Community invited to share the joy
OCJ Kids believes that no child should miss out on the fun and magic of Christmas. As a result, the nonprofit organization partners with businesses and organizations within the community to support its One Bright Star Toy Drive. This annual event ensures that these forgotten children get to have the same exciting and joyous holiday that so many families take for granted.
"OCJ Kids will host its 10th Annual One Bright Star Christmas Bowling Party this month," says Tammie Webb, director of operations. "We understand that children in foster care have been exposed to traumatic and heartbreaking experiences in their young lives. The One Bright Star Christmas party provides a place for them to celebrate, laugh, feel love and begin to heal. We create family and connection for these children."
The children are invited to a fun and exciting holiday party, with plenty of activities and snacks to eat. The organization also makes sure that each of these children gets a gift with their name on it — a small but powerful way to let them know that someone cares about them personally.
Webb continued, "This year, over 600 foster children who currently live in a group home will celebrate with our staff and volunteers and memories will be created!"
OCJ Kids (Opportunity Community and Justice for Kids), founded in 1992, forming an alliance with the business and faith communities to provide services, resources and caring adults to address the needs of the most vulnerable in our society.
Founders Gary and Tammie Webb's passion was to reach out to the growing population of unsupervised youth aged 12-18 who were gathering after school with nothing productive to occupy their time and who were being tempted by negative influences, including gangs, drugs and violent behavior.
Gary and Tammie knew these youth were making choices that would impact the rest of their lives and were determined to establish a program to offer positive activities and adult mentors who would not only encourage them to take the "right path," but could show them how through direct assistance and role modeling.
Area residents are invited to support the One Bright Star Toy Drive by donating toys or volunteering to help wrap gifts or at one of the Christmas parties. Gift wrapping and other prep work will be completed December 13–15, with the parties taking place December 16–17. Anyone interested in volunteering can visit the OCJ website (www.ocjkids.org) to sign up. To find out how to donate gifts, visit the website or call 602.439.2171.

We all know how the saying goes… "I scream you scream, we all scream for icecream" and once you've made it yourself and dished it up to loved ones, chances are they'll never scream for anything else. Particularly if you are use to eating those eerily fluffy white versions in the freezer shelves… Yuck.
While it can be a tiny bit tricky/time consuming, truth is, there's something marvellously therapeutic to be found in standing over your bowls and saucepans and gingerly stirring each stage, so to ensure a fine, smooth result.
If you're lucky enough to have an ice-cream maker on hand, then the process just quickened up, but if not, it's not at all tricky to replicate 'churning' via a metal tray and the freezer.
This recipe (care of Philip Johnson's Eating In) makes around 1.25 litres of vanilla bean ice-cream. You could easily transform it into a number of other types, via the addition of nuts, fruits, chocolate and liqueur.
The know how for this creamy concoction comes care of pepper passport. A site "for the avid cook, discerning traveller, lover and sharer of good things, both at home, and while away" launching later this year.

In Windows 10 build 18298, are a number of changes were made to the built-in console subsystem of the operating system. There is a new "terminal" tab in console option that allows adjusting several new options for the Command Prompt, PowerShell, and WSL. There, you can disable the ability to scroll a console window below the last line's output, like it works in Linux terminal emulators.
RECOMMENDED: Click here to fix Windows errors and optimize system performance
Windows Console subsystem is utilized by certain built-in apps of Windows 10, including the Command Prompt, PowerShell, and WSL. Starting with Windows 10 Build 18298, which represents the upcoming 19H1 feature update, also known as version 1903, you will find a set of new options of the console.
These settings are "experimental", because in certain scenarios, it's possible that they might not behave like you would expect them to, may not make it into the next OS release, and may change completely in the final version of the OS.
By default, you can scroll a console window down, below the last line's output until you reach the end of its buffer. By disabling the Scroll Forward option, you can make the Windows console behave like a Linux terminal, that doesn't allow scrolling below the last line's output.
It will be set for the specific shortcut you used to open a console instance. E.g. if you have multiple command prompt shortcuts, you can set the Scroll-Forward option for each of them individually. This way, PowerShell, WSL, and the command prompt may have their own independent settings.
To change the terminal colors of the console window in Windows 10,
- Open a new command prompt window, elevated command prompt, PowerShell, or WSL.
- Right-click on the title bar of its window and select Properties from the context menu.
- Switch to the Terminal tab.
- Under Terminal Scrolling, enable the option Disable Scroll-Forward.
That's it.

Chevalier had responded to the anti-diversity memo written by James Damore, another employee who was ousted from the company last year for criticising the tech giant for its diversity policy. "Chevalier, who is transgender, queer and disabled, alleges that Google failed to protect its female, minority, and LGBTQ employees from harassment on internal forums… but was quick to crack down on those employees when they spoke out about their experiences with racism, sexism, and homophobia at work," Gizmodo reported.

In a statement to The Verge, Chevalier said: "It is a cruel irony that Google attempted to justify firing me by claiming that my social networking posts showed bias against my harassers." In a recent ruling, the US National Labour Relations Board (NLRB) shot down Damorea¿s complaint, saying that Google did not violate labour laws when it fired him.
An NLRB lawyer said Google fired the computer engineer not for expressing dissenting views or criticism, but over "unprotected discriminatory statements" in his memo, which he had posted to internal discussion forums at the tech giant. In his lawsuit filed in a California court, Damore said that Google "ostracised, belittled and punished" him and a fellow plaintiff.

Chevalier's posts were also quoted in Damore's lawsuit against Google. According to Google, the company was enforcing its policy against the promotion of harmful stereotypes. "An important part of our culture is lively debate. But like any workplace, that doesn't mean anything goes. All employees acknowledge our code of conduct and other workplace policies, under which promoting harmful stereotypes based on race or gender is prohibited," Google spokesperson Gina Scigliano said in a statement.

Nice interview by Aleks Krotoski on the Guardian's Tech Weekly podcast this week with game developer Jane McGonigal. In it, McGonigal quotes from a Canadian philosopher Bernard Suits that "a game is an unnecessary obstacle that we volunteer to try to overcome".
She goes on to say that the volunteering aspect is what makes the difference between whether we experience positive or negative stress in trying to achieve a task.
It chimed with me, and not just in the context of games. Work in general is (in the great scheme of things) a series of unnecessary obstacles. The difference as to whether people thrive in trying to overcome those obstacles is whether they see their work as something they have options in, or just something that they are forced to do.
Bad management misunderstands the former options as "do the job or just resign and work somewhere else". Employees who probably do need to move on are the ones who think that they have no options and everything is enforced.

