From Lt Col (Retd) Harbhajan Singh Cheema
I am referring to Mr. Kuldip Nayar's article 'Indian Military Forces, Communal Challenge". He has talked about Indian Forces being holey cow. I wish to differ with Mr. Nayar. Where have we treated the forces as holy cow? We have been blaming them for all the petty things including human right violations knowing fully well that they have conducted their operations under trying conditions with utmost care. Bofor gun mentioned by Mr. Nayar too was test fired for technical analysis on firing range in the presence of Parliamentary Committee headed by Mr. Jaswant Singh who was in the opposition and is an ex-serviceman. The gun was technically considered good. Kick backs was a different matter. Cases of in discipline in the Armed Forces have been duly covered by media. If these have been reported rarely, it is because Forces have not been afflicted by corruption bug as much as their civilian counters parts. Let Mr. Nayar quote a case where the forces have not taken a prompt disciplinary action against the persons involved.
Our country and the Forces being secular do not mean that we do not have a right to practice religion. Our forces treat all religions with equal respect. All men in the armed forces have right to practice their religion. All religious functions of men, irrespective of their own religion are attended by all officers. There is no scope of religious institutes encouraging fissiparous forces. If there are more then one religious groups in one unit their religious institutes are located side by side in adjoining areas. Men too attend each others religious function in full. In fact they participate in each others religious function in a manner that one cannot differentiate from the other. That may not be the same in case of all the religious institutes in civilian areas. Religious institutes in civilian areas will do well to emulate and learn secularism from Forces religious institutes. If some Forces personnel have been ideologically contaminated to behave the way Lt Col Purohit is alleged to have behaved the fault lays some where else and not in Forces' Religious Institutes. By denying them the religious institutes in their units/Regimental Centers as suggested by Mr. Nayar we will be exposing them to the communal culture of certain institutes. Also some troops are located so for away from the civilian areas that it is not practical for them to practice their religion as they would wish to. I would earnestly wish Mr. Nayar to visit one of the unit religious institutes, particularly during a religious function to have a first hand knowledge of their culture.
Gen Kapoor to visit SA, Bostwana
New Delhi, November 22
Seeking to enhance India's ties with nations in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR), Army Chief General Deepak Kapoor will embark on a weeklong visit to South Africa and Botswana beginning tomorrow.
The Military relations between India and South Africa have been growing in the past decade through high-level visits, exchanges in training and procurement of military hardware.
Gen Kapoor will visit South African Army headquarters, its War College in Pretoria, an Army engineer formation, an air base, a Parachute Regiment Centre and the School of Armour at Bloems Pruit and a naval base in Cape Town.
Kapoor will also visit the War Memorial at Fort Klapper Kop, Army sources said here today.
During the stay, the Army chief is scheduled to hold wide-ranging discussions with South Africa's National Defence Forces (SANDF) chief General Godfrey Ngwenya and other senior officers, they said.
In the last leg, he will visit Botswana in a bid to further strengthen relations between the two countries. He will go around various military establishments along with the Indian Army's Training Team (IATT), which is based there to provide military training to the African nation's forces.
He is expected to call on Botswanian President and meet with their Defence minister and Defence Forces Commander Lt Gen T.H.C Masire, the sources said. — PTI
Govt snips babus' flights of fancy
New Delhi, Nov. 22: Fasten your seat belts, babus. Air travel expenses during holidays are the government's latest target as it girds up to tackle the global financial crisis.
After curbs on official tours, the Centre has now ordered all its officials — across ranks or entitlements — to fly only on the cheapest economy class tickets available while utilising their leave travel allowance.
The new rule, which has left several bureaucrats fuming, came into effect on November 10 through a finance ministry office memorandum aimed at meeting the "objective of expenditure management in view of the current economy measures".
The order has come just over two months after the implementation of the Sixth Pay Commission recommendations that saw significant salary hikes.
Till now, central government officials were eligible for the same travel arrangements during holidays that they are allowed during official trips, based on their rank.
The cabinet secretary — India's top bureaucrat — and all other secretaries are allowed business class travel on domestic routes and first class tickets for foreign trips made for official purposes.
Officers of the rank of special secretaries, additional secretaries and joint secretaries are allowed business class travel on domestic and international routes.
Lower ranked officials are allowed economy class travel, but have the freedom to select the flight of their choice.
The finance ministry order, however, makes it clear that "in so far as travel by LTA is concerned... the cheapest economy fare ticket will be allowed, irrespective of entitlements of such officers to travel while on tour".
Technically, even under the new rule, officials can choose destinations so that the cheapest economy class fare effectively exhausts their LTA as any unutilised amount cannot be encashed.
But many officials travel to pre-planned destinations including, most commonly, hometowns. So a secretary who may have earlier flown business class with his family to the Andaman islands can now only fly economy class on the cheapest flight available.
Some officials are calling the new order "unreasonable". They also allege it is not clear. "How am I to know which is the cheapest flight that day? Suppose there is a cheap flight leaving in the middle of the night, am I expected to take that instead of one scheduled at a reasonable time," asked one senior bureaucrat.
The order follows a slew of measures taken by the government earlier this year to tackle the global financial meltdown that has seen leading economies like Germany slump into recession.
In June, when the country was battling the rising inflation that preceded the economic slowdown, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had written to all his cabinet colleagues requesting austerity.
He pleaded against tours involving air travel by ministers or officials unless absolutely necessary.
A number of ministers cancelled planned trips following Singh's letter.
Pakistan disbands ISI's political wing
PTI | November 22, 2008 | 23:20 IST
The political wing of Pakistan's powerful Inter-Services Intelligence agency has been disbanded and the organisation will focus only on internal security issues, according to a media report.
A top unnamed ISI official was quoted by Dawn News agency as saying that the agency had shifted its focus from domestic politics to internal security. The ISI would focus on the war against terrorism, which is the most serious security challenge facing Pakistan, the official said.
The ISI's political wing was part of a department that also dealt with counter-intelligence activities. The wing was managed by a brigadier, two colonels and other civil and military officials who would be absorbed in other departments of the ISI, the report said.
The ISI official also said the agency would no longer spy on politicians and their activities. The agency has completely disassociated itself from making or breaking political parties and alliances, the official said.
The ISI will also stop giving security clearance for politicians. The decision to wind up the agency's political wing has been conveyed to the political leadership, the official said.
Several former ISI officials who served in the agency during the regime of former President Pervez Musharraf have recently admitted in media interviews that the organisation played a key role in rigging elections in recent years. The ISI also played a major role in forming the PML-Q party that supported Musharraf after he came to power through a military coup in 1999.
Won't use nuke against India first: Pak
Press Trust of India
Saturday, November 22, 2008 (New Delhi)
Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari on Saturday declared that his country will not be the first to use nuclear weapons against India and would work towards opening trade, besides underscoring that Kashmir belonged to the Kashmiri people.
He also said that Pakistan does not feel threatened by India and New Delhi should also not feel threatened by Islamabad.
Addressing the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit via satellite, Zardari said that he was against nuclear warfare altogether.
"We do not hope to even get to that position when we have to use (nuclear weapons)," he said and proposed a South Asia free of nuclear weapons.
Seeking to reach out to people across the border, he recalled his late wife Benazir Bhutto's lines -- "there is little of Indian in every Pakistani and a little of Pakistani in every Indian."
Zardari also favoured India and Pakistan rising as an "economic block" like greater Europe.
LTTE fall inevitable
Dhaneshi Yatawara reporting from Muhamalai
The Northern Security forces pushed the LTTE further down while the Wanni troops pushed them further north sandwiching between extremely difficult conditions. Last Thursday the LTTE lost their entire Muhamalai Forward Defence Line after being attacked by the Sri Lanka Army.
"We are far superior. Their (LTTE) fall is inevitable," said Major General G.A. Chandrasiri, Commander of the Jaffna Security Forces. The Jaffna Commander was busy with his troops heavily engaged in the Muhamalai Forward Defence Line.
Every soldier in the FDL awaits his order, support and guidance! From the Commander to the newly recruited Private in the battlefield, all were totally committed in their heart and soul to secure victory.
Honouring heroes
It is ironic that the Muhamalai victory fell within the 'Ranaviru Upahara' week (honouring war heroes) as announced by the Government. Especially to countries like ours, each day is a war heroes' day!
After a four day tough confrontation, troops of the 53 division commanded by Brigadier Kamal Gunaratne and of the 55 division commanded by Brigadier Prasanna de Silva are presently in an advanced position of 500 to 800 meters forward in Muhamalai and Kilali.

