Genre Plat
Genre Plat was a science fiction fanzine by Allyn Cadogan, William Gibson, John Park, and Susan Wood.
The first issue was published in the Spring of 1977 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, where all four editors were members of the British Columbia Science Fiction Association and Allyn was editor of BCSFAzine.
Issue 1 features "Up the Gutter From New Orleans" by Doug Barbour, "How I Joined Fandom and Learned To Love Its Outlaws" by Allyn Cadogan, "Them Or Us" by William Gibson, an article on Lord Of The Rings by M. L. Petard, "Tidepool" by Susan Wood, a 2-page comic collaboration between Ken Fletcher (Rune) and William Gibson, and an editorial called "Dangerously Amateur" by Allyn and William.
Issue 2 was published in Summer 1977. In its pages, Marta Randall writes about a music festival; Doug Barbour reviews two novels by Michael Bishop; Bill Beard reviews Star Wars and Rabid; Susan Wood writes about John Bangsund, editor of Scythrop; and John Bangsund writes "John W. Campbell and the Meat Market".
After this issue the other three editors leave, and Allyn Cadogan carries on publishing.

Scottsdale's Adapted Recreation Service center welcomed the community to its new multi-sensory environment room with an open house and formal dedication ceremony Thursday, April 9.
Multi-sensory rooms create a stimulating yet calming atmosphere that can offer therapeutic benefits to people of all ages and with a variety of disabilities, explained Deanna Zuppan, recreation supervisor for Scottsdale's Adapted Recreation Services.
For many people challenged by neurological issues, problems with fine motor skills, movement and self-awareness, or visual or speech impairment, the opportunity to interact with this space and have a direct impact on their environment can be very motivating and empowering, Ms. Zuppan said in an April 8 e-mail correspondence.
The room opened April 9 with an open house at the Adapted Recreation Services center, 8102 E. Jackrabbit Road in Scottsdale. Mayor Jim Lane formally dedicated the room at 6:30 p.m. that evening.
Scottsdale's multi-sensory room is divided into four sections, each with a specific function and purpose, describes a press release.
Social Scene lets visitors relax and mingle with friends in an interactive environment; Exploration Station is an area to touch, feel and explore a variety of objects; and Kinetic Korner uses energy to mold kinetic sand and uncover hidden objects, the press release continues.
In Dream Land, visitors can relax into an egg chair and spend some time away from the outside world. The egg chairs provide a tight and secure space that can be especially comforting to people with autism, described Kira Peters, one of the team members to help construct the room.
Scottsdale Leadership Team Possibilities 5.0 built the multi-sensory room as part of a team project, Ms. Peters explained in an April 7 phone interview.
"It was such a perfect opportunity," Ms. Peters remembered introducing the project idea to the rest of the team. "The space was there, there was some funding associated with it, all they needed was the manpower."
The team began working on the room the beginning of January, meeting once or twice a week to discuss planning and then spending Saturday building the multi-sensory environment.
Ms. Peters said, the room was being used by the recreation center for storage. Team Possibilities 5.0 started out with a blank room full of boxes and spare equipment.
New flooring, lighting and interactive activities turned the space from a storage room into a multi-sensory environment that can be rearranged to perform different tasks.
For instance, a bubble tube might turn red when visitors interact with it, but could be reprogrammed to do something completely different next month, Ms. Peters described.
The Adapted Recreation Services center is a hub for community members of all ages who have disabilities and may need accommodations to participate in city programs, Ms. Zuppan said.
The idea for a multi-sensory environment room came to her about seven years ago when the city first began renovation of the recreation center, remembered Ms. Zuppan. It took the help of a grant from the Pima-Salt River Maricopa Indian Community, a donation from Express Flooring, assistance from city Facilities Maintenance employees, and three months of manpower from the Scottsdale Leadership team to turn that idea into a reality.
The multi-sensory room hosts multiple scheduled programs throughout the week, and is available by reservation for organizations and therapists who provide services to the disabled community.
The multi-sensory room does not work for everyone, and is not open to the public, explained Ms. Peters. It's meant to be a guided experience.
Anyone interested in taking a tour of the recreation center, including the multi-sensory room, or in learning more about center programs and services, is invited to contact Ms. Zuppan at 480-312-2204 to schedule an appointment.