Down in Mooresville
They were shooting a movie there. In the woods, right off the interstate. It was 1991 or 92, and that was the first time I heard of Mooresville. Disney was there. Jonathan Taylor Thomas was there. A kid down the street was JTT's body double and he was there. Everyone, it seems, was there. And there is a place I'd never been.
Mooresville is small – 59 souls. Just off I-565, tucked behind a line of trees and the Tennessee River. It's old (1818). It's beautiful (a saltbox house or two). Insulated. Oldest post office (1840) in Alabama is there. Call boxes that were built before the Civil War. Andrew Johnson was an apprentice tailor. It's a tiny jewel in the crown of Limestone County. Far removed. They were going to build a train station there, but way back when the folks said no. Put it up in Belle Mina.
So, as Tom and Huck filmed, and the paved road became stone, and the boy down the street became famous, and all the girls clamored for a look, the town just smiled. Its had movie stars and Presidents and floods and riches and she's still standing there as always.
Whenever we get home I like to drive in and park by the old church. Walk about for a half hour and see a life that I'll never know. Listen to the quiet, carless streets. See the beehive in the old oak still buzzing. And just imagine what it'd be like to live on the same spot of land for generation after generation.

If you're like many people, you live an extremely hectic life that sometimes leaves little time for the particulars. One activity that often gets lost in the fray is cleaning. Sure, you may do a little straightening up every now and then, but you lack the time or energy to perform a deep cleaning that really makes your home shine. That's why you need the assistance of a cleaning company. Use this information to learn more about why you should hire a cleaning service as soon as possible.
A Clean Home May Be Good For Your Health
One of the most compelling reasons why you should hire a cleaning service is because it could be good for your health. Although you may think that the dirt and grime in your home is merely unsightly, something more sinister may be lying beneath it.
When you fail to clean the nooks and crannies in your home, mold can begin to grow. This is especially true for damp areas, such as the spaces beneath your sinks. If you clean on a regular basis, you may be able to catch the mold before it gets out of hand. However, if you only "tidy" up occasionally, you may miss the growth and deal with serious consequences as a result. Breathing in air that has mold spores in it can be hazardous for your health.
A house cleaning worker who does intense cleaning may be able to catch mold before it gets out of hand. This can be lifesaving for both you and your family.
House Cleaning Companies Free Up Your Time
Another reason why it's such a good idea to hire a cleaning service is because it helps to free up some of your time. Just think about the number of hours that you would have to spend to get your home in shape, and imagine someone else handling it for you.
When your house isn't clean, you may spend hours dreading the thought of having to clean it, or beating yourself up because you keep procrastinating. Don't waste time engaging in these negative activities: Let a cleaning services company take care of it. They'll come out and have your home looking great in no time.
Hiring a cleaning service may prove to be one of the best decisions you could have made. Contact a cleaning service today so you can enjoy these benefits and more.

Multi-objective hotspots and complementary super-spots in the Coral Triangle
Collaboration between Coral Triangle nations makes good sense
The challenge is to work out how regional priorities can be incorporated into national decisions
Establishing new MPAs in multi-objective hotspots provides good benefits for all six regional objectives simultaneously
Defining management actions for marine conservation often involves coordinating the actions of multiple jurisdictions to achieve shared goals. Our recent study in Nature Communications introduces a new framework for how this might be achieved in the Coral Triangle (Beger et al, 2015), a region in Southeast Asia containing around 500 coral species, 3,000 reef fish species, and harbouring the world's largest area of mangroves. Indeed, the region is the world's centre of marine biodiversity (see Decision Point #49).
Collaboration makes good sense. If neighbouring countries share common conservation goals then agreeing on how to meet those goals enables the sharing of resources.
The challenge is to work out how regional priorities can be incorporated in these national decisions. In our analysis, we worked with the Coral Triangle Initiative to map out common goals for coral reef biodiversity, sustainable fisheries and food security, goals that are shared by Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, East Timor, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands (the six member countries of the Coral Triangle Initiative) (Figure 1).
Our work sought to incorporate regional priorities into national decisions. Specifically, we evaluated trade-offs that arise when we use a number of Coral Triangle Initiative objectives to identify places where marine protected areas (MPAs) would be most beneficial.
The objectives we used were to: (1) represent all habitat types, (2) protect fish spawning aggregations, (3) improve the status of threatened sea turtles, (4 and 5) maximise larval dispersal connectivity for coral trout and sea cucumbers, and (6) protect places less affected by climate change.
Using Marxan, we developed two conservation strategies that nations can apply as part of a coordinated multi-lateral collaboration: protecting multi-objective hotspots and protecting complementary top priority areas, super-spots (Figure 2).
Establishing new MPAs in multi-objective hotspots would provide good conservation benefits for all six objectives at the same time. Establishing new MPAs in complementary top priority areas would provide high conservation benefit for one or two of the objectives. When employing this second strategy, countries need to coordinate regionally when targetting the best places for different objectives to ensure protection of complementary areas for all of the objectives.
Concentrating efforts for protection in places where multiple conservation benefits can be achieved simultaneously is obviously appealing. However, it is not always politically equitable or ecologically appropriate. Not all countries have multi–objective hotspots, so focusing on this strategy alone concentrates the conservation burden and benefits unfairly.
Also, conserving only hotspots cannot maximize conservation benefits for all of the objectives. For example, consider 'very important areas' to protect turtles are in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Even though PNG might not have the conservation resources that other countries in the Initiative have, they can contribute to regional commitments by working in one of the turtle top-priority areas.
And, on the topic of turtles, for the first time we also had access to the migration routes of turtles in the Coral Triangle, thanks to the data provided by various groups in the region. We created a map of how each area connects with each other, and are using it to determine the number of turtles that travel between the different reefs – all 17,000 of them.
Working together to protect the multi‐objective hotspots or complementary areas will also help protect fishermen and village livelihoods. Consider fish larvae as an example. They can drift to areas as far as 500 kilometres away from where they were spawned.
It's quite a distance, and it means that fishers in one country – Indonesia, for instance – will benefit from good fish spawning stocks in another country, such as the Philippines, and vice versa. This is why strategic collaboration amongst countries is crucial.
And while this analysis obviously has direct relevance to possible planning decisions in the Coral Triangle, the framework can be applied anywhere. It can be adapted to guide conservation investments worldwide where countries are committed to multi‐national goals, but implement conservation actions independently.
Process-based planning with Marxan
Our analysis used Marxan (www.uq.edu.au/marxan) and developed several new operational mechanisms:
1. Fish spawning aggregations occur in certain points, but fish travel to the sites from afar. We represented this onto-genetic movement by aiming to protect 50% of 20km catchments.
2. Turtle data for nesting beaches and foraging areas were recorded as points, and we applied a 20km buffer and aimed to protect 50% of these turtle areas.
3. Telemetry tracks for around 150 individual turtles were used to create accumulated connectivity matrices. This new method adds links between pairs of planning units when an animal moved between them to create a connectivity matrix for all turtles to use in Marxan with Connectivity. (Also, see the story on page 10)
4. Larval connectivity trade-offs between multiple species were included for the first time (compare dp link to connectivity.)
5. Climate change impacts were modeled as the rate of decline experienced by 'typical' coral species given future temperature and alkalinity regimes.

