Forgiveness isn’t about letting someone off the hook for something, it’s about letting go of the chains that bind YOU to that action, or even to them.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean you’re okay with what someone has done or said. It means you make the choice to accept that it was theirs to do or to say.
Forgiveness sometimes isn’t just something you do for others, but also for yourself. Sometimes it’s even you yourself that you need to forgive.
Regardless to whom it is, it could be you, a friend, a stranger, a family member, or even God or whatever greater power you believe in. The importance isn’t the whom it’s the choice of taking the action to forgive.
When you hang on to hurt and anger caused by yourself or someone else, you continue to allow that to be attached to your life. Let go, forgive, make peace with yourself and anyone else you need to. If you afford forgiveness to someone else and they don’t accept it, then it is theirs to carry, as they made the choice not to accept what you’ve offered. Once you offered, you have freed yourself, what someone else does with it is up to them. Anger eats away at a person. It attracts more yuck to ones life as well. Forgive, mean it, and let it go. I know that sounds like it’s so simple, well that’s because it is that simple. AGAIN, this doesn’t mean you agree with with any of what needs forgiving, it means you accept it. There is a HUGE difference. Acceptance is the key, just as much as forgiveness is. The doors they unlock are ones worth opening.
Don’t forgive because someone said it’s the right thing to do…forgive because it’s the RIGHT thing for YOU!!! | 2019-04-26T08:47:24 | http://peggykanhai.org/2014/03/ |

All service members would receive at least 12 weeks of paid leave to care for a new child under a bill introduced in the House.
The Military Parental Leave Modernization Act would ensure that new dads receive 12 weeks of paid paternity leave, equal to the three months that female service members now receive for maternity leave. The bill also would give a minimum of 12 weeks’ paid leave to adoptive parents. In dual-military families, both service member parents would be able to take the 12 weeks leave under H.R. 4796.
The legislation, introduced by Rep. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., aims to consolidate the military’s “disparate and confusing parental leave policies into a single policy that is both consistent and equitable for all parents while also helping improve military readiness and workforce competitiveness,” said a statement from Duckworth’s office.
Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced in January that the department would provide 12 weeks of maternity leave for female service members. The Pentagon has broad discretion over determining the amount of maternity leave for female service members because giving birth is considered part of convalescent leave. Before Carter’s announcement, most female service members received six weeks of maternity leave (though the Navy received 18 weeks).
Duckworth’s bill goes far beyond some of Carter’s other proposals. The Pentagon chief recommended increasing paternity leave for male service members from 10 to 14 days, as well as expanding leave to care for an adopted child to the second parent in dual-military marriages (there are 84,000 military-to-military marriages). Currently the department provides three weeks of paid leave to one parent to care for a new adopted child. Carter’s proposal would provide two weeks of such leave to the second parent if that second parent is also in the military.
Congress, however, has to approve any changes to paid leave outside of maternity leave.
Other family-friendly Defense proposals that don’t require legislative change include a pilot program allowing service members to freeze their eggs and sperm, preserving the option to start a family later on if they choose.
On the civilian side, Democratic lawmakers for nearly two decades have tried unsuccessfully to pass legislation granting that benefit to civilian federal employees to care for a new child. President Obama has endorsed the idea in his last two budgets and through an executive action, in which he directed agencies to advance federal employees up to six weeks of paid sick leave to care for a new child or ill family member. Right now, the 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act provides up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to most government and private sector workers for the birth or adoption of a child, or to care for seriously ill family members. Federal employees who give birth or adopt can tap their accrued sick and annual leave to avoid three months without a paycheck, but many bristle at having to use hard-earned leave when paid parental leave is becoming more prevalent in the private sector. | 2019-04-19T19:15:55 | https://www.govexec.com/pay-benefits/2016/03/bill-would-grant-12-weeks-paid-leave-all-military-parents/126861/?oref=relatedstories |
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — Thousands of poisonous toads are swarming a Palm Beach Gardens community, and it's leaving neighbors concerned.
Jennie Quasha, who lives in the Mirabella neighborhood, sent WPTV photos showing hundreds upon hundreds of amphibians clogging people's pools, patios, and even spread out all over the street.
"I just see a massive amount of toads or frogs everywhere, covering every square inch," said Quasha. "You can't even walk through the grass without stepping on one."
Neighbors said they have no idea why the sudden outbreak happened, but it started about a week ago.
Quasha said she contacted her community's homeowner's association, which told her these are poisonous bufo toads, which can pose a dangerous and deadly threat to pets and children, according to experts.
"I'm worried about people's pets, so there's definitely no swimming in the pool or playing outside and enjoying the outdoors," said Quasha.
WPTV spoke to Toad Busters, a poisonous toad removal service in South Florida, which confirmed these are bufo/cane toads.
"With the warmer winter and then we had a rain two to three weeks ago, a torrential rain, that caused them to go into a breeding cycle," said Mark Holladay, a lead technician with Toad Busters. "They’re not safe for pets or children. If a pet was to ingest too many of them, even at that small size, it would cause a problem."
"There will be another influx like this in 22 days when the next batch hatches out, and this is in every community in Florida," said Holladay.
Quasha said her HOA told her it's the responsibility of homeowners to remove the toads.
"I would like someone to come out who can really identify the species and talk to the neighbors and see what's going on," said Quasha. "I want some type of solid answer and hopefully a solution, and if it's just nature and they go away, that would be wonderful too." | 2019-04-20T21:03:19 | https://www.wptv.com/news/region-n-palm-beach-county/palm-beach-gardens/palm-beach-gardens-community-concerned-over-outbreak-of-toads |

Andy Murray doesn't think Sophia will want to play tennis | HELLO!
Andy Murray has admitted that he doesn't think his baby daughter Sophia will be following in his footsteps as a tennis player. The champion tennis player revealed that he gave the 16-month-old a miniature tennis racket as a gift, and the toddler promptly put it in the bin! Chatting to Eurosport, Andy said: "I think she kind of recognises me when I'm on the TV. I have a video on my phone where I have a little mini racket which I tried to give to her and she literally grabbed it, kind of looked at it and just walked over and put it straight in the bin. So I'm not sure she's going to be into it so much. But it's great my family's here."
The proud dad has previously revealed how difficult it is to be away from Sophia while on tour. "At the beginning it was tough and then start to get used to it more," he said during a visit to Nick Snaith's Magic in the Morning radio show. "I've just come back from a four-week trip and she started walking when I was away. And now she's starting to say a few worlds and that's hard as well when you miss big milestones. All she wants to do when I Facetime is hit the red button."
Andy shares Sophia with his wife, Kim Sears. The pair welcomed their baby girl in February last years – just days after Andy flew back to Britain following his defeat to Novak Djokovic in the Australian Open. Kim recently attended the French Open in Paris to support her husband on Thursday. The mum-of-one sat in the players' box and cheered on Andy during his defeat against Martin Klizan. | 2019-04-22T22:44:58 | https://www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/2017060639526/andy-murray-daughter-sophia-not-a-tennis-player/ |

The other day on social media someone asked about the difference between the words тайна and секрет, both of which mean, in part, “secret.” I thought: Oh! What a great question! The difference is actually quite simple… well, one is native Russian and one is borrowed from … um… somewhere, though originally, um, from the Latin… but of course there is a distinction… mutter, mutter… sound of dictionaries being pulled off shelves and frantic flipping of pages.
What a perfect way to spend a snowy evening!
Indeed, тайна is the native Russian word and had a few meanings way back in the mists of time. It seems to have been connected with the notion of hiding and with the notion of stealing and crooks. Keep that second meaning in mind, since we’ll get back to it in a few paragraphs.
Now the word тайна has two related meanings: something mysterious and unknowable and something known but hidden.
Секрет, on the other hand, is a foreign import. It appeared during the time of Peter the Great either from Polish or French, but ultimately from the Latin secretus. While it can mean something mysterious — секрет его успеха (secret of his success) — most of the time it’s not the unknowable but the hidden.
Russian language learners complain about prepositions. I heard you. | 2019-04-22T10:17:36 | https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2019/02/01/the-secret-of-russian-mysteries-a64370 |

If equals to "infinite", it will run until SIP call is destroyed. The "repeat" and "minInterval" parameters can not be set at the same time.
If value equals to "$rand_from_options;" - call is made to one of randomly selected destinations in "option" children XML elements (see example), and it sets CallXML variable "destinationResourceId". It is possible to limit number of concurrent calls per each "option" in list ("destination resource") and to build different call scenarios for different "destination resource".
If value equals to "$seq_sip_uri_from_csv(CSV_file_name[, optional csvLineStartIndex]);" - destination is read from CSV file, starting from specified zero-based line index (zero line index by default).

<requestdb command="exec SaveCallerId '$callerId;', 'Test', 'Test'"
connection="Data Source=(local);User ID=sa;Password=123456;Initial Catalog=DtmfTest;Asynchronous Processing=true"
<requestdb command="select InfoMessage from Table1 where PinCode = '$enteredNumber;'"
connection="Data Source=(local)\SQLEXPRESS;User ID=sa;Password=123;Initial Catalog=db1;Asynchronous Processing=true"

