Venezuelans travel to border in caravan to pick up aid
Thursday, February 21
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — A caravan of opposition leaders is heading toward Venezuela's border with Colombia ahead of a Saturday showdown over humanitarian aid.
Lawmakers departed in three white buses from Caracas early Thursday. They were supposed to be led by National Assembly President Juan Guaido.
But the man recognized by dozens of countries as Venezuela's rightful leader was nowhere to be seen. That's led to speculation he was using the press attention as a decoy so he could travel undetected by security forces, who are expected to block the caravan's advance.
The opposition is vowing on Saturday to deliver large amounts of U.S.-supplied aid warehoused in the Colombian border city of Cucuta. President Nicolas Maduro has ordered his armed forces to disrupt their plans, considering them a ploy aimed at forcing him from power.
Should the U.S. Government Abide by the International Law It Has Created and Claims to Uphold?
By Lawrence Wittner
The Trump administration's campaign to topple the government of Venezuela raises the issue of whether the U.S. government is willing to adhere to the same rules of behavior it expects other nations to follow.
During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, U.S. foreign policy was characterized by repeated acts of U.S. military intervention in Latin American nations. But it began to shift in the late 1920s, as what became known as the Good Neighbor Policy was formulated. Starting in 1933, the U.S. government, responding to Latin American nations' complaints about U.S. meddling in their internal affairs, used the occasion of Pan-American conferences to proclaim a nonintervention policy. This policy was reiterated by the Organization of American States (OAS), founded in 1948 and headquartered in Washington, DC.
Article 19 of the OAS Charter states clearly: "No State or group of States has the right to intervene, directly or indirectly, for any reason whatever, in the internal or external affairs of any other State." To be sure, the Charter, in Article 2(b), declares that one of the essential purposes of the OAS is "to promote and consolidate representative democracy." But this section continues, in the same sentence, to note that such activity should be conducted "with due respect for the principle of nonintervention." The U.S. government, of course, is an active member of the OAS and voted to approve the Charter. It is also legally bound by the Charter, which is part of international law.
The United Nations Charter, also formulated by the U.S. government and part of international law, includes its own nonintervention obligation. Attempting to outlaw international aggression, the UN Charter declares, in Article 2(4), that "all Members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations." Although this wording is vaguer than the OAS Charter's condemnation of all kinds of intervention, in 1965 the UN General Assembly adopted an official resolution that tightened things up by proclaiming: "No State has the right to intervene, directly or indirectly for any reason whatever, in the internal or external affairs of any other State."
Unfortunately, the U.S. government has violated these principles of international law many times in the past―toppling or attempting to topple numerous governments. And the results often have failed to live up to grandiose promises and expectations. Just look at the outcome of U.S. regime change operations during recent decades in Iran, Guatemala, Cuba, Chile, Cambodia, Haiti, Panama, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and numerous other nations.
Of course, there are things worth criticizing in Venezuela, as there are in many other countries―including the United States. Consequently, a substantial majority of OAS nations voted in January 2019 for a resolution that rejected the legitimacy of Nicolas Maduro's new term as president, claiming that the May 2018 electoral process lacked "the participation of all Venezuelan political actors," failed "to comply with international standards," and lacked "the necessary guarantees for a free, fair, transparent, and democratic process."
Nonetheless, the January 2019 OAS resolution did not call for outside intervention but, rather, for "a national dialogue with the participation of all Venezuelan political actors and stakeholders" to secure "national reconciliation," "a new electoral process," and a peaceful resolution to "the current crisis in that country." In addition, nonintervention and a process of reconciliation between Venezuela's sharply polarized political factions have been called for by the government of Mexico and by the Pope.
This policy of reconciliation is far from the one promoted by the U.S. government. In a speech to a frenzied crowd in Miami on February 18, Donald Trump once again demanded the resignation of Maduro and the installation as Venezuelan president of Juan Guiado, the unelected but self-proclaimed president Trump favors. "We seek a peaceful transition to power," Trump said. "But all options are on the table."
Such intervention in Venezuela's internal affairs, including the implicit threat of U.S. military invasion, seems likely to lead to massive bloodshed in that country, the destabilization of Latin America, and―at the least―the further erosion of the international law the U.S. government claims to uphold.

US sanctions on Venezuelan oil could cut the output of refineries at home
February 20, 2019
Author: Eric Smith, Director of the Energy Institute and Professor of Practice, Tulane University

