The Paisley club ended their six-game losing run with a 3-1 home win over bottom side Dundee on Saturday to move four points clear of the Taysiders, but not before Buddies veteran assistant Tommy Craig had an altercation with angry supporters apparently unimpressed by the way their side were playing.
The spat ended amicably with Craig inviting two fans for lunch to show them on a club video the philosophy he and Lennon are trying to instil.
The Buddies boss acknowledged the fans' right to voice their opinions, but hopes they recognise that his players are giving their all, regardless of results.
"You hear it every now and again and Tommy handled it well," said Lennon. "They are the paying public, the fans pay to watch the team, but we share the same frustrations and I understand their frustrations.
"We will learn as much from them as they do from us, but the one thing we don't want to hear is boos. The players need every one of us behind them. They are giving their very best for the team when they go out there."

This product claims to have traction so puppies don't slip and can learn to walk. I find it very slippery and puppies are struggling. Also, it wears terribly after the first use it was coming apart.
I was very disappointed in the quality of this whelping pad. I have bought these in the past when they were dark green and used them repeatedly for several years. This one, created alot of fuzz, with its first use, which if injested can cause an intestinal blockage. For one day I thought the Dam had a blockage because she stopped eating and had vomited several times. In the vomit was some of the fuzz from the whelping pad. My Vet advised me on some medication and within a couple of days she was doing better.
I have like using these before because it does keep the pups dry, but I don't know if I will use it again.
For 3 yrs to have this wasn't bad for the price and needed use. I made the mistake which cause the destruction of this whelping pad by leaving beyond the extended time during whelping in the whelping box. Seems with our painted whelping box the fiber from the pad stuck real good to the box. I normally after 1 week from puppies being born remove it and replace whelping box with a different liner. I didn't do this and after 3 weeks it stuck like glue. So it had to be ripped out and thrown away. For the price I paid, it lasted more than I can ask for. I knew one day I would have to get another and later on will be re-ordering this again. I will rate mine use the full 5 stars even though this mishap occurred. Worth the price to keep the whelping box drier.
I love how thin, but warm this pad is. I can easily fit a heating pad under the liner and the heat radiates through, but the rubber backing keeps it in place so there is no danger of puppies ending up directly in touch with the heating pad. I am able to have a warm side and a not-as-warm side in the whelping box. I also love how soft it is and the good grip that even 1-day old puppies have on it. It is not slippery like newspaper.
I am a small in home breeder and was wanting to purchase some whelping pads for our whelping boxes. These seemed a little pricey, but still seemed like a good option if they would hold up over several birthings. My caution to the buyer considering this product would be 2-fold. The first being that when the mamas scratch at these prior to giving birth as they do their nesting, the product gathers a huge amount of fuzz. I have had to pull off the material by the handfuls. I still get lots of fuzz even after the puppies are born and I continue to have it down for them.The second inconvenience is that when you wash the mats, they have the tendency to hold large amounts of water in them so you may get a bath when you take them out of your washer, so beware.

The names of the man and woman who were shot to death on Saturday have been released.
The El Paso County Coroner says the man who died was 22-year-old Daniel Castaneda, and the woman was 24-year-old Camille Root.
The man suspected of killing them, 22-year-old Gary Glen Vigil, remains on the loose.
Residents in the area of Platte and Circle called police after hearing shots fired just before 11 p.m. Saturday. Officers found the bodies in a parking lot on the 2800 block of E. Platte Ave.
Vigil has been described as a 22-year-old Hispanic man, 5-foot-6 and 180 pounds with short black hair and brown eyes. He has multiple tattoos on his chest, neck and arms. Police don't know what kind of vehicle he may be driving.
The El Paso County Coroner's Office has concluded that the cause of death for each was gunshot wounds. This marks the 20th and 21st homicides of 2013.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call police at 444-7000 or Crime Stoppers at 634-STOP.

