After all the traffic problems last year Scott County has approved a new conditional use permit for the festival -partially based on limiting the number of cars parking on site to 7000. They are also looking at selling date-specific parking vouchers online with a higher charge for patrons paying for parking at the gate. No word yet on parking deals for season ticket holders. They are talking about three park & ride locations with MN Valley Transit and are in talks with SW transit and Richfield bus company for possible more locations.

Hi everybody, I have been studying (and then using) English for over 10 years and at this point I feel quite confident in my communication skills.However, I have a job that often requires talking in public to international audiences with varying levels of English. To make people understand me better, as well as for my personal preferences, I would like to gradually smooth out my original accent and move towards a standardised version of British English, somewhere along the lines of what some call "modern RP".
I recorded the first paragraph from this article in the London Review of Books, the first vocaroo is me speaking with my normal English-speaking voice, recorded on the first try and only paying the attention I would whenever speaking.
The second vocaroo is a recording of me trying to put on a bit of a British accent, to me it sounds quite silly but I wanted to see if you thought I was moving in the right direction.
Finally, let me know if you can spot where I am from, I think there are quite a few telling signs, but I am curious to hear your opinion.
Thanks in advance!

If you are not alarmed, your are not paying attention. Governments cannot print money without the value of money being diminished., This causes rates to go up, inflation to raise prices and values to soar.
But wait... the central banks borrowed the money at low rates and spent it. The cost to pay back the money has doubled. They are stuck.
When a country is famous for banking (Switzerland), and the 2nd largest bank in the country goes under what can be done? The country bails it out. The active political power (read deep state) gives the assets to the largest bank in the country to make sure the banking system is stable (read: the status quo is maintained).
Silicon Valley Bank was the haven for tech firms with a reputation of supporting the left. Progressives would regularly make HUGE donations to political causes and buy immunity from regulation.
Equity has gone missing. This seems like the little guy is being set up again. Common sense is no longer common.
EFFICIENCY: Getting the best result is the desired outcome. From the energy we spend we expect proficiency, which is practical and considerate of the scale. When we produce results, there is a cost that should result in an economic benefit. Time and effort are the cost that we trade for equity which is stored value that can be exchanged for time and effort. This is all that we can ever bring to the table.
Capital is equity and evidence for the results that our time and effort yield. As we grow and learn, we should understand ways to be more effective. We learn to use tools and engage with others to augment these components. Employing capital and using our gained wisdom will result in equity growth. Equity is stored efficiency, be it an educated mind or the capital we control, it can be called upon in a rainy day. We can employ a skilled laborer, use better tools or do more with the same time and effort when efficiency is employed. Make the most of your experience, tools, and skills; then, you will be intelligent with your equity and productive without costly extra time and effort.

