The Killing Fields: Where Government Grows by Bill Buppert
14 Comments	/ Uncategorized / By Bill
"Freedom had been hunted round the globe; reason was considered as rebellion; and the slavery of fear had made men afraid to think. But such is the irresistible nature of truth, that all it asks, and all it wants, is the liberty of appearing."
– Thomas Paine
To perversely paraphrase Bastiat: "The state is the great fiction within whose tax jurisdiction it deems itself free to fine, kidnap, cage, maim and kill its taxpayers and tax clients." It tends to be more gentle with the latter than the former.
High Tax Commissioner Obama recently ordered the robot murder of two acknowledged American citizens, Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan, in yet another undeclared hostility zone in the Middle East in Yemen. No trial and no appeal, simply the remote control killing of two Americans in a foreign country. No empire in history has ever isolated its more obnoxious and deadly behavior in foreign lands simply to the latest imperial conquest, all the countries have eventually brought it all back to their homelands like disease vectors. Wait for it because all the bloodshed and dismemberment we have visited on the rest of humanity will be brought home and used with vigor and no restraint whatsoever as the powers that be emanating from Mordor on the Potomac become more and more desperate as their economic ignorance and chicanery force their hand at increased savagery to preserve their way of life. The United Kingdom shows what will happen to a nation that seeks to rule the world, is reduced to colonial rock formations dotted around the globe and starts to practice empire on its own citizens.
We are all used to news coming over the transom everyday of yet more innocent women and children maimed and killed by our troops or their proxies in the multitude of statist squabbles around the globe. We are bludgeoned day after day with the news of cops misbehaving violently across the fruited plain. The prisons are bloated with the largest per capita population on Earth in the land of the free. Millions of tax dollars are spent in a death penalty system that morbidly worships a premeditated killing of a human being accused of a capital crime.
When stripped of the gaudy music and patriotic bunting, nation states are simply tax jurisdictions whose primary purpose is the forced redistribution of wealth and privilege. We are vampire nation quite literally as tens of millions of hapless subjects are drained of the proceeds of their labor and investment for no better reason than a lack of recourse to say no to the mugger. The wealth is expropriated through taxes, regulations and work rules that choke efficiency and effectiveness at every turn. The rough analog is the Helot relationship to the Spartan ruling class. You work and follow the rules you did not sign up for in a system rigged to ensure that your compliance is ultimately on pain of death if not followed to the letter. In other words, government promises security in exchange for a disproportionate share of your time and efforts. Slavery is alive and well in America, it is simply of a more ephemeral variety. One is convinced that even though you are not owned directly by a master, your taxing and tithing is necessary to sustain your freedom in exchange for all the good things provided by government. Your non-compliance with any of these diktats from the nomenklatura will result in the aforementioned fining, kidnapping, caging, maiming and killing (one can call this the ladder of slave resistance penalties) depending on the severity of the claim and the resistance of the citizen-slave being taken to task.
In the past, I have often been accused of oversimplification when I point out that the institution and existence of police forces is the one essential element to yoke large herds of humanity to statist plunder. Absent their activities, the politicians would have no means whatsoever to enforce their rapine and murderous ways. None. So let's peel the onion and examine one of the sustaining beliefs that inform the very essence of police power: the ability of the state to initiate violence. There are reams of busy jurisprudence that speak to the very right of the state to injure and kill its citizens. In order to have the peaceful society that the government insists is its plot and raison d'être, it must have the power to kill. Not only the power for its enforcers to protect themselves but the power to initiate violence; if there were a contract, it would not be one you would sign except under duress (there is a pattern here). The contract would read: you have the right to do what we tell you and if you resist or fail to comply, you are ultimately subject to death at the hands of our enforcers. Period. If said enforcers murder you, they will be subject to investigation by themselves and will most likely go on to enforce more "contracts". No matter how petty the crime nor how malum prohibitum the offense, the state has invested itself with the power to kill. It has no choice, for who would willingly surrender without threat of violence nearly sixty percent of their income, allow their family members to be sexually assaulted, or not eat foods the government does not approve of?
The only way a state can sustain itself is to employ the necessary apparatchiks who will do the most heinous acts of violence against their fellow citizens and to codify the willingness to initiate aggression and in the end, maim or kill anyone who resists or refuse to comply. Even if that person is an unarmed homeless man who is 130 pounds dripping wet.
The government is barbarism and not civilization. Much like the moral amnesia that allowed slavery to thrive for five millennia, mankind has been hoodwinked, cajoled and coerced into thinking the state is the only way to organize society and any other notion makes you an outlaw. How many times have you ever questioned the veracity of a law in polite conversation only to hear that must be the way of the world and there is no other method?
There is no greater moral government than a man's self-ownership and there is no greater injustice than denying that very thing to a man .
"It is incredible how as soon as a people become subject, it promptly falls into such complete forgetfulness of its freedom that it can hardly be roused to the point of regaining it, obeying so easily and willingly that one is led to say that this people has not so much lost its liberty as won its enslavement."
– Etienne de la Boétie

Bingo! And that sums it up right there. Without willing and obedient "enforcers", at all levels, the rat bastards who orchestrate Leviathan could never get their evil plans moving. It only takes just enough bodies to bring a change one way or the other. But you can certainly count on the swine sitting at the top to howl like demons should the hoi polloi actually push back.

