BDS is a call by more than 170 Palestinian civil societies, first issued in 2005, http://bdsmovement.net/call for global solidarity and Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel.
What is the inspiration for BDS?
BDS is inspired by the South African anti-apartheid movement. Indeed, Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu of South Africa, Nobel Laureate 1984, who fought so long and so vigorously against apartheid in South Africa, supports BDS. Tutu has said that the situation in Palestine reminds him of conditions in apartheid South Africa: https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/south-african-church-leaders-endorse-israeli-apartheid-week
What are the goals of BDS?
That Israel meets its obligation to recognise the Palestinian people's inalienable right to self-determination and fully complies with the precepts of international law by:
1. Ending its occupation and colonization of all Arab lands and dismantling the Wall 2. Recognizing the fundamental rights of the Arab-Palestinian citizens of Israel to full equality; and 3. Respecting, protecting and promoting the rights of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes and properties as stipulated in UN resolution 194
BDS against Israel is by specific political parties or politicians.
No. BDS Malaysia is a non-partisan movement, part of a global movement. BDS Malaysia does not involve itself with partisan Malaysian politics, whether BN, PAS, PKR, DAP, Amanah, or others. Similarly, the BDS movement globally is a non-partisan movement that has been embraced by scholars, activists, non-governmental organisations, municipalities, pension funds.
Is BDS against Jews?
No, BDS is NOT against Jews. Indeed, in 2014, over 200 Jewish activists issued a statement calling for the dismantling of Israel's apartheid regime, throughout historic Palestine, in solidarity with the Palestinian call for BDS ( http://mondoweiss.net/2014/07/jews-apartheid-israel )
Is BDS anti-semitic?
No, BDS is not anti-semitic. The Palestinian BDS National Committee (BNC) is explicitly anti-racist. Omar Barghouti, a leading Palestinian figure in the BDS movement, "BDS is a universalist movement that categorically opposes all forms of racism, including Islamophobia and anti-Semitism. This is not negotiable. We should never welcome racists in our midst, no matter what."
Yonatan Shapira, an ex-Israeli air force pilot has said, "I'm a member of Boycott from Within –people from Israeli society who support boycott…I look at the guidelines of the BDS movement, and I feel totally comfortable".
Isn't boycotting Israel, but using Facebook, or a product from a company founded by a Jewish person hypocritical?
BDS uses boycott as a tactic to pressure Israel, for example by targeting companies that work with the state of Israel to oppress Palestinians. BDS does NOT target all Jews worldwide, nor companies founded by Jews simply because they were founded by Jews.
Yes, I oppose Israel's actions, but why aren't you boycotting the United States or other countries that do bad things?
BDS against Israel is a specific tactical call by Palestinian civil society. Supporting BDS does not mean supporting, or not supporting, other boycotts. When deciding on whether to support a boycott, the boycott should be assessed on its own merits. Supporting BDS against Israel does not mean that one cannot also oppose injustices elsewhere. As Nelson Mandela explained, "boycott is not a principle, it is a tactic depending on circumstances"
Additionally, with Palestine, as with South Africa in the past, we have a call by those suffering oppression for boycott. Palestinian society has asked the world to support this non-violent method.
Yes I oppose Israel's actions, but a boycott would undermine attempts to change Israeli society from within.
There are courageous people in Israel who oppose their state's actions, for example, Israeli human rights organisations such as B'Tselem. We want to support these people. As stated above, BDS does NOT target Jews. Nor does BDS target all Israelis. However, Israelis in the state of Israel have to realise that actions have consequences, and that their state cannot continue to act with impunity. BDS is a non-violent method to pressure the state of Israel, to demonstrate that actions have consequences. The very purpose of non-violent direct action tactics such as boycott is to compel a community that has constantly refused to negotiate in good faith, to do so. If one opposes violence, and also opposes BDS, then what else is left?
Boycotting Israelis, for example Israeli athletes, for the actions of the Israeli state is not fair.
This misunderstands what BDS is about. BDS does not target individual Israelis. It targets Israel, its institutions, and representatives in all fields. Companies that operate in Israel, especially in support of the Israeli state and its oppression of Palestinians, are also targeted. Individual Israeli athletes, who are not representing Israel, for example, an Israeli playing professionally for a European football club, are not targeted.
Yes I oppose Israel's actions but sports and politics should not mix.
It is not possible to have normal sport in a society under occupation.
Palestinian national team member Mahmoud Sarsak was detained for 3 years without trial or charge. Zakaria Issa, a striker in Palestinian national team was sentenced to 16 years imprisonment in 2003. Muhammad Nimr a striker in the Palestinian youth football team was detained from 2007 to 2009. https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/adri-nieuwhof/how-israel-derails-promising-careers-palestinian-football-stars
Furthermore, the movement Palestinian athletes, as with all Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territories, is highly restricted, via the system of checkpoints, ID cards, permits. Commuting is time-consuming, and very difficult, due to often arbitrary decisions by individual Israeli soldiers. Therefore, even going to sports training daily can be extremely difficult for Palestinian athletes. It has been estimated that Palestinians lose 3 million working hours per day to travel (American Anthropological Association Task Force Israel Palestine, 2015)
Yes I oppose Israel's actions but academia, and academic freedom of speech, should not be affected by politics, no?
The effects of Israeli occupation and oppression of Palestinian academia are many and severe. Do Palestinian scholars not have the same rights to academic freedom as Israeli scholars? Most offensive of all to academic freedom, Israel controls books that enter the occupied Palestinian territories, and does not refrain from bombing universities and schools in Gaza.
As with all Palestinians in the occupied Palestinian territories, Palestinian academics face severe restrictions on movement via the system of checkpoints, permits, ID cards. This, for example, makes field work impossible.
Additionally, this severe restriction of movement, and blockade, makes it almost impossible for Palestinians from one area, for example Gaza, to study in another, for example the West Bank. Therefore, Palestinian universities are becoming "provincial", losing the broad diverse student and academic body that is a fundamental characteristic of universities. Whereas there are now no Gazans studying at Birzeit University in the West Bank, 20% of students used to be from Gaza. Also, students from Gaza studying at Bethlehem University have been prevented from doing so.
The severe restrictions on movement also obviously make travel abroad difficult for Palestinian students and academics. This is compounded by restrictions on the entry of foreign scholars to Palestine by Israel. Therefore, in total, Palestinian scholars are prevented from engaging with each other and the world, fundamental aspects of academia.
The entry of research equipment, spare parts, and material, is also tightly controlled by the Israeli government, making scientific research essentially impossible.
Finally, to date, not a single Israeli university has protested the ongoing destruction of Palestinian education by the Israeli government, whereas every Israeli university supported the 2014 bombing of Gaza (https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/warrior-students-how-israeli-universities-are-supporting-war-crimes-gaza)
Surely art & culture should not be politicised?
In human society, art and culture are essential parts of politics, politics is an essential part of art and culture. Culture does not, and cannot, stand aloof in a vacuum. Indeed, the Israeli government uses culture as a tool, as demonstrated by the Israeli Foreign Ministry in 2005, "we see culture as a propaganda tool of the first rank, … do not distinguish between propaganda and culture".
Palestinian cultural events have been forcibly cancelled, cinemas, theatres, cultural centres have been repeatedly ransacked, closed down on various spurious reasons, in a deliberate attempt by the Israeli government to silence the Palestinian cultural voice. For example, the Palestinian National Theatre, El-Hakawati, the only theatre in Jerusalem / Al-Quds that caters to Palestinians has long been targeted as part of the Israeli government's attempt to undermine Palestinian heritage and culture. http://www.al-monitor.com/pulse/originals/2015/12/palestinian-national-theatre-el-hakawati-east-jerusalem.html#
The Palestinian vs Israeli issue is complicated, both sides have done bad things?
This FAQ is not the appropriate place for a long discussion of the Israeli occupation of Palestine, for that see, for example, http://www.ifamericansknew.org/history/ Instead, this FAQ's focus is on current events, and the need for BDS.
The Israeli sociologist Baruch Kimmerling has described Israel's oppression of Palestinians as "politicide", "a process that has its ultimate goal the dissolution of the Palestinian people's existence as a legitimate social, political and economic entity".
The repeated attacks, and continuing blockade, against Gaza, even to the extent of targeting hospitals and ambulances, murdering professors (eg Dr Bashir Al-Hajjar, assistant professor of nursing, murdered whilst travelling in a UNRWA vehicle) in 2014, are only the most overt examples of Israeli aggression.
More insidious are the checkpoints restricting movement, unequal access to and seizure of land and water, the demolition of Palestinian homes, the Israeli settlements and settler only roads, the destruction of centuries, even millennium old Palestinian olive groves, the torture, the imprisonment of children, detention without trial: including of members of the Palestinian Legislative Council
Should Malaysians visit Israel?
BDS does not encourage visits to Israel. Israel's regime gains from their visit legitimacy and uses it to erode the official boycott of their state, using these visitors as a back door towards normalization. Regardless of the noble intention of individuals or the benefit Palestinians may gain from Muslim and/or Arab brothers and sisters, or anyone in solidarity with Palestinians, supporting the tiny Palestinian economy in Jerusalem — and therefore contributing to their steadfastness in the occupied city — the harm done outstrips these benefits, especially the political normalization aspect.
What are the criteria for deciding on boycott targets, which corporations to be boycotted?
When boycott is used a tactic, and not as a principle, firstly, a key criterion is the degree of complicity of a corporation with the Israeli Zionist regime, whether the corporation works directly, hand in glove, with the Israeli Zionist regime to oppress Palestinians for example. Another criterion would be the potential for success. Linked to that is the potential for forming a broad, cross-movement coalition, across the entirety of Malaysian society, such that the boycott would be supported by Malaysian society as a whole. It should always be remembered that boycott is used as a tactic to force the Israeli regime to comply with the goals of BDS: ending the occupation, equality, right of return.
You have made many assertions in this FAQ, can you supply evidence for them?
This FAQ is not meant to be an academic paper, however, references can be supplied on request. Briefly, the assertions in this FAQ have been sourced primarily from Palestinian and Israeli human rights organisations and activists, and the American Anthropological Association Task Force Israel Palestine, 2015.

