A Pretty Good YouTube Spoof about Hillary Clinton: Sep 28, 2016
Here is a pretty good, and actually quite deep, spoof about Hillary Clinton. And yes.. I know that it is by Jenna Marbles- but look at the quality of content not the creator.
The spoof skewers HRCs pathetic and sad attempts to get millennials to vote for her. It also lampoons her health issues, general elitism, canned lawyerly responses to questions and general inability to talk convincingly about issues most people actually care about. Best of all, it goes after her sense of entitlement for becoming president.

Why Hillary Clinton is Losing in Polls to Donald Trump: 2
In the previous post of this series, I put forth the idea that HRC's continued downward slide in polls against Trump is largely due to unanimous support of her candidacy by elites and their upper-middle class enablers. I also mentioned that widespread loss of public faith in elites and their flunkies is not unique to USA and infact is one of the major trends that has arisen throughout the west in the previous decade. You might remember that I first predicted the rise of Donald Trump in a post on Aug 31, 2015– when the vast majority of journalists, talking heads and other elite flunkies thought it was a joke or a ploy to get a new reality show. I also subsequently wrote more than a few posts about the factors that have made Donald Trump's remarkable success possible.
And all of this brings us the inevitable question- Why is HRC such a remarkably unpopular politician? While more than a few of you will list a litany of reasons behind her lack of popularity, a close look at her public record and persona make her lack of popularity kinda odd. There is nothing about her public record or persona that makes her especially despicable compared to your average successful establishment politician in USA or anywhere else in the west. She is certainly not any more slimy or corrupt than other big name politicians such as Harry Reid, Dianne Feinstein, Chuck Schumer, Bush43, Jeb Bush, Marco Rubio.. well you get the picture. She also compares very favorably to hucksters like Ted Cruz and pretty much any other republican governor.
By all counts, her nomination as the democratic candidate and subsequent win in the presidential election should have been ridiculously easy. But as many of you remember, it has anything but easy for her to win the democratic primary against Bernie Sanders, a 74-year old independent senator from Vermont. Infact the DNC had to rig the entire primary process for her to "win" the democratic nomination. It is also noteworthy that Bernie Sanders was able to raise almost 250 million dollars in small donations from democrats and independents in order to campaign against HRC. So why were democrats and democrat-leaning independents willing to put so much money and energy to stop the coronation of a candidate who was not that much worse than other establishment democrat politicians and, at least on paper, much better than establishment republican politicians.
The establishment narrative and explanation for the remarkable fragility of her presidential campaign is based on the idea that people hate her because she is a woman. But is that really the case? Is her gender anything more than peripherally involved in her remarkable unpopularity among the democratic base and democratic-leaning voters? I should also point out that she was not always seen as an especially corrupt and dishonest politician. As late as 2008, she was seen as a very viable if moderately flawed candidate for the presidency. She also had far lower negative ratings during the 2008 democratic campaign than she has now. So what happened in the intervening 8 years? How did a reasonably well-regarded and fairly popular politician become somebody with extremely high negative ratings?
So, what changed?
Let us start by talking about what has NOT changed since 2008. HRC, you see, has not changed since 2008.. 2000.. 1996.. 1992.. who knows. She is acting like an establishment politician was supposed to in the early-1990s to early-2000s timespan. Her executive style and worldview are also deeply rooted in the late-1980s-early-2000s era when it was cool and very profitable to be an establishment neoliberal. Infact for most of the 1990s, many in the west seriously believed that neoliberalism was the only way. Moreover, the relative peace and high growth rates enjoyed by people in the 1990s (especially in the USA) were able to paper over the many systemic flaws and defects of that ideology. The first large-scale problems with the neoliberal status quo (9/11, Invasion of Iraq etc) only started becoming obvious in the early 2000s, but a credit and real-estate bubble was able to keep the lid on things till 2008.
But that by itself was not sufficient to make HRC, and others like her, so unpopular. I believe it was the response of the establishment (specifically the government) in USA to the 2008 financial crisis that put the proverbial 'nail in the coffin' for popularity of neoliberal politicians. As many of you know, Obama (and the democrats) promised a lot of reform in legally deniable language during the 2008 presidential campaign. We all know how that worked out for the 90-99%. The government in USA (and other western countries) used the 2008 financial crisis to bail out their financial backers and transfer the costs of doing so on everybody else. The post-2008 era has also seen corporations using "laws" and "rules" to speed up the financialization-driven exploitation of people in areas that were traditionally regulated or moderated to prevent that outcome. Furthermore, they also sped up the rate of replacing well-paying with low-paying precarious jobs often with no benefits- all thanks to various secret "free trade" treaties.
Consequently most people in USA (and other western countries) have increasingly come to view establishment politicians as irredeemable and incompetent liars who are incapable of improving the lives of the vast majority of those who voted them into office. While the public image of politicians throughout history has always been a bit sketchy, their voters did expect them to.. for the lack of a better expression.. not piss on them. Which brings us to the most important reason behind Hillary Clinton's abyssal favorability ratings. Most voters, you see, expect her to renege on every single promise she made about making their lives better. They expect her to work only for her extremely rich donors (domestic and foreign) and further enrich them while pauperizing everybody else. It does not help that her lawyerly parsing of words, or as I call it "anodyne" communication, is now seen as one of the main indicators of systemic and irredeemable dishonesty.

