Preventing War and Disorder: "Preventive Diplomacy" Emulates Public-Health Strategies
Article excerpt
"Preventive diplomacy" emulates public-health strategies.
Diplomacy, like health care, is focusing increasingly on prevention rather than treatment. The diplomats want to stop violent conflicts before they start.
The end of the Cold War may have encouraged ethnic uprisings, but it has also enabled the international community to act collectively, according to the contributors to a new book, Preventive Diplomacy, edited by Kevin M. Cahill, a physician and medical consultant to the United Nations. Preventive diplomacy seeks to address the root causes of conflicts rather than wait until violence erupts and peacekeepers need to be sent in.
The book, based on papers presented at a United Nations symposium, offers the model of public health as a new organizing principle for diplomacy. The hope is that great successes of the international community in improving public health, such as the eradication of smallpox, can be adapted by diplomats. Prevention's proactive nature differentiates it from traditional diplomacy, which reacts to problems after they arise. Cahill and his colleagues argue that detection and early intervention to prevent conflicts and crises should be as honored in international relations as crisis management and political negotiation.
Cahill writes that "the sources of human stress, community breakdown, and group violence are far too diverse and too deeply embedded in social change to be consigned to the windowless compartments of conventional diplomacy." The diverse sources require help from many different disciplines, including medicine, so that prevention calls for a "symphony" of actions by including statesmen, businessmen, journalists, international organizations, bankers, nongovernmental organizations, and so on - rather than a solo performance by traditional diplomacy.
The United Nations is the logical "conductor" of the symphony, but it needs a great deal of help. International support is justified not only on moral grounds, but on economic ones: Preventive diplomacy would be cheaper than peacekeeping, whose annual cost is soaring, up 12-fold between 1986 and 1993.
"Preventing conflict requires different skills from resolving conflict," notes Cahill's colleague, Lord David Owen, a former Minister of Health and Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom. …

Commerce has changed more in the past few years than it has in the past five decades. The way we discover and buy products has gone through a paradigm shift. Technology facilitated this revolution and made commerce pervasive. In the age of pervasive commerce, every interaction with a consumer in the physical world or online is an opportunity to inform, educate, and sell products.
With consumers being continuously connected to the Internet via their smartphones, tablets, phablets, laptops, wearable devices and such, they expect personalized and relevant product information as soon as the thought of buying something comes up in their mind.
By far, the biggest shift to have occurred over the past few years is that of digital shopping and the possibilities that it offers for businesses to wow consumers. The days of destination-based commerce are long gone. Commerce is now pervasive, personalized, participative, and dynamic. And what enables this kind of commerce? Product-aware apps and websites.
Product-aware apps have access to real-time offers (price, promotion, availability) and catalog (brands, attributes, product tags) product data, generating the most relevant and personalized product offer for the consumer. Amazon's big announcement today launching the Fire Phone validates and emphasizes the need for businesses to build more product-aware apps. The Firefly technology on the phone has the ability to recognize the millions of products in Amazon's database through text and image recognition. The item is then directly added to the consumer's cart for convenient purchase.
Product-aware apps are the future of commerce. Who doesn't want to take the pain out of shopping by just pointing at whatever they want and having it dropped into their lap? Along with the need for product-aware apps, this consequently points to the logical need for a universal product database. Product-aware apps cannot be built without a structured product database. With the Fire Phone, every product in the Amazon database is now just a tap away. They have an organized and structured database that powers this experience. So how are other businesses going to ride this wave?
Brands and retailers need to become technology companies that are selling product-aware experiences. At Indix, we are building the world's largest product database and APIs to enable brands, retailers and developers to deliver the right product to the right customer at the right place, every time. Nobody has, until now, had access to a complete and comprehensive view of all the product information on the Internet.
Indix's infinite product catalog in the cloud offers comprehensive, dynamic, and up-to-date offers and catalog related information on a broad selection of products to a deep level of detail with lots and lots of attributes such as price, material, color, discounts, availability, ingredients, where designed, where manufactured and so on. Our mission is collect, organize and analyze the world's product information so that everyone can act on it.
Product-awareness has arrived. Are you equipped for success? We are here to help you succeed and exceed consumer expectations. We're in it to help you win it.
out of limited understanding I had this question when I was going through your blog.
Given that now amazon owns its product database with 'ability to visually recognize product'.
What is the advantage edge that indix is giving out?