My name is Thomas Saul, I am a member of the Skatin Nations tribe in British Columbia, Canada. I am of Salish, and European descent. I began this project around May 2021 when news broke about the Kamloops residential school where the remains of 215 children were allegedly found. As a teenager I briefly Attended Norkam secondary in Kamloops, and have friends and family who still live in Kamloops, so this hit close to home. Upon my research into The origin of this residential school I found that Israel wood Powell, a Freemason, was the Indian Superintendent at the time it was built. Four generations of my family attended residential schools, some in Port Alberni and some Mission City, so naturally I wanted to know more. I have come to the conclusion that Colonisation, Freemasonry, and residential schools go hand in hand. Its a Fact, both the United States and Canada would not exist without Freemasonry, Therefore many Freemasons played a leading role in the genocide of Indigenous Americans. “Freemasonry, as it exists in various forms all over the world, has a membership estimated at around 6 million worldwide.”
Genocide: The UN definition, which is used in international law, states that genocide is: "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group," as such:(a) "Killing members of the group;"(b) "Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;"(c) "Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;"(d) "Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;"(e) "Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."
The supreme governor of the Church of England is the head of the Church of England, a position which is vested in the British monarch. The father of the Royal Proclamation of 1763 King George III was not a Freemason, George III had announced that the colonies would no longer seize Native lands or purchase them without treaties. Starting in 1763, no English settlers could legally travel through or acquire land west of the Appalachian Mountains. The proclamation specifically stated that Native Americans had been subject to “great Frauds and Abuses” and that their sovereignty should be protected. Freemason Thomas Jefferson in his list of 27 grievances accused the king saying “He has excited domestic Insurrections among us, and has endeavoured to bring on the Inhabitants of our Frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known Rule of Warfare, is an undistinguished Destruction, of all Ages, Sexes, and Conditions.’’ Thomas Jefferson did this to build support for the revolutionary act that the Declaration of Independence would represent. It was suspected that the Freemasons were behind the Boston Tea Party, the American War of Independence, the french revolution, and Napoleonic France triggering British prime minister William Pitt’s, the Unlawful Societies Act of 1799 where he aimed to see Freemasonry abolished. Some Freemasons addressed Pitt explaining how vast their membership is and its connection to Royalty and As a result, Freemasons were excluded from the Act, but lodges were obliged to return a list of members to the local Clerk of the Peace every year, which are recorded in the Quarter Sessions.1. King George IV reigned from the death of George III until 1830, he was the first of many British Freemason kings and was the head of the Anglican church. William IV, Edward VII, Edward VIII, George VI were also masons. In the 209 years since the Union of the Premier and Ancient Grand Lodges to form the United Grand Lodge of England, a member of the Royal Family has been its Grand Master for more than 150.
A Freemason warrant of constitution is the Document which authorizes or gives a Warrant to certain persons therein named to organize and constitute a Lodge, Chapter, or other Masonic Body. The first Warrant for a military Lodge was issued by the Grand Lodge of Ireland in 1732 to the First British Foot Regiment. Within a few years the Grand Lodge of Scotland and both the Grand Lodge of England, Modern and Ancient were issuing Warrants to military Lodges. In 1733, 18 men gathered at the Bunch of Grapes Tavern on King Street in Boston and organized the first Masonic Lodge in North America. The first record of a military Lodge Warrant being issued in the new world happened during the French and Indian Wars. It was issued by the then Provincial Grand Master at Boston to the 28th British Foot in an expedition against the French at Crown Point. Edward Cornwallis became founder in December 1748, of a military Lodge in his regiment, the 20th. Foot, No. 63, on the registry of the Grand Lodge of Ireland. The warrant was issued to Lord George Sackville, Lieut. Col. The Hon. Edward Cornwallis and Captain Milburne. When in 1759 this famous regiment gained new honors at the battle of Minden, that name was immediately adopted as the name of the lodge. Cornwallis’ second lodge was founded in Halifax early in 1750 or possibly earlier, under a “deputation” or dispensation from Major Erasmus James Philipps of the 40th. Regiment at Annapolis Royal, Provincial Grand Master for Nova Scotia under Henry Price of Boston. Of this lodge, known as the First Lodge, Cornwallis was the first Master. Cornwallis In October 1749, issued an order that came to be known as the Scalping Proclamation. His government would pay a bounty to anyone who killed a Mi’kmaq adult or child in a bid to drive them off mainland Nova Scotia.