Operating Under the Influence – Second Offense OUI
A second time offender is anyone that has already been convicted of operating under the influence in Massachusetts or any other state.
Our Results Speak for Themselves
Massachusetts has some of the toughest penalties when it comes to drunk driving — and if you are facing charges of operating under the influence, you should have an even tougher lawyer. The most important decision you can make following an arrest for operating under the influence (OUI) is hiring an experienced lawyer. Our results for our clients speak for themselves, and we encourage you to review some of our drunk driving case results.
What Are The Penalties for A Second OUI Offense?
Anyone convicted of a second-time OUI offense faces the following penalties, fines, and suspensions.
- A minimum mandatory jail sentence of 30 days but not more than 2.5 years.
- A fine of at least $600 but not more than $10,000; or
- A loss of drivers license for 2 years. This is in addition to any suspension that resulted from failing or refusing breath test. Hardship license is available after 1 year.
Mandatory Ignition Interlock and Other Restrictions for Hardship Licenses
Second-time OUI offenders that are allowed a hardship license must install an ignition interlock device on their vehicle. They are not allowed to operate any vehicle that does not have an ignition interlock device. You will also need to adhere to additional requirements for using an ignition interlock device and a failure to do may result in violations that carry severe penalties.
An ignition interlock device is defined as "An alcohol sensing instrument mounted in an automobile and connected to the ignition system to prevent the vehicle from starting unless the driver first provides a satisfactory deep lung air sample. The device analyzes the deep lung air sample to determine the BAC of the operator. If the measured BAC is above .02, the device prevents the vehicle from starting."
A competent attorney can save their client from the 30-day mandatory jail sentence by getting them placed on probation for two years and entered into a 14 day residential alcohol treatment program. Also, if the prior OUI conviction occurred more than ten years ago, your attorney can argue that you be sentence under section 24D which carries less severe penalties including immediate qualification of a hardship license.

I love museums. And art.
My housemate often laughs at my lack of childhood. I have never seen Pokemon, Teletubbies, Power Rangers or those shows my generation used to watch. In my defence, I did watch Barney, Powerpuff Girls and the likes from Astro. When asked to identify theme songs from cartoons, I failed miserably and as a reader, I have never read Sweet Valley Jr High or the Hardy Boys – instead, my recollection of books are of Greek Mythologies and those concerning art, especially on Picasso and Monet. My mum didn't choose the books for me – she isn't the typical tigress people usually stereotype East Asians to be. And I am not trying to sound pompous either; I am in fact just a full-blown nerd, even now.
I remember thumbing through them and finding a whole world of crazy colours and strokes. This is the world I put myself in so imagine my delight when I discover that London's museums and art galleries are mostly free. 6 days there are suddenly not enough – I spend my mornings and afternoons museum-hopping and I discover world after world of accessible art – London has become the best place in the world immediately and unabashedly. I know I am easily bought but really, free entry to museums? I have easily saved a 100 pounds (which I inevitably spend in Primark)
National Gallery
Classical Art lovers will be infatuated. With over 2,300 works, this museum is not an easy one to digest. But with works by Van Gogh, Velazquez, van Eyck (major fangirl moment), Goya, Cezanne and even Raphael and Micheangelo placed all over the exhibit rooms – it would be a waste to miss this one. Right in the middle of Trafalgar Square, this behemoth Grecian architecture is one that entices – especially during the dreary weather of London which is usually cold and rainy. I visited thrice – because I just couldn't get over Van Eyck; I pretty much sear his paintings into the back of my mind while I stand there, starting at every minuscule detail of his canvas for 20 minutes. (Rate: 9.5/10)
National Portrait Gallery
Nestled right behind the National Gallery is the National Portrait Gallery. At first glance, it is unassuming and looks anything but exciting. A London friend of mine urged me to go for this; I relented and eventually spend about 1.5 hours inside starting at -you guessed right- portraits. One of the more famous portraits hung there would be of Kate Middleton, Cecil Beaton and William Shakespeare. Yes. Shakespeare! But alas, while this is worth a short visit, I rather look at Impressionist and contemporary works because the level of mind-blown-ness they inspire in a person is infinite. (Rate: 6.5/10)
British Museum
I visited thrice as well. The third time with a friend, Neil and being a history-junkie as well, we go through the temporary exhibition that is showcasing some propaganda art by the Japanese. I remember him telling me about the incorporation of symbolisms of power into waves – drawn as claws to signify nature's dominance (I am sorry if I got it wrong!). This place is indeed a fond one with it's circular Reading Room. Its thematic viewing – Americas, Asia, Middle East, Ancient Greece and Rome, and Ancient Egypt -is fascinating but as usual, I couldn't help but wonder how did the British procure such exquisite Chinese treasures that are now in display. Neil says to let bygones be bygones; I suppose I should! (Rate: 10/10)
Tate Modern
Seriously. This is one of the best modern art museum ever (although I still think Berlin and Munich still surpass any place in Europe – which is why I can't wait to visit MoMA in NYC soon). On every level, they have two exhibitions. One would be the FOC one and the other would be special exhibitions priced at an average of 18 pounds. Pressed for time, I only look through the free exhibitions and there, I am surprised to see two of Picasso's works and others by Dali and Warhol. I greeted Ernst, Francis Bacon(this is politically necessary of course), Duchamp and Auguste Rodin as well and because Tate Modern is so awesome, it provides free wifi and one could download the Tate Modern app which essentially helps patrons understand the art they are looking at. (Rate: 10/10)
Victoria & Albert Museum
This one is a gemstone because it has anything and everything from architecture, ceramics, design, fashion, jewellery, photography to books and textiles. Anything you can imagine about any civilisation can be found here. It is as though some brilliant guy (there are definitely brilliance involved) decided to congregate all treasures deemed interesting enough for the 21st century person to view here and indeed, to thoroughly browse through the collections, you will need at least four hours.(Rate: 7/10)
I did go to other museums as well – but if you were to ask me which museums I remember from London, these five immediately come to mind. To me, these were the closest thing to home despite a few thousand miles away from the actual thing.