We got doughnuts. I got sprinkles and chocolate.
We went to the ship. The cannon went boom! We went down in it and there were beds. When we went down there we saw water in one of the things. When we went somewhere we saw glass in the roof and we went further down where the water was and we went upstairs . After that we went off the ship.
There was one pulley had one sack and I could lift it a bit. The second one had two pulleys and I could lift it a bit more and the third one had three pulley's that I could get all the way up.
They are building the church again. They made it a bit like the picture. It has a door and lots of things.
Then we went to this cannon and it had a lot of bumps on it. We tried to go inside but it was too small. Daddy took pictures.
They were making a canoe out of a big log. They fanned and they were putting all the ash off. The fire was burning it. The canoe was not going to get finished today!
Then we went to the Indian village. We saw cut up animal skins.
Now I got to eat lunch. We went to a shop. Sammy got a map. We got Quinney a whistle. I got a sharpener-cannon. It runs with wheels. We got Katie a compass and a telescope to share.
We saw lots and lots of deer feet. Hard bones, you know.
There were pigs and somebody wearing hats, and there were cows. Some had horns and some didn't.
We went somewhere else and they shot guns and there were chickens there. We went quietly over them. They don't lay eggs if you are not quiet. So we went upstairs of the building and there was an attic up there, but we couldn't reach up there, and then we carved a hard bone on the stone. There were wooden couches where we carved the bone. We were grinding it.
There were beds upstairs and they were more room than a square.
When we were going home, Sammy was looking in the telescope and we got to McDonald's. Then we were almost home and Sammy was happy. Then I was home!

