The Voluntary Protection Programs Participants' Association (VPPPA) recently announced a charity campaign to raise awareness about mental health and mental health resources.
The Voluntary Protection Programs Participants' Association (VPPPA) recently announced a charity campaign to raise awareness about mental health and mental health resources. In a world where the majority of individuals deal with—or are affected by—mental health, this alliance is both necessary and significant.
The VPPPA released the following press release on Jan. 10, 2020:
VPPPA Announces Charity Campaign
Falls Church, Va. – The Voluntary Protection Programs Participants' Association (VPPPA) is teaming up with the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) to raise awareness about mental health and the resources that are available to those in need. The Winter 2020 issue of VPPPA's quarterly award-winning magazine, the Leader, will focus on mental health in the workplace, shining a spotlight on a topic that affects every worker, everywhere.
VPPPA has decided to make the Leader's Winter 2020 issue available for purchase as a stand-alone issue at a special rate of $5. All proceeds will be matched by VPPPA, up to $5,000, and donated to NAMI.
J.A. Rodriguez Jr., Chairman of the Board at VPPPA, said, "We are committed to being a major part of the overall solution and are excited to work together with NAMI. Through the power of partnerships and focused collaboration, anything is possible. Mental health in the workplace is not invisible. It takes all of us to shed light in this regard. We need to help."
The Winter 2020 issue of the Leader magazine includes eight feature articles. Some of the topics included are suicide in the construction industry, coping with PTSD, how to help your employees cope with mental health, and more. One article in particular, written by Dr. Sally Spencer-Thomas, details the new National Guidelines for Workplace Suicide Prevention. We are also excited to have an article by Frank King, The Mental Health Comedian, who, along with Spencer-Thomas, have both delivered multiple TEDx Talks and are top innovators in the realm of mental health work.
VPPPA is encouraging everyone to join this important cause by purchasing multiple copies of this issue of the Leader for distribution at their worksites. Let's help spread the word about mental health, and by doing so, support NAMI in offering resources to those in need.
For more information on the Leader magazine, or to learn how you can order your copy of the mental health issue, please visit www.vpppa.org.

In midwinter my family and two other families with littles of similar age, headed into the Colorado backcountry for our wee ones' first hut trip. Unsure of how it was going to go, I am happy to report it was a smashing success and our girl is hooked.
We skied into the hut and pulled our little lady in a pulk. She has ridden in our pulk plenty of times during the past two years, so she was excited about this adventure. However, when things got a little touchy, oh they got touch—she is a toddler after all, we shared a piece of the chocolate bar in Pappa's pocket and all was well.
The hut, excuse me, I mean, lodge was Walter's Hut on Vail Pass. It was luxurious! Not only 360-stunning views but it had everything from solar power to running water, hot showers and flush toilets! Roughing it, not really, but it was the PERFECT place to take three gals under two years on their first hut trip.
We played hard inside and outside all weekend long. We had such a blast, it is on our calendar for next year!

Classic Auto, Highway 160, Fort Garland, Colorado. Ok … my good friend makes a best assessment, a 1939 something. I've looked online for some ideas alas, to no avail, so I'm open to any and all suggestions. I made this shot from the highway as I drove past so didn't stop to ask. I thought it would be an easy task to find out through the internet. I'll be there again next week should there still be a question. Thanks for looking. G

Pivot Irrigator, Fort Garland, in the San Luis Valley, Colorado. When driving around the west, on the lookout for jaw dropping scenes to photograph, and add to the portfolio, sometimes I stop for an image that just happens to be there. In fact, when I look back through the years I find that I stop for a lot of images that "just happen to be there." Over all the miles I've traveled, these images fill in the blanks, and connect the dots on the map I've created over the years. Thanks for looking, G.

I just could not help going back to the headline as captured in the Guardian Newspaper recently regarding the issue of family planning and indeed population control. The annoying headline stated: 'Civil society faults minister's stance on birth control.' The civil society group - Project for Human Development (PHD) as led by its DG, one Engr. Jerry Okwuosa, to say the least, came down ferociously at the recent pronouncements of the Health Minister, Prof. Isaac Adewole who advocated increased use of contraception.

......to dream!
(note from the secretary: this image was drawn in the Parisian metro line n° 6, which is partly running not in a tunnel but on the surface, high above the river Seine and the roads nearby. It is a wonderful ride but a very bumpy one, don't know why, much bumpier than the line n° 9 which we take every day...)
Anmerkung der Sekretärin: Dieses Bild wurde in der Metrolinie N° 6 gezeichnet, die teilweise nicht im Tunnel sonder über Land verlaeuft, hoch über der Seine. Eine wunderbare Aussicht hat man da, aber die Strecke ist irgendwie besonders ruckelig! Ruckeliger (gibt's das Wort?) als die N° 9 die wir sonst jeden Tag nutzen.

