Radar Technology - Primary RADAR - Height, "the RADAR equation" abnd Reflections
RADAR is can be used to track and aircrafts hieght above the gorund while in flight. One the flight decks secondary instruments if often a RAD-Alt, or RADAR Altimeter.
The height of a target over the earth's surface is called height or altitude. This is denominated by the letter H (like: Height). The altitude can be calculated with the values of distance R and elevation angle ε.
The altitude cannot be so simply calculated on a flying airplane, while refraction is caused when electromagnetic waves cross airlayers at different density and the earth's surface has a bend. The calculation of the targets altitude is not only a trigonometrically calculation. The current location grounding bend must also be taken into consideration.
In addtion the propagation of electromagnetic waves is also subject to a refraction and are also dependent on:
- the transmitted wavelength,
- the barometric pressure,
- the air temperature and
- the atmospheric humidity.
These variables are one of many reasons why modern aircraft use static pressure and Air Data Computers, rather than RADAR, to calulate their altitude.
The RADAR equation
The radar equation represents the physical dependences of the transmit power, that is the wave propagation up to the receiving of the echo-signals. Furthermore one can assess the performance of the radar with the radar equation.
Nondirectional power density diminishes as geometric spreading of the beam.
First we assume, that electromagnetic waves propagate under ideal conditions, i.e. without dispersion.
Nondirectional power density diminishes as geometric spreading of the beam. In the above image Nondirectional power density diminishes as geometric spreading of the beam.
If high-frequency energy is emitted by an isotropic radiator, than the energy propagate uniformly in all directions. Areas with the same power density therefore form spheres (A= 4 π R²) around the radiator. The same amount of energy spreads out on an incremented spherical surface at an incremented spherical radius. That means: the power density on the surface of a sphere is inversely proportional to the to the square of the radius of the sphere.
Since a spherical segment emits equal radiation in all direction (at constant transmit power), if the power radiated is redistributed to provide more radiation in one direction, then this results an increase of the power density in direction of the radiation. This effect is called antenna gain. This gain is obtained by directional radiation of the power.
Of course in reality radar antennas aren't "partially radiating" isotropic radiators. Radar antennas must have a small beam width and an antenna gain up to 30 or 40 dB. (e.g. parabolic dish antenna or phased array antenna).
The target detection isn't only dependent on the power density at the target position, but also on how much power is reflected in the direction of the radar. In order to determine the useful reflected power, it is necessary to know the radar cross section σ. This quantity depends on several factors. But it is true to say that a bigger area reflects more power than a smaller area. That means:
A Jumbo jet offers more radar cross section than a sporting aircraft at same flight situation. Beyond this the reflecting area depends on design, surface composition and materials used. With this in mind we can say: The reflected power Pr at the radar depends on the power density, the antenna gain.
Radar Reflections from Flat Ground
The trigonometric representation shows the influence of the Earth's surface. The Earth plane surrounding a radar antenna has a significant impact on the vertical polar diagram.
The combination of the direct and re-reflected ground echo changes the transmitting and receiving patterns of the antenna. This is substantial in the VHF range and decreases with increasing frequency. For the detection of targets at low heights, a reflection at the Earth's surface is necessary. This is possible only if the ripples of the area within the first Fresnel zone do not exceed the value 0.001 R (i.e.: Within a radius of 1000 m no obstacle may be larger than 1 m!).
Specialized Radars at lower (VHF) frequency band make use of the reflections at the Earth's surface and lobing to maximize cover at low levels. At higher frequencies these reflections are more disturbing. The following picture shows the lobe structure caused by ground reflections. Normally this is highly undesirable as it introduces intermittent cover as aircraft fly through the lobes. The technique has been used in ATC ground mounted radars to extend the range but is only successful at low frequencies where the broad lobe structure permits adequate cover at higher elevations.
Raising the height of the antenna has the effect of making the lobbing pattern finer. A fine grained lobing structure is often filled in by irregularities in the ground plane. Specifically, if the ground plane deviates from a flat surface then the reinforcement and destruction pattern resulting from the ground reflections breaks down. Avoidance of lobe effects is one of the prime considerations when selecting a radar location and the height of the antenna.

Oh I get it. Video games are important, so it's not his fault for being neglectful and not taking time to fulfill his role in a relationship. It's her job to appease him and just start playing with him, instead of making him man up and stop playing his game for even just a bit.
I know I'm probably over analyzing, but small things like that get to me. I love video games as much as the next guy, but I've known too many people who I've seen ruin themselves and their social relations because they'd rather play video games.
As for the video itself….ok, it was pretty hilarious.

Unjust justice. That is the feeling I have when I think of our local law enforcement.
On Friday of last week, a local family found out a grandfather sexually molested all of his granddaughters and has been doing so for years. It totals three sets of parents and four babies. The parents reported the incident and Wood County Sheriff's deputies showed up to take a report. All weekend the parents and children lived on pins and needles and no sleep waiting for help from our local law enforcement. They left many messages and as of 3 p.m. Tuesday had still not even had a return call. In fact they came to find out a report was never even done.
The strange thing is, if someone was using marijuana or texting and driving, deputies would be there in five minutes, with a fury. But four innocent children devastated and a family shook to its core can't even get a call back. They keep crying they need more money to protect the community and stronger laws for sex offenses. I have a great idea, enforce the ones in place.
