conference, members of the Arab League will be holding a session and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) will be convening. These three conferences being held in the final days of the month of Ramadan in the city of Mecca are aimed at establishing a large alliance against Iran, according to Agence France Presse. Increasing tension among the U.S. and Iran has led to concerns among regional countries over a possible military confrontation.
There are no reports about the possibility of Iran being invited or not to the OIC session.
While U.S. President Donald Trump has reiterated his willingness to talk with the regime ruling Iran, the mullahs view any talks with "The Great Satan" as a major step back from their 40-year long positions. Such a development will result in the regime weakening and losing its grip on the country with each passing day.
As a result, continuing its warmongering in the region and going back on the 2015 nuclear deal will result in further strong measures by the U.S. and most likely other countries across the globe. On the other hand, bending the knee to negotiations with the U.S. also comes with major calamities.
This predicament has left the mullahs' regime in a lose-lose situation, with time running out fast as sanctions continue to bite. As a recent Wall Street Journal piece put it, "Amid Tensions, Iran's Crude Buyers Jump Ship."
What Comes After French FM's Iran Visit

Monday's Tehran visit by French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian is startling a wide variety of responses, especially from inside Iran.
Kayhan daily, known as the mouthpiece of Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, ran a piece titled "French Foreign Minister heading to Tehran with a JCPOA-2 hat," using the acronym for the Iran nuclear deal, Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, while describing Paris' efforts to impose further setbacks upon Iran's regime.
The semi-official Ruydad 24 website in Iran writes, "The JCPOA, ballistic missile program and Iran's role in the region are of the most important challenges before Iran, Europe, the United States and Middle East countries."
This is what concerns Tehran the most, being crystal clear the Europeans would never side with Iran over the U.S.
Seeking to raise the stakes prior Le Drian's visit, Tehran on Monday announced it enjoys the capability of producing higher enriched uranium within two days if Washington's abandons ship on the 2015 nuclear deal between.
"If America pulls out of the deal … Iran could resume its 20 percent uranium enrichment in less than 48 hours," Iran's Atomic Energy Organization spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi told al-Alam TV.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi said Le Drian will be merely involved in discussions and there are no negotiations involved. France's official position says otherwise.
"Iran's ballistic missile program, with a range of a few thousand kilometers, is definitely non-consistent with United Nations Security Council resolutions and goes beyond Iran's need to defend its borders," Le Drian said in an interview with the French daily Le Journal du Dimanche.
"If this dilemma is not resolved directly, Iran will be facing the threat of new sanctions," he added.
France is leading Europe in talks with Iran and it is very likely Le Drian discussed with Iran's officials the conditions raised by U.S. President Donald Trump.
"The U.S. has asked France to lay Trump's conditions before Iran. European countries have confirmed these conditions," according to the semi-officials Fars news agency, said to be linked to Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC).
In his meeting with Le Drian, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's remarks vividly displayed Tehran's deep concerns about the JCPOA's future.
"The JCPOA is a litmus test for all parties and its dism | [

antling will bring disappointment for everyone," Rouhani said.
We must also take into consideration the timing of Le Drian's visit, coming prior to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's visit to Washington, in which Iran was the main issue of talks.
Two weeks later Saudi Crown Prince Mohamed bin Salman to Washington where Iran's regional meddling will most likely be discussed. Tehran's role in Syria has raised major concerns.
"…if we don't push Iran out and come up with an agreement in Geneva that gives Syria back to the Syrians. This war never ends. So, Mr. President it's just not about defeating ISIL. If you leave Syria in the hands of Russia and the Iranians this war never ends," said Senator Lindsey Graham in a recent interview.
Finally, Trump will be hosting his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron, as the leader of Europe in regards to the JCPOA.

As a result, the objective of Le Drian's visit to Iran can be described as placing Trump's significant pressures and imposing his conditions. Tehran will most definitely be concerned, knowing all meetings will evolve in Trump's talks with Macron in Washington. Two weeks later Trump will announce his decision on the JCPOA.
This leaves Tehran before a particular dilemma. Succumbing to the new conditions set to preserve the JCPOA will deliver a strategic setback, being, to say the least, significantly curbing its ballistic missile program and Middle East influence. Iran considers these two pillars its pride and regional strategy depth.
Choosing to reject Washington's conditions, however, will most certainly lead to the return of crippling sanctions for Tehran.
Add to this dilemma the ongoing protest staged by Iranians across the country. This goes alongside calls for further nationwide protests next Tuesday, marking the country's annual "Fire Festivities" held on the last Tuesday night of the Iranian calendar before inviting in the new year.
Iranian opposition People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) has issued a call for a nationwide uprising to mark this celebration. Senior Iranian officials have acknowledged how the PMOI/MEK organized the recent flare of protests across the country.
Tehran's troubles are only beginning.
Sanctioning the Terrible Twosome

The world currently faces two atomic crises in Iran and North Korea, despite long strides in the effort of nuclear non-proliferation. Deep military and nuclear cooperation between the two states makes dealing with these challenges even more difficult. One may have thought lessons would have been learnt from the devastating lessons of appeasement from World War II – yet the approaches adopted vis-à-vis North Korea and Iran in signing nuclear agreements have raised accusations that Neville Chamberlain's famous policy is still alive and well.
It's obvious that Iran has learned from North Korea, and vice-versa, in both military and diplomatic spheres: in a recent Raddington Report article we argue that there are few nations that view North Korean missile tests with more interest than Iran. The Islamic Republic yearns to be in the position North Korea finds itself in – to have developed a nuclear arsenal, along with the means of deliver the payload. And North Korea covets to have had the opportunity Iran found: usurping Obama's desperate need for a legacy-defining foreign policy achievement to garner a slate of concessions.
There is seemingly little appetite for a military confrontation with North Korea | [

or Iran – yet the appeasement of these two rogue regimes have left the international community in more of a quagmire. North Korea is holding South Korea and Japan hostage (along with tens of thousands of stationed US troops) while Iran continues its regional meddling, support for terrorism, ballistic missile advances and human rights violations, all whilst reaching an agreement with the P5+1.
Pyongyang and Tehran have both sought nuclear weapons as insurance for their notorious regimes. Enjoying enticement by US administrations since the 1990s, North Korea has reached its objective, at the expense of it's starving people – and economy more broadly. Iran, whilst seeking nuclear capability, began feeling the heat of international sanctions and escalating public anger, which forced it to trade a curbing of its nuclear program in return for sanctions relief. What goes unnoticed, however, is how agreements signed by the international community with these two regimes provide a green light to the ruling autocrats to pursue the oppression of their own populations.
Iran has continued its practice of abducting American citizens and sentencing them to long prison terms. A situation in which Kim Jung Un was provided more inducements to come to the negotiating table – as in Iran's case – could possibly result in further abductions, assassinations and more tens of thousands of political prisoners held in facilities so large they are visible in satellite images. Concessions have already provided Iran a green light to expand its domestic crackdown and meddling abroad. The definition of insanity, famously, is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.
Offering a possible insight into the Trump administration's future approach to Iran, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Nikki Haley delivered a speech recently in the American Enterprise Institute, stating that; "…if the President does not certify Iranian compliance, the Corker-Cardin law also tells us what happens next. What happens next is significantly in Congress's hands," she explained, in reference to the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act.
"Congress could debate whether the nuclear deal is in fact too big to fail. We should welcome a debate over whether the JCPOA is in U.S. national security interests. The previous administration set up the deal in a way that denied us that honest and serious debate," the US Ambassador to the United Nations continued.
Following Pyongyang's latest nuclear test, which led to claims that the DPRK has acquired the ability to test a hydrogen bomb, there is belief amongst high circles in Washington that North Korea is supporting Iran in return to the path of obtaining nuclear weapons. While Washington is weighing its options in responding to North Korea's latest nuclear bomb test, most concerning are obvious shows of allegiance, such as a recent 10-day visit to Tehran by Pyongyang's parliament speaker Kim Yong Nam.
Thanks to a 'windfall' of billions of dollars provided by the Obama-blueprinted nuclear deal, Iran has the hard currency and financial assets North Korea needs. In return, Pyongyang can deliver the nuclear weapons and ballistic missile technology Tehran wants to acquire. It has become increasingly obvious these regimes are far from rational actors who can be persuaded into taking action for the better benefit of the international community. North Korea must be made to bow before demands to give up nuclear weapons, whilst Iran must be made to understand that following the path of its East Asian partner is not an option.
The response Tehran receives from the international community, with the US at the helm, is of vital importance. The failure of previous US administrations to take any meaningful action to prevent the growth of such a dangerous nexus leaves us with the circumstances we face today. It is a known fact that many of Tehran's ballistic missile designs, such as the Hwasong series, are based on Pyongyang prototypes. This is the result of political and military ties leading back to the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s. Concerns escalate to a highly lethal level when we realize Iran's missiles, mirroring those of its North Korean sisters, could enjoy the capability of delivering nuclear payloads. These decades-long close exchanges have now also provided Iran the ability to construct missile production factories in Syria and Libya, some underground.
It is increasingly difficult to deny Tehran's diplomatic, economic and | [

military ties with Pyongyang. It is even possible the two country's scientists have been present at each other's nuclear and ballistic missile tests, one after another. Tehran and Pyongyang must be made to comprehend that a continuation of their provocations cannot not be tolerated – senior Iranian and North Korean leaders, along with the institutions maintaining their rule, should be the target of crippling international sanctions. Kim, Khamenei and their henchmen, must find it far more difficult to plunder their people's wealth for their own interests, while the two populations suffer in poverty. The international community should also boost campaigns aimed at drying up the two regimes' supply chains providing the needs for their missile and nuclear drives.
This question is now raised over the meaning of seeking a new nuclear arrangement with North Korea, especially as the JCPOA is currently being usurped by Iran. Surely rapprochement will only encourage Pyongyang to continue its current aggressive nature – and what lessons would Tehran, a regime enjoying a dangerous reach across the Middle East, learn from this? There is no need to explain how Tehran and Pyongyang have most likely followed each other's negotiations with the international community, the deals sealed to buy time, the successful and unsuccessful lies and deceptions and how to come to each other's support when needed. Most importantly, however, they have learned how to create rifts amongst Western countries, such as the United States, France and Britain, and to utilise Russian and Chinese postures, to divide in the UN Security Council.
As Haley correctly said, "Enough is enough." War is neither needed nor welcomed. An international consensus to impose crippling sanctions on the regimes of Iran and North Korea is necessary.
Although watered down to garner the support of Beijing and Moscow, the sanctions adopted unanimously by the United Nations Security Council on Monday against North Korea, capping the regime's oil imports from China and banning its profitable textile exports, is a step in the right direction. One hopes this is the beginning of a continuing trend to bring an end to Pyongyang's dangerous bellicosities, and sends a powerful message to Tehran of the international community's resolve and intolerance for such rogue behavior.
If history is to teach us any lesson, it is that of rapprochement rendering nothing but death and destruction. If we seek an end to the current nuclear standoffs, all parties must further set aside their short term interests and think for the better good of all.
Paris convention calls for evicting Iran from Mideast
July 3, 2017 July 3, 2017 Posted in Iran, Middle EastTagged Iran, Maryam Rajavi, Meddling, Middle East, NCRILeave a comment
A vast convention hall located north of Paris was the scene of a massive Iranian Diaspora gathering who voiced their demand for a better future through regime change in Tehran.
Hundreds of dignitaries from the Arab World, United States and Europe stood alongside the Iranian opposition coalition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and its President Maryam Rajavi in condemning Tehran's meddling throughout the Middle East as the main obstacle to establish peace and security in at least four regional states.
Saturday's keynote speaker was Rajavi, who called on the international community to recognize the NCRI as the voice representing the Iranian people, evict Iran from the Middle East end the appeasement policy and welcome a strong strategy of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Iranian people's call for regime change.
"The Iranian people are the first victims of Khomeini's dictatorship," said Turki Al-Faisal. "Your effort in challenging this regime is legitimate and your resistance for the liberation of the Iranian people of all ethnicities, including Arabs, Kurds, Balochis, Turks and Fars of the mullahs' evil, as Mrs. Rajavi said, is a legitimate struggle."
In a sign of a united Middle East position in the face of Iran's belligerence, numerous Arab delegations including many former and current officials from more than a dozen regional countries participated in the convention.
In their colorful array of speeches these representatives of hundreds of millions of people who have suffered from the mullahs' support for terrorism placed their fists down saying enough is enough. Following four decades of endless destruction | [

and misery brewed by Tehran's mullahs across the region, these nations are more than ever supporting the NCRI platform advocating regime change.
Iranian opposition leader Maryam Rajavi spearheaded Saturday's convention.
"Our people want a constitution based on freedom, democracy and equality. The time has come for the international community to heed the demands of the people of Iran," she said.
Rajavi shed light on a subject less taken into consideration about Iran, being the very fact that the roots of Tehran's foreign wars are found in its domestic crises.
"Out of the past 38 years, the mullahs were engaged in war with Iraq for eight years, have been at war with the people of Syria for six years, and have pursued confrontation with the international community for more than ten years to build an atomic bomb. The Iranian Resistance is proud that it has stood up to the mullahs' religious fascism in all these three spheres: It has been the flag-bearer of peace and freedom; it has been a vanguard in defending the people of Syria, and it has led the way for a non-nuclear Iran," Rajavi added.
"We have welcomed the statements made at the Arab, Islamic, American Summit in Riyadh against the Iranian regime's terrorist and destabilizing activities. Nevertheless, we emphasize that the ultimate solution to the crisis in the region and confronting groups like ISIS, is the overthrow of the Iranian regime by the Iranian people and Resistance," she continued.
Placing forward the most important changes needed, Rajavi stated people's demands in their struggle for freedom and democracy.
1) The international community must recognize the NCRI as the sole legitimate voice representing Iranian people.
2) Bringing a lasting end to the highly-flawed policy of engagement and appeasement vis-à-vis Tehran.
3) Establishing a strong position of standing shoulder to shoulder with the Iranian people's will of seeking an end to the mullahs' rule through regime change.
Fierce quarrel
Politicians and high-profile figures from the United States and Europe gave more weight to a complementary message of this conference: the mullahs do not represent the Iranian people and it is high time for the international community to acknowledge this nation's true demand for regime change.
Representing a rare bipartisan initiative in Washington, American dignitaries including former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Senator Joseph Lieberman, Mayor Rudi Giuliani, former Democratic National Committee Chairman Governor Ed Rendell and a substantial slate of dozens of other political and military officials joined the ranks of many others voicing their support.
"You, I, my government and your leadership, we see Iran in exactly the same way. The regime is evil and it must go. #FreeIran," said Mayor Giuliani.
"I think it's fair to say that the Trump administration has much fewer illusions about the nature of the Iranian dictatorship. I think it's fair to say that Secretary of Defense Mattis in his years in the Central Command understands exactly who the Iranian dictatorship is…I think it's fair to say that the National Security Advisor, General McMaster, in his years of service in the Middle East, knows exactly who the Iranian dictatorship is," said former US presidential candidate Newt Gingrich.
Iran has been suffering a series of setbacks following last month's Riyadh Summit. Couple that with the Trump administration continuing to evaluate its comprehensive Iran policy, the mullahs in Tehran have every reason to be extremely concerned about how the bleak the future is. — Al Arabiya English

the United States and Russia, they are all mistaken.
The Cold War is over and will not be repeated. These two powers have more common interest to risk any unnecessary military conflict that neither will benefit from. The only party set to gain anything in such a scenario would be Iran, and more and more experts are raising alarm bells.
Yes, Russia has issued a warning to the US about flying its planes or drones west of Syria's Euphrates River that snakes through the country from the north to the southeast. Rest assured this is nothing but a bluff as Australia first responded by suspending its fighter jet flights, only to resume its activities one day later.
Russia looks to maintain its interests in Syria and is in no need of a conflict with the far more technologically-advanced US military.
Iran poses a far greater threat to the US, and the entire world for that matter, than Russia. And as we inch forward down the path of seeking a solution to bring an end to the war in Syria and turmoil across the region, crosshairs are more than ever before being rightfully placed on Iran.
Iran's meddling in Iraq, Syria, Yemen and its decades' long support of its offspring, the Lebanese Hezbollah, are all signs of a vast imperial campaign seeking to gain further control over the future of the entire Middle East. Tehran has long calibrated its foreign policy for this very objective. This goes alongside Iran's other pillars, being domestic crackdown and advancing nuclear/ballistic missile program, to maintain its rule and remain in power.
Long before the Islamic State, Iran has sought to expand its mentality of establishing a Middle East-wide caliphate. This is exactly why Iranian regime founder Ruhollah Khomeini adopted and imposed the velayat-e faqih (governance of jurist enjoying custodianship over all state affairs and people's lives).
This mentality of Iran's mullahs must be acknowledged by the West and appropriate measures are needed to prevent any further devastation. A short look at the atrocities we are currently witnessing due to Iran's influence over Baghdad, Damascus and Sana'a should be proof enough to highlight the need for a firm and decisive policy vis-à-vis Iran.
The Obama administration continuously backed the US into a corner and only sought to obtain a highly flawed nuclear deal at any cost. It is imperative for Washington and the international community to understand the imperative nature of setting the correct goals in relations to Iran.
Senator Tom Cotton in the US has recently made a significant call for Washington to seriously consider regime change in Iran as a serious possibility.
"The policy of the United States should be regime change in Iran. I don't see how anyone can say America can be safe as long as you have in power a theocratic despotism," Cotton, a member of the Senate Armed Forces Committee, said in a recent interview.
Washington had supported reform from inside the current regime in Iran, only to end in no fruit. Officials in the Trump administration, however, are indicating this may no longer provide the results they seek. Allies of this administration are even heard urging a far more aggressive position.
To accelerate the entire subject even further, Washington and Tehran have been experiencing a high fraught increase in their relations.
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson responded to a question in a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing emphasizing Washington's support for peaceful regime change, a first bye any US official.
Iran has responded by filing an official complaint to the United Nations. All this goes parallel to numerous face-offs between the US-backed coalition and Iran-backed forces in Syria.
As the Trump administration continues to weigh its all-out Iran policy, such developments and voices heard from across Washington and Europe will most definitely place the mullahs on edge.
265 Members of the European Parliament issued a statement condemning flagrant human rights violations in Iran. This initiative enjoys vast support, "including all political groups and tendencies in the European Parliament. They include 4 Vice-Presidents of the parliament and 23 Committee and Delegation Chairs. This clearly shows that when the issue of human rights violations, repression of women and minorities and the Iranian regime's support of terrorism are concerned, we are all united."
The Iranian opposition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), however, is gearing for its annual Paris rally scheduled for July | [

TEASER: July 1st #FreeIran rally in Paris. High-profile speakers to include @newtgingrich, @JoeLieberman, @AmbJohnBolton @GovEdRendell #Iran pic.twitter.com/cmtEjV78Ot
— M. Hanif Jazayeri (@HanifJazayeri) June 25, 2017
Hundreds of prominent dignitaries from the US, Europe and Middle East will most likely be joined by over 100,000 members of the Iranian Diaspora from all corners of the globe. As seen in previous year this platform will express support for NCRI President Maryam Rajavi and her ten-point plan consisting gender equality, peaceful coexistence, abolishing capital punishment, torture and crackdown, and bringing an end to Iran's nuclear program, meddling and support of terrorism.
The combination of calls for regime change in the West and the Iranian opposition delivering a very capable platform to realize this initiative is a recipe for disaster in the eyes of Tehran's mullahs.
Iran's missile launches: A sign of strength or weakness?

How should we evaluate Iran's medium-range missile strikes, boasted by the mullahs as an official response to the June 7th twin attacks allegedly staged by ISIS in Tehran? As a sign of strength showing Iran's ability to take on ISIS while also sending a message to all adversaries, most importantly Washington? Or a desperate attempt by the mullahs to maintain a straight face against increasing domestic and foreign crises?
Iran last resorted to such drastic measures of launching ballistic missiles from its soil back in the final days of the Iran-Iraq war in 1988 after suffering major defeats, and once again in 2001 against former bases of the Iranian opposition People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) in Iraq in response to a vast opposition camp inside the country. This proves Tehran will fall to such lows when pinned against the wall as a last resort.
The question is, why would Iran launch expensive medium-range missiles, knowing it has yet to perfect a precision guiding system (as three of the seven missiles landed in Iraq and three others were far off their targets in Deir Ezzur)? Furthermore, Iran boasts of having tens of thousands proxy shock troops in Syria propping the Assad regime and there are also reports of Tehran launching missile factories in Syria. So why the need to use such poorly guided medium-range missiles from their own turf?
This was nothing but a publicity stunt following the June 7th attacks, and Iran seeking to take advantage of the entire scenario to press the gas pedal on domestic crackdown and justify their foreign meddling in the Middle East and beyond. I have explained my thoughts extensively in a Forbes and Al Arabiya English article.
Despite targeting Syria in this missile attack, Iran mainly intended to deliver a message to Saudi Arabia. Iran's Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) accused Riyadh and also Washington over the June 7th attacks.
However, we should also take into notice that Tehran launched its missiles into the deserts of eastern Syria. And while the IRGC accuses Saudi Arabia and the U.S., rest assured Iran's mullahs are not so foolish as to launch missiles into the Kingdom or target American interests in the Middle East.
Iran's leaders may be extremists, but they are very pragmatic and know exactly when to back off. One such lesson was learned when the U.S. Navy in 1988 launched Operation Praying Mantis and nearly annihilated Iran's naval forces in retaliation to the Iranian mining of the Persian Gulf during the Iran–Iraq War | [

, with subsequent damage to an American warship.
The Iranian regime's senior hierarchy and IRGC were in dire need of such a missile launching especially following five months of setbacks:
a) The election of Donald Trump as President of United States and the end of Obama's dreadful era of appeasement.
b) Iran being placed "on notice" by the Trump administration.
c) Washington slapping two rounds of sanctions and a recent Senate resolution calling for sweeping action against Iran's ballistic missile program, support of terrorism and human rights violations.
d) The U.S. military taking direct action against Assad's airbase in April, more recently attacking Iran-backed troops and two Iran-made drones in southeast Syria, and downing an Assad regime bomber near Raqqa.
e) And possibly most significant of all, at a time when the Trump administration continues to weigh its comprehensive Iran policy, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is heard in a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing emphasizing Washington will support elements inside Iran seeking peaceful regime change.
All this places a heavy burden on a regime that only enjoys merely four percent popular support, as explained by a candidate in last month's faux presidential election.
As a result, to maintain a straight face Iran will resort to any and all desperate measures. All the while, such a turn of events and severe setbacks have come at the worst possible time for Tehran, as the PMOI/MEK, under the political umbrella of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), are preparing for their annual Paris rally scheduled for July1 this year.
Over 100,000 Iranians and hundreds of American, European and Middle East dignitaries gather to voice their support for NCRI President Maryam Rajavi and her ten-point plan for the future of Iran enjoying gender equality, peaceful coexistence, abolishing capital punishment, torture and crackdown, and bringing an end to Iran's nuclear program, meddling and support of terrorism.
As a result, from the mullahs' perspective desperate times call for desperate measures. Considering the bleak-looking future for Tehran, expect more such reactions.
The state of Iran's presidential election after recent exits

Tehran Mayor Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf's early exit on Tuesday from Iran's presidential election even prior to the May 19 polls, with no candidates until now forecasted to gain more than 50% of the votes, came as an unexpected turn of events.
This can be the result of a conclusion reached by the hardliner camp from the 2013 presidential election where their chances were hurt with none of their candidates willing to step aside in favor of their all-out interests.
The Status Quo
Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his camp have most likely decided to set aside the deceiving smiles of incumbent President Hassan Rouhani and American educated Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in the first round, and bring in figures known to adopt harsher tones.
Mostafa Mir-Salim, a conservative former minister of culture and Islamic guidance, will most likely follow in Ghalibaf's footsteps. He never had any meaningful chance in the polls and was only kept to level the playing field and set three "hardliners" against three so-called "moderates/reformists".
Khamenei loyalists will now be rallying behind Ebrahim Raisi, known as an insider figure enjoying the Supreme Leader's support. He has climbed up the political ladder through the judiciary and out of the spotlight until the past year or so.

Known as the "massacre ayatollah" inside Iran, Raisi has served the mullahs' so-called "judiciary" for three decades, sending thousands to the gallows to ensure | [

his rise in the ranks. Raisi's signature trademark is his notorious role in the summer 1988 massacre of over 30,000 political prisoners, mostly members and supporters of the banned Iranian opposition People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).
The Rival Camp
Rouhani, of course, leads three "reformists/moderates", with his own Vice President Eshagh Jahangiri stepping aside on Monday, and Mostafa Hashemitaba, who served as head of Iran's National Olympic Committee.
Jahangiri in the debates was seen both challenging the "hardline" rivals head on and taking the hits for Rouhani. Hashemitaba is not a serious candidate as he has openly indicated he is literally voting for Rouhani.

The initial wrap up is the "reformists/moderates" are rallying behind Rouhani. However, a broader analysis shows how ridiculous the entire sham election truly is.
Rouhani himself has nothing to present to the Iranian "voter." He has failed to inject any new life into the economy and provide for the average Iranian after the nuclear deal, and yet tens of billions of dollars are spent on:
a) the regime's meddling across the region, mainly in Syria
b) the ballistic missile drive
c) the domestic crackdown machine
d) the nuclear program that was supposed to be curbed
During the past four years Rouhani has also presided over 3,000 executions, meaning two individuals sent to the gallows in Iran each day.
And Then There Were Two
The scene is now set for a race between Raisi and Rouhani. Signs indicate Raisi will ultimately be selected by the regime apparatus. Would Khamenei have even entered Raisi into the race if he had any hesitations about the outcome? The Supreme Leader's recent remarks can be interpreted as warnings to Rouhani, especially when he cautioned any disruptor of the process will receive a "slap in the face."
Rouhani also understands a complete "engineering" of the election will not be an easy task for Khamenei due to the deep divides in the regime's senior ranks.
Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani, a former principalist, and Ali-Akbar Nategh-Nouri, a close confidant of Khamenei, have placed their weight behind Rouhani.
The ruling elite allowed Rouhani into the presidency in 2013 to answer their need for such a tool during the end of Obama's term to bring an end to international sanctions. With Obama gone and the Trump administration imposing a complete overhaul in US policy vis-à-vis Iran, Khamenei is recalibrating his regime for the tough road ahead.
A Potential New Twist
Another new change in the 2017 election is how Khamenei's camp is now understanding and embracing the importance of social media.
The candidates are using Twitter, despite being officially banned in Iran, and the messaging app Telegram, with over 20 million users amongst Iranians, to spread their message especially to the younger generation that comprise a very large percentage of Iran's population.
While hardliners were known to traditionally respect bans placed by the regime on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, a video posted by hardliners themselves went viral showing Rouhani visiting the site of a recent mine disaster and how protesters attacked his vehicle to voice their demands.
Raisi took to Instagram to livestream his rallies and staged question-and-answer sessions, a move considered unprecedented in Iranian politics.
Dissident activists, especially those connected with the PMOI/MEK network of supporters inside the country, have gone the distance recently and braved many risks to make their voices heard and spread the message of Iranian opposition leader Maryam Rajavi.
If arrested these activists will most certainly be tortured and most probably executed as any support for the PMOI/MEK inside Iran would be crossing a major red line for the mullahs' regime.
Despite the regime in its entirety boasting a high general turnout vote, this trend of dissent most definitely signals yet another major boycott by the Iranian population.

into notice about Iran's façade presidential election.
"Fact is, in Iran the question isn't who gets the most votes, but who's counting them. And those counting them this year clearly favor Raisi, a hardliner judge," according to The New York Post.
"All this seems to guarantee the next few years will be filled with hostility and provocations directed toward America from Tehran. Indeed, even if Rouhani gets another presidential term, it's already clear: The age of phony smiles between America and Iran is now over."
ANALYSIS: Adopting a different approach on Iran

Signaling a major buzz topic in Washington these days, with the international community waiting anxiously, the new US administration is on the verge of implementing a significant Iran policy overhaul.
America nearly lost all of its influence in the Middle East as a result of a devastating engagement policy captained by the Obama-Kerry team, all in a desperate effort to obtain Tehran's consent in completing the 2015 Iran nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
The impact of the support by the Obama Administration of the Arab Spring did the rest, as main Arab allies came under immense pressure.

Considering Obama's yearning to seal the JCPOA as the foreign policy hallmark of his legacy, he was seen succumbing to literally any and all demands made by the Iranians. Tehran understood and used this leverage to issue threats of walking away from the deal.
While President Trump has not torn up the deal as candidate Trump pledged, his administration has taken the lead to strongly criticize Iran's current behavior in the Middle East that poses a major threat to America's strategic position and the security of regional allies.
The Trump administration, unlike its fledgling predecessor, is weighing on how to bring Iran's mischievous behavior under control and have it completely halted.
Selling a false deal
The pro-JCPOA camp sold the deal to the international community by claiming Iran's mullahs' would become more moderate and begin acting reasonably.
Let's review the facts on the ground:
– The Middle East is in carnage, with Iran's Revolutionary Guards and proxies launching deadly killings in Syria in support of Assad, massacring Sunnis and other minorities in Iraq, supporting Houthi militants in Yemen, and the Lebanese Hezbollah, just to name a few.
– Tehran is continuing its ballistic missile program full speed ahead, preparing to couple the project with an ongoing secret nuclear weapons drive, as exposed recently by the Iranian opposition National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI).
– Military confrontations between US-Arab allies and Iranian forces continue, as shown in the Gulf and the Bab Al Mandab.
– Flagrant human rights violations and increasing domestic crackdown. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, now seeking a second term, has presided over 3,000 executions.
We were reminded recently by US Ambassador to the UN, Nikki Haley ,when she referred to existing Security Council resolutions banning Iran from importing or exporting arms, and end all ballistic missile testing.
Haley clearly indicated Trump will not allow such measures slide, as we witnessed far too often under the Obama watch.
"The United States will work closely with our partners to document and address any actions that violate these resolutions," Haley said. "We must take a stand against Iran and Hezbollah's illegal | [

and dangerous behavior."
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson also raised eyebrows in remarks unseen from America's top diplomat for many years. Iran continues to enjoy the top ranking of the State Department's list of state sponsors of terrorism. The nature of sanctions being vital to the national and security interests of America, and its regional allies in particular, will be a major topic of a new JCPOA review.
Fresh sanctions
Meanwhile, a new bill seeking to slap fresh sanctions against Tehran for continuing its illicit missile program is in the preparation process in the House of Representatives.
Sanctions and economic pressures are a major leverage the US enjoys against Tehran. Blocking access to the global banking system and compelling companies and various institutions to choose between America's $19 trillion economy and Iran's half a trillion should not make the decision any harder.
Irony lies in the fact that Obama initially boosted US sanctions against Iran, only to ignore Iran's highly belligerent proliferation activities and support for terrorism.
A recent Politico report highlighted how the Obama administration even released Iranian arms dealers apprehended by US authorities and dropped international arrest warrants seeking others. To this end, Obama literally risked US national security for the sake of appeasing Tehran's mullahs.
The Trump administration is set to draw a major line in the sand. Beefing up sanctions could be a major policy change adopted by the new White House. To take steps further, Washington should seriously consider designating the mullahs' Revolutionary Guards as a foreign terrorist organization for its role in Iran's meddling and supporting terrorism, extremism and Islamic fundamentalism across the Middle East, Tehran's ongoing military development programs -especially the ballistic missile drives – and horrific human rights violations across the country.
Missed opportunity
In 2009 Obama missed the opportunity to support the Iranian people's cry for freedom and democracy, and now the new US administration cannot stand again on the sidelines. Supporting the Iranian people and their organized opposition, currently openly represented by liberal movements such as the NCRI, seeking a democratic, secular and non-nuclear Iran, living in harmony with its regional neighbors and returning to the international community as a responsible member, could be a starting point.
If Washington would be able to address these options in full, not falling into the trap of removing the Iranian regime under the umbrella of "bringing democracy", but supporting a growing liberal democratic opposition, a better future for Iran is possible. This will take time, during which economic and political pressure should be increased on the regime. Appeasing the mullahs will not reap any positive rewards, Tehran will not see any need to change at all.