"Any dispute that is for the sake of Heaven (l'shaim Shamayim) will have a constructive outcome, but one that is not for the sake of Heaven will not have a constructive outcome" [Pirkei Avot 5:20].
There was a poll in which 47 percent of young Jews said the loss of Israel would not be a personal tragedy. But for those of us for whom the loss of Israel would be a personal tragedy, as well as a geo-political disaster (a personal disaster but not a theological disaster any more than were the centuries of Egyptian slavery, the centuries of exile, the Shoah the destruction of the Temples, or the Job-like misfortunes of the innocent), how could the magnitude of Israel's troubles, existential threats and brink of war not get some of us riled up?
As someone who believes that our spiritual integrity as a people will have some say in the outcome of history, it's important to always step back, cool off, and remember that if our disagreements are for the sake of Heaven then we ought to keep track of our friendships and sense of family with those with whom we disagree, especially with those who disagree with us the most.
In light of recent events, I've written more than a few critical items about the Jewish left lately, and have been exchanging some private e-mails with Tikkun's editor, Rabbi Michael Lerner, who is very far left indeed. I disagree with Michael on just about everything except the day of the week. And yet, I know that he has a good Jewish soul, he's a wonderful person to share a Shabbos table with, I enjoy hearing him sing Zemirot,and hearing about Michael's good works and about his family, particularly his beloved son, a son that Michael allowed to join the Israeli army, several years ago.
I say "allowed" because of an Israeli legality meant tthat his son's enlistment could not have have happened without Michael's signed consent. He caught plenty of lightning from people on the far left because of it.
When Michael's home was horribly vandalized several weeks ago, seemingly by political opponents lacking all decency, I thought of him on Shabbos and how for all of Michael's unrelenting criticism of one Israeli government after another, most people don't know that he bravely signed the consent allowing his son to become an Israeli soldier because Michael profoundly loves God, Israel and the Jewish people.
For all I disagree with him, all that certainly qualifies him as a member of the loyal opposition and someone who can be part of a conversation for the sake of Heaven..
Too many Jewish critics of Israel don't qualify. American Fake Jews should have no part of the conversation -- as Jews. They can as Americans but not as Jews. I'm a Russian as much as Fake Jews are Jewish. I love Russian literature and music, my grandparents were from Russia, but that doesn't give me the right to give my special opinon on Chechnya as if I'm from Moscow, when I'm not, when there's nothing Russian about my life. It would be a therapist's delight if I, with nothing Russian about me, started an organization called "R Street" to tell Russians what to do by virtue of my Russian descent.
And American Fake Jews, the kind for whom Israel's destruction would not be a personal tragedy, Jews who are only Jewish because of relatives, Jews who say that Israel embarasses them, Jews so removed that a private detective could tail them for six weeks and find no evidence of them being Jewish at all, it only seems peculiar and hardly serious for them to criticize Israel by virtue of their Jewish descent and disconnection. The stakes are too serious to indulge those who are simply flukes of anscestry, dabblers and dilettantes when the mood strikes and ducking for cover when the world condemns.
But serious Jews who are immersed and invested in Jewish life, Jews who take an active responsibility for Jewish survival and destiny, for better or worse, can and must talk about Israel for the sake of Heaven, anytime.
Despite our vast and considerable political -- and theological -- disagreements, all of them passionate, Michael called this morning to ask if he could reprint some of my personal e-mails and recent Route 17 blogs (basically what I told him by e-mail, most recently that authentic humanitarians should insist on freedom or at least treatment and visitations -- according to the Geneva accords -- for Gilad Shalit. There is no reason that the left and the right can't agree on that, placing it higher up on the agenda).
Michael prefaced the Tikkun mailing with this gracious note to his readers, explaining that these opinions regarding Israel were from "Jonathan Mark, who, incidentally, is someone I love personally, has a great deal of integrity and intelligence and love of the Jewish people and Judaism and of humanity, even though I totally reject his political worldview. It remains important to me that I and we be able to affirm the humanity of others with whom we strongly disagree, and, as in the case of Jonathan Mark, [that when we] come upon a real mensch, a fully decent and good human being, that we recognize her/him even as we vigorously challenge his or her ideas. [In these postings] Jonathan is responding to a note I sent him in which I acknowledged that we should also continue to mention freeing Gilad Shalit, but in which I mentioned that that should be part of an exchange to free all Palestinian prisoners as well."
Hey, wait a second, what's with the "her/him?"
More important, there's a big difference between Shalit, a prisoner of war, a uniformed soldier who himself observed the rules of war, and non-uniformed terrorists who don't observe any of the rules of war, and who after being released from Israeli prisons will rejoin terrorist cells and kill again. Several hundred Israelis have died at the hands of terrorists who were released from Israeli prisons.
Here's something we agree on: That in a true peace (meaning everyone is acting peacefully or else the peace process is a total fraud), settlers, in their current communities, should be allowed to remain in Judea and Samaria as peaceful non-Arab citizens under the Palestinian flag, just as Arabs that are already living in Israel should be allowed to remain as peaceful non-Jewish citizens under the Israeli flag.
In peace, no one should be threatened with transfer -- neither Arabs in Israel, nor Jews in the future Palestine.
May every one of our people's agreements and disagreements always be for the sake of Heaven, may we be blessed to maintain our friendships, to remind ourselves about all the varied things in our lives about which we do agree and share pleasure, and may all of our articles, blogs and conversations about Israel, politics -- and anything else -- always be for the sake of Heaven, for a constructive outcome.
As Michael linked to Route 17, here's are some links to Tikkun Daily, Lerner's Network of Spiritual Progressives, and the current issue of Tikkun. Much -- but not all -- that you might find at the end of these links are things that I strongly disagree with, and as Michael said, "we must vigorously challenege" those ideas that -- from my perspective -- might threaten not only Israel but the United States, no less.
But since we're talking "for the sake of Heaven," here's a clip from Days of Heaven, a second clip here, and a very holy song by Tom Waits, sung by Johnny Cash. down there by the train, going slow.

