, implement,
and evaluate how to better test, link to care, increase virologic
suppression, and improve quality of life for people with HIV, and
to prevent HIV in those who may benefit from PrEP.
During the COVID19 pandemic, Dr. Das assisted her colleagues in
the COVID-19 treatment program, leading the evaluation of a
COVID-19 treatment for use in pregnant women and children from the
compassionate use program.
After completing her undergraduate degree in Biochemical
Sciences at Harvard College, medical school and internal medicine
residency training at Columbia University and New York Presbyterian
Hospital, Dr. Das came to University of California, San Francisco
(UCSF) for fellowship training in Infectious Diseases and to
University of California, Berkeley for her MPH in Epidemiology. She
cared for HIV patients at San Francisco Generals storied Ward 86
clinic and attended on the inpatient ID Consult Service. She is
recognized internally and externally for her expertise in
epidemiology, public health, advocacy, and community
engagement.
Prior to joining Gilead, Dr. Das developed a novel
population-based indicator, community viral load (CVL), to evaluate
the impact of treatment as prevention. Her CVL research was the
basis for using viral suppression to evaluate the effectiveness of
President Barack Obamas National HIV/AIDS Strategy. She also served
on the Institute of Medicine Committee on Data Systems for
Monitoring HIV/AIDS care.

The resumption of work on the controversial EF-170 railway
project also known as the Ferrogro in the Brazilian Amazon has
sparked demands for a proper consultation process from leaders of
the Indigenous groups who will be directly impacted by the railway
lines construction. The same leaders have also stated that they
will fight for reparations for the impacts being felt on their
territory because of the project, even though it has yet to come to
fruition. The railway has a planned trajectory of 933 kilometers
(580 miles) stretching from the city of Sinop, in the state of Mato
Grosso, to Miritituba, in the northern state of Par, a strategic
region for the flow of agribusiness commodities that has seen high
levels of deforestation. The Ferrogro was highlighted as a priority
project in the portfolio that the Brazilian governments Ministry of
Transport presented to the press Jan. 18. During the press
conference, Transport Minister Renan Filho stated the goal of
increasing the size of the railway sector in Brazils transport
system to 40% by 2035 from its current standpoint of less than 20%.

The verdict was part of a
preliminary hearing and set a precedent on how Twitter can be
defamatory towards individuals and public figures in Britain
(Wikimedia/Foreign and Commonwealth Office)
A British court has ruled that a tweet sent by the author and
commentator Ed Husain had defamed a senior leader of the Muslim
Council of Britain.
Husain, also known as Mohammed Mahbub Husain, founded the
defunct Quilliam foundation and advised former British Prime
Minister Tony Blair for several years.
In November 2020, Husain posted a tweet that claimed Miqdaad
Versi, a Muslim Council of Britain spokesperson who leads the
council's media monitoring unit, was "pro-Hamas and pro-Iran".
'For too long, there are some who have smeared with impunity
[against] ordinary Muslims. This judgement puts an important stake
in the ground'
- Miqdaad Versi, MCB
The tweet Husain sent appeared as a "quote tweet" in November
2020, which included a screenshot of a tweet posted by Versi, who
criticised Conservative journalist Fraser Nelson on how his
magazine, the Spectator, covered Muslims and Islam.
Husain later deleted his Tweet but contended Versi's claims in
court and told the judge to read 15 tweets beyond the immediate
thread as context. These included a tweet by British
parliamentarian Zarah Sultana, followed by tweets from Versi, which
criticised French President Macron and France's policies towards
Muslims.
But last Friday, Judge Lewis ruled
in a preliminary trial that he was "satisfied that the natural and

Dozens of Palestinians were
wounded during Israeli
settlers' attack on the village of Huwwara, north of the occupied
West Bank, on Monday.
The settlers stormed the village in the evening, hurling stones
at Palestinians, their cars and properties. Palestine's Red

rushed to the emergency department of Ibn Sina hospital.
Six children were wounded from stones hurled at them by
settlers, with one sustaining injury in the head. They were all
rushed to a hospital in Nablus.

An Idaho family was lucky to escape an attack by an angry moose
while they were out on their snowmobiles in the Palisades, east of
Idaho Falls. Jeremiah Bigelow posted the incident on his Instagram
account, describing how the moose came between him and his brother,
who was ahead of him, on the trail they were riding. The moose
initially charged Jeremiah, who had his son and other friends
behind him. Jeremiah quickly put his snowmobile in reverse but got
stuck as his son's snowmobile did not have a reverse gear.
Jeremiah's brother realized that Jeremiah was stuck and tried to
draw the moose's attention away from the group, thinking he could
quickly speed away. But right as he jumps back on the snowmobile,
it dies, and he is forced to dive to his safety, narrowly avoiding
the charging moose.

of those who made their way into the US Capitol on January 6, 2021
are "totally innocent," former US President Donald Trump has

of the events. Carlson had earlier been granted access by
Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy to more than 40,000 hours
of security video records from the Capitol on the day of the riots.
On Monday, the Fox News host shared some of those clips on his