transport (optional) - explicitly set SIP transport: "udp", "tcp" or "tls", default is "udp"
TEST PACKET WITH SPOOFED (FAKE) SOURCE IP ADDRESS!!!
NOT TO BE USED BY HACKERS!!!
FOR PENETRATION SIP TESTS ONLY!!!!!
wg67_pttType (optional) - PTT-type field, defined in INTEROPERABILITY STANDARDS FOR VOIP ATM COMPONENTS VOLUME 1: RADIO. If wg67_pttType is set to "rxptt", it gets PTT-type from received RTP stream, in other words it creates PTT-type RX-TX loopback connection. This loopback connection is used to measure round-trip RTP audio delay for ED-137 performance testing of air traffic management (ATM) VoIP networks.
setwebapiresult Passes key-value result to web API "CreateCall_Post"
value (required) - type and (optionally) subtype of event, separated by ":"
If value equals to "$ext(100);" - call is forwarded to a registered extension (UAS registration) with SIP ID = "100".
terminators (required if 'value' attribute is not set) - identifiers of terminators, separated by semicolons, used for Softswitch scripts. Terminators are configured via web interface. If 'terminators' is set to 'all', all available terminators are used; if set to 'routed' - the terminators are taken from settings of originator and routing group. If attribute 'dontProxyCallfailure' is set, CallXML flow goes to next element after "transfer" in case of call failure or unavailable terminators.
mode (optional, default is "bridged") - list of call transfer modes, separated by semicolon. If "terminators" attribute is set, default mode is taken from the terminator.
sendSdpInInitialInvite (optional, "true" or "false", default is "true") - specifies whether to send SDP in SIP INVITE message. If no SDP is sent in request, and if destination also does not send SDP in response, the SIP call will be established without RTP media.
codec (optional, "G711A"/"G711U"/"G723"/"G729", default is "any of supported") - RTP media codec (SDP media stream payload type) to be used for the SIP call.
simulateFasAfterConnection (optional, "true" or "false", default is "false") - is used in combination with element "wait" after "transfer". When the attribute is set, the "transfer" continues to next CallXML element after successful call. In this way you can simulate FAS / extra billing after connection. The attribute must be used for testing purposes only, not for live traffic to generate fraud.
verifyaudio Verifies RTP audio stream of current SIP call, compares it with one or many reference audio files. Identifies matched reference file along with either a confidence score, or audio quality measurement (PESQ MOS). Also, measures the delay between the start of audio verification and the occurrence of the matched audio file.
For offline mode: records audio signal into memory during "maxtime" regardless of reference file length. After that, passes the recording to audio verification threads and returns control after verification.
For real-time mode: verifies audio immediately, returns control when "waitConfidenceThreshold" is exceeded or when timeout is expired.
The known ("reference") audio fragment could be located in middle of a longer IVR prompt.
reference (required) - absolute or relative reference audio file names or URLs, separated by ";"
waitConfidenceThreshold (optional, 1-100) - Setting this value enables real-time audio verification. To enable real-time audio verification set this value to a number between 1 and 100. In real-time audio verification mode, the audio stream is verified for a match to any portion of the audio file (or files) specified in by the "reference" parameter. As soon as a partial match is made, the "maxtime" timer is cancelled. The audio stream continues to be monitored until either the confidence reaches the specified value, or for number of seconds equal to the longest reference audio file has occurred, whichever comes first. In the real-time mode audio verification is performed by media threads. It is recommended to set setting "MediaThreadsCount" greater than 64. The real-time mode works for G.711 codec only. By default, the algorithm searches for matches by testing delays equal to multiples of RTP frame duration (N*10ms), in this way saving CPU time. If there are partial-frame delays in your environment (e.g. if voice goes over non-RTP channels like TDM), set setting "EnablePartialFrameOffsetInRealtimeAudioVerifier" to "1"
ravParameters (optional, default is "mode=exact") - only for real-time audio verification mode, configures mode of real-time audio verification: "mode=fuzzy" or "mode=exact"
debugRecordingThreshold (optional, 0-100) - for real-time audio verification: "verifyaudio" saves debug recordings of observed audio, if confidence is less than the "debugRecordingThreshold". Recorded file names are built from settings "DebugMediaPath" and "DebugMediaFileNamePattern"
mosvar (optional) - name of variable to store PESQ MOS. If "mosvar" attribute exists, PESQ algorithm is used to calculate MOS. If recorded duration and reference duration are not equal, minimum duration is selected for PESQ.
Note: If waitConfidenceThreshold is specified, this value has no effect.
recognizedreferencevar (optional) - name of variable to store matched reference audio file. If more than one file is passed in the reference value, the file with the highest match is returned.
probability (optional) - probability of audio verification being executed. Is used to verify audio for only part of calls, in this way reducing CPU load. Valid range is a decimal value from 0-1.
var (optional) - name of variable to store measured delay in milliseconds. If the "maxtime" timeout expires, it receives a value of "maxtime"
minTimeBelowLevel (optional, default is "500ms") - minimal duration of audio below the "level" before exiting the "waitforsilence"
signaldelayvar (optional) - name of variable to store measured delay in milliseconds. If the "maxtime" timeout expires, it receives a value of "maxtime"
minTimeAboveLevel (optional, default is "0ms") - minimal duration of exceeding the "level" before exiting the "waitforsignal"
If you use CDR CSV files, and if your code contains conditional branches (i.e. "writecdr" is not always executed), you should put a "writecdr" with empty value in the beginning of your script, so it will be always executed.
enabled ("true"/"false", default "true") - is used to turn off a CallXML element.
Attributes in script may contain substitutions. A substitution starts with '$' and ends with ';'. It is replaced in runtime with another string depending on type of substitution.
label - is used to identify the destination CallXML element in "goto" | 2019-04-20T16:35:49 | https://startrinity.com/VoIP/CallXml/CallXmlDocumentation.aspx |

Everything Shook are supporting the magical Fujiya & Miyagi!
there’s no greater reason to make music than the ability to have a physical reaction on someone.” Best.
The Brighton group return to Dublin after 3 years to play tracks from their five acclaimed albums, including their 2014 release Artificial Sweeteners.
Few have offered such a bitter sweet taste of pop through their career as Fujiya & Miyagi; underneath the sticky wrappers that have packaged their sugary synth lines and rich hooks since the turn of the Millennium, there’s always been a grittier after taste – be it manifest through their love of pounding 70’s krautrock, or in the seen-it-all weariness of their lyrics.
Best’s use of words for sound-quality over meaning and repetition of phrase to deepen meaning elsewhere is inspired by Serge Gainsbourg and Iggy Pop. “Both knew how to give the seemingly trivial or shallow depth,” he explains, “by cutting away the flab you can make what you produce less self-indulgent.” That’s something you couldn’t have ever accused Fujiya & Miyagi of across a 14-year career. | 2019-04-23T17:53:41 | https://everythingshook.com/news/ |

What is life like for a dancer when they can no longer dance? Inspired by Merrill Ashley's departure from the New York City Ballet as an acclaimed principal dancer, this documentary, created by Ron Steinman and Eileen Douglas, captures the poignancy of this life turning point. After a struggle to find her next step, today Merrill Ashley travels around the world teaching Balanchine to dance companies which perform his works as once she did. This is the story of any dancer - or, in truth any one of us - who needs to find their way into a new life.
" An excellent documentary on Merrill Ashley's career and her goodbye... Bravo! Bravo!"
"When a dancer wakes up one morning and is no longer a part of the dance community, it's an incredible loss that is devastating. Yet, transition from a dance career into another career is a journey of rediscovering who you are. 'The Dance Goodbye' beautifully shows how that journey plays out by following ballerina Merrill Ashley in a documentary that offers a rare look inside the dancer's life when the dance, but not life itself, is finished."
"I’ve always been a huge fan of New York City Ballet ballerina Merrill Ashley, and her transition story will touch the heart of every lover of dance and, more importantly, every dancer who will face this challenge; it certainly touched mine. This project is a must see!"
"The frank presentation of the emotional process of retiring from one's career is why I highly recommend this for libraries supporting dance majors, dancers beginning their careers, and parents and educators who support dancers. Collections supporting retirement, retirees, and aging will also want to include this film." | 2019-04-19T12:26:04 | http://www.firstrunfeatures.com/dancegoodbye_educational.html |

Written as an email to a friend back home, this picture book tells the story of Roy, whose family has just moved to Canada from Jamaica. His new home is different from his old home – in Canada, even the sun feels cold! His nerves ease, though, as welcome reminders of home follow him through his day. His neighbor gives him a button as a gift for his first day of school. The principal tells him about the soccer team and his new class makes him feel welcome. Everything is looking up until Roy goes to show his classmates his new button and he can’t find it! He rushes back to the principal’s office where they look up and down and all around for the button. Thanks to his powers of observation, Roy finds it in an unexpected place and is able to show it to his new friends. The friendly people he meets, and their shared love of Bob Marley, make for a good start at his new school. By the end of the day, Roy is happy to find a piece of his old home in his new home.
Sadu captures the voice of a young boy in a new country in this story about finding a new home while still staying proud of where you’re from. Harlem-based artist Alix Delinois shows the joy of making new friends with his vibrant, layered paintings.
Alix Delinois is a fine artist and art teacher living in Harlem, New York. He was born in Saint Marc, Haiti, and moved to Harlem as a child. He has illustrated three children's books written by award-winning authors Walter Dean Myers, Edwidge Danticat and Gretchen Woelfle. This is his fourth picture book.
Bright acrylic and mixed-media illustrations further establish the upbeat tone in this story about finding comforting touchstones in a new home. | 2019-04-18T18:48:14 | https://houseofanansi.com/products/greetings-leroy-digital |
Your little one might love to ride, but that doesn't mean they'll be doing Trans-Provence this summer. That's why we made our Hotrock 24 with plenty of gear range to tackle the neighbourhood hills, and enough front end travel to ride beginner's trails confidently.
Of course, it also features a lightweight, yet durable, A1 Premium Aluminium frame that's designed to take a hit while they find their legs on the pump track. Chatter and bumps, meanwhile, are handled by the coil-sprung SR Suntour fork's 50mm of travel.
Then there are a whole host of other components that are plenty tough enough to stand up to your little ripper, so you can rest assured that you'll be spending more time riding with your kid and less time waiting in line at the repair counter.

Around here we are a sucker for all things map related & today's Etsy shop, The Uncommon Green, has an original gift idea for the map lovers in your life. Their etched glasses caught my eye - the fact that they offer so many types of maps & in various styles just seals my mini love affair.
First up, there's a number of marathon themed glasses - such a fun congratulatory gift! This one shows the ground covered in the Marine Corp Marathon.
Or you could track the path of the Boston Marathon! Go big or go home right?
Not a runner & prefer to watch sports than participate? Yeah that's me..... well thats a'll the more reason to adore the college town tumblers. My favorite version are the ones in school colors. It pains my UNC loving soul to post these Clemson glasses, but the colors popped so well I couldn't help it. Forgive me fellow Tarheel fans.
They offer a few other styles in their line of college towns. Here's a more understated option for you diehard Penn State fans.
Glassware not your thing? I really like the slate serving plates with engraved state maps. Here's to Virginia!
I don't think the last picture does these plates justice by showing how clear the engraving really is on these beauties. They've got me dreaming of a cheese plate. Blue Stilton. Dubliner. Honey. Fig jam. A dab of goat cheese. Raspberry jam. Excuse me while I head to the kitchen.
......and even Mason jars. Bring on all things Southern!
There are over 500 different pieces of glassware maps in The Uncommon Green's Etsy shop. Sure these are super fun, but I love that they are an affordable gift ($14-16ish dollars for most). I love the creativeness of combining the popularity of maps in such a usable format...I just wish I had thought of this idea! Check out their shop - you won't regret it! | 2019-04-20T02:36:56 | http://www.thehomemadefig.com/the-homemade-fig/the-uncommon-green |
Balance this spicy coconut soup with protein by adding your favorite seafood. Shrimp or scallops would be delicious. Feeling fancy? Garnish this dish with sliced green onions and grated lime zest.
In a large saucepan, add the coconut oil and garlic over medium heat. Add the tomato, onion, pepper, and coconut, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the vegetables into a food processor, along with the coconut water, cayenne pepper, curry powder, ginger powder, salt, and pepper, and blend until smooth.
Pour the mixture from the food processor back into the saucepan over low heat. Bring the mixture to a slight simmer. Remove from the heat and serve warm. Garnish with lemon zest, if desired.