Have you been enjoying Fine Linen and Purple's What I Wore Sunday outfit linkup as much as I have over the past few months? Inspired by all the amazingly original, modest, and feminine outfits I've gotten to admire every week, I'm so excited to introduce a new feature here today!
The woman in the Song of Songs is described "like a lily among thorns." The entire poem just pulls on my heart. When I was younger, I remember being so surprised by the Song of Songs' overt sensuality, as well as by the idea that lines like "Your hair is like a flock of goats!" were considered turn-ons. Now, though, having been graced with a deeper, much more integrated view of sexuality, I see nothing but purity in these lovers' passion. As human persons, we are more special than we could ever fathom: no other being on earth is made in God's image and likeness, as a body and soul. And as women, we're the crown of creation. Our bodies express who we are and express the love between man and wife in such a visible way, so what I've come to realize is that sensuality, in the literal context of having to do with the senses, is such a beautiful thing. Sensuality, eroticism, and sex itself...these goods have been so twisted by the world, but when they're untwisted and placed squarely back where they belong, in light of nuptial love, they're nothing but good, pure, and holy.
So, in the spirit cultivating beauty, inspiring love, and expressing who we are as women through our bodies and our dress, I've asked some of my fellow bloggers to share a peek inside their style and their closets, and to pick out a bridal look as inspiration for you! For this inaugural edition of Like A Lily, meet Deme from A Fresh Coat of Paint! She blogs about making over her family's new home (check out these incredible Before and After shots!), life with her three adorable peanuts, and lately, fashion! Today she's dreaming about an elegantly simple wedding day blooming with peonies (my favorite!) and a soft, neutral palette with pops of pastel.
Here's what she has to say about it:
My own wedding was an evening affair on a cool evening in early spring. My bridesmaids all wore black dresses (of their own choosing, so all were different) and it was an almost all black and white wedding with a few touches of green. So this time around I felt myself drawn to a much warmer color palette, with warmer weather on the brain. I love the simple elegance of the dress and the soft pink bouquet. I love a neutral and natural setting so I ran with the pink/white/nude color story, with a little bit of mint thrown in the mix.
Read on for Deme's take on what makes a woman most beautiful, a reverse approach to dressing and accessorizing, and the best shoe risk she ever took.
Deme's Style:
Describe your personal style in 5 words. Classic with a nod to eclectic (okay, that was 6 words).
What's the secret to punching up an outfit on the days when you're tired of everything in your closet? I tell myself I'm not allowed to wear jeans (at least not my go-to blue jeans). It forces me to think outside of my daily "uniform". Jewelry and accessories are my other weapon for punching up an outfit that feels blah. I set aside the usual suspects and go for earrings or a necklace I haven't worn in awhile. Sometimes adding a statement piece of jewelry or a great scarf can completely change the look of an everyday outfit. It's also a great place to start when you're stuck. Instead of trying to come up with a great outfit and then accessorizing, grab your favorite accessory first and then go to your closet. That piece might inspire you to put together something totally new.
Name a few of your wardrobe essentials. A good pair of skinny jeans (I go up a size or two so they aren't too tight), riding boots for fall and winter, and a wedge sandal for spring and summer, a great pair of trousers, a maxi dress or skirt (so versatile for every season!), and a white 3/4 sleeve blazer. Cozy basics to mix and match.
Favorite Shoes: Ankle boots! I wavered on taking the plunge on these for awhile. I finally bit the bullet this winter and got a camel suede wedge ankle boot from Target. Love. Them. So comfy, and I feel like they take a ho-hum outfit up a notch every time!
Favorite Nail Color: Perfect Plum by Sally Hansen
Signature Fragrance: Pink by Victoria's Secret. Fresh and not too overpowering of a floral punch.
Every girl has days when she struggles with her looks and her worth. What do you do to remind yourself you're a beloved, beautiful daughter of the King? One of the best compliments I've ever received (evident by the fact that I remember it so specifically and clearly) was from a friend who said, "You are the most beautiful when you are talking about the things of God". It was a reminder that no matter how I look and how much time I spend on it, nothing is more striking than the Holy Spirit at work in us. Whenever I feel tempted to focus on my physical attributes or the ones I wish I could change, I ask for the beauty of "a gentle and quiet" spirit. Even if my heart is not in that place, by praying those words (sometimes again and again), it helps to lift my eyes off of my physical appearance and all my insecurities, and onto my Creator who sees me without flaw.
Items you can't live without: I'm a huge fan of Aveda hair products. They're not the cheapest, but they have worked the best for my thick, unruly hair. And a little goes a long way, so I'm not replacing them as much as other products.
How can a bride reflect her everyday style in her wedding day style? This can be easy to lose when you're faced with all the options out there! When it comes to the dress, go with your gut and what flatters your body type. When trying on dresses for my wedding I spotted a really beautiful dress with subtle lace details, a simple silhouette, and...it was a Mother of the Bride dress. I tried it on anyway and It just felt like me. I couldn't get it out of my head. Friends and family encouraged me towards another dress - one I really liked, but didn't love. I went with the wedding gown they suggested, but always thought about the first dress. So go with what you love and with what makes you feel great. When it comes to your hair, don't deviate too much from the way you normally wear it. If you have great natural curls, find a style appropriate for the day that shows those off. If you hate your hair in your face, don't wear it down. Overall, if you have a quirky style, throw in a few unexpected twists, like a pop of color or bold pattern in your shoes. If you're a lover of classic style, then go with timeless options and classic color schemes, leaving the trendy for another day.
Fashion, evangelization, and the Feminine Genius: your thoughts? As much as it's easy (and fun!) to get caught up in all the wedding planning details, don't lose sight of the Sacrament of your union. You are about to enter into a relationship that will literally be a picture to others of how Christ loves His church. Everyday we get dressed we have the opportunity to give the world a walking, talking picture of God's beauty. It's our unique gift as women, and the way we present ourselves each day can speak to how valuable and loved we are by our Heavenly King. Or it can speak a much different message - that our bodies are for others' pleasure, and should be the focus of attention. Or that our bodies are something to be ashamed of and hidden. The truth lies in the middle: our bodies are an incredible gift, intended to be given fully to our spouse only as a full expression of marital love. The body should therefore be dressed and treated with dignity and respect. To dress modestly does not mean you have to sacrifice style. To celebrate our femininity in a stylish way that also honors our bodies is a powerful way to evangelize. Your wedding day is no different, and perhaps one of the greatest opportunities to show that within the Sacrament of marriage, love and beauty flourish like no other.
"A walking, talking picture of God's beauty..." I just adore her, don't you? Such wisdom.

