Telford, PA (PressExposure) August 09, 2009 -- Let me tell you this. Finding the perfect marketing guru or expert to tell you what to do to market your business is just plain difficult. It is not impossible, but it sure is tricky and easier said than done.
What with over hundreds of "experts" trying to make themselves up as important and know what they are talking about. Nowadays, it is just not that easy to find the right one that really delivers on his or her word. The Internet also had not made it easy. Everybody can easily mount a working and attractive website and say that they are marketing experts.
Anybody can even say that they are the best in marketing and will have the audacity to tell you that they can help you become successful just like them. Trust me. There are a lot out there. Some of them proved to be reliable and some were really great. However, there are still many who can put you out of business as quickly as you can say grandfather.
Let us take for instance custom brochure printing. I will say that a lot of online and offline brochures printing companies can tell you that they can provide you with the best collaterals not only on this side of earth but the whole world as well.
They can even tell you that they are the most cost efficient custom brochure printing provider when it comes to the price. In addition, they have all the details that you need to know when you go to their website. But lo and behold! When you have your brochures printing in your hand, you finally realize that that is not what you expect. All the promises that were given you suddenly puff into smoke. In addition, your "guru" can only shrug his or her shoulder because you already paid him or her anyway.
It takes a lot of diligence and care on your part to find the best marketing expert that can work according to what you need. To help you find the right fit, here are some tips you can use to find the marketing expert that would really help you become successful.
1. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Do not get swayed with nifty promises that you know for a fact is very hard to deliver. Take everything with a grain of salt and find all the information you need before you come to a decision.
2. Do not rely on gut feeling. Always do your research before you make a decision. Sometimes, decisions based on gut reaction can cause more harm than good. Support the feeling in your gut with concrete details and you can have a reliable result after.
3. Ask a lot of questions. Do not be confident with just one answer. The only way you can find out the truth is if you ask questions until you get to the bottom of things. 4. Look for testimonials. If other people can vouch for the company's authenticity then you found yourself a good marketing expert.
5. And then make sure that the testimonials are actually backed by profits and money. Again, do not rely on everything at face value. Dig deeper for information that can help you make a decision.
Understanding full well your needs and the expert that you are looking for will help you find the right fit that will definitely make you successful in your business.

This outlines the struggle within Momentum very well, it is well worth a read for that.
But then, having played the blame squarely on Lansman and Corbyn it draws the ridiculous conclusion that the opposition should not be, critically and without illusions, supported against them here because they are equally as bad (they are not) and everyone should leave the Labour party and join the SEP (they will not). On that logic it would be better if Lansman managed to snuff out democracy entirety in Momentum and defeat his opponents who want to establish democratic structures because then they would clearly see the SEP was right all along and fighting inside the Labour party was a waste of time and energy.

Behind the faction fight in the UK's pro-Corbyn Momentum movement, as Exposed by the World Socialist Web Site.
Trotskyism (US only)
Behind the faction fight in the UK's pro-Corbyn Momentum movement
By Chris Marsden
The headlines prompted by the December 3 National Committee of Momentum were uniform in character. The pro-Jeremy Corbyn pressure group, which had generally been portrayed as a threat to Labour's electoral prospects, made up of "wreckers" who want to purge the party's "sensible" right wing, was rebranded as a precious political jewel to be protected from a "Trotskyist" takeover.
The entire presentation is a tissue of lies.
The conflict within Momentum is between a bureaucratic cabal at the core of Corbyn's leadership team, many of whom are indeed Stalinists, and representatives of various pseudo-left groups who are bitterly opposed to Trotskyism and who have no intention of breaking with either Corbyn or the Labour Party.
The moves now being made within Momentum to close off all genuine debate and insist on absolute loyalty to Labour should spur those workers and youth who looked to it to provide a socialist alternative to carefully study the SEP statement.
The Dictator, the Revolution, the Machine. A Political Account of Joseph Stalin Tony McKenna. A Review.
The Dictator, the Revolution, the Machine. A Political Account of Joseph Stalin Tony McKenna. Sussex Academic Press.
"I recently read an interview featuring a cultural commentator of the left. Alongside the interview a photo appeared of this individual against a backdrop which featured an image of Joseph Stalin." In the Preface to The Dictator the Revolution, the Machine, Tony McKenna observes in this, not uncommon, gesture, a "certain wry sympathy for Stalin's political endeavours." The Chair of no less than the Stop the War Coalition, Andrew Murray, has expressed such empathy on many occasions. For these people Stalin's title of Generalissimo and Hero of the Soviet Union, awarded in June 1945, was due recognition for a leader prepared to "get his hands dirty" in defence of the USSR. This judgement, McKenna states, with appropriate severity, "does a great disservice to the millions Stalin had murdered" (Page xi).
This is a study that attempts to explain the "objective trajectory of Stalinism" in Marxist terms, and the course of a life that is full of "terrible darkness". Its premise is that the original form of "the Soviet democracy remains the first form of democracy in human history which was not premised on some manner of class exploitation."(Page 169) This "…fused the economic organs of society, the factories and the workplace with a political decision-making process where power flowed from the bottom-up. (Page vii) That it "abolished the capital-labour relation." (Page 170) A bold effort, "drowned in blood". And yet, "Most of all I wanted to challenge the assumption that Stalinist totalitarianism was the automatic and inevitable result of a revolution which mobilised the poorest in society". (Page x)
McKenna considers, then, that "Stalinism represented the negation of the proletarian revolution". Lenin stood for the emancipation of the working class "to be an act by the workers themselves" (Page 42) Nothing could be more clearly opposed to Stalin's "overwhelming distrust – not only for the masses, but for the process of revolution itself" (Page 16) For those who recount the political conflicts of the early Soviet Union as a clash between a growing bureaucracy, and those, siding with Lenin who railed against administrative power and privilege, this is a decisive difference. Leninism was popular creative power; Stalinism was the rules and regulations, backed by repression, of the office.
