PERHAPS THE artiste with the biggest heart - Shaggy - came to visit with Missionaries of the Poor at Lord's Place. We met at CVM a few months ago. His comment was, "I'll do anything to help you, father." What struck me was his sincerity, and so I called him. "I will come tomorrow!" His response was immediate and, so said, so done. There was Shaggy with his family members (who I happened to know) and some friends full of enthusiasm to visit our monastery and then our home on Higholborn Street. For all his stardom, Shaggy is like everybody's big brother. He embraced all the kids and was especially taken by Bob, one of our orphans born with only one leg, one arm, shortened fingers, no toes, but full of gladness - four years old. Shaggy swept Bob off his feet, and Bob gave Shaggy a kiss on the cheek and then he wiggled on his mattress playing with Shaggy. They hugged and it seemed as though Shaggy was a child once again. Desire To Help He seemed very much at home. Simple, yet clearly a man of intelligence, he asked questions about the people: how can he help? What do they need? What can be done to improve their activity and mobility? At the home for HIV people destitute and abandoned, he was again, like a big brother. He was not at all in a hurry. He did not run away from our HIV people. He wanted to be with them, and they sensed his appreciation for them. Then we visited on the same grounds the elderly men and women at Lord's Place. "How many do you have in all, father?" I told him we have 650, then there are free clinics and a soup kitchen. Missionaries of the Poor feed over five million meals annually. "Don't worry, Father! We are going to help. I know some good guys. Sly, Robbie, and Tarrus, they will also record for us." Imagine the most talented singing and making music for the poorest of people. King David will be happy with all of this. King David is a great poet and musician. I said to myself, "The King David production at the arena will be great!" We listened to some tracks my friend Wynton Williams had put down in our studio. "We will record these tracks," he said, pointing to the song Rise Up. Shaggy, Sly, Robbie, and Tarrus are now doing the tracks Rise Up from King David, which we will present at the National Arena, beginning May 9 at 7:30 p.m. What an unusual island Jamaica is: With unusually talented people, and, an unusual mixture of people: all trying to build up this struggling island of ours. If we stay focused on the Lord and our poor people, all will be well and our future will be bright. Remember, the arena is usually packed up for our annual production!

From SFCV Emerging Writers Program Judging by her huge grin, Marika Yasuda, an Oberlin Conservatory piano performance major, was thrilled to take to the stage of Oberlin College’s Finney Chapel as soloist with the Oberlin Orchestra on April 11. The audience’s large turnout and enthusiastic response indicated that they were, in turn, delighted to have her. Last fall, Yasuda took the top prize in Oberlin’s prestigious Senior Concerto Competition, earning a solo appearance with the orchestra in Samuel Barber’s beloved Piano Concerto. Her performance made the piece the pinnacle of the night’s program of works by Barber and Benjamin Britten, conducted by Raphael Jiménez. The concerto begins with a piano solo that Yasuda dispatched with a drama that would have rendered a lesser orchestra superfluous. The first movement, Allegro appassionato, is lyrical but not dulcet. Introducing eerie themes that were taken up by the orchestra, Yasuda seemed to be directing some mysterious activity. Like a witch brewing a potion, her hands blurred on the keys as she churned layers of sound. The effect was complete with a sudden crescendo and cymbal peal that were the aural equivalent of a magician’s puff of smoke. The movement’s even more intense final crescendo suggested the height of the witchery, but the sudden ending was a tease. In contrast, the following Canzone movement was elegiac, featuring brief flute solos rendered with lovely lamentation by Aram Mun. Toward the beginning, Yasuda created a blurred texture with swirling scales in her left hand while picking out clear, simple phrases with her right. Then both of her hands enveloped the dark undercurrent as the orchestra took up the melody. In the final Allegro molto movement, the orchestra stayed steady despite the complex 5/8 meter. Faced with huge octave jumps requiring precise aim, Yasuda conquered them all, sometimes without even looking at her hands. A virtuosic performance from the first page to the last. Faced with huge octave jumps requiring precise aim, Yasuda conquered them all, sometimes without even looking at her hands. The next piece on the program, Britten’s Sinfonia da Requiem, is permeated by a recurring pulse. Beginning in the harp, it makes its way through the orchestra, eventually quickening into galloping phrases in the strings. Yet these rhythms, which should have propelled the piece forward, tended to drag. Jiménez slowed the tempo slightly at points, some of which must have been intentional. But what was perhaps meant to build tension instead introduced tedium. The Sinfonia ended well, however, with an unusually gentle climax. The instruments rose fluidly in volume, topped by cymbals that met softly — a light dusting rather than a crash. In the final bars, a long, steady clarinet note faded seamlessly into nothingness. It was back to Barber for the concert’s third and final piece, Medea’s Meditation and Dance of Vengeance — music Barber drew from a ballet he wrote for choreographer Martha Graham. For music inspired by the Greek myth of a princess so maddened by an unfaithful husband that she kills their children and his new lover, the piece is fittingly disturbing. It begins with soft, sustained string phrases that a xylophone colors with unnerving chromaticism. Jiménez led the orchestra deftly through a slow buildup of intensity — the meditation — into the dance, a charge of dashing horns and strings underscored by a low, pounding piano motif. Despite some minor tuning issues, the piece stayed tight and ended strong. Relentlessly accelerating strings climaxed in an abrupt cadence to end the piece, prompting a loud “Woah!” from one listener. “Woah” was an appropriate sentiment for a concert that was consistently impressive and, in Yasuda’s performance, truly stunning.

The Ad Age Presidential Campaign Ad Scorecard is sponsored by The Trade Desk Editor's note: Here's the 31st installment of the 2016 Presidential Campaign Ad Scorecard. The chart below represents a collaboration between the Ad Age Datacenter -- specifically, Kevin Brown, Bradley Johnson and Catherine Wolf -- and Kantar Media's Campaign Media Analysis Group (CMAG), together with Ad Age Digital Content Producer Chen Wu. Some context from Simon Dumenco follows. --Ken Wheaton Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and Gary Johnson. Earlier this week Donald Trump's campaign engaged in some insta-advertising -- quickly creating an ad that slammed Hillary Clinton for slamming Trump supporters with her notorious "deplorables" comment; it was slated to get TV time in at least four battleground states: Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Pennsylvania. But the reality is that, as much attention as that rapid-response advertising effort got, spending by the Trump campaign, together with pro-Trump PACs, continues to be a small fraction of the spending we're seeing from the Clinton campaign together with pro-Clinton PACs. In terms of booked TV and radio ad time from today through election day, Team Clinton is tracking at roughly 33 times the outlay of Team Trump. (Click here for one theory: that Trump is conserving cash for an October all-out attack-ad blowout against "Crooked Hillary.") Meanwhile, speaking of stretching the value of ad dollars: Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson made news on Tuesday when his campaign announced that he's managed to get on the ballot in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. -- and he's achieved that milestone with very little spending on TV and radio. Though he has been doing some advertising (see: "Is Gary Johnson Running for TV or for President?"), his spending relative to Clinton and Trump is so small you can't even see his bars in our bar chart below. To put all this another way, of the $149,912,723 millon in booked TV and radio spending through election day for these three presidential candidates, $145,299,727 is being spent by the Clinton campaign combined with pro-Clinton PACs.

Three Hispanic former employees of Target are suing the retail company for harassment and discrimination based on a training document with “multi-cultural” tips for managers that not all Hispanics eat tacos and burritos, dance salsa, or wear sombreros. Distributed to warehouse managers, the guide was provided to remind employees of the need to be culturally sensitive in the workplace. It offered tips to better manage Hispanic employees. According to the lawsuit filed by the three former employees in Yolo County, Calif., the in-house memo aims to dispel cultural stereotypes–while reinforcing stereotypes of different Latino groups. Titled, “Organization Effectiveness, Employee and Labor Relations Multi-Cultural Tips,” the document–according to the complaint–states the following on Hispanic employees: a. Food: not everyone eats tacos and burritos; b. Music: not everyone dances to salsa; c. Dress: not everyone wears a sombrero; d. Mexicans (lower education level, some may be undocumented); e. Cubans (Political refugees, legal status, higher education level); and f. They may say ‘OK, OK’ and pretend to understand, when they do not, just to save face. Robert Gonzales, Bulmaro Fabian and Pedro Garcia-Ayala have issued a complaint that nearly all the management positions were held by Caucasians who regularly targeted Hispanics and used racially charged language when addressing Hispanic employees. In the lawsuit, the three plaintiffs charge the managers with saying things like, “Only a ‘wetback’ can work this hard,” “You got to be Mexican to work like this,” and “What the hell, I’m already sweating like a Mexican.” In an email to msnbc.com, a Target spokesperson apologized for the distribution of the offensive memo and said that it “was used during conversations at one distribution center” and “was never part of any formal or company-wide training.” “It is never Target’s intent to offend our team members or guests and we apologize,” the memo stated. “The content of the document referenced is not representative of who Target is.” Gonzalez says he reported the issue to his human resources department, but his complaint instigated even more racist and abusive behavior from his supervisors. The three were fired and are now seeking punitive damages for harassment, failure to prevent harassment, age and race discrimination and retaliation from the national retailer. The lawsuit alleges the managers’ memorandum indicates rampant discrimination against Hispanic employees that occurs regularly within the company. Molly Snyder, a spokeswoman for Target, said, “At this time we have not been served with the complaint, so I am not able to comment on it directly. However, I can share that Target is firmly committed to diversity and inclusivity in our workplace. We never tolerate or condone discrimination in any form, and have extensive policies and procedures in place to prevent discrimination. As this is pending litigation, we don’t have anything additional to share at this time.”

Michael Fallon added Nato members must pay more and not expect US taxpayer to shoulder disproportionate burden British defence secretary Sir Michael Fallon, making the first trip across the Atlantic by a UK cabinet minister since Donald Trump won the election, told the incoming administration that Russia presented a real threat that only Nato could deter. Trump on the campaign trail repeatedly spoke warmly about a need for increased dialogue with Russian president Vladimir Putin while questioning the basic tenets of the Nato alliance, in particular that an attack on one constitutes an attack on all. Such comments created alarm among Nato members, particularly in the Baltic states, who, even though Nato members, fear Russia might seek to destabilise them. Fallon, speaking at a major defence forum in California that brought together senior members of the US defence establishment, announced a £100m contract with Californian drone company General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc to develop technology for the Protector drone. The UK announced last year that it will replace its present fleet of 10 drones with 20 of the new Protectors, due to come into operation around 2020. The new contract is to improve the imagery from drones as well as securing improved communications links, the loss of which is one of the commonest causes of drone crashes. Fallon urged the Trump administration not to retreat into isolationism, one of the populist threads during his campaign. “First, it is important that America remains an outward-looking nation,” Fallon told the conference. The defence secretary’s speech aimed to balance establishing a rapport with Trump’s administration while sending a message that the UK regards Nato as the cornerstone of European defence and concerns over Russia. He told the conference that Nato countries are in a “strategic competition” with Russia. Fallon said: “Russia’s actions in Crimea and Ukraine have tested the alliance. You only have to visit Nato’s eastern flank to understand the acute sense of vulnerability that abounds. There’s no point pretending this is business as usual. Dialogue with Russia is useful. But deterrence is essential. “Our unity sends a powerful signal of collective strength to potential adversaries. The US administration has always stood up to Russian intimidation. That was how Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher helped bring down the iron curtain in the 80s.” Fallon, who already knows Trump’s appointee as defence secretary, General James Mattis, offered some soothing words for the incoming US administration over Nato, saying it should not rely on the US to provide so much of the funding and that other members needed to step up. “So to my second observation. Nato is the world’s most successful military alliance and it is as good for the US as it is for Europe. It was the alliance’s collective commitment that invoked Article V after America was attacked on 9/11.” But he added: “I firmly agree with your president and your president-elect that many Nato nations still need to do more to pay their way. Nineteen Nato members spend less than 1.5% of GDP on defence. The US taxpayer can’t be expected to shoulder a disproportionate burden.”

Can I fight my DUI? I was recently stopped and arrested for DUI. During the field sobriety test the officer performed the one leg and stand and turn but on a very sloped surface, even after I brought it to his attention. Then he performed the eye test but while I was directly looking into his flashing lights (states in NHTSA handbook never to do this). When we got to the station I attempted to contact a lawyer but had no luck. At that point, I told the officer I was not going to take the breath test (my right as far as I know). He then proceeded to persuade me to take it telling me it would be better for me, etc. (all before even reading the implied consent forms). When you are in the back of a police car or t the station you tend to do what the police tell you.

A total of ¥1.4 billion in cash was stolen from some 1,400 convenience store ATMs across the nation in the space of two hours earlier this month, investigative sources said Sunday. Police suspect the cash was withdrawn simultaneously using counterfeit credit cards containing account information leaked from a South African bank. Investigators now suspect a large-scale international crime organization was involved. Police investigators will work with South African authorities through Interpol to probe the incident, including how credit card information was leaked, the sources said. The theft took place on the morning of May 15 in Tokyo and 16 other prefectures, and police believe more than 100 people might have worked together to execute the grand theft. In each of the approximately 14,000 transactions, the maximum amount of ¥100,000 was withdrawn from Seven Bank ATMs using the fake credit cards, according to the sources. ATM transaction data suggests that information from 1,600 credit cards issued by a South African bank was used, the sources said. Police are now checking images taken by security cameras in the stores to identify those who withdrew the money. In 2012 and 2013, a total of ¥4.5 billion was withdrawn with forged credit cards from financial institutions in more than 20 countries, including Japan. Japanese police have put suspects belonging to a Malaysian group on an international wanted list.

Despite the early hour, everyone else was up too. It must be hard to sleep in when people are stepping over you. The airline personnel were back at their posts, schedules were displayed with flights officials thought might actually leave today. Announcements came over the PA system with calming regularity. Lines were formed. Long lines. For miles. He went to Air France International and saw that his line was a potential problem. As early as it was, there were literally hundreds of people ahead of him. Worse, the line was not moving. He texted me "moving an inch per hour." He waited. And waited. (Insert here long periods of waiting while absolutely nothing happens except for the low moaning of muttered anxieties and whining children with mostly legitimate complaints.) Every now and then everyone would obediently move forward the space of one person. Then more periods of nothing. He realized that at this rate he might actually miss his plane. He left the line and took his luggage forward to investigate. He found gaps in the line, groups of people who, while probably in line, were not keeping up. He kept going until he was almost at the front. Seeing an opening, he took his chances and ducked in. Not one to normally cut in line, he waited to see if someone might object. No one did. A couple of minutes later he was at the counter, checking in his bags. Freedom was within his reach, finally. Boarding pass in hand, he sailed through security. Well, sailed is almost certainly an exaggeration. There was a security line and he waited in it. But compared to everything else, this was smooth sailing. Of course, a deal is not a deal until you actually board the plane. And that really isn't a deal until the plane is "wheels up" in the sky. And when you remember that there were several planes halfway across the Atlantic who were turned around and sent back home, you understand that a deal isn't a deal until you hit the North American continent. Then, and only then, can you let your breath out. According to FlightStats his plane just crossed the border of Wisconsin. The flight was delayed, but is now close enough to home for us all to breathe. XAV 2, FRANCE (and the Volcano) 0 Game over.

Are you aching for just a bit more...everything on your Amazon Echo? Improvements and additions might come soon, as Bloomberg reports the company is working on a premium variant of the Echo smart speaker — one that will have a 7-inch screen. According to the report, which cites two people familiar with the matter, the new Echo will be a radical departure from the current, simple cylindrical design. In addition to the 7-inch screen, the new Echo will have much-improved speakers. And the gadget will tilt upwards so that you can easily access it while standing. Details at this point are vague, but in terms of design, we're imagining something akin to a Fire tablet on a stand or a smaller Surface Studio. The new Echo will run on a modified version of Fire OS, the Android-based operating system that powers Amazon's Kindle Fire tablets. And, just like other products in the Echo family, it will respond to voice commands courtesy of Amazon's smart digital assistant, Alexa. A similar device, nicknamed "Knight," was mentioned in a Wall Street Journal report in May 2016, but far fewer details were known then. This new Echo could be launched as soon as the first quarter of 2017. The report does not metion an exact price, but says that it will likely be pricier than the current Amazon Echo, which costs $180.

The dictionary of 2020 – mostly philosophy Skip to content mostly philosophy mostly philosophy ☰ Menu Home About Contact Blog The dictionary of 2020 Posted on January 5, 2021 January 2, 2021 by maylynno Photo by icon0.com on Pexels.com Words are revelations of the thinking process. A single word can speak thousands words about a new shift of mentality. Moreover, a single word can define an era, its challenges and its bright side. 2020 is no exception: it will always be remembered as the year of the pandemic as it is its main word. Let’s check the more important words of this year. According to a quick google search, the list is very long and obviously some words can vary from one country to another depending on each country’s problems. However the common ones are: Pandemic (which is an epidemic that has escalated to affect a large area and population) caused by the Coronavirus, later determined as Covid19 as a new generation of the coronavirus family. Covid19 forced the world to be in quarantine (a state of enforced isolation designed to prevent the spread of disease) which gave us later the words lockdown and curfew as governmental ways to face the spread of the virus. Speaking of which the following words are direct results of the illness whether it is symptomatic or asymptomatic. For that sake, a PCR test have to be done to make sure if one has gotten the virus or not. For all these reasons, people have to wear masks and/or face shields, respect social distancing (which is more of a physical distancing) and hygiene instructions. The direct consequence of the pandemic was shifting the way of life to adapt to the new worldwide situation. Therefore, work became work from home or remote work (and for that sake read my previous post about this subject Why does my food taste like emails? ), teaching online and selling online. Hence the frequent usage of words like Zoom call, Skype call, Video call. To sum up 2020 in one concept, it is the year of Biopolitics like never before.

KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Fantasy football players take note: Tyreek Hill could average as many as 70 snaps a game as a wide receiver and returner in 2017. So says the coach of Kansas City’s rookie sensation. MORE: SN's 2016 All-Pro team “He was averaging 35 plays a game (in 2016),” Andy Reid told co-host Kirk Morrison and me Thursday on SiriusXM NFL Radio. “Maybe he can double that or at least take it up a couple notches and allow him to get in more in a starting role.” Hill started one game this season and registered only eight touches as a receiver and rusher in Kansas City’s first three contests. Hill’s role gradually increased to where he led all AFC rookies with 61 catches for 593 yards and six touchdowns, along with another 24 carries for 267 yards and three scores. Hill also was a unanimous All-Pro selection at punt returner after averaging 15.2 yards and scoring twice on 39 returns. “We use him a lot on special teams obviously,” said Reid, whose team made Hill a 2016 fifth-round draft choice. “When he came to us, that’s what we originally thought we had. He then said, ‘Listen I can do this offensive thing.’ He’s innately a smart kid. We kept adding to it and he got it. “I’d expect him to learn that whole (playbook) by the end of all the OTAs and training camp and then be even more of a threat.” MORE: Every franchise's best team of the Super Bowl era The future is less certain for three long-time Chiefs players in linebacker Derrick Johnson, running back Jamaal Charles and safety Eric Berry. Johnson, 34, is recovering from a torn Achilles tendon suffered in mid-December against Oakland. Charles, 30, appeared in just three games last season because of knee surgeries. The Chiefs would clear $7 million in salary-cap space by releasing Charles. Johnson already is guaranteed $2 million in salary, but the team could avoid paying him an additional $2.75 million by releasing him before March 11. Reid didn’t reveal which way the Chiefs are leaning. “I love both of them,” Reid said. “They are getting a little older. D.J. is like a fine wine, man. This guy gets better with age. He is coming off an injury, which is tough. We’ll just have to see with that. … I wouldn’t put anything past the guy. “Jamaal has been busting his tail. Every day he’s in (rehabbing). He wants to still play. That’s just one you have to kind of see on how things work out for him. He’s had a couple of those knee (injuries). But he’s in the right frame of mind, I can tell you that for sure.” MORE: Kansas City Chiefs' best of all time As for Berry, the Chiefs have the option of designating him their franchise player for a second consecutive season. Reid, though, is hopeful Berry can be signed to a long-term contract. “We love E.B. I think everybody in our building would ditto that,” Reid said. “If we can get this thing done, that’s obviously a priority in the offseason. It’s been a good marriage.” Alex Marvez can be heard from 6 to 8 p.m. ET Friday on SiriusXM NFL Radio.