SHEPHERDSVILLE - Just barely beating the snow that would cancel school the next day, both the Bullitt Central Lady Cougars and the North Bullitt Lady Eagles picked up expected wins last Monday.
For Bullitt Central, coach Bryan Bates' team scored over 85 points for the third straight game as they ran past Iroquois 85-44. The Lady Raiders won the state tournament two years ago, but they have fallen on hard times since then.
LOUISVILLE - A two-day delay to the start of the 2011 Boys' Louisville Invitational Tournament for the Bullitt East Chargers didn't prove to be a problem.
Finally getting on the court on Thursday at Doss High School instead of Bellarmine University's Knights' Hall because of snow on Tuesday, the Chargers got a huge game from Rusty Troutman to beat Sixth Region rival Western 69-62.
LOUISVILLE - Perhaps the biggest shot in Bullitt East basketball history shouldn't have counted, but it did, and that was all that mattered Friday as the Chargers stunned Jeffersontown 56-54 in overtime in the quarter-finals of the 2011 Boys' Louisville Invitational Tournament.
LOUISVILLE - Even the best ride at Disney World eventually comes to an end.
The Bullitt East Chargers were reminded of that on Saturday morning as a remarkable 40-hour run in the 2011 Boys' Louisville Invitational Tournament came to an end against eventual champion Eastern 88-52 in Saturday morning's first semi-final.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - A quick start on Friday against visiting Atherton was just what the Bullitt Central Cougars ordered as they turned back the Rebels 67-49.
LOUISVILLE - There was snow on the ground outside, but that didn't have anything to do with the cold-shooting suffered by the Bullitt East Lady Chargers on Saturday afternoon in the Shooting for the Cure event at Cardinal Arena.
FAIRDALE - The last recorded dunk in a regulation basketball game for the North Bullitt Eagles came in 2006.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - Snow early this week means there will be even more basketball later this week, weather permitting of course.
FAIRDALE - For the first three quarters on Saturday afternoon, Amber Courtney was not a happy coach.
SHEPHERDSVILLE - On Thursday, the Bullitt Central girls' basketball program found itself between the proverbial rock and a hard place.

Down the road, March 22nd.
A day after Pakistan won an eventful World Cup semi final against New Zealand, England played South Africa in the second semi final at Sydney. England batted first and posted 252 in 45 overs, as the Proteas were 5 overs short. This alongside the flawed D/L method, proved to be disastrous for South Africa. They needed 22 runs off 13 balls and were cruising along, before rain played spoilsport. But post rain, South Africa needed 22 runs off 1 ball! England had qualified for their third World Cup final and were to face Pakistan if they had to win for the first time.
In 2001, India locked horns with Australia yet again at home. But on this day, India won the deciding Test at Chennai by two wickets and thus, the series 2-1. Who would have ever thought of an Indian comeback after Australia won their 16th consecutive Test match at Mumbai by 10 wickets? However, the passionate and young Harbhajan Singh bamboozled the Australians with 32 wickets in 3 Tests, and there could have been no better end to the match with Harbhajan hitting the winning runs off Glenn McGrath as the world champion team led by Steve Waugh was stunned. March 22 could be credited for the beginning of an exciting India-Australia rivalry which has been maintained throughout a decade.
Also this day marked Sri Lanka's entrance into world cricket as a superpower. They won a Test series for the first time overseas that is against New Zealand. In a span of one year, they won the World Cup.
In 2009, the England women's team could achieve what the men could not. Winning a 50-over World Cup. They beat New Zealand by 4 wickets in the final at Sydney.

Blacks who think they're being shoved around when they really are.

In just two weeks the amount of shoeboxes returned for the Rotary Club appeal has more than doubled from 400 to nearly 1000.
The making of request boxes are underway thanks to 'Santa's Little Helpers' from Lloyds Banking Group to give to charities and good causes that asked for specific boxes.
Over the last few days local companies have been returning their boxes, increasing the overall total even more.
Business group The Last Friday Club, which was set up a few years ago by Ramsdens Solicitors, had taken boxes away to fill.
At thir meeting this month nearly 50 filled boxes were passed back into the system.
Sinead Sopala, from Ramsdens, said: "We are delighted to support the community shoebox appeal for the third year….knowing you are helping make a difference to people's lives in our very own community means a great deal to staff."
Another member of the club, Frances Day of Bird Board said: "It's been an absolute joy to be a part of this fabulous movement, to know that women across all our Boards have stepped up to gather gifts specifically for teenage girls.
"We felt it was important for them to know that they weren't on their own and they have a support network of brave women behind them, routing for them every step of the way."
Rotary organiser Bryan Harkness and his team have been collecting from schools.
At one Primary School in Todmorden, where 87 boxes were collected, learning mentor Tracey Bardsley explained that one pupil Freya Birch had fundraised by making stress balls out of balloons and rice and sold to fellow pupils.
As a result an amazing £25 was donated to the appeal.
Bryan explained that this contribution and others already received would be utilised in the next two weeks to buy items to meet any shortfalls in making up orders.
He said: "Though we have over 1,000 still to come in we envisage a shortage of items to make up boxes for young babies and also boys in the age range ten to fourteen.
"Each year it seems they are difficult groups for people to fill boxes!"
Anyone who is filling boxes from Tesco at Brighouse, King Cross and Sowerby Bridge, Morrisons in Elland, Sainsbury in Halifax and Harveys of Halifax. should begin to return them soon.
These outlets still have a few flat-packed shoeboxes left if anyone is still wishing to participate, however these are very limited.
There is still time to join in with the appeal and items in an 'ordinary shoebox' or in a carrier bag would still be greatly received .
All items can be distributed and the Rotary Club will carry on collecting and distributing the kindly gifted shoebox items to within a few days of Christmas itself.

