On the WWW everybody has no less than one furious client, so I was somewhat wary at to start with, yet I have not been disillusioned. I have constantly gotten incite and proficient reactions to my bolster demands, even the idiotic ones :)
Java Web Hosting is likewise one of few that, regardless of the sensible value, still gives a genuine Java benefit where you can really run genuine Java applications. It's not a chopped down over-limited HTTP server with a celebrated servlet runner connected to it, yet your very own full Tomcat decision, arranged the way you need it.
Taking all things together, my involvement with Java Web Hosting has been a reviving breath of trustworthiness and demonstrable skill in an industry that has more than what's coming to its of spoiled apples.

Reviving. That is the word to depict Java facilitating with Strategic Services Group. The distinction is client administration and ability in Java and Java related advancements. At the point when the execution of my site began slacking they planned a server update before I even said it. In the event that I have an issue nightfall they generally react to my demand. With different hosts I discovered they were not able legitimately arrange Tomcat or couldn't bolster an innovation like Hibernate. That is not the situation here. They help make our site a win.

Christmas story offers hope for modern problems
Christmas story offers hope for modern problems
Movement of peoples, acts of terrorism, the clashing of political powers, religious extremism, hope and despair. They are the stories and images in our daily news. They are also part of the first Christmas story.
Presbyterian Church Moderator, the Rt Rev Andrew Norton believes that in considering these modern challenges, the Christmas narrative has significant relevance.
"Today as we struggle to make sense of our world, we need look no further than the Christmas story to help us respond to events like the current refugee crisis and terrorism.
"Like millions of displaced Syrians today, Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus were also refugees. They were forced from Bethlehem by extremism and sought a compassionate land to take them in.
"They were fleeing in fear because King Herod the Great, a man obsessed with power and violence, wanted to murder Jesus. He decreed that all baby boys in Bethlehem under the age of two be killed. Mary, Joseph and Jesus fled and found save haven in Egypt, returning to their homeland years later after Herod's death."
The Christmas story is one of hope, of bravery and generous hospitality says Andrew.
"While terrorists claim victory through fear, the Christmas message is 'fear not'.
"Those who 'fear not' are like the innkeepers who open the doors of their hearts in hospitality to those in need.
"Those who 'fear not' are the wise men and women who speak out and take action against violence in our communities and in our world.
"Those who 'fear not' are the gift givers who practice generosity and goodwill towards all people.
"The gift of Jesus is hope for the world because love drives out all fear. Fear not!" says Andrew.

Silver Lining
Huh. Last time I posted I was planning on heading off for birds, photos and adventure within 24 hours. One poor lunch or dinner decision, (not really sure which), and I found myself spending hours contemplating the decor of my bathroom, if you catch my drift. After shifting a planned Friday off to a Wednesday of recovery and spending a Thanksgiving giving thanks for noodle soup and ginger ale I was ready for some good local birding on Saturday. My guess was that being forced to abandon travel plans was a push towards staying local and going back for closer shots of the national A-list bird, the Ross's Gull which had remained at Cherry Creek Reservoir. Unfortunately, I and many others were unable to relocate the bird today, it has apparently moved on. But, starting a beautiful Saturday in a state park surrounded by nature is never a wasted effort.
I spotted this juvenile Red-Tailed Hawk perched just off one of the roads. I was a ways off, but was able to shoot from my truck and get great looks at those pale irides - which will turn dark as this bird reaches adulthood.
The bird continued to scan the field below it, rather than spending much time looking at me or the other traffic, so I waited hoping to catch a flight shot. It dove, rose back to a perch as I followed the road which looped back below the original perch. Just as I drew near it dove again and caught its meal in some thick grass, just beyond where I had stopped.
The bird definitely knew I was close this time, but it was in deep cover and was not going to do anything other than eat. I stayed put and was thrilled to see the bird so close.
Just goes to show that nature can always provide a silver lining, even when plans and target birds fall through.

REEL: Our First Feature Film! March 17, 2018
We're making our first feature film- and that's really cool!
It's also self-funded! Which is whatever. I'm just excited to be here.
The script is pretty much done (though I've been saying that for months now), and the money is mostly saved. I am ready to get started, but I feel like someone pressed the slow mo button and is making me WAIT and BIDE MY TIME until it actually IS time to hit the ground running in June. This is mostly due to the fact that I've been working in Austin for the Hurricane Harvey relief efforts and it's not time for me to leave yet. I've been here since September and it doesn't look like I'll be leaving until mid-May. It's been a little rough recently, to be honest. I'm burned out, a little lonely, and just ready to work on this project full time.
Even though the process is slow at the moment because I'm waiting on work to release me, I am grateful for the time. It's allowing me to really think about how everything is going to be accomplished (it also puts extra cash in my pocket to survive putting it all together).
A BIG task was completed today: WE FOUND A LOCATION. Seriously, this is huge because 99.9% of the script happens there. What's also interesting is that the owner (I found the location on AirBnB) and I have mutual friends in common! Small world- she's super rad. She even pointed me in the direction of some potential crew. Her place is perfect. The layout is good, the color scheme is what I am looking for, the furnishings are great, there seems to be lots of space for movement, and the apartment itself is charming and is a character all on its own.
Everything seems to be falling into place…The Universe is interesting right? 🙂
Next steps:
- Shorten the script (it's at 102 pages. I need to get it down to at least 95).
- Realistically figure out our shooting days and confirm the dates.
- Auditions.
- Start collecting ALL OF THE VHS TAPES.
There's a lot more that needs to happen for pre-pro, but these are the big tasks coming up. I've got a meeting tomorrow morning with a friend, then Goober-cat and I head back to Austin.
I am excited about this journey!0

Mortuary Practices and Ritual Associations: Shamanic Elements in Prehistoric Funerary Contexts in South America
Ten papers plus an introduction, some of which are taken from a symposium held at the SAA in Chicago in 1999, on the recognition of shamanic traditions within funerary contexts in South America and how to address the diversity within the shamanic elements represented. This is not the place to find an in-depth discussion of the definition of shamanism, but it is where you will find a number of case studies.

"The doctor says I have depression."
My eight year old friend stared at me perplexed as I gulped down a handful of pills at our sleepover.
It was rather confusing to me as well.
After my dad "disappeared" one day, things changed.
My mom had to go back to work.
She was terrified that the end of her marriage would somehow destroy the lives of my brother and I.
But I wasn't the first and wouldn't be the last eight year old dealing with a broken home.
One day my mom loaded us into the car.