Bill: "…There is no greater moral government than a man's self-ownership and there is no greater injustice than denying that very thing to a man…Resist…."
Good essay, Bill!
The advantage of declaring oneself sovereign is in his understanding of the ineptitude and patronization of agents of state. You've spelled that out rather well. In their stupidity so many of them are exhibiting more and more daily blatant insouciance at best, viciousness on down the scale.
It is obvious the only intrusive acts individual state functionaries can commit directly upon a person ("citizen" ha ha) is when that person stumbles into compliance with one of "nomenklatura's diktats" (thanks for the insignia). The key is to avoid those "stumbles" wherever possible.
Let the "occupiers" be the gator bait, poor souls. What do they know about the beast??? Leverage the stupidity of Leviathan and its whimpering protestors.
Never allow a state agent get into the position of "permitting" or "denying" your self ownership.
That's one great essay, Bill. I don't see any oversimplification at all. Hell, it's as simple as the closing quote you offer. mot, I think you're right in your analysis, but the hoi poloi ain't about to fight back. Let's not forget that we're here because the hoi poloi wanted to be here.
I've already figured out that the only way to stop all this is creation, not destruction. The irresistible force will have to meet the immovable object, so at least we'll solve that riddle. Beyond that, I haven't a clue.
Jim, you are correct insofar as we have what we have because people kept doing the same things expecting a different result. AKA the definition of insanity. I played a small part in the voting charade decades ago until I wised up and saw it for the bread and circuses that it was. Better to live with a clean conscience than be a willing participant in my own rape. Do I wish for peaceful change? Absolutely! Only a mad man would wish otherwise. The sad thing is that I've never seen Leviathan "willingly" let anyone out of its clutches unless it had been dealt a logistically expensive kick to the balls. And even then my cynical nature suspects it was planned that way.
I hear ya…"willingly" and "Govco" don't go together well. I just keep going forward remembering that it's only my will that moves me anyway.
Shoot, this has been planned for about 6,000 years…in principle if not in detail.

Currently vacationing in Sheridan, Wyoming, one still sees glimpses of individuals taking responsibility for their own actions. But not so much in the youth. They rely on the Government/government to spin their moral compass. It could not be their fault when they hit the deer with dad's pickup."I just started texting when the deer committed suicide by vehicle. My bad." When the west goes it is truly over. "Just saying…."
I was sayin' 20 years ago that 2 generations of schooling would wrap this up. Here we are. Thank goodness that schooling implies the possibility of unschooling, but not very often these days. It's an appealing philosophy to many—if you won't gimme, gimme, gimme, I'll just take it, take it, take it.
Oh, Jim, it's been take, take, take for at least the last 5,000 years.
2knives, will you take responsibility for the shitty system that has been handed to us youth, or will it just be our fault when this thing goes TU?
How is this anything than an extreme sellers' market? Government are effectively landowners competing for tenants except land is so valuable that governments can keep raising the stakes? Libertarians would have no qualms about employers seriously raising the stakes if unemployment is extremely high and workers can be easily replaced.
Depends on what's being sold, gil. The essential stuff is locked up, a sellers market as you say. But the good stuff is up for sale, and ain't too many buyers. Soros and all the rest ain't buyin' ag land because they're stupid. Not a bad scheme…get the productive land when nobody's buying and sell the essential food when nobody's selling. "Buy low, sell high" is easy when you've got armies. For the rest of us, it takes wits.

Learning outdoors: growing explorers, not robots
Efforts to reconnect cotton wool-wrapped kids with the great outdoors are not limited to rural areas. We visit two London projects where nature is the teacher
Veronique Mistiaen, photography by Caroline Irby November 29, 2018
Look at my baby dragons," says three-year-old Rubens, gently stroking three polished stones. "They are sleeping now. Shhhh," he whispers. Sitting under a tree nearby, two other boys hammer sticks into the ground. They are building a house for "the little people" – wooden figures, which staff have provided to inspire the children around this week's theme of 'small world'.
"I prefer to bounce on a branch," announces Ada, four, who is perched perilously at the end of a low bough, her blonde hair flowing.
"In a regular classroom, children have all sorts of colourful toys and set activities, but here they have to use their imagination and assess risk. For example, 'is this branch safe?'", says the fantastically named teacher Wild Bottomley, seeing me glance anxiously at Ada.

