I Accuse-: The Anti-Sikh Violence of 1984 by Jarnail Singh My rating: 5 of 5 stars Remember the journalist who threw a shoe at P Chidambram at a press conference a few years ago? That journalist, Jarnail Singh, is the author of this book. He was just an 11 year old kid, a resident of Lajpat Nagar, when he witnessed the vicious violence against the Sikhs in Delhi in the aftermath of Indira Gandhi’s assassination. Many books have been written on the incident and the long pending justice that is still awaited by its victims and survivors more than 30 years later. I have not read most of those books, but there is something very emotional and personal about this one. For Jarnail Singh, this is too close to heart. The narration of first person accounts is simple but direct. It is difficult not to picture the carnage, the brutality and inhumanity of the unimaginable attacks. Men turned to monsters. More than 30 long years later, the victims’ families continue to live in the long shadow of the attacks , their lives upended, their futures ruined, relegated to peripheral rehabilitations, survivors still struggling to survive, though many have succumbed. The administration’s evident involvement and yet painfully slow and reluctant action to bring justice is outrageous. Khushwant Singh writes in his foreword to the book, that it is a must read for all those who wish that such horrendous crimes do not take place again. And yet we see more examples of the same things happening today. Human life continues to hold little value in the face of what is manufactured belief, asserted boundary, wrenched legitimacy.

Miami from Orlando though we had stopped for lunch at a Chinese restaurant in Palm Beach. I ordered the chicken tacos and I was quite happy with the mix of fillings, not too spicy, just the way I like it. The salads were fresh and the sliders were quickly cleaned off the plate. I highly recommend sitting on the terrace at The Stanton. It's at 161 Ocean Drive. Driving on Miami's main drag, Collins Avenue, is so distracting with all the tempting shop windows and the iconic Art Deco buildings. In contrast, the drive on Ocean Drive along the coast is more calm and scenic. We found lots of parking spaces (perhaps because it was a weekday), incentive enough to test the sand and exercise our cramped legs after sitting in the car for hours. Ybor City, Tampa We discovered Ybor City on our way out of Tampa. We couldn't do much sightseeing as it was pouring heavily. But it cleared up as we approached Ybor City, a once prosperous suburb from the 1890s when the tobacco industry was flourishing and employed immigrants from Cuba, Spain and Italy. Fortunes changed after the Great Depression and Ybor was left to languish. A renaissance of the neighborhood began in the 1980s when artists set up their studios and food and entertainment businesses followed suit. Traces of the good old days are still evident today, especially on 7th Avenue, its main street. Ybor City is a National Historical Landmark District. The Columbia Restaurant is the oldest restaurant in Florida and the largest Spanish restaurant in the world. It was opened by Cuban immigrants in 1905 and continues to be operated to this day by the same family. The Columbia has expanded to six other locations in Florida. Their adress is 2117 E 7th Avenue in Ybor. There is a Spanish flamenco dance show 6 days a week at this location. For reservations check here: columbiarestaurant.com. Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral A trip to Florida wouldn't be complete without a visit to the amazing Kennedy Space Center. Most of us have only seen the launching of rockets on television. To see these spacecrafts in person and to learn about the process leading up to their launching add to a deep appreciation of the NASA space program and of the people who made them happen. I was frankly awed by it all especially while watching the Apollo 11 landing on the moon and hearing the astronaut, Neil Armstrong, say these now famous words, "Houston, Tranquility Base here…the Eagle has landed.” I had goosebumps! The Atlantis space shuttle was first launched in October 1985. It completed 33 missions including the "on orbit" launch of the spacecrafts, Magellan and Galileo, and 7 missions to the Russian space station, among others. It's last mission was in July 2011. There's a steep entrance fee to the Kennedy Space Center but the total experience is worth it. Arrive early to see all the exhibits, film footage of the lunar landing, 3D documentary films about space exploration and our planet and the bus trip to the launching pad. Exciting possibility of seeing some alligators along the way. Follow this link for more information: *This article is a late post. (Better late than never.) We were in Florida in May 2016. ***** Images by TravelswihCharie

One of my new year’s resolutions was to put together photobooks of the kids. There’s only one problem, when you’re as behind as I am you find yourself gazing over old photographs with a sense of nostalgia and you end up being lost for hours at a time, looking at how your life has unfolded. […]

Out of pure intrest, how do the shadowcat and scepter compare? Out of pure intrest, how do the shadowcat and scepter compare? The ShadowCat was a bit longer approximately 1 1/2". And whereas the ShadowCat had a 3pc riser the ScepterV was of one solid pc of machined aluminum. Everything else was the same. Just using my common sense I'd say if you shoot them both while blindfolded you would not be able to tell the difference. If You're Not Living on the Edge You're Taking Up Too Much Space Martin/Rytera Staff Shooter Alien Mafia PSAA Life member, UBP Life member PADI AOW Diver Yeah, it'd been nice if the Scepter V shooters would "show and tell." My 2011 Shadowcat is still going strong. Accuracy is great and using CXL Pro 150s I have good speed for ASA events. Owner of Prairie archery Grangeville, Idaho A good friend of mine picked up a used Septer V from guy he met at the Redding shoot. I shot it and my Shadowcat back to back. To me the Septer V draws and shoots alot smoother than the Shadowcat. I just wish that the ppl at Martin would of made it a longer ATA rather than a shorter ATA. If anyone at Martin was to really give a hoot, listen to the ppl that shoot the bows and make a finger bow that will kill the domination that Hoyt has on the market. I know that we are a small number of shooters, but a bow with a ATA of at least 46" would make a killer target and 3-D bow for everyone. Just my .02 worth. Heck, I would even pitch in a couple of hunderd to help build a prototype with a 46" ATA. and do the testing. I know I could sell at least 5 bows in a heartbeat right here in So.. Would be nice to see a couple of pics of them what are the Scepters retailing at anyway? it aint on the online store Later runs of the 2010 Shadowcats had a more contoured grip, far better than the earlier models. In 2011 the Shadowcat was shortened to 41 1/4", but had strings identical in length of the 2010. I had all three..... Still have the 2011. my scepter v is smoother and faster than my shadowcat...but i really like the shadowcat for indoors for some reason. the scepter rolls over smoother than the s.c. the finish on the s.c. is superior to the finish on the scepter, but the way i bang my bows around that really isn't an issue. my s.c. must be one of the early ones because the grip is much more square than the scepter.

James Kirkup Labour’s bizarre decision to bar the founder of Counting Dead Women It’s almost reassuring to learn that even amid the coronavirus horror, some things don’t change. Even though the country is at a standstill, the Labour party’s civil war over sex and transgender issues goes on. Earlier this week, the Labour party – you remember, the party of fairness and kindness and compassion and equality – decided that it has no place for a woman who has worked tirelessly to protect women from abuse and to remind the world about murdered women who are so often ignored. Let’s start with murdered women. There are quite a lot of them: 241 women were killed in England and Wales last year. Most of them are killed by men – men they know. Often this is taken as mundane, just one of those unremarkable facts of life (and death) that doesn’t make much news. Man kills woman is dog bites man, if you will. Some people do think this is worth making noise about. You might know that every year, the Labour MP Jess Phillips reads out a roll-call of the dead, naming the women killed by men in the past year. Whether or not you share Phillips’ politics or think this issue is deserving of parliamentary time, you must concede that this simple act has both emotional power and political impact. It has helped push the often-neglected issue of domestic violence a little further up the agenda. What you might not know is the name of the women who collects those names. She is Karen Ingala-Smith and she runs the Counting Dead Women project, which does exactly that. When Ingala-Smith isn’t counting and naming dead women, she runs a charity that provides refuge for women who have suffered physical and sexual abuse. In that capacity, she has given evidence to parliamentary inquiries, briefed politicians and worked with major corporate sponsors on issues around the murder of women. She’s won prizes from such sources as the National Diversity Awards and is doing a PhD in sociology in her spare time. In any normal, sane and ordered world, you would be utterly unsurprised to learn that Ingala-Smith was a Labour party member, maybe an activist and quite likely the sort of person the party would be keen to have in Parliament. Hers is, after all, an impressive CV showing deep and effective commitment to the sort of cause that Labour says it exists to promote. But Karen Ingala-Smith is not a Labour party member. She was, for a long time, until she quit in 2018, unhappy at some of the things going on under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership. More recently, she applied to rejoin the party, something quite a few people have done since Corbyn announced he was off. And guess what the Labour party said to Karen Ingala-Smith? No. There is no place in the party for you. Why? Why would Labour reject the membership of a woman who has devoted more than 25 years to protecting women from abuse and violence, and fighting for officials to focus on the abuse and murder of women? Well, it might not surprise you to learn that this is about trans issues. In a letter dated March 24th, the Governance and Legal Unit at Labour HQ informed Ingala-Smith that she was not welcome in the party: ‘The information brought to our attention is that you have engaged in conduct online that may reasonably be seen to demonstrate hostility based on gender identity. Your application for membership of the Labour party has therefore been rejected.’ The letter does not observe any due process by telling Ingala-Smith what the evidence used against her might be, of course. So no one beyond Labour HQ knows what Ingala-Smith has done to ‘demonstrate hostility based on gender identity’, whatever that means. For context, I should note that the shelters and hostels Ingala-Smith runs in north London operate on a female-only basis. They only admit people who are biologically female. Trans women, that is to say, people born male who identify as female, are not admitted. ‘One of the most important ways that we can contribute to creating a “safe space” for women who have experienced men’s violence… is quite simply by keeping men out. Men are far more likely to commit violence than women. Exclude men and you are very significantly reducing the prevalence of violence. There is no credible evidence suggesting that males who identify as trans commit violence against women at lower rates than those who do not. I’m not saying that men who identify as transgender are inherently violent or that all trans identified males are violent – just that they are no less violent that other males. And they are males.’ She added that women who have been abused by men sometimes develop a trauma response to men, meaning that being in the presence of men (people with male bodies, voices, mannerisms and so on) is troubling and even harmful to them. This is why she does not admit biological men into her refuge. (The whole speech, which is long, reasoned and detailed, is here. I recommend reading it all.) This approach is, narrowly speaking, discriminatory. It is also entirely lawful: the Equality Act 2010 permits sex-based discrimination to preserve female-only services such as refuges for victims of abuse. I suppose this turns on motive. Why does Ingala-Smith act in this way? Why does she not allow people with male bodies into refuges for women who have been beaten and abused by people with male bodies? There are, broadly, two possible explanations. The first is that Karen Ingala-Smith, a woman who has worked ceaselessly to protect vulnerable women, has concluded that this policy is the best way to protect the women in her refuges. The second is that Karen Ingala-Smith, a lifelong campaigner for the vulnerable, has contrived this policy out of prejudice against a minority group. And somehow, somehow, Labour party officials in charge of membership appear to have decided to accept that the second explanation is more plausible than the first. So Labour, as it exists today, is not the party for a woman such as Karen Ingala-Smith. Soon the party will have a new leader, who will have many significant decisions to make about Labour’s future direction. One of them should be to decide whether Labour wants to be the party of people like Karen Ingala Smith, or the party of the people who want to drive away women like her.

“Dad, tell us the story about mom and grandma again,” said Jeff’s eight year old daughter. “No problem baby,” he said. “Here we go.” “Sleep sweet baby,” Lily whispered then put her hand over the tiny eyelids, and kissed the little forehead and cheeks. Tonight would be the last night in the city, sleeping in abandoned rooms, her baby in a box, alone and unwanted. Down the roads she walked, silent and unseen. Going through the back door of the mansion, once her mansion, she walked silently to the bedroom of the woman who stole her family. At the tender age of seventeen she’d married for love, or so she thought. It was an arranged marriage with the twenty-six year old son of a friend of the family, and business associate of her father. Soon she found out that she was only an asset with a wifely duty to share a bed twice a week, and to look good at social events. Her husband had a mistress who would never be part of their society. He also had a mistress named Florence, who was the wife of a much older and sickly man. One day the mistress with the sickly husband became a widow. Lily also became ill and sensitive to light. She would sleep walk into the night and dream of dancing under the moon with people who loved her. Then she realized it was not a dream, but she kept her night walks secret. The beautiful young widow Florence came to visit Lily. Florence said, “I am the woman he loves. He always loved me but was forced to marry you. I want you to know that. I want you to be a shadow or you will be put into an asylum and never see your son again.” Lily listened. Inside of her the baby she carried stirred without the knowledge of her husband or Florence. Her son lay asleep in his bed. Her husband was at his club. Florence smiled sweetly and said, “It will be my way from now on. If you were smart you would go away, you are unwell, go away and divorce your husband.” Lily died a few night later, or so her husband thought. That night he celebrated with Florence. The boy cried for his mother. Florence slapped him across the face and told him to stay in his room. She said she was now his mother. Lily woke with a baby ready to be born. She gave birth to a daughter alone in a crypt. Then she made her plan. In the morning Florence was found dead in her bed with her throat ripped out, as if an animal had attacked her. Her husband was left with a ragged cut on his handsome face. His safe was empty of gold. His first wife’s jewels were gone. His son was gone. At the age of twenty, in the year 1850, Lily booked passage on a ship bound for the California gold fields, with her children, and her wealth. She was happy with her new friends. In fact she is still happy today. “And that my children is the story of my mother, and your grandmother.” Happy Mother’s Day 2017. ~ end Happy Mother’s Day everyone. Since this is Mother’s Day I was short on time. This was a blinding fifteen minute story sprint – but since this is a true story it wasn’t hard to write down.. Have fun. xoxo ~ Juliette aka Vampire Maman Sort of an offbeat Mother’s Day story, J, but I like it ! 🙂 Very nice, Juliette. I love it.

Innovation and Creativity Pillars of the Future Global Economy Edited by Filip De Beule and Ysabel Nauwelaerts Chapter 10: Innovation initiative within foreign subsidiaries in South Korea: determinants and outcomes Axèle Giroud, Yoo Jung Ha and Mo Yamin Extract Innovation is the process through which new products or processes are introduced within the firm; it represents the end of a process of knowledge sourcing and transformation, as well as the beginning of a process of exploitation which may result in an improvement in the performance of the innovating firm (Roper and Love, 2008). Within the context of the multinational corporation (MNC), localized subsidiary innovation (innovation initiative) refers to the extent to which subsidiaries develop and adopt new products, processes or administrative systems locally (Mu et al., 2007; Ghoshal and Bartlett, 1988). The perspectives of organizational learning and knowledge (Cohen and Levinthal, 1990), and inter-firm networks (Forsgren, 2008) explain how subsidiaries have a local network of relationships that provides access to local knowledge. Authors have emphasized the importance of local resources for MNE innovation (Almeida, 1996; Pearce, 1999). In this chapter, both approaches are therefore considered. The literature first described how ownership-specific advantages were developed at the corporate HQ levels, and leveraged overseas through knowledge.

A new paper by S. Spacic et al. in Aquatic Toxicology, presents important findings with regards to the mechanisms underlying 2,4-DABA neurotoxicity. From the abstract: “Recent studies suggest that 2,4-DABA, a neurotoxic excitatory amino acid present in virtually all environments, but predominantly in aquatic ecosystems may be a risk factor for development of neurodegenerative diseases in animals and humans. Despite its neurotoxicity and potential environmental importance, mechanisms underlying the excitatory and putative excitotoxic action of 2,4-DABA in neurons are still unexplored. We previously reported on extensive two-stage membrane depolarization and functional disturbances in leech Retzius neurons induced by 2,4-DABA. Current study presents the first detailed look into the electrophysiological processes leading to this depolarization. Intracellular recordings were performed on Retzius neurons of the leech Haemopis sanguisuga using glass microelectrodes and input membrane resistance (IMR) was measured by injecting hyperpolarizing current pulses through these electrodes. Results show that the excitatory effect 2,4-DABA elicits on neurons’ membrane potential is dependent on sodium ions. Depolarizing effect of 5·10−3 mol/L 2,4-DABA in sodium-free solution was significantly diminished by 91% reducing it to 3.26 ± 0.62 mV and its two-stage nature was abrogated. In addition to being sodium-dependent, the depolarization of membrane potential induced by this amino acid is coupled with an increase of membrane permeability, as 2,4-DABA decreases IMR by 8.27 ± 1.47 MΩ (67.60%). Since present results highlight the role of sodium ions, we investigated the role of two putative sodium-dependent mechanisms in 2,4-DABA-induced excitatory effect – activation of ionotropic glutamate receptors and the electrogenic transporter for neutral amino acids. Excitatory effect of 5·10−3 mol/L 2,4-DABA was partially blocked by 10-5 mol/L 6-cyano-7-nitroquinoxaline-2,3-dione (CNQX) a non-NMDA receptor antagonist as the first stage of membrane depolarization was significantly reduced by 2.59 ± 0.98 mV (40%), whilst second stage remained unaltered. Moreover, involvement of the sodium-dependent transport system for neutral amino acids was investigated by equimolar co-application of 5·10−3 mol/L 2,4-DABA and L-alanine, a competitive inhibitor of this transporter. Although L-alanine exhibited no effect on the first stage of membrane depolarization elicited by 2,4-DABA, it substantially reduced the second stage (the overall membrane depolarization) from 39.63 ± 2.22 mV to 16.28 ± 2.58 mV, by 58.92%. We therefore propose that the electrophysiological effect of 2,4-DABA on Retzius neurons is mediated by two distinct mechanisms, i.e. by activation of ionotropic glutamate receptor that initiates the first stage of membrane depolarization followed by the stimulation of an electrogenic sodium-dependent neutral amino acid transporter, leading to additional influx of positive charge into the cell and the second stage of depolarization.” The paper acknowledges CYANOCOST.

Life can definitely be a rollercoaster. Yesterday I felt the need to write, and never did. I’m somewhat glad because of what happened last night. This retrograde has brought about a huge release and realization in me. I gained my physical shop that I had been manifesting, two days ago. Then yesterday morning I had the most energy.. I was so thankful for everything I just cried happy tears. I danced around and listened to all my favorite music. I was on top of the world But then last night, old programming came up that made me see what really was, and what I needed to admit. I’m not as healed as I would like to be. Life can be a struggle, and that’s ok. I’m not perfect. I’ll never be. I embrace the part of me that shows this fear, I love her. She’s been through so much she deserves patience. For a long time I would get triggered and run my mouth and lose people I loved. I thought this is what happened last night… but the love me and that man share is stronger than that. He listened to my bitching.. and finally had enough… and I know he didn’t deserve it. My bitching came from a place of impatience. I dealt with the pain of him “leaving me alone” and in the midst of it, I was wanting to die. How could I, again?? I was so tired of me. How could I bitch at this man when a he is, is good to me. I feel his love, he’s always there for me. I have to get this under control. Its important to know that life will happen, you will have bad days. You will experience your own toxicities so you can adjust. You will be shown, who u are and what it causes if u pay attention. Then you’re responsible for shifting and becoming a better human. You’re responsible for showing others as well. I Am a Goddess. Biology and Ether Balance of both light and dark. This journey has been wonderous, scary, enlightening, and beautiful and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. Walking into walmart last night, following the man who shows me so much love.. I received a message. “You are the light for other, even when you’re heart is breaking ..” This is true. Lightworkers are always doing what they are meant to, even if its painful and they are hurting, their light is shining bright.

