Jeff Cohen, Helen Thomas, Dennis Kucinich
Jeff Cohen wastes everyone time with a column. We get it. You're in the Hillary Haters Club. No problem on that, I'm not fond of Hillary myself. But I don't feel the need to alter reality to take her down. That's not me saying, "How dare he take on Hillary!" That is me saying how dare he present John Edwards or Barack Obama as the alternative ["Given the conservative tilt of the punditocracy, it doesn’t surprise me that many in the media are seeking to anoint Clinton as the Democratic nominee, or that they (including at Fox News) tend to side with her in disputes with Edwards or Obama."] Hillary Clinton shouldn't be ripped apart to shore up either man. They are all three the exact same. I'm tired of this nonsense that "Bambi" is caring. He is a War Hawk. I've said it here before he decided to run for president. C.I.'s said it at The Common Ills. We both met with the empty suit at a big money fundraiser for his 2004 Senate run. He was not supporting withdrawing from Iraq. He was advocating against it.
I'm really sick of this idea that we can take all of our frustrations out on the woman. Hillary Clinton is, in my opinion, a pig. So are John Edwards and Barack Obama. I'm tired of it. All this nonsense does if fuel sympathy towards Hillary because anyone with a half a brain who reads this sort of nonsense is going to grasp that the three 'front runners' are not significantly different and rightly wonder if this is all about sexism?
I don't care if Cohen calls Hillary out or not. I do care that he applies a standard of equality and, if he can't, otherwise he is just assisting Hillary's nomination.
Jeff Cohen is often an astute critic. If he really intends to put people wise to Hillary, he better take a moment to grasp that the method he is using is doing nothing but creating sympathy for Hillary. It's not effective and it's not truthful because Edwards and Obama are just as disgusting as Hillary Clinton. Chris Dodd, Dennis Kucinich (whom I'm supporting in the primary), Mike Gravel and Bill Richardson are the oppenents for the three 'front runners.' If any of the four got half the attention from independent media that the 'front runners' do, they would likely be able to be a 'front runner' as well.
Bill Richardson had a strong week, a very strong week. He has thrown down a marker and said he is for ending the illegal war and, in doing so, called out his oppenents. Dennis Kucinich really hasn't done that. Nor Gravel. Nor Dodd. Bill Richardson called out Hillary, yes, he also called out Obama and Edwards.
Jeff Cohen is far too smart to come off like Katrina vanden Heuvel (who gushes this week that two of the front runners "get it on nukes"). His columnn wasn't something I went in search of. In a session today, a veteran brought it up and asked me to read it (he was very bothered by it) and to write about it. So there it is. I will also note his question, "When did ending the Iraq War stop mattering?" He wanted that in to. When he was deployed, Iraq was a topic of independent media. He assumed that was still the case and then he returned from Iraq and saw that was not the case.
Now United for Peace and Justice. An angry e-mail came in Thursday asking me why I sleighted UPFJ? I provided links and didn't link to UPFJ. I wasn't aware I hadn't. The woman was also mad at C.I. for not linking (it was a joint entry by C.I. and myself). We wrote it together, I typed it up. I thought I had provided a link to UPFJ. I support UPFJ and was not attempting to favor other organizations over them. I obviously took more care in attempting to do that which is why the other links did go in but I assumed I had linked to United for Peace & Justice when I had not. Thanks to ___ for e-mailing and raising the issue. Hope that clears it up.
"The Democrats Who Enable Bush" (Helen Thomas, Seattle Post-Intelligencer via Common Dreams):
President Bush has no better friends than the spineless Democratic congressional leadership and the party's leading presidential candidates when it comes to his failing Iraq policy.
Those Democrats seem to have forgotten that the American people want U.S. troops out of Iraq, especially since Bush still cannot give a credible reason for attacking Iraq after nearly five years of war.
Last week at a debate in Hanover, N.H., the leading Democratic presidential candidates sang from the same songbook: Sens. Hillary Clinton of New York, and Barack Obama of Illinois and former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards refused to promise to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq by 2013, at the end of the first term of their hypothetical presidencies. Can you believe it?
When the question was put to Clinton, she reverted to her usual cautious equivocation, saying: "It is very difficult to know what we're going to be inheriting."
Obama dodged, too: "I think it would be irresponsible" to say what he would do as president.
Edwards, on whom hopes were riding to show some independence, replied to the question: "I cannot make that commitment."
They have left the voters little choice with those answers.
Some supporters were outraged at the obfuscation by the Democratic front-runners.
On the other hand, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, and Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., are more definitive in their calls for quick troop withdrawals.
Just to clarify that exchange, I'm including this from "Strangely familiar" (The Third Estate Sunday Review):
Richardson was followed closely by Chris Dodd who declared, "The idea that we could be emborlied in combat for at least another five years should set off alarm bells for anyone with a modicum of foreign policy experience. Sacrificing American lives to engage in a civil war is a deeply corrupt strategy and one I have been working to combat in Congress. I call on my fellow candidates to help me bring and end to this war before 2013 -- we need to end this war now before it passes Vietnam as the longest war in American history."
Candidate Joe Biden hedged the answer. He said yes and he said no. He declared, "Just from Iraq. You're going to bring all troops home from Iraq. If in fact there is no political solution by the time I am president, then I would bring them out because all they are is fodder.But -- but -- if you go along with the Biden plan that got 75 votes today and you have a stable Iraq like we have in Bosnia -- we've had 20,000 Western troops in Bosnia for 10 years. Not one has been killed -- not one. The genocide has ended. So it would depend on the circumstances when I became president. " He would bring them all home . . . unless his plan to partition Iraq into three sections came to be and since it won the support of 75 idiots in the Senate, it's very likely that Iraq will be carved up into three areas if the US has the last say. In which case, Biden's answer is "no."
On the subject of Dennis Kuinich, this is a press release he issued today.
"Bush Administration Needs To Come Clean To American Public On Torture"
WASHINGTON, DC -- October 5 -- Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) called on the Bush Administration to come clean to the American people and stop condoning the use of torture.
"This government does not torture people," President Bush claimed this morning in a brief news conference. "You know, we...stick to U.S. law and our international obligations."
Yesterday, The New York Times reported that despite the Justice Department’s 2004 public legal opinion that torture was "abhorrent," only a year later the Justice Department under then-Attorney General Alberto Gonzales issued a secret opinion that permitted the "harshest interrogation techniques ever used by the CIA."
"The Justice Department tried pulling a cloak over Americans’ eyes by declaring torture 'abhorrent' in a public declaration, and then secretly permitting it," Kucinich said.
"How can the President say 'we do not torture,' when at the same time he is condoning it?" Kucinich asked. "This type of deception and brutality is costing America our moral standing and our friendships all over the world.
"President Bush needs to come clean to the American people. Torture is not an American value. Congress needs to confront the President over the Administration's repulsive use of torture and end this abhorrent technique once and for all."
So that's Kucinich speaking on the torture Bully Boy has made "the American way."
"Dennis Kucinich" (John J. Ray, Forbes):
As the outspoken chairman of the Progressive Caucus, Kucinich, 60, advocates nonviolence and diplomacy above all. If elected president, he promises to reduce the Pentagon's budget and proposes the creation of a Department of Peace. He was the only presidential candidate for 2008 who voted against authorizing the war in Iraq and he continues to speak out in strong opposition to the war. Kucinich also opposes the U.S.A. Patriot Act.
A staunch environmentalist, Kucinich will make it a priority to rejoin the Kyoto treaty on global warming. He champions unionized labor and working families and would immediately cancel U.S. participation in the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and the World Trade Organization (WTO), claiming that they push American jobs overseas. He has a plan for a universal health care system and believes that marijuana should be decriminalized. Kucinich, a vegan, married for the third time in 2005.
Forbes is apparently covering all the candidates (at least with a profile and a scorecard). Something our independent media -- or our alleged independent media (and I am not referring to Jeff Cohen in "alleged" but you can apply that to the likes of The Nation) -- should be able to do but it is apparently a task far out of their reach.
Friday, Ocotber 5, 2007. Chaos and violence continue in Iraq, the US military announces more deaths, Ehren Watada's court-martial is still set to start next Tuesday, the bait and kill teams get a white wash, and more.
Starting with war resistance. In June 2006, Ehren Watada became the first officer to publicly refuse to deploy to the Iraq War. As Aaron Glantz (The War Comes Home) notes Ehren Watada's second court-martial is scheduled to begin this coming Tuesday. And if it takes place and the prosecution is trailing, Judge Toilet (aka John Head) can call another "do over." Glantz reported on the first court-martial each day of the court-martial (as well as on the Sunday rally of support that preceded the court-martial) and you can click here for some of that audio. Truthout also covered the court-martial daily and they announce: "Truthout will be covering the court-martial from Fort Lewis, Washington, beginning Monday." Their coverage last time provided both video and text reports. Mike Barber (Seattle Post-Intelligencer) reports on yesterday's events, "U.S. District Court Judge Benjamin Settle on Thursday afternoon heard arguments from Watada's lawyers and a lawyer from the U.S. Attorney's Office about whether he has jurisdiction in the case. Settle held the hearing after Watada's defense attorneys, Jim Lobsenz and Ken Kagen, sought an emergency halt to next Tuesday's court-martial. They said they were compelled to go to federal court after receiving no word from the military justice system's highest appellate court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, concerning Watada's challenge to his court-martial." AP reports that a decision by Settle may come down today; however, Michael Gilbert (Washington's The News Tribune) reports, "A federal judge indicated he won't likely decide whether to halt Lt. Ehren Watada's second court-martial until Tuesday morning, when the proceeding is scheduled to begin in an Army courtroom at Fort Lewis." Meanwhile, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer editorializes "Watada Court-Martial: Let him go:"However the defense appeals turn out, we think there is a case for letting Watada leave the Army without further ado. That could be taken as a statement of higher-level confidence, a choice to focus on the larger military mission that President Bush and Gen. David Petraeus insist is making new progress. At a minimum, many of those who oppose the Iraq war would welcome the leniency for someone they view as a person of conscience."
In Canada this week, war resister Robin Long was arrested this week. Charlie Smith (Vancouver's Straight) reports that when twenty-year-old war resister Brad McCall attemptedto enter Canada on September 19, 2007, he was arrested "and driven to a jail in Surrey" with McCall telling him, "I don't know what kind of police officer he was. He put me in handcuffs in front of all these people that were watching that were trying to get into Canada also" and McCall aksed the Canadian Border Services Agency, "I told them, 'Why are you playing the part of the hound dog for the U.S. army?' They didn't know what to say. They just started stuttering and mumbling." Brad McCall did make it into Canada and is staying with Colleen Fuller in Vancouver. As is very common in stories of war resisters going to Canada "over the Internet". McCall also speaks of hearing about atrocities/war crimes in Iraq as participants bragged about the actions. Robin Long also cited that in his interview for CBC Television. McCall explains he was interested in CO status but when he raised the issued with "his commander and sergeants," the dismissed it which has happened repeatedly with many war resisters. Aiden Delgado and Camilo Mejia are among those who can share their struggles to receive CO status -- Delgado was one of the few to be successful in his attempt. Robert Zabala has the distinction of being awarded CO status by the US civilian court system. Agustin Aguayo attempted the process both within the US military and within the civilian court system.
Another who attempted CO status is Kevin Benderman. Monica Benderman, Kevin's wife, addressed Congress in May of 2006 noting, "My husband violated no regulations. His command violated many. The command's flagrant disregard for military regulations and laws of humanity sent my husband to jail as a prisoner of conscience. Times have changed -- and so has conscientious objection. What has not changed is the Constitution, the oath our volunteer soldiers take to defend it, and every American citizen's right to freedom of choice. This conscientious objection goes beyond religious teaching. It is not dramatic. There is no epiphany. There is reality. Death is final, whether it is your own or you cause the death of another. No amount of field training can make up for the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells of a real battlefield, and no amount of threats, intimidation, and abuse from a command can change a soldier's mind when the cold, hard truth of an immoral, unethical justification for war is couple with real-life sensations." Monica, and not Kevin, addressed Congress because Kevin was still serving the sentence on the kangaroo court hearing he was subjected to when he attempted to be granted CO status by following every detail by the book with no margin for error. But the US military brass doesn't like to issue CO status and they were willing to manuever and lie in their attempts at retribution towards Kevin Benderman. The laughable charge of "desertion" (which has no basis in reality) was shot down (he was acquitted of that ludicrous charge) but the brass was successful with other charges (trumped up charges) and that goes to how they control the court-martials, how they refuse to allow evidence to be entered and arguments to be made in an arrangement that's already stacked against the individual. (For instance, in Ehren Watada's trial, Judge Toilet was known to report to his superiors who, presumably, gave him orders throughout the February court-martial. In a civilian court, a judge reporting to a 'superior' and taking advice from one would be grounds for an aquittal.) Kevin and Monica Benderman fought the brass and continued fighting when others might have given up. Letters from Fort Lewis Brig: A Matter of Conscience is the new book, out this week from The Lyons Press (US $24.95), in which they tell his story. Letters from Fort Lewis Brig: A Matter of Conscience is also the fourth book by a war resister of the Iraq War to be published this year. The other three are Aidan Delgado's The Sutras Of Abu Ghraib: Notes From A Conscientious Objector In Iraq, Camilo Mejia's Road from Ar Ramadi: The Private Rebellion of Staff Sergeant Mejia and Joshua Key's The Deserter's Tale. Early on as the brass was targeting her husband, Monica Benderman visited bookstores attempting to learn more about CO status and similar topics and she couldn't find anything. The four books rectify that and join Peter Laufer's
compelling Mission Rejected: U.S. Soldiers Who Say No to Iraq which covers the stories of variety of war resisters and was released in 2006. In an ideal world, bookstores across the country would stock all five and no Monica Benderman, in search of information, would ever be greeted with "We don't carry anything like that." Kevin and Monica Benderman have done their part to make sure it doesn't happen. Again, Letters from Fort Lewis Brig by Kevin Benderman with Monica Benderman was released this week, is available at bookstores and online and it'll be the focus of a book discussion at The Third Estate Sunday Review this weekend.
There is a growing movement of resistance within the US military which includes James Stepp, Matthew Lowell, Derek Hess, Diedra Cobb, Brad McCall, Justin Cliburn, Timothy Richard, Robert Weiss, Phil McDowell, Steve Yoczik, Ross Spears, Zamesha Dominique, Chrisopther Scott Magaoay, Jared Hood, James Burmeister, Eli Israel, Joshua Key, Ehren Watada, Terri Johnson, Carla Gomez, Luke Kamunen, Leif Kamunen, Leo Kamunen, Camilo Mejia, Kimberly Rivera, Dean Walcott, Linjamin Mull, Agustin Aguayo, Justin Colby, Marc Train, Abdullah Webster, Robert Zabala, Darrell Anderson, Kyle Snyder, Corey Glass, Jeremy Hinzman, Kevin Lee, Mark Wilkerson, Patrick Hart, Ricky Clousing, Ivan Brobeck, Aidan Delgado, Pablo Paredes, Carl Webb, Stephen Funk, Blake LeMoine, Clifton Hicks, David Sanders, Dan Felushko, Brandon Hughey, Clifford Cornell, Joshua Despain, Joshua Casteel, Katherine Jashinski, Dale Bartell, Chris Teske, Matt Lowell, Jimmy Massey, Chris Capps, Tim Richard, Hart Viges, Michael Blake, Christopher Mogwai, Christian Kjar, Kyle Huwer, Wilfredo Torres, Michael Sudbury, Ghanim Khalil, Vincent La Volpa, DeShawn Reed and Kevin Benderman. In total, forty-one US war resisters in Canada have applied for asylum.
Information on war resistance within the military can be found at The Objector, The G.I. Rights Hotline [(877) 447-4487], Iraq Veterans Against the War and the War Resisters Support Campaign. Courage to Resist offers information on all public war resisters. Tom Joad maintains a list of known war resisters.
Canada's in the news not only for the arrest of war resisters these days but also for their oil deal. In a curious press release that proclaims "THIS PRESS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO THE UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICE OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES" at the top, Canada's Heritage Oil Corporation declares (to "Business Editors") that they are "pleased to announce that it has executed a Production Sharing Contract with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) over Miran Block in the south-west of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and that Heritage will be operating as a 50/50 partner with the KRG to create a 20,000 barrel per day oil refinery in the vincinity of the license area. . . . Heritage will join the existing and increasing presence of international oil exploration, development and production companies operating in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. . . . Heritage will commence geological work immediately, having established its local office in Erbil in 2005, and aims to commence a high-impact exploration drilling program in 2008." Last month a deadly clash took place on Lake Albert between "Congolese troops and the Ugandan army" which Heritage Oil has denied any part in despite media reports. Andy Rowell (Oil Change) notes that the Kurdish government has "announced four new oil exploration deals with international energy companies. The news is likely to upset the central government in Baghdad and the US." In addition, this week Canada refused entry to CODEPINK's Media Benjamin and retired US State Dept and army colonel Ann Wright. Today, Amy Goodman (Democracy Now!) interviewed Wright:
AMY GOODMAN: So, Ann, you were turned back at the border. You go back to Washington, D.C. You meet with Canadian officials at the embassy. What did they tell you?
ANN WRIGHT: Well, they told us that any time that the FBI puts people on this NCIC list, they just accept it at face value, that they don't really investigate things. And we kept saying, "Well, you ought to, because a lot of these things appear to be going onto this list because of political intimidation," because, indeed, the list itself for the database says that people like foreign fugitives, people on the ten most-wanted list or 100 most-wanted list, people that are part of violent gangs and terrorist organizations, are supposed to go on that NCIC list. It didn't seem like that we were a part of -- we haven't done anything to be on the list. And since this thing is just now -- we are the first ones that we know of that have been formally stopped from going into Canada. In fact, it happened to me in August, when I went up to Canada to participate in the Security and Prosperity Partnership. I had to buy my way in, $200 for a three-day temporary resident permit. "If I'm so dangerous, why would they even give me that permit?" I asked the immigration officer in the Canadian embassy.
Turning to the Iraqi puppet government Susan Cornwell (Reuters) reported: "Widespread corruption in Iraq stretches into the government of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, an Iraqi investigating judge told U.S. lawmakers on Thursday, and an American official said U.S. efforts to combat the problem are inadequate. Judge Radhi Hamza al-Radhi, who was named by the United States in 2004 to head the Iraqi Commission on Public Integrity, said his agency estimated corruption had cost the Iraqi government up to $18 billion." Renee Schoof (McClatchy Newspapers) adds, "Enormous sums of oil revenues ended up in the hands of Sunni and Shiite militias, he said. Radhi Hamza al-Radhi, who is seeking U.S. asylum because of death threats against him, said that Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki and his government prevented al-Radhi's U.S.-backed Commission on Public Integrity from taking action against top national officials."
Turning to the topic of violence, AP notes that the mercenary corporation Blackwater USA has a new p.r. flack -- Burson-Marsteller -- and that, "The State Department, which pays Blackwater hundreds of millions of dollars to protect U.S. diplomats in Iraq, has stringent rules barring the private security contractor from discussing with the media the details of its work, according to those familiar with the arrangement." While Sudarsan Raghavan, Joshua Partlow and Karen DeYoung (Washington Post) explain the latest reports on the September 16th slaughter Blackwater conducted in Baghdad, "U.S. military reports from the scene of the Sept. 16 shooting incident involving the security firm Blackwater USA indicate that its guards opened fire without provocation and used excessive force against Iraqi civilians, according to a senior U.S. military official. The reports came to light as an Interior Ministry official and five eyewitnesses described a second deadly shooting minutes after the incident in Nisoor Square. The same Blackwater security guards, after driving about 150 yards away from the square, fired into a crush of cars, killing one person and injuring two, the Iraqi official said. The U.S. military reports appear to corroborate the Iraqi government's contention that Blackwater was at fault in the shooting incident in Nisoor Square, in which hospital records say at least 14 people were killed and 18 were wounded."
Staying on violence . . .
"Shams survived, but is now blind. She is one of hundreds who were injured, but survived this attack. More than 200 others died. This is her story," so begins Alive in Baghdad's video report this week entitled "Car Bomb Survivors, No Longer Statistics" which focuses on the aftermath of the November 23rd bombing for the year-old Shams whose mother died shielding her from the blast and whose brother Ghaith was left with shrapnel. Her father, Hesham Fadhel Karim, explains his wife, Shams, and Ghaith and Taif (two sons) were in their car in Sadr City when three bombs went off, "My baby girl Shams was injured and lost her two eyes, her mother was killed and my older son Ghaith was injured by shrapnel in his back. . . . Shams face was injured because she was beside her mother who was burning. As for my wife, the fireman came to extinguish her and I carried her to the ambulance which brought her to the hospital. We took her out of the ambulance into the hospital. I was trying to extinguish her but I could not, because she burnt my hands, legs, and shoulder. At last, she died. As for Shams, I didn't know which hospital she was in. I searched for her in every hospital in Sadr City but I couldn't find her because she was carried to the Adnan Khairallah Martyr hospital." The search for Shams was made more difficult by the night time curfews forbidding travel. After finding her, her family attempted to get treatment for her in Jordan and Iran but were told there was nothing that could be done about her eyes. Shams' grandfather declares, "In fact, I appeal to this world and the humanitarian world to care for the children of Iraq because there are millions of children who are without eyes, deformed or having their arms or legs amputated."
In some of today's reported violence . . .
Bombings?
Amy Goodman (Democracy Now!) reports, "Up to twenty-four Iraqi civilians are reportedly dead following a U.S. air strike near the city of Baquba. Another twenty-seven people were wounded. The toll is said to include women and children. Witnesses say at least four homes were leveled in the attack. Some of the victims were killed after rushing out of their homes to help those hurt in the initial bombing." AFP reports, "Witnesses said US helicopters attacked Jayzani, northwest of the mainly Shiite town of Al-Khalis, at around 2:00 am (2300 GMT), destroying at least four houses. An AFP photographer saw at least four trucks, each carrying several bodies from Jayzani, being driven through Baghdad to the Shiite holy city of Najaf for burial. One of the dead was clearly an elderly man" and AFP quotes Ahmed Mohammed saying, "There are 24 bodies on the ground in the village and 25 others wounded in Al-Khalis hospital." Laith Hammoudi (McClatchy Newspapers) reports a bombing today "near Latifiyah Bridge" outside Babil left three people injured while a Tuz Khurmatu bombing left three wounded. Reuters notes that a Laitifya roadside bombing left three people injured.
Shootings?
Laith Hammoudi (McClatchy Newspapers) reports Sheikh Yasir Al Yasiri was shot dead yesterday and Sheikh Khalid was shot dead last night, both in Basra, both were professors at "Al Sadr religious university".
Corpses?
Laith Hammoudi (McClatchy Newspapers) reports 4 corpses discovered in Baghdad and 2 corpses were discovered in Kifil.
Today the US military announced: "Two Multi-National Division-Baghdad Soldiers were killed and two others were wounded when an improvised explosive device detonated during operations in the southeastern region of the Iraqi capital Oct. 5." And the US military announced: "One Multi-National Corps - Iraq Soldier was killed and three were wounded in Salah Ad Din province today when an improvised explosive device was detonated near their vehicle." ICCC's total number killed in the illegal war since it started (March 2003) stands at 3813 and Reuters stands at 3812.
Turning to news of white wash, Ned Parker (Los Angeles Times) 'investigates' the bait and kill teams of US snipers in Iraq by . . . reading court transcripts. Work that will no doubt to elevate him to the level of Maury Povich or at least Ted Baxter. Parker writes: "Interviews and court transcripts portray a 13-man sniper unit that felt under pressure to produce a high body count, a Vietnam-era measure that the Pentagon officially has disavowed in this war. They describe a sniper unit whose margins of right and wrong were blurred: by Hensley, if you believe Army prosecutors; by the Army, if you believe the accused." Wow, shock and dull, shock and dull. In June of this year, James Burmeister went public with the news of the kill teams. All Things Media Big and Small ignored it in this country. Last week, a court-martial forced them to cover it with limited hangout. Now it's time for the white wash and Parker shows up in flip flops, a half-shirt and Daisy Dukes, scrub brush in hand.
Meanwhile, James Foley (Medill Reports) quotes Kelly Dougherty (IVAW) declaring, "People say it's an all-volunteer army, but the truth is many people's contracts have been extended, some involuntarily extended. That's not only against an all-volunteer military, but putting the same people in a combat zone again and again . . . We get a lot of calls (asking) 'What should I do? Should I go back.'" Tim Dickinson (Rolling Stone) highlights two articles -- First, Philip Dine (St. Louis Dipatch) reveals that "Thousands of U.S. soldiers in Iraq -- as many as 10 a day -- are being discharged by the military for mental health reasons. But the Pentagon isn't blaming the war. It says the soldiers had 'pre-existing' conditions that disqualify them for treatment by the government." This is an effort to deny treatment for service members suffering from PTSD by claiming that the PTSD is actually a prior condition. Dikinson then notes a report on the number of service members who are deployed "for only 729 days. . . exactly one day short of the 730 days needed to guarantee thousands of dollars a year for college."
Today on the second hour of NPR's The Diane Rehm Show, Rehm's roundtable guests were McClatchy Newspapers' Warren P. Strobel, the Washington Post's Keith Richburg and UPI's Martin Walker.
Diane Rehm: Let's talk about what's happening in Iraq with Iraq buying $100 million worth of weapons from China.
Martin Walker: Well you go to the best. I mean if you want, if you want the kind of material you need to supress people and maintain an authoritarian state where do you go? China. The point that the US wasn't able to supply the weaponry required and the Chinese are able to supply cheap knock-offs of AK-47s.
Diane Rehm: But haven't the Iraqis had terrible trouble keeping track of weapons to begin with?
Martin Walker: The place is awash in weapons but don't forget it also took place as we've got this new report about corruption in Iraq and about the way in which corruption is being covered up and protected by al-Maliki's government and I would be amazed if some of that money for the Chinese weaponry doesn't matter to leak out some way or another.
Diane Rehm: At twenty-seven before the hour, you are listening to The Diane Rehm Show. Do you want to add to that, Keith?
Keith Richburg: Just to add, it's ironic that these weapons are supposedly going to be going to the Iraqi police which is the one unit that all US investigators going in there have said is the most corrupt, the most inept and basically should be abolished and reconstituted from scratch. Here's Talibani saying, "Actually we need weapons to arm this force."
Diane Rehm: Warren?
Warren P. Strobel: Yeah, absolutely. There was a hearing in Congress this week that highlighted the issue of corruption and a report, the State Department's own report, shows that virtually every ministry has just massive corruption problems. It's hard to believe that lots of the weapons won't end up in the street. It's hard to believe there won't be huge kickbacks, as Martin said, for the weapon sale.
A caller brought up Seymour Hersh's report that the administration is planning to start a war with Iran.
Diane Rehm: Didn't Sy Hersh also go on to say that many in the administration know we don't have the resources to go into Iran, Warren?
Warren P. Strobel: Which is true, we don't in any serious way. Diane, if I had a dollar for every tip I got, or every e-mail I got, or every caller I got that the administration was about to launch another war on Iran, I'd be a rich man. I think we have to be very careful here. Some people in the administration, close to it, say "yes," some say "no." Cheney is said to be pushing this -- I'm not so sure. I think it's a debate that's going to go on right till the very the end of administration.
Keith: I would just add, well, two things. First, I agree that the resources, the troops aren't there for an invasion. If you're talking about some kind of an airstrike, I would just say the most dangerous period I think you can be in is when you've got a lameduck president with nothing to lose, facing a military catastrophe in Iraq at the moment. And secondly, I find this demonization of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a new Hitler and a new dictator a bit curious because within Iran he's not a dictator. They're all kinds of other institutions that are keeping him relatively constrained including the various ayatollahs who actually run the country. He's not a dictator and also he's not incredibly and also he's not incredibly popular as well.
Martin Walker: There's another factor which tends to get forgotten here, which is that Iran has bought -- and had delivered last year -- from the Russians a state of art anti-aircraft missile system called the S300 which is probably better than the Patriot. Now that's now installed. It's being made operational. Even before that, I was told by a former head of the Air Force that the US Air Force would need a US air strike would need something like three days to suppress the anti-aircraft to be able to go in and hit the targets. What's going to happen on Capitol Hill in those three days on that kind of suppression of the anti-aircraft system? He would be impeached.
Keith: Just to add one quick thought there as well, I think one reason you can see the echo chamber of hostility towards Iran building is because
Diane Rehm: Could or would the US go to war against Iran without total Congressional support?
Keith: Well it depends on "What is war?" Are a series of air strikes war?
Diane Rehm: A series of air strikes.
Keith: Well I think some might argue that he needs Congressional approval, I think others might say that's within his perogative as commander-in-chief to do that. I think within Congress you're going to see a lot more, it's a Democratic Congress first of all, and you're already hearing a lot more people saying, "Wait a minute. North Korea has already exploded a nuclear bomb, Iran is still ten years away, why are they the greater threat?"
Martin Walker: Well it depends. I think one could certainly see and envisage some kind of provocations taking place or perhaps being concoted and engineered under which there's an exchange of fire on the border, US marines get arrested in the way that those British navel personnel were so you can see something being whipped up along those lines. But I was at, I was at an event, a social event recently with two former National Security Advisors and one of them said, "These guys ain't nuts." And the other one replied, "Yes, but they aren't sane either."
Which works as a transition to PBS' Bill Moyers Journal (Friday in most markets, check local listings -- and it's a listen, watch and read online after the episode airs) when Moyers explores the group Christians United for Israel and also speaks to Rabbi Michael Lerner and Dr. Timothy Weber on the topic of? Should the US strike Iran. A YouTube preview is up and, at the program's website, essays on the topic will be posted as well. Again, the hour long show begins airing on most PBS markets on Friday (check local listings -- and at the website, you can also locate the airtime for your local PBS station). Also Friday on most PBS markets, NOW with David Brancaccio airs their latest half hour installment and this week interview Michael Apted about his owngoing documentary where he tracks a group of British people every seven years, energy conversation will be addressed with a report on Decorah, Iowa and Ken Burns will be interviewed about his latest documentary The War. On October 12th, NOW with David Brancaccio will air a one hour program, "Child Brides: Stolen Lives" documenting "the heartbreaking global phenomenon of forced child marriage, and the hope behind breaking the cycle of poverty and despair it causes." They've created an e-Card you can send to friends and family or to yourself to provide a heads up to the broadcast (and there is no cost to send the e-Card). Last (and one time only) we're tossing a link to the Democratic magazine American Prospect. Due to the fact that it has David Bacon's "Mexican Miners' Strike for Life". Excerpt:
In a well-run mine, huge vacuum cleaners suck dust from the buildings covering the crushers, mills and conveyer belts. The Cananea miners call these vacuums colectores, or dust collectors. Outside the hulking buildings of the concentrator complex, those collection tanks and their network of foot-wide pipes are five stories tall. But many of the tanks have rusty holes in their sides the size of a bathroom window. And the pipes, which should lead into the work areas inside, just end in midair. None of the dust collectors, according to the miners' union, have functioned since the company shut them down in 1999.
So for the past eight years, the dust that should have been sucked up by the collectors has ended up instead in the miners' lungs. That is the most serious reason why the miners are out on strike. But there are other dangers. Many machines have no guards, making it easy to lose fingers or worse. Electrical panels have no covers. Holes are open in the floor with no guardrails. Catwalks many stories about the floor are slippery with dust and often grease, and are crisscrossed by cables and hoses. Not long ago, one worker tripped and fell five stories to his death onto a water pump below.
The community is a left community, it is diverse and American Prospect is geared towards Democrats. That's their right and we don't spend time knocking them for it. We're covering mainstream media and independent media and we really aren't able to note things from Democratic Party magazines because we do have Greens and other political party members. Bacon's written an important article -- that was the first and last exception for American Progress. (Short of them hiring Bacon to blog or to be a regular contributor. He's a labor beat reporter and there are so few of them that such a move would probably alter the above and members would be fine with it.)

Reuters covers the peace movement -- badly!
This is a joint-entry by C.I. and Elaine.
Reuters ran an interesting article today that had some observations worth thinking about and some 'facts' which were flat out wrong. The article is entitled "U.S. protests shrink while antiwar sentiment grows" and the byline credits Andy Sullivan.
Antiwar rallies drew hundreds of thousands of people at the war's start in 2003, although only 23 percent of Americans then said the invasion was a mistake, according to a USA Today/Gallup Poll. That figure is now 58 percent.
Yes, there pre-war rallies did turn out massive numbers and among the reasons were young people were lied to and hyped. They were told that just turning out would end the illegal war before it started. Getting the numbers out for those protests became more important for some than telling the truth. After the illegal war started, students and first time participants felt not only lied to but powerless as well. As a result, picking up the pieces was extremely difficult. Since there may or may not be a war launched on Iran, the peace movement should damn well learn a lesson and not again sell protests against an impending war as anything other than registering opposition.
Reuters argues that turn out in DC has "dwindled" and notes that a Troops Out Now Coalition rally in DC last weekend drew less than one-thousand. That figure may or may not be correct. The figure they offer here is incorrect: "Saturday's protest, sponsored by the Troops Out Now Coalition, came two weeks after an antiwar event sponsored by the ANSWER Coalition, which drew roughly 10,000 people." That figure is wrong and it's hard to believe it's wrong by accident. They contrast that with the January 2006 UPFJ rally -- featuring Iraq Veterans Against the War, Jane Fonda, Bob Watada, Susan Sarandon, Medea Benjmain, Sean Penn, Liam Madden and others. (See The Third Estate Sunday Review's "How Not To Stage A Rally.") Of that rally, Reuters notes, "United for Peace and Justice, which has tried to focus on ending the Iraq war, drew 100,000 people to a January protest." 100,000 at the start of the year, ANSWER only had 10,000 last month! It's a decrease!
But it's not. Refer to Associated Press' "100,000 March Against Iraq War in Washington: 200 Arrested in Dramatic Mass Die-In" and you see that "10,000" isn't correct for ANSWER's September rally.
This is a "trend story" and "trend stories" are notorius for fixing the facts. Troops Out Now Coalition may or may not have had a small turnout last weekend. ANSWER did not have a small turn out. We were there and it was 100,000 people. If Reuters were to include the actual figure, the "trend story" would fall apart which is why we believe an intentional decision was made to 'fix' the numbers.
Troops Home Now Coalition doesn't want to work with ANSWER. Well then live with numbers you get. ANSWER can put out a call and people do show up. ANSWER knows what it is doing. Some groups may not know what they are doing. We do not know that this is the case for Troops Home Now Coalition. We do know it is the case for the miserable rally in Fort Worth, Texas on September 1st. Despite big name speakers, including Cindy Sheehan, despite being held on a Saturday, the rally was sparsely attended (less than 300 was the estimate). We flew out to Texas, landed at DFW and did so because the organizers of that "rally" did a s**t poor job. They failed to get the word out. The Tuesday Iraq snapshot before the rally was the first announcement -- the organizers didn't even put out a press release until the Wednesday prior. They did not post fliers at the many public libraries in the Dallas - Fort Worth area. They did not visit the colleges to put up fliers or speak to students despite the fact that the area has many, many colleges. They had a designated media contact person at their website who did not respond to e-mails -- from individuals wishing to attend as well as from the big, mainstream press. They scheduled a nine to five event on what was for many people a day off. Instead of using a city that was well known to all in the surrounding areas (Dallas was the city to use), they went with Fort Worth. They instructed people to use public transportation. But Fort Worth has a bus system only and no bus dropped off at the rally site. Dallas has a bus system and it has a light rail. People from the surrounding areas could park at any of the train stations (as many commuters do) and catch a train had the event been held in Dallas. The rally itself started at 12:30 p.m. with the march to follow. On a hot, summer, Texas day they decide the noon time heat is the perfect time for a rally to be followed by a march. Yet, they also wanted people there as early as nine a.m. Instead of encouraging those willing to show up to attend, they issued a cry that you needed a ticket. You could print the ticket up online . . . if you had a printer. If you didn't have a printer, you needed to find one to attend. If you heard about the rally in casual conversation and did not have a computer, you better beg that stranger or acquaintence to print you up a ticket. With the organizers insistence on public transportation, how were people outside Fort Worth encouraged to get into the city? Via the Trinity Express -- a train that did not run as often as the organizers posted it did on their website.
Bad planning, failure to get the word out, failure to respond to requests to take pictures, failure to do anything other than book speakers led to a low turnout. Hopefully, none of these mistakes were made by the Troops Home Now Coalition but everyone's point in reporting "How Not To Stage A Rally" was to make sure that it was understood, if an event has low turnout, that's not necessarily a reflection on the public sentiment but it may be a reflection on the abilities of the organizers.
"The base that we work with was saying to us, 'We've been to Washington a lot in the last four years, we don't want to go to Washington again,'" national coordinator Leslie Kagan said.
Leslie Kagan? Is that Robert's sister?
Leslie "Cagan." C-A-G-A-N. With United For Peace and Justice. Leslie Cagan is correct. Those speaking on campuses have heard this complaint repeatedly throughout the year. Students complain (rightly) about having to skip work (a lot more students have to work their way through college these days and many are dependent upon weekend work hours due to class schedules), about having to raise money for trips when they're already struggling with the ever sky rocketing tuition, and about arriving for a big rally that ends up being the same speeches they've heard before and no real actions. Leslie Cagan is 100% correct and United For Peace and Justice demonstrated wisdom in calling for local actions next month. Hopefully, local organizers will actually work at getting a turn out and not just in lining up speakers for what turns out to be a private party.
United For Peace And Justice, as the article tells you, isn't sure whether or not it wants to work with ANSWER. It needs to decide pretty quick. Students are getting damn tired of it. If United For Peace and Justice doesn't want to work with ANSWER, many students could live with it. It wouldn't be the end for UPFJ. They might have a smaller turnout or they might not, but making a decision would be an improvement. As a student in Madison said last week, "It's like when Dad told us he was separating from Mom but they might get back together. We were strung along for months. They got a divorce. Just do it already, quit stringing us along." It should be noted that UPFJ will take the blame for the split. They are the 'parent' wanting to move on and seen as such. But a decision needs to be made because the repeated refusal to make a decision is getting on students nerves. Many feel a decision has already been made but they're being treated like children and not informed of the decision.
We're not saying that's what happened. We're not slamming UPFJ (or ANSWER). We are noting the mood on campuses. UPFJ can decide to work with ANSWER or not, but the attitude is a decision needs to be made.
We're not weighing in on the decision and appreciate the work that both organizations do individually and the work they've done when they've combined their resources.
We will, however, weigh in on one thing. Common Dreams has reposted the Reuters article. Others may end up reposting it as well. Leslie Cagan's name is mispelled and the number for ANSWER's turn out last month is a HUGE error. The Troops Home Now Coalition number may be a mistake as well. We did not attend or follow that rally. But when obvious mistakes are made in an article, at the very least a footnote is required. People trust Common Dreams and they will read the article there and assume that "10,000" is correct when it is not.
As to the issue the Reuters article skirts about splintering -- the peace movement is splintering. That's not necessarily a bad thing. A lot of "VOTE" groups have been wrongly billed as the peace movement. They push "VOTE DEMOCRAT." They are not the peace movement and students are aware of it. We both saw it during Vietnam, groups faded when they were timid or foolish. New groups sprung up to replace them.
Tina Richards' Grassroots America, Iraq Veterans Against the War and Military Families Speak Up are among the groups most admired on campus that were created after the illegal war began. Among student organization, SDS is the most talked about. They are admired because they call out Congress, not just the Republican side of the aisle. They are admired because they tell it like it is. They are seen as independent because they act independently. Norman Solomon and Phyllis Bennis have both repeatedly warned against the peace movement confusing itself with the Democratic Party. We join with them in saying that would be a huge mistake. It's dishonest and always has been but it's also a tactical mistake today because sentiment against the illegal war is so broad that it's not confined to Democrats and third parties who will put up with sitting in the back of the bus. Ralph Nader has consistently called out the illegal war. Any event that does not invite him to speak is making a mistake. At the ANSWER rally, there were boos last month when he started speaking. Nader's not a novice. He continued speaking and the applause when he finished was overwhelming.
On the subject of fears or hurt feelings, we condemn the article that FAIR ran in Extra! which whined about the attention Jane Fonda received for participating in the January rally. Sour grapes was how it read. Fonda has spoken out against the illegal war all along including doing a campus tour before the illegal war began. She has kept a low profile out of concerns that she might damage the effort. While that was very nice of her, it's a real shame that Extra! couldn't show the same niceness. Instead it was whine that Fonda got on the evening news. That all the TV clips showed her. As opposed to? Exactly how often does a peace rally get that kind of attention? Not very often. She put herself out there and she knew the right wing would slam her for it (which they did). The last thing she deserved was that snotty little piece in Extra! whining that she got attention. We were at the rally and she was the second most popular speaker [we wrote about that in "Show Me What Democracy Looks Like (1-27-07) "]. She reached a huge cross-section with her speech. (Bob Watada was the most popular speaker for those wondering -- Ehren Watada's father.) She put herself out there knowing the attacks would come. That FAIR elected to join in those attacks was very disappointing.
Yes, she is a two-time Oscar winning actress but she is also a lifelong activist and even in the 90s, when she feels she did little, she was working with the United Nations. Reducing her to an "actress" or, worse, a "Hollywood actress" dishonors her and all activists who have additional jobs. Fonda's clip did get massive attention from the TV industry and the clip came with audio. It was a powerful moment and that many not attending actually heard about the rally was a plus. There was no reason to treat it, as the Extra! article did, as a minus. No reason, that is, except sour grapes on the part of the author. As two who were active during Vietnam, we remember those same sour grapes about Fonda then as well. It was petty 'back in the day.' It's embarrassing as well as petty today when so few in the arts will use their voice to speak out. Slamming Fonda -- actress, feminist, best selling author, business woman, and actvist -- makes it all the more difficult to convince other artists to speak out. If you don't grasp the value in artists speaking out, you obviously have either forgotten the Vietnam era or didn't live through it. The right-wing has never forgotten and that's why they slam a Fonda or Penn or Janeane Garofalo or . . . .