U.S. sanctions against Venezuela's state-owned oil and gas company, along with some government officials and executives, are intended to put pressure on the government headed by Nicolás Maduro.
As the interim director of the Tulane Energy Institute, which tracks energy markets and provides forecasts, and someone with 35 years of oil industry experience, I'm certain that they will also reverberate in this country too – especially in Louisiana, where the oil and gas industry is among the state's biggest employers.
Economic dysfunction
Despite having the world's biggest petroleum reserves, Venezuela is now functionally bankrupt and wracked by hyperinflation. Even before the sanctions against Petróleos de Venezuela, the state-owned company known as PDVSA, its crude production was rapidly declining.
Since the late president Hugo Chávez's election in 1998, followed by Maduro's rise to power in 2013, the Venezuelan government has effectively destroyed the country's political institutions, as well as its petroleum-based economy. Oil production has declined by two-thirds, dropping from about 3 million barrels per day in 2000 to around 1.2 million barrels per day in January 2019.
During this long decline, Venezuela collected payments in advance from some of its biggest customers, and therefore cannot collect the revenue now that it would otherwise be obtaining from oil production. Thanks to this practice, it actually doesn't earn any hard currency from much of the crude that it does export.
Instead, these export earnings actually pay off cash advances from China, Russia and Repsol, the Spanish energy company.
Refineries located along the U.S. Gulf Coast in Louisiana and Texas were just about Venezuela's last source of hard currency. That came to a halt when the Trump administration slapped sanctions on PDVSA in late January 2019.
Crude quality
You might think that Venezuela could just find new markets for its oil, but that is harder than it may sound.
Venezuelan crude is heavy and sour, meaning it is extremely dense and contains a high percentage of sulfur. Globally, most refineries process light sweet crude into gasoline, jet fuel, diesel and other fuels and products. Only specialized "complex" refineries can handle the dense petroleum produced in Venezuela and remove its unwanted sulfur.
More than half of U.S. refinery capacity is 'complex,' meaning it requires at least some heavy crude oil to operate properly. Nearly all Gulf Coast refineries are complex. U.S. Energy Information Administration
The U.S. refineries that can do this are mainly located along the Gulf Coast, in the Midwest and in California. Most of the rest are located in China and India.
Complex refineries cost about 50 percent more to build. They are also more expensive to operate. They can compete, however, because they use crude from sources like Venezuela that costs less than most crude oil.
Complex refineries
Although U.S. oil production is rising, the domestic industry still needs to import heavy crude to keep the complex refineries operating efficiently. As of early 2019, 90 percent of U.S. imports were heavy crude. Countries that export this heavy petroleum include Mexico, Canada, Colombia, Ecuador, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Iran.
Based on their proximity, Canada and Mexico should be good sources for U.S. refiners. However, due to delays in the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline and other pipelines that may eventually run from the northern border to the Gulf Coast, there's no easy way to replace the blocked shipments from Venezuela.
While Canada is shipping more heavy crude by rail, this approach is much more expensive. It costs about $20 per barrel to ship heavy crude from Canada by rail, versus an estimated $12.50 per barrel via pipelines.
Mexico's challenge is different. Its heavy crude production has been declining for years. Mexico now imports light crude, as well as gasoline and other refined products from the U.S..
Russia and Saudi Arabia
Another factor is that Saudi Arabia and Russia are cutting their oil production, especially heavy sour crude, as part of an effort to shore up crude prices. Canada is curtailing heavy oil production as well.
It may sound reasonable for the U.S. to simply substitute its own light sweet crude for imported heavy sour crude. But the crude distillation units at complex refineries like those in Louisiana were not designed to use ever higher percentages of light sweet crude.
These refineries require approximately 30 percent heavy crude to operate optimally. At a minimum, the Gulf Coast region needs something like 3.1 million barrels of heavy sour crude per day.
The 563,000 of barrels per day the U.S. was buying from Venezuela in November 2018 only represented 2.8 percent of the roughly 20 million barrels of crude it consumed. But those imports represented a bigger share of the heavy oil the U.S. used: 17 percent, according to my calculations.
Without that supply, Gulf Coast refineries can only reduce throughput and shut down much of their idle sulfur removal capacity.
High stakes for some states
Shutting off heavy crude from Venezuela to Gulf Coast refineries would reduce the production of heavier distillates, such as heating oil, marine fuel oil and diesel.
Heavier crude must be distilled at higher temperatures, which yields diesel, fuel oil and other products. U.S. Energy Information Administration
Jet fuel and gasoline won't be as affected because these products can be produced from any refinery capable of processing abundant domestic light sweet crude.
I would expect U.S. exports of diesel and heavier distillates to decline as a result, particularly shipments to Latin America and to Europe. After that, domestic supplies to the states supplied by Gulf Coast refineries could be hit as well.
Prices for diesel and fuel oil are likely to rise once supplies are constrained, which could occur quickly because U.S. refineries have little capacity to spare.
Even if U.S. refineries do eventually replace Venezuelan oil, the odds are that crude will come from farther away and cost more. That would, in turn, make diesel cost more, increasing the cost to consumers for everything from food to furniture and flat-screen TVs.
This would happen not just in Louisiana, but in communities far away, as long as the delivery trucks, rail cars and vessels involved have diesel engines. The disruption would illustrate the way that U.S. sanctions intended to apply pressure on other countries can also take a toll on Americans.
Tommy Timmy, logged in via Google: "the Venezuelan government has effectively destroyed the country's political institutions"
This is pure disinformation. Linking to another Conversation article as proof of the claim made is like linking to an article denying the link between tobacco and lung cancer from the tobacco lobby.
Spreading the above disinformation about Venezuela's government is actually illegal as articulated in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights Article 20, which reads…
Any propaganda for war shall be prohibited by law.
Any advocacy of national, racial or religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or violence shall be prohibited by law.
Of course, if one is lying in the interests of the 0.001% of humanity who rule the planet then there are no repercussions. The good professor knows which side of his toast is buttered.
Eric Smith, Director of the Energy Institute and Professor of Practice, Tulane University, In reply to Tommy Timmy: We have a quaint notion in this country, enshrined in our constitution. We call it "freedom of speech". Despite over 200 years of sporadic attacks, it still survives. We basically allow anyone to say anything. In this case, I suspect your particular opinion about the efficacy of Venezuela's current regime will not hold up either within or outside of Venezuela. However, thanks to your critique, I did recall my grandmother's best mixed metaphor. "You buttered your bread, now lie in it!". I think it applies here.
Pence to deliver speech on Venezuela in Colombia on Monday
WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Mike Pence is traveling to Colombia next week to demonstrate continued U.S. support for the opposition to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
Pence's office says he'll deliver a speech Monday in Bogota on the humanitarian and security crisis in neighboring Venezuela, and U.S. efforts to help get aid to the country. Pence will meet with Colombian President Ivan Duque as well as Venezuelan families who have sought refuge outside the country.
President Donald Trump and Duque discussed the situation in Venezuela during a White House meeting last week.
The United States and dozens of other countries recognize opposition leader Juan Guaido (gwy-DOH') as Venezuela's interim president. Maduro told the AP in an interview last week that he will not give up power as a way to defuse the standoff.