Well, I’ve had debate with on “Marxism and Anarchism” with the AWL. This is an informal report on it. My great memory will be when a Liverpool AWL member proclaimed (and I’m quoting from memory here) that “if anarchists continue to talk like that after a revolution then you had better watch out”! Yes, really, a veiled threat of a visit from the Cheka under the wonderfully democratic workers’ state. Talk about making my point for me… But I am getting ahead of myself. I have to admit to being less than enthusiastic about the event (details here). Particularly as I was going to miss my children’s summer fete at French school (I had agreed to the debate not knowing that was on – so I’m only a semi-bad parent!). After carrying lots of books (thanks to Freedom Bookshop), Black Flags, Anarcho-Syndicalist Reviews and a special “AWL versus Anarchism” leaflet to the event, I was sitting at my bookstall thinking “why am I here?” for the first hour or so. Then a comrade down from Liverpool came up and was extremely happy to see an anarchist stall. After talking with him, I got more optimistic about being there. That feeling grew as the day went on as I talked to others. I had back-copies of Freedom and Black Flag, which I was handing out for free. I also had my leaflet. Interestingly, getting AWL members to take them proved to be somewhat difficult. The same thing happened when I’m been outside Marxism in the past. In spite of being there to discuss ideas, our party comrades seemed very unwilling to take leaflets from others. I guess they had already made their minds up – I guess they had read all they needed to read from the four (terrible!) articles on anarchism which appeared in the paper recently. I don’t understand that mentality, as I’m interested in what others have to say and I would have jumped at the chance of getting the AWL equivalent of Black Flag for free. Still, given how many AWL members simply repeated what I said in my talk but apparently thinking this was “Marxism” shows that unwillingness to engage with libertarian ideas is pretty deep. But, again, I get in front of myself… I did get into a longish discussion with an AWL member on full-timers within the socialist movement, which was interesting. He argued that full-timers may not become isolated from the working class if they, for example, live in working class areas rather than actually work. In short, there is no single working class experience (true) but that does not mean Lenin was right to argue for “professional” revolutionaries. I was just discussing how the CNT went bureaucratic when it got a layer of full-timers after the revolution and I got a phone-call and the discussion stopped. Ah, well. I still think that Durruti is still a model – full-time revolutionary when required, then back to being a worker and CNT member or looking after his daughter when he could not get a job and his partner did. I also had a short discussion on Maurice Brinton (thanks to a copy of For Workers’ Power the stall had) and Solidarity with someone else. We both agreed they were an important group (and I would highly recommend this anthology – as my review indicates, it is a great work). Eventually a comrade from the Anarchist Federation turned up. I picked up a leaflet called “10 reasons you should join Workers’ Liberty” and read the following classic line: “Others on the left see socialism as something handed down to workers by a government they do not control.” I then wondered why, in that case, the AWL supported the Bolsheviks. An AWL member overheard this and decided to debate with us (given how quickly he took umbrage to my passing comment, I get the impression he was looking for an opportunity to do so). And so started the strangest discussion I’ve had in some time. I won’t be able to cover it all, but I started by asking how he reconciled this party statement with support for Lenin and Trotsky. Surely disbanding soviets, advocating party dictatorship and so forth simply made that an impossibility. He suggested that using “one quote” from Trotsky to dismiss Leninism was unfair. I pointed out that it was far more than one quote, there were multiple quotes over two decades. That is a significant ideological commitment to the position – not to mention actually imposing it in 1918! How to reconcile a proclaimed support for democratic socialism with a proclaimed support for a tendency which implemented and advocated party dictatorship? He strangely took objection to me saying that the Bolsheviks “smashed” soviets – a word applicable, surely, if you disband soviets by force? I quoted Trotsky from 1918 defending the need for appointments from above by the argument the government was “better able to judge in the matter than you” (the masses) and that he argued (I somewhat paraphrased this one!) “how could the soldiers who have just entered the army choose the chiefs! Have they have any vote to go by? They have none. And therefore elections are impossible” before joking if only the Tsar had thought of that one! I then got a very serious “are you comparing Lenin and Trotsky to the Tsar?” No, I said, although both the Tsar and the Bolsheviks did disband soviets, break strikes and imprison socialists, anarchists, workers and peasants – but not, of course, in the name of socialism in the case of the Tsar nor did his regime proclaim the necessity for party dictatorship to the world socialist movement (as Zinoviev did in 1920 – our AWLer had an issue with Zinoviev, not being that happy to include this leading Bolshevik in the Leninist family tree but grudgingly doing so in the end). He was at pains explaining to me what I had said, even though no such thing came from my lips, namely that the anarchist analysis I had presented (not that I had said any of this analysis he claimed I had) was the same as the “right-wing” one, namely denying the Bolsheviks had popular support and that it was an alien body inflicted upon the Russian workers. When I got the chance, I repeated that the Bolsheviks did have popular support in 1917 – but that they lost it in the winter of 1917/8 (see section H.5.12 of An Anarchist FAQ). The party membership collapsed and the Bolsheviks were alienated from the masses (something the Bolshevik leadership themselves admitted at the time). My comrade from the Anarchist Federation noted later while the membership in 1917 had been working class, the leadership remained non-worker in origin. In response, they gerrymandered and disbanded soviets (see section H.6.1) including the 5th All-Russian Congress (see Rabinowitch’s excellent book The Bolsheviks in Power on this and the gerrymandering of the Petrograd soviet – see my review for a summary). Which our AWLer did not deny, but did not wish to dwell on. I stressed that the Bolsheviks said one thing and did the exact opposite. For example, arguing for the fusion of executive and legislative powers in the soviets and then, on the night of seizing power, creating an executive body (a Bolshevik government) over the soviets. That was not in Lenin’s State and Revolution (see section H.1.7). It would be like Tony Blair asking us to look at Labour’s Manifesto commitment not to introduce Student Fees when asked about why they introduced them. To which I got the reply “Are you saying that Lenin is like Blair?” Obviously not, I replied, but both promised one thing and did the opposite. It is the action, not the analogy, which matters! I also asked him when he thought Bolshevism went off the rails. He looked puzzled so I suggested the early 1920s. He agreed and I clarified 1923 and he again agreed. So the Bolshevik regime was, apparently, a workers’ state between 1918 and 1923 when there was first a de facto and then a happily proclaimed dictatorship of one party, when there was one-man management in production, no democratic military, a secret police, and so on. Hardly “workers’ liberty”… Nor did Trotsky’s Left Opposition question all of that – quite the reverse! Strangely, he did not deny the Bolsheviks did all this. He just refused to allow these actions to define Leninism. Strange, as this was what they did when they were in power and so, surely, this counts far more than articles form 1917? I also suggested if you don’t look at all these issues then “Bolshevism” becomes, basically, what the Bolsheviks did between March and October 1917. And the AWL’s position means that socialism CAN be “handed down to workers by a government they do not control” as long as the right people are in power – namely, Lenin and Trotsky and, I assume, the AWL leadership. What other conclusion can you draw? Of course, our Leninist denied this. So there we have it. The AWL are committed to “workers’ liberty” but, at the same time, make an exception for Lenin and Trotsky. Indeed, you can advocate party dictatorship for two decades (in and out of power) but can be a major influence on the AWL’s politics in spite of proclaiming and implementing policies which, according to their own leaflet, the AWL is totally opposed to. Strange. How to marry these obviously contradictory positions? No attempt was made, other than to invoke the image of the Bolsheviks as being, well, great socialists… except great socialists who acted in the same way as the Stalinists who are, according to the AWL, not socialists at all… it seems to be a case of WHO does something as the key thing, not WHAT they do… Altogether, a very surreal experience. It was very strange, as was the meeting (hence the title of this blog!). And then I had to get ready for the debate… Before discussing the meeting, I should mention that the next day I noticed that leaflet proclaimed that the AWL rejected socialism being introduced and “based on a parliament (like the old-style Labour government in Britain).” Yet both Marx and Engels proclaimed that socialism could be voted in, using elections to parliament (see section H.3.10). They pointed to both America and Britain (Engels later added Holland and France). I assume they would not be allowed to join the Marxist AWL... As I noted in my speech, there is no call for workers organisations (whether unions or councils) to be the framework for a socialist society in Marx and Engels – they is in Bakunin and Kropotkin. I also noted that it took five decades for Marxists to catch up, namely Lenin’s State and Revolution – which I quoted (anarchists have “absolutely no idea of what the proletariat will put in [the state’s] place” – see section H.1.4) before stating the obvious: Lenin was clearly another Marxist who failed to read anarchist books before commenting on it! The AWL leaflet also added: “Most socialist groups think that Stalinist ‘communism’ was, if not really socialism, at least a ‘degenerated’ form of workers’ rule. We disagree.” Which raises the question, why do they think Lenin’s regime WAS socialism? If socialism (according to their leaflet) is “a society in which the workplaces are owned collectively and run democratically for the benefit of everyone” then, clearly, the Bolshevik regime was never socialist (s tate capitalist would be better, as I suggested in the meeting) Now to the meeting. It started late and, as a result, our allotted time fell from 25 to 20 minutes (I was given a range of 20-25 minutes and so aimed for 25 – I had a lot to cover!). This threw me, somewhat, I must admit, as I had to chop a fifth of my talk. I will be writing up my speech and will post it once I have done so, plus a pdf of my leaflet “AWL versus Anarchism.” Suffice to say, I did feel we were discussing different things. I presented a large-scale overview of anarchism and Marxism from the 1840s to the 1920s, concentrating on the Russian Revolution and Bolshevism in power (via th e 1848 revolution and the Paris Commune), while Martin Thomas focused on three apparently key issues – political action and elections, the need for a workers’ state and the need for a party. Martin was a lot better than the previous AWL speaker I had 8 years ago (shame his articles on anarchism were so bad!). He argued that the AWL was in favour of organising political parties, standing for elections and winning political reforms. Strangely, he did not mention the fate of the first Marxists to do that – the Social Democratic Parties – nor their fate (the rise of opportunism and their descent into reformism). Unsurprisingly, I had mentioned that. I should also note that anarchists are also for passing political reforms – but by direct action. Anarchists do not ignore elections, we do organise anti-election campaigns to stress that real change does not come from the ballot-box but from the streets and workplaces. Sadly I failed to mention that during my summing up (in my defence, I had a lot to cover) so I’m doing so now. He suggested that we don’t know enough about the future socialist society to organise in a liberation way now. Yet this ignores the obvious fact that the future is shaped by our struggle now (see section I.2.3). and our struggles are influenced by what we hate about the current system (see section H.1.6). Hence if we think that a key problem with the current system is that it is based on rule by the few (bosses, bureaucrats, politicians) then it is hardly hard to imagine that we should organise in a way that empowers all. Particularly as notions like mandating and recalling delegates (first raised by Proudhon in 1848) are now paid lip-service to by Leninists… Much was made of anarchists “punching below our weight” and our fear of “vanguardism.” Just as he confused political organisation with political party, he confused anarchists calling their party The Vanguard with vanguardism – namely, the notions expounded by Lenin in What is to be done? (see section H.5). This is an important difference and one completely obscured by the AWL. And it kind of goes without sating that anarchists discuss political ideas in workplaces, struggles, etc. And so successfully the AWL have to debate us… The third issue was simple – the workers’ state required because the old ruling class will regroup, need to counter centralised ruling class so need a “centralised” state. Interestingly, he defined the state as an “organisation for running society.” What? Surely when the state “withers away” as Engels promised there would still be an “organisation for running society”? Would that not be a state? If not, why not? So that definition simply confuses social organisation with the state. As Kropotkin put it in The State: Its Historic Role: “There is, of course, the German school which takes pleasure in confusing State with Society. This confusion is to be found among the best German thinkers and many of the French who cannot visualize Society without a concentration of the State . . . to argue in this way . . . is to overlook the fact that Man lived in Societies for thousands of years before the State had been heard of . . . large numbers of people lived in communes and free federations. “The State is only one of the forms assumed by society in the course of history. Why then make no distinction between what is permanent and what is accidental? . . . The State idea means . . . . the existence of a power situated above society, but also of a territorial concentration as well as the concentration in the hands of a few of many functions in the life of societies.” Still, to be honest, the AWL don’t seem to have a problem with power being held by a minority – as long as it’s the likes of Lenin and Trotsky. Martin also confused the idea of the workers’ state with defence of the revolution (a position anarchists have long rejected – see section H.2.1) and so he argued that “substantial” sections of workers will want to defend a revolution. No shit, Sherlock! What do you think the CNT militias were? Or the Makhnovist Army? Why did I quote Bakunin advocating “a communal militia” and recognising that “no commune can defend itself in isolation” and so they must “federate . . . for common defence”? Which raises an interesting question. In theory, given they praise Marx’s Civil War in France to the heavens, they should be agreeing with us anarchists on this issue of a federated communal militia (while grinding their teeth we argued it before 1871, as with so much else associated with the Commune). After all, Marx proclaims the “first decree of the Commune, therefore, was the suppression of the standing army, and the substitution for it of the armed people” and “in the rural districts the standing army was to be replaced by a national militia, with an extremely short term of service” This federal regime is described: “The rural communities of every district were to administer their common affairs by an assembly of delegates in the central town, and these district assemblies were again to send deputies to the National Delegation in Paris, each delegate to be at any time revocable and bound by the mandat imperatif (formal instructions) of his constituents.” That sounds like Bakunin’s vision – unsurprisingly, as he was re peating Proudhon as were the mutualists who wrote the Commune’s Declaration to the French People which Marx is summarising: “the Alliance of all labour associations . . . will constitute the Commune . . . there will be a standing federation of the barricades and a Revolutionary Communal Council . . . [made up of] delegates . . . invested with binding mandates and accountable and revocable at all times . . . all provinces, communes and associations . . . [will] delegate deputies to an agreed place of assembly (all . . . invested with binding mandated and accountable and subject to recall), in order to found the federation of insurgent associations, communes and provinces . . . and to organise a revolutionary force with the capacity of defeating the reaction . . . it is through the very act of extrapolation and organisation of the Revolution with an eye to the mutual defences of insurgent areas that the universality of the Revolution . . . will emerge triumphant.” (No Gods, No Masters, vol. 1, pp. 155-6) So if this is wrong, then so is Marx… ah, but Marx talks of a “national militia.” True, but he also describes the Communards federal vision and Bakunin aims for a federated militia. There is no suggestion of a centralised party state with a centralised non-democratic army here. Martin mentioned th e Spanish Revolution, arguing that either we organise our state or join existing state to defend against counter-revolution. In Spain we did the latter. Needless to say, this is a complete travesty of what happened in the revolution and what drove the decision to postpone the revolution (i.e., to operate with other anti-fascist groups). As I discuss this in section I.8.10, I’ve leave it there beyond noting he explains all this in terms of “anarchist theory” – an “anarchist theory” which I’ve never read (and said so in my summing up). I do find it significant that no Marxist ever discusses the circumstances facing the CNT on July 20th 1936 nor how the decision made flies completely in the face of anarchist ideas on social revolution (as expounded in the quote by Bakunin provided above). Nor, of course, does he mention the Council of Aragon (although I did in my summing up). Then lots of AWL members lined up to speak. I think it is over 2 to 1 in terms of AWL members (whom the chair seemed to all know by name!) and non-AWL. The later were two people, if memory serves, associated with The Commune and one self-identified as a libertarian Marxist. They both made good points, one even pointing to my leaflet on the need to defend a revolution and that while anarchists generally recognise the mistakes made in Spain Leninists fail to acknowledge any problems associated with Bolshevism in power. And the AWL contributors proved that right – none discussed the examples of Bolshevik authoritarianism I outlined in my talk. No attempt was made to why the Bolsheviks imposed and argued for party dictatorship, one-man management and the many other actions which resulted in the destruction of socialism under Lenin and Trotsky. Also no discussion of my examples of centralisation failing (the Paris Commune and in Russia). Instead they concentrated on centralisation and the need for a workers’ state – and in my summing up I did state that if a workers’ state IS extremely democratic then the Bolshevik regime was no workers’ state… This is completely understandable. For two reasons. First, why should they let reality get mentioned? Leninism only has an appeal if you ignore the reality of Bolshevik power. Centralisation only has an appeal if you ignore the reality of concentrating decision making into a few hands (I raised examples in my talk, all ignored – see section H.6.2 for details as regards Russia). Second, they obviously think defence of the revolution is the key weakness of anarchism and decided to concentrate on that. Strange, though, given that their defence of Bolshevik authoritarianism boils down, in the end, to arguing they had to do it because of the civil war. In short, like that American officer in Vietnam who proclaimed that the American military had to destroy a village to save it, the Bolsheviks had to destroy socialism in order to save it… Much was made of the from above/from below distinction, stressing the need (as Lenin did back in 1905 on “from above” – see section H.3.3). In my talk (in a bit I skimmed a bit due to time), I had noted that as Bakunin argued, the state is top-down rule by a minority and that Lenin agreed when he argued that “pressure from above” was “pressure by the revolutionary government on the citizens.” I then would have quoted his comment to Cheka in 1920 that “revolutionary coercion is bound to be employed towards the wavering and unstable elements among the masses themselves.” Around the same time, he proclaimed that “the dictatorship of the proletariat cannot be exercised by a mass proletarian organisation.” Rather, it could be exercised “only by a vanguard.” Then I noted Trotsky argued in the late 1930s that vanguard seizes state-power and uses it against the “backward layers of the proletariat.” That, I said, was not in State and Revolution and the key problem is that it is the vanguard gets to determines what is “wavering”— and that “wavering” seems to be defined as disagreeing with the vanguard. Worse, by definition everyone “backward” compared to vanguard and so gives party the right, nay the duty, to destroy workers liberty. This needs a state in the normal sense of the word in order to allow “from above” to occur, so confirming Bakunin’s analysis (in a quote I had to skip) that the state was “a machine ruling the masses from above, through a privileged minority of conceited intellectuals who imagine that they know what the people need and want better than do the people themselves.” How very true… Still, that did not stop the AWL proclaiming the need for “from above” (i.e., top-down) structures and centralisation forcing, to use the example give, union branches to go on strike (of course, strikers going to picket out other branches is NOT “from above” but rather action “from below” but never mind!). I should have, but did not, give an example of the reality of this centralisation, this “from above” system, as desired by the AWL. I will do so now, by quoting Lenin from Left-Wing Communism: “In Russia today, the connection between leaders, party, class and masses . . . are concretely as follows: the dictatorship is exercised by the proletariat organised in the Soviets and is guided by the Communist Party . . . The Party, which holds annual congresses . . ., is directed by a Central Committee of nineteen elected at the congress, while the current work in Moscow has to be carried on by [two] still smaller bodies . . . which are elected at the plenary sessions of the Central Committee, five members of the Central Committee to each bureau. This, it would appear, is a full-fledged ‘oligarchy.’ No important political or organisational question is decided by any state institution in our republic without the guidance of the Party’s Central Committee. “In its work, the Party relies directly on the trade unions, which . . .have a membership of over four million and are formally non-Party. Actually, all the directing bodies of the vast majority of the unions . . . are made up of Communists, and carry out of all the directives of the Party. Thus . . . we have a formally non-communist . . . very powerful proletarian apparatus, by means of which the Party is closely linked up with the class and the masses, and by means of which, under the leadership of the Party, the class dictatorship of the class is exercised.” (The Lenin Anthology, pp. 571-2) This was “the general mechanism of the proletarian state power viewed ‘from above,’ from the standpoint of the practical realisation of the dictatorship” and so “all this talk about ‘from above’ or ‘from below,’ about ‘the dictatorship of leaders’ or ‘the dictatorship of the masses,’” is “ridiculous and childish nonsense.” (p. 573) Lovely! In short, centralisation meant 19 people making the decisions for millions. Lenin, of course, did not bother to view “proletarian” state power “from below,” from the viewpoint of the proletariat. If he had, perhaps he would have recounted (as I do in section H.6) the numerous strikes and protests broken by the Cheka under martial law, the gerrymandering and disbanding of soviets, the imposition of “dictatorial” one-man management onto the workers in production, the turning of the unions into agents of the state/party and the elimination of working class freedom by party power? Which suggests that there are fundamental differences, at least for the masses, between “from above” and “from below.” Not, however, for the AWL. So centralisation is hardly the unproblematic position Leninists think it is. I said as much in my talk – stressing it empowers the few and disempowers the many. I even noted that this is why the state is based on centralised and top-down structures – to ensure minority rule. And here is Lenin stressing that centralisation results in 19 people making all the important decisions! So confirming Bakunin’s comments (as quoted in my talk) that states are “machines governing the masses from above.” Then there is the issue of centralisation within the labour movement, another unproblematic position for Leninists. To quote Rudolf Rocker (Chapte r 4 of Anarcho-Syndicalism): “Just because the educational work of the Anarcho-Syndicalists is directed toward the development of independent thought and action, they are outspoken opponents of all those centralising tendencies which are so characteristic of all political labour parties. But centralism, that artificial organisation from above which turns over the affairs of everybody in a lump to a small minority, is always attended by barren official routine; and this crushes individual conviction, kills all personal initiative by lifeless discipline and bureaucratic ossification, and permits no independent action. The organisation of Anarcho-Syndicalism is based on the principles of Federalism, on free combination from below upward, putting the right of self-determination of every member above everything else and recognising only the organic agreement of all on the basis of like interests and common convictions. “It has often been charged against federalism that it divides the forces and cripples the strength of organised resistance, and, very significantly, it has been just the representative of the political labour parties and of the trade unions under their influence who have kept repeating this charge to the point of nausea. But here, too, the facts of life have spoken more clearly than any theory. There was no country in the world where the whole labour movement was so completely centralised and the technique of organisation developed to such extreme perfection as in Germany before Hitler’s accession to power. A powerful bureaucratic apparatus covered the whole country and determined every political and economic expression of the organised workers. In the very last elections the Social Democratic and Communist parties united over twelve million voters for their candidates. But after Hitler seized power six million organised workers did not raise a finger to avert the catastrophe which had plunged Germany into the abyss, and which in a few months beat their organisation completely to pieces. “But in Spain, where Anarcho-Syndicalism had maintained its hold upon organised labour from the days of the First International, and by untiring libertarian propaganda and sharp fighting had trained it to resistance, it was the powerful C.N.T. which by the boldness of its action frustrated the criminal plans of Franco and his numerous helpers at home and abroad, and by their heroic example spurred the Spanish workers and peasants to the battle against Fascism ­ a fact which Franco himself has been compelled to acknowledge. Without the heroic resistance of the Anarcho-Syndicalist labour unions the Fascist reactions would in a few weeks have dominated the whole country. “When one compares the technique of the federalist organisation of the C.N.T. with the centralistic machine which the German workers had built for themselves, one is surprised by the simplicity of the former. In the smaller syndicates every task for the organisation was performed voluntarily. In the larger alliances, where naturally established official representatives were necessary, these were elected for one year only and received the same pay as the workers in their trade. Even the General Secretary of the C.N.T. was no exception to this rule. this is an old tradition which has been kept up in Spain since the days of the International. This simple form of organisation not only sufficed the Spanish workers for turning the C.N.T. into a fighting unit of the first rank, it also safeguarded them against any bureaucratic regime in their own ranks and helped them to display that irresistible spirit of solidarity and tenaciousness which is so characteristic of this organisation, and which one encounters in no other country. “For the state centralisation is the appropriate form of organisation, since it aims at the greatest possible uniformity in social life for the maintenance of political and social equilibrium. But for a movement whose very existence depends on prompt action at any favourable moment and on the independent thought and action of its supporters, centralism could but be a curse by weakening its power of decision and systematically repressing all immediate action. If, for example, as was the case in Germany, every local strike had first to be approved by the Central, which was often hundreds of mils away and was not usually not in a position to pass a correct judgement on the local conditions, one cannot wonder that the inertia of the apparatus of organisation renders a quick attack quite impossible, and there thus arises a state of affairs where the energetic and intellectually alert groups no longer serve as patterns for the less active, but are condemned by these to inactivity, inevitably bringing the whole movement to stagnation. Organisation is, after all, only a means to an end. When it becomes an end in itself, it kills the spirit and the vital initiative of its members and sets up that domination by mediocrity which is the characteristic of all bureaucracies. “Anarcho-Syndicalists are, therefore, of the opinion that trade union organisation should be of such a character as to afford workers the possibility of achieving the utmost in their struggle against the employers, and at the same time provide them with a basis from which they will be able in a revolutionary position to proceed with reshaping of economic and social life.” I'm sure that many union activists, like myself, will see the validity of that analysis. And the history of the British Labour movement confirms this. At the meeting the AWLers made much of the Miners’ strike and the assertion “the proletariat” always builds “democratic centralist” organisations was made in relation to that struggle by the National Union of Miners (NUM). I thought that was fishy at the time and I remembered the day after that the NUM was a federalist in structure. Don’t take my word for it. According to the NUM’s own webpage: “The National Union of Mineworkers is a unique organisation in that it still has a federal structure, which is comprised of area unions covering the length and breadth of Britain.” A unique organisation indeed! And it produced the nearest we have had in Britain to a revolutionary union conducting mass militant strikes. Let me quote anarchist and NUM activist Dave Douglass (in an article which was in Black Flag): “Almost universally the ‘left’ has cited the decentralised nature of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) as a weakness. This is a strange view indeed, without the semi-autonomy of the miners areas, the strike in the form it was launched could never have happened. Behind the view is a notion that some how the miners could simply be ordered out on strike by a national leadership running a national union. They would never have worn that, which is in part why the old Area structure and strong branch autonomies remained.” The syndicalists had major influence before the First World War and the NUM’s federated structure, where branches and regions had a large degree of autonomy, reflected this. Thus each coalfield had a degree of autonomy, having its own District Association and its own President, General Secretary, and headquarters. Regions of the union could call their own strikes as could local branches. Strikes were taken without waiting for central officials to act and were spread by means of flying pickets (an example I used). In short, the NUM confirms Rocker’s arguments. How ironic for the AWL – the example they gave to support their calls for centralism was a federalist and extremely decentralised union with significant branch autonomy… Opps. As with any ideologue, reality always takes a back seat. Thus we find economists proclaiming because some economy (like South Korea) is booming it must be neo-classical (when it is not). Thus the NUM must be “democratic centralist” because it was Britain’s most radical and militant union. That it was federal in structure just does not compute… And I should not that IF the workers HAD followed “democratic centralist” principles then both the Paris Commune AND the February Revolution of 1917 would not have happened. Marx, in the name of the International’s general council proclaimed that workers should NOT revolt but rather organise in the new republic to use its liberties (presumably to vote socialism in). In 1917, the local Bolsheviks argued against the strikes that resulted in the Tsarist regime falling. In addition, all through 1917 Lenin had to fight the party bureaucracy to get it to seize power. At the base, the membership usually just ignored the party centre. The notion of the permanently revolutionary central committee cannot be believed if you read what the Bolsheviks were actually like in 1917 (see section H.5.12). But let us suppose “the proletariat” has always built “democratic centralist” organisations. If that were the case then that means our current trade unions were originally at some stage democratic centralist. The issue becomes why are they now bureaucratic, top-down structures which the rank-and-file have very limited control over? Could it be that the centralist aspect wins out over the democratic one? It did in the Bolshevik Party, so why not in our unions? Interestingly, this defender of “democratic centralism” also argued that it was good that unions held positions that the majority of members opposed. He pointed to open-borders positions. Sadly, he failed to explain how a democratic organisation could have policies which the majority opposed… Finally, he proclaimed a SolFed member said to him that he wanted to have a “communist” union – which was, apparently, one run from the bottom-up by its members. Which was what I had said in my talk! I also pointed out in my summing up that an anarchist talking of a “communist” union is not strange – we are usually libertarian communists! One AWL member tried to put a positive spin on Trotsky’s many quotes for party dictatorship I presented in my leaflet. Parties are required for democracy, apparently, although what that had to do with party dictatorship was not clear. Perhaps she was arguing that party dictatorship was really democratic after all? I was a bit lost on that contribution. Another AWL member then suggested a federation of workers councils/communes “sounds like a state” but a “weak one.” Unsurprisingly, we needed more centralisation and something to “run society” as well as organise self-defence of revolution. Which is, to repeat myself, a really silly definition of a state and one which flies in the face of Marxism and its so-called “scientific” definition of the state… I should have remembered to quote Engels on this (as I do in section H.2.1) on the Native American Iroquois Confederacy. Engels noted that “organ of the Confederacy was a Federal Council” which was “elected . . . and could always be removed” by popular assemblies. There was “no chief executive” but “two supreme war chiefs” and “[w]hen war broke out it was carried on mainly by volunteers.” Yet this was “the organisation of a society which as yet knows no state.” In the anarchist commune there is a federal council elected and mandated by popular assemblies. These, in turn, are federated in a similar bottom-up manner. The means of production have been expropriated and held by society as a whole and so classes have been abolished. Volunteer militias have been organised for self-defence against counter-revolutionary attempts to subject the free people to authority. Why is this not a society which “knows no state”? Is it because the anarchist commune is fighting against the capitalist class? If so, does this mean that the Iroquois Confederacy became a state when it waged war against those seeking to impose bourgeois rule on it? Surely not? This contributor also pointed to the IWW and how it disappeared after the War (it needed to be more centralised, of course!). Strangely, he made no mention of state repression nor the activities of the new Communist Party in undermining its rival… He also suggested that the Makhnovists were hardly saints and we anarchists should not suggest otherwise. As if I suggested the Makhnovists had defeated the Whites by giving them hugs! Yes, the Makhnovists could be brutal at times – they were fighting a war at the time. Yet they did not raise party dictatorship to an ideological truism, they defended and encouraged soviet democracy, freedom of speech, assembly, organisation and so on when the Bolsheviks crushed them. They also refused to dictate to workers, urging them to organise themselves to solve their own problems – while the Bolsheviks were approving Trotsky’s vision of the “militarisation of labour” and “Labour armies” (the latter, surely, suggested by The Communist Manifesto and so Trotsky’s comment: “the only solution to economic difficulties from the point of view of both principle and of practice is to treat the population of the whole country as the reservoir of the necessary labour power”?). I do love the false equivalency I’ve seen invoked by the SWP, CPGB and now the AWL – because the Makhnovists did not totally live up to libertarian principles then they are as bad as the Bolsheviks who not only failed to live up to any of them, they also embraced their exact opposites! An extremely strange position to take but then, Leninists are strange… Then the Liverpool AWL member got up. I mentioned her thinly veiled threat at the start of this blog. It was, how should I put it, refreshing (?) to hear that we anarchists, if we continue to talk like that after the revolution, would need to watch out. Sadly, I did not write down her exact words – partly because I somewhat surprised to hear someone say something like that – but that we can expect a visit from the Cheka was definitely the gist of what she was saying… From what else she was saying, I assume she rationalised this in terms of us libertarians weakening the defence of the revolution by our talk (as Emma Goldman put it: “what [the Bolsheviks] called ‘defence of the Revolution’ was really only the defence of [their] party in power”). For that defence needed to be centralised by the workers’ state, and we needed to be “clear what the state is” – one class ruling another. As if! In my talk I had already stated what the state was – an instrument of minority class rule which had evolved various features (centralised, top-down, etc. to restrict popular participation) to ensure its function. A federation of workers councils/communes would be based on mass participation, it would be federal and decentralised to ensure that. Hence it was not a state. Rocker is good on this: “social institutions . . . do not arise arbitrarily, but are called into being by special needs to serve definite purposes . . . The newly arisen possessing classes had need of a political instrument of power to maintain their economic and social privileges over the masses of their own people . . . Thus arose the appropriate social conditions for the evolution of the modern state, as the organ of political power of privileged castes and classes for the forcible subjugation and oppression of the non-possessing classes . . . Its external forms have altered in the course of its historical development, but its functions have always been the same . . . And just as the functions of the bodily organs of . . . animals cannot be arbitrarily altered, so that, for example, one cannot at will hear with his eyes and see with his ears, so also one cannot at pleasure transform an organ of social oppression into an instrument for the liberation of the oppressed. The state can only be what it is: the defender of mass-exploitation and social privileges, and creator of privileged classes” (Anarcho-Syndicalism) Surely it is significant that the so-called workers’ state ended up empowering a few party leaders (and, thanks to centralisation, a massive bureaucracy – something else I mentioned which was not discussed!) and disempowering the masses? I’ve quoted Lenin’s summary of Bolshevism in 1920 from Left-Wing Communism and the subsequent rise of Stalinism just made explicit what was already there (as I discuss in my critique of the SWP explanation of “How the Revolution Was Lost”). Obviously, though, she stressed that the new “workers’ state” would be “extremely democratic” – but, well, the actual workers’ state of the Bolsheviks wasn’t. An awkward fact she refused to mention, never mid discuss – as did all the other AWLers. She did point to Left-Wing Communism, arguing that we needed to use “all possible means” – and if workers have illusions in parliament then we should stand for election. In my summing up I did point out the Communist Parties did that – and it did not work! I should also note that Lenin, in that work, argued that “the Communists’ correct understanding of his tasks” lies in “correctly gauging the conditions and the moment when the vanguard of the proletariat can successfully assume power, when it will be able - during and after the seizure of power - to win adequate support from sufficiently broad strata of the working class and of the non-proletarian working masses, and when it is able thereafter to maintain, consolidate, and extend its rule by educating, training and attracting ever broader masses of the working people.” Note, the vanguard (the party) seizes power, not the masses. Indeed, he stressed that the “mere presentation of the question - ‘dictatorship of the party or dictatorship of the class: dictatorship (party) of the leaders or dictatorship (party) of the masses?’ - testifies to most incredible and hopelessly muddled thinking” – “To go so far . . . as to contrast, in general, the dictatorship of the masses with a dictatorship of the leaders is ridiculously absurd, and stupid.” (p. 575, p. 567, p. 568) Not really the best book to reference if you are trying to portray Leninism as “extremely democratic”! Particularly as, in that work, Lenin also pointed to “non-Party workers’ and peasants’ conferences” and Soviet Congresses as means by which the party secured its rule. Yet, if the congresses of soviets were “democratic institutions, the like of which even the best democratic republics of the bourgeois have never known”, the Bolsheviks would have no need to “support, develop and extend” non-Party conferences “to be able to observe the temper of the masses, come closer to them, meet their requirements, promote the best among them to state posts”. (p. 573) How the Bolsheviks met “their requirements” is extremely significant - they disbanded them, just as they had with soviets with non-Bolshevik majorities in 1918, because people voted for the wrong people (see section H.6 for details of both these and the ones in early 1918 organised because the Bolsheviks and soviets had both become isolated from the masses). In terms taking part in elections she was right insofar as de Gaulle called a general election in 1968. He did so to undercut the mass strikes and occupations, to shift the struggle into save bourgeois forms. And it worked. And, of course, the French Trotskyists took part in the elections… Nice to know that the Leninists will do the same as they did in the 1920s, in 1968, and so on… Which is something I stressed in my summing up. I noted that in my talk Marxists were seeking to repeat history – and that the AWL had confirmed that in their contributions. I quote Einstein on insanity – doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. I also noted rather than advocate all tactics anarchists argue for those that work! Strange but true, we consider the effectiveness of tactics when looking at them. We predicted in the First International that using elections would result in labour movements becoming reformist and tied to the bourgeois order. And that was confirmed. Here is Rocker (again from Anarcho-Syndicalism) in 1937: “Participation in the politics of the bourgeois States has not brought the labour movement a hair’s-breadth nearer to Socialism, but thanks to this method, Socialism has almost been completely crushed and condemned to insignificance . . . Participation in parliamentary politics has affected the Socialist Labour movement like an insidious poison. It destroyed the belief in the necessity of constructive Socialist activity, and, worse of all, the impulse to self-help, by inoculating people with the ruinous delusion that salvation always comes from above.” Hard not to disagree with… Ironically, Martin Thomas confirmed this in one of his anti-anarchist articles when he argued that the “Bakunin wing’s opposition . . . to electoral activity by socialists was not an exaggerated but understandable reaction against socialists allowing that activity to suck in too much of their energies and their hopes.” He then went on to acknowledge that “Socialists would allow electoral activity to suck in too much of their energies and their hopes” and that these parties ended up producing “socialists who in their majority turned out to be unprincipled parliamentary reformists.” Obviously these quotes were not positioned in such proximity in his articles – just as well for his argument! In short, he unknowingly confirmed that the “Bakunin wing’s opposition” to electioneering was proven right… Opps. In my leaflet, after quoting those words, I quote Bakunin: “worker-deputies, transplanted into a bourgeois environment, into an atmosphere of purely bourgeois ideas, will in fact cease to be workers and, becoming Statesmen, they will become bourgeois . . . For men do not make their situations; on the contrary, men are made by them.” But, apparently, Bakunin being proven completely right is insufficient for Marxists to re-evaluate their dogmas… Of course, time proclaimed discussing all that. I did, however, note that if a workers state IS extremely democratic then the Bolshevik regime was NOT a workers state. The AWL never seemed keen to discuss the reality of Bolshevism so I’m sure that obvious point fell on death ears. I also re-iterated my definition of the state, contrasting the anarchist scientific/evolutionary perspective to the Marxist metaphysical one (see section H.3.7 of An Anarchist FAQ). I also quickly summarised Spain, pointing out that the decision to embrace anti-fascist unity was not driven by anarchist theory (quite the reverse!) but by circumstances – fear of isolation and having to fight the republic and the fascists (as discussed in section I.8.10). I also said if anyone wished to discuss the matter then please come to our stall. Looking back, deciding to exclude Spain from my talk was unfortunate – particularly as the format of the meeting did not allow me opportunity to fully discuss it. Martin Thomas then summed up. Apparently we don’t know what works, as we are not living in a socialist system. Still, we have over 100 years of Marxists urging us to vote in order to seize political power but apparently that is insufficient to draw any conclusions! Add in the German Greens, and all the rest, well, still insufficient evidence… if in doubt, ignore reality… He also showed his ignorance on the Spanish Revolution, proclaiming that when would be a better time to proclaim revolution than when workers were expropriating their workplaces. However, the decision to collaborate with other groups against fascism was taken on July 20th – the day after the defeat of the Army coup in Barcelona and before the expropriations started. And so it ended. Afterward, I did go up to Martin Thomas and asked something along the lines of “I’m not being cheeky, but have you actually read Bakunin?” He replied “yes, although not everything.” I did not say that I’ve read everything in English by him, but I did ask about his obvious syndicalist ideas. I pointed to the Marx quote than Bakunin argued that “must only organise themselves by trades-unions.” He suggested that by “trade unions” Bakunin did not mean trade unions as such things did not really exist then. I then pointed out that in Bern (where Bakunin was based for a while) there were unions and he talked about them and that (the future Communard) Varlin was a trade unionist, etc. Unfortunately, the conversation stopped for various reasons… Thinking back, I have to ponder if unions did not exist back then what did Marx mean when he talked of trade unions? Thomas, in his review of Black Flame, pointed out that Marx was one of the first socialists to support trade unions (back in 1847 when he attacked Proudhon for NOT supporting them). So what were these “trades unions” which Bakunin supported, which Marx said Bakunin supported and which Marx advocated since 1847 which did not really exist? Significantly, Rocker in Chapte r 3 (The Forerunners of Syndicalism) of Anarcho-Syndicalism links syndicalism to the libertarian sections of the First International (as did both Malatesta and Monatte at the International Anarchist Congress in 1907). He notes at the Basel congress of the IWMA a report by the Belgian delegation argued that “the trade union organisations of the workers not only had a right to existence within the present society, but they were even more to be regarded as the social cells of a coming Socialist order.” This reflected the ideas of “the delegates from Spain, the Swiss Jura, and a considerable part of the French sections.” This report was by a mutualist argued that the International form unions (or syndicats) because “they are the means of resisting exploitation in the present” and because “the grouping of different trades in the city will form the commune of the future,” when “the government will be replaced by federated councils of syndicats, and by a committee of their respective delegates regulating the relation of labor this taking the place of politics.” (quoted by James Guillaume, L'Internationale, Documents et Souvenirs, Vol. I, p. 205) Which sounds like syndicalism to me... not to mention Rocker, Kropotkin, Malatesta, Goldman, Guillaume and a host of others! Interestingly, I've come across part of an editorial from Freedom (November, 1912) which argued that while “previous movements were diverted from their economic action by political movements . . . This will not be the case with Syndicalism, with its direct action against Capitalism and the State. To act against the State means to attack, to destroy its political institutions, and to substitute for the State organisation the Industrial Unions of the producing classes...” Which sounds like Marx's summary of the ideas of Bakunin! However, to return to the topic at hand... I can only assume this nonsense of Martin's on unions came via Hal Draper who, in a desire to distance Marx from revolutionary syndicalism, argued that those who advocated revolutionary unionism in the First International were not “really” syndicalists as trade unions did not really exist at the time. Except, I assume, those trade unions which set up the First International and those which affiliated to it and which supported each other when they took strike action? But then, the AWL seemed keen to have it both ways the whole day. Thus we have the workers’ state being extremely democratic while, at the same time, extremely centralised (my leaflet had three great Zinoviev quotes on that!). Thus we would have workers liberty but if anarchists advocate anarchism then they had better watch out. Thus we have the AWL being opposed to “a government they do not control” while supporting Bolshevism, Lenin and Trotsky… All very strange… I assume the ability to hold two contradictory ideas at once is dialectics in action? When I got back to our stall, it was going well. We sold, in total, £80 worth of books (which was approximately £80 more than I expected at the start). We got rid of nearly all the old Black Flags and all the old Freedoms plus about half the leaflets (the rest are now in Freedom Bookshop). Hopefully my talk helped a few people towards anarchism… I’m sure the AWL people not listening to my points and then repeating them as if I disagreed with them made some question Leninism. That and the not-too-veiled post-revolution threat by the Liverpool AWLer… So, all in all, worth doing. Not perfect, but still a success. Next I will be writing up my talk, with appropriate links to An Anarchist FAQ sections (and this debate re-enforced that volume 2 needs to be published sooner rather than later!). I will also attach a pdf of my leaflet “The AWL versus Anarchism.” While this is not most aesthetically pleasing leaflet I’ve ever produced, it contains quotes from the AWL articles on what anarchism is and quotes from Bakunin, Kropotkin, Malatesta, Berkman, Goldman, etc. saying the exact opposite (for example, see section H.2.8 – or any part of section H.2). And as an added bonus, the last page is entitled “The AWL versus Marxism” and has quotes from Lenin and Trotsky the AWL would prefer us not to know… I hope that makes a few people look into the issues more. I think that the significant thing was that the AWL intervention focused on centralisation and the workers’ state yet failed to even mention my account of the Bolshevik regime. Obviously they had decided before hand what to concentrate on and what to ignore. This is significant insofar as they seemed unwilling to defend Bolshevik authoritarianism – perhaps unsurprisingly because defending the gerrymandering and disbandment of soviets, imposing “dictatorial” one-man management, abolishing “by decree” democratic elections in the armed forces, creating a secret police, immediately creating an executive power above the soviets, and so on obviously contradictions their stated love of “Workers’ Liberty”… best not to dwell on the world’s only Marxist “workers’ state”! And that, I think, explains the attraction of Leninism - particularly back in 1918/19. It appeared to have lead a successful revolution. But it soon became clear to those with eyes to see (such as Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman -- in My Disillusionment in Russia, The Bolshevik Myth and The Russian Tragedy) that it was no such thing. I suppose it depends on what you mean by success. Anarchists mean producing a socialist society, or at least moving in that direction. Leninists mean the seizure and holding of power by a vanguard party. Today, of course, with more and more information on Bolshevism in power available it is harder to believe in the Bolshevik Myth -- but some still do, even if it means refusing to discuss the regime of Lenin and Trotsky! Also, before the event I was informed by email that “our normal practise is to give speakers who are speaking to a minority position (as you probably will be unless a lot of anarchists come) more time to respond to debate, so you’ll have extra time to deal with any questions or make any additional points.” On the day, after the second or third AWL contribution in a row I asked the chair if I could reply to the points being made. I was informed I would get my five minutes at the end. Now, as I seemed to be the only anarchist there that does seem to contradict “normal practise” – perhaps they let my main talk go over 20 minutes? But still, not letting me reply made it extremely one-sided. Yes, the two Commune people were allowed to contribute but they were not anarchists (one declared himself a libertarian Marxist). Yet this is in contrast to at least double the number of AWL contributors. This, I think, is significant too – and a backhanded complement on my talk and the issues it raised. I would also have to say that lack of support from anarchists in London was unfortunate – the meeting was, as a result, extremely one-sided in contributions AND I had to remember to cover everything (which I failed to do). As was obvious at the meeting, not everyone attending the AWL conference was a convinced Leninist. My talk and stall made an impact, I am sure, but how much better it would have been for class struggle anarchists to made comments refuting the Leninist claims. Hence this blog, an attempt to summarise what was being argued and to expand on issues I failed to do adequately on the day in my five minutes of summing up. It also raises the question of how strange it is to debate with Leninists – they seem to hold contradictory notions, best expressed when they proclaim themselves lovers of liberty and defenders of the Leninist regime. I find it strange that someone can hold such blatantly contradictory notions at once – as shown by my strange discussion at the stall… And for those interested, may I recommend my account of attending Marxism 2001 and The Dead Dogma Sketch it inspired… Until I blog again, be seeing you…

