Creatures with human faces - whether the result of evolution or the inventive efforts of mankind - have fascinated us from time immemorial. Here are five creatures that display amusing, in some cases disturbing, human features. 1) Samurai Beetle This beetle from Japan is doubly interesting in that it shows a different face depending on which direction it's viewed from. Look from behind and you're reminded of a bearded sage. From the front, the image is even more remarkable - a samurai's face, right down to the distinctive traditional hairstyle! Of course, evolution didn't set out to give the beetle markings that resemble a human face - after all, the beetle was probably around long before human beings were. Many creatures - and insects especially - have evolved complex and elaborate recognition patterns that are intended to ward off predators. Often these patterns include contrasting eye spots... then our imaginative minds do the rest by using other features around the eye-spots to approximate a human face. Tis colorful Japanese beetle is a prime example! (human-faced beetle via Asahi) 2) Death's Head Hawk Moth Look familiar? No? C'mon, "Silence of the Lambs"? Yep, that's it - the image of the aptly named Death's Head Hawk Moth over Jodie Foster's precious lips on the movie poster is a uniquely disturbing image. Once again, nature has devised a fear-inducing pattern to deter bigger critters from making a meal of this moth. The more effective the pattern, the more moths survive to beget the next generation. Given enough time (time being nature's greatest tool), the moths will sport scarier and scarier faces on their backs. My next question is, why do WE find the Death's Head Hawk Moth so disturbing? Anyone hungry? (human-faced moth via Skull A Day) 3) Heike Crab These curious crabs are found in Japan, near where one of the greatest sea battles of Japanese history occurred. In the year 1185, the forces of the warring Heike and Genji clans fought the Battle of Dannoura. The Heike were defeated, dozens of their ships were sunk and hundreds of heavily armored warriors lost their lives in the unforgiving sea. People who found these distinctive little crabs on the shore reasoned that they embodied the souls of the lost Heike soldiers. As you can see, the markings and protuberances on the backs of the crabs look astonishingly like classic samurai faces! The late Carl Sagan suggested that humans have had a significant effect on both the look and the prevalence of these human-faced crabs. Sagan theorizes that local fisherman threw back the most prominently human-featured crabs, thus skewing natural selection towards that exact attribute. An early form of selective breeding, perhaps? (human-faced crab via Kirainet) 4) Human-faced Carp Fish Ornamental carp, also known as "koi", are bred in both Japan and Korea for collectors. These koi, though, look like they were bred on the Island of Doctor Moreau! I wonder if Monty Python know about these weird human-faced fish when they were creating the famous fish tank scene from their classic film,"The Meaning of Life"? The human-faced carp are definitely products of selective breeding by humans. Generations of fish were bred to emphasive their "human" features, most notably their forward-facing eyes. These features would likely be a disadvantage in the wild - but then, these particular fish aren't going anywhere near the wild anytime soon. The so-called "Human Face Fish" are hybrids of common carp and leather carp. The fish rather large - about 32 inches long - and it's said that their heads have begun to take on a more human look as time goes by! When will it end? You sure you want these guys in your garden pond, giving you dirty looks every time you walk by? (human-faced fish via Pet Fish Talk) Here's a video from Korean TV featuring the freaky fish: 5) Skull Back Spider Gee, aren't you glad this li'l critter is just a fraction of an inch long? Even so, you wouldn't want to be fly caught in THIS guy's web... what am I saying, you wouldn't want to be a fly caught in ANY spider's web! Really now, this bug seriously creeps me out. The bloated abdomen of the sickly white (am I overdoing it?) crab spider bears an uncanny resemblance to a human skull. I don't know what it's called or where it's from, I just don't want to ever see it again - but I will, in my nightmares. (human-faced spider via Spring Creek Forest) And there you have it, straight from one over-active imagination to another, human-faced creatures... pleasant dreams!

Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption Memoir reveals hidden life of Hamid Zaher Hamid Zaher is a young Afghan pharmacist, now living in Toronto in Canada. He has defied Afghan tradition by writing a searingly honest memoir about what it was like to be a gay man in Afghanistan. The book has never been published in his home country, where homosexuality is a criminal offence punishable by death. Hamid Zaher says that he's always known that he was different. Growing up in village in the Afghan countryside in the early 1980s, he describes his childhood as a bitterly unhappy time when he was forced to hide his true feelings. "When I was growing up I was sometimes attracted to men," Hamid told the BBC. "But I didn't really understand my sexual orientation until I was 15 years old." Hamid says that as a child he always felt more comfortable playing with the girls in his village. "I wanted to pretend that I wasn't gay," he says. "But it wasn't true, I was living behind a mask." Eventually what Hamid calls his "feminine traits" began to attract negative comments from friends and relatives. Marriage pressure "They started calling me Hamida, the feminine form of my name and 'Izak', a colloquial term for someone who is neither male nor female," he says. Throughout his student years, Hamid kept quiet about his sexual orientation, fearing not just the stigma but the very real threat that he could be prosecuted and even sentenced to death for being a gay man. From "It is your enemy who is dock-tailed" by Hamid Zaher Whenever I danced in parties, all men, young and old, would laugh at me and say, "Wow ! he dances exactly like a girl !" Their laughter would sadden me. I would go and sit in a corner and would no longer dance… I lost my spirit and confidence day by day. I became a coward and was isolated. Things came to a head when he was 25 and his mother tried to pressure him into getting married. Unwilling to go through with it, he left the country, going first to Pakistan, then to Iran and Turkey, before eventually settling permanently in Canada in 2008. "It's not possible to be openly gay in Afghanistan," he added. "I would have been killed by my relatives, let alone the government." Hamid's book, entitled "It is your enemy who is dock-tailed", is an impassioned and defiant attack on the conservative traditions and prejudices which he says made it impossible for him to carry on living in his home country. As he writes in his book, the title is an oblique reference to an old Arabic expression which refers to a man without a son as being "dock-tailed" or without any descendants. "I wrote the book because our rights have been denied," he says. "I don't want other generations of my country to be afraid of their sexualities." Wall of silence Although segregation between the sexes means that homosexual activity in private is not unknown in Afghanistan, there is no publicly visible gay community whatsoever. Professor Dawood Rawish, a sociologist from Kabul University, says it is impossible to know how many gay Afghans there are because people are just too scared to take the risk of coming out. Image caption Hamid says living in Canada has given him the chance at a happier life "This is a big stigma in Afghanistan," he told the BBC. "People see it as an immoral act... According to the law those involved could be punished by death." The Persian version of Hamid's book, which was published in 2009, has been met with a wall of silence in Afghanistan. Although it was impossible for him to distribute hard copies inside the country, Hamid made the book available online free of charge. But such is the taboo that almost no-one wants to comment or even to acknowledge that they've read it. Afghan human rights officials, contacted by the BBC, refused to comment on whether gay Afghans ever appeal to them for help. "Afghanistan is a no-go area for gays," said a human rights activist who asked not be named. "Hamid's revelation is revolutionary in today's Afghanistan." But Hamid's openness has come at a cost. His family have disowned him and he no longer has any contact with any of them. "My brothers asked me not to publish the book," he says. "But, I didn't want to suppress my feelings any more. I wanted to be the first voice of Afghan gays." Hamid says the estrangement from his family is a price worth paying. "I have fulfilled a responsibility and of course living in Canada provided me with that chance. I was ready to die for it, but not to hide it anymore," he said. "I am who I am. I am happy to be living a life I want, not what my family and the society expect me to live."	positive

Google’s approach to software increasingly centers around personalized recommendations and assistance. It will filter your email and surface only the messages you need to see, pop up alerts if your train line goes out of service, and even chat with you about the latest scores and trades from your favorite sports team. Today that same approach comes to Google’s music service, Google Play, which is being revamped to focus on contextual recommendations. Using machine learning and clues like location, activity, and weather, the app tries to serve up a smorgasbord of playlists that will match your mood and moment. "At a high level, Google’s mission is to make the world of information really accessible and useful to people," said Elias Roman, the lead product manager for Google Play Music. Google Now might do that by suggesting you leave for the airport early to avoid bad traffic on the highway. "There is a role for Google to play in music that is similar." Google Now for music Every time you open the app, it completely refreshes what you see, trying to serve the perfect selection. Tapping the app on Saturday night I got options for a cocktail party playlist and some serious dancehall jams. When I opened it again late Sunday afternoon, I got offered a playlist for relaxing at home and another for cooking dinner. The interface, based on cards, feels a lot like Google Now, and so does the approach to just-in-time doses of pertinent information, in this case the tunes you need. I am not a Google Play user by habit, so the service doesn’t have a ton of information about me. If it did, the machine learning algorithms would try and get even more specific, putting a workout playlist in front of me when it sees my location matches the gym I visit every week, and swapping that out to show me a playlist for focusing when my location matches my office. If I traveled to a new country for the first time, it would pick up on this, and offer music to accompany my adventure or get me into the swing of local culture. Google Play Music relies on a diverse range of datasets connected to my Google account: from search history, to maps, to YouTube, and beyond. I’m a big fan of Spotify and the products it has put forward in the last year around discovery. But while Discover Weekly and Release Radar have introduced me to a lot of new music I love, they aren’t meant to match a certain mood or activity. They show up every Monday and Friday morning, and then they stay static until they refresh seven days later. Spotify has playlists for different moods, but they aren’t refreshed nearly as often and don’t have as much context about exactly where I am or what I’m doing to draw on. Satisfying the moment, not expanding your horizons The team behind Google Play Music came out of Songza, a New York City startup. That company was all about building playlists that matched a certain mood or activity, but users had to tell the app how they were feeling or what they were doing. "I’ve always been interested by the idea, is there a way to scale a personal DJ, someone who follows you around and knows exactly what you want to hear," says Elliott Breece, one of Songza’s co-founders, along with Roman. Google allowed them to achieve that scale by combining Songza’s approach with a vast trove of information on users and powerful machine learning algorithms. It also made it possible to serve up a recommendation without prompting the user to input their current mood or activity. "If you want to use data to improve people’s lives on a daily basis, music is the perfect fit," says Breece. "So many people spend so much time with it every day."	positive
Image: S. Sabawoon / EPA The Russian Foreign Ministry has written an article on its website condemning a Nordic minister declaration that appeared in the Norwegian paper Aftenposten last Thursday. The letter disclosed a March 10 decision to intensify Nordic defence cooperation in the area of joint military exercises, acquisition of defence materiel, intelligence sharing and thwarting cyber attacks. On Friday, Finland's Defence Minister Carl Haglund had said that in his opinion, Nordic security cooperation is one thing and NATO membership is a “totally different matter”. Even so, the Russian Foreign Ministry now says the joint call for increased Nordic defence cooperation is a cause for concern. “Decision-making in this area is without a doubt each state’s sovereign right, but a difference has arisen in the last few years because Nordic defence cooperation has begun to be directed against Russia,” it writes. According to the Ministry, this development violates all of the positive achievements that have been attained by cooperation in the North. “In this context, the greatest concern is over the increasingly strong convergence of Finland and Sweden with NATO, even if these two countries officially seek to be independent of all military unions.” “In place of an open and constructive discourse – on peace in Northern Europe and a solution to the Ukrainian conflict – the principles of confrontation are being foisted on the public opinion of the Nordic countries,” the Ministry writes.	positive

So, I put together a few of my products that I use to achieve my ‘glowing’ skin makeup routine. I use these products mostly when I want that nice glowing look especially in the summer time. Whether you are a pro makeup artist, or just beginning, I promise this is easy peezy! Let me just add, you don’t HAVE to use all of these products or you can swap them out for whatever else you prefer. These are just the products I use & that I LOVE for this kind of look. Hope you like! PRIME– Use whatever primer you prefer for your skin type. This is a very important step especially if you have any ‘problem areas’ & want that more flawless finish. I am using the Smashbox Primer Water to prime & set my makeup after, also. BROWS- Using my Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Definer in the shade soft brown, I fill in any sparse spots using short strokes. You can clean it up using concealer on a flat blush and lining the bottom of the brows with it. Don’t conceal the top of the brows so they can appear more natural. Be sure to brush them after, also. Foundation- Using my Loreal Pro Glow foundation I apply it all over my face using a buffing brush, then I go over it with a damp Beauty Blender for a more natural looking finish. To add more “glow” I use my Sephora Radiant Luminizing Drops in the shade ‘champagne’ & mix it with my foundation! This is a huge step for this glowy look, I wouldn’t skip it 😉 Concealer- Normally, I would use my shape tape concealer if I want a full coverage concealer. But, for this look I’m using my Becca Aqua Luminous Perfecting concealer. Not a full coverage concealer, but great for a more natural look. It is also very lightweight so great for the Summer time, as well. (Apply your concealer in a “V” shape under your eyes, down the bridge of your nose, center of your forehead, cupid’s bow & center of your chin & blend out with your beauty sponge.) Bronzer- I have my Physician’s Formula Butter Bronzer that I’m so obsessed with! Be sure to use whatever bronzer you would like. I usually use this one because it looks so natural and is light, but also very buildable. Apply this across your cheekbones, around the forehead, also be sure to apply it around the jawline and be sure to blend down with your neck. Powder- I realize I didn’t put a picture of a powder, but it’s very important to powder the areas of your face that you concealed! Using either a pressed or loose powder, I usually use my RCMA powder or my Laura Mercier translucent powder. You could skip this step, but expect some creasing to occur. Blush- I usually like to use something more shimmery instead of matte for this look. The Milani Bellissimo Bronze blush is perfect for it, but like I said before feel free to use whatever you are comfortable with! Swipe onto apples of cheek. Highlight- MY favorite part! Using my Laura Gellar ‘Gilded Honey’ highlighter, I just sweep that onto my cheekbones, down the bridge of my nose, cupids bow & just a little on the center of the forehead. (For a more intense highlight, spray the brush with any setting spray.) Eyeshadow- For this look I like to use my Tartelette In Bloom palette because it is very neutral with some matte and shimmery shades. Another palette I would recommend for this look is the Too Faced Chocolate palette! As long as you have a matte and a shimmer you are okay. I apply the shade ‘smarty pants’ (a soft brown matte) deep in the crease all the way towards the inner corner. Then I apply ‘jetsetter’ (a medium brown toned matte) in the crease as well, blending both colors out. Then I apply ‘funny girl’ (a shimmery champagne shade) all over the lid & also in the inner corners of the eyes to give it a little POP! Eyeliner- Using any deep brown liner, simply apply it on your waterline & smoke it out using a fluffy brush. I love the Rimmel London Scandaleyes liner. Mascara- Apply mascara to your upper and bottom lashes, apply falsies if you’d like to complete the look. Lipgloss- With this look I love a natural looking nude gloss. ‘Undressed’ from Anastasia Beverly Hills is my Go TO! Then spray your face with primer & you are all done! Shine on babe! This is the completed look! Hope it was easy enough to follow! Follow my blog for more makeup looks to come! XO, Vee	positive

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) was against government shutdowns before she was for them. Last year, she railed against Republicans and said they wanted to shut down the government in order to prevent food inspections, allow lead into children’s toys manufactured in China, and deform babies through their mothers’ use of unsafe morning sickness pills. Seriously, she said that: You’d think that they believe that the government that functions best is a government that doesn’t function at all. So far, they haven’t ended government, but they have achieved the next best thing: shutting the government down. But behind all the slogans of the Tea Party and all the thinly veiled calls for anarchy in Washington, behind all that, there’s a reality. The American people don’t want the extremist Republican’s bizarre vision of a future without government. They don’t support it. Why? Because the American people know that without government, we would no longer be a great nation with a bright future. The American people know that government matters. The anarchy gang is quick to malign government, but when was the last time anyone called for regulators to go easier on companies that put lead in children’s toys? Or for food inspectors to stop checking whether the meat in our grocery stores is crawling with deadly bacteria? Or for the FDA to ignore whether morning sickness drugs will cause horrible deformities in little babies? We never hear that, not from political leaders in Washington and not from the American people. In fact, whenever the anarchy gang makes headway in their efforts to damage our government, the opposite happens. After the sequester kicked in, Republicans immediately turned around and called on us to protect funding for our national defense and keep the air traffic controllers on the job. And now that the House Republicans have shut down the government, holding the country hostage because of some imaginary health care bogeyman, Republicans almost immediately turned around and called on us to start re-opening parts of our government. Why did they do this? Because the bogeyman government is like the bogeyman under the bed. It’s not real. It doesn’t exist. What is real, what does exist, are all those specific and important things that we as Americans have chosen to do together through our government. In our democracy, government is not some make-believe thing that has an independent will of its own. In our democracy, government is just how we describe the things that we the people have already decided to do together. My, my, my, how things have changed. Now Warren is suddenly a big fan of government shutdowns. She’s such a big fan that she’s trying to orchestrate one all by herself: Congress shouldn't support the budget package until the Wall Street giveaway is removed. Watch & share ASAP: http://t.co/ZDr5rIhppe Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) December 10, 2014 Weird. I was told last year that threatening to block a spending bill over one provision was tantamount to treason. I was told that hostage-taking during the budget negotiation process was downright un-American. Warren’s not the only who has magically gone from a government shutdown opponent to a staunch shutdown proponent. The Beutler Republic‘s Brian Beutler is also suddenly a big fan: Beutler’s newfound shutdown love is especially hilarious given this treatment he gave the notion just a few months ago, before Facebook roommate Chris Hughes orchestrated his very own TNR shutdown: If the current disarray within Democratic ranks is any indication of how life will be for liberals during Obama’s lame duck presidency, we’re all in for quite a show. Let’s just hope that hypocrisy-induced flip-flop whiplash is a pre-existing condition covered by Obamacare.	positive
Image copyright AFP Image caption "Galamsey" is apparently a corruption of "gather and sell" In our series of letters from African journalists, veteran Ghanaian journalist Elizabeth Ohene explains why the notoriety of a new word spells problems for the nation. Every time we create a new word to describe a phenomenon here in Ghana, you can be sure we are in trouble. The newly popular word, "galamsey", is not exactly new but it was not a word in everyday use either. Today it is a word that dominates everything; newspapers, the radio, television and every conversation. A war has been declared against "galamsey". People have been demonstrating against "galamsey". There is of course #SayNoToGalamsey. But what does "galamsey" mean? It means the illegal small-scale mining of gold. It also means moonlighting, but that is another story. Golden stool The word, as I understand it, has been in use since the first English-speakers became involved in mining the huge gold deposits in what is now Ghana. The word entered our lexicon in the 1920s when the first laws about gold mining were made during the colonial period. Image copyright AFP Image caption Ghana has a long history of gold mining "Galamsey", apparently is a corruption of "gather and sell", which was the description of the traditional method of mining for gold made by the first foreign big-scale miners. The country of my birth, Ghana, used to be known as Gold Coast, and for a good reason - there is a lot of gold in the bowels of our land. Indeed often, you need not go all the way into the bowels of the earth, the gold can be found just beneath the surface. For centuries, we dug for gold and the mineral features in all of our cultural activities. The king of the Asantes sits on a solid golden stool. No self-respecting young man can get married without giving a set of gold jewellery to his bride. But the digging for gold was an activity undertaken by few people and there were strict rules about the care of the environment. Rivers were sacred and you treated them with respect. High-tech Anybody who follows the news in Ghana would know that we have a full-scale crisis on our hands as a result of "galamsey". It is no longer "small-scale" - the digging is no longer done with pickaxes and hoes and we no longer wash the dug-up earth and river sediments with the water from the rivers to get gold. Image copyright AFP Image caption Ghana also has an industrial-scale gold mining sector There has also been an influx of foreigners who have changed "galamsey" from the one-time romantic activity to a frighteningly brutal undertaking. "Galamseyers", as I have heard them called, now have armed guards and do not hesitate to use guns when threatened. We have gone high-tech and graduated to earth-moving equipment and use arsenic and mercury to get the gold. The result is that almost all our water bodies have been polluted and our forests have been denuded. Someone suggested that we might run out of safe water by 2030 if things continue as they are currently. Almost all our rivers have gone a funny colour and the water company is struggling with the purification systems as the waters are alarmingly polluted. Holding their nerve Suddenly there is widespread panic and everybody is publicly against "galamsey". It probably has something to do with the arrival of a new government that is displaying the will to do something about the problem. The new Minister of Lands and Mineral Resources, John-Peter Amewu, is out there touring the sites and has put a ban on all small-scale mining activity, with or without licences. Image copyright AFP Image caption The rivers have gone a funny colour Some very powerful and wealthy people find themselves under unaccustomed pressure and there are open threats that the government will be punished at the next election if the war against "galamsey" persists. So far, President Nana Akufo-Addo and Mr Amewu are holding their nerve and the rest of us are holding our breaths while cheering them on. And then there was 'kalabule' The last time there was such a public outcry against something in Ghana that I remember was in the 1970s and again we found a special word for it. Back then the word that came into popular use was "kalabule". Elizabeth Ohene: Image copyright Elizabeth Ohene I am praying that the current war against "galamsey" succeeds and we reclaim our lands, water bodies and forests It was an all-purpose word that covered everything that was wrong with our lives then. It was a noun, as in: "She was engaged in 'kalabule'", it was an adjective, as in: "You are a 'kalabule' man", and it was an interjection, as in: "Oh 'kalabule'!" "Kalabule" meant fraud, it meant trying to make excessive profits, and it meant using political clout to gain unfair advantage. Market women were said to be engaged in "kalabule", and generally seen as villains as they were accused of hoarding goods to create artificial shortages to make excessive profits. Eventually, a violent military coup d'état was staged to get rid of "kalabule". The most popular market in the city was blown into smithereens to get rid of "kalabule", and top government officials were executed for being "kalabule kings". I am not quite sure when the word "kalabule" disappeared from the Ghanaian lexicon, but it is a word that many young people would not even understand today, let alone use in conversation. I am praying that the current war against "galamsey" succeeds and we reclaim our lands, water bodies and forests. Otherwise, when the next generation moves on to find another word to describe another phenomenon, the Ghana they would be living in would be a desert and they might be importing water to drink. There probably would be no gold then and there would be no need for "galamsey".

To compensate, the government often relies on the private sector to serve as an intermediary abroad. India’s two leading business groups — C.I.I. (the Confederation of Indian Industry) and Ficci (the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry) — now have offices around the world and sponsor informal diplomatic dialogues between India and countries like Japan, China, Singapore and the United States. As India’s growing economy demands more natural resources, its business leaders have led the country on an aggressive push into Africa and South America. Last year, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh toured Africa, pledging aid and good will in a high-level trip encouraged by an Indian private sector competing with China for resources on the African continent. “These are places that are incredibly important to India, but the Indian state doesn’t have the resources to maintain a major presence,” said Ashley J. Tellis, a former American diplomat who served in India. “Business has really become the de facto substitute for Indian diplomatic engagement. And that works out nicely for India.” India, a nation of 1.2 billion people, has about 800 diplomats serving in 162 missions and posts around the world. The United States, by comparison, has a diplomatic corps of more than 11,000. Even tiny Singapore surpasses India, with 847 foreign service officers. In a background interview last year, a senior Indian official agreed that the country’s diplomatic corps was far too small to adequately represent India’s global interests. An expansion and hiring program is under way, but the process remains tediously slow; as a result, India’s Ministry of External Affairs is often forced to borrow bureaucrats from other ministries. Or, the senior official said, the ministry sometimes leans on the private sector. “The presence of Indian corporations, both public and private, does help to expand our presence,” the official said. “Our footprint will also expand through the private sector.” Photo Cautious Optimism Mr. Kumar last visited Lahore in November 2008, at a moment of cautious optimism. Trained as an economist, Mr. Kumar, who was then leading an Indian research group, met with members of a Pakistani research group to discuss their nations’ relationship amid speculation that Mr. Singh, the Indian prime minister, would soon make a historic visit to Pakistan. Advertisement Continue reading the main story Less than two weeks later, militants trained in Pakistan assaulted Mumbai in an audacious and vicious terrorist attack, killing at least 163 people and enraging the Indian public. Any chance of a diplomatic breakthrough was shattered as diplomats worked to avert a military confrontation. By 2010, Mr. Kumar had joined Ficci, the Indian business group, with an agenda of expanding the group’s influence in India’s neighborhood and creating a fluid and interconnected South Asian market. He began traveling to Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal, where the prime minister and other top leaders received him. “More and more, economics and commerce are seen as the primary drivers of international relations, which they were not in South Asia until very recently,” said Mr. Kumar, who is now Ficci’s secretary general. To a large degree, Mr. Kumar has been playing catch-up. For more than a decade, the other major Indian business group, C.I.I., has operated as one of the most influential interlocutors of Indian foreign policy, helping to facilitate closer Indian ties with Japan, Singapore and, most important, the United States. In 2001, C.I.I. partnered with the United States-based Aspen Institute to sponsor a meeting between Indian and American “thought” leaders in the Indian city of Udaipur. The United States and India, after decades of frosty relations, had suddenly warmed up to each other, especially after a visit to India by Bill Clinton. But neither side knew how to move forward. The Udaipur meeting brought together Henry A. Kissinger, the former national security adviser Brent Scowcroft, the Harvard scholar Joseph S. Nye Jr. and others on the American side to meet with an Indian delegation that included the industrialist Ratan N. Tata and the influential diplomat Naresh Chandra.

