This artist performed at the VFMF in 2016
San Fermin (New York)
San Fermin (pronounced Fair-MEEN) is the brainchild of classically trained Brooklyn composer and multi-instrumentalist Ellis Ludwig-Leone. The music he creates has been described as "chamber pop storytelling" and "baroque pop" as well as simply "indescribable". However named, this is compelling, potent listening.
San Fermin started taking shape after Ludwig-Leone's graduation from Yale, where he studied composition. He retreated to the Banff Centre to write San Fermin. the self-titled debut album. In 2012, the initially makeshift project performed a single concert - from sheet music - and promptly signed a record deal, with a recording released worldwide in 2013 via Downtown Records. NPR called the 17-song epic that featured multiple players and instruments "one of the year's most surprising, ambitious, evocative and moving records." The album reached #18 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers album chart - and sold out concerts, tours, and festival gigs followed.
Since then, Ludwig-Leone has settled on the tighter, permanent eight-piece lineup to help realize his vision, featuring trumpet, baritone sax, violin and male and female lead vocals - and released a second recording, Jackrabbit, in 2015. In San Fermin's music, you'll hear flashes of sound and influences from across time and cultures: rock, ska, sometimes edgy, sometimes soaring, challenging, complex. Their music's been described as having moments beautiful, brutal and a bit of both...songs that don't know how to let you out of their clutches or console you with easy answers.

In tune with the changing world of online retail
When not deploying the latest web analytics tools at MandMDirect.com, Caroline Knox can be found playing the piano. As David Reed finds out, there may not be that much difference between the skills needed to do both.
Music and mathematics have a strange affinity with each other, even though they are taught in the separate worlds of art and science. Caroline Knox, head of marketing services at MandMDirect.com, could well be proof of that. At university she learned the skills of conducting and recording music. At work, she is responsible for campaign delivery and analysis, data cleansing, segmentation, customer insight and competitor monitoring, web analytics, upgrading the marketing database, setting targets and reporting to the board.
Quite a list of science-oriented tasks for an arts graduate, but as she says about her course, "mental agility, creativity and embracing new technology were actively encouraged."
MandMDirect.com is migrating its analysis and selection tools to a new version of SmartFocus. The goal is to support marketing and the business with "the next set of customer experience-enhancing initiatives," she says. In fact, the company has just jointly won a Retail Week technology award for its work with customer experience management solutions vendor Tealeaf.
All of this is combined with a project to "get the data squeaky clean ready for our busiest trading period from Autumn onwards," notes Knox. Nothing like a deadline to bring out the best in people, but then that is a major part of her job's appeal.
"Despite a growing team who are delivering to a high standard, we constantly juggle priorities to meet deadlines. We have to be quite creative in delivering solutions, but this is the most satisfying part of the job," she says.
If anybody does get the thin end of the deal, it tends to be suppliers, she admits. "I'm quite demanding, requiring quotes and delivery of data in a very short time frame according to our changing needs," says Knox. "I'm aware how hard I push my suppliers on price. I think those suppliers that offer a range of services, or can offer a particular product consistently well across several countries, with joined up account management, will continue to do well."
Driving the best out of internal and external resources reflects the entrepreneurial nature of MandMDirect.com, which started life as a mail order business. Every penny invested gets measured directly against results and the company has ambitious growth plans, especially in Europe.
This also means senior-level buy-in to data as a key resource. "The CEO Steve Robinson and marketing director Neil Sansom – in fact the whole board – have an insatiable demand for data and analysis to ensure we're on track," says Knox. Her success is measured against customer growth and orders, together with the successful delivery of marketing campaigns, actionable analysis and customer insight.
That is only to be expected from a company she joined six years ago when it already had big ambitions. Says Knox/ "I've seen the company grow and innovate beyond recognition with marketing and technological initiatives implemented almost on a weekly basis. MandMDirect.com is now a leading international online sports and fashion discount retailer, but still maintains the 'can-do' attitude of its founders. It's been an exciting journey!"
Her career in data-driven marketing started at Johnsons News Group in Bath, devising point-of-sale material for newsagents, agreeing magazine launch strategies and setting up the management information system. Completing her marketing diploma while there, Knox started to apply the statistical and research methodologies she had learned to campaign analysis and providing insight to the publishers.
After a move to London and a year spent travelling before starting a family, Knox returned with a job at mail order business Kays. It was here that a cornerstone of her current work was laid. "During this time I developed a real understanding of the integrity and value of data, learnt a range of data analysis tools and completed various courses on data protection, analysis and management," she says.
Much as musicians tend to be able to pick up a number of instruments and play them well, she has been able to develop skills around the core of analysis, segmentation, data quality and planning.
As well as indoor and open water swimming, Knox is keen to travel and would match her employer's European ambitions with family journeys of her own. But she notes: "For now, I'm content to play the piano with a nice glass of red wine to relax."