This guiding contrast in The Dictator the Revolution, the Machine is not without problems. There is a different view, expressed by Rosa Luxemburg, that this was not, in practice, how Lenin's ideology worked. To her Lenin had "a dangerous rigidity in argumentation, certain scholasticism in his political ideas, and a tendency to ignore the living embodiment of the masses, or even to coerce it into accepting preconceived tactical plans."(1) There is the claim that, under Lenin's aegis, there were "always various tendencies and groups within the Party, which was considered natural and normal."(2) There is another picture of less than tolerant Bolshevik, as revealed in his years of exile of "ceaseless polemics with all those he considered philistines, pedants, whiners, sceptics, defeatists. (3) Or, more strongly that when with his hands on the levers of power these were not just arguments, "Lenin, as we have seen time and time again, could not assimilate opposition. It could only be overcome and destroyed. In place of complete creative freedom Lenin turned to a new discourse based on a completely opposite theme – iron proletarian discipline."(4)
A recent biography of Stalin puts this more sharply, "assertions of a Bolshevik collective leadership predating Stalin's ring hollow. Lenin's secretariat took on an essentially limitless range of issues, setting a precedent, and no one did more than Lenin to establish a living example of one-man rule at the top. (When the other 'collective leaders; disagreed with Lenin he threatened to expel them or, failing that, to quit the party and form a new one." (5) One may contest this judgement. Others talk of 'Stalin's team', a tightly bound group at the top- broadening some of McKenna's focus on the General Secretary. In either case the legacy, however reshaped in new hands, from Lenin's rule cannot be ignored. (6)
Iron Discipline.
McKenna's book does not however shirk from describing the mechanisms used to enforce this "iron discipline" during, and after, the Civil War. This was, above all, the work of the secret police, the Cheka. He defends, "out of military necessity", "mass compulsion" "terror" was an absolute requirement in a context where a class or nation state is in the process of fighting for existence goes more or less without saying" (Page 29) But the "generalisation of terror to a social class carte blanche – and specifically the petty bourgeoisie…. the peasantry" "the bureaucracy was beginning to weave their theoretical rationale for its terrorisation for the very group whose surplus produce was integral to its survival..(Ibid) It used "indiscriminate force" against peasant or proletarians who "bridled against the increasingly coercive power and needs of the bureaucracy itself." (Ibid)
According to Alexander Solzhenitsyn the Gulag Archipelago could not have built without the early sanction of these measures of compulsion. "In the first months of the October Revolution Lenin was already demanding decisive draconian measures to tighten up discipline" In December 1917, he suggested for consideration, confiscation of all property.. confinement in prison, dispatch to the front and forced labour for all who disobey the existing law." (6) During the period of War Communism, Trotsky advocated ever tighter punishments, and the militarisation of labour (Terrorism and Communism: A Reply to Karl Kautsky 1920) He asserted that the dictatorship of the proletariat was able to make use of organized state power by the working class to crush its opponents and to pave the way for social transformation.
If every Cook could run the State, as envisaged in the State and Revolution, those who broke the rules risked more than admonishing in an acidic polemical article. The dissolution of the Constituent Assembly was the end of 'formal' democracy and its replacement by the 'superior' form of workplace rule. As experience rapidly showed, adversaries of 'Soviet power' from the right, the dissident left, and not all because of the violent opposition of the left Social Revolutionaries (Uprising 1918. Exclusion: Fifth Soviet Congress, 1918), the right and then the left Mensheviks and Anarchists, particularly those with suspect "class origins" (which began to be treated as a hereditary taint) were progressively excluded from the 'democracy' of the Soviets. The system was designed to be the opposite of 'agonistic' politics where open clashes between opposed views would be freely expressed.
Lenin's Last Struggle.
Was Stalin's hold on these reins of power inevitable? During Lenin's later lifetime and following his death, disputes between bureaucrats – that is state employees – Trotsky, Bukharin, Zinoviev, and Stalin, to cite some well-known names, continued. But already the shrinking of political freedom had caught up with the Party itself, as factions had been banned, and all dissent was suspect. There seemed to be an inevitability about further moves towards enforced unity – "discipline" – around One line One leader, on every single issue, economic, cultural, political, and ideological. Yet Moshe Lewin's Lenin's Last Struggle (1975) underlines the view that his Testament explicitly called for Stalin's removal from office. Lewin claimed, "the use of constraint – let alone terror – is ostensibly excluded in establishing the foundations of a new society". (8) This 'tolerance', at best putting up with people, was, as we seen, very limited. As McKenna narrates, not only was the Testament suppressed, and Stalin's office confirmed, not to be, but also the range of forces allied with him, and the hesitations of his opponents, prevented even the document being discussed.
The Dictator the Revolution, the Machine is a passionate intervention into debates on these issues. The description of the full "shadow of totalitarianism", Stalin's 1930s Great Terror, and a thorough, searing, look at the Gulag, is outstanding. McKenna's concluding hopes for a direct 'utopian' democracy that takes collective control of a socialised economy takes inspiration from the best side of the Soviet ideal. This review has argued that we cannot ignore, with Claude Lefort, and many others, the other side, the 'temporary' limitations on democratic expression sketched above. They cannot be ignored. They turned out to be the permanent basis for a totalitarian regime, and whatever form of erratic command economy one cares to call it. Perhaps truly universal – unblemished – inspiration cannot be found in the early years of the Russian Revolution. The all-too-ready use of force to resolve political issues played some part in the emergence of Stalinism. The means, exile, imprisonment, forced labour and killing, by which the "Pouvoir soviétique se déliverent des enemies", (how Soviet power got rid of its enemies) are not foreign to the emergence of Stalin's system of rule, warped by his own personality though it may have been. (9) We should also ensure that this blood-drenched tyranny is never repeated.

The Dictator, The Revolution, the Machine: a Political Account of Joseph Stalin.
Tony McKenna is a bona fide public intellectual who contributes to Marxist journals without having any connections to academia or to the disorganized left. This gives his writing a freshness both in terms of political insight and literary panache. I first encountered his work in a collection of articles titled "Art, Literature and Culture From a Marxist Perspective" that reflected a familiarity with culture high and low and an ability to put works such as "The Walking Dead" into a broader political and social context. Was the popular AMC zombie show a good preparation for "The Dictator, The Revolution, the Machine: a Political Account of Joseph Stalin", his latest book forthcoming from Sussex press? I'd like to think so.
Although I think that McKenna would be capable of turning a Unix instruction manual into compelling prose, the dead tyrant has spurred him to reach a higher level—one that is in inverse proportion to the degraded subject matter. At 186 pages, his study is both an excellent introduction to Stalin and Stalinism as well as one that gives any veteran radical well-acquainted with Soviet history some food for thought on the quandaries facing the left today. Drawing upon fifty or so books, including a number that leftist veterans would likely not be familiar with such as leading Soviet military leader Gregory Zhukov's memoir, McKenna synthesizes it all into a highly readable and often dramatic whole with his own unique voice. It is a model of historiography and one that might be read for no other reason except learning how to write well. (McKenna is an editor and an aspiring novelist.)

Stalinism and Trotskyism both back in vogue says Andrew Murray (Chair of the Stop the War Coalition).
Both Stalin and Trotsky Back in Vogue says Chair of Stop the War Coalition.