This paper was prepared for the Program on Education Policy and Governance conference: Mobilizing the Private Sector for Public Education. The conference, held on October 5 and 6, 2005 at the John F. Kennedy School of Government, was co-sponsored by the World Bank. Public charter schools offer today's most dramatic example of mobilizing the private sector on behalf of public education in the United States. The charter movement is a dynamic. More than that, the practice of "chartering schools" provides a compelling example of how the entire U.S. education enterprise can be redesigned. In this essay, we review the background of charter schooling, examine how charter schools are doing in 2005, and draw a series of lessons about the nexus of public and private forces in chartering.

Praise & Reviews "The author’s storytelling skills are large, and you find yourself trusting her style and instincts. Even while sending the characters on enough new adventures to fill five different novels, she manages to engage the reader’s interest at every turn; the developing plot always defines the characters’ feelings and conflicts superbly. I found myself continually unable to anticipate where the plot might go next, but once an unexpected development occurred, I said, yes, of course it had to be this way …" - Michael S. "Even being a new author, Kara Wilson brings her world and characters to life very well. I'd recommend this to anyone who enjoys a good story, powers, animals, fight scenes, and kingdoms warring with each other." - Dakota "Kara Wilson has a wonderful knack for details that make this fantasy story seem real throughout the novel. She is able to keep her fantastical storyline without losing track that these people are also just that, people. The story and its characters (both the main and side characters) are very interesting and you genuinely want them all to succeed and you will root for them throughout their journeys." - Krilligan "After 10 hours of reading, I felt pleased and satisfied like I'd been on a wonderful vacation.

U.S. Reports Anthrax In a Human AP Published: July 12, 1988 ATLANTA, July 11— Federal health officials have reported the nation's first case of human anthrax since 1984, which apparently started with contaminated cashmere at a textile plant. A 42-year-old maintenance man at the North Carolina textile mill became ill in July 1987 with a small red lesion on his arm, and developed pain, fever and chills over the following week, the Centers for Disease Control reported last week. The patient was diagnosed as suffering from a cutaneous form of anthrax, a highly infectious disease caused by bateria. The disease, which is potentially fatal, is most commonly found in cattle and sheep. Only nine other human anthrax cases have been reported in the United States in the last decade, the Federal agency said. Vaccination programs were recommended for workers at the North Carolina plant and at a Texas plant where the cashmere was washed, the agency said. It did not identify the locations involved. The centers tested 59 textile samples from the mill, - including five samples of West Asian cashmere, and found eight to be contaminated with anthrax bacteria. ''The West Asian cashmere was probably the contaminant,'' the centers reported. ''Western Asia is an endemic area for anthrax.'' The other three contaminated samples were either debris or Australian wool, which may have been cross-contaminated while stored near the cashmere, the agency said.

experience (UX). The difference between a website that sucks and one that rocks is the user experience design. If a website sucks, you know the conversion rate will be disappointing, to put it mildly. But if your website rocks? Your conversion shoots through the roof and you feel like a royalty. Table of Contents What is User Experience? To begin with, UX is quite broad. There are different types of user experiences based on product type, service type, industry and field of study and so on. As a result, there have been several formal definitions of User Experience. However, this article will focus on digital user experience. But even at that, digital UX is also sub-categorized into a different areas— websites, applications, intranets, software— which are all thick on their own. So, out of that, we will essentially zero in on”website user experience.” That said, let look at what UX means to the website owner… User Experience is the cumulative experience of a user when interacting with or using a website. It’s how easy or pleasing visitors find your website. And there are many factors that influence the UX of a website. Here are some as put together by Smashing Magazine: Why is user experience important? Well, if a website sucks, people will just stay away from it. The abandonment rate may go through the roof, unfortunately. That’s obvious. Difference Between UX and UI In the UX community, there’s been this interminable debate over UX and UI. And since we’re looking at UX at the moment, it’ll make sense to fix this. User Experience focuses on things that might positively or negatively affect a person’s experience using a website. This includes basic things like usability, fast load times etc. User Interface (UI) on the other hand focuses basically on the front-end of your website. That includes the layout, visual design, pages, navigation and every other thing users see when visiting your website. This simple drawing should help you better understand the difference between UX and UI. Both UX and UI are critical to a product and work together closely. In fact, the first step to a great user experience is to meet the exact needs of the customer by optimizing the UI perfectly well. A good analogy of the difference/relationship between UX and UI is this: In a hotel, the “UI” can be seen as the interior design of all places clients are allowed to set their foot, plus the manners and dresses of the staff members they’ll deal with during their stay. UX is the feelings and experiences clients get while interacting with the UI. It’s that simple. The Value of User Experience UX centers around ensuring that users find value in your offering. Peter Morville shows this through his User Experience Honeycomb. He suggested that to create great user experience that offers value, elements must be: - Useful: Your information (content) must be helpful and should meet visitors need - Usable: Site must be simple to use and easy to access - Desirable: Images and other design elements should be used to excite emotion and appreciation - Findable: Customers should be able to find and navigate content - Accessible: Content must be accessible to users with disabilities - Credible: Your information and message must be trustworthy and believable. User Experience Design User Experience Design (UXD or UED) is one of the major areas of UX. It’s the process of making better the overall experience and satisfaction of users, by improving the usability, accessibility and visuals of a website. UXD is significant to every usable thing we build— be it a business website, an application, a product, SaaS & PaaS services, and every other thing people use. It’s pretty easy to think of design as merely the colorful part of a website. But it’s more than that. Design encompasses everything you see— the words, the pictures, the product images, and even the unused spaces. User experience design is how you take all these stuff, put them together and make them work collectively in a way that’s visually pleasing and beneficial to the user. This determines the overall feeling a user will get from interacting with your website. UXD Hacks for Increasing Your Website Conversion Here are 10 user experience design hacks you can use to create an awesome experience for your website visitors, kick ass with your conversion rate and turn ordinary visitors into purchasing customers. 1. Remove Every Broken Links If you run a website, chances are visitors are likely to see 404 errors (caused by broken links). 404 errors frustrate users, impede the action they wanted to take and result in bad UX. But, what is even worse is that these errors can kill conversion rates as fast as poorly optimized landing pages can. Dead links act as roadblocks to your conversion. When a user reaches a 404 page, they feel helpless. They can’t do what they wanted to do. And so the only option is to leave and probably go to a competitor’s site to buy. As for you, you lose visitors and potential customers. This dampens UX and marks your website as unhelpful, which means it isn’t helping people find what they wanted. So, what can you do to stop visitors from leaving your site when they reach a 404 error? Here are a few suggestions: - Use the available tools. There are a number of tools to help you curb these errors. For instance, if your website is running on WordPress, there are WordPress plugins like All 404 Redirect which automatically redirects visitors to the homepage or to any other page on the website if the page they are looking for isn’t available. - Make the errors continuable. Reduce the risk of losing visitors by making it possible for them to continue on the conversion process. The easier it is for somebody to continue on your website after reaching an error, the less frustrated they’ll feel after reaching that error. You can do this by suggesting some specific links just as shown in this screenshot below: - Use a search tool. Just like links, a search feature allows people to continue surfing your site. When they reach an error page, if they see a Search form there, they can enter their desired keyword and have some suggestions displayed before them. Allow them to contact you. After reach a road block on your website, users are likely to be confused. So, to create a good UX for them at that point, it’ll make sense to allow them to contact you. This you can do by offering a chat live, contact form, or some other ways to access help. Here are some creative 404 error pages for you to learn from. (HINT: Notice the tactics used in these pages which I did mention above. for example, the first error page includes navigation menu for users to continue.) 2. Humanize Your Website to Improve User Experience To humanize your website means to make customers see and know that there are some real people behind the scene who they can trust. It’s about creating the human-to-human feeling through your design and content. People like and trust things that seem more human and less robotic. In fact, this A/B testing study found that 37Signals achieved 102.5% increase in sign-ups for their Highrise product by adding a picture of a person. Here’s what the old and new designs looked like: The simple way to humanize your website is to appeal to emotions. While you can appeal to emotions through some copywriting methods like storytelling, when it comes to design, you can do this through people. That’s because most purchases are actually based on emotions and people convey emotions. So, if you truly want to create those emotions and boost your conversion rate, show customers how other people feel using the products or services. Specifically, you can do this by adding great-looking images of a real, happy, smiling people… Or by adding a video of real people (not cartoons). Videos put a face to your brand and make it look more human and less of a machine. You can base your video around such ideas as: - A review of your product - Education, where you teach people how to use the product (good for tech items) - A demonstration of the product, specifically showing benefits - Interview with your CEO - How to register or create account on your website - A recent initiative or an unforgettable event your team embarked on etc. Visuals communicate emotions, demonstrate products, add credibility, and intimate your offering with people. This explains why clothing firms use charming models to showcase their products. It makes the potential customer feel they’ll also look fabulous in the clothing. 3. Streamline the Process In interacting with your website, visitors do go through some processes— the conversion process, checkout process, buying process, and even learning processes. Conventional wisdom says that you have to keep people for long on your website. But did you know that keeping people long on a website can negatively affect your conversion rate and the user experience? While there’s nothing wrong with keeping people on a website, you should make effort to ensure that customers do not stay on a single process longer than normal. In fact, it’s advisable that you streamline the process and make it super fast and easy for people to complete them. It’s a matter of simplifying the process and creating a great user experience for customers versus making the process complex, which results in poor UX. This is directly connected to your user experience design— the amount of time visitors spend through the processes, the things they have to do while going through those processes, the links they have to click, the forms they have to fill and how easy it is to locate those forms, the photos they have to look at to understand your offering better, these are all part of your UED. Some ways to simplify processes on your website include: - Shortening the form (shorter forms convert better than longer forms) - Configuring your website to Improve Page load Time and load faster. - Make it easy for users to navigate your site. This is SO important. In fact, that’s just about our next point. 4. Make It Easy for Users to Find Things Clean and simple navigation makes it easy for users to quickly locate what they need. So, here’s the idea: Think of what customers will look for on your site most frequently. Then make them findable. When potential customers look for something on your site but find it uneasy to locate, they’ll be frustrated and will go away… …and probably head straight to your competitor’s site. That’s a loss opportunity, another customer going away, and failure to build your conversion wall just one more step. So how do you solve this? The answer: Great UXD. That’s it! They provide users with a framework to your site content and make it easy for them to find specific information on your site. Google and other search engines love sitemaps as well basically because maps help them crawl sites easily. If you want to create site for you business website, you ca do so with a sitemap generator such as XML-Sitemaps. Search boxes are awesome too. But remember to take a look at your site search stats. If your search feature is configured to track the keywords users searched for, and how often those keywords were entered, you can use the information to re-organize your content accordingly for a better user experience. Even more, a well-arranged navigation menu is godsent. 5. Take Down All Error Messages Typos, missing PDFs, grammatical errors and misspellings can all contribute to bad user experience for your customers. When users see this kinds of error, they’ll regard you as unprofessional. And that’s the trouble. It’s poor UX. It can sabotage consumer trust, and jeopardize your branding. Error messages have to do mainly with your website content. If your web content sucks, it’s likely going to turn users off. Creating a great first impression is important. When users visit your site, one of the first elements they’ll interact with is your site content (the other one being the visuals). This makes content an important part of the UI, thus it contribute to the overall UX your website visitors get. If English is not your first language but your website is written in English, it’s highly recommended you get a pro copywriter to write your web copy. 6. Include Contact Information Not only should you include contact information, you should also make it clear and easily accessible. Also, provide multiple methods of contacting your office— phone, email, physical address, fax etc. Most users loathe contact forms, especially contact forms with CAPTCHA. They’d rather send you a simple email directly than try to figure out some characters. Yet, most businesses do not put a single email address up on their websites, but the loathsome form with CAPTCHA. We recommend that you put your phone number and email address on the footer area of every page on your website. Not just that, but if possible, include a live chat tool, too. While physical address doesn’t directly have much to do with user experience design, it can serve as a form of “trust sign.” Let me explain: When potential customers see your physical address, they’ll immediately perceive that you’re legitimate. They’ll know that you’re not some faceless, online-only company that can suddenly vanish into thin air (probably just by changing your domain name). They’ll know that you’re not without a physical office someone can walk into for help. This builds trust. And trust is just so vital. It’s a big part of user experience, thus our next point… 7. Keep the Trust Factor In Mind In most cases, the reasons why buyers do not buy (or stop midway into the purchasing process) is often connected to a lack of trust. But even for websites which don’t sell products or services online, trust is important. Improving the level of trust your website portrays can help increase its conversion rate. This is why you have to keep the trust factor in mind when working on your website design. So, the question now is: How can we improve our website design to create and support trusted user experiences? First off, customers want to be sure that: - Your company is reliable - Your product will do what you promise - Information on your website is correct, complete, and unbiased They also want to be sure that the product or service is of quality and that as a company, you will protect their personal information— emails, credit card details, names, purchasing history etc. Once these trust factors are settled in the minds of customers, you won’t have much trouble convincing them to buy from you. So when designing, you have to be sure that you fix those factors. But how do you do this? Well, there are several ways to go about it. Let’s peek into some of the most effective ones: Let’s start with social proof. One sure way to build trust is to include social proof in your design. However, for your social proof to be effective, you have to optimize it. For instance, if you’re using customer testimonials, include images (real headshots) of the people testifying. And show the testimonials where people will see them. Another effective way is to show real images of your product in use. What can the product do? Users want to see that. Integrate it into the design. Let’s not forget security. If your conversion process requires people to give personal information, it’s important they know that their data is safe. This is particularly true with online orders. Use security badges. Blend them into your design. Endorsement from a popular person or brand works powerfully, too. Many online businesses have this running. Integrating these trust elements into your web design can help boost conversion. Just remember to display them where users will see, particularly on pages where important purchasing decisions are made. When it comes to trust, visual appearance also play a major role. In a study conducted, 94% of people said a bad design is a reason they don’t trust some sites. This means it’s important you carefully check what goes into your design by allowing only the things that should be there and removing every unnecessary elements. 8. Remove Every Unnecessary Elements When talking about this, my simple rule is… Be sure to include everything that ought to be there, and be even more sure what shouldn’t be there isn’t there. If it shouldn’t be there, just don’t put it. It isn’t every web design element that you need in your website. Here’s a quick list of the major things to get rid of from your website: - Irrelevant or out-of-date images - Blank or “Under Construction” pages - Links to any of your own websites and blogs that you don’t actively maintain - Irrelevant or out-of-date demo/testimonial/review - Unnecessary or un-maintained social media accounts - Endless service offerings - Unnecessary ads Ads are dangerous for conversion. They taint and pollute your design. Sure, you can modify the ads to better suit your design, but do you really want to sacrifice user experience that much? Do you truly want people to think that other people’s products are a necessary part of your website? Not only do ads make your site look ugly, they also do the following: - Ads are a major conversion killer. They compete with your own CTAs. If a user is responding to Google’s ad CTA, that means they aren’t responding to yours. It’s like working for another man; working so hard to drive the traffic only to be cheated at the final (conversion) stage. - Ads take visitors away from your website. Again, conversion (and even retention) rates are affected. - Ads gamble with your reputation and make you feel so powerless. How? Google’s algorithm selects the ads to display on your site… not you. Now, imagine visiting your website as a user only to see a product you wouldn’t personally recommend. And worse, the product is just next to your headshot… and you’re smiling. What do think will happen to your reputation when users visit your site and see the same thing? See? Ads not only steal visitors from your website, they also show users the wrong image of your brand, weaken your conversion funnel and punch your website user experience on the face. With that said, you might want to avoid irrelevant ads like the plague. 9. Design for Users’ Screen Responsiveness is an essential part of user experience design. Consider every element alongside your design choices and how these will work on users’ screens. An unresponsive website can reduce conversion rate. You have to ensure that you convert as many people that visit your site as possible, despite the kind of devices they use. The world is going mobile. So when designing, also have the mobile user in mind. Make it possible and easy for any user to access and buy from your site irrespective of the devices they use. If someone can complete a process comfortably using a desktop device, the experience should be the same for the mobile users. Things to consider here include the visuals, sizes of site elements, accessibility, font size and so on. Your site’s performance and speed are also very essential. In a study, Kissmetrics observed that most mobile users (30%) wait between 6 and 10 seconds before abandoning a site. That’s pretty short a time and you should do every good thing possible to keep them. Kissmetrics also found this: 10. Fix the Content Layout Like it or not, readability affects user experience. The way you structure your content will determine how visitors will consume and respond to your message. This is where mastering some information architecture (how information and functionality are organised, classified and labelled) skills comes in. So, set the layout right. Use headings, bullet points and keep your content concise, short and to the point. There should be enough whitespace as well to break up content for ease of reading. This makes it easier for users to scan a page for specific information. And did I just mention the word “scan?” Sure! Visitors this days will rarely be patient enough to read your whole copy. right content layout allows your users to quickly get an idea of what the page contains and decide if they want to read further or move to another page. Usability is Important with UX First off, usability is how easy it is to use a product (including a website, software, or tool). Usability testing is a method of evaluating the product by testing it on representative users to see how easy it is to use. Usability is important for excellent user experience. Thus, after all is said and done, you have to test your product (in this case, your website) to see the ease at which an average user can use it to achieve set goals. To do this, you’d need some cool tools in hand. TruConversion is one of such. Google Analytics is another. KiSSmetrics, UserFly, Crazy Egg, Usabilla, Qualaroo, UserTesting.com, Five Second Test by Angry Monkeys, ClickHeat by LabsMedia, Simple Mouse Tracking, UserVue. These are all helpful tools you can use to carry out usability testing on your website to enhance user experience. Usability testing is a broad topic on its own; so before going at it, you should take out some time to learn about it. Websites About User Experience There are loads of websites that talk about UX.

