The detainees have no right of appeal in the case. (Abu Dhabi) - A guilty verdict against five activists by the United Arab Emirates' Federal Supreme Court on November 27, 2011, is an attack on freedom of expression and the result of an unfair trial, Human Rights Watch said today. The panel of four foreign judges delivered the verdict in a ten-minute oral statement in court, sentencing Ahmed Mansoor, a prominent UAE reformer, to three years imprisonment and the rest to two years each for publicly insulting UAE authorities. The detainees have no right of appeal in the case. Outside the court house, a pro-government supporter physically assaulted a family member of one detainee, said Human Rights Watch, which witnessed the assault along with a representative from Alkarama (Dignity), also in Abu Dhabi to monitor the trial. "Today the Emirati government has shown that its rulers can tolerate no criticism," said Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East director at Human Rights Watch. "Luxury high-rises and international museums or universities can't whitewash a government that jails citizens who call for peaceful reform." The activists, known among their supporters as the "UAE 5," were arrested in April 2011 and later charged with "publicly insulting" top UAE officials. The five activists, whose trial opened on June 14 in Abu Dhabi, are: Ahmed Mansoor, an engineer and blogger, and a member of Human Rights Watch's Middle East and North Africa Advisory Committee; Nasser bin Ghaith, an economist and university lecturer at Sorbonne Abu Dhabi; and online activists Fahad Salim Dalk, Ahmed Abdul-Khaleq, and Hassan Ali al-Khamis. The five were charged under article 176 of the penal code, which makes it a crime to publicly insult top officials, and for using the banned online political forum UAE Hewar. Because the case was prosecuted under state security procedures, there is no right of appeal. Human Rights Watch reviewed the messages allegedly posted by the accused, none of which do more than criticize government policy or political leaders. There is no evidence that the men used or incited violence in the course of their political activities. An international coalition of rights groups, which includes Alkarama, Amnesty International, the Arabic Network for Human Rights Information (ANHRI), Front Line Defenders, the Gulf Centre for Human Rights (GCHR), Human Rights Watch, and Index on Censorship, has said that the prosecution of the five men violates guarantees of free speech under the UAE's constitution as well as international human rights law. Since November 13, the men have been on a hunger strike to protest violations of their basic rights by the judiciary, prosecution, and prison officials, including what they say was their prolonged detention on politically motivated charges and a patently unfair trial. They are reported to be in poor health, a defense lawyer told Human Rights Watch. After the verdict announcement, a pro-government supporter prevented a relative of one of the five detainees from speaking to the media outside the courtroom and then physically attacked him, despite the heavy security presence. During the attack, the assailant shouted profanities and threatened vigilantism, saying, "Even if the [detainees] are released from jail, we will put them on trial ourselves." The assailant then struck the family member about three times in the face, causing bruising. Police in Khalidiya, Abu Dhabi, said they are investigating the November 27 incident. The attack is the most recent in a campaign of death threats, slander, and intimidation against the activists, their families, and their lawyers that authorities have failed to prosecute. An independent reportonNovember 25 written on behalf of the GCHR with research assistance from Human Rights Watch documented the threats by government sympathizers and the atmosphere of impunity in which they have been made. "The campaign against these activists and their families has escalated from threats and intimidation to acts of physical violence," said Whitson. "The UAE authorities invest resources into prosecuting peaceful reformers, but do nothing to investigate and jail those who use violence and intimidation." Background According to the coalition of rights groups, the court violated the activists' fair trial rights. The court did not allow the defendants to review the evidence and charges against them until six months into the trial. The court did not allow defense lawyers to cross-examine one prosecution witness and did not provide sufficient time to cross-examine others. Without explanation, the authorities closed the first four hearings to the public, journalists, international observers, and the families of the accused. On multiple occasions, the court denied or failed to rule on motions to release the defendants on bail, even though none of the defendants were charged with a violent offense, and authorities did not suggest that they pose a flight risk. All four judges on the panel reviewing the case are foreigners. Two are Egyptian, one is Syrian, and one is Sudanese. As foreign judges, they do not have tenure positions on the Court, as do Emirati judges. The UAE penal code makes the peaceful expression of critical views of the authorities a criminal offense, subject to a prison sentence, in contravention of international human rights guarantees for free speech. Article 176 of the penal code permits a sentence of up to five years in prison for "whoever publicly insults the State President, its flag or national emblem." Article 8 widens the application of the provision to include the vice president, members of the Supreme Council of the Federation, and others. Mansoor faced additional charges of inciting others to break the law, calling for an election boycott, and calling for demonstrations. In March, shortly before his arrest, he publicly supported a petition signed by more than 130 people advocating universal, direct elections for the Federal National Council (FNC), a government advisory board, and legislative powers for the council. Before his arrest he gave numerous television and other media interviews on the issue. The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) holds that "everyone shall have the right to freedom of expression... to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds." While the UAE is not a party to the ICCPR, it reflects authoritative international standards, which allow content-based restrictions only in extremely narrow circumstances, such as cases of slander or libel against private individuals or speech that threatens national security. Article 32 of the Arab Charter on Human Rights, which the UAE has ratified, guarantees the right to freedom of opinion and expression, and to impart news to others by any means. The only restrictions the charter allows on the practice of this right are those imposed for "respect for the rights of others, their reputation, or the protection of national security, public order, public health, or public morals." Article 13(2) of the charter also requires judicial hearings to be "public other than [except] in exceptional cases where the interests of justice so require in a democratic society which respects freedom and human rights." The United Nations Declaration on Human Rights Defenders provides that countries should "take all necessary measures to ensure the protection of everyone against any violence, threats, retaliation, adverse discrimination, pressure or any other arbitrary action" as a result of their participation in human rights activity.

