We know you care about your health. You're reading a food blog from a company devoted to delivering natural, wholesome food. But what you may not realize is that by considering your eating habits now, you may be able to prevent serious ailments later. Many of the leading health issues today are directly related to our nutrition. Heart disease, stroke, diabetes, hypertension, digestive and gastrointestinal disorders, obesity, osteoporosis, kidney damage, and even cancer can be avoided with modifications to our eating habits and lifestyle. We often fail to see how what we eat directly impacts how we feel. As we improve our nutrition, we improve our wellbeing, and overall health. At Beetnik, we try to accommodate the needs of the modern working American by providing simple, balanced solutions to the major issues facing the average person's nutrition. Some of the contributing factors to why we aren't taking our health more seriously include lack of time, lack of money, and portion control. We often fail to see just how important the food we eat can be in the long run.
The common threads between many of these disorders are issues with fats, sodium, gluten, portions, and sugars that can be very detrimental.
You know the drill. You know why these things are bad, but do you know how to fix them? Maybe you do. Maybe you've read every article, newsletter, and health blog out there. But if you're still looking for a little help, we're here to guide you. Here at Beetnik, we truly do care about these things. Our nutritionist, Allison, reviews every meal and every recipe before it even gets the chance to enter your mouth. We want you to succeed in your dietary plans, and we've got a few ideas of where to start.

14 October 2014, Writing Ideas - New Novel, part 187, still more Legal-Historical Method and Other's Conversation, Methods of Revelation How to Develop Storyline, Rising Action
Announcement: My editor sent a round of emails last night concerning the back cover materials. That included the book teaser and the author bio. They looked good. They also sent the covers for the individual novels. I'll put up the covers when I can. The proposed 3 in1 cover and info can be found at www.ancientlight.com. I'll keep you updated. I should have three new books out soon.
Introduction: I wrote the novel Aksinya: Enchantment and the Daemon. This was my 21st novel and through this blog, I gave you the entire novel in installments that included commentary on the writing. In the commentary, in addition to other general information on writing, I explained, how the novel was constructed, the metaphors and symbols in it, the writing techniques and tricks I used, and the way I built the scenes. You can look back through this blog and read the entire novel beginning with http://www.pilotlion.blogspot.com/2010/10/new-novel-part-3-girl-and-demon.html.
I'm using this novel as an example of how I produce, market, and eventually (we hope) get a novel published. I'll keep you informed along the way.
The four plus one basic rules I employ when writing:
1. Don't confuse your readers.
2. Entertain your readers.
3. Ground your readers in the writing.
4. Don't show (or tell) everything.
5. Immerse yourself in the world of your writing.
All novels have five discrete parts:
1. The initial scene (the beginning)
2. The rising action
3. The climax
4. The falling action
5. The dénouement
The theme statement of my newest novel, Valeska, is this: An agent of the organization becomes involved with a vampire girl during a mission, she becomes dependent on the agent, and she is redeemed.
Here is my proposed cover for Valeska:
The purpose of a novel is to reveal the protagonist and usually the protagonist's helper, the author needs to place them in circumstance that allows them to reveal themselves. The means can be conversation, exploration, discovery, other's conversation, confession, accidental discovery.
There are three ways to know truth: the scientific method, the historical-witness method, and logic. Although the example I gave yesterday was all about a trial, the Legal-Historical method can be used to prove any event in history. Let's put it another way, the Legal-Historical method is used to prove historical events. Some events have fewer witnesses or evidence than others, so you can't prove every event, but you can prove any event that has sufficient evidence and witnesses. This is true of a trial as well. Sometimes it is impossible for the state to prove a crime beyond a shadow of a doubt--this level of evident and witness is true of other historical events.
In history, those things that are not recorded are the every day and the ones everyone knows. I ask my classes all the time if they could reproduce any church service based only on the information in the churches prayer book and their bulletin. The answer is always no. There is not enough documentation to describe the entire service as it is enacted by the people and the pastor (priest). This is largely true of any religious service. This is largely true of any led, hosted, or directed event. I use this church example because it is an easy one for most people to understand.
In history, we would like to know how each of these daily or weekly occurrences took place. Today, we have videos of services, so a historian can recount them and understand them. In the past, there is usually less documentation that today. The point is, that for even relatively simple and yet important events, like a religious service, we don't have enough data in history to perfectly reconstruct it. Historians wish we could. The understanding of religion and religious events in history is very important to the understanding of a people.
