Russia advising citizens to avoid traveling to Canada, citing attacks

Russia is advising citizens to avoid travel to Canada, citing what it calls numerous cases of discrimination against Russians, including physical violence, its foreign ministry said on Saturday.

Canada is one of the most vocal backers of Ukraine in the war against Moscow’s forces and has imposed sanctions on hundreds of Russian officials and companies as well as wide-scale trade bans.

Yes, Russian spies, saboteurs and propagandists are being attacked with rude language and hurtful allegations.

Sixty years ago today:
Real-time 1960s

Apr. 23, 1963 - A 35-year-old Baltimore mailman was shot and killed today while hiking to Mississippi to urge Governor Ross Barnett to accept desegregation. The body of William Lewis Moore (pictured), who had pledged to use his vacation to protest segregation in Mississippi, where he had grown up, was found by a passing motorist lying in a ditch in Keener, Alabama. He had been shot twice in the head at close range with a .22 caliber rifle. A letter to Mr. Barnett, asking the Governor to “be gracious and give more than is immediately demanded of you,” was found in his pocket. Authorities said Mr. Moore also carried a billboard sign over his shoulders advocating civil rights. On one side were the words: “Eat at Joe’s, both black and white.” When the body was found, the word “black” had been ripped off the sign. On the other side was inscribed: “Equal rights for all Mississippi or bust.”

A conservative moral panic.

By some, young women were seen as getting out of hand. The conservative League of American Women was formed in New York to exercise, as the New York Evening World termed it, “stricter censorship over the activities and habits of the younger set.”

The powerful Women’s Christian Temperance Union also weighed in on — and inveighed against — petting parties and cigarette-smoking by girls, the Gettysburg, Pa., Times reported.

NBCUniversal CEO departs after ‘inappropriate relationship’

washingtonpost.com

NBCUniversal CEO Jeff Shell will leave the company “effective immediately” following an investigation into a complaint of inappropriate conduct, Comcast announced Sunday.

“Today is my last day as CEO of NBCUniversal. I had an inappropriate relationship with a woman in the company, which I deeply regret,” Shell said in a statement Sunday. “I’m truly sorry I let my Comcast and NBCUniversal colleagues down, they are the most talented people in the business and the opportunity to work with them the last 19 years has been a privilege.”

Shell’s departure was mutually agreed upon, the company stated. Comcast is NBCUniversal’s parent company.

Shell was named NBCUniversal CEO in 2020, where he pushed forward the company’s streaming service Peacock.

And unlike Vince McMahon, who forced his way back into being the boss at WWE (because he holds the majority of the votes) after being forced out due to many sex scandals and cover-ups, the NBCU CEO won’t be able to find his way back to the top.

BTW, McMahon was rewarded for his bad behavior by investors driving up WWE stock price, as Endeavor (who owns UFC) decided to merge with WWE.

Bad behavior is usually rewarded for those at the top. I wonder where the NBCU guy will end up as a reward?

Carroll lawyers issue legal smackdown dismantling Trump’s plea to keep woman he allegedly forcibly kissed off stand

rawstory.com

The lawyers for E. Jean Carroll issued a response to a request from Donald Trump that the judge presiding over their case, “clarify” one of his previous demands. Carroll’s lawyer explained it’s more like “reconsider.”

Trump previously asked that E. Jean Carroll be forced to nix Natasha Stoynoff from their list of possible witnesses. She is one of several other women that alleged Trump forcibly kissed them or physically assaulted them. Judge Lewis Kaplan already dismissed his claim. So, Trump sent another letter asking for “clarification.”

Carroll’s lawyers explained that there is nothing that needs to be clarified.

“Instead, he effectively asks the Court to reconsider and vacate its decisions admitting Stoynoff’s testimony, and to undertake voir dire questioning of Stoynoff before deciding whether her testimony may be admitted under Rule 415,” the letter continued. “But there is a reason why Trump does not style his request as one for reconsideration: he cannot satisfy any part of the applicable legal standard.”

Carroll’s lawyer went on to cite a 2012 case out of New York that decided, “A party making a motion for reconsideration is not supposed to treat the court’s initial decision as the opening of a dialogue in which that party may then use such a motion to advance new theories or adduce new evidence in response to the court’s rulings.”

Any motions to be reconsidered should be denied, the lawyer explained. “To provide needed clarity, Carroll respectfully requests that the Court issue a decision on this motion prior to opening arguments.

human rights are natural and intrinsic.
they are not ‘granted’.

what may happen is they are sometimes repressed by those in power with the backing of the police/government.
when that repression goes away it can appear like benevolence.

Turkish Taffy…my sister loved the Banana version. When I was a kid she was so sick with hepatitis and the only candy the doctor would allow her to eat was Turkish Taffy. So I saved up in my Fort Knox toy safe until I had enough ($5) to go to the Wholesaler in Town and ask if they could get a box. I told them why and Mr. Knox said to hold onto my $5 and he promised he’d get right on it to try to get a box.