Album Summary
Notes & Reviews:
On April 9, 1786, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach conducted a charity concert in Hamburg featuring three of his finest and most representative works: the Symphony Wq 183/1, the Magnificat (written in 1749 in the hope of succeeding his father as Cantor in Leipzig) and his stupendous Heilig for double choir, of which he wrote, "It will be my swan song of this kind, and will serve to ensure that I shall not soon be forgotten after my death." Released to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the composer's birth, this recording recreating the program of this historic concert confirms the prophetic nature of the composer's words. Hans-Christoph Rademann leads the RIAS Kammerchor, Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin and a stellar cast of soloists (including soprano Elizabeth Watts) in definitive recordings of these fascinating and innovative works.
The Observer, 2nd February 2014
Hans-Christoph Rademann finds eloquence in the choral music and lets the Berlin Akademie rip with edgy tone in the symphony.
Sunday Times, 16th February 2014
Chorus and orchestra launch the work in exhilarating style, as Bach emulates his father's trumpety celebratory style, but with Vivaldian panache...This is a glorious disc.
The Independent, 22nd February 2014
The three works featured here represent what C P E Bach considered his finest achievements...The arias and chorales in his Magnificat echoes his father J S Bach's Mass in B minor, as if emphasising his lineage... rendered with grace by the Akademie Fnr Alte Musik Berlin.
Chris O'Reilly, Presto Classical, 10th February 2014
There are some really sumptuous sonorities in this music and the temptation in performance must sometimes be to overplay them. That is never the case here though, as the careful balance between expression and restraint seems very well judged throughout.
BBC Music Magazine, April 2014
A fine reconstruction of the second half of a concert [CPE Bach] conducted in Hamburg on Palm Sunday, 1786. So vivacious is the choral singing and orchestral playing under Hans-Chrisoph Rademann that it's a shame they did not include every work from that occasion.
Early Music Today, May 2014
The energetic and committed performances of the Akademie fur Alte Musik Berlin and the RIAS Kammerchor under Hans-Christoph Rademann make this music a joy to listen to ... an excellent introduction to C.P.E Bach's work.
MusicWeb International, 11th April 2014
Hans-Christoph Rademann gets some splendid playing from the Akademie fnr Alte Musik Berlin and directs the performance with flair and evident empathy for the music.
International Record Review, April 2014
'Vitality' is the essential ingredient of the performances recorded here ... Elizabeth Watts shapes her phrases beautifully with a sure sense of direction ... thrilling stuff.
Gramophone Magazine, April 2014
Rademann and his Berlin forces make the strongest possible case for it, with fresh, athletic choral singing, playing of crackling, fizzing energy and excellent solo work...This is the finest recording of CPE's choral masterpiece I have heard....set to be one of the discs of the CPE anniversary year.
American Record Guide, May/June 2014
The Magnificat in D (W 215), the principal work here, dates from 1749, when the composer was still serving the Prussian court in Berlin. The double-choir motet Heilig ist Gott (W 217) was written in 1776. The two choirs illustrate the contrast between heavenly voices - quiet, sustained, and mysteriously distant - and the more exuberant earthly voices. The brief Symphony in D (W 183:1) comes from the composer's last set of symphonies published in 1780. Hans-Christoph Rademann directs performances that are bold and energetic.