Personality Types Attract Different Drugs We tend to associate certain personality types with specific addictions, but the truth is more complicated than you might think. Let’s start with the myth of a certain rum-soaked literary giant in Cuba... Here’s Ernest Hemingway, dead drunk on a stool in Cuba with his face on his hand and his hand on an ever-present mojito. He's the tormented writer, hard at work at the daily scrubbing of his sins. Like the Hard-Drinking Writer, we've come to expect certain personality types to have certain habits: The Morose Musician with Keith Richards' appetite for heroin; the Insecure Starlet with Marilyn's taste for pills; the Monomaniacal Money Manager with a nose for cocaine. They are generalizations that have been imprinted by generations of popular culture. But the types don't necessarily line up. The logic of associating personalities with specific drugs seems natural. A German-British psychologist named Hans Eysenck spent the mid-20th century turning the eye of the scientific community from Freud’s behavior-based theories to individualized psychology—pioneering the science of personality. He considered this pursuit of matching personalities with drugs a pet project. Higher scores for each risky trait were linked to higher likelihood of using "hard" drugs like heroin, amphetamines or crack. Eynsenck believed the ways people are inclined to think aren’t always the ways that make us feel best. And because drugs are the easiest way to modify temperament, it’s only natural for us to seek out those substances that keep us on an even keel. For instance, he thought that introverts, whose brains are always chewing at problems, should crave depressants to quiet the incessant mental chatter. Extroverts, easily bored, should chase the rush of stimulants. His theory condensed individualized drug cravings into an easy, logical framework—but he was wrong. Or at least, he vastly oversimplified the concepts of both “personality” and “drugs.” Worse, his theory wasn’t borne out by research. Study after study showed both introverts and extroverts drinking alcohol (a depressant) to excess. And extroverts didn’t limit themselves to uppers; it seemed they would reach for all kinds of substances. So where does that leave us? Well, scientists kept trying to tie the two nebulous concepts together. Over the years, as new methods of personality screening emerged, researchers continued to distribute questionnaires to groups of drug addicts. One major breakthrough came when four sets of psychologists independently realized in the 1980s and 1990s that a person’s personality traits—tendencies that are partially genetic and tend to last throughout life—can be pretty reliably described using five factors. Introversion and extroversion weren’t enough, they thought. We should also consider openness to new experiences (think Bear Grylls), conscientiousness (Haruki Marukami), agreeableness (Mother Theresa) and neuroticism (Woody Allen) when trying to understand why people act the way they do. Thus armed, personality psychologists began fitting the various personality traits they had come up with over the years into what came to be called the “Big Five.” And lo, with a more accurate representation of traits, a connection between personality and drug use began to emerge. People who tested high on neuroticism (indicating that they tend to be impulsive, emotionally unstable and anxious), low on conscientiousness (tending to be disorganized, unambitious and lazy), and low on agreeableness (tending to be uncooperative, unhelpful or misanthropic), were more likely to have problems with alcohol or drugs than people whose scores were closer to the middle, or reversed. Perhaps more interestingly to the question of whether personality traits led their owners to cocaine over alcohol, or marijuana over mushrooms, higher scores for each risky trait were linked to higher likelihood of using "hard" drugs like heroin, amphetamines or crack. “There is some evidence that the more ‘bad’ traits you have, the harder the drugs you’re going to use,” says Michigan State Department of Psychology professor Chris Hopwood. “So super, super-impulsive, sensation-seeking, neurotic people might be inclined to use something like heroin, for example, whereas if you’re a little bit less impulsive or have more anxiety about things maybe you wouldn’t. Maybe you would use other drugs but you would be too afraid to use heroin.” Not all the personality factors that appear in people with drug problems are negative, however: sensation-seeking—a facet of openness to experience that’s common among extreme sports athletes, explorers, philanderers and roller coaster-enthusiasts—is almost always associated with drug abuse, but doesn’t necessarily scale with using harder drugs. Marijuana users, for instance, have been shown to be high in sensation-seeking, with closer-to-average levels of neuroticism. Those who are particularly susceptible to boredom have been shown to use opiates more often. Sensation-seeking seems to be about 60% heritable—meaning about 60% of the trait comes from your genes—and appears to be related to the brain’s dopamine reward system, the same system that makes most drugs of abuse pleasurable. Sensation-seeking may even be related to where you live, through interactions with neighbors—or, in the case of, say, New York City, through self-selection. A study by Jason Rentfrow, Sam Gosling, and Jeff Potter that was analyzed by Richard Florida on The Atlantic’s Atlantic Cities blog showed that Openness to Experience scaled with drug use when compared within states. And which states had the highest levels of both illicit drug use and openness? Colorado, Vermont, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Massachusetts, New York and California. Given the personality characteristics that seemed to split “hard” versus “soft” drugs, scientists began to wonder if—even if they couldn’t predict who would take uppers over downers—there was a way to predict who would become an alcoholic and who would abuse illegal drugs. The studies showed some remarkable similarities (One study conducted among veterans suggested that all addicts share interpersonal styles that tend toward loner, rebel and pessimist stereotypes, for example, which surprised no one who has ever seen Leaving Las Vegas). But there did appear to be a little something extra that could push a person into hard drug addiction. People who use illicit drugs often have been shown to have higher rates of both extroversion and susceptibility to boredom, which may drive them into more situations where drugs appear, or simply make them more likely to crave new subjective experiences. And those who are particularly susceptible to boredom have been shown to use opiates more often. But this is where the studies break down. Most research on the topic of how personality relates to drugs of choice is conducted among people who already have drugs of choice—addicts. And as any addict knows, once you’ve taken a shine to a drug, it can be exceedingly difficult to disentangle the personality factors that came before from the ones that came after. By the time the personality questionnaires are administered, who’s to say what caused the drug use and what the drug use caused? “It could go either way,” says Hopson. “A person who uses heroin might end up having problems in their life. Perhaps he loses his job, perhaps then he starts stealing things. You could easily tell a story that goes, the heroin started first and then the person started doing all kinds of mean antisocial things. Or you could tell a story that says that the person was sort of a ‘bad’ person, if you’ll forgive the language, and one of the bad things they did was use heroin.” There are also direct effects of drugs that scientists have to consider. Crack and cocaine abusers, for example, have shown personality traits related to the symptom of paranoia in certain studies, as well as depression and impulsivity and a trait terrifyingly called “psychoticism.” Because long-term crack or cocaine use can cause many of these effects, however, it’s unlikely that those traits cause people to take up stimulants. Rather, it appears that long-term crack or cocaine use might be able to alter the expression of certain traits to create a “stimulant user profile.” Regardless of the qualms of scientists, however, quiz websites and message boards hoping to connect personality to a particular drug have popped up all over the internet. Many focus on Myers-Briggs personality types (ENFP, ISTJ, etc), which are commonly used by career counselors to assess how people prefer to perceive and organize information. Others skip the science altogether, selecting a drug you’re likely to use based on the clothes you wear, the events you attend, where you live, and your perceived flaws. Will science ever reach that degree of accuracy—explaining just what it is that seems to make neurotic writers more likely to drink than use heroin? It’s certainly possible, says Hopson. “One way to think about personality is in terms of traits, which are stable and heritable. But you can also think about personality dynamics, like how do I react if you insult me, for example. That’s sort of my guess is that which drugs you use depend on the more complicated personality dynamics.” Assuming you’ve got the traits that push you toward drug use in the first place, what else might lead you to one substance over another? Hopson says factors that play a role include what your parents use, what your friends use, and even simply what’s available where you live. Which perhaps explains Hemingway’s situation better than we could have expected: there sure was a lot of rum in Cuba. Former neuroscientist Jacqueline Detwiler edits a travel magazine by day, but moonlights as a science writer. Her work has appeared in Wired, Men's Health, Fitness and Forbes. She previously wrote about the hardest drugs to kick and the history of the world's most popular drugs for The Fix.

Woman meditating in a yoga studio, Vancouver, British Columbia The push-up is an incredible tool to help you get in great physical shape; that's why it's used in almost every gym in America. With all the scientific evidence pointing to mindfulness meditation, the practice is literally becoming America's next push-up for the brain. Here are 10 reasons why you should do the practice. 1. It may make you happier. The practice helps you to cultivate more positive states of mind; if you're happy you will do better in every area of your life. Emotions are contagious, and when you're happy you spread that feeling to everyone around you. 2. There's evidence that it strengthens the brain. A study done at UCLA suggest that meditation actually strengthens the brain in a good way. Studies like this are pointing to the fact that meditation is literally a workout for the brain. How about right before you do your sit-ups, you incorporate some meditation to strengthen the brain? 3. It may help you focus at work. Our hectic, technology-filled lifestyle is talking all of our attention; we're constantly checking emails, Facebook updates, and our Twitter accounts. A new study suggested that meditation may make you more focused at work. 4. It could make you a more compassionate person. Meditation helps you to calm down by centering your focus on your breathing and the sensations in your body. It also helps you recognize positive emotions within your own body, and to use those emotions to act more compassionate toward others. A new study from Northeastern University and Harvard University researchers showed that people who meditated acted more compassionate afterward than those who did not meditate. 5. It may help you lose weight. Mindfulness is a way to pay attention to the all the sensations you're experiencing. When you do meditation while you're eating, you become more conscious of what you're putting in your mouth. 6. It may relieve stress. A study in the journal Health Psychology showed that mindfulness decreased levels of the stress hormone cortisol. This is something everyone in American could use, considering stress has literally become an epidemic here. 7. It may help you do better in school. A new study done in the journal Mindfulness showed that meditation improved the test scores of students in a psychology class. Some of the students meditated before the lecture, and another group did not. After the lecture, the ones who meditated did better. Want your kids to do better in class -- why not show them how to meditate? 8. It may help American troops. A number of programs are working with troops to give them the tools of meditation to better their quality of life. Organizations like Project Welcome Home Troops, the Mind Fitness Training Institute, and the the Samueli Institute are using it with troops. 9. It positively changes the brain, even when you're not meditating. A new study has indicated that by participating in an eight-week meditation program, you can potentially change how the brain works even when you're not meditating. The brain is just like a muscle you work out at the gym: If you do meditation every day, it's going to positively influence your life. 10. It may help protect against colds. A study done at the University of Wisconsin-Madison showed that people who practiced mindfulness meditation or engage in physical exercise suffered less from colds than those who did not. Cheers to America's new push-up for the brain! With all the scientific evidence coming in over the years, meditation is now becoming a practice that anyone from any walk of life can embrace. You don't have to practice any religion or have any set of beliefs to use this incredible tool for the brain.

On April 25, 2022 For some seniors, sadness and depression go hand in hand with aging. For example, your grandma may feel lonely or sad due to life changes such as illness, retirement, limited mobility, or the death of a spouse.

You can cheer up your grandma with small, thoughtful gestures that show how much you care. Here are some ideas that you may find helpful: Take your grandma out or make dinner at her home. Call her in the evening to ask how her day was. Take her on a spontaneous trip. Go for a nature walk together. Take your grandma to the movies. Practice mindfulness together.

Story highlights Lawyer: UK government evidence suggests Russia tied to ex-KGB agent's death Alexander Litvinenko worked for MI6 and Spanish intelligence services, widow's lawyer says Litvinenko died after being poisoned by radioactive material polonium-210 in 2006 Litvinenko on deathbed blamed Russia's Vladimir Putin, but the Kremlin denies the accusation Britain's government has evidence Russia was involved in the mysterious poisoning death of former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko, who was at that time working for British and Spanish intelligence services, a lawyer has said. The allegation emerged at a hearing Thursday in London ahead of an inquest into Litvinenko's 2006 death that is due to start in May. In Britain, an inquest is an inquiry held where a death is sudden or unexplained to establish the facts around it. Litvinenko, a fierce critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, came to Britain in 2000 after turning whistle-blower on the FSB, the KGB's successor. He died at a London hospital November 23, 2006, after being poisoned by the radioactive material polonium-210. In a deathbed statement, he blamed Putin, an accusation the Kremlin has strongly denied. The counsel to the inquest, Hugh Davies, said evidence provided by the UK government "does establish a prima facie case as to the culpability of the Russian state in the death of Alexander Litvinenko." The confidential government material does not, however, support the idea that the British government itself killed Litvinenko, he said. Nor does it suggest that fellow Kremlin critic Boris Berezovsky, the Spanish mafia or other organized crime groups are to blame, Davies added. Prosecutors in London want Russia to extradite Andrei Lugovoi, suspected in the killing, but Russia has repeatedly refused to do so. Lawyer Ben Emmerson, acting for Litvinenko's widow Marina, told the hearing that Litvinenko was working for the British intelligence service MI6 and had been tasked by MI6 with working also for the Spanish intelligence service as it investigated Russian mafia activities in Spain. Litvinenko had an MI6 handler known only as "Martin," whom he would meet in central London, he said. Payments, both from MI6 and from the Spanish intelligence services, were made directly into the joint bank account held by Litvinenko and his wife, Emmerson said. While ill in hospital Litvinenko called Lugovoi about a planned trip together to Spain, a phone call that was witnessed by his wife, Emmerson said. The men were both to provide intelligence to the Spanish prosecutor investigating Russian mafia links to the Kremlin and to Putin, he said. Emmerson also questioned whether the British government did enough to protect Litvinenko from threats to his safety in light of his relationship with MI6. Russia's Investigative Committee has confirmed that it wants to be involved in the process as an "interested party," the state-run RIA Novosti news agency said Friday. If Russia becomes an interested party, its representatives will be allowed to cross-examine witnesses and study the evidence, it said. A statement on the website of the Russian Embassy in London said the Investigative Committee's involvement would help the inquest "in securing the all-sided, comprehensive and objective consideration of the case." The committee, a federal agency, is carrying out its own investigation into the circumstances of Litvinenko's death in Russia, the statement said. Emmerson told the hearing, held before high court judge Sir Robert Owen, that he and Litvinenko's widow were keen for Russia to have interested party status. Russia has not yet commented on the claims of evidence of its involvement in Litvinenko's death.

In 1933, Chief Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook wrote a Rosh Hashanah message for the Ha-Yesod journal in honor of the new year. Sadly, it is as relevant today as it was 80 years ago. The article is a call for unity among different sectors of society, groups which are frequently divisive and factious. Instead of concentrating our criticism on the faults of others, we would be better off noticing and emulating those aspects of life in which they are superior to us. As we stand before the start of a new year, it is incumbent upon us to examine our deeds and aspire to the path of teshuvah (repentance), a path that brings redemption and healing to the world. The Jewish people have become divided into two camps, through the categorization of Jews as Charedi (religious) and Chofshi (secular). These are new terms, which were not used in the past. Of course, not everyone is identical, especially in spiritual matters; but there was never a specific term to describe each faction. In this respect, we can certainly say that previous generations were superior to ours. By emphasizing this categorization, we obstruct the path toward improvement and growth in both camps. Those who feel that they belong to the religious camp look down upon the secular camp. If they think about teshuvah and improvement, they immediately cast their eyes in the direction of the secularists, devoid of Torah and mitzvot. They are confident that full repentance is required by the irreligious, not by them. The secular Jews, on the other hand, are convinced that any notion of penitence is a religious concept, completely irrelevant to their lives. It would be better if we would all concentrate on examining our own defects, and judge others generously. It could very well be that others have treasure-troves of merits, hidden from sight. We should recognize that there exists in each camp a latent force leading toward goodness. Each camp has much to improve upon, and could learn much from the positive traits of the other camp. Let us be known to each other by one name — Klal Yisrael. And let our holiday prayer be fulfilled, “וְיֵעָשׂוּ כֻלָם אֲגֻודָּה אֶחָת לעשות רצונך בלבב שלם” “May they all become one brotherhood, to fulfill Your Will whole-heartedly”

Intel Extreme Masters has overhauled the entire League of Legends cirtcuit for this year's events, beginning with adding two more teams to each tournament. Previous IEM tournaments featured six teams each, with a mix of teams that were voted in by fans and invited teams. Now, each of the eight teams will be selected based on their performances in their regions and at Worlds. Meanwhile, international wildcard teams will have a separate qualifier to determine which teams will represent the IWC at IEM events. The eight teams will also feature one team from each major region, as opposed to two NA and EU teams, and one team from each China and Korea. As a result of the expanded format, no teams will be receiving byes into the semifinals and all teams will have to play in double-elimination group stages before two teams from each group advance to the playoffs. "In order to provide more opportunities for both players and fans to experience their favorite matches, IEM Season 11 will include more League of Legends teams than previous years," IEM stated in the press release. "With the international growth of League of Legends, we want to ensure that the IEM tournaments will have the strongest lineups possible." IEM Oakland will be the first event to showcase the new format, though the invited teams have yet to be announced. IEM Oakland runs from Nov. 19-20 in Oakland, California.

MyD88 protein controls fusion of myoblasts during muscle formation, may enhance therapies for cancer, muscular dystrophy. Researchers at the University of Louisville have discovered the importance of a well-known protein, myeloid differentiation primary response gene 88 (MyD88), in the development and regeneration of muscles. Ashok Kumar, Ph.D. led a team of researchers who have described the protein’s critical role in the growth and repair of skeletal muscles, both in post-natal development and in the regeneration of injured adult muscles. In the formation of muscle, specialized progenitor or stem cells multiply. They then differentiate into preliminary muscle cells called myoblasts. The myoblasts fuse together and subsequently form muscle fiber. Using animal models, the UofL researchers worked with both neonatal cells and adult cells to determine that MyD88, a key signaling protein in the human body, is required in sufficient quantity for myoblasts to fuse. Hindi believes that MyD88 eventually may be used to improve the effectiveness of therapies using donor cells for the treatment of degenerative muscle disorders such as muscular dystrophies. “Since MyD88 promotes only the fusion of myoblasts without affecting their proliferation or differentiation, enhancing the levels of MyD88 levels could be a means to enhance engraftment of exogenous myoblasts in cellular therapies,” Hindi said. Increasing the expression of MyD88 could be used in the treatment of rhabdomyosarcomas, cancerous tumors that develop in skeletal muscles and often affect children. “We are investigating whether augmenting the levels of MyD88 inhibits growth of rhabdomyosarcoma in animal models,” Kumar said. “Finally, we are investigating whether the loss of MyD88 is responsible for the diminished muscle regeneration capacity in the elderly.” Research in Kumar’s lab focuses on understanding the molecular and signaling mechanisms that regulate the acquisition and maintenance of skeletal muscle mass. For the past eight years, they have been investigating the proximal signaling mechanisms that regulate skeletal muscle atrophy, regeneration and muscle hypertrophy, in addition to the signaling mechanisms that regulate self-renewal and differentiation of satellite cells in myogenic lineage. In 2015, research from Kumar and Hindi published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation described the role of TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) in maintaining satellite cells and their ability to regenerate injured muscles. Just ten days later, research from the lab published in Nature Communications revealed how the protein transforming growth factor-ß-activated kinase 1 (TAK1) is vital in the self-renewal of satellite stem cells.

21, 21, 21! This albums release is somewhat of a surprise to me, mainly because it felt like 21’s momentum was kind of on the decline as of late; however, my father always told me this: “Fire is Fire no matter when it is lit!”, which means that if the album is good, people will appreciate it regardless of the time it was brought out. I for one know that 21 is capable of dropping some heat, as last year I rated his ‘Savage Mode’ EP with Metro Boomin’ pretty damn high, so I have some lofty expectations for this debut. TOP 5 5. FACETIME Which broad is brave/stupid enough to be this Savage’s party favor? Whoever they are, I have added them to my prayers. I never thought 21 can be sentimental like this! (You mean to tell me this n—a has feelings?) Anyway, 21 does sound like he’s drunk in love on this song, as he outlines some romantic plans (Which is drinking alcohol til they get drunk) he has for this unsuspecting woman. 21 sings majority of the time, and does a pretty good job of harmonizing and laying down a nice little melody. 21 can actually make a record that can be played at a day party? Who would’ve thunk it?! I’m sure this relationship is determined to end in a brand new episode of Forensic files. 4. THUG LIFE I LOVE THIS SONG! 21 combined some soul with tough ass lyrics about flexing, flossing, and life lessons. I love when 21 thinks he can do whatever he wants on the mic, and this song is the prime of example of that. 21 continuously finds unique ways to rhyme his words, feverishly searching for the next best topic to keep the song going. There is so many different styles that he raps with on this song, finding a way to make violence sound like a game of hop scotch. 3. BANK ACCOUNT This song is heavy-hitting production-wise, and catchy content-wise; that is the perfect formula for hyping yourself up to fight a lion. The chorus is damn there perfect, with 21 boasting about all the s–t he currently has in his arsenal. Even though his delivery is somewhat elementary sounding, the real ones will definitely want to rap along to it. You can tell 21 thought the chorus was so hot that he can just say whatever he wanted to on the verses… Go ahead and ignore the verses on this joint, fam. 2. BAD BUSINESS ‘Bad Business’ is like 21’s theme song, as he reminds listeners he really is that guy that we’ve heard about in the hood urban legends. This song is very fast-paced, but 21 still takes his time in talking his s–t on it. 21’s flow on this song is the truth, as he absolutely nails each line he drops. On the real, 21 is great at finishing his lines. 1. DEAD PEOPLE ‘Dead People’ is like the horrific version of Big Sean’s ‘Move’. This song has a great bop to it, and its tone is the exact one that 21 excels in. I feel like 21 is very animated on the verses and chorus, delivering a highly energized sound throughout. You can tell he is having some fun on this s–t, something that I think reverberates well with the listeners. The Winslows weren’t lame, bro! Eddie Winslow was damn there a first ballot hall of fame pimp. SONG BY SONG BREAKDOWN 1. FAMOUS (4/5) 2. BANK ACCOUNT (5/5) 3. CLOSE MY EYES (4.5/5) 4. BAD BUSINESS (5/5) 5. BABY GIRL (4/5) 6. THUG LIFE (5/5) 7. FACETIME (4.9/5) 8. NOTHING NEW (4/5) 9. NUMB (4.2/5) 10. DEAD PEOPLE (5/5) 11. MONEY CONVO (3.8/5) 12. SPECIAL (5/5) 13. WHOLE LOT (4.8/5) 14. 7 MINUTE FREESTYLE (4.5/5) OVERALL RATING (7.9/10) This album consists of 25 shootouts, about 15 mothers crying, and 35 women being treated poorly; calling him a ‘Savage’ might be a generous title to give him. If you are capable of blocking out such terror, you will be able to enjoy one of the best rap debuts in years! (Yea I said it) Lets start off with the obvious: The beats on this album are nothing less than fire! production-wise, I give it 10/10, and coincidentally, Metro is responsible for about 80 percent of the beats on this album. A lot of producers make trap beats nowadays, but the beats on this album actually sound like they were made IN the trap. Doesn’t 21 sound like he’s making a cover version of some of your favorite artists throughout this album? On some songs he reminds me of a somber version of Juicy, and on others he reminds me of a somber version of Future; nonetheless, his versatility when it comes to creating a structure to a song is what makes this album very listenable. Surprisingly, 21 is also very lyrical on this album — no he’s not saying the most clever s–t, or the most meaningful s–t in the world, but his cool kid demeanor certainly resonates with you as you listen to each song. I know I cannot relate to his gangster life style, but he somehow makes it sound appealing.. This album is almost a split image of ‘Savage Mode’ to me, as it is very consistent in terms of the musicality. 21 is a lot more intelligent than people probably give him credit for, which convinces me that he has a good ear for making music.

Not strictly classed "entertainment", this bastion of British free public speech and free assembly can prove one of the most absorbingly unique, theatrical activities the city has to offer. Located on the corner of Park Lane and Cumberland Gate, opposite Marble Arch tube, Speakers' Corner is the spiritual home of the British democratic tradition of soapbox oratory. Every Sunday since the right of free assembly was recognised in 1872 in the Royal Parks and Garden's Act, people from all walks of life have gathered to listen to speeches about anything and everything... and to heckle. From Socialism to Sunday trading, sausages to space invaders, the opinions aired here are varied and fascinating. While Karl Marx, Lenin, George Orwell, and William Morris have all used this spot to express their ideals and beliefs, your average speaker isn't quite as high profile. The coherence of the speakers also varies greatly, but as a whole it makes for great street theatre. Come and watch, come and heckle, or, if you have a burning desire to share your opinions with the world, come and spout - take something to stand on and start pontificating. Although Sunday morning is the best time to visit, speakers can now be found on the corner throughout the week. Best for: Marxism, Socialism, Capitalism, public protestations and pontifications, rants and ramblings.