ANALYSIS: Is there anything Iran's presidential election can change?
April 24, 2017 Posted in Foreign Policy, Iran, Middle East, Nuclear, TerrorismTagged 1988 massacre, Ali Khamenei, Ebrahim Raisi, Hassan Rouhani, Human Rights Violations, Iran, Iran nuclear deal, Khomeini, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, May 19, May elections, Meddling, MEK, Middle East, Nuclear program, People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran, PMOI, Presidential Elections, Terrorism2 Comments
The US is said to be weighing a variety of different approaches on the regime ruling Iran after the upcoming May 19 presidential election.
This line of thought argues any punishing measure by the US now would support "hardliners" against "moderates". The problem is that any such distinction of Iran's political landscape is entirely incorrect.
The regime in Iran does not, to say the least, has the best interest of Iranians or people across the region at heart, let alone other nations throughout the planet. The argument of how the West's actions may affect Iran's elections fails to understand what Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his surrogates have in their playbooks.
In the elections, all candidates are vetted by a 12-cleric member Guardian Council body, effectively appointed directly and indirectly by Khamenei, as seen last Thursday. The list has now been trimmed to six | [

candidates.
The slate includes incumbent President Hassan Rowhani, hardline cleric Ebrahim Raisi, Iran's first vice president Eshaq Jahangiri, Tehran mayor Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, former minister of culture Mostafa Mirsalim and former industry minister Mostafa Hashemitaba.
A first glance indicates the remaining four will most probably step aside eventually in favor of Rowhani and Raisi.
Elections render no change
Iran's elections do not have any impact on domestic or foreign policy. In internal issues, the hallmark "moderate" Rouhani and former president Mohammad Khatami – also dubbed "moderate" and president from 1997 to 2005 – only increased domestic crackdown, including arrests, tortures and executions.
In the past four years, Rowhani has presided over nearly 3,000 executions – far more than his firebrand predecessor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
On foreign policy, never has there been the slightest difference in the regime's eagerness to advance its nuclear program. Most recently, Rowhani made remarks signaling a shocking contrast to other Iranian officials: he boasted of the highly flawed Iran nuclear deal.
"Nuclear technology is a dire necessity for us, and that is exactly why [Khamenei] constantly underscores the need to continue developing this technology," he said according to the semi-official ISNA news agency. Rowhani also boasted how his cabinet increased the defense budget.
"Statistics show [this] government has increased the defense budget by 145 percent… It is the pride of [this] government that the steps taken forward in providing strategic equipment and assets for the armed forces in the past 3½ years have matched those of the past 10 years," he explained.
Rowhani is also known for his close relationship with the regime's founder, Ruhollah Khomeini, dating back to 1979, while his main opponent, Raisi, spent the past three decades easily climbing up the regime's ranks for his role in the judiciary, and sending dissidents to the gallows without any hesitation.
Raisi is most famously known for his membership in the notorious "Death Commission," tasked to carry out Khomeini's fatwa leading to the summer of 1988 massacre that left more than 30,000 political prisoners dead in the span of a few months. Most of the victims were members and supporters of the Iranian opposition People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK).

A slate of wrongs
It would be a grave mistake for the US, and the West in general, to preemptively limit their available options on the theoretical basis of enjoying influence in the internal election, let alone its outcome, of a regime such as Iran.
A more critical mistake is constantly made by Western media, which tends to be easily misled over the scope of existing political opinions in Iran. The mere fact that Rouhani is embattled does not make him the ideal candidate for the West. A reflexive reaction in the West seems to be that if Raisi is worse, then let's support Rowhani.
Whoever ends up becoming Iran's next president, is – and has to be, for his own safety, politically and otherwise – absolutely in line with the supreme leader, and the radical direction of the Iranian regime in its entirety.
The mere assumption that potential US actions might be considered a major factor in Iran's presidential election simply fails to comprehend the true nature of Iran's political establishment, loyal only to the views of Khomeini. There is no representation by true liberals in Iran today, and nor should there be any such expectations in the future.
Even if the rivalry between Rowhani and Raisi ends with the "moderate" Rowhani gaining a second term, it changes absolutely nothing. Rowhani has been, and has to be, in service to Khamenei's policies. Rowhani advanced the supreme leader's nuclear policy after he blessed the nuclear talks back in 2012, prior to Rouhani's presidency.

ria and all the proxy militias in Iraq, Yemen, Bahrain and Libya, parallel to supervising increasing human rights violations.
Iran's presidential election is nothing but a game we witness every four years. The president has no true role in running the country, other than to implement the supreme leader's policies. Khamenei, the Supreme Leader, has the final say on all national security and foreign policy issues, while enjoying full, unrivaled supremacy.
Khamenei even has the authority, under the regime's so-called constitution, to veto and dismiss all powers provided to the president. The difference we will witness in Iran's approach to domestic and international affairs will be zero. That is exactly why designating the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) as a foreign terrorist organization should not be delayed for any reason – especially Iran's presidential election.
According to The Daily Beast the IRGC "are Iran's most important security, military, and political institution, with financial interests in most areas of the state's economy. Its Quds Force, which is in charge of global operations, was officially designated as a terrorist entity by the US Treasury Department in 2007. Hezbollah was designated in 1997."
It is now time to target the main root of the Middle East's crises.
Trump's strike against Assad in Syria: The message for Iran
April 11, 2017 Posted in Iran, Middle EastTagged Bashar Assad, Chemical attack, Damascus, Donald Trump, FTO, Idlib, Iran, IRGC, Khan Sheikhoun, Levant, Meddling, National Council of Resistance of Iran, NCRI, Presidential Elections, Revolutionary Guards, Shayrat, Syria, Tomahawk2 Comments
The United States military took decisive action early Thursday morning through launching a total of 59 precision guided Tomahawk cruise missiles targeting a Syrian airbase north of Damascus.
This site was believed to be used by Bashar Assad to carry out a horrific chemical weapons attack last Tuesday, leaving more than 500 killed and injured in Idlib Province of northwest Syria. Entire families were devastated, such as Abdulhamid al-Yussof, who lost 25 members of his family, including his wife and 9-month twin babies, Ahmed and Aya.
US President Donald Trump ordered the military strike, carried out by two US warships, the USS Porter and USS Ross, prior to his meeting with the visiting Chinese President Xi Jinping in Florida, possibly also sending a message also to North Korea about its nuclear ambitions.
More importantly, however, this strike, signaling a major shift in US policy, will be viewed as a strong message to Iran, being the main supporter of Assad regime throughout span of this atrocious six-year carnage against innocent civilians. And this turn of events couldn't have arrived at a more critical timing, only weeks prior to Iran's presidential election. Tehran will need to carefully evaluate the road ahead.
The strike
The very nature of the US attack, taking place at 3:40 am local time when minimum activity at the Shayrat airbase was expected, the fact that Washington had at least to some extent informed Moscow of its intentions prior to the strike, and the effort put in at the United Nations Security Council to obtain international consensus shows the objective was to deliver a political message to Assad, Iran and all other parties involved in Syria.
Reports indicate many hardened hangers and fueling stations at the airbase were destroyed. A more important statistic was also reported indicating Assad lost 9 to 14 Sukhoi warplanes, an asset fortunately very difficult for this regime to replace. Additionally, General Khalil Ebrahim, one of Assad's senior commanders, was killed in the strike along with a number of other Syrian regime troops involved in the horrific Khan Sheikhoun chemical attack.
International consensus
Following eight years of devastating inaction by the Obama administration, partly due to its seeking to seal a highly flawed deal supposedly intended to curb Iran's nuclear program, the global community has made its position loud and clear by voicing support for this measure against Assad.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francoise Hollande issued a joint statement supporting the US missile strike. Italian Foreign Minister Angelino Alf | [

Vinyl love: Orville Peck "Pony"
4 Comments on Vinyl love: Orville Peck "Pony"
(Vinyl Love is a series of posts that quite simply lists, describes, and displays the pieces in my growing vinyl collection. You can bet that each record was given a spin during the drafting of each corresponding post.)
Artist: Orville Peck
Album Title: Pony
Details: limited edition Urban Outfitters exclusive of 2000 copies on 'orange red' vinyl, poster
The skinny: We're only just a few months removed from 2019 and yet, it feels so long ago. Thus, now feels like as good as time as any to revisit my favourite albums of last year and so that's what I am going to do. Starting with my number five album, I am going to count them down again over the next bunch of weeks in this 'Vinyl love' space. I purchased this Urban Outfitters exclusive red-orange vinyl pressing of Orville Peck's debut album, "Pony", in December, but it had taken me the most of the year to gradually fall in love with it. Really, though, it was inevitable. As I said back in December: "A Lone Ranger mask with a long fringe, the ever present cowboy hats, and clothing that ranges from garish and sparkly to rough-hewn but slightly fey. He sings songs about cowboys with a voice Roy Orbison would be proud of, the whistles and plodding bass lines only slightly covering up that he is actually subverting the traditional idea of the cowboy."
Standout track: "Dead of night"

Live music galleries: Orville Peck [2019]
4 Comments on Live music galleries: Orville Peck [2019]
(I got the idea for this series while sifting through the 'piles' of digital photos on my laptop. It occurred to me to share some of these great pics from some of my favourite concert sets from time to time. Until I get around to the next one, I invite you to peruse my ever-growing list of concerts page.)
Orville Peck and his band at CityFolk, 2019
When: September 12th, 2019
Where: City stage, CityFolk, Lansdowne Park, Ottawa
Context: Just a few days ago, I posted about how Orville Peck's debut album, "Pony", made the number five spot on my best albums of the year list. As I mentioned there, I wasn't that high on it at first listen. However, with repeat spins, it quickly climbed the ranks and by the time September rolled around, I was solidly hooked. Peck's inclusion on the CityFolk lineup was the main reason I considered going at all this year. I had originally planned on going away on vacation in September but when that fell through, I took another look and bought a ticket for opening night. Orville Peck started off the festival proceedings and I'm sure the half the crowd that didn't know what it was in for, was baffled for at least a few songs. He was backed by Toronto post-punk outfit Frigs, trading in their usual threads for cowboy hats and vintage, western garb. The set was phenomenal, engaging, and hooting and hollering fun, all the way through.
Point of reference song: "Big sky"

like Orville Peck when I first listened to him, especially when I learned that the cover art to his debut album, "Pony", wasn't just that, but an actual portrait photo. And to be honest, I didn't think that much of it at first listen, quirky, yes, but also kitschy. With each successive listen, though, I delved deeper into the lyrics and the aesthetic that Peck is creating and yeah, it grew on me. Then, I saw him perform with his band at CityFolk back in the fall and the deal was sealed.
Orville Peck is a stage name. He wears a mask – all the time. He has worked to keep his real identity a secret but given our collective curious nature, we have tried to out him. The little information he has released in interviews, that he has toured quite a bit with punk bands, and that he is from the west coast of Canada, has music writers feeling sure that they have identified him. Peck has never confirmed, nor denied, and I won't give the suspected name here.
I'd say that it should be the music that's important but Peck has created an image here, a brand of sorts. A Lone Ranger mask with a long fringe, the ever present cowboy hats, and clothing that ranges from garish and sparkly to rough-hewn but slightly fey. He sings songs about cowboys with a voice Roy Orbison would be proud of, the whistles and plodding bass lines only slightly covering up that he is actually subverting the traditional idea of the cowboy. I remember seeing an exchange on social media between Peck and some critical troll sneering that he wasn't country, perhaps pointing to the invasion of indie and dream pop sounds on the rodeo. And Peck merely scoffed about the troll being head of the "country police".
All that to say, "Pony" is quite the debut that has turned a lot of heads, not just for the enigma, but also the obvious talent. Have a listen to my three picks for you below and see what you think.
"Dead of night": The opening track sets the mood and tone from the beginning. "Dead of night" starts with a lonely guitar intro and finishes with a jaunty banjo outro, calling to mind singing cowboy balladry, full moons, cactus and tumbleweed, coyotes and yodelling, the bonfire at night while the trusty steed is tied a ways away. A lonely remembering of a travelling companion that might've been more than just friends, a worried outlaw. "The sun goes down, another dreamless night. You're right by my side, you wake me up, you say it's time to ride in the dead of night." Forlorn and haunting.
"Turn to hate": A song about being on the outside of things, an outlaw, a migrant cowboy, a musician constantly tour, wearing a mask or otherwise. "Walking out towards the gate. You'll all be stars, now just you wait, done enough to take the bait. Don't let my sorrow turn to hate." It builds from a quiet, almost whispery intro to something of a barn burner, guitars a-flashing, boots a-jumping, and Peck's by now well-worn vocals warmed up and on a tear. He's trying not to let the isolation get to him but it's hard. He just wants it all to be okay. And damned if it doesn't feel great.
"Big sky": It all starts with that big and vaunted guitar again, Peck singing gently against it with the pluck of banjo and the shake of a rattlesnake. He is out on the desert plain, alone on his horse, nothing but the wind, the echo, and the huge expanse all around him. There's something menacing about all the quiet, as if his backing band is made up of ghosts, the ghosts of relationships past. "Fell in love with a rider, dirt king, black crown." He sings all of this with passion and hurt and a bit of his angsty punk showing. Indeed, it doesn't quite feel like he's crying in his beer, does it?
Check back next Tuesday for album #4. In the meantime, here are the previous albums in this list:

Near Shore Trolling charters target Gulf of Mexico fish species that travel along the beaches of the Alabama Gulf Coast and the mackerel BITE HAS BEEN ON since late July 2014. Both spanish & king mackerel are thick in the near shore waters (within sight of land) of the Gulf Shores, Orange Beach, Fort Morgan AL, and Perdido Key FL beaches. Trolling is a type of fishing where a couple of lines are used to drag behind the fishing vessel while the boat is moving. The bait is kept moving near the top of the water to attract these pelagic fish species such as mackerel, bonita (also known as little tuny) jack crevalle and various other gulf of mexico fish species. Once a fish nibbles on the line, the mate will pass the line to one of the anglers to reel in the fighting fish.
The Alabama Gulf Coast is a popular destination for families traveling with their children on vacation. Gulf Shores AL deep sea fishing trolling trips offer a great setting for quality family time fishing in the Gulf of Mexico. If your group prefers to have a boat for themselves, private near shore fishing charters can be arranged for any size group. AAA Charters also specializes in matching groups together to charter semi-private fishing trips (these are also known as walk 0n or shared expense charters). We take the time to talk with each of our customers to understand their group and what type of fishing appeals to them the most, and then pairing them together with similar anglers for a charter. Call AAA Charters at 251-609-2525 for details and reservations.
Four Arizona Lady Anglers Traveled to Alabama to Battle a Shark & they did!
AAA Charters matched a mom traveling to AL with 3 teenage girls to shark fish, with a father with two boys that wanted to fish in the Gulf. During the afternoon semi-private fishing charter, everyone had lots of opportunities to reel in fish. When a large shark was on the line, all 4 Ladies helped with the reel. They took a few pictures and let the shark swim away. All the kids came back to the dock with big smiles.

Several times a year AAA Charters arranges for a Gulf Coast University to charter a multi-passenger fishing vessel (with a large, round live well) to collect live red snapper to transport back to spawning tanks. The goals of these trips include: improving our understanding of red snapper reproduction; creating ideal breeding conditions for the red snapper in captivity; and ultimately releasing as many red snapper as possible back into the Gulf of Mexico.
The Gulf of Mexico sharks that typically gather along our shores in the summer months added an extra challenge to our latest research trip. Sharks are attracted to the smell of bait in the water and the commotion created while deep sea fishing. The weather was perfect, the marine conditions were ideal, and quite a few sharks ate well targeting the reef fish our research anglers were trying to reel in.
For the purposes of this research project, 6 lb – 8 lb. live red snapper needed to be collected because this is the size red snapper that are sexually mature, and have the highest survival rate in captivity for breeding. A few of the snapper caught were too small; but many were too big for the saltwater tanks. There are still lots of big red snapper off the coast of Alabama. The target size fish were kept in a large round live well, and then moved to large transport tanks to be trucked back to the Sea Lab.
Too big for the snapper spawning tanks so back into the Gulf it went.
While targeting red snapper the crew caught a bonus tasty Gulf of Mexico delight, Cobia (also known in other areas as lemon fish or | [

I'm a winner, just not a big one.
I attended "XYZ Corp's" "Holiday Party" last night at Sweetwater Brewing. After eating vegetarian food for dinner and as I was consuming free beer I heard my raffle number get called. As I rarely win raffles I was thrilled, especially as I started thinking about choosing one of the three sets of Apple AirPods that were sitting on the prize table — and then I was handed a $25 Starbucks gift card as my prize. Dangen! Don't get me wrong, I am happy to spend $25 at Starbucks, but I really wanted those AirPods as I am too frugal to buy them.
Barb, I made this Acorn Squash Soup last night. The recipe didn't go as planned, but I managed to make alterations and wound up with a delicious soup.
Sorry to be a Luddite, but what is an Airpod?
HEAT! Wonderful heat! (Sung to the tune of "Food, Glorious food"). I'm sure the dogs are happy. I still have 3 blankets on the bed… something about the weight is so comfortable.
I saw the derailed train cars had been removed from the tracks, but there were still 2 small service vehicles on the tracks. They were single tracking from CPK to ATL, which was causing a delay. They should be back to normal soon.
Debbie sent GLORIOUS pictures from today's hunt. Apparently we're also moving to Ireland.
Steve – moving to Ireland – won't your Scottish friends be mad at you if you do that?
I love having the weight of an extra blanket on the bed – one of the reasons we don't have the thermostat in the house set all that high.
AirPods are Apple's wireless earplugs. Everyone I know who has them loves them, but they retail for $149.
I have some that came with my phone, but have never used them.
and – I'm with Bonnie – I know I would lose them – so they are still in the box.
WordPress is taking the day off from notifying me about your comments. Poop.
Just realized that I have an Amazon delivery that I need to pick up today. I guess I'll be getting some bonus exercise. Also, I have an order that was "delivered" to them but still not available for pickup; guess I'll be having a conversation with an employee today too.
I got an email with my updated car insurance cards from USAA, but never got an email saying when the payment is due. So, I just paid it (with my AmEx, so I get my FF miles and I really don't have to pay it until next month.
Nice evening celebrating a friend's birthday with a few gals at Barcelona in Inman Park. My first time there. It was fine, but it's no Midway Pub 😁. Going to my first non-campout SoCo tonight! Busted's Christmas tree burning! Come on out you guys! It's in my area, but you can do it! 🙌🏻 Come to Black Sheep Sunday too at Arabia Mountain… you'll get to see my glory mole for my 20th jubilee 😉😂.
Get all of your Black Sheep deets at Black Sheep Hash, that cool URL that redirects you to the BS website.
Bonnie, you already have more BS's than me, though that's not really hard to do.
Those Airpods are cheap compared to what I use. Bose "Hearphones".
There is a chance we will come to Black Sheep, Allan is working 2 days in a row, but hopefully he will get some sleep Saturday night so he doesn't have to sleep all day Sunday.
Hash happy hour is in Dunwoody – that will be as much hashing as I can handle tonight.
The age cut off was 40 years old! Children! Mere children.
So, was looking thru my AmEx bill to find a charge, figured out the hotel we stayed at for the Hyox party charged me $327.20. hotel was to be paid for by Hyox. (PLUS – that room was not a $300 hotel room) I really need to look thru that bill more closely every month. Anyway -finally got the credit from the | [

Movie Review: Sucker Punch
Sucker Punch is everything I thought it would be… and that is not a good thing. For as much as director Zack Snyder has made his name in visual style, I'm afraid that he has let style completely trump substance in what seems to be a ratcheting up of his very well examined aesthetic sensibility. Beginning with my favorite zombie movie at this point, 2004's Dawn of the Dead remake, he wowed us by giving us a genre film with not so much a twist to the tale but a more a twist in how we see it played out… and with 300, Snyder found exactly what he was looking for.
Comic books seem to color everything he has done… whether it was zombies, homoerotic Spartans, giant naked blue penis or talking Australian owls he appeared to by drawing a humungous graphic novel on the screen. Sucker Punch is no exception. The dialogue sounds as stilted as a panel by panel bit of conversation… as though the screenplay, a first for director Snyder, were written on storyboards as opposed to paper (more realistically a computer screen… I know). And that is it's weakest link.
Like Watchmen, the opening montage plays out silently and immediately we are immersed in this dark, blue filtered world. Baby Doll (Emily Browning), who apparently wears thigh highs in all situations, is distraught as her mother dies, her stepfather attempts to rape her and then she accidentally kills her sister while trying to keep the stepfather off of the younger girl. This is all played out to the sound of a cover of the Eurythmics' Sweet Dreams… the evil stepfather then sends her to the Lennox House for the Criminally Insane where he plans to have her lobotomized in five days in order to keep her quiet. And within five minutes we have the groundwork laid for the rest of the story… how can Baby Doll escape?
The plot is thin, but effective in keeping the pace of the story moving… I will do my best not to spoil. The images from the trailer that make this film look so incongruous; giant samurai with chain gun, dragon, WWI trenches and most importantly, five young women dressed in anachronistic fetishized bondage gear kicking ass… these all make sense (in so far as any of it can) when placed into what are essentially Inception-like layers of reality… and the key to understanding which world you are in seem to be recognizing when a particular villain, Blue (Oscar Isaac) has a mustache… as if he were ready to twirl it if it were longer.
Joining Baby Doll in her quest for escape are a pair of sisters, Sweet Pea (Abbie Cornish) and Rocket (Jena Malone), Blondie (Vanessa Hudgens) and Amber (Jamie Chung)… all hyper sexualized young women meant to drag every fanboy into the theater in a drooling, panting mass. I suspect Snyder believed he was making a pro-feminism statement, but it ends up coming off as a bit exploitative and kinky. If I were still 14 or 15, I think I would be proclaiming this movie as the greatest thing since the big bang… but I'm not. Carla Gugino has a meaty dominatrix role and John Hamm makes an all too brief appearance. Rounding out the cast is Scott Glenn, who upon seeing the dreck he was having to say in the trailer terrified me for what his role would be in the end… but his was an almost welcome character who appears to be Baby Doll's alter-reality Yoda.
If this were a videogame, it would be quite awesome… but it is a movie. Yes the visuals are incredible… every geek's wet dream… violence, the aforementioned giant samurai, dragon, biplanes and trenches… not to mention orcs, creepy German WWI baddies who expunge steam instead of blood and who can forget the robots… all in one movie. As if his intent was to have it "all | [

Mastering the 'Chiff'
Interview with Jewgenij Ilarionov
The Ukraine recorder maker Jewgenij Ilarionov is especially appreciated for his knowledge around the reconstruction of some of the earliest models of original recorders. Nik Tarasov spoke with him about his inspiration, developing and understanding in this field.
Dear Jewgenij, you live in the Ukraine, and the country is not really known for being a place where the recorder is played much. How do you got in contact with the instrument?
First I played guitar like most teenagers. I bought some books and through that I learned to read music. Once in the 1980ties, one guy showed me a Jupiter soprano recorder. These instruments were made in the GDR, so they were very cheap and easy to buy in our country. It was not possible to learn it in school these days, so I started to play it by myself as an autodidact.
Did the recorder then became a window to another kind of musical culture, even to other countries?
Sure, but even before I started to play music myself, I listened to all kinds of music very much. I bought any record I can get, mostly LPs from the Soviet Union. There were at least two professional early-music ensembles from there: one from Tallin, which was called Hortus Musicus and one from Moscow, which was called Madrigal. So I felt very special to listen to early-music recordings. It was even more special like listening to popular music.
Have you thought about studying music?
Not at all.I graduated in university in mathematics and started to work as a scientist. But I left my job for different reasons: I was not really inspired, and I also did not wanted to work in projects for the military, as I was kind of a hippie-minded guy. I liked hitchhiking and so I travelled much around, even to Tajikistan, and during that time I played music all the time. Life was easy: I was able to find some kind of well-paid job for half of a year which made it possible to live freely and relaxed for some two years.
But when the recorder crossed your way again?
It was the time of Perestroika when I heard the first 'good' recorder playing in reality by a German ensemble (maybe Rameau consort, or Marais consort – I don't remember), and it was good historical interpretation. As in these days most educated people have been interested in all kinds of things on a rather high cultural level, even early-music had a forum in usual philharmonic concerts. So the access became principally easy for everyone. This concert by the German group was a big inspiration, and I immediately got some first technical ideas about blowing and saw copies of 'real' recorders. And I realized for the first time that the school recorders I played were bad instruments. During the conversation with a musician from another group, the Madrigal ensemble from Moscow, I was told that there is somebody who not only plays but also makes early-music instruments. So, "you can also try this", he said. So with the help of a friend, who was a worker and had tools, skill and a lathe to do such kind of things, I made my first instruments. Not yet in the way of a professional maker of coarse, but just for myself: Some renaissance transverse flutes and a recorder, copied of an instrument made by Mollenhauer. The process of making and the search for knowledge collected by other people inspired me more than anything else!
In the 1990ties the Iron Curtain was opened. Had it then become easier to connect to the western early-music movement?
Yes and no. When the Ukraine and Russia became different states, the contacts in the field of early music were disunited and became uneasy. My personal situation also became very unstable. But then a miracle happened to me. You know that there are situations in life when you meet people and this feels like an explosion. There were some students of the music academy in Kiev who became involved in early music because they earned good money by playing for tourists in touristic places. And in these terms baroque music worked best. So I had appropriate instruments, and they have been looking to get instruments like this. Suddenly this was the first perfect situation – in 1992, just one year after independence of the Soviet Union. The second thing was that these students had a nice feeling and played really well, but they were not informed about historical interpretation yet. Again I offered them some personal help, because I had certain ideas through my records and my books. And I | [

even knew to play recorder on the level of Handel sonatas including some proper ornamentation. So this became a nice cooperation: it was the first time that I had the opportunity to play with professionals, and after two months of working together we played our first concert in a theatre hall. Through this we were told that a choir was planning a project to play some baroque repertoire and was looking for an accompanying ensemble with baroque instruments. The next miracle was that they told us: "in half a year we are doing a concert in Germany and you can come with us!" Finally we went there two times. And this meant to me that in a rather short time I woke up not as the former amateur but as somebody who obviously was able to play on a high level with professionals who even used instruments made by me!
What kind of inputs have you received through your new environment?
Through these western connections and friends I heard that Peter Reidemeister, the former chief of the Schola Cantorum in Basle would come together with other people for giving masterclasses in St. Petersburg. There they invited some of my musically gifted friends and members from our ensemble to visit Switzerland and to do further studies there. This was made possible through the support of financial grants, at least for the first year of the stay. So also through all this I had the opportunity to come to Switzerland for the first time in 1996. One of the things I learned here was to get rid of my naïve thinking and I discovered how far my instruments were from a real professional level. So from that on I returned to Basle each summer, played at the station to earn money for my living there and spent all my free time in libraries for the theoretical background: I copied all possible things that seem to help me on my long way. So this was again self-education as I decided not to try to go on playing music on a professional level but to become a professional instrument maker. In Basle I received my first good advice by professional players how to improve my instruments. Here I also got the first opportunity to see the famous Japanese edition of Fred Morgan's drawings of original recorders and I spent three months just studying them; my friends helped to get some other drawings, most important were Rosenborg and Elblag recorders. It was in the music museum in Basle where I have seen my first original instruments during an occasion when Conrad Steinmann organized a tour for his students. But in the year 2000 it was not possible anymore to play on them, so the main thing was the study the measurements in drawings of old instruments.
What kind of models attracted you? How about your plans to make your deal in central Europe as an instrument maker?
I collected notes on whatever I could. Much was also driven simply in the drawings and measurements of old instruments I was able to get. By coincidence I came over information on the medieval recorder found in Elblag, and my copies of it became a first centre of interest. It became sort of a niche as most people were used to play medieval music on things like Ganassi recorders. When I started with it in 2001, nobody really took up a copy of this curious Elblag recorder. Just Annette Bauer took it to America, and I started to explain the characteristics of this type of recorder wherever I could. Around 2007 people then obviously had changed their mind, and the Elblag recorder started to become more accepted. For good reason: The Elblag and Tartu instruments survived in pretty good shape if you think how old they are! The diameters, the size of the fingerholes and, most important, the window is preserved. It shows that compared to 'usual' sopranos, the window size (cut up) of this recorders is very big. The challenge for the maker is to make this instrument speak without changing the original voicing. And this means a lot of time and a lot of work. One of the main complication is to make the two lowest notes stable. In 2000 life in my country was cheap, thus I was not forced to produce sort of mainstream instruments for the market. I had time to experiment and to search for the best possible solution of a close copy on an original and the way how in has to be played well.
What was your first strong impression how medieval music works?
It was in 2000 when Pierre Hamon together with his ensemble Alla Francesca gave a concert in Kiev playing Machaut's music. It was the first time that I heard a recorder in concert (made by Adrian Brown after Rafi) with this rather high cut up! I later realized that most modern rec | [

order makers used to make smaller cut up of the windows as shown on most originals from that period in order to produce a more 'normal' clear recorder sound (for example, in Adrian Brown's Renaissance Recorder Database most of altos have cut up more than 5 mm, and tenors more than 6 mm). But the interesting thing here was that although the event took place in a much too big opera hall, these two tenor recorders were still audible because they produced this typical 'chiff' – a short non-harmonic noisy attack at the beginning of the tone. Although the sound was small and I was sitting far away, I could hear it! Now think, in most countries folk recorders have also this feature. If you think of the Irish Whistle, the window is also very high cut up. The same in some registers of the organ. The produced 'chiff' is very important. And there are many different kinds and qualities of such a 'chiff'! This feature is related to the size of the recorder's window. For example, on a 'conventional' soprano in C (pitched on A = 440 Hertz) with a window size from 3.5 to 3.8 mm this will not work, but from 4,2 mm or more it will definitively produce such a 'chiff'.
How this interesting feature is worked out on relevant recorders? What are the important parameters in their construction?
Thinking of drawings of instruments from the 17th century like the Rosenborg recorder or the Kynseker recorders from Nuremberg, there is another point in the construction or realization of the voicing: unlike instruments from the 18th century there is no chamfer. And this is no wonder, because trough my experience, chamfers make the function of the 'chiff' weak. And secondly, big chamfers make the attack slow. On the contrary, there seem to have been a taste at least until the middle of the 17th century for the fast attack. Think of van Eyck's music which works pretty well on a Rosenborg soprano. This instrument in the size of about a modern instrument in D (just pitched a little bit lower) has a rather big window of around 4.2 mm and definitively no chamfers (at least on the drawing).
Another point is that all the excavated medieval recorders (from Dordrecht, Göttingen, Elblag and Tartu) produce a semitone on the lowest fingerhole. This means that this kind of feature is a first step away from instruments with the basic note on the sixth fingerhole (like all kinds of whistles) to that what we are used to call a recorder, which has the basic note on the seventh upper fingerhole. Thinking in this logical system means that six holes are enough to play diatonic music when using one or just a few scales. For compositions which begin to use more scales or use modulation, this is less appropriate and the musician needs another type of instrument: From what we know today is that the recorder with seven upper fingerholes first appeared shortly before 1400.
There is an interesting feature on the Elblag recorder: fundamental on the 6th hole and leading tone on the 7th already remind on bagpipes, but even more: with opening the 4th hole, holes 5 and 6 have to be closed and kept like this for all higher notes – it reminds the "half-closed fingering" on great highland pipe or cornemuse de Berry. When I made a first prototype, it appeared that all notes starting from 4th are too sharp, but with closed 5th and 6th holes they were well in tune.
In consequence there is also no regular minor third on the scale that starts from hole six. If you want to play a minor scale, start from hole five. Basically you have more or less two keys on such an instrument: one (or two) for major and one for minor. As most medieval tunes are in minor you play them starting from hole five.
Ironically for us recorder players, the world of whistles should be principally very close, but in reality it is pretty far away. But the mutual understanding of different fingering systems can be very instructive.
This is funny. There should be more intersection between recorder players and players of whistles! There are folk musicians who are mostly used to perform on the whistle. Also today in the Ukraine, we have very good players of the whistle or the transverse Irish flute but no good recorder players (at least I don't | [

Dental Product Liability, What you didn't know!
Product Liability, It's Your Choice!