Oscars 2019: Beyond the stats, why diversity matters

With the Academy Awards approaching, the Annenberg Inclusion Initiative released its most recent report on diversity in Hollywood.
It documented an upward trend toward equality: The number of women and people of color in the role of lead or co-lead has risen over the last two years. Still, the film industry has yet to achieve parity, especially for people of color, whose representation is 11 percent lower than their share of the general population.
Statistics provide an indispensable metric to understand the big picture, what I call "creative labor" of who's hired for particular jobs. But numbers alone can't account for the types of characters being played – if they're stereotypical roles or groundbreaking portrayals. Nor do numbers tell us why representations in popular culture can have such profound impact on people's lives.
In my book "Worldmaking: Race, Performance and the Work of Creativity," I approach the issue of diversity as a cultural anthropologist, playwright and performance studies scholar. In it, I argue that cultural representation is about something deeper than parity for the sake of parity – that everyone needs to be mirrored in the public sphere in order to exist and to count as a fully dimensional human being.
Visions of possibility
Classic psychoanalytic theorist Jacques Lacan proposed the concept of the mirror stage of development, which he argued was necessary for the formation of an identity.
He used the metaphor of infants recognizing themselves in a mirror as the first step towards seeing themselves as integrated, whole beings. While Lacan thought it was impossible to achieve "wholeness" – no one can be completely whole and integrated – he argued that identities are imagined and reinforced through this mirroring.
For this reason, it's critical that people see themselves mirrored in popular culture. Identities can be formed by watching film, television, theater or sports. They're shaped by playing video games, dancing and listening to music. The characters who appear and the roles they assume indicate whose lives matter in the public sphere, and who is erased.
Mexican actress Yalitza Aparicio was nominated for best actress for her role in 'Roma.' Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP
The arts and popular culture stage what I call "visions of possibility" for what viewers and readers can become. For generations, members of the dominant culture were primarily able to see themselves on screen as leaders – the heroes of stories that are publicly recognized and celebrated. Marginalized people were relegated to more limited possibilities, and these limitations can carry over into diminished dreams and life choices.
That's starting to change. A black child can now see Chadwick Boseman star as the hero of "Black Panther," and Storm Reid play 13-year-old protagonist Meg Murry in "A Wrinkle in Time." An Asian-American child can see Constance Wu command the screen in "Crazy Rich Asians," while an indigenous person can see Yalitza Aparicio appear as the lead in "Roma."
Culture can combat the 'slow death' of inequality
The ability of viewers to see themselves mirrored becomes especially crucial when we rethink how inequality operates. Racism, for example, is not simply a matter of spectacular violence or membership in the Ku Klux Klan. Nor is racism simply a matter of attitude or prejudice.
Critical geographer and social justice activist Ruth Wilson Gilmore calls racism "group differentiated vulnerability to premature death."
In other words, some groups are more likely to experience lower life expectancies, whether it's from violence, imprisonment, exposure to environmental toxins or even the greater amount of energy it takes to get through a day. Inequalities of race, class and gender can gradually erode psychological and physical health, in what English professor Lauren Berlant calls "slow death."
To counter the slow death of inequality, I argue that the sort of mirroring in popular culture that affirms viewers from marginalized groups is life-giving.
This requires attention to creative vision. It's not simply a matter of numbers; it's a matter of whose stories are being told, and who is controlling the narrative. The growing number of women and people of color on screen may not signal a new, exciting creative vision if they're cast in the conventional roles of damsel in distress, "the black best friend," the increasingly popular gay, "fabulous" black best friend or "the Asian nerd."
New voices, new stories, new understanding
That's why it's important to shine a spotlight on all kinds of new stories, whether it's making a superhero a star or simply highlighting everyday lives of people of different cultures, classes, races or sexualities.
Tales of dysfunctional white families and the mid-life crises of straight white men remain too numerous to count.
What can be gained by subjects and premises that are so repetitive? What about the invisible everyday lives and experiences of indigenous or Middle Eastern women? What could be learned from an Asian-American female protagonist's midlife crisis? Or would "midlife crisis" even be an apt term for her unique experiences? Would there be a new way to imagine her story?
How many other stories go unseen and untold?
Postcolonial scholar Gayatri Spivak wrote that racism and colonialism aren't simply a matter of overt, conscious domination. Instead, they involve what she calls "zones of sanctioned ignorance." In other words, what do people not know about the lives of those who are different from themselves?
Lack of diversity creates zones of sanctioned ignorance. Denying playwrights, screenwriters and directors from marginalized communities a platform for their work deprives everyone the opportunity to engage with the world in new ways.
What intriguing tales might await when richly specific, expansive creative visions from previously overlooked writers and directors are given the space to blossom? What fresh, fascinating stories will emerge?
Without a continued push for diversity, audiences will never know.

All Guilds Meeting - November 2015
As things get closer to 2016, another All Guilds Meeting has come and gone. Nev'yn was the guest host for the day, filling in for Doobes. As always, the raw and (very) cleansed chatlogs await those who may have missed the meeting.
Here's a recap of the festivities:
KathAveara was first in line to update the crowd on GoLing business. The website has received a revamp and refresh, and while not completely finished, it will be soon. Those with forum accounts have had them ported over to the new forums.
There are also plans to restart the Rekorokh Deseekaytee, or the Book of Puzzles. Each week or month (depending on interest), there would be a new word or logic puzzle relating to the Myst/D'ni universe. Joining the Guild forums will allow members to post and suggest their own puzzle for inclusion.
Next up was Zeke, who thanked those involved in organizing the very successful CAVCON Awareness Party. He talked a bit about the newly-created Developers' Hood, a place for experts to gather and explain to those interested just what goes into making and programming content for URU. Membership in the hood is open to anyone interested. Read more
All Guilds Meeting - October 2015
It was a rather rousing All Guilds Meeting today in Kirel. Plenty of entertainment brought to you by your fellow explorers and lots of good causes to consider. As always, here are your raw and cleansed chatlogs for your reading enjoyment.
Here's what happened:
Cavern Tours
Zeke365 was first to talk about the return of the Cavern Tours, events that take you through the various Ages of URU while learning the history associated with each (no puzzle spoilers though). They are due to start November 3rd.
Later in the meeting, he mentioned a special Cavern Tour that will take place during the CAVCON party proceedings (see below).
Final details will be presented at the next All Guilds Meeting. Keep checking the MOUL Events forum for more information as well!

RAWA v2.0 - Show Your Support
Richard Watson, better known as "RAWA" at Cyan to the Myst community, shared some recent personal news. He has candidly explained his absence to fans.
I was diagnosed with a walnut-sized brain tumor at the end of August. I had brain surgery on Sept. 15th, and now have a very cool-looking "centipede" scar and a new nickname: "TC" (for "Titanium Cranium"). Welcome to RAWA v2.0 - a kinder, gentler, more heavily-medicated, slightly more extroverted RAWA.
To help his recovery, RAWA has made a request:
Do me a favor, please. During the Kickstarter campaign for Obduction, many of you told your stories of how the Myst series affected you. Those stories meant the world to my mom, who spent twenty years knowing I made "games", but not knowing how much these "games" meant to so many people of all ages from all around the world. Y'all made her cry with joy many times.
Now, more than ever, those stories will help my mom, my wife, my kids, and even me. Sign that guestbook on the Caring Bridge site. Tell your stories. My family will see your stories, and all your stories really will help us all through this difficult time. Thank you, more than I can say!
Cyan...and Richard in particular...have given the Myst/URU community so much over the years (including a soon-to-be-released new game!), so we at the Guild encourage everyone who can to stop by his Caring Bridge page and leave your stories and thoughts for RAWA!

