Continue the passage :22When He finished talking with him, God went up from Abraham.23Then Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all the servants who were born in his house and all who were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's household, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the very same day, as God had said to him 24Now Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. 25And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.26In the very samekings of people shall be of her.

So god said kings of people , meaning who rule . This refers to actual kings ;

and she shall be a mother of nations; of the twelve tribes of Israel; of the two nations of Israel and Judah:

kings of people shall be of her; as David, Solomon, and others, and especially the King Messiah.

Great nation supresedes many nations since there were no mention of greatness one can say so !!!

to my mind your objection is with God on this matter, as I said already.. It's my belief the Bible accurately records this account and from a Biblical perspective it makes perfect sense and there are no contradictions. The contradictions are in your own mind because the Biblical account does not tie in


the relevance of the beliefs of Samaritans where it pertains to the question of Temple Mount.

First I am not going to debate links

Second the Samaritans are considered people of the book in Islam not just Jews and christians. Also the old christian sects like nestorians and gnostics are also considered people of the book

Hilary Abell

Interviewed by Steve Dubb, Research Director, The Democracy Collaborative January 2010

Hilary Abell is Executive Director of WAGES (Women’s Action to Gain Economic Security), a position she has held since 2003. WAGES is a co-op business incubator that presently supports a network of five eco-friendly housecleaning worker cooperatives in the San Francisco Bay Area. For 15 years, WAGES has worked with low-income immigrant Latinas to launch green business cooperatives. WAGES-affiliated co-ops presently have 85 worker-owners, who earn above- industry wages ($14-15 an hour plus benefits) as well as having an ownership stake where they work. Today, approximately 2,000 Bay Area households are customers of WAGES Cooperatives. WAGES has also sought to expand its reach by forming partnerships with organizations in North Carolina and New York that are seekingto start up house cleaning worker co-ops of their own.

What were the origins of WAGES?

I came to WAGES many years after its founding, but I have met the founders and can share the story. There were three women who were community workers of different kinds, ranging from community health to social work, who came together to start WAGES in 1994 and incorporate it in 1995. They had worked with immigrant women, mostly from Mexico, in East Palo Alto on the San Francisco peninsula through a Catholic Charities-affiliated non-profit. They were running support groups of women and working on domestic violence and other issues. A common theme voiced by the women in the groups was the need for economic stability as a foundation for becoming more empowered in their


did this because it was a relatively high margin business with low barriers to entry, it was healthy for the women, and it was profitable if done right. The second phase involved replicating these green-cleaning co-ops for the first time – late 1990s to 2002. During this period, the two oldest of our five existing co-ops got started. Both were successful but they had a hard time growing beyond 15 worker-owners.

So we had encountered some challenges around scale and structure of the co-ops. WAGES had begun to move into the third phase when I came into the picture in 2003. The board and the previous director had made some good decisions to have more impact by moving towards a more streamlined, “representative democracy” model and away from anew application of the IDA works really well for co-ops. Over time, we hope it will also serve as a gateway to help the members take advantage of IDAs for other purposes, such as education, retirement savings, or home ownership, if it becomes more viable.

As you know, WAGES developed two co-ops in the 1990s, one in 2003, and then added two more to the network in 2009, one of which was a WAGES start-up and one of which involved a partnership with a nearby nonprofit group. What facilitated expansion in 2009 and what made expansion prior to 2009 more difficult?

The reason there was only one new co-op between 2003 and 2008 was due to our decision to focus on developing a model to allow for a single co-op


we did more marketing and media work with the help of Seventh Generation.

Our trainer is one of the founders of the Fantastic Fiesta cooperative I mentioned earlier. When that store closed, she joined WAGES’ staff. At this moment, she is in New York doing interviews with Oprah’s magazine and with several national parenting magazines on green cleaning. The Seventh Generation team made that happen. Their co-founder, Jeffrey Hollender, also co-hosted a fundraising party for WAGES. They’ve been very generous in helping us expand our donor base and build visibility for our efforts.

Internationally, worker co-ops are often seen as a primary vehicle for social enterprise, but this is not so in the United States. Is there anything you think that worker co-ops in the United States can learn fromThe Lessons of Libya: A War That Brought Total Societal Collapse

Three years ago, in late October 2011, the world witnessed the final defeat of the Libyan Jamahiriya – the name by which the Libyan state was known until overthrown in 2011, meaning literally the ‘state of the masses’ – in the face of a massive onslaught from N ATO, its regional allies and local collaborators.

It took seven months for the world’s most powerful military alliance – with a combined military spending of just under $1 trillion per year – to fully destroy the Jamahiriya (a state with a population the size of Wales) and it took a joint British-French-Qatari special forces operation to finally win control of the capital. In total, 10,000 strike sorties were rained down on


Libya, tens of thousands killed and injured, and the country left a battleground for hundreds of warring factions, armed to the teeth with weapons either looted from state armouries or provided directly by NATO and its allies. Britain, France and the US had led a war which had effectively transformed a peaceful, prosperous African country into a textbook example of a ‘failed state’.

Yet the common image of Libya in the months and years leading up to the invasion was that of a state that had ‘come in from the cold’ and was now enjoying friendly relations with the West. Tony Blair’s famous embrace of Gaddafi in his tent in 2004 was said to have ushered in a new period of ‘rapprochement’, with Western companies rushing to do business– and it now seems that they and the British used this period to prepare the ground for the war that eventually took place in 2011.

The US, for example, used their newfound access to Libyan officials to cultivate relations with those who would become their key local allies during the war. Leaked diplomatic cables show that pro-Western Libyan Justice Minister Mustafa Abdul-Jalil arranged covert meetings between US and Libyan government officials that bypassed the usual official channels and were therefore ‘under the radar’ of the foreign ministry and central government. He was also able to speed up the prisoner release programme that led to the release of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group insurgents who ultimately acted as NATO’s shock troops during the 2011 war. The head of the


LIFG – Al Qaeda’s franchise in Libya – eventually became head of Tripoli’s military council whilst Abdul-Jalil himself became head of the ‘Transitional National Council’ that was installed by NATO following the fall of the Jamahiriya.

Another key figure groomed by the US in the years preceding the invasion was Mahmoud Jibril, Head of the National Economic Development Board from 2007, who arranged six US training programmes for Libyan diplomats, many of whom subsequently resigned and sided with the US and Britain once the rebellion and invasion got underway.

Finally, the security and intelligence co-operation that was an element of the ‘rapprochement’ period was used to provide the CIA and MI6 with an unprecedented level of information about both Libyan security forces and opposition elements they could cultivate that wouldmonopoly of legitimate violence. This in turn leads to further societal and sectarian divisions emerging, as no group feels protected by the state, and each look instead to a militia who will defend their specific locality, tribe or sect – and thus the problem perpetuates itself, with the insecurity generated by the presence of some powerful militias leading to the creation of others. The result, therefore, is the total breakdown of national society, with not only security, but all government functions becoming increasingly difficult to carry out.