Stalinism and Trotskyism appear to be back in vogue. Their shrouds are being waved — entryism here, a purge there — to terrify bystanders to the struggle over the future of the Labour Party, writes Andrew Murray.
"This illustrates the extent to which "dead Russians," using the term slightly loosely, still hold the imagery and lexicon of the international left in thrall nearly a century after the October revolution."
Andrew Murray is, to repeat, Chair of the Stop the War Coalition and holds some other positions in the labour movement.
He continues on this site.
In a learned analysis of Trotsky's uncompleted book Stalin (apparently now out in a definitive edition) Murray outlines within this context the background of the founder of the Fourth International's final (uncompleted) book.
It was Trotsky's last major literary endeavour and he was working on it when he was assassinated by an agent of Soviet security in 1940. It was a biography so unauthorised that it may be the only one in the history of the genre whose author was murdered by its subject while the book was still being prepared.
We should nevertheless get the low-down on the cash involved.
Trotsky had been paid $5,000 for the job by a US publisher who was accurately anticipating a sustained assault on the Soviet leader.
Murray outlines the new version of the text now published by Socialist Appeal
In a herculean labour of love, Alan Woods and Rob Sewell of the Socialist Appeal group — that vindicated element of the old Militant tendency which argued that the fight in the Labour Party was not over — have restored the book to something more like what Trotsky would have intended. (1)
Here are some choice quotes from Murray's review,
There is more to Trotsky's bile than Olympian Marxist analysis. His outrage at the fact that he, the great leader of the insurrection and the Red Army, should have come off second best to a man obviously inferior to him in every salient respect — orator, writer, reader of second and third languages and so on — permeates every page.
The USSR won the war and Stalin emerged stronger than ever, with socialism spreading to half of Europe and much of Asia, perhaps the most significant of the many circumstances which left Trotskyism without Trotsky stillborn as a major political movement.
Trotsky would have found all this quite incomprehensible but perhaps not as incomprehensible as his own political worsting by a nonentity from the provinces. Historians and some on the left will continue to dispute these questions ad infinitum.
Murray concludes,
But no, the Labour Party is not living through "Stalinism" versus "Trotskyism" reincarnated.
Time, perhaps, for a new political vocabulary.
Time indeed.
I shall leave it to the comrades to discuss this review in more detail, including this claim against Trotsky, "his assertions about the number of Red Army officers suppressed in the purges are wide of the mark by significant magnitudes."
Personally I much prefer Boris Souvarine's Stalin:A Critical Survey of Bolshevism (Translated by C.L.R. James 1939. French edition 1935) (see also this « Staline » de Boris Souvarine). "Souvarine was a founding member of the French Communist Party and is noted for being the only non-Russian communist to have been a member of the Comintern for three years in succession. He famously authored the first biography of Joseph Stalin, published in 1935 as Staline, Aperçu Historique du Bolchévisme (Stalin, Historic Overview of Bolshevism) and kept close correspondence with Lenin and Trotsky until their deaths."
According to the one-time Trotskyist Fred Zeller in Témoin du siècle while he visited the Marxist leader in Norway he informed Trotsky of Souvraine's work.
Trotsky did not have a high opinion of it, noting that the book was even not unreservedly respectful of Lenin…..
Souveraine was, one observes today, critical of Trotsky, but rightly laid the emphasis on the monstrous crimes of Stalin and the immense social apparatus of repression and killing that was built from the 1920s onwards.
(1) More here: In these videos, Alan Woods and Rob Sewell discuss Leon Trotsky's great unfinished work, Stalin, which is being published this year by Wellred Books. Alan Woods discusses the political and theoretical analysis provided by Trotsky, who attempts to explain some of the most decisive events of the 20th century, not just in terms of epoch-making economic and social transformations, but in the individual psychology of those who appear as protagonists in a great historical drama. Meanwhile, Rob Sewell provides the story behind the publication of this magnum opus – the most extensive edition of the book ever released, completed from the original archive material.
Socialist Party Goes into Meltdown.
Back to the Old Times for Socialist Party in England and Wales.
This has already been described as the bitterest piece of sectarianism by a left group since the days of News Line.
Momentum Youth and Students: Witch hunts won't take movement forward
After speaking and making clear that we were members of the Socialist Party, the Labour Party and Momentum, the room was whipped up by multiple speakers calling for our expulsion.
In attendance were two self-proclaimed Trotskyist groups – Socialist Appeal and the Alliance for Workers Liberty (AWL). Both groups have recently been targeted by the Labour Party and have received suspensions and expulsions. However neither of them spoke out against the same witch hunt against the Socialist Party in Momentum.
In fact, one member of the AWL proclaimed that he "was not and has never been a member of the Socialist Party" and that there was no place for the Socialist Party in Momentum.
These groups, by their silence, have sided with the right-wing compromisers in Momentum and are complicit in the witch hunt. They offered no strategy or programme for fighting the civil war in the Labour Party, as the Blairites will continue to fight to keep it a party which acts in the interests of the 1%.
The complete lack of democracy in Momentum was shown when Jon Lansman personally voided my Momentum membership via a text to Momentum's office.
He said I was guilty of belonging to a party hostile to the Labour Party. The Socialist Party isn't hostile to Jeremy Corbyn and those that have joined Labour to fight for his policies. We are, however, hostile to Blairite MPs calling for the bombing of Syria, and local councillors implementing Tory cuts.
Another Socialist Party member refused to give his name so Lansman took his photo! Are we to see 'wanted posters' of known Socialist Party members at local Momentum meetings?
The political outlook of the Momentum leadership was summed up by a contribution that said: "The main way to support Jeremy Corbyn is to vote Labour." Momentum, by uncritically canvassing for Blairites, has given no warning to the role those such as London Mayor Sadiq Khan will play in attacks on Corbyn's leadership.
"You must admit that the sheer cheek of saying ""We need to kick out the Blairites at all levels of the Labour Party and campaign for mandatory re-selection." while whingeing about people wanting to kick them out takes some beating."
This is worth reading (rest on site).
Breaking with the Socialist Party/CWI
We have come to the conclusion that the very nature of the undemocratic structures of the Socialist Party and CWI make it impossible to change or reform it in any meaningful manner. There has been no contested election for leadership in living memory. Along the way, we have won support from current and ex-members of the CWI. However, many of those current members have subsequently left the CWI (although not Marxist World) because of the bureaucratic barriers and methods used against them. The lack of internal democracy makes the task of putting forward our ideas without distortion, bureaucratic manoeuvres and, in some cases, outright harassment, virtually impossible. Unlike the Socialist Party EC, we have no intention of repudiating the fundamentals of Marxism. We have no choice but to leave the Socialist Party/CWI.