We are in the ancient Queen's Wood in north London, where the children at Into The Woods nursery, clad in waterproofs and fluorescent reflective vests, spend all day every day: rain or shine. "Children need to be outside long enough to feel at home there," says Emma Shaw, founder and manager of the nursery, which follows the Forest School approach, an outdoor, child-centred and play-based pedagogy. "Outside, quiet children start to talk more and children who find it hard to be constrained begin to relax."
Every month, staff set up a new camp near interesting features such as a stream or low branches. Then the children are let loose to climb trees, build dens, create fantasy worlds in their minds, pick up worms, play in puddles and learn to care for the environment. In doing so, they cover all areas of the early years curriculum, Shaw notes.
Flight path: getting active at the Into The Woods nursery
"Education is increasingly dominated by academic targets and a narrow curriculum," she says. "The concept of play is lost along the way. Everything is measured. Here, the children can be themselves. They have the space and time to explore, learn at their own pace and do their own things."
Nature deficit disorder, the term coined in 2005 by the US author Richard Louv, has become a well-known concept. Alienation from nature, Louv suggests, leads to diminished use of the senses, difficulties with paying attention and higher rates of physical and emotional illnesses. But the sadness behind the phrase really hit home to many in 2016, when a report by Unilever found that three-quarters of UK children spend less time outside than prison inmates.
Here, the children can be themselves. They have the space and time to explore
While some sought to assign blame – risk-averse parents? Schools? The government? Mobile phones? – others got on with designing solutions. Shaw had a sense that children could be healthier and happier if they spent less time climbing the walls of a classroom and more time climbing trees. When she opened Into The Woods in 2014, it was London's first outdoor forest nursery and only the second in the country.
The idea proved so successful that she opened a second on the woodlands and meadows of nearby Hampstead Heath. Another outdoor nursery, Little Forest Folk, which is based in five London parks and woods, has a waiting list of 2,000.
Mud, motivation and making things happen
Drawing on the Scandinavian model of Nature Kindergartens, Forest Schools were developed in the UK in the 1990s by educationalists at Bridgwater College in Somerset. It grew slowly at first, but expanded dramatically from 2010.
The Forest School Association (FSA) has 2,000 members – schools that follow Forest School principles as well as people who have been trained by FSA: more than 10,000 teachers to date. There is also a growing demand for the UK's more structured Forest School approach in the US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia, as well as China, Thailand and South Korea.
But thousands of other UK schools are developing their own outdoor learning too. One of them is Ark Franklin Primary Academy in Kensal Rise, where all children have one outdoor lesson a week, in addition to after-school clubs. "Our outdoor lessons include science, literacy and maths, but also foraging, weaving and everything we think will be useful," says principal Janine Ryan.
Bugging out: children at Ark Franklin Primary Academy collect creatures for their insect hotel
The school's outdoor programme started in 2014, when chef and food writer Thomasina Miers, who lives nearby, suggested that the school turn a piece of derelict land on its site into a garden. The idea took root, the land was turfed, and a garden was designed based on pupils' ideas.
It contains a green oasis of a storytelling grove, a bug hotel, a vegetable garden and an eco-cabin complete with living roof. The necessary cash was raised through auction suppers and a food festival. "Students always say that outdoor learning is their favourite lesson," notes Ryan with a smile.
Tuning in: pupils from Ark Franklin play bamboo flutes that they made
On the day I visit, 30 five to seven-year-old children sit in the storytelling spot, perched on stools made from tree stumps that are arranged around a fire pit. Outdoor learning teacher Ben Palmer-Fry hands out bamboo 'flutes', which the children gathered from the bamboo grove earlier in the year. Palmer-Fry shows them how to position their lips to make a flute-like sound, and the children practice. In colder months, he often lights a fire in the pit, cooking with the children's help all kinds of seasonal, foraged food: from apple chutney and bread to vegetable kebabs.
Other activities include making mud pies, dressing up and imitating animals. "I love the outdoor classroom because I get to see lots of animals and nature. Mr Palmer-Fry told us that in one handful of dirt, there are more than 100 creatures," says seven-year-old Tatiana.
I love the outdoor classroom. In one handful of dirt, there are more than 100 creatures
"Nature breeds curiosity; it helps grow explorers rather than robots. Planting things connects us viscerally with the soil, the plants and the animals. It reminds us that we are part of something bigger. It grounds us, calms us," says Palmer-Fry.
All the outdoor education teachers I speak to say their child charges are healthier, more independent, confident, creative, socially minded and caring for the environment following outdoor lessons.
This is slowly being confirmed by research although, so far, there lacks a nationwide study that considers outdoor education from multiple angles. At the moment, if a school offers it, it is largely because individual teachers see its benefits.
A breath of fresh air: a student at Ark Franklin plays in the garden
"If we agree that outdoor education promotes these positive qualities, then it would make sense to give all earlier years teachers some sort of qualification in it," says Gareth Wyn Davies, chief executive of the Forest School Association, who has been advising local authorities on the topic. Slowly, he believes, policymakers are getting on board. "We are on the cusp," he enthuses, "of influencing national policies".
Perhaps he should take five-year-old Chloe – who has been coming to Into The Woods since she was two – along to the next meeting. She puts it simply: "I love coming into the woods because I feel so free here."