In Libya, not only were various sectarian militia such as LIFG armed and empowered by the US, Britain and France during the war against the Jamahiriya, but their power was then boosted by the new NATO-backed government that followed. In May 2012,


Law 38 effectively granted impunity to the militias, making them immune for prosecution not only for crimes committed during the war against the Jamahiriya (such as the well documented slaughter of immigrants and black skinned Libyans), but also for ongoing crimes deemed “essential to the revolution”. This law effectively gave a free pass to the militias to murder their real or imagined opponents, building on the boost to the authority that they had already gained two months earlier. In March 2012, many of the militias had been incorporated into a new police force (the Supreme Security Committee) and a new army (the Libya Shield) – not only legitimising them, but providing them with further material resources with which to continue their violence and their ability to impose theirwill on the country’s legal – but largely powerless – authorities. Since then, the new militia-run police force has led violent campaigns against the country’s Sufi minority, destroying several shrines in 2013. The same year, they also besieged several government ministries, in a (successful) attempt to force the government to pass a law criminalising supporters of the former government (a move which will jeopardise security yet further by barring hundreds of thousands of experienced officials from government work). The Libyan Shield, meanwhile, carried out a massacre of 47 peaceful protesters in Tripoli in November last year, and later kidnapped the Prime Minister Ali Zeidan. They are currently involved in a war to oust the newly elected government that has likely cost the lives of thousands since it started


this is to be taken with a large pinch of salt.

Lesson four – State destruction cannot be achieved without ground forces

A little noted aspect of the Libyan war (which has, however, been covered in detail by Horace Campbell) is the fact that the capital, Tripoli, was taken largely by Qatari ground forces co-ordinated by French and British special forces (in direct contravention of UNSC 1973). Indeed, no part of Libya was held by the rebels alone for any significant length of time without massive NATO bombardment of Libyan state forces; after the first three weeks, once the Libyan army got on top of the insurgency, not a single battle was won by the rebels until NATO started bombing. Even then, rebels could generally only take towns if NATOforces had completely destroyed the resistance first – and would still often be chased out again by the Libyan army a few days later. This is despite the fact that many of the Misrata militias were under the direct command of British special forces.

This state of affairs meant the taking of the capital was always going to be deeply problematic. The solution was Operation Mermaid Dawn – an invasion of Tripoli in late August by Qatari ground forces, French intelligence and the British SAS, preceded by several days of intensified airstrikes. Whilst it is true that local collaborators joined in once the invasion was on the way, and indeed some rebel units had prior knowledge, the reality is that the fall of Tripoli was overwhelmingly a foreign planned


sophisticated S-300 anti-aircraft missiles provided by Russia last year. This may make ground occupation the more viable option. With Western media attempting to put pressure on Turkey to mount a ground occupation, there may be hopes that Turkish forces will play in Syria the role that Qatari forces played in Libya.

The Libya war opened the eyes of many – or should have. But the overriding lesson – if it needed reiterating – should be the realisation that the US, the UK, France and their allies will stop at nothing, including even the imposition of total societal collapse, in order to attempt to reverse their declining global economic position through military destruction. This is the reality behind all talk of protecting civilians, humanitarianism, and democracy promotion, and all WesternA moniker associated with the Confederacy is finally being eliminated after a decades-long battle over its origins

The first record of someone in San Rafael raising an eyebrow at the name of the Dixie school district – whose name is synonymous with the Confederacy – dates back to 1863, a month after its founding and two years into the American civil war.

“It is supposed, by the ominous name, that the young ideas are here to be ‘trained how to shoot’ you,” wrote the Red Bluff Independent, in its 11 December edition.

More than 150 years later, the Dixie school district board in northern California has voted to change the name, after a hard-fought, 22-year battle that shook this affluent community located thousands of miles from the former Confederate states.

Against the


backdrop of the national debate around Confederate monuments, the fight to change the district’s name turned particularly toxic, with racial slurs, accusations of antisemitism, a school board recall effort, and death threats.

Concerns over a name that evokes slavery and racism should have been clear-cut in Marin County, which touts its liberalism and where more than 77% voted for Barack Obama in 2008. Dolly Parton dropped the “Dixie” in her civil war-themed theater production, Dixie Stampede, in 2018. Disney changed the name of its Antebellum-themed resort, Dixie Landings, in 2001.

But at the heart of the matter in this county that is more than 85% white lies the interpretation of centuries-old documents, figures, and history itself – and,district meeting in a screen shot from video footage. Photograph: Jim Geraghtty/Archive.org

The debate first came before the school board in 1997. “One day, I opened the local newspaper and read a story about the Dixie soccer team, which at the time was called the Dixie Stompers,” Kerry Peirson, a black man who moved to Marin county in 1982, said. “It was an immediate visceral image.”

Peirson contacted the superintendent at the time, who told him that Dixie was the name of the daughter of person who was superintendent in 1929. But the district and the old Dixie Schoolhouse had been named well before then – so Peirson began his own digging.

In a 1972 application to the National Park Service to get the Dixie Schoolhouse added to the National Registry


of Historic Places, the Dixie Schoolhouse Foundation cited Frances Miller Leitz, the granddaughter of James Miller, as saying that her grandfather had named the school itself on a dare. During construction of the school in 1864, Marin county “was hotly pro-Northern, and the fact that several ‘gentlemen’ from the South helped construct the first schoolhouse prompted someone to dare James Miller to name the school ‘Dixie’,” the application reads.

This document doesn’t explain why James Miller chose to name the district Dixie in 1863, but in an oral history archived at the Marin County Library, James Miller’s great-great grandson, Lucien Miller, said James Miller was a Democrat. During the civil war era, southern Democrats favored slavery while the Republican party was the party of Abraham Lincoln.

But opponents of the name change were doing research as well. They found a Miwok Native American woman named Mary Dixie, who lived 140 miles away in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Though James Miller sold cattle in the area where Mary Dixie lived in 1849, there is no record of the man ever meeting the woman they believe to be the school district’s namesake.

“Why is one story more believable than the other? Neither one has any proof,” the We Are Dixie representative said. “The granddaughter said it was named on a dare, but she was born after he died. It was family folklore.”

Those behind We Are Dixie don’t believe that James


Miller or his family had Confederate sympathies, and they argue that changing the name will only serve to minimize his contributions.

For Glickman, the school board trustee who pushed for the name change, nothing better captured the crux of the whole fight than the fact that the opponents to the name change named their group We Are Dixie. She felt that they saw themselves as this name, as this place, as the founder, and that to call out the word’s Confederate and racist roots was akin to calling them racist.

At the very least, the fight unearthed something ugly in Marin county, and not just from the civil war era.

“I was the target ofof Obama voters in the state,” he said. “There are contradictions. It’s a different kind of bigotry. They like to project themselves as progressive and liberal, but they are blind to blatant racism.”

The We Are Dixie group maintains that it was the Change The Name team that deployed bullying tactics. All sides hope to move forward from the nastiness and find a new name before the start of the next school year.

A proposal to rename the school district after Mary Dixie, the Miwok woman who the We Are Dixie group believes the school district was originally named after, was rejected in an earlier effort.


Terrorists, enjoying full support of the rulers, are on the run as they have been facing a major defeat. Defeating terrorists means a big defeat to the rulers of the world. Now this is an established fact that terrorists are the creation of rulers, whether they have been ruling Paksitan or United States. According to tribesmen, the rulers should not be given a second chance to play another game. The tribesmen are ready to fight along side the US forces against the terrorists. Terrorists are the common enemies of the whole world.

