June 15, 2016 - Love these beautiful little bowls but would only consider them soup bowls for small appetites.. I recognized from the measurements that they are the "standard" size for most Japanese rice bowls. It's nice to have lids I can use on my other rice bowls as well. No one has mentioned the clever features of the lid. The tab has a rotating dial that can be set on the day of the month so you don't leave leftovers in this lovely container too long. Lift the tab (as shown in the photo) to open a vent for microwaving. With the tab down, a plug completely seals the vent hole.
April 19, 2016 - THESE ARE DELIGHTFUL LITTLE BOWLS. I LOVE THE PATTERN AND COLOR, LOOK SO RICH AND EXPENSIVE! THE LIDS FOR THE BOWL ARE A GREAT IDEA
April 16, 2016 - Beautiful little bowl. I love anything to do with dragonflies. A little small for soup, but perfect for ice cream!!
April 16, 2016 - Beautiful bowl - mine is filled with dried flowers, herbs and crystals. Love it.
March 10, 2016 - Love these bowls. So nice to have the lids with them. I did not realize they were small like they are, but I did not look at the measurements, but I still LOVE them. They are very handy!

Groton — Naval law enforcement said Wednesday that a total of 14 active duty sailors assigned to the submarine base have been implicated in connection with drug activity.
The Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) has arrested six sailors assigned to the Naval Submarine Base thus far, but the investigation has revealed more sailors are implicated, the Navy said in a release Wednesday.
The sailors may face state criminal charges and be charged under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the release said. The sub base has removed the sailors from normal duty pending results of the investigation.
"NCIS will continue to pursue this case to determine whether any additional Navy personnel are involved with this particular ring, although at this time indications are that all users have been identified," said Supervisory Special Agent Gerald Tirocchi of the sub base's NCIS office.
Two sailors were cited for a minor infraction after a motor vehicle stop and search by NCIS and Groton Town police on April 30. The sailors had $900 and a small amount of marijuana in their possession and were charged by police with illegal possession of a controlled substance.
Four other sailors — Bron Lukas, 24, John Elder, 20, Corey Bernard, 20, and Derrick Saunders, 21 — were arrested May 1 and have been charged with criminal attempt to possess Ecstasy.
Four civilians from Rhode Island were arrested by Groton Town police on May 3 as part of the investigation into Navy personnel.
Travis Haught, 23, of Pawtucket, R.I., was charged with conspiracy to possess hallucinogens with intent to sell, two counts of possession of hallucinogens with intent to sell, two counts of possession of hallucinogens, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a dangerous weapon.
At the same time as Haught's arrest on Ohio Avenue, police charged the other occupants of the car — Ashton Knudsen, 20, of Charlestown, R.I., and Joshua Zuckerman, 24, and Cheyenne Collins, 18, both of Pawtucket — with conspiracy to possess hallucinogens with intent to sell.
During that arrest, police confiscated more than two ounces of Ecstasy and more than 100 doses of LSD. Haught was carrying the Ecstasy in powder form in his backpack, according to a police report. Some of the drug was in a container designed to look like a Dr. Pepper soda can, police said. The LSD was in the form of "peace designs" on a 3-inch-by-3-inch folded magazine paper that Haught carried in his shirt pocket.
Haught also had a digital scale, a silver spoon and a 10-inch hunting knife with a 6-inch blade, according to police.

HK Thiele Archive Report 2002-08-06
AES HC Heinz K. Thiele Archive

Re: Report on current activities in the HK Thiele Archive (August 2002)
In the past months considerations were made how to structure the data base of the archive. Indeed, Heinz Thiele prepared the structure of a catalogue but this does not meet really the aspects a data base should have. His catalogue entries only point to technical properties of audio and video equipment but do not directly onto inventors, companies, equipment names, etc. In my opinion these aspects are often more interesting for historical research because people do remember these better. So first attempts were made in order to refer on this too.
While I stay in the summer months off Berlin, the contact to the students programming the data base at the Technical University is reduced to email contacts. Therefore I expect further results in mid-October.
When I prepared my lecture on -The legendary Magnetophon of AEG- for the AESHC session on the 112th AES Convention in Munich I referred to photographs, circuit plots etc. that Heinz Thiele had gathered over so many years. Here I found many objects in envelopes. However, they were not systematically ordered and in many cases without any comment. Due to the reaction of participants of my lecture in Munich I felt that there was some interest to have access to this matter when the HKT-Archive data base will be available. Therefore I started to complete the missing information and to save the valuable objects in new folders. Next, I shall scan the images with reasonable resolution and store them together with their descriptions on CD-ROMs for later integration in a special section of the data base.