Wednesday, October 3, 2007. Chaos and violence continue, Robin Long's supporters rally, more officials targeted in Iraq, and more.
Starting with war resistance. Yesterday, NDP (New Democratic Party of Canada) announced their support for war resister Robin Long arrested in Nelson British Columbia citing Olivia Chow (iimigration critic) and parliament member Alex Atamanenko (click here for release in English, here for release in French). The War Resisters Support Campaign also issued a statement of support. Today a support rally was held in Toronto. Timothy Schafer (Vancouver Sun) reported yesterday on Long's arrest "on Baker Street by police on a nation-wide warrant" according to Klaus Offermann who visited the jail to protest and tells Schafer that, "The city of Nelson is arrest-central for war resistors in Canada" -- referencing the February 23rd arrest of Kyle Snyder (hauled off in his boxers at the request of the US military). Today, Schafer (at Canada's Globe and Mail) cotinues covering the story and notes the cover story just issued by police chief Dan Maluta: Robin Long was smoking pot in public with four other people and that's why he was arrested! Of course the reality from eye witnesses is different and of course three others weren't arrested with Long. But it's more of the lies the Nelson city police have become famous for. Did that announced investigation in Maluta and the department ever get completed? Yes, it was signed to one of Maluta's personal friends, which should only mean the white wash moved even faster than usual. The cover story comes out after last night's strong show of support for Robin Long at the police station. Now LIAR Maluta said what about the arrest of Kyle Snyder? Oh, that's right, he repeated lies non-stop and that's why an investigation was required because it got so bad there was no doubt he was lying.
While Long is under attack in Canada, in the US Ehren Watada is scheduled to face court-martial number two next week -- despite the very clear Constitutional provision against double-jeopardy. Gregg K. Kakesako (Honolulu Star-Bulletin) reports that the court-martial is scheduled to begin next Tuesday, that Watada will be represented by Ken Kagan and James Lobsenz, that Watada service contract ended in December 2006 but the US military elected to extend it and that, "The Army has refiled four charges against Watada, including one count of missing a deployment and two counts of conduct unbecoming of an officer. Those counts cover statements Watada made criticizing the Iraq war and President Bush. Conviction on all counts could mean nearly eight years in prison and a dishonorable discharge." AP's brief story is only six sentences long. It will pop up everywhere which is why the factual mistakes in it are all the more glaring. Ehren Watada is the first officer to publicly refuse to deploy to the Iraq War. He will also be the first officer in which double-jeopardy is tossed out, in which the Constitution is completely shredded, if the second court-martial goes through. The more war resisters there are, the more nervous the military brass gets.
Turning to the topic of Blackwater, John M. Broder (New York Times) and Peter Spiegel (Los Angeles Times) got into a nasty slap fight today as both used their papers to argue, "No! I love Erik Prince more!" Broder apparently sat through yesterday's House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform fantasizing about Erik Prince (Blackwater CEO) instead of paying attention (maybe he's turned on by the crook of a neck?). Spiegel saw him as really, really cool and not suffering from the big head at all, but, like, a guy you can really, really talk to! which is why he referred to Prince answering "questions politely" -- in what world is repeatedly rolling your eyes, smirking and turning your head in disgust "polite"? Desperate to proclaim (in his very best Melrose Place manner), "Paws off, Petey, I saw Prince first," Broder raves over Prince's attire ("trim") and "blond hair" with "a fresh cut."
In the real world, Jeremy Scahill offered his evaluation of yesterday's hearing to Amy Goodman (Democracy Now!):
JEREMY SCAHILL: When Erik Prince stepped into the room, he was mobbed by photographers, and he came in, not with an army of armed mercenaries, but with an army of lawyers and advisers. And one of the people with him was Barbara Comstock, who's a well-known Republican operative and a crisis management consultant. Blackwater had the first and second rows basically empty behind Mr. Prince, with the exception of his team of advisers and his consiglieri, and an unidentified man on several occasions during the course of the hearing himself interrupted the hearings and asked Henry Waxman to be able to consult with Prince. And then, what would result from that is that Erik Prince would turn around, and his advisers and lawyers would pile around him like a sports team plotting out their next play. It was very dramatic.
And I think that the issue here is that the Democrats really, I feel, dropped the ball on many of the most important issues surrounding Blackwater. Yes, there were some important questions raised. But for the most part, they steered away from some of the most devastating and violent incidents involving the company. The ambush at Fallujah in March of 2004, for instance, wasn't addressed at all, except in passing. And there were a number of family members of the four Blackwater operatives who were killed in that incident. That's a crucial one for the Congress to investigate, not only because of the allegations that Blackwater sent those four men into Fallujah in unarmored vehicles, short two men, and without heavy weapons, but because of the enormous price that Iraqi civilians paid for the deaths of those four corporate employees, the Bush administration ordering the leveling of Fallujah and, of course, the inflammation of the Iraqi resistance. There are a number of other incidents that never came up in the hearing.
I think that what needs to happen is that Erik Prince needs to become a more frequent visitor to Capitol Hill than his industry lobbyists have been over the past several years, and his visits should always begin with his right hand raised and cameras in front of him.
In other news of violence, Robert Parry (Consortium News) explores the death squads Bully Boy has created for Iraq and Afghanistan. These are the "kill teams," the "bait and kill teams," the teams war resister James Burmeister went public on last June and the mainstream media 'discovered' last week. Parry writes, "The ugly image of Americans killing unarmed Iraqis also helps explain the growing hostility of Iraqis toward the presence of U.S. troops. While the Bush administration has touted the supposed improved security created by the 'surge' of additional U.S. troops into Iraq, a major poll found Iraqis increasingly object to the American occupation." On a related note, Steve Negus (Financial Times of London) reports: "US military officials in Baghdad on Wednesday defended their support of local anti-insurgent volunteer organisations, the day after the country's largest political bloc attacked the programme as an 'adventure' and accused participants of kidnap and murder. The controversy over the scheme, which is a centrepiece of the US military's new strategy in Iraq, has flared as these local alliances against al-Qaeda spread from their point of origin in the western province of al-Anbar to other Sunni and even some Shia parts of Iraq."
Yasser Faisal and Mussab Al-Khairalla (Reuters) report that Poland's General Edward Pietrzyk (ambassador to Iraq) was wounded in Iraq today in what the Polish government is calling "an assassination attempt" that also claimed the lives of at least one of Pietrzyk's bodyguards and one Iraqi civilian. NPR and AP report, "The attack took place a few hundred yards from the Polish embassy." Deborah Haynes (Times of London) notes the attack utilized three roadside bombs and that Pietrzyk "was being treated for burns at a hospital inside Baghdad's fortified Green Zone." CBS and AP put the bombs at two and note at least 11 more people were wounded in the bombings. CNN goes with three bombs being used in the attack and states that "three others in the entourage, including one of his bodyguards" were killed as well as "two Iraqi civilians". Katya Andrusz (Bloomberg News) reports being told by Robert Szaniawski (spokesperson for Poland's Foreign Ministry) that there were three bombs and Andrusz notes that while 53% of Poles were against the illegal war in January 2004, opposition now stands at 80%. Laith Hammoudi (McClatchy Newspapers) reports that the ambassador and his entourage "were leaving the Polish embassy" when the attack happened and also notes a Baghdad car bombing that claimed 2 lives (five more wounded), 1 dead from a Falluja bombing that left four more injured, and thirteen were wounding by a bombing "inside an in internet cafe" in Jalawa. Reuters notes the AIR WAR continues with "five suspected insurgent bombers" being shot dead by US helicopters in Baghdad, a Baquba mortar attack claimed 3 lives, while a Kirkuk roadside bombing claimed the life of 1 police officer (left another injured) -- Reuters also notes that yesterday saw "the local senior figure in Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council" shot dead in Ifach. DPA reports a roadside bombing claimed the life of 1 police officer in Kirkuk.
Laith Hammoudi (McClatchy Newspapers) reports "the official of tribes in Diwaniyah city local council" was shot dead in Qadisiyah. Reuters notes, "Three people were killed, including a girl student, during clashes between police and gunmen in Baquba" and a police captain was shot dead in Tikrit. KUNA reports an Iraqi "army officer was shot dead" in Mosul by unknown assailants "in a speeding car".
Laith Hammoudi (McClatchy Newspapers) reports 6 corpses discovered in Baghdad. Reuters notes a police officer's corpse was found in Ishaqi.
Turning to politics, The Peace Resister Katrina vanden Heuvel (you can use the link -- it's Common Dreams and KvH is providing plenty of laughter) is on her Barack bandwagon and determined to make sure that when her ass is finally kicked out of The Nation, no one else will touch her. KvH wants credit (she links to her self) for "an under-reported event" at the Council On/For Foreign Relations and considers her policy of under-disclosure (KvH probably 'reported' on it in real time due to the fact that she is a Council On/For Foreign Relations member). If a New York Times columnist attempted to give a 'shout out' to an organization they were a member of without disclosing it, it would be considered news. But maybe no one sees Katrina vanden Heuvel as a journalist? The friend I'm dictating this to says the comments left are hilarious so check those out: "Just another article from The Nation pandering to the impotent Democratic Party." And why is that? Or how about the recent commentary that borrowed heavily from The Search For Signs of Intelligent Life In The Universe -- Lily Tomlin and Jane Wagner's masterpiece -- from Trudee's scene at the end where the aliens tell her the audience was art. But is there really a need for this nonsense of cheerleading Barack Obama or (in Flanders' case) his supporters? Here's the thing (and include John Nichols and others in this -- in fact David Corn appears to be the only one at the magazine not wearing a "Barack Has My Vote And Body" t-shirt), this time next year, a HUGE number of people will be telling you that you have to vote for Candidate X -- whomever the Democratic Party nominates. You've got to, you've just got to, they'll insist sounding like a deranged Miss Manners. And for those who elect not to and decide to be upfront about that, they'll still hear the mantra: "Vote Democratic to save the Republic!" You'll get the faux sympathy, the nod of the head, and the same damn sermon trotted out every four years, "Well we'll do that next time but vote Democratic, it's really, really important." If Candidate X is a War Hawk (very likely since Hillary Clinton, Obama and John Edwards refuse to promise that, if elected president, they would end the illegal war by the end of their first four years), you'll be told to hold your nose and vote for someone who disgusts you and that 'next time' everyone will get it together to make sure it doesn't happen. Those speeches were given in 2004 too. The Nation proves those speeches are hollow (at best) or flat out lies (at worst). They started their 2008 presidential coverage days before the November 2006 election took place and what do they have to show for it? Not a damn thing. The magazine hates Hillary Clinton and appears to see Barack Obama as having the best shot to take her out. So they've pushed Obama like crazy. Even though he's a War Hawk who is on record being against withdrawal since 2004. Had they used the last months (or the ones remaining) to cover Dennis Kucinich, Mike Gravel or Bill Richardson they wouldn't be playing the lesser of two evils currently. They're playing it in the primary and they'll play it in the general election. (And the Green Party will be as non-covered by the magazine as it was in 2004 or 2006.) "Power" to The Nation has meant "Do anything to take Hillary out." It's really disgusting. Kucinich has been covered more by our own Trina (who blogs once a week) than by The Nation. That's not just print, that's "online exclusives" and blog posts. Even lumping all of that together, Trina's still provided more coverage of Dennis Kucinich in 2007 (with her once a week posts) than The Nation. Sharon Smith (CounterPunch) does a good summary of Kucinich versus the press reinforced candidates. She notes the 2004 cave by Kucinich (Democratic National Convention) and thinks expecting a similar cave in 2008 isn't going out on a limb. One factor she may miss on that is Kucinich may not be a House candidate. By the time of the Democratic National Convention, Kucinich may have lost the primary for his House seat (the party is offering 'advise' to his opponent). If that happens, there should be very little reason for Kucinich to back down from his supporters demands. Regardless, and here's the point, in 2008, your vote is your vote. Vote for who you want (or don't vote, your business). And if you hear the "Hold Your Nose" speech and don't wish to hold your nose, just remember that The Nation elected to ignore candidates offering real opposition to the illegal war. Their anti-stories have revolved repeatedly around Hillary Clinton and their pro-coverage has been Obama (after earlier flirting with John Edwards). Free press? Be great to have one but let's not pretend we do as not one of them will tell you the truth about Barack Obama but will let him continue to repeat his stale talking point of being against the war (he doesn't say "illegal") before it began without ever noting the very obvious fact that, once he began his 2004 Senate campaign, he was on record as against withdrawal. That's why no one should be surprised that -- despite all the hype for an empty suit -- he declared in last week's 'debate' that, if elected, he couldn't promise to end the illegal war by the end of his first term.
In the new issue of The Progressive (October 2007), Ruth Conniff contributes "Doing the Hillary Dance" (pp. 16-17). She notes US House Rep Tammy Baldwin is on board with support for Hillary even thought it means "on the Iraq War, Baldwin gives Clinton a pass." For the piece, Conniff also interviews Iraq Veterans Against the War's Garrett Reppenhagen and the Center for Media and Democracy's John Stauber. Conniff notes that Reppenhagen "has hopes that the Internet could be a powerful tool for getting the U.S. out of Iraq. Now a member of Iraq Vets Against the War, he doesn't want to see the blogosphere hijacked by the Democratic Party." He tells Conniff, "I worry because more and more people start endorsing candidates and we become like sports enthusiasts." Stauber, who was refused a forum on Iraq by The Daily Toliet Scrubbers (but created a forum on his own), "concurs. As Stauber sees it, the idea that the Democrats, if only they can get elected, will end the war is 'just the blue Kool-Aid talking'." Stauber tells Conniff, "There's a delusion that there are going to be sweeping reforms once the Democrats have more power. But looking back over the last several decades, I don't see any reason for that optimism."
Finally, Amy Goodman (Democracy Now!) opened her conversation with Norman Solomon today by quoting from his new book Made Love, Got War: Close Encounters with America's Warfare State, "The warfare state doesn't come and go. It can't be defeated on Election Day. Like it or not, it's at the core of the United States -- and it has infiltrated our very being." From their conversation today:
NORMAN SOLOMON: Just a few minutes ago, we heard a clip from the Blackwater hearing yesterday about the way in which, supposedly, Blackwater, as one Congressperson put it, a Democrat, a critic of Blackwater, said that Blackwater is undermining the US mission in Iraq. And all too often the insidious nature of the warfare state gets us to at least tacitly accept the idea that there is something in that mission to be supported. And yet, $2 billion a day going into the Pentagon's coffers, that's our money. That's money that should belong to the people of this country for healthcare, education, housing.
And yet, we are tamped down, our numbing process, which is part of the warfare state, gets us to be passive, to accept. And often, you know, Amy, I travel around the country. I talk with people. Many are concerned. They watch this program. They're active. We get in a room. There's fifty, there's five, there's five hundred people. And often, the question comes up: "Well, aren't we just preaching to the choir?" And that is a concern. We have to go outside our own constituencies as progressives. But the reality is that the choir needs to learn to sing better, to challenge more fundamentally the warfare state, because right now it's our passivity, our acculturated acceptance, that's causing so much damage.
AMY GOODMAN: Do you really think that it's a choir right now that is a very confined to a certain group of people? I mean, in this country now, the level of opposition to the war in Iraq, doesn't it go far beyond any particular category of people?
NORMAN SOLOMON: The opposition is registered in opinion polls, but largely quiescent, and if we look at the progression of the Vietnam War, year after year, from the late '60s through the first years of the '70s, opinion polls show that most Americans were opposed to the war, even felt it was immoral. You fast-forward to this decade, for years now most polls have shown most people are opposed. But what does that mean? Our political culture encourages us to be passive, not to get out in the streets, not to blockade the government war-making offices, not to go into the congressional offices and not leave, not to raise our voices in impolite or disruptive ways. We have to become enemies of the warfare state, not in a rhetorical way, but in a way that speaks to the American people in terms of where our humane values are and should be.

Sick of all of it
TORONTO -- Following the arrest of US war resister Robin Long yesterday in Nelson, B.C., NDP immigration critic Olivia Chow (Trinity-Spadina) and NDP MP Alex Atamanenko (British Columbia Southern Interior) are calling on the Harper government to reexamine their decision to deport Long and allow him to stay in Canada.
"Canada has always been a country that stands up for basic human rights. Conscientious objectors who have fled George W. Bush’s illegal war in Iraq should be allowed to stay," said Chow.
"Two war resisters' cases are currently before the Supreme Court of Canada," pointed out Atamanenko. "No one should be arrested or deported before the Court has a chance to make a decision."
Robin Long, from Boise, Idaho, received his orders in March 2005 and left for Canada the following June, believing the war in Iraq was illegal. He lives in Canada with his Canadian partner Renee and their young son. The Immigration and Refugee Board did not find his claims to be untruthful but ruled against his case and his deportation is imminent.
"Canada has always been a place of refuge for war resisters who refuse to fight in illegal wars," noted Chow. "From Vietnam to now, Canada has a proud and distinguished history of putting justice first, and allowing people of conscience to seek refuge in our country. Canada has to release Mr. Long and allow him to stay in Canada."
Chow noted that a recent poll taken in Ontario showed that almost two thirds of Ontarians believe that Canada should allow war resisters to stay in Canada.
That is "NDP calling for the release of US war resister Robin Long" and it should make you very angry. The same police went after Kyle Snyder. I believe they are also the ones who escorted two US military people around and let the US military pose as Canadian police officers while they asked about Joshua Key's where abouts.
Now can someone tell me where the hell independent media is?
I heard Sy Hersh embarrass himself yet again today on Democracy Now! as he went on and on about the war on Iran that he's been covering since 2004 despite the fact that it still hasn't broken out. Possibly that's why he was providing cover for Robert Gates and insisting Gates would make a great Secretary of Defense? Possibly his mind has cracked?
Three years of filing reports on a war that still hasn't started. Imagine if he'd spent that time covering reality? He broke the Abu Ghraib story -- sort of. It was well known long before he covered it. Independent media was already reporting it before he got to it. There's also the fact that he claims a child was sodomized and that rapes took place.
Claims? Well he didn't bother to write about that. He'd already moved on to Iran but every now and then, in a speech, he'll talk about that. How very useless Hersh is.
Now if he has proof of rapes (I am sure rapes did occur), as a reporter isn't it his responsibility to write about it?
Instead, he's blown three years covering Iran.
His reports haven't accomplished a damn thing. Someone needs to break the news to him. But instead of covering an ongoing war, he's stuck to "The War With Iran Is About to Break Out" . . . for three years.
If Bully Boy leaves office without starting a war with Iran, will he realize then how much time he wasted? It shouldn't take that. A real reporter should grasp that whether or not a war with Iran starts tomorrow, wasting three years saying, "The war's about to start! The war's about to start!" is the biggest jerk off in the world when an illegal war is ongoing and you're not covering it.
There's another point here. Everytime he wastes our time with another of his unsourced, unnamed reports, it prepares the public for war with Iran. It prepares us all to accept it. Because after three years of him and Pig talking it up, there's a level of acceptance about it in the public. People may not want it, but there's no shock if it does come to pass. This is similar to a point Elizabeth De La Vega was making with regards to Scooter Libby. Immediately, people began writing things (over and over) about how Bully Boy would pardon him. They were letting the public grow accustom to it. When it came, the pardon, it was far less offensive and far less shocking than it would have been if we hadn't had so many on the left doing a roll out for the pardon day after damn day.
Today, Sy Hersh was back on Democracy Now! again to talk about the war on Iran again and this was his who knows what appearence. But Robin Long?
He's not news to Democracy Now! He's not to be covered. Or James Burmeister. Or Ross Spears or Eli Israel or the three Kamunen brothers who all reached the decision to self-check out. Kyle Snyder being arrested NEVER got mentioned -- even in a headline -- on Democracy Now! That's sick, that's disgusting and when they bring Sy Hersh (sainted Sy) back on again to chat about a war that has STILL not started, they waste all of our time.
Democracy Now! is far from alone. But I'm sick of it. I'm sick of lazy independent media that can't cover Iraq seriously. I'm sick of hearing about wars that haven't started when I can't get coverage of a war that's going on.
I'm sick of Sy Hersh talking about the latest whispers he's gotten when Kevin Benderman and Monica Benderman have a book out and who the hell is interviewing them?
Kevin Benderman going to prison isn't a hypothetical. It happened. He was railroaded. He stood up to the military brass and they tried to destroy him. He (and Monica) were too strong to be destroyed. But others would have been and you can be sure others have.
Instead of another lengthy segment of Speculation With Sy, I would strongly suggest that independent media attempt to live in the reality based world and start covering what's actually going on around us.
Not stroking fears and, let's be honest, that's all this Iran nonsense is from the left. It's no different than Bully Boy's ridiculous terrorist chart where we're in the yellow or the red or whatever.
I'm sick of it. I'm sick of CODEPINK's nonsense of Stop the War with Iran!
I'm sick of all the nonsense I'm seeing, I'm sick of all the crap I'm seeing. I'm sick of the fact that an illegal war isn't interesting enough to independent media to cover so they will instead cover things that MIGHT HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE.
Is it Democracy Now! or is it Dionne Warwick's Psychic Hour?
News is what happens. News isn't unsourced speculation about something that might happen. Pig and Sy have told us for three years now that war with Iran would break out any minute. It still hasn't but haven't that eaten up airtime and print space with their nonsense?
For those who wonder why we haven't been able to force Congress to end the illegal war it's because we aren't focused and we drop everything to rush off on another tangent.
NOW drops their anti-war stance to endorse Hillary Clinton (the NOW Pac endorsed her) and the illegal war drops off their radar. (Last month, they sent out an alert at the last minute. It was the first time they'd bothered to consider the illegal war since endorsing Hillary months and months ago.) CODEPINK wants us to focus on the Iran war that has not started. There are about 100 pet causes that get pushed every other week and an ongoing illegal war -- an actual war -- has to repeatedly take back seat to all of that and to speculation that another war might start.
I'm sick of it and I'm sick of all the useless asses.
C.I. can correct me on this if I'm wrong but the way I remember Hersh before Ring Around Congress (during Vietnam) was amused. Amused in the lead up. That wasn't 'amusing.' But maybe that's what he needed, the chuckles. Laughing at threats -- very real threats -- and treating it with bemusement? If so, that attitude is now the hallmark of Hersh as a 'reporter.' Not unlike his pumping people for sex details about JFK for that book. His eyes would glaze over when he could get one of those stories. He appears, more and more, to be an entertainment junkie. He needs to be entertained.
The illegal war doesn't entertain him. The next renewal note I get from The New Yorker will be returned with a note I scrawl across it, "I don't waste my money on hypotheticals."
Robin Long is arrested and the really sh**y thing is most Americans don't know who he is. The reason for that is because independent media couldn't make time for war resisters. They are disgusting and they will beg for money and they will gladly bleed you dry. They got millions out of C.I. in the 70s. C.I. gave every cent away (also gave to causes) and the end result? They didn't do damn thing with it. That's not true. They got some nice offices, they got some staff, they got to play like they were 'professional' and the more 'professional' they played, the more cowardly they became and the more they refused to cover the stories that matter.
The biggest problem, the biggest obstacle today, is our independent media. People honestly wanting to create change are steered towards Obama or Clinton or someone else. An empty suit stuffed with corporate money. If the bulk of them went belly up tomorrow, I don't know that we'd suffer a loss. They have wasted the last four years repeatedly.
"Let's try partitioning the US" (Linda S. Heard, Gulf News via Information Clearing House):
As if they haven't done enough damage bombing and invading a country on false pretences, destroying its culture and leaving it a charred shell of its former self, they - American lawmakers who gave President George W. Bush authority to go to war - now want to divide Iraq up into easily manageable bite size entities.
Isn't Iraq supposed to be a sovereign nation with an elected government? If so, then why is the US Senate attempting to meddle in its affairs by overwhelmingly passing a resolution calling for the country's partition into three, which is tantamount to ethnic cleansing? Not to put too fine a point the shape of Iraq to come isn't their business.
Moreover, even if they had a stake in the country they are responsible for destroying, which they certainly do not, American senators who may or may not have enjoyed a two-day jaunt to Baghdad's Green Zone are not qualified to be the deciders.
The Iraqi government was quick to put a damper on the proposal. Its spokesman Ali Al Dabbagh said "It's the Iraqis who decide these sorts of issues, no-one else".
According to a recent ABC/BBC poll a mere nine per cent of Iraqis favour the break-up of their country.
The Arab League was equally condemnatory. Its Iraq representative Ali Al Garush called upon Arab nations to stand by the Iraqi people in their opposition to the proposal.
Secretary-General of the GCC Abdul Rahman Al Attiyah said partition would make the situation in Iraq more difficult and complicated. Official statements from Syria and Iran were even more scathing.
With so much Iraqi and regional hostility against the plan what are those 75 senators that voted in favour of it thinking? It was Democratic Senator Joseph Biden a presidential hopeful who initiated the vote.
Biden explained his rationale during a news conference. He maintains his proposal offers a way to bring home American troops while leaving behind a stable Iraq. It's evident that his thinking is based on a series of false premises.
Ron Jacobs has written about that. Was it seriously addressed by independent media? See any cover stories? Hear any hour long discussions.
The net will probably be killed off (in it's current form) in a matter of years but the online sites have been the only place you could find reality. Not at the "big" independent media (magazines and programs). They've wasted four years.
If there was a revolution tomorrow, they'd all be beheaded publicly for their crimes of apathy and distraction.
Tuesday, October 2, 2007. Chaos and violence continue, war resister Robin Long is arrested by the same creeps who pulled the stunt earlier with Kyle Snyder, Blackwater's Erik Prince testifies to Congress, the UK announces a drawdown, the US Congress (Democratically led) keeps buying into the illegal war, and more.
Starting with war resistance. Robin Long was arrested yesterday. War resister Long went to Canada in June 2005. He applied for refugee status. Like everyone who has applied thus far, Long was denied. The New Democratic Party of Canada issues a statement "calling on the [prime minister Stephen] Harper government to reexamine their decision to deport Long and allow him to stay in Canada." It's noted that Long "lives in Canada with his Canadian partner Renee and their young son." So the Canadian government has arrested Long, intending to deport him and thereby split up a family. Olivia Chow points to "a recent poll taken in Ontario [which] showed that almost two thirds of Ontarians believe that Canada should allow war resisters to stay in Canada." The War Resisters Support Campaign notes that the poll was "conducted by phone from June 5 to 11, 2007" and that "close to two thirds of Ontarians favour letting US Iraq War resisters settle in Canada" and that polling was "conducted by the national research firm Strategic Communications Inc". Shirley Douglas (who worked her butt of during Vietnam and is as dedicated today) is quoted declaring, "This poll shows that the Canadian tradition of welcoming Americans who dissent from the policies of war is still important to us. The Canadian government should move now to make it possible for the war resisters to settle in this country, as so many did during the Vietnam War." The Christian Radical notes that Nelson was "arrested by the Nelson B.C. Police who intend to take him to Vancouver and hand him over to the US authorities at the border nearby. He was seized as he walked along a street. He is now detained in the local jail. Robin was not allowed to receive visits from friends; however he was able to call his spouse. She says that he is calm and hopeful that he will soon be released." The is the same Nelson B.C. Police that arrested Kyle Snyder on the orders of the US military -- in direct violation of Canadian soveriegnty. In the US, Gregory Levey (Salon) becomes the first at a US news outlet to cover that and he is also the last because it's just too much work for independent media apparently. Now a similar thing has happened to Robin Long. Exactly when the hell does independent media in the United States intend to do its damn job? The Christian Radical notes: "The War Resisters Support Campaign is urging all our friends and supporters to CALL THE NELSON POLICE AT 250-354-3919 AND TELL THEM TO RELEASE ROBIN LONG. We urge you as well to contact your local Member of Parliament and ask her or him to help release Robin."
Along with Kyle Snyder being arrested in a similar stunt (on his wedding day), the US military itself crossed over into Canada and posed as Canadian police officers -- harassing Winnie Ng at her home and demanding to know where war resister Joshua Key was. As independent media in this country -- including the "Nobody owns The Nation" useless piece of crap -- has refused to cover this story, the US has grown ever more bold about issuing orders to lackeys in Canada who aren't concerned with upholding Canadian law, just with being suck ups to the United States.
There is a growing movement of resistance within the US military which includes James Stepp, Matthew Lowell, Derek Hess, Diedra Cobb, Brad McCall, Justin Cliburn, Timothy Richard, Robert Weiss, Phil McDowell, Steve Yoczik, Ross Spears, Zamesha Dominique, Chrisopther Scott Magaoay, Jared Hood, James Burmeister, Eli Israel, Joshua Key, Ehren Watada, Terri Johnson, Carla Gomez, Luke Kamunen, Leif Kamunen, Leo Kamunen, Camilo Mejia, Kimberly Rivera, Dean Walcott, Linjamin Mull, Agustin Aguayo, Justin Colby, Marc Train, Abdullah Webster, Robert Zabala, Darrell Anderson, Kyle Snyder, Corey Glass, Jeremy Hinzman, Kevin Lee, Mark Wilkerson, Patrick Hart, Ricky Clousing, Ivan Brobeck, Aidan Delgado, Pablo Paredes, Carl Webb, Stephen Funk, Blake LeMoine, Clifton Hicks, David Sanders, Dan Felushko,Brandon Hughey, Clifford Cornell, Joshua Despain, Joshua Casteel, Katherine Jashinski, Dale Bartell, Chris Teske, Matt Lowell, Jimmy Massey, Chris Capps, Tim Richard, Hart Viges, Michael Blake, Christopher Mogwai, Christian Kjar, Kyle Huwer, Wilfredo Torres, Michael Sudbury, Ghanim Khalil, Vincent La Volpa, DeShawn Reed and Kevin Benderman. In total, forty-one US war resisters in Canada have applied for asylum.
Blackwater USA. Today, Erik Prince -- CEO of the mercenary company -- popped into Congress for a hearing on the issue of private security in Iraq held by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform chaired by Rep Henry Waxman. Prince fidgeted throughout, used the phrase "I don't know" repeatedly, showed his disdain for Congress by frequently rolling his eyes, smirking and, when Rep Peter Welch was questinging him, combined the two with an extended head turn to the right and away from Welch. With his disain on full display, the obvious question was for committee members to ask him about his physical presentation. No one did. A lot of representatives wasted time. Rep Diane Watson was the best example of wasted time on the Democratic side and Prince's nonstop smirks during that exchange may have been warranted as Watson went on and on (about topics that had nothing to do with Blackwater such as the MoveOn ad and Rush Limbaugh) only to suddenly declare "And so my question to you" before going back to yammering on. Each time she would say "my question to you," Was there a point to her remarks? It was the embarrassment from the Democratic side as she seemd determined to deliver a free association monologue. Each time she would use the term "question," Prince would lead forward, open his mouth, then close it because Watson wasn't interested in an answer and wasn't interested in getting to a question. What was her point? Who knows with lines like "You are providing a service." At one point, around the fourth or fifth time Prince had leaned in to answer only to grasp she wasn't yielding, he looked around and as if he was about to laugh. Across America -- to the left, to the right, to the center -- many others may have been laughing as well.
On the Republican side? They win as ensemble, too many did far too much for just one to be signaled out. Top honors within the ensemble go to Lynn Westmoreland who wasted everyone's time by putting on his glasses and reading his remarks from prepared text. If you can write down everything ahead of time, don't even show up, just fax your prepared remarks to the media. And that was honestly a problem for most. Those who didn't so obviously read from their prepared remarks for their entire allotted time also didn't appear to listen too closely. That was true regardless of political party. Democrats John Sarbanes and Peter Welch deserve (positive) notice for questions and comments that demonstrated they were aware of what had been asked as well as what had been asked but not answered. Bruce Braley (Democrats) also deserves credit for not wasting his allotted time with a bunch of sop but instead tearing away at the issue of the laws that would or would not govern Blackwater in Iraq -- tearing away at the topic and refusing to let go. Noting the Blackwater employee -- allegedly drunk, who shot dead an Iraqi bodyguard on Christmas Eve 2006 (the committee agreed not to ask about the September 16th incident where Blackwater slaughtered at least 11 innocent Iraqis at the request of the Justice Department) and what passed for 'punishment' --Braley pointed out the message to take away was, "If I screw up . . . the worst that's going to happen is I have to give up a window seat for an aisle seat."
Braley was referring to the fact that Blackwater didn't discipline him. Prince repeatedly -- throughout the hearing -- would immediately go to flogging insisting (over and over) "We can't flog". The inablity to flog appears to be a big issue with Prince. Prince explained (at several points) that -- though they couldn't flog -- what Blackwater did with the employee was pull his plane ticket, withheld the employee's paycheck and the employee's bonus. Prince -- falling back on the flogging -- declared that Blackwater did all they could. Witholding earned wages is supposed to be against the law so it's a shame no one asked Prince what law Blackwater was operating under when they made that decision. A bonus can be given or taken away and any dispute over it can be handled by the courts but earned wages are earned wages and companies do not have the right to withold them.
What Price left out was that the employee didn't just leave. He was proud that the employee's security clearence was pulled. But he failed to show the public his pride over the fact that Blackwater hustled the employee out of Iraq before any serious questions could be asked. Price -- noting he watches crime shows on TV -- begged off ruling whether it was murder, homicide or manslaughter but didn't quibble that, in fact, it was a crime. That being the case, why an employee who had committed a serious crime was being whisked out of Iraq is a question he should have been asked repeatedly.
The point Braley was making was US service members -- in the same situation -- would be facing a court-martial but all the Blackwater employee basically lost was a window seat on the trip home. Throughout it at all, regardless of any question other than about his time in the US Navy Seals, Prince repeatedly fell back on "I don't know." On violence, on whether Chilean thugs who worked for Pinochet were now working for Blackwater (Jan Schakowsky brought that issue up and hit hard repeatedly on the human rights issue), what the make up of the Blackwater force in Iraq was, etc. It was left to Chris Murphy (after many had left the hearing -- press and committee members) to state the obvious, "Certainly as CEO you can tell us what your profit has been?" No, he couldn't.
But he could indicate that he believes Blackwater employees are destroying Blackwater equipment intentionally. That probably wasn't his intent but he declared, to Murphy, that "Our helicopters get fragged." "Frag" is internal not external. If the Blackwater helicopters are being "fragged" then the "fragging" would have to be done by a Blackwater worker. Listening to Prince go on and on about Blackwater's "costs" What costs? That's a serious question. Replacing a helicopter? Well talk to anyone in the trucking industry or the delivery industry and they'll tell you equipment's replaced all the time. But the point was driven home best when Jan Schakowsky was asking (repeatedly) how Blackwater checks out their employees. According to Prince, they basically just run Social Security numbers. So Glory, Glory Private Business . . . as it still depends upon all the tools of the federal government. As Henry Waxman noted in his opening statement, "Over the past 25 years, a sophisticated campaign has been waged to privatize government services. The theory is that corporations can deliver government services better and at a lower cost than government can. Over the last six years, this theory has been put into practice. The result is that privatization has exploded. For every taxpayer dollar spent on federal programs, over 40 cents now goes to private contractors. Our government now outsources even the oversight of the outsourcing. At home, core government functions -- like tax collection and emergency response -- have been contracted out. Abroad companies like Halliburton and Blackwater have made billions performing tasks that used to be done by our nation's military forces. What's been missing is a serious evaluation of whether the promises of privatizing are actually realized." Instead of addressing the reality, Prince elected to play like he didn't know, couldn't recall and invent fantasies. Such as when he wanted to tale the tale of his proudest moment of life. Picture it, if you could, because he couldn't. A man, an officer, unnamed, but this is the most vivid moment of Prince's life, right? So the officer tells him that all the troops serving under him know that if they get into trouble into Iraq, call Blackwater first. A lie and an obvious one. But if Prince wants to stick by it, then the US military might want to address policy with those serving because troops do NOT first call mercenaries when they are in need of help. In fact, to do so is a violation of the chain of command.
House Rep and 2008 presidential Democratic hopeful Dennis Kucinich attempted to seriously address the issue of the contracts Blackwater has been awarded by the federal government. He raised serious issues (including the huge increase Blackwater sees each year -- $48 million in 2004, $500 million last year). Prince told Kucinich these weren't "no bid" contracts, that Kucinich misunderstood. He fell back on that repeatedly allowing him to avoid Kucinich's questions. Then, after several other members had their turn at questioning, Prince wanted to clarify the record, turns out some of those contracts he was declaring weren't no-bid, were no-bid contracts.
It was very similar to his appalling response to US service members being scapegoated for the actions of Blackwater: "I don't believe that false story lasted in the media for more than a few hours." But when you're attempting to hustle someone out of the country, every hour counts. And what's a lie to Blackwater? Prince did the same thing with Kucinich's questions. He lied. Then, after he'd eated up the time on the clock, he would clarify his statements on the no-bid contracts. In fairness, if Prince is the idiot he pretended for the committee, then his lawyer assisted him because his attorney (seated to the left of him) was advising him throughout. But that is Blackwater for you. Lying doesn't matter if they correct it . . . after they've gotten what they wanted whether it's time to whisk an employee out of the country or to run down the clock on questions.
He smirked when the e-mail on the shooting was read, when "At least the ID of the shooter will take the heat off us" was read into the record. The heat was off Blackwater and it was placed on the US service members. But Prince thinks it's fine because it -- the lie -- was just out there for "a few hours." At another point, Prince would declare (of this same incident), "Look, I'm not going to make any apologies." No, he wasn't going to. And that he hasn't been forced to goes to how little accountability there is. Which is why he could also declare, "I believe we acted appropriately at all times."
If there was a more appalling moment than that -- to hear a CEO responsible for a company where an employee killed someone (they were focusing on the one death) declare he had no apologies to make -- it was when Mike Turner elected to whine about all the sympathy being shown. Why, he insisted, no one was even noting al-Qaeda. The issue wasn't al-Qaeda. The issue was a US company (of mercenaries) are harming Iraqi civlians (specific instances cited), not facing any punishment for it and it's the US service members that get blamed for it and have to deal with the further hostilities. But Turner -- who appeared genuinely stupid -- couldn't grasp that at and let his whine continue to declare that the focus on Iraqi civilians killed by Blackwater bothered him because "I think it crosses the line between our team and their team." Fortunately for Turner, there were other moments that people will probably zoom in on.Such as Lynn Westmoreland's crack-pot theories about a menace (Red?) in cahoots with trial attorneys across the nation. Thankfully, Westmoreland assured the country that this unnamed menace was not serving in the legislative branch ("There is a party not in Congress . . .").Less concerned with finger pointing within the halls of Congress, Darrell Issa attempted to paint the entire motive for the hearing as partisan, insisting that the hearing was being held because Blackwater has given so much money to Republicans. Erik Prince rejected that, noting, "Blackwater is not a partisan company." It flew over Issa's head. "I think you're exactly right!" Issa crowed, ignoring what Prince had just stated, and insisting this was an attempting to turn it into a partisan issue. Henry Waxman rightly pointed out, "The only one who's done that is you."Christopher Shays, before all but falling to his knees to praise the military, declared, "I was a conscientious objector. I was in the Peace Corp!"
As noted earlier, the September 16th slaughter was taken 'off the table'. Demetri Sevastopulo (Financial Times of London) reports that the FBI's plans to open an investigation into the incident ("last month shot and killed 11 Iraqi civilians") and "send a team to Iraq to assist a State department investigation." There are plenty of witnesses for them to talk to. Jomana Karadsheh and Alan Duke (CNN) report that the Iraqi police officer operating in the square asserts Blackwater "became terrorists" and that "they entered the square, throwing water bottles at the Iraqi police posted there and driving in the wrong direction." The police officer explains, "I saw parts of the woman's head flying in front of me, blow up and then her entire body was charred. What do you expect my reaction to be? Are they protecting the country? No. If I had a weapon I would have shot at them."
After Eric Prince completed his testimony, the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform heard from US ambassadors David M. Satterfiled, Richard J. Griffin and William H. Moser. This aspect of the hearing was much shorter than Prince's and that may be due to the fact that even the most basic questions from US Representatives were met with obstruction from the three employees of the State Department. As Jan Schakowsky declared during her questionign, "I have heard all of that." One typical exchange went Q: "Are you refusing to answer" A: "I'm not able to confirm the details."
Hussein Kadhim (McClatchy Newspapers) reports a Baghdad roadside bombing claimed the life of 1 police officer (five more wounded), while 5 other Baghdad roadside bombing claimed 2 lives (twelve wounded). Reuters notes a Khalis bomber killed himself as well 4 civilians "outside a police station" (one woman and one child were among the four dead) and a Jalawla roadside bombing left eleven injured. KUNA reports 6 dead with ten more injured in an Al-Khalis car bombing.
Reuters notes "a businessman and his son" were shot dead in Wihda while "primary school teacher Alaa al-Zubaidi" was shot dead in Suwayra, one person was shot dead in Hilla, an armed struggle in Abbasi claimed 2 lives
Hussein Kadhim (McClatchy Newspapers) reports 9 corpses were discovered in Baghdad. Reuters notes 2 corpses discovered outside Kirkuk.
Meanwhile, Mark Deen and Kitty Donaldson (Bloomberg News) report, "Prime Minister Gordon Brown, preparing for a possible election in the U.K., said he plans to pull 1,000 troops out of Iraq by the end of this year. The withdrawal would leave about 4,250 U.K. soldiers stationed near the city of Basra and put Iraqi forces in charge of day-to-day security across the south of the country." AFP notes, "In policy terms, Brown has so far shown little divergence from Blair on Iraq, although he has accepted the issue has been politically 'divisive' and that 'mistakes' were made in the post-war planning and reconstruction."
Meanwhile, Juan Gonzalez (Democracy Now!) notes, "The Democratic-led Senate has voted to authorize spending another $150 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Senate passed the spending measure by a 92 to 3 vote. Democrats Robert Byrd of West Virginia and Russ Feingold of Wisconsin and Republican Tom Coburn of Oklahoma voted against the war spending. While the Senate bill authorizes the money to be spent, it does not guarantee it. President Bush will have to wait until Congress passes a separate appropriations bill before war funds are transferred to military coffers." On Bill Moyers Journal (last Friday in most markets and available online A/V and transcript) the issue of the financial costs of the illegal war were addressed:
BILL MOYERS: You said the other day to someone that we think we can fight the war in Iraq without paying for it. JOHN BOGLE: Well, we borrow the money to fight the Iraq War by some estimates and they're not absurd estimates is running now towards a $1 trillion. We could be doing what the British empire did. We could be bankrupting ourselves in the long run. And-- BILL MOYERS: You see us as an empire? JOHN BOGLE: Well, of course it's an empire. We reach all over the world. We thought of ourselves in many, many respects as the policemen of the world. God knows we know we're the policemen of the Middle East. And there are those say, even from Alan Greenspan on up or down, that oil is the root of that. I mean, these are great societal questions. Protecting oil, which is in turn polluting the atmosphere.We have problems as a society. And we don't have to surrender to them. But, we have to have a little introspection about where we are in America today. We've go to think through these things. We've got to develop a political system that is not driven by money. I mean, these are societal problems for us that don't have any easy answers.But you don't have to be an economist to know that a great deal of or a minimum in our economy is coming from borrowed money. People are spending at a higher rate than they're earning, and we're starting to pay a price for that now. Particularly in the mortgage side. But, eventually, that could easily spread and people won't be able to do that anymore. You can't keep spending money you don't have. It gets a lot of it, you know, and it wasn't that many years ago -- maybe a couple of generations ago -- that if you wanted something, you saved for it. And when you completed saving for it, you bought it. Imagine that. And that wasn't so bad. But, now, we know that we can have the instant gratification and pay for it with interest payments, of course, over time, which is not an unfair way to do it. We're going to pay a big price for the excessive debt we've accumulated in this society both in the public side and the private side.And it's no secret that this lack of savings in our economy -- just about zero -- is putting us at the mercy of foreign countries. China owns -- I don't know the exact number -- but, let me say about 25 percent of our federal debt. China does. What happens when they start to buy our corporations with all those extra dollars they've got there? I mean, I think that's very-- these problems are long term, are very much worrisome and very much intractable.
And, finally, tomorrow is an anniversary. As Dennis Kucinich's presidential campaign reminds: "Five years ago tomorrow (Wednesday, October 3), Ohio Congressman Dennis Kucinich stood on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives to deliver an impassioned, point-by-point refutation of the Bush Administration's arguments seeking passage of the Iraq War Resolution. For days leading up to that moment, Kucinich also widely circulated his own independently conducted analysis of the 'intelligence' that the Administration had presented to Congress in support of the resolution. Eight days later, despite the warnings of Kucinich and 132 other members of the House whom he had managed to persuade to oppose this prelude to war, the majority of the House and the majority of the Senate gave the President the war powers he sought. Among those supporting the 'Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002' were Senators Hillary Clinton, John Edwards, Chris Dodd, and Joe Biden, all of whom spoke forcefully in favor of the President's strategy -- all four of whom are now Democratic Presidential candidates. All four subsequently approved additional measures for supplemental appropriations to fund the war, as did Democratic Senator Barack Obama after he was elected to the Senate in 2004. Now, five years after they approved a war that should never have been authorized in the first place, those same Democrats are scrambling to explain, excuse, or defend their votes. At the same time, the foremost among them are refusing to pledge an end to the war, admitting that it may extend well beyond 2013. Kucinich, the only Democratic candidate for President who voted against the original war authorization and every war-appropriation since, has recently raised loud warnings, in the Congress and in public statements, that House-approved and Senate-approve measures targeted towards Iran are 'dangerously and frighteningly similar' to those anti-Iraq resolutions approved five years ago."

