Corey and I were going to meet some folks as the pool hall after work. He was lazy and didn't want to drive to East Lansing, so I said to meet me at my house and I'd drive. He was late.
Me: Bitch where you at 12:17 AM
Corey Kelly: I got lost….. 12:18 AM
Corey Kelly: Classic corey 12:19 AM

Me: Oh ffs 12:21 AM
Me: How far 12:21 AM
Corey Kelly: Like 10 seconds 12:25 AM
I went outside at this point to wait. Looking up the street, I saw Corey pulling into the wrong driveway.
Me: You're at the wrong house 12:27 AM
A few minutes later, he backs out and begins looking for the right house, finally. He saw my text after he was in my car.

(09:18:11 PM) edar: both
I was sitting in the tub, watching Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in one window on a laptop, and the NASA Orion launch in another window (because we live in the future,) feeling pretty chuffed about technology. Eight minutes into the launch video, my laptop and cell phone ring in unison (again, because we live in the future,) and I see it's Corey Kelly. Because it is Corey Kelly, and I am now his BFF (as seen here: "ckelly: touch BFFs.edar.ckelly" I mean, I can't argue with that kind of power,) I pause SHIELD, break my sanctuary, and answer the phone.
Corey: Yo. What're you doing?
Me: Taking a bath.
Corey: Ew. You could've lied.
Me: Yeah. Sorry. What're you doing?
Corey: I got this awesome sweater today!
Me: Do go on.
Corey: It's a Christmas sweater!
Me: Of course it is. I need photos.
Corey: I don't have any though.
Me: Take one and send it to me.
Corey: Ok. Hey, would it be bad if I had sex with a girl on my roommate's bed? Since all I have is an air mattress?
Me: Put down a towel first, you'll be fine.
Corey: What's this brown stuff I'm eating?
(07:29:37 PM) Corey Kelly: idk why I get distracted with things I know I already said
(07:29:42 PM) Corey Kelly: doesnt make any sense

With curious anticipation, I arrived at CES for the third year, not knowing what to expect. Having interviewed over 150 companies while attending 45 or more conferences, I wondered what surprises Jill Gilbert had cooked up.
Robots on the Runway- a fashion show of robots showing off their wares while walking down a runway to music- was a fun and entertaining way to learn about the current and future uses for Robotics. According to a recent survey of business executives by PricewaterhouseCoopers, robotics is one of the 10 technology trends on the minds of business executives for 2014.
Robin Raskin, the founder and president of Living in Digital Times brought her sense of humor as she kicked off the fun with the music fanfare.
Fun robots which danced down the runway included:
- Parrot Mini– a wireless flying quadricopter, using an accelerometer, ultrasonic sensor, gyroscope, downward-facing camera, is the first flying toy piloted with Bluetooth
- Orbotix– captures connected play with a focus on robotics. You can play alone or in groups with multiplayer games of tag and there is also an augmented reality component. Noteworthy is their project to get girls involved with coding using spero
- Keeker– not quite a toy and not yet useful- designed to be used at home
Telepresence robots which proudly demoed their communication capabilities were:
- Revolve Robotics- uses a tablet to make real life teleconferencing simple
- Anybots– gives us a 3- D view of events which might include Virtual presence can enable children in medical treatment- working remotely, or seeing a wedding
Educational robots made me wonder what might be next:
- Barobo– a robot helping to teach math by allowing the students to see, hear and touch math
- Origami Robotics- allowing special needs kids to interact, socialize and learn in new way
Robots that act like another arm included:
- Unbounded Robotics -can help a disabled person reach and grab or can be used in a manufacturing setting
Exoskeleton robots that can help the disabled gave the dreamers in the audience hope for the future:
- Esko Bionics -can help a disabled person augment mobility, strength and endurance, by allowing someone wheel chair bond to stand upright and have some movement
I found the Robots on The Runway to be both educational and entertaining- a testament to the creativity and imagination of the show's producer – Jill Gilbert. I can't wait to see what Jill, a self described alchemist, will cook up next year.

Viet Nam – a developing S&T market
Nowaday, Vietnam is no longer the rural territory, only covered with rice fields and jungles, that Occident still imagines in its representation of Orient. Vietnam is a development success story. Political and economic reforms launched in 1986 have transformed the country from one of the poorest in the world, with per capita income around US $100, to lower middle income status within a quarter of a century with per capita income of around US $2,100 by the end of 2015. Not only are incomes higher, but the Vietnamese population is better educated and has a higher life expectancy than most countries with a similar per capita income.
