The aircraft was a Lockheed P38 Lightning F-5C serial number 42-67245. The F-5C was a photographic reconnaissance version of the Lightning and was unarmed, being loaded instead with photographic cameras and coloured in a distinctive photographic reconnaissance blue. At the time of the crash the aircraft was being operated by the 27th Photographic Reconnaissance Squadron of the 7th Photographic Reconnaissance Group of the Eighth United States Army Air Force. The unit was based at Mount Farm and at the time of the crash was busy photographing the northern coastline of France in preparation for D-day. On 6th April 1944 Lieutenant Ernest E Johnston took off for a camera test in 42-67245. At 25,000 feet and whilst flying over the town of Swindon in Wiltshire Lt Johnston noticed smoke which appeared to be coming from the port engine. At this time the fuel pressure gauge was reading 24lbs which was higher than normal, but appeared to be the only instrument not reading normal. Lt Johnston then noticed fuel coming from the leading edge cover and streaming across the wing; he then called the control tower at Mount Farm and while receiving a vector, saw flames coming from the port engine. He then rolled the aircraft onto its back and baled out safely. Eyewitness accounts say that he was descending by parachute for what seemed a long time and that the parachute was being violently buffeted by thermals. The abandoned P38 screamed earthwards and impacted the ground at Artis Farm, Swindon Road, Wroughton, Wiltshire in a field adjacent to where the M4 motorway now runs. The ground conditions at the time were reported to be very wet and one eyewitness claimed that the aircraft was swallowed up by the wet ground.

Distance from hotel (via boat ride) to Venezia/Tessera - Marco Polo Airport (VCE), 45 minutes. Distance from hotel (via boat ride) to town, 10 minutes.
A place of aspiration: Venice, "La Serenissima", casts a spell over people like hardly any other city in Europe. There is a countless number of myths and stories, a century-old history and the lagoon city was the secret star of various books and movies.
Right on the doorstep of Venice, on the private island San Clemente, there is the San Clemente Palace Kempinski. Lush gardens, antique court yards, a historic church built in the 12th century - set in a former monastery, this place takes guests on a journey in time, while Piazza San Marco is just ten minutes away by boat.
Crossing the historic waters of Venice, this boat ride is already an exceptional experience, which gets visitors in the mood for an outstanding stay.
Thus, guests may discover Venice - but they do not have to.
There are 190 rooms and suites providing privacy and relaxation - surrounded by a lavish park or with views of the impressive skyline of Venice, the lagoon or the Lido. Classic decor, warm colors, the traditional high ceilings and the unequally spacious aisles, meet typical Venetian elements always recalling historic times.
Three restaurants and three bars serve the culinary delights always following the traditions of the world-famous Italian cuisine.
The restaurant Insieme is dedicated to providing a perfect start to the day and a diverse breakfast offer. The gourmet restaurant Acquerello offers modern creations and Venetian haute cuisine with a breathing view.
La Dolce is set in the park of San Clemente Palace Kempinski and also stands for Italian classics.
The private island boasts various leisure facilities and therefore is the perfect place for relaxation and action alike: there is a tennis court and a golf course, a heated outside pool, a jogging trail and the Kempi kids' club.
And if guests decide to go for lively Venice instead of serene San Clemente, there is a free-of-charge shuttle boat going from the hotel to Piazza San Marco every thirty minutes.

The roots of my interests in migrants' and laborers' lives in South Africa and China could perhaps partly be traced to my family's background and partly to my undergraduate studies at University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). I don't know much about my grandparents on both sides of the family, but I do know that they were from the Chaoshan area in Guangdong Province, China before they settled in Vietnam at staggered times. Because of my grandparents' origin, we are considered to be Chaozhou, Chiuchow, or Teochew people, depending on which dialect you speak.