Patriotic Messages
The feeling of patriotism is one of the strongest emotions a person can feel for his or her nation. It is very important to give your country respect and love.
There is no particular occasion when one should feel proud of their country as it is an ongoing emotion. But usually people tend to feel patriotic on days of national importance. On these days, the most effective way to make others feel patriotic too is by sending them patriotic messages.
Patriotic messages can be sent to a variety of people and this is how they are categorized in the following manner:
- Patriotic message to friend
- Patriotic message to family member
- Patriotic message to colleague
- Patriotic message to employer/employee
Since it is not everyday that one writes these messages, so we have a few suggestions worth keeping in mind while writing a patriotic message:
- Let the message come straight from the heart.
- You can state quotes said by famous political leaders to give your message a more patriotic feel.
- You can encourage the recipient to help you in the cause of nation building, however big or small your method is.
- Be concise and don't drift away from the main topic.

I am currently living in Denmark where the economical recession is really doing lots of damage. Already at least three very relevant and interesting game companies have had to close their doors due to lack of funding. That's how it goes – no money – no games I am afraid.
There is something positive though. Limbo project (PlayDead) just got relatively nice funding of 11 million Danish kronas (~1,5 million €). Limbo got funds from Danish CAT Science by RUC, FAHU and Vækstfonden. I get to know Limbo more than a year ago through Nordic Game Program where I am at the Expert group evaluating the applications. Limbo charmed us too but whereas Nordic Game funds are good incentive for the developers it is (naturally) remarkably smaller than VC funds. And without these bigger funds development of a project like Limbo would be so much harder and slower.But what's so special about Limbo? First of all it is very much designer / artist driven project. When you look at game video or screen shots it is clear that the visual style is one of the key drivers of the game development. GameDaily wrote an article from IGF09 (btw: Blueberry Garden won – congrats!) where they described the style as "Scandinavian" referring (also) to developers like Petri Purho (Crayon Physic Deluxe), cactus and Niflas (Knytt). Could Limbo's style be similarly Scandinavian? On the other hand it is a bit Japanese and has certain Ico-feel (black-white, blurred edges, hazyness). Also Samorost comes to my mind for some reason. The story is quite unique (Scandinavian? Remember The Brothers Lionheart / Bröderna Lejonhjärta? – Limbo is about a boy who is looking after his dead little sister in Limbo – mythical space in between heaven and hell.
I met Arnt (artist/designer behind Limbo) at the Nordic Game Jam. After meeting the designer the project felt even more clear and justifiable. Limbo seems to be based on a strong vision and demand to keep all the strings at their (PlayDead) own hands. According to Danish press big game companies have contacted PlayDead but they want to stay indie. I have nothing but respect to that – that is the way to innovate and reshape the game industry piece by piece. I hope Limbo will be stimulating Danish game industry, bringing hope to other developers as well.

What divides us is Chalcedon and a lot of bad history that happened afterwards.I have yet to hear anyone lay out any substantive theological differences. In fact, a couple of years ago in a thread in the private forum, I asked if anyone could give any substantive differences. I think all I got was an OO saying the EO's have toll houses and that they believe in universal salvation. The problem with that answer, however, was that only some EO's believe in toll houses and there's only one EO that anyone knows of who believes in universal salvation. No other substantive differences were offered.You might want to click on the Chalcedon tag below and read through some of the threads to get a feel for what that's all about. Basically, the OO's say Christ has one nature which is fully divine and fully human and the EO's say Christ has two natures, one divine and one human. Some EO's like to accuse the OO's of believing that Christ is not fully human, but that's a bunch of baloney. Similarly, some OO's like to accuse the EO's of believing that the two natures operate separately as two different persons, but that is also false.
Everything here seems to be about right. The tollhouse thing is also a bit iffy because the like a lot of theologoumena it is not clearly defined but I'm sure if I got down to it I might be able to go through the OO church fathers and find some equivalent concept but again the OO and the EO have both not made extremely definitive statements on the afterlife.

In its recent decision on the long-running dispute between POM Wonderful, LLC and Coca-Cola, the Supreme Court endorsed the position that FDA regulations represent a regulatory "floor"— not a ceiling — and that these regulations may be "complemented" by additional and more stringent requirements of law. Specifically, the Court ruled that the Lanham Act's prohibition against false advertising is not superseded by FDA regulations, even where those regulations expressly permit the advertising claims at issue.
The Court's unanimous ruling was the culmination of years of litigation, which readers of the Seller Beware Blog will remember from previous posts here, here and here. POM, maker of POM WONDERFUL® pomegranate juice, brought suit against Coca-Cola in 2008, claiming that its Minute Maid Enhanced Pomegranate Blueberry Flavored 100% Juice Blend violates the Lanham Act's prohibition against false advertising because the product contains only 0.3% pomegranate juice and 0.2% blueberry juice. Coca-Cola had argued, successfully until now, that because regulations promulgated under the federal Food, Drug & Cosmetic Act (FDCA) squarely address labeling of juice blends, and the Minute Maid juice label complies with these regulations, the FDCA precluded POM's suit.
The Supreme Court, following an oral argument notable for the Justices' skepticism of Coca-Cola's position, rejected Coca-Cola's argument, holding instead that Congress intended the two statutes to be complementary with respect to food and beverage labeling. It noted that neither act expressly preempts the other, and that the coexistence of both statutes provides more protection for consumers and industry than either could alone. The Court further reasoned that the FDA lacks the perspective or expertise in market dynamics, whereas competitors may have "far more immediate and accurate" awareness of practices that constitute unfair competition. Applying this logic, the Court explicitly rejected the federal government's argument that a Lanham Act claim is precluded to the extent that FDCA regulations specifically require or authorize the challenged aspects of the label. The Court therefore reversed the earlier summary judgment for Coca Cola and remanded the case to the District Court.
It is unclear whether this decision will ultimately benefit POM. In a similar case brought by POM against Welch Foods, Inc., the jury found that Welch's had deceptively marketed its product, but also found POM had not proven that it suffered lost sales. A comparable outcome in its lawsuit against Coca-Cola would be a hollow victory. Moreover, the Supreme Court's decision against Coca-Cola may well be used against POM, which has been sued by consumers and the FTC over allegedly false and misleading claims.
The big question is how big a win this decision will be for the consumer class action plaintiff's bar. It could have been worse for sellers of foods and beverages: because the Court's holding bears on Lanham Act claims, its express scope is limited to suits between competitors. But this holding relies in large part on the Court's determination that competing laws, both of which address false and misleading product descriptions, can complement one another. This reasoning could undermine preemption defenses formerly available to industry, especially the argument that compliance with the FDCA insulates manufacturers against claims under state consumer protection laws. Consequently, this decision may embolden plaintiffs, and increase the already heavy load of consumer class actions burdening food manufacturers.