If you're stressing about there not being enough hours in the day to get everything done that needs doing, spare a thought for DEVal designer Debbie Lawson.
As well as running a busy boutique with retail stores in Dunedin and Christchurch, and designing for next season, she also recently bought the Caroline Moore (leatherwear) label and is about to relocate the factory to new premises opposite The Tannery in Woolston.
Increasing demand for her own designs means she needs to create more pieces as her label is now her boutique's biggest seller.
Her latest designs, however, are a far cry from the dolls outfits that she started out making as a child. "My mum sewed so she encouraged me and I was always designing dresses for my sister's Barbie dolls," she says.
When the family returned to Dunedin after living in London, Lawson says she couldn't find anything in the shops she liked so began designing clothes. "There was no variety and everyone seemed to be wearing Levis."
A teacher at St Hilda's Collegiate School recognised her talents and encouraged her to study fashion design at Otago Polytechnic while completing her high school studies. That suited Lawson because "I wasn't very good at school".
Lawson was 21 when her mother Val died, but her mum's influence lives on in many ways, including in Lawson's label, DEVal. Her designs use leather, wool, silk and cashmere.
"Everything we do is natural and will last. It looks good now and still will in three years' time. I don't believe in one season wonders."
The best style advice I ever heard was . . .
Less is more, buy quality, not quantity and think, will you wear it next season, next year and so on . . . investment dressing. Thanks Mum.
Is there one word to describe your style?
Do you divide your wardrobe into work/weekend/glam?
No, I don't divide my wardrobe, I wear whatever I feel like and what inspires me for that day.
Do you have favourite fashion pieces?
Yes, my watch, bags, scarfs and belts. I think accessories create a polished look and add individuality to your style. I love finding the right pieces to add to my DEVal wardrobe to finish a look.
What will you never wear?
Crocs. Never!
What's your opinion of today's woman?
More confident, better dressed, very busy, multi-taskers, and very hard working.
Today's man?
More aware of how they look and dress, very metro sexual. I find men are taking a lot better care of themselves and there appears to be a lot of role reversal in the household.
What's your comfort food?
Icecream, I LOVE icecream.
What is your favourite season?
Winter - I love the fabrics and the textures and all the coats, boots and scarfs, it is a lot more exciting. The winter season is more sexy and stylish.
What is the first thing you notice about people?
How they co-ordinate their outfits and their smile. I often smile at people and the way they smile back shows so much about a person.
Do you have a favourite treasure?
My mum's ring, I wear it as my engagement ring. It was worn by my grandfather's partner who died when I was 15, she was a very strong confident woman who would often tell me: "You are in charge of your own destiny." My mum wore it until she died. She was always polished and immaculately groomed, and is often my inspiration. My grandfather's next partner, Mary, then wore the ring and she was an amazing woman who taught me a lot about life when I lived with them in Australia. After she died I was ready to wear the ring myself and very rarely take it off.
Mountain hideaway or beach house?
Mountain hideaway. I love mountains and adventures, but also love island holidays. This question really tears me in two directions because I'm a beach girl also.
If it had been up to me . . .
there would be more love and compassion and no war and fighting. I can't read the newspaper or watch the news as I find it so negative and upsetting and I can't stand to start or finish the day like that.
I have a passion for . . .
Fashion, of course. Oh! And I love people.

Deals should be tailored to their audience.
Just about every day I receive an announcement of a new daily deal site—either in the form of a coupon (like Groupon, BuyWithMe, LivingSocial) or direct sales (like Rue La La, Gilt Groupe, WineShopper.com).
For a while, I signed up for most of them—or at least the ones of interest to me. But soon my inbox became overloaded. There were deals for facials at a women's hair salon (Groupon), women's lingerie (Rue La La) and hotel rooms in Chicago (JetSetter).
It quickly became too much of too little that I'm interested in—no matter how great the deal is. That's because they're not at all personalized to me. I go to a barber (okay, maybe there's no barber pole outside but it's not a spot where customers receive facials), I'm not in the market for lingerie and I already own a condo in Chicago so I don't need a hotel room.
I don't want to miss out on a can't-miss deal, but I also don't want to be bombarded with offers that aren't relevant to me. If daily deal sites are here to stay, they need to take a page from Amazon.com and other sites that personalize their offers based on the specific user.
If they don't better understand who I am and what I might be interested in buying, then I—along with many other people—will probably just unsubscribe from their e-mail list. In fact, for a few sites, I already have.

