text:
Last night at the National Liberal Club, Liberal International British Group hosted a panel discussion on the political situation in Egypt, with former Nile TV presenter Shahira Amin, democracy activist Ahmed Naguib (via skype), the Treasurer of Liberal International, Robert Woodthorpe Browne (who has been involved in a lot of the Westminster Foundation for Democracy's recent work in Egypt) and myself. As the discussion was (rightly) held under the Chatham House Rule, I cannot divulge what any of the others said, but I can share some of the things I talked about. As the two Egyptian participants gave such a comprehenesive and coheremnt picture of today's political realities and challenges, I complemented their presentations by reminding people about the highs and lows of the mood on Cairo's Tahrir Square in January/February 2011, including the prominent role played by brave women and the way that Muslims and Christian Copts protected each other when they were at prayer. But those who dubbed the phenomenon that started in Tunisia the previous December "The Arab Spring" were always way out on their time-frame. I believed that then and believe it even more strongly now: it will be 30 or 40 years before it becomes clear how the whole New Arab Awakening works out, but what is sure is that Egypt is the test case of its success or failure. It has always had a pole position in the Arab mentality, not just because it is by far the most populous nation in the the Arab world but also because of Cairo's (Sunni) religious and intellectual pre-eminence. Field Marshal Sisi's victory in the recent presidential election was a foregone conclusion, though it was notable that in each electoral district there were tens of thousands of spoiled ballot papers. But for the majority of Egyptians (rather than the wealthier, educated elite) the prime concern at the moment is economic survival: bread not ballots. Western commentators like myself rightly focus on matters such as human rights abuses, including the systematic use of torture in detention centres. But the key thing that any Egyptian government, now and for the foreseable future, has to tackle is how to overcome the huge inequalities in Egypt and to provide enough, reasonably-paid work for the predominantly young population. Otherwise, there is likely to be a growing, disenchanted body of youth who could be tempted by something far more radical than the Muslim Brotherhood that was ousted from power. And that bodes ill.

Israel: Get Back to the Table!
Posted by jonathanfryer on Saturday, 26th April, 2014
This afternoon, at the Liberal International Congress in Rotterdam, I successfully moved an amendment on behalf of the UK Liberal Democrats to the Middle East section of the traditional World Today resolution, reviewing topical issues of global concern. Since the text had first been drafted, news came through that Israel was pulling out of talks with the Palestinians because of the new deal between Fatah (the Palestinian Authority) and Gaza's Hamas, which have agreed to form a joint platform. The British amendment praised John Kerry for working tirelessly to get the peace negotations back on track, but criticised Israel's Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu for pulling the plug on talks. Moreover, negotiating with a united front of Palestinians is more likely to mean that Hamas will clmp down on Islamic Jihad and other extremist groups, I believe. I argued from the position of a Brit who lived through IRA bombings in Manchester and London and therefore understands that one makes peace not with friends but with enemies. I got quite emotional when recalling the state dinner given earlier this month by Queen Elizabeth to the Irish President, at which former Sinn Fein bogey-man Martin McGuinness was welcomed by the monarch, despite the fact that the IRA blew up her cousin, Lord Louis Mountbatten, in 1979. I said that I looked forward to the day when Shimon Peres, or whoever succeeeds him as Israeli President, welcomes Palestinian leaders, including current Hamas figures to his residence, because that will mean that peace and security have become a reality. It saddened — but didn"t suprise — me that the Israelis present protested that we cannot expect them to talk to "terrorists", and a few prominent pro-Israelis — including outgoing Liberal Internatinal President Hans Van Baalen also oppossed the amendment and the idea that talks should resume. Fortunately, the amendment was carried — albeit by not a very large margin. and with many abstentions — which I thought was a very positive result. One thing that particularly saddens me, however, is that so many Israelis — even many Liberals — don"t realise that their narrative of the conflict doesn't hold water and that not just Europe but increasingly many Americans (including American Jews) are no longer prepared to stand up for Israel, right or wrong.

Syria and R2P
Posted by jonathanfryer on Saturday, 13th April, 2013
Today at the Liberal International Executive in Beirut there was a special session on Syria, its title asking the provocative question whether the crisis and the international community's failure to find a resolution to it signals an end to the Responsibility to Protect. Keynote speakers included former LI President John Alderdice, who I have often worked with, and former Thai Foreign Minister Kasit Piromya, who I had dealings with when I was doing project evaluation and training for his Democrat Party in Bangkok a few years back. I not surprisingly agreed with almost everything John said though I argued that to call R2P a "doctrine"m as he did, was unfortunate as it is rather a principle of evolving International Law. Kasit, as a good Buddhist, argued that the lessons from Indonesia (Suharto) and Burma (the military junta) suggest that we should not seek revenge for what Bashar al-Assad and his family and cohorts have done, but rather show forgiveness. I countered that the Syrian regime's crimes have been so heinous that for justice to be done he and his brother Maher should be brought before the International Criminal Court in The Hague (which got a gratifyingly hearty round of applause from the Lebanese present, in particular). I maintained that Western military intervention in Libya had been correct, under R2P, even if the outcome is not entirely smooth, whereas I fear any Western military intervention in Syria would only make things worse. Instead, the Arab League — possibly with the addition of Turkey — should take the lead and try to convene a workable peace conference, though in the meantime considerable diplomatic pressure needs to be brought to bear on Russia and China, two of Syria's strongest allies.

