"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
He who passively accepts evil is cooperating with it–Bonhoeffer
Evil Comes From the abuse of FREE WILL–C.S. Lewis
John Gill's Commentary on Genesis 3:15
Psalm 94:16-17
16 Who will rise up for Me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for Me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Unless the Lord had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
Today in America who has accepted the help of the Lord to avoid his soul dwelling in silence? Richard Duke
…AND THE PULPITS ARE SILENT–Dave Daubenmire
Passivity in Church Leads to Captivity; and Captivity Leads to Death-Jessie Penn-Lewis
Failure to speak against evil and passivity–WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY? And what did Dietrich Bonhoeffer say?
Commands of the Bible that are being ignored–shout
Evil and Evil Men–Must Pray Against (Bible)
Remaining silent against evil and the resulting consequences
Whether You Call it Socialism, Statism, Fascism, or Corporatism, Big Government Is Evil and Destructive
Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Silence in the face of evil is itself evil
He who passively accepts evil is cooperating with it
Dietrich Bonhoeffer: "The Church is Dead"–name of his sermon
The Cost of Discipleship, by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Bonhoeffer saw a "tired indifference"; dulled senses
The Confessing Church cowered before the Fuhrer; and caretakers of the Word were bystanders to evil
Bonhoeffer belonged to a faction…he no longer shared and a church whose preaching he found stultifying and dull–and a pervasive loneliness overtook him
Bonhoeffer–No Voice for the Victims

Advance!'s mission is to provide equity of access to college for students whose families have little or no prior experience with higher education. Most are first-generation and come from low-income homes. Advance! seeks to level the playing field for these young people.
All services are FREE of CHARGE. No appointment necessary.
"Based on current census data, fewer than 25% of the 43, 745 La Habrans aged 25 and older have attained a Bachelor's degree from college. An additional 8% have earned an Associate's (2-year) degree. These figures demonstrate how few of our high school students come from homes where parents have any college experience and even fewer whose parents completed a college education. This means that fewer than 6,000 school-age children in La Habra likely lack the support necessary to navigate through the difficult college admissions process. Nor are they likely to have in the in-home support needed to succeed once they are actually in college.
Many La Habrans grew up here. Advance! has become one of the beacons drawing former La Habrans to return, attracting those with college degrees and experience. Future census data will prove the lasting impact that the founders and staff of Advance! have on La Habra as the percentage of college-educated young people rise and, with them, the economic and social advancement a college degree brings.
This illustrates the critical need that Advance! has met over the past decade and continues to address as each high school class year begins to explore its options after graduating from our high schools. What a marvelous resource for La Habra's high school students. It is a nonprofit organization that is uniquely La Habra!"
Michael Blazey – La Habra City Council [Mayor 2015]
"North Orange County and La Habra are extremely fortunate to have an asset like Advance! provide vital college information and services to our teens. The Boys and Girls Club of La Habra is proud to be a collaborator."
Mark A. Chavez – Executive Director of the La Habra Boys and Girls Club
"Preparation for your career choices begins in high school. Advance! will show you how to make the best choices."
Mark Sturdevant – President, La Habra Area Chamber of Commerce / Contributing book author, "Leading America"
"Advance! is critical program for our community which helps guide our young people as they prepare to successfully graduate from high school and move on to higher education in pursuit of their careers."
Jim Sadro – La Habra City Manager

Forskolin Belly Buster Reviews
Nurse, Therapist, and Fitness Instructor in San Jose, California
With a name like 'Forskolin Belly Buster', this diet supplement has to work, right? Well, not so fast!
Marketed as a product that speeds up the body's metabolism rate and focuses on burning only fat cells and never touching muscle, Forskolin is an herbal extract from a mint plant. Yet why are we hesitant to give it the stamp of approval as a weight-loss supplement?
Well, unlike many weight-loss supplements, this product actually did do two studies.....ONLY two (which is two more than many other supplement firms would undertake...).
One was a small study focusing on overweight and obese males; yet there were only 15 subjects in this study, which only lasted for twelve weeks. The results? Well, the subjects DID see their body composition change- a significant reduction in BMI and more bone mass coupled with lean body mass.
HOWEVER....not one subject actually lost weight. Even worse (?!), serum-free testosterone levels saw a significant spike in all subjects- a spike in testosterone levels is rarely healthy (!).
In another study, 23 slightly overweight women were also observed taking this supplement for twelve weeks. At the end of the study, not one subject showed any weight loss nor change in body composition.
In other words, two clinical trials both ended in strikeouts for Forskolin Belly Buster.
So the proof is in the scientific pudding- not only did none of the 38 test subjects lost weight over a twelve-week trial, the men saw significant spikes in their testosterone levels, which is bad news for the body on several fronts.
We strongly recommend you to check out www.dietpillquiz.org instead. It's an app that will find the perfect weight loss pill for you based on your age/gender/weight, metabolism type, eating habits and activities.
Read about Forskolin Belly Buster's side effects.
Conclusion: Best to give this product a miss.

