"While the Prime Minister has described Maoists as the gravest threat to internal security, some members of his cabinet are openly engaged with the Maoists and patronising and protecting them", he said.
He also said, "The CDs submitted have recordings of meetings jointly addressed by top Trinamool and Maoist leaders, besides the manner in which CPM and Left workers have been hounded and killed."

- "Ehh?! What are you doing Akari?!"
- ―Chou, while she scolded Akari for sneaking up on her.
Might she be the new Cure? The amazing Chou! (彼女は新しい治療でしょうか?素晴らしいチョウ! Kanojo ha atarashi i chiryou deshouka? Subara shii Chou!?) is the second episode of the season, Rainbow! Pretty Cure made by Cure Coco. In this episode, Akari goes to find the other Cure, she thinks it is Chou but Akari isn't confident.
Kora, who is still looking for the other remaining Cures gets intersted at Chou, Akari's friend, thinking she is the one. Seeking this, Akari decides to follow Chou, and tries to convince her she is the other remaning Cure, Akari tells her, however she is not suprised, and having no intention, Chou declines her offer. Now, to make Chou's mind change, Akari, and Kora think of a mission.
Since last night in which Kora had told Akari to find the other Cure, Akari then was tired and slept. The next day, Akari woke up, and was fast, as she was late, thn she saw that her parents had made a note, as it said that they would come after three days, because of their trip to South Korea. Then Akari went to school, with Kora hidden. While walking, Chou, came as she was saying to do a race, Akari then said so, and then were ready. They started the race, but Kora then fell in the street alone. While running, Akari noticed that she had lost Kora and came back without thinking that Chou was with her. She took Kora, as Kora hitted Akari's face. Chou then wondered about it, and asked. But then Akari exlclamied as it was a plush doll, in which the air blowed. Then they ran again to school.
While some classes had passed, it was gym time, and they were playing. Kora and Akari were seeing Chou how she played, and Kora said if, Chou was the one. Akari hearing it then started to sneak up on Chou.
While sneaking up on her, Akari was feeling if she was doing a mistake, and then Chou saw her following and then asked her why. Akari had no way but to explain it, she said if she was a Pretty Cure, which made Chou shocked. Akari said that she would be an amazing one, with her but, Chou said she didn't want to, and left. Akari became sad, and went away. Kora asked as why would Chou not like it, and how they were friends. Akari then told her a story, as she said...
"Chou was a lonely person, as she had no friends, because of her parents moving many times. Once they moved at Rainbow Town, Chou saw me, and we became good friends. After going threw many years, we were in fourth grade. As in bad luck, Chou had an acident with a bicycle, as she hitted a tree. She went to the hospital, and stayed there for months, after some months, her father went away to China for buisness, while my parents decided to move away. Chou then was alone with her mother only. After some years, i decided to go back to the town, and i went to school, then suddenly i saw Chou alone. Seeking her like that i ran at her, and hugged her, then i introduced her to Aoi, and Maemi, and then they became her friends."
Then Kora got suprised but happy. In the end of school, everyone went home, as Akari, and Kora saw Chou. Then suddenly they heard a shouting from the school, which made the girls shocked....

Here are two suggestions for imports.
1) It would be really cool to be have named package imports:
import com.pkg.whatever as whatev
val x = whatev.somePackageLevelFunction()
You can already do that with objects, but sometimes you don't want to group your function within objects and have to use import com.pkg.whatever.WrapperObject.* a lot internally. Especially since auto-completion does not kick in.
import com.pkg.whatever.WrapperObject.*
2) Extension methods could use some import-level support.
It's not rare that I want to import all extensions to a type X from a certain package. But I can't do that, you either import everything (import com.pkg.*) or you must import your extension methods one by one.
import com.pkg.*
You could put all extensions methods in a separate package (and it's really nice that you don't need to put them in a separate folder!), but again, internally you'll need to use import com.pkg.xextensions.* a lot).
import com.pkg.xextensions.*
It could look something like this:
import com.pkg.(X) // import all extension methods for X defined in `com.pkg`
First paragraph look like very useful feature for developers how like write functional code.
fun's ....
typealias f = Func
import org.app.domain as d
import org.app.presenter as p
fun main (args: Array<String>) {
I don't have the time to write one right now, but if someone does, I'm willing to review it.
By the way Scala has package aliases:
import java.util.{concurrent => c}
val future = new c.CompletableFuture
If Kotlin wants to be best multi paradigm (FP) language, it's +1 reason for aliases.
I agree that current mechanism where you can import function as with name change is pretty wired:/ and I would prefer import some package and name it
Currently it looks this way:
import func1.doSth as f1
import func2.doSth as f2
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
And when I am naming the function then I am doing it for reason. I don't want anyone to use it with a different name. It is really confusing. In case of name conflict, I would prefer to prefix function with some name that will tell which function is that.
I think it's already supported:
import java.math.BigInteger as BigInt
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
val a = BigInt("233")
println(a + BigInt("666"))
When you're confronted with some problems, RTFM first
Named imports are possible for classes, not for packages.Understand The Fucking Post first?
Well, I apologize for my carelessness.And I don't have any idea about named imports for packages.