Sergei Mitrokhin and Liberals in Russia
Posted by jonathanfryer on Monday, 12th November, 2012
Being a Liberal in Russia is a risky vocation, as putting one's head above the parapet politically is an invitation to harrassment, arrest, criminal proceedings and heafty fines or imprisonment. High profile anti-establishment activists such as Pussy Riot get lots of foreign media attention and noises of sympathy from the outside world, of course, but even in their case that did not stop two of their number being sentenced to two years detention each in different gulags. Alas, as the leader of Russia's Liberal Party Yabloko, Sergei Mitrokhin, detailed in a speech at Westminster this lunchtime, the long arm of President Putin's law is getting firmer. He highlighted three aspects of particular concern regarding the current political situation in Russia and the crackdown against Liberal forces. First, there are the political reprisals, which have seen key Yabloko activists charged — often on false evidence — for demanding action against high-level corruption, for example. Second, Sergei stressed the hardening of laws and the suppression of civil rights under various amendments to the legal and civil codes. One good (i.e. bad) example is an amendment which will mean that Russian NGOs receiving grants from international bodies must now register as "foreign agents". And last but not least in the litany of adverse developments, is what Sergei called the "clericalisation of the state", in other words the way that a very conservative form of Russian Orthodoxy has now been melded into a state ideology which is dangerously nationalistic, anti-Western and anti-Liberal. Today's gathering, at Portcullis House, was sponsored by Simon Hughes MP, Lord Alderdice and Liberal International, and in the discussion period after Sergei Mitrokhin's speech I inquired exactly what helpful actions groups such as LI and the British Liberal Democrats can take to help Yabloko, without jeopardising its activists. Training in election strategies and techniques is something that I and others from the LibDems have done in various parts of the world, through the all-party Westminster Foundation for Democracy, and that may be the best answer — other than heartfelt moral support.

European Liberal Democrats in the Caucasus
Posted by jonathanfryer on Sunday, 13th May, 2012
It was daring — even brave — of the Armenian National Movement to invite the European Liberal Democrats (ELDR) to convene a Council meeting in Yerevan this week, only days after general elections were held in Armenia, about which they have cried foul. ELDR has never had a meeting on such a scale in the Caucasus before, but it was doubly valuable for European Liberal Democrat Council members as the Liberal International organised a side-trip fact-finding mission to Georgia beforehand. I was involved in both, as the (UK) Liberal Democrats' representative on the Executive of Liberal International and an elected member of the ELDR Council. I was in Armenia six years ago, travelling widely around the country, so it was fascinating to see how the capital Yerevan has been rapidly modernising, though the countryside has changed little and indeed gives the feeling of still being back in the Soviet era, only friendlier. But there was also a big contrast between Georgia (a first for me) and Armenia. In Tbilisi, our Georgian hosts — the Georgia Dream coalition — gave a very critical appraisal of how they see democracy fumctioning in their homeland, whereas the government — who looked after us for half a day — put a different spin on the state of affairs. But whoever was right about whichever issues there is no denying that Georgia is a place willing itself onto an upward trajectory, much aided by the abolition of widespread earlier corruption and personal insecurity. Most Georgians are anxious to get into NATO and one day into the EU as well; the 12-Star flag of Europe is prominant everywhere alongside the Georgian red cross. We were taken to the Line of Occupation on the edge of South Ossetia to remind us of just how close and real the Russian occupational presence is. In Armenia, in contrast, there is more of a Russian flavour to the capital, but of course there is also a big influence of the Armenian expatriate community from France and the United States, some of whom are presumably financing the massive amount of reconstruction going on. In the ELDR Council and contiguous special sessions we heard a lot from NGOs and others about alleged irregularities in last Sunday's poll. But there was also, among other things, a fascinating session on LGBT Rights in the South Caucasus, organised in conjunction with the two Dutch Liberal parties (the VVD and D66) as well as International Liberal Youth (IFLRY). Just days ago a gay-friendly bar in Yerevan was set alight by far right activists, but nonetheless there is a lot of positive conscious-raising on equality issues (even in Georgia, where over 90% of the population say they disapprove of LGBT activism). The black hole as far as the Armenians are concerned seems to be Azerbaijan, but as I know from a visit there not all that long ago, things are modernising apace in Baku, financed by oil money, even if the regime is pretty authoritarian. All in all, the Caucasus is a region with huge political and economic potential, desperate to be seen as European, while at the same time retaining its diverse specificities.

Responsibility to Protect
Posted by jonathanfryer on Friday, 14th October, 2011
This afternoon, at the Liberal International Executive at the National Liberal Club in London, I gave a presentation on my paper on Responsibility to Protect, which will be the theme of a day-long conference in the capital tomorrow. I argued that Liberals have to approach the subject from the perspective of their core values, such as freedom, human rights and the Rule of Law. International Law is evolving constantly, and for the past decade or so, R2P — as it's known in the trade — has become a core issue of concern when governments show themselves unable or unwilling to protect their populations from genocide, gross human rights violations such as systematic rape etc; then there comes a time when the international community must react. Ideally, the first responsibility is to prevent: to take preventive action before things get too bad. Then there might be the responsibility to act: perhaps first by economic sanctions — military intervention must be a last resort, but it will sometimes be necessary. And lastly there is the responsibility to rebuild. As we have seen recently in Libya, such intervention can succeed, when it is genuinely supported not only by a significant proportion of the local population but also by other countries in the region. But often the world is reluctant to intervene or else the UN Security Council blocks things because of the political alignment of one or more of its permanent member states. This may mean that regions increasingly have to take on the role of policing the behavour or countries in their area, though thar is by no means simple in all cases. One hopes tomorrow's conference might produyce some guidelines.

Aung San Suu Kyi: 65 and Still Not Free!
Posted by jonathanfryer on Friday, 18th June, 2010
Earlier today I joined several of my fellow members of English PEN's Writers in Prison Committee, numerous red-bandanna'd young Burmese and other well-behaved protesters outside the Burmese Embassy in London's Mayfair, marking Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi's 65th birthday, which actually falls tomorrow (19th June). I'll be taking part in a big commemorative gathering in Hendon on Sunday as well. Suu Kyi and her National League for Democracy (NLD) had an election stolen from them by the military in 1990 and she has spent 14 of the last 20 years under house arrest. Many of her NLD colleagues and other political activists — including monks — have suffered far worse imprisonment, torture and death. Alas the world seems impotant to do anything about it, although the condemnations of the military's behavious has been widespread. US President Barack Obama marked Suu Kyi's birthday with a plea for her release. She has received many prizes — including Liberal International's Prize for Freedom — but prizes and pleas are not enough. The Burmese regime, which is oe of the nastiest and least accountable on earth, needs to be brought to its knees or its senses.

