From my journal and letters, my dispatches from the field while I continue my photographic project about internally expelled Palestinian refugees in the West Bank and Gaza (once I can enter Gaza), plus their ancestral homelands. Here in Palestine-Israel thru July 10, 2019.
Special note: World Refugee Day, June 20, 2019
No, they [the Palestinians] were made voiceless, they were muted. Our job is to de-mute them.
—Dr. Mads Gilbert, the Norwegian surgeon famous for his work in Gaza in 2008 and 2014 and for his painfully graphic books, Eyes in Gaza and Night in Gaza, quoted by Dr. Alice Rothchild
Sheik Jarrah is a Palestinian neighborhood immediately north of main East Jerusalem, threatened by Zionist settlers who claim historical possession of this neighborhood. Supported by Israeli military and police they attempt to expel Palestinians living there for decades and move into their homes. Among the leaders of the resistance, Nabeel Al-Kurd and Mohammed Sabagh
May 31, 2019, Friday, Palestine-Israel, Jerusalem, Old City, Austrian Hospice
Dream notes:
I stood with a crowd during a protest. We knocked on the door of the organization we were focused on, a solid steel reinforced door with a glass window itself reinforced with metal strands embedded in it. Suddenly a rock hit the window, causing minor damage because of the window's construction. I said, or thought to myself, oh no, now the tear gas, now the rubber covered metal bullets, now the live fire.
Much like Palestine-Israel, obviously, but not specifically declared in the dream.
I dreamt this during another early morning HOW (Hour of the Wolf—partial wakefulness that can be either terrifying or revelatory), beginning around 4 am, call to prayer time, and lasting until I rose 2 hours later. Despite my apparent sleep loss, I usually don't feel any more fatigued than usual thru the day, even with the heat. But perhaps the sleep loss will catch up with me and I'll collapse.
Yesterday some good news, the news I've been waiting for. To my beloved cyber support committee, Susan D, JVB, George Cap:
meet nabeel and mohammed of sheik jarrah:
with great joy i share with you the first two human beings i've been able to photograph for my project. they live now in east jerusalem, a neighborhood called sheik jarrah, long under attack by jewish israelis who attempt to forcibly expel these legal residents and take over their homes. jvb [who may have visited the neighborhood on one of his two trips here] can fill you in probably. i've long followed this story, know elements of it, but today, a mere 2 hrs ago, i met these two stalwart "guardian" residents, nabeel al kurd and mohammed sabagh, thanks to amal t, a jewish israeli who works for an international ngo here and reminded me about nabeel (who i've visited several times in years past), and told me about mohammed.)
up to this point, 2 wks into my 8 wk exploration, i've had tremendous problems locating people to photograph. and they are dying off rapidly, having been born prior to 1947-48, the yrs of nakba, the palestinian catastrophe.
photos enclosed.
I am rocketedly ecstatic, beholden to Amal T who spurred me into action. On my last visit (I believe) I tried to meet Nabeel Al -Kurd again. His wife said he was out. He didn't answer his phone. We'd first met many years ago, and I returned for a second visit which I dimly recall was with some of his family discussing family business. I recall a beautiful woman, I photographed freely. My two recent interviews went very well. Both men are much practiced in the art of storytelling, their own stories which they know well. Visitors like Christian Peace Team CPT) delegations often meet them. In fact, Esther K, leader of many CPT delegations, visited Nabeel recently. She'd thanked me for telling her about him last year and the delegation visited then.
Not expecting to interview anyone yesterday, I did not bring my Tascam recorder. Luckily I had my phone, and, recalling SF's suggestion last year, I could use it to record the interview. Worked perfectly, as far as I can tell. Nabeel and I sat outside beside the small house he'd constructed to expand his original dwelling, which had been provided by Jordan in the 1950s because of his refugee status. He told me Israel has never allowed him to live in this addition, claiming he built without a permit, a permit impossible to attain. A "big" (meaning fat) Zionist Israeli from New York City, maybe the head of local settler security, stays there overnight to protect the small occupied building from Zionist youth who allegedly use it for alcohol, drugs, prostitution, and other unsavory purposes (so claim Nabeel and later Mohammed), arriving late in the evening, leaving late in the morning. I'd love to meet this fat Zionist, interview and photograph him. I'll leave Nabeel's full story until later. I could do an entire project about Sheik Jarrah, perhaps living in a tent outside N's home because, altho he might wish to host me, his space is tiny, his family large.
The first occupants of his confiscated building were a family. I believe he said when the family realized the reality of the confiscation they left. Brothers came in. And then the young, more extreme men with good body builds (how many were from the USA?) Across the street, the settlers consist of several families.
Discussing my prior work on the refugee theme, he brought out the book, All That Remains, The Palestinian Villages Occupied and Depopulated by Israel in 1948, in Arabi, by Walid Khalidi, which I remembered to include in some photos. While I interviewed Mohammed, Nabeel looked thru the book, as if a bible for refugees.

I guess I should call this a good holiday, since I have not touched my computer in over a week. We have been spending Christmas week on the beach in Cairn, and done some nice day trips which I will write about later on. However, I feel it was time to post some pictures from Sydney. I actually found the city quite intriguing – much similarity to London and the UK (not a surprise), but also New York, or East Coast US at least and Singapore. Such an unusual mix, but so obvious. I did a photography walk one morning, starting at 6 and ending around 9 am. I am actually quite pleased with the route and what I got out of it, so I thought it would be nice to share it with you.