Product Liability, It's Your Choice! Pay a Little Now or a Lot Later!
Product Liability is something most dental offices don't concern themselves with just because it is not on the "front line" of your business battle. However, in military terms, don't let yourself get flanked!
Product liability is what I call the silent killer. Your clinical liability (malpractice) is directly affected by the performance of the materials you use. You have an insurance policy that backs you up for malpractice litigation but is you need to engage that insurance, what happens to your rates?
If a clinical material fails and a patient begins litigation, the plaintiff's lawyers will go after everyone. Even though all steps and procedures were followed and documented in the patients chart, you are the most vulnerable and you will need to defend yourself. However, the manufacturer whose product failed has "product liability insurance" that could back you up and stave off any financial damage.
All licensed dental materials manufactures carry product liability insurance usually in excess of $2M/ incident. Henry Schein, as well as other 1st tier distributors, carry additional insurance but insist on manufactures to provide their "proof of insurance" or their products will not be distributed. As an example, last year a large and popular dental manufacture was late in providing proof and Schein stopped the distribution of their products until the documents were received.
So, did you ever ask your vendors for their proof of insurance? Did you know that if a supplier is not authorized to distribute a product the manufacturer has no liability to you? Are you using "guaranteed materials"? Maybe not…..I would suggest contacting your suppliers and get in writing a product liability statement. Also, you may want to contact some of the material manufacturers (Dentsply, Kerr, 3M, GC America, etc.) and get a better understanding of their support for product failure when the procurement of the material is from your favorite supplier. And, consult with your insurance and legal advisors on how to protect and prepare for what could hit you from the blind side.
By the way, Dr. Gordon Christensen also has an opinion on the issue, ask the CRA. The bottom line is don't be penny wise and dollar foolish when it comes to your business dealings.
What if you could map out your perfect day? Wouldn't life be great if you could take the guesswork out of scheduling and meet your production goals every day? If you could make this happen in your Dentrix software, would you be interested?
Using the Dentrix Perfect Day Scheduling is the way to map out your perfect day, take all the guesswork out of scheduling, and help your office schedule to goal. I have used it in my office and implemented it in many other offices and the results are amazing! Using the Perfect Day Scheduling, however, takes a lot of discipline on the part of anyone who schedules appointments in your office. It takes a strong will to look at the new patient time block at 4 p.m. and not give it away to your patient of record who is looking for something after school. It also takes some good verbal skills to direct the patient into a spot that has been mapped out for a certain type of procedure. If you and your team can all agree that this is in the office's best interest, then you will see amazing results … both in patient flow and production.
Conference time is here! The team here at AADOM can't wait to see you down in the land of Mouse! September will be here before you know it and the kids will be returning for another school year. But YOU will be meeting new friends and catching up with old ones at the beautiful Gaylord Palms Resort in Orlando all while getting an exceptional education. Unless, of course, you bring the kids and turn this into a family vacation!
The line-up this year is education packed and full of what I like to call 'fun to listen to' speakers. They deliver their education with p | [

The Priest who Burned the Material of His Sodomite Predecessor is Ordered to Psychiatric Ward while Priest who Possessed the Material is Given a Three Day Grand Funeral by Diocese.
From the American Conservative,
paul-kalchik-persecuted-priest-chicago-cupich
Here is the most poignant part of the article. Spoken of below is the death of the sodomite "pastor" of "Resurrection parish" in Chicago. This material is not fit for children, but it is a necessary "picking up of the rock" of the Novus Ordo church. Here is the paragraph. Full article can be read by clicking the link above.
Here is a link to a 10-minute on-camera Church Militant interview with Father Paul Kalchik, the Chicago priest who is now in hiding after being tossed from his parish by Cardinal Blase Cupich. Kalchik lost his position after presiding over the burning of a rainbow flag that had a cross stitched on it. In the early 1990s, the gay pastor of Resurrection parish hung it over the altar as a sign that the parish was gay-friendly. After Kalchik and fellow parishioners ritually disposed of the flag recently, the cardinal ordered him removed from the parish, and allegedly commanded him to go to St. Luke's, a mental health treatment center best known for treating clerical pederasts.
Kalchik fled — he says to avoid being arrested. In the final three minutes of the interview I link to above, Kalchik talks about the death of the gay pastor, Daniel Montalbano, who was found dead in his rectory bedroom of a heart attack in 1997. Kalchik says that three deacons saw Montalbano hooked up to some sort of "sex machine." Montalbano had walls covered by mirrors. In cleaning out Montalbano's room, deacons found two closets full of gay pornography — magazines, videos, and so forth. Kalchik says the deacons took them out to be burned, and were ordered by the Archdiocese never to speak of these things.
Here is another report in which Fr. Kalchik explains why he burned the Rainbow flag:

Here are the words of Father Kalchik, explaining why he did what he did.
As events have unfolded over the last month, we find the Church engulfed in a great battle. Many cardinals, bishops and even the Pope seem to be living double lives. They, at times, speak eloquently about the Faith and present themselves as men striving for holiness. But then the records show they are either living very sinful lives or have covered up for others who do so, leaving them to prey on more victims.
And also, when asked to speak about the abuse, they play it down; they are more concerned with global warming, migrant issues and fake homophobia than their real mission of saving souls. Thusly, many of the faithful have found themselves shaken, deeply disturbed, because the institutional Church has been revealed to be a sham. The Church is at war, but this war is anything but civil.
A week ago, I was threatened with removal of my faculties to serve as a priest by those in charge at the archdiocese. They told me in no uncertain terms that we could not burn a rainbow banner as it would be offensive to the gay community.
A week ago, I was threatened with removal of my faculties to serve as a priest by those in charge at the archdiocese.
This does not scare me. Over the course of my life, I have been to Hell and back a couple times over. I recognize what is evil and have vowed to God to take steps to thwart that evil. God grants authority, and I follow my conscience, formed by His law. The gay banner superimposed over Our Lord's Cross, a symbol of Our Lord's Passion, had to go.
Instead of a public display, which had every chance of turning violent, based on many hate-filled profane phone calls, the banner was burned privately, with a small group of our regular adorers of the Blessed Sacrament assisting in cutting it to pieces. Then, a prayer of ex | [

Geschichte
Die erste schriftliche Erwähnung von Kladoruby erfolgte 1368 als Teil der Herrschaft Mohelno. Im Jahre 1486 wurde das Dorf an Zikmund von Kladorub verpfändet. Im Jahre 1527 wurde das Dorf zusammen mit dem Gut Mohelno der Herrschaft Namiescht zugeschlagen. 1535 befreite Wenzel d. Ä. von Lomnitz das Städtchen Mohelno sowie die Dörfer Kradrub, Popuwka, Kramolin und Lhanitz von der Anfallsverbindlichkeit. Nach dem Aussterben der Herren von Lomnitz gehörte Kradrub zu dem Teil der Herrschaft Namiescht, der 1567 Friedrich von Zierotin zufiel. Während des Dreißigjährigen Krieges verkaufte Karl der Ältere von Žerotín die Herrschaft 1628 seinem Schwager Albrecht von Waldstein. Dieser veräußerte sie bald an Johann Baptist Verda von Verdenberg, der die Herrschaft 1630 zur Grafschaft erheben ließ. Nachfolgende Grundherren waren ab 1666 die Herren von Enckevort, danach ab 1743 die Grafen von Kuefstein und ab 1752 die Grafen Haugwitz. Unter den Grafen Haugwitz erfolgte eine Gestaltung des Oslawatals zum Jagd- und Erholungsgebiet.
Im Jahre 1842 bestand das im Znaimer Kreis gelegene Dorf Kraderub bzw. Kladoruby aus 21 Häusern, in denen 131 Personen lebten. Im Ort gab es ein Wirtshaus. Abseits lag ein herrschaftlicher Meierhof mit einem Jägerhaus. Pfarr- und Schulort war Mohelno. Bis zur Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts blieb Kraderub der Fideikommissgrafschaft Namiescht untertänig.
Nach der Aufhebung der Patrimonialherrschaften bildete Kladoruby / Kraderub ab 1849 mit dem Ortsteil Kramolín eine Gemeinde im Gerichtsbezirk Namiest. Ab 1869 gehörte Kladoruby zum Bezirk Trebitsch. Zu dieser Zeit hatte das Dorf 159 Einwohner und bestand aus 24 Häusern. Zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts wurden Kladeruby und Kladruby als Ortsnamen verwendet, später auch Kraderuby. Eine Dorfschule wurde 1893 eröffnet. Im Jahre 1900 lebten in Kladruby 256 Personen; 1910 waren es 227. Durch die Bezirkshauptmannschaft Trebitsch wurde 1912 Kladeruby nad Oslavou als amtlicher Gemeindename festgelegt. Kramolín löste sich 1921 los und bildete eine eigene Gemeinde. Beim Zensus von 1921 lebten in den 40 Häusern der Gemeinde 226 Tsche | [

Sea Change: Carbon dioxide imperils marine ecosystems
By Sid Perkins
Almost half the carbon dioxide produced by human activity in the past 2 centuries is now dissolved in the oceans. It's wreaking chemical changes there that, if unchecked, could threaten the capacity of corals and other marine organisms to make their hard shells and skeletons, scientists say.
SHELL BLAME. Increased atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide can inhibit shell growth in marine organisms such as Clio pyramidata, a free-swimming snail. Fabry
From 1800 to 1994, fossil fuel use and industrial processes such as cement production generated some 900 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide. Atmospheric concentrations of the planet-warming greenhouse gas rose during that period from about 280 parts per million to around 360 ppm, says Christopher L. Sabine, an oceanographer at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in Seattle. He reports that data garnered during more than 95 recent transoceanic research cruises suggest that much carbon dioxide ended up in the oceans as well.

Between 1989 and 1998, seagoing researchers measured the oceans' temperature, pH, salinity, and other aspects of marine chemistry from the water's surface to the seafloor. In a report in the July 16 Science, Sabine and his colleagues estimate that between 1800 and 1994, the world's oceans absorbed about 433 billion metric tons of industrial carbon dioxide.
The threat to shell-making marine life follows from the carbonic acid (H2CO3) that forms when carbon dioxide dissolves in water. In the ocean, much of that acid reacts with carbonate ions in the water to form nonacidic compounds (SN: 8/17/02, p. 104: Available to subscribers at Tums of the Sea).
Carbonate ions are abundant in most surface waters, and corals | [

and some free-swimming organisms use the material to form their calcium carbonate skeletons or shells, says Richard A. Feely, a marine chemist also at NOAA in Seattle. As ocean chemistry has slowly changed over the past 2 centuries, however, there's been a decrease in the range of depths at which the two most common forms of biomineralized calcium carbonate—aragonite and calcite—can dissolve.
During that period, the lowest depth at which aragonite saturates the water has migrated upward as much as 150 meters in the tropical Atlantic, for example. Below that boundary, the shells and skeletons of marine organisms can dissolve. In parts of the northern Pacific, the lower boundary for calcite saturation is as much as 100 m shallower than it was in 1800. Feely, Sabine, and others report their findings in a second study in the July 16 Science.
Shallower depths of carbonate-ion saturation in the future may be bad news for organisms that use the material to make their hard parts, says Victoria J. Fabry, a biological oceanographer at California State University in San Marcos and a coauthor of one of the studies. In shipboard observations of small, free-swimming snails collected from the North Pacific and placed in closed jars of surface water, she found that as the animals' breathing elevated the concentration of carbon dioxide in the jar, carbonate ions in the water rapidly decreased, thereby inhibiting new growth of the creatures' shells.
Scientists had previously noted similar effects in coral. In large-scale studies on an enclosed artificial reef in Monaco, coral growth dropped as much as 21 percent when researchers boosted the concentration of carbon dioxide in the enclosure to 560 ppm. In a similar experiment in Arizona's Biosphere II near Tucson, doubling the air's carbon dioxide concentration decreased coral growth by 40 percent.
Assessing the full ecological impacts of the carbon dioxide–induced acidification of seawater is an important task for the future, comments Taro Takahashi of Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, N.Y.

(CNN) -- Newcastle's 16-year stay in the English Premier League has come to an end as a Damien Duff own goal saw them lose 1-0 at Aston Villa.
Newcastle players react after Damien Duff's own goal sees them relegated from the Premier League.
Duff deflected a 38th-minute shot from Gareth Barry past his own keeper Steve Harper to seal Newcastle's fate.
Newcastle's misery was complete when defender David Edgar was sent off for a late challenge on England winger Ashley Young.
The result meant Magpies legend Alan Shearer failed to work the miracle he was brought in to try and achieve with eight games remaining.
Newcastle will be joined in the Championship by Middlesbrough, who were beaten 2-1 at West Ham and West Bromwich Albion, whose relegation was already confirmed prior to Sunday's final matches.
Both Hull and Sunderland survived the drop, despite both also losing their final matches.
Hull were beaten 1-0 at home by a second-string Manchester United side, while Sunderland lost 3-2 at home to Chelsea in Guus Hiddink's final game in charge of the London side.
Despite escaping relegation, Sunderland manager Ricky Sbragia -- who had only been in charge for five months after Roy Keane's relegation -- announced his decision to resign at the end of their match.
Meanwhile, Newcastle have paid the price for a season of instability ever since Kevin Keegan decided to quit as manager in early September and owner Mike Ashley decided to put the club up for sale.
Joe Kinnear was brought in to try and rescue the situation until his heart problems terminated his involvement and led to former England and Newcastle striker Shearer getting the call.
But it was always going to be an uphill task to reverse a season of under-achievement and turmoil in such a short space of time.
Now Shearer has to decide whether he wants to take on the task of trying to help the Magpies regain their top flight status and is due to have talks with Ashley early next week.
"It's painful and it hurts. It's been a great experience for me and in a weird way I have enjoyed it," Shearer told Sky Sports."But lets get something straight, we didn't go down because of today, but because we weren't good enough after 38 games.
"Big changes need to be made at this club, players need to go and others have to arrive because, collectively, we were not good enough to survive."
Newcastle's result ensured Hull stayed in the Premier League, despite their defeat against champions Manchester United.
As expected, United manager Alex Ferguson put out a reserve side with one eye on Wednesday's Champions League final against Barcelona, but they still proved too strong for the home side and Darren Gibson's superb first half long-range strike proved enough for the visitors.
Second-bottom Middlesbrough will join the Magpies and already-relegated West Brom in the Championship after their defeat at Upton Park.
The hosts went ahead after 33 minutes when Carlton Cole sidefooted past goalkeeper Brad Jones and although Gary O'Neill hit an equalizer shortly after the break, the Hammers won the match eight minutes later through Junior Stanislas.
Sunderland were the only other side in danger of getting relegated at the start of play and had other results to thank for their survival after they were beaten by Chelsea.
Nicolas Anelka claimed the season's Golden Boot award in style with a wonder-strike, his 19th of the season, two minutes into the second half.
Kieran Richardson took advantage of Petr Cech's fumble to level but Salomon Kalou gave the visitors the lead again in the 74th minute and Ashley Cole wrapped up the win in the final 10 minutes.
Kenwyne Jones scored a late consolation goal for Sunderland, who will now be looking for a new manager following Sbragia's announcement, although the Scotsman will remain on the coaching staff.
Everton finish the table in fifth place after a 2-0 victory at Fulham, who have qualified for the Europa League in seventh place despite the defeat.

Dancing shoes. Tour concept dancing shoes that Phil used that are coming straight to retail. Those and Rogue insider trading tips.
Sounds like a studded lineup!
I'd like to see the new fwys and hybrids be adjustable with jail break tech.
I'm surprised the MD4 only lasted 1 year.
Epic X with Flash Speed sounds pretty spicy!
I just want the CF16 replacement and I'll be a happy camper.
What's the stock going to be at after the earnings report in Sept?
I've held the protos of the new fwys and they were bonded. I didn't get much intel on them except you could see they had jailbreak and there is both a standard and SZ version. The sole was a lot closer to the Rogue than I would have thought, but more flat like the Epic. It also has a different head shape at address than either the Epic or Rogue.
As far as wedges, I have heard the MD Forged is going away and the new version is going to be a mix of the MD 4 and Forged. Head/toe shape of the MD 4 with he straighter leading edge of the Forged. New PM wedge is coming too, but I haven't seen it yet.
Iron wise, the protos that Xander has been testing are going to be a new line, however from what I have been told, they don't know exactly what they are going to replace, either the Apex or they may even be the new Legacy model.
And as always, new chrome softs coming.
Callaway really needs to change it up with the irons. Apex irons have got worse in my opinion. Rebrand them and start fresh.
Whatever the name it'd really like to see Xander's irons released. Those look special.
If there is an XR 19 Line coming out I hope they bring back those super compact pro version hybrids.
Some excellent marketing to make us want to splash the cash!
Xander's irons look phenomenal and proper prototype. I wonder why he's the 1st one to play them though, not the other elder statesmen.
Whatever the name it'd really like to see Xander's irons released. Those look special.
Please leave the ball alone.
The current Chromesoft X is one of my favorite balls I've played. Personally though this business model is why Pro V1 is still king in sales. Titleist hasn't changed the name of their ball ever and keeps tweaking it here and there. Everyone knows they can get a ball they're use to time and time again with Titleist knowing that it won't be vastly different. Callaway and Taylormade recycle names over and over hoping one sticks. The Chrome Soft name has or had some traction. Why not just make it simple and call the new ball the Chromesoft 19 or whatever. They can tweak it here and there and continue with forward momentum. I don't get it.
Guys, calm down, they aren't changing Chrome Soft but there is a new ball coming. Look at their current line up compared to Titleist and Taylormade, what models are Callaway currently not directly competing against from a price point and player profile perspective?
I don't mind the fairways/hybrids not being adjustable as long as they're not ungodly upright!
Updated Apex 16* Hybrid would be great!!!!
Change the Paint on the Chromesoft.
It looks like a cheap or mid tier ball with that glossy painted cover.
Cally needs adjustable fwys/hybrids in this lineup too.
I just hope there is a bonded Driver hidden in there somewhere.
Don't care what it's called, just stop making me go to Callaway Japan!
You're in the minority. The 2018 Chrome Soft (and X) was head and shoulders better than any previous iteration.
I played Pro V1 for years and years. Sometimes I found a ball that I actually liked better but never really switched because I didn't want that ball to end up being discontinued. I loved the Chromesoft X 18 that it was the first time I really got away from Pro V1's. Sure, I don't mind if it's little tweaks here and there but don't reinvent the wheel on | [

We are shaping the future of healthcare innovation to create solutions and improve health outcomes for people around the world.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison recently announced a $30 million Federal Government funding commitment to the Aikenhead Centre for Medical Discovery (ACMD).
The BridgeTech program specialises in the commercialisation of medical technology including medical devices and diagnostics.
Professor Denison's presentation examines the idea of expanding bioelectronics to neurological disorders.
Graeme Clark Institute HealthTech Innovation Challenge reaches a significant milestone.
MDPP is an ideas incubator that supports inventors to turn their medical or assistive device ideas into proven concepts. We provide early stage development support to help de-risk, refine and develop ideas into commercially and technically viable prototypes. We do this by partnering clients with a community of experts including end-users and clinicians, manufacturers, service providers and world-class research partners and specialist facilities. We welcome enquires from inventors and companies at any stage, but specialise in early stage technical product development support.
Forecasting someone's seizure likelihood can allow people to take evasive action, or therapeutic interventions could be applied to reduce the risk of having a seizure at all.
Researchers have demonstrated the feasibility of a tiny device that could one day offer an alternative to open brain surgery.
The ARC Training Centre for Personalised Therapeutics Technologies was launched on 20 November 2018 by Professor Sue Thomas, CEO, Australian Research Council.
Five teams have made it to the 2018 National MedTech's Got Talent National Finals after pitching their business concept to the judging panel of industry executives. Each team secured $10,000 non-dilutive, stage-gated funding to kickstart their MedTech startup towards product-market fit and investor readiness.
The Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital congratulates Professor Graeme Clark, AC who was recently announced as the joint winner of the prestigious Shambaugh Prize.
Network events are held throughout the year across Melbourne. Watch for upcoming talks, seminar or our newest initiative, 'opening the vault' where network sponsors open up their labs for viewing.
A new research training centre based in Victoria will develop artificial intelligence (AI) applications for medical technologies and train an expert workforce that will drive Australian innovation.
In The Know is an opportunity for existing and budding entrepreneurs, business founders, people running businesses, policymakers and the public at large who have an interest in learning from practitioners about the secrets of their success.
The 2018 Pitch Night resulted in four winning teams.
Imagine visiting your doctor through a computer.
No more sitting in the waiting room and you don't have to leave home. But how can a health specialist make an accurate diagnosis?
Alumni from the Faculty of Engineering last week won the grand final of the MedTEch's Got Talent, Australia's largest medical device accelerator program.
Technology is bringing amazing new advances in prosthetics: hands with fine motor control, arms and legs that allow Paralympians to set new records, brain implants that replicate the sensation of touch.
Applications are now open for our July intake. If you're a startup that is ready for seed investment, apply now for The Actuator Accelerator - Australia's National MedTech Accelerator!
As antibiotics become less and less effective, researchers are turning to new ways to defeat drug-resistant bacteria like Golden Staph.
Researchers at the Graeme Clarke institute have developed a microchip that can detect and potential prevent epileptic seizures. The system uses machine learning and artificial intelligence to forecast when a seizure is likely to occur. Professor Mark Cook says the concept device will provide an early warning sign, and could allow people with severe epilepsy to drive or work.
Winners of the inaugural HealthTech Innovation Challenge are announced. The Challenge was a joint event offered by the Graeme Clark Institute and the Melbourne Advanced Cente for Health (MACH).
The Graeme Clark Institute will enhance innovation in biomedical engineering research through our partnership with the Aikenhead Centre for Medical Discovery (ACMD).

Pennsylvania pushes contact tracing, wants more residents to participate
WGAL News 8 coronavirus coverage
Matt Barcaro
RAISE AWARENESS. MATT: CONTACT TRACING IS WHEN YOU IDENTIFY SOMEONE WHO TESTED POSITIVE FOR THE CORONAVIRUS AND ASK THEM WHO'VE THEY HAD CLOSE CONTACT WITH AND REACH OUT TO THEM TO LET THEM KNOW THEY MAY HAVE BEEN EXPOSED. GETTING THOSE CALLS STARTED HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE IN PENNSYLVANIA. TODAY, THE STATE HEALTH DEPARTMENT IS SET TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON HOW CONTACT TRACING HAS BEEN GOING IN THE STATE. IT HAS AN APP CALLED COVID ALERT PA THAT, USING BLUETOOTH TECHNOLOGY, CAN NOTIFY PEOPLE IF THEY CAME IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH SOMEONE WHO TESTED POSITIVE. BUT IT'S ONLY EFFECTIVE IF PEOPLE DOWNLOAD IT AND USE IT. THE STATE SAYS, OF THOSE USING THE APP, 650 PEOPLE WHO'VE TESTED POSITIVE WERE ON IT. AND THROUGH THE APP, 324 PEOPLE WERE NOTIFIED THAT THEY WERE IN CLOSE CONTACT WITH THEM. ALONG WITH THE APP, STATE CONTACT TRACERS ARE CALLNG PEOPLE WHO'VE TESTED POSITIVE TO GATHER THEIR CLOSE CONTACTS BUT THEY DON'T ALWAYS GET THROUGH. >> OUR COOPERATION CONTINUES TO BE A CHALLENGE. IN TERMS OF PEOPLE ANSWERING THE PHONE AND IN TERMS OF PEOPLE GIVING US THE DEPTH OF INFORMATION WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO GET THAT DATA AND SEE TRENDS. MATT: DURING THE WEEK OF CHRISTMAS WHICH IS THE MOST RECENT WEEK WE HAVE DATA FOR THE STATE SAYS ONLY 14% OF THOSE WHO TESTED POSITIVE GAVE CONTACT TRACERS ENOUGH INFORMATION TO START AN INVESTI
Pennsylvania officials are trying to get more people to participate in contact tracing as the state continues to grapple with the coronavirus pandemic.What is contact tracing?Contact tracing has been one of the key tools health experts use to help stop the spread of COVID-19. It works by identifying people who have been around someone who tested positive. Then, those people can get tested and quarantine if needed.Pennsylvania's COVID-19 appToday, the Pennsylvania Department of Health is set to give an update on how contact tracing has been going in the state. The state's app, COVID Alert Pa., uses Bluetooth technology and can notify people if they came in contact with someone who tested positive. But it only works if people download it and use it.The state says, of those using the app, 650 who have tested positive were on it. And through the app, 324 people were notified that they were in close contact with them. Along with the app, state contact tracers who call close contacts of positive cases are also working. But they are struggling to keep up."One reason why it's really challenging is the numbers that we've had. When you have seven, eight, 10,000 new cases a day, you aren't going to be able to reach all those people. So, what we have to do is prioritize. And we prioritize outbreaks and congregant settings like nursing homes, other longterm care facilities, schools, etc…" said Pennsylvania Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine.The state says more than 1,600 contact tracers are working with local and county health organizations to make calls to those who've tested positive and their contacts.If you'd like to download the state's COVID-19 app, you can learn more here.

And far away, sensing the danger to his friends, Eric peels a banana.
Ashford is already making his own moves when Carter snatches him from the evil grasp of the orchids that fell out when the door was opened.
THE GREENHOUSE is overgrown, and untended for some time. We leave it safely alone for now.
THE TOOLSHED contains ... tools! Broken glass and pottery. A generator and gasoline to fuel it.
Green eyes stare threateningly from THE BARN loft, hissing. Cat. And hay. Attached on the outside of the barn is a chicken coop, the wire torn outward. Empty, but feathers caught in the wire and scattered about are maybe a week old.
- 2 levels, 3 bedrooms, 1 occupant: male.
- Kitchen: jar of chutney smashed on floor.
- Fridge: manky, having been off for about a week.
- Lounge: the paper is from about 10 days ago.
- Master bedroom: lived in by one (apparently normal) guy.
- Main power: switched off.
- Just grass, no crop. A scarecrow in the distance.
- Small red flowers dotted about, growing from animal carcasses.
- Animal carcasses so dense they crunch with every step.
- Hypothesis: Something killed the animals; the flowers are taking advantage.
- Really Disturbing Hypothesis: The flowers kill animals so they can grow in the dead bodies.
Margolis walks through to the back of the wonderfully atmospheric greenhouse. A ripple runs through the leaves; a fern leaf falls down on her. The side room at the back has benches and stuff around the sides, and is very overgrown. The plants have hybridised and self-grafted into a single structure. She takes soil samples from inside and out.
Margolis plucks a dozen flowers for analysis. A dog skeleton bites her hand. She prizes it off and bags it for analysis too. Something claws at her ankle.
As we're walking out on the long driveway, a horse comes galloping toward us. A horse with bits dropping off it. A dead horse. Only Margolis doesn't run away from it immediately, a nearly fatal mistake. Day and Carter open fire while Traxler discovers the farmhouse door's still open. But the animated creature catches Margolis before they can drop it, trampling her but causing only a broken ulna and fractured thigh.
Day drives her to hospital - a four hour trip back to SanFran - taking our samples for analysis too. That includes a chunk of newly re-dead horse. Later, she recalls Day asking "Who are you?" over and over. She gets rabies and tetanus immunisations.
The rest of us hotel for the night.
Morning bulletin says some FBI dudes turned up and took custody of our evidence from Day. Since Margolis is out of it, we'd have no idea if these were 'us'-dudes, or 'them'-dudes.
Ashford, Traxler and Carter resume their investigation by daylight.
- Burnt strip across front and sides (maybe back) of farm, smelling faintly of gasoline.
- The fields are deeply red with a profusion of flowers. It stops abruptly at the fence.
- Take samples from the haystack. Who knows what it really is.
- The cat in the barn is scrawny and hungry - but hasn't left.
Another horse lurches upright in the field, [Someone remind me what we were doing at the time...] and we hastily adjourn for lunch. Clearly, some people's stomachs are unenriched by emotional life.
You call this a plan? Petrol, shotties, flares, two eskys, a trowel, a hatchet, a camera, a shopping list. And paranoia. Let's go.
Quick detour to K-Mart for a few suplies first.
A couple of locals in a ute stop in concern at the scene - Traxler not quite choking Ashford at the front fence before he hatchets an extra gateway. We get rid of them. Reckon they'll forget about the encounter with the psychos in suits?

SEC Open to Modern Communications by Advisers
Expect Focus Life, Annuity, and Retirement Solutions, March 2019
Financial Services Regulatory | Life, Annuity, and Retirement Solutions | Securities & Investment Companies | Securities Transactions and Compliance | April 4, 2019
Thomas C. Lauerman
The increasingly widespread use and acceptance of various types of online communications have made it more attractive — for both firms and clients — to conduct business online, while at the same time making it more doubtful that all advisory personnel can be relied upon to observe all firm prohibitions on such conduct. In response, the SEC's Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations (OCIE) published a December 14, 2018, "Risk Alert" that may well accelerate the trend for firms to permit their advisory personnel to use a broad range of electronic business communications.
The Risk Alert addresses, for example, text/SMS messaging, instant messaging, and personal or private messaging used by advisory personnel for business purposes. In general, the Risk Alert covers such "Electronic Messaging" regardless of whether systems or applications ("apps") of the firm or a third party are being used and regardless of who owns the computers or mobile devices being used. However, the Risk Alert does not cover emails using an advisory firm's systems, as OCIE believes that firms already have considerable experience in administering compliance arrangements for those transactions.
Although the Risk Alert by its terms applies only to investment advisers, many of the ideas expressed apply equally to Electronic Messaging by registered representatives of broker-dealer firms, including those who offer insurance products. See "FINRA Issues New Guidance on Social Media and Digital Communications," Expect Focus Life Insurance, Vol. II (June 2017).
The Risk Alert suggests a number of steps that firms may consider to promote regulatory compliance, including:
requiring advisory personnel who receive communications in a form prohibited by the firm to move those communications to an electronic system that the firm permits and providing "specific instructions" to such personnel on "how to do so";
conducting regular internet searches and "regularly reviewing popular social media sites to identify if employees are using the media in a way not permitted" by the firm; and
establishing confidential means by which advisory personnel "can report concerns about a colleague's electronic messaging, website, or use of social media for business communications."
Although the Risk Alert does not mandate these particular procedures, OCIE probably will be expecting firms to observe compliance procedures that are reasonably designed, in light of the firms' own circumstances, to ensure that advisory personnel are complying with any prohibitions the firm imposes on particular types of communications.
Just Say No?
To the extent that advisers, therefore, may be faced with administering increasingly cumbersome procedures in connection with prohibitions, just saying "no" can become a more costly and unattractive option.
The Risk Alert does, however, suggest that firms consider prohibiting:
any forms of Electronic Messaging that the firm has not determined can be used in compliance with the books and records requirements under the Investment Advisers Act; or
any "apps or other technologies that can be readily misused by allowing an employee to send messages or otherwise communicate anonymously, allowing for automatic destruction of messages, or prohibiting third-party viewing or back-up."
How to Say "Yes"
The Risk Alert also may encourage broader use of Electronic Messaging by suggesting a number of procedures that can help firms comply with regulatory requirements. In this connection, OCIE notes:
"[Some] advisers that permit use of social media, personal email, or personal websites for business purposes [contract] with software vendors to (1) monitor the social media posts, emails, or websites, (2) archive such business communications to ensure compliance with record retention rules, and (3) ensure that they have the capability to identify any changes to content and compare postings to a lexicon of key words and phrases."
Although adequate vendor-supplied services currently may not be available or practical in many circumstances, the number and capabilities of such vendors are expanding.
The Risk Alert also suggests other possible procedures for training and supervision of advisory personnel in their use | [

While my admiration of Grand Admiral Thrawn has always been a center-piece of my Star Wars love, I have never-the-less also gravitated to other high ranking officials within the Galactic Empire, finding their stories equally fascinating. As part of my ongoing "Imperial Profile" series I wanted to offer a small look at not just Thrawn but ALL of the Grand Admirals who have been in service to the Empire. What follows is just a small sampling of information about each Grand Admiral in the Star Wars Expanded Universe AND the Disney Canon, information which I have spliced together from a variety of sources for quick and easy access. If you have any questions or thoughts about these individuals, the rank of Grand Admiral, the sources I have used, or anything else, I hope you will leave a comment!!!
Introduced for the first time in Timothy Zahn's infamous novel Heir to the Empire, the rank of Grand Admiral was utilized over and over again by Expanded Universe authors, writers, and creators. While Grand Admiral Thrawn was the very first Grand Admiral introduced into Star Wars, he was chronologically the last individual to be promoted to the esteemed rank. According to The Essential Guide to Warfare (written by Jason Fry), Emperor Palpatine elevated twelve individuals to the new rank of Grand Admiral in 2 BBY during the New Year Fete Week. Promoted for various reasons – acumen as battlefield strategists, commitment to the New Order, role in research and development – the twelve Grand Admirals were adorned in white dress uniforms with signature gold epaulets (The Essential Guide to Warfare, pg. 168-169).
While twelve were initially promoted, a thirteenth- Mitth'raw'nuruodo (aka Thrawn) – would be named as Grand Admiral Zaarin's replacement following Zaarin's attempted coup.