Behind the Smoke Screen
Clearing the Air
There are many health and medical associations that are determined to vilify the use of alternatives to the traditional cigarette. As a $2 billion industry, e-cigarettes and vaporizers are rapidly growing in popularity, and are bound to make enemies along the way.
Presenting the Facts
While we obviously back the use of e-cigarettes and vaping, we aren't blinded by the greed of creating a revenue at the risks of harming our customers. Thus we will concede to certain points:
- The jury is still out on the long-term health impact on users, though various studies are being conducted. It is important to take these studies with a grain of salt, depending on who is financing the research.
- The industry is largely unregulated, which can make it difficult to gather unadulterated fact.
- While e-cigarettes and vaporizers are tobacco-less products, they still contain nicotine and other chemicals.
We make NO claims that e-cigarettes and vaping are healthy or without risks. So why are certain groups trying to ban these products?
The Taxing Truth
Delving into a discussion about the tobacco industry can quickly become extremely convoluted, so we just want to point out a few facts. There is no use denying the industry is still extremely powerful. According to WorldLungFoundation.Org, Big Tobacco rakes in about $35 billion in profit each year, so the federal and state government stand to make large profits as well. The current federal tax rate for cigarettes is $1.0066 per 20 pack, and the individual state tax rates vary from $0.17 to $4.35 per pack ( TaxFoundation.Org).
Taxation with Too Much Representation
According to The Tax Foundation, a non-partisan research think-tank based on Washington, D.C., "many states use collections from tobacco taxes to fund their public school systems, which raises important questions about distorted incentives and the stability of revenue for education". The local and federal governments have come to depend on the revenues created by the tobacco industry, whether for public education or other state-funded programs.
In our opinion, these facts certainly shed some light on the relationship between the tobacco industry and state and federal regulations. The government has apparently inhaled too much second-hand smoke to be a completely innocent bystander.
We Don't Hate, We Advocate
We aren't trying to shovel dirt on Big Tobacco (maybe just a little bit of blackened tar). We simply want the truth to be represented about our industry, both the good and the bad. We are currently members of NotBlowingSmoke.org, an organization that advocates for truth about the vape industry. It is committed to the committed growth and expansion of the vape industry, and helping businesses such as ours provide quality products and service to our customers. We are taking a stand because we don't want to be swallowed up in a David versus Goliath fight.

Phoenix, AZ (7/10/19) - The 4th of July holiday weekend keeps Arizona firefighters extremely busy.
The Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management reports, between Thursday, July 4th and Sunday, July 7th, firefighters responded to 46 wildfires across Arizona, on all land jurisdictions. Those 46 fires burned a combined total of nearly 4,000 acres.
Most of the fires over the holiday weekend were human caused, including vehicles parked in tall grass, debris burns, and welding. Fire activity remains high across the state, including the desert areas, due to an abundance of grass from last year's winter rain and snow.
Residents need to use caution when conducting outdoor activities that require an active heat source and should have water nearby if debris burning or using any equipment with an open flame. Drivers should avoid pulling off to the side of the road into tall grasses, ensure tow chains are properly secured, and vehicles are inspected before getting on the road.
Campers need to check area fire restrictions before leaving for their destination. Stage I fire restrictions are in place on some state and federal lands. Where campfires are allowed, always make sure they are cool to the touch before leaving. Drown campfires with water, stir, and then repeat until completely out.
As of today, 935 wildfires have burned more than 205,000 acres on private, state, federal, and tribal lands.
Of the 935 wildfires so far this year, 94% of them were determined to be human caused.

The information was released at a meeting to review mid-term implementation of the fourth Customs Party Congress' resolution on July 19.
At the meeting, the participants reported that the customs sector has applied hi-tech in management including electronic customs clearance, electronic collection and payment and scanning machine at Tan Son Nhat Airport and ports. These applications of new technologies facilitate import-export activities help saving time of clearance and cost as well as bring transparency.
However, some enterprises take advantage of e-clearance system to smuggle with complicated tricks through ports, international airport and post offices.
Consequently, customs officers are always on full alert and keeping collecting information for timely detection of violations, said Deputy Head of the Customs Department Le Dinh Loi.
Customs officers have discovered as many as 3,610 violations worth VND1,025 billion.
Furthermore, customs officers have paid visits to enterprises and demanded VND1,287 billion in tax arrears from several firms while the remaining companies pledged to pay later.
A leader the city's Department of Customs said its state budget collection is facing difficulties. The city's 2018 State budget collection was VND49,517 billion just achieving 45.84 percent of target ( of VND108 trillion)
The city's revenues from oil and petrol, iron and steel, fertilizers and automobile have dropped gradually. For instance, the revenues of oil and petrol fell VND1.88 billion in 2016 resulting in a state budget reduction of VND7 trillion.
At the end of June, 2018, automobile state budget reached around VND2,800 billion while it was nearly VND 9,700 billion in the same period.
However, some officers received disciplines. The sector Party Committee has dismissed corrupt seven from the party, suspend four people from participating in the party activities, disbarring three and criticize 12 party members.
Speaking at the meeting, Mr. Tat Thanh Cang, Standing Deputy Secretary of the municipal Party Committee, highly appreciated the sector's achievements especially improvements in collection for state budget. He reminded the sector to continue administrative reforms.

Flat boring paper
The snowfall of my mind smiles
Prompts in the forecast
The snowfall of minds gather
Blizzard of poems
Tuesday was a busy day! At the Go Dog Go Cafe Tuesday Writing Prompt, Devereaux and Beth requested poems that used the phrase "snowfall of my mind". While I did change it a bit for the second poem, I hope my offerings are accepted for this week.
Over at dVerse – Poetics, Gina reminded us about the magic in ordinary things. I chose paper and prompts as my ordinary things. As a poet, I use paper and write about prompts weekly. One day of contemplating these ordinary things lead to these appreciative haikus.
In this busy season, I hope you all can take some time to appreciate the ordinary – isn't this what the season is all about anyway?