With the geographic location advantage, Vietnam has many opportunities to attract investment flows, exploit foreign financial resources, management experience and manpower to improve its S&T capacity.
Vietnam embodies a new growing destinations in South East Asia, which has both the ambition and the means to become one of the top locations in the world for offshore services.
Furthermore, Vietnam adopts new technologies and trains its engineers at a steady pace, which is the promise for information technologies firms of a swift development with skilled workforce.

Local people in Kunming all know the saying "On March 3, go to the Western Hills for a hike". Springtime should not be wasted, so do not miss the green willows and red flowers, listening to the sound of the wind and the singing of the birds, looking at the vast and misty waves of the endless Dianchi Lake. If you have one free day, you must visit the Western Hills.Most people are busy at work on weekdays. But in your spare time, you must bring some friends to the Xishan Forest Park, which is also known as the "Sleeping Beauty".
Last weekend, we went for a hike there. Because it was a weekend, the scenic area was crowded with tourists, we waited for more than an hour in the waiting room at the foot of the mountain to get on the bus to the Western Hills Scenic Area. When we arrived in the park, we took a sightseeing bus and hiked a little. Of course, you can choose to walk all the way up the mountain, which will take about 3 hours, the landscapes change along the way. There is even clear spring water for you to quench your thirst, and eliminate your sleepiness.
It was a beautiful sunny day and the trees covered the mountain path, making it blissfully cool. There were many stalls on the roadside, selling local seasonal fruits and snacks. If you were tired of walking, you could choose to sit down and have a taste of the fresh local fruits. Refreshing fruit juice is the best way to banish excessive summer heat.
After the steep cliff of Sanqing Pavilion, often stopping along the way, we finally made it to the Dragon Gate atop the Hill. Along a narrow path on the cliff face of the Dragon Gate, the thousands of steps with stone carvings and caves were carved by the craftsmen of the Qing Dynasty by hand using very primitive tools. The carvings are elaborate and as a whole, spectacular.
As we passed through the gate, we found a "Lucky Bead" hanging in the middle of the door frame. It is said that if you touch it, you will get a good fortune, and the bead was polished by so many hands that you can see how much people believe in it.
On top of the Dragon Gate, you can see a panoramic view of Dianchi Lake and feel the fresh wind, which makes people relaxed and happy.
We continued our walk along the ancient road and hiked to the highest point of the Western Hills - Lingxu Pavilion, here you can also see a panoramic view of Dianchi, villages, tall buildings...in brief, the whole city of Kunming. After a short rest, we began to take the cable car down the mountain overlooking Dianchi lake.
After the cable car, we walked along the Ancient Road of Taihua Temple, which is surrounded by bamboo and lined with pine trees. In the midst of the vast forest of pines and cypresses is hidden a painted tower, which used to be a famous bell tower at the entrance of Huating Temple. It is a solemn scene hearing the pure sound of the bell reverberating through the scattered buildings of the temple, while people worship Bodhisattva and Luo Han inside its halls.
After this visit, the whole day had gone by. After our minds lingered in the waves of Dianchi Lake, ringing with the forest, wind, flowers, birds and temple bells..., we would miss the Western Hills greatly, but everyone has to return to the earthly world one day, right?
When you are in Kunming, do not miss a trip to the Western Hills! Try out our Kunming Hiking Tour for a more dynamic visit to the hills. Or you can just contact us for more information.

The upcoming weekend (19-20 november) there is the Open Swedish Team Championship in Stockholm, Sweden. The tournaments has been played for many many years and has from time to time been very popular. This year it does not seem to be very many players in the tournament. Historically there are mostly teams from Sweden, Finland and Estonia involved in the tournament. It would be a great to see more countries coming the the capital of Scandinavia to participate in this fun event and get to know more people in the industry.
The location for the tournament is Rosengatan 1, KFUM. The location is just perfect, in the city center and close to most attractions, shops and restaurants. If you bring your family to this event they will have plenty of fun while exploring the city.
The rules for the games are the usual and most common for Renju players. It will be time control 30+5min and Soosyrv-8. The teams should consist of 3 players and optionally 1 reserve player.
The cost is 40 kr per person.
As of now there is 4 non-Swedish teams registered. 1 team from Russia and 3 teams from Estonia.
It is great to see that Estonia is coming with 3 teams this year and are in the front edge of the development in Norther Europe. It is a development that we hope will spread to other countries. The question is how Estonia have became such great nation for Renju. We talked to one leading players from Estonia that says. Due to the great popularity of games in Estonia and the growth of online casino or online kasiino as it is called in Estonia. The scene for games such as Renju has been extraordinary favourable in Estonia. We will update you with the results from the tournaments and other any other information that could be of your interest. We wish all the participants good luck in the tournament. May the best team win!