The name for the new city was chosen in honor of Colorado’s admission into the Union on July 4, 1876. At the time of the incorporation, Centennial earned the distinction of having the largest population of a newly-incorporated city.

The city is home to the national headquarters of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. It’s also the international headquarters of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority.

Maine man
5 facts about Edward Hopper
“Sea at Ogunquit,” the Edward Hopper painting featured on the Maine Statehood Forever stamp, depicts the state’s jagged coastline.
The Maine Statehood Forever stamp, featuring Edward Hopper’s “Sea at Ogunquit” painting, was released March 15. Here are five facts about the artist (1882-1967).
1. Hopper studied at the New York School of Art and Design. While at the school, which later became the Parsons School of Design, he was influenced by the works of the French impressionists Edouard Manet and Edgar Degas. Hopper also traveled to Paris three times between 1906 and 1910 to study art.
2. He left New York City during the summer to escape the heat. Initially, he would travel to the Massachusetts coast, where he started painting outdoor scenes, before making Maine his regular destination.
3. Hopper spent nine summers in Maine. He traveled to the state for the season for the first time in 1914 and continued until 1929. During these years, he painted scenes of the Maine coast, using oil and watercolors.
4. “Sea at Ogunquit” is now part of the Whitney Museum of American Art’s collection. The oil-on-canvas painting was donated to the New York City museum by Hopper’s wife, Josephine.
5. One of Hopper’s paintings, “Chop Suey,” was sold at auction in 2018 for $92 million. He created 366 paintings during his lifetime and his works can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts and the High Museum of Art, among others, as well as in private collections.

Golden Globes 2012: All hail the winners!
by Weiwen
The biggest stars of film and television gathered at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills on the 15th of January for Hollywood’s “biggest party” and for the announcement of winners for 69th Annual Golden Globes.
Host Ricky Gervais jokes that The Golden Globes are to the Oscars what Kim Kardashian is to Kate Middleton but really, the crowd and nominees have proved that it’s anything but scandalous:
And now, we present to you the people who took home the coveted awards and so much more!
Looks like Madonna‘s bursting in joy with her win, if you get what we mean, or see. She beat Mary J Blige and Elton John in the Best Original Song category, winning for her song Masterpiece from the film W.E. It was her second win with the first for the film, Evita. Earlier on the red carpet, Elton John said that Madonna stood “no f**king chance” at winning.
Talk about karma.
Michelle Williams, the ex lover of the late Heath Ledger and mother of their daughter together, took home the award of Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical for “My Week With Marilyn”. She thanked her daughter for being her pillar of strength and inspiration. We’re sure Heath will be very proud of you, honey.
Since capturing millions of hearts worldwide in his role as Captain Von Trapp in “The Sound of Music”, Christopher Plummer continues to grace the silver screen year after year with his powerful acting. This year he wins the Best Supporting Actor award for Beginners.
In his speech, he thanked the cast and crew for making it “such an enchanting story”. He also added that his wife of 43 years “bravery and beauty haunts me still”. It’s wonderful to know that true love does exist in Hollywood.
Matt LeBlanc who plays himself on “Episodes”, a show about a British writing team who moves to Hollywood to remake their hit sitcom won the Golden Globe on Sunday for his self-referential role.
He beat out Alec Baldwin of NBC’s “30 Rock,” David Duchovny of Showtime’s “Californication,” Johnny Galecki of CBS’ “The Big Bang Theory” and Thomas Jane of HBO’s since-canceled “Hung” for the Best Actor in a TV Comedy. This was his fourth nomination, he was nominated once for “Joey” and twice for the hit series “Friends”.
You know what they say, third time the charm and that’s exactly what happened for mockumentary sitcom “Modern Family” which finally won its first Golden Globe award for Best Tv series- comedy or musical on third try.
Modern Family has received numerous awards from the Emmys and now it has finally gotten hold of the coveted Globe award. It beat last year’s winner “Glee” (Fox), and rookies “New Girl” (Fox), “Episodes” (Showtime) and “Enlightened” (HBO).
The dazzling Sofia Vergara accepted the award of behalf of the “family”.
Peter Dinklage celebrates winning a Golden Globe for his role in Game of Thrones, we think. Smile dude, you won!
“Downton Abbey”, which received rocket high ratings in 2011 has picked up the award for Best Mini-Series Or Motion Picture Made For Television.
Channing Tatum and Jessica Alba presented the Best Animated Feature Film award to The Adventures of Tintin, directed by the powerhouse Steven Spielberg and produced by Peter Jackson.
Both Kate Winslet and Leonardo diCaprio have proven themselves again and again to be more than starstruck lovers in “Titanic” which elevated them into the eye of the world.
Today, the former takes home the award for Best Performance by an actress in a Mini Series or Motion Picture Made for Television for her role in “Mildred Pierce”. In her acceptance speech she said, “I want to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press for putting me in a category with such incredible, heavyweight actresses who I feel honored to be alongside.”
Winslet also gushed, “I share this with my beautiful children..I’m so proud to be their mom,” she said at the end of her speech.
Laura Dern who plays Amy Jellicoe, a formerly high-powered executive struggling to get her life back together after a series of reversals in the series Enlightenment won the award of Best Performance By An Actress In A Television Series – Comedy Or Musical.
She beat out Zooey Deschanel in Fox’s “New Girl,” Tina Fey in NBC’s “30 Rock,” Laura Linney in Showtime’s “The Big C” and Amy Poehler in NBC’s “Parks and Recreation.” Dern has previously won Golden Globes for the 2008 HBO movie “Recount” and the 1992 HBO movie “Afterburn.”
Nothing makes a film crew prouder until their beloved director scores a win and we bet the crew of Hugo is celebrating as you read this because Martin Scorsese took home the Best Director award. The movie Hugo is based on the book “The Invention of Hugo Cabret” by Brian Selznick which tells of a young boy living in a Paris train station in the 1930s, and of his fascination with the turn-of-the-century silent movies by Georges Melies.

A Gentleman’s Dog – Revolutionary War Style
In a way, we have George Washington’s love of riding horses and breeding fox hounds to thank for his iconic role in the American Revolution. More importantly he upheld the standard that, even in wartime, a gentleman’s dog is not to be messed with. One of my favorite books, General Howe’s Dog: George Washington, the Battle of Germantown, and the Dog Who Crossed Enemy Lines, by Caroline Tiger (Chamberlain Bros., 2005) captures a little know act of kindness between opposing generals after a battle.
Homesick for Hounds
From Tiger’s well-written and researched account we learn that in 1775 Washington was homesick for his horses and hounds while a Virginia Delegate at the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia. Away from his stable full of horses and his kennel full of hounds in Mount Vernon, Virginia, he brought one of his favorite hounds, Sweep Lips, to stay with him for comfort. One day as Washington walked Sweet Lips in the city, he came across the wife of Philadelphia’s Mayor Samuel Powell, an influential politician who also loved to fox hunt. After a dinner at the mayor’s home and through an introduction to the Gloucester Hunting Club in nearby New Jersey, Washington met other influential men who eventually secured his appointment as command of the struggling Continental Army. Tiger suggests we should thank Sweet Lips for being a chick magnet on the streets of Philadelphia and as a result securing our independence.
A fine pack of PennMaryDel Hounds
However, freedom didn’t come easy. Commander of the British troops, General William Howe, triumphed over Washington for years in many battles, always seeming to let the General retreat enough to fight another day. During the war, they politely wrote letters to each other complaining about food supply blockades, troop behavior, and burning buildings among other unfair tactics of war. In 1776, after the Delaware River crossing on Christmas morning, followed by victory at the Battle of Trenton against the Hessians, luck was beginning to change for the Continental soldiers. Washington, who likened war to hunting, foolishly galloped to the front lines during this battle and said afterwards, “It’s a fine fox chase, my boys.”
By September 1777, the British had captured Philadelphia, considered the nation’s capital, and encamped their troops northwest of the city in Germantown. Washington attacked in Germantown and nearly defeated Howe, before both sides retreated amidst confusion, fog and intermingling of troops. While Washington’s troops retreated back to their encampment at Pennypacker’s Mill, a fox terrier had joined them. Once discovered, one of Washington’s men read the inscription on the collar only to learn that the small dog belonged to General Howe. In all the confusion of the battle, the dog had followed them for 25 miles back to their camp.
General Howe’s Dog
Washington had to make a decision about this new interloper. According to the rules of military engagement at the time, dogs couldn’t be kept as prisoners of war and a man’s personal property should be returned. What to do? Being a gentleman, and ignoring an officer’s suggestion to make the dog a mascot, the General asked Alexander Hamilton, would who go on to become the first Secretary of the Treasury after serving as Washington’s aide-de-camp, to write a note to Howe.
George Washington looks over at the New York Stock Exchange
The note as reproduced in the book reads: “Note to Sir William Howe. General Washington’s compliments to General Howe, does himself the pleasure to return him a Dog, which accidentally fell into his hands, and by the inscription on the collar, appears to belong to General Howe. October 6th, 1777.”
Tiger goes on to describe the dog’s return via a solider on horseback traveling 25 miles back to Germantown with a white flag in one hand and the little terrier in the other. She speculated that British troops most likely laughed at this solider deep in enemy territory carrying a little dog. One of Howe’s men wrote about the incident later: “The General seemed most pleased at the return of the dog. He took him upon his lap, seemingly uncaring that the mud from the dog’s feet soiled his tunic. Whilst he stroked the dog, he discovered a tightly folded message that had been secreted under the dog’s wide collar. The General read the message, which seemed to have a good effect upon him. Although I know not what is said, it is likely to have been penned by the commander of the rebellion.”
George Washington Statue on the steps of Federal Hall, New York City, to commemorate his first inaugural speech at that site.
Unfortunately, as with much of history, Tiger tells us there is no record of what that second note tucked into the terrier’s collar might have said or what General Howe wrote back to Washington in return.

Metal Tour of the Year 2021
JD Cohen
On September 13th the “Metal Tour of the Year” landed in Boston at Leader Park Pavilion, the tour’s 16th stop on a 28 date tour that began in Texas on August 20 and will end in Canada on October 2. The original tour was scheduled to start on June 12, 2020 but had to be postponed due to Covid-19. After one false start, the rescheduled tour features co-headliners Megadeth and Lamb of God along with openers Trivium and Hatebreed. Hatebreed replaced In Flames from the originally scheduled 2020 lineup.
Although Lamb of God front man Randy Blythe urged all fans coming to the see his band get vaccinated and wear a mask, the tour did not require either and it was hard to find a single person wearing a mask at the near capacity Boston Seaport Venue.
Hatebreed, the hardcore band originally from Bridgeport, Connecticut took the stage as fans trickled into Leader Pavillion. You could feel the power and force of the band immediately and although they had no problem captivating and engaging the audience, it’s hard not to how imagine how much more thrilling the band would be in a more intimate setting. All four bands on the tour haven’t performed live for two years and on this night, halfway through the tour, you could hear and feel the energy and excitement of each band, thankful to be performing for a live audiences again after the extended hiatus. It was also clear that the entire audience regardless of who they came to see were equally as excited. If there were two themes of the night, it was the appreciation to be performing live music again and no moshing. Each band, starting with Hatebreed made reference to the venues no moshing policy but did their best to compensate for the venue restrictions. Hatebreed vocalist Jamey Jasta spelled it out with a hometown twist when he told the audience “this is not the Rat, the Channel or Bill’s Bar”
The aggressive nonstop assault of Hatebreed’s music isn’t made for the genteel and open setting of the Leader Bank Pavilion but even in the back rows of the pavilion you could feel the force of the music propelled by the rumbling drums and bass. Jasta’s vocals have a similar sound as Henry Rollins and the band at times has the same relentless force and fury of the Rollins Band. It’s unfortunate that In Flames was not part of the 2021 version of the Metal Tour of the Year but Hatebreed did an excellent job filling their spot and fit in nicely as the opener.
Next up was Trivium, from Orlando Florida. Looking like he stepped right out of some blockbuster Hollywood post-apocalyptic movie set front man and guitarist Matt Heafy made repeated efforts to engage the crowd between songs. The crowd however from the very start needed no encouragement. Trivium tee shirts were well represented, and excited fans screamed out lyrics to anthems like “What Dead Men Say” and “The Heart from the Hate” as the Venue filled to capacity. Although Trivium is considered a metalcore or thrash metal band they are more progressive than the other bands on the tour and delivered less of a punch and pure rock aggression than Hatebreed. Heafy repeated the themes of the night and seemed genuinely enthusiastic about playing for fans who also seemed genuinely passionate about what Heafy and the band delivered during their 45 minute set.
You could feel the energy change between sets as the co-headliner Lamb of God prepared to take the stage. VIPs and Photographers crowded near the pit waiting for the curtain to rise and the band to begins to play.
The set opened with the slowly building “Mementro Mori” from the bands self-titled latest release. Frontman Randy Blythe slowly sings the lyrics
“Past the blackest heaven, above the dying stars
I watch me breaking into a million shards
But through the hardest hour,
below the cruelest sign I know I’m waking up from this wretched lie”
before Blythe screams “Wake up!”
and the band kicks into a full force and rage and the crowd goes wild. Blythe prowls the stage like a wild animal and his energy never lets up throughout the hour plus performance. On stage Blythe is a man possessed and up close you can see the intensity in his eyes, fixating and focused on the audience. Like a KISS concert the stage set is big with plenty of pyrotechnics, flames shooting up from the stage to the sky and spectacular lighting. Having played big arenas and mega tours for many years now, Lamb of God have fine-tuned their live show combining an intense and emotional performance with a big concert production that compliments the big sound of the band without distracting from it. Even in the 5,000+ outdoor Leader Pavilion Lamb of God deliver a gripping performance that makes a direct connection. The only break in the energy comes between songs where at one point Blythe delivers the best line of the night, encouraging fans to get weird and “do things that would upset your mom” or when there is a stage malfunction and Blythe is forced to kill a few minutes with some stage banter.
Blythe is a fascinating character and one of the greatest frontmen in rock today. At the age of 50, it’s hard to believe he can perform with the same level of energy night after night. In a 2021 interview Blythe discussed his battles with alcoholism and his 10 years of sobriety. Today the singer looks like a well-conditioned athlete, delivering a physically demanding emotionally taxing performance.
At the end of the explosive performance it felt like things should have ended and everyone gone home with the flavor of Lamb of God still lingering on their palate. Nothing more was needed, and it would have been a satisfying end to the evening. But there was more to come and Megadeth delivered a nice contrast to the younger bands.
When Megadeth started in 1983 they were one of the heaviest bands, largely responsible for the popularization of the genre of thrash metal. David Mustaine is the heart and soul of the band and has been the one consistent member since co-founder David Ellefson’s recent exit from the band. 38 years later, Megadeth sounds much more melodic and song oriented than they did when they first started.
Mustaine recently recovered from throat cancer and hasn’t performed in Boston since 2017. On this night it was Mustaine’s 60th birthday and he was touring with bassist James LoMenzo, who was in the band from 2006-2010 and Kiko Loureiro (guitar) since 2015 and Dirk Vebeuren (drums) since 2016.
The band started things off to the slow and nasty growl of Mustaine singing Hanger 18, from the bands popular 1990 album Rust in Peace. Dave’s menacing glare and raspy vocals add to Megadeth’s apocalyptic lyrics and music, often religious, political and war related. Most of the song selection on the tour have been similar, drawing largely from the bands earlier material dating back to 1983 through 2002. Mustaine is still a master at his craft and the soaring guitar and more traditional rock and metal sound provided a nice counterpoint to the full on assault of the the opening bands. LoMenzo and Loureiro did their best rock star posing and looked like they were having a ball on stage, also a nice counterpoint to Mustaine’s grizzled old guitar master and stoic elder grand wizard stage persona.
For anyone growing up in the 80’s or early 90’s the show had a nostalgic quality but in the best sense. The music and the music industry have changed so much since 1983 but Megadeth continues to thrive and they have influenced so many new bands and whole new genres of metal. Despite the controversy always swirling around Dave Mustaine it was wonderful to see him healthy and flashing guitar brilliance and rock and roll greatness with the still very much relevant and impressive Megadeth.

Living Media Ethics: Across Platforms
Living Media Ethics
Concept and Market
Sample Exercise
HomeConcept and Market
Living Media Ethics: Across Platforms is written for students pursuing careers in advertising, public relations, journalism, broadcasting, newspapers, magazines, photojournalism, digital/multimedia, social media, technology, communication, strategic communication, and communication studies at the undergraduate level (with crossover to other disciplines including but not limited to marketing, political science and business).
Here is a brief selection of new content in the work:
Expanded theoretical base with citations from almost 100 books, augmented throughout the text with hundreds of links and journal citations for more timely material.
Coverage of ethical issues involving the 2016 presidential election, including Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” and Donald Trump’s “Access Hollywood” admissions.
Updated content on Fake News phenomenon, covered previously in the chapter on hoaxes.
Analysis of Rolling Stone’s “A Rape on Campus,” not only from the journalism viewpoint but also from the institution’s PR crisis management.
Social media advertising and posts by Russian operatives intended to cause division in the electorate, impacting all aspects of mass communication.
Analysis of the 2005-07 email hacking scandal involving the now-defunct News of the World and other British publications affiliated with News International, a subsidiary of News Corporation.
Content about the 2015 suspension of Brian Williams, NBC Nightly News anchor, after he exaggerated an account that he had referenced many times about being onboard a military helicopter that took enemy fire during the 2003 Iraq War.
Added sections to plagiarism, including analysis of the 2016 plagiarized sections of Melania Trump’s speech to the Republication National Convention, which borrowed from Michele Obama’s 2008 speech.
An expanded chapter on Bias with more content on Islamic stereotypes. Also, interviews with Time and Center for Investigative Reporting on diversity in newsrooms.
Google’s decision to leave the China market and China’s government blocking the search engine.
More information about understanding cultural norms in foreign countries has been added, expanding the section on discretion.
Use of the n-word—host Bill Maher and others—in the segment on taste and social media. (Use of the word as well as other sensitive or potentially offensive material is tagged with a trigger warning in the text.)
A section about the Kosovo War and embedding of troops in Operation Iraqi Freedom has been added, with an interview with a formal Air Force colonel and current executive for Raytheon.
New sections have been added on compassion, forgiveness, sympathy and empathy. It is important not only for students to understand these concepts but also to capture the emotions in content across platforms, as those photos, videos, campaigns, etc., are powerful examples of human interest.
Practical information about creating a personal ethics code for a digital portfolio in preparing for internships and jobs. Information includes content on WordPress, Tumblr, Weebly and Wix.
Unlike other top-selling ethics texts, which focus on news-editorial, Living Media Ethics focuses on all platforms because practitioners of each deal everyday with other journalists and professionals and so must understand their policies and practices. Moreover, while circumstances of ethical issues may vary, the moral processes are usually the same.
The text is designed as required for media ethics classes. However, professors may wish to use the text for the emphasis on values, philosophy and media history or for the exercises and ethics code/portfolio information. Although the work cites traditional, modern and Asian/African philosophy, it does not rely heavily on philosophy and theory, as do other media ethics books. Rather, Living Media Ethics cites media history’s influence on standards and practices. Thus, students will learn the ethics and approaches of such figures as Ben Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, Abraham Lincoln and Eleanor Roosevelt and many others who arguably had substantial impact and influence on media. Whenever possible, philosophy and media history combine to put into context our lives in the 21st century.
Living Media Ethics seeks to: (a) evoke emotional intelligence associated with conscience and consciousness, so that students feel as well as know their values; (b) spark discussions via case studies from a morally informed perspective; and (c) encourage students to develop values in the work place by assembling personal ethics codes in online portfolios–key in securing employment in the digital age.

At the end of each chapter the book contains personal and group (instructor/discussion leader) ethics/journal exercises. Students should use those journal exercises as content for their own “living media ethics” blogs featuring their media-related work to be included in an online portfolio with personal ethics code.
Additionally, each chapter will contain:
Content about values that applies across all media platforms. (Because content focuses on values, teachers will be able to adapt it to support existing lectures or generate course revisions, deepening the level of instruction.)
Exercises to build, test and enhance individual value systems. (End-of-chapter exercises provide instructors with a convenient system to monitor the ethical development of their students.)
Writing and creative assignments to assemble a professional ethics code and online portfolio. The work is written in an engaging style, meant to encourage readers to explore and analyze their own values and that of the various media, with the ultimate goal of aligning their values with that of a company for which they hope one day to work.
Market Considerations
Living Media Ethics is designed, primarily, as a required book. The text builds, challenges and enhances the individual value systems of students in a precise, step-by-step manner, culminating in a practical digital document to help secure internships and first jobs. No other ethics text in use today focuses exclusively on values with personal codes in digital portfolios. As such, classes based on Living Media Ethics are both conceptual and skills-based.
The book will be a new edition. The author has seven years of updated content material already collected. The work totals 140,000 words.
Content across media platforms in print, broadcast and digital/multimedia journalism; advertising; and public relations.
Can be used in capstone or principles classes in departments and schools of journalism and mass communication (advertising and public relations)
Focus on conscience and consciousness working in tandem with each other to build, test and enhance students’ personal value systems. Conscience and consciousness are presented as dual aspects of the human condition, with scholarly citations documenting same.
This is the author’s major contribution to the field of media ethics, as evidenced by the winning of the Clifford G. Christians Award for Media Ethics, the only scholar to win the award twice—for Interpersonal Divide and Living Media Ethics.
End-of-chapter assignments that encourage blogging about media ethics.
Assignments encourage students to blog about their personal ethical encounters and also can be used for graded work, each building a value system showcased in the final product: an online portfolio with personal ethics code.
Final digital product: an online portfolio with personal ethics code.

UK house prices fall for fifth month in a row
By LoveWorld UK on 1st February 2023 UK
House prices in the UK continued to fall in January, sliding for the fifth month in a row, according to Nationwide, pushing the average cost of a home 3.2% below the peak seen last August.
The cost of a home dropped by 0.6% in the first month of the year compared with December 2022, according to the building society’s monthly survey.
Annual house price growth also slowed at the start of the year to 1.1%, down from 2.8% in December. This is the lowest growth since June 2020, when the housing market reopened after being frozen during the early months of the Covid pandemic.

The average price of a home slid to £258,297 in January, a fall of almost £4,000 from a month earlier, when the average property price was £262,068.
Nationwide said it was too early to tell whether housing market activity had started to recover, as mortgage rates offered by lenders are returning to normal after they soared following Liz Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng’s disastrous mini-budget last September.
Demand for mortgages also tumbled to its lowest level since the 2020 Covid lockdown in December, according to figures from the Bank of England, which found the number of home loan approvals continued to drop in December.
Robert Gardiner, Nationwide’s chief economist, said the gloomy economic outlook was likely to continue to have an impact on the housing market and prospective buyers.
“It will be hard for the market to regain much momentum in the near term as economic headwinds are set to remain strong, with real earnings likely to fall further and the labour market widely projected to weaken as the economy shrinks,” he said.
Nationwide found that prospective house buyers were facing a bigger challenge to afford property, as a result of the increase in mortgage rates.
Mortgage rates have been falling marginally in recent weeks, although the Bank of England is expected to raise interest rates further on Thursday, in what would be the 10th rise in succession.
Policymakers are expected to increase the central bank’s base rate to 4%, which would be the highest level since the 2008 financial crisis.
House buyers have struggled with affordability in all regions of the UK in recent months, compared with 2021, Nationwide found, as higher mortgage rates have pushed up the cost of servicing a typical mortgage.
Nationwide found particularly acute affordability pressures in London and the south of England, while mortgage payments as a share of take-home pay reached their highest level in over a decade in Scotland and the north of England, even though they continue to be the most affordable regions for property.
Meanwhile, the rising cost of renting a home, which has been increasing at the strongest pace since records began in 2005, is also making it difficult renters to save money for a house deposit. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3915 | {"url": "https://loveworlduk.org/uk-house-prices-fall-for-fifth-month-in-a-row/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "loveworlduk.org", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:26:11Z", "digest": "sha1:URU4ZLOD3JQ3G2X3MSFTSUJHZDXWYUYS"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3105, 3105.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3105, 3815.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3105, 18.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3105, 59.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3105, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3105, 244.1]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3105, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3105, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3105, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3105, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3105, 0.39087948]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3105, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3105, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3105, 0.02862823]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3105, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3105, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3105, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3105, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3105, 0.00994036]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3105, 0.01908549]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3105, 0.01749503]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3105, 0.01140065]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3105, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3105, 0.16449511]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3105, 0.48380952]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3105, 4.79047619]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3105, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3105, 5.00826779]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3105, 525.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 116, 0.0], [116, 162, 0.0], [162, 202, 0.0], [202, 391, 1.0], [391, 538, 1.0], [538, 780, 1.0], [780, 880, 0.0], [880, 1029, 1.0], [1029, 1285, 1.0], [1285, 1506, 1.0], [1506, 1673, 1.0], [1673, 1919, 1.0], [1919, 2064, 1.0], [2064, 2257, 1.0], [2257, 2397, 1.0], [2397, 2607, 1.0], [2607, 2912, 1.0], [2912, 3105, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 116, 0.0], [116, 162, 0.0], [162, 202, 0.0], [202, 391, 0.0], [391, 538, 0.0], [538, 780, 0.0], [780, 880, 0.0], [880, 1029, 0.0], [1029, 1285, 0.0], [1285, 1506, 0.0], [1506, 1673, 0.0], [1673, 1919, 0.0], [1919, 2064, 0.0], [2064, 2257, 0.0], [2257, 2397, 0.0], [2397, 2607, 0.0], [2607, 2912, 0.0], [2912, 3105, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 116, 18.0], [116, 162, 10.0], [162, 202, 8.0], [202, 391, 35.0], [391, 538, 26.0], [538, 780, 43.0], [780, 880, 18.0], [880, 1029, 27.0], [1029, 1285, 39.0], [1285, 1506, 37.0], [1506, 1673, 25.0], [1673, 1919, 44.0], [1919, 2064, 23.0], [2064, 2257, 32.0], [2257, 2397, 23.0], [2397, 2607, 34.0], [2607, 2912, 49.0], [2912, 3105, 34.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 116, 0.07476636], [116, 162, 0.0], [162, 202, 0.12820513], [202, 391, 0.01098901], [391, 538, 0.04225352], [538, 780, 0.03433476], [780, 880, 0.04123711], [880, 1029, 0.11267606], [1029, 1285, 0.0], [1285, 1506, 0.01843318], [1506, 1673, 0.0], [1673, 1919, 0.0], [1919, 2064, 0.0], [2064, 2257, 0.01058201], [2257, 2397, 0.03676471], [2397, 2607, 0.0195122], [2607, 2912, 0.0], [2912, 3105, 0.02116402]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 116, 0.0], [116, 162, 0.0], [162, 202, 0.0], [202, 391, 0.0], [391, 538, 0.0], [538, 780, 0.0], [780, 880, 0.0], [880, 1029, 0.0], [1029, 1285, 0.0], [1285, 1506, 0.0], [1506, 1673, 0.0], [1673, 1919, 0.0], [1919, 2064, 0.0], [2064, 2257, 0.0], [2257, 2397, 0.0], [2397, 2607, 0.0], [2607, 2912, 0.0], [2912, 3105, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 116, 0.06896552], [116, 162, 0.04347826], [162, 202, 0.2], [202, 391, 0.03174603], [391, 538, 0.01360544], [538, 780, 0.02066116], [780, 880, 0.03], [880, 1029, 0.01342282], [1029, 1285, 0.0234375], [1285, 1506, 0.02714932], [1506, 1673, 0.01796407], [1673, 1919, 0.00406504], [1919, 2064, 0.00689655], [2064, 2257, 0.02072539], [2257, 2397, 0.00714286], [2397, 2607, 0.01904762], [2607, 2912, 0.01639344], [2912, 3105, 0.00518135]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3105, 0.85076749]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3105, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3105, 0.67719448]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3105, -133.07369284]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3105, 66.76837711]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3105, 34.08019392]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3105, 22.0]]} |

I love people, but
I think I’ve had an epiphany of sorts – or maybe I was just able to put into a simple, tidy little phrase something I’ve known all of my life, but haven’t quite understood so simply. That is, I love individuals, but I don’t care for groups of people. In fact, I really don’t like groups of people much at all. I may even hate them – mostly. This is why I’ve always said, and with some weird pride, “I’m not a joiner.” I would often then go on to enumerate that which I will not join: I don’t want to be a part of your religion, book club, biker gang, ultimate frisbee team and so on and so on. It is not that I don’t like those in and of themselves, but I do not want to be a part of them. But at the same time, I love the individuals who make them up. Well, not all of them of course, but would give them all the benefit of the doubt, not as the group, but as individuals, in the beginning.
I am definitely suspicious of groups. They are unnerving for a host of very good reasons: They are dangerous; they are often possessed by mob mentality (even in small groups); they are often self-righteous; they allow individuals to be lazy and force others to pick up their slack, they are physically large and can lose control of that physicality, and on and on. Think groupthink. That is not to say that I am some sort of whacked-out every man for himself libertarian, or rugged individualist (whatever that means) as I’m really not all that rugged and I do love those I love dearly – my family, my close friends and co-workers – and I love to be around them. I even understand the need for and desire to help one another as individuals and even as a society (big group, that one).
But still I chafe at the little trappings of groups; god save me if I have to dress like a group of people beyond whatever I would normally choose for myself; scheduled and regular meetings I am certain each knock a good 20 minutes (beyond the wasted time of the meeting itself) off the end of my life; I can feel my ultimate demise inching toward me each time I am forced into a group experience not of my choosing. Little bits of me die within.
And I wonder even at the logistics of it all! How on god’s green earth do people round up large groups for biking, or ultimate frisbee, or to re-enact some bygone battle with muskets and period outfits(!) for that matter? That is a great mystery to me, but then again I am imagining 45 me’s at the end of the phone line receiving the invite: “Hey, wanna come out and meet a bunch of us at…” Nope.
But let me say again, I’m not anti-people – just anti-bunches-of-people. I’m also averse to concerts, sporting events, bullfights – wherever great hoards of humanity pile into a confined space. One could be crushed! I love the idea of Woodstock, but would have blown my head off to have had to be there for more than 15 or so minutes – even clean and sober; add some acid or mushrooms or even whatever weed they were smoking back then to that experience and I might have simply physically honestly exploded into individual atoms rather suddenly, simply ceasing to exist entirely.
People who know me gave up long ago inviting me to join anything. And I don’t think they love me less for it. I think they, as individuals, accept that. As a group, they could turn up at my door in the middle of the night with pitchforks and torches and stakes and demands of my skills for ultimate frisbee every other Thursday down at Como Park – rain or shine!

17 F. 3d 1294 - United States v. Nicholson
17 F3d 1294 United States v. Nicholson
17 F.3d 1294
Robert David NICHOLSON, Defendant-Appellant.
Feb. 25, 1994.
Randy S. Ludlow, Salt Lake City, Utah, for Defendant-Appellant.
Stewart C. Walz, Assistant United States Attorney, Salt Lake City, Utah (Scott M. Matheson, Jr., United States Attorney, and Tiffany Romney, Special Assistant United States Attorney, with him on the Brief), for Plaintiff-Appellee.
Before SEYMOUR, Chief Circuit Judge, MOORE, Circuit Judge, and BROWN,* Senior District Judge.
WESLEY E. BROWN, Senior District Judge.
The defendant Robert David Nicholson was indicted on a charge of possession of cocaine, a controlled substance, with intent to distribute in violation of Title 21 U.S.C. Sec. 841(a)(1), Sec. 841(b)(1)(A), and 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2. He filed a motion to suppress evidence seized from his truck, but after a hearing before a United States Magistrate, a recommendation was made that the motion be denied. The report and recommendation of the magistrate was adopted by the district court. After a two-day jury trial on November 19 and 20, 1992, Nicholson was found guilty of the charge and was sentenced to 240 months' imprisonment.
The evidence concerning the search and seizure was as follows. On June 29, 1992, at 9:40 a.m., Officer Paul V. Mangelson, a 25-year veteran of the Utah Highway Patrol, was travelling north on Interstate 15 just south of Nephi, Juab County, Utah. At that time, he saw a 1972 Chevrolet pickup truck driving erratically, crossing the lane dividers on a couple of occasions. Mangelson pulled behind the truck and followed it for over one-half mile. Because of the truck bed, Mangelson could not see the occupants of the vehicle. When the truck exited the interstate, no turn signal was given, and Mangelson pulled the truck over because of erratic driving and failure to signal, both of which violated Utah law.
When the officer approached the truck and its occupants, he noticed a strong odor of burnt marijuana. He recognized this odor because of his lengthy service as a law enforcement officer. Defendant Nicholson was driving the truck and Simon Hid-Lopez, later discovered to be an illegal alien, was riding as his passenger.1
Mangelson asked for a driver's license and registration for the truck. Nicholson provided a California license which bore his correct name, but he said he had just bought the truck for $300 and did not have its registration. He did provide Nicholson with a registration for a 1972 Ford van, but the VIN numbers on the two vehicles did not match.
Mangelson asked Nicholson to follow him back to the patrol car while he ran a check on the truck. At this time, Nicholson told Mangelson that he was going to Salt Lake City to do some fishing, but he did not know where he was going fishing and he did not have a valid Utah fishing license.
Mangelson learned from dispatch that the truck was in fact registered to Nicholson. Mangelson asked the defendant whether there was any contraband in the truck--Nicholson replied "No." But in response to the officer's question he did state that, while he used marijuana, he had no marijuana with him.
Nicholson then asked for and was given permission to search the truck. It should be noted that the stop and search were recorded on videotape. In making his findings, the magistrate viewed this tape and found that "(W)hen asked to consent to the officer looking in the vehicle, the defendant gave a very animated consent to the search. It is rather apparent defendant was feeling confident and did not believe the very secret compartment would be detected."2
After obtaining consent, the officer patted down Nicholson and Hid-Lopez and found a brownish-orange material in Nicholson's right pocket. Defendant told the officer that this substance was "speed." This was later tested and found to be methamphetamine.
In the interior of the truck, Mangelson found a jacket which Nicholson claimed as his. Inside the jacket, Mangelson found a bag of marijuana. When the officer opened the glove compartment, he found the correct registration for the truck in Nicholson's name, but Nicholson stated that he did not know the registration was there. Inside the truck, the officer found a road atlas with markings for a route from California to New York and a Bible with Nicholson's name on it. In the camper portion of the truck, the officer noted a spare tire that was not mounted on a rim, and he noticed that there was no spare tire or spare tire carriage underneath the back of the truck which is the customary place for a spare tire in that type of truck. When Mangelson looked at the undercarriage of the truck, he found it had been freshly painted and that mud had been dabbed on or thrown against the fender well. He also noticed fresh markings on the undercarriage bolts, indicating that they had recently been removed. He also found that the rear bumper on the vehicle appeared to have been altered by adding an extension piece about four to five inches high, and there were scratches on the bumper bolts, indicating that they had recently been removed.
From all of these observations, Mangelson concluded that there was a dead space or hidden compartment under the bed of the truck. Nicholson and Hid-Lopez were arrested for the small amount of narcotics found, and a search warrant was obtained to search the bed of the truck.
After obtaining this warrant, Mangelson removed the camper shell and the bed of the truck using tools that he found in the truck. This revealed a hidden compartment containing 95 packages of a white powder substance. A field test and later laboratory tests confirmed that this substance was cocaine.
In this appeal, Nicholson contends that the search of his vehicle and the items found there and evidence of his possession of drugs at the scene should have been suppressed. He also contends that the evidence was insufficient to support the conviction and that he improperly received a twenty-year minimum mandatory sentence.
With reference to the search, Nicholson agrees he admitted that he smoked marijuana and that he gave the officer permission to search. He contends, however, that once the marijuana was found, the officer went on an unauthorized "fishing expedition," looking for additional evidence of other crimes, and that the officer had no probable cause to do so. In this manner, Nicholson contends that the only consent given was consent to search the cab of the truck, and that the officer had no probable cause to search the entire vehicle.
In reviewing the denial of a motion to suppress, the district court's findings of fact must be accepted unless they are clearly erroneous; and the evidence will be considered in the light most favorable to the ruling. The question of the reasonableness of the search is a conclusion of law to be reviewed de novo by this appellate court. U.S. v. Soto, 988 F.2d 1548, 1551 (10th Cir.1993). Following our review of the record, we conclude that the district court did not err in denying motion to suppress.
The search of the entire truck, including the undercarriage, was reasonable under the circumstances described above. A vehicle which is lawfully stopped may be searched without a warrant if there is probable cause to believe it contains contraband or evidence of a crime. U.S. v. Rodriguez-Pando, 841 F.2d 1014, 1017 (10th Cir.1988). Here, Mangelson, an experienced officer, recognized the smell of marijuana as he approached the truck, and Nicholson admitted that he had used marijuana. "... the odor of marijuana alone can satisfy the probable cause requirement to search a vehicle or baggage." U.S. v. Morin, 949 F.2d 297, 300 (10th Cir.1991). Once there is probable cause for a search, an officer has authority to search the entire vehicle. U.S. v. Ashby, 864 F.2d 690 (10th Cir.1988) cert. denied, 494 U.S. 1070, 110 S.Ct. 1793, 108 L.Ed.2d 794 (1990). Thus, in U.S. v. Loucks, 806 F.2d 208 (10th Cir.1986), the patrolman, who had smelled marijuana on the vehicle driver, searched the interior of the vehicle and found marijuana. He then proceeded to search the trunk of the vehicle where he found a large quantity of marijuana. This court held that "If probable cause justifies the search of a lawfully stopped vehicle, it justifies the search of every part of the vehicle and its contents that may conceal the object of the search." 806 F.2d at 210, quoting U.S. v. Ross, 456 U.S. 798, 825, 102 S.Ct. 2157, 2173, 72 L.Ed.2d 572 (1982).
In Nicholson's case, there was more than the mere smell of marijuana to establish probable cause. While he stated he had just bought the truck for $300, he gave the officer a title to a 1972 Ford when the vehicle was a 1972 Chevrolet. Nicholson told Mangelson he was going to fish in the Great Salt Lake, but he did not have a fishing license. Officer Mangelson testified that he had a "strong suspicion" that Nicholson was impaired from marijuana.
When the officer looked over the vehicle, he noted other suspicious circumstances, including mud found only in the fender well, and the four- or five-inch difference in the truck bottom and the floor which indicated a hidden compartment designed to carry contraband.
The evidence further established that Nicholson gave his consent to the search, the consent was voluntary, the consent was not limited to searching the cab of the truck, and the consent was never revoked. The district court properly found that the "search was made of an obvious place where contraband might be located, and was properly within the scope of the consent given." The denial of the motion to suppress was proper due to the existence of probable cause and consent.
Nicholson also contends that the court abused its discretion in admitting evidence of defendant's possession and use of marijuana and methamphetamine.3
This court will not reverse for an abuse of discretion unless we find that the district court "made a clear error of judgment or exceeded the bounds of permissible choice in the circumstances." U.S. v. Carter, 973 F.2d 1509, 1513 (10th Cir.1992), citing U.S. v. Ortiz, 804 F.2d 1161, 1164, n. 2 (10th Cir.1986). Here, the United States filed a Notice of Intention to use this evidence because such evidence was "inextricably intertwined" with the crime charged and because the evidence was admissible under Rule 404(b), Federal Rules of Evidence.4 The trial court made an explicit finding that the evidence of other drugs was "inextricably intertwined with the charged offense" and granted the motion to introduce such evidence.
The fact that Nicholson possessed marijuana and methamphetamine, and that he falsely denied this possession, is probative evidence going to his knowledge, state of mind, intent, motive, and absence of mistake in determining whether he knowingly possessed the cocaine found in the hidden compartment of the truck. In this respect, such evidence was "inextricably intertwined" with the charged offense and was admissible under Rule 404(b), Federal Rules of Evidence. There was no error in admission of such evidence. See U.S. v. Doran, 882 F.2d 1511, 1523-1524 (10th Cir.1989).
Nicholson's argument that the evidence was insufficient to convict him on the charge of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute is without merit. Evidence is sufficient to support a conviction when direct and circumstantial evidence, together with reasonable inferences to be drawn from such evidence, would lead a jury to find a defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. U.S. v. Ray, 973 F.2d 840, 842 (10th Cir.1992).
In this case, the jury was required to find that Nicholson knowingly possessed a controlled substance and that he intended to distribute that substance. The evidence established that defendant knowingly possessed the cocaine found in the hidden compartment because the truck was registered in his name, and he was the only person driving the truck. The truck contained his personal items, including a Bible with his name on it, and a van registration in his name. The evidence likewise established a knowing possession by reason of defendant's false statements, evasions, and contradictory statements.5
An intent to distribute may be inferred from the possession of a large quantity of a controlled substance. U.S. v. Powell, 982 F.2d 1422, 1430 (10th Cir.1992) cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 113 S.Ct. 2361, 124 L.Ed.2d 268. The hidden compartment of the truck contained 95 kilos of cocaine, packaged in a like number of packages. A drug enforcement agent testified that, when broken down and distributed in personal use quantities, those 95 kilos could be sold for over $30,336,000.00. (Vol. III, Record, p. 71)
All of the direct and circumstantial evidence, together with reasonable inferences derived from that evidence, was sufficient for the jury to find that Nicholson knowingly possessed the cocaine with intent to distribute.
Nicholson next contends that his sentence of 240 months amounts to cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the Eighth Amendment of the Constitution. When a sentence is within the sentencing guidelines, this court generally will not find the sentence to be cruel and unusual. See U.S. v. Hughes, 901 F.2d 830, 832 (10th Cir.1990), cert. denied 498 U.S. 859, 111 S.Ct. 163, 112 L.Ed.2d 128. Prior to trial, the United States filed an information, as required by 21 U.S.C. Sec. 851, stating that it intended to rely on Nicholson's previous drug conviction.6
Under 21 U.S.C. Sec. 841(b)(1)(A), the prior conviction subjected defendant to a twenty-year minimum mandatory term of imprisonment. Such a sentence has previously been upheld by this circuit. See U.S. v. Pena, 920 F.2d 1509, 1517-1518 (10th Cir.1990) cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 111 S.Ct. 2802, 115 L.Ed.2d 975 (1991).
The base level offense for possession with intent to distribute 95.05 kilos of cocaine is at Level 36, and the prior conviction established a criminal history category of II. U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Sec. 2D1.1, and Sec. 5A. Under these guidelines, the range of imprisonment would be 210 to 262 months. Defendant's sentence of 240 months was clearly within those guidelines.
Under the evidence discussed above, we must conclude that Patrolman Mangelson had probable cause to search defendant's entire vehicle, that defendant consented to such search, that the district court properly admitted evidence concerning defendant's possession of marijuana and methamphetamine, that the evidence was sufficient to support the conviction, and that the sentence imposed was not cruel and unusual punishment.
The Honorable Wesley E. Brown, Senior District Judge, District of Kansas, sitting by designation
Hid-Lopez was indicted as a codefendant in the case, but the charge against him was dismissed prior to trial
A search of the vehicle revealed the location of a secret compartment later found to contain cocaine. See infra. The magistrate noted that the videotape "shows the officer expressed some confusion about the hidden compartment until he had made a careful examination of the vehicle and his opinion was corroborated by other officers who arrived at the scene."
Evidence was introduced that at the time of his arrest Nicholson had in his possession both marijuana and methamphetamine, both controlled substances, that he admitted having recently used marijuana, and that he denied having any marijuana and denied knowing what the methamphetamine was or where it came from
Rule 404(b), Federal Rules of Evidence, provides in pertinent part that:
Evidence of other crimes, wrongs, or acts is not admissible to prove the character of a person in order to show action in conformity therewith. It may, however, be admissible for other purposes, such as proof of motive, opportunity, intent, preparation, plan, knowledge, identity, or absence of mistake or accident, provided that upon request by the accused, the prosecution in a criminal case shall provide reasonable notice in advance of trial, or during trial if the court excuses pretrial notice on good cause shown, of the general nature of any such evidence it intends to introduce at trial.
The evidence established that defendant falsely told the patrolman that he was going fishing. At trial he claimed that he was going to New York to bring back two girls to California. On cross examination, he stated that when he left California he did not know he was going to New York. While he first testified that his passenger Hid-Lopez was in charge of everything, he also told a detective that Hid-Lopez did not know anything about the situation and was just along for the ride
In order to impose enhanced sentencing, 21 U.S.C. Sec. 851 requires the United States to file an information concerning previous convictions to be relied upon
The evidence established that Nicholson was convicted and sentenced in 1986 in California for conspiracy to sell a controlled substance and for selling and transporting a controlled substance. He was sentenced to four years, was paroled in December 1989, and discharged from parole in January 1991. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3919 | {"url": "https://m.openjurist.org/17/f3d/1294",