Why Hillary Clinton is Losing in Polls to Donald Trump: 1
One of the more interesting aspects of the 2016 presidential election is that Donald Trump is now either very close to Hillary Clinton, or beating her in battleground "swing"states, in multiple recent polls. Hillary's widespread slide in poll numbers in September has caused much consternation and hand-wringing among establishment democrats and their financiers- not to mention many white middle-aged women with desk jobs living in coastal cities. The HRC campaign has been in full panic mode since the first week of September.. and that was before her collapse at the 9/11 memorial service. Her campaign is now trying desperate tactics such as sending the cast of the preachy "west wing" TV to campaign for her in Ohio, more pathetic attempts to appeal to hip millennials and appearing with Zach Galifianakis on 'Between Two Ferns'.
Many democrat faithfuls are now openly starting to wonder why Hillary Clinton is almost tied in multiple polls with Donald Trump in late September, especially after supposedly besting him by 8-10% percentage points barely a month ago. I mean.. how can an intelligent woman with such a long history of "public service" and "policy experience" lose against a person who, in their eyes, has more in common with your used car salesman alcoholic uncle than anything approaching "presidential material". Hillary's supporters in the media, who are legion, have spent much effort trying to find factors for her seemingly irresistible downward slide in the polls. They have so far identified a number of potential culprits ranging from millennial idealism, Bernie Sanders, the low intelligence of the average american voter, white racism… you get the picture.
Now, I do not deny that some of these factors have had a negative impact on her poll numbers. It is however clear to me that her downward slide has occurred despite her campaign and supporters spending almost 250 million dollars (to date) on media ads against Donald Trump. It has also occurred despite HRC having almost unanimous support from the media in her campaigns attempt to denigrate Trump and simultaneously minimize the spread of negative information about her. In other words- massive amounts of negative advertising directed at her opponent AND the unanimous support of elites, mainstream media and pretty much every semi-famous person in good standing with the 'system' has not helped her poll numbers. Infact, this very high level of establishment support seems to have had a negative effect on her standing vis-a-vis Donald Trump.
But why is this happening? Isn't the USA full of conformist people who blindly follow authority while pretending to be rebellious and individualists? Shouldn't all these highly paid pundits, opinion manipulators, focus group experts and other assorted credentialed assholes be able to sell HRC to the american public- especially when the other option is supposedly a used car salesman who was lucky enough to be born to rich parents? And to be fair, while Trump has plenty of street smarts and media savvy- he isn't exactly the brightest bulb in the room. Why are so many people willing to give Trump a chance? Conventional theories about the popularity of, and momentum behind, Trump are based on one or more of three core beliefs: 1] His supporters and perhaps half of the american electorate are racist and stupid- aka the "basket of deplorables" 2] HRC is a really bad candidate for the presidency, especially at a time when establishment types have become unpopular throughout the west. 3] Trump is a master psychological manipulator – aka the Scott Adams theory.
Personally, I think that Trump's popularity is partly due to a combination of 1] and 2] plus economic insecurity. However the major part of Trump's successes is due to a much larger phenomenon that has to do with general loss of trust in institutions and professionals both public and private that has been going on for previous two decades. This trend was barely perceptible even in the late-1990s, and it started becoming obvious only in the early-2000s. However, even then, it was not exactly a major trend. It started accelerating around 2005-2006 and has now become one of the dominant trends of our times. While there are many reasons for its acceleration and spread, especially the growth of the internet, the single biggest factor propelling its growth is that people can no longer ignore evidence that western elite are incompetent, fraudulent, malicious and supremely corrupt.
It does not take a genius to figure out supposedly useful, objective and trustworthy institutions from universities and schools to hospitals and large corporations are run by people who are incompetent, short-sighted and frequently malicious. Similarly it is obvious that supposedly respectable professions from teachers, professors, doctors to people running non-profits and governments are full of barely competent and incredibly greedy people- frequently with some version of the 'god complex'. It is therefore no surprise that people distrust ideas and people supported by elites and their upper-middle class enablers. In other words, the waning of public support for HRC is mostly due to the fact that she is strongly supported by elites and their upper-middle class flunkies. The failure of her attempts to paint Trump as a dangerous idiot is largely due the fact that people simply do not care for the opinions of those they actively distrust.

On Hillary Clinton's Little "Health Episode" Earlier Today: Sep 11, 2016
As most of you have read or seen by now, Hillary had a little.. "health episode" earlier today. Apparently, she felt "unwell" at the 9/11 remembrance event in NYC and had to leave early, conveniently keeping her press entourage in the dark and leaving them behind. Now this would have the end of that story in the pre-smartphone (and pre-YouTube, pre-Twitter) age, but in 2016 almost everyone and their dog have smartphones with HD movie capture capability.
And then this happened..
I will write more about this incident later. Till then, have a look at something related I found on the interwebs.

On Ties between Politicians in USA and Saudi Officials Involved in 9/11
Since it is almost September 11, let me ask an inconvenient but very relevant question. As many of you know, the government recently had to release the 28 (actually 29) pages redacted from the original 9/11 report. As many of you also know, the contents of the hitherto totally redacted pages strongly suggested that employees of prominent members of the Saudi royal family actively helped the perpetrators of 9/11. Indeed, available evidence suggests that people personally employed by certain prominent members of the Saudi royal family might have gone so far as to help conduct multiple dry runs of the 9/11 attack almost two years before it occurred.
It is also no secret that elected officials, both republican and democratic, worked tirelessly to suppress the content of those pages for over a decade. It is also very likely that their efforts were adequately compensated by the Saudis. Many of you might recall that the two countries invaded by USA subsequent to 9/11 had either no role in that incident (Iraq) or were at best peripherally involved (Afghanistan) in it. You might also remember that USA-led invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan turned out to be extremely costly disasters which led to further destabilization of an already unstable part of the world.
My point is that there is enough evidence to strongly suggest that elected officials in the USA deliberately ignored the very extensive role played by Saudi Arabia in the terrorists attacks of 9/11.
And this brings me to the preamble of my inconvenient question. How much money did the Saudi royal family pay both republican and democratic politicians, over all these years, to ensure that they would keep suppressing information about the extent of official Saudi involvement in 9/11? How many other non-elected officials in the government were ,directly or indirectly, the beneficiaries of similar compensation by the Saudis? Perhaps most importantly, how many electoral campaigns in USA subsequent to 9/11 were the recipient of Saudi largess? Did, for example, the participants in the 2004 and 2008 presidential elections (directly or indirectly) receive campaign contributions to ensure that they towed their line?
All of this leads to my inconvenient question- Have either of the two major candidates in the 2016 presidential election (especially HRC) been the beneficiary of direct and indirect monetary contributions intended to keep them towing the official Saudi line?

