President Donald Trump swiftly defended Tomi Lahren as an outstanding and respected young woman after the Fox News contributor said fellow diners at a restaurant pelted her with water and obscenities.

Everybody is with Tomi Lahren, a truly outstanding and respected young woman! Trump tweeted Wednesday morning, shortly after Lahren talked about her weekend experience at a Minneapolis restaurant on Fox and Friends.

Video posted on social media shows Lahren getting heckled by diners at the restaurant, with some calling her a racist and yelling. As Lahren walks away, a woman appears to sling water at her back from a glass of water.

Lahren said the restaurant patrons behavior was not something that Im not used to, and admitted it was embarrassing, especially with her mother there.

You dont have to like me, you dont have to agree with my political opinions, but you dont have the right to throw things at me, she said. But again, Im tough, I can handle it.

Comedian Kathy Griffin also stuck up for Lahren against those at the restaurant. She tweeted on Tuesday night that she couldnt disagree more with Lahren, but she has a right to her views. The first amendment is a beautiful thing, Griffin added.

I couldnt disagree more with @TomiLahren, but I dont think its cool to resort to physical actions to make your point.

The first amendment is a beautiful thing - use it. https://t.co/Yx8obh0aH0  Kathy Griffin (@kathygriffin) May 23, 2018

Lahren, who joined Fox News as a contributor last summer, has gained a reputation as a polarizing figure, with her controversial political views on subjects including immigration, gun control, and abortion igniting fierce debate and opposition.

Trump Praises Tomi Lahren After Restaurant Crowd Tosses Water Insults


Republicans are in the middle of a white hot meltdown after the very credible testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford Thursday morning, including President Trump. Ford gave a very convincing account of what she says Brett Kavanaugh did to her that night in 1982, and even Republicans are having a hard time denying the natural demeanor of the alleged victim.

Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaughs testimony was quite different, however, as he came across as extremely questionable, often times weeping, and seemingly very thirsty.

Republicans, obviously not very happy with the outcome of the hearing began speaking out in foolish fashion, including Lindsey Graham, who lashed out to reporters, saying:

She took a polygraph and they didnt tell us until Sept. 26. All I can deal with is whats in front of me. Ive got a guy who adamantly denies this. Anyone who knows him in a real way say this is not the guy I know. Ive got Dr. Ford, who cant tell me the time and the place, and well see what happens.

Let me put it this way to my Republican colleagues. If this becomes the new standard, where you have an accusation for weeks, you drop it right before the hearing, you withhold from the committee a chance to do this in a professional, timely fashion. When they publicly say that their goal is to delay the vote, get the Senate back in 2018, to make sure he cant fill the seat, theyre publicly saying that, I dont want to reward that kind of behavior. I think weve been very fair. To my Republican colleagues, if you can ignore everything in this record, looking at allegation thats 35 years old, thats uncertain for time, place, date and no corroboration, if thats enough for you, god help us as Republicans. Because this happens to us, it never happens to them. Let me tell you, my Democratic friends. If this is the new norm, you better watch out for your nominees.

So now talking to Alex Jones is considered illegal activity according to the Google-YouTube tech overlords.

Gab tweeted: Youtube just removed our interview with @RealAlexJones (notice the title predicting that this would happen lol)

How on earth was that interview encouraging illegal activity?

Conservative commentator and YouTube megastar, Mark Dice tweeted, Looks like if you include Alex Jones in the title of your YouTube livestream, it will automatically be shut down and your channel issued a community guideline strike. #Orwellian.

Another live podcast on YouTube was shut down and the channel was given a strike for talking about Alex Jones.

YouTube is censoring interviews with Alex Jones and anyone uploading an interview with him will be punished by YouTube.

The H3 podcast had to be filmed offline and uploaded later since YouTube revoked their ability to livestream.

The tech tyrants are going into overdrive as the 2018 midterms approach.

On Friday, conservative commentator Gavin McInnes and the Official Proud Boys Twitter accounts were permanently banned from the platform.

Brexit, Brexit, Brexit... its been inescapable today as Cabinet ministers finally got a look a Theresa Mays proposed divorce deal with the EU.  But what has else has been going on while politicos obsessed over the Prime Ministers day of judgement?   Trumps Dressing Down Of May

With her much-anticipated deal up for scrutiny by ministers today, May probably expected some strongly-worded criticism from MPs (and Tory Brexiteer Peter Bone certainly delivered during PMQs this afternoon.) But what the PM was unlikely to be prepared for was the dressing down she received from Donald Trump when she called to congratulate him on the Republican Partys successes in last weeks midterm elections. Speaking from on-board Air Force One, the President reportedly used the call as an opportunity to give May a tongue-lashing over Iran, accusing Britain of not doing enough to contain the country. According to the Washington Post, Trump also quizzed her over Brexit, complaining about unfair trade deals with European countries. Anyone else think May might be tempted to send her congratulations via email next time?...

It was revealed today that a blunder by the NHS meant more than 40,000 women in England did not receive letters about vital cervical cancer screening between January and June this year.  The BBC reported that while the majority of the letters were inviting women to book a screening, around 4,000 were test results. As many as 200 of these were abnormal results.  Around 4.5 million women aged 25-64 receive invitations for cervical cancer screening each year.  The news comes just months after it was revealed tens of thousands of women had not been invited for breast cancer screening.  HuffPost UK has contacted NHS England and Capita  which run cervical cancer screening services  for comment.

It was seriously big news in Westminster today, but you may have missed a major U-turn by the government among all the Brexit drama.  When Philip Hammond announced a delay to a planned crackdown on highly addictive betting machines in the Autumn Budget, he not only sparked the resignation of highly-respected sports minister Tracey Crouch, but created the threat of a major Commons rebellion.  With 25 Tory MPs having joined more than 60 opposition politicians to call for the maximum stakes on fixed-odds betting terminals to be cut from 100 to 2 in April  rather than the proposed October 2019 date  it looked as if the government could lose the first vote on the budget in 40 years.  But in a bid to cool the situation down, culture secretary Jeremy Wright announced a serious step down by the government, revealing that the change would be brought forward by six months.  Common sense has prevailed, tweeted Crouch in response to the news.  The government had argued that the extra time was needed to give the gambling industry time to adjust, amid fears that the move would lead to job losses in betting shops.  No-one promised this round-up would be Brexit-free. In what could prove to be a push for on-the-fence MPs over Mays proposed Brexit deal, the International Monetary Fund warned today that crashing out of the EU could cost the UK the equivalent of almost 6,000 per household. The countrys GDP would fall by 7.8% if the UK was forced to accept World Trade Organisation rules, the Washington-based organisation said in its annual economic forecast. However, it predicted that a smooth transition to a free trade agreement with the EU would see the UKs economy grow by around 1.5%.

Five Things You Missed While Everyone Was Obsessing Over Theresa Mays Brexit Plan


Sean(n) Walshs ex-girlfriend Rebecca Humphries has responded to his interview on Strictly Come Dancing spin-off show It Takes Two. On Wednesday night, the comedian and his dance partner Katya Jones made a subdued appearance on It Takes Two, in which they discussed the media furore that has surrounded them since they were caught on camera kissing last week.

While Rebecca responded to his initial public apology with a statement saying Seann had branded her a psycho after she questioned whether anything was going on between him and Katya, shes now let her feelings be known about their joint It Takes Two interview. Although she hasnt addressed the interview head-on, she has liked a number of tweets, many of which pointed out that Rebecca is yet to receive a personal apology from Seann:

he could have at least mentioned @beckshumps name instead of skirting around the fact he hasnt apologised to her, just for the hurt he has caused.

also the way he says the people who know me most.. and love me..?? um are you suggesting she never loved you @seannwalsh?? ugh https://t.co/9tDYWVWcaI  sara  (@cariadluna) October 10, 2018

Another post in Rebeccas likes questions Seanns motive for wanting to discuss the matter on It Takes Two at all, suggesting he hadnt owned up to his behaviour:

@seannwalsh@Mrs_katjones why did you appear on TV to make people feel sorry for you? You havent owned your sh*t at all - you should stop @bbcstrictly out of respect - and apologise to @Beckshumps neither of you apologised to her   JACOB THE CAT (@zipper73) October 10, 2018

During the interview, Seann said: I would rather not be having to address this publicly, but I feel like I have to. I made a mistake, which Im very sorry for  sorry for the hurt that Ive caused. He added: I feel its also important for me to say that the people that know me the most, that love me, they know that I am not the person Im being portrayed as. Im still sorry for what I did, but its very important for me to get that out there.

Katya, meanwhile, was quick to insist that her relationship with fellow Strictly pro Neil Jones was fine, and the two were not planning to split. After Rebeccas initial statement, Seann and Katya faced repeated calls to bow out of the competition, though they will be going ahead with their appearance on Saturday night, where theyll be performing a Charleston.

