Below is a copy of the statement released by the Labour Party leader Deputy Pat Rabbitte
HEART OF MATTER IS : ‘WAS AHERN RIGHT TO ACCEPT MONIES?’
It is fair comment that the Opposition has shown restraint in the matter of the Taoiseach accepting money for private use while a serving Minister. However, since Mr Ahern had created a context that sought to explain the Drumcondra monies in terms of his private family affairs, common decency required that opposition politicians should have demonstrated a certain restraint.
And then on Sunday I heard Minister of State, Conor Lenihan, ridicule that restraint. It was, he said, ineffectiveness, not decency, on the part of the Opposition. The suggestion was apparently that the Opposition should cut through the smokescreen to the heart of the matter. To me the heart of the matter is: was Mr Ahern right to do what he did? Is it remotely credible that monies outstanding for 13 years, without any repayment of any kind, can suddenly be called loans? You don’t need to be as bright as Minister Lenihan to know that these transactions, if they happened, were gifts and therefore there are tax implications.
Can we do more than highlight the absolute impropriety of a serving Minister for Finance accepting payment for a nixer outside the State. Never mind the “no law was broken” defence. By any standards it was wrong. What would have happened to a Senior Civil Servant in the Department of Finance if he trousered money for a private encounter in Manchester? He would be sacked. Why is it alright for the Minister but not alright for the civil servant? What does it say about this Government’s standards that not a single Cabinet Minister can bring himself or herself to say what everybody knows: that what happened at Manchester was wrong. You believe in the tooth fairy if you believe that businessmen happen along to a function in a posh hotel to listen to any old Joe Soap talk to them about the Irish economy and then organise an impromptu collection to give him something for himself.
In normal life you get gifts from your friends and you take loans from strangers. Yet Mr Ahern got loans from his friends and gifts from strangers.
Maybe Minister of State Lenihan’s derision of the Opposition is because we didn’t adequately probe behind the discreet veil drawn over the other 50,000 by Mr Ahern when he says enigmatically that he “put back into” his account. “Back into his account from where”? is the questions that must be answered. Where was the 50.000 resting since Mr Ahern didn’t have a bank account? In a sock in the hotpress? If the Taoiseach says this 50.000 was savings I accept that but if he enjoyed a T.D’s salary, a Ministerial salary and the use of a premises bought by friends of Fianna Fail, how can it be portrayed that he was in straitened circumstances?
Why if there were 50.000 in “savings” was it necessary to raise a Bank loan and if a Bank Loan was in place why was it necessary to have a whiparound to replace the Bank Loan ?
An effective Opposition doing its job must ask the Taoiseach: have you evaded tax? Why did you say you paid CGT and gift tax? Why is that relevant here? Are you serious that you had no Bank account while Minister for Finance? Did you have a Bank Account elsewhere on the Island? Or outside the jurisdiction? Or did someone else open one on your behalf? If the whiparound was among friends why is there a cheque in there for 5,000 from NCB stockbrokers? How many times have NCB been retained by the State? How many of the donors were appointed on how many occasions to state boards? Who were the donors in Manchester? What was the function? Are they involved in business in Ireland? Did any of them win state contracts? Is this another loop in the golden circle?
Our new Tanaiste is also impatient with the Opposition. On Thursday he told the House he could scarcely forbear to sit in silence and watch the Opposition squander the opportunity for accountability. Well the Tanaiste had better grow accustomed to sitting in silence. The only question he will be allowed at Cabinet after this debacle is “Bhuil cead agam dul amach?” Mr McDowell sought and got a mandate to ride shotgun on Fianna Fail standards in government. He has comprehensively failed the first test. As he said himself:
“A party that stands for nothing will stand for anything.”
If the Tanaiste can no longer ask questions aloud maybe he would ask himself what Des O’Malley would have said if the Taoiseach of the day admitted receiving money, not for political purposes, but for his private use while a serving Minister?
Forget the orchestrated phone-ins to radio stations, the unscientific polls and the packed television audiences, was it right or wrong to accept money for private use while a serving Minister? You are on the record as saying you did nothing wrong and your Cabinet Ministers without exception have parroted that line. Brian Lenihan alone said it would be unthinkable.