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday slammed
International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) chief Rafael Grossi
for saying attacks on nuclear facilities are "outlawed." Israel has
a history of launching covert attacks against Iranian nuclear
facilities, and Netanyahu has been threatening to take more overt
action. US officials have also said President Biden will keep a
military option on the table to prevent Iran from acquiring a
nuclear weapon even though the Pentagon and CIA recently
acknowledged Tehran is not seeking a bomb. Grossi just returned
from a visit to Iran, where he secured a pledge for the IAEA to
receive more access to Iranian nuclear facilities. When asked about
the US and Israeli threats, Grossi said that "any military attack
on a nuclear facility is outlawed, is out of the normative
structures that we all abide by."
This past month a poll held by ABC and the Washington Post with
a 37 year history asked Americans if they were better or worse off
in the two years since Biden entered the White House. If you were
to ask Biden this question, you would be regaled with a flurry of
great news about a fantastic economic recovery, epic jobs numbers,
falling inflation and a dropping deficit. When you ask actual
average citizens, you get a much different reply. According to the
ABC/Post poll, Americans say they are worse off than they have ever
been, with the most negative data in the history of the survey.
Over 40% of respondents indicated their financial situation was
worse under Biden. Only 16% of people said they were better off.
Not only that, but 60% of Democrats polled said they did NOT want
Joe Biden as their candidate in 2024, and 62% of all people polled
said they would be disappointed or even angry if Biden remained in
the White House for a second term. This is astounding. How does

annual physical exam for the 2022-2023 school year.
The goal of this list is to comprehensively
catalogue North Korea's current inventory of vehicles and
equipment. In an effort to streamline the list and avoid
unnecessary confusion, civilian trucks towing military trailers and
military trucks on which missiles, rockets or radars are based are
not included in the list. If several configurations of a vehicle
with one designation are known, they are added as such. The part
within apostrophes refers to an unoffical name, such as the US DoD
M-xxxx designation system (referring to the first year the system
was identified). A year in square brackets after the designation of
a vehicle refer to its perceived date of inception. When available,
the range (of missiles) are added in square brackets. All vehicles
listed are presumed to still be in use with the Korean People's
Army. This list is updated as additional vehicle types are
uncovered.

A septuagenarian woman in Telangana died after she was attacked
by a troop of more than 20 monkeys. The victim, has been identified
as 70-year old Chataraboina Narsavva of Ramareddy village in
Kamareddy district. The incident took place while the victim was
cleaning utensils at her home on Friday. Local sources said that
the victim was all alone at home as her youngest daughter Suguna
had gone to attend a wedding function at the time. Despite
Narsavva's cries for help, the fear-stricken neighbours made no
attempt to go to her rescue. They shut themselves inside their
houses until the monkeys fled. The old woman suffered serious
injuries on her chest, back and limbs. It was only after Suguna
returned home a little while later that the old woman was taken to
hospital. Narsavva, however, succumbed to her injuries on Saturday
while undergoing treatment at the hospital.
In the latest signal of escalating tensions between Rwanda and
the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwandan President Paul Kagame
described a recent lethal shelling by the FDLR, a Hutu-led armed
group based In the Eastern DRC, into Rwandan territory as a
red line.
Following the conclusion of Rwandas civil war and genocide in
1994, conflicts between the DRC (then known as Zaire) and the
RPF-led government in Kigali began to escalate. The defeat of
Hutu-led armed groups forced its leadership and fighters to seek
refuge in the Eastern DRC to regroup and launch cross-border
attacks to weaken the Tutsi-led government in Rwanda, with the FDLR
representing the most veteran anti-Rwandan threat. The resulting
violence and instability within the Eastern DRC provinces of North
and South Kivu compelled a Rwandan-led invasion in 1996, with
support from neighboring states Uganda and Burundi during the First
Congo War.

I dont know if you listen to the Rest is Politics podcast, but
they recently started a new series in which they interview someone
who has played a leading role in politics or public life. Yesterday
it was Bertie Ahern. The whole thing is worth your time.
But for those without the time, Ive clipped down to what I think
are the most interesting (and from the point of view for future
development) and the most important sections towards the end and
transcribed them below.
One is the fact that for over a decade until just before
Christmas no British PM attended any of the East West institutions
set up under the Belfast Agreement. And the second is that anyone
calling for a border poll must learn lessons from Brexit.
Alastair Campbell: Do you
think these relationships Do you think it couldve happened in the
way it did if you hadnt had the gelling that went on between you
and Tony and Tony and Clinton and you and Clinton? There was a sort
of gelling there. Do you think these relationships mean
something?
Bertie Ahern: It wouldnt have
happened if this was left to the process and to the system. Even
with all our good people that we had with us, it wouldnt have
happened. At the end of day it was that we worked together.
Normally, in that kind of negotiation, Tony and I shouldve been
adversarial, we should have been fighting our causes and lines. And
thats what goes on all over the world and Ive been with a few
processes since and you see why very quickly why they dont work. We
were lucky that we got on well together. Can I quickly add that it
wasnt just 98, Tony and I had to live with this till 2007 until we
got the institutions up and running. It was that permanent meeting
[scenario], at European meetings, you know, formal ones, informal
ones, being able to go backwards and forwards between Dublin and
London. I would definitely hold the world record of Prime Minister
that were in Number Ten. No one could get near me Id say. About
fifty or sixty times.
Alastair Campbell: And where
do you think we are today? Were meeting on a day when theres been a
shooting of an off duty policeman in Omagh, as you say people
saying all the right things but a worrying sign. Youve got Rishi
Sunak trying to get some sort of deal over the line in relation to
something that will replace Johnsons mess, and maybe just a feeling
that were gonna have to norm...
The Trusted Platform Module (TPM) secure crypto-processor became
a topic for public debate in 2021 when Microsoft forced TPM 2.0
adoption as a minimum requirement for installing Windows 11. The
dedicated hardware controller should provide "extra hard" security
to data and cryptographic algorithms, but the official
specifications are bugged.
Security researchers recently discovered a couple of flaws in
the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 reference library
specification, two dangerous buffer overflow vulnerabilities that
could potentially impact billions of devices. Exploiting the flaws
is only possible from an authenticated local account, but a piece
of malware running on an affected device could do exactly that.
The two vulnerabilities are tracked as
CVE-2023-1017 and CVE-2023-1018, or as "out-of-bounds write" and
"out-of-bounds read" flaws. The issue was discovered within the TPM
2.0's Module Library, which allows writing (or reading) two "extra
bytes" past the end of a TPM 2.0 command in the
CryptParameterDecryption routine.
By writing specifically crafted malicious commands, an attacker
could exploit the vulnerabilities to crash the TPM chip making it
"unusable," execute arbitrary code within TPM's protected memory or
read/access sensitive data stored in the (theoretically) isolated
crypto-processor.
In other words, successful exploitation of the CVE-2023-1017 and
CVE-2023-1018 flaws could compromise cryptographic keys, passwords
and other critical data, making security features of modern,
TPM-based operating systems like
Windows 11 essentially useless or broken.