Previous LTTE defence line now under the Army control
An artillery encampment along Muhamalai defence line
They are in full control of the Tigers' first defence line of the Northern front extending approximately 8 kilometres from Kadolana area North of the A9 road to Kilali at South of A9 road. Troops consolidated their positions by early hours of past Thursday.
Operation to capture the Muhamalai LTTE defence line was launched last Saturday by the troops of the two divisions under heavy resistance from the LTTE at the initial stages.
Though the Tigers earlier resorted to attack the Army with artillery and mortar from Palai and Soranpatthu areas south of Muhamalai and from coma point in Pooneryn their strength degraded a great deal with the total capture of Pooneryn by the Task Force I of the Wanni front.
Presently, Tigers have been pushed southward to their second defence line located about 600 metres away from the first and further down towards the third defence line! which is at approximately one and a half to two kilometres from the second defence line.
According to ground troops a large numbers of dead bodies of Tiger cadres were seen lying beyond the FDLs and according to the official military reports more than 50 LTTE cadres were killed in their unsuccessful attempt to hold the defence line. Intercepted LTTE radio transmissions reported a heavy toll of casualties among the terrorists during these clashes.
During the 'Ranaviru Upahara' Week, we are duty-bound to remember and honour our soldiers who laid down their lives during this battle and those who were injured due to LTTE's mortar and artillery attacks and heavy mine fields.
"Though the LTTE was trying to give us a hard battle, according to the radio intercepts Tiger cadres were running short of food, water, medicine etc. We heard they were fighting even without a single meal a day," Maj. Gen. Chandrasiri told us.
At the forefront
According to the ground information we gathered during our visit about 1500 - 2000 LTTE cadres were positioned at this front to face the Army onslaught and the LTTE leadership was unable to withdraw any of them to meet the requirements of the Wanni front line.
The LTTE had to withdraw to the defence line they lost during the recent battle after their attack on SLA in 2006 August 11. It was the decisive factor for the overall security of the entire peninsula.
Eight months after his posting as the Security Forces Commander in Jaffna, Maj. Gen. Chandrasiri faced the crucial turning point on this 11 August 2006.
Though the LTTE were able to hold the defence line, exactly within a month Sri Lanka Army managed to recapture the territory and within four months they restored normalcy in the area. It was surely a well-deserved victory. In this battle LTTE lost 498 cadres and 1135 were injured.
LTTE launched the Muhamalai attack at a time when the Sri Lanka Army was heavily engaged in the humanitarian operation to liberate the East, particularly in the absence of the present dynamic Wanni Defence Lines of the Sri Lanka Army. Hence the intensity of the attack was severe.
"The August 2006, attack so demoralized the LTTE that it had to give up its efforts of regrouping and redirecting against the government forces.
The LTTE not to come forward and attack this front and they became more defensive," Brigadier Kamal Gunaratne, who was leading the front since August 2006 attack said explaining the enemy position with his experience over the years.
Brigadier Gunaratne was the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the 55 division for one year and eight months before he became the GOC of 53 Division on April 28 this year.
"The strength and the morale of our battle hardened soldiers to go forward while their colleagues on the either side die or get wounded is remarkable. Victory is not impossible with such soldiers," Brigadier Gunaratne added.
While the 55 division secures area south of A9 the 53 division secures the northern section of the A9 road including the Nagar Kovil area.
"Now we very well know the exact nature of the LTTE. As a legitimate Army we have advanced well ahead of the Tigers," Brigadier Prasanna de Silva told us when we met him at the division headquarters.
"They seem to be putting lot of effort to repulse our attacks but we see that their capabilities have gone down in terms of their level of training and the number of well-trained cadres," Brigadier de Silva, with his vast experience gained during the Eastern liberation, told us.
"With our strategies we were able to cripple the LTTE's ground leadership. We have totally scuttled their middle run leadership", he added.Troops in their offensive have also taken care to protect almost all important public places.
Troops were seen on guard near transformers, temples, government as well as semi Government property.
According to information received from the ground troops, the LTTE leader 'Theepan' had been acting as the overall leader during the debacle while an area leader 'Jerry' was also in the scene. Several of the LTTE's senior leaders, such as Kalailalagan in the Kilali front and 'double alpha', were killed by the recent army attacks.
Marching forward
Amidst heavy resistance the troops were able to hold the Tiger defence line for the past few days despite artillery and motor fire.
Troops also suffered damages but not to the extent claimed by certain sections of the media.
With these developments troops of the Northern defence line are in good posture to march forward, more Southward, may be to link up with the Wanni defence line troops advancing towards Paranthan.
However, the LTTE's greediness to the precious, rich land will not disappear overnight!
Though the battle against terrorism seems to be on the right track now the Sri Lanka
Army will have to face the most critical and sensitive ground realities. Even under the bloodiest conditions troops are ready to flush out terrorism without leaving a single trace and that is our strength!
Which Way will Warship Admiral Gorshkov Sail?
By Ilya Kramnik
The transfer of the aircraft carrier Vikramaditya, formerly known as Admiral Gorshkov, to India has been planned for several years already.
Although the warship, under refurbishment since 2004, was to join the Indian Navy in 2008, the carrier's update is behind schedule.
A heavy increase in the costs of both labor and components and Russian shipbuilding complex Sevmash's lack of experience in dealing with large surface ships have all contributed to the delay.
In spring 2007, the announcement that the transfer of Admiral Gorshkov to India would not take place before 2010 was followed by protracted talks on the price and terms of the contract. Verbal agreement on major issues was announced several times, though no final agreement has yet been achieved.
On Nov 13, Sevmash's announcement that the updated carrier would soon be afloat was followed by a notice that the warship could join the Russian navy if no agreement on costs is reached.
Sevmash deputy chief Sergei Novoselov said at least $2 billion are needed to complete the work on the ship.
Meanwhile India reported that it is prepared to allocate no more than a few hundred million dollars for the project. It is unclear when and how this argument will end. Most likely a decision will be taken before the end of this year.
What will it mean for Russia if the ship does not end up in India? On the one hand, a failure to meet commitments to a foreign partner would hit Russia's reputation. On the other, a possible decision to provide funding to complete overhauling of the ship and return it to the Russian navy would favor both the country's defence industry and the navy, which needs an aircraft carrier.
The current state of the Russian armed forces requires an immediate increase in hardware even by reducing military exports, as was the case with the Iskander tactical missile system.
The Iskander is not to be sold abroad until the country's army receives the required number of these launchers.
Regarding the Admiral Gorshkov, what will this ship be like once completed?
It will have a 38,000, 48,000 and 53,000 ton unloaded, standard and laden tonnage, respectively, and a 273-metre long flight deck. The vessel will carry 16 to 20 MiG-29 fighters and six to eight Kamov Ka-28/Ka-31 helicopters.
If sold to India, the ship will also be able to carry Tejas trainer aircraft and Dhruv light helicopters, both made by the country's aeronautic giant Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd.
Besides aviation, the warship will be fitted with Kinzhal air defence missiles and Kashtan air defence gun/missile systems.
The updated ship will be closest in performance to the French nuclear-powered aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, which has a slightly lower laden tonnage of 43,000 tons and a higher endurance thanks to its power plant.
The more rational design of the latter also provides more room on the hangar deck, 4,600 sq m compared to 2,900 on the Admiral Gorshkov, enough to contain up to 40 aircraft.
The Russian ship, however, will be faster and, according to some experts, will have higher sea worthiness, ensuring aircraft operation in adverse weather.
A significant advantage of the Admiral Gorshkov returning into service with the Russian navy would be that it could take to the sea as soon as early next decade, while an advanced aircraft carrier, if put into production in December 2008, would not be completed until 2014 or 2015 at best.
The destiny of the aircraft carrier will be clear soon. It's hard to tell, though, which of the two possible outcomes will be best for Russia.
A tarnished image
Ashok K Mehta
It is the duty of governments to maintain the Army's secular identity
The Indian Army has been taken by surprise by the allegedly anti-national activities of a serving officer who's now saying that he's been framed. The Lt Col Purohit case is being described as a freak incident, at best an aberration, the Army contending that its secular and apolitical credentials are as solid as a rock. Instead of being apologetic or in denial of Purohit's deviations, it should remind the government of some home truths.
The first of these is that today's army is not yesterday's army. While still retaining the military values of the past, the face of the force has changed and inevitably too. In the post-Independence era, a different breed of youth joined the army. You resigned your commission if your cheque bounced. Women, politics and religion were taboo in mess conversation. Officers from the elite and upper middle classes joined the army not as a vocation but as a calling. The Army was held in awe and at the height of civil disturbances — a flag march would do the trick to disperse a rioting mob. The secular and apolitical bona fides of soldiers were scrupulously acknowledged and zealously guarded.
This was a tradition inherited from the colonial British Army, assiduously nurtured by insulating it from people and politics by confining them to cantonments. The Army enjoyed high prestige and high salaries and had a key role in decision-making through near-parity with the civil services. After Independence the military was substantially downgraded in protocol and pay and civil and police services elevated to curb the political ambitions of the Army.
Over the years, while demanding the same professional and ethical standards, very little was done to nurture and preserve those values by giving the Army acceptable levels of respect and status in society. The profile of the officer corps and quality of leadership declined dramatically. Today's upper and middle class youth joins the corporate world and often those who've failed elsewhere join the Army virtually as a last resort. This year, the prestigious Indian Military and National Defence Academies are undersubscribed by 40 to 50 per cent. The diminishing quality of leadership has led to incidents like the Tehelka expose, the Siachen fake encounters and sundry cases of corruption. These have tarnished the image of the Army. Yet, as an institution, it is still recognised for its incomparable honesty, integrity and commitment to upholding the core values of democracy.
While the Army is still a potent instrument of state, there are undercurrents of anger and frustration over increasing dilution in respect of "izzat" and role in decision-making. The anomalies of the Sixth Pay Commission have further short-changed soldiers.
The second blind spot in officialdom is the pretence that socio-political transformation has not touched the Army. Over the last 60 years, caste and communal politics have polarised society corrupting governance and challenging the secular and political ethos of the Army.
Although the Army did not play a direct role in the freedom struggle, it played a decisive role in nation-building from J&K and the North East: assisting civil authority in containing secession and extending the writ of the state. The buffer of cantonments got removed long ago as the Army saw first hand the pell-mell of politics and corruption, the nexus between politicians, underground and the bureaucracy.
The third problem is the crisis of governance. Growing Naxal violence, unfinished insurgencies and indigenous and imported terrorism have afflicted the entire country.
Central and state governments appear to be both unable and unwilling to provide any sense of security to people under their charge. Nothing is more frustrating for soldiers than to see the helplessness and inability of governments to protect its people. Col Purohit apparently acted for a collective cause according to his conscience in full knowledge of the consequences of indulging in anti-national activities.
Purohit helping terrorists make bombs may well be an aberration but other rank and file could also be seized with similar dangerous ideas. The Army's secular and apolitical ethos has been affected by the unprecedented socio-political change, insensitivity of government to soldiers' grievances and sheer crisis of governance. Soldiers are being stretched to reconcile the gap between the ideals and values they espouse and those their political masters practice.
In Turkey it is the secular Army that monitors any religious deviation on the part of government. India, thank God, is not Turkey. Still it is the duty of governments and political parties to ensure there is minimum strain on the Army in maintaining its secular identity and image. It is up to you and me to protect our Army.
Unfortunately rhetoric and semantics of the current discourse have sidelined the urgent need to combat terrorism about which the government has done nothing in the first place.