Zim Vs Pak Live Scorecard
Pakistan is high unlikely to not wrap the series today. Zimbabwe will lock horns with Pakistan on Wednesday. Pakistan had convincing wins the first two games. This being a three match series, Pakistan just need one more win to wrap the series up.
Can Zimbabwe taste their first win?
Zimbabwe did not change their side in second ODI, This might indicate that they fell they are playing with best side. In that case they might not change their side third ODI either. They don't have the bench strength to rely on Only possible change could be is Elton Chigumburra replacing a lower order batsmen. Hamilton Masakadze scored a fifty in their last game. But that won't suffice to compensate the failures he is piling up. They never bothered Pakistan in the first two ODI's. They did not taste victory in the T20I series also.
Will Yasir Shah and Mohd Hafeez have their bite?
Pakistan won the t20I series on this tour. They were defeated only once after on this tour, against Australia in second T20 of the series. Unlike hosts, They can dare to vet their bench strength. Mohd Hafeez would like to be in the playing XI. Yasir Shah would also like o come back against a team like Zimbabwe. He is away from the side for two years. There are couple of players who wouldn't mind to be rested. Mohd Aamir is one among the category. With world cup one year away, Pakistan wouldn't risk on Aamir's fitness too much, Especially against Zimbabwe. Hasan Ali has a weird injury in second ODI. He injured himself while celebrating a wicket with his trademark celebration.
Babar Azam didnt look out of touch after coming out of injury. It highly unlikely fir him to finish the season without a century, Shoaib Malik will complete 7000 ODI runs this season. Pakistan would like to bat first to in order to give their batsmen more time. Zimbabwe would like to chase as the ground is suitable for chasing
Cricinfo Predictions
Pakistan to erap the series.
Babar Azam to score fifty.

Photograph by Kasia Ratajczak in association with Ros Model Management.
How did you begin your interest in design?
I have always loved designing, when I was young i made clothes for my barbies and other dolls. That was only time I was actually playing with them. When I got older I figured that I didn't like clothes what were in shops and tried to make my own clothes out of my mum's or sisters old clothes. So it has been always there. My love to knit and crochet has just well blended into it.
What's your practice like? Do you work from a studio or are you based at home?
Great thing about knit and crochet is that I can take it EVERYWHERE! But I am yarn hoarder by shame. I have a studio at home full of wool/yarn.
What artists/designers have inspired you over time?
I love pops of colour, and many high end designers, eg. Vivienne Westwood, have inspired me and I would have followed their work. Lately I find hard to get inspirations from catwalks. I really enjoyed Versace and Chanel's new AW18/19 collection and it has made me excited for next season. It hasn't happened for long time.
Tell us about the last collection you created and the inspiration behind it?
I wanted to use pink and grey contrast and be dearing. Also move away from accessories and do more clothing. I love pink roses or any flowers, I use them in my house and against grey background. So Feminine delicate soul with the strong mind would be the idea behind it.
Tell us about your process and how you take an idea and transform it into a finished piece?
I pick colours first then details and then work my way around it. Lot of the times I let wool to take me places, "wondering hook" so called. I try to sketch down if I have idea and have mood boards handy to stay in track.
What materials are you most drawn to working with?
Natural fibres like cotton, merino, alpaca etc etc. Silk, casmere and viscous has really come now my attention as well, specially when they have been blended in with one of the main wool produce.
What are your next steps with your brand?
AW18/19! Absolutely smitten about it!
What connections do you have to other designers and how do you feel about collaboration?
I love working with other designers and pass on my knowledge or take on theirs when

I have been making pots since graduating from university seventeen years ago. During this time I have worked in several potteries (Winchcombe Pottery, Whichford Pottery, Hook Norton Pottery) I trained and practiced by learning to throw other peoples (very beautiful) designs. For the past ten years, however, I have been making my own pot designs alongside teaching ceramics in a local college.
I trained as a production thrower and have been hugely fortunate in being taught and inspired by a marvellous collection of incredible artists- Ray Finch, Eddie Hopkins, Jack Doherty, Alistair Young, Toff Milway, Jim Keeling, Victor Hugo, Andy Gill and Liz Houghton- to name but a few!