196 US 458 Isaac Allen v. Alleghany Company
196 U.S. 458
25 S.Ct. 311
49 L.Ed. 551
ISAAC N. E. ALLEN et al., Plffs. in Err.,
ALLEGHANY COMPANY.
Argued January 11, 1905.
Decided February 20, 1905.
This was a suit begun in the supreme court of New Jersey by the Alleghany Company, to recover the amount due upon a promissory note dated at New York, July 16, 1900, given by the plaintiffs in error, under the firm name of I. N. E. Allen & Co., for $1,989.54, upon which payments amounting to $1,000 were indorsed. The declaration was upon the common counts, but annexed was a copy of the note, with a notice that the action was brought to recover the amount due thereon. The defendants pleaded four several pleas:
1. General issue.
2. That the note was executed and delivered in the state of New York to the plaintiff company, a business corporation created under the laws of North Carolina. That when said note was executed and delivered it was provided by the statute of the state of New York that—— 'No foreign corporation . . . shall do business in this state without having first procured from the secretary of state a certificate that it has complied with all the requirements of law to authorize it to do business in this state, and that the business of the corporation to be carried on in this state is such as may be lawfully carried on by a corporation incorporated under the laws of this state. . . . No foreign stock corporation doing business in this state shall maintain any action in this state, upon any contract made by it in this state, unless, prior to the making of such contract, it shall have procured such certificate.'
The plea further averred that at the time of the making of the note the plaintiff was a business stock corporation, foreign to the state of New York, and had not theretofore procured from the secretary of state a certificate that it had complied with all the requirements of the law to authorize it to do business within the state, and that the business of said plaintiff was such as might be lawfully carried on by a corporation incorporated under the laws of said state for such or similar business, according to the form of the statute of New York in such case made and provided.
3. The third plea sets out that the note was made and executed in the state of Pennsylvania to the plaintiff company, a foreign corporation created under the laws of North Carolina.
That when said note was executed and delivered it was provided by the state of Pennsylvania that——
'1. No foreign corporation shall do any business in this commonwealth until said corporation shall have established an office or offices and appointed an agent or agents for the transaction of its business therein. 2. It shall not be lawful for any such corporation to do any business in this commonwealth until it shall have filed in the office of the secretary of the commonwealth a statement, under the seal of said corporation, and signed by the president or secretary thereof, showing the title and object of said corporation, the location of its office or offices, and the name or names of its attorney, agent, or agents therein, and the certificate of the secretary of the commonwealth, under the seal of the commonwealth, of the filing of such statement, shall be preserved for public inspection by each of said agents in each and every of said offices. 3. Any person or persons, agents, officers, or employees of any such foreign corporation, who shall transact any business within this commonwealth for any such foreign corporation, without the provisions of this act being complied with, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by imprisonment, not exceeding thirty days, and by a fine not exceeding one thousand dollars, or either, at the discretion of the court trying the same.'
The plea further averred that, at the making of the note, the plaintiff was a corporation foreign to the said commonwealth, and had not theretofore filed in the office of the secretary a statement showing the title and object of said plaintiff, the location of its office, and the name of its authorized agent therein, according to the form of said statute; yet, notwithstanding the premises, the plaintiff, at the time of the making of the said note, did business in the said commonwealth of Pennsylvania, contrary to the form of the said statute.
The plaintiff demurred to the second and third pleas, and, the demurrer being overruled, the cause was sent down to the Circuit Court of Hudson county for trial on an issue of fact raised by the fourth plea, which is not material here.
The trial judge there directed a verdict for the plaintiff, and upon appeal to the court of errors and appeals of New Jersey the judgment of the lower court was affirmed. 69 N. J. L. 270, 55 Atl. 724.
Mr. Alexander S. Bacon for plaintiffs in error.
[Argument of Counsel from pages 460-461 intentionally omitted]
Mr. James A. Gordon for defendant in error.
Mr. Justice Brown delivered the opinion of the court:
The defendants, plaintiffs in error here, pleaded that the note upon which suit was brought was executed in the state of New York, and that, under laws of that state, no foreign corporation could do business there without a certificate of the secretary of state that it had complied with all the requirements of law to authorize it to do business there; and that no such corporation could maintain any action in that state unless, prior to the making of such contract, it had procured such certificate; that plaintiff was a foreign corporation within the meaning of the law, and had not procured a certificate.
The third plea was similar in terms, averring the note to have been made in Pennsylvania, whose statutes provided that foreign corporations should do no business in the state without filing a certain statement in the secretary's office and procuring the certificate of the secretary of the commonwealth, and further providing that the agent of any foreign corporation transacting business within the state, without complying with the provisions of the law should be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor. The plea also averred noncompliance with those provisions.
Both the supreme court and the court of errors and appeals held that a contract made in contravention of these statutory regulations, though not enforceable in the courts of New York and Pennsylvania, was not ipso facto void, and might be, notwithstanding such statutes, enforced in New Jersey.
Plaintiffs in error insist that by this ruling full faith and credit was denied by the courts of New Jersey to the statutes of New York and Pennsylvania, in contravention to § 1, article 4, of the Constitution.
By § 709 of the Revised Statutes (U. S. Comp. Stat. 1901, p. 575), authorizing writs of error to the state courts, it is declared that final judgments, where is drawn in question the validity of a statute of any state, or any authority exercised under any state, on the ground of their being repugnant to the Constitution, etc., and the decision is in favor of their validity, may be re-examined here.
But the validity of these statutes was not denied. The case turned upon their construction and the effect to be given to them in another state. The New York statute directly, and the Pennsylvania indirectly, forbade the maintenance of actions 'in this state.' The Pennsylvania statute made it a misdemeanor to transact business without complying with the law. Neither statute declared the contract so made to be void, and it was apparently upon this ground that the New Jersey courts held that the case did not fall within those decisions wherein it is declared that a contract void by the lex loci contractus is void everywhere.
In several cases we have held that the construction of a statute of another state, and its operation elsewhere, did not necesarily involve a Federal question. The case is practically governed by that of the Chicago %& a. r. c/o. v. Wiggins Ferry Co. 119 U. S. 615, 30 L. ed. 519, 7 Sup. Ct. Rep. 398. In that case suit was brought in a state court by the ferry company against the railroad to recover damages for not employing the ferry company for the transportation of persons and property across the river, as by its contract it was bound to do. The defendant pleaded that it had no power to make the contract; that the same was in violation of the laws of Illinois, contrary to the public policy thereof, and was void. The statutes were put in evidence, but their construction and operative effect were disputed. The supreme court of the state held that the contract was interpreted correctly by the court below, and that it was not ultra vires, contrary to public policy, or in restraint of trade. It was argued here by the railroad company that, by law and usage of Illinois, the charter of the company in that state made the contract ultra vires. We held that the law of Illinois to that effect should have been proved as a fact, eigher by decisions of tis courts or by law or usage in that state; that state courts are not charged with a knowledge of the laws of another state: but they have to be proved, and that, while Federal courts exercising their original jurisdiction are bound to take notice of the laws of the several states, yet this court, when exercising its appellate jurisdiction from state courts, whatever was the matter of fact in that court is matter of fact here (citing Hanley v. Donoghue, 116 U. S. 1, 29 L. ed. 535, 6 Sup. Ct. Rep. 242). We said: 'Whether the charter of this company, in its operation on the contract now in suit, had any different effect in Illinois from what it would have, according to the principles of general law which govern like charters and like contracts in Missouri and elsewhere throughout the country, was, under this rule, a question of fact in the Missouri court, as to which no testimony whatever was offered.'
No proof having been offered to support the averment that the contract was in violation of the laws of Illinois, the defense relying on the general claim that the contract was illegal, it was held that no Federal question was involved, and the case was dismissed. It was said that it should have appeared on the face of the record that the facts presented for adjudication made it necessary for the court to consider the act of incorporation, in view of the peculiar jurisprudence in Illinois, rather than the general law of the land.
Since the above case we have repeatedly held that the mere construction by a state court of a statute of another state, without questioning its validity, does not, with possibly some exceptions, deny to it the full faith and credit demanded by the statute in order to give this court jurisdiction. Glenn v. Garth, 147 U. S. 360, 37 L. ed. 203, 13 Sup. Ct. Rep. 350; Lloyd v. Matthews, 155 U. S. 222, 39 L. ed. 128, 15 Sup. Ct. Rep. 70; Banholzer v. New York L. Ins. Co. 178 U. S. 402, 44 L. ed. 1124, 20 Sup. Ct. Rep. 972; Johnson v. New York L. Ins. Co. 187 U. S. 491, 47 L. ed. 273, 23 Sup. Ct. Rep. 194; Finney v. Guy, 189 U. S. 335, 47 L. ed. 839, 23 Sup. Ct. Rep. 558.
The court of errors and appeals, conceding the general rule both in New Jersey and New York to be that a contract, void by the law of the state where made, will not be enforced in the state of the forum (Columbia F. Ins. Co. v. Kinyon, 37 N. J. L. 33, and Hyde v. Goodnow, 3 N. Y. 266), held that the state statute of New York did not declare the contract void, and that there was no decision in that state holding it to be so. In fact, the only case in the court of appeals peals in New York (Neuchatel Asphalt Co. v. New York, 155 N. Y. 373, 49 N. E. 1043) is the other way. The court of appeals in that case held that the purpose of the act was not to avoid contracts, but to provide effective supervision and control of the business carried on by foreign corporations; that no penalty for noncompliance was provided, except the suspension of civil remedies in that state, and none others would be implied. This corresponds with our rulings upon similar questions. Fritts v. Palmer, 132 U. S. 282, 33 L. ed 317, 10 Sup. Ct. Rep. 93.
With respect to the Pennsylvania statute, the court held that, although the Pennsylvania courts had held that a contract made in violation of the Pennsylvania statute was void, yet that the third plea did not contain allegations which showed that the note was given in pursuance of business carried on in Pennsylvania, and not in consummation of a single transaction; and although it was averred that plaintiff did business in that state, it was not averred that the note had nay connection with the business carried on in Pennsylvania, or that it was given for goods sold in Pennsylvania. The admitted averments may be true, and yet the note may have been given for an obligation contracted out of the state of Pennsylvania, and consequently, not in violation of its laws. Construing the third plea most strongly against the pleader, the conclusion was that it disclosed no defense in the action. This was purely a local question, and is not assignable as error here.
Whether, aside from the Federal question discussed, the courts of New Jersey should have sustained this action upon principles of comity between the states, was also a question within the exclusive jurisdiction of the state court. Finney v. Guy, 189 U. S. 335, 47 L. ed. 839, 23 Sup. Ct. Rep. 558.

By Seth Rudetsky
Ana Gasteyer
Hello from beautiful Scottsdale, Arizona! I’m here doing a concert with Jeremy Jordan, and I’m very glad to escape the cold temperatures of NYC. And I’m going to be in Vegas next weekend, so let the sun damage continue. Speaking of Vegas, I was recently remembering my very first time there in the mid-1990s. I finished working as the assistant music director on the very first reading of Side Show and immediately hopped on a plane to music supervise the first production of Forever Plaid in Vegas. My friend Jack Plotnick came to visit, and I told him about an episode of The Simpsons where the family gets robbed. Bart laments that the robbers stole his stamp collection, and the rest of his family relentlessly mock him for having a stamp collection. The phone rings and Bart picks up and hears Nelson Muntz say, “Stamp collection? Ha Ha!” I thought it was so funny. So, later that day, Jack and I go to a casino, and we’re watching a woman play blackjack. She is dealt 12 and says, “Hit me.” The dealer puts down a 2. “Hit me.” He puts down a 3, so now she has 17. She considers and then: “Hit me.” He puts down a 10. She was way 21. I immediately thought “Ha Ha” a la Nelson Muntz . . . and suddenly realized I didn’t think it, I said it out loud. I literally laughed at a woman who might have bet and lost hundreds of dollars. I was mortified. She turned around, looked at me, (Uh-oh!) and said, “Stamp collection? Ha Ha!” Seriously. It was hilarious. She must have just seen the same episode.
Anyhoo, I’m going to Vegas again, but this time to do my Seth’s Big Fat Broadway Show the afternoon of Sunday, February 27. I’ll be at The Smith Center, and I can’t wait for the nice weather. Come see me!
My show is chock-full of me deconstructing Broadway, and if you’re wondering what that is, take a gander:
Speaking of the wonderful Liz Callaway, she has an all-Sondheim show coming up at Feinstein’s/54 Below from March 23 to 26. She is a fantastic Sondheim interpreter. Don’t forget, she made her Broadway debut in Merrily We Roll Along. Get tickets here.
I’m excited about Vegas, but disappointed Celine Dion isn’t performing there anymore. I’ve never seen her perform live; I’ve only seen Ana Gasteyer perform as her. Do you remember the brilliant Saturday Night Live sketches Ana would do as Celine hosting a talk show? It was basically Celine belting nonstop and then passive-aggressively belittling every other guest for being untalented. I’m good friends with Ana, and I’ll never forget when we talked about the time she played Celine at an actual Celine Dion Madison Square Garden concert. Because Ana was literally pretending to be Celine, she had to wear exactly what Celine was wearing for the concert, which Ana described as a "ladies tuxedo with an extended cummerbund." It was the year of the Titanic song. Ana said she walked onto the stage at Madison Square Garden and launched into it. Of course, the audience at first went crazy, hearing their favorite song . . . and then began to realize it wasn’t Celine, it was Ana. Then Celine "surprised" her onstage and the audience flipped out. Ana said those kind of sketches are called sneaker uppers. Description: someone is imitating someone famous, and then the actual famous person “catches” them in the act. Like this fantastic Weekend Update with Vanessa Bayer as Jennifer Aniston:
On SNL, Ana would play Celine as incredible narcissistic and would constantly repeat, in her French Canadian accent, “I ’ave the best voice . . . in the world!” Celine, though, didn't understand what the joke was and actually thought people laughed at the sketch because Ana didn't sing well. PS, that’s crazy because Ana sings great. Well, I’m not saying art imitated life, but I’ll let the description of their rehearsal speak for itself: Celine gave Ana the rundown of how the scene in her concert would work and ended with, "Ana, it will be ’ilarious because you will come out singing and everyone will laugh because you sound so ’orrible.” I found a clip where you see Ana and Celine at that actual concert. #ExtendedCummerbund
Depending on when you read this, you might have the opportunity to see two of my livestream concerts this week. On Monday, February 21 at 8 PM ET, I have Caitlin Kinnunen from The Prom. Remember this amazing performance? This kiss happened on national television and I say Brava!
And on Thursday, February 24, I have Rob McClure. I’m so excited they just announced that Mrs. Doubtfire is officially coming back. I was so obsessed with his Conductor Cam videos. Here’s one of my favorites. I so identify with his glaring.

And finally, I got an advance copy of We Go Together, which is the story of Grease. It is so fascinating. Grease was a little show in Chicago that producers Ken Waissman and Maxine Fox thought could be expanded into a musical in NYC. The book includes interviews with the original cast, producers, director, and creative team, as well as future cast members like John Travolta. Travolta auditioned to be Danny Zuko in the national tour, but got the role of Doody because they thought he was too young. Travolta says he thought the fact he was the actual age of a high school senior would pay off in his favor (he was literally 18), but he looked too young to lead Jerry Zaks (Kenickie), Michael Lembeck (Sonny), and the other Burger Palace Boys.
The whole book shows the incredible skill it takes to create an original musical. No show is written perfectly. It takes skill to figure out what works and what doesn’t and how to fix it. One of the most interesting stories in the book is about “There Are Worse Things I Could Do.” It’s now one of the show’s best-known songs, but it was almost cut. And I mean it was extremely close to being cut. After original Rizzo Adrienne Barbeau would sing/belt her heart out, the audience would barely applaud. Now, people who take things literally would think, “I guess the song is not good.” But what’s fascinating about theatre is that it’s a combination of things that makes something work or not work. Maybe the lights aren't bright enough to see an actor’s face, or the key might not be right and the actor isn’t singing in the best part of their voice, or the song is in the wrong part of the show. Ken Waissman writes that he was standing next to their music publisher, Sylvia Herscher, watching the show, and again, the song barely got any applause. He told her they were probably going to cut it, even though they all loved the song. She told him the song was great and wasn’t the issue . . . it was the scene leading up to it. The gang didn’t care when they found out Rizzo was pregnant. So when she sang the song, the audience didn’t care either. At the next performance, Rizzo’s pals all acted concerned. They added lines where Sonny tells Rizzo that she can always talk to him about anything and Roger offers her money if she needs it. Suddenly, the exact same song got tons of applause. Here she is on the original recording sounding great:
Listen, then peace out!

It Ain’t Over Till the Fat Lady Sings
Denise Robitaille
As ISO 9001 wends its way through the revision process, there have been dozens of articles, webinars, forums, and discussions anticipating what the final product will look like. Pundits and experts, consultants and gurus are all weighing in on what’s going to happen. The prognosticators have made a run on crystal balls, decimating the fortunetelling industry. With all the predictions all we need is for the Vegas bookies to starting laying odds on what will or won’t be included in the next version of 9001.
There is a lot of stuff out in the public domain. Some of the information that has been published is very useful. It helps us all to plan. However, lots of what’s being hawked as definitive is, at best, premature.
What follows covers two things: What we currently know, and what actions are appropriate at this time.
What we know for sure
ISO 9001 is being revised. The systematic review was conducted; surveys were done and the final balloted decision was that it was appropriate and timely to revise this popular and broadly applied standard. The vote and ensuing work is intended to ensure the standard's continued relevance and usefulness in the marketplace
The structure will be based on the newly approved, high-level structure technically known as “Annex SL.” This new structure for all ISO management system standards was developed by the Joint Technical Coordination Group (JTCG ). Its aim was to achieve greater alignment and synergy between various management system standards and to hopefully diminish both redundancies and conflicts that might develop when organizations are required to conform to multiple standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 13485, AS9100, and TL9000.
The point here is that the standard’s structure will change, but there are no guarantees that the high-level structure and common text will be adopted verbatim.
The revision process has several balloting and commenting periods interspersed with review periods that allow technical experts to develop a creditable and useful document that will serve the marketplace. The TC176/SC2 technical experts will be meeting in November 2013 to review the thousands of comments that were received during the balloting of the committee draft. The amount of comments received and the deliberations that accompany the reviews of the drafts make the likelihood of changes a foregone conclusion. Therefore, no one can say for sure what the finished product will look like.
What we should do
We can break this down into two categories: do’s and don’ts.
1. Remain informed about the revision process. Things will change. And the best hedge against being surprised by the changes is current and reliable information. Since ASQ is the administrator for the US TAG to ISO TC176, articles in Quality Progress and other ASQ publications are pretty reliable because much of the material is peer reviewed. (Social media, by contrast, have little or no filters resulting in an unqualified hodge-podge of fact and opinion). You can send me questions through Quality Digest, and I’ll be happy to answer or to pass the question on to others who can respond more completely.
2. Consider the source of information on the revision. Make sure to get information from creditable sources. There are reputable individuals who have valuable information about the process, the potential changes, the rationale for those changes, and directions on how and when to make comments and voice concerns. These individuals are quite candid and forthcoming about the fact that lots of what they are talking about is subject to change. People who are either directly or indirectly involved with the standards development process are often a good resource. They know what is fact and what is conjecture. Again, you can make inquiries through Quality Digest, which will send them to me or other reliable technical experts.
3. Taking into consideration item No. 2, be especially wary of organizations offering training on how to change your system to address the impending changes. (Remember: The changes have not been definitely determined).
4. Ensure that your organization’s top managers are aware that changes are coming so that they can plan the allocation of the resources that will be needed and make necessary provisions in the budget. Once the final version is published, there is a high likelihood that some document changes will be required, and that internal auditors will need to be trained to the newly revised or additional requirements.
5. Consider joining the US TAG to ISO TC 176 so that you can participate in the process. Being a TAG member affords you the opportunity to get first-hand information about the revision process. You get to review the drafts of all active projects in the TC176 portfolio and to have your voice heard through the commenting process and the breakout sessions conducted during the twice-annual meetings. You also have the privilege of working (and networking) with extraordinary individuals who are passionate about standards and quality. Send an email to [email protected] for more information on how to join.
Don’t’s:
• Don’t make decisions based on the word of people who purport to have the inside track on what the ultimate revision will include. The nature of the standards development process debunks the concept of insider scoops.
• Don’t start revising your documentation. At this stage in the game, when things are still undecided, the risk of wasting resources by making needless changes is high. There will be lots of time to make needed revisions once we all know what’s going on.
• Don’t let anyone convince you that they know what will happen.
• Don’t worry—at least, not yet.
And finally, heed the slice of wisdom attributed to the baseball great Yogi Berra who reminded us that: “It ain’t over till the fat lady sings.

Who is Belinda Radder and where is she now?
Who is Belinda Radder and where is she now
A resident of Queen Creek, Arizona, Norman Lee Radder was found dead a decade ago. However, the investigation regarding the death of the resident is still ongoing and on March 24, 2022, Dateline released a new interview regarding the investigation which led to a new twist in the story.
Dateline is a news magazine that covers wide-ranging stories in the form of documentaries or in-depth investigations. It releases its show on NBC. It has widely covered the suspicious death story of Norman and brought it out in the form of interviews with insiders with the episodes titled, ‘In the Light of Day.’
Norman Lee Radder was believed to be dead due to suicide, but it later turned out that he was probably murdered by his stepfather-in-law. And the recent investigation by Dateline has made people curious to know about his wife Belinda Radder.
How did Belinda react to her husband’s death?
Belinda and Lee were married for years and had a small family of their own with three children. The sudden demise of her husband Lee came as a shock to her as the latter was deeply in love with her husband. Despite being troubled and having financial problems, they never let the issues affect their relationship. After the death of Lee, Belinda became completely numb and finally opened up about Lee’s death on 30th December, weeks later after his demise. She spoke about it in the NBC episode saying, “It– I was completely catatonic, frozen yet still moving,” as he was found dead due to a gunshot on the head.
Despite being a nurse, the ‘Dateline’ episode claims that Belinda never glanced at her husband, which is one of the reasons she was hauled to the police station. She explained that her stepfather had just arrived in town from California for the late holiday season and that the night before they’d gone out to dinner, returned home, and had a few drinks at the kitchen table.
According to Belinda, she went to bed around 11:30 p.m. while the two continued to drink, and it was the last time she saw Lee alive. In response to the suicide suggestion, she informed the police, “We’ve had financial difficulty,” adding, “We always seem to make it through.” It’s as if I don’t understand what’s going on. I’m not sure what you’re talking about. We don’t own guns.” She was released quickly as she appeared genuine and there was no evidence against her.
About Lee’s wife Belinda Radder:
Belinda is gradually moving on from the painful past, despite the fact that she keeps the memories of her late husband alive in her heart. Her internet presence indicates that she has a new partner with whom she is living life to the fullest, especially now that her children are all grown up. In terms of her profession, she remains in the medical field, where she currently works as an executive at a retirement center.

Tag Archives: Balraj Sahni birth centenary
Mai Baap (1957)
Posted on May 1, 2013 by dustedoff
Today is the 100th birth anniversary of one of my favourite Hindi film actors, the extremely talented, very versatile Balraj Sahni. Born on May 1, 1913 (an interesting coincidence, considering he went on to become the first president of the leftist All India Youth Federation), Balraj Sahni became a prominent writer—first in English, later in Punjabi—and, of course, a brilliant, much-respected actor, with a dignity and screen presence that made him stand apart in films as different as Do Bigha Zameen, Waqt, Kabuliwaala, Haqeeqat, Anuradha, and Sone ki Chidiya.

Federal Court Rules Against Closing Private Schools
School closures have been one of the most contentious policies of the pandemic for good reason. They are not only unscientific, with even Dr. Fauci and President Biden at many points advocating against closing schools, but they are also directly harmful to the least vulnerable sections of society, young people. A variety of literature clearly shows lockdown policies in general, but particularly school closure, have disproportionately harmed the younger segments of the population both mentally and physically. This is what makes California’s policy to close not just public schools, but mandate the closure of private schools so heinous.
On July 23, 2021, almost a year after the lawsuit started, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of California parents against the state in a case known as Brach V Newsom. The Court found that closing private schools violated an important set of case law and due process rights, although the Court did not recognize the same right for public schools.
Fox News explains the context behind Brach V Newsom by writing,
“In a suit brought forward in July 2020 by the Center for American Liberty, 20 plaintiffs challenged an order by Newsom that barred in-person teaching in 32 counties – a mandate that affected 80% of California’s children.”
The lawsuit was organized by an organization known as the Center For American Liberty, a public interest law firm specializing in protecting civil liberties. They assert,
“(T)he Governor’s order flies in the face of science, data, and the knowledge learned from the failed online education experiment of the 2020 spring semester in California’s schools, in which large portions of the children were unable to log on and access online learning — or if they could, experienced at best ineffective and at worst, nonexistent instruction.”
The Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the plaintiffs 2-1 but did not extend the ruling to public school closures. According to the majority opinion,
“California’s forced closure of their private schools implicates a right that has long been considered fundamental under the applicable caselaw—the right of parents to control their children’s education and to choose their children’s educational forum. Because California’s ban on in-person schooling abridges a fundamental liberty of these five Plaintiffs that is protected by the Due Process Clause, that prohibition can be upheld only if it withstands strict scrutiny.”
The case law they reference that extends due process protections to educational discretion are Meyer v. Nebraska (1923) and Pierce v. Society of Sisters (1925), which together form the Meyer-Pierce right, which is the right of parents to decide their children’s education. Meyer was a case involving a teacher who violated a law mandating that only English be taught in schools by teaching German. Pierce involved a set of plaintiffs who contested Oregon’s Compulsory Education Act of 1922 which mandated attendance to public school for children of certain ages.
The Meyer-Pierce right would go on to be affirmed in case after case. In particular, its explicit protection of in-person-schooling has been affirmed by case law as well. The State of California contended in its defense that Meyer-Pierce only protected the right to choose between a public and private school, not the actual form of education itself. The court rejected this argument as a far too narrow reading of the right.
As a result, this extends due process protections to private schools. That means the state could potentially close private schools; however, its policies must be narrowly tailored and not overly arbitrary. The narrowly tailored standard has been invoked by a number of judges to rule in favor of some anti-lockdown cases, although they are far and few between. In particular, an LA County judge applied the same standard to an outdoor dining ban, in which he rightfully noted that the scientific evidence as well as the state’s actions do not support such a policy.
The Court opinion also referenced an earlier Supreme Court case known as Diocese of Brooklyn v Cuomo, which challenged New York’s arbitrary attendance restrictions on churches during the pandemic. In this case, the Supreme Court found that the state lacked the evidence to justify a 10 or 25 person attendance restriction while applying looser standards to other establishments.
The 9th Circuit Court tied this into its opinion by writing
“By prohibiting in-person instruction at the relevant Plaintiffs’ schools, California effectively imposed an attendance cap of zero, which is much more restrictive than the numerical caps struck down by the Supreme Court for religious services in Diocese of Brooklyn. That alone confirms that California’s prohibition on in-person instruction is not sufficiently tailored.”
They also note that California’s policies were more severe and lengthy than any other jurisdiction, which further lends credence to the argument that its school closures were not narrowly tailored. A pandemic does not give governors the right to conduct harsh social experiments on their citizens, especially with little evidence to support it. The Court’s opinion offers a scathing rebuke of the state’s actions when they write,
“Plaintiffs presented evidence that California had failed to narrowly tailor its response inasmuch as it stubbornly adhered to an overbroad school-closure order even as evidence mounted that Covid’s effects exhibit a significant age gradient…”
Although the state certainly has the power to enact public health measures, it must also realize that it is a servant of the people, not the other way around. The state must humbly and expediently cater to its citizens as well as the constraints placed on it by the Constitution; it does not get to force people to follow its edicts at will.
It is also worth noting that dissenting opinion on this case wrote the following in response,
“We must be particularly deferential in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, as we “are not public health experts and … should respect the judgment of those with special expertise” in this area.”
This presents two notable dichotomies when it comes to lockdown litigation, those who defer to the state and its “experts” as well as those that are willing to be critical. It is an unfortunate development as even those on the Supreme Court, such as Justice Sonia Sotomayor, are deferential to the tired “listen to the experts” cliche. It is clear that the experts do not all agree with each other and it seems that judges seem to be deferring to the state’s experts, which tend to also favor the state’s political mandate. However, it is also clear that plaintiffs can convince some judges to side against lockdowns by presenting experts of their own, which is certainly a sign of hope.
This also illustrates another interesting duality that has arisen during the pandemic, which is an unquestioning deference to an abstractly defined public health establishment and those that believe that a “scientific consensus” does not trump reasonable thinking.
The Court’s ruling was a long-overdue check on the egos of California’s leaders who, through the entire pandemic, treated its citizens like lab rats. Its lockdown policies have been the most severe and the most arbitrary, paying little attention to evidence or the law. Its closure of both private and public schools violated long-established precedent regarding the rights of parents to control their children’s education while eschewing science or reason. This ruling was an all too rare affirmation of the seemingly forgotten fact that there is no pandemic clause in the Constitution that places the egos of politicians over the rights of individual citizens.

VOLUME VICorrecting Miscommunications: Language Barriers With Tenants and RealtorsBy Shamontiel L. Vaughn
America is a melting pot not just of people but languages too. Outside of English, there are 17 languages spoken regularly in the United States. In order of popularity, the top 10 are Spanish, Italian, German, French, Polish, Chinese, Tagalog, Greek, Portuguese and Japanese, reports the Census.
In Texas, Vietnamese, Hindi, Urdu, Korean and Arabic knock Italian, Polish, Greek, Portuguese and Japanese out of the top 10 list. In Florida, Arabic and Vietnamese also outrank Polish, Greek and Japanese.
Would it make sense for Realtors and landlords to become familiar with any or all of the local languages above to be able to network with a larger rental audience? Probably. Being a multilingual real estate professional can certainly help to connect with a wider clientele.
However, according to the American Academy of Arts & Sciences, between 2009 to 2013, U.S. residents ages 5 and over largely speak only English (231 million). There are an additional 30 million who speak a language other than English well, and another 30 million who can speak another language but not fluently.
So with a diverse population throughout Texas and Florida— while English is still the dominant language—how are Realtors and landlords able to communicate with nonEnglish native renters to find homes? Is it discriminatory to avoid the renter who can’t speak English? How are leases and rental costs negotiated with a language barrier? How do condo boards work with landlords and tenants who don’t speak the same language? If a renter signs a legal document without understanding it, is the property owner or realtor held liable?
In this article, find out these answers and more.
Who’s Responsible for Translating Leases?In a place like North Texas, not even the top 10 languages may cover the state’s population. For example, between 2004 to 2013, the Lone Star State got a notable increase in Ethiopian immigrants. The staff of one church, the Ethiopian Evangelical, ballooned from 250 members to thousands, and added an English-language service for the growing population of Ethiopian Americans.
Realtors who are paying attention to local trends may find themselves at a standstill when it comes to prospective clients. In a pinch, language translations on a smartphone may come in handy for quick communication between the two groups. But when it comes down to legal documents and business agreements, there must be a higher level of sophistication to handle leases and Realtor-to-renter transactions.
According to Marc Girling, managing attorney of Girling Law PLLC, the responsibility is primarily on the tenant to handle all needed translations.
“Using your example, in Ethiopia, you have two major language groups,” Girling explained. “There’s Amharic and Oromo. What happens when they speak one but not the other? Then you have another issue.”
“[No matter the language], the rule is that the duty to understand what it is you're reading, regardless of whether you're right off the boat, regardless of how unsophisticated of a consumer you are, regardless of your education, from the eyes of the law in Texas, the duty to understand the contract that you're signing is on the person signing the contract.”
And while a prospective tenant can choose to obtain a translated version of the lease, the Realtor (or landlord) is not required to sign both. Landlords can choose to solely sign the lease in the language it was originally written in. Often, that is English.
Dodging Renters With Language Barriers: Is That Discriminatory?Realtors and landlords may find it easier to not go through all the potential language complications of working with a translator to secure a renter. Would it be discriminatory if they chose not to? Yes and no.
According to the Fair Housing Act, groups that are protected against discrimination are race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status and disability.
A Realtor or landlord cannot choose to do any of the following based on the person’s national origin or race:
Set up a different criteria or application for sales procedures or income standards based on where the person once lived
Discourage the purchase or rental of a dwelling based on the race or national origin of the prospective renter
Assign the prospective renter to a particular building, neighborhood, or section of a building or neighborhood
Deny the prospective renter access to a particular listing based on language barriers with prospective renters
Prospective tenants can choose whomever they wish as a translator, including family and friends. However, it may be in their best interest to consider a professional translation service company. These organizations translate a wide variety of documents on a regular basis, everything from birth and death certificates to marketing and real estate material.
Other Language Barrier Resolutions To Keep In MindAs mentioned above, regardless of what native language the prospective tenant speaks, this person is responsible for any legally binding document that was signed and agreed to. However, Realtors may find that working with translators benefits them, too.
Bylaws outrank leases. There is one area where it may be best for Realtors (and landlords) to consider hiring a translation company, or keeping track of the translation company that the prospective renter uses: condominiums. Unlike a single-family home where the landlord has the final say (if city or state laws are excluded), condo associations have an added layer of authority.
Realtors should remind landlords, who are condo association members, that they will be held responsible for making sure all declarations and bylaws are documented and followed in the rental lease beforehand. In the event of a clash between the condo board and a prospective tenant, the landlord is the point of contact. If miscommunications arise between the condo board and the tenant, the landlord employing a translation company may be useful for handling conflict resolution.
Oral agreements may weaken court cases. While oral agreements are honored in both Florida and Texas, knowing there is a language barrier between the Realtor, landlord and/or tenant may make it that much more important to get all rental specifics down on paper. This protects all parties and possibly the translator from any miscommunications. Otherwise, the prospective tenant (or the translator) can easily say they “didn’t know that” or “no one told me,” according to Girling.
Regardless of the language barrier, real estate professionals may find a quality tenant in someone who doesn’t speak a bit of English as quickly as one who is a native English speaker. As long as all parties are willing and able to work together to communicate, this could be a long-lasting professional relationship. Even better, by the end of the leasing agreement, all parties may find themselves able to speak a new language conversationally.
The Ins and Outs of Working with Investors
While tenants of rental properties focus on factors such as property quality, location and monthly rent, investors may focus on one overarching factor: return on investment. Here’s what Realtors need to know about how investors generally decide whether they want to invest in rentals.
Rental Inspections: Don’t Wait Until Move-Outs Only
Move-in/move-out inspection and periodic inspections are important aspects of managing a rental property. By better understanding what to look for during inspections and how often to schedule them, it is possible for landlords to avoid common mistakes.
Creating a Go-To Contractor List
Agreeing to a contractual relationship, such as a service maintenance agreement, with a vendor could significantly speed up any frantic searches—especially during emergencies and late-night hours.
Navigating Out-of-State Rental Properties
Today’s housing market is a bit of a seesaw. In 2022, the Federal Reserve hiked its benchmark interest rate six times. Higher interest rates mean loans are more expensive for consumers. But no matter what happens with inflation, people need a place to live. This is leading property owners to look for a means of disposable income. And sometimes the real estate investor may choose a property from another state.
Is That Emotional Support Animal Legit?
It can be difficult for landlords to tell if someone has a legitimate ESA or simply a pet. Banning a tenant with an ESA could lead to legal action against the landlord. Fortunately, there are ways that landlords can fairly differentiate between the two to comply with the Fair Housing Act.

Ask the MB: How to Shake Hands
Q: Lately, GQ advocated screaming "ow" when a man shakes your hand too firmly (http://www.gq.com/style/blogs/the-gq-eye/2011/01/shake-it.html). I seriously thought it was April Fool's day when I read it. What does MB say about handshakes? How does one deal with shaking a woman's hand?
--Salvador
A: We're pretty sure Glenn O'Brien -- GQ's Style Guy -- is using "ow" for comedic effect. Either that or he's become exceedingly brittle in his old age. Or Conde Nast's health care coverage has a high co-pay.
Anyhow, we recommend a firmer handshake than endorsed by GQ -- "grip lightly, the way you'd pick up a baby" -- for both men and women. What sets a handshake apart has less to do with grip pressure than with one's eyes. Once you've embraced the other fella's hand, look him straight in the eye. If he reciprocates, you know you've found a man you can do business with.