It's no secret by now that digital transformation is shaking up even the largest companies. Hybrid multi-cloud has quickly become the best way to get exactly the right mix of resources to support your company's specific infrastructure needs. But, hybrid multi-cloud and other infrastructure models can be difficult to navigate without an expert on hand. It's essential to your company's survival that you choose a managed services provider to help you along the way.
Four reasons why an IT partnership is vital for modernization:
Ever-Evolving Features and Functionality Across Multiple Platforms
Your team is focused on their day-to-day tasks and responsibilities. They don't always have the time and energy to devote to managing applications or keeping their skills and knowledge up to date across all your platforms. Managed services teams are constantly investing in their employees' ongoing education to ensure their customers are utilizing the latest and greatest technology for their needs.
Experience with a Wide Range of Implementations
In each of the last four years, around 60% of CIOs have reported skill shortages, with enterprise architecture listed as one of the three most scarce skills. There's just no substitute for experience, and managed service providers that have architected, migrated and managed hundreds or thousands of different implementations bring many unique perspectives to the table.
Reduces Risk
Partnering with a managed services team may seem like an extra, unnecessary expense, but it's a decision that quickly pays for itself. In recent years, 80% of companies who experience downtime said it was due to a preventable failure. With a managed services team providing proactive monitoring, these issues can be found before the failures occur. In addition, the 24/7/265 support provided can prove beneficial in the event of an emergency.
Saves Time on Daily Patching and Updates
Most organizations are so busy focusing on the basics of maintaining a stable IT platform, that they don't get around to patching or updating their applications daily even when they should. Whether you patch and update frequently or only once in a while, a managed services provider can help. Patching takes a great deal of your team's time, but you can offload that burden to an IT partner and leave your team free to focus on their other responsibilities.
Consider the cost value of time saved on updates, upgrades and migrations over many years. These savings become exponential when compared to the average cost of a data breach ($3.86 million) or downtime ($400,000 per hour). It's easy to see why so many companies opt to partner with a managed services provider for these services. Whoever you choose to partner with – it's clear that survival depends on choosing a managed services provider to help you with the daily upkeep and proactive monitoring of your systems, as well as the extensive experience they provide.