What do you ride ? I ride a 650 BMW Dakar and split my dirt to street Ratio at about 60/40 with more street miles. I would rather that number be more dirt/gravel but That is hard to achieve when I never tow my bike to go riding.
There is a Chico area riders Thread on here that may be interesting for you. I mainly only watch that but at times will pay attention to the " west coast" specific forum.
the chico Thread also has some experienced people that do some event type rides as well as just planning out routes on there own.
I tend to ride East and West as well as North out of Red Bluff and ride the Trinities Siskiyou's Medocino Burney Shasta and all other areas within 150 miles the way the crow flies of Red Bluff. That puts me out in the back woods , or the High desert also the coast.
So Faceman what do you ride.

I just received my get home bag today. I pulled everything out to look at what was there. I've found out everything was there with room to place extra in it. Weapon, extra ammo, change of clothes, ect. I still need to get my camp ax and shovel. Thanks guys you did a great job with this bag. I'm looking forward to getting a bug out bag from you guys in the future. to keep in my jeep. Thanks again guys....
Posted by Jayson Milthaler on 2nd Jan 2015
What more can I say, this bag is awesome. It comes with everything you need to get started, and plenty of extra room in the bag if you decide to start expanding. That said, expanding isn't really necessary if you plan to use it as intended. If you want great quality stuff at a great price, look no further than this bag!
Posted by Unknown on 25th Dec 2014
Excellent value for the money. Every member of your family should have their own bug out bag/ 72 hour bag. This Get Home Bag is a great start. Even children should have their own bag, The "Runner" would be a good bag for small children.
Posted by Nick on 16th Dec 2014
I've been searching for a solid Get Home Bag for several months now as there are so many options available on the web. The problem is that most of these bags have a vast amount of poor quality items attached to a high price tag. This bag however is the exception to the rule. It has literally everything you could ever want in a Get Home Bag and even has room for you to add a couple of your favorite items as well. The price is extremely competitive and everything is QUALITY (no cheap items here). If you are interested in a GH bag or have been toying around with making your own ---- STOP. Purchase this bag and start here. It will be the best decision you've ever made about your survival and you can feel completely confident with this thing in your trunk. The customer service is outstanding as well.

Great emergency preparedness kit. Comes with everything you might need. It was great having some customization with the kit too. Definitely room to add more gear in case anyone was wondering. Have already recommend to friends. Great job ES!
Posted by Kirk on 1st Oct 2014
I've been researching this for about a year now. E-S had the right size and configuration I was looking for. They also allow for some customization of your kit, which was great as I already had some gear. Had a question about my order, it was answered in a couple hours! Overall I am genuinely pleased and will be sure to let my friends know.

I bought this several weeks ago and wanted to "live" with it before I wrote anything. Their are a ton of books etc. out there about various pieces of equipment and things one can get so I won't go into that. The KEY to Echo-Sigma's products is they start with QUALITY. No other product I found did that and frankly most were filled with kind of colorful junk. Because you have the quality to start with you can 1. Buy it, leave it alone and be assured that you have a well thought out package put together by a professional. 2. Add to it with some of the additional products offered by Echo-Sigma to further upgrade it to your needs. 3. Using this as a base add other products available in the market at large and be comfortable you are not throwing good money after bad. I guess there are two theories on safety equipment. One is you will probably never need it so go cheap. Two your life may depend on it so buy the quality. If you subscribe to the second approach then start with Echo-Sigma. I was so impressed I ordered another one of their products (Runner Critical Response) so I would have an additional light weight package to work with. Great customer service too!
Posted by Michael on 17th Jun 2014
Great pack. Great quality of material. This pack has a lot of space to add more stuff. i ordered mine with the MRES but it did not come with it.so im going to email them about that.
Editors Note: Someone let the boss help in the warehouse that day. We got a replacement provision pack shipped out pronto!
Posted by Scott on 31st May 2014
I purchased one and was impressed with the right amount of essential items needed for a GHB. I added a few extras as well as providing a few redundancies in critical items (the old 2 is one and 1 is none mantra) and have a bag I feel very confident in.
I was so satisfied I ordered two more bags.
Posted by Gena on 9th May 2014
I have bought this bag as a Father's Day gift for my husband, so he hasn't received it yet. But I went through the bag and it is very well stocked. The bag itself is very nice and quite compact. There are just a few more things I'll add to the bag and then it will be all ready. Great Bag Echo Sigma!!