My mother is a pack rat and refuses to throw anything away. In our washroom contains face creams and toners from 20+ years ago of which she hasn't touched for years, and most likely expired. One year I attempted to throw them away only to have her rescue them from the garbage, so that she can use them now as body lotions instead.
I'm sure we have all encountered expired face creams and other beauty products, some signs which include:
- a change in colour
- a change in product consistency
- a change in smell
Not only could this mean bacterial growth, but that the product's the active ingredient (whether it is anti-aging or whitening) may have diminished in effectiveness.
Manufacturers of most beauty creams actually provide guidance on recommended product life from the time it is opened by an opened jar symbol on the back, with the number of months in the middle. A sample of what I had at home ranged from 6 months to 2 years.
Mind you, if the product hasn't finished, I would probably extend the life myself for another few months, but it's good to have a reference to compare against!

Washington Area Residents Take Green Living to the Extreme, Perturbing Families
Monday, April 20, 2009
Near Leesburg, a woman parks her hybrid car and erases its computer memory. She doesn't want her husband to find out she's getting just 30-something miles per gallon.
In Takoma Park, a dirty plastic to-go container forces a woman to face down her brother. He thinks she should wash it out and reuse it at another restaurant. She thinks . . . no.
And in western Loudoun County, a family quietly defies a mother's rules. She likes locally raised bacon, whole-grain bread and raw milk. But somebody keeps smuggling in Chef Boyardee.
This is life on the dark -- or at least the cranky -- side of green.
Across the Washington region, a few residents have embraced eco-friendly living with a fervor that makes Al Gore look like an oil company lobbyist. They give up everything from furnace heat (too many emissions) to store-bought meat (too much factory farming) to plans for a second child (too much of everything, given the average American's environmental impact).
But for the people who have to live with these enthusiasts, this much green can sometimes be hard to take.
In many households, the result is a bubbling mix of bemusement, tension and furtive resistance. But the Washington area has already had at least one green divorce.
"You're kind of in a perpetual state of feeling like you're not measuring up," said Janet Tupper, 50, of Cheverly, who is still happily married to her environmentalist husband. Because of his convictions, they layer up indoors during the winter: The house's heat usually comes from a single stove burning wood pellets.
"I'm behind it. I'm supportive. I wish, you know -- I wish it was easier," Tupper said. "Our kids complain about us living like the Amish."
For those Washington area residents trying to give their families an eco-overhaul, the idea is that Earth Day -- or at least the plant-a-tree, change-a-light bulb way Earth Day will be celebrated Wednesday -- isn't nearly enough.
They say that such problems as climate change and polluted waterways demand immediate shifts in the rhythms of modern living.
"The American way of life, as we've come to know it, just uses -- wastes -- too many resources," said Sat Jiwan Iklé-Khalsa, 31, a green-building consultant who lives in Takoma Park. Iklé-Khalsa said he wants his home, where he lives with his wife, his 2-year-old daughter and his sister, to be an example to others that "you can have a pretty normal and happy life by making these small changes."