text: Are mountains lions listed as a threatened or endangered species? Mountain lions are not threatened nor endangered in California. In fact, the lion population is relatively high in California and their numbers appear to be stable. Mountain lions are legally classified as "specially protected species". This has nothing to do with their relative abundance and does not imply that they are rare. How many mountain lions are in California? Any statewide estimate of the mountain lion population is just a "guesstimate." Mountain lion studies over the last 30 years have estimated population densities for different habitat types around the state. These density estimates varied from zero to 10 lions per 100 square miles, and were simply expanded to the total amount of each habitat type available. In 1996 CDFW used this method, relying on density estimates from previous studies, to derive as estimate of between 4,000 and 6,000 mountain lions statewide. In 2014, CDFW began working to update this estimate with more rigorous field and data analysis methods. CDFW anticipates completing this current effort within a few years. Where are mountain lions found in California? More than half of California is prime mountain lion habitat. Generally speaking, mountain lions can be found wherever deer are present, since deer are a mountain lion's main food source. Foothills and mountains and most suitable mountain lion habitat, while valleys and deserts are considered unsuitable. Are mountain lion numbers increasing or decreasing in California? There are indications that mountain lion activity, such as depredation, attacks on people, and predation on prey populations, peaked in 1996, then decreased somewhat, and have remained stable for the past several years. In 2014 CDFW began carrying out a statewide mountain lion study to determine status and trend of mountain lion numbers across California. CDFW anticipates developing a baseline population estimate within a few years, from which on-going monitoring can estimate localized trends if continued. Why can't mountain lions be hunted in California? With the passage of Proposition 117 in 1990, mountain lions became a "specially protected species," making mountain lion hunting illegal in California. This status and other statutes prohibit the California Department of Fish and Wildlife from recommending a hunting season for lions, and it is illegal to take, injure, possess, transport, import, or sell any mountain lion or part of a mountain lion. Mountain lions may be killed only 1) if a depredation permit is issued to take a specific lion killing livestock or pets; 2) to preserve public safety; or 3) to protect listed bighorn sheep. What constitutes a public safety threat? Under the CDFW's Public Safety Wildlife Guidelines, an animal is deemed to be a public safety threat if there is "a likelihood of human injury based on the totality of the circumstances." Factors that are considered include the lion's behavior and its proximity to schools, playgrounds and other public gathering places. The determination of whether an animal is a public safety threat is made by the CDFW or local law enforcement personnel on the scene. How often are mountain lions declared public safety threats in California? When a mountain lion is declared a public safety threat, the CDFW's goal is to eliminate the threat in the most humane manner possible. Capturing a wild animal that is accustomed to traveling great distances and confining it to a relatively small enclosure is not a humane option. Why can't the animal be captured and moved to suitable habitat that is more remote? When an animal is displaying unusually bold or aggressive behavior toward humans, the CDFW will not relocate the animal because of the risk it could pose to others. What causes a mountain lion to display unusually bold behavior toward humans? Sometimes disease will cause an animal to behave strangely. Some mountain lions killed for public safety reasons have tested positive for feline leukemia. A mountain lion that attacked a man in Mendocino County in 1994 tested positive for rabies. Usually, there is no apparent explanation for why a mountain lion seems to abandon its instinctive wariness of humans. Mountain lions are typically solitary and elusive. Studies of collared mountain lions show that they often co-exist around people, unseen and unheard. If I live in mountain lion habitat, how concerned should I be for my safety? Statistically speaking, a person is one thousand times more likely to be struck by lightning than attacked by a mountain lion. That said, mountain lions are wild animals and, like any wildlife, can be dangerous. People who live in mountain lion habitat can take precautions to reduce their risk of encountering a mountain lion. By deer-proofing the landscape, homeowners can avoid attracting a lion's main food source. Removing dense vegetation from around the home and installing outdoor lighting will make it difficult for mountain lions to approach unseen. Are mountain lion attacks on humans common? Mountain lion attacks on humans are rare. There have been only 16 verified mountain lion attacks on humans in California since 1890, six of them fatal. The last documented attack occurred in September, 2014, in Santa Clara County. Updated July 2018

If you missed it, rocker Bruce Springsteen just disclosed in his new autobiography that he has gone to therapy during down periods in his life and wrote that it was very helpful. He complained of depression, anxiety and self-doubt, even during the most successful parts of his career. It was a rare statement by a celebrity/public figure and reminded me that many of us men are afraid to admit that we need help and are often fearful of going to therapy. I'm here to tell you it's ok – I get it. But there is no need to be afraid or ashamed. It doesn't make you less of a man.
Many men will not seek out a therapist and often only do so when pressured by the female in their life. Sometimes a doctor will advise it or the legal system may mandate it. But overwhelmingly, I find that a female was usually involved in the decision to seek out a counselor for personal or relationship problems. Men are often responding to ultimatums and "threats" by their partners when they call to arrange an appointment. Male clients have told me that they think that talking about feelings is a sign of weakness. They worry that medications will be "forced" on them. Or, if they take the medications, the side effects will make them "less of a man". I suppose fear of medication exists for both men and women. But it seems to really discourage a man from seeking counseling altogether.
We males have long been conditioned (by other men) to believe that expressing feelings is not manly or acceptable. Traditionally, sports and coaches have reinforced this belief as well. For most generations, young boys have been taught to never cry and to "suck it up" or "be a man". We need to come together and cultivate a society that recognizes that it's not about being a man or a woman. WE ARE ALL HUMAN. Much like how we're trying to break the stereotype of saying "like a girl" and considering it an insult – i.e. cry like a girl, hit like a girl, etc. As a society, we still have a lot of work to do.
To add to our skewed view, since the therapy movement began in the 1950's, most therapists have been women and counseling was a traditionally female solution to problems. Men were mostly ignored in advertising by therapists and drug companies. Interestingly, many of modern therapy's schools of thought were developed by men and most psychiatrists in the past were males. But patients were usually women, who were expected by society to be the emotional ones.
Today, men will not use medications they often need for depression as reliably as women and their suicide rates reflect this. Another issue men have is TRUST – they worry that their innermost thoughts and fears will be disclosed to others by their therapist. This is far from the truth. Confidentiality is an important concept in therapy but is not always understood by clients. You should know that your identity and everything discussed with your counselor is protected by federal law. The only exception to this is a reported danger to yourself, others or children.
Thankfully, in recent years we have made some strides. Male attendance at counseling sessions has been steadily growing and this trend is encouraging. Seeking counseling is a sign of strength, not weakness. Taking care of yourself will have a cumulative effect on the people around you. When you take of yourself, you can then take care of your relationships and family. It's all connected.