Child safety comes firstAugust 04,2014Child safety
comes first
My name is Anissa DeLauri, and Im running for state Senate. Over the next few months, I will be submitting letters to the editor highlighting issues I feel strongly about.
Todays topic is the Department for Children and Families. I have been a child-care provider for 19 years. I am a protective services provider and have had several children in my program that were in DCF custody. The case managers I have met over the years are not the evil people that they have been made out to be by the media. They work long hours, have huge caseloads, and try their best to do what is right for the child.
Unfortunately, in some cases, the way the rules are set up they have to do things they know in their heart are not the best thing for the child. They have to stay within the guidelines and rules set forth by the state on how these cases will be handled. What needs to change is the communication between departments, the caseloads and the protocols they have to follow.
This is one topic that will generate lots of emotions on both sides. The one thing that has to be first on everyones list is the childs well-being. The child should always come first.

Vermonter is close to the front on gun control
BARRE A former Barre woman is in the center of the national gun debate, living one street away from the home of Sandy Hook, Conn., shooter Adam Lanza and working to organize supporters of increased gun control.
Po Murray was born in South Korea but moved to Plainfield and then Barre as a youngster. She graduated from Spaulding High School in 1985 and went on to the University of Vermont. She and her husband moved to Connecticut because, she said, they wanted to be near a city but were afraid to live in New York.
Her four children, now 11 to 18 years old, all went to Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, the community where Lanza killed 27 others, including 20 young children, in December.
Murray said that tragedy compelled her to do something about gun violence. A self-described news junkie, she said she had seen an increase in mass shootings and was angry with herself for not speaking up about gun violence until it hit close to home.
In her effort to do something, Murray became a vice chairwoman of the Newtown Action Alliance, a group of local residents who are trying to partner with other organizations working toward the same goal.
Murray said the group supports Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloys recent proposal on gun control, which called for requiring background checks in all gun sales, strengthening the states existing assault weapons ban, banning ammunition magazines holding more than 10 rounds, promoting secure gun storage and improving the enforcement of existing laws.
She said the group also supports Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthals proposal for background checks on those looking to buy ammunition.
A Quinnipiac poll last week found that 93 percent of those queried in Connecticut support universal background checks for gun sales, including 89 percent of voters in households where there are guns.
To accomplish its goals and get the legislation it wants nationally, Murray said, her group is looking for other people and groups around the country that feel the same way it does. She encourages anyone in support of more gun control to contact her group and write to their local, state and federal representatives to let them know how their constituents feel.
Murrays group is not without its detractors. She said Newtown is the home of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the firearms industry trade association, which hosts one of largest gun shows in the country. She said it and the National Rifle Association are a well-oiled machine and get supporters to meetings and rallies with ease.
To those arguing against stricter gun legislation because it would supposedly infringe on Second Amendment rights, Murray said her group is not trying to take peoples guns away. She said she learned to shoot when she was in sixth grade and that her husband comes from a family of hunters.
She said she supports hunting and the right to protection but is not sure anyone needs the kind of weapon used by Lanza, the Bushmaster AR-15. The Hartford Courant reported last week that Lanza fired 152 shots in five minutes.

