High & Low: Hidden Laptop Desks
Having worked from my small apartment for the past couple of years, I've found it very helpful to be able to close my laptop as a way of leaving the office behind. Taking it one step further, having a desk that can be closed at the end of the day can help create a definitive division between office and home. We've rounded up eight great options — four on the high end (over $1,00) and four on the lower end (under $400) — that are perfect for small space home offices.
High End:
• Hidden Laptop Desk from Son & Dotter — The top of this desk slides to hide the laptop compartment, turning the desk into a console table. $1,600
• Patchwork Secretary from West Elm — By day, with the front door flipped down, it's a desk. At night, with the door closed, it has the appearance of a dresser. $1,399
• The Ledge from Urban Case — The front of this wall-mounted option flips down to reveal a slide out desk tray and cubbies for storage. $1,500
• La Secrete from Ligne Roset — This compact secretary is an all-in-one home office but it can also be closed at the end of the day to become a regular handsome piece of furniture. $4,400
Low End:
• VIKA VEINE from IKEA — The top of this desk flips up to reveal storage and extra work space. $159
• Flip Top Desk from Brookstone — This desk can go from writing table to laptop desk with a flip of the top. $138
• Mojave Flip Top Desk from Apt2B — Although it's shown with a standard monitor in the photo, this desk would be perfectly suited for stashing a laptop at the end of the day. $348
• Intimo Secretary Desk from CB2 — The front of this simple secretary drops down to create a work surface. $399
• Make It Work: 10 Desks for Small Spaces
• Think Thin: Slim Desks for Small Spaces
• Small Desks, Small Budget: 5 Workspaces Under $300
• The Ultra-Compact DIY $47 IKEA Standing Laptop Desk

KUWAIT CITY (AP) – Opposition groups in Kuwait hailed their election boycott as a success Sunday after officials said voter turnout on Saturday was sharply lower than during the last parliamentary races earlier this year.
Kuwait's Ministry of Information said 40.3 percent of eligible voters cast ballots. That compares with nearly 60 percent in the February elections.
As expected, the results point to a solidly pro-government chamber. Three women are among the new 50-seat parliament, which is expected to hold its first session within two weeks after the end of procedural issues to name a new government.
A wide-reaching opposition coalition, including conservative Islamists and Western-leaning liberals, boycotted the vote to protest alleged power abuses by the ruling family. They have vowed to press ahead with street demonstrations despite a ban on major political gatherings in public.
Kuwait's parliament is the most politically powerful among the Gulf Arab states, but the ruling establishment controls all key government posts and policies.

Working on something else in Archaeopteryx, I realized this was hard to read, so I moved it around a little.
At that point it occurred to me I might be able to make it into a method call. And it's true, you can - sort of.
But it's kinda ugly. My goal in the refactor had been to make the code easier to read - but I don't think that
&L{method_call} is easy to read. Arx aliases
lambda to
L so the way you'd normally see that (if anybody normally used it) would be
The parentheses seem to make things better.
The tradeoff: more Lispy, less Perlish.
I think on the whole this refactor improves things but it's hard to say for sure. The code is unusual enough that I don't even know any guidelines or rules of thumb for a situation like this. Honestly, the difference between an instance variable
lambda and a
def method_name is almost entirely a matter of syntax sugar anyway. Sometimes I think Ruby is just a language for people who want to write Lisp they can share with non-Lispers.

I still think it comes from her company though, otherwise I don't see how she would know what to expect.

what puzzle me is since AKB0048 probably screen their trainees, how come they didn't realize who Chieri is?
Being the rich daughter of a big company that fund DES weapons would kinda be a huge flag. Or maybe they know who she is and thought this would be a great addition to have someone with inside knowledge or can incapacitate Chieri's dad to stop supporting DES who's going to hurt his daughter ? Or it's just like "doesn't matter who they are, as long as they wish to sing, they should reach for their dream" or something cheesy like that

I am wondering, though... given that the understudies will eventually become successors and take on the successor's name and all, wouldn't it be a bit counterproductive for them to be known to the public by their real names now? After all, they can (and do) gain fans just for being themselves, so wouldn't the fact that they're going to train to alter their personalities to become someone else make that a bad thing?

IDK if the qualification is the trainee have to be EXACTLY like the member....i've just got the feeling that as long as they understand the main qualities that make the AKB members who they are, they can still succeed them while retaining their personality as well....of course there's Tomochin successors who take things to like a really serious level..

Fun episode as always, though the message of the episode did annoy me a bit. Haters are kind in their own way? Uh, no they aren't. They might be helpful, but 'kind' isn't really the word to use for them when their intention isn't to help but insult and degrade. I get irritated sometimes with the giant hard-on Japan seems to have for 'tough love' (Which has its time and place, but I don't think it should used when it's unnecessary), so the episode was preaching a moral that tends to grate on me to begin with... but yeah. Hateful criticism can be helpful, but it's stupid to say there's any kindness in scathingly insulting people with no desire to help them and every intention to break their spirit. The kid was being a little shit and so is anyone who acts the way he does, regardless of whatever positive impact their behavior might have.

The idea I got from the message is that no matter what the haters say, use their criticisms to grow and be stronger.
Of course the haters are kind thing is a little exaggerating, there's really cruel haters out there that won't even try to know them but talk shit about them constantly. But in this ep, I don't find myself hating or get mad at the kid, even with that bomb thread. He was being dumb, but his intention didn't come from a malice place. More like an insecure fan that can't deal with the idea of Sashi being replace. It doesn't excuse his action tho.

Eh, I'd chalk it up to Orine's idealism. She's not as cynical as somebody like Yuuka, who would probably agree that, "The people are jerks but what they say is sometimes useful." Orine is one of those "everyone's really a nice person deep down" sort of characters. I think the moral was more about taking criticism and not letting the hatred get to you, and not about how even the mean people are nice.
Man, with the way they paced the action scene in the second half, the characters were practically singing along with the insert song.

Regarding this episode haters message, I guess it's more because the kind of hater the kid is. His hate for Orine was because he saw her saying she wants to become Sasshi, even though she was nowhere the level of the Sasshi he loves so much, as a insult.
While I won't say he was right in his action, it's still better than some other kinds of haters (and different from those he is the kind who criticism may be helpful like in ep 6). For instance people who hates anything that is popular, or those who act like haters because they have fun seeing others suffering / down.

Nah I'm pretty sure there's not alot of fans buying multiple vers even to get the cards. They're already spend their money on AKB new single/election/sub unit releases.
The whole "hold their hand tight, keep eye contact, and smile" moment was pure intense Sayaka
IDK about the Mayuyu thing...I've never heard her being a big eater like Acchan...the Mayuyu touching Sonana's butt maybe part of her Oshiri personality with Yuko. They both like grabbing members butt....