First memories of Ireland's Own
The strap line for Ireland's Own is The week wouldn't be the same without it! That is certainly true for the thousands of people across the world that take time and make time to read the magazine from cover to cover every week.
Ireland's Own has been a stable in my granny's for as far back as I can remember. As a child I loved it, it was easy to read and it was very interesting. We spent hours going through it, colouring, reading the stories and learning. We as children read the funnies aloud and the adults chatted about interesting articles. I remember vividly the bumper Christmas edition, the cover full of sparkle and colour enhancing the excitement of Christmas. Everyone in my granny's house (7/8) per day, and those who visited, always picked it up for a flick through. To this day my granny has it set aside for collection every week without fail. Ireland's Own holds a very special place many hearts and none more than my granny's and mine.
About Ireland's Own since 1902.
Ireland's Own magazine is the longest running Irish family magazine. A special and unique, cross generational and what is aptly described as; a phenomenon established in 1902. The original aim 116 years old was to entertain, educate and inform the people in Ireland. With something for everyone, the fun filled magazine continues to feature fascinating, educational articles, exciting fiction, puzzles for the children as well as in-depth stories on a variety of aspects of Irish Life, History, Literature, Science, Sport and Entertainment; Ireland's older community are also featured in a Memories Section recalling their young days and people who made a lasting impression growing up. And not forgetting the section devoted to words of wisdom.
Best Selling Ireland's Own
It is no wonder that Ireland's Own is now a best-selling magazine. In a world of fake news, gloss and aggressive advertising. Ireland's Own has remained true and committed to the original values going back 116 years ago. The magazine continues to give the people of Ireland a uniquely genuine and hugely entertaining weekly magazine.
Ireland's Own connecting families across the world.
I am very grateful to Ireland's Own who afforded me the opportunity to connect through the magazine with Don McMillan (RIP), an American/Irish wise gentleman living in California. His mantra during his life, "If God is for you, who can be against you".
Ireland's Own is on all of the social media platforms, for website please visit: Ireland's treasure magazine
Don't forget if you have a witty Irish saying you heard, I would love to hear from you.

Brian Moynihan, Bank of America
Bank of America said loans in its business segments grew by 5 percent to $864 billion on a year-over-year basis.
"Our responsible growth model continues to deliver consistent results," CEO Brian Moynihan said in a statement. "Strong client activity, coupled with a growing global economy and solid U.S. consumer activity, led to record quarterly earnings."
Bank of America also said revenue for its consumer banking business climbed 9 percent to $9 billion, driven by a 13 percent spike in net interest income in the segment.
Revenue for equities trading rose 38 percent $1.5 billion, helping offset a 13 percent decline in fixed income trading. Equities trading likely got a boost from an uptick in stock-market volatility last quarter as investors fretted over inflationary and political concerns.
Bank of America added that legislation passed last year helped drive its effective tax rate down by 9 percentage points.
"I thought they were pretty good results," Jeff Harte, analyst at Sandler O'Neill, told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Monday. "Net net, I think we're seeing progress where we need to see progress and BofA should keep chugging along higher, in my opinion."
The company's stock was down slightly in early trading Monday. Bank of America shares are up about 1 percent for the year, outperforming rival Citigroup, which is down 4.6 percent in 2018.
Earnings season kicked off last week with J.P. Morgan Chase, Citigroup and Wells Fargo reporting better-than-expected quarterly results.
Correction: An earlier version misstated Bank of America's revenue for consumer banking for the first quarter. It was $9 billion.

This has been discussed often before. The reason that there's no LTE in a camera is that while there are people who will pay a premium to have a better camera on their smartphone (often bundled with other premium features), relatively few would look forward to shelling out $50+ every month for a big data plan for their camera.It took them until recently to even add basic WiFi functionality to their cameras, some super-basic bluetooth and NFC, typically implemented very poorly with totally inadequate protocol support.
4G/LTE cell capability not present in a single camera in late 2018. Why?! Module available for something like 5 bucks.
I agree that better connectivity with a smartphone would be great. However, it's not going to happen, because neither Bluetooth and WiFi are ideal. Even Bluetooth 5 is only 2Mbps, so a 50MB RAW file would take more than 3 minutes to transfer, under the best of circumstances. WiFi, on the other hand, has the bandwidth, but will suck the life right out of that camera battery, especially if you want your camera to be constantly connected to your phone so that every photo goes straight to the phone. Even so, try tethering WiFi to a laptop, and watch how painfully slow 20+ megapixel photos are to transfer.
For slick connectivity between an ILC and smartphone, we would need a protocol that supported low power idle (like Bluetooth) and high speed transfer (like 802.11ac), that has convenient pairing and reconnection. But if that is developed, it won't be driven by photographers with ILCs, because there are just too few of us.