Im three months married now and part of this new life
chapter involved moving into my husbands apartment. We live in a
garage flat behind the home of a couple from church and Ive had fun
the past few months turning it from a bachelor pad to a cozy home
for two, plus a foster cat.
Becoming a wife has also meant becoming a homemaker,
and I mean that quite literally. As the partner with the most
flexible schedule, greater interest in housekeeping work, and
generally better skills, its my job to transform this apartment
into a home, which I dont mind. I could easily spend hours
(and dollars, if Im not careful) at local thrift stores hunting for
kitchen gadgets, dishes, and baskets. But thats the fun stuff.
Theres also the not-so-fun stuff: wiping up spilt milk, washing
dishes by hand (we have no dishwasher), and scrubbing the toilet.
Some chores are shared and I am a firm believer in the honey-do
list, but for the most part, keeping the home cute, clean, and
comfortable is my job.
As Im sure you can imagine, its been somewhat of an
adjustment, going from having shared chores with roommates and only
having to clean up behind myself to managing a full apartment. Ill
be honest that many mornings, my prayers revolve around asking for
help to have a better attitude about my daily chores. There are
times these tasks feel so mundane and I desperately would rather be
doing something more important like, say,
writing a Strong Towns article!
I havent had any grand epiphanies about the virtue of
daily work (if you have, please share). But I do find meaning in
the way that these little tasks make life easier for my

Struggling with debt can be overwhelming. Fortunately, there are
several ways out. Various debt relief companies work to lower your
debt and eventually clear it, granting you financial freedom. They
will come to you with awfully tempting offers. However, tread
carefully. Do not let the desire to clear your dent make you fall
victim to debt relief scams.
There are many cases of cons advertising debt relief companies
to take advantage of people struggling with debts. In the end, they
may leave you deeper in debt. With numerous factors to consider and
decisions to make, separating scam from legit can be tricky. If you
wonder is debt relief a scam, or is it legitimate?
So, are debt relief programs legit? Well, many organizations can
get you out of debt. Generally, the debt relief company will put up
an account where you will need to deposit a specified amount of
money for some time. They will recommend that you stop making your
routine payments as they negotiate to speed up the settlement
process. The hack is to convince creditors that you cannot clear
the entire loan amount. They will then use the savings account to
start negotiating and the loan-clearing process with your
creditors. Usually, debt relief companies charge between 15 to 25
percent of your debt.
Identify a Debt Relief Scam
Debt relief scams target individuals struggling with large loan
amounts and
low credit scores. Trusting a debt relief program without due
diligence can translate to more money loss and a worse credit
record. A legitimate company should take you through its debt
relief process, expected outcomes, and fees, among other crucial
details.

beaches, waterfalls, a sanctuary for giant clams, and the worlds
largest colony of Geoffreys rousette (Rousetteus amplexicaudatus),
a species of fruit-eating bat. A favorite getaway for Davao
residents as well as other domestic and foreign tourists, the
island can be reached from the city by passenger boat for less than
$1 in about 10 minutes. Taking a car across involves a longer trip
by ferry. This narrow passage of water, home to the popular
Paradise Island Park and Beach Resort, is also the site of a coral
reef that runs 300 meters across and 50 wide (980 by 160 feet),
known as the Paradise Reef. The reef hosts 79 species of hard
corals, 26 species of soft corals, and at least 100 species of reef
fish, according to a study commissioned by the resort owners. But a
massive bridge project, meant to boost tourist traffic from the
mainland to Samal, threatens to wipe out Paradise Reef if
construction pushes through, according to marine biologists and
environmentalists. Theyve called on Philippine President Ferdinand