We split from the Socialist Party/CWI partly with regret because of the history of "Trotskyism" and the seemingly endless history of splits and splits of splits. For example, in recent years the SWP has had two splits and Workers Power three. In many ways these are manifestations of the crisis within so-called Marxism following the 2007/8 economic crisis and the perspectives and methods of these organisations. Yet all these splits have either recreated the same bureaucratic centralist structures as their parent organisation, or threw out the baby with the bath water and abandoned the notion of an independent revolutionary party. Either way the effect on the rest of the Left has been demoralisation, disgust and distrust towards revolutionary Marxism.
Further comment:
As somebody who has very publicly argued against working in a common political project in the Labour Party with the Socialist Party, at a London meeting of Labour Briefing and amongst my comrades in Chartist, there are two simple reasons why I do not want to have anything to do with them in these kind of forums: (1) They keep trying to create a mini-'Labour movement' based around their sect. They stand candidates against Labour – still – and are now engaged in an Anti-Labour and anti-TUC (not to mention all the major unions) campaign on Europe. (2) They are opposed to us on fundamental issues, as shown very clearly by their anti-EU position. As for the comment, "two self-proclaimed Trotskyist groups" both of the organisations cited (AWL and SA) they have considerably more claim to Trotskyism than the bizarre nationalists of the SP.
I certainly do not want to be in close political work with a group that comes out with the kind of stuff: Trade Unionists Against the EU' defends "Indigenous workers" against "Cheap Foreign Labour".
Socialist Worker: Assad and Russian Supporters Welcome in Stop the War Campaign.
SWP: Assad and Putin Supporters Welcome.
Today Socialist Worker publishes an account of the complexities of the Syrian civil war.
Alex Callinicos notes,
The Syrian war is a complex, many-sided conflict, pitting against each other domestic forces that are increasingly defined in confessional and sectarian terms. These are backed by outside regional and global powers for their own interests. The secular democratic impulse of the original 2011 risings survives only weakly.
He then observes.
Moreover, various currents in the Western left have their sympathies with different sides in the war.
In seeking 'unity' in the anti-war 'movement' (that is protests) he retreats into the 1st World War 'revolutionary defeatist" bunker when it comes to his conclusion.
The moral of this is that the anti-war movement should stay out of all the different powers' geopolitical schemes and the spurious arguments used to justify them.
Our task is to mobilise against the US-led military campaign in the Middle East and our own government's participation. This broad stand can gain the support of Syrians opposed to the bombings.
This doesn't mean that people who back Russia, or even Assad, have no place in the anti-war movement. Others on the British left have used their presence at anti-war rallies as a reason for not supporting the Stop the War Coalition.
This is a bad mistake. We should accept that we have different takes on the Syrian struggle, but still work together.
Socialist Worker stands strongly with the Syrian Revolution and its original promise. But we won't forget that the main enemy is at home, and we'll unite with all who want to mobilise against it.
How the inclusion in the anti-war movement of those opposed to what Callinicos describes as the Syrian Revolution – that is backers of Assad – works out is beyond rational comprehension.
This reasoning could mean that anybody fighting for the defeat of the 'main enemy' – 'at home' – is welcome in the anti-war movement.
Now in fact there is no real modern equivalent of this 'defeatism' since nobody is arguing the Patriotic case for defending the 'Nation' – the UK – against 'its' enemies.
There is, in other words, no parallel to the left patriotic 'defencists' of the Great War, or to those arguing (rightly) to defend their countries against Nazi occupation.
Trotsky, who is apparently an authority in these affairs, said in 1939,
"… Defeatism is the class policy of the proletariat, which even during a war sees the main enemy at home, within its particular imperialist country. Patriotism, on the other hand, is a policy which locates the main enemy outside one's own country. The idea of defeatism signifies in reality the following: conducting an irreconcilable revolutionary struggle against one's own bourgeoisie as the main enemy, without being deterred by the fact that this struggle may result in the defeat of one's own government; given a revolutionary movement the defeat of one's own government is a lesser evil. Lenin did not say nor did he wish to say anything else. There cannot even be talk of any other kind of 'aid' to defeat."
Hal Draper.The Myth of Lenin's "Revolutionary Defeatism"
There is no domestic British 'revolutionary movement'.
A more rational left position today would be to start not from an abstract "Syrian Revolution".
It is with the wishes of the democratic left forces on the ground such as the 'Kurdish nationalist' (Callinicos's expression) PKK and its Syrian allies, not to mention Syrian democratic movements. It would be to support the cause of human rights expressed by the suffering peoples of Syria and Iraq.
How the ruin of Cameron, however much one would wish it for domestic reasons, can be compared to the aims of those battling the genociders of Daesh to see them and the other Islamist killers eliminated, is a trick of which groups like the SWP alone have the secret.
It is hard to see how any 'unity' could come about between those in the UK who wish for support for these groups in their just struggle, yet oppose British intervention in its present shape, can be made on the basis of a wish to see 'our' UK government' beaten.
The SWP have a morally bankrupt stand.
To say the least.
How Not to Analyse Ukraine: the Sad Case of Socialist Resistance.
There once was a Fourth International.
Liam Mac Uaid , who is a respected comrade, has roused an unusual unanimously hostile reaction on the left for this article.
Ukraine – the Russians are the aggressors
We can agree or disagree with the Fourth International's analysis: whether there is a 'side' worth taking, or not.
But these sentences have become notorious.
Putin's strategy is to gouge out chunks of Ukrainian territory. He started with Crimea. That is roughly analogous to the north of Ireland. The British state has used the presence of a Protestant population which is opposed to a united Ireland to claim sovereignty over Irish territory.
Another analogy is the Israeli state. There, a settler population displaced the original inhabitants and denied them the right to a Palestinian state. Stalin's tactics in Crimea were not too different from those of the Israeli state's founders. He deported almost 200 000 Crimean Tatars and filled the gap with ethnic Russians.
Putin is planning to use the presence of Russian speakers in other parts of Ukrainian territory to annex them. This has even worried Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko. According to The Moscow Times he criticised Russia's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea as setting a "bad precedent." Even Putin's friends in the region are twitchy now.
Northern Ireland, Israel, plenty more about Stalin.
A confused phrase stating that, "A defeat for Russian imperialism in Ukraine is both a victory for that mass movement and the Russian working class. "
This article, with the central analogies cited above, has caused great offence on the left, including some of my close comrades.
Mind you some individuals seem to think that Stalinism=Israel=Northern Ireland=Putin.
The magic of dialectical thinking at work no doubt.