Liberal International Resolution on the Middle East
Posted by jonathanfryer on Monday, 14th June, 2010
At the weekend Executive of Liberal International in Berlin, I successfully moved (on behalf of the British Liberal Democrats) an urgency resolution following on the recent Israeli attack on the Gaza aid flotilla. Though it was slightly softened after negotiation with the Germans and Dutch, it is by the far the strongest statement to have come out of any of the political internationals so far. Only two people present at the Executive voted against it (both Israelis, surprise, surprise!). The text reads:
Liberal International Executive in Berlin:
— deplores the use of force by Israeli commandos in stopping the flotilla carrying aid to Gaza;
— deplores the violence used by some activists on board the flotilla;
— expresses shock at the resultant deaths and injuries aboard the Turkish-flagged Mavi Marmara, and at the treatment of its crew and passengers;
— demands the resotration of the liberty of the Israeli Arabs who have been on board the flotilla;
— supports the UN Security Council's call for a prompt, impartial, credible and transparent inquiry into this violent clash between Israeli armed forces and activists to avoid immense future damage to both Israel's reputation and its security;
— [believes] the inquiry must fully examine the actions of all parties, including claims of weapons possession, and establish the precise facts and responsiblity for the chain of events, and report for consideration to the Security Council;
— strongly calls on the Middle East Quartet, and the US government in particular, to urge all partuies to return to the Road Map and observe international law.

LibDems The Only True British Internationalists
Posted by jonathanfryer on Monday, 15th March, 2010
The Liberal Democrats are the only truly internationalist party in Britain — as well as being the only committed Europeans — according to the party's Foreign Affairs spokesman, Ed Davey MP, who gave a brief address at the annual reception for London's diplomatic corps hosted by the British Group of Liberal International (LIBG) at the National Liberal Club this evening. The warm-up act was (Lord) David Steel, former Liberal Party leader and an earstwhile President of the worldwide Liberal International. Malcolm Bruce MP, LIBG President and Chairman of the House of Commons' select committee on International Development, ended the formal part of the proceedings by on the one hand welcoming the fact that the Labour government has been moving towards the UN goal of devoting 0.7% of GDP to overseas development aid while on the other, chiding them for not progressing on this more quickly.
It was interesting to see just how many Ambassadors and High Commissioners turned up, which reflects how seriously the Liberal Democrats are being taken by the diplomatic corps in the run-up to what promises to be an exciting election. It was good to spot among those present the High Comissioner of South Africa and the Ambassador of Panama, both of whose countries will be hosting Liberal International meetings in the months to come.

An Evening with Jacob Zuma
Posted by jonathanfryer on Tuesday, 2nd March, 2010
The timing of the South African President Jacob Zuma's state visit to Britain is particularly auspicious: it's the 20th anniversary of the release from prison of Nelson Mandela and today is exactly 100 days before the Republic hosts the FIFA World Cup. An interesting mix of London's diplomatic corps and the business world rubbed shoulders with old anti-apartheid campaigners such as (Lord) David Steel and Paul Boateng in the Dorchester Hotel's ballroom tonight. But the message of President Zuma (who brought along only one of his wives to the festivities) and the support staff from the South African marketing board was very much one of selling the country as a progressive and high-achieving brand as it prepares to hosts the Games. The President raised a laugh (given his own recent chequered career) by announcing that South Africa will introduce 24-hour courts to execute 'instant justice' during the Games, but it is true that the country needs to reassure the world that it is indeed safe to travel to the World Cup, despite it having the highest per capita murder rate in the world. I will be discovering the reality myself in November when I attend the Liberal International Executive in Cape Town — my first journey back there for many a year. But it's fair to say that the world wants not only the football bonanza to succeed but the 'rainbow nation' championed by Madeba (Nelson Mandela), Desmond Tutu and others as well.

Review: YouTube Capture lets you create videos with your iOS devices
Record and share YouTube videos directly from your iPad or iPhone.
There are a handful of apps on the App Store that provide enhancements to the relatively lackluster recording tools included in iOS 6 for the iPhone and iPad. None of them, however, were created by the owner of the world's largest video depository--Google--until now. YouTube Capture is Google's first integration of YouTube-friendly recording, editing, and uploading tools with the iOS platform. In many ways, it is a much-needed upgrade over the existing tools of the Camera app, but is it worth replacing Apple's built in tools altogether?
When you first open YouTube Capture you are asked to log in to your YouTube or Google account. Both are optional if you want only to record local videos. If you do connect your account, however, you can instantly upload new videos to your YouTube profile without any additional steps. As you complete the tutorial, you can link your account to other social networks, as well, including Facebook and Twitter. Recording a video is easy--just tap a button and record--but you can take it a step further once you are done, with color correction, stabilization, trimming, soundtrack integration, and privacy settings --all right on the page.
When YouTube Capture works perfectly, it is one of the best video editing and sharing apps on the App Store. However, with a handful of bugs in its early release and some issues with older iOS devices, there is more work to be done. Performance issues notwithstanding, though, if you are looking for a sound replacement for the Camera app on your iPhone or iPad, this is it.