The Royal Ballet Live at The O2, with Carlos Acosta and Tamara Rojo performing as Romeo and Juliet. Amazing.
The following weekend I'm back at The O2 for Glee Live (floor seating, right at the front - squeeeeee!) and then I'll be seeing Ke$ha a few weeks later at her Get Sleazy tour, supported by LMFAO. *dies*
I may be getting sleazy that evening and brushing my teeth with a bottle of Jack, but the next morning after Ke$ha I shall be looking much more respectable as I jet off to Rome. {^_^}
Life is good, Treacles. They say she's so lucky. I truly am. What are you all looking forward to? xoxo
And they say she's so LUCKY.

Wouldn't mind seeing Ke$ha, i LOVE Her album! the rest . . . not so much. Still gutted I never got to meet you and V this time still too. Last night I tried to convince the woman in charge of the exams to let me come down for a full week next time (ie December) which would be much easier (and hopefully I'll still be alive by then! I've been worried about that) and then it would be even easier to meet! In themeantime, if you wanna come to glasgow... ;)ReplyDelete

The Pacific Games Council (PGC) has formally approved Samoa as the host nation for the 2019 edition of the Pacific Games multi-sport event.
Tonga had initially been selected to stage the Games but was forced to withdraw its bid earlier this year due to financial concerns.
In September, the PGC opted to award hosting rights for the event to Samoa and made the decision official at its General Assembly in Vanuatu yesterday (Tuesday). The PGC also set initial dates of July 6-20 for the Games and confirmed that a total of 26 sports will feature at the event.
The Samoa Association of Sports and National Olympic Committee (SASNOC) will now work with the Samoan government to ensure the nation is prepared to host the Games.
SASNOC president Patrick Fepuleai said Games events will take place at facilities used during the 2007 Pacific Games and the 2015 Commonwealth Youth Games multi-sport event, both of which were staged in Samoa.
"Hosts normally have seven years, we have only 573 days or less than two years to July 6, 2019," Fepuleai said, according to the Fiji Times newspaper. "We bid for these Games because we were confident we could do it based on two most important factors.
"One, all our facilities are in place, we will not be building any new ones, just minor renovations. The second factor was our government is fully behind and supported our PGA."
The Pacific Games take place every four years. Papua New Guinea hosted the most recent edition in 2015, with the Solomon Islands scheduled to host the 2023 event.

Two New Jersey state troopers have been praised for going above and beyond the call of duty -- with the help of a few pizza pies.
On Sunday night, travelers were reportedly stuck inside a New Jersey airport after a Spirit Airlines flight was canceled due to bad weather.
"This left a hundred plus customers stranded in a closed airport where no food or transportation was available," Samantha Metallo wrote on Facebook Thursday, adding that the airline only offered the passengers cookies to sate their hunger.
Then, two state troopers stepped up to lend a hand.
The troopers, Mark Adotta and Joe Mercurio, "ordered and paid for 15 pizzas" out their own pockets to feed the stranded travelers, Metallo said.
Metallo posted a still from surveillance footage showing the troopers with the pies.
Pictured here: Trooper I Mark Adotta (#6620) and Trooper Joe Mercurio (7132).It's been a tough week for the NJSP...
Posted by Samantha N Steve Baugh on Thursday, June 4, 2015
"It's selfless actions like this that should be shared and praised," Metallo wrote.
It's unclear how Metallo got access to the surveillance footage, or how she was involved in the encounter. However, New Jersey State Trooper Fraternal Association president Chris Burgos confirmed to NBC News that her Facebook post was accurate.
"[I'm] very proud of what they did; it's what we do every day," Burgos told the news outlet.

The Sirius Corporation, commonly known as Sirius Corp. or simply Sirius, is the oldest and most powerful of the mega corporations. While even larger mega corporations exist, such as Faulcon DeLacy,[1] none of them compare to the wealth and influence of Sirius.[2] Its headquarters is in the Sirius system, which requires obtaining a Permit granted to Sirius Corporation's allies.
Li Yong-Rui is the CEO of the Sirius Corporation. All systems controlled by Li Yong-Rui have a 15% discount on outfitting including modules, weapons and all ships; this discount is available to all pilots.
Sirius Corporation has numerous subsidiaries primarily centered around fusion reactors, Power Generators, hydrogen fuel, and hyperdrive production.[3] It is also one of the galaxy's two main personal computer suppliers, alongside Achilles Corporation.[4] Li Yong-Rui controls 594 star systems with hundreds of billions of people as of 25 November 3304.[5] Sirius provides governmental services. It operates product-oriented divisions such as Sirius Catering, Sirius Mining, Sirius Power, Sirius Luxury Transports, Sirius Industrial, Sirius Atmospherics, and Sirius Gov.[2] Another one of Sirius's interests is the exploration and colonisation of the galaxy.[6]
By 2200 corporations had a stranglehold on a great many aspects of life, and this didn't stop during colonisation, though there was quite a delay before the first wholly corporate system was settled. The colonisation of Sirius by a solely corporate mission in 2339 and its rapid rise to become the premier supplier of drive fuel to first the Federation and then the Empire led to much corporate profiteering between the two powers. Throughout this period, conflicts of interest were raised by congressmen backed by corporate interests. However, eventually Sirius Corporation delegates were also responsible for initiating negotiations between the two powers.[7]
The Sirius Corporation was founded in 2350. It utilized vast amounts of cheap energy available on Lucifer in the Sirius system and was able to synthesize custom elements, including military grade fuel. Sirius quickly increased its financial status as a result of supplying the war fleets of both the Federation and Empire during the first interstellar war. They engineered shortages whenever one side was winning. This prolonged the war and resulting casualties which gained Sirius a legend of notoriety.[8] It is denied by Sirius and blamed on a few unscrupulous and deceased individuals.
New Drive Technology
In 3278, the Corporation saw a turnaround in its decline with the introduction of a new, faster drive system. Any similarities to the system in the Antares incident were denied at the time, though acknowledgements decades later revealed it was based on the results of the same research program. In the following years further improvements were made available both by Sirius and by its rivals, each dramatically reducing jump times, eventually resulted in very rapid hyperspace travel; journeys that previously took days could now be made in seconds.[9] The new Frame Shift Drive (FSD) was released to the public in 3297, and by 3300 all registered ships had been upgraded with the new technology.[1]
Unknown to the general public, during the 3270s the Alliance reverse-engineered Thargoid technology to produce the Frame Shift Drive. To prevent any one power or faction from leveraging it, The Club ensured that this technology fell into the hands of Sirius Corporation, which monopolized it and distributed it to all powers and factions to provide a level playing field.[10]
Not only did the success of the FSD trigger a new period of galactic expansion, but it also resulted in the expansion of Sirius Corporation into various other fields, with offices throughout human space.[9]
The Sirius Corporation – The First of the Mega-corporations[3]
In GalNet's series relating key points in human history, popular historian Sima Kalhana addresses the rise of the first mega-corporation.[3]
Apart from a few isolated backwater systems, the presence of mega-corporations is ubiquitous throughout civilised space. Massive as many of these organisations are, none of them compare to the wealth and influence of the Sirius Corporation.[3]
The rise of the largest corporation in history started in 2339 when the Sirius Corporation launched the first completely corporate colonial mission arrived in the Sirius star system. The continual state of conflict between the Federation and the Empire catapulted the Sirius Corporation into an economic powerhouse as they became the lead supplier of fuel, then later drives and other technologies.[3]
Within a century, its products were integrated into military and civilian production. It also developed an envied trusted status with both superpowers and indeed supplied both sides during their conflicts. This in part was due to strict information restriction protocols and an open promise that it would favour neither side during any conflict.[3]
The Sirius Corporation developed its own code of strict laws to ensure fair dealing as well as the good governance of its workforce. Its influence reached such a state that the so-called 'Sirius Convention' was applied not just during deals with the corporation, but between independent systems as well.[3]
Throughout the years, fuel and drive production has remained their core business, although judicious expansion into other markets has driven its astronomical growth. The Sirius Corporation now operates several product-oriented divisions including: Sirius Catering, Sirius Mining, Sirius Power, Sirius Luxury Transports, Sirius Industrial and Sirius Atmospherics. Most recently they launched a new venture, Sirius Gov, to provide governmental services for population management on all scales.[3]
Its history has been marked with some failures, most notable of which is the Antares incident which I will examine in the next article. However, its successes have far exceeded those failures and the Sirius Corporation remains the most powerful corporation in known space.[3]
Sirius Subsidiaries
The Sirius Corporation has a great many subsidiaries, but its main business centres around fusion reactors of all sorts - it makes and sells hyperdrive fuels, hyperdrives, power plants large and small, luxury surface transports, waste processing reactors, atmospheric processing units, industrial facilities for smelting, refining, and a wide range of mining equipment. It has cemented its position by using standardised parts for its power plants - whether it is at the heart of an industrial smelter, a luxury highliner or a surface city.[11]
The Sirius Corporation now runs several dozen systems. These have a strict legal system, their own penal code (based on Federal law), and their own law enforcement. They even have their own navy.[11]
Sirius Industrial
Sirius Industrial makes a broad range of bespoke heavy industrial installations for smelting, refining, processing and manufacturing. There are largely automated and easily assembled on site, using local materials for key elements of the construction where possible. All are centred around large Sirius power reactors - often multiple 100GW units are used in a single plant.[12]
Sirius Atmospherics
The early terraforming tended to use genetically engineered biological processes that would change the atmosphere of a suitable world over many decades to a breathable atmosphere using energy captured from the star via biological processes. This process was both slow, expensive (it was made up of many stages) and only a narrow set of worlds were suitable. The idea of doing direct chemical conversion on a vast scale was there, but not practical because of the vast power requirements.[13]
Sirius Navy is a large organisation, providing vigorous protection for all Sirius Corporation interests. It owns its own cruisers built by Imperial Gutamaya yards, and built under license in Sirius' own naval yards, branded in the Sirius Corporation's own royal blue livery, but much of their naval force comes from a large number of Cutters built under license and by Imperial Gutamaya, operating as patrol ships, and a great many fighters.[14]
Subsidiary Influence
In addition to Sirius Corporation exercising direct control of various facilities, a number of Sirius subsidiaries also vie for influence as minor factions in various systems.