D'ni Holiday: The Great Crash
On September 18th, 2014 the primary matrix of the KI-device, known as "the Lattice", suffered a major cascade failure, leading to a subsequent event known as the "Great Crash" of its virtual processing nodes. Unable to utilize the Nexus or rely upon the KI-coordinate system from the Great Zero, travel to and from the cavern became hazardous at best. Thankfully, through dedicated efforts of several Restoration Engineers, the Lattice was restored to functionality after weeks of dedicated work. There were severe data corruption issues, however.
Both the KI-devices and Lattice were able to be restarted only at their "baseline" state, very similar to that which the DRC encountered when investigating the cavern during the first Restoration. It is unknown at this time if Victor Laxman was consulted during these repairs.
Access to Nexus and various cavern locations may now be visited with relative safety, assuming normal precautions are taken during such explorations.

Car Dealers To Meet Your Particular Vehicle Requirements
The thing you want to be sure that one of the car dealers that you see, is that they have to give you various vehicles that are worth choosing. You might have a particular vehicle in mind or you might work according to your budget.
They should be able to give you several choices for you to see and test the drive, help you identify the vehicle that you feel is right for you and your family now and in the future. You can get the best communication solution for auto dealerships at mykaarma.
Make sure that every car dealer you consider has a skilfully designed website that you can look through. They must deliver valuable information about themselves and the vehicles they have. Each vehicle must be accompanied by detailed descriptions, information about service history, prices, and choice of photos.
This can help you identify the people you feel meet your needs before making arrangements to be seen and driven. The next step is to identify car dealers who strive for their clients who offer a choice of credit packages that suit your needs.
This will allow you to trade in your current vehicle. The amount offered for the current vehicle is deducted from the asking price of a quality used vehicle, which can reduce the amount you need to borrow. Financing a used car can be useful, allowing you to buy a younger model, a vehicle that can last for years to come.

How to Gain Weight When Dealing with Hyperthyroidism
Losing weight can be really difficult for some people but not for those suffering from hyperthyroidism and Graves' Disease. The hyperthyroid condition causes loss of weight and people find it hard to stop it.
Many people who deal with this disease have the weight loss problem. The main aim of this article is to discuss what people who suffer from hyperthyroidism and Graves' Disease can do to gain some weight.
If You Suffer from Hyperthyroid Issues Do These Things to Gain Some Weight:
1. Normalize The Levels of Thyroid Hormone
The thyroid hormones are responsible for the weight loss in these conditions. So, it is of crucial importance to normalize their levels. Most of the people who suffer from hyperthyroidism also have Graves' Disease, another autoimmune thyroid condition where the TSH receptors stimulate the TSH receptors which further cause the thyroid gland to secrete an excessive amount of thyroid hormone. Until you suppress the autoimmune component you should manage the hyperthyroid symptoms.
People usually take the antithyroid medication Methimazole. This medicine normalizes the levels of thyroid hormone and prevents weight loss. Other natural options are L-carnitine and Bugleweed which inhibit the production of thyroid hormone and stop the loss of weight.
2. Consume Nutrient Dense Food
Many people who experience hyperthyroid conditions oppose their weight loss by eating as many calories as they can. Unfortunately, they usually just load up carbohydrates rather than nutrient dense food.
Organ meat is the food with the highest nutritive-density. Other meats are also nutrient-dense but not in the same way as the organ meats. If you are a vegetarian, seeds and nuts will be on the highest place on your list. Other nutrient-dense foods are: collard greens, avocados, spinach, kale, radishes, arugula and carrots.
Eggs are also an important type of food. If you have gut problems, you should avoid eating seeds, nuts, legumes and beans. This is due to the phytic and lectins acid in these foods that make them difficult to digest.
3. Consume Smoothies with Added Protein Every Day
Along the nutrient dense food, you can drink one or two smoothies every day. Add some avocado, kale or coconut oil in the smoothie in order to enrich its content. What is more, you can also use some extra protein in the form of whey protein, a great source of glutathione. If you try to avoid dairy, use some pea or rice based protein powder.
4. Correct Any Malabsorption Problems
Malabsorption often comes with hyperthyroidism. This is an affected absorption of nutrients. There can also be other factors that affect these problems with absorption. People with Graves' Disease have increased intestinal permeability which causes problems with the absorption of nutrients. Furthermore, certain pathogens can also cause problems with absorption of nutrients.
Other factors are: problems with the gallbladder, taking medications with beta blockers and antithyroid drugs which affect the nutrient absorption, oral contraceptives etc.
5. Do Some LIGHT Weightlifting at Least 3 Times a Week
Hyperthyroidism reduces the muscle mass and affects the bone density, so you should do some weightlifting at least 3 days a week. Instead of losing weight and eating more calories, try doing some light weightlifting, as this will help you to gain some weight.
A study conducted on 16 patients with hyperthyroidism showed that resistance training increases the recovery of skeletal muscle function and promotes weight gain.
In conclusion, when you experience hyperthyroidism it might be challenging to gain weight. In this case, the key point is to normalize the thyroid hormone for weight loss. What is more, nutrient dense foods and light weightlifting can help you gain weight.

Marley Coffee, the Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee roastery led by Bob Marley's son Rohan Marley, has announced it is moving its headquarters from Beverly Hills to Denver, and hiring.
The company is moving into the historic Lindstrom building in Downtown Denver's Highlands District. Rohan Marley says the company plans to add as many as 12 employees in the departments of sales, marketing, design, business development and HR.
"Denver has the pulse on the organic movement," Marley said in a company announcement. "It's always been my vision to bring all of our people together and Denver was on the top of our list. It's centrally located and the sustainable vibe of the city resonates with what we're trying to achieve."
The company, which operates the Jammin' Java brand, has been growing exponentially over the past two years, with aggressive expansion in the grocery and coffee service segments. The Denver Post broke the news that Marley has just acquired Black Rock Beverage Services, a Denver-based office coffee service provider.
"On top of creating our corporate headquarters we are aggressively hiring to help feed our sales and innovation pipeline," says Brent Toevs, Marley's CEO. "We have seen so much growth in the last 6 months and we expect that growth to accelerate. We're looking for good people in all areas to help support our sales both domestic and international, assist with marketing and extend our product lines."