The underachieving, unappreciated middle child of a Japanese Hawaiian family, Toni Yagyuu just wants a little attention and affection from the men in her life— most of all from her father, Harry O., a gruff but sweet taxidermist. The stubborn narrator of Lois-Ann Yamanaka’s third novel refuses to speak up, however, as she is let down again and again by the ones she loves most.
Yet even as they break her heart, Toni’s cool psychological observations remain both unsparing and profoundly generous. This is Yamanaka at her best, examining human failure through a microscope of love, of desire. Unfortunately, the characters Toni loves least never appear with such clarity. Her spoiled sister Bunny, her narcissistic gay brother Sheldon, even their kind Mommy never emerge from behind the narrator’s emotional prejudices.
A similar problem in her last novel, Blu’s Hanging, led to accusations that her portrayal of Filipino characters was racist; sadly, the slapstick debate that ensued generally demeaned the issues it raised. Underlying it all was a creeping distrust for Yamanaka’s chosen form, the postJoy Luck Club multicultural novel. Still, within the genre’s tired conventions (dialect, “exotic” settings, generational conflict), her painful humor has always been subversive, as when Sheldon, dragged by the macho Harry O. on a hunting trip, petulantly bursts into a chorus of “A hundred mirrion meee-ra-culls” (from the godawful 1961 Hollywood assimilationist extravaganza Flower Drum Song). What’s more, her three novels are now being billed as a trilogy on coming of age in Hawaii, which I hope indicates that she’ll soon be turning her talents to less predictable material.
Like most Asian American readers, I’ve grown tired of waiting for the hundred mirrion meee-ra-culls hawked by publishers in the aftermath of the Amy Tan craze. For now, I’m happy to find a little bit of wisdom and humor, a little bit of courage and grace. Lois-Ann’s got it. We want more. | 2019-04-22T14:16:27 | https://www.villagevoice.com/1999/03/02/heads-by-harry/ |

What a start to last week with Monday's Superleague match between Storm and Bath. We were finishing uni training at Herts as the game started and had to keep refreshing Twitter for updates.
As soon as we'd finished we shot back to our uni house to watch the rest of it. Hats off to Mikki Austin, she had certainly done her homework. It was really good to see some of the Bath youngsters getting their chance on court with the much-missed absence of Eboni Esoro Brown. I love matches that keep you on the edge of your seat and this was definitely one of those.
It's been an awesome start to this year's Superleague with every team taking a win in the first few rounds so no one can be underestimated this season, anything can happen which will mean it will be a really competitive league, and entertaining for the fans!
I must admit that I don't always enjoy watching netball as I have too critical a point of view and I get engrossed in the tactical analysis rather than actually enjoying the game. I'd rather watch sports that I don't compete in like rugby, swimming or Formula 1 but nothing beats watching sport live so you can soak up the whole atmosphere, especially rugby! That said though I did really enjoy Monday's netball and with more games like this I could really get into TV viewing.
Paul Scholes talks about his appreciation of netball during our coverage of Manchester Thunder v London Pulse.
Last Friday was the transfer window deadline for British Basketball, and it got me thinking about if netball had one. I think it would shake up the netball and raise the profile of the game further with everyone talking about who might move where. It would make the competition more competitive, not only for the clubs but also individually as you'd always need to bring your A game. It would almost be like a try before you buy situation. Anyway food for thought!
I was back with the Herts Uni team for the BUCS competition on Wednesday after missing a couple of the earlier fixtures in the year. We were off to Bath Uni and as we had lost to them in our home game we needed to win by a minimum of 14 goals to win the BUCS South League. We knew it would be a hard game as Bath have a strong squad but we were totally stoked to come away with a 72-40 win. So we are now South League Champions and have secured a home Semi-Final for the National Cup which always makes a difference having your support behind you.
So to celebrate the whole team came to ours for a 'family' dinner! We are a really close, tight squad and as if living with four of the netballers isn't enough, the other players often stay at our house. We are just like a big family even to the point that I got told off for not cleaning up after our meal - what do they expect haven't they seen my room? It's like having four mums!
I closely followed the Storm vs Wasps match on Twitter on Saturday, raising funds for cancer in memory of Tom Reseigh, Storm's former team manager. It was the third year the cup has been run and I was lucky enough to be part of the previous two with Wasps. I never knew Tom personally, although you kind of know everyone through someone in the netball world, but the girls all speak so highly of him and I know it's an event very close to their hearts.
On Monday, I headed to Wales with Saracens Mavericks to face Celtic Dragons in Round 4 - a hard-fought game and we came away with another win. To top it all off, Celtic Dragons gave me player of the match which was totally unexpected and probably showed when I was interviewed as I couldn't get my words out and just talked about the score being 'pretty numbers' well it was 66-44, - I've been getting a total roasting from the team! The new hashtag is #prettynumbers.
Now looking forward to next week's fixture against my old team Wasps. It will be an interesting match-up. It will be weird being back at The Ricoh Arena, my home for the past two years. It's always hard going up against your old team but I'm sure the fans will be as lovely as they've always been.

Law enforcement officials are investigating a suspicious package at a FedEx facility in southeast Austin, Texas.
Law enforcement is investigating a suspicious package at a FedEx facility in southeast Austin, Texas. A local news outlet reports all employees were evacuated.
This incident comes after a package exploded at another FedEx facility just outside of San Antonio early Tuesday morning.
Law enforcement officials haven't said if the two FedEx incidents are connected to each other or if either is linked to the four bombings in Austin.
Two people have died, and four have been injured in the blasts in the state's capitol city.
Police say they suspect a "serial bomber." | 2019-04-20T06:46:10 | https://www.newsy.com/stories/austin-police-investigate-suspicious-package-at-local-fedex/ |
Hello! I am trying to isolate one part of my HIPNAME in order to make a "version folder" when rendering. So the hip name look like this: AAA_BBBBBB_cccccccc_v001_ddd i want to isolate the v001. I am trying this: `substr($HIPNAME, 20, 24)` and instead of giving me v001 it gives me v001_ddd I guess is something conflicting with the underscore. Any other way to isolate it? Thanks!
Hi guys! I was wondering if i could use a portion of the $HIPNAME (scene name) to name my renders. Example: SH001_mountain_v1.hip So, what I want, is my render file name look like this: SH001_mountain_$OS_v1_$F4.exr So, basically we are looking a way to extract the first 14 characters from the $HIPNAME aswell the last 2 characters (version number). I know it's posible with Python but i am trying to avoid it, since we tried and it gave us a lot of errors (we are not coders). Is this thing posible with Hscript or should i go deep into python? Thank you very much guys!
It's a production thing, so i can't post it, i will recreate it and post! Thanks!
Yeah! Worked like a charm with subdivide (don't know why it isnt working with the Divide sop tho). Thank you very much! Im trying to do the same thing with the edge noise without any good result, got the same issue! The noise done by a point vop is changing every frame. Sorry for being so annoying! hahah Thank you very much boss.
Yeah, I tried that only freezes the frame, it kills the animation! I need to keep the new topology made by my noise at frame 1 and keep it along all the sim. I tried with time shifting on frame 1, doing a rest position and copying it in the simulation, but im not sure if the workflow works like that! haha Thanks tho! EDIT: The thing is, if it was my own simulation, i would do all the topology tricks on the static mesh and then simulate it. But in this case, the simulation is already made so I have to find a trick to change that mesh and keeping along all the simulation.
Hi guys! Im struggling with a thing that i never thought before about it! haha I am importing a glass shattering simulation from a guy that works in 3dmax, he did the edges without any imperfection so im adding a noise on the cuts in houdini to get it more realistic. The thing is, in order to add some detail on the edges, i divided the surface using a DIVIDE sop and then adding the noise via a point vop, everything was working in the static frame, but I realized when I did a flipbook that the divide sop is acting in everyframe, so the topology of the edges changes in every frame. I don't have any clue how to freeze that topology that i get at frame 1 along the full animation. Any tip guys!? Thanks!!!

[pts][bodh] "There are, O monks, these three feelings: pleasant, painful and neither-painful-nor-pleasant. Pleasant feelings should be known as painful, painful feelings should be known as a thorn, and neither-painful-nor-pleasant feelings should be known as impermanent. If a monk has known the feelings in such a way, it is said of him that he has the right outlook.

A North Texas homeless shelter fire leaves at least five people dead.
Wired PR News.com – A fire broke out in a Paris, Texas homeless shelter early Monday morning and claimed the lives of at least five individuals. As reported by the Dallas Morning News, the fire began around 3 a.m. at the Seed Sowers Christians in Action men’s shelter. Firefighters were said to have spent over three hours trying to extinguish it.
Foul play was not suspected by officials at the time of the report, however, a determination of the cause of the fire had yet to be made. Survivors have reportedly received some assistance from the nearby First United Methodist Church, but await word on when the shelter might be reopened. | 2019-04-23T19:51:23 | https://www.wiredprnews.com/2009/01/07/fire-breaks-out-in-homeless-shelter-%E2%80%93-claims-five-lives_200901071853.html |

This novel serves as a continuation of the original series episode ‘What little girls are made of’. In the episode, Kirk and Christine Chapel beam down to Exo III to meet the long missing Dr. Roger Korby who is also Christine’s fiancée. Korby tells Kirk that he has made an amazing breakthrough after deciphering the texts from a past civilization of Exo III. Instead of discussing the discovery or showing it, he places Kirk into the duplication machine and creates a android copy of the Captain. After demonstrating how he can make android copies of anyone, Korby tells Kirk that he intends to use the robotic copies to hold human consciousness that can be transferred into it, creating a type of immortality. Korby, however thinks that mankind is too paranoid to openly accept such technology and insists that the androids must be introduced into Federation society covertly. Kirk, naturally thinks the plan is far too dangerous.
In this book, we discover that the androids are still functioning and willing to act out Dr. Korby’s plan. The android copy of Kirk is on a distant planet, ahead of the Enterprise’s arrival. The copy of Kirk makes a phoney deal with local thugs about selling dilithium crystals, they agree to the deal and give him an advance payment. He then makes no secret about spending their all money on rounds of drinks at the local pubs. The Enterprise soon arrives and shore leave parties beam down. It isn’t long before Kirk is mistaken for the android and is kidnapped by the gangsters, giving the android a perfect opportunity to slip into Kirk’s identity and take over command. Androids soon begin to replace crew members of the USS Enterprise and the USS Hood. To add to the trouble, the Romulans have been amassing at the neutral zone, putting Starfleet on a footing for possible war.
This book starts off a little slow and builds up throughout the story and I found that the writing had some flair that flowed nicely. I find that Captain Kirk’s character can be difficult to do justice sometimes, but this book revolves around him the most and really captured his wit and style flawlessly. The Androids make for some gripping villains, underhanded and calculated until the very end, they even square off against the Romulans.
Towards the end, I felt like I got my money’s worth from this book. There’s a scene with Kirk talking to his double on the ship’s view-screen, each accusing each other of being the imposter. There’s also a space-battle between the Enterprise and a Romulan flagship, and my favourite scene in which the Enterprise crew and the androids are having a shoot-out with phasers in the ship’s corridors.
My last thoughts are that this is one of the best Star Trek novels I’ve come across. It was a little slow at times, but this story is the type I really like to see. I also enjoyed going back and viewing the original episode this book branches off from, the story from episode to book flows nicely. With a small amount of changes I think the story could make a really good movie, with cold android villains, space-battles and phaser shoot-outs, how could you go wrong? | 2019-04-22T13:28:45 | http://www.zone-six.net/2015/06/25/star-trek-double-double/ |