Unanswered: cell phone internet browser
when people access my website from a cellphone, i want them to automatically be redirected to a more simplified version (no java, no pictures etc ect. ) of my website
I can do this with checking the user's browser correct?
I need to have an if statement that checkes to see that it is a PC browser and an "else" statement that redirects to the simplified version.
In the "if" statement that checks for PC broswers, what options are there? Internet explorer, netscape, mozilla.... What else?
I don't want to miss any types of browsers and accidently redirect PC users to the cellphone version...
Can anyone help me out

I used to do it that way round - then I figured it works better to just redirect the cell phone users, and display the normal page otherwise.
I.e. if someone comes to the site and their browser does not match the filter - they will get the normal site. IMHO this is better as usually most visitors come via full browsers, not cell phones.

Modconf does already come with recoded strings for .UTF-8 locale, and they is shown almost correctly using "dialog". I just tried - it does finaly work as expected. Now, I am going to make modifications to make locales work in modconf again. Gruss/Regards, Eduard. -- Lieber ein Pinguin, der läuft, als ein Fenster, das hängt.

MTA offers more commuter services for Thanksgiving holiday
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is adjusting schedules and fares next week to accommodate Thanksgiving holiday travelers.
For Long Island Rail Road riders, off-peak ticket pricing will be in effect Thursday through Sunday to get travelers in the holiday spirit. The Family Fare discount will also be in effect all four days, meaning up to four kids ages 5-11 can ride one-way for $1 when accompanied by a ticket-holding parent or guardian.
On Wednesday, there will be nine extra eastbound trains running from Penn Station in the afternoon to handle the anticipated preholiday rush home, the MTA said.
For Long Islanders going to and from New York City on Thanksgiving, 17 trains are being added, including six additional westbound trains and 11 more eastbound trains.
The schedule returns to normal Friday, Nov. 29, with off-peak fares still in effect.
On Saturday, Nov. 30, and Sunday, Dec. 1, four westbound trains and six eastbound trains will be added to the regular weekend schedule. Those additional trains will continue to be offered for the next five weekends, through the weekend of Jan. 4-5, "to make travel to and from the city more convenient," the MTA said.
Metro North has also announced a beefed-up holiday schedule with more trains coming in and out of the city that will carry more cars than usual. Metro-North said it expects to carry more than 100,000 customers on Thanksgiving, making it the busiest holiday of the year.
In the city, subways and buses will operate on a Sunday schedule on Thanksgiving. According to the MTA, the closest subway stations to the start of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade are the 1 train at 79th Street and the C train at 81st Street.
Routine maintenance and construction work on all MTA bridges and tunnels will be suspended to ease congestion for holiday travelers from noon on Wednesday through early morning hours on Monday, Dec. 2.
More information about holiday schedule changes can be found at www.mta.info.

A Constraint..I'll have to test tomorrow
(ColB IS NOT NULL AND ColA <> 'XXX')
You could write a trigger if I can't get this to work
Look up Constraints, or Create Table in Books Online
Do you know what that is?Brett

This should work.
CREATE TABLE DaTable( ... ColumnA CHAR(20), ColumnB INT, ... CONSTRAINT MyConstraintName CHECK (ColumnA <> 'xxx' OR (ColumnA = 'xxx' AND ColumnB IS NOT NULL)), ... )
With a CHECK CONSTRAINT, the rule is enforced on all records, present or future.
With a trigger, you have to "touch" (UPDATE) all present records or they won't get validated.

I was shocked to read this morning of the recent theft of a Jack Lewis painting from the President Home at Wesley College in Dover. The painting (appraised at $4500) depicts the home on South State Street and was commissioned by the home's owners 12 year's ago. Jack Lewis is a beloved painter in the community of Dover and the state of Delaware. The painting is believed to be stolen earlier this year during renovations of the home and change of college president.
The home on South State Street, Dover that is depicted in the stolen painting.
Police are currently searching for the painting and the sticky fingers who stole it. If you have any information as to the whereabouts of this painting please contact Dover police at 736-7111 or Delaware Crime Stoppers at (800) TIP-3333.