to ObservantW:and"Sneak and unlawful attack"I have seen on Russian TV how Tskhinvali was being evacuated during a week before military actions. So you must have seen them too.You are doing this propaganda on purpose!
to ObservantW:" -Alex-, as to worshiping Stalin – I don't dare to speak out the common knowladge (well known in the former USSR areas) about general Georgian arrogant attitude toward Russians and especially to other their formers "brothers". "I don't understand what attitude you are talking about?!Our cultural background was a bit different, so we sought you were sick doing such Russian things and you thought we were sick doing such Georgian things.And about Stalin?! Not only Russians and Ukrainians were killed at that times. My great grandfather was killed in 1937. In town Senaki, that by the way was bombed recently by Russians, was killed 1000 man in one day! Aristocracy were displaced to far east and Georgia rebelled at Stalin times. Stalin gave Georgian land to Azerbaijan wile he was widening Russian territories. So Stalin did nothing good for Georgia. Did he for Russia?Beria was one of the most hated person in Georgia. But he was involved later, so don't blame "Gulag" to him, he has enough sins.
I am just surprised that "well informed person" like you digests news that Putin controlled TV supplies its citizens without having any questions.
Why intelligent man like you do not question how it is possible to bring thousands of tanks to the neighboring country within the hours? May be the answer is very clear Russian army was in South Osetia well before the August 7.
Did you ever think why Russian army pulled its forces to Georgia also from the west? What does Poti and Senaki has to do with South Osetia? Did you ever look at the Georgian map?
Why Russian planes were setting fire in Georgian forests in Borjomi and Abastumani?
Why they were bombing airports in Tbilisi and Marneuli?
Why Georgian government does not have right to defend its citizens leaving in the villages adjacent to South Osetia who were shelled and killed on every day basis? And why only Russia has the moral authority to defend its citizens worldwide?
Did you ever question how Osetians and Abkhazians leaving in Georgia received Russian passports so quickly? Is not it because Russia has planned everything well before?
Do you really believe that Russia wants to defend its citizens in Abkhazia and South Osetia, what about its citizens in Chechnya why they were not defended? Or there are some ethnic groups about whom Russian government cares and others can be wiped out?
Do you ever think about what Putin's real aim is in Georgia?
There are too many questions intelligent man will have about Russian dealings in Georgia.
"Sneak and unlawful attack"- I guess you are just the victims of Russian propaganda, you have watched Russian media too much and do not have any other source of information. "
I, for example, have subscriptions for two cable networks – both of them have BBC, CNN and some other western networks It cost $20 a month and halve of population in Moscow has it. – I watch then as well as Russian news channels.
Are American or British people have a chance to see something but Fox/CNN/BBC crap at all??
Just for you to understand I'll give you an example of the coverage of the Georgian-S.Osetian conflict.
Isn't that strange, that first 16 hours of this war, started at 23-30 on 7th of August, when after 2 hours of Saakashvilli peace talks announcement for tomorrow, when all civil population got asleep in their houses in Tshinvali (S.O.) and Georgian Army having cut off electricity and water from the city, started flattening the entire city – for all this nightmare times, with vivid life pictured shown by Russian TV didn't let sleep people in Russia – all this 16 hours BBC and CNN hasn't notice the "news"?
By the way – it is also quite strange that Mr.Saakashvili so loved in the west and was absolutely silent about "a column of Russian tanks entering S.Ossetia first"…
And when Russian 58th Army, 16 hours later, when Georgian destroyed the city, enter the South Ossetia to protect their peacekeepers and civil population both BBC, Fox and CNN accordingly started to blame Russia in invasion in same words, always showing by the way pictures of destroying Tshinvali by Georgian American armed Forces and saying that this is Georgia under Russian assault ???
"Sneak and unlawful attack"- I guess you are just the victims of Russian propaganda, you have watched Russian media too much and do not have any other source of information. How can one justify bombing of civilians far from the conflict zone in Gori and other Georgian cities? How can Russia justify ethnic cleansing that is still continuing in Georgian villages? It is cynical to claim that Russians do care about Osetians and Abkhazians, the only thing Putin wants is to punish Georgia for not being Russian slave.
To David1234
"Putin continually is keeping blocking the proposition to recognize Stalin's act as an genocide against Ukrainians!"
Don't you tired of stupid propaganda, Dave?
Even in the mentioned fact you lie again.
Yes, Stalin and his KGB chief Beria (both Georgians) are responsible for millions death of Russian, Ukrainian, Kazakhs and other people) on the 30-s and later.
One of the biggest crime of Stalin regime was his behavior in two Great Famines (1921-1922 – Russia) in 32-33 (Ukraine, Russian, and other regions of USSR). Millions had passed away unhelped and even forced to die, 99% are rural residents who don't want to join collective farmer state enterprises – Stalin's favorite idea.
If you are Georgian – you know to well that this Stalin crime against those mostly individual farmers, but this not Stalin's (as it presented by Ukrainian nationalists) – genocide against Ukrainians, simple because Russians and all other soviet people has is own VAST death toll.
And that isn't Putin, but the greatest majority of Russians and of other people and indeed UN itself think that placing Ukrainians as the only victim of Stalin is the sacrilege and a crime against history and against millions of non Ukrainians who is Stalin victim as well.
So that is the nature of Propaganda – just to twist a bit well known fact… Shame!
But I understand why you recalled that here – it is because the biggest spokesman of this "anti-Ukrainian genocide" is the Ukrainian president Uschenko, who also supported Georgia in its aggression against civil people S.Ossetia.
I have to say – that he is in a great minority on both issues in his own country (5% support).
BTW: Pols remember the UPA–Ukrainian Nazi units working hard under the German-SS supervision as butchers killing thousands native Pols mainly woman and children in 600 Polish (mostly) Belorussia villages and in during WWII.
Nationalist's leader and President Uschenko awarded national Ukrainian hero status to the commander of that UPA nazi units – Shuhevich.
TO Obserwantw,I come from Georgia and i can assure you that NON of my friends and people around like Stalin, they hate him more than anyone else, the absolute minority of old people sympathizes him and the reason to this is that during the soviet times from the very childhood Stalin was presented to them as a strong leader and the man who defeated Hitler, its been only few years ago that they found out that actually he was bad. Besides, recently in RUSSIA there had been published 11 books about stalin and NON of them criticizes him! Putin continually is keeping blocking the proposition to recognize Stalin's act as an genocide against Ukrainians! Few years ago I was was on Arbat (Russian wall street) in very famous book shop and guess what was bestseller?! Book about Stalin, describing him as an phenomenal manager and leader, who had to act cruelly given the circumstances! No one is hiding the increasing popularity of Stalin in Russia!So please stop posting misleading information here when you know little about it, in fact nothing! P.S. The more you go to east the more popular Stalin is, president of Kirghistan up today has his picture in his office, however he is used against Georgia cheaply...
Some words to -Alex- and our Georgian forum participants – you cannot build lasting sovereign country with sustained development, basing on lies, hostility to you neighboring countries and people, acting as a _stooge_of_USA_ - swiftly becoming Russia's enemy aclively looking for the means of weaking Russia.
And for "westerners" - how do you think VICTIMS in S.Ossetia feel about the West, trying to hide Georgian aggression and atrocities committed, helping economically and militarily to aggressor? Will that help establish peace and calm in Caucasus?
-Alex-, as to worshiping Stalin – I don't dare to speak out the common knowladge (well known in the former USSR areas) about general Georgian arrogant attitude toward Russians and especially to other their formers "brothers".
That is way I gave very rare western evidence of it:
The Times:
At the time of my visits, Stalin, a Georgian by birth, was still officially a non-person, airbrushed by his successors from the annals of Soviet history. But in defiance of Moscow his portraits could still be seen in Georgian state farms and government offices. I asked a Georgian official why this was so. "Because he killed so many Russians," came the sardonic reply.
Ask for a glass of the delicious Georgian spring water called Borjumi and you will be proudly told it was "Stalin's favourite drink".
A heroic statue of that murderous dictator still stands in his home town of Gori, which took such a battering in the recent conflict.
Beria, Stalin's KGB chief – the organizer of "Gulag" system and responsible for millions death of Russian, Ukrainian and other people – was also Georgian.
to ObservantW:You are spreading propaganda or you really don't know what is going on.I live ~100km away and I don't need CNN/BBC to know what happened. At late August about 20% of population in my town were displaced people from conflict regions. So your youtube is not telling me much.Georgians don't warship Stalin. Russians do more probably. Gori is his home town so that's why his statue is still there. I hope it will be removed soon.I am just curious. Why don't you Russians understand that no Georgian solders stepped on Russian land and Russian soldiers invaded Georgia. You all have seen what Russians do in Chechnia but still have excuses about SO.Russian people may not know that conflicts in SO and Abkhazia are not ethnic, that they are political and artificially created by Russian government but all Russians must see border line on the map?!
The price Russia will pay for this irresponsible act of recognizing independence on Abkhazia and Osetia is long long in coming and will be very high! These are the autonomous republics of Russia: Adygea Altai Bashkortostan Buryatia Chechnya Chuvashia Dagestan Ingushetia Kabardino-Balkaria Kalmykia Karachay-Cherkessia Karelia Khakassia Komi Mari El Mordovia North Ossetia-Alania Sakha Tatarstan Tuva UdmurtiaIn total 21, plus to this few autunomous regions : Chukotka Khantia-Mansia Nenetsia Yamaliathese These republics(which were countries just 100 years ago) have their own much much long history than Russia and had been occupied by Russia mostly during 1901-1930. This is not long time to forget your history and not to think about freedom.very few of them, in fact three have less potential to live independent from Russia, the rest are very rich oil and gas stocks of Russia.What I see after 15 years (according to most researches Russias oil consumption will be hardly met by its own oil production) is weaken Russia, no petrol money anymore(90% of GDP comes on oil and gas). broken international ties , rotten economy (Putin does his best to make economy worse and worse with scaring away international investors), many enemies etcBe sure that Georgia will not hesitate to recognize independence of the above mentioned republics and at that time Georgia will be NATO member! Plus it is bordering with Chechnia, Osetia, Ingushetia and Dagestan(most rebellion regions of Russia) which makes Georgians easily tempted in suppling guns to them.The end of this will be that in around 20 years, maybe earlier or later Russia will join NATO, but first it will fall apart and part by part! of course lot of blood will be spelled and it will be painfull.now tell me Mr. Putin, is it worth of doing so much evil for something that is so abstract- to be called superpower?
Good to see the support for Saakashvili is not at Churchill levels anymore. He is not a great leader using any comparisons, he is your average sleazy politician and never should have been given the moral support he was given when the conflict started.
=Georgia sent in an ill prepared and ilequiped army with little to no planning and russia laid a trap for them and sprung the trap. =
You know if annoying dog, bite a bear and as react is heavily hit - is that a trap?
Or whos this trap is?
To Darth Yoda,You are posting absolute misleading information, i come from Abkhazia and I saw who left where, absolute majority of the people left for Georgia! How they could leave for Russia when on the other side were joint milisias consisting of cold blooded Russians and Chechens slottering Georgians?About Georgian criminals caught in Russia, you named 3 of them, out of three hundred who were captured on the gathering, besides Georgians are about 5 millions, some one millions is living in Russia, are this three criminals enough to depart all of them? Your Kremlin washed your brain so much that you lost the sense of seeing things correctly, you only see what you want to see!
"Systematic destruction, looting and ethnic cleansing of Georgian villages continue, both in and beyond South Ossetia proper."Russia withdrew troops. Who is looting and doing ethnic cleansing? The author is quick to state queer things that are to be interpreted as "facts"."another case of Russian aggression" - typical propaganda twist stating one sided opinion as a fact.Repeating lies does not do any good."And Georgia is already home to more than 200,000 refugees left from the wars in the early 1990s."it has to be added - from the wars that Gamsakhurdia started to subdue these autonomous republics, and failed because people did not want to be with Georgia.This article is really disgusting piece of propaganda.
What I have seen here in Georgia is simply in the leadership of both sides nothing but criminal behavior. Both in Moscow and in Tbilis, Georgia sent in an ill prepared and ilequiped army with little to no planning and russia laid a trap for them and sprung the trap. The georgian army did a great job of retreating and leaving all the civilians to deal with the ethnic cleansing and the Russia Army with direction from the highest levels gave the militias a free hand in looting, burning, and stealing.this is still going on. The gerogian government is not using the IDP as an excuses to suck all the foreign aid possible and the IDP's be damned. the housing they are building for them are no better then the tents in gori and with no infrastructure, so expect much disease and death amoung these people. But that is not important because the georgian government will use the ribbon cutting as a great PR event and then everyone will forget these people. whatever the reasons for the war and much of this was caused by money and personal animosity between the leadership, the aftermath for the georgian people is they need a new president quickly, one that actually implements democracy and not talks about it while becoming closer to Stalin.
To Ronald: Well as far as it looks today, Russia is in a better position than US, maybe America is the one that needs an 'economic' revoultion.
The situation in the world is such that nobody should be playing the blame game, there are economic issues to be dealt with right now, that should be the main focus.
@ntrqc89You put several interesting comments, but I afraid that based more on dreams rather than on reality. Let's look at IT. If you can quote source saying that Russia is number 3 in IT oursourcing - appreciate. I do not believe in that. Issue is not related to skills of Russian IT employees, but with: legal regulations, lack of protects of copyrights and, sorry to say, with enormous corruption in Russia. I can take a bet that much more IT outsourcing centers were built in Romania, Poland and Czech, not even motioning Brazil and Mexico. I know one example of IT company which build large R&D center in parallel in Russia and one of Central, Eastern European countries (let me keep details in secrecy). Due to enormous corruption and legal nightmare in Russia the Russian one have less than 50 employees once the second one in CEE around 1000 engineers. Russia made dramatic political mistake by assuming that is still superpower, instead of simply focusing on long process of building credibility. The second scenario would be no doubt way for prosperity of Russia, when the first one is simply political suicide.Once you said about avionics business, no. 3 in passenger jet business after US and UE is Brazil (Embaer). Additionally I am not aware about any worldwide well know Russian brand in technology. I am sorry to saying that because I admire Russian culture. Unfortunately cost of mistake might be very high for Russian people.Regards
Dear MaSZ,
I haven't said anything about Putin, I've just put some light on usual Georgian lies about Stalin – in the West they call him a dictator – but at home they are worshiping him – polishing its statures and so on. We know too well who those nationalist Georgian are – the prove – couple of quotes from BBC and Times below.
PS – Saakashvili is deeply affected by Stalin complex.
@ObservantWBy using nationalistic argument about Stalin origin you probably forgot that Putin said that the deepest tragedy of XX century was collapse of Soviet Union. Using your nationalistic argument: The Leader of Real Russians complained that USSR doesn't exist any longer.
Russia needs its own rosey/orange revolution, it's long overdue. How long great nation is ready to take this kind of double penetration with facial salute every day again and again...???