Hunkaar – Mysa
Hunkaar is a name that will soon catch people's attention in the near future. Displaying his talents to the world, Hunkaar recently released a brand new single titled "Mysa", which is quite unique from the typical electronic music we hear today.
Not much information is known about this upcoming producer, but his music can definitely speak for itself. Hunkaar's debut track titled "Chemicals" received heavy support from fans across the globe with its mesmerizing future bass elements and top-notch production quality.
Following the success of his first release and with the momentum on his side, Hunkaar has returned to drop the astonishing "Mysa". The track opens up with a slow buildup, with the delivery of some soothing melodies and a pounding beat. "Mysa" soon transitions into the hypnotizing synth progressions that oscillate in a lengthy sequence.
The track keeps a consistent flow of energy until the end and maintains its blissful, summer vibes throughout. Overall, with its unparalleled deep house sounds and its relaxing musical experience, "Mysa" is most certainly set to propel Hunkaar's career to entirely new heights.
Listen to the full track below and you can show your support for "Mysa" on the Spinnin' Talent Pool here.

Fans of the Montreal Canadians have no use for the Boston Bruins on a good day.
They especially have no use for them during a Stanley Cup playoff series. And they certainly have no use for them following another questionable hit by a Boston Bruins hockey player.
At 4:37 of the second period, Milan Lucic flattened Jaroslav Spacek into the glass, sending Spacek to the ice battered and bloodied.
Lucic was given a boarding major and a game misconduct, and now awaits word on whether he'll face further sanctions by the league office.
"I haven't had a chance to look at it. I don't even know how they are seeing it. Again, I think the five-minute was because he was cut, said Bruins coach Claude Julien.
The Bruins and Canadians have offered up Stanley Cup playoff hockey at its best.
Will the Bruins be without one of their top players for tonight's seventh and deciding game at Boston Garden?

Yesterday, Tuesday, July 12th, 2016, my grandmother Lee and I flew out to Rochester, NY. We will be here until July 17. From Rochester, we drove 40 minutes east to a village called Palmyra, which is where Joseph Smith lived from 1816 til around 1830, before moving to Kirtland, Ohio and Far West, Missouri. Hence, the story of Mormonism begins here.
Why is this important? I answered God's call to come here to Palmyra. An obscure little town in upstate New York draws thousands of Mormons each night, from July 8-9 and 12-16th to the Hill Cumorah Pageant. Joseph Smith believed that in 1823, an angel named Moroni showed up in his bedroom here in Palmyra and relayed information about golden plates buried in a nearby hill- Cumorah. Moroni said that Joseph must meet him at the Hill Cumorah every year to the day for 4 years, and then Joseph could unearth the golden plates.
Mormons believe that a record of the ancient inhabitants of the Americas was recorded on the plates and buried by their last prophet, Moroni, before their civilization was annihilated in 421 A.D. This group of people, known as the Nephites, supposedly came to the Americas from Israel around 600 B.C. Nephi's brothers, Laman and Lemuel, rebelled against the family and became Lamanites, and Mormons believe that God cursed the Lamanites with dark skin, or what the Book of Mormon calls "skin of blackness." (2 Nephi 5:21).
Mormons have a phenomenal pageant with hundreds in the cast, and the production is the 3rd largest in the world. The pageant starts at 9:15pm every night.
I am a missionary out here under the covering of CRC (Christian Research & Counsel), and it is amazing how people come here speak the truth to the Mormons. CRC puts on a "Plain and Precious Things about Christ and the Bible" presentation and teaching sessions in Palmyra's Main Street Park every day this week at 2pm. Such topics as the reliability of the Bible, the bodily resurrection of Christ, the need for a Savior, and worldviews are discussed, and several pastors from local churches are present to teach and train Christians to be equipped to speak with Mormons.
Now, there are some Christians out here who are completely independent who are called "Screechers" and some that are known as "Street Preachers." Screehers are known as those who mock Mormonism by shouting, blowing shofars at the pageant entrance, dressing up in Satan costumes while holding up the Book of Mormon in mockery, and those who do those sorts of things. I do not endorse those methods, nor are those methods sanctioned by those in the ministry outlet that I am a part of. That is not my philosophy of reaching people and I think it often turns more Mormons off to Christianity than it does lead them into Christianity. Street Preachers are some people from local churches that come out to share the Word of God on the streets, not in an abrasive way necessarily, but there can be those who do this.