More tomorrow.

To get to know the modern campus radical is to lose respect for him. When you're face to face and he's screaming, there's a certain strange gleam in his eye. It's something beyond moral certainty. Anyone who has spent time around the "most religious" person in church has seen that look. No, it's moral certainty linked with ignorance, combined with an odd kind of pain, and culminating in a kind of feral desire to hurt you, to cause as much pain as he can.
I saw it in my worst "arguments" (if you can call them arguments) during my time at Harvard Law School in the early 1990s. This was the time between the violent campus unrest of the 1960s and the "intersectional" unrest of the 2010s. This was the time when campuses actively and proudly discussed implementing "speech codes," when the in-class shout-down was a favored tactic of the radical Left, and when your own colleagues and classmates would do their best to ruin your career if they found you sufficiently odious.
In many ways, I got off easy. Sure, there was the day when my own professor started shouting at me — that same gleam in her eyes — when I politely objected to her calling an unborn child a "clump of cells." There were the many days when my classmates hooted, hissed, and yelled as I tried my best to hold high the standard of Burkean conservatism. And I imagined that same gleam when my classmates scribbled feverish notes in response to my pro-life advocacy, calling me a "fascist" and asking, "Why don't you die."
That was nothing, however, compared with what a few fellow members of the Federalist Society endured. One person had his face pasted onto pornographic pictures and plastered around campus. In a few instances, campus radicals bombarded future employers — judges and law firms — with phone calls, demanding to know how they could possibly in good conscience hire racist sexist homophobes. The campus was overrun with protest, and every time the administration hired another "white male," the student body exploded. If we had had iPhones and YouTube back then, it would have been full of yelling, screaming meltdowns.
Even without the Internet, the nonsense grew so notorious that GQ magazine exposed the factionalism in an embarrassing article titled "Beirut on the Charles." The piece hardly made the campus look good. What within the ivy-covered walls seemed like justifiable outrage appeared, to those not so fortunate as to attend Harvard, a lot like privileged people pitching fits. So, for a time, the campus calmed. Hearts didn't change, but the radicals retreated, snarling back into their corner.
Each generation of campus conservatives can play its own game of "Can you top this?" A recent Yale grad can hear me tell a tale of conflicts about abortion and other weighty issues and say, "You think that's bad? My campus melted down over Halloween costumes." A grizzled veteran of the Sixties looks at both of us and says, "Sure, we didn't have speech codes, safe spaces, or trigger warnings, but on my campus, buildings burst into flames."
But while we can argue over who had it worst (the Sixties still win), to greater or lesser degrees we all owed our plight to the ideas of one man, captured succinctly in one 1965 essay that rocketed around the Left during his time and that today afflicts the body politic like a recurring cancer. The man is German-American philosopher Herbert Marcuse. The essay is "Repressive Tolerance."
I make no pretension to being a scholar of Marcuse or of the so-called Frankfurt School of critical theory. Others can write (and have written) about the malignant effects of critical theory on the American academy. I want to focus instead on a simple idea of his that still resonates with the Left today — unleash the forces of censorship and repression for the sake of the new tolerance to come. It is good (necessary, even) to be intolerant in the name of tolerance. There is no virtue in what the mainstream culture defines as "tolerance" if that tolerance will preserve the status quo. Instead, achieving true, new tolerance will require driving out the old. Here's how Marcuse began:
This essay examines the idea of tolerance in our advanced industrial society. The conclusion reached is that the realization of the objective of tolerance would call for intolerance toward prevailing policies, attitudes, opinions, and the extension of tolerance to policies, attitudes, and opinions which are outlawed or suppressed.
What followed was a dense and wordy exploration of a few central themes. Among them: Toleration of free speech is empty if there is intolerance of revolutionary action. That toleration of free speech ends exactly when speech contradicts or inhibits revolutionary goals:
This tolerance cannot be indiscriminate and equal with respect to the contents of expression, neither in word nor in deed; it cannot protect false words and wrong deeds which demonstrate that they contradict and counteract the possibilities of liberation. Such indiscriminate tolerance is justified in harmless debates, in conversation, in academic discussion; it is indispensable in the scientific enterprise, in private religion. But society cannot be indiscriminate where the pacification of existence, where freedom and happiness themselves are at stake: here, certain things cannot be said, certain ideas cannot be expressed, certain policies cannot be proposed, certain behavior cannot be permitted without making tolerance an instrument for the continuation of servitude.