It's unfortunate, but not all Stephenville lawyers maintain the same ethical standards or demonstrate the rigorous professionalism that you likely expect and demand from an attorney. After all, law firms run the gamut from the most respectable and demanding to the morally questionable. It would be easier for clients if they could anticipate the same treatment, demeanor, and thoroughness from all legal professionals, but that simply isn't the case. Learn what to look for so you can identify a trustworthy law firm when you need it the most.
It shouldn't be difficult getting your attorney to speak with you. If it takes them a week or more for them to get back with you, you'll understandably feel like they're not giving you much concern. A trustworthy law firm will treat you with respect and courtesy and give you the attention that you deserve.
You're probably not a legal expert. Any law firm or lawyer worthy of your time should communicate what they expect from you and walk you through the legal process. Better communication begets greater preparedness, and you'll be more comfortable and confident if you know what's coming.
Experience isn't earned overnight. An established law firm, with attorneys that can boast decades of experience, is all but guaranteed to deliver you both professionalism and a more skilled legal staff. If they've been in business many years, you can rest assured that they've earned their reputation time and time again.
Not all attorneys have the same background or the same area of expertise. The law firm should have an extensive background in practice that you require. Never trust any law firm that pretends family law and criminal law are somehow interchangeable.
A Fair Share
No attorney or law firm should receive more from your settlement than you do. Their focus should be on seeking justice on your behalf, not on denying you the recovery that you were promised.
No Excessive Fees
You shouldn't be charged if you receive no recovery. Fees can stack up quickly. If they nickel-and-dime you, you should find a new law firm.
Not all Stephenville, TX, lawyers or law firms are created equally. Never put your trust in people who don't deserve it.

Red Hat's Anti-Windows Website Runs On Windows
Fake News written by on Sunday, April 14, 2002
RALEIGH-DURHAM, NC -- In response to Microsoft's "We Have The Way Out" advertising blitz, Red Hat Software last week unveiled its own campaign, "Yes They Have The Way Out". Taking a cue from Microsoft, Red Hat has decided to host its own anti-Windows campaign website on a Windows server.
"Why didn't we think of this earlier?" explained Erik Schweikert, a Red Hat advertising manager. "Already, our Windows 2000 webserver has proven to be slow, crash-prone, and error-prone. According to our testing, one out of every two visitors to YesTheyHaveTheWayOut.com is greeted by a 'Server Too Busy' or other uninformative IIS error message. By showing Windows (in)action, we have crafted the perfect Linux advertising campaign."
If a visitor happens to visit the website during a time in which the Windows server is actually up and running, they will be greeted with a series of pages describing all of the "benefits" of Microsoft software.
"If you don't like powerful user interfaces," one page says, "Microsoft has the way out... into a world of click-and-drool graphical dialog boxes so simple that even a five your old could operate them..."
Another section exclaims, "If you don't like depending your mission critical business on software with the source code available, Microsoft has the way out... into a world of software with locked-down source code designed to prevent malicious hackers from taking advantage of security holes and also ensuring that only well-trained Microsoft engineers make changes to the code instead of your snot-nosed 14 year old nephew."
The rest of the site has other similarly crafted sections showcasing the kind of world that Microsoft allows you to "escape" to. "This is one of the best promotional campaigns that we've spearheaded," explained the Red Hat ad manager. "This is even cooler than that billboard we erected last year showing the Blue Screen of Death with the caption 'Is this really where you want to go today?'"
Not everybody is quite as impressed with the Red Hat promotional endeavor. "Your typical Pointy Haired Boss doesn't understand sarcasm or parody," said a writer for Ziff-Davis. "This stuff will go right over their heads and they'll honestly believe that click-and-drool interfaces and security-through-obscurity really are Microsoft advantages. After all, the only reason that Dilbert is still around is that PHBs don't get the jokes."