I will not go so far as to say they are not brothers in the Lord because they preach the gospel, and some one may really hear out what they have to say, but we are not called to bash and bash and bash the darkness, we are called to put on the light. If we fight darkness, darkness can comprehend what we are doing, that is why Mormons' persecution complex pops up within them and they get even more feelings that they are right because of how ridiculous some Christians can be with their approach. However, we are called to be a light IN the darkness. When we are the light in the darkness, the dark cannot comprehend it! The dark definitely notices the light, but it cannot understand and comprehend it. This is why when we showed up, even though I was wearing my white shirt and tie, Mormons can pick up when someone is not a member; and it is because this is a spirit behind it. Our battles are not against flesh and blood, but against spirits and principalities. Read Ephesians 6. This is why there were several Mormons who were elderly and middle-aged who were sitting in lawn chairs as we walked by and they studied us and stared, and they looked uncomfortable in their spirits, and you could tell that there was a war going on in the spirit realm between the Christians and the Mormons. It didn't matter how you dressed or what you looked like on the outside. People watch. People observe. And people know and can 'pick up' when something is different around you. That is why uneasiness, tension, and contention occurs. This is not a bad thing, it is bound to happen when the truth comes forth and shines in the darkness. This light that we have is not our own, it is God's light. We do not get the glory for anything we do, we must give God the glory.
When the seats for around 9,000 people are set up on the grassy prairie of the west side of the Hill Cumorah, that is where I go to talk to Mormons.
All we did is drove our car into the pageant grounds like everyone else (it feels like a mini-state fair with food and drink tents set up) and we go to the seating area. When this happens, the area floods with Mormon missionaries and the pageant cast members who have copies of the Book of Mormon and what they call Interest Cards. We talk and dialogue with whomever comes up to us and approaches us, which is a great opportunity that the Lord gives for us to do this kind of conversation.
I met up with Pastor Tony Goddard of Christian Community Church of East Williamson, New York at Fellowship Bible Church in Palmyra yesterday and met other Christian missionaries. There are guys who are older, army vets, younger teenage girls and guys, people of all ages, socio-economic background, and ethnic backgrounds, who come together in one accord to reach the lost with the pure and simple Gospel of Jesus Christ. Dinner was at 5:00pm yesterday at the church and it was a phenomenal time to fellowship with other believers. Pastor Jon Bransford and his family were there, Sue Grape and her husband were there, and it was a great time to meet everyone.
I partnered up with a Christian man named Brad, and he was my missionary companion last night at the pageant. Two Mormons, one named Elder Lester (from Gilbert, AZ) and the other named Elder Berrong (from South Weber, UT), came and talked to us, and we talked for an hour straight. The conversation was fruitful and we definitely planted seeds of truth. Elder Lester is not a missionary yet, he described himself as pre-missionary. My heart broke for these 2 Mormons young men because they were sweating bullets when we shared our testimony to them and the things from LDS sources we had issues with concerning Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. We were not there as "Anti's" as they call Anti-Mormons. This is why we are very careful as Christians to be culturally sensitive (without compromising the Truth) with them because any wrong move or wordage can make a light-switch go off in their heads that we are Anti-Mormon, which we are not. We are anti-Mormonism and anti-Mormon doctrine, which we need to be, but we are not anti-Mormon because we love the Mormon people. Jesus Christ created Mormon people, just like he did Baptists, Methodists, and all people on this earth. We are called to love them.
Look at he woman at the well in the Bible. Jesus confronted her and told her the truth, but not out of hatred. He came to her WHERE SHE WAS AT. We need to reach people where they are at and at their level instead of assuming we know what they believe. Just because the LDS Church's First Presidency and their teachings manuals teach the official doctrine does not mean that all Mormons are rank-in-file along with that. There were several that we met who were from other LDS splinter churches.
One of the ironies with the "restoration" of Mormonism was that the whole point was Joseph Smith seeing all the denominations, sects, and branches of Christianity, and seeing how they contended against one another, which is a legitimate concern obviously. What Mormons may not realize is that there have been literally hundreds of Mormon sects and offshoots from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It's not just the LDS Church. So, which of those offshoots is the "true" church? A majority of these little groups believe they are the true church and all the others are wrong. So, the irony is that Joseph Smith did not solve this problem, neither did the coming forth of the Book of Mormon.