Sir William Johnson, an agent for the British Indian Department met Joseph Brant, a 9-year-old Mohawk boy while doing a land deal with Joseph's father King Hendrick. Sir William eventually started a common-law relationship with Joseph's sister Molly giving him incredible power over her tribe. Johnson groomed young Joseph Brant to become a loyal warrior and eventually leader of the six nations tribe. At 13 years old Joseph accompanied Johnson on his first tour with the military. Missionary Samuel Occham, a student of Eleazar Wheelock (father of The Great Awakening) procured a 19-year-old Joseph Brant to attend Moore's Indian charity school in Lebanon Connecticut with the blessings and charity of William Johnson. Freemasons Benjamin Franklin and Benedict Arnold had also donated money to Wheelock’s cause. William was the British Crown's first superintendent of Indian Affairs for the colony in 1756 and Joseph Brant was appointed as a captain in the Indian Department. Many Freemason colonists were high-ranking military who waged many wars on the Indigenous American population, scientists say so many Indigenous people were killed as a result of colonization it caused a mini ice age. After the North American wars, many Freemasons took positions as Indian agents helping to remove and segregate the native population. Anyone who wanted access to the six nations had to go through Indian agent Sir William Johnson and his family which includes the Brant family and the Kerr family through various marriages. At one point Johnson proposed that the moor's Indian Charity School move from Lebanon, Connecticut, to Johnstown but it never happened. Eventually, Johnson withdrew the support for Wheelock. In a letter Wheelock had suggested to Lord Dartmouth "The Nations will not make war with us while their Children, and especially the Children of their chiefs are with us” Dartmouth college claims that In 1766, Johnson was invited to join the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (SPG), the largest and most influential Anglican missionary society in the 18th-century British-Atlantic world. He began working to place Anglican missionaries like Freemason and bishop Charles Inglis, rather than Congregationalist and Presbyterian ones, among the Six Nations. I believe Moore's dubbed “the great design” was the original model for the Mohawk Institute and the Canadian residential school system.
On April 10, 1766 Sir William Johnson was raised to the position of Master Mason of St Patrick's Lodge No. 4 where many Freemason Indian agents like John Butler, Guy Johnson, Sir John Johnson, William Johnson Kerr, Christian Daniel Claus, Gilbert Tice, George Croghan and A protégé of Reverend Eleazar Wheelock, Rev. Samuel Kirkland attended. In 1770 Johnson's fellow St Patrick's lodge Freemason Rev. Samuel Kirkland coincidentally parted ways with Wheelock and Moors charity school. Eventually Kirkland founded the Hamilton-Oneida Academy as a boys' school in central New York. In 1776 Joseph Brant was initiated into the Freemason fraternity in London England where it is rumoured a benefactor of Moors charity school king George III gave Brant his masonic apron. When Brant returned to Canada he became affiliated with Lodge No. 11 at the Mohawk village on the Grand River, of which he was the first Worshipful Master, and later affiliated with Barton Lodge No. 10. Joseph Brant invited fellow Freemason and grandson of Eleazar Wheelock to be a minister to the Mohawk. To Joseph It was imperative that Freemason Rev. Davenport Phelps was made minister of the Mohawks, so he reminded the Bishop, through Sir John, of the pledge which the Archbishop of Canterbury had made to him in the presence of the King, that whenever the Indians, by the erection of a church, should be ready for religious instruction, he would do all in his power to supply their wants. A Freemason named Rev. Robert Addison helped make this happen. Mr Addison, a relative of William Johnson, had been minister to the Six Nations and Joseph Brant and Freemason John Norton were his translators. Freemason Reverend Davenport Phelps and Jarvis Wheelock, the brother of Eleazar, were invited to Canada and granted land by Freemason and founder of the family compact John Graves Simcoe, the man behind the Simcoe patent. Mrs Simcoe in her Diary says, “In April of the following year Mary Brant (sister of Freemason Joseph Brant and common-law wife of Freemason Indian agent Sir William Johnson) successfully prescribed a favourite Indian remedy, the root of sweet flag (acorus calamus), for Governor Simcoe, who had been extremely ill with a persistent cough. The medicine relieved his malady “in a very short time. This brought the Brant family and Simcoe family close together. Davenport Phelps became the Worshipful Master of The Barton Lodge under Freemason William Jarvis and he was the first chaplain at the Mohawk Chapel. Davenport was the leader of many Indian agents who were members of The Barton Lodge. I suspect Davenport's mission was to help with the so-called Indian problem.
Chief Joseph Brant has been accused on many occasions of selling off land for his own enrichment and in a lot of cases he sold land to Freemasons. He granted 999-year leases to many families, the Nelles, the Young’s, the families of Adam Young UE, his three sons, Lieutenant John Young (Indian department) UE, Sergeant Daniel Young UE, and Private Henry Young UE, along with Captain Henry William Nelles UE and his families (Rev. Abraham Nelles). Many of these Indian agents were members of The Barton Lodge. Both Captain Henry William Nelles UE and Adam Young UE, fourth great-grandfather of Robert Collins McBride UE, were also the first Freemasons to settle in Haldimand County. Freemasons Robert Kerr and Rev. Robert Addison, William Kennedy Smith, also had land there. "There were very few outright legal sales of our land; 90 per cent of the leased land has never been paid for or paid to Six Nations," according to a research document prepared by Six Nations. Many Freemasons were involved with the Simcoe patent and the Haldimand Proclamation. Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe stated that the Indians could not lease their land since British subjects could lease land only from British subjects. Freemason William Jarvis signed the Haldimand proclamation, Freemason Thomas Ridout surveyor-general was behind the Ridout survey, Freemason Sir Peregrine Maitland lieutenant governor informed them that they had no title to the northern part of the grant, Freemason John Butler acted as an agent of purchase on behalf of the government, Freemason chief John Brant) and Freemason Robert Johnson Kerr finally went to England to lobby on behalf of the Six Nations.