On the Inability of USA to Stop North Korean Nuclear Weapon Program
As many of you might have heard by now, North Korea conducted another nuclear test explosion yesterday. Some of you might ask yourself- How can a country like N. Korea, which is supposed to be poor and largely isolated from the rest of the world, keep on developing nuclear weapons. Perhaps more importantly- Why is the USA, and the supposedly all-powerful west, unable to stop them?
Well.. here are the reasons.
1] The technology to develop nuclear weapons is not particularly complicated, especially if you are a sovereign nation with more resources and manpower than those available on a small island or archipelago. Regardless of what some pretentious white guys spouting technical jargon might make you believe, the technology and tools necessary to design and make a few viable nuclear weapons have been fairly commonplace since the late 1970s. Obtaining enough fissile material that is either enriched beyond a certain percentage (for U-235)or with impurities below certain levels (for Pu-239) is the single largest technical constraint.
Any nation-state with a decent level of industrial capacity and access to uranium ore can either enrich U-235 or build nuclear reactors to create Pu-239. It is therefore really about the willingness to do so..
2] Some politicians in the USA suggest that it is possible to exert pressure on North Korea through China. I however see this belief as an example of wishful american thinking. Think about it- Why would China care about what USA wants in this particular situation? What do they have to gain by playing along with such an american request? The reality is that China is too large and powerful a country to be bullied by the USA. Furthermore, there is an interesting precedent for their unwillingness to stop supporting the North Korean nuclear program. China, you see, is the single biggest reason for the success of Pakistan's nuclear weapon program. It also goes without saying that a nuclear capable North Korea is no real threat to China.
In other words, ensuring that North Korea has a modest nuclear weapon capacity is far more strategically useful to China than towing the american line and pressuring them to stop developing nuclear weapons.
3] Most people in USA believe that North Korea is very isolated from the rest of the world, except for maybe China. While that is true- as far as most of its citizens/ subjects are concerned, the government itself is pretty pragmatic about having restricted mutually beneficial ties with certain countries. It is therefore not surprising that the North Korean nuclear and missile program have ties with equivalent programs in other countries such as Pakistan and Iran. Some of you might be aware that the missile program of Pakistan received considerable help and support from its equivalent in North Korea. It is hard to believe that such an exchange was one-sided, if you know what I mean. Similarly there is some evidence that the Iranian nuclear program did benefit from the assistance of North Korea and once again, it is unlikely that there was no quid-pro-quo.
To put it another way, the government of North Korea is not made up of ideologically driven nutjobs who lack any significant contact with reality. They may be evil, but they are not stupid.
4] There are many advantages for sovereign states possessing nuclear weapons. For one, it makes you immune from any serious military attack from other sovereign states, such as the USA. It is no secret that possessing nuclear weapon capacity is the best way to protect your country and the elite system within it. The elites in North Korea know that they have no future if they allow the USA to pressure them into capitulating before their populace. They know what happened to Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi. They know that the USA would not have to be cause the current situation in Syria if that country possessed nuclear weapons. They know that Pakistan can get away with what they do largely because they have nuclear weapons. They know that USA would never be able to pressure Iran like it did, if it already had nuclear weapons.
Simply put, the benefits of having nukes far outweigh the problems associated with developing and having them- especially for the North Korean elites.

Interesting Links: Sep 1, 2016
Here are links to a few interesting articles I came across recently. They are all about how the "security" or "law and order" agencies in the USA (and other western countries) have become addicted to uncontrollable growth- with openly voracious and cannibalistic behavior. One of the linked pieces also makes the point that such growth creates new vulnerabilities for the host society which are far worse than the problem this growth was supposed to solve.
Link 1: Former Anti-Terror FBI Employee now finds Himself a Target
As a FBI surveillance employee, Ray Tahir spent the last decade tailing Muslims in counterterrorism cases. Among the investigations whose surveillance Tahir led were those of the charity Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development in Texas and North Carolina's Daniel Patrick Boyd, who with others was convicted of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists and conspiracy to commit murder, maiming, and kidnapping overseas. Both FBI cases had their critics. The American Civil Liberties Union described the prosecution of Holy Land Foundation as "discriminatory enforcement of counterterrorism laws." In the Boyd case, as in other informant-led FBI stings, there are questions about whether the men convicted would have done anything at all were it not for the FBI's involvement. As the FBI targeted Muslims in the United States following the 9/11 attacks, Tahir was among the front-line employees who made some of these cases possible. Now, he alleges, he has become a target himself.
Link 2: Leaked Catalogue reveals a Vast Array of Military Spy Gear offered to U.S. Police
A Confidential, 120-page catalogue of spy equipment, originating from British defense firm Cobham and circulated to U.S. law enforcement, touts gear that can intercept wireless calls and text messages, locate people via their mobile phones, and jam cellular communications in a particular area. The catalogue was obtained by The Intercept as part of a large trove of documents originating within the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, where spokesperson Molly Best confirmed Cobham wares have been purchased but did not provide further information. The document provides a rare look at the wide range of electronic surveillance tactics used by police and militaries in the U.S. and abroad, offering equipment ranging from black boxes that can monitor an entire town's cellular signals to microphones hidden in lighters and cameras hidden in trashcans. Markings date it to 2014. Cobham, recently cited among several major British firms exporting surveillance technology to oppressive regimes, has counted police in the United States among its clients, Cobham spokesperson Greg Caires confirmed.
Link 3: Hacking the US with only a Sound
Unlike the classic example of yelling "fire" in a crowded movie theater, this panic can be induced by anything that sounds/looks/feels like a threat rather than the claim of a specific threat (like "fire"). Nearly anything can set them off. Here's three examples of that over the last two weeks (there have been many more): JFK Airport- Unfounded reports of gunfire led to an evacuation of terminals. Police march passengers out of the terminal with their hands up. Police speculate that it was started by load fans of the Rio Olympics. CrabTree Valley Mall (NC)- Unfounded reports of an active shooter leads to a panicked evacuation of the mall. LAX Airport- Unfounded reports of a shooter led to people storming the jetway doors and spilling out onto the tarmac, people barricading themselves into bathrooms in multiple terminals, and more.
This public reactiveness may become the new normal both here and in Europe. If so, we can expect people take advantage of it. Here's how. All it takes is a single audio clip. Like this or this either near a public space or done remotely on a timed playback device is all it would take to ignite the FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) that leads to a large-scale evacuation. In fact, people are so reactive now, I suspect it wouldn't even take a sound that is explicit, only something that sounds similar. Think about this for a moment. The ability to shut down a public space for hours: anytime (just walk in and play the sounds); remotely (low-cost playback device on timer/remote activation); or on a large-scale (thousands of people playing the sounds on their smart phones in public spaces simultaneously)