The News International discussed the issue in its editorial.The shootout witnessed in Tuesday evening, involving large contingents of police and Rangers against militants holed up in a building in the Shah Latif area in the heart ofKarachi, shows once more that the militants now not only operate from remote mountain areas but have occupied strongholds in our largest cities as well. The three-hour long gun battle in Karachi left six people -- two policemen and four militants -- dead and kept terrorized citizens pinned down within their homes. The militants (four of them have been arrested and a trader apparently abducted by them rescued) are stated by the police to have been members of the banned Jundullah (Army of God) outfit, linked to a number of high-profile terrorist attacks, including ones on the corps commander Karachi and the American consulate in the city that took place in 2004. It is unclear if any of the militants escaped.

What is clear though is that extremist forces


operating through the country in a chain that seems to originate in NWFP, but then snakes its way into towns and cities, have been able to create mayhem everywhere. The scale of this threat has been evident in the seizure of the crucial Kohat Tunnel by militants against whom the armed forces are locked in battle in Darra Adam Khel. The tunnel, a vital communication route, was re-taken only after fierce battle spread out over two days. A bomb killed three people in Peshawar on Wednesday and rocket attacks have been reported at Peshawar Airport. School-children were held hostage in Bannu and thousands displaced across NWFP.

When Madison Hubbell and her partner Zach Donohue compete for gold in pairs ice dancing in PyeongChang, there's no question Madison will be dressed for success. That's thanks to her loving and dedicated mother.

Susan Hubble has worked her entire life to keep her daughter's dream alive.

"I've worked a lot of days and a lot of hours though. A lot of 12 hour days, a lot of days in a row," Susan laughed while sewing inside her Northwest Ohio home.

It was an easy decision to make,once it was clear what young Madison Hubble wanted to do.

"The only thing Maddy was really engaged in was skating. She loved it," Susan recalled. And it was the start of something bigger in the Hubble household.

More than 20 years later, you'll still find the costumes worn by Madison, including the first one made by mom.

"I made her a little white dress and it had lace and rhinestones on it and she was super excited about that," Susan described.

Susan has made all but two of Madison's costumes throughout her entire skating career, including the one she wore during the U.S. Figure Skating Championships.

"I know it means a lot to her and we've had a lot of fun with it...This is my true love," Susan said.

It's also her job.


She's a seamstress working out of her house. But finances were never easy. Along with everything she's had on her plate, for nine years she worked as a waitress in Toledo.

"You go through a lot of money training an Olympic athlete," she said.

With three kids, and now being a grandma for the past 15 months, Susan certainly deserves a medal. The work has paid off as she'll watch her daughter skate in PyeongChang, in a dress she made with her own hands.

History of electric cars

Before discussing the present and future of electric cars, it is worth having a closer look at their past. Electric cars or electric vehicles (EV) are not a novelty as many think. In the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century automobiles propelled by an electric motor were popular in Europe and America. The invention of the acid-lead rechargeable battery by French physicist Gaston Planté in 1859 paved the way for the electric car. The first electric car was built by the English electrical engineer Thomas Parker in 1884. In the US, the first electric car was


created by William Morrison in 1890. The next year German engineer Ferdinand Porsche developed the first hybrid electric car, powered by both electricity and gas.

Initially electric cars were considered cheaper, cleaner, and quieter than the other alternatives. Both in London and New York electric cabs became a popular means of transportation. It is estimated that in 1900 more than third of the cars sold in the US were powered by elecricity, while 40% used steam and only a fifth of them were powered by gasoline.

The advances in car engine technology, and in particular those in the area of internal combustion made the electric alternative less appealing. Gas cars grew in popularity, in particular due to the much quicker and easier refueling process. The processes of mass production bycompanies such as Ford and the fast growing oil industry and gas station infrastructure served to marginalize both electric cars and those powered by steam. In 1920 electric cars went out of production in the US.

In the mid-1950s concerns about air pollution grew. Some companies and government funded institutions in the US initiated research projects to develop new electric cars, such as the 1961 Henney Kilowatt. Unfortunately the performance and practical problems of these cars hindered their commercial success. The oil crises in the 1970s brought back the interest in developing electric cars, but it was not until the 1990s when government agencies and car makers put a serious effort into advancing electric car engine technology.

The Toyota Prius, launched in Japan in 1997 became the first mass produced


hybrid electric car. The Honda Insight also became a success. The rising gas prices as well as the growing concerns with pollution and climate change have since stimulated the market. Most major car manufacturers have launched projects for electric and/or hybrid cars. New companies such as Tesla and Coda Automotive have entered the market. There are currently about fifty different models of electric cars available and different market segments according to cars' speed capabilities, such as low speed neighborhood electric vehicles, city cars, highway capable vehicles, and electric race cars, with a top speed near 120 mph (200 km/h). The future of electric cars seems bright. It is estimated that by 2020 the market share of electric cars will grow to 7% of the global market.

Nearly two months ago, we brought you the story of a progressive Democratic challenger who was going head-to-head with Debbie Wasserman Schultz for her position as Democratic congresswoman in Florida. Tim Canova is new to the political scene but he is not a stranger to the issues that affect his city or its residents.

Canova recognizes in Schultz a quality that we have all come to see in the DNC chair: she is bought and paid for. Schultz is a manipulator who is willing to use the entire Democratic system to get what she wants for her powerful friends, whether that friend is Hillary Clinton or the payday lender lobby.

When it came to light that Schultz was actively trying to destroy the agency that Elizabeth Warren had created whichprojects, including Toronto’s Crosstown, Finch Ave. West, and Sheppard Ave. East lines. The Finch line is also slated to open in 2021, and could be served by the same Bombardier vehicles. Completion of the Sheppard LRT has been deferred indefinitely.

Bombardier was originally supposed to deliver the first pilot vehicle in the spring of 2014. The date was later pushed back to the spring of 2015, but that timeline was also missed.

Toronto transit users are still dealing with repeated delays to the TTC’s order for a new fleet of Bombardier streetcars. Under the original terms of the $1.2-billion contract, the company was to have delivered 109 of the streetcars to the TTC by the end of this year. So far, only 22 service-ready vehicleshave arrived.

In April, the company set a new target of supplying a total of 30 of the vehicles by the end of 2016. Lefebvre told the Star Bombardier is on track to meet that end-of-year quota, and to deliver all 204 new TTC streetcars by 2019.

Asked whether the TTC is confident the vehicles will arrive on time, agency spokesman Brad Ross said that in meetings with Bombardier, TTC CEO Andy Byford has reinforced “that they must meet 30 by year-end, but also that he wants to see a delivery schedule that shows improved delivery in 2017. He also reiterates, at every opportunity, that the 2019 end date for delivery of all 204 cars is not to slip.”

Of all the many candidates in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary field, few others have experienced such a pronounced disconnect between the size and enthusiasm of their crowds in South Carolina and their standing in the polls here as O'Rourke.

Some candidates have received both big crowds and rising poll numbers. Many have received neither. But O'Rourke straddles an uncomfortable space in between.

While he consistently draws hundreds of intrigued voters to his events, polls have found that his support in the early-primary state has nevertheless dropped below the levels he held before even entering the race,


when people like Brown were yearning for him to run.

Despite those setbacks, O'Rourke expressed little frustration in an interview with The Post and Courier following another energetic town hall this week at Seminar Brewing in Florence — and he remained patiently optimistic that the enduring interest in his campaign would eventually translate into supporters.

"What I've learned in the campaigns that I've run before is it's in part a function of time," O'Rourke said. "My hope is that folks who saw something they liked, heard something that resonated with their lives and what they want to see for the country are going to go back and tell their friends and family."