Early life[edit]
This article is missing information about high school and university attended.September 2016)(
Baraka was born in 1953 and grew up on the South Side of Chicago.[3] He served in the U.S. Army in the Vietnam War. Upon discharge, he moved to the southern United States, where he became involved in anti-segregation activism.[4]
Baraka received his BA in international studies and political science from the University of South Florida, Tampa in 1982 and his MA and PhD in political science from Clark Atlanta University in 1987.[5] Baraka has said the work of W. E. B. Du Bois was important in the formation of his black internationalist worldview, and he attended Clark Atlanta, where Du Bois had taught. Baraka became involved in the Central America solidarity movement, organizing delegations to Nicaragua in support of the Nicaraguan Revolution. He then became an Amnesty International volunteer, eventually moving up to the board of the organization.[4]
From 2004 to 2011, Baraka served as the founding executive director of the US Human Rights Network, a national network that grew to over 300 U.S.-based organizations and 1500 individual members. He is currently an associate fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies in Washington, D.C.[6]
Baraka has served on the boards of several human rights organizations, including Amnesty International, the Center for Constitutional Rights, and Africa Action.[7]
In 2008, Baraka worked with the US Human Rights Network and over 400 organizations to develop a CERD Shadow Report, which concerned US compliance with the terms of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination. They felt the US government's reports did not adequately address racial profiling, displacement from Hurricane Katrina, and land rights for the Western Shoshone, among other issues. A large delegation presented their findings.[8]
In September 2016, a Morton County, North Dakota judge issued an arrest warrant against Baraka and Jill Stein, after the two were charged with misdemeanor criminal trespassing and criminal mischief in connection with their protest against the Dakota Access Pipeline.[9][10][11] Baraka had spray-painted the word "decolonization" on a bulldozer during the protest.[9] In an interview shortly afterward, Baraka said that he and Stein were "in discussions with our legal team about how we're going to deal with this" and described his action as an act of resistance against "corporate America and the colonial state."[12]
Views and writings[edit]
Writings by Baraka have appeared in Black Agenda Report, Common Dreams, Dissident Voice, Pambazuka News, CounterPunch, and other media outlets.[13] Christopher Hooks wrote in Politico Magazine that Baraka "has a long history of fringe statements and beliefs."[14]
Domestic policy[edit]
Death penalty[edit]
Baraka was critical of United States President Bill Clinton's decision in 2000 to place a moratorium of death sentences for the remainder of his term. Baraka stated, "This was a cynical attempt by the president to shift the responsibility for this execution onto the next president ... Regardless of how they try to spin it, claims by President Clinton and Attorney General Janet Reno that they are concerned about racial and geographic disparities ring hollow."[15]
On May 4, 2001 an op-ed in The Daily Oklahoman authored by Baraka laid out his opposition to the death penalty and the sentencing of Timothy McVeigh to death for his part in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. He wrote, "[Amnesty International] has dedicated 40 years to working with and on behalf of victims on a daily basis, we have the utmost respect and sympathy for the suffering of the families and loved ones of victims of violence—suffering that deserves compassion, respect and justice. ... However, the killing of McVeigh, like all other executions, will be done for reasons of political expediency and retribution rather than reasons of justice. For while family members of victims are entitled to respect and compassion, courts should not be allowed to become forums for retaliation. This degrades not only our system of justice but also ourselves as human beings, as we then become little better than the killers we seek to condemn."[16]
Disaster relief[edit]
In 2005, Baraka argued that the victims of Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita should be considered "internally displaced" and given assistance in accordance with internationally recognized rights for such people.[17]
Baraka criticized the U.S. government for its reaction to the 2016 Louisiana floods, comparing its "unprepared" response to "the callous response of the Bush administration" after Hurricane Katrina.[18] Noting that natural disasters and environmental hazards have a disproportionate impact on minority and low-income communities, Baraka wrote that "the flood victims in Louisiana deserve real justice that addresses the full spectrum of human rights," including better temporary housing and fair distribution of and access to humanitarian aid.[18]
Drug policy[edit]
Baraka has opposed the War on Drugs, which he believes has caused local police departments to be "militarized" and "unleashed" on minority communities.[19] In August 2016, Baraka said he was in favor of granting clemency to individuals convicted of marijuana-related offenses, calling prison sentences for nonviolent drug convictions "a waste of taxpayers' money."[20]
Race relations[edit]
Baraka has criticized efforts to "Americanize" black radicals and to assimilate African Americans into the American middle class, writing: "Saner people would call that process genocide, but in the U.S. it is called racial progress."[21] Referencing Black Panther activist Assata Shakur, Baraka argued that black radical activists could never obtain true freedom "while the American government and American capitalism[22] remain intact."[21]