Streets of London
This weekend I have been editing photos from our summer road trip to London and beyond. God I miss summer. However, browsing these pics made me think about something – I really love the streets of London. They are lovely, quaint, messy, noisy, crowded and relaxed at the same time – alive! And this week, I thought I would share some of my favorite London streets with you. Its going to be a lot of pictures, and little or no text. But sometimes that's just how it is. A picture will tell more than a thousand words. Enjoy! Continue reading "Streets of London"
In the Cradle of Brutalist Architecture
This summer, I have become nerdy about architecture. Not that I know anything about it, but I have expanded from food and wine pictures to buildings (still in the category of things that don't move). So for our summer road-trip, M planned a quick stop in Rotterdam, the cradle of experimental and brutalist architecture. And we had a blast. Not only did I enjoy running around with my camera (I was so distracted that I walked into a pole), M and our travel companion P, were pleased with the coffee and food offering. I can warmly recommend Rotterdam as a weekend destination. Continue reading "In the Cradle of Brutalist Architecture"
Helsinki Summer City
Two weeks ago, I was still clutching on to my winter coat – today the sun is warming the city like its July. The change in weather during the past few weeks has been phenomenal. Everyone hopes it will last through the coming months, and signify the best summer known in decades, but we all know it won't. I am a realist, and by midsummer the cold will be back. But, that's the wonderful thing in the Nordics: a beautiful day and everyone forgets they had a thousand things to do. We Finns run out to bathe in the uncommon warmth of the sun as if it the only day of the summer. Live in the moment – fantastic! I celebrated the weather with a nice photo-walk, and I found some novel places, that I am very happy to recommend to you. Continue reading "Helsinki Summer City"
Wineweek 168: Whats new in Singapore
Here I am, back at home in Stockholm. It's dark and minus degrees Celsius – the opposite to warm and colorful Singapore. How many times I thought while walking on the streets of the city state, how nice the warm and humid air feels on my skin. Yet this is home – arctic Sweden. But before the blog returns to the Nordics, I thought I would recap our week in the tropics. There were a few new places I can really recommend. Continue reading "Wineweek 168: Whats new in Singapore"
Wineweek 147: August Favorites in Helsinki
This is one of those rare days I have almost nothing to say. Rare! No special reason, but compared to a summer on the move, its been very quiet for the past two weeks. I could mention the Santa Barbara Chardonnay that we had a week ago, or the rooftop bar I visited on Wednesday, but instead, I chose to add some photos from my quick trip to Helsinki a week and a half ago. They give a nice reminder that it is still summer, and life should be a little bit slow. Here are a few August favorites from Helsinki. Continue reading "Wineweek 147: August Favorites in Helsinki"
Wineweek 140: Ja Må Du Leva Idag
Ja må du leva idag means live today in Swedish. Its the perfect phrase to describe this weekend in Stockholm. We were supposed to stay in, work, clean and organize stuff; maybe drink some wine and catch up on sleep. The weather forecast was promising rain, so why make plans. Well, the weather man was wrong. The weekend was Goddamn beautiful, and against all sense of responsibility and looming deadlines, I threw all my papers in the air and sprinted out into the welcoming Stockholm sun. As you can see from the pictures, it was worth it! Continue reading "Wineweek 140: Ja Må Du Leva Idag"
Wineweek 139: Midsummer in Krakow
Midsummer in the Nordics is a festival of light. It is the longest day of the year, and in the north, people can even enjoy a midnight sun. Now that it is over days will start becoming shorter again. Contrary to its name, Midsummer is actually just the start of the real summer here in Sweden. July and August are the warmest months of the year, and also when most people take their summer holiday. We will both be working though, so that we can take our holiday during our annual Christmas escape to Asia. *sigh*. But that is still far away. Luckily we got some holiday while spending Midsummer in warm and cozy Krakow. Here are some pictures and highlight from our trip. Continue reading "Wineweek 139: Midsummer in Krakow"
Wineweek 138: Wine and Architecture in Vasastan
Our holiday in Hong Kong has long passed, but luckily June in Sweden is keeping us in the right mood for summer. Traditionally June temperatures are unstable and risk for rain (snow) is high. This weekend the weather has been perfect: plus 26 to 28 degrees Celsius with some warm winds. I set out on a walk towards Vasastan , a nice part of the city with lots of parks, small shops and cafes; and wine bars of course. Continue reading "Wineweek 138: Wine and Architecture in Vasastan"

Winstrol cycle for weight loss
Both injectable and oral Anadrol can deliver extraordinary results but should be coupled with testosterone to prevent dramatic loss of weight once the cycle stops. Treatment with oral and injectable testosterone should be considered only if you: Are a male who has previously taken testosterone – your partner should know what dose to inject you You do not have any other risk factors for male infertility, or if you already have a female partner - see our section above: Male fertility and female partner fertility Male fertility and female partner fertility What If I'm Not Pregnant?

In many studies there have been methodological problems, including small sample sizes or different methods of assessment, and studies have sometimes considered a small, heterogeneous group (e.g. males of Asian or Asian-American origin) as a control group. While these problems have resulted in relatively slight improvements in sexual function for such a small group, there is not enough evidence to suggest they are worth reporting in general practice guidelines, sarms for fat loss and muscle gain. One study which found that testosterone could treat the symptoms of paraphilia in women has not found an improvement in male sexual function compared to placebo. An article published in the Journal of the American Medical Association that compared testosterone to placebo in the treatment of sexual dysfunction in older men found no improvement in sexual dysfunction, and that the use of testosterone in the treatment of sexual dysfunction in young men was associated with an increase in risk of cancer of the testes, and an increase in risk of prostate cancer in this group. In contrast there is little evidence for the effectiveness of testosterone in treating male erectile dysfunction, do collagen peptides help weight loss.

Empire State is a stylised, tough-talking British lilm noir set in London's East End where the activities at the wide boys, male prostitutes and yuppie business tolk are seen as some kind at microcosm lor events in Thatcher's Britain. It is a glossy, ambitious lilm that interweaves several stories and marks a considerable step forward tor its director Ron Peck.
A graduate ol the London Film School, Peck is best known tor the independent gay teature Nighthawks (1978) and the subversiver comic short What Can I Do With A Male Nude? (1985). Empire State has occupied him and his partner Mark Ayres tor the past three years and marks a hard lought move into mainstream teatures. 'Films like LetterTo Brezhnev and Mona Lisa have only come about in the last eighteen months, two years, and when we started there was an enormous resistance to making a contemporary tilm,' Peck explains. 'At one point we thought we had raised all the tinance and a section at the money tell away, so it was a battle. Initially we were prompted by a sense at things changing in the East End; that the old gangland image was being turned into some smart, American-style images and there was the extraordinary contradiction ol being able to walk all the street at some rundown estate into something like a Manhattan nightclub. Then that seemed symbolic ol the rapid changes in Britain as a whole; the drive tortitness, expensive clothes, the whole designer ethos which might be some kind at tacelitt to conceal everything that was still crumbling underneath.'
As Empire State evolved, Peck saw some three hundred actors over a period ol lour months in a search tor 'Fresh laces and new people without past associations.' Picking the cream at the crop he used improvisational workshop as a testing ground tor the actors to explore their characters and contribute to the development at the script. Lee Drysdale's excellent depiction ol the wily rent boy Johnny was one character to emerge lrom this process. 'Improvisation tests something other than ability,' Peck

believes, 'and it's not something that everyone does well. It depends on the actor's grasp ot a character so he leels able to react as that character to anything that may happen. Once lilming began we kept to what was scripted because the schedule was tight. Improvising is not something l've wholly got to grips with but I would like to try and take it lurther, it's just that in England the written word is still so sacrosant.'
To balance the youth and inexperience ot the majority at his players, Peck cast veterans Martin Landau and Bay McAnally in key roles as an American businessman and an elder statesman ol the East End gangs. 'The two older characters had to have a weight and a history at experience. Martin was incredible because he knew the smallest technique down to where