Ready for a night out on the town in London? You want an
unforgettable experience without making any rookie mistakes. To
ensure you have the best time possible, check out our insider tips
on the dos and donts of London nightlife!
Where to Go for a Night Out in London
London has a vibrant nightlife, from Old City pubs
to modern bars and noisy music venues. Whether you are looking
for late night jazz or a pulsing nightclub, there are plenty of
options for an unforgettable evening in the capital. Here are some
of the top spots to go for a night out in
London.
Bars: When in doubt, head down to one of Londons famous public
houses also called pubs. There is usually no dress code or time
restrictions make sure you keep an eye on the clock though as these
will close earlier than nightclubs (generally at 11 PM). Pubs
provide an authentic atmosphere with traditional ales and ciders,
as well as craft beers, spirits and soft drinks.
Nightclubs: From the infamous Ministry of Sound to chic lingerie
modeling dive bars, London has a variety of options when it comes
to nightclubs. Most will charge cover fees so make sure you plan
ahead. These clubs feature DJs spinning cutting-edge music genres
such as EDM and drum & bass, with neon lights and flashy lasers
creating a unique atmosphere that cant be found at local bars.
Live Music Venues: Live music fans should take their time
exploring the citys venues ranging from traditional British music
halls such as The Borderline and Sohos Jazz Caf to newer spots like
The Courtyard Theatre near Shoreditch High Street Station. With

New emails uncovered by House Republicans probing the COVID-19
pandemic reveal the deceptive nature of Dr. Anthony Fauci. They
show he "prompted" or commissioned and had final approval on a
scientific paper written specifically in February 2020 to disprove
the theory that the virus leaked from a lab in Wuhan, China. Eight
weeks later, Fauci stood at a White House press conference
alongside President Donald Trump and cited that paper as evidence
that the lab leak theory was implausible while pretending it had
nothing to do with him and he did not know the authors.
A 6.0-magnitude earthquake jolted the southern Philippines on
Tuesday (Mar 7), the US Geological Survey said, but there were no
reports of casualties or major damage. The shallow quake struck at
about 2pm local time (0600 GMT), a few kilometres from Maragusan
municipality in the mountainous gold-mining province of Davao de
Oro on Mindanao island. Shallow earthquakes tend to cause more harm
than deeper ones, but local authorities said there were no reports
of major damage. Cherrylyn Dapiton of the Maragusan disaster office
confirmed there had been a landslide near a road, but it had not
affected anyone or blocked traffic.

Jocelyn knew only one way to live. Growing up
next to the Manombo Special Reserve in southeast Madagascar, his
family taught him from a young age to see the forest as a source of
income. His grandfather had been a logger, cutting trees for timber
and burning wood to make charcoal to sell. His grandfather taught
his father, and his father taught him.
It was dangerous work. He risked landing in jail for illegal
logging every time he ventured into the protected reserve. I needed
to feed my family, recalled Jocelyn, who doesnt use a surname; the
vegetables he grew near his house werent enough. He also needed
money for health care. Once, when his wife was pregnant and fell
ill, he sold all of their plates and pans to pay for treatment at a
government clinic. She wound up losing the baby anyway.
Then in 2019, Jocelyn went to a meeting that upended his life.
Representatives from an American nonprofit, Health In Harmony,
asked villagers who lived around the forest: What do you need from
the world as a thank you to continue to protect this precious
rainforest that the health of our planet depends on? The answers
across 31 villages were consistent: health care, job alternatives
and help growing food for their families.
Jocelyns wife, Falinety, holds Kristy as the family gathers for an
evening meal.
The following year, representatives from each of those villages
gathered in a soccer field to watch as their chiefs pressed inky
thumbs onto paper, signing an agreement that affirmed their
communities would stop encroaching on the forest. In return, Health
In Harmony began providing affordable health care through mobile
clinics and teaching residents how to grow more food and support
themselves without cutting down more trees.

Trevor Paglen wonders about this, and he makes art from
it.
To Paglen, art is a conversation with the past and the
future artifacts of how the world looks at a certain time and
place. In our time and place, its a world dogged by digital privacy
concerns, and so his art ranges from 19th-century style photos of
military drones circling like insects in the Nevada sky, to a
museum installation that provides a free wifi hotspot offering
anonymized browsing through a Tor network, to deep-sea diving
photos of internet cables tapped by the National Security
Agency.
Asking whether white people should curate African art anymore,
may be outdated. Instead we should ask: what is African art now and
does the category matter anymore?
In the last decade, US art institutions and museums have sought
to hire curators to work with their historical African art
collections, with varying success. In 2018, the Brooklyn Museum
faced widespread criticism from neighborhood activists and on
social media when it hired a white curator for its African art.
That the position was part-time, limited, and potentially
unrenewable seemed of significantly less importance. Two years
later, Brooklyn Museum and other museums confronted another set of
challenges against the backdrop of Black Lives Matter and a
pandemic. COVID-19 placed financial pressure on museums to cut
budgets, further halting efforts to expand and diversify staff,
while increased public recognition of incidents of habitual police
brutality against Black and Brown people renewed calls for museums
curatorial and administrative teams to reflect the communities that
they reside in and seek to serve.
It is in this context that I encountered an article, The Long View: Leadership at
a Critical Juncture for African Art in America, by art
historian and curator of African art, Susan Vogel. The article was
published in the academic journal African Arts, which is
peer-reviewed and defines the field. Vogel is a curator, art
historian, museum director, and professor with more than 50 years
experience, who worked in some of the most prominent art
institutions for the study and exhibition of African art in the US,
including the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Met), the Museum of
African Art (now the Africa Center), and Yale and Columbia
Universities.
The main takeaway from Vogels article is her displeasure with
the current standing and state of African art departments in
American museums. As she states, there is a void within current
curatorial leadership and management of African art collections
that has resulted in African art disappearing from public view in
the US. In the past few years there have been more than16 vacancies
for curators of African art. Only five of these positions have been
successfully filled; other museums have supposedly cut the
positions permanently. Vogel attempts to draw greater attention to
this reality, and to the recent hires, since few outside of museum
studies o...