The Sirius Convention
The Sirius Corporation operated under its own strict laws, governing workers rights, privileges etc., and also put in place conventions whereby in dealings with customers for large projects it voluntarily operated under a special hybrid of local law and Sirius law - where the strictest provision was deemed to be in place. This became known as 'The Sirius Convention' - and was often applied in treaties between independent systems.[15]
The Sirius Corporation developed a strong reputation for fair dealing too. It would never refer to rival jurisdictions or deal terms in a negotiation with a government, and would keep such negotiations strictly to the scope of the deal - not using any of the many levers less scrupulous organisations would frequently call upon. Such deals were said to be conducted 'under the Sirius Rule' - another term that effectively entered the language, much like the 'Chatham House Rule' a millennium earlier.[15]
- Li Yong-Rui - CEO of Sirius Corporation,[16] and CEO of its government division Sirius Gov.[17]
- Patricia Spellman - Vice President of Sirius Finance.[18]
- Ana Quin - Junior Vice President of Interstellar Logistics.[19]
- Highliner Antares - An experimental passenger liner that went missing during its maiden flight in 3251.[20]
Core Systems
Sirius Corporation maintains a presence in a number of Core Systems.
- Sirius (HQ, permit-locked)
- Avik
- Luyten 674-15
- Luyten's Star
- Mildeptu
- Procyon
Sirius Colonies
Beginning in March 3301, Sirius Corporation established a network of colonies and support outposts stretching beyond the Core Systems.[6] While Sirius still maintains a presence in most of these systems, a number of the stations have since fallen under the control of other minor factions. Also, one system that Sirius Corporation had slated for colonization, Wredguia SX-L d7-92, was inexplicably never colonized despite the presence of two natural Earth-like worlds.
On March 22, 3304, Sirius Corp announced that their presence in Sothis and Ceos would be expanded with new starports, settlements, and Megaships.[21] On April 5, 3304, Sirius completed 15 new orbital and planetary starports and multiple Bulk Cruiser Megaships (Aquarius Class Tanker KTF-895, Demeter Class Bulk Cargo Ship HXO-889, Dionysus Class Agricultural Vessel GTP-8846, Freedom Class Survey Vessel MRM-629, Gordon Class Bulk Cargo Ship QLR-562, Hercules Class Bulk Cargo Ship KAS-093, Naphtha Class Tanker HTH-082, and Sagan Class Tourist Ship VOY-438) distributed throughout its colonies. Sothis, Ceos, Robigo, and HIP 8396 each gained three new ports, Takurua gained two, and Almagest gained one.