let's tape "it's okay to be male" in schools and restaurants. it would piss off feminist and would help red pill the Norrie population.
Anti feminist
Why just those places?
good point post them in most public places that you can just don't get caught
literally no one goes around in public display saying its not okay to be male
we have hundreds if not thousands of proofs of jews going publically in their speeches and on jewy social networks like twitter speaking that its not okay to be white and that all whites should be ashamed of "slavery" and "colonization" and that ethnostates for whites are bad, but ethnostate for israel is great
Nah, not triggering enough. It's always been okay to be male if you're a shitskin. The only one that really cops it for manhood is whites, everyone else gets a free pass. And half the time we're getting blamed for what the kikes are doing while they parade around as white. This was a shit idea when it was introduced months ago and it still is.
It's ok to be a man. Would work for the beta fucks too.
Caught? It's ok. Just post them in the appropriate manner. Don't break the law. Pussy.
its okay to be gay OP
Did your cuckphone autocorrect your reddit slang
Caught doing what, shlomo? There's nothing illegal here.
"It's ok to be male" doesn't address the core of the issue. Using masculine, terms, such as "it's ok to be a patriarch/patriot/etc" would get closer to the qualities of spiritually strong men the left hates and fears.
It's okay for op to suck cocks
good idea ranjeet i have been denyed my bob and vagene for a last time
1. Use the template for IOTBW, change the phrase to "It's Ok to be a man."
2. Post these in various places.
3. ????
It's okay to be a nigger/jew/spic/poo/coconut/abo male but it's not okay to be a white male…
You're all high if you think it's just about men in general.
however, consider:
It still needs the word "white" in there…
No, it's good like this. Then the'll reply with "oh, it's OK to hate WHITE men". This is really all about the response. To cause THEM to highlight THEIR actual vile nature.
This is not a good campaign. Too easy to twist and kinda pathetic.
Could use a stronger rework? I agree but our enemies are kind of pathetic , think of the shit to trigger the typical social justice college faggot.
I'm going to be honest, user, there isn't really an end goal in mind besides triggering. What's the point? Triggering is fun, sure, but there has to be something effective and substantial here if you want to get something done.
I think that's kind of the issue with every spinoff from It's Okay To Be White. There hasn't been a purpose besides lets trigger some niggers since then. It's easy to make something that triggers college faggots, that's cake, but is that really what we're after?
Just triggering some college kids, then everyone forgets? I don't like it, man.
Holy shit just leave it at the original, when have copycat memes EVER been good?
Fuck me. This is reddit tier trash.
They talk about "Toxic Masculinity" so why not "Masculinity is not Toxic"? Or something like that.
*our obviously
Fuck off with this Reddit-tier crap, Ben Kikepiro. Nobody cares, Sargoy/Petestein's ideas are mainstream and we don't have to be pushing them.
Bad bad bad. Negative stamens are not ok. Negatives are perceived as negative, prohibition and aggression against readers actions. Only use positive statements.
God this shit is so passive aggressive. I know it gets under their skin but it's effeminate as balls.
And so you bump it…
this was what i was going to say, except with a sage. people nowadays dont even know what a man is
Actually, near as I can tell most Holla Forumsacks style themselves as strong men and defenders of women. So basically they are whiteknights and cucks – though they throw the predictable hissy fit just like a woman if you point this out. Also, how could you be so crass as to suggest women aren't superior to men by your obvious misogyny OP? You'll likely get a lot of asshurt slung at you around these parts on this touchy subject..
Women are simply mindless plastic, just be a strong man to mold them properly and they will be perfect human beans thereafter.
Just for keks
Kike found
You oy vey'd pretty hard there rabbi
Could steal from crowder
Male Privilege is a myth.
White privilege is a myth.
Something that sounds more like a challenging their beliefs rather than a meek its ok to be male message.
but if you must

I am a dramatic being. I cry all the time. It's in my nature. Tears weren't meant to be with-held anyways, so I let 'em flow.
Splashed some cold water on my face as is my usual habit when I get to bed by 2:00 am and my eyes are puffy from crying. What can I say? I'm an emotional person. I cry when things happen. It's the estrogen. It's being a girl. Oh don't get me wrong. I am proud of my tears.
You see we, I mean my family, got a phone call yesterday. And my mom's cancer, which we thought was gone, is actually still there. A !@#$&! 12% of it. She'll read this post so I have to watch my language.