The semen thing isn't even AKB, it's S/mileage but they spread fake rumors..
sigh...but yeah....other idol groups need better security. In AKB handshake, they personally check you and then give you handsanitizers and the girls use them as well before you can even get a handshake..
Handshake events should be about meeting the idol you like and to show them support, not to start shit and traumatize the girls. Some fans can be as bad as haters.
BTW. a friend pointed out something..some of the girls from the preview look like certain AKB girls. So they're definitely rivals to the KKS members, I can spot few similarities.
Like the girl with the lemon on her head look like Ichikawa Miori , AKB48's chibi who's 18 but look like she's 10 with a head smaller than a basketball.. (she's super small~ not kidding, I seen her in real life)
Miori is known for her love of lemon ..hence the nickname Lemon so I see some resemblance there.
And my friend said the girl on the far left with black hair look kinda like Matsui Jurina, SKE ace and AKB front girl. who's actually 14 but look way older..

If your weekend get away brings you to Leavenworth, WA, remember, winter driving conditions exist.
Although there is only a little snow in the passes, snowfall has been little and far between, conditions can and do change at a moments notice. Be prepared; do not get caught in a winter storm.
Be prepared. Carry chains and know how to install them. Always travel the passes with a full tank of gas; you never know if you will be stopped on the pass. Carry a first aid kit and road flares. Have a map of the area you are traveling, don't rely solely on GPS navigational systems. Carry an extra change of warm clothes and keep a blanket or two in your vehicle. If you have a cell phone, bring it with you and make sure the cell phone is fully charged.
If you are spending the night, make your reservations BEFORE traveling. Festival weekend accommodations fill quickly and early in the year. You may need to book a month or two in advance (if not sooner). This is NOT UNCOMMON. You may want to verify your reservation BEFORE traveling, request a confirmation notice upon booking.
If the lodging facility you are booked at provides directions and/or a map, bring a copy with you when you travel. Check road conditions with the Department of Transportation (DOT) BEFORE you travel.
Remember, most lodging facilities list mileage distance and/or travel time from popular landmarks or cities. The travel time listed is normal drive time during average conditions. If you are not familiar with the area, it may take you longer to travel. Weather conditions may also add to travel time.
Stay safe, relax, and enjoy. Featherwinds, where memories are made and life is celebrated.
Warmest wishes.

Well, it's done. Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas made his grand gesture at the United Nations last week.
His application for full membership in the UN of a Palestinian state on the borders that prevailed before the 1967 Arab-Israeli war is already resetting the terms for negotiation.
The UN Security Council is meeting to discuss the application today, but an actual vote will probably be delayed for weeks. In the interim, frantic lobbying and diplomacy is under way to somehow convince Mr. Abbas – whose move seems wildly popular in the West Bank – to back away and open a new round of talks with Israel instead.
But if the carrots amount to nothing more than what was offered by the so-called Quartet – the US, UN, European Union, and Russia – last week, it's hard to imagine Abbas shifting course.
After years of eroding legitimacy (PA elections scheduled for 2009 were canceled because of the rift with Hamas, which controls Gaza) and the failure of negotiations to deliver a state or stop the expansion of settlements, Abbas was seen as weak and tired by his own people. For the moment, at least, his popularity has surged again thanks to his symbolic – but nevertheless powerful – move at the UN.
Abandoning the UN route now would be catastrophic to his own standing – at least without something firm in hand. Abbas held firm in a speech in Ramallah Sunday. "We will not accept [negotiations] until legitimacy is the foundation and they cease settlement completely," he told a flag-waving crowd.
PA negotiator Nabil Shaath was even more stark in comments to Maan news agency, criticizing President Obama's promise to block the Palestinian statehood bid on the Security Council as he ramps up his 2012 reelection campaign.
"Obama prefers to capitulate to pressure from the Zionist lobby but he will lose a lot in the Arab world," said Mr. Shaath. "The Palestinians won't pay the price for his re-election. No one could force us to backtrack."
Hamas rejects the statehood bid
The attitude of Abbas – who called for "peaceful resistance" and diplomacy in his speech – was strongly contrasted with the behavior of Hamas in Gaza on Friday. (Hamas is opposed to two states and wants the return of everything lost in 1948.)
Hamas banned public gatherings in support of Abbas' move, confiscated Palestinian flags, and issued threats against supporters of Abbas. In at least one instance, they raided a coffee shop in Gaza City showing the speech and arrested the owner.
In the battle for popular support between Hamas and Abbas' Fatah, seeking UN recognition can help tip the balance, and Abbas knows this.
Where does this leave us? With direct negotiations looking less likely in the short term than ever before.
The Quartet 'proposal'
The Quartet's "proposal" amounts to a vague statement of a long-held desire – peace between the Israelis and Palestinians – with an ambitious timeline that hopes for a complete agreement between the two sides by December of next year. Its very weakness is a measure of how the Israelis and Palestinians have drifted further apart since the Oslo Accords were signed in 1993. There simply isn't a breakthrough to be found without the bending of the Israelis, the Palestinians, or more probably, both.
There are no suggestions as to how, precisely, the 43-year-old questions of final borders, the return of Palestinian refugees, and how many Israeli settlements would be allowed to remain can be answered in the next 15 months. How to balance the Palestinian demand that East Jerusalem be its capital against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's insistence that an undivided Jerusalem will remain in Israel's hands, or Israel's desire to maintain a large military occupation on Palestinian territory after a deal again Palestine's desire for full sovereignty, are likewise not dealt with.
The Quartet merely calls for a return to talks "without delay or preconditions." That's been warmly welcomed by Israel. No surprise there. That's been their position all along. And unsurprisingly it's extremely unpopular with Abbas, since Israeli settlement expansion occurs every day, something he says makes good-faith negotiations on the future status of the West Bank impossible.
But the right-wing coalition that Netanyahu relies on is filled with members like Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, who favor rapid settlement expansion and appear interested in annexing much of the West Bank. Netanyahu is demanding that the Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state before they get their own state – something that amounts from the Palestinian side to giving up the right of return of refugees for nothing concrete in return.
"The Palestinians cannot negotiate any proposal that is not based on 1967 borders and does not ensure a settlement freeze in the West Bank," Abbas said in an interview with the pan-Arab daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat, adding that, "Netanyahu's ideological positions do not allow him to advance." Aides to Abbas have grown convinced that Netanyahu is committed to the idea of a greater Israel to encompass most of the West Bank – or Judea and Samaria, the biblical names which many Israelis use to refer to the land.
Netanyahu, in his speech to the UN after Abbas on Friday, repeatedly referred to this historic claim. "Jacob and his 12 sons roamed these same hills of Judea and Samaria 4,000 years ago, and there's been a continuous Jewish presence in the land ever since," he told the UN. Abbas, for his part, didn't utter the words "Jew" or "Jewish" once in his speech, something many Israeli politicians took as a slap in the face.

Don't drive very often, mostly ride my bike, but rented a 24 footer for a move and damn that was intense for the first drive. The rental center is at Spokane and 1st. That's 2 rights and you're on the W. Seattle Freeway – a busy Seattle thoroughfare with skinny lanes and jersey barriers. No commercial license needed to drive it. Just go for it and the bike-racing instincts kicked in – focused, stayed in my lane, and drove that big ass truck home.