Visible Health shall audit access and activity of electronic protected health information (ePHI) applications and systems in order to ensure compliance. The Security Rule requires healthcare organizations to implement reasonable hardware, software, and/or procedural mechanisms that record and examine activity in information systems that contain or use ePHI. Audit activities may be limited by application, system, and/or network auditing capabilities and resources. Visible Health shall make reasonable and good-faith efforts to safeguard information privacy and security through a well-thought-out approach to auditing that is consistent with available resources.
It is the policy of Visible Health to safeguard the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of applications, systems, and networks. To ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place and effective, Visible Health shall audit access and activity to detect, report, and guard against:
- Network vulnerabilities and intrusions;
- Breaches in confidentiality and security of patient protected health information;
- Performance problems and flaws in applications;
- Improper alteration or destruction of ePHI;
- Out of date software and/or software known to have vulnerabilities.
This policy applies to any subsystem of the Visible Health platform that stores, transmits, or processes ePHI.
Applicable Standards from the HIPAA Security Rule
- 45 CFR § 164.308(a)(1)(ii)(D) - Information System Activity Review
- 45 CFR § 164.308(a)(5)(ii)(B) & (C) - Protection from Malicious Software & Log-in Monitoring
- 45 CFR § 164.308(a)(2) - HIPAA Security Rule Periodic Evaluation
- 45 CFR § 164.312(b) - Audit Controls
- 45 CFR § 164.312(c)(2) - Mechanism to Authenticate ePHI
- 45 CFR § 164.312(e)(2)(i) - Integrity Controls
General Auditing Policies
- Responsibility for auditing information system access and activity is assigned to Visible Health's Security Officer. The Security Officer shall:
- Assign the task of generating reports for audit activities to the workforce member responsible for the application, system, or network;
- Assign the task of reviewing the audit reports to the workforce member responsible for the application, system, or network, the Privacy Officer, or any other individual determined to be appropriate for the task;
- Organize and provide oversight to a team structure charged with audit compliance activities (e.g., parameters, frequency, sample sizes, report formats, evaluation, follow-up, etc.).
- All connections to Visible Health are monitored. Access is limited to certain services, ports, and destinations. Exceptions to these rules, if created, are reviewed on an annual basis.
- Visible Health's auditing processes shall address access and activity at the following levels listed below. Auditing processes may address date and time of each log-on attempt, date and time of each log-off attempt, devices used, functions performed, etc.
- User: User level audit trails generally monitor and log all commands directly initiated by the user, all identification and authentication attempts, and data and services accessed.
- Application: Application level audit trails generally monitor and log all user activities, including data accessed and modified and specific actions.
- System: System level audit trails generally monitor and log user activities, applications accessed, and other system defined specific actions. Visible Health utilizes file system monitoring to assure the integrity of file system data.
- Network: Network level audit trails generally monitor information on what is operating, penetrations, and vulnerabilities. Much of this is handled by the Visible Health Business Associate Amazon Web Services.
- Visible Health shall log all incoming and outgoing traffic to into and out of its environment. This includes all successful and failed attempts at data access and editing. Data associated with this data will include origin, destination, time, and other relevant details that are available to Visible Health.
- Visible Health treats its Developer Portal as a Platform Add-on and, as such, it logs all activity associated with Developer Portal Access.
- Visible Health shall identify "trigger events" or criteria that raise awareness of questionable conditions of viewing of confidential information. The "events" may be applied to the entire Visible Health Platform or may be specific to a Customer, partner, business associate, Platform Add-on or application (See Listing of Potential Trigger Events below).
- Logs are reviewed weekly by Security Officer.
- Visible Health's Security Officer and Privacy Officer are authorized to select and use auditing tools that are designed to detect network vulnerabilities and intrusions. Such tools are explicitly prohibited by others, including Customers and Partners, without the explicit authorization of the Security Officer. These tools may include, but are not limited to:
- Scanning tools and devices;
- Password cracking utilities;
- Network "sniffers."
- Passive and active intrusion detection systems.
- The process for review of audit logs, trails, and reports shall include:
- Description of the activity as well as rationale for performing the audit.
- Identification of which Visible Health workforce members will be responsible for review (workforce members shall not review audit logs that pertain to their own system activity).
- Frequency of the auditing process.
- Determination of significant events requiring further review and follow-up.
- Identification of appropriate reporting channels for audit results and required follow-up.
- Vulnerability testing software may be used to probe the network to identify what is running (e.g., operating system or product versions in place), whether publicly-known vulnerabilities have been corrected, and evaluate whether the system can withstand attacks aimed at circumventing security controls.
- Testing may be carried out internally or provided through an external third-party vendor. Whenever possible, a third party auditing vendor should not be providing the organization IT oversight services (e.g., vendors providing IT services should not be auditing their own services - separation of duties).
- Testing shall be done on a routine basis, currently monthly.
- Software patches and updates will be applied to all systems in a timely manner. In the case of updates to correct known vulnerabilities, priority will be given to testing to speed the time to production. Critical security patches are applied within 30 days from testing and all patches are applied within 90 days after testing.
Audit Requests
- A request may be made for an audit for a specific cause. The request may come from a variety of sources including, but not limited to, Privacy Officer, Security Officer, Customer, Partner, or an Application owner or application user.
- A request for an audit for specific cause must include time frame, frequency, and nature of the request. The request must be reviewed and approved by Visible Health's Privacy or Security Officer.
- A request for an audit must be approved by Visible Health's Privacy Officer and/or Security Officer before proceeding. Under no circumstances shall detailed audit information be shared with parties without proper permissions and access to see such data.
- Should the audit disclose that a workforce member has accessed ePHI inappropriately, the minimum necessary/least privileged information shall be shared with Visible Health's Security Officer to determine appropriate sanction/ corrective disciplinary action.
- Only de-identified information shall be shared with Customer or Partner regarding the results of the investigative audit process. This information will be communicated to the appropriate personnel by Visible Health's Privacy Officer or designee. Prior to communicating with customers and partners regarding an audit, it is recommended that Visible Health consider seeking risk management and/or legal counsel.
Review and Reporting of Audit Findings
- Audit information that is routinely gathered must be reviewed in a timely manner, currently monthly, by the responsible workforce member(s).
- The reporting process shall allow for meaningful communication of the audit findings to those workforce members, Customers, or Partners requesting the audit.
- Significant findings shall be reported immediately in a written format. Visible Health's security incident response form may be utilized to report a single event.
- Routine findings shall be reported to the sponsoring leadership structure in a written report format.
- Reports of audit results shall be limited to internal use on a minimum necessary/need-to-know basis. Audit results shall not be disclosed externally without administrative and/or legal counsel approval.
- Security audits constitute an internal, confidential monitoring practice that may be included in Visible Health's performance improvement activities and reporting. Care shall be taken to ensure that the results of the audits are disclosed to administrative level oversight structures only and that information which may further expose organizational risk is shared with extreme caution. Generic security audit information may be included in organizational reports (individually-identifiable e PHI shall not be included in the reports).
- Whenever indicated through evaluation and reporting, appropriate corrective actions must be undertaken. These actions shall be documented and shared with the responsible workforce members, Customers, and/or Partners.
Auditing Customer and Partner Activity
- Periodic monitoring of Customer and Partner activity shall be carried out to ensure that access and activity is appropriate for privileges granted and necessary to the arrangement between Visible Health and the 3rd party. Visible Health will make every effort to assure Customers and Partners do not gain access to data outside of their own Environments.
- If it is determined that the Customer or Partner has exceeded the scope of access privileges, Visible Health's leadership must remedy the problem immediately.
- If it is determined that a Customer or Partner has violated the terms of the HIPAA business associate agreement or any terms within the HIPAA regulations, Visible Health must take immediate action to remediate the situation. Continued violations may result in discontinuation of the business relationship.
Audit Log Security Controls and Backup
- Audit logs shall be protected from unauthorized access or modification, so the information they contain will be made available only if needed to evaluate a security incident or for routine audit activities as outlined in this policy.
- All audit logs are encrypted in transit and at rest to control access to the content of the logs.
- Audit logs shall be stored on a separate system to minimize the impact auditing may have on the privacy system and to prevent access to audit trails by those with system administrator privileges. This is done to apply the security principle of "separation of duties" to protect audit trails from hackers.
Workforce Training, Education, Awareness and Responsibilities
- Visible Health workforce members are provided training, education, and awareness on safeguarding the privacy and security of business and ePHI. Visible Health's commitment to auditing access and activity of the information applications, systems, and networks is communicated through new employee orientation, ongoing training opportunities and events, and applicable policies. Visible Health workforce members are made aware of responsibilities with regard to privacy and security of information as well as applicable sanctions/corrective disciplinary actions should the auditing process detect a workforce member's failure to comply with organizational policies.
- Visible Health Customers are provided with necessary information to understand Visible Health auditing capabilities
External Audits of Information Access and Activity
- Prior to contracting with an external audit firm, Visible Health shall:
- Outline the audit responsibility, authority, and accountability;
- Choose an audit firm that is independent of other organizational operations;
- Ensure technical competence of the audit firm staff;
- Require the audit firm's adherence to applicable codes of professional ethics;
- Obtain a signed HIPAA business associate agreement;
- Assign organizational responsibility for supervision of the external audit firm.
Retention of Audit Data
- Audit logs shall be maintained based on organizational needs. There is no standard or law addressing the retention of audit log/trail information. Retention of this information shall be based on: A. Organizational history and experience. B. Available storage space.
- Reports summarizing audit activities shall be retained for a period of six years.
- Log data is currently retained and readily accessible for a 30 days. Beyond that, log data is available via cold backup.
Potential Trigger Events
- High risk or problem prone incidents or events.
- Business associate, customer, or partner complaints.
- Known security vulnerabilities.
- Atypical patterns of activity.
- Failed authentication attempts.
- Remote access use and activity.
- Activity post termination.
- Random audits.