Finance Minister Steven Joyce using a tried and true formula with his tax cut tease. Opinion: There's an art to extracting the maximum political mileage out of the election-year Budget, especially when it comes to tax cuts. It is a skill perfected over the years by (mainly National) finance ministers. You can tease, tantalise, half promise ... you can even give a steer as to where cuts might come. Former prime minister John Key, discussing the 2015 Budget with his successor Bill English, was aware of the need to "rebrand" tax cuts. And you always say they will be targeted at "low and middle income earners" even if you have to squint through a prism to see them that way. But you never, ever confirm them ahead of time. READ MORE: * Joyce signals low and middle earners' top rates target for tax cuts * Finance Minister warns home buyers to think ahead, with houses "fully priced" * Steven Joyce lining up tax thresholds * Finance Minister English hands PM English a rosy bunch of forecasts * 'Reducing debt and earthquake recovery more important than tax cuts' * Government back in the black by a narrow $9 million, ahead of forecast For preference you milk as many headlines as possible from the slow reveal (see: "tease, tantalise and half promise", above) while leaving the serious spending until after the election. That way you get to spend only a wee slice of the election year Budget, to cover just three months of your first year's tax largesse - from April to the end of the financial year on June 30. READ MORE: * Joyce signals low and middle earners' top rates target for tax cuts * Finance Minister warns home buyers to think ahead, with houses "fully priced" * Steven Joyce lining up tax thresholds Even better, you can also preserve the best possible surplus for the pre-election Budget, granting yourself bragging rights over your awesome fiscal management. But at the same time you can promise mega-bucks from the post-election Budget - in the current case the May 2018 document - safe in the knowledge that forecast surpluses will be bigger next year (they always are) while at the same time dangling the cash as a not-so-subtle election bribe. "You'll have to vote for me if you want to get them. Vote for them and you may not." This time around there are signs the public is more sympathetic to spending on public services, help with extra incomes for the poorest, and extra cash to improve infrastructure - with the Kaikoura earthquakes fresh in mind. Before he quit John Key showed he was alert to the politics on the income side of the equation with his talk of a "family and tax cut package" - because tax cuts in themselves could not deliver much to those earning the least. Starting soon after he was appointed last year Finance Minister Steven Joyce has been largely playing the same tune. In two key speeches over the past week he has set out his four priorities; better public services, building (more sustainable) infrastructure, reducing the debt burden as a percentage of GDP. and lowering "the tax burden ...in particular the impact of marginal tax rates on lower and middle income earners". When it comes to the tax cut aspect he has been playing from the score composed by his predecessors. The cuts will only come when the Government has the (undefined) room to do so. This year the plan will "start" this year or next but there will not be big bikkies in the May 25 Budget. And he has been making it clear since before Christmas that the focus will be on the thresholds. Under the current regime the tax rates are 10.5 per cent up to $14,000 a year, 17.5 per cent from $14,000 to $48,000, 30 per cent above that until the top 33c rate cuts in at $70,000. But Joyce has repeatedly highlighted the $48,000 threshold, pointing out that the rate makes a big jump at that point, from 17.5 per cent to 30 per cent. When student loan repayments of 12.5 per cent are added (which are triggered at income of $19,084 - so look for a move there too) the marginal tax rate balloons to 42c in the dollar. Poverty researcher Susan St John has pointed out that it can get worse. Someone with children and a student loan, who earns more than $48,000 also faces a loss of 22.5 per cent of their Working for families entitlement, making their effective tax rate as bad as 64.5 per cent. Even so, if Joyce is true to his spruiking, wouldn't a move to lift those bottom thresholds meet the promise of helping low and middle income earners. Well, yes and no. First, pushing the $48,000 level up significantly would narrow the gap to the top 33 per cent threshold of $70,000, bringing with it pressures to lift that top threshold too. And then there is the simple fact that the greatest dollar beneficiaries of a move to the thresholds are the people with earnings above the new threshold. So an increase in the threshold from, say, $48,000 to $60,000 will give all those between those two levels something. But it is those on $60,000 and above who would reap the most; $1500 a year or about $30 a week. Changes to other thresholds cascade up in a similar way. But big threshold moves are not cheap. Lifting the $48,000 threshold to $60,000 would cost a cool $1.5 billion a year out of a pot that Key, before he quit, said should be about $3 billion a year (about $30 a week each) to be meaningful to voters. Truth to tell anyone can play the tax-cut shuffle. All you need is Treasury's handy ready reckoner. Each $1000 increase in the top threshold (currently $70,000) costs $20m. Each $1000 increase in the middle threshold (currently $48,000) costs $125m. Each $1000 increase in the bottom threshold (currently $14,000) costs $160m. Give yourself a $3 billion pile of coin, and mix and match the options. At least it will be more fun than watching Joyce do the dance of the fiscal veils.

Most probably, military applications outnumber all other radar applications in science, meteorology and air traffic control. A few of these applications are listed below. Radars work as sensors to put a given area under surveillance, find targets therein, track their movements, and direct other weapons or countermeasures against them. Other applications like navigation and weather radar are also used by the military. Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) is covered in the entry about Primary and Secondary Radar. Surveillance Applications Ground Penetrating Radar. Landmines, buried some centimetres below the surface, are very dangerous weapons not only in wartime but also for decades afterwards. The landscapes of countries like Angola, Cambodia, the former Yugoslavia and even the deserts of Libya are still contaminated with leftovers from wars that are long finished. Ground-penetrating radar can be used to find and subsequently destroy these mines because radar signals are not completely absorbed or reflected at the boundary between air and ground, but can penetrate into soil, provided that the moisture content is not too high. Area Surveillance or Ground Surveillance. Most of these radars are small devices (about the size of a business suitcase) mounted on tripods. They serve as a kind of sentry to keep an 'eye' on an area and issue an alert as soon as something is going on. This function is also performed by JSTARS, an airborne MTI (moving target indicator) radar that puts a whole battlefield under surveillance and monitors movements like march columns on the ground. A prototype was successfully used during Desert Storm in 1991. Air Surveillance. Monitoring the airspace is essential for detecting hostile aircraft and directing defensive measures against them. The first such application was the British Chain Home of World War II. In general, radars cannot look around corners - therefore, these radars are usually located on elevated places in order to achieve maximum coverage area. Better coverage, especially against ground-hugging aircraft, can be obtained if the radar is mounted on an airborne platform such as AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System). Some radars can look around corners: Over The Horizon (OTH) radars exploit certain features of Earth's atmosphere and can detect low-flying objects out to distances of thousands of kilometres. Target Tracking Tracking radars intend to keep a pair of virtual crosshairs centred on a target. They are built around Conical Scan or Monopulse antennae which yield very precise angle measurements. The readings are taken as input to direct gunfire or to control missile weapons. The ultimate systems in terms of hardware and software complexity are tracking radars built with monopulse phased array antennae. This is accomplished by either splitting an antenna array into four sub-arrays or illuminating the array with a monopulse feed. By switching the antenna's beam position and beam shape, such radars are capable of tracking multiple targets at the same time, doing target searches in between, and transmitting guidance commands to missiles, or illuminating a target so that a missile-seeker head can find it. Applications Shell-tracking. Radar can detect all kinds of airborne objects, and artillery shells are among them. Shell-tracking radars are used for improving the accuracy of an aircraft's own fire and for measuring the flight trajectory of hostile projectiles, in order to calculate their point of origin. Ballistic Missile Early Warning (BMEWS) and Ballistic Missile Defence. This is where the big ones are. The requirement for high angular resolution at long ranges leads to really huge antennae. The antennae for ABM (anti ballistic missile) phased array radars such as Cobra Dane or Pave Paws can easily take on the dimensions of multi-storey buildings. The latest project in this area is the GBR (Ground Based Radar), which is a part of the American NMD (Nuclear Missile Defence) incentive. Also called X-band Radar because of the frequency band employed, it is used to find and track incoming long range missiles or individual warheads, preferably before they reach the summit of their trajectory. Finally... Many radars aren't simply built to perform one or the other of the above functions but to integrate them in a single device. A fighter-borne air intercept radar needs to perform surveillance in order to find its target, and it needs to switch into a tracking and target illumination mode of operation once engagement has begun. The same is true for shipborne equipment like AN/SPY-1 or AEGIS. Limited available space on the platform dictates that several functions be performed by the same hardware and, in particular, through the same antenna. If these functions have been combined professionally, the radar must be called a system rather than a device - otherwise the radar is nothing more than a weak compromise. Because radar is such a formidable force multiplier, denying an opponent the benefits of using their radars is a discipline of its own. More about that can be found in the entries around the entry Electronic Combat.

Canada look to end their disappointing tour on a more positive note as they travel to Lisbon for the third time to face Portugal, a side determined to play spoiler. PORTUGAL vs CANADA Saturday, November 23, 15:00 GMT, Lisbon Despite being seven spots below Canada in the IRB rankings, Os Lobos have proved themselves capable of competing with the visitors as they have lost the last two tests by less than 10 point each time, the last one by only 3. The Canadians look tired and beaten up and have been forced to draft in extra players to make up the numbers for this match. Portugal themselves will still be recovering from a long journey to Brazil, where they played this past weekend, earning a resounding 68-0 win. Frederico Sousa has made just one change to last week’s starting side, as Fernando Almeida makes his run-on debut in place of Julien Bardy, who has returned to Clermont. Nuno Costa replaces Luis Salema on the bench, and uncapped Luis Portela – apparently also a successful motocross rider but otherwise a mystery man – provides back row cover. Captain Joao Correia is one of six players left from the side that lost narrowly three years ago. Canada have released nearly all of their professionals back to their clubs, including Ospreys duo Tyler Ardron and Jeff Hassler, London Irish flanker Jebb Sinclair, Cornish Pirates fullback Matt Evans, and Sale wing Phil Mackenzie. In better news Ray Barkwill has been passed fit to play, and Taylor Paris has joined up with the squad from Agen. Kyle Gilmour, Patrick Parfrey, and Connor Braid – all part of the team that faced the Maori in Toronto – have been drafted in as emergency cover. Gilmour and Djustice Sears-Duru both stand to win their first official test caps should they appear. Hubert Buydens captains in the absence of Ardron, and is joined in the pack by Jon Phelan who rotates with Brett Beukeboom in the second row. The all-openside back row sees John Moonlight and Adam Kleeberger both playing slightly out of position, an interesting selection that may yield mobility but sacrifices a huge amount of size and power. Conor Trainor replaces Hassler on the wing, and James Pritchard comes in for Evans at fullback. At full strength the visitors win this easily, but with so many disruptions and a serious lack of firepower up front this match should prove significantly more challenging than first expected. The handling errors that have plagued the Canadians over the last two games could be exacerbated with the forecast of rain a near-certainty, something that could also negatively affect their already struggling tactical kicking game. A Portuguese victory here is not far out of the realms of possibility, which in and of itself should be a concern to Canadian fans, but the experience of the visitors should be enough to scrape through in the end. Canada wins by 5.

"One" is a song by American heavy metal band Metallica.[1] It was released as the third and final single from their fourth studio album, ...And Justice for All (1988). Written by band members James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, "One" is an anti-war song that portrays a World War I soldier who is severely wounded — arms and legs blown off by a landmine, blind and unable to speak or move — begging God to take his life as he feels constant pain. His only hope is to devise a way to communicate with the hospital staff. In the music video, he jolts in the hospital bed, spelling "Kill me" in Morse code.[2] Production of the song was done by the band alongside Flemming Rasmussen. The song was the band's first top 40 hit single in the U.S., reaching number 35 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was also a number one hit in Finland. A video for the song was introduced in January 1989 on MTV. Shot in black and white by director Michael Salomon, the video's story is intercut with scenes taken from the 1971 anti-war film Johnny Got His Gun. Due to routinely being required to pay royalty fees to continue showing the music video, Metallica bought the rights to the film. The video was ranked at number one on MTV soon after its introduction.[3] Metallica performed "One" for the 31st Annual Grammy Awards show broadcast from Los Angeles in 1989. The next year, the song won a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance, the first ever win in that category.[3] The band also performed the song alongside pianist Lang Lang at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards in 2014. The song is one of the band's most popular pieces and has remained a live staple since the release of the album, making this the most played song from ...And Justice for All. Recording and composition [ edit ] "One" was written in November 1987 by Metallica's principal composers James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. The song was released in 1989 as the third and final single from the album. For the first 17 seconds of the song there are a series of sound effects with a battle theme, an artillery barrage and helicopter are heard and continues slightly over a clean tone guitar intro by Hetfield before Kirk Hammett comes in over the top with a clean-toned solo. Ulrich's drums come in and continues until each chorus, when the guitars become heavy and distorted before returning to clean. There is a second solo by Hammett halfway through the song, before lyrics cut out and the song gradually gets more heavy and distorted until the "machine gun" guitar build up (played alongside double bass drums) before the next, often highly praised, guitar solo by Hammett, and a final dual solo by Hammett and Hetfield. The song begins in 4/4 time, and later 3/4 as well as 2/4. In 1991, James Hetfield told Guitar World that he wrote the song's opening B-G chord change (miscalling it a 'modulation') based on an idea prompted by the Venom song "Buried Alive" from their second studio album, Black Metal. I had been fiddling around with that B-G modulation for a long time. The idea for the opening came from a Venom song called "Buried Alive". The kick drum machine-gun part near the end wasn't written with the war lyrics in mind, it just came out that way. We started that album with Mike Clink as producer. He didn't work out so well, so we got Flemming to come over and save our asses. The song starts off in a soft melodic setting, but it develops through multiple sections into heavier and faster speed metal sounds,[4] leading up to a technically complex tapping solo by Kirk Hammett,[5] and a dual guitar section by Hammett and James Hetfield.[1] Concept [ edit ] The song is based on the idea of a soldier losing all of his limbs and being unable to hear, speak, or see, set to a World War I backdrop. In an interview in New Zealand in 1989, Ulrich describes the movie Johnny Got His Gun as having a similar theme, and this was the reason it was incorporated into the video.[6] Music video [ edit ] "One" was the first Metallica song for which a music video was created. The music video, directed by Bill Pope and Michael Salomon, debuted on MTV on January 20, 1989. The video, shot in Long Beach, California, is almost entirely in black and white, and features the band performing the song in a warehouse. It features dialogue and several scenes from the 1971 film adaptation of Johnny Got His Gun. Timothy Bottoms can be seen starring as Joe Bonham, the main character in the novel (written by Dalton Trumbo and published in September 1939; the basis for the 1971 film). Three versions of the "One" music video were made; the first (the longest, album version) contained scenes of both the band and scenes from the movie. The second was simply a shortened version of the first, and the third, often known as the "jammin' version", lacked scenes from the movie (the song and video fades at the last bridge in the third version). Like many other music videos from Metallica, "One" puts great emphasis on the performances of the band members as musicians, with many shots of James, Jason and Kirk's hands picking and fretting. The video features the band members in a typical early Metallica fashion: playing (as if in rehearsal) in some sort of warehouse, in tight formation around Lars' drum kit, and dressed in casual street clothes and with long untamed hair. In the music video, both James and Kirk play ESP guitars; Jason Newsted is on a 5-string Wal bass. Jason plays bass with his fingers at the start of the song, but later switches to a pick. Two of the three versions of the "One" music video appear on 2 of One, a VHS released on July 1, 1990 and both would again be featured on the band's 2006 music video compilation DVD. The music video was ranked at number 38 on Rock on the Net: MTV: 100 Greatest Music Videos and number one on Fuse's No. 1 Countdown: Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Special Edition. Live performance [ edit ] "One" is a favorite of many Metallica fans, and therefore is a fixture of the band's live performances. When played live, the song is usually played with guitars tuned down by one semitone (a permanent fixture of their studio and live work since the post Metallica era, save for Death Magnetic in the case of the former) and is preceded by pyrotechnics and the same sounds of war such as machine guns, and bombs exploding as heard on the recorded version. The song also features heavy strobe lighting during the heavier half of the song, namely before the Hammett solo. The song was also featured on S&M, Metallica's album of live performances in collaboration with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Michael Kamen. Another mentionable performance was at the Grammy Awards 2014, having pianist Lang Lang accompanying the band on an acoustic grand piano.[7] Track listing [ edit ] Personnel [ edit ] Charts [ edit ] Honors [ edit ] See also [ edit ] References [ edit ]

Updated 3 pm Thursday, July 11, 2013 It was obvious, to the people on Norton Point Beach who spotted a sailing yacht adrift and bobbing in the surf about 1,000 feet offshore on July 5, that the vessel was in distress. The jib had been shredded. The boom was broken. No one was at the helm as the 36-footer drifted toward the opening to Katama Bay. They called 9-1-1, and Edgartown first responders immediately dispatched two rescue boats, fearing they would find a medical emergency, or worse. They didn’t. “We got our guy on board,” Edgartown fire Chief Peter Shemeth said. “There was nobody on the boat. The radios were still on the weather channel, there were solar chargers powering the radios. It was kind of eerie. The bunks were made up, everything was pristine.” While first responders didn’t find a medical emergency, they did find a somewhat miraculous, somewhat ironic, story as they began to unravel the mystery. It turns out, the boat had been adrift for 54 days. She had managed to float mostly unscathed through busy East Coast shipping lanes, avoid the jagged, rocky New York and New England shoreline, and land on a soft, sandy spit of beach more than 700 miles from where her owner abandoned ship, thinking he would never see his vessel again. “No, I didn’t think so,” said Bill Heldenbrand, who, for reasons that had nothing to do with the phantom voyage, named his boat Running Free. “I thought it was real unlikely.” Mr. Heldenbrand arrived in Falmouth on Tuesday, planning to salvage his boat. He was in Georgia when he found out about her unlikely reappearance. “A family that is vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard saw the boat come ashore,” Mr. Heldenbrand said. “Somehow they did some research and they called me. I was amazed. They called me and sent me a picture of it on the beach.” Situation at sea Mr. Heldenbrand had faced a quick, tough decision on May 12, as he sailed solo from Jacksonville, Florida, to Bermuda, where he planned to lay over for a few days and then sail on to Europe. Almost everything he owned was on board his Pearson 365 ketch. He had no previous sailing experience when he bought the vessel in December 2012, but he had dreamed of life at sea. He spent the next five months outfitting Running Free for a trans-Atlantic voyage and learning how to handle the boat on his own. He quickly discovered how different the open ocean is compared with the protected waters of the St. John’s River in Jacksonville. About 550 miles off the East Coast, still about 400 miles from Bermuda, he ran into a fierce storm with waves topping 20 feet and steady winds of 40 knots, he said. “I thought, this storm is bad now, and it’s going to get worse, and it’s going to last several days,” Mr. Heldenbrand said. “I don’t have insurance on the boat, so I weighed the value of the boat against the increased chance of me living longer, and the boat lost.” In the first of several miraculous coincidences, an oil tanker was passing nearby. “I had to make the decision really fast,” he said. “I was stopped in the water, and the oil tanker was going by at 14.5 knots. My radio range was only 5-6 miles. He was about out of radio range.” The tanker changed course to take him aboard, and he set Running Free adrift. Passions and dreams Mr. Heldenbrand has an unusual lifestyle, and he is an unusual man. The 67-year-old entrepreneur retired from an engineering and business career six years ago, to pursue his passion. He is a long, long, long distance runner, competing in 24-hour, 100-mile endurance foot races over mountain trails. Since his retirement, he has traveled from race to race in his RV, competing in more than 40 such events. He doesn’t really call any place home. “My official residence is in South Dakota,” Mr. Heldenbrand said. “But I haven’t been there in years. South Dakota has really good mail forwarding service.” His whole sailing adventure began when he got the idea to compete in a six-day endurance race in England. “I read a lot of sailing books, and dreamed about it,” he said. “I thought it would just be cool, instead of flying there, to buy a sailboat, learn to sail it, and sail it over there.” His life has been filled with twists and turns like that, fueled by an appetite for adventure and an intrepid approach to learning new things. As a young man with a secure job in his chosen field of engineering, he got interested in racing motorcycles. To pursue that passion, he quit his job and started a motorcycle dealership, building it into a successful business. Salvage plan TowBoatUS, a Falmouth based salvage and towing service, tried on Sunday, and again on Monday, to shift the vessel from Norton Point Beach, but high waves foiled the attempt. The plan now is to wait for calmer weather on Friday and try again. Mr. Heldenbrand is approaching the salvage operation methodically. “I need to see the damage, weigh the cost,” he said. “I’ve got to get this boat off the beach, then I’ve got to be smart about what I do with it. I’ve got my RV here, and the boat is here, and I need to get the boat down south somehow, and I need to get the RV down south, too. I haven’t figured out how to do [both] yet, but I’ll figure it out.” He seems undaunted by his brush with disaster at sea, and he hopes to sail again. But for the moment, he is most eager to get his possessions back. “About everything I owned, other than my RV, is on that boat,” he said. “I’m looking forward to getting my clothes, my collection of running shoes. I planned on staying in Europe a year or two.” Mr. Heldenbrand’s string of luck was interrupted this week when looters boarded the grounded boat and stole equipment. Chris Kennedy, superintendent of The Trustees of Reservations, which managed Norton Point Beach, confirmed that looters have stolen most of the items from the vessel. According to Edgartown police, Mr. Heldenbrand reported the thefts on Thursday, and police have begun an investigation. Mr. Heldenbrand won’t let salvage and repairs to Running Free interrupt his race schedule. He plans to be at the starting line in four weeks for that race in England, even though his original transportation plans have necessarily changed. “My passion is running, and I like being free,” he said. “I’ve got this big race coming up that I really want to do well in. I’ll keep my focus. I guess I’m going to take a plane now.”

By Terry Wade HOUSTON (Reuters) - A troubled lawyer opened fire on morning commuters in Houston on Monday, injuring at least nine people before being fatally shot by police, authorities said. Six victims were taken to hospitals and three were treated at the scene after being shot at while inside their vehicles in the wealthy neighborhood of West University Place, acting Houston Police Chief Martha Montalvo told reporters. One of the victims was in critical condition and another was in serious condition. Montalvo declined to identify the suspect but said he was a lawyer. She said the FBI was assisting with the investigation and did not mention terrorism as a motive. Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, in Cuba on a trip to develop trade relations, told reporters, “The motivation appears to be a lawyer whose relationship with his law firm went bad.” The police bomb squad was securing the suspect’s car, a black Porsche, which had numerous weapons in it. Police were planning to search his house. Broken glass from shattered car windows littered a parking lot in an upscale shopping center near where the suspect fired 20 to 30 shots. An unidentified woman, standing next to a car with two bullet holes in the windshield, told a local television station she heard “the bullets literally whiz by my window.” Live video streams showed numerous police cars and ambulances in the area. There were also a few vehicles seen with bullet holes.

The only officially recognized replica of Shotaro Kaneda's motorcycle from Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira manga and film is currently traveling across Japan. Shinji Tejima from the Showa Studio automobile repair shop spent seven years and approximately 10 million yen (about US$121,400) to build the motorcycle, and he is riding it across Japan to raise money for the children's autism support group Bokura Company. Tejima started his journey in Fukuoka where he lives and is traveling south and has stopped in various cities such as Osaka, Nagoya, and on Shōdo Island. Tejima will also display the motorcycle at the "Katsuhiro Otomo GENGA Exhibition" in Tokyo, which is being held from April 9 to May 30. Visitors to the exhibition will be able have their picture taken while sitting on the bike. The exhibition itself is being held to raise money to support the reconstruction efforts in the Tohoku region after the March 11 earthquake and tsunami disaster.

Specializing in Forward-Thinking Craft Brewing Techniques, Adventurous Mixology and Cuisine, The Clock Tower Strives to keep Glass-Clinking Camaraderie Alive and Well in The Neighbourhood. Tribhuvan Yadav and his childhood pursuit of creating the ideal neighbourhood pub leads us to this interview talking about his second venture into India’s microbrewery world with The Loft by the Clock Tower. Educated from Sherwood, Tribhuvan is a well-travelled businessman who believes in pushing boundaries towards greater success. For Tribhuvan Yadav, the essence of life is enhanced with value addition in terms of both work and play. Heir to Yadav Group of Companies a conglomerate that he helped take forward from its inception as a home-grown business, he has always made sure his work reflects the ethics that his family trade instilled in him. A man with many feathers in his cap, Mr. Yadav is also the owner of HT Hospitality with two exquisite properties under his name. The Clock Tower, and Loft, the newest offering in the pub and microbrewery arena are two of Gurgaon’s must visit places. From flour mills that cater to some of India’s biggest food related businesses, a Polymer business and microbreweries. BW in conversation with Tribhuvan Yadav about the much-anticipated opening of Loft at 32 Milestone and what loyalists can expect. What is the concept behind the Loft? How is it different from your first ven08ture (Clock Tower)? The concept for Loft is derived from old fashioned meat packing & warehousing industries located in New York & Manhattan. Whereas at the Clock Tower, the venue is infused with elegant post-colonial influences drawn from the British Raj era, made evident in the heavy pine woodwork, large English style doors and windows, 24-foot-high ceiling and overall palette. Spread over 12,000sq feet, each and every division of Loft i.e. – The Library Bar, Old Boy’s Corner, The Madhatter dance floor even the Portico are designed differently to carter to each crowd. Another major difference between the two establishments is the type of beers we brew & serve. At the Clock Tower, our beers are true to style and reflect a very Scottish, Irish, Hungarian & South West Russia influenced beer portfolio. All the beers brewed at Loft, are also true to style but with a slightly modern twist to it, for example we brew a classical Belgium wheat beer, which has been infused with rose petals. Talk to us about the interior & design of The Loft – Where did your inspiration come from and is the same reflected at the brewery? Spread over 12,000 sq feet and seating around 300 customers, the attention to detail in every section, space, corner & even the ceiling has a lot of thought behind it. As mentioned the style at Loft depicts those old-fashioned warehouses & packaging units spotted in New York & Manhattan, the idea stemmed from a lot of traveling over the past 8-9 years. Located in sector 15, Gurgaon we aim at creating an experience for each customer walking in, regardless of age. The Courtyard: As soon as you enter Loft, past the portico, we have a courtyard area, seating around 25 people. This area is designed to target the 30-50 age group. So, there’s no noise of the inside music, typical outdoor setting with a lot of green and minimalistic designed furniture. Taking our customer’s opinion into consideration, we also tied up with Blue Tokai to create a coffee corner for patrons. The same is also used for our brew – the Kappi Stout. Hence, the courtyard reflects a sort of open-air working space, where one can indulge in a coffee or a beer. The Ground Floor: is kind of a tribute to Clock Tower. High strung wrought iron chandeliers filled with heavy wood tables & chairs. This portion of Loft plays only retro music & also caters to a private dinning space seating. The First Floor: as true in a warehouse, one wall has been removed making the break way spaces visible to patrons – i.e. the terrace & the upper floor. Above the dance floor, we’ve tapped into our quirky senses, we’ve created a Madhatter ceiling, where we suspended hats of various colours & styles – to depict since you’re having such a great time, you throw your hat up in salute to the same. It’s quite a view and was designed specifically to target the millennium crowd. The Malt Bar: Above the dance floor, we have a 25-30ft high bar which looks over the brewery. The Upper-Loft: also named the Library Bar, is an easy-going space filled with high backed leather chairs & long wooden tables. Seating around 60 patrons, this corner is stacked high with books, and has a very Speakeasy vibe. The Terrace: seats around 30-40 people, at tables of 2’s & 3’s. Reserved for special seasonal BBQ’s, this area is also equipped with an Indian clay oven and a breakaway smoking zone. Launched on February 7th, what is your strategy to engage with the urban youth? And with so many microbreweries in Gurgaon, how does the Loft aim to stand apart? There are definitely a lot of breweries & allied establishments spread across Gurgaon, but Loft is a one-of-a-kind experience located in sector 15. We know that we can rely on The Clock Tower loyalists to also visit Loft. Apart from social media campaign & word-of-mouth promotions, we also created campaigns to attract various target age group patrons. For example, we’re organising a street-magician to target the corporate clients. A lot more campaigns are in progress as well, which I’m sure you’ll hear about soon! What do you think are the challenges restricting the progress of microbreweries in the country? The biggest challenge I believe restricting microbreweries is that there’s no set standard law, it’s in a constant state of ever-changing pieces of the puzzle. There isn’t any central governing body to dictate a general set of rules for the entire nation. Each state has its own policies & limitation, even the drinking age in the country varies from state-to-state. With beer being one of the lower alcoholic beverages amongst the rest, the price of taxes on that one brew is phenomenal as compared to hard liquor taxation. India is currently witnessing the expansion of beer markets, what are your thoughts on the same? It’s a highly fragmented industry. Within the beer realm, you have so many microbreweries, beer outlets, production breweries and now taprooms. It’s great to see how people find a loophole in the system to come up with these options. Bangalore & Delhi are mature markets in terms of beer, but eventually I believe the bigger players will start acquiring the smaller ones, very similar to what’s happening in the US, but we have a lot of time to get to that level. A few areas we should to work on are – Pricing & procurement strategy, and vendor management transparency. What advice would you give a beer-preneur intending to take your path? The first decision you should make for yourself is why you want to get into this industry – passion or money? If you’re not in it for the long-run it just doesn’t make scenes. The economic module for a brewery has changed, along with-it monthly pay-outs has increased and will continue to increase. It’s not as economically fruitful as it should be because of various stipulations. Speaking with brew master Sagar Powale, completing his degree in Biotechnology from Ruia college, Mumbai and his Masters in Brewing and Distilling from Heriot Watt University. Sagar Powale shares his enthusiasm for brewing at Loft. “When it comes to Loft by The Clock Tower, I can assure you there are surprising brews on tap waiting for you. At Loft I have planned and poured all my experience to make all my brews which Gurgaon has never witnessed before. Brews at Loft is fusion of Modern and Traditional brewing, where in we have infused all our beers with some special ingredients”. Talk to us about the current portfolio of beers at the Loft? Talk to us about the current portfolio of beers at the Loft?We’re going to start with 4 always-available brews, and of course one tap will be reserved for our seasonal brews. Our current portfolio includes – Rose-Wheat American Lager: This beer is brewed to pay our tribute to ‘King of Flowers’. Rose Wheat ale is an innovative beer inspired by the classic Rose wine. With a touch of tannins and splash of little red corvette rose petals, this is light pink beer perfect for beer fans who don’t like much bitter beers. Since this beer does not feature high alcohol percentage it is a perfect beer that can be even enjoyed on a perfect Sunny day. Country of Origin – USA Alcohol by Volume – 4% IBU – 15 Special Ingredients – Little Red Corvette petals Vienna Lager: Named after the city in which it originated, a traditional Vienna Lager is brewed using a three-step decoction boiling process. At loft we have infused this beer with smoked oak chips which we have specially imported from USA. This beer pours brightly, with a beautiful amber orange hue and foamy white head. Toasted malt characters envelope the palate, giving this beer a slightly malty sweetness. Plus the infused smoked oak chips also leaves slightly smokiness after taste. Finishing crisp and clean, it will have you coming back for more.

We have used special variety of Saison yeast in this beer which we have specially imported from Belgium, giving our peppery phenolic and spicy after taste. This beer is low on hops thus making perfect for beer lovers who wants to try something new and spice up their day.5 SPICED SAISON: The word “saison” means season in French and speaks to its intimate connection to the seasons.

As I currently brew in different cities throughout the country, like Gurgaon, Chandigarh, Kolkata, Pune and Mumbai, I noticed there definitely are similarities with tastes, there is more openness and progressiveness to try stronger flavours, more hoppy beers, varieties and variations in the South market. People in North India have sweeter palates as compared to people from South of India. Majority of the beers brewed in the north are wheat beers as its sweet and generally infused with something citrusy, versus a Pilsner or IPA. In one of my breweries, The Clock Tower, we serve an ‘IPA’ and ‘Scottish Ale’ which is rarely seen in Gurgaon but is getting popular around town and receives good response. What would you say are challenges that affect the production of good beers in India? Since the craft beer market is still a virgin market in India, brewers face lots of issues in order to make a good beer. Sourcing of raw materials, to even specific beer glass cleaners can be a task. No doubt, you have Indian suppliers who import international brands and products but it’s still a very limited choice. Another important criterion is the machinery or brewery plant. Living in the era of cutting-edge technology, there are so many options – German or European plant, metal or stainless steel. All these factors contribute to producing a good mug of beer. Another major area of concern would – Quality Vs Quantity, this is one of the most common questions a brewpub faces. Opening their doors on the 7th of February 2019, add the Loft to your beer bucket list of places to visit!