Dynamics of Opposites: Hyperdialectic
What we call hyperdialectic is a thought…that is capable of reaching truth because it envisages without restriction the plurality of the relationships and what has been called ambiguity. The bad dialectic is that which thinks it recomposes being by a thetic thought, by an assemblage of statements, by thesis, antithesis, and synthesis; the good dialectic is that which is conscious of the fact that every thesis is an idealization, that Being is not made up of idealizations or of things said, as the old logic believed, but of bound wholes where signification never is except in tendency*, where the inertia of the content never permits the defining of one term as positive, another term as negative, and still less a third term as absolute suppression of the negative by itself.

Excellent post and this does not come from a fan of the blogging mutual admiration society. One reason I've identified why my blog is still confidential (beside reason 1) after 6+ months, is that I have "the bum between 2 chairs" as Voltaire would put it: promoting my coaching, exploring and experimenting with my new "niche" with the metaphor/archetype of Icarus :coaching young (less young?) passionate souls (the artist for ex) in a dispassionate (as over pragmatic) professional climate. So the need to be, look, feel pro on the one hand. On the other hand, I enjoy genuinely connecting through blogging and sometimes it's not so pro…carnivalesque even, with the breaking of boundaries (fool archetype) this mode of interaction sometimes entails: oops! But I don't think I would have learned so much about the people I am interested to coach without taking this risk. Electronic words stay, be careful of reputation, I hear from colleagues: Diderot's prudent 'esprit de l'escalier", for another reason of not being so well known does take over at times. A pity. I'm not the type to live a double life separating the pro from the casual, even though some limits in the right place are warranted, I admit. Does such a blog semi-pro, semi-blogging has a chance? We'll see. For the meantime, I am still enjoying the experiment.

Project Description
Adam Harvey
The more you listen to the beauty of Adam Harvey's smooth baritone, the more of it you want to hear. And there's a lot more behind this man which has made so many fall in love with one of the most effortlessly charismatic and down to earth musicians in Australia. Take the time to be introduced to Adam and the stories behind his journey to releasing his fifth album 'I'm Doin' Alright'; you'll get caught up in this guy's warmth, his disarmingly honest passion and his innocent but hilarious sense of humour. 'I'm Doin' Alright' is an inspiring collection of memories and messages delivered by a talented musician and true storyteller.
His affinity for the stage continued to grow. Despite the wage of "dim sims which were old enough to vote and a can of coke," while at school he used to perform rock covers at a blue light disco. His talent was spotted during those years, and having just finished his studies, he was offered a support slot on Tania Kernaghan's national tour, which led to a tour with Gina Jeffreys soon after. In 1998 he was approached by musician Tanya Self, who had been trying for years to get someone to collaborate on a song she was desperate to record, "I thought I was the only one she'd asked, but it turned out she'd asked pretty much everyone in the business," he said. Amazingly, the tune won a Golden Guitar for Best Vocal Collaboration, and soon he accepted a record deal. Adam can also tell probably one of the greatest rock 'n' roll tales of country music. After his initial success it wasn't long before his name reached Nashville, and he was invited to perform at the Grand Ole Opry, which began his great relationships with musicians and songwriters in Canada and the U.S. On one ensuing visit, the combination of many days spent drinking and hardly sleeping or eating triggered a heart problem while backstage. He remembers it clearly, "It felt like a heart attack, they rushed me to hospital and they had to zap my chest. And you know, when you get zapped by those things, every single muscle gets it, right down to your toes, so you can imagine…! It's like being struck by lightning." When he came to, the nurses were in hysterics. While people usually involuntarily yell out for a loved one or recite recipes, Adam's mouth spontaneously declared, "I love beer!" His journey to success hasn't been the smoothest ride. After an unsuccessful debut album having signed to a record label in 1998, he believed he had failed. "I just thought, that was my one chance gone, I guess that's it," he recalls. Ready to return to his day job driving trucks in the gold mines, he was saved when he met his now longtime collaborator Rod McCormack, who encouraged Adam to return to writing and performing songs. It is testament to his ambition and talent that he has picked himself up after every tumble, and in 2001 he arrived with Workin' Overtime – a smash which won him Golden Guitars in 2002 for Album Of The Year and Male Vocalist of the Year. Just two years later, he had racked up his sixth Golden Guitar and third for Best Male Vocalist following the release of his fourth record 'Can't Settle For Less'. And now having survived the ups and downs of his burgeoning career comes his aptly titled latest work, 'I'm Doin' Alright'. This record is a collection of experiences, lessons, thoughts and memories just as much as it is a collection of expertly crafted and intimately written songs. Adam describes, "This album took a lot longer to put together than any of the others. It's really broadened the way I think about song writing." Along with collaborations with prolific country music writers, 'I'm Doin' Alright' takes a "new, modern and fresh" angle on country music, thanks to input from a diverse range of talent including blues legend Keb' Mo', Guy Clark, Billy Yates, Phil Buckle (who wrote 'I'll Burn For You' for John Farnham), and Tim Henwood (ex Rogue Traders). I'm Doin' Alright showcases Adam's rich, extraordinary and instantly recognisable voice. 'Better Man' is a real standout with its fantastic arrangement and fresh chord progression. The first single 'Someone Else's Dream' is a deep and strong ballad reminiscent of Johnny Cash's 'Hurt', and a great example of Adam's laidback style exemplified by his relaxed phrasing. Tracks 'Way Too Fast' and the title track 'I'm Doin' Alright' are other tracks which support his reflective and philosophical direction for the record. Adam Harvey is a special Australian talent. With his captivating personality and laconic humour he has undeniable global potential in his ability to turn ideas into gems in the studio, and then turn them to gold on stage. Having just played his third gig at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville and winning the American Country Music Association Global Artist award for 2007, it is clear that people are taking notice outside of Australia as well. Describing the philosophy which drives his career, he says, "If people can come along to a show and feel good for a few hours, then I'm doing my job." Surely that's what music is all about. And with the talent, the attitude and the exciting new album 'I'm Doin' Alright', the world is truly at Adam Harvey's feet.