Parameter Automation in a Dynamic Range Compressor
Because dynamic range compression is a nonlinear process with memory, parameter settings involve a complex trade-off even if there is advanced knowledge of the input and desired output. By studying the behavior of real human sound engineers, the authors created an independent set of algorithms to automate the values of the parameters using features extracted from the side-chain. The user need only set the threshold for the preferred amount of compression. Subjective evaluation was performed with two groups of subjects: nine expert mixing engineers and seven amateurs who had experience with dynamic range compression. The preferred human choice for each setting was compared to that created by the automation method. A small correction to Eq. 3 on page 718 of this paper was posted in 2014 February.

U.S. News Review
Perfectly situated in the heart of Carmel, Calif., and just a 15-minute walk to Carmel Beach, L'Auberge Carmel, charms guests with its intimate luxury. With only 20 rooms, this Relais & Châteaux property appeals to travelers looking for an experience more akin to that provided by a B&B without sacrificing the amenities — like in-room spa services and the gourmet California cuisine served at Aubergine — found at a deluxe hotel. Guest rooms here all feature unique decor, but no matter which accommodation you occupy, you'll be treated to down bedding, soaking tubs and iPod docking stations. Previous visitors rave about the hotel's European influence, though some mention a few negative run-ins with customer service.

The use of this turtle story is my way of illustrating the importance of everyday interactions among humans. Strong inter-group and interpersonal relationships are built through effective communication strategies and help maintain stability when humans try to live in harmony. Just as the older parts of the earth are less likely to have earthquakes, human relationships that can stand the test of time will have a better chance of withstanding changes in the human topography.
Long ago, when most of the world was water, Great Spirit decided to make a beautiful land with lakes and rivers that turtles carried on their backs. One day the turtles began to argue and three of the turtles began to swim towards the rising sun while three began to swim towards the setting sun. The earth shook! It cracked with a loud noise. The turtles could not swim far, because the land on their backs was heavy. When they saw that they could not swim far enough to get away from each other they stopped arguing and made up. But every once in a while, the turtles that hold up the earth, argue again, and each time they do the earth shakes.

When you work with nested generic types in C# in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, the IDE stops responding. Additionally, the computer shows 100 percent CPU utilization.
This problem does not apply to all nested generic types. However, this problem occurs in the case where there is a generic base class that has a nested derived class that inherits from the base class where the type parameter is of type derived. For example, the following code causes the IDE to stop responding.
You may experience this problem when you modify code because the IDE may parse the unfinished code as the previous code example. For example, when you add a method in this base class and type the opening brace, the IDE parses the code as the following code.

Merlin's Full-Service Pet CareRead MoreMerlin's Full-Service Pet Care was named after owner Jessica Odell's bull terrier Merlin, whose ability to turn cats into turtles keeps visiting dogs in high spirits. Jessica and her tight-knit staff, including her mother and boyfriend, groom dogs of all sizes and provide pet-sitting and dog-boarding services. Jessica visits homes for pre-pet-sitting consultations, so animals have a chance to acclimate themselves to their substitute caretaker. At the onsite boarding facilities, dogs romp through double-fenced, tree-studded fields and enjoy climate-controlled individual boarding rooms, where they can eat their owners' homework without distraction.2401 Willamette RoadTallahassee, FL US
See Spot Run LLCRead MoreMost pups greet their owners with thumping tails after workers from eco-friendly See Spot Run LLC visit. The staff believes that pets are usually most at ease in the comfort of their own homes. That's why they make home visits instead of running a daycare facility. While pet owners are busy working, running errands, or vacationing, these bonded-and-insured employees spend time with their furry friends, playing fetch, taking walks, or helping them with their tax returns. Staff members will also stay overnight to comfort anxious pets while their owners are away.1400 Village Square Boulevard Suite 3-183Tallahassee, FL US
LJ's Side Street DogsRead MoreNashville's LJ's Side Street Dogs serves up the tastiest franks, cooked and topped just the way you like 'em. You won't find any low-fat fare here, though, so leave some room to indulge. For those big group gatherings, LJ's Side Street Dogs provides plenty of space to have a good time. Folks tend to dress down at LJ's Side Street Dogs, so keep comfort in mind when heading to the restaurant. Catering is also available if you'd like serve LJ's Side Street Dogs' tasty dishes at your next party. Street parking is available, or, on busy nights, a nearby lot is another option for drivers. Prices at LJ's Side Street Dogs are a bargain (usually less than $15 for a meal), so you'll have plenty of cash left over to treat a friend (or two).106 E McPherson AveNashville, GA US
Flint RiverQuariumRead MoreAfter a flood devastated the area in 1994, Flint RiverQuarium was built to educate future generations about the geographic and ecologic conditions in the Flint River Basin. Families explore exhibits made to look like natural habitats, in which native creatures splash, swim, and make ill-advised deals with cunning sea witches to become human. Size: seven permanent exhibits Eye Catcher: The RiverQuarium Blue Hole Spring holds 175,000 gallons of water and stretches 22 feet deep. Inside, 120 species of fish, turtles, and alligators swim, from the enormous 8-foot-long Gulf sturgeon to adorable turtles such as the red-eared slider. Permanent Mainstay: The Cypress Creek Aviary houses indigenous birds such as the great egret and little blue heron. Don't Miss: The Hatchery, where fish are raised from egg to fingerling before being transferred to other exhibits Hands-On Experiments: Get up close and personal with one of the Flint River Basin's denizens during animal encounters, regularly scheduled on the weekend. Catch a Movie" The Imagination Theater shows short films centered on local species, such as fire ants and alligators. Special Programs: On Discovery Days (the first and third Sunday of every month) the RiverQuarium comes to life with arts and crafts activities, story tellers, and live animal presentations.101 Pine AveAlbany, GA US
Bc Quarter Circle RanchRead MoreBC Quarter Circle Ranch covers more than 600 acres, encompassing far too many trails, trees, and pastures to possibly explore by foot. That's why the trainers lead horseback trail rides throughout the ranch, allowing riders to immerse themselves in the wild landscape and stories about the ranch's multigenerational family history. Riders may even spot evidence of the Native American tribes who once inhabited the land, such as arrowheads and other objects left from long ago. The fully functioning ranch, which has been in operation for more than 200 years, also offers riding lessons and hosts groups such as Boy and Girl Scouts and sequestered juries.1632 SW Bethlehem AveFort White, FL US