Depending onthe linancial viability 01 Empire State, Peck has clear aspirations tor the luture at his company Team Pictures. 'Empire State is a declaration at what we want to do; tough, contemporary lilms that express as much visually as through the script. In Britain the emphasis is still on the written word and we teel that the placing ot the camera, the use at colour or music is just as important trom a tilm's very conception. lt Empire State succeeds then I want to make lilms with the emphasis much less on the dialogue.' ,

As the temp increases, so does your air conditioning bills. To keep your cooling costs controlled you may be asking yourself, is it cheaper to leave your AC on all day in the summer in Milledgeville and Middle Georgia?
It's a common belief that turning your AC on and off throughout the day is inefficient. This is actually a myth.
Keeping your AC on all the time means you're not using it very efficiently. We recommend adjusting your thermostat higher when you're elsewhere, and turning it back down when you get back. You can achieve this with a programmable thermostat. Or, a smart thermostat will do the work for you.
It's far more laborious for your system to keep a consistent setting all day long. It can also result in a lot of strain on your air conditioner, since it's constantly turning on and off.
So, on top of it increasing your utility bills, it can also result in a shortened life cycle for your air conditioner.
In any case, the larger the difference between your house's temperature and the outside temperature, the higher your AC bills will be. So, what can you do to remain cool and keep your utility bills down in the summer? Here are our tips based on recommendations from the U.S Department of Energy (DOE) and ENERGY STAR®.
No one enjoys seeing their air conditioning bill increase during the warmer months. If you're wanting more ways to keep your energy usage and bills low this summer, our pros can help. Give us a call at 478-200-5689 or contact us online now for additional info.

Samsung Galaxy Ace Format or Hard Reset Guide
Hard Resetting Galaxy Ace
I am going to show you how to reset your Galaxy Ace mobile in a simple and straight forward way. For the sake of convenience I have wrote it as a step by step guide.
When your phone is sowing constant problems like getting slower or frequent hang ups, and then it would be better to format it.
Are your apps are often crashing when this apps were running smoothly a few months ago? Then by formatting you can be freed from this problem too.
Why Your Ace becomes Slow?
Every Android phone like a PC tends to keep junk files in the system. Applications keep records, logs, crash reports and such things in the phone system areas. The Operating System itself is also responsible for such things.
Moreover, different type of installed, uninstalled apps leave foot-mark inside your phones system files. Bloat wares, Ad wares and Malwares also entangle the OS and as a result your phone becomes slow and unresponsive.
If you format it, then the device will delete all the information and files gathered over the years. It will be gone to its factory setting, the pure, clean and innocence self.
Step by Step Guide for Hard Resetting the Galaxy Ace
Just follow the instructions on your phone to format it:
1) Find out the Menu option on the main home screen.
2) Tap Settings.
3) Find out and select Privacy
4) Now tap Factory Data Reset
5) Enter the password.
6) Confirm format.
7) The process will be started. Now wait for some time for the completion of the formatting.
Format by Code
There is a much simpler way to do it on the Ace. If you dial certain numbers then the process will start from the home screen.
You can soft-reset your phone by dialing *#7780#. It will alter all the manual settings to the original factory setting. As for instance, the display brightness will be the same as it was when you first bought the phone. The volume, the equalizer settings, camera settings etc all will return to the factory setting. It can solve many minor problems of your phone.
But, it will not delete any system data. So, major problems will not be solved. To make the phone faster and solving major issues you need to put the code *2767*3855# for hard-reset.
What to do if Your Phone is Frozen?
It was the case of my coworker Samir. He has a shiny new Galaxy Ace where he often brings in many apps and games from the Play Store. Last Friday, he came to me panting and said: "My phone is dead!"
Yes, his phone was frozen. He was playing Temple Run 2 and the monkey demon was about to catch the running coward. But there were no response from the phone. I opened the battery to turn it off. Then, when I restarted the phone there was a white screen only! A white screen of death!
So, I did the 3rd option. It is the last weapon for you if you have fallen in a similar situation. I had opened the battery again. Then reinserted it and held the Vol Up,Home and Power button simultaneously.
When you do this you shall see a menu. In this menu you can use the volume button to select options. No touch screen will work here. Now select "Wipe data / factory reset" option. It will format your phone and you shall be freed from all problems.

Critical reading
Consider the first few chapters of Hill House. Jackson begins her novel with one of the most famous and haunting lines in gothic literature: "No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream" (1). Many gothic novels hover along the line between reality and non-reality (that is, dreams, or the supernatural). Our heroine, Eleanor, is introduced as a rather dreamy young woman who, unlike Gilman's narrator, who avoids "romantic felicity," cannot help but fantasize and imagine other lives for herself. In at least 300 words, perform a close reading of a passage in relation to 'absolute reality' and the conditions of the Female Gothic outlined by Davison.
Your goals are to:
- Generate an arguable and rhetorically-focused claim – the more original and complex, the better;
- Select, quote, and analyze productive evidence from your primary source;
- Select, quote, and analyze productive ideas from your secondary source (Davison);
- Organize your ideas in a logical and persuasive order;
- Craft clear and sophisticated prose, appropriate for an academic context.
Your response must be at least 300 words.