The Peace Tower on Parliament Hill in Ottawa is shown on Sunday, Aug. 2, 2015. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Justin Tang

As previewed in iPolitics AM, the House is set to break, at least briefly, from the cross-aisle bickering that typically dominates the Chamber to reflect on Canadas 1939 rejection of the MS St. Louis, which was carrying nearly 1,000 Jewish refugees fleeing Europe, many of whom would go on to die in the Holocaust.

[READ MORE: iPolitics AM: PM set to apologize for 1939 rejection of ship carrying Jewish refugees]

Shortly after question period wraps up, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will deliver a formal apology for the decision by-then Prime Minister Mackenzie Kings government to refuse to allow the ship to dock in Halifax  and, most likely, also draw attention to more recent examples of anti-Semitism, including last months deadly attack on a Pittsburgh synagogue.

Also on the House agenda today: The Canada-Israel free trade deal, currently mired at second reading, which now seems set for a preliminary vote as early as later this afternoon after the government served notice of its intention to force an end to the debate.

MPs are also set to cast their collective verdict on four backbench initiatives: Liberal MP Majid Jowharis proposal to require pre-sentencing reports to disclose any mental condition suffered by the accused,  as well as his BC caucus colleague Sukh Dhaliwals bid to designate April as Sikh Heritage Month, both of which are currently poised for third reading approval, and two bills awaiting second-reading approval: Conservative MP Len Webbers campaign to allow the Canada Revenue Agency to cooperate with provinces and territories attempting to set up an organ donor registry and Bloc Quebecois MP Luc Theriaults plan to exempt Quebec from Canadas multiculturalism laws.

ON & AROUND THE HILL

To mark National Childs Day, the Independent Senate Group teams up with the Senate Liberals and the office of the governments official Upper House representative, to host an Open Caucus to examine child poverty in Canada  and specifically, the wide and worrying gap between the economic wellbeing of the nation and the wellbeing of children.

The morning session is open to all parliamentarians, staff, media and the public, and will include presentations by First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada executive director Cindy Blackstock, University of Calgary assistant professor and researcher Amy Metcalfe, Canadian Coalition for the Rights of Children chair Kathy Vandergrift and Wisdom2Action project manager Pamela Lovelace.

Also this morning: Green Party Leader Elizabeth May will give a keynote opening address at the Scaling Up Conference, which, as per the advisory, will explore Canadas opportunity to be the leading edge of a low carbon, bio-based economy.

As part of a week-long campaign to highlight what they see as a drive to expand Canadas network of nuclear reactors, environmental activists, citizens advocates and other public interest groups hit Sparks Street to share their concerns over a new roadmap for the industry, which is expected to be unveiled at an international summit on small modular reactors later today.

Finally, veteran Washington, D.C. political reporter Bob Woodward will doubtless be invited to air his thoughts on the US midterms, which saw the Democrats regain control of the House of Representatives, but fall short of doing the same in the Senate, when he takes the stage at a Canada 2020 lunch event in Toronto to promote his latest book, Fear: Trump in the White House.

Through a lack of education many continue to be deceived into believing the corporate/banker sponsored fake science. The spin is made by paid off crooked scientific establishments, phony front men and tightly controlled mainstream media outlets for the ulterior motives, control and profit.

Those people not understanding this may consequentially suffer. A lack of education or understanding the fake science could lead to much harm through making a number of bad choices. Further, it will take double the efforts to re-educate: Deconstruct the misinformation, lies and propaganda related to the fake science in order to benefit from learning the real scientific knowledge.

To protect your physical, mental, health and well-being, here are 5 fake science sources and how they could lead to your harm if not carefully discerned:

To understand how crooked scientific establishments work you have to realize that they are uncompromisingly tied into not just corporate moneyed interests, but also scientific and political agendas. Thus, essentially, through filtering, the science follows a narrow academic approach. -To get some idea of the background behind this narrow approach consider, for example, how Big Pharma stops its competitors and monopolizes the health industry.

In order to get results for its sponsors research establishments may prevaricate, mislead, misrepresent, exaggerate, cherry-pick data, falsify, suppress or ignore contradictory information...

-These are just some of the tricks used in their crooked bad science.

In retrospect, the key to realize is that this allows a number of products to go onto the markets that have not had proper scientific evaluation (helped along by crooked approval bodies such as the FDA).

If you come into contact with these products they could lead to your harm. Research the researchers and the products. Learn to discern the bad science and how the resulting products could harm you.

Biotech companies and their GMOs (genetically modified organisms) is a classic example of how twisted research has gone on to give rise to harmful products.

For years, many researchers have been working on GMOs with the erroneously oversimplified understanding that the modification of one gene would in effect produce one protein. As time has gone by, it has come to light that instead of just producing one beneficial protein, other unwanted or potentially harmful proteins have also been unexpectedly produced. Such is what happens when tinkering with life:

Not really knowing whats going on those in biotech labs have managed to fool the public through fake science into believing that GMOs are healthy food sources, environmentally friendly and can feed the world with efficient production...

GMOs with their toxic genes and the nasty chemicals used such as the known carcinogen glyphosate, the active ingredient in the weed killer Monsantos Roundup, have contributed to numerous allergies and illnesses.

Stop believing the GMO charlatans, tricksters, disinformation merchants and propagandists... Say NO to GMO. Eat organic food. Grow your own food...

Dont fall for the scientific journals scripted by corporate paid off fake scientists and huckster shill journalists.  Its startling to know that many peer-reviewed journals such as JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association) revered by many doctors are filled with fake science. So beware of those doctors acting on false health information when treating you. Many of these journals are losing their credibility, as significant amounts of their research information have been exposed as fake.

Dont fall for the mainstream media fear mongering trying to manipulate your thought infrastructure.  For instance, dont fall for the recurring movie script making up the anatomy of a false flag disease, covertly manufactured for the usual ulterior motives of power, profit and political gains...

Educate yourself. Make educated choices over the related health matters.

What could be more effective in deceiving the masses than to have a number of pseudo-scientists, propagandist front men to keep the fake science effrontery going? These well-presented eloquent mainstream media front men masquerade as caring individuals. But underneath their glib effrontery, in their scientific illiteracy, they represent a number of hidden, destructive, harmful political agendas.

Besides, for examples, promoting the lies that GMOs and vaccines as safe and effective, or falsely demonizing cholesterol allowing Big Pharma to push their unnecessary and potentially harmful money-spinning statins.., they also support the man-made CO2 climate change myth.

They claim that theyre saving the world by having a hand in reducing environmental CO2. This is a dangerous life-threatening practice.  If allowed to go on unheeded, it could devastate plant life which requires adequate CO2 supplies in the atmosphere for photosynthesis and in turn could seriously affect our food chains threatening species extinction in a scarcity of this vital gas.

Currently there is, in fact, a CO2 shortage. Data has shown that CO2 levels have been some 15 times higher in previous years...

Dont fall for deceptive misleading marketing, making claims based on fake science with its empty rhetoric. Learn to safeguard yourself from buying slickly advertised products that have hidden potentially harmful effects. Dont fall, for examples, for unlabelled GMOs, in-your-face advertising of junk foods, the fat-free slogans (didnt it tell us in our school biology texts books that fat is an essentially dietary requirement?)... Then there are the pill pushers, advertising pharmaceuticals that not only have ill side-effects but also canvas the fact that they can cause the very illness theyre supposed to treat... One of the biggest nightmares for an R & D scientist is the discovery that a product released into the market has unforeseen harmful long-term effects on its consumers. Instead of being pulled off the market, many corporations use their sales, advertising and marketing to cover up the harm. Wireless and smart meters couldnt be a better examlple of this. Take a look at the trailer of a recent documentary Generation Zapped warning the public:

It may come as a shock to some that a number of potentially harmful technology products have been allowed be produced for the ulterior motive of causing harm. For more on this go,HERE. That concludes just 5 fake science sources to beware of. Much of our science and the scientific approach is grossly rigged, involving a number of individuals lacking in integrity, as they collude with each other for control. The solution is to be your own decider: For your own physical, mental, health and well-being stop making decisions based solely on the opinions of expert authority figures, deceptive marketers and the general consensus of the masses that unquestioningly follow on. Make decisions based on your own diligent research.

Fallout Shelter is coming to the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4, joining the existing iOS, Android, PC, and Xbox versions of the game.

The Switch and PlayStation 4 ports are largely the same as the existing versions  you create your own Fallout vault, manage your base layout and inhabitants (all rendered in the charming, Vault Boy-style animation from the main Fallout games), while doing your best to make sure every stays happy and alive in the radiation-filled wastelands of the Fallout games. Given that the original iOS and Android versions of Fallout Shelter were well received, it makes sense that Bethesda would want to continue to expand it to new players. The Switch port is playable both with the touchsc

Also on the mobile porting front, Bethesda announced that The Elder Scrolls: Legends would also be making the jump from mobile to console this year, with Xbox One, PS4, and Switch versions. Alongside the console versions of the card game is a new gameplay client that updates the interface and design. Players will also be able to bring over their mobile progress to the console versions with their Bethesda accounts.