I'm glad I did the run. Mostly. Meaning I mostly did the run. Not I'm mostly glad. I ran 12.5 out of 13. Whatever. I'm rounding up to "13 ish." It was brutal.
I went to bed at 1230am and was up at 350am due to my internal alarm clock. Doesn't matter. Alarm was set for 415am anyway. Out of town visitors + busy weekend led to kids getting sick, which led to ME getting sick. I missed all my mid week runs because I was so sick. I didn't figure I'd get the weekend run in either. But at the last minute I decided to try for it. That had a lot to do with a Saturday night text from run team members making sure I'd be there at 5am (across town). *sigh* "Yesssss… I'll be there." But since I was sick, I couldn't sleep.
Turns out the biggest success I had today was just showing up at 5. It went downhill from there.
Shoes sucked. More on that later. My form was sloppy. I kept knocking my ankles with my own feet. They're pretty sore even now. Then, 5 miles in, I flailed my arm to get a cobweb off and it triggered a back muscle spasm. This did not go away for another 5 miles. I didn't stop running though. Because it's not like you have a car that comes swooping in to pick you up and take you back. We were already 5-6 miles away from our cars. The only way back is to run back.
Ok maybe it wasn't my biggest disaster run. It just sucked a lot compared to the last few runs. I was tired. I was sick. I stopped at 12.5. I just didn't care. The way I saw it (and still see it), I did 12.5 more miles than I thought I would today.
Later went out to try on new run shoes but my whole body was rejecting the process. Kept cramping in every muscle all over, from my feet to my neck. See? Even recovery sucked. I really did think I had a lot of water and electrolytes. I guess I am also failing at Sunday Long Run nutrition too. I can never figure out if I eat too much or too little. Drink too much water or too little? Eat too much protein or too little? I give up (…until next Sunday).
Does everyone have a crappy run like this every few runs? I hope I'm not the only one looking at a 60-75% success rate on marathon training runs. It seems like all I read is about how everyone else is killin in on their runs.

About the Event
Should old acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind?
2nd January, 2018: One of the guests staying at the Loch Corrin Estate has been missing since New Year's Eve. Heather, the office manager, and Doug, the groundsman, have conducted as extensive a search as possible in the terrible conditions. The western Highlands are experiencing the heaviest snowfall for decades, which has left the remote estate sealed off from the world: no-one can get out, and the rescue services cannot get in. Now, Doug comes to tell Heather that he has found the missing guest: dead, the body lying broken at the bottom of the frozen waterfall. It doesn't look like an accident.
Four days earlier: Nine friends, friends since their time at Oxford a decade ago, have travelled up from London to spend New Year's Eve in the stunning wilderness of the Loch Corrin Estate. The next few days see them catching up, taking drugs, going deer stalking in the starkly beautiful surroundings, reminiscing over times past … and keeping huge, friendship-destroying secrets from each other. Everything comes to a crisis on New Year's Eve when the biggest secret of all is revealed. One of the guests, distraught, stumbles drunkenly away from the warmth and safety of the Lodge.
The unforgiving wilderness contains many potential dangers: a notorious serial killer has murdered several victims nearby; the weather is turning from bad to worse and the estate itself conceals a dark secret unbeknownst even to Heather, the manager. Or might the threat be even closer to home?
Tickets include a glass of wine and a cheese plate.

The simplest definition of coaching
My typical client is a human with a goal. Where does the goal rest? It rests in the human's mind. Not at the office, not in the boardroom, not in his smartphone, not in his colleagues' voices. A goal does not exist until it occupies a human's mind. And then, problems begin. This is the simplest definition of coaching.
Why does this situation need coaching?
Because of one of the following possibilities:
- MISUSE OF OWN MIND: the human might consider his a goal of other(s);
- COMPASS: the human is unclear about the essence of the goal: is it a new way of being? a new way of doing? something to have? something relational? a combination of all these?
- SYSTEMIC VIEW: human's goal might be linked to his other goals or other humans' goals;
- SUBJECT-OBJECT: the human is subject of the goal instead of objectifying it; being subject gives him drive and passion, objectifying it gives the human clarity.
- LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING: the human is too small for the goal; his consciousness needs to "grow up";
- VALUES: the human doesn't know himself enough;
- LACK OF CLARITY: the human didn't define the goal very well;
- CREATIVITY: the human has limited/ bad or no solutions to attain the goal.
My coaching ways
So, sometimes I have to coach the human, sometimes the goal and sometimes both.
Sometimes I have to use:
A. a transpersonal approach (co-discovering/ co-uncovering human's values and beliefs and his life's underlying purpose) – #5, #6
B. a systemic approach (how the human/ the goal/ both relates to the VUCA world around) – #1, #3
C. an NLP approach (long-term changes of mindsets – beliefs, heart sets – moods, states and body sets – language, posture, embodiment, to attain the goal) – #2, #7, #8, #4
D. a cross-training or martial arts approach (micro-practices to perpetuate new habits, to train new skills, to instill new attitudes) – #2
E. an integral approach (defining the existing/ desired level of consciousness of the human or/ and of the goal, working with all the types of inner intelligence of the human, checking on all the perspectives – inner universe, actions and behaviors, relationships, the larger society, environment and processes) – #2, #4
I am a sherpa accompanying an Everest climber during an expedition. He might need me when:
- he sets an unclear destination;
- he loses focus from his intention;
- he starts the climb and needs to be in a certain mental/ emotional, physical, relational state;
- he collaborates with other climbers and/ or sherpas;
- he is preoccupied with other aspects in his life;
- he gets lost in case of obstacles and can not detach from the goal in order to have a clearer view;
- he has a goal (summit) bigger (higher) than his possibilities;
- he does not know his possibilities;
- he has limited/ none/ obsolete ways to reach to the summit.
The difference is that I coach before, during and after attaining the goal.

Fat-Free Longevity
Mutation spurs fat accumulation and longevity through separate paths
R. John Davenporthttp://sageke.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/2005/30/nf59
Abstract: Living long and slimming down figure prominently on many people's wish lists, and new results bolster hope for achieving both. Worms without a particular gene retain fat and cheat death, but different molecular pathways control the two outcomes. The study helps flesh out connections between fat and longevity.