It has all the advantages of a Mexican Caribbean resort -a dazzling, white-sand beach, turquoise sea, a huge range of bars, restaurants and places to stay -and yet it has managed to retain a relaxed, low-rise village atmosphere which has nothing in common with the large-scale tourist resorts elsewhere on the coast.
IH Riviera Maya is situated in the centre of the town. Less than 10 minutes from the beach. The school was set up as a joint venture between IH Mexico City and IH Barcelona (Spain) and benefits from the 40 years' experience in language teaching and language teacher training that these two schools provide. There are 10 spacious classrooms, all with air conditioning and views of the garden which is full of exotic plants and trees.
International House Riviera Maya organises part-time and intensive English courses all year round for young learners, teenagers and adult students. Courses are offered at all levels and at various times of the day. We also offer in-company courses as well as private classes (1-to-1) . Also, the sch
IH RM offers different options of accommodation including its own student residence which has 22 double bedrooms, all with air-conditioning, WIFI and TV.
IH RM organises a regular programme of social activities including welcome cocktail parties, conversation exchanges, dance classes and more.

View BJSH in a larger mapCT: You covered 1,000 miles in one month. How did you train for the trip and was it enough? JR: In regards to training, we didn't do enough and as you will see in the film...we had rough start to the trip due to that, combined with too much luggage that we were carrying. We didn't have a support vehicle, so we carried everything with us on our bikes. CT: You had to get rid of some of your equipment very early on as it was weighing you down. Was there anything you dumped that you later regretted not taking with you? JR: I think we all (with the exception of Kevin) got rid of too much clothing. We were constantly running out of clean clothes throughout the trip. I sent our set of walkie talkies away too, which we could have used numerous times throughout the trip. I also dumped my electric razor which I regretted when I wanted to shave halfway through the trip. But we were desperate to lose some weight in the mountains. CT: What was the most challenging aspect of the trip physically? JR: Definitely the first week in the mountains in terms of bicycling, but the areas with bad air quality were extremely difficult to get through as well. There were days that it was difficult to get a full breath, so you can imagine the physical strain that puts on your body. CT: And mentally? JR: Definitely riding in traffic in the cities was mentally challenging. You always have to stay very present and focused because there is so much going on around you. Also, it was mentally challenging to be worrying about making the film, while trying to cycling 40-70 miles a day. There are a lot of challenges traveling in China. CT: You journey through some very varied landscapes, towns and cities. Can you tell us a bit about the highlights and the lowlights? JR: I really enjoyed the variety of landscapes we experienced. The most beautiful part of the trip was the first week, cycling along the Great Wall out to the coast (east of Beijing). I really liked the variety of cities we experienced as well. We were in large cities such as Beijing, Qingdao, and Shanghai, but we were also in smaller county towns, and very rural areas as well. It gave us a good view of both how quickly China is growing, and the rural areas that are still very underdeveloped in comparison the urban areas. CT: Being on the road constantly for a month and often in very polluted areas, did any of you suffer any serious or longer term health problems? JR: It was definitely difficult to breath at times on the trip and I think it took a little while for our lungs to recover, but none of us had any lasting health problems. We weren't really there all that long (6 weeks), compared to the people who live there. I think the constant exposure to the pollution for an extended period of time could definitely cause longer term health problems those residents in polluted areas. CT: If you had to pick one defining moment for the trip, what would it be? JR: It's hard to pick one moment, but I'd say the Beer Festival in Qingdao was the most fun we had. We were able to interact with people there and take a break away from the bikes. It was a really great way to be able to soak up the culture. CT: In the film we see quite clearly how the global demand on products from China are affecting the environment here. Has seeing and experiencing that close up led to any long-term changes in your attitude and lifestyle? JR: The trip definitely impacted all of us. You hear about the problems with the environment, but once you see them with your own eyes...it kind of brings it all home. We hope that our film will help others see how our needs in America are directly impacting the environment in China. Hopefully it will help more people to realize that this isn't just China's problem, but there are things we can do in the United States to help come up with a solution. CT: Though technically a "vacation" for you all, it was a tough journey. What did you do to recover? JR: Slept for about a week and ate lots of food. We were all exhausted. We all lost a tons of weight (despite eating lots of food along the way). I probably didn't feel all the way back to normal for a month or so. CT: What do you hope people will take away from the film? JR: We always intended for Man Zou to be much more than an adventure film about our travels in China. Instead, we wanted our experience to serve as a vehicle to delve into some of the larger issues that were facing the country following the 2008 Beijing Olympics. In retrospect, I believe we accomplished these goals for the project. In riding through the varied urban and rural areas between Beijing and Shanghai, it opened a window into some of the many contradictions that exist in China today: old vs. new, rich vs. poor, development vs. environment and taking time to see things along the way vs. moving rapidly in modern world. CT: If you could do it all again, what would you do differently? JR: Looking back on what we did, there is little that I would change, other than having more time in China to let all of the things we learned sink in. Although we got to experience so much while we were there, it was still not nearly enough time and we could have easily stayed twice as long. But this is the plight I think we all face in 21st century…not having enough time to take the time to absorb things, to learn about different cultures and people, and to "Walk Slow." It wasn't by accident that we titled the film Man Zou. Just like most Americans, I have difficulty walking slow and in making this film, I forced myself to take 6 weeks out of my busy life to experience China and everything it has to offer in the hopes of understanding it just a little more. Although it was a challenge to me to break away and change my mindset, it was ultimately one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I hope our film can serve to inspire others to do the same.

Prayers for Peace on the Eve of 7/7
- Details
- Created on Thursday, 16 July 2015
Prayers for Peace on the eve of 7/7
Bishop Richard speaks at Regent's Park Mosque
The Forum's Anglican President, the Rt Revd Dr Richard Cheetham, Bishop of Kingston, was a keynote speaker at London Central Mosque on the eve of 7th July. Faith leaders were invited by the Mosque and the Muslim Council of Britain to commemorate those who died ten years ago and to offer prayers for peace.
Bishop Richard had assisted at the funeral of one of those killed on 7/7 and reflected on our responsibilities today.
"The question of how we live well together is one of the biggest issues of the twenty-first century. If it goes wrong, its consequences can be dreadful. And we live now in an age where terrorism is rife, it's part of our news almost daily. It creates a terrible atmosphere - if we let it. Fear spreads very, very easily. That's why it's so important to hear the strong words said this evening:
Not in our name
No to terrorism
United in peace
But also, it's really important that we work to build up the fabric of our communities. Things are broken in a moment; to build up united, peaceful communities takes hundreds, thousands of interactions between people, wanting to reach out, wanting to make really good relationships, to build them at a local level and every level.
That's the kind of work the Christian Muslim Forum is engaged in. The Forum is continuing to build that kind of peace, that kind of united society which has been spoken about this evening.