But all the rest Hannafin, O’Donoghue, O’Dea, Dempsey, Ahern, Coughlan, Martin and Cullen can see no wrong. If anything demonstrates why this country needs a change of government it is the media parade of your Ministers, blind to standards, defending the indefensible.

We used to play 20 questions in the car when I was a kid, in those long ago olden days before cars came with TVs in the headrests...the second question was always 'Is it bigger than a bread box'? I'm not sure we even knew what a bread box was, 'cause I don't think we had one... but that phrase keeps popping into my mind nowadays... it's about women and girls and body image, and the struggles we go through... Why can't I stop stressing about my body, and is it too big, or too flabby, or I'm putting the wrong foods in, or I'm not exercising enough, or SHE must be a happy person 'cause she's so damn skinny, and really, truly, who gives a BLEEP if I'm bigger than a bread box!
So this is made in defiance, to be stuck on the fridge when I'm eating well, and when I'm not eating well, and with shoulders squared back, and chin in air I say, "I AM bigger than a bread box!"

The Internal Market and the Industry committees questioned Thierry Breton, candidate for the Internal Market portfolio.
The presidents and political groups’ coordinators from both committees will meet at 17.00 to assess the performance of the Commissioner-designate.
Digital, environmental and social challenges
In his introductory speech, Mr Breton spoke of the digital, environmental and social challenges the EU is facing and how he plans to address them during his mandate. The digital transformation and climate change will be high on his agenda, in line with President-elect Ursula von der Leyen’s priorities.
Mr Breton said that 5G, blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, cybersecurity, cloud and quantum technologies would enable the EU to be a “key industrial player”. He defended “ambitious industrial policies”, which should also be socially responsible, in order “not to leave anyone behind”.

I was talking to Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring earlier today. I told him, “Gee, it’d be great to have something to eat with all of this delicious Shiner Bock besides kolaches.” Aggie Ring thought about my comment for a moment or so and replied, “You’re in luck. You asked the question to the right Aggie Ring. I know exactly what we need to eat with all of that delicious Shiner Bock.”
Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring then had me drive him up to the Mexican grocery store in the River City of Red Bank and select a little over 6 pounds of lean Bistec de Cañada that had just been freshly sliced. It reminded me of fajita meat, but it is actually a thinly cut top round. I took it to the checkout counter and Aggie Ring made me pay for it. I’ve tried to get Aggie Ring to pay for some things in the past but he gets irritated at me and says, “You want me to pay? Do you think I’m made of gold or something?”
Once Aggie Ring and I got home, we cut the fresh beef (which has a totally different smell than beef that’s been in the cold case for a couple of days) into sensible 2” by 3” pieces. While I was cutting up the beef, Aggie Ring was at the stove making his special “Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring Marinade.” While Aggie Ring has several varieties of marinade he likes, he decided to go with something traditional this time because Jersey Shore Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring is all about tradition. Aggie Ring said, “Perhaps next time we might make the “Angry Waggie” cayenne pepper based marinade.”
After bringing the marinade to a boil to dissolve the brown sugar, honey, etc. Aggie Ring added lots of garlic sauce, Worcestershire sauce, all kinds of dried peppers and a little bit of Aggie Ring “this and that.” Aggie Ring used a “secret” ingredient as one of the liquids in this batch. Aggie Ring says, “If someone can’t figure out what it was from these photos, then they’re a dumbass.” One of the things that Aggie Ring has learned about making jerky over the last couple of decades is that if the marinade doesn’t taste good when you sample it with a spoon, then the jerky (whether it’s beef, pork, chicken, or salmon) won’t taste all that great. Aggie Ring tested his marinade several times as he was adding various things to it until it had the “Aggie Ring Seal of Approval.”
After the marinade had cooled, Aggie Ring put the sliced and cut Bistec de Cañada into a two gallon ziplock bag and poured the marinade into the bag with the beef. Aggie Ring had me put it into the bottom of the refrigerator and reminded me to massage and flip the bag around from time to time so all of the meat makes contact with the marinade. “Not a problem.” I told Aggie Ring, “I can just do that each time I go downstairs for another delicious Shiner Bock.”
“Well,” said Aggie Ring. “I guess this Fightin’ Texas Aggie Ring has saved the day yet again. This Aggie Ring truly is “King of Rings.””