The mastermind behind the Paris terror attacks was killed Wednesday during a massive, pre-dawn police raid on an apartment where he was hiding out — and possibly plotting another wave of violence against the City of Light.
Abdelhamid Abaaoud, 27, was blown away when more than 100 cops and soldiers stormed the building just north of Paris and near the Stade de France soccer stadium that was among the targets of last week's bloodbath, the Washington Post reported.
A woman wearing an explosive vest blew herself up and seven people were arrested during the operation that also killed a police dog named Diesel.
The jihadists holed up in a Paris suburb apartment had been planning to attack Charles de Gaulle Airport and a shopping mall before a special forces team stopped them in the nick of time Wednesday, French media reported.
The raid was launched after information from tapped phone conversations, surveillance and witness accounts indicated Abaaoud might be in the apartment in Saint-Denis, French
The terrorists in the apartment were planning a strike at the Paris airport and the Mall of Quatre Temps in La Défense (Hauts-de-Seine), according to France 2. prosecutor Francois Molins said.
The raid resulted in the collapse of an entire floor of the apartment building, where authorities found body parts, the source told CNN.
Police were seen escorting away a man who was naked from the waist down, and another wrapped in a gold emergency blanket.
"As things stand, it is impossible to give you the identities of the people detained, which are being verified," Molins said at the scene. "All will be done to determine who is who, and based on the work of forensic police, we'll tell you who was in the apartment — and what consequences it will have for the development of the investigation."
French President François Hollande praised the bravery of the forces and said that France was "at war."
"It is the entire country that's been attacked," Hollande told a gathering of French mayors. "For what it represents, the fight we are leading to eradicate terrorism. And simply for what we are."
A standoff continued for more than seven hours — with gunfire and loud bangs reverberating throughout the historic suburb.
Four police officers were slightly injured and a SWAT team dog, a Malinois named Diesel, was shot dead by terrorists in the action, police said.
"The operation is over," government spokesman Stephane Le Foll said about 6 a.m. EST.
The city of Saint-Denis also tweeted that a security perimeter was still set up — warning residents not to leave their homes.
A police official said he believed the Belgian Islamic State jihadist was in the apartment along with five others when the raid was launched not far from the Stade de France, where three of the seven attackers blew themselves up on Friday.
A White House official said President Obama, who is in Manila for an economic summit, has been briefed on the raid.
French media also reported that authorities zeroed in on the Saint-Denis apartment from information they retrieved from one of the attackers' cellphones that was found in a trash can near the Bataclan concert hall, where 89 people were massacred.
Seven attackers died in Friday's attacks, which targeted several bars and restaurants and the Bataclan, as well as the national stadium.
The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the carnage.
A man arrested Wednesday during the raid told AFP that he had lent the apartment to the men as a favor to a friend.
"I said that there was no mattress, they told me, 'It's not a problem,' they just wanted water and to pray," the man said, the New York Times reported.
Djamila Khaldi, 54, a cashier who lives near a Gothic basilica nearby, was preparing to take her daughter to the airport when gunfire erupted, the New York Times reported.
She told the paper she was not surprised authorities had tracked the suspects to the neighborhood. She said a friend believed she had seen one of the suspected terrorists, Salah Abdeslam, on Monday.
"She was terrified and she looked at another woman knowing that she recognized him too," Khaldi told the Times. "They did not dare to go to the police."
Abaaoud was believed to be in Syria after a January police raid in Belgium, but bragged in ISIS propaganda of his ability to move back and forth between Europe and Syria undetected.
Hollande held an emergency meeting with senior ministers at the Elysee Palace to monitor the raid.
"We guessed it was linked to Friday night," said Yves Steux, barman at L'escargot restaurant near the raid. "My wife panicked and was scared and told me not to leave, but I ignored her. Life goes on."
Baptiste Marie, a 26-year-old independent journalist who lives in the neighborhood, said a second large explosion was followed by "two more explosions. There was an hour of gunfire."
Another witness, Amine Guizani, said he heard the sound of grenades and automatic gunfire.
"It was continuous. It didn't stop," he said. "It lasted from 4:20 until 5:30. It was a good hour. I couldn't say how many shots were fired, but it was probably 500. Hundreds, definitely. There were maybe 10 explosions."
A US official briefed on intelligence matters said Abaaoud was a key figure in an Islamic State external operations cell that US intelligence agencies have been tracking for many months.
In Saint-Denis on Wednesday, cops cordoned off the area nearby, including a pedestrian zone lined with shops and 19th-century apartment buildings. Riot police cleared people from the streets, pointing guns at curious residents to move them off the roads.
French authorities had previously said that at least eight people were directly involved in the bloodshed: seven who died in the attacks and one who got away and slipped across the border to Belgium.
However, there have been gaps in officials' public statements, which have never fully disclosed how many attackers took part in the deadly rampage.
On Tuesday, officials told the AP they believed at least one other attacker was involved and they were working to identify and track down that suspect.
Surveillance video obtained by the AP also indicated that a team of three attackers carried out the shootings at one of the cafes. The video was among evidence authorities used in concluding that at least one other attacker was at large, the French officials indicated.
The brief clip shows two black-clad gunmen with automatic weapons firing on the bar, then returning toward a waiting car, whose driver was maneuvering behind them.
Authorities believe the car is the same black SEAT-make vehicle that was found Saturday with three Kalashnikovs inside.
Police have identified one subject of their manhunt as Abdeslam, whom French police accidentally permitted to cross into Belgium on Saturday. One of his brothers, Brahim, blew himself up in Paris.
Meanwhile, French fighter jets attacked Islamic State targets in Syria for a third night. The French Defense Ministry said 10 jets had hit two Islamic State command centers in the militants' base of Raqqa, Syria.
France — and the rest of Europe — remained on edge four days after the attacks.
Two Air France flights bound for Paris from the US were diverted Tuesday night — one to Salt Lake City and one to Halifax — because of anonymous threats received after they had taken off. Both were inspected and cleared to resume their journeys.

NYFW begins in two days and frankly, no five letters could ever strike as much fear as they do excitement in my world.
While I certainly used to be able to dedicate more time to the runway in my consulting days (back then it was still Bryant Park, but that's another story), fashion is a friend I refuse to part with. After all, the Restorsea girl is sophisticated and fashion-forward, so I have to try my best to keep up with her!
This week I'm looking forward to seeing lots of dear friends (Mara Hoffman, Maria Cornejo, etc.) take the stage at Lincoln Center and showcase their latest couture. Who are you excited to see?