Consumers may find it difficult to differentiate this from the 2010 Ste. Michelle version of the same wineboth are 100% Cold Creek vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. But this one, bottled under the Northstar label, has more muscle, more power and more depth. Tannic, thick and darkly fruited, its a tightly-wound yet expressive effort, with complex flavors that move from black cherry and cassis into fig, tar, tobacco, espresso, dark chocolate and smoke. (PG) (3/ 2014)
Made from 100% Cold Creek Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon and aged for 22 months in 75% French oak, the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon is a classic Cabernet with plenty of creme de cassis, black raspberry, graphite, wild flowers and scorched earth aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, with silky tannin, solid mid-palate depth and a layered, rich texture, it is already approachable and delivers loads of pleasure; nevertheless, it will evolve gracefully for over a decade. Drink now-2022. Located just to the south of the town of Walla Walla, these classic, elegant efforts are made by David Merfeld. Slightly understated, they are fabulous drinks that will age beautifully on their overall balance. (JD) (6/ 2013)
Smooth and ripe, glowing with cherry compote, fresh blackberry and dusky spice flavors, with hints of sage and rosemary on the extended finish. Drink now through 2017. (HS) (9/ 2013)

The Bible:
A Relic or Reliable Revelation?
(This is the eigth part of The Bible: A Relic or Reliable Revelation? I've broken the whole talk up into smaller sections, the rest of which can be found through the links on the Bible Section page. For online reading I recommend reading the shorter sections successively. To view the document with the whole talk in it Click Here. To view the rest of the parts of the talk Click Here. It does not contain numbered endnotes but you can find a list of references used at the end.)
I'd like to digress a little bit and say a few helpful things about proof and faith. Until we stand before God in Heaven no one will ever be able to prove beyond any possibility of doubt that there is a God or that there isn't a God, that there are miracles or that there are no miracles, that Jesus rose from the dead or didn't rise from the dead or that the Bible is completely trustworthy or not. But that is not necessary anyway. The only way you can have 100% proof about something is by committing yourself to it, testing it and seeing if it is real. When you sat down on your chair today you didn't know beyond all doubt that it would hold you up. You couldn't know until you actually sat down. Now, you probably didn't even think about it consciously but subconsciously you looked at the chair and said, "I'm approaching this decision about sitting in this chair in an open-minded, unbiased fashion, after all my bottom and my ego are at stake. It has four legs, looks stable, and someone else was just sitting in it; therefore it will probably hold me up as well."
In other words, you examined the evidence with an open mind and decided you were entitled to believe it would hold you up. When you sat down and it held you up that is when you had 100% proof, not a moment before. And what about your faith? Is your faith holding the chair together? If you had less faith would the chair fall apart and you wind up on the floor? If you had more faith would that make the chair hold together longer? You can put your faith in faith but it is not your faith that is holding you up. The chair is holding you up. In other words, our faith is certainly important but not as important as the object of our faith. You could have a lot of faith in a broken chair that is missing a leg. But your faith won't hold you up if you sit in the chair. On the other hand, a small amount of faith in the right object will hold you up. This is why Jesus said, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing is impossible for you."
The skeptics' bias against God and miracles is like a chair missing a leg and they still put their faith in it. But when we put them to the test like we have today, their skepticism and conclusions don't hold them up. To put our faith in something that has been proven to not hold up under pressure is foolish. In contrast, when we look at the abundant evidence available to us we have every reason, every right to believe in God, Jesus' death on the cross, Jesus' resurrection and the trustworthiness of the Bible. It is the most sensible thing to do.