Quarter Back is a monthly feature looking back at the movies of 25 years ago. At least one film will be watched for the first time, while others may be revisited.
The idea of a "summer movie season" wasn't even a decade old in 1984.
Of course, films had always been released in the warmer months, but only in 1975 did studios think to release their most big-budget, effects-heavy blockbusters when the kids were out of school. Jaws pretty much started the trend, and director Steven Spielberg would run with the idea, owning many summers to come. So it was no surprise to see his first sequel, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, land on Memorial Day weekend.
Unlike today's blockbusters, Temple of Doom pretty much had the month to itself. Summer starts much earlier these days.
In May 2009, with the actual solstice still a month away, we've seen five - FIVE! - monster prequel/sequels, not to mention the biggest animation release of the year. Twenty-five years ago, the competition was a relative unknown named John Hughes making his directorial debut, Robert Redford cleating up for a period baseball drama, and a destined-to-last-forever fad getting Hollywood love.
Featured Movies
The Bounty
Release date: May 4, 1984
Actors: Mel Gibson, Anthony Hopkins, Laurence Olivier
Director: Roger Donaldson (No Way Out, Cocktail, The Bank Job)
Box office: $8.6 million (#86 in 1984)
Going into The Bounty, I had little knowledge of the William Bligh/Fletcher Christian story beyond name recognition. Immediately after the credits rolled, I spent an hour on Wikipedia learning more about the men, the 1789 Royal Navy mutiny they are famous for, and the extended history and repercussions of the event.
That's a compliment to the film.
Hopkins stars as Bligh, a sea captain sent to transport fruit from Tahiti to Britain (not the sexiest of assignments). However, once his crew experienced the oceanfront paradise, getting them to leave proved more difficult than anticipated. Mel Gibson, at the time known only as Mad Max, provided the foil as leader of the mutineers.
Ok, first - what a cast. Hopkins and Gibson in the leads, then-unknowns Daniel Day-Lewis and Liam Neeson in smaller parts. And did I mention the unsupported cast? And yes, I mean UNsupported - because there are more boobs on display here than in the average porno.
I'm not sure what the ratings board was smoking, if they really thought the Tahitian "natives" were straight out of National Geographic and not paid actors, but this is easily the most flesh-baring PG-rated movie in history. The PG-13 rating, which wouldn't arrive for a few more months, is widely credited to Temple of Doom and Gremlins, but I can't help but think this played a part (it would easily garner an R today).
Really, I just can't believe I wasn't clued into this flick as a kid - my parents would have seen the PG rating, and I'd have retired to the back room with a ticket marked "Destination: Boob City."
Oh, yeah - Hopkins, Gibson, Day-Lewis, Neeson. Solid flick. A bit dated (Vangelis soundtrack noted), but solid. Grade: B+
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
Release date: May 23, 1984
Actors: Harrison Ford, Kate Capshaw
Director: Steven Spielberg
Box office: $179.9 million (#3 in 1984)
Of course I'd seen this one before, but this was the first time I've watched it from beginning to end in 20 years. And you know what? Not nearly as disappointing as I remember.
I guess anything looks better after Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, but this one could potentially beat Last Crusade as the series' silver medal effort. Of course, that underlines one of the sneaky secrets of Indiana Jones - the infamous character has only appeared in one great film. For such a legendary, world-renowned name - that's it. A single one.
Temple of Doom gets bonus points, though, for a few reasons. First, it's unrelentingly dark. Seriously, I remember being freaked out when I was a kid, but I'm surprised I didn't see Thuggie skulls every time I closed my eyes. Second, speaking of kids, it's the only film I can think of to successfully introduce a child partner for its hero. And lastly, it's the only movie where Indiana Jones actually accomplishes something.
Think about it. In Raiders of the Lost Ark, whether Indy had been there or not, the Nazis would have opened the Ark and exploded/melted amidst the wrath of God. In Last Crusade, the Nazis would have found the Holy Grail and tried to escape with it, once again falling prey to the earthquakes/wrath of God (Indy only helped minimally by - and I've never understood this - disabling some of the booby traps so anybody following could easily pass). And in Crystal Skull, the, uh, what the hell happened at the end again? Something about aliens. Goddamn aliens. That's all I remember. But it would have happened with or without his help.
Anyway, Indy is proactive in this film. Without him, those kids would still be working in that damn mine today. Grade: B+
Other films 25 years old this month (movies I've seen are in bold):
Alphabet City - According to the poster: "At 19, they gave him the streets and everything on them. Tonight they want it all back." So wait, "they" were 19? It was a real estate deal? They're Indian givers? I don't get it. Vincent Spano and Jami Gertz starred.
Breakin' - When I was in elementary school, our P.E. teacher let us bring cardboard to school so we could breakdance on the blacktop. Seriously. Even more embarrassing, I remember liking this film and its 1985 sequel, which were filmed back-to-back. If anything, they introduced the term "Electric Boogaloo" to American vernacular, and for that we should be grateful.
Finders Keepers - Michael O'Keefe was on his way to the A-list after The Great Santini (for which he was Oscar-nominated) and Caddyshack. Four years later, after the back-to-back-to-back bombings of Nate & Hayes, The Slugger's Wife, and this Beverly D'Angelo comedy, he was back to TV. However, bit player Jim Carrey would find his way to stardom a decade later.
Firestarter - At the time of release, I remember being shocked by this movie. Not because I actually saw it, because my parents wouldn't let me, but because I thought it was illegal for children to appear in R-rated films. Dunno where I got that. Barrymore would appear in another Stephen King film a year later (Cat's Eye), but this is certainly the better effort.
Hardbodies - Kids today just don't understand. If we wanted to see boobs in 1984, you'd have to wait for something like Hardbodies to come on cable, and then pray your parents wouldn't walk in. And if that wasn't available, we'd turn to the Playboy Channel, and try to catch an aerola through the squiggly lines. Now, it's just www.prettymuchanywordcombinedwithsluts.com, and BOOM! Nips.
Making the Grade - Judd Nelson and Andrew "Not Yet Dice" Clay star in this high school, or college, or something comedy I've never seen.
The Natural - I saw this Robert Redford baseball drama in theaters, and I'm sure I've seen it since, but memory fails. Of course, the final scene has been much-watched in my house, but there's a big blank where the rest of the film should be.
Sixteen Candles - John Hughes' first foray into the teen genre, which he would damn near perfect over the next two years with The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Those two films are the superior of Sixteen Candles, but it is funny, sweet and damn near decade-defining. Of course, it set me up for immense disappointment later in life, when I realized all Asians didn't talk like Long Duk Dong.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who complains about Indiana Jones's complete irrelevance to his own adventures in parts 1, 3, and 4. The funny thing was that many a critic or geek complained about this in Crystal Skull as if it was a brand new flaw for this fourth picture.