Title Of dangerous women and hybrid nations: Women, impurity and the nation in Cuban nineteenth century Date of Award 2006 Availability Article Degree Name Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Department Spanish First Committee Member Lillian Manzour, Committee Chair Abstract From the field of cultural studies, this dissertation explores the representation of four women figures in nineteenth century Cuba (the criolla, the siboney, the mulata and the prostitute) and shows that the construction of these artistic categories became a rhetorical strategy used by men to defend their own political agenda and ideas on national identity. Its theoretical framework is developed considering the dialectical tension between the discourses of power and desire in colonial societies and it is inspired by the works of Homi Bhabha, Michel Foucault, Nancy Armstrong, Sherry Ortner, Rafael Rojas and the theories of intersectionality between class, race and gender. From this standpoint, I consider that the concepts of purity and impurity associated to the woman's body are central in the organization of state societies and that female sexuality is an interstice from which the voice of the subaltern permeates hegemonic discourses. In Cuba, women's impurity becomes a side of struggle where a discourse of political resistance is articulated. Chronologically, this dissertation embraces from the 1830s to 1880s and it is documented on works of literature and essays (including La vagancia en Cuba by Jose Antonio Saco, Una Pascua en San Marcos by Ramon de Palma, Petrona y Rosalia by Felix Tanco Bosmeniel, Siboney poetry by Jose Fornaris and Juan Cristobal Napoles Fajardo, Cecilia Valdes by Cirilo Villaverde, Carmela by Ramon Meza, Sofia by Martin Morua Delgado, Guadalupe by Pedro Giralt, La prostitucion en la Habana by Benjamin de Cespedes, Blancos y negros by Rodolfo de Lagardere, Cuba y sus jueces by Raimundo Cabrera), press (including La Moda o Recreo semanal del Bello sexo, El Prisma, El Plantel, La Piragua, El Triunfo, El Productor, La Cebolla) and specific graphic images. Through these texts it is created the category that I call impure woman, in which race and sexuality interlock. I conclude that impure women represent men's anxieties towards the raise of women's agency and towards the political future of Cuba. They also become the symbolical expression of the hybrid nature of Cuban identity.

Turkey's economy minister Kemal Dervis said on Monday, April 23, his country's crisis-ridden economy was paying the price of "unbridled" global financial deregulation. "Turkey, like many other emerging countries, is paying the economic and social price of this unbridled (international financial) deregulation," Dervis told the French daily Liberation in an interview. He said the international community should urgently set up stricter rules on transparency and prudential standards for banks and speculators. "It is always the same thing that happens. As soon as they think that their profits will drop, there is a flight of speculative capital," he said. "That just makes the crisis worse." Dervis, a former World Bank vice-president, recently unveiled a new reform program aimed at revitalizing Turkey's economy which has been embroiled in crisis since early in the year. The new program became necessary after Ankara was forced to abandon a currency peg and float the lira on February 22 to contain a serious liquidity squeeze, triggered by fears of political instability after a fierce row at the top ecehelons of the state over ways to fight corruption. The crisis was the second in four months. At the centre of instability has been delay over reform of the banking system and over deregulation. Flotation of the currency, which broke the backbone of an ambitious IMF-backed disinflation program, resulted in the lira falling some 47 percent against the dollar, price hikes on basic goods and rising inflation. Dervis hopes through the programme to win international confidence to win billions of dollars of international aid. The Dervis plan aims to cut public spending by nine percent, decrease the state's debt burden, restructure its weak banking system and speed up privatization. —(AFP) © Agence France Presse 2001 © 2001 Mena Report ( [1]) Links: [1] [2]

RIPTA News Release [.pdf] on Fare Increases, Service Cuts, and related public hearings next week: RIPTA to Hold Public Hearings on Proposed Fare Increase and Service Modification Steep Budget Deficits Driving Proposal Hearings Scheduled for July 6th, 7th and 8th in Providence, Warwick, Barrington, Newport and Narragansett PROVIDENCE, RI, June 28, 2010 – The Board of Directors of the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA) voted on May 24, 2010, to hold public hearings on proposed fare increases and service modifications in all five Rhode Island counties on July 6, 2010, July 7, 2010 and July 8, 2010. The Authority announced that the proposed fare hikes and modifications in service statewide are due to a carryover deficit from FY 2010 (which began July 1, 2009) of $1.6 million and a $2.1 million shortfall for FY 2011 that is caused principally by a reduction in revenue from the state gas tax. The proposed fare increases would raise the base fare from $1.75 to $2.00, and impact the cost of RIPTIKs, 10-Ride Passes, 15-Ride Passes, One-Day Passes, 7-Day Passes, Monthly Passes and ADA Fares. If approved by the RIPTA board, the fare increases would take effect September 1, 2010, and the proposed service reductions would take effect in August 2010 when RIPTA implements their regular fall service changes. Proposed Fare Increases The Authority is proposing to increase fares as follows: Proposed Service Modifications * New Years Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day ** New Years Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day ***New Years Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day ADA Service will only be available within 3/4 of RIPTA routes and during the same hours. “Unfortunately, we have to seek a fare increase and modifications to our service to balance the budget. The service modifications will be designed to retain as much service as possible while reducing costs and maximizing efficiency. RIPTA will continue to implement cost-effective reliability improvements including adjusting running times to compensate for congestion. We continually strive to provide the best possible quality of service to our customers with the current funding system we do have.” said RIPTA General Manager Alfred J. Moscola. Under state law the Authority must post the hearing schedule 30 days prior to holding any public hearings. The posting will appear in area newspapers on Tuesday, June 1, 2010, enabling public hearings to begin on Tuesday, July 6, 2010. All input from the public at the hearings will go to RIPTA’s Board of Directors in July and the board will vote on the fare increases and service modifications proposals at its July 19, 2010 Board meeting. Schedule for Public Hearings on Proposed Fare Increases The public hearings will be held in Warwick, Providence, Barrington, Narragansett and Newport according to the following schedule: A 72-hour notice is required for persons with sensory impairment requiring auxiliary aids at public hearings. To request this service, members of the public should contact the RIPTA ADA Coordinator at 401-784-9553 (TDD) or 800-745-5555 (RI Relay TDD). For information on RIPTA services, passengers may call 781-9400 or visit ripta.com. Remember when monthly passes were $45 a month? I remember when it was $40, and a ride on the trolley was $0.50. This was back in 2001. There’s a lot that has been said, and I have tried to be positive and point out solutions where possible. Right now, all I can say is, this sucks. At some point you have to start worrying about a death spiral. As the fare goes up and routes are cut (meaning more inconvenience) less people ride (usually the unsubsidized riders) reducing revenues beyond what the fare hike brings in which means more cuts or rate hikes forcing more riders to abandon the system and so on. Something very similar is going on in the healthcare industry. As heath insurance providers raise rates the heathiest customers who incur the least cost drop out of the system leaving only the customers who carry the most burden on insurers. In both cases the “model” is essentially broken and cannot be maintained. RIPTA already has the death spiral all planned out. They have a (I think) 5 year plan which basically closes the agency at year 5 if the Assembly does not act to fix funding. Of course it is not just RIPTA either. Our entire transportation system, roads, bridges… is untenable. The debt burden will exceed the gas tax in not too many years. The Assembly has some politically unpopular things they have to do, but there is no way around it. The CTC did what they could this year to push the Assembly, next session it is going to have to be an all out fight and a massive public education campaign. RIPTA needs to hit a home run with its General Manager search. Hire someone ambitious, with bold ideas who can get the message out and be a strong champion for transit in the state. Wouldn’t hurt if that person is a sqeaky wheel, visible, and constantly in front of the powers that be in state government and the public at-large convincing and demanding that transit get its fair share of transportation funding. 1993 – a pass was $16 through my employer. And yes I remember when the trolleys were 50 cents. How it’s changed. Interestingly I’ve been taking the #53 to get to work lately (No it’s not Wally World!) and I note when I’m on the bus at 8:33AM I’m either by myself or with one or two other people besides the driver. Surprised that route isn’t getting cut. CTC should start a more aggressive lobbying effort and organize routine demonstrations, when the General Assembly is back in session. Similar pressure should be put on the Governor\’s office. Bombarding General Assembly members by emails and phone calls would also help. Even if it\’s not apparent, elected officials are often swayed by this kind of public pressure. It shouldn’t be underestimated the effect of individuals showing up at the state house to meet their representatives to advocate for an issue. CTC\’s approach incorporating both roads and transit may help to tamper resistance to likely unpopular funding proposals. It\’s critical that as many people as possible join CTC or other advocacy groups and actively participate. I really have no data on ridership and to be honest can’t claim to be a transportation expert….but… it doesn’t stop me from thinking. I always had this idea of a hub an spoke system with regards to RIPTA. Use Rapid Bus Transport between the hubs and then use smaller buses running more local routes out from the hubs. With buses on the spoke running shorter local routes they would run more frequently and express runs between hubs might also be able to run more frequently. Kind of like the old trolley systems that ran their own short routes but came together at certain places to allow passengers to transfer. I imagined hubs using existing commercial entities ..for example hubs at the Warwick Mall, Lincoln Mall and Kennedy Plaza. The idea would be that people in Warwick, West Warwick, East Greenwich, etc…would ride a local bus to the Warwick Mall then take an express bus downtown or an Express bus up to Lincoln mall to catch a “local” to Woonsocket. The express buses could use 95, 295 and 146 (possibly with dedicated lanes). With today’s GPS technology i think it would be pretty easy to route locals and express in a way that ensures you don’t have a long wait (if any) at a hub. The idea that everyone who gets on a bus wants to end up in Providence always seemed flawed to me. I used to get on a bus in Cranston that originated in West Warwick. It never filled up until it hit the Providence line and always emptied out before it left Cranston on the way back. Yet it was spending an additional hour meandering out into West Warwick before it headed back this way. I never really fleshed it out; like adding in commuter rail and streetcar scenarios and didn’t venture too far outside the urban core into Washington and Newport Counties. I don’t even know if it would be cost effective…just thinking outside the box a bit. So anybody else have any crazy ideas about RIPTA? Just an observation. It just seems to me that RIPTA dedicates a good amount of service to communities that legislate the automobile as the primary mode of transport. If that is the case, is it any wonder why ridership, which is up over the last 10 years, is not enough to provide passenger revenue that offsets the loss in gas tax revenue? Not that these communities do not deserve service. Just saying that zoning which mandates minimum parking requirements among other car-centric ordinances seems to present a mode advantage that RIPTA cannot compete with. How many are taking the bus to the RIPTA hearings?? When I’m on the bus i’ts empty with 100 SUVs on the rode with one passinger per SUV, never more. How many can take the bus to the Fireworks? Not many as the fireworks begin at 9pm and most bus service ends at 10pm from Downtown. No special service to the fireworks! One of RIPTA’s problems is that it’s mission for a really long time was simply to bail out the private bus lines that were failing. Recently they updated their mission statement to reflect the fact that they are supposed to be a mobility manager, not just sustaining ancient bus lines. So providing service for special events like the fireworks was never part of their mission. It should be now. The other issue with special service is state/local coordination. Since RIPTA is a state agency and the fireworks are a city event, the city would have to make a request, then I’m sure there would be issues about who would pay for the special service. It really shouldn’t be this complicated, but it is. As for the empty buses, I think a lot of that goes back to their prior mission. Most RIPTA routes are based on really old private carriers, the routes likely don’t make sense anymore. The Metro Transit Study looked at service inside Route 295, now they need to look at service across the rest of the state. Does it make sense to route a bus to West Warwick or East Greenwich or Cumberland along local roads? Should those routes outside the metro area be simple extensions of city routes? Probably not. No one wants to get on a bus in Cumberland and take the local roads all the way to Providence, no one would drive that way. Suburban routes would be more enticing if they were feeder routes that then got on the highway and expressed into Providence. And if we had services like that, likely we could charge a premium fare for them. Oh, and as for taking the bus to the hearings… No one can take the bus to the later hearings and Warwick Town Hall, because all the buses that serve the area stop running too early. Narragansett Town all is not served directly by bus, and the nearest bus stops running too early for the later meeting. I didn’t check the other ones. Have there been any studies that take the Providence commuter out of the mix. What are the ridership numbers for people who require public transportation in around Kent or South County? If the numbers were there (or could be driven there..pardon the pun) could RIPTA partner up with smaller private liveries to get people to and from express routes or commuter rail? Think of it similar (but definitely not exactly) to airline code sharing. Companies that meet established standards of safety and conduct could piggy back onto RIPTA’s electronic ticketing and fare system creating a more seamless ride between points and be able to access RIPTA data to help them route plan. Whether its a full fledged local route or an on demand van pool that runs primarily during commuter time frames. Instead of being a transportation provider RIPTA starts acting more like a tranportation coordinator. BTW – I am sure they choose Narragansett Town Hall because it has plenty of parking! Op-Ed in the July 7, 2010, Providence Journal by Sheila Dormody and John Flaherty, co-chairs of the Coalition for Transportation Choices. Took the bus to the 2pm meeting at URI today. The interesting point was RIPTA has NO plan, Its like a going out of business sale. Their customers had all the ideas to save the company. Mark F. did say, ‘More people should drive hummers so RIPTA could get more gas tax,” His idea of a joke. So it all get dumped in the next Governors lap and they can kick the can down the road till its all over! 21st century thinking. There is some good news. The Federal Transit Administration awarded RIPTA $700,000 to create new bus hubs around the city. That is part of the plan that the agency has.

. "He's a very clever coach," Scotland fly-half Greig." - Comment number 137.tailskidder 21st December 2012 - 11:30 Another shot in the arm for independance Comment number 136.JDandfries 21st December 2012 - 10:40 I suppose it is similar to giving lancaster the England job then? Comment number 135.Blub66 21st December 2012 - 9:26 The problem that Scotland have is that it is not a top job for a top coach. It is a very attractive job for someone heading toward the top, though not without its risk. Top coaches look at the player pool and find it very thin (even compared to Ireland and Wales), yet the expectations are equal to those. 2 teams to choose from with others scattered about England and France. Its tough. Comment number 134.Midas_child 21st December 2012 - 9:21 It's short term and he has a pretty favourable set of fixtures to try and get some results in Eng first but then 3 home games on the bounce. An acceptable target would be 2 wins if he can manage that then he put himself in the frame for it full time but other wise the search should continue. What will be interesting is the first squad announcement. How many differences will we see AR & SJ picks Comment number 133.Michael Watson 21st December 2012 - 8:34 Morning rugby fans! May I just say to those of you who like to post messages that get confused between Scottish rugby and Scottish nationalism please, for pity's sake, give it a rest. I love rugby. Let's keep Scottish Independence out of it. Those who get the two mixed up are grossly misrepresenting a majority of rugby fans who just enjoy the game which is just that, a game. Why the insults? Comment number 132.ManBearPig 21st December 2012 - 8:09 here goes another trip down the toilet. why is it wales and eire pick great coaches and we get fudged choices? even AR - had an awful international record with england and a poor reputation as a selector. Comment number 131.workhousemark 21st December 2012 - 8:02 Good luck to you. Apart from one decent season with Wales as a support coach he has underachieved everywhere he's been. Comment number 130.FistOfTheNorthStar 21st December 2012 - 7:57 @Erchie You're making out like wins over the ABs come round every season. They don't. And no one else came close to beating them during this Autumn Series. @JDandFries Did you check on how many times any of the other home nations beat the ABs in the last 10 years. I bet England have done it more than the other British & Irish teams. Comment number 129.Willie Bruce 21st December 2012 - 3:01 I am not sure where the SRU is going with this hire. Once the 6N is over there are but two years to the world cup. Is this the coach that the SRU wants to lead the national team in an event as large as the RWC? I hope he has an open mind and is willing to look at some young blood. We shall see. Comment number 128.BertramAhern 20th December 2012 - 23:00 Eddie O'Sullivan is the man for ye..coached at .multiple World Cups, has won several Triple Crowns...coached 2 different international teams Comment number 127.bowtow 20th December 2012 - 22:10 Such a disappointing appointment, but not an unexpected one, by the SRU. The SRU chose pragmatism over vision! Comment number 126.Andrew 20th December 2012 - 20:40 I read the headline and thought MARTIN Johnson - Really!! Comment number 125.RhinoITS 20th December 2012 - 19:56 GET BEHIND THE TEAM! Stop England bashing, it's pathetic and pointless. They had a great result (one we'd be well proud of). Lets just beat them in the 6Ns and be done with it Comment number 124.Gdog 20th December 2012 - 19:51 Best appointment in short time scale (lineen aside). As a Scottish fan, I do think our future success is more dependent upon the sru rather than the next mangerial appointment. Comment number 123.LandOfHopeAndGlory 20th December 2012 - 19:45 Poor appointment but he's cheap. He looks well gutted he got the!