What's that new hummer for, and since when did a gun wear out. I mean they're not in a military zone. I am disgusted by what has transpired.
As a single mother, I do not feel safe here. We need a sheriff and mayor who do their job instead of looking for ways to spend our money and getting in the limelight as much as they can. So as of now, a disgusting pedophile is still unarrested and four little girls and their families have no answers. Isn't exactly a warm and safe feeling, is it?

Inductive vs. Deductive Reasoning 1333 Views
Share It!
There are two different ways to use reasoning: deductive and inductive. Deductive reasoning starts with a general theory, statement, or hypothesis and then works its way down to a conclusion based on evidence. Inductive reasoning starts with a small observation or question and works its way to a theory by examining the related issues.

Fall/Winter 2008 Denim Fit Guide
Hello and welcome to the Fall/Winter 2008 Universal Gear Denim Fit Guide! Allow me to "guide" you through the nasty terrifying trenches of choosing the right denim to fit your body.
Skinny Jeans: Yes,Yes these suckers are everywhere right now, but just because they are "in" doesn't mean they are for you. Thin and average proportioned men can pull this look off with out a hitch but for the guy who has bit more meat on his bones this may not be for you. (No worries if you fall into this category please check boot cut) This tapered cut of denim is great for capturing that edgy raw look, and for a bit of flair cuff the bottom hem slightly, just enough to show a bit of ankle (or a bright, funky sock).
Straight Leg: The every man's jean, the great thing about straight leg denim is that it fits just about everyone, with the right wash and paired with a snazzy dress shirt (that's right I just said snazzy) this look is perfect for a casual work day or a first date. Every guy should have at least one straight legged jean in their closet, they are versatile and essential.

Boot Cut: Another essential for every man's wardrobe is the boot cut, while it's every bit as versatile as the straight leg it has a little bit of "umph" that is likely to turn a few heads. As mentioned above the boot cut jean is great for the guy with a little extra meat on his bones, the fit produces a great visual illusion that evens the top and the bottom out. Also depending on the wash this is also another cut that is perfect for the office or a night out.
Diesel Zathan, G-Star Core Custom, Diesel Zathan
Flare: When you want to give a little extra look to your outfit the flare cut is great, while not completely over the top it does add a little extra depth to your look. The flare is essentially just an exaggerated version of the boot cut, it's perfect for going out but I would keep this style out of the workplace. NOTE: For the guy with larger thighs check out the Koffha and Zaf cuts from Diesel.
Diesel Khoffa, Diesel Zaf, William Rast
NEW Hybrid Style:
Diesel has recently designed a denim cut called the Zatiny, this great cut brings the best of both worlds, Skinny and Boot, together. This style fits like a boot cut but the leg of the jean is slightly tapered like a skinny jean. It's the perfect crossover jean for those who have been hesitant to try the skinny look.
Tips for Body Types
If You Have a Flat Butt
-If you want to add some curves to your body look for stretch denim and slim fits.
-Avoid rigid, loose fit or wide legs jeans.
-Check out denim with a flap or zippered back pockets. Those details tend to add bulk and curvature where you need it most.
If Your Have Fuller/Muscular Thighs
-You can try a flare or a boot cut. Those jeans tend to balance out the curves of your hips and thighs with a slight flare at the bottom of the jeans. But avoid ultra-slim boot cuts like the Diesel Zathan (you won't be able to get those over your thighs). Most True Religion jeans or the Diesel Zaf have more room in the thigh and will better accentuate your body.
- Those looking to play down their curves should try a mid to low rise straight leg. The silhouette of the straight leg will deemphasize your thighs and even out the curves on the lower half of your body.
If you're on the Shorter Side.
-To elongate the leg and body go for a pair of low rise jeans with a longer leg to wear with boots.
-Look for jeans with different inseam lengths. Most jeans without inseams have a 33" or 34" length.
-Avoid wide leg, flares, or anything that will widen your shape.
Note- If you need to hem your jeans, take them to your tailor and ask to keep the original hem -- they'll look like they are straight from the manufacturer and you'll be able to retain all the worn-in details the brand has added to the hem! But be careful not to go too short, most jeans shrink up to 1/2 an inch if you wash and tumble dry them regularly.
If you're on the Taller Side.
-Check out denim with a low rise and a narrow boot cut or straight leg.
-Stay away from wide legs or flared jeans.
Note -- To add some style and a couple extra inches you can always let out the bottom seam, which usually contains close to 1 extra inch of fabric.
-G-Star jeans are slightly shorter than most brands. If you're normally a 32 length in Diesel and Levi's, you may want to try a 34 length in your G-Stars.

Chelsea's Earls Court stadium plans in tatters
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Housing and also in Development, Local Government
Chelsea Stamford Bridge
Chelsea Football Club's dreams of building a new stadium on the Earls Court site have been ended by Hammersmith and Fulham Council.
The local authority has decided to go ahead with an 8,000-home redevelopment of the site, meaning the Premier League team will have to look elsewhere in their quest for a new ground.
It is a second major blow to the Blues new stadium plans. Last year, the club tried to buy the Battersea Power Station site only for it to be sold to a Malaysian company.