HIKING MALLORCA
With an individual hiking route in Mallorca, you will discover the most beautiful corners of the Majorcan mountains on your own. It does not matter if you travel alone, as a couple, as a family or with a group of friends. You don’t have to worry about anything. Walk at your own pace, take the breaks you want and for as long as you want.
We will take care of the reservation of accommodation, luggage transport and, if necessary, transfers to the hikes before the trip. The lifeblood of the tours is the trail book, which gives you detailed descriptions of the hiking trails with map excerpts, GPS data, and tips on restaurants and attractions. So you can always find your way easily and without stress.
Special step for hiking routes
Since more than 90% of the Sierra de Tramuntana is private property, the indications are sometimes very bad. Mallorca Activities has a special right of way for individual trekking with some farmers. On the most famous hiking trail in Mallorca, GR221, the signs are very good.
If you don’t speak Spanish, that’s not a problem, many locals speak English on Mallorca. Otherwise just see it as the “challenge of the day” and try it with your hands and feet. Furthermore, you get the 24h contact on site, where you can call in case of any problems, we will also inform you about the weather conditions on site.

Just came back from watching “Death Race” in the movies. Back when I saw the trailer for this film, I thought to myself that it looks like a very safe recipe. I mean, you have Jason Statham as a driver, lots of cards, some hot girls, plenty of chases and shooting. What are the chances of it going bad? Practically none. But what are the chances of it turning into something interesting and original?
It turned out that whatever were the chances, they weren’t enough. On one hand, we indeed have Jason Statham and lots of cars, shooting, and explosions. The special effects were done nicely, and there was not much screen time without something brutal happening. On the other hand, there is nothing new. In fact, the story and the circumstances were simplified a lot, and in such a way that there is no need to explain anything or to connect the story pieces together with long talks or travels. The plot is simple and uncovers itself in all obviousity (did I just come up with a new word?) at approximately the fifth minute of the movie.
Was it bad? No, it wasn’t. It was worth every penny, and was well worth the time I spent. Chases were nice, characters were not bad, and I liked most of the effects. The whole thing is pretty dynamic and enjoyable. It was also made for the big screen. But seeing it once is enough and I doubt that I’ll buy or rent it on DVD. At least, any time soon.
An overall rating of 6 out of 10 is, I think, appropriate.

Righteous Kill
Either one of Robert De Niro and Al Pacino is enough to attract attention to the movie. When they are both in the same movie – that’s something that needs to be seen, no matter what the critics or ratings say. And that’s why I went to watch “Righteous Kill” today.
Altogether, the film was rather average – not much dynamics and action for a police movie, predictable story with a lot of cliches, dialogs really off sometimes, and so, and so forth. But. There was enough good acting, and there was enough thought provoking. I mean it’s not a philosophical movie by any measure, but it covers a few morals and gives enough time to the audience to poke around the good, the evil, and the fine line between the two.
Overall, maybe not worthy the big screen, but good enough for a DVD rent. 6.5 out of 10.

I just came back from the movies – watched “Max Payne” with a friend of mine. I wanted to see this film since I came across the trailer. I know a few people who were waiting quite a bit for this film, since there is a video game with the same title, and, if I am not mistaken, everything started with a comics. But don’t take my word for it.
The film turned out to be very pleasing visually. Lots and lots of really cool special effects, focal points, perspective changes, and the like. Lots of things are done properly – snow, water, fire, broken glass, flying bullets, explosions, and so on and so forth. And all that comes together with nice soundtrack. Pleasant experience.
As for the rest of it – the film was pretty weak. The story is one of those usual stories that you have seen in a million other stories. Characters aren’t very well developed though. And the best characters never live up to their fame. Nicely looking lady – killed in the beginning. Really evil looking guy – even worse. There is a lack of major battle, and whatever replaces it is a sorry excuse. Disappointing.
Altogether, I’d give it a 6.5 out of 10. If you like good visuals, then go see it on the big screen. You won’t be disappointed no matter how lacking the rest of the film is. But if you need more than just special effects, than wait for the DVD to come out. That’s about all I can say about this one.

Oracle and PHP – the deadly mix
WI’ve spent most of the last week getting into, around, and out of the issues related to interoperability of Oracle and PHP. Before you start laughing, cursing, and blaming, Oracle wasn’t my choice of the database for this specific project. It’s just the company already had it installed and working for the background, and there needed to be some integration with the front, which is of course MySQL and PHP based.
First thing I do, obviously, is visit PHP.net to check for the prefix of the functions that I need for Oracle. Through out my experience with PHP, that’s about the only thing I need to know to start working with the new database. Oh, and the PHP module installed to provide those functions. Oracle interface for PHP is called is called OCI8. All you need to do now is install the oci8 module.
Here comes the first trouble. oci8 is not provided as a pre-compiled package for Fedora Linux. There is an alternative yum repository – Remi, which has oci8 RPMs, but first of all, the oci8 module is compiled against somewhat outdated Oracle headers (version 10.2.0.4 instead of the latest 11.1.0.1), and it also needs to replace your native PHP and MySQL packages. I tried that, and it sort of worked, but I wasn’t happy. So I got my Fedora packages back and decided that I need to compile oci8 myself.
In order to compile oci8, one needs to download Oracle InstantClient (basic package) and some header files (devel package). These can be downloaded from the Oracle web site, for free, minus the time for the registration. The little trick here is that during oci8 compilation process, the includes are searched from locations which do not include the one from Oracle RPM. I did a simple symlink of the includes folder to where Oracle headers were, and compilation went on just fine. (Hint: otherwise you’ll get a whole lot of Zend related messages and a fatal error). Gladly, I only had to do this path correction on the Fedora 9 machine. My production server with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 compiled oci8 without any problems all by itself.
Update: more detailed instructions on the actual installation can be found here and here.
Now that oci8 installed and configured, I spent some time figuring the correct way to specify the DSN. Oracle uses some weirdly name file (tnsnames.ora) in some weird location, but luckily there is a way to go around it. More so, I recommend that you remove tnsnames.ora file altogether, since it can add to your troubles. For example, if you mix spaces and tabs as whitespaces in that file, you are screwed. So, just get rid of it. The way you specify DSN is directly in the PHP script, and you use the syntax like so: “//hostname.or.ip:port/dbname“. Intuitive, I know.
Once you’ll get connected to the server, you have a whole bag of surprises waiting for you. That is if you are too used to working with MySQL. First is the syntax. Oracle is using PL/SQL, so you wipe the dust of from that really old Pascal textbook that you have somewhere. “begin :result := some.procedure.call(:param1, :param2); end;” – that sort of thing. Secondly, you’ll be happy to know that prepared queries are supported. So your workflow will slightly change. Perl programmers will feel more at home here. oci_bind_by_name() and oci_execute() are your friends here. Oh, and while you are at, get familiar with the types of the parameters, because they are important. And don’t forget that you’ll have to bind each and every variable in the query, or get a fatal error. And since you are learning something here, get ready for the oracle errors. The most frequent one you’ll get would be something like “Failed to retreive the error message for ORA-12345”, where 12345 would be a number of the error. So you’ll google for ORA-12345 and ORA-54321 and ORA-XYZZZ a lot. But than you’ll have a wrapper library and you’ll be OK.
Update: as was noted in the comments, PL/SQL is just an option, not a requirement. Also, most of the headaches of the above paragraph could be avoided by using one of the PHP frameworks. I personally haven’t yet tried the framework yet, since I’d like to see things working directly first. Especially since we are not in the test mode only.
The bigger surprise is still waiting for you though. You are very likely to discover that OCI8 implementation for PHP is very slow. And I do mean extremely very slow. I couldn’t believe that it could be slow, so I went into the source code and OMG! It is really slow. The slow part is around fetch_all() against fetch_row(). Basically, it’s always row by row and never all, even if you tell it how many rows you need fetched.
In my case, I have the server a bit far away, and there is a possibility to get many rows back. So even for a simple query with 140 rows in results I was getting 20 seconds execution time. Oracle was serving results fast, the network was OK, machines on both sides were powerful and all, but it was still taking 20 seconds or more.
I am still trying to find the solution to this issue, but so far it seems that the current way I do it will be the way to do it. And the way I do it now is the following. Never ever run direct SQL queries. Everything goes through a stored procedure. The results are returned all in a single row. And that single row has the BLOB (CLOB actually) with all results in one single XML. Fetching works good enough to get it, and then parsing is done with one of the billion XML parsers for PHP.
In my case MiniXML worked pretty good until bigger results started coming in. That’s when I learned an important lesson. MiniXML parses XML with a regular expression. PHP has a couple of settings in the configuration file that limits the size of the memory and recursion during regex parsing – pcre.backtrack_limit and pcre.recursion_limit. If you really want to kill your server, set these to -1 (instead of default 100000) and try a regex against a 1 MB XML file. Enjoy, cause it won’t be long before everything goes down. I didn’t feel like changing from MiniXML so we just implemented some limits in the queries and stored procedures on the Oracle side, and add a few checks in PHP fail rather than crash the system.
So, to some it up, here is my experience with Oracle and PHP from the last week:
I had to register on Oracle web site to download packages
I had to re-learn my long forgotten compilation skills
I had to go read some C
I had to step on the “re-inventing the wheel” path more than once
I am parsing XML when working with the database
I had a head ache more than twice
I didn’t have much fun
After all, it works. Sort of.
One last point in this saga is about Googling. Ask me any question, and I do mean any question, about MySQL. Heck, even PostgreSQL. And the answer is just there, on the first page of Google results. In any human or programming language. For any operating system. You’ll be sorted out and working in less then a minute. Then, try asking even the simplest of the simplest questions about Oracle and PHP. Sometimes you’ll find something. Some other times, you won’t. The overall feeling I have is that not a lot of people are using Oracle with PHP, and those of them who do are in their majority not very happy.
Now I’ve joined the army.

Flickr on black
Being a huge fan of Flickr, I am always trying to bring more people to the service. Because more people = more images and more comments, which, of course, means more fun and inspiration.
One of the most frequent reasons NOT to use Flickr that I’ve heard coming mostly from amateur and professional photographers was that Flickr is only available with white background and only with up to medium-sized images. That is true. While Flick is constantly improving their service, some features are still not there. And maybe they are not coming any time soon. But. That doesn’t mean that there is no work around. After all, the world of technology is blessed with plenty of excellent open source software these days. So, here is how you can solve the problem of size and color, if you are one of those people who prefers it the other way around.
Get yourself a copy of an real web browser – Firefox.
Install Greasemonkey extension for Firefox.
Install Flickr On Black user script for Greasemonkey.
Once you’ve done the above steps, go to Flickr and find a picture that you want to enjoy on black or in a different color. On the image page, scroll down to the part where you can see “Additional information” on the right side. Among them, you’ll see a few new links. “View on black: Regular, Large” will be among them.
Click, and you are done. The link will take you to another page, which will look something like this. You can switch between Regular and Large size, as well as between black and white backgrounds right on that page.
P.S.: While you are getting Flickr on Black user script for Greasemonkey, look around. There are thousands of other scripts to customize anything and everthing from Google search results and GMail to IMDB movie information and Twitter messeging.
P.P.S.: Alternatively, you can take a look at Flickr “Lights Out” or “Flickr in mostly black and orange” user scripts for Greasemonkey.
P.P.P.S: Many Greasemonkey scripts work perfectly in browsers other than Firefox – Opera, Safari, etc. But I’d still recommend to use Firefox.

Pinnacle rolls out new B2B platform
Pinnacle has launched a new B2B platform.
The new “Pinnacle Solution,” which will expand the company’s portfolio of solutions, features two core products in the form of an iFrame API and turnkey solution.
Pinnacle said the platform will provide “increased profit potential,” as well as boasting the same reputation as its B2C offering.
Paris Smith, chief executive of Pinnacle, said: “After 20 successful years in the gaming industry, the launch of our B2B platform is the start of another exciting chapter in the history of Pinnacle. We’re known for risk management and eSports, and now others in the industry can benefit from our expertise instead of trying to compete with them.” | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3932 | {"url": "https://marebalticumgaming.com/pinnacle-rolls-out-new-b2b-platform/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "marebalticumgaming.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:19:47Z", "digest": "sha1:R3N3U3C52ZXAVDNBQGEYUWDOKDTQBXQS"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 718, 718.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 718, 9469.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 718, 5.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 718, 99.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 718, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 718, 237.7]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 718, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 718, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 718, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 718, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 718, 0.43065693]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 718, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 718, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 718, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 718, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 718, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 718, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 718, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 718, 0.03395586]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 718, 0.0475382]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 718, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 718, 0.03649635]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 718, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 718, 0.13868613]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 718, 0.68376068]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 718, 5.03418803]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 718, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 718, 4.1253082]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 718, 117.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 36, 0.0], [36, 78, 1.0], [78, 241, 1.0], [241, 372, 1.0], [372, 718, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 36, 0.0], [36, 78, 0.0], [78, 241, 0.0], [241, 372, 0.0], [372, 718, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 36, 6.0], [36, 78, 7.0], [78, 241, 26.0], [241, 372, 20.0], [372, 718, 58.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 36, 0.02857143], [36, 78, 0.025], [78, 241, 0.0], [241, 372, 0.0078125], [372, 718, 0.00884956]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 36, 0.0], [36, 78, 0.0], [78, 241, 0.0], [241, 372, 0.0], [372, 718, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 36, 0.08333333], [36, 78, 0.07142857], [78, 241, 0.04294479], [241, 372, 0.02290076], [372, 718, 0.02601156]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 718, 0.76022369]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 718, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 718, 0.48848611]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 718, -28.12662404]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 718, 28.72527182]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 718, -11.34547111]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 718, 5.0]]} |

THE REMOVAL OF PLASTIC DRINKING STRAWS
I firmly believe that the Lifestyle Group has a responsibility to protect the environment and an opportunity to initiate change for a better future. There is always more we can do to minimise waste, and we begin with a campaign to, where possible, eliminate or reduce single-use plastic in all of our VIP areas. With the support and commitment of members, guests, owners and team members we can make this change. The removal of plastic drinking straws will be implemented over the following week.
As we continue to make change for the future we have decided to launch our next campaign focused on reducing the number of disposable, single use plastic cups. Our campaign slogan is “BYOC!” which stands for Bring Your Own Cup. This campaign will be a multi-year initiative for us, until we create a change in behavior within the Lifestyle Family where disposable cups are no longer the standard method for drinks.
We will continue to explore new ways to reduce our single use waste but ultimately it will be our customers who control whether or not we achieve continued consumption in the number of beverages served in reusable cups.
I thank you for your understanding and commitment to a better tomorrow.

The APS Division of Fluid Dynamics has announced the 2022 winners of its annual Gallery of Fluid Motion video and poster contest. UNC Mathematics is extremely proud that this year’s first place prize was given to James Guan and his team for their work with Faraday waves.
This is an excerpt. The full article was published on November 28, 2022, and can be accessed here.
Faraday Waves Get Moving
It’s one of those classic physics classroom demonstrations: water in a shallow vessel placed on top of a speaker producing a loud tone generates ripples on the liquid surface. These “Faraday waves” can form a range of patterns that are normally stationary, but the ripples will move around chaotically when the sound amplitude is large. Pedro Sáenz of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and postdoctoral researcher Jian Hui Guan wondered if this chaotic motion could be converted to coherent motion by restricting the space where the waves move. The researchers set up the liquid in a circular channel and were thrilled to see that the waves moved around the loop in an orderly way. The desired behavior appeared on the first try. “This is something that will happen once in my life,” Sáenz jokes.
The video from Sáenz, Guan, and their colleagues, shows that this coherent motion can proceed either clockwise or counterclockwise by random chance, but it can also be forced in one direction by adding a sort of staircase pattern (“ratchet”) to the walls of the channel. The researchers show that this steady motion of surface waves can also be guided through a more complicated channel network and can potentially be arranged to power a pump that could move another fluid through a separate channel. They titled the video Run, Faraday, Run to playfully refer to a famous line, “Run, Forrest, run,” from the movie Forrest. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3935 | {"url": "https://math.unc.edu/math-new/run-faraday-run/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "math.unc.edu", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:40:22Z", "digest": "sha1:3GBDHANF26CZK7WFKPRNBG546XT72AWQ"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1891, 1891.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1891, 4403.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1891, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1891, 81.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1891, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1891, 297.2]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1891, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1891, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1891, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1891, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1891, 0.3852459]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1891, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1891, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1891, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1891, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1891, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1891, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1891, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1891, 0.01954397]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1891, 0.02540717]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1891, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1891, 0.00546448]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1891, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1891, 0.1284153]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1891, 0.5875]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1891, 4.796875]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1891, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1891, 4.86524124]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1891, 320.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 37, 0.0], [37, 55, 0.0], [55, 63, 0.0], [63, 335, 1.0], [335, 434, 1.0], [434, 459, 0.0], [459, 1269, 1.0], [1269, 1891, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 37, 0.0], [37, 55, 0.0], [55, 63, 0.0], [63, 335, 0.0], [335, 434, 0.0], [434, 459, 0.0], [459, 1269, 0.0], [1269, 1891, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 37, 6.0], [37, 55, 3.0], [55, 63, 2.0], [63, 335, 47.0], [335, 434, 18.0], [434, 459, 4.0], [459, 1269, 136.0], [1269, 1891, 104.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 37, 0.0], [37, 55, 0.0], [55, 63, 0.0], [63, 335, 0.01486989], [335, 434, 0.06382979], [434, 459, 0.0], [459, 1269, 0.0], [1269, 1891, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 37, 0.0], [37, 55, 0.0], [55, 63, 0.0], [63, 335, 0.0], [335, 434, 0.0], [434, 459, 0.0], [459, 1269, 0.0], [1269, 1891, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 37, 0.16216216], [37, 55, 0.16666667], [55, 63, 0.25], [63, 335, 0.0625], [335, 434, 0.03030303], [434, 459, 0.16], [459, 1269, 0.02098765], [1269, 1891, 0.01768489]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1891, 0.84096336]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1891, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1891, 0.65025389]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1891, -62.46573865]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1891, 28.95552307]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1891, -32.32326825]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1891, 13.0]]} |

Was Moses High on Mount Sinai? If Yes, What Follows?
Benny Shanon is quoted by The Guardian as saying:
As far as Moses on Mount Sinai is concerned, it was either a
supernatural cosmic event, which I don't believe, or a legend,
which I don't believe either. Or finally, and this is very
probable, an event that joined Moses and the people of Israel under
the effect of narcotics.
The thunder, lightning and blaring of a trumpet which the Book of
Exodus says emanated from Mount Sinai could just have been the

These speculations of Professor Shanon raise some interesting questions. I take Shanon to be saying that Moses on Sinai (i) really did have an unusual experience, and that therefore there is nothing legendary about the report in Exodus of this experience, but that (ii) this experience was not supernaturally caused, but caused by Moses' ingestion of a psychotropic drug, and that the etiology of the experience shows that the experience was nonveridical. Thus God did not reveal the Torah to Moses on Sinai; Moses had a drug-induced nonveridical experience of God revealing the Torah to him.
Question One
One question concerns the validity of the inference from
1. Subject S under the influence of drug D experiences that p
2. S's experience that p is nonveridical.
Simply put, the question is whether one can validly infer the nonveridicality of an experience if the experience was had while the subject of the experience was under the influence of a drug.
Surely this is a non sequitur. Right now, under the influence of caffeine, I note that my coffee cup is empty. This is consistent with the perceptual experience of the cup's being empty being veridical, which it is. So from the mere fact that a subject is 'on drugs,' it does not follow that that any of the subject's experiences are nonveridical. Now caffeine is a very mild drug. But suppose I was I was on a combination of caffeine, nicotine, marijuana, and methampehtamine. Even then one could not infer that the perception in question was nonveridical. Even on a dose of LSD-25 most of one's perceptual experiences remain veridical. In the case of Moses, from the fact, if it is a fact, that he was under the influence of a psychotropic drug while on Sinai, it does not follow that his experience of being addressed by God and being given the Decalogue was nonveridical.
(And anyway, aren't we always on 'drugs'? The consciousness we enjoy in this life is brain-mediated, and the brain is the site of innumerable electro-chemical reactions. In this life at least, 'No consciousness without chemistry.' Our brains are always 'on drugs.' But we don't take this fact as ruling out veridical perceptions, valid reasonings, true judgments, correct moral intuitions, etc.)
Returning to the case at hand, if you begin by assuming that there is no God, then it is plausible to explain the Sinai experience by saying that it was drug-induced. But that simply begs the question against the theist.
The crucial point is that a subject's being on drugs is logically consistent with the veridicality of his experiences; therefore, one cannot infer from the fact, if it is a fact, that Moses was under the influence of a psychedelic or psychotropic drug that his experience was nonveridical. And that holds true for anyone's mystical or religious experience.
If, however, there were independent reasons for believing that a certain experience was nonveridical, then one could explain the occurrence of the experience in terms of the influence of the drug. But the occurrence/nonoccurrence of an experience is not to be confused with the veridicality/nonveridicality of the content of an experience. So questions about how an experience arose, whether by normal or abnormal means, are distinct from questions about the content of the experience. To fail to observe this distinction may lead one to commit the Genetic Fallacy. It is so-called to highlight the fact that questions about origin or genesis are logically independent of questions about truth and falsehood. If it has been antecedently established that the content of an experience is nonveridical, then it is legitimate to inquire into the origins of the experience. But one cannot demonstrate that the content of the experience is nonveridical by adducing facts about its origin.
So even if Shanon could prove that Moses and the people around him were under the influence of powerful drugs, that would not support his contention that nothing supernatural occurred on Sinai. It would not because it is consistent with theism. How does Shanon know that the drugs Moses supposedly took did not open "the doors of perception" (in Aldous Huxley's phrase) allowing him access to the transcendent, as opposed to shutting him up among figments of his own imagination?
Question Two
There is a second question whose full discussion should be reserved for a subsequent post. It is clear that mathematical and other truths can be grasped whether one is awake or dreaming, sober or drunk, on drugs or not. Sometimes when I dream I know that I am dreaming. This awareness that I am dreaming is veridical despite the fact that I have it while dreaming. After all, I am not dreaming that I am dreaming. Or if a valid proof occurs to a mathematician in a dream, it is no less valid because the mathematician is dreaming. Why should not the same hold for moral truths? If it is true that it is morally obligatory not to kill human beings, then the experiencing of this truth is veridical whether or not the subject is awake or sleeping, sober or drunk, on drugs or not. So even if it could be proven that Moses was under the influence of powerful drugs on Sinai, what relevance would that have? At the very most it might cast doubt on the veridicality of Moses' perception of God, but not on the veridicality of his experiencing of the content of the Decalogue. If it is true that one ought not kill, then it is true whether or not God exists. And if it is true that one ought not kill, then one's intuiting that it is true is veridical whether one is awake of dreaming, sober or drunk, on drugs or not, or a brain in a vat as opposed to a brain in a skull.
Suppose that all of Moses' perceptions of unusual physical phenomena while he was on Mt. Sinai were hallucinatory and thus nonveridical as the result of his ingestion of a drug. Suppose there was no burning bush, etc. It could still have been the case that he had veridical insights into objective moral truths.

“2 Teams, 1 Cause” Rival volleyball teams honor Richmond police officer
By Natasha Pearson
New Castle, Indiana – The New Castle Fieldhouse was filled with the sound of school spirit. “Richmond and New Castle used to be in the same conference. So it was a big rivalry,” said Jason Williams, New Castle parent.
“It’s like chills because it’s just high school rivalries. You’ll always have it, you’ll have it with every sport,” said Brandy Brown, parent fund treasurer of the New Castle Volleyball Club, “but it’s just nice to see that they’re all, they know what they’re doing out there.”
Symbolizing both coming together for Richmond Police Officer Seara Burton, prior to the game, both teams did warm-ups and posed for pictures in shirts reading “2 Teams… 1 Cause”.
It’s been a little more than two weeks since the 4-year veteran and K-9 officer was shot during a traffic stop on August 10th. Since then, she’s been in a Dayton hospital, fighting for her life. “I honestly just couldn’t imagine the tragedy,” Brown said. “She was out there to help someone, and it’s just heartbreaking.”
Williams, who has a daughter on the New Castle team, is also a K-9 handler for the Henry County Sheriff’s Office. He reached out to Brown, who said they were able to use extra money from the parent fund to buy custom t-shirts and wristbands to sell at Thursday’s game in Officer Burton’s honor. “As a fellow officer and fellow K-9 officer, I feel that’s the least I could do,” said Williams.
“In a couple weeks time, it’s really come together,” he said. “With the two teams, it made sense. Two teams, one cause, the two teams battling it out for Seara.”
All proceeds from the sales will go directly to Officer Burton and her family. “A lot of people think all of the hospital bills and things are taken care of, but there’s a lot of expense that goes along with everything that’s going on with Seara that’s not covered,” Williams said. “We want to make sure that we do our part to help her out and help her family out.”
On Thursday, along with the teams and spectators, local law enforcement was also in attendance, dressed in uniform to show support. “They’re just all a family, and that’s what they do, and that I feel like should make everybody feel even safer,” said Brown. “Even in their off time, they’re here. They’re always available to support any of them when anything goes on.”
According to Williams, it’s encouraging to see communities come together and lift each other up during times of tragedy. “It shows we live in a society where people still care,” he said. “They care about the police.

Models of Premillennialism

Title: Models of Premillennialism
Publisher: Cascade Books
Author: David L. Mathewson and Sung Wook Chung
The meaning of "the millennium"--the thousand-year reign of Christ spoken of in Revelation 20--has been controversial for much of the church's history, and even the main perspectives on the matter turn out to be more variegated than is often realized. This book takes the oldest of those options, premillennialism, and offers an excellent introduction to a variety of models of premillennialism currently available, including classical dispensationalism, progressive dispensationalism, historic premillennialism, thematic premillennialism, and historic premillennialism in Asian context. The product of collaboration between a systematic theologian and a New Testament scholar, this book provides a fascinating reference tool for anyone interested in what Scripture teaches about the last things of redemptive history, the Parousia, and the millennial kingdom.

28th Annual Mayor’s Easter Egg Hunt will take place on Saturday April 9, 2022 10:00 AM-12:00PM at Westfield High School
By City of Westfield
Mayor Mike McCabe is happy to announce that the 28th Annual Mayor’s Easter Egg Hunt will take place on Saturday April 9, 2022 10:00 AM-12:00PM at Westfield High School. This is the second year the Easter Egg Hunt will be a “drive through” style event. Children ages 1-10 and their families will follow the trail to spy Easter eggs colored by the City’s school children, while tuning into to a special “Bunny-Hop” radio station for a sing along. Local celebrities like the Bomber Bird, Tech Tiger and the Easter Bunny will be there to share a goody bag with each child. Donations of non-perishable food items will be collected to benefit the Westfield Food Pantry. We look forward to a wonderful event, pending good weather. In the case of inclement weather, this event will be canceled.

Co-dependency Malaise
Robert Burney once coined the term "co-dependent" in the 1940s and defined it as someone who depends on another person to meet their emotional needs. Co-dependency is putting somebody else's needs before your own.
Thereby, being co-dependent is hardly the same thing as simply being dependent. A co-dependent person may feel responsible for the happiness or well-being of others — especially if they have experienced abuse or neglect growing up.
This term was widely used in the 1950s in the context of Alcoholics Anonymous, and Co-dependency behaviour is often found in alcoholic families. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3944 | {"url": "https://mentalhealthtraining.info/tag/abusive", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "mentalhealthtraining.info", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:32:14Z", "digest": "sha1:WFNQ6CAMURUOHWTIE3WGLJL4OXXEJRNB"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 666, 666.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 666, 13736.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 666, 6.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 666, 122.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 666, 0.98]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 666, 180.6]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 666, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 666, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 666, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 666, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 666, 0.46153846]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 666, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 666, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 666, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 666, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 666, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 666, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 666, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 666, 0.02762431]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 666, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 666, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 666, 0.00769231]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 666, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 666, 0.15384615]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 666, 0.76699029]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 666, 5.27184466]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 666, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 666, 4.23509883]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 666, 103.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 29, 0.0], [29, 54, 0.0], [54, 76, 0.0], [76, 290, 1.0], [290, 522, 1.0], [522, 666, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 29, 0.0], [29, 54, 0.0], [54, 76, 0.0], [76, 290, 0.0], [290, 522, 0.0], [522, 666, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 29, 4.0], [29, 54, 4.0], [54, 76, 2.0], [76, 290, 34.0], [290, 522, 36.0], [522, 666, 23.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 29, 0.0], [29, 54, 0.0], [54, 76, 0.0], [76, 290, 0.01941748], [290, 522, 0.0], [522, 666, 0.02836879]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 29, 0.0], [29, 54, 0.0], [54, 76, 0.0], [76, 290, 0.0], [290, 522, 0.0], [522, 666, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 29, 0.06896552], [29, 54, 0.08], [54, 76, 0.09090909], [76, 290, 0.01401869], [290, 522, 0.00862069], [522, 666, 0.02777778]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 666, 0.07794911]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 666, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 666, 0.00017279]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 666, -15.91484669]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 666, 6.15773078]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 666, 7.11617025]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 666, 5.0]]} |

'Demon Barber of Fleet Street' to terrorize PAC
This weekend at the Mary D’Angelo Performing Arts Center, Mercyhurst students, faculty and staff will present their representation of the Steven Sondheim musical “Sweeney Todd.”
Performances are scheduled for Friday and Saturday, April 16 and 17, at 8 p.m., and Sunday, April 18, at 2 p.m.
Unlike musicals produced at Mercyhurst in the past few years, this show is not a mainly student-run affair. Erie Playhouse veteran David Matthews, who oversaw the Mercyhurst student-run production of “Sweet Charity” last year, is directing this concert version of “Sweeney Todd.”
Senior Kayla Nash has been acting as producer for the show, junior Claire Hinde has assisted with staging and junior Lauren Haines is conducting the orchestra. Andrew Rainbow, formerly of Erie, will be returning from New York City to be the pianist for the performance. Sophomore Chad Bonifazi will appear as Sweeney Todd, with Jessica Provenzano, a 2007 graduate who now works in Mercyhurst’s Residence Life Department, as Mrs. Lovett.
Sondheim’s “Sweeney Todd” tells the story of the “demon barber of Fleet Street,” a brooding and unforgiving barber who uses his blade to take revenge for previous wrongs done against him and his family, killing many who enter his barber shop for a shave. He and the equally twisted Mrs. Lovett then use the meat from the dead corpses to create meat pies to sell in Mrs. Lovett’s pie shop, since “business needs a lift.” The Broadway show first opened in 1979 and has since seen many reinterpretations, including the Tim Burton movie starring Johnny Depp as Sweeney Todd.
“David chose ‘Sweeney Todd’ because it’s one of his favorite musicals – he loves Stephen Sondheim’s work. It’s also a very difficult show with an interesting concept,” Eleanor Logan, Matthews’s assistant, said.
Matthews’s association with the Erie Playhouse has been helpful to the production, as “Sweeney Todd” was performed at the Playhouse several years ago. The set platforms for the show have been borrowed from the Playhouse, as well as costumes and wigs.
As Logan describes it, “Sweeney Todd” is really “more like an opera” than a typical musical, as there is little unsung dialogue. In the concert version that the Mercyhurst performers will be presenting, the chorus members are also often seated in the back. Logan explains, however, that “They are not just stuck in the back the whole time. The chorus moves back and forth throughout the show, and some of the chorus members have small solos.”
“Sweeney Todd” features a strong cast of both music and non-music majors and even some Mercyhurst faculty and staff. Logan said, “Everything is going great, and we have an amazing cast. The voices are phenomenal, and everyone has been taking direction very well.”
Although there is still much work to be done before opening night, Logan and the others seem confident that they will present an excellent show.
Tickets for “Sweeney Todd” are just $1 with a valid Mercyhurst ID and can be purchased at the PAC box office or by calling 814-824-3000.

Guam Pushes Forward on Medical Marijuana Despite Fear of Federal Crackdown
"I just want patients to know that we're doing everything we can to get this done for you," said Guam Senator Dennis Rodriguez.
Legislators in the U.S. territory of Guam are working hard to draft a medical marijuana program for the island's residents, despite fears that Attorney General Jeff Sessions' threatened crackdown on legal cannabis will extend all the way to the Pacific. Last week, a legislative committee helmed by Guam Senator Dennis Rodriguez made changes to the first draft of the proposed bill, and intend to submit an amended version at a public hearing held this Thursday.
Voters approved the territory's medical marijuana program two years ago, but the process of drafting regulations is still not entirely complete. In the new draft of regulations, the committee established a a maximum limit to the amount of medical cannabis that can be dispensed — 2.5 ounces every 14 days — as well as provisions for a tracking system. "If all goes well, I'm hoping we can get these rules passed before Christmas," Rodriguez told the Pacific Daily News. "That means it's very possible we'll see this industry up and running next year. I wish it could have been done sooner. Looking forward, I just want patients to know that we're doing everything we can to get this done for you."
One of the primary concerns confounding legislators' attempts to kickstart the territory's medical cannabis program is the fear of a federal crackdown. According to Rodriguez, local physicians have said they are afraid of losing their licenses or even being prosecuted for recommending medical cannabis to their patients. "This fear exists because doctors lack guidance about the application of federal law to their circumstance, and what their rights are," the Senator explained.
Currently, the U.S. Department of Justice is prohibited from prosecuting these physicians, or anyone else involved in a state-legal medical cannabis program, thanks to an annual amendment to a federal spending bill that specifically defunds any attempts by the DOJ to interfere with legal cannabis. The future of this amendment is uncertain, though, after the GOP leadership in Congress blocked a vote on the amendment earlier this year. Proponents of the amendment were able to extend the protections until December 8th, and again until December 22nd, but if Congress fails to pass the spending bill or votes against the amendment, these protections will end.
Even if the amendment does not get extended, Guam could still avoid federal interference in its medical marijuana program. In Colorado, Rep. Jared Polis said that state officials can block federal intervention by preventing local law enforcement from collaborating with federal law enforcement seeking to pursue cannabis prosecutions. "I will push back on any federal effort to interfere with our laws and not share information if it's not related to a criminal investigation under our own law or ordered by a court," Congressman Jared Polis said during a Reddit Ask Me Anything this week. "The federal government has very limited law enforcement resources in the states, most of law enforcement is in the hands of cities, counties, and the state and so as long as we don't cooperate it would be hard, almost impossible, for there to be a major federal-only enforcement action."

Rock ‘n’ Rides Returns to Royal Oak
Live music, carnival rides and tasty treats. Metro Detroiters eager for the return of outdoor entertainment for the entire family have much to look forward to in the coming weeks. Rock ‘n’ Rides Royal Oak returns Thursday, June 17 through Sunday, June 20, in downtown Royal Oak, just in time for the start of summer.

This outdoor event, which debuted in 2019, is back with more rides and attractions, including the Royal Oak Block Party now with DJs and special guest food trucks, a kick-off community event and a vaccine clinic with fun incentives and more. Due to the pandemic, the festival was not hosted in 2020.
“Rock ‘n’ Rides signals hope and a sense of normalcy. People are eager to return outdoors for community events, and we’re happy to deliver that and still have safety protocols in place,” said Jon Witz, event producer. “The event is a wonderful opportunity to bring the community together to feature local musicians, entertainers and food trucks, all excited to get back to work and recover from challenges of the past year.”
Keeping staff, festivalgoers and participants safe and healthy is a priority at Rock ‘n’ Rides Royal Oak. Event organizers will display signage encouraging unvaccinated guests to wear masks and keep a social distance, while requiring food and beverage staff to wear masks while serving. Added cleaning protocols for rides and the festival site, along with additional hand sanitizing and washing stations also will be in place.
Going one step further, Rock ‘n’ Rides Royal Oak is pleased to partner with Henry Ford Health System to host a COVID-19 vaccine clinic in an effort to get more people inoculated. The Henry Ford Vaccine Clinic will be held from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Thursday, June 17, in the parking lot just east of The Rock on 3rd pub and grub (112 E. 3rd St.). Free admission tickets to the festival will be given to anyone that receives a vaccination at the clinic. Individuals also will receive a carnival wristband good for free rides on any day of the festival or two free tickets to the Soaring Eagle Arts, Beats & Eats festival on Labor Day weekend.
A Family-Friendly Carnival Atmosphere for A Good Cause
The celebration includes a carnival comprised of the hottest family and thrill rides, including the Cliffhanger, Ring of Fire, Screamer, Sizzler, Vertigo and more. An expanded footprint will make room for 20 attractions this year. $1 from the sale of each carnival wristband will go to Open Hands Food Pantry in Royal Oak and Forgotten Harvest, courtesy of Kroger.
Rock ‘n’ Rides Royal Oak has a jam-packed lineup of activities for kids, including live entertainers ranging from magicians to musicians and more on the Flagstar Family Stage. Additionally, The Detroit News is sponsoring free hands-on arts and crafts experiences to engage youngsters from Arts & Scraps, allowing them to create a take-home remembrance of their time at the festival. A schedule of the children’s entertainment lineup can be found at the conclusion of this release.
A Rockin’ Block Party with Special Guest Food Trucks and DJs
The “Rock” aspect of the festival will broaden its programming for 2021, as Downtown Royal Oak will transform 5th Avenue between Washington and Center streets into a party for the grown-ups. The Royal Oak Block Party will feature the all new House of Dank stage with live DJs, including Movement Festival DJs, Zen Zero of 5th Dimension and VSRL of 5th Dimension, as well as special guest food truck appearances throughout the weekend from the likes of Grampies Clam Shell, Hog Heaven, Hogback BBQ Pit, Crepe Day-Twah, Island Noodles and more.
It also will be home to the Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort Music Stage, featuring a rotation of local, high energy rock bands throughout the weekend. Some of metro Detroit’s finest musical talent scheduled to perform include headliners Raising the Dead, a Grateful Dead tribute band; the legendary veterans of the Detroit music scene The Reefermen; and the ever entertaining Cast Iron Cornbread. A complete schedule can be found at the end of this press release.
Traditional Carnival Treats
A variety of mouth-watering carnival fare also will be on hand to munch on. Festivalgoers can enjoy tried and true favorites, such as freshly dipped corn dogs, funnel cakes, elephant ears and homemade lemonade, as well as the opportunity to make their own slushies. Additionally, downtown Royal Oak’s award-winning, walkable community offers a variety of dining and beverage venues that festivalgoers can support before, during and after attending Rock ‘n’ Rides.
Festival Kick-Off – Community Day
Rock ‘n’ Rides Royal Oak is kicking off the festival with Community Day presented by Kroger and The Detroit News on Thursday, June 17. Community Day will offer 1,500 local kids and their families free carnival wristbands, plus lunch for the first four hours of the festival by partnering with The Children’s Center, Courageous Kids, Franklin Wright Settlements, Metro Detroit Youth Clubs, The Rainbow Connection, The Ted Lindsay Foundation HOPE Center, Vista Maria and more to help the deserving families they service.
“The Rainbow Connection is thrilled to be a part of this year’s Community Day at Rock ‘n’ Rides,” said George J. Miller, Executive Director, The Rainbow Connection. “Granting wishes to kids in Michigan battling a life-threatening illness is our main mission, but we often look for partners in the community to help with what we call enhancements. Rock ‘n’ Rides allows our families an opportunity to enjoy a day of having fun right here in our community. Thank you to Jon Witz and his amazing team!”
Many local nonprofits and community organizations have partnered with Rock ‘n’ Rides Royal Oak, each receiving a portion of gate or beverage sales. They include Metro Detroit Youth Clubs, Open Hands Food Pantry, Royal Oak First United Methodist Church, Royal Oak Football and Cheer Teams, Royal Oak Schools Performing Arts Committee, St. Paul Lutheran Church and Zeta Omega Zeta, with additional groups to be added in the days ahead.
Tickets and Admission
The festival opens to the public at 4 p.m. Thursday, June 17, and admission is $5. Festival entrance is free on Friday until 5 p.m.; after that, the price is $5. Children under 3 are free at all times.
Carnival ride wristbands can be purchased during the festival for $18 per person on Thursday, June 17, and $28 from Friday, June 18 through Sunday, June 20.

Is Mexico’s militarization plan working?
Photo: https://www.proceso.com.mx/
Mexican federal authorities have associated rising violence with drug trafficking since the beginning of the 20th century – dating back to 1917, when the Mexican Constitution prohibited drugs, with the goal of preventing violence.
And, so, when Mexico’s former President Felipe Calderón first declared a formal war on drugs in 2006, his decision had a long history.
The U.S. government supported this war with a US$3.4 billion military agreement, called the Merida Initiative, which began in 2007 and lapsed in 2021.
The plan’s tactics – including the Mexican military’s targeting and killing of drug cartel leaders – did not quell the rising violence, which continued to spread and intensify over the past 16 years.
Mexico has tried to address this rise in drug cartel activity and crime with different measures, including sending 128,000 Mexican soldiers to fight drug cartels and other criminal groups in Mexico’s streets – a violation of Mexico’s original Constitution that prohibited the use of the military for police work within the country.
In October 2022, Mexico approved a constitutional reform that allows the military to carry out domestic law enforcement through 2028.