Tommy Fleetwood's caddie has moment to forget at WGC-HSBC Champions
Tommy Fleetwood's caddie Ian Finnis has moment to forget as he fails to stop ball rolling back into water hazard… despite being married to a former England goalkeeper!
- Tommy Fleetwood got in a spot of bother at the 14th at WGC-HSBC Champions
- Englishman was forced to take a drop shot beside a water hazard on the par 5
- Caddie Ian Finnis was in place to stop it rolling back in, but failed to stop it
- To make matters worse for Finnis, his wife is former England star Rachel Brown
Tommy Fleetwood's caddie may take a while to live down his lack of shot-stopping ability on the European Tour after an embarrassing moment at the WGC-HSBC Champions.
Fleetwood found himself in a water hazard at the 14th in Shanghai and was forced to take a drop.
Given the relatively simple task of keeping the ball out of the water once more, Ian Finnis somehow let it roll back into the pond, much to the amusement of everyone watching.
Tommy Fleetwood was forced to take a drop shot at the par 5 14th hole in Shanghai
His caddie, Ian Finnis, was in place to stop the ball rolling back into the water hazard
But Finnis failed to stop the ball from returning to the water at the WGC-HSBC Champions
Oh Fino ??
Back to the training ground, right @rach_brown1? pic.twitter.com/VjWhT0S9QD
To make matters worse for Finnis, he is married to former England and Everton goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis, making it clear who wears the gloves in their relationship.
Flagging up the gaffe to his wife, The European Tour Twitter account posted the clip online along with the caption: 'Oh Fino! Back to the training ground, right @rach_brown1?'
Fleetwood saw the funny side of it, grinning as he went back to his bag along with Finnis to search for another ball.
Finnis is married to the former England and Everton goalkeeper Rachel Brown-Finnis
The smile was soon wiped off his face however, as he three-putted on the green to lose ground at the top of the leaderboard.
Despite the setback, the 27-year-old is still well placed going into the final day at the Sheshan Golf Club.
The Englishman, who has four tour victories to his name, is tied fifth, five shots behind the leader, American Tony Finau.
Compatriot Justin Rose is just three shots behind Finau, joint second alongside Xander Schauffele and Patrick Reed.
Fleetwood three-putted the 14th and is now five points off the lead going in to the final day
It could have been so much better for the 38-year-old, having turned in 33 to open up a one-shot lead
However Rose, who could move back to the top of the world rankings with a win, dropped three shots on the final two holes.
Meanwhile, Rory McIlroy's problems continued with a 75 and the four-time Major champion is tied for 60th on eight over.

IZA DP No. 8204: The Effects of the Great Recession on Teenagers' Risky Health Behaviors and Time Use
published as 'Teenagers' Risky Health Behaviors and Time Use During the Great Recession' in: Review of Economics of the Household, 2017, 15(3), 945–964, https://doi.org/10.1007.s1150-015-9297-6
This paper uses individual-level data from both the 2003-2011 American Time Use Survey and Youth Risk Behavior Survey and state-level unemployment rates to examine the effects of the Great Recession on teenagers' activities. I present results by gender and gender by race/ethnicity. Over the period, I find changes in sexual activity for males associated with changes in time spent with parents; but results vary significantly by race. In addition, Hispanic males gained weight during the recession, due perhaps to a decrease in time spent playing sports. Hispanic females, on the other hand, made greater educational investments while spending less time working. All females significantly decreased TV viewing during the Great Recession. However, there were signs that female teenagers were stressed as they slept less and were more likely to smoke regularly.

Chelsea 4-1 Cardiff City
Chelsea romped to victory over Cardiff in a game with more crazy moments than your overage Marx Brothers flick.
In 90 minutes that provided outstanding value for the thrill-seeker: Blues went behind, grabbed and utterly bizarre equaliser, a striking debut second, a world-class third, and a sublime fourth.
Were that not enough, the TV cameras had their fill: with Jose Mourinho sent to the stands, where he sat – looking for all the world like he was sucking on lemons.
At kick off, nobody could have forecast this turn of events. The score, maybe, but not how we got there.
Ten minutes on the clock, and Cardiff keeper David Marshall went route one: hoofing the ball up-field, and watching the chaos that followed.
Ryan Bertrand, in for the injured Ashley Cole, miss-cued his clearance, Ramires made a right-royal howler, and David Luiz just watched as Jordon Mutch put the ball away.
This wasn't going according to plan.
Chelsea tried their own bit of long-ball: thumping it into the Cardiff box from distance at all angles.
One attempt, scooped out of the air right on the edge of the box by Marchall, led to claims of handball by the keeper. But replays show the ref got it right: the retreating goalie playing catch right on the very line.
It was a bit of this, shall we say 'earthy' football, that led to Blues equaliser.
On 33 minutes Marshall bounced the ball for a goal kick: seemingly unaware of the looming presence of Samuel Eto'o behind. The Cameroonian nipped in on a bounce, nicked the ball, and squared to Eden Hazard on the left.
Hazard (pictured), perhaps showing good manners for the unlikely assist, passed back: only for Eto'o produce an utterly lacklustre shot – easily blocked. It spilled to Hazard, who buried it to level the scores, and end one of the most bizarre five-second sequences Stamford Bridge has ever seen. And there have been a few.
The second half fell into a bit of a malaise, after the strangeness of the first.
Cardiff, out to waste time from the 10 minute, finally saw yellow for it: in the form of Marshall's umpteenth offence.
Mourinho, seeing a winnable match, played his favourite hand: left back off, striker on. Fernando Torres joined Eto'o up top, and Betrand took to the bench.
The revolution took two minutes and 28 seconds: Hazard squaring a ball in the Cardiff penalty area for Eto'o to wrong-foot Steven Caulker, and put away for his debut Chelsea goal.
Another two minutes and 48 seconds and it was all back to normal: a jubilant Eto'o taken off, for right back Cesar Azpiliqueta.
Less jubilant was Mourinho: whose protests to the ref about a seemingly random Cardiff indiscretion saw him sent to the stands.
He found a seat in with the supporters a dozen rows back from the dugout. "He sits where he wants," sang the Chelsea fans – Mourinho managed to pucker a grimace.
In his absence, the clown cars of the first half were replaced with a steam-roller.
With 12 minutes of the 90 to play Oscar netted one of those 'worldy' goals he seems to keep in his pocket. Lofting it from the edge of the box, the ball dipped behind the keeper and into the net.
And, a mere four minutes later Hazard made it four: tying his man in knots, before picking a gap between Marshall's hands through which to score.
Just another quiet afternoon at Stamford Bridge, then. Move along now – nothing to see...