Hey guys, just another day at the office with the Facebook pulls.
This time around, I will detail 2 pulls almost simultaneously, of 2 girls having a boyfriend [but this post will only deal with the 1st pull].
With the 1st hot girl, the script was semi-usual: I came across her profile, checked to see that she was located on the same island, sent her a friend request with an accompanying-inbox message demonstrating high value and so forth.
Just as with 95% of the randoms whom I friend-request: she accepted within the matter of 45 minutes the most.
Now, this was back in April that I met her online and friend-requested her.
As in a handful of cases, I don't immediately pounce upon the girl for a meet-up or a # if I sense that she has tons of guys hitting her up based on her hotness…and if my fucket-list is already filled.
Hence, I added her since April and literally didn't inbox her again until July.
Again guys- if you've been following my recent posts, you will have noticed that this is part of my strategy where I allow massive chunks of time to pass while subtly popping up on the girl's radar through the periphery.
In other words, I would comment on every 1 in 4 of her statuses and photos [all cheeky stuff of course], essentially making my presence known but in a way that demonstrates that I won't chase, I won't stalk, I won't get creepy, neither shall I be in her inbox every second begging for her phone number.
Again- this sort of move separates me from the pack of clueless men [98% of them].
The girl will then wonder: "Why isn't this dude kissing my ass as every other guy does? Why isn't he inboxing me every second with some lame-ass shit and trying to get my #"?
Hence the story with this girl: I added and inboxed her [once] in April then again in July.
I didn't beg nor ask for her number, nor did I tell her how beautiful and hot she was as 99.9% of men would have done.
Let me just say that there's nothing intrinsically wrong with complimenting a woman on her beauty. Just that you don't want to make that your ice-breaker.
You don't want the girl to believe that the primary reason you'd contacted her was because of her looks.
As shallow as women are, they want to be appreciated for more than just their fucking looks!
Therefore, if your initial message reads something like, "Morning sweetheart. I think your very pretty. Can we talk"? Then you are doing it all wrong!
Now, I know what you're going to say: "But Kenny, you inbox girls telling them that they're beautiful and sexy, so what's the difference"!?
Sexy! But never beautiful!
Rare as it is, about 5-10% of my Facebook openers consist of me saying to the girl that she's sexy or hot.
However, that observation/compliment still is NOT the focal point of my message.
If I inbox a random on Facebook and tell her that she's hot, I am not just making that observation alone.
I will have tamper it down by affixing a high-value comment along with the compliment.
Here's an example of what the average guy does, and what I do [5-10% of the time].
Average guy [low-value approach]: "Good morning sweetie. You're very beautiful. Can we talk sometimes"?
Kenny [high-value approach]: "Hey Jamie, you're definitely hot. Anyway, I'm Kenny. Looking forward to catch up when the time is right. Later".
See the difference?
I'm not begging her for anything [convo, #, her time, etc]!
Thus, my approach [initial inbox] was high value, even though I told the girl that she's hot, while the average guy's was low value because he mainly focused on her looks while DLV'ing himself further by begging the girl something [conversation].
Therefore, it is not that you shouldn't tell a girl within your first message online that she's hot or pretty [though I advise you not to]. It's just that you shouldn't highlight her physical beauty [by solely commenting on that] while simultaneously begging her for something.
I mean, think of it this way. If someone is trying to get something out of you, what is the most common tactic he or she would use?
Sweet talk!
Telling a girl she's pretty, then in the same breath, try to get conversation or a # out of her, will often times inadvertently make you come off as a nefarious character with hidden agendas. Just as the vagrant or street-bum with a pleasant smile, holding the door for you in order to beg spare change.
That is how you come off when you compliment a hot girl, then immediately afterwards try to get her # or some of her time.
This is why strategically "Waiting" is so crucial!
In a recent article, I spoke about Strategic Patience.
Ok, so with this girl, I messaged her back in April [sounds redundant- I know].
Quite frankly- and this is what I've been speaking to- I didn't expect her to reply.
I was merely making an introduction, which doesn't require reciprocation.
Shoot and go!
Shoot and go!
Meanwhile, while commenting on her statuses [every 1 in 4], I was making my presence known without flooding her inbox like a chode.
July comes around [notice how long I waited], I inboxed her for the 2nd time. So that's 2 non-needy messages in 3 months. Nowhere in the world a girl would think such an approach is desperate.
As you can see from the FB screenshot with time stamp of the July message.
Again- she never replied.
No worries!
That was in July.
About 2 weeks ago [in September], I sent a 3rd message on a Friday as you can see in the same screenshot.
Again- it was a non-needy and non-complimenting comment.
I wasn't begging for a thing but merely making a trivial observation.
As I eluded to above, you want to appear as non-needy and unattached as possible.
Telling her she looks difference in every photo is a subtle dig which can mean a good or bad thing. Hence, it is hinting towards a girl's insecurities where she is now left to wonder if she looks good or bad based on my observation on her photo.
Women are very fucking vain!
Remind you- she never replied up to this point [since April] until now.
Such an innocuous observation was powerful enough to finally get her attention.
Her first ever reply in 6 months was an approval-seeking one where she asked if it was a bad thing that she always looks different in every pic.
In pick-up terminology: this psychological tactic is called qualifying, where the girl tries to make your grade instead of you trying to make hers.
Now here it is, that a super-hot chick who had ignored my messages for nearly 6 months, is now trying to prove herself to me in asking if it is a bad or good thing that she looks different in her photos.
What happened?
How did the switch flip, and why didn't she just continue to ignore me?
The fact that I never chased her for convo, I didn't flood her inbox with lame texts or at all, and I made her a bit self-conscious, therefore this raised my value in her eyes.
The FB chat continues [her texts in grey. Mines in blue].
The point isn't to chat for chatting sake.
My goal is always to hook up…meet up then hook up. Hence, I asked her about her weekends.
My pitch is always the same as of late [drink and snack date @ my hotel or guest house].
Always assume that the girl has a boyfriend- because the reality is- all girls have boyfriends! But that never deters them from hanging out and hooking up with me. 😉
She then called me through Messenger, which I thought was a mistake, so I hung up. We eventually set up the particulars of the meet-up.
We did manage to meet up over the weekend [Sunday] at my hotel as planned.
A great yet subtle trick I find that works like magic is to tell the girl [because of her relationship status] that it is much safer to dine in a private location [as a hotel] instead of a bar or restaurant where anyone can just walk in.
If you can't find a cheap hotel, then suggest somewhere else.
Nine in ten times, the girl will oblige.
In fact, I've yet to meet a girl over Facebook who declined to meet up at my hotel for drinks under the guise that it is safer.
Which girl who has a boyfriend would decline to meet in private instead of a bar where she could get caught by someone who knows her boyfriend?
Hence, it is a great tactic to getting girls to agree to meet up.
Truth be told: I didn't get to sleep with this girl. But that's besides the point.
What I want you to take away from this article are these main points.
*No begging for conversation, and no compliment unless it's done in a way that makes you seem un-fazed by her beauty.
*If a girl ignores your messages [on Facebook for instance], it may very well be a test to see whether you'll chode yourself out and go text crazy.
*Always keep things low invested. Structure your texts in a way that give off the vibe that you can take it or leave it.
At the end of the day, the girl sees every message she gets. But she screens out the ones that are low valued where the sender is either asking for something, i.e. number or conversation.