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? Well, when you're learning a new skill, imitation can also be a great way to hone your craft.
If you're learning guitar, you might pick up a book of Jimi Hendrix's licks or download the chords to a couple of Bob Dylan's songs. So when you're trying to become a better investor, it only makes sense to take a peek at what the professional investors are up to.
For the Fools who don't have the time or inclination to pick individual stocks on their own, Shannon Zimmerman at our Champion Funds newsletter has put together a buffet of mutual funds that have collectively outperformed their benchmarks by 14.8%. For the rest of us, we can tune in directly to what some of the major funds are holding.
You see, the SEC requires institutional investment managers who manage $100 million or more to show their cards via quarterly 13-F filings. So this week, in honor of its recent IPO in London, I dug up Third Point LLC's holdings -- and, to make things even more interesting, I cross-referenced those holdings against what players in the Fool's CAPS community had to say about the stocks.
Below are five of Third Point's larger holdings that have also been highly rated by CAPS players.
Market Value of Third Point Stake
CAPS Rating (out of 5)
PDL BioPharma
$294 million
NYSE Euronext
$129 million
Kansas City
$81 million
$71 million
$66 million
Now, before you jump to it and make any hasty moves, remember that we're looking at what Third Point has done in retrospect. For all we know, since its last 13-F filing the firm has drastically reduced its holdings in any or all of the above stocks. With that in mind, here are some thoughts on a few of these stocks to kick off further research.
Railroads -- so hot right now
While the auto industry has been having some pretty high-profile struggles, some very notable investors, including Berkshire Hathaway's
Buffett's primary rail target has been Burlington Northern Santa Fe
CAPS players have generally favored the railroads, as evidenced by the four-star average rating for the group. Last month, my fellow Fool Brian Pacampara also took some time to kick the tires.
Kansas City Southern, the only rail company above that we haven't mentioned yet, has gotten generally good feedback on CAPS. Though one CAPS player, NicieNicie, calls the relatively small rail "too darn speculative to be anything but a 'racetrack' stock," others, such as CAPS All-Star TheStanley, see things differently:
I think companies will be moving a lot of heavy shipping from the west US coast, where labor unions make doing business a bit more expensive, down into Mexico's more than adequate deep water ports. All that heavy freight that would have come into the US through the [West Coast] ports will now be shipped by rail through [Kansas City Southern's] border crossing on [Kansas City] trains. Combined with increased EPS and solid financials [this stock] seems ready [to] roll.
Third Point currently owns a 2.6% chunk of Kansas City Southern. The fund is joined by Lehman Brothers' asset management arm, Neuberger Berman, which owns more than 12% of the company's outstanding shares, and hedge funds Highbridge Capital Management and Columbia Management, which both own 5%-plus stakes.
Eager to read more commentary from the CAPS community on these Third Point-owned stocks? Hop on over to CAPS and start interacting with the other 60,000-plus CAPS players. While you're checking out these stocks, you can also find out more about more than 4,700 other stocks that are currently rated on CAPS.
More CAPS Foolishness:
PDL BioPharma and NYSE Euronext are Rule Breakers selections. Berkshire Hathaway is a Stock Advisor and Inside Value recommendation. Neuberger Berman is a Champion Funds pick. You can check out any of the Fool's newsletters with a 30-day free trial.
Fool contributor Matt Koppenheffer does not own shares of any of the companies mentioned. The Fool's disclosure policy invests like a pro, but has been told that it plays ball like a girl. It takes that as a compliment.

Just over two weeks ago we set out to change the conversation about immigration in this country, and against the odds, we are actually succeeding. Now it's time to get even more active – and our small team at Define American is going to need your help to do so.
We need YOU to reach out into your community and talk about the personal issues of immigration, especially with people who would not otherwise discuss it, or with people who do not agree with you.
Change.org|Start an Online Petition »
Almost 10,000 people have already committed to having these conversations, and our goal is to reach 25,000 by this Thursday, July 14th, where Jose will announce our collective commitment on The Colbert Report – during an episode fully devoted to immigration and DREAMers.
Will you sign and share the pledge with five people today?
In order to fulfill the pledge we're also asking all of us to consider hosting small watch parties to get together and "watch" the Colbert Report Thursday night, and most importantly have these needed conversations.
You can sign up to host one, or find one near you here:
This is just the beginning, my friends. Throughout the summer and fall, this conversation is going to continue shaping the way more and more Americans think and feel about our immigration system – and it will all be thanks to you and this movement.

It may seem a bit far-fetched to try to diagnose the current banking crisis in terms of Andrew Keen's "cult of the amateur;" but this is a "rehearsal" space. Hypotheses need to be rehearsed before they are ready to be defended through more scrupulous techniques of argumentation. Nevertheless, since so much of what I have written is about the consequences of living in "the world the Internet has made;" I feel a certain need to consider whether or not a crisis that we are all likely to end up paying for is one of those consequences.
Consider the attempt to analyze the situation in the latest issue of The Economist:
This debacle holds lessons for the way Britain regulates its banks. As Mr [Mervyn] King [Governor of the Bank of England] pointed out, defending his performance in front of a House of Commons committee on September 20th, the law prevents the Bank either from staging a covert rescue operation or from engineering a swift takeover; and flaws in the protection of depositors mean that, once an overt rescue operation is under way, depositors will flee. Mr King defended the separation of powers between the Treasury, the Bank and the FSA, but he was wrong to. It has exacerbated the system's flaws: nobody was in charge of the operation.
I have to wonder whether this paragraph has Charles Dickens spinning in his grave or dancing in heaven. Is it not just the latest incarnation of the "nobody's fault" syndrome that dominated the logic behind the circumstances of Little Dorrit? The only difference seems to be that, thanks to globalization, the syndrome now presents itself through transnational dynamics.
Still, this raises a question of causality. Are we just talking about what happens when the principles of globalization encounter an economic "perfect storm;" or is it relevant to bring the Internet into the scene of this particular narrative? Let me try to make my case through a recent catastrophe that had nothing to do with economics. Back when Kathy Sierra was receiving her death threats, I interpreted the circumstances as an argument that we had to get beyond the "amateur" thinking about governance in cyberspace that was flooding the blogosphere. What happened was that my effort to try to start a conversation about governance provoked a counter-reaction to focus on the problem of "getting identity right." In retrospect, I now see this as revealing a need for a more important conversation that never took place: One of the key factors that determines identity is responsibility; and (surprise!) this is also one of the key factors that needs to be addressed in any system of governance, whether we are talking about countries or banks (or, for that matter, setting the agenda for the YearlyKos Convention). Now in confused of calcutta, which had championed the need to focus on identity, we find a reaction to the Economist analysis that basically bemoans the "state where it is no longer possible to lead or 'govern'" because it is beset by "whole armies of intermediaries."
This is an irony that cuts to the core of our current condition: Conversations about governance are easily dismissed as irrelevant when death threats are looming; but, if we are all in danger of losing our money, that is another matter! Nevertheless, the Dickensian logic that I invoked as my point of departure focuses less on how many intermediaries there may be in a social system and more on the extent to which that system is defined by who is responsible for what; and this is where we begin to venture onto the turf of that world the Internet has made. This is a world in which responsibility is assigned to the abstractions of businesses processes, rather than to the individuals who actually implement those processes. The individuals are, thus, amateurs. Theirs is not the amateurism of citizen journalism, which is one of Keen's favorite targets; and but is amateurism nevertheless. Furthermore, it is an amateurism that has insinuated the workplaces of both public and private sectors; and, thanks to the Internet, the consequences of that amateurism are now propagated through those aforementioned transnational dynamics, the same dynamics that Keen examined in analyzing the role of the Internet as an information source. In other words the scope of amateurism is actually far broader than Keen had anticipated!
Is this, then, the ultimate argument that, at least in times of crisis, crowds are more likely to be mad than wise, simply because their "regular social practices" do not encourage, let alone cultivate, wisdom? This would be an extreme position, particularly in light of James Coleman's more disciplined efforts to analyze the "micro-to-macro problem." Nevertheless, Coleman's answer to the question of whether crowds are mad or wise is basically, "It depends;" and I think that one conclusion we can draw is that one of the factors on which the answer to that question depends is that matter of "regular social practices." If these are practices that ignore such social values as responsibility and reflection, then my hypothesis is that madness is the more likely outcome!