Freemasons King George IV, and King William IV, reigned from January 29 1820 to June 20 1837. The idea of residential school was brought forward by the Freemason Governor of Upper Canada, Sir Peregrine Maitland, within the context of a proposal he made in 1820 to the Colonial Office "for ameliorating the condition of the Indians in the neighbourhood of our settlements." Maitland's proposal contained most of the civilising concepts and techniques that would be adopted in the next three decades. The American Freemason, President Andrew Jackson succeeded in pushing the Indian Removal Act through the United States Congress in 1828 leading to the trail of tears. John Brant solicited help from the New England company to build the Mohawk institute, the first residential school in Canada. The mohawk institute operated from 1831 to June 27, 1970. John Brant appointed Rev. Abraham Nelles son of Freemason Robert Nelles as principal of the Mohawk Institute. Abraham after over 30 years was succeeded by Freemason Robert Ashton. Oronhyatekha aka Peter Martin was also a Freemason and played an important role in the development of the Mohawk Institute. The Arthur of the Historical sketch of the Barton Lodge, No. 6, G.R.C., A.F. and A.M., says “the name of Brother John Brant is connected with important events in the history of Canadian Masonry.” John Brant is responsible for the formation of at least 12 residential schools in Ontario, while Freemason Israel Powell the superintendent of Indian affairs in British Columbia Powell “was able to boast that the government had established seventeen Indian schools, one for each year in office.”. Powell sought to establish several boarding schools across the province and particularly pushed for creating a school in Kamloops to address communities in the province’s interior.The school opened in Kamloops in 1890 and became one of the largest residential schools operated by Indian Affairs. The Freemason Organisation is vicariously liable for all abuses in those residential schools.
In 1837 a Rebellion in Upper Canada was led by William Lyon Mackenzie, who was a fierce critic of Simcoe’s Family Compact, an elite clique of businessmen and many Freemasons. Mackenzie opposed a system of land grants that favored settlers from Britain. Many Freemasons such as William Botsford Jarvis and Sir Allen Napier Macnab who was Joint premier of the Province of Canada helped stop this rebellion. Sir Allen Macnab was succeeded by Freemason Sir John A. Macdonald as Joint Premier. This Rebellion of 1837, this triggered the 6th generation Freemason Lord Durham to write The Durham Report, he was appointed governor in chief of British North America. In his 1839 Report on the Affairs of British North America, he recommended that Upper and Lower Canada be united under a single Parliament, with responsible government. In 1863 a steamboat named the Brother Johnathan) carried smallpox from San Francisco to British Columbia killing 1/3rd of the Native population. Many Freemasons like Thomas Harris the first mayor of Victoria, Israel Wood Powell who served in the Victoria Rifle Volunteer Corps which was established to protect the colony from the indigenous population, Amor De Cosmos who was the extremely racist editor of The Daily British Colonist, and Ronald J. NcDonell clerk for magistrate Pemberton who forced The Nuu-chah-nulth to leave their camp, escorted by two gunboats. There are many many more who may have purposefully mishandled the smallpox epidemic of 1863. British freemason Edward Jenner created the life-saving smallpox vaccine but on the other hand Freemasons Jeffrey Amherst and Col Henry Bouquet have been accused of distributing smallpox contaminated blankets to their enemies.
As early as 1866 Israel W. Powell, with his colleague Amor De Cosmos, had proposed confederation with the Canadian colonies. Israel Wood Powell, Superintendent of Indian affairs also outlawed potlatching an indigenous ceremony In British Columbia. Following the Lord Durham’s report, Freemason Henry Howard Molyneux Herbert, 4th Earl of Carnarvon proposed The British North America Act, 1867 Under section 91(24) of the Constitution Act, 1867, the federal government has exclusive legislative authority for "Indians, and Lands reserved for the Indians." Of the 36 Fathers of the Canadian confederation, 11 were Freemasons. One being Freemason Sir John A. Macdonald, He was named by the United Grand Lodge of England as their Grand Representative near to the Grand Lodge of Canada. Sir John A. Macdonald took a page from American Freemason Andrew Jackson's book by removing the Indigenous people from their land. He was proud that he was able to subdue the Indigenous people with less blood shed than his American brethren. One Of Macdonald's Legacies is the Canadian Pacific Railway which displaced many tribes across Canada. Sir John A. Macdonald's campaign promise in the 1870s was that he would have a railway built that would link the country from coast to coast. Freemasons Richard Marpole, Sir Sandford Fleming, Sir George J.A. Bury And the Chinese Freemasons of Vancouver and Alberta made Macdonald’s promise come true. As quickly as the railroad was laid Freemason lodges were erected. Louis Riel a Métis hero, led two resistance movements against the Government of Canada and its Freemason Prime Minister, John A. Macdonald. Riel sought to defend Métis rights and identity. The Wolseley expedition was a military force authorized by Sir John A. Macdonald to confront Louis Riel and had been dispatched to Red River under Freemason Colonel Garnet Joseph Wolseley. Another of Mcdonald's legacies is the North West Mounted Police. Macdonald established the N.W.M.P in 1873 which boasted 750 Freemason members in its time. He claimed that “it was intended to have a body of mounted rifles to protect the people from the chance of an Indian war.’’ Meanwhile, The Pacific Scandal, the first major post-Confederation political scandal in Canada, Sir John Macdonald and senior members of his Conservative Cabinet were accused of accepting election funds for the contract to build the C.P rail.