The dialogue went into: ‘What else can we do? How can we build trust between the two countries?’ There was only mistrust after 50 years.” Since then, the C.I.I. has sponsored 14 more exchanges in a United States-India relationship that, if still fractious at times, is fundamentally changed. The two countries are now strategic partners, with growing cooperation on defense issues where one had not existed before. Today, India buys American military hardware and participates in joint exercises with the United States. The most dramatic concept borne of that initial meeting between the two countries involved cooperation on nuclear energy, in what eventually became the landmark United States-India Civil Nuclear Agreement. The deal was criticized in both countries, but it was eventually approved, if still not fully carried out. Advertisement Continue reading the main story In 2008, when the United States Congress threatened to vote down the measure, India’s government got lobbying support from its most potent ally: the Indian private sector, which included Indian-Americans who had prospered in business, science and technology in the United States and had developed one of the most influential lobbies in Washington. Ashok Malik, a journalist who was one of the writers of an academic analysis of India’s private sector diplomacy, said the influence of Indian business is evident beyond the changed relationship with the United States. In 2005, President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela was greeted with a big reception in New Delhi at a time when Indian leftists were part of the coalition government. Two years later, with the leftists no longer in the coalition, India’s president skipped Venezuela on a tour of South America, instead stopping in Chile and Argentina, where Indian corporations had business interests. Photo Mr. Malik said Indian diplomats were now trained to consider business development as a primary part of their job. “Before, commerce was beneath public policy,” he said. “Now they are talking individual deals.” Business has also become a primary conduit for increasing India’s footprint in East Asia, China’s backyard. Singapore, Japan, Taiwan and Australia have each increased business ties, partly as a strategy to draw closer diplomatically to India and possibly nurture a counterbalance to China. At the same time, the C.I.I. is quietly sponsoring yet another dialogue, this time with China itself. “We are slowly trying to see if there can be some building of trust with China,” Mr. Das said in an interview last year. “It is much more difficult than with the Americans.” At the convention center in Lahore in February, Pakistani soldiers were posted everywhere, assault rifles in full view as they awaited the arrival of Indian delegation. Mr. Kumar had come two days early, to open the trade booths, but now the Indian commerce minister, Anand Sharma, was arriving with his Pakistani counterpart, as well as the Indian trade delegation. Security was a concern. A careful reconciliation between India and Pakistan has been under way since July 2011, eight months after the Mumbai attacks, with efforts being made on both sides of the border. Mr. Sharma’s visit was a significant gesture: he was the first Indian commerce minister ever to make an official visit to Pakistan, though few people expected any breakthroughs. “I see it as a symbolic act, a vaccination against the right-wing groups who will oppose India,” Mr. Kumar said of the trade show and Mr. Sharma’s visit. “If this is successful, the next one can be bigger.” Advertisement Continue reading the main story Pakistan is easily India’s toughest foreign policy challenge, with hard-liners on both sides showing little desire to compromise, yet Mr. Kumar believes progress is possible because the middle class in both countries wants to ease hostilities and focus on economic growth. Mr. Malik noted that the rise of India’s middle class, as well as the growing domestic influence of the private sector, has created a quiet constituency for easing hostilities with Pakistan. “The growth phenomenon has made the Indian middle class less tolerant of adventurism, lawlessness and war,” he said. “It is still worried about terrorism. But it doesn’t want to fight wars. It has other things to do.” A Cold War Legacy India’s political establishment is still grappling with redefining the country’s foreign policy, and its cold war legacy of nonalignment still holds a lingering and potent appeal. As the private sector (and Mr. Singh) have pushed India toward closer ties with historical rivals like the United States, and now Pakistan, a strong reaction has occurred in some quarters. Many leftists say the government is pushing India too close to the United States and kowtowing to corporate interests. Right-wing Hindu groups are suspicious of any interaction with Pakistan. And others note that the corporate sector is protective of its own vested interests. Mr. Tellis, the former American diplomat, said India’s uncertain response to the Arab Spring was partly because the nation’s private sector — which has major business dealings in the Persian Gulf — was hesitant to embrace political change. “They are simply afraid that if they end up supporting revolutionary movements, many of their economic interests that have been put in place, private sector interests, would be at risk,” Mr. Tellis said. “These interests feel very uncomfortable with change in the status quo in the gulf.” In Pakistan, the slow progress being made on trade could be derailed by a new terrorist attack, a risk Mr. Kumar regards as unavoidable. Meanwhile, movement on issues like Kashmir and terrorism is almost nonexistent. Still, two weeks after the Indian trade trip, Pakistan announced a change in rules that could greatly expand the number of products imported from India — a business and diplomatic victory.	positive
This is what high-end smartphones looked like in 2007: Smartphones were an established consumer-electronics market with devices that people thought were pretty cool, but often frustrating and with serious shortcomings and design flaws. Then this happened: Other manufacturers had neglected touchscreens for years, but Apple figured out how to do a touchscreen well, and did. Fans of the former types of smartphones and much of the tech press declared this smartphone useless or not capable enough because of its lack of a keyboard, its non-removable battery, its lack of expansion slots or ports, and other hardware features in which Apple chose differently from what most other manufacturers were doing. That ended up not mattering. Now, most high-end smartphones look like this: In early 2010, subcompact, inexpensive computers (a.k.a. “netbooks”) looked like this: Netbooks were an established consumer-electronics market with devices that people thought were pretty cool, but often frustrating and with serious shortcomings and design flaws.

by Judith Curry See update I’m wondering how we can inoculate ourselves and broader public from the latest nonsense from John Cook: an online MOOC Making Sense of Climate Denial. The online course Making Sense of Climate Denial is offered through the University of Queensland (Australia), you can enroll for free [here]. John Cook has a 2 minute youtube advert [link]. BadAstronomer has signed up for the course, given an overview of the course in this post Making sense of nonsense: a MOOC about climate change denial, BadAstronomer is very excited about guest lecturers Michael Mann, Katherine Hayhoe, and Naomi Oreskes. The ‘philosophy’ behind the course is described by John Cook in an article in the Conversation, entitled: Inoculating against science denial. Excerpts: How then should scientists respond to science denial? The answer lies in a branch of psychology dating back to the 1960s known as “inoculation theory”. Inoculation is an idea that changed history: stop a virus from spreading by exposing people to a weak form of the virus. This simple concept has saved millions of lives. In the psychological domain, inoculation theory applies the concept of inoculation to knowledge. When we teach science, we typically restrict ourselves to just explaining the science. This is like giving people vitamins. We’re providing the information required for a healthier understanding. But vitamins don’t necessarily grant immunity against a virus. There is a similar dynamic with misinformation. You might have a healthy understanding of the science. But if you encounter a myth that distorts the science, you’re confronted with a conflict between the science and the myth. If you don’t understand the technique used to distort the science, you have no way to resolve that conflict. Half a century of research into inoculation theory has found that the way to neutralise misinformation is to expose people to a weak form of the misinformation. The way to achieve this is to explain the fallacy employed by the myth. Once people understand the techniques used to distort the science, they can reconcile the myth with the fact. The response to science denial is not just more science. We stop science denial by exposing people to a weak form of science denial. We need to inoculate minds against misinformation. The practical application of inoculation theory is already happening in classrooms, with educators adopting the teaching approach of misconception-based learning (also known as agnotology-based learning or refutational teaching). This involves teaching science by debunking misconceptions about the science. This approach results in significantly higher learning gains than customary lectures that simply teach the science. At the University of Queensland, we’re launching a MOOC that makes sense of climate science denial. Our approach draws upon inoculation theory, educational research into misconception-based learning and the cognitive psychology of debunking. We explain the psychological research into why and how people deny climate science. Having laid the framework, we examine the fallacies behind the most common climate myths. Our goal is for students to learn how to identify the techniques used to distort climate science and feel confident responding to misinformation. No, I have not signed up for the course. However, I did receive a lengthy email from someone who did sign up for the course, who emailed me transcripts of everything provided during week 1 of the course. Here is the course overview: Denial101x includes 6 weeks of lectures. The first week looks at the psychology of denial – what drives people to reject a scientific consensus? Understanding the psychology is crucial because we lay out a framework for science denial that will be used throughout the rest of the course. From weeks 2 to 5, we debunk myths about climate science – Some of them may be very familiar to you and some might be brand new. Week 2 looks at myths that cast doubt on the reality of global warming. Week 3 looks at myths related to what’s causing global warming. We’ll look at the many human fingerprints being observed through our climate that not only confirm our role in recent global warming but also rule out other possible causes. Week 4 looks at the past and the future – paleoclimate research into the Earth’s past and climate model projections into the future. Week 5 looks at climate impacts, specifically we look at myths that try to play down the impacts of climate change. Finally, in week 6, we answer the question – how do we respond to climate science denial? We look at psychological research into how to respond to denial and give practical advice on debunking misinformation. Throughout this course, we’ll include interviews with some of the world’s leading climate scientists. . The guest lecturer for Week 1 is . . . . Stephan Lewandowsky. I looked through the entire transcript, usual nutty stuff. A few excerpts: Well, I think the most important thing, to my mind, is the scientists, climate scientists, to realize that the public sphere is awash with agents who are not acting in good faith, who are not interested in dialogue, who are pursuing their own interests whatever they may be and for whatever reason, and who will not respond to communication in the same way that you and I would engage in a dialogue. JC comment: Sounds like a conspiracy theory to me. Now what’s happened is that on the blogs, the University of Western Australia is being maligned and smeared and is now pulled into this bigger conspiracy. Some of the characteristics of conspiratorial thinking or conspiratorial discourse are well understood, and there is a number of them. I think the most important one, the most powerful one, is an overriding sense of suspicion, something that goes beyond skepticism that goes into suspicion and can be—can approach paranoia even, and that is that nothing will be accepted at face value if it comes from somebody who’s presumed to be involved in this conspiracy. It doesn’t matter what you say, if you’re the target of a conspiracy theory, because whatever you say will be taken with the greatest suspicion and it will not be seen in the light in which it is intended. That, I think, to my mind, is the most important one. JC comment: can you guys please look in the mirror? If the public knows that the scientists have formed a consensus on climate change, then that allows them to rely on that trust that they have in scientists anyway and to accept the fact that, yes, we have a problem and we should do something about that. It turns out that there is a number of studies that have looked at this, and in pretty much all cases that I know of, over and over again, if you tell people that there is a scientific consensus on climate change, then that is affecting their acceptance of the science. We know that people’s perception of the consensus is related to their policy preferences. The more people think there is a strong consensus among scientists, the more likely they are to support mitigation measures. JC comment: Sounds like ‘motivated reasoning’ for writing a bogus paper on 97% consensus. JC reflections Well, I’m not even sure where to start with this one. Going through all this did make me realize something: Cook, Lewandowsky, Mann, Oreskes et al. are conspiracy theorists – they see a fossil fuel funded, conservative conspiracy of ‘climate denial,’ the so-called merchants of doubt meme. The facts of the matter are this (from my recent Congressional testimony): Scientists agree that surface temperatures have increased since 1880, humans are adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, and carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases have a warming effect on the planet. However there is considerable disagreement about the most consequential issues: Whether the warming since 1950 has been dominated by human causes How much the planet will warm in the 21 st century century Whether warming is ‘dangerous’ If Cook et al. think that there is a 97% consensus on the the three bulleted points, well then they are the true ‘climate science deniers.’ It is clear from all this that Cook et al. are UNFCCC/IPCC ideologues. There is nothing wrong per se with ideology; it is the ideologues that are the problem – absence of doubt, intolerance of debate, appeal to authority, desire to convince others of the ideological “truth”, and a willingness to punish those that don’t concur. They need to look in the mirror and understand their own motivated reasoning. And finally, a word about agnotology. Cook cites a paper on agnotology-based learning, which is rather painful. I suggest reading my previous post Agnotology, agnoiology, and cognitronics , and specifically Michael Smithson’s post Agnotology, Uncertainty, and Ignorance. Well, it will be sort of interesting to see how Cook’s latest attempt at ‘consensus’ enforcement plays out. Update: I thought it would be fun to make some suggestions for John Cook’s final exam, to see if the students REALLY are inoculated against climate denial. Here are my suggestions for a reading list (accessible to nontechnical students), I look forward to your suggestions:	positive

My work at Aleva Stores has given me some experience with using Magmi to import inventory levels and new products. Creating new products and assigning image, links between simple and configurable products. All a whole lot faster than the default dataflow import system. Not as good as other methods like API Import but good enough for my current uses. My setup is a generic Magento CE 1.9.0.1 install with the sample data installed. This also assumes that your attributes and attribute sets are created. Installing and Setting Up Magmi Setting up Magmi is fairly easy. All you need to do is download the package from the project website. Unzip the file and upload the directory to your root magento directory. Probably a good idea to put some security on the folder since Magmi has a lot of power and getting access to the system can cause some issues. Download the Magmi Utilities Plugin zip file. Navigate to the Magmi web interface located at domain.com/magmi/web/magmi.php and use the “Upload New Plugins” section to upload the zip file for the Magmi utilities. Next fill in the database information under the “Configure Global Parameters” section with the information for your install of Magento and press the ‘save global parameters’ button. You can see the areas I filled in below: Quick note on CSV files The easiest way to create a CSV export file is to create a test product inside Magento and then use the dataflow export to export that product. Then once you have that you can augment the CSV and expand it to include the extra columns for Magmi. At the end of every section I’ll also include links to my example CSV files I created. Save all files in UTF-8 encoding to ease your problems. All my magmi related fields start at column CC in my CSV files. The other ones are magento default columns and attributes for the default data. Your file may be larger or smaller depending on your setup. And for the most part any non-required columns can be removed from the CSV files. Importing Simple Products First create your CSV file of your products. Including the required information and extra fields or attributes that you are using. Upload this file to the magento directory’s var/import folder. If that folder doesn’t exist create one. Here is an example one I created for my test store. Next under the ‘Configure Current Profile’ section you should create a new profile based off of the default profile. I create a new profile for each type of import I am setting up. One for simple products, one for configurable products and their simples, one for inventory syncs, and so on. Give it a name then press the ‘Copy and Switch’ button. The third step is altering the plugins that are used for this profile and the CSV file. For this simple product import I only need to add images. So I select the Image attributes processor plugin. By clicking the configure link for the plugin you can see various options. The only option I changed was Import Image Mode. By changing it to overwrite it will overwrite any changes that are there if the product is new. For most of what I use it for this is the mode I need. Your usage may vary depending on how you are working with it. Once that is done scroll all the way to the bottom and click the save profile button. Next upload your images to media/import, if this folder doesn’t exist simply create it. This is the default image import directory, if you alter it in the Image Attributes Processor plugin make sure the images are uploaded to that folder. The last thing to do is select the file to be imported and the CSV seperator and enclosure items. In the image below you can see that I’ve selected simples.csv for the file to import (the file is located in var/import) and for the seperator I use a comma (,) and for the enclosure I use a pipe (\|). I find these to be good settings for my normal usage but how you save your CSV file may differ. For instance you may use the pipe character for meta information so using a tab character (\t) will work better or simply a double quote mark (“). Once you have filled in these options again scroll down and save the profile. Once the page refreshes you are now ready to import the file. You can do one of three methods. Update existing items only, skip new ones; create new items & update existing ones; create new items & skip existing ones. Each one has a use. Depending on what you are doing you need to pick the right one. For instance if you have a huge list of new vendor information and only want to update products you already have in your system update only is a good choice. Or if you have that same list but only want to add the products you don’t have in your system the create and skip is a good option. Then if you want to do both create and update is the choice you need to make. Make sure the profile selected is the one you wish to run and press the run import button. This is the import screen that you receive when it runs. It will give you some basic output to help you diagnose issues. Now you can look at these products in the admin or frontend but you will see one issue. The first image (base/thumbnail/small image) are excluded from the gallery. To fix this just add a plus sign (+) to the base/small/thumbnail image file(s). Depending on your needs again you may want to exclude some of the images and by default magmi doesn’t include those three. Here is the fixed CSV file. Also make a note that the image label keeps getting overwritten for each of the products because I used the same image for all three base/thumbnail/small images. Depending on your image setup you may exclude the small and thumbnail images (don’t put a + in front of the image) and have different labels for them. Importing Configurable Products and Assigning Simple Product Connections Ok, configurable products are very similar to simple products. A few changes have been made in my configurable product CSV file. The two additions that are magmi related are for the simple sku association and the configurable options. The simple_skus is just a comma separated list of the skus that are being used. The configurable_attributes column is a comma separated list of the attributes being used. In this case it is size and color. Make note the order is important. It will be the order that is displayed on the frontend. Here is the CSV file. Upload the CSV file and images to var/import and media/import like with the simple product file. As with the simple products I create a new profile. This one I use to import configurable products and their simple products. So once you create a new one it should be setup exactly like the one you copy it from. In my case I copy and switched from the simple profile. That way the image processor is already setup. So all you need to do is change the file that it will import and setup the configurable product item processor. Select the configurable item processor under Product Type Import. Press the configure link for it and make sure the Preform simples/configurables link is set to yes. I personally also set the Force Simples visibility to Not Visible Individually. In our case we set all simples that are part of a configurable product to that setting. If your needs differ then alter it. Save the profile and double check the file is correct for the import and let it run on the update method you need for your store. In my case I’m running it with create new items and update existing ones. Once all of these are done if you followed along this is the result I got on the category page for men’s shirts (the category I put all the products in). For more information on the product plugins I suggest reading up at the wiki here. That is where I pieced together what I now understand for the system and will eventually go back to learn the bundled and grouped products when the time comes. I may even write a post on creating them when that happens. In another post I’ll show you how to automate importing quantity updates via a cron job with Magmi (easy inventory syncing).	positive

The Xbox Wireless Adapter for Windows will be available for $24.99. It can also be purchased in a bundle with the Xbox One Wireless Controller for $79.95. Although Microsoft has not announced pricing for territories outside of United States, it has said the device and the bundle will be "sold in most markets where Xbox accessories are currently available." Asked whether international releases would fall in the same window, Microsoft said "more details on exact timing will be announced later this year." It must be noted that the new Xbox Wireless Adapter will not work with wireless Xbox 360 controllers. Along with this announcement, Microsoft officially confirmed a new 1TB Xbox One and a new controller that features a number of enhancements, including a headphone port, tweaked bumpers, and wireless updating functionality. Microsoft announcements come ahead of its E3 press conferences on June 15. Take a look at our full E3 press conference schedule for further timing details.

The FAA this week sent out a general aviation safety “fact sheet” identifying several technologies the agency says can help significantly curb the fatal accident rate. While the list includes several of the typical technologies we think of as promoting safety such as Nexrad weather receivers, traffic and terrain awareness systems and ballistic parachutes, the agency singled out two devices in particular as having “the greatest likelihood of improving safety.” Can you guess what they are? We’ll give you a hint: They aren’t included in very many general aviation airplanes today (which is maybe why they topped the FAA’s list). The somewhat surprising safety-enhancing technologies the FAA named are: seatbelt airbags and angle of attack indicators. The FAA has set a goal of reducing the GA fatal accident rate by 10 percent by 2018. Loss of control accidents – mainly caused by stalls – are responsible for 40 percent of fatal GA accidents, the FAA notes. No surprise there. The proposed rewrite of Part 23 regulations governing aircraft certification will seek to enhance safety while slashing certification costs by up to 50 percent. Part of that effort involves identifying technologies that can improve safety. Some are already slated for adoption (think ADS-B) while others are still under consideration. One technology that is almost certain to be included in the new Part 23 rules is AOA. The FAA says it has streamlined the approval of angle of attack indicators for GA aircraft and is working “to promote the retrofit of the existing fleet.” Angle of attack indicators give the pilot a visual indication as a stall approaches. The debate over their usefulness in the cockpit is far from settled, at least in the minds of some GA pilots who may need more convincing, but there's little question they are coming. Seatbelt airbags, on the other hand, no doubt can enhance safety under certain circumstances – although not in the classic stall/spin accident with its extremely high impact forces. But won’t AOA indicators and airbags be expensive? The FAA says they don't have to be. “Previously, cost and complexity of [AOA] indicators limited their use to the military and commercial aircraft,” the agency wrote in its safety fact sheet. “The FAA is also streamlining the certification and installation of inflatable restraints with the goal of making all GA aircraft eligible for installation.” So there you have it. The FAA wants every GA airplane to have seatbelt airbags and an AOA indicator, in addition to other safety gear. If you doubt that the technology can be added to your airplane cheaply, there might be a silver lining: The agency says it is focused on reducing general aviation accidents through “a primarily non-regulatory, proactive, and data-driven strategy to get results.” In other words, no mandate, and they’ll show you the numbers backing up why they believe these technologies indeed can save lives.	positive
Now this is one arts and crafts project we can get behind. A YouTuber by the name of “Blackfish” has posted a video showing you how to make your own Glock 19. The catch? It’s actually made out of cardboard and instead of firing actual rounds, it shoots out paper projectiles. The guy who made this video probably has too much free time on his hands, but it’s hard not to marvel at the ingenuity and precision that went into this incredible design. In the end, the pistol looks great and is functional. RELATED STORY: Why a Navy SEAL Trains Shooters with Glock Pistols If you think you’re up for the challenge, head over to Blackfish’s YouTube channel, download the templates he provides, and try to make your own Glock 19. All you need is some cardboard, super glue, paper, sticks, rubber bands, and a lot of patience. RELATED STORY: 10 Steps to Building a Glock Using a Polymer80 PF940 Frame Kit In addition to this Glock 19 video, Blackfish has videos on making a cardboard MP5; paper gun that shoots 32 ‘bullets’; paper revolver that shoots six projectiles; and a paper gun that fires eight ‘bullets.’ While we’ve only just become aware of this guy, he’s definitely on our radar now, and we’ll be on the lookout for anything else he puts up.	positive
5 Digital Marketing Tips for the Legal Niche From a Lawyer – Crawler Web Solutions 5 Digital Marketing Tips for the Legal Niche From a Lawyer December 3, 2019 5 min read Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Presented by If you’re trying to introduce your law practice to a new level of online marketing, you may be feeling overwhelmed. A mere glance at the stats can scare you — the prospect of forking out up to $500 for a single click to your website isn’t appealing to everyone. However, I have seen far too many lawyers who heavily invested in their organic performance — and successfully, for some time — only to see their entire online assets evaporate after another Google algorithm update. I recently had a conversation with Nicholas Wooldridge, a high-profile lawyer who has been generating a huge chunk of his business online. I asked him to share the secrets of his digital marketing strategy. Here are five tips he says you should take into consideration if you are serious about effectively marketing a law firm or law-related business online. Tip 1: Properly position yourself in your chosen market. Question: According to the American Bar Association, there are more than 6,000 licensed attorneys in Nevada. How do you set yourself apart in such a competitive marketplace? Woolridge: Whether there are 6,000 attorneys or 60,000 attorneys, it does not change the fact you need to get in a proper mindset and skillset. You need a niche. You also need to fully understand online prospects are so much different from a peer referral. The clients you obtain online are generally more demanding, they like to shop around, and they usually ask for a rock bottom price for your services. You also need to expect loads of phone calls and free consultations. Even with a sterling reputation, expect to encounter resistance and mistrust as you are attempting to convert a trepidatious online contact to an actual client. This is why you really need to love your work and be persistent in order to thrive long-term. Tip 2: It all works as a whole. Question: What do you think is a more effective form of digital marketing, organic search or paid search? Woolridge: In my experience, everything works. My strategy is to take the “totality” approach where you must be visible to your prospects simply anywhere they search. In this regard, I like to be present in paid searches (both branded and keyword-specific searches), all legal directories and major customer review portals such as Yelp, Avvo, Lawyers.com, and so forth. We have an in-house team that manages our organic campaigns. The team includes attorneys who submit and edit content, a search engine optimization (SEO) unit, outreach specialists, media person, supervisors, as well as an IT unit that keeps the things up. Although some businesses refer to organic traffic as “free” traffic, I would say the investment in organic promotion is comparable to paid promotion. Tip 3: Be a good lawyer for your clients, and make sure those happy clients leave a review. Question: Do you have any preferred methods or strategies for marketing your firm online? Woolridge: Client, or customers, reviews are absolutely essential. They are akin to online marketing gold. Not only do they impact your rankings directly but they also provide for an excellent decision-making point for other prospective clients. It’s not news that a client will normally perform a search on your name, and it’s better to have all these reviews lined up in your favor. I do not solicit reviews. I also do not work with a “reputation management” agency. In my opinion, these are wastes of resources. Here is the secret — do your job right, and do your job well. The reviews will be a natural quality assessment of your work. Credentials are important, too. Highlight your image with a host of reputable recognition plaques to win additional trust from your prospective clients or customers. Tip 4: Use digital marketing on social media, but do so responsibly. Question: How do you incorporate social media into your online marketing strategies? Woolridge: In our niche of criminal defense services, we deal with the problems as they arise. As such, people usually turn to search engines and not social media when they look for a criminal attorney. But we do social campaigns to boost our brand recognition. It helps your organic rankings when your brand is in a search uptrend. Also, we do sponsored posts where we comment on breaking legal news. Tip 5: Love what you do. Question: What advice would you give to an attorney interested in getting found online by prospective clients? Woolridge: Without a passion for justice, I would never be able to make it. The most important thing is to feel the urge to be able to help. Whether I am in a courtroom during a high-profile trial or in a yoga class, I keep reminding myself: be grateful for what you are and keep on assisting others. Persistence is key. If you embrace and follow these five tips, you will set yourself on a path towards effectively marketing your business online. Nevertheless, I cannot guarantee your success or say with 100 percent certainty that your law firm’s web site will get ranked on page 1 of Google. If you encounter a setback, do not give up.