Pictures of a new Nvidia test-GPU has leaked online, revealing Nvidia's first graphics card with GDDR6 memory, there is no word on what GPU this will relate to in the future but initial signs appear to be pointing towards a GTX 1080 Ti replacement which could be the GTX 1180/2080 depending on which rumour you believe.
Not a great deal is known about the graphics card apart from it having twelve 8Gb(1GB) GDDR6 memory modules, which are all created by Micron and have a part number of 8BA77 D9WCW, which means that these modules are designed to deliver 14Gbps speeds each, which over twelve chips on a 384-bit bus equate to a total memory bandwidth of around 672 GB/s. The 384-bit is the bit that may indicate this being a consumer card replacing the GTX 1080 Ti. The Tesla Volta and Quadro GV100 both have 2 way NVLink connectors, this only has one way, which could also be another sign towards a consumer card.
This graphics card PCB has an NVLink connection three 8-pin power connections that can provide up to 525 W of power. An over the top specification is common with test platforms as it allows the manufacturer to test a board with no constraints.
This would be the first card to use GDDR6 and the mass production of this memory was only announced this week.
Sadly, the timeframe of a new consumer GPU is currently up in the air, it looks like Nvidia maybe pushing the schedule back following a huge return of 300,000 boards from an OEM. | 2019-04-24T22:26:18 | https://mightygadget.co.uk/nvidia-graphics-pcb-leaks-possible-gtx-1180-quadro-testbed/ |
Minutes of the New York Wing Cadet Advisory Council meeting held on 24 September 2002 at MEG HQ.
NOTE: THESE MINUTES ARE A REPORT OF DISCUSSIONS BY CADET DELEGATES. NO ACTION IS TO BE TAKEN AS A RESULT OF ANYTHING PRINTED HEREIN (EXCEPT FURTHER DISCUSSIONS BY UNIT CAC's). ALL CHANGES MADE WILL BE MADE THROUGH PROPER CHANNELS.
CALL TO ORDER: The motion to begin the 24 September 2002 meeting of the New York Wing's Cadet Advisory Council was made by Paul F Dolce, C/Capt, CAP and seconded by Joseph G Dolce, C/1Lt, CAP at 1146 hrs.
Could not review the minutes because we did not have enough groups present to vote.
C/Capt Dolce presented a choice to the council on what leadership schools there were. Basic Cadet School, NCO Academy, and Cadet Officer School.
After this was brought up a lengthy discussion was held and ended with an agreement on a Cadet Leadership School.
C/Capt Dolce asked the present council to be on the task force.
C/2Lt Paquette Agreed to head up the council.
C/1Lt Dolce joined the task force.
Council discusses the actions they have to take to make the CLS work. So the task force will develop a manual on the CLS and use it in the summer of 2004.
Col Granville speaks to the council about the 2003 wing conference which will be held in Binghamton. He is encouraging the council to make the conference more cadet oriented filling it with cadet classes.
C/Capt Dolce believes that there should be another cadet social but earlier this time.
C/Capt Dolce decided to table the topic till the next meeting because there was not enough of the council present to decide on the activities.
The council had complaints about what is the wrong and right way to wear the wing patch.
C/ Capt Dolce said that the patch should be creased on the blues. He also asked Col Granville the way he does it.
Col Granville replied that the patch should be creased on the blues.
C/ 1Lt Dolce asked about the wing patch on the BDUs.
The council decided that it should be either way because it is not stated in the regulations. The council also decided to write up a proposal stating that the wing patches will be creased on the blues, and there is a choice with the BDUs.
The motion to adjourn the 24 Sept 02 NYWG CAC meeting was made by Paul Dolce, C/Capt, CAP and seconded by Joseph Dolce, C/1LT, CAP at 1700 hrs. | 2019-04-23T08:38:14 | http://nywgcadets.org/cac09-24-2002.html |

Chennai sources stated that Selvi a lawyer and activist from Manithi said "Unlike men who go to Sabarimala under the guidance of a ‘gurusamy’, women have no such person to lead. We are organizing them to exercise their rights”. Meanwhile around 50 women, led by Chennai based women right’s group Manithi are all set to visit Sabarimala on December 23. Selvi said “All the women visiting the temple would observe celibacy for five days before going to Sabarimala and women from Tamilnadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Odisha will join together and women’s groups from Kerala, like the Adivasi women’s group, will lead us there".
As per report Manithi had written to the Kerala chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan seeking support to visit the temple. Selvi said ”We got a response informing us that our email has been forwarded to police officers in Pathanamthitta to provide help during our visit" adding that since they are going as a group, they had derive strength from their unity.
Meanwhile after Manithi announced their trip on their Facebook page on 16, more women have approached us to help them to go to Sabarimala. She added "Despite receiving discouragement online, the group has not wavered and there has not been any direct threat. Several people have left messages and comments online but that will not bring us down". | 2019-04-19T22:50:32 | https://www.apherald.com/Politics/ViewArticle/328505/Chennai-based-Women-rights-group-all-set-to-visit-Sabarimala-on-December-23/ |

Hi, I'm no bird photographer, but decided to take my K3ii, 300mm lens with 1.4 convertor in to the local park, my problem is how to keep the focus point on a small bird that isn't gonna it still for you? I use single point in afc, but still couldn't keep up with them, finally a woodpecker felt sorry for me and posed on a stump. I love the effect, but surely there is a setting that makes life easier?

@normhead may be along to give you some ideas. There are a lot of good shots of birds taken with that lens combo - and many techniques. I'm not a great birder so I'm hoping one of the others wanders in.
a setting that makes life easier?
Back Focus & lock on to approx. distance on some other point is one.
Last edited by honey bo bo; 12-04-2018 at 03:34 PM.
I almost always use single point in AF try to focus on the eye and then recompose (prefocus on the tree or whatever is close), AFC I only use with birds in flight with auto 5 or 9 focus points (depending on camera) pre focus on where you think they fly by and hope for the best the DA* is a bit slow for that anyway but with practice you get some results. Practice as much as you can it does not cost anything to hit the delete button afterwards.
Its important you be patient, watch the birds where they feed, study their behavior and try to get as close as possible without scaring them away.
Last edited by Urs; 10-18-2018 at 03:18 PM.
I feel your pain. Single point is nearly impossible to keep on a small moving bird, i was thinking maybe continuous focus maybe using 9 points so i have a larger focus area when tracking. Keep trying different settings til you find one that works.
I concur wholeheartedly with Urs, and with his gallery how can you argue?
It's usually not possible but getting the birds close is extremely helpful. Do some research, find where certain birds are likely to be and when. If you're lucky enough to live near a migration hotpoint, find out when that is and go.
I did see one video on youtube recently where the photographer watched the birds behaviour for some time and set up his camera to focus on a particular perch or branch and waited for the birds to come to him. Camera on tripod with remote control etc Required a lot of patience but enabled him to pre-compose the shot for effective background, exposure etc. . I have not had much opportunity to try this myself but I have, like you, experienced much frustration trying to chase the birds with the camera.
There are times I miss the AF point switch on the K-5...I wish Ricoh had kept it instead of the worthless photo/video switch...The least they could have done is make an RAW/FX button option to switch between multi-point and center point.
For a stable bird like that, that may move around a bit, a shutter speed of 400 and an F10 aperture might have worked well. I use TAV mode usually when I am shooting birds that are relocating themselves in a tree or on a bush frequently. If the bird is a woodpecker like what you are showing in your picture, they are known for moving around quite a bit and their heads are pecking on the tree a lot, so that movement is usually accounted for with a 400 ISO, but if you get a bird that is just standing there with just slight movement, you can use a slower shutter speed like 320 or 250 along with an aperture of F10 or F11. If you are in TAV mode the camera is going to automatically figure out your ISO. You may want to set your meter area to center spot also to make sure it does not stray by metering on something that is not in the area of the bird itself.
Below is a shortcut to one of my Pentax Forums gallery images of a semi-stationary bird.

I do quite a bit of birding, Tuggie, and it's all about improving speed and correctness of technique.
So you should begin quickly deploying and bracing the camera then framing and shooting large, tame waterfowl at a park, and build up to the jumpier, smaller, wilder birds.
With the exception of trying to track something in flight, I do better with a single point AFS instead of AFC. And prefocusing is key too. Much more likely to nail a crisp shot if you're 99% there to start.
I've been experimenting with birds and birds in flight for awhile, both with my K-3 and K-1. It's definitely a practice makes perfect process. For birds not in flight, I will sometimes use a tripod with a gimbal attachment. For the most part for birding (hand held or tripod mounted), I use TAV with minimum shutter speed from 1/750 to 1/1000, and higher if light allows; aperture is set to the lens's sweet spot (F8 for my D-FA 150-450, or F13 when I use my F-300), and I let the ISO ride (the dynamic range on the K-1 is significantly better than the K-3, so I don't get a lot of noise if the light isn't great). I use center weighted average metering, AFC with Auto- 9 focus points, and continuous shooting high drive mode in 4 to 5 image bursts (the K-3 has a better frame rate than the K-1, so I can use a longer burst if needed). I also shut off every in camera adjustment and shoot in raw only in order to keep the AF fast. Lastly I use back button focus.
There's a great article that for shooting sports that translates very well to shooting wildlife.
Attached image was shot handheld at 1/3200, F8, ISO 800, focal length 450mm.
One other thought. Besides for the camera settings, depth of field is one other thing you need to think about. The longer the lens, the shorter the available depth of field. Add a teleconverter and the available depth of field gets reduced. For example, a 300mm lens on a K-3 at F16 and 10 feet from your subject will give you a depth of field of approximately 2-3/8" but add a 1.4x teleconverter and that DOF at F16 becomes 1-1/2". Go to F8, that DOF gets even more reduced. So it becomes trickier to get any or all of the bird in sharp focus.
When I first started chasing birds, I didn't really understand the relationship of lens length, distance to subject and how much DOF was or wasn't available. Often I'd get a soft bird and a really sharp branch because I was often pre focusing on a branch an not on the bird. Fortunately someone on the Forums explained this issue to me and I used the PhotoPills DOF calculator (they list Pentax bodies under camera types) to help me understand the relationship of all the factors. It was a bit of an eye opening lesson. It really helped me dial in my camera settings for my lens length and what my limitations where going to be.
One other interesting item of note - a full frame sensor will have a greater DOF than a crop sensor. In the above example, trading out the K-3 for the K-1 (and everything else being equal) the DOF increases from 2-3/8" to 3-1/2", and with the 1.4x TC the 1-1/2" increases to just over 2-3/8".
AFS, spot focus f8, 1/300+ and whatever iso you need to get that. .... practice & luck, the more you practice the more luck you have. | 2019-04-24T18:45:45 | https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/172-pentax-k-3/377753-focus-birds.html |