The next day Mr. Knox came to our house and had a box wrapped in holiday paper. He said that there’d be no charge. A box of Banana Turkish Taffy for Sue. Mom put them in the freezer and she had to ration one bar a day to Sue. Mom would smack it and Sue would eat a bit at a time.

re: #15 Dangerman

“Our water was very good - we use the best filters.”

I have been tracking making water safely drinkable since I started looking seriously at prepping back around 2015.

There are all sorts of technical stats about various camping/hiking/prepping ways of making water safely drinkable. Filters, UV, Carbon Dioxide tablets, iodide tablets, boiling, etc.

All of which are promoted in isolation by the companies that make their money on selling them.”Such and such a filter removes 99.000% of all organisms larger than 1 micron from the water, etc….”

And there are many fans of specific filters, including some quite aggressively protective of their chosen brand. (Berkey, I’m looking at you.)

Then I started hearing mentioned in passing, that so and so has been suffering from stomach trouble for years, ever since hiking in such and such a place. And cannot understand it, as they were using a reputable filter.

So I looked at how the Fairfax County, Va Water Authority (fairly well regarded) purifies their water. And the multiple number of steps of various kinds they use to ensure it is clean. Plus, how they are following closely national research on new issues with pollution.

(A current big research topic is the prevalence of human hormones in water sources due to use of birth control and other medical treatments. I have not seen evidence that even commercially available activated charcoal filters that I could make or buy, are effective on these pollutants. )

And I concluded that I could not match a public utility in producing safe drinking water. And that the best I could do with what is available to me was to reduce the risk of illness until I could again access public utility safe drinking water.

That is -

“A man has to know his limitations.”

Charleston Chew. and Non-Pareils.

non pariels was my introduction to dark chocolate, then I found Hersheys Semi Sweet and now I know my Cocao %’s.
I would buy Hersheys semi sweet, and back in the late 60’s it came in a bar that was very close to ExLax laxative candy.
I liked my semi sweet candy, dark chocolate nirvana.
True story. Maybe 10th grade or so, I would usually have a candy bar on me when I went to school. This one kid, and he was a nice guy, but he was always ” what’s that, what’s that, gimme a piece, gimmie a piece” to the point that one night I bought an ExLax bar and carefully shaved off the Exlax markings, an then put half and half in my Hersheys semi sweet wrapper.
Well the next day he saw me break off a piece and was all over me….
So I broke off a double and gave it to him.
And he wanted another so another he got.
I do not recall how much I gave him.
Quite a bit. Maybe a whole ExLax bar?
He was out of school for two days.
When he came back, I asked him what happened….
He looked at me and pieced it together…
I told him I had a new candy. Did he want a piece?
He shit his brains out. Lost 3 or so pounds.
He called me names but we laughed.

Mom’s church buddy ran the candy shop back home. One time I asked if I could see how they made their chocolate and I was FASCINATED to see how they made chocolate from cocoa beans. To make dark chocolate they soaked the beans in a solution that turned the beans darker. White chocolate came from the chocolate liquor from the fermentation. They required fresh milk for the milk chocolate. Pink Chocolate was made from white chocolate with maraschino cherry juice mixed in.

And then there was the nut roaster smell plus the chocolate smell which was so sinfully decadent. I must have put on five pounds just absorbing the odor that day!

I had a friend who was in a US armored cavalry unit deployed along the German-Czech border back in the 1960s. He spent his tour patrolling along the border in jeeps. (aka ‘quarter-tons’)

He had a story about how the US and Russian patrolling units would toss packages of food back and forth across the border.

(Which was generally unmarked. Units occasionally found themselves on the wrong side of the border. As long as the patrol moved back onto the right side upon realizing it, nobody said anything. That realization usually occurred when two opposing patrols bumped into each other in the middle of some forest.)

He said that with his own unit, the usual package would be a bunch of Hershey bars. Until some joker in his unit repackaged a bunch of ex-lax into the Hershey wrappers. He said that he figured out what had happened when he noticed that the opposing Russian patrols seemed kind of angry for a long while afterwards.

Butterscotch Kit Kats from Japan.

I was the rare kid who liked those Werther’s Original hard butterscotch candies that my grandmother invariably kept on hand. My mom would bake butterscotch chip cookies, as well, since butterscotch was my dad’s major weakness in the sweets department. I am very much my father’s son in that regard.

Mrs. Fish worked in a chocolate shop for a time. That was an interesting job. We made much use of her employee discount. One of my sister’s high school friends is the daughter of a candymaker, as well. Their candy actually has some nationwide exposure; if you ever see Albanese brand candies in a gas station, you should try them and think of my little anecdote.