The near completion of the railway allowed troops from eastern Canada to quickly arrive in the territory causing Riel to surrender to Canadian forces. The NWMP barracks was where Louis Riel was detained after his arrest in 1885 for leading the North-West Rebellion. Many Freemasons were involved in the defeat of Louis Riel. The RCMP museum had a display of the noose which hung Riel. Macdonald said this about Riel "He shall die though every dog in Quebec barks in his favor." John A. Macdonald is also one of the fathers of the Canadian Indian act First passed in 1876. In 1879 Freemason Nicholas Flood Davin wrote the Report on Industrial Schools for Indians and Half-Breeds, otherwise known as The Davin Report. An amendment to the Indian Act in 1894 under Freemason Prime Minister Sir Mackenzie Bowell, made attendance at day schools, industrial schools, or residential schools compulsory for First Nations children, resulting in over 100000 Indigenous children being forcefully removed from their families by Indian agents and the RCMP. From 1740 to 1896 The Mexican government's response to the various uprisings of the Yaqui tribe have been likened to genocide particularly under Freemason Porfirio Diaz. Due to slavery and massacre, the population of the Yaqui tribe in Mexico was reduced from 30,000 to 7,000 under Diaz's rule. One source estimates at least 20,000 out of these Yaquis were victims of state murders in Sonora. It was during this period of the conflict that the United States Army fought the last battle of the American Indian Wars, the final battle being the Wounded Knee Massacre December 29, 1890, and in the subsequent Drexel Mission Fight the next day. In recent history the statues of Freemason John A. Macdonald, Freemason Edward Cornwallis, Freemason George Washington, Freemason Lawrence Sullivan Ross, Freemason Robert E. Lee and Andrew Jackson have all been vandalized but no mention of their affiliation to the Freemasons in the news. We can't point fingers at the church or government without first confirming whether or not the accused are Freemasons. The Order of the Eastern Star, Job's Daughters, and Rainbow Girls are masonic fraternities for women such as the daughter, widow, wife, sister, or mother of a Master Mason. All masons will cry out that Freemasonry has nothing to do with what an individual member has done, yet they all praise these men and prop them up as heroes. Freemasons claim to have superior morality compared to the average person, that they are the most honorable men on the planet, yet they refuse to acknowledge their members role in the genocide of the Indigenous Americans.
You may believe Freemasons are irrelevant nowadays but that is far from true. Winston Churchill is regarded as one of the greatest wartime leaders of the 20th century. Churchill was initiated into Studholme Lodge No. 1591 on 24 May 1901. He said of the Pashtun people “all who resist will be killed without quarter,” Pashtun territory was occupied by the British in 1848 and divided into two areas. Winston Churchill's policies caused a famine that claimed more than 3 million Indian lives during the The Bengal famine of 1943. President Harry Truman, known as one of the most dedicated men to have joined Masonry on the morning of August 6, 1945, ordered an American B-29 bomber to drop two atomic bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The two bombings killed between 129,000 and 226,000 people, most of whom were civilians. John Edgar Hoover, more commonly referred to as J. Edgar Hoover, was an American attorney and director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Hoover was raised on November 9th 1920 in Federal Lodge No. 1 in Washington D.C. In 1919 Hoover became the head of the Bureau of Investigation's (predecessor of the FBI) new General Intelligence Division. The division was also called the Radical Division because it was the task of the division to find radical elements in American society to monitor and disrupt their activities. The Duke of Kent was initiated as a Freemason in Royal Alpha Lodge No. 16 in London on 16 December 1963. The Duke of Kent, is now UGLE’s longest-serving Grand Master. The Duke’s brother, Prince Michael of Kent, is also a Freemason and is Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons, and Provincial Grand Master of the Provincial Grand Lodge of Middlesex. On 6 March 1953, HRH Prince Philip progressed to the Second Degree of Freemasonry, before advancing to the Third Degree on 4 May 1953.
I encourage those who have been affected by the actions of Freemasons to begin a class action lawsuit against this organization in what ever country, state or province you live in and hold Freemasonry accountable for genocide. The first thing a Freemason will say when presented with this evidence is you don't know how masonry operates, that the lodge is not responsible for individual members actions. That is exactly what the Catholic church said before the Canadian Court of Appeal on July 28, 2020 had found the Archdiocese vicariously liable for abuses committed by a civilian employee. I witnessed countless people stand up against the Catholic Church for what they have done and the Pope came to Canada and apologized. Now it's time to turn your sight toward Freemasonry. You must understand that all Freemasons on the American contenent have greatly benefited from the genocide of Indigenous Americans.
“ Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's acceptance of an inquiry's finding that Canada committed genocide against Indigenous people could have tremendous legal impact if a court ever weighs Ottawa's responsibility for crimes against humanity, experts say.”