He cited two of his previous underdog campaigns — a 2012 primary victory over Democratic incumbent U.S. Rep. SilvestreReyes in El Paso and the narrow loss to Cruz last year — as proof that he can eventually change the dynamics of a race if he sticks at it.

When O'Rourke launched his long-shot bid against Cruz, he was so little-known that a Texas GOP spokesman responded at the time with a single word: "Who?"

But he eventually went from "a small pimple in the polling universe" to a serious challenger attracting national attention, in part due to his oft-stated approach of "going everywhere and meeting everyone" to try to make personal connections.

"That's my premise, and it really will be seen whether that is borne out in our success," O'Rourke said. "I believe in a democracy that you connect, reach out and listen to people and include them in


in the Democratic primary.

"He restored my faith," Brown said. "He was exactly what I had been reading about and seeing on television at the start. He's personable. He listens. He's passionate. He's someone who's truly about creating change."

As O'Rourke walked out of the classroom at Benedict, Brown stopped the candidate to briefly tell him how he felt.

"I was with you at the beginning, and then I strayed away," Brown said. "But I'm back."some of Japan's greater animating names.

The film sees the fate of a crumbling world lie on the shoulders of angst-ridden teenagers who pilot high-powered, surreal androids against 'Angels' that seek to destroy the Earth, all while dealing with their own issues of abandonment, identity and alienation.

The burden of the future and the stolen innocence of the young are symbolically typified across the film as the protagonists are often viewed as fragile and child-like aside a monstrous palette of destruction on their behalf. Piloting their super-suits threatens to pull away their humanity ...

Evangelion is directed, produced and written by Hideaki Anno whose original claim to fame came from working with acclaimed anime aficionado, Hayao Miyazaki (creator of the Oscar-winning Spirited Away). Anno originally worked on Miyazaki's Nausicaa of the


consumer-driven society take a resounding stomp back into its own territory. Anime is partly turned against itself, while at the same time is revitalised.

There's plenty of fan service thrown in as the film lives up the series for followers of the saga, but the details swallow a lot of the narrative. Flooded with religious and spiritual metaphors and blathering that bleed over a lot of the storytelling, it tends to convolute an already over encumbered story. The layered detail does lead to poignant peaks though, and there are many gripping moments that resonate long after the scene fades to black.

Evangelion pushes the envelope for the typical anime/sci-fi portfolio, and throws viewers straight into the running story of the first Evangelion and the series.

The move ensures consistency with a key element of the England DNA document which outlines the need for young players to be exposed to a comprehensive and varied games programme as early as possible in their international career.

The Victory Shield pitted England against the Home Nations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland but there is now fresh emphasis on the need for young Three Lions to face European and world opposition to further aid their development as an international footballer.

The investigation will increase pressure on Sorrell, who is already feeling the strain as WPP’s share price has tumbled almost 40% in the last year to its lowest point since 2013.

The price slump has wiped £9bn off the value of the business, which owns 406 separate advertising and marketing firms in more than 100 countries, including top-flight brands such as Ogilvy & Mather and J Walter Thompson. It has 134,000 staff.

WPP recently reported its worst performance since the advertising recession in 2009, which Sorrell described as “not a pretty year”.

the number of age-eligible children born in the year after introduction (i.e. the new birth cohort) as the demand, and factor in wastage and a buffer stock to estimate the number of doses received in Year 1. However, the actual demand for vaccines may also include a 'backlog cohort', the older children who are eligible for vaccination at the time of introduction. For instance, the routine immunization schedules in Ethiopia and in Malawi stipulate that children be vaccinated with the first dose of PCV at 6 weeks of age, but children remain eligible for this vaccine until their first birthday. Thus, children younger than 6 weeks at the time of introduction and those born in the year after introduction are part of the 'new birth cohort'. But childrenpost-PCV launch (November 2011--October 2012) and then again for 6 months post-Rota launch (October 2012--March 2013). Each immunization is recorded on one line of the facility register with date of vaccination and the birthdate of the receiving child. These records were captured for all days within the two time periods. It was not possible in Malawi to track vaccinations received by a single child over time, as this is not recorded. Our data are therefore cross-sectional in nature.

To ensure data were collected from a representative sample of health facilities, a multi-stage cluster sampling approach was used to independently sample health facilities from within Ethiopia and Malawi. Sample size calculations were performed to estimate a precise point estimate of vaccine coverage. In Ethiopia, sampling occurred throughout five regions based


records from paper-based child health registers. Data from photographs were double entered in Microsoft Excel or CSPro and exported to a customized Excel database.

Data
----

Within Ethiopia, data collection began in January 2012 and was completed in February 2013. Overall, a total of 102 health facilities were sampled to obtain the sample size of 1152 children. Within Malawi, data were collected at 41 facilities from January 2012 to April 2013 for PCV and April 2013 to January 2014 for Rota. During the data collection period, the catchment area of one of the 42 sampled health facilities in Malawi was consumed by another facility included in this study.

Total administrations of the first dose of PCV (PCV1) and Rota (Rota1) were used as the main indicators of demand for the new vaccines.for Rota1 vaccination (up to 15 weeks instead of 1 year), in Malawi, the backlog cohort consisted of all children aged 6--15 weeks on the date of launch.

To describe the pattern of demand, several key factors were characterized from the collected data. The months since launch were categorized based on the launch date for the facility in Ethiopia and on the national launch dates for PCV and Rota in Malawi. To characterize the number of people seen in any given day per facility regardless of vaccine type, the total number of children who received at least one vaccination per day per facility type was calculated. In Ethiopia, to characterize drop-out rates (proportion of children receiving PCV1 but not PCV3), children were categorized by their completion of the PCV


were larger during the first month of PCV introduction: the average daily number of immunizations provided increased by 20% and 56% in Ethiopian health centres and Malawian hospitals, respectively. The average number of vaccinations provided remained higher than normal during the first 3 months of introduction, due to continued demand from the backlog cohort. Rota was introduced with narrower age restrictions, had a lower excess demand from the backlog cohort, and therefore, did not appear to have an impact on the average daily number of immunizations provided as observed at health facilities. Labour cost accounts for an important share of total costs for immunization. In their study on costing and financing of routine immunization and new vaccines (EPIC) in six countries, [@czv103-B4] estimated that the value of labourthe scope of my official air force duties and under color of my office as a military enlisted member." Plaintiff further notes that Moore's declaration was made after his military non-judicial punishment, in which he accepted a reduction in grade and discharge, as punishment for his indecent assault on and communication of indecent language to Plaintiff.
Based on her memorandum, Plaintiff appears to rely on the doctrine of judicial estoppel to support her argument that the Government should be precluded from asserting that Moore acted outside of the scope of his employment. "Judicial estoppel generally prevents a party from prevailing in one phase of a case on an argument and then relying on a contradictory argument to prevail in another phase." Pegram v. Herdrich, 530 U.S. 211, 120 S.Ct.