Ontarians have elected a Liberal majority to lead the province. What does this mean for Hamilton? The biggest change will be oversight of City Hall by Ontario Ombudsman Andre Marin if the Liberals pass Bill 179 as they promised prior to, and during, the campaign. On LRT, we’ll need to watch who Minister of Transportation and Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing are. If Glen Murray remains Minister of Transportation or Ted McMeekin becomes Municipal Affairs Minister, the funding formula will quickly become clear – instead of the wishy-washy promises of Liberals past. Murray promised – if reappointed – to attend a meeting of City Council. Welcome Andre Marin, better disinfectant than sunlight [![](http://joeycoleman.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Ontarios_sixth_Ombudsman_André_Marin-140x140.jpg)](http://joeycoleman.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Ontarios_sixth_Ombudsman_André_Marin.jpg)Ontario Ombudsman Andre Marin (Handout) The Liberals promise to reintroduce [Bill 179](http://www.ontla.on.ca/web/bills/bills_detail.do?locale=en&Intranet=&BillID=2962) soon after the election. With the majority, they can quickly make it law – meaning the Ontario Ombudsman will have jurisdiction over the MUSH sector and Hamiltonians will be able to get redress when the municipality fails in its responsibilities. If a complaint is filed to his office, for example, Andre Marin could launch an investigation into the culture problems at City Hall that saw 25.7% of City staff self-reporting in a survey they’ve been pressured to compromise their ethics and values, less than half of staff saying their can report wrong-doing without fear of retaliation, and the majority saying code of conduct concerns are not properly addressed by senior management. The culture at City Hall is so poisonous that a recent arbitration ruling regarding sexual harassment in the Transit division found qualified women were not applying for management out of fear of losing union protection against sexual harassment. (There are no women in management in this division) The City’s own “investigation”, which was lacking in any rigor, into the matter didn’t look at harassment against other women who were advancing up the ladder – one of whom it was claimed decided to leave because of the poisoned work environment. I often focus on Marin’s ability to force City Council to open meetings to the public, but the Ombudman’s office is most effective with dealing with systematic failings and shortcomings of government culture. Glen Murray, LRT, and Hamilton [![Glen Murray (Shaun Merritt, CC-BY, via Flickr: https://flic.kr/p/7vd6dH)](http://joeycoleman.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/4268677893_dd10825cd6_z-336x223.jpg)](http://joeycoleman.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/4268677893_dd10825cd6_z.jpg)Glen Murray (Shaun Merritt, CC-BY, via Flickr: https://flic.kr/p/7vd6dH) We need to watch where Glen Murray lands in Cabinet. The former Winnipeg Mayor, and current Toronto Centre MPP, is one of the biggest believers in Hamilton’s economic growth potential and a huge advocate for the economic development uplift that LRT promises for Hamilton. If Murray is returned to Minister of Transportation, expect Hamilton to get upfront LRT capital funding. Murray becoming Minister of Municipal Affairs will have the same effect. However, with a majority government, the Liberals will be expected by Bay Street to rein in spending. Ontario is facing a credit downgrade, which will increase the interest costs of the provincial debt – decreasing the fiscal flexibility of the government, and funding available for the full capital costs of LRT. Watch for LRT to be funded with an alternative funding strategy with Hamilton expected to contribute to the capital cost via a recovery from future increases to assessment value along the B-Line corridor: tax-increment financing. McMeekin, Social Services, and Housing [![A concept rendering of a Hamilton LRT line (City of Hamilton / Handout)](http://joeycoleman.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/hamilton_rapid_transit_rendering-336x167.jpg)](http://joeycoleman.ca/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/hamilton_rapid_transit_rendering.jpg)A concept rendering of a Hamilton LRT line (City of Hamilton / Handout) Ted McMeekin returns to Queen’s Park by a comfortable margin for what will likely be his final term of public service. The former Hamilton Mountain City Councillor and Mayor of pre-amalgamation Flamborough has served in public office for decades – it is legacy time for him. If there is a cabinet shuffle, McMeekin could move from Community and Social Services. Premier Kathleen Wynne may wish to place one of the new Liberal MPPs who defeated long-standing Toronto NDP MPPs in this high profile portfolio. McMeekin was an early supporter of Wynne in the leadership race, and a key confidant to Wynne prior. An astute observer of municipal government who still attends Hamilton City Council meetings to observe, he can request the municipal affairs and housing portfolio. Affordable housing is an issue McMeekin spoke about frequently during the campaign, it’s a provincial crisis that needs a solution, an issue the Premier says she believes in, and an opportunity for legacy. For a politician with a Master’s Degree in social work, and former executive director of the Burlington Social Planning Council, there isn’t a better portfolio in the Cabinet. McMeekin in Municipal Affairs and Housing, with Murray in Transportation means an acceleration of provincial investment in Hamilton’s urban renewal. Horwath, the Hamilton Centre result, and her future.

Horwath told reporters she doesn’t see her leadership of the party at risk. The NDP marginally increased its total votes this election, and increased its percentage won from 22.7% to 23.8%. There were a close second in many Toronto ridings, but lost two long held seats with long-time steward of the party’s left Rosario Marchese being defeated in Trinity-Spadina and NDP moderate Michael Prue losing in Beaches-East York. They entered the election with 21 seats, and return with 21 seats. They are, however, in rough shape with their Toronto losses. What does this all mean for the provincial NDP and Horwath’s leadership? The answer to that question will come in time. Horwath lost support in her home riding – undermining her ability to influence City Council and the upcoming municipal election – a rarity for an opposition party leader. Despite an increase in voter turnout in Hamilton Centre, Horwath’s vote count tdropped from 20,586 in 2011 to 18,699. The Liberals increased from 5861 to 8450. Green Party candidate Peter Ormond jumped his total from 1,249 to 3,078. Peter Ormond [![City Hall at Night (Joanna St. Jacques, used with permission)](http://joeycoleman.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/City_Hall_By_Joanna_StJacques_night-336x223.jpg)](http://joeycoleman.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/City_Hall_By_Joanna_StJacques_night.jpg)City Hall at Night (Joanna St. Jacques, used with permission) Watching the results released by Elections Ontario, Peter Ormond’s support was inconsistent riding-wide. It appears, EO doesn’t release poll-by-poll locations in real-time, Ormond enjoys concentrated pockets of support in the Hamilton Centre riding. Depending on where those pockets are, 3078 votes is enough to get elected to City Council. Ormond’s name recognition can make him a viable candidate in Wards 1 to 3 if he chooses to run for Council – something he hasn’t done previously. Let the Municipal Election Begin With the provincial campaign out of the way, the City’s political operatives will now focus upon the municipal race. Let the race begin and the discussion of Hamilton’s future made clear by Liberal majority government in Queen’s Park.	positive

Posted by Nolan Dalla on Aug 29, 2022 in Las Vegas, Restaurant Reviews \| 0 comments I used to think Korean restaurants were pretty much all the same, particularly when it comes to “All You Can Eat” options. The menus and selections tend(ed) to be standard everywhere. Even the prices were/are similar. Marieta and I discovered Master Kims about 3 years ago, which was always excellent. It’s right off the 215 on Durango (SW LV). For $25 (lunch) we enjoyed the AYCE feature and always departed more than full and satisfied. However, much to our regret, Master Kims has recently declined in quality on our two visits this summer. The final straw was the removal of their potato salad. Now, all their side dishes are spicy leafy vegetables, which just aren’t as good. The price also increased, which is to be expected. Nonetheless, we think we can do better elsewhere. Oh, and forget about Lee’s Korean BBQ Woonamjung on Spring Mountain in Korean Plaza. That used to be great. Now, it smells and is terrible. We can do better than this–that’s the reason for this post.

St Andrews HCI Research Group \| Digital-Humanities Toggle navigation Projects Publications Seminars News People HCI MSc Contact St Andrews HCI Research Group Digital-Humanities A number of our projects are in the area of the Digital Humanities. Trading Consequences is an interdisciplinary research project between historians, computational linguists and visualization specialists. We use text mining and visualisations to explore the growth of the global commodity trade in the nineteenth century. Feedback from a group of environmental historians during a workshop provided essential information to adapt advanced text mining and visualisation techniques to historical research. Expert feedback is an essential tool for effective interdisciplinary research in the digital humanities. Palimpsest: an Edinburgh Literary Cityscape is a project which aims to create a new, visualised literary cityscape, based on an extensive dataset of literary texts. This project has a focus on Edinburgh but the plan is for the techniques, methods and tools to apply to other UNESCO World Cities of Literature or indeed any literary city.

Astronomers using a fleet of orbiting telescopes, including ESA’s Integral satellite, NASA’s Swift satellite and the Japanese MAXI telescope, have observed a strong outburst of gamma rays and X-rays produced by a low-mass black hole in a binary system called V404 Cygni. V404 Cygni lies in the constellation Cygnus at a distance of about 8,000 light-years from Earth. It is a binary system comprising a black hole and a star orbiting one another. In this type of binary, material flows from the star towards the black hole and gathers in a disc, where it is heated up, shining brightly at optical, UV and X-ray wavelengths before spiraling into the black hole. V404 Cygni first jumped to prominence during a nova explosion more than 70 years ago, in 1938. The system also produced eruption in 1989, which was discovered by the Japanese X-ray satellite Ginga and high-energy instruments on board the Mir space station. The 1989 outburst (Nova Cygni 1989) was crucial in the study of black holes. Until then, astronomers knew only a handful of objects that they thought could be black holes, and V404 Cygni was one of the most convincing candidates. On 15 June 2015, the first signs of renewed activity in this system were spotted by NASA’s Swift satellite, detecting a sudden burst of gamma rays, and then triggering observations with its X-ray telescope. Soon after, the Japanese MAXI (Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image) observed an X-ray flare from the same patch of the sky. As part of the worldwide effort, ESA’s Integral gamma-ray observatory started monitoring the out-bursting black hole on 17 June. “The behavior of this source is extraordinary at the moment, with repeated bright flashes of light on time scales shorter than an hour, something rarely seen in other black hole systems. In these moments, it becomes the brightest object in the X-ray sky – up to 50 times brighter than the Crab Nebula, normally one of the brightest sources in the high-energy sky,” said Dr Erik Kuulkers of ESA, a scientist for the Integral mission. Since the first outburst detection on 15 June, the system has remained very active, keeping scientists extremely busy. There are only a handful of black-hole binary systems for which data have been collected simultaneously at many wavelengths, and the current outburst of V404 Cygni offers the rare chance to gather more observations of this kind. Over the past week, several teams of astronomers around the world published over twenty Astronomical Telegrams and other official communications, sharing the progress of the observations at different wavelengths. “Now that this extreme object has woken up again, we are all eager to learn more about the engine that powers the outburst we are observing,” said Dr Carlo Ferrigno from the Integral Science Data Center at the University of Geneva, Switzerland. “The community couldn’t be more thrilled: many of us weren’t yet professional astronomers back then, and the instruments and facilities available at the time can’t compare with the fleet of space telescopes and the vast network of ground-based observatories we can use today. It is definitely a ‘once in a professional lifetime’ opportunity,” Dr Kuulkers said. Dr Peter Kretschmar of ESA, a manager for the Integral mission, added: “the observations will soon be made available publicly, so that astronomers across the world can exploit them to learn more about this unique object.”	positive

A painful process, but the kind of pain that comes from stretching muscles to the limit. The kind of pain that comes from recuperating from a surgery. The kind of pain that tells you it may hurt now, but it will not hurt forever! So in that, you begin to look for little joys that you probably have never done before. I would like to share with you one of those times. 4 months ago, I took my 9 year old daughter and 4 year old son for a walk. We started off walking on the cart path of a local golf course. (If you know me, you know that I am NOT a golfer…therefore I would like to publicly apologize for walking on the course, I didn’t know that was not allowed. I am sorry!) Now on the inside I was quietly hoping that we would find a golf ball or two left over from the last several fall outings of 2016. Can I just share with you that not only did we find a golf ball, but we found 9 golf balls. None of them were on the fairways, the green, the tee boxes – not a one. All of them were found in the rough, the weeds, the woods, far away places from the playable grass of the course. But what joy we felt, as we climbed under trunks of fallen trees, moved aside piles of old thatch, and weeds that were just waiting for warmer weather. As we walked home, having stood all of the cold we face, the joy that my son and daughter and I had. Oh they were dirty and crusty, but the joy just continued as we cleaned this little white golf balls as if they were pearls harvested from the ocean. Oh, the joy! As my family continues on in our journey of “next steps”, I think of that little excursion to the golf course. I just wanted to find one little golf ball, but as we found the one, the search intensified, and we found 9… My hearts turns to the scripture and the words of Jesus… Matt. 13:44-46, “44 The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field.45 “Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant on the lookout for choice pearls. 46 When he discovered a pearl of great value, he sold everything he owned and bought it!” Now let me assure you, I am pretty sure these little “pearls” we found only have a value of about $2.00 a piece maybe if they were brand new… But the lesson is surreal and powerful! Life may not be what you or I think it should be right now, but there are little pearls that the Father has hidden along the way, and sometime the way is not the “normal playable surface”, it is in the rough, it is in the hidden places of the world, it in the torn down branches of your world. But as I am finding, the world around me is small and normal, but the world that I have looked at for so long is so big and ready to search out the pearls that our Heavenly Father has laid out for them to find! I only wanted to find one pearl, we found 9! He is such a “GOOD, GOOD FATHER!” He gives extravagantly, He is generous, and gives out of His abundance! So how about it? Will you join the Father on getting off the beaten path, the playable surfaces, and get out in the rough and the hidden places to find some pearls? They are there, you have to just take a risk and take a chance, don’t be afraid to dream about the pearls that He has for you! There you will find joy! There you will find peace! There you will find Him! Share this: Email Facebook Twitter Print LinkedIn Pinterest Like this: Like Loading...

God certainly has created some of the most beautiful views, and interesting people to experience off those “playable surfaces” and “well-worn paths”. Be encouraged brother for the odyssey you are on is an epic one. A journey lined with those “pearls” along the way. Thank you for allowing us inside your lives during a very special time with your family. God continues to do a great work through you and in you all. Many eyes are watching you as you lead your family on this journey. Those who are around you; observe your journey from a distance see something remarkable and special in a life lived in Christ. He uses your journey to have others journey closer to Him. You are all loved and lifted up in prayer my friend. Loading...

"If the CBO was right about Obamacare to begin with, there'd be 8 million more people on Obamacare today than there actually are. … Sometimes we ask them to do stuff that they're not capable of doing." As the Congressional Budget Office prepares its assessment of the Republican bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act, the White House is already casting doubt on the agency’s credibility. During a segment on ABC’s This Week, White House Office of Management and Budget director Mick Mulvaney pointed to the CBO’s track record on the ACA as evidence that the agency isn’t capable of assessing a large piece of legislation. "If the CBO was right about Obamacare to begin with, there'd be 8 million more people on Obamacare today than there actually are," Mulvaney said March 12. "So, I love the folks at the CBO, they work really hard. They do. Sometimes we ask them to do stuff that they're not capable of doing." This talking point has been popping up a lot in the last week. Gary Cohn, the director of the White House National Economic Council, painted a less-than-rosy picture of the CBO’s track record on Fox News Sunday on March 12. In addition, at a March 8 press conference, White House spokesperson Sean Spicer, said "If you’re looking at the CBO for accuracy, you’re looking in the wrong place." Mulvaney has a point that the CBO’s projections for how many people would gain coverage through the ACA was higher than reality, but that criticism isn’t enough to undermine its ability to analyze the Republican repeal-and-replace bill. CBO predictions versus reality The CBO — the nonpartisan number-crunching arm of Congress — released enrollment projections for the health care law in March 2010. It estimated that 21 million people would purchase coverage through the new insurance exchanges by 2016. At the end of 2016, more than 11.5 million individuals actually signed up for 2017 coverage, according to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. That’s a difference of 9.5 million enrollees, even more than the figure Mulvaney provided. It's also possible Mulvaney was referring to CBO's March 2010 estimate of the reduction in the number of uninsured people. The CBO predicted 30 million fewer people would be uninsured in 2016 because of the ACA. However, in March 2016, the CBO reduced its estimate of the same quantity to 22 million. That's a difference of 8 million people on the mark. Still, experts said CBO’s forecasts were reasonable at the time. "With respect to precise quantitative point estimates, the differences between CBO's estimates and actual experience are well within the range that I would expect given the scope of the change CBO was being asked to analyze," said Matthew Fiedler, a fellow with the Center for Health Policy in Brookings' Economic Studies Program. Fiedler also noted that CBO's "big picture" assessment of the impact of the ACA on insurance coverage was on point. Specifically, the agency estimated a significant decrease in the number of people without health insurance that would leave the uninsured rate at a historic low, which is what occurred, he said. In addition, the figure ignores the fact that the 2010 prediction couldn’t account the Supreme Court decision about Medicaid expansion that allowed each state to decide for itself. Nineteen states have refused to expand Medicaid eligibility. According to a 2015 report from the Commonwealth Fund, the CBO overestimated enrollee total, but still offered projections closer to reality than four other forecasters (the Office of the Actuary of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the RAND Corporation, the Urban Institute; and the Lewin Group). Importantly, the CBO reduced its projection of how many people would get health insurance this year through the Affordable Care Act’s marketplaces, from 21 million to 13 million. Initially, CBO analysts believed exchange enrollment would be higher in part because employers would drop insurance plans in favor of the marketplaces. That has not occurred. ‘They’re not capable’ Just because the CBO overestimated one measure of the Affordable Care Act in the past is not a reason enough to believe that they will miss in the same direction in the future, Fielder said. In fact, the CBO continuously adjusts their projections to incorporate new data, research, and experience, so if anything they shouldn’t repeat the same mistakes. With respect to the House bill, the CBO has the advantage of having just seen how implementing the ACA impacted insurance coverage. "That experience will be particularly helpful in evaluating the effects of rolling back provisions of the ACA, meaning that, if anything, one should probably expect estimates of this legislation to be more accurate than CBO's estimates of the effects of enacting the ACA," Fielder said. No prediction will ever be perfect, but for the most part, experts who have studied the CBO have found their projections to be largely sound. For example, the National Tax Journal in 1988 concluded that short-run projections from the CBO do not contain bias. A 2000 report comparing the forecasting of the CBO and the Federal Reserve Board concluded that, "The most accurate forecasting is done by the CBO, with the Fed a close second." Even the CBO released its own report in November 2015 that looked at how accurate their predictions have been, as well as what factors have contributed to forecasting errors. On average, between 1982 and 2014, the CBO overestimated two-year revenue forecasts by 1.1 percent and six-year projections by about 5.3 percent. Our ruling Mulvaney said, "If the CBO was right about Obamacare to begin with, there'd be 8 million more people on Obamacare today than there actually are." Mulvaney went on to say that the CBO may not be capable of assessing the GOP’s replacement plan. The initial CBO analysis of the Affordable Care Act did forecast that more people would participate in health care exchanges than actually did, but the CBO has revised those estimates. Moreover, independent analyses, as well as experts agree that the CBO offers some of the best estimates given the information available at the time. Mulvaney’s statement is partially accurate, but misses context that would give readers a different picture of the CBO. We rate this claim Half True.	positive

The Estonian government has taken the European Union to the European Court of Justice over a 34.4 million euro fine it had to pay for overstocking sugar prior to EU accession in 2004. Estonia already won the case against hoarding other agricultural products, winning back 6.5 million euros, and petitioned the European Commission to also return the much large fine for sugar stockpiling. Estonia had the request rejected by the Commission and has now turned to courts. The Government decided to file an action to the European Court of Justice at Thursday’s cabinet meeting, in order to at least partially recover 34.3 million euros from the European Union that was paid for surplus sugar stocks. Prime minister Taavi Rõivas said Estonian state lawyers believe the case could be realistically winnable. Estonia finds that the European Commission has violated a number of general principles of law derived from the Treaty, such as the principle of good governance and legality of the activities of the Union. When Estonia joined the European Union, it had to pay a so-called fine for surplus stocks of various commodities. Since the General Court of the European Union annulled the decision of the European Commission on the determination of surplus stocks of agricultural products other than sugar, the Commission returned 6,584,000 euros at the end of 2012. Referring to the same decision, Estonia also requested that 34.3 million euros that were paid for the sugar surplus stocks would be recovered, but the Commission announced in December 2014 that it does not fulfil this request and Estonia can appeal to the European Court of Justice.	positive

Thirty years after the world’s worst nuclear disaster, Chernobyl is about to become a solar farm. Officials in Ukraine plan to build a solar energy plant at the Chernobyl nuclear site. The announcement comes during the week of the 31st anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear accident. The Chernobyl accident occurred on April 26, 1986. The incident would become the world's worst nuclear accident. 32 people died and dozens of others suffered painful radiation burns. Until recently, the government of Ukraine has largely ignored the area. Ostap Semerak is Ukraine’s minister of ecology. He spoke with VOA about the planned solar project. "Today, almost a year after we have started the work, I can announce the first private investment project working in the Chernobyl zone to build a small solar energy plant.” Semerak says more than 50 national and international companies have expressed interest in building the solar plant. He adds that when completed, the project will produce about half the power produced by the Chernobyl nuclear plant. "We have received over 50 applications from companies of various sizes. Cumulatively, those would be enough to produce 2.5 gigawatts of power, which would be 2,500 megawatts. This is comparable to the output by two units of a nuclear power plant. This is about half the capacity which the Chernobyl power plant had before the disaster." Officials expect to complete the solar plant project in May. I’m Jonathan Evans. Oksana Ligostova and Ruslan Deynychencko reported this story for VOA. Jonathan Evans adapted the report for Learning English.