Note: I did the math. The six pounds of beef cost $35.00. There was no fat to cut off— so after jerking, I should have slightly less than three pounds of jerky. We probably used about $5.00 of supplies for the marinade. The last time Aggie Ring looked at the prices of jerky at the store (not that we’d ever eat any store-bough jerky), it was anywhere from between $8 to $12 dollars for a few ounces of the high-end jerky.

After finding another McDonald's balloon that originates from a McDonald's restaurant in the UK on the beach of Vlieland, the Netherlands, and after again no reply to my questions, I did some research on the website of McDonald's on this subject.
I found two statements on the McDonald's UK website, one you can find here.
Below you will find the question to, and the answer by McDonald's.
The argument of McDonald's are thin.
I made a close read of the answers of McDonald's, and reacted on the answers of McDonald's, which you will find in bold.
I dare McDonald's to respond to my close reading of the arguments of McDonald's .
Question;
I found one of your balloons on the beach and wanted to know what your policy is on this?
Answer;
As a business we not only take pride in the local communities in which we operate, but we also recognize our wider responsibility to help protect and preserve the environment.
You have to do more than recognize, in case of the balloons, you have to act.
The issue of discarded balloons is one we are conscious of and we have taken steps to address it in recent years.
What steps have you taken, why did you not take the most important step, stop handing out helium filled balloons.
At McDonald’s, we appreciate that clean coastal resorts are vitally important from an environmental, marine wildlife protection and tourism perspective.
Again, you have to do more than appreciate, you have to act. The problem with the balloons can be easily solved, stop handing out helium filled balloons.
This is why we work closely with the franchisees and operators of our coastal stores to ensure they only hand out balloons on sticks, to prevent the immediate impact they can have on the local environment if discarded.
You assume the balloons we find on the beaches of the Netherlands only come from your coastal stores. This is a false assumption, we find other than McDonald’s balloons our coast, and they come from other regions in the UK than just the coastal. This one came from Cockermouth.
You work closely with the franchisees and operators, as if they have anything to say on such important matter. If the management of McDonald’s issues the order to stop using helium filled balloons, the franchisees have to stop handing them out.
We also worked with our suppliers a number of years ago to ensure that all our balloons are made from bio-degradable material.
Natural latex may be biodegradable, but after adding chemicals, plasticizers and artificial dyes, how natural could it be? In fact to make latex suitable for balloon production, curing agents, accelerators, oil, colour and water must be added. It may degrade after several years, but it’s surely not “biodegradable. ”And then there is the plastic plug in the opening of the balloon and the ribbon. Balloons or balloon fragments are eaten by Fulmar’s , balloon ribbons give the risk of entanglement, as pictured here and here.
As well as the measures we have control over as a business, we also have a role to play in working with our customers to encourage the responsible disposal of our products and packaging.
There is a difference between packaging and balloons, if you let go of the packaging, it will fall to the ground, if you let go of a helium filled balloon it will go up in the air. Packaging can still be picked up, a balloon not. I would not be surprised that a lot of balloons go up in the air by accident, they are handed out to kids.
That is why we display an anti-litter message on our balloons as well as our packaging.
See previous remark.
There is of course always more that can be done, however, and together with our stores in coastal locations, we are currently embarking on an assessment to see how the changes made in recent years are working.
There is only one thing to be done, stop handing out helium filled balloons, in all UK based McDonald’s restaurants.
You are currently embarking on an assessment, this notation is of April 2015, we are two years further. You must have had dozens of requests and complaints about your balloons. You must have read the alarming bulletins of the plastic sea. Still you think the promotional power of handing out the helium filled balloons is more important than all the negative aspects of these balloons.
I am sure you will decide at some point in the future to stop handing out helium filled balloons. Why wait, why not now
Thanks for getting in touch.
I get in touch frequently, but don’t get a response.
On another part of the McDonald's UK website I found a question and answer about the balloons, this can be found here.
Below a close read of this statement, bold is my response to the statement of McDonald's UK.
Question;
Do you think it's time McDonald's stopped giving out Balloons?
Do you not consider that it's time McDonalds stopped giving away balloons? There is so much evidence of the damage caused to marine wildlife from balloons and strings. Guernsey doesn't have a McDonalds Restaurant but yesterday one of your balloons advertising The Croods - still inflated, string attached - was picked up during the MCS Big Beach Clean in the Channel Islands organised by the States of Guernsey Environment Department.