My family and I Stayed one night in a deluxe cabin w/ shower at the Brookeland,TX KOA last week. The cabin was located on a small pond. I saw bass and sunfish in the pond but I could not outsmart them with my fly rod. The cabin was clean and comfortable, but the weather outside was miserably hot. I would recommend this to families with small children. Mill creek runs along the back of the campground.

This article is from the archive of our partner .
Government IT contractor Booz Allen has updated its official statement on employee Edward Snowden to let everyone know — in case it wasn't obvious enough — that he doesn't work there anymore. The company website has been updated to say that Snowden was "terminated" for "violations of the firm's code of ethics and firm policy." However, that termination happened on Monday, three days after The Guardian made him famous, and not when he took a leave of absence and flew to Hong Kong with reams of sensitive company documents.
They also took the opportunity to clarify that Snowden's salary was $122,000, not the $200,000+ that he had cited to reporter Glenn Greenwald. However, the original statement in the first Guardian article about Snowden stated, "He has had "a very comfortable life" that included a salary of roughly $200,000," which is just vague enough to imply that it could be a reference to earlier jobs. It's also possible that there could have been incentive clauses or other bonuses built into his Booz Allen contract that might have raised his yearly income, even if his base salary was still $122,000. Or maybe it's just attempt by the company to keep prospective new hires from getting their hopes up.
The statement also says Snowden was an employee at Booz Allen for "less than 3 months," which would mean his start date was on or after March 10 of this year. Greenwald has stated that he first began talking to Snowden in February, which would seem to confirm that he had been planning his move before he even started the job.
U.S. officials have also said on Tuesday that they're preparing federal charges against Snowden, although no timetable has been given on when they might be formally filed.

ECB: "the loneliness of the long distance runner"
While the ECB left its policy stance unchanged at its September 8 meeting, the time of assessment of monetary policies has come, in Europe, but also in Japan, the UK and even the US. And the question is whether the exceptional monetary policy measures put in place have generated more problems that they have solved any?
Looking at the trend in the interest rates, it is indeed a remarkable success: in the past three years, 10 year bond yields have fallen from 150 to more than 250 bp, pushing real interest rates down, and in some cases in negative territory. This is the key to reduce the debt burden, even in times of low inflation.
But do these results outweigh the potential collateral damages?
In Europe, those most in need of reducing the cost of their debt still endure positive real interest rates (Italy, Portugal, Greece) ;
Ever larger asset purchase programs induce market distortions and disturb valuations, at the risk of generating bubbles.
Flattening bond yield curves, negative short term rates tend to hamper bank lending and threaten insurance companies (13tn $ worth of bonds bear negative rates).
Yet many corporations continue to hoard cash. Lower interest rates are not enough to push massive investment.
Central banks will also have a hard time to reduce their balance sheets. Janet Yellen, Fed chair, explained how the Fed had to give up its initial strategy to reduce its balance sheet before raising its interest rates.
As a conclusion:
Remember Rheinhart & Rogoff's analysis? Exiting a debt crisis takes a long time!
What would have happened if central bankers had not undertaken unconventional monetary policies when they did?
Yet using negative interest rates may bear more inconvenience than advantages.
The recent G20 meeting concluded that now is time to loosen fiscal policies and support large investment projects to boost global growth. Probably a good idea, but:
Who can really do it?
Will those heavily needed infrastructure investment be allocated wisely?
We are experiencing a vast technological transition, and entering this era with a heavy debt burden is not the best feature for sure. Sound asset allocation is key for risky investments, and the private sector is best positioned to achieve such programs. Public investments can probably support these trends, with longer term investment in education, and well targeted infrastructures – especially in emerging markets.