"Acting in line of duty" for purposes of this section means acting within the scope of employment based on the applicable state law of respondeat superior. Chandonais v. United States, 1991 WL 93096, *1 (6th Cir. June 3, 1991).
In the present case, Plaintiff initially brought claims against the United States under the FTCA, based on the conduct of Conner and Moore. She alsostored. Pat was unusually quiet during this time. I entered the back room of the upper warehouse and when I turned to leave Pat grabbed me. He grabbed me with his right had and pressed my body against his. He took his left and pressed my pelvis against his. I believe he had an erection. Pat then took his right hand and ran it up under my shirt and bra. He then began trying to kiss me and further force himself upon me. My immediate reaction was one of shock. I twisted away from him and ran downstairs and outside. As I was running away he called after me and stated, "Come back. We can go to 2nd on the list and you don't have to take your


clothes off for that." I didn't reply, I just kept on going. I remained outside and smoked a couple of cigarettes (approximately 15-20 minutes). When Pat emerged he was very apologetic. He was tripping over himself saying he was sorry, so very, very sorry. I believed him when he said it was a one time incident, it would never happen again and that he was extremely sorry. He then stated he just wanted to finish up so we could get out of there. I had my hands on the staircase railing when we entered the building again. Almost immediately after reentering the building Pat grabbed me and started pulling on me, to get me up the stairs. I continued to hold tight to the railing. Pat kept saying,constituted an assault. In particular, his actions in the boiler room and in the warehouse, in which he grabbed Plaintiff and fondled her, were clearly done to satisfy his sexual desires, and not to further the Government's business. Because Moore's conduct was not within the scope of his employment, the Government cannot be liable for that conduct under the FTCA.[7]
As to the inappropriate comments, gestures, and stares, Moore's behavior occurred during work hours and at his work location. However, his actions were not related, in any way, to the kind of work which he is employed to perform. In addition, Plaintiff has stated that Moore informed her that his motivation when he engaged in sexually suggested behavior was to go after something he wanted. There is no evidence


that he was motivated, in any way, to facilitate or promote the Government's business. Accordingly, the Court concludes that Moore did not act within the scope of his employment, when he allegedly sexually harassed and assaulted Plaintiff. Because Moore's conduct was not within the scope of his employment, Moore's conduct does not fall within the coverage of the FTCA, and the Government may not be held liable for it. The Motion of the United States for summary judgment on Plaintiff's intentional infliction of emotional distress claim, based on the conduct of Patrick Moore, is SUSTAINED.
As stated above, because Moore's conduct occurred outside of the scope of his employment, the government may not be held liable for his conduct, even if it meets the standard for "extreme and outrageousMeet and mingle with Ernest Hemingway's grandson

Have you ever wished you could sit down and have a conversation with literary giant Ernest Hemingway?

Since the Nobel Prize-winning author is not available, many would also find a conversation with his grandson quite intriguing.

John Hemingway, son of Ernest's son Gregory, will be on hand Oct. 10 at Rosemary Beach.

Although born and raised in Miami, Hemingway has never visited the Florida Panhandle, he told The Sun.

Born in 1960, Ernest committed suicide in 1961, when John was 11 months old. He is often asked to talk about his famous grandfather, whom he never met, but feels like he understands.

He remembers being about 10 years old when he first heard of his famous grandfather, but the enormity of the name he carries and the


legacy did not sink in until after he had graduated from college and was traveling in Europe in the 1980s.

While John knew about his grandfather's accomplishments early on, it was only later that he was hit by the fact that many people almost worshipped his grandfather.

"It was humbling. It makes you think about what he had accomplished," he said.

Through the years, John has talked to family members who met and knew his grandfather and could give him insight into the man who is legend.

John has read all his grandfather's writings and says his favorites are his short stories.

Many have researched and examined Hemingway's writings and in turn written about the man, but in penning his own book about him, John looked first and foremost to personal correspondence betweenhis father and his grandfather.

John describes his book "Stranger Tribe: A Family Memoir" as a biography of his father, who was bipolar, and in his later years, referred to himself as Gloria. The book addresses the issue of his father's cross-dressing and sex reassignment and its connection to Ernest Hemingway.

Hemingway said he was close to his father at times, and at times not. From the mid-1980s to the mid-1990s, he was not.

"With him being bipolar, there were plenty of ups and downs," he said.

To understand his father, who died in 2001 at age 69, Hemingway realized he had to write about his grandfather.

To comprehend their relationship, he used a lot of letters they wrote in the 1950s to each other that have never been published before.

"My book took


a departure from the average Hemingway memoir," he said. "I don't see my father as a black sheep. I see him as a logical extension of his father. My grandfather experimented with words and my father experimented with his body."

Gregory had a series of five operations to attempt to alter his sexuality.

"But he remains my father," said John. "I did not think I had two mothers. The person is the person. Although at times he thought he was a freak."

John believes his father, like Ernest, suffered from deep clinical depression and when he was in the mildly manic phase, he was creative. He says it was while in one of the periods of deep depression that his grandfather killed himself. He believes the mental struggles may have complicatedthe sexual identity confusion in his father.

"My father was born in 1931. At that time there was no help except for Lithium. You just deal with it," he said.

Even though his mother also had mental problems, John has escaped the curse. He has two children, a boy and a girl, ages 16 and 10.

"They know who he (their great grandfather) is. But it's not something that stands at the center of their existence. They are normal kids," he said.

During his research prior to writing his memoir, John said he learned a lot about his grandfather, with the most interesting coming from his posthumously published "The Garden of Eden," which hit shelves in 1986.

"This book basically caused a literary tidal wave," said John. "Before release of this work he


was largely viewed as a lover of women, wine, a fisherman, a macho man. Doing a 180-degree turn people then saw a macho man with a twist — macho revolutionalized. They asked themselves if this was a writer they did not know."

"He was the student of a lesbian who sent him to see bull fights where the groom is symbolized by a bull and the bride by the bullfighter. After the dance the sword is inserted. It touched upon his ideas of the union between male and female. It made sense," he continued. "There have been thousands of books published and interest in everything he has written about. He made Pamplona famous and it became a world-wide event."

The evolution of the highway straight-edge has led to the use of extruded magnesium tubing of rectangular cross section to act as a beam. Low weight and relative rigidity makes this material suitable for the application.

This normal wearing away of material from the contact face brings about an asymmetric cross section of material about the original neutral axis of the tube.

Blockbuster movie The Martian has inspired Nasa to release photos showing real-life locations from the film on the Red Planet.

Two landing sites for the Ares 3 and Ares 4 missions depicted in the movie can be seen in the images beamed to Earth by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft.

The first is on a Martian plain known as Acidalia Planitia and the other within a 285-mile wide crater called Schiaparelli.

Other locations relevant tothe story can also be seen in the pictures taken by the orbiter’s High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRise) camera.

They are available for anyone to explore here.

In The Martian, Matt Damon plays Nasa astronaut Mark Watney, who finds himself stranded on the Red Planet after a powerful dust storm.

The film, directed by Ridley Scott, is based on the debut novel of American author Andy Weir.

Much of the action takes place in Acidalia Planitia, which the book describes as “flat and easy to drive over”.

But according to Nasa, the region is far more hazardous and difficult to navigate in real life. Images of localities close to the Ares 3 landing site show numerous mounds and “dense fields” of boulders up to several metres high.

relations in a nutshell: Yeltsin good, Putin bad

The interference, of course, goes back a century, with the US intervention in the Russia of 1917, as part of an alliance of the imperial powers to destroy the revolution and put in place a nice, subservient puppet government that would end any thought of communism, the new enemy of the imperialists.