Quick word about Tamra's wedding dress shopping
The whole time I'm crossing my fingers saying to myself "Oh please Gretchen don't try on a dress, oh pls Gretchen don't try on a dress…"
She didn't. Whew. After seeing her leave the house in a red coat dress and huge engagement ring (for someone ELSE's wedding dress shopping trip) I totally expected her to be embarrass herself.
In Gretchen's defense, she was dressed to attend a speaking engagement later in the day so she gets a pass on the "OMG LOOK AT ME" outfit.
Lauri Peterson…/sigh
To say that I wasn't altogether optimistic about Lauri's return to RHOC would be putting it mildly but I thought I'd give her a couple episode head start before I started calling her out…
Here goes.
Lauri is that girl who heard a rumor about you and repeats it…she doesn't say more than what she heard or saw but lets her audience fill in the blanks with their own imagination. That way she can't be called a liar.
She thinks this is clever (lol). The way this woman grand stands while saying nothing at all is astounding.
If I wanted to hear rumors about people I didn't know I'd sit at a bar in WeHo, order an overpriced margarita and pretend to play with my iPhone for an hour… Duh.
OMG best song ever.
Anyway, I hope Lori adds more to the plot than rumors about Vicki and Brooks. That shit already bores me.
Brooks' pornstar adventures: My take
This girl probably went out to lunch with Brooks ONCE…being a young girl in Hollywood, in order to overstate her importance she may or may not have exaggerated to impress her friends…with unintended consequences.
…you know, like Natalie Nunn did on Bad Girls Club when she said she dated Chris Brown (who to this day says he doesn't know who the fuck Natalie is…lol)
I'm not going to defend Brooks. He definitely has that "10 wives in 10 different states" type vibe about him…
but you know what else? VICKI IS AN ADULT and has a right to
My take on Brianna
Holding your mother hostage by withdrawing your affection and access to her grandson is NOT going to solve anything and running around acting like YOU know what's best for her is fucking absurd.
It's childish, annoying and quite frankly it terrifies the fuck out of me that you have a child of your own.
Take care of yourself first because I can see straight through your façade, sweetheart, and let me tell you something…deployment isn't a magical eraser. All the problems will still be there when he comes home. You can call me a bitch all you want. I'm right.
Girl, I wish you the best but you're t minus 25 years away from being Tamra Barney.
Yes, you can quote me on that :-)