The council announced on its website that it has made an agreement that will bring "£1 billion worth of community benefits" to North Fulham and Earls Court.
The Earls Court redevelopment will see 7,583 new homes built, including 760 replacement council properties.
The council said: "The Earls Court landowners, H&F Council and Capco, are committed to the regeneration of the Earls Court Opportunity Area in line with the master-plan.
"It is the firm intention of the two landowners to proceed with this landmark regeneration, creating 9,500 permanent new jobs and around 36,000 temporary construction jobs.
"Neither of the two landowners believes that the inclusion of a football stadium in the scheme would offer the regeneration benefits of the existing master plan."

Wicked Strong, California Chrome Triumph Ahead of Derby
On the first Saturday in April, the outlook for the Kentucky Derby on the first Saturday in May remains as confusing as ever.
Wicked Strong rallied to win Saturday's Wood Memorial at Aqueduct Racetrack in New York. Samraat finished second, while favored Social Inclusion finished third.
Trained by James Jerkens and ridden by Rajiv Maragh, Wicked Strong paid $20.40 on a $2 win bet.
"He was more settled and just did everything perfect today," Maragh said in the winner's circle after the race.
New York Racing Association analyst Maggie Wolfendale noticed the physical change in Wicked Strong in the paddock prior to the running of the Wood. "Wow. He looked tremendous today. He's grown a lot," Wolfendale said.
Wicked Strong is a son of Hard Spun, the Kentucky Derby runner-up in 2007. "Looks like a horse where distance shouldn't bother him," Jerkens said.
The Wood runners planning to make a Run for the Roses on May 3 will be seeking to break a losing streak. The last 21 horses to run their final prep race in New York prior to the Kentucky Derby all finished out of the money at Churchill Downs. Funny Cide in 2003 was the last horse to run in the Wood to win the Derby.
Eleven horses have pulled off the Wood Memorial/Kentucky Derby double, including Triple Crown winners Gallant Fox (1930), Count Fleet (1943), Assault (1946) and Seattle Slew (1977). Secretariat ran third in the 1973 Wood before his Triple Crown domination.
Meanwhile in California, the aptly named California Chrome blazed to his fourth straight win, taking the Santa Anita Derby. Hoppertunity finished second, while Candy Boy was third.
California Chrome, ridden by Victor Espinoza and trained by Art Sherman, stalked the pace set by longshot Dublin Up before taking the lead into the stretch. The son of Lucky Pulpit paid $3.40 to win and stamped himself as the early favorite for the May 3 Derby.
Horses that have pulled off the Santa Anita Derby/Kentucky Derby double include I'll Have Another (2012), Sunday Silence (1989), Winning Colors (1988) and Affirmed (1978).
Next weekend, the final two races worth 100 points to the winner in the Derby point standings will be contested: The Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Ky., and the Arkansas Derby at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Ark.

Most electronics devices contain minerals that originate in
the mines of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, often called "conflict
And as you read this, men,
women and children are being threatened with force – often at gunpoint –to work
in Congolese mines where conflict minerals for our electronics devices come
While many big electronics
companies have already taken steps to get rid of conflict minerals in their
supply chain, Nintendo has yet to
join the electronics industry audit program for conflict-free smelters nor has
it required its suppliers to use only conflict-free smelters – the bare
minimum requirement for taking action on conflict minerals.
Call on Nintendo to
take the first step toward ensuring their products are free of conflict
minerals mined with slavery by auditing their supply chain according to
industry standards and making this information public.
To Satoru Iwata, CEO of Nintendo Co., Ltd
and Nintendo North AmericaThe violence and slavery associated with the production of minerals in the Congo is devastating. While other leading brands are making efforts to make their products free of slave-mined 'conflict minerals', we are disappointed by your score of Zero in the Enough Project's recent industry ranking. Please take the first step towards making your products free of conflict minerals by auditing your supply chain.

What's with all the vehicles with blacked-out tinted windows lately? ORS 815.221 and 815.222 make it a Class B traffic violation to drive a vehicle with, or to apply, black or overly dark window tinting except behind the driver. It seems like every new ego-mobile I see on the road lately is totally blacked out.
I know it's not a factory option, and I wouldn't think that any reputable dealer would be applying this stuff, so what's the deal?
— Frank, via email
We too have seen plenty of opaque auto glass and rear windows that make pianos comparatively transparent, but isn't "What's the deal?" a rather open-ended question to ask the police?
Regardless, that's what we did. We reached out to Medford police Lt. Mike Budreau to, ahem, shed some light on your query, and he pointed us to the same two Oregon statutes you mentioned.
Budreau informed us that ORS 815.221 covers tinting, authorized and prohibited materials and certification, while 815.222 covers penalties. Budreau admitted that the particulars of 815.221 was rather lengthy, but most of the statute can be distilled to say tinting can be applied to side or rear windows if it has a light transmittance of 35 percent or more.
Budreau said officers are issued special cards they can place behind the glass during traffic stops.
"If we can't read the card, that's probable cause that it's too dark," he said.
He added that there's a light meter at the station to definitively determine whether the vehicle is out of compliance, and that the statute requires aftermarket shops to provide drivers a certificate of compliance.