Youth—and Insanely Developed Delts—Isn't Wasted on the Young. Canadian Pro Regan Grimes Takes You Through His Superior Shoulders Training Routine.
George Bernard Shaw famously said, "Youth is wasted on the young," meaning that young people are in their physical and cognitive prime but lack the patience, understanding, and wisdom to appreciate it. It's only once we're older that we often realize what we took for granted in our youth. Yet this couldn't be further from the truth for 23-year-old Regan Grimes.
This young Canadian phenom has made quite an impact on the sport since he first burst onto the scene in 2012. Regan's full, round muscle bellies are truly incredible for someone so young. His bowling-ball delts development harkens back to a young Gary Strydom. And Regan's continually growing and making progress with every training session—it's like he grows right before your eyes! This kid's body may be genetically blessed, but it is also the product of hard work, determination, and a laser focus that you would not expect from someone his age. While most guys his age are hanging out in nightclubs or just spinning their wheels, Regan Grimes is in the gym grinding it out.
Regan rose quickly through the bodybuilding ranks in the Canadian provincial and national levels, earing a lot of notoriety in the Great White North. But it would be in steamy and tropical Brazil where this Canuck would earn his pro card, taking top honours with his amateur overall bodybuilding victory at the 2016 Arnold Classic Brasil. And he ain't done!
MUSCLE INSIDER: Has the reality of earning your IFBB Pro card hit you yet? What is that feeling like?
REGAN GRIMES: I think it has now. The reality has sunk in, and it's a dream come true. I'm excited to compete in the Pro League, but I know there's a lot of work to do. I'm still working with Chris Aceto, and we want to put about 15 more pounds of muscle on me before March. I want to be bigger now that I'm a pro, but bring the same conditioning that I brought before. If I can do that and keep my waist tight, I'd be happy.
MI: Now that you're a pro, do you have bigger plans than just competing—e.g., your own supplement line, franchising your gym, a clothing line, etc.?
RG: I would love to have my own show one day, promote my own bodybuilding show. So that's something I am working towards, even though there are a lot of shows in Ontario already. There are a ton of plans I have, and a lot of things I want to do, but at this time in my career, I want to focus more on building myself and a bodybuilder as opposed to the business side. I think I'll do that later on.
MI: Do you feel like being from Canada or living in Canada puts you at an advantage or disadvantage on the international stage?
RG: I think there are more opportunities in the US as far as having more professionals there and more shows in general. But I have my business here, so I plan on staying.
MI: What does it feel like to be so young and have your pro card and your own gym? You've already done so much—where do you go from here?
RG: Well, I just want to become a better bodybuilder, really. There's a lot I still have to accomplish onstage, but offstage as well; I want to inspire people, make them want to become better, and continue that journey. I'm not sure what the future has in store, so I'm willing to just wait and see what happens.
MI: Do you feel intimidated having to go up against the older pros like Fouad Abiad and Ben Pakulski in the Pro ranks, or do you think it's time that young guns like yourself, Dallas McCarver, and Cody Montgomery start taking over?
RG: It's crazy to think that Kai Greene and I could be on the same stage. I probably have a few years before I get that density and mature muscle that they have. I feel like the new generation is coming, but also some of the older guys are starting to retire, so things will change soon.
MI: What kind of impact do you want to leave on the sport?
RG: I want to be remembered as someone who inspired others to be better bodybuilders, but also in all aspects of life. I want to remind them that their dreams can come true if they work hard. I also want to be able to teach people how to work out properly; for example, maybe one of my little tips in this shoulder workout can help someone in some way.
MI: What is it like working with BPI as your sponsor? What is your typical daily stack when you're prepping for a show?
RG: BPI is great! I did my first event with them at the Toronto Pro, and it was really fun. Every Friday at 1 p.m. I take over their Facebook Live and do a live workout. That's a really cool opportunity and chance for people to ask questions and have me answer live. Next, I'll be working with them at the Olympia this year.
I like their isolate protein (S'mores flavour), and I'll also use their multivitamin, which also contains caffeine and gives me a nice little boost in the morning. I use their BCAAs, creatine, and glutamine after my workout. I also always use their pre-workout, 1MR, all the time. They have a test booster/hardening agent and a fat burner, which I will use for my Arnold Classic prep. If they come out with any new products between now and then, I'm sure I'll try those too!
MI: What advice do you have for competitors who come so close to getting their Pro cards and just need a little inspiration?
RG: It takes a loser to become a champion. It takes a loss to win. It's just a matter of putting in the work every single day. I got smoked at the Canadians, so I worked harder and put in my work because I didn't want to lose again. Just keep your head up and keep trying. I know I'm never going to be the biggest guy, but maybe the judges will like someone's shape better. So just keep trying and doing your best.
MI: With the Olympia coming up, do you have any Olympia goals in your sights for the next three, five, 10 years?
RG: I really want to be on the Olympia stage. The goal for 2017 is to get fifth place at all three Arnold Classic events, which would hopefully entitle me to enough points to make it to the Olympia. [Ultimately, Regan would not compete at the Arnold Classic in 2017, but did go on to compete at the 2017 Vancouver Pro and took 2nd place.]
MI: What would it mean to you if you made it to the Olympia in your first full year as a pro?
RG: That would just be
crazy [laughs]. That would just be another dream come true.
MI: Would you consider going the classic physique route? You can obviously add the size, but would that division be better than the 212 or open?
RG: I've thought about doing Classic Physique, but not 212. I would be way too tall for the 212s. When I won my Pro card, I was 232 at six feet, so for me to lose all that weight, I think I would get smoked because those guys are shorter and jacked. The Classic physique is a really cool division, but again, I would have to compete under 200 pounds for six feet, so it would never happen. But my goal is to bring those same classic lines to the Men's Open division.
Dumbbell Lateral Raises:
"I basically turn my elbows so that my pinkies are out, and when I raise the dumbbells, my arms are slightly bent. I have my elbows above my hands; I lead with my elbows so that there's more tension on the actual shoulder. I almost do them like a variation on the upright row, but slightly different. I usually hold at the top for one to two seconds, and do two seconds up, two seconds down. You can do these sitting down, too."
Overhead Dumbbell Presses:
"There's not much to this one other than controlling the weight. I never just throw it up and do a partial range. Some people do a shorter movement because it incorporates the triceps more, but I like to get a full extension of the arm on this movement. I don't lock out completely, but I go pretty high."
Dumbbell Shrugs:
This is one where I go up fast and then take about three seconds to bring it down. I also change up the angle from which I lift the weight. So sometimes I'll start with the dumbbells behind my body, beside my body, in front of my body. Each set I'll do from a different position."
EZ-bar Upright Rows:
"With this one, I like to lean over just slightly, and then basically just lead with my elbows. Because I'm bent over just a little, it pulls in the rear delt at the start of the movement, then the medial delt at the top/finish. I pull right to my neck on these."
Note: These can also be done with dumbbells, keeping the points of execution similar—i.e., hands shoulder width apart, keeping your elbows above your wrists, bringing the dumbbells to the chin.
Front Dumbbell Raises:
"I turn the dumbbell inwards as I raise it forward, almost like I'm pouring out a bucket of water, so my thumbs will go lower than my pinkies. I also bring the dumbbell across my body."
Bent-Over Dumbbell Rear Delts Laterals:
"I treat this one almost like a back row. I like to keep the dumbbell closer to my body, so that it puts more tension on the rear delt. My tempo is two seconds up, two seconds down for this one too."