San Francisco, California – In a unanimous rebuke, the Ninth Circuit court ruled Friday that the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) had illegally approved a permit authorizing the Navy to use its high-intensity long-range sonar – called low-frequency active sonar (or LFA) – in more than 70 percent of the world’s oceans. Designed for submarine detection over vast expanses of deep sea, LFA has the capacity to expose thousands of square miles – and everything in it – to dangerous levels of noise.
The case against the Fisheries Service was brought by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), The Humane Society of the United States, Cetacean Society International, League for Coastal Protection, Ocean Futures Society and its President Jean-Michel Cousteau, and Michael Stocker, a bioacoustician and director of Ocean Conservation Research in California.
In its decision, the three-judge panel found that the Fisheries Service had unlawfully ignored reasonable safeguards recommended by the government’s own scientists to reduce or prevent harm from the sonar system, resulting in a “systematic underprotection of marine mammals” throughout “most of the oceans of the world.” Experts had recommended that the Fisheries Service protect the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador, the Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument off of Hawaii, Challenger Bank off of Bermuda, and other areas around the world important to whales, dolphins, seals, and other marine mammals. But the Fisheries Service went ahead and gave the Navy the greenlight to operate its intense sonar in the vast majority of these areas.
Protecting marine mammal habitat from Navy sonar is “of paramount importance” under the law.
The Fisheries Service has an independent responsibility to ensure the “least practicable impact on marine mammals” (i.e., the lowest possible level of harm)before giving the Navy – or anyone else – permission to harm these protected species; and that the Fisheries Service must err on the side of overprotection rather than underprotection.
The Fisheries Service had given “mere lip service” to the requirement to minimize impacts during Navy sonar training.
The law requires the Fisheries Service to mitigate harm to individual marine mammals and their habitat, rather than ignore its statutory responsibility until species as a whole are threatened.
This is the third time that NRDC has successfully challenged the government’s failure to adequately protect marine mammals from the Navy’s use of the LFA system. In the prior district court cases (2002 and 2007) plaintiffs and the Navy reached a court-ordered settlement allowing use of the system in significantly reduced areas of the world’s oceans, with the promise of sufficient protections under future permits. The Fisheries Service failed to meet that promise, and the Ninth Circuit’s decision requires the agency to provide greater protections for whales and other marine mammals.
LFA sonar involves an array of 18 loudspeakers lowered several hundred feet from a ship’s hull into the ocean. Sound waves generated during one Naval test of the LFA system reached 140 decibels – an intensity more than 100 times greater than the level known to disturb gray whales – more than 300 miles from the source. An independent analysis of some of the Navy’s data indicates that, during LFA tests off the coast of California, their signals were clearly audible at sites across the entire North Pacific.
There is continuing evidence that LFA creates a risk of widespread disturbance to countless marine species and their habitat, compromising critical behaviors like breeding, nursing, and foraging.
Because a single LFA source is capable of flooding thousands of square miles of ocean with intense levels of sound, the Navy and NMFS again concede that deployment of the system around the world will harm many thousands of marine mammals, including significant numbers of endangered species such as blue whales, humpback whales, sperm whales.
Ocean noise is the subject of a recent, award-winning documentary, Sonic Sea, which is screening worldwide on the Discovery network this summer. The film was produced by NRDC and Imaginary Forces in association with the International Fund for Animal Welfare and Diamond Docs. | 2019-04-24T06:48:32 | http://www.bagheera.com/navy-must-protect-marine-mammals/ |

TORONTO — An inaugural private-sector Canadian jobs report calculates that the economy actually shed jobs last month, contrary to the sizable gain reported two weeks ago by Statistics Canada.
The Canada National Employment Report from ADP — a U.S.-based payroll processor known for releasing jobs data ahead of the American government — estimates that 5,700 payroll jobs were lost in October.
That’s a big difference from the 35,300 jobs that Statistics Canada suggests were added in October, according to the Labour Force Survey of about 56,000 households released Nov. 3 — one of the major sources of data used by economists.
Ahu Yildirmaz, who co-heads ADP’s research arm, says it’s publishing the information as a public service and doesn’t charge a fee for the monthly report.
“Our goal is to provide insight, not only to our clients and prospects but also to government, to policy-makers, to business decision-makers,” Yildirmaz said in an interview.
She added that ADP’s reports are based on data collected from actual payrolls at 40,000 companies with 2.2 million employees in Canada, which provides a much bigger sample than the government’s surveys.
A statement from Statistics Canada said ADP’s report uses “completely different concepts and methodology” than the government’s employment data.
“Their occupational breakdown is based on various sources of data such as those derived from their clients but also from Statistics Canada’s Labour Force Survey and the Survey of Employment, Payroll and Hours.
Two of Canada’s most prominent private-sector economists — Doug Porter of BMO Financial Group and Avery Shenfeld of CIBC — say the additional data is welcome but ADP is unlikely to replicate the prominence it has in the United States.
The company’s U.S. payroll reports are a “very important addition the mix” but they come out about two days before the U.S. Labour Department’s flagship jobs reports, Porter said in an interview.
“I’m just a little bit concerned that this one (for Canada) might not get all that much attention over time because it comes out after the Labour Force Survey. In this case, almost two weeks later,” Porter said.
In addition, he noted that it may be unhelpful to have ADP’s information conflict with StatCan’s — as it appears to do in the case of ADP’s October numbers released Thursday.
But Porter said that ADP’s reports may be useful for confirming or challenging big swings in government jobs estimates.
“Maybe the best thing about this new ADP data is that it will cause markets and economists to give StatCan’s payrolls data the respect it deserves, since it’s likely a more accurate reading on job creation in the short term,” Shenfeld said.
Porter said the U.S. Department of Labor issues results from two surveys — of households and employers — at the same time each month, but Statistics Canada’s Survey of Employment, Payrolls and Hours comes out six to seven weeks later.
“StatCan will often point to that (SEPH) survey as being a better way to look at industry-by-industry employment. But it’s almost ignored it is so far behind,” Porter said.
However, given the new ADP Canadian National Employment report, it’s interesting to note that its estimate of Canadian jobs added in August (38,327) is closer to StatCan’s August payroll report (38,900 added) than StatCan’s Labour Force Survey for the same month (22,000).
Porter said that, no matter what the monthly surveys say, he’s more interested in longer-term trends. | 2019-04-21T16:53:32 | https://nationalpost.com/pmn/news-pmn/canada-news-pmn/u-s-payroll-firm-challenges-statistics-canada-with-alternative-employment-data |
Queen Alia International Airport is 32 kilometres (20 miles) south-east of Amman city centre and is Jordan's gateway to the world.
All visitors need an International Driving Permit in order to drive in Jordan, where traffic drives on the right-hand side. The main roads in Amman are in a good state of repair, but minor roads and tracks should be avoided without an appropriate vehicle, a good supply of water and local advice!
All the major car hire companies are represented in Amman, some with drivers provided on a daily basis, and the city centre also has a reliable and inexpensive bus service. These are probably better options for newcomers to Amman. | 2019-04-18T20:23:29 | http://www.worldexecutive.com/locations/middle_east/jordan/amman/transport.html |

Italian software developer Overloud is offering Breverb, a synthesized reverb plug-in that's modeled on high-end hardware reverbs costing many times its $499 retail. It includes four master algorithms: Hall, Room, Plate and Inverse. Each algorithm runs in a separate environment within the plug-in while using minimal CPU resources, and has specific sets of adjustable parameters that are relevant to the ambience that they create. Breverb runs as a native app on PCs and Macs in Audio Units, VST and RTAS formats, and uses iLok copy protection.
Breverb's GUI clearly shows that incoming stereo signals are split into dry and wet (reverberation) paths. For control, there are stereo input/output faders, wet and dry level faders, pan pots and meters that surround the centralized reverb algorithm/preset selector menu. The wet signal passes through a master EQ and gate on its way to the wet/dry output mixer.
This master EQ comprises two dual-band, full-range parametric EQs with controls for gain, frequency and Q. The Q control adjusts the width of these bell-shaped filters and can also change them to 12dB-per-octave lowpass or highpass filters. The algorithm also includes a damping control (for use with halls, rooms and plates) to simulate the real-world effects of a room's wall materials and objects that absorb mostly high frequencies.
Overloud Breverb's interface lets you show/hide a customizable fader bank.
Following the EQ is a gate intended for gating reverb tails, with threshold, attack, release, hold time, shape (either linear or sigma) and slope parameters. The attack, release and hold parameters operate like any typical noise gate. Shape offers a choice of gate-attenuation curves: Linear is a straight, downward path; and sigma is an “S” shape, in which the gate closes slowly at first and then more rapidly downward. Slope controls the exact shape of this S curve — higher values mean a steeper downside.
Both the master EQ and gate are represented in the GUI as the last two in a row of five master control buttons or tabs with lighted in/out indicators. When you click on any of these five tabs, a row of up to six knobs appears for adjusting parameters under the selected tab's name/function.
Breverb's row of five master control tabs starts with the General tab, offering up to six parameters for controlling the synthesized reverbs. Nine reverb parameters are available: time, size, decay, diffusion, shape, spread, motion, pre-delay and depth. Control parameters vary depending on a preset's algorithm — i.e., a room algorithm's general parameter set offers time, size, diffusion and decay, while an inverse effect requires time, diffusion, pre-delay, motion and depth controls.
Breverb maintains a separate table of parameter values for each of the reverb's four master algorithms and their subsequently generated presets. You can properly “scale” a parameter's range to fit the selected algorithm/preset, automate and store parameter settings and then toggle between them (when changing presets) without overwriting the other parameter sets used for the other three algorithm/presets. This is ideal for comparing two different reverbs using the A and B select buttons, or shuttling sets of parameters between presets using the A-to-B and B-to-A functions. You can automate up to 133 parameters.
In Breverb, all parameters function independently of one another. One advantage of a reverb synth like Breverb over a convolution-based reverb is that in a reverb synth, all settings are completely malleable and free of any of the natural laws of physics. You can easily create room reverb sounds that are impossible in the physical world; because the reverb time and room size parameters are not connected, very small spaces can have very long reverberation times. Imagine a closet with a near-infinite number of reflections or a concert hall the size of a bedroom. I love it!
Pre-delay is configured in milliseconds or in musical notation for synching to session tempo. The Regen control sets pre-delay feedback of the left/right input channels, Motion sets the speed of the pre-delay modulation and Depth sets the amount of modulation.
To conserve screen space, you can show/hide up to six additional faders under the row of knobs or on the plug-in's right side. These six faders default to the most often tweaked parameters but can be easily reconfigured to control and/or automate any of Breverb's 37 GUI controls.
All master controls and parameters are saved with each user-named preset, and all six advanced mode faders — plus the in/wet/dry controls — are accessible via an external MIDI controller.
After installing the RTAS version on my quad-core Mac for my Pro Tools HD3 Accel system, I added Breverb to a session whose DSP resources were already maxed out and found no problems after Pro Tools reshuffled its DSP resources. In general, Breverb has a very present and bright sound, and, to be heard, does not add any appreciable level to the mix. After using it for a few weeks, I found that all of its presets cut through with ease and added a polished sheen to my mixes.
I first try all new hardware and software reverbs on drums. Percussive drum sounds are broadband and short in duration, so it's easy to hear any “boinging” or noticeable decay-looping artifacts. I used a room preset called Guitar Studio on the snare drum in a 128 bpm R&B song, which already had five other reverbs and four delays coming in and out at certain moments as effects. Breverb worked perfectly for adding a little overall ambience to the track. The Guitar Studio preset also worked for the lead vocal.
On a rock song, I modified an inverse preset called Swept Arpeggio to thicken a snare sound. Inverse patches sound unnatural, so unless you're going for a big-hair '80s snare sound, a little goes a long way. Inverse also works well on lead vocals, where it adds stereo width and size without the long-tailed reverb of a plate or hall patch.
A room patch called Chamber 1 worked smoothly on a pop ballad, and I preferred adjusting pre-delay using musical notation over using milliseconds. Using the Regen function makes pre-delay more interesting and smooths out any vocal attacks that can distract from the effect of an otherwise smooth-sounding reverb. I used the gate to ensure that the total hang time of the reverb's tail did not wash over the bar line of a chord change. Both the gate hold and release times are separately adjustable using musical notation — an extra-cool feature that gives you precise control rather than making you guess when the gate should shut.
One of the most beautiful plate presets is A Night In Sevilla. I used this on a fingerpicked acoustic guitar solo with great results. I could not get enough of this wonderful-sounding reverb! I used the master EQ to warm up the tone of the reverb slightly to better fit my track.
By greatly enlarging the size parameter of the Cello Drama Ambience plate preset while keeping the default time at 500 ms, I created a plate the size of a skyscraper with the decay time of a small room. This was amazing on an acoustic rhythm guitar, giving it a roomy sound that wasn't washed out in long reverb.
On a kick drum, I used a plate preset called Drums Up Front. I was going for a tight ambience on the kick because, by comparison to the rest of the kit, it sounded much too present, close and dry. I dialed the time parameter down to 200 ms and made the size at 45 percent. As with all very tight ambiences, I carefully added just enough to hear the effect while solo'ing the kick drum tracks. I find on most software reverbs, the left and right output levels for supertight ambiences are never exactly matched, and I would like to see separate level controls for the left and right outputs in Breverb. There are pan pots for left/right inputs and outputs that change the panoramic positioning, but not the level.
I liked Breverb's separate algorithms, its presets, the well-thought-out GUI and, most of all, its superb sound. And this plug-in lets you easily accomplish everything you would do using the remote control of a large, expensive hardware reverb. If you are interested in building your reverberation sounds just as you would build the sound of your mixes, then Breverb is for you.