"If they do illegal tint, they will tell you up front they will not be providing a certificate of compliance," Budreau said.
Shops that perform an illegal installation face citations, same as dark-windowed vehicle drivers.
"The law applies to both the person installing and the person driving the vehicle," he said. "Anybody who does illegal tint opens themselves up to a citation."
As a class B traffic violation, those drivers face a $260 fine, Budreau said. He explained that the citation is a fix-it ticket.
Budreau explained that although it may seem like those drivers are getting by unnoticed, they're on the police's radar.
"It's a matter of time before they're going to get stopped," he said. "Typically no one wants to be driving around with probable cause to be stopped at any time."

Celebrity Infinity Cruise Review by johngk: Celebrity Infinity Transatlantic Cruise 10/24/13 to 11/7/2013
Overall Member Rating
Celebrity Infinity Transatlantic Cruise 10/24/13 to 11/7/2013
Destination: Transatlantic
Embarkation: Harwich
In my opinion Holland America sets the standards for cruising, and I rate it a 5* out of 5*. Infinity I rate a 4*.
The ship's management and staff were all first class. The entertainment guest selection was outstanding, as well as the ship's singers and dancers. There were many selections of activities on board to satisfy almost everyone's desires. The 5 ports we visited exceeded our expectations. The food and presentation for breakfast and lunch was very good, but the evening meals were disappointing for the two of who are on restricted diets. The other 6 people sitting at our table were well satisfied with the "meat and potato" selections, but after 3 tries we gave up on the fish presentations consisting of; salmon, Pollock and Flounder. It is difficult to "mess-up" Salmon and Flounder, but the chief found ways to destroy the flavor of each of these fish.
The ship's crew needs a little training in the maintenance of the ship. Our veranda had paint smears and drips More from previous paintings. Also, about a week out an odor of fresh oil based paint was apparent in the second aft stairwell that was very irritating to me and my companion. May have been a coincidence, but my companions sinus' became inflamed by the next day. The odor persisted for the next 3 days. The aforementioned inconveniences did not materially affect our overall satisfaction with the ship's crew and the cruise. Would definitely cruse with Celebrity again. John G.K.

Comparing Only Leads to PainBy Jonathan (Jehowah) Starr Written July 1999Click here for Readers' Comments
As we continue to experience the intensity of integration…and to judge and compare those experiences, a word of caution for those with codings from the dark side…
Through the endeavors of the 9D Nibiruan Council, the people of Earth have been given the nine steps of the Compassion Formula, the nine levels of DNA Recoding, Reconnection and Activation, and the
Compassion Keys. All are higher dimensional information converted into 3D language that we can understand from our perspective in this 3D planetary school.
They were meant to be accessed and used first by Walk-ins, Starseeds and anyone else who came to assist mankind of earth, to enable them to
create templates that mankind could use to attain the consciousness of ascension, and the shift of themselves and their planet to the 5th dimension.
This was necessary because the systems on this planet being fear-based, and combined with the denseness of the planet, make it next to
impossible to ascend without those higher dimensional templates. There is no way out without a templates and processes to use.
Each individual who accesses these templates (the DNA RRA Process and the Compassion Keys) in the consciousness grid of earth to integrate the
light and dark will find their experiences are often different than those of their neighbor. What I want to share with you is a story of the futility of
comparing one's experiences to another in this process because it can only lead to unnecessary pain and suffering.
Each person's experience of working these steps and ascending these levels is an experience unique to that person. It all depends upon one's
orientation, lessons to learn, past life experiences to be integrated and, most importantly, one's coding.
One of the most difficult problems that I had in 1998 after I walked in, was constantly comparing my experience to Jelaila's description of her
experiences. For as I found out slowly but surely, the greatest pain was not in the experience itself (no matter how difficult), but in my judgement
of myself in how I was transgressing the experience, how quickly I was moving through my next step, and the conclusion of perceived self worth based upon those two judgements.
In earth's system the ego/child part of us has been rigorously trained to base self worth on what one does, who one is to another (and how they
are valued and treated by that other), what one has (possessions), and what one has accomplished. I share the following experience as a painful example of this patterning.
In 1998, shortly after my marriage to Jelaila, I lost my business of 12 years (remember that a walk-in assumes the memories, experiences and
obligations of the original soul). The one friend/employee that I trusted to purchase my company betrayed that trust. He played a very dark role for me and became my nemesis.
Due to choices he made, (one was to fire a salesman who just closed an 800,000 deal that we lost due to the termination of the salesman) my
company collapsed, my bank accounts were seized, myself left unpaid, and all those who were in my company (which were like my family) were
betrayed and left jobless, with paychecks that bounced. These were just a few of the life dramas that presented themselves as a context for soul growth and RRA during the demise of my business.
During this time I found it extremely difficult, and at times, impossible not to judge myself and have negative feelings about who I was, and how
well I was working the nine steps and recoding. With my identity gone, and my livelihood destroyed at the hands of another (my feelings at the
time), I felt helpless with rage, and near hatred consumed me no matter how many times I used the Formula. And all the while I kept asking
myself, "How could I be the one selected for this role of representing the Dark with such rage and helplessness engulfing me? Perhaps because of
my coding (reptilian) I am incapable of transmuting and achieving compassion. Someone obviously has made a big mistake! How can I have
such judgements when I know that compassion is experienced only when all judgements have been released? How can I possibly be making
templates for other reptilian coded people to use if I cannot do it myself?"