What Is Design
Value Sketch:
Value Sketch are simple 6 x 6
inch drawings with shading to help formulate a good overall design
in your watercolor painting before you start painting. You then
transfer this value sketch to your watercolor paper to help
determine where your center of interest will be and the location
other important elements of the painting.
A Value Sketch could be a
small 4 x 6 postcard size basic drawing of a painting
you wish to complete showing the relative values and
positions or placements of the values you will be using.
This value sketch should be used in conjunction with the
Value Pattern 1-4 that you plan to use. You place the
values where they will provide the most
contrast and
interest for your center of interest of the painting.
This is a very important aspect of doing a well designed
painting in all mediums such as watercolors, oils,
pastels or pencil drawings. You will then use this value
sketch as a reference while you are doing your painting.
Place your shapes for foliage, houses, water and the
white spaces so that they overlap each other and utilize
oblique shapes to give motion or movement to your
painting. Try to use
interlocking edges on your shapes,
like a piece of a puzzle so they interlock into the
other shapes around and near them.
* These art design concepts apply to all
mediums including oils, pastels,
acrylics, mixed mediums, pencil
drawings, watercolors and photography.
1). You need to select a
pattern group for your watercolor painting. There are
several but you only need a couple different value patterns to
do hundred's of watercolor paintings. So pick one or two you
like and stick with then for a while. Then do a
Value Sketch
based on your value pattern and determine where the
center of interest (COI)
and your shapes will be located. Plan for the greatest
contrast in this area. The
COI is also a great area to plan for your brightest colors and
value differences. Determine the
shapes and shape values you
want in your painting and indicate them on your value sketch.
Use interlocking
edges, and oblique
thrust on your shapes and determine where your mid, dark and
light value areas will be.
2). Sketch your drawing
on your watercolor paper remembering to use proper
and a good design
composition. Plan your watercolor painting utilizing only
three basic values of dark values, medium values and light
values. Your medium values need to be
dominant and should cover
the entire sheet of water color paper from corner to corner.
Plan to save some white areas as there is no transparent white
watercolor paints. Make sure your white areas and other shapes
have two
different dimensions,
interlocking edges
and an oblique thrust.
These white areas are critical to a successful watercolor
painting. Wet both sides completely until they are soaked
or wet an area such as the sky. Either stretch the paper
beforehand or add clamps on the sides of your backboard to hold
the paper as it dries and shrinks if you are painting on a full
sheet of watercolor paper. This will stretch the paper as you
paint. The paper will dry in 12 to 15 minutes.
3). Paint the sky area
variety and
gradation and start adding foliage to your middle ground.
Use fresh paint each time you pick up paint from the pallet to
keep the colors glowing as they mix. Also do your mixing on the
paper. Put one color say yellow on the wet paper and then add
blue and watch the green colors explode on the wet paper. This
is a very exciting painting method.
4). Change the color
often to add
variety in color. Doesn't matter what color, just something
Now paint your large dark shape using
symbols for trees, rocks, buildings, etc. Use
interlocking edges,
an oblique thrust
and two
different dimensions on the large dark shape. Never paint what
you see, unless it's a landmark and needs to be painted that way
for recognition. Discard 90 % of what you see and only paint
10%. A watercolor paintings needs to have an abstract quality. Develop your own set of symbols for things.
This will make you unique as an artist. Be sure to vary the
color and
value of your shapes and symbols.
Use three sizes of shapes such as small, medium and large for
variety when paint trees,
rocks, buildings. You don't need a dozen trees, just three. One
large, one medium and one small. vary the sizes, heights, color,
value, widths and spacing between the three trees.
Now paint the ocean with a minimum number of brush strokes
incorporating cooler colors in the distance and warmer colors in
the foreground. The water should be done in the fewest number of
brush strokes possible. Three to five strokes for an ocean!
7). By now the paper is
dry and all you need to do is add the foreground foliage, the
palm fronds and you are finished.
Roy's watercolors are created
using the basic
principles and
elements of
design in art. Principles such
dominance, harmony,
gradation. Elements such as
action or direction,
texture and
value. Using
pattern groups,
value sketches
symbols will help you paint better
looking and more interesting watercolors.
These design elements and principles apply
to all art mediums such as oils, acrylics, pencil, pastels, and
mixed mediums, not just watercolors. Beginners and
experienced artists will benefit by adopting these principles
and elements of design.