US sanctions against Russia to remain in place
The United States will keep in place its sanctions against Russia imposed after Moscow invaded and illegally annexed the Ukrainian territory of Crimea, U.S. State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki said on Monday, the BBC's Ukrainian Service has reported.
"While Russia is trying to establish a calculated and cynical 'liberation' of the Crimea, we confirm that the sanctions associated with the Crimea will remain while the occupation continues," she said.
"The United States continues to support Ukraine's sovereignty, territorial integrity and right to self-determination," Psaki said.
According to Psaki, the United States has condemned the last year's pseudo-referendum in the Crimea, which was conducted in violation of Ukrainian legislation.
"We do not recognize and we will not recognize the Russian attempt at the annexation [of Crimea], and we urge President Putin to stop Russia's occupation of Crimea," she said.
"In addition, Putin's revelation in the documentary about Crimea has proved the falsity of his policies," Psaki said.

Thank you, Cleo and Sultana for allowing me to be part of the herd.
Thanks to my therapist I am now more assertive and clearer of my needs and therefore more able to live a life that I want rather than what people want.
Although at the beginning I was very scared of horses, today I realised that the biggest fear was that I could be as powerful as the horses.

So, it looks like the Easter holidays are finally over and everyone's starting to trickle back to Leicester for the last term of the year. It's always weird being away from Leicester for so long over the holidays, 5 and a half weeks seems like an awfully long time for an Easter holiday, not that I'm complaining… I've been back in Leicester for the past week doing some group work for a couple of the modules I've chosen for this year. One of them is an essay on "Developing the Teaching of Proof to First Year Undergraduates" which requires a lot of meeting up with my group, but is actually quite interesting. We could potentially be moulding the way one of the first year Maths modules is taught, it's pretty scary, actually.
Before I came back to Leicester I went on a somewhat impromptu trip to Oxford to visit some friends there, it was an interesting experience seeing as I'd never been there before (didn't bother applying to Oxbridge for university). There are a RIDICULOUS amount of bikes there, you leave the train station and see a good 300+ bikes just locked up outside the station. I like cycling myself, but even with the university's new bike park that's opening this week; (http://www2.le.ac.uk/offices/estates/environment/travel/bicycle/bikepark) I doubt I'll see that many bikes in one place again. It was a pretty cool city, but I failed a bit on the tourist-y part by not taking any pictures. Some of the colleges actually charge tourists to go in and look around them, which made me feel really cool when I just sauntered in for free with one of my friends who went there.
It actually annoyed me a bit; my friend kept introducing me as "my friend Toby from Leicester." I kept finding myself having to correct him, as, although I go to university in Leicester, I'm a Londoner born and bred, and seeing as I went to sixth form with him, he should know this! That's Oxford students for you, though, eh? *cough cough* It could've gotten even more confusing if he'd introduced me to a Leicester local like that and they'd been like "oooh, Leicester?! Whereabouts?!" Then had an awkward conversation about how my accent sounds more London than Leicester whilst I explain the error in the introduction. I'm probably thinking WAY too far into this, but if I don't represent London, who will?! Yeah, don't answer that…
It was a pretty fun trip all in all, although I spent a bit too much while I was there, but at least now I can say I've sampled the sights in Oxford! Now that I'm back in Leicester it means I can see all of my Leicester buddies again and get cracking on some proper revision for my exams as I seem to be completely incapable of being productive while I'm enjoy the spoils of staying with my parents. Woo!

Vastu Energetics
To achieve smooth flow of positive cosmic energy through a confined space is a prime consideration in Vastushastra. Directions decide the source and sink positions of energy stream. The layout of the Vastu (dwelling/house) must be planned in such a manner that there are no traps or hindrances and the energy streams follow their natural patterns.
The above figure of "Vastu Purush" ( a living soul associated with the Vastu or a dwelling) indicates the critical points which can serve as hindrances in natural positive energy flow in any households.
There are methods available in Vastushastra to remove the effects of obstacles impeding the smooth flow of energy.
Two-stream theory is a powerful tool in Vastushastra analysis to assess the nature of energy blockages and related solutions. Here, the constant North-South electromagnetic flux is termed as 'Jaivik Urja' and the variable solar energy flux as 'Pranik Urja'. For 'Jaivik Urja' North direction is the source and South is the sink. For 'Pranik Urja' East direction is the source point and West is the sink. It must be remembered that sun transits from East to Southeast to South to Southwest to West during its daytime journey through sky. As such, the collage of energy patterns generated in a Vastu through a confluence of 'Jaivik Urja' and 'Pranik Urja' determines the qualities or virtues of a household from Vastushastra point of view.
On a larger canvas – gravitation, electromagnetic radiation, chemical energy, bio-energy, light, sound, vibrations, waves are all integrated into Vastu energy analysis.