All my feelings of inadequacy were made worse by listening to Jelaila's experiences because I thought that mine were supposed to be like hers.
And this too added fuel to the fire as I struggled to deal with my feelings of jealousy and anger towards her for being able to do it so easily, or so I
believed. There were many times that I wanted to tell her to shut up when she would be telling me how she just "got" this lesson or that
lesson. It seemed so easy for her. It didn't seem fair.
It was not until my father, Cobazar, spoke to me from the other realm that I began to release the idea that I should be able to move through
this experience like she did. He said to me in his deep, voice, " My son, the way a dinosaur walks across the land is quite different from how a
lioness would do it. A dinosaur's steps are slow, sure and steady; a lioness scampers, its feet barely touching the ground. As for how they
experience integration, it is similar to the way they experience a pool of water. Cats will dip their toes in and quickly withdraw. Reptiles, on the
other hand, will immerse themselves completely in the water, taking their time."
With my father's help, I began to see that comparing my experiences to Jelaila's was only creating more pain for me, heightening my feelings of worthlessness.
So, if you are anything like me you will spend more time in your immersion into darkness, be it depression, anger, a dark mood or whatever. The
cats don't do it that way. They dip their toes in, get a feel and scamper off. That is their experience, not ours. As I began to embrace my own
experience, I began to appreciate the experience. I began to know that this is what I came to experience. This is what I came to do. It was not
all the things that my ego was convinced that I should be doing, thinking or feeling. (See Jelaila's booklet The Soul/Ego/Self Partnership) The true
value was in my present, my now. It was in my experience.
By learning to flow with the experience I was able to bring the rage and disappointment I felt into compassion by seeing the lesson, the contract,
the role and reflection, the aspect of myself, and the inevitable gift. Only then was I able to move into acceptance, allow myself to let go of
the negative feelings and release my former business partner from blame.
So, in listening to others' experiences of working these steps remember, if you want to know how it's supposed to be then look at what you are
experiencing and embrace it. Don't compare! The way you are experiencing it is exactly how it's supposed to be.

Anonymous. He was a chemical dependency and family counselor for over 12 years.
Jonathan sold his former business interests and purchased the original Nibiruan Council in 1997, marrying Jelaila in 1998. His connection to
Jelaila's work was that he had always felt there was a piece missing in the 12 Step programs which he found in the Compassion Key. He co
-authored with Jelaila two of the Keys of Compassion and was proofreader and collaborator on most of Jelaila's articles and books as
well as functioning as general manager of the Nibiruan Council business for 10 years.
Jonathan has helped countless individuals to apply the 12 Steps, use Agreements and embrace their Dark Side to improve the quality of their
sobriety, and apply the higher principles, the Keys of Compassion, to their relationships such as marriages, parent-child and child-parent. He also
specializes in assisting those who struggle with depression, shame and guilt to create a way out of the emotional pain and attain peace.

Join the youth movement for liberty!
Get active and organize on your campus. Learn how to launch a YAL chapter today!
Your generous support helps us build our campus network to reach tens of thousands of students.
Wednesday, August 24th The University of Illinois, Springfield campus had a revitalization of the spirit of liberty. Forged in the fires of revolution and against all odds, the YAL chapter of UIS is getting back on track. We were not able to secure a table, but with the use of clipboards, ingenuity, and a box full of US Constitutions, the acquisition of student signatures and attention began to build.
The mobile liberty model worked well for the small team of activists. Student interest came from different backgrounds and even various nationalities. Many new students who approached us already heard of YAL. Even an alumnus came by the fair to support the our movement!
Overall, our Chapter was able to increase our numbers, attract students who were unaware of the liberty movement, and make a statement on campus -- even without a table. Liberty can't be contained, and our chapter will continue to grow at UIS.
The Kennesaw State YAL chapter decided to hit the ground running at the beginning of the fall semester of 2016. Though the KSU chapter was formed last minute, you would certainly never know!
Our chapter members were fired up to start communicating with other students about YAL and and just what exactly we stand for. We all braced the nearly one hundred degree Georgia heat and strolled around the campus handing out pocket constitutions and information cards. As expected, there were a good number of students who brushed us off but we were encouraged by the number of students who actually were interested.
The beautiful thing about the pro-liberty message is that virtually every person we came into contact with had at least one position and/or idea that we agreed on! We were able to reach people of different races, gender, and even some with political beliefs that we had not even heard of before. More importantly than just sharing our core beliefs, we were able to answer a few questions that our fellow students had. Over the course of a few hours we successfully gave out all of our pocket constitutions. If that isn't starting out on a positive note I am not sure what is! We are looking forward to growing our chapter and furthering the message of liberty this school year!
Two weeks ago Young Americans for Liberty hosted our 8th annual National Convention. It was a huge success.
With 382 student leaders from 302 campuses in all 50 states, the 2016 YALCON reflects the growth of our organization. It was truly inspiring to see so many motivated liberty activists in the same room. Check out our official report below...
American University's (AU) top activists attended this year's Young Americans for Liberty National Convention during the last week of July. The experience provided informative engagement with the liberty movement's greatest contributors and outstanding strategies for campus domination.