1000 years of "Forum-history": A programme for OFP's future research
(in chronological order of the historic periods: 3rd/1st century BC – 7th century AD)
What we plan to do the next years is basically the subsequent work-up and interpretation:
– of all our excavation-/survey-data of the Forum from the campaigns 2010-2013,
– of our supplementing survey-data & digital records until 2014 and
– of our finds (coins, ceramics, small finds, all sorts of marbles, inscriptions and large finds).
We hope to be able to continue our successful cooperation with the Superintendency in the future with the aim to:
a.) work up all 2012/2014 material in the modern finds-deposits and the new marble-deposits
b.) conduct supplementing research on site at the Forum and its surroundings with non-invasive methods (see section "Aims and Methodology") as for example geophysics and archaeological surface-documentation with laserscanning, which we have practised successfully, also in 2014
c.) assist in working up a certain part (the undocumented Forum-pavements and marble-deposits) of the world's largest-scale excavations of Guido Calza until 1941, which are still not completely scientifically analysed.
A few superlatives and advantages characterize the project so far:
1.) most cooperation partners involved, most high-tech cooperations for fundamental research on the improved workflow of digital documentation-methods
2.) low-hierarchy concept and maximum student-participation/-responsibility
3.) long-perspective planning, due to institutional independence and autonomous support-structure
4.) maximum efficiency due to minimized administration-structures
5.) more than 20 years of working-experience in Ostia and in Rome's archaeological networks
6.) fastest online campaign-publication based on open-access-software, our and other webpages and selected social media (Facebook-Groups a. s. o.)
7.) flexible concept of including autonomous teams of changing international cooperation partners, adapted to every working campaign's changing needs.
To be able to continue our research in the centre of the world's largest excavation-site, all further cooperations with universities and institutions are most welcome!

can contain at least 7 major project-areas, based on our excavation-data, finds-material and research-interests.
Each of these areas is subdivided into several autonomous subprojects (compare chapter "Subprojects") and supplementing research-projects, also for BA-, Master- and PhD-thesis.
Project-area 1.) The complete reconstruction of the front pediment of the Roma and Augustus temple (and other public monuments)
All marble-piles and -fragments found in MFD/TDV in 2012/2014 are waiting to be fully documented. This systematic documentation started in 2014 – its continuation is planned in a cooperation with Kiel University, Germany (Kiel-University, see 2014 Chapter 2).
Approximately 40% of the finds of 2012 from TDV were already processed in 2014 (see pictures below). A major part of these fragments clearly came from the Roma and Augustus temple – mostly from the pediment, but also from architectural decoration elsewhere (for example the door or the inside decoration). The work-up of the remaining 60% from TDV and the material from three other marble-deposits in its 'backrooms' and immediate surroundings, all found in 2012 and documented by laserscan in 2014, need at least two more working-campaigns (2015/2016) to be completed. Every fragment has to be drawn by hand, measured and photographed, before we can pass it on to the 3-D-documentation-process (compare 2014 Chapter 1 and 2014 Chapter 2).
The complete virtual reconstruction based on our 3-D-data of the marble-finds from 2012/2014 (see pictures below, compare 2014 Chapter 3 and 2014 Chapter 4) is planned for 2015/16, as part of the scientific work-up of Calza's old Forum-excavations 1921-1923. A systematic documentation and virtual photografic- and 3-D-catalogue of all not previously recorded marble-fragments from the Forum could benefit our knowledge of the Forum's topography on one hand, and the working-conditions in the (already quite full) finds-deposits on the other hand.
With these fragments, it will be possible to reconstruct the original architectural and sculptural decoration of the Forum's plaza and the surrounding public buildings of the Forum, primarily for scientific purposes, and secondly as a digital vizualisation for broader access (which could be web-based, also for smartphones used on site).
Furthermore, a possible side-effect could benefit local tourism in Ostia by preparing a public presentation on site, or an international exhibition on recent research in Ostia, maybe partly based on small-scale reconstruction-models made with 3-D-printing-technology.
Project-area 2.) From single-finds to urbanism – The concept and building-history of the Augustan Forum: Continuity, changes and 'interactions' with its Republican predecessors
The digital data of a first geophysical-survey in 2011 in cooperation with Eastern Atlas (see picture below) should be verified by a planned geophysical survey in 2015 in cooperation with the Catholic University of Hungary. Both surveys have one of the main objectives to reconstruct Ostia's first Forum concepts based on all previous excavation-trenches (which were unearthed by former excavators, but recleaned and firstly documented by OFP, see pictures below).
Project-area 3.) Ostia re-founded in 51 AD? An advanced Claudian/Flavian Forum-concept with two shopping-halls und a new sacred centre
All previous excavation-data should be used to reconstruct the original planning-concepts of diverse predecessors of the partly Hadrianic/Antonine and partly late antique shape of the Forum, which is visible today. A main factor of the research is based on exact measuring, supported by the virtual 3-D-Forum-model, which will be completed by external cooperation-partners as for example the German Aerospace Centre. In 2012, we found very characteristic axis-symmetries of buildings | [

, which once belonged to the same building-phases. They partly corresponded to the 'ideological' centre of Rome's first colony, the so-called mundus, which we studied in detail by building-analysis and further geophysics (compare pictures below). Analogies between several axis-symmetries have to be analysed in the whole city-centre, based on our previous and actual surveys.
Additional fine-measuring with tolerances under 1 cm can in future campaigns supplement our digital archive of 3-D-data with the aim of a complete reconstruction of the Forum's complexe building-history and building-sequences by analysing all planning-axis-deviations and -symmetries.
This project can be subdivided into several subprojects, on one hand for technical PhD-thesis, on the other hand for archaeological PhD-thesis.
Project-area 4.) The Forum's building-history from the Trajanic level to the latest Forum-repairs in the 5th/6th century AD
Subproject 4a.) The Forum as a three-dimensional space-model: Looking for practical ways of visualizing diachronically by sections
This subproject will be completed with the digital material provided in cooperation with the German Aerospace Centre / Zentrum für Deutsche Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR), Bernhard Strackenbrock & Birgit Tsuchyia.
Subproject 4b.) All excavation-data combined in one "2,5-D"web-GIS (Geografical Information System)
This subproject is planned in cooperation with DLR and H. P. Thamm (Geo-sciences, Freie Universität Berlin).
Subproject 4c.) Monuments, statues and inscriptions for the Imperial Cult: Reconstructing the original "furniture" of the Forum (1st-4th century AD)
This subproject is planned in cooperation with Astrid Fendt and Lena Kaumanns (Epigraphy, Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften BBAW).
Subproject 4d.) The (altered?) public functions of the late antique Forum – conversions and temporary installations for markets, festivals and spectacles (4th-6th century AD)
This subproject is based on new research (PhD-thesis) on wooden seating facilites, which were temporarily installed in front – or inside – the Forum's porticoes, when important spectacles, games or festivals of the city-culture were held. The Forum, until the 5th century surely the most important public space, was an ideal finish for processions. Processions along the Decumanus are well documented, also in Late Antiquity. The arrival (adventus) of Roman city-magistrates in Ostia happened frequently – they could have had political or religious reasons. Even pagan processions were recorded until the 6th century AD in Ostia. The theatre was fully restored in the 5th century for aquatic shows: Additional or similar theatre-games or -events might be assumed in the Forum too, Ostia's biggest open air-plaza.
The main aim of this subproject is to document and measure all postholes and similar traces of ancient use systematically. Did regular 'modules' for wooden-constructions exist here in Ostia too, as we know them from for example in Fregene, Paestum or other cities in middle and south Italy? Based on more than 26 postholes in the marble slabs and/or their mortar-bedding discovered in MFP alone, it should be possible to reconstruct the dimensions and the construction-technique of wooden seats, tables or market-stalls inserted temporarily into our portico-pavements of the whole Forum (see pictures below).
Subproject 4e.) The reuse, re-erecting and collecting of statues in Late Antiquitiy – continuity and changes in the "statue-habit" (4th-6th century AD)
The Forum's late pavements show imprints of quite irregularly shaped spolia-bases (see pictures below). They were renovated or newly built inside the porticoes of the late 4th or 5th century AD to protect statues, which obviously had been transfered from somewhere else before. Here we have a clear evidence of one of the latest collective 'revivals' of pagan statues in Antiquity. The statues were obviously covered in situ in the collapsed porticoes (later 5th or 6th century | [

AD?) and mostly found in the early 19th century. They can be traced in several museums worldwide. The question is, whether pagan statues were "saved" randomly as simple decoration or whether there still was a certain "programme" regarding their collocation in the 5th century AD. The variety and completeness of the preserved statues are surprising: This seems to confirm the concept of the "dei consentes", a concept with the aim to present (even in an advanced 'Christianized' atmosphere) a 'didactically' representative selection of the mythological past of the Graeco-Roman city-culture.
The finds-catalogues of 1801-1805 were published in 1912, but the information is not sufficient. The main aim of this subproject is therefore to conduct archival studies on supplementing catalogues and finds-books in the Vatican and other museums in the attempt to collect all statues from the first Forum-excavations. Additionally, the spolia-bases and -imprints found in 2010-12 have to be reconstructed fully in comparison to similar late antique statue collocations as for example at Sagalassos. Furthermore, new material (statues and bases) was found in the late 19th century-excavations and until 1924. This applies mostly to material, which is stored in the deposits at Ostia. The archives, deposits and OFP's new finds provide enough material for several PhD-projects regarding statue contexts, partly in possible cooperation with the Freie Universität Berlin.
Subproject 4f.) The last marble-pavement of the Forum: Fine-dating of the latest repairs and re-levelling of the porticoes in the 5th-6th century AD
This subproject is planned for 2015 in cooperation with Silvia Polla (Archaeology & Archaeometry, Freie Universität Berlin). In Berlin's laboratories, microscopic samples of the amphorae can be used for a content analysis in the attempt to answer the main question of their former use (basically: wine or oil). Based on a large quantity of material, this can be a very important source to reconstruct trade and the late antique economy of the whole Mediterranean. A side-effect of Polla's study for the OFP is that our ceramic-material will not only be dated and classified, but we will also get all possible archaeometric laboratory-data regarding the ceramic's chemistry and provenance – for free. What we offer to Polla's much more representative study in exchange is an exceptionally "sealed" context of ceramics found underneath the last pavements of Ostia's Forum in 2011. This context is equally important for Polla's study (Ostia's market is representative for Rome) and for us (MFW trench 2 is one of the most important sources for dating our mortar-stratigraphy of the latest pavements). Therefore, back in 2011 we used the maximum care to document the micro-stratigraphy of this context (including all single finds-positions in a 3-D-model). Contexting was done manually by us and digitally by Undine Lieberwirth's subproject to OFP and Bernhard Fritsch (both Excellence-cluster TOPOI Berlin: see pictures below). For Polla's subsequent analysis in 2015 and 2016, the involved laboratories will use tested methods of gaschromatography and mass-spectrometry. Her study is already based on a wide framework of archaeological sites, mainly in North Africa, where also the main part of our ceramics (which was found in late Forum's contexts) comes from.
Project area 5.) The organisation of recycling, spolia production and spolia trade: workshops, "claims" and the selective dismantling of monuments (3rd-6th century AD)
Subproject 5a.) Late antique marble reuse in the context of OFP's new deposit finds around the Forum: How was reworking for the spolia trade organized?
Capitals (see pictures above), which had been converted into wells or fountains, were quite often found in late antique cities. Similar pieces were found at MFD/TDV in 1923.

like thresholds from TDV and CAW or 'random finds' from the older excavations (see pictures below), had been reused from architectural elements (see pictures below).
Dating evidence for similar recycling processes is provided by a terminus post quem (TPQ) for the recycling of the collapsed Roma and Augustustemple (see pictures below). Recycling from architectural elements to more basic functions seems to have been practized on large scale – maybe mainly for some decades between 450 AD and our latest stratigraphy from 500-550 AD. What were the reasons to give it up? Why did so many fragments survive half finished? When exactly and how was Ostia's Forum deserted? And why did 'drawings' from architectural elements survive (see picture further below)?
The aim of the subproject would be to conduct comparative spolia research of all marble accumulations around the Forum. The finds contexts of reworked material range from late antique, medieval to modern times and from workshop deposits to lime kilns to excavator's stone collections. First step will be the analysis of excavation history to be able to date the marble deposits. Next step is the local building analysis of all individual marble deposits as a case study. Third step is, based on the undisturbed marble deposits, the reconstruction of the material's original provenance. With the material from the 2012/14 marble piles of TDV, we start with the working hypothesis that several late antique workshops around the Forum obviously could have "bought" regularly divided "claims" in order to get the material for their production. This is verified by a few case studies, but has to be analyzed on the full representative quantity of material available. The complete working up of marble deposits and their "claims" will provide most important evidence for spolia "business" from the 4th to the 7th century AD, a subject of a widespread recent reserach interest. It will provide furthermore insights into the undocumented excavation history until the late 19th century and last, but not least: "claims" may demonstrate a previously unknown evidence for strong communal controle, still in the late 5th and 6th centuries AD.
Subproject 5b.) Flooding catastrophy or fire collapse? The evidence of coin hoards in late antique charcoal- and chalk-layers
The aim of this subproject would be the dating of the last building- and destruction-phases by the complete work up of all coins hitherto found by OFP in the latest preserved contexts underneath or above spolia pavements in MFP, MFR, MFW and MFD/TDV (approximately 200 datable coins, mostly nummi). Based on a high quantity of material evidence – in comparison with other excavation areas – it will be possible to write the destruction history of Ostias city centre more precisely. The main question would be how to define Ostia's city-center in comparison to the areas outside, for example along the coastline. Was the center left to destruction earlier than the last luxury-seaside villas? Or can we verify the opposite hypothesis regarding the latest main restoration-phase in the center versus processes of abandonment in the suburbs?
Subproject 5c.): Fine dating of spolia buildings by coin evidence: Was public infrastructure of the "consumer city" maintained after the middle of the 5th century AD?
Our evidence from several building analysis until 2014 regarding porticoes, late antique fountains, toilets and "fountain houses" or other social 'meeting points' (Schmölder-Veith 2010, see Project Related Bibliography) in the context of the Forum should be center of several comparative case studies (PhD projects).
The latest newly built porticoes in Ostia are documented by finds only – in Portus at least one building inscription has survived, which documents building activities and the decoration of a "porticus of Placidia" in the middle of the 5th century AD (see picture below).
One specific building in direct context of the entrance repair (third phase, after the middle of the 5th century AD) of the so-called Terme Bizantine (TBZ, see picture below) was cleaned in 2012 but not yet documented: 3-D-documentation of the remains and the interpretation of the 2012 finds | [

Subproject 5d.) "Crisis-management": Reuse of material from suburban pagan cemeteries inside the city for repair and public decoration
In the marble piles of the southern half of the Forum, which were archeologically cleaned in 2012 and analyzed in detail in 2014, we have found a surprising amount of material from pagan cemeteries. These cemeteries had been usually situated outside the city-walls, so the questions remains: Why did we find this material connected with specific builing-rubble from the south Forum's area? A first interpretation of the reuse of these marbles, mostly sarcophags and "loculus-" inscriptions as late antique building-material, can be based on the systematic spolia-survey regarding the reuse of marbles from cemeteries inside the late-antique city (see bibliography: Axel Gering's Habilitation thesis). Further discussions of statues beeing reused inside the city were based on the fundamental research of C. Murer regarding the late decoration of private houses and baths (this detailled study of C. Murer will be published soon). A closer interpretation of all material found by OFP until 2014 (sarcophags, statue fragments and decoration elements from cemeteries) is planned in cooperation with the University of Kiel (see above). Another aspect would be the study and interpretation of the previous finds until 1924 regarding material and sculptures from pagan cemeteries.
The characteristic "mixture" of marble elements in TDV (see above) shows clearly that this material was not brought from the cemeteries inside the city to be burned to chalk here. Much more likely it had come from the secondary context of its reuse, that means: from the Forum itself. Especially the significance of late statue re-erection after catastrophic events (the earthquake of 442/ 443 AD) in the Forum will be analyzed to gain a new understanding, if former 'funeral' sculpture in mythological contexts (compare Wrede 1981, see Project Related Bibliography) could have replaced the original imperial public statues (which maybe were partly demolished or robbed) in a framework of an ongoing demand for public aesthetic (ornamentum urbis) in the 5th century AD.
Project area 6.) The end of an ancient city culture: archaeological and social patterns of the abandoning processes at the Forum of Ostia and the reasons for "des-urbanization" (6th-8th century AD)
In 2011 and 2012 we have found and recorded many organic finds and bones too (which are stored in plastic bags in the deposit at Ostia). A cooperation with laboratories specialized in analizing organic material, animal bones & the DNA analysis of human bones is planned for the next years before the material looses its information. Wood and plants were preserved extremely well in certain mortar-layers. These mortar-layers belong to the last building-activities of the city. Because of their importance for interpretation a few microscopic wood-samples were already taken to Berlin in 2012 to be analyzed in TOPOI-laboratories under the initiative of Undine Lieberwirth (compare picture below). The extended research-project would include all our 2011-2012-finds aiming to get a broader understanding of the organic finds from previously undated mortar-stratigraphy and embedded objects. The analysis focusses on the last preserved surface-layers of street- and plaza-pavements which are every year massively reduced by erosion and mass-tourism. The research should include all signs of a possible latest market reuse (animal-bones) or even "inofficial" intra-urban burial contexts in these latest street- or plaza-levels too. By dating these activities more precisely even the "end" of Ostias "classical" urbanziation-patterns in the "dark" early-middle ages, the largely unknown 6th and 7th cenutries, could become historical fact beyond speculation.

The Conference will be held at Yanshan Univeristy.
For international participants, the best entry point to China is Beijing, although you can choose to enter China via Shanghai.
If you choose Shanghai, there are two flights from Shanghai Pudong International Airport to Qinhuangdao City. One departs at 8:45am and the other departs at 10:30am. Once you arrive at the Shanhaiguan Airport, you can take a taxi to the conference hotel.
While there are a number of options to get to Qinhuangdao City from Beijing International Airport, the best way recommended is to take a shuttle bus. There are shuttle buses from Beijing International Airport to Qinhuangdao City EVERY ONE HOUR from 9:00 to 21:00. The shuttle departs at Gate #3 on the first floor of T3 Terminal and Gate #15 on the first floor of T2 Terminal. Travel time is roughly 3.5 hours (depending on traffic), and tickets can be purchased on-site at the bus station at the airport for \130 (about Canadian/US $20.00).
We will arrange volunteers to help you to get to the conference hotel when you arrive at Qinhuangdao City. Depending on the flight concentrativity of international participants, we might have a volunteer to help you at Beijing International Airport on October 14th, if necessary.
There are shuttle buses from Qinghuangdao City to Beijing International Airport EVERY ONE HOUR from 5:00 to 17:00. If your flight is on the same day, please budget sufficient time for commuting to Beijing as the ground transformation might be much longer than estimated.
The address of the bus station at Qinhuangdao City is: No. 405, Beihuan Road, Haigang District.
If you decide to stay one night in Beijing, you may consider taking the 'Dong' train from Beidaihe Station to Beijing, for which the train number starts with letter 'D' to Beijing. The price is about \100 (USD 15) and the ride itself is about two hours, not taking into account the time entering/exiting train stations. Those trains with the number starting other than 'D' (such as 'T', 'K' or a digit) are much slower ( the ride itself may be 4-6 hours).
Estimated Hotel Rate: USD130-140/night including tax.
To reserve a room, please fill out the hotel reservation form and email the completed reservation form to Prof. Changchun Hua before September 15 for guaranteed availability.
The registration fees are as follows and must be paid in US dollars.
Do not jeopardize the publication of your work in the proceedings! An accepted paper will be published in the proceedings only if the full-fee registration payment for one of the authors is received and correctly processed by September 10, 2011 - no exceptions. Only member or non-member fees are allowed to cover the publication of an accepted paper. Student registration fees cannot be used to guarantee the publication of an accepted paper. If the author registering to cover the paper publication is a student, he has to pay the appropriate member or non-member fee. Members to whom the society bylaws grant special discounts (e.g., Life members of the IEEE) cannot use the discounted rates to cover the publication of an accepted paper: they have to pay the member fee. One author registration will cover the publication expenses of only one accepted paper. For each additional accepted paper associated to the same registration, a 50 US$ printing contribution will be charged. In the case no registration has been received and correctly processed to cover the paper publication, the conference organizers will contact the authors before the paper is removed from the proceedings.
To qualify for member rates, the membership number must be provided in the registration form. No exception.
We would like to remind you that the other organizers have absolutely no information about your registration. Therefore, we warmly recommend that you do not waste your time in contacting them.

E 2011) will be published in the IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement (TIM). Accepted Symposium papers that are registered and presented at HAVE 2011 (included poster papers) are eligible to submit, by November 29 2011, an extended version to the special issue. These manuscripts must be technically extended beyond the scope of the paper that appears in HAVE 2011. Please follow very carefully the guidelines given below. In addition, more information on special issues in general can also be found on TIM's website here.
The paper must be technically extended beyond the scope of the paper that appears in HAVE 2011.
The paper must be submitted in PDF and online to TIM http://tim.allentrack.net no later than November 29, 2011. Please note that, because this date is controlled by TIM itself and not by the guest editors, it is the absolute final deadline and no extensions will be given. Late papers will not be able to be uploaded and hence will not be considered. Please do not submit papers by email to the guest editors: they will not be accepted.
At the time of submission, the authors must also provide detailed information in a separate PDF file explaining how the special issue paper is a technically-extended version of the proceedings paper.
The HAVE 2011 paper MUST be clearly referred to in the text and listed as one of the references in the special-issue paper.
When uploading your manuscript click on "Special Issue Manuscript" in the "Manuscript Upload Instructions" page of the Allentrack System. Then, in page #1 of "Submit Manuscript" you must choose "HAVE2011". Subsequently, in the same page and in the "Files to Upload" section you MUST upload two files; one containing a detailed explanation of how the paper is TECHNICALLY extended beyond the scope of the proceedings paper and another which is a PDF copy of the HAVE 2011 paper. To this end, you must put the number "2" in the small box in front of "Extension Beyond Proceedings & Copy of Proceedings (if any was published)" so that the system allows you to upload these two files. Consequently, these two files will be available to the reviewers. Failure to submit a detailed explanation of the TECHNICAL extension and a PDF copy of the Proceedings paper will result in the immediate return of the manuscript to the author(s) as an unacceptable submission. Please note that for the extended version, you are essentially writing a journal paper or IEEE Transaction on Instrumentation and Measurement (TIM). Please follow TIM's format on their website in terms of paper size, margins, fonts, maximum number of pages, etc. It is also very important that the presentation of the paper, in terms of title, abstract, and introduction, makes it clearly related to instrumentation and measurement. For Haptics this should be straight forward as Haptics are instruments, but for papers focusing on audio/visual aspects only, it might be more challenging and require more work. It is also highly recommended that your paper include at least 3-4 references from past TIM papers.
Please note that the submitted papers will be reviewed to ensure that relevance and quality requirements for TIM are met. After this review, up to 10 of the accepted papers will be published in the special issue, and the rest of the accepted papers will be published directly in TIM as regular papers.
Submission site closes : November 29, 2011 Note: because this date is controlled by TIM itself and not by the guest editors, it is the absolute final deadline and no extensions will be given. Late papers will not be able to be uploaded and hence will not be considered. Please do not submit papers by email to the guest editors: they will not be accepted.
Prospective authors should submit an extended abstract of 4 to 6 pages in length, including figures, tables and references. Shorter submissions may be automatically rejected. The extended abstract should summarize the scope of the paper and the primary results and findings, emphasizing new advances, theories and/or applications so that the program committee will be able to understand the originality and the value of the work.
Accepted Papers will be included in the IEEE Xplore digital library and indexed by EI/Compendex.

We're just going to come straight out and say it – Iceland is stunning all year-round and really, there is no bad time to go. While this might not be the firm piece of advice that you were hoping for, let's take a closer look at Iceland in summer Vs winter to help you decide when to go. By the end of this article, you should have a firm decision in mind of when you should visit Iceland.
Despite its location and frosty name, Iceland is much warmer than one might expect – thanks to the Gulf Stream which helps to regulate the climate throughout the year. What you really need to keep an eye out for is the wind – as this is Iceland's most influencing (and testing) weather element. As for temperature in winter, the southern parts of Iceland average around 0 °C (32°F).
March to May exist as the perfect time for savvy travellers to score a deal before the peak season hits. Plus, it's slowly getting warmer across the spring months compared to winter.
Summer in Iceland welcomes visitors with the appeal of the magnificent Midnight Sun, however, this is also the height of the peak visitor season. The temperature in July in the southern part of Iceland is 10–13 °C (50–55 °F).
September and October offer cooler temperatures and also marks when the northern lights will start to appear in the sky.
Visit the Golden Circle including Þingvellir (Thingvellir) National Park and Gullfoss waterfall.
You can dive into the Blue Lagoon and hot thermal baths year-round.
Horse riding and glacier hiking are available throughout the year.
You would hate to rock up to Iceland and realize you have missed the peak season for wildlife spotting! If you're a self-proclaimed David-Attenborough enthusiast, the best time for you to go whale or dolphin watching is between April and September. You can expect to see Minke, Humpback, Orca and Blue Whales. While you could possibly see whales or dolphins year-round, the chances are much higher in summer due to the feeding habits and migration cycle.
If there's a word that best describes the Icelandic weather experience – it would be unpredictable. That being said, in the summer months, you will find the weather to be less extreme, meaning you can camp without fear of aggressive winds or snow appearing out of the blue. Keep in mind that you will still need to prepare for four seasons in a day when in Iceland, however, you can travel with greater peace of mind.
A natural phenomenon that must be seen to be believed is the spectacle of the Midnight Sun. For anyone visiting Iceland during the summer months will benefit from extended hours of sunlight to explore and see what Iceland has to offer – without the need to rush home before it gets dark.
Bird lovers can fulfil their wildest dreams in Iceland over summer. Hundreds of bird species have been spotted in Iceland, such as the marvellous Atlantic Puffin and the Gadwall, for example. When in Iceland, you'll see many stuffed-animal puffin toys yet nothing beats seeing the real deal up close.
Located in the heart of Iceland, the only time you will be able to reach the far-flung centre will be during the warmer months. During the colder months of September to May, the Highland roads are blocked off with no access to visitors.
Iceland is an underrated festival destination In summer, this tiny country plays host to large festivals including the notable Secret Solstice. While you're there, save the date for the Reykjavík Jazz Festival, Gay Pride Festival and the annual Viking Festival.
Strictly a winter-only experience, it is only possible to visit the ice caves when the temperature drops. In summer, the caves are often underwater, closed or simply too dangerous to visit. Try to book your tour in advance, as this adventure activity is often booked out well in advance. Take a look at the Crystal Cave and the Blue Diamond Cave both at the Vatnajökull Glacier.
There is nothing better than wrapping your hands around a steaming mug of mulled wine during the festive season. In Reykjavík, the town will be transformed into a winter wonderland complete with skating rinks, Christmas markets and artisanal | [

Netflix's New Headquarters Powered by Envelope Solar Panels
Netflix will move its headquarters into a solar-powered facility this coming spring.
2020 is already proving to be a big year for #solar #energy. In the past decade, we have seen solar panels on rooftops, carports, windows, and organized en masse as solar farms around the world. Now, solar panels are being incorporated into the very structure of newer commercial buildings.
These building-wrapping solar panels are referred to as '#envelope solar panels.' One particular building in Los Angeles, appropriately named EPIC, is the first of its kind in the area to implement these innovative solar panels.
The EPIC building is comprised of 13 stories and by late spring, will house one of the world's most popular streaming services – Netflix. This otherworldly office building will also include other advanced technologies, including electric car charging stations and mailroom drones.
Building Integrated Photovoltaics
The scientific term for EPIC's envelope solar panels is 'building integrated photovoltaics,' or BIPV for short. Rooftop solar panels, solar shingles, and solar skylights are all included in this technology, along with envelope solar panels, which can replace or cover traditional glass windows.
Envelope solar panels are semi-transparent and hardly noticeable when placed over windows. They can even be retrofitted to cover a building's exterior.
EPIC was designed by Gensler, in conjunction with developers at Hudson Pacific Properties. The envelope solar panels face the south and east sides of the building, where the most sun exposure can be found. Crystalline solar panels comprise the envelope solar panels. They are hung vertically, connected together by electrical conduits and wires that carry gathered electricity to rooms throughout the building.
What Makes EPIC Different
Chris Barton, Executive Vice President of Development for Hudson Pacific Properties, has stated that the initial goals of EPIC were to make it "superior to other buildings in the market – and to make it one of the more energy efficient properties in the market."
In line with these goals, EPIC has also been outfitted with special lighting controls and an energy efficient plumbing system in addition to the envelope solar panels. Barton encourages business owners to consider envelope solar panels, despite the initial costs for installation and upkeep. In his perspective, financial incentives should not be the main focus of this kind of pursuit. Business owners need to see it as, "being forward-thinking, environmentally conscious, and mindful about how they're building."
Using Architectural Design to Increase Solar Access
Architects and interior designers have been putting their skills to the test by finding ways to integrate solar power into everyday objects. Solar blinds, solar-powered desks, and even solar roadways have been marketed in the last few years. As the solar and renewable energy fields have expanded, so have architectural innovations.
Instead of solar power being an afterthought, it can now be incorporated right into building design from the start. However, the biggest obstacle to implementing solar-based architecture is the initial cost. Until more homeowners and commercial building owners embrace solar power, prices will continue to remain high.
Now that big names like Netflix are fully committing to envelope solar panels and other renewable energies, there is a good chance that other businesses will follow suit and pursue similar actions.
Renewable Energy: What to Expect in 2020
Based on the latest statistics released by the Solar Energy Industries Association, enough solar power has been installed across the United States to power 13.5 million homes.
Nearly every quarter in 2019 showed substantial growth in solar integration and market production. Quarter 3 of 2019 was particularly remarkable, with solar energy accounting for nearly 40% of all new electricity-generating capacity.
California, the state with the largest residential market for solar, broke quarterly records in 2019. The Golden State also continues to hold its position as one of the top solar states in the country.
New homes built in California in 2020 will require solar panel installation before hitting the market. This is great news for solar advoc | [

The Consumer Electronics Hall of Fame: Canon EOS 300D

The first DSLR camera aimed at consumers was a stripped-down version of a professional camera that had been introduced just six months earlier

DSLR for the Masses: The Canon EOS 300D repackaged the key components used in Canon's second-ever digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR) and somehow managed to cut the retail cost in half compared with that earlier model. The 300D was the first DSLR with a retail price below US $1,000.
The Canon EOS 300D camera was the first to bring high-quality digital single-lens-reflex technology to the masses.
By the beginning of 2003, it was obvious that a good, affordable digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) was inevitable, but still probably at least a year away. So when Canon introduced the 300D in August of that year, it was a surprise in terms of both timing and cost. It was quite a capable camera at a very reasonable price.
The EOS 300D, known as the Digital Rebel in the United States and the Kiss Digital in Japan, was the direct descendent of another Canon model, the 10D, which was introduced in February of 2003. The 10D, in turn, was an upgrade from its predecessor, the D60, the very first Canon DSLR. The D60, with a 6.3-megapixel sensor, had been introduced a full year earlier, in February of 2002. The D60 and the 10D seemed to establish a logical schedule for Canon: a new DSLR model every year.
The 10D, intended for the professional market, had a solid body made of a magnesium alloy. Like the D60 it had a resolution of 6.3 megapixels (roughly 3,000 by 2,000). It included image technology Canon had developed and had begun using in 2002 in various cameras other than the D60. Canon called this technology Digic, an acronym for "Digital Imaging Integrated Circuit." Originally, Digic included three chips: an image processor, a video processor, and a camera-control IC. Canon boasted at the time that its sensors were notable for low noise and low power consumption.
Professional Precursor: Aimed in part at professional photographers, the EOS 10D was Canon's second digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR). It was introduced in early 2003 with a suggested retail price around US $2,000.Photo: Tom Wagner/Redux
The 10D was basically a Digic-driven replacement for the D60. Upon introduction, it was immediately praised for its picture quality.
That was the technology progression. The pricing progression was something else again. Canon announced the D60, its second DSLR, in February 2002 with a list price of US $2,199 for a kit that included a battery and charger, some cables and software and other goodies but no lens, and $1,999 without those items. A year later, in February of 2003, Canon brought out the 10D for US $1,999, also without a lens. Then, only 6 months after that, Canon unexpectedly released yet another new 6.3-megapixel DSLR with the price slashed by half. Without a lens it was $899; another hundred bucks got you an 18–55-mm f3.5 "kit" lens. That was the 300D.
Filmless Future: The EOS 300D used the same 6.3-megapixel CMOS image sensor as the pricier 10D. The chip was displayed at the camera's introduction in August 2003, by Canon's president, Ozawa Hideki.Photo: Dickson Lee/South China Morning Post/Getty Images

-megapixel CMOS image sensor and the image processor as the 10D. Among the most obvious differences, the 300D was noticeably smaller and lighter.
The 10D's viewfinder was based on a pentaprism, basically a block of glass that has, you guessed it, five sides. The 300D's was based on a pentamirror, a set of mirrors that were naturally less heavy than a pentaprism. Also, where the 10D had a durable housing, the 300D's body was mostly plastic, though nicely styled to fit in with Canon's popular Rebel line of 35-mm film cameras.
Features that the 300D and 10D had in common included an illuminated LCD control panel and a separate, 1.8-inch color LCD display for captured images. The 300D lacked a few features of its predecessor, including some dedicated controls for autofocus and exposure. These were missed mainly by professionals, who weren't in the target market anyway.
These details notwithstanding, it is still a mystery how Canon managed to take almost all of the components that constituted a 10D, and in roughly six months, reconfigure and repackage them into a unit it could sell profitably for half the price. (Canon did not respond to requests for an interview.)
What Canon has said publicly is that the Digital Rebel 300D was one of its most successful introductions in 2003. In its annual report for that year, it disclosed that sales exceeded expectations, and that if it hadn't designed and manufactured its own semiconductors—the Digic CMOS image sensors and controller chips—it would have run out of both.
By establishing the sub-$1,000 DSLR, Canon made what had been professional-grade digital photography affordable for nonpros. In so doing it created the "prosumer" market, a niche previously identified by electronics manufacturers in other consumer categories. Considering its price and performance, contemporary reviewers mostly agreed it was the best camera value on the market. It was the start of the DSLR's ascendance to the top of the high-performance camera market. It's a perch that only now does it seem poised to relinquish, in the foreseeable future, to a newer and fast-rising category: full-frame mirrorless cameras.