Don't let holiday stress drag you down
Published: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 11:41 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, November 16, 2012 at 11:41 a.m.
Enjoy the holidays. Or else!
A holistic approach to the holidays
The holidays can too easily become a time of juggling instead of enjoying, said Toni Schklar, manager and practitioner at St. Elizabeth Healthcare Holistic Health Center in Fort Thomas, Ohio. She says you can reduce stress and have the energy to participate in the holidays with pleasure.
1. Ask family members to put into writing the things they enjoy most about the holidays. Post everyone's list where it can be easily seen. Then, put your energy into these things and let go of the rest.
2. Talk about past holidays. What worked? What didn't? Start new traditions. Forget about the old ones that are long on work and short on real meaning.
3. Do something special for someone in need. This makes for a memorable project and most likely will leave you feeling much better than any party, decorating challenge or gift exchange.
4. Do less, spend less. Rest more, enjoy more.
5. Take care of yourself. Get enough sleep. Eat when you're hungry; stop when you're full. Eat whatever you love, but in moderation. If a gift of fruitcake doesn't look appealing, don't eat it!
6. Avoid alcohol or limit it to one drink a day.
7. Find a way, every day, to get at least a 15-minute session of brisk exercise. It will help keep your waistline in check, give you more energy, keep your mind clear and reduce stress.
8. Find enough time alone; time with spouse, children or those closest to you; and time with other people, to enjoy the holidays with friends, folks at work or in community activities.
9. Promise you'll take a holiday from the life-draining "Five C's" — criticizing, comparing, complaining, competing and correcting others. Spend more time complimenting others and caring for those in need.
10. Don't fight it. If you simply "hate the holidays" to the point of getting depressed, consider a vacation and bypass the whole affair this year.
The pressure to make a perfect meal, buy the right present and say yes to every party invitation can and often does make the holidays the most stressful time of the year.
"There are so many expectations to have a good time, so many commercials telling us what to buy the kids, so many traditions that have to happen," says Toni Schklar, manager at St. Elizabeth Healthcare's Holistic Health Center in Fort Thomas, Ohio. "The holidays become an animal instead of something we can enjoy," she said.
"Because we think traditions must be maintained, we hesitate to offer up alternatives. It takes somebody with courage to do that."
The stress of maintaining traditions is probably worst for people who have had their lives disrupted recently, says Rebekah Pershing, psychologist with Cincinnati's Bethesda Family Practice Center.
"They've lost a job or they have a new job. They've lost a family member or have become empty-nesters," she says. "The holidays are so much about traditions that these major changes can create this vacuum, this void that increases their stress level."
People grieving for a lost loved one are particularly susceptible to stress. The holidays create what Pershing calls a "grief bubble," a short period of time during which things such as songs or scents can bring back memories of who has been lost.
"Then it all comes back to you, and it's raw."
Pershing recommends people practice "positive psychology" during this stressful season. Thinking positively, being charitable, eating well, exercising and getting enough quality sleep are all part of practicing positive psychology.
Non-natives, singles or childless couples can sense stress this time of year, especially in family-oriented cities where there are long-established traditions. Pershing recommends they form "chosen families" to gather with or hold "orphan dinners" as ways to make their own holiday traditions.
And people need to lower their expectations, Pershing said. "The holidays are not necessarily going to live up to what they were when you were 5. And it's OK for it not to be like that," she says.
People also should remind themselves that there is light at the end of the holiday tunnel. There is a Jan. 1. "The good thing about holiday stress is that it's predictable," Schklar says. "We know when it will begin and end."

You may not make much of it at the time, but it turns out that most Canadian retailers are recording your personal information.
A new survey for Ottawa's privacy commissioner finds that 97 percent of Canadian companies surveyed last year, collected your personal data including your name, address and phone number. That's up from 63 percent in 2007.
When it comes to dealing with possible security breaches like the "heartbleed bug", only half of the businesses said they were concerned.
The report states that Canadian businesses are becoming less worried about data breaches that involve customer information.
4 percent of the companies who took part in the survey say they needed to see a warrant before handing over personal data belonging to their customers. Out of that group, half say they gave the information away without any documentation.
Another 13 percent say they hand over customer personal data 'some of the time'.
The survey was conducted by Phoenix Strategic Perspectives in November of 2013.
1,006 companies across Canada took part in the survey.

I thought I was ordering from the Michael Kors outlet store, like Coach has outlet stores. I didn't go over the site, from the pictures it looked legitimate. I found a 300$ purse for $80, ordered it and sat back. I got 3 emails, 1 welcoming me to the Michael Kors site, the 2nd about my account and then a 3rd email from a cross country pay. Alarmed, I read an email explaining to me the amount for the purse would be more than stated on the website. Right away I tried to contact them to cancel this order, but there was no contact information. I looked for reviews/scam alerts, anything on this website, but there was nothing, it was to new.
They hadn't even set up FAQ or anything yet! I called my bank right away and told them what was going on and they verified the card had been charged more, about $86.00 and it would go through. To be safe, I canceled that card. From what I can tell, it's the same company in China sending imposter merchandise that looks nothing like what they are advertising. I have not yet received anything and if by chance I receive anything at all, this is what I expect. All attempts to contact anyone from either of these emails has gone unacknowledged. Lesson learned! They do not sell Michael Kors at these prices.

A natural gas drilling site sits against the mountains near the small northwest Colorado community of Meeker in this photograph taken on Friday, Oct. 26, 2007. A new report predicts that northwest Colorado's population could double to about 417,000 over the next 30 years because of the energy boom and the number of gas wells could soar to more than 50,000. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski)
Denver (AP) - Environmental groups challenging a federal plan to increase drilling on western Colorado's Roan Plateau say the same air-quality analysis found lacking in oil and gas leases offered in Utah was used to forecast potential impacts of energy development on the plateau.
The groups filed an addition Wednesday to their federal lawsuit saying the Interior Department should look closer at air-quality issues on the Roan Plateau as it has recommended doing with the leases in Utah.
Interior Secretary Ken Salazar withdrew 77 oil and gas leases approved late last year by the Bush Administration near some national parks in Utah. The agency will review the leases.
The challenge to the Roan Plateau plan claims the analysis of the potential impact of development was inadequate.