“The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths, and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it.”
― President John F. Kennedy

Lithium is already one of the most sought-after resources across the globe due to nearly every technology now being wireless. And with this growth in demand expected to continue over the next decade, there’s a lot of potential to capitalize on lithium demand, especially at the current prices in the market.
And with $EMIN.C finalizing the deal with Talisman, they’re officially one of the largest landholders in Brazil’s Lithium valley in Minas Gerais alongside companies like Sigma Lithium.

• The additional 8,600 hectares brings their total land holding in the area to 34,000 hectares.
• The new property surrounds the original property where lithium sampling returned a significant amount of high-grade lithium indication.
• With all of the properties now fully acquired, it’s time for $EMIN.C to begin pursuing further exploration to deliver some results at their properties.

https://ca.finance.yahoo.com/news/spark-energy-minerals-closes-nova-140500187.html
With buyout speculations at Sigma, other companies could be interested in investing in $EMIN.C considering the land package to valuation ratio. Only a $4.5M market cap relative to their 34,000 hectares gives the company a significant amount of upside potential here, so it’ll be interesting to see if Sigma can find a buyer or start production, which would have downstream impacts on $EMIN.C as they’re both significant landholders in the area.

Back again with another stab at the synopsis! Really appreciate the feedback. I realized I was definitely missing the whole point of the synopsis before, so this is a rewritten bit. I'm not sure if the introduction part is too long? The whole thing might be too long really. Any feedback is so appreciated!

Sendero Luminoso is the name of the most lethal terrorist group in South American history. The movement began in Peru in the 1980s, and it took the lives of over 70,000 Peruvians. Sendero Luminoso wiped out communities and destroyed families and entire ways of life. If there were survivors of a Sendero Luminoso attack, they lived to tell the tale only by hiding beneath the bodies of the dead. The Peruvian military, in their misguided efforts to stop Sendero's bombings and killings, tore apart innocent families with equal lethality, arresting and "disappearing" primarily members of the oppressed indigenous community virtually indiscriminately.
Juliana Pacheco is the daughter of the last hacendado, a feudal-style lord, in the remote Andean highland area called Occenay. One of the first regions to suffer attacks from Sendero, her father was the last to escape before the whole place was burned to the ground. Sendero Luminoso set Juliana on a journey that took her through two continents and several countries before returning to the valley Occenay. Back where Sendero's war began, she finds that for her family to survive, she must heal the wound in this land. This wound has carried its infection through the generations of her family. It cursed her grandfather, her father, herself, and even her children; though they are far away in prestigious American universities, they are still not free.
The Daughter of the Last Hacendado weaves together history, culture, and biography to tell a moving and intimate story of a family along with a sweeping narrative of country and culture. Complete at 86,000 words; this narrative non-fiction features a dynamic, multigenerational cast of characters that blends the genres of travelogue, memoir, and biography.
The first third of the book takes place in present-day Peru. Juliana Pacheco has brought me to Peru to meet the people and see the places that formed her. Through the depiction of our friendship and travel together, we meet Juliana Pacheco. We learn she is a strong woman, an American immigrant, and a politically conservative Latina with a strong sense of pride and dignity. This strong character has kept her safe and served her well throughout her life, but this strength can also manifest itself as rigid and judgmental thinking toward groups of people.
The trip takes us first to Lima, the urban capital of Peru, then to Ayacucho, the mountain region that saw the birth of Sendero Luminoso and where Occenay, the remains of her family’s hacienda, lie. As the American narrator, I provide a relatable, self-deprecating tone along the lines of An Idiot Abroad as we experience Peruvian culture and history on a large scale. Finally, we arrive in Occenay, and the global becomes personal as we step into the destroyed remains of Juliana’s childhood home. The stone hacienda is still imposing, even in its ruins. Its skeleton and the scorched earth around it are a strong testament to the depth of hatred in this valley that existed at least once towards Juliana and her family.
The second part of the book becomes the story of Occenay, told through the perspectives of the humans who lived and worked there, beginning with Juliana’s grandfather and grandmother. The narrative introduces the complex family dynamics between the elder Pachecos and their children, three daughters and a son, Juliana’s father, Pepe, and the intense cultural dynamics between the hacendado and the andinos that farmed the land. Pepe and his parents lived through several seismic shifts in their government, from the outlawing of the feudal-style system that had been sustaining the family, several military coups, and finally, the attack by Sendero Luminoso that ultimately drove the family from the hacienda. The history uses historical documents, letters, pictures, and personal stories from interviews with Juliana, her living family members, and the members of Occenay’s community, including a 95-year-old woman who worked for Juliana’s grandmother and lost one of her own sons in Sendero’s attack.
In the last part of the book, we follow Juliana’s personal story and witness her journey from that of wounded hacendado’s daughter, angry at Sendero Luminoso, dismissive of the struggles of others, and into a woman who has spent the last ten years of her life serving other people, from her career in America which she dedicates to helping minority and at-risk students, to the very soul of Occenay itself. The book ends with Juliana and her husband sitting at a table with the descendants of the andinos who once served her grandfather for no wage. Occenay no longer belongs only to the Pachecos. Every man at the table owns a piece of it now. Occenay is no longer a hacienda, but a cooperativa.
Similar to how Sarah Vowell, in her books "The Assassination Vacation" and "Unfamiliar Fishes," takes the reader through her journey, using her own experiences to immerse them in the culture of the places that she is visiting, this book brings the reader along on this trip through Peru, combining culture and history with travel. Fans of Bill Bryson's style of weaving together incisive observation and personal anecdote with a dry wit will enjoy the humorous, self-deprecating tone and analysis of culture, both that of America and Peru. Richly researched and buttressed with the words and experiences of a diversity of Peruvians, fans of South American political and cultural history will read about and rediscover familiar characters, such as the notorious disgraced Peruvian president Alberto Fujimori and Abimael Guzman, leader of the terrorist group known as the Shining Path.
My intimate and personal connection to the Pacheco family sets this book apart from those like Sarah Vowell’s, Bill Bryson's, or any historical non-fiction about South America. The genuine friendship and shared history between myself and Juliana will bring readers into a real relationship of mutual love and respect despite, or perhaps because of, our differences in culture, background, and politics. This mix of the personal with the historical creates a unique structure with the tone and readability of a memoir combined with the objectivity and sprawl of a biography.