But this conspiracy did not end with the communist collapse in 1991 (which also was very much brought about by US efforts). The most outrageous interference was propping up the addled, drunken Yeltsin and his “Democratic Russia”, both in his destruction of the first ‘democratic’ parliament in 1993, and ensuring his reelection in 1996. Yeltsin spent from $700 million to $2.5 billion. Guess who filled his coffers (and helped atinto a more palatable Medvedev. But he was still smart, patriotic Putin, now acting as prime minister. Not what the US ordered. Still, the arrival of the friendly, meek Dmitri Medvedev as president was a good sign. US democracy-promoting NGOs proliferated. (National Democratic Institute, National Endowment for Democracy, Soros’s Open Society, USAID, etc.)

As National Security Council adviser on Russia, Michael McFaul advised Obama to mark the transition from Putin to Medvedev with a metaphorical ‘reset’ button in 2009, hoping to lure Medvedev into breaking from Putin and bringing Russia back into the US fold as a NATO groupie. As a Russia expert, McFaul provided the translation for the word ‘reset’ as peregruzka.

When secretary of state Clinton presented an actual button marked ‘reset/peregruzka’ to Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, he

Yes. Trump was undermined in his plans right from before the word ‘go’, from September 2016, as soon as he won. The deep state was so terrified, there was even the threat of a coup against Trump the moment he was sworn in, with rumours of using Section 4 of the 25th Amendment of the US constitution, in case of a president who was deemed ‘unwell’. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein discussed just that possibility in 2017, in the days after Trump fired FBI director James Comey.

More recently, in April 2019, Trump described the investigation by former FBI director Robert Mueller as “an attemptedAuthor's infos

Introduction:

Jay and Chris had been together for a while, but they were looking for something new...

Jay and Chris had been roommates in their freshman year of college. After discovering the other was also gay, they embarked on a relationship that had lasted throughout their college days. They were now ending their junior year and were still going strong. One issue, however: the sex. Young and hung, their sexual preference with each other was often. But lately, there hadn't been as much fire in their sex. They needed something to spice things up.
It wasn't that they were tired of each others' bodies. Jay was shorter than Chris, had chestnut hair, hazel eyes, a tan, and was a tennis instructor, so he had a great body: six-pack, adonis belt,


the works. Chris, taller with blond hair and blue eyes, had a lean swimmer's body, thin but built. No, they did not tire of seeing each others' sexy builds, but they both began to feel that their fucking was too routine. They needed more to keep their passion going.
Then came the wedding. Jay's older sister was getting married to her longtime boyfriend. Jay's family, an open, accepting group, invited Chris to come along as Jay's wedding date. The two young men sat together at the ceremony, holding hands. As Chris surveyed the wedding guests, someone on the groom's side caught his eye. It was Bo, the groom's little brother. He was a senior at high school. He had dirty blond hair, ocean blue eyes, and a surfer's tan.yet couldn't keep the excitement out of his voice.
"C'mon, it'll be awesome!" Jay's excitement made him seem younger. He pulled Chris to him. Chris could feel Jay's stiffening cock against his thigh under his tux pants. At full mast it was about 6.5". Excited, Chris's own rod began to harden to it's full 7". Chris nodded in submission. Together they swerved around a corner to an empty church corridor. They quickly found an empty classroom used for Sunday School. Jay closed the door. In a flash, his pants were undone and his cock folded out. He licked his lips, staring at his lover.
Chris undid his belt and slid his pants down. Jay grabbed Chris's boxer shorts and pulled them off as well. Now, both men were standing there,


naked from the waist down. Chris's dick was still hardening. Jay got to his knees and sped up the process. He grabbed Chris's shaft with one hand. While stroking it, he licked the head. Chris moaned. "Oh god yeah," he whispered. Jay continued, pulling a lubed condom out of his pocket. He had brought it just in case his plan had worked. Lo and behold it had. Chris moaned louder, his hands reached for the back of Jay's head. Before they got there, a voice yelled, "What the hell are you guys doing!?!?"
Chris looked up, shocked. Jay's head shot around. Bo was standing in the doorway. He yelled again, "What do you fags think you're doing? Do you have any idea where you are?"
"Hey!" yelled Jay, "Mind yourI've thought about it- maybe- I don't know-" Bo's stammering was cut off when Chris leaned in and kissed him. After a few seconds, Bo gave in and began kissing back; their lips, their tongues caressed each other.
Jay stared at the two, stunned. He had never seen this side of his boyfriend before. But it was hotter than anything he had ever seen. His rod began to turn rock solid again. "Let's show him what we can do," he piped up.
The two led Bo to the back wall where he had caught them before. "I don't know about this guys," He protested. But Jay was in the game now, too. He quickly had Bo's pants around his ankles.
"Let me have his cock," Jay told Chris. Jay was on


his knees again. Chris swiveled Bo around. Bo's cock was still growing. Jay stroked it and engulfed it in his mouth.
Bo moaned loudly as it went in, "Oh my god.... oh that's good... slowly," He was in ecstasy.
Jay licked up and down Bo's shaft, then started tonguing his balls. He kept moaning.
Jay stopped. He threw a condom to Chris. "Give it to him..."
"You want me to fuck you?" asked Bo, his eyes shining.
"No," said Jay. He pointed to Chris. "He's fucking you..."
"No..." said Bo nervously. I think this has gone far enough, I don't think- ohhhhh" his protests were replaced by moans of pleasure as Chris rubbed a lubed finger along his ass hole.
"You know this is what you want..." Whispered Chris. Bo whimpered. Chris began inserting theyou inside of me when I cum!"
Hearing the kid say this aroused the college boys further. Jay was so hard from seducing and servicing the boy that he felt he could blow his load at any moment. "Give it to him, Chris!"
Chris shoved his cock deep inside Bo. Bo howled. Chris stayed for a minute, savoring the ecstasy of his dick in Bo's ass, with Bo whimpering and Jay in front of them jerking off. "Ok," said Bo.
Chris began thrusting. Bo's cock stayed hard as iron as it flopped around from Chris's thrusting. Bo yelled and yelled in pure pleasure and grabbed his cock. "I'm gonna cum!"
"Me too, kid!" yelled Jay.
Jay opened his mouth in front of Bo's dick just as it spat semen. The cum landed on


his face and in his mouth. Jay swallowed it as more cum shot out of Bo's cock onto his face. Seconds later, Jay's own cock exploded all over his belly. Torrents of cum gushed out. Bo, still being fucked and loving every minute of it, leaned over and licked his own cum off of Jay's face, then gave Jay a deep kiss.
Chris moaned louder. He could not believe how hot this all was. "It's my turn, I think I'm cumming!"
He pulled out of Bo and ripped the condom off. Bo instinctively turned around and kneeled. Cum gushed out of Chris's dick as Chris shouted aloud. It splattered all over Bo's torso, face, and the collar of his shirt.
"Ohhhhh, yesss," said Chris.

Controversial businessman Arron Banks is facing questions from anti-corruption campaigners over a valuable uncut diamond from South Africa that he may have smuggled out of the country, evading thousands of pounds in taxes and flouting controls on the international movement of diamonds set up to prevent the sale of “conflict gems”.

The allegations, made by Forensics for Justice, are based on an email from Banks to a business partner, which the organisation says it collected from the recipient. It forms part of a dossier it compiled this year on Banks’s business dealings in South Africa and Lesotho.

The non-profit group, committed to investigating claims of corruption across Africa, says it spent months digging into Banks’s business dealings. It has reported him and business associates to authorities in Britain and SouthAfrica, claiming its evidence suggests links to crimes relating to diamonds and corruption.