The South of Morbihan has a rich cultural and historical heritage: medieval town center of Vannes, port of Saint Goustan in Auray, megalithic sites of Carnac, fishing village of Locmariaquer ... each city tells a story ...
La Trinité sur Mer is a very pleasant sea resort, with many beaches and surrounded with natural spaces. From the campsite, by foot of by bike, nothing is easier than reaching the harbour of La Trinité and discovering the charms of the town centre. Very lovely with its shops and many restaurants, the harbour is well known for its sailing regattas and sheltered all year round some famous sailing boats.
Carnac is both a land of history and holiday resort. Carnac is a renowned seaside resort in Brittany, also famous for its alignments of menhirs and other megalithic sites.
Near La Trinité sur Mer, discover the peninsula of Locmariaquer: known for its megaliths, such as the famous dolmen of "La Table des Marchands" or "Le Grand Menhir Brisé", Locmariaquer is also a typical Breton village at the entrance of the Gulf of Morbihan ...
Auray, city of art and history is appreciated by visitors for its cobbled streets, half-timbered houses and its port of Saint Goustan on the banks of the river Loch.
During your holidays at La Baie campsit, take the time to visit the old historic center of Vannes. Located at the bottom of the Gulf of Morbihan, this city was created two thousand years ago. Vannes has preserved its medieval houses, ramparts and alleys where it is good to stroll ...
The ancient medieval towns of Morbihan are discovered from the seas side with Vannes or Auray but also land side with small cities of character with historical and architectural heritage preserved. Castles, old houses and half-timbered houses, narrow alleys and flowers, wash houses, churches and chapels ... That's what characterises them and makes their charm.

So I'm just going to go through the products and tools I use for my everyday contour and highlight routine. I'm someone who tends to stick with what they love and so everyday is pretty much the same for me, I use one contour and one highlight powder and that's it, the only thing I vary is the brush I use depending on how much I want to glow.
I use the Hoola by Benefit (no surprises there) alongside the Real Techniques Sculpting Brush. Hoola is a fantastic colour, it's matte and not orange which is great for me because I'm so pale. The Sculpting Brush is easily my favourite out of all of the ones I've tried because it is so dense and quite stiff so blends out even excessive amounts of product. To contour my nose I use a tapered eyeshadow brush (B04) from the Spectrum Sirens Collection. I tend to focus my contour on my cheeks, working down along my jawline, and up to my temples. I'm not sure what it is but whenever I use bronzer on my forehead it looks very cakey so I don't tend to do this as often.
I use the Mac Mineralize Skinfinish in Soft & Gentle with either the Real Techniques Contour Brush or the Spectrum A10 Feeling Fancy fan brush if I only want a light dusting of product. The colour of Soft & Gentle is very golden toned and although I love it I'm looking for a more silver alternative. I apply my highlight along the tops of my cheekbones and around the end of my eyebrows, both above and below, working in a sideways V shape if that makes sense. I also put a light dusting on my cupid's bow and down the middle of my nose between the contour.

Presented at CBI Annual Meeting, Tokyo, Japan
Electrophysiological ion channel measurements generate a significant amount of signal data with time traces often consisting of hundreds or thousands of data points. Furthermore, multiple events must be inspected, analyzed, and combined for an optimal analysis result. This, together with high data volumes, makes data processing very time consuming and laborious. In addition, recent advances in automated electrophysiology enable the screening of thousands of compounds per week, but data handling/processing infrastructures have not kept pace with these developments. In the absence of efficient computational platforms, valuable information can be overlooked and the technology fall short of meeting its high-throughput discovery expectations.
Genedata has addressed these bottlenecks and challenges. Through extensive consultations with researchers at some of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies, Genedata has developed a specific solution for automated, high-throughput patch-clamping (high-throughput APC) experiments. The Genedata Screener® software package integrates the trinity of raw data - analysis - storage/reporting into one highly optimized workflow with a flexible interface. Together with the tight integration of components, this enables scientists to tailor each step and detail with all changes quickly propagated throughout the entire workflow.
This poster demonstrates how to simultaneously handle and analyze all plates and compounds from an automated electrophysiology campaign, enabling thorough quality control and accurate hit assessment. More than 3200 compounds were analyzed for over 10 384-well plates with 18,000 time points per well, and 2 (pre/post) channels, giving approximately 140 million data points. The whole data processing procedure takes less than 30 minutes from raw data input to export of detailed reports inclusive of quality control and hit identification. The software system also features a flexible application programming interface (API), which enables the implementation of custom data processing algorithms, APC results export to company data warehouses, and much more. Customized algorithm development exampled will be presented as well.