Female impersonation need say nothing about sexual identity, but it has for a long time been almost an institutionalized aspect of gay male culture.
Although sparse in images documenting the gay community, pre-Stonewall gay male photography blurs the boundaries between art, erotica, and social history.
Given the historic stigma around making, circulating, and possessing overtly homoerotic images, the visual arts have been especially important for providing a socially sanctioned arena for depicting the naked male body and suggesting homoerotic desire.
Independent films that aggressively assert homosexual identity and queer culture, the New Queer Cinema can be seen as the culmination of several developments in American cinema.
Renowned photographer, teacher, critic, editor, and curator, Minor White created some of the most interesting photographs of male nudes of the second half of the twentieth century, but did not exhibit them for fear of scandal.
The first international fashion superstar, Halston dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women.
An artistic movement that grew out of Dadaism and flourished in Europe shortly after World War I, Surrealism embraced the idea that art was an expression of the subconscious.
Film, stage, and television actor Paul Winfield was openly gay in his private life, but maintained public silence about his homosexuality.
Judge Darrin Gayles.
On June 17, 2014, Staci Michelle Yandle and Darrin Gayles, two openly gay nominees to federal judgeships, were confirmed by the U.S. Senate. Yandle, who was confirmed to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois, will be the first African American to serve on her court. Gayles, who was confirmed to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, is the first openly gay African-American male to be confirmed as a federal judge. Yandle is only the second openly lesbian African-American woman to be confirmed in the 20 years since President Clinton nominated Deborah Batts to the Southern District of New York.
She is a graduate of the University of Illinois and holds a law degree from Vanderbilt University. After serving as an associate and a partner in large law firms, she has been a practitioner in O'Fallon, Illinois since 2007.
Gayles is a graduate of Howard University and holds a law degree from George Washington University Law School. He began his career as an Assistant State Attorney in the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office from 1993 to 1997. From 1997 to 1999, he served as an Assistant District Counsel at the United States Immigration and Naturalization Service. From 1999 to 2004, he served as an Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida. From 2004 to 2011, he served as a County Judge in Miami-Dade County within the Eleventh Judicial Circuit. Since 2011, he has served as a Circuit Court Judge in the Eleventh Judicial Circuit.
As Chris Johnson reports in the Washington Blade, Yandle was confirmed by a party-line 52-44 vote. All Democrats present voted for Yandle; all Republicans present voted against her. Gayles was confirmed unanimously by a 98-0 vote.
Sharon Lettman-Hicks, CEO of the National Black Justice Coalition, praised the confirmation of the two nominees as an historic occasion.
"I am thrilled that the Senate has confirmed Attorney Yandle and Judge Gayles to the federal bench," Lettman-Hicks said. "NBJC celebrates both confirmations that will inspire so many in the Black and LGBT communities. In addition, we celebrate the vast life experiences that they will take with them to the federal bench as they work to render impartial decisions. It's a significant sign of progress in our nation when two individuals are judged solely on their merits when being considered for these important lifetime appointments."
Eric Lesh of Lambda Legal also praised the confirmations as historic. "President Obama has already nominated more African-American judges and openly gay and lesbian judges than any of his predecessors," he said in a statement. "Federal courts are charged with providing everyone with equal access to justice, and yet justice has not always been a reality for some. A diverse judiciary serves not only to improve the quality of justice, but to boost public confidence in the courts."
With the confirmation of Gayles and Yandle, there are now ten openly gay judges appointed by President Obama.
The others include Judge Todd Hughes, who serves on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Judges J. Paul Oetken and Alison Nathan both sit on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York; Judge Michael Fitzgerald serves on the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California; Judge Pamela Ki Mai Chen holds a seat on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York; Judge Michael McShane serves on the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon; Judge Nitza I. Quiñones Alejandro sits on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania; and Judge Judith Levy serves on the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan.
Other openly gay federal judges include Judge Vaughn Walker, who was nominated by President Reagan to the Northern District of California; now retired, he did not come out until 2010 when he presided over the Proposition 8 trial; and Judge Deborah Batts, the first openly lesbian federal judge, who was nominated by President Clinton and serves in a "senior status" on the Southern District of New York bench.
President Obama also nominated Edward DuMont for a seat on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, but Dumont withdrew his nomination after there was no movement on it over the course of two sessions of Congress; and Judge William Thomas, who was nominated in October 2012 for the seat that Darrin Gayles will occupy. Thomas's nomination was blocked by Senator Marco Rubio.