Dianthus Description and Cultural Information
Dianthus barbatus, sweet William. 6 - 12". This plant is a biennial or short lived perennial with deep-green, lance-shaped leaves and dense rounded flower heads in mixed bicolors of pink, red, and white. It is very easy to grow from seed and often moves about the garden as a result.
Dianthus deltoides, maiden pinks. 6 - 12". A cute, low growing, mat-forming plant with pink or rose colored flowers in spring and early summer. Much more perennial than sweet William. 'Brilliant' and 'Red Maiden' are god selections with rose to red flowers.
Dianthus gratianopolitanus, cheddar pinks. 9 - 12". The cheddar pinks have wonderful blue-green foliage and a profusion of rose-pink flowers in early summer. 'Mountain Mist' is a spreading variety with pink flowers. 'Firewitch' is a clumping type with deep rose flowers that bloom on and off all season. 'Tiny Rubies' and 'Baby Blanket' have deep pink double flowers. The star series including 'Fire Star' PP#14895, 'Eastern Star' PP#14437, 'Shooting Star' PP#16431, and 'Neon Star' PP#14549 are nice choices in that they are more tightly clumped and bloom on and off all summer long.
How to Grow: Plant Dianthus in average to sandy, well-drained soil in full sun to part sun. They are quite drought tolerant and may rot in wet soil. Propagate by division or stem cuttings plus some varieties are easy to grow from seed. Some varities can become a bit leggy and will tolerate some light trimming in the spring to keep them tidy.
Landscape uses: Plant the low growing Dianthus as an edging plant at the front of the border and in the rock garden. Good companions are artemisia, columbine, sedum, yarrow, balloon flower, Veronica, and baby's breath.

Airborne Ranger combat veteran Spencer Coursen has had a colorful career filled with unexpected plot turns, including an appearance in the movie Zero Dark Thirty. Coursen has since moved on to the OPSEC and PERSEC industry, where he has built his business, Coursen Security Group, as a premier threat management consultant to world leaders, celebrities, Fortune 500 titans, and organizations. Coursen is a strong veteran advocate and mentor. In this article, he details his life as an entrepreneur and what it takes to succeed.
Rangers Lead the Way
A sign outside of Ranger School at Fort Benning, Georgia reads, "Not For The Weak Or Faint Hearted." There's another foreboding sign at Naval Amphibious Base Coronado where SEAL candidates endure Hell Week: "The Only Easy Day Was Yesterday." Both statements reveal hard truths.
Ask anyone who's survived either course and you'll rarely hear stories told with sad regret. Quite the opposite. Stories of gut-wrenching hardship, strife, and struggle are told as colorful anecdotes. Those who endured wear said struggles as a badge of honor. They tell their stories with a comedic smile. It was fun for them.
Embrace the Suck
Someone back at Bragg once told me that the hardest part of Ranger School was hearing all of the stories about how hard it was, then deciding to go anyway. That person was full of shit. I heard them all. I still decided to go. And I can tell you with absolute certainty that listening to those stories was the easiest part of the process. Ranger School was an absolute suck-fest.
I'm 6' 2" and north of two-hundred pounds. It was impossible for me to hide. I wasn't "blending in." I was the big guy. Not the strongest, but not the slowest either. I did, however, screw-up a patrol in Florida phase. When asked if I wanted to recycle or go home, my mindset in that moment set the framework for future success. I cycled back through and graduated with the next class. If you really want to know how bad you want something, volunteer to go through hell a second time; it's a good litmus test of worthiness.
Is there a good litmus test for being an entrepreneur? Not officially, but if you have even the slightest twinge of "risk aversion" it's probably not the life for you. You have to love the struggle. It's not for everyone. I am constantly shocked by how many people are truly terrified of making a mistake. Most people in life willfully sacrifice every dream they ever had to stay where it's safe and warm. They crave the security of comfort.
'Remember Boot Camp? Get Used to Being Uncomfortable Again'
If you want to be an entrepreneur you have to become very comfortable with being uncomfortable. Making mistakes is part of the process. For an entrepreneur, mistakes don't count as failing unless you pack up and go home. If you try again, that mistake you made gets counted as progress. A true entrepreneur never fails. We win or learn.
Want to know the number one difference between the entrepreneur who becomes successful and the one who doesn't? The successful entrepreneur tried one more time. That's it. That's the difference. Never Quit. Being a good entrepreneur is less about what you're doing and more about learning who you are. Struggle builds character. Life lessons make you stronger, smarter, more capable. The journey is never a straight line. It's looks more like a ball of yarn after being tossed by a tornado.
Most of the entrepreneurs I know did not find their success in what they initially set out to achieve. They learned how to pivot. They were heading in one direction, an obstacle appeared, they took a detour and found something better. Part of that entrepreneurial endeavor is the journey. It's learning along the way. It's understanding more and more about who you are, what you're doing, and how you're getting it done. For an entrepreneur, the journey is the reward. Success is just a by product.
Adapt or Die
My own journey was full of pivots.
I became an entrepreneur because I wanted to make a difference. I was working in a field that was benefiting a very small percentage of the population. Very few people will ever know the luxury of having their own protection detail, but everyone deserves to be protected. I wanted to take the service model of helping the few and pivot those same skills to empowering the many.
Here's something people say, but that you really need to take to heart. Having an idea is easy. Making that idea real is ridiculously difficult.
I've had several missed ventures along the way. "Safe Haven" was an idea I thought would change the world. I worked on it day and night for months on end…blood, sweat, and tears. I raised $350 of a $25,000 goal. That was a gut punch. So, I took what worked and threw the rest away. Eventually I got to where I am today. Building a business is a lot like learning your leadership style. Learn from everything and everyone. Take the parts that speak to you, then mix them up, and make them you own.
Here's another important thing to consider: You don't have to buy into the "you either build your own dreams or you work for another to build theirs." It's just not true. The only thing that matters is that you know what "winning" looks like, and that you are taking steps to make that goal a reality.
Adapt, Improvise, Overcome. Repeat.
There's a difference between having an entrepreneurial spirit and being an entrepreneur. I know some brilliant, creative, and innovative people who do some truly amazing work inside a corporate structure. I used to be one of them. There is nothing wrong with a hybrid approach to innovation. There are a lot of great companies which provide the framework and financial security that form a system of support for your innovation to thrive. Go do that. Create, thrive, invest, save, and then, when and if the timing is right to go out and do your own thing…go and do that thing. Become an entrepreneur because you have to. It's not a choice, it's a calling.
Whatever you do, don't become and entrepreneur because you want something. It's easy to look at the advertisements and say, "Yeah. That looks fun. I want that life. I want the nice suit. The expensive watch. The private plane." Don't be fooled. A lot of what you see is just good marketing. Every photo is nothing more than a moment frozen in time. Years of hard work, setbacks, and sacrifice shortened to the shutter-speed of a single frame. What you are NOT seeing is the thousands of hours it took to get there: the tears; the sacrifice; the pain.
Just like the Ranger School grads. Don't be fooled by the comical anecdotes. Don't think it's easy just because they tell good stories. If you want to know the truth, ask to see the bottom of their feet — blisters and bruises tell their own tails about travel and terrain — about where they've been, and what they been through.
I can't tell if you have what it takes to be an entrepreneur. No one can.
You want to be an entrepreneur?
Ok. Great. What's stopping you?