Cows on McPolin Farm are damaging to Park City's green efforts
Click below to read this guest editorial written by founders Lauren Lockey and Dave Swartz for the Park Record.
Click below to read this guest editorial written by founders Lauren Lockey and Dave Swartz for the Park Record.
Planet Earth, just like us, is a living breathing organism and just like humans when it gets sick, it heats up to kill the virus (disease). Well, right now our planet is sick, very sick and it's heating up big time to kill the disease and that disease is us, humans!
The instances of larger hurricanes, tornadoes, wildfires, airborne diseases, dirty/lack of water and rampant violence are a direct result of the human species taking more than we are giving back. When I was born in the 1950's there were two billion people on this planet, today there are 7.4 billion, projected to hit 12 billion by 2100. Along with that human growth has come with it an industrial revolution in the form of energy development, transportation and agriculture that this planet has never seen before. The excess heat being produced by 7.4 humans is being trapped in our atmosphere and absorbed by our oceans. Hurricanes feed off those warm waters; wildfires feed off the dry land conditions. Even if you are not convinced that humans are contributing to these problems, shouldn't we ALL be on the same page to better our planet and all it's occupants?
The most efficient way to deal with a disease is to get to the root of the problem, not just ignore it, take a pill or apply a band-aid but stop the problem at its root cause. When it comes to human health, the root of most health problems is what we eat three times a day as well as other abuses we do to our bodies. With education and support, humans can improve their diet, incorporate regular exercise into their lives and stop bad habits like smoking, alcohol and drug abuse. When it comes to planetary health the root of the problem is us, so what can we do about it?
I, like everyone else, want to come home to a warm home every day, I want to drive my car anywhere I want, go on periodic trips around the world by plane. The energy and transportation industry is very important to the human lifestyle, but thanks to the many visionaries our species has produced, we are now seeing the beginning of an energy and transportation industry based on renewable energy in the form of the sun and the wind and that's awesome. A number of individuals are switching to solar energy for their homes and electric cars, but not all of us are financially able to do so as of yet. The time frame to switch to 100% renewable is going to be long and expensive and will be fought the whole way, by industries profiting on the present system.
But there is an industry which most people aren't aware of that is the biggest contributor (51%) to the warming and polluting of our planet more than energy and all the transportation in this world combined and that's animal agriculture. Because of our demand for animal protein an industry has been born in less than 100 years that is the leading cause of:
Fortunately, there is "one single act" that all humans on earth can participate in and can do so at their very next meal and every meal after that, which will force an end factory animal farming and begin the healing of our planet (and us) immediately. That "one single act" is to stop eating, wearing and using animals for ANY resource, it is not necessary in the modern world we live in now! Everything on this earth revolves around money and demand determines where that money goes, we as a human species need to demand:
One Single Act that EVERY ONE of us can do RIGHT NOW and FOREVER, to better ALL life on planet earth, as well as planet earth itself!
Kent Maurer—citizen of planet earth
By: Dave Swartz
It was just this morning heading westbound down Parley's Canyon on interstate 80 when I slowly passed yet another animal transport truck filled to capacity with pigs, swine, or hogs. I'm actually not sure what the correct term is. I guess it depends on who you ask. My vehicle and the transport truck were going roughly the same speed so I had a little time to peek in. I'm not sure how many motorists do the same and actually look through the metal slats to see who is inside one of these trailers. I'm hoping many but I'm guessing only a few. This sight immediately makes me stop my thoughts and have a moment for the animals that are surely bound for the slaughterhouse. As much as this sight breaks my heart, I do not feel any hate or anger towards the driver, the trucking company, the producers, or the processors. I try my absolute hardest to send only good thoughts and absolute love to the animals inside. Every time I see one of these trucks the same question in some form or another pops into my head. It's usually something along the lines of "How in this day and age is raising and slaughtering animals for food still a thing?"
What we know in 2017 is the science based fact that the more animal protein one consumes the more health problems and disease one will have. It is science based fact that animal agriculture is responsible for most of the water pollution, ocean dead zones, and deforestation on this planet. Not to mention it is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than the whole transportation industry combined.
It was not until my 22nd year on this planet before I realized the amount of suffering I caused simply because of my regular "western" diet. When I realized that not only would a plant-based diet or vegan diet eliminate this needless suffering but it would also be the healthiest diet for my body and least destructive of all diets on our environment, it simply was a no brainer to make the switch.
Early next month, Sage Mountain is sponsoring our 10 day "Plant Powered Challenge" with local fitness expert Kent Maurer. I strongly encourage you to sign up and see for yourself how empowering a plant based vegan diet can be.
Keep in mind that nothing will do more for human health, this planet's environment, and most importantly reduce suffering, than removing animal products from our plates…and that is a science based fact.