On Muslim Holiday, Israel's Knesset Plans Hearings on Arab Issues
Next month committees will discuss work accidents in the construction industry and changes to the party funding law, the NGO the Abraham Fund says.
Knesset committees are expected to hold hearings on Israeli-Arab issues on a Muslim holiday next month, preventing Muslim and Druze MKs from taking part.
An Arab-Jewish coexistence group, the Abraham Fund, has appealed to have the dates of the meetings changed.
Id al-Adha – the Feast of the Sacrifice – will fall between September 11 and 14 this year; the Knesset will still be in summer recess but some committees will hold meetings on urgent matters.
The Abraham Fund says that during these days there will be discussions on work accidents in the construction industry and changes to the party funding law.
Amnon Beeri-Sulitzeanu and Thabet Abu Rass, the fund's co-CEOs, have asked Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein and the committee heads to postpone the meetings.
"It would be proper that when the Knesset sets an agenda, the needs of a community so central to Israeli society be taken into account. Holding the meetings on the said dates will prevent Arab-society representatives from taking part," they wrote.
"This fact is problematic both symbolically and substantively. It is impossible to imagine a situation in which the Knesset would hold a debate on an important Jewish holiday, and we believe that it should respect the Muslim calendar similarly."

Police constables and taxi driver 'looted' crashed truck
Five police constables and a taxi driver face charges of corruption and theft after allegedly looting a truck involved in a road accident in the Eastern Cape.
The truck crashed on Tuesday afternoon while transporting perishable goods between East London and Macleantown.
"The officers and the taxi driver allegedly helped themselves to perishable goods from the truck using a police vehicle as well as the taxi'" said Hawks spokesman Brigadier Hangwani Mulaudzi.
"The Hawks' Serious Corruption Investigation unit received a tip off and together with Crime Intelligence promptly responded and rounded up all the suspects. Members also manage to seize a number of boxes at various places in East London including at the local police quarters."
Constables Azola Ndongeni' 33' Mkolisi Matthews Gola' 38' Luthando Klaas' 34' Siyabonga Freddie' 36' Siseko Dayimani' 33 and taxi driver' Xolani Valantiya' 43 were granted R1'000 bail each after appearing in the East London Magistrate's Court on Thursday. They are due back in court on September 20.
"While I am outraged at the news of the five police officers' I am similarly excited that they were swiftly brought to book by their own colleagues'" said Hawks head' Lieutenant General Godfrey Lebeya.
"We will continue to confront any form of corruption and criminality in the SAPS [South African Police Service] precisely because we are of the firm belief that both forms of criminal behaviour have no place in our existence'" he added.

I made it here—no thanks to United Airlines—and was only 3.5 hours past my scheduled arrival when I was supposed to fly on that infernal carrier (I flew Lufthansa after rebooking).
Only a 45-minute flight from Munich, Zagreb is a small town for being Croatia's capital, with a population of just 800,000. It was largely untouched by World War II, and a lot of beautiful old architecture remains. My hotel is right in the city center. Tomorrow I'm going on a walking tour of the city with one of my hosts and his daughter, who works as a sightseeing guide. Photos to come, but here's my dinner tonight.
I wanted a traditional Croatian meal and I got one: ćevapčići, delicious minced lamb kebabs served with a fantastic flaky bread, raw onions, a scoop of local cheese (mild and tasty), and a dipping sauce made with eggplant and red peppers. We ate with our hands, which I'm told is the way it's done.
On the side we had a salad and big half-liter mugs of the local brew. It was a fantastic meal, and I couldn't finish two of the traditional 10 pieces of kebab they give you.
I'm exhausted and so to bed. Pictures will follow. On Sunday I'm to visit a Neanderthal site nearby (with a Museum) and get a hot-air balloon ride. I'm in good hands! My lectures are on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
Here's the last photo I took of James before I left yesterday; it may be the last time I ever see him. I have no word of doings at Botany Pond.

Dior: Designer of Dreams at the V&A
Abstract: If you have missed the Dior exhibition in Paris in 2017-18, then here's a chance for you to explore the newest (but a lot smaller) exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum; Dior: Designer of Dreams. The exhibition encapsulates the history of the brand and explores the impact it had as one of the most significant couturiers in the 20thcentury to the present day. It is no coincidence that it's held in London, as the exhibition also captures the relationship Dior had with Britain. Read more here.

Recorded at Harry J's, Dynamic and Channel 1 with the best of JA's usual suspects supporting, the self-produced, gospel/R&B inflected solo début by I-Three's singer Mowatt is nothing if not professional. And sometimes, as on "Slave Queen" and "Sisters' Chant" it's great. The self-conscious feminism, too, is refreshing in a genre (roots reggae) dominated by male hierarchy. For less than a pound (it was part of a 6 Lps for a fiver deal), I'd say we're winning the whole way 'round.There are at least two other covers that I think I would've preferred, the Jamaican one or the US one, but thrifters can't be choosers, can we.

So tonight I was cooking our Sunday dinner as I do every week. On Saturdays we go to our local market and buy fresh fish from the market for our Sunday night… this week was trout.
As I was cutting off the fish heads to toss them into the onions, tomatoes, garlic and crème fraîche I set into a verse of "Les poiiiiiissons, les poissons. how I love les poissons…" in a heavy french accent imitating the Disney cook Louis from the little Mermaid.
As I looked over coyly at the fella he looked completely lost at my imitation of what almost every American would know as the stereotypical embodiment of a French Chef by Disney's Little Mermaid that is engrained in US children's minds and incidentally extremely useful in teaching the use of "les" as a plural pronoun to Anglophones. Of course the Fella's look of sheer realization (once more) that he is truly living with a foreign being prodded me even more to add gusto to my performance which came at the right time as a was arriving at the "He-He-He Hon-Hon-Hon" part of the piece.
After performing throughly the entire song with full dedication the Fella mentioned that he wished that he had a way of live blogging his life with me. I agreed that this would probably be very entertaining to some.
In short YES knowing these sorts of references will come in handy at some time in your life in France. However be prepared to explain yourself when your French counterpart has no idea what on earth you are talking about. Or don't explain yourself and go along enjoying the fact that you sand the "Les Poisons" song while chopping off fish heads in your Parisian kitchen… that's pretty ok too.

A study done by the Delphi Group (copyright 2011), "The High Cost of Knowledge" has some important details that I think you will be interested in. In a survey of over 1000 office workers in mid to large size companies, they asked "compare the amount of work you are doing today compared to 10 years ago."
The answer to this question may surprise you. Only 11% reported they were doing the same amount work as 10 years ago. Thirty five percent said they are doing the work of two people. And 46% reported that they are doing the work of three or more people.
It was found that to cope with this workload and complex situations, over 48% of the worker survive by having over 10 windows open at any one time on their PC.
What these statistics tell me is that most organizations are under staffed and also have very ineffective systems that allow their user to easily access the information they need to get their jobs done. Users that are multi-taking between 10 or more applications are probably more likely to be stressed, prone to making errors, and not likely to handle the work-load in the long term.
What is the solution? I think that automating business process with workflow and integrating applications will help users work more effectively in these conditions.
I liked the conclusion that the Delphi Group ended their article with: "Ultimately our ability to provide knowledge workers with better tools with which to do their jobs will determine how quickly we can accelerate the growth and economic prosperity needed to create new innovations and new jobs – making this jobless recover and every future one as short as possible!"
The tools are available to make workers more efficient. In this past year I have helped organizations implement Laserfiche Document Management and Workflow software. I have seen amazing increases in user productivity using this tool, Laserfiche.