It's good to see men and women, young and old, the whole spectrum of humanity represented in this room tonight, because it's in our common humanity under God and in working together that we can build the kind of world that God wants for all of us, in which all human beings can flourish."
Dr Shuja Shafi, Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain, said, "I welcome you to tonight's event and invite you to pray for the victims of 7/7 and of terrorism since then. Let us pray for a more peaceful and united society, and let us pray that our leaders have the wisdom and the ability to unite communities in the face of terrorism."
The Forum's Interim Director, Catriona Robertson, remembered the shock and sadness across all communities ten years ago and how local religious groups came together in solidarity and peace. She reflected on the changing attitudes towards British Muslims since 7/7. She closed with a passage from the scriptures on humility, justice and kindness, which she said were as important now as when first spoken:
"What does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" Micah 6.8
The Prayers for Peace were followed by the breaking of the Ramadan fast and a shared meal.

Health Services
Email: email@example.com
The Wheelock College Student Health Program, located at the Harvard Vanguard Medical Associates, 133 Brookline Avenue, Boston, provides routine primary and gynecological care to Wheelock undergraduate and resident graduate students.
While routine primary and gynecological care is covered by the Wheelock College Student Health Program, the Commonwealth requires students enrolled three-quarters time or more to be covered by a qualifying health insurance program. Any student who does not submit proof of enrollment in a qualifying program before registering for classes will automatically be enrolled in a program through the College and the charge will be added to the student's account. No refunds or exceptions will be granted. Students who are not covered by a qualifying program may obtain coverage through an alternative program arranged by the College. This insurance plan does not duplicate the care provided by the Wheelock College Student Health Program at Harvard Vanguard. If specialty care is needed, students must use health insurance.
Students are invited to attend educational health and wellness programs throughout the academic year. Qualified professional staff speak on various topics, including street safety, relationships, addictions, safer sex, healthy eating and women's health. The Student Life Office schedules and promotes these events.
Residence Life
Darcy Dubois, Associate Dean of Students/Director of Residence Life & Student Leadership
Website: http://www.wheelock.edu/student-life/residence-life
Email: email@example.com
The Office of Residence Life is committed to creating a residential community that supports a vibrant learning and living experience at Wheelock College. The Residence Life staff lives and works with students to build a community that engages in learning both in and out of the classroom; is respectful of all forms of discourse; welcomes all backgrounds, thoughts, and beliefs; challenges assumptions; fosters growth; and provides space for friendship and fun. One of the most important roles of the staff is to serve as a guide for students as they navigate the transitions and challenges they face at college.
Some of the services that our Resident Assistants (RAs) and our Resident Directors (RDs) provide are: social and academic programming for each floor and building, clear explanation and enforcement of the college's policies and procedures, roommate conflict mediation, a sympathetic ear, and more.
Wheelock's six residence halls — Longwood House, Peabody Hall, Pilgrim House, the Campus Center Student Residence (CCSR) building, Riverway House, and Colchester House — offer unique living environments. They vary in size, types of rooms, designations as coeducational or single-sex halls, and traditions. Each living environment is headed by professional Resident Directors and student Resident Assistants who represent and enforce the general philosophies and policies of the Office of Student Life. The unique characteristics of the halls are ensured through residence self-government, which allows house members to determine rules and regulations for their own community.
Rooms are either singles, doubles, triples, or quads, and each room in the residence halls is equipped with the following: a twin bed, a desk with a chair, dresser, blinds on the windows, an overhead light, smoke detectors, closet space (limited), and hook ups for cable TV. Each residence hall has some wireless connectivity—Riverway and the CCSR are entirely wireless, while the remaining residences have wireless connectivity in the common areas but require wired connection to the college network in the rooms. Each residence hall is smoke-free and has vending machines, television lounges with microwave ovens, and computer rooms. Laundry facilities are located in Peabody Hall, Riverway House, Pilgrim House (for residents of Pilgrim and Longwood), CCSR, and Colchester.
Public Safety
Website: http://www.wheelock.edu/student-life/public-safety
The mission of the Department of Public Safety is to provide a safe and secure environment in which Wheelock College students, faculty, staff, and guests may learn, work, and live. The department offers a number of services and systems, and operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. The campus emergency phone number is (617) 879.2151.
All public safety personnel receive extensive training; are certified in first aid, CPR, and the use of automated external defibrillators (AED); and are very knowledgeable about the campus and Wheelock.
The Communications Center
The Public Safety Dispatch Center, located just inside Peabody Hall, 210 The Riverway, is staffed 24 hours a day by a trained communications professional. An access control system manages the various security devices located throughout the College and alerts the dispatcher to situations that require further attention. The dispatcher can direct immediate response for any breach of security or safety.
Building Access Policies
Residence Halls are locked 24 hours a day. Access is gained only by authorized personnel using their Wheelock College identification card in the card reader at the front entrance of each residence hall. All guests must be signed in at the Dispatch Center located in Peabody Hall and be escorted into the residence hall by their host. Escort policies vary during the school year according to schedules set up by the Office of Residence Life.
Academic and other non-residence buildings are open during regular business hours. On weekends and holidays, faculty, staff and students may be asked to check in with the dispatcher at the Dispatch Center located in Peabody Hall and show their Wheelock College identification card.
Card Access System
An access control management system is installed throughout the campus. The system's primary function is to enhance the physical security of the buildings. Card readers are located at the front entrance of each residence hall and are accessed by students using their Wheelock College identification cards. Video surveillance is also part of card access at all main entrances and on the perimeter grounds of campus.
Emergency Phones
Exterior phones are located at the front entrances of each residence hall and at various locations throughout the campus. These phones may be used to dial any Wheelock College extension. Each phone also has an "Emergency" button that automatically dials the Dispatch Center when activated. The emergency phone system displays the exact location of the origin of the call to the Communications Officer who then dispatches a patrol unit to the scene.
Michelle Ormerod, Registrar
Website: www.wheelock.edu/reg
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Registrar is responsible for course registration, production of course schedules, issuing transcripts, verifying enrollment, processing grades, monitoring the degree status of students, evaluating transfer credits, issuing diplomas, supervision of Veterans Affairs, establishing the academic calendar, acting as a liaison for the College of the Fenway Consortium Cross-Registration Program, maintenance of permanent student academic records, and implementing academic policy as determined by the faculty of the College.
Student Records
The Registrar's office maintains the academic transcript of each student. Academic transcripts are available to students upon written request. An official transcript bears the seal of the College and the signature of the Registrar. A transcript issued directly to a student is designated "Issued to Student." To obtain a copy of his or her transcript, a student must complete the Transcript Request form available on the Wheelock College website or by submitting a request online through the National Student Loan Clearinghouse and paying the appropriate fee for each transcript requested. To obtain an official transcript, a student must also have satisfied his or her financial obligations to the College.