Critically, Marcuse also believed that the "distinction between true and false tolerance" could be made "rationally on empirical grounds." Grounding his ideology in rationality meant that Marcuse saw his opponents as inherently irrational. Labeling opponents as irrational makes it all too easy to reach his conclusion, that liberating tolerance means "intolerance against movements from the Right and toleration of movements from the Left."
When Marcuse wrote his essay, he lamented that "no power, no authority, no government exists which would translate liberating tolerance into practice." In other words, since his ideas challenged entrenched power, by definition no power yet existed to impose this new tolerance. He was merely laying an intellectual foundation. Others had to make his dream real.
Enter the campus radical. In the 1960s, the mob was the instrument of intolerance. By the 1990s, the mob had gained tenure. By the 2010s the mob and the mob's children possessed enormous power and influence throughout the higher-education establishment, and that power and influence passed into Hollywood and into corporate America.
In some instances, the nods to Marcuse were quite explicit. In 2003, when I was a young lawyer in the volunteer network of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, I filed a First Amendment challenge to a speech code — "Acts of intolerance directed at other community members will not be condoned," it read — at Shippensburg University, a small public university hardly known as a hotbed of radical thought. In 2006, when I was the director of the Center for Academic Freedom at the public-interest organization Alliance Defending Freedom, I filed suits against Pennsylvania State University and the Georgia Institute of Technology. Penn State's speech code was even more blunt, declaring that "acts of intolerance will not be tolerated." Georgia Tech had an "acts of intolerance" policy that, among other things, banned "injurious" communications directed at persons "because of their characteristics or beliefs."
I raise these examples not because they were extraordinary but because they were typical. This was Marcuse made law. Intolerance of alleged intolerance was the very definition of the "liberating tolerance" that Marcuse dreamed of. Fortunately for the First Amendment, the federal courts have thus far been unwilling to "translate liberating tolerance into practice" and have struck down every Marcusian speech code they have directly addressed.
Universities were rebuffed, but the radicals were undeterred. Whether explicitly conscious of Marcuse or not (likely not; you can read any number of modern apologetics for campus censorship without seeing his name), the concept of intolerance for the sake of true tolerance had struck, and if the Constitution meant that public agencies, including state universities, couldn't be instruments of "liberating tolerance," then private citizens and private corporations most certainly could.
A university may be unwilling to fire a dissenting professor, but how many dissenting professors are willing to stay at jobs where they may face — as Nicholas and Erika Christakis did at Yale when Ericka had the audacity to defend the right of adult college students to wear the Halloween costumes of their choice — screaming gangs of furious students demanding that they leave the school? In corporate America, how many conservatives are willing to risk their mortgage or their kids' college tuition to raise even the slightest objection to uniformly orthodox expressions of progressive values?
In many ways, however, the modern Marcusian intolerance is even worse than it was 25 or 50 years ago. Then, the subjects were more predictable — the Vietnam War, the Johnson administration, and then Reagan and Bush, the Cold War, abortion and homosexuality. The lines were clear. Now they're not, and even some liberal professors tremble at the unpredictable potential wrath of their radical students.
For that, they can thank "intersectionality," one of the most incoherent and pernicious of the gifts the modern academy has given our contemporary culture. In a way, intersectionality is a joke made real. Back when I was applying to law schools, white students used to say that their application had a chance "unless it's up against a lesbian quadriplegic from Nairobi." The greater the number of victim categories, the greater the affirmative-action boost.
Intersectionality, in a nutshell, holds that your cultural and political power increases with the number of victim categories you belong to. As Nathan Heller of The New Yorker put it in an excellent exploration of the phenomenon at Oberlin, intersectionality "sees identity-based oppression operating in crosshatching ways. Encountering sexism as a white, Ivy-educated, middle-class woman in a law office, for example, calls for different solutions than encountering sexism as a black woman working a minimum-wage job."
Intersectionality puts a premium on "experiential authority." That is, the person experiencing the "oppression" gets to define both the oppression and the remedy. The role of less-oppressed allies, typically white progressives, is to defer to the experience of the more oppressed, learn from them, and support their struggles. That can mean that even liberals in good standing are blindsided by controversy, such as the Claremont McKenna dean who resigned amid protests and hunger strikes when she had the audacity (in a sympathetic e-mail) to tell a Latina student that she strove to serve those students who "don't fit our CMC mold."