In September 2016, Baraka called for an international commission to monitor police brutality in the United States, calling recent killings by police a form of "state-sponsored violence against civilians".[23] Baraka wrote that the United States was "in the midst of a human rights crisis, and the Obama administration has been unable to make black lives matter to representatives of the state."[23]
Prison abolition[edit]
Baraka is in favor of abolishing prisons, believing that "we can build a society where prisons are not necessary and restorative justice can be a tool we use as we evolve as human beings."[24] While recognizing that those who are "imminently harmful" to other people may need to be separated from society, Baraka disagrees with "the barbaric practice of confining people to cells as though they were animals for years at a time."[24]
Free trade[edit]
Baraka condemns the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), and other free trade agreements that he characterizes as "neoliberal."[25][26]
Baraka has termed trade deals a "Black issue" both domestically and internationally.[25][26] He asserts that the TPP "is a weapon to maintain U.S. global hegemony by denying the fundamental economic, social and cultural rights of millions of people in order to benefit a parasitic white minority ruling class in the U.S."[25] He has stated that poverty and disruption of black communities in many US cities and among peoples in Latin America are the result of NAFTA.[25][26]
Foreign policy[edit]
Baraka has been critical of the current interventionist foreign policy,[27] especially intervening for humanitarian reasons.[28]
Baraka has been a vehement critic of Israel. In October 2014, Baraka traveled to the Palestinian territories as part of an 18-member "African Heritage delegation" organized by the Interfaith Peace-Builders group. The delegation issued six "findings and demands" and urged the Congressional Black Caucus to place pressure on Israel.[29] The group specifically called the expansion of Israeli settlements "ethnic cleansing and 21st century colonialism"; called for an end to U.S. aid to Israel; accused Israel of apartheid; and praised the "Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions" movement as "an essential tool in the struggle for Palestinian liberation."[30]
After making the visit, Baraka wrote that "a negotiated, relatively 'peaceful' resolution of the conflict is impossible" because "the Israeli state has no interest in a negotiated settlement with Palestinians."[31] He accused Israel of carrying out what he termed a "brutal occupation and illegal theft of Palestinian land," adding:
During my activist life I have traveled to many of the countries that Western colonial/capitalist leaders characterized as despotic totalitarian states – the old Soviet Union, North Korea, Cuba before 1989 – but in none of those states did I witness the systematic mechanism of population control and scientific repression that I witness in "democratic" Israel. The security walls, towers, checkpoints, and armed settlers created an aura of insecurity and impending assault on one's dignity at any time. I left that space wondering how anyone with a modicum of humanity and any sense of morality could reconcile living in that environment from the spoils of Palestinian dispossession and degradation and how any nation could support the Israeli political project.[31]
Baraka also questioned news stories about the June 2014 kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers, which Israel blamed on Hamas members and which led to Israeli air strikes in the Gaza Strip against Hamas. One month after the kidnappings, which he called a "false flag operation," Baraka indicated in an interview his belief that "the kids were supposed to be kidnapped but they weren't supposed to be murdered. That was an accident. But nevertheless it gave Israel the pretext that they were setting up for, and that was the opportunity to basically attack Hamas in order to destroy the unity government."[32] Two suspects, both members of Hamas, were killed in a shootout with Israeli forces in September 2014, while a third Hamas member was convicted of the murders in January 2015.[33][34]
In March 2015, Baraka condemned Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu's comments on the day of the 2015 Israeli elections. Netanyahu had warned supporters in a video posted to his Facebook page that his government was in danger because "Arab voters are coming out in droves to the polls."[35] Baraka called Netanyahu's words a "racist rant" that exposed "the brutal and immoral reality of the Israeli colonial project" and the "illusion" of a two-state solution.[36]
Syria and Iraq[edit]
Speaking in 2014 on U.S. involvement in Iraq, Baraka characterized U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East over the previous 20 years as "disastrous" and said that "what has occurred in Iraq was predictable."[37]
In a 2014 interview, Baraka stated his belief that the U.S. had a part in creating the "boogeyman" of ISIS "to basically garner significant public support for an argument that says that this monster, these evil forces—that, by the way, we helped to create—we are the only ones that can go in and slay this monster."[38] Baraka has also asserted that the atrocities of the Syrian Civil War are being "fomented by a demented and dying U.S. empire, with the assistance of the royalist monarchies of the Middle East and the gangster states of NATO."[39] In an interview, he has suggested that control of natural resources, such as the proposed Qatar-Turkey and Iran-Iraq-Syria natural gas pipelines, is one of the underlying reasons for U.S. and Turkish interests in the region:
These are not just geopolitical fights based on principle, but these fights are based on real material realities, real material advantages. So you look at the routes of these various pipelines that are being proposed and actually built to bring natural gas from Central Asia to the European markets. Turkey felt that it was in their interest to make sure that they can influence the best deal possible that will allow them to be positioned to take full advantage of these pipelines. That's one of the reasons many people argue that Syria had to go: that when there were proposals to run these natural gas pipelines from Iran through Iraq and through Syria, that it was a direct threat to some of the ambitions that Erdogan has for Turkey.[40]
Baraka has rejected the U.S. position that Syrian president Bashar al-Assad and the 2014 Syrian presidential election are illegitimate. In an article, he wrote that the idea of Assad's illegitimacy had been "carefully cultivated by Western state propagandists and dutifully disseminated by their auxiliaries in the corporate media."[39] He further argued that the election was proof that Syrians have "not surrendered their national sovereignty to the geostrategic interests of the U.S. and its colonial allies in Europe and Israel," and accused the U.S. of hypocrisy for supporting elections in Ukraine but not Syria.[39] United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon criticized Syria's holding of an election during an ongoing civil war for undermining a political solution to the conflict,[41] and the lack of independent election monitoring was widely reported.[42]
Baraka characterized the 2014 Ukrainian revolution as a "U.S.-supported coup" that contained "racist neo-Nazi elements."[43] After the 2014 Odessa clashes, which resulted in the deaths of 42 pro-Russian and six pro-Ukrainian protestors, Baraka wrote that he was "outraged by the murder of people defending their rights to self-determination at the hands of U.S.-supported thugs in Odessa."[44] He has also suggested that the victory of Petro Poroshenko in the 2014 Ukrainian presidential election was illegitimate, questioning "what makes the election in Ukraine legitimate when half of the country boycotts the vote and the national army violently attacks its own citizens in Eastern Ukraine who refused to recognize the legitimacy of the coup-makers in Kiev".[39]
Two days after the event, Baraka expressed his suspicions that the shootdown of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over Ukraine was a "false flag" operation, saying: "Someone wrote about three weeks ago that we should expect a major false flag operation in eastern Ukraine that's going to be then blamed on the Russians. And that's exactly what has happened. They're trying to say in the Western press that the Ukrainian government does not have access to that kind of weaponry, when it's clear that they do."[45][46] He criticized Western media coverage of the event for "undermining anything coming from Russia Today. That's where you see the story being advanced that there is a possibility that this story is a little more complicated than people realize."[47] Baraka also claimed that observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe were "sent in basically as spies who showed up on the scene to quote-unquote 'monitor'."[48]
Baraka has criticized calls for Western military action against the jihadist rebel group Boko Haram, arguing that "a purely military response will only exacerbate an insurgency whose roots lie in the complex socio-historical conditions and internal contradictions of Northeast Nigeria."[49] In May 2014, a month after Boko Haram kidnapped 276 schoolgirls from the northern Nigerian town of Chibok, he expressed skepticism about the official version of events and the number of victims, saying that "even if there was a kidnapping, there's some people who are suggesting that the numbers are in fact inflated."[50] Baraka also stated that while he was "outraged" by the kidnapping, he was also suspicious of U.S. humanitarian concerns in the region: "U.S. policymakers don't give a damn about the schoolgirls in Nigeria because their real objective is to use the threat of Boko Haram in the northern part of the country to justify the real goal of occupying the oil fields in the south and to block the Chinese in Nigeria."[44]
Views on Je suis Charlie movement[edit]
In a January 2015 essay, Baraka described the Republican march in Paris in reaction to the Charlie Hebdo shooting as a "white power march," and the Je suis Charlie movement in general as an "arrogant rallying cry for white supremacy".[51] Baraka condemned what he perceived as the disproportionate interest in the Charlie Hebdo attacks, and the relative lack of interest in the Baga massacre in Nigeria by Boko Haram, which took place days before the Charlie Hebdo shooting and resulted in many more deaths. Baraka also criticized the "degrading ritual" of assimilation that Arabs and Muslims undergo in France, the "arrogant lack of respect for the ideas and culture of non-European peoples" that led to the French ban on face covering in public spaces, and the "racist" and "Islamophobic" character of Charlie Hebdo's recent publications.[51]