What is more shocking is that this percentage is more than all transportation sectors combined. That means animal agriculture contributes more to human caused global warming than every car, truck, train, plane and ship on this planet. Why as a society are we more focused on reducing climate change through innovation in transportation and energy sectors than we are on changing our diet? This is one of those "Freakonomic" moments that is still hard to wrap my head around. As much as I fully agree with the conversion of our energy and transportation industries to renewable clean energy, an equal amount or more resources should be allocated to the conversion of our diets from a western diet to a plant based diet if we really want to tackle the problem of human caused climate change.
The alfalfa being grown here is fed to animals for human consumption. My local city government has created programs to reduce water consumption such as reductions of lawn watering, encouragement of taking shorter showers, making sure water pipes are not leaking, etc. These are all nice programs however, residential water usage accounts for just 5% of all water usage in the state. If everyone in the state stopped taking showers, watering lawns, flushing toilets, and for that matter stopped drinking water, we would still only have a 5% reduction of total freshwater usage. This is another "Freakonomic" moment that boggles my mind. If our city really wants to decrease water usage it would highly encourage a change in diet as opposed to a change in shower time.
Another fact that is hard to fathom is that by many estimates it takes roughly 15 to 20 times the amount of land to feed a human on an animal based diet as opposed to a plant based diet. For a cow to gain a pound of meat he has to consume many more pounds of grass, alfalfa, and grain just to gain that pound. Similar to humans and all other animals for that matter, we burn calories just by existing and thank goodness we do that because if we did gain a pound of flesh for every pound of food we ate, we would be in big trouble! So what is the leading cause of deforestation on this planet? We would think that logging for homes and buildings would be the leading cause, however it turns out animal agriculture is far more responsible for deforestation than industries such as logging.
As I travel through rural Utah I can only imagine what our world would look like without animal agriculture. By letting the land revert back to the time before raising animals for human consumption, we could have more wilderness, more wildlife, more free flowing rivers, less global warming, and a planet that is truly sustainable. If we as a society really want to have a thriving planet for future generations, there is a something we can all do that doesn't cost any more money than what we are already spending and that is to switch our diets from animal based to plant based.
Calculate This
By: Dave Swartz
I have blogged in the past about the health benefits of eating a plant based diet, this week I would like to touch on the environmental benefits. It is one thing to talk about the negative effects animal agriculture has the environment and another to put that information into actual numbers that are easy to comprehend. A friend sent a link the other day that makes the process simple. This vegan calculator produced some astonishing numbers. According to the website, in the 6 years that I have been vegan I have saved 2,007,500 gallons of water, 73,000 lbs of grain, 54,750 sq feet of forest, 36,500 lbs of CO2 and most importantly 1,825 animals lives saved. Take a moment to try it yourself. Plug in some numbers! http://www.thevegancalculator.com/
There is nothing better one can do for our environment than to make the switch to a plant based diet.
The Answer to Climate Change
By: Lauren Lockey
Please view 2 minute video.
If I were to tell you that one action could drastically reduce climate change, would you do it? Now don't be alarmed! You don't have to give up your car! I am talking about something fairly easy to do that would have a much larger impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. I am referring to what we put on our plates each and every day.
According to a United Nations Report, animal agriculture is responsible for 18% of global greenhouse gas emissions whereas the entire transportation sector is responsible for only 13%. Now it is important to move towards renewable energy as well as electric cars. However, methane is up to 100 times more effective at heat trapping than CO2. Cows produce 150 BILLION gallons of methane per day WORLDWIDE. The reduction of methane would create a noticeable change in just a few years! We would actually see the positive change in our own lifetime!! Reduction of CO2 would take up to 200 years to even start seeing a difference. Plus, did you know that livestock and their by products are responsible for 32 TRILLION tons of carbon dioxide per year?? Therefore, switching to a plant based vegan lifestyle would have a much larger impact on climate change than if every car in the world was switched to a hybrid vehicle!
Animal agriculture is destroying the planet at a rapid pace. Raising animals for food is an extremely inefficient way to feed ourselves. There are over 7 BILLION people on the planet. There are roughly 150 BILLION land animals slaughtered for consumption each year. The majority of food grown on this planet is fed to livestock. It would be far more efficient for humans to eat these crops directly rather than filtering them through another being.
Animal agriculture is the leading contributor to air and water pollution, land degradation, as well as wildlife and biodiversity decline. All of which we, and generations to come, need to survive. The oceans and trees are literally the lungs of this planet. If we continue to pollute and over fish the oceans and cut down more trees for solely the taste of animal flesh and products, the system will collapse and there will be another mass extinction. We will vanish.
There is HOPE. Yes!! We have time to fix this but we must open our eyes and reconnect with what is important. Our home. This beautiful planet and ALL it's unique inhabitants. It is so worth it because most of us can agree that we find peace when we are outside in nature or even just hearing the sounds of nature. Without it, nothing else matters..It is the most important issue today and the answer is so simple. Some sit back and think, "oh I can't make a difference. What does is matter. Someone else will do it." The reality is that each of us CAN make a drastic difference simply by what we choose to eat. We hold the future of this planet in our hands..Who wants to make it better for ALL beings?!

Hanover-area high school football coaches and players share what expectations they have for this upcoming football season as part of Game Time PA's football media day.
New Oxford High School is looking for a new girls' basketball coach.
James Kunkle, who coached the Colonials the past two seasons, confirmed on Wednesday that he stepped down from his position. He declined to comment further or discuss the reasoning behind his decision.
New Oxford athletic director Brandon Renoll also declined to comment. New Oxford issued a press release about its need for a new girls' basketball coach Wednesday afternoon.
Related: New Oxford girls refocus to pursue bigger goals
In his two seasons as the helm, Kunkle compiled a 37-18 overall record and led the Colonials to consecutive district playoff appearances. This past season, the Colonials went 22-9 and reached the YAIAA title game and the PIAA playoffs. The Colonials graduated four of their five starters in May.
A graduate of Spring Grove Area High School, Kunkle was the head girls' basketball coach at York Country Day from 2003 to 2011. He then had stops at Central York as a boys' assistant and West York as a girls' assistant before taking the New Oxford job. The Colonials were coming off a 17-7 season under former coach Mike Sanders at the time.