I'm planning to head to Leh for 7-10 days in June as part of a broader India trip. I'm currently in the beginning stages of planning this leg but was hoping to source some ideas as I explore my options.
When traveling I like hiking, nature, temples, and food and am excited for the Himalayan landscapes. Normally I'd be interested in some more involved trekking but I may unfortunately have to work remotely for part of my time there, so I'll generally have to keep it to day trips or shorter excursions.
So far my ideas for what to do/see (feel free to comment on these):

• A couple days at the beginning to acclimatize, tour Leh - markets, stupa, palace, etc
• Nubra Valley and Pangong Lake seem to be the most popular excursions, wondering if I can do each of these as a day trip, or perhaps a 2-day trip. I understand these will require acquiring a permit in Leh beforehand, from what I hear this sounds fairly simple.
• Nearby monasteries like Thiksey, Hemis
• Indus/Zanskar Sangam

So a couple questions:
• Any other ideas for a 2-day or weekend trip from Leh? Interested in both road trip options as well as more hiking-forward options
• Good hikes nearby, ideally doable in a day? (But open to 2-3 day hikes as well)
• It seems popular to ride around on motorbikes. I've never driven one, and have never driven in India, so how safe would this be? I'm not currently planning on doing this but if it's something that's easy to pick up I might be interested.
• Would it be worth it to take a brief trip to Srinagar? I have the classic romanticized image in my head of the lake with the houseboats and the morning mist, wondering if it's actually worth it to go out of my way and check out since I don't know when I'll be able to go to Kashmir in the future.
• Also, fave affordable souvenirs from Ladakh? Would love to get a wool item or something decorative.

You know when you're doing something you really enjoy and you realize you don't have anyone to share that with? No one you can message and be like "yo, look at this shit I'm working on"? Well, that's been me during most of my life. Today I decided I want to stop being such a lonely person and start sharing my essence, my interests, my problems and my feelings with others. So, watch out, world, here I am!
I love watching TV shows, movies and anime. Last series I watched was the HBO's The Last Of Us series, loved every damned second of it and I can't wait for the second season! Although right now I'm out of stuff to watch... oh well, I guess it's time for a rewatch...
Also love reading, both manga and books. My favorite book authors would have to be Stephen King and Neil Gaiman, although the Harry Potter saga had a special place in my heart when I was a child. It was the reason I started writing, honestly.
Besides writing, I also like to try and draw but I'm terrible at it lmao. I'll get better at it one day, I promise.
I used to love playing games, too. My favorites probably were Fallout 1, 2 and New Vegas, Stardew Valley, The Last of Us 1 and 2, Valorant, COD, CSGO, The Binding of Isaac, Terraria and Minecraft. Nowadays I don't have that much time to play a lot, but I do enjoy some Dead By Daylight on mobile matches. I suck at it tho lol.
I like to have conversations about politics, history, culture, the space, the ocean, but I also love listening to other people's thoughts or interests so be sure to tell me about the stuff you like to do if you message me.
I adore animals, especially cats, fish and snakes. I actually have a cat myself and I'll gladly send you pictures of him or tell you about him if you want!
I have BPD. It isn't an issue most days, but I wanted to inform it in case mental health problems are a dealbreaker to anyone.
Spanish is my native language but, as you can see, I can speak English quite easily as well. I know a bit of Italian, too, but I wouldn't recommend talking to me in that language as I'm still learning!
I'm willing to make friends with anyone, really; I don't care about gender, age or whatever (I'm bi, tho, so lgbt people will be welcomed with open arms!). Also, I can't believe I have to say this but please don't be a creep!
Anyways, feel free to message me if you're interested in making friends with this idiot! Have a great day and thanks for reading <3

I spent hours last night on here looking at all of your valleys. They are perfect!! I had to stop though cause it was making me feel like mine was the lower class valley 😂 I’m working on making it perfect! Keep posting!! Love to see all the ideas. 🥰😍