Even my wildest dreams couldn't imagine the importance of this day.
It was a day that would affect the rest of my life.
Following a long drive we arrived in front of a quaint little office building tucked neatly behind trees.
The interior was decorated like a cabin home.
It was quiet.
I sat innocently in the waiting room and began flipping through a magazine.
Eventually a man emerged from the large oak doors and after speaking with my mother, it was my turn.
"So… How are you?"
He offered.
I said quietly.
"What brings you in today?"
An odd question for my eight year old self.
"Ummm. I'm not really sure…"
He continued,
"Your mom informed about the situation at home. I can only imagine how hard that must be."
"Ummm. Yeah I guess."
"What are your thoughts on your Father's drinking behaviors?"
He solicited.
"It can be scary at times. But he's gone now."
"Yes. Can you explain to me what's happening…?"
"Ummm. I don't know. My parents don't love each other. They never did really. I was sleeping over at my friends house and when I came home my Dad was gone."
"Mhmm. Yes. And how does that make you feel?"
At last he had poked me hard enough to unleash the stream of tears he'd been seeking all along.
"It's fine."
Responding as he handed me a box of tissues,
"It sounds like you have depression. You can manage your symptoms with medication. I am writing you a prescription for some today.
And that was it.
Looking out the window on the drive home- completely oblivious to how that prescription would change the way I lived my life forever.
These trips to the doctor became routine.
Every visit resulting in a new handful of medications intended to "fix" me.
In a matter of months I was "diagnosed" with three more "conditions".
The doctor was constantly adding medications and never replacing them.
Each visit solidifying "I am crazy" and "I am broken" in my little head.
Eventually it reached a point when I was taking thirteen prescription medications.
If I wasn't broken to begin with, I surely would be now.
I was a pharmaceutical guinea pig.
Maybe that's the reason that to this day I have this deep seeded belief that I'm not normal.
That I'm defective.
That I need to swallow pills to function like other people.
18 years later I still take medication.
I have a handful of mental health conditions which vary based on the doctor you ask.
Currently I take 4 different medications which keep me right at the edge of sanity.
I've established as much of a "freedom" from medication as possible.
My body has been relying on meds for so long that I need them to just feel "okay" now.
I don't know who I am without medication.
There are times I still wish I could get the chance to meet myself.
My real self.
Times I feel that I've been robbed of my true identity.
How would my life would be different if my adversity was categorized as "life" instead of a "flaw that needs fixing"?
Maybe I would end up with the exact same prescription cocktail after all, even if I'd never become dependent on meds as a child.
The problem is that I'll never know.
Parents- If your child is going through a rough time PLEASE weigh ALL of your options before jumping into a treatment plan.
Don't commit to a permanent solution for a temporary problem.
I'm not disagreeing with medication.
I'm not blaming anyone.
I'm simply giving a voice to my eight year old self who didn't have one.

RONNIE O'SULLIVAN completed a double sporting success for England in Dublin last night when he defeated John Higgins in an epic Citywest Irish Masters final.
After England's rugby union players captured the Grand Slam at Lansdowne Road, O'Sullivan defeated Scotsman Higgins 10-9, finishing off with a break of 128 to take the £48,000 first prize.
It was the Rocket's second title of the month after defeating Higgins' fellow countryman Stephen Hendry in the European Open final at Torquay.
And his victory made him only the ninth player to capture back-to-back ranking titles.
It was hard luck on world number four Higgins, who played his part in arguably the most memorable final of the season so far.
Certainly it was a draining encounter and could see world number one O'Sullivan carry out his threat to withdraw from the Regal Scottish Open in Edinburgh starting on Saturday.
However, his thoughts tonight were simply on savouring another superb success when he again proved himself the master cueman.

Bellingham Investor Training
I have been asked to facilitate the Bellingham satellite meeting for the Real Estate Investors Association of Puget Sound (REAPS) on Wednesday, March 23, 2016.
I would like to focus on "Doing Your First Deal," getting started in real estate investing for the novice investor. I have been meeting for coffee with some of the newbies coming to the REAPS orientation at our main meeting, and many of them simply do not know how to get started. They assume they start with wholesaling or bird dogging, but they don't even know where to begin.
I would like to make the class very interactive and participatory, getting attendees to open up about where they are in their real estate investing, and hurdles they are having getting started. For many of them, it is even deciding WHAT they want to do; for some, it is the idea of buying their first primary residence, or finding more affordable housing, or generating quick cash. Some want to know about getting or using their real estate license.
For others who know what to do, it is simply taking action. Some fear or belief is holding them back from taking that first step. Plus, real estate investing IS NOT EASY, and I would want to focus on the realities of perseverance through frustration and rejection.
The class would also focus on REAPS membership tools designed to help them move forward in their real estate investment efforts, and we would identify audience members who might be able to partner or participate on a new investor's real estate team.
I would be using a very interactive Q&A format, developing some specific questionnaires, and giving each participant an opportunity to identify their own next steps in the next 30 days, possibly with an accountability partner.
If you are new to real estate investing, you may attend your first REAPS meeting for free. For more information on registering for this specific meeting, please go to www.REAPSweb.com
Happy Investing!

What we are witnessing is the rise of a new wave of the most dangerous arms race with totally unpredictable consequences.
At the moment it is unrealistic to expect a speedy improvement in US – Russia relations. This is to be regretted, but it is a fact: these relations have reached perhaps the lowest point and are even worse than during Soviet times – a really disturbing development.
The general public is aware that both nations are facing off on the political, economic, and informational fronts. However, they also confront each other in yet another area which is only followed by a narrow circle of experts, though it bears directly on the most important security issues facing the whole planet.
The reference is, of course, to major arms control treaties. These took many years and tremendous efforts to negotiate, and yet they now dissolve one after another.
Soraya Sepahpour-Ulrich : The United States has not changed its attitude towards Iran. Tactics change but goals don't. Iran has negotiated in good faith but must expect mischief from the U.S.
The UN Security Council (UNSC) on Monday unanimously adopted a resolution endorsing the Iran nuclear deal and paving the way to lifting longstanding sanctions on the Islamic Republic.
– UNSC unanimously votes in favor of lifting Iran sanctions
– All 15 members of UNSC vote in favor of lifting sanctions against Iran
– All UN nuclear-related sanctions against Iran will be removed in 90 days from UNSC approval.
– Any P5+1 country can raise what it considers violation of conclusion.
And now for something completely different!