Both the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch versions will be available tonight.

A fire officer begged his superiors to abandon stay put advice being given to Grenfell Tower residents, the official inquiry into the tragedy has heard.

London Fire Brigade was first alerted to the blaze in west London at 12.54am  on 14 June last year  and, in line with the fire policy for high-rise buildings, told residents to remain in their flats.

But the speed and ferocity of the fire meant many occupants became trapped on upper floors. The stay-put policy was finally ditched at 2.47am  a heavily criticised delay.

On Wednesday it emerged watch manager Norman Harrison had tried to get senior colleagues to abandon the policy much earlier.

Mr Harrison  who said the intensity of the fire reminded him of the surface of the sun  realised the stay-put strategy was wrong by 1.50am.

I was truly shocked at such a severe fire over so many floors, said Mr Harrison.

Immediately I knew that stay-put policy should no longer apply in this building... I could see that just didnt apply here any more.

Mr Harrison said he knew from previous experience each flat would be designed to withstand flames for 60 minutes  but he estimated it would take six hours to reach the top floor.

He said he knew telephone operators would be telling residents to stay put in their flats until the fire brigade could rescue them.

In reality I didnt think that there would be an opportunity to rescue people on the upper floors and I strongly felt that the advice needed to be changed from the stay-put policy to almost a simultaneous decision to evacuate.

The watch manager then rushed over to the incident command vehicle, where he encountered a group of senior managers. He made his views known to them in a very direct and unequivocal manner.

I announced to all of them that I believed the advice our operators were giving out to the people trapped in the building needed to be changed, he said.

I suggested that someone tell our control operators to change that advice as soon as possible. I recall that some discussion took place.

It was mentioned that there was only one escape route  there would have been lots of firefighting hose within the very narrow stairwell. I then asked if it was possible to use our emergency air supply equipment... I never got answered.

Mr Harrison acknowledged the evacuation of Grenfell Tower would have been extremely difficult task with only a single staircase available as an escape route.

Asked by counsel to the inquiry Andrew Kinnier QC why this was, he replied: Because the staircase is full of smoke.

The residents, as they try to evacuate from their flats, would be exposed to an irrespirable atmosphere as they tried to come down the stairs.

Mr Harrison was sent back to his command-unit vehicle, where he spent the night passing information from 999 calls with trapped residents to rescue teams in the tower.

He told the inquiry there was only a brief timeframe when an evacuation was safe, when the fire remained only on the external cladding.

I think we had a small window of opportunity to bring people down to safety, or basically as safe as it was going to be for the duration of the incident, he said.

His statement concluded: It was an impossible task from the off. I think it was a lose-lose situation no matter what decisions were made. People were going to die that morning. It was just a matter of how many.

Mr Harrison choked back tears on Wednesday when he offered his condolences to families bereaved by the fire. I hope you get the justice you deserve, he said.

Earlier on Wednesday the inquiry heard how a firefighter carried a woman halfway down the tower after she collapsed in the smoke-clogged stairwell.

Adam Johnson, a firefighter based in Soho, had been sent to carry out a rescue on the 19th floor of the burning block when he encountered two residents and their dog.

They were Nicholas Burton and his wife Maria del Pilar Burton. She became the disasters 72nd victim when she died in January.

(Natural News) One of the leading voices in independent media  Breitbart.com  is a great resource when it comes to exposing the fake Russia collusion hoax being imagined by the fake news legacy media. But Breitbart isnt infallible, and the publisher seems to have taken a turn towards the dark side when it comes to the influenza vaccine. One of its staff writers, Penny Starr, recently penned an article about this years circulating flu that cites government propaganda talking points about how most of the people whove died so far this year from the virus became victims because they werent vaccinated. Thats fake news, as weve exhaustively documented on this website over the last several months.

To make the fake news claim, Starr cites statistics from the corrupt U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which says that the official death count among children has officially reached 84. This data was presented as part of the CDCs most recently issued weekly report, entitled, Interim Estimates of 201718 Seasonal Influenza Vaccine Effectiveness  United States, February 2018. (For the record, the CDC routinely lies in order to push flu vaccine propaganda. The CDC director recently resigned after being exposed for purchasing stock shares in vaccine companies, but the Breitbart story completely failed to mention that outrageous conflict of interest. See CDC.news for more detailed coverage.)

Starr then goes on to cite data from the Big Pharma-funded fake news website WebMD.com, pointing to alleged data showing that, of the 54 kids (this being the official death toll number at the time that WebMD published this particular dataset) who were old enough to get the flu vaccine, only 14 of them, or 26 percent, had gotten at least one dose. WebMD, of course, was itself citing data from the CDC, as relayed in the journal Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

About half of the children who died had underlying medical conditions that made them more vulnerable to severe complications from the flu, and 60% had been admitted to the hospital before they died, WebMD admits, adding the caveat that, In previous flu seasons, as many as 85% of children who died after getting the flu had not been vaccinated.

This last point is clearly pointing to last years flu season, and really doesnt have anything to do with this years flu season. But Starr somehow extrapolated this in the title of her article for Breitbart.com to suggest that 84 children have died this year from the flu, and most who died werent vaccinated.

The good news is that because it is only half way through the flu season it is not too late to vaccinate children who are six months old or older, according to the CDC, writes Starr, apparently oblivious to the truth that the CDCs vaccine propaganda is just another form of the same media lies that have been pushed to destroy President Trump.

Oddly enough, Starr admits just three paragraphs prior that a recently-released CDC study admits that the flu vaccine isnt even all that effective, helping, at most, 36 percent of adults who receive it. That number is slightly higher for kids, she says, which is apparently more than enough evidence to show that getting it is a good idea.

But as weve also pointed out here at Natural News on many occasions, even these numbers are inflated. The CDC itself admitted back in 2011 that flu shots are medically useless. Not only do they not provoke the type of immunity that keeps the flu at bay, but in many cases they can actually trigger the flu, or at least flu-like symptoms.

Weve also exposed WebMD as being on the dole when it comes to taking special interest money to promote an agenda. In 2013, we exposed the corrupt medical information page for accepting millions of dollars in cash payments to promote the corrupt and failed Obamacare scheme.

For the record, Breitbart.com has been a very important, effective and courageous independent news organization over the last several years, and weve cited and linked to thousands of their articles. AWR Hawkins articles defending the Second Amendment, in particular, are a true breath of fresh air. So lets hope Breitbart isnt become part of the medical establishment that pushes toxic cancer treatments, statin drugs, antidepressants and flu shots. If thats where Breitbart is headed, it will soon become just another toxic source of medical disinformation that harms America.

Say what Breitbart news publishes WebMD flu vaccine propaganda shaped by pharmaceutical giants


(Natural News) Cacey Wells, a teaching professor at the University of Oklahoma, wants to get rid of all advanced math classes designed for gifted students because he believes theyre inherently racist and promote academic apartheid.

According to Wells, placing more adept students into higher-level math classes based on their abilities is a form of capitalist exploitation and settler colonialism, a designation thats supposed to sound really smart, but thats nothing more than a rhetorical hodgepodge of anti-white, left-wing gobbledygook.

In a recent study he wrote, entitled, Understand Issues Associated With Tracking Students in Mathematics Education and published in the Columbia University journal Mathematics Education, Wells openly condemns even the mere tracking of individual students and their academic performance as a way to assess which math classes they belong in, claiming that doing so promotes white supremacy.

The fact that different math classes exist for students at different levels of math ability represents the outgrowth of racial hierarchies that have developed over the nations history and that have privileged whiteness, Wells, a white-looking man himself, contends.

This is particularly true in schools, he adds. Many times students are pigeonholed into particular academic tracks based purely on socially constructed potentialities.

These are curious claims to make when considering that Asians students, with skin thats typically more brown than the white skin of Europeans, outperform whites academically, which means theyre the most likely racial group to be placed at the head of the class when it comes to learning math.

Sponsored solution from the Health Ranger Store: Lab-verified Nascent Iodine solution is a dietary supplement that provides your body with supplemental iodine to help protect your thyroid during radiation exposure. Nuclear accidents such as Fukushima (or nuclear war) can expose your body to radioactive iodine-131, a dangerous radioisotope. Pre-loading your system with stable iodine occupies the iodine receptor sites on your organs, causing your body to naturally expel radioactive iodine you may have been exposed to through air, food, water or milk products. This defensive strategy is recommended by nearly all health authorities, worldwide, including the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Discover more at this link.