You cannot question the victim. You must support the victim. And (here's the hidden shout-out to Marcuse) intolerance in the name of tolerance works to advance social justice.
It's entirely possible, however, that the very subjectivity and capriciousness of intersectionality may be its downfall — and that Marcusian intolerance could once again go into remission. The power and limits of Marcuse's grandchildren were on full display at Middlebury College in March, when student demonstrators disrupted a speech by American Enterprise Institute scholar Charles Murray, attacked him after the event, gave a Middlebury professor a concussion, and tried to block Murray's departure from campus.
The Middlebury incident came hard on the heels of a riot in Berkeley that forced the university to cancel a speech by alt-right provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos. A group of "antifa" (anti-fascist) protesters set fires, vandalized buildings, and even beat people in the streets.
In both incidents, arrests were few and far between (only one arrest was recorded at Berkeley; no arrests have been reported at Middlebury), and at Middlebury the administration hardly seems eager to hold students accountable for disrupting Murray's event. In this sense, campus radicals still have an unhealthy hold on college administrators. At the same time, however, there is a growing recognition that the radicals went too far. Middlebury professors united to pen a strong statement in favor of free speech, and apologists for the student radicals were scarce. Murray later held events at Columbia and New York University (hardly bastions of conservatism), largely without incident.
A sense of unease pervades the campus culture. Do the riots at Berkeley and the attacks at Middlebury represent the natural progression from the screaming protests that disrupted Yale and so many other campuses in 2015? Will the age of Trump give the radicals an even longer list of grievances and an even greater sense not just of moral certainty but of moral urgency? Will we see buildings burn, as during the Vietnam War, or will a blaze of bad publicity lead to a temporary retreat, as at my law school in 1993?
We simply don't know. But this we do know: that Herbert Marcuse still afflicts America, and even activists who have never heard his name live in the activist culture he helped create. Every shout-down, every screaming fit, every hunger strike, every economic boycott, every social-media shame-storm, and every riot furthers his legacy. It turns vice into virtue, makes hate great again, and creates new generations of men and women who want to hurt their enemies and feel morally righteous as they do it. Lurking behind the rage is his singular idea, which we should not allow to curse us forever, that America's "tolerant" citizens should be the most intolerant of all.

Truly growing the whole child includes a respect for the flow of energy throughout the body. At Park Maitland, we adhere to this tenet with a physical education and swimming program recognizing that body coordination, equilibrium, and flexibility translate to brain coordination, equilibrium, and flexibility. Our energetic teachers carry students beyond the simple task or game at hand, and build on their strength, response and reaction times, and affective skills, launching a dexterity that is priceless. Through kinesthetic activities like tetherball, soccer and swimming, students learn to navigate the field of sportsmanship and grow the endurance to withstand the pressures of an organized game. Our hope is that they carry these lessons into their adulthood, as we root our curriculum in the knowledge that healthy and active children become productive and well-balanced adults.
On the field students are given the opportunity to soar as they become a part of Park Maitland's interscholastic athletics family. Our coaches foster a deep-seated dedication and commitment to teamwork and organized sports. Woven into the fabric of their Eagles' jerseys, our students grow in integrity, endurance, confidence and physical strength. Over the years, we have grown our athletics offering to include basketball, soccer, volleyball, track and field, and flag football. This allows every student who desires an additional physical outlet a choice for expression. Our athletes bring the innovation they ignite in the classroom into the arena, and new strategic thinking is born.

By Joyce Yu
Philadelphia, PA–U.S. stocks rebounded Wednesday after massive market selloff sparked by fears over Italy's political turmoil and renewed US-China trade tensions. Some policy matchers expressed concerns over Sino-U.S. trade relationship ahead of a scheduled meeting between Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and the Chinese side, blaming the irresolution coming from lasting divisions within Trump's team.
China and the U.S. reached an initial agreement earlier this month with China agreeing to "significantly increase" purchases from the United States, particularly buying more agriculture and energy exports. This is followed by a television interview with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin who said that the trade war was "on hold." Almost immediately, Robert Lighthizer, U.S. trade representative, put out a statement warning that major issues between the two sides remain unresolved, and that tariffs, investment restrictions and export regulations remained on the table.