- Sirius Corporation announced that it would be expanding its presence in the remote Sothis and Ceos systems with multiple new starports, settlements, and Megaships. The move was a response to the steadily increasing traffic in those two systems.[21]
- Li Yong-Rui announced that the search had resulted in the recovery of the wreckage of the Antares.
The wreckage appears to confirm that the component failure described in the ship's final status report did indeed result in the destruction of the Antares. My hope is that by subjecting the wreckage to further analysis, we will be able to determine exactly what caused the malfunction and apply this knowledge to the development of new safety protocols. With luck, we will be able to reintroduce the innovative drive technology used aboard the Antares. This discovery could serve as the catalyst for a whole new era of interplanetary travel.
— Li Yong-Rui[22]
- Li Yong-Rui, CEO of the Sirius Corporation's government division, announced a new official search for the Antares. He asked for Wreckage Components to be delivered to Davy Dock in the Procyon system.
Since the Antares was lost 50 years ago, there have been great advances in scanning technology, and we believe it may now be possible to find the remains of the ship. We are inviting every pilot in the galaxy to deliver wreckage components to our research base at Davy Dock in the Procyon system. Once we have accumulated enough material, we will subject the debris to comprehensive analysis to determine its origin. With luck, not only will we find the remains of the Antares, we will be able to determine her fate.
— Li Yong-Rui[23]
- The Sirius Corporation's appeal for osmium to at HIP 8396 came to an end, after a positive response in which hundreds of miners contributed.
The pilots who contributed to this initiative have performed a great service, and proved that the people of this galaxy are motivated as much by altruism as by the promise of reward. We are all humanitarians at heart.
— Li Yong-Rui, CEO of the Sirius Corporation[24]
- The Sirius Corporation's appeal for osmium to revitalise the economy of HIP 8396 started.
The people of HIP 8396 are part of the Sirius Corporation family, but if we are to help our compatriots, we will need help ourselves. So I implore all galactic citizens to contribute to this initiative, and bring a new era of peace and prosperity to HIP 8396.
— Li Yong-Rui, CEO of the Sirius Corporation[25]
- Following increased pirate activity in the Robigo system, Sirius Corporation offered a generous reward for anyone who helped clear the pirates out, in line with the corporation's zero-tolerance approach to those who threaten its holdings.[26]
- Following their expansion earlier in the year into the HIP 8396, Almagest, Sothis, Ceos, and Robigo systems, Sirius Corporation CEO Li Yong-Rui announced a new initiative to revitalise the economies of those systems. The fist stage would consist of an appeal for independent pilots to deliver osmium to HIP 8396.[16]
- Investigation data was handed over to the Sirius Corporation that a spokesman for Federation Vice President Nigel Smeaton's family said might help to locate the wreckage of the Highliner Antares. The data was encrypted, and had been found on a device among Nigel Smeaton's personal belongings.[27]
- A Sirius Corporation shuttle crashed into Patterson Enterprise in the Sirius system and was destroyed, when its docking computer failed on approach to the station. Five died, including Sean Richards, a senior consultant engineer who helped to compile the incident report on the disappearance of Starship One and, 50 years earlier, had been part of the task force of the Highliner Antares enquiry.[28]
- In the aftermath of the disappearance of Starship One, specialist teams from Core Dynamics and the Sirius Corporation attempted to analyse the wake and uplink data captured by the President's Guardian Wing escorts in the moments before all four ships jumped.[29]
- The Sirius Corporation announced that it would be returning to its colonisation roots with the launch of 12 new colonial outposts in 9 systems.[6]
- The Sirius Corporation announced that the reconnaissance portion of its latest colonisation project had drawn to a close. Hundreds of scout ships had contributed, gathering data on tens of thousands of potential candidate systems.[30]
- Sirius Corporation announced that, thanks to the work of hundreds of explorers, 8 new colonisation candidates had been identified.[31]
- Sirius Corporation announced its plan to launch a number of new colonial outposts to the very edges of occupied space. They offered sizeable monetary rewards for exploration data submitted to Nourse Orbital in Lambda Andromedae.
We're very excited to move forward with this project. It's been a long time coming, but finally the board have agreed it's time to get the ball rolling. We've got the tech and the volunteers, all we need now is to know where to send them.
— Ana Quin, Junior Vice President of Interstellar Logistics[19]
- A Sirius Corporation vessel known as the Highliner Antares disappeared during its maiden flight in the Sirius system. It was the first ship to use a production version of a new type of hyperdrive. When attempting a hyperspace jump it experienced a simultaneous explosion and mis-jump. The final report concluded that the most likely cause was that a part in the drive had failed just before the jump. No wreckage from the vessel was found. This led to considerable speculation and many conspiracy theories concerning what actually occurred.[23][20]
- The Sirius Corporation launched the first completely corporate colonisation mission, and arrived in the Sirius system. Sirius Corporation had become integrated into military and civilian production, and they had earned a trusted status with both the Federation and Empire, supplying both sides during their conflicts.[2]

How much will Nexus 5 cost?
We're all waiting patiently for the Google Nexus 5 to arrive and while the search giant hasn't given us any firm confirmation that it's on the way, the tsunami of leaks, speculation and rumors makes us pretty confident of its existence.
It looks like Google is planning on launching the next installment of its smartphone series sometime this month, and while that's all well and good what we really want to know is how much it's going to cost us.
We've been going through all the chatter surrounding the Nexus 5 in our dedicated hub for the smartphone, and from there we've picked out some key pointers to help us discover the potential price.
- What you need to know: Nexus 5 release date, news and rumours
Nexus 4 price drop
The Nexus 4 launched at the incredibly low price (considering the spec sheet) of $299 (£239, AU$349) and $349 (£279, AU$399) for the 8GB and 16GB models respectively, which have since seen a healthy price cut making them even cheaper.
Google's decision to drop the prices may be part of the process of clearing the way for the Nexus 5 to rock up at the older, higher price point as well as getting rid of stock.
Nexus 5 pricing hints
The chance of the Nexus 5 inheriting the original pricing structure of its predecessor has been given more credence after reports appeared online suggesting the same thing.
An unnamed source leaked the information to PhoneArena in dollars and while some have made a direct conversion of the touted $299 price to around £185/AU$315 they're forgetting the taxes and other costs which are applied.
If this is the correct US price the Nexus 5 won't be as cheap as the conversions suggest in the UK and Australia - with the original pricing of the Nexus 4 a much better guide.
Other rumors have hinted that the Nexus 5 would arrive at half the cost of the iPhone 5S (that's around £275, $446, AU$473), which would make it a little dearer than expected.
Money saving design
From the various photo (and video) leaks claiming to show off the Nexus 5 it looks as though Google (and manufacturer LG) are planning on mimicking the design of the new Nexus 7 tablet.
This would mean no glass rear with fancy disco ball effect, instead replaced by a rubberized back providing a lot of grip but little in the way of premium appeal.
The transition to rubber and plastic could be an attempt by Google to keep the price of the Nexus 5 down, avoiding the more expensive metal cladding you find on the HTC One and iPhone 5S. Cutting costs in design could also allow for better tech under the hood.
New Nexus 7
It's not just the Nexus 4 which sports a low price tag with Google's tablets - the Nexus 7 (2012) and Nexus 10 - also coming in at an affordable level.
The new Nexus 7 is an enticing proposition and it has inherited the same pricing structure as its predecessor, which provides more support to the theory that the Nexus 5 will cost the same as the Nexus 4 did when it launched.
Cash in the apps
We've got to remember that Google isn't looking to make money directly from the hardware it sells, it's looking to get Android in the hands of as many consumers as possible so it can create an income from the Google Play store.
Being able to offer its Nexus devices at such competitively low prices means it can shift a lot of them and thus in the long term there's more people spending money on its platform rather than on iOS 7, Windows Phone 8 or BlackBerry 10.
That means it's not totally out the question that the Nexus 5 could arrive at a potentially lower price point than its predecessor - and if Google could launch it at the current price of the Nexus 4 (it starts at £159, $199, AU$249) alongside the rumored spec sheet then it could take the market by storm.
We don't think Google will go this low at launch as it would begin to cannibalize the already well established lower end of the Android market, but never say never.
- This is just a summary of all we know about the new Google phone. To get the full update on this big hitter, make sure you bookmark: Nexus 5 release date, news and rumours

Science Describes Climate Change While Faith is the Catalyst to Act
According to Hayhoe, a professor of atmospheric science at Texas Technical University, who spoke at St. George's Cathedral on Feb. 19, climate change is the greatest challenge confronting our world today.
"It makes every other problem worse – access to clean water, development issues, we can't fix these problems if we leave climate change out of the picture," she explained. "It'll be like pouring money into a bucket with a hole in the bottom that is getting bigger and bigger. That hole is climate change."
Hayhoe, originally from Toronto, said her passion for the cause stems from a course she took while studying physics and astronomy at the University of Toronto.
Through her participation in the course, Hayhoe said she was shocked to learn that climate change was an urgent problem that needed to be addressed right away.
After earning her PHD in atmospheric science, Hayhoe realized that while science can explain the cause and impact of climate change, it does not go so far to influence change. That's where faith comes into the equation.
"Science can tell us whether climate is changing, and it is. Science can tell us why climate is changing, and today for the first time in the history of the human race it is changing because of what we are putting into our atmosphere.
"Science can even tell us if we continue to rely on fossil fuels as our primary energy source, this is what the world would look like. And if we can transition to other cleaner sources of energy, that is what the world would look like. But that's where science ends and where our values come in," she explained, noting that "for many of us, who have faith, our values come from our faith."
According to Hayhoe values and faith will dictate decisions on how to tackle climate change.
Hayhoe, a devout Christian, said her faith gives her the motivation to garner awareness and create dialogue for solutions on this issue.
Over the past few years, she has been speaking to Christian communities across North America about the issue of climate change. She has published more than 100 peer-reviewed articles and some of her findings were presented to Congress. In 2012, she was named one of Christianity Today's 50 Women to Watch.
Hayhoe said her take home message on climate change is that choices need to be made today and not a decade from now.
"It's kind of like, if you go to the doctor and the doctor says your arteries are a little blocked, now is the time to change your diet and start exercising and take medication, that's the point we're at with climate change. But if you go like 20 or 30 years and you never exercise, and you go to the doctor and the doctor says you need a triple bypass surgery and you're like, 'No, I'll just take the medication,' well it's too late for that," she said.