Senior Analyst for Strategy at the Center for Security Policy Michael Waller on Senator Ron Johnson and the Capitol Riots
Live from Music Row Friday morning on The Tennessee Star Report with Michael Patrick Leahy – broadcast on Nashville’s Talk Radio 98.3 and 1510 WLAC weekdays from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. – host Leahy welcomed Senior Analyst for Strategy at the Center for Security Policy in Washington, D.C., and The Federalist contributor Michael Waller to the newsmakers line to comment upon Senator Ron Johnsons’s hearing and media backlash in which he referenced Waller’s eyewitness testimony at the Capitol riots on January 6.
Leahy: We are joined now on our newsmaker line by J. Michael Waller, who had a terrific article last month at The Federalist. No, Senator Ron Johnson didn’t promote a conspiracy theory about the Capitol riot. Welcome to The Tennessee Star Report Michael. Nice to talk to you again.
Waller: Hey, it’s great to be back.
Leahy: Let me just set the groundwork for this. I have been arguing on the air for several months now that Joe Biden is a legal but not legitimate president of the United States for a number of reasons. Mostly focused on the unlawful election procedures that led up to the 2020 election in the key states, Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and the failure of state legislatures to convene to review those processes.
And then, of course, the failure that happened in Washington at the time of the meeting of the joint session of Congress on January 6, the day of this Capitol riot. Now, you’ve looked at this and you’ve written a lot about what really happened that day. Tell us about what you’ve written about and what Senator Ron Johnson has explained about what you observed.
Waller: Sure. I wrote about what I saw because I was there. So it was first hand accounts. I was at the West front of the Capitol on January 6 at the march from the White House to the Capitol when President Trump gave his talk at the White House. And what I observed on the ground as an eyewitness had no resemblance to what was reported and popularly believed, even though those things happened, a lot of those things happened as well.
Really, it was just a huge crowd of ordinary Americans who had voted for President Trump, who were upset about what you were just talking about. Not the election results themselves, they could have accepted a legitimate election loss. They were upset about what they saw as illegal or otherwise rings electric results in certain states where their votes were stolen from them. But it was not an angry mob like the media reported.
We came all the way to Washington from all around the country and we got to see or hear the President speak to us personally. We’re all marching together down to the Capitol and we’re going to express our views. And that was that. Where it went badly was that for weeks, if not since November, this was maybe up to two months, certainly for several weeks, there were organized groups that had trained and prepared to exploit that large crowd for its own purposes and to wage violence that day to attack the Capitol building.
And the Capitol police were completely unprepared for it. The city police of Washington, D.C., that do a fine job at crowd control when they’re allowed to by the mayor, there were not many of them out there, and they didn’t expect any violence. And sure enough, when the organized groups and you could see this happen with military precision, especially looking back at the videos that we shot, just amateur videos showing that this was a covert cadre that had come in with the purpose of committing violence that day. And of course, the media was all over it, saying that it was President Trump’s legitimate supporters. It was not that way at all.
Leahy: And Senator Ron Johnson has talked about that and has been criticized for it. Tell us about that.
Waller: Yes. Ron Johnson is one of the few who’s not afraid to speak his mind and not afraid to use his staff time and his own time to follow up on leads to questions that people might have in their heads and that few of them asked personally. And he did. He was chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee until early or late January, now he’s in the minority.
Senator Amy Klobuchar is chair of a larger committee. So there are two Senate committees all run by Democrats put together to start the first round of investigative hearing. And Senator Johnson raised at that hearing the idea that maybe this wasn’t tens and hundreds of thousands of armed violent conservative Trump supporters.
Maybe it was just a few trained radicals who did this. And so he read portions of my article in The Federalist into the record and asked if the rest of it be entered as eyewitness evidence. And from what I understand, that was the first piece of eyewitness evidence that was introduced into the Senate investigation. He itemized the four different cadre groups that I saw at the time and started asking questions about it. And then he was just (Inaudible talk) because it didn’t fit the narrative.
Leahy: Now let’s talk about this a little bit. Has anyone speculated or is there any evidence about who these radical organizers planned in advance or who are they affiliated with? Is there any information on that out there?
Waller: Yes, there is. In fact, we heard it at the time and I didn’t put it in the article because I didn’t want to name a group falsely, but there was one group was called The Oathkeepers. There were some members of the Proud Boys there. And there were some groups that we didn’t know about and didn’t know their names.
But we did recognize other groups just because they were wearing the insignia on their clothes or identified the people who they were at the event. And this was the other thing, I wrote the article, not for anybody to read, but I wrote them as my own private notes so that I would remember later exactly what I saw on January 6 without any coloring or adjustment from what we later picked up elsewhere.
And we put more information together that colors the view of the past. I wanted this to be a snapshot of exactly what I saw at the time. But there was another group there, and I didn’t know who it was because it doesn’t have a formal membership. But they were more radicalized militants who were wearing MAGA clothes or Trump clothes, but they didn’t fit in.
There were a lot of spirited people there and some rowdy ones of course. Plenty of them. And they were wearing Trump gear. But there was one group where they didn’t fit in. They were acting cautious, paranoid even. They were clustered together in small groups, and they ran ahead forward with a sense of mission as if they knew what they were doing. But they really felt awkward, and they really didn’t fit in.
And this march, it’s about a mile and a half walk from the Capitol to the White House or the White House to the Capitol. And people were just saying hello and chatting and stuff so that they could take pictures of the other people as a group. And asking, hey, can you guys take pictures for us? And then you strike up a conversation about where you’re from. And they’re just, you know, people were obviously in D.C. for the first time.
I’ve been here for almost 40 years. They were just chatting with them. But these people you couldn’t chat with them and they looked to me like Antifa or troublemakers, but I wasn’t sure. And I said so in the article. I said, this other cadre dressed this way, acting this way looked like left wingers like Antifa, but I wasn’t sure. And regardless, I didn’t see them cause any trouble. (Inaudible talk)
Leahy: Has there been any follow-up from law enforcement on these group claims of yours?
Waller: Yes there has. But here’s the important thing. What the media did was they took that little section saying that I saw people who I thought might be Antifa but I didn’t see them do anything wrong. They twisted Ron Johnson’s words to say that he was accusing Antifa of being behind the Capitol attack and then they just ripped into him. And me too also. They said that this is crazy, paranoid talk. There’s no evidence.
Leahy: And it was just Michael Waller and what you saw that you wrote down. Michael Waller with The Federalist. Thanks so much for joining us today. Keep us posted on what develops here.
Waller: You bet.
Crom Carmichael Discusses the Historical Perspective of the Sedition Act of 1798 and Compares it to Today’s MSM
Live from Music Row Monday morning on The Tennessee Star Report with Michael Patrick Leahy – broadcast on Nashville’s Talk Radio 98.3 and 1510 WLAC weekdays from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. – host Leahy welcomed the original all-star panelist Crom Carmichael to the studio.
During the second hour, Carmichael analyzed the Sedition Act of 1798 from a historical perspective and compared it to today’s mainstream media attempts to compare situations between Trump supporters and those on the left that are not of equal value.
Leahy: We are joined as we almost always are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6:30 a.m by the original all-star panelist Crom Carmichael. Crom, good morning.
Leahy: Did you have any trouble driving in?
Carmichael: Not today.
Leahy: Not today. Yeah, so not coming in from Nashville to the studio? Not a lot of snow on the ground?
Carmichael: Not from Green Hills.
Leahy: Green Hills. Well, when I came in earlier today there was some coming up from Spring Hill. Crom, you are a student of history. And one of the reasons we study history is so we try not to repeat the mistakes of the past over the weekend. I was doing a little research on a mistake of the past that it’s rearing its ugly head again. I speak of the Sedition Act of 1798 and I’ll read here from the history of the House of Representatives.
In one of the first tests of freedom of speech, the House passed the Sedition Act in 1798 permitting the deportation, fine, or imprisonment of anyone deemed a threat or publishing ‘false scandalous or malicious writings against the government of the United States.’ This was an era when the newspapers of the day were highly partisan and John Adams was President. He was part of the now-defunct Federalist Party.
Thomas Jefferson and James Madison were developing what was then called the Democrat-Republican Party. Which is the Democrat Party of today. So they passed this law that says you can’t criticize the president. And it was very unpopular. And ultimately that particular law had a life span that ended and when Thomas Jefferson was elected president in the 1800s when the Democratic-Republican Congress let that law expire. But here we are, gosh 220 years later and that issue seems to be coming up again.
Carmichael: Well, here’s the part that is kind of interesting about that. What I’d like to find out, Michael, is when the “Republican” of the “Democrat-Republican Party,” when that was dropped. I want to know when it became exclusively the Democrat Party and not the Democrat-Republican party. Because Abraham Lincoln was the founder of the Republican Party.
Leahy: We call that today the Republican Party.
Carmichael: Because at some point between 1800 and Lincoln’s ascendancy to the presidency, the party of Jefferson dropped the word Republican. They had to have otherwise Lincoln couldn’t have been the founder of the Republican Party. But what is going on now I guess because I wasn’t alive then is very similar. But the Federalist Party at that time is from the Republican Party.
It says from the noted historian Gordon Wood who says the Federalist Party never thought that they were a party. They thought they were the government. And so any opposition to the government was then naturally considered to be seditious. And so that to me is the tie-in today. But here’s what’s going on now in the country.
You have you had that law of 1798 which didn’t last long and the public hated it. But now you’re seeing for example you’re seeing the left, and this isn’t just the politicians but it does include the politicians. Margaret Sullivan a Washington Post media columnist wrote this week, ‘corporations that advertise on Fox News should walk away declaring that the outlet’s role in the 400,000 U.S. lives lost to the pandemic and its disastrous attack on January sixth has been deadly.’
And so therefore the competition of Fox News is literally trying to cancel Fox News calling on the advertisers to stop advertising. But they go further. Nicholas Kristof of The New York Times calls on cable providers to drop Fox News from their cable channels. First of all, I would imagine that there are contractual relationships between Fox News and the cable companies.
Leahy: Right. Which they come up periodically for renewal.
Carmichael: Yes, but I would imagine that dropping them might create some problems. But I don’t want to go there. I mean that would be like a professional sports team saying that the first-team all-pro quarterback for the other team can’t play in a particular game.
Leahy: Because he’s a bad person.
Carmichael: For whatever reason, they just disagree with him and think his play-calling is just inappropriate for the game. And then a former Facebook executive. So these aren’t small people. These aren’t no-name people. A former Facebook executive was more straightforward on CNN. We have to turn down the capability of these conservative influencers to reach these huge audiences. And so what they want to do is make it impossible for the opposition to essentially turn the United States government into a version of the Communist Party of China.
Leahy: Exactly. And by the way, the keyword there and these guys on the left Crom they use language very specifically. And there are themes that come back. The operative word in that quote was ‘reach.’ We had a guest on here Dan Gainor from the Media Research Center at 5:30 am and he said the word of the day coming down from all the folks on the left is this. Freedom of speech does not mean freedom of reach.
Carmichael: Okay, interesting.
Leahy: That’s why that guy said you’re going to hear this word, reach. Reach. You are going to hear it repeatedly.
Carmichael: And here’s the thing about The Wall Street Journal that and some of these other outlets just absolutely frosts me.
Leahy: Hold it. Hold it. The Wall Street Journal frosts you?
Carmichael: Their editorial page is mostly good. Their news section is mostly bad when it comes to their political section.
Leahy: I agree with that. I stand corrected. That’s exactly right.
Carmichael: Yeah, their business section is straight business. Economics is unless they get into a political area then they’re not very good on their political area. But this is in the opinion section. Here’s the last paragraph. The problems of polarization lies and political violence are real on both sides. Now, that’s where The Wall Street Journal loses me.
Because I’d like to have examples where it is where the so-called right did something that was exclusive to the right and they have the evidence that that’s all it was because I don’t believe it. Do I believe that there were some Trump supporters that there were in the Capitol? Yes. Do I believe that there were some Antifa and Black Lives Matter instigators who helped fan the fires? Absolutely yes. But to compare that one instance and even to make that a huge incident compared to all of the other things that happened this summer and say that they are equally bad, that’s where we get into trouble.
Leahy: Let me just add, I don’t disagree with you at all however, Crom what you’ve just described as being not an honest description of the comparing the two sides is not what we’re seeing at all.
Carmichael: I know that. I’m saying that here. The Wall Street Journal has a whole article that is attacking the left for trying to literally shut down the ability of frankly, of your show to reach its audience. The whole article is about that. And it’s not just one person. It’s across their whole spectrum. And then in the very last paragraph, it provides equal responsibility, which essentially gives credence to the entire argument.
Leahy: A very fine point. And I agree with it completely.
Carmichael: Now this is in The Wall Street Journal‘s political section. They ran a very long article almost seven printed pages. When you do the printing that’s a long article, most are two, but a short article where they are identifying the people who funded Trump’s rally. Trump’s rally. And they’re trying to tie the rally itself into breaking into the Capitol. And I want to talk a little bit more about that.
Leahy: That is a very good point.
The Tennessee Star Sr. Reporter Laura Baigert Gives First Hand Account of Trump Rally Held Wednesday Afternoon in Washington
Live from Music Row Thursday morning on The Tennessee Star Report with Michael Patrick Leahy – broadcast on Nashville’s Talk Radio 98.3 and 1510 WLAC weekdays from 5:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. – host Leahy welcomed Tennessee Star Senior Reporter Laura Baigert to the newsmakers line to describe what she experienced on the ground at Wednesday’s Trump rally in Washington.
Leahy: We’re joined now on the line by Laura Baigert of the Tennessee Star who stayed in D.C. Welcome to the Tennessee Star Report. Tell us your experience at the rally and subsequently. Good morning Laura.
Baigert: Good morning, Michael. Good morning, Carol. It’s good to hear your voices.
Swain: Good morning.
Leahy: So tell us about the rally and what you saw during the rally and after.
Baigert: We left our hotel, about a little after 7:00 a.m., and took the subway up to the Ellipse Park area. The park itself was closed off and you have to go through secret service, but we stood in a large field like outside of that fenced-in area where there was a monitor there. When we first got there there were people but within a very short period of time this field and everywhere around that we could see, no one could move. We were just stuck there like a Times Square type of New Year’s Eve event. It’s hard to describe.
Those of you who have been to these kinds of rallies know. But if you haven’t been to one, there is love and camaraderie. Everybody had signs and flags. And it was just great. And then, you know people were cheering and chanting USA. Then the speakers came out. Very calm, peaceful, and very very cold. We stood there for more than an hour waiting for the President to come out.
Leahy: He gave a speech and what was your reaction to that speech?
Baigert: Honestly, I think people thought it went a little too long and we were freezing. And we were probably hoping for a little bit more action and that we’ve done the talking and so forth. But we were hoping for something more definitive. But course, you know, we love our President. And so everybody was enthralled to have him out there. And he spoke for more than an hour. So that was a pretty impressive thing for him to come out like that and to spend that much time there. And then he said let’s walk together down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol.
Leahy: CNN is reporting that he incited violence. Did you hear him incite any violence?
Baigert: No. Not even close to anything like that. He never said anything that was like that or that would even imply something like that unless you were trying to read into something. Not even that. I don’t know how anybody could say something like that.
Swain: Laura, I noticed that he actually said we were going to walk peacefully to the Capitol.
Baigert: Peacefully. And walk together. It was a walk. It wasn’t like we were going to storm down there. He didn’t say anything like that.
Leahy: So how long did it take you to walk from the the mall down to the Capitol? And what did you see? And when did you first learn that the Capitol had been breached?
Baigert: Okay, so it probably took more than half an hour. We walked down Constitution Avenue because we were kind of in the middle of the field. So when you came out of the field you landed right on Constitution Avenue. And as we crossed all of the cross streets we could see as many people walking on Pennsylvania Avenue and then on the other parallel street in the other direction.
We were probably 20 people wide walking and it probably took more than a half an hour to get from the park to the Capitol. And I can walk really fast. I walk five to six miles a day. So but you could not move because there were so many people. And people were chanting USA. And you know, just again everybody being very kind to each other and no problems along the way. I will say there were people who a couple of times chanted the F expletive Antifa.
Then we got over to the Capitol and there were so many people that were outside the circle around it that you didn’t really even know what was going on. By the time we got there, there were people on the steps of the Capitol. But nobody really thought anything of it. And then after we got closer into that inner circle and we could see that there was some smoke on the balcony and we couldn’t really tell what was happening.
A metro police officer told us, said I would advise you not to go there, over there. And he said there’s trouble And I said, well, what do you mean by trouble? He said, well citizens. And I said but what kind of citizens what do you mean? And he wouldn’t elaborate on anything. So we walked over just to see more of what was happening and we could see smoke bombs going off and tear gas. The fire extinguishers were being sprayed, but I think that was by protesters.
Part of the reason it looked so strange was that they were setting up for the inauguration. And that’s why the fencing was up because they’re putting all the stuff out there for that. So there were people calling with a bullhorn saying move forward or else they’re going to push us out of here and come up onto the bleachers.
I mean, this is somebody with a bullhorn and the only person you could hear and that’s all they were saying was move forward, move forward. Nobody was telling anybody to go into the building or breach the building. And I would have to say that anybody who was over there was already there and got into the building was already there and had that planned much earlier. Because you could not have walked from where we were to get over there in that amount of time.
Leahy: So the people in the front, were they Trump supporters? There have been some reports that they were Antifa wearing Trump gear. Do you have any indication one way or the other as to who the people at the Capitol were?
Baigert: All I’ve seen is what’s been on social media. So you know, I don’t put any faith or stock in that. There was someone reporting from The Blaze last night. There were many people on the ground from Blaze TV that were interviewing people on that. They were Trump supporters. But the thing that you need to understand is that we have people with us who were here in 2010 during the Tea Party and Glenn Beck’s rallies and there were like a million people here.
And they said there was every bit as many people there and maybe more yesterday. How many people went into the building? 20 or 30? This is not the typical Trump supporter. None of us would sanction this. I think it’s just starting to be resonating with us this morning, as we think about it, is that this is the people’s House. As soon as we start going down the path of we have no right to be there to see our elected officials doing the people’s work we have born into the wrong argument here.
And this is much different than what happened over the summer where private property was destroyed. Somebody was killed yesterday. Did we riot? Burn anything down? Or damage anything because she was killed? That’s one of us. And another really disturbing thing is the Democrats and many of the Republicans went and sanctioned and endorsed this kind of behavior with breaching the Capitol when Kavanaugh was being sworn in.
Leahy: That’s a very very good point. Laura Baigert, thanks so much. And be safe coming back here to Nashville. We really appreciate your report.

A Woman and Her Dream
On July 13, 2022 July 13, 2022 By Miss JudyIn Life and Living2 Comments
I am sure you have heard the saying, “The difference between a man and a boy is the price of his toys.“
Women and Girls like toys too!
A few months ago, husband Dave told me that it was time for me to get my own car. It had been a year since I turned in my car and we became a 1-car family. It worked except for the times we wanted to go in separate directions.
It was April. I had just celebrated a birthday; I wasn’t getting any younger. And, to be honest, my life is/was quite boing. I had owned a Camaro BD (Before Dave), but had never owned a convertible. It was now or never.
Miss Judy’s Toy
I saw this online; it was through a local, established dealership; off I went. They told me it had just come in and was in their shop; I couldn’t see it, they would have it ready Monday. I went back Monday and made a great deal. It never made it to their lot.
It is definitely a “toy.” My life is not quite so boring now that I have this for fun!
Do you have any “toys”? If so, What? If you could have whatever you want, what would it be?

Share a Coke Campaign: 5 Valuable Marketing Lessons
Add commentApril 15, 202012 min read
In 2011, The Coca Cola Company launched in Australia what came to be one of their most successful campaigns ever. Actually, it was so successful that the company managed to grow sales for the first time in 10 years! Today, we will take a look at the famous Share a Coke campaign from a Marketing perspective, and we will see the 5 valuable lessons that can be learned from it.
What was the Share a Coke campaign?
The Share a Coke campaign was a groundbreaking Marketing success. For the first time in more than a decade, the brand managed to raise sales with more than 2.5%. Furthermore, the consumption of the popular drink increased by 7% in less than a year after release.
It all started in Australia in the summer of 2011, as Coca Cola wanted to create a campaign to increase sales and encourage brand engagement. The results were so good, that it was subsequently rolled out in 80 countries.
The campaign re-positions the traditional Coca-Cola logo, substituting it by the slogan “Share a Coke”, followed by a person’s name. To better reach its target audience, Coca-Cola released coke cans and bottles with the 250 most popular names of each country, and printed them out on the labels.
Needless to say, the campaign was on fire, and people became absolutely obsessed with it. But what exactly made it so successful? Let’s take a look behind the scenes of the Share a Coke campaign, and learn from the Marketing lessons that Coca-Cola gave us:
1. Make your products customizable
In today’s world, saturated with information and infinite experiences, customers are being very selective when it comes to dedicating their full attention to anything. Especially if it makes them feel a part of a massive crowd.
So, the first lesson that the Share a Coke campaign can teach us is that companies can establish a connection with their customers by offering personalized products and services.
Psychologically, people respond better to a product when they feel that it was designed for them and their particular needs in mind.
And of course, there is nothing wrong with that. However, if a brand doesn’t find an effective and personalized way to communicate with them, they will go to the one that does.
What Coca-Cola did
Personalizing a product by branding it with the customer’s name is the most simple and effective way to stand out and get noticed. By printing the 250 most popular names in every country, Coca-Cola made sure that the majority of the population is covered.
And, interestingly enough, the ones who didn’t find their name still felt special because their name was rare. Okay, I am sure this outcome wasn’t a part of Coca-Cola’s plan, but it’s still a consolation for those who didn’t find their name!
Curiously enough, the Share a Coke campaign didn’t end there. After the enormous success, Coca-Cola evolved it by launching a variety of other initiatives, such as:
Encouraging customers to share a virtual coke with family and friends, with their name on the label;
They could also print their names of choice on personalized cans from special vending machines;
Coca Cola even created an app in which people could allocate a store that has a can with their name on it;
What we can learn from it
Whatever your business is, find a way to get personal with your clients. It does not have to be printing their name on the product. There are other ways as well.
For example, for companies selling digital products or services, it can be as simple as creating a brief questionnarie that the customer can answer when signing up. And then, you can offer a personalized plan tailored to his particular needs and goals.
For physical products, it can be offering tools and ways for customers to adjust the product as they like. For example, the Canadian company dbrand.com offers users the possibility to personalize their laptop and smartphone skins.
They can even see how their laptop will look like with the skin on:
The end goal is to show customers that you offer exactly the product that their need.
2. Leverage the power of social media
Whether you love it or hate it, social media is an extremely powerful tool reach your target audience. And this isn’t going to change any time soon. There is no point in crafting an awesome, personalized product, if nobody is going to know about its existence.
And yes, of course, there are other channels to reach your target. However, considering the fact that only Facebook alone has 2.5 billion active members, we just can’t ignore the fact that the chances to find your audience on at least one social channel are very high.
But that’s not all! When you craft an awesome, personalized product that people just love, they are going to take it even further than you ever would. In fact, they will spread the word around for free, and absolutely voluntarily.
What Coca Cola did
The company created the hashtag #shareacoke, which people could easily use for all sorts of creative posts around the Internet. For example, I just checked it on Twitter, and I found that people are still using it even years after the campaign stopped running.
Which is absolutely amazing and show how impactful the Share a coke campaign was. For example, in the current times of quarantine and social distancing due to the coronavirus crisis, people are humouristically “rebranding” the campaign to “don’t share a coke”:
While still sharing and “promoting” the brand as a side effect!
When you are creating viral content by getting personal with your audience, you will find out that they help you communicate it even better than yourself.
After all, which source is more trustworthy? A brand tweeting about their new products, or your best friend recommending you this awesome coke can with your name? In today’s digital world where sharing your favorite post is faster than brushing your teeth, giving people something viral to talk about is the dream of every company.
In fact, even the algorithms behind social media channels help with that.
Company pages on LinkedIn and Facebook have been consistently dropping in impressions over the last few years. Today, a post from a Company Page on Facebook will barely reach 10% of its own followers. There are two reasons why: first, so companies can spend on advertising.
And second, to give priority to user-generated content. In other words, users sharing your content will typically have more impact than if you share the content yourself using your Company page!
So, next time when you are designing your Marketing campaign, don’t hesitate to use the power of social media! Make something simple and fun that people can resonate with it, and give them the right tools to easily share it on their preferred channels.
The Share a Coke campaign taught us that a Marketing initiative doesn’t have to be unnecessarily complex. Sometimes, we sabotage ourselves trying to think of a super unique, out of the box idea that just overcomplicates everything both for us and the users.
Simplicity seems to be the key to success.
Nowadays, we are so saturated with information, that we have developed the attention spam of a goldfish. If you launch a Marketing campaign that nobody understands, you are only setting yourself up for failure.
Have a clear mission and purpose that people don’t have to research in order to understand what it is about. The minute they have to make any effort into researching because they didn’t get the point, you have already lost their attention.
For example, the mission behind the Share a Coke campaign was simply…to get people to share a coke. Yes, as simple as that! In fact, it couldn’t been more literal, from the name of the campaign to its purpose.
4. Create experiences
When Coca Cola launched their campaign, they did something more than just selling a product. They created an experience which was worth sharing, both on social media and in real life. People would buy cans not only with their own name on it, but with the names of their loved ones.
And then, they would make cute surprises like bringing the can home to their spouses. Or making a collection in the glass showcase in their living room, with the names of the whole family.
In the 21st century, Marketing has evolved from selling products to creating experiences. Nowadays, people don’t want to just go to a coffee shop, buy coffee, and leave. I mean, of course there are people who prefer that, but many of them want more than that.
For example, think of Starbucks – one of the biggest reasons why they became so successful wasn’t the coffee. It was the cozy, inviting atmosphere of their shops in which people could come and stay with friends, take photos for their social media channels, and so on.
And of course, it was the drink with their name (!) on it, which people absolutely love to share on Facebook and Instagram.
The point is, Starbucks managed to create an experience that people would enjoy being a part of. The same way that the Share a Coke campaign made people feel something, and be eager to share it with their family and friends. It was an experience that helped people connect and re-connect with each other.
5. Know your target market
Another Marketing lesson that Coca Cola taught us was to know our target market. The company researched not only what would make people excited, but also got very, very specific with the execution of their strategy.
Coca Cola did a profound research for each one of the 80 countries in which the initiative was launched. And came up with a list of the 250 most popular names in that country. Which was definitely a great move because obviously, they can differ quite a lot from location to location.
For the first launch in Australia, Coca Cola started with 150 names, calculating that it would reach 42% of the entire Australian population. Talk about efficiency!
But of course, it was not only that. The Share a Coke campaign was also designed with the idea to resonate with teens and millenials, which are a huge part of the company’s target audience. And of course, they are the ones who are most likely to share on social media, and make the initiative go viral.
The biggest takeaway from this lesson is to know your target audience very, very well. And of course, to adjust your campaign in a way that will be able to directly communicate with this audience. After all, it serves no purpose to have a great product if you don’t know your users, and they don’t resonate with your campaign.
For this reason, you must know exactly who to reach, and how to reach them. Conduct primary and secondary research to refine your audience as much as possible. Use Google Analytics to track the right metrics and understand your current web visitors, so you can get key insights on who they are and what they want.
And these were the 5 lessons that we can learn from the Share a Coke campaign, one of the most successful international campaigns ever. I think that they are quite valuable as they give us some insights and ideas on what are the key concepts to understand and apply in order to make an initiative go viral.
And of course, what are the steps to undertake to get to know our audience, and target them in a way they can resonate with.
Of course, when designing your Marketing campaign, set up realistic goals and expectations, and work towards spiking up an emotion in your audience. After all, if your product isn’t making them feel anything, it’s probably not going to be very successful in the long run.
And that was all from me, folks! hope you enjoyed my article on the viral Share a Coke Campaign, and I hope to see you in the next one!

Massive Trove of Battery and Molecule Data Released to Public
Home > Uncategorized > Massive Trove of Battery and Molecule Data Released to Public
The Materials Project, a Google-like database of material properties aimed at accelerating innovation, has released an enormous trove of data to the public, giving scientists working on fuel cells, photovoltaics, thermoelectrics, and a host of other advanced materials a powerful tool to explore new research avenues. But it has become a particularly important resource for researchers working on batteries.
Co-founded and directed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) scientist Kristin Persson, the Materials Project uses supercomputers to calculate the properties of materials based on first-principles quantum-mechanical frameworks. It was launched in 2011 by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3955 | {"url": "https://mobility21.cmu.edu/massive-trove-of-battery-and-molecule-data-released-to-public/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "mobility21.cmu.edu", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:19:35Z", "digest": "sha1:VTGDPR6E43NRSALPIKSZE6EKP5HIKTJB"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 885, 885.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 885, 2238.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 885, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 885, 71.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 885, 0.92]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 885, 164.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 885, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 885, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 885, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 885, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 885, 0.29677419]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 885, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 885, 0.14130435]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 885, 0.14130435]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 885, 0.14130435]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 885, 0.14130435]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 885, 0.14130435]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 885, 0.14130435]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 885, 0.02853261]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 885, 0.03804348]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 885, 0.05706522]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 885, 0.01935484]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 885, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 885, 0.16129032]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 885, 0.648]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 885, 5.888]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 885, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 885, 4.19065316]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 885, 125.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 62, 0.0], [62, 147, 0.0], [147, 555, 1.0], [555, 885, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 62, 0.0], [62, 147, 0.0], [147, 555, 0.0], [555, 885, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 62, 10.0], [62, 147, 12.0], [147, 555, 59.0], [555, 885, 44.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 62, 0.0], [62, 147, 0.0], [147, 555, 0.0], [555, 885, 0.01257862]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 62, 0.0], [62, 147, 0.0], [147, 555, 0.0], [555, 885, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 62, 0.11290323], [62, 147, 0.10588235], [147, 555, 0.0122549], [555, 885, 0.06363636]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 885, 0.00505894]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 885, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 885, 0.26878136]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 885, -62.58296259]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 885, 3.6407914]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 885, 10.53207028]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 885, 6.0]]} |

2,711 Days of Talmud
by Rebecca Borison This evening, Jews around the world will gather to celebrate finishing all of the tractates of the Talmud. Over seven years, participants have studied a page of Talmud every day, either by themselves or in group lessons, for 2,711 days. And while the majority of these Jews are male, there is a strong number of women who participate. Up until the 20th century, you would have been hard-pressed to find a woman learning Talmud. Dating back to the Talmud itself, it was thought to be licentious to teach a woman Torah, let alone Talmud. Today, however, most rabbis encourage women to learn Jewish texts. One woman who decided to brave the traditionally male waters is Ora Tenenhaus. Raised in a secular home in Israel, Ora travelled a unique path to this year’s siyum (finishing... | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3956 | {"url": "https://momentmag.com/tag/siyum/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "momentmag.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T10:41:46Z", "digest": "sha1:X73FAUIUHZUSLELTXMNVTIS35DRRQQYO"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 864, 864.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 864, 2748.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 864, 4.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 864, 110.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 864, 0.94]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 864, 337.3]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 864, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 864, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 864, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 864, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 864, 0.36312849]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 864, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 864, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 864, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 864, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 864, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 864, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 864, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 864, 0.02322206]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 864, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 864, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 864, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 864, 0.25]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 864, 0.17877095]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 864, 0.68918919]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 864, 4.65540541]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 864, 0.00558659]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 864, 4.39918276]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 864, 148.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 28, 0.0], [28, 44, 0.0], [44, 65, 0.0], [65, 864, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 28, 0.0], [28, 44, 0.0], [44, 65, 0.0], [65, 864, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 28, 5.0], [28, 44, 2.0], [44, 65, 4.0], [65, 864, 137.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 28, 0.0], [28, 44, 0.0], [44, 65, 0.21052632], [65, 864, 0.00774194]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 28, 0.0], [28, 44, 0.0], [44, 65, 0.0], [65, 864, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 28, 0.10714286], [28, 44, 0.125], [44, 65, 0.0952381], [65, 864, 0.02878598]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 864, 0.00366735]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 864, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 864, 0.00282627]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 864, -20.48255264]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 864, 9.94489189]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 864, -12.50173926]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 864, 8.0]]} |
Hamilton equals Schumacher’s record for most F1 titles
By Motomads Team / November 17, 2020 November 17, 2020
Lewis Hamilton scored a hard-earned victory at the Turkish GP to seal his seventh F1 world title and equal Michael Schumacher’s record. Hamilton also surpassed Schumacher’s record for the most wins in F1.
“We dreamed of this when we were young and when I was young, when we were watching the Grands Prix, and this is way, way beyond our dreams. I think it’s so important for kids out there to hopefully see this and know don’t listen to anyway who says you can’t achieve something. Dream the impossible and speak it into insistence. You have to work for it, you have to chase it and never give up, and never doubt yourself,” said an emotional Hamilton after the race.
F1 will now kick off its Middle Eastern triple header, with the first of two races at Bahrain scheduled for November 26-29. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3957 | {"url": "https://motomads.in/hamilton-equals-schumachers-record-for-most-f1-titles/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "motomads.in", "date_download": "2023-03-20T08:41:40Z", "digest": "sha1:2PLUJ2CQMDT2I63VC24MAA6BPSIPOVVX"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 901, 901.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 901, 1444.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 901, 5.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 901, 22.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 901, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 901, 265.5]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 901, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 901, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 901, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 901, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 901, 0.46632124]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 901, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 901, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 901, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 901, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 901, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 901, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 901, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 901, 0.0746888]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 901, 0.05809129]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 901, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 901, 0.03626943]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 901, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 901, 0.16580311]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 901, 0.67924528]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 901, 4.54716981]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 901, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 901, 4.49492274]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 901, 159.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 55, 0.0], [55, 110, 0.0], [110, 315, 1.0], [315, 778, 1.0], [778, 901, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 55, 0.0], [55, 110, 0.0], [110, 315, 0.0], [315, 778, 0.0], [778, 901, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 55, 8.0], [55, 110, 9.0], [110, 315, 33.0], [315, 778, 87.0], [778, 901, 22.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 55, 0.01851852], [55, 110, 0.24], [110, 315, 0.00995025], [315, 778, 0.0], [778, 901, 0.04166667]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 55, 0.0], [55, 110, 0.0], [110, 315, 0.0], [315, 778, 0.0], [778, 901, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 55, 0.05454545], [55, 110, 0.09090909], [110, 315, 0.05365854], [315, 778, 0.01727862], [778, 901, 0.04065041]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 901, 0.06034452]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 901, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 901, 0.98317081]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 901, -42.84593926]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 901, 23.72172526]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 901, -83.42550401]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 901, 7.0]]} |
VIDEO: Perez charges from sixteenth to sixth in Austria
By Luke SmithJun 22, 2014, 12:15 PM EDT
Sergio Perez will be coming away from the Austrian Grand Prix with a smile on his face after finishing sixth at the Red Bull Ring.
The Force India driver was forced to start from 16th place on the grid, having qualified 11th and then been hit with a five-place grid penalty for causing a crash with Felipe Massa at the Canadian Grand Prix.
Just as it did in Canada, the team elected to start Perez on the prime tire, allowing him to go longer into the race before stopping. As a result, he led for ten laps ahead of eventual winner Nico Rosberg, who only found a way past when the Mexican’s tires began to drop off in pace.
Perez twice entered battle with Massa, who had warned that he would think three times before even attempting to pass the Force India following the incident in Montreal. However, both drivers kept the racing clean, with Massa eventually finishing fourth for Williams.
On the super-soft tire, Perez was the quickest man on the circuit in the final stages of the grand prix, and posted the fastest lap of the race. He battled past the McLaren duo of Jenson Button and Kevin Magnussen during his final stint, thus securing himself a strong sixth place finish.

Mission: Impossible – Fallout (2018) – Movie Review
Posted by Movie Pub on August 4, 2018 August 4, 2018
Mission: Impossible – Fallout is an action spy thriller film co-written and directed by Christopher McQuarrie. It is the sixth installment in the Mission: Impossible film series, and the second film to be directed by McQuarrie, after Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (2015). It’s been 22 years when the first Mission: Impossible came out in 1996, and still today Tom Cruise is shining in his role of Ethan Hunt.
The film follows two years after the events of its fifth installment, where Solomon Lane (Sean Harris) has been captured, and the remains of his organization The Syndicate have reformed into a terrorist group known as The Apostles. After Ethan’s (Tom Cruise) mission to fetch plutonium went wrong and the plutonium is taken by the Apostles, he must race against time to get those back before the nukes go off. In this mission, Ethan is accompanied by his former allies cum IMF agents Benji Dunn (Simon Pegg) and Luther Stickell (Ving Rhames). The film also stars Henry Cavill with his legendary mustache as August Walker, a CIA assassin working for the Special Activities Division tasked with monitoring Ethan and his team.
The film is a full package of high-octane action sequences, chase sequences, and breathtaking stunts. Apart from its action, the film’s direction and the story is very crisp and to the point. The story never loses its pace, and chunks of exciting and thrilling moments keep on happening which keeps the audience engaged. The film is shot really well, especially the action and the stunt scenes, with a slightly shaky but impressive effect to make it feel real. Acting wise, the film is fair enough, and especially the comedy moments blends really well with film’s thrilling tone. Many critics hailed it as the best installment in the series, with some considering it one of the greatest action films of all-time.
Verdict : A fully action-packed film and totally worth a watch.

Three Ways To Boss Your Backlinking Strategy
By Matt Sweetwood on March 31, 2020 • ( Leave a comment )
Backlinks, otherwise known as external or inbound links, are the backbone of search engine optimisation (SEO).
The reasons for this are ten-fold, and most of them revolve around Google’s listing preferences. Most notably, studies have shown that decent backlinks can help you to overcome so-called Google bias, as well as climbing up those search rankings thanks to third-party recommendations, etc. Get this right, and the rest of your SEO strategy should soon follow.
The trouble is that, whether you’re running a new website or simply turning your attention to backlinks for the first time, getting started here can be easier said than done. You may find even that you don’t have the authority necessary to make this method work straight away.
That doesn’t mean you can’t still find success here, but it is a sign that you need to think about how to boss your backlink strategy moving forward. Luckily, we’ve got some pointers to help you do just that.
Get into the habit of guest posting
Guest posting is a fantastic idea for a variety of reasons, not least because it provides some of the most valuable backlinking opportunities out there. The real benefit to this is that you have complete control over the context and platform for those backlinks. Even better, you’re giving something back to the blogger in question, making it far more likely that they’ll consider you for backlinking opportunities moving forward. In short; you can’t go far wrong with a method like this.
Create linkable assets
The content you create on your site also matters for boosting your chances of success with backlinks, but in a different way. While guest posts are about earning yourself a regular spot, your own content should focus around linkable assets, such as relevant blog posts, infographics galore, and so on. These resources tend to be shareable/linkable to a range of businesses and bloggers, especially if they’re well researched. That, in turn, makes it much more likely that you’ll be able to build a reliable backlink strategy.
Don’t be afraid to reach out
Lastly, it’s vital to note that you shouldn’t be afraid of reaching out to pitch your site as a backlinking option to relevant websites. At this stage, your web presence is likely small, and you don’t necessarily have what you need to recommend you in the eyes of Google or anyone else. With that in mind, waiting for backlink opportunities to build in organic ways is rarely realistic. Instead, seek relevant sources and send well-written pitch emails on the subject. While you may need to send a lot of these to see any real returns, you should eventually notice that your efforts lead to initial backlinking success, which can then build from its own momentum.
Building a budding backlink campaign isn’t easy, but it is your best chance at SEO results you can rely on. So, make sure that you aren’t neglecting this crucial aspect of your online efforts, no matter how young your website might be.