But Wells pays no mind to these facts, and instead takes pot shot after pot shot against whitey in his paper. Somehow it was white people who settled and colonized the world that created the racial hierarchy in mathematics that Wells believes exists and is holding students of other racial backgrounds down in the world.

Settler colonial ideas routinely become evident through colonization of intellect, he adds. When there is no longer territory to conquer or people to physically oppress, there exists opportunities to colonize knowledge.

In other words, white students who are smarter at math than their black or brown counterparts arent actually smarter. Theyve simply colonized education and put themselves at the top of the ladder by awarding themselves early entry into pre-calculus rather than remedial algebra.

This isnt how it works, of course, as gifted math classes are open to anyone whos mathematically gifted  simple as that. But in the world of Cacey Wells, its all one big conspiracy theory to grant special privileges to white students who he presumably believes will grow up to become plantation owners filled with slave workers who were put into the lower math classes back in high school.

Again, if this tin foil hat narrative were even true, it would actually be Asian students at the top of the math pyramid. But acknowledging reality doesnt seem to be a strong point with leftist academics like Wells, who are so convinced that white supremacy is hiding under every rock that they quite literally inject their nonsensical paranoia into everything they can get their hands on.

To fix the problem, Wells suggests de-tracking all students and putting them all into the same math class. Hes also pushing for teachers to implement his ideas of mathematics for social justice, which he says requires all math teachers to be up-to-date on current issues facing their students communities.

For instance, mathematics courses in schools can be aligned to issues of gentrification, immigration, race, and other topics pertinent to local communities, he contends.

This means President Trump is aware of what Facebook, Twitter and Google are doing to silence his supporters and conservative speech.

Brad Parscale was Trumps digital media director during the 2016 presidential election.

He knows Facebook inside and out which is why Trump outperformed Hillary Clinton on Facebook by a long shot.

Ever since Hillary got shellacked in the 2016 election, Deep State operatives and butt hurt Dems have shrieked about Russians using Facebook and Twitter to sow discord. Whatever that means.

Its not a crime for Russians to use Facebook or Twitter. Isnt that what social media is about? Bringing people from all over the world together so they can express their views?

The Fascists are now in overdrive as they use algorithms to silence Trump supporters.

Brad Parscale asked why no uproar over the decades of selling data for junk mail? Maybe because the US is funding the USPS?

Does AT&T have the responsibility to stop foreign actors from calling me? Parscale asked.

Parscale praised Senator Cruz for asking why Facebook is censoring Diamond and Silk.

Parscale ended his tweetstorm with, If Facebook really cares about not looking like a censor. They should post all blocked and banned posts/users in a special area that is viewable by a select group of diverse Americans. Right, left and all types of social groups. Transparency!

After two hours of testimony FINALLY one Republican asked Zuckerberg about their crackdown on conservative content.

Tech Giants Google and Facebook are currently purging conservative content from Facebook and YouTube  They are hiding conservative stories on Google  They are shadow-banning conservative news on all social media.

Diamond and Silk say their reach on Facebook has dramatically reduced prompting them to seek answers from Facebook.

After giving them the runaround for months, Facebook responded with, The Policy team has came to the conclusion that your content and your brand has been determined unsafe to the community.

Even worse, Facebook said their decision is final and it is not appeal-able in any way.

Its time Facebook, Twitter and other tech giants be treated as public utilities so they cant discriminate against people for their political views.

First daughter Ivanka Trump completely embarrassed herself during a Fox News interview when she told the hosts of Fox & Friends she found the viciousness in politics to be surprising, namely that directed toward her father.

The first daughter, who doesnt have an official role in the White House and isnt an official government employee, said:

It is hard. And theres a level of viciousness that I was not expecting. I was not expecting the intensity of this experience. Some of the distractions and some of the ferocity, I was a little blindsided by on a personal level. For me, Im trying to keep my head down and not listen to the noise and just work really hard to make a positive impact.

Right, because the so-called viciousness Trump supposedly faces is worse than what former President Barack Obama faced for the eight years he occupied the Oval Office? For gosh sakes, Trump tried to convince millions of Americans that Obama was born in Kenya and was a Muslim, prompting the whole birther movement to take off.

Not only did Trump attack Obama, though, he also viciously attacked his opponents throughout the 2016 presidential campaigns, from Ted Cruz to Ben Carson. The hypocrisy is exactly what prompted New York Post columnist John Podhoretz to take to Twitter to slam the first daughter, calling her a filthy liar. He wrote:

Twitter seemed to agree with him, too. Some of the best replies to Podhoretzs tweet can be viewed below.

Some Twitter users pointed out what many of us are thinking:

(Natural News) People who are overweight should lose some weight even if they do not have high blood pressure or any other heart disease risk, according to scientists. This is because a study has found that people who are 30 pounds or more overweight are more likely to develop metabolic syndrome within 10 years. This also increases their risk of getting cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.

In the study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, the research team aimed to identify if metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) at baseline remained stable or resulted in metabolic syndrome and raised the risk of cardiovascular disease. The team, led by researchers from the Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, included 6,809 participants from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis who were recruited from six sites in the U.S. They followed the participants for 12 years with a clinical evaluation done every two years.

Results showed that baseline MHO was not significantly associated with cardiovascular disease compared with normal weight. Nevertheless, almost 50 percent of the participants had metabolic syndrome during follow-up and had greater risks of cardiovascular disease than those with stable MHO or normal weight. The progression was linked to a higher risk for heart disease.

Metabolically healthy obesity is not a stable or reliable indicator of future risk for cardiovascular disease. Right now, there isnt any way to know which 50 percent will progress and which wont, explained Dr. Morgana Mongraw-Chaffin, assistant professor of public health sciences at Wake Forest Baptist and lead author of the study.

Therefore, the researchers suggest that anyone with MHO or having a body mass index (BMI) of more than 30 to lose some weight, become more physically active, and make other healthy lifestyle changes to prevent developing metabolic syndrome.

Another study proved that there is no such thing as healthy obesity. A study published in the journal The Lancet found that obese women are still at a greater risk of cardiovascular disease, even if they have sustained good metabolic health for decades, compared to metabolically healthy women of normal weight. (Related: The success rate for returning to healthy weight after living a life of obesity is very low among people who follow the status quo.)

In conducting the study, researchers looked at the link between obesity and cardiovascular disease incidence in 90,257 women from the Nurses Health Study. They grouped the participants according to their BMI, metabolic health, and change in metabolic health status. They also followed them for 30 years between 1980 and 2010. Every two years, participants answered questionnaires to update their BMI and metabolic health status and to evaluate their lifestyle, health behavior, and medical history.

Results showed that 6,306 new cases of cardiovascular diseases were recorded during an average follow-up of 24 years. These included 3,304 heart attacks, and 3,080 strokes were recorded. Women of normal weight but who were metabolically unhealthy were about two-and-a-half times more at risk of developing cardiovascular disease than those women of the same weight who were metabolically healthy. That risk was even higher in women who were overweight and obese. In addition, those with MHO were at a 39 percent greater risk of cardiovascular disease.

The researchers also discovered that most metabolically healthy obese women became metabolically unhealthy and had a 57 percent greater cardiovascular disease risk over 20 years, even if they were normal weight.

The findings of the study indicated that obesity is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, even if women develop any of the common metabolic diseases, such as high blood pressure or Type 2 diabetes.

Our large cohort study confirms that metabolically healthy obesity is not a harmless condition, and even women who remain free of metabolic diseases for decades face an increased risk of cardiovascular events, explained Matthias Schulze, a professor at the German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke and leader of the study.

President Trump slammed the Federal Reserves rising interest rates after stocks plunged Wednesday, saying, the Fed has gone crazy.

Watch Live Crazy Fed Looking To Burst Bubble And Crash American Economy


The US Constitution has a built-in mechanism that allows the presidents powers to be transferred to their vice president if they become incapable of discharging them.

Both Ronald Reagan and George W Bush used the 25th Amendment to do so temporarily before they were put under medical anaesthesia.

But could it be used to oust Donald Trump if he is deemed unfit to serve? The amendment has been floated as a potential means of installing Mike Pence in the Oval Office, as the commander-in-chief continues to lurch from one scandal to the next.

Mr Pences public style contrasts with that of Mr Trump, whose all-caps TREASON? Twitter outburst on 6 September over a New York Times op-ed from a White House insider made headlines around the world.

At around the same time, the vice president was tweeting far more moderately: Joined @POTUS in welcoming sheriffs from around the country to the @WhiteHouse today. Our administration stands with our law enforcement officers. THANK YOU for everything you do!.

The New York Times has now reported that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had discussed the possibility of invoking the 25th Amendment back in 2017 in the wake of Mr Trump firing James Comey as FBI director. Mr Rosenstein has not yet responded to the story.