Kim Dotcom's Mega gets password resets, tells users to be more secure
Keep your encryption key close
DATA HAVEN MAGNATE Kim Dotcom has offered users an update on Mega, cautioning users to play by the rules.
Dotcom said that Mega's privacy and security are ensured by the use of encryption, but warned that is "eviscerated" when the key is shared. He said that this had already led to some DCMA takedowns, adding that some of those might be down to overzealousness.
"Mega distinguishes itself from other major cloud storage providers through two important concepts: Privacy and security. Both are utterly eviscerated by making encryption keys public, a fact that is not only self-evident, but also made very clear in the Mega user interface," he said.
"We apologize to the very small number of users who, due to Mega's cautious legal practices, had some of their authorized files mistakenly taken down. We do believe that by ignoring our advice and making encryption keys public, especially through sites that do not even implement a proper notice-and-takedown protocol, you were not entirely unprepared for negative repercussions."
There was other news. Dotcom said that Mega users can now change their passwords. The inability to do this was a worry for some, particularly those who had chosen a weak one when they signed up. A password reset capability has also been added.
Chrome's memory use has been reduced when transferring large files and Mega apparently is keeping a good eye on when and where such transfers fail. µ

One of Spain's biggest productions of the year, "Palm Trees" is written by "The Impossible" and "Orphanage" scribe Sergio Sanchez. It's set in the last days of the Spanish colonies in Africa, following a star-crossed love, with the consequences of that love reaching into the 21st century.
Fernando Gonzalez Molina directs, coming off Spanish box office hits "Three Meters Above the Sky" and "I Want You." "Palm Trees" stars two of Spain's young marquee draws: Mario Casas, who has grown a following in key markets such as Russia and Latin America after toplining "Three Meters" and "I Want You"; and Adriana Ugarte, star of hit period TV drama "The Time in Between" and Daniel Calparsoro's movie "Combustion," which sold to most of the world. An actress winner at San Sebastian for "Blancanieves," Macarena Garcia co-stars.

Mininova shuts down all illegal torrents
Mininova, one of the bigger Bittorrent filesharing sites on the Web, has shut down every single "infringing" torrent in its index and pledged to go legitimate. All torrents have been removed, except the ones that were uploaded through its content distribution service which allows artists to put their own content up.
The decision follows a court ruling after legal action from Dutch anti-piracy brigade BREIN. Mininova has always removed torrents pointing to copyrighted material on request, but the sheer weight of new torrents being uploaded made that difficult. The court ruled that Mininova wasn't liable for the infringement of its members, but that the site needed to implement a content filter.
A number of systems were trialled, but none proved 100% effective, so Mininova took the decision to remove almost every torrent in its index to avoid the threat of fines imposed by the court - 5 million euros. It's very unfortunate that we're forced to take this action, but we saw no other option", Mininova co-founder Niek told TorrentFreak.
That leaves few major torrent sites still standing, but thanks to the increasingly decentralised infrastructure pioneered by the Pirate Bay after its own lawsuit, the filesharing community is still alive and well, and more difficult to tackle than ever.