Yakima triple murder suspect found dead after disturbing phone call
The suspect in the random killing of three people at a Washington convenience store was found hours later after a woman called 911 to say she was worried about the stranger who had borrowed her phone in a Target parking lot.
As police closed in, 21-year-old Jarid Haddock fatally shot himself behind the store.
Officers had surrounded the Yakima, Wash., home of Haddock’s parents after his mother reported suspicions the young man had been involved in the shootings around 3:30 a.m. Tuesday at a Circle K store nearby.
Around 2 p.m., a 911 operator took a call from a woman who said she was outside the Yakima Target store, about 3 miles from the home. She said she had lent her phone to a man and was alarmed by the conversation she overheard — including the statement “I killed those people” and a suicide threat.
It was later determined he had been speaking to his mother.
Officers arrived to find Haddock with a fatal gunshot wound, Yakima Police Chief Matt Murray said at a press conference.
Murray said investigators had no idea what prompted the shootings at the Circle K. “There was no apparent conflict between the parties,” he said, citing witness statements as well as surveillance video. “The male just walked in and started shooting.”
Two customers were killed in the store, a 40-year-old woman and a 65-year-old man. The third, a 54-year-old man, was shot in his SUV in the parking lot.
The shooter then walked across the street to an Arco gas station, shot out a window of another car, and drove away in it.
The Circle K clerk, who had been in the back of the store, reported the shootings.
Around 7 a.m., a woman called 911 and said her son’s car was in her driveway with its window shot out and she thought he might be involved in the killings.
She had last heard from him, she said, when he sent a text at 3:15 a.m. saying he had locked himself out of his car at the Arco gas station off Interstate 82, about 2 miles from her home.
Surveillance video showed that, before going to the Circle K, the gunman had tried to enter the AM/PM store at the Arco but found the door was locked. A clerk at the Arco told the Yakima Herald the store was previously open 24 hours a day but the owner had started closing it between 2 and 4 a.m. because of an armed incident at another Arco in Yakima.
A SWAT team spent several hours at the parents’ house, trying to ascertain if someone was inside, before getting the call from the Target.
Haddock’s mother identified her son from the surveillance video from Circle K and said he was a methamphetamine user whose habit had gotten worse in the past month, according to a probable-cause affidavit quoted by the Herald.
His only arrest on record was in March 2020, when he was pulled over in a car that had been stolen when it was left running while parked. He completed a diversion program, despite twice violating its terms by using drugs, and the charges were dismissed in 2021.
Yakima, a city of about 95,000, is in south-central Washington a 140-mile drive from Seattle. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3962 | {"url": "https://mynewzroom.com/yakima-triple-murder-suspect-found-dead-after-disturbing-phone-call/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "mynewzroom.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:38:56Z", "digest": "sha1:722AGIERYOHMXCDGWF4PW5B6ESFOTJ7F"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 3170, 3170.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 3170, 6130.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 3170, 19.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 3170, 123.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 3170, 0.99]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 3170, 262.0]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 3170, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 3170, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 3170, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 3170, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 3170, 0.43343195]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 3170, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 3170, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 3170, 0.04115552]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 3170, 0.04115552]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 3170, 0.04115552]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 3170, 0.04115552]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 3170, 0.04115552]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 3170, 0.01385042]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 3170, 0.01187178]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 3170, 0.01899486]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 3170, 0.01775148]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 3170, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 3170, 0.16272189]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 3170, 0.45759717]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 3170, 4.46466431]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 3170, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 3170, 5.00871139]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 3170, 566.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 78, 0.0], [78, 146, 0.0], [146, 371, 1.0], [371, 457, 1.0], [457, 665, 1.0], [665, 962, 1.0], [962, 1022, 1.0], [1022, 1143, 1.0], [1143, 1394, 1.0], [1394, 1547, 1.0], [1547, 1669, 1.0], [1669, 1752, 1.0], [1752, 1908, 1.0], [1908, 2096, 1.0], [2096, 2449, 1.0], [2449, 2588, 1.0], [2588, 2815, 1.0], [2815, 3077, 1.0], [3077, 3170, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 78, 0.0], [78, 146, 0.0], [146, 371, 0.0], [371, 457, 0.0], [457, 665, 0.0], [665, 962, 0.0], [962, 1022, 0.0], [1022, 1143, 0.0], [1143, 1394, 0.0], [1394, 1547, 0.0], [1547, 1669, 0.0], [1669, 1752, 0.0], [1752, 1908, 0.0], [1908, 2096, 0.0], [2096, 2449, 0.0], [2449, 2588, 0.0], [2588, 2815, 0.0], [2815, 3077, 0.0], [3077, 3170, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 78, 10.0], [78, 146, 10.0], [146, 371, 41.0], [371, 457, 13.0], [457, 665, 34.0], [665, 962, 57.0], [962, 1022, 11.0], [1022, 1143, 20.0], [1143, 1394, 40.0], [1394, 1547, 28.0], [1547, 1669, 24.0], [1669, 1752, 16.0], [1752, 1908, 31.0], [1908, 2096, 39.0], [2096, 2449, 68.0], [2449, 2588, 24.0], [2588, 2815, 37.0], [2815, 3077, 48.0], [3077, 3170, 15.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 78, 0.0], [78, 146, 0.0], [146, 371, 0.01345291], [371, 457, 0.02469136], [457, 665, 0.015], [665, 962, 0.01724138], [962, 1022, 0.0], [1022, 1143, 0.0], [1143, 1394, 0.0], [1394, 1547, 0.04255319], [1547, 1669, 0.0], [1669, 1752, 0.0], [1752, 1908, 0.02649007], [1908, 2096, 0.03333333], [2096, 2449, 0.0115942], [2449, 2588, 0.0], [2588, 2815, 0.0], [2815, 3077, 0.03125], [3077, 3170, 0.09195402]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 78, 0.0], [78, 146, 0.0], [146, 371, 0.0], [371, 457, 0.0], [457, 665, 0.0], [665, 962, 0.0], [962, 1022, 0.0], [1022, 1143, 0.0], [1143, 1394, 0.0], [1394, 1547, 0.0], [1547, 1669, 0.0], [1669, 1752, 0.0], [1752, 1908, 0.0], [1908, 2096, 0.0], [2096, 2449, 0.0], [2449, 2588, 0.0], [2588, 2815, 0.0], [2815, 3077, 0.0], [3077, 3170, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 78, 0.03846154], [78, 146, 0.01470588], [146, 371, 0.01333333], [371, 457, 0.03488372], [457, 665, 0.03365385], [665, 962, 0.01683502], [962, 1022, 0.01666667], [1022, 1143, 0.05785124], [1143, 1394, 0.01992032], [1394, 1547, 0.03267974], [1547, 1669, 0.01639344], [1669, 1752, 0.03614458], [1752, 1908, 0.00641026], [1908, 2096, 0.01595745], [2096, 2449, 0.03966006], [2449, 2588, 0.04316547], [2588, 2815, 0.01762115], [2815, 3077, 0.01145038], [3077, 3170, 0.03225806]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 3170, 0.97452676]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 3170, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 3170, 0.96875757]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 3170, 25.98225942]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 3170, 120.83117319]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 3170, 14.64323454]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 3170, 34.0]]} |

Addition to overcrowded Taft ruled out; freshman campus planned but approval 18 months away
by [email protected] · February 8, 2017
by BRIAN NADIG
Building an addition to the overcrowded Taft High School is not being considered given that land has been set aside for a new high school facility at Irving Park Road and Oak Park Avenue, according to a school system official.
“There’s no desire to put the number of students in this building into a bigger building,” Chicago Public Schools’ director of school demographics and planning Jimm Dispensa said at the Feb. 7 meeting of the Taft High School Local School Council.
Dispensa’s comment was in response to concerns that Taft’s student body would be split between two campuses under a plan to build a freshman academy on former state land in the Read-Dunning development area. Some parents have raised concerns that it would be better to contain the school on one campus, either by building an addition or reducing Taft’s attendance area.
The proposal calls for the new campus to accommodate Taft’s freshmen and Seventh and Eighth Grade Academic Center students, with a projected total enrollment of 1,200, and the existing campus at 6530 W. Bryn Mawr Ave. would house sophomore, juniors and seniors, with a projected enrollment of about 2,700.
Taft’s current enrollment is 3,297, compared to 1,500 about 15 years ago.
Alderman Nicholas Sposato (38th) said that changing attendance boundaries would be difficult because it would involve choosing which communities to remove from Taft’s feeder school list. He said that he previously asked council members to suggest which schools should be removed and that he did not get any recommendations.
On the flipside, the school system is looking to expand Taft’s attendance boundaries due to the additional space which the freshman campus would bring to the school.
Plans call for Bridge, Dever and Canty to be added to Taft’s feeder list. Also, part of Smyser School’s attendance area currently feeds into Steinmetz High School, but all of the school would feed into Taft under the plan.
Sposato has requested that students from those four elementary schools also be given the option of attending Steinmetz, which serves most of the Dunning area.
LSC community member Goran Davidovac said that he would like assurances that increasing Taft’s attendance boundaries would not generate a new overcrowding problem in a few years given Taft’s rising popularity among area families. “Can we be assured that we won’t be back to square one in 2022, 2023?” he asked.
Dispensa said that Taft would need to stop enrolling students from outside its attendance boundaries in order to have “a high level of confidence” in the data showing the freshman academy plan would work.
Currently Taft offers three programs which accepts students from outside its attendance area, including about 150 of its 250 academic center students. In addition, about half of its 398 International Baccalaureate Diploma Program students and half of its 287 U.S. Naval Junior ROTC Program students are from outside the area.
Last fall about 50 graduates from Bridge, Dever and Canty were admitted to Taft through the IB and ROTC programs.
Taft principal Mark Grishaber said that it is important that the school maintain the flexibility of enrolling outside students in those programs and that the freshman campus plan would give the school adequate space. “There’s room for the kids,” he said.
Restricting the academic center, which is a gifted program, to local students would hurt Taft’s feeder schools, Grishaber said. “I don’t want to brain drain the elementary schools around here,” he said.
When the academic center opened in the late 1990s, initially there was a limit on the number of students admitted from Taft’s feeder schools due to concerns expressed by the area principals that they would be losing their best seventh- and eighth-graders to Taft.
In the mid-2000s, the ROTC program consisted almost exclusively of non-attendance area students, but that changed in recent years as a significantly higher number of local students are applying for the program, Grishaber said.
Meanwhile, several parents at the LSC meeting advocated for a new four-year high school for the Dunning community instead of a second Taft campus. Others called for the school system to invest more resources into Steinmetz, which is operating below its capacity.
Dispensa said that the freshman campus plan is “a set of ideas” and that approval of a formal plan for the Irving Park-Oak Park site is about 18 months away. He said that construction will start before then but that the building will be designed to accommodate a freshman academy or a four-year high school.
Dispensa plans to attend LSC meetings at schools throughout the Northwest Side to gather more input on the planned facility. He said that the Chicago Board of Education will use “the freshest data” when it decides on the enrollment and curriculum makeup of the new facility.
Dispensa said that he is trying to figure out the appropriate forum to share “30 hours” of enrollment data which show the reasoning behind the freshman campus plan. He said that the data also will ease concerns that the plan would have a negative impact on Steinmetz.
Grishaber said that the freshman campus would allow the school to expand its staff and programming for students while alternative plans would force cutbacks. He said the new campus would include an athletic facility that can be used for practices and homes games.
“Friday night lights at Taft,” Grishaber said.

Our Kshatriya Samskaras - II - Final Rites
After the death of a loved one, Hindu families who have settled in foreign lands often have two very simple questions:
Which ceremonies do we have to do?
What will happen if we do not do them?
Then there is another common as well as a justifiable question:
What is the right thing to do?
This free book attempts to answer those questions and provide explanations and methods for the rites and rituals. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3965 | {"url": "https://naha.us/products/our-kshatriya-samskaras-ii-final-rites", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "naha.us", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:45:56Z", "digest": "sha1:DELHWJQK5KTUJDCZW3D5UQJIBL36IY77"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 444, 444.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 444, 1900.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 444, 7.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 444, 85.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 444, 0.96]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 444, 291.9]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 444, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 444, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 444, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 444, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 444, 0.47727273]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 444, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 444, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 444, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 444, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 444, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 444, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 444, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 444, 0.02253521]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 444, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 444, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 444, 0.01136364]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 444, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 444, 0.10227273]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 444, 0.75949367]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 444, 4.49367089]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 444, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 444, 3.97787067]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 444, 79.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 43, 0.0], [43, 162, 0.0], [162, 197, 1.0], [197, 236, 1.0], [236, 300, 0.0], [300, 331, 1.0], [331, 444, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 43, 0.0], [43, 162, 0.0], [162, 197, 0.0], [197, 236, 0.0], [236, 300, 0.0], [300, 331, 0.0], [331, 444, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 43, 6.0], [43, 162, 21.0], [162, 197, 7.0], [197, 236, 9.0], [236, 300, 11.0], [300, 331, 7.0], [331, 444, 18.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 43, 0.0], [43, 162, 0.0], [162, 197, 0.0], [197, 236, 0.0], [236, 300, 0.0], [300, 331, 0.0], [331, 444, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 43, 0.0], [43, 162, 0.0], [162, 197, 0.0], [197, 236, 0.0], [236, 300, 0.0], [300, 331, 0.0], [331, 444, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 43, 0.1627907], [43, 162, 0.01680672], [162, 197, 0.02857143], [197, 236, 0.02564103], [236, 300, 0.015625], [300, 331, 0.03225806], [331, 444, 0.00884956]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 444, 0.0196408]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 444, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 444, 0.00056201]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 444, -5.59446574]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 444, 2.31844174]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 444, -34.08767119]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 444, 4.0]]} |

Media innovation in Sri Lanka: Responding then to tyranny, and now to opportunity
East-West Center 2016 International Media Conference in New Delhi, India, from September 8 to 11, 2016
The Hawaii-based East-West Center held its 2016 International Media Conference in New Delhi, India, from September 8 to 11, 2016. Themed “South Asia Looking East”, it drew over 350 participants from across Asia and the United States.
On September 11, I took part in a breakout session that discussed media innovation in Asia and the United States. While my fellow panelists spoke mainly about digital media innovation of their media outlet or media sector, I opted to survey the bigger picture: what does innovation really mean when media is under siege, and how can the media sector switch from such ‘innovation under duress’ to regular market or product innovation?
Here are my remarks, cleaned up and somewhat expanded:
Nalaka Gunawardene speaks on media innovation under duress
Innovation has been going on in media from the beginning. Faced with major challenges from advancing technologies and changing demography, innovation is now an imperative for market survival.
We can discuss this at different levels: product innovation, process innovation and systemic innovation. I like to add another kind for our discussion: innovation for physical survival.
With forces social and market Darwinism constantly at work, you might ask, shouldn’t the most adaptable and nimble players survive – while others perish?
Yes and No. Sometimes the odds against independent and progressive media organisations are disproportionately high – they should not be left to fend for themselves. This is where media consumers and public spirited groups need to step in.
Let me explain with a couple of examples from South Asia.
They say necessity is the mother of invention or innovation. I would argue that tyranny – from the state and/or extremist groups – provides another strong impetus for innovation in the media.
In Nepal, all media came under strict control when King Gyanendra assumed total control in February 2005. Among other draconian measures, he suspended press freedom, imposing a blanket ban on private or community broadcasters carrying news, thus making it a monopoly of state broadcasters.
The army told broadcasters that the stations were free to carry music, but not news or current affairs. Soldiers were sent to radio and TV stations to ensure compliance.
When the king’s siege of democracy continued for weeks and months, some media started defying censorship – they joined human rights activists and civil society groups in a mass movement for political reforms, including the restoration of parliamentary democracy.
Some of Nepal’s many community radio stations found creative ways of defying censorship. One station started singing the news – after all, there was no state control over music and entertainment! Another one in central Nepal went outside their studio, set up an impromptu news desk on the roadside, and read the news to passers-by every evening at 6 pm.
Panel on Media innovation at East-West Center Media Conference, Delhi, 11 Sep 2016: L to R – Philippa McDonald, Nalaka Gunawardene, LEE Doo Won, Fernando (Jun) SEPE, Jr. and ZHONG Xin
The unwavering resolve of these and other media groups and pro-democracy activists led to the restoration of parliamentary democracy in April 2006 and the subsequent abolition of the Nepali monarchy.
My second example is from Sri Lanka where I live and work.
We are recovering from almost a decade of authoritarian rule that we ended in January 2015 by changing that government in an election. The years preceding that change were the darkest for freedom of expression and media freedom in Sri Lanka – the country, then nominally a democracy, was ranked 165th among 183 countries in the World Press Freedom Index for 2014.
In June 2012, Sri Lanka was one of 16 countries named by the UN Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression for “attacks against journalists during coverage of street protests and demonstrations, such as arbitrary arrests and detention, verbal and physical attacks, confiscation or destruction of equipment, as well as killings.”
Threats of attacks and actual incidents of physical violence in recent years led to a climate of fear and widespread self-censorship among journalists in Sri Lanka. This is slowly changing now, but old habits die hard.
At the height of media repression by the former regime, we saw some of our media innovating simply for physical survival. One strategy was using satire and parody – which became important forms of political commentary, sometimes the only ones that were possible without evoking violent reprisals.
Three years ago, I wrote a column about this phenomenon which I titled ‘When making fun is no laughing matter (Ceylon Today, 5 May 2013).
Full text: https://collidecolumn.wordpress.com/2013/05/05/when-worlds-collide-65-when-making-fun-is-no-laughing-matter/
What I wrote then, while still in the thick of crackdown, is worth recalling:
“For sure, serious journalism can’t be fully outsourced to satirists and stand-up comics. But comedy and political satire can play a key role in critiquing politicians, businessmen and others whose actions impact the public.
“There is another dimension to political satire and caricature that isn’t widely appreciated in liberal democracies where freedom of expression is constitutionally guaranteed.
“In immature democracies and autocracies, critical journalists and their editors take many risks in the line of work. When direct criticism becomes highly hazardous, satire and parody become important — and sometimes the only – ways for journalists get around draconian laws, stifling media regulations or trigger-happy goon squads…
“Little wonder, then, that some of Sri Lanka’s sharpest commentary is found in satire columns and cartoons. Much of what passes for political analysis is actually gossip.”
For years, cartoonists and political satirists fulfilled a deeply felt need in Sri Lanka for the media to check the various concentrations of power — in political, military, corporate and religious domains.
They still continue to perform an important role, but there is more space today for journalists and editors to report things as they are, and to comment on the key stories of the day.
During the past decade, we have also seen the rise of citizen journalism and vibrant blogospheres in the local languages of Sinhala and Tamil. Their advantage during the dark years was that they were too numerous and scattered for the repressive state to go after each one (We do know, however, that electronic surveillance was attempted with Chinese technical assistance.)
Of course, Sri Lanka’s media still face formidable challenges that threaten their market survival.
Rebuilding Public Trust: An Assessment of the Media Industry and Profession in Sri Lanka (May 2016)
A new assessment of Sri Lanka’s media, which I edited earlier this year, noted: “The economic sustainability of media houses and businesses remains a major challenge. The mainstream media as a whole is struggling to retain its consumer base. Several factors have contributed to this. Many media houses have been slow in integrating digital tools and web-based platforms. As a result, there is a growing gulf between media’s production models and their audiences’ consumption patterns.”
Innovation and imagination are essential for our media to break out of 20th century mindsets and evolve new ways of content generation and consumption. There are some promising new initiatives to watch, even as much of the mainstream continues business as usual – albeit with diminishing circulations and shrinking audience shares.
Innovate or perish still applies to our media. We are glad, however, that we no longer have to innovate just to stay safe from goon squads.

Appeal of Clint Bowyer penalty set for Wednesday
By Nate RyanSep 24, 2015, 6:35 PM EDT
The appeal of a penalty that dealt a severe blow to Clint Bowyer’s Chase for the Sprint Cup bid will be heard Wednesday, Sept. 30.
NASCAR confirmed the date but said the time and location still is to be determined. A three-person panel is being selected to consider the case of Michael Waltrip Racing, which is challenging the P4 penalty stemming from the opening day of inspection at Chicagoland Speedway.
The punishment including a 25-point deduction for Bowyer and a three-race suspension and $75,000 fine for crew chief Billy Scott. Because the penalty is being appealed, Scott’s suspension is deferred, and he will be working on Bowyer’s No. 15 Toyota at New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend.
Bowyer’s points penalty will remain in place until the outcome of the appeal hearing. He dropped a position to the 16th and final spot in the Chase standings, nine points behind Kevin Harvick (who finished 42nd in the playoff opener).
MWR, which is being shuttered after the season, would have an option for a final appeal if it loses Wednesday’s hearing. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3968 | {"url": "https://nascar.nbcsports.com/2015/09/24/appeal-of-clint-bowyer-penalty-set-for-wednesday/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "nascar.nbcsports.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:45:07Z", "digest": "sha1:F65CEUSK77FIQ6YVAK3VAYSFSX5YGFS7"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1145, 1145.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1145, 29334.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1145, 7.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1145, 193.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1145, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1145, 214.1]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1145, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1145, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1145, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1145, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1145, 0.36595745]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1145, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1145, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1145, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1145, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1145, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1145, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1145, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1145, 0.0227027]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1145, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1145, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1145, 0.02553191]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1145, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1145, 0.17021277]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1145, 0.6443299]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1145, 4.76804124]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1145, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1145, 4.53906171]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1145, 194.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 87, 0.0], [87, 218, 1.0], [218, 494, 1.0], [494, 790, 1.0], [790, 1025, 1.0], [1025, 1145, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 87, 0.0], [87, 218, 0.0], [218, 494, 0.0], [494, 790, 0.0], [790, 1025, 0.0], [1025, 1145, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 49, 8.0], [49, 87, 8.0], [87, 218, 25.0], [218, 494, 45.0], [494, 790, 47.0], [790, 1025, 40.0], [1025, 1145, 21.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 87, 0.26470588], [87, 218, 0.01574803], [218, 494, 0.00369004], [494, 790, 0.03146853], [790, 1025, 0.01746725], [1025, 1145, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 49, 0.0], [49, 87, 0.0], [87, 218, 0.0], [218, 494, 0.0], [494, 790, 0.0], [790, 1025, 0.0], [1025, 1145, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 49, 0.08163265], [49, 87, 0.23684211], [87, 218, 0.0610687], [218, 494, 0.04710145], [494, 790, 0.04391892], [790, 1025, 0.0212766], [1025, 1145, 0.03333333]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1145, 0.09689397]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1145, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1145, 0.7733286]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1145, -67.37343363]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1145, 22.33691798]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1145, -28.46317297]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1145, 10.0]]} |

UNO Teacher Education Department wins university-wide teaching award
University of Nebraska President Ted Carter announced today that the Teacher Education Department at the University of Nebraska at Omaha is the recipient of the 2020 University-wide Departmental Teaching Award.
The UDTA, one of the President’s Excellence Awards, is the NU system’s most prestigious honor for departmental excellence in teaching. Since 1993, the UDTA has recognized departments or units within the university that have made unique and significant contributions to NU’s teaching efforts and that have demonstrated outstanding commitment to the education of students at the undergraduate, graduate or professional levels.
Honored departments are selected by a committee of faculty members from across the university system.
“At the University of Nebraska, everything we do is about students – the young people who are the future leaders of our state,” Carter said. “UNO’s Teacher Education Department truly embodies that principle. The department’s students, faculty and staff are a model of collaboration and creativity in promoting teaching excellence at all levels. They make our university better, they strengthen our community and their contributions are growing Nebraska’s workforce and transforming the lives of young people across the state.
“I’m proud to celebrate the many achievements of the UNO Teacher Education Department.”
Chaired by Professor Kathy Danielson and housed in the College of Education under the leadership of Dean Nancy Edick, the Teacher Education Department has built a strong record of preparing highly qualified teachers who are prepared to succeed in diverse school districts in and around Omaha and across the state and region. Two out of every three educators in the Omaha metropolitan area hold a UNO degree, a reflection of the department’s deep connection to its community.
The Teacher Education Department has built an instructional culture that encourages and rewards high-quality teaching and prioritizes student education, faculty engagement, and diversity and inclusion. Among its successes:
Several years ago, the department began a comprehensive redesign of its Bachelor of Science in Education curriculum. The resulting initiative, BRIDGES, is modeled after the clinical education approach used in medical schools in which block scheduling creates cohorts of students who move through courses and corresponding field experiences as a group. The new model has resulted in significant improvements in student experiences and outcomes.
The College of Education launched a program called Career Advancement and Development for Recruits and Experienced Teachers, through which first-year teachers complete an accelerated master’s program while receiving support from UNO faculty, veteran teachers and other first-year teachers. The nationally recognized program allows for the exchange of knowledge and services between UNO and local school districts.
Through its course offerings and community engagement, the department is a leader in advancing STEM education and early childhood education, two of UNO’s campus-wide priorities.
The department’s faculty are committed to leveraging technology to enhance course delivery. For example, its online bachelor’s degree in library science has earned a top national ranking for its quality curriculum and 100 percent job placement rate among graduates who go on to work as academic librarians, technology coordinators, media archivists, public library directors and more.
The department actively engages and supports its faculty. A mentoring program pairs tenure-track faculty members with tenured faculty who guides the junior faculty member through the reappointment, promotion and tenure process, and each part-time faculty member also receives one-on-one mentoring.
The department promotes inclusivity, diversity and equity, for example through a “Culture Walks” program that provides teacher candidates with opportunities to experience the culture and history of minority populations.
The Teacher Education Department has a strong record of securing external funding to support research and creative activity focused on improving instructional excellence. Department faculty frequently collaborate across the UNO campus, with UNL and UNK, and with district and community partners on scholarly projects to improve P-16 education. Over the past decade, interdisciplinary teams involving Teacher Education Department faculty collaborating with one or more Metropolitan Omaha Educational Consortium school districts account for more than $14 million in National Science Foundation funding for projects to improve student outcomes.
Carter will host a luncheon this spring to honor the Teacher Education Department.

Equality State Privacy Center – Digital privacy task force faces broad scope of work
Carl Szabo of NetChoice, a trade association that includes some of the biggest operators on the Internet, including eBay, PayPal, AOL, and Google, said the task force should learn first what laws already exist to protect consumers from fraud and other perils, and how users can employ existing technological services and tools to protect their private data themselves. He said policymakers should be more concerned about the use of information rather than the collection of information. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3973 | {"url": "https://netchoice.org/equality-state-privacy-center-digital-privacy-task-force-faces-broad-scope-work/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "netchoice.org", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:04:47Z", "digest": "sha1:WMRCP2BQNPW5VUYVXWCTEBXBRW6T4BOD"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 571, 571.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 571, 2250.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 571, 2.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 571, 79.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 571, 0.92]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 571, 279.7]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 571, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 571, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 571, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 571, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 571, 0.39393939]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 571, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 571, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 571, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 571, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 571, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 571, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 571, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 571, 0.03805497]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 571, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 571, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 571, 0.01010101]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 571, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 571, 0.1010101]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 571, 0.78888889]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 571, 5.25555556]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 571, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 571, 4.13614399]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 571, 90.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 85, 0.0], [85, 571, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 85, 0.0], [85, 571, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 85, 14.0], [85, 571, 76.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 85, 0.0], [85, 571, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 85, 0.0], [85, 571, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 85, 0.05882353], [85, 571, 0.02674897]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 571, 0.88236731]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 571, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 571, 0.18831557]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 571, -15.33715225]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 571, 12.40046413]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 571, -2.07871613]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 571, 2.0]]} |
Composition of the plankton community and its contribution to the particle flux in the Sargasso Sea
The ‘biological pump’, the photosynthetically mediated transformation of dissolved inorganic carbon into particulate and dissolved organic carbon in surface ocean waters and its subsequent export to deep water, is a significant driver of the atmospheric carbon uptake by the oceans. It is driven by the activity of planktonic organisms in the surface layer of the ocean, their growth as well as grazing. In an earlier NSF-Biological Oceanography project (“Composition of the Plankton Community and Its Contribution to Particle Flux in the Sargasso Sea”) we studied the phytoplankton communities in the water column and in sinking particles collected by shallow surface tethered traps from May 2008 till April 2010 at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-Series Station (BATS) in the Sargasso Sea. We used a combination of traditional (epifluorescence microscopy, flow cytometry, HPLC) and novel molecular approaches (rRNA gene based Clone Libraries and DGGE fingerprints) in this research The emergence of molecular methods in marine ecological research provides us with the unique opportunity to not only study the diversity of phytoplankton in the water column, but also the microscopically “invisible” plankton contained in the detritus or fecal pellets collected by the traps (see references below).
We were funded by NSF-Biological Oceanography for a project entitled “Plankton Community Composition and Trophic Interactions as Modifiers of Carbon Export in the Sargasso Sea”, in short “Trophic BATS” (in collaboration with Dr. Tammi Richardson from the University of South Carolina, USC, Dr. Mike Lomas from the Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences, BIOS, and Dr. Rob Condon from the Dauphin Island Sea Lab in Alabama). In this project we studied the contribution of phytoplankton groups to the carbon export at the Bermuda Atlantic Time-Series Station in the context of the food web process in the upper ocean, with a particular focus on mesoscale cyclonic and anticyclonic eddies in the region. These are large circular oceanic features several 10’s of kilometers across that can either suppress or stimulate the activities of the plankton communities. In addition to studying the contribution of plankton organisms to particle flux, we also measured taxon specific growth and grazing rates using the dilution method to relate the importance of plankton organisms in the upper water column to their role in particle export. Read more about the first cruise in the trophic BATS project here and this blog about the science and life onboard the ship written on the third cruise written by Doug Bell at BIOS (now at USC).

Worcester Pastor Declares Victory

City authorities in Worcester have dropped fines and an attempt to get criminal charges against the pastor who defied Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker’s executive order that severely limited church services during an earlier portion of the coronavirus emergency.
Pastor Kris Casey has also withdrawn his federal civil rights lawsuit against the governor, according to court papers.
Casey said he is pleased with the outcome.
“Our God is victorious, He always wins!” Casey said in a written statement Friday morning. “… They withdrew charges and are going to leave us alone. That’s all we wanted.”
A spokesman for the Massachusetts Attorney General’s office, which represented the governor in the case, could not immediately be reached Friday.
From March 23 to May 18, Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker by executive order limited most public gatherings to 10 people, including what the order called “faith-based” events.
Casey began holding public services at Adams Square Baptist Church in Worcester open to several dozen people on Sunday, April 26, about a month after the governor issued the order. The pastor continued to disregard the governor’s order on subsequent Wednesdays and Sundays.
The pastor took unusual health precautions, including paying for professional cleanings of the church before services, taking temperatures at the door, and requiring masks, gloves, and social distancing. He told New Boston Post on Friday morning that he knows of no one who attended church who subsequently got sick.
During that time the city issued the pastor a $300 civil penalty and applied for a $500 fine and criminal charges in Worcester District Court. Jail was also a possibility – violating the governor’s order could have drawn “a term of imprisonment,” according to a state directive.
Instead, the clerk-magistrate in Worcester District Court on May 21 withdrew the civil infraction and the application for a criminal charge initially filed by Worcester police, acting on a request by a lawyer for the city, according to a letter obtained Friday, June 26 by New Boston Post. A show-cause hearing before the clerk magistrate that had been scheduled for Monday, June 15 was also cancelled May 21, according to the letter.
That information was not publicly available previously because the clerk-magistrate process in Massachusetts is often secret unless the clerk-magistrate issues a criminal charge.
On Friday, June 26, Wendy Quinn, assistant city solicitor and head litigator for the city of Worcester, issued a statement about pastor’s case after being contacted by New Boston Post. It states in full:
“On May 21, 2020, the City of Worcester informed the Worcester District Court that it was withdrawing the civil citation and the criminal complaint against the Adams Square Baptist Church and Kristopher Casey, and received confirmation that same day from the District Court that the matters had been withdrawn, all with the full knowledge of Mr. Casey’s attorneys.”
The date of the clerk-magistrate’s letter dismissing the criminal application is eight days after Casey filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Boston claiming the governor violated his right to religious freedom under the federal and state constitutions. That lawsuit, filed May 13, was followed on May 15 by a temporary agreement among lawyers for Casey, the city, and the Massachusetts Attorney General’s office, in which the authorities agreed not to pursue additional penalties against the pastor while waiting for the governor’s anticipated new coronavirus rules.
The governor’s new rules, issued Monday, May 18, lifted the most draconian restrictions on church services, authorizing public services as long as people in the church wear masks and maintain social distancing and as long as a church building’s occupancy doesn’t exceed 40 percent of its ordinary capacity. Churches are also supposed to sanitize their buildings between services.
The new May 18 rules largely lifted the resistance to the governor’s orders regarding churches. But the new order hasn’t ended opposition.
On June 1, two Protestant pastors joined a restaurant owner, two hair salon owners, a family amusement business, a conference center, and a Christian school in filing a lawsuit in Worcester Superior Court claiming that the governor has violated the state constitution and existing state statutes during the coronavirus emergency. That case is pending.
A lawyer for the plaintiffs in that case said he wants a judge to declare that going forward the governor can’t restrict religious and business life on his own authority the way he has been doing the last several months.
Pastor Casey, who is not part of the Worcester Superior Court case, sees his journey through the courts as at an end.
“First and foremost I want to praise God through my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to whom all glory goes to,” Casey said in a text message Friday morning, adding that dozens of people have come to the church during the past several weeks to profess their faith in Jesus and start the process of getting baptized. “… Truly appreciate the power of the Holy Spirit keeping me calm and steady in the assurance of doing the right thing for Jesus.”
He also thanked his wife “for her unwavering support in my decision to stand for our Church, our Faith, and our family.”
He thanked friends and members of his church, as well, although he noted that some Christian pastors opposed him.
“We endured much friendly fire,” Casey said in the text message. “… But I forgive you and wish you the best in your ministry and walk with Christ. I’m here for you and have stood for you when you wouldn’t stand for yourself.”

Precipitating an economic and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela is not a foundation for the peaceful settlement of dispute, the UN expert warned.
UN Special Rapporteur for sanctions Idriss Jazairy says that the United States’ attempt to topple the Venezuelan government with an oil embargo is illegal and will have grave humanitarian consequences.

Sanctions which can lead to starvation and medical shortages are not the answer to the crisis in Venezuela, says UN human rights expert Idriss Jazairy. His comments follow the imposition of sanctions on Venezuela’s national oil company by the United States.
“I am especially concerned to hear reports that these sanctions are aimed at changing the government of Venezuela,” said Mr. Jazairy, the UN Special Rapporteur concerned with the negative impact of sanctions.
“Coercion, whether military or economic, must never be used to seek a change in government in a sovereign state. The use of sanctions by outside powers to overthrow an elected government is in violation of all norms of international law.
“I call upon the international community to engage in constructive dialogue with Venezuela to find solutions to the very real challenges being faced,” the expert urged.
“Economic sanctions are effectively compounding the grave crisis affecting the Venezuelan economy, adding to the damage caused by hyperinflation and the fall in oil prices. This is a time when compassion should be expressed for the long-suffering people of Venezuela by promoting, not curtailing, access to food and medicine,” Mr. Jazairy said.
Precipitating an economic and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela is not a foundation for the peaceful settlement of disputes, Mr. Jazairy noted. “I call on States to engage in and facilitate constructive dialogues with all parties to find solutions which respect the human rights of Venezuelans,” he said.
“I am deeply concerned about reports of serious human rights violations happening in Venezuela, including a growing risk of violence, and implicit threats of international violence. There is a need for all parties and all countries to work for a peaceful solution which does not lead to any further violence,” the expert added.
His call echoed comments by the Spokesman for the UN Secretary General, underscoring “the urgent need for all relevant actors to engage in an inclusive and credible political dialogue to address the long crisis facing the country, with full respect for the rule of law and human rights”.
The expert drew attention to the UN Declaration on the Principles of International Lawconcerning friendly relations and cooperation among States in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, which urges States to resolve their differences through dialogue and peaceful relations, and to avoid the use of economic, political or other measures to coerce another State in regard to the exercise of its sovereign rights.
“I urge all countries to avoid applying sanctions unless approved by the United Nations Security Council, as required by the UN Charter,” the Special Rapporteur concluded.
Mr. Idriss Jazairy (Algeria) was appointed by the Human Rights Council as the first Special Rapporteur on the negative impact of the unilateral coercive measures on the enjoyment of human rights. He took office in May 2015. Mr. Jazairy has extensive experience in the fields of international relations and human rights with the Algerian Foreign Ministry, the UN human rights system and international NGOs. He holds a M.A. (Oxford) in Philosophy, Politics and Economics, and an M.P.A. (Harvard). He also graduated from the Ecole nationale d’Administration (France).

The “S” in STEM does not mean “Scary”

Over 60 adults and their Girl Scout Guests were in attendance.
November was a busy month for the NEW Early this November, the Girl Scouts of the Western Great Lakes Council hosted a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) event to highlight a series of new badges released this past summer. This science fair themed event was a series of 12 different booths. Each booth focused on an activity directly from the STEM badges the girls could work toward within their troop.
Many people think of STEM as expensive, highly technical, and complicated. This event was designed to help people better understand these statements are not entirely true. The “S” in STEM does not mean “Scary”. Topics such as: Space, Programming, Cyber Security, Engineering, and Robotics activities were highlighted. Paper, markers, tape, and items from the recycling bin were used for the different activities to help show how cost effective these projects are. Finally, the concepts were shown in a way that is understandable to all ages and abilities.
Girls designing their vehicle for testing.
The mechanical engineering booth focused on an activity that looked at resistance. The activity was to design different vehicles and test them on a ramp to see how fast or slow the vehicle traveled. The supplies were items you would find in a recycle bin, wooden dowels, and tape. As a result, a simple way was shown how the girls can test the resistance different vehicle in a fun and simple way.
This event could not have happened without the help of a great group of volunteers. A total of 14 volunteers helped put on this event. Students and Staff from Fox Valley Technical College, Women in Technology, and other IT Professionals helped run the booths, but also talked about what they did professionally. Through this event, over 60 adults and their Girl Scout Guest learned about the badges. Plus, a new batch of Girl Scouts are excited to earn STEM badges and learned more about the possibilities they can achieve in their future careers in the sciences.
Some of the volunteers: Susie Nelson, Terri Towel, and Beth Helker

Mumbai, October 2022: The Don Bosco Development Society (DBDS), Mumbai is running 20 remedial classes for 495 children from the slums of Mumbai under the aegis of MGL Disha Project supported by Mahanagar Gas Limited.
The number of students keep varying as some students who join initially do not attend class regularly due to lack of interest. There are 495 students in these 20 classes. The social workers hold meetings with parents and teachers in the school. Many of the students in these classes are referred by the school teachers as they are way behind other students and need extra attention from teachers. 30 visits were made by the Project Officer and Social workers. 12 meetings with parents were held on the progress of children.

Simon Phillip Cowell (/ˈkaʊəl/; born 7 October 1959) is an English television personality, entrepreneur and record executive. He is the creator of The X Factor and Got Talent franchises which have been sold around the world. He has judged on the British television talent competition series Pop Idol (2001–2003), The X Factor UK (2004–2010, 2014–2018) and Britain’s Got Talent (2007–present), and the American television talent competition series American Idol (2002–2010), The X Factor US (2011–2013), and America’s Got Talent (2006–present). Cowell is the founder and sole owner of the British entertainment company Syco.
After some success in the 1980s and 1990s as a record producer, talent scout and consultant in the UK music industry, Cowell came to public prominence in 2001 as a judge on Pop Idol, a talent television show which he and its creator Simon Fuller successfully pitched to ITV Controller of Entertainment Claudia Rosencrantz. In 2004 and 2010, Time named Cowell one of the 100 most influential people in the world.[1][2] In 2008, The Daily Telegraph ranked him sixth in their list of the “100 most powerful people in British culture”.[3] The same year, he received the Special Recognition Award at the National Television Awards.[4] At the 2010 British Academy Television Awards, Cowell received the BAFTA Special Award for his “outstanding contribution to the entertainment industry and for his development of new talent”.[5] In 2018, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the television category.[6] | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3980 | {"url": "https://news21zone.com/archives/14236", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "news21zone.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T08:58:19Z", "digest": "sha1:U3DBU3JA42QRSCYJMRVG4LTRRY2XB2CP"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1634, 1634.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1634, 3842.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1634, 3.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1634, 35.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1634, 0.95]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1634, 43.1]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1634, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1634, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1634, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1634, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1634, 0.28012048]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1634, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1634, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1634, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1634, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1634, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1634, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1634, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1634, 0.01512859]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1634, 0.02269289]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1634, 0.04992436]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1634, 0.02409639]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1634, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1634, 0.25903614]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1634, 0.54651163]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1634, 5.12403101]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1634, 0.00301205]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1634, 4.54032687]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1634, 258.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 98, 0.0], [98, 722, 1.0], [722, 1634, 0.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 98, 0.0], [98, 722, 0.0], [722, 1634, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 98, 16.0], [98, 722, 93.0], [722, 1634, 149.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 98, 0.02105263], [98, 722, 0.08892617], [722, 1634, 0.0496614]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 98, 0.0], [98, 722, 0.0], [722, 1634, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 98, 0.06122449], [98, 722, 0.05929487], [722, 1634, 0.05153509]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1634, 0.99490637]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1634, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1634, 0.98742431]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1634, -115.77064162]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1634, 31.95899303]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1634, 82.70001321]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1634, 11.0]]} |
HomeTechnologyWhy mosquitoes bite some people more than others
Mosquitoes and the diseases they carry have killed more people than all the wars in human history combined.
Statistics indicate that the mosquito is by far the deadliest creature in the world to humans. In 2018 alone, the insect was responsible for around 725,000 deaths.
In that same year, the second deadliest animal was precisely humans, causing the death of 437,000 similar animals. And we were followed (with a long distance) by the combined aggressions of snakes, dogs, poisonous snails, crocodiles, hippos, elephants, lions, wolves and sharks.
This situation is naturally worrying and led the World Health Assembly — the annual decision-making event of the World Health Organization (WHO) — to approve, in 2017, the Global Response to Vector Control (GVCR). 2017-2030. This is an action aimed at strategically orienting countries to urgently strengthen vector control, among which mosquitoes stand out.
This insight is critical to preventing disease and responding to emerging infectious outbreaks. After all, mosquitoes can transmit numerous diseases, such as West Nile fever, Zika, dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, St. valley fever, Semliki forest virus infection, Sindbis fever, Japanese encephalitis, Ross river fever, Barmah forest fever or malaria—the latter, responsible for 627,000 deaths in 2020 alone.
Carbon dioxide and body odors
Mosquitoes, male and female, could live without biting other animals. But females need blood to complete their reproductive cycle.
Almost a century ago, carbon dioxide (CO2) was identified as being attractive to mosquitoes. And that gas was used to capture the female mosquitoes, which look for the blood needed to acquire nutrients for oogenesis — the generation of eggs.
But there is no evidence available to indicate that CO2 acts as a gauge of the attraction differential. Also, carbon dioxide emission levels do not explain why mosquitoes systematically prefer one person over another. What is the reason then?
There are other physical-chemical signs that affect the mosquito’s attraction to certain people, particularly heat, water vapor, humidity, visual signs and, most importantly, the odors exhaled through the skin.
It is not yet known for sure which scents attract mosquitoes the most, but several studies indicate molecules such as indole, nonanol, octenol and lactic acid as main suspects.
A team of researchers led by Matthew DeGennaro of Florida International University in the United States has identified a unique odor receptor, known as ionotropic receptor 8a (IR8a), which allows the mosquito to Aedes aegypti identify lactic acid. As is known, this mosquito is the transmitter of dengue, chikungunya and zika.
When scientists mutated the IR8a receptor, found on insect antennae, they found that mosquitoes were unable to detect lactic acid and other acidic odors exhaled by humans.
Acetophenone: the ‘perfume’ that attracts mosquitoes
Recent research has indicated that dengue and zika viruses alter the odor of infected mice and humans to make them more attractive to mosquitoes. It is an interesting strategy, as it helps the insects to bite the host, withdraw their infected blood and transport the virus to another individual.
Viruses can do this by modifying the emission of an aromatic ketone – acetophenone – which is especially attractive to mosquitoes.
Normally, the skin of humans and rodents produces an antimicrobial peptide that limits bacterial populations. But it has been shown that, in mice infected with dengue or zika, the concentration of this peptide is reduced, and bacteria of the genus proliferate. Bacilluswhich activate the production of acetophenone.
In humans, a similar fact occurs: odors collected from the armpits of dengue patients contained more acetophenone than those of healthy people.
The interesting thing is that this can be fixed. Some of the rats infected with dengue were treated with isotretinoin, which reduced acetophenone emissions. As a result, the mice became less attractive to insects.
Microbes that alter odor
This is not the only case in which a microorganism manipulates the physiology of mosquitoes and their human hosts to favor their transmission.
People infected with the parasite that causes malaria, Plasmodium falciparumfor example, are more attractive than healthy individuals to Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes, vectors of the disease.
The reason is still unknown, but it may be related to the fact that Plasmodium falciparum produces an isoprenoid precursor called (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl pyrophosphate (HMBPP). This precursor affects the mosquito’s blood-seeking and feeding behaviors as well as its susceptibility to infection.
Concretely, HMBPP activates human red blood cells to increase the release of CO2, aldehydes and monoterpenes, which together more strongly attract the mosquito and invite it to “suck our blood”.
And the addition of HMBPP to blood samples significantly increases the attraction aroused in other mosquito species, such as anopheles coluzzii, anopheles arabiensis, Aedes aegypti and species of the complex Culex peeps/Culex torrentium.
Understanding what are the factors involved in the preference expressed by mosquitoes to bite this or that person will help to determine and reduce the risk of spreading infectious diseases transmitted by vectors.