(...) The Bolshevik opportunity arrived quite contrary to the Marxist expectation of mounting contradictions within the capitalist mode of production. The breakthrough theories of Barrington Moore and Theda Skocpol explain what provided this revolutionary opportunity in Russia. This opportunity was itself strongly predetermined by the emergence of modern bureaucratic institutions, nations, and classes that had spread from the west to the semiperiphery like Russia, Spain, Japan, and the Ottoman empire by the early twentieth century. Not only were governments and capitalist organizations actively learning from each other, but so were the various revolutionary circles, whose reach, through emigration and the dissemination of translated literature, became no less global.
This progressive diffusionary process was followed by the apocalyptic collapse of the international order in 1914. Memoirists and historians have traditionally explained the outbreak of pan-European slaughter in 1914 as a grotesquely tragic juxtaposition of chance, patriotic madness, and folly. But this explanation focuses on the events while disregarding less evident and slower moving structures-and here Fernand Braudel's famous disdain for the conventional histoire evenementielle seems particularly justified. To appreciate the world-historical factors that coalesced in the Bolshevik revolution, one has to turn to Karl Polanyi's classical commentary on the nineteenth-century "Great Transformation" of world markets as well as the more recent scholarly achievements of Giovanni Arrighi, and also to Michael Mann's intricate neo-Weberian pursuit of the causes and forces leading to August 1914.
The nodal point of 1919 remains largely ignored, yet, it was in the crucible of the civil war through which the key features in the peculiar taxonomy of the Soviet state emerged, in large part-for example, the national republics- completely unanticipated by the Bolsheviks themselves. The bout of revolutionary organizational inventiveness performed under colossal pressure and during a compressed formative period is what really made the Soviet Union. It is also what has undone the even likelier historical alternative at the time-Russian fascism.
What is really surprising is not that the Bolsheviks seized power but that they were still in power two years later. Far more likely was a reactionary dictatorship led by a general from the old regime like Anton Denikin. This outcome had numerous analogies across Europe (think of Jozef Pilsudski in Poland, Gustaf Mannerheim in Finland, or Generalissimo Francisco Franco in Spain). One may doubt that a more progressive military modernizer, perhaps Aleksandr Kolchak or Nikolai Iudenich, could have become the Russian Atatiirk-Russian peasant nationalism was inadequately developed to carry such a project. Even less warranted seemed retrospective hopes for a liberal parliamentarian Russia. The proponents of such a hypothesis would have difficulty explaining how Russia could have become the exception to the contemporary authoritarian trends and how its putative liberal government could have dealt with the worker, peasant, and national revolts while keeping at bay the militaristic "saviors of the Motherland." Furthermore, given Denikin's abysmal political record in dealing with the same challenges, a purely militaristic regime of restoration probably would not have lasted very long. Through an internal mutation or coup, a more activist fascist movement would have sought to correct the failure. In embryonic form, such movements were present in the White armies and later in emigration.
Fascism carried its own coercive solution to the agrarian problems and was one possible program for rapid state-led industrialization centered on armaments production, such as occurred in Benito Mussolini 's Italy or the contemporary Japan. But given that fascist revolutions from above bred virulent aggressiveness, one must wonder what might have been the consequences of attempted conquests of former imperial borderlands, possibly including the renewed pursuit of pan-Slavism or the Eurasianist project.
A fascist Russia would not have necessarily welcomed Nazi and Japanese expansionism. Geopolitical rivalry takes precedence over ideology at the level of world-historical causality. Besides, the Nazis themselves were none too eager to spread their ideological model. But could a nonBolshevik Russia have survived a direct clash with such an enemy? Could it have gathered the requisite industrial potential, organization, and popular enthusiasm? Perhaps, a key difference would have been American willingness to pour resources into a continental state opposing the Nazi bid for world power. An American-Russian alliance in World War II was strongly determined by the historical pattern of capitalist balance of power. Medieval Venice, the early modern Netherlands, Britain during the Napoleonic challenge, and America facing the German quest to replace the declining British empire consistently chose the same strategy: direct naval domination over the commercially important seas combined with the acquisition of allies for the ultimately murderous land warfare.
But if this model had prevailed, would scholars still be discussing, by the late twentieth century, whether Russia was reformable? It might prove difficult because, although geopolitically successful conquerors become more relaxed in their imperial grandeur, they also become resistant to change due to the conservative effects of what Max Weber called Machtprestige (the power-prestige). This resistance to change, of course, applies equally to communist-ruled Russia after 1945. But no less likely seems the possibility that the question of democratization would not have arisen at all in the alternative world that might have ended a Nazi worldempire or a dichotomous Nazi-American cold war secured by the nuclear deterrent. I would remind those whose ideological preferences might lead them to intensely dislike this line of reasoning that, for all the actual horrors of the twentieth century and Stalinism as its part (of which I, the descendant of both Armenian refugees from Turkey and the starved and deported Kuban Cossacks, do not need to be reminded), we may still have missed the worst.
And that is because the Bolsheviks won the civil war. Through a combination of ferocious determination to escape the fate of the Paris commune and the adoption of bureaucratic wartime economic measures, they achieved victory. Taking their political discourse from Karl Marx, the Bolsheviks followed other Germans in their organizational practice: Chancellor Walther Rathenau and General Erich Lüdendorf. The combination of a strong collectivist ethos with a future orientation and the centralized bureaucratic expropriation of Russia's vast resources made possible the Bolsheviks' glories as well as their infamies. The architecture of the Soviet state was determined in the main by the three institutions that had most contributed to the Bolshevik victory in the civil war: the centralized and all-encompassing nomenklatura system of political-bureaucratic appointment that helped to harness the segments of the former imperial bureaucracy, army, and industry; the forced mobilization of economic resources and manpower for the war effort that saved Soviet rule at least twice, in 1919 and again in 1942, before running it down toward the 1980s; and the establishment of national republics to tame the peripheral nationalisms, though only at an accumulating cost that would explode after 1989.
Despite my admiration for Cohen, I fail to see how a Bukharinist regime could have differed substantially from the Stalinist one. If Bukharin had proven less murderous than Stalin, this might have saved many lives, yet it is doubtful that Soviet industrialization could ever have been less despotic, because its character seems fully determined by the war-economic configuration of the Soviet state, its antagonistic relation to the peasantry, and the contemporary geopolitical context. Perhaps a less terroristic regime might have later facilitated a less oppressive political climate in the USSR. Could this have led to a more democratic and orderly overcoming of the Soviet developmental dictatorship? "Possibly" seems the only reasonable answer.
Much confusion derives from the optimist misreading of the New Economic Policy (NEP) experiment. Although NEP resembled the Chinese "four modernizations" after the death of Mao, the world-historical context was entirely different. The Bolsheviks' embrace of the gold standard during the 1920s flowed from the same revolutionary combination of bureaucratic pragmatism and messianic expectation. In the 1920s the belief in the modernizing power of free markets was experiencing a worldwide renaissance before the Great Slump. By 1929 the hope for foreign investment and domestic peasant-driven market revival had been exhausted. In the 1930s the Soviet state embarked on a quest to build a modern industrial base without capitalists, whether domestic or foreign. A major factor in this decision was the expectation of another world war. Soviet developmentalism thus became fundamentally military-industrial in character rather than export-oriented as it could be in China in the 1980s and 1990s.
In the words of Stephen Hanson, the Bolsheviks managed something that Max Weber himself could not have imagined-a charismatic bureaucracy that negated the dichotomy between "utopia" and "development". This major innovation had its roots in three western organizational breakthroughs: bureaucratic government, bureaucratic economic trust, and the bureaucratically directed mass political party. Yet the Bolshevik innovation itself was nothing exceptional. Taking their cues from Wilhelmine Germany (rather than from the peculiar Anglo-American pattern of capitalism under a minimal state), both Soviet Russia and Japan in the 1920s discovered the model of state-led industrial modernization or a "developmental state." After 1945 the model proliferated around the "developing" world periphery in a variety of Marxist, anti-imperial nationalist, and hybrid forms that are summarized in Immanuel Wallerstein's expression "Leninism with Marxism or without". The organizational diffusion of the model that, on the merits of its industrial, military, and educational achievements was regarded a great success during the 1950s and 1960s, induced the ideological impression of socialism's progressive march around the planet.
To restate it as a positive theoretical proposition, the purges and personality cult did not grow out of Stalin's head but rather from the newly achieved centralization of political, military, economic, and ideological structures. Such a degree of centralization-usually achievable only in the aftermath of revolutions, wars, or similar upheavals-in turn produced its charismatic embodiment in great hero/villain figures such as Napoleon Bonaparte in one historical situation or Mustafa Kemal Atatiirk, Mussolini, Juan Peron, Mao,Josip Broz Tito, Fidel Castro, Gamal Abdel Nasser, and Ruhollah Khomeini in their different but broadly comparable situations. It remains to be investigated whether there may also exist a special receptiveness to such national-statist rituals in predominantly agrarian populations during periods of rapid socioeconomic restructuring. The terroristic and "totalitarian" tendencies of twentieth-century developmentalism flowed from the same conditions: the unusually high autonomy of a state apparatus forged in the brutal ordeals of revolutionary struggle; the tremendous concentration of all powers in the same apparatus; and the burning desire to validate the developmental project and past sacrifices by delivering at a historically unprecedented rate modernizing victories without concern for the costs.