Anyway, that has very little to do with this post. I grabbed a box to ship the salt in, but there were a few inches of extra space and I didn't want the salt to be knocking around in the mail. What to stuff it with? I had some extra chunky yarn left over in my stash, so decided to make some really quick (really, really quick) wristies for her. I imagine her wearing them at pool tournaments, cuz she's a stylin' lady.
Here I am attempting to model them. Not much luck with the camera.

Recent Installations
First SuperCap
During 2018, Sunray Power Company installed our first SuperCap high energy solar storage device in Zambia. This is a first in the country and introduces Zambia to a new era in energy storage.
The supercap, with a 45 year service life and 100 000 cycles, is the ideal companion for PV solar. The very high charge and discharge rates, coupled with incredible cycle life is the perfect match for the intermittent nature of PV solar.
The system comprised of
- 6x 3.55kWh Sirius SuperCaps
- 2x 5kW Mecer 5kVA Inverters
- 24x 320W PV Panels
- Aluminium roof mount structure
- Comprehensive battery monitoring
Zietsman 3kVA
This installation was done on 3 May on a farm near Mukushi. The system comprised of a large, 2 x 3 x 200Ah battery bank, connected to our very popular 3kVA eMax inverter and powered by 9 x 250W Solar panels. In addition to the built-in MPPT of the inverter, an additional charger was used for the extra panel capacity. This turned out to be a very elegant system for the clients' need.
Chongwe AC Pump Conversion
On 20 April, Sunray did an installation in Chongwe that converted an existing pump that was powered by a generator to run from solar power. This conversion used one of our highly sophisticated solar pump controllers, and, together with high quality panels and technical expertise, will now pump water for free deep into the future.
1Hp, 220V single phase AC Pump
9x 120W High Voltage solar panels