Answer;
We are aware of the potential harm that balloons may cause in coastal areas to marine wildlife, as well as the additional litter generated when they are irresponsibly discarded or released.
Balloons do not only cause harm in coastal areas, they do harm to seas and ocean. Apparently you don’t know how far a helium balloon will travel, once up in the air.
You are aware, but you don’t take action to prevent the littering and creation of harmful situations to marine wildlife. Why is this? You give the answer further below.
We have worked with our suppliers to ensure that all balloons are made from bio-degradable material, in order to limit the longer term damage, but unfortunately, this does not prevent the immediate impacts that balloons have on the local environment, and especially beaches.
It is not just the balloon, it is also the ribbon and plastic plug in the opening of the balloon.
The biodegradability is at discussion. Natural latex may be biodegradable, but after adding chemicals, plasticizers and artificial dyes, how natural could it be? In fact to make latex suitable for balloon production, curing agents, accelerators, oil, colour and water must be added. It may degrade after several years, but it’s surely not “biodegradable.
Balloons are valued by families as part of the overall customer experience. Franchisees are therefore reluctant for balloons to be removed from coastal restaurants completely.
With this you finally answer the question why; Balloons are valued by families as part of the overall customer experience. If you have to choose between harm to marine wildlife or your customer experience, you pick the latter.
On your website I find the following statement;
Everyday all around the globe, McDonald's is putting people, processes and practices into place to make better food, more sustainable sourcing, happier people, a stronger community and a healthier planet.
With handing out helium filled balloons McDonald’s is not sustainable, making everybody happy and certainly not make this planet healthier.
However, as it is the discarding of the balloons that causes the issue, we believe that by replacing helium balloons in coastal restaurants with stick balloons will help our customers have greater control over their disposal, and minimise the unplanned environmental consequences of a travelling helium balloon.
As said before, McDonald’s has to replace helium filled balloons at all the restaurants. Helium filled balloons travel great distances, this problem is not solved by just stopping to hand them out in your coastal restaurants.
We are currently going through the process of making that switch, and also increasing the anti-litter messaging printed on the balloons.
Currently, May 2013, is four years ago. Nothing has changed, we still find McDonald’s balloons on our beach. Putting an anti-littering message on your balloons is laughable; when a helium filled balloon is released, it goes up into the air, it can’t be picked up and discarded in a responsible way.

It all started with an innocent question from Greg via AIM. He asked me if I knew where he could find a Where's Waldo hat. I tried a few queries in Google and Froogle, but the best I could do was pull up a couple of knitting patterns, and pictures of other people with Waldo hats. He wasn't about to knit one and neither was I, but I offered to sew one up for him out of fleece since it's a rare occasion that I get to connect with an old friend from the East Coast.
I ended up making 4 Waldo hats before I perfected the pattern and got the sizing right. I showed my creations to my brother and he casually mentioned, "You know, it would be funny if there was a flash mob where a lot of people showed up dressed like Waldo. It would be like the puzzle where there were thousands of Waldos and you had to find the real Waldo."
I thought it was a brilliant idea, so I decided to make it come true.
Behold:
Participate in the re-creation of the most difficult Waldo puzzle ever! Come out to the square across from the San Francisco Ferry Building on Saturday November 11th at noon in a red and white striped shirt and blue pants. This event will occur rain or shine. If it rains, we will congregate inside the Ferry Building.
For event details and costuming resources, visit the Mob of Waldos web site.
If you think this is a cool idea, please help to spread the word! The bigger the turnout, the more fun it will be!

18 February 2013. I came across a video of a talk by Mark Pack "10 Questions to see if your council gets digital". I emailed Mark who gave me his permission to post a screengrab on Flickr..
Click this link to YouTube. I suggest viewing fullscreen so you can read his slides.
I've made my own attempts - mostly unsuccessful - to persuade head honchos at Haringey Council to rethink their outdated and defensive views; and try to 'get' social media. This is Illustrated in my series of photos and comments called: "Shut your eyes & the 21st Century will go away"
Mark's very practical, nicely presented eight minute talk suggests questions for councillors and others to raise with their own local council. Watching the video, it's all so obvious, sensible and uncontentious.