It's been a whole six months since I was last subscribed to a beauty box. Except the occasional Latest in Beauty box I've pretty much just gone without. I've had some serious green with envy moments whilst admiring them from a far, though. The last few boxes I've seen from Birchbox have had me gripped and wanting to subscribe, so when an email popped into my inbox offering me an unbelievable offer I quickly signed up, once again. I'm currently unsure of how long I will stay subscribed for, but with Valentine's Day just passing and my Birthday at the end of next month I thought I had earned a little beauty treat.
London Butterflies - £35 - This is a beautiful bath salt scrub with dead sea salt and sweet almond oil. Claims - The dead sea salt particles, with an essence of sea minerals, gently exfoliate the skin whilst sweet almond oil locks in moisture to keep the skin hydrated. The packaging looks very luxurious. I'm really looking forward to giving this ago and the fact it smells so good is a bonus. Full-size is 225g. I got 34g, making this worth just over £5.
Vita Coco Coconut Oil - £9.99 - Coconut oil is such an amazing product. It's very multifunctional and good for your insides as well as your outsides. Try it with baking, add to smoothies or even on your face for moisturising. Full-size is 500ml. My sample-size doesn't have a size on it, but it's a very good size and depending what you use it for could last quite sometime. I shall be using mine for beauty purposes and looking forward to seeing the goodness it does to my hair.
Caudalie Vinoperfect Radiance Serum - £45 - This is an oil free serum that helps even skin tone and gives a glowing complexion. It's a great serum for dry skin, something I've suffered a little with due to the constant changing weather. Full-size is 30ml. My sample-size is 10ml, which doesn't seem a lot but like most serums a little goes a long way. This sample is worth £15.
Electric Hair Hydrate Shampoo - £17.50 - I'm more than happy to receive a sample-sized shampoo in my box. I go away a good few times a year and this little bottle will come in handy. The hydrate shampoo is packed with moisture-rich ingredients that retain hydration and add a beautiful, healthy looking shine. My hair likes to fail me, sometimes, so the added shine and hydration is welcome. Full-size is 250ml. My bottle is 30ml and worth a little over £2.
The Balm Stainiac in Beauty Queen - £10 - This is a two-in-one hint of tint for cheeks and lips. It's quite a small sample with 1.2ml of product, but a little does go a long way and it's the perfect size for throwing in your handbag. I'm a little wary of using cheek tints and will definitely be sticking to using this on the lips. I tried it on my hand and it refuses to budge with a wipe. It's not crazy pigmented but adds a nice hint of colour.
Eyeko Fat Eye Stick - £16.00 - I really like Eyeko and have owned a couple of products from their lines so I was more than happy to get a fat eye stick in my box. This is a dark brown toned gold with a hint of green to it and plenty of shimmer. The stick can also be pushed up to reveal more product. I'm a huge fan of chubby eye sticks, they are quick and easy to use when in a rush and the looks that can be created are minimal to do. This is worth just over £5 with the full-size product coming in a set of 3.
Birchbox had an amazing offer on, and part of the reason for me subscribing was the fact that they were offering me 3 deluxe Benefit samples for doing so, all of which I've never tried. I got the Creaseless Cream Shadow in R.S.V.P, They're Real! Remover and They're Real! Push-up Liner.
This months box was really impressive and the treats for subscribing again were lovely. I'll definitely be reviewing many of these in weeks to come. In the mean time, if you would like to subscribe you can do so by clicking the link > here. In doing so you will automatically get £5 to spend in the Birchbox e-shop. Not only that, in the March box you get to choose 1 of 3 Benefit mascara's; including the new Roller Lash.

MicroStrategy has won an appeals court ruling in a legal dispute concerning former employees who went to work for rival business intelligence vendor Business Objects.
MicroStrategy alleged that the employees used confidential company information to solicit customers for Business Objects. The appeals court determined that a "non-solicitation" clause in MicroStrategy's employment contract was valid and non-ambiguous, and that it prohibited the employees from taking any action that "drives MicroStrategy customers away" from its products, MicroStrategy said at the hearing.
The ruling, from the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, reversed a lower court decision that found the non-solicitation clause invalid. The case now goes back to the lower court for further proceedings.
It's the latest example of the problems vendors can face when they hire staff from rivals. Microsoft and Google are in the midst of a dispute over Google's hiring of a former Microsoft employee, Kai-Fu Lee, to run its research and development efforts in China. Microsoft claims the hiring violates a non-competition clause in Lee's contract. Google disagrees.
Another non-competition case that gained notoriety is that of former Motorola executive Mike Zafirovski, who was hired by Nortel Networks and had to forfeit most of a payout given when he left Mororola. He agreed not to poach any Motorola employees from Nortel as part of a settlement between Motorola and Nortel over his hiring.
As part of the settlement, Zafirovski's communications with certain unnamed companies — some of whom are Motorola competitors — are limited and limits are also placed on Zafirovski's ability to advise Nortel on "competitive strategy or analysis relating to Motorola".
Initially, Motorola had sought to block Zafirovski's appointment altogether for two years.
The ruling between Business Objects and MicroStrategy is part of a broader, ongoing legal dispute that goes back to 2001 and involves several patent infringement claims made by both companies.
MicroStrategy says it has filed an additional patent infringement suit against Business Objects. That case, in the US District Court for the District of Delaware, is expected to go to trial in May, MicroStrategy says. It is seeking monetary damages and an injunction.
Business Objects had no immediate comment.