Electric Scooter Injuries in Los Angeles are on the Rise
Electric Scooter Injuries in Los Angeles Now Outweigh Bicycle and Pedestrian Injuries
The Westside of Los Angeles is covered in electric scooters these days and the medical community is feeling the impact. A recent study found that more electric scooter riders ended up in two Westside L.A. hospitals than either bicyclists or pedestrians.
Are Electric Scooter Injuries Just a Cost of LA's "First Mile, Last Mile" Solution?
Scooters such as Bird, Lime, and Jump, are supposed to help with the quintessential Los Angeles commuter issue of the "first mile, last mile." Here in Los Angeles, bus and metro or train often form the basis of a person's commute using public transportation. However, users still usually complete the first and last portion on their own. The LA Metro websites explain that riders, "must first walk, bike, drive or roll themselves to and from the nearest station. This is referred to as the first and last mile of the user's trip, or 'first/last mile' (FLM) for short."
Electric scooters are supposed to solve this exact problem. But are these scooters worth the danger?
Head Injuries and Fractures Are Common Electric Scooter Injuries in Los Angeles
The study said that a whopping 40.2 percent of those electric scooter riders admitted to the hospital were suffering from a head injury. 31.7 percent were admitted for fractures. Only 4 percent of those injured were wearing a helmet. Roughly 11 percent of those injured riders were minors.
A Large Number of Electric Scooter Injuries in Los Angeles Aren't Even Suffered by Those Riding the Scooters
8.4 percent of those injured weren't even riding the scooter. They were mostly pedestrians struck by scooters on streets or sidewalks. No matter what side of the scooter debate you are on, people have strong opinions about the scooters and whether they can safely operate on the Westside of Los Angeles.
Nicole L.
Scooter Accident Client
"Sally just got me a ton of $$$$$ from a scooter accident. She is easy to relate with and is "good people." Despite these complications, she kept us from going to trial as she negotiated with the insurance company like a pro (and got more than I expected). It has been quick and easy and I am so grateful."
Experience a serious Scooter accident?
Check out our Scooter Accident Help Page to learn more about how the process works.
Who is Financially Responsible for Electric Scooter Injuries?
Are you covered? What happens if you are injured by a person riding a scooter? It's not totally clear.
Although Lime claims that it has $1 million in liability insurance on each ride, both Lime and Bird make it clear on their websites that they are not liable for any claim whatsoever. Check out the "Assumption of the Risk" section (Section 15) of Bird Scooter's Rental Agreement and Section 5 of Lime Scooter's User Agreement. Not even one that arises from negligence on the part of the rider. And, riders assume all risk. Bird users agree to a liability waiver on the app before being allowed to hop on the scooter. Further, Bird and Lime both require that riders agree to indemnify the company for claims. Geez!
What does this mean? If you get hurt while riding a scooter, you are liable.
If you hurt someone else while riding a scooter, you are liable.
Like any traffic accident, if you are the cause of injury to someone else, you are going to be held liable for that. Whether you can apply the insurance coverage provided by the scooter rental company or not is a question you'll likely need a scooter accident lawyer to answer.
Make sure you know what laws govern electric scooters in California before you start scootin' around with reckless abandon.
If you suffer injuries from an electric scooter that you are not even riding, getting paid may be difficult.
If you have nothing to do with scooters in any shape or form but you are injured by one flying down the sidewalk, you might also find yourself out of luck unless the person who hit you has an insurance policy that personally covers them in this situation.
Sadly, your best option would be to assert a claim against the scooter rider's homeowner's or renter's insurance or pursue them for personal assets. That is, assuming they have any of these. Many of these scooter riders are tourists from other countries or people with no insurance or assets. Even if they do have a homeowner's or renter's policy, these types of policies typically have exclusions (meaning they won't cover policyholders) for accidents or injuries caused by "motorized vehicles." But, these little electric scooters are not considered "motor vehicles" by the Insurance Code (sections 11580.2, 11580.06), so they should be covered.
Also, if you have your own auto accident insurance, that won't even protect you if you are injured while riding a scooter or if you are hit by someone riding a scooter. Your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM insurance) would only come into play if the accident was caused by an actual "motorized vehicle" not one of these scooters.
Get Compensated for Your Electric Scooter Injuries
If you've suffered electric scooter injuries in Los Angeles, contact the Sally Morin Personal Injury Lawyers Los Angeles motorcycle accident team. We can offer sound legal advice you can rely on. We have over 20 years of experience in handling California traffic accidents, including serious injury scooter accidents. We are experts in helping clients navigate the complex scooter accident claims process.