Baraka's "Je suis Charlie" article was republished in January 2016 in an anthology about the November 2015 Paris attacks. The book, titled ANOTHER French False Flag? Bloody Tracks from Paris to San Bernadino, was edited by Kevin Barrett, who called himself a Holocaust denier on 1 April 2011[52] and who is called a 9/11 conspiracy theorist.[38] Yair Rosenberg of Tablet described the work as a "veritable who's who of bigots and conspiracy theorists."[53] O'Connor reported Baraka's reply to the accusations of associating with holocaust deniers: "There has never been any question in [my] mind about the genocidal madness of the Nazi Holocaust throughout Europe during the second world war. I abhor and reject any individual or group that fails to understand the tremendous suffering of Jewish people during that dark period."[38]
Charleston massacre[edit]
In an article titled "No 'Je Suis Charleston'?" Baraka contended that a collective response similar to "Je suis Charlie" was absent after the Charleston church shooting at the Emanuel AME Church, and criticized Obama for not calling suspect Dylann Roof a terrorist.[54] As a longtime opponent of the death penalty, Baraka has also criticized the Department of Justice's decision to seek the death penalty for Roof, saying that it "should be seen as no more than another tactical move by the state as part of the last phase of the counterinsurgency launched against the black liberation movement. ... By appealing to African Americans, the group in the country most consistently opposed to the death penalty, state propagandists saw this as a perfect opportunity to undermine opposition to capital punishment and facilitate the process of psychological incorporation."[55]
Politicians and activists[edit]
Barack Obama[edit]
Baraka referred to President Barack Obama as an "Uncle Tom president" because Obama condemned the 2014 riots and violence in Ferguson, Missouri that occurred after the death of Michael Brown.[46][56] Defending his use of the term, Baraka later said that he was speaking to a "specialized audience" and was attempting to "shock people into a more critical look at this individual."[57] Baraka has also argued that Obama has shown "obsequious deference to white power,"[58] and that Obama and Loretta Lynch are members of the "black petit-bourgeoisie who have become the living embodiments of the partial success of the state's attempt to colonize the consciousness of Africans/black people."[59]
Baraka was critical of the Obama administration's decision to not attend the 2009 UN World Conference Against Racism in Geneva.[60] In 2013, Baraka stated that inviting Obama to the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington "should be taken as an insult by everyone who has struggled and continues to struggle for human rights, peace and social justice."[58] More recently, he has argued that "the Obama Administration collaborated with suppressing the 2009 report from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which identified violent white supremacist groups as a threat to national security more lethal than the threat from Islamic 'fundamentalists'."[54]
In an October 2016 interview with The Detroit News, Baraka described Obama as a "moral disaster" and one of "the worst things that has happened to African-American people".[61]
Bernie Sanders[edit]
Baraka referred to the presidential campaign of U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders as "media-driven pseudo-opposition"[21] and "an ideological prop… of the logic and interests of the capitalist-imperialist settler state."[62] In a September 2015 article, Baraka condemned Sanders' foreign policy and his support for continuing Obama's program of drone strikes in Yemen, claiming that "the world that a President Sanders promises" would be one with "continued war crimes from the sky with drone strikes and Saudi-led terror in support of the Western imperial project."[62] Baraka argued that support for Sanders represents "a tacit commitment to Eurocentrism and the assumptions of normalized white supremacy" due to what he perceived as "indifference" to the lives lost during the drone campaign in Yemen.[62]
Bill Clinton[edit]
In June 2016, Baraka criticized the family of Muhammad Ali for inviting Bill Clinton to deliver the boxer's eulogy.[59][63] Baraka described Clinton as a "rapist" and "petty opportunist politician."[59][63]
Cornel West[edit]
In September 2015, Baraka criticized Cornel West for supporting Bernie Sanders, saying that West was "sheep-dogging for the Democrats" by "drawing voters into the corrupt Democratic party".[64] West later endorsed Jill Stein after Sanders endorsed Hillary Clinton.[65][66]
In February 2016, Baraka criticized Beyoncé's performance of her song "Formation" at the Super Bowl 50 halftime show, which featured backup dancers dressed as Black Panthers, claiming that it was a "commodified caricature of black opposition."[21] Baraka derided the performance as "mindless entertainment" and "a depoliticized spectacle by gyrating, light-skinned booty-short-clad sisters."[21] Baraka claimed that the "white male capitalist patriarchy" was responsible for selecting Beyoncé to perform and would not have allowed "anything subversive or even remotely oppositional to the interests of the capitalist oligarchy" on stage.[21]
Awards and recognition[edit]
In 1998, Baraka was one of 300 human rights workers honored by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.[3] In 2001, Baraka was named "abolitionist of the year" by the National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty for his efforts to end the death penalty in the United States.[3][7]
2016 U.S. vice presidential campaign[edit]
On August 1, 2016, Green Party presumptive presidential nominee Jill Stein announced that Baraka would be her running mate.[67] Stein and Baraka were formally nominated by delegates at the 2016 Green National Convention on August 6, 2016.[68] In his acceptance speech, Baraka said that he joined the Green Party effort to "build a multinational movement here in this country based on the needs and the aspirations of working people".[69]