[...] Arm's decision not to pursue a listing on the London Stock
Exchange this year has raised concerns that the UK market is not
doing enough to attract tech company stock offerings, with US
exchanges seen to offer higher profiles and valuations.
SoftBank Group Corp's founder and chief executive Masayoshi Son
said last year he would probably look to the tech-heavy Nasdaq
exchange for a potential Arm listing.
[...] "Arm is proud of its British heritage, and continues to
work with the British Government," he said. "We will continue to
invest and play a significant role in the British tech
ecosystem."
A Government spokesperson said: "The UK is taking forward
ambitious reforms to the rules governing its capital markets,
building on our continued success as Europe's leading hub for
investment, and the second largest globally."
They added the UK "continues to attract some of the most
innovative and largest companies in the world" and acknowledged
Arm's commitment to its UK presence with more jobs and
investment.
[...] Russ Shaw CBE, founder of Tech London Advocates and Global
Tech Advocates, said Arm's statement offered "glimpses of hope" for
its commitment to its British roots, but Arm and SoftBank's
decision to opt for a sole US listing is "a significant blow to the
UK tech sector".
[...] He added Arm's decision "must be upheld as a case study
for the UK Government of how 'not to do it'" - citing the company's
sale to SoftBank in 2016 as a factor determining its US-only
listing.
"Nations like the US and China that recognise the strategic
value of chip companies would not have allowed such decisions to be
made - then or now - and the UK must now endeavour to proactively
protect its semiconductor industry," said Mr Shaw.
The Cambridge-based British semiconductor maker could file
papers in April to go public later in 2023, according to
Reuters.
Its been a pretty lackluster market for IPOs ever since Russia
invaded Ukraine in February 2022. Since then, investors have been

It has certainly become timely to discuss a sensible work week
regulation system. It really needs to be about optimizing
outputs. We have in each week exactly 168 hours or 42 four
hour shifts. Not a bad way to look at it. I also think
that the four hour shift should be the prime unit. I have
already posted that our so called minimum wage needs to be set
around a guaranteed four hour base shift that pays base costs.
Clearly we still have with this either five days of two four
hour shifts or alternately four days of two four hour shifts and
perhaps thgree days of three four hour shifts. Plenty of
flexibility and overtime can be in two hour addons.
The key goal should be four days on and three days off to
fully recharge. To this end we can have two three shift days
in there.
The big payoff is that four on will fully drain your energy
while three off will also fully recharge your energy. Also a
mandatory break period allows mind resting between shifts if
planned peroperly. This can be really important for all mind
work because hte brain actually needs a short term recharge.
And no alcohol in particular unless you want to wreak
yourself.
This is driven first by our biology and do understand any
rules fighting it will smiply be gamed. We have long since
understood that letting workers run at their own pace is best and
letting them keep up with each other while rewarding group
performance alone.

LAGOS MARCH 7TH (URHOBOTODAY)-The immediate-past

His Media Assistant, Monoyo Edon in a statement made
available to newsmen on Monday, noted that the former governor is
still in the PDP and has no plan of leaving the party, stressing
that he is working for the partys victory in the gubernatorial and
House of Assembly elections on Saturday.
Read the full statement below: The attention of His
Excellency, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, CON, the Immediate Past
Governor of Delta State and Chieftain of the PDP has been drawn to
some fake news circulating from the propaganda mill of the
opposition in some section of the social media that he has
abandoned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to an unnamed
party.
His Excellency, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, CON, is unbothered by
such fake news which come aplenty during electioneering period but
it has become expedient to erase whatever cheap gains the
opposition aimed to reap from it by deflating the lies ahead of the
gubernatorial and state legislature elections on Saturday March 11,
2023.
The two-time immediate past Governor of Delta State is still
in the PDP and dont have any plans of exiting the party. Dr.
Uduaghan is more than ever committed to the ideals of the PDP and
is working assiduously with other faithfuls to deliver victory for
his gubernatorial candidate, the Rt. Hon Sheriff Oborevwori and all
House of Assembly candidates on Saturday, March 11.
He enjoins the general public to disregard such fictitious
news and other propaganda been peddled against the party, assuring
that the party will put an excellent show at the polls and through
Gods grace, Deltans will choose the PDP over other

dust bin.
This is to officially inform the general public that
there is no iota of truth in the rumours going round that Senator
James Manager has left the Peoples Democratic Party to join
APC.
This is the handwork of mischief makers and it should be
thrown into the waste bin.
Senator Manager as the pioneer State Chairman of the party, he
cant and will never destroy the house he laboured to build.
He is the Father of the Party in Delta State and he will
continue to play that fatherly role as was displayed in the last
Presidential and the National Assembly elections.
He was one of the few Leaders who won his unit, ward and Local
Government Area in the last elections and thats an indication that
he is serious minded and a committed party man.
I passionately appeal to all his supporters and
loyalists not to be deceived by that false alarm. We should all be
mindful of the fact that the rumour mongering mill is well
activated now to spread unfounded rumours as an instrument to