Well, its official – The Lookout has opened!
Situated on the summit of Edinburgh's Calton Hill, The Lookout is a partnership between one of our favourites, Gardener's Cottage, and Collective who have redeveloped Calton Hill's City Observatory site into an art gallery.
While we have yet to visit (we have booked in for brunch in a couple of weeks), the panoramic views of Edinburgh look sensational – as does the menu. Built to a modern design, The Lookout has floor to ceiling glass walls, looking over Calton Hill's northwest slope and boasts views across the Firth of Forth.
With reasonable a la carte prices, and fixed price lunchtime or pre-theatre menus at two courses for £23, or three for £29, we're sure that The Lookout will be a popular stop for locals and tourists alike.

Please do not.
No, a moderator moved the thread here, from "Tutorials".
(And for the record, I don't understand the block diagram)
It seems to me all of this is covered in detail in the Atmega 328 datasheet.
We don't see the data sheets to discuss Arduino's UART Layers such as RX/TX FIFO Buffers, Serial.write() code,
All the Arduino code comes with the IDE if you really want to study it. But as it seems to work very reliably why would you need to?
yet, many users explore shops for the printed copies of those books. Why?
Seems like the perfect opportunity for you to fill a gap in the market by writing and publishing the book they are all looking for.
3. How are the ASCII data bytes (0x36 and 0x35) created?....... difficult sub-section; not yet fully understood from this post of @J-M-L.
size_t Print::printNumber(unsigned long n, uint8_t base){ char buf[8 * sizeof(long) + 1]; // Assumes 8-bit chars plus zero byte. char *str = &buf[sizeof(buf) - 1]; *str = '\0'; // prevent crash if called with base == 1 if (base < 2) base = 10; do { char c = n % base; n /= base; *--str = c < 10 ? c + '0' : c + 'A' - 10; } while(n); return write(str);}

This setting will separate sales items and payments in the dashboard profile based on the form that was submitted. On the dashboard, when this feature is activated, one company may have multiple profiles/records per form submitted. This feature is commonly used for booth registration/exhibit sales and sponsorship forms; when clients need to keep the financials separate.
The form is still accessible through admin, this is just regarding the public selection.
Once your map is sold out, exhibitors are able to submit a registration and placed in waitlist status. In the case someone cancels, you will be able to contact the waitlisted exhibitors and assign the booth accordingly.
Priority points are assigned to companies/exhibitors based on the amount of money they spend. Points are able to be applied automatically based on the total revenue, per sales items (booths, sponsorships, advertisements, etc...) and applied manually by using bonus points (examples are 1st time exhibitor, 5th year exhibitor, etc...).
If you would like to use our priority point management module, we will request the current cumulative points of your past exhibitors and/or company database.
If the client is interested, send them the Priority Point import template.
While companies are filling out the address block on the registration form, we offer them a checkbox to select to identify they will require some type of special service. If they do select it, an email is automatically sent to the email address you enter here. This way, your team knows who to contact to accommodate their special services required.
When eShow integrates with your AMS, it allows our booth registration 'search lookup' to pull companies directly from your AMS. This will pre-fill the registration form address block to ensure the most up to date information is populated. Additional member information and demographic information is able to be pulled from your AMS as well.
If the client is interested, please ST Education and they will contact the client.
Doing so will allow non-members to be able to purchase a membership fee, therefore being able to purchase booths at the member rate through the registration form.
In the field below, list out the contact information and survey questions to collect.
Example contact fields include first name, last name, email, directory company name, address, city, state, zip, etc...
Example survey questions include company description, product categories and company logo. Also, let us know the count limits for the company description and product categories.
Promotion codes perform one of two functions.
1. A promotion code can activate a specific sales item to display for the exhibitor with that code to purchase.
2. A promotion code can be assigned to a specific booth(s) for the exhibitor with that code to select/purchase the booth. If exhibitors don't have the promotion code, the booth will not be selectable for them.
Discount codes are used/applied to take money off (discount) the cost of a booth or other sales items purchased through the registration form. If you are using them, you also have the choice to restrict companies to use only one, or to allow them to apply multiples. It's up to you!
Realtime assignment: Booths are selected in real time, once an exhibitor selects the booth and submits their request, the booth turns Yellow/On Hold. No other exhibitors are able to select it.
Choice Selection: Exhibitors are able to select their top booth choices. Booths are NOT turned Yellow/On Hold, multiple exhibitors are able to select the same booth(s). You will review the choices and assign the booths to the exhibitors.
Our standard colors are blue for available, yellow for on hold, red for sold and green when they click on the booth during the selection process.
We can change the booths to any RGB color. Also, we can make the booth outlines grey, let us know if you would like that as well. It looks pretty cool.
There are a variety of upgrades we can hook you up with. It doesn't cost you anything, it's just extra revenue! We can set it up so you can sell additional words for the online company description (then collect your show guide description separately at your 'required' limit), additional product categories and you can charge to display their logos in their profiles.
This information is public exhibitor information, displayed in the exhibitor profile. The exhibitor profile is accessed through the exhibitor list by clicking on the exhibitor name, and through the online floor plan by clicking on the exhibitor's booth.
If you don't want it listed on the registration form, it will only be available through the Exhibitor Service Center. Either way works for us.
We have the options when it comes to rules/regs. We can force the registrant to Only click a check box to agree to them, open the document, or open the document / enter initials OR enter their full name and click I agree - then click checkbox to submit (full name is the best!).
Sub-exhibitors are assigned to exhibitors and share the booth with the primary exhibitor.
Sub-exhibitor features:
1. They are listed in the booth mouse-over.
2. They are linked in the primary exhibitor profile to show their profile.
3. Sub exhibitors are able to login to the ESC OR the primary exhibitor wil manage the sub-exhibitor directory updates.
If the primary exhibitor manages the directory profile, the sub-exhibitors are not granted access to the ESC. The primary exhibitor will see each sub-exhibitor linked on the directory edit page along with their company name.
If sub-exhibitors are able to manage their directory, the ESC login module web page needs to be updated to allow sub-exhibitors to login (by default, the sub-exhibitors are not allowed access to the ESC).