2 Everyone utters lies to his neighbor;
with flattering lips and a double heart they speak.

Inside Unmanned Systems provides actionable business intelligence to decision-makers and influencers operating within the global UAS community. Features include analysis of key technologies, policy/regulatory developments and new product design.
Issue link: https://insideunmanned.epubxp.com/i/866795
AIR MARKET ANALYSIS 20 unmanned systems inside August/September 2017 "There is agriculture in the forecast but it's less than it was before," Finnegan told Inside Unmanned Systems. Part of the problem is that the algorithms supporting the sector aren't fully developed. Moreover, because the technology still has a ways to go, "some of the earlier adopt- ers may have gotten burned—they didn't get what they were promised in terms of output." Agriculture also lacks the structural ad- vantage of other sectors, like energy, where a handful of global companies can quickly adapt and adopt new technology across all their op- erations—driving rapid growth. "Worldwide enterprises, like for example oil and gas companies, they develop a pro- gram, they examine exactly where the use of the UAS is feasible and they start using it in those areas on a worldwide basis," Finnegan said. "So it has the potential to develop very quickly, worldwide, based on these large en- terprises. You don't have that in agriculture." "Agriculture is potentially a very large market," Finnegan concluded, "but it's going to de- velop relatively slowly." Kara agreed, saying his firm felt some of the early assertions that agriculture would be the primar y market "just didn't ring true." "This is a good example of where, in theory, everything would kind of come together," said Kara. You ture: the huge markets in agriculture and drone delivery. Development in these markets is run- ning slower than in other sectors so their potential largely falls outside of the 10-year forecast period. have private land where the regulatory burdens are less and you have a real need to cut back on the amount of pesticides and other types of chemicals that you put down. "All of that is true," Kara said, "and the tech- nology has improved—but there's still these other gating factors where they're just not interested." Part of that lack of interest is tied to farm commodity prices and some is because small- er farmers are not interested in taking on the technology. "We started going deeper into that and then brought down the numbers considerably," Kara said. While this sector is still "growing pretty robustly in terms of total ecosystem revenue" ABI is going to be re-evaluating the future of that market as well as others including film and media. "We just do not see this evolving in the same time frame or even near what other people are saying after our conversations with people." Betting On the Future However the individual sectors rise and fall, the investors are declaring their faith in the UAS industry with hard cold cash. "The last two full years were a particularly heady one for drone venture capital investment," reported Teal. "The largest 60 companies for venture capital investment brought in three times as much investment in 2015 as the previ- ous year. Investment soared from $155.5 million in 2014 to $486.4 million in 2015. It declined only slightly in 2016 to $454.5 million." As of the spring of 2017 that trend was still holding, Teal reported, with venture capitalists (VCs) in- vesting $168 million in the industry during the first four months of the year. Overall, a total of $1.35 billion in venture capital has been invested from 2012 through the beginning of May 2017 in the 60 largest drone companies targeted by the VCs. " THE TECHNOLOGY HAS IMPROVED— BUT THERE'S STILL THESE OTHER GATING FACTORS WHERE THEY'RE JUST NOT INTERESTED."