Miniscule Sensing Suite is a Big Step Towards Robotic Gnats
Tiny flying robots need even tinier flying sensors
Evan Ackerman
Evan Ackerman is a senior editor at IEEE Spectrum. Since 2007, he has written over 6,000 articles on robotics and technology. He has a degree in Martian geology and is excellent at playing bagpipes.
An accelerometer, camera, and microprocessor make up the hardware of a sensing and autonomy system for tiny flying robots.

In the late 1980s, Rod Brooks and Anita Flynn published a paper in The Journal of the British Interplanetary Society with the amazing title of Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control: A Robotic Invasion of the Solar System. The paper explored the idea that instead of sending one big and complicated and extremely expensive robot to explore (say) the surface of Mars, you could instead send a whole bunch of little and simple and extremely cheap robots, while still accomplishing mission goals. The abstract of the paper concludes: "We suggest that within a few years it will be possible at modest cost to invade a planet with millions of tiny robots."
That was 1989, we're still nowhere near millions of tiny robots. Some things are just really hard to scale down, and building robots that are | [

the size of bees or flies or even gnats requires advances in (among other things) sensing for autonomy as well as appropriate power systems. But progress is being made, and Sawyer Fuller, assistant professor at the University of Washington (who knows a thing or four about insect-scale flying robots), has a new article inScience Robotics that shows how it's possible to put together the necessary sensing hardware to enable stable, autonomous flight for flying robots smaller than a grain of rice.
For a tiny flying robot to be autonomous (or for any flying robot to be autonomous, really) it needs to be able to maintain its own stability, using sensors to keep track of where it is and make sure that it doesn't go anywhere that it doesn't want to go. This is especially tricky for small-scale flying robots, because they can be pushed around by air currents or turbulence that larger robots can simply ignore. But it turns out that being tiny also has some advantages: Because the drag of the air itself becomes more dominant the smaller an aircraft gets, an onboard gyroscope becomes irrelevant, and you just need an accelerometer. Tie that to an optic flow camera to track motion, along with a microcontroller to do the computation, and you have everything you need.
The camera in the picture above is, somewhat incredibly, available off-the-shelf. It's designed primarily to explore your insides, which is why the entire camera is only 0.65 millimeters tall and wide, 1.2 mm long, and weighs 1 milligram (including its multi-element lens). The sensor on this particular camera exceeds the power budget that the researchers are targeting, probably because its intended use case does not involve tiny robots with tinier batteries, but there are existing sensors of a similar size that would work.
In total, this hardware weighs 6.2 mg and uses 167 microwatts of power, which in theory could be suitable for a 10 mg flying robot, something about the size of a chonky gnat. Figuring out whether it all actually works in practice isn't easy, since chonky robotic gnats don't exist, so the researchers instead used a palm-sized drone running simulated sensors. Testing showed that the system was able to successfully estimate the attitude of the drone and also detect and reject disturbances from wind. In fact, its performance was comparable to an actual fruit fly, which is impressive considering how long the fruit fly has had to refine its design.
"Reducing drone size down to gnat scale only amplifies many of the benefits of insect scale," Fuller says, "such as greater potential to harvest all needed energy from the environment and larger deployments." Much like Brooks and Flynn's vision for swarms of inexpensive robots, Fuller sees the kind of gnat-sized robots that these sensors will help enable as a completely new approach to autonomous exploration. "Small flying robotic insects will revolutionize low-altitude atmospheric 'air telemetry'—remote sensing of air composition and flow—by doing so on a much more detailed and persistent basis than is possible now. They will power themselves from the sun or indoor lighting—which favors small scale. The chemical sensor might be an insect antenna, which my group demonstrated in the 'smellicopter.' Applications include early detection of forest fires, pest onset in agriculture, buried explosives, or mapping hazardous volatiles to find leaks of greenhouse gasses or the spread of airborne diseases."
And if you find the whole "Fast, Cheap, and Out of Control" thing compelling and want to watch a very strange movie of the same name from 1997 featuring Rod Brooks, a lion tamer, a topiary artist, and a naked mole rat expert, here you go.

It's nearly impossible to find a household today that doesn't have at least one connected smart home device installed. From video doorbells to robot vacuums, automated lighting, and voice assistants, smart home technology has invaded consumers' homes and shows no sign of disappearing anytime soon. Indeed, according to a study conducted by consulting firm Parks Associates, smart home device adoption has increased by more than 64 percent in the past two years, with 23 percent of households owning three or more smart home devices. This is particularly true for devices that provide security with 38 percent of Americans owning a home security product. This percentage is likely to increase as 7 in 10 homebuyers claimed that safety and security was the primary reason, after convenience, that they would be seeking out smart homes, according to a report published by Security.org last year.
As the demand for smart home security grows, it's pertinent that the engineers who build the products and services that keep millions of customers safe continue to experiment with new technologies that could enhance overall security and accessibility. At SimpliSafe, an award-winning home security company based in Boston, Mass., it is the pursuit of industry-leading protection that drives the entire organization to continue innovating.
In this article, Nate Wilfert, VP of Software Engineering at SimpliSafe, discusses the complex puzzles his team is solving on a daily basis—such as applying artificial intelligence (AI) technology into cameras and building load-balancing solutions to handle server traffic—to push forward the company's mission to make every home secure and advance the home security industry as a whole.
Using AI to enhance safety and customer experience
Since its founding in 2006, SimpliSafe has been reimagining antiquated security products and services and developing accessible technology that can be easily installed into homes across the country. It redefined the home security space by introducing wireless, DIY products and pioneered giving customers the ability to monitor their homes via a smartphone app. Today, SimpliSafe's talented engineering team continues to innovate by investigating how AI can be used to reduce false alarms and enhance the customer experience.
False alarms are a constant obstacle in the home security and emergency response industries. Not only are false alarms annoying to customers, but they also make it difficult for emergency responders to differentiate between real emergencies and accidental alarm trips, which in turn, result in slower response times. One of our engineering team's top priorities is understanding how they can reduce false alarms and send help fast to address verified emergencies. The potential solution? Integrating AI into security cameras.
Our engineering team is developing AI that will make our cameras "smarter" and give them the ability to identify specific objects to reduce false alarms and enhance the customer experience.
Imagine having an outdoor camera that could tell you if the vehicle in your driveway is a friend, a stranger, or a police car. Or what about having a video doorbell that could tell you if the backpacked teenager on your front stoop is your daughter returning home from school or a delivery person dropping off tonight's takeout dinner? Customers are only interested in receiving alerts for movements that are out of the ordinary and security monitoring centers are only interested in addressing emergency events. Thanks to AI, we're on our way to addressing all of these needs.
Currently, our engineering team is developing AI that will make our cameras "smarter" and give them the ability to identify specific objects with the ultimate goal of delivering a best-in-class customer experience. With these advanced cameras, customers will receive tailored app alerts detailing the specifics of the detected camera activity. In time, emergency operators will only receive calls for activity that appears out of the ordinary, thereby reducing false alarms and accelerating emergency response.

Lessons Learned From Reviewing Indie Games
I have covered hundreds of indie games in the past decade, and today, I want to share my thoughts on what I've learned about reviewing games from this space.
Josh Bycer
Over the past decade, I've had a chance to look at hundreds of indie games and have written or talked about them in reviews. I've been thinking a lot about how one reviews videogames, and today, I want to share my thoughts on reviewing indie games.
The "Perfect Game"
Growing up playing games as a child, I always thought that videogames were released the same way a supercar is built perfectly designed as an exquisite product. I'm sure for the adults reading this right now they also felt the same way.
The romanticism surrounding the game industry and game development continues to this day and has led to various issues. Most consumers, and even reviewers themselves, still don't understand much about the process of making a game. While that's not a prerequisite for enjoying games, I would expect that to be an important requirement of professional reviewers.
The race to the bottom and sales mentality has led to games of all manner of size, quality, and scope, vying for the attention of gamers. Fifteen years ago, seeing a game on a store shelf or the first games on Steam was a huge deal. Right now, I can look on Steam and be bombarded with shovelware, asset flips, and titles not even worth $5, and that's on the new releases.
For someone who has spent their life playing nothing but AAA titles, it can be a huge change for them to look at indie games. In the past, I've called out reviewers and sites who only cover AAA games or the "indie darlings," as they're not giving a fair representation of the market.
The problem is that even the very best indie games cannot and should not be reviewed the same as a AAA game. I feel that despite how far the indie scene has come, it's still treated differently in some respects compared to major companies by Youtubers, streamers, and game reviewers.
The Kind of Indie Coverage
We've been using the term "indie game" throughout this piece and there's a problem with it. Talking about indie games, there has been an argument about what is and what isn't considered an indie game. Looking at games that sport the "indie" tag on steam, the spectrum of games is astronomically vast.
The issue is that it tends to cloud people's perception of what an indie game is and how they review it, and this can be broken down into three types of reviews.
For indie darlings that reach the mainstream, major sites treat these games like unearthing some strange, mysterious, treasure out of the ground. They'll talk about the game as if this game just broke every preconceived notion about what a videogame is and has changed their worldview forever.
Most likely, we'll also see additional articles about this game on major sites detailing how everyone should take notes from this game and how it will change the future of the game industry.
My problem with this style is twofold. First, it paints an unrealistic depiction of the indie market. We have spoken about how risky game development is, and for every game succeeds, there are countless games that don't. For the people who prop up indie games this way, they generally don't talk about or cover the variety of games from the indie space.
They're "industry-defining art" for me is just one of the few indie games I've played that are being noticed by mainstream reviewers. Often, by the time one of these games makes it to the mainstream, I have already played it, review it, and moved on to the next interesting game. For developers reading these reviews and thinking that's the way to go, one of the easiest traps for new developers is to try and directly copy another game's design. By the time you are playing a hit videogame, it is too late to make something just like it and expect to do just as well or better.
once again, the perfect image to capture being a game developer
Then there are the people who treat indie games as a joke: some weird thing that we should point and laugh at. Thankfully, this style isn't seen on major sites but has found a home on Twitch and YouTube. Many people who call themselves "professional gamers" will focus | [

Marvel: Avengers Stars And Their Most Favorite MCU Movie

Avengers Stars Favorite MCU Movie
Avengers Stars Favorite MCU Movie:
While each one of you who is taking out the time to read this article is a dedicated Marvel Universe fan, we are certain you must already have a favorite MCU movie that you have watched more than once. But have you ever wondered which MCU film is most loved by the Avengers Actors? Find out if you and your favorite Marvel Star share the same favorite.
1. Brie Larson
The most anticipated movie of MCU fans was without a doubt, Avengers: Infinity War as it brought all superheroes together on one screen. Brie Larson, the newest face of MCU family who plays the oldest superhero, Captain Marvel also enjoyed Infinity War the most as it fascinated her for the same reasons.
2. Chris Evans
For Chris, Captain America: The Winter Soldier happens to be his most memorable movie. It was not just a favorite but meant more profound to him. Chris suffers from social anxiety and MCU's Captain America: The First Avenger was his first big break where he was overwhelmed and underprepared with the new character in such a mammoth of a franchise. He started to understand the universe and the character slowly in the second installment which was groundbreaking for him.
3. Tom Holland
The young and adorable Spider-Man actor, Tom Holland is quite goofy and has a good sense of humor. So it's no hard guess that his favorite MCU movie has to be one with the most comedy. Like many of us, Tom and Jake Gyllenhaal, Mysterio actor, loved Taika Waititi's Thor: Ragnarok. And this movie happens to so far the best product of the Thor franchise.
4. Paul Rudd
Ant-Man actor, Paul is adored by his fans for his comedy roles in both MCU and Friends. And Ant-Man is one of the most comedy action movies of MCU but its star loves some other hilarious Marvel film. Like Tom Holland & Jake, Paul's favorite also happens to be Thor: Ragnarok for the candid comedy.
5. Chris Hemsworth
We always love what we don't have. Half of the MCU family loves Thor: Ragnarok, but the titular actor is a Guardians of the Galaxy fan. The unique approach captured his attention and lucky for Chris as he is now also a part of the GOTG team.
6. Robert Downey
We know what brought you to this article was to learn about your favorite MCU star's favorite. For the die-hard fans of Iron Man, RDJ considered Infinity War to be the best with the last 8 profound minutes completely stealing the show. RDJ pioneered MCU Phase 1 with Iron Man that began the journey towards the ultimate battle of Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. All the superheroes uniting to bring down one common enemy had more significance than what merely appears on the screen. And this fact touched his heart.
7. Karen Gillan
The Scottish actor has starred in a total of four Marvel movies so far as Nebula in the Guardians of the Galaxy series and Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame. Upon being asked in an interview, she revealed that Avengers: Endgame was the one that blew her mind away.
8. Lupita Nyong'o
The fine actress did an amazing job as Nakia in Black Panther. Lupita is inclined to movies that deliver meaning for the greater good. Therefore, her favorite MCU film is Black Panther for the strong message it holds for the audience. What impressed her was its politics & the plot's gender inclusivity where female also held powers which didn't turn the men insecure.
9. Don Cheadle
The War Machine actor, Don Cheadle, is expected to be entering the MCU tv series on Disney + with a standalone. By now, Cheadle has appeared in plenty of MCU movies, starting from Iron Man 2. But like most of the Avengers on this list, his favorite is the one in which he didn't feature, Thor: Ragnarok.
10. Evangeline Lilly

Suskind: Bush ordered fake letter linking Iraq to 9/11
//rawstory.com/news/2008/Suskind_Bush_ordered_fake_letter_linking_0805.html
Informant: Geraldo Cienmarcos
Book Says White House Ordered Iraq-WMD Forgery
Mike Allen reports for Politico.com: "A new book by the author Ron Suskind claims that the White House ordered the CIA to forge a back-dated, handwritten letter from the head of Iraqi intelligence to Saddam Hussein. Suskind writes in 'The Way of the World,' to be published Tuesday, that the alleged forgery - adamantly denied by the White House - was designed to portray a false link between Hussein's regime and al Qaeda as a justification for the Iraq war. The author also claims that the Bush administration had information from a top Iraqi intelligence official 'that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq - intelligence they received in plenty of time to stop an invasion.'"

Suskind Stands by White House WMD Forgery Claim
According to MSNBC.com: "Despite adamant denials by both the White House and the CIA, journalist Ron Suskind Wednesday stood by his allegation that the Bush administration concocted a fake letter purporting to show a link between Saddam Hussein's regime and al-Qaida as a justification for the Iraq war. 'It's all on the record,' Suskind told Meredith Vieira on TODAY. Two former CIA officers denied that they or the spy agency faked an Iraqi intelligence document, as they are quoted as saying in Suskind's book 'The Way of the World,' published Tuesday. 'I never received direction from George Tenet (CIA director at the time) or anyone else in my chain of command to fabricate a document as outlined in Mr. Suskind's book,' said Robert Richer, the CIA's former deputy director of clandestine operations."

New Book Claims Bush White House Used Forged Documents In Case For Iraq War
By Yossi Melman, Haaretz Correspondent
According to the book, the Central Intelligence Agency's Directorate of Operations was responsible for fabricating the documents. The book goes on to say that the British intelligence agency MI6 recruited Saddam Hussein's intelligence chief, Tahir Abd al-Jalil al-Tikriti, and questioned him in Amman two months before the war, and then handed him over to the CIA.

The Rehabilitation Services teams at KEMH and MWI are dedicated to providing innovative rehabilitation programmes that optimise patient outcomes. Patients receive specialised care from a highly skilled interdisciplinary team of physicians, nurses, psychologists and therapists.
Our goal is to help you increase your independence, improve safety at home and work, and enhance the quality of your life. Our services include physical, occupational, speech and recreational therapy divisions. We treat inpatients with a variety of diagnoses, including but not limited to general surgery, orthopedics, neurology, oncology and psychiatry. We also treat outpatients after surgery, sports injury, stroke or illness, and for hydrotherapy related to wound care.
Patients are seen by appointment only and must have a physician's referral in order to be seen.
Cardiac rehabilitation services are offered to patients and their families following a heart attack, heart surgery, coronary angioplasty/stents or heart failure. The main goal of this service is to assist patients in developing a healthy lifestyle plan that includes physical activity, education, stress management and nutrition counselling.
Our programme provides practical and emotional support, and consists of Heartline, a four-week education course, and a 10-week Cardiac Exercise Programme. A physician referral is required for these services.
Patients will initially be assessed for Heartline by our cardiac nurse and for the Cardiac Exercise Programme by a cardiac physiotherapist. Participants of these programmes will also have access to a registered dietitian, medical social worker, clinical psychologist and occupational therapist.
Day Hospital Rehabilitation Service is dedicated to the treatment of neurological conditions, stroke, paraplegia, quadriplegia, Parkinson's Disease, etc. It consists of a six-week outpatient programme which allows patients who have been discharged from the hospital and require two or more therapies to receive coordinated follow-up services in a single location. They may meet here with their psychologist or speech therapist, or receive rehabilitation services from their occupational or physical therapist.
A team of experienced prosthetists (artificial limb specialists) hold a clinic every six weeks for measuring, fitting and adjusting prosthetic limbs. The prosthetists and physiotherapists work together with our patients to ensure that those individuals with a new amputation as well as those who have been living for years with their amputation achieve the best outcome based on comfort, function and lifestyle.
The brace part of the clinic is designed to meet the needs of patients who require body or extremity bracing. It serves newly disabled patients and those who need repairs and/or new braces by providing fittings to improve mobility, daily function abilities, independence and control, education on proper use of devices, and follow-up modifications and adjustments.
Please call for the schedule.
The Mood and Memory Clinic is designed for people who may be showing signs of dementia. You and your family members will meet one-on-one with our consultant geriatrician and clinical psychologist, who will advise on appropriate investigations, provide treatment options and discuss all aspects of the illness.
A referral from your physician is required, with a description of medical diagnosis, medication list, blood test results and imaging studies.
Neurological therapy (stroke rehabilitation) assessment usually begins the day a stroke patient is admitted to the hospital. A vital aspect of stroke treatment, rehabilitation is provided by a team of physical, occupational and speech therapists. Therapy is tailored to the individual needs of the patient and can involve re-learning skills as basic as walking and talking.
The Bermuda Stroke and Family Support Association holds a support group meeting in the 1st Floor Conference Room, General Wing, KEMH, at 7pm on the third Wednesday of each month. Inpatients, former patients and family members are all encouraged to attend.
Our occupational therapists help patients work to increase their ability to perform everyday activities, such as bathing, eating, dressing and personal care, creative activities, specific work-related tasks, activities involving social and interpersonal relationships and recreational pursuits, and to learn to use adaptive equipment such as walkers.
We have a holistic approach, in which the occupational therapist works closely with | [

EU foreign affairs head Federica Mogherini said the refugee influx, which has opened deep divisions in the bloc, is here to stay and member states must adjust to that new reality.

Austria Smuggler Crackdown as Europe Divided over Migrant Crisis
The hunt for people smugglers led to a security crackdown and massive tailbacks on Austria's border with Hungary on Monday, as Europe struggled to present a united front on the huge influx of migrants and refugees.
Austria's tightened security followed the discovery of 71 dead migrants, four of them children, in an abandoned lorry near the border with Hungary last week.
New Arrest in Hungary over Austrian Migrant Tragedy
Hungarian police said Sunday that they have arrested a fifth man over the deaths of 71 migrants found in an abandoned truck in Austria last week.

The Canary Islands are a Mecca for Europe's lockdown escapees
4 January 2022, 5:55am
From Spectator Life

Those looking for ancient culture will find it in abundance on Fuerteventura – a canary island known more for its beaches than its heritage. I'd ended up in a hostel run by an Italian couple deep in the island's outback. Looming over the hostel was the holy mountain of Tindaya, on whose summit indigenous islanders once left their dead. It also has the most important set of podomorph engravings in the world — 300 pairs of foot-shaped engravings, the left and right soles with attendant digits flush together, carved into the rock.
These simple and rather touching imprints struck a particular chord with me after my extended Camino across the Iberian Peninsula following the steps of previous pilgrims. In the hostel bookcase a book about the mountain contained illustrations of a giant hidden chamber at the heart of the mass of rock and tunnels toward it, à la the Pyramids.
Ten miles to the south of Lanzarote across the Atlantic Ocean, Fuerteventura offers a larger version of the same mix of volcanic surprises and impressive beaches. While the latter element of the Spanish-African hybrid mix that characterises the eight Canary Islands gets increasingly noticeable. Once you reach the popular resort town of Morro Jable at Fuerteventura's most southern point, you're on the same latitude as the Western Sahara 90 miles to the east.
Before catching the three-hour ferry to Gran Canaria, I tried to relax at one of Morro Jable's beaches despite the sand being blown into my teeth. Fuerteventura's gusty winds make it a Mecca for windsurfers and kite surfers. The naked Germans striding around me didn't seem to mind the increased potentialities of where the wind could blow the sand. Waiting to board the ferry dockside, three young German men offered to make me a sandwich with contents from a vagabond pile of shopping bags, rucksacks and suitcases. They'd left Germany due to Covid restrictions, spending the last three months on Fuerteventura sleeping in hostels, on the beach and on the street, while 'smoking a lot of marijuana.'

As the ferry was approaching Gran Canaria, the sun was setting, Venus was visible in the sky and the three Germans were drunk, one of them riotously so. Hence he may have missed how the island's entire profile, from the raised centre to the tapering diameter, was silhouetted against the darkening winter sky. That volcanic centre was shrouded in low-level cloud, while the lights of resorts shone along the coastline to crescendo at Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the capital city where we docked at the island's most north-eastern point. The island is described as a mini continent due to its variety of landscapes. Down south, the giant sweeping sand dunes of Maspalomas next to Playa Ingles — English Beach — are a favoured haunt of nudists and swingers.

There's a moment in one of the first scenes of Steven Soderbergh's new punches-and-espionage thriller "Haywire," when the director is setting up a rescue operation for the audience with a montage of an important-looking series of images and diagrams tacked onto a bulletin board.
In one shot there's a yellow Post-It note taped next to a photo of a stern and balding man standing outside an apartment building. It reads, simply and plainly, "Bad Guy #1."
As viewers we don't know it yet, but with this simple description, Soderbergh isn't just delineating his antagonists, he's telegraphing the narrative tone of his entire, brisk hour-and-a-half movie: thin, frugal, barely-there storytelling with minimal expository detail leading from one well-choreographed fight scene to the next.
Gina Carano and Ewan McGregor in Steven Soderbergh's "Haywire"
"Haywire" is about a private securities firm contracted for a simple extraction job in Barcelona, which is reality all an elaborate ruse to double-cross one of its agents, played by Gina Carano. Carano is a retired mixed martial arts fighter and a former American Gladiator. She's an imposing physical presence and a brutal fighter. As hard as her punches are, she's not a strong dramatic actor, nor does she really have to be. She plays a very calm, cool and determined action hero, a women on the lam who is out for answers and revenge (though not necessarily in that order).
Actually, it isn't really accurate to say the movie just stars Carano. "Haywire" was made for Carano after Soderbergh stumbled upon one of her MMA fights on TV. He called up former screenwriting collaborator Lem Dobs (of "The Limey") and together they pounded out a script where Carano would be, in a sense, a general, de-gendered action hero.
Soderbergh didn't want to treat Carano's character the way women usually are depicted in action movies. To his credit, he didn't want to treat her any differently than the standard male action movie protagonist, which is not something he felt had been done in modern action movies. That's probably why the film's original working title, "Knockout," was changed to "Haywire," as the clear double-meaning behind the original title is that she throws a knock-out punch to go along with her knock-out looks.
Though really, "Haywire" isn't a particularly accurate title for the movie either. Gina Carano's character, Mallory Kane, is stoic and self-assured, rarely showing any emotion beside eyes burning with anger during or before a fight. At no point do we see her lose control, flail about chaotically or act in any erratic or irrational manner, as the word "haywire" might imply. And her actions are really all that we have to go on to figure her out because the story and dialogue are paper thin.
"Haywire" is chock full of ambiguous but spy-movie sounding terms and references. It comes with the obligatory exotic locales but never any reason why things have to be happening there. In Barcelona, the covert ops agents are rescuing a dissident Chinese journalist from captivity. But from whom? Why was he being held? Who wants him rescued? Why do we care? If these things were mentioned, I missed them, because any explanations are just generic fodder for advancing the film onto the next great fight scene.
There's a welcome helping of Soderbergh's aesthetic style in "Haywire" (the opening shot gave me high expectations that the rest of the movie quickly dashed). It's certainly stylish but it's as cool and distinctive in some parts as it is watery and generic in others.
Every fight scene in "Haywire" is like a sip of a satisfyingly strong drink at an otherwise lame party. I knew what I was there for the strong punch, but the conversation around it is so bad that I felt like I was left starring bored into an empty cup before the movie contrived to bring another delightful bit of combat choreography back my way. | [

A DEATH at a Bendigo aged care facility has been referred to the coroner, as auditors confirmed a medication error led to a "significant negative outcome" for one resident. The Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission said that a recent death at Royal Freemasons Flora Hill had been referred to the coroner, in response to questions about the outcome referred to by auditors. The incident was referenced in the commission's latest audit into the home, which found it non-compliant with quality and safety standards. Related content: Assessors cited issues such as medication errors and staff shortages. They said there were "deficiencies" in management's response to a resident receiving the wrong medication. The commission told the Bendigo Advertiser that it became aware that a recent death of a resident had been referred to the coroner for investigation when conducting an audit at Royal Freemasons Flora Hill. The commission warned it was closely monitoring Royal Freemasons in Flora Hill to make sure the home took all the necessary steps to improve the safety and quality of care. The commission warned it had a number of further regulatory actions it might consider if a non-compliant service was not meeting its obligations. These option include applying sanctions, issuing a notice requiring agreement to certain actions, varying accreditation status, or revoking an approved provider status. Other news: The commission said the unannounced site audit at Royal Freemasons Flora Hill took place between March 15 and 17, after the commission received complaints about the facility. The side audit found the service was non-compliant with three of the 42 requirements of the Aged Care Quality Standards. These were in the areas of personal and clinical care, human resources and organisational governance. The commission said it issued a note of non-compliance to the service on June 8. Royal Freemasons Kangaroo Flat was also found non-compliant with several aspects of aged care quality and safety standards, just months before the report into Flora Hill. A Royal Freemasons spokesperson said they would like to reassure the community, residents and families, that its Flora Hill home remained fully accredited by the Aged Care Quality Commission. They said managers and staff continued to focus on the non-compliances identified by the commission, to make sure its residents received the highest level of care. Know more?

Destroyer USS Mahan Fires Warning Shots in Standoff with Iranian Forces

This post has been updated with a statement from U.S. 5th Fleet.
The crew of the guided-missile destroyer USS Mahan (DDG-72) fired three warning shots to ward off four armed attack boats coming at the ship at high speed, a defense official confirmed to USNI News on Monday.
On Sunday, Mahan was transiting the Strait of Hormuz into the Persian Gulf when the four Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy fast inshore attack craft (FIAC) came at the destroyer at a high rate of speed with their crew-served weapons manned, the official told USNI News.
After several attempts to warn off the boats with radio communications, siren and the ship's whistle the boats came within 900 yards of the guided missile destroyer before the crew fired three warning shots from one of the ships .50 caliber guns.
After the shots were fired, the boats broke off.
Mahan was underway along with the big deck amphib USS Makin Island (LHD-8) and U.S. a fleet oiler, the official said.