Krav Maga
A system of self defence that is both easy to learn and that does not require years of practice or masses of muscle to gain proficiency.
Get started in Krav Maga today with BAKM
Described by The Sunday Times as 'the UK's leading Krav Maga school'.
We have the 4 main "Getting Started" options listed below.
Other available options are: Private Training or Corporate Training, 4 Hour Intensive Course, 5 Day Intensive Course or our much acclaimed Krav Maga Boot Camp.
On occasion we also have the odd Krav Maga Promotion which can be worth checking out too….
Krav Maga Getting Started Option 1
Take The Much Acclaimed Krav Maga Trial Class
The trial class costs just £15 per person online (or £25 cash on the day) and serves as a valuable insight into self defence. This is a 1.5 hour class.
Please try to be there at least 15 minutes before the class starts so we may fill out any necessary health & fitness questionnaires etc and answer any questions you may have prior to your trial.
The trial class cost is included in option 3, shown below, if you wish to save money.
Trial class locations & timings can be found in the Weekly Classes page.
Krav Maga Getting Started Option 2
Join The Much Acclaimed Beginner Course
The Krav Maga Beginners Course is designed for those students who have little or no self defence / martial arts training experience and would like to have a period of training that covers the fundamentals involved in Krav Maga.
We run the beginners course as a month long course starting on the first Monday of the month. After this it continues weekly as every Monday & Wednesday in Kensington from 7.00pm until 8.30pm with an additional bonus 'regular class' session on a Saturday from 10am until 11.30am.
So, in effect you get 3 classes per week (therefore around 12 per course)
Terms & Conditions
The beginner course is limited to attendance of classes for the month that you start and is non refundable & non transferable. More specifically, this means that if you miss sessions during the month of your course then you cannot (unfortunately) join the next course to make up for this as numbers are capped for each course.
Your aim therefore is to attend as many of the beginner sessions during the month as possible and to attend some or all of the Saturday regular classes (where a senior student will take care of you).
Once you have finished your course you then decide whether or not you would like to continue as a regular member by simply re-visiting the website and signing up to whichever membership options suits.
Just £99
Krav Maga Getting Started Option 3
Join Straight Away With A Monthly, Yearly or Lifetime Membership Option.
The Krav Maga Beginners Course is designed for those students who have little or no self defence / martial arts training experience and would like to have a period of training that covers the fundamentals involved in Krav Maga.
If you decide to join the school straight away through either a Monthly, Yearly or Lifetime payment option then you will not have to pay for the trial class.
All you have to do is turn up with a copy of your relevant membership payment.
Your membership will start as soon as you have signed up online having also paid the school joining fee and / or any relevant pro rata payment.
To take advantage of this offer, simply click on the sign up button below, which will take you to the relevant membership sign up page.
Choose & pay for your membership option now & you will be enrolled as a member in our school immediately.