Revisiting the Paris Protocol: Israeli-Palestinian Economic Relations, 1994–2014
The 1994 Paris Protocol on Economic Relations between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) supposedly aimed to achieve two objectives: to enhance the parties' interest in peace and to strengthen the Palestinian economy. Twenty years after, neither of these goals were realized. If anything, the prospects of achieving them worsened over time. This study argues that the protocol's failure was largely due to the overall political and territorial context within which it was implemented. This context was so restrictive and damaging for the Palestinian side that any alternative economic arrangement which could have been negotiated between the parties in 1994 would have been equally incapable of delivering a different outcome.

Pasadena Mayor Johnny Isbell rides landslide victory to fourth and final term
Pasadena Mayor Johnny Isbell was overwhelmingly re-elected to what will be his final four-year term by a small percentage of registered voters on Saturday (May 11) .
In the five districts with contested council positions (see separate stories), an average of 9.2 percent of the registered voters cast ballots -- either absentee, early or on Election Day.
Isbell interpreted the low voter turnout as people's satisfaction with the "direction the city is headed."
"It makes you feel humble and proud..." Isbell said of his "unsurprising" victory over Gilbert Pena by 3,599 (83 percent) to 751 (17 percent).
Pena said he was discouraged in the "excuses people used to not come out and vote."
"It's pretty disappointing to me that the Hispanic people really did not come out in greater numbers to show their support for me."
Pena also said he did not have the finances to run the campaign he wanted to run.
Isbell now begins his 30th year of combined service as Mayor and Councilmember. He is term limited, so this four-year term will be his last in office.

A federal judge out of New Jersey has ordered Trump Campaign and Trump to explain his prejudice against the Elections and the possibility of a rigged election. Something that he has claimed for a while and he took actions after the surrogates and even Vice Presidential Candidate Mike Pence has gone into defence. Therefore Federal Judge of New Jersey John Michael Vazguez ordered his team to deliver affidavits, testimonies or oral proof of rigged allegations. This before the final days of voting, before the last day of casting the ballots and the Election Day!
Here is the outtake of the Court Order of New Jersey:
"ORDERED that Defendant shall produce to Plaintiff the following no later than 5:00p m EST November 2 2016 and file on the docket. All agreements in any form between Defendant and the presidential campaign of Donald J. Trump the "Trump Campaign" regarding voter fraud ballot security, ballot integrity, poll watching, or poll monitoring. If the agreements are verbal or oral or otherwise not reduce to writing, then Defendant shall submit an affidavit of a person or persons with personal knowledge of such agreements. The person's shall be an agent, servant, or employee of Defendant. The affidavit s shall set forth all material terms of any such agreement, including any geographic areas which are being targeted for the voter fraud, ballot security, ballot integrity. Poll watching, or poll monitoring efforts and the reason's those areas are being targeted"
Mike Pence:
"An affidavit or affidavits by a person or persons with personal knowledge setting forth in detail Defendant's efforts with the Trump Campaign to work with state governments and secretaries of state to ensure "ballot integrity" as indicated by Governor Mike Pence on or about August 3 2016".
Kellyanne Conway:
"An affidavit or affidavits by person or persons with personal knowledge setting forth in detail Defendant's efforts with the Trump Campaign to monitor precincts around the country as indicated by Kellyanne Conway on or about October 21 2016".
Rob Gleason:
"An affidavit or affidavits by person or persons with personal knowledge setting forth in detail the efforts of RNC member, Rob Gleason, to recruit persons to act as poll watchers in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania"
Ronna Romney McDaniel:
"An affidavit or affidavits by a person or persons with personal knowledge setting forth in detail the efforts of RNC member Ronna Romney McDaniel, to prepare a massive state wide anti-voter fraud effort in Michigan".
"ORDERED that as to its emergent motion Plaintiff's reply to Defendant's opposition shall be submitted on the docket no later than 5:00 p m EST on Thursday November 3 l6; it is further
ORDERED that oral argument is scheduled at 10:00a m EST on Friday November 4 2016"
This here set precedence for the Campaign, as a result to the hammering against the American Election system and the way the Election Districts are set up. This is against all the different election laws in the various states in the United States of America. The Election Laws differ and make it complicated as of registration, getting election ID and all the other necessary things needed before doing the civic duty of casting the ballot for the Presidential Election.
So this Court Order is important, not that there hasn't been questionable actions in US Election in the past, but I cannot remember a time and place where a Campaign Team and Presidential Candidate has proclaimed before the ballots are casted. Even before the tally of the votes been registered and even before the Supreme Court has tested and recounted questionable Election Districts in Close states. That the Election Rigging claims have surfaced. Something that sounds like gimmick and using the final fear-tactic from a Campaign that uses all sorts of tactics to win, not for the system, but for their own gain! This is something that has always been the case for Donald Trump and his businesses.
So that a Court of New Jersey goes to this step, proves the crazy ride that been the American Election this year. That somebody like Donald Trump could become a Republican Presidential Candidate and also be such a figure in the race, shows some fearful prospects of current state of internal affairs in the United States. If it would be Marco Rubio or one of the other candidates the view of US would be more clean and healthy. The sickness of something so vicious, so brash and bashing fearful has been out of question, but is now mainstream thanks to Trump. Those together with conspiracy theories like this Court Order try to settle and silence. So, we can hope that the Trump Campaign with Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Kellyanne Conway, Rob Gleason and Ronna Romney McDaniel can offer some explanation to the allegations and crimes, voter frauds and such so the evident crimes and people behind the rigged can answer for themselves! Peace.
PS: If they cannot prove it or explain the allegations, could he please shut up! If he has grievances like I do for the Florida 2000 Elections that gave George W. Bush the victory in the State, than say that; don't say this one unless you have something to prove at-least!
BTW: I am far from a fan of both George W. Bush and Donald J. Trump. Therefore No mixed messages and hope that Clinton wins, not that her track-record is beautiful, but anything is better than TRUMP!
United States DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF NEW JERSEY – 'Civil Action No. 1-03876 – John Michael Vazguez, U.S.D.J' (31.10.2016)

I, along with many others that includes Ian Young sharing cake (see photo below) from Phuket Thailand (PARc) are at Lee Fitzgerald's recovery conference in London promoting our international ventures and universal values. Addiction is a global phenomenon, and one that impairs the condition and lifestyles of so many individuals. There are no easy answers with conditional outcomes depending on factors within and outside one's control. The take away from the conference is that compassion is regularly and importantly transmitted within secure, safe settings where those suffering from addiction can get better — better, by recognizing the weaknesses within themselves and using their strengths, along with the strengths of others to beat the beast called addiction. Empirical driven evidence available from us.
Smart phones & psychosis: Are they mutually exclusive?
Our mobiles drive us crazy, right? Surprise surprise. Cell phones may also keep us sane, by providing a sense of belonging, a lesser sense of isolation — or at least we'd like to think so.
With any of such popular studies, none that are replicable hold up. They are likely less fact based than simply possibilities. However, like placebos, if people find certain things useful, then that's worth something.