Get the fundamentals of acting NOW.
Orientation Class's goal is to get you out of the class and into the working world as fast as possible. We quickly and effectively prepare our actors for the challenges that they will face on the set, in the casting office, or rehearsal hall. We hold our actors to the highest standards, which is why our percentage of working actors is among the highest of any acting studio in Los Angeles or New York. (this is an ongoing class)
Technique: We teach a cutting edge, "imagination based" system of acting. The tenants of our methodology can be found in the teachings of many of the great acting teachers, such as Stanislavsky, Adler, and Meisner to name a few. We recognize that each actor's talent is unique, and rather than attempt to fit the student to the technique, we tailor the technique specifically to each student.
Audition: Booking jobs takes more than making "hot choices". Understanding character and story allows you to be certain, not just in what the scene is about, but what the FUNCTION OF THE CHARACTER IN THE STORY IS. Then you must have the acting technique to have an authentic acting experience, even in the casting office.
The business of show business: How do you get an agent? How do you get into casting offices? How do you find out what is being cast now, and who is doing it? In these acting classes, we will address these critical questions and others. This acting class is referred to as the Administration Segment, which teaches administrative skills from the perspective of an actor. Understanding all aspects of show business, or any business, is essential and vitally important to your success as an actor.
When enrolled in this acting class, students can expect to work on scenes and "shoots" from plays and films, participate in mock auditions, as well as do various acting exercises chosen specifically for each individual to exploit each student's unique acting abilities.
Click here to schedule an interview at our acting school.
Also At Stuart Rogers Studios we don't call our orientation level acting classes beginners acting classes because our placement of actors has more to do with the problems they are going to encounter in the world, both artistically and professionally. In most beginners acting classes the acting teachers teach a predetermined curriculum, where everyone is taught the same thing regardless of what they know, or what their natural talent is. The whole notion of being a beginner or teaching an acting class for beginners, to a degree, pigeonholes the student. At our studio our teachers never assume they know what the actor's talent is or what they should work on as an actor until we understand their strengths and weaknesses as observed in the actor's initial interview and through perceiving them in acting classes. What may be basic and clear to one actor may not be basic at all to another, and sometimes even for the most advanced actor what they need to work on are the basics. Nothing can be taken for granted.
Whether you are coming to our acting school with an under-grad degree and MFA or have never acted before in your life, there will be elements in your acting that are naturally very strong and other components to your work that are inherently weaker. What you want is an acting teacher that will keep what is naturally beneficial and help you develop your weaknesses into strengths. If an acting school's curriculum is created by academics who don't know what it takes for you to work in the professional world, than the work you do in that acting studio may be fun or interesting but ultimately useless.
When a student registers for admission to our acting classes we place each actor in either an orientation class, scene study or the Monday night acting class. Each of the orientation classes is slightly different. As we said before we don't believe in basic beginner acting classes. This is why we have several orientation acting classes some will have more students who have never acted before, while other orientation classes will have many actors who have studied acting in universities and at other acting studios. The key for us is to place you with actors who are working on solving the same problems you are. This way the acting instructor can tailor the curriculum to fit the needs of the students. This also creates fervor in the class when you see the other actors around you begin to achieve success both in acting class and in the professional world. This is why ALL actors who wish to register and go through an admission process at Stuart Rogers studios must have an interview. This way you can get a basic understanding of what acting class you will be registered for and we can get a basic understanding of your needs and be sure we can answer them for each actor. We understand most acting classes in Los Angeles will sign up students without an interview and we ask more of you. Because our acting classes will ask more of you, if you are accepted into our acting school, we will give more to you.

Where professionals come to grow and stay focussed.
This is not a beginning acting classScene Study class is a professional class. This is not a class for actors who are making up their minds as to whether or not they really want to be an actor.We hold our actors to the highest standards, which is why our percentage of working actors is among the highest of any acting studio in Los Angeles or New York.Be prepared in our scene study class to do in-depth work, complete with a comprehensive understanding of the text as a whole, research done, and attention to the specific details of character.
The actors who we accept into our scene study class are:
Serious about their desire to become the best possible actor they can be.
Actors who are looking to improve the state of their career and art.
Actors who recognize the value and responsibility that it is to be an artist.
If what you are looking for is a nonchalant approach to acting class where you learn your lines and throw it up for the class, Stuart Rogers' Studios won't be the class for you.
People are generally accepted into this class through referral and an interview with Stuart Rogers.

The Monday Class
Solutions for working actors.
If what you are looking for is a nonchalant approach to acting class where you learn your lines and throw it up for the class, The Monday Class is not the class for you.
The Monday Class is a very difficult class to get into. It is reserved for the working actor. In other words, to be admitted into this class the prospective student must have an extensive professional résumé.
In addition to deepening the actors work in whatever way necessary, we deal with the specific problems that arise from time working on the set. Many acting studios in Los Angeles claim to have a "master class" and while I am not partial to the term that is exactly what the Monday Class is. Some of the finest actors you will see anywhere attend this class.