Rep. Dennis Hastert, Ill., who last year became the longest-serving Republican speaker of the House, will announce Friday that he will not seek reelection, Republican House aides said Tuesday.
GOP aides say Hastert is likely to serve the rest of his term but has been considering resigning from the House this year.
Hastert's departure has been expected ever since a Democratic wave in November washed him out from the speaker's chair, which he had occupied since December 1998. Just days after the elections, Hastert resigned from the House Republican leadership and has served quietly as the congressman from the far suburbs of Chicago.
Hastert, a former high school wrestling coach, has remained a popular figure among House Republicans. During his eight-year speakership, he was often said to be the glue that held the fractious GOP majority together. While then-House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, resorted to threats and intimidation to keep the troops in line, Hastert used his personal appeal. GOP members simply did not want to disappoint him.
"If Denny ever decided to leave, his Capitol Hill presence would be greatly missed," said Ron Bonjean, a former senior aide to Hastert.
The former speaker's reputation was damaged late last year, however, when a House ethics committee report detailed how his senior staff appeared to hide allegations that then-Rep. Mark Foley, R-Fort Pierce, had made inappropriate advances on male House pages. Senior House leaders, such as Rep. John Boehner, R-Ohio, told the ethics panel they had alerted Hastert about the allegations against Foley months before they became public.
Hastert has also been dogged by ethics questions regarding highway funding bill earmarks affecting land close to property that he owns.

Home >> Daily News >> Thailand News >> Energy >> THAILAND SWEEPS AWARDS AT SHELL ECO-MARATHON ASIA
Student vehicles improve mileage performance despite a more challenging street circuit
Thailand has emerged major victors at Shell Eco-marathon (SEM) Asia 2014 with three champion titles. Team How Much Ethanol from Panjavidhya Technological CollegeThailand drove 2,730km on a litre of ethanol – the highest mileage recorded at this year's competition and the equivalent distance from Manila to Jakarta. The team is joined by fellow Thai winners SakonNakhonTechnicalCollege in the Prototype Gasoline category and RattanakosinTechnologicalCollege in the Prototype Battery Electric category. Since Shell Eco-marathon Asia started in 2010, Thai teams have been dominating the leader-boards with their winning ultra-efficient vehicles.
"Our winning formula was to focus 97% of our efforts on designing the car and 3% on the engine. Our car was custom-designed around our designated driver for optimal performance and we built the engine to maximise the capacity of our car," said ChumpholSitthios, team manager for PanjavidhyaTechnologicalCollege. "We also practiced on a Thailand circuit which has a similar layout to LunetaPark."
Mr. Asada Harinsuit, Country Chairman, The Shell Company of Thailand Limited, added: "We are really very happy and proud that once again a Thai team has won here at the Shell Eco-marathon Asia. Their innovations and skills have made them #1 for the fourth year in a row, and their extraordinary abilities will certainly continue to inspire the next generation of engineers to meet our future energy needs".
Improved Mileage Performance in Five Categories
Student participants of the Shell Eco-marathon Asia 2014 overcame the challenges of a new urban circuit to clock improved mileage results in five out of 12 categories, compared to the previous edition. New best scores were recorded for Prototype Diesel by China's Tongji University at 616.2km/l, Prototype Gasoline by SakonNakhon Technical College at 1,796.0km/l, Urban Concept Gasoline by Universitas Indonesia at 301.7km/l, Urban Concept Battery Electric by Institute of Technical Education Singapore at 126.3km/l and Urban Concept Diesel by Indonesia's PoliteknikNegeri Pontianak at 70.3km/l.
This is the first year Shell Eco-marathon Asia takes place on the streets of LunetaPark in Manila, having previously been held at the Sepang International Circuit in Kuala Lumpur. The new urban setting is designed to test the boundaries of fuel efficiency in a real world environment.
"A street circuit certainly presents more difficulty as vehicles tend to consume more energy while navigating urban roads. The fact that teams are still making marked improvements on their scores and clocking new personal bests is extremely impressive," said Norman Koch, Shell Eco-marathon Technical Director. This year's winners bested 105 student teams from 15 countries across Asia and the Middle East. Teams submitted vehicle entries in either the Urban Concept or Prototype category in any of the seven different energy types. Results are measured on who can drive the furthest on the equivalent of 1 kWh or 1 litre of fuel.
Closing the event, Edgar Chua, Shell companies in the Philippines Country Chairman said: "In the Philippines we have a saying 'the youth are our hope for the future.' When I look at all the young, budding students and what they have achieved at Shell Eco-marathon Asia, I too am inspired myself. I hope they have had a great experience – in learning new skills, absorbing new cultures and making new friends."
Six Off-Track Awards Presented to Outstanding Student Teams
In addition to the 12 On-Track awards, teams also competed for six Off-Track Awards that tested the team's various technical and creative skills, as well as their approach to safety and sustainability. A panel of experts from various fields judged the students on a variety of categories that covered Safety, Communications, Technical Innovation, Vehicle Design, Perseverance and Spirit of the Event and the Shell Helix Tribology Award. The Shell Helix Tribology Award is an off-track award that recognises student teams that demonstrate the use of lubrication engineering principles to improve the fuel efficiency result of their vehicles.
Shell Eco-marathon Asia also welcomed thousands of visitors to Asia's first ever Shell Energy Lab – a spectacular experience for people of all ages showcasing the future of energy, technology and mobility.