Fremantle Stuff > West End > Henry St
North to south. Click on any image to see a larger version.
Henry Street was named after Lt John Henry, of HMS Challenger. Mouat, Henry and Pakenham Sts, in that order, are the 'lieutenant streets' (my coinage) being named respectively after the first, second, and third lieutentants on board Capt Fremantle's ship: J.A. Mouat, John Henry, and H. Pakenham. Mt Henry is also named after John Henry. The street may possibly have been called 'Regent St' in the early days of the Colony:
Charles Smith had Sydney pork, Irish butter and Van Diemen's Land hams as well as port, sherry and bottles of claret for 25s a dozen. Smith regularly gave his address as Regent Street. As he owned lot 79 on the western side of today's Henry Street it suggests that Henry Street had an earlier name. Steve Errington 2017, 'Fremantle 1829-1832: an illustrated history', Fremantle Studies, 9: 15-29.
Number 1 Henry St is currently a NDU staff car park. Next to it is this new building of NDU's School of Health Sciences at 35(?) Phillimore St on the corner with Henry St.
At the corner of Phillimore St, no. 2 Henry St still has the curved facade of the Falk Building tho the interior - and that of several other buildings on a large site bounded by Phillimore, Henry, and Pakenham Streets - was completely rebuilt for the occupation of various commonwealth government departments - which have since moved on. At least this part of the building (if not all of 'it') is apparently now called Customs House, as that's what the sign on the building says. The facade is apparently also known as that of the Seppelts and also of the ACTA Building. There is a proposal current for a new building inside the facade.
The next bit of Customs House.
Another bit.
And another. This bit has a date, 1986, and a sign: Australian Customs House Store.
The NDU carpark at 1 Henry St, where the magnificent Lodge's Hotel once stood (probably the Castle Hotel before that) until the Fremantle Workers Club had it demolished in 1958 for a carpark for its members. The Club also proposed a new building on the site, but it did not eventuate, and the Club later sold the land to NDU.
The buildings at 3-5 Henry St, collectively known as Quartermaine's Building, 1903 and 1936, are used as Power Labs office, and dwellings. The image shows the lane which is part of 5 Henry St but I'm guessing is shared by both buildings. The site extends at the rear behind part of the Workers Club building.
The building at 5 Henry St is apparently a dwelling.
The Lance Holt School building at 10 Henry St was built in 1892, and later was the Federal Coffee Palace (a hotel without a liquor license). The warehouse and offices were apparently built for Philip Webster, and were later occupied by various tenants until the City bought it in 1972. The School has occupied it since 1974 and owned it since 1985.
The Fremantle Workers Club was at 7-9 Henry St 1956-2015. The site is currently (2016) planned to be a four-storey apartment building, keeping the facade.
At let's say 18 Henry St is this empty warehouse in temporary use for parking. All of these buildings are due for redevelopment, and you can see the sign to that effect. This may be part of the development proposed for the Marich Building, qv.
Note that the date is 2004. Parnell's phone number is so old it doesn't have the 9 at the front - and I believe that company has ceased trading. This is part of the development proposed for the Marich Building, qv.
The proposed redevelopment applies to all of this and includes the building on the corner with High St, all of which is known as the Marich Building and has the address 36-44 High St. At the moment there's an Asian imports store on that corner, with Rialto Apartments next door. The imports store currently has a closing down sign, so maybe something's going to happen soon. One of those derelict shopfronts in this photo, at 20 and 22 Henry St, was Southside Tattoos—maybe both. After the laneway to the right of the photo, there are two more previous shopfronts, which would have been 24 and 26 Henry St.
This building was at 24 Henry St in 1914. (See the photo above for the same part of the street 100 years later.) The photo is #5194 in the Fremantle History Collection. The accompanying text is as follows.
Marich Building, c1897, 36-44 High St, on the northeast corner of High and Henry St, has been proposed for redevelopment since before 2006, when an application to build a 5-storey hotel/apartment complex at the rear was refused. The Rialto Apartments door is at 44, and they presumably occupy all of the upper floor. The Royal Hotel was on this site in 1844. The original town lot numbers were 80/81.
Orient Hotel, on the corner of Henry and High Streets. The earliest hotel on the site, from 1849, was the Commercial, later the Emerald Isle Hotel—where, in 1876, the Catalpa incident was planned: the escape of six Fenians, including John Boyle O'Reilly, from Fremantle Prison. That hotel was demolished in 1903, after which what is now the magnificent Orient Hotel was built. It was renovated in 1995, and was closed in 2014 for further renovations. In 2015 the owners were seeking a new lessee.
The Orient Hotel looks down on these, the Adelec Buildings, 28-36 High St, originally known as Fothergill's Building.
On the SE corner of Henry and High Sts is the Union Stores building, designed by architect Herbert Nathaniel Davis for J & W Bateman, and formerly the largest hardware store in Fremantle, Bateman's Hardware.

Massenbach* Washington Post: "Rex Tillerson's firing was necessary to national security"
Opinions: ."With quick work staffing up at State, the country will have made a complete break with the disastrous policies of the Obama years. It was a sudden and somewhat rough change, but necessary to national security. Now if the Senate Democrats who have stalled so many appointees charged with protecting the nation's defenses and interests will cooperate with Senate Republicans, the hard work of opposing an increasingly ascendant China and an increasingly reckless Russia can accelerate."
By Hugh HewittMarch 13 at 7:52 PM
On my first show for MSNBC last June, I sat down at Langley with CIA Director Mike Pompeo, now President Trump's nominee for secretary of state. A quick read of the transcript will not only explain the sudden change at Foggy Bottom but also should reassure any fair-minded person that a much-needed infusion of talent and presidential trust is on the way.
It's been hard to find anyone in the White House to say a bad word about the character or personality of Rex Tillerson or a good word about his leadership at State. The friction between the White House personnel shop and Tillerson's chief of staff, Margaret Peterlin, is the worst-kept secret inside the Beltway, and the glacial pace of staffing up the political ranks has angered national security conservatives. Those foreign policy wonks tend to admire the director of policy planning, Brian Hook, but look in vain around the department for anyone else with anything resembling a theory of the world on which to operate the world's link to the United States.
Other key jobs remain unfilled, including the undersecretary for arms control and international security affairs and the U.S. representative to the U.N. mission in Geneva; both jobs have much to do with holding Iran to account to the deal struck under the Obama administration. The undersecretary for management is another empty office, even though veterans of the bureaucracy from past Republican presidents remain available.
Tillerson has also failed to push nominees for crucial ambassador posts, such as Richard Grenell as ambassador to Germany, the most important non-nuclear power in the world. Other important embassies, such as those in South Korea, Turkey and South Africa, lack even a nominee, though numerous and very qualified candidates abound. The paperwork gridlock of an isolated and uninfluential secretary of state brought the conservative pro-Trumpers and career State Department staff together in agreement that the department was a massive shipwreck.
It is no accident that Trump used the word "energy"when he spoke approvingly of his new nominee. Pompeo will work quickly and decisively with key allies such as Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) in the Senate to reinvigorate the department. First in his class at West Point and an editor of the Harvard Law Review, Pompeo got key experience in the ways of the Washington swamp at the law firm Williams & Connolly before he went as far as possible from it to Wichita to launch a successful career in business and then Congress.
Most importantly, Pompeo agrees with Trump's priorities and understands that his job is to serve Trump's agenda, not create one of his own. When he says to a counterpart, "The president believes . . . ," Pompeo will himself be believed. Like George Shultz with President Ronald Reagan and Henry Kissinger with President Richard Nixon, the boss needs a trusted right arm, not a distant figure of uncertain commitment to core presidential goals.