Corporal Anthony Duncan
Corporal Anthony Duncan is 1 of the 2 compensation cases that Bob Ainsworth (who is currently away on holiday) is trying to have his financial settlement reduced.
Cpl Duncan was originally awarded a lump-sum of £9,250 after being shot through the leg with a high velocity bullet in As-Samawah in southern Iraq in 2005, fracturing his thigh and leaving an open wound.
His payout was increased to £46,000 by a Pensions Appeal Tribunal after it was told of complications following extensive surgery which exacerbated the overall effect of his injuries.
Cpl Duncan, who underwent 11 separate operations on his leg and extensive rehabilitation at the Headley Court centre in Surrey.
What many people do not realise is that Cpl Duncan IS CURRENTLY SERVING with the Light Dragoons near the town of Gereshk in Helmand.
He is understood to have been involved in the recent operation Panther's Claw and was a friend of Lance Corporal David Dennis, who was buried yesterday after being killed by a roadside bomb.
Although the two servicemen have already received the money, the Ministry of Defence is challenging both decisions, fearing that the panel's interpretation of the law would set a precedent affecting "the large majority" of cases.
Nathalie Lieven QC, representing Mr Ainsworth, told a panel of three judges that the tribunal's decision was "arbitrary" as it was based its decision on the men's "overall condition" when they made their claim rather than the specific injuries, referring to how Cpl Duncan had since been cleared fit for service in Afghanistan.
So the whole basis of the claim is actually you sent him back to a combat zone, having had 11 operations on a leg. He has just watched his mate die and get repatriated home. As he is in afghanistan he must be fit..............Bulls**t.
I feel for this man. Wait until he returns home, wait until the uniform comes off, wait until it really hits him.
Many servicemen, commanders, politicians have condemed this action. The Royal British Legion accused the Government of "cheating servicemen of their rightful due".
Another disgraceful and shameful act of Labour trechary to the British Military.