Salt and Stray popular Ice Cream shop is a big hit- December 2016
Salt and Stray is the new hot spot ice cream shop on Abbot Kinney in Venice. They are located at 1357 Abbot Kinney Blvd., Venice, CA – (310) 310-8429 This place was packed with a line out the door last weekend on a cold afternoon. I cannot imagine it in the summer. They source local ingredients and have very unique flavors. It may take a bit of time to get through the line due to guests trying different flavors. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. The manager Derek was so helpful and knowledgeable.
It is very difficult to choose only 1-2 flavors for a cone or cup. So they offer a flight of 4 different scoops in separate bowls on a tray. There are no toppings because all the flavors are blended with a variety of creative mixing that you will not see anywhere else. The ice cream is absolutely delicious. My favorites were the regular cookie dough, peppermint cocoa, silencio black tea & coconut Stracciatella, and honeyed buttered tarts but you really cannot go wrong unless you don't like a certain ingredient. I was not adventurous to go for the black olive brittle and goat cheese flavor as I don't like olives.
Salt & Straw Ice Cream is a chef-driven ice cream kitchen with scoop shops in Portland and Los Angeles that partners with local artisans, producers and farmers to serve unusually creative and absolutely delicious ice cream. Each ice cream is handmade in small batches using only all natural cream from local farms in each city. Flavors showcase the best local, organic and sustainable ingredients from Oregon and Southern California farmers and artisans as well as imported flavors from small hand-picked farms from around the world. The company started in Portland, OR serving eight flavors from an ice cream cart in May of 2011 and now has three scoop shops in Portland and four in LA. Scoops of handmade, small batch ice creams, sundaes, milkshakes and floats as well as pints to go are available at each with an ice cream sommelier of sorts who will gladly take you through a tasting of all the flavors. Favorites, seasonal, design your own variety packs and pint club memberships are available for online purchase and can be shipped anywhere in the United States. Salt & Straw's ice cream cart is available for catering parties and events. In April of 2016, Salt & Straw opened Wiz Bang Bar at Pine Street Market, a soft serve dessert bar featuring fresh spins on the childhood swirl, sundaes, novelties, and more. Find more information at www.saltandstraw.com or call 971-271-8168. Follow us on Facebook at Salt and Straw Ice Cream, Twitter and Instagram: @SaltandStraw.
Limited specialty flavors till December 29th- Salt & Straw, the iconic family-run ice cream purveyor known for its artisanal, chef-driven approach to an American classic, is now scooping flavors from its Holiday Classics series until December 29th. Churned locally in small batches and conceived of by Co-Founder/Head Ice Cream Maker Tyler Malek, the five-flavor lineup – which includes Gingerbread Cookie Dough, Honeyed Butter Tarts, and Fennel Five Spiced Eggnog – celebrates the season's most comforting flavors with seriously delicious (and festive) treats. Flavors will be available by the scoop and pint at the Larchmont Village, Abbot Kinney, Studio City, and Arts District locations all month. For more information, visit saltandstraw.com/flavors/#la.