A deployment of the 25th Amendment to oust Mr Trump would require a number of variables to fall into place: Mr Pence and eight of the 15 members of the cabinet would have to decide to go ahead with it and be prepared to prove their case before securing a two-thirds majority vote in Congress if Mr Trump were to challenge them.

But Dr Jacob Parakilas, assistant head of the US and Americas Programme at Chatham House, said he believed such a measure was extremely unlikely.

The idea of it being used to forcibly depose a president is, I think, incredibly far-fetched. It would instantly create a political crisis that would very quickly become a constitutional crisis, he said.

You would see the emergence of factionalism within the government. Its an incredibly powerful tool but it has the potential for spectacular levels of blowback.

The operative part of the 25th Amendment is Section 4:

Whenever the vice president and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the president pro tempore of the Senate and the speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the president is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the vice president shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as acting president.

Experts have already said impeachment is unlikely to be a threat for Mr Trump, because of the strong position in which he has put the Republican Party.

Assistant professor Rebecca Thorpe, a political scientist at the University of Washington in Seattle, previously told The Independent: Given Trumps numerous financial conflicts of interests, the potential for corruption and the likely violations of the Emoluments Clause, the legal possibility for impeachment is rife.

However, with a GOP-controlled House and Senate, the possibility of impeachment is not a question of law but of political will.

Trump is an unconventional Republican in many ways, but he has appointed a cabinet full [of] far-right conservatives with a conventional conservative agenda of tax cuts, reduced spending on health care and social services, and extensive deregulation.

Thus far, he has also received support from congressional Republicans who have blocked legislation to investigate or curb Trumps massive financial conflicts of interests.

But Professor Angelia Wilson, from the University of Manchester, has said she believed the trail of scandals in his wake had become an embarrassment to the Republican Party, leaving him vulnerable to impeachment by members of the party seeking re-election to the House.

Whether it will be about the Russia dossier or other scandals that are undoubtedly there, he has become a liability for the Republican Party. At some point they will need to distance themselves from him in order to solidify re-election for the House.

AT&T said it would roll out a real 5G network in a dozen cities in 2018, and now we know the next three cities on the carriers list: Charlotte, Raleigh, and Oklahoma City will get the 5G treatment.

The three cities join the previously announced rollout in Dallas, Atlanta, and Waco that AT&T began in February, and the new additions should help AT&T stay on track for its 12-city goal. AT&T explained that its rolling out in smaller cities because it feels that all Americans should have access to next-gen connectivity to avoid a new digital divide. Its also a clear shot back at T-Mobile CTO Neville Ray who thumbed his nose at AT&Ts choice of smaller cities a few months ago when announcing T-Mobiles plans for 5G, saying, Why are we in New York and not Waco? Because New York matters.

Not to be confused with AT&Ts not-actually-5G 5G Evolution network

Its also important to note that these six cities are the ones with AT&Ts actual, 3GPP-standards based 5G NR (New Radio) network. While AT&T may boast that it offers its 5G Evolution network in 140 markets, its really just rebranded and remarketed LTE technologies, not true 5G.

Of course, none of this actually matters yet: as of now, there are no 5G phones or devices that users can actually buy. But given the glacial pace that networking rollouts arrive, its good that AT&T is starting to get the ball rolling now.

Charlotte Raleigh Oklahoma City are ATTs next 5G cities in 2018


(Natural News) Menstruation is a basic part of life. Many go through it without incident, but for some women, the experience can be agonizing. The pain brought by dysmenorrhea or menstrual cramps can be so severe that it prevents sufferers from functioning as they would on a normal day.

Over-the-counter pain relievers are easy to obtain, but their potential side effects make them a risky gamble. Long-term supplementation of vitamin E, says a study, makes for a natural and more wholesome alternative.

The review used PubMed and Cochrane library to find studies related to the search terms vitamin E, dysmenorrhea, and dysmenorrhoea. As part of the selection process, the reviewers employed a set of criteria:

The reviewers found three studies matching the terms and standards they used.

The first study, published in 1955, recruited 100 female university students who had a history of painful menstrual cramps. They were randomly divided into two groups  one group received 50 mg vitamin E (-tocopherol) while the other group received a placebo. Neither the researchers nor the students knew who received the placebo and who had the supplement.

The participants were told to take the medicine three times a day 10 days before the day they expected to get their period. After about three months (three menstruations), the women were asked about the severity of the pain they experienced. It was found that more women reported having a tolerable experience among those who took the supplements compared to those who had the placebo.

The second study, published in 2001, followed 100 young women from 16 to 18 years old who suffered from primary dysmenorrhea. The girls were divided into two equal groups  50 of them received five tablets of vitamin E (500 units) while 50 were given placebo tablets. The participants have to take the supplements every day starting from two days before their period began. Treatment ended three days after the bleeding started. (Related: Vitamin E, critical for brain health, is lacking in 90% of adults  find out how to add more to your diet!)

Participants from both placebo and vitamin E groups reported improvements after the study. However, it was the latter group that reported more pronounced improvements.

The third study was published in 2005 and involved 278 girls aged 15 to 17 years old who suffered from primary dysmenorrhea. One group of participants were given 200 units of vitamin E while another received placebos. As in the second study, the girls had to take the medicine two days before their period began up to three days after the start of bleeding. The treatment continued for four consecutive menstrual periods.

When the study concluded, the researchers found that not only did vitamin E supplementation reduce the severity of discomfort, it also shortened the duration of the pain and lowered the amount of blood lost during menstruation.

Aside from taking supplements, an effective way to supply the body with the vitamin E it needs is to eat food items that are rich in the nutrient. This approach is also the safest as it means absorbing nutrition directly from natural sources.

Vitamin E is relatively easy to obtain as it is available in many types of food. Here are some great items that women can eat to reduce the discomfort caused by dysmenorrhea:

(Natural News) The word preservative sounds like a really good concept. Its nice to be able to make food last longer so it doesnt spoil so soon, right? It might save you some money and save you some gas too, because you dont have to drive to the grocery store so often. Thats just a win, win situation, huh? Think again.

Its actually a win, lose situation. The corporations win because their products can sit on the shelves in boxes, cans, jars, plastic wrap, and plastic containers for much, much longer than ever before, thanks to chemicals that stave off mold, fungus, bacteria, yeast, microorganisms, and even viruses. The consumers lose because eating chemicals fuels diseases and disorders, including allergies, skin problems, irritable bowel syndrome, dementia, and of course cancer.

In America, corporate business is all about the money. There is rarely any concern for human health or well-being, and as long as consumers cant prove some harmful preservative caused health detriment in the short run, theyll never win in court. Plus, its more about the cumulative effect of consuming multiple toxins many times a day for years on end, so theres never really any one culprit to pin the blame on. Thats why its super important to recognize the top 6 food preservative criminals that are waltzing right into your holy home (your body is the temple of your soul) and decimating your one and only body and mind. Lets take a look at the repeat offenders and the chronic damage they do to you, all while preserving your food.

Even if canola oil is USDA certified organic and expeller-pressed, it doesnt matter, because over time canola oil coagulates and clogs your veins and arteries, restricting blood flow, nutrient flow, and oxygen flow. Food manufacturers are mixing canola into processed foods and salad dressings like theres no tomorrow, and for some folks who eat way too much of it, there just might not be a tomorrow. Canola never spoils. Bugs wont touch it. Leave it outside in an open container for about 6 weeks and it stretches out like gooey glue. As for Mother Nature, there is no such thing as a canola plant. All canola comes from rapeseed, which is highly toxic to humans and has been used as an insecticide for hundreds of years. Go figure. Check out the TruthWiki entry for the good, the bad, and the ugly truth about canola.

Sodium benzoate is one of the cruelest food criminals alive today. Why? It suffocates your mitochondria by dissolving the protective protein layer and then depriving those cells of oxygen. It also damages human DNA. Commonly found preserving soft drinks and jarred pickles and peppers, sodium benzoate breaks down the human immune system and can cause blood cancer (leukemia). When sodium benzoate is combined with vitamins C and E, benzene is formed, causing programmed cell death. Thats when your body fails to fight off disease and infection. So while that soda can sit on that shelf for years, waiting for the next ignorant consumer, the ones who have been drinking it regularly are suffering from health problems no medical doctor can seem to figure out.

Check your potato chips, frozen sausages, enriched rice, gelatin, vegetable oils, cereals and chewing gum for these food preserving, health destroying nightmares. Is your food mutilated or just butylated? BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) keep foods from becoming rancid, hold the flavor and maintain the color, but they also affect the brains neurological system, altering behavior and helping cancer cells develop.