Last week, I had the chance to talk to Leslie Bennetts about candidates and infidelity for a piece she wrote for The Daily Beast (Newsweek's Internet counterpart).
I was excited about the conversation because as a longtime fan of Vanity Fair, I've been reading Leslie Bennetts' reporting forever. To my delight, we had a great long chat that covered everything from whether stay-at-home moms are more likely to put up with a husband's affair than working moms (My opinion? Definitely.) to whether or not Herman Cain's wife, Gloria, had to have known about Ginger White (I say no).
The meat of Leslie's story, though, concerned what I had to say about Newt Gingrich. Unlike Herman Cain, whose alleged sexual shenanigans brought his campaign to a halt, Newt's doing well with Iowa's female social conservatives, despite his checkered past. Here's why.
Recently, Newt Gingrich has made a point of publicly apologizing for the mistakes in his past -- and his humbleness seems to be having an impact. During the Thanksgiving Family Forum a few weeks ago (which CafeMom covered in depth), Gingrich said that there was a time in his life when he felt hollow inside. After that, he said, he began reading his Bible and decided to refocus his life on God and to seek forgiveness for his mistakes.
Regardless of what you or I think of these claims, the fact is that the Iowa moms in the audience bought Gingrich's story, hook, line and sinker. I talked to a focus group of 30 moms who had been in the audience for the forum and they were absolutely swooning over Newt afterward -- and many of these women said they had been supporters of other candidates before watching Newt Gingrich during the forum, so his words were obviously very persuasive.
I was surprised that he managed to have so much of an impact on female social conservatives -- they're the voters one would think would never be able to forgive Newt Gingrich for his past -- but the women all spoke of how smart he was (if you've never seen him speak, Gingrich peppers his comments with historical references -- you feel like you're being lectured to by a college professor), and how they loved seeing his "sensitive side" during the forum. Hearing that he had repented for his sins and turned to God was all they needed to hear to give him their support.
Interesting, isn't it?
Gingrich knows this strategy is working, too. Expect to see a kinder, gentler Newt this election cycle -- As it turns out, 'smart and sensitive' may well be a winning combination when it comes to winning the Republican women's vote.

NEW YORK (AP) Zivo extended his winning streak to five in the $200,000 Commentator Handicap on Saturday at Belmont Park.
The Commentator capped New York Showcase Day, a 10-race card devoted to horses bred in the state.
Zivo, a 5-year-old trained by Chad Brown, paid $4.70, $3.20 and $3.00 as he uncorked a furious rally from 13th to edge Big Business by a neck. It was one of four wins on day for jockey Jose Ortiz.
''I saw Big Business was ahead by three lengths when I got clear,'' Ortiz said. ''I thought maybe I wouldn't get there. I kept riding, and he kept flying.''
The time was 1:34.11 for the mile on the fast track.
Big Business returned $10.80 and $6.70 while Weekend Hideaway paid $7.90 to show.
Ortiz was also aboard La Verdad, winner of the Critical Eye, the $200,000 companion event for fillies and mares. She paid $2.80 to win as the 2-5 favorite.
The other winners of the $125,000 stakes were: Isabelle in the Bouwerie for 3-year-old fillies, Karafa in the Kingston on the turf, Mah Jong Madness in the Mount Vernon for fillies and mares on the turf and Captain Serious in the Mike Lee for sprinters.