Diplomatic Immunity, American-Style « Aletho News Aletho News ΑΛΗΘΩΣ Diplomatic Immunity, American-Style BY LARRY ROMANOFF • UNZ REVIEW • AUGUST 28, 2022 In a recent podcast, Kevin Barrett stated that the rule of law has disappeared in the US. This is so obviously true to outsiders looking in, and is even more true of American official conduct abroad, but I find myself wondering about the extent to which Americans generally are aware of this and how it is perceived. In days gone by, this lawlessness was usually deeply buried and obfuscated but today it seems there is no longer even a pretense of any rule of law. We see this most recently in the so-called “sanctions” the US so freely applies to countries and individuals, being no more than illegal rampaging and looting. But there is another category that may not be as visible and yet is indicative of an extreme breakdown of the rule of law, this applying to the category of “diplomatic immunity”, real or imagined, where the US government absolutely treads on a one-way street. This article is only a brief introduction with a few examples of hundreds that could be cited. Devyani Khobragade On late 2013 an Indian diplomat, 39-year-old Devyani Khobragade, was the Deputy Consul-General in New York, and by all reports had an excellent reputation and was honorably discharging her consular duties. But then she was suddenly charged with submitting false documents to obtain a work visa for a housekeeper. She was arrested and handcuffed while dropping her daughter off at school, was taken to a police station and strip-searched, given a body cavity search, then put into a cell with drug dealers and held there until she was finally released on $250,000 bail.[1] The Federal Prosecutor, Preet Bharara, claimed agents had arrested her “in the most discreet way possible”, having doing so in full view of her daughter, her daughter’s friends, and most of the teachers and students. He said “there can be no plausible claim that this case was somehow an injustice”, calling her treatment “standard procedure” even for diplomatic personnel, claiming further that during her strip and cavity searches she had been “accorded courtesies well beyond what other defendants are accorded, most of whom are American citizens.” He claimed these procedures were “standard practice for every defendant, rich or poor, American or not, in order to make sure that no prisoner keeps anything on his person that could harm anyone, including himself”. He said his office’s sole motivation was to uphold the law, protect victims and hold lawbreakers accountable, “no matter what their societal status and no matter how powerful, rich or connected they are”.[2][3][4][5] It staggers the imagination and leaves us numb and unable to respond when faced with such incredibly shameful lies. The mess was later blamed on a “mistake”, a claim that the low-level agent who drew up the charges against Ms. Khobragade had confused two documents – Ms. Khobragade’s US visa application and that of the employment contract with her housekeeper – and “misunderstood” Ms. Khobragade’s salary as the amount she meant to pay her maid. Yet those two documents are in an entirely different format and could not possibly have been confused one with the other. It would appear that no visa fraud actually occurred after all, and it was further discovered Ms. Khobragade was after all attached to the UN as an advisor, which function unquestionably granted her full diplomatic immunity. The US State department repeatedly refused to acknowledge her diplomatic status but let her leave the country.[6] However, and if all the claims had been true, this really would have been at most a simple issue of a wage mis-statement which is a misdemeanor offense and not a felony, and would normally be investigated by the Department of Labor. In fact, this is a common issue with many foreign household and agricultural workers in the US, and also occurs daily with restaurant workers, but never in the history of America has a restaurant or farm owner been arrested and strip-searched because of a low-level wage or visa dispute. And for such a minor offense the bail is usually around $5,000, not $250,000. So what really happened? Well, only a few weeks before being abruptly arrested and strip-searched in New York, Ms. Khobragade had managed to make some powerful enemies in the US pharmaceutical industry about India’s treatment of US so-called intellectual property. The Indian government and courts have taken IP actions that angered the Americans, including denial to US firms of pharmaceutical patents that were not a true innovation, and permitting compulsory licensing for production of generic medicines. The US Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) was hysterical at India’s actions, referring to “unprecedented patent revocations and denials” and accusing India of being “an outlier in the global economy”. AmCham’s “Global IP Center” held a public event in New York at which it attacked India’s practices, and at which Ms. Khobragade was “outspoken” in defense of her country’s practices, and where she engaged in “debate” with US industry executives, demanding that in future an Indian representative be given a formal place at these events to present India’s side of the story. Shortly thereafter, US officials were busy cavity-searching, humiliating, and deporting the woman who dared confront the IP kings of AmCham and the US pharma industry. Preet Bharara later confirmed in an autobiography that Devyani Khobragade was indeed strip-searched and cavity-searched, and acknowledged, “That could have and should have been avoided, given that no one would have sought pretrial detention.”[7] A bit too little and a bit too late. The official position of all civilised nations toward a foreign diplomat resident in their countries is that “He is a diplomat and has the privileges of a diplomat. If you’re a diplomat and you commit any crime, the case is investigated and is forwarded to your embassy. That’s what the law says and we work within the law”. However, the official position of the American government toward foreign diplomats in the US is different. A State Department “guidance paper” for American law enforcement officials on how diplomatic immunity works even at the highest levels says that “diplomatic immunity is not intended to serve as a license for persons to flout the law and purposely avoid liability for their actions. The purpose of these privileges and immunities is not to benefit individuals but to ensure the efficient and effective performance of their official missions on behalf of their governments.” In short, a foreign diplomat in the US has no immunity against prosecution by the US government for offenses real or imagined, but US citizens in other nations, diplomats or not, have full immunity even when clearly engaged in illegal activities that include drunk or reckless driving, espionage, and murder. There are literally hundreds of cases where US consular officials in all countries regularly flout domestic labor and many other laws. American employment contracts in other countries are regularly violated with impunity, and typically specify that all staff issues including compensation will be decided exclusively by the US consular staff with no recourse to either domestic or US law – contract wording that is itself illegal, since no contract anywhere can eliminate recourse to local courts. But then, these are Americans, and their world is apparently different than ours. Americans in all countries violate both domestic tax laws and their visa status, in all cases being protected by the US government claiming “diplomatic status” for those who are clearly non-diplomats. Raymond Davis Here is another incident, this one from the other side of the fence. In January of 2011, CIA agent Raymond Davis was driving down a street in Lahore, Pakistan, when he stopped at a red light. A motorbike carrying two Pakistani Intelligence agents keeping Davis under surveillance due to suspicion of criminal activities, pulled in front of his car. Davis drew an automatic weapon and killed both men, claiming they had attempted to rob him and that he acted in self-defense.[8][9] But the documented facts from multiple witnesses clearly proved that Davis initiated the violence. When the motorcycle stopped in front of his car, Davis first fired five shots through the windshield, killing one man and injuring the other, then got out of his vehicle, shot four more rounds into the two men as they lay on the pavement, then four more shots into one man’s back as he was trying to crawl away, killing him as well. Witnesses testified that Davis then walked back to his car, called for backup on a military radio, then took photos of the men he had just killed. One witness who watched from his restaurant across the street, said he was amazed at the American’s manner. “He was very peaceful and confident. I was wondering how he could be like that after killing two people,” he said. Minutes later, four Americans in a Toyota jeep with fake registration plates left Davis’ home and made a frantic but unsuccessful attempt to reach Davis and rescue him. Finding their vehicle trapped in a traffic jam, they crossed the median and traveled against the oncoming traffic, colliding with a motorcycle and killing the driver. After the accident, they fled the scene and drove at high speed to the US Embassy, jettisoning many bits of evidence along the way including 100 bullets, knives, gloves, a blindfold. Witnesses later told police that one American opened the door to their vehicle, displayed a rifle and threatened to kill anyone who got in their way. Davis also attempted to escape in his vehicle but was apprehended and charged with double murder, espionage and the illegal possession of a firearm. Although Davis was part of the CIA’s Global Response Staff, he was at the time doing some contract espionage work for Xe Services, the private company formerly known as Blackwater that was involved in a multitude of scandals in Iraq that included mass murders and many other crimes. Items recovered from Davis’s car included a Glock handgun, an infrared light, a portable telescope, GPS equipment, two mobile phones, a satellite phone, 9mm ammunition, multiple ATM and military ID cards, multiple ID cards from several different US consulates, facial disguise and makeup, and a camera. According to Pakistani officials, Davis’ camera contained photos of “prohibited areas such as installations along the border with India”, stating “This is not the work of a diplomat. He was doing espionage and other activities”.[10][11][12][13] Then-US President Obama demanded that Pakistan free “our diplomat” under the Vienna convention rules, and the State Department exerted fierce and unrelenting pressure on Pakistan to release Davis. US officials insisted Davis was a diplomat doing “technical and administrative work” at the embassy and had to be treated as such, though he was a common criminal in the country on a tourist passport, had no diplomatic credentials and no consular functions. Pakistani officials demanded the US turn over for questioning the men in the Embassy who had attempted to rescue Davis and had killed the motorcyclist, but the Americans refused and spirited the men out of Pakistan. Davis was released after the families of the two killed men were paid $2.4 million in what is called “blood money”. Joshua Walde In another incident, in August of 2013 an American diplomat, Joshua Walde, an information management officer at the US Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, was driving his SUV at a high rate of speed when he made an illegal turn, crossed the highway center line, and rammed into a full mini-bus, killing a father of three whose widow was six months pregnant, and seriously injuring eight other people.[14] (15) US Embassy officials in Nairobi took advantage of Walde’s diplomatic immunity and rushed the American and his family out of Kenya the next day, leaving the crash victims with no financial assistance. Officials noted that embassy employees are typically evacuated “for medical evaluations” after traumatic events but also are flown out of a country “to avoid any possible retribution”. Hilary Renner, a State Department spokeswoman in Washington, said the embassy extends “its deepest condolences” to the family of the dead man, and “wishes a speedy recovery” to those injured. Anne Sacoolas More recently we had the case of Anne Sacoolas, the wife of an American employed at a UK consulate, who was formally charged in the death of British teenager Harry Dunn. Sacoolas was driving her car on the wrong side of the road, perhaps while impaired, and crashed into Dunn’s motorcycle, killing him. Sacoolas spoke later to the police, but then immediately headed for the airport and left the UK, claiming “diplomatic immunity” when of course she had none. However, the Americans refused to release her to return to the UK to stand trial.[16][17] Once safe at home in the US, Ms. Sacoolas offered to perform some “community service” as penance. Here are some media details if you are interested in more information:[18][19][20][21][22][23] Julia Bravo A current case is that of an American soldier in Italy, a young woman named Julia Bravo, who has been charged with vehicular homicide. Prosecutors in Pordenone, in Italy’s Northeast, charged the 20-year-old female soldier stationed at the US Air Force’s Aviano Air Base with vehicular manslaughter in the auto death of a young boy in Italy. According to witness testimony, Bravo had left a disco in the small hours of the morning, was subsequently seen driving erratically on the road, drove over and through a traffic circle, crossed a median, crashed through a group of road signs at high speed and hit a group of young boys walking on the roadside, killing one of them instantly. According to an eyewitness who had been partying in the same club, Bravo was so drunk “she couldn’t even turn the ignition on”, and at first drove off in the opposite direction of her military base. The police said her blood-alcohol level was four times the legal limit. The dead boy’s mother said, “We all know that the soldiers on the Aviano base in this area do what they like, that they don’t respect the rules. There have been many incidents in the past that involved American troops. They have the freedom to do whatever they like and not be punished.” The mother told the Corriere della Sera newspaper that she wanted the soldier tried in Italy. “I don’t trust the American justice system.” However, the chance of that appears slight since the US Embassy is apparently exerting enormous pressure on the Italians to have the woman sent to the US for a “prosecution” which will never take place.[24][25][26][27][28] However, being American, our sympathies must lie with the perpetrator. Her lawyer told the Italian media that his client was “extremely emotionally exhausted” from expressing her remorse and apologising to the family. Capt. Richard Ashby There have been many such occurrences involving US military personnel in countries throughout Europe and Asia, and invariably with the US applying immense diplomatic and military bullying to prevent Americans from being subject to the laws of any country. One notable case occurred some years back where a Capt. Richard Ashby, flying a military jet aircraft in Northern Italy, was displaying what he boasted as a “daredevil stunt” and severed the cables of a cable car line at an Italian ski resort, sending 20 people to their death. The military restrictions prohibited flight below 1,000 feet above ground level and at speeds more than 500 mph. Ashby was flying his aircraft at little over 300 feet and at more than 1,000 Kph when the accident occurred.[29][30][31] Italian prosecutors had wanted four US airmen, including Ashby and his co-pilot, Capt. Joseph Schweitzer, and three officers from the US base at Aviano, to face charges of manslaughter and endangering the safety of transport, but the Americans bullied the Italians into surrendering the prisoners to an American court. Naturally, all were found not guilty of all charges. The Italians were infuriated, but there was nothing to be done. People still ask today why has no one has even been held to account for that tragedy.[32][33] Epilogue One of the distressing features of today’s world is that it is not only the US that has apparently abandoned any pretense of adhering to a rule of law; most other Western nations are as guilty, and some perhaps even more so. Think of Canada during the recent truckers’ protest in Ottawa. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau first had the nation’s law enforcement agencies track down the ownership of the vehicles and extort the insurance companies into canceling the insurance on all the trucks. When that failed, they used every manner of access to determine the identity of all protesters and forced the banks to freeze the accounts of all participants. When that still failed to frighten off the protesters, Trudeau had the local governments begin seizing the semi-trailers and selling them ($150,000 to $200,000 each) “to pay the costs of monitoring the protest”. All actions were openly and reprehensibly illegal, against all manner of law and justice, but seemingly of no concern. It is incredible, unbelievable, that the government of any civilised country, the so-called democracies and “free nations”, could behave in such a manner, and yet this is where we are. The few examples in this essay are of rampant criminality and the immunity that comes with uncontrolled power in the hands of the wrong people. It is no longer a matter of law but of power to do. The US government recently confiscated the entire assets of Afghanistan’s central bank and arbitrarily decided to “donate” the money to American 9-11 victims. That is not different than seizing the assets of Russia’s central bank, and keeping the money, not different than seizing a $100 million yacht owned by an innocent individual, and selling it and keeping the money – because he’s Russian. We see articles today warning us of the impending degeneration of the US and the West into totalitarian fascism, but that’s a delusion: we’re already there, but nobody seems to know. If you are on the wrong side of the political fence today, your life could easily become miserable and short. Dissidence is no longer a requirement; innocent questioning of the official narrative will be sufficient. By the time everyone wakes up, it will be too late and we will be in the middle of World War Three.

Handley – September 19, 2018 In How to End the Autism Epidemic, Generation Rescue’s co-founder J.B. Handley offers a compelling, science-based explanation of what’s causing the autism epidemic, the lies that enable its perpetuation, and the steps we must take as parents and as a society in order to end it. While many parents have heard the rhetoric that vaccines are safe and effective and that the science is settled about the relationship between vaccines and autism, few realize that in the 1960s, American children received three vaccines compared to the thirty-eight they receive today. Or that when parents are told that the odds of an adverse reaction are “one in a million,” the odds are actually one in fifty. Or that in the 1980s, the rate of autism was one in ten thousand children. Today it’s one in thirty-six. Parents, educators, and social service professionals around the country are sounding an alarm that we are in the midst of a devastating public health crisis―one that corresponds in lockstep with an ever-growing vaccine schedule. Why do our public health officials refuse to investigate this properly―or even acknowledge it? In How to End the Autism Epidemic, Handley confronts and dismantles the most common lies about vaccines and autism. He then lays out, in detail, what the truth actually is: new published science links the aluminium adjuvant used in vaccines to immune activation events in the brains of infants, triggering autism; and there is a clear legal basis for the statement that vaccines cause autism, including previously undisclosed depositions of prominent autism scientists under oath. While Handley’s argument is unsparing, his position is ultimately moderate and constructive: we must continue to investigate the safety of vaccines, we must adopt a position of informed consent, and every individual vaccine must be considered on its own merits. This issue is far from settled. By refusing to engage with parents and other stakeholders in a meaningful way, our public health officials destroy the public trust and enable the suffering of countless children and families.

It’s been a great week this week! The launch of the MAV referral rewards last week has been going great and I got out a nice hotfix to the October build over the weekend as well. So far I have been pretty heads down on building amazing stuff for the coming updates. More on this in a bit. Overall mentality, I have been very happy and positive. There has been a flurry of activity around the ‘internets’ about MAV and that has lead to a higher than normal level of Contact us requests. I love getting these as it allows me to directly help someone with an issue. Be sure to put in your correct email address though! I have been really enjoying the new creativity that has been going into the player builds forum section as well. There is just a LOT of amazing builds in there that are not only very functional but sexy as hell as well! Back to prepping for the November update, I am in a bit of a hurry, as I don’t want to release the same time as Thanksgiving. Lucky for me I have been planning and have gotten a good jump on the new parts going into the update already. I’m even going to break my own rules and let the hype already start by showing you a sneak peak! Look at that beast! No specific details on them yet though, you will have to wait a few more weeks there 🙂 How do you think these weapons will play out? Do they seem like something you would want to use? I would love to hear your feedback in the comments! As always, thanks for reading and I will see you next week!	positive

Gartner likes to publish the Top 25 Supply Chains every year. Unfortunately, there’s one supply chain the esteemed analyst firm continues to overlook. And it just so happens to be the greatest supply chain success story of all time. I’m talking about The Santa Claus Supply Chain. Don’t believe me? Who else can claim: A laser focus on the target market - Children of all ages 100% perfect order rating, on-time delivery and fill rates A global distribution channel that spans the world in 24 hours Direct Door to Chimney Delivery Model A committed workforce with zero turnover The very first known supply chain to run “in the cloud” Let’s take a closer look at Jolly St. Nick’s supply chain superiority, shall we? Manufacturing and Distribution Facility At first glance, Santa’s manufacturing and distribution facility (the North Pole) is not ideally located from a logistical perspective. However he does have total control of his manufacturing and achieves tremendous economies of scale in production by having a single manufacturing facility (Santa’s Workshop). It is also believed to be the largest single manufacturing plant in the world. With the global population surpassing 7,000,000,000 people, of which around 35% are under 19 years old (check out this cool dashboard to take a closer look at the world population in 2011 and beyond), the workforce (Santa’s Little Helpers) need to produce over six million presents every day of the year. As a result, inventory of billions of end products are built up towards the peak season (Christmas Eve) creating the ultimate warehouse management challenge. In addition, The North Pole location is also a brilliant financial strategy as records show that it is it is exempt from all government taxes and regulations as, being located in the Arctic Ocean it is not owned by any single country and is considered “international territorial”. Customer Service Santa has an unblemished reputation for “delivering on the promise.” There’s never a late delivery, and in my experience, he usually delivers more than expected! I’d say that deserves a perfect order rating of over 100%. But how does Santa actually maintain such an accurate customer database (naughty and nice list)? With over seven billion records, it’s a prime example of “big data” and is of course more manageable because it’s “in the cloud”! Order Processing Traditionally, Santa has taken a large number of orders personally. Usually by face to face customer meetings (whilst sitting on his knee), or from letters delivered via the once popular mail system (older readers may remember it). Thankfully, Santa is no technology slouch either as he now accepts orders electronically through popular social networking sites (check out my prior blog Are You Ready for the Social Supply Chain?). That’s right boys and girls, even Santa is on Facebook. You can also follow him on Twitter @Santa or reach him via C2S (Child2Santa) at: santa@santaclaus.com. Supply Network Collaboration There is no official count of how many suppliers Santa deals with but I have heard that he leverages S2B (Santa to Business) process to collaborate (check out my prior blog Collaboration: The New Battle Cry of Supply Chain). I can only imagine the level of visibility that Santa requires to orchestrate purchase orders, shipments, in transit inbound inventory of raw materials and components, and the optimization of the transportation network to get all his supplies to the North Pole on time. Supply Chain Planning Santa’ demand forecasting must have him pulling at his beard when trying to synchronize supply to demand during S&OP meetings. He has millions of SKU’s that all peak at exactly the same time (Christmas Eve). He also has to deal with unbelievably short planning cycle times based on 1 on 1 order taking processes at strategically placed customer service centers (Santa’s Grottos) and Direct orders (letters to Santa) that are sometimes not available until point of delivery (with milk and cookies at the fireplace). These complex challenges require a very responsive planning system to manage “push/pull boundaries” in a very demand driven, finish-to-order planning and manufacturing process. Transportation and Logistics Santa has the logistical and fulfillment challenge of visiting every customer / location combination in a 24 hour period. Actually it is a 31 hour time period (read on). This is all done through his own logistics fleet of “a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer” (see “The Night Before Christmas” for more details). I have done a little research to find out a few of his logistical secrets: How Santa's Sleigh works – It’s quite complicated, and I won’t bore you with the details, but it has something to do with his “antimatter propulsion unit” which apparently, allows him to travel faster than the speed of light. – It’s quite complicated, and I won’t bore you with the details, but it has something to do with his “antimatter propulsion unit” which apparently, allows him to travel faster than the speed of light. How fast does Santa’s sleigh go? - It has been estimated that Santa has to plan a transportation route that visit 822 homes a second to deliver all the world's presents on Christmas Eve. Therefore, Santa travels at approximately 3,000 times the speed of sound! - It has been estimated that Santa has to plan a transportation route that visit 822 homes a second to deliver all the world's presents on Christmas Eve. Therefore, Santa travels at approximately 3,000 times the speed of sound! How much can his sleigh carry? - Assuming each child gets nothing more than a medium sized gift (2 lbs), the sleigh is carrying 2.1 million tons, not counting Santa, who himself is often described as “overweight”. - Assuming each child gets nothing more than a medium sized gift (2 lbs), the sleigh is carrying 2.1 million tons, not counting Santa, who himself is often described as “overweight”. How long does his trip take? By leveraging different time zones, Santa adheres to a 31 hour delivery run, which, I am sure breaks all Hours-of-Service (HOS) rules.

According to FAA folklore, if the weather's ever bad on Christmas Eve, Santa is automatically cleared for flight thanks to the brightness of Rudolph's nose (see Why is Rudolph’s nose red? for details). According to FAA folklore, if the weather's ever bad on Christmas Eve, Santa is automatically cleared for flight thanks to the brightness of Rudolph's nose (see Why is Rudolph’s nose red? for details). How does Santa fit everything in his sack? This is one of Santa’s greatest competitive advantages and, I believe, one of the best kept secrets in supply chain management. The answer came from a source close to Santa who told me that “The sack shrinks presents and they only get bigger when they're in the right home”.

The answer came from a source close to Santa who told me that “The sack shrinks presents and they only get bigger when they're in the right home”. How do the reindeer fly? A long time ago Santa and his helpers discovered magical oats and corn. When the reindeer eat the oats and corn they are able to leap high into the air and fly. (Source: www.santaclause.com). This is a very sustainable source of power, with a very low carbon footprint. A long time ago Santa and his helpers discovered magical oats and corn.

On land, conventional reindeer can pull no more than 300 pounds so the eight flying reindeer do the job of about 1,633,333 of the “non flying” variety. How old is Santa? Santa is also proof of the aging driver population being over 1,700 years old. Inventory Management Santa also seems to have perfected his Inventory Optimization and safety stock planning, as you never hear of a “Santa Sale” on December 26th – a fact that’s been making his competitors pull their hair out for hundreds of years! Tracking and Tracing Because Santa flies a single delivery route and mode of transport, there is not a great need for individual RFID tags on each delivery. He has, however, in the past few years, taken advantage of a GPS Tracking device so that his customers can track and trace his movements and current location in real time; through a service provided by NORAD (my children love this). This is also a very good system for parents to “encourage” children to go to bed as they can now tell, to the nearest hour that “he is coming”. So, based on the aforementioned, does Santa have the best supply chain in the world? Would you dare say “no” and perhaps end up on his naughty list? P.S. According to our records, Santa is not an SAP Customer, but a lot of his suppliers are. Happy Holidays, Richard (Follow me on Twitter @howellsrichard and @sapi2d)	positive
In the wake of Frank Beamer's retirement announcement, former College GameDay host Chris Fowler noted Beamer's early embracement of GameDay's campus broadcasts. Fowler went as far to say GameDay owed Beamer a debt. and as I've often said, @CollegeGameDay owes a debt to #Beamer. He got it. & elevated road shows energy. Blacksburg raised the bar late 90s— Chris Fowler (@cbfowler) November 1, 2015 Well GameDay, on November 21, 2015 you can pay that debt off. There are plenty of great games and destinations to choose from that Saturday. The Sooners host the Horned Frogs, Baylor is in town to play Oklahoma State, and Sparty heads to Columbus. Hokies–Tar Heels has few playoff implications, but GameDay has always been about more than just the matchup. It's about the passion, the atmosphere, the campus, and fans that create the perfect Saturday morning moment. I promise you this: Hokie Nation will get up for GameDay and go harder than any other fan base to show how much we love, respect and appreciate everything Frank Beamer has done for us. Hokie Nation, let College GameDay know you'll be there on 11/21/15. Click the Tweet button below to Tweet this post and make sure you include the @CollegeGameDay username and #GameDay4Frank. Click the Share button below to share this post on Facebook and make sure you include the @College GameDay page name and #GameDay4Frank. Politely remind GameDay on social media that you'll be there on 11/21/15. Get the word out to Hokie Nation. Repeat steps 1-4. Update: 12:00 PM (11/4/15): On Wednesday's ACC Coaches teleconference Beamer was asked if he would like College GameDay to visit Blacksburg for his final home game. "Anytime a group like that (College GameDay) comes to your campus, it's all good," Beamer said. "I appreciate our fans trying to make that happen. I think they probably make their schedule out, and I'm not sure they can change that, but we'd love to have them here. We'll treat 'em good if they decide to come." That seems like a challenge from Frank. Thank you to BilldozerVT mstrawther for their video wizardry.	positive
Meet the women fighting for pension justice – Jaded Facebook Twitter Instagram Search Jaded Get some perspective Menu Skip to content Opinion Features About Contact Meet the women fighting for pension justice by Charlotte Rogers Posted on June 5, 2019 June 12, 2019 Given little to no notice of the six-year increase to their state pension age, a generation of women are fighting back against inequality, ageism and institutional mismanagement. The WASPI campaign protests in 2016. Image @WASPI_Campaign “The abrupt and poorly implemented change in the state pension age for women from 60 to 66 has severely and unconscionably penalised those who were on the cusp of retirement and who had well-founded expectations of entering the next phase of their lives”. The words of Philip Alston, the United Nations rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights, whose damning report on the state of poverty in Britain laid bare the shocking impact austerity has had on women in the UK. In the report, published in November, Alston discusses how recent government policies have “perpetuated rather than tackled the gendered aspects of poverty”, acknowledging that women in the UK “earn less than men, shoulder a greater amount of unpaid labour and are more likely to experience poverty”. The UN rapporteur points out that even in 2018 women were paid 17.9% less per hour on average than men, made up 60% of low pay workers and were disproportionately engaged in part-time work with little wage progression. “Given the structural disadvantages faced by women, it is particularly disturbing that so many policy changes since 2010 have taken a greater toll on them,” Alston states, in a report where he suggests women, particularly poor women, have been “intentionally targeted” by the government. His recommendation? To review and remedy the “systematic disadvantage” inflicted on women by current policies. This view is endorsed by WASPI (Women Against State Pension Inequality), a nationwide movement established in 2015 to fight for justice for the generation of women penalised by the “poorly implemented” rise in their state pension age from 60 to 66. Today a judicial review begins, brought on the basis of sex discrimination by separate campaign group Back to 60. The landmark review in the High Court will examine the government’s handling of the rise in the pension age for women born in the 1950s, who were the first to see their pension age fall in line with men. The Pensions Act 1995 stated that the state pension age for women would increase from 60 to 65 from April 2010 to 2020, however the coalition government accelerated the timetable with the Pensions Act 2011. Under the new act the state pension age would reach 65 by November 2018 and 66 by April 2020, to reflect life expectancy. While the government claims to have paid for articles in newspapers and TV advertising to communicate the changes, WASPI research suggests that these were mostly in the financial sections of broadsheet newspapers and not aimed directly at the generation impacted. “The government knew that it would be unpopular and nobody voluntarily chooses to draw attention to something that they know is going to be very unpopular,” states Debbie de Spon, WASPI communications director. “As a campaign we also suspect that successive governments thought we were an easy target and that we wouldn’t make a fuss about it.” They were wrong. Some women did notice and in 2011 complained about the changes, which resulted in the coalition government agreeing to push the rise to 66 back from April 2020 to October 2020. WASPI branded merchandise by long-time supporter and cartoonist, Steve Bee. “As a result the 2011 Act didn’t increase the state pension age as much as it was intended to do, which meant the government didn’t save as much money off the backs of WASPI women as they had hoped,” says de Spon. “It’s also a question less about equalising the state pension age, which is what it’s been dressed up as, but rather it was about the government saving money that it very badly needed to save.” Some four years later in March 2015 the Work and Pensions Select Committee concluded that “more could and should have been done” in communicating to these women. The decision not to inform the 1950s generation goes right to the heart of government. Writing in the I newspaper in October 2018 Baroness Ros Altman, who served as pensions minister between 2015 and 2016, claimed that the then Secretary of State Iain Duncan Smith refused to engage with the women adversely affected and that she was “instructed not to speak to them”. The feeling at the time was that the women would go away sooner or later. Altman goes on to state: “The Department for Work and Pensions had failed to properly inform those affected by the huge 1995 changes. Indeed, the DWP inadvertently led these women to believe their state pension age was 60. “It wrote to millions of them between 2003 and 2005 about their state pension, without bothering to mention that they would not be getting it at age 60. Even in 2015, when women’s pension age had already risen to 62, some pages on the Government’s website said women would start their state pension at age 60.” Achieving financial security The far-ranging impact the change in pension age has had on the generation of 1950s women cannot be overstated. Finding themselves with a six-year gap in their savings has, in many cases, taken financial independence away from women who expected that when they reached 60 there would be money put aside. For those women who have partners and husbands the changes have often meant relying on them to make ends meet, while de Spon explains that others feel like they are on the brink of disaster. “I speak to women who often say ‘I’m frightened that tomorrow I’ll be too ill or my condition will be too bad for me to actually go to work and I have to munch on painkillers in order to get me through’,” she recalls. “Even if you put to one side the financial situation of people who are most struggling which obviously we consider all the time, we also consider the women who did plan, who did make arrangements.” De Spon cites one of her oldest friends who carefully planned for her retirement, only to find out a few years prior that a huge chunk of her expected state pension – up to £45,000 – would disappear. The WASPI campaign While WASPI celebrates flexible working, enhanced parental leave and auto-enrolment being offered to younger generations as they are passionate about women achieving financial security, such opportunities were not open to them. In fact, the government’s decision to equalise the state pension age fails to take into account the significant societal factors affecting this generation. Not only did they have to contend with the persistent gender pay gap, but these women did not have the ability to access enhanced maternity leave packages, nor were the majority offered flexible working, which invariably meant that having a baby or taking time off to care for a family member would see their career effectively stop. “We’re also more of a generation where the woman was expected to stay at home and look after the children and husbands went out to work. That was much more normal and it certainly couldn’t be called normal today,” de Spon points out. “That was the way it was so therefore, if women did work, they probably only worked part time and if you work part time you couldn’t join a company pension scheme which meant that women of our generation had less opportunity to have a private pension and are therefore more dependent on their state pension.” The upshot is that women, sometimes after years out of work, are being forced to get back into the workforce in their early 60s or sign on for Universal Credit. In other cases these women are being pushed into unstable zero hours contract work to pay the bills. “The government claims that [zero-hours contracts] offers greater flexibility, but my only experience is that they offer a complete lack of flexibility and security, and a lot of anxiety with people not knowing until the morning or the evening before if they are going to work. What kind of life is that for anybody?” de Spon questions. While there is far more information available now and the Department for Work and Pensions has been consistently promoting its workplace pensions scheme, she believes far more emphasis needs to be put on how people are going to support themselves financially in later life. “We suspect that successive governments thought we were an easy target and that we wouldn’t make a fuss about it.” Debbie de Spon, WASPI Such an approach will be crucial going forward as life expectancy rises. By 2028, for example, the state pension age is expected to reach 67. This means that as a society – and particularly employers – we will need to find new ways for people work into older age. De Spon believes fundamental change is needed to help people make adaptions through their working life. “Will HR sit you down and say well, how is it for you, how are you managing, how can we consider what your working life is going to look like for the next five to 10 years?,” she questions. “I don’t think in most circumstances that happens yet and is that going to happen in the future? Are we going to really look at the needs of the workforce if we’re all going to have to work into our 70s?” Bridging the gap WAPSI does not oppose equalising the pension age, but it is asking for compensation for a generation of women who were given little to no warning of the changes and therefore were unable to make up the six-year financial shortfall. The group is calling for a ‘bridging’ pension to provide an income until the women reach state pension age – non-means-tested and with recompense for losses for those who have already reached retirement. To date WASPI has taken a two pronged attack. The first was a political campaign, lobbying MPs to gain support for the bridging pension. However, while the group has received genuine cross-party support, de Spon argues that the government has no will to give the group any money as it needs to save – not spend more. Simultaneously WAPSI lodged a complaint of maladministration with the Department for Work and Pensions, which is now with an independent case examiner. The goal is to push the complaint all the way through to the parliamentary ombudsman who could, in theory, decide this generation of women should be put back in the position they would have been had the “maladministration” of their pensions not occurred. The judicial review brought by Back to 60 has, however, put the WASPI maladministration complaint temporarily on hold. “Even at the end of the judicial review we probably won’t know immediately because DWP and the ombudsman will want to consider what the ruling was and how that affects the way forward for our complaints process, so it’s a real wait and see at the moment,” says de Spon. “We’re all marking the days on our calendar until we get an idea of how we move forward.” The experience of the WASPI women is an example of what if feels like to realise the safety net you always thought would be there to catch you has disappeared and time has run out to do anything about it. A generation of women have been – in the words of the UN rapporteur – “severely and unconscionably penalised” in a bid to recoup money to the public purse. Alston clearly points to the way women, particularly the WASPI generation, have been put at a “systematic disadvantage” by the state, suggesting not only a right to compensation, but also the need for the government to address how it treats the most vulnerable in society. Furthermore, this should be a wake up call for future generations to redefine our career trajectories as we prepare to work well into our 70s.