How Does the Provision of Clear Aligner Therapy Affect Patients with Breathing Disorders? Payam Ataii, DMD, MBA | Sam Lee, DDS, MS | Thomas Shipley, DMD, MS Payam Ataii, DMD, MBA, maintains a private practice in Laguna Hills, California, travels around the country lecturing on his research, and trains doctors both nationally and internationally. Sam Lee, DDS, MS, maintains a private practice in Irvine, California, and is is a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics and a part-time clinical assistant professor in the Graduate Orthodontic Department at the University of Southern California. Thomas Shipley, DMD, MS, is a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics and maintains a private practice in Peoria, Arizona. Payam Ataii, DMD, MBA: I have found that clear aligners can be both beneficial and injurious to patients who suffer from sleep-disordered breathing. The potential for injury arises when patients are provided with anterior correction without regard for possible airway deficiencies. I have noted situations in which clinicians accept therapy recommendations from the clear aligner manufacturer that include excessive interproximal reduction. For patients with breathing disorders, this can result in their airway becoming further compromised. In contrast, to improve patient outcomes, my practice employs the use of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) technology to identify the areas of the patient's airway that that might be the most compromised. A proper airway and craniofacial evaluation helps me determine the best treatment option for the patient. In many cases, the clear aligner therapy alone allows me sufficient opportunity to increase the oral cavity space, which in turn, may assist patients who are suffering from a velopharyngeal deficiency. For patients who present to the practice with primarily oropharyngeal deficiencies, I typically use an appliance (Aligner Sleep Appliance®, Sleep Architects Inc.) concurrently with clear aligner therapy. This allows me to address the orthodontic deficiencies while maintaining the patency of the patient's airway at night. However, I didn't always handle clear aligner cases with airway management in mind. In fact, back in the early 2000s, I didn't fully understand the entire craniofacial complex and its impact on the airway, or more directly, how malocclusions may be a physical representation of a compromised airway. Gradually, after ongoing continuing education in the subject matter, my mind finally was able to fully grasp the complex ways in which these systems are intimately connected. Given that I have treated thousands of clear aligner cases throughout the years, it was important for me to understand how this newly found information would allow me to help my patients beyond just giving them a beautiful smile. Through extensive communication with my patients, I discovered how these clear trays could used to improve the condition of the airway, ultimately enabling them to breathe better. It is imperative for clinicians to improve their understanding in this area in order to avoid creating improper treatment plans that could cause patients with possible airway deficiencies to worsen their condition. Sam Lee, DDS, MS: At my practice, I have noted the benefits of clear aligner therapy in treating and/or finishing patients who have presented to the practice not only to correct their malocclusion, but also specifically to treat their accompanying breathing disorders. In certain cases, the space created by aligner therapy to address minor tooth crowding is also useful in allowing more room for the tongue. In turn, I feel that this increase in the intraoral cavity space helps patients breathe better. Although there are a number of articles published in the scientific literature documenting improvements to the upper airway when intraoral cavity space is increased, such as with rapid maxillary expansion in children, not many articles have been published to confirm my findings at the office regarding the performance of minor tooth correction on adult patients who also present to the practice with airway deficiencies. However, in applying similar principles to those used in treating children when making orthodontic correction in adults and noting their airway improvements, I have found that these concepts regarding clear aligners apply to the treatment of adults as well. It should be noted that to properly treat patients with breathing disorders, we must understand the condition of the entire upper airway. Focusing, for instance, on only addressing oropharyngeal deficiencies by correcting minor mandibular tooth crowding could result in no major improvement, or any improvement, if the patient's primary point of restriction is related to the nasal cavity. So, although I have achieved great airway improvements by correcting malocclusions with clear aligners, that has not always been the case because initially, I was not considering the entire upper airway in my treatment protocol. Thomas Shipley, DMD, MS: My practice treats patients who suffer from sleep-related breathing disorders. I find that using clear trays is beneficial for these patients because I can often address their malocclusions while avoiding retractive techniques that would otherwise be contraindicated for patients with breathing disorders. For example, when treating patients with sleep-disordered breathing, I avoid interproximal reduction as much as possible because the last thing that I want to do is compromise the patient's airway. By ensuring that my clear aligner therapy corrects the malocclusion without the need for major retractive techniques, my patients generally enjoy a simultaneous improvement to their breathing disorders. Treating patients' sleep-disordered breathing, however, is much more complicated than simply correcting malocclusions and/or moving mandibles forward. Patients with breathing disorders should be evaluated through various methodologies so that clinicians can collect enough "clues" to allow them to determine the specific cause or causes at the root of the problem. In many cases, the tongue may be the primary contributing factor. This is particularly relevant for patients who present to the practice with an inability to naturally rest their tongue at the roof of the mouth. The presence of narrow arches, mouth breathing, and any other dentofacial comorbidities should be identified prior to selecting the best course of treatment for patients with breathing disorders, because introducing clear aligner trays may further prevent the tongue from properly resting if these other conditions are not considered during your treatment planning. If all of these concerns are not addressed during diagnosis and treatment planning, using clear aligner therapy for patients who suffer from breathing disorders has the potential to improve or worsen their condition. The difference between benefit or detriment depends heavily on properly evaluating the patient and designing the most appropriate treatment option.

Drone technology has the power to transform commercial development. These little aircrafts can do everything from collecting data and mapping job sites to deliver real-time information. According to Insider Intelligence, construction is one of the top growth industries for drone adoption, and it is predicted to become a $28.3 billion market. Here are the top five ways drones are revolutionizing commercial development, all with only a 15-minute flight. Site Inspection Using high-performance cameras and mapping technology, drones can give developers a detailed visualization of a construction site. During the pandemic, virtual site visits with drones became a standard for developers to continue normal operations while complying with social distancing guidelines, but the technology has far more significant applications. Drones can provide 2D and 3D imaging, create aerial maps, take measurements and give context to the project within the surrounding community. The result often offers developers a better impression of a land site than an in-person visit, even when business travel makes a comeback. Pre-construction Planning Drones can do more than give developers a better visual of a construction site. They can analyze the topography and soil type of a land site, eliminating the need for land surveyors. Drones can also deliver crucial data about land quality to help prepare a construction project for ground breaking. The data can pinpoint the presence of floodplains and site drainage, changes in elevation and areas with limited or no accessibility. Contractors can use this information to better strategize ground breaking and materials storage. Drones can also provide insight into utility locations and provide utility mapping for future use. Architecture and Design Planning Leveraging the topography reports from the pre-planning phases, architects can design buildings tailored to the land site. The technology can be paired with BIM software to create 3D development models that architects can overlay on the job site. This function gives the developer, contractor and other property stakeholders better context and facilitates a more collaborative design process that can ultimately curb complications once construction begins. It’s a game-changer for architecture and design. Real Time Construction Progress The construction industry is notorious for running behind schedule. Drones can track construction progress through targeted site visits that deliver real-time updates to developers to confirm that the project is hitting construction benchmarks and milestones. Developers can follow the process—which lasts years in the commercial industry—without ever stepping foot on the job site. Likewise, contractors can monitor materials deliveries and worker progress to ensure the project stays on course. Expansion Opportunities Using drone aerial coverage, developers can stay apprised of available adjacent land sites, new access points to the property or changes in surrounding communities. The technology is especially valuable on redevelopment projects or for existing owners of dated properties that want to upgrade. Real estate users are also finding value in using drones to scout new locations for expansion, view build-to-suit opportunities or manage tenant-build-outs. Construction inefficiency is a major problem in commercial real estate, but technology is helping to streamline the process and save developers and project managers time and money. Drones are a great example of how technology is revolutionizing the industry, and data and analytics software, like Northspyre, is another. Northspyre is looking to save companies like yours money on each project due to added efficiencies and data tracking. Developers are finding power—and profits—by investing in new technology.

Joint pain and irritation can interfere with your daily life, so we have compiled our top tips from ORTHOKnox orthopedic clinics in Knoxville and Athens, TN, to improve your joint health below. These include exercise dos and don’ts, advice on what to eat and why, and the benefits of weight loss, quitting smoking, and seeking help when you need it. ORTHOKnox has orthopedic clinics in Knoxville, TN, and Athens, TN, to help you with your joint pain, but we hope these joint health tips can keep you active and pain-free! Top Tips To Improve Your Joint Health: Exercise Dos - Keep moving! Low impact exercises such as swimming, golf, walking, and cycling can help you maintain a healthy weight and ease joint pain. - Strength training is great for helping the muscles surrounding your joints to take on and handle the stress of movements or lifting. This keeps the strain off your joints. - Focus on your core. A strong core helps you maintain balance, have proper posture, and avoid joint injuries from falls. - Dynamic stretching after warming up can help prepare your muscles and joints for exercise. - A physical therapist can teach you how to perform exercises that maximize how far a joint can move in different directions. Improve your flexibility, relieve stiffness and pain, and improve or maintain joint function by doing a range of motion exercises. Exercise Don’ts - Don’t avoid exercising because you are afraid of joint pain or damage. Exercising actually eases joint stiffness and reduces pain. - Don’t skimp on your gear or padding, even at practice. Wearing proper-fitting shoes and padding can help you prevent injury on the field. - Don’t push through the pain. While it is great to exercise and some soreness and muscle aches can be expected, sharp or prolonged pain should not be ignored. Avoid the activity that is causing you pain and see your doctor. - Don’t overdo it! Rest often and include breaks and enough rest time between exercises. Don’t Eat - Foods that can increase inflammation. These include high-fructose corn syrup (soft drinks), processed meats, alcohol, fried foods (looking at you French fries), and white bread. Go easy on these foods to decrease inflammation (redness and warmth) in your joints, which can be irritating. Do Eat Yay, tell me what I should eat! The Mediterranean diet is highly recommended because it focuses on plant-based foods and avoiding the foods listed above in the “Don’t Eat” section. Specific foods to focus on to improve your joint health include: - Fish has anti-inflammatory properties and omega-3 fatty acids! - Lean proteins - Other anti-inflammatory foods: tomatoes, olive oil, green vegetables, berries, and nuts - Foods high in calcium: help to maintain bone density and decrease fracture risk - Foods with vitamin D: help absorb calcium. (You can also get vitamin D from the sun but only stay out about 15 minutes without sunscreen). Watch Your Weight Maintaining a healthy weight by exercising and eating nutritiously and in proper portions can prevent adding extra stress on your joints. Every extra pound of weight puts about 4 pounds of pressure on your knees! Weight loss can reduce knee pain and stiffness. Stop Smoking Smoking increases your risk of osteoporosis because it reduces your bone mass. It also increases your risk of fractures and injuries from tendonitis and bursitis. Pain Relief and Getting Treatment Use the RICE method (rest, ice, compression, and elevation) if you are experiencing joint pain. If your pain persists, contact your doctor. Don’t wait and risk increasing an injury.

QUAN YIN: HAVE MERCY AND COMPASSION FOR YOUR SWEET SELVES Pace yourselves, and listen to your hearts when they suggest that you need to just sit for a while and let everything just be. Channeled by Genoveva Coyle. Good morning dearest ones! I AM Quan Yin, Goddess of love and compassion, your family, your sister in heart and soul. I come today to remind you to have mercy and compassion for your sweet selves, for the paths that you have taken can be very difficult, heartbreaking, and quite overwhelming at times. Yes, pace yourselves, and listen to your hearts when they suggest that you need to just sit for a while and let everything just be. You are stalwart and determined to follow your path of light and fulfill your missions of love. And this is beautiful! And I do admire and love you more than you can comprehend at this time. But dear hearts, you are also going very deep into the darkness and bringing back into the light very heavy energies that need to be neutralized and transmuted. You are also recovering parts and aspects of yourselves that need lots of tender and loving care, constant attention, reassurance, healing, and proper integration into your lovely multidimensional beings. That can’t be done in a rushed and superficial manner, for those parts of thee just need to trust and feel you truly understand what they brought back to you…yes, wisdom, but also some warts. And the warts, the negative and dense parts of them, have to be embraced as they are, without judgment, and healed first. Only then can their true wisdom be released and become fully available to you. Think of the beautiful pearls that are buried and lie down in the deepest and darkest parts of the oceans, yes, in the immensity of Mother’s ocean. And to recover them you need to dive in, search, find them, and then bring them to the surface. Then they must undergo a process of cleaning and gentle polishing to bring them back so that they disclose the radiance of their unique love and beauty while uncovering their perfection. You use them as gems of beauty and strength and place them onto your bodies to enhance them, to complete your beauty. But my dear ones, this is not who you are! For you are the magnificent beings wearing these pieces of wisdom that have been gathered through the experiences of suffering while they were withstanding the immense pressure of the water, emotions, and feelings of suffering, pain, and isolation, and you have survived. Beloved ones, have compassion for yourselves and allow the healing and integration to be gentle and natural. Do not try to force the process, but invite us to assist thee as much as we are allowed to do so. Call on me when you feel that there are parts of thee that need more unconditional love and forgiveness. Allow me to sit with you and to show you the reasons and the entire truth of why you have made the choice to dive into the negative experiences of life in duality. It is and it was all for love. Love yourselves, love every part of yourselves with the intensity that the Mother and I love you. You are worthy and you are loved! I will leave you now with my love and with my deepest compassion. Farewell. By Permission. © 2019 Council of Love, Inc.

Has there ever been a time when you liked a book so much that you ended up feeling like a close friend of the writer? When that narrative is light and engages you quickly, the plot is rich and full of detail, the characters are complete and loving. Yeah, you can’t help but be fond of it when you find a great novel writer. The desire is to go out and buy all the published books and send a message asking to publish the next one soon, isn’t it? In this atmosphere, the blog couldn’t be without a list of great writers to remind us and maybe get to know some more of their work as novelists. Top 5 Novel Writers Jane Austen There’s no way to talk about romance without talking about Jane Austen’s classics. At a time when women didn’t usually have a formal education, the writer stood out for her innovative way of creating characters and talking about class and gender differences. Going against the adventure and exploration books that were successful at the time, she chose to create stories with family intrigues in the rural world, with a certain irony and psychological plots. Today she is considered, after many prejudices, the first modern novelist in English literature. Between the ages of 11 and 17, Austen wrote several novels and short stories about everyday life in the English countryside. Among the writer’s greatest successes are: - Reason and sensibility - Pride and Prejudice - Persuasion Nicholas Sparks Just by reading this name, we already know how the story ends, right? Nicholas is known for having beautiful stories, full of tears and sad endings with the death of a character, but that doesn’t take away the charm that the unfolding of his stories has. Anyone who is a fan of the writer knows very well what I’m talking about haha. And it’s no wonder that he has several hits under his belt and a good part of them has already been adapted for cinema. In the list of the best novels Nicholas wrote, we have: - Diary of a passion - Stormy nights - A love to remember - Dear John Jojo Moyes Jojo worked as a journalist for ten years and became a professional writer in 2002 with the publication of her first book, Em Busca de Abrigo. After that, it was one success after another. She wrote thirteen more books, all very well received by critics and readers. Not to mention the beautiful film adaptation of How I Was Before You, with none other than Sam Claflin and Emilia Clarke! Of course, the script for the movie was written by Jojo Moyes herself. The writer’s other successes are: - The Girl You Left Behind - After you - One plus one John Green Green spent five months working as an intern chaplain at a pediatric hospital and it was this experience that inspired him to write, a few years later, The Fault in the Stars. For the truth of his stories for young adults, John Green has even been nominated for some awards, and all of his books have become famous and topped the bestseller lists. In addition, the writer also has a YouTube channel along with his brother. His other successes are: - Paper cities - The Katherine Theorem - turtles up there down - Who are you, Alasca? Julia Quinn When younger, Julia Quinn was just like us: she didn’t go to sleep without finishing the chapter in the book she was reading. And when she was caught reading a copy that her father didn’t approve of, she managed to prove that it was all a study for her own book, finished 3 years later and rejected. Despite this, she didn’t give up, and when 3 of her books were published, she dropped out of medical school and decided to devote herself completely to writing. Today she is a reference in period romance books and has a curriculum full of love and intelligent humor. Some of them are: - The Duke and Me (The Bridgertons #1) - Simply Paradise (Smythe-Smith Quartet #1) - More beautiful than the moon

The destruction wrought by our political and financial elites could take another 10 years to undo. Last week the American Conservative ran an article about how tough it was now for the upper middle clasess. Their wages may be okay, but their jobs were harder than ever and their bills were increasing, so much so, that after for paying for everything they didn't have much spare cash for an emergency. This week in the American Conservative it's now the younger middle class that are complaining. The 2008 meltdown shattered their dreams, they say, all the hard work they have put in, their privileged upbringing, their excellent qualifications, their high expectations, all in ruins. They blame everything on the "greedy" elites, and they are right. It's so good to see the upper middle classes and the middle classes complaining like this, because this means there's a chance of the left and right working together to change the situation. Conservatives traditionally nearly always followed the establishment, but now they are getting fed up with it. Thatcher and Reagan said there was going to be a free market revolution, and I guess millions of people voted Conservative thinking they would become better off, but the opposite has happened. We in the left warned them, but they wouldn't listen. KV. Thatcher and Reagan said there was going to be a free market revolution, and I guess millions of people voted Conservative thinking they would become better off, but the opposite has happened.

New ANSIRH studies find no evidence of "post-abortion trauma syndrome" New Turnaway Study publications find no evidence of widespread “post-abortion trauma syndrome,” often cited by abortion opponents as a harmful mental health consequence of abortion. View the infographic. "Decision Rightness and Emotional Responses to Abortion in the United States: a Longitudinal Study" was e-published on July 8, 2015 in the journal PLOS ONE. The publication is free to download. Summary: In this study, the authors found that, when women who had abortions were asked if they thought having an abortion was the right decision for them, 95% said it was. This was true both immediately after the abortion and over 3 years later. For women who had abortions, positive emotions, including relief and happiness, outweighed negative emotions. The study asked women about four negative emotions – regret, sadness, anger and guilt. There were no significant differences in women’s emotions about the abortion, or in their belief that abortion was the right decision, between women having abortions in the first trimester and those having later abortions. This finding challenges the common assumption that later abortion is more emotionally difficult. Further, the intensity of all emotions decreased for both groups of women as they stopped thinking about the abortion over time. "A comparison of depression and anxiety symptom trajectories between women who had an abortion and women denied one" was published in the July issue of the journal Psychological Medicine. Read the full publication (requires subscription). Summary: The study found that anxiety is elevated among women who have been denied an abortion and are still trying to end their pregnancy. But over time, both women who have abortions and women who carry unwanted pregnancies to term have similar, and decreasing, rates of anxiety and depression. There do not appear to be mental health problems caused by abortion.