But Haringey is failing on at least six out of ten of Mark''s questions. And plainly there are many other backward-looking command-and-control organisations whose bosses are still clutching onto the past.

An important thing to remember is that even though pixel sizes keep getting smaller and smaller, the technology is advancing, so the smaller pixels are more efficient at collecting light. For instance, the Sony A7rII is back-illuminated which allows more photons to hit the sensor. Semiconductor technology is always advancing, so the brilliant engineers are always improving the signal/noise ratio. Far higher pixel counts, as well as better dynamic ranger, are thus not only possible, but the future!

View your artistic mission into photography as an epic odyssey of heroic poetry! Take it from Homer in Homer's Odyssey: "Tell me, O muse, of that ingenious hero who travelled far and wide after he had sacked the famous town of Troy. Many cities did he visit, and many were the nations with whose manners and customs he was acquainted; moreover he suffered much by sea while trying to save his own life and bring his men safely home; but do what he might he could not save his men, for they perished through their own sheer folly in eating the cattle of the Sun-god Hyperion; so the god prevented them from ever reaching home. Tell me, too, about all these things, O daughter of Jove, from whatsoever source you may know them. " --Samuel Butler Translation of Homer's Odyssey

A full interview with the Israeli painter Raphael Perez (in Hebrew Rafi Peretz) about the ideas behind the naive painting, resume, personal biography and CV
Question: Raphael Perez Tell us about your work process as a naive painter?
Answer: I choose the most iconic and famous buildings in every city and town that are architecturally interesting and have a special shape and place the iconic buildings on boulevards full of trees, bushes, vegetation, flowers.
Question: How do you give depth in your naive paintings?
Answer: To give depth to the painting, I build the painting with layers of vegetation, after those low famous buildings, followed by a tall avenue of trees, and behind them towers and skyscrapers, in the sky I sometimes put innocent signs of balloons, kites.
A recurring motif in some of my paintings is the figure of the painter who is in the center of the boulevard and paints the entire scene unfolding in front of him, also there are two kindergarten teachers who are walking with the kindergarten children with the state flags that I paint, and loving couples hugging and kissing and family paintings of mother, father and child walking in harmony on the boulevard.
Question: Raphael Perez What characterizes your naive painting?
Answer: Most naive paintings have the same characteristics
(Definition as it appears in Wikipedia)
• Tells a simple story to absorb from everyday life, usually with humans.
• The representation of the painter's idealization to reality - the mapping of reality.
• Failure to maintain perspective - especially details even in distant details.
• Extensive use of repeating patterns - many details.
• Warm and bright colors.
• Sometimes the emphasis is on outlines.
• Most of the characters are flat, lack volume
• No interest in texture, expression, correct proportions
• No interest in anatomy.
• There is not much use of light and shadow, the colors create a three-dimensional effect.
I find these definitions to be valid for all my naive paintings
Question: Raphael Perez Why do you mainly choose the city of Tel Aviv?
Answer: I was born in Jerusalem, the capital city which I love very much and also paint,
I love the special Bauhaus buildings in Tel Aviv, the ornamental buildings that were built a century ago in the 1920s and 1930s, the beautiful boulevards, towers and modern skyscrapers give you the feeling of the hustle and bustle of a large metropolis and there are quite a few low and tall buildings that are architecturally fascinating in their form the special one
Also, the move to Tel Aviv, which is the capital of culture, freedom, and secularism, allowed me to live my life as I chose, to live in a relationship with a man, Jerusalem, which is a traditional city, it is more complicated to live a homosexual life, also, the art world takes place mainly in the city of Tel Aviv, and it is possible that from a professional point of view, this allows I can support myself better in Tel Aviv than in any other city in Israel.