The impact is immeasurable. It’s not just the theft of the £45,000 + pension, it is also all the income tax I will be paying for the next 7 years and council tax and bus fares, the list goes On and on and on and on ! Grrr… However not only are there severe financial consequences to me but also major emotional issues to consider for my health and the health and well being of my family. I no longer will be available to contribute to the care and well being of my grandchildren, picking them up from school for them till mum comes home and doing normal things that grannies do because they’re now will be working and the fact that I will be over 60 doing this so I presume I will be extremely tired. The consequences of these decisions will resonate for years to come. I just hope and pray that someone comes to their senses before it’s too late !

I was then made redundant again in early 2013, now knowing I would not receive my state pension until 2019/2020! All this time I was in fear of losing my house as I still had a mortgage, after working all those years to owning my own home.

How wrong we were, I have had to continue working, luckily my health is okay so this has been alright for myself, although I would have liked to have made my own decision. This was however taken out of my hands when the government stole our pensionable years and changed the pensionable age from 60 to 66. I have just over 2 more years to go before I am entitled to my state pension and my free bus pass. That will no doubt be taken away also by the time I get there. I am hopeful that something can be done to at least compensate for the total and utter mess they have left in their wake. Good luck with the campaign. LikeLike Reply Doreen says: June 21, 2019 at 9:14 am A brilliant well written article which fully and accurately describes the situation we 50’s women find ourselves in. However it is a sad reflection on life that people in the near future are going to have to continue to work until they drop basically. This reflects life in the 1800’s when there was no pension and although the overall life expectancy was lower, those that lived longer worked until their death. My son, who is in his 30’s, a university graduate, works and pays into a private pension scheme, which will be a pittance when he retires. The future doesn’t look good for the majority. LikeLike Reply Shirley Hanson says: June 21, 2019 at 9:38 am We never know what the future holds for us. Unfortunately for me my husband died aged 56 and I received half of his pension. I knew from 1995 that the Govt had changed womens pension age and calculated that I could retire at 63 and 7 months. I was a bit aggrieved but reckoned I could manage till then to retire. But then when the Govt changed it again I was furious. I retired from work but knew I had to wait 6 years. With my lump sum I paid off the mortgage but family circumstances meant I needed to support my daughter and her children financially through a very challenging four years or they would be homeless. As a result I can only just manage on my husband’s pension and my work’s pension. My situation is not as bad as some stories I have heard but that £48,000 certainly would have helped make life more comfortable. I wholeheartedly support WASPI and the Back to 60 campaign.

A well explained article. I noticed inequality in my employment. When I worked in a bank the young men were pushed forward in their careers. While I was kept back in the remittance room. It was assumed that I’d soon be married and having babies. I didn’t stay long in that job. But it’s true I had to take work that fitted in with the family and even gave up one job to take of elderly relatives. This effected my pension. No regard was given by the government for these women. I am now 65 and had my OAP at 64 and 7 months. So I’m quite lucky. But I certainly would have liked more time to prepare myself. I had one letter that said I had to work until 63 and another saying 64 and 7 months. The women who were effected should have compensation for the mismanagement of it all. If it was men in this position firstly they would have been notified in good time and definitely would have been compensated.

While I am not in such a bad situation as some have written about. I could not get a job at the age of 55 despite applying for lower paid jobs. I therefore had to take a private pension early at a reduced amount. I am now 62 and friends and family older than me have received their state pension. To make matters worse I now find out that despite having 39 years of NI Contributions I cannot get the full new state pension. Because of changes to pensions made in 2016 the impact of which has not been publicised. I will have to pay extra for every year between then and 2021 when I am due to get my pension. Because I have not been paying NI during this time. This will cost £700 + for each year to get an extra £4.77 per week.

On 8 December 1999, at 8.23pm, I fell in love with another man. Roy Keane probably wouldn't care much for this revelation, but then I'm pretty sure I wasn't alone. The context was a long-forgotten match between Manchester United and Valencia in the long-forgotten second group stage of the Champions League. Long forgotten, that is, by everybody except those besotted with Roy Keane. For the preceding five months, there was a serious danger that Keane, aged 28 and at the peak of his not inconsiderable powers, would leave United. His contract was due to expire in the summer of 2000, and United were unwilling to break their rigid wage structure to give Keane the £50,000 a week he wanted. Moves to Juventus and Bayern Munich were frequently discussed in the press; the Bosman rule meant that, as of 1 January 2000, Keane could discuss terms with foreign clubs. All that scaremongering about the Millennium Bug had nothing on the millennial angst felt around Old Trafford. The word 'unthinkable' does not begin to do justice to the thought of that United side without Keane. Impasses are usually tedious; this was terrifying. Then, on the afternoon of United's match against Valencia, the club announced that Keane had signed a new contract. It was a match United had to win; they had lost the first group game away to Fiorentina, largely because of a rare and hideous error from Keane. A fortnight later he righted that wrong, slamming in a joyously emphatic opening goal from the edge of the area. Keane had already made far greater contributions for United, most famously away to Juventus in the previous season's semi-final, but the combination of the goal and the earlier defenestration of the desperate thought of a world without him made it a nigh-on perfect moment. The sort that makes you realise that, even when you grow old and doddery, and when you wouldn't recognise your other teenage heroes if they were stood in front of you holding a walking stick, you will still love Roy Keane. There is something about Keane that inspires such extreme devotion – and also wonder. At the 2012 Soccer Aid event, superstars like Robbie Williams and Will Ferrell were clearly in awe of Keane. Most fans of big English clubs other than United hate him, of course, and in that respect Keane is an uber-Marmite figure: those who love him would generally be willing to go to the ends of the earth for any unspecified Keane-related purpose. As a player, he was of his time by not being of his time: he captured the pre-millennium angst of the outsider who cannot understand the world of which he is part. In doing so he brought to mind a number of pop-culture characters of a similar disposition. Two in particular: Tyler Durden in Fight Club and Tony Soprano in The Sopranos. Like Keane, both raged, raged against the dying of society's light. There are other similarities. The intense adoration Keane receives evokes that of Tyler Durden, while his obtuse charisma, anti-heroism and scattergun frustration is shared by Tony Soprano. Keane, like Soprano, was raging for a better world and a better him. He has always been an incredibly complex man, a compelling fusion of instinctive intelligence and pathological desire. Keane, like Tony Soprano, is a mass of often uncomfortable contradictions. Thank goodness for that. The most interesting people in life are invariably flawed, and Keane has been the most interesting person in British football for the last few decades – an outsider even down to his Diadora boots, never mind the candour that is so rare in modern football. What kind of hero would you prefer? Prom kings are for dreamers and liars. Having Roy Keane as a hero allows a vicarious ride through life in all its miserable glory. For all his success – Keane won seven Premier League, four FA Cups and, although he'd tell you otherwise, one European Cup at Manchester United – football has often been brutally unkind to him. He was booted out mercilessly by a club and manager to whom he had given his soul and body. He missed out on his only European Cup final because of suspension. A year later, when he seemed to be on a personal mission to win the trophy – he scored six Champions League goals that season, almost half his career total of 14, and played with almost demented purpose – he then scored an own goal and missed an open goal in the quarter-final defeat to Real Madrid. Having got Ireland to the World Cup in 2002 with arguably the greatest football of his career, he missed out on the tournament because of his infamous row with Mick McCarthy. Keane always defined himself and his teams by global competition; you only have to see his boyish excitement as he stood pitchside for ITV ahead of Milan v Barcelona to realise that. Despite playing some awe-inspiring football for Ireland and for United in Europe, he played just in just one major tournament and no European finals. If this tells us of the essentially cruel nature of football, they will not necessarily be our abiding memories of Keane. We will remember him as somebody who personified leadership, who controlled games with forensic intelligence, who was a grossly underrated passer and who, on occasion, put the fear of God into both opponents and teammates. That was a consequence of an intractable obsession with excellence. Keane combined a higher state of concentration and an inhuman perfectionism to consistently reach a level of performance beyond almost anyone else – even if that level of performance regularly did not satisfy the critic within. He was not interested in glory. Glory was something that came if you did your job properly. That, nor heroism, interested him. "You can be a hero – whatever that is," he sniffed in his autobiography. Players of Keane's type are regularly described as 'winners', and with good reason. Keane did not so much have a will to win as a need to win. "If I was putting Roy Keane out there to represent Manchester United on a one against one, we'd win the Derby, the National, the Boat Race and anything else," Sir Alex Ferguson once said. "It's an incredible thing he's got." It was not just winning that interested Keane, however. He was equally concerned with excellence and personal pride; winning was usually the result of the exhibition of those qualities. It was not necessarily a deal-breaker. In his autobiography he talks about the performance that first caught the attention of Nottingham Forest scouts. His team were 5-0 down with a few minutes to go. Everybody else had waved the white flag, but Keane kept doing the right things: demanding possession, moving the ball on crisply, putting out fires when the opposition had the ball. The qualities were in evidence at Forest, too: in 1992-93, the first season of the Premier League, Keane fought a lone, heroic and ultimately doomed battle to keep Forest in the Premier League. Keane detested mediocrity, and sometimes that need for excellence proved overwhelming. It is no coincidence that his infamous foul on Alf-Inge Haaland in 2001 came immediately after Manchester City had equalised at Old Trafford. United were already champions, but they had surrendered feebly in Europe to Bayern Munich earlier in the week and Keane was convinced they were in the comfort zone. When City – a poor side who would be relegated – equalised, it all bubbled over. Prawn sandwiches, mediocrity, couldn't even beat City at home, comfort zone, Haaland in possession. "Alfie was taking the piss". Bang. Haaland was toppled like a folding deckchair and Keane was the villain again. Keane's detractors say he was little more than a thug who went round booting people at a time when the game's laws had not evolved sufficiently. This is such offensive poppycock that it barely merits mention. The primary weapons in Keane's arsenal, by a distance, were his energy, positional sense and game intelligence. Never was this more evident than during a magnificent performance in the 1996 FA Cup final against Liverpool. The game is remembered for Eric Cantona's masterful late winner, which clinched the Double for United and completed his fairytale; justly so, yet that goal was infinitesimal in the grand scheme. In this game, as much as any others, Keane's footballing philosophy emphatically came to pass. This particular devil has always been obsessed with detail, and the minutiae of football matches. "They say God is in the detail; in football that's true," he said in his autobiography. "Sometimes games are won by a magical goal – that's what people remember. But the essence of the game is more mundane. Detail. Wearing down the opposition. Winning the psychological battles – man on man – from the moment the ref blows the whistle for the first time." Keane called it the Law of Cumulation. "First tackle, first pass, first touch, everything counts. A lot of little things add up to the thing that matters: breaking the opposition's hearts – but first their minds, their collective mind." Liverpool were a dangerous, free-flowing side who created umpteen chances in the two league games against United that season: a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford and a 2-0 win at Anfield that could have been 8-0 but for Peter Schmeichel. Keane did not play at Anfield, but he grudgingly respected Liverpool's abundant attacking talent: Robbie Fowler, Jamie Redknapp and Steve McManaman all played the most progressive football of their career under Roy Evans. The unpredictable brilliance of Stan Collymore was also worthy of respect. Keane's fear of Liverpool's capabilities was accompanied by loathing. In short, he couldn't stand them. The notion of the Spice Boys was anathema. Lee Sharpe tells a story of him and an "absolutely smashed" Keane bumping into the Liverpool players in a bar one Saturday night. Keane went through them one by one, dismissing their England B caps, England under-21 caps and League Cup winners' medals. The gist, frequently expressed, was simple: "What the hell have you done in the game?" Then they turned at Wembley in cream Armani suits. The FA Cup final had been turned into fancy dress day, a jolly boys' outing. You can only imagine the unremitting contempt on Keane's face as he looked those sartorial monstrosities up and down. With help from his trusted lieutenant Nicky Butt, Keane shut Liverpool down with remorselessness, concentration and intelligence. They had barely a chance all game. It was one of the great defensive-midfield performances. It meant the game, as hyped as any FA Cup final in the modern era, was a stinker, but are you going to tell Roy Keane that was a bad thing? This is an extract from a chapter in Life's a Pitch: The Passions of the Press Box, which includes essays from 18 writers, including Dominic Fifield, Jonathan Wilson and Rory Smith, and a cover quote from Rafa Benitez: "These are the writers as you don't normally see them: when they are fans with pens."	positive
Posted on October 3, 2010 at 5:55 PM Share Each year about this time I find myself doing two things with my peers. Both result in depressing outcomes. First, I ask how many are planning to attend our field’s only national meeting in bioethics per se, the annual conference of the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities. This year, I figured this would be a home run. The rooms are relatively inexpensive, the program is great, and the meeting is being held in San Diego, California. Who doesn’t want to go to San Diego in late October — particularly by comparison to some recent choice cities for the meeting? The ASBH meeting is, I intone annually, the only occasion at which you can meet and exchange in serious discussion with the people in basically the entire field of bioethics, at which you can learn about all of the educational programs and journals and websites and recent books in the field – and talk to the authors and editors and graduate studies directors. It is the single place where graduate students in the field gather in any numbers (more on that later) and it is the best place to find collaborators for, e.g., research projects, ethics committee or consultation consortia members, conferences, or for that matter just to make new acquaintances and see friends whom you’ve never laid eyes on before. And every year I get the same replies: “when is that again?”; “I’ve never been before, I’m not really a bioethicist”; “it’s too expensive”; “I have to do another conference that month”…or my least favorite, “I’m not really part of that crowd.” Some years ago now, when I was on the board of directors ASBH, Paul Root Wolpe as incoming president delivered his address on the state of the society, and a manifesto: the Society should have 3,000 members by [date x]. I was somehow linked to this effort, and whatever it is I was supposed to do, I did poorly I’m sure. But his goal was, he argued at the outset, accomplishable. And you should be shocked that there are only 3,000 members of the professional society of what is decidedly among the fastest growing areas of academic concern in the world. Shocked because people on ethics committees do not think it necessary or even a desirable “extra” to be a member or participant in the meeting of ASBH, and they constitute tens of thousands of people. Shocked because the 1,500 or so members (if that) of ASBH (by my last estimation) represent a fraction of the academics who do bioethics full-time in their teaching if not research. Shocked because scientists and policymakers and industry leaders and consumer and patient advocates don’t think it necessary to join. Ok maybe not shocked. But I hope it bothers you, because what it represents is the inability of our band of members to propagate such that there are lots of others out there who see issues in ASBH as issues for bioethics in general, and because the failure of ASBH to thrive at the level of other professional societies in comparably sized disciplines is incredible when juxtaposed to the readership of bioethics’ websites and journals and the countless articles about bioethics in the top journals of medicine and science. It amounts to a collective “we care a lot about bioethics, but for [fill in the blank] reason we just don’t see ourselves as part of the society of bioethics.” Some might say this is about professionalization or failures of marketing. But they’d be wrong. It is about the inability of bioethics’ centers and institutes and journals and websites to convey that bioethics is not practiced solely through jobs and peer reviewed scholarship and cannot be practiced in isolation, or at least was never practiced in isolation during the years in which it incubated as a large group of very concerned scholars and others who wanted to work together in what can only be described as a movement that only works when it has the ultimate town-gown partnership. Not lecture series in libraries. Collective action in which ethics programs grow deliberately by building memberships not only in their own but in the nation’s bioethics organization. What really bugs me though is the failure with students. I have made a practice of forcing students to attend ASBH. For years I did the “meet the professor” sessions at ASBH, which were full, but there were more people in my intro to bioethics class at penn than attended the last “meet the professor” session at which I had a table. But the fact is that the people attending those sessions have had, at least in my anecdotal observation, disproportionate career success – certainly a correlation and not in any way caused by those tables of discussion for an hour. When I was a graduate student, I had a credit card I called “I hope Visa,” which I filled in three years with the cost of going to the then Society for Health and Human Values meetings, because my advisors John Lachs and Richard Zaner both told me that my being exposed to my future peers, to those whom I was then citing in my papers, and to the dynamics of the society and interaction that characterizes professional bioethics was invaluable. They Were Right. I entreat you…if you have student, get a room package together in the Gas Light district for them to shack up en masse inexpensively so that the undergrads and graduate students show up to ASBH. Offer extra credit. Put your own money on the line if necessary to help get anyone whom you have any hope of seeing on the job market onto a cheap plane ticket. These meetings are the key … and if they are not, they must become so … to professional futures for them and for their network of possible employers and teachers. There is a quiet paradigm shift and generational turnover going on in bioethics. If you are at the point in your career where you are about to move into the senior ranks, don’t assume that someone else is taking care of this in the Program Director’s Association…they can’t. Only you can. Thus endeth the sermon 🙂 Glenn McGee	positive