A helicopter from Makin Island also deployed a smoke screen generator, a so-called "smoke float" that did not deter the IRGCN boats.
"Naval Forces Central Command assesses this interaction as unsafe and unprofessional due to the IRGCN's vessels high-speed approach on Mahan with weapons manned and disregard for repeated warnings via radio, audible siren and ship's whistle, which only arrested following warning shots being fired," read a statement from U.S. 5th Fleet provided to USNI News.
The latest clash with the IRGCN follows several high-profile encounters in August and September between IRGCN patrol boats and comes almost a year after IRGCN forces detained ten U.S. sailors who strayed into Iranian waters in the Farsi Island.
The IRGCN is separate from the Iranian Navy and has been responsible for Iranian costal defense since 2007.
They report to Iran's religious government and are given free reign to, "boldly and courageously" in the performance of its duties, a former defense official told USNI News.
The following is a Jan. 9 statement from U.S. 5th Fleet on the encounter.
Four Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN) fast inshore attack
craft (FIAC) approached the guided-missile destroyer USS Mahan (DDG-72) at a
high rate of speed with their weapons manned as the ship was transiting
international waters in the Strait of Hormuz on Jan. 8.
Mahan established radio communications with the IRGCN vessels and issued
multiple radio and visual warnings to remain clear. Disregarding the
warnings, the IRGCN vessels continued to directly approach Mahan at a high
rate of speed. Mahan then fired three warning shots with a crew-served 50
caliber machine gun, and the IRGCN vessels arrested their high-speed
Naval Forces Central Command assesses this interaction as unsafe and
unprofessional due to the IRGCN's vessels high-speed approach on Mahan with
weapons manned and disregard for repeated warnings via radio, audible siren,
and ship's whistle, which only arrested following warning shots being fired.

Call of Cthulhu: Stark Raving Mad
Stark Raving Mad
For several weeks, Irfan was asking me if I could run the continuation of his first Call of Cthulhu game where he roleplays SFPD Detective D.J. Stark. Finally I had the time to sit down and write prep notes for a short session. Irfan got into Detective Stark's shoes, trench coat, shirt and tie, and then got right into it.
The game started out where the previous session ended: Captain Greta Hack gives the bruised and battered Stark a week's off after he shot his turncoat partner Lee Wilson and rescued Paige Riordan from the vicious underground creatures.
Stark really has a Glock 9mm, not a revolver
Returning to his apartment, he was ambushed by one of the foetid, muzzle-mouthed creatures in his kitchen. He felled it with a shot. The rest ran out the corridor and down the staircase. Stark pursued, but he was unsuccessful in tracking the beasts. When he returned to his apartment, the body of the creature he shot was gone.
Two patrolmen was dispatched, Officers Walton and Baines, who puzzled at the black blood that was drying on the carpet where the creature was shot. As Stark took samples of the blood, the cops circled the building and found a piece of paper in the bushes that was stained with the same black fluid, which read "2020 7th Avenue". The policemen said they would investigate the address and suggested Stark get some rest.
In the middle of the night, he was startled by an appearance of an elderly Chinese man in his room who carried with him an ancient looking book. Identifying himself as Thomas Chao, he claimed that he tome he bore, The Book of Destinies was a family heirloom that was brought to San Francisco from Shanghai by his grandfather, and it held secrets that could help Stark fight evil. Before leaving, Mr. Chao wrote down his phone number should Stark needed his help.
The next morning, Stark was unsure what he would do. He went back to the beach where he rescued Paige. Another detective made fun of his claims of seeing monsters. The team sweeping the beach and the tunnels reported that they found no trace of the creatures nor of Wilson.
Returning home, he finds a patrol car parked in front of the building. Officers Smith and Jones had come by to ask Stark about Walton and Baines who were not answered their radio since the previous night. Stark told them that the other cops left his building last night to investigate a house on 7th Avenue. Smith and Jones drove off to the address.
Stark called up Mr. Chao to find out what he knew. Someone on the other end of the phone answered "Chao's Chicken Rice" and forwarded the call to Thomas Chao. Chao informed him that the creatures that were ghouls. In the last 20 years, ghouls had been slowly flooding into the sewers under San Francisco and were tunneling to graveyards to consume the dead. Now their population had expanded tremendously. Mr. Chao had discovered that the ghouls had learned how to summon and bind a great evil entity, known as Sharakh-Kheth, the Scream of a Thousand Infants. Sharakh-Kheth's crossing over into our reality will create a psychic backlash that would kill every living human in the city, and reanimate those had recently died. It would also be in the thrall of the ghoul who summoned it.
Stark thanked Mr. Chao and drove for 7th Avenue. As he approached the location, a police car appeared and smashed into Stark's car. Although his vehicle was badly damaged, Stark was only lightly injured with glass cuts on his cheeks and chin. He found that the police car was empty, and there were no other car nor people as far as he could see on the street. Drawing his weapon, he approached 2020 7th Avenue.
Suddenly, a chill wind began to blow and dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, swirling in a spiral pattern. There was another abandoned police car in front of the building. Stark saw an opportunity to pick up a shotgun from it. He tried opening the building's garage, but he found it welded | [

shut. Running up the stoop, he kicked down the front door and there were Officers Smith and Jones in the living room recently dead from slashed jugulars. Stark took Jones' radio and called dispatch, telling them officer down and backup was needed at 2020 7th Avenue.
Hearing a sound from the garage, Stark crept downstairs with his shotgun trained ahead. The garage was empty except for a massive hole that led downward underground, and a solitary ghoul standing guard over it. The ghoul saw Stark and pounced on him, but a shotgun blast ended him quick.
Then the house began to shake. Glasses started to shatter. A loud unholy chanting could be heard from the top floor. Stark bounded up the stairs ready for anything, and aware that backup would not get there soon enough. Upstairs, he discovered that four ghouls – including a mutated former detective Lee Wilson – had started the summoning.
The two missing policemen – Walton and Baines – and an unidentified woman lay dead positioned within a circle on the floor. Sounds of eldritch chanting from Wilson had caused the ceiling to glow in a bright blue light, and shaking the house to its foundation. Wilson noticed Stark and ordered two ghouls to attack him. They came for him trying to slash him with sharp claws and missing their marks. Evading the attacks also made Stark miss several times with his shotgun, although one lucky discharge sent a single ghoul flying to the floor.
Stark looked up and gazed upon a gigantic hand about to descent through the bright, blue mist in the ceiling. The hand – fingers, palm and wrist – was a horrific scene. It the size of a car and was shaped by dozens of corpses of infants, each appear to be stuck in a soundless scream. The hand of Sharakh-Kheth nearly sent Stark's mind into an abyss of insanity. But somehow, he had the strength to point his shotgun at Wilson and pull the trigger.
Wilson's head exploded and the ceiling seemed to scream. There was a blinding flash. Wilson's body erupted in blue energy and was shredded to bits by some strange force. Large cracks began to form on the floor and the walls. The other ghouls wailed in agony as they bled through their eyes, nose and ears. Stark realised that was doing the same.
He staggered, descended the stairs and the world shattered around him. He fell and felt pain, and then remembered nothing else.
The next thing he knew he was being carried on a gurney by paramedics and an oxygen mask was on his face. He did not want to know what his face looked like. He was outside and there were police and rescue vehicles parked haphazardly on the street. Captain Hack appeared by his side and told him that the fire department pulled him out of the ruins of the house with lots of bruises, cuts and several broken bones. He had survived thanks to the stairwell.
Hack asked him what had happened. Stark gave it a thought and told her he was in the dark as well, but unknown hostiles in the house had killed four police officers when he arrived. Hack told him to get some rest at the hospital. Stark felt that although he had seen something unbelievable and nearly broke his mind, he knew that it was his hand that had halted it from appearing through the ceiling portal and killing. He took solace in this fact.
Before the paramedics closed the ambulance's rear doors, Stark caught a glimpse of Mr. Chao standing in the shadows on the curb, holding his precious book, and smiling at him in genuine approval.
I don't know how but nearly every sanity and damage roll never seemed to get more than 3. He could have died when the house fell on him but he didn't.
I made up Sharakh-Kheth hastily. No backstory was written for the cosmic being.
He failed his Drive Auto check which totalled his car.
Irfan roleplayed the calling for backup scene using the radio awesomely. I've never seen him do it so well, telling dispatch who he was, where he was, officers were down and backup is needed.
Apparently there is a Google Street View of 2020 7th Avenue. I discovered this after the fact. It's | [

How is it possible that it has been 9 months since the day of your birth and the day you received your angel wings? You have now been in heaven about the same amount of time you were in my tummy. Mommy really misses you. I long to know what you would look like today. I wish you were here making memories with your family. I cherish the memories we made during your life with us and am so very thankful that we did make so many memories with you. I read a story just recently about another mommy going through the same situation missing her little girl in heaven. She wrote about how although they knew their little one was most likely going to go to heaven before she was born, they made special memories with her two brothers and shared the experience together. Although we never expected in a million years your life would end so soon, we are so thankful that we experienced so many memories together as a family of five. I smile when I think back to nights when you, Mommy, Daddy, Evan and Brody would cuddle together on our bed (yes, it can be quite crowded at times, but we love it!) and how we would all laugh together and watch you move and kick. We all looked forward to having you join us in a tickle fest and wanted to see who would make you laugh first. This month, you would likely be crawling all over the house and getting into all of your brothers' toys. I can just see you chasing them around the house. There would be so much laughter!
And a cute little t-shirt.
You would likely still need to wear some warmer clothes this month as we've had an unusually long winter.
No matter what you would wear, you would be so beautiful to us! We love you, little angel!
With a recent Shutterfly coupon savings, I finally made a photo book for our wonderful trip to California with Evan four years ago! Yes, I am four years late on making this book. Talk about a procrastinator! It does make me feel so much better getting this accomplished.
1. Downtown is called Uptown. – Totally true! We do call our "downtown" area uptown. In our defense, our downtown area isn't like most cities where it is run down and dirty. Our uptown area is the true center of our city. It is a really nice place to hang out with your friends or your family. It still boasts the usual tall office buildings, but it has a ton of other fun things to do. It has an NBA team arena, an NFL football stadium, and now our minor league baseball stadium all within walking distance of each other. It has some great museums like The Mint Museum of Art, Nascar Hall of Fame, Levine Museum of the New South, Discovery Place (a children's exploration museum), and many others. It has lots of great restaurants, both local and chain establishments. In short, uptown just seems to capture more of the feel for the center of our city.
2. No One is Actually from Charlotte. – I really don't think the writer of this post knows a whole lot about Charlotte and can't figure out why he or she wrote the piece. While Charlotte does have a lot of northern transplants (because it is a great city to move to), it also has a rich history that many of us "locals" are aware of. Charlotte's rich history dates back to the 1700's when it was first chartered as a city although its history goes much farther back to the first European settlers. The first Declaration of Independence from Britain was actually signed here because its people have a long history of standing up against tyranny. The only reason Charlotte wasn't chosen as our state capital was because it is not located in the center of the state. Yes, that is the only reason. Raleigh isn't a very big city at all. The fact that the writer of this article had the gall to say Charlotte lacks both character and culture just makes me angry because it is most definitely a lie! Sounds like he needs to visit a few of the museums mentioned above.
3. Charlotte only has 3 celebrities? – Really? Um, I've seen that many actual nationally known celebrities at my church (and no, it is not Elevation church, but I will leave that discussion for another time).
4. Everything is Oddly Evangelical – Well, we all know the South has a reputation of being a bit religious, don't we? Charlotte is no exception. Billy Graham, the well-known evangelist, is headqu | [

artered here. Elevation is a newer church phenomenon that I would rather not discuss. I think religion is just another part of the "culture" that has shaped this great city. As mentioned in the article, Charlotte is also "artsy" with its center of art and music being a little community just outside of "uptown" called NoDa (short for North Davidson).
5. Everyone Works for the Big 3 – Well, if you had a couple of big mega banks headquartered in your city, a lot of people would work for them too. Charlotte is actually the headquarters of 6 Fortune500 companies, including Bank of America, Lowe's, and Duke Energy, making it 10th in the nation for number of Fortune 500 companies. We also have several Fortune 500 companies that are headquartered here but don't count in the ranking because they are incorporated outside the U.S., like Carolinas Healthcare System and Hendrick Automotive Group. Of course, my husband and I don't work for Fortune 500 companies, which is okay with us.
6. Buzz City Bobcats – I admit that our NBA team hasn't had a great history, but we still show our support for them. We are looking forward to brighter days ahead when we go back to being the Charlotte Hornets. But yes, North Carolina does show a lot more interest in college basketball as a whole because we have such great college basketball history from both UNC and Duke. Of course, I don't see either of them winning the NCAA tournament later this month, but we will see.
7. BofA is Trying to Tell You Something – Ha! I have actually never seen the art this article described. The Bank of America building is the tallest in the city and is always under visitor restrictions for security purposes so you don't just walk into that building to browse. I haven't stepped foot inside it in several years.
8. The Streets are Always Empty – Really? When did you visit? In the middle of the night on Christmas Eve when everyone was at home asleep? Or maybe during one of our recent snow days? Uptown Charlotte and other bustling areas of the city like Southpark, Dilworth, and Myers Park are very busy places although the surrounding "suburbs" are actually quite nice and quiet.
9. If You Ain't First, You're Last – While NASCAR does have a big history in the Charlotte area (the race mentioned is actually in neighboring Concord, NC), it definitely isn't all or everything the city has to offer. I am not a race fan and have never been to a race, and I don't feel I am missing out on anything in this city.
10. Public Transportation is Hilarious – Our primary modes of public transit are the CATS bus system, a little trolley system called the Gold Rush (an allusion to Charlotte's history as having the first gold rush in the nation) that just goes around the uptown area, and a very new light rail train system called the Lynx. Like most southern cities, most people in Charlotte still rely heavily on private automobiles although that has been changing in the last few years. The light rail system is only in its first stage so it only goes one direction from the southern part of the city into uptown. As the system grows and expands, it will most likely grow in popularity.
11. Rafting and Rapids? – Yes, I agree that it may be weird to have a place like the U.S. National Whitewater Center here, but we aren't complaining. People love it!
12. Graveyards are EVERYWHERE – I don't actually notice a ton of graveyards in the city although I suspect that there are some very old ones attached to some of our city's oldest churches. This is a very old city with a very old heritage after all. I think that is a good thing!
13. BBQ is an Issue – While I think there are some good barbecue places in Charlotte, Charlotte is right that it doesn't actually boast the exclusive right to call its barbecue the greatest. Charlotte restaurants actually serve a variety of the types of barbecue that you can find in other parts of the state, i.e., eastern style chopped vinegar based (the best in my humble opinion), western style tomato based, and SC style mustard based. However, after recently discovering the wonderful smoky flavor of the barbecue at Midwood Smokehouse in Plaza Midwood, I do have | [

Interesting facts about Cooley Graveyard and High Cross as taken from Sean Beattie's Ancient Monuments of Inishowen, North Donegal.
A monastic site to be visited is at Moville in the townland of Carrownaffe about two kilometres off the Moville-Derry Road. A signpost from the main Moville-Derry road points in the direction of the High Cross and Cooley graveyard.
The High Cross stands at the entrance to the graveyard and is plain and undecorated. The shaft of the cross sits in a socket cut into a large stone. The ring of the cross is pierced and there is a separate hole at the top of the cross which is cut at an angle. Hole-stones are an unusual feature on some Irish crosses such as the crosses at Bonamargy Friary, Layd at Cushendall, and cross fragments at Moone Abbey in County Kildare. In these cases, however, the hole is passed through the centre of the cross. A pillar stone at Castledermot in County Kildare contains a hole-stone incised through the engraved cross. A small hole also perforates the High Cross at Drumcliff. Many of these stones have been cut at an angle through the cross. It is thought that the perforation in the base of the Cooley Cross may have been a hole-stone in its own right. Recently it has been suggested that engaged couples joined hands through the hole in the cross as a good-luck gesture, but this speculation belongs to modern times.
The cross is 10 feet in height, and is without carving, but has a pierced ring and a hole, four inches in diameter, through the top. This hole is a curious feature. Dr. R.A.S. MacAlister thinks it may have contained a peg serving as a gnomon of a rudimentary sundial, the vertical shadow indicating the hour of noon. There is a cross with a similar hole in the graveyard at Mainistir Chiarain on the greater Aran Island where the vertical shadow line is mark. The base of Cooley cross is also peculiar. It is a large flat stone containing a rude representation of a human foot, traditionally ascribed to St. Patrick, and a perforation about four inches in diameter near one end, It may possibly have stood as a hole-stone itself before being used as a support for the cross.
Hole-stones dating back to pagan times are well known in different parts of Ireland, According to Bishop Montgomery, it is probable they were used for the making of vows. For example, couples about to marry joined hands through the hole; so any two persons would solemnly clinch an important bargain.
The modern graveyard site covers the former monastic grounds. The foundation was originally made by St Patrick before he crossed the Foyle and began his missionary work in Co Derry. On his way to Moville, he passed through Bredagh Glen about four kilometres away, which was an ancient tribal settlement and was ruled by Ailill. He also ordained the son of the chief called Aonghas. He carried out three ordinations in all and those who were ordained are sometimes referred to as the three Deacons. The name given to the monastery at Moville was Domhnach Bhile. The first part of the name fell into disuse and the second gave its name to the district and later to the parish and the town. The use of the word "Domhnach" in the name suggests that it was a foundation of importance to the followers of Patrick. The presence of the word "bile" in the name indicates that this was an important site of Druidic worship. A bridge across the river near the monastery was used by monks to get to Bredagh Glen and is said to be the oldest bridge in Ireland. One of the earliest abbots associated with the monastery is St. Finnian, who is still remembered today.
The Annals of the Four Masters make a number of references to this monastery. In 1098, Flaherty who was the son of Tighernach Bairrcach died while on pilgrimage. He is referred to as the successor of St. Finnian. A fierce battle took place near the monastery in 1167 and a chieftain who was described as a "pillar of magnificence of the north of Ireland" was slain. Two of his sons were killed the following day and another blinded. In the Early Middle Ages the monastery paid a tax of forty shillings and this information indicates this was | [

Brent Ridge is an American physician, business owner, and reality television participant. He was formerly the Vice President of Healthy Living for Martha Stewart Omnimedia.
Together with his partner Josh Kilmer-Purcell, Ridge bought in 2007 a 19th-century farm, Beekman Mansion, located in Sharon Springs, New York. The couple launched a business, Beekman 1802, selling products derived from produce raised on the farm.
In 2010, Ridge and Kilmer-Purcell became the stars of The Fabulous Beekman Boys, a reality television series on Planet Green that follows their lives as they work to develop the Beekman brand to the point where they can live at the farm full-time. In 2012, CBS announced that Ridge and Purcell had been cast in the 21st season of The Amazing Race, ultimately becoming the season's grand prize winners.
Early life
Ridge grew up in Randleman, NC. He graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a B.S in Public Health.
He was accepted into the University of North Carolina School of Medicine as part of the Early Acceptance Program. During medical school, he was awarded fellowships to study socialized medicine in England as well as a grant from the American Federation of Aging Research which enabled him to work on the New England Centenarian Project at Harvard University.
After medical school, he completed a residency in Internal Medicine at Columbia University and a fellowship in geriatric medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City.
Career
After completing his fellowship, he was offered the position of Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. He was responsible for clinical care as well as medical student education. He was also the Director of the hospital's ACE (Acute Care of the Elderly) inpatient unit.
In 2005, he matriculated at the New York University Stern School of Business and received an MBA.
He returned to Mount Sinai with the title of Director of Clinical Strategy.
He was responsible for working with the famed architect I. M. Pei to design a new center for the care of older adults at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Once the design was complete, he wrote Martha Stewart a letter while she was incarcerated asking her to consider becoming the benefactor of the new center. The Martha Stewart Center for Living was dedicated to Martha Stewart's mother, Martha Kostyra and is now one of the largest centers for the care of older adults in the world.
Martha Stewart subsequently wrote about his entrepreneurial drive in her book, The Martha Rules.
Later career
After opening the Center for Living, Ridge was asked to join Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia as the Vice President for Healthy Living, a new core area of the company devoted to health and wellness, working on developing healthy living initiatives across the companies media and merchandise divisions
In 2008, he was laid off from the company, but remains friends with Stewart who has appeared in several episodes of The Fabulous Beekman Boys.
In 2010, Epicurious.com named Ridge and his partner, Josh Kilmer-Purcell, among others as "The next Martha Stewarts".
In 2012, Josh and Ridge competed on Season 21 of CBS's The Amazing Race. The couple were considered underdogs for most of the season, finishing next to last in six out of the last seven legs before ultimately winning the final leg and the $1 million grand prize. The prize enabled Josh to quit his job in NYC and move to the farm with Ridge full-time.
Beekman 1802
After losing his job at MSO during the recession of 2008, Ridge moved to a weekend property he had purchased in Sharon Springs, NY, and launched Beekman 1802, a lifestyle company devoted to seasonal living.
The company produces a wide range of products in the beauty, gourmet foods, home décor and gardening areas. They have had business relationships with retailers such as Anthropologie, Henri Bendel, Williams Sonoma, John Derian, ABC Carpet, Home, and others.

Q: How to show the chapter number when cross-referencing enumerated items via `\cref' In my book, the exercise section is defined as follows:
\newlist{exercise}{enumerate}{5}
\setlist[exercise]{
label*=\thechapter.\arabic*.,
ref=\thechapter.\arabic*,
before={%
\section*{\hfil{Exercises -- \thechapter}}%
\markright{\S Exercises -- \thechapter}%
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Exercises -- \thechapter}%
\setlist*[enumerate,1]{ref=\theexercisei.~\arabic*}%
\setlist*[enumerate,2]{ref=\theenumi.(\alph*)}%
},
}
\setlist*[enumerate,2]{ref=\theenumi.(\alph*)}
When cross-referencing an item from the Exercise using \cref, taking a cue from the answer in this earlier question of mine, I added the following snippet to my code:
\crefname{exercisei}{exercise}{exercises}
\crefname{exerciseii}{exercise}{exercises}
\crefname{exerciseiii}{exercise}{exercises}
The output is half-baked. It produces "exercise 1.1 in page #" properly but it fails for lower-level items. There it shows the prefix string "item" for the subitem and subsubitem. How to fix the later parts? Please help.
Below is an MWE:
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{amsthm}
\usepackage{enumitem}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\usepackage{varioref}
\usepackage[colorlinks=true]{hyperref}
\usepackage{cleveref}
\newlist{exercise}{enumerate}{5}
\setlist[exercise]{
label*=\thechapter.\arabic*.,
ref=\thechapter.\arabic*,
before={%
\section*{\hfil{Exercises -- \thechapter}}%
\markright{\S Exercises -- \thechapter}%
\addcontentsline{toc}{section}{Exercises -- \thechapter}%
\setlist*[enumerate,1]{ref=\theexercisei.~\arabic*}%
\setlist*[enumerate,2]{ref=\theenumi.(\alph*)}%
},
}
\setlist*[enumerate,2]{ref=\theenumi.(\alph*)}
\crefname{exercisei}{exercise}{exercises}
\crefname{exerciseii}{exercise}{exercises}
\crefname{exerciseiii}{exercise}{exercises}
\begin{document}
\chapter{One}
\begin{exercise}
\item \label{1}

\item \label{1a}

\begin{enumerate}[label=(\roman*), font=\itshape, noitemsep, topsep=0pt]

\end{document}
A: As noted in an earlier comment, I think it's a poor idea to overwrite the default properties of the basic enumerate list environment -- unless you're absolutely sure that you will never, ever use enumerate environments elsewhere in your document.
I strongly recommend that you use the machinery of the enumitem package -- specifically, its \newlist and \setlist macros -- to define 3 levels (or more, if you wish) of a custom enumerate-like list environment. In the code below, I've chosen the name exlist for this new list environment; naturally, you're free to come up with a different name -- as long as it's not enumerate... The counters associated with level-1, level-2, and level-3 exlist lists are called exlisti, exlistii, and exlistiii. | [

Pulling UN a Big Mistake — OAS
Aug 10, 2022 | OAS, UN
Statement of the OAS General Secretariat on Haiti
Democracy and Security
The institutional crisis that Haiti is experiencing right now is a direct result of the actions taken by the country's endogenous forces and by the international community.
The last 20 years of the international community's presence in Haiti has amounted to one of the worst and clearest failures implemented and executed within the framework of any international cooperation.
Haiti Democracy Project in 2017: As published in the Inter-American Dialogue's Latin America Advisor
Resuming the OAS declaration:
This is not to blame the individuals who, with a vocation for service and altruism, worked as cooperators and made their best efforts—in some cases giving their lives—for Haiti. These persons deserve our greatest respect and remembrance.
Instead, this failure has to do with 20 years of erratic political strategy by an international community that was not capable of facilitating the construction of a single institution with the capacity to address the problems facing Haitians. After 20 years, not a single institution is stronger than it was before.
It was under this umbrella provided by the international community that the criminal gangs that today lay siege to the country fermented and germinated, even as the process of deinstitutionalization and political crisis that we see today grew and took shape.
Then, seeing its failure, the international community left Haiti, leaving chaos, destruction, and violence behind.
[Emphasis added. Our comment: It is well, truly, and fairly said. But it comes five years late. The OAS resumes:]
Right now, it is absurd to think that in this context of destruction, the Haitians—left completely alone, polarized, and with very few resources—would be able to rebuild or build the kind of security, deinstitutionalization, and development project that could enable its 12 million inhabitants to once again live in peaceful coexistence: Without resources, in a climate of violence, without technological capabilities, without financial accumulation, without any of that today, they want us to believe a completely endogenous Haitian solution could prosper. This is not so.
Without the basic conditions of democracy and security, the country today is suffering from the international community's lack of ideas and real capacity, as well as from its own structural problems. This is the international community that never knew if it should leave the MINUSTAH in place or remove it, an international community that thought that contributing money was the same as having ideas, an international community that thought that paying its own consultants would solve Haitians' problems. Obviously none of that was possible and none of this is possible.
Building democracy requires citizens, strong institutions that must be constantly strengthened, and a political system with the capacity for dialogue, as well as honesty. Essentially, it requires the branches of State government to be in place and with the independent capacity to act. It requires the exercise of and full respect for liberties and fundamental guarantees (and for the State to ensure it) in the framework of the fullest possible exercise of economic and social rights, along with an electoral process that is trustworthy, fair, and transparent.
The exercise of power in keeping with the rule of law and administrative and institutional efficiency in providing solutions to Haitians' problems are basic conditions for the functioning of the State that were never guaranteed by the international community in Haiti, that were never built by the international community in Haiti, and that Haiti fundamentally does not have. We should be clear that what we are facing is, more or less, a failed State and a weak and vulnerable society. The worst of all worlds: a weak State and a weak civil society.
This must be resolved by Haitians, there is no question about that. But the international community has a role to play.
Haitian society is very vulnerable and polarized. Its institutions are weak, its organizations are weak, and the path must be struck toward building them from zero, or even less than zero.
Without reducing polarization, without building capacities and bridges between Haitians, this will not be possible. Without dialogue, it is impossible.
Building Haitian democracy means encouraging capacity for dialogue, which includes building mutual trust among the various social and political actors in Haiti. Today, there is no system of checks and balances, neither politically nor socially. | [

On the contrary, violence is prevalent, as is the abuse of force internally, actions with criminal intent, failed institutions, and a lack of civil society capacity.
Bringing peace to the country demands an absolutely critical step: there must be justice for the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse. Without shedding light on the truth and without justice, no progress can ever be made towards reconciliation and harmony.
To begin to address these issues, the following processes must be built up:
• An institutionalized and inclusive process of dialogue that includes all the political forces that can possibly be brought together for it. Within that process, the international community can contribute resources and build bridges between the stakeholders to strengthen all of them and place them on a path towards building organizational and institutional capacities.
• A trustworthy, fair, transparent electoral process.
• An institutional security process for the country.
These processes require the cooperation of the international community, obviously in everything with regard to the necessary resources, whether financial, human, or material.
We would be fooling ourselves to think that any of this could be built without the support of the international community, that none of these processes are needed to ensure the country can find its way out of the crisis facing it and that still impacts the country's political and socioeconomic outlook. This will not be possible without the international community paying the bill. Not many members of the international community have the capacity to do so. Therefore, the responsibility for paying this bill falls to only a few who must not and cannot delay in taking up their responsibility, as time is running out for Haiti, with everything that is happening simply worsening the situation.
Obviously, we should expect internal Haitian forces to oppose these three processes, to oppose the institutionalized dialogue because that process can have the advantage of bringing political stability to the country, which would seriously impact a number of interests that today prevail in Haiti. Obviously, those forces will also oppose a trustworthy, fair, and transparent electoral process because the current ways and means of taking power have been completely different. There will also certainly be opposition to developing an institutional security process for the country with a strong commitment of the international community because doing so would dismantle the current situation in which violence perpetrated by armed gangs and organized crime predominates.
When we look at Haiti's current situation, we understand why there were internal forces—with external complicity—that wanted MINUSTAH withdrawn. Doing so simply paved the way for a situation like the one we have today.
[Emphasis added. Our commentary: Perfectly said, but needed five years ago before the damage was done. The OAS resumes:]
It is absolutely necessary to reverse the process of violence by implementing other institutional conditions and securing a different international commitment to bring the violence under control and disarm the armed gangs. It is crucial to reign in the territorial operations of organized criminal groups. But more of the human, financial, and material resources for this must come from the international community. Haiti does not have the prepared and trained human resources. It does not have the financial capacity, nor does it have the technical capacity to address the current security situation. Taking another path would therefore be a complete distortion of reality.
Similar capacities must be developed to implement a process of dialogue leading to a free and fair electoral process. We believe that the entire international community has a role to play, but it is crucial to concentrate all of the resources for these processes into a single institutionalized and centralized mechanism, not overlapping and ineffective volunteer efforts.
These processes are absolutely necessary, and it is crucial to launch them as soon as possible, with the dialogue process being the first one. It should be assumed that the other two processes will be based on the first, not on completely external extemporaneous decisions not aligned with what the country's social and political culture are capable of receiving and doing. However, it is obvious that Haiti does not have the resources and that the resources have to be provided to Haiti through an institutionalized process by the international community with a strong monitoring component and capacity to combat corruption to prevent the resources from being diverted and misused.
Bringing peace to the country demands an absolutely critical step: there must be justice for the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse. Without the truth being brough to light and without justice, no progress can ever be made towards reconciliation and harmony.
Based on the work done under these three processes, a new Constitution will have to be | [

Climate Change Spurring Frog Extinctions: Conservationists

GENEVA (AFP) — Three Central American frog species have gone extinct and many others may soon follow as their populations are ravaged by a fungus that is spreading faster because of climate change, conservationists said Thursday.
In an update to its "Red List" of threatened species, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) noted some positive developments, including for the European bison, but warned that the world is seeing a worrying number of extinctions.
"The growing list of extinct species is a stark reminder that conservation efforts must urgently expand," IUCN chief Bruno Oberle said in a statement.
Among the 31 species added to the "extinct" category in the latest Red List update was the often magnificently colorful Chiriqui harlequin frog — which is actually a toad — and two other frog species once found in Central America.
The Chiriqui harlequin used to be extremely abundant in Costa Rica and western Panama, but suddenly began disappearing in the late 1980s. No specimens have been seen since 1996.
Twenty-two other frog species found across Central and South America have meanwhile now been listed as "critically endangered" — just one step from becoming extinct.
The main driver of the drastic declines in these species is chytridiomycosis disease, caused by the deadly chytrid fungus.