Formal Assessment - People & Place
Well I received my formal notification of my results for People & Place 1 last night. I was very pleased to see I have passed with a Class 1 again, the same as for The Art of Photography. I didn't think I'd done quite as well as TAOP, so I was pleased that the assessors disagreed with me! I also appreciated the comments, one of which reads "Continuing to develop your personal style and take innovative risks will further strengthen your work". This I feel is an excellent comment and something I am working towards as I progress through the degree pathway. My other blog (for Digital Photography Practice) is being kept up to date, and now that I have finished the first module (Workflow) for that, I am taking some time out to do more reading and looking at other peoples work, which I am finding enlightening and inspiring.

Jackalwere and Wererats
These are the females and males of the same race. Their society is matriarchal and dominated by the Jackalwere, who select mates from the wererat populace. In order to breed, both must assume human form, though generally they appear as hybrids. They live in cities of pyramids, surrounded by moats. The Jackalwere inhabit the pyramids and the wererats live in the subterranean moats around them.
Sirine and Satyrs
The sirine inhabit reefs and kelp forests in off shore shallows, and like the Jackalwere and Wererats form a symbiotic relationship with coastal communities of satyrs, who provide them with "companionship" and breeding. Neither sirine nor satyr forms organised societies, preferring to live in relative anarchy.
Intelligent Ankhegs live in huge underground kingdoms deep underneath the thickest forests. They war constantly with all other beings, seeing them merely as food, and they cannot be communicated with - their language is composed entirely of posture and the release of hormones, which other races cannot emulate. Their culture and society is largely unknown.
Intelligent beavers inhabit lakes and rivers, creating huge riparian dam-cities. Surrounding these cities they tend huge areas of cultivated forest, so as to provide them with endless supplies of wood. This brings them into constant conflict with Ankheg interlopers who seek the loamy soil of these beaver-made forests.
I call this campaign setting "Symbiants and Also Beavers and Ankheg World". Or Sabaw for short.

I would love to see sketches of "huge riparian dam-cities". Phrase of the day!ReplyDelete
The Ankhegs ring truest for me. I am also in complete agreement with the "One Hour D&D" post. My group's sessions are a few hours after work on weekdays once every other week or so. I'm also getting less and less patient with complex rulesets.ReplyDelete
On a completely different note: I was perusing old blog posts here and it seems the earliest accessible one is http://monstersandmanuals.blogspot.com/2008/05/shakespearian-aspects.html
My vague recollection is that the blog is older than that. Am I off base? Is there any way to access earlier posts?
The jackalwere/wererat society is very enticing. I especially like the thought of it as the main PC race. There's only so far you can go playing a beaver.ReplyDelete
Dam-cities sound amazing, enough for me to include sentient beavers into my own campaign I think. Or maybe like river people with beaver companions?ReplyDelete
Anyway, cool stuff.
I'd play a beaver in a heartbeat. Can they communicate with the other races?ReplyDelete
Thank you for putting in a matriarchal society. Also, Sirine Amazons. :DReplyDelete
Here, Judd describes a similar method for creating China Mieville-style cities:ReplyDelete
We used it once and it turned out great although we didn't get to play in it.
Coincidentally, I'm working on a giant-beaver-dam dungeon as we speak. I love the jackalwere/wererats sexual dimorphism thing, that's freaking awesome.ReplyDelete

Yeah it's weird that there is a lack of struggle and firefigjt evidence. No bullet holes on the walls. Almost as if they were executed in that sane room. Can't say they were Zetas but I hope the army doesn't do extrajudicial killings of criminals. Even as bad as the Zetas or Golfos are. The arny shouldn't be the judge and punsher/executioner. The law should always have the moral high ground. Mexico isn't North Korea or China. Plus having them alive should give the army or authorities more info on the criminal network and use that info to prosecute them and at the sane time go after the commadantes or plaza bosses. And do a RICO on them and send them for a long time. I have always speculated that criminals fear doing time then death.