History of the widespread mutiny of US troops in Vietnam that brought the world's most powerful military machine to its knees. The GI anti-war movement within the army was one of the decisive factors in ending the war. An American soldier in a hospital explained how he was wounded: He said “I was told that the way to tell a hostile Vietnamese from a friendly Vietnamese was to shout ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ If he shoots, he’s unfriendly. So I saw this dude and yelled ‘To hell with Ho Chi Minh!’ and he yelled back, ‘To hell with President Johnson!’ We were shaking hands when a truck hit us.” - from 1,001 Ways to Beat the Draft, by Tuli Kupferburg. The U.S. government would be happy to see the history of the Vietnam War buried and forgotten. Not least because it saw the world’s greatest superpower defeated by a peasant army, but mainly because of what defeated the war effort – the collective resistance of the enlisted men and women in the U.S. armed forces, who mutinied, sabotaged, shirked, fragged and smoked their way to a full withdrawal and an end to the conflict. Before the war Military morale was considered high before the war began. In fact, the pre-Vietnam Army was considered the best the United States had ever put into the field. Consequently, the military high command was taken quite by surprise by the rapid disintegration of the very foundations of their power. As American presence reached major proportions in 1964 and 1965, people joining the military were predominantly poor working class whites or from ethnic minorities. University attendance and draft resistance saved many better-off young white people from the draft, and many other less privileged workers signed up in order to avoid a prison term, or simply due to the promises of a secure job and specialist training. The image these young people had of life in the military was shattered quite rapidly by the harsh reality they faced. Those who had enlisted found that the promises made by recruiters vanished into thin air once they were in boot camp. Guarantees of special training and choice assignments were simply swept away. This is a fairly standard procedure used to snare enlistees. In fact, the military regulations state that only the enlistee, not the military, is bound by the specifics of the recruiting contract. In addition, both enlistees and draftees faced the daily harassment, the brutal de-personalisation, and ultimately the dangers and meaninglessness of the endless ground war in Vietnam. These pressures were particularly intense for non-white GIs, most of whom were affected by the rising black consciousness and a heightened awareness of their oppression. These forces combined to produce the disintegration of the Vietnam era military. This disintegration developed slowly, but once it reached a general level it became epidemic in its proportions. In its midst developed a conscious and organised resistance, which both furthered the disintegration and attempted to channel it in a political direction. 1966 - The resistance begins The years 1966 and 1967 saw the first acts of resistance among GIs. Given the general passivity within the ranks and the tight control exercised by the brass, these first acts required a clear willingness for self-sacrifice. For the most part they were initiated by men who had had some concrete link with the left prior to their entrance into the military. The first major public act of resistance was the refusal, in June of 1966, of three privates from Fort Hood, Texas to ship out to Vietnam. The three men, David Samas, James Johnson, and Dennis Mora, had just completed training and were on leave before their scheduled departure for the war zone. The case received wide publicity, but the men were each eventually sentenced to three years at hard labour. There followed a series of other individual acts of resistance. Ronald Lockman, a black GI refused orders to Vietnam with the slogan, "I follow the Fort Hood Three. Who will follow me?" Capt. Howard Levy refused to teach medicine to the Green Berets, and Capt. Dale Noyd refused to give flying instructions to prospective bombing pilots. These acts were mostly carried out by existing left-wingers, and were consciously geared toward political resistance. However there was also in this period the beginning of an ethical and/or religious resistance. The first clear incident occurred at Fort Jackson, South Carolina, where in April of 1967 five GIs staged a pray-in for peace on base. Two of these GIs refused a direct order to cease praying and were subsequently court-marshalled. The majority of these early instances of resistance were actually simply acts of refusal; refusal to go to Vietnam, to carry out training, to obey orders. They were important in that they helped to directly confront the intense fear which all GIs feel; they helped to shake up the general milieu of passivity. But the military was quite willing to deal with the small number of GIs who might put their heads on the chopping block; to really affect the military machine would require a more general rebellion. 1968 – Collapse of morale Up until 1968 the desertion rate for U.S. troops in Vietnam was still lower than in previous wars. But by 1969 the desertion rate had increased fourfold. This wasn’t limited to Southeast Asia; desertion rates among GIs were on the increase worldwide. For soldiers in the combat zone, insubordination became an important part of avoiding horrible injury or death. As early as mid-1969, an entire company of the 196th Light Infantry Brigade sat down on the battlefield. Later that year, a rifle company from the famed 1st Air Cavalry Division flatly refused - on CBS TV - to advance down a dangerous trail. In the following 12 months the 1st Air Cavalry notched up 35 combat refusals. The period from 1968 to 1970 was a period of rapid disintegration of morale and widespread rebelliousness within the U.S. military. There were a variety of causes contributing to this development. By this time the war had become vastly unpopular in the general society, anti-war demonstrations were large and to some degree respectable, and prominent politicians were speaking out against the continuation of the war. For a youth entering the military in these years the war was already a questionable proposition, and with the ground war raging and coffins coming home every day very few new recruits were enthusiastic about their situation. In addition, the rising level of black consciousness and the rapidly spreading dope culture both served to alienate new recruits from military authority. Thus, GIs came into uniform in this period with a fairly negative predisposition. Their experience in the military and in the war transformed this negative pre-disposition into outright hostility. The nature of the war certainly accelerated this disaffection; a seemingly endless ground war against an often invisible enemy, with the mass of people often openly hostile, in support of a government both unpopular and corrupt. The Vietnamese revolutionaries also made attempts to reach out to American GIs, with some impact. From mild forms of political protest and disobedience of war orders, the resistance among the ground troops grew into a massive and widespread “quasi-mutiny” by 1970 and 1971. Soldiers went on “search and avoid” missions, intentionally skirting clashes with the Vietnamese, and often holding three-day-long pot parties instead of fighting. Clampdown and repercussions Initially response to mutinous behaviour was swift and harsh. Two black marines, William Harvey and George Daniels, were sentenced to six and ten years at hard labour for speaking against the war in their barracks. Privates Dam Amick and Ken Stolte were sentenced to four years for distributing a leaflet. Ford Ord. Pvt. Theoda Lester was sentenced to three years for refusing to cut his Afro. And Pvt. Wade Carson was sentenced to six months for "intention" to distribute underground newspaper FED-UP on Fort Lewis. The pattern was widespread and the message was clear: the brass was not about to tolerate political dissent in its ranks. However, as the war progressed the stockades (military prisons) became over-crowded with AWOLs and laced with political organisers. In July of 1968 prisoners seized control of the stockade at Fort Bragg and held it for three days, and in June of 1969 prisoners rebelled in the Fort Dix stockade and inflicted extensive damage before being brought under control. Probably the most famous incident of stockade resistance occurred at the Presidio, where 27 prisoners staged a sit-down during morning formation to protest the shot-gun slaying of a fellow prisoner by a stockade guard. The men were charged with mutiny and initially received very heavy sentences, but their sacrifice had considerable impact around the country. After a year their sentences were reduced to time served. A number of factors eventually helped to weaken the brass’s repressive power. Media coverage, public protest, and the general growth of GI resistance all played a part. The key factor though was that political GIs continued to be dangerous in the stockades, and eventually the military often chose to discharge dissidents and get rid of them all together. 1970 - The rebellion grows By 1970, the U.S. Army had 65,643 deserters, roughly the equivalent of four infantry divisions. In an article published in the Armed Forces Journal (June 7, 1971), Marine Colonel Robert D. Heinl Jr., a veteran combat commander with over 27 years experience in the Marines, and the author of Soldiers Of The Sea, a definitive history of the Marine Corps, wrote: “By every conceivable indicator, our army that remains in Vietnam is in a state approaching collapse, with individual units avoiding or having refused combat, murdering their officers and non-commissioned officers, drug-ridden, and dispirited where not near mutinous. Elsewhere than Vietnam, the situation is nearly as serious… Sedition, coupled with disaffection from within the ranks, and externally fomented with an audacity and intensity previously inconceivable, infest the Armed Services...” Heinl cited a New York Times article which quoted an enlisted man saying, “The American garrisons on the larger bases are virtually disarmed. The lifers have taken our weapons away...there have also been quite a few frag incidents in the battalion.” “Frag incidents” or “fragging” was soldier slang in Vietnam for the killing of strict, unpopular and aggressive officers and NCO’s (Non-Commissioned Officers, or “non-coms”). The word apparently originated from enlisted men using fragmentation grenades to off commanders. Heinl wrote, “Bounties, raised by common subscription in amounts running anywhere from $50 to $1,000, have been widely reported put on the heads of leaders who the privates and SP4s want to rub out.” Shortly after the costly assault on Hamburger Hill in mid-1969, one of the GI underground newspapers in Vietnam, GI Says, publicly offered a $10,000 bounty on Lieutenant Colonel Weldon Hunnicutt, the officer who ordered and led the attack. “The Pentagon has now disclosed that fraggings in 1970 (209 killings) have more than doubled those of the previous year (96 killings). Word of the deaths of officers will bring cheers at troop movies or in bivouacs of certain units.” Congressional hearings on fraggings held in 1973 estimated that roughly 3% of officer and non-com deaths in Vietnam between 1961 and 1972 were a result of fraggings. But these figures were only for killings committed with grenades, and didn’t include officer deaths from automatic weapons fire, handguns and knifings. The Army’s Judge Advocate General’s Corps estimated that only 10% of fragging attempts resulted in anyone going to trial. In the America l Division, plagued by poor morale, fraggings during 1971 were estimated to be running around one a week. War equipment was frequently sabotaged and destroyed. Drug use was epidemic, with an estimated 80% of the troops in Vietnam using some form of drug. Sometime in mid-1970 huge quantities of heroin were dumped on the black market, and GIs were receptive to its enveloping high. By the end of 1971 over 30% of the combat troops were on smack. By 1972 roughly 300 anti-war and anti-military newspapers, with names like Harass the Brass, All Hands Abandon Ship and Star Spangled Bummer had been put out by enlisted people. Many hundreds of GIs created these papers, but their influence was far wider, with thousands more who helped distribute them, and tens of thousands of readers. Riots and anti-war demonstrations took place on bases in Asia, Europe and in the United States. The situation stateside was less intense but no less disturbing to the military brass. Desertion and AWOL became absolutely epidemic. In 1966 the desertion rate was 14.7 per thousand, in 1968 it was 26.2 per thousand, and by 1970 it had risen to 52.3 per thousand; AWOL was so common that by the height of the war one GI went AWOL every three minutes. From January of '67 to January of '72 a total of 354,112 GIs left their posts without permission, and at the time of the signing of the peace accords 98,324 were still missing. The new air war, and the new resistance By the early 1970s the government had to begin pulling out of the ground war and switching to an “air war,” in part because many of the ground troops who were supposed to do the fighting were hamstringing the world’s mightiest military force by their sabotage and resistance. With this shift, the Navy became an important centre of resistance to the war, primarily among crews on Navy attack carriers directly involved in the bombing. While there was dissidence and some political organising among Air Force personnel and in other parts of the Navy, it was where the support crews most directly touched the war that resistance flared. Probably the most dramatic incident occurred aboard the Navy attack carrier USS Coral Sea in the fall of 1971. The Coral Sea was docked in California while it prepared for a tour of bombing duty off the coast of Vietnam. On board was a crew of 4,500 men, a few hundred of whom were pilots, the rest being support crew. A handful of men on the ship began circulating a petition which read in part, "We the people must guide the government and not allow the government to guide us! The Coral Sea is scheduled for Vietnam in November. This does not have to be a fact. The ship can be prevented from taking an active part in the conflict if we the majority voice our opinion that we do not believe in the Vietnam war. If you feel that the Coral Sea should not go to Vietnam, voice your opinion by signing this petition." Though the petition had to be circulated secretly, and though men took a calculated risk putting their name down on something which the brass might eventually see, within a few weeks over 1,000 men had signed it. Out of this grew an on-ship organisation called "Stop Our Ship" (SOS). The men engaged in a series of demonstrations to halt their sailing date, and on November 6 over 300 men from the ship led the autumn anti-war march in San Francisco, Their effort to stop the ship failed, and a number of men jumped ship as the Coral Sea left for Vietnam. But the SOS movement spread to other attack carriers, including the USS Hancock and the USS Ranger. The Navy continued to be racked by political organising and severe racial unrest. Sometimes, black and white sailors would rebel together. The most significant of these took place on board the USS Constellation off Southern California, in November 1972. In response to a threat of less-than-honourable discharges against several black sailors, a group of over 100 black and white sailors staged a day-and-a-half long sit-in. Fearful of losing control of his ship at sea to full-scale mutiny, the ship’s commander brought the Constellation back to San Diego.* One hundred and thirty-two sailors were allowed to go ashore. They refused orders to re-board the ship several days later, staging a defiant dockside strike on the morning of November 9. In spite of the seriousness of the rebellion, not one of the sailors involved was arrested. Sabotage was an extremely useful tactic. On May 26, 1970, the USS Anderson was preparing to steam from San Diego to Vietnam. But someone had dropped nuts, bolts and chains down the main gear shaft. A major breakdown occurred, resulting in thousands of dollars worth of damage and a delay of several weeks. Several sailors were charged, but because of a lack of evidence the case was dismissed. With the escalation of naval involvement in the war the level of sabotage grew. In June of 1972 the USS Ranger was disabled by sabotage, and in October both the USS Kittyhawk and the USS Hassayampa were swept by fighting. In July, within the space of three weeks, two of the Navy’s aircraft carriers were put out of commission by sabotage. On July 10, a massive fire swept through the Admiral’s quarters and radar centre of the USS Forestall, causing over $7 million in damage. This delayed the ship’s deployment for over two months. In late July, the USS Ranger was docked at Alameda, California. Just days before the ship’s scheduled departure for Vietnam, a paint-scraper and two 12-inch bolts were inserted into the number-four-engine reduction gears causing nearly $1 million in damage and forcing a three-and-a-half month delay in operations for extensive repairs. The sailor charged in the case was acquitted. In other cases, sailors tossed equipment over the sides of ships while at sea. Though the impact of these actions only slightly impeded the war effort, they helped to maintain a constant pressure on the Administration to withdraw the military from the disaster of the Indochina war. The House Armed Services Committee summed up the crisis of rebellion in the Navy: “The U.S. Navy is now confronted with pressures...which, if not controlled, will surely destroy its enviable tradition of discipline. Recent instances of sabotage, riot, wilful disobedience of orders, and contempt for authority...are clear-cut symptoms of a dangerous deterioration of discipline.” The makeup of resistance There is a common misconception that it was draftees who were the most disaffected elements in the military. In fact, it was often enlistees who were most likely to engage in open rebellion. Draftees were only in for two years, went in expecting the worst, and generally kept their heads down until they got out of uniform. While of course many draftees went AWOL and engaged in group resistance when it developed, it was enlistees who were most angry and most likely to act on that anger. For one thing, enlistees were in for three or four years; even after a tour of duty in ‘Nam they still had a long stretch left in the service. For another thing, they went in with some expectations, generally with a recruiter's promise of training and a good job classification, often with an assurance that they wouldn't be sent to Vietnam. When these promises weren't kept, enlistees were very pissed off. A study commissioned by the Pentagon found that 64% of chronic AWOLs during the war years were enlistees, and that a high percentage were Vietnam vets. The following incident at a GI movement organising conference illustrates this point: "A quick poll of the GIs and vets in the room showed that the vast majority of them had come from Regular Army, three or four year enlistments. Many of them expressed the notion that, in fact, it was the enlistees and not discontented draftees who had formed the core of the GI movement. A number of reasons were offered for this, including the fact many enlistees do enlist out of the hope of training, and a better job, or other material reasons. When the Army turns out to be a repressive and bankrupt institution, they are the most disillusioned and the most ready to fight back." The official political Left attempted to involve itself in GI organising. Civilian counter-cultural coffee-shops were set up outside garrisons in the US to try to reach out to rank-and-file soldiers, with some limited success. Most left-wing parties proved themselves to be merely interested in recruitment or media-grabbing antics rather than sustained, long-term organising efforts which saw groups like the attempted American Servicemen’s Union disintegrate. Subsequently it was the troops themselves who organised their own resistance, driven by their own experiences of life in the Army. However, the rebellion in the ranks didn’t emerge simply in response to battlefield conditions. A civilian anti-war movement in the U.S. had emerged on the coat tails of the civil rights movement, at a time when the pacifism-at-any-price tactics of civil rights leaders had reached their effective limit, and were being questioned by a younger, combative generation. Working class blacks and Latinos served in combat units out of all proportion to their numbers in American society, and groups such as the Black Panther Party, and major urban riots in Watts, Detroit and Newark had an explosive effect on the consciousness of these men. After the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. major riots erupted in 181 U.S. cities; at that point the rulers of the United States were facing the gravest national crisis since the Civil War. And the radical movement of the late 1960s wasn’t limited to the United States. Large-scale rebellion was breaking out all over the world, in Latin American and Europe and Africa, and even against the Maoists in China. Its high points were the wildcat general strike that shut down France in May, 1968, and the near-state of insurrection in the 60s and 70s in Italy - the last time major industrialised democracies came close to social revolution. Conclusion The history of these olive-drab rebels is largely hidden from us, by rulers who would rather its lessons were forgotten. That the might of the most powerful military on Earth is worth naught if workers refuse to kill or oppress their fellow workers, and that the only allegiance which benefits us is not to our countries, our Generals, or to our flags, but to our class. Edited and altered by libcom from two articles, Harass the Brass: Some notes toward the subversion of the US armed forces and The Olive-Drab Rebels: Military Organising During The Vietnam Era by Matthew Rinaldi, both taken from prole.info. * One source claimed that the USS Constellation was damaged by sabotage and brought to shore. If someone has any more information on this please let us know. All sources agreed on the dockside strike.	positive
Concerns have been expressed about the latest internet craze to hit the town - a bizarre ouija board type game summoning up a Mexican demon. The new internet craze - Charlie, Charlie - has already had some parents expressing concerns about children dabbling in the occult - and opening the door to what they described as ’demonic forces’. One concerned local parent said: “Parents beware Charlie Charlie has reached our local primary schools... Kids are playing with things they don’t understand and have no control over. Gateways can be opened this is dangerous stuff. Have a word with your children keep them safe.” The game involves a simplistic ouija board type set up, with two pencils balanced in the shape of a cross on a sheet of paper with various answers written in each segment.	positive

Hamilton County deputies Jason Smith and Kevin Ritchey... Photo by HCSO Deputy Kevin Ritchey Hamilton County deputies got to see firsthand just how powerful Mother Nature can be when she decides to harness the full power of lightning, according to a Hamilton County Sheriff's Office news release. Deputies Jason Smith and Kevin Ritchey responded to Stoney River Drive in Harrison about 8 p.m. Monday after residents reported that lightning had struck a residential roadway. The deputies were astonished to find the lightning strike had damaged the road so extensively that it was not passable by vehicles. "We were both truly astonished by the destruction to the roadway that was caused by this bolt of lightning," stated Ritchey. "It was definitely a first for both of us." Residents of the community also were amazed at by the damage caused by the lightning strike. The deputies immediately notified the Hamilton County Highway Department and secured the damaged roadway until crews arrived to prevent motorists from damaging their cars. Lightning strikes to roads are rare, but do happen. According to the National Severe Storms Laboratory, a division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, one lightning bolt can produce 100 million to 1 billion volts and contains billions of watts.	positive

All hail that damn glorious beard. For the third consecutive year, Juventus midfielder Andrea Pirlo has claimed Serie A's player of the year award, handed out at a gala organized by the Association of Italian Footballers on Monday. "It's always a pleasure to win this award, it means I manage to stay at the top year after year," said the 35-year-old, who watched as many of his Juventus teammates joined him in the league's best XI of the year. Pirlo, who missed the first six weeks of the current season due to injury, has already achieved two major milestones since returning, playing in his 100th match for Juventus while also reaching the century mark in the Champions League - a match in which he scored a trademark free kick against Olympiacos. The full list of Serie A's 2014 awards is as follows: Team of the year: Gianluigi Buffon (Juventus); Matteo Darmian (Torino), Andrea Barzagli (Juventus), Mehdi Benatia (AS Roma, now Bayern Munich), Kwadwo Asamoah (Juventus); Andrea Pirlo (Juventus), Paul Pogba (Juventus), Arturo Vidal (Juventus); Ciro Immobile (Torino, now Borussia Dortmund), Gonzalo Higuain (Napoli), Carlos Tevez (Juventus) Coach of the year: Antonio Conte (Juventus) Best young player in Serie B: Daniele Rugani (Empoli) Best women's player: Melania Gabbiadini (ASD CF Bardolino Verona) Best referee: Nicola Rizzoli	positive
Norwegian energy company Statoil says it's ready to go with new North Sea work, months after opening an office in Scotland. Photo courtesy of Statoil ABERDEEN, Scotland, Dec. 2 (UPI) -- Norwegian energy company Statoil said it was making new strides in the North Sea by moving from planning to development of the region's Mariner oil field. "Mariner is one of the largest projects currently under development in the British continental shelf," the Norwegian company said in a statement. "Contracts worth over $1.3 billion have been awarded to date to the U.K. supply chain by the project." Statoil said production drilling is under way at the Mariner field, heralding the shift in development from the planning phase to active offshore operations. Up to five wells are planned before first oil production is slated in 2018. In September, the Norwegian energy company opened an office in Aberdeen with an eye on building a stronger footprint in the regional waters of the North Sea. By 2018, the Scottish government said it expects Statoil to add 700 full-time jobs to the economy. Data published by the Scottish government said the North Sea remains the largest oil producer and second-largest natural gas producer in Europe. The government said there's no disputing the industry is depressed, but production is expected to increase by as much as 17 percent by 2019. Hedda Felin, a regional director for Statoil, said in a statement that getting an early start on drilling activity ahead of production means the field can hit its peak output levels more quickly. "This is an exciting period for us as a [British shelf] operator as we transition from the planning phase to active offshore operations," she said. RELATED BP builds up North Sea portfolio The announcement for Mariner comes less than a week after British energy company BP said it was taking a stake in the Jock Scott reserve basin from Statoil. Working alongside the Norwegian company, BP said it was planning new drilling in the North Sea next year. Overall, BP said it plans to drill up to five exploration wells over the next 18 months and 50 development wells over the next three to four years. The company estimates total regional production will reach 200,000 barrels per day by the end of the decade. Statoil said Mariner holds an estimated 250 billion barrels of oil and peak production should be around 55,000 barrels of oil per day.	positive
FOSDEM09: "Aggressive" Linux power management Benefits for LWN subscribers The primary benefit from subscribing to LWN is helping to keep us publishing, but, beyond that, subscribers get immediate access to all site content and access to a number of extra site features. Please sign up today! At FOSDEM 2009 (Free and Open Source Software Developers' European Meeting) in Brussels, there were a number of interesting talks about the state of power management in Linux. Matthew Garrett from Red Hat talked at length about aggressive power management for graphics hardware. People tend to forget that graphics hardware is more than a processor: it is not just the GPU that draws power, the graphics card's memory, outputs, and, of course, the displays themselves all draw power as well. Until now, most of the work on power management has focused on the GPU, but if you want really good power management, you have to attack the problem on all these fronts. And that's what Garrett is doing at Red Hat and shared in his FOSDEM presentation. The power consumption of the GPU can be decreased by two techniques: clock gating or reclocking. Clock gating means that different bits of the chip are disconnected from the clock when not in use, and thus less power is drawn. However, this functionality has to be hardwired in the chip design and it must be supported in the graphics driver. And that's where Linux is still lagging behind, according to Garrett: "For a long time Linux graphics support has focused on getting a picture. We can go further now, but we just need the documentation to adapt the drivers." Clock gating has no negative effect whatsoever on the performance of the GPU. Reclocking is another story: when the GPU is running at a frequency of 600 MHz and you reclock/underclock it to 100 MHz, this results in a massive reduction in power usage, but it also means that the performance is reduced accordingly. Garrett cited a difference of 5 W if clock gating and reclocking is combined on Radeon graphics hardware. The second component that can be optimized is memory: each memory access draws power. So what can we do about power consumption of memory? Read less often (which is essentially reclocking) or read less memory. Reducing the memory clock can save you again around 5 W, but it introduces visual artifacts on the screen if reclocking happens while the screen is being scanned. The other interesting route (read less memory) comes down to compressing the framebuffer. Most recent Intel graphics chipsets implement this by a run length encoding (RLE) of the screen content on a line-by-line basis. Garrett notes that this means your desktop background can make a difference in battery life: vertical gradients compress very well using this scheme, but horizontal gradients do not. Another interesting consequence of the memory component is that periodic screen updates are really bad for power consumption. According to Garrett, moving the mouse cursor around has an instantaneous increase of power consumption by 15 W. A blinking cursor draws 2 W, and also the display of seconds or a blinking colon in the system tray clock draws unnecessary power. Garrett adds philosophically: "The whole point of a blinking cursor is attracting your attention. But when you're typing, your attention is already going to your text input, and when you're not typing, it doesn't need your attention. So is it really needed to blink the cursor?" The third component where power management can make a difference are the outputs. Just powering off an unneeded output port saves around 0.5 W. If you know for sure that you don't need the external output on your laptop, you can safely turn it off and gain a bit of battery time. However, if you need to connect an external monitor or video projector afterward, you will first need to power on the output port explicitly. It all comes down to a tradeoff between functionality and power consumption. The last (but not least) component of graphics hardware is the displays. This is another place were reclocking can save some watts. For example, the LVDS (Low-voltage differential signaling) link to a laptop's LCD screen uses power at each clock transition. Reducing the refresh rate reduces the power consumption. While CRT screens begin to flicker if the refresh rate is too low, TFT's don't have this problem. According to Garrett, most TFT screens can be driven at 30 Hz, but then they tend to display visual artifacts. Garrett only recommends this LVDS reclocking when the screen is idle, which saves around 0.5 W. If the screen becomes active again, the system should return to a normal refresh rate of 60 Hz. Another solution is DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling): just turn off the screen when it's idle. Even a screensaver drawing a black screen draws power, while DPMS really turns off the output. So what's the current state of this "aggressive power management"? Dynamic clock gating is implemented in most recent graphic cards. Future developments will implement even more aggressive dynamic state management: graphics hardware will power on functionality when the system needs it and power it off when it's not used. Graphics drivers and the operating system should control this without irritating the user. Garrett stresses that power management has to be as invisible as possible, otherwise the user will not be happy and stop caring about "green" computing. Garrett is now working on the Radeon code to get some prototype functionality. As it stands now, the combination of dynamic GPU and memory reclocking can save 10 to 15 W, and LVDS reclocking can save 0.5 W. For a laptop, this doesn't make a huge difference, but it is still a significant increase in battery life. Power management in Nokia's next Maemo device In the embedded track of FOSDEM, Peter De Schrijver of Nokia gave an insightful but very technical talk about advanced power management for OMAP3. This integrated chip platform made by Texas Instruments is based on an ARM Cortex A8 processor and has a GPU, DSP (digital signal processor) and ISP (image signal processor). Because the chip is targeted at mobile devices, some advanced power management functionality is built-in: the chip is divided in different voltage domains, and in each module the interface clock and functional clock can be turned off independently. Nokia used an OMAP1 chip in the N770 internet tablet, and an OMAP2 chip in the N800 and N810 internet tablets. The devices use Nokia's Maemo platform, based on Debian GNU/Linux. Last year Nokia executive Ari Jaaksi revealed that their next Maemo device would use an OMAP3 chip. De Schrijver talked about the power management architecture of OMAP3, but also about the Linux support Nokia is developing for this functionality. Power management on the OMAP3 can be subdivided into two types. On the one hand, there is active power management. It's essentially the same principle as reclocking in graphics hardware: with a lower clock frequency, the chip is running on a lower voltage, resulting in less power consumption. With dynamic voltage frequency scaling this can be handled automatically. In Linux, the frequency scaling of the CPU is implemented in the cpufreq driver, while for the core (the interconnects between different blocks of the chip and some peripherals) there is a new API call for drivers, named set_min_bus_tput() , which sets the minimum bus throughput needed by a device. On the other hand, when the chip is idle, there are solutions such as clock control, which can be implemented in software (by a driver) or hardware (an auto idle function). Moreover, clocks of different modules of the chip can be turned off selectively: if the interface clock is off, the core can sleep; if the functional clock is off, the module can sleep. The implementation of clock control in the OMAP3 chip is done in the clock framework of the linux-omap kernel, and Nokia is adding the patches to linux-arm now. The OMAP3 chip knows four power states per domain: "on", "inactive", "retention" and "off". In the "inactive" state, the chip works at normal voltage but the clocks are stopped, while in the "retention" state the chip works at a lower voltage. This means that the "inactive" state uses more power than the "retention" state, but has a lower wakeup latency. The shared resource framework (SRF) that determines the power state for each domain of the chip is implemented by Texas Instruments and is hidden from the driver programmer by an API. This API has to be implemented by the power management framework and has to be used by the drivers. The API documentation is not yet released, but De Schrijver said this will be added into the kernel Documentation directory soon. The "off" mode has some challenges: while the power management framework can handle saving and restoring the state of the cpu, memory controller and other components, each driver has to handle its module. This means: reinitialize the module when the functional clock is enabled and save and restore the context and shadow registers in memory. In his talk, De Schrijver also gave a status update of the work. The "retention" state works. Basic "off" mode works on most development boards; drivers are being adapted for "off" mode now and will be ready at the end of February. All this code is being merged in the linux-arm kernel tree, but eventually it will be merged in the mainline kernel. According to De Schrijver, all these power management techniques will be used in the next Nokia Maemo device: the long-awaited successor of the N810.	positive
Ohio police are pissed with Verizon after the company refused to help them find a missing 62-year-old man unless they paid his overdue $20 $20 of his overdue cellphone bill. The cops got a call that the man was rampaging around his house and breaking windows. When they arrived, the man had fled, taking bottles of pills with him. The sheriff contacted Verizon to ask them to turn the man’s cellphone cellphone service on so they could track his signal, but the operator said the missing man’s bill had to be paid first. After some back and forth, the sheriff started to make arrangements to pay his bill. Just as he was doing so, the search party, which consisted of two K-9 units, several fire departments, and more than 100 people on foot, found the man, unconcious, after 11 hours of searching. “I was more concerned for the person’s life,” Sherrif Williams said. “It would have been nice if Verizon would have turned on his phone for five or 10 minutes, just long enough to try and find the guy. But they would only turn it on if we agreed to pay $20 of the unpaid bill. Ridiculous.” See, the essential problem is that in most call centers you don’t get any bonuses for having humanity.