Question: raphael perez are the paintings of the city of Tel Aviv different from the paintings of the city of Jerusalem
Answer: Most of the paintings of Jerusalem have an emphasis on the color yellow, gold, the color of the old city walls, the subjects I painted in Jerusalem are mainly a type of idealization of a peaceful life between Jews and Arabs and paintings that deal with the Jewish religious world, a number of paintings depict all shades of the currents of Judaism of today
In contrast, the Tel Aviv paintings are more colorful, with skyscrapers, the sea, balloons and more secular motifs
Question: Raphael Perez Tell us about which buildings and their architects you usually choose in your city paintings
Answer: My favorite buildings are those that have a special shape that anyone can recognize and are the symbols of the city and you will give several examples:
In the city of Tel Aviv, my favorite buildings are: the opera building with its unusual geometric shape, the Yisrotel tower with its special head, the Hail Bo Shalom tower that for years was the symbol of the tallest building in Tel Aviv, the Levin house that looks like a Japanese pagoda, the burgundy-colored Nordeau hotel with the special dome at the end of the building, A pair of Alon towers with the special structure of the sea, Bauhaus buildings typical of Tel Aviv with the special balconies and the special staircase, the Yaakov Agam fountain in Dizengoff square appears in a large part of the paintings, many towers that are in the stock exchange complex, the Aviv towers and other tall buildings on Ayalon, in some of the paintings I took plans An outline of future buildings that need to be built in the city and I drew them even before they were built in reality,
In the paintings of Jerusalem, I mainly chose the area of the Old City and East Jerusalem, a painting of the walls of the Old City, the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the El Akchea Mosque, the Tower of David, most of the famous churches in the city, the right hand of Moses, in most of the paintings the Jew is wearing a blue shirt with a red male cord I was in the youth movement and the Arab with a galabia, and in the paintings of the religious public then, Jews with black suits and white shirts, tallitas, kippahs, special hats, synagogues and more
I also created three paintings of the city of Haifa and one painting of Safed
In the Haifa paintings I drew the university, the Technion, the famous Egged Tower, the Sail Tower, well-known hotels, of course the Baha'i Gardens and the Baha'i Temple, Haifa Port and the boats and other famous buildings in the city
Question: Have you created series of other cities from around the world?
Answer: I created series of New York City with all the iconic and famous buildings such as: the Guggenheim Museum, the famous skyscrapers - the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, Lincoln Center, the famous synagogue in the city, the Statue of Liberty, the flags of the United States and other famous buildings
Two paintings of London and all its famous sites, Big Ben, famous monuments, the Ferris wheel, Queen Elizabeth and her family, the double bus, the famous public telephone, palaces, famous churches, well-known monuments
I created 4 naive paintings of cities in China, a painting of Shanghai, two paintings of the city of Suzhou and a painting of the World Park in the city of Beijing...

HKFP: Thousands gathered at Edinburgh Place on Wednesday evening calling on G20 countries to raise concerns about Hong Kong at the leaders’ summit on Friday, hours after staging a mass march to foreign consulates to lobby country representatives directly.
Crowds wearing all-black spilt out of the public square, many holding signs that read “Free Hong Kong” and “Democracy Now.”
Organisers, the Civil Human Rights Front (CHRF), issued a statement urging a withdrawal of the government’s suspended extradition bill.
“If you believe in values like democracy, freedom, human rights and the rule of law like we do, please, we urge all of you to voice out during the G20 summit, and defend our rights together with Hong Kong people,” it read.
The pro-democracy coalition have led millions on marches over recent weeks against the bill, as demands have evolved into calling for universal suffrage ahead of the July 1 pro-democracy rally.
CHRF manifesto :
"Withdraw the Extradition Bill! Free Hong Kong!
A time when democracy and freedom are universal values that are inviolable.
Hong Kong people had urged for democratisation for over 30 years. When Hong Kong was handed over to China since 1997, as written in the Sino-British Joint Declaration, China promised that Hong Kong can enjoy One Country Two Systems and a high degree of autonomy. The Basic Law also promised universal suffrage to be implemented in the year of 2007 to 2008. But China broke these promises, and gradually intervened deeply in Hong Kong’s internal affairs.
Hong Kong people have always insisted on having universal suffrage – to let Hong Kong people rule Hong Kong. Unfortunately, we seem to be further and further away from genuine democracy. In merely 22 years after the hand-over, the One Country Two Systems principle barely survives. During the [legislative] process of the “Extradition Bill”, the Hong Kong Liaison Office blatantly intervened in Hong Kong’s internal affairs and scrapped the promises of [a] high degree of autonomy.
This year, the government decided to put the Extradition Bill through Legislative Council, in order to make all people in Hong Kong, including local citizens and expats, to be potentially extradited to China, or to countries which have less protection on human rights and the rule of law. This will destroy existing protection on human rights and the rule of law in Hong Kong and will crack down the last defence to freedom and safety.