Home from Williamsburg
I was away for a few days in Williamsburg, Virginia. I love going there and always come back with lots of ideas for projects and my gardens.
This visit was particularly nice because the trees are still green there and just starting to turn. Here, the trees are bare. The berries on the bittersweet wreaths I made popped so I still have some fall color in my windows.
I got lots of wreath ideas while I was in Colonial Williamsburg. The bittersweet and grape vines are still pliable here so now would be a good time to cut them and wind up some wreaths to decorate later for Christmas.
I really like bee skeps. I googled how to make them and they seem too complicated for now but I think it would be pretty easy to make them out of vines, in this traditional shape. Today, though, I am going to pot up some oregano, thyme and mint from outside. I saw these herb baskets and thought how nice they would be set in a sunny window during the winter.

The Public Prosecution Service (PPS) has published its annual statistical bulletin: 'Cases Involving Hate Crime 2018/19'.
The bulletin is set out in two parts, reflecting the two distinct definitions applied in cases involving hate crime, as recorded by the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) and the PPS. In Part One key statistics are presented in relation to cases involving hate crime submitted to the PPS by the PSNI, while in Part Two key statistics are presented in relation to cases considered by a Prosecutor to have involved hate crime which was 'aggravated by hostility'.
The key findings include:
Part One: Cases Involving Hate Crime Submitted by the PSNI
- There has been an increase in the number of cases submitted to PPS by police. In 2018/19 355 files were received, compared to 335 in the previous year (an increase of 6.0%).
- The majority of files received fell into the category 'violence against the person' (62.5%). The number of cases involving violent offences rose by 6.7%, from 208 in 2017/18 to 222 in 2018/19.
- Prosecutorial decisions were issued in respect of 432 persons, an increase of 1.6% on 2017/18 (425).
- Thirteen of the fourteen defendants dealt with in the Crown Court were convicted, while the conviction rate in the Magistrates' and Youth Courts was 73.1%.
Part Two: Cases Considered by a PPS Prosecutor to have Involved Hate Crime which was 'Aggravated by Hostility'
- The PPS issued 265 prosecutorial decisions in 2018/19, over two-thirds (71.3%) of which were for prosecution (179) or diversion from the courts (10). This compared to the 279 prosecutorial decisions taken in 2017/18, of which 67.7% were for prosecution (178) or diversion from the courts (11).
- The majority of the 265 decisions in 2018/19 related to offences which were either aggravated on the basis of race (131) or religion (75). Forty decisions related to offences aggravated on the basis of sexual orientation, while five related to disability. Fourteen were recorded as having multiple motivations.
- All sixteen defendants dealt with in the Crown Court in 2018/19 were convicted of at least one offence. Over four-fifths (80.5%) of those dealt with in the Magistrates' and Youth Courts were convicted, an increase on 2017/18 (68.3%)
- Of the total of 144 defendants convicted during 2018/19, 49 were recorded as having received an increased sentence where the judge accepted that the aggravating feature of their offence(s) had been proven beyond reasonable doubt.
The Hate Crime 2018/19 bulletin can be found on the PPS website.

Rugby League Live has an extraordinary article on the public lengths the Panthers are going to in order to snare Canberra's Terry Campese.
- Penrith are believed to be considering axing six players in order to save money under the NRL's salary cap, with the aim of launching a $350,000 bid for the Raiders playmaker.
The club could save between $500,000 and $600,000 by cutting Keith Peters, Matthew Bell, Maurice Blair, Junior Moors, Joel Romelo and Andrew Emelio, according to News Ltd reports.
I wonder how the friends of those players would welcome young Terry if he took the offer?

Have you ever wondered what type of income the wealthiest people in the world use to create their fortune and do it by working less hours?
Most people are relying on the more traditional way of creating an income for themselves and are getting know where fast; Such a way is:
Linear Income
The best way to explain linear income is money you receive when you work or trading your time for dollars. Working 40 hours a week and getting paid one time for those 40 hours. With this type of income your income is a direct result of you being actively involved continuously.
The problem with this type of income is the minute you stop working or get sick the income stops immediately. Meaning with out you being actively involved the income will not come in for you. Yes you may get vacation time but even that has a limit of 1-2 weeks then its back to work to keep income coming in.
Another problem with this type of income is that on your job you are helping your boss live on the Cayman Island or somewhere nice and warm sipping on a Margarita with an umbrella in the glass.
Here's a good question to ask yourself, "Who's helping you get to the Cayman Island or live the life of your dreams?
Luckily for you there is such a way to create the lifestyle you read about in the magazines or you hear about on TV. What if there was such a way to earn income continuously from work you have done right one time. Its through a income stream called:
Residual Income
Residual income is income that you continue to receive after a sale. An example of residual income is when you write a book, get paid for the initial sales of the book, but then get a percentage of all future sales. The percentage would be your residual income.
This type of income you see being generated mostly by celebrity singers, songwriters, inventors in the form of royalties.
The best thing about residual income is that it spurs off into multiple income streams for you as well such as:
Passive Income
This type of income allows you to earn income without actively being involved. Think of it this way, right now you are working 40-70 hours a week and getting paid once. How would you like to get paid for that same work you did working those 40-70 hours over and over again.
This is the true meaning of passive income this is what allows your boss to live on the beach while you slave at work all day.
The last income stream Residual Income allows is:
Leveraged Income
This is best described by a quote from one of the past wealthiest men in the world, J. Paul Getty. He said, "Id rather have 1% of 100 peoples efforts than 100% of my own!"
Leverage income allows you to earn income off the efforts of other people. Think it about if you were on vacation with your family and when you returned your bank account increased everyday. How good would that feel?