What is ‘Social Capital’ Social capital is an economic idea that refers to the connections between individuals and entities that can be economically valuable. Social networks that include people who trust and assist each other can be a powerful asset. These relationships between individuals and companies can lead to a state in which each thinks of the other when something needs to be done. BREAKING DOWN ‘Social Capital’ Along with economic capital, social capital is a valuable mechanism in economic growth. As technological advancements continue to make the world smaller and the global population more interconnected, companies rely on social capital more than ever to drive business. While in decades past, companies could rely on persuasive marketing to get customers in the door, in the 21st century, those customers are plugging into social networks and relying on their peers to direct them to a provider when a business need arises. Examples of Social Capital Social capital permeates many aspects of the business world, including companies acquiring new customers and individual job-seekers finding employment. A person who knows somebody at a company where he is applying for a job and uses this connection to secure the position has benefited from social capital in his employment search. Likewise, an insurance agent who joins a local church or civic organization and uses the relationships he builds within to acquire new clients and increase his book of business has also employed social capital. Companies such as Airbnb and Uber have harnessed social capital to grow their market shares and become major disruptive forces in their industries. Both companies rely on the power of social networks not only for marketing but for quality control, as users contribute public reviews of provider quality and vice versa. Bonding vs. Bridging Social Capital Bonding and bridging represent two forms of social capital. Bonding social capital is social capital that arises from the connections formed by homogeneous groups, such as employees within a single company or enthusiasts of a specific hobby. Bridging social capital, by contrast, results when members of different groups forge connections to share ideas and information. Negative Effects of Social Capital Social capital can also have negative effects. For example, negative social capital results when a social network is used for manipulative or destructive purposes that affect the economy negatively, such as when a group colludes to fix market prices. Nefarious groups, such as gangs and drug cartels, use social capital to strengthen bonds within the group and to reach out to like-minded individuals to increase their ranks. Moreover, the presence of such groups can decrease the overall social capital in a neighborhood or city, which causes local businesses to suffer, as potential customers avoid these areas on account of their less-than-stellar reputations.

Getty Images A "Help Wanted" sign is posted in the window of an automotive service shop in California. Companies aren’t laying off many workers these days. WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The number of people applying for new unemployment benefits fell by 8,000 to 287,000 in the last week of September, offering yet another sign that layoffs remain low and the labor market continues to improve. Initial jobless claims have been below the key 300,000 mark for three straight weeks and five of the last seven, according to Labor Department data issued Thursday. The decline in claims offers a bit of good news to investors after jitters about the global economy sent U.S. stocks lower in Wednesday action. Economists polled by MarketWatch expected claims to rise to a seasonally adjusted 298,000 in the week of Sept. 21 to Sept. 27. “Claims remain at low levels consistent with an improving labor market,” said Derek Lindsey, an economist at BNP Paribas. The average of new claims over the past month fell by 4,250 to 294,750 — just a hair above an eight-year low. The four-week average reduces seasonal volatility in the weekly data and is seen as a more accurate barometer of labor-market trends. Jobless claims are a good measure of whether layoffs are rising or falling. The number of layoffs announced in September fell to the lowest level in 14 years, according to the outplacement firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas. U.S.-based employers announced workforce reductions totaling 30,477. As the fourth quarter begins, the firm said, 2014 is on pace to post the fewest amount of layoffs since 1997. Initial claims are now close to the smallest levels the economy has experienced since 1980, so they probably can’t go much lower. Since 1980 initial claims have only fallen under 300,000 about 5.7% of the time. Still, changes in the number of people seeking benefits tend to correlate over time with how many jobs the economy is producing, and other broad-based employment indicators from private and public sources show that hiring is at the strongest level in years. The payroll-processing firm ADP, for instance, reported on Wednesday that 213,000 private-sector jobs were created in September. What’s more, the federal government on Friday is expected to report that the U.S. added a net 220,000 jobs last month. Even with improved job growth, however, the labor market is not as strong as it typically is when jobless claims are so low. U.S. unemployment stood at 6.1% in August, well above the 4.8% rate that prevailed the last time the four-week average of claims was at the same level as it is now. What’s more, the number of people who want to work but can’t find a full-time job remains elevated historically — it’s still higher than at any time before the 2007-2009 recession began. Meanwhile, Labor said continuing claims decreased by 45,000 to a seasonally adjusted 2.39 million in the week ended Sept 20. That’s the smallest amount since June 2006. Continuing claims reflect the number of people already receiving benefits. Initial claims from two weeks ago were revised up to 295,000 from 293,000, based on more complete data collected at the state level.

Telford has been a United States Professional Tennis Association-certified pro since 1991, was named USPTA’s Female Player of the Year in 1993, and was inducted into the Eastern Tennis Hall of Fame in 2002. When her career on the tour ended, she turned to coaching. She served as the head coach of the West Boca High School‘s girls’ tennis team and led players to both individual and team State Championships. Then she guided two South Palm Beach Women’s teams to league titles while working as a tennis pro at the Mission Bay Tennis Center. Now, Telford is the Head Tennis Professional at Addison Reserve Country Club in Delray Beach. How did you start playing tennis? I grew up in New Jersey. I played some sports and liked softball the best. I finally swung a tennis racquet with my father at a small park near Fairfield, NJ when I was about 10 years old. We had walked by this park and saw the courts many times. He talked me into giving it a try. I soon met George Basco at the park, and he gave me lessons for the next few years. George inspired me, gave me confidence and a great tennis foundation. He and my father encouraged me to play in tournaments. I picked up the sport really fast and won several junior tournaments. In the fall before my sixteenth birthday, I moved to Bollettieri’s Tennis Academy in Florida. What was some of the best advice Nick gave you that has helped you be successful on the tour and since? Nick was incredible. He believed in his tennis students and pumped confidence into us every day. His academy had many top juniors in the country and the competition was fierce. He specifically wanted me to use my speed and be mentally tough. His advice was for me to “give it 100%, never quit and outlast your opponent.” When did you decide to teach tennis, and how did you get your first teaching job? After close to ten years on the tour and two right knee operations, I decided top competition was in my past. My good friend, Richard Centerbar, at Boca Grove Country Club, helped me study, pass my USPTA and get my first tennis lessons under my belt. I worked for Richard at his club for a couple of years until my husband Jeff and I decided to start a family. I soon started teaching at the club in my neighborhood part-time. This was great, I got to walk to my club and teach many of my friends. Addison Reserve was changing their tennis staff and recruited me to run their tennis program. It was my first real interviewing experience and they had more than 80 applicants. I’m fortunate they chose me. What do you think women bring to the tennis teaching profession that make them a valuable asset to tennis clubs/facilities? I know most South Florida clubs would like women pros but there doesn’t seem to be enough. Women pros are vital and are needed. Ladies teams dominate clubs. Having good women pros always enhances these programs. Women members love taking lessons from women pros. When you applied to become the Director of Tennis, did you have any doubts about taking on the role? If so, how did you get beyond them? Of course, I had doubts because I’d be taking on a role with many new responsibilities. I had to quickly learn administrative, computer and management skills. I asked a lot of questions and relied on the club management team to go over every detail that was necessary. I wasn’t afraid of learning and improving on the job. Teaching tennis was the easy part. What do you enjoy most about being Head Tennis Pro at your club? I really enjoy my relationships with my fellow staff and members. I like teaching my members and watching their improvement. They know they are reaching another level and this is very satisfying. What challenges you the most about your current position? COVID has given our industry a huge challenge. We needed to keep our members engaged and having fun, with no outside players allowed. We adapted our events and my staff helped keep the energy high. Our members still enjoy everything we do. Another challenge is being flexible and supporting many different personalities and the needs of our members. Listening skills are used every day. Do you still play tennis for fun or competitively? I still play for fun and like being on the court. What advice would you give to other women who may be hesitant to apply for a higher-level position? Women are needed at all clubs. You must believe in yourself, your teaching abilities and always be ready to learn. Don’t be hesitant to ask for advice from more experienced pros. Understand where you could improve, and work on it. And once you earn that new position, you’re learning never ends… run with it. What do you think we as an industry can do to bring more women into those roles? Work with local high school and college tennis programs and encourage interested women to become USPTA-certified as they are getting teaching experience. Always support one another if organizing or playing in fundraisers and pro-ams.

A toddler in Marseilles, France woke up from a medically induced coma just days away from being taken off life support by doctors. In a video posted to Facebook, Marwa Bouchenafa, 1, could be seen wide-awake and smiling as her father repeated her name. Marwa was 10 days away from being taken off life support after doctors put her in a medically induced coma in September when she came down with a virus that was attacking her nervous system. After failing to wake up on her own, physicians told Marwa’s family that the girl’s future looked grim and suggested she be taken off support. Marwa’s family created a Change.org petition and collected more than 124,000 supporters in hopes of the court ruling in their favour to keep their daughter on respiratory assistance, according to Aol.com. Budget issues at the hospital was also cited as a reason for doctors to take Mawra off life support. Court officials granted Mawra two more months of “extension of life” due to the signatures. Ten days later, on Nov. 22, Mawra woke up on her own. It’s not yet known what damage, if any, the virus did to Marwa. Marwa continues to undergo treatment. Follow @alleywilson_

We sawed through plywood and boarded up windows, hoarded water and bought stores out of batteries. We took down flags and porch swings and filled up with gas, hit the road or hunkered down. In short, we all made plans. But the impossibly large Irma, like every hurricane before and all that will come after, did not care about how well-prepared we were. The storm left us powerless before moving on to devastate areas outside its path, that didn’t see what was coming. It first found the Caribbean islands, some losing 90 percent of their buildings, the wind ripping a 2-year-old child from a relative’s arms. He was found dead the next morning. In Jacksonville, the river rushed over the sea wall, the flooding so bad, a cafe owner said, that it looked like the beach had been dumped on the floor. Streets in Charleston, S.C., were underwater, fire hydrants drowned, dumpsters drifting in waves. Technology tells us a hurricane is on its way. But no matter how many times we check the track on our screens, anything can happen. Here’s what did. NATHANIEL LASH | Times Irma: Historic and harrowing Barbados Associated Press As the storm swirled over the Atlantic, hundreds of miles away, a 16-year-old surfer tried to ride the large swells off the island’s east coast. He drowned. Irma claimed its first life without ever setting foot on land. Barbuda The island is 62 square miles. Irma was 378 miles wide when it made landfall. This is where a toddler blew out of a woman’s arms, the hurricane plucking the roof from their home. Churches and schools collapsed. Stray dogs sniffed the colorful wreckage. St. Maarten Getty Images The looters came in Irma’s wake, men in ski masks with shotguns. Doctors ran out of medicine, and everyone ran out of water. A 63-year-old woman waited two hours before giving up on food trucks that never came. The estimate of the dead climbed from four to eight to 11, and Irma kept moving. Anguilla Associated Press Buildings were shattered, people left homeless in the heat. It looked, one survivor said, as though a nuclear bomb had gone off. Virgin Islands Associated Press They took shelter in hotels, using mattresses and chairs to barricade the glass doors. They came home to houses that had disappeared into the ocean. People flashed guns as they cut lines for gasoline. A soldier called it a war zone, eight dead, crews looking for more bodies, hands picking through the wreckage of their lives. Puerto Rico Associated Press Trees danced with power lines, but Irma sailed north. Turks and Caicos Associated Press It came here overnight, eyeing the most populated island, Providenciales. Then Irma erased an entire community. People could feel the drop in pressure in their chests. Survivors waded through waist-high water. Grand Turk was powerless and pitch-black. Cuba Associated Press The hurricane made landfall as a Category 5, refueled from warm water. Winds in excess of 125 mph ripped off roofs and walls, leaving living rooms exposed as if they were television sets. Everything was dirty. And wet. An 89-year-old woman was found floating outside her front door. Another died when a balcony fell on a bus. Ten people lost their lives, seven in Havana. Businessmen pleaded with canceling tourists, saying they were just starting to re-enter the world. The Keys Getty Images Homeowners put couches on countertops before they locked the doors and left. Days later, the eye crossed over. Irma whisked together fishing boats, jacuzzis and washer-dryers, exposing the guts of everyday life in undiscerning piles. A naked man lay dead in the road until a returning Marathon man covered his body with a plastic sail cover. A shredded billboard read, “Come as you are.” Marco Island The New York Times This wealthy little city was silent before the storm, except for the wind smacking palm trees and the police SUVs urging: EVACUATE. Irma arrived as a Category 3, weaker than the worst of the predictions. Men in their early 20s rode it out to see something cool. Their ears popped. A bald eagle’s nest survived. Bonita Springs The New York Times Several days after Irma tore through here, an enclave up the road from marquee neighbor Naples, people turned to canoes and kayaks to reach their houses. Dogs paddled through polluted water while 13 children breathed in carbon-monoxide from a misused generator. The mayor said the flooding would keep coming. Some neighborhoods might never be rebuilt. Immokalee Michael S. Williamson, The Washington Post Irma drowned America’s tomato capital. Polk County Getty Images The hurricane was supposed to hug the west coast — it was coming for us, right? — but it took its deteriorating eye wall and 100 mph winds, and cut inland. At a grove south of Lake Wales, most of the citrus crop was yanked to the ground. A tree smashed into a bedroom in Bartow. Dawn saw magnolias — roots-up — in the road. Disaster crews kept a Waffle House open. Alachua County The Gainesville Sun via Associated Press Irma kept spinning up the state, tropical force winds downing trees and stealing power. Good-looking police officers caused a stir on Facebook. The Santa Fe River spilled onto the road, except this road was I-75, the state’s major artery. Jacksonville Associated Press The St. John’s River rushed over sea walls and sandbags alike, pushing water into places that had not felt its cold touch since 1846, one year after Florida became a state. Emergency crews rescued 356 people. A manager at a car dealership hooked a 3-pound bass, sitting at a gazebo 30 yards from where the water usually ended. He released it in what used to be a park, where children played. Tybee Island, GA Associated Press They call it a “king tide,” when a high tide falls on a full moon. Irma came then. A man’s muscles ached from stuffing sandbags, but it wasn’t enough. Water flowed through his house. He sat in his truck with his dogs at the top of his street, unable to get to the bottom. The island was cut off from mainland Savannah. South Carolina Facebook It washed ashore in 1989 during Hurricane Hugo, an unclaimed sea vessel. For 28 years, the Folly Boat was beached by a state highway, the locals painting it with marriage proposals, graduation announcements, athletic allegiances. And over the weekend, someone painted, “Godspeed Florida,” and “This too shall pass.” On a Monday afternoon, Irma floated it back to sea. •••

Israeli aircraft have struck a major university and other targets in the Gaza Strip as troops continued their military campaign on the Palestinian enclave for a 26th day. A large part of the Islamic University in Gaza City was damaged by Saturday morning’s air strike. Glass from broken windows and notebooks belonging to some of the thousands of students who attended the university were scattered around the premises. No casualties were reported in the strike. "The university is now in complete ruins," Al Jazeera’s Imtiaz Tyab, reporting from the scene just two hours after the bombardment, said. The Israeli army said it targeted a "weapon development" centre in the university. A photo of the Islamic University of Gaza taken just a month before the Israeli assault [university website] In a twitter post, the military said it struck 200 "terror targets" in 24 hours. One of Gaza City's largest mosques, Shifa mosque, was also badly damaged by an Israeli strike. "I spoke to the people who were running this mosque. It took them years to raise money to build it, and within seconds it was just reduced to just rubble," our correspondent said. "Over the past few days we saw that there were no red lines [for Israel]. At least six hospitals have been targeted, UN schools where people were sheltering, have been targeted." The strikes came as Israel pounded the southern Gaza town of Rafah on Saturday and killed 35 people, according to Palestinian health official Ashraf al-Qudra. Heavy shelling and fierce battles were also reported along the border areas in Rafah, the site of the purported capture of an Israeli soldier a day earlier. Israeli forces on Saturday sealed off the eastern Rafah area, and warned that cars on the streets would be considered potential targets, Al Jazeera’s Charles Stratford, reporting from southern Gaza, said. Trading blame The Israeli army said it believed that Second Lieutenant Hadar Goldin, 23, was captured by Hamas in an ambush about an hour after an internationally brokered ceasefire took effect on Friday morning. Israel blamed Hamas for shattering the agreed upon 72-hour humanitarian ceasefire. Hamas, meanwhile, said Israeli troops used the truce deal to storm into Rafah and kill scores of people on Friday. Its military wing on Saturday denied any knowledge about the fate of the missing soldier. At least 107 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire collapsed, according to the health ministry in Gaza. This brings the death toll in Israeli offensive on Gaza, which began on July 8, to at least 1,655 Palestinians, mostly civilians. More than 8,900 others have been reported injured. On the Israeli side, three civilians have been killed by rockets launched from Gaza and at least 63 troops have died in the fighting. Despite the failure of several ceasefire attempts, diplomatic efforts were still ongoing to put an end to the bloodshed. A Palestinian delegation was expected in Cairo on Saturday to discuss the terms of a durable truce. Israel, meanwhile, said it would not be sending envoys as originally planned and accused Hamas of misleading international mediators. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi said the truce plan Egypt proposed last month provided a "real chance" to end the Gaza conflict, stressing the need for its speedy implementation. "Time is decisive, we have to take advantage of it quickly to douse the fire in the [Gaza] Strip... and to stop the bloodshed of Palestinians," he said. The Cairo-proposed plan was backed by Israel, Arab governments, the US and the UN, but brushed off by Hamas. The Palestinian group said any peace proposal must include a demand for Israel to end the blockade on Gaza, imposed since eight years.

A Stroll Through London: Top 10 Southbank Destinations Explore Trips We can’t find a country that matches your search. Please try again. Trips Travel Guides Videos My Plans My Bookings Sign Up Log In Travel Guides Videos Beyond Hollywood Hungerlust Pioneers of love EUROPE / UNITED KINGDOM / ENGLAND / LONDON / Things to Do A Stroll Through London: Top 10 Southbank Destinations Melissa Pearce 9 February 2017 View The South Bank of the River Thames is abundant with cultural and artistic institutions, offering educational and inspirational experiences to visitors and locals of London. Constantly adapting to benefit the public, South Bank is located a stone’s throw across the river from the iconic Houses of Parliament and St Paul’s Cathedral. This bustling part of London is one of the city’s most prominent cultural hotspots. The Old Vic Theatre The Old Vic is a site of extreme historical importance within British theatre and is currently under the artistic direction of Kevin Spacey. Synonymous with historical iconic names in acting such as Laurence Olivier, Judi Dench, Eileen Atkins and Peter O’Toole, it is one of the oldest and most famous artistic institutions in the world. The year 2013 marks the 195th birthday of the theatre, and to commemorate this event organisers are holding a series of tours scattered throughout May to August, during which time the public can learn about the long history of this iconic building. The EDF Energy London Eye Initially planned to commemorate the dawning of a new millennium, the London Eye is a landmark on the banks of the Thames River standing at 135m tall, making it the tallest cantilevered observation wheel in the world. Built over seven years, the design of the structure resembles that of a bicycle wheel and can be seen for miles. The wheel is striking due to its simple aesthetic design and engineering. Once aboard the relatively young structure, passengers of the 32 large glass pods are comfortably and slowly lifted sky-high enabling them to cast their views over the city’s horizon. The Southbank Centre This world-renowned centre for the arts was erected in 1951 to observe the Festival of Britain and is a top location for anything arts-related. The site is home to several important venues holding varying events such as comedy stand-ups, variety shows, musical performances, intellectual and educational programs, and festivals. In addition to managing the Arts Council Collection and helping to curate artistic touring exhibitions across the country, the centre is important as it allows young talents as well as established professionals to display their abilities to a diverse audience. Jubilee Gardens These gardens have seen several changes since their initial construction in 1951, when they held temporary structures to mark the Festival of Britain. Ashamedly, the park became a car park once these buildings were deconstructed, until 1977 when the lot was rejuvenated for the Queen’s Silver Jubilee. Designed by West 8, in recent years the park has seen some surface changes, as the area of Southbank has become increasingly popular. However its main function still lies at serving the needs of the public, by promoting sustainability and providing facilities and community participation schemes at the public’s benefit. BFI Southbank The BFI Southbank is run by the British Film Institute, a charity-run organisation which has been active since its origins in 1933. The charity is responsible for a number of other art and culture institutions across London, and hosts the London Film Festival in addition to the Future Film Festival, and London Lesbian and Gay Film Festival. Neighbour to the London IMAX Cinema, the centre supports UK film and promotes young and emerging talent within the worldwide film industry by hosting a number of annual events including documentary features, film screenings, interviews and previews. Film fanatics will revel within the centre’s cinemas, gallery and film store. Tate Modern The building which now houses the Tate Modern was once the Bankside Power Station, but has been home to the contemporary art gallery since its opening in 2000. Technically speaking Tate Modern exists on Bankside and not South Bank, but this comprehensive list would not be complete without it. The building is vast, and jaws are guaranteed to drop as visitors enter the expanse of the turbine hall. The Tate is predominantly a charity, and focuses on raising funds for various projects. Housing an impressive collection of modern art and regularly changing temporary exhibitions, the Tate Modern is Britain’s national gallery of international modern art. National Theatre The Royal National Theatre is one of the leading theatres in the United Kingdom and took residence within its current location in 1976-1977. In its youth, the company situated itself within the Old Vic, before being relocated. A publicly funded organisation, the large plot is home to three auditoriums which display a variety of different productions from contemporary to classic. In addition to this, the theatre boasts regular exhibitions and music events, as well as organising educational workshops for visitors. Oxo Tower Wharf The landmark building of Oxo Tower Wharf has had a rich history and varying functions since its initial construction in 1930. Today, it is home to retail outlets and eateries, as well as individual designer studios. Located in the three-storey warehouse is the Bargehouse, which displays the work of established artists and newcomers, with regular group shows. In addition, gallery@oxo focuses on the display of designers’ works, often curated by charity organisations. Florence Nightingale Museum The Founder of modern nursing, Florence Nightingale is a historical icon, earning her status during the Crimean War when she helped countless wounded soldiers, and also with her nursing school at St Thomas’ Hospital in London, where the museum is located. This museum outlines her many contributions to nursing, and enables further understanding of her life by giving details of her childhood and later travels. A self-funded organisation, the museum’s research into the history of nursing is extensive. Bernie Spain Gardens A hidden garden of Eden, the Bernie Spain Gardens are tucked away between Gabriel’s Wharf and Oxo Tower Wharf along the South Bank. Regularly hosting local festivals and events, the gardens are particularly notable in the Summer when they contain The Mayor’s Thames Festival and the Coin Street Festival; a one day event exhibiting performances in the visual and performing arts. These range from live music, dance and spoken word to local food and drink stalls. For all information on visiting Southbank London, visit their website.

The Story: Our names are Sarah Kirkham and Anna Warren, and we are the founders of Tactile Craftworks. Our friendship grew quickly after we met. A shared love of working with our hands eventually led us to create things together, and in January of this year we established as an LLC. By the time we first laid eyes on a laser etcher, our products had already begun to take shape, and we were combining our skills and honing our craft to make a coherent look for our goods. The night that we saw the laser cutter for the first time was like magic- it was as if a whole world of possibility opened up. We were giddy thinking of the ways we could use the technology to enhance our craft. The decision to make a map journal was a natural choice for us. We both take pride in our hometowns, in our cities and their history. We designed other products for etching as well- 'The Good Land' series of travel mugs, etched leather clutches- but it became clear right away that the Map Journals were striking a chord with people. The Milwaukee Map Book Our good friends at Discovery World, the ones who introduced us to the laser cutter technology, were invaluable to us. They supported us by teaching us to get the most out of the laser etching, helping us in prototyping our design, and cheering us along. Since we began this project, we've been trading our time for theirs- teaching workshops in their lab in exchange for time using their machines. This relationship gave us the start we needed, but it's clear that we need to expand- it's time for us to purchase a laser cutter of our own. That's where you come in. With the funds we hope to raise from this Kickstarter campaign, we plan to produce our Atlas Series map journals to keep up with the demand that we currently can't meet. How? First of all, we'd like to be able to keep our online store, craft fairs, and Milwaukee vendors fully stocked with the Atlas Series. Secondly, we want to expand the collection beyond our hometowns of Milwaukee and Chicago- and create journals and goods that feature other cities- your pages of the Atlas. The Budget- $12,500 is a lot of money- how will we spend it? $9500 - The laser cutter. This is the meat-and-potatoes part of our campaign- and the main thing we think we need right now to grow our business. This price includes the basic cutter machine, a lens for detailed cutting, a cooling system, a warranty on the cutter, ventilation, and a few other bits we need to get started. We're excited because we've found a laser cutter that's made right here in the USA. $1800 - The materials. This will pay for the leather, paper, sinew, needles, brass studs, jars, cuppows and other bits and pieces that go into making our products. More specifically, the supplies to make the rewards you'll get for supporting our campaign, and the beginning of our retail inventory. $1200 - Fees. This budget line is to pay for the necessary fees and processing charges associated with our Kickstarter campaign. No, it's not the fun part- but we'd be remiss in our planning if we didn't account for this part of the process. More - What if we go over our goal? We will be thrilled if we hit our goal- we can't wait to get started on your Atlas Series items- but what do we have in mind if we go over? First up, graphics software- we'd love to upgrade our software. Secondly, there are some laser cutter upgrades we'd go for- a bigger cutting bed, back up laser tubes, different lenses, etc. If you all are feeling amazingly-above-and-beyond generous, some workshop upgrades (tools and supplies) and staff would be next- there are amazing people who have helped us along the way, and we'd love to be able to pay them for their time and talents. Thank you so much for considering contributing to our campaign. We both know that we wouldn't be where we are today without the support of the amazing people around us. We're excited to take the next step in our business, and we're so grateful that you are here with us. Detail of Chicago Map Book Rewards: You'll notice that some of our rewards come from the Tactile Craftworks collection, our standard line of products. You can see many more images of the items we make at our website www.tactilecraftworks.com, but here are a few images from that collection to give you an idea of what your reward will be.