When extremists bomb houses of worship, who are in those churches and schools? Women and girls.
Social science tells us that women are more religious than men, by almost any benchmark and study. Whether you measure belief in God, belief in a supreme being, attendance at religious services, personal prayer and religious practices, teaching religious values to children, raising a family within a faith tradition—by any of these benchmarks, women consistently, across time and cultures, rank as more religious than men. These results are so consistent and accepted that academic debates now tend to focus no longer on whether they are more religious but on why this is the case.
Because women are more religious than men, religious repression, persecution and violence affect women most. When churches are bombed, who are hurt and killed? Women. When people are forced to flee religious persecution as refugees and internally displaced persons, who are those refugees and I.D.P.'s? Predominantly women and their children.
When religious organizations like Catholic Relief Services and Caritas Internationalis find their work curtailed or banned because of their religious affiliation, who are hurt most? The women who make up most of the bottom billion of the world's impoverished, who rely on the activities of those religious organizations. Seventy percent of these billion are women and girls. Seventy percent of the youth not in school are women and girls. Girls are three times more likely to be malnourished. When faith-based organizations are curtailed in their service work, women and girls are harmed. Women are the primary victims of violations of religious freedom.
Women are also on the front lines of those responding to violations of religious freedom. Women lead nongovernmental organizations, women like Carolyn Woo, the president of Catholic Relief Services and a former refugee herself. Women refugees advocate for other refugees; women teachers and health care workers report violations and work with victims; women lawyers take up the cases in international venues.
But the female face of faith is often not seen. When victims of religious persecution or violence are counted, they are counted as Christians or Muslims, civilians versus security forces. Women are not counted because, in too many parts of the world, women simply do not count as fully human.
Oct. 27 is International Religious Freedom Day. A recent conference sponsored by the Institute of Policy Research at Catholic University, and recent reports, document a rising trend of religious repression. Seventy-five percent of the world's population live in countries with high restrictions on religion. Yet none of the otherwise excellent annual reports on religious freedom mention the female face of faith.
This is problematic. We cannot effectively protect religious freedom unless we understand who are the most vulnerable groups. Groups concerned with religious liberty and groups focused on women's issues typically do not work together. Domestically, their common cause is lost in the debates over how to implement the Affordable Care Act.
But the larger context is lost. Internationally, the war on religious freedom and the war on women are the same war. When religious freedom is violated, women suffer, because women are more religious.
To protect religious freedom internationally, we must see the female face of faith and work accordingly to build unlikely alliances across religious, political, gender and bureaucratic divides.
The Catholic moral and religious imagination help us. Jesus is our model, reaching out to build bridges among unlikely allies, prostitutes, tax collectors, gentiles and foreigners. In our sacraments of Communion and reconciliation, our beliefs in a relational, triune, resurrected God and our institutional structures that seek to make real these relationships of local and global church, the body of Christ, in Catholic social teaching about protection of human life and dignity and preference for the poor, we regularly exercise moral muscles for the common good, a moral imagination the world needs to protect religious freedom and save lives and human dignity.
The current Catholic teachings on the role of women in church and society uphold centuries of oppressing women. Indeed, the "narrow" religious imagination of Catholic teaching needs to be blown out of the water and seen for what it is: denying the truth that women are made in the image and likeness of God and can image Jesus. There is no "male or female" in the religious imagination of a true Christian. If Catholics can't get their heads around this truth, much of what they try to accomplish collectively will be difficult to consider seriously.
Clearly more women than men live the life of Faith, obvious in our churches not just these days but all the way back to Calvary's "church" where women beneath the Cross outnumbered men three days later, at the Tomb too. Although teaching that God is Father and saying "I and the Father are One," Jesus didn't flinch at identifying himself to women, to maternity, even to animal maternity, saying sadly, how often he tries to reach out to people – "like a Mother Hen" gathering her chicks under her wings," not always successfully. There is something about the fidelity of a mother hen protectively caring for her chicks, that appeals to Jesus even now. The face of female fidelity to Faith delights him!
Saying a little more, Shekina, the Holy Spirit of God femininely expressed in Hebrew, seems to have a special love for woman – reciprocally see what woman did for him in the person of the Son, without whose help Jesus' salvific and redemptive mission could not happen, Shekina's spoken Word, Jesus, activated the umbilical connection of blood and nutrients between God and Man and "the Word became flesh." Nutrients and blood as in bread and wine, begin their transubstantiated flow, the substance of the woman becoming the substance of the Man Jesus, a beautiful although inaccurate Eucharistic association.
There, is the female face of Faith, a fidelity that allowed the Woman to say that her soul makes God look good – big, "My soul magnifies the Lord!" That's what feminine fidelity to Faith does for God, it magnifies him, the womanhood of Mary is the "magnifier" in which all woman somehow share. And through Mary men too, in Jesus. The female face of Faith is delightful, and through it the Church is well graced! When speaking of mystery, I fear one babbles like an infant uttering first words!