NAIROBI, Kenya, July 21 (UPI) -- An anti-gay political party in Kenya plans to protest against U.S. President Barack Obama by greeting him with 5,000 "totally naked" protesters for his "open and aggressive support for homosexuality."
The Republican Liberty Party's "main objective is for him to see and understand the difference between a man and woman," according to a party statement.
The British royal family is up in arms – excuse the pun – over old video footage that shows the young Queen Elizabeth giving a Heil Hitler salute. A photograph published on its front page by British tabloid newspaper The Sun has caused a storm of controversy, with the British monarchy denouncing it as an invasion of privacy. But the real significance is that the image shows how Western so-called democracies were – and still are – so close to embracing fascism.
There was a consensus among Britain's ruling class during the 1930s that quietly but enthusiastically endorsed Hitler and fascism as a bulwark against democracy and socialism in particular.
Does she really think the American voters will overlook her criminal behavior and put her in the White House where she can pardon herself?
Recently, in conjunction with my colleagues Catherine Herridge and Pamela Browne, I read the transcripts of an interview Ms. Browne did with a man named Marc Turi, and Ms. Herridge asked me to review emails to and from State Department and congressional officials during the years when Hillary Clinton was the secretary of state.
What I saw has persuaded me beyond a reasonable doubt and to a moral certainty that Mrs. Clinton provided material assistance to terrorists and lied to Congress in a venue where the law required her to be truthful. Here is the backstory.
Mr. Turi is a lawfully licensed American arms dealer.
Iranians are celebrating the prospects of a long awaited relief from the economic pain that the sanctions had imposed upon the nation. While they blame the United States government for what they believe to have been an unjustified and unfair treatment, they are divided as to what the true motivating factors could have been behind America's animosity toward Iran.
The majority opinion points to America's insatiable appetite for a hegemonic control over the region and its energy resources. A much smaller segment of the population comprising of the more educated elites, believe that Israel and its Zionist supporters in the United States have been at the helm and steering America's foreign policy in the Middle East toward Israel's preferences, even at the expense of America's own strategic interests.
Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe's government has reportedly indicated, for the first time, that it may hand back land to some white farmers whose farms were forcibly taken away from them during the height of the country's controversial land reform programme.
This comes a decade and a half after the Zimbabwean government seized large swaths of land from white farmers in the country - a move that saw a drastic deterioration in the country's economy.
According to The Telegraph, Minister of Lands Douglas Mombeshora said provincial leaders had been tasked to come up with names of white farmers they wanted to remain on their farms. The farms should be "of strategic economic importance".
"We have asked provinces to give us the names of white farmers they want to remain on farms so that we can give them security of tenure documents to enable them to plan their operations properly," Mombeshora was quoted as saying.
Compensation process
Successful agriculture is not just achieved with luck; it is achieved through science and education.
Zimbabwe, formerly Rhodesia, used to be the breadbasket of Africa.
I have to wonder how many former farm owners will actually return; I would doubt it will be many, after having been kicked off their farms.
The government of Zimbabwe might well want to consider hiring agricultural specialists, who focus on food crop production, to teach the people who have the land how to get decent yields, and for the government to buy the tools necessary, to bring organic, sustainable methods to the process of farming in this country.
People around the world are paying a pretty penny these days for non-GMO crops; perhaps not a bad idea, in terms of the Zimbabwean government's long term agricultural focus.
The four remaining patients infected during Liberia's recent string of Ebola cases have recovered, meaning there are currently no confirmed cases in the country though more than 100 people are still under surveillance, a health official said Friday.
The US military's Africa Command (AFRICOM) is preparing to develop at least one new US drone and Special Forces base in North Africa, according to military officials cited by the Wall Street Journal.
The new base would initially host surveillance drones, but could soon be expanded to launching attack drones and Special Forces ground troops. New cadres of US military and intelligence forces stationed in North Africa would gather intelligence about targets associated with Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS or ISIL), US officials told the Journal.
Iran has sought negotiations with the U.S. for two decades, but both Democratic and Republican administrations favored hostility demanded by Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Now that Iran nuclear deal is completed, the attention of Western news media and political commentators is predictably focused overwhelmingly on the opposition to the agreement within the U.S. Congress and from Israel and the Saudi-led Sunni Arab coalition.
That media lens misses the real significance of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, which is that Iran succeeded in negotiating an agreement with the United States that upheld its national right to a nuclear program despite the obvious vast disparity in power between the two states. That power disparity between the global hegemon and a militarily weak but politically influential regional "middle power" has shaped not just the negotiating strategies of the two sides during the negotiations but, more importantly, how they came about in the first place.
The financial terms dictated to Athens over the latest so-called bailout is nothing less than the subjugation of a sovereign country to the dictate of German banks. The troubling question for several European states is: who's next?
I urge anyone who reads this to watch the video above called All Wars Are Bankers Wars that will reinforce my stance and opinion into a more digestible understanding of the how and why and greed and inhumanity, as there is far more going on here than I can put into this already over lengthy op-ed and I will now explain why and how we keep the wars going and in doing so make a small cartel of banksters richer… for here is the crux of it all and HERE is an example of exactly how I understand what happens…
On July 12, South Africa's deputy minister of traditional affairs, Obed Bapela, condemned the South Africa Israel Forum (SAIF) for brainwashing the future leadership of the country by sending them to the Zionist entity via all expenses paid trips. He said the student who participated in these trips, brought 'shame' to South Africa. He accused SAIF being part of Israeli campaign to distort ruling ANC's stand on occupied Palestine.
A second person in Liberia has died from Ebola in the latest resurgence of the deadly disease in the West African nation, an official said Wednesday.
The woman in her early 20s who died on July 12 was linked to the 17-year-old boy who died last month, Deputy Health Minister Tolbert Nyenswah told The Associated Press. Three other confirmed cases are being treated in Monrovia, he said.
In a rare rebuke to his bullying, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to stop the United States and five other world powers from reaching an agreement to constrain but not eliminate Iran's nuclear program. Yet, Netanyahu still is dominating how the U.S. public and congressional debate is being framed, with Iran accused of regional "aggression" in four countries.
There is little truth and much exaggeration to Netanyahu's depiction of what is going on in the Middle East. Yet, the U.S. mainstream media mindlessly reprises Netanyahu's falsehoods...
Netanyahu's reference to "Iran's aggression," which is now becoming a conventional-wisdom talking point in Official Washington, was curious since Iran has not invaded another country for centuries. In 1980, Saddam Hussein's Iraq – at the urging of Saudi Arabia – invaded Iran. But Iran has not invaded any of the four countries that Netanyahu cited.