Child Custody and Education — is it in the "best interest of your child" ?
Education analysis of best interest of the child in family custody matters continues to be fraught with errors: many custody evaluators who are hired to address the best interest of the child in education or school matters simply are not trained, and more than often not licensed to do the work, and far less have training and licensure in combination to be considered expert in their work.
For this reason, evaluators are turning to outside experts in education to bolster their own roles and reports, consciously understanding it's the ethical thing to do in meeting the legal requirement of "best interest of the child." Education today is far more of a complex issue than previously considered within the realm of custody evaluations. Families move away to other states, other nations, and then back again with children not only requiring specialized supports, but consistent and challenging education to transition seamlessly across geographic landscapes.
Do your best — only hire the best who is trained and experienced to work in the "best interest" of your child and family in finding education options that work.
That professional is Dr Burdick. Contact our offices today to discuss your family matter of importance.
"Out of My Mind" by Alan Arkin
I've recently been listening to an audio book by Alan Arkin called "Out of My Mind". I don't know if you know him, he's an actor. He's suggesting each of us come to the earth with her or his own unique agenda; and somewhere along the way we as the creators of this agenda miss the opportunity to listen to that internal voice and implement what we can create for ourselves. It includes destiny decisions such as marriage and family, as well as education / vocation. So it's a little heavy, a type of "journey" work for sure. But I think it has some traction for some of our families. I'd love to hear from you on this "journey" work and particularly if you've read Alan Arkin's book: What do you think of his "Out of My Mind" concepts on this subject of birth with unique agendas that we create? Together we can bring meaning to the lives of your family members, not just the ones with behavior or emotional problems. I often collaborate with an outstanding therapist in these cases, Neil Brown. Together we make sense of what families are going through, and working together find successful outcomes of purposeful meaning. Contact us if you're interested in moving your family forward…
We do house calls!
Everybody knows how difficult sometimes it is to get family out of the home and on to their future. Whether it's from assisting a daughter or son to understand that a boarding school might be in their own best interest, or an older teen to look in the mirror and discover that a outdoor therapeutic experience would be very beneficial, or an older family member to looking at how recovery within a residential treatment center would be easier; all of these scenarios require a concierge approach to assist in individual to "move forward" in their wellbeing, in their lives. Enter Dr Burdick.
Dr Burdick has had tremendous success in helping family move forward: For example, one young person we will call "Tameric" who stayed put 24/7 within the confines of his bedroom playing incessant computer games, and when his parents shut down the wifi, Tameric resorted to camping out in a neighbor's garage to sponge off the neighbor's wife and continue the gaming. Clearly obsessive – compulsive behavior.
After a Skype call to outline how he could help, Dr Burdick came to the home and observed Tameric's treasured lifestyle within his environment and spent time to get to understand the complexity and the level of his infatuation in the game. This assisted in the family in taking a break from identifying Tameric as the patient and looking at the family dynamic as a whole. It worked, and Tameric sped off to a program with their parents feeling hopeful and empowered.
Call Us Today. The Holidays are approaching and are often the most problematic. We can help assist to outline what needs to happen to get the entire family to a healthier place, on to engage in a brighter future.


text: Domestic Violence Leaders Issue Statement for Domestic Violence Awareness Month October 03 2018 CFW-convened Domestic Violence Leaders Collaborative Calls for Expanded Commitment to End Gender-Based Violence (October 3, 2018) – Chicago Foundation for Women (CFW), with the support of Alphawood Foundation, has been convening the Domestic Violence Leaders Collaborative since 2015 to bring together sector leaders to dig into deep-rooted challenges in addressing domestic violence. Together, the Collaborative has examined the effectiveness of policies and practices in the domestic violence sector in engaging diverse communities and meeting the needs of all those impacted by domestic violence, as well as the policies and practices of outside systems that impact survivors. In recognition of October as Domestic Violence Awareness Month, 26 members of the Domestic Violence Leaders Collaborative have come together to issue the following statement, solidifying their commitment to expand the movement to end domestic violence to engage and support other movements for social justice: The Domestic Violence Leaders Collaborative, representing nonprofit organizations working to end gender-based violence, envisions an equitable society that values all humanity, celebrating the richness of our diverse identities and strengths of communities. This group was borne out of a vision for collaborative action and inclusivity — in how we work, who we serve, how we advocate and who we engage. At the root of domestic violence is the misuse of power not only in the hands of an intimate partner, but also fueled by and intertwined with cultural, economic, political and social structures. In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we, the members of the Domestic Violence Leaders Collaborative (The Collaborative), are sharing our commitments to each other and the wider community. • We commit to identify and address our own organizational barriers for enacting racial, gender and economic justice; • to uplift the intersections of identity for survivors and their families, supporting solutions borne out of communities; • to engage a wider community of allies, including men and people across gender identities; • to be in solidarity with social justice and community-based movements; and • to open our doors, working with other organizations where survivors, people who have done harm, and their families find peace, healing and justice amidst multiple layers of inequities. Our commitments are our calls to action, first and foremost, to ourselves and each other. At a time of great social change, we are unified in embracing and evolving our practices that move us toward addressing domestic violence not as an isolated issue, but as central to larger participation in movements to build an equitable society. We will continue to provide and lift up our direct services and systems advocacy that are strong, while expanding our strategies and broadening our focus. For too long we have directed our advocacy at systems which provide support at the individual level of survivors and their families – police and the courts, child welfare, public assistance, and housing, to name a few – yet for some survivors and their communities, these systems further the inequities they experience, leading to punishment rather than a path to healing and resilience. As a Collaborative, coming to terms with the history of the domestic violence movement was an imperative step, for hindsight gave us a clearer perspective of both gains and flaws, as well as how some survivors were not well-served or were left behind. We have gone through a journey together, often uncomfortable, for it challenges our beliefs, norms and practices. We know we are not yet done with this exploration and continue to learn from each other. We share our call to action with you to encourage the wider community to join us in our work to end gender-based violence. We call on funders, community-based organizations, movement builders, and community members to work towards this vision, engaging with us as we enact our commitments. Join us as we strive for social, cultural, economic and political justice in ending gender-based violence, as we join your work for transformative change. The Domestic Violence Leaders Collaborative* A Safe Place; American Indian Center; Apna Ghar, Inc.; Arab American Family Services; Between Friends; Center for Advancing Domestic Peace; Chicago Coalition for the Homeless; Chicago Metropolitan Battered Women's Network; Chicago Workers' Collaborative; Connections for Abused Women and their Children; Domestic Violence Legal Clinic; Family Defense Center; Family Rescue; Family Shelter Service; Hana Center; Haven House; Healing to Action; Illinois Coalition Against Domestic Violence; KAN-WIN; Latinos Progresando; Mujeres Latinas en Accion; Mutual Ground; Sarah's Inn; South Suburban Family Shelter; WINGS; YWCA Evanston/North Shore. * Alphawood Foundation and Chicago Foundation for Women provide funding support for the convening of the Domestic Violence Leaders Collaborative, which is made up of grantees from both foundations. ### About the Domestic Violence Leaders Collaborative By coming together as leaders in the field to be in dialogue with one another, we set out to find common ground, challenge ourselves to think about our long-held practices and beliefs, and acknowledge both milestones and failures of the history of domestic violence work in order to redefine our path forward. We looked at our own policies and practices to chart our progress and to identify the communities and groups we haven't engaged well. We also discussed the policies and practices of outside systems (housing, child welfare, criminal justice, healthcare, etc.) that have an impact on survivors of gender-based violence, recognizing the accomplishments and deficits here as well. We know that though the domestic violence sector serves thousands of individuals every year, survivors of abuse don't always come to domestic violence and sexual assault agencies. Some might not seek our services because they aren't aware these services exist; they think that they do not qualify for our services; they do not feel welcome; they have had a negative experience or heard negative comments from others. And we know that domestic violence cannot be solved by only domestic violence agencies. In dialogue with one another, we have gained new and renewed perspectives of our work, continuously grounding ourselves in a worldview of domestic violence not as a single issue but systemic in the larger fabric of community, deeply intertwined with racial, economic, and gender inequity. As we look to the social and political movements that are rising up to work for justice, we know it is time for us to change. Those who came before us were brave enough to step forward and blaze a path to get us to where are today. It is up to us to take that work and shift the paradigm so that we can link to movements if we are to end all forms of violence. Our work will create transformative paths so future generations will be that much closer to realizing a world free from violence.