Getting to Know Numbers 1-30 Superhero Style
I have included ideas for how to arrange the pieces on poster board.
Just so you have an idea of what it looked like before.... here you go. Again, it was functional, but not so cute.
Are there any products you are looking to redo this summer? I am so glad to have crossed this one off my list, and I absolutely LOVE the new look. Grab one for yourself by clicking on the image below.
What do you guys think of the new look? What products do you plan to give a facelift to this summer?


text: The development of alternative low-cost and high-performing hole-transporting materials (HTMs) is of great significance for the potential large-scale application of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) in the future. Here, a facilely synthesized solution-processable copper tetra-(2,4-dimethyl-3-pentoxy) phthalocyanine (CuPc-DMP) via only two simple steps, has been incorporated as a hole-transporting material (HTM) in mesoscopic perovskite solar cells (PSCs). The optimized devices based on such a HTM afford a very competitive power conversion efficiency (PCE) of up to 17.1% measured at 100 mW cm(-2) AM 1.5G irradiation, which is on par with that of the well-known 2,2',7,7'-tetrakis(N,N'-di-p-methoxyphenylamine)-9,9'-spirobifluorene (spiro-OMeTAD) (16.7%) under equivalent conditions. This is, to the best of our knowledge, the highest value reported so far for metal organic complex-based HTMs in PSCs. The advantages of this HTM observed, such as facile synthetic procedure, superior hole transport characteristic, high photovoltaic performance together with the feasibility of tailoring the molecular structure would make solution-processable copper phthalocyanines as a class of promising HTM that can be further explored in PSCs. The present finding highlights the potential application of solution processed metal organic complexes as HTMs for cost-effective and high-performing PSCs.

|Virginia Woolf
We have a number of Virginia Woolf's novels nearing the top of our reading stack, so we are so happy to have found this recording of the author discussing the art of writing. According to the description of the video clip:
"This is the only surviving recording of Virginia Woolf's voice. It is part of a BBC radio broadcast from April 29th, 1937. The talk was called "Craftsmanship" and was part of a series entitled 'Words Fail Me'."
We are about to start our huge Titanic Research Project: Be on the outlook for samples from last year that will be posted in the coming days. We are starting the process earlier this year after reflecting on our unit over the summer. The research project is a several month process and "Craftsmanship of Words" is key to taking hours of research and developing a product that reflects the writer's topic in a fluid, interesting, and readable manner.
"For most of history, Anonymous was a woman."
― Virginia Woolf
"You cannot find peace by avoiding life."
― Virginia Woolf
"Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind."

As a storyteller, I've learned that every exciting tale needs a few key elements: compelling characters, conflict, high stakes and a killer location. Above all, though, the story needs to represent something bigger – an idea or reason that the story applies to us and our world too – something that demonstrates how the story impacts history and our present day. This explains why the story of Richard Etheridge and the Pea Island Surfmen is a favorite on the Outer Banks. Although niche to the area, this nevertheless fascinating piece of local and national history merits the attention of everyone, no matter their age or hometown.
The nation's first all-black U.S. Life-Saving Service Station made its home on Pea Island in 1880. As a result of their seafaring service and their work in conjunction with the white-crew stations around the Outer Banks, they became immortalized as heroes off-shore and as pioneers for social diversity.
A historic photo of the Pea Island Life-Saving Station crewmen (Captain Etheridge is on the far left), Facebook
Richard Etheridge was born into slavery on Roanoke Island. He learned how to read and write and additionally served as a sergeant in the Civil War. Following the Emancipation Proclamation, he was appointed as the keeper at the U.S. Life-Saving Service Station at Pea Island – the first black keeper in the nation, a position he maintained until 1900.
Etheridge ran the all-black crew of surfmen with the same standards he used as a military sergeant, and his station garnered a reputation as "one of the tautest on the Carolina coast." This didn't happen without significant struggles, however. One may think that a seaman's standard opponent is the ocean, but for this crew, they faced prejudice from some white members of other stations who refused to work with the blacks at Pea Island. They even had their station burned down at one point.
For the most part, however, the crew at the Pea Island Life-Saving Station prevailed. Their story is marked by the role they played in the collective work done by life-saving stations located across the Outer Banks. In October of 1896, when hurricane conditions blew the E.S. Newman (en route from Providence to Norfolk) 100 miles off-course, the Pea Island Lifesavers sprang into action. They entered the treacherous waters, not once, not twice, but 10 times to rescue the entire crew of from the ship, an act that distinguished them as national heroes.
The legacy of Etheridge and the Pea Island Life Saving Station continues today. A bronze statue of Richard Etheridge stands in the traffic circle at Bideford and Sir Walter Raleigh Streets in Manteo, and the efforts of Etheridge and his crew are honored with a marker on the grounds of the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island. The North Carolina Department of Transportation recently named its new bridge on Pea Island as the Captain Richard Etheridge Bridge.
And the Pea Island Preservation Society (PIPSI) continues to share the story long after the station was closed in 1947. Their dramatic presentation Freedmen, Surfmen, Heroes: The Unique Story of the Pea Island Life Savers breathes life back into this long-past story. Descendants of the Pea Island Life-Savers, Joan and Darrell Collins, tell the history of these brave men along with the help of costumed interpreters who re-enact the rescue of the E.S. Newman.

Freedmen, Surfmen, Heroes presentations only occur a few times during the summer at the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island: Thursday, July 12 and Thursday, August 9. Gain a new sort of knowledge and appreciation for this history of unity, cooperation, bravery and equal opportunity by checking out a showing of Freedmen, Surfmen, Heroes at 11:30 a.m. and also 1:30 p.m. The program is fun and engaging for visitors of all ages, and admission to the show is included in your aquarium ticket. The North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island is at 374 Airport Road in Manteo; call (252) 475-2300 for more information.
If you want to know the whole story about Captain Richard Etheridge and the Pea Island Life Savers, read Fire on the Beach by David Wright and David Zoby. It's a riveting book that reads like a historical novel. You'll find it in local bookstores.