There is a madness in how the mainstream U.S. media presents the world to the American people, a delusional perspective that arguably creates an existential threat to humanity's survival. We have seen this pattern in the biased depiction of the Ukraine crisis and now in how Official Washington is framing the debate over the Iranian nuclear agreement.
In this American land of make-believe, Iran is assailed as the chief instigator of instability in the Middle East. Yet, any sane and informed person would dispute that assessment, noting the far greater contributions made by Israel, Saudi Arabia and, indeed, the United States.
The larger issue for the American people is what to do with this insane political-media system that dominates Official Washington. Either these powers-that-be are detached from reality or they are deceitful propagandists who think they can manipulate us with lies and distortions.
I have sometimes thought that if wars could be shown in slow-motion, we could put an end to this barbarism that gives the lie to all claims of "civilization" and "humanity."
GAZA WRITES BACK is one of those very rare books that depicts war in slow motion.
The 23 stories here, written by 15 young authors (from late teens to early 30s, all but three female) were compiled to commemorate the 5-year anniversary of "Operation Cast Lead"—the name Israel gave to its 2008-2009 campaign to once more (but not finally) "mow the lawn" in Occupied Palestine—mostly, in this case, in Gaza.
It is a book that vivifies and personalizes the horrors, but also adumbrates the gnawing losses, the indelible memories.
Only once in a while does an Internet censorship law or regulation come along that is so audacious in its scope, so misguided in its premises, and so poorly thought out in its execution, that you have to check your calendar to make sure April 1 hasn't come around again.
The control of resources remains a core factor in US considerations for sustaining global US hegemony in the face of rising geopolitical influence of its major rivals,
Congratulations! – With a resounding "OXI" = "No" – with 61% the Greek rejected the troika imposed austerity. They joined a majority of economists worldwide, including from the IMF, who also know that austerity doesn't help recovery – and certainly doesn't wipe out debt, the noose around a country's neck.
But – what does the decisive no-vote mean for the 39% yes-voters? – Do they want more of austerity? – Hardly. Or were they manipulated with fear-mongering by the mostly privately owned western media, which also dominate Greece?– Blackmailed by the threats of Brussels? – Were they afraid of what's next? – Western presstitute media propaganda for a "yes" vote, spiked with fear, threats and purposeful confusion was horrendous.
The Greece referendum was a victory, and a victory can do wonders even to wet and wobbling leaders. It would be a shame to cast the pearl of Greece to the banker swine.
How to beat banksters at their own game?
A dead dog suspected of being the possible source for the re-emergence of Ebola in Liberia has tested negative for the disease, health officials said Tuesday, citing initial findings.
The new Ebola outbreak in Liberia last week was not unexpected, and more like it may occur, according to the UN special envoy on Ebola, Dr David Nabarro.
Liberia is working hard to contain Ebola and find the source of the latest infections of the deadly virus recorded this week.
The West African country previously succeeded in containing the outbreak, despite being initially the hardest hit with more than 4,800 deaths. The last recorded case before this latest emergence was on March 20, according to the World Health Organization.
In the wake of the Tunisia attack, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Defence Secretary Michael Fallon have called for MPs to consider sending British warplanes to target Isis in Syria.
Cameron is not expected to call a vote in parliament on the issue quite yet. He wants to be sure he can win after Ed Miliband effectively blocked military strikes against the regime of Bashar al-Assad in Syria in 2013. MP's did back British participation against Islamic State militants in Iraq a year later and the RAF has been carrying out strikes there since September, but have, so far, not targeted Syria.
"Mubarak, Tortorow and Awdheegle have fallen into the hands of al-Shabab within the past 24 hours," Awdheegle mayor, Mohamed Aweys Abokar, said on Thursday.
He added that hundreds of people, mostly civilians, fled the three towns for fear of their lives.
Liberia has confirmed a third new case of the deadly Ebola virus, as the disease has re-emerged in recent days nearly two months after the outbreak was declared over in the West African nation.
The discovery of new cases undermines the biggest success story of the West African Ebola outbreak which began last year, the deadliest ever.
Congolese human rights advocate and Student Coordinator and National Spokesperson for the Friends of the Congo Kambale Musavuli talks about the 90th birthday of slain revolutionary Patrice Lumumba and the continuing negative impact of that assassination on all of Africa.
Health workers stormed the Ministry of Health on Wednesday, demanding benefits as Liberia confirmed its second case of Ebola, seven weeks after the country was declared free of the virus.
Two French soldiers in Burkina Faso have been suspended over accusations of sexually abusing children, France's Defense Ministry says.
According to a statement released by the ministry on Tuesday, the two soldiers were suspected of "committing acts of a sexual nature" on children on Monday in the West African country.
The real issue holding things up is whether the Americans have the "political will" to make that leap, to agree in writing to its obligations (without 100 caveats) and the courage to face their sprawling bureaucracy whose bread-and-butter is the 'sanctions industry' and the 'Iranian enemy.' says Sharmine Narwani
It's D-Day in Vienna, and the parties sitting across the negotiating table still haven't ironed out terms to settle a 12-year standoff over Iran's nuclear program. Expect this deadline to be missed. And prepare for a lot of hot air to fill its space.
The "hot air" is calculated narrative-spin from a range of players that seek to 1) scuttle a deal, 2) increase pressure/create leverage at the negotiating table, or 3) frame an upcoming agreement in language favorable to one side.
Liberian authorities on Tuesday quarantined the Nedowein area where the corpse of a 17-year-old boy was found with Ebola, sparking fears this West African country could face another outbreak of the disease nearly two months after being declared Ebola-free.
Please forgive my cynicism and negative connotations in this letter but I find it is often necessary to infuse the negativity to emit action, anger and resolution.
Why do You allow the criminal, corporate media to continuously and incessantly lie to its citizens and not only misrepresent the facts but often fabricate stories in order to inflate the severity of the fiction?
All sort of things in these negotiations are going on behind the scenes, not only between the P5+1 and Iran but between the Western allies as well.
Additional demands on Iran at the nuclear talks put forward by France are basically impossible to fulfill; it's unlikely that they were made without the full knowledge and approval of the US, says political commentator Soraya Sepahpour-Ulrich.
Just ten years ago, Ghana had the most reliable electricity supply in all of Africa and the highest percentage of households connected to the grid in all of Africa – including South Africa. The Volta River Authority, the power producer and distributor was, in my very considerable experience, the best run and most efficient public utility in all of Africa. Indeed it was truly world class, and Ghana was proud of it.