In response to the White House's announcement, China's Commerce Ministry said in a statement that the announcement is "obviously in violation" of the recent agreement.
China has no reason to address issues brought up by the United States if the government's priorities appear to be constantly in flux, Eric Altbach, senior vice president at Albright Stonebridge Group and former deputy assistant US trade representative for China under President Barack Obama, told CNN.
"When the leadership of the trade agenda is oscillating between Mnuchin and Lighthizer, it doesn't motivate anyone — particularly the Chinese — to start making major concessions," Altbach said.
One of President Donald Trump's chief tactics in negotiations has been unpredictability and he's also made a habit of threatening unilateral action to try to gain leverage in trade disputes, as noted by a CNN report. "If we're trying to change Chinese behavior, these noisy signals aren't going to get us there," said Phil Levy, senior fellow on the global economy at the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and a former senior economist in the George W. Bush administration, in the same report.
The Wall Street Journal quoted sources saying that the Trump administration's decision to pursue the $50 billion in taxes could jeopardize a bilateral meeting to be held this week. A U.S. advance team landed in Beijing Wednesday to prepare for Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross's arrival later in the week. Some analysts, on the contrary, think this could be an attempt to gain influence ahead of those talks.
Despite some recovery in the market this morning, investors remain cautious for greater clarity. Rick Rieder, managing director of BlackRock said, "Considering a lack of discernible trading momentum, heightened volatility and a diminished ability to hedge, one might feel an overt pessimism toward today's market opportunity set," he wrote in a blog post last month. "Not us; we perceive a half-full glass."

Notes: I cut the opening announcement, I left one short announcement in so that I didn´t miss a count-in, and the announcementcut before Bad Company is not very good since the announcer went on and on and the audiencesound changed. This is a minor quibble though, and I think you´ll get over it.

The FM-broadcast last night captured this. Man would I have loved to hear the full show in this quality, but for now we´ll settle with this and enjoy it. I said to a friend yesterday while listening - it´s like listening to a 70´s livealbum, only it was made in 2012. And I was there. Brilliant stuff, this!

AUSTIN, Texas – The South by Southwest music festival is unlike anything else in the world. For four days, it's as if the entire music industry from all over the world descends upon downtown Austin, Texas, for a chance to experience all things musical. While it is primarily geared towards rock music, it is not uncommon for hip-hop, jazz and electronic artists to showcase their talents as well.
Unlike other music festivals, SXSW is a citywide celebration of music from all over the world. Austin is considered the live music capital of America, and maybe the world. More than 50 music clubs in a single downtown area host live music from early afternoon well into early morning, allowing more than 1,500 bands and artists to participate.
Walking down the main drag of 6th Street in downtown Austin during the festival, one enters into a cacophony of sounds emanating from every building.
There are many well-known and popular bands that play at SXSW every year, which this year included Iggy Pop and the Stooges, Bloc Party and Kings of Leon, among many others. But there are also hundreds upon hundreds of bands that only a handful of people know about, which is why it is such a great festival for bands to get discovered and listened to.
The music journalist plays a very important role at SXSW. After all, we are the ones responsible for creating the "buzz" about new and talented artists. This is why the festival embraces journalists from all over the place, allowing for even us small-fry college newspaper reporters to apply for press credentials and photo passes.
There was something terribly satisfying about covering this incredible event. There we were, two 21-year-old kids, being thrown into a press photo pit no less than 2 feet away from some of our favorite musical heroes.
We met other reporters from professional newspapers and magazines, we befriended numerous up-and-coming bands through a shared love of music (and alcohol), and we got a chance to interview and write about some really exciting people within the industry. It was like being in the movie about the teenage Rolling Stone reporter "Almost Famous," to be quite honest.
For this year's festival, we decided to take our coverage of SXSW into the digital age and go beyond the print edition. As a "new media" appears to be emerging through the use of the Internet (blogs, digital pictures and video, sound bytes, etc.) in the professional media realm, we decided it was time for The Hatchet's coverage to move in that direction as well and created a SXSW music blog.
After returning to our hotel each morning somewhere around 3:30 a.m., half-drunk and musically exhausted, we'd sit down for a nice early breakfast of French toast and eggs at a 24-hour Denny's with our laptops and write away on our fancy new blog until about 6 a.m., all the while posting pictures and uploading video.