- Baku protesters demand free elections
As reported by the Popular Front Party of Azerbaijan (PFPA), some 10,000 people took part in the rally against the presidential election in Azerbaijan. The protesters have stated that the authorities had initiated early election in order to make them non-alternative.
- Armenian opposition demands to remove President Serzh Sargsyan from power
About 300 people gathered at a rally in Yerevan demanding to remove Serzh Sargsyan from power and release political prisoners.
– Nagorno-Karabakh accuses Azerbaijan of 220 cases of shelling per week
In the period from March 4 to 10, the Azerbaijani armed forces more than 2500 times shelled the positions of the Defence Army, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) for Nagorno-Karabakh reported.
- Death of a military in Syria caused questions from Ingush social network users
The funeral of Ramzan Geroev, who perished in the crash of a Russian military aircraft in Syria, was held today in Ingushetia. Internet users are negative to the participation of Ingush servicemen in the Middle East conflict.

(,,,Given its strategic position, Russia has the capacity to play a key role in providing a global commons. Moscow is a particularly important player in the field of international security. In the global struggle against international terrorism, for instance, Russia can claim not only high moral authority but also the necessary political and military tools. In the Middle East, Russia arguably remains the single global player which enjoys an active dialogue and cooperation with all of the parties involved in the numerous conflicts in the region. There are numerous other examples that demonstrate Russia's active role in multilateral diplomacy, one that is becoming ever more essential for resolving regional and global security issues such as the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, the fight against illicit drug trafficking, confronting cyber threats and many others.
On a more general note, it is becoming increasingly evident that the decline of global and regional governance that the world has been witnessing for at least the last 20 years contains the seeds of growing threats to all responsible actors in world politics with no exceptions. The universal understanding of this basic reality must be transformed into specific proposals, roadmaps and actions. It is in Russia's interest to utilize its capacities and comparative advantages to play a central role in restoring and further enhancing global governance.)

(…Washington is not looking for compromises. The United States sees negotiations with North Korea purely as a discussion of the terms of Pyongyang's capitulation and the surrender of its nuclear trump card….)
- Russia Is Offering an Olive Branch, Not Flaunting Nuclear Weapons
March 6, 2018 – Igor Ivanov – President of the Russian International Affairs Council (RIAC), Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation (1998–2004).
(…And this is not mere rhetoric. Has Russia not always stressed its interest in preserving the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF Treaty), extending the New START Treaty, and boosting nuclear non-proliferation? Has Moscow ever questioned the compliance of all parties concerned with the multilateral agreement on the Iranian nuclear issue? Is Moscow threatening unilateral military action on the Korean Peninsula?
It is important that the world clearly hears and properly understands the signal coming from Moscow. Today, the world is undergoing a profound crisis of the entire global security system. If anyone hopes to use the instability and unpredictability of global politics in their unilateral interests, it will only exacerbate the crisis with all that it entails, including consequences for those very actors who are ready to fan this instability and unpredictability. The international community has already lost enough time since the end of the Cold War.
Moscow is proposing another path: to immediately launch talks on creating a new security system that corresponds to today's reality. To do this, it is first necessary to abandon outdated stereotypes and simplistic ideas about one's own infallibility and unlimited authority.
A new, single and indivisible world order may arise only as a result of joint efforts and consideration of the interests of all states, in the East and in the West, large and small, developed and developing.
Russia hopes that its partners will properly understand this signal.)