Obviously the sight of truly successful public owned and run enterprise was too much of a threat to the neo-liberal ideologues of the IMF and World Bank. When Ghana needed some temporary financial assistance (against a generally healthy background) the IMF insisted that VRA be broken up. Right wing neoliberal dogma was applied to the Ghanaian electricity market. Electricity was separated between production and distribution, and private sector Independent Power Producers introduced.
The result is disaster.
Summing it up, President Putin speaks softly. If he carries a big stick, he does not flash it around.
Hail, fire and brimstone, new sanctions or the US tanks on its borders, Russia takes things in stride. President Putin could adopt the motto of William of Orange: saevis tranquillus in undis, calm amidst the tempest.
Israeli navy forces arrested on Monday the former Tunisian President Mohamed Moncef Marzouki, in attacks on Freedom Flotilla III, which was heading towards the besieged Gaza Strip.
The European campaign to lift the siege on Gaza reported that Marzouki refused to deal with the Israeli investigators, for he was abducted illegally by the Israelis.
What the Greek people can turn to is a realistic and altogether more democratic and humane option – of demanding their country slash its monstrous military spend.
Decades of exorbitant military spending account for Greece's present downfall under an Olympian-sized debt. European governments and news media portray the problem of Greece's financial woes as public spending profligacy.
A teenager has died of Ebola in a remote Liberian village, shattering hopes the nation defeated the disease in May when the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the country virus- free.
Tolbert Nyenswah, Liberian deputy minister for surveillance and disease control, said Tuesday that the virus had been positively identified in the 17-year-old boy's remains.
UK prime minister David Cameron has warned that Islamic State (Isis) militants are planning "terrible" attacks against Britain.
After a terrorist attack carried out by "Islamic State" (ISIL) militants on a hotel resort in Tunisia on June 26, that resulted in 39 people being killed, the situation in the country has begun to reach boiling point. This attack claimed more lives than any other massacre in the history of Tunisia. Tunisian authorities announced the closure of over 80 mosques, which, according to Prime Minister Habib Essid, have become the place where violence breeds. The public has not fully recovered from shock when on the following day a police car was blown up in the Kef governorate.
Guinea authorities have implemented a quarantine this week aimed at finally ending the spread of Ebola in the country's coastal region, the one area where the virus continues to claim lives.
The Delphi Declaration asks the European peoples, especially the Germans, to do the right thing and object to the plunder of Greece by the One Percent.
This appeal to goodwill is likely to fall on deaf ears even though the pillage of Greece will create a precedent that can then be applied to Italy, Spain, France, and even Germany.
European governments, European institutions and the IMF, acting in close alliance, if not under direct control of big international banks and other financial institutions, are now exercising a maximum of pressure, including open threats, blackmailing and a slander and terror communication campaign against the recently elected Greek government and against the Greek people.
The world must realize that the so-called troika – IMF, European Central Bank and European Commission, is literally blackmailing Greece and subjecting her to outright economic torture.
During the weekend of 20 and 21 June 2015 a forum of international scholars, scientists, economists, sociologists, political analysts – met in Delphi Greece to discuss Greece and Europe.
The organizers were the so-called "Delphi Initiative", sponsored by the Lyssarides Foundation in Cyprus, the Greek Institute for Research on Political Strategies, the Russian Institute for Globalization and Social Movements, and the Forum Mondial des Alternatives, France.
The World is Turning, Don't Let it Turn Away
Do not take the Latin American revolutions for granted.
They inspired the entire Planet. They brought hope to every corner of our scarred Earth. But now they are themselves in need of our support.
All of revolutionary Latin America is "screaming".
As I described in two of my recent books, "Exposing Lies Of The Empire" and "Fighting Against Western Imperialism", the Empire is using similar destabilization strategy against all countries that are resisting its deadly embrace.
We need to do a lot more searching, a lot deeper digging, if we're going to root out and destroy the virus that has been killing us for centuries!
For over half a century, I've written articles against racism and war. I was shocked and I grieved to see what happened at the Charleston Emanuel Church. Quickly, the call went out: We need to have a "conversation" about race in America! And, almost as quickly: Take down the Confederate flag! But, let's be very clear: the Confederate flag is NOT a central issue here.
On the 4th of July, when Americans raise their flags as a proud symbol of their "freedom," will anyone dare to lower their flags to half-mast to commemorate the 60,000 Americans who died in a now-acknowledged "unnecessary" war in Vietnam– let alone the millions of Asians?
Would it be disrespectful even to suggest such a gesture?
The Greek people are being penalized for having had the audacity to elect a socialist government – How dare they! – That's the verdict.
What the troika is doing to Greece these days is the pinnacle of financial terrorism.It is economic waterboarding. It is blackmailing of the first degree. These people are neoliberal fascists, putting the Greek government before a dilemma – 'either you present us with an acceptable list of austerities, or we will prepare one for you' – literally. An austerity plan you better accept, lest you may default and being expulsed from the European monetary union and maybe even the EU. That is their threat. That is what Brussels does to a brother; to one of theirs. There is not a shred of solidarity left in this miss-called 'Union'. This 'Union' doesn't deserve existing.
At least 37 people have been killed and 36 others wounded after a hotel in the Tunisian coastal city of Sousse came under attack by unidentified gunmen.
Despite hopes that the deadly Ebola outbreak could soon be contained in West Africa, it shows no signs of abating in Guinea and may be flaring up once more in Sierra Leone as people are flouting rules limiting travel meant to stop it.
The election in Guinea in October adds a new layer of worry for Guineans and health workers, with some residents saying that campaign events, in which people crowd together, shouldn't be held yet.
The deadly virus, which has killed over 11,100 people mostly in West Africa in its worst outbreak ever, has been stamped out in neighboring Liberia, but is hanging on stubbornly in Guinea, where the Ebola outbreak was first reported in March 2014. Impending presidential elections could make it even worse.
The prove-a-negative trap is the Big Lie technique of Nazi propagandist Josef Goebbels: there is no substance to the allegations and there is no obligation to present evidence to verify, thanks to the dutiful and unquestioning nature of Western corporate "journalism".
The United States and its Western allies are trying to ensnare Russia in an audacious disinformation trap over the Ukraine conflict. That trap involves imposing an insoluble conundrum on Vladimir Putin's government, which we might call "prove a negative". It is a familiar conceptual device that Washington has used elsewhere, against Iraq and Iran for example, in order to pursue what are otherwise illegitimate geopolitical aims.Russia is being held up as the guilty party that is undermining the shaky Minsk ceasefire; and Western economic sanctions are being extended "until Russia implements the ceasefire".