But it happened in the public glare as
governorship candidates of both parties go about appealing to
the Obidients to vote for them in March 11th election. This is
desperation taking too far.
How do you expect members of Labour Party that has Ken

their principal and vote for you?
Most embarrassing is that both candidates have printed posters
with the logo of Labour Party embedded in it telling electorates
that the Obidients are joing forces with them.
It was reported that the Delta State APC Governorship candidate
Obarisi Ovie Omo-Agege, along with his supporters and

semiconductor manufacturers must explain how they are going to

A
study commissioned by the RoIs Shared Island Initiative and
carried out by the Economic and Social Research Institute, (ESRI)
was published on 6th March. The conclusion is that Northern Ireland
is less welcoming to migrants than the South even though there are
fewer of them. Why? Well there is a direct correlation between a
positive view of the future, and attitudes to immigration, and
surprise, surprise, people in the North are less positive than the
South.
In the study, questions were asked around 7 matrices positive
and negative, such as filling work vacancies, cultural enrichment
and welfare burden and worsening crime. Respondents in the South
were twice as likely to display positive attitudes to migrants
compared to respondents from the North, even though 20% of the RoI
working population was born abroad compared to only 10% in NI.
In both jurisdictions, the percentage of migrants working is
proportionally higher than the native population. This is because
migrants tend to be better educated and skilled. The resentment
comes out of frustration over the future prospects of the native
population and whether they feel any political alienation.
In the RoI, the percentage of people who think their lives will
get better is 46%. In the North it is 24%. Again nearly twice as
many in the North think their lives will get worse (13% v 8%). 21%
of people in the South, think their voice is heard (by politicians
etc). Only 10% think that in the North.
Some further explanation about the gap in attitudes comes from a
separate ESRI study quoted by David McWilliams in the Irish Times
at the weekend. The startling fact is that healthy life expectancy
in NI is only the same as Sierra Leone and is worse than average
healthy life term in India. It is 17 years lower than in the South
(NI 53 years, India 60 years, RoI, 70 years).
Northern Ireland is one of the few places in Europe where the
health and education matrices are going backwards not forwards. In
NI 20% of 25 to 34 year olds have low educational attainment. In
RoI its 7.4% for the same cohort. 93% of 15 to 19 year olds in the
South are in full time education compared to 74% in the North.
Its unfortunate that the relative deprivation of the North is
fueling racism and lack of tolerance even though NI is 95% white.
Its also clear that politics is failing the people in North.

We have always had a problem with carnivores and
it is only in the past two centuries that we have realy suppressed
their numbers. Unfortunately they are now recovering, mostly
because their food supply has also recovered.
The big problem is that we need to fully integrate
our animal husbandry with our agriculture. Venison, wild
turkeys and Wild pigs in particular need to be handled
everywhere.
Then we have carnivores who are all opportunistic
hunters. Coyotes and cougars are a real danger to children who need
to be trained and always paired with a dog if doing walk
about. Wolves are dangerous to anyone when they are
hungry. Do not run alone in the winter.
That should keep you safe. To do better,
study the animals habits.
It is still eary days and we need to do more to
scare them as well. .
Carnivores attacks on humans are becoming
more common, and climate change isnt helping
Rising population has led to increased human
encroachment on natural habitats, but climate change is also