Who cares what it looks like?They are a gang of people with shooters in Mexico?They were innocently minding their own business in their own apartment,not bothering anyone,its so sad.We could have asked them what went wrong in their life,were you sexually abused,did you have to eat chicken balls cause you were so poor?What turned you into someone who kidnaps and kills innocent people?Now we will never know,how sad....And if you believe that load of bollocks you also believe they should have been arrestedReplyDelete

it is well known that corrupt police and military need to present some "work" once in a while, and with the help of their criminal partners, they will present some work.
this case stinks to high heavens because of that, the mysterious call, no kidnapp victims are said to have been found, in spite of the accusations, these dead people are talking, people that have seen the effects of grenade explosions, are saying here there seems to have been no grenade explosion there, these guys, associates or not, seem to have been planted for the killers to present some work.
yarrington, bertie boy moreira, pena nieto, fidel herrera beltran, grainger, femat, deschamps, the salinas de gortaris, mario marin, manuel cavazos lerma, and so many others, would never be dealt with like this.
the expendable get spent, the invaluable baluarts of corruption are preserved for the common good of their brethren, and supported with the second hand surplus weaponry the white politicians from the US sell to the mexican government at superinflated prices...
-- regarding texas style justice, railroading people is not justice, really.
--when the governor of texas can not even contemplate postponing a death sentence, or overturning it because: "a jury of a defendant's peers has been manipulated to convict an innocent person" there s no justice, really
-- when a president that comes from the state of texas has committed genocide and torture around the world, even in the name of the of
The United States of America, after selling the country on to fighting a war under false pretenses where so many US and iraqi citizens have died for nothing, texas has no right to claim that justice is there, really...
--when the US president's comrades have used him to wage a war for 10 or 12 years to enrich themselves and he is from texas, texas should threat at least his comrades to some real texas style justice, that would be JUSTICE, really...

the federal police as a whole, and all the top military in mexico are the most corrupt kidnappers for ransom, fabricators of guilty parties and false convictions, since not all of them can get to partake of the drug trafficking, someone has to pay to make it up to them, and it's usually the lower echelon or the people of mexico, anybody that looks like they must have some money somewhere.
and they will plant and kill people to protect themselves and politicians around, many times after committing the previous crimes themselves, a la Genaro Garcia Luna, the most total criminal now living in the US, and no Federal congressman or senator in the US is asking any questions...?!?!?!?!

The European Union (EU) has not made any decision to suspend financial aid to Tanzania, stressing that it is not the objective of the politico-economic union of 28 member states to cut support for the African country's progress. "We are not happy with what happened in Zanzibar. But as members of the EU, we have not reached a decision to suspend aid to Tanzania," the Head of the EU Delegation in Tanzania, Ambassador Roeland van de Geer, told the 'Daily News' in an interview. He added that according to his understanding, even the recent decision by the United States Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) to suspend its financial support to Tanzania did not mean that the US will not support the country in other areas. The envoy pointed to the fact that the EU recognises Tanzania's enviable reputation on upholding democracy, noting that it was significant for the nation to maintain the status.

OLD COCKTAIL BOOKS are part of what drew many of us LUPEC ladies into this whole "mixology" thing in the first place. As the cocktail renaissance has evolved, many of these fantastic books have been revised and resurrected by today's publishers, making the old new once again. We were thrilled to find a new revised and expanded edition of the iconic Waldorf Astoria Bar Book on the shelves at our favorite cocktail tool and supply shop, the Boston Shaker. Originally published in 1934 (the year after Prohibition's repeal), it is based on the actual bar book used behind the bar by their bartenders before the Noble Experiment. All you need to play vintage hotel bartender is crack the spine.
The Coronation Cocktail is one of those drinks that has several different recipes associated to its name, but the Waldorf's version is our favorite. The first was published in 1914 in Jacob Straub's Drinks and another was published in the famed Savoy cocktail book in 193O. Each recipe is quite different but they share equal parts as their format. The Waldorf's recipe, made with Applejack, America's oldest distilled spirit, sweet and dry vermouth and apricot liqueur is a delightful aperitif.
Have a sip and raise a glass to the new old Waldorf Astoria bar book and its author Frank Caiafa!