A file for every current student is maintained in the Office of Academic Records and Registration and in the Office of Academic Advising and Academic Assistance. Students may inspect these files upon request. The Registrar determines final degree eligibility as outlined by program requirements in the Wheelock College Catalog. Once a degree is conferred, no grades can be changed on a student's record.
Offices of Field Experience and Social Work Field Education
Website: http://www.wheelock.edu/academics/field-experience-and-field-education
Paul Akoury, Assistant Director of the Field Experience Office
Email: email@example.com
Devon Reber, Director of Social Work Field Education
Email: email@example.com
A hallmark of a Wheelock College education is intensive and rich fieldwork. Undergraduate students do their field work primarily in the Boston, Brookline and Cambridge communities in more than 280 schools, hospitals, community agencies and programs. Graduate students have a wider geographic area for placements. All baccalaureate and master's candidates in education programs complete at least one of their supervised experiences in an urban setting in one of the three partner communities, with the exception of a graduate candidate who is employed in another school district. In that case, the place of employment must meet the Wheelock requirements for a clinical site, including the use of appropriate MA Curriculum Frameworks and State Common Core Standards; in addition, the site must represent diversity and also be approved by the Field Experience Office in collaboration with department faculty. Both undergraduate and graduate social work students coordinate their field practicum through the Social Work Field Education office. This ensures that practicum sites and required supervision are compliant with accreditation and licensure guidelines. All placements reflect the College's historic involvement in communities and the faculty's belief in the importance of dynamic integration between theoretical and practical knowledge. Sites include infant and toddler settings, afterschool programs, public schools, independent schools, hospitals, community health centers, substance abuse programs, special needs programs, early childhood centers, senior centers and district court and social services settings. From a student's undergraduate first year through graduate work, Wheelock emphasizes learning about many cultures and affirming the strengths and collective wisdom that we all bring to society. Consistent with our Academic Guiding Principles, the College utilizes diverse and inclusive settings that build students' capacity to become professionals who work effectively with all children and families.
Massachusetts requires certain agencies serving children and the elderly to conduct a Criminal Offender Record Inquiry (CORI) background check on all volunteers and staff. Students should be aware that schools, hospitals, community service agencies and other placement sites typically conduct a CORI, Department of Children and Families (DCF)and sometimes a Sex Offender Record Inquiry (SORI) background check on everyone working and volunteering at their site. Due to the nature of Wheelock's curriculum and its requirements for placements at such sites, students should expect to participate in the CORI process.
Wheelock College Library
Ann Glannon, Interim Director of Academic Resources
Website: http://www.wheelock.edu/library
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Wheelock College Library connects students with the information and resources they need to be successful at Wheelock.

I want to thank Senators Collins and Lieberman for holding this important hearing on duplication. Let me make it clear from the get go; it is the fault of Congress that our federal government funds thousands of duplicative programs that are wasting billions of hard earned tax dollars each year.
I want to thank Comptroller General Dodaro for the invaluable report he and his team at GAO released in March of this year. This report is a roadmap for Congress to reduce duplication in our federal government and I look forward to reviewing and acting on the new report they release next year. I also want to thank Mr. Kundra and Mr. Gordon for coming today. It will take commitment from both the Administration and Congress to eliminate these programs and save money.
As mentioned above, the GAO duplication report was released in March and sadly, Congress has yet to act on the many findings.
Federal spending is at an all-time high. Our nation is facing a record 1.3 trillion-dollar deficits and a more than $14.5 trillion debt, which equals more than $46,000 per American citizen. This is not sustainable and it should be unacceptable to every American.
Despite our current fiscal crisis, Congress continues with business as usual and refuses to cut spending by eliminating duplicative federal programs.
Congress has ignored its most basic responsibility to conduct oversight and determine if a given federal program duplicates an existing program within the federal government or in many cases simply examine if the program is effective in doing what it was designed to do. Sadly, members of Congress continue funding old ineffective programs instead of eliminating them because they don't want to make the hard choices that are so desperately needed.
While Congress refuses to eliminate programs, they stand ready to create new and costly "press release" programs that will never be measured to see if the programs are actually working.
There is no ineffective, inefficient program that the government can't recreate at an even higher cost.
Congress has created numerous programs and poured billions of dollars into these programs, to address nearly every issue and problem faced by any individual, group, or entity across the country. And yet, many of these problems and challenges still exist today, as if the government
never even tried to address it. For Example:
*The GAO found 15 agencies involved with Food Safety.
* The federal government operates 80 separate economic development programs and spend $6.5 billion a year and the GAO says we can't measure them.
* We spend $58 billion on 100 separate transportation programs with no accountably to produce results.
* There are more than 20 agencies that run roughly 56 financial literacy programs.
* There are 18 programs across 3 agencies that run food assistance programs.
* There are 7 agencies that run over 20 homeless programs.
* According to the GAO Report, the federal government funds more than 44 job training programs, administered by nine different federal agencies that are costing the American taxpayer $30 billion.
* The federal government administers at least 20 federal programs across 12 different federal agencies, dedicated to the study of invasive species.
* 10 agencies administer 82 teacher quality programs.
* There are at least 17 offender reentry programs across 5 different federal agencies, costing taxpayers over $250 million annually.
* There are over 14 programs administered by the U.S. Department of Education related to foreign exchanges and designed to increase opportunities for students to study abroad.
* A May 2007 report of the Academic Competitiveness Council revealed there are at least 105 federal programs supporting science, technology, education, and math education, with aggregate funding of $3.12 billion in FY 2006.
* There are at least nine federal programs tasked with researching and developing befouls, costing taxpayers nearly $300 million annually, and over $800 million was included in the Stimulus bill for these initiatives.
* There are 19 mitigation grant programs and cooperative agreement administered by FEMA.
* FEMA administers 28 grant and cooperative agreement programs relating to firefighters.
* A 2010 report by the DHS Inspector General, which is highlighted in the GAO
duplication report, found that "planning" and "interoperable communications" is an allowance or activity that can be funded by many of the preparedness grant programs.
* In 2005, the GAO found that 13 different federal agencies spent nearly $3 billion from 2004 to 2007 to fund 207 federal programs to encourage students to enter the fields of math and science.
To force Congress do its job of oversight in weeding out duplicative and ineffective programs, I plan to introduce two bills in the coming weeks.