Keep scrolling! ©iStock/Rocter Varna is indeed the third largest city in Bulgaria but definitely the largest and the most popular city and seaside resort on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast. For me, it will always remain a Bulgarian port city that stole my heart. Varna, historically known as Odessos, is the maritime capital of Bulgaria. What is important to know is that in 2014, Varna was awarded the title of European Youth Capital 2017, which clearly testifies the vibrant energy of the city. Don't let this young folks fool you, the city has an incredibly rich history and culture. ©iStock/chanasorn charuthas ©iStock/sjhaytov As a perfect combination of port city and seaside resort, Varna is quite an appealing place to visit for a few days. When there, if it is not too hot, you can take a stroll though an enormous park and after you definitely must check out their rather lengthy beaches. After a day in the sun, head to the city centre where you will find Bulgaria’s largest Roman baths complex and its finest archaeological museum, as well as an array of lovely restaurants, which I would warmly recommend. The city also makes an ideal base for day trips to nearby beach resorts such as Sveti Konstantin and Golden Sands, and the charming town of Balchik. ©iStock/WaffleBoo ©iStock/WaffleBoo The city is rich in different and unique regions such as Asparuhovo, Mladost, Odessos (the amazing historic centre), and many more. Each one of them has distinctive characters and histories, so I would warmly recommend you to plan your time accordingly and and least try to visit each one of them. ©iStock/valio84sl ©iStock/WaffleBoo ©iStock/kiwisoul In the end, this has only been a brief overview of the Bulgarian seaside gem which is an amazing functionality of both old and modern.

CEDAR RAPIDS — An exit strategy is in place for the massive, rusty, blue water tower protruding from the skyline in south Cedar Rapids — viewable from Interstate 380, Kirkwood Community College’s campus and Wright Brothers Boulevard. The Kirkwood Standpipe along Kirkwood Boulevard is to be torn down and in its place a taller water tower with greater capacity is to be built beginning next year. “We anticipate demolishing the existing tank in October to November of 2016, and that construction of the new tank will occur in 2017 and 2018,” said Bruce A. Jacobs, Cedar Rapids utilities engineering manager in a letter to residents. It should improve water pressure and fire protection for water customers in that Kirkwood area and east of Kirkwood Boulevard, as well as meet anticipated growth. The Kirkwood Standpipe was built in 1976, but has been out of service since 2008 when leaks were detected. The city had intent to address the tower, but it wasn’t practical to fix the old giant, and it couldn’t be removed because U.S. Cellular phone company has a contract to use space on the tower, city officials said. The contract is expiring Sept. 1, and the company informed the city it plans to remove its equipment this summer. That opened the door to make changes, which were recommended as part of a 2014 engineering study of water service in the area. That’s good news for Earl Schmelzer, 70, who lives next door to the water tower in a newer residential neighborhood on Rolling Ridge Drive SW. He’s among a handful of residents who’ve called the city to do something about it over the years. He laments it is visible from high-traffic roads. “That is the worst looking water tower in Cedar Rapids,” Schmelzer said. “It is a big eyesore.” In January, Cedar Rapids approved a professional services agreement with Black & Veatch Corp. for up to $507,606 to design the Kirkwood Standpipe Replacement Project. The total budget is $2.7 million, although additional money may be needed in fiscal 2019, said Steve Hershner, Cedar Rapids utilities director. The new tower is to be built on a hilltop near the current location. It’s capacity is expected to be 1.5 or 2 million gallons depending on the design, up from 400,000, and is to increase in height from 80 feet tall to about 110 feet. The column is to be a similar diameter, but the bowl is about twice that of the existing tank, Jacobs told residents in the letter. Hershner said the lengthy construction timeline is intended to help control costs. “The longer construction period will allow contractors more flexibility that will hopefully be reflected in their bid price by not forcing the work to occur during less-than-optimum conditions,” he said.	positive

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Drug companies that had medicines tested by contractor Cetero Research might have to reevaluate results, U.S. regulators warned after the firm was found faking documents and manipulating samples. The Food and Drug Administration said on Tuesday two 2010 inspections, an internal company investigation and a third-party audit uncovered “significant instances of misconduct and violations” at a Cetero facility in Houston. The Cary, North Carolina-based firm does early-phase clinical research and bioanalytics for a number of drugmakers. The pharmaceutical companies can then use those studies as supporting evidence in drug approval applications to the FDA. “The pattern of misconduct was serious enough to raise concerns about the integrity of the data Cetero generated during the five-year time frame,” the FDA said, warning drugmakers they might have to repeat or confirm any studies Cetero did in support of their applications between April 2005 and June 2010. It remains unclear which drugmakers have used Cetero’s services to apply for regulatory approvals and the FDA is asking companies to identify such instances. The regulators said the measure is precautionary and the safety and efficacy of drugs already on the market are unlikely to be affected. The FDA inspected Cetero in May and December last year and found falsified records about studies. Specifically, in at least 1,900 instances between April 2005 and June 2009, laboratory technicians identified as conducting certain studies were not actually present at Cetero facilities at that time, the FDA said in its May report. The FDA also said at the time that Cetero might have “fixed” studies to get the desired result, or did not include failed results in their report. “Cetero’s May 2010 and December 2010 responses are inadequate because the scope of their internal investigation was far too narrow to identify and adequately address the root cause of these systemic failures,” the regulators said. Cetero was not immediately available for comment.	positive
Image via Flickr user Cimexus In the lead up to the 2013 Australian election, Village Roadshow made a couple of hefty political donations. Now there's nothing too weird about this as politics runs on corporate donations—just ask Frank Underwood—but usually donors pick sides. But in Village Roadshow's case they made large contributions to both major parties at the same time, and did so while lobbying hard for changes to Internet piracy and copyright laws. Now you can't blame them for hedging their bets, but it does raise concerns about the role of money in government decision-making. Looking at the figures, the company which has interests in cinema, theme parks, and film production and distribution, donated $329,919 to the Liberal Party, and $227,500 to Labor last financial year. This was a huge increase from their earlier contributions. All up, the company has now donated nearly $4.5 million to Australian political parties since 1998, or what Dr Matthew Rimme— an expert in online piracy and intellectual property laws—calls "a significant amount of money." "We have to think about the dangers of conflicts of interest arising over their being political donations and the very direct pushes for reforms to copyright laws," he told VICE. "There's so much money at stake, so we want to guard against any potential for distortion or corruption of the political system." Village Roadshow has been urging the government for several years to increase protection in copyright laws and implement more severe punishment for online pirates. The company made a very controversial submission to the federal government's online copyright discussion, where they compared online piracy to terrorism and pedophilia. "The problem is urgent as piracy is spreading like a highly infectious disease and as bad habits become entrenched, they become harder to eradicate," the submission read. "Just as there is no place on the Internet for terrorism or pedophilia, there should be no place for theft that will impact the livelihoods of the 900,000 people whose security is protected by legitimate copyright." Australia has one of the highest online piracy rates in the world, and last year saw increased calls for stringent laws surrounding the issue. At the end of 2014 Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Attorney-General George Brandis announced reforms that would allow copyright holders, including Village Roadshow, to seek court orders that force Internet service providers to block copyright infringing websites, such as Pirate Bay. Turnbull and Brandis also warned Internet providers to agree on a piracy code soon or they would step in. So how much of this is to do with donations? "In some ways there are larger global trends at play, in terms of what's going on in copyright law and political donations," said Dr Rimmer, referring to the widespread practice in the US where it has become a major problem. "There are massive distortions in relation to copyright law, with heavy lobbying and political donations having an impact." While the exact amount of influence donations have had on policy is hard to quantify, it's clear that this kind of thing is rampant. But be that as it may, how do we feel about Village Roadshow backing both sides of the political divide? And how did they decide which of the parties got the larger amount? "It looks like they took out insurance," Dr Rimmer says, and according to him, it's not a good look. "It's really important that Australian copyright law is crafted to reflect the wide range of stakeholders and not just be focused upon the interests of a company that makes Mad Max and the Lego Movie."

When things should decrease In the event your partnership is actually hurried, you want to halt straight away. Allergy possibilities in commitments make you caught in unions that merely don’t complement. Possible even be signs of dysfunction in just one or both couples. It’s necessary to distinguish signs and symptoms of mobile at a rushed pace. Extremely, let’s view multiple. I’ve read gradually that going directly from a breakup to another relationship has never been healthy and balanced. Yes, it signifies your connection may not be real and you’re mobile too quickly. After making use of this sample within my living, At long last discovered that making a connection implies you must take some time by yourself. Necessary for you personally to work how it happened and everything you’ve knew from the slips. If you are moving between commitments, you are racing items. Originally, it is all-natural to need to spend time collectively. Possibly it’s ok to spend lots of time collectively. But, if you are taking all your hours really latest prefer, the relationship might be mobile a bit too fasting. If you notice this developing, bring a measure back and devote more time to by itself or with others. This will help you find out the amount of you’re interested in each other. This method must always be a good investment, however for some reasons, consumers nonetheless perform this. Anyone nevertheless offering to open shared checking account with new boyfriends or ex-girlfriends.

How to Write About Characters Who Are Smarter Than You Graham Moore Blocked Unblock Follow Following Feb 12, 2015 My least favorite moment in all of cinema is a relatively common one. You will recognize it, I’m sure, from dozens of movies and TV shows that prominently feature scientists. You may even have laughed at it once or twice. It usually gets a quick chortle. The moment goes something like this: Our character is a scientist of some kind. He’s a mathematician if you’re watching a drama. He’s a physicist, usually, if you’re watching a sci-fi movie. He is a biologist in a zombie movie or a coder in a techno-thriller (and he is almost invariably a man, which in and of itself is an annoyance). Our scientist character delivers a brief, relatively reasonable paragraph of technical dialogue. He explains some plot point to the other characters in the scene, which serves to explain it to the audience as well. He throws in a few obscure, jargon-y scientific words for verisimilitude, but the basic point he makes is quite clear and comprehensible. Something along the lines of: “We’re going to need to modify the warp thrusters to go through a wormhole of that size,” or, “The terrorists are using an unhackable 512-bit key to encrypt the location of the plutonium,” or even, “By traveling into the past you’ve created an alternate universe timeline in which you were never born.” Something along those lines. He describes a scientific concept that is both readily explicable and quite literally has just been explained. But then, after our scientist has finished, the camera turns to a second character. This would be our scientist’s normal-dude buddy. He’s just a regular Joe. He is the audience’s stand-in during the scene, and the character with whom the audience most identifies. This guy makes an incredulous face in response to the scientist’s technical language. And then he says the following line: “WHOA, Doc. Say that again in English!” You know exactly what I’m talking about. You’ve seen this moment on screen, you’ve seen it on TV, you’ve read it in novels. I find this moment to be extremely condescending to its audience. The moment essentially signals to the viewer that all of that mumbo-jumbo that this smarty pants has been blathering on about, well, we filmmakers do not understand a word of it. Moreover, we don’t care to. And we have no interest in your understanding it either. It’s a moment of casually cynical anti-intellectualism. It’s a joke predicated on the idea that only some geeky sex-less egghead would ever bother to care about what some dotty scientist says. The moment treats neither its characters nor its audience with respect. I would suggest that the reason moments like this keep popping up on screens small and large is quite simply that writing about an exceptionally brilliant character is terribly difficult. There is a tendency to blow off a character’s brilliance, in moments like the one I’ve described, rather than confront her genius head on. Because the latter approach is just so infernally difficult. As a writer, how do you write about characters who are smarter than you are? How do you convey, in either prose or dialogue, the mind of a genius when you yourself are not one? How do you properly respect both the audience’s intelligence, and the near super-human intelligence of a genius character? I spent a lot of highly caffeinated nights grappling with these questions when I started writing the script for The Imitation Game. Alan Turing, whose life story is explored in the film, was perhaps the greatest genius of his generation. I am, to put it mildly, not. Turing was not only instrumental in cracking the German Enigma code during WWII, but he also theorized what would become the modern computer. Turing was not only an accomplished botanist who made his own fertilizer, but as an idle experiment he developed an algorithm for determining how zebras got their stripes. His was a mind so constantly whirring with ideas, so endlessly churning through the information of the world and processing it into theories, conjectures, and experiments. He couldn’t stop thinking even if he wanted to, which fortunately for us he didn’t. To convey a mind like his on the page and on the screen was both a terrible challenge and a sacred responsibility. One approach would be to render his dialogue as highly technical jargon. To have him speak in dense and impenetrable algorithms. The problem with this would be that it would end up incomprehensible to the audience. The viewer would not find herself inside the mind of Alan Turing; rather she would find herself purposefully excluded from it. She would neither learn anything about Turing’s thoughts, nor experience any of them as her own. It might convey the aesthetic impression of intelligence — what mathematical intelligence sounds like — but it wouldn’t allow the viewer into Turing’s unique and world-historical ideas. A dry recitation of mathematical concepts would not, it seemed, do artistic justice to Turing’s legacy. Quite helpfully, however, I was far from the first person to attempt to tackle this very issue. And what I realized was that if you want to write about a genius, the best place to look for inspiration is in the work of someone who created the most definitive fictional genius of all time. Someone who, in 56 short stories and four novels, conjured a genius so unique that he’s been revived, in books and films and television and plays, for over a hundred years. Namely: I found inspiration in the work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Now, four years ago, I published a novel about Conan Doyle. It was called The Sherlockian, and it was actually the piece of writing that I gave to the producers of The Imitation Game to convince them to let me come on and tackle Turing’s story (that I was willing and eager to work for free was probably also a helpful selling point). But it occurred to me that while Conan Doyle’s fictional detective was not at all like Alan Turing — the two men had completely different personalities and ways of looking at the world — Conan Doyle had nonetheless done a superlative job of conveying the impression of Holmes’ brilliance. So how did he do it? Now, the first thing to note about the relationship between Conan Doyle and Holmes is that it was not a friendly one. Conan Doyle loathed Holmes. He regretted having created the character almost instantly after he did so. When the first Holmes story was published, Conan Doyle found himself shocked at his creation’s sudden and massive popularity. Conan Doyle’s more “serious” fiction went ignored as the public demanded more of what he felt were cheap, manipulative mysteries. But audiences kept gobbling the stories up, and Conan Doyle found himself unable to resist the sizable checks coming his way. He kept scribbling, and the public kept buying, and all the while Conan Doyle was dumbfounded. Holmes’s popularity out shown Conan Doyle’s own. It wasn’t his name on everyone’s lips; it was Holmes’s. At one point, Conan Doyle’s own mother sent him a letter, asking if he’d sign a copy of one of the books for a friend of hers. Conan Doyle wrote that he’d be happy to. To which his mother responded happily, asking if he wouldn’t mind signing it “ — Sherlock Holmes.” Even his mother seemed to appreciate Holmes more than she appreciated him. Which only magnified Conan Doyle’s antipathy towards the audience of gullible rubes who were purchasing these tales. Didn’t they know that it was just a trick? Holmes wasn’t a real genius — he was made up! So Conan Doyle wrote a very short piece in which he tried to make plain the “trick” of the Holmes stories. He composed a parody of his own work, as if to show that at least he was in on the joke of Holmes, even if no one else was. The story is actually called “How Watson Learned the Trick,” and it’s not usually published as part of the Holmes canon (you can find it yourself here). Some scholars find the story to be a gentle and affectionate ribbing of the character of Holmes, but to my mind it seems a full-throated mockery of the literary techniques used to create him. It reads as if it was tailor-made to annoy fans. The only thing I can compare it to is the end of The Sopranos, perhaps, in the way that it meta-narratively castigates its audience for enjoying the very work that they are in the act of enjoying. The story begins with Watson and Holmes sitting down to one of their usual breakfasts. Watson gives Holmes a curious look. “I was thinking how superficial are these tricks of yours,” Watson says, “and how wonderful it is that the public should continue to show interest in them.” Holmes agrees with Watson’s assessment. “Your methods,” says Watson, “are really easily acquired.” “No doubt!” responds Holmes, and then he dares Watson to try. Watson takes the bait. He looks Holmes up and down, and he makes a series of Holmesian deductions about what the good Sherlock has been up to. He can tell that Holmes was very preoccupied when he woke up; that he was unsuccessful on a recent case; and that he had recently dabbled in the financial markets. Watson determines all this from the state of Holmes’s shave, an envelope glimpsed upon the breakfast table, and the condition of the morning’s newspaper, respectively. It’s a perfectly rendered Holmesian moment: Watson glances over a bunch of small details, which the reader would naturally ignore, and from these unrelated morsels of information makes a series of brilliant deductions. Only, in this story, there is a twist: Watson is completely wrong about each of his inferences. So to shame both Watson and the reader, Holmes shows how each of the details Watson has observed might be explained by entirely different means. The fact that Holmes hasn’t shaved doesn’t mean that he was preoccupied; it means that he’d lost his razor. And so forth. The same set of mundane observations can be spun an infinite number of ways, to create an infinite number of deductions. So which one is right? The point of the story, I would suggest, is that it’s totally random. Conan Doyle has stacked the deck in Holmes’s favor, so to speak. Anyone in Holmes’ shoes — any reader, even someone just as brilliant as Holmes — could make any number of similar inferences that have equal chances of being correct. All Conan Doyle has to do, as the God of this fictional universe, is to slip Holmes the right ones underneath the table. So what can we learn from Doyle’s mocking explication of his own methods? How should we apply them, as Holmes might say? I’d suggest that the lesson here is openness: Give the audience all of the information. Don’t hold anything back. Doyle’s great discovery is that intelligence is not about the accumulation of data — it’s about deciding what that data means. Holmes has the same tools at his disposal that you do; he almost never possesses information that you don’t. It’s only that he looks at the shared information and sees things that you never could. An analogy might be found in the poker game Texas Hold ’Em, for any reader who plays (I play a lot.) The trick of the game is in some sense that you’re not playing your opponent’s cards — you’re playing the community cards. The real game isn’t in what she knows that you don’t, or what you know that she doesn’t. It’s in what you both know, but you simply deploy to greater affect. Doyle does not portray genius in the say-that-again-in-English way. His moment of genius does not make you think: “Only some crazy egghead would ever think of that!” Doyle makes the reader go: “God, why didn’t I think of that?” And this is one of the things that I found so rewarding in writing about Alan Turing: that trying to convey his intelligence on screen was a democratizing act. That opening his one-of-a-kind mind up on screen was about letting other people in; not about shutting them out. That genius is conveyed by sharing intelligence, not by hoarding it. We’re all in this smart business together, in a sense. Like many stories, this one ends with a funny circularity. My first book had been about a genius novelist: Arthur Conan Doyle. I then wrote a movie about a genius mathematician: Alan Turing. In doing so I used Conan Doyle’s genius for inspiration. And then — after five years and lots of Hollywood twists and turns that could be the subject of another article or two — we finally got to make our Turing film. And who was the actor who gamely strode in the front of the cameras to bring Turing to vivid, passionate life? It was Benedict Cumberbatch, an actor who had just come from playing Sherlock Holmes.	positive
Stock image of a Belgian Malinois. (Photo: Milan Maksic, Getty Images/iStockphoto) POWELL, Wyo. — An Army veteran is asking for a burial with military honors for his dog that was shot and killed outside Powell. Matthew Bessler's 10-year-old Belgian Malinois named Mike was shot and killed last Saturday by a bicyclist who says the dog attacked him. Mike served with Bessler in Iraq in the U.S. Army acting as a combat dog and in bomb detection. When the pair returned from their deployment, Bessler adopted Mike. The dog helped Bessler transition from combat to normal life as he suffered post-traumatic stress disorder. “I raised him and trained him as a puppy, and the ability he has to sense some of the issues that I have with seizures, with my PTSD, my TBI (traumatic brain injury) and severe anxiety disorders, how he can calm me down just by him being in my presence ... He can help take the focus and help change the focus of what’s going on with me and help me calm down or relax me,” Bessler told the Billings Gazette. According to the Powell Tribune, the bicyclist who shot Mike told the sheriff's office that he felt threatened by a pack of dogs that he encountered while on the road. The man said he first used a bicycle as a defense but then grabbed a revolver from his bicycle-mounted holster and shot the dog. However, Bessler — who was out of town at the time of the shooting — disputes the cyclist's account. “If the guy was actually fending the dogs off with a bicycle, (Mike) would have really been barking, and there was no barking," Bessler said. "All there was was just a shot. The guests who were at the house, they said the same thing. There was no barking. It was just a gunshot.” The 59-year-old Powell man who shot Mike has not been cited for any wrongdoing.

Get Price Guide & Catalog << Back To Main Menu Great Gazebo Images Generate More Leads To earn new customers online, you must pass two tests. First, they must be able to find your website. Second, they must like what they see on your website. It sounds simple enough, but most contractors are nowhere near giving consumers the experience they are looking for. Here are a few tips on how you can use gazebo images to make your website’s visitors convert into sales leads. 1. Great Images Only Not every image must be shot by a professional photographer, but every image must look great. While a great image can make your phone ring, a bad image can actually do harm. 2. Buy a Nice Camera ($199+) Some phones take great images, but a typical point-and-shoot camera will beat it every time. The optical zoom of a standard point-and-shoot camera will give you more flexibility to compose great gazebo images. 3. When you shoot, shoot a lot A good image gallery for an outdoor project needs between nine and 16 gazebo images to demonstrate enough details to the visitor. To get 16 good images of an in-ground pool, plan to shoot at least 100 pictures onsite. Take before, during, and after shots of all the work you do. Take photos at wide angles and zoom in; the perspective of each shot can create dramatically different images. Don’t post them all; choose only the best images to share with your visitors. 4. Everything you offer needs images If you sell it, there is somebody looking to buy it. Don’t make visitors ask if you offer a particular service. Show them all that you do in bright, beautiful images. 5. Hire a professional Depending on your type of work, you may only need to do this for your biggest and best projects. Contractors specializing in large custom jobs should factor the cost of professional images into every project they complete. Professional photography can run from $100 to $1500 per shoot; choose the price range that is most appropriate for the work you are doing. There are a lot of great local photographers that can be found on Craigslist. 6. Rename your image files Search engines still cannot understand the content of an image on your website. Renaming files and adding relevant titles, metas, and captions will help search engines lead more customers to your website. 7. Take advantage of free images Most manufacturers offer free images that they have paid a lot of money to create. For example, Amish Country Gazebos offers an extensive gallery of images that can be used by any member of their Preferred Contractor Network. Amish Country Gazebos will even help you create an entire page on your website for free.