Some influential people in the open-source community are pushing
for the adoption of a one-stop app store for Linux-based operating
systems. The store would be built on Flatpak, a popular software deployment
and package management utility, and it could provide customers with
the same user-friendly approach other popular app stores in the
consumer market are known for.
[...] The
proposal's main goal is to "promote diversity and
sustainability" in the Linux desktop community by "adding payments,
donations and subscriptions" to the Flathub app store. Flathub is
the standard app repository for Flatpak, a project described as a
"vendor-neutral service" for Linux application development and
deployment.
[...] The universal app store proponents say that "a healthy
application ecosystem is essential for the success of the OSS
desktop," so that end-users can "trust and control" their data and
development platforms on the device they are using. Flathub has
been jointly built by the GNOME foundation and KDE, and it isn't
the only app store available in the Linux world.
Alternative solutions like Canonical's Snaps, however, are
sitting under the control of a single corporation and aren't
designed as a universal Linux app store from the get-go. Canonical
has recently decided that neither Ubuntu, nor the other
Ubuntu-based distros (Kubuntu, Lubuntu, etc.), will give their
official support to Flatpak. Users can manually add the tool after
installing the operating system, though.
Besides providing a universal app store for the entire Linux
world, Flatpak supporters also want to "incentivize participation
in the Linux application ecosystem," and remove financial barriers
that prevent diverse participation. For this reason, the proponents
are planning to add a new way to send donations and payments via
Stripe within this year.
Southern Poverty Law Center lawyer
arrested, charged with domestic terrorism amid Atlanta 'Cop City'
attack | 6 March 2023 | A lawyer for the Southern
Poverty Law Center (SPLC) [a Soros-funded cesspool]
was arrested and charged with domestic terrorism over the violence
that broke out in Atlanta on Sunday in relation to protests of a
planned training facility for police officers in the city, the SPLC
has confirmed. "An employee at the SPLC was arrested while acting
-- and identifying -- as a legal observer on behalf of the National
Lawyers Guild (NLG). The employee is an experienced legal observer,
and their arrest is not evidence of any crime, but of heavy-handed
law enforcement intervention against protesters," the SPLC said in
a statement on Monday. Thomas Webb Jurgens was among the list of 23
suspected domestic terrorists released by the Atlanta Police
Department on Monday. Violence broke out in Atlanta on Sunday after
protesters of a planned police training facility hurled bricks and
Molotov cocktails at officers and set cars on fire.
Message from
Yaqui political prisoner Fidencio
Aldamato the national assembly of the
National Indigenous Congress held on the 4-5 of March, 2023, in
Tehuacn, Puebla.
Hi, everyone. My name is Fidencio Aldama Prez. I am a member of
the Yaqui tribe, from the town of Loma de Bcum, in the state of
Sonora, Mexico. One of the eight Yaqui towns which make up the
Yaqui nation. A town that has stood firm in struggle and
resistance. I carry in my blood, flesh, and skin this grand history
of the Yaqui nation, which has for centuries struggled against
extermination, violence, and territorial dispossession.
Today, more than ever, I have embraced the words of the Yaqui
oath, those words that have been captured in my chest, that run in
my blood. I have embraced the struggle and the history, which is
the essence of my resistance and rebellion, which is autonomous,
with ancestral claims of education, security, justice, and
spirituality.
From our self-defense comes our self-government, because I am of
the Yaqui Tribe, and because capitalism was born from the blood of
our people. We must collectively build, defend, and exercise the
agreements of the poor, as the constitution of our people. We must
continue existing with self-determination and autonomy, to decide
the manner we want to organize ourselves in our territory, and the
form in which we want to construct our future.
This future will be governed by the following ideals: to serve
and not be served, to build and not destroy. And, as I have always
said: I do not attack, but rather defend what is
ours, what our ancestors have left us. They have taught us
to respect our roots, culture, traditions, and customs, but the
white man, those allied with money, have intervened producing
division in our communities. Even so, there are those of us loyal
to the Yaqui nation, who dont bow before money, who carry in our
hearts the Yaqui oath.
Im still here, a land defender of the Yaqui tribe, even though
Im locked inside this prison in Ciudad Obregn, Sonora, excluded
from my customs and traditions. I wont give up the struggle.
Rather, I will...
In the days before computers usually used off-the-shelf CPU
chips, people who needed a CPU often used something called
bitslice. The idea was to have a building block chip that needed
some surrounding logic and could cascade with other identical
building block chips to form a CPU of any bit width that could do
whatever you wanted to do. It was still harder than using a CPU
chip, but not as hard as rolling your own CPU from scratch. [Usagi
Electric] has a Centurion, which is a 1980s-vintage minicomputer
based on a bitslice processor. He wanted to use it to write
assembly language programs targeting the same system (or an
identical one). You can see the video below.
Truthfully, unless you have a Centurion yourself, the details of
this are probably not interesting. But if you have wondered what it
was like to code on an old machine like this, youll enjoy the
video. Even so, the process isnt quite authentic since he uses a
more modern editor written for the Centurion. Most editors from
those days were more like CP/M ed or DOS edlin, which were painful,
indeed.
The target program is a hard drive test, so part of it isnt just
knowing assembly but understanding how to interface with the
machine. That was pretty common, too. You didnt have a lot of help
from canned routines in those days. For example, it was common to
read an entire block from a hard drive, tape, or drum and have to
figure out what part of it you were actually interested in instead
of,...
The adult entertainment industry has come a long way from the
days of peep shows to the age of webcams. Jasmine Live is just one
example of how technology has revolutionized the industry, but
before we dive into that, lets take a brief look at the history of
adult entertainment.
The earliest form of adult entertainment can be traced back to
ancient civilizations like Greece and Rome, where erotic art and
literature were common. However, the modern era of adult
entertainment began in the early 20th century with the rise of peep
shows.
Peep shows were small booths where customers could insert coins
and watch a performer behind a glass screen. These shows were
popular in the red-light districts of major cities and were often
associated with prostitution. However, with the advent of motion
pictures in the 1920s, the adult entertainment industry began to
take on a new form.
The first adult film, A Free Ride, was
released in 1915, but it wasnt until the 1970s that the industry
really took off. This was the era of porno chic, a time when adult
films were shown in mainstream theaters and even received critical
acclaim. However, the 1980s brought a crackdown on the industry,
with the government enforcing stricter regulations and the advent
of the VHS tape making it easier for people to watch adult films in
the privacy of their own homes.
But the real game-changer for the adult entertainment industry
came with the internet. In the 1990s, adult websites began to pop
up, offering everything from photos to videos to live webcam shows.
And this is where
Jasmine Live comes in.
Jasmine Live is a popular webcam site that launched in 2002. It
allows performers to broadcast live shows to viewers around the
world, with the option for viewers to interact with the performers
via text chat. This technology has completely transformed the adult
entertainment i...