The Audition Class
SUPERCHARGE
your auditions
In the last four sessions (24 weeks) actors in the audition class booked over 35 SAG/AFTRA jobs. This is an effective acting class.
If your work does not consistently flat-out rock when you're auditioning, you have no one to blame for being unemployed but yourself.The audition class is an in-depth acting class focused on auditioning. We target the kind of auditions you are going out for (or should be going out for) be it co-star, guest star, series regulars or leads in films, and the instructor ensures that you find a confident approach that will lead you to story accurate, in-depth, fully committed auditions. In the course of each audition class, actors will work twice.Some of the issues addressed in this acting class are:
Each audition class also features a question and answer session to address specific individual needs.
Click here to schedule an interview at our professional LA Acting School in Hollywood, California.
Cold Readings – Sides are given to each actor in the audition class and they have between five and fifteen minutes to prepare for the audition.
Warm Readings – sides are e-mailed the actors several days in advance and they bring in their prepared auditions.
Text Analysis – Method that teaches how to efficiently break down a scene to create certainty while auditioning.
Agent Interviewing – How to get them and how to handle them.
Relevant Business Administration Skills
Transitioning your auditioning skills into a real world audition. Many actors perform fabulously when going over sides on their own, in acting class or with a coach only to have a less than par audition in a real world situation.
In the last four sessions (24 weeks) actors in the audition class booked over 35 SAG/AFTRA jobs. This is an effective acting class. Directing- Appropriate for working directors
Director Classes from Beginner to Advanced Levels.
The directing classes at Stuart Rogers Studios are all taught by award winning directors. Like our acting classes our directing classes are tailored to the strengths and weaknesses of each director.Often times directors who have graduated from a film school do not have extensive experience working with actors. They may be adept at handling the DP and the crew, but directing actors i.e. speaking the actor's language, presents more of a challenge. Our director classes focus on one of the most important fundamentals to directing, which is to understand and communicate, "story" to the actors. The directing classes at Stuart Rogers' Studios give each director the opportunity to hone their story skills and direct actors every week. Effectively communicating your vision to your crew AND ACTORS is essential to being a great director, and without those communication skills it is impossible to direct well.Directors come to directing from various backgrounds. Some come from a writing background, others come from acting, or producing while some have only ever wanted to direct. Wherever you stand, consistently directing actors and consistently communicating your vision will make you far more effective directing on a hot set. A directing class is one of the few environments where you can fail, get an invaluable lesson and not have it hurt your career. Quality directing classes that cater to the needs of professional directors is a difficult thing to find. Finding a directing class that is taught by directors who understand the needs of actors and can speak to actors from any school or acting theory is harder.For beginning directors we make sure you have a working understanding of the Five Fundamentals of Directing. For the more advanced director, our director classes focus on identifying problem areas for improvement and refining your directing skills.
Each director is evaluated in an interview with our Studio's head instructor and placed into a director class based on their education and professional resume.
Where new and working teachers refine their skills.
Teacher Training is for those teachers, actors, and directors who are looking to either deepen their effectiveness as teachers, or build the tools necessary to translate their art into teaching. We work with instructors of all methodologies; if however, you wish to become a certified acting coach or teacher, do understand, we are an imagination-based studio.We organize acting teacher training several times a year at Los Angeles center, where each class is held with a different emphasis.Click here to schedule an interview, if you wish to instruct or make acting your profession.

"The plethora of sports facilities that I've used over the years has left me with little or no confidence in the industry. However, Business Development Manager, Joanna Borley of House of Sport, has restored my confidence with the ability to provide a proactive, reliable, and friendly service committed to offering professional and state of the art facilities for a vast range of sporting events."
Richard Archer Cardiff City FC Foundation
"House of Sport is an excellent venue offering great all weather pitch facilities, including a modernised waiting area and refreshments to ensure a good family environment that is ideal to our needs at grass roots football. Ourselves at Ely Rangers FC never hesitate to take up the opportunity to utilise the facility as it truly caters for every need we could ask for whether it be a structured training session or friendly match. We cannot speak highly enough of the place or the staff so would recommend to all!"
Steven Paterson Ely Rangers FC
"In 2012/13, Sport Wales awarded a Development Grant of £50,000 to establish a ball sport hall at Cardiff City House of Sport Ltd based in Leckwith, Cardiff.
House of Sport, although linked to Cardiff City FC, is intended to engage with several sports, not just football, to also include basketball, futsal, netball, korfball, wheelchair rugby and wheelchair basketball to name a few. The project overall has been a huge success with increased participation in all sports catered for and a particular increase in basketball and women's football. The project also has good engagement with BME groups and continues to go from strength to strength.
Cardiff City House of Sport Ltd presented a considered and inclusive approach to the project which allowed greater participation in a range of sports whilst also engaging groups from the community who previously wouldn't have had the opportunity to use facilities such as this.
House of Sport has clearly demonstrated its ability to plan, produce and deliver on proposed project outcomes and outputs."
Christopher Coles Sport Wales
"We've been using the facilities at House of Sport for almost a year now. We use the 3G pitch for football training. In the last year we've noticed improvements to an already fantastic venue. The management team are always improving its facilities to make it a better experience. The recent update to the parking has been welcomed.
What really makes the HOS the venue of choice for us is the members of staff. Nothing is too much to do. They are fully trained to assist with any injuries and always on hand with first aid.
Credit goes to Rod (Facility Assistant) and Jo (Executive Director) who really make it a pleasure to use such a fantastic venue in Cardiff.
House of Sport really is the best facility in Wales and one we look to use for many more years."