These accomplished contributors included keynote speaker Dr. Ron Paul, Rep. Justin Amash, Penn Jillette, and Judge Andrew Napolitano, each of whom instilled convention attendees with life lessons of spreading liberty.
Entering my freshman year of college I was confident how my first year would play out. Go to classes, hang out, maybe play some intramural sports, but that was it. I didn't come to school to start something, I was just here to get my degree and get out. Never was it in my intent to come to college and create an organization, let alone assist leaders in a state wide network of campus based organizations, but luckily fate intervened in the form of a YAL staffer.
While I was already inclined to the ideas of liberty I had no passion for the subject, nor did I command a true understanding of the philosophy. I was an ardent keyboard warrior ready to share the dankest of liberty-themed memes, but I never pushed past the internet to take my ideas into the real world. Having stumbled across the YAL website I signed up as a member and looked for a chapter at my school. Realizing my university was not home to a YAL chapter I forwent the seemingly daunting task of starting a chapter. Who was I, some starry-eyed freshmen with no real presence on campus and absolutely no leadership experience, to start a brand new organization? Chalking it up as a loss I closed my browser and went on with my life.
Having trouble finding activities for you and your YAL chapter to do as a group? Need a good recruiting tool to get people at school to join your team? Well now you can catch them all! Unless you're living under a rock or hate technology, you've probably seen your friends go crazy over the Niantic Labs app-based game Pokémon Go. It allows you and your friends to capture Pokémon in the real world by walking around in the real world and catching the popular creatures on your phone. You can train them, team up with friends to battle with them at cyber gyms, as well as visit real world landmarks such as churches and memorials to get in game items. If you grew up playing the original Pokémon Red, Pokémon Blue, or Pokémon Yellow games on the Gameboy, it's a great throwback to that time, in addition to being an excuse to go outside and walk around.
Originally, Niantic meant to release this game starting in Australia and New Zealand to start and eventually open up the game to North American, European, and Japan once the test releases in Australia went smoothly. This is a very common thing for websites, games, and apps meant for a wide audience. When a developer knows there will be high demand for a product, they'll release the game slowly in various markets, after extensive beta testing, to give their servers time to adapt and adjust to the sudden surge of new users. This allows the players to have a relatively bug-free launch once the game is available for wide release. In fact, the absence of this phase-in approach was one of the primary reasons for why the Obamacare website crashed so frequently in its early days.
Young Americans for Liberty at Eastern Kentucky University held a massive Constitution Week program on campus. Constitution Week coincides with our campus/city activity fair called City Fest. Which brings together over 2,000 event goers.
With that in mind, our chapter wondered how we could reach as many students as possible. So we brainstormed as a chapter and decided on our course of action. We would hand out 2,000 U.S. Constitutions and hold a series of events on campus.
The right to be left alone is synonymous with one's privacy rights, is a right upheld in multiple court hearings and cases. It is enshrined implicitly in the bill of rights. It was once an expectation and value in American Culture and something our founding fathers fought a revolution over. As such many of our YAL members may have found themselves outraged by Edward Snowden exposing the NSA spying program, what the Patriot Act, and now the USA Freedom Act has done to our privacy rights. Many chapters may be excited about starting an activism event on this topic. One idea for activism that floats about around state and national conventions is a protest the NSA event. It has been executed at a few chapters nationwide. It's a great event that usually garners quite a bit of attention at school campuses if executed well. It has been my experience that the best activism events, the ones that get the most signups and fosters the most conversations (having a memorable conversation and connection with someone is a great way to actually get people out to meetings) are ones that are interactive. Make your event bold, make it exciting, and get your members involved. (Members are more likely to come to more meetings the more involved they get with your chapter, helping with activism is a way to get their skin in the game and ensure their commitment to seeing the principles of liberty win).
The late Dr. Marc Allan Feldman embodied all that was good and right about being a libertarian. Dr. Feldman, a relatively unknown libertarian figure, took up his trade as an anesthesiologist at the renowned Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. It wasn't until age 50 that he registered to vote and subsequently ran for Ohio Attorney General in 2010, amassing over 100,000 votes (almost 3% of the vote). Later, in 2014, he would run for Ohio Treasurer, although was forced off the ballot. In his brief career in politics,Dr. Feldman flew relatively under the radar until his breakout debate performance in late May. In this debate, Dr. Feldman consistently answered questions with quick quips, combining both wit and compassion. It was clear Dr. Feldman had both a deep understanding of the libertarian philosophy as well as the wherewithal to remove the politicization from issues concerning our nation and replace it with sincere humanity. Dr. Feldman was a breath of fresh air within libertarian circles, which has been riddled with infighting based on nitpicked issues. It seemed as if Feldman's standing in the liberty movement was just beginning to rise, yet he tragically and abruptly passed away only a month after his breakout moment. The least we could do to honor him is to take a page out of his playbook and approach our philosophy with civility, open-mindedness, and compassion, rather than the smug intellectualism and purism that is all too common in our circles.