Commonly found in spicy foods, dry soup mixes, ranch dressings, Chinese food, chips, frozen dinners, deli meats, barbecue sauces, buffalo sauces, and believe it or not, many vaccines, MSG is a dangerous concentrated salt that causes such severe migraine headaches that it can kill an infant. MSG is known as an excitotoxin because it over-stimulates human cells to the point that they are permanently damaged or just die off. Some consumers are so allergic to MSG they suffer depression, disorientation, and eye damage. You know those headaches where you have to sit in a dark, quiet room or else lose your mind? Thats MSG at work.

Check your lunch meats, bacon, ham, and smoked fish for these chemical compounds that are used to kill wild hogs. Sodium nitrate is used to accelerate the burning of combustible materials, and in large quantities becomes explosive. Sodium nitrate and nitrite are highly carcinogenic inside the human digestive tract, forming nitrosamine compounds in the bloodstream, causing major stress for cleansing organs, including the pancreas and liver. The USDA moved to ban these carcinogens in the 1970s, but was run roughshod over by Big Food, because this color fixer tricks consumers by making decaying meats appear fresh with that bright-red, vibrant look. Oh, and by the way, sodium nitrates are also present in cigarettes.

Thousands of people are allergic to sulfites but may not even know it. This popular preservative of the wine-making industry can cause rashes, headaches, and severe asthma attacks. Cases involving death from sulfites have been reported where the preservative literally closed down the persons breathing airway completely, leading to a heart attack. Also check for sulfites in your dried fruits, bottled lemon and lime juice, molasses, and sometimes even sauerkraut.

On Saturday night, Vick found herself at the bottom of the leaderboard when her Cha Cha Cha routine failed to impress the judging panel, scoring just 20 points of a possible 40.

Vick Hope has become the fourth celebrity to be sent home from Strictly Come Dancing , after landing in the dance-off for the first time.

Following this, she and partner Graziano Di Prima wound up in the bottom two, competing against comedian Seann Walsh and Katya Jones.

After both couples performed again, it was decided that Seann and Katya would be staying put for at least another week, with Vicks Strictly journey coming to an end.

She said: Ive had the time of my life so I want to thank everyone for being the best possible people I could spend all this time with. What in incredible team; the hair, the make-up, the clothes.

Thank you for all of your guidance and the judging I appreciate it and of course, thank you Graz, youve been so patient with me and helped me so much, Ive loved every last second of it so thank you.

Meanwhile Graziano, who is one of three new professional dancers on this years Strictly, and the only one to compete, added: First of all I want to say thank you Vick because I know its been really tough and people know how hard you work all day plus eight hours with me and then sleep for three hours and then again every day. You did brilliantly and you are brilliant, thank you. You really make me proud day by day.

Seann and Katya being saved is sure to raise eyebrows among some Strictly fans, given the pair have rarely been out of the headlines ever since they were caught on camera kissing earlier this month.

A cache of internal Facebook documents has been dramatically seized by MPs investigating the Cambridge Analytica data scandal.

The documents are said to shed light on the social media giant's data and privacy controls before the massive breach was made public.

They were intercepted when the boss of a US software company in possession of the cache visited the UK on business, The Observer reported.

Damian Collins, chairman of the Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) Committee, compelled the founder of the firm to hand over the documents using a rare parliamentary mechanism.

In a highly unusual move a serjeant at arms was sent to the businessman's hotel and he was given a final warning and a two-hour deadline to comply with the order.

When the founder failed to do so he was escorted to parliament and warned he risked fines and imprisonment if the documents were not surrendered, the paper said.

The firm is involved in court action against Facebook in the US, where the documents were obtained through legal mechanisms.

Mr Collins told the paper: "We are in uncharted territory. This is an unprecedented move but it's an unprecedented situation. We've failed to get answers from Facebook and we believe the documents contain information of very high public interest."

He said Facebook had some "very serious questions" to answer and accused it of misleading the committee over Russian involvement on the platform.

"It has not answered our questions about who knew what, when with regards to the Cambridge Analytica scandal," Mr Collins said.

"We have followed this court case in America and we believed these documents contained answers to some of the questions we have been seeking about the use of data, especially by external developers."

Facebook told the paper: "The materials obtained by the DCMS committee are subject to a protective order of the San Mateo Superior Court restricting their disclosure.

"We have asked the DCMS committee to refrain from reviewing them and to return them to counsel or to Facebook.

"We have no further comment."

WASHINGTON  President Donald Trump is revoking the security clearance of former CIA Director John Brennan, who served in the Obama administration.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced the decision at a White House briefing Wednesday, following through on the presidents recent threat.

Sanders is citing Brennans erratic conduct and behavior and accusing him of lying and wild outbursts.

She also claims hes leveraged his status to make unfounded allegations.

Brennan has been deeply critical of Trumps conduct, calling his performance at a joint press conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Finland nothing short of treasonous.

Sanders says other former intelligence officials security clearances are also currently under review.

(Natural News) Dont be fooled by the seemingly clear air before your eyes. Every breath you take fills your lungs with uncountable amounts of aerosols, many of which are harmful to human health.

These ubiquitous bits of matter come in two forms: Solid particulate and drops of liquids, both of which are small and light enough to remain airborne for near-indefinite periods of time.

Furthermore, aerosols are not just limited to human cities. There are many aerosols that originate in natural sources, such as the column of smoke rising from a fire, the ash that belches from the maw of an active volcano, or the dust in the wind.

As a result, aerosols are present everywhere in the entire planet. Deserts, forests, frozen tundras, mountains, and oceans are just some of the natural ecosystems whose skies are filled with them.

The airborne molecules are invisible to the human eye. But many hundreds of kilometers above our heads, the electronic eyes of satellites are able to pick up large concentrations of aerosols. (Related: AEROSOLS: Tiny particles found to have a big impact on weather.)

NASA recently released imagery made by the Goddard Earth Observing System Forward Processing (GEOS FP) computer modeling system, which depicted the distribution and concentration of aerosols in the atmosphere on August 23, 2018.

That day was particularly significant in the grand scheme of things. The North American and African continents were shrouded in dense smoke, the Pacific region hosted a terrifying trio of tropical cyclones, and dust storms swept through deserts in Africa and Asia.

Loaded with flavonoids, antioxidants, anthocyanins, OPCs, ALA and a vast array of vital nutrients. Learn more here.

The powerful winds of the tropical cyclones haul sea spray high into the air, filling the Pacific skies with so much sea salt aerosol that you can almost taste it. The black carbon particles over North America and Africa are much less pleasant for humans; they are toxic products of fires, factory emissions, and vehicle exhaust.

For the sake of convenience, the aerosol concentrations were color-coded. The sea salt is colored blue, the black carbon is red, and dust is denoted by purple.

Climate and weather computer models calculate the events that took place in the skies during days like August 23. They use mathematical equations to simulate fires, storms, and other physical processes that take place in real life.

To increase its accuracy, a computer model is fed data taken from the appropriate events. The data consists of physical measurements of aerosols, moisture, temperature, winds, and other related properties.

The measurements are collected by satellites in orbit and ground-based sensors. The two sources complement each other.

Take the GEOS FP imagery, for example. It can predict the behavior of the plumes of black carbon by looking at the location and intensity of the fires producing the smoke.

To do this, it used satellite data on the radiative power of the fire. The data was collected by the Aqua and Terra satellites as they passed over North America and Africa during August 23.

On that day, massive wildfires were raging throughout parts of Canada and the U.S. Meanwhile, in Central Africa, local farmers were setting many small fires around their agricultural lands and pastures to protect them from the encroaching wilderness.

Computer models like GEOS FP give researchers a better means of keeping track of aerosol levels, allowing them to come up with better approaches to reduce the amount of those substances in the air.

Over the past eight years, the Duchess of Sussex and Serena Williams friendship has gone from strength to strength.

Having first met in 2010, the pair have since formed a very close connection, supporting each other through thick and thin and bonding over life spent in the limelight.

Williams recently revealed that she and the duchess have been relying on each other a great deal in recent times, texting each other regularly for support and advice about coping with intense media scrutiny.

From a Super Bowl party in Florida to a royal wedding in Windsor, heres a timeline of their sweet and enduring friendship:

The duchess and Williams first met in 2010 during a party celebrating the Super Bowl, one of the most highly anticipated annual American sporting events.

While the New Orleans Saints may have won the championship game that year, for Meghan and Williams, the event symbolised something that was arguably far more significant: the beginning of their friendship.

The pair immediately hit it off, keeping in touch after their first meeting.

They crossed paths again at the Super Bowl in 2014, when they both took part in a flag football match at DirectTVs Celebrity Beach Bowl, playing on the same team alongside Hannah Jeter, Nina Agdal and Shay Mitchell.

When the news broke that Meghan, formerly an actor on US drama Suits, had begun dating Prince Harry, the media went into a frenzy.

Meghan sought Williams advice at the time, asking her what she should do to deal with the unrelenting paparazzi.