The Federal Reserve’s two main aims are to promote stable prices and full employment. At least, those are the goals that are typically most discussed.
At times of financial system stress – like now – one of the central bank’s other jobs comes into focus: “Maintaining the stability of the financial system and containing systemic risk that may arise in financial markets.”
With the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, the forced marriage of UBS and Credit Suisse, and persistent questions around the viability of First Republic Bank, the Fed is once again confronted with the need to ensure financial system stability.
Last week, the European Central Bank had a similar conundrum: should it stand pat on rates in light of Credit Suisse’s distress, and risk higher inflation? Or should it raise rates, and risk the Swiss bank’s troubles spilling over into the broader financial system?
​
It chose the latter. A lot of economists think the Fed will do the same when it meets on Wednesday.
‌
“Bottom line is we still have an inflation problem, and the Fed needs to continue to raise rates,” Paul Gruenwald, chief economist at S&P Global Ratings, told Yahoo Finance. “So, they’ve obviously got one eye on the financial sector, but we still think they’re going to go 25 basis points later this week. But the language should be sort of softer and slower.”
‌
Market participants are coalescing around that view, with the CME Fed Watch Tool showing a 71% probability that the Fed will indeed raise rates by a quarter percentage point as of 2pm yesterday, and a 29% chance of no change. (By way of comparison, a month ago there was zero probability of a pause, an 82% chance of a quarter-point hike, and an 18% likelihood that the Fed would raise by a half-point).
‌
Indeed, if the Fed did defy those predictions and pause its rate-hiking cycle, that could trigger more panic.
‌
If the Fed doesn’t raise rates, “that sends a bigger signal, then I would start to get more anxious,” said Michael Arone, Chief Investment Strategist, US SPDR Business at State Street Global Advisors, in an interview with Yahoo Finance. He’s expecting a quarter-point raise.
Beyond this week’s meeting, the outlook for rates gets more murky. After all, as TKer.co’s Sam Ro writes, in some ways what has happened recently with banks has actually helped the Fed, by potentially slowing economic growth and therefore inflation.
The danger there, of course, is the Fed continuing to hike in the face of that slowdown and heading into the proverbial hard landing. Concern over that outcome has ratcheted up to the point that the market has started to price in a small cut to rates by the June meeting.
Expect all of these predictions to be scrambled after the rate decision and Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference on Wednesday.

Hi all!
I am in England (London).
We completed the purchase of our property mid-August, and had a buildings survey done mid-May last year. We've had some minor leaks in our roof, that we haven't taken as seriously as we maybe should have. We've recently had various roofers come to our place, all suggesting different remediations to our roof issues, for a wide range of quotes. (up to £15k).
Most roofers were able to identify similar issues at a glance, before even getting access to the roof. The fascias boards display a level of rot which retrospectively is obvious to our nonexpert eyes. Roofers were also able to spot issues with the flashing of the valleys. The surveyor's report also mistakes clay tiles for concrete tiles but it's not clear that the issue with our roof is related to the type of our tiles...
I've been wondering whether we should sue the surveyor for negligence.
I think we should have another surveyor survey the roof but does it makes sense to do a roof survey since that would require access to the roof etc. which wasn't part of our buildings survey. I am not quite sure either as to what we can reasonably expect a surveyor to notice as compared to say, a specialized tradespeson. Should we ask a surveyor to do a quick survey of the roof without actually accessing the roof? Should we give him hints of the roof issues and that we intent to sue the previous surveyor, will they help each other? Is it even worth trying suing the surveyor? The survey was done now 10 months ago, what if the surveyor argues that the issues are new., etc.
Sorry I'm a bit lost and confused - can anyone offer some legal advice?

So with all the hype going around with Brady’s hot streak, I decided to take a closer look at the record for most goals by a D-man in a single season.
For franchise history, everyone knows it’s Mark Howe, with a record 24 goals in Hartford’s first season in the NHL in 79-80, and 42 goals if you include the previous year in the WHA.
For just the Carolina Hurricanes, the stats I was looking at only went down to 20 goals, so if you only count the time in Raleigh, I’m pretty sure it’s Dougie Hamilton in 18-19 with 18, breaking Justin Faulk’s 17 a couple years earlier.
You might be asking yourself, u/WafflesTheWookiee, this is all standard information, we all know this, why are you posting this?
Two reasons. First, I put like 20 minutes into looking this up, and wanted something to show for it.
Second, and more importantly, I came across a second Whalers D-man who scored 20 goals in 91-92 who should be mentioned: Zarley Zalapski. What a name. Passed away 5 years ago, RIP to the legend Zarley

Hey I am looking at getting some more games on steam, I'm in a bit of a gaming rut where I have a few games I always turn to but nothing is keeping me distracted for long.
I love Stardew Valley, Disney Dreamlight Valley, Dinkum and Coral island but I know steam have a massive sale at the moment and tomorrow is payday so I will be grabbing a game or two.
Any suggestions on what I should try?