It's All About Perspective.
Sometimes great moments of wisdom come from the most unlikely of places. The move Ratatouille (2007) by Pixar is a great example. In the movie, the antagonist, Anton Ego, shows up at a restaurant, to critique the food. The waiter Mustafa comes to take the order:
Mustafa: [taking Ego's order] Do you know what you'd like this evening, sir?
Anton Ego: Yes, I think I do. After reading a lot of overheated puffery about your new cook, you know what I'm craving? A little perspective. That's it. I'd like some fresh, clear, well seasoned perspective. Can you suggest a good wine to go with that?
Mustafa: With what, sir?
Anton Ego: Perspective. Fresh out, I take it?
Mustafa: I am, uh…
Anton Ego: Very well. Since you're all out of perspective and no one else seems to have it in this BLOODY TOWN, I'll make you a deal. You provide the food, I'll provide the perspective, which would go nicely with a bottle of Cheval Blanc 1947.
Mustafa: I'm afraid… your dinner selection?
Anton Ego: [stands up angrily] Tell your chef Linguini that I want whatever he dares to serve me. Tell him to hit me with his best SHOT.
In the latest shoot-em-up porn article by the Military Times, "U.S. vs. Russia: What a war would look like between the world's most fearsome militaries," they start off with the claim "With the launch of airstrikes in Syria, Russian President Vladimir Putin instigated a proxy war with the U.S., putting those nation's powerful militaries in support of opposing sides of the multipolar conflict."
What a bunch of bullshit.
The reality is that the USA is the country that has been initiating proxy wars, recently. Examples where the USA has aggressively instigated conflicts include Iraq, Georgia, Libya, Ukraine, Yemen and Syria. By way of comparison, Russia has been in a *reactive* mode, especially with regard to Georgia, Ukraine and now Syria, despite what the mainstream-media propagandists proclaim. (Of course, this is THE specific reason why MSM is losing market-share to independent media; they lie, and everyone knows this.)
Throughout the article, the same point keeps coming through, like a light-house beacon in the fog; Russia's military is designed as a truly defensive military force. Russia invests in air-defense systems and anti-ship forces. As the article clearly states, Russia is "relying on a particular set of capabilities known as 'anti-access and area denial.'" They have much less in the way of force-projection capabilities, as one would expect for a defensive military force; it's simply outside their scope. And given this fact, it makes perfect sense why they are able to field a significant military force on only 10% of the military expenditures of the USA; defensive military operations are typically much cheaper than offensive operations.
Defensive strategies are comparatively cheap. They don't rely on extended supply lines. The need for extended-range planes, ships and submarines are greatly diminished, the costs of defensive systems to penetrate deep into "enemy" territory without detection and/or defensive measures is reduced, and the citizens of the country will participate in both supply, intelligence and (to a limited degree) combat operations.
Offensive strategies, on the other hand, are much more demanding; all ground forces must be transported to the combat arena, must be supplied with ammunition, food, armored and air support (plus all spare parts), medical support, and so on. As well, offensive armies must rely on capturing resources as they conquer territory, or their supply lines will have to cross extended distances (also very expensive and logistically difficult to properly manage). Offensive military forces, to be effective, thus require extremely high levels of financial support to maintain operational effectiveness.
A country that is pursuing hegemonic power either regionally or globally, MUST have effective force-projection. Their military structure will necessarily be designed around this philosophy, and will be reflected in the tools of war, and in how much is spent on those tools.
Consider naval forces: as the authors admit, "Instead of carriers designed for offensive power projection at sea, the Russians are investing in an expanding fleet of submarines that can supplement their nuclear force and, conventionally, threaten an enemy surface fleet in nearby waters such as the Black Sea, the Baltic Sea or the Mediterranean Sea." Translation: the Russian Navy is defensive in structure. As they also stated, "the U.S. Navy's 10-carrier fleet operates on a continuing global deployment cycle." Translation: the US Navy is offensive in nature.
How about air forces and air defenses? "[Russia's] airspace also is heavily fortified. The quality of Russia's stealth aircraft is far weaker than those of the U.S., but Russia has cutting-edge anti-stealth systems, and also has invested heavily in robust surface-to-air missile systems and arrayed its forces domestically to protect its border regions." [emphasis added] They pointed out elsewhere that Russian aircraft are cheaper and yet still effective. Translation: the Russian air forces and defenses are structured for regional defense, and not offensive in nature. American aircraft employ a variety of technologies- computers, stealth and "smart" weapons systems- for the purpose of force projection. Translation: American air forces are offensive in nature.
What about electronic warfare? "left unclear is the extent to which Russia could jam the radars and signals intelligence that forms the foundation of the U.S.'s advanced air power." Defensive.
And on it goes.
So what it all boils down to is perspective. The USA, all protestations aside, has been pushing hegemonic power since 1945. The empirical data on this fact, is beyond refute. The empirical data also demonstrates that Russia, post-Soviet Union, reacts to external threats and responds accordingly. This is reflected in their foreign policy, the overall politics, their economy and their military structure.
These so-called "experts" don't see this, because they don't WANT to see it. Instead, they blindly spout the propaganda. "Four legs good, two legs bad." Their lack of perspective, is going to get a LOT of people hurt or killed, if we're not careful.
ALL of the recent military conflicts of note include the USA supplying weapons, money and intelligence to one side of the chess-board to destabilize regions. And judging by recent history, those destabilization efforts have been wildly successful- if your goal is to destabilize the region. And why would the USA want to destabilize ANY region? Well, when you control the money, you can have- and control- an empire. It really is that simple. So between our massive spending on military goodies to have effective "force projection" and then buying the loyalty
temporary support of willing toadies, we go in and wreck any country that dares to utter the words "maybe we can use some other currency than the dollar…?" It's about money and power. NOTHING else matters to these people.
If you're one of the weapons manufacturers of the empire, you get to make BIG profits. If you're the central bank financially backing the empire, you can literally create any amount of money you want; the wealth and power that comes with being the empire's bank is almost without limit (and people wonder why the Federal Reserve is still around). Ben Bernanke, Janet Yellen and Alan Greenspan are all nothing but modern-day carpet-baggers, front-men for a bunch of common thieves.
And since they literally create money out of thin air (with zero accountability), they can buy anybody. How much do you need to win the next election, Mrs. Clinton? A million? A trillion? Name your price, it's as simple as a wire-transaction to your account in the Cayman Islands.
I think this is one of the reasons Donald Trump (like him or hate him) represents a real threat to the banking/government cabal. He already has his own money, all he'll ever need… so there's nothing they have that he wants.
Like in the movie Avatar: "They're not gonna give up their home. They're not gonna make a deal. [scoffs] For-for what? A light beer and blue jeans? There's nothing that we have that they want." Jake Sully, AVATAR
When you've had a well-oiled machine, the perfect marriage of the state and the big corporations, the oil… is money. And the biggest threat to that machine is someone who is immune to the money. Trump represents the first real threat that perfect machine has faced in arguably 53 years.
The last threat- John F. Kennedy- became a threat when he inexplicably developed a conscience. So the threat was removed when mafia thug James Files used a prototype .222 Remington XP-100 Fireball that had been provided by the CIA.
The elitists have patterns they follow. I predict Trump will be killed before he ever steps foot in the White House, or elections will be suspended for some "national security" emergency like the ongoing economic collapse, another false-flag "terrorist" action involving some brain-dead schmuck being convinced by FBI agents to strike against The Man, or even Obama deciding to just drop the bullshit charades, and declare himself dick-tater. Whatever way you slice it, if Trump is the real deal (and so far everything indicates he is), they'll kill him rather than let him upset that perfect marriage of government and business. They'll not allow someone they can't control into power, it's as simple as that.
Considering all of the above, I have to ask the question: Do you honestly think any of them give a FUCK about you? They can buy you, bankrupt you, kill you or your family… They can do any fucking thing they want, because they can buy anybody or anything they need. You, your family, your neighborhood or your entire country… NONE of it matters to them, because all they care about is their power. Hell, they killed the PRESIDENT in public, shot him in the back in a triangulated killing-zone, and when they couldn't be sure if he was dead, the fail-safe for the assassination shot him in the right temple. ALL of it on TV, and nobody did a thing about it.
The 9/11 attacks killed 2,997 people on live TV, ushering in the police-state in all its glory. Obamacare took three years to write, yet the misnamed PATRIOT-USA act was rolled out in what, a month? Given how long it takes government lackeys to write anything, the only logical conclusion is that it written beforehand, and waiting for the right excuse to be implemented. Hell, the Afghanistan and Iraqi wars were planned beforehand, was were Syria and Libya.
The state in bed with big business leads to this. They've killed over a million people in Iraq (with some 870,000 orphans) and contaminated the ground with depleted uranium ordnance, 26,000 in Afghanistan, around 100,000 in Libya… and on and on… Why? Because all they cared about was the capture of new and existing oil and gas fields.
To understand the perspective, think "money and power." NOTHING else matters to them.
So getting back to the question, do you really think they give two shits about you or me?
Do you really think you're going to vote your way out of this???
Let's see…
- We have four cops gang-rape and sodomize a 15 year-old girl with the full expectation that they'll get away with it…
- Here, a cop beats a rap for raping a woman at gun-point because, he said, "she asked for it,"
- Here, cops beat the Hell out of a woman for complaining about a cop's rude behavior (video),
- In another story, cops beat a man so bad they ruptured his spleen and left him to die… but he didn't.
- A 78 year-old man was beaten and pepper-sprayed by a cop during a ride home,
- Cop Runs Over Citizen and Refuses to Render Aid, Citizen Dies in the Street: Witnesses
- "My 2-yr-old Son is In There!" Cops Ignore Mother and Throw Grenade Into Her Child's Room, Child Burned and Hospitalized: Court
- SWAT Team Descends On School Over Student's Halloween Costume
Let's summarize this:
The economic system is collapsing (like that's a big surprise to anyone with a 3-digit IQ). The thugs are tightening the grip to keep the sheep under control, while the state extracts every last ounce of nourishment remaining from the host, before it all goes down. Anyone- and I do mean ANYONE- who dares to speak out, will be dealt with severely.
- The SCOTUS has just admitted they no longer adhere to the Constitution, but a political agenda.
- Your rights are no longer rights, but mere privileges to be given or taken at whim.
- You are now a subject of the state, and no longer a citizen.
- The police are heroes (except for those pesky 909 innocent people we've killed up to this writing, this year).
- Russia is trying to start a world war and want to invade the USA (though they don't have the means to do it)
- Hillary is trustworthy and should be the next President (though she's an admitted felon, at least she has the most "truth in advertising," in that unlike the rest of the blow-dried talking-head political whores running from both parties, she is the only one who looks like an old whore)
- We're still fighting a "War on Terror" (terrorists being defined as anyone who doesn't happily lick .gov boots)
- And so on…
You're NOT crazy, when you reject gay marriage and child-molester Boy Scout leaders. You're NOT crazy when you get angry at the GOP (or Democrats) stabbing you in the back- again. You're NOT crazy when you think that Obama is a treasonous pus-bag that needs a good neck-stretching off the nearest lamp-post. And you're NOT crazy when you think it's a bad (insanely bad) idea to bring Muslims over from Syria.
Reject that absurd bullshit that people say (we have to arrest this child because he chewed his pop-tart into the shape of a gun), get in peoples' faces and tell them they're fucking idiots. When school teachers try to feed you a line of crap about how their "survey" on bullying is still within scope by asking their ethnic and sexual orientation, TELL them they're full of crap… in front of the students and everyone else who can hear. When a politician tells you he/she supports "climate change," ask him if he/she has plans for controlling the sun? When you hear PC-speak, EXPOSE it for the bullshit it really is.
PUBLICLY EMBARASS THEM. And then tell them to STFU.
Regain your perspective… And take BACK the narrative, any way you can. If you remain silent, their lies stand. When you speak the truth, their lies crumble to dust.
We've had absurdities- LIES- thrown at everything that makes our society special, for at least 30 years that I've been "awake," and aware of how such lies change our perspective to something more easily controlled, from what once was the ability to think, to speak openly. By attacking the lies, exposing them at every opportunity, you will provide a different perspective to the Gen-X and millennials, something they've never experienced before… You'll show them the TRUTH. And while it will be something new to them… They will recognize the truth when they see it.