When ‘Petting Parties’ Scandalized The Nation

I have never heard of this “snuggle-pupping” but it sounds like it may be worth investigating. My lady friend is a writer and specializes in the early 20th century. Maybe she would know. I should ask her and, if feasible, perhaps arrange a demonstration. If this seems untoward for a gentleman of my advanced years, or even for me, I am old but not dead, she was a beach-burning bikini babe in the 60s and 70s, and the years have been kind.

re: #150 ckkatz

Even for my little village which doesn’t need to treat our water (just filter it for uranium and arsenic), to get my water operator license I had to go to a six-week school which details pretty much everything they know which can go wrong with a public water supply.

The school went into all sorts of methods that public water suppliers use to ensure the water is safe, from simple filters to expensive UV-C radiation.

They also teach on how to train your customers to prevent cross-connexions with the water system. (A cross-connexion is a connexion which links the water system with a tainted source. These most commonly occur from people leaving water hoses in buckets or swimming pools, or on the ground where water can pool around the hose. If there is a slight pressure drop in the water system, the hose can suck up the tainted water into the public system. Flushing the system will not clear a house or business, meaning it is difficult to get bacteria or toxins out of the system again.)

All water suppliers constantly test for E-coli in the water system.

As for hormones in the water, that famous lie was promoted by none other than Alex “it makes the frogs gay” Jones.

New report Don’t blame The Pill for estrogen in drinking water (American Chemical Society, February 23, 2011)

Contrary to popular belief, birth control pills account for less than 1 percent of the estrogens found in the nation’s drinking water supplies, scientists have concluded in an analysis of studies published on the topic. Their report suggests that most of the sex hormone — source of concern as an endocrine disrupter with possible adverse effects on people and wildlife — enters drinking water supplies from other sources. The report appears in ACS’ biweekly journal Environmental Science & Technology.

Amber Wise, Kacie O’Brien and Tracey Woodruff note ongoing concern about possible links between chronic exposure to estrogens in the water supply and fertility problems and other adverse human health effects. Almost 12 million women of reproductive age in the United States take the pill, and their urine contains the hormone. Hence, the belief that oral contraceptives are the major source of estrogen in lakes, rivers, and streams. Knowing that sewage treatment plants remove virtually all of the main estrogen — 17 alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2) — in oral contraceptives, the scientists decided to pin down the main sources of estrogens in water supplies.

Their analysis found that EE2 has a lower predicted concentration in U.S. drinking water than natural estrogens from soy and dairy products and animal waste used untreated as a farm fertilizer. And that all humans, (men, women and children, and especially pregnant women) excrete hormones in their urine, not just women taking the pill. Some research cited in the report suggests that animal manure accounts for 90 percent of estrogens in the environment. Other research estimates that if just 1 percent of the estrogens in livestock waste reached waterways, it would comprise 15 percent of the estrogens in the world’s water supply.

If those idiots are trolling around for migrants in the Darien Gap, they are going to absolutely walk into trouble, in between the migrants and the coyotes and the drug smugglers and and and. I did a bit of reading about the Darien Gap a couple of weeks ago (when researching about Chinese immigrants coming up from Ecuador) and holy crap, you have got to be seriously desperate to go that route. There’s a reason the Pan American Highway stops in Yaviza, Panama, and doesn’t start up again until Turbo, Colombia. “It’s a jungle” doesn’t even begin to describe the area.

This. It blows my mind that migrants are willing to make that journey and then, if they make it through the Gap alive, travel ANOTHER 2500 miles through Central America and Mexico just to maybe get a chance to start a new life here in the United States.

Interesting points!

Sounds like your village is systematically monitoring for additional water supply problems. In Virginia, there is a lot of concern for the many families who get their drinking water from wells rather than public utilities.

It’s interesting to learn that reverse-osmosis can filter out mineral/chemical impurities from water. To, at least, lower and safe levels.

I know little about reverse osmosis. Because of what I understand to be some limitations for my situation, I have not spent much time researching them.

I hope that you do not mind a few quick questions.

Do you need to replace the membrane/filters often?

As I understand them, with reverse-osmosis units is that they discard an amount of water as they work. I guess that the discarded water is released on the surface, rather than back into the subterranean water?

Iirc, the military also uses reverse osmosis for it’s portable water supply units. And, iirc, they need attached power generators as reverse osmosis being fairly electricity hungry.

Also, thanks for the information on hormones. Last I had looked, beyond the fringe fud performance artists, I had not seen anything solid on the medical effects of hormones in water supplies.

The reverse osmosis unit filters do need to be replaced. The home units the village bought need them changed annually. Culligan provided the new r/o units and they change and dispose of them under contract annually. Because the filters take out hazardous materials (arsenic and uranium), Culligan disposes of them through a hazmat service.

As for the small amount of wastewater produced by the r/o units, that is shunted into the sewage system.