"Institute of Cosmic and Aviation Materials" was created in 1987. It was a time of the beginning of collapse of the Russian science and industry. The founders of the Institute Aristov Vasiliy Fedorovich and Anikin Vladimir Mikhailovich, was working that time at the State Institute of chemical-photographic industry (Pereslavl branch). Public funding of this institute initially drastically reduced and it had to lay off most of the staff, and since 1990 the state funding was cut completely and subsequently Pereslavl branch of GosNIIHimFotoProekt has been completely eliminated, all of its employees laid off, and the buildings began to rent out.
In order to retain the ability to do science Aristov V.F. and Anikin V.M. create Research - production cooperative "Myisl" (1987). In 1996, company "Myisl" was reorganized into CJSC "Institute of Cosmic and Aviation Materials" (CJSC NIIKAM). Since 1987 till present time, the institute has not received a ruble from the state budget of the Soviet Union or Russia. All the money we get, we get from space enterprises of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, USA, France, India, etc. for development, manufacture and supply of advanced materials for spacecraft and carrier rockets.
The NIIKAM complex includes both research laboratories (Institute), as well as plant for the production of cosmic materials, main owner and CEO of the Institute and plant is one - Aristov Vasiliy Fedorovich. On our plant we produce only what is developed (and usually patented) at our Institute.
To date, NIIKAM has developed and mastered the production of more than 90 different materials for unmanned spacecraft, manned spacecraft, launch vehicles, spacesuits.
The company develops. In 2009 - 2010 years output growth was 25-30%, the number of employees during that time increased by about 20% a year, the production area grew during this period by 4 times. In 2010 we developed, patented and mastered the production of 4 new material for cosmonautics in Russia and other countries.
Institute of Cosmic and Aviation Materials is located in Pereslavl-Zalessky of Yaroslavl region. There we bought a part of the building of the former factory of magnetic tapes, the former company "Slavich".

SMBs building IT service catalogs on their own terms
SMBs are choosing their own IT service catalog building blocks as ITIL proves too resource intensive.
More than 300,000 individuals worldwide have taken IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) exams since January 2009, according to anecdotal research gathered by IT Service Management consulting firm Pink Elephant. That isn't necessarily translating into full-out IT service catalog implementations based on ITIL practices, however -- not at midmarket companies, at least.
Many small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) are opting to develop an IT service catalog on their own terms, having suffered resource drain by following methodologies recommended within the broad ITIL Service Strategy and Service Design frameworks.
An IT service catalog brings order to what can potentially be chaotic: IT service delivery. The catalog helps IT shops define the services the business needs and automates the process for requesting and paying for the services. On the IT side, it gives administrators set policies for change, incident and configuration management, among other processes.
Christopher Steffen, principal technical architect at Kroll Factual Data, said he's a "huge" proponent of the order that ITIL practices can bring to such areas of the business as regulatory compliance. However, he added, it's not necessarily well suited for IT service delivery.
"We started [an IT service catalog] to a very minor extent and quickly realized how hellish it is," he said. "The idea [of having an ITIL service catalog] is outstanding, but unless you have a fleet of people who can manage the metrics -- how the services are performing, if you are living up to those metrics and how well you are maintaining services -- it is an exercise in futility."
Loveland, Colo.-based Kroll Factual Data, a 380-employee division of Kroll Inc., has adopted many ITIL processes for change management, and is a better-run organization because of it, he said. However, he cautioned, applying change management and configuration management best practices to all aspects of IT and IT services is not realistic.
It's more realistic to use ITIL as a "business tool, and not a tool to run your business" he said, adding that SMBs interested in developing an ITIL service catalog -- or any service catalog, for that matter -- should start with four areas:
- A service description.
- The service-level agreements or a basic time frame to complete the service.
- The cost to complete the service (measured in man-hours, actual dollars, etc.).
- Any specific steps that can be listed that are required to complete the service (basic outline of steps performed).
With the recent release of Microsoft's System Center Service Manager, Steffen said his team may take another crack at an IT service catalog but will let the tool functionality, vs. ITIL methodologies, guide development.
Service Manager is Microsoft's recently released service desk, or platform for automating IT Service Management best practices. The product is based on the Microsoft Operations Framework and ITIL practices, and is integrated with Microsoft's other systems management products: System Center Configuration Manager and System Center Operations Manager.
Microsoft is not the only IT service catalog platform game in town. FrontRange Solutions USA Inc.'s FrontRange ITSM, Service-now.com ITSM and VMware Inc.'s recently purchased Infra are affordable options as well, said George Spalding, an executive vice president at IT management consulting firm Pink Elephant in Rolling Meadows, Ill.
Creating a service catalog from scratch
Jeff Kadlec, IT director of Ridley Inc., a holding company for animal feed and nutrition companies such as Feed-Rite and McCauley Bros., has had his share of ITIL certifications over the years. And the ITIL practices he learned are reflected in the company's IT service catalog.
He and his team built an IT service catalog based on SharePoint and Microsoft Windows Workflow processes that allows employees to make individual service requests for an application.
"They can ask for wireless, new desktops, a new report out of the ERP system or IT training on Office 2010," he said. "The request is automatically sent to the right person on our team."
The idea [of having an ITIL service catalog] is outstanding, but unless you have a fleet of people who can manage the metrics … it is an exercise in futility.
Christopher Steffen, principal technical architect, Kroll Factual Data
He said he doesn't believe in the ITIL service catalog practice of making automatic chargebacks to the business.
"I think [automatic] chargebacks isolate IT from the business, and with how expensive [IT] is, we want that interaction so the requestor sees the value in the service and what we're doing," he said.
He, like many IT executives, chose the ITIL practices that work best for his organization.
Pink Elephant's Spalding agrees that many companies will be overwhelmed when faced with implementing 24 ITIL processes within a year. "Focus on IT operations, what needs help, and focus on the pain right up front," he said. "ITIL has some processes that solve those pains -- change management being the No. 1 pain."
A starting point for SMBs could be an order request fulfillment portal, he said. This automates service requests and doesn't involve a full-out service catalog implementation. Think of it as a site for easily automated requests such as a new laptop, vs. an IT service catalog in which the request is for 700 new desktops and the core automated services needed for those employees: email, OS, applications, access permissions, storage, etc. The requestor decides who gets access to which services and how the department will be billed.
And remember: Configuration management is a necessity you will eventually have to face.
"I would say that 90% of organizations get into ITIL for incident, problem and change management, make some quick wins, and say 'That must be ITIL,'" Spalding said. "If you really want to define services, put them in a catalog, and make promises about how well you'll provide them to users, then configuration management becomes a necessity."