North Korea's failure to meet yet another negotiating deadline raises more doubts about its commitment to get rid of its nuclear weapons. Other events of recent weeks raise disturbing new questions about U.S. policy toward North Korea. The Six-Party Talks have reached an impasse due to conflicting interpretations over the level of detail Pyongyang must provide on its nuclear weapons programs, a shortfall brought on by U.S. acquiescence to vague negotiating text. The most recent joint statement called on North Korea to desist, disable, declare, and dismantle its nuclear weapons programs. It appears that Pyongyang has added deny, deceive, and delay to the mix. And it appears that U.S. negotiators, in an attempt to shield the talks, concealed the fact that North Korea made an inadequate declaration.
The magnitude of the dispute between the U.S. and North Korea over critical aspects of the data declaration will make it more difficult for diplomats to continue papering over differences. Instead, the U.S. and its allies must be resolute on insisting that North Korea declare the number of nuclear weapons and amount of fissile material that it has, as well as provide full transparency of its uranium-based weapons program and proliferation activities. Six-Party Talks participants should withhold additional economic or diplomatic benefits for North Korea until it fully complies with these obligations and allows verification inspections. It would also be prudent to prepare contingency measures, including the sanctions called for under U.N. Resolution 1718 and, in the longer term, returning the nuclear impasse to the U.N. Security Council (UNSC).
North Korea's Obligations
North Korea agreed in the October 2007 Six-Party Talks joint statement to "provide a complete and correct declaration of all its nuclear programs...by 31 December 2007." This requirement followed its February 2007 agreement to "discuss with other parties a list of all its nuclear programs [within 60 days]."
Beyond violating the December 31 deadline, North Korea remains in defiance of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1718 of October 2006. In response to North Korea's nuclear weapons test that month, the U.N. Security Council demanded that North Korea immediately rejoin the Non-Proliferation Treaty and comply with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) nuclear safeguards. The UNSC also decided that Pyongyang should "abandon all nuclear weapons and existing nuclear programs in a complete, verifiable, and irreversible manner...[and provide] access to individuals, documentation, equipments and facilities."
Conflicting Interpretations of Disclosure Requirements
The Six-Party Talks joint statements were flawed because they failed to delineate the extent of North Korea's data declaration requirements. The Bush Administration has stipulated that Pyongyang must fully disclose its nuclear weapons and fissile material, the extent of its program to covertly develop uranium-based nuclear weapons, and any proliferation activity with other nations.
North Korea claims it provided a complete nuclear declaration to the United States in November 2007, one month before the deadline. Pyongyang's official statement, that it "has done what it should do," matches private statements to visiting officials that it does not intend to provide more information. At that time, the expected deficiencies in North Korea's declaration likely influenced the U.S. delegation to decide against formally presenting the document at the next round of negotiations, which would have taken place in early December 2007. The need to keep sensitive details secret is understandable; but to conceal the fact that a declaration was made, and essentially negotiated, undermines the Administration's credibility.
North Korean non-compliance is not a mere inconvenience or speed bump; it is a brick wall that should halt further progress until completely resolved. The data declaration deals with the core requirements of the Six-Party Talks process; namely, full denuclearization and transparency. Described in further detail below, Pyongyang may have already crossed the red line drawn by the Bush Administration on North Korean nuclear proliferation to other rogue nations.
Waiting for the Other Shoe to Drop, or Waiting for Godot?
It remains unknown whether North Korea's intransigence reflects standard negotiating tactics or an unwillingness to ever denuclearize. If the former is the case, Pyongyang would be expected to raise the price for its compliance by resurrecting previous demands such as light-water reactors or a non-aggression pact. But the latter seems more likely. Throughout the negotiations, North Korean officials have indicated a goal of gaining international recognition as a nuclear weapons state and giving up only the capability of producing nuclear weapons in the future.
North Korea's defiant posture marks a rejection of Washington's efforts to get the regime to come clean on its uranium weapons program. With the ball back in the U.S. court, two developments have constrained Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill's negotiating room and increased skepticism about the nuclear agreement: the exposure of possible North Korean nuclear proliferation to Syria, thus crossing the U.S.-drawn red line; and the revelation that North Korean aluminum tube samples contained uranium traces.
The big issue now is how low the U.S. will go to maintain momentum in the Six-Party Talks. The Bush Administration, entering its final year and longing for a foreign policy legacy, will be increasingly tempted to accept Pyongyang's half-hearted compliance as sufficient justification to continue negotiations. The Administration adopted a firmer line on the data declaration only following criticism of its stonewalling about possible North Korean nuclear proliferation to Syria.
The U.S. may even claim sufficient progress to justify providing all economic and diplomatic benefits called for in the joint statement and convening a meeting of the foreign ministers. That course of action, however, risks undermining the potential to finally achieve a full denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
Verification: The Next Test
If the two sides are able to resolve the data declaration imbroglio, the next hurdle will be negotiating sufficient verification measures to prevent a recurrence of North Korean cheating. Several months ago, when there was still optimism over the forthcoming data declaration, a Bush Administration official downplayed the need for strenuous verification: "Most of it should be pretty quick if it meshes with U.S. Intelligence Community estimates." However, subsequent North Korean statements saying that it had produced 30kg of plutonium--significantly less than U.S. Intelligence Community estimates of 50kg--underscores the need for an extensive verification regime.
The Bush Administration, however, is unlikely to demand requisite verification measures without outside pressure.
What the U.S. Should Do
The United States should take the following steps to induce North Korea to comply with its commitments:
- Acknowledge the revised declaration when it is offered--however inadequate it may be.
- Avoid the past U.S. tendency to offer more benefits in an attempt to break the logjam caused by North Korean intransigence.
- Impose a hiatus on providing any additional economic or diplomatic benefits. Six-Party Talks meetings can continue, but they should not be "business as usual" until North Korea completes its obligations.
- Do not remove North Korea from the list of state sponsors of terrorism until it has fulfilled all legal requirements as well as admitted to previous terrorist acts. Reducing these issues to a nuclear negotiating chip would trivialize human rights issues, including the fate of Japanese abductees.
- Insist on adequate monitoring requirements to verify the data declaration once it is provided. An extensive verification protocol should include a sufficient quota of short-notice, "challenge" inspections of suspect sites.
- Request that President-elect Lee Myung-bak delineate and announce the linkages between South Korea's ongoing and future economic incentives and the concrete steps North Korea must take toward nuclear compliance.
- Integrate South Korea's unilateral aid to North Korea into the conditionality of multilateral Six-Party Talks process. Also, any deal should include World Food Program monitoring standards to ensure Pyongyang does not divert humanitarian assistance.
- Urge South Korea to impose conditionality not only on government-sponsored inter-Korean projects but also on South Korean business ventures, including those proposed during the inter-Korean summit.
- Call on China to impose conditionality in its economic engagement with North Korea, which is the latter's primary source of unconstrained financial gains.
- Ask South Korea to join the Proliferation Security Initiative.
- Implement U.N. Resolution 1718 sanctions against Pyongyang's nuclear and missile programs, and require North Korea and Syria to divulge the extent of their nuclear cooperation.
- Maintain international law enforcement measures against North Korean illicit activities. Sanctions should be maintained until the behavior that triggered them has abated.
- Closely integrate U.S., South Korean, and Japanese initiatives toward North Korea to enhance negotiating leverage and to secure Pyongyang's full denuclearization.
- Reject requests to convene a foreign ministers meeting or send a special presidential envoy to resolve the impasse.
- If North Korea does not comply with its obligations within two months, bring the North Korean nuclear issue back to the U.N. Security Council.
Six-Party Talks participants need an integrated plan to induce North Korea to comply with its commitments. With the cut-off of unconditional aid and business activity, as well as funding from illicit activities, North Korea would face a fundamental choice between isolation and economic stagnation or conditional engagement with benefits. Negotiations cannot be open-ended and stationary, since that would play to Pyongyang's goal of deferring international punishment and isolation.
Like an errant student, North Korea is handing in its research paper late and demands a passing grade. The U.S. should insist that negotiators don't grade on a curve.