The senior vice president of global policy and law for the U.S. Green Building Council apparently couldn’t take it anymore. Roger Platt’s in-your-face comments to the new leader of a minor-league rival to LEED were posted in January.
Today, Feb. 7, at 1:30 p.m. Eastern time the Woodrow Wilson Center hosts a discussion titled "U.S. Energy Independence: A New American Narrative," featuring global energy expert Daniel Yergin, among others. The event will be webcast live, and is part of the center's series The National Conversation: Discourse the Nation Deserves.
In related news, National Geographic weighs in on manufacturing site selection trends related to natural gas. It’s comprehensive reporting, and part of a series called The Great Energy Challenge.
CN announced in December it had started serving the rail needs of yet another frac sand producer on its Wisconsin rail network. The production facility of Source Energy Services (SES), formerly Canadian Sand and Proppants, in Weyerhaeuser, Wis., is located on CN’s rehabilitated Barron Subdivision and will have an annual production capacity of 1.2 million tons of high-grade sands, rising to 2 million tons by the third quarter of 2014. In 2012, CN spent US$35 million to restore a 40-mile segment of the subdivision between Ladysmith and Poskin, Wis., to better serve the frac sand market. CN has 11 frac sand facilities on its network in Wisconsin, which is seeing a substantial increase in frac sand production because of its reserves of high-quality and in-demand sands.
"In conjunction with the opening of the production facility in Wisconsin, SES will also bring on-line the largest frac sand terminal in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin in Wembley, Alberta, on CN’s network near Grande Prairie," said Brad Thomson, president and CEO of Calgary-based SES. "With a loop track and on-site storage capacity of 40,000 metric tonnes of sand, this will be SES’s ninth and largest terminal on a network that spans North America, from Ft. Nelson, B.C., to Three Rivers, Texas."
Hawaii Gov. Neil Abercrombie in late January announced the release of more than $28.3 million in capital improvement project funds administered by the state Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism (DBEDT). More than $13 million will go toward improvements to Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii (NELHA) facilities (pictured below) on Hawaii Island, home of the Hawaii Ocean Science & Technology Park.
In addition to more than $9.6 million for new roads, NELHA will get more than $2.3 million for a seawater system upgrade and $1 million (in addition to $3 million in federal funds) for renovation of the NELHA Alternative Energy and Biotechnology Incubator. The funds released by Abercrombie also included more than $5 million in renovations and repair's at Foreign-Trade Zone No. 9 on Oahu, including the creation of more office space at its Import-Export Step-Up Incubator.
NPR in January ran a series of reports profiling “The Great Plains Oil Rush.” For more, see our own coverage here, here and there.
Westinghouse enthusiastically welcomed the decision late last month by the Polish government to adopt its new program for nuclear power, which will pave the way for the construction of the country’s first nuclear power plant, based on the company's AP1000 reactor. The program corresponds with the aims of the European Commission’s proposed energy and climate objectives to be met by 2030.
The first of four AP1000 units is nearing construction completion in China, and four additional AP1000 reactors are in the earlier stages of construction in the U.S. Contracts for another eight AP1000 units are expected to be placed in China shortly. Westinghouse currently is in discussions with several other European customers in the selection of the Westinghouse AP1000 plant, including customers in the UK and Bulgaria.
“The Government of Poland and Polska Grupa Energetyczna SA (PGE) should be commended for their thorough consideration and preparation in taking this historic decision to begin the country’s nuclear program," said Jeffrey Benjamin, Westinghouse senior vice president, Nuclear Power Plants.
In December, NaturEner, which owns and operates three wind farms in Montana, sued San Diego Gas & Electric, a subsidiary of energy conglomerate Sempra Energy, for breaching contracts to invest in the Rim Rock wind farm. The lawsuit also seeks to prevent the utility from reneging on its contractual promise to buy the renewable energy generated at the facility.
According to NaturEner, SDG&E had agreed to invest approximately $285 million in the 189-megawatt Rim Rock wind farm and to purchase renewable energy credits as part of its obligation under California law to use renewable power. SDG&E has been purchasing renewable energy credits from Rim Rock since the project began operating 16 months ago. But in December the utility informed NaturEner that it would not honor the deal, "wrongfully claiming that the company had not satisfied some of the provisions of the contracts, mostly related to the protection of eagles and other birds."
NaturEner's lawsuit, filed in Montana District Court in Toole County, argues that the utility's actions are motivated by buyer's remorse, because of the falling price of renewable power. The complaint states NaturEner's belieft "that SDG&E is using the Avian Conditions as pretext for escaping its contractual obligations."
In late January, a Montana judged issued a temporary restraining order blocking the utility from canceling the contract, pending a hearing on Feb. 14.
FMI, the engineering and construction advisory firm, this week released its Q4-2013 Construction Outlook. The forecast predicts 2013 to end with 7 percent growth for the construction industry as a whole. Among the highlights: "After a booming return in 2012, power construction slowed to just 2-percent growth in 2013. However, the industry is expected to grow an additional 5 percent in 2014 to reach $101.4 billion."
Apparently a new corporate campus isn't quite enough to contain ExxonMobil's growth. The Howard Hughes Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Woodlands Development Co. announced in December that Exxon Mobil Corp. had signed leases for approximately 478,000 sq. ft. consisting of an entire office building and a portion of a second office building at Hughes Landing (pictured), a 66-acre mixed-use development situated on 200-acre Lake Woodlands. The Woodlands team is developing the two Class A office buildings, each approximately 300,000 square feet, along with an adjacent 13-story, 800,000-square-foot parking garage.
“We are very pleased to welcome ExxonMobil as a tenant in Hughes Landing, only a short distance from their new campus,” said Paul Layne, Executive Vice President of Master Planned Communities for The Howard Hughes Corp. Hughes Landing on Lake Woodlands is planned to include up to 11 Class A office buildings, shopping, dining and entertainment, a Whole Foods Market®, an upscale hotel, state-of-the-art fitness center and up to 800 multi-family residences. The first office building, One Hughes Landing, was completed and almost fully leased in only 10 months. Given the strong demand, construction and leasing is already underway for Two Hughes Landing, with a spring opening planned.

A December report from the Government Accountability Office on coal tract management by the federal Bureau of Land Management found that the BLM could enhance the appraisal process, more explicitly consider coal exports and provide more public information. Since January 1990, the BLM has leased 107 coal tracts. Revenues from federal coal leases have generated about $1 billion annually in recent years. In fiscal year 2012, about 42 percent of the 1.05 billion tons of coal produced in the United States came from coal tracts leased under the federal coal leasing program. | 2019-04-23T12:05:05 | https://siteselection.com/theEnergyReport/2014/feb/energy-matters.cfm |