Autumn is right around the corner, and that means that college football is about to kick off. At my university, which will remain unnamed throughout the piece, our culture is centered a lot around the football season and includes lots of partying. However, when fun and games ends up hurting someone's feelings, that is when the party has to stop. Political correctness has invaded our college campuses and spread like a disease, making the environment at these schools intolerant of free speech. I would like to share my story of how political correctness destroyed a tradition near and dear to my heart: Beer Band.
The Beer Band has been a long standing tradition, completely not associated with the university, or the marching band at all. A group of students gather outside a local bar the night before a home football game, decked out in black and gold apparel. They are carrying their respective instruments, some on makeshift drums, others on beat up instruments only used for Beer Band purposes. They are about to take part in a tradition that has been passed down in the marching band just as seriously as their marching technique.
The night typically consists of playing the school's fight song, singing some anti-fight songs of some opposing schools, singing some miscellaneous comical songs, and lots of free beer. The Beer Band is more of a community event—it excites people for the game tomorrow, and it provides entertainment. The police do not stop the band, though they are usually loud and draw attention to themselves between bars. The bar owners are more than happy to give away free beer to the Beer Band. Everyone enjoys themselves.
That is, everyone except a woman who will be referenced as LM, an English professor at a near by community college. On this particular Friday night, she was spending some time at a local coffee shop and book store which is also in the same downtown area as most of the bars in this college town. After leaving the area, she was walking through a large open space known as the "Ped Mall".
The ped mall is the middle stop for the Beer Band and it is probably the most exciting stop of them all. It is completely outdoors—not in any bar, but rather in between all of the bars. College students and others, including LM were gathered in the crowd that usually congregates around the band. People dance and sing along with the Beer Band, they take pictures with them, but even the drunk college kids know that it is purely entertainment.
In a public statement, LM explains that she heard some of the traditional Beer Band songs and was "shocked, appalled, and deeply upset" by what she heard. Though in reality, having learned these songs when I was a freshman, I can attest to the vulgarity and lewdness of the lyrics of these songs—they are completely harmless. Here is the entire statement:
"I saw this thing on Friday night in the ped mall. And it deeply troubled/troubles me. I've since felt a bizarre (internal) pressure to walk away from it in silence, to pretend I didn't witness what I did. But with a friend's urging I sent this email:
Greetings, XxXxX .
I don't think we know one another, but I finished my Ph.D. at U of Iowa in late 2013, and now I'm tenured faculty in Kirkwood's English Department. I've been a member of the Iowa City community since 2005.
Friday night I went to Prairie Lights to attend the Iowa Review reading, after which I had a drink at The Social Club, then walked through the ped. mall, enjoying a gorgeous evening alone.
I stopped to watch what appeared to be part of the marching band, what would later become known to me as the "beer band," in front of the Sheraton Hotel. I'm a former (high school) drumline member and was excited to see a public marching band performance.
But I was shocked, appalled, and deeply upset by what I witnessed. It was so surreal, in fact, that I had to ask both a female participant and another female observer to confirm what I thought I was hearing, which was, indeed, shouted lyrics, repeating: "Gang rape, gang rape, twice a day"; something along the lines of "You won't give me head; then fuck you. I'll fuck your sister," and other lyrics easily reduced to either the fucking or murdering of women, oftentimes conflated.
I'm not a person easily upset, and I'm certainly no prude. But what I witnessed that night made me physically ill. I turned to a female participant to ask what the hell it was I just heard, so sickened and in shock I felt, to which she responded, both sympathetic and resigned: "The culture's changed. I'm sorry you're so upset." This, from a young woman maybe 19. Maybe.
I'm not sure whom to go to about this, but I was told to email you. So here I am, emailing you, hoping there's some kind of intervention. I could talk about raising my four young sons in Iowa City; or about how this is particularly terrible in Iowa City, with its already pervasive rape culture. I don't think I need to do that. I'm appealing to you as a human being to another human being, hoping you can intervene somehow for obvious human reasons.
Thanks for your time.
Devoid of any common sense, LM was triggered by the performance and decided to ask someone in the Beer Band themselves what was going on and she was only told that "The culture has changed." Well yes, quite obviously the culture has changed, but it was not the Beer Band that has evolved, it is the politically correct culture that has changed. The Beer Band has been doing this sort of thing for generations of college students, and it was not until LM witnessed this performance and felt "physically ill" by the entertainment that it became a problem. Because she felt the Beer Band's presence was such a danger to the community, she decided to write to the university administration and asked for an "intervention", trying to appeal to them as a "human being to another human being."
I know that I speak for the majority of the residents of this college town when I say that the Beer Band has been wrongly condemned based on one individuals misunderstanding, and hypersensitivity to the performance she witnessed.
Once the administration got involved, the slippery slope of denying free speech began to take over. The head of the school's marching band was contacted—despite the fact that not one of the students was using a university owned instrument, and no one was wearing anything suggesting their membership in the university marching band. He spoke to the band members during the next band practice and told them to no longer participate in Beer Band.
Following this lecture, the student leaders were contacted on Facebook by the band manager—also a student, who happened to have made problematic comments to the media about the incident relating the Beer Band to the university marching band. This was a long message, probably put together by the staff which references a controversial marching band story at another school. This is not even a comparable story because at the other university, it was more of a hazing situation and the Beer Band is not mandatory or required in any way by the university band. People participate in it because it is fun, it carries tradition, and it gets them hyped for game day.