Here's a sample of our volunteer opportunities:VIEW AS
Mission Statement
In situations where children may be at high risk for emotional or physical harm following their parents's separation or divorce, Rally provides a safe, neutral environment with experienced, trained personnel who supervise visits and exchanges between the children and their parents.
Rally provides four services: Monitored exchanges allow for the safe transfer of children between parents whose contact has been highly conflictual. Supervised visitations allow for observation and documentation of the parent-child interaction. Directed Supervised visitations allow for the above, combined with a parent education component.

That's exactly how i do it,except I charge 3.75 a pound. I also get a 250.00 deposit for a quarter and 500.00 for a half, as that's about half the cost for a quarter or a half. Got tired of people backing out at the last minute.

Re: How to price beef?
We sell for $3/lb all day long. Customer pays processor. Family members pay my cost for beef. We've had to turn away people every year even though we continue to add to the feedlot. I'm in a great area for "locally grown beef"

Re: How to price beef?
I have been selling a few halves - $3 to $3.25/lb hanging. They pay cut/wrap/ and 1/2 kill cost. They are putting in orders before I have the next calves weaned. My halves have been about 375#
Mine usually dress about 64% - grain fed, of course.

Diplomacy is Good for Diplomats
There were a couple of back and forths late in the game between the Pulvarizer and me in the comments section of the last post. I didn't respond to his second comment, but will do so now to a portion of it at least, which ran like this:
"So basically what you're saying is we had to invade Iraq, because some day, Saddam may have inflicted harm on US citizens. Then why haven't we invaded countries such as Iran, Syria, North Korea, Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, which currently pose real dangers to the US, based on the same preventive theory? Iran, Syria, and North Korea are active supporters of terrorism, adamantly oppose US interests, and in the case of Iran and N. Korea, have active WMD programs, namely nuclear. Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, while allies in the context of realpolitik, turn blind eyes to large portions of their citizens who partake in anti-American activities and actively support terrorist organizations.
And no good choices? The same paths Bush is pursuing now with regard to Iran and North Korea, (1) patience, (2) gathering significant international support, (3) sanctions, and (4) supporting anti-Iranian groups and nations, were available to Bush with regard to Iraq after 9/11. Not to mention allowing the renewed WMD inspectors enough time to do their job. Surely you can't say Iran appears to pose a lesser threat to US interest now than Iraq did pre-Gulf War II. So then why are we pursuing two very different strategies? The only difference is Bush wanted to appear tough on "terrorism," so he quixotically invades Iraq."
First let me address the "why don't we invade everyone who poses a threat" canard. The answer is two part. First, none of the countries mentioned had repeatedly ignored the UN requirements placed on it, so there was no impetus for action from that standpoint. The UN had an impetus to act, but instead kept re-drawing the line, saying sternly again - "if you cross that line, something really bad is going to happen, like us drawing another line further back." Bush said - enough of the games - we could afford to screw around with guys like you prior to 9/11, but the cost of doing so has risen significantly. So you're done.
Still, taking the Pulvarizer's point, why limit pre-emption to the one case in which there was a history of efforts to bring a regime in line that continued to violate UN requirements? Why not unilaterally go after some of them? In one obvious case, that of North Korea, the reason is this - we know they already have nuclear weapons, so the human cost of taking these guys out is likely to be far far higher than those incurred in Iraq. There is an obvious tradeoff - when the costs to correct the problem are likely to be very steep, you play the waiting game. The same will be true for Iran in short order.
Syria - well, I don't know what to say about them other than that we probably should bomb the shit out of them. The difference there may be that we felt like we had ties to opposition groups in Iraq that would enable us to fill the vacuum (which, contrary to the Pulvarizer, has been more successful than he will acknowledge), and maybe we have no such ties in Syria. As for Pakistan, Mushareff has probably risked more than anyone in supporting the US in the war on terror. With Saudi Arabia, although they have tolerated anti-Americanism, they have also tolerated us, giving us a military foothold in the region; in addition,that regime is making itself more democratic, which is a hopeful sign of progress that could abet the anti-Americanism.
Finally, the paths that we are pursuing now with respect to Korea and Iran, those of "(1) patience, (2) gathering significant international support, (3) sanctions, and (4) supporting anti-Iranian groups and nations", which "were available to Bush with regard to Iraq after 9/11" will go absolutely nowhere. In fact, Korea got their nukes that way in the first place, and Iran will not be deterred from getting theirs in this way as well. You'll never get the support of China and Russia, because of their own self-interest, just as we didn't get that of France and Germany for the same reason with respect to Iraq. In the case of Iran, we'll be forced to cross our fingers like we do with North Korea, and as we did for decades with the Soviet Union (and are about to do again with Russia).
And as for sanctions, I'd like to remind the readers that there were significant sentiments to lift the sanctions on Iraq, which we were told were leading to 100,000 deaths per year, far in excess of the number of innocent Iraqis being killed as a result of the war. These 100K were in addition to those who over the years were gased or tortured by Saddam and Co., and were supposed to be deaths that stemmed from the impact on the economy from the sanctions. Of course, we had a program in place to stem that problem in the "Oil for Food" program, but apparently the "food" mentioned was mostly fois gras being eaten by bribed Frenchmen, as well as the son of the UN Secratary General. Meanwhile the people of Iraq ate cake.

Hotel Shopping in Lagos
Hello everyone,
I am planning to visit Lagos in the summer on a budget :-). Was wondering what hotels are decent, clean, safe, reliable, and not over $ Protected content per night if possible (I can see budgeting up to $100 per night but ouch; the cheaper the better). Also, was wondering if there is such a thing as weekly rental deals. I need to be able to send a copy of a hotel reservation to the Nigerian consulate to get a visitor visa. So, it would have to be a hotel I can book online.
I would appreciate any advice.
Thank you in advance,

I can't tell you how excited I am to have this girl be a part of my team! I met Kalli about a year ago at our old church and we hit it off and bonded over our pregnancy. We have been friends all year but have recently become extremely close. We are constantly laughing, sharing experiences with our growing 5 and 6 month old baby boys and are always talking about life, our dreams and our passion for our maker, Jesus Christ. She is a huge encouragment to my life. I never expected to be this close and can honestly say she is one of my best friends. Make sure you check out the video at the bottom of the page that fills you in on what Kalli will be doing for boldboudoir!
There is a reason we're photographers and not videographers! Please excuse our ghostly, slightly cross eyed goofiness in this lil video we put together for you! =D

text: That's the problem...Christians shouldn't be looking for who best represents their values. They should be looking at who represents GOD's values. No one fits that description perfectly, but there is always one who is much closer than another. A candidate who rejects godly principles should not receive a Christian vote. The Bible is full of political references about how God responds to nations who honor Him or reject Him. It is our God-given responsibility to stand up for what is right, and specifically for those who cannot speak for themselves. If someone does not want to attend a church that speaks the truth, it is because they fear conviction, and know that they are choosing the world above God.