Bandon-By-The-Sea : I Don't Like Spiders and Snakes . . .
I can only do so much of the heavy tearing out of drywall and pulling wood trim off of windows and closets.
So, I always like to have an easier (physically) job to work on while my old body takes a break from the heavy labor. Today I am going to start cleaning out this little shed in the back yard so that I can put my table saw in there.
It always amazing me how some people live.
Looks like someone was sleeping in here at one time!! Yikes!!
This picture is for all my friends back in Utah!! LOL!!
I can't believe what you can tackle. I was impressed at the demolition you did on the basement of the house in Utah. That was nothing compared to what you are doing now! | 2019-04-25T00:45:00 | http://bandonhomerenovation.blogspot.com/2017/06/i-dont-like-spiders-and-snakes.html |
Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome, a form of Leukodystrophy commonly known as AGS, is a genetic disorder that mainly affects the brain, immune system and skin. AGS is one of more than 50 known Leukodystrophies. Leukodystrophies are a group of rare, progressive, genetic diseases that affect the brain, spinal cord and often the peripheral nerves.
Each type of Leukodystrophy is caused by a specific gene abnormality that leads to abnormal development or destruction of the white matter, or myelin, of the brain. The myelin sheath is the protective covering of the nerves. The nervous system cannot function normally without myelin. Each type of Leukodystrophy affects a different part of the myelin sheath, resulting in a range of neurological problems.
The mutations of seven different genes are associated with AGS. These seven genes include TREX1, RNASEH2A, RNASEH2B, RNASEH2C, SAMHD1, ADAR1, and IFIH1.
Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome is listed as a rare disease by the Office of Rare Diseases of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome affects less than 200,000 people in the US population. This neurological disease occurs in all populations worldwide, although it is almost certainly under-diagnosed. As of 2014, roughly 400 cases of AGS were known, and just over 120 cases had been reported in medical literature so far.
How does AGS affect the individual?
Usually within the first year of life, individuals affected by Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome (AGS) experience an episode of severe brain dysfunction (encephalopathy). This can typically last for several months. During this phase of the disorder, symptoms can include inconsolable crying, extreme irritability and feeding difficulties. Affected individuals may develop intermittent fevers in the absence of infection (sterile pyrexias) and may experience seizures. Over time, individuals with AGS slowly lose their ability to function due to the loss of previously attained milestones.
Many affected by AGS also show evidence of slowed growth of the brain and skull. As a result, many develop an abnormally small head size (microcephaly). In this phase of the disorder, white blood cells and molecules associated with inflammation can be detected in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). CSF is the fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system). These abnormal findings are consistent with inflammation and tissue damage in the central nervous system.
The encephalopathic phase of Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome leaves permanent neurological damage that is usually severe. Medical imaging reveals deterioration of white matter in the brain (leukodystrophy). Most people with AGS have profound intellectual disability. They also have significant neuromuscular problems including muscle stiffness (spasticity), involuntary tensing of various muscles (dystonia) especially in the arms, and weak muscle tone (hypotonia) in the trunk.
About 40 percent of people with AGS have painful, itchy skin lesions called chilblains. Chilblains usually develop on the fingers, toes, and ears. These puffy, red lesions are caused by inflammation of small blood vessels. They may be brought on or made worse by exposure to cold. Vision problems, joint stiffness, skin mottling and mouth ulcers may also occur with this disorder.
As a result of the severe neurological problems usually associated with AGS, most people with this disorder do not survive past childhood. However, some affected individuals who have later onset and milder neurological problems may live into adulthood.
Although there is currently no cure for AGS, the symptoms can be managed to ensure the best possible outcomes. With proactive, comprehensive medical care the symptoms of ALD can be managed and give the individual the best quality of life possible.
How do you get AGS?
AGS is a genetic, or inherited, disorder. It is also classified as an autosomal recessive disorder. This means that if both parents are carriers of the disease, each child they conceive will have a 1 in 4 chance of developing AGS.
When both parents are carriers of a specific mutated gene, such as those for AGS, their children have a 25% chance of being affected by the disease, a 25% chance of neither being a carrier nor affected, and a 50% chance of being an unaffected carrier, just like their parents. See illustration below.
Could other children in the family also have AGS?
If both parents are carriers of AGS, each child has a 1 in 4 chance of being affected. To determine if other children in the family are affected by or carriers of AGS, it is best to consult with your genetic counselor or your child’s physician.
AGS is difficult to diagnose since many of the symptoms are similar to those of other disorders. Diagnosis is made based on the clinical symptoms of the disease. Characteristic brain abnormalities that can be seen in an MRI brain scan can also help in diagnosis.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), taken using a “spinal tap,” can also be tested for increased levels of a specific immune system cell (a lymphocyte), which indicates a condition known as chronic lymphocytosis. These cells are normally only elevated during infection, so that lymphocytosis without evidence of infection can be used as an indicator of AGS. CSF may also be tested for elevated levels of a substance known as interferon-gamma, which can also support a diagnosis of AGS.
What are the different forms of AGS?
There are two forms of the syndrome: an early-onset form that is severe, and a late-onset form that has less impact upon neurological function. Most newborns with Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome do not show any signs or symptoms of the disorder at birth.
No matter what form of AGS an individual is diagnosed with, optimal care is of timely importance. The Leukodystrophy Care Network (LCN) was established to provide individuals with the best quality of care at specialized centers across the country.
For more information and to find a Leukodystrophy Care Center nearest you, please visit the Leukodystrophy Care Network page.
The early-onset form affects about 20 percent of babies affected by AGS. They are born with a combination of features that include an enlarged liver and spleen (hepatosplenomegaly), elevated blood levels of liver enzymes, a decrease in blood platelets (thrombocytopenia), and abnormal neurological responses. Their jittery behavior and poor feeding ability mimic a congenital viral infection.
Babies with later-onset AGS begin having symptoms after the first weeks or months of normal development, which appear as a progressive decline in head growth, weak or stiffened muscles (spasticity), and cognitive and developmental delays that range from moderate to severe.
Is there a treatment for AGS?
Although there is currently no cure for AGS, symptomatic treatment is beneficial.
With proactive, comprehensive medical care, affected individuals can avoid unnecessary suffering and complications to have the best quality of life possible. For more information, visit the Leukodystrophy Care Network page.
Depending upon the severity of symptoms, children may require chest physiotherapy and treatment for respiratory complications. To ensure adequate nutrition and caloric intake, some infants may require special accommodations for diet and feeding.
Seizures may be managed with standard anticonvulsant medications. Children should be monitored for evidence of glaucoma in the first few months of life, and later for evidence of scoliosis, diabetes, and underactive thyroid.
There are some clinical trials going on for Aicardi-Goutières Syndrome aimed at finding new methods for treating and ultimately preventing or curing AGS. To learn more click here to see a list of clinical trials for AGS.

If you're gonna cheat, cheat smart, like an Oxford maths professor who has revealed how he used the world's first wearable computer to beat the roulette tables of Las Vegas back in the 1970s.
In an interview with New Scientist, Oxford mathematician Doyne Farmer explains that, as a graduate student, he used a small computer secreted about his person to shift the odds in his favour. Or, cheat, depending on how you look at it.
"Their model divides the game into two parts: what happens while the ball rolls around the rim of the wheel and then falls, which is highly predictable, and what happens after the ball starts bouncing around, which is chaotic and hard to predict. Because the first part is predictable, Small and Tse were able to calculate roughly where the ball would begin its erratic bouncing and therefore in which part of the wheel it was more likely to land.
"Using a subtle counting device similar to Farmer's, the pair was able to predict in which half of the wheel the ball would fall in 13 out of 22 trials. In three trials, the model predicted the exact pocket. That is equivalent to taking the odds from 2.7 per cent in the house's favour (on European roulette wheels) to 18 per cent in the player's favour. That is a very small number of trials, so they then confirmed their technique via 700 trials using an automated camera system, which would be too conspicuous to use in a casino."
Farmer, however, is going to publish his own research, which used calculations based on air resistance rather than Small and Tse's model, which uses rim friction. | 2019-04-24T04:23:33 | https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2012/05/how-an-oxford-professor-turned-roulette-odds-in-his-favour/ |
Large amount of money is needed for professional consultants and services.
This is one of the common disbelief about automation in data center that you need a large staff of experts and various types of services to start automation in data center services. With a commonly available automation tool your technical staff can easily start the automation progress and within few days can start production. This as simple as it looks you don’t need long scripts, coding, or any kind of special development.
There is no need of evaluating whether your staff is talented enough to handle all the projects you have. IT staff is not removed by automation, instead it frees the staff from some of the important repetitive tasks. Once free from such tasks they can concentrate on other important and logical working processes which will be helpful in development of business.
Automation is not for increasing complexity but it eased down many processes. Another common misconception about data centers automation is that it is not for all the processes. Automation offer flexibility and it can automate whole process or few steps within a process, whichever suits you better. Also in both the ways you can add checkpoints at suitable intervals to make it more simple.
Automation works in such a process that it will increase productivity and won’t change your process significantly. A successful automation tool will help you to automate and arrange all your existing process taking care of the operational measures which are followed in your company.

Flossing matters. Flossing will keep me healthy. Flossing is of the utmost importance!
But, I might not floss tonight.
Tonight my grandson lies sleeping in the guestroom.
I will sleep with him so that he won’t wake in fear.
His mom and dad are wide-awake – keeping watch over baby brother.
First a fever, sudden seizure, breathing stopped, baby brother is limp and blue.
CPR! Ambulance! Emergency Room! Life and Death in the balance.
But my grandson, sleeping sweetly, does not know how close we came to death.
He does not know how scary it is for us because we do know how close.
I rushed to hospital to wait, to help…..oh, if only I could.
To be there for the answer, no matter what it was.
To see my son – a man, a father – look so frightened, so in need.
Into his heart to make strong and brave, my son, a father.
If I could give him that…well that would be more than almost anything I had ever given.
Fall silently and embarrassedly from his eyes.
What could I offer, but love?
And a mother’s promise that everything would be okay.
How many times have I said those words?
Never knowing if they are true.
Hoping, please, yes, let it be okay.
Sleeping grandson dreams with a little smile on rosy lips.
He does not know how scared the adults were.
He is having an adventure.
Food from a vending machine.
A late night ride with grammy and grampy.
No pajamas packed, he sleeps in his favorite superhero undies and rumpled T-shirt.
I look at his sweet face, so free from fear and I know that flossing takes too long.
Of hope and rainbows and everything will be okay.
I will sleep with him so that I won’t wake in fear.
I have no time to waste. I will not floss tonight.
First and foremost, I am a mother and grandmother. I formed my opinions about life at an early age and they haven’t really changed much since then – I believe war does not create lasting solutions, love will be the real revolution, and the human heart can expand until it holds love for the whole world. I have been a teacher, a newspaper columnist, a bank teller, a house cleaner, an executive director of a non-profit dedicated to education advocacy, a diversity trainer, AIDS activist, a group facilitator, and a waitress. Whatever it took to raise 5 kids and remain true to my values. I can’t carry a tune, but I love to sing and don’t know any steps, but I love to dance!
I have always used writing as a way to reflect on my own life and as a way to examine life’s big questions. I have just started blogging recently. Mostly I have been concentrating on fiction and poetry.