In case you missed the Redskins/Saints game on Sunday afternoon—and haven't been tuned into ESPN for more than five minutes since then—here's all you need to know about the game: Robert Griffin III was outstanding. Seriously. The guy looked like he'd been playing in the league for years. So, you'd think that the NFL would be thrilled with him right now. But, as it turns out, they're not. You see, prior to the game on Sunday, RG3 was warming up in New Orleans with a 'Skins shirt on that featured the Nike logo prominently. Well, at least it was supposed to feature it prominently. But, RG3 is an Adidas guy these days. So, he went out of his way to obscure the "Swoosh" by blacking it out with a Sharpie and turning it into the letter H to help spell out the word "HEART." That, of course, is a no-no, though, as Nike is now the official uniform provider of the NFL. So, the league's spokesman Brian McCarthy had something to say about RG3's actions yesterday. "It won't happen again," he said. Yikes. RG3 wasn't fined for the stunt. But, you can fully expect him to be Nike'd out when the 'Skins take the field against the St. Louis Rams on Sunday. We've gotta give him props for the good effort, though. Nice try, rookie. RELATED: Robert Griffin III On Point In Jon Gruden's Camp

I've come to dislike the word “reflection”. You can put the blame on Castro and his decrepit constant misuse of it – but that’s not important right now. After all the rumors and online buzz about the talks between the Cuban government and the Catholic Church to release the political prisoners, a reflection is a must. I’d like to start stating that I am immensely happy for the (so far unconfirmed in its details) news that sick Cuban political prisoners will be transferred to jails located in their home provinces. That will be a huge relief for their families. Unofficial reports stated that by today, 15-18 sick prisoners would be transferred... There are a lot of people who deserve credit for this news. (Sorry, personally I think the Catholic hierarchy and the government thugs are NONE of them). The Ladies in White, Guillermo Fariñas and Orlando Zapata Tamayo – who paid the ultimate price giving his life for his position – are the first ones that come to mind. All of them who fought, and still fight, against the windmills deserve credit. Together, they’ve worked put Castro’s communist dictatorship on the spot, to destroy their fake PR-ready image that communist Cuba is a paradise. They have had to – at least indirectly – acknowledge the regime have political prisoners. Their useless kabuki theater is falling apart... I hate to break up the celebrations but, please, make no mistake: this does not change an iota the fact that in Cuba, there is no freedom to dissent. Daring to think different is still criminalized by the Castro’s government. The unjust reasons why these men were jailed in the first place are still intact. A full and complete celebration and honoring of Orlando Zapata Tamayo’s (and so many others’) death will take place only when freedom of speech, and freedom to dissent, returns to the streets of the island. While there is intolerance and repression towards those who think differently, I can’t help to see this as just another move of smoke and mirrors. “But at least is some sort of relief for the prisoners and its families!” some will tell me. Yes. That it is true. But it is not over yet. Unless all political prisoners are released, there are free elections and freedom to politically organize outside the government’s line, and freedom to dissent so Cubans don’t have to be imprisoned for daring to talk and think different, acts like this won’t be nothing beyond a valve for the regimen to release some of the steam that has been building up in Cuba for quite a few years now. Almost fifteen years have past since the last rafter’s crisis – it’s an open secret that it is the regimen preferred method to release the steam that their failed society keeps building up. (It seems that, for now, they are not considering showering Obama with another “gift”, although I wouldn’t take for granted it). As of Monday afternoon, via Penultimos Dias (Spanish), I learned that there are no official reports of the transfers yet and Europa Press is reporting that the Cuban government keep pushing the Ladies in White to split from their group of "support ladies" [Cuban women dress in white that accompany them in their Sunday's marches] in exchange of benefits for their jailed relatives. I don't know in Europe, but in plain cubano, that is called chantaje (blackmail). On the other hand, sources from the Catholic Church in Cuba are saying they have "never talked about an specific timeframe" for this measures... For me, this move only means a patch of low-dose Tylenol for a patient with a terminal brain cancer. Nothing will really change until you completely remove the sucker from the victim’s head. And if you aim to save his life, you better do it stat!

Are you interested in going to college? Is it time to focus on bettering yourself? College is probably the right answer for you. Continue reading to learn what you can do to make for a better future for yourself. Do it for yourself and your family. If you are having trouble figuring out strategies for academic success, see if your college has a study skills course. Students that do well in high school might be surprised by the work they are given in college. Improving your study skills can enable you to succeed in your classes and reach all of your goals. Before you leave for college, make a checklist of everything you will need. You should make sure you have everything you need so you do not have to continually ask your parents to help. This is true especially if you are not close to home. Eat healthy. Many people gain a few pounds their first semester of college. You have to watch what you eat. Avoid eating lots of convenient but unhealthy foods, such as pizza or burgers. Not only is it expensive, those extra pounds can be hard to lose. Educate yourself about the career of your choice before you choose a college. This will make sure that you will select the college that has the program courses in your field of interest. Speak to admissions to find out if they can help you get the education you require. Set aside enough time to study your course materials on a daily basis. The effort you put in your college career will reward you later in life. You have to look at college as a job that you go to everyday. Succeeding in college paves the way to a more lucrative career. The surrounding environment is critical in determining your propensity to study effectively. As far as locations go, a dorm room probably won’t be your best bet. Find a quiet area, like the library, to do your work. Usually, the best choice is the library. If you do not have any other choice, buy some noise-canceling headphones. Get a map of the college campus and find and visit the important places on campus. You can find out about scholarships that are available. Most colleges have scholarships available. By checking out your school’s admissions office you can find out what exactly is available to you. Participating in clubs and other activities may be beneficial. Also, activities can help to bolster you resume for future work. Don’t overwhelm your schedule, though. If you are preparing for an exam, always eat a healthy breakfast. Even small servings of fruit or yogurt is better than nothing. Hunger pangs are devastating to your test performance. Your low energy can substantially influence your performance. Eat breakfast to stay focused and energized. You should keep an eye on carbs and sugar intake so you do not gain the dreaded freshman fifteen. Stay away from processed foods and snacks that are high in sugar content. Instead, opt for fresh fruits and crisp vegetables as great snack alternatives. Try to avoid late-night pizza binges that can derail your healthy diet. Take the bus to school. It might not take longer using the bus. Not having to search for a parking spot is also a great time saver. You can also save gas money. This is also a good way to do something for the planet. You should always purchase used books! College books cost quite a bit, and cost even more brand new. Saving some money on textbooks is a great way to pinch pennies during your financially-strapped college years. There is no one to wash your clothes and feed you anymore. Some indulgences are okay, but still maintain a nutritious diet, get proper sleep, and take care of yourself and your possessions. Try to make a schedule that includes classes, study, recreation and caring for yourself properly. Feeling stressed and eating unhealthy foods will make you feel sick. Make an internship part of your college career. This lets you see your potential career from the inside out. If you play your cards right, you might even get a job offer out of it. All schools have an internship program, so take advantage of it. Buy textbooks used. The textbooks you need to buy can be very costly. If your college already costs a lot, then it’s likely that you are needing to save as much money as possible. Look for bookstores and online retailers that offer used text books. Purchasing used textbooks can save you a bundle of cash. If you’re looking for a job to help you get through school, visit the career office at your college. They can help you find a job when you are done with school and they can also find you a job on or off campus. Go for classes that make you think, rather than easy grade classes. It can rewarding to push yourself. You learn a ton, plus you can meet like-minded students to network with throughout your career. Don’t rely on exploring various electives to help you choose a major. Do more on campus. There are many clubs on campus that are always looking for new members. There is always something going on everyday for students. Try new things around campus as often as you can, without it affecting your grades of course. Know the campus security phone number. This ensures you can get help if you need it. You might never need to call campus security, but you will be glad you memorized the number if you ever need help. Never turn in the first draft of a paper you’ve written. Always revise your first draft and make improvements. Writing second drafts of your papers is a great way to improve quality. Edit that a few times, too. This allows you to write to your full potential. Spend time at the campus library. You will find a great deal of resources available that will support your success. Get to know the librarian, she will be able to direct you toward the necessary study materials to successfully complete the necessary coursework. Libraries can also prove useful in saving you money on required reading. Right before going to bed read through your class notes. Your brain will process that information even as you sleep. Your brain will sort out all of the information far more elegantly than you could do during your waking hours. Take short breaks regularly. Although your study time is sacred, frequent breaks can help you remain focused and dedicated to your work. For each hour you devote to your studies, you should take a 15 minute break to refresh your brain. Make a schedule and stick with it. Consider whether you should attend a community college for the courses you need to complete as a freshman and sophomore. Community colleges are a less expensive option for completing your core classes. Once you have completed the necessary transfer units, you can transfer to a university to finish your degree. If 4-year schools are too pricey, this makes a lot of sense. Don’t rely on your electives as your only means of finding a major you love. Get yourself involved around campus. There are clubs and work study jobs that might be of interest to you. There are a lot of things for you to get into every week. You should try some new things, you might find a new hobby or passion. Wake up and go to bed at the same time every day. You’re going to be busy with work, school, studying and other activities, and you could easily forget to sleep. Sleep helps you to focus and restores energy needed for the day ahead. Don’t copy the works of others. College is a time of writing paper after paper. Make sure you know how to cite your references and avoid accidental plagiarism. Professors are sure to check your work, so make sure it is your own work. If you plan to live on campus in a dorm room, pack only what you need. You will find that you have very little space for your stuff in a dorm room. Write out a basic list of necessities and then shop strictly within it. There are many clever storage containers and compact multipurpose dorm room items. Avoid handing in the first draft of your paper. Allow yourself time to make revisions. You should read through it and write it over again. Once you’ve written the second draft, proofread it and make corrections as you see fit. This will ensure that no errors have been overlooked and that the quality of the writing is high.. If you work and are interested in going back to school, you may want to think about taking classes online. Online-only colleges are a great idea for students with strange schedules or who must work or otherwise cannot get to a physical class. An online university allows you to complete coursework when, where and how it works best for you. If you have children, you might think your chances of living on campus are practically nil. It may not be. A lot of college campuses offer housing for families. They know that not every student is fresh out of high school. Find out family housing as quickly as possible though, since spaces fill up fast. You may want to develop a set sleep schedule when you are in college. You’re going to be busy with work, school, studying and other activities, and you could easily forget to sleep. Sleep deprivation will make it difficult to focus on the important things, like your studies. Going on a study abroad program is possible even if you have children. Just because you are a parent doesn’t disqualify you from the incredible chance to study abroad. It’s worth checking in with the coordinator of study abroad programs at your college. Although some programs aren’t meant for students with children, others can be very accommodating. Take only the essentials if you are going to live in the dormitory. There is not a lot of square feet in dorm rooms, so do not bring unnecessary items. When shopping for items for your room, make a good list and follow it closely. Utilize the best storage containers and space-conserving designs. Get creative on date night. Demonstrate your resourcefulness by cooking up a dinner yourself instead of splurging on a restaurant meal. This is not only the more impressive option, but the cheaper one as well. Make arrangements with your roommate. If they agree to make themselves scarce during your date, you will do the same for them. Are you interested in playing sports in college? Contact the coach of the college that you wish to attend. It is common for coaches to be unaware of many promising athletes, and therefore it makes sense to let them know of your interest. This might even help you get a scholarship. Hold off on joining student government until you are a sophomore. No one in the SGA, or the whole campus for that matter, will listen to anything freshmen have to say. It is also useful to spend your first year developing positions and opinions on campus matters. Socialize with a couple of students in every class you have. Even though you might feel uncomfortable approaching strangers, it will be to your advantage. Being on speaking terms with classmates will make it easier to get information should you miss a class. You might even become study buddies. This article had great information for people going back to school, so do you feel a bit more at east now? You’re not the only one. Many people struggle with making college decisions. It’s nothing to be scared of. A little dedication and hard work will result in your educational success. Do not join the campus student government association until you are a sophomore. Such associations are not only very time-consuming, they very rarely accept freshmen as equals. You can also use that year to come up with your angle or know which positions would fit you well (or just be easy to win).

Newport Legacy wealth management Zurich Switzerland thanks the author of this article. Newport Legacy agree to this article. China is the leading maker of personal computers and smartphones globally, but it continues to rely heavily on imported components from the US and the rest of the world. Photo: EPA While the meagre 0.1 per cent rise in exports in the first six months of 2019 was bad news for China, it was even worse for many of its trading partners, with a flat performance by the world’s second large economy causing ripples through the tightly integrated supply chains created by globalisation. A decline in Chinese exports automatically dampens its demand for imports of components used in finished exports and that, in turn, hurts every other economy that sells to China.The biggest drop in first half exports was to the United States, with which China has been fighting a trade war for the past year. Exports to the US contracted by 8.1 per cent, a sharp reversal from the 13.5 per cent rise during the first half of 2018, according to the China’s General Administration of Customs. But the decline in exports paled in comparison to the near 30 per cent drop in Chinese imports from the US, which range from raw materials to agriculture products, aircraft and semiconductors. The contraction was not only another indication of declining demand for American products, but more tellingly, a sign of weaker consumption worldwide. Processing imports, where part of the production process is contracted out to a firm in a different country, are sinking as the trade war takes a toll on the global economy, with economists even warning of a recession if tensions escalate. China’s overall imports slid 4.3 per cent in first half of 2019, compared with a 19.9 per cent rise a year earlier. Raymond Yeung, ANZ’s chief economist for Greater China, pointed out that supply chains are so intricately interwoven that it was no longer a zero-sum game where one market’s decline was another economy’s gain.SUBSCRIBE TO SCMP TODAY: INTL EDITIONGet updates direct to your inboxSUBMITBy registering for these newsletters you agree to our T&C and Privacy Policy “When exports for one market drop, those for others also fall,” Yeung said. For that reason, China’s first half exports to the European Union may have climbed 6 per cent, or US$11.12 billion, while those to the 10-nation Asean group increased 7.9 per cent, or US$11.84 billion. But both growth rates were well below the level in the first six months of 2018 after exports to the European Union grew 11 per cent, while those to Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) states rose 16 per cent during the same period.

Vlogger Tackles Mom Guilt In Hilarious Viral Video With the demands of work, life, and family, mom (and dad) guilt is a real thing from time to time. When Melissa Radke a writer and public speaker who posts funny parenting videos to her page felt that twinge of guilt, she let her kids, Remi, ten, and Rocco, eight, sleep in her bed. Melissa Radke Then, she filmed a video about the guilt she was feeling for various, parenting-related reasons. But because the kids were insleeping next to her, Radke couldn’t make noise and wake them up. So the Texas mom enlisted the help of markers and paper, making signs used to tell her story as she sat next to them in bed. Here are just a few of the reasons she’s feeling the “guilt.” Load Comments Read more:

Nationally Fragmented Supervision over Multinational Banks as a Source of Global Systemic Risk Nationally Fragmented Supervision over Multinational Banks as a Source of Global Systemic Risk A Critical Analysis of Recent EU Reforms This chapter gives a critical analysis of recent EU reforms and describes the possible global risks of nationally fragmented supervision over multinational banks. It shows the limits of supervisory cooperation over multinational banking groups and explains the reasons for centralising supervision and crisis management. It assesses the newly established European supervisory framework for cross-border supervision and crisis management; and the agency costs of delegation and those of cooperation and coordination. It argues that similar mechanisms may prove to be ineffective in crisis situations and that crisis management is still fragmented along national borders. In addition, it proposes European central supervision and crisis management to fill the gap of centralised supervision of multinational banks. Keywords: EU reforms, global risks, multinational banks, European supervisory framework, crisis management, centralised .