Smush-it was working fine until I moved the media files from the default wp-content directory to a subfolder which is in the same level as that of root directory where wordpress is installed.
I did so to ensure that the static content is served from a cookieless subdomain. Now everytime i try to smush an image, i get the following error:
../img/* must be within the content directory (../blog/wp-content)
From the code of the plugin - http://plugins.svn.wordpress.org/wp-smushit/trunk/wp-smushit.php, it is evident that there is a condition check. Can we get rid of this? Is there an alternate solution to make it work for subdomains?

WLAN 802.11ac Test and Design
WLAN technology 802.11ac, builds on 802.11n with a wider RF bandwidth (up to 160 MHz), MIMO and high density 256QAM modulation. The end result is that WLAN 802.11ac provides high throughput of 1 Gbps below 6 GHz for multiple stations. Building on 802.11ac is the new 802.11ax standard with draft specification available January 2016. It is predicted to have a top speed of 10 Gbit/s. To achieve this, there is investigation into all the technologies including OFDM, OFDMA, MU-MIMO, higher order modulation and Overlapping Basic Service Sets (OBSS) interference handling.
Keysight's 802.11 software allows engineers to simulate, view and troubleshoot all 802.11 modulation formats, from BPSK up to 256QAM, implemented in components and receivers. For even greater flexibility, the software supports all signal bandwidths, including 20, 40, 80 and 160 MHz, and up to 8x8 MIMO. Using the 89600B VSA 802.11 software, engineers gain greater insight into their next-generation 802.11 WLAN chips and devices, regardless of the 802.11 format implemented.

Keywords: MAGICAL SETTING, INVITING, COMFORTABLE. LARGE, SPACIOUS ROOMS. THIS IS NOT A FUNKY CABIN. FIRST CLASS PROPERTY.
I built the home myself starting in 1999 when I retired, and finished it in 2002. With great attention to detail, I feel that a superior quality home was the result. It has always been my dream to have a home near the Tetons and the fishing grounds I love. We (my wife and I), have spent many wonderful summer and fall months here. We hope you will love and enjoy our place as much as we do.
Dennis purchased this house in 2002
Getting up in the morning, turning on the gas fireplace to take the chill off (and add a little ambiance), preparing coffee and watching the morning news. Then I go outside and sit on the front porch, finishing my coffee and enjoying the quiet, drinking in nature and planning my day.
Our family including our kids (ages 8, 7 and 6) stayed in the wonderful house for 10 days at the beginning of the summer holidays. The house is huge, spacious, clean and so comfortable that we didn't really want to explore the rest of Wyoming! It has everything you need in a vacation rental and more. We used the hot tub quite a lot which is located in the back of the house in a covered patio away from the mosquitos. Having tons of laundry with the kids, having the washer and dryer right next to the kitchen on the main floor was very convenient for us. It was cool in June so we used the fireplace on the main floor a lot too. The property was huge which was so much fun for the kids to explore in fact, they made a good friend, a chocolate brown lab which they named "Teton" that they would play with every morning and some evenings.
It was also within walking distance to Heart Six Ranch with a variety of activities including horse riding, river floats and within walking distance Buffalo Valley Cafe.
I would highly recommend this place. Lots of room. We could have invited another couple of families and still be very comfortable.
This home was simply the best! First off, the home was beautiful, clean, spacious, and well-appointed. Though the photos on this website do a good job of showing the rooms, somehow it all adds up to more than the sum of the parts, probably due to the how well the spaces flow together. Secondly, the location was wonderfully scenic, yet very close to Grand Teton Natl Park and not too far from Yellowstone (head N) and Jackson (head S).
Our family loved horseback riding at the nearby Heart Six ranch, relaxing in the hot tub morning and/or night, and generally feeling very pampered. The friendly neighbor dog was a big hit with our youngest child. A well-stocked pantry filled in a few holes in our meals, and the Frisbee golf was a nice outdoor activity. The week went by too quickly!
This home was a perfect location for our trip to Grand Teton NP and Yellowstone NP. The area is quiet and peaceful. The home is very clean, comfortable, and cozy. The location worked out very well for our day trips to yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Jackson. Grand Teton and Jackson are close enough for half day trips. Yellowstone is a full day trip, but we were able to see everything we wanted to see on our trips to yellowstone.
Our kids loved sharing the bunk bedroom downstairs. All three of them had a lot of fun playing in there during our downtime.
We would definitely visit this home again on future trips to this area!
We stayed a week this summer (2011) and it was absolutely perfect. The cabin is top-notch and our families are pretty picky about these kinds of things. The area is great - very close to Teton and not far off from Yellowstone. The Buffalo Creek Cafe down the street was really fun for our families to visit. Our kids loved everything - from the bunk beds to the hot tub to the most friendly chocolate lab who lives nearby and would play with them. Awesome! My only suggestion would be to bring a few camping chairs if you have them. The dining room seats six and if you have a bigger party, it might help to have a few extra chairs. You can also use those chairs out on the back screened-in porch. The owner and his agent were very friendly and easy to work with. They really care about this property and it shows. The property is also for sale - wish I had an extra $1 million around to buy it!
This home is immaculate!! There is more than enough room for everyone. (We had 11 in our group). We had everything we could have possibly needed and then some. The owner & the caretaker were wonderful. They made sure everything was perfect. They offered detailed info about any of the attractions that we were interested in, they provided a very good map that would save us driving time and information about restaurants, stores, fishing, hiking, you name it and we knew about it thanks to them. Midweek the caretaker even came in and cleaned up for us. Wildlife was all around us, Moose, Antelope, Bison, Elk & Bears. They also provided us with plenty of bug spray and bear spray. (We never needed the bear spray). This is one of the most beautiful places that we've been and we will definetly be back. We did not have one complaint the entire time we were there. You will NOT be disappointed!
We could not have found a more excellent place for our family vacation. The pictures and description do not do this property justice! Would recommend to anyone wanting a great cabin in a beautiful location close to Yellowstone and Grand Teton.
Additional Info: 5.1 miles from Moran Post Office off of Buffalo Valley Road.