Presented to Dr. Rodney Davis and Dr. Douglas Wilson of Knox College
Presented to Bernice King, the daughter of Dr. Martin Luther King and Coretta Scott King, in memory of her parents.
The Abraham Lincoln Association (ALA) awarded Illinois Supreme Court Chief Justice Rita B. Garman with its first-ever "Spirit of Lincoln Award".
The award was established to recognize individuals who have displayed the spirit of Abraham Lincoln in their professional careers for the betterment of humanity. The award itself is a bust of Abraham Lincoln by Illinois sculptor John McClarey specifically created for this award.
President Lincoln and his administration were the force behind many laws that Americans still feel the effects of today. The fact that he worked to improve the lives of Americans through legislation while serving as commander-in-chief during the Civil War inspired a committee of the ALA board members to create this annual award.
"His administration gave us several gifts which we still enjoy today," Dr. Wayne Temple, Distinguished Director of the ALA and Chief Deputy Director of the Illinois State Archives, said. "The Morrill Act gave federal lands to the States so that they might create land -grant colleges or universities one in each state. The National Bank Act improved banking. The Pacific Highway Act brought about the transcontinental railroad. The Homestead Act opened up the great West for settlement to those without large financial means."

Teams Muirhead and Fleming Back To Competitive Action In Berne
Posted on
European bronze medallists Team Muirhead get back into competitive action this week competing in the Bernese Ladies Cup in Switzerland (12-15 January 2017).
The globe-trotting Scottish champions finished last year with a third place finish in the Karuizawa International, having previously reached the finals of the HDF Insurance Shoot Out and the Colonial Square Ladies Classic in Canada, as well as claiming the Women's Masters title in Basel.
The Olympic bronze medallists will now be looking to consolidate the form which also saw them beat the entire field during the qualifying stages of the European Championships as they build towards the Scottish Championships next month where they will hope to earn qualification for the Worlds.
After watching brother Glen Muirhead, part of Team Brewster win the Curling Champions Tour (CCT) Perth Masters last weekend, skip Eve is keen to get back on the ice with her team and start contesting titles.
"During the festive period we've had some great family time, rest and recovery but now we're ready and itching for competition again," she said.
"Between Christmas and New Year we had some well planned ice sessions at Braehead with constant communication back and forth from our ice support team, Glenn (Howard) and Tony (Zummack). These few days were very beneficial leading into our first competition of the year- Berne.
"The field this coming weekend is once again strong. All the games will be tough but we enjoy the challenge. It's getting towards the business part of the season and we've planned our training and competition very carefully to make sure there are no stones left unturned."
Team Fleming who also finished last year reaching the podium as finalists at the Qinghai China International which followed two other results this season that saw them just miss out on titles at the Red Deer Classic and Stockholm Ladies Cup, are keen to resume their curling duties in Switzerland tomorrow.
"We enjoyed a few days down time at home with friends and family over Christmas, but since then we have been training hard for the next crucial stage of the season. We start our 2017 competitive cycle at the Bern Ladies and we expect it to be a well contested event and we know we will have some tough games ahead of us, " said skip Hannah Fleming.
"Having had a few weeks off competition it has given us a chance to work on some key areas and so we feel confident going forward into this event. The ice sessions at Braehead between Christmas and New Year were invaluable to us and allowed us to get a good batch of team training under our belts to round off 2016 and focus on the end of our season."
Team Fleming Coach Nancy Smith added: "After the successful event in China prior to Christmas, Team Fleming's intentions to find the small margins to compete with the best in the world continue at what will be a professionally run event in Berne.
"They look forward to returning to competition mode after a small well-earned break and a good block of team training at Braehead."
Team Hazel Smith will also be part of the Scottish challenge in Bern while, elsewhere, Scottish Mixed Doubles Champions Gina Aitken and Bruce Mouat – who were named earlier this week in the team heading to the 2017 World Universiade in Kazakhstan at the end of this month – have their first competitive doubles outing of 2017 at the CCT Dutch Masters (13-15 January 2017).

Brothers and sisters, friends of the IPC (Iglesia Presbiteriana de Colombia).
Receive our greetings in the name of the Prince of Peace, our Lord Jesus Christ.
We write on behalf of the Presbyterian Church of Colombia to share our frustration with the results of the plebiscite that rejected the accords between the government and the FARC (Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia).
We want to express to all of you our gratitude for your unconditional support of the IPC and for the quest for peace in Colombia. We know that all those efforts have not been in vain and that peace will prevail in the end.
It is for this reason that today, more than ever, we invite you to continue accompanying us with your prayers and actions. You can be sure that in this corner of the world the church still stands firm, guided by the light of the gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit. In our local congregations, our educational institutions, and through our social service work, we shall continue our efforts to build a better country.
"We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed" (2 Corinthians 4:8–9, New Living Translation).
In kindred love,
The Reverend Martha Muñoz, Moderator