We hope you enjoy our hard work (and our fun!) as much as we did, and we're already looking forward to next year's festival coverage.

The Twitter account for Ted Cruz liked a surprising tweet Monday night — graphic porn.
The liked tweet in question featured a woman watching two people have sex.
The Twitter account behind the tweet has taken advantage of the situation, tweeting, "Thanks for watching ted." They've also changed their Twitter bio to read, "Follow for the Same Porn @TedCruz Watches."
Cruz's camp has yet to issue the usual "I was hacked!" denial, but his senior communications advisor tweeted, "The offensive tweet posted on @tedcruz account earlier has been removed by staff and reported to Twitter."
Someone is getting fired.
[UPDATE: According to Frank Thorp V of NBC News, Cruz explained the tweet Tuesday morning by saying, "There are a number of people on the team that have access to the account & it appears that someone inadvertently hit the like button ... It was a staffing issue, and it was inadvertent, it was a mistake, it was not a deliberate action."]

A federal court has held Syria's government liable for the targeting and killing of an American journalist as she reported on the shelling of a rebellious area of Homs in 2012. The decision could help ease the way for war-crimes prosecutions arising from the Syria conflict.
Issued by the United States District Court in Washington, the decision awarded $302.5 million to relatives of the journalist, Marie Colvin. Of that sum, $300 million is punitive damages for what Judge Amy Berman Jackson, in her ruling, called "Syria's longstanding policy of violence" that aimed "to intimidate journalists" and "suppress dissent."
"Our hope is that this case in some ways will provide a blueprint for future cases against the regime" led by President Bashar al-Assad, said Scott Gilmore, a lawyer for the Colvins, after Judge Jackson's ruling was issued on Tuesday.
Collecting the money will be an arduous effort that, at best, will take years, Mr. Gilmore said. But more significant, he said, the ruling was the first time a court had held the Syrian government responsible for an atrocity from a war convulsing the country for nearly eight years.
The large size of the award sends a message, he said, that "the rule of law is still a force to be reckoned with," even amid a global trend toward authoritarianism and the killing of journalists like Jamal Khashoggi, the Saudi Arabian slain in his country's consulate in Istanbul.
"This stands as a really stunning rebuke to autocratic governments around the world who have declared open season on journalists and opposition figures," Mr. Gilmore said.
The ruling also provides a glimmer of hope that even with Mr. Assad's government close to victory in the war, Syrian officials could someday be held accountable for crimes like widespread arbitrary detention and extrajudicial killings.
Syria did not respond in court to the lawsuit, and Mr. Assad has publicly blamed Ms. Colvin for her own death, saying she had been "working with terrorists."
While the ruling arose from a civil-court lawsuit, it is considered something of a test case for a much larger, international effort to build court-ready war crimes cases for use someday in criminal prosecutions of Syrian officials. It is the first court decision drawing on a pool of smuggled Syrian government documents that are being used in criminal prosecutions of Syrian officials by courts in Germany, France and elsewhere.
The Colvin lawsuit was based partly on scores of Syrian government documents from a much larger cache of more than 800,000 records. The archive has been collected by a nonprofit group called the Commission for International Justice and Accountability, led by William Wiley, a veteran war-crimes prosecutor, and financed by Western governments.
The group is archiving the documents and using them to prepare cases intended to stand up in national or international courts.
While the standard of proof is higher in criminal cases, war crimes lawyers welcomed the success of the Colvin lawsuit as an indication that the archive contains convincing evidence.
The Colvin ruling, Mr. Gilmore said, "shows that the evidence we used — a mosaic of documents, defector testimony and expert witness analysis — can connect the high-level policymaking with how it's implemented by the security apparatus and link it up to a specific atrocity."
Generally, foreign governments cannot be sued in American courts for actions outside United States jurisdiction. But in building the Colvin lawsuit, Mr. Gilmore and a human rights group, the Center for Justice and Accountability, relied on an exception for governments, like Syria's, that the United States designates as state sponsors of terrorism. The judge ruled that the evidence presented by the plaintiffs was "credible and convincing," meeting the legal standard for a judgment in the absence of any response by the defendant.