Weird Movie Review: Oldboy

This weird movie is really weird, well not really, perhaps for westerners it will be weird-ish at the end. But until then, it is a thingy worth checking out. All images belong to Mr. Park Chan-wook (director) and Show East (publisher), we check 'em out to learn about this badass film called Oldboy.
Mr. Towelhead reviews:
Oldboy is a 2003 South Korean film directed by Park Chan-wook. It is an action, mystery, thriller with a decent amount of horror elements to it. It is, apparently loosely based on a manga (same name) by the fellows of Nobuaki Minegishi and Garon Tsuchiya.
The main idea behind is a story of vengeance and mystery as the protagonist is unwillingly locked in a spiral of violence and sadness. Given enough "freedom" to act on his own but unable to quit the game, to the point where the protagonist is given immediate medical attention when he tries to commit suicide.
The protagonist finds himself locked up in a single room with a TV for 15 years, without a clue why. He is given food and medical attention but no words are spoken to him. Finally he is released and given a grace period to find out: Why?
What better way to feel alive…
… than to eat something alive.
So he embarks on a crazy violence roller coaster to regain the lust for life and to find out why on Earth was he locked up for 15 years.
One of the really neat things about this movie is that the antagonist, is not some sort of mysterious man or organization, but after the 15 years of "imprisonment" the antagonist presents himself to the protagonist and convinces the protagonist not to kill him, before he can find out the reason why he (the antagonist) did this.
How do you fight an antagonist who is willing to die any moment?
The goal is not to win, but to find out the truth.
Apart from the really cool story and concept, the movie thrives from the images and resources used to explain the story, but most of all the fighting concepts. It presents to us, the COOLEST, most AWESOME fight scene you will ever see. Its crude, its non-chalant, its brutal, in a one-shot, wide-shot single, long moment of pure BADASS-ness.
The hallway fight is one of the most exciting moments, eva!
The movie is not particularly gory, bloody or nudity-ish, but there are some naughty scenes. Nothing that will revolt your stomach because of the things seen. But the movie does present the idea of things happening that WILL revolt your stomach… a bit.
The protagonist isn't the most good-looking guy ever, but he is badass as hell. The action is nothing like choreographed, its brutish, real and naughty :D So if you liked the piece of crap, ballet-choreography that was Star Wars the Phantom Menace, you will not like Oldboy. What I'm trying to say is, clichés are not the South Korean way :D and that's a good thing (if you like original, weird movies).
The ending is a bit, a thing to get used to, as it is a happy end with a bad taste of mouth :S
Ah! Such a cute ending…
… or is it :D
9 / 10
The Korean sense of humor, action and thinking is not something familiar to westerners, never the less the story is still intringuing and tense. The action scenes are the highlight of the movie along with some nasty torture moments. I would definitelly recommend Oldboy for an older audience, mainly for young-adult males.

Cows are among the oldest domesticated animals known and are raised for meat, milk and draft animals. A medium-sized cow averages 1,100 to 1,400 pounds, while bulls weigh in at 1,600 to 2,000 pounds. The coat color varies from breed to breed - from glossy black, to brown-red to spotted and pied, to ivory white.
A family milk cow will generally yield about 12 quarts daily for from eight to 12 months.
Domestic cows vary in their docility. However, an irate cow can give a nasty bite, and many have sharp horns, not to mention hooves.

Keynote Speaker
Okhee Lee, Professor of Childhood Education at New York University
STEM Education for All Students, Including English Learners
Three emerging forces promise to shape the landscape of STEM education: growing student diversity, increasing academic rigor of content standards, and advancing technological innovations. The convergence of broadening participation in STEM subjects through technological innovations represents the lives of students and teachers. As disciplinary practices in STEM subjects (e.g., develop models, argue from evidence, construct explanations) are language intensive, engagement in these practices presents both learning opportunities and demands to all students, especially English learners. Using classroom examples, this presentation will highlight the mutually supportive nature of instructional shifts in STEM subjects and second language acquisition.
Concurrent Session
Science and Language Assessment of All Students, Including English Learners
The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) three-dimensional instruction and assessment present both opportunities and challenges to teachers, especially involving student diversity and equity. This session will address how to design science instruction that incorporates formative assessment of science and language with all students, including English learners. After engaging in a science investigation, participants will assess student-developed models in terms of both science and language, and consider how to use the assessment to inform instructional next steps.
Okhee Lee is a professor in the Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development at New York University. Her research areas include science education, language and culture, and teacher education. She is leading collaborative research between New York University and Stanford University to develop instructional materials aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) in order to promote science learning and language learning of elementary students including English learners. She is also leading collaborative research with MIT and Vanderbilt University to integrate computational thinking and modeling in NGSS-aligned instructional materials. She was a member of the NGSS writing team and served as leader for the NGSS Diversity and Equity Team. She was also a member of the Steering Committee for the Understanding Language Initiative at Stanford University.

Eating and drinking: such simple, yet vital and universal acts of humanity. We have to eat and drink. If you stop for too long you die.
In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth, He set mankind in the Paradise of Eden. There He planted the Tree of Life. It is clear from Scripture and the wisdom of the saints that mankind was intended eventually to partake of this Tree, but due to the fall this never happened; instead Adam and Eve were cast out of Paradise (cf. Gen. 3: 22-21). The flaming sword then barred the way to the Tree of Life. It became impossible for mankind to eat of the Tree.
In ancient Israel the consummation, the defining action, of being an Israelite was the ability to participate in the oblations sacrificed on the altar in the Temple at Jerusalem (and before that in the Tent of Tabernacle). This participation was a defining reality; only true Hebrews communed of the sacrifices in the Temple.
Eating and drinking in Judaism and Christianity have long held a much deeper significance than simply utilitarian biological functions.
God has, since the beginning, given to those who are His a very physical way of communing with Him; even to the point of taking a basic necessity such as eating and drinking and infusing it with potent spiritual reality.
Christ clearly says: "He who eats my flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. He who eats My flesh and drinks my blood abides in Me, and I in him" (Jn 6: 54-56), and elsewhere, "Take, eat; this is My body … Drink from it, all of you; for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins" (Mt. 26: 26-28). Archimandrite Vasileios says, "In one pearl of the Body and Blood of Christ one can find all of Paradise. So we see that Paradise is a tasting - as we sing, 'Taste and see that the Lord is good' (at every Div. Liturgy, cf. Ps. 33/34:8, my note) - to know and understand that God is love." Love which is participatory: "Take, eat ... Take, drink."
Today Eden exists and the Tree of Life is on earth. Whoever desires may still partake of the Fruit of Paradise. By the sacrifice of the Cross, Christ has planted Himself in the midst of His Church, eternally established in the time transcending reality of His sacrifice - Holy Communion. He has given those who are His to mystically and physically partake of Him through eating and drinking, and thereby commune in the everlasting victory of the God-Man.
In Eden of old the Tree of Life was imbued with grace to make Adam and Eve "like God." Today any who would be like God must partake of the Fruit of Christ: His Body and Blood - the Tree of Life.
|Icon: The Cross as the Tree of Life
Holy Communion, participation in Christ's real Body and Blood, has been the fundamental center of true Christian living since the beginning of the Church. As of old Eden was centered on the Tree of Life, and Israel was centered on the sacrifices of the altar in Zion, so the Church of Christ is centered on the altar where the Body and Blood of Christ is made manifest. A neglect or denial of this reality is a loss of that which is essential to the Christian faith. In fact a neglect of Holy Communion is a neglect of true Life in Christ: "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you." (my emphasis, Jn 6:53).
Just as for physical life God has set down that we must eat and drink, so in the spiritual life He has ordained that one must literally eat and drink of Him. There is no other way to be like God: a Christian eats in a physical manner of the Tree of Life, which is Christ Jesus.
This Tree has always been the center of Orthodox Christianity; It blossoms, and Its Divine fruit is distributed at every Divine Liturgy; It has not been hewn down, cast out, and replaced by new up to date shiny attractions.
The invitation is still goes out to every man, woman and child: come partake of the Fruit of Paradise planted in the midst of Eden.