Expect more work on I-20 replacement bridge in upcoming weeks
Jozsef Papp @JozsefPapp_
Jul 11, 2019 at 2:28 PM Jul 11, 2019 at 11:26 PM
More work on the Interstate 20 bridge replacement project can be expected over the next couple of weeks, with major tasks likely starting in the fall, Georgia Department of Transportation officials say.
The $82 million project is being funded by GDOT and South Carolina DOT to replace the I-20 bridges over the Augusta Canal and Savannah River. Crews began doing geotechnical testing and drilling around the bridge area in January and February, which caused some night lane closures and delays on I-20. Kyle Collins, district communications specialist for GDOT East Central Georgia Office, said work on the actual bridge is expected by the fall.
"Once (the geotechnical testing) is done, the design and environmental process will continue," he said after a project update Thursday at the North Augusta Rotary Club. "Hoping by September, October time-frame, crews come in, start building access roads to the side of traffic and actually really begin the for-real construction work."
Work on the bridge and widening on the Georgia side is scheduled for the fourth quarter of the year. A new traffic signal will be installed at the I-20 east off ramp on Exit 1 and improvements will be made to turn lanes on the exit, with work starting in the latter part of the year and completed by the end of 2020.
Widening on the South Carolina side will start the first quarter of 2020 and the whole project is expected to be completed by Spring 2020. Superior Construction Co. is the contractor and WSP is the designer for the project.
Minimal impact is expected on the Augusta Canal and the Savannah River during the project. Some closures that will likely affect recreational activities, like kayaking and boating, will be well advertised and limited in length, Collins said. Although some lane closures are expected, traffic will always be maintained throughout the project.
"I think you are safe to continue to travel on I-20 during this process, but expect some delays at times and the speed limit is going to be reduced," Collins said.
The new bridge would start near the Georgia Welcome Center, about 800 feet west of the Augusta Canal, and extend until Exit 1 in South Carolina. The bridges are being replaced due to age – the two bridges over the Savannah were built in 1965; the two over Augusta Canal in 1964.
"It's an integral part of our transportation system and it is key to bring these bridges up to date. They've lived a good life, but it's time to move on to something better," Collins said.
The bridge will have three lanes on each side, 12-foot outside and inside shoulders on both directions with east- and westbound lanes separated by a median. Collins expects the addition of shoulders will also be beneficial in emergency situations. According to Georgia DOT data, there were more than 600 accidents in that section of I-20 from 2013 to 2016.
The annual average daily traffic for the area is 60,100 vehicles, with 13 percent being trucks, according to Georgia DOT data. It is expected to increase to 87,000 by 2037.

They stand in an elevator crammed with businessmen. Nobody speaks a word. What connects them is that they are strangers. Later in the bar she looks up and gives him a shy smile. Thinking of these scenes it seems to me that my own world got Lost in Translation. It's not even possible to have a drink in a bar in Munich, not to mention to watch the lights of Tokyo from the top of Shinjuku Park Tower.
Here is one of the fantastic pleasures of life: to think that everything somehow makes sense, said Michèle Lamy in an interview. I was asking myself whether I would agree with her statement, and whether it's possible to disagree at all. The brain can be considered a sense making device. We all think differently. I might be missing some neural pathways, and others might be distinct due to my individual experience. My reasoning is subjective. It could have been formed by conditioning, education and environmental factors. Confirmation bias makes me think what I have already heard is more plausible. Attention economics leverage this mechanism to convert me into a consumer. Unless I would isolate myself from digital media I couldn't escape digital realities. Is it still me who makes sense of everything experiencing the fantastic pleasures of life? Sometimes I entertain suspicion that someone else has hijacks my attention before it can enter my consciousness.
To think that everything somehow makes sense is a relief. Therefore the number of possible explanations explodes as soon as something unforeseen happens. Politicians and clergymen, industry captains and hobby scientists, everybody and his brother are spreading versions of truths. Their motives may range from contributions to a discourse, claims to come up with better solutions if they were asked, up to simply trolling around. As a media recipient it's up to me to decide which statements I allow to enter my brain. I like to think I am still in control of my input channels. I try to be cautious about sponsored content, because it tends to come with a hidden agenda. I am a strong believer in scientific truths, as its methods require independent reviews, and reviewers accepting bribe would put on stake their academic reputation. However, statistics can be manipulated and studies be faked. When it comes down to it a closer look is needed into those who would profit from your support.
Metcalfe's law states that the value of a network is proportional to the number of users of the network. An influencer's market value is determined by his social relationships. I like to think I am free to choose my input channels, which is a relief on the one side. Then again it's also a threat, as everybody else is free as well. The recent events on Capitol Hill illustrated what echo chambers and alternate facts are capable of. The greatest influencer of all time was banned from the platforms. The nuisance has been eliminated, but the underlying problem still exists: his brainwashed followers believe in what feels right for them. When the next Pied Piper of Hamelin enters the city, they will blindly follow the play of his pipe.
We already make sense by paying attention to something amongst a million of things that could attract our interest. But the real insight must be that this is exactly what grabs our attention. When influencers and underlying platforms know the contents of our dreams they will feed us up with mental superfood. Lucid pictures of our imagination are competing with high-gloss virtual phantasies. It's all in your mind? Not anymore.
Reality must be immediate. That means there can't be digital media between you and me outside of the realm of imagination. Life is surprising, unpredictable, continuous. It can be fantastic when we accept that it has also has its downsides. We have only one life, every mistake has consequences, and that's exactly the thrill.

