Voting And All The Days Surrounding It Before And After
The time is etching closer and closer for the voting. The conversation fast forwards to after voting. What will everyone be doing beyond the vote? Before looking toward the after voting time, we must focus on before the voting. There are arguments spreading all over the world like wildfire. A big number of people are fighting against voting at all. The main reason some are against voting is because of the issues that are not being discussed. These issues are not even being brought in as the main topic when it comes down to all the serious matters. People are having a hard time finding someone that they feel is the right man or woman for the job.

Donald J. Trump: Putin's Agent In Place
An "agent without portfolio" is an agent who operates without a specific position tied to a specific organization. A free-lancer. I learned the trade craft as a child growing-up in the '60s and '70s and began to apply it in Europe on both sides of the Iron Curtain in the '80s on occasion, and operated professionally in the '90s in North America, retiring in 2000, until the War on Terror dragged me back in on occasion. My specialties are information warfare, psychological warfare, counter-intelligence, intelligence, surveillance, counter-surveillance, non-lethal weapons, improvised weapons, propaganda, counter-terrorism and political science. In all of those activities I have excelled. I've been an informant, advisor and consultant for law enforcement, intelligence agencies and committees on a local, state, federal and military level. I've handled classified information and been cleared to advise military intelligence in secret matters. I state this as a demonstration of my expertise for this composition, for which I present supporting evidence which I'm qualified to validate. Like many others, I now feel compelled to speak out because I recognize what is happening to my country, how it is happening and why it is happening beyond what others have braved to express and may not fully understand. Others, like former CIA Director John Brennan.

Slowing Deforestation
Togo is situated between Ghana and Benin. Biomass accounts for 71% of the country’s energy use. The country relies heavily on imports for other forms of energy. 26% of the country’s energy needs are meet by petroleum products. Electricity meets only 3% of Togo’s energy needs (World Bank, Africa Region 2013, 12). Togo imports more than 70% of its electricity, mostly from Ghana and Nigeria (Ntagungira 2015, 15). Although electricity constitutes a very small portion of Togo’s energy use, expanding and improving the electrical grid is seen as a priority by the world bank and the Togolese government (World Bank, Africa Region 2013, 7). Togo’s utility, the Benin Electricity Company (CEB) was formed by Togo and Benin in 1968. The jointly operated utility hold’s itself up has a model of regional collaboration, however the company’s inability to generate sufficient capacity has led to heavy reliance on electrical imports. The Togolese government is now looking to independent producers to increase supply. Increasing Togo’s electrical production and connection will be a very long-term project.

This is not good news
Last March the UK was put in coronavirus lockdown for 100 days. 100 days. But, it felt like forever. It felt like forever since we last had our hair cut since we had a chilled pint at our favourite pub since we wrapped our arms around our (still vulnerable) parents. For 100 days we couldn't go to the theatre or cinema. It was only March when Boris Johnson announced that Covid-19 posed a genuine risk to the UK and that we must "stay home, protect the NHS and save lives."