About Citizen-Journalist India
Citizen-Journalist is an endeavour started by a group of Indians in India and outside. We're reaching out to other Indians to make this better.
The objective of this website is for the young of India to communicate on Issues that matter, too long have we paid to get stuff done. From a birth certificate to a death certificate, we have to pay bribes. Things are all toppled over. The govt servants are all under-paid, and over-bribed; things need to crawl back out from this ditch. We believe in Name and Shame, but please back up your claims with proof. Name of the person concerned, Govt Dept at the helm of affairs.
Even though in India, there are now fantastic opportunities in politics, #AAP & other associations, its a long way where we the young will feel confident and open to actually join politics full time.
CJ India is a platform to converse issues that matter. Facebook you share with friends, Twitter you converse with people online, but then the timeline gets clouded with noise. We intend to keep this simple, and clean.
Currently, we're working on things. Though we're very averse to ads.
You can find the Terms and Privacy Policy Links at the bottom of the page. It's still work in progress.

Login and Registration Issues
To minimize fake accounts you can only register via a Facebook account.
There are several reasons why this could occur. First, ensure your username and password are correct. If they are, contact the board owner to make sure you haven't been banned. It is also possible the website owner has a configuration error on their end, and they would need to fix it.
If you do not check the Log me in automatically box when you login, the board will only keep you logged in for a preset time. This prevents misuse of your account by anyone else. To stay logged in, check the box during login. This is not recommended if you access the board from a shared computer, e.g. library, internet cafe, university computer lab, etc. If you do not see this checkbox, it means the board administrator has disabled this feature.
Don't panic! While your password cannot be retrieved, it can easily be reset. Visit the login page and click I've forgotten my password. Follow the instructions and you should be able to log in again shortly.
First, check your username and password. If they are correct, then one of two things may have happened. If you were sent an e-mail, follow the instructions. If you did not receive an e-mail, e-mail may have been picked up by a spam filer.
It is possible an administrator has deactivated or deleted your account for some reason. Contact us
User Preferences and settings
If you are a registered user, all your settings are stored in the board database. To alter them, visit your User Control Panel; a link can usually be found at the top of board pages. This system will allow you to change all your settings and preferences.
Posting Issues
To post a new topic in a forum, click the relevant button on either the forum or topic screens. You may need to register before you can post a message. A list of your permissions in each forum is available at the bottom of the forum and topic screens. Example: You can post new topics, You can vote in polls, etc.
To add a signature to a post you must first create one via your User Control Panel. Once created, you can check the Attach a signature box on the posting form to add your signature. You can also add a signature by default to all your posts by checking the appropriate radio button in your profile. If you do so, you can still prevent a signature being added to individual posts by un-checking the add signature box within the posting form.
When posting a new topic or editing the first post of a topic, click the "Poll creation" tab below the main posting form; if you cannot see this, you do not have appropriate permissions to create polls. Enter a title and at least two options in the appropriate fields, making sure each option is on a separate line in the textarea. You can also set the number of options users may select during voting under "Options per user", a time limit in days for the poll (0 for infinite duration) and lastly the option to allow users to amend their votes.
The limit for poll options is set by the board administrator. If you feel you need to add more options to your poll than the allowed amount, contact the board administrator.
Each board administrator has their own set of rules for their site. If you have broken a rule, you may be issued a warning. Please note that this is the board administrator's decision, and the phpBB Group has nothing to do with the warnings on the given site. Contact the board administrator if you are unsure about why you were issued a warning.
If the board administrator has allowed it, you should see a button for reporting posts next to the post you wish to report. Clicking this will walk you through the steps necessary to report the post.
The board administrator may have decided that posts in the forum you are posting to require review before submission. It is also possible that the administrator has placed you in a group of users whose posts require review before submission. Please contact the board administrator for further details.
Formatting and Topic Types
Smilies, or Emoticons, are small images which can be used to express a feeling using a short code, e.g. :) denotes happy, while :( denotes sad. The full list of emoticons can be seen in the posting form. Try not to overuse smilies, however, as they can quickly render a post unreadable and a moderator may edit them out or remove the post altogether. The board administrator may also have set a limit to the number of smilies you may use within a post.
Yes, images can be shown in your posts. If the administrator has allowed attachments, you may be able to upload the image to the board. Otherwise, you must link to an image stored on a publicly accessible web server, e.g. http://www.example.com/my-picture.gif. You cannot link to pictures stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor images stored behind authentication mechanisms, e.g. hotmail or yahoo mailboxes, password protected sites, etc. To display the image use the BBCode [img] tag.
Topic icons are author chosen images associated with posts to indicate their content. The ability to use topic icons depends on the permissions set by the board administrator.
Private Messaging
There are three reasons for this; you are not registered and/or not logged on or a new member, the board administrator has disabled private messaging for the entire board, or the board administrator has prevented you from sending messages. Contact a board administrator for more information.
You can block a user from sending you private messages by using message rules within your User Control Panel. If you are receiving abusive private messages from a particular user, inform a board administrator; they have the power to prevent a user from sending private messages.
We are sorry to hear that. The e-mail form feature of this board includes safeguards to try and track users who send such posts, so e-mail the board administrator with a full copy of the e-mail you received. It is very important that this includes the headers that contain the details of the user that sent the e-mail. The board administrator can then take action.
Searching the Forums
Enter a search term in the search box located on the index, forum or topic pages. Advanced search can be accessed by clicking the "Advance Search" link which is available on all pages on the forum. How to access the search may depend on the style used.
Your search was probably too vague and included many common terms which are not indexed by phpBB3. Be more specific and use the options available within Advanced search.
Your search returned too many results for the webserver to handle. Use "Advanced search" and be more specific in the terms used and forums that are to be searched.
Visit to the "Members" page and click the "Find a member" link.
Your own posts can be retrieved either by clicking the "Search user's posts" within the User Control Panel or via your own profile page. To search for your topics, use the Advanced search page and fill in the various options appropriately.
Topic Subscriptions and Bookmarks
Bookmarking in phpBB3 is much like bookmarking in your web browser. You aren't alerted when there's an update, but you can come back to the topic later. Subscribing, however, will notify you when there is an update to the topic or forum on the board via your preferred method or methods.
To subscribe to a specific forum, click the "Subscribe forum" link upon entering the forum. To subscribe to a topic, reply to the topic with the subscribe checkbox checked or click the "Subscribe topic" link within the topic itself.
To remove your subscriptions, go to your User Control Panel and follow the links to your subscriptions.