Have you ever noticed how once you start thinking about something or reading something new you start seeing connections all over the place? I'm having that with the Nordic Challenge right now and I thought I would share the link love. I will be doing this every so often during the year.
A tonne of reviews for Three Seconds by Roslund and Hellström have popped up in my reader in the last few days. With them have also been a couple of giveaways. There is also an article in the New York Times that might be worth a read.
Reviews from:
- S.Krishna (also a giveaway)
- Man of la Book (also a giveaway)
- Rundpinne
Roxelana has a great post up reviewing BBC4s Nordic Noir. There is some great information there about Nordic crime fiction.
For those of you who like (or who want to dip your toe in for the first time) Nordic crime fiction I highly recommend the blog Euro Crime as a great resource.
Zoe at Playing by the Book has had some great posts about Finland lately. They are primarily for families with children but they are well worth a look! I love her blog and if you have children I really recommend poking around as she has some awesome resources and ideas.
If anyone else has more links (things you've seen or reviews you've written) that fall into the realm of the Nordic Challenge please share in the comments!
In other news: Thesis is DONE, or at least done enough that I can defend it on the 18th. I start my first teaching job tomorrow and I am assuming that I will need some time to get settled into that. I have gotten my reading mojo back though so hopefully I will start writing reviews again. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) I've managed to choose some chunksters to start the year off, but I am making progress. And I am really enjoying what I am reading.

Professor, Department of Pediatrics (General Pediatrics)
Laurie J Bauman, Ph.D., a sociologist, is a tenured Professor of Pediatrics and the Director of the Preventive Intervention Research Center (PIRC). She has been Principal Investigator of multiple NIH-funded studies that apply social science theory to the prevention of mental and physical health conditions in children, adolescents and their parents. For the past 10 years Dr. Bauman has been studying health disparities in children and youth, with special attention on adolescent sexual risk behavior and child/adolescent mental health. With her colleagues at the PIRC, she has developed and tested 6 interventions using randomized controlled trial (RCT) designs to identify strategies that are successful in reducing HIV/STI transmission. Dr. Bauman has examined service learning (that gives teens the opportunity to teach other teens what they learned about safer sex); gender norms (to help teens understand how gender norms influence risk); and relationship characteristics (so teens recognize that being in love and trusting one¹s partner are associated with stopping condom use).
Dr. Bauman is currently Principal Investigator on an NICHD-funded 2-group randomized trial to assess the effectiveness of Project Prepared, an HIV/STI prevention program for young people aged 12-14. She is also PI of an NIMHD-funded project "Bronx Youth as Partners in Community Based Participatory Research" which is a teen-led partnership of adults and teens from the Bronx community. The community partners, Bronx teens aged 13-17 years, evaluated 6 health disparities and selected mental health to focus on. Together with adult partners, they developed a preventive mental health intervention called "BxThunder" which is currently being tested in an RCT with 720 youth in 5 community settings. Seventeen Bronx agencies were involved in BxThunder; they were drawn from the membership of the Bronx Youth as Partners community coalition, which includes over 50 organizational partners.
In addition, Dr. Bauman is also the PI (New York site) of a 9-city initiative that is funding CFARS to assist local Departments of Health to implement the President¹s National AIDS Prevention Plan. The New York site of ECHPP (The Enhanced Comprehensive HIV Prevention Planning and Implementation for Metropolitan Statistical Areas Most Affected by HIV/AIDS²) is focusing on improving linkage and engagement in care of newly diagnosed HIV positive individuals.
Dr.Bauman has been elected to the American Pediatrics Society and the New York Academy of Medicine; was the recipient of the Lela Rowland award from the National Mental Health Association and the 2008 Public Health Community Award from the Public Health Association of New York City; was Associate Editor of The Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics; and currently serves on the Joint Executive Committee of the Einstein-Montefiore Institutional Review Board.

Aurangzeb Farooqi and Khadim Dhilloon are those two hatemongering ringleaders of banned Sipah-e-Sahaba (ASWJ) who met Saudi official Abdul Rahman Bin Abdullah al Zaid. Fazlur Rehman Khalil, leader of banned Ansar ul Ummah (Harkat ul Ansar) hosted the dinner reception in honour of Saudi official in Islamabad.
Federal interior ministry failed to take any action against the banned outfits and their ringleaders who continued their activities despite the fact that the State of Pakistan has imposed a ban on them because of their involvement in terrorism.
They were not only encouraged to hold public meetings but now they were allowed to host foreign official in Islamabad. Neither the government lodged protest with the Saudi embassy over meeting of a Saudi official with the banned terrorist outfits' leaders nor took any action against the banned outfits' leaders.
ASWJ is mother organization of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and both of them are mother of all terrorism in Pakistan since 1980s.