As a matter of fact, we spoke with a man around 55 years old who was in one of those splinter groups. There were at least a few dozen of them there at the pageant, and they wore blue polo shirts with a picture of the gold plates on them that said "BMF- Witnesses for Jesus." Brad and I spoke with this man for roughly 2 hours. He said that they are called "Restorationists" and belong to the Zion Bound sect in Independence, Missouri. They believe in the Book of Mormon, but do not believe that the LDS Church is the true church. This man straight-up denied that Joseph Smith believed in or practiced polygamy (he said that Brigham Young started it), they do not believe in temples, baptism for the dead, the restoration of the priesthood, and they even question the First Vision account that Joseph Smith had! He said that they don't worship Joseph Smith and venerate him like the mainstream LDS Church does, they just see Joseph Smith as the vehicle in which the Book of Mormon was brought forth. They believe that Joseph Smith had the seer stone and put it in the hat to translate the Book of Mormon, just as the LDS Church just came out with for the first time publicly last year.
When talking with this man, Brad and I found much common ground with him, but the only thing we disagreed on was that he believed the Book of Mormon was a true, historical account, and he believed that North America was the location of the future city of New Jerusalem. Also, he did not believe in the rapture of the church, which I obviously do.
I got to share with this man my knowledge of the End Times, the Book of Revelation, the feasts of Israel under the Old Covenant and how their patterns are being fulfilled since Christ; this includes the Feast of Trumpets, which is a foreshadowing of the Rapture, and talked to him about Revelation 4:1 being the point in the the Book of Revelation when the rapture takes place. Revelation 1-3 took place is the past, and Revelation 4:1 is when the rapture takes place, because John was caught up into heaven, and Revelation chapters 4-22 takes place in the future. This is why in Revelation 4-22, the church is no longer mentioned anymore! This is because the Rapture takes place in 4:1 right before the Great Tribulation starts, and Christ deals with those who are left behind in the chapters following chapter 4. God's dealings with the people on earth during the Tribulation are with the unbelievers who are left on earth and the Jews, and His Church which is in Heaven during the Tribulation, which is why we are in Heaven during that time receiving our rewards at the Bema judgment, and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb takes place the last year of the Tribulation, so that we will come back WITH Christ at His Second Coming to rule and reign with Christ for 1,000 years during the Millennium.
The man said, "Wow, I've never heard this stuff before… I really need to read up on this and check it out." I'm no expert on the Book of Revelation and the Last Days, but after studying Perry Stone's materials and ministry and this subject since I was 13, it's just an area that I am passionate about and able to touch on when the occasion calls for it.
This was such a revelation to him, and many others from CRC on our missionary team spoke with other Restorationists. They even have their own version of the Book of Mormon, and they thanked us for being there, as they do not appreciate the Mormon views and think the Mormons are led astray.
I cannot put into words the amount of spiritual warfare I have endured because of this missions trip. My wife will tell you and testify of this, as she experienced the dreams I had in the night, the burden for intercessory prayer that has weighed upon me. I have had to pray in tongues when I've had no other words to say. As Jude 1:20 says, "But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit…" we are to pray in the Holy Spirit. This relates to the Book of Romans when it talks about God interceeding for us when we have nothing left to give.
I have pleaded with the Lord, wrestled with Him, sought Him, prayed to Him, and heard from Him, and any time we or someone says they hear from God, what they hear MUST be in agreement with the Word (the Bible) and confirmed by 2-3 witnesses. (See 2 Corinthians 13:1 and Mark 16:20).
I received grievous attacks from the devil since the end of April of 2016. They have been literally non-stop until now. I had it so bad this past Sunday and even the night leading up to this trip that my wife said, "This trip is under so much attack because the devil knows what is going to happen there." This is so true, and I cannot explain the attacks, but if anyone doesn't believe in spiritual warfare, I'll tell you, it's real.
My grandmother got an infection in her foot on Monday, the day before our trip, and went in to get help for it the night before we left. I had several hindrances that tried to stop me from coming on the trip. We ran into so many issues when we arrived at the airport with our rental car and I can go on and on with the attacks the devil has tried to place on me. He has wanted to get me so physically worn out so that I cannot function and be a missionary out here, and he has tried to get me to give up on ministry, my calling as a minister of the gospel, and trying to give up on reaching the Mormons.
But, there is good news. Devil, I have something to say to you: You are wrong! I will not give up in this fight. The Apostle Paul went through divers temptations and trials, and he still held his ground, because His ground WAS Christ. I will do the same, and I will push on not in my own strength, but in the One who gives me this strength. I will not give up, and I will be serving the Lord and reaching out to Mormons until either the Rapture takes place, or until I am called home to be with the Lord, whichever happens first.