Slax author's Blog (RSS)
Multiarch support for Slax
I think that getting flu may be good for something. For example you have to lie in bed all the time, since you do not have enough strength for anything else. And while lying, you can only cough and think. That is what I did. And besides all my pessimistic thoughts that I can't possibly survive this flu since it brings inexpressible pain and is so hugely devastating for my body, I had one more idea, more useful one. Ha Ha. :)
It all starts with the skype module. Microsoft, the current owner of skype, refuses to release 64bit version for Linux. I'm not sure if that is due to Microsoft programmers being so stupid, or rather thanks to some undisclosed secret internal policies, but it's how it is. Since Slax 64bit is a real 64bit system, it can run neither 32bit skype nor any other 32bit application. I think it is a pity. So I googled a bit and noticed that it is possible to include both 32bit and 64bit libraries in one system and make both 32bit and 64bit applications usable in 64bit Slax. The method is called multiarch and is widely used by many 64bit Linux distributions.
I prefer to ship the 64bit version of Slax just like it is, as a purely 64bit system. I have no plans for including multiarch in Slax at all. But I understand it may be useful for some users, so I made a module for it. You may try it for yourself, just
slax activate multiarch-libs. It will essentially download a 20MB module file which will let you run Skype and many other 32bit applicaions in 64bit Slax. The module itself consists of preselected 32bit libraries, so if you find a software which doesn't work with multiarch-libs (complains about some other missing libraries), just feel free to use ldd to find out what libs are missing and mail me so I will include them in this module too.

Finally its nice to see this... I've got compat32 for slackware packages and converted them to use with slax. I got small warning from them about fonts and utf8. Module is great and have no problems
Hello, use slax 7.0.5 from usb, and when I type a CD (not DVD) with music (audio), I can not hear, or even see the contents of the CD. however if I can listen to an mp3 from the usb,
may not ride the cd?
What's wrong?
Do I need any additional module?
Just wanted to say that I love Slax 7.0.5. Slax 7 looks a lot more grown-up compared to version 6.
Autoloading NTFS partitions?
I read this:
I restarted Slax and no mount partitions :(
Had the compat32 libs converted and inserted with Slax 7.0. The true multiarch requires changes to gcc as I recall - all in all too much hassle. MS is a jerk off - power to Linus T. for telling them (and the RH boss) off about their UEFI boot crap.
Multiarch-libs is good idea, but I need more. How to properly combine Slax i?86 and Slax x86_64 into one Slax PXE server? Task is to load Slax x86_64 on x86_64 capable clients, and Slax i?86 on x86_64 incapable clients. Any ideas(excluding MAC filtering)?
(and another question: how to hide certain modules from PXE server? It seems Slax scans all subdirectories of bootable device)
Hi Tomas,
Is it possible to have a 'recently added' section in the modules? Some time back I was searching for wine and did not get it. Till now I thought that wine module was not present at all until by chance I was browsing all modules and saw that wine is now present!
Recently added section may help in the future.
I just installed Slax on a USB Key and it took me approx. 10 minutes, configurations included, to get everything working perfectly.
I remember the old OS from Macintosh. You just had to copy it on a disk or partition and then boot on it. It's the first time I see another system so easy to install! You are genius!
Hi Tomas,
Once I did ask you for a malayalam localization for slax.
You told It's not possible because there is no malayalam KDE Localization but now I found a KDE localization:
See that? Now, Please, make a Slax Malayalam Localization!
Hello Thomas, I will take some time to test this new feature. I currently run the multilib on Slackware that Alien Bob provides.
Also today I was reading some news in Linux.com and I found one that may be of your interest. Google launched a new compression library name Zopfli.
Could you check if it would help Slax in anyway?
Best regards,
Thiago Silvino
@Thiago Silvino
Some info about why/and how lzma is used.
I didn't read everything but one can ask these questions:
- Can squashfs handle Zopfli?
- Is Zopfli supported (by default) by the Linux kernel?
@Thiago Silvino:
You must be kidding! ;)
Why should Tomas test an application which compresses 100-1000x slower than gzip? I myself wouldn't want to wait half an hour to compress a bundle...
It is meant to be used mainly for webservers.
What is the best way to update and upgrade Slax? by using slackpkg? slax [what option?] ?
@Manfred, I remember that Tomas had tested many methods (zip, gzip, lzma) and one of the key points to choose lzma was the decompression speed which is very fast. Also there are other points like lzma being supported by default in the Linux kernel, which I guess Zopfli may not be supported by default right now. But this is something that I found very interesting and maybe it could be helpful in the future.
- For slax -base- system, just download and use the latest slax version.
- For the programs (modules) I don't know if there is/going to be an option to compare available modules by version..
@regarding updating slax & slax-modules
If the option is going to be in the module-center in slax, and/or on the website
Hello Tomas,
I have a really big problem
i downloaded certain file using slax, but i cannot copy that file to any other device, because slax doesnt "see" my hdd or other usb that i insert into mashine.
that file is really important to me.
is there a way to copy it to my hard drive or other usb flash drive?
Or a way to just copy it to root of the usb flash on which slax is installed, because i cannot see content of that device neither?
In earlier versions of slax all worked perfectly..
Best regards, Sipy
+update software center is not ready yet. I updated my Firefox to the new version by using slackpkg which is available on Slax. Isn't it better to download the tgz package and make a module? Just wondering what would be the best option at this moment. ...
I like slackpkg, however, it would try to compare Slax packages with the latest version of Slackware and this might be an issue. Am I right?
.Update software center relys on modules /bundles been upload by users and this happening at a slow rate.
Using binary tgz package from trusted ource will give access to a wider range of package.
The end result is the same .
> I remember that Tomas had tested many methods (zip, gzip, lzma)
Beneath Bollywood being one of the two who convinced Tomas to use lzma
as compressor, i remember, too... ;)
> maybe it could be helpful in the future
It could, if Tomas would use it to compress the code for the Slax website.
Zopfli is meant to be used to compress web pages.
You should (at least) see the USB-device that contains Slax.
easiest to check is to open a terminal and type "mount" (enter)
This will show all mounted devices and the full path to the directory they are mounted on.
Once you know that path & directory-name, you can copy your file(s) to a location in that directory (that represents your slax-usb-device)..
@ Sipy
As far as I know, you must manually mount the USB drive. I do it like this: I open the folder manager and pulse in the new USB drive. I can already paste files.
Just for your info - aufs for kernel 3.8 is available.