Graham Peebles argues that behind the facade of "democracy" and "elections" in Ethiopia lies a brutal regime that talks the democratic talk but is guilty of state terrorism and crimes against humanity.
The key to TTIP is the so-called Investor-State Dispute Settlement mechanism that essentially gives corporations free reign to sue governments using a "failure to implement" provision, if state policies or legislation interfere with profits. But is this all about trade?
There was a direct, crucial "secret" agenda linking the G7 meeting in Germany and the Bilderberg meeting in Austria last week; the advancement of the virtually secret negotiations towards the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), the massive free trade agreement between the US and the EU.
Even though the corporate powers behind TTIP are itching for a deal to be reached before the end of 2015, serious (negotiation) trouble remains.
This is not my endorsement of Trump for President. It is merely my speculations on how we might think of how large egos might be brought into our service.
Celente put it well. If you look at the sorry collection that aspires to be the CEO of what continues to be described as the "exceptional, indispensable, most important country with the largest economy and military, the world's only Superpower, the Uni-power," you see a collection of nobodies. America is like the last days of Rome when contenting factions fought to put their puppet on the throne.
In actual fact, Trump might be our best candidate to date. By all accounts, he is very rich. Thus, he doesn't need the office in order to become rich by selling out America to interest groups.
It is time to stop fighting among ourselves, for JVP and others to stop their witch hunts against deeply committed writers and activists, for JVP to stop its attempted censorship and domination of the Palestine movement, and for all of us to get on with our desperately important work.
With the publication of my book last year, "Against our Better Judgment: The hidden history of how the US was used to create Israel," the attacks seemed to escalate.
It appeared that some JVP leaders were attempting to thwart my talks and prevent people from learning the facts that my book and my talks contain.
The West is finished, its culture dead. What is left is unattractive, even horrifying. There is no heart, no compassion, and no creativity.
It was the first time in many years that I had missed my column, my essays, for several weeks.
I was shocked by the state in which I found the United States.
I couldn't breath. I lost the ability to write. I felt anger building inside me. The anger was suffocating, strangling me. It was unhealthy anger, mixed with frustration! It was not that sacred anger one feels when going to a battle against great evil. It was also somehow petty, indescribable, and pathetic. It was breaking me, humiliating me.
I hated the fights I had to fight here.
I tried to see the reality that was surrounding me with different eyes but wherever I looked I saw only a dysfunctional, sad, collapsing country and culture.
This visit broke me. It exhausted me. It thoroughly depressed me.
I hope JVP will desist from its attacks on those it dislikes, and will instead focus on the often excellent work it is doing and that its members want.
I feel strongly that we all contribute important things to the movement for justice and peace in Palestine.It is time to stop fighting among ourselves, for JVP and others to stop their witch hunts against deeply committed writers and activists, for JVP to stop its attempted censorship and domination of the Palestine movement, and for all of us to get on with our desperately important work.
That's what I intend to do.

Waking Times
Most people haven't heard of King Leopold II of Belgium.But you should have. When you see his face or hear his name you should get as sick in your stomach as when you read about Mussolini or Hitler or see one of their pictures. You see, he killed over 10 million people in the Congo.
Americans have to eventually share their preeminent position with China."
As intellectual acumen and cross-cultural expertise go, it would be hopeless to expect self-described "Don't Do Stupid Stuff" Obama administration foreign policy advisers — as well as Pentagon functionaries/hacks — to understand the complexities of China.
For instance, they would be incapable of evaluating all the myriad ramifications included in Professor Alfred McCoy's masterful deconstruction of US-China geopolitics.
"The US cannot stop China's rise. It just has to live with a bigger China, which will be completely novel for the US, as no country has ever been big enough to challenge its position. China will be able to do so in 20 to 30 years." (Lee said that at the Future China Global Forum in Singapore, in 2011. Under Xi, China is already challenging the U.S.'s position.)
How the 'Hard Left' embraces the policies of the Hard Right
Greece has been in the headlines of the world's financial press for the past five months, as a newly elected leftist party, 'Syriza', which ostensibly opposes so-called 'austerity measures', faces off against the "Troika" (International Monetary Fund, the European Commission and European Central Bank).
Early on, the Syriza leadership, headed by Alexis Tsipras, adopted several strategic positions with fatal consequences – in terms of implementing their electoral promises to raise living standards, end vassalage to the 'Troika' and pursue an independent foreign policy.
We will proceed by outlining the initial systemic failures of Syriza and the subsequent concessions further eroding Greek living standards and deepening Greece's role as an active collaborator of US and Israeli imperialism.
Winning Elections and Surrendering Power
Considerable attention has been devoted to the millions of dollars Bill and Hillary Clinton have received from wealthy individuals and corporations for their foundation and for themselves.
Hillary Clinton's greatest billionaire backer has been Haim Saban, a dual United States-Israel citizen and hardline supporter of Israel, who has openly commented, "I'm a one-issue guy, and my issue is Israel."
It would not be beyond the realm of possibility that those who handed over tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Clinton Foundation (some of which took place while Hillary was Secretary of State) or to the couple themselves for speaker fees expected favors in return.
Americans are already dispossessed of their livelihoods and careers and their pensions are next. Wherever we look, the fate of populations under Western influence are the same. The Ukrainians are exploited, the Greeks, the British, the Americans.
Apologists for exploitation claim that the rich are richer because they are smarter. But the stupidity of the rich is everywhere visible. The greedy fools have destroyed their domestic US market. Really, how stupid can you be? How do Americans buy when they are forced by offshoring out of well paid manufacturing and software engineering jobs into being waitresses, bartenders, retail clerks and part-time Walmart workers in order that corporate bottom lines improve? Who buys the stuff that sustains the profits? Not Americans who no longer have the incomes to do so.
The Ebola epidemic could flare up again in West Africa and health authorities are no better equipped to control it than they were a year ago, the head of medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres said on Saturday.
"The reality today is if Ebola were to hit on scale it did in August and September, we would hardly do much better than we did the last time around," Joanne Liu said on the sidelines of a meeting on Ebola in Dakar.
Most people are unaware of the Zionists who backed Mandela, or that Mandela was responsible for countless acts of terrorism. Stefan Molyneaux and others expose what the mainstream media and textbooks haven't told you.
Sierra Leone is introducing new curfews for two northern districts after a spike in new Ebola cases to the highest level in months, President Ernest Bai Koroma said on Friday.