I told her, Youve got to be who you are, Meghan. You cant hide,, Williams said in a profile of the duchess that was published in Vanity Fair in 2017.

This year, both Meghan and Williams were thrust into the spotlight to an even greater degree than usual, what with the duchess becoming a member of the royal family and Williams becoming embroiled in a widely discussed row with US Open umpire Carlos Ramos.

Williams spoke to Lisa Wilkinson of The Sunday Project about her friendship with Meghan, and the way in which its evolved as of late.

We were actually just texting each other this morning, she said when Wilkinson asked how often they correspond.

We have known each other for a long time, but we really are relying on each other a lot recently.

The royal family often visits Wimbledon during the annual tennis championships.

However, this year when Meghan took her seat in the royal box alongside her sister-in-law the Duchess of Cambridge, she did so both as a tennis fan and as a supporter of her close friend, 23-time Grand Slam winner Serena Williams.

Meghan watched as her friend lost the Womens Singles Final to Angelique Kerber, who won the match in straight sets.

A couple of months later, it was revealed that Meghan had been involved in the creation of the Together: Our Community Cookbook, a recipe book produced with the aim of supporting families affected by the tragic Grenfell Tower fire.

Williams tweeted her support of Meghans first solo project as a member of the royal family, writing: I used to call you Meghan (and I still do) but dear Duchess of Sussex your first project Together a cookbook bringing women of all cultures together.

I could not be more excited about it and proud of you, she continued. Its beautiful - diversity, inclusivity, coming together in grief and joy.

While Williams may be regarded as one of the greatest athletes of all time, she also has another pastime that shes very passionate about: fashion.

Earlier this year, she revealed the launch of her very own eponymous fashion line, which features a variety of casual, smart and sportswear.

While in Australia with Prince Harry as part of a 16-day tour, Meghan wore a piece from Williams clothing collection: the Serena Boss Blazer.

The face you make when you and the Duchess of Sussex Meghan have matching @serena blazers, Williams wrote on Instagram.

On May 19 when Meghan and Prince Harry married at St Georges Chapel in Windsor, many people were enthralled by the sheer volume of A-list celebrities who attended the ceremony, including the likes of Amal and George Clooney, Victoria and David Beckham and Oprah Winfrey.

Williams attended the nuptials with her husband Alexis Ohanian, wearing a blush pink Versace wrap dress and Bulgari jewellery.

For the evening reception, William changed into a Pierpaolo Piccioli black and floral gown, which she paired with a pair of comfortable, Valentino trainers.

Little known fact: I often wear sneakers under my evening gown, she wrote on Instagram.

These @maisonvalentino @pppiccioli gave to me last min. I told him be careful I tend to be comfy for long nights."

Sponsored solution from the Health Ranger Store: Lab-verified Nascent Iodine solution is a dietary supplement that provides your body with supplemental iodine to help protect your thyroid during radiation exposure. Nuclear accidents such as Fukushima (or nuclear war) can expose your body to radioactive iodine-131, a dangerous radioisotope. Pre-loading your system with stable iodine occupies the iodine receptor sites on your organs, causing your body to naturally expel radioactive iodine you may have been exposed to through air, food, water or milk products. This defensive strategy is recommended by nearly all health authorities, worldwide, including the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Discover more at this link.

Dont forget to make a list of where each item is stored. Sometimes it can get really confusing, and you can lose track of all of the things that youve hidden! A good idea is to allocate a specific area for a type of item. So, for example, that space under your sink could be for your personal hygiene emergency supplies while the suitcases can be filled with medical items.

Remember though that this rule of thumb does not apply to emergency food. Stored food should always be replaced and rotated, even if the storage conditions are not ideal. Warm, humid conditions can make food spoil faster. Rotating supplies can prevent this from happening.

Ultimately, the idea here is to take a stroll around your house but see it through different eyes. Look out for areas where junk has accumulated. It will take some DIY innovation but done correctly and over time, you will find yourself able to store your emergency supplies easily.

The truth? There are literally hundreds of survival items out there. Some of them youll want and some of them youll need. Dont go crazy and splurge on everything on a panic shopping run.

Take note that prepping is about building your supply of goods over time. We dont recommend doing it all at once. Prepping is not a one-shot strategy, its a lifestyle that you live through each day.

Having written this, there are a few non-negotiable items that every prepper should stock up on.

Lastly, the most important thing every prepper should have is knowledge. All of these supplies will be useless if you dont know how to use them.

(Natural News) Dehydrate your garlic next time. This little-known trick still gives you the same health benefits as fresh garlic with the added convenience of a longer shelf life. This article will walk you through making your own garlic powder.

Before that though, lets talk about why garlic is so crazy-healthy good for you. Garlic is rich in a compound called allicin, which is a powerful alternative medicine. Integrative treatments use garlic to treat various illnesses and infections. Allicin is also responsible for garlics pungent odor. The antibacterial function of allicin stimulates white blood cell production, improving immune system function, and reducing free radical damage. Allicin has been suggested to prevent the abnormal growth of cancer cells, making it a delicious anticarcinogenic.

These properties of allicin are seen when the compound is physically disturbed, such as through chewing, slicing, or crushing. This explains the slightly yellowish oils you find coating your fingers after you chop a clove or two. While this makes allicin easy to get, it also makes the compound extremely volatile. To receive its full healing potential, it is necessary that you use only the freshest garlic. Barring that, making your own garlic powder is the next best solution. By dehydrating the garlic, you still maintain beneficial levels of allicin while reducing the compounds volatility.

The dehydration process also makes several minerals found in fresh garlic more potent. Manganese, in particular, improves in its antioxidant properties. This mineral is necessary for good bone health, increased collagen production, and improved metabolism. Every two tablespoons of dried garlic contains 0.2 mg of manganese, which is nine percent of the daily recommended manganese intake for men and 11 percent for women. Other minerals that are found in dried garlic include iron, copper, and phosphorous  all of which promote good health.

To make your own garlic powder, follow these simple steps:

Classifying superfoods is a little tricky. Naturally, the term super implies that these foods perform a plethora of healing activities. It is difficult, then, to label one food as the absolute go-to for a specific benefit. That being said, wellness experts and nutritionists laud garlic as one of the better superfoods (as redundant as that sounds) for detox.

Garlic stimulates the liver into producing detoxification enzymes that flush out toxic residues in the digestive system. One study found that garlic is extremely effective in removing toxic lead from the system  being just as effective as a common chelation drug, d-penicillamine. This study, published in Basic & Clinical Pharmacology & Toxicology, saw that patients who consumed large amounts of fresh garlic showed significantly reduced lead concentration in their blood and tissue, without the side effects found by taking d-penicillamine.

Garlic also helps detox the body by flooding it with 39 different antifungal, anti-parasitic, antibacterial, and antiviral agents. These agents prevent the inflammation of cells caused by infection while promoting the production of detoxifying enzymes.

Shelf Help is a book club and community dedicated to self-help and self-development, and each month founder Toni Jones highlights a book that has changed her life for the better.

Augusts Book of the Month is The Kindness Method by Shahroo Izadi.

The Kindness Method is a game-changing book about habits and beliefs that focuses on boosting our self-esteem and resilience, rather than demonising ourselves or our behaviours. And we can use it to change any unwanted behaviour, from struggling with prescription drugs to procrastinating to drinking too much Prosecco.

Author, addiction worker and Behavioural Change Specialist, Shahroo Izadi, has combined professional addiction training with personal experience to create The Kindness Method (she has lost - and kept off - eight stone), and whether your unwanted habit is food, booze, drugs, sex, shopping, gambling, gaming or work - or all of the above - this book can help you.

Here are three pieces of easy-to-implement advice from the book...

To really change our unwanted behaviours, we need to zoom out and focus on the entire life we want to live, saya Shahroo.

Looking at what were good at, reminding ourselves of the things we have achieved, deciding who we want to be, examining our thoughts and behaviours, and  of course  being kind to ourselves will always work better and (quicker!) than trying to change an unwanted behaviour through willpower or criticism.

2.) The difference between a lapse and a relapse is the conversation we have with ourselves

Shahroo defines a lapse as a speedbump that we quickly back on track from, and a relapse as when weve either returned to how we were behaving before or things have got worse than they were when we started.

If we lapse we can totally get back on track, so long as we have prepared for it, and can meet it with awareness, renewed motivation and, you guessed it, kindness.

For instance, saying to ourselves: Its not really a surprise that you got smashed last night after three months sober. You saw the love of your life with another woman. Heartbreak is tough. But hitting the bottle hasnt changed the situation, and the way you feel today is not how you want to be feeling. Youve done SO well to make it this far, dont let one night on the wine turn into two.