Construction of East Stroudsburg University's $107 million Keystone Center is expected to begin as early as the summer of 2014.
Construction of East Stroudsburg University's $107 million Keystone Center is expected to begin as early as the summer of 2014.
"It's going to be the centerpiece of our campus," said Richard Staneski, who recently retired as ESU's vice president of finance and administration.
He described the construction project as likely being the "biggest ever" undertaken on campus.
The project's architect, Ewing Cole Architects of Philadelphia, has released renderings of the 269,000-square-foot, glass-front four-story student center and five-story library that will make up the new Keystone Center.
The center will include a 7,000-square-foot ballroom to replace the existing Keystone Room.
When it is complete, the project will take up the space occupied by the current Keystone Room, student union and hotel, restaurant and tourism management buildings.
The new student center and library will be connected, an educational model that puts the library at the core of campus where all the instruction happens, said Doreen Tobin, ESU's vice president for student affairs.
"What this project lets us do is really make the student center the true hub of the student experience. Putting it together with the library allows for more student interaction," Tobin said.
The Keystone Center will be completed in two phases, the first of which is to demolish the existing Keystone Room and hotel, restaurant and tourism buildings and construct the student center portion of the project.
Construction bids went out at the beginning of the month, university officials said.
It's estimated that demolition of the Keystone Room and hotel, restaurant and tourism buildings would begin in June 2014, at which time the hospitality program will be moved to ESU's Innovation Center at 562 Independence Road.
The first phase is expected to be finished by February 2016, with the student center ready for occupancy in June 2016.
The second phase of the project includes demolishing the existing student union and constructing the new library, which will replace Kemp Library on Prospect Avenue.
University officials hope to eventually turn the old library into a business college.
The timeline of the second phase depends on the state, however.
To date, only $36.6 million has been released by the state for the project, said Kenn Marshall, spokesman for the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education.
The plan is to have the remaining $40.3 million in authorized funding released over the next two years, with $8 million coming sometime in 2013-14 and $32.3 million in 2014-15.
"(Gov. Tom Corbett's office) makes that decision, but they have been supportive of the project, so we would hope the final two releases go as we have recommended," Marshall said.
In January, the PASSHE Board of Governors authorized $30 million in bond financing to cover the remaining cost of the project.
The bonds will not actually be issued until the funding is needed — probably next April, Marshall said.
The bonds would support the student union portion of the project and would be repaid through a $99-per-student fee per semester — a fee ESU students voted to approve in 2010.
The student fee will not go into effect until students can occupy the building, Tobin said.
She was unsure how long the fee may be in effect, but estimates between 20 to 30 years.
If the state releases the money for the second phase of the project by October 2014, then construction is estimated to be finished by April 2018, with the library portion of the Keystone Center ready for occupancy in June 2018, university officials said.
Tobin believes the project will bring the campus community closer together.
Certain student services that will move into the new center are currently spread over campus.
The Women's Center is currently in Rosenkrans Hall, and the Multi-Cultural Affairs Center is now in a small building on Normal Street.
ESU's radio station, WESS, will also be brought into the new center, vacating its current building, which is across from Zimbar-Lijenstein Hall.
The radio station will be near the Stroud Courier student newspaper, making it easier for the two entities to work together, Tobin said.
The 7,000-square-foot ballroom, which can be divided into smaller conference spaces, would make it easier to hold academic conferences and community events.
University officials still want to preserve the memories of the old Keystone Room, so they will incorporate pieces of the fireplace from the Keystone Room in the new ballroom, Tobin said.
She acknowledged the project will be disruptive to students, as major construction projects usually are.
That's why a special committee has been set up to determine where various events and student clubs can be hosted while construction is going on.
"I think in terms of game-changers, this project is huge," Tobin said.

ST. LOUIS (AP) � A Central Missouri nuclear plant is expected to remain shut down for several days while Ameren Missouri workers perform tests and repair damage from a small fire Friday night.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the fire was in the "non-nuclear" power-generation side of the Callaway County nuclear facility, and the plant will stay offline until the workers are finished.
Ameren spokesman Cleveland Reasoner said power cables that connect the plant to the electric grid shorted, causing some nearby insulation to catch fire.
Ameren says the nuclear reactor automatically shut down, and no radioactivity was released.
The Callaway County reactor supplies about 20 percent of the electricity Ameren sells to its 1.2 million customers. Other Ameren plants will make up for the lost power while the nuclear plant is offline.

Hallucinations involve sensing things while awake that appear to be real, but instead have been created by the mind.
Alternative Names
Sensory hallucinations
Common hallucinations include any of the following:
- Feeling bodily sensations, such as a crawling feeling on the skin or the movement of internal organs.
- Hearing sounds, such as music, footsteps, windows or doors banging.
- Hearing voices when no one has spoken (the most common type of hallucination). These voices may be critical, complimentary, neutral, or may command someone to do something that may cause harm to themselves or to others.
- Seeing patterns, lights, beings, or objects that are not there.
- Smelling a foul or pleasant odor.
In some cases, hallucinations are normal. For example, hearing the voice of, or briefly seeing, a loved one who recently died can be a part of the grieving process.
There are many causes of hallucinations, including:
- Being drunk or high, or coming down from such drugs as
marijuana, LSD, cocaine (including crack), PCP, amphetamines, heroin, ketamine, and alcohol Deliriumor dementia(visual hallucinations are most common) Epilepsythat involves a part of the brain called the temporal lobe (odor hallucinations are most common) Fever, especially in children and the elderly Narcolepsy
- Mental disorders, such as
schizophreniaand psychotic depression
- Sensory problem, such as blindness or deafness
- Severe illness, including liver failure,
kidney failure, HIV/AIDS, and brain cancer
When to Contact a Medical Professional
A person who begins to hallucinate and is detached from reality should get checked by a health care professional right away. Many medical and mental conditions that can cause hallucinations may quickly become emergencies. The person should not be left alone.
Call the health care provider, go to the emergency room, or call the local emergency number (such as 911).
A person who smells odors not present in his surroundings should also be evaluated by a health care professional. These hallucinations may be caused by a serious underlying medical condition.
What to Expect at Your Office Visit
The health care provider will do a physical examination and take a medical history. The person will be asked about the hallucinations. For example, how long the hallucinations have been happening, when they occur, or whether the person has been taking medications or using alcohol or illegal drugs.
Blood may be drawn for testing.