The 18-month-long Ebola epidemic has killed more than 11,100 people in West Africa, although weekly numbers of new cases have fallen sharply from last year's peaks. One of the three worst-affected countries, Liberia, was declared Ebola-free in May.
Obama spouts stupid propaganda stuff that is ultimately damaging to the American Republic.
President Barack Obama must know better regarding the crisis in Ukraine, but he insists on reciting the propaganda lines drafted by his neoconservative and "liberal interventionist" advisers blaming everything on Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Watching his behavior in the White House over the past six-plus years, I've come to suspect that – if he had been a national politician amid the Iraq War fever – he would have gotten in line just like ambitious Sens. Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and Joe Biden did. Even as President, a position that gives him enormous power to push back against Official Washington's "group think," he won't.
The "secret" Vegas weekend focused on planning for, and funding, a campaign to kill BDS in its academic cradle.
With U.S. billionaires both funding and setting up its top down strategy with Israeli-inspired organizations on American campuses, Israel's successful invasion of U.S. institutions takes another major step toward "occupying" American institutions.
Four days after the Salon posting appeared, The New York Times buried two paragraphs about the Vegas event inside a longer story which featured the success Israel was enjoying in gaining anti-BDS support in state legislatures in South Carolina and Illinois.
This campaign against American supporters of Palestinian freedom, was prompted by the alarmed awareness among Israeli leaders, and their U.S. allies, that the BDS movement is rapidly gaining ground.
Iranian people have no problem with a rapprochement with the United States...…?Iran could prove to be a powerful strategic partner to the United States, as long as its independence and regional influence are not threatened.
While Mr. Obama had, realistically speaking, no better alternative in choosing the timing for his administration's foreign policy reorientation, a meaningful follow-through to implement his vision after his term in office expires would need a new Chief Executive with similar convictions; and, as things appear now, that prospect seems somewhat in doubt.
The current jockeying by potential candidates for the 2016 presidential elections is a perfect example of how true national interests are sacrificed for the sake of personal gains.
It's over! Starting June 15th and ending September 30th, the Zimbabwe Central bank will begin its process of "demonetization" of the old Zimbabwe Dollar. The Zimbabwe dollar will be removed as legal tender after the currency's use was abandoned in 2009 following a surge in inflation to 500 billion percent. For bank accounts containing up to 175 quadrillion Zimbabwe dollars they will be paid $5, the country's central bank said. The people remain angry slamming this as "abusing one's rights in the banking system," and claiming this is being done to enrich a chosen few.
The World Health Organization (WHO) said Wednesday Sierra Leone and Guinea saw an increase in the number of Ebola cases during the week ending June seventh.
The WHO said 16 new cases were found in Guinea, while 15 more were found in Sierra Leone.
Iran could prove to be a powerful strategic partner to the United States, as long as its independence and regional influence are not threatened.
Athens is mulling over the position of a member of the BRICS New Development Bank.
A new United Nations inquiry into sickening allegations of child sex abuse by French peacekeeping troops on a mission in Africa has been announced by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
Ban announced that the U.N. would set up an independent panel to investigate claims that soldiers exploited children they were supposed to protect - allegedly offering nine-year-olds food in exchange for oral sex.
Under the specious claim of delivering "aid to Africa," western governments are backing an initiative—described by some as another form of "colonialism"—that is effectively enabling the corporate takeover of African nations by some of the world's biggest food and agriculture companies.
The belated focus of American and British authorities on the alleged wrongdoings at FIFA can be readily seen as both ludicrous and laughable when we compare that with the absolute dearth of interest by these same authorities in applying law enforcement where it ought to be applied – on the Wall Street and City of London banksters.
Both the timing of the US-launched corruption probe – in the week of FIFA's annual conference and leadership election – plus the way that senior American and British officials, not to mention the publicity of Western news media, have weighed-in to rebuke FIFA suggests that it is all part of a coordinated political campaign authored at the highest level of government. That, in turn, suggests that there is an ulterior political agenda behind the supposed criminal crackdown on FIFA, and that the ulterior agenda is the Western objective to undermine Russia.
According to Bloomberg, six Nigerian central bankers were charged with fraud in an 8 billion naira ($40.2 million with an m, not a b, not a tr) currency "scam." No chat rooms here, just a plain old "mega scam involving the theft and recirculation of defaced and mutilated currencies," the Abuja-based Economic and Financial Crimes Commission said in a statement dated Sunday on its website. In addition to the central bankers, among those charged are also sixteen commercial bankers who conspired with Central Bank of Nigeria regional executives. The suspects will appear at the Federal High Court in the southwest city of Ibadan from Tuesday to June 4.
South Sudan has decided to expel the world body's top humanitarian official based in the conflict-torn nation, according to the UN, which called on the government to immediately reverse its decision.
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the move by the Juba government to expel the UK's Toby Lanzer, deputy head of the UN Mission in South Sudan as well as its humanitarian coordinator, the UN said in a statement.
"The secretary-general calls on the government of South Sudan to reverse its decision immediately," the statement said.
"He further urges the government to cooperate fully with all United Nations entities present in South Sudan."
• Could America end up like South Africa?
In the advent of Baltimore's April race riots, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People spokesman Shabaka Afrika urged blacks to take up arms. Malik Zulu Shabazz, another black activist and former head of the New Black Panther Party, advocated the building of a black army that would target and kill police officers.
Considering the racial strife that has grown over the past six years of Barack Hussein Obama's presidency, on May 12 AMERICA FREE PRESS interviewed James Kelso, director and membership coordinator of the American Freedom Party. He also hosts a radio talk show on Republic Broadcasting Network and the Liberty News Network.
Propaganda shapes the flow of information in many different ways, including, obviously, the choice of the news fit to print, its placement, and the selection of authorities to make those facts credible. But equally important, and implicit in news choices, especially where there are political interests at stake and possible varying interpretations of the news, is omitting facts and ignoring sources that call the chosen (often official) perspective into question. Such Golden Silences and bypassing of inconvenient sources is incompatible with honest journalism but is standard operating procedure in mainstream journalism, with variations mainly in severity and depth of burial of the awkward facts. These latter are often not completely hidden but put so deep in an article and in such cautious or qualifying language as to be effectively buried or suppressed.
Jeffrey St. Clair, one of the few remaining Western journalists with a moral conscience, describes the latest Israeli horror to which we are all accomplices.
The Israel Lobby tries to prevent reports and criticism of Israel's crimes against the Palestinians by branding every critic of every policy of the extreme right-wing Israeli government an "anti-semite." In other words, if you object to Israeli armed forces shooting down Palestinian children in the streets and then bombing the funerals of the kids the Israelis have already murdered, you hate Jews and are an anti-Semite.