Marco Rubio Leads Presidential Hopefuls When It Comes To Silicon Valley Fund Raising
The tech industry may be known for leaning blue, but in the 2016 election cycle, presidential hopeful Marco Rubio has already tapped deeply into Silicon Valley's extensive wealth, raising more funds than any other Republican.
At $3.03 million, the Florida senator has almost six times as much tech money as any other presidential hopeful, according to to Re/code, citing information from Crowdpac, a nonpartisan startup that tracks political data. That's quite the lead, but Rubio has quite a ways to go before locking down the tech industry. Of Rubio's tech funds, $3 million have come from just one man: Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison, who is known for contributing to members of both the Republican and Democratic parties.
The rest of Rubio's tech donations have been significantly smaller four-figure amounts from a few tech individuals, including Oracle CEO Safra Catz, Seagate CEO Steve Luzco and Cisco Systems Chairman John Chambers. Surprisingly, Rubio also landed a 2013 $2,600 contribution from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, who did not donate any money during the 2012 election.
After Rubio comes Republican Jeb Bush, who has raised $525,000 in tech donations, Democrat Hillary Clinton with $247,000, independent-running-as-Democrat Bernie Sanders with $134,000 and Republican Chris Christie with $100,000. All other presidential candidates have raised less than $100,00 from the tech industry, which appears to be biding its time before rallying behind any particular candidate.
Clinton is the only candidate to have received donations from many key tech players, including Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Dropbox CEO Drew Houston, YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki and Craiglist founder Craig Newmark among her donors. Most of those donations, though, have been small, four-figure contributions.
This election cycle it is expected that presidential hopefuls will need to spend at least $5 billion campaigning for the White House. That means that whoever wins will need help from the deep pockets in Silicon Valley.

Sophie Medlin, Lecturer in Nutrition and Dietetics, King's College London in an article in The Conversation takes a look at the "clean eating" claims such as:
"Some clean eating bloggers claim to have cured themselves of diseases. The kinds of medical conditions that clean eating is supposed to cure are often conditions that are not well understood, such as chronic fatigue, which leaves sufferers desperate for a solution. And where there is desperation there is always someone willing to sell help – however unscientific."
"Some clean eaters promote an alkaline diet to prevent excess acidity in the body. Ironically, our stomach acid is only slightly less acidic than battery acid so anything you eat will be immediately placed into a highly acidic environment where the pH is tightly controlled. You cannot manipulate your body's pH through diet and you don't need to try."

AFC Bournemouth
Manager Eddie Howe is sweating on the availability of several key players ahead of AFC Bournemouth's trip to Everton on Sunday (2.15pm kick-off).
Frontmen Callum Wilson, Joshua King and Ryan Fraser are likely to face late checks before Howe names his team to face the Toffees at Goodison Park.
Strikers Wilson (hamstring) and King (flu) both sat out the Cherries' FA Cup third-round defeat by Brighton at Vitality Stadium, while winger Fraser (hamstring) reported injured following the tie.
Boss Howe, speaking this morning at his pre-match press conference, said: "We have a couple of knocks, a few players nursing injury and illness so will see who's fit.
"Callum was missing last week, Josh was ill and Ryan was limping at the end of the game so we have a few to assess and check. Whether they are fit and available we will wait and see."
Howe confirmed he anticipated being without new signing Dominic Solanke until February due to a minor hamstring problem.
The 21-year-old striker, Howe's first recruit of the mid-season transfer window when he signed from Liverpool, has been working on his rehab under the watchful eye of the club's medical staff.
Loan signing Nathaniel Clyne could be in contention to make his Premier League debut for the club after impressing in the FA Cup defeat by Brighton.
Meanwhile, Howe confirmed club captain Simon Francis had gone under the knife earlier this week after rupturing his anterior cruciate ligament against Tottenham on Boxing Day.
Howe added: "Simon had his operation on Monday and it was successful. He is starting his recovery now so we send our best wishes to him."

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Police are looking for a man who's accused of robbing, beating and holding a 92-year-old at gunpoint.
Authorities say the man pictured in surveillance images stole the elderly man's credit card and used the card inside of several retail stores.
His daughter, Diana Brown, couldn't believe someone would do this to her father who's a WWII veteran and remains active even at his age.
"He held it to daddy`s temple the whole time he was walking behind him," Brown said.
She said the man broke into her father's home around 6 p.m. on April 29 on Monmouth Street in Winston Salem's Sunnyside-Central Historic District.
She says the man kicked him in his back, held a gun to his head and forced him into a closet.
"Anybody that will go into somebody`s home is one thing, but when you go in and purposely hurt them when you don`t have too — I mean he`s 92," Brown said.
The veteran's daughter recounted the scary moments.
"Daddy said he could hear him and that`s when he went inside of my daddy's bedroom and ransacked that and took two of my dad`s watches and the credit card," said Brown.
Investigators discovered the man's credit cards were used at various stores. Brown said her father's credit card statements showed that the robber spent hundreds of dollars shopping at Hanes Mall.
"He went on a shopping spree and didn`t give daddy another thought," said Brown.
A concerned daughter wants someone with information leading to this thief's whereabouts to come forward before he does the same thing again.
"I just pray to God somebody will recognize him because he needs to be off the street, and if he`s not caught it`s not going to be the last. It`s going to be some other poor person that`s gone be terrorized," said Brown.
Anyone with information regarding this case is asked to contact Winston-Salem police at (336) 272-2800.