I used to not believe in spiritual warfare when I was a Lutheran, because no one ever talked about that kind of stuff. Everyone just went to church because it was the thing you do, and assumed you were a Christian because you were raised in it, went through confirmation, and just simply went to church. That used to be me, but while I was in that, I realized something was missing. It was a personal relationship with the Lord, which is ripe in the New Testament. I didn't believe in dreams and visions, and spiritual warfare until I started experiencing it myself. I mean, this was God's means of leading me out of believing in Mormonism and believing in Christ of the Bible! So I have to really implore my fellow Christians who do not believe that God speaks to us today, who do not believe in God's miracles in these days, and who do not believe in speaking in tongues, prophecy, and having literal dreams from God, I have this to say: I have experienced these first-hand, and know literally dozens of people delivered from alchoholism, homosexuality, fornication, atheism, Satanism, the occult, Islam, etc. Read Joel chapter 2 and Acts chapter 2. God clearly communicates to His people in these last days through dreams and visions; it's amazing! Plus, I was so wrapped up in Mormonism because that is all I was studying during the daytime when I was 14 and 15 that I believe God needed to get my attention during the nighttime when I was asleep and He did just that!
Dreams from God in the night were how I came out of Mormonism and into a saving relationship with the Lord, so it amazes me that there are Christians who don't believe in it. We need to hear from God in order to get saved in the first place, so how can Christians really think that we can't hear from God? How can we have a one-sided relationship with Him, only praying to Him but not believing we can hear back? The Bible is the LOGOS word, meaning, the Word of God. The RHEMA word is the Word of God revealed to us personally as God speaks to us. If Christians do not believe in personal revelation and having dreams and visions from God, then how can they explain God doing that with me in order to come out of something false? How can they believe that they don't exist when there are hundreds of Muslims around the world who have been having actual visions of Jesus Christ appearing to them?
You see, a man with a theory is never at the mercy of a man with an experience.
Muslims get saved through visions, and if that's the case, then we should thank God that He leads people out of their past whether it is Islam or Mormonism, because sometimes a dream or a vision is what it is going to take for that person to believe in it! Look at Thomas in the Bible. He actually needed to see the holes in Christ's hands. Some people, like me, were so wrapped up in Mormonism that God needed to use dreams to get my attention, and praise God for that.
I will make another post sometime tomorrow, as time permits. I am so busy out here today and the rest of the trip that I will do my best to post an update on each day when I can.
Please pray for me today as I go into battle once more, and face the enemy with the Light of Christ. The enemy is not the Mormon people; the enemy is the devil and his lies and false doctrines. May God's favor, blessing, and light shine forth today as we bring the good news to the captives, for this is my prayer, and I ask that it may be yours too. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

We recently attended the Democratic National Convention in Denver to connect delegate members of the American Federation of Teachers with stations and networks back in their home markets and states. The topic for discussion was the importance of education in the upcoming presidential election, and why education needs to be at the top of the agenda for policymakers. Politics aside, on-site event coverage has a number of advantages for both spokespeople and reporters.
The most important benefit is connection. Radio is the perfect medium to allow local spokespeople to talk with local reporters from a timely event. Reporters get a local focus from a national story, providing them with the content they seek to connect with their audience, and spokespeople get to share information on the impact of the event they are attending and what it means for people back home.
When a member of an association is attending an event and representing a group from his or her local market, it provides a great opportunity to relay the feel and atmosphere of the event to those back home and gives listeners information about how their local interests are being represented. Whether they are in Washington DC to fight for particular legislation or at a convention to release their latest research, on-site radio recordings and interviews help to position spokespeople as ambassadors for an issue. And it helps provide insights into an issue for constituents back home.
There are some important things to keep in mind when managing an on-site project. The logistics can mean a lot of coordination in terms of scheduling and timing, but the investment is well worth it. And, working with so many different spokespeople and trying to relay the same consistent messaging can make media training a challenge. But what outweighs the hard work going into it is the quality results coming out of it. Whether doing interviews or feeding sound bites back to home markets, usage rates for local projects tend to be about eight to ten percentage points higher than other national stories. And, spokespeople love the interaction with the stations and are proud to be the conduit to their home market on important issues impacting members of their local communities.

Hi everybody! Happy Monday! I don't know about you, but I think dressing for work is hard. Harder than it should be. Outfits need to be professional (and for now let's just ignore how ambiguous that guideline is), travel well, and fit precisely. But I also want them to be feminine, fun, and reflect my personality. I want to feel confident and good about the way I look. And, in my mind, that's a tall order.