Posted on 10/12/2007 5:15:51 PM PDT by SkyPilot You all need to read this - especially in light of recent retired General's who have political ambitions who have gone to the MSM with false information. This is the most timely, in-depth and intelligent report on the actual situation vis a vis the ground situation in Iraq that you can read. Dr. Victor Davis Hanson This e-mail is being circulated at the highest levels of the Dept of Defense and Congress. If you have never really understood the situation between the Sunni and the Shiite - read this. If you want the most up to date information on why our highest ranking officers think we are on the verge of handing al Qaeda and Iran an massive defeat (and soon) read on. If you want the most intimate portrait of what is going on in country, plus his personal observations of Gen. Petraeus from actual time spent with him, read on. If you want to read about how he ridicules the academic left and contrasts them versus the professional military, read on. The account of this PhD is shaking things up - because it is true. Read the end where he gets shelled while leaving as well. Enjoy. __________________________________________________________________ Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Observations. PART II Just arrived home and here is the second of three postings on impressions of Iraq. First-Some Responses to readers' postings I hardly speak for soldiers, never professed that I did. Mine are the mere observations of an outsider, nothing more than thoughts of a military historian after a second visit to Iraq. Take them or leave them: my feeling that those in Iraq are the moral upper-crust of our society is not cheap moralizing or patronizing, but the simple truth-as hard as that is for some to accept. Most think that our military should be increased at least by the number of ground troops thought necessary in two or so years to monitor Iraq post-surge, or by about 50-70,000 Army and Marines in aggregate. We are almost doing that in planned ongoing increases. Should we withdraw permanently another 20,000 or so others from Europe and Korea, our rotations would be manageable. Our problems with Nato allies in Afghanistan, and sometimes sharp anti-American outbursts from South Koreans, should be a warning about dependency and laxity. Putin, Islamism, the Balkans, al Qaeda, Iran-all that and more should have convinced the Europeans to step up their own defense. We are all tired of European and even former commonwealth politicians lecturing Americans about how the future will be different as they go their own way-even as they expect US material and manpower support for their current defense needs. Americans would be delighted to see our allies rearm, take up the cudgels of their own defense, and start dealing with threats to Western life and civilization. No American is worried about Sarkozy's current braggadocio. It is welcomed, not lampooned. My past note about what Iraq was worth was qualified, as one reader conveniently ignored: I said a natural emotion after seeing our soldiers' sacrifices was that the entire country was not worth a life of a US trooper-not that I felt such feelings were either logical or moral, much less shared by those who must do the bleeding. US troops believe in their mission, not just because they are killing terrorists, but because that they are rebuilding a society and see tangible positive results in their humanitarian efforts, despite the costs-and that a free and secure Iraq will be critical to the region and diminish the chances of yet more global jihadist attacks. Radical Islam, for all the criticisms of the Left, is declining in popularity in the Middle East, and its agents are dying in droves, both literally and metaphorically, at the US military's hands in Iraq. Thanks for those who wrote in or posted about advice with kidney stones-e.g., magnesium, diuril, diet, flomax, lemon juice, olive oil, etc. I have had them for 30 years (one major, one minor operation) but never in serial fashion, with 10-11 in a row. They are embarrassing: without warning one can burst into sweats, vomit, bloody urine, etc. and then suddenly recover as the bb passes-embarrassing when listening to Iraqi officials explain their problems, as if they might think you are becoming flushed in disagreement rather than just in pain. I will post a third and last essay this week on Iraq. In the meantime, some further reflections after getting back home. Antibodies? The present course is a departure from the past idea that US troops were "antibodies" to Iraqi culture and that a large presence would only alienate Iraqis. The divide is still present between the Gens. Casey/Abezaid (and perhaps present Centcom command) school of steady, and uninterrupted transformation, training, and reduction in Iraq troop strength (and the notion that the Iraqis will weary of killing each other in time)-and the current counterinsurgency doctrine of intervening more directly to reassure the people that they can be safe to rebuild their country. Both schools have their advantages, but the third alternative: a massive build-up and enormous commitment of troops to smash al Qaeda and, in post-Japan-like fashion, saturate the country with troops is not in the cards. If we fail, then some will say the surge was the wrong idea and prior commanders were right in steadily reducing our presence and keeping back to safer compounds (more on the notion of compounds being "safe" in the next posting) in the process. If we succeed, then Gen. Petraeus will become our next Matthew Ridgeway. Sent to Iraq?.'. Three weeks ago I heard a formal lecture presented by Col McMaster at Hillsdale College on the history of Vietnam and then found myself being led by him in full combat gear throughout Anbar. Similarly I was talking just six months ago at the Hoover Institution with Col. Gibson about his soon-to-be published book on military command and then saw him up in Baqubah, where he is yet again back in Iraq. I learned a great deal about Iraqi topography from Major Rayburn after we coptered over the desert-no surprise, he is writing his PhD thesis on the British experience in Iraq. Camp Victory literally has dozens of PhDs-who see combat often-and MAs in everything from Arabic and Islamic studies to military history. COIN, the counterinsurgency center at Taji, under the direction of the talented Col Jan Horvath, draws in a lot of diverse thinkers, who are blunt in their assessments, good and bad, of the progress. So it is not uncommon to be in a forward operating base and meet someone who taught at the Naval Academy or West Point, or whom one has met at an academic conference, or who had written a journal article one reads, inter-splicing their stories about a recent attack with discussion of academic bibliography. One West Point professor told me so many of his former students were in Iraq, he simply asked for deployment to be among them. Again, we might also amend Kerry's much lampooned comment even further to say that the brighter one is, the more likely they seem to be in Iraq. Asking Questions One result of the Petraeus appointment seems to be a more constant reappraisal of almost everything we are doing. Officers freely speak about our prognoses, what we doing right, what wrong, some more glum than others. A few officers in Iraq were outright pessimistic and candid about the outlook, saying that the Iraqis were perfidious, hopeless, and the effort impossible. But they were in a clear minority. The point again is that they were encouraged to speak out rather than dubbed defeatist and silenced. (Try speaking out in similar fashion on campus, or even ask a Larry Summers to lecture). There is a sense that American army and marine captains to colonels were instrumental in the so-call Anbar Awakening, often forced to make critical decisions on their own and almost with no time for reflection or guidance-and often, thankfully, the right ones about enlisting Sunnis into the security services. We are using all of our 21st-century capability, money, education, and experience to fathom what is going on in the minds of millions of Iraqis-of lost pride, a ruined country, thirty-years of abject suffering-and to what degree honor, status, and pride can be channeled away from fueling insurgency to building their own country. And it is a close-run thing always. A Delicate Balance It is the task of an intellectual surgeon to prod the Iraqis to step forward, without creating either dependency or create a sense of hopeless abandonment. I don't envy those entrusted with the responsibility of trying to quell insurgency in areas the size of Colorado while rebuilding it at a current stage of, say, circa America, 1910? Few back here could pull it off. One example of the dilemma: the tribal sheiks are coming forward to offer support against al Qaeda; but they cannot ipso facto run a government or supersede provincial administration and the rule of law. So how do you encourage their quasi-vigilante efforts and self-help militias while delicately reassuring officials that these grassroots efforts will be incorporated into government? If they execute an al Qaeda murderer on the spot, they then are undermining all the careful attempts to inculcate a judicial system. So it ain't easy as they say. Al Qaeda is perverted A common theme heard from analysts and intelligence officers is the abject irreligious nature of al Qaeda. It is not quite zealotry to cut off the fingers of smokers, take 14-year old "brides", mutilate the dead, force bodies to remain unburied, and steal businesses, homes and cars. Those are verifiable incidents-in addition to the other often told rumors of the terrorists serving children up to their parents or the employment of former male prostitutes as Al Qaeda heads. We think of bin Ladenism as a perverted distortion of Islam, but on the street level it is more a cover for gasoline and food racketeering, petty theft, and murder by young criminally-minded youth.. Tea for me-or for you? American officers, of course, wear almost identical camouflage. It is very hard to detect rank; only a small black insignia sewn at the breast indicates status. There is a free flow of information at all briefings. Some of the most thoughtful, blunt analyses came from majors to full colonels. This is really a war to be won or lost by middle-echelon officers, who like Roman proconsular officials must reorganize with Iraqis provinces the size of large American states. (I note that in contrast with the university, Americ come from entirely different traditions of perks and privilege-whole suburbs of Baghdad reveal the former sumptuous digs of retired Baathist officers, replete with gardens, courtyards, and multistoried homes. Iraqi officers, colonel and above, insist on tea being delivered and a retinue of hangers-on who give constant obeisance-sort of the traditional Hellenic complaint against Easternism kowtowing. (American officers more often open a frig and offer you water themselves). That said, Iraqis are trying to adopt much of the ethos of the American office corps, and thus a constant refrain in training is the need for them to get out, risk danger, and treat their subordinates with respect. Many are doing just that-to such a degree entire units are starting to emerge that are probably better than any in the Arab Middle East. Surely one fear of Iraq's neighbors is that if this country ever gets settled down, its army will be one of the most professional and competent in the region. Who's the American? Another ubiquitous contrast.. Iranian anger The Iranians are on everyone's mind, especially in the Sunni provinces. What to do with Basra (perhaps nothing since the Iraqi-Shiite government will have to deal with its own militias to keep their own city functioning)? What to do with Iranian super-IEDs (machine-milled explosive devices, with copper plates that liquefy on detonation and, in slug form, can penetrate all of our existing armor, resulting in terribly horrific wounds (won't mention the details related)? What to do with Iranian-bound hacks in the government who are taking money and orders from Teheran? And yet the last thing American officers wish is a war with Iran, a conflict that would immediately jeopardize everything they have achieved since May. The result is sort of a desire for tougher sanctions, perhaps an embargo, to squeeze Iran enough to stop sending its agents and weapons to kill Americans, but without galvanizing the Shiites into a surrogate Iranian army. A shooting ground war with Iran, if it widened to include ground operations, really would lead to a civil war in Iraq with clearly defined sides, large armies and full-scale battle, rather than the current sectarian bloodletting-something perhaps welcomed by the theocracy in Teheran. Watch that: if our success continues, the Iranians will become desperate to stop it at any cost. Only our being "bogged down" in Iraq, so they think, stops their own rendezvous with the Americans. Define Winning! Most of the officers and their soldiers believed we could win-are winning-but most qualified that optimism: the Iraqis would have to step forward much more rapidly and competently, mostly the Ministry of Interior, dominated by Shiites. The subtext of all conversations, between Americans and mostly Sunni Iraqis, was that with the removal of the grotesque Saddam we had turned the country upside down, in typically radical American fashion. The once despised Shiites, many having no education or experience outside of Iraq, were now running the country, while the 2 million who used to manage things were exiles: a sort of justice, but one that immediately posed a myriad of problems. So we are asking from the Shiites instant experience, learning, skill, magnanimity, and forgetfulness of past abuse to take up government, include the Sunnis, and let Anbar and Diyala have their fair share of revenues-and to do all that while stopping the influx of Iranian weapons. If that should happen,. They can and do all the time. It is the creation of a stable state that enjoys something of the calm of a Gulf monarchy-but without the monarchial authoritarianism or the Sharia law of Saudi Arabia. In other words, they hope for something like a Kurdistan or Turkey, and believe the oil and agricultural wealth of Iraq, and its past experience with secular traditions, might make that possible. Further, many of the most thoughtful majors and colonels defined the cost/benefit analysis not in terms of Iraq per se, but in view of the entire region where a stable Iraq would pressure Iran, and stop being a quarter-century long nexus of terror and trouble for others. (Speaking of officers below the rank of general-we may see soon a revolution similar to that on the eve of WWII, when George Marshall leap-frogged a number of officers to high rank. Promotion within the military is not a civilian's business, but let us hope that we can keep the current crop of colonels in Iraq in the army, and promote them rapidly: right now they are our nation's best military resource.) A Heck of a Lot of Money A last note.." We are stealing no one's petroleum, but rather trying to secure their naturally rich country to allow them to profit on it. The Chinese may soon have a concession; one wonders whether al Qaeda will go after them-or whether our Left will cry "No blood for Chinese oil." A final Iraqi Tuesday posting on casualties, a talk with Gen. Petraeus, some of the colonels working in the provinces, and what the future holds. Iraqi Impressions-Final Part III Our Equipment is Tired Too The number of vehicles, arms, bases, and American infrastructure in Iraq is staggering. And the wear and tear on it all is evident everywhere. I wouldn't be surprised that 30% of our equipment is worn out to the degree that it wouldn't make sense hauling it back, and would be better off left to help transition the Iraqis. Humvees have sprung doors, broken glass, missing pieces, well in addition to the wear from sand and heat. I think the American people should accept that after Iraq we have an enormous tab to pay to reequip the air force, marines, and army. When you ride in a Ch-46 Frog marine helicopter, or a chugging Humvee or see banged up looking semis, you get some idea of the huge refitting job awaiting us after this is over, I'd say $30-40 billion at least. Gen. Petraeus I had an hour conversation with Gen. Petraeus, along with Rich Lowry of National Review, on Thursday evening at Camp Victory. He is trying to reconcile two widely divergent views. Petraeus knows. And yet he accepts that hyper-criticism of the elected Shiite government for their spite and intransigence can prove counterproductive, creating only resentment-especially since it is almost impossible to separate out the deliberate and malicious from simple incompetence within the ministries. An elected government, after all, is sovereign, and we work with those elected by a plurality of Iraq voters. The result? One must constantly pressure, coax, argue for a Sunni constituency that until very recently was trying to blow apart your own soldiers. And that isn't easy either. We liberated the Shiites, found them allies against Al Qaeda and Baathists, and now worry more about them than the Sunnis who killed us far more frequently for the first four years-only in Iraq. Iran came up. Again, a dilemma. Everyone knows Iran is sending lethal copper-tipped IEDs into Iraq, along with agents and cash, to either destroy the country or reduce the government into the status of a puppet state. It gave aid to both Sunni and Shiite militias on the principle that whatever caused turmoil for Iraq could not be bad for Iran. Solutions? What I gathered from Petraeus is that we have to find a way to stop Iranian infiltration and direct weapons deliveries, perhaps at first by moving our military compounds closer to the border, and getting Iraqis to monitor the intrusions along with us. We must get the Europeans to curb trade and investment; that alone would cripple the theocracy. What we must be careful about are direct strikes against Iranian weapons' facilities that would only prompt a terrorist response-or worse-in Iraq. So how one does balance that act-wean the Shiites of Iranian help, have the government rein in the Iranian-backed militias, and convince Baghdad that the new Sunni protection forces are no threat to the government? Gen. Casey had a brain trust in Iraq, and he set up the counter-insurgency center in Taji. Col. Bill Hix (now in Afghanistan), whom I know well, was on his staff and representative of the highly-educated, talented colonels in the army I wrote about last posting and whom Casey brought with him. I think Petraeus has only accelerated that trend, in getting the likes of Cols McMaster, Kilcullen, MacFarland, and Mansoor all assembled together. No one knows more about the seams of wartime Iraqi alliances than they. Imagine a university seminar, the professors with sidearms and M-16s at their side, the stakes not a change in curriculum but the life and death of thousands. So one's final impression of Petraeus is pretty clear: this is about the only person who combines all the experience necessary for this now nearly impossible task. If he cannot pull it off, I don't think any military commander could. I found him at times soft-spoken, gruff but polite, blunt, candid, and informed, and generous with his praise of his subordinates. He is a colonel's general, and represents this effort by the army to bring in those with advanced degrees, who question the status quo, and find that their intellectual skills and education are nearly as important as their military acumen in solving this Byzantine labyrinth of what is now Iraq. He is not prone to misstatement or bluster or partisanship, and would seem a natural leader that the Democrats could rally behind as well-taking undue credit for demanding changes that led to his appointment. So the tactic of slandering him as we saw last month with the Moveon.org "Be-tray-us" ads is nothing short of political suicide-as the Democrats also belatedly learned who finally distanced themselves from their in-house zealots. But again, this is a mere sideshow, the real challenge being solely can the violence be stopped to allow reconciliation? Al Qaeda. IEDs Col. Hickey gave a scholarly presentation about IEDs-a frightful weapon that kills randomly, without recourse to reply to the attacker, and quickly instills a sense of dread among those forced to drive over highways seemingly devoid of enemies. I won't go into detail, but answers offered are not merely technological since we are in a constant challenge/response cycle against sophisticated enemies, in which the deadlier and more sophisticated mine can gain the edge much more quickly than the commensurate expensively armored vehicle or jamming device. Even the new wedge-bottom marine vehicles (I rode in a MRAP [Mine Resistant Ambush Protected] vehicle and found that it seemed to ride much more cumbersomely than the up-armored Humvee) are very vulnerable to Iranian-machined copper-headed IEDs, as are at times even Abrams tanks. All the jamming gear in the world, and up-armored plating, can't save our men driving down roads with occasional Iranian IEDs or large al Qaeda brands. So the answers are found in intelligence, and that means getting the local population to identify the bomb makers, the mules who plant them, the houses where they sleep, and the places where they eat. I think we are winning that race, but the rub is that an exasperated public has zero tolerance for further casualties. So to maintain our pressure on al Qaeda we must suffer almost no losses, and that means almost no IEDs. And even a analyst like Col. Hickey can't promise that. Civilians The number of Defense Intelligence Agency analysts, Provincial Reconstruction teams, investigators from the Pentagon, and mid-level diplomats in transit hourly around Iraq is astonishing. In the present calmer climate, their duties, ironically, can pose even higher risks than combatants, since they hop from one area to another, in convoys and in aircraft, often given tours of the front immediately upon arrival. I have only the highest regard for all of them-a large number of whom are courageous women-who think nothing of jumping on a Blackhawk to copter up to Fallujah, tour the town, meet Iraqis, write reports, fly back, low and in pitch black night on an Army helicopter, and then repeat the sequence the next day or so. The Arbitrariness of Death. Soldiers die in Iraq in very unexpected ways, as is true in all wars. But the line from rear and front is blurred to an astonishing degree, the enemy has no uniforms, and we know sometimes very little about shifting alliances-and who is who on any given week. Shrapnel can fly into a tent at the hospital in Balad. An overloaded Humvee can careen into a canal. Someone walking in Camp Victory can be mortared. With so many poorly trained Iraqis with so many guns, accidental firings are common. Paid insurgents can mortar into, and drive-away from, even the most fortified target. Listening to the stories of how our 3,800 something have died, I was struck how often death came in moments that were outside "combat," and involved simply driving, or sleeping, or eating dinner. There are no fronts in Iraq. That does not mean that a private in a Humvee driving outside Tikrit is not in vastly more danger than a staffer in one of Saddam's grotesque palaces at Camp Victory-only that the war can be everywhere and nowhere, and no one is immune at any time. One small example of what must be an everyday occurrence. After visiting areas in Anbar deemed active, one hardly thinks that the ten-or-so mile drive from Camp Victory to the tarmac poses much danger. But on arrival about 7:30 PM, while approaching with two Air Guard pilots our light prop plane, without warning a mortar round landed thirty yards from us. We six (journalist Rich Lowry and two National Guard lieutenants were also there) dived to the tarmac. All that saved us was that instead of immediately exploding and showering us with shrapnel, the nearby round hit the cement runway obliquely and for some reason skipped before exploding at a safer distance. The entire airport was shut down for considerable time after the attack, and when it reopened we walked over to the impact hole in the tarmac and saw that even without going off immediately, the unexploded round, if aimed just few yards differently into our midst, would have taken at least one of us out. To stave off defeat, the insurgents, whether ex-Baathists, al-Qaeda, or Shiite militias are embedded within terrorized communities. And they know that while a firefight with a US Marine or Army unit means instant death, an occasional quick rocket or mortar salvo might kill randomly an American-and with that death another headline in a U.S newspaper and another thousand or more citizens back home sick of Iraq, the war, and Iraqis. The war now has increasingly become defined only on the basis of how many of our own die, and that's the metric the enemy welcomes. But then after 9/11 we learned there are no fronts, and the worst "battle" still was the first that saw 3,000 incinerated in minutes in Manhattan. Behind all this lies the reality that Islamic radicals and their patrons fear any conventional fight with the US military, be it from the grand scale to the mere skirmish. Their only home is terror and its twin of demoralization and fear. Final note. After beating this reoccurring stone problem, I hope to make a third visit next year, and see to what degree the Anbar awakening has taken hold. This trip the general feeling was one of almost abject disbelief that 'lost' provinces could suddenly change so quickly. But to sum up: there has been a dramatic change on the battlefield, to such a degree not only is the media largely clueless about it, but our own military is so surprised that it doesn't wish to make any sweeping predictions. But if the Sunni transformation continues, this is an historic development that may well tip the scales in our favor-with enormous political ramifications throughout the region, and indeed the world at large. How the Arab world-or indeed our own Left-will handle scenes of former enemy and hard-core Sunni nationalists working side-by-side with Americans I don't quite know, but it should be interesting... Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE Dr. Victor Davis Hanson is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution. He is the author, most recently, of A War Like No Other. How the Athenians and Spartans Fought the Peloponnesian War.. Why has this information not been released? It paints a perfect picture of the al Qaeda thugs - and we have physical proof per the confiscated computers and videos. A very interesting read. VDH bump How wonderful are these people. They see tremendous challenges ahead. They think about how to address them. We need a president who respects them and understands what they are all about. That is not Hillary Clinton. How right you are. The interesting thing about this post is that you actually have to read it. Those of you here obviously have - and through the time invested have gathered a tremendous understanding. All of this information is available to ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, etc. Either they are unable to process it (I am saying in a kind way they are too stupid) or they don't care. FOX News does a good job, but it cannot deliver this level of detail out to the public. They would much rather be enthralled with JLo's posterior diameter. However, there are so many intelligent and wonderful Americans out there who should hear this. Since you are a Christian, I have to ask you this. Do you think the rebirth of the Biblical Babylon predicted in Revelation will actually be modern Iraq? bump BTTT My heart bursts with pride and gratitude to read his descriptions of the best and brightest who are serving our nation in Iraq. bump bump for later read. The article cites John Kerry’s remark about how a lack of education would lead young people to Iraq. After reading about all the MA and PhD recipients serving in Iraq I am compelled to wonder where Mr. Kerry got his doctorate. What? You say he doesn’t have one? Why, I’m astonished. And yet he criticizes the intellectual level of those serving in Iraq. How interesting. I wonder if the very cultured Mr. Kerry knows how to spell “arrogance.” Dr. Victor Davis Hanson has 100 times the credibility of the entire cadre of MSM “journalists” who are so desperate to see us lose in Iraq. Kudos to Dr. Victor Davis Hanson, and shame to the MSM Quislings. I can tell you now..the hard core left won't like it. They are not really about peace, they are about power and emphasizing divisions among everyone in the world to keep or attain that power. Thank You for the great read... Why has this information not been released? It paints a perfect picture of the al Qaeda thugs - and we have physical proof per the confiscated computers and videos. Why? Because most of those in the MSM and our so-called political leadership whose responsibility it is to report this information are themselves part of the dregs of humanity... BTTT Thanks for posting the latest musings of our favorite military historian and Central Valley of California “neighbor”. My husband has been following him for several years.