New safety-based legislation is worth watching
in the NewsBehind KION Group's acquisition of Dematic UniCarriers Americas executives partner with Roosevelt University Brexit impact yet to be measured by U.S. logistics managers Rail carload and intermodal volumes fall for the week ending June 18, reports AAR BTS reports U.S.-NAFTA trade falls 3.2 percent in April More News
While carriers and shippers always have things like capacity, rates, and transit times top of mind, another item on that list is safety. It always has been and always will be important—there is no way around it. That is a good thing. '
With that in mind, I think it is worth noting that safety-based transportation came out of the Senate Commerce Committee yesterday from U.S. Senators Frank R. Lautenberg, Chairman of the Senate Commerce Subcommittee on Surface Transportation and John D. (Jay) Rockfeller IV, Chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee.
Their bill, entitled the Motor Vehicle Safety Enhancement Act, reauthorizes the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and makes important improvements to federal truck and bus safety standards, according to Committee officials.
The bill's chief objectives are as follows:
-Require electronic on-board recorders be used on all trucks and buses used in interstate commerce in order to improve drivers' compliance with hours of service rules. Compliance with these rules will improve safety by ensuring truck and bus drivers are obtaining adequate rest;
-Improve the Department of Transportation's (DOT) registration process by requiring an applicant to pass a safety proficiency examination and submission of a safety management plan as a precondition for operating authority;
-Bolster FMCSA's ability to crack down on "reincarnated carriers" – carriers that attempt to resume operations after being put out of service – by increasing the Administration's ability to revoke carriers' operating authority and by requiring new operators to disclose all relationships with other motor carriers over the past five years as a condition of receiving operating authority; and
-Directs DOT to support FMCSA's implementation of its Compliance, Safety, and Accountability program, which will increase its oversight of the truck and bus industry and give it the authority to assess the safety fitness of drivers to further identify unsafe drivers.
On the surface, this bill appears to have good intentions. But that does not mean everyone will be behind it either, especially considering the fact that the Senate Commerce Committee is pro-new proposed Hours-of-Service changes, which the trucking industry is ostensibly uniformly against.
But with Washington being Washington, does anyone really know just how far this bill will go? In any event, this will be one piece of legislation worth watching.

Latest update June 28th, 2016 1:06 AM
Jan 11, 2013 News Comments Off on Monopoly-breaking telecoms legislation postponed again
After months of delay, government yesterday said that two critical Bills designed to open up the telecommunications sector will finally be debated in Parliament for approval by the end of the first quarter.
Prime Minister Samuel Hinds, who is charged with overseeing the telecoms sector, in moving yesterday to again postpone the debate, said that government is attempting to reach an agreement so as to prevent any conflict when the matter "actually reaches" the National Assembly.
The Telecommunications Bill 2012 and Public Utilities Commission (Amendment) Bill 2012, have been lingering in the National Assembly since August and government has been postponing the debate while holding consultations with the two local telephone companies, Digicel (Guyana) and the Guyana Telephone and Telegraph Company (GT&T).
GT&T has a monopoly on landline and international calls and Digicel has long been complaining it is being forced to route its international calls through GT&T, creating an unfair advantage.
Shortly before the 2011 General Elections, government at the last minute pulled the two Bills from the National Assembly.
This was after GT&T, 80% of which is owned by Atlantic Tele-Network (ATN) of the US, acknowledged that it has a monopoly and was prepared to negotiate about the impending liberalisation.
Government has said that a number of companies are poised to enter the sector and the under-development is heavily affecting Guyana's thrust.
Hinds admitted that the matter is a very difficult and challenging one.

Phoenix Rising
We CAN be Civilized!
Phoenix Rising
Blogs were written about Noah, and cards began to flow. Then more blogs came along, and more FaceBook wall posts and Twitter requests. Signs are all around that we're sliding down a slippery slope. It's obvious to so many of us that 'society' is moving beyond civilization - following the path of the once great Roman and Greek cultures. Business priorities are questionable, personal lives are filled with violence and disrespect. Just when I'm getting depressed - a Bright Light shines. He is a beacon of strength and positive thinking.

A Day Without Social Media
Phoenix Rising
My time has been filled between writing my book, blogging, normal work stuff and networking away. I also used the social media 'busy time' to duck the things I really didn't want to deal with in my 'other' life. Yesterday I decided to take a 'day off' from social media. I wanted to see what would happen. Would I show signs of withdrawal, be unable to focus as I frantically wondered what was happening out in the Twitterverse? Would I miss out on a fact of earthshaking importance from @LeadToday?