For me the solution comes by limiting my options. I have roughly 6 work outfits that are my go-tos. I either repeat them or some variation on them every week. While this may sound boring, for me it's a lifesaver. It means packing for work travel is a breeze (3 pairs of black tights? check! maroon skirt, blue dress, and grey pants? check! 3 silk blouses in neutral colors? check!), and it also means that I don't stress about creating a new look that fits all the guidelines all the time. I can hit snooze a few times and know I'll still make it out the door when I need to in the morning. And, it means that I can invest in high quality pieces and feel confident that I will get great wear out of them (thereby beating out the "cost per wear" I get on some of the cheaper items I have in my closet). This outfit is composed entirely of those types of investment pieces, each of which has been shown on this blog multiple times, styled differently in each cameo. They are favorites of mine, and a nice security blanket for knowing that when push comes to shove, these items are there for me.
Do you have any of those types in your closet? I'd love to hear your favorite brands and pieces for easing the work-wear burden. I hope you all have great weeks, and thanks so much for stopping by!

The leniency policy which was introduced in Hungary as early as 2003 to encourage "penitent" undertakings to confess, unfortunately failed to fulfil the high hopes of the legislator. One might wonder what could be the reason for the relatively low number of processed applications, which are not supported by exact statistical data (only informal data), but taking a look at the currently operative rules of the Criminal Code the answer is simple. At the moment, in the case of filing for leniency in accordance with the rules of the competition law act, there is no guarantee that the applicant will be exempted from the criminal consequences defined in the Criminal Code.
As the obviously incongruent regulation has a negative effect on the leniency programme, the Hungarian Competition Authority ("HCA") itself, as well as the government, urged an amendment on the way towards making the leniency policy more attractive. As a result, this year a proposal of the new Criminal Code was finally accepted by Parliament during the parliamentary session held between June 18, 2012 and July 13, 2012, and it is now awaiting signature and proclamation. It is hoped that the new provisions therein will resolve the currently fearful contradiction.
The present scenario is rather risky and naturally frightens off most undertakings possessing information or participating in a cartel. Based on the fact that there were only a handful of cases, the offered benefits are not enough to outweigh the possible disadvantages imposed by criminal law. The current domestic system, frankly speaking, fails to support the participants in the leniency programme from all aspects uniformly. However, against this handicap, there were some outstandingly successful cases in the Hungarian story of leniency policy. For example, in one of the most prominent cartel cases, the railway construction cartel, the investigation of the HCA was significantly facilitated by the leniency application of one of the cartel participants, whereas the HCA imposed a total fine of HUF 7,178 billion. In another salient case thankful for a leniency application, the road-, bridge building, and renovation cartel – operating during public procurement procedure between 2002 and 2006 – was successfully eradicated, with a fine equal to HUF 2,906 billion imposed on three undertakings. Meanwhile, the one filing for leniency was fully exempted from the penalty.
Harmonisation – Criminal and competition law provisions
The HCA itself takes the view that the low number of applications is likely to be due to the disharmony above described. Pursuant to the current Criminal Code, the statutory rules applicable to cartels committed during public procurement and concession procedures are rather strict. Someone who files for leniency under the competition act may be "rewarded" five years imprisonment, if the authority already has knowledge on the cartel activity, under the Criminal Code. It is also a negative feature that the "authority" which shall be informed first hand by the cartel perpetrator hoping to qualify for the exemption or mitigation includes both the competition and criminal investigative authorities, as well as the public procurement authority. It should also not be forgotten that the HCA is under a statutory obligation to file a report with the criminal authorities in cases where it discovers an act of public procurement and concession cartel which is capable of restraining competition.
Among others, the new national piece of legislation aims to offer a positive spin for undertakings, due to the new rules which certainly purport to eliminate the momentarily existing controversy. One of the most crucial novelties is a provision under which someone (an executive officer, member, member of the supervisory board, employee or an authorized person of an undertaking at the time of the perpetration of the cartel) who reveals the circumstances of the cartel in a leniency application can be exempted from the penalty or mitigated in situations where the HCA has already gained some information about the cartel activity but does not possess enough data to commence an investigation or procedure. An additional encouraging provision is the one under which the cartel "surrendering" party in cases requiring special consideration may qualify for mitigation or exoneration from the penalty even if the investigation of the HCA has already commenced. Another positive feature of the new law is that the fixed five years imprisonment will be changed to a period extending from one to five years. The concept of the authority which shall be notified by the "surrendering" party is also narrowed only to authorities acting in criminal cases.