The. Let’s take a look at these and other totally important issues they raise. 1) Females today being a bunch of ugly lesbians Do not dispute this highly scientific chart 2) The aforementioned Ladies Night Time to be flaky with da boys! 3) Hot babes playing video games in their underwear How exactly DO you get attention while playing video games by yourself in your underwear? (Asking for a friend.) 4) Hot babes getting more “likes” on Facebook for their cosplay pics than I got for my totally awesome Batman costume, no, I’m not bitter Also, she’s oppressing men with her butt 5) Women dressing up as sexy Darth Vader even though they probably don’t even know who he is, probably! The real Darth Vader did not have a boob window 6) Females doing Yoga wrong, and also having jobs and voting Also, women doing downward dog are oppressing men with their butts Clearly the only way to deal with a society this corrupt is to Go Your Own Way and live a life of quiet dignity like Henry David Thoreau devote all your free time to yelling about how women suck on the internet. @Weatherwax It’s all part of the mating call of MGTOWs :p MGTOW mating ? I prefer to not know. Now I’m imagining a MGTOW mating call. Here’s what I imagine it is: a high-pitched, screechy kind of call that brings to mind fingernails on a chalkboard. The kind of call that makes your eardrums want to crawl out of your ears and run as far away from that sound as possible. Unfortunately for the MGTOW (but not for a healthy society based on mutual respect, equality and tolerance) the call repels women rather than attracts them. I believe the call of the wild MGTOW sounds something like: ♪ Don’tWANNAholdthefalseDRAAAAAAAFTimonybots! So many comments! This is what I get for paddling through the lakes for three days. That and a good sunburn. @Alan, early on: The climbing wall in Pittsburgh had a ladies night once a week; wear a sports bra, get 50% off. More women than men wore sports bras those evenings, but only barely. @LaterSpaceCowboy To give them some benefit of the doubt they could be Australian rather than American in which case the dates would be valid (Aus declared war on Germany 3rd Sep 1939 and was involved in Vietnam war in at least some capacity between 1962 and 1972) but more likely they just screwed it up… Another puzzling thing about those graphs is the bars don’t go all the way to 100%. So, let’s see… in 1910-1940, 1% of males were gay, 10% were unattractive, another 15% were attractive, and the other 74% were… what, exactly? Just kind of okay-looking? The last graph suggests that post-2000, under 5% of men are not gay and not notably attractive or unattractive. Is the eradication of average-looking het, bi, and ace dudes the work of the ffeeemale ffeminist femspiracy? Does male disposability make asexual men allosexual, and cause bi men to not like boobs any more? Is hypergamy somehow making men ugly and handsome at the same time? So many questions! @ numberbois Is there any real distinction between a sports bra and an ill fitting vest? After a quick check and a little math, it appears that the combination of the two bars on the graph roughly corresponds to millions of adults below retirement age averaged over each period. Assuming that it’s not a complete asspull which coincidentally sort of lines up. How they came up with the rest of it I have no idea. Whoever made anti-girl geek memes is dumb, Geek spaces have as I’ve lived them been places for male & female nerds. There have always been female nerds and in most geek & gaming circles I’ve been in I’ve been welcomed with open arms. In my High school me and female friends were the weeaboos, the table top gamers & LARPERs, the boys were playing magic and that’s it. I don’t get were the HATE comes from. The Friend Zone will be a multi-story building. So there will be a quiet floor, and a boardgame floor, and a very well insulated loud dance floor for people into that, and so on. ETA: Is it just me, or is PocketNerd some magician who’s found a way to always have the last word? Their posts seem to permanently move to the last spot in the thread. @rabbid rabbit: Phryne suggested in the ‘fight for western civilization’ thread that the posts may be out of order because people are replying from their email notifications. Makes as much sense to me as anything else. @alan: Wilbur! interesting how they couldn’t find a picture of a woman playing videogames that wasn’t porn Man, now that this commemorative nickname thing is taking off, I kinda want one, but I haven’t had any especially interesting personal interactions with recent trolls. I’d probably have to go all the way back to MRAL, and I don’t know how many regulars actually remember him. How does orion – facial alpha sound? Thus Spake ZaraWeatherwax: It’s the reactionary version of crank magnetism. Liberals are feminists and liberals were against Britain leaving the EU, therefore the Brexit is a mighty blow against the feminist liberal globalist cultural Marxist agenda!!!!1111 Or something.

Just, the Trump Taj Mahal “failed to report suspicious transactions; failed to properly file required currency transaction reports; and failed to keep appropriate records as required.” In this episode of Trump, Inc., our podcast with ProPublica, we dig into the now-bankrupt and shuttered Trump Taj Mahal, once one of the biggest and glitziest casinos in the world. It’s a story of chaotic operations, massive debt, and a tendency to treat rules as more like suggestions. Ring a bell? And remember, we want to hear from you: We’re always eager for tips. We also want to hear your questions. What would you like to know about Trump’s businesses? What confuses you? We may be able to answer, and even if not, we can at least try to explain why something isn’t known.TweetPopout Listen on iPhoneListen on Android

Belsebuub and Rover chat with someone who has had a near-death experience and discuss whether near-death experiences are real, on ‘Rover’s Morning Glory’ CBS Radio, WXRK 92.3FM, Cleveland, Ohio. Share This Story, Choose Your Platform! 9 Comments Those interviewers are good value 🙂 thanks for sharing. This radio talk just made me remember an experience I had several years ago where I was at a friend’s place, but there was something odd with their furniture. It did not make sense, that’s when I realized then that maybe I was dreaming.. Everything felt so real though, so I checked where I was by pulling the finger and see if it stretched, but it did not. However, when I looked up, everything around had just frozen in time so to speak, like my friends. It was like the Matrix, where you realize what you see is not the reality, and the scene just faded away, and I was in my home. I was lucid though so I was able to do a bit of exploring but then I woke up shortly thereafter. What I really got from that experience, was to see how dreams are not actually ‘real’ but created by the mind and make like a mini movie around me. And it was like the woman who called and described her experience, you know it’s so real and there is something special about the understanding you get from an experience that stays with you, even years afterwards. Thank you Belsebuub and Lara for uploading another great little interview – wishing it reaches many people and tickles their interest in what lays beyond the eyes awaiting to be explored 🙂 That seems like a nice and educational experience Geraldine 🙂 Although I’ve on occassions verified that things from over there also check out here, that is not what proved that the astral dimension is real for me. Rather it was in being there, having such an astral experience, conscious and perceiving, that you just know it’s real! It is not easy, but it’s amazing when you can poke through the dream images and perceive the real things there, even if it’s just as simple as walking down the steps in your house, walking through the living room. This can be so amazing. That’s a great example Geraldine, thanks for sharing. Every time I listen to these talks, they provide me with a lot of inspiration! Once again, I really appreciated listening to the way how Belsebuub handled the questions of the radio host by consciously responding to them (instead of emotional reactions). Thank you so much for giving us this guidance, looking forward to explore more and better! The astral plane is a very special place for me and I practice it every night. Ever since I managed to prove that I’m able to astral project I’ve used it to search for spiritual information. Today I have not a single doubt that it’s a real place and anyone can prove that it’s real, that is, if they make an effort using the easy to understand techniques from Belsebuub. I’ve found that it requires a lot of practice but the rewards that you can gain are so worth it. I was once very skeptical like the gentleman on the radio talk, but I’m so glad that I stuck with it. Great talk thanks for putting it up Lara. “What’s up dude? — eeh, little chat on near-death-experiences.” Funny bunch of radio hosts. But their curiosisties still allowed Mark to give some good info and clarifications on the subject, which is great. Relevant as well that one of the hosts had his own sort of ‘involuntary’ out-of-body experience, plus the girl calling in to give her personal account also added to the whole story. Quite cool still to hear this subject discussed live on the radio. Like the girl who called in, I think many people have had their own experience of one kind or another but don’t know what it was and sort of keep it quiet. Public radio shows like this must’ve been a great way for people to remember those experiences and to possibly open the way for them to explore them. Very unfortunate that those courses are no longer running, but great to have the material still available in the Astral Codex book. Ah yes, this is the famous “whats up dude” one, you know immediately you’ve arrived to the U.S. after such a start, don’t you? 😀 Haha, yes indeed. 🙂

Spartans Join Fight Against Cancer Two big events at UNCG last weekend helped raise funds for the fight against children’s cancer. About 1,100 students joined in UNCG’s Spartathon – a Saturday evening dancethon in Fleming Gym – and raised about $1,200. “All of the proceeds will be given to Brenner Children’s Hospital and go toward children recently diagnosed with pediatric cancer,” said Crystal Bayne, president of the UNCG Student Government. “There was great music, dancing and fun all night long!” From glow sticks and glow-in-the-dark jewelry to confetti cannons to the raffling of a 50-inch, flat-screen television, it was a memorable evening – for an excellent cause. “I think our students truly enjoyed the event! There was even a 9-foot Transformer/robot that danced and blew smoke out into the crowd.” The event was sponsored by the Student Government Association and Campus Activities Board. And at the end of Sunday’s baseball victory over Elon, UNCG Baseball raised $4,516 for the “Vs. Cancer Foundation.” Many of the Spartan players had their heads shaved – fans pledged money to see it happen. They lost a few locks and gained a lot of satisfaction knowing it was for a great cause. UNCG cheerleader Amber Coe threw out the first pitch at the game. She was diagnosed with cancer as a high school student and was successfully treated at Brenner’s. “It’s great to see the students come together and raise money for such a great cause,” she said in a video promoting the event. “The Vs. Cancer Foundation does give a lot of money to the Brenner’s Children’s Foundation. And that’s great – helping those kids affected by cancer every day is so important.” Learn more about Coe’s story in this UNCG Athletics video clip. reposted from UNCG News & Features By Mike Harris, University Relations

Frugal Living Tip: Online Paid Surveys Why should I start doing paid surveys? Doing surveys online is a fast and easy way of making extra money without having to leave the comfort of your own home. It’s a great way for lazy people like me, who want to make some extra money without having to waste much energy. Taking surveys online is basically giving your opinion on a certain subject and getting paid for it. This is how it works, you make an account on a paid survey website, take a few surveys, and then when you reach the amount of money needed for a payment, you will receive your earnings in the mail or through a Paypal. How much money can I expect to make? Each survey can range from a quarter to twenty or more dollars, depending on the survey you take. The prices for surveys usually vary depending on time, or how long it will take you to complete a survey.Sometimes you can get lucky and find a survey that will pay you decently for only a few seconds of your time, but that isn't very likely. Even if you take a bunch of surveys that only pay a dollar for your time, the money that you earn does add up. In just an hour you can make over thirty dollars if you wanted to. How do I know it’s not just a scam? This is a commonly asked question, because there are so many scam websites out there, it’s a fact. Many websites will try to steal your personal information to expose it to other companies or use it to their benefit in some way. If you want to keep all your personal information secure, do not put out any personal information like your SSN or any financial information if you don’t feel comfortable doing so. If you really want to be safe, Paypal is a great way of collecting money without having to give out any personal information. How Paypal works is it acts as the middleman, the paying website will give the money to your Paypal, then you can collect it from there. Before you sign up and make an account with any paid survey websites, you can check to see if they use Paypal. Most of the time they will. Some paid survey websites that I recommend are Inboxdollars and Cashcrate. Inboxdollars and Cashcrate Quick Review Inboxdollars and cashcrate both allow you to get paid through Paypal, and from personal experience, I’d say are completely safe. Both websites will give you a list of surveys that are available for you, which also show you the amount of time is required to complete the survey and how much money you’ll be making. On Cashcrate, before you take a survey, you can fill out a small questionnaire (Like a pre-survey survey) which asks some questions about your personal interests. Once done, Cashcrate gives you a list of surveys that would relate to your interests. Another thing I enjoy that Cashcrate offers as well as inboxdollars does, is the paid video option. What the paid video option is, is you get to watch a quick ad that could range in time, from ten seconds to about two minutes. Each video is usually an ad from companies trying to get more exposure to a certain product or cause. You get paid for every ad you watch, which in my opinion, is even easier than taking surveys. I say this, because all you have to do is click on the video and watch it. You don’t need an opinion towards the product at all, you just need to know that it’s out there. Sometimes I like to have my ads playing, mute the computer, then click on another tab I have open. When I go back onto my Cashcrate/Inboxdollars tabs the total money I’ve made for those two sites has significantly increased. These two websites also have a lot of beneficial things to offer for just making an account. The sites will actually pay you to download coupons. That sure beats buying a coupon booklet! There’s no catch, the reason these sites exist, is because companies pay these paid survey websites to get exposure and criticism from us. Making money through these sites is that easy! Plus, it’s free to sign up. Would you start taking online surveys? Popular

Mérida, June 26th 2009 (Venezuelanalysis.com) - Today, the Venezuelan ambassador to the United States, Bernando Alvarez, will re-take his position in Washington, and the US ambassador to Venezuela, Patrick Duddy, will return to Venezuela this weekend, the respective foreign ministries said. In September last year Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez expelled the US ambassador in Venezuela in a gesture of solidarity with Bolivia, who had expelled its US ambassador in response to evidence that the ambassador had met with separatist opposition groups. The US then removed its ambassador from Venezuela. Alvarez called the re-establishment of relations between the two countries a "historic decision" and said that it expressed a change in the United States, exemplified by the US's attitude in this month's meeting of the Organisation of American States (OAS) where the US was perceived as more diplomatically friendly and Alvarez is also president of the newly named Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas (ALBA) and he said it is not clear yet who will take on that position. Since Barack Obama became president of the US in January both countries' presidents have expressed a desire to restore relations. On Wednesday, Ian Kelly from the US State Department said the renewed ties came out of the recent Summit of the Americas in April where, "Clinton and President Chavez spoke [and since then], both our governments have worked toward the goal of returning ambassadors to our respective capitals.

The quickly unveiled announcement that the Pentagon will lift the ban on women in combat has raised a vexing question that is already prompting debate: Will the move ultimately lead to women being required to register for the draft? Outgoing Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced Thursday that the Pentagon would reverse the ban and allow women to serve in combat roles. “If they can meet the standards, there is no reason why they shouldn’t have the chance,” Panetta said during a news conference at the Pentagon. The move was applauded by the White House, by lawmakers on both sides of the aisle and by equal-rights advocacy groups. But not everybody is on board with the changes. Critics say the big battle ahead isn't over physical capabilities or competency but in the logistical legal challenge of trying to weave the changes into current law. How the government would handle the draft is among the questions observers are asking. "Once you allow women into combat, you are then essentially ordering all women to fight," Tommy Sears, executive director at The Center for Military Readiness, told FoxNews.com. "You have a vocal minority forcing women who would rather not be fighting to go to war." Sears told FoxNews.com Thursday that he believes once women are allowed on the front lines, all women will be held to the same standards as men. He claimed the government could be obligated to expand the draft -- should it ever be activated -- to women. "There are interest groups for women who will actually make it a point to see that that happens," he said. But Panetta, asked Thursday about the implications for the draft, said that’s not the Pentagon’s purview. “That’s not our operation,” Panetta said during a press conference at the Pentagon. “I don’t know who the hell controls Selective Services if you want to know the truth. … Whoever does, they’re going to have to exercise some judgment based on what we just did.” The Selective Service System is an independent federal agency within the executive branch of the federal government. The director reports directly to the president. U.S. law states that if there are changes in policy regarding where women can serve in the military, the Pentagon must provide a "detailed analysis of the legal implication of the proposed change with respect to the constitutionality of the application of the Military Selective Service Act ... to males only." Currently, men are supposed to register for the Selective Service within a month of turning 18. It has been limited to men between the ages of 18 and 25. Since women have not been allowed to fight on the front lines, they have been excluded from the lottery. The drafting order involves a number of steps but basically it comes down to a computer picking who gets called to duty. Some say it's too early to worry about a draft but others point to the complicated process as another example of the uphill challenges that face the seismic shift in military policy. If the draft were ever reinstated, changing the rules could be complicated. The country's military normally uses volunteer troops. The president has the authority to call in reserve troops and the National Guard if necessary, but if more military personnel are needed, Congress and the president could decide to reinstate the draft. To do so, Congress would have to pass legislation and the president would have to approve it. The Pentagon on Thursday formally announced it had decided to lift the ban on women in combat. "The department's goal in rescinding the rule is to ensure that the mission is met with the best-qualified and most capable people, regardless of gender," Panetta said in a statement. Last year, two lawsuits were filed challenging the Pentagon's ban on women serving in combat. They added pressure on officials to overturn the male-only combat policy. The Joint Chiefs have had regular meetings on the matter and unanimously agreed to send the recommendation that would reverse the all-male policy to Panetta earlier this month. He added that he had briefed President Obama on the discussions, reviews and recommendations for nearly a year. Another challenge facing the military is deciding and defending the position on how many of the battlefront posts would go to women versus men. It will be up to the military service chiefs to recommend and defend whether women should be excluded from any of those more demanding and deadly positions, such as Navy commandos or the Army's Delta Force. Some combat spots may open as soon as this year, while assessments for others may take longer. The services will have until January 2016 to make a case that some positions should remain closed to women.