Kerry Tracks Life Through East Berlin, Vietnam, and Syria
"The world today is a much more complicated world than the world my parents grew up in, the world that I grew up in, and we need to adjust to to that."
October 27, 2016
Secretary of State John Kerry discussed the importance of foreign engagement in Mandel Hall on Wednesday.
The discussion was moderated by Walter Isaacson, President of the Aspen Institute and former editor of Time. Outside of the auditorium, Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP) members protested the event.
Kerry began by discussing his early exposure to the value of American investment in the future of foreign countries. While living as the child of a Foreign Service officer in West Berlin during the height of the Cold War, Kerry said he grew curious about the differences between the east and west.
One day, Kerry recalled, he used his diplomatic passport to visit East Berlin. Upon entering the Soviet sector, he said he sensed danger.
"I noticed it was dark, and foreboding, and very few cars, and people were dressed in much darker clothes and there were far fewer people walking around the street. I felt this ominous sense of danger," Kerry said, adding that he was grounded by his father when he returned home.
The Secretary said that the United States' strong economy during the post-World-War-II era enabled it to aid in the reconstruction of Germany, the rest of Europe, and Japan. Describing this period of foreign engagement as one of the greatest American foreign policy feats, Kerry claimed it helped establish a foundation for modern day democracies.
Citing the influence of technology, Kerry said that the world today is more interconnected than ever before. Kerry described this time as a "moment of profound transformation," singling out artificial intelligence as the next frontier.
"The world today is a much more complicated world than the world my parents grew up in, the world that I grew up in, and we need to adjust to that, to recognize that. We need to move decisions faster. We need to be bolder. We need to be more engaged, not less engaged with the world, because, I'll tell you, there's no 'over there' anymore. Everyone's connected. Anything that can happen that's in a place you call 'over there' can happen in your backyard," Kerry said.
Transitioning the conversation from diplomacy to diplomacy backed by force, Isaacson asked whether President Barack Obama's decision to not use force in Syria has been a mistake. In a tape leaked to CNN earlier this month, Kerry can be heard telling a group of Syrian civilians that he "lost the argument" within the administration about the use of force in the country. Kerry answered by describing the situation in Syria as "gigantically complicated," and rejecting the notion that Obama backtracked on his word. The President turned to Congress for authorization of the use of military force against the Syrian government, Kerry said, but could not acquire a sufficient number of votes.
In response to a question about how his experience in the Vietnam War has influenced his career, the Secretary said leaders failed to comprehend that what was occurring in Vietnam was a civil war: a fight for unification, national identity, and ideology.
"Make sure that you're not guilty of doing the same thing, falling into old patterns of thinking that put other generations in harm's way," Kerry said.
The discussion was subsequently opened up to students to ask the Secretary questions, with subjects ranging from the departure of American combat troops from Iraq to the ways in which climate change will be a challenge to his successor.
A student asked Kerry whether America would move toward restraint and retire its title as "the world's policeman," to which the Secretary responded that the U.S. has a critical role in making the world safer, not by "policing" but by engaging.
Kerry stated that he is wary of labeling intervention to stop human rights violations or to protect national security, as "policing" given that these matters are necessary for the advancement of American values. Kerry cited freedom of navigation in the South China Sea and the withdrawing of chemical weapons from Syria as examples of foreign engagement successes.
"We're not exceptional because we sit around and beat our chests…we're exceptional when we do exceptional things, which is usually," Kerry said.

Russia can dodge any proposed US sanctions by switching to other currencies and creating its own payment system, Putin's economic advisor Sergei Glazyev said Tuesday. A senior Kremlin official has denounced Glazyev's remark on US-Russia economic ties, calling them "a personal opinion" inconsistent with the Kremlin stance.
This comes amid US threats to pile sanctions on Russia over its stand on the Ukrainian coup. US Senate is currently debating possible measures against Moscow.
Senator Christ Murphy, the chairman of the Senate's Europe subcommittee, said lawmakers were considering such options as imposing sanctions on Russia's banks and freezing assets of Russian public institutions and private investors.
Sergei Glazyev told reporters today Russia would have to switch to other currencies to curb its dependence on the United States.
"We have wonderful economic and trade relations with our Southern and Eastern partners," he emphasized. "We will find a way not just to eliminate our dependence on the US but also profit from these sanctions."
Sanctions imposed by the US against the Russian government institutions will force Russia to recognize the impossibility of loans repayment to the US banks, Presidential Aide Sergei Glazyev said.
"If sanctions are applied against state structures, we will be forced to recognize the impossibility of repayment of the loans that the US banks gave to the Russian structures. Indeed, sanctions are a double-edged weapon, and if the US chooses to freeze our assets, then our equities and liabilities in dollars will also be frozen. This means that our banks and businesses will not return the loans to American partners," he said.
Russia urges Ukrainian regime to return to legitimacy
Russia will only engage in a dialog with the ruling Ukrainian regime if it "returns to legitimacy," Putin's senior advisor Sergei Glazyev has said.
"This regime is illegal, it is profoundly Russophobic. Some people in the Ukrainian government, who have seized power by force, are on terrorist lists. They are criminals," Glazyev underscored.
"I cannot imagine us having any serious dialog with criminals, apart from talks that would bring them back into the legal framework, restore the rule of law and make Yatsenyuk, Klitschko, Tyagnibok and European ministers deliver on their promises [made in connection with the Feb. 21 agreements]," he said.
Putin's advisor Glazyev 'not authorized' to speak on Cabinet behalf – Kremlin
The Kremlin has expressed its surprise over remarks of President Putin's economic security advisor Sergei Glazyev who claimed today Russia could easily dodge US sanctions. Russian media have learnt this from a senior official in the Putin administration.
Mr. Glazyev said earlier today that Russia would be forced to switch to other currencies and set up its own payment system if US Senate were to sanction it over Ukraine.
The advisor claimed that Moscow would recommend everyone to get rid of their US Treasury bonds if the United States froze the assets of Russian public institutions and private investors. He added that Russia would also have to default on its loans to American banks.
"Mr. Glazyev has not been authorized to talk on behalf of the Russian government and especially to voice such unacceptable measures," the source in the Kremlin said. He stressed it was Glazyev's "personal opinion" that had nothing to do with Russia's official stance.