31 Dec 2018 Wedding Music: Bridal Party Recessional
What a doozy of a year 2018 was. We soundtracked more weddings than ever before and we properly hit our stride – completing our first full year – with the addition of an in-house modern civil marriage celebrant, and our unprecedented Celebrant+Soundtrack service.
But… this blog is about you. Specifically the music YOU chose to soundtrack the key moments of your best day ever. Maybe it was the fact that we simply attended more weddings this year, or maybe it's a sign of the times, but we reckon 2018 saw us playing less 'wedding' music and more music that our couples truly madly deeply just love. That's not to say that every song was super-fresh or uber-underground, but for most key moments (ie. aisle walk, registry signing, bridal recessional, reception entrance, cake cut, first dance, farewell), there was a pretty awesome mix of classics from eras past as well as current radio spinners.
2018 Wedding Music: Aisle Walk Songs
2018 Wedding Music: Ceremony Signing Songs
2018 Wedding Music: Reception Entrance Songs
2018 Wedding Music: Cake Cutting Songs
2018 Wedding Music: First Dance Songs
2018 Wedding Music: Farewell Songs
2018 Wedding Music: Dancefloor Party Songs
If your wedding song choices make these lists, or if they don't, that ain't no thang. This blog series is just a bit of Wedding Music FYI.
The important message here is pick what you want, regardless of how weddingy, or un-, it may be.
Anyway, as Calvin Harris might say…
No, not It was acceptable in the eighties… rather, This is what you came for…
Here's 2018's 5 Most Popular Wedding Songs For Bridal Party Recessional
(as played by us and picked by you):
All You Need Is Love
The Beatles
Send Me On My Way
Rusted Root
(BONUS: Our solo stripped-back version of Follow The Sun in a beach-front park in Kingscliff NSW)
All I Want Is You
Barry Louis Polisar
Best Day Of My Life
American Authors
Signed Sealed Delivered
Stevie Wonder
And just for fun, here's a few more that didn't exactly make regular appearances, but that we thought were pretty rad aisle walk songs regardless;
3. Burn Your Name
2. What's Golden
Jurassic 5
1. Celebration
Kool & The Gang

Welcome to the Home Page
Because of the goodwill, genuine concern and desire to be a part of the Kaierau Rugby Club shown by past members at the 125th Reunion, we have decided to form an Old Boys and Supporters Club. This to be an adjunct to offer both financial and substantive physical support to the Club. Achieved by:-
* Creating a link within the existing Kaierau webpage which will direct the user to items of general interest concerning the Club.
* Creating a network mailing list through both postal and e-mail addresses to inform members of upcoming events and promotions which may require some participation.
*Where possible, financially assist the Club through promotions by the Old Boys and Supporters Club, thereby broadening the financial liability and responsibility to a wider audience.
*To be part of this network a nominal annual fee of $40.00 will be levied (in effect a subscription which allows honorary membership and to enjoy being part of the Kaierau Rugby Football Club). The first payment will be for the period ending 31st December 2018
We've got a great clubhouse, fantastic facilities and tremendous support from members current and past. Hopefully our communications will result in seeing you all back at the club from time to time but if that is not possible, then the likes of our newsletters and photo galleries will give you an insight into what is happening from one week to the next.
The first part of this page has to be kept intact for new viewers to see what we are striving to achieve. For users of this site, hopefully you are clicking in to the banners at the top. Next to this one is News and next to that is Newsletter. If you click in to these it will give you up to date information. Through the season the website will regularly be updated and you will also receive regular emails if you are on our list. If you are not receiving an email please advise us of your email address and also spread the word to all other past players of Kaierau that you may know. A $40 subscription to the Old Boys club enables us to keep this site updated and also helps the club out immensely.
We invite you to join the Kaierau 'Old Boys and Supporters' Club as a first start to building that dialogue.

Right there! While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
adult fanfiction Draco and hermione
Knowing that there was only one person that it could possibly be, she steeled herself and rolled over to look into the grey eyes of Draco Malfoy. He then announced that there was going to be another fight, and again stated, that if she lost, Samual would be brutally dismembered— as she was forced to watch it happen. The AFF system includes a rigorous and complex abuse control system in order to prevent improper use of the AFF service, and we hope that its deployment indicates a good-faith effort to eliminate any illegal material on the site in a fair and unbiased manner.
He was fulfilling his promise to them. Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, nor any of the characters from the books or movies. After a few more fevered thrusts, he did. The young woman— his age, he guessed— stared in horror at the flaming home.

This bunka is great for those who love the look of this particular shape but aren't keen on the normally flat profile of standard bunka's. This Bunka has a very curvy profile which is great for rock chopping. Bunka's are very similar to Santoku's in their usage and are extremely versatile; They are a fantastic option for the home cook looking for that "go-to" knife they grab and use for pretty much everything and great for the professional looking for something compact, nimble and capable.
Knife Care (Stainless Steel)
- Although this knife is made from stainless steel we do still encourage our customers to keep their knives as dry and clean as possible.
- NO DISHWASHER - the high heat will ruin the wooden handle.
- Wash and dry by hand using regular dish soap and warm water using a none abrasive sponge or cloth.
- Ensure the knife is dry before being put away for storage and ensure the edge of the knife is protected to avoid any unnecessary dulling.
- Avoid Bones, Frozen foods, nuts and hard candies or anything other than fruits, vegetables and proteins.