Billington Fellowship – Application
By Flavia Gasbarri | aprile 6, 2016
Billington Fellowship
Type: Fellowship
Mar 29, 2016 to May 20, 2016
Deadline: May 20, 2016
The Kennan Institute seeks applicants from scholars who have received their Ph.D. within the past 10 years for the newly established Billington Fellowship to conduct research on Russian history and culture. The Billington Fellowship was established in 2016 in tribute to the co-founder of the Kennan Institute, Director Emeritus of the Wilson Center, and Librarian Emeritus of Congress, James H. Billington. Dr. Billington has made enduring contributions to the field of Russian Studies, and in our nation's ability to understand and maintain bridges of dialogue with the Russian people. He is not only the author of The Icon and the Axe (1966), Fire in the Minds of Men (1980), and Russia in Search of Itself (2004), among other seminal works; he is the visionary behind the Open World Leadership Center, which has facilitated the travel of over 24,000 individuals from Eurasia to the United States to meet with members of Congress and visit across the United States.
The Billington Fellow will be based at the Wilson Center's Kennan Institute in Washington, D.C. for a nine-month term (one academic year). Fellows will receive access to the Library of Congress, National Archives, and policy research centers in Washington, D.C., as well as the opportunity to meet with key experts and officials at the State Department, USAID, Department of Defense, and Congress. While conducting research, the Billington Fellow will be expected to actively participate in discussions with the policy and academic communities. These discussions can be in the form of speaking engagements at the Wilson Center and potentially outside of Washington D.C., as well as attending meetings, conferences, and other activities organized by the Kennan Institute and the Wilson Center. Upon completion of the fellowship, the Billington Fellow will join our growing list of alumni, for whom the Kennan Institute will continue to offer opportunities for collaboration and engagement.
Applicants for the Billington Fellowship must hold a Ph.D. awarded within the past 10 years. Preference will be given to proposed research in the fields of Russian history and culture. There is no citizenship restriction on this grant.
The Billington Fellowship offers a monthly stipend of $3,500, research facilities, a research intern, and computer access. Fellows are required to be in residence at the Kennan Institute, Wilson Center in Washington, D.C. for the duration of the grant. Awardees are expected to begin their appointments within six months of accepting the fellowship.
The deadline for this competition is May 20, 2016. To apply, please complete the attached application form according to the instructions and submit by email to: email@example.com
Please note that the application form calls for two letters of recommendation for the proposed research. Instructions for obtaining and sending reference letters are on the application form.
The Billington Fellowship is made possible through generous private support to the Billington Initiative at the Kennan Institute.