It has been an intriguing past week or so for the Jaggers and protest causes. Last week's edition of The Sunday Times Magazine featured the lovely Lizzy Jagger and her mother, Jerry Hall, on its cover holding two scorpion fish and the words, 'DO THE RIGHT FIN: Jerry Hall and Lizzy Jagger bare all to save our fish', while just a few days before that Lizzy's father, Rolling Stones frontman Mick, found himself being publicly urged by human rights organization Survival International to 'stop the expansion of a huge gas project over uncontacted tribes' land in Peru.'
Survival chose to approach Jagger because last year he was made 'Tourist Ambassador and International Protector of the Madre de Dios region' in south-east Peru.
Madre de Dios, a massive rainforest region, certainly needs protecting. The recent completion of the Inter-Oceanica highway running all the way to Brazil's Atlantic Coast has made it significantly easier to exploit the region's natural resources; Texas-based oil company Hunt Oil is operating in the Amarakaeri Communal Reserve; and huge areas elsewhere are being destroyed by gold-miners and a systemically corrupt and abusive logging industry. New, major threats include a highway proposed to run right through the Madre de Dios Reserve for 'isolated', sometimes dubbed 'uncontacted', indigenous people; gas exploration in the Bahuaja-Sonene National Park; and the expansion of the Camisea gas project deeper into the Kugapakori, Nahua and Nanti Reserve for 'isolated' people and the Manu National Park - the latter being the issue Survival hopes Jagger will protest about.
So where, if he is at all serious, does Jagger start? Perhaps, in addition to speaking out about the gas, he could issue an urgent message to the global tourist industry and any tourists travelling to Manu not to approach, leave gifts for, photograph, film or indeed do anything to encourage contact with the 'isolated' people who live there and otherwise have no regular contact with outsiders, including other indigenous people. Unlikely as this sounds, it has been happening increasingly frequently over the last year, with numerous photos being taken and video footage shot of 'isolated' people known as the 'Mashco-Piro' along the banks of one of the rivers in Manu that is used regularly by tourist boats to access 'eco-lodges' deeper in the rainforest. The consequences for the 'isolated' people, who have no immunity to outsiders' diseases and could be decimated by any form of contact, could be devastating.
As an article of mine earlier this year in The Observer demonstrated, some tour operators in Peru are willing to exploit these sightings to drum up business. In India, similar kinds of tours have been called 'human safaris.'
'There's great concern because the Mashco-Piro are very vulnerable,' said regional indigenous organization FENAMAD, based in Madre de Dios's capital, last October. 'In addition to their susceptibility to common diseases and epidemics, the sightings are occurring in an area of open river transit where there is an intense traffic of commercial and tourists' boats.'
Ironically, today's 'Mashco-Piro' are believed to be the descendants of indigenous people slaughtered and driven out of their homes by a rubber mogul named Carlos Fermin Fitzcarrald in the late 19th century. Guess who almost played Fitzcarrald in a 1980s film by Werner Herzog and even shot a few scenes in Peru? Mick Jagger.

NSA Agents Told To Withhold Target Information From Those In Charge Of Oversight
from the and-the-hits-keep-coming dept
The basic premise of this process is to memorialize why you the analyst have requested targeting. This rationale will be provided to our external FISA Amendment Act (FAA) overseers, the Department of Justice and Office of the Director of National Intelligence, for all FAA targeting.The document goes on to list a variety of "example" rationale sentences, all pretty short and sweet, which basically demonstrate to NSA agents how to remove any pertinent information for oversight, while still giving a "reason" for targeting someone. It's a lesson in stripping out information and, as the Washington Post notes, replacing it with "generic" info that will pass muster with the folks supposedly in charge of oversight. As an aside, while parts of them are redacted, there are a few "fake" names given, including "Mohammad Badguy" and "Muhammad Fake Name." No profiling there.
While we do want to provide our FAA overseers with the information they need, we DO NOT want to give them any extraneous information.... This rationale can be no longer than one short sentence.
[....] Your rationale MUST NOT contain any additional information including: probable cause-like information (i.e., proof of your analytic judgment), how you came to your analytic conclusions, any RAGTIME information, classification marking or selector information.
Either way, this once again suggests that the "oversight" going on here is something of a joke. Analysts are directly being told to be careful not to explain very much at all, giving the briefest ("one short sentence, no extraneous information") basis for getting access to all sorts of information concerning a "target" -- which might include a variety of communications and metadata concerning a huge number of people very, very, very loosely connected with that target. It certainly suggests that this idea of "oversight" is pretty laughable. Concoct a one sentence "rationale" that sounds vaguely plausible, and it appears that no one's going to ask any questions at all.

text: One of the last of the World Rally Chamipionship Group B monsters, the Lancia Delta S4 was an instant classic since its debut in 1985, where it won the first race it was entered in, the RAC Rally of Great Britain. With over 500 horsepower available and acceleration to 60mph in 2.5 seconds on gravel, the Delta S4 was destined to be a dominant force in the rally championship. In 1986, Henri Toivonen took victory at the presigious Monte Carlo Rally, and we commemorate this win with our second range of Lancia rally car models. Also available are two plain colour models featuring a cool white and sultry Italian red. Remember: all of these fantastic recreations are made in limited quantities, once gone they will never be available again. These fabulous prototype car models feature a convenient size for collecting (approximately 10 x 4 x 3cm) and a crystal clear acrylic case with black base so you can easily stack the cases if you wish. The Lancia Delta S4 models feature a clear engine cover, just like the real thing, so you can inspect the fine engine detail! These precision cast models are 1:43 scale, a convenient size for any desk or display case. Incredible attention has been paid to make the cars as true to scale as possible. Fine exterior details like radiators, disc brakes, brake calipers, mirrors, wings, exhaust, headlight buckets, mirrors, tow hooks and radio antennae combine to make the models extremely realistic. The paint and even the sponsor logos are colour-matched for exact scale representation. Each car has a fully painted and detailed interior, complete with a roll cage, racing seat, fire extinguisher, steering wheel, dashboard and even defroster lines in the rear window. Engine detail includes the full cylinder block, exhaust system, turbos, radiators, oil coolers and more! HPI uses the drawings and plans from the manufacturer to accurately reproduce what we feel are the finest 1:43 scale die-cast models available. Look at one close up and you'll agree!