I have that thought a lot as I watch folks split hairs and debate the smallest aspects of the news, a blog, an article, a comment, a video or a performance. The freedom to share has increased our debates. used to think some people took a contrarian point of view just to feel important. We all know those types. But thanks to social media that behavior has expanded to include all of us. That's one of the powers of our connected world - we can all voice an opinion, share our perspective, debate an issue. We revel in our new power. If so - go for it.
Sensationalism is not Expertise!
Phoenix Rising
Many of us have been discussing this sad state on our own blogs or behind the scenes of social media. I am not about to try and steal Scott's thunder here. Scott McKain wrote a post on Friday that got me going, I ntellectual Dishonesty. It's an eloquent rant concerning the growing negativity and sensationalism created by supposed industry 'gurus', all for the sake of ratings and followers. IN the end that behavior all boils down to MONEY and EGO. As I said in my comment to Scott's post - once you sell out your integrity for money - we all know what you are. know I do.
Assumptions Anyone?
Phoenix Rising
We can state them in blog posts, Tweets, FB posts and YouTube videos. There's an old saying about assumptions. Remember? Have you ever found yourself disagreeing with someone - wondering how in the heck they could see the situation in their way? Only to find that your perspectives were based on dramatically different assumptions than your own? Now think about the impact of those assumptions on the task at hand. Social media gives power to our assumptions. Social media enables all of us to make our assumptions known. That made no sense to me.
Twisten Carefully
Phoenix Rising
And it doesn't really matter. I've found blogs to follow, information to guide my own learning - all from the folks who share on Twitter. Harvard Business Review ran an article last week entitled ' Let's Tweet About Something Important! ' I was yet again surprised by the premise of the article - that the power of social networking is being hijacked by frivolous, not-important-at-all information. We all know there's a lot of noise out there. That's one of the best things about social media - Twitter especially. And there's my point.

Too bad some smaller minds had to show up at the party. As soon as Steve said the name 'iPad' - they started attacking. After all, drama sells, right?

Don't try to tell me CXO's give input on every ghost blog post - we all know better. Companies don't know how to blog. CXO's don't have the time to blog.

Stop Blaming Marketing!
Phoenix Rising
Can I use that work on a blog?). My recent post Stop Blaming Sales received a few comments from sales type folks - asserting that I was 'right on', that marketing should not be given responsibility for websites, for corporate positioning - that marketing was pretty much worthless. I was kinda surprised by those comments - they were pretty far out of context from my own thoughts as I created that post. So - here I am again, discussing the flip-side of that statement. Stop Blaming Marketing! Enough already - the Enemy is Out There folks. My point?
If You Talk the Talk, You Better Walk the Walk
Phoenix Rising
That's why I named him in this blog. Businesses large and small are jumping into a social media presence these days. It's a great opportunity for real communication with your audience. If you walk the walk. But what happens when the talk isn't the walk? When a customer pushes past the social persona. Do you walk the walk - or do you crash and burn? Two cases in point. CASE ONE: The Social Media Guru Take a certain large corp that's into social media big time. One of the worst. Trust me, that says a lot. So I did. Still.

You have a new blog, your execs are tweeting - you're communicating more openly with customers and your market than ever before, in new and compelling ways. A business associate sent me an HBP newsletter on business transformation, a subject near and dear to my heart. Since it was HBP, I expected a positive upbeat view of all the upsides companies can enjoy thanks to the ever present opportunity for business transformation. Boy, was I ever surprised!

Hitler Downfall parodies taken down from YouTube - but are being replaced faster than they can be removed
From the death of Michael Jackson to the birth of the Apple iPad - one person guaranteed to be having a rant about it on YouTube is Adolf Hitler.
The clips of the German dictator losing it over a variety of subjects all follow the same simple formula - take a scene from the 2004 German language film Downfall, and change the English subtitles for comedy effect.
The parodies, ranging from Hitler being banned from Xbox Live to his reaction at Ronaldo's transfer from Manchester United, have become a wildfire hit on YouTube - but they are now being removed from the website.
Variations on a theme: by changing the subtitles of scenes from the 2004 film Downfall, Bruno Ganz as Adolf Hitler can be seen complaining about his ban from Xbox Live, above, or Susan Boyle not winning Britain's Got Talent
Constantin Films, the company that owns the rights to Downfall, has asked for the clips to be removed and YouTube has complied.
Not surprisingly, however, new clips are being posted as fast as they can be taken down - including one where Hitler is furious at being removed from YouTube.
In the scene most popularly used in the spoof clips, Hitler - played by Bruno Ganz - plunges into a terrifying rage after being told that the war is all but lost. He unleashes a torrent of fury at his senior staff, while others stand in shocked silence in the corridor outside.
Popular: a clip of Hitler attacking Kanye West for interrupting Taylor Swift's 2009 MTV speech was viewed by 1,067,024 viewers
By substituting the dialogue, and cleverly re-editing cutaway shots of the staff's expressions, the parodies can be on any subject where a completely over-the-top reaction is called for.
In some parodies, Hitler is the public figures being lampooned, while in others he is simply reacting to
Martin Moszkowicz, head of film and TV at Constantin films in Munich, said the company was fighting copyright infringement for years. But he admitted that removing all parody clips was an uphill battle.
Hitler gets banned from Xbox Live (4,260,975 views)
Ronaldo leaves Manchester United (1,439,671 views)
Hitler finds out Kanye West interrupts Taylor Swift (1,067,024 views)
Usain Bolt Breaks 100m World Record (1,096,241 views)
Hitler Finds Out Sarah Palin resigns (497,903 views)
He said: 'It is a task that can never be completed. They are popping up whenever we are taking one down. The important thing is to protect our copyright. We are very proud of the film.'
Like all internet hit clips, the precise origins are unclear. But the credit for perhaps the most popular version, Hitler gets banned from Xbox Live, which has racked up more than 4.2 million users, was claimed by British student Chris Bowley.
Since then the range of topics covered has been too numerous to list.
The removal of the clips was welcomed by Abraham Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League.
He said: 'We find them offensive. We feel that they trivialise not only the Holocaust but the Second World War. Hitler is not a cartoon character.'