'Enormous crisis'
"This is an invasive species which has impacted large numbers of frogs in different parts of the world," Craig Hilton-Taylor, who heads IUCN's Red List unit, told AFP.
"Climate change seems to be helping the spread of the fungus and creating the right conditions for the disease to flourish, and that then is wiping out the frog populations," he said, describing the situation for frogs and other amphibians as "an enormous crisis."
Kelsey Neam, who works on the Red List's amphibian section, told AFP most harlequin species were particularly vulnerable to the fungus, since they breathe through their skin, which has become weakened by increasing droughts.
"It attacks their skin so they can't breathe," she said.
Many other harlequin toads are listed as critically endangered and possibly extinct.
"There is a large possibility that others are gone," Neam said.
Among the other species that have ceased to exist are all 17 freshwater fish endemic to Lake Lanao in the Philippines — 15 of them were declared extinct while two were listed as critically endangered and possibly extinct.
This devastation, according to Hilton-Taylor, was mainly caused by two predatory fish species introduced accidentally to the lake half a century ago.
In addition, overfishing, pollution, deforestation and other factors have wrought "massive changes" for the lake's ecosystem.
"As a result, it has now finally tipped over," he said, decrying the large number of endemic species that "have just gone overnight."
Many more species are vulnerable or threatened.

A Problem For Workers And Residents Of Libby Montana (Movie Review Sample)
Using the movie, Libby, Montana, consider the following questions for your four to five page written response. You DO NOT have to limit yourself to these questions in developing your analysis.
What made mining for vermiculite a problem for workers and community residents of Libby, Montana?
The company knew that asbestos was causing lung disease in its workers and didn't share that information with them. What is your reaction to this? Do you think the company officials should be held criminally responsible?
Why would Montana agree to release Grace of any responsibility for cleaning up the site?
How has the asbestos problem in Libby divided the town? Why?
W.R. Grace and seven of its current or former executives had been indicted of federal charges that they knowingly put their workers and the public in danger through exposure to vermiculite ore contaminated with asbestos. They faced from five to 15 years in prison on each count and Grace was facing significant fines. They were cleared of all charges on a technicality.
Do you think the executives deserved to do time for their actions?
Do you think the company should have been fined?
What is your reaction to the jury's verdict?

From the movie Libby, Montana, mining for vermiculite was a problem for workers and residents of Libby Montana because they had to mine in rough terrain. Basically, mining of vermiculate was a problem because a worker could be killed in the mines. This occurred because they had to mine to remove asbestos from the underground rocks. This means it was a dangerous affair to mine because these rocks were difficult to maneuver. It was a time consuming affair and they spend a prolonged amount of time each day in the mines. The more they mined moving the rocks, the more risky it became as they dug deeper into the ground to reach the vermiculite. If the rocks are difficult to move or a mistake occurred, death could easily occur.
I am shocked and angry at the fact that the company, W. R. Grace knew that asbestos was causing lung disease to its workers but did not share this information. It angers me to know the cruelty of this company because they knew the dangers these workers were being exposed and they did not take any measures to protect them. It is immoral on all levels for the company to knowingly cause harm to its workers. I think that the company official should be held criminally responsible because what they did is negligence that caused harm to hundreds of workers and their families. Basically, what the company did was a breach of an obligation that makes them liable for their mistake. The fact that they knew that asbestos was a dangerous substance, they become compliance to a crime. From the movie, hundreds of residents are sickly and suffering from lung disease as a result of the exposure. Since the company knew the root of the problem, the officials of the company should be criminally responsible for their crimes. It is unfair for a party to knowingly allow another party to be harmed so as to profit from it.
Montana agreed to release Grace of any responsibility for cleaning up the site because they argued that the asbestos problem occurred back in the 1920s before Grace took over the mining in 1963. The company could not be held liable because asbestos was in the vicinity even before the company began its mining activities. Montana felt that the company did not knowingly cause harm to the workers

I hope so. I haven't seen any finalized renderings. Have any of you?
N830MH Feb 1, 2013 3:01 AM
Yes, probably sometime in late-May or June. Nobody who will tell you when.

We should know a little more in about a month, when the airport will be releasing their budget request for the 2013-2014 fiscal year (July 2013-June 2014). The current budget, that runs until the end of June this year, says this about the project:
Guided by the approved Airport Master Plan and various programming and preliminary schematic designs, the Airport, with its consultants and the Airline Representatives, is commencing construction of the Terminal Redevelopment Program (TRP).
The FY13 budget includes $24 million for Specialty Consultants to continue developing a plan of execution for the TRP. Step one of the TRP program begins with funding of $54 million for the Rental Car Quick Turn Around and Service Facilities.
Because of the age of the terminal buildings and the need to provide reliable, safe, and efficient terminal facilities, $6.7 million is included in the FY13 budget to continue the Concourse and Terminal Renovation-Phase 1. This includes funding for continuation of restroom renovations, TU1 pedestrian bridge floor modifications, replacement of carpet and fritz tile flooring throughout the terminals and concourses, and improvements to the smoking rooms to enhance the efficiency of the exhaust system.
http://www.slcairport.com/cmsdocumen...book_final.pdf
I'm not sure we'll see much of what we're hoping for this year, including more detailed plans. It looks to me like other than some light remodeling and possibly the moving of utilities and car rental facilities, most of what will go on this year is behind the scenes work (including finalizing the plans).
The Airport Board has hardly mentioned the project in their minutes: http://www.slcairport.com/agendas-min.asp. And this memorandum (http://www.slccouncil.com/agendas/20...061912A4F1.pdf) from the SLC Council doesn't have the city issuing bonds for the project until June 2014, when it says work on moving the car rental facilities will begin.

The SLC airport has created a new website dedicated solely to the new terminal development. The airport is also asking people to provide feedback as the terminal is designed. This is your best chance to give your two cents and also a site you can learn more about the new SLC terminal project.

Does anyone know what terminal and gate at SLC Alaska Airlines will use? I have looked on their website and could not find any information concerning SLC airport info for Alaska Airlines. I am flying them in less than a month and I can't find any info on them at the SLC airport! Thanks.

Hmm, I was thinking they would be in terminal 2, with Delta..? I know the two airlines are close and I know that Alaska uses Delta terminal's and gates' at Atlanta and Minneapolis so I was wondering if they would operate similar at SLC. Anyways, if anyone knows, please share. Mahalo.
skyguy414 Mar 14, 2013 6:00 PM
They will be in terminal 2 and have a check in area by the delta counter. Their flights will depart from C concourse | [

. They are partners with Delta and American but they are relying on more Delta passengers from the SLC hub to contribute to their business. You'll also see a lot of Alaska customers connecting in SLC to and from Delta flights.

In that case, forget what I said. :)

Just thought I'd give some progress info on the airport and put a perspective of how important the airport is to the local economy...
The terminal redevelopment program is still in progress and unlike years previous, is now full steam. Meaning, the new terminal is going to be built. While it will take a few years to see a major difference, it is happening. The airport recently instituted a website for the public's input on what people want to see with the new terminal. I encourage you to give your input. Visit http://myairportslc.com/ to view updates and provide your two cents.
The airport has recently contracted with law firms and architecture and engineeering firms to complete the blueprints for the new terminal.
Based on an independent firm's recent analysis, they provided the following details regarding the state of what our airport provides to the local economy:
The new terminal project is estimated to provide nearly 2,000 jobs during construction and over 37,000 jobs over a 12 year period with a $3.6 billion economic impact to the local economy.
The airport receives a wealth of both business and tourist travelers. Currently, tourists contribute overall more to the economy but business travelers contribute more per person. The total impact of both tourist and business visitors to SLC airport will contribute more than 200,000 jobs in the local area over the next seven years and nearly $12 billion in payroll and GDP locally.
In summary, the SLC airport contributes an enormous amount to our economy. The expansion and redevelopment of the terminal will only increase this. It should be noted Delta and other airlines are on board with the redevelopment and have extended their commitment. Delta in particular, which is the largest tenant and operates a large hub at the airport sits on the board which oversees the redevelopment program.
New destinations being added soon:
US Airways: nonstop to Philadelphia in June
Delta: nonstop to Madison, WI in June
Again, visit http://myairportslc.com/ to give your input on the new terminal.

Thanks for all the info on SLC skyguy!
I'm hearing that Alaska Air might add a SLC-PDX flight. Their new service between SLC and SEA has been extremely successful.

S.L. draws up airport plans - Renovation will begin next spring and be finished by 2024
By Annie Knox - Associated Press

Mountain views, faster takeoffs and workout equipment are a few things Salt Lake City officials are considering as they draw up plans for a nearly $2 billion remake of the city's airport. Scott G Winterton, Deseret News

SALT LAKE CITY — Mountain views, faster takeoffs and workout equipment are a few things Salt Lake City officials are considering as they draw up plans for a nearly $2 billion remake of the city's airport.
The bulk of the budget for construction comes from fees airlines pay to use the facility and from passengers buying tickets, among a few other sources. Federal grants make up about 11 percent of the bankroll.
Some wings of the airport are about 50 years old. Others date back over 30 years. That means a new facility is overdue, said Salt Lake City International Airport spokeswoman Barbara Gann.
"Airport years are longer" than human ones she said, due to changing technology and increases in traffic. The original facility was designed to shepherd about 12 million travelers each year, roughly half as many as it does now...

Minneapolis • Delta Air Lines said Tuesday that it will drop its money-losing hub in Memphis, Tenn., this fall, slashing flights there and eliminating 230 jobs.
The cuts begin Sept. 3, right after Labor Day weekend and the end of the busy summer travel season...

It's hard to say for sure. Memphis is/was surely a redundant hub in the Delta system.
I could see more service to the south central part of the US from SLC. Delta has recently added more service from SLC to Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio. I wouldn't be surprised to see the nonstop to Little Rock come back (it ended around 2008 or 2009 but did relatively well). Otherwise, I don't predict a whole lot of change locally as a result of the Memphis hub closing.
On a side note...the airport is having regular meetings now with the achitecture firm assigned to design the new terminal (HOK), and airport tenants (with Delta on the designing board). Minor changes are made at each meeting. The airport is getting busier for the summer season. The SLC-Paris route was upgraded to an Airbus 330 for the summer months adding more seats and a better performing and larger aircraft than previous summers. The US Airways SLC to Philadelphia route started yesterday and flights so far have been full.
Our airport is oftenly the first and last impression we leave upon visitors to our city and even the only impression (millions of passengers fly through SLC every year just to connect flights. We can easily persuade a lot of these people to come visit longer). I will say, there are so many passengers who awe at the scenery just seen from the windows in the concourses and the intrigue the area gives. Again, I encourage everyone to submit your feedback on what you want to see in the new terminal at www.myairportslc.com.

My father was initially employed by Western Airlines in 1986, later bought out by Delta, as we all know, in 1987. He retired after 20 years. Being a son of flight benefits, I remember Delta always having three major hubs; Atlanta, Cincinnati, and SLC.
Now, Delta has major hubs overseas and across the eastern seaboard. With the loss of Memphis as a major hub, that leaves SLC as the only major hub in North America west of the Mississippi to the world's largest airline.
My question is this: SLC International has no where to go but up... Right?
Additional flights, connections both international and domestic?
I'd hate to see SLC Airport turn into Memphis (which is THE hub for FedEx).

No, I don't see SLC losing Delta as a hub.
Delta in SLC has a lot going for it:
- It is geographically located in a good location for connecting flights with no other hubs nearby (unlike Memphis).
- Costs are very low to the airline to operate here.
- There is a strong presence of originating/destination passengers to compliment the connecting passengers here and the O/D numbers are growing.
- Strong and growing local economy.
- Long standing support from the community and a strong premium customer base.
- Dedicated and long serving employees with better customer service than the rest of Delta's network (SLC is award | [

Q: Need help pulling in object value as jQuery selector I'm pretty new to OOP concepts in general, and I'm trying to build this mini-application for a client. The idea is that it's supposed to have configurable options based on the Module number, etc. I've cut out some code to keep relevant stuff. I'm trying to make this as customizable as possible, in particular--allowing the coder to support multiple Lightbox-style popups by adding them to the options array below.
Everything has worked great until this--my issue is that I'm trying to bind each object in the options.popups array with jQuery, by feeding selector as a string in through the config, directly into a $() selector.
This works fine for binding click() to the opener, but the selector property just won't bind. Every time, I get this error: TypeError: self.options.popups[i] is undefined. If I directly insert the selector, e.g. $(".helpPopup").show();, it works fine. If I define it in a variable within the click() function directly above it, it works. e.g. var s = ".helpPopup";
Is there some obvious thing that I'm missing here? This is driving me nuts. Also, my code's design pattern is directly based off of this: https://github.com/shichuan/javascript-patterns/blob/master/jquery-plugin-patterns/prototypal-inheritance.html
Thanks!
var MODULE = {
init: function(options, elem) {
// Stuff here
this.bindPopups();
},
options: {
title: "Module title",
pages: 1,
currentPage: 1,
windowOpener: ".popupVar",
popups: [
{
name: "help",
selector: ".helpPopup",
opener: ".button.open",
closer: ".button.close",
type: 3
}
]
},
bindPopups: function() {
var self = this;
for(i = 0; i < this.options.popups.length; i++) {
// Open the popup
$(self.options.popups[i].opener).click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(self.options.popups[i].selector).show();
});
// Close the popup
$(self.options.popups[i].closer).click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$(self.options.popups[i].selector).hide();
});
}
}
};
// If browser doesn't support Object.create
if(typeof Object.create !== "function") {
Object.create = function(o) {
function F() {
F.prototype = o;
return new F();
}
};
}
// Create plugin
$.plugin = function(name, object) {
$.fn[name] = function(options) {
return this.each(function() {
if(!$.data(this, name)) {
$.data(this, name, Object.create(object).init(options, this));
}
});
};
};
$.plugin("module", MODULE);

A: For some reason, your i is incrementing inside your click function. To verify, put one console.log(i); right before the click event functions, and one inside the open click function.
I don't know why it's doing this (I don't see any | [

The pitched rhythms and implied melodies of the Hapi drums grant access to worlds within worlds.
Dive deep into these sound experiments of quantum entanglement encoded with vital life energy at the moment of their creation.
Faxl gathered to play and celebrate E.J. Gold's 73rd birthday, hence the title of the CD. The band played great renditions of some of their songs along with their natural flow of improv creations.
At last! A proven method for raising yourself from the dead, just like I did, by playing a CD in the privacy of your own home. In only minutes a day, you can get fast, fast relief.
It takes you on the one of the most astonishing journeys you will encounter in this time / space. With the powerfully calm voice of Alan Power encouraging you, inhale and enter each chamber until the presence of the Great Mother is both perceived and understood. "In this room everything passes away in the dissolving radiation's of grace."
E.J. was sitting at the dining room table eating a crepe for his Sunday morning breakfast. Jimmi Accardi had just walked in from the recording studio with tape in hand as he sat down at the table to get his food. The tape I Can Free You was put on, ready to play. E.J. Began telling those sitting around the long maple table the story of the recording of this album. An invocational recording session at RCA in 1972 with E.J. Gold on the Yamaha 2000 organ.
This music belongs to the tradition of objective art which includes music, art, and architecture. Objective art is invocational of higher dimensions and has the inherent ability to inspire awe at the vision of the Void. When experienced in the form of music it can have a variety of effects. Objective music opens one to other spaces and takes one there. It can stir, rouse, and enliven, or make one perfectly still and centered. Sooner or later it will take you to a space your deepest self knows as home and in that sense it is profoundly shamanic.
A persistent climb upward to the higher dimensions. Powerful, freely-moving musical pieces guide the active listener through a series of soundscapes and hidden rooms.
Sculptural sounds create hermetic chambers for you. They will bring you from your ordinary space through specific transformational zones to arrive at doorways of new understanding. Relax, shed your everyday concerns, find a comfortable posture, put on the CD, and let the music do its work.
No more bones and rattles! The Hi-Tech shaman uses the tools of modern stock and trade. But some things never change. Still there is the age-old custom of drummers forming a circle around the Shaman as he takes on visions. Moods, thoughts and postures rearrange themselves to provide for shamanic form-changes. All is focused on the one thing, whether it be felt, heard or spoken. It is not of this world but that brings no loss. This round is complete. The circle spirals like a smoke ring to other worlds, 'way beyond the veil', far beyond the beyond, in what can truly and only be appreciated as Shaman ritual.
E.J. Gold, the author of this humorous approach to death and dying, reads the entire book Lazy Man's Guide to Death & Dying. This 4 CD set provides hours of healing through laughter.
If being had a voice what would it sound like? Older than recorded history, the pure tonality of the flute seems consistently to tickle, cajole and elevate the spirit, momentarily lifting the veil and turning it inside out.
An appropriate album title for the mood and spaces evoked while listening to E.J. Gold playing original compositions on sax.
Om Ma Ni Pad Me Hum... "Right now we're going to do a little chanting and as I do the chanting I want you to go with me into a different space; a space in which each of the syllables of the chant is a rejecter of rebirth in the lower worlds so you're going to remain in the space of chanting.
Like fabric that runs through Life, Death and all that lies between, the Zen Flute threads its way through a variety of parallel musical landscapes weaving an intimation of Sanctuary and the feeling of one's true home. Recommended for use with the Beacon and Zone Box. Recorded live without overdubs using a Neumann mic.

How many emails are in your Inbox? 10? 100? 1000? Do I hear 10,000?
It's no wonder things get lost in there– party invitations, meeting times, family photos, notes from friends. It happens.
But it doesn't have to anymore. Really.
Long gone are the days when my email account had a 6MB limit that forced me to address all messages quickly and delete them so there was room for more. Now, I have unlimited storage and I can keep them all forever… Yay?!?
But not in my inbox. They arrive. They generate a plan. They exit.
You don't believe me? The screenshot of my inbox is at the top of this page.
Sure, you say. Nice try. We all have a separate email account for spam. I could have just emptied it and still have an overflowing inbox in my real email. This is actually my true business account, but I do have a separate one for friends and family.
Here you go. Yes, it's Yahoo. Don't judge.
For the past few months, this has been at zero too.
And all my accounts are linked on my phone.
Merlin Mann coined the term Inbox Zero with a specific process for dealing with emails, but to me this just seemed like having multiple inboxes so I tweaked it a bit.
The process took a while to fine-tune, but now it's actually quicker and easier to keep my inbox at zero than to let it build up. And much less stressful.
I don't have to look at a huge hot mess of guilt and procrastination every time I log in anymore. Nothing gets lost or buried. It's amazing and liberating and can work for you too!
Instead, put them in a folder called Old Inbox, Shoved In the Back of the Closet, In Denial, or something else accurately descriptive.
Now you can tackle the new arrivals.
Step 2: Unsubscribe and Delete.
Different email services have different settings, and your inbox might look different on your phone than it does on your laptop. Try to make your initial review every day in a way that lets you see the first line of content without having to open the email. This will save you time and clicks.
When you see a new email that is clearly spam, delete it. Don't even open it first.
If you keep getting spam from the same sender, block the address.
If you get an email from Groupon or your favorite store or service that you actually subscribed to but don't want to see every day, open it and click the link to unsubscribe, then delete the email. This shouldn't delete your account, but it will halt your inbox clutter. If you want to check out sales or specials or try to find the end of the internet when you have time to kill, you can always go directly to their website.
You'll be amazed at the amount of time this will save, and you'll be even more amazed at the money you'll save. It's all essentially advertising, and advertising works!
So stop impulse buying things you don't really want or need by removing the advertising triggers and banishing their emails. Finding out about a 30% off sale or BOGO deal isn't helpful if you don't need what they're offering. When you need something, make a shopping list and stick to it. See my special offer at the end of the post for more decluttering tips.
When you see an email with an invitation or a request you can address in less than five minutes, just do it.
I keep my Google calendar permanently pinned to a browser tab right next to my email tab, so it's simple to check my schedule.
If you're invited to an event that excites you and you're free on that day and time, then commit. Send a quick Yes RSVP and put the necessary details on your calendar.
File the message in a Short-Term Save folder that you can reference if needed. You can empty this folder periodically or just let obsolete messages accumulate there indefinitely. At least they're no longer stealing your attention by hanging out in your inbox.
Archiving messages without filing them first is another option that's easier initially but can be harder to search.
If you receive an invitation that does not excite you and you aren't obligated to attend, then RSVP No and archive or file the message. Life | [

When the first explosion shook the ground, Misha was so confused he stilled by his desk. Trapped in a room that locked from outside and had no windows, there was no way for him to know what was happening. He took a deep breath and pushed on the desk to roll his office chair to the door. A part of him was afraid he'd wake up Gary and make him furious, but when another explosion made the walls around him tremble, he hit the door with his fist. If that hadn't woken Gary up, nothing could.
"Gary? Is this an earthquake? Can I stay with you in the living room?" he yelled, but there was no answer.
Misha's heartbeat sped up when he heard what sounded like firecrackers exploding far away. Whatever the commotion was, maybe it would mean he'd get to leave Gary's apartment. But how could he make a run for it if he didn't even know what lay past the electronically locked door to Gary's apartment? Misha was adept at using the wheelchair. He was fit and good at moving around despite his legs ending in stumps just below the knees. The lack of windows in the whole apartment suggested that it was located underground. He could easily use an elevator, and technically was capable of climbing the stairs, but if he wanted to move farther than that, he'd have to pull the wheelchair behind him every step of the way upstairs.
As his brain thought of ways to escape, conjuring visions of a new, better life that was actually worth living, the sound of firecrackers, which now seemed all too similar to gunshots, erupted again. He slid off the chair and pulled a blanket off his bed, which proved harder than he thought with his fingers stiff and trembling. Moving like an automaton, he rushed under the desk, pushing at the wood, as if it could somehow absorb him if he wanted it badly enough. It didn't matter that he was twenty-two. In that moment, he was a little boy again, and nothing could possibly save him from the liquor-infused monsters falling over in the corridor.
Misha covered himself with the blanket and tried not to breathe, allowing as little air as possible into his lungs. He wanted to be invisible, melt into the furniture, and disappear out of the monster's reach. He'd rather have Gary come in, laugh at him, and tell him he was silly for getting scared of some fireworks than risk a possibility that he was up against real danger.
His body trembled at the sound of a loud thud, followed by clatter, and yes, this time it was definitely gunshots. Misha cowered, curling up to seem as small as possible while the pulsing in his neck counted split seconds. There was a round of rapid fire, which suddenly came to a halt, leaving behind an eerie silence.
Misha listened, and while there were still sounds of explosives and gunfire somewhere in the background, he was certain he heard movement behind the door of the tiny space that had become his whole world. Each hair on his body stood up in anticipation of noise.
He squeezed his fingers into fists, unable to think of what he could use as a weapon. His room was the image of what most people believed teenager caves looked like. It contained posters of Russian bands, plastic trophies for swimming—which was especially pathetic since Misha didn't even know how to swim—a desk, a computer without Internet access, and several books, but not a sharp object in sight or even a broom he could break and use for stabbing. What if Gary got shot and couldn't protect him anymore? What if someone else took him? What if that person wanted to … hurt him again? Gary was far from a perfect man, but with him, Misha at least knew where he stood.
His heart stopped when the door handle moved. Someone was coming for him. Someone broke in here and would soon find Misha defenseless. If only he had a glass that wasn't plastic, he'd cut his wrists before the monster could get to him, but in this situation, the best he could do was to repeatedly smash his head against the floor and dread the worst. The clang of the lock was like a punch in the gut, and Misha stared through the tiny gap in the blanket, breathless as the door slowly opened. The | [

first thing he saw was heavy combat boots, which thudded against the floor as a man dressed in black walked in with a gun in his hand.
Seconds stretched into an eternity as the man took step after step inside the small room, but then he abruptly stopped and inhaled a big gulp of air.
"I smell fear," he whispered, sounding happy about his discovery.
The man was tense, focused, but his face was a monstrosity that made Misha think it was Death himself coming for him. Only after a few moments did he realize the man was wearing a mask, which made his head look like a bare skull, with a pair of thin, well-cut lips visible through an opening that also revealed the man's smooth chin.
The large, hollow eyes of the skull seemed to absorb light, and the inability to predict what the man was looking at was making Misha want to crawl inside his own body. But the man's powerful muscles went lax, and he lowered his gun.
Misha's lips trembled, and he had to bite them to stop his teeth from clattering. Despite all the horrors that he'd been subjected to, he didn't want to die. Maybe one day he would become useful enough to Gary, and Misha's world could expand beyond this room. If only he could stop breathing, the blanket would hide his presence. The room was dark without the extra lamp Gary brought in for shoots, so there was a chance the assailant would leave without noticing him.
But just as he thought that, those big black holes of eyes turned toward him, and the man slowly sank to his knee. Every hair on Misha's body bristled. After an agonizing silence, the man finally spoke.
"Hey there, little bird," he said, and his voice sounded like the richest, smoothest chocolate, not what Misha expected to come from someone who hid his face behind a mask.
There was nowhere to run, but Misha still pulled the blanket tighter around him and pushed against the corner under the desk as if it could somehow turn into a portal to another dimension and swallow him whole. He didn't like strangers. They only ever brought pain and misery with them, and this unannounced guest, who came here with a firearm, seemed like the embodiment of Misha's nightmares. "Please don't take me," Misha whispered, unable to blink. "I'm fine here, just ask Gary."
The man crooked his head, and his shapely lips moved, pale against the matte black of his outfit. "Who's Gary?"
"My b-b-b-boyfriend." And there it was. Misha's teeth clattered. He pushed against the wooden desk when the man shifted closer, and now, in the light coming from the desktop lamp, Misha could see that black mesh covered the eyeholes of the mask.
"Was he the one to lock you up from outside?"
Misha bit his lips again until he drew blood. Only now, it occurred to him. What if this was a test of loyalty? What if Gary considered giving him more freedom but needed to make sure Misha wouldn't betray him once his leash was loosened?
"I …" Misha licked his lips. His breathing became erratic, and he started wheezing in panic.
The man put the gun into a holster underneath his arm and reached out a hand in a leather glove. "Come out. I won't hurt you."
Misha didn't grab the hand, but he slowly pulled the blanket off his head, knowing he wouldn't have a choice in the matter anyway. "Does Gary know you're here?" he whimpered, his mind spiraling into a million directions. In Misha's experience, a mask meant the man was here to do horrible things in front of Gary's camera without being recognized. Misha wouldn't even know his name. "Please just tell him I don't want to go." This shitty, somewhat damp room was a long way from heaven, but who knew what hell would await Misha outside? He'd rather stay than risk any more pain.
The man shifted closer, and his chest fell with a loud exhale. "Andrey? Is that really you?"
This was bad. The man knew Misha's porn | [

name. He was close enough for the upper half of his body to duck under the desk, and Misha could smell his sweat, entangled with a rich cologne that was already twisting around Misha's throat, about to choke him. "Yes. Who are you? Did Gary send you here? Did you pay him?"
The masked man growled, and for a brief moment, his accent slipped into deeper, somewhat twangy tones. "I know no Gary." He took a deep breath, and his Adam's apple bobbed. "I knew I recognized this room from somewhere, but weren't you supposed to be in Russia? What is this?"
Misha watched the man's every move. His life or death could depend on assessing this situation correctly. "It's made up. To avoid stalkers … Who are you?" Now that he thought about it, Misha realized he hadn't met any new people within the last two years. It was always only him and Gary, and sometimes some of Gary's friends or the on-call beautician who took care of Misha's body hair and nails. And without anyone to introduce this man, Misha had no idea how to act.
The masked man reached out all the way to Misha's face. His leather-encased fingers smelled of gunpowder, which only made Misha more rigid as the soft, smooth glove touched his skin. "You're so pretty in real life."
"Are you here to kill me?" Misha blurted out, unable to keep that question inside him anymore. The man had burst in with a gun and looked like a modern version of the Grim Reaper, so it would only make sense. He could be making sure he had the right person before he put a deadly piece of lead inside Misha's skull.
"No. I'd never do that. Promise," said the masked man and held up his hand with his pinky extended.
Misha knew not to trust promises, but it was always worth acknowledging one. In a surreal moment, he hooked his pinky with the man in a skull mask. "Thank you."
"Will you come out now?" asked the man, gently pulling on Misha's hand.
"Okay, but we have to find Gary … I can't go anywhere without his consent." Misha looked away from the man's face and crawled out from underneath the blanket. He wore his ridiculously long hair down, because Gary liked it that way, but in these circumstances, he pulled a hair band out of the pocket of his shorts and gathered the long strands back into a loose bun. He couldn't help but think that if this man knew his porn name, he'd seen him in circumstances much worse than this. He needed to calm down and retain some dignity.
He raised his head, but the question he intended to ask died on his lips when he noticed the stranger staring straight at the ugly stumps once they emerged from underneath the blanket. In a horrifying moment, the man's leather-encased hand moved to cup one of them. Misha clenched his teeth so hard his jaw ached, and he went still. He only moved his eyes and let them glance at the stranger's crotch and the large bulge in his pants. Of course, the man would be an amputation fetishist if he knew Misha's porn persona. They called themselves "devotees," but in Misha's experience, the only thing they were devoted to were the stumps, not the amputee himself. Misha didn't feel comfortable around those men, and each unwelcome touch sent him deeper into his own mind.
The large hand massaged the stump, squeezing it gently, as if it were a pert buttock. This was wrong, and four years of taking it with a fake smile couldn't teach Misha otherwise.
"You will be safe with me," said the man, pulling Misha toward him with surprising strength.
Misha's eyes went wide when he was forced up close to the skull printed on the mask the stranger wore over his face, but it was getting a faint glimpse of the man's eyes behind the mesh that freaked him out. He wouldn't be safe anywhere, just like he hadn't been safe here. Just because the man's body was sturdy, as if made out of brick, didn't make him | [

less flesh and bone, less vulnerable to a bullet or a chainsaw.
"What's your name?" Misha gasped and grabbed on to the man's neck when he was picked up as if he weighed nothing.
There was a deep growl somewhere in the depths of the man's throat, but he finally looked straight at Misha and squeezed his hand on the flesh of his thigh. "I'm Grim. And I'm a fan," he said, carrying Misha out of the room where he had spent the greater part of the last two years.
Even though Grim's touch was gentle, the lust hiding behind it made Misha nauseated. A fan? Was Grim a crazy stalker abducting him just so he could have Misha to himself? Where would he take him? What would he do to him?
Misha slid his hand down to Grim's chest, and the man's heart was thudding just as hard as Misha's. "You … watch a lot of my vids?" he uttered, desperate for any scrap of information.
The masked man nodded, completely ignoring the sounds of gunfire somewhere in the background as he entered Gary's living room. "I watch them all the time. I was the one to send you the new Xbox to the PO Box. Did you get it?" he asked quickly, rocking Misha in his arms.
Misha's lips parted, and he couldn't believe his ears. Not to mention they felt hot as hellfire. He'd never actually met any of his subscribers. "I … I did actually. And the games. Thank you," he added quickly, afraid to offend the man. "Did you … break in here?" Misha looked around the living room when they walked out into the bright light of white lamps. The TV was knocked over and lay facedown on the floor, and a broken glass vase was scattered over the rug like sesame seeds on bread.
"Yes," said Grim. "I'm sorry I scared you, but you were the last person I expected to find."
Misha looked toward the black granite and steel of the modern kitchen, and Gary's absence was putting him further on edge by the second. Gary was the only person standing between Misha, and … those other people.
"Who were you looking for?"
Grim was silent for a few moments as he approached the door, which was strangely crooked and covered with soot. "The wolves who run this place."
Misha was about to say he didn't know where they were exactly, but when Grim reached the door, Misha swiped his gaze over the room one last time and spotted a familiar shape behind the black leather sofa where Gary had fucked him just last week.
Gary's fingers were twitching on the floor, and Misha screamed out in horror as his eyes met the bloodied face. This couldn't be happening. Grim sure as fuck was no policeman, so he was here to take all the assets. Misha pushed his hand into Grim's face and kicked his stomach with the stump, trying to get out of the steel grip. His brain was in a frenzy.
"Gary! Please, don't let them take me! You promised! You promised I would only be yours!"
Grim tried to keep him still, but as Misha continued to struggle, the floor finally got closer. Grim released him, and Gary's body lying on the smooth floor became the sole focus of Misha's existence. On his hands and knees, he moved forward, hardly even remembering to avoid the glass scattered all over the living room.
Grim's voice came like out of a different dimension. "He's dead. Don't bother."
"No!" Misha whined, but once he got up close to the gunshot wounds, the blood, and the smell of piss, he didn't have any hope left. Even the twitching he earlier noticed might have been an illusion he clung to, because Gary's still-warm body was motionless. His eyes were wide, blood no longer trickling from a hole in the middle of his forehead, his mouth was open, and his tongue lay slack in the corner of his mouth. Misha had lost his lifeline.
He shuddered, staring at the red stains gluing Gary' | [