The Observer has learned that the National Crime Agency, which is investigating the source of Banks’s £8m donation to a Brexit campaign, has made enquiries about his business dealings in the region. Banks has said previously that the money he donated to Brexit came from his UK businesses, and there is no suggestion it came from southern Africa.

Banks had previously admitted, in a BBC interview, putting money into the personal account of a government minister in Lesotho, where he was trying to secure a mining licence, but denied the money amounted to corruption.

His former business partner Chris Kimber has claimed to South African police that Banks “was involved in illicit diamond buying in various African countries”,

Local lawmen try to get reconsideration of ONP tickets

(Port Angeles) – Tickets issued to local residents for using Olympic National Park during the government shutdown will stand.

Port Angeles police chief Terry Gallagher and Clallam County sheriff Bill Benedict contacted the US Attorney seeking to get the tickets overturned. They were unsuccessful.

The tickets were issued last weekend as a Port Angles took six international college and high school students to visit Marymere Falls.

During the visit, she and another park visitor, were cited by Park Ranger Jennifer Jackson for violating the closure order for the park.

The citation carries a 125-dollar fine, and requires that a person drive to Tacoma if they wish to fight the citation in federal court.

Chief Terry Gallagher told KONP he thought the waystops the quotation there but I believe that the final two lines of the poem –

_I have no child, I have nothing but a book_ ,

_Nothing but that to prove your blood and mine –_

had been firmly established in his mind for more than twenty years. Writing to John Quinn in January 1919 about the importance of publishing a volume in America to show his parents that he was right in choosing the literary life in London against their opposition, Eliot says, "This book is all I have to show for my claim – it would go toward making my parents contented with conditions – and towards satisfying them that I have not made a mess of my life, as they are inclined to believe" ( _Letters_ 1,


Eliot may also have had in mind his efforts to renew poetic drama. In 1923, noting modern drama's lack of rhythm, Eliot declared that each generation of playwrights had to find "a more plausible reason for beating a drum. Shakespeare and Racine – or rather the developments which led up to them – each found his own reason. The reasons may be divided into tragedy and comedy. We still have similar reasons, but we have lost the drum. "11

_Sweeney Agonistes_ tried to realize this idea. Eliot's most bizarre use of American popular culture precedes another vaudeville song in "Fragment of an Agon," where a stage direction calls for "Swarts as Tambo. Snow as Bones." Named for the tambourine and bones they played as they joked, danced, and sangwith its cargo of dead negroes, cows and chicken coops

"Cargo" shares "r," "g," and "o" sounds with "Negro," and begins an alliterative series with "cows" and "coops." These dead join a crew of Eliot's drowned corpses: the last lines in "Prufrock" present the image first, but "worried bodies of drowned men" drift through "Mr. Apollinax," followed by Bleistein and Phlebas.

As if the image were not chilling enough, it also has a historical dimension, Gothicism transmuted into realism while remaining hellish, grotesque, unbelievable. Besides denying people the fruits of their labor, slavery sanctioned their sale at an owner's whim. Among the worst fates a slave could suffer was to be "sold down the river," shipped to a sugar-cane plantation on the lower Mississippi where work was hardest and conditions


from first to last. (One remembers Lord Claverton proposing to sit "side by side, at little desks" with his son, to "suffer the same humiliations / At the hands of the same master." Not much of a model of education, one has to say.)

In the case of _The Rock_ (1934), belief in the audience's infirmity goes so far as to determine genre itself, the pageant or Cochrane-style revue being a form which has _already_ judged its spectators deficient in staying-power. And while Eliot and E. Martin Browne, in a program summary, describe it as portraying the Church "opposed, ignored, or interfered with by the secular tendencies of the present age," the pageant itself finds so little value in secular life at any time that it is a mystery,various modes of Eliot's earlier work into the state somewhere between obsession and prayer that characterizes the mythic mindscape of _The Waste Land._ In the earlier writing we find Prufrock's psychological pathos conjoined with poems like "Preludes" that tease out the unbearable tensions between what can and cannot be objectified; then we see those states abstracted into the surreal spaces of the quatrain poems. _The Waste Land_ does not quite integrate these modes, but it does put them into conjunctions that reveal the unsatisfied desires underlying them and the possibility, almost entirely destroyed, of a spiritual life available in the interstices of all our expressive vehicles. Literalness to the emotional complexes beneath our ideas of selves opens for poetry the possibility of a romance of the negative, of


Modernism to Postmodernism in the reception and construction of Eliot.

FULL OF HIGH SENTENCE

At its simplest, Eliot's use of quotations in both the poetry and the criticism can be taken as a sign of erudition, therefore as a mark of elite authority. Many students react this way, either in awe or hostility. Faced with the final lines of _The Waste Land_ or even the epigraph to _Prufrock_ , such readers may enjoyably succumb (the poetry _can_ communicate before it is understood), or they may blankly decline to proceed or else reach defensively for a copy of Southam's _Students' Guide to the Selected Poems of T. S. Eliot._ Eliot's characteristic mode and tone in his critical essays can seem similarly gnomic or hermetic, superciliously dismissive of readers struggling to becomeCommitment Part Of Love

At the age of 40 I wanted more and knew I deserved more, and so unhappily I ended the relationship. I mourned for him for a year, with him calling me intermittently, having occasional dates. I was still very much in love with him, and I guess I still hoped he would come to his senses.

Enrique Semo and the Limits of Neoliberalism II

In the second and final part of his essay entitled ‘Los límites del neoliberalism’ in the Mexican weekly magazine Proceso (14 April), the historian Enrique Semo has delivered an excoriating critique of the iniquities of capitalism.

As detailed in my earlier blog entry, Semo has crafted the rise of neoliberalism in Mexico as the latest in a series of revolutions from above or, drawing from the Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci, as successive passive revolutions that have shaped Mexican state formation. Instances of passive revolution involve a contradictory combination of forces – merging processes of revolution and restoration – to result ultimately in the continuation of the old political order and, commonly, the furtherance of capitalist accumulation processes.

According to Semo, neoliberalismis the latest epoch of passive revolution in the history of Mexico (1982-2012), following the eighteenth century era of Bourbon reforms from 1780 to 1810; and the dictatorship of Porfirio Díaz in the years 1880 to 1910. ‘Like in the past’, Semo writes, ‘Mexico continues to be a dependent country in which the great impulses of change do not come from its internal reality, but are subordinate to the movements whose epicentre is the developed countries’. Perhaps there is an echo here of Gramsci’s own comment in the Prison Notebooks on the condition of passive revolution as a situation when ‘the impetus of progress is not tightly linked to a vast local economic development . . . but is instead the reflection of international developments which transmit their


transnational capital; something graphically captured in the cartoon accompanying Semo’s second essay in Proceso - reproduced above – of the statue of the Angel of Independence in Mexico City (completed in 1910) ignominiously bundled into a contemporary shopping trolley.

Just as Stuart Hall recently relayed and demolished the geopolitical and country-specific long march of the ‘neoliberal revolution’ in the UK, then Semo has equally presented with both skill and sophistication the main contours and injustices of neoliberalism in Mexico.