Introduction
The threads of our lives have been slowly woven together through
meals cooked communally, organizing meetings, bonfires and late
conversations, foraging, harvesting, taking care of each other,
and, lately, mourning a fallen comrade and friend. We all came
together to protect Weelaunee Forest: the trees, waters, people,
and all beings of this land. We came together to Stop Cop City and
the violent military occupation of police in our communities,
especially the Black and Brown ones, in Atlanta, Georgia. We came
together amid COVID, when we felt the loss of closeness with our
people, knowing we had to find creative ways of fostering
community. We have come together to build the world we want to live
in, even as we recognize we are all swimming in the extractive and
oppressive systems of colonization, white supremacy, and
capitalism, programmed for convenience and quick rewards. We keep
coming back together, gathering with each other, to live in the joy
and rest and wellness of community care.
The topic of this piece is the Sacred Web of Abundance
(SWoA). The larger Sacred Web of Abundance is the sum of
the vast, intricate system that sustains all life on this planet.
Your Sacred Web of Abundance is the place that you live,
the ways in which it sustains you, and the ways in which you
sustain it. We are here to be part of this web and invite in others
who are on the same land. What we have found is that the Sacred Web
of Abundance, with her billions of years of wisdom, is there for
us, waiting for our gratitude, delight, offerings, rituals, and

Zelinsky has tried to portray himself as a military leader,
cloaked in the symbolism of a military strongman. Gaddafi, Hussein,
Stalin, and even Hitler come to mind. All were seen as ardent
nationalists. Zelinsky did this to attract enormous weapons and
capital to this country, ensuring that his face becomes the symbol
of the military leader.
In truth, Zelinsky is a figurehead whose survival depends on
outside assistance. Ukraine continues to bleed out citizens, while
its military gets eviscerated. Even with the weapons provided by
the West, Ukraines military was never of the caliber of Russias. A
Heroic figure he is not.
The West probably bet the sanctions and outside pressures would
force Putin to withdraw. No one counted on Putin to stand his
ground. Putins determination to crush Zelinsky means his tenure is
linked with his war record and battlefield performance. Panic
is now setting in. Zelinsky is as much a puppet regime as we saw in
South Vietnam. It lacks broad support and like the one in Saigon,
Kiev will collapse sooner or later from outside pressure.
Once collapse happens, military defeat means political defeat.
Therefore, the West is panicked to raise the stakes and step in to
bolster a puppet regime. The US entered Vietnam slowly, then
suddenly. It now appears NATO is following this same process, first
indirectly, now perhaps directly. They have turned Ukraines future
into some kind of existential life-or-death battle. For NATO, that
is certainly the case. Having squandered untold billions, their
military readiness is now on the line.
Kennedy tried to block the expansion of the US presence in
Vietnam and was assassinated for it. Johnson enthusiastically took
over and then realized his generals, Westmoreland to be precise,
had no real plan. Johnson lost by blindly following the military.
Trump tried to keep the US out of wars and was ousted by a
fraudulent election. Biden enthusiastically took over echoing
Johnson. As with Vietnam, an unpopular regime with no support,

Whistleblower Accuses Bank of
America of Giving Private Customer Info to FBI to Target Gun
Purchasers | 6 March 2023 | A whistleblower testified
in a closed-door interview with the House Judiciary Committee in
February that a major financial institution inappropriately data
mined its customers' bank information to aid the FBI in January 6
riot investigations. Retired FBI National Security Intelligence
Supervisor George Hill, who was based in the Boston Field Office in
2021, said Bank of America provided a list to the FBI of all
customers who made transactions in or around D.C. January 57, 2021,
according to a transcription of Hill's testimony reviewed by
Breitbart News...Hill's testimony comes amid the Select
Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government
investigating numerous allegations of civil liberties abuses by
executive branch agencies.
The western U.S. is experiencing one of
the coldest end-of-winter periods in the historical record, with
too many cold records to list.
To illustrate, let me "warm up" by considering
the departure from normal of the average maximum
temperatures across the region (below).
Unbelievable-- in some parts of the region
highs have been down by OVER 15F from normal.
Consider the average high temperature at Los
Angeles for the same period.
You will not believe it (below). The
last two weeks were the coldest for the entire record, going back
to the mid-1930s. LA residents are probably staying in
their hot tubs.
For San Francisco, the past two weeks have had
the coolest maximum temperatures since the latest 1960s.
The United States has
launched a proxy war, unconstitutionally, circumventing Congress
and the American people no less the entire world. What must be
understood, is that the Biden Administration, the puppet of the
Neocons led now by Victoria Nuland, has brought the entire world to
the brink of World War III and they have now begun the countdown to
the decline and fall of Western Civilization
Who is Victoria Nuland and why has she the queen of
the Neocons? Victoria Nuland has been one of the leading Neocons
always advocating war with Russia. She is behind the propaganda
that Russia is on the verge of defeat and that the Russian army is
really dysfunctional. This is standard propaganda. They put out the
same exact line about the troops in Iraq. This is to convince
Americans that they can wage war and it will be over in just a few
hours or days. This is the typical Neocon sales pitch to justify
their endless thirst for war. They are trying to
provide justification to rush in for an easy defeat of their
target.
Besides the Neocons treason against the Constitution
always manipulating proxy wars without the consent of Congress in
violation of Section I, Article 8, there is also one huge very
serious undisclosed conflict of interest and the
Biden Administration should immediately fire Victoria Nuland and
all her supporters within the Biden Administration to save the
world and our nation.