XCF, short for eXperimental Computing Facility,[1] is the native image format of the GIMP image-editing program. It saves all of the data the program handles related to the image, including among others each layer, the current selection, channels, transparency, paths and guides.
The saved image data are compressed only by a simple RLE algorithm, but GIMP supports compressed files, using either gzip or bzip2. The compressed files can be opened as normal image files.
The XCF file format is backward compatible (all versions of GIMP can open earlier versions' files) and in some cases, forward compatible. For example, GIMP 2.0 can save text in text layers while GIMP 1.2 can not. Text layers saved in GIMP 2.0 will open as ordinary image layers in GIMP 1.2. However, XCF files containing layer groups, a feature introduced in GIMP 2.7, can't be opened with GIMP 2.6.
The use of XCF as a data interchange format is not recommended by the GIMP developers,[2] since the format reflects the GIMP's internal data structures, and there may be minor format changes in future versions. A collaborative effort between the GIMP developers and Krita developers is underway to design a raster file format called OpenRaster, modelled on the OpenDocument format, for use in both applications in a future version.
As of GIMP version 2.8 images are loaded and imported in XCF format. GIMP only supports saving in XCF format; other formats have been moved to the Export dialog.
XCF is used as a file format in other programs besides the GIMP:
Some image viewers and conversion software can read the format with varying degrees of success:

What Really Matters
Looking at life through a different lens today.
After the shooting in Connecticut on Friday, I did what probably a lot of parents did and hugged their kids extra long and extra hard.
I began taking stock this weekend of the things that really matter in my life.
I don't know about you, but suddenly it didn't matter that my Christmas shopping wasn't done yet. It didn't matter that my laundry needed to be folded. It didn't matter that my kitchen was a mess.
What really mattered is last night when my son fell asleep on my shoulder while watching "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" I didn't move. I left the dishes in the sink and held my son.
"He comforts us in all our troubles" (2 Corninthians 1:4) If you let Him. It's hard when you feel pain to open your heart to feeling better. If you just create the opening today by praying, I believe that God will find a way to comfort the families of those that lost loved ones in the school shooting in Connecticut, and you too...

Third person view
This article needs updating.
Some of the information no longer applies to the latest version.
Third person view is a viewpoint from outside of the player in which the camera does not film/capture/pan from the player's eye level, but instead films/captures/pans from behind the player at an angle of 0 degrees (0 radians) and from the front of the player at 180 degrees (3.14 radians) (Y axis) when the mouse is leveled with the ground. Third person view can be activated by pressing F5. Pressing F5 once, twice, and three times gives you the vantage point from behind the player, in front of the player, and at normal eye level, respectively. Note that for some laptops and notebooks, the fn key may need to be held whilst pressing the F5 key for this to work. The feature was introduced in Indev versions (without face view). It can be used for viewing the player, making videos, and other uses.
The keys Y, H, U, O, I, K, J, L, N, and M are used as a debugging feature called the "deadmau5 camera" (in the code) to manipulate the view and are normally disabled. Pressing F9 freezes the view while pressing two functionally connected keys at the same time (example: Y + H) reverts the view back to normal (but U + O doesn't work). Also, if the Player were to go in a 1*2*1 hole and press F5 and F9, then the player can see underground structures. As of 1.2.1, the sides of the player's head may be shown when rotating the view. This debugging feature doesn't actually help much, and was only added for deadmau5.[1]
Because mobs look at the camera and not the player's head, in third person view, they do not look at the player's head, but rather at the camera itself. In the Pocket Edition, however, mobs look directly at the player whether in first person or third person view.
When Indev 0.31 was introduced, Notch made the new inventory, and when it was open, you could not see the player, just a black square. this was changed in Indev February 18, so that the player can be seen there.
In Alpha 1.0.14, pressing F5 gave an over-the-shoulder view for third-person, where the camera would be off-center by one block to the left; this was later changed to the current centered third-person view in Alpha 1.0.17.
In the Halloween Update (Alpha 1.2.0) a new feature was added, where holding F1 down hides the HUD, as well as meaning that pressing F5 and then holding F1 would move the view to the front of the player and hide the HUD. This feature was removed in Beta 1.3, but was reimplemented in Minecraft 1.0.
As of Minecraft 1.0, pressing F5 twice switches the camera to a face view, pressing F5 three times switches it back into first person view.
The debugging view manipulation feature was accidentally enabled in Beta 1.9pre5 snapshot and 12w08a, and was disabled in subsequent updates, 1.9pre6 and 1.2 Preview.[2]
- A third person face view can be seen while the player's inventory is open, it can also be seen facing towards your cursor.
- Suffocating will switch your camera to first person view. This does not apply to Pocket Edition.
- In Pocket Edition, third person view allows the Player reach further than in first person.
Screenshots in third person view:
The "cave finder" bug in Beta 1.9pre5

When McLarens Lewis Hamilton broke his duck in 2010 he did so in dramatic style, in a Turkish Grand Prix that at one stage seemed destined to yield Red Bull yet another one-two.
Red Bulls Mark Webber led off the line as team mate Sebastian Vettel boiled through to push slow-starting Hamilton down to third and Mercedes GPs Michael Schumacher edged ahead of McLarens Jenson Button for fourth. Both McLaren drivers made up a place on that opening tour, however, and until the pit stops Hamilton put Webber under huge pressure.
Then a slight delay for the Englishman, with his right-rear tyre, dropped him to third behind Webber and Vettel, with Button a watchful fourth, and until Lap 40 that was how they ran, nose to tail, each awaiting a mistake from the others. No one else was in the race.
But on Lap 41 Vettel got a run on Webber on the inside going down to Turn 12, and had drawn alongside, but as he tried to move to the right to gain the entry line his right rear wheel clipped Webbers left front. Suddenly Vettel was spinning wildly down the road and into retirement with a punctured right-rear tyre, and as Webber was forced to run wide the two McLarens picked their way gleefully through the debris to snatch the leading positions.
Webber and Vettel each squarely blamed the other for the accident, which left Red Bull technical guru Adrian Newey with his head in his hands.
It seemed the McLaren duo had been handed the race on a plate but the drama wasnt over. There was a small amount of rain, but around this time the McLaren drivers were also told to conserve fuel. Button sliced into Hamiltons lead and got a similar run on him going into Turn 12 on Lap 48. But he was on the outside, and as Hamilton hung tough on the inside they went side by side through that corner. And 13. And 14.
Across the finish line they were officially separated by 0.0s, and Button was credited with the lead, but Hamilton wasnt done yet and they touched wheels lightly as he pushed back through into first place going into Turn One. It was fabulous stuff, and thereafter he was able to open the gap up again to score a timely victory as both he and Button eased off to save fuel.
Button seemed happy enough with second, while Webber was so far ahead of Michael Schumachers Mercedes that he was able to pit for a new nose and front wing on Lap 42 and still finish on the podium.
As a result he still leads the world championship with 93 points to Buttons 88 and Hamiltons 84, while Ferraris Fernando Alonso is fourth on 79 from Vettel on 78.
Neither Mercedes had the pace to challenge Red Bull or McLaren, but they were much faster than the Ferraris which were having their 800th race. Schumacher was fourth, with team mate Nico Rosberg closing in as the track got greasy, to finish fifth ahead of Renaults Robert Kubica and Ferraris Felipe Massa who had a race-long battle for sixth.
Alonso was stuck for a long time behind an impressive Vitaly Petrov in the second Renault, but took the place after they brushed wheels at the start of Lap 54. That gave the Renault driver a puncture, which dropped him to 15th after a great performance that ultimately gave him only fastest lap on fresh tyres.
The final points went to Adrian Sutil for Force India from Kamui Kobayashi, who beat BMW Sauber team mate Pedro de la Rosa to the line by two-tenths of a second. They did not collide.
Behind them, Jaime Alguersuari brought his Toro Rosso home 12th, having twice set fastest lap after a late pit stop on Lap 41, Vitantonio Liuzzis Force India was 13th, then Rubens Barrichello was 14th for Williams after catching and passing team mate Nico Hulkenberg, whod been forced into a pit stop on the opening lap after a brush with Sebastien Buemi who also needed a new right-rear tyre. He was 16th behind Petrov.
The Virgins won the new team prize, with Timo Glock 18th behind Hulkenberg after both Lotuses had retired, and Lucas di Grassi was 19th. Bruno Senna had a great fight with his fellow countryman, but neither he nor team mate Karun Chandhok were running at the finish.
The controversial yet gripping race moves McLaren back ahead of Red Bull in the constructors championship, with 172 points to 171, with Ferrari third on 146 and Mercedes fourth on 100. Renault have 73.