Freudenberg-Pilster* politico: Larry Kudlow will be the next director of the National Economic Council
- succeeding Gary Cohn as President Donald Trump's top economic adviser –
It will be the latest high profile job for Kudlow, who served as an economist at the New York Federal Reserve and at the Office of Management and Budget under Reagan before a career on Wall Street including serving as chief economist at Bear Stearns.
About Larry Kudlow:" In 1970, while he was still a Democrat, Kudlow joined Joseph Duffey's "New Politics" senatorial campaign in Connecticut. Duffey was a leading anti-war politician during the Vietnam war era. Kudlow, working with Yale University student Bill Clinton as well as many other rising young Democratic students, was known as a "brilliant" district coordinator.[5] Kudlow worked on the U.S. Senate campaign of Joseph Duffey, along with Bill Clinton, John Podesta, and Michael Medved, another future conservative, and in 1976, he worked on the U.S. Senate campaign of Daniel Patrick Moynihan, along with Tim Russert, against Conservative Party incumbent James L. Buckley, brother of William F. Buckley, Jr.[6]
Kudlow began his career as a staff economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, taking a position "as a junior economist in a job where a master's degree wasn't required."[5] He worked in a division of that bank that handled open market operations.
During the first term of the Reagan administration (1981–1985), Kudlow was associate director for economics and planning in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), a part of the Executive Office of the President. While he worked at the OMB, Kudlow was also an advisory committee member of the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, more commonly known as Freddie Mac.[citation needed] In April 2005, New York Governor George Pataki included Kudlow in a six-member state tax commission……
In December 2016, President-elect Donald Trump was rumored to be considering Kudlow for the position as chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers.[15][16]
In March 2018, President Donald Trump appointed Kudlow to be Director of the National Economic Council, succeeding Gary Cohn.[17]
Politics: From Vision to Action
Barandat* – A SURVEY OF THE NEAR EAST: IMPLICATIONS FOR U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY –
Featuring David M. Cattler
Stein Counterterrorism Lecture
March 13, 2018
Earlier today, The Washington Institute hosted a Policy Forum with David Cattler as part of its long-running Stein Counterterrorism Lecture Series. Cattler serves as National Intelligence Manager for the Near East in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. The following are his prepared remarks.
As the National Intelligence Manager for the Near East, I share this same goal. I serve as Director of National Intelligence Coats' principal advisor on this critical region. Every day, the "NIM-Near East" team works to ensure that our partners and consumers in the White House and across the interagency have access to the best possible intelligence.
We do this by directly supporting the development and implementation of national policies and strategies. We also integrate the intelligence community—managing and guiding all aspects of the intelligence cycle. This means (1) working with policymakers to identify and articulate their needs; (2) managing and directing collection; (3) assessing the quality of the Intelligence Community's analysis; (4) ensuring that our products—information and assessments—reach consumers, often at "the speed of war"; and (5) helping determine and mitigate risk by providing unvarnished assessments of what intelligence we can and can't do to illuminate a situation.
This also means setting expectations and balancing demands for increased emphasis in emerging hotspots while ensuring we have adequate coverage in areas of ongoing concern. This is particularly important in the Near East, where there is an abundance of both, representing some of the hardest choices facing U.S. policymakers. Matt and I were just talking about the fact that I could easily fill my allotted time by discussing just one of the fourteen countries my team covers, not to mention the Palestinian territories.
What I would like to do is provide an overview of key political, security, and humanitarian developments in the Near East, and then use the balance of our time to answer questions. But let me emphasize two initial points. First, given the open nature of this forum, some of my responses may be limited due to classification considerations. Second, while I previously served as a policymaker at the White House, my current position is in the IC. As such, I will probably need to defer any policy questions that are not intelligence related.
Let's begin with the so-called "Islamic State." Due to the tremendous efforts and sacrifices of the U.S.-led coalition, ISIS has lost more than 98 percent of the territory it once controlled in Iraq and Syria. It has lost thousands of its fighters and is a fraction of its former self. The myth of its "caliphate" has been exposed. However, as Secretary of Defense Mattis has emphasized, "the fight is not over." U.S.-assisted forces are continuing to clear the remaining pockets under ISIS control. But at least in Iraq and Syria, the group's trajectory is headed downward.
Given this, can we expect a "peace dividend?" What are the implications of ISIS's strategic defeat as a quasi-conventional force? (continued / see attachment)
*Massenbach's Recommendation*
The Geopolitics of Britain
By George Friedman
The fundamental problem for Britain has always been continental Europe. The danger to Britain was that a single, powerful entity would arise that could do two things. First, it could ally with the Scottish elite to wage war against England on land. Second, it could build a naval force that could defeat the British navy and land an invading force along the English shore of the Channel. The Romans did this, as did the Normans.
Successive powers arose in Europe that saw an opportunity to defeat England and later Britain. The Spaniards attempted an invasion in the 16th century; the French in the 19th century; the Germans in the 20th century. Each was defeated by treacherous waters and the Royal Navy. Many other potential invasions were never launched because the navies didn't exist. They didn't exist because of the British grand strategy, the core of which was that the nearest landmass, continental Europe, would always place Britain at a demographic disadvantage in a war. The population of Europe was the base of armies vastly larger than that which Britain could field. Therefore, the central strategy was to prevent such a force from landing in Britain.
Building a naval force able to challenge the British was enormously expensive. Only a very wealthy country could afford it, but very wealthy countries lacked the appetite. Other countries, seeking to increase their wealth, competed with other aspiring countries, diverting resources to land-based forces and making it impossible to build navies. The fact that the continent was fragmented first between kings and emperors, and later between nation-states, was Britain's primary line of defense. The wealthiest nations were constantly fending off attacks from neighbors, while the poorer countries plotted strategies for enhancing their position through war. As a result, there were a succession of great continental powers: Spain, the Netherlands, France and Germany. None was strong enough for long enough to divert resources to taking Britain.
The Grand Strategy
British grand strategy, therefore, is to maintain a large naval force, but beyond that, to do what it can on the European continent to discourage hegemony on the mainland by preventing coalitions from forming, or by fomenting rivalries. In other words, the British grand strategy was constant involvement on the European continent, with the primary goal of diverting any nation focusing on naval development. These actions could involve trade policy, supporting various dynasties or nations, using the ability to blockade, or inserting limited ground forces to support a coalition of forces. British strategy was an endless kaleidoscope of tactics, constantly shifting relationships and actions designed to secure the homeland by maintaining insecurity on the continent. Britain didn't create insecurity. That was built into the continental geopolitical system. Britain was successful at taking advantage of and nurturing the insecurity that was already there. Britain was always part of Europe, as for example its participation in the Napoleonic wars and the Congress of Vienna. At the same time, it stood apart from Europe because its geography gave Britain another base on which to stand.
The British Empire came into being as a byproduct of this grand strategy. The various imperial naval powers that came into existence were undermined not by naval force but by land conflicts. Spain, the Netherlands and France all developed navies able to carve out empires. But diversions on the continent limited their ability to expand those empires, and drained their ability to exploit them effectively. The British, united after the early 18th century and impervious to European manipulation, were able to sustain an imperial enterprise that constantly expanded and enriched Britain.
The reality of Europe also facilitated British leadership in the Industrial Revolution. Continental manpower, resources and inventiveness were no less than those of the British. But the British had far greater security for their enterprises, less diversion to military production, and a dynamic and growing empire to support industrialization. As a result, Britain developed another powerful tool for managing the continent: exports of manufactured goods and technologies.
What ultimately undermined the British grand strategy was the unification of Germany and the rise of the United States. German unification created an industrial force that could rival Britain commercially and dominate the continent militarily. In World War I, Britain followed a strategy that flowed from its grand strategy, intervening with ground forces to block Germany from imposing a continental hegemony. The cost to Britain far outweighed expectations. The grand strategy failed Britain by forcing it into a vast land war on the continent, taking away the option of selective involvement and manipulation. Britain had to use main force, which negated its geographic advantage.
Also weakening Britain was the emergence of the United States as a power that could field a million men in Europe and create a naval force that was second only to Britain's. The truce that ended World War I did not end Britain's problems; it merely delayed them. Within two decades, a re-emergent Germany once again challenged for European hegemony, and Britain's survival become dependent on the intervention of the United States. In exchange for U.S. support in World War II, Britain all but gave up its empire when it was forced to abandon almost all of its naval bases in the Western Hemisphere in exchange for lend-lease. Having been trapped twice in the one thing she could not do — a European land war — Britain emerged hostage to the United States, now a junior member of its anti-Soviet coalition.
Crafting a New Strategy
The United States then took on the British role on a global basis. Britain was no longer the chess master, but a piece on the board — an important piece, but one that had lost its room for maneuver. Britain had to craft a new grand strategy out of the wreckage of the old. There was, however, a core that remained in place, which was the doctrine of the balance of power. Now, instead of being the major balancing power among other nations, Britain sought to balance its own power between two more powerful entities: the United States and the Soviet Union.
Because of its new position, Britain did not have the option of isolation. Its economic system required access to markets and products, and its strategic position required leverage on the European continent. So in 1973, Britain joined the European Economic Community, and in 1991 agreed to join the European Union. Britain always resisted full integration into the EU, however.
In the era after the collapse of the Soviet Union, there were two poles for British strategy: Europe and the United States. Total dependence on either one could lead to disaster. Europe was led by its old nemesis Germany. The United States was a nemesis as well. Only by having relations with both could Britain hope to retain room for its own maneuver. The two wanted different things. The EU wanted a defined economic relationship with elements of a political one. The United States was open to economic relationship but particularly wanted British participation in its wars. Britain could satisfy both, cling to both poles and thereby find its own space.
The British Dilemma
The problem that Britain faces now is a European Union that doesn't resemble what the founders imagined, or what existed 10 years ago. Where it had been seen as becoming a pillar of the international system along with the United States, it has morphed into political discord and uncertainty. The United States also has internal problems that were unexpected, but not of the consequence of Europe's
Britain's problem now is being drawn too deeply into dependency on the United States. Such dependency on any country is rarely in a nation's interest. What Brexit represents is Britain's distrust of the viability of the European system and a desire to operate independently of it. That is difficult for Britain to do, so the United States is the pole that attracts, if total independence of all coalitions is not an option — which it is not.
This is the British dilemma. The German geopolitical imperative for expansion and the American need to dominate the North Atlantic have taken the old geopolitical reality and radically shifted its grand strategy.
Europe is moving toward its historic disunity and class hostility. But Britain is not in a position to manipulate that for its own security. The North Atlantic is no longer Britain's path to an empire. Depending on Europe is difficult. Relying on the United States is possible, but the U.S. is likely to once again exact a price. What that price is, however, is unclear. The only other alternative is for Britain to try to lead an alternative economic block out of the train wreck of Europe. As Europe's second-largest economy, this is not an impossibility.
But in the end, Britain is an island, and Scotland is restless. The Germans are united and not altogether predictable. The U.S. is both friendly and avaricious, and its tastes are fickle. Finding a balance between Europe, however fragmented, and the United States might seem to be best option, but geopolitics tends to force unexpected choices on countries. Who in 1900 would have thought that Britain would be facing the choice it is facing today. Only those who understood what Germany was and what the United States was going to become.