In relation with the development of the leniency policy, it is worth noting that a new piece of legislation was introduced in 2009 to rule out another contradictory provision in the competition act under which the party filing for leniency had to bear the risk of paying damages similarly to the "silent" party. The conflict of law was finally resolved in 2009 and, in accordance with the current rules, the "surrendering" party shall decline payment of damages until the claim can be enforced against another cartel perpetrator.
The future of leniency policy
The Criminal Code along with the 2009 competition law changes are certainly welcomed by all in the hope of facilitating the true purposes of the leniency policy. The only regret is that the new law enters into force on July 1, 2013, which means that the new tools are not yet operative and are causing a delay to positive results.

If you've followed my blog in any capacity, you may have noticed I've been gone for the past 8 months. Well, I assure you it's not because I've been twiddling my thumbs, staring at a blank screen. I've been focusing all my writing efforts into writing a book. More accurately, I'm expanding a serialized short story I wrote a long time ago into a full novel.
The story right now it tentatively called "The Long Walk". It's about a Muslim walking across a post-apocalyptic Canada on his journey toward Mecca for Hajj. Along the way his faith is tested and he must survive horrific creatures and, worse still, other people. He is joined by a young girl who, over time, becomes his protege, and the story becomes her journey as much as Hanif's. A major theme in the book is the purpose of religion and belief in human society, even after society has collapsed. My goal is to write a I've uploaded all 3 parts of the original short story here onto my blog for you to enjoy (and critique! I appreciate the feedback). Continue reading "So I'm Writing a Book…"

UK says killer robots will not meet requirements of international law
At a parliamentary debate called by Nia Griffith MP on 17 June the UK Minister for Counter Proliferation, Alistair Burt MP provided further information on British policy regarding fully autonomous weapons.
In response to Nia Griffith, who is Vice-Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Weapons and Protection of Civilians, the Minister stressed that the UK does not possess fully autonomous weapon systems and has no intention of developing them.
In a significant statement, the Minister noted that by the UK Government's interpretation existing international law applicable to weapons would prevent the development of fully autonomous weapons, which he agreed can be defined as weapons which, once activated, can select and engage targets without further human intervention.
"As I had the chance to read the hon. Lady's speech before the debate, I noticed that she used the phrase "Furthermore, robots may never be able to meet the requirements of international humanitarian law". She is absolutely correct; they will not. We cannot develop systems that would breach international humanitarian law, which is why we are not engaged in the development of such systems and why we believe that the existing systems of international law should prevent their development."
By recognising that fully autonomous weapons "will not" be able to meet the requirements of international humanitarian law, this position provides a significantly stronger barrier to the development of fully autonomous weapons than the government's previously stated position, presented at the UN Human Rights Council on 30 May, that existing IHL is sufficient to regulate the development and use of such weapons.
However, a certain ambiguity reappeared when the Minister noted later in the debate that:
"We think the Geneva conventions and additional protocols provide a sufficiently robust framework to regulate the development and use of these weapon systems."
If 'regulate' in this context can be taken to mean 'prohibit' then these positions are coherent, The government should make whether it is saying that existing law prevents the development of fully autonomous weapons or whether it is saying that existing law is sufficient for regulating their development and use.
The government's position in relation to the implementation of national moratorium as recommended in the recent report to the Human Rights Council by UN special rapporteur Christof Heyns also remains inconsistent with its national position, which it has now articulated very strongly:
"The United Kingdom, having made its own decision that it is not developing these weapons, believes that the basis of the legal system on weaponry is such as to prevent that development."
Despite this strong rejection of fully autonomous weapons, the Minister noted that:
"The United Kingdom has unilaterally decided to put in place a restrictive policy whereby we have no plans at present to develop lethal autonomous robotics, but we do not intend to formalise that in a national moratorium."
It would seem straightforward to move from such a strong national position to a formalised national moratorium and a leading role within an international process to prohibit such weapons. The government did not provide any reason as to why a moratorium would be inappropriate, other than to speculate on the level of support amongst other countries for such a course of action.
Whilst significant issues still require more detailed elaboration, Article 36 believes this parliamentary debate has been very valuable in prompting reflection and Ministerial scrutiny of UK policy on fully autonomous weapons and narrowing down the areas on which further discussions should focus. It appears clear now that there will be scope for such discussions to take place with the UK and other states in the near future. Confirming the UK's willingness to participate in such discussions, the Minister noted that:
"…we stand ready to participate in the international debate and we agree that the convention on certain conventional weapons seems the right place for this important issue."