The upcoming release of Java 7 update 80 (April 2015) marks the last public release in Orale's JDK 7 family. Java users should upgrade to the publicly supported JDK 8 or obtain a commercial support contract of Java SE Advanced for continued updates of JDK 7 and JDK 6.
Additional details can be found in the video, "Java SE 7 End of Public Updates" by Tomas Nilsson.
Support dates for the publicly supported JDK versions are as follows:
|Oracle Java SE Public Updates
(copied as of March 26, 2015)
|Major Release
|GA Date
|End of public updates
|Commercial support timeline
|May 2004
|Oct 2009
|Available through Java SE Advanced. See linked Oracle Java SE Support Roadmap.
|Dec 2006
|Feb 2013
|Jul 2011
|Apr 2015
|Mar 2014
|See roadmap
Companies that require older Java versions after the end of public updates may benefit from the fixes in these older versions, such as security enhancements.
The last public release of JDK 6 was Java 6 update 41 in February 2013. I recommend that users without commercial support contracts of Java SE Advanced use a publicly supported JDK, such as JDK 8. Oracle commercial customers whose applications depend on JDK 6 may download Java 6 update 91, released January 2015. This commercial release contains almost three years of bug fixes and security improvements.
Java 7 will follow a similar path. The last public release of Java 7 will be Java 7 update 80 in April 2015. After that time, I recommend that users without commercial support contracts upgrade to JDK 8. Oracle commercial customers whose applications depend on JDK 7 will still be able to download critical patches of JDK 7 in July and later, as identified by the Critical Patch Update schedule.
Versions of Java 8 are available to all, with or without commercial support, on Java.com and the Java SE Downloads page of the Oracle Technology Network.
In addition to support and patches, the commercial Java SE Advanced provides the following features:

Kuang Si Waterfall
Kuang Si Waterfall is the biggest in the Luang Prabang area with three tiers leading to a 50-metre drop into spectacular azure pools before flowing downstream. The pools also make great swimming holes and are very popular with both tourists and locals.
The pools also have cascades of up to five metres high with deliciously cold water due to the shade given by the surrounding lush tropical jungle, if you don't fancy a swim then you can relax in the shade and watch others having fun jumping in and out of the water.
There are trails allowing you to climb up to the top where you can see the stream feeding into the falls and enjoy some more natural pools. Remember to bring the correct footwear as the trails can get slippery and are certainly not recommended for children or the frail.

Spring 2020 Ready-to-WearHervé Léger
Why aren't Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid wearing Hervé Léger? The figure-skimming clothes are practically built for them, just as they were built for their '90s supermodel predecessors (and for women who want to feel hot and love the idea of bodycon.) Lest you forget, Hervé Léger hit the bandage look out of the park back in the early '90s, when there were huge runways, huge budgets, and huge supermodels. Google "Hervé Léger '90s" and gawk at the Amazonian likes of Cindy Crawford and Elle Macpherson: They were cinched so tightly into those viscose dresses that you'd think their ribs would bend and their organs would shift. And yes, they really did look fantastic.
Creative director Christian Juul Nielsen has done a great job at taking the building blocks of early Hervé Léger—simple bandage dressing, and the lesser-known but still important technique of draping—and bringing the label into 2019. But he also understands that customers love classics. "There is no point trying to change the brand," he told me at the presentation today at the Nomad hotel. As an example, a moss green, Lurex-speckled column dress felt plucked from the Hervé archive. It had that stellar head-to-toe, suck-you-in silhouette that longtime diehards would love.

( 17.24 min) Indeed we can! Hi everyone! The very BEST computer that we will ever come across is within us. We use it every single moment of our life. Our beautiful brain has one important purpose: to keep everything within us working perfectly in balance. Yes, that's a big job! The mind is the "purest form of energy" and this is what you experience and put forth out into the world. The mind vs brain discussion has a long history in itself. The mind is the part of you that "feels" the emotion or sensation. There are examples suggesting that the mind can "takeover" the skin such as with eczema. This is why from day one of this podcast, I have said, "Life events affect our skin". Acne flare up before the prom or wedding? Yes, stress is the culprit!
What do you suggest I do? Take a time out! Yes, your mind can help in healing any skin challenge. Include your "mind" as another solution in aiding in the healing of your skin. "I'm already doing everything I can and now you want me to use my what? Yes, use your mind! I'll show you one simple way to get you started. All you have to do is practice this or any other meditation that calls to you. Let's slow down the pace and release some stress with our very own mind. Let's do this now if you can find a quiet comfortable place to meditate with me. There are many wonderful videos and podcasts for you to add to your collection to help you during meditation time. If you enjoy quiet whispering you will want to checkout SOMNI ASMR ( Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) on you tube. Somni's Visualization You Tube is just marvelous! I am inspired to create a visualization podcast for our self development podcast, Cieloscent radio. Thanks Somni! Whichever you choose just be consistent and you will "feel" the benefits that quiet meditation brings to you. If you choose to join me in our skin meditation today, find a quiet place where you can close your eyes. If you have any concerns or under medical care consult with your practitioner. Let's begin, inhale through your nose and slowly release the breath through your mouth……
Thank you for joining me in today's podcast.
Be well, happy, handsome and beautiful!

Dr. Bolin studies usage, effectiveness of diabetes education kiosk in underserved communities
Jane N. Bolin, J.D., Ph.D., B.S.N., associate professor at the Texas A&M Health Science Center (TAMHSC) School of Rural Public Health, recently was lead author of a study on the diabetes education kiosk (Diosk©) and its usage in underserved communities.
Published in the March/April issue of The Diabetes Educator, "Diabetes Education Kiosks in a Latino Community" examined the implementation and potential long-term benefits of the Diosk in Latino communities. It was placed in clinics, community centers and pharmacies serving low-income, low-literacy populations in the Corpus Christi area.
The Diosk is designed to provide at-hand education on diabetes self-management – a form of education referred to as "interactive behavior change," according to Dr. Bolin. It allows patients to be actively involved with their own treatment and assess symptoms and behaviors that may contribute to their disease, as well as design strategies for alteration of said behaviors.
"Diabetes self-management education has been shown to be a critical factor in preventing and managing Type 2 diabetes and its related complications," Dr. Bolin said. "However, the availability and use of education and behavioral counseling leading to lifestyle changes are often limited in low-resource populations."
Following the 11-month study of approximately 5,300 Diosk users at five sites, three sites committed to continued use of the touch-screen kiosk.
Additional study authors were Marcia G. Ory, Ph.D., M.P.H., and Ashley Wilson, M.P.H., from the TAMHSC-School of Rural Public Health and Lesley Salge, M.P.H., from The Ohio State University.