The first bill would simply require the Congressional Research Service (CRS) to issue an analysis for a committee report or conference report accompanying a bill noting whether or not the bill creates any duplicative or overlapping programs along with an explanation from the committee why the creation of duplicative programs proposed by the bill may be needed. This is
a common sense bill that will foster more accountability when Congress decides to create new programs.
The second bill will deal with the problem that has resulted from the federal government being too big to manage. The government has grown so large that even federal agencies cannot compile a list of all federal programs within their purview. Although various sources, including USA Spending and documents released by OMB and CBO produce partial lists of various
government programs, there is not an exhaustive list of all federal programs.
My bill would require agencies to report annually on every program they operate. This report will include the cost and performance of each of these programs and will be posted on the agency website for every American taxpayer to see. We will never be able to get a full picture of the duplication
problem until we fully understand what programs are out there.
Congress can no longer ignore failing and duplicative programs. We must act now and eliminate these programs to restore fiscal responsibility back into government and build back the trust of the American people.
I look forward to hearing from our witness.

Vitamin A, a known teratogen of the central nervous system, was administered in various doses, at the time of active neural tube closure, to pregnant curly-tail mice which have a genetic predisposition to neural tube defects (n.t.d.), and to A Strong mice, which are not so predisposed. The curly-tail mice showed an enhanced susceptibility to the teratogenic effect of vitamin A given on day 8 of gestation, demonstrating a clear gene--environment interaction. There was a differential response by the two sexes. Females seemed to be more affected by the vitamin A than males. When vitamin A was administered on day 9, instead of day 8, of gestation, the incidence of n.t.d. decreased rather than increased. Furthermore, the number of mice affected by n.t.d. was markedly lower even than that found spontaneously in untreated curly-tail mice.

Karbenning Vacation Packages
The national capital Stockholm is situated 85 miles (137 kilometers) southeast of Karbenning.
It comes as no surprise that the area around Karbenning is such a hotspot for vacationers from across the globe; the region is home to a treasure-trove of fascinating cultural and natural attractions. Farna and Skinnskatteberg are two more places worth visiting while you're in Lake Malaren.
While you are on holiday in Karbenning, why don't you visit Sala. Approximately 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the east, this regional city is where you'll find Vasby Kungsgard, Lake Langforsen and Sala Golf Club. Sala City Park, Sala Silvermine and Sala Folkets Park are other attractions here that should be included on every visitor's list.
History enthusiasts won't want to miss the area's historic palaces.
Lake Malaren boasts plenty of gentle activities. Set aside some time for picnicking or cycling and feel your worries drift away.
An excellent way to bond with the locals is talking the local language, so while in Lake Malaren why not practice a number of simple Swedish expressions and sentences. "Vill du dansa med mig?" ("Would you like to dance with me?") is a handy phrase to remember. "Varifrån kommer du?" means "Where are you from?"
When the time comes to leave Karbenning, pack up your camera and mementos, spend your last of your Swedish kronor on last-minute souvenirs, and bid Hej då (farewell) to this unique part of the world.

MUSICAL odd couple Kylie Minogue and Nick Cave have reunited for a new version of their controversial duet.
The remake of Where the Wild Roses Grow features on Minogue's new orchestral greatest hits album, The Abbey Road Sessions.
The murder ballad, a hit in 1996, sees Cave's character kill Minogue with a blow to the head.
At the time the song reinvented Minogue's career - she has continued to perform it in various concerts.
, recorded in the iconic London studio last November, sees Minogue rework sixteen of her hits with a full orchestra.
"Stripped of her high end pop production the emotional resonance of many of Kylie's songs has never been clearer, nor has her voice ever sounded better," a press release for the record states.
Minogue will showcase the album with the BBC Symphonic Orchestra at a show in London's Hyde Park this Saturday.
The Abbey Road Sessions includes orchestral renditions of some of the singer's biggest hits including I Should Be So Lucky, Can't Get You Out of My Head, Hand on Your Heart, Confide in Me, On a Night Like This, Better the Devil You Know, Never Too Late, Love at First Sight, The Locomotion and I Believe In You.
Minogue has also recorded unreleased fan-favorite, Flower, originally aired during her X tour in 2008, and tipped to be released as a single.
The album will be released on October 29, another part of the singer's celebrations of her 25th anniversary of making music.
She has drip-fed fans with several tracks from the sessions released as part of her monthly K25 releases.
Minogue will end the year as creative ambassador for Sydney's New Year's Eve celebrations, with rumours she may perform a one-off show to mark the occasion.
Originally published as Minogue, Cave re-record ballad

Description: Magnis (or Carvoran Roman Fort) was a fort on Hadrian's Wall, in the Roman province of Britannia. Magnis was originally built to guard the junction of the northbound Maiden Way with the Stanegate, the key supply route linking Coria (Corbridge] in the east to Luguvalium (Carlisle) in the west. As such it pre-dates Hadrian's Wall. Its ruins are located at Carvoran in the civil parish of Greenhead in the English county of Northumberland. Magnis is one of 16 Roman forts along Hadrian's Wall; there are also 80 smaller milecastle forts and 158 turrets along its length. Magnis is the location of the Roman Army Museum run by the Vindolanda Trust. Artifacts recovered at Magnis includie a two foot long iron spearhead, found at a depth of 36 feet (11 m) in a well, and the well-known modius, a bronze corn-measure. The Maiden Way Roman road runs south from Magnis to Kirkby Thore near Penrith.

Navy Seal Tragically Killed In Iraq By ISIS Militants
Tensions have flared up in the city of Irbil in northern Iraq.
Reports are coming in that a Navy SEAL has been killed as a result of coming under fire directly from Islamic State militants. They are said to have busted through a defense of Kurdish troops.
Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook stated that the unnamed Navy SEAL was about 2 miles away from the front lines, and was assisting a Kurdish soldier with their weapons training when he was killed. An AK-47 was likely the type of gun used.
Defense Secretary Ash Carter spoke candidly,
"It is a combat death, of course. And a very sad loss. It shows you the serious fight that we have to wage in Iraq."
The Kurdish Peshmergan forces were ambushed, and Navy SEALS went in bravely to repel the attack. Matthew Van Dyke, a military trainer told Fox News what he saw,
"The Peshmerga were trying to hold the line, but Navy SEALS – at least 20 – came in and pounded the s— out of ISIS."
According to Van Dyke, "Scores" of Islamic State militants perished. It was no simple attack.
"ISIS kept sending in suicide bombers, SEALs pounded them and the [U.S.] airstrikes did a lot to help. Bullets flying everywhere, machine gun fire from ISIS, really intense firefight."
It's a tough day when one of our soldiers dies in combat, especially when they die fighting a war that's supposedly over, and killed by an enemy so loosely referred to as "JV."