High And Tight: The Nike Air Command Force
This season, Nike Sportswear reintroduces an iconic moment in heightened innovation — the Air Command Force. Originally released in 1991, this towering hoops design became a cult classic through its unique fit and shock-absorbing innovations — and a larger-than-life aesthetic that epitomizes an era.
Part of the same lineage that started with the Air Force 1 and spread through the Air Force II, Air Force III, Air Force STS and Air Force V, this model represented state-of-the-art big-man footwear worn by one of the best centers of all time. With the Admiral in the pilot seat, the Nike Air Command Force towered over the competition.
As one of very few models that used the inflatable Air-Fit technology, which could be adjusted for custom comfort using an anatomically correct inflatable bladder in the ankle, the Nike Air Command Force boasted three Nike Air units. Along with Air-Fit, this model featured Nike Air in the forefoot with its visible counterpart in the heel.
With its fluorescent, splattered accents at the heel and new Force logo gracing the tongue, this monstrous model was destined for Hollywood and could be seen dominating the asphalt on the big screen in the early 1990s.
After 22 years of hibernation, the Nike Air Command Force springs from the cave of time in all its original glory. The 2014 version includes all the elements that made the original a force to be reckoned with, including the return of the Air-Fit application and the heel valve cylinder to release pressure.
The Nike Air Command Force will be available at select Nike Sportswear Retailers and online at nike.com/sportswear beginning Oct. 18.

Want to know why they are Russian assets? President Trump and his administration have refused to stop Russian election interference, he has failed to create or enact new sanctions against Russia,[8] in fact they have made a mockery of the process. There were sanctions that were passed overwhelmingly by Congress in retaliation for Russia election meddling and human rights abuses, President Trump refused to apply all the sanctions.[9] The administration claimed that the threat of sanctions was enough to dissuade business with Russia. To add insult to injury Secretary Steve Mnuchin and the Treasury Department had been given 6 months to create a list of Russian political figures and Oligarchs with close ties to Putin and all they produced was a list copied directly from a Russian edition of Forbes billionaire list, further indication that the administration refuses to take sanctions against Russia seriously.[10] A Treasury Department spokesperson confirmed that the list was taken from Forbes Magazine.[11].
cheap wigs When you go there, and click on jobs, make sure you search for work from home jobs. One rule of thumb, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If a job promises to pay you hundreds or thousands of dollars a day, be very cautious about this. The bird's forelimbs (the wings) are the key to flight. Each wing has a central vane to hit the wind, composed of three limb bones, the humerus, ulna and radius. The hand, or manus, which ancestrally was composed of five digits, is reduced to three digits (digit II, III and IV or I, II, III depending on the scheme followed[3]), which serves as an anchor for the primaries, one of two groups of flight feathers responsible for the wing's airfoil shape. cheap wigs

With a piece of chalk I drew the lines that I needed to cut, making sure that I added the v shape at the end of each of the wire "bones". Cut two of these wing shapes, one for the front and one for the back, taking care to cut enough so that you can cover every bit of foam and wire. clip in extensions