The success that the Israel Lobby has enjoyed in imposing this twisted logic on Congress, the White House, the media, the universities and the insouciant American public is astonishing. As a consequence, Americans are no longer answerable to Christian morality but to the evil that the Israel Lobby represents.
Divide et impera? It's not working. And it's bound to fail miserably.
As it stands, what we do know is that 2015 will be a hair-raising year in myriad aspects... we all still remain under the sign of a fearful, dangerous, rampantly irrational Empire of Chaos.
Russia could outmaneuver Western financial markets by cutting them off from its wealth of oil and natural gas. The markets would inevitably collapse – uncontrolled chaos for the Empire of Chaos (or "controlled chaos", in Putin's own words).
In a different vein of the "soft beds of the East" seducing Marcus Aurelius, the silky splendors of chic Beijing offer a glimpse of an extremely self-assured emerging power. After all, Europe is nothing but a catalogue of multiple sclerosis and Japan is under its sixth recession in 20 years.
"There's a general recognition growing that the driving force for this war is the utter collapse of the entire Western banking system," Billington said.
"And the view from London and Washington and New York is we have to go to war, we cannot allow this BRICS alliance between Russia, China, India, South Africa and most of Latin America creating new financial institutions to take away our ability to loot the resources in the developing sector," Billington noted.
The increasing deployment of American navy, warplanes and missile systems – under the guise of «protecting its partners» – is fuelling militarization of the territorial disputes.
US deteriorating relations with China are the latest manifestation of America's self-declared «manifest destiny» to behave like a global hegemon.
China, for its part, says that its own military presence in the region is to protect its voluminous trade routes. Beijing has pointedly refused to cease its maritime development projects, mainly land reclamation in shoals and reefs that it says are strictly within its territorial limits.
The gatekeepers have, I believe, crucified American poetry upon a cross erected by "language poets," "identity poets," "politically correct poets," "apolitical poets" and general nincompoops -- Gary Corseri
The Arts have fallen into an era of petite academicism, crass commercialism and manipulated populism. So, our challenges are many; they are harsh; let us hope they will be invigorating!
Poets who do not see, who do not confront what is out there and around them-- are cowards! Which needn't mean that that is ALL we must do! But… we must see and confront what surrounds us at some point! Not always…, but when it's right to do so. To advocate that we always do it is asking us to be propagandists.José M. Tirado
Presidential hopeful Rand Paul has done it once again, never ceasing to amaze those who supported his father Ron. In his latest book 'Taking A Stand,' Rand Paul has praised Bill Gates vaccine campaign, and also said there's a chance that the Federal Reserve only has our best interests at heart.

H-E-B is Retailer of the Year
Trade Publication Progressive Grocer said H-E-B earned the honor for its competitive edge and corporate culture.
H-E-B on Wednesday was named 2010 national Retailer of the Year by Progressive Grocer, a trade magazine.
In a ceremony at the company's San Antonio headquarters at 646 S. Main Ave., Progressive Grocer editor-in-chief Meg Major said H-E-B is a clear standout among the nation's supermarket retailers for its ability to be a fiercely tough competitor because its values and sense of purpose are made clear throughout the company, and because of its "remarkable corporate culture" that puts a high value on its employees at all levels of the organization.
Major and Steve Lichtenstein, vice president and group publisher, presented the award to H-E-B executives in the presence of Mayor Julián Castro and hundreds of the grocer's employees.
"We are extremely proud to receive this industry honor," H-E-B President Craig Boyan said. "It's an external validation of what we do."
Boyan termed it a milestone in the company's 105-year history and paid tribute to the company's 76,000 partners - the employees - "who strive each day to provide our customers with a superior shopping experience."
Major said Progressive Grocer has been observing H-E-B for some time and has watched it gain market share in some key markets in Texas. "And we've continued to marvel about that in a state where Wal-Mart has a dedicated division."
H-E-B is the subject of the cover story in Progressive Grocer's October issue. The story quotes industry expert Burt Flickinger III as saying H-E-B is "among Wal-Mart's worst nightmares" for its ability to boost market share even as Wal-Mart has saturated Texas with about 400 stores in the past 20 years.
H-E-B is expected to reach sales of more than $16 billion this fiscal year. It operates 329 stores in Texas and Mexico.
In honor of the company, Progressive Grocer gave $5,000 to the Boys and Girls Club of San Antonio, while H-E-B donated $15,000.

If you have a website, you probably use a link shortener or have considered getting one before. In case anyone isn't familiar, basically it allows you to easily redirect short URLs to longer "complete" URLs on your site. There are many reasons to do this, like visitor traffic analytics, marketing, user experience or the constraints of social media. Thankfully, YOURLS makes creating your own custom URL shortener quick and painless! Nonetheless, registering a custom domain just for occasional link shortening can feel a bit wasteful. That's why I created the 'Fallback Domain Redirect with UTM' Plugin for YOURLS, to give the domain a second purpose! Both are free and easy to use, so if you own a hosting plan, consider giving it a shot!

Fourth day we were lucky to get a ride to the service area in short time, which was just 3 kilometers away from highway entrance. Today's mission was to hitch a ride to the west and it turned out to be an endless waiting 第四天很幸運的我們很快就到了上高速三公里後的服務區,任務是找到一輛往西的車,換來的是場漫長的等待⋯
Hitchhiking 4700km in 8 days 中國|八天四千七百公里路part1
"Where are you going?" we asked "Urumqi." he answered. "Oh my, could you please take us with you? Please!" I was so excited. Probably we don't need to hitchhike anymore. Just get to Xin Jiang with one car.「我要去烏魯木齊。」他回說,「什麼!天啊,拜託可以帶我們走嗎?」難道我們這麼好運,可以一車一路到新疆?
One night on the Great Wall中國|北京的一夜長城
long structure zigzaging through the green mountain landscapes, changcheng, "long town", thousands and thousands kilometres of ancient defense. For me the view of it was stunning. 躺在綠山上的鋸齒長條物,長城,長長的城,這個千年萬里的防護線,這景象讓我看得目瞪口呆
Camping wonder through Thailand 泰國|奇妙的露營之旅
Apart from the nonsense imagination, everything was wonderful that all the worries in the world are fake, desires are superfluous...除了亂入的恐懼,一切美好的像是世界上任何煩惱都是假的,欲望是多餘的。走個十來分鐘到一個空地使用wifi,是網路世界把我拉回現實中