Earlier this month, Ookla, the company responsible for Speedtest.net (one of the two online speed tests available on the FCC's website Broadband.gov), started publishing a "Household Promise Index" that is designed to measure the gap between actual and advertised "up to" broadband speeds. The results? On average, Ookla reports that U.S. consumers are receiving roughly…

Once Hailed As Mexico's Bravest Woman, 21-Year-Old Loses Police Chief Job
After she stepped forward last year to take a job no one else wanted because of the drug-related violence — police chief in the Mexican border town of Praxedis G. Guerrero — Marisol Valles was called the "bravest woman in Mexico."
Now, she's the ex-police chief. Valles, 21, was "fired Monday for apparently abandoning her post after receiving death threats," the Associated Press reports. [The AP says Valles is 20; we're relying on the PBS News Hour for her age.]
ABC's World News with Diane Sawyer reported Friday that Valles had left Mexico after receiving death threats and is seeking political asylum in the U.S.
Back in February on the News Hour, Valles conceded she feared for her life:
" 'I am afraid,' she says, 'like everyone here. And I take precautions, but hope is stronger than fear.'
"She has good reason to be afraid. Rival drug cartels kill each other and anyone who gets in their way. If they can't control a street, they burn it. Whole neighborhoods of Marisol's town are deserted. She commands a force of 10 officers. They have two police cars.
"Bullet holes pockmark her office — on the door, pictures of missing men presumed murdered."

In his Chronicles, Froissart describes Otterburn as 'the best fought and the most severe' battle of his time. Fought at Redesdale in Northumberland in August 1388, the battle originated from the ongoing war between the Scots and the English following Robert Bruce's victory over the English at Bannockburn in 1314. Using all the contemporary sources, this book details the events that led up to the clash on the borders, examines the opposing armies, their weaponry and their commanders – including the Douglases on the Scots side and the Percys on the English – and gives a full account of the battle and its aftermath.