In a small, frightening room in the psychiatric hospital where my wife had recently incarcerated me, I explained to the staff psychiatrist about Olivier Ameisen and the drug baclofen. Ameisen and I share an American publisher, and my editor, who knew about my battle with the bottle, had sent me an early copy of his book. The psychiatrist surprised me by saying: ‘Let me look into it, but I’m willing to try it.’ He was, he told me, a child psychiatrist, which immediately seemed both inevitable and desirable. I didn’t joke with him about it, however. No joking of any kind with the psychiatrist. He had just told me he thought I could leave in a few days, much sooner than most. I didn’t want to take any chances. Ameisen, a cardiologist, claims there is a pill that cures alcoholism. In The End of My Addiction, he tells the story both of his own plunge through the many circles of alcoholic hell and, by way of research he did on the web, his almost immediate recovery.[*] Like many others, Ameisen argues that addiction to alcohol – what we have come to call alcoholism, since it entered the Western vocabulary in 1852 (in German) as Alkoholismus – is the consequence of sustained self-medication for, generally speaking, anxiety. As Seneca reports, even Cato ‘soothed his mind with wine when it was worn from the cares of state’. On this account, alcohol is like Xanax: Xanax perfected through millennia of human effort and experimentation, and therefore with lots of benefits that Xanax doesn’t have, but also several menacing side-effects that it doesn’t. (Xanax, incidentally, like Klonopin and Ativan and other benzodiazapines, is widely used in the treatment of alcoholism.) The silver bullet Ameisen discovered is a drug called baclofen, which has been used since the 1950s for treating seizure disorders and similar conditions. After failing with rehab, Alcoholics Anonymous, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and all other conventional treatments for alcoholism, finding himself at what AA calls ‘rock bottom’ feeling he had nothing left to lose, Ameisen began doing research on addiction online, and stumbled on baclofen. He was so broke he couldn’t afford to buy the articles (his institutional subscriptions from Cornell and NYU had been cancelled when they fired him), so he made do with the abstracts. Baclofen had been used experimentally to treat alcoholism before, with mixed results, but only in low dosages. Ameisen found a graduate student’s paper which showed that rats addicted to heroin, when treated with very high doses of baclofen, not only lost all signs of addiction but even seemed to display a curious aversion to the drug. Gradually increasing his own dosage, Ameisen worked his way to the levels being used to treat the rats. On day 37, he found, ‘on 270 mg/day of baclofen (3.6mg/kg), I experienced no craving or desire for alcohol for the first time in my alcoholic life. Even in a restaurant with friends, I was indifferent to people drinking … At the end of my ninth month of complete liberation from symptoms of alcohol dependence, I remain indifferent to alcohol. Alcohol thoughts no longer occur.’ Five years later, he is still taking baclofen (now at a much lower dosage), shows no signs of alcohol addiction and claims even to be able to drink an occasional glass of wine without experiencing any subsequent craving. There are two basic theories of addiction: the ‘possession’ theory and the ‘tragic’ theory. Like most alcoholics, I prefer, but am suspicious of, the possession theory. This story goes that the addict is like any other poor Christian, but he’s been taken by the devil. His addiction is not something he could choose (after all, it certainly isn’t something he would choose), and therefore he can’t be blamed for it. Unsurprisingly, some finessing of the notion of blame often takes place here: the possessed addict may have chosen a lifestyle that lends itself to possession – he may have hung around with unsavoury people, made a variety of unwise choices and so on. But the basic point remains: he was taken by his addiction, he didn’t take it. He is a victim. This is Ameisen’s view. The alcoholic has a disease, plain and simple: we should no more blame him for the booze than we would blame Kafka for his tuberculosis. For Ameisen, however, our usual understanding of disease doesn’t apply here. The disease of alcoholism is the product of the symptoms of alcoholism. You eliminate the symptoms and you have cured the disease. As a child I visited my older sister in a psychiatric hospital, but I hadn’t been inside one for 30 years. Then, on 1 January this year, at about 11 o’clock in the evening, my wife found me, feet kicking, dangling from an improvised rope – a twisted yellow sheet – about a metre off the ground in our bedroom closet. Our two-year-old daughter was in the bed, sleeping, just a few feet away. Somehow the proximity of a child to the parent’s suicide, as with Sylvia Plath’s little children in that lonely London flat, increases the suicide’s shame. I was at the end of a binge. I was also at the end of three years of secret drinking, of hiding bottles and sneaking away to bars while my wife thought I was living as I had promised her, as a sober man. When I was released from the hospital I had prescriptions in my pocket for lithium carbonate (bipolar disorder), Lamictal (mood disorder, alcoholism, depression), Klonopin (anxiety) and, in the hopes of a miracle, baclofen. I had never taken a psychiatric drug before. When I collected the pills, I thought: two bottles of red wine a night, or this? How could any rational person – any rational person who doesn’t own stock in a pharmaceutical company – seriously believe that this was climbing the ladder of health? At 6 p.m. the same day I drove to my first AA meeting. I was in such a hurry that in the parking lot outside the church I drove my car into a concrete pylon. The smashed indicator is still there today, 90 days later: like the 90-day AA coin in my wallet, a reminder. Alcoholics Anonymous are the leading champions of the tragic view of addiction. Theirs is also the most popular and most successful treatment for alcoholism. They, too, claim that alcoholism is a disease, but the claim is disingenuous, or at least inaccurate, because AA also insist that the only treatment for the disease is a moral or spiritual one. Every AA meeting opens with a reading, ‘How It Works’, from what is known as ‘The Big Book’. This is a cautionary tale about how it doesn’t work, followed by the method itself, the justly famous 12 Steps. The cautionary tale warns that there are ‘men and women who are constitutionally incapable of being honest with themselves. There are such unfortunates. They are not at fault; they seem to have been born that way. They are naturally incapable of grasping and developing a manner of living which demands rigorous honesty. Their chances are less than average.’ I find it depressing, and telling, that the meetings begin with this little meditation on failure and self-deception. When I first heard these lines, I thought: what if I am lying to myself about the fact that I am capable of being honest with myself? After all, isn’t that precisely how it feels, that at the very moment you think you are being honest with yourself you discover a new layer of your own fraudulence? The problem gets worse still when you have to be honest with others, and particularly when you have to be honest with others about yourself, the source of the problem of dishonesty in the first place. As I looked around the room I thought: yes, I am officially a loser; I am drowned in this understanding. These were people who were living half a life. And that’s guessing on the high side: most of these folks looked as though they were squeezing 10 per cent of the juice from a day. I don’t mean to say that drinking is the other half of life: it’s more fundamental than that. It’s what Nietzsche means when he discusses the ascetic ideals: the ideals of self-denial destroy creativity, power, even sex. These are the ‘last men’, the nihilists, the hopeless ones: Vladimir and Estragon without their sense of irony. They read the 12 Traditions, they say their serenity prayer, they hold hands, they chant in a circle, they ask for the intervention of a Higher Power, while pumping each other’s hands: ‘Keep coming back, it works if you work it!’ They are life’s beaten-down and broken, they are afraid, they settle for less, for as little as you ask, for nothing at all if you insist. Some of the people in this ring of vinyl chairs have 10, 15 years under their belts. You can see it in the greyness of their skin, the glaze in their eyes. ‘Seventeen years.’ ‘And you still come to meetings?’ ‘Of course. Got to preserve my sobriety. Anything you put ahead of your sobriety, you will lose.’ They celebrate their AA birthdays. Thirty days. Sixty days. Ninety days. Six months. A year. Stretching out. In one of his poems – later echoed by Matt Dillon in Drugstore Cowboy – Charles Bukowski complains about the terror behind the thought of tying one’s shoes every morning, of brushing one’s teeth. The AA meeting room in this defeated old church stank of that terror. I took my 24 coin, the red one, plastic, out of my pocket, and looked at it in the palm of my hand. I imagined spinning it playfully on a bar, smiling at the bartender, and ordering my third vodka tonic. On Ameisen’s version of the possession view, there is a complex interaction between muscular tension and psychological anxiety, and while we don’t yet know if one is the cause of the other – he recommends the question be thoroughly studied – baclofen, happily, treats both: it relaxes your muscles and soothes your anxiety. And indeed, once I started taking the drug, I not only lost my craving for alcohol, I soon developed an aversion to the very thought of a drink. The idea of sitting in the sun with a glass of Gevrey-Chambertin turned me off. This from a man who used to own a wine bar. After reading the book and discussing his results with Ameisen, Jean Dausset, the winner of the 1980 Nobel Prize for Medicine, said: ‘Olivier Ameisen has discovered the treatment of addiction.’ There are now many small studies of baclofen and its effects on alcoholism underway, and one hopes that larger, government-sponsored studies will follow. It is estimated that in the UK alone 15,000 people die each year from alcoholism and alcohol-related diseases, at a cost of £25 billion to the health services. The theory behind baclofen’s effectiveness, briefly, is that the drug may increase the amount of the neurotransmitter GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) in the brain. When stimulated, a particular subset of GABA receptors seem to reduce our desire for many addictive substances. Normally these receptors are sufficiently stimulated by naturally produced GHB (the notorious date-rape drug), but GHB is insufficiently produced in the brain of the addict. GHB taken as a supplement has been shown to help with alcoholism; unfortunately, it is highly addictive. Crucially for Ameisen’s hypothesis, alcohol stimulates the same subset of GABA receptors. Baclofen does the same thing as alcohol and GHB, Ameisen proposes, but without the consequences of dependence and other side effects. The demon that drives the alcoholic’s destructive behaviour turns out to be an absence. When the brain is fed the food it needs, the demon flies away. On 200 mg a day of baclofen, in an important meeting with several associate deans of my college and three new department chairs (I was made chair of my philosophy department just a few weeks before I tried to commit suicide), I fell asleep with my head on the conference room table and, for 40 minutes, everyone was too embarrassed to wake me. Somnolence is the most obvious and inconvenient side effect of baclofen. I reduced my dosage to 100 mg a day, and started taking it only at bedtime. A few days later, a colleague asked if I had changed my medicine. ‘Yes,’ I told her. ‘Why do you ask?’ She is German, an analytic philosopher, and therefore very direct: ‘You are drooling less than you were.’ On this reduced dosage, I found that my craving for alcohol, while still significantly reduced, returned. Round about four in the afternoon the thought of a cold beer would start popping up in my brain. Herbert Fingarette, the best contemporary philosopher of self-deception, has also written a book on alcoholism. Heavy Drinking: The Myth of Alcoholism as a Disease (1988) argues the opposite case to Ameisen’s. For Fingarette, the view that alcoholism is a disease that can be cured actually contributes to the addiction, by providing the alcoholic with the false, self-deceptive and self-destructive belief that he cannot control his own drinking. In this short book Fingarette conducts a remarkably comprehensive survey of the literature on alcoholism – something Ameisen doesn’t attempt – to show that no study convincingly demonstrates that alcoholism is anything more than heavy drinking that has become progressively worse. ‘Heavy drinkers’, as Fingarette chooses to put it (for him the word ‘alcoholic’ is both stigmatic and an impediment to recovery), have slowly dug themselves into a pit from which they now may laboriously climb out again, perhaps by quitting entirely, or perhaps by gradually and deliberately moderating their drinking. This was music to my ears when I read it: the notion that I could slowly drink my way back up out of the cave of my worst abuses of the drug not only strongly appealed to my need for alcohol, but also seemed to make practical sense. You don’t ruin a marriage overnight, in most instances, nor do you rebuild one in a day. Baby steps into hell, baby steps back out again. That sort of thinking. Unfortunately, if there is a telltale sign of self-deception it is precisely this: I happily find myself believing precisely what it is I wanted to believe in the first place. The more attractive a belief sounds, the more carefully it ought to be examined. (An interesting counter-example is a case like Othello’s, where the self-deceptive process leads one to believe precisely what one most wants not to believe. Jealousy often works this way.) Contrarily, there is something about the hard work of AA that has the pain of truthfulness about it. As Rilke said to his young poet, if you want to know the right course of action, just ask yourself: what is the hardest thing to do? It’s not a hurricane lantern, but in this dark and windy land, it might be a better candle than most. About 40 days in, I found myself growing more and more depressed. I felt as though there was no corner small enough to hide in, and blamed the Ativan (I had switched from Klonopin to Ativan on the advice of a friend, who similarly found that Klonopin increased his depression). Ill-advisedly, and against my wife’s protests, I quit the benzos cold turkey. ‘I can’t take this chemical-y feeling any more,’ I told her. ‘I want my own brain back.’ Within a few days it was as though I was exploding from the inside, like John Hurt in Alien, except that instead of having one alien embryo about to burst from my chest I had thousands. I was in a state of constant claustrophobic panic and could barely get out of bed. My wife called our family doctor, Dr J., who is also a friend, to ask about my drugs and dosages. She said: ‘At this point, your guess is as good as mine.’ When my wife told me this, I said, dismayed: ‘Well, the difference between Dr J. and my psychiatrist and the other people I’ve seen is that she trusts us enough to tell us the truth.’ So, like Ameisen, I went online. I discovered that diazepam (Valium) is commonly used to treat the effects of Ativan withdrawal; I emailed Dr J. She wrote back: ‘I need to do some research.’ Soon I had a prescription. Within hours of taking my first pill I could breathe again. Now, for me, Valium is what two glasses of wine used to be. I feel as though I stand balanced on this little orange pill, and I count out my five doses of five milligrams each very carefully throughout the day. I even save them up for a five o’clock happy hour when I can, and take two or three between five and seven, when the day is easy. The truth is I am still drinking. I’m just drinking something else, and, you might say, I am drinking with some measure of control. My dosage of Valium is going down rather than up: I was on six a day a couple of weeks ago, and plan to go down to four a day at the end of the month. I don’t mention my Valium at my AA meetings or with my sponsor, not wanting to risk what they might say. Thus goes the life of ‘rigorous honesty’. Nevertheless I have noticed that, somehow, for reasons that remain mysterious to me, the AA meetings are helping. Another philosopher, a friend who knows a lot about self-deception, said to me recently: ‘But isn’t AA just another version of psychoanalysis? Why not just go to a therapist?’ My psychiatrist, who is mildly hostile towards AA, has the same view. I told my friend: ‘You know, when you get your coin every 30 days, they ask you to explain how you did it. When I got my 60-day coin, I said: “I think it was from starting to learn how to listen.” That’s the difference.’ How did I get here? I have been struggling with overdrinking since I was 16, but things turned vicious after my second daughter was born. My wife and I decided we should drink at the weekends only – standard alcoholic strategy – and during an engagement party we held for some friends from her law school I drank several bottles of an excellent Ribera del Duero (the party was Spanish-themed) I had found at a good case-price. I remember eyeing my wife as she sat on our couch next to a handsome young attorney. She was fingering the hair by her ear. I woke up the next morning fully dressed and alone in bed. My right hand – which has two broken fingers from a past drunken effort to punch through a brick wall – was hurting, and my missing wife wasn’t answering her cellphone. The baby was gone too. I walked, still drunk, to the hotel where I knew she would have stayed. In the hotel room I wept and promised I would never have another drink. She wore extra make-up to law school for the next few weeks to hide the bruises to the left side of her face, her jaw, her cheekbone, the skin around her eye. It was the first and last time I have punched a person I love. I tried to quit, failed, tried and failed again, and soon my drinking went underground. At a certain point in this process my wife, who pretended not to know about my secret drinking but must have had some idea (to this day, she insists she really believed I was largely sober; when obviously drunk I would tell her I had taken a large dose of cold medicine), ordered Days of Wine and Roses from Netflix. It came while she was at school, and I watched it that afternoon, lying in bed with a hangover. I put it back in the mail the same day. I couldn’t let her see it. When she asked me about it, saying that our account showed it had been mailed and returned, naturally I lied. Three years of secret drinking continued and finally ended – I hope – with that sheet tied around a pipe in our closet. Alcoholism is so common an addiction that it has its own ism, unlike, say, heroin or cocaine or sex. And although my experiment with baclofen is ongoing, I’m not sure Ameisen has made, as some well-credentialled enthusiasts have exclaimed, ‘the dazzling discovery of a cure that could soon be within reach of all’ (David Servan-Schreiber). I think it is going to take more than a drug to cure me. While this is not as exciting a conclusion as one would like, it seems to me that what I have been calling the tragic and the possession views of addiction can be reconciled with one another – or at least that their solutions are, if you will, two sides of addiction’s algebraic equation. I do believe that baclofen is helping with a chemical imbalance in my brain; that Valium is alleviating my anxiety and satisfying a craving I have for relief at the end of the day; and that AA is holding my hand through the process, helping me to understand the psychology of my addiction, the interactions between plot and character that have put me where I am (yes, as any alcoholic will agree, it is pleasant to be the hero of my own tragedy). There may well be a kind of biofeedback relationship between the neurochemical imbalance in the addictive brain and the kinds of behaviour he or she engages in. I was predisposed to be an alcoholic, but it took years of practice to get really good at it. The crucial, and perhaps most helpful, point of agreement between the tragic and possession theories is that in neither account is addiction understood as a moral failing on the part of the alcoholic. While the AA view seems to smuggle moral blame into its account – the process of recovery is characterised as a moral process – the alcoholic’s problem, even when he relapses, should not be understood in moral terms. The one dominant theme of contemporary literature on the problem of addiction is that the alcoholic, the junkie, the crack addict, must not be accused. How they are to be helped is, as we have seen, a tricky business. But as of this writing, I have not had a drink. My green 90-day coin is in my wallet now, where the first red one-dayer used to be. To be as honest as I know how to be on the subject, I don’t even want a drink. Is it the 100 mg a night of baclofen, the AA, the combined (placebo?) effect of the two? Count each of them on one finger, I guess, and cross the two of them for me.

In District 2, Zapf defeated ex-federal prosecutor Sarah Boot and two other candidates. Zapf had to switch from District 6 after council maps were redrawn a couple of years ago, meaning she picked up around half the votes in a mostly new section of the city. “I definitely feel better than I thought I would, actually,” Zapf said. “I had no idea going into it — it’s a complete unknown.” The district in Ocean Beach, Pacific Beach and Point Loma was vacated by Kevin Faulconer when he became mayor. He was set to be termed-out at the end of this year, anyway. Ed Harris is filling in during the interim and agreed not to run for the seat as a condition of his appointment. In District 6, Cate defeated Kim by around 16 percent but fell short of the threshold needed to avoid a runoff. Former San Diego Unified Trustee Mitz Lee was a distant third. The district includes Clairemont Mesa, Kearny Mesa and Mira Mesa. “We’re happy that the message that we’ve been able to express over the past year has been resonating with voters,” Cate said. Kim told KUSI that she wanted to make sure the needs of the community were being met. “I feel like a lot of times we get overlooked,” Kim said. “Clairemont, Mira Mesa — these are communities with lots and lots of working and middle-class families, and for whatever reason, we actually have some of the worst infrastructure in the city.” She said the roads are “terrible,” the sidewalks are in disrepair and pipes are always breaking, especially in Clairemont. Councilman David Alvarez, who lost to Faulconer in February’s special election, was reelected along with Councilwoman Myrtle Cole. The outcome of the Cate-Kim runoff in November will determine whether or not Democrats on the technically nonpartisan City Council will hold their veto-proof majority. Cate is a Republican and Kim is a Democrat. Six votes are required to override mayoral vetoes, and with Harris in office, the Democrats hold a 6-3 advantage on the council. Whether the margin holds or shrinks below the threshold will impact contentious issues that might arise in the future, although the council members agree with each other and the Republican Faulconer on most issues.

If you didn’t file your tax return in time, you may be feeling scared right now. Don’t get scared. Take action! I’ll help you out by asking you two simple questions: Why did you file for an IRS extension? If you filed the IRS extension simply because you knew you didn’t have time to do it correctly, then you filed for the right reason. If you filed an IRS extension because you knew you were going to owe, then you filed for the wrong reason. An IRS extension is an IRS extension to file. Its not an IRS extension to pay. When you filed for an IRS extension, you should have sent a check for the amount you estimated you would owe. If that number was wrong, you would either have to pay the IRS more money or the IRS would owe you. If you didn’t make a payment before April 15th, you are going to owe penalties and interest now too. Why did you miss the IRS extension deadline? Did you simply just run out of time? If you just need more time to file, just keep working on it. You may owe the Failure to File penalty now but if you get your tax return in soon, you’re probably saving yourself a lot of headaches. If you missed the deadline because you just didn’t know how you would pay your debt, you made the WRONG move! Get your return filed! We can deal with the payment issue later. The IRS is expecting a tax return from you and you don’t file it, you are just waving that giant red flag in their face. If you can’t pay your whole tax debt, send what you can. Then, let’s figure out how you are going to pay the rest. There are a lot of tax programs out there for a lot of different situations. Start researching them. Better yet, consult a tax professional. We can help you figure out the best way to handle your missed IRS extension deadline. Need IRS Help Now?

Dulce R. - Avoid Personal Shopping Scams & Use the Shop Disney Parks Mobile App Instead I ordered from a personal shopper before just because I wanted a Dooney & Bourke Cinderella bag to wear on my next Disney trip. The bag was sold out as they are limited edition and were no longer available on shop Disney. I ordered from a personal shopper that also does shopping blogs and character Warehouse blogs. She seems like a nice lady. She had also suffered from an illness several years ago which also made me more sympathetic towards her. So I purchased the back. The bag was 270 Plus if I'm not mistaken $40 and a tip for the personal shopper which I gave $20. When I received the bag it looked like it was used although the tag was on it. It smelled of cigarettes. The interior of the bag did not look like the standards that Dooney & Bourke go by. It was not high quality. I have several Dooney & Burke and I know that they put extra care in the interior of the bags. This Cinderella bags looks cheaply lined in the interior and it smelled of cigarettes. What a disappointment. I regret making this purchase and I will never purchase anything from a personal shopper again. Lexi - Disney College Program FAQ Hey!

Two of the largest non-profit immigration service groups in the United States will shut down as part of a settlement of a lawsuit that accused them of defrauding thousands of clients, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman said on Monday. The International Professional Association will close immediately and the International Immigrants Foundation within two years, Schneiderman said. Their remaining assets of $2.2 million would be used to provide restitution to clients. Schneiderman’s predecessor, now-Governor Andrew Cuomo, filed a lawsuit in 2010 against the groups and their president, Edward Juarez, who for three decades has been a nationally recognized expert on immigration issues. Cuomo said the groups charged exorbitant fees for services including securing work permits and residency and that their workers falsely claimed to be lawyers. Juarez was accused of using the money to fund a lavish lifestyle and provide jobs for his former wife and children. {snip} The IIF and IPA, according to the suit, advertised their services as being free or inexpensive. But people who signed up had to make monthly payments and pay thousands of dollars in fees for different types of services. Juarez and his workers then gave clients poor advice, including suggesting immigrants enter sham marriages to gain citizenship, or failed to file paperwork properly, according to the suit. {snip} Original Article Share This

Elections in China, Pakistan and the US could prompt more arrests More bloggers than ever face arrest for exposing human rights abuses or criticising governments, says a report. Since 2003, 64 people have been arrested for publishing their views on a blog, says the University of Washington annual report. In 2007 three times as many people were arrested for blogging about political issues than in 2006, it revealed. More than half of all the arrests since 2003 have been made in China, Egypt and Iran, said the report. Jail sentence Citizens have faced arrest and jail for blogging about many different topics, said the World Information Access (WIA) report. Arrested bloggers exposed corruption in government, abuse of human rights or suppression of protests. They criticised public policies and took political figures to task. The report said the rising number of arrests was testament to the "growing" political importance of blogging. It noted that arrests tended to increase during times of "political uncertainty", such as around general elections or during large scale protests. Jail time followed arrest for many bloggers, said the report, which found that the average prison sentence for blogging was 15 months. The longest sentence found by the WIA was eight years. It acknowledged that the true number of bloggers arrested could be far higher than the total it found as, in some cases, it proved hard to verify if an arrest had taken place and on what grounds. For instance, it said the Committee to Protect Bloggers has published information about 344 people arrested in Burma - many of whom are thought to be be bloggers - but the WIA could not verify all the reports. It also noted that many nations, perhaps as many as 30, imposed technological restrictions on what people can do online. In nations such as China this made it difficult for people to use a blog as a means of protest. The report pointed out that it is not just governments in the Middle East and East Asia that have taken steps against those publishing their opinions online. In the last four years, British, French, Canadian and American bloggers have also been arrested. The report predicted that the number of blogger arrests in 2008 would exceed the 36 seen in 2007 thanks to greater popularity of blogging as a medium, greater enforcement of net restrictions, and elections in China, Pakistan, Iran and the US.

Donald Trump Donald John TrumpHouse committee believes it has evidence Trump requested putting ally in charge of Cohen probe: report Vietnamese airline takes steps to open flights to US on sidelines of Trump-Kim summit Manafort's attorneys say he should get less than 10 years in prison MORE on Tuesday said he will appoint Supreme Court justices who oppose abortion but stopped short of saying they would overturn Roe v. Wade. ADVERTISEMENT Pressed by Fox News host Bill O’Reilly on whether his chosen justices would overturn Roe v. Wade, Trump said, “They will be pro-life, and we will see what about overturning.” “But we will appoint — I will appoint — judges that will be pro-life, yes,” the presumptive GOP presidential nominee added. Trump has drawn objections from anti-abortion leaders in the past. In January, a group of them urged voters to support “anyone but Trump.” Trump supported abortion rights in the past, and the groups said he has been inconsistent and unpredictable on the issue. Trump acknowledges his previous support for abortion rights but says he is now opposed. “I have become pro-life,” Trump told Fox News on Tuesday night. “And the reason is, I have seen, in my case one specific situation, but numerous situations that have made me to go that way.” Asked about the “sanctity of human life,” Trump said, “I will protect it and the biggest way you can protect it is through the Supreme Court and putting people in the court.”

Networks can interconnect with other networks and contain subnetworks. Check out more about networks: Network – Computer network LAN – Local Area Network How We Open a Web Page and What is Going on Behind? Routing – Static and Dynamic routes – What is route? Proxy and Reverse Proxy Server If we speak about networks in a matter of distance between nodes, networks can be local area networks or LANs, metropolitan area networks or MANs, and wide area networks or WANs. Most common topologies of networks are bus, star, token ring, and mesh topologies. The type of data transmission technology in use on selected network can also characterize a given network. We will speak mostly about TCP/IP and Ethernet technology. Network will in different situations carry different kinds of data that includes voice, data, or both kinds of signals in the same time. Network can be characterized also by who can use the network (public or private). In some of the writing we will also be talking about the usual nature of network connections like dial-up or switched, dedicated or non-switched, or virtual network connections. The hardware part of the story is looking at the types of physical links that can be for example, optical fiber, coaxial cable, and Unshielded Twisted Pair. Large telephone networks and networks using their infrastructure (like Internet) have sharing and exchange arrangements with other companies so that larger networks are created. A computer network Computer network in these days is often simply referred as Internet. But that is not the real truth. Computer network is a collection of hardware parts and computers at the end that are interconnected by communication channels. With use of these channels, computers can share resources and information. If at least one device is able to send data and another device can receive this same data, then the two devices are connected in a small network. Networks may be classified according to different things such as the medium used to make the channel, communications protocol used to send and receive etc. Communications protocols are the rules that are saying to data what are the next steps in the communication process and in which formats must the data be presented to be able to go across the wire. To make the exchanging of information possible, we need to have. Well-known communications protocols are Ethernet, a hardware and Link Layer standard that is universal in local area networks, and the Internet Protocol Suite, which defines a set of protocols for internetworking. Internetworking is a term that can be used when we need to speak about data communication between multiple networks, as well as host-to-host data transfer, and application-specific data transmission formats.

Two powerful elected officials in northern Virginia are vowing to work together to improve Route 28 for commuters. WASHINGTON — Virginia State Route 28, which stretches 49 miles from Fauquier to Loudoun County, is currently the bane of many morning commuters, but two powerful elected leaders are vowing to make the ride more bearable. Newly-elected Delegate Danica Roem, of Prince William County, met with Fairfax County Board of Supervisors Chairman Sharon Bulova Tuesday to discuss improving the commuter experience on the highway that runs through Fauquier, Prince William, Fairfax and Loudoun counties. “It is absolutely critical that Fairfax County and Prince William County work together on this highway,” Bulova told WTOP. I drove to Fairfax today to discuss fixing Route 28 w/ @SharonBulova & transportation officials. Thank you for hosting, Chairman Bulova! She also introduced me at the supervisors’ legislative cmte meeting. What happens in FFX affects PWC. Working together is vital for our region. — Danica Roem (@pwcdanica) November 28, 2017 Roem’s campaign platform included improving traffic infrastructure, particularly on Route 28. Bulova said Fairfax County is making Route 28 a priority. “We are right now working on plans to widen Route 28, eventually, to six, or maybe eight lanes,” said Bulova. “In Prince William County, they’re looking at widening, and also potential realignment.” Bulova and Roem said the neighboring jurisdictions will need to work together from conception through implementation to make the improvements seamless for commuters. “People don’t know when they’re crossing the boundaries from one jurisdiction to another,” Bulova said. After the meeting in her office, which included the county’s director for the office of transportation, Tom Biesiadny, Bulova said she had never seen an elected official “as focused and knowledgeable” as Roem is, on the subject of Route 28. “She’s intensely interested in funding, and prioritizing funding for Route 28,” said Bulova. Roem also campaigned on coming up with multimodal traffic options along 28, to offer an alternative to private vehicles. WTOP’s Dick Uliano contributed to this report.

Another ancient body has just been recovered from the depths of an Irish bog. This time the remains consist of a partial bog body that appears to have been covered in a leather bag (update: the leather bag may actually be the upper torso). The bog body, which may be the remains of a woman, was found just outside Portlaoise in Cul na Móna bog and is being excavated by archaeologists from The National Museum of Ireland. This latest addition to growing a corpus of Irish bog bodies will hopefully reveal as much information as two recent peat land discoveries. These aforementioned bog bodies, Old Croghan man and Clonycavan man, form the centre piece of the excellent Kingship and Sacrifice display at the National Museum of Ireland. What is striking about these remains is their fantastic state of preservation, something which is characteristic of bog bodies in general. This is primarily due to the cold, acidic, oxygen-free conditions that persist beneath peat bogs and which prevent decay and mummify human flesh. Old Croghan man was found in a bog beneath Croghan Hill in Co. Offaly and based on radiocarbon dating he died sometime between 362 BC and 175 BC . He was extremely tall measuring 6ft 6 in height and had well manicured hands suggesting that he was not used to manual labour. His last meal (analysed from the contents in his stomach) consisted of cereals and milk . However, he was shown to have had a meat rich diet for at least the 4 months prior to this (based on analysis of his nails). Clonycavan man, in contrast, was much smaller in stature, measuring just 5ft 2 in height. He was recovered from a bog in Co. Meath and only his upper torso and head survived. The remains were radiocarbon dated to between 392 BC and 201 BC and, unusually, his hair was spiked with pine resin (a very early form of hair gel). Furthermore, the trees from which the resin was sourced only grow in Spain and south-west France, indicating the presence of long distance trade routes. Both men had been subjected to gruesome deaths, suggesting that they may have been ritually tortured and murdered. Old Croghan man had holes cut in his upper arms through which a rope of hazel withies was threaded in order to restrain him. He was then stabbed, his nipples sliced, before finally being cut in half across his torso. Similar overkill was also seen on the Clonycavan bog body. He had been disembowelled and struck three times across the head with axe and once across the body. This brutality is not confined to Irish bog bodies and has been paralleled on human remains from British and continental bogs. For example, the Lindow man bog body, displayed at London’s British Museum, was struck twice on the head, garroted, and had his throat cut. The reasons behind these bog body killings remains uncertain but Ned Kelly of the National Museum of Ireland has suggested a very interesting theory (see Archaeology, No. 63, Vol 3, May/June 2010) . He believes that “these men were failed kings or failed candidates for kingship who were killed and placed in bogs that formed important tribal boundaries. Both Clonycavan and Old Croghan men’s nipples were pinched and cut. “Sucking a king’s nipples was a gesture of submission in ancient Ireland,” says Kelly. “Cutting them would have made him incapable of kingship.” The bodies served as offerings to the goddess of the land to whom the king was wed in his inauguration ceremony. According to Kelly, both men’s multiple injuries may reflect the belief that the goddess was not only one of the land and fertility, but also of sovereignty, war, and death. “By using a range of methods to kill the victim, the ancient Irish sacrificed to the goddess in all her forms,”. It will be interesting to see if this latest bog body from Co. Laois represents another sacrificial victim to appease these pagan gods. Related Posts Bog butter find from Co.