For Semo, one of the main challenges to this revolution from above called neoliberalism is the popular expression of democracy, despite massive electoral fraud in Mexico in 1988 and 2006. Indeed, one of the key findings in my book Revolution and State in Modern Mexico: The Political Economy of Uneven DevelopmentHollywood takes on the Civil War

On the heels of the Civil War's 150th anniversary come film and TV projects from Robert Redford, Carlton Cuse and others that may take a page from the richer, and darker, narratives being uncovered.

Of course, the war between the North and South over slavery and states' rights has for decades supplied a bottomless well of drama — and potential profit — for storytellers. But the new wave of projects is coming at a time when researchers raised in the post-Vietnam era have revolutionized Civil War scholarship with a richer, and darker, understanding of a struggle most Americans probably still know best from high-school history courses.

Details of much of the new writing is under wraps and in other cases still evolving, but whatever material


is produced is bound to help re-shape Hollywood's legacy on an endlessly reinterpreted crisis in the country's history. It's still unclear, for example, how the new fare will deal with the subject of race, which has occupied historians for decades over its precise role in the conflict, but which popular entertainment has largely skirted.

A key problem, Blight noted, was the "Lost Cause" mythology, which was promoted by Southern writers in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and depicted the Confederacy as a noble and idyllic civilization vanquished by impossible odds. In some viewers' minds, the notion of sumptuous plantations filled with contented, wisecracking slaves still persists.

In the last 20 or 30 years, though, scholars who lived through the country's Vietnam experience began to look at the muchgame that they got blown out in (indicating that multiple drives ended with turnovers) at the very least Punter Tress Way looked to have regained the impressive form he had for most of last season, averaging 53 yards and pinning the Panthers deep in their own territory three times with puns inside the 20.

NEW YORK - As the first YouTube Music Awards came to a close Sunday night, creative director Spike Jonze thanked the powers that be at the video-sharing website for "letting us make this mess. " He couldn't have chosen a more apt word. The inaugural 90-minute webcast, held in New York City and hosted by actor Jason Schwartzman and comedian Reggie Watts, was conceived as a more spontaneous answer to the Grammys or the Video Music Awards, one in keeping with the anarchic spirit of the Internet.

The Grammys have the unrivaled prestige. The MTV Video Music Awards go for unpredictable, deliciously viral irreverence. And the BET, Billboard Music and American Music awards are better known for A-list performers than who wins which trophies. So what will the inauguralYouTube Music Awards look like on (potentially) millions of computer screens Sunday? Well, no one actually knows -- yet. There are awards, with honors handed out in six categories including video and artist of the year, YouTube phenomenon, and innovation of the year.

The event: The "Grand Inaugural Gala" to celebrate the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills. Presented by Salvatore Ferragamo, the affair came with cocktails, a gala dinner, fashion show of the Italian designer's latest collection and the first-ever performance in the Center's 500-seat Bram Goldsmith Theater. The setting: The brand new "Wallis," designed by architect Zoltan Pali of SPF:architects to incorporate the city's Italian Renaissance-style post office and temporarily house a pop-up Ferragamo boutique.

April Ross and Jennifer Kessy got their redemption Sunday.


After the top-ranked pairing lost in the Round of 32 at the FIVB Grand Slam of beach volleyball Thursday, they rallied from behind to win the inaugural World Series Cup in Long Beach on Sunday. “We brought home the World Series Cup for the U.S. and that's a big deal,” Kessy said. “We're going to have our names on there first. Hopefully this is going to be a really long tradition, and April and my name will always be at the top, which is really exciting.” Ross and Kessy defeated Taiana Lima and Talita Antunes of Brazil, 15-21, 21-18, 17-15, in the World Series Cup final after winning the semifinal against Kerri Walsh Jennings and Whitney Pavlik in similar fashion Saturday.

Sixteen years ago, Tina Thompson was sitting ina law school preparation class in her senior year at USC when a WNBA official left a voicemail inviting her to play for the new league. Thompson had always wanted to be an attorney, so she was hesitant to go in another direction. "They weren't offering very much money," Thompson recalled. "I think the initial offer that the WNBA offered me was below the poverty line in California. " But a few hours before the inaugural WNBA draft in 1997, Thompson decided that she couldn't pass on an opportunity to play for a pro sports league that was backed by the NBA. The Houston Comets made her the first player chosen.

Los Angeles and the red carpet fashion parade did not disappoint. Among our favorites were Janelle Monae in a white Dolce & Gabbana suit, Kat Graham in a black Versace mini-dress, and Gabrielle Union in a sleek red strapless Zac Posen dress (with NBA player Dwyane Wade on her arm).

Jimmy Kimmel may not be able to fight City Hall, but now he's played there. The ABC late-night host served as the official emcee at the swearing-in of Mayor Eric Garcetti, which took place amid sweltering heat in downtown Los Angeles late Sunday afternoon. Ever mindful of political realities, Kimmel blamed the heat on the previous administration. He praisedGarcetti's down-to-earth roots. "He is truly a man of the people," Kimmel told the crowd. "His parents were people. His grandparents were people.

Los Angeles is about to swear in its 42nd mayor in a ceremony now underway on the front steps of City Hall, even though Mayor-elect Eric Garcetti officially took the oath Friday from City Clerk June Lagmay. Hundreds of onlookers are watching from VIP seats on Spring Street or standing on the sloping lawn of Grand Park across the way. After the new mayor, six new City Council members, a new city attorney and city controller are administered their oaths, Garcetti will deliver a speech intended to set the stage for his four-year term.

The person who will administer the oath of office to Mayor-elect Eric Garcetti


is not a judge or another politician but a 13-year-old girl who first met him nine years ago. Kenia Castillo, an eighth-grader at Luther Burbank Magnet Middle School, said she was 4 when she encountered Garcetti outside City Hall at a Justice For Janitors rally. She attended that event with her mother, a janitor, and more recently volunteered for his mayoral campaign. Although she doesn't remember much from that first meeting, the Westlake resident said she is excited to be taking part in Sunday's ceremony.

To better connect with diverse, tech-savvy constituents, Mayor-elect Eric Garcetti on Saturday announced two new digital tools for his inaugural celebration. The first tool is hashtag #lamayor, for those who want quick access to his office via Facebook and Twitter.

Ishida seems to be in good friendly terms with Atsushi Nakayama, fellow manga artist in Young Jump and author of Nejimaki Kagyu, who even drew a Tokyo Ghoul illustration as a gift for Ishida's birthday.

Later Sui Ishida returned the favor, as he and other artists each drew an illustration for Nejimaki Kagyu's last chapter.

The mic can play a selection of annoying “baby disco songs,” but it also records voice, which she used to pull all kinds of pranks on us and our guests.

The pink mic had served her well, but she became frustrated with the poor quality and the short recording time. So she wanted to have her own pocket recording studio, just like the one her daddy used to have. (I used to be a podcaster a few years back and now she wanted to have a recording rig of her own.)

I loveA House ethics panel has ended its investigation into disgraced Staten Island congressman Vito Fossella without taking action.

Fossella, 43, was recently sentenced to five days in jail for drunken driving in suburban Virginia back in May. The arrest led to revelations he'd fathered a child from an extramarital affair.

The Republican chose not to seek re-election, and a Democrat won his seat.

The House ethics committee said in a statement Friday it had finished its investigation without recommending action against Fossella. The committee put the matter on hold pending the outcome of the criminal case.

Fossella appealed his conviction, which under Virginia law means he's entitled to a jury trial. He will leave Congress Jan. 3.