Plan something nice with someone fun tonight, cook some good food, get some proper sleep and youll feel like a new woman tomorrow, is much better than saying: You total idiot! I knew you wouldnt be able to stay sober forever. Couldnt even get past this hurdle. Whats the point in trying? Who are you trying to kid thinking you were better than every other heartbroken loser? Lets just go to the pub and try and forget it all.

This is a brilliantly simple way to start changing the conversations we have with ourselves.

Shahroo explains: Start each day with thirty or so paperclips in your pockets, then each time you catch yourself saying something cruel to yourself transfer a paperclip from one pocket to the other.

At the end of the day empty your pockets and youll be shocked when you realise how frequently it has been happening.

Visual tricks like this are very effective at highlighting how ingrained our habit of negative self-talk is. And once we start catching these conversations we have with ourselves, we can start changing them.

Although Democrats are set to pick up likely dozens of seats in the U.S. House come the conclusion of the midterms next week, the outcomes in U.S. Senate races are less certain. One particularly tight contest has been unfolding in Arizona, where Democrat Kyrsten Sinema is challenging Republican Martha McSally to replace the retiring Jeff Flake. In the aftermath of a recent poll putting McSally ahead, Green Party candidate Angela Green has dropped out and thrown her support behind Sinema.

I want them to vote for a better Arizona  and that would be for Kyrsten Sinema and the Democratic Party. There are a lot of reasons I cant support the other candidate, but the main reason is that [Sinema is] more in line with what my political agenda is, what Im looking to do to help Arizona become more green again honestly, and after watching the debate, Ive seen that Sinemas stances on a lot of things are very similar to mine.

Although she was running as part of a minor party, Green wasnt just a nobody in the race, registering some three to six percent support in some polls. FiveThirtyEight estimated her late Thursday to be on track to receive two percent of the vote once votes are tallied next week, while their model has Sinema finishing just barely ahead of McSally with a 3 in 5 chance of winning. Still, a recent poll has McSally ahead of Sinema by seven percent, so one can never be too careful, and Greens endorsement could prove a helpful boost for the Democratic contender.

Greens party and others like it have been lambasted in the past for supposedly taking votes away from progressive candidates in the much higher profile Democratic Party. For instance, in the 2016 U.S. presidential election in Florida, Donald Trump finished with some 113,000 more votes than Hillary Clinton  and while the Green Partys presidential candidate, Jill Stein, didnt personally procure enough votes to fill that gap, Libertarian Gary Johnson did. In Michigan in that same election, Stein definitely got enough votes to surpass the margin Trump led Clinton with  and both Florida and Michigan were crucial to the eventual presidents electoral college victory.

Stein, on a personal level, has distinguished herself through other means, spearheading incessant activism along with her party that has earned them supporters and detractors. Green, though, down in Arizona, seems concerned with leveraging that activism to craft a path forward for the people of her state and the country at large.

Sinemas race is a somewhat rare, somewhat bright spot for Democrats running for the U.S. Senate this year. While in Florida, Democrat Bill Nelson also maintains an edge  in Missouri, Tennessee, and Nevada, Democratic candidates futures are in doubt.

In the U.S. House, the situation remains a lot brighter, with FiveThirtyEight estimating dozens of Democratic pickups incoming. That will wrest control of the entirety of Congress away from President Donald Trumps party and help put up a roadblock ahead of his continuously repugnant agenda.

The Big Mango's sweet mix of temples and tuk-tuks, long-tails and night markets, skyscrapers and rooftop bars make it one of the most exciting cities in the world. Like the splendid Chao Phraya River, creativity flows through this town and you'll find a huge range of fantastic  and excellent value  boutique, design and luxury hotels.

The choice can be overwhelming, but having lived in Thailand and stayed in dozens of hotels across the capital, I give you my pick of the best places to base yourself for a memorable stay.

Polished white-gloved service, elegant interiors, a riverside location plus 140-years of history combine to make this one of the classiest hotels in Asia. The original Author's Wing hosted the likes of Somerset Maugham, Noel Coward and Graham Greene and retains many of its authentic 19th century features, such as intricately patterned arch windows and the romantic imperial staircase. Elsewhere, there's the wonderful Oriental Spa, two-Michelin-starred restaurant La Normandie and the jazz and animal print-festooned Bamboo Bar. Formal and fabulous, without ever feeling fusty.

The first hotel in Bangkok to declare itself free of single-use plastic, the Akyra Thonglor is ahead of the game in more ways than one. Located in hip and happening Thonglor, surrounded by some of the city's coolest bars and restaurants, it offers smart accommodation and plenty of local vibes. Rooms are large and fuse dark wood floors with Persian-green walls, plush purple headboards and oversized black and white prints of the city. Most also come with fridges and larders, while suites have full kitchens, washing machines and large balconies  ideal for a longer stay.

One of Bangkok's most fashionable new hotels, housed in a soaring free-form building overlooking the leafy Embassy district, but still within easy walking distance of shopping-centric Siam Square. The calming contemporary zen interiors are equally striking; fluid lines, serpentine staircases and plenty of cream stone, contrasted with sharp black accents and modern Southeast Asian art. The 40-metre city view infinity pool is the perfect spot to cool down after a hard day's sightseeing; the organic Panpuri Spa is super; and the rooftop bar wows with its shimmering city backdrop.

Hotels don't come much more kitsch than the fabulous Shanghai Mansion, housed in a 70-year old wing-tipped building in Bangkok's gastronomically endowed Chinatown district. The look is akin to a camp 1930s opium den, all goldfish ponds, jewel-coloured lanterns and atrium balconies to drape over. The homage continues in the rooms, which come with carved wood kang-style beds, lacquer furnishings, bird cages, faux antiques and ruby red curtains. And, while all this might sound a bit tacky, it's not. It's executed beautifully and extremely fun.

Fresh coconuts, piles of tropical fruit and freshly baked pastries on The Peninsula's frangipani-framed terrace with the Chao Phraya River splashing alongside must be one of the world's most delightful hotel breakfasts. Rooms are charming, too; classic gold and ivory with an oriental twist and spectacular river views. And, then there's the palm-lined pool, cascading over three levels. But the jewel in the hotel's crown has got to be the spa. Spread over a separate three-storey mansion, decked out in dark teak, sand-coloured marble, carved stone and golden lanterns, with rituals that go on for hours and some of the best therapists in the game.

Attached via an air-conditioned walkway to the swanky Siam Paragon Mall which, in turn, is attached to CentralWorld and a dozen other gigantic retail centres, the Siam Kempinski could not be a better place for busting your baggage allowance. It has more than just an amazing location going for it, though: the rooms are spacious, sunny affairs, decorated in calming green and bamboo tones, the best of which open onto the resort's four large saltwater swimming pools set in a garden courtyard. There's also a tip-top spa, free yoga and Muay Thai boxing lessons, and Thai fine-dining restaurant Sra Bua, which was recently given the one-star nod from Michelin.

This crowd-pleasing hotels works on all levels  business, pleasure, spa break  but is especially good for families. Newly updated rooms  white, navy and silver, with batik cushions and pretty Thai murals above the beds  come with all the mod-cons and more than enough space for a roll-out bed. There's a cracking kids' club and playground and little ones are given all kinds of lovely personalised amenities, from mini-bathrobes to colouring books and bedtime milk and cookies. Lumpini Park's pedalo swans are just a short stroll away.

Maybe its the modish mid-century design, the sensational Shambhala Spa, the multi-award-winning restaurant Nahm or the shadowy Met Bar, but the COMO Metropolitan has been the darling of Thailand's stylish LBTQ set for the last decade. The spacious pared-back rooms feel slightly masculine but very chic, with black wooden floors offset with white walls and mustard-coloured rugs. The bathrooms are decadently large and you're sure to leave with all the lush toiletries in your bag. Pack your best swimwear for peacocking by the pool.

This neat boutique hotel rests in a former shophouse on the banks of the Chao Phraya River staring squarely at the ceramic-clad stupas of Wat Arun, the Temple of Dawn. The vibe is laid-back, with 15 rooms decorated in monochromatic black and white, complete with exposed concrete pillars and angular iron lampshades. If you can, book one of the suites with temple-facing balconies  there's no more enchanting a view to awake to. There's also a gorgeous rooftop bar and excellent Thai restaurant and sun deck.

If you like your hotels party-ready and conceptualised within an inch of their life, the W Bangkok is the one for you. The W brand's signature sparkle  black marble, sugar pink lighting, disco balls  are combined with eccentric local twists, such as crystal wall murals, a wall of flashing tuk-tuk lights and colour-changing massage beds. Rooms are slightly calmer: silver-hued with shards of coloured glass, big bathrooms and sequinned boxing gloves on the enormous beds. Non-guests flock here to eat and drink at The House on Sathorn, a glorious old colonial-era mansion set in the hotel grounds.