The plaintiffs detailed, through government records and defectors' and other witnesses' accounts, how the Syrian government had made a policy of cracking down on journalists and their assistants; how security officials tracked Ms. Colvin through informants and intercepted communications; how Syrian forces killed Ms. Colvin, hours after her last broadcast from Homs, by shelling the makeshift media center where she was staying; and how officials celebrated her death.
Mr. Gilmore said the Colvins would search for Syrian state property that could be seized, from real estate to money owed in contracts to assets such as boats.
Ms. Colvin, a Long Island native who was 56 when she was killed, was a star of the British press, known for dedication and pushing the limits of risk to tell the stories of civilians affected by war. She was less of a household name in the United States, but the court's decision comes amid a wave of new attention to her life and death.
She was played by Rosamund Pike in the recent feature film "A Private War," and was the subject of a biography by a fellow journalist, Lindsey Hilsum, and a documentary by Paul Conroy, the photojournalist who was her longtime reporting partner. He was seriously wounded in the attack that killed Ms. Colvin and Remi Ochlik, a French photojournalist.

Another Work in Progress
A drawing I am (still) working on. It's seems like it's been a never ending fight with this one. I've been working on it off an on since Christmas. It's from Diana Wynne Jones' book "Howl's Moving Castle". There is also a movie out there by Studio Ghibli which I love just as much as I love the book (they're different you really can't compare the two).
I did the initial sketch on tracing paper, trying to get the perspective right, then I scanned everything into Photoshop and I've been "inking" it digitally. I'm going to experiment with a coloring process/style - we'll see how it goes. I keep changing my mind as to what Sophie (the girl) is going to be wearing.
I am still working on the others, but this one's been bothering me for months. I've been actively avoiding it and I decided that it was just time to grab the proverbial bull by the horns and "get 'er dun".
So yeah. My goal is the end of the week. I also have a bazillion costumes to make, too for this. Ish.

I think you have a wonderful start here, Sara. You've captured the emotional connection between Sophie and Howl and her expression is lovely. Ack! Perspective! The bane of the illustrating world. Good luck with that. It's been awhile since watching the movie but it is one of my favorites. I wish you the best with the costumes too.

Earlier this month, scientists from the University of Cambridge published an article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences titled, "Extreme positive allometry of animal adhesive pads and the size limits of adhesion-based climbing." This article said basically one thing: geckos are the largest creatures that can climb walls. Stephen Colbert lamented the study's finding on The Late Show, calling it, "a Ph.D. thesis on destroying my childhood". This means Spider-Man's wall-crawling might be impossible
Not to be outdone in a truly epic nerd battle, engineers from Stanford spoke up. This was far from a nerd debate. These Stanford engineers had actually built special pads that, when affixed to your palms, will support a person's weight and allow them to climb walls. Take that, Cambridge! In a YouTube video, one of Standford's engineers throws down and tells Colbert that the Cambridge scientists are just wrong.
...if you don't just copy the gecko but instead you are clever about how you distribute the weight... a human can climb a glass wall.
So, who won this epic brainiac smackdown? And did we really fund research into climbing walls like Spider-Man? Surely science can make geek fantasy come true!
The Science of Climbing Walls Gecko Style
The gecko's ability to climb smooth surfaces is due to the tiny, spatula-shaped, hair-like structures or seta on the pads at the bottom of their feet. The van der Waals force is a relatively weak force that holds molecules together by rearranging the way electrons are distributed. Though each individual hair produces a very small charge and force of attraction, the millions of striated hairs really add up and this allows the pads to generate enough electrical force to support a gecko's weight.
The gecko is not the only creature that climbs surfaces in this way. Seta can be found in bats, tree frogs, lizards, cockroaches, and (yes) spiders. Study authors, Labonte et. al., measured the size of the footpads relative to the body surface area of some 225 animals to find a relationship between the footpad area and body size. They found that the adhesive pads in mites, require 200 times less body surface area than geckos to cling to walls.
This has several implications, not just for Spider-Man fans, but for science in general. By figuring a scaling law, we can extrapolate how much setae a human needs to climb walls. In a press release, the Cambridge scientists announced that a human would need adhesive pads covering 40% of their body surface in order to walk up a wall like Spider-Man.
The reason behind this has its roots in physics: the scaling laws first discovered by Galileo in 1638. Smaller creatures, like ants, have a lot more surface area to volume but with larger animals, the situation is reversed. An elephant's surface area to volume is small compared to an ant. This has a few implications. For one, it means that if we were to increase the size of an ant, say with radiation, like in the movie Them!, body proportions also have to change. The legs of an ant will have to be thicker to support its new, more massive structure.