A tale of two blasts
There is nothing dramatic about the mien of President Goodluck Jonathan. He looks meek, gentle and incapable of invoking the wrath of God or man. Perhaps that was why the clergy, in their misguided spirit to anoint a leader, laid hands on him and poured him blessing after blessing when he ran for president.
But today, few call him the Lord's anointed. Few pastors come to Jonathan with the wrath of Jonah. Rather, they are wrapped in holy silence. But the streets rumble with the wrath of the people. Was it not the Bible that said when the wicked is in power the people perish and when the righteous reign the people rejoice? Is any pastor on the pulpit invoking scripture?
No one is talking of good luck these days since the price of things leapt giddily. In our hearts, we have distinguished between good luck and Goodluck. The quiet man seemed to have cast a spell on both priest and people. Was it not the case of the blind leading the blind, with both of them heading for the ditch? You can fool some of the people some of the time, crooned Abraham Lincoln, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
Within one week of the last begotten year, the graphic story of the Jonathan presidency was engrafted on history. On Saturday, December 25, 2011, we had a bomb blast. On January 1, the next Saturday, we had another blast. The first bomb blew up at the instance of the shadowy group called Boko Haram and made a lot of sound. The other bomb came from President Goodluck Jonathan and it also made a lot of sound. It was the removal of the so-called fuel subsidy.
The December sound was from shrapnel and led to buildings collapsing, cars exploding, trees snapping, feet scampering for safety, human flesh smearing as bones cracked. The January 1 blast was the groan of the people. The December blast was to celebrate the birth of a saviour, but many did not see salvation, like part and whole families wiped out. Remember the case of Mrs. Williams Dike, whose husband and five children perished in the inferno!
The perpetrators of both blasts believed they wanted to save the people: Boko Haram on behalf of God, and Jonathan on behalf of his cronies and political elite. Jonathan would say he did it on behalf of the people. In both, the people did not see any salvation, only the perpetrators have the eyes to see.
The first blast was tangible and the second metaphoric, but the effects are real and devastating to the people. But which of these blasts is worse? It makes no sense comparing. But what is terrible though is that the Boko Haram people did not seek the consent of the people. Jonathan barnstormed the entire nation, soliciting votes and promising transformation, although it was more a gimmick and catch word than intention. The people's fortunes have been transformed from stark poverty to deeper distress.
Jonathan left the more important issues to make unforced errors. Jonathan's treachery was to assure Nigerians two things he did not fulfil. One, that the date for removal of the so-called fuel subsidy had not been fixed. Two, that the removal would come with palliatives. He was holding consultations, sponsoring Town Hall meetings and presidential chats. But like a thief in the night, and a serpent with a chameleonic love for green grass, he struck when Nigerians were not looking. He bit us in the middle or afterglow of merriment.
He struck us without palliatives. Nigerians are suffering. Costs have soared of the basics: transport, food, medications, etc. The Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) leader, Omar, said the President warned that he would remove the subsidy even if they shoot him. Finance Minister Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala wailed why we should bother about the removal, when 70 per cent of Nigerians trek. Just like Marie Antoinette, wife of Louis the 16th, who was reported (though falsely) to have wondered why French people would not eat cake since bread was not available. The minister, who claimed to be an economist, did not understand a critical branch of behavioural economics. She should understand that a policy has effect beyond those originally targeted. So a policy on aviation can spin off to a maker of cosmetics. This is the sort of people around the president. The minister does not understand the Nigerian economy because she does not understand Nigerians. She should return to her IMF and World Bank crowd.
Now, the palliatives. Jonathan said they would include provision of loans, jobs, buses, erecting of infrastructure, etc. At the weekend, he cut the wages of political office holders by 25 per cent. All of these show the President was focused on the so-called fuel subsidy removal and not the impact on the people. How long does it take to build infrastructure? Years. How long will it take to get the loan to those who deserve it? No one can tell since they will just begin that process. The persons will register their names, claims will be verified, guarantors processed, money approved and disbursement, etc. The buses are not around and how many routes can 1,600 buses cover in Nigeria? When will the buses arrive? We know slashing politicians' pay means nothing. They make money through other means. He is now asking ministries to cut cost. Let him begin by slashing his N1 billion bill for Aso Rock entertainment and food.
The Kolade committee will have to worry over its legality, as no law supports entrusting the money from federation account to any group arbitrarily constituted by the president. While all the palliative work is in progress, the people will suffer. Those who will die will die, those who cannot afford two meals a day will have to survive on one, those who cannot afford medications will seek shelter under quacks and die, those who cannot afford transport fares may not even go to work if they have one, etc. If and when the palliatives come, they will come over corpses. The operation would have been successful, even if the patients have long been buried.
The president cannot manage the bomb he imposed on us. Tragically, he cannot also manage the bomb Boko Haram imposed as well. He declared a state of emergency on four states; everywhere, soldiers, tanks, weapons, border patrols, etc. Yet, bombs went off, Deeper Life worshippers suffered T.S. Eliot's murder in the cathedral. Southerners are leaving town. I warned about this in this column only last week. The declaration of a state of emergency would not work, I warned. The state of emergency ought to be declared on the security services, who are as clueless as he is, and an economic team, which needs to take a course on the Nigerian economy, with emphasis on the Karl Polanyi school of economic anthropology that emphasises society over textbook rigidities.
French leader Clemenceau once said war was too important to be left in the hands of generals. Jonathan should heed that in the war on Boko Haram. He should get to the root, using consultation, friendship with those aggrieved over zoning and the last elections. It is after resolving these that generals matter. One of the reasons that the Cold War thawed between the U.S and the Soviet Union was the initiative from President Nixon to undertake visits with Soviet leaders. Even though tensions persisted, such meetings forbade World War fears until the USSR fell. When walls collapse between enemies, better understanding occurs.
During the 1982 world economic recession, Henry Kissinger invoked Clemenceau and wrote that the economy was too important a matter to be left in the hands of economists. So, Jonathan should see what the others are saying rather than hold on to a strait jacket of unpopular policies.
Governor Sylva, PDP and the Court
The Court of Appeal ruled on Saturday against the PDP, over the high court injunction on the military-style Bayelsa primary that crowned Seriake Dickson as its candidate. This ruling exposes what I have affirmed in this column: that Jonathan acted as a snake in the politics of the state. While denying he knew anything about it, his army, police, air force and navy presided over one of the worst acts of electoral brigandage with official fiat in our history.
When he should have focused on more important matters, he fished in the troubled waters of his state. Pastor and political elite anointed him openly as presidential candidate last year. In his own case, Jonathan, by stealth, anointed Dickson as a candidate of lawlessness and impunity, and only in a jungle can the so-called primary stand. It was a primary of barbarous proportions. I called him His Excellency the Snake over the Bayelsa matter, but we now know I was right. See how serpentine he has been by sneaking in the oil subsidy removal. We shall see in the coming weeks whether the plot against Governor Sylva can hold legal water.

By now "Tea Party Tim" Hudak's so-called plan for Ontario has been pretty thoroughly discredited.
But we still have to guard against splitting our vote between the Liberals and the NDP, thus allowing the "Regressive Conservatives" to get in by a small plurality.
Therefore, in each riding we must choose the strongest candidate who can decisively defeat the Conservative candidate.
Here in Waterloo that's obviously Catherine Fife.
Fife has proven to be a very good MPP, and she should be returned to office.