Camille Pissarro Biography
Camille Pissarro was born July 10th, 1830 in Charlotte-Amalie on the island of St. Thomas, then a part of the Danish West Indies. Pissarro was sent away to boarding school in Paris at age 12 from 1842-1847. It was there were he augmented his school education by visiting museums, and was first introduced to the French masters. Pissarro returned to St. Thomas after he finished his schooling and joined his father's business. While he was living in St. Thomas, Pissarro befriended Danish artist Fritz Melbye, who encouraged Pissarro to pursue his art. The two left St. Thomas together in 1852 and moved to Caracas, Venezuela for a few years. In 1855 Pissarro returned to Paris with the support of his family to start his formal art training. Upon his arrival, Pissarro also attended the World Fair in Paris and saw the work of Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. Pissarro was greatly influenced by his work, and studied directly under him as well as with Gustave Courbet and Charles-Francois Daubigny. Elements of their work can be seen in Pissarro's early oeuvre.
Pissarro never ended up pursuing a more formal art education, but instead frequented Académie Suisse, an art school started by Charles Suisse where models were provided for the students to study. It was here that Pissarro met some of his contemporaries, Claude Monet, Armand Guillaumin, and Paul Cézanne. The group was brought together by their shared artistic visions.
Like many artists at the time, Pissarro lived outside of Paris proper in the country. He moved in with Julie Valley who would in 1871 become his wife and the mother of his 8 children. They were living in Louveciennes when the Franco-Prussian War began in 1870. Pissarro and his family fled to London, where they lived for a few years. Some fantastic paintings were created during this time that explore the growth of the urban in villages around London. When they returned after the end of the war, Pissarro discovered that much of his early oeuvre had been destroyed.
Pissarro began working alongside Cézanne, Degas, Renoir, and Monet. It was around this time in 1873 that Pissarro was involved in the establishment of a collective, Société anonyme des artistes, which allowed for public exhibitions of artists that were at the time not being accepted into the Salon. The first exhibition in 1874 was greeted with relative success, and helped to cement the Impressionist movement.
In his later years Pissarro embraced the printmaking medium, and joined the Society Painter-Printmakers, started by Félix Bracquemond and Henri-Charles Guérard in 1889. The goal of this society was to increase the validity of a print by displaying it alongside works of originality by the artist. Later in 1894, Pissarro also had some of his prints published in L'Estampe originale.
Pissarro died in Paris in 1903 being hailed as the "Father of Impressionism." Although he is not the most prolific of the impressionists, he had the most influence in the development of style and technique. He was survived by his son, Lucien Pissarro, a celebrated painter and printmaker.