Waterway Access Bill would get Charlie Stek — and you — safely to the water
By Emily Myron
Bridge-side access can be as simple as this pull-off on MD 355 for the Monocacy River water trail in Western Maryland.
Charlie Stek wanted his son to experience nature, fishing and paddling rivers. With Maryland's 10,000 miles of rivers and streams — crossed by 5,176 bridges — that ought to be easy.
Yet there was no safe way to get to the water.
To fish the Patuxent, Stek and his son Alex had to park on blind curves, jump guardrails and scamper down banks.
"We had this incredible asset right down the road that kids, families and people in the neighborhood didn't have safe access to," Stek says.
In later years, Stek paddled across the state on rivers. Paddling "opened my eyes to a world I didn't know was out there," he says.
Now he's working to help Marylanders get to the water.
Chairman of the Chesapeake Conservancy and a former top aide to retired Sen. Paul Sarbanes, Stek has been an advocate for public access throughout his career. He developed or pushed efforts including the Chesapeake Bay Gateways Network, the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail and the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail to better connect citizens to our waters and lands.
Bridges, he found through his work, are the easiest way down to the water, but few have safe places to park — not even a shoulder.
There ought to be a law, he decided, to make bridges safe, easy stops for kayakers, canoeists and anglers on their way to the waters flowing by.
With better planning, simple low-cost measures, such as creating safe shoulder pull-offs and breaks in guardrails, can be built in to improve safety and access at bridges, Stek says.
Del. Maggie McIntosh, a Baltimore Democrat who chairs the House Environmental Matters Committee, took up the cause. This year, she introduced a bill to make bridge crossings safe water access sites. Future bridge construction and reconstruction projects would integrate water access into their plans "where reasonable and feasible."
"The heart of Maryland — its industry, its agriculture, its history —and the heart of so much of the legislation that passes through this Committee is the Chesapeake Bay and the waterways of our State," said McIntosh. "It is time to also ensure that the citizens of Maryland enjoy these magnificent resources."
The Waterway Access Bill has lots of support: conservationists, paddlers, anglers, citizens, recreation and heritage tourism groups and local governments.
As it should.
"Improved access for canoeing, kayaking and fishing will contribute to the quality of life of all Marylanders," McIntosh says, "and encourage them to participate actively in the protection and conservation of the Chesapeake.
"Additionally, improving access to the Bay will make the areas around Maryland's many waterways even more attractive to visitors."
Not everybody agrees. Calvert Del. Anthony O'Donnell, also a member of Environmental Matters, complained at a recent hearing that scarce highway dollars shouldn't be spent on recreation.
The other side of the scarce-dollar argument is that money spent on recreation brings in new money. Outdoor recreation in Maryland generates $9.5 billion in consumer spending, 85,000 jobs and $686 million in state and local tax revenue.
The number of paddlers across the country grows by over a million people each year.
"This bill can help Maryland meet that increasing demand," says Wade Blackwood, executive director of the American Canoe Association. "Maryland has the opportunity to become a national leader by setting an example of the connection between access points and drivers for the economy."
Nearby communities also benefit as recreational opportunities make them desirable places to live.
Accommodations like this make sense in the bigger picture of making highways work for people as well as cars. Pedestrians got sidewalks; bicyclists got lanes; anglers and paddlers get access. It's part of America's march of history.
Charlie Stek's son can already get to the river. At St. Mary's College, where he's a senior, the land slopes right to the water. The rest of us | [

Europe Agrees on New Rules for Competition in Tech—What Will Change?
Livia West
The new rules known as the Digital Markets Act, set out a list of Dos and Don'ts for Big Tech, but how these new rules will apply to any one company in any one area in any one country is still largely uncharted and will be determined to a large extent by narratives and policy choices. Here is what we know and what we don't know.
The rules aim to designate Big Tech companies as gatekeepers controlling access to certain core services, and then pry open those core services for new entrants as well as force more fair treatment of consumers and business users.
Underpinning the new rules is the belief that creating more opportunities for competition will spur innovation of better digital tech to everyone's benefit. However, that belief is tempered by a desire for balance and proportionality. The new rules therefore strive to avoid any unintended negative consequences of prying Big Tech's beloved current products and services open. To this end, many of the sweeping Dos and Don'ts have narrowly phrased exceptions which allow Big Tech to take necessary measures to protect system integrity, or security and privacy.
The most important changes fall into these four areas:
Dissection and gratuitous use of distribution platforms
User-generated data
Self-preferencing
Interoperable messaging systems.
The most radical changes will potentially arise from the dissection and opening of the valuable distribution platforms built by Big Tech.
On top of granting consumers easy ways to un-install apps and change default settings, the once seamless and elegantly designed distribution platforms will be chopped up into separate and interoperable segments that users can mix and match. These segments include a choice of downloading apps from outside a platform's curated app store, downloading entire alternative app stores and using alternative payment systems for in-app purchases. Similarly, for services that steer users to a platform's own products and services, such as online search engines, virtual assistants or web browsers, consumers will be prompted to choose from a drop-down list of the main available providers.
Business users, such as app developers, will have access to these distribution platforms that facilitate sales and promotions to their users without having to pay any fee to the platform for this access. They will notably also have the right to interoperate free of charge with hardware or software features of a platform's operating system or virtual assistant. Big Tech will also have to publish general conditions of access stamped as fair by the European Commission for app stores, search engines and social media networks.
In this sphere, the new rules include narrowly phrased exceptions which allow Big Tech to take necessary measures to protect system integrity, or security and privacy. However, in the case of downloading apps from outside a platform's app store or downloading entire alternative app stores, these measures can only be taken by Big Tech at the choice of the user.
For consumers, changes include a ban on having their personal data combined by Big Tech from different sources without meaningful consent, as well as for each user, a right to access real-time disaggregated data generated by that user without any additional charge. That right will also include free of charge portability of that data to another provider through tools provided by Big Tech. Presumably, this will allow for development of new ways that users could employ to trade and monetize the data they generate by using Big Tech.
For business users, changes bring a halt to Big Tech using data generated by these businesses to better compete with them and a right for advertisers to receive granular data about ads without any additional charge.
Important new rules on access to data generated by connecting various smart products to the Internet will come from another regulation known as the Data Act, currently being negotiated in Europe's legislative decision-making process.
Big Tech will no longer be able to treat more favorably its own products or services in ranking, and related indexing and crawling activities.
Interoperable messaging services
The basic functionalities of number-independent messaging services will become interoperable, without additional charge to those requesting interoperability, over a phased period mandating milestones immediately, two years out and four years out from the date of a company's gatekeeper designation. Given the sensitivity of sharing interfaces, which are likely protected intellectual property, with direct competitors, here too there is an exception allowing Big Tech to protect security and privacy.

In Defense of Lusty Movie Reviews
We trust that other physical responses, like tears and nausea, are trying to tell us something about what we just saw. Our libidos are too.
By Willa Paskin
Wonder Woman makes plenty of jokes about how Gal Gadot is hot as a way to inoculate itself against charges of sexism, but she still fights evil in a shimmering metal bra.
Clay Enos/Warner Bros/Ratpac-Dune Entertainment LLC
Last week, New York magazine's David Edelstein published a review of Wonder Woman that was written through the fog of his own libido. Blithely unbothered by the irony of objectifying star Gal Gadot in the context of the first (maybe) feminist superhero movie, Edelstein described her as a "superbabe in the woods." He lamented that the movie did not explore the series' S&M subtext. He categorized Israeli women as a "breed unto themselves, which I say with both admiration and trepidation." He used other hepped-up language to communicate that while he was not excited by Wonder Woman, he was really excited by Gal Gadot. Edelstein's review was widely excoriated for being sexist and misogynist. The review certainly could and should have done its readers the favor of more artfully disguising the status of its writer's nether regions, but that doesn't mean boners have no place in criticism. Let's not throw lust out with the lecherous bath water.
Desire, erotics, aesthetics: These are all an intrinsic part of watching anything. They are also far more elegant terms than the crass boner and the gagtastic lady boner, so I'll be using them from now on. I don't need to be coarse. Actors are, among other things, their bodies and faces. Being extremely beautiful is a requirement for famous women and a desirable attribute for famous men. Looks, legs, breasts, pecs are a part of most Hollywood actors' professional skillsets, and we know this because they do. They work on their bodies like … their bodies are work. The loveliness of watching perfectly formed humans is one of the foundational pleasures of movie-watching and, particularly, middling movie-watching.
It is true, and infuriating, that straight, white, male libidos have been judging cinema and television and the other visual arts for most of history, finding women and reducing them to objects, to just another pretty face (or superbabe in the woods). One of the effects of older white men being the people most comfortable publicly voicing their desire is that desire itself has come to seem boring, predictable, gross, insensitive. Edelstein loved the part of Wonder Woman where she stripped down to her corset? Get outta here! He cared more about that than her status as a maybe–or–maybe not feminist icon? Who could have guessed!
But desire isn't boring! It's propulsive. We trust that other physical responses, like tears and nausea, are trying to tell us something about what we just saw. So is lust. Critics, who seek to explain and comprehend their intrinsic responses, don't often say, by way of convincing readers to watch something, "Timothy Olyphant's tush!" But I've sent that text to a friend, where it was more actionable than the thousands of other words I've written in praise of Justified.
Our squeamishness about identifying "eye candy" as a legitimate aspect of entertainment feels especially limiting in the context of the superhero film, which is built on straining biceps and heaving bosoms and other pleasure points in our lizard brains, including ones we feel far more comfortable talking about—like the thrill of violence, the comfort of repetition, the idiotic fascination with things that go boom. Contemporary superhero movies tend to make a big show of being winky and self-aware about their sexiness, but perfect physiques are required. ("How X Movie Star Got Super-Ripped to Play Random Super Guy" is a tabloid staple.) Thor is full of funny examples of shameless beefcakery, and Wonder Woman makes plenty of jokes about how Gal Gadot is hot as a way to inoculate itself against charges of sexism, but she still fights evil in a shimmering metal bra.

Molly, left, and Kelley Calvert say their kids are loving life in Chiang Mai, where even bakeries have play areas.
Kelley and Molly Calvert
Mark C. Anderson
Kelley and Molly Calvert seem perfectly at home – 77,000 miles from their Seaside house. They met at the Middlebury Institute for International Studies in 2002. They started dating in 2011 and were one of the first same-sex couples legally married in Monterey County in 2012. Fast-forward six years and they find themselves full-time in Chiang Mai, the largest city in northern Thailand, as they have been for the last eight months and plan to remain for the next 16. The relocation comes after Kelley, a longtime MIIS writing instructor (and former Weekly intern), took leave when she earned a fellowship to teach English in Thai schools through the U.S. State Department, in what she describes as both an educational and soft-diplomacy role.
That meant realizing a dream for the internationally-inclined couple. After living and working abroad independently – Kelley with the Peace Corps in West Africa, Molly with Catholic Relief Services in Haiti – they were eager to attempt it together, with their young kids (Cora, 4, and Jonah, 2).
The Weekly caught up with them over a lunch of Burmese salads with fermented tea leaves, and again in their State Department-funded sixth-floor apartment where they're the only Westerners in the building.
Weekly : How has the life change gone?
Molly: It was a leap of faith. I feel like our kids are being taken care of. This place has been amazing for them. To see their faces when they're being wrapped in an elephant trunk is so beautiful. Last night they were dancing in the warm rain.
We didn't want to see having kids as a barrier to living abroad, but we did have a sense of urgency to do it while they're young. It's going to get harder when they make their own attachments.
Kelley: I have to say when the elephants were hugging our children, I was a little scared.
What do you wish you could import to U.S. society when you return?
Kelley: In the U.S. we feel like we live in a safe society with a lot of law and structure. There isn't a lot of that here – just look at the traffic. But there is a collectivism and Confucianism and family structure that makes it a lot more safe. There's a real sense of security. People here value overall harmony.
Molly: Everything here is so child-friendly. When you go to the grocery store there's a play area. In some restaurants, there's a kids' area. Everybody here loves kids – and they're expected to behave.
What's been the most meaningful difference in the way you're received as a same-sex family?
Molly: People see us in the States and want to know, "Who's the mom?" They can be invasive and rude. Here it's a family and they accept us. They don't question us. It's a peaceful culture.
What were the reactions to your plans to travel?
Molly: You talk about going overseas with your kids, and people say, "Man, that's scary and so dangerous." It's a beautiful gift to them to see another pace of life, to see another type of culture. Cora bows to her teachers.

This letter concerns a product that your firm distributes to consumers and other distributors via your website, www.assetcapsules4u.com. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has obtained a sample and product labeling of your product, "Asset Bee Pollen." As described below, this product is an unapproved new drug in violation of sections 505(a) and 301(d) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FD&C Act) [21 U.S.C. §§ 355(a) and 331(d)] and a misbranded drug in violation of section 502 of the FD&C Act [21 U.S.C. § 352].
FDA confirmed through laboratory analyses that a sample of "Asset Bee Pollen" contained undeclared sibutramine. The label for this product included your business, Descor, LLC. Sibutramine is the active pharmaceutical ingredient in Meridia, a new drug approved by FDA for marketing in 1997 for prescription treatment of obesity and, subsequently, withdrawn from the U.S. market on December 21, 2010, after clinical data indicated sibutramine poses an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. In addition, previous samples of"Asset Extreme," "Asset Extreme Plus" and "Asset Bold," all which bear your company name on the label, were found through FDA laboratory analysis to contain sibutramine.
You currently market "Asset Bee Pollen" as a dietary supplement. However, under section 201(ff)(3)(B)(ii) of the FD&C Act [21 U.S.C. § 321(ff)(3)(B)(ii)], a dietary supplement may not include an article authorized for investigation as a new drug for which substantial clinical investigations have been instituted and made public, unless the article was marketed as a dietary supplement or food before its authorization as a new drug.
The investigational new drug (IND) application for Meridia (sibutramine) was received by FDA on December 24, 1985, and sibutramine became authorized for investigation as a new drug under an IND on January 23, 1986. When Meridia was approved for marketing as a new drug in the United States, the existence of substantial completed clinical investigations of sibutramine became public. Based on the information available to FDA, sibutramine was not marketed as a dietary supplement or as a food until after it was authorized for investigation as a new drug. Therefore, "Asset Bee Pollen," which contains sibutramine, is excluded from the definition of a dietary supplement under section 201(ff)(3)(B)(ii) of the FD&C Act.
"Asset is an all-natural dietary supplement taken for weight loss, increased energy as well as to speed up your metabolism."
In addition, "Asset Bee Pollen" is a new drug under section 201(p) of the FD&C Act [21 U.S.C. § 321(p)] because the product is not generally recognized as safe and effective under the conditions prescribed, recommended, or suggested in its labeling. Under sections 301(d) and 505(a) of the FD&C Act [21 U.S.C. §§ 331(d) and 355(a)], a new drug may not be introduced or delivered for introduction into interstate commerce unless an FDA-approved application is in effect for it. The distribution or sale of "Asset Bee Pollen" without an approved application violates these provisions of the FD&C Act.
"Asset Bee Pollen" is also misbranded under section 502(f)(1) of the FD&C Act [21 U.S.C. § 352(f)(1)] in that the labeling for this drug fails to bear adequate directions for use. "Adequate directions for use" means directions under which a layman can use a drug safely and for the purposes for which it is intended [21 C.F.R. § 201.5]. It is impossible to write "adequate directions for use" for "Asset Bee | [

Pollen" for at least two reasons: 1) prior to withdrawal of Meridia's approval, FDA approval of sibutramine was limited to use under the professional supervision of a practitioner licensed by law to administer such drugs and 2) FDA approval of Meridia was withdrawn because of serious safety risks. As such, the labeling of "Asset Bee Pollen" fails to bear adequate directions for its intended use. "Asset Bee Pollen" is not exempt from the requirement that its labeling bears adequate directions for use under 21 C.F.R. § 201.100(c)(2) and 201.115 because no FDA-approved application is in effect for this product.
Additionally, under section 502(a) of the FD&C Act [21 U.S.C. § 352(a)], a drug is misbranded if its labeling is false or misleading in any particular. Section 201(n) of the FD&C Act [21 U.S.C. § 321(n)], provides that, in determining whether an article's labeling or advertising "is misleading there shall be taken into account ... not only representations made or suggested ... but also the extent to which the labeling or advertising fails to reveal facts material in light of such representations ... " Your product, "Asset Bee Pollen," is misbranded under section 502(a) of the FD&C Act because their labeling makes false and misleading statements regarding safety and fails to reveal material facts with respect to consequences that may result from the use of these products. As described above, sibutramine may pose serious health risks to consumers which are only compounded by the fact that sibutramine is not declared on the label.
Likewise, "Asset Bee Pollen" is misbranded under section 502(j) of the FD&C Act, [21 U.S.C. § 352(j)] because the product is dangerous to health when used in the dosage or manner recommended in its labeling. As previously noted, sibutramine poses an increased risk of heart attack and stroke.
The introduction or delivery for introduction into interstate commerce of this misbranded product violates section 301(a) of the FD&C Act [21 U.S.C. § 33l(a)].
It is your responsibility under the FD&C Act to ensure that products marketed by your firm do not contain undeclared ingredients and comply with all requirements of federal law and regulations. In general, products marketed as dietary supplements that contain the ingredients sibutramine or their analogs are illegal because they are unapproved new drugs under 21 U.S.C. §§ 321(p) and 355(a) and/or adulterated dietary supplements under 21 U.S.C. § 342. When such products contain undeclared ingredients or bear misleading claims (e.g., "all natural" or misrepresentations about the safety of the product), they are also misbranded drugs under 21 U.S.C. § 352 and/or misbranded dietary supplements under 21 U.S.C. § 343.
The violations cited in this letter are not meant to be an all-inclusive list of violations in your products and their labeling. It is your responsibility to ensure that products marketed by your firm comply with the FD&C Act and its implementing regulations. We advise you to review your website, product labels, and other labeling and promotional materials for your products to ensure that the claims you make for your products do not cause them to violate the FD&C Act.
You should take prompt action to correct the violations described above and prevent their future recurrence. Failure to do so may result in enforcement action by FDA without further notice. The FD&C Act authorizes the seizure of illegal products and injunctions against the manufacturers and/or distributors of those products [21 U.S.C. §§ 332 and 334].
Please notify this office in writing within fifteen (15) working days from your receipt of this letter of the specific steps you have taken to correct | [

U.S. Catholic Bishops Warn Politicians On Abortion President-elect Barack Obama has promised to loosen restrictions on abortion. At the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops' semiannual meeting Tuesday in Baltimore, one bishop after another echoed the words of Fabian Bruskewitz of Lincoln, Neb., who said the church can't let that happen.
And on another question of religion and politics, some U.S. Catholic bishops are expressing mixed feelings about Barack Obama's election as president last week. At their semiannual meeting in Baltimore, they praised the historic nature of electing an African-American, but they also raised concerns that he'll make abortion easier to come by. NPR's Barbara Bradley Hagerty reports.
BARBARA BRADLEY HAGERTY: When the Catholic bishops awakened on November 5, two stark realities stared them in the face. First, 54 percent of Catholics voted for Barack Obama, despite the bishops' teachings about the evils of abortion. Second, the new president-elect has promised to loosen restrictions on the procedure. During the bishops' meeting yesterday, one bishop after another echoed the words of Fabian Bruskewitz of Lincoln, Nebraska, who said the church cannot let that happen.
Bishop FABIAN BRUSKEWITZ (Bishop of Lincoln, Nebraska): One cannot compromise between the fire and the fire department, the fly and the fly swatter. There are things that don't admit of compromise. And vile and horror - intrinsic evils such as abortion do not admit us any such compromise.
BRADLEY HAGERTY: The bishops are writing a letter to Senator Obama and the Democratically-held Congress urging them to refrain from making abortion easier. The bishops fretted most about the Freedom of Choice Act, which Obama has promised to sign if it ever comes to his desk. That act would knock down most federal and state restrictions on abortion, including parental consent and waiting periods.
The bishops also told politicians they cannot leave their faith at the door of Congress. Bishop Joseph Martino of Scranton, Pennsylvania, Vice President-elect Joe Biden's hometown, went further. He suggested the bishops use, quote, "canonical measures" - things like denying Communion - to make their point.
Bishop JOSEPH MARTINO (Bishop of Scranton, Pennsylvania): I cannot have the vice president-elect coming to Scranton and saying that he learned his values there, when those values are - at least in the area of abortion - are utterly against the teachings of the Catholic Church.
BRADLEY HAGERTY: But Thomas Reese, a Jesuit priest and scholar at Georgetown University, says Martino's view is rare. And he notes that Biden will soon be moving to Washington, the archdiocese of the more moderate Donald Wuerl.
Reverend THOMAS REESE (Jesuit Priest; Senior Fellow, Woodstock Theological Center, Georgetown University): And Archbishop Wuerl has made clear that he does not believe in using Communion as a weapon against Catholic politicians. So Vice President Biden will be able to go to Communion in Washington, D.C., and I would guess in at least 180 other dioceses around the country.
BRADLEY HAGERTY: Reese adds that most bishops want to work with the Obama administration. Even though he's pro-choice, the president-elect has pledged to reduce the number of abortions through poverty, health care, and other social justice programs. Nicholas Cafardi, a legal scholar and prominent pro-life Catholic who voted for Obama, says attempts to restrict abortions and to overturn Roe v. Wade have failed for the past 35 years. And the bishops should take another approach.
Dr. NICHOLAS CAFARDI (Legal Scholar): For me, the problem isn't that abortion is legal. The problem is that it's become acceptable. And I think the bishops would be well-advised not so much to worry about whether abortion is unlawful, but to really make it unimaginable. You know, unacceptable, unspeakable. But that's a moral battle. That's not a political battle.

of a snarky feature piece by skeptical journalist Wyatt Jones.

'But if you cannot speak truth at a beheading, when can you speak it?' The Mirror and the Light, by Hilary Mantel
April 26, 2020 at 7:34 pm (Anglophilia, Book review, books)
I have finished it: the third and final installment of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall Trilogy, all 784 pages of it. (Hardback count, though I read the e-book). And what a long, strange trip it's been….
I'm really eager to read media reviews of this book, but I want to note my own impressions, first. Going back over some of the passages I've highlighted, I'm struck first of all by the wealth of sardonic humor. There's the comment that appears in the title above, issuing from the angry mind of Thomas Cromwell. He and others have just witnessed the beheading of Anne Boleyn.
Here is how the novel opens:
Once the queen's head is severed, he walks away. A sharp pang of appetite reminds him that it is time for a second breakfast, or perhaps an early dinner. The morning's circumstances are new and there are no rules to guide us. The witnesses, who have knelt for the passing of the soul, stand up and put on their hats. Under the hats, their faces are stunned.
Hungry, after that? Ugh. But if it's meant to deliver a jolt, it succeeds.
Later, with jaunty irreverence, he remarks to his son Gregory:
'It would be like the late queen to pin her head back on, pick up the sword and chase me to Whitehall.'
Serving the King's Majesty takes Cromwell on one heck of a wild ride. For him, and for those who pursue a similar career path, the sensation of being near to supreme power, and possibly even exerting influence over it, is intoxicating. Me, I would rather be out in some distant field, as remote from royalty as possible, harvesting flax or some other needful quantity, or laboring in a kitchen somewhere helping to fashion one of the unique repasts, such as the one described here:
The eels come in, presented in two fashions: salted in an almond sauce, and baked with the juice of an orange. There is a spinach tart, green as the summer evening, flavoured with nutmeg and a splash of rosewater. The silver gleams; the napkins are folded into the shapes of Tudor roses; the coverpanes at each place are worked with silver garlands. 'Bon appétit,' he says to the ambassador. 'I've had a letter.'
Falsehoods, outright lies, artful dissembling, plotting, deceiving – no bad act is off limits at this glittering court. One false move, one unguarded word, and you can find yourself imprisoned in the tower, awaiting interrogation and God knows what else. Or, as Thomas Cromwell learns to his grief, acts off loyalty and resourcefulness can be turned into something else quite other by those same interrogators. Love can curdle and become hate in a matter of hours. – even minutes.
(In Act Two Scene One of As You Like It, Duke Senior, exiled from the court, has taken refuge in the Forest of Arden. Unexpectedly, he finds this a rather pleasant experience:
And this our life exempt from public haunt
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones and good in every thing.
I would not change it.
It is much the better place, to be "exempt from public haunt.")
Careful attention must be paid to who is who among a vast array of characters. Dame Hilary does provide a list at the front of the novel, and a very intimidating roster it is:
THE RECENTLY DEAD
Anne Boleyn, Queen of England.
Her supposed lovers:
George Boleyn, Viscount Rochford, her brother. (Yes – her brother!)
Henry Norris, chief of the king's privy chamber.
Francis Weston and William Brereton, gentlemen in the king's circle.
Mark Smeaton, musician.

to the king, Lord Privy Seal, and Vicegerent in Spirituals: that is, the king's deputy in the English church.
Gregory, his son, only surviving child of his marriage to Elizabeth Wyks.
Mercy Prior, his mother-in-law. Rafe Sadler, his chief clerk, brought up within the family: later in the king's household.
Helen, Rafe's wife. Richard Cromwell, his nephew, married to Frances Murfyn.
Thomas Avery, household accountant. Thurston, chief cook.
Dick Purser, keeper of the guard dogs. Jenneke, Cromwell's daughter. (Invented character) Christophe, a servant. (Invented character)
Mathew, a servant, formerly of Wolf Hall. (Invented character)
Bastings, the bargemaster. (Invented character)
And on it goes, through The King's Family and Household (8), The Seymour Family (5), Politicians and Clergy (12), Courtiers and Aristocrats (17), Household of the King's Children (3), At the Convent in Shaftsebury (2), Henry's Dynastic Rivals (7), Diplomats (8), In Calais (4), At the Tower of London (2), Cromwell's Friends (5). Oh – and there are two family trees – the royal family, naturellement.
Am I trying to dissuade you from tackling this formidable tale? Heaven forfend! You surely do not want to miss out on all the fun. And besides, quite a few of the characters in the above accounting are quite minor. It's just that – well, be aware, and keep your wits about you. (No doubt, Thomas Cromwell himself would advise the same.)
At one point, Cromwell's son Gregory observes, rather artlessly: 'It's no treason to say all men are mortal.' His father has a swift rejoinder: 'No, but it's not your best idea either.' Then, reflecting on recent events, he thinks to himself:
…that was Anne Boleyn's mistake. She took Henry for a man like other men. Instead of what he is, and what all princes are: half god, half beast.
With the death of Anne Boleyn, Henry is free to seek out a new wife. He already has is eye on the demure Jane Seymour, scion of the powerful, social-climbing Seymour clan. In the fullness of time, she provides him with the son he has been so desperately wanting – a true heir. The effort, however, costs her her life.
And so, back to the drawing boards; the search for Wife Number Four begins almost immediately. And for Thomas Cromwell, the previously invincible fixer, this is where things start to go wrong.
Hilary Mantel is a deeply gifted writer. She writes marvelous dialog; moreover, she can summon up, in a single sentence, an entire world. There's this from Wolf Hall:
He remembers one night in summer when the footballers had stood silent, looking up. It was dusk. The note from a single recorder wavered in the air, thin and piercing. A blackbird picked up the note, and sang from a bush by the water gate. A boatman whistled back from the river.
The novels in this trilogy are written in the present tense. I don't always like this mode of expression in fiction, but Mantel uses it convincingly here. It conveys a sense of unrelenting urgency entirely appropriate to the story. Something she uses that I find less convincing is the pronoun 'he' to designate Thomas Cromwell's thoughts and utterances. Since most of the speaking in these novels – certainly in The Mirror & the Light – is done by men, it can be unclear at times as to who is doing the speaking (or thinking).
Cromwell is reflecting here:
On his journey today from London, he felt he brought guests: Norris and George Boleyn, young Weston, Mark, and William Brereton. As he stepped out of his barge they stepped out too; they stood on the banks of the Styx, waiting to cross. They died within minutes of each other, but that does not mean they are together now. The dead wander the lanes of the next life like strangers lost in Venice. Even if they | [

met, what would they have to talk about? When they stood before their judges they edged away from each other, as if fearing contamination. Each man had made a case against the other, hoping he might save his own life.
As soon as Henry turns against someone – often for reasons known only to himself – he pulls away from that person and lets his minions mete out their punishment. Thomas Cromwell is no angel, but as this ineluctable process played out in his life, I developed a strong animosity toward Henry. It's never a pretty sight, watching a third party carry out a powerful person's dirty work. It is just plain cowardly, also lazy. As Isabella says in Measure For Measure:
O, it is excellent
To have a giant's strength; but it is tyrannous
To use it like a giant.
This next is a spoiler, if you don't already know what happens: Cromwell's path to annihilation is laid out in excruciating detail. I haven't read anything as harrowing since the closing sentences of the story "Ideas of Heaven" by Joan Silber (in the collection by the same title).
Portraits of Thomas More and Thomas Cromwell by Hans Holbein – himself a minor character in the Wolf Hall trilogy – are hung on the same wall in my beloved Frick Collection in New York City. (El Greco's portrait of Saint Jerome hangs between them.)
Thomas More, left, and Thomas Cromwell
Henry VIII, by Hans Holbein
The first four wives:
Katherine of Aragon
Ann of Cleves
This scene from the television version of Wolf Hall vividly conveys Anne Boleyn's spitfire persona. She and Henry re examining a document brought to them by Cromwell, superbly played by Mark Rylance. (Damian Lewis is Henry; Claire Foy is Anne.)
Hilary Mantel has been very generous with appearances and interviews. Here is a short piece that I found illuminating:
'Truly, my friend Rembrandt, all honor to you.'

Judas, repentant, returning the pieces of silver, by Rembrandt, 1629
That single gesture of the desperate Judas…a raging, whining Judas groveling for mercy he no longer hopes for or dares to show the smallest sign of expecting, his frightful visage, hair torn out of his head, his rent garment, his arms twisted, the hands clenched bloodlessly tight, fallen to his knees in a heedless outburst–that body, wholly contorted in pathetic despair.
[He] can withstand comparison with anything ever made in Italy, or f or that matter with everything beautiful and admirable that has been preserved since the earliest antiquity….that which (and I say this in dumb amazement) a youth, a born and bred Batavian…a miller, a smooth-faced boy, has done: joining in the figure of one man so many divers particulars and expressing so many universals. Truly, my friend Rembrandt, all honor to you.
Constantijn Huygens was astounded when he saw what the young Rembrandt – age 23! – had accomplished in this painting.
Surely there are few things in this world as inspiring as the praise of one genius for another. May this example comfort and encourage us now.
'Be especially diligent in cultivating. Mind you that my barley seed is guarded and that all my property is guarded.'

This is the original cover of the first edition, published in the U.S., October 1944
Death Comes as the End is something of an anomaly in Agatha Christie's oeuvre. Set in Egypt circa 2000 BCE, it is her only historical novel. The main character is called Resinenb, a young woman recently widowed, who has returned with her small daughter to live in her family home. This home is a well-populated establishment. Renisenb's father, the farmer Imhotep, is the somewhat fussy, imperious paterfamilias; in addition, there are two married brothers, a | [