Multimode (MM) fused bidirectional fiber optic star couplers & Optical Splitters are capable of operating over a broad wavelength range (i.e. 850nm and 1300nm). Multimode couplers are typically used for short distance data transmission. Gould multimode fused couplers can be used within fiber optic instrumentation, sensor systems and local area networks.
Our couplers are manufactured using the fused biconical taper process on fully software controlled automatic fabrication stations. The process consists of placing two or more fibers adjacent to each other, then fusing and stretching them to create a central coupling region. A fused coupler is a structure formed by two independent optical fibers. Please visit our Fused Biconical Taper (FBT) page for more information.
Gould Fiber Optics uses our patented GlasSolder process for making a glass to glass bond between optical fibers and silica substrate. This technique produces a uniform "solder" bead that affixes the fiber to the substrate to provide exceptional longevity in mechanical and environmental stability.
Gould's Truly Fused Multimode (MM) Star Fiber Optic Couplers & Optical Splitters (Nx3 &Nx4) can be manufactured using different fiber types such as 50/125um, 62.5/125um, 100/140um, and OFS 100/140/250um 0.2NA Graded Index.
Available in port configurations Nx3 and Nx4. Custom options are available upon request

Quicktalker 1 Switchchase
Chase has had some really good success using buttons and switches to do things on command. The ability to push the button down hard enough to activate it is one obstacle we have run into several times. We purchased this new innovative switch Quicktalker 1 last week. This switch allows a pre-recorded voice message, which you can change it easily at any time, to play when his hand touches the switch. We are hoping this product will open up many new doors on our quest to communicate with Chase. The switch can be purchased several places one of which is www.ablenetinc.com

That One's Husband
He wears his necktie crooked, like his smile,
While she will not set foot outside the house
Without each hair in its pin-determined place,
Each crumb banished from lip and collar,
Each nylon stocking running smooth
From pointed shoes to firmly gartered tops.
But when they are alone in the darkened house
She will put on the Beiderbecke records
And shimmy like a dance-hall queen
Until the pins shake loose in a silver staccato hail
And her hair comes falling down onto her shoulders,
Just to make him smile.

RSPCA calls for information after fox killed by illegal trap in Poplar
PUBLISHED: 09:00 12 October 2016
The RSPCA is asking for anyone with information to come forward after a fox was killed after being caught in an illegal trap.
The animal was found inside a building site in Leven Road, Poplar, on Monday with his leg badly injured and stuck in the snare.
Susan Naish, an Animal Welfare Officer, freed the fox but sadly it had to be put down due to the severity of the injuries.
"The wound to this poor animal's leg was horrific - it shook me up to see how much pain he was in," said Susan. "His leg was completely snapped in half and completely mangled - it was clear the suffering was extreme.
The device used to ensnare the fox is known as a gin trap and is designed to capture animals rather than kill them.
Gin traps were made illegal in 1954.
"These traps are illegal for a reason - they are brutal and cause a lot of suffering. It is absolutely disgusting that this kind of trap is being used in this day and age," said Susan.
"It is not just foxes like this one who are at risk from injury, but they could easily seriously harm a person or someone's pet dog or cat as well as wildlife."
The RSPCA urges anyone with information about who could have set this trap to come forward, in complete confidence, to call them on 0300 123 8018.