Rally to Keep School Safety Agents In Schools And Protect Our Children
Sunday, April 11, at 2:00pm, at City Hall Park
School Safety Matters! School Lives Matter!
Parents and Community Leaders Stand With School Safety Agents
"We will not allow politicians to jeopardize the safety of our children!"
We reject and condemn the recent attacks on School Safety Agents and we will not allow politicians to jeopardize the safety of our children! School Safety Agents are mostly Black, Hispanic, and Asian, and the majority are women. To claim that these caring and hard-working people are responsible for racist policing in our schools and also responsible for the school-to-prison pipeline is a despicable lie. We are sick and tired of politicians using our children to score political points through "fake news" when seeking higher office. Reforming the criminal justice system cannot include scapegoating innocent workers.
School Safety Agents protect our children every day. Ignorant attacks smearing and maligning the majority Black, Hispanic, and Asian women workforce are reprehensible. The real cause of the school-to-prison pipeline is the failure of the Department of Education to properly educate our Black, Latino and Asian children combined with the failure of the City as a whole to provide enough good employment opportunities for our young people. Yet some politicians think their paths to higher office require the destruction of livelihoods of women of color. This would be horrid enough at any time, but it is particularly despicable during a pandemic.
Politicians do not speak for parents and have now chosen not to speak for workers, either. We will speak for ourselves and stand with our School Safety Agents on Sunday, April 11, at 2:00pm, at City Hall Park.
"Our parents and children are welcomed every school day by our School Safety Agents' smiles. They not only ensure the safety of our teachers and students but also provide a great example for positive influence on our school communities. With the recent rise in anti-Asian violence, our families need School Safety Officers to keep our children safe! — Mazeda Uddin, Founder and CEO of South Asian Fund for Education, Scholarship and Training, Inc.
"Our School Safety Agents are needed for our children. Every day, School Safety Agents tend to the safety and well-being of our children in school, not just during the school day, but before and after school as they come and go from school. We need them to protect our children — dealing with gangs and weapons before incidents, stopping fights when they occur, and more. We support our School Safety Agents for ALL our children."
— Wai Wah Chin, Charter President of Chinese American Citizens Alliance of Greater New York
"Our School Safety Agents are civilians. They are not police officers. School Safety Agents do not carry weapons yet they put their lives on the line every day for our children. Our communities of color have been hit the hardest by the Covid-19 pandemic. Our children have lost an entire year of school and instead of focusing on educating our children, reopening schools, and the well-being of our children, politicians are trying to completely destroy families of color. This racist attack on mothers, women of color, and immigrant women who protect our children is contemptible. We want our schools fully reopened with our School Safety Agents protecting our children."
— Jacqueline Colson, NYC Parents Union
"We stand with our School Safety Agents. Many in our community are School Safety Agents. They are mothers, fathers, uncles, aunts, and grandparents who protect our children every day in school. We have peace of mind dropping our children off at school because we know they are in good hands."
— Shabir Gul, President, Bronx Community Council and Muslim and Immigrant Coalition for Justice
"School safety cannot and should never be compromised, especially in this time of crisis. 1,677 knives were confiscated from NYC students in the 2018-2019 school year,
which was 92 percent higher than in 2015. The presence of School Safety Agents, along with all the other security measurements make the parents, the teachers and students, and the entire school community feel safe and protected."
— Donghui Zang, Parent, President, New York City Residents Alliance
"In this time of increasing uncertainty and heightened concerns about public safety, School Safety Agents are a source of stability, comfort, and knowledge for tens of thousands of families who rely on them to keep the children safe. School Safety Agents, many of whom are moms, know how important it is to protect our children–both in and out school."
— Maud Maron, Parent
"Today, the biggest threat isn't an active shooter or gang-related activities. The threat is falling victim to the political rhetoric that has no true understanding of the importance of School Safety Agents. Many of our School Safety Agents have survived knife attacks but now are in jeopardy of succumbing to budget slashing. They go to work every day unarmed but can't avoid the shots taken at them by local politicians in order to appease a misguided agenda.
As a parent of two sons who attend public high school here in NYC, I cannot imagine a school building without a School Safety Agent. Knowing so many agents during my time as a student and as a father of public school students, I've seen the long term positive impact these agents have had."
— Leonardo Coello, Parent

By Office of Communication
It 's the last weekend of free music for 2016 at the Levitt Pavilion in downtown Arlington.
The Nightowls took Texas by storm in 2014 with the release of their debut album, Good As Gold. The Austin Chronicle hailed them as 'suave, energetic, blue-eyed soul' and named their album one of the Top 10 of the year at its annual music awards. Their sophomore recording last year earned them serious national attention from The Atlantic and Southern Living. The Nightowls perform at 8 p.m. sponsored by Arlington Today magazine.
He 's not exactly a household name, but Billy Joe Shaver 's songs are country standards, and his reputation as a master songwriter and Texas colorful character remains strong since the 1970s. Billy Joe performs at 8 p.m. He got his first musical break writing songs like Good Christian Soldier (Kris Kristofferson), Willie the Wandering Gypsy and Me (Tom T. Hall),
Ride Me Down Easy (Bobby Bare) and Sweet Mama (The Allman Brothers). His real breakthrough came in 1973, when Waylon Jennings recorded an album composed almost entirely of Shaver 's songs, Honky Tonk Heroes largely considered the first true 'Texas outlaw' album. Among his many classic songs are I 'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal (But I 'm Gonna Be a Diamond Some Day), Honky Tonk Heroes, and Try and Try Again. Billy Joe is part of the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame, and the Americana Music Association awarded him their Lifetime Achievement Award in Songwriting. His concert is sponsored by Union Pacific.
The Levitt 's last free concert is Bart Crow at 8 p.m. The road-toughened troubadour and his band have logged thousands of miles playing in front of loyal crowds. It 's Bart 's music that is the draw a tangle of roots in blues, country and down-home rock 'n ' roll, branded with his individual imprint. Crow has had six number one singles on the Texas Music charts. He has sold more than 40,000 albums and released five self-produced albums in just over a decade, including Dandelion, which debuted at number one on Billboard 's Heatseekers South Central chart.
He 's been cheered in Country Weekly, on Country Music Television and other national media outlets, and his YouTube videos and concert footage have drawn more than 2.5 million views. His concert is sponsored by the Arlington Chamber of Commerce.