Today, I would like to bring your attention to a brother barely known by Haitians in the USA. His name is the Honorable Charles Barron. I could spend time telling you about him, but it is best that I let you read his own words on how the US government has been exploiting Haiti for more than a century with no interruption! Here are the words of the Honorable Charles Barron.
Honorable Charles Barron on Haiti: In America, we often speak of Haiti as a poor country. Haiti has historically been an exploited country. Haiti is actually a very rich country, rich in spirit, rich in culture, rich in natural resources. However, what we don't want to talk about here today is America's responsibility in the exploitation of Haiti through imperialistic foreign policies toward Haiti. Remember that the Marines invaded Haiti. The United States occupied Haiti on July 28, 1915. The United States through imperialism and colonialism occupied Haiti. We exploited Haiti. The US took out the natural resources of Haiti and brought in American corporations. Haitian women used to make baseballs for baseball players in America that knock them out the park, and they make more money than the Haitian woman who made those balls just for the time they rounded the bases after they hit the home run. America supported Papa Doc and Jean Claude Duvalier who was a murderer, a dictator. America supported Francois Duvalier murdering Haitian people because he along with Baby Doc allowed for the exploitation of Haiti.
That's what America did. Yeah! That's what America did, and so we sit here talking about how racist Trump is. Of course, Trump needs to be hit every way you can hit him. Nevertheless, we should not let Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton hide behind a Trump hit when they exploited Haiti as well when money was supposed to be given to the Haitian population. Don't let the American President Woodrow Wilson and others who came after him hide behind Trump. Trump is horrible! He is a racist and fascist, everything you can think of. If he can create any other names he's that too. What we don't want to talk about is how the United States contributes to the destruction of the local Haitian economy. We don't want to talk about policies even under the previous president (Barack Obama) that was hurtful to Latin America, hurtful to Africa where we strengthen military bases in Africa and not humanitarian aid. We don't want to talk about that.
The Honorable Charles Barron on Haiti: USA and France owe a debt to Haiti
We need to do so because America owes a huge debt to Haiti, and so does France. Oh yeah, they owe a debt too. How dare France say Haiti has to pay them reparations after they colonize Haiti. Both France and America owe Haiti reparations to repair the damage that these countries did. You all come up here talking about we are all Americans and we have the same blood and all of that stuff. I can tell you that the American government needs to pay Haiti their reparations. We need to tell French to pay Haiti their reparations. Worse than the earthquake are colonialism and imperialism. That's worse than an earthquake because that lasts a long time. It lasts for centuries. America and other foreign powers owe a debt to Haiti for bringing death and destruction after the revolution of Bookman, Dessalines, Henri Christophe liberate Haiti from France. They were beating France so badly and Napoleon was getting whipped that the French had to sell Louisiana to America because of the Haitian revolution.
Honorable Charles Barron: Why we need to understand Haiti's History
We need to understand that history so when we get up here and talk about natural disasters like an earthquake. Don't forget the human disaster of imperialism and capitalism. Don't forget how its tentacles of racism reach across the globe and create poverty, death, and destruction in smaller countries that they could bully with their military forces. So as we stand for our brothers and sisters who are victims of this earthquake, we should always remember that we have a responsibility of making the foreign policy of America more humane and just for the countries that they exploited. America has an ugly history of exploitation and imperialism that we don't want to discuss. We need to pay these countries back. They deserve it, and we owe it to them.
Here you have it, the own words of the Honorable Charles Barron, 60th Assembly District of New York. The voices of the likes of Charles Barron are not very popular. However, the story is there for those who are curious enough to look for it. How many of us in Haitian communities throughout the US know about this brother? I did not know about him until my sister sent me a video of him, I know a lot of good brothers and sisters who would stick their necks out for Haiti. I just did not know that this brother would actually stand up in front of lawmakers of his district to shed light on how the US government has crippled Haiti's economy. He had the sense to put it in the context of global US imperialism even by calling out the first brother who became President of the USA. Yep! It all comes down to how much Haitian leaders are willing to stand up for Haiti instead of their own individualistic goals. Regardless of how you think of it, the job of foreign governments is to take advantage of other countries. Until you stick that into our brain, we will always be seen as a "shithole" nation even by those who are classy enough not to say it.