We received an email the other day about our monthly newsletter. Instead of receiving the typical PDF file, it was this robust tool that allows you to zoom in and out of the document and provided a left navigation to scroll through the document "easily."
Most of this functionality is in Adobe, but it's not as slick as this tool and it requires an additional second or so to zoom to a larger image or to turn on the left navigation functionality.
The interesting thing is that either people hated the new tool or loved it so much that they didn't read the articles. They spent their time playing with the tool instead.
And, thus, a new quote was born…by me:
"The tool overpowered the message."
This has been said before I'm sure, but it was interesting to see it in action amongst a small group of people at a particular moment in time.
You would think that in 2008 we would get over some of our fascination with tools, but alas and much a lack, we still like things that are bright, shiny, and seem to make us feel smarter even though it is dummying us down as a population.

I was speaking to my new friends at Great Island Crossfit about nutrition to fuel the body for performance a few nights ago. We got onto the subject of dairy, as you do, and I expressed my feelings on pasteurized milk.
Pasteurized dairy is acidic, pro- inflammatory, plays havoc on people's sinuses and digestive health and is a common food intolerance. When being conscious of inflammation and wanting to keep an edge in fitness I wouldn't be first to recommend it. Yet, milk in its raw form is a whole other story. Drinking raw milk does come with some potential danger. The reason we started to pasteurize milk was to reduce our risk of infection. Yet, research finds that we have a very small (about a 1 in 6 million) chance in developing a serious illness from drinking raw milk. You would have a greater chance of being struck by lightning.
Some of the benefits of switching include greater levels and increased bioavailability of fat soluble vitamins A, D & K, essential fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) which has been shown to help burn fat, reduce risk of some cancers and lower insulin resistance levels. It is anti-inflammatory in nature and some research suggests that it has an antimicrobial element. Raw milk maintains all of its enzymes which are unfortunately killed in the pasteurization process. Many people diagnosed with lactose intolerance find that after switching to raw milk they no longer suffer from symptoms. The list of benefits goes on but it wouldn't be right to not at least mention the superior taste.
I buy my raw milk from a local farmers market. The farmer even takes .50c off when you return the bottle. What I do with this milk when I bring it home is what makes it turn into something even more amazing. Kefir.
Kefir is a variety of fermented dairy made with "grains," actually colonies of yeast and bacteria that look like curds and are then strained out of the milk after fermentation. Kefir has a vibrant and interesting history which I won't go into here, but may be worth looking into if you feel inspired to make your own. Besides containing beneficial bacteria and yeasts, kefir is also an excellent source of vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids that promote healing, repair and general wellbeing. Some would consider it a super food. It plays a big role as an immune modulator as well as being useful for digestive health and bone health. Kefir remains one of the most potent probiotic foods available.
Making kefir is truly simple. You put approximately 2 teaspoons of kefir grains into a jar with about 4 cups of milk, set it in a cupboard or on a countertop for 18-24 hours and boom! You have kefir! Strain the grains, put the finished kefir in the fridge to use and put fresh milk on the grains and start the process again. You don't have to worry about keeping a constant temperature, the warmer the room the faster the milk cultures, so if you want to slow the process down, put it in a cooler place or stick it in the fridge. The grains will continue to grow with each batch, so you will have plenty of grains to share with your friends.
We put kefir in our smoothies, make kefir ice-cream, kefir-garlic-cumin-lime sauce for our fish tacos or tzatziki for our falafel. The list goes on. It is just as versatile as yogurt.
If you are interested in making your own kefir at home ask around at your local health food shop. Someone in your community is bound to have grains they can share and you will be able to spread the health once you have kefir growing in your kitchen.