Earlier this month, Sen. Bernie Sanders spoke at a town hall meeting in Richmond, California, about the many problems confronting America, including big money in politics following the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision. After an hour-long speech, he had the crowd of around 500 on their feet giving the independent senator from Vermont a standing ovation. “Change does not take place easily. Anyone who’s read history understands that before real change takes place, people struggle. They go to jail. They die for that change.” — Sen. Bernie Sanders America’s third largest corporation, Chevron, has pumped $3 million of electoral cash into Richmond (population 107,571), the site of a giant oil refinery owned by — you guessed it — Chevron. Their aim is to defeat the city’s progressive candidates, who have charged the company with damaging Richmond’s economy and environment. Sanders encouraged the crowd to fight against Chevron to ensure other corporations will not “roll over every community in America.” “You’re seeing right here, in this small city, unlimited sums of money from one of the largest corporations in America, who says, ‘How dare you ordinary people – working class people, people of color, young people – how dare you think you have the right to run your city government? Who do you think you are? We’re gonna teach you a lesson, we’re gonna tell you who owns this community, who controls this community,’ and that’s what this fight is about here in Richmond,” he said. Sen. Sanders, a long-time advocate of America’s middle class, also detailed his own progressive agenda, touching on themes including the country’s “starvation” federal minimum wage and “crumbling” infrastructure, as well as the the Supreme Court’s “worst decision” and what he believes is the “greatest crisis happening in America.” Sen. Sanders concluded his speech with this nugget: “Change does not take place easily. Anyone who’s read history understands that before real change takes place, people struggle. They go to jail. They die for that change.” We’ve transcribed Sen. Sanders speech below and for more, watch the preview of his conversation with Bill this week. Transcript of Sen. Bernie Sanders’s Remarks at a Town Meeting on Oct., 16, 2014, in Richmond, California. Organized by the Richmond Progressive Alliance. Sen. Bernie Sanders: Whoa. In case you haven’t noticed, there are a lot of people here. Thank you all very, very much for coming out. And Gayle, thank you for that introduction. And I am here to be as supportive as I can for this ticket that’s going to bring people together, that is going to give Chevron a lesson that they have never, ever got. So with your help on election night, you’re going to have Tom, and Gayle and Jovanka and Eduardo in office to do the right things for this community. Now, I came here tonight for a couple of reasons. First, as Gayle mentioned, I was a former mayor. I served for eight years. We have two-year terms in Burlington. And in that capacity of taking on then the Democratic Party, the Republican Party, the railroad, the state, the utilities, the restaurants, the entire Chamber of Commerce, everybody else, we took them all on. And here are some of the lessons that I learned which I think you know very, very well. Back then, there was a great deal of political alienation. I think it’s worse today. Profound anger and disgust. But this is what happened. And I’m sure that it’s happening. In this turnout tonight tells me it’s happening in Richmond. I ran for office on a plank which said, you know, I am not here to represent the big money interests. I am here to represent the middle class, and working families, and low income people in my community. And we had a plank. And we laid it out. And the members of the city council — I had two supporters on the city council at the time, 11 against me. And at the first meeting, first meeting we had, the majority took away my one appointee. I had to serve my entire first year, the mayor in Burlington is entitled to a city attorney, treasurer, a whole bunch of appointees. They refused to allow me to have my appointees. So I had to run my first year with the group of folks who were loyal to the guy I had beaten in a very contentious election. Try that. Do you know what happened? Because we kept faith with the people, because we did what we promised we would do, two years later we doubled voter turnout. Doubled voter turnout. And low income people, and working class people, middle class people came out in huge numbers. And in my races, I was able to beat Democrats, Republicans, Democrats and Republicans. And at the end, they combined around one candidate. Beat him also. All right? Which always — I never forget that when you’re honest, when you’re willing to fight for working families, when you’re willing to stand up to the powers that be and you keep your word, people will stand with you. And that’s what’s going to happen here in Richmond. The other reason that I am here is not just to applaud Gayle and all of those who have worked with Gayle for their creative solutions to serious problems. I love municipal government. I’ll tell you why. Because at the end of the day, establishing community, bringing people together, creating a sense of place where people feel good about each other, that’s the best that we can do. And that’s what you could do at the local level. And I have been very impressed by everything that I’ve heard about what Gayle and her team has done in trying to improve life for people in Richmond. So I’m really happy to be here and be supportive of that. But the second reason I am here, and I think Jovanka made this point, is that we are facing an enormous crisis in this country. By a five to four vote, the Supreme Court made what I think will go down in history as one of the worst decisions ever made by a Supreme Court in American history. And the result of that decision was to give the Koch brothers, Chevron and the billionaire class and all of corporate America the opportunity to spend unlimited, unlimited sums of money in races for the White House, for the US Senate, the US House, governors’ chairs and even municipal elections like here in Richmond, even school board elections around the country. Apparently for these guys, owning and controlling our economy is not enough. They now want to own and control the government. And we are not going to allow them to do that. Not in Richmond, not anywhere. Now, when you talk about money in politics, the difficulty is trying to explain to ordinary people how much money these guys have. Because it’s really unimaginable. You know, most people think about $100, $1,000, $10,000. Just give you one example. The Koch brothers are the second wealthiest family in America. They are worth something like $85 billion. In one year alone, in the last year, their wealth increased by $12 billion. Now, they are extreme right wing ideologues who increased their wealth in one year by 12 billion. When Obama and Romney ran for president in 2012, both of them spent a little bit more than a billion dollars on their campaign. For the Koch brothers, a billion dollars is like $20 for ordinary Americans. In one year, $12 billion increase in wealth. $85 billion. They could spend $5 billion. It would have no impact on — essential impact — on what they’re worth. So for them, the only question, and it’s hard for people to understand this. The only question is: When does too much become counterproductive? It is not a question of, how much? It’s just, when too much? Because they have literally unlimited sums of money. Now, let me tell you what else these guys want to do. Citizens United was, as I think we all understand, a horrendous decision. That’s not enough for them. And you all have got to understand them. Back in 1980, and I want to get this in a little bit, David Koch, one of the brothers, ran for vice president of the United States on the Libertarian Party. And he helped fund that effort. And they had a party platform that he helped to write. And one of the important provisions in that platform which is now coming into effect unless we stop them is to say, and I quote, this is from his 1980 campaign. “We urge the repeal of federal campaign finance laws and the immediate abolition of the despotic Federal Election Commission.” That position is now the position of the leadership of the National Republican Party. What does that mean in English? Right now, they can spend as much as they want through independent expenditures. Those ads you see on television. Tell somebody to do this, and all that stuff, that’s an independent expenditure. They have to go to a super PAC to fund, ‘Vote yes. Vote for this person or that person.’ This is where they want to go. This is where the Republican Party today wants to go. They want the day when all campaign finance law is repealed so that the Koch brothers could stand in front of a group like this — well, not quite like this. But have their candidates and say, “You want to run for governor of California? I’ve got a $100 million check for you. There’s your speech writer. There’s your media consultant. You work directly for me.” So they want another 100 employees in the US Senate, another 435 in the House, and a big one in the White House. That is their vision of what democracy is about. And on the other side of the equation, they have another vision. Most of us learn that what democracy is about is one person, one vote. And in Vermont, we have what we call town meetings in March. And people come out. Whole town comes out. People argue about the road budget, and the school budget, and this, that and the other thing. Everybody has one vote. What they are now trying to do, the Republican governors and legislatures around this country because they are cowards and they cannot defend their political point of view, is suppress the vote. You would think that somebody who believed in what they stood for — and I’m going to tell you in a moment exactly what they stand for. You would believe that they would have the guts to go out and try to convince people. “This is what I believe. This is what my opponent believes. Vote for me.” That’s called democracy. But they’re cowards. And they hide behind their money. And what they are trying to do right now in many, many states is make it difficult for seniors, for low income people, for people of color, for young people to participate in the political process. They are cowards. Shame on them. Now, before I get into the thrust of my remarks, I want to do something that is done too rarely and the corporate media does not cover. We can all be appalled that billionaires are spending huge sums of money. I think that’s on the surface detrimental to democracy and not what this country is supposed to be about. But it is important to understand why is the Koch family spending — we don’t know exactly because a lot of this money is undisclosed — but we’re guessing $300, $400, $500 million on this election alone. What do they stand for? What do they want? I’m going to tell you what they want. I told you a moment ago that David Koch ran for vice president in 1980. I am going to read some, just some of his platform. And you will be stunned by what I read. But to the very best of my knowledge, while this platform was written 34 years ago, their views have not changed. And they got think tanks all over this country. You name the issue. Tom was talking about veterans’ issues. They got a Koch brothers veterans organization. You talk about health care. They got a health care organization. They got a tax organization. They got an education organization. They are on television every night. This is what the Koch brothers’ platform was in 1980, a platform which has not changed. “We favor —” this is a quote. Exact quotes. “We favor the abolition of Medicare and Medicaid programs.” You all are aware that the Republican House of Representatives last year voted to end Medicare as we know it, to transform it into a voucher system. Which means that if you are old and sick, you’re 75, you come down with cancer, their vision for your health care is a check for $8,000 to go to any private insurance company you want. You are 75, you got cancer, and you got a check for $8,000. Tell me how many days that’s going to keep you in the hospital. That’s right. Maybe hours. Not days. That’s their vision. Medicaid. Huge cuts in Medicaid for low-income people. But that is not enough. The vision of the Koch brothers is to end Medicare and Medicaid and other public health programs entirely. Next point. And I quote: “We favor — this is a quote. “We favor the repeal of the fraudulent, virtually bankrupt and increasingly oppressive Social Security system.” Now, many of us — and I know people in this room work with me, work with your senator Barbara Boxer, and others to say, “We are not going to cut Social Security.” There was a proposal called the so-called chained CPI which would have cut cost of living increases. And we put together senior groups, and veterans groups, and women’s groups, and the trade union movement, people with disabilities. We brought everybody together, formed a caucus in the Congress, and we beat them back. But Koch brothers are now talking about cutting Social Security. They want to eliminate Social Security. “We support repeal of all law which impede the ability of any person to find employment, such as minimum wage laws.” Do you know what that means? Right now — and I think Gayle was talking about this a moment ago — everybody in this room understands that a seven and a quarter federal minimum wage is a starvation wage. And we got to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. There is — we brought forth a bill in the Senate. Didn’t go as far as I would like it to go. It was for $10.10 an hour, which would have lifted over 25 million Americans, given them a pay raise. People who needed it the most. The moms trying to get by on $9 an hour, $9.50 an hour. It would have been good help. We could get virtually no Republican support for that. The Koch brothers’ view is, of course you don’t want to raise the minimum wage. You want to eliminate the concept of the minimum wage. So that in high unemployment areas if you have workers fighting for a few jobs, ‘They’re going to say, I’ve got a job. It pays four bucks an hour. You don’t want it? I got 10 other people who want it.’ They want to eliminate all federal health and safety laws to protect workers on the job. That’s their vision for America. Quote — listen to this. “We support the complete separation of education and state. Government schools lead to the indoctrination of children and interfere with the free choice of individuals.” Do you know what that means in English? The end of public education. So if you are a wealthy person, no problem. You’re going to send your kids to a good private school. But if you are a working class person, you’re a low income person, what are your kids going to have? Nothing. They want to end all federal aid for higher education. Pell grants. They want to end the ability of states to run state colleges and state universities. “We support the abolition of the Environmental Protection Agency.” In other words, their idea of freedom is that a corporation, maybe an Exxon, can dump its crap into the air, get kids sick, pollute our water, pollute our land. And that’s called freedom. And you don’t want to interfere with the freedom of those corporations to destroy our air, land and water, do you? You don’t want to have legislation to protect the health of our kids. That’s their view. Quote — and there are many, many others equally shocking. Here’s one that really gives you the totality of where they are coming from. “We oppose all government welfare, relief projects, and ‘aid to the poor’ programs. All these government programs are privacy-invading, paternalistic, demeaning and inefficient. The proper source of help for such persons is the voluntary efforts of private groups and individuals.” Now, you know what that means? That means unemployment compensation gone, Head Start gone, food stamps gone. You name the federal program. Meals on Wheels gone. And their vision is that you will have a few rich people. And if you’re really nice to them, they may throw you — are you hungry? Well, they may throw you some crumbs or maybe not. But they will control what goes on. And you’re seeing that — you’re seeing a little of that right here in this small city. Unlimited sums of money from one of the largest corporations in America who says, how dare you ordinary people, working class people, people of color, young people — how dare you think you have a right to run your city governm—t? Who do you think you are? We’re going to teach you a lesson. We’re going to tell you who owns this community, who controls this community. And that’s what this fight is about here in Richmond. And you damn well better win that fight. Because whether you know it or not — whether you know it or not, I think Gayle said it, the eyes of the country are on you. And if Chevron can roll over you, they’ll roll over — they and their buddies will roll over every community in America. If you can stand up and beat them with all of their money, you’re going to give hope to people all over America that we can control our destinies. Now, what I want to do for a moment is deal with a subject that is terribly important that we don’t talk about enough. If you would ask me what the great crisis facing America is, the answer is that we don’t discuss the great crises facing America. That’s the great crisis. So what I want to do for a moment — what I want to do for a moment — is do what you don’t see on TV. Just not on TV. You don’t see it in the papers very often. That is I want to tell you in my view fact by fact what in fact is going on in the United States of America. And then I want to tell you what I believe we have to do to turn this country around. Now, we all know that there are a lot of angry people out there. Some of them are slightly misguided and work within the tea party. And they are very angry, but unfortunately they are angry at the wrong people for the wrong reasons. And we’ve got to help them get their thinking together. And there are other people in the Occupy movement who are angry at the right people for the right reasons. But there are a lot of people who are angry. And you know what? The American people should be angry. And I’m going to tell you why they should be angry. And some of them understand it intellectually, but everybody understands it emotionally. I want you to think about what’s gone on in this country for the last 30, 40 years. And what’s gone on is we have seen an explosion of technology. These little things, space age technology, robotics. You know, unbelievable technology. And what’s the result of technology? What technology does is make every worker far more productive than he or she used to be. So if I give you a tool and you are producing 30 percent more than somebody did 10 years ago, what you might logically think is you’re going to be making 30 percent more money or maybe, maybe you’ll be working 30 percent fewer hours. And on that — so let me tell you a funny story on that one, all right? Settle in. This may go on for a while here. When I was a young man in college, this is true. For the young people, you think I’m not telling you the truth, but this is true. They taught courses about what Americans should do with all of the leisure time that they would have as a result of exploding technology. And you’re laughing. In fact, now the courses they teach is how you can survive in a stressed out family when mom and dad are working three jobs. And that is of course the reality of America today. So people are asking themselves. They’re saying, with all of this new technology, with all of this new productivity, with all of this great global economy, and all these trade agreements, how come I am working longer hours for lower wages? How come when I am 55 years of age, I am suddenly getting laid off because I was making too much money and am replaced by a 20-year-old young person? How is that happening? So listen up. And these are the facts that are impacting the reality of the middle class today. Since 1999, the typical — that middle-class family, right in the middle of the economy, half the people above, half the people below — that family has seen its income go down by almost $5,000 after adjusting for inflation. Incredibly, that same family right in the middle of the economy earned almost $500 less last year than it did 25 years ago. So people are saying, what’s going on? I’m working hard. My wife is working hard. We’re working longer hours. And we are worse off as a family than we were 25 years ago. Typical that — again, that median worker right in the middle. That male worker made $780 less last year than he did 41 years ago adjusted for inflation. That typical woman worker earned $1,300 less last year than she did in 2007. In other words, the working class of this country is on the move. The problem is we’re moving in the wrong direction. We’re moving down rather than up. Now, the president gets on the TV and he makes an important point. And it’s a point not to be dismissed. The Republicans dismiss it. And he says correctly, think about where we were six years ago. You think we’re not creating enough jobs today? That’s true. No debate. Six years ago, we were losing 700,000 jobs a month. Six years ago, the financial system of this country and the world was on the verge of collapse. Put your credit card into an ATM, no money might come out. Talk about deficits? We ran up a $1.4 trillion deficit under Bush’s last year. So have we made progress? Yes. Have we made anywhere near the kind of progress we need to address the economic problems facing working people? Absolutely not. Now, when you talk to people — and every poll, no matter what the poll is, who does it, the result is always the same. They say to people, okay, what is the most important issue on your mind? And what people say is: jobs and the economy. Now, you may have read in the paper that according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, unemployment — official unemployment is 5.9 percent. If you include those people who have given up looking for work and those people who are working part time where they want to work full time, do you know what real unemployment in America is? It’s close to 12 percent. Do you know — do you know what youth unemployment is today? It is 20 percent. Do you know — everybody here has heard a lot about Ferguson, Missouri. And we heard about the tragedy of an unarmed black man shot to death. That is a tragedy. But what they forgot to tell you is that African-American youth unemployment in this country is over 30 percent in this country today. And you want to know why people are anxious, why they are upset, why they are stressed out? Half of the families in this country have less than $10,000 in the bank. So you’re getting old. You’re thinking about retirement. How the hell do you retire with less than $10,000 in the bank? You are in a divorce, you are in an automobile injury, you’re a job loss away from financial disaster. When we talk about what’s happening in the middle class today, it’s important to understand — and again, young people may think I’m not telling the truth. But to the young people, I would say “There was once a time in America where you could walk into a department store and you could actually buy products made in the United States of America, not China.” And by and large, those jobs paid good wages. Since 2001 in this country, we have lost 60,000 factories. Sixty thousand factories and millions of decent-paying jobs largely because of a disastrous set of trade policies that said to corporate America, ‘Go to China, go to Mexico, go to Vietnam, and you can bring your products back into this country tariff free.’ And I believe — and having voted against all of those trade agreements, I believe — I believe that if corporate America wants us to buy their products, they damn well should make those products right here in America. Now, in one sentence, a long sentence, but in one sentence, we can see the transformation of the American economy. Thirty years ago, the largest private sector employer in America was General Motors. Strong union, the UAW. Decent wages. Strong health care benefits. Pension benefits. Today, the largest private sector employer in America is? Audience: Walmart. Sen. Bernie Sanders: Exactly. Low wages. Virtually no benefits. Vehemently anti-union. That in one metaphor is the transformation of the American economy. From a company that made real products, paid real wages, to Walmart. And by the way, when we talk about Walmart, you should all know, and I’m sure you’ll be happy to know this, that Walmart is owned by the Walton family, which is the wealthiest family in America. They are struggling with about $148 billion, okay? Trying to get by. It’s tough. Tough. But here is the outrage. The outrage is that because Walmart pays wages which are so low, because Walmart does not provide decent health care to its workers, you end up subsidizing Walmart because a significant number of their people go on food stamps, go onto federally funded housing, going onto Medicaid. So all of us are saying to the Walton family, “You’re the richest family in America. How about paying your workers a living wage? We are tired of your —” now, what’s happening in the country, and this is also just a strange moment. You know, if a tornado goes through a town, you know, and the tornado levels everybody, there’s a certain sense of this is a tragedy. Or a whole town has been hit by a flood, a tsunami, whatever it may be. But as all of you know, there is something else going on in the economy today. The middle class is disappearing. We have more people living in poverty today than almost any time in American history. But there’s another reality. And the other reality is that the wealthiest people and the largest corporations are doing phenomenally well. So it’s not like everybody is in the same boat. People on top are doing phenomenally well at exactly the same time as we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any major country on earth. The rich are doing extraordinarily well at the same time as we have seniors struggling whether or not to pay for their prescription drugs or to pay for their food. In America today, we have more income and wealth inequality than at any time since 1929. And by the way, you all know what happened in 1929. And that’s not an accident. Not an accident. But we have more wealth and income inequality in this country since 1929 and more inequality than any other major country on earth. You know, we all think about our friends over in the United Kingdom. And they got queens, and dukes, and lords, and whatever the hell they got. No one can figure out. But they got all of these guys. And we say, that’s a really class-oriented country. We have more inequality in terms of wealth and income than they have. Today in America, the top one percent own 37 percent of the financial wealth of the country. That’s bad. This is worse. The bottom 60 percent own all of 1.7 percent. You all follow that? Okay. In fact, it gets worse. The top one tenth of one percent own over 23 percent of total wealth. Got that? One tenth of one percent own over 23 percent of the wealth in America. The Walton family, our good friends at Walmart, those generous benefactors, they alone own more wealth than the bottom 40 percent of the American people. One family. Woman in audience: That’s obscene. Sen. Bernie Sanders: It is obscene. It is exactly what it is. Now, that’s wealth. Wealth is what you accumulate in your entire life. In terms of income, which is what we made in the last year, since the Wall Street crash which was caused, as I hope everybody here knows, by the greed, recklessness and illegal behavior of Wall Street. Since that time, listen to this. Ninety-five percent of all new income created in America since 2008 has gone to the top 1 percent. So what that means is that, you know, economists look at growth in the economy. Did the GDP grow by 2 percent, four percent? Was it really good and 6 percent? And that’s important. But in a certain sense, it doesn’t make any difference to the average person if all of the new income associated with that growth goes to the top 1 percent. So the reality is where we are today — and again, this is an issue that we just don’t talk about — television doesn’t talk about it. Just go out. Each family thinks they are the only family struggling. They are not. That is the vast majority of the American people. So where we are today? People on top doing phenomenally well, everybody else hurting. In my city, in my state of Vermont yesterday, I believe, two days ago, in one of our larger towns, teachers went out on strike because the school district wanted to cut their health benefits, something that’s happening all over America. Today in America, the top 25 hedge fund managers, and no one quite knows what a hedge fund manager does. But we do know that these 25 guys, and I suspect they are all guys, made more than $24 billion. That is enough to pay the full salaries for 425,000 public school teachers. What about that for national priorities? Today, corporate profits are at an all-time high, and CEOs earn about 270 times what their employees make, their average employee. Now, many sitting in Washington are going to hear, corporate America. Every — oh God, they are just taxed to the death. They just, it’s unbelievable. Man in audience: Poor babies. Sen. Bernie Sanders: Right, poor babies. Well, you should know, as I’m sure you do, that one out of four corporations pays nothing in federal income tax. And the wealthy and large corporations avoid paying about 100 billion every single year. You know why? Because — that’s right. Chevron, too. Because they stash their money in tax havens like the Cayman Islands or Bermuda. Man in audience: Eliminate tax perks! Sen. Bernie Sanders: All right, so that’s where we are today. Now, what I want to talk about for a moment, and I want to make this as strongly as I can. All of these things that are happening were created by human activities, were created by bad public policy. That’s why we are where we are. Not an accident. This was people — big money interests pushed this agenda. Let me give you a progressive agenda. And I know Gayle and others are fighting for a progressive local agenda. Let me give you an agenda for Washington. First of all, as I mentioned, real unemployment is 12 percent. Youth unemployment 20 percent. What we need to do is pass legislation that pushes a major federal jobs program which rebuilds our crumbling infrastructure. That is roads, and bridges, and rail systems, and water systems and waste-water pipes. When I was mayor of Burlington, we had to work with the state. And the feds helped to come up with $50 million back in the 1980s for a waste-water plant. Very, very expensive. Gayle, would a little federal money help rebuilding your infrastructure here? All right. And when we do that let me give you an example. The American Society of Civil Engineers — it’s a very sexy title. But these guys analyze the state of our infrastructure. And they say we need to put $3 trillion into rebuilding our infrastructure. Now, interestingly enough, $3 trillion is just about what we spent on the war in Iraq, a war we should never have gotten into in the first place. If we are conservative and just take — and I would go further than this. But you take $1 trillion. You can have a profound impact in improving the infrastructure of America. And you can put 13 million Americans back to work at decent wages, which is exactly what we have to do. And not only do we talk about the economy and jobs. Not only, of course, do we have to raise the minimum wage to a living wage. We have to make sure in this country that equal work gets equal pay, that women do not get paid 77 cents on the dollar compared to men. And very significantly, again, it’s an issue that is not discussed. Really, you can — raise your hands if anybody here has seen a television program dealing with our trade policy and the impact. Have anyone ever see a program? Now, it is — as I mentioned a moment ago, we’ve lost 60,000 factories in the last 14, 15 years. You think maybe we should be talking about it. But what we have got to do is end these disastrous trade policies. Corporate America has got to invest back in this country. But obviously a progressive agenda has got to go further than that. We are living in a highly competitive global economy. And if this country is to succeed economically, we have got to have the best educated workforce in the world. And here is a depressing fact. This is a depressing fact. Thirty years ago, this nation led the world in terms of the percentage of our people who graduated college. We were number one. Today, we are number twelve. Before I came in here, I was talking to a couple of women who I think are here. And one was teaching at a local college. And we were talking about the fact that not so many years ago, I don’t know, 25, 30 years ago, the University of California, one of the great university systems in the world, was tuition free. Some of you may have read that one of the states in Germany became the last state to abolish tuition in Germany. We had the ambassador from Denmark visiting us in Vermont not this summer but the summer before talking about how kids in Denmark go to college, graduate school and medical school. You know how much it costs them? Woman in audience: Nothing. Sen. Bernie Sanders: That’s right. Zero. So maybe, just maybe if we want to have the kind of economy we need, decent jobs, decent wages, maybe we should learn something from Germany and Denmark and make sure that every young person in this country could go to college regardless of his or her income. Couple of months ago in Vermont, we had a meeting on student indebtedness. And I talked to a young woman whose crime was that she went to medical school and is now doing an excellent job practicing primary health care in a community health center. She came out of medical school $300,000 in debt. All right. Right now, we have young people paying 5, 6, 8 percent on their interest rates. We have parents paying even more, again, for the crime of wanting to see their kids get a decent education. During the Wall Street bailout period, I managed to get an amendment passed in the Dodd-Frank financial bill. And the amendment for the first time allowed for an audit of the Federal Reserve during the financial crisis. And you know what we learned? This is what we learned. During that crisis period through a revolving loan fund, the Fed lent out $16 trillion to virtually every financial institution in America, central banks all over the world, large corporations at interest rates of zero or one-half of 1 percent. Now, if you could bail out Wall Street and give them Fed money at one-half of 1 percent, maybe we could do the same for the young people going to college. And while we’re at it, when we talk about young people and when we understand that we have the highest rate of childhood poverty of any major country on earth. Almost 1 out of 5 of our kids lives in poverty. I want you to think for a moment. You’re a mom, maybe a single mom, and you’re going to work. You’re trying your hardest to bring up your kid well. What happens to the kid when you’re at work? Can you find good quality, affordable childcare? And the answer in Vermont and the answer in California is you can’t. So we have got to create an understanding that the most important years of a human being’s life are zero to three. That’s what all the studies tell us. And we need hundreds of thousands of well-educated, well-trained, well-paid child care workers to make sure that our kids get off with a good start in life. Let me say about a word that is dear to my heart because I’ve worked very, very hard on this. When we talk about what the Koch brothers want, what their vision of America is about, what it is about is a world in which we have repealed virtually every piece of legislation passed since the 1930s, where a handful of billionaire families control the economy and they will dole it out to people as they choose. And always at the top of the list of programs they want to eliminate is Social Security. And you know why they want to eliminate Social Security? Because Social Security is the most successful federal program in the modern history of America. That’s why they want to eliminate it. So for years now, you turn on the TV, and they have these guys getting up there and saying, well, we need entitlement reform. Have you ever heard that phrase? Audience: Yeah. Sen. Bernie Sanders: Do you know what they are talking about? When they talk about entitlement reform, they are too cowardly to tell you what they really are talking about. What they are talking about is cuts in Social Security and in Medicare. And here is the big lie: “Well, we’ve got to cut Social Security because it’s going broke.” So let me tell you the truth. Social Security isn’t going broke. There’s $2.5 trillion in the trust fund. Not going broke. Social Security could pay out every benefit owed to every eligible American for the next 19 years. And if you want to extend Social Security for decades more, you know what you do? You lift the cap. So that somebody who’s making a million or five million does not continue paying the same into the fund as somebody making 117. Now, some nice things on this issue have been happening. What is happening now is more and more people are saying, not only are we not going to cut Social Security. We’re going to expand Social Security benefits. And that’s the right answer. This morning in San Francisco, I had the opportunity of meeting with and marching with the United Nurses of America. And what they understand as well as an increasing number of doctors, mostly primary care physicians, is they as nurses, as doctors, cannot do their job under the current dysfunctional health care system. The Affordable Care Act has done some good things. We got about 10 million more people who have insurance. That’s good. We’ve done away with pre-existing conditions, et cetera. Some good things. But what we have got to recognize and I hope all of you know that today the United States of America is the only major country on earth that does not guarantee health care to all people as a right of citizenship. And I remind you, and I believe this from the bottom of my heart. We have got to move toward a Medicare-for-all single-payer system. All of you should know that a health care system designed to maximize profits for the drug companies and the insurance companies is a system which distorts medical and health care needs in this country. We should be spending more on disease prevention. We should make prescription drugs affordable for all of our people. We should greatly expand the number of primary care doctors and nurses that we have so that if anybody gets ill, they walk into a doctor and they get what they need to get better. Just want to — and you’ve been very patient — I just want to make a few other remarks. I’m on — in addition to being chairman of the veterans committee and as — Tom indicated, we work very, very hard. Did something very unusual in Washington these days. We actually passed legislation. Among other things, we got $5 billion in aid to bring in doctors, nurses and other health care professionals. But I also sit on both the energy committee and the environmental committee, which is chaired, by the way, by Barbara Boxer, who does a very, very good job. Barbara and I have worked together on many, many issues. And one of the issues we understand because we see the scientists coming before us. We see the best scientists not only in America but all over the world. And what they tell us is climate change is real, climate change is caused significantly by human activity and emission of carbon, climate change in California, Vermont, all over this world is already causing devastating problems, and if we do not get our act together, those problems will only become worse in terms of drought, which you are experiencing, flooding, rising sea levels, extreme weather disturbances, which hit my state a few years ago. So if we have any concern for our kids and our grandchildren, we have the moral responsibility to stand up to the fossil fuel industry, transform our energy system and move to energy efficiency and sustainable energy. We can do that. We can do that. If this country had the political will to say that we’re going to lead the world, we could do that. And that’s what we got to do. Now, let me conclude by telling you what my wife tells me. My wife says, “You know, Bernie, whenever you speak, people get totally depressed. I’m going to hand out tranquilizers for suicide prevention efforts.” And she made me end this speech in a different way. And this is what she said. And she’s absolutely right. “You know, change does not take place easily. Anyone who’s read history understands that before real change takes place, people struggle. They go to jail. They die for that change. It doesn’t happen easily.” And I want to remind everybody because it’s very easy for us to forget. Very easy. As human beings, I guess we just forget very easily about how change comes about. If we were sitting in this room 30 years ago and somebody said, “You know, I think that in 2008, America will overcome its racism, its longstanding racism, and elect an African-American president, and re-elect him four years ago,” people would say, “You’re crazy. That can’t happen.” And you know what happened? The American people over — I’m not saying racism doesn’t — is not there. It certainly is. But this country has advanced in a significant way. It was able to elect a person based on his views and not the color of his skin. That is a huge step forward. And we should be very proud of that. I’ll give you another example. Again, we take these things for granted. Thirty years ago, we’re sitting in this room. You look at the United States Senate. If my memory is correct, there were two members of the United States Senate who were women. Two. Today, the number is 20. And in 15, 20 years, half or more of the Senate will be women. And what we’re seeing in Richmond — here is the important point. Back in the ’80s when I was mayor of Burlington, I did something extremely radical. We appointed the first woman to the Burlington Police Department. Oh, how radical can you be? And you are laughing. Because now, you know, in Washington with the capital police, I don’t know, 30, 40 percent of the women — of the police are women. We have women generals in the military, and so forth, and so on. And here is the very good part. Gayle is your mayor today. And what people talk about is what she is doing. It is not a big deal that she’s a woman. And that is where we want to be. We want to vote for people based on their abilities and not on their gender. New Hampshire is across the Connecticut River from me. They have two — their governor is a woman. Their two House members are women. Two senators are women. And you know what’s interesting about it? It’s not a big deal. People argue about how good or bad they are doing. And that’s where we want to be as a country. I’ll give you another example. When I was growing up, if a kid with disabilities was born, Down syndrome or whatever, it was often the embarrassment and shame in that family. Children with disabilities at a very young age were institutionalized. Kids were hidden. And think how far we have come to embrace people with disabilities. They are part of our community. We love them. We respect them. They are mainstream in our schools. We have come a huge way in embracing people with disabilities, a very significant change. And last but certainly not least, if we were sitting here not 30 years ago but 10 years ago and somebody here were to say, you know, I think in 10 years, you’re going to have conservative states voting or allowing gay marriage, you would have thought that person was really crazy. And I will tell you from a personal experience. Vermont was the first state in the country to pass civil unions. Not gay marriage. Civil unions, okay? And I remember that during that period, a lot of hostility and bitterness. No ifs and buts about it. A bunch of years later, Vermont became the first state in the country without a court order to pass gay marriage. Nobody noticed. Not a big deal. And when I talk to young people in my state, I go to a lot of the high schools in my state. I go to some of the conservative areas of the state. And I say to kids, well, I want you to raise your hand if you think that you support gay marriage. And the kids kind of look at you like, duh. Now, their grandparents look at it differently. But, you know, that’s why the Republicans have given up and backed off their homophobia. Because it’s a losing issue. But again, on all of these issues — the civil rights struggle, how many people died? How many people went to jail? The struggle for women’s rights, women died, went to jail. Male allies stood with them. Disability rights. Gay rights. Nothing happened easily. It never does. And where we are right now is at a unique moment. We should be proud. Sometimes we don’t slap ourselves on the back enough. We should be proud of the very profound changes we have made to make this society a less discriminatory society. Real change. And many of you over your lifetimes were engaged in those struggles in one way or another. But today — that’s right. Give yourself a hand because you did it. But today, we are engaged in another struggle in an area where we have not made progress and in fact where we have lost ground. And that is the economic struggle. We have lost ground. And the danger right now — and I use these words advisedly. Sometimes people think I’ve overly dramatic, but I am not. I worry very much that if present trends continue, we will see this become an oligarchic form of society and not a democratic form of society. The Chevrons of the world, the Koch brothers, and the others, they are very religious people. Their religion is greed. And they are prepared to step on anybody and everybody who gets in their way. So my message to all of you is that in this profoundly important moment in America history where the billionaire class wants it all, that for the sake not only of us but more importantly for our kids and our grandchildren — I have seven beautiful grandchildren. For them, and all of your kids, and your grandchildren, we have got to fight back tooth and nail. We cannot allow them to take over Richmond. We cannot allow them to take over America. And if we do our job, and if we knock on doors, and talk to our neighbors, we are going to beat them. And that’s what we’ve got to do. Thank you all very, very much.