My husband is a physician, and yesterday he forwarded me an article from his weekly journal update. I then opened my daily update from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics to find the same article. The article, newly released by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), is a review of successful weight-loss statistics. They found that the most powerful indicator of long-term weight loss was not WHAT diet the subjects followed, but how well they adhered to it. They summarized that there should be less focus on what the "ideal" diet is (low-fat, low-carb, etc), and more focus on adherence: lifestyle changes, exercise habits, portion control, and understanding hunger. There is a summary of the article here:
I couldn't agree more that long-term adherence is going to be important for anyone who needs to keep weight off. However, I don't think we can extrapolate that to mean that it doesn't matter what diet people follow. The researchers themselves even listed "avoiding high-calorie, fatty foods" as one of the important adherence tactics. Well…isn't that a diet that could be debated? Most of us who follow Paleo don't avoid fat at all….and many lose weight. And I will say I've been able to adhere to Paleo for almost 2 years because I feel good eating this way. I can assure you people don't usually feel good on a low-calorie or extremely low-carbohydrate diet. I really believe the nutrients we use to fuel our body have more importance than simply how they reflect on the scale – and the content of them is important in my option. What do you think? It doesn't matter what we eat as long as we find a way to lose weight and stick with it forever? Or there is an ideal diet?

All content below is taken in its entirety from the CDC Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine Information Statement (VIS): http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/vis/vis-statements/pcv13.html
CDC review information for Pneumococcal Conjugate VIS:
Content source: National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases
Pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (called PCV13 or Prevnar 13®) is recommended to protect infants and toddlers, and some older children and adults with certain health conditions, from pneumococcal disease.
Pneumococcal disease is caused by infection with Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria. These bacteria can spread from person to person through close contact.
Pneumococcal disease can lead to severe health problems, including pneumonia, blood infections, and meningitis.
Meningitis is an infection of the covering of the brain. Pneumococcal meningitis is fairly rare (less than 1 case per 100,000 people each year), but it leads to other health problems, including deafness and brain damage. In children, it is fatal in about 1 case out of 10.
Children younger than two are at higher risk for serious disease than older children.
People with certain medical conditions, people over age 65, and cigarette smokers are also at higher risk.
Before vaccine, pneumococcal infections caused many problems each year in the United States in children younger than 5, including:
About 4,000 adults still die each year because of pneumococcal infections.
Pneumococcal infections can be hard to treat because some strains are resistant to antibiotics. This makes prevention through vaccination even more important.
There are more than 90 types of pneumococcal bacteria. PCV13 protects against 13 of them. These 13 strains cause most severe infections in children and about half of infections in adults.
PCV13 is routinely given to children at 2, 4, 6, and 12–15 months of age. Children in this age range are at greatest risk for serious diseases caused by pneumococcal infection.
PCV13 vaccine may also be recommended for some older children or adults. Your doctor can give you details.
A second type of pneumococcal vaccine, called PPSV23, may also be given to some children and adults, including anyone over age 65. There is a separate Vaccine Information Statement for this vaccine.
Anyone who has ever had a life-threatening allergic reaction to a dose of this vaccine, to an earlier pneumococcal vaccine called PCV7 (or Prevnar), or to any vaccine containing diphtheria toxoid (for example, DTaP), should not get PCV13.
Anyone with a severe allergy to any component of PCV13 should not get the vaccine. Tell your doctor if the person being vaccinated has any severe allergies.
If the person scheduled for vaccination is sick, your doctor might decide to reschedule the shot on another day.
Your doctor can give you more information about any of these precautions.
With any medicine, including vaccines, there is a chance of side effects. These are usually mild and go away on their own, but serious reactions are also possible.
Reported problems associated with PCV13 vary by dose and age, but generally:
Adults receiving the vaccine have reported redness, pain, and swelling where the shot was given. Mild fever, fatigue, headache, chills, or muscle pain have also been reported.
Life-threatening allergic reactions from any vaccine are very rare.
What should I look for?
Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include hives, swelling of the face and throat, difficulty breathing, a fast heartbeat, dizziness, and weakness. These would start a few minutes to a few hours after the vaccination.
What should I do?
VAERS is only for reporting reactions. They do not give medical advice.
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) is a federal program that was created to compensate people who may have been injured by certain vaccines.
Persons who believe they may have been injured by a vaccine can learn about the program and about filing a claim by calling 1-800-338-2382 or visiting the VICP website .