Call for paper – The Smaller European Powers and China in the Cold War, 1949-1989
By Flavia Gasbarri | gennaio 20, 2016
Call for Papers
The Smaller European Powers and China in the Cold War, 1949-1989
18-19 November 2016, University of Lausanne
Organizers: Sandra Bott, Claude Hauser, Janick Marina Schaufelbuehl, Marco Wyss
Institute of Political, Historical and International Studies | History Department, University of Lausanne Department of History and Politics, University of Chichester | Department of Contemporary History, University of Fribourg
This international conference aims to examine the policies of the smaller European powers towards China – and vice versa – during the Cold War. Thereby it focuses, on the European side, on both Western and Eastern Europe – regardless of whether a country was part of the NATO or the Warsaw Pact. Meanwhile, on the Chinese side, the conference proposes to include both Chinas, namely the People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China (RoC). While this should allow for the analysis of different relational constellations, the chronological framework – that ranges from the Communist victory in China in 1949 to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Tiananmen Square uprising in 1989 – should enable us to identify policy shifts and patterns.
With the establishment of the PRC and, especially, its direct confrontation with the United States during the Korean War from 1950 to 1953, the Cold War had definitely arrived in East Asia, and China henceforth became a major actor in the global East-West rivalry. Yet research on China's Cold War has largely focused on Sino-US and Sino-Soviet relations, or on China's engagements in the Third World. As for Europe's interaction with China during this period, the role played by the major Western European powers – Britain, France, and the Federal Republic of Germany – has so far been privileged. This conference, by contrast, intends to bring the smaller European powers into the global picture, by analysing their position towards and role within the policies of both the PRC and RoC. The smaller European nations, not as directly or as extensively involved in big power relations, had some – albeit often limited – leeway in designing an independent foreign policy toward China. The question thus arises whether alternative diplomatic and/or cultural ties were established between these nations and China, whether trade and investment became more intense or on the contrary diminished, or if security relations took on distinctive contours. The extent to which Eastern European states forged their policies according to Moscow's will is one of the problems addressed by this conference, as is the question of whether smaller European powers on the other side of the Iron Curtain simply followed in the footsteps of London or Paris or developed their own independent foreign policy toward Beijing or Taipei. While there has been sporadic and punctual research on the relationship of smaller European powers with China, our aim is to bring both early career and established researchers together to offer a broader and, especially, comparative analysis.
The organisers welcome innovative proposals that reflect on the political incentives and challenges that influenced the foreign policies and strategies of the lesser Western and Eastern European powers towards China – and vice versa – and situate them in the larger context of the global Cold War. Papers that focus not only on diplomatic sources, but also include sources from economic, political, social, and cultural interest groups and organisations, are particularly welcome. Interactions with Beijing and Taipei are broadly defined, in order to allow for an understanding of the mutual and multifaceted interests that contributed to the development of relations of various kinds: economic, military, political, and cultural exchanges, contacts, and cooperation; know-how and technology transfers.
Possible topics could, for instance, include:
- Political, economic and security ties
- Trade and development
- Education, science, and technology
- Cultural and ideological dimensions and exchanges
- Arms transfers, military assistance, and conflict/war
Brief proposals (350 words max.), accompanied by a short CV, should be sent to Marco Wyss (firstname.lastname@example.com) by 31 March 2016. The conference language is English. The selected participants will be informed by the end of April. Selected papers will form the basis of a peer-reviewed publication.

2016 SHAFR Summer Institute in the Netherlands- "Culture, Propaganda, and Intelligence in Foreign Relations"
By Flavia Gasbarri | dicembre 14, 2015
"Culture, Propaganda, and Intelligence in Foreign Relations"
The Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations (SHAFR), in partnership with the Transatlantic Studies Association (TSA), invites proposals for the SHAFR Summer Institute, to be held June 27 to July 2 at the University of Leiden, the Netherlands. The Institute will be timed so that participants may attend both the annual SHAFR conference in San Diego and the TSA conference at the University of Plymouth (UK). Participants are strongly encouraged (but not required) to attend one or both conferences, and the TSA conference fee will be waived for Institute participants.
The Institute will focus on the use of propaganda, intelligence, and culture as lenses through which to reconsider broader approaches to international and transnational history. Emphasizing the role of government security and information agencies, state-private networks, and non-state and transnational actors, the institute will explore the interconnectedness of public and private, domestic and international, state and non-state. Participants will work with each other and the organizers in a series of research workshops to refine and enhance the analytical framework of a significant research project, ideally (but not exclusively) oriented toward publication of a first book. In addition, the Institute will include professional development sessions and an active-learning pedagogical workshop on the theme of historical memory that will take place at a local site of historical significance.
Objectives of the Institute include: (1) enhance the analytical complexity of on-going research; (2) internationalize SHAFR by building connections between American, European, and other international scholars; (3) promote collaborative international and transnational research networks; (4) share knowledge, archival sources, and research techniques in intelligence and propaganda history.
The Institute is designed for advanced graduate students and early career faculty members in history from around the world, with roughly half the participants coming from North America. All sessions and readings will be in English. Participants will be expected to do some collaborative online work prior to the Institute, and submit a draft chapter-length portion of their research projects by March 15, 2016. Each participant will be provided free accommodation and a stipend sufficient to offset major travel expenses. In addition, the TSA conference fee will be waived for Institute participants.
The deadline for applications is January 10, 2016. Applications should include the following as a single PDF file: one-page curriculum vitae; one-page abstract of the research project to be presented at the Institute, including a brief description of the significance of the project and its source base; and a cover page listing current contact information, institutional affiliation, title of proposed research project, and short answers to the following questions: (1) What are your publication plans for your research project, and what is a realistic timeline for completion? (2) What journal article or book chapter had the greatest impact on your research interests, methods, or ideas? Briefly explain, and provide a complete citation. Please do not cite the Institute organizers. (3) Optional: How will you combine your travel to this Institute with archival research in Europe or participation at the TSA conference? (4) Optional: applicants who can contribute their own funding to subsidize their participation in the Institute should identify the funding source and amount. Applicants should send these materials as a single PDF file to: email@example.com (link sends e-mail). A letter of recommendation should also be sent by the recommender (typically dissertation advisor) directly to this email address. Questions about the institute are welcome and may be directed to the email address above.
The Institute will be led by Kenneth Osgood (Colorado School of Mines), J. Simon Rofe (SOAS, University of London), Giles Scott-Smith (University of Leiden), and Hugh Wilford (California State University, Long Beach).