Excellent points to ponder. Thanks again for the time. I think I would be greatly disappointed if all the cameras and photographers found a standard that actually worked. I love the variety and look forward to seeing "CC" in a thread title. "Challenges" are also amazing. What a sad place this would be if everyone was born with proper skin tone and every photographer captured it accurately.

The Ukrainian crisis is a litmus test for the world on many levels. The disintegration of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War inclined some analysts and politicians to adopt the theory that international tension had decreased and that the world was shifting to a post-political era in which international conflicts, especially large-scale ones, would die out and be replaced with internal conflicts.
This idea was based on the assumption that Russia had become a credible partner for the West on security issues, a partner inclined to cooperate instead of continuing the Soviet Union's imperial policies. After 9/11 in particular, on the rubble of the World Trade Center, so to speak, an anti-terrorist alliance was constructed that encompassed both the West and Russia. This military cooperation replaced the previous antagonisms and led the United States to completely revise its security policy. Since Russia is not a threat, the logic went, Europe is safe. That means we can leave it to its own devices in defense terms, even if its investment in defense is limited. America's attention can be directed toward the Pacific basin region. NATO's role can also be re-evaluated. Not even the Georgian war halted this way of thinking, as proved by the famous "reset" in U.S.-Russian relations.
The Ukrainian crisis has cast doubt on all these assumptions. Moscow's behavior is reminiscent of the Brezhnev era, with its doctrine of spheres of influence: a superpower should have the right to discipline the vassals in its sphere of influence by force whenever they try to speak up for their independence. Through one of its highest-ranking officials, the Kremlin recently expressed amazement that someone is questioning this doctrine, and even proposed to Washington that Russia and the United States should treat their mutual relations as a priority, while sidestepping problems "of lesser importance" such as international law, obligations and guarantees.
President Barack Obama's moderate language and gracious smile disappeared immediately after the vote of the Russian Federation's Supreme Council Presidium authorizing the Russian president to conduct an armed intervention in Ukraine. Soon after this menacing gesture came a refusal to consult with the other guarantors of Ukraine's independence (in 1994, the United States, Britain and Russia signed the Budapest Memorandum, pledging to respect Ukraine's territorial integrity; in return Kiev pledged to give up its nuclear weapons). It turned out, therefore, that America is not a believable partner and its guarantees are not worth the paper on which they were written. It is worth considering how this ruins the United States' position in the world. Obama is no longer dealing just with an attack on Ukraine—the most vital interests of the United States itself have been jeopardized. Everything that we are currently observing in Washington's behavior—the statements, announcements, the severing of military cooperation with Russia, personal sanctions, the suspension of talks, and the movement of air force and navy units—is a strong signal being sent to Vladimir Putin that the time for playing around is over.
Similar though less intensive measures are being taken by the European Union. The EU, thanks to Poland's active stance among other factors, has realized how important the Ukrainian crisis is, but, understandably, wants to resolve it at the smallest possible cost. Bearing in mind that it comprises 28 different countries, each with its own interests and point of view, the EU has been prompt, tough and uncompromising.
The Ukrainian lesson is teaching us a lot, for example about Russia, and is a source of much anxiety, but also of much hope—hope that NATO will awaken from its slumber, that the EU will be more unified, that America will remember that Europe is still important; and that more Russians will want to live normal lives in a normal country.