Did any of you ever realized those posters on Ford’s wall while he was studying at Backup College? Just look: The first one everyone knows - Tesla. But come on! Look at the other guy. This is Carl Sagan - well known cosmologist, astrophysicist, astronomer and astrobiologist. He was also interested in UFO raports and stuff… But… Let’s look at him. Just look. Isn’t he a meme? But it is not the point of it. Look at his clothes… I mean: Do you see the similarity? Or is it just me? Well… Looks kind of familiar, doesn’t it? ((No, I’m sorry, I had to do that)) But wait… There is something else. Not only the old Ford wears the same clothes as his idol - Carl Sagan. That nerd used to dress himself like Sagan when he was young as well: just look! Isn’t it kind of adorable? AND THIS IS NOT THE END Their clothes are so similar. I can’t help it. Like… Ford is so nerdy. OMG.	positive
“Not again.” That was my first thought when Eugene Peterson’s comments on gay marriage came out. Regardless of the retraction, I knew the next few days would be ugly online. Various think-pieces (good and bad) would come, as would the tweets, the aggressive partisans, and the aggrieved bystanders in the middle, wringing their hands. I don’t have a ton to say about Peterson himself, his comments, or the various reactions. I was frustrated initially, glad for the retraction, and saddened by the whole mess. What struck me during this round, though, was the sense of fatigue. Maybe life online accelerates and magnifies our sense of controversy, especially since most people aren’t on Twitter. Still, it’s easy to get the feeling that we’re in a particularly stressful or conflicted moment in the church, and that this sort of thing will only become more common. A friend of mine summed it up, asking, “Has it always felt so embattled to be in the Church?” To which my response is, “Yes, actually. From the beginning, in fact.” It’s valuable to remember that for a moment. It Has Always Been This Way The New Testament is many things but, in a very real sense, it’s a record of Church conflict. Start with the Gospels. Jesus’s fights with the Pharisees and the Sadducees were matters of Scriptural interpretation and theological dispute: What is the meaning of the Sabbath and the commands? Who is the Messiah and what will the kingdom of God look like? In Galatians, Paul squares off with the Judaizers (and even the apostle Peter) over the shape of the New Covenant that Christ’s work had inaugurated. In the epistles to the Corinthians we find him fighting confused, hyper-spiritual and pagan libertinism. In Colossians, he is dismantling weirdo-Gnostic Syncretism. Similar points could be made in the Catholic letters and the Revelation. In the Patristic Era, we fought over the deity of Christ, the humanity of Christ, the unity of the deity and the humanity of Christ, the deity of the Spirit, the nature of prophecy, the unity of the Old and New Testament, the nature and goodness of creation, the nature of grace and salvation, and the purity of the Church. And those are just the biggies. Next we experienced the Great Schism between East and West and the big ball of yarn involved in that. Moving quickly to the Reformation era (because Protestant), the entire Western church was in an uproar on various fronts. After the initial break, we see the Magisterial Reformers fighting to retrieve and articulate the gospel and a reformed ecclesiology against Rome’s power, as well as to preserve unity amongst themselves (with greater and lesser success), while distinguishing themselves from the Enthusiasts and Radical Reformers. Quickly thereafter, you have the regular conflicts within the communions, such as spats between the Philippists and the Gnesio-Lutherans, or on the Reformed side, the Remonstrants and the Orthodox. Oh, and this was with the Ottoman Empire knocking on Europe’s door. Over the next couple of centuries you can easily jump into the conflicts in the churches precipitated by Enthusiastic popular movements, Pietism, Enlightenment Rationalists, the rise of historical criticism, or the role of nationalism and the State. Jump ahead and over to the US, after various controversies surrounding both Great Awakenings, as well as the damning, ecclesial conflict over slavery, we could always spend some time covering the fights between the Fundamentalists and Modernists over Scripture, miracles, and so forth. Each of these paragraphs are only the smallest snippets of wide-ranging, serious, theological conflict and debate that has always been a part of Church history, East and West, Protestant and Catholic, down on into today. So, yes, it has always been this way. As the hymn has it, to look at the history of the Church is to see “her sore oppressed/ By schisms rent asunder/ By heresies distressed,” all of which leads the saints to ask, “how long?” The answer, apparently, is “until Jesus comes back.” Mere, Costly Fidelity Which leaves us with the question of how to live in with the reality that theological conflict is a constant in the Church? How do we pastor, preach, teach, write, and just go about the business of being the Church in the World under such conditions? I have no grand solution. I do think there are a few things to keep in mind. First, theological indifferentism isn’t an option here. I’m all for broadmindedness and having a proper sense of differently-tiered importance of various doctrines. Still, in general, decisions eventually must be made. And on indifferentism about gender and sexuality, Jake, I think, has summed up the problem: Because the particular issue at stake here (sexuality) is central to human existence, you can’t really afford to pretend the issue isn’t important. Either it is okay to be in a same-sex relationship or it is not. Either way, your answer to that question will have enormous spiritual and existential ramifications. Because it fails to recognize this fact, indifferentism of this sort ends up doing real damage to many people. In any case, you can’t avoid it forever—the question will come find you. Second, it’s important to recognize fidelity to the gospel has always been a personally costly, confusing, and tenuous thing. Looking at the debates in Church history, you realize that’s rarely been a straightforward story of black hats and white hats. We think of it that way in retrospect, and sometimes it was, but often it was more muddled for those in the middle of it. Many of the names we associate with heresies (Arius, Nestorius) were known in their congregations as respected, godly churchmen, while some of the Church’s heroes were known as ruffians and brawlers (Athanasius, Cyril, Luther). Preserving the truth of the Scriptures may end up leaving you in the company of “saints” who “give you the willies”, against opponents who have all of your personal sympathy. We find ironic turns, as well. Apollinarianism, the heresy that denied Jesus Christ’s human nature had a human mind, takes its name from Apollinaris of Laodicea. Apollinaris was devoted to the Scriptures and a stalwart defender of Nicaea against the Arians. It seems he pushed so hard for for the deity of Christ, though, that he ended up butchering his humanity. A hero in one conflict may become a heretic in the next. Even worse, often the disputes were between former friends, beloved students and teachers. One of the great Cappadocian Fathers, Basil of Caesaria, had the unpleasant task of defending the deity of the Holy Spirit against the attacks of his former teacher and mentor, Eustathius of Sebaste. The man who mentored him in his own personal spirituality ended up turning against both orthodoxy and Basil, leaving his student the task of challenging someone who had been a spiritual father to him. Many of us will see that day in our own ministries. There isn’t a clear lesson here except that our fidelity to Biblical and historic orthodoxy needs to be rooted beyond the names of admirable but fallible human heroes. History is messy. Church history seems messier. Maybe that’s why Paul is so forceful with the Galatians, telling them that even if he himself or an angel came preaching a different gospel, a divine curse should befall them (Gal. 1:8). At first that strikes you as a bit of hyperbole—and in the moment it sort of is. But given Paul’s wise self-knowledge, his tendency to leave off judgement of his own works before God’s judgment (1 Cor. 4:1-6), it seems more like he wanted to prepare his people against the possibility he could walk away as he had seen others do in his own ministry. For Paul, his people’s commitment to the gospel, to Christ, had to be rooted deeper in their souls than their attachment to him. The encouragement, I suppose, is that we’ve been here before. We have not, to my knowledge, entered into some new eschatological end time inaugurated by the 1970s, the Clinton years, Obergefell, Trump, or Caitlyn Jenner’s Time cover. God and his purposes for the Church are the same as they have always been. As the same hymn has it: The Church shall never perish! Her dear Lord, to defend, To guide, sustain, and cherish, Is with her to the end. Though there be those that hate her. False sons within her pale, Against both foe and traitor She ever shall prevail. The call, then, is to recognize this, put our hands to plough, and pray to the Lord he will preserve us as we work to serve her. Even in times such as these—same as they’ve always been.	positive

News Ready Notable News Ground Zero Subscribe Democratic Candidate Caught Buying ‘Fake News’ Ads to Sway Election (NewsReady.com) – On November 2, Virginia voters will head to the polls to elect their next governor. Democrat Terry McAuliffe, who served in the role from 2014 to 2018, is hoping to beat Republican Glenn Youngkin. He’s being accused of using questionable tactics to win the race. According to a Fox News report, the Democrat spent almost $100,000 on advertising on “fake news” websites on Facebook. The ads are reportedly hidden on a Facebook page called “The Download Virginia,” which is similar to a news organization’s name. McAuliffe launched the page in June and hasn’t posted anything. Instead, the candidate is using the page’s advertisements to target voters. People have viewed the ads more than 3.5 million times. Terry McAuliffe is so desperate, he's resorted to using fake news websites for his campaign ads. “The websites have been widely described as disinformation and ‘partisan propaganda.’”⁰https://t.co/RyrOtQlIyZ — America Rising (@AmericaRising) October 27, 2021 While most of them included links to mainstream news articles that covered McAuliffe’s campaign, “fake news” websites were mixed into the ads. For example, one lined to the hyper-partisan site The Dogwood, which masquerades as a legitimate news site. In reality, it’s funded by a liberal dark money group. Ironically, the Democratic National Committee has rules against its members posting misinformation. The organization claims it fights against it, but McAuliffe must have missed that message.

Macro Photography – Fujifilm XF60mmF2.4 & MCEX-11 \| Greg Cromie Photography Show Menu Welcome Profile Blogs Galleries Contact Client Access Greg Cromie Photography Macro Photography – Fujifilm XF60mmF2.4 & MCEX-11 By gregcromie Since my return from Tokyo towards the end of August I have been in a considerable slump when it comes to my photography. I have not felt inspired or motivated to get out and capture any street photography. And what little I did capture has been as a result of having my Fujifilm X70 camera in my bag with me. The joy has just not been there. Speaking to my photography friends allows me to see that this is not uncommon. Many of us get into a creative funk in one form or another from time to time. So what to do? I decided to try something new by getting up close and personal with my subjects….I am of course talking about macro photography. Fujifilm XF60mmF2.4 and MCEX-11 Macro Extension Tube Previously, when I shot with Canon gear, I had a macro lens and mostly photographed plants and moss and bugs. Nothing terribly original or overly exciting. Then moving to Fujifilm gear I didn’t pick up a macro lens as I was mostly focused on street photography. Fujifilm introduced the XF60mmF2.4 macro lens way back in the early days of the Fujifilm X Series. It is not a true 1:1 macro lens but a 1:2 ratio instead. But it was the only offering, until very recently, in the macro class. Then a few weeks ago Fujifilm announced the highly anticipated release of the XF80mmF2.8 macro lens and let me tell you, that thing looks like a beast. Similar in size to the XF90mmF2 for those that have experience with this lens. It is also the first Fujifilm prime lens to have OIS or image stabilisation. And this will be a true 1:1 macro lens. It is not available for purchase just yet but any day now it will be. Fujifilm XF35mmF2 with the MCEX-11 attached With my new found focus (pardon the pun) in attempting some macro photography, I went a little old school and picked up a Fujifilm MCEX-11 Macro Extension Tube. In early 2015 Fujifilm released two macro extension tubes. The MCEX-11 and the MCEX-16. They are often referred to as a tube of air as these tubes don’t actually have any glass in them at all. They are merely a ring that creates a greater distance between the sensor inside the camera and the front glass element of the lens you have the ring attached to. This in turn allows you to achieve a far smaller focal distance between your subject and the front of the lens. The Fujifilm macro extension tubes are exceptionally well built and are solid and sturdy when attached to both the lens and the body of the camera. They lock into place on the lens with a locking mechanism that has to be engaged to remove the ring from the lens. There are connection points that allow for data to pass between the lens and the camera and also for auto focus and aperture to work effectively. Fujifilm XF50mmF2 with the MCEX-11 attached. In short the MCEX-11 and MCEX-16 allow you to turn a non-macro lens into a macro lens of sorts. You can even stack the two MCEX macro extension tubes together. Personally I don’t think this is necessary. With the MCEX-11 and the Fujifilm X-T2 camera body, I tested a number of X Series lenses – notably the Fujifilm F2 trinity: XF23mmF2, XF35mmF2 and XF50mmF2. Personally I found that the XF50mmF2 lens was the best performer and easiest to obtain focus with the MCEX-11 attached. I have included some images for you below as well as a brief explanation of minimal focal distance with and without the MCEX-11 attached. XF50mmF2 has a minimal focal distance of approximately 39cm. With the MCEX-11 attached this dropped to approximately 15cm. XF35mmF2 has a minimal focal distance of approximately 35cm. With the MCEX-11 attached this dropped to approximately 10cm and at times was challenging to achieve clear focus. The XF23mmF2 has a minimal focal distance of approximately 22cm. With the MCEX-11 attached this dropped to less than 5cm and was the most difficult to achieve a clear focus on the subject given the close proximity. As a result of having to get so close, my lens was creating shadow against the object and I was not able to get a clear shot. Also the slightest movement toward or away from the subject made achieving focus near impossible. Another very important point to be aware of when using the MCEX-11 is that the depth of field becomes paper thin. At F2, any 3D object will have a very fine point that is sharp and in focus. Then the the focus will drop off and become very soft very fast towards the back of the object. As a result, I found that the best outcomes were achieved when I shot at F16, the smallest aperture on any of the F2 trinity of lenses. Also using a tripod made a huge difference to achieving clear focus versus hand held. Fujifilm XF60mmF2.4. Fujifilm XF60mmF2.4 with the MCEX-11 attached. And that brings us to the performance and capabilities of the Fujifilm XF60mmF2.4. The X Series first macro lens. Well it is a solid little lens with the usual high standard of build quality expected of Fujifilm. The front element of the lens actually moves back and forward externally to achieve focus. And that is a bit of a problem. The auto focus on this lens is slow and the lenses can hunt back and forward for focus. With that front element extending and retracting it can be tough to nab a clear shot when out and about trying to capture a flower swaying in a slight breeze or a bug on the move. Granted this is one of the first lenses Fujifilm released for the X Series so the technology is older. I also took some test shots with the XF60mmF2.4 with the MCEX-11 attached. This resulted in a minimal focal distance similar to using the XF50mmF2 with the MCEX-11 attached but a much more compact image. And the clarity in the image is great. Fujifilm XF60mmF2.4. Fujifilm XF60mmF2.4. Of course the added benefit of the XF60mmF2 lens is that it has also been known to be quite a suitable portrait lens in good lighting conditions. This makes the lens quite a versatile addition to a kit especially if you like to dabble in a little bit of everything. As I mentioned earlier, the XF60mmF2 I used is a loan lens. So I will shortly be returning it to its owner. I don’t have any regrets about this nor do I have a need to rush out and buy my own copy of this lens. For the minimal amount of macro work I do I feel that the MCEX-11 attached to either the XF50mmF2 or the XF35mmF2 is enough. From a cost perspective, for the odd macro shoot, the Macro Extension Tube is by far a more affordable option. They retail for around $120.00 each in Australia versus the XF60mmF2.4 macro that retails for well over $500.00. And don’t forget that the beastly XF80mmF2.8 true 1:1 macro lens is due out any day. Who knows, perhaps that will be a part of my kit one day too. Fujifilm XF60mmF2.4.

For some time now, conventional wisdom has claimed that young people don’t care about privacy. As it happens, that conventional wisdom had always been, at best, an oversimplification. By now, it is simply wrong. The kids are all right: A Pew Research study says that “young adults generally are more focused than their elders when it comes to online privacy.” To begin with, though, a clarifying question: What do you mean by “young people”? For example, three recently published studies on youth and privacy assess different age groups. In a recent survey called “The State of Privacy in Post-Snowden America,” the Pew Research Trust brackets 18-to-29-year-olds as “young adults.” Another recent study, titled “Keeping Up with Generation App,” by the National Cyber Security Alliance, surveyed 13-to-17-year-olds. And in a third, described in an article titled “What Can I Really Do?’ Explaining the Privacy Paradox with Online Apathy” (published in the International Journal of Communication), researchers Eszter Hargittai and Alice Marwick examine “‘young adults’ understanding of Internet privacy issues” — based on data gathered from focus groups with participants aged 19-35. When people talk about young people and privacy, it’s useful, first, to point out that the privacy-related attitudes, concerns and practices of 13-year-olds are, as you might imagine, quite different from those of 35-year-olds. Still, what the three studies cited above all demonstrate is that people between 13 and 35 do care about keeping some control over their information, and take measures to protect their privacy online, even as they sense that most such measures are imperfect solutions. It may surprise you to find out that 60 percent of the teens surveyed for the NCSA report “say they have created accounts that their parents were unaware of, such as on a social media site or for an app.” That is a privacy-protective measure: When it comes to privacy violations, the people teens are most worried about are their parents. As the report notes, “teens greatly value having some level of privacy from their parents when using the internet.” The older “young people” surveyed by Hargittai and Marwick report that they deploy a wide variety of privacy-protective measures: “Using different sites and apps for different purposes, configuring settings on social media sites, using pseudonyms in certain situations, switching between multiple accounts, turning on incognito options in their browsers, opting out of certain apps of sites, deleting cookies and even using Do-Not-Track browser plugins and password-management apps.” How many “older adults” do such things? “We’re not an oversharing generation. We’re a generation that’s over sharing — done, finished, kaput, through.” The Pew Research study notes that “young adults generally are more focused than their elders when it comes to online privacy.” That study asked about some privacy-protective strategies, as well: Among the 18-to-29-year-olds surveyed, 74 percent said they had cleared cookies and browser histories, 71 percent had deleted or edited something they had posted, 49 percent had configured their browsers to reject cookies, 42 percent had decided not to use certain sites that demanded their real names, and 41 percent had used temporary user names or email addresses. In each of those categories, the younger users surpassed their elders. The Pew report does also note that younger adults “are more likely to have shared personal information online” — but then, they grew up with the opportunity to do so, an opportunity their elders didn’t have. At Santa Clara University, my colleague Laura Robinson and I have also done several informal small-scale surveys trying to gauge students’ attitudes toward online privacy and their awareness of ways in which they might protect it. Recently, for example, we asked a group of 26 students, all of whom were between 18 and 24 years old, about managing privacy on social media. (Needless to say, they were surveyed anonymously.) Of those, 92 percent reported having monitored and adjusted their privacy settings, 70 percent had used different social media platforms to communicate with different groups, 42 percent had limited the number of friends/connections they had on each particular platform, 42 percent had also chosen not to use certain platforms at all due to privacy reasons, and 31 percent had installed ad blockers that prevent online tracking. More startlingly, perhaps, 92 percent reported that they limit the kinds of things they post online. This echoes one of the findings of the Hargittai/Marwick study: “While virtually all of our participants had adopted different approaches to protecting privacy, the only widely agreed-upon technique was self-censoring, or leaving information off the Internet entirely.” Hargittai and Marwick add that “as users understand their lack of control over their information [online], they retreat in certain ways when it comes to sharing.” For most of us, attitudes about the sharing of personal information change as we get older. As Bianka Bosker notes in “The Oversharers are Over Sharing”: My generation, the first on Facebook, was supposed to grow into a noisy army of oversharers. Raised on a steady diet of social media TMI, we were expected to lump fuddy-duddy ideas about privacy and discretion in with bell-bottoms and shoulder pads. ... At the rate we were going back then, and judging by the way adults rolled their eyes at us, we should be broadcasting from the bathroom by now. But when I poke through 10 years of Facebook, I see something else altogether. We’re not an oversharing generation. We’re a generation that’s over sharing — done, finished, kaput, through. … All the chatty candor and hyperactive disclosure of our early years on Facebook now look like just another kind of youthful indulgence. As it turns out, though, that “youthful indulgence” might have been a temporary luxury. It’s not just getting older that makes us less chatty and less likely to disclose ourselves; better understanding of the current internet environment makes young people wary, too, even when they wish they could say more. In fact, young people might now be rolling their eyes at their elders. Irina Raicu is the director of the Internet Ethics program at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, Santa Clara University.

With Brandon Coleman and Quron Pratt moving on to the Sunday game, Rutgers was left without much experience in the wide receiver group. Fortunately, the Scarlet Knights are getting help in the form of fifth-year transfer Andrew Turzilli. Turzilli, a Butler, NJ native, graduated this past May and will eligible for the inaugural B1G season. He is listed at 6'3", 195 lbs and had 27 catches for 491 yards and two touchdowns for his career. He also made the 2013 and 2012 All-Big 12 Academic Team, so he'll fit right in at RU. EDIT: Turzilli is still not officially on the RU roster as of yet. Confirmation of his joining the team has not been released, but Rutgers is his most likely destination. His numbers may not pop out at you, but there is no doubt that more experience is needed to help out the receiving corps. Tyler Kroft and Leonte Carroo will most likely be the leaders for the group, but after them there's a big dropoff in production and experience. Ruhann Peele flashed some great moments, but he's still a young prospect. Carlton Agudosi might have the size to accommodate for losing Coleman, but so far he's even more inconsistent than Brandon. Andre Patton and Janarion Grant are both talented as well, but on-field production is still lacking. There's a lot of promise in the group, but you can't discount legitimate in-game experience, and Turzilli brings that to the team. Welcome back to Jersey, Andrew.	positive

Washington's defense, led by it's ferocious line, allowed 3.5 yards per rush this season, best in the Pac-12. Photo by Jesse Beals/Icon Sportswire 1. Washington: The Huskies were transcendent up front when pass-rush specialist Joe Mathis was healthy, racking up 24 sacks through the first six games while stonewalling the run. Most of Washington's quarterback pressure came without the assistance of extra blitzes from the second level, making the work of Elijah Qualls, Greg Gaines, and Vita Vea all the more impressive. Though Mathis' injury hurt the Huskies' rush, they still allowed only 3.5 yards per rush this season, a league low. 2. Utah: The Utes always seem to pack a serious punch up front, and 2016 has been no different. "Sack Lake City" returned: Utah led the Pac-12 with 40 sacks. Hunter Dimick paced the team with 14.5, but Lowell Lotulelei -- a surefire professional talent -- deserves his share of the credit for occupying and beating double teams all season long. Utah wasn't as good against the run as Washington, but the Utes allowed a steady 4.0 yards per carry. 3. Colorado: The preseason version of these rankings noted that the Buffs were maturing up front, and that continued to be the case this season. Let's chart Colorado's improvement: In 2014, the Buffs bled a league-worst 5.6 yards carry. Last season, they cut that number to 5.0 yards per rush. In 2016, the figure stands at 4.0 -- a testament to the impact that 325-pound stalwart Josh Tupou's return had on the lineup. Jordan Carrell, Samson Kafovalu, and Leo Jackson also delivered productive seasons, setting the table for pass-rush specialist Jimmie Gilbert. 4. USC: The glaring preseason question marks here extended well into September, especially after Stanford's Christian McCaffrey averaged more than 5.0 rushing yards before contact and Utah converted fourth downs at will against the Trojans. But USC's rebuilt unit stiffened once October arrived. By the time it was over, the Trojans allowed only 3.8 yards per rush in league play -- the best mark in the Pac-12. Porter Gustin (12 tackles for loss), often lined up in a three-point stance, was the biggest beneficiary of new defensive coordinator Clancy Pendergast's scheme. 5. Washington State: Hercules Mata'afa came through with a banner season highlighted by 12.5 tackles for loss. He led the way as the Cougars had to overcome the temporary loss caused by Robert Barber's suspension. Daniel Ekuale also played well in the trenches, helping Washington State make a significant improvement in run defense: The Cougars allowed 4.9 yards per carry in 2015, but only 4.1 yards per rush in 2016. 6. Stanford: Solomon Thomas (13 tackles for loss) delivered the elite season that he was expected to, and he anchored this Cardinal line alongside Harrison Phillips. Stanford was itching for more production from the rest of its players here a year after graduating both Aziz Shittu and Brennan Scarlett. Though that didn't necessarily come statistically, Jordan Watkins and Dylan Jackson complemented Thomas and Phillips, and the unit held up decently well. 7. UCLA: This was an immensely disappointing season for the Bruins, but their touted defensive line actually played fairly well -- especially if one discounts the October disaster against Utah, in which the Utes racked up 360 rushing yards. Aside from that game, UCLA was sturdy, allowing fewer than 4.0 yards per carry. The Bruins enjoyed a monster season from Takkarist McKinley (18 tackles for loss), and they certainly benefited from Eddie Vanderdoes' return on the interior. It's impossible to fully erase that one stinker, though. 8. Arizona State: JoJo Wicker, Tashon Smallwood, Viliami Latu, and Renell Wren are all productive players -- they combined for 33 tackles for loss -- but the Sun Devils' boom-or-bust defense busted too often. Arizona State couldn't control the line of scrimmage at critical junctures, suffering its most embarrassing failure when Arizona averaged 10.7 yards per rush in the Territorial Cup. 9. California: Cameron Saffle, James Looney, DeVante Wilson, and Tony Mekari combined for 25.5 tackles for loss, and Looney sealed the goal-line stand to beat Utah, but the Golden Bears allowed a horrific 6.2 yards per carry -- worst in the nation. Sure, much blame falls on a depleted linebacker corps, but that's bad for the line regardless. 10. Arizona: The vast majority of the Wildcats' defensive production came from the back levels of their defense. Sani Fuimaono, the line's leading tackler, ranked way down at No. 15 on the team in that category with only 14 stops. Parker Zellers did deliver three sacks, but there wasn't much else to write home about for a unit that gave up 5.0 yards per rush during conference play. 11. Oregon State: The Beavers received very little statistical production from their defensive line, as Phillip Napoleon led the way for the unit with only 11 stops. Oregon State allowed 5.3 yards per rush -- worse than last season -- and that's something that needs addressing for bowl eligibility to become a realistic goal in 2017. 12. Oregon: This had 'ouch' written all over it for the Ducks: They gave up 6.1 yards per carry in league play. Sophomore Justin Hollins registered 9.5 tackles for loss in front of explosive freshman linebacker Troy Dye, but the unit as a whole didn't succeed. Formerly touted prospect Canton Kaumatule retired in November. Here's how the defensive lines were viewed in our preseason rankings of Pac-12 front sevens.	positive

At the home of Buddy Williams in Landrum, S.C. on June 22, 2013, he held classes on Bee Keeping. And upon completion the student will be a certified bee keeper. Bees in the hive. (AP Photo/Spartanburg Herald-Journal, John Byrum) ORG XMIT: SCSPA103 (Photo11: JOHN BYRUM AP) Story Highlights 30,000 bees attacked the couple Kristen Beauregard was stung 200 times, her boyfriend about 50 Two miniature horses were killed PANTEGO, Texas (AP) — A swarm of about 30,000 bees has attacked a North Texas couple as they exercised their miniature horses, stinging the animals so many times they died. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports 44-year-old Kristen Beauregard was stung about 200 times and her boyfriend about 50 times. Beauregard says the swarm chased them down and followed them. She says they were sweeping up piles of bees "like a bad movie." She says firefighters sprayed a foam substance to clear the bees, and dragged the horses to a pasture to be treated by police and paramedics. A 6-year-old show horse died before a veterinarian arrived. A Shetland pony spent a night at a veterinary clinic but also died. The bees are being tested to see whether they are Africanized or "killer" bees. Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