US Gulf Coast sour crude benchmark Mars has had a dramatic summer — with its differential first spiking to a four-year high in June and then dropping nearly $9/b to its lowest level of the year.
Mars, as well as other US Gulf Coast sweets and sour grades, have followed the same trajectory in recent weeks. Mars reached its highest level since 2014 on June 7, when it was assessed at a $5.80/b premium to the underlying WTI crude contract. But as quickly as it shot up, Mars has fallen sharply. August barrels were heard trading Monday morning at a $3.70/b discount to WTI, which was $1.15/b lower than where S&P Global Plats assessed it on Friday.
While August Mars has sunk, September and October barrels are seen recovering. The August/September box for Mars was heard around -$1.80/b and October barrels have traded at slight premium to WTI.
"It's nice to buy on prompt pricing and sell September," one trader said. "[It's] easy money."
"Smart refiners will pick some up here," another trader said about the August differential for Mars.
Some crude traders said narrowing spreads between WTI and Brent and WTI and Dubai are putting downward pressure on US crudes. Others said the recent lows may be a market correction to the spike seen in June, when spreads were much wider.
The front-line Brent-WTI swaps spread has averaged about $6.30/b so far in July. That's compared to an average of about $8.65/b in June. As the spread between Brent and WTI and Dubai and WTI crudes narrows, export demand for US crudes typically diminishes.
However, there continues to be demand for US crudes, including Mars and Thunder Horse, as there have been recent purchases of the grades by Asian buyers looking for alternatives to Middle Eastern crudes.
Taiwan's Formosa Petrochemical Corp., bought 1 million barrels of Mars for delivery at the end of September through mid-October. The cargo was priced at a premium of between 50 cents/b and $1/b to Dubai, CFR, according to Platts data.
Elsewhere in the Gulf, benchmark Light Louisiana Sweet has dropped by about $10/b in a month.
The grade's differentials hit a three-year high of WTI cash plus $9.95 on June 19, on a day when the front-month WTI-Brent swaps spread was at $9.83/b.
LLS was assessed Friday at a 75 cents/b premium to the underlying WTI cash basis. The grade sunk lower Monday morning, dipping to a 65 cents/b discount to WTI before strengthening slightly to be flat with WTI.

Liverpool join race to sign Russian striker Fedor Chalov from CSKA Moscow
LIVERPOOL have reportedly joined their Premier League rivals in the race to snare Russian striker Fedor Chalov away from CSKA Moscow.
The 21-year-old has caught the eye of a number of clubs after chipping in with 17 goals and seven assists in 37 games last season.
Arsenal were linked with the player last month with claims that the Gunners were considering making a swoop for the youngster to compete with Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
Chalov netted against the North Londoners in the Europa League in the 2017/18 campaign, while he also scored in the 3-0 win against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu last term.
It is also believed that he is on the radar of Tottenham, Manchester City and Manchester United.
According to the Mirror, Jurgen Klopp's side are interested in Chalov - who is rated at £20million by the 2005 Uefa Cup winners.
They claim that he is also attracting the attention of German clubs Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig, La Liga outfit Sevilla and Ligue 1 side Monaco.
Liverpool are on the lookout for a new striker having just released Daniel Sturridge after failing to offer him a new deal at Anfield.
But the Merseyside club have tied down forward Divock Origi down to a new long-term contract following his heroics in the Champions League.
Chalov himself only signed a new deal in January to keep him at the VEB Arena until 2022.
The two-cap Russian international has been at CSKA since he was eight, and has banged in 30 goals in 86 games since making his debut in 2016.

Who's Worse for Israel: Hamas or Fatah?
Arutz-7 reported last week that: "(The PA) ambassador to India says Fatah does not recognize Israel anymore than Hamas." The report continues: "In an article he wrote in the official PA daily, Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, on November 26, Sadeq admitted that Fatah does not respect Israel anymore than Hamas does, and that moreover, the PA and Fatah utterly reject that Israel has any right to exist."
While Hamas has made its plans to exterminate Israel and the Jewish People abundantly clear, Fatah been taken an alternate route towards the same goal. The "Palestinians" would prefer to see Hamas in a leadership role. They voted them in in Gaza and if Israel were to relax its support in favor of the Fatah in Judea and Samaria, the Hamas would be ushered in as the new de facto leader there.
It seems that Hamas is better for the "Palestinians" in that it's less corrupt than Fatah. As far as which would serve their political purposes the best, Fatah definitely fits the profile. It's a terrorist organization with the stated goal of destroying Israel and creating a terrorist state in its place. It continues carrying out terrorist attacks while claiming to want to pursue dialogue with our leaders. The fact that it's gained international recognition helps allows it to keep murdering Jews with little if any repercussions.
Fatah boasts the support of liberal Jews and many Israeli Arabs while Hamas is seen as the more militant of the two. In fact, Fatah is the less religious one but just as militant as Hamas. It's dedicated to destroying Israel. Israeli leaders should begin paying more heed to Fatah. We should allow Hamas to take over in Judea and Samaria. If the "Palestinians" want to see Hamas in power, so be it!
Israeli leadership started out supporting Hamas; it even fouded it according to some sources. The purpose of this endeavor was to create friction amongst "Palestinian" extremists, thus flaming the fires of internal friction. The experiment failed and we've been left to deal with another terrorist faction. The many attempts at ceasefire and reconciliation between Hamas and Fatah are a show created for the consumption of the West. In fact, Hamas demanded–and was granted the release of Fatah terrorists alngside its own hoodlums. What it boils down is which faction is better equipped to fight Israel. In my opinion, Fatah is the more dangerous of the two because of the factors mentioned above: its appeal amongst liberal intellectuals in Israel and the West, the support Israel's government has alotted it, and the fact that Fatah is worse for the "Palestinians": in other words, what helps our enemies hurts us.