When D.C. Democrats lose [T]here is a path for Democrats to get heard. [...] Democrats will make progress when they wake up every day focused on the issues most central to the struggling middle class. In order to be heard, Democrats must [u]nderstand that the main economic issue is the future of the middle class. —Democracy Corps. Stan Greenberg and James Carville are pretty sharp D.C. political operators. And indeed what they say above seems not only obvious, but unassailable. What is interesting though is how they translate, in part, the above into political action: Show serious concern with the pervasive debt at the heart of the crisis and commit to a progressive program of reduced personal and public debt, from helping homeowners to achieving long-term deficit reduction. [Emphasis added.] The highlighted portion of the quote has been the received wisdom of D.C. Democratss since President Obama took office. Indeed, the president said, in his 2010 State of The Union Address: I know that some in my own party will argue that we can’t address the deficit or freeze government spending when so many are still hurting. And I agree — which is why this freeze won’t take effect until next year when the economy is stronger. That’s how budgeting works. But understand if we don’t take meaningful steps to rein in our debt, it could damage our markets, increase the cost of borrowing, and jeopardize our recovery -– all of which would have an even worse effect on our job growth and family incomes. I understood the political reasons why the president said what he said—he could point to polls showing the American people care about deficits. There was no policy reason for it. It was, at best, meaningless from a policy point of view—nothing a Congress does today will bind future Congresses; at worst, it was bad policy in that it called for Austerity Now! when what was needed was much larger government action on the economy. No doubt the president was presented poll findings like those Carville and Greenberg point to in calling emphasis on "achieving long term deficit reduction." No doubt the 60 Democrats who signed the letter to the Super Committee calling for a "Grand Bargain" have been shown similar poll findings. The problem of course is if asked if they care about deficits, everyone will say they do. But it is a meaningless poll finding. No one actually does care about the deficit. No one will vote on the deficit. What they care about is, yes, jobs. While the Democracy Corps' "closed ended" poll questions (PDF) show a mishmash of utterly contradictory responses, common sense and history tell us what people want—jobs and a better economy. Since the debt ceiling debacle, President Obama has, in his words, demonstrated that he understands the political imperative. He no longer is in search of the approbation of The Washington Post and David Brooks. In terms of policy, there is of course nothing he can do with a GOP House and a Beltway-centric Senate. Unfortunately, the president has not persuaded the rest of the D.C. Democrats to follow his lead. They still live inside the Beltway bubble—a bubble whose interests lay with the 1 percent, not the 99 percent. Because of this, it remains imperative that the Occupy Movement pressure the D.C. Democratic Party to do what is actually in their best political interest—fight for jobs, the middle class and the 99 percent. In 2006, a similar phenomena was seen—where the D.C. Democrats, led by Rahm Emanuel, did not want to run against the Iraq Debacle, instead wanting to focus on Jack Abramoff and other political minutia. The anti-Iraq Debacle movement forced their hands to some extent and Democrats won a landslide, despite the D.C. Democratic braintrust. If D.C. Democrats insist on playing the "inside game," a game the president has clearly rejected at this point, there seems a good chance that many will be, like in the political cartoon that illustrates this post, seeking new employment after the next election. And yet, it does not have to be that way. Consider the Democratic Party's history. In 1932, FDR ran on a platform that promised to cut federal spending and balance the budget. Of course FDR did neither in his first term. In his book The Democratic Party, Peter Ling describes a likely apocryphal conversation between FDR political lieutenant James Farley and FDR: Legend has it that en route to Pittsburgh in 1936, FDR discovered that his speech was supposed to show how he fulfilled his 1932 election pledges given there, notably to balance the budget and cut the federal government. Having patently done neither, he turned to Farley asking "what do I do?" Aware of the public's shallow memory, Farley replied, "deny you ever said it or that you were ever in Pittsburgh." FDR did not precisely do that, but he did harken to other things he said in 1932, like his Oglethorpe University speech: I believe that we are at the threshold of a fundamental change in our popular economic thought, that in the future we are going to think less about the producer and more about the consumer. Do what we may have to do to inject life into our ailing economic order, we cannot make it endure for long unless we can bring about a wiser, more equitable distribution of the national income. [...] The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it: If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. The millions who are in want will not stand by silently forever while the things to satisfy their needs are within easy reach. That spirit was reflected in FDR's 1936 nomination acceptance speech: For too many of us the political equality we once had won was meaningless in the face of economic inequality. A small group had concentrated into their own hands an almost complete control over other people's property, other people's money, other people's labor - other people's lives. For too many of us life was no longer free; liberty no longer real; men could no longer follow the pursuit of happiness. Against economic tyranny such as this, the American citizen could appeal only to the organized power of government. The collapse of 1929 showed up the despotism for what it was. The election of 1932 was the people's mandate to end it. Under that mandate it is being ended. The royalists of the economic order have conceded that political freedom was the business of the government, but they have maintained that economic slavery was nobody's business. They granted that the government could protect the citizen in his right to vote, but they denied that the government could do anything to protect the citizen in his right to work and his right to live. Today we stand committed to the proposition that freedom is no half-and-half affair. If the average citizen is guaranteed equal opportunity in the polling place, he must have equal opportunity in the market place. These economic royalists complain that we seek to overthrow the institutions of America. What they really complain of is that we seek to take away their power. Our allegiance to American institutions requires the overthrow of this kind of power. In vain they seek to hide behind the flag and the Constitution. In their blindness they forget what the flag and the Constitution stand for. Now, as always, they stand for democracy, not tyranny; for freedom, not subjection; and against a dictatorship by mob rule and the over-privileged alike. [...] We are poor indeed if this nation cannot afford to lift from every recess of American life the dread fear of the unemployed that they are not needed in the world. We cannot afford to accumulate a deficit in the books of human fortitude. In the place of the palace of privilege we seek to build a temple out of faith and hope and charity. And of course, in the famous "I welcome their hatred speech": In the 1936 election, FDR won 61 percent of the vote and 46 of 48 states. The Democrats won 7 Senate seats to hold 76 of 92 occupied seats. They won 12 House seats to hold 334 of 425 House seats. FDR and the Democrats had not balanced the budget, reduced the deficit or the size of the federal government. The opposite in fact. I'm sure polling would have shown the American people in favor of all that then too. But what they cared about was jobs. And that's what they care about now. If D.C. Democrats don't know that by now, when will they? When they are voted out?

Obama Says James Clapper 'Should Have Been More Careful' In How He Lied To Congress from the ridiculous dept “I think that Jim Clapper himself would acknowledge, and has acknowledged, that he should have been more careful about how he responded,” Obama told CNN’s Jake Tapper. “His concern was that he had a classified program that he couldn't talk about and he was in an open hearing in which he was asked, he was prompted to disclose a program, and so he felt that he was caught between a rock and a hard place.” Many of us are still quite disappointed that James Clapper has kept his job as Director of National Intelligence after flat out lying to Congress over whether or not the NSA spied on Americans. There have been increasing calls from within Congress to have Clapper investigated and possibly prosecuted for the felony of lying to Congress, but there appears to be no movement there at all. Not only does the Obama administration seem to want to protect one of their own, but it's also made it clear that something like that would make it look like Ed Snowden "won" and they can't allow that sort of thing.CNN's Jake Tapper finally got President Obama to "address" the issue in an interview, and the best that Obama could muster was that Clapper "should have been more careful" in how he lied to Congress I'm wondering if anyone else charged with a felony for lying to Congress will now be able to use that excuse: yes, yes, they should have been more careful in how they lied to Congress.As for the "rock and a hard place" claim, that's also simply untrue. Clapper knew full well the question was coming and also knew full well that he could easily respond by saying a variety of things, such as "I can only fully answer that question in a closed hearing." Clapper knows he can do this because he's done it many times before. In fact, he did it just this week when asked another question by Senator Wyden about the NSA's activities. He specifically said that he was uncomfortable discussing such details in an open hearing but would be happy to discuss them during a closed session. And, in fact, Clapper had done similar things in previous sessions, as is clear from the correspondences between him and Wyden that pre-dated the hearing where he lied.For example, take a look at a letter Clapper sent in 2011 to Senator Ron Wyden, in which he states: "the questions you pose on geolocational information are difficult to answer in an unclassified letter." He was able to do that in 2011 and no parade of horribles followed. It did not reveal any "sources and methods" of classified intelligence. He easily could have done the same thing in 2013 when asked.There was no rock. There was no hard place. Clapper didn't need to "be more careful." He lied. Which is a felony. And the President is excusing it because he doesn't want Snowden to "win." Filed Under: barack obama, felony, james clapper, lying to congress, nsa, ron wyden, surveillance

While watching tiny flies in tropical forests in Brazil, Giar-Ann Kung puzzledly remarked to Brian Brown "they are cutting the ant heads off!" This unexpected find led to the discovery of a grisly new type of behavior reported this month in Biodiversity Data Journal. In the world of small insects, there is an astonishing variety of bizarre behaviors, but one of the most extreme is that of the ant decapitating flies of the family Phoridae. These tiny (1 to 3 mm long) flies inject their eggs into the bodies of ants, where after hatching the resulting larvae feed inside the host ant's head, eventually causing it to fall off. Such ant decapitating flies have been known for over 100 years, but recently scientists from the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County have discovered a second, completely different type of ant decapitation in the Phoridae. This new discovery involves a group of flies in a genus called Dohrniphora, best known as scavengers, because of one widespread, human associated species that is common in cities around the world. Another group of species native to South and Central America, however, do something different. Adult female flies are attracted to injured trap-jaw ants, from which they industriously sever the gut, nerve cord, and other connections of the head to the rest of the body. After working on it for a few minutes with their blade tipped mouthparts, the flies use their front legs to grab onto the ant head and tug until it pops off. The fly then drags the ant head off across the forest floor to a secluded spot where it either feeds on the head contents or lays an egg nearby. The researchers were stunned the first time they saw this intricate headhunting behavior. Lead author, Dr. Brian V. Brown, says they were watching for another type of fly when these Dohrniphora turned up. At first, they were uninterested in these "scavengers," but after Kung's remark they watched, amazed, as the flies performed an intricate decapitation behavior, and then set off across the forest floor dragging their headhunting trophies. In their paper, Brown, Kung, and co-author Wendy Porras document this ant -- fly interaction with both photos and videos. Phorid flies are among the most biologically diverse families of insects, but the lifestyles of most are completely unknown. Nevertheless, as Brown quips, "you would think one type of ant decapitation would be enough for the family!"

Latin NCAP latest results: Seat tops twice while new Aveo shows slight improvement 12.04.2018 The seventh and last round of results of the year of the New Car Assessment Programme for Latin America and the Caribbean, Latin NCAP, was released today with two top results for Seat Ibiza and Arona while Chevrolet’s New Aveo shows robust child occupant protection but only two stars for adults. The Chevrolet New Aveo, produced in China, achieved two stars for Adult Occupant Protection and four stars for Child Occupant Protection. The New Aveo with standard frontal double airbags offers good protection for head and neck of adults and weak protection for driver chest in frontal impact and marginal to good protection in the side impact even without side airbags. Latin NCAP hopes that Chevrolet bring more robust performances in order to avoid borderline cases in terms of adult occupant protection. This model offers standard Seat Belt Reminder (SBR) only for driver side but it does not meet Latin NCAP requirements related to loudness of audio warning signal in some of its versions. Being SBR critical to improve the rate of seatbelt use in Latin America, and being the seatbelt the main restraint system in the car, its relevance it translated in the scoring structure. SBR performance explains the low score in adult occupant protection. Chevrolet is working to improve the SBR and Latin NCAP will report back as soon as this is done in all New Aveo in production. It was also a surprise that the New Aveo showed asymmetry in the structural construction as driver side showed reinforcements for frontal crash that were missing in the passenger side. The Child Occupant Protection in front and side impact was fair to good which together with ISOFIX standard and properly marked as well as having almost all CRS passing the installation test made the New Aveo achieve a robust four stars result. Both results show a clear improvement from the previous version of the Aveo which production was stopped at the end of 2017. Latin NCAP encourages Chevrolet to keep improving their products to soon offer five star protection as standard as they do in the US market. The Seat Ibiza, produced in Spain, achieved five stars for Adult Occupant Protection and five stars for Child Occupant Protection. The Seat Ibiza, with 6 airbags as standard, showed good protection for adult in frontal and side impact while it met the requirements in side pole impact of full head protection. The child occupants also received fair to good protection in front and side impact. The Ibiza’s Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is standard and performed according to requirements of Latin NCAP. The five stars for adult and child occupant protection is valid for units from the VIN VSSZZZKJZKR021211 production as from September 2018. The Seat Arona, produced in Spain, achieved five stars for Adult Occupant Protection and five stars for Child Occupant Protection. The Seat Arona is the same car as the Ibiza with slight safety related differences such as ride height (higher suspension setup) and higher roof clearance. For this reason, Latin NCAP performed the frontal crash test and ESC test also for the Arona, while the data of the side impact and pole side impact tests were considered those from the Ibiza. The Ibiza has a worse case scenario for side impact protection as seating height is lower than in the Arona and having both cars the same side impact structure the Ibiza results were valid also for the Arona. The same considerations were valid for side pole impact test. Arona showed good protection for adult in frontal impact and ESC performance. The child occupants also received fair to good protection in frontal impact. The Arona’s ESC is standard and performed according to requirements of Latin NCAP. The Arona offers standard 6 airbags and ESC with five stars for adult and child occupant protection as from the VIN VSSZZZKJZKR021211 production as from September 2018. Alejandro Furas, Secretary General of Latin NCAP said: “It is very positive to close 2018 with these results, with manufactures like Seat offering five stars products to consumers. Chevrolet’s improvements in the new Aveo are clear however, it would be good to find robust improvements beyond the basic requirements. It is encouraging to see how car manufacturers respond to market’s reaction. We hope to see soon the new Aveo with improved standard safety like side body and side curtain airbags as well as ESC standard like the one they do offer in the US market for all their customers no matter the price or model range. Independent information to consumers has become a very powerful and efficient tool that is already pushing Latin American market to safer cars. Governments should offer incentives, encourage and promote mandatory rating for all cars sold in their markets. Governments should encourage and create incentives to cars with active safety technologies like ESC and AEB systems in order to shift the safety levels of new cars sold in the region and to line up with global requirements”. Ricardo Morales, Latin NCAP Chairman of the Board of Directors said: "Latin NCAP closes 2018 with a total of 4 new models that obtained the highest rating of five stars for both adults and children and with only 3 models that obtained zero or one star results for an adult occupants. We believe that while some manufacturers are willing to show consumers how well they can perform in Latin NCAP tests, others continue to offer levels of safety and equipment in our region below of what they offer in mature economies markets. Governments should assume their commitment and accompany the changes that are happening thanks to consumers by encouraging more cars on the market to be evaluated by Latin NCAP, to accelerate the way towards safer vehicles and thus save lives and reduce injuries in Latin America and the Caribbean region".

Latin NCAP replicates similar consumer testing programmes developed over the last thirty years in North America, Europe, Asia and Australia, and which have proved to be very effective in improving the safety of motor vehicles. Since 2010 Latin NCAP has published the results of more than eighty cars in eight test phases. Latin NCAP acknowledges the support received by the Global New Car Assessment Programme (Global NCAP), International Consumer Research and Testing (ICRT), FIA Foundation, the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) and Bloomberg Philanthropies Global Road Safety Initiative.

For much of Friday evening, CNN viewers could witness various on-air personalities of the news network put in the awkward position of trying to repeatedly argue that the Hillary Clinton campaign of 2008 had nothing to do with promoting anti-Obama birther conspiracy theories, even while news was breaking that accused close Clinton confidant and advisor Sidney Blumenthal of personally trying to push birtherism into the media during Clinton's campaign against Barack Obama in 2008. Even though CNN anchor Jake Tapper informed viewers of the development shortly after 4:00 p.m. ET, for the rest of the evening, several other CNN anchors tried to discuss the issue of whether the Clinton campaign was linked to birtherism without mentioning the very relevant breaking news unless forced to, usually by right-leaning CNN commentators. CNN Tonight host Don Lemon even tried to claim that the story was "not true," apparently simply because Blumenthal by that point had denied the charge. At 4:06 p.m., while hosting The Lead, CNN anchor Jake Tapper informed viewers: One new bit of information in this developing story, while there remains no evidence that Clinton or anyone on her campaign pushed the birther lie, this afternoon a former Washington bureau chief of McClatchy, Jim Asher, tweeted that longtime Clinton friend Sidney Blumenthal pushed the "Obama was born in Kenya" lie to him. A top 2008 Clinton campaign source tells me that Blumenthal was not officially on the campaign, but Blumenthal is certainly an ally of the Clintons. Neither Blumenthal nor the Clinton campaign responded to a request for comment about Asher's tweets. In the next hour, as he hosted The Situation Room, Wolf Blitzer repeatedly challenged Republican Rep. Sean Duffy when the Wisconsin congressman tried to link birtherism to the 2008 Clinton campaign. Blitzer focused on a 2008 Clinton campaign volunteer in Iowa who was fired for pushing birtherism, as if it constituted the only relevant allegation on the subject. Even though Blumenthal was not a paid part of the Clinton campaign, if he made efforts to boost Clinton by trying to tear down her opponent, such activities would still be part of the Clinton team effort. But Blitzer did not mention the story, at one point going back and forth with Rep. Duffy: WOLF BLITZER: There's no evidence at all that Hillary Clinton ever raised the birth place of then-Senator Barack Obama. REP. SEAN DUFFY (R-WI): No, but her team did. And, frankly, if it's someone who has a position that could actually be fired- BLITZER: But the team didn't. There was one volunteer in Iowa who was fired for him doing that, but there was never any team effort, if you will, to smear the Democratic presidential candidate. It was not until after 6:00 p.m. ET, during the second hour of The Situation Room, that the show finally acknowledged the Blumenthal story as correspondent Phil Mattingly appeared: Another issue that has popped up today. The former McClatchy Washington bureau chief tweeted out, saying that Sidney Blumenthal -- obviously a close associate of the Clintons -- had pitched this theory to him during that campaign. Sidney Blumenthal just responded to my colleague who follows Hillary Clinton, saying that is completely untrue. But it's worth noting Sidney Blumenthal did not have an official role on Hillary Clinton's 2008 campaign. What we know, the reality of this issue is this: Hillary Clinton and her campaign -- at least those paid by her campaign -- never pushed this claim and is certainly not the people that originated this claim. Earlier in the day, on his 1:00 p.m. ET Wolf show, Blitzer had notably interviewed 2008 Clinton campaign manager Patti Solis Doyle, who gave viewers her version of the story about the Iowa volunteer being fired. CNN's Tom Foreman also notably in the same hour ran a report in which he denied that there was evidence Clinton or her campaign had ever promoted birtherism. Returning to the evening, on Erin Burnett OutFront, CNN political commentator John Avlon -- speaking as an authority who had looked into the issue -- also did not mention the Blumenthal factor as he recalled what he had discovered about Clinton supporters from 2008 not officially working on her campaign who pushed birtherism by filing a lawsuit in Texas. It was not until a bit later when conservative CNN political commentator Kayleigh McEnany brought up Blumenthal that host Burnett finally addressed the issue, as she noted that CNN was trying to confirm the story. Substitute host John Berman similarly addressed the issue during Anderson Cooper 360 after conservative CNN political commentator and NewsBusters contributor Jeffrey Lord injected the Blumenthal story into the conversation. But when Don Lemon came along on CNN Tonight, he actually pronounced the Blumenthal story to be "not true" after conservative CNN political commentator Corey Lewandowski brought it up at 9:22 p.m. ET. After claiming, "Corey, that is not true," he then changed his assessment to "no definitive proof" as he added: Okay, so CNN reached out to Blumenthal, who told our person who reached out, "This is false. Period. Donald Trump cannot distract from the fact that he is the one who embraced and promoted the birther lie and bears the responsibility for it." There is no -- there is no definitive proof -- hold on, Corey -- there's no definitive proof of what you're saying about Blumenthal. Below are transcripts of relevant portions of The Lead with Jake Tapper, The Situation Room, Erin Burnett OutFront, and CNN Tonight, from Friday, September 16:

Please enable Javascript to watch this video ATHENS, Ala. - Each school day around 3:00 in the afternoon, the McDonald's on Highway 31 in Athens locks the doors to their lobby. “My son had come in and said a while ago, McDonald’s was closed everyday from 3-4 p.m.," said Michael Sales, a concerned Athens High parent. They lock the doors, not because of a lack of business, but because of some business they want no part of. “Because of a fight, no students were allowed on the grounds of McDonald’s and no one was allowed to even go inside. Inside was closed, you had to use drive-thru only," said Sales. Athens Police Chief Floyd Johnson confirmed, McDonald's has had problems with the high school students for months now. So much so, he's sent on-duty officers through the restaurant a few times, and said McDonald's even hired an off-duty officer to patrol the parking lot for a few weeks. Sales acknowledged some of those students were likely not paying customers, and causing problems. “A lot of students use it for a pickup," he said. But he stressed, not all of the students are disruptive. “Some students even go there to use the wi-fi, the free internet because they don’t have any at home," explained Sales. He says a big reason why students flock to the "Golden Arches", is because Athens City Schools is one of the few districts in the area that doesn't offer school bus services for high schoolers. “After school there’s a long line here in the car line," said Sales. Athens City Schools sent us a statement saying, "The school's principal made an announcement and said it's not a child care service. If you want to eat that's fine, but not to just hang out." While Sales understands McDonald's has a business to run, he doesn't think it's fair for all customers to pay the price. “I feel like other citizens of Athens should be able to use McDonald’s at any time," said Sales. A representative for Athens City Schools tells us the high school has reached out to the manager of McDonald's, in an effort to see if the restaurant is still having issues. Both WHNT News 19 and Michael Sales attempted to contact McDonald's corporate office Thursday, but so far, they haven't replied to our questions.

We are one of only two universities in South Carolina to have achieved this recognition. A team of more than 30 students, faculty and staff worked together last fall to educate students and to turn out the vote for the mid-term elections. It took a concerted and coordinated effort from a dedicated and talented group, and I want to thank everyone who had a role in this important initiative. We now have a strong foundation for the future, and look forward to South Carolina’s prominent role in the 2020 presidential election. Please read more about the Voter Friendly Campus designation and Winthrop’s efforts in the press release below. Sincerely, Dan Winthrop Earns Second Voter Friendly Campus Designation ROCK HILL, SOUTH CAROLINA – Winthrop University recently earned the designation “Voter Friendly Campus” from the national nonpartisan organizations Campus Vote Project (CVP) and NASPA – Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education for its efforts in educating and encouraging students to vote in the 2018 mid-term election. The mission of the Voter Friendly Campus designation is to bolster efforts that help students overcome barriers to participating in the political process. Winthrop was evaluated based on a campus plan about how the university would engage student voters, how it facilitated voter engagement efforts on the campus and a final analysis of the institution’s efforts. Winthrop President Dan Mahony said that providing opportunities for students to learn about local, state and federal government elections are crucial to helping them become informed citizens. “This is the second time Winthrop has received this designation in the past two years. I am proud of the collaboration that took place across the campus in encouraging voting, discussing current issues of the day and bringing candidates to campus,” he said. The 123 institutions designated Voter Friendly Campuses in 2019 represent a wide range of two-year, four-year, public, private, rural and urban campuses, with a total enrollment of nearly 1.4 million students. Winthrop is one of only two South Carolina universities that received the designation. A coalition of more than 30 students, staff and faculty was led in the fall by Karen Kedrowski, former executive director of the Center for Civic Learning, and Bethany Marlowe, assistant vice president for student affairs and dean of students. Student Voting Ambassadors registered more than 300 students and handed out nearly 500 “check your voter registration” cards and 250 flyers describing absentee voting. Campus clubs, organizations and academic departments held more than 30 election-related events with a total attendance of more than 2,000 students. In 2014, about one in five Winthrop students cast ballots (19.9 percent) and 58 percent voted in the 2016 presidential election. Marlowe said preliminary voter turnout statistics point to increased voter turnout at Winthrop. Nationally, voter turnout in 2018, including young voters, reached historic highs for a midterm election, rivaling turnout for a presidential election. “We remain hopeful that Winthrop achieved its goal of 25 percent student voter turnout,” she added. Winthrop has participated in the National Study of Learning, Voting and Engagement project since 2012 and is among more than 1,000 institutions to participate. Project researchers match student enrollment data with each state’s voting records. Earlier efforts have resulted in the university being designated in 2017 as a Voter Friendly Campus, one of only two in the state and 83 in the nation. NASPA is the leading association for the advancement, health and sustainability of the student affairs profession. Its work provides high-quality professional development, advocacy and research for 15,000 members in all 50 states, 25 countries and eight U.S. territories. The Fair Elections Legal Network (FELN) is a national, nonpartisan election reform organization working to remove barriers to registration and voting for traditionally underrepresented constituencies and improve election administration. FELN’s Campus Vote Project (CVP) works with universities, community colleges, faculty, students and election officials to reduce barriers to student voting and helps campuses institutionalize reforms that empower students with the information they need to register and vote.

Sky Blue FC President & General Manager Tony Novo and newly promoted head coach Christy Holly. Holly Worked as Assistant for Club Over Past Three Seasons Morristown, N.J. (Wednesday, Jan. 13, 2016) – Sky Blue FC of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) officially announced on Wednesday that it has promoted Christy Holly to the position of head coach. A native of Ireland, Holly takes over as Sky Blue FC head coach after spending the past three years as a top assistant for the club. “We are thrilled to announce the promotion of Christy Holly to head coach of Sky Blue FC,” stated team co-owner Steven Temares. “Christy’s character, leadership and experience with our team and the league, together with his inter-personal skills and training capabilities, make him the right coach for Sky Blue FC.” Holly brings over 16 years of coaching experience to his new position as head coach of Sky Blue FC, spanning across various levels in both the United States and his native Ireland. Prior to serving as an assistant coach for Sky Blue FC, he served for two years as an assistant at Georgian Court University (Lakewood, N.J.), as well as previously coaching in the same capacity for the Sky Blue FC Reserve Team. The Derry native has a longstanding reputation as a great talent evaluator and game strategist, and his involvement with Sky Blue FC since the foundation of the NWSL has thoroughly prepared him for this promotion. “I am excited to lead this exceptional group of players, on and off the field,” Holly remarked. “Through my years with Sky Blue FC, I have come to know our current players and the amazing talent and heart they possess. As a team, we will be looking to build on this tremendous foundation and supplement it with new talent to help us reach the next level. “ In addition to his coaching background, Holly earned his Bachelors Degree in Sports Science with Honors in Sports Psychology. He also worked previously as a coach and evaluator for the Bayern Munich National ID program, which is run in conjunction with Global Premier Soccer (GPS). Additionally, he played collegiately for John Moores University in Liverpool before joining the professional ranks with Limavady United in the top-level Irish Premier Division. “As a team, we know we can, and will, provide the level of play and success that our fans yearn for and deserve,” Holly continued. “I could not ask for a better group of players, and I know all who watch Sky Blue FC will always leave impressed with our style of play and inspired by our hard work and commitment. That is my promise, and that is what I will bring as coach to our players, our amazing fans and the entire Sky Blue FC family.” Sky Blue FC President & General Manager Tony Novo also expressed his enthusiasm in the promotion of Holly. “Christy Holly has truly earned this promotion with our club,” Novo stated. “Over the past three seasons, he has shown a tremendous dedication to Sky Blue FC, and he has always brought great energy and passion to everything he does. Christy has continually elevated himself both as a coach and a communicator, and we are beyond excited to enter this next chapter with him as our head coach.” As previously announced, Holly has also assumed player personnel responsibilities and will serve as the chief league liaison for the club when the 2016 NWSL Draft takes place this Friday in Baltimore. 2016 season tickets for Sky Blue FC are now on sale!

Some Of My Cancer Photos | Jo Hilder Skip to content Menu Navigation Home About Blog Fast Read Fiction Bookshop Podcasts Music Sister Jo Bangles Contact Home About Blog Fast Read Fiction Bookshop Podcasts Music Sister Jo Bangles Contact Jo Hilder The Illuminati of the Post-Menopausal Some Of My Cancer Photos Posted on January 8, 2011 by Jo Hilder Yesterday, as I was editing my blog on my 2011 Bucket List, I was looking at the photos I have on file of when I had cancer. I haven’t got many scanned in, just a few, but in the next few weeks I think I might dig some more out. I thought perhaps you might like to see some of them. This is me having my second chemotherapy, I think my first week back from Sydney. This day, I lost it about half an our before this pic was taken. I was in such a hysterical state, Vanessa, my chemo nurse, told me a few years later “You know, when you first came in, I thought you were going to be one of the ones who didn’t make it.” I wasn’t strong, I wasn’t brave and I wasn’t ‘battling cancer’. I was scared shitless and had no idea what was going to happen to me. This photo reminds me that no matter what someone with cancer looks like on the outside, it’s got nothing to do with whats’ happening inside. This picture was taken a few days after the last one. This is the night my hair fell out. We were sitting there watching TV when I put my hand to my head and out came a huge clump of my hair. The kids and I and Ben just sat there looking at each other. To try and lighten the situation, I pulled it out in handfuls and we made moustaches out of it. I have another photo not scanned in with all of us with a moustache like this one. After about 30 minutes of this hilarious fun, and it was, Ben and I slipped out to the garage and he shaved the rest off. This is a promotional shot I had taken to put up on my website at the time. I was selling a range of patchwork and stitching patterns and needed a picture for my site. I look well, don’t I! What a fetching hat. I was pretty much done with chemo at this stage I think and about to go away for radiotherapy. This is me and some of the friends who made me the quilt you see in front of me. This quilt is my most treasured material possession and still hangs on my wall today. If the house catches fire, this baby comes out with the kids, the dog and my laptop. Husband fends for himself. This quilt was puked on, cried into, wrapped around me as I slept alone in the hostel while I was away for two months in Sydney having radiotherapy, as well as pawed at and paraded to all and sundry everywhere I went. This quilt is love with mitred corners. I have others, but they’re packed away. I’ll try and get them out in the months to come, especially as the book progresses toward being finished.