Transnational and Global Histories of Latin America's Revolutionary Left – Call for Papers
By Flavia Gasbarri | giugno 23, 2015
Transnational and Global Histories of Latin America's Revolutionary Left
Call for Papers
London & Mexico City, 2016
The LSE and the Instituto Mora are issuing calls for papers for two related international workshops that they are organising in 2016. Funded by the British Academy's Newton Mobility Fund, taking advantage of combined research expertise at both institutions, and linked to the established New Left Network led by Alberto Martín Álvarez and Eduardo Rey, the workshops aim to explore different perspectives on Latin America's Revolutionary Left. Although both workshops are part of the same broader project to examine global and transnational histories of Latin America's Revolutionary Left (otherwise known as the New Left of the Armed Left), it is anticipated that proposals will be made to one workshop or the other rather than both. Details of the workshops and the themes they wish to explore are as follows:
LSE, LONDON, 26-27 February 2016
Our knowledge of Latin America's Revolutionary Left after the Cuban Revolution in 1959 is growing. New archives, oral histories and published testimonies have driven history forward and encouraged new research. However, we still know relatively little about the global dimensions of the Revolutionary Left or New Left in Latin America. We know that revolutionary left-wing militants shared feelings of solidarity, collective belonging and common purpose across continents. Members of Latin America's Revolutionary Left also travelled to Europe (East and West), Africa, Asia, and North America, where they found inspiration, and participated in revolutionary developments. We also know that Latin America's Revolutionary Left received moral, intellectual, cultural and financial support from counterparts and sympathetic groups abroad. Yet where and how these relationships and networks originated, how they functioned and with what consequences is less clear.
With the aim of providing a forum for discussion and showcasing new research, this international workshop will explore the relationships that Latin American revolutionaries forged across continents in the late twentieth century. By focusing on revolutionary networks and transnational relationships between Latin America, Europe, Africa, Asia and North America, the workshop will broaden our collective understanding of the global Cold War. Topics of particular interest include:
· Third World revolutionary networks between Latin America, Africa and Asia
· Latin America's Revolutionary Left in Europe
· Geographies, contact zones and cities of revolutionary encounter
· Legitimization and de-legitimization of revolutionary violence
· Solidarity and exile
INSTITUTO MORA, MEXICO DF, 9-10 June 2016
Latin American left-wing armed organisations shared repertoires of action, strategies, symbols and ideologies. Socialism, revolution and armed struggle became identities of these groups, which rose to become important political actors during the last decades of the 20th century. Despite strong political and ideological similarities between left-wing organisations, our understanding of the processes of construction and diffusion of this "intellectual culture of revolution" in Latin America is nevertheless still limited. Some authors (Colburn) ascribe the diffusion of ideas regarding radical change in the Global South to the predominant role of local revolutionary intellectuals who studied in European or North American universities. However, the evidence coming from Latin America appears to point to a much more complex panorama. The culture of revolution was constituted in each country as an amalgamation between local revolutionary traditions and global intellectual influences. Meanwhile, the direct interaction between left-wing organisations and activists from different countries appears to have been of fundamental importance in the construction of a transnational imagined community of global scope. Additionally, beyond the influence of concrete political ideologies, the construction of left-wing political identities was closely linked to specific currents of political mobilisation that arose both as a result of national cycles of protest and because of a particular international context marked by the Cuban Revolution and the Vietnam War, among other globally historic events. All of which points to the need for adopting a transnational perspective when studying Latin America's revolutionary culture in the second half of the 20th century. The objective of this workshop is precisely to open up space for discussion and reflection on this topic. We are therefore calling for proposals for papers that concentrate on the following themes:
· Revolutionary ideology, its origins, sources and influences
· Universities and the intellectual culture of revolution
· Students and revolutionary movements
· The creation and diffusion of repertoires of action among the armed left
· Processes of left-wing political identity construction
Those interested in taking part in either workshop should send a 1 page proposal in either Spanish or English and a brief academic CV to those leading the project: Dr Tanya Harmer (firstname.lastname@example.com) and Alberto Martín Álvarez (email@example.com) by 3 July 2015.

What I think we forget–or worse, never even realized—is the extreme privilege often inherent in "digital literacy." Yes, much of the Internet is free.

Knowing how to tell a troll from a serious thinker, spotting linkbait, understanding a meme, cross checking articles against each other, even posting a comment to disagree with something–these are skills.