Also in the message, the students were given a scripted statement to say to the press, he puts a halt to all Beer Band related activities, and even suggests the cops will get involved if Beer Band activities continue. He begins and ends his message with an eerie threat to the student's free speech; beginning with asking to keep this message in a "secret Facebook message" and ending with "don't talk about it".
I was not one of the original few to receive this message but through some investigation journalism, I was able to find the original Facebook message:
Dear XXxxX Undergrad Staff,
I would like you to forward this message to the rest of the people in your section, using some means of communication that is private. Aka secret facebook message or group, and NOT email, text or posting on public social media.
I would like to give some information about the XxXxX Beer Band. The University was contacted by multiple people in the community of XxXxX, and they have explained their distaste for the events being done by this organization. Through that the University is launching an investigation into this group to put an end to it.
I want to make sure the seriousness of this issue is well observed. The police have been mentioned, and the community has suspected the XxXxX of being the culprits of this event. Due to that the media is trying to turn this into a very large story.
Ever since the events of the Ohio State Marching Band
There has been a more watchful eye on marching bands, especially in the XxXxX. The events of the XxXxX Beer Band will be in the newspaper eventually, but it is important that we keep our organization (the XxXxX) out of the news. Please if anyone of you is contacted by a reporter or someone from the news use this statement to point them in the correct direction.
"As to my knowledge there is no association between the XxXxX, and the XxXxX Beer Band. If you have any further questions about this however, feel free to contact, XxXxX, Band Manager, at XxXxX, or XxXxX, Director of the XxXxX, at XxXxX."
We will take it from there, as to make sure you are all protected from any allegations.
If you are involved in the XxXxX Beer Band in anyway below are a few things for your consideration.
I have been in contact with the leaders of this event, and Beer Band is done for the rest of this year, and is being suspended until further notice. Please understand that these allegations are not a laughing matter. The University and the City of XxXxX are looking for the people involved with this group to lay down a proper punishment. Said punishment could be dismissal from the University, and would most likely ruin their career plans.
Please do not attempt to restart this event, as the police have been informed and you will be implicated with all of the charges from the XxXxX Beer Bands past.
Do not make comments about the ICBB on social media, in public conversation, or to anyone else really.
I advise all of the people who are apart of this group to refrain from singing any songs... XxXxX.... or said "Yo Ho", "Gang Bang", or "Fireman" songs. These have been pegged by the University and if overheard will implicate you with this situation.
I would also advise against wearing any Beer Band T-shirts, as this would implicate you as well.
There will be no XxXxX Beer Band events, if that group happens to go to XxXxX either. There is a very close, watchful eye right now, and you will want to be careful.
I hope that none of the people in this organization get brought to the University and that the act of stopping immediately end the investigation.
Unfortunately in the Universities eyes the XxXxX 's name has been tarnished a little bit today. It is important that we move on from here in a good and positive way. Realize that perception rules the world and that the perception of the XxXxX is not the best right now and could be under fire. We need to knuckle down as an organization, work hard and do our best to be a great positive face of this fine University.
What people think matters. If people think that the XxXxX is going out at night and getting drunk, degrading women, and trying to promote a vulgar culture, that will effect all of you in this band. We need to change the perception right now by being committed to doing the best we can as a marching band and putting on the best performances we can at Homecoming.
With all of the Alums coming back, it is a great opportunity to show them that we are still a great positive event on this Campus.
Please remember that this week when we are practicing. I know that I will be high stepping a little higher, talking less, and focusing a little harder knowing that an organization I love is under scrutiny. I hope you all feel that way, and we all get back on the right direction.
I want the conversation to be about how this marching band is the best it has ever been after this weekend, not have it be put in the same conversation as Ohio State. I hope you all feel the same and work hard to make that happen.
Thank you for all of your hard work, and for being leaders on this campus.
It is important to be Proactive not Reactive and I think the Marching Band will grow from this adversity.
Band Manager
Please contact with information above if there are any questions or concerns. Make sure to add the name and section you are in when contacting me, so I know who I am talking to.
Thank you again, and XxXxX!
Sorry for the long post, fucking sucks, but just be careful. Don't wear beer band shirts, don't talk about it.
I am in a unique position because no one within the organization can say anything because they would fear being kicked out. Having been a member of this organization my first few years of school, I know the culture from the inside and the outside. Having said that, the termination of the Beer Band was a massive loss for free speech everywhere.
First, in getting to the specifics, according to the First Amendment Center, "the First Amendment protects a great deal of offensive, obnoxious and repugnant speech" citing the court case Cohen v. California. The lyrics of these songs definitely fit those descriptions. They are raunchy, and I am not here to deny that. I am simply here to say, that the vulgarity of the lyrics does not matter, and the speech is protected. More so, the incident which triggered LM took place outside in a public space. It does not get more simple than that.
LM was a professor, a well educated individual, yet she could not distinguish between her own feelings about the performance and the reality of the situation. This has become all too common on college campuses. It is a place where great minds meet, so you would think that the simple ideas of liberty would pervade. It seems that it does not matter how educated you are; you can still denounce one of our fundamental rights.
There have been talks of the Beer Band starting back up organically and under the radar of the marching band administration, however as of now, there are no signs of the tradition continuing.