Major Wins for Transit, and Other Takeaways from Election Night
While the country awaits the results of the final vote count in a handful of key states in the Presidential race, the results from many transportation ballot measures are in. Despite uncertainty over how voters would respond to major bond and tax measures during the pandemic, voters approved a vast range of major transportation measures. This is similar to results in past years, and further demonstrates the public's willingness to raise taxes for major transportation investments.
Voters approve major regulatory changes governing vehicle telematics data and gig worker classifications.
In Massachusetts, nearly three-fourths of voters approved a "Right to Repair" measure, which would require car manufactures of telematics-equipped vehicles to install a standard open data platform beginning in 2022. This would allow independent auto repair shops and owners to access a vehicle's telematics data, which is typically transmitted wirelessly to a remote server, through a mobile app. This measure expands on a previously passed law to allow owners and independent mechanics to have the same access to vehicle diagnostics data stored onboard the vehicle but exempted vehicles that transmit this data wirelessly. Automakers and opponents of the measure cited cybersecurity and data privacy concerns in their opposition, and NHTSA issued a broad statement warning against possible cybersecurity risks in July.
In California, Proposition 22 was approved by nearly 60 percent of voters. Proposition 22 overturned a statewide law classifying ridehail and delivery app drivers as employees, rather than independent contractors, entitling them to standard benefits including health and unemployment insurance, and sick leave. The measure allows drivers to remain classified as independent contractors, but requires the companies to provide limited benefits including health insurance stipends and a pay floor that is contingent on factors including active driving time. The measure was backed by ridehail and delivery companies like Uber and Lyft, Postmates, and DoorDash, which spent nearly $200 million to support its passage, making Proposition 22 the most expensive ballot initiative campaign in the state's history. The measure was opposed by many Democratic elected officials and labor unions.
Most transit measures passed overwhelmingly
Voters approved most major transit measures – among the largest of any of the measures on the ballot this year in terms of scope and revenue generated – by overwhelming margins.
In Austin, nearly two-thirds of voters backed Proposition A, which would generate the local match for Austin's proposed $7.1 billion transit system expansion. With Proposition A passed, the next step for the proposed transit expansion will be for the Austin City Council and Capital Metro Board to appoint members to the Austin Transit Partnership: a new local government corporation that will be tasked with delivering Project Connect.
Major transit measures passed in the Bay Area and Seattle, too. Voters in the Bay Area overwhelmingly passed Measure RR by a 70 to 30 percent margin, easily clearing the measure's supermajority requirement to enact a 1/8-cent sales tax and create a dedicated revenue source for CalTrain. Seattle voters also approved Proposition 1, a 0.05-cent sales tax increase, to fund bus service and low fare programs by a huge 81 to 19 percent margin.
In Portland, however, 57 percent of voters rejected a 0.75-percent payroll tax measure for transit and corridor projects, putting the fate of the proposed Southwest Corridor MAX light rail line up in the air.
The largest measure on the ballot this year – a $13 billion transit expansion in Gwinnett County, Georgia – remains effectively tied as ballots continue to be counted in the state, though the current tally indicates a narrow defeat.
Results from other transit measures on the 2020 ballot:
- Fairfax County, Virginia: voters approved a $160 million bond measure that will fund the county's annual payments to WMATA for service, capital projects, and other transit improvements.
- San Antonio, Texas: voters approved a reallocation of an existing 1/8-cent sales tax to the city's transit agency, VIA. However, the revenue from the tax will initially flow to the City of San Antonio to fund COVID-19 recovery and workforce development until 2026, when the revenue will be dedicated to VIA indefinitely.
- Missoula, Montana, voters approved a 20 mill levy increase for the Missoula Urban Transportation District, helping fund expanded bus service and frequency, a zero fare program, and conversion to an electric bus fleet.
- Bellingham, Washington: voters renewed a 0.2% sales tax for street maintenance, bike lanes and sidewalks, and bus service.
- Sonoma County, CA: voters continued a 0.25-cent sales tax that generates $26 million in annual revenue for transportation improvements (bus service, road repair, pedestrian/bicycle infrastructure, and evacuation route improvements).
- Newton, County GA: voters rejected a 1% sales tax that would have raised $56 million for roads and transit
Many state and local transportation funding measures approved overwhelmingly.
Alongside major victories for transit, many state local transportation funding measures were also approved overwhelmingly by voters:
- In Arkansas, more than half of voters approved of the statewide measure making an existing 0.5-cent sales tax for roads and highways permanent (the tax was set to expire in 2023).
- Charlotte, North Carolina: more than three-fourths of voters approved three major general obligation bonds for housing, neighborhood infrastructure improvements, and major transportation improvements. These bonds included a $103 million transportation bond for traffic signal improvements, bridge replacement, pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure, and enhancements to improve access to the LYNX Blue Line, and a $45 million neighborhood improvement bond for sidewalk, street, and bike lane improvements.
- Austin, Texas: in addition to the city's major transit referendum, voters also approved Proposition B – a $460 million general obligation bond for multimodal transportation improvements (including sidewalk, bikeway, road, and signal enhancements) – by a 58 to 42 percent margin.
- Bend, Oregon: voters approved a $190 million bond measure for road improvements, better east-west connections in the city, and pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure.
- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: three-fourths of voters approved a $134 million general obligation bond, of which $48 million will fund street and sanitation projects, and nearly $5 million for transit improvements.
- Toledo, Ohio: 54 percent of voters approved a temporary 0.25-percent income tax to fund road improvements. The approval comes after a similar 0.5-percent income tax increase measure failed in April of this year.
- Denver, Colorado: voters approved Measure 2A, a 0.25% sales tax that would raise $40 million annually for climate-change mitigation programs, which can include investments in transit, elective vehicles, and pedestrian/bicycle improvements. Voters also approved Measure 2D, which creates a 19-member advisory board for the city's Department of Transportation and Infrastructure (which was created by a voter-approved measure in 2019).
- Pflugerville, Texas: voters approved a $101 million bond to fund road improvements.
- Marion County, Florida: voters continued a 1% sales tax to raise $196 million for road projects and public safety improvements over four years.
- Mesa, Arizona: 70 percent of voters approved a $100 million general obligation bond to fund transportation projects and improvements for streets, bridges, signals, lighting, trails, and highways.
One sizeable measure was rejected by voters. In Kootenai County, Idaho, voters rejected a proposed increase in vehicle registration fees ($25 for motorcycles, $50 for all other vehicles) that would have raised $540 million for roadway projects.
As we continue to collect final results, it is clear that voters willingness to pay for major transportation projects was largely unaffected by the pandemic. Results from major initiatives in places like Austin and the Bay Area suggest that voters saw and supported the long-term value and utility of public transit, even in the midst of short-term ridership declines.