EETAA: The final results for the granting of vouchers for nurseries and KDAP were announced
After checking the objections, the number of valid applications reached 185,956 and concerned 253,445 children. The number of vouchers that will be granted in this phase is 169,256.
The final results of the EETAA program for hosting in nurseries through the provision of vouchers, for the period 2022 – 2023, have been announced.
After checking the objections, the number of valid applications reached 185,956 and concerned 253,445 children. The number of vouchers that will be granted in this phase is 169,256. The total of 84,189 children who are currently living outside structures concerns KDAP, as out of 133,705 children 49,516 will be satisfied.
However, with special funding of 5 million euros that is expected to be provided by the Ministry of the Interior, the number of benefiting children who are going to be enrolled in the Municipal KDAP will increase.
At the same time, according to EETAA, there will be additional support from the co-competent Ministries of Finance and Development from the PDE, so that more than 10,000 vouchers will be granted for the specific structures.
On the contrary, the applications with complete files concerning infants (53,699), toddlers (56,907), as well as school-age children – teenagers – persons with disabilities (9,134) were satisfied in their entirety.
The budget of the program for the period 2022-2023 amounts to 331 million euros, increased by more than 20 million compared to last year’s period 2021-2022 and is co-financed by the European Social Fund (ESF+) within the framework of the NSRF 2021-2027 , from national resources (PDE) and from the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs.
Also at the proposal of the aforementioned Ministry, the amount corresponding to the Vouchers of the nurseries and kindergartens as well as the Integrated Care Structures was increased by 10%.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) launched an inquiry into the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding of bat research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology, newly released emails show.
The interest from the top U.S. intelligence agency adds to the international scrutiny on the Wuhan facility, which houses one of China’s highest-level biosecurity labs that has been considered a possible source of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“In preparation for our call on Tuesday, Erik [Stemmy] (cc’d) has provided responses to your initial questions below (also attached),” wrote Ashley Sanders, an investigation officer at the NIH’s division of program integriy, in an email (pdf) dated May 22, 2020 with the subject “Grant Questions – FBI Inquiry,” and directed to FBI agent David Miller.
The email was obtained by government transparency watchdog Judicial Watch through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, which asked for records of communications, contracts, and agreements with the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV).
The scope of the inquiry is unclear because the rest of the email correspondence, five pages in total, are entirely redacted. But the name of the email attachment “SF 424 AI110964-06 (received date 11/05/2018),” corresponds to the NIH grant “Understanding the Risk of Bat Coronavirus Emergence.”
The project in question is headed by Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance, which then funnels money to the lab in Wuhan. From 2014 to 2019, the New York nonprofit received six yearly grants totaling $3,748,715 from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases under the NIH to fund the project, which was expected to end in 2026.
The FBI inquiry had focused on at least two of the grants, in 2014 and 2019 respectively, the email subject line suggests.
The 2014 grant aimed to “understand what factors increase the risk of the next CoV emerging in people by studying CoV diversity in a critical zoonotic reservoir (bats), at sites of high risk for emergence (wildlife markets) in an emerging disease hotspot (China),” according to the project description. Specifically, the researchers would assess the coronavirus spillover potential, develop predictive models of bat coronavirus emergence risk, and use virus infection experiments as well as “reverse genetics” to test the virus’s transmission between species.

In the project summary for the 2019 grant, EcoHealth stated that they had found that “bats in southern China harbor an extraordinary diversity of SARSr-CoVs,” and some of those viruses can “infect humanized mouse models causing SARS-like illness, and evade available therapies or vaccines.”
Recently disclosed documents show that, under one grant, the WIV had conducted an experiment that resulted in a more potent version of a bat coronavirus.

Home/USA/Over-the-counter hearing aids available in the US for the first time
Over-the-counter hearing aids available in the US for the first time
EleonOctober 17, 2022
For the first time, hearing aids are available for purchase over-the-counter at retailers across the United States.
Starting Monday, under a landmark ruling by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, adults with mild to moderate hearing loss can buy hearing aids in a store or online without a prescription, review medical or fitting by an audiologist – and for thousands of dollars less than they used to cost, according to the White House.
The FDA estimates the new rule could reduce average hearing aid costs by up to $3,000 per pair, the White House said. Consumers are expected to save approximately $1,400 per individual hearing aid, or more than $2,800 per pair.
“A person’s ‘overall health’ is a combination of many factors, including hearing, that influence physical and mental well-being,” Walmart’s chief medical officer Dr. John Wigneswaran said in a statement Monday. a statement. “Providing easy access to over-the-counter hearing aids – something that seems quite small – is a solution that can improve our customers’ health outcomes and their ability to lead healthier, better lives.”
Walgreens now sells hearing aids in stores nationwide and online for $799 a pair. Walmart also offers an assortment of over-the-counter hearing aids — ranging in price from $199 to $999 per pair — at Walmart.com, SamsClub.com, and more than 1,000 Vision Centers in Walmart stores across Colorado, of Michigan and Missouri. , Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Texas, as well as 474 Sam’s Club hearing aid centers. CVS now sells over-the-counter hearing aids online, with various model and price options. The company will also offer hearing aids at select CVS Pharmacy locations starting in November, according to the White House.
Best Buy will carry nearly 20 different hearing aids online starting this week. By the end of the month, the company will offer hearing aids in nearly 300 stores across the country. The devices will cost between $200 and $3,000.
Hy-Vee will sell over-the-counter hearing aids online and in 34 locations across Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and Wisconsin starting this week. The company plans to offer hearing aids in 100 locations by the end of the year. There will be four different models ranging in price from $499.99 to $999.99, according to the White House.
The FDA announced the return in August, issuing a final ruling that established a new category of over-the-counter hearing aids to improve access and, therefore, lower costs for millions of Americans. The decision followed an executive order from President Joe Biden in 2021 that called on the FDA to take action to allow the sale of over-the-counter hearing aids.
“The new over-the-counter category applies to select air conduction hearing aids, intended for adults ages 18 and older who have perceived mild to moderate hearing loss,” said Dr. Jeffrey Shuren, director of the Center for Devices and Radiological from the FDA. Health, said during a briefing on August 16. “Hearing aids for severe hearing loss or for users under the age of 18 will be prescription devices, to ensure patient safety as well as effectiveness.”
Air conduction hearing aids are worn inside the ear or over the ear, with an in-ear component and amplified sound in the ear canal. In an effort to prevent further hearing loss, these devices will have sound limitations, the FDA said.
Nearly 30 million Americans have some degree of hearing loss, including nearly 10 million adults under age 60, according to the White House.

Back Yard to get new owner
October 1, 2008 by News of St. John
Long ago, and far away, there was a bar on St. John called the Back Yard. It was an iconic, laid-back locals’ place, where all the builders and carpenters, and painters would hang out after a hard day’s work, or ‘night’ as befits the island’s reputation.
It was dark and not too many tourists felt comparable in its dodgy environs, the building hidden behind gift shops and accessible by a narrow walkway. But the place rocked, and was I think the soul of St. John’s development through the ’80s.
Well, one thing led to another, and the place closed. recently, Duffy’s from St. Thomas tried to make a go of the place, then they closed. And the space has been for sale for some time; not the building, but a "long term leasehold interest" That means you don’t own the building, but you can rent it.
Finally, there’s a ‘contract pending’ on the Multiple Listing Service. Will it return to its days of glory as a locals place serving Greenies for a couple of bucks, or will it go upscale with many other places? or will it even be a bar/restaurant? Stay tuned.

Ahh, Frank – those were the Good Ole’ Days. I still have my closing party t-shirt, do you? Backyard – R.I.P., “We shall not forget, what we could not remember.”

Am I “Way Off”, or was it “fire-bombed”?
In other news, GREAT location when I visited in ’01.
I gladly visit Duffy’s on STT, -those wings are my 39 year old “Soul Crushers”!
(Mmm, sweet and tangy, and fiji- …)
Walking by it these days(The former building that housed Duffy’s ,on STJ) kind of leaves me with a lonely/hungry feeling.
So happy to return soon,-
I too have a couple of shirts from the “Good old Days”-
Hopefully something good will come from it…
In the immortal words of Robin -Kermit The Frogs’ son;
“Halfway down the stair, is the stair where sit. There isn’t any other stair quite like it. It’s not at the bottom, it’s not at the top; but this is the stair where I always stop.”
I love that place.

Re: Back Yard to get new owner.
To say that Duffy’s tried to make a go of the old Back Yard and then closed is not only false but an insult to my friend Tim Duffy. Tim Duffy died. When his health failed he sold Duffy’s for a shade over 600 thousand dollars. I know this because I was the listing agent. If running a business for many years and making huge profits and then selling the business for a record price is trying to make a go of it and then closing, well Frank we should all want to try and close a few business and then retire. Tim Duffy knew how to run a bar. He was a pro. He made a great deal of money at Duffy’s on St. John. You make it sound like he failed. You seem to have a personal agenda in your blog that is really very unfortunate. The Back Yard was one one of the most successful bars on St. John for years and then Tim in and opened Duffy’s. The sale of lease hold interests in property is standard practice on St. John. I’m not aware of any existing businesses for sale with free hold property. We received offers for the lease as soon as it was advertised for sale. The owner of the property turned down numerous offers waiting for people with strong back grounds in Bar/restaurant and experience in the Caribbean. The new owners are professionals. Do you still come down to St. John once in a while? I know you used to down once a year or so just to finger on the pulse of the community.

I’m not sure it was that I last went to Duffy’s or whatever it’s name was on St. John. It was sad for me because I loved the backyard the way it was. Some one says it was dark, not true open and with an upstairs completely open. I entered the dark cave it later became and was just sad. I’m sure it was a success with the huge influx of people. Open the new owners return it to what it was, a local fun place with lots of character. | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3985 | {"url": "https://newsofstjohn.com/back-yard-to-ge/", "partition":

Half a century in the parcel business: Hamburg-based delivery company Hermes turns 50
In 1972, the Hamburg-based mail-order company OTTO founded Hermes Paket-Schnell-Dienst so as to be able to deliver its goods in a more service-orientated manner independently of the German postal service.

In 1972, the Hamburg-based mail-order company OTTO founded Hermes Paket-Schnell-Dienst so as to be able to deliver its goods in a more service-orientated manner independently of the German postal service. Since then, Hermes has developed rapidly and is now active in various business divisions and subsidiaries, even operating beyond national borders. The original business, the national parcel delivery service, is run by Hermes Germany GmbH, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary and taking time to both reflect and look towards the future. As well as the on-going subject of digitalisation, climate and environmental protection will be of the greatest priority for the Hamburg-based logistics company in the coming years.
“The past 50 years have been very moving for Hermes – both literally and figuratively: a little parcel delivery company has become a household name that is now a mainstay of the parcel industry. Without our strong sense of togetherness, the dedication of all our staff and the loyalty of our partners and end customers, none of it would have been possible. On behalf of Hermes Germany, I would like to say a big thank you to them all”, says Olaf Schabirosky, Chief Executive Officer at Hermes Germany.
50 years of logistics expertise meets the future: we’re on our way!
“We have expanded significantly over the past few years. In the future, we intend to continue this trend and drive the logistics industry forward purposefully and sustainably”, says Schabirosky. “Our main focus is to tailor our services even more specifically to the wants and needs of our customers. To do this, we are continuing to put our all into consistently digitalising our business. Sustainability and climate protection have also taken a more prominent, strategic position and are our declared corporate objectives. We know that knowledge and growth are only possible when we take decisive action in the areas of climate and environmental protection. On top of this, we also want to contribute to a worthwhile future.”
Hermes Germany is heavily involved in finding new solutions for the parcel and city logistics industry of the future, particularly in making the last mile even more sustainable. To do this, the logistics company is using a versatile mixture of measures in which electric mobility plays a crucial role. The Green Delivery Berlin scheme, which was launched in the capital last year as a model for sustainable city logistics, has since expanded to include Magdeburg, Dresden and Mainz. Other cities are in the pipeline for 2022.
Overall, Hermes takes a holistic approach when it comes to climate and environmental protection: in addition to measures it is implementing on the last mile, the parcel delivery service is also using green power, renewable energy and highly efficient equipment at its logistics locations to reduce CO2emissions. The newest logistics centres have all been awarded the Gold certificate by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB) and the older locations are gradually being optimised and/or modernised for energy efficiency. The reduction and prevention of CO2 emissions is always the main priority. Wherever technological solutions do not currently exist or are not economically viable, emissions are partially offset by climate protection projects of the highest standard. Another way in which the logistics company is dedicating itself to this cause is via its collaboration with the Otto Group in supporting the climate and nature protection initiative “toMOORow”, which is concerned with the rewetting of peatlands.
Optimistic despite challenging times
The parcel delivery company is not disheartened by the current environment and the market conditions, which are anything but encouraging: “Over the past few years, Hermes Germany has been on a successful path – we have grown sustainably, considerably expanded our customer portfolio and improved our services. In the last business year, almost 97% of deliveries were handed over at the first attempt and at top speed. 93% of standard deliveries arrived at the front door the day after they were handed over to us. This is first-class operative performance and it happens every day. During the pandemic, our network has proven to be resilient and efficient. Overall, in the recent past, we have created a good basis for the future”, explains Schabirosky.
How Hermes became the largest independent CEP logistics company in just five decades
On 1 June 1972, Hermes Paket-Schnell-Dienst was launched as the in-house parcel delivery company of the mail-order company OTTO, independent of the public postal service. The one-millionth package had already been delivered by Christmas 1973. Three years after it was founded, the company – now renamed Hermes Versand Service – had grown into a nationwide delivery enterprise employing approx. 560 members of staff and looking after all the consignments for OTTO. In comparison, Hermes Germany today transports over two million deliveries on peak days and is a reliable partner for both large and small e-commerce business (B2C) as well as for private parcel deliveries (C2C). Customers in over 150 countries can send their parcels and packages with Hermes. 6,000 members of staff from over 90 countries are employed by the parcel delivery company.
Business gained additional momentum in November 1989 when the border between East and West Germany opened up. At Christmas time, the first deliveries were made to the former GDR. After the currency changeover on 1 July 1990, Hermes was the first parcel service to be able to deliver to the entire former Eastern state.
Another significant milestone was the opening of the first Hermes ParcelShop in February 1999. Today, 23 years later, the ParcelShop network is a central building block in the Hermes logistics structure and has also established itself as an important alternative delivery option for the entire industry. In over 16,500 ParcelShops nationwide, Hermes Germany customers can securely and conveniently send and receive parcels and process returns – and, thanks to long opening hours, often do so outside busy periods. The ParcelShops are also a good alternative when it comes to the company’s carbon footprint:on average, consolidated delivery to a ParcelShop causes 25% fewer CO2 emissions than delivery to your home address.
In the 1990s, a new IT era began at Hermes and processes became more and more digital as the years passed. Today, numerous digital tools such as digital route planning facilitate the working day of logistics staff and delivery agents. Bespoke solutions are constantly being tailored to the wants and needs of the customers. Parcels can be redirected to a ParcelShop just before delivery or rerouted to a neighbour, for instance, allowing recipients to actively guide the delivery process. On the whole, the agile and digital collaboration within the company has taken another leap forward as a result of both the coronavirus pandemic and the cultural change initiated in the recent past and practised throughout the Otto Group.
Due to a range of measures including a large-scale, €300 million infrastructure programme, the logistics network has also been massively expanded in recent years with additional modern and sustainable locations. With 13 logistics centres and over 275 private and partner locations nationwide, the Hamburg-based parcel delivery company Hermes Germany has a stable and flexible network at its disposal with which it is optimally equipped for the coming years.

Burke “open” to ideas from new owners
By Jason BroughDec 9, 2011, 2:33 PM EST
Like any savvy employee, Leafs general manager Brian Burke wasted no time buttering up his new corporate overlords today in Toronto.
“I’m perfectly willing to listen to what they have to say,” Burke told reporters, as per the Toronto Sun. “If the new owners have some ideas, as soon as they get control of the team, that’s the first meeting I have.
“Maybe there are things we can do better, from a front office standpoint or a scouting standpoint. I’m open. These are very creative, very bright people.”
Don’t know about you, but I’d pay a lot of money to watch a couple of bean counters from BCE or Rogers walk in to Burke’s office and tell him who they like in the upcoming draft.
Burke also had some kind words for the future former owners, the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan.
“If this deal closes and they move on, I would say thank you for this opportunity to run the Leafs,” he said. “They’ve taken a lot of criticism since before I got here and since and I don’t think that’s warranted. All they’ve tried to do is win.” | 2023-14/0000/en_head.json.gz/3988 | {"url": "https://nhl.nbcsports.com/2011/12/09/burke-open-to-ideas-from-new-owners/", "partition": "head_middle", "language": "en", "source_domain": "nhl.nbcsports.com", "date_download": "2023-03-20T09:10:04Z", "digest": "sha1:NMGMLROUEAOZJZG6RZGRN3ZNARXA2JSV"} | {"ccnet_length": [[0, 1104, 1104.0]], "ccnet_original_length": [[0, 1104, 12998.0]], "ccnet_nlines": [[0, 1104, 8.0]], "ccnet_original_nlines": [[0, 1104, 155.0]], "ccnet_language_score": [[0, 1104, 0.97]], "ccnet_perplexity": [[0, 1104, 261.4]], "ccnet_bucket": [[0, 1104, 0.0]], "rps_doc_curly_bracket": [[0, 1104, 0.0]], "rps_doc_ldnoobw_words": [[0, 1104, 0.0]], "rps_doc_lorem_ipsum": [[0, 1104, 0.0]], "rps_doc_stop_word_fraction": [[0, 1104, 0.44573643]], "rps_doc_ut1_blacklist": [[0, 1104, null]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_10grams": [[0, 1104, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_5grams": [[0, 1104, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_6grams": [[0, 1104, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_7grams": [[0, 1104, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_8grams": [[0, 1104, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_dupe_9grams": [[0, 1104, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_2gram": [[0, 1104, 0.02054795]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_3gram": [[0, 1104, 0.01369863]], "rps_doc_frac_chars_top_4gram": [[0, 1104, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_all_caps_words": [[0, 1104, 0.03875969]], "rps_doc_frac_lines_end_with_ellipsis": [[0, 1104, 0.0]], "rps_doc_frac_no_alph_words": [[0, 1104, 0.18217054]], "rps_doc_frac_unique_words": [[0, 1104, 0.69117647]], "rps_doc_mean_word_length": [[0, 1104, 4.29411765]], "rps_doc_symbol_to_word_ratio": [[0, 1104, 0.0]], "rps_doc_unigram_entropy": [[0, 1104, 4.76041185]], "rps_doc_word_count": [[0, 1104, 204.0]], "rps_lines_ending_with_terminal_punctution_mark": [[0, 38, 0.0], [38, 78, 0.0], [78, 211, 1.0], [211, 427, 1.0], [427, 582, 1.0], [582, 761, 1.0], [761, 858, 1.0], [858, 1104, 1.0]], "rps_lines_javascript_counts": [[0, 38, 0.0], [38, 78, 0.0], [78, 211, 0.0], [211, 427, 0.0], [427, 582, 0.0], [582, 761, 0.0], [761, 858, 0.0], [858, 1104, 0.0]], "rps_lines_num_words": [[0, 38, 7.0], [38, 78, 8.0], [78, 211, 21.0], [211, 427, 41.0], [427, 582, 26.0], [582, 761, 37.0], [761, 858, 16.0], [858, 1104, 48.0]], "rps_lines_numerical_chars_fraction": [[0, 38, 0.0], [38, 78, 0.22222222], [78, 211, 0.0], [211, 427, 0.0], [427, 582, 0.0], [582, 761, 0.0], [761, 858, 0.0], [858, 1104, 0.0]], "rps_lines_start_with_bulletpoint": [[0, 38, 0.0], [38, 78, 0.0], [78, 211, 0.0], [211, 427, 0.0], [427, 582, 0.0], [582, 761, 0.0], [761, 858, 0.0], [858, 1104, 0.0]], "rps_lines_uppercase_letter_fraction": [[0, 38, 0.02631579], [38, 78, 0.225], [78, 211, 0.03759398], [211, 427, 0.02777778], [427, 582, 0.01935484], [582, 761, 0.03910615], [761, 858, 0.05154639], [858, 1104, 0.02845528]], "rps_doc_ml_palm_score": [[0, 1104, 0.55079514]], "rps_doc_ml_wikipedia_score": [[0, 1104, null]], "rps_doc_ml_wikiref_score": [[0, 1104, 0.26176888]], "rps_doc_books_importance": [[0, 1104, -103.33620891]], "rps_doc_openwebtext_importance": [[0, 1104, 61.48676557]], "rps_doc_wikipedia_importance": [[0, 1104, -161.49195303]], "rps_doc_num_sentences": [[0, 1104, 11.0]]} |

Cameras apply onboard processing to render RAW sensor images to the final photo-finished image encoded in a standard color space (e.g., sRGB). Images captured at night present unique challenges that are not typical in most daytime images. For example, it is often sufficient to assume a single global illumination in daytime images, while night images often have multiple illuminants, many of which are visible in the scene. The unique lighting environment present in night photography makes it unclear the best illumination correction to use for night image rendering. In addition, tone curves and similar photo-finishing strategies used to process daytime images may not be appropriate for night photography. Moreover, common image metrics (e.g., SSIM and LPIPS) may not be suitable for night images. Finally, there is significantly less published research focused on image processing for night photography. As a result, there are fewer "best practices" for processing night images. Encouraging research targeting night photography is the main motivation for this challenge.
Given the nature of our challenge, we do not have ground truth images. Our challenge involves developing a rendering procedure that produces "visually pleasing" photographs over a wide range of night images. As a result, submissions will be judged using mean opinion scores from observers asked to compare and rank the submissions based on their visual appearance. A professional photographer will further judge top solutions.
The participants will be given access to raw-RGB images of night scenes. These images have been captured using the same sensor type and are encoded in 16-bit PNG files with additional meta-data provided in JSON files.
The challenge will start with an initial 50 images provided to participants for algorithm development and testing. Data will be available after registration; see the form at the bottom of the page. Additional images will be made available during the challenge; see information below on evaluation and leaderboard below.
As extra data, you can use the Cube++ dataset, which was collected using the same cameras. The dataset is described in this article and can be downloaded from here.
Also we have provided code for the baseline algorithm and its demo on GitHub.
The evaluation will consist of two validation checkpoints during the contest and one final checkpoint at the very end of the contest. Note that only the final checkpoint is mandatory – the validation checkpoints are optional. This means that new participants can join at any time before the final submission deadline, as long as they fulfill other challenge requirements.
For the validation and final checkpoints, mean opinion scores will be obtained through visual comparison carried out using Toloka (similar to Mechanical Turk). Toloka users will rank their preferred solutions in a forced-choice manner. Note that Toloka will mainly rely on observers from Eastern Europe and Russia to perform the image ranking. As a result, there may be a cultural bias in terms of the preferred image aesthetics by the observers. Note that Toloka users will not know the identity of the participants. Example of this evaluation is available here.
The results obtained during the validation checkpoints will provide feedback to challenge teams on their solutions' quality. During each validation checkpoint, 50 new test images will be given. Each participating team will be able to send up to two distinct solution image sets (i.e., you can test out two different algorithms for feedback). Each of these solution sets should consist of exactly 50 images: one solution image per test image. Having two validation sets is intended to help participants test the behavior of different solutions.
For the final submission, 100 test images will be made available. Only a single solution image set for the 100 test images will be allowed for the final submission. Among these 100 images, only 50 images will be used for further evaluation. The indices of the selected images will be the same for all participants and given in advance in an encrypted form, with the password being given only after the contest. Additionally, during the final checkpoint, the submitted solutions ranked among the top-10 based on the Toloka scores – and that have results reproducible by the provided Docker image (submission example will be provided) – will proceed to the professional judgment stage. In this final stage, a professional photographer will provide his selection for the final winners and he will also be asked to provide feedback on his decision.
During the solution submission, the participants will have the option to make their Docker container open, i.e., publicly available after the challenge. Doing so will be a prerequisite to be eligible for money prizes that are described later. Nevertheless, even if the participants choose to keep their Docker container closed, they will still be eligible for winner certificates should they win one of the first three places, while the money prize will be passed on.
Finally, we ask challenge participants to be mindful that this challenge relies on evaluations is subjective in nature. We are designing the challenge to be as fair as possible, given the nature of the task. The challenge organizers reserve the right to modify the evaluation procedures as necessary to improve the challenge.
As mentioned above, for each evaluation check point, users will be allowed to submit 50 images in JPEG format (high-quality compression). Each team can submit at most two solutions. Submissions will be available via Google form, which will be sent to registered teams.
We expect images of size 1300x866 for landscape orientation and 866x1300 for portrait one, in other cases we will rescale them automatically using simple linear methods. You can see an example of an expected JPG file in folder data on challenge repository.
For the final evaluation, a submission will have to contain 100 processed images in the JPEG format, as well as a Docker container with the runnable solutions for reproducing the submitted results. Among these 100 images, only 50 images will be used for further evaluation. The indices of the selected images will be the same for all participants and given in advance in an encrypted form, with the password being given only after the contest. Note that for the preliminary and final submission according to Google policy, you will need to have a Google account.

[Cinepocalypse Review] On the Trail of a Serial Killer in CHARISMATA
Chris Aitkens November 10, 2017
Part crime thriller, part psychological horror, Charismata is a dark, atmospheric mystery with a tinge of gallows humor as the corpses pile up to the ceiling.
Rebecca Faraway is a rookie detective investigating a string of gruesome murders across London, England. Each body is found within a salt pentagram, with satanic symbols and three numbers scrawled on a nearby wall. Every crime scene is unique in that different organs have been removed from the victims, such as their eyes or their heart, and the numbers never match with the previous murder. Forensics yield no fingerprints or DNA evidence that might link the murders to a suspect.
Right from the start, Rebecca is given a hard time by the rest of the male-dominated police force. The stereotypical British charm is done away with, leaving only dry wit and “locker room talk” sexism. Rebecca’s suggestions on possible leads are shrugged off and her ability to handle the case is constantly questioned, despite the fact that the other officers are incompetent bumbling fools (and thus, a source of comic relief). Her partner, Eli Smith, although rough around the edges, sees the potential in Rebecca. However, his encouragement can be interpreted as a form of bullying.
Together, they follow-up on any connections to the crime. They first interview the head of a security firm whose employee discovered one of the bodies. He’s very nervous during the interrogation, but with good reason: he only has two employees available for 24/7 surveillance and it’s likely his company won’t be hired again after a murder took place under their watch.
The next suspect is Michael Sweet (Jamie Satterthwaite), the CEO of a real estate company that owns two of the abandoned buildings where the bodies were found. Sweet is suave and attractive, a real Patrick Bateman type. He doesn’t appear to be disturbed by the nature of the killings and even flirts with Rebecca during their inquiry. He assures the two detectives that he couldn’t possibly be connected to the murders since he has never once visited any of the derelict properties he owns. Rebecca believes there’s more to Sweet than he lets on, but is told to drop it by her superiors.
Rebecca is under a lot of pressure. She needs to crack the case before the serial killer strikes again, all the while living in the shadow of her chief superintendent father. To add to that, she has to deal with the stress of selling her house after going through a devastating divorce. To cope with the pressure, she regularly takes handfuls of anti-anxiety prescription medication with a gulp of wine. And that’s when her reality warps into a fanciful nightmare. What begins as psychosexual dreams of Sweet in her bedroom evolve into full-on hallucinations in her waking life of Sweet sadistically glaring at her from every corner. Rebecca’s psychiatrist chalks up her delusions to the combination of alcohol and her medication, mixed in with her insomnia and the trauma of seeing so many dead bodies in such a short span of time, but Rebecca is not convinced. She feels as if she has been cursed.
The first half of the film plays out like a typical episode of CSI. But audience expectations for a rational conclusion are completely subverted with the integration of Rebecca’s hallucinations and a supernatural plot twist. The slow build-up of anticipation pays off in a grandiose way, with an unfortunately abrupt ending that had me jumping up and yelling “what the hell just happened?” I was surprised by the sudden direction the film took, but on my second viewing, I realized certain clues were given throughout the film to set up for the final chapter, some more subtle than others. The most obvious clue is the title Charismata: the plural of charisma, meaning charm, or in theology, a spiritual gift. The second is when Sweet quotes Einstein— “Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous”— in response to his connection to the murders. And finally, there’s the posters plastered around London advertising the play Faust, the medieval legend of a doctor who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for knowledge and power.
Charismata will have you guessing until the very end, but your confusion will be eased by the stylish use of colorful light, especially in Rebecca’s dream sequences. For an independent film, the special effects are superb and the corpses look almost too realistic. Sarah Beck Mather shines as Rebecca, having the look of a woman who is both mentally-disturbed and tired of living in a man’s world. Her partnership with Andonis Anthony as Detective Smith creates a good dynamic, and the two work well off of each other. On the topic of partnerships, this is not the first time that writers and directors Andy Collier and Tor Mian have collaborated, nor will it be their last, as they are joining forces once again in their upcoming project Perpetual, which starts filming next year. They have a clear vision of what they want and an itch to pump out more bloody whodunits.
Charismata had its Midwestern Premiere at this year’s Cinepocalypse.

The Crown stars spotted filming together as William and Kate
The actors who play the Prince and Princess of Wales as university students in The Crown have been spotted filming together in St Andrews.
Ed McVey and Meg Bellamy were being filmed as William and Kate in the Fife seaside town on Friday.
Bellamy was dressed in clothes that would not have been out of place in the early 2000s – when the couple attended the university – including bootcut jeans with a pleated leather belt, and high-heeled suede boots.
She was carrying a book entitled First Steps In Academic Writing.
The new series of the Netflix drama will feature William’s time at the university, where in 2001 he met Kate Middleton, who he would marry a decade later in Westminster Abbey.
Other stars who have been spotted in St Andrews include Dominic West, who is playing William’s father Charles.
William and Kate graduated in 2005 and briefly split in 2007, but they later got back together and William proposed in 2010.
The couple married in 2011 and have three children, George, Charlotte and Louis.
The sixth series of The Crown is expected to air later this year, and is the first to have been produced following the death of the Queen last September.
It will follow events from the late 1990s until the early 2000s, including the death of William’s mother Diana.
In the series, Elizabeth Debicki will reprise her role as Diana, with Imelda Staunton continuing as the Queen and Jonathan Pryce as the Duke of Edinburgh.The last series chronicled the divorce of Charles and Diana.
It was due to end after the fifth series, but the show’s creator and writer Peter Morgan later said it would be extended to a sixth.

Doc News: John Steinbeck, Hilary Swank, “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed”, Muhammad
– An exploratory documentary that would make Andre Bazin proud: an adaptation of John Steinbeck‘s non-fiction book “The Log from the Sea of Cortez” has begun from producer Robert Kanter, who has just acquired the rights. The plan is to recreate, as in somewhat reenact, Steinbeck’s six-week scientific exploration of the Sea of Cortez with marine biologist Ed Ricketts in 1940. Filming will start next year and will have a sort of environmental agenda. The doc can’t be entirely faithful, obviously, and Kanter aims to present how the flora and fauna have changed in the past 72 years. He also states that he hopes to attract a perfectly fitting actor to narrate the finished work. For more info, see the press release here.

Essays On Of Mice And Men George Killing Lennie
George’s decision to kill Lennie at the end of John Steinbeck’s novel Of Mice and Men has been the subject of much debate. Some critics argue that George was justified in his actions, while others believe that he could have found another solution.
There is no doubt that George was faced with a difficult situation. Lennie had accidentally killed two people and was likely to do so again. If George did not kill him, Lennie would be killed by someone else or put in a mental institution.
However, some critics argue that George could have found another solution. He could have taken Lennie away from the ranch and hidden him somewhere. This would have been a difficult task, but it may have been the best thing for both George and Lennie in the long run.
In the novel Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck, George Milton faces an extremely challenging circumstance and decision. George Milton kills Lennie Smalls, his traveling companion for years, as a result of being pushed to do so. For his own benefit, George is compelled to kill Lennie. It’s debatable that killing Lennie was motivated by selfish reasons; but he was his family and friend. He would never take such action for personal interest.
Lennie was a burden to George but he loved him, making the decision even harder. The Great Depression made things worse for everyone, especially those without family or friends. George had to make a split-second decision that would change his life forever.
He chose to kill Lennie to end his pain and suffering, and for that, George will always be remembered.
Lennie was a decent guy who never intended to cause anyone any harm. He’d always wind up in trouble or get into “bad behavior.” George gets irritated when Lennie fills these roles, since he believes Lennie would have accomplished more if he didn’t hold him back. Because Lennie scared a woman away while the men were working in Weed, for example, George ordered them to hide in an irrigation ditch overnight.
This instance made George so mad that he threw a rock at Lennie and told him off. Even though Lennie didn’t mean any harm, his actions often put George in tough situations. By the end of the novel, George has had enough of Lennie’s antics and decides to kill him.
While some people may argue that George was too harsh in his decision, it’s important to remember the time period in which the story takes place. The Great Depression was a difficult time for everyone, and George probably felt like he had no other choice. In addition, Lennie had just killed Curley’s wife, and there was a possibility that he would be sent to prison or even executed. George didn’t want his friend to go through that, so he decided to kill him himself.
Some people may disagree with George’s decision, but it’s important to remember the context of the situation. Given the time period and the circumstances, George probably felt like he had no other choice.
George clutched onto her dress, giving the impression that he was attempting to harm her. Lennie, of course, wasn’t trying to hurt anyone; he just liked stroking soft things. All of George’s difficulties would suggest that Mr. Milton wanted Lennie dead. This was not the case at all. George regarded Lennie as if he were family, and their pact with Clara Lennie’s Aunt is what brought them together.
When Lennie is happy, George is happy. When Lennie gets into trouble, George tries to fix it. It would be easier for everyone if George just let Lennie die in his sleep, but that’s not what family does. They stick together through the good and bad times.
Lennie’s disability caused a lot of problems for George. He was always having to watch out for him and make sure he didn’t do anything too stupid. This meant that they couldn’t get jobs that required them to be on their own for too long or else something bad would happen. They had to move around a lot and could never really settle down anywhere. Even though it was a lot of work, George stuck with Lennie because he had made a promise to Aunt Clara.
When Curley’s wife started flirting with Lennie, George knew that it would be trouble. He told Lennie to stay away from her, but he just couldn’t help himself. When she came into the barn and started talking to him, he got too excited and accidentally killed her. This was the final straw for George. He knew that if they were found out, they would both be in a lot of trouble. The only way to protect Lennie was to kill him before anyone else could.
It’s not an easy decision to make, but sometimes it’s necessary. When faced with the prospect of a life on the run or certain death, George chose to end Lennie’s life quickly and painlessly. It was the best thing he could do for his friend and family member.
The contrast between George and Lennie becomes apparent in their conversation about their dream. “That’s why,” Lennie remarks when George describes how he felt secure for the first time since he was a kid (14). At the end of the story, George is given only two options: allow Lennie to be tortured and murdered by the other men, or kill him himself…a quick and painless death.
George chooses the latter because he knows that it is what Lennie would want. George’s decision to kill Lennie was not an easy one, but it was the best choice given the situation. By taking matters into his own hands, George ensured that Lennie would not suffer needlessly at the hands of others. This act of mercy ultimately shows us the true nature of George’s character.
Of course, he does not want Lennie to suffer, so he does it on his own. And it is quite apparent that it was not simple. The passage from the novel “George raised the gun and his hand shook , and he lowered his arm to the ground again” (105) further supports this. George’s trembling hand attests to how tough it was for him to let go of a long time buddy. Slim is one of the few people who understands their connection.
Slim says, “ I think maybe he had to. I reckon he had to. We all got to have somethin’ to ast us before we go on. He done the best thing. Tell you what, Lennie…You ain’t never gonna know how it was. Ain’t nobody never knows how it is between a man an’ his friend.”(106) In other words, everyone needs someone or something in their life that reminds them of their purpose for living. For George, that person was Lennie. And by killing Lennie, he felt as if he were doing him a favor- freeing him from a cruel world that would only bring him pain and suffering.
Some might argue that George did not have to kill Lennie. He could have simply taken him back to the farm and let him live out his days there. But we have to remember the time period in which this story takes place- The Great Depression. People were struggling just to get by and life was extremely difficult. There were no safety nets or social programs in place to help those in need. So, in a way, George was actually being merciful by putting an end to Lennie’s life before things got too tough for him.

Is Free Trade Fair
There is no simple answer to the question “is free trade fair?” because there are many factors to consider. Some people argue that free trade is essential for global economic growth, while others contend that it can lead to exploitation and unfair working conditions.
On the one hand, proponents of free trade say that it allows countries to specialize in producing goods and services that they are good at, leading to more efficient production and lower prices for consumers. They also argue that free trade fosters competition, which spurs innovation and drives down costs.
On the other hand, critics of free trade say that it can lead to a race to the bottom in terms of wages and working conditions. They also argue that free trade can concentrate power in the hands of large multinational corporations, who can use their economic clout to influence government policy.
So, ultimately, the question of whether free trade is fair depends on your perspective. However, there are some factors that everyone can agree on, such as the importance of enforcing labor and environmental standards, which can help to level the playing field and make sure that workers and communities are not being exploited.
“Free trade,” “fair trade,” and other such items that are branded as “free trade” can be found everywhere. Is free trade the same as fair trade? When these words are used to talk about commerce, they have a very strong connotation. I’ll try to explain the distinctions between free and fairtrade in this essay, how they may overlap, and what each system has to offer.
The first thing we need to do is establish what each term means. Free trade, according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, is “trade between countries without government restrictions or tariffs.”1 Fair trade, on the other hand, is defined as “trade that is conducted in a way that is considered to be ethically and socially just and that often involves sustainable development.” As you can see, there are some distinct differences between the two terms.
Free trade is based on the idea of laissez faire capitalism, which is an economic system in which businesses operate with little or no government regulation. The theory behind free trade is that it will produce the most efficient allocation of resources and lead to the greatest economic growth.3 Critics of free trade argue that it can lead to exploitation of workers, environmental degradation, and a race to the bottom in terms of wages and working conditions.
Fair trade, on the other hand, is based on the idea of social justice. The goal of fair trade is to create better trading conditions and develop relationships that are based on equality and respect. Fair trade often involves supporting small farmers and producers in developing countries.5 Critics of fair trade argue that it is protectionist and creates artificial barriers to trade.
Both buyer and seller benefit from deliberate trade. The profits resulting from trade are known as trading gains. A well-functioning society uses human, natural, and financial resources in an efficient way to maximize the benefits of commerce. These benefits are redistributed by political mechanisms in order to promote or limit equity.
In a market economy, voluntary exchange of property and services among consenting adults is the norm. Both buyers and sellers benefit from trade. The benefits derived by each party exceed the costs they incur. The combined total of these benefits—the gains from trade—is greater than zero.
An efficient society uses its resources wisely to maximize the combined gains from trade. Achieving this goal requires that three conditions be met: (1) all relevant information must be available to both buyers and sellers, (2) there must be freedom of choice, and (3) there must be competition among sellers. If any of these three conditions is not met, the gains from trade may be reduced or even vanish altogether.
Political processes, such as taxation, can and do redistribute the gains from trade. Some of the gains may be used to promote equity—for example, by providing public goods or income transfers to those who are worse off. Other policies may be aimed at reducing trade imbalances or preventing firms from engaging in monopolistic or other anticompetitive practices that reduce the gains from trade.
The main arguments in favor of free trade are economic. Free trade is seen as a way to increase economic efficiency and productivity, and consequently living standards. When countries specialize in the production of goods and services for which they have a comparative advantage and then engage in international trade, they can produce more goods and services than if each country tried to produce everything itself. Moreover, free trade is believed to lead to lower prices for consumers, more choices, and increased competition that incentivizes firms to innovate and become more efficient.
The main arguments against free trade are also economic. Critics argue that free trade can hurt domestic industries and workers by exposing them to international competition. They may also point to specific cases where they believe free trade agreements have failed or led to undesirable outcomes. In addition, some argue that free trade can harm the environment and contribute to global inequality.
At its heart, the debate over free trade is a debate over economics. Proponents of free trade argue that it leads to greater efficiency and higher living standards, while opponents argue that it hurts domestic industries and workers. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to support free trade depends on one’s assessment of the costs and benefits.
There are a number of different ways to think about the costs and benefits of free trade. One common approach is to focus on the effects of free trade on specific industries or groups of workers. Another approach is to consider the overall economic efficiency of free trade. A third approach is to think about the distributional effects of free trade—that is, how the gains and losses from trade are distributed across society.
The debate over free trade can be quite technical, and there is a great deal of disagreement among economists about the best way to assess the costs and benefits. However, there are some basic principles that can help to clarify the debate.
First, it is important to remember that trade can make everyone better off. The gains from trade are not zero-sum—that is, one person’s gain does not come at the expense of another person’s loss. When two countries trade with each other, both countries can end up better off.
Second, it is also important to remember that trade can lead to economic dislocation. Some workers and industries may be hurt by increased competition from imports. However, this does not mean that free trade is always bad for workers. Trade can also create new opportunities for workers—for example, by opening up new export markets. Moreover, even if some workers are hurt in the short run by increased competition, they may be better off in the long run as they adjust to the new economic realities.
Third, it is important to consider how the gains from trade are distributed across society. The benefits of free trade may not be equally shared among all members of society. For example, skilled workers may benefit more than unskilled workers. This does not mean that free trade is necessarily bad for those who lose out, but it is important to be aware of the distributional effects.
Fourth, it is important to think about the environment. Free trade can lead to increased pollution and environmental degradation if firms relocate to countries with weaker environmental regulations. However, free trade can also lead to increased environmental protection if it leads to greater economic growth and prosperity.

Create a Research Paper
You have two part to this assignment. Business organizations often rely on formal presentations to consult, sell ideas, inform stakeholders, and communicate to groups. To accomplish the goal of communicating and selling ideas, research helps presenters develop presentations useful to others. This assignment is in two parts. The first part is an essay and the second part is a PowerPoint presentation summarizing the content of the essay
Part 1: Create a Research Paper
An important skill in writing is the ability to reflect on reading material and provide an integrated report providing information from multiple authors. For Part I, develop a research paper that demonstrates synthesis of 15-20 scholarly articles on the topic selected in Week 4. You should start your paper by identifying a research problem that you have identified in your readings. Your paper should reflect critical synthesis of:
1) What researchers have concluded regarding the problem, related issues, and potential resolutions, and 2) What is still not known about the problem and its potential resolution. The latter reflect gaps in the literature, such as understudied populations, missing theoretical foundations, contributing factors that have not been explored well, or other unknowns that could help shed more light on the topic. Such gaps are important to identify because they are used as a starting point for new research. Note that an outline of the material will make it easier to develop the essay. From the outline, a draft can be developed and reviewed. During the review, you can ensure all elements of the topic are covered. The essay should be comprehensive and concise. Be sure to have citations for all assertions. Length: 5-7 pages Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect an APA standard. Resources: Brown, K. G., & Barton, D. J. (n.d.). Brief guide to business writing.