Roasted Nutty and Healthy Eggplant Salad Recipe
Eggplant is super versatile. While eggplant parm is a fan-favorite, it's only scratching the surface of it's possibilities. It has so much more to offer — both in flavor and health-consciences.
This is a yummy and healthy way to enjoy eggplant that is perfect for this time of year when we are all waving goodbye (reluctantly) to summer and there is a bit of a chill in the air. It has a warm, hearty and creamy nuttiness to it without being too heavy.
While this recipe is great with your standard purple eggplant, I prefer to make it with white eggplant, which tends to have creamier and less bitter flavor than its more well-known relative. Enjoy!
Nutty and Healthy Eggplant Salad
- 2 white eggplants, chopped
- 3 gloves garlic, minced
- 1 white onion, chopped
- 2 TB coconut oil, plus 1 TSP additional
- 3 oz goat cheese, reserving 1 TB for garnish
- 1TB chopped fresh basil
- 2 TSP chopped fresh sage
- 1 cup toasted pecans, chopped
- Chopped scallions, garnish
- 2 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 TB raw honey
- 2 TB coconut oil
- 2 TB white wine vinegar
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1 TSP paprika
- 1 TB coconut aminos
– Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
– Cube eggplant into 2-inch pieces.
– Place eggplant in strainer in the sink and salt. Let eggplant sit for 15 minutes.
– Meanwhile, whisk together the raw honey, coconut oil, white wine vinegar, lemon juice, paprika, coconut aminos and fresh back pepper.
– Line baking sheet with foil, wipe away any additional water that has accumulated on the eggplant. Toss with remaining oil and cook for approximately 40 minutes or until golden brown and soft, checking and tossing it frequently.
– Remove eggplant from oven, and toss with marinade, chopped herbs, pecans and goat cheese. Sprinkle scallions over to garnish. Server warm. Enjoy!

About Tiree
Tiree is the most westerly of the Inner Hebrides islands. Unlike some other Scottish islands it is very flat - in fact it is not much above sea-level. Perfect for walkers who don't want to strain themselves too much. The island is also famous for having the highest levels of sunshine in the British Isles. In fact, overall the weather, despite what you might first think, is very mild. The gulf stream means that frost is rare and that summer evenings are warm and pleasant.
You'll also find beautiful long sand beaches to explore and because the island is fairly windy it's also great for wind-surfers. The landscape is unspoilt and you'll find an abundance of birds and other wildlife as you trek along the long unspoiled coastline of this charming and sunny Scottish island.

You generally have three choices - 1) to take a new policy with the same company as your COBRA extension of the company policy - but will be an individual policy at typically MUCH higher cost, and typically higher deductibles2) get coverage under Obamacare - and may the powers that be have mercy on your soul3) get individual coverage from an insurance company outside of ObamacareGenerally, because you are involuntarily losing your current coverage, you are eligible to sign up for obamacare coverage even though it is not open enrollment season yetYou can read up in more detail at the Obamacare website (www.healthcare.gov), and of course at indepent provider sites like hyour state's BlueCross/BlueShield; and also of course thousands of websites if you google "health insurance coverage" or similar term.Generally if you make total income in the range where you would get a substantial subsidy under Obamacare, that coverage will be cheapest, though the cheap version (Bronze or Silver) will probably not have the coverage level you had under your employer plan - you will have to go outside the marketplace or with a Gold plan to get near that, and probably at something like a 25-200% cost increase over whst you pay now.