Ten Things You Can Do
To Stop The War On Iraq
Global Exchange
September 10, 2002
1. Call or Fax your US Senators and Representatives and express your opposition to an invasion of Iraq. You can find out the names of your Members of Congress and their contact information at www.senate.gov and www.house.gov or call the Capitol Switchboard at 202-224-3121. Ask your representatives to sign the ''Peace Pledge'' available at www.unitedforpeace.org.
2. Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper saying why you oppose the war on Iraq. Your letter should be from one to three paragraphs long. Possible points to make include: the Administration has not presented an adequate justification for going to war; Iraq does not pose a clear and present danger to the US; and an invasion of Iraq would violate international law. You can find out where to send your letters by looking on the letters to the editor page of your local newspaper.
3. Email a friend and ask them to join you in opposing the war. Send this list of things you can do to stop the war to a friend along with a copy of Global Exchange's Top Ten Reasons Why the US Should Not Invade Iraq, available online at www.globalexchange.org.
4. Join the national mobilization to stop the war on Iraq by organizing an anti-war event (a rally, march, vigil, teach-in, or other action) in your community October 5-7. Make sure to list your event on the website www.unitedforpeace.org. We expect there will be more than 200 ''No War on Iraq'' protests during those three days.
5. Distribute flyers about why people should stop this war before it starts. Good, heavily trafficked locations include bus stops, subway stations, grocery stores, college campuses, libraries, and churches, among other sites. For a sample flyer, go to www.unitedforpeace.org, print a pre-made high quality window sign, or call us at 415-255-7296.
6. Organize a weekly vigil against the war at the US federal building in your city, at the office of a Congressperson who supports the war, or at another public place.
7. Call a press conference where local community leaders, religious leaders, veterans, politicians, and others can speak out against the war. Once you have some community leaders who are willing to speak out against the war, determine the time and location of the press conference, send a press release to local media outlets, and then follow up with a phone call to tell editors and reporters what you're doing.
8. Educate yourself about Iraq and the US accusations against Saddam Hussein so you can discuss the issue with friends, family, and even strangers. We won't be able to stop this war if we can't convince people who don't agree with us to come over to our position. Websites that have good information include www.zmag.org, www.thenation.com, www.commondreams.org, www.alternet.org, www.pacificnews.org and www.endthewar.org.
9. Place a ''No War on Iraq'' banner in a prominent public place. Even if the banner is taken down within a few hours, people will see it while it's up, and they will realize that the opposition to this war is growing. You can hang banners from freeway overpasses and out the windows of buildings in downtown areas. It's easy to make a banner: just use paint or markers on a white sheet.
10. Connect with the local peace group in your community. They will undoubtedly have other ideas for how you can work to stop the war. Some peace groups that have chapters in many cities and towns include Peace Action and the American Friends Service Committee. You can also look at the events section on the United for Peace website, and see what groups are sponsoring events in your community. Or join Global Exchange's moderated email listserve by sending a message to email@example.com.

Lily Olsson     Aker BP   |   Business     🕐 14. Feb. 2020
Aker BP and Cognite announced a strategic initiative to explore how robotic systems can be used to make their offshore operations safer and more efficient.
Cognite, a global industrial AI software-as-a-service (SaaS) company, and Aker BP will do several tests using robots and drones on the Aker BP-operated Skarv installation in the Norwegian Sea during 2020.
The New Systems
The robotics systems will be tested to gauge their performance in autonomous inspection, high-quality data capture, and automatic report generation.
Tasks may include aerial and underwater inspections, responding to leaks, performing work that takes humans out of harm's way, and providing onshore operators with telepresence on offshore installations.
Spot, the New Employee
Among the robots involved in the initiative is Spot, the quadruped robot developed by Boston Dynamics.
Cognite and Aker BP have tested Spot's mobility in simulated oil and gas environments to ensure that it can access locations in these facilities too difficult to access through traditional automation.
The Spot robot was showcased at Aker BP's Capital Markets Update on 11 February 2020.
"Digitalisation will be one of the differentiators between the oil companies of the world, in order to be able to deliver low cost and low emissions. Our vision is to digitalise all our operations from cradle to grave in order to increase productivity, enhance quality and improve the safety of our employees. Exploring the potential of robotics offshore underpin our digital journey", Karl Johnny Hersvik, CEO of Aker BP, said in a press release.
"We're excited to see innovative partners such as Cognite validating Spot's ability to reduce risk to humans and provide value for the energy industry," said Michael Perry, Vice President of Business Development at Boston Dynamics.
The New Software Setup
Cognite's main software product, Cognite Data Fusion (CDF), will serve as the data infrastructure for the initiative. CDF, a cloud-based industrial data operations and intelligence platform, integrates seamlessly with existing IT and OT applications in the cloud, edge, and on-premise.
CDF contextually enriches industrial data, providing an open, unified industrial data model that is easily accessible for humans and applications, enabling better analytical operations and data-driven decisions.
"The key to Aker BP and Cognite's robotics initiative is that it combines industry-leading hardware and software. By ingesting data collected by robots into Cognite Data Fusion, Aker BP engineers will be able to see it in context with data from across the company's operations and make data-driven decisions that improve efficiency and safety," said Dr. John Markus Lervik, CEO of Cognite.
We believe that information should be free and will therefore never put up a paywall.