Many Catholics are reeling after the release of a Pennsylvania grand jury report that detailed the abuse of nearly 1,000 victims by hundreds of priests over the course of decades. This, coming on the heels of another scandal involving former-cardinal Theodore McCarrick's abuse of minors and seminarians, has Catholic feeling like they are in the middle of another sexual abuse crisis, and it leaves them with a lot of questions.
Below are some frequently asked questions regarding the current events, including how the bishops are responding and practical ways that the laity can respond to the abuse crisis.
What was in the Pennsylvania Grand Jury Report?
The report released on August 14 details allegations made in the dioceses of Allentown, Erie, Greensburg, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, and Scranton. At nearly 900 pages, the report identifies more than 300 priests who are credibly accused of sexually abusing nearly 1,000 victims, many of whom were children. The details of the report are graphic and devastating, and paint a portrait of Church leaders who minimized, covered-up, or simply did nothing when faced with the abuse of parishioners. You can read the full report here.
These events happened decades ago, why is it being brought up now?
In responding to a listener's question on The Patrick Madrid Show, host Patrick Madrid said, "We bring it up because it is a real problem in the Church, and Pennsylvania is just one area. There are 50 states in the country, and this is a problem all over the country. We're just getting a glimpse."
It's as if somebody pulled the rock up and we're looking at all the things scurrying around that used to be in the dark. It's important people understand this, first so that justice and restitution can be made. But also, and perhaps more importantly, so that we can finally stop this problem so that it doesn't happen again and so that future boys, girls, teenagers, and adults don't get victimized. It's necessary to drag all this out and deal with it, disinfect it, solve the problem, cut out the gangrene before it spreads any further."
You can listen to The Patrick Madrid Show entirely dedicated to the Pennsylvania grand jury report here.
Sexual abuse happens in other places in society too, why is the Church being targeted?
In a statement released on August 15, Cardinal Timothy Dolan of the Archdiocese of New York wrote, "While it is true that the abuse of minors was badly handled by all segments of society, if there is one segment that should have done a better job, it is the Church. And while the Church in the past may have been an example of what not to do, today I believe it is a model of what to do to prevent sexual abuse, and how to respond when an accusation comes to light.
Although the situation in the Church is very different today, especially since the Charter for the Protection of Children and Young People in 2002, that does not mean that we can become complacent or think this is all behind us. We must continue to do all that we can to address the pain and suffering that victim-survivors continue to feel."
How are the bishops responding?
Cardinal Daniel N. DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, President of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) released a statement after a series of meeting with his fellow bishops. In the statement he wrote:
"I apologize and humbly ask your forgiveness for what my brother bishops and I have done and failed to do. Whatever the details may turn out to be regarding Archbishop McCarrick or the many abuses in Pennsylvania (or anywhere else), we already know that one root cause is the failure of episcopal leadership. The result was that scores of beloved children of God were abandoned to face an abuse of power alone. This is a moral catastrophe. It is also part of this catastrophe that so many faithful priests who are pursuing holiness and serving with integrity are tainted by this failure.
We firmly resolve, with the help of God's grace, never to repeat it. I have no illusions about the degree to which trust in the bishops has been damaged by these past sins and failures. It will take work to rebuild that trust."
In an effort to make practical steps to move forward, Cardinal DiNardo also outlined the practical changes that will take place in an effort to avoid repeating the sins and failures of the past. You can read the details of those changes here.
What can the laity do to confront the evil present within our Church?
In the midst of successive scandals, many Catholics feel their faith being tested. The betrayal and harm caused by these abusive priests can be difficult to work through. But as Father Matthew Spencer, OSJ, host of St. Joseph's Workshop, said after the McCarrick scandal, "For all of us, to be Catholic we need to be faithful even when others aren't. Even when those who are in authority aren't, we need to continue to be faithful to the Lord. The gates of hell will not prevail over Jesus' Church."
Below are four things that you can do as we work to purify the Church:
- Pray the Rosary. We at Relevant Radio® invite you to join us in praying a decade of the Rosary every hour for three days in reparation for the sins of clergy sexual abuse and for the healing of the victims and our Church. We will pray each decade on-air at the beginning of every program hour.
- Write to your local bishop and let him hear the voice of his flock. Encourage him in any efforts he has made to address clerical abuse, and suggest any ways that the Church can better secure the protection of minors and the holiness of our priests.
- Make reparation for the sins and sacrilege of abusive priests by offering a Holy Hour of Reparation before the Blessed Sacrament. You can find instructions and prayers for the Holy Hour of Reparation here.
- St. Francis of Assisi observed an annual 'Lent of St. Michael' from the Feast of the Assumption on August 15 to the Feast of St. Michael the Archangel on September 29. Treat this period as a time of prayer and fasting. Ask for the intercession of St. Michael to dispel the demons in our Church, and of St. Francis to help us rebuild the Church as he did in his own time.
Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us.
Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for us.

If you've ever watched a TV quiz show called "Jeopardy," your reaction might have been similar to mine. "Wow, how do they know that? They're really bright!" Endless facts. Endless "knowledge" about things that I, for one, know nothing about. But it is not knowledge; it's about an ability to retain information. That's very different from having knowledge of a subject. With knowledge, one has the ability to use information. It is the essence of the quote, "May the force be with you" from the Star Wars epic film saga.
Journalist Bill Moyers realized this when he interviewed Professor Joseph Campbell in 1998 for Public Broadcasting. The interview lasted six hours and was subsequently made into six one-hour specials. Campbell, an expert in mythology, had previously written a book titled The Hero with a Thousand Faces. It detailed how all mythology told the same story. The hero was always an orphan (so he wouldn't be distracted by family life) who would leave his village and go up a mountain. There God would speak to him and he would bring back God's message to the village.
The same story was told throughout time, in all cultures, in all parts of the world. It is the story of Christ, Mohammed, Confucius, Moses, Buddha et al. Later, it became the same story culturally – in movie and comic book form - for Superman, Batman, Harry potter, Wonder woman, Spider Man etc. All were orphans with the same purpose. Joseph Campbell was knowledgeable not because he knew about a thousand prophets, though that's hard to do, but because he constructed a knowledgeable concept from it. The human need for a universal myth. The TV series was one of the most popular ever shown on public television.
A "eureka" moment occurs when information enables us to then create knowledge. It's bringing information together so we can have an understanding of whatever the subject we're focused on. Einstein, experienced this with his revelation of E=MC2. This distinction between information and knowledge struck me recently when I purchased a book called The Man Who Solved the Market by Gregory Zuckerman. It's the story of another professor, Jim Simons (M.I.T.), who had started a quantitative hedge fund called Renaissance Technology. His hedge fund made him one of the richest men in the investment business with wealth estimated at 21.6 billion! Was he knowledgeable about the investment world? Not at all. By background, he was an astrophysicist.
Simons was a pioneer in using mathematical formulas for quantitative "investing." But trading is not investing; investing is the outlay of an asset (in this case money) in the hope of a greater payoff in the future. Human beings do not measure the future in milliseconds. Only, transactional quants do. They use fast computers and software designed to beat those whose information flow is slower. The transition of the stock exchange to a privatized for profit computerized market, had everything to do with his wealth accumulation. This transition enabled profit to go to those with the fastest trading information. One could say he had a knowledge of computers, but that is not investment knowledge. In fact, it invalidates the premise of the book; The Man Who SOLVED the Market.
All active managers I've known have been voracious readers searching for information. Information which can lead them to investable knowledge. Peter Lynch, as a young man, used to take a bus in and out of Boston so he could read during his commute. Later, Fidelity sent him a limousine. Unlike the quants, speed of execution was never a factor in his investment success. It was knowledge … and judgement. Too often, information is conflated as knowledge.
We all have information that comes our way, but it does not become knowledge until we have the realization of how to implement it in a meaningful way. George Lucas, the "creator" of the Star Wars saga, studied Joseph Campbell's writing years before putting it to film. Lucas regarded Campbell as his "Yoda." Yoda was one of the most powerful members of the Jedi Order. He was a teacher to Luke Skywalker, not of information, but of all Jedi knowledge.