Sapper Foster, from Whitehaven, was killed by small arms fire while supporting the 40 Commando Royal Marines battle group.
He was the third British soldier serving in Afghanistan to die within 48 hours.
The Ministry of Defence said that Sapper Foster, from the 21 Engineer Regiment, had been manning a fortified position to provide security to colleagues when he suffered a gunshot wound shortly before 7am.
He received medical help on site and was evacuated by helicopter to a military hospital where he died of his wounds.
In a joint statement released on Saturday, his family described Sapper Foster as "a loving son, grandson and brother who will be sorely missed for his crazy flamboyant lifestyle".
"His only aim was to serve in the army, for which he made us all proud," the family added.
Meanwhile, a second British soldier died on Friday after being shot on duty in Afghanistan.
The soldier, from the Queen's Gurkha Engineers, was killed in Nad-e Ali, in Helmand.
Lieutenant Colonel David Southall, spokesman for Helmand task force, said the soldier had been "engaged and killed by small arms fire". "Selfless to the end, he gave his life whilst supporting others. His sacrifice will not be forgotten," he added. The soldier's family has been informed.
The casualties follow the death of a British soldier on Thursday at a UK hospital.
The serviceman, from the 1st Battalion The Mercian Regiment, was undergoing treatment for injuries sustained after a helicopter crashed at a patrol base in the Nahr-e Saraj district of Helmand province on Tuesday. He was flown back to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, where he died surrounded by his family.
It was reported that the accident happened during a night-time re supply mission, when the aircraft's rotor blades hit a lookout tower and knocked down a wall next to where he was sleeping.
The soldier's comrades dug through the rubble for more than half an hour to free him, according to the report.
Major Ronnie Goodwin, officer commanding the rear operations group of 1 Mercian, said: "He gave his life trying to improve the lives of people in Helmand by providing much-needed reassurance and security."
Sapper Foster enlisted into the Royal Engineers in September 2008, going on to join Ripon-based 21 Engineer Regiment in May.
He went to Afghanistan on July 20, supporting 40 Commando Royal Marines in Sangin through a range of construction and combat engineering tasks, according to the MoD.
Lieutenant Colonel Bobby Walton-Knight, Commanding Officer, 21 Engineer Regiment Group, said: "Sapper Darren Foster was a young soldier with a great deal of promise.
"From the moment he arrived in the regiment he was pushing to get out to Afghanistan as soon as he could.
"He arrived full of energy, itching to join his fellow Sappers and was quickly in the thick of it in Sangin.
"He was with the regiment for just three months and in Afghanistan for just three weeks, but in that time he made his mark.
"His motivation, professionalism and his pride marked him out."
Britain presently has around 9,500 troops deployed in Afghanistan. The latest deaths took the total number of UK soldiers killed in Afghanistan since the US-led invasion of the country in 2001 to 331.

Liberia: aid workers appeal for immediate ceasefire
CAFOD's partners in Libera are calling for an immediate ceasefire to end the violence in the capital, Monrovia. Aid workers in Liberia say that more than one million people have been affected by the recent escalation of violence between rebels and government forces in the West African country, which has been torn apart by civil war for over a decade. Tens of thousands of people are fleeing to Monrovia to escape the fighting in the outlying villages and are seeking refuge in football stadiums and schools. Fighting has also been reported in the capital. More than 5,600 unaccompanied children, some as young as five, have been pouring into shelters run by CAFOD's partners over the past week. Thousands more children are expected to arrive over the coming days. The recent fighting - which coincides with peace talks in Ghana - has plunged 65 percent of the country into a state of high insecurity and economic hardship, with the result that thousands of children have been separated from their parents and face constant harassment and possible recruitment as child soldiers. Reception centres and night shelters in Monrovia have become so overcrowded in the past week that six new shelters have been opened to provide temporary shelter for homeless children. CAFOD's partners provide urgently-needed food, medicines, safe drinking water, shelter and counselling for children who have been traumatised by years of violence. They are calling for an immediate ceasefire and for an international peace-keeping force to be deployed immediately with a clear mandate to monitor and enforce the ceasefire. David Baines, CAFOD's programme accompanier for Sierra Leone, Liberia and Ghana, said: "Fighting has been ongoing and this latest crisis in Liberia has the potential to destabilise the whole region. The stakes are so high and there are horrendous human rights abuses going on. Children as young as five and six are being rounded up and recruited as soldiers. The cycle of violence has been ongoing on for years and at the end of the day, it is the citizens who get caught in the middle." "This latest emergency shows the need for the international community to support a coherent peace strategy for the whole region. Unless this violence is contained, there is a very real threat that this entire region will become embroiled in conflict with all the economic and humanitarian consequences that we have seen in Sierra Leone."