A Leap of Faith/ We started out as semi-typical college students. I lived on campus, B commuted. We were at different schools doing our own thing. College was a rough adjustment for me. It didn't help that I had missed freshman orientation for the fair. I literally left the fair and went straight to school. I remember sitting at our dorm meeting and being completely overwhelmed by the amount of people. I looked around and saw friendships already forming and memories already being shared. I felt alone, like an outcast. Lucky for me I knew my roommate (which was a huge blessing) and I wasn't too far from home. I cried a lot the first couple weeks, mainly at night, when the hustle and bustle of the day faded away. I had a hard time sleeping so close to the ceiling, listening to sirens, car horns and breaks outside my window. I missed the soft quiet of home. I missed my parents, my dogs, my familiar bed. I eventually became acclimated though. I adjusted to living on my own. I joined some groups, tried out for the choir and made some friends. A couple weeks in to school my schedule filled up and I had little free time. B's schedule was similar. My college freshman self, at Light Up the Lakes He entered into an accelerated nursing school program right out of high school (which is truly amazing! Hardly anyone does it). He passed their entrance test and started clinical his first day of school. He had class six days a week and drove to Cleveland every Monday. He was overloaded! By the time the semester was over B had developed a hernia and had surgery over Christmas break. He also got mono. I too got really sick, right before Christmas break. We reevaluated what we were doing. B hated nursing school. He felt like God had led him down that path (getting in and all) and he knew it would get him a good, stable job. But B was miserable in nursing school, his body actually shut down. He took the next semester off, devoting time to praying and figuring out what God actually wanted. I needed a break as well. I was just as busy as I was in high school, barley allowing myself to rest. With B's help, I prioritized my life. I trimmed down my commitments and I finally had free time. Out hunting with B and his brothers / my brothers! :) B and I were able to spend more time together. We grew a lot closer, and I was blessed to be able to grow closer with his family too. Home started to feel different. It’s always hard to live on your own and come home to a different way of life and rules. I had seen that adjustment with my sister, but this was different. My parents and I had been really close. We had spent a lot of time together while my sister was away at college, just the three of us. But we were no longer on the same page. I was a different person when I came home that summer. My outlook on life had changed, my priorities had changed, my heart had changed. B and I had started talking about getting married before that summer. We felt like God was telling us to get married. I had never been so sure of anything in my life. This frightened my parents. They saw the numbers. We had only been dating for one year, we were only 19 years old, we had no full time job, nor money to support us, we had the rest of our lives ahead of us. I knew (most of the time) that God would take care of us that he would provide for us but I couldn't back it up with a game plan.. Your brains aren’t fully developed till your 25, how can you be sure? You haven’t even finished college, just wait till after you both have graduated. You have never dated anyone before, don’t rush into things. You have your whole life ahead of you. You're supposed to honor your father and mother. This isn't a smart decision.(never said but always insinuated) How are you going to live? How is he going to support you? Just spend more time together, go on vacations, no need to get married now. Establish yourself in the work force first, get your feet under you. You're just kids. Wherever we went, we met opposition, we met questions, concerns and judgments. But God was calling us to get married and we knew that in a year, with or without support, we were going to. It’s a scary thought. Honestly, although I knew in my heart that this was what God wanted I cried a lot over it. I pictured walking down the isle with no one there to support us. I pictured future Christmases alone. I felt like this decision, this "supposed to be" happy decision was tearing my family a part. I felt again like an outcast, but this time in my own home. I felt misunderstood and alone. I questioned, God is this really what you want? How can that be? And I always felt him say 'Yes, wait and you will see.' My only comfort was found in Jesus. He too was rejected for doing the will of God. He too was misunderstood. He too felt alone. I’m not saying I’m like Jesus. I’m saying, I wasn’t going through anything Jesus himself hadn’t gone through. We weren't alone, though it often felt that way. Jesus was no stranger to what I was going through or to what B was going through.

Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? [They] all say unto him, Let him be crucified. Matt 27:22 What shall "you" do then with Jesus which is called Christ? Obviously we don't cry out, "Let him be crucified" but then again, maybe we do so on a daily basis and not even realize it. Ever come up behind a car displaying a bumper sticker that says, "Honk If You Love Jesus"? Pull up behind one of these vehicles and blow your horn. You might be in for a big surprise as chances are you're be flashed that you're number 1.

What is Service Mesh and why we need it? Source : The term service mesh is used to describe the network of microservices that make up such applications and the interactions between them. Istio Details: Istio Components Envoy. Mixer Mixer is a platform-independent component. Mixer enforces access control and usage policies across the service mesh, and collects telemetry data from the Envoy proxy and other services. The proxy extracts request level attributes, and sends them to Mixer for evaluation.. Istio installation Login to cluster and extract istio package oc login -u system:admin tar -xvzf istio-1.0.5-linux.tar.gz Istio uses Custom Resources like VirtualServices and DestinationRules. To allow OpenShift/Kubernetes to understand those values, we first need to install the ‘CustomResourceDefinitions’ file using the command oc apply -f istio-1.0.5/install/kubernetes/helm/istio/templates/crds.yaml Install istio oc apply -f istio-1.0.5/install/kubernetes/istio-demo.yaml oc get pods -n istio-system Create External Routes Let’s create routes to external services like Grafana, Prometheus, Tracing, etc using the following command: oc expose svc istio-ingressgateway -n istio-system; \ oc expose svc servicegraph -n istio-system; \ oc expose svc grafana -n istio-system; \ oc expose svc prometheus -n istio-system; \ oc expose svc tracing -n istio-system Add Istio to the path Now we need to add istioctl to the path. Execute export PATH=$PATH:/root/installation/istio-1.0.5/bin/ And check version of istioctl. $istioctl version Version: 1.0.5 GitRevision: c1707e45e71c75d74bf3a5dec8c7086f32f32fad User: root@6f6ea1061f2b Hub: docker.io/istio GolangVersion: go1.10.4 BuildStatus: Clean

Jeff Faller sent me the following link to a post on a website I otherwise would never have visited, as it's focused on D&D IV, a game I don't play. The post is written by a beta tester of WotC's upcoming D&D Virtual Table, which is apparently -- more knowledgeable folks than I can chime in here -- a tool for running online games. Now, I personally have zero interest in such a tool, as I have a gaming group with which I'm happy, but I understand that not everyone is so fortunate. For them, something like this might well be a boon. Anyway, what's intriguing about the linked post is that, about 0:30 into the first video, the presenter notes that the Virtual Table seems to include options for D&D rulesets other than Fourth Edition, including First Edition AD&D. Exactly what this means, if anything, is uncertain, since the presenter didn't attempt to use a ruleset other than 4e in his test of the software. My gut tells me that it's not going to amount to much, but I'm notoriously cynical and pessimistic. On the other hand, given the way WotC has lately been playing the nostalgia card in their advertising, I suppose there's a slim chance they're serious about trying to support older editions of Dungeons & Dragons. Time will tell. I have no use for a Virtual Table myself, regardless of what rulesets it supports. However, if WotC really does make it meaningfully useful to players of, say, AD&D or OD&D, I'll be pleasantly surprised. If you want a virtual tabletop you can't go wrong with Fantasy grounds II. It does everything they now say that the D&D tabletop will do and more. The various combat tools, initiative trackers, effects trackers and so on are so damn good I even use them in my face to face games AFAIK there is no explicit mechanical support for older rulesets, because the VRT does very little automatically. As a result, it doesn't prevent players from using the older rulesets either. My understanding is that the inclusion of the dropdown showing different versions of D&D is to allow the host DM to announce that they're running a particular version, and to help players find and join in on that version of the game. The real test will be if the VRT can stay "version agnostic" as they enable automatic features and data import/linking into the software. The WotC Virtual Table currently barely supports any ruleset. There's the very hint of 4e support, but it's pretty vague. It would certainly be a reasonable platform for running AD&D or OD&D. Fill in hit points and AC and you're good to go. The ruleset options in the campaign options are purely cosmetic, to help people looking for campaigns. I would call this a positive, since it implies that WotC cares about people looking for games involving earlier editions. So I'm the only one that's thinking that this screams that WOTC is considering rereleasing AD&D? Maybe its me, but all these VTT's all seem so long winded and bit generic in their way their put together. I'm not saying they should look like some fancy-schmancy game like Everquest or WoW, but even Gauntlet had a better overall design depicting a D&d'ish digital tabletop and it's close to twenty five years old. @dangerous brian: wow, never saw FGII before--that is a pretty intense looking program. But I would expect it to be with an actual price tag, I suppose :) I've used the free Maptool program over at RPTOOLS.net, it spoiled me with its fog of war, HP tracking on the virtiual minis, and lighting effects, and it allowed me to play with my old group that was spread around the country. Did i mention its FREEE. I think lighting effects were the real eye opener for me as I have never realy bothered to track them, but when the computer starts keeping track of who has the tourch (and where they droped it) Light becomes a necesarry spell. the program even allows you to set wich Minis have low light and dark vision. I was really disappointed with trying out a demo for Fantasy Grounds, as the free Maptools seemed to have a lot more options and not as confusing of an interface. Haven't tried out Maptools in a long time, though, been meaning to give it another spin. The difference between Maptools and Fantasy Grounds is that one (FG) is really a full-fleshed virtual table top while the other is a set of tools with which one could emulate a virtual table top. FG includes a bunch of behind the scenes utilities as part of the overall package that just aren't there w/ Maptools. BUT...RPTools (developers of Maptool) offers a bunch of modules that come pretty darned close to FG as a suite. And as sevenbastard noted: They're FREEEEE. I'm interested to see how WotC produces a rules agnostic virtual table-top application. It just doesn't sound like their current business model. Why would they do such a thing? Especially when you consider that they pulled all the older edition game material pdfs off market. Personally it sounds like they're either reaching out and saying "Hey all you D&D players, check this out!" OR they're thinking of re-releasing the older rules as supported modules for their VTT. Which I SERIOUSLY doubt. Either way, like James (and most of you probably) I much prefer real life to virtual anything. Still...it's intriguing. A browser based, rules agnostic VTT would be way better than anything that is currently available if only for one reason. Please, for the love of Gygax, correct me if I'm wrong, but with the existing systems one player has to act as the host server and there is all sorts of messing around with IP addresses and firewalls and suchlike. Now the more computer savvy among us might sneer at the idea that this is too complex for some people, but I assure you that it is- I have a guy in my group who can barely get Skype to work for him. I'm sure I could get map tools working on his machine, but he is a state away, and driving up there would more or less defeat the purpose of the whole enterprise- especially given the fact that if one thing went wrong, I'd have to drive back up there to fix it. Words cannot convey my frustration. The other player I have asked me no less than five times in as many minutes if he was going to get a virus when he DLed map tools. He was so tweaked about it, I just told him to forget about it. Words cannot convey my frustration. However, these guys are my very best friends in the world, and there is no one else I'd rather game with, but man, I'd happily pay WoTC 10$ a month to avoid their issues. Just being able to go to Wotc.com or whatever and log in and get rolling would be sweet. Sure there would be a learning curve, but just getting everyone there would be half the battle. Being computer savvy shouldn't ever be a prerequisite for playing D&D, even on line. The moral of the story is what works for some doesn't work for everyone. P.S. Gamer Dude, re: why would they do such a thing? I suspect, maybe, because they love money and this would be a golden opportunity to turn non customers into customers. Why would they do such a thing? If using this involves a monthly subscription fee, I doubt they care what rule system you're using. Aos: Amen to that... Only issue I have is the monthly subscription fee. Seriously. That's highway robbery for a VTT. $120 a year? Wow... And yeah, I have no illusions that this is any sort of altruistic, koom-bay-yah offering from WotC in order to "please" all of us fringe cases. No, it's all about the benjamins. But hey, that's business man. Only issue I have is the monthly subscription fee. Seriously. That's highway robbery for a VTT. $120 a year? Wow... Well in all fairness the 4e player gets a lot more for their money. I don;t play 4e though, so I'd be paying just for the VTT. However, we play every week, though, so it comes out to maybe 2.50$ a session, which doesn't seem so bad to me- in fact, it's way less than I was paying in gas money for my last ftf game. A factor I think may appeal to other people in remote locations without access to a local group. I am in the beta and to my understanding the system selection is just to say which system you are using as was said before since you have to put things by hand for now you can use freely with 1st edition as was pointed before you just need to add hp and attack/damage :) it's in early development but looks quite solid :) They're still working on this? The TSR/WOTC desire for a computer mapping tool is, like, their combined Vietnam/Afghanistan. Hint: Not software company. Aos, what is it that a 4e player would get above and beyond what a licensed FG II player might get? I'm not attempting to be belligerent btw, just trying to figure out what it is WotC is packing into this thing to justify the expense...Especially when the market already has tools out there that perform exactly / nearly the same job. Granted, your point regarding a thick client v. thin client is valid. Bottom line, I was really hoping that WotC was taking a step towards re-releasing the older rules. That doesn't appear to be true though. Bummer. Gamer dude, I don't think you're being belligerent, at all. The 4e player gets the a package of stuff right now: the character builder, some kind of monster builder, access to Dungeon and Dragon and probably some stuff I don't know about. I believe the VTT is just an additional feature. As to what they get that FG doesn't offer, I think the thick client vs. thin client is really, really huge. I simply believe it is the difference between people using such an application and not using it. I can;t stress this enough. I play online. FG and Map Tools may as well not exist for all the good they've done me or will do me in the future. All anyone needs to do is spend 45 minutes trying to get everyone on and getting absolutely nowhere to see the value in a system that doesn't require the Firewall/IP manipulation necessary for FG and other currently available systems. You may find this hard to believe, but I think the majority of people who might wish to sue such a thing are going to give up the first seven time they can't get it to work. Also the brand Dungeons and Dragons is going to draw a lot more interest than FG. Furthermore, they may also be able to form groups with other players of that edition who are also online. @Delta- I don't know; they promised their customers that they would have this. It didn't work out. I think just quitting would be more lame than trying to make belated delivery. My group is pretty happy with MapTool. Free is a pretty good price for us. We use MapTool in our face to face game with a couple of laptops and a computer hooked to my HDTV. This setup is pretty handy if you like using miniatures BUT don't have a table the size of King Arthur's. Just to augment what AOS said (which I wholeheartedly agree with), the WotC tabletop also has the advantage of being able to leverage WotC artwork and creative content. The VTT already has one set of Dungeon Tiles built in. I could envision more being available for a small fee and pre-built maps for Modules and Dungeon adventures also being available (again, probably for a fee, but they are in the business of making money and someone does have to pay the salary of the person who puts these items together). @AOS: Setting up Fantasy Grounds or MapTool is not significantly different from setting up any other computer software. Yes, there is a networking concern, but that is primarily the requirement of the DM - most players should simply be able to load the program and run. And if not, the local Geek Squad (rented techs) could get you up an running for an additional $20 which is still far less than a year subscription of WotC. But the key difference isn't the thick vs. thin - it is the fact that using the online WotC tool leaves you entirely at the mercy of WotC for the future of your campaign. Once I purchase FG II or download MapTool the program is mine to use no matter what happens down the road, including the originating companies going out of business. Subscribing to WotC's VTT means that should Wizard's decide that they are getting out of the software business altogether, or should Mattel(?) decide to close down the Wizard's arm of their business - or even if WotC comes out with D&D V in 3 years and converts the VTT to that system - you're stuck. You have no autonomy whatsoever. And here's hoping they have a foolproof system of backups. If I recall correctly, even Hotmail and Gmail have had incidents of clients losing their entire account history - imagine having to recreate all your maps and characters in a VTT which had a database failure. Unless you think that WotC will give you an export feature ...

Venus Williams played for the Kastles last July against Kansas City. This year, both she and her sister Serena are expected to make an appearance for the World Team Tennis franchise. (Matt McClain/FOR THE WASHINGTON POST) Venus and Serena Williams will return to Washington this summer to lead the Washington Kastles’ defense of their 2011 World Team Tennis championship. Kastles owner Mark Ein ensured the sisters’ return by protecting both star players on the eve of the league’s marquee draft, held Tuesday in New York. “Obviously we’re thrilled to have them back, and with a perfect title season to defend, we certainly need all the help we can get,” Ein said. “People will be gunning for us, and having them on the team is terrific.” The 2011 Kastles compiled the first unblemished record in WTT history (16-0). In addition to the Williams sisters, they will return Coach Murphy Jensen and are expected to bring back the core of the team for a second season at the waterfront venue in Southwest Washington. Earlier this month, Venus Williams played her first competitive match since withdrawing from the 2011 U.S. Open following her diagnosis of Sjogren’s Syndrome, an autoimmune disorder that often causes fatigue. Williams emerged from a near six-month hiatus for a Fed Cup tie against Belarus, teaming with the world’s top-ranked doubles player, Liezel Huber, for a 6-1, 6-2 victory that delivered a 5-0 sweep for the Americans. By taking part in Fed Cup, Venus, 31, fulfilled one key requirement for earning a spot on the 2012 U.S. Olympic team. Under International Olympic Committee rules, she still must raise her world ranking in order to qualify for the London Games, where tennis will be contested at the All England Club, site of her five Wimbledon championships. Currently ranked 137th in singles, Venus has until early June (through the French Open) to climb into the top 60-68 in the world — the range of the IOC’s cutoff for Olympic berths. To that end, Venus recently entered the Family Circle Cup in Charleston, S.C. (March 31-April 8) and is expected to compete in the hard-court tournament in Miami that precedes it. Venus won the gold medal in singles at the 2000 Sydney Games and teamed with sister Serena to win the gold in doubles that year and at the 2008 Beijing Games. The 2012 WTT season will run July 9-28.

- Girls Hoops Camp is a slam dunk with local players Photo by Preston Whitcraft Future stars (right to left) Maddie Behn, Lexie Landis, Sullivan Herrit and Payton Barnhart participate in a shooting drill at Warwick Girls Basketball Camp last week.Photo by Preston Whitcraft Future stars (right to left) Maddie Behn, Lexie Landis, Sullivan Herrit and Payton Barnhart participate in a shooting drill at Warwick Girls Basketball Camp last week. Approximately 40 girls participated in the Warwick Girls Basketball Camp, which was held last Monday through Thursday, June 20-23. The campers, in grades 3-9, honed their skills in daily stations such as shooting, offense, defense, rebounding, ball handling and passing. Warwick coaches Amy Derr, Fred Gerfin, Colleen Heckman and Denise Claar conducted the camp along with 13 WHS varsity and JV players who were counselors. Two girls daily received Camper of the Day honors — one in the 3rd-6th grade group and one in the 7th-9th grade group. Those award winners included Kasie Sheaffer and Abbey Finkill (Monday), Paytan Barnhart and Gabby Quirion (Tuesday), Talia Bertrando and Jamie Kolp (Wednesday), and Hannah Reinhart and Emily Williamson (Thursday). Other award winners included Rylee Derr and Katie Pyle, who were the 1v1 champions, while Destiny Butler, Kirsten Eberly and Kasie Sheaffer took home the 3v3 championship. The two Campers of the Week were Alexa Mohler and Emily Behn. Sponsors who made generous contributions to the camp this year were Scott Goeble from Schuylkill Valley Sports, Sabre Studio, Julius Sturgis Pretzel and Bakery, High Sports, Penn Cinema, Subway, Wilbur Chocolate, Greco’s Italian Ice and Ice Cream, and Vince Soto for backyard basketball certificates.

ATS Remembered is an individual project which I hope to register with the Charities Commission. At the present time I am personally funding the building of this archive - something I have been more than happy to do. However, I am finding that postage and stationery alone is costing me around £1,000 a year and I would be grateful, therefore, for any small contributions that any visitors to this site are prepared to make. Donations can be made by cheque made out to Beryl Furey-King and sent to the project address: 93 Poplar Road, Warmley, Bristol BS30 5JS Any contribution would be gratefully received and will be fully utilised in the support of this project.