The pansy or pansy violets are a large group of hybrid plants cultivated as garden flowers. Pansies are derived from Viola species Viola tricolor hybridized with other viola species, these hybrids are referred to as Viola × wittrockiana[1] or less commonly Viola tricolor hortensis. The name "pansy" also appears as part of the common name for other Viola species that are wildflowers in Europe. Some unrelated species, such as the Pansy Monkeyflower, also have "pansy" in their name.
Although early experimental crosses using the common un-colored "Johnny-jump-up" or "Pied Heart's-Ease" (Viola tricolor) a pretty weed of grain fields and hedgerows, were also being made by William Richard, gardener to Lady Mary Elizabeth Bennet (1785–1861),[2] daughter of the Earl of Tankerville, at Walton-on-Thames.[3] The modern garden pansy had its origin in the Iver, Buckinghamshire, estate of James, Lord Gambier, whose gardener William Thompson began about 1813[4] crossing various viola species with Viola tricolor. A yellow viola, V. lutea, and a wide-petalled pale yellow species of Russian origin, V. altaica[5] were among the crosses that began the new hybrids, today classed as Viola x Wittrockiana. A round flower of overlapping petals was an early aim of Robinson's trials; in the late 1830s he found a chance sport that no longer had narrow nectar guides of dark color on the petals but a broad dark blotch on the petals, which came to be called the "face." Developed in Gambier's garden and released to the public in 1839 with the name "Medora," this pansy and its progeny, including "Victoria," rapidly became popular with gardeners and breeders throughout Europe.

Programming a Computer for Playing Chess
1950. SHANNON, Claude. Programming a Computer for Playing Chess. IN: The Philosophical Magazine. Vol. XLI. Seventh Series. January-December 1950. Pages 256-75. London: Taylor & Francis, 1950. Octavo, modern three quarter crushed morocco gilt, raised bands. $2500.First publication of the first technical paper on programming computers to play chess, in which Claude Shannon outlines the problems involved and proposes innovative solutions."Since the mid-1940s, scientists had aimed to create a thinking machine, an apparatus that could compete with or even surpass the human brain in logical operations, pattern recognition, problem solving and even language. Chess was found to be a useful testing ground because of its combination of simple rules and mind-bending complexity… Shannon was fascinated by chess' potential in the pursuit of what he called 'mechanized thinking.' But he became convinced that computer chess and other AI pursuits should not be modeled on human thought… Computers, at least as they were understood then, could calculate very quickly, following programmed instructions. This particular strength—and limitation—of computers suggested a different route for AI, a new sort of quasi-intelligence based on mathematical computation. Chess would be a central proving ground for this new type of intelligence. Theoretically, at least, the game could be fully converted into one long mathematical formula" (Shenk, 201, 211). In this, the first technical paper on computer chess, Shannon "did not present a particular chess program, but discussed many of the basic problems involved… Shannon's paper is chiefly remembered for the specific answers he proposed" (Origins of Cyberspace 882). A fine copy.

Australia ranked one in cyberbullying
IN A shock to parents, Australia has been ranked number one for bullying on social networks with one in four children bullied online, new figures show.
And more alarmingly is the fact 80 per cent of Australian children under 10 are now active on social networks.
Anti-bullying expert John Caldwell says the statistics are alarming and warns that parental monitoring may not be enough.
"Many parents monitor their children's use of the internet but you simply can't be everywhere, particularly if your child is going online via a mobile," Mr Caldwell said.
"Kids are generally more tech-savvy than adults, and more capable of controlling technology and platforms than their parents via privacy settings and hiding browser history.
"It's important to note too that while the most popular social platforms do require users to be at least 13-years-old, research shows close of half of teenagers who use networking sites admit to lying about their age.
"Kids are smart and if they don't want you to know what they're up to, generally, they'll find a way."
Mr Caldwell said the most recent ACMA report, Like Post Share, showed while parents were very aware of the need for cybersafety with older children, there was a significant gap in teaching kids under 10 how to protect themselves online.
"ACMA reports the percentage of Australian eight- to nine-year olds who rate the internet as 'very important' in their lives has doubled since 2009," Mr Caldwell said.
"Up to 35 per cent of eight to 11-year-olds have their own mobile phone, rising to 94 per cent of 16 to 17-year-olds.
"Children and young people are increasingly gaining access to the internet via their mobiles yet fewer eight to 11-year-olds have discussed cybersafety with their parents."
The warning to parents comes after a 14-year-old British girl claimed her own life after months of bullying on social networks.

text: Hi, got my nexus one a week ago, and I love it, but have a few questions about it and some apps. 1. A lot of times the screen is unresponsive in the unlock screen. Most of the time simply hitting the lock button twice to refresh the screen works, but a few times I have had to restart (a difficult thing to do when the screen is nonresponsive). Is this normal glitchiness or should I seek a replacement before I invest too much time in customizing the phone? 2. Along the same lines as above, is there a way to turn off the phone with hard buttons only. As it took me about 10 minutes the times the screen was non-responsive and would work for a sporadically for a few seconds where I could attempt to hit the power down button. 3. Just wondering if you can configure Astro file manager to asscociate different extensions with different apps (e.g. open .djvu in djvudroid). Thanks a lot!