End of Summer Special!
Hello Crafters!
Soak up the sun one last time before the summer season ends! In honor of the back-to-school spirit, we are having an End of Summer Special, where all of our yarns will be 10% off starting 8/29 and ending 9/5 . Take advantage of all the new items that have been added to our Clearance section.
Wool crepe yarns seem to be flying off the shelves lately, so to add to the frenzy, we have developed a new wool crepe yarn with a metallic twist for that extra shine and polish. It will surely add that special *bling* to any project.
Not sure what to make with all of the wonderful yarns you purchased? No problem! Simply check out our Patterns page to scroll through and download free knit / crochet projects. You can also browse through our older blog posts to find featured artist projects with free downloadable patterns!
The approaching end to another great summer at the mill means that we will soon be in full swing creating the perfect fall and winter yarns to get you through the colder months.
Having fun with crocheting and hand dyeing:
In my free time I have been crocheting simple flowers using our Glimmer Cotton Rayon yarn in natural. This yarn is a gem to crochet with, the unique Z twist of the yarns make it an ideal choice for crocheting any project. The cotton content of this yarn also means that it is easy to dye, both chemically and naturally, (the purple/blue flowers pictured above were dyed with blueberries). I highly recommend using this yarn to create beanie hats as well! I will keep you all up to date with what projects I can come up with using the mill's fabulous yarns, so stay posted.
Happy Crafting!

National Teacher Day
In 2013, National Teachers Day will be May 7. Every day, teachers make a meaningful difference in the lives of countless students across the world. For some students, many of their fondest memories were made at school. Teaching is a daunting job that is often overlooked but very critical in a person's intellectual as well as emotional development.
In 2014, National Teacher's Day will be held on May 6, 2014. The overarching goal of National Teacher's Day is to recognize educators for their dedication to ensuring that every student receives a quality education. The work of teachers should be celebrated by students, parents, and the community as a whole not simply on National Teacher Day but every day. For ideas on how to recognize the important and necessary work undertaken by teachers, consider visiting the National Educators Association (NEA) website at http://www.nea.org.

text: It is monsoon season in Laos between May and September with rains regularly hitting over 200 mm. April, May and June regularly reach over 35°C (95 °F), so it is an ideal time to head for the slightly cooler climes of the hilly north, the picturesque town of Luang Prabang being a favored base to explore the surrounding area. The monsoons see an already green country burst into ever more vibrant shades of green, and hundreds of waterfalls across the country come alive. Laos is much loved by travelers to South East Asia who find the relentless hustle and bustle of neighboring Thailand and Vietnam a bit much and want a gentler, quieter, and more leisurely trip. Even the capital itself rarely gets above village pace.

As I'm sure one of your smart friends has told you, everyone who has participated in the ALS #IceBucketChallenge is either a narcissist or a sheep.
The idiots don't know what ALS stands for or who Lou Gehrig was.
It makes me cry to think about the clean water being wasted or the amount of energy it took to produce all of that ice, contributing—boom, ironically!—to global warming.
It's stupid when you really think about it: Shouldn't people be challenged to give $100 rather than dousing themselves with water for only $10? (Duh, really.)
Frankly, I'd write a check for $100 right now if I didn't have to see another one of those insipid videos in my Facebook feed.
As a well-respected expert has noted, the campaign is going to contribute to so much donor fatigue that every other charity in the world will suffer. Is that even fair? And do you think any of those numbskulls—boom, literally!—will ever give to ALS again. Then you're an idiot, too.
Frankly, this is such a classic example of the WRONG way to fundraise that I'm planning on using #TheIceBucketChallenge as a case study in every strategic communications class I ever teach again.
And yet... as of this morning... the phenomenon has generated more than $31.5 million in donations over a few weeks, including gifts from 637,527 new donors.
That's nearly $30 million more than the ALS Association raised a year ago during the same period. And $30 million (against virtually no expense) that ALSA can invest in research to combat an insidious disease that has no cure, no means of prevention, no drugs to halt or reverse, and always ends in death.
Maybe it's time to recognize cynicism as a national disease—one that is spread all too quickly via snarky social media posts.
That's why I'm officially naming August 20 National Cynicism Awareness Day.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE? (8/21/14) Evidently, social-media sheep still haven't gotten the message that ALSA is fundraising the wrong way, since contributions have now climbed to $41.8 million this morning, including gifts from 739,275 new donors.
PLEASE, MAKE IT STOP (8/23/14) Is clogging my Facebook feed with banal videos really worth the $62.5 million in donations that the ALSA has now raised through this phenomenon? Ugggggh.
$100 MILLION, REALLY? (8/29/14) ALS tops $100 million in 30 days...and that's remarkable...no matter how cynical you are.