In our current political system, Hong Kong does not have genuine democracy. To stop this evil law from passing, 1.03 million followed by 2 million Hongkongers courageously took to the streets in the past two weeks. Some were even cracked down by the police with excessive, disproportionate force and lethal weapons. But the government only gave a shallow apology, without making any tangible changes.
As world leaders meet at the G20 summit, Hong Kong citizens now sincerely urge all of you, including Xi Jinping, to answer our humble questions: Does Hong Kong deserve democracy? Should Hong Kong people enjoy democracy? Can [a] democratic system be implemented in Hong Kong now?
Dear friends from around the world. I believe you have seen through media and the Internet, that Hongkongers spared no efforts to safeguard our freedom. Please bear in mind: if the Extradition Bill passes, when you come to Hong Kong to travel, study or for business, you may face unfair trials. If you believe in values like democracy, freedom, human rights and the rule of law like we do, please, we urge all of you to voice out, during the G20 summit and defend our rights together with Hong Kong people."

U.P. Breaking News: K. I. Sawyer Latest KC-135 Emergency Landing/Raising Safety Concerns
The following exclusive information was not reported yet by Upper Peninsula TV stations and other media.
Many safety questions remain and a military plane is officially grounded after an emergency in the skies over Marquette County, Michigan on Tues. July 8, 2014
The emergency landing of a KC-135 refueling tanker is the latest in a series of similar hydraulic incidents involving the aging fleet of Milwaukee's 128th Air Refueling Wing, Upper Peninsula Breaking News has learned.
Veteran Investigative Reporter Greg Peterson has the story:
upperpeninsulabreakingnews.wordpress.com/2014/07/09/u-p-b...
-----
Essentially a flying gas station – this Air National Guard KC-135 is grounded – following an emergency that has happened at least 5 times in the past two years to KC 135 refueling tankers from the 128th Air Refueling Wing in Milwaukee.
That's right – at least 5 times in the past two years – a KC-135 from the 128th has developed hydraulic problems resulting in emergency landings at airports around the Midwest.
The tankers are all about 50 years old.
In fact in June 2013, a reporter for Milwaukee Television station WISN TV-12 investigated a rash of KC-135 emergency landings after hydraulic warning.
Upper Peninsula Breaking News called the 128th's public affairs office to verify this important safety problem.
With overcast skies, the three-member crew of this KC-135 declared a hydraulic emergency:
Chief Don Hutchens, Forsyth Township Volunteer Fire Department:
Emergency officials from across Marquette County responded to the plane's call for help – fearing it might crash while landing – which would have been catastrophic.
The KC -135 was among several planes from the 128th Refueling Wing that have been practicing touch and goes on K.I. Sawyer's long runways.
Now the Marquette County Airport, the once vibrant K.I. Sawyer Air Force Base was a Strategic Air Command base – constantly on alert - with bomber crews ready to fly in moments.
This reporter has had the pleasure of riding on two KC-135 Refueling Tankers – as show in this photo when I worked at WLUC TV-6 in Marquette.
We refueled F-16 Jets over Lake Huron.
Then this reporter became one of only a handful of civilians to ride aboard a B-52 Bomber – this while I did features stories for the Mining Journal newspaper.
I was given this official coin of the Sawyer bomber wing and a patch – after as 12-hour flight that included Fourth of July Parades and an airshow in Grand Rapids.
This reporter hopes the officials at Milwaukee's 128th Air Refueling Wing get to the bottom of this hydraulic issues before there is a tragedy – as the large number of emergencies on this flying gas station is scary to all involved.

Military plane makes emergency landing in Indiana
www.wisn.com/news/south-east-wisconsin/milwaukee/Military...
A plane from Milwaukee's 128th Air Refueling Wing of the Wisconsin Air National Guard is grounded and undergoing repairs after an in-flight emergency Tuesday.
For the fourth time in two months a KC-135 from Milwaukee makes an emergency landing, this time in Indiana.
The flight crew lost control of the hydraulic system and made an emergency landing in Indiana.
It's the fourth in-flight emergency in recent weeks involving four KC-135 refueling tankers.
Each of the planes is about 50 years old, which has some wondering if the aging aircraft are as safe as they should be.