For those in the profession where tips are highly depended upon, do you have any crazy stories where you've bent over backwards only to receive a lousy tip or vice versa?

Graphic Designer Chris Moore Says MCCC Education Transferred Well to The Workplace
Chris Moore, third from left, returned to the Gallery at
for the opening of "MCCC Arts at Fifty." He is pictured with
faculty members, from left, Yevgeniy Fiks (Visual Arts),
Steve Voorhees (Television), and Michael Dalton (Photography).
West Windsor, N.J. – Graphic Designer Chris Moore '10 (A.A.S., Visual Arts) gives top grades to his first alma mater, Mercer County Community College (MCCC).
"Mercer gave me a solid foundation on which to build my career," Moore said during a recent visit to the college for the opening reception of "MCCC Arts at Fifty" at the Gallery. "I have really used the skills I developed at Mercer. Much of what I do is still based on what I learned there."
After graduating from MCCC in 2010, Moore transferred to Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University, where he pursued a double major, earning bachelor's degrees in Fine Arts and Anthropology in 2013.
"Once I transferred to a big university, I realized how much I took for granted at Mercer. Practically every Mercer professor I had exceeded my expectations. They are at Mercer to teach. It's clearly a labor of love for them," he said, adding that because of small class sizes and instructors' availability outside the classroom, the relationships he developed with faculty members were very much like mentorships.
"I had a solid portfolio of work by the time I graduated," he said.
After college, Moore worked for several firms as a graphic designer. He is currently employed as an in-house designer for Mistras Group, a global engineering firm with offices in Princeton Junction.
Among Moore's varied projects have been newsletter designs, catalogs, package designs, social media content, trade show displays and more. He also does freelance work.
Moore actually stayed at Mercer a little longer than originally intended. After completing credits for his degree in Advertising/Graphic Design, he began to concentrate on photography. "I just didn't want to stop taking classes that appealed to me," he said.
Especially in his higher level classes, Moore observed that he and his fellow designers became a tight-knit group. "The work of my peers was outstanding," he said. "It made me want to get better in every way."
More about Chris and his work can be found at www.ChrisMoore.Design.

No immediate end to water-cuts in Mumbai: BMC
Even as the Tulsi and Modak Sagar lakes overflowed, the Brihanmumhai Municipal Corporation today ruled out an immediate end to water-cuts in the metropolis.mumbai Updated: Jul 27, 2010 19:34 IST
Even as the Tulsi and Modak Sagar lakes overflowed, the Brihanmumhai Municipal Corporation today ruled out an immediate end to water-cuts in the metropolis.
According to the data available with the hydraulic department, Tulsi lake reached its mark of 139.18 m and overflowed at 6 am today while Modak Sagar lake crossed its 163.04 m mark and overflowed at 8 am this morning.
"It is good sign that lakes are overflowing but it would be early to withdraw water cuts. The cuts will remain till August 15 as Bhatsa, which is the largest supplier, has reached a mark of 121.70 against its actual limit of 142.07 m.," a civic official from the Hydraulic Department said.
Even other lakes like Upper Vaitarna and Vihar have not reached their actual limit, the official said.
Presently, all the six lakes together have 5,95,419 million litres of water compared to 6,75,267 million litres of water at the same time last year.
"We are hoping for incessant rainfall in the catchments areas so that there is some sufficient amount of water in all the six lakes by August 15," the official said.
According to the data, Upper Vaitarna Lake has 597.02 m of water against its limit of 603.51 m and Vihar Lake has 77.69 m against its limit of 80.12 m.

Official Launce of New SFT Midwest Blog
Welcome to the official launch of the SFT Midwest Blog. This is a new forum where SFT members from across the Midwest can come together to share successes, discuss strategy, and build a stronger community in Midwest working for a Free Tibet.
I encourage all chapters to post any events or actions they have to the blog so that everyone else in the region can read about and be inspired by your successes. I'll also be posting important information here relating to SFT campaigns, days, and weeks of action. As more people start using the blog this will become the place to be to get the scoop on SFT in the Midwest.
Since the launch of this blog corresponds with the 56th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, I urge you to take a moment today and do something for Tibet, and if you're group held another action in honor of Human Rights Day then email me the details at firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll post it to the blog. I will take a little while, but soon each chapter will be able to post their own events. Until then, email me and I'll be happy to post for you.
Please take a moment today to contact the Permanent Mission of the People's Republic of China to the United Nations (contact information is included below) and raise the issue of human rights in Tibet. In particular ask for the immediate release of Tenzin Delek Rinpoche and for Phuntsog Nyidron to be allowed to seek medical treatment outside of China. Our actions will help ensure that one day soon Tibetans inside of Tibet will know what it feels like to enjoy real freedom and human rights.
Permanent Mission of the People's Republic of China to the United Nations:
When you call, please say that you would like to leave a message for Ambassador Wang Guangya.
Secretary of Permanent Representative Wang Guangya: (1) 212-655-6191

Tuesdays suck. In fact I'd go so far as to say that they are the suckiest day of the week. Sure Mondays are no fun, but at least you've still got some of the weekend high going. Wednesdays, at least you're halfway through the work week. It's those Tuesdays that seem to have the least hope and joy. So let's make them more fun and productive.
Every week join me in doing a sketch for Tuesday. There is no theme. The point is to show us what you're working on, what just happened to come off the top of your head, to show our work without the pressure of presenting a finished masterpiece.
It's a chance to exhibit our work process and to give each of us incentive to consistently produce new work.
There's a Flickr Pool where we can all upload 1-2 pieces a week for Tuesday. Fun? Fun!