Bigger animals weigh more and thus need more sticky surface area to cling to a surface. As the ratio of body surface area to volume decreases with larger animals, there will come a point a large animal will not have enough sticky pad area, even if the entire body was covered, to cling to walls. Based on their calculations, the Cambridge scientists estimate that the humble gecko is pretty much the biggest size possible.
Wall-crawling (for real)
Two years ago, engineers from Stanford University published a paper titled, "Human climbing with efficiently scaled gecko-inspired dry adhesives," in the journal Interface demonstrating their wall-climbing abilities. Lead author, Elliot Hawkes (the same guy who sent the YouTube video to Colbert), is seen scaling a wall with his research group's gecko pads, a pretty daredevil move when you think about it. Basically, if you believe in the science you should be willing to break your neck for it.
So, was Cambridge wrong? Are they now inferior to Stanford? Well, not quite on both counts. The Cambridge scientists' calculations are based on gecko feet and the microscopic structure of those footpads are different from Stanford's. So while body size and volume are factors, so too is footpad structure.
The gecko's setae are special. The underside of a gecko toe bears a series of ridges, which are covered with uniform ranks of setae, and each setae further divides into hundreds of split ends and flat tips called spatulas. This allows for a lot of charge buildup along the length of the hairs and this supports the gecko's weight.
Stanford's wall climbing is based on something very different. Their gecko pad is covered with 24 adhesive tiles, and each of these is covered with sawtooth-shaped polymer structures each 100 micrometers long (about the width of a human hair). Each pad is connected to special degressive springs, which become less stiff the further they are stretched. As the springs are pulled upon, they apply an identical force to each adhesive tile and cause the sawtooth-like structures to flatten.
This means when the pad first touches the surface, only the tips touch, which means the surface is not very sticky. When a load is applied, the wedges lie flatter along with the glass and creates an adhesion force; the pads become very sticky. This design allows pads that can support a person's weight to be about the size of a human hand.
Glue is sticky. Gecko Pads are not.
We may be wondering what the big deal is. Does it mean we can all have spider-powers when Stanford finally puts their climbing pads on the market? Probably. But there is a bigger reason why scientists are so interested in gecko pads.
To make objects stick to each other, we use an adhesive of some sort that must be applied between two surfaces. Whether this is some sort of sticky tape or glue, we can only use these adhesives on dry, dust-free surfaces; you can not, for example, glue or tape two surfaces underwater.
A gecko pad is a dry adhesive and could, in theory, be used anywhere. More importantly, because it does not use glue, it can be used and reused indefinitely. It also means that no residue is left behind and this is important in certain types of manufacturing applications, e.g., in electronics. Understanding how a gecko's feet works will help us in many ways beyond making our nerd dreams of one-day climbing walls a reality. Until that happens, we just have to get bitten by radioactive spiders and hope for the best.

The recent performance of The Silent Anzac at the Whitehorse Centre, Nunawading, was a great success. There were not many dry eyes in the audience at the end of the performance. We were graced with the presence of Whitehorse Councillor Prue Cutts, Captain Ken Greig OAM RAN Ret, Colin & Val Hamley, President, 2/2nd Pioneer Battalion Association, Pitsa Binnion – Principal of McKinnon Secondary College and students Andrew and Mitchell from the Box Hill North Primary School.
The performance of the show was our third this year and it was very pleasing to see the level of interest in the show especially from our younger folk. The poppies laid during the show by Box Hill North Primary School students Andrew and Mitchel were handcrafted by students at the school and will be laid by the band at the Australian National Memorial in France in November this year.
There was also a lot of interest from our patrons with the WW1 memorabilia and poppies display in the Waratah Room with Captain Greig, Secretary of the AE2 Commemorative Foundation, remarking that he was impressed with the display and information on the AE2 that was put together by our John Hoppe. Captain Grieg was also involved in the search and discovery of the AE1 near the Duke of York Islands in December 2017. The AE1 was lost with all hands in September 1914. In June 2014, Captain Greig was a member of the "Project Silent Anzac" which conducted a final maritime archaeological assessment of AE2. The project aimed to preserve, protect and tell the story of AE2.