• Economics did not start as a general social discipline concerning wealth, but as a consequence of the industrial revolution. An important historical event, it had a glorious development for over two centuries, but essential conditions and connotations began to change a few decades ago. Contemporary economics is very different than the economics of the Industrial Revolution. We live now in a Service Economy.
• This implies that the economic theories and analysis based upon the classical industrial framework needs a serious, fundamental reappraisal. Many economists have long agreed that macroeconomics in particular is in a crisis. In addition, there are no clear economic explanations why after 1973, the rate of growth in GNP terms, in the “industrialized countries”, has declined from an average of 6% or more to 2% or less. What are really the causes for the recent crises? There are many explanations, but they are only partially convincing.
• We propose that some basic reference issues need to be reconsidered: What is economic value and how is it produced today? What is productivity and how is it measured? Do the main indicators that are used today still reflect the reference to the industrialized manufacturing system? We still calculate value-added on the basis of the remuneration of production factors (cost of machines and labor for an automobile) and productivity measures (the possibility to produce two cars instead of one in the same time period), but all this is less and less relevant.
• Classical theory divided all economic activity into three sectors (agricultural, industrial-manufacturing, services). But today services (as a consequence of technological development) have become the main production factor in ALL activities, accounting in total for 70 to 80% of all economic value produced (regardless of the way it is accounted for).
• Granted that services as we now know them could not exist in the absence of tools and equipment, and vice-versa, the development of the modern Service Economy implies that there has been a reversal from manufacturing to services as the main contributing factor for the generation of economic wealth.
• Services began to make a significant contribution to the generation of wealth about 80 years ago with increasing investments in R&D. Services play a more and more important role within any manufacturing activity for control, planning, security, etc. Services are essential for storage, distribution, logistics, and maintenance.
• The outcomes of service systems and products are used over a period of time, so often their full cost is not known at the time of sale. Here the UTILISATION value over an extended period of time becomes a crucial determinant of real performance up to and often including the last step of disposal, which is, in fact, an ex-post production cost.
• It is essential to also remember that for over a century after Adam Smith, economics emphasized the supply side (how to “produce wealth”); but for the last century, in particular from the time of Keynes, it has concentrated on demand — first in its solvable version, and then extended more and more into its insolvable version, hence the present financial crisis.
• The service economy implies in any case, first of all, an understanding of the supply side.
• Concerning the present indicators of “value added”, such as GNP, more and more of it measures in fact “deducted value” (linked to scarcity produced by the industrial system itself, under the form of reparations, reconstructions, depollutions, etc.). On the other side, by enhancing performance, technology and communications essentially act as services, where the results need to be measured through specific indicators which are only partly accountable in the “value added” system. It is clearly obvious that the accounting of the wealth of nations has to be deeply revised.
• I have suggested in various publications two main possibilities: the first is to adopt indicators integrating into economics other social disciplines (sociology, demography, psychology, etc.); the other — remaining exclusively in the field of monetarized systems, but incorporating the concept of utilisation value in the service economy, using analogue methods of calculation or evaluation similar to those of insurance companies to assess the value, risk and uncertainty associated with future events, for which they collect a premium.
• In any case, in the old industrialized countries, there are daily hundreds of articles and papers on the hope of generating a new wave of “traditional” growth — the optimists speak of 2 or 3% growth — within the same traditional frame of reference, i.e. the classical industrial revolution perception. No vision has yet emerged calling for something practically and intellectually new and invigorating. The future is preparing something much better, and this is bound with the need for rethinking of economics — for a new and better understanding of the Wealth of Nations. | 2019-04-18T18:48:18 | http://cadmusjournal.org/article/economic-theory/updating-macro-economics |
hE WAS A LOADER IN A-43.tank. there are pictures in HCNS.
I will see if we have the original at the Museum. For some reason his death hotice said 66th. But few working on your request so will have more later.
He is pictured in front of a tank. The name of the tank was "Mein Fraulein."
George O'Bryan, the 66th Unit Representative saw your post and checked "C-66", a book on that company and he found Edward a replacement who came into C-66 in January 1945 after the battle at Steinwald (16 Jan 45). George did not know him as George was a guest of the Germans (a POW) when Edward came in. He did not stay with C Company very long as he was transferred to A company of the 43rd Tank Battalion in February. That is all that I noted in the book about him. That book will give you information on what the company did. If you're interested in the book I can get you the information on how to get a copy.
So many more details than I ever knew before. Thank you so much. Now I know dates and companies so I can keep researching. Any other information is greatly appreciated.
There are other mentions of his name on rosters and as one liners of visiting friends after the war.
transferred to A-43 in February. He may have been in the 66th briefly, but in April he was in a tank.
in another message, he may have been transferred in February.
battalion, especially anything having to do with Co. A.
Thank you so much Mike. These are great links. And now I know to search out the 43rd. That is great. So much more than I ever knew in such a short time.
I was just wondering where is the picture with him on the tank? I have one picture of him in his dress uniform but that is it so it would be great to see him on the tank!
Hi Secrit, I thought that two of the links I sent you had him standing with his buddies in front of a tank.
I will try the links.
there and the name is in yellow.
Thank you so much for the links. I found the picture of him next to the tank. Thank you so much. | 2019-04-20T19:01:05 | http://12tharmoredmuseum.com/mb/Default.asp?forums=12th%20Armored%20Division&topic=850 |
What the heck is that Big Ugly Thing!
I’ve always been an advocate for using towerbusters in as many locations as necessary due to their ability to neutralize cell towers, the fact that their easy to hide, and they are super economical. Every now and then I decide to gift a place that is difficult to get within a quarter of a mile so I make a larger device with lots of crystals, copper coils, magnets, etc. that will not draw any attention.
This object has plants imbedded into the top portion giving the impression of an old flower pot with several unattractive plants that managed to grow in it.
Most people would not be inclined to to investigate something that looked like this especially the average elitist thug.
Hey Louis. Your thing looks interesting. Can you give more detailed information about what it has eaten?
louis, i dig your hidden in plain sight type device. my son calls that gilley-izing, after the cloth weed covered suits the armymen wear. one time i screwed some dead branches and a dead palmetto leaf to a big hhg i had to put in the woods next to space wing 49 in my town. 49 is a signal corps underground base that is very close to my house.
i see in the sat images of alfonzo that haarp still works in tallahassee. maybe we can meet there this summer, since it is about halfway 'tween you and me.
Pekka: My hopes are that I got it close enough to a REXNAD weatherball in Mississippi for a lunch entree, time will tell.
Jackson: I think it’s a great idea for us to meet up this summer so we can discuss strategies, etc. I’ve finally learned how to shellack the attacking bad guys with precision each time, and I have you to thank for my progress. It feels wonderful to be able to take the next step up as an etheric warrior and understand much more about the true significance of our life’s mission. | 2019-04-25T14:54:36 | https://forum.orgones.co.uk/t/what-the-heck-is-that-big-ugly-thing/1132 |
Pin it! Should I set a yoga pose goal?
My new year's resolution was to learn to push up to handstand. A few months into it, I realized it was a bit of a lofty resolution considering that my handstand wasn't that sturdy to begin with (read: extremely wobbly, often tipping over into wheel pose). It was like just learning to ride my bike and then deciding I should ride in the Tour de France. (Here's an article explaining why that probably won't happen for any of us.) Oops.
So, whatever, this might be a New Year's resolution that takes a couple years or who knows, maybe I'll get there by the end of the year, but the most important thing is the journey. I know that sounds like a cheese fest, but hear me out. Physical progress wasn't a surprise to me because it's basically guaranteed, as it is any time you mindfully practice something often. But the emotional factors - the highs and the lows, the sweat, the falling down, the determination, the injuries, learning to be gentler on myself.... It's all such a good process. And that's the point.
I mean we read all the time about yoga not really being about the poses, that it's about something deeper. A deeper understanding of yourself. But the poses are the vehicle that get you to that something deeper.
So it's not the New Year, but if you haven't already, I encourage you to set a goal. Set a physical goal. Maybe skip the time limit. But know in the back of your head that it's not about the final pose in its full expression. It's about the personal growth, the strength of your will and dedication, and a testament to how well you listen to your body. | 2019-04-26T01:49:19 | https://www.yogabycandace.com/blog/setting-goals-in-yoga |
Lottner had the best win of career defeating Belinda Bencic in round 1 and in 2 sets no less. Now she’s lined evenly with Pliskova the Lesser. I have to go all the way back to 2016 to find the last time Lottner made it past round 2 in a clay tournament. Pliskova the Lesser is not a great player by any means. She is used to playing a much higher quality of player. Even with that higher level of competition her numbers are much better. +3.4 games on average at the ITF/Challenger level vs only +.87 for Lottner. I like Pliskova, but I don’t love it. Half a unit on Pliskova.
Swiatek is a brilliant young player who loves the dirt. She’s 35-6 the last 2 years on the surface with an average game of +5.8. That’s insane. Kuzmova is very good, but this is not her best surface. She has a great serve that could sustain her, but Swiatek should win this match. Pricing looks good. Pass.
The battle for arguably the most pitiful season to date is on! Rodina is 2-10 and Lapko is 2-7. Lapko does love the dirt thought. She’s 20-6 at lover levels with an average games of +2.77. Rodina is 9-7 with average games of -.5. Lapko should be the favorite and should win this match. She’s a good parlay piece.
I’m struggling to figure out why Kudermetova is the underdog here. Peterson won a lower level event last year, but that was really all she did on clay. She hasn’t played any good tennis this season. She’s 2-5 in her last 7 matches. Kudermetova won a title a few weeks ago and had a solid clay season herself last year. This is another bet I like but don’t love. Kudermetova is just getting better with each match and I think she can win this match. Half unit on Kudermetova.
One of these woman is a good player and the other is Sachia Vickery. Vickery has played 14 clay matches since 2017. She is 4-10 in those matches. Sachia has had knee problems for over a year now and I’m sure the sliding around on clay is murder for those knees. Zidansek was 10-4 at the WTA level and 38-9 at lower levels. She had a hold+break of 116 in those 14 WTA matches. She is and should be the clear favorite and outclasses Vickery in almost every way on this surface. Zidansek is a great parlay piece and I’ll even put half a unit on -4 games.
Paolini made a comeback win in round 1 after dropping her first set to Di Lorenzo. She’s played a lot on clay already this season as this is her 5th clay event so far and even won a lower level event. During those tournaments she faced a competition with an average rank in the high 300s. This is not the case today. Arruabarrena is a solid clay player at the WTA level, but at this event she takes her game up a level. She is 21-5 on these courts having won the event once and made the finals twice. She’s never been knocked out before the quarterfinals. She wins this match and will be my parlay partner for Zidansek with a half unit on -3 as well.
The numbers above and at lower levels support this line. Linette isn’t great, but she is a WTA level clay player. Sharma was 20-3 with a +4.1 averages games, but it was against an average rank faced of 707. Linetter hasn’t done much of anything of note since making the final in Bol last season. Sharma won a lower level event, qualified for Charleston and played 2 tough 3 setters all in the last 40 days. I was leaning towards Sharma, but I need a better price and this is a better price than it opened. The market has taken Linette money and this line is about 20 cents more expensive. Congratulations to all those who achieved closing line value. Pass.
I don’t understand why the market respects Schoofs so much on clay. She’s 30 years old and this is her first WTA level main draw appearance on the red dirt. At lower levels she was an underwhelming 24-22 with an average games of +.3. Errani has been a good clay player at the WTA level the 2 years. She only played 6 matches at lower levels, but was 6-1 in those matches with an average games of +6.1. Why is this lined so closely? Normally I’d worry about Errani’s age, but she’s only 1 year older than Schoofs and she even has some positive history here having made the quarterfinals twice. Give me Errani for a full unit. | 2019-04-21T19:19:33 | https://deepdivemedia.co/tennis/wta-lugano-amp-bogota-day-4 |

Not surprisingly, house cats are actually the most common cat “breed” of all. Only about 10% of cats are of official breeds – the so called pedigreed or purebred cats. The “moggies”, as they are affectionately called, are the ones you are most likely to meet. Their ancestry is mixed, but this does not make them in any way inferior to purebreds.
She also had a very good memory. Once my uncle pulled her by the tail and she never forgave him. Uncle even came to bring her fish, but she turned her back to him and the fish, even though she loved no food more than fish. The message was loud and clear. Animals have memory and feelings.
If you are looking for a new cat among ordinary house cats (if there ever was such a thing), you’ll probably notice there are kittens everywhere. This is because most cats are kept indoors – but not all. Also not all indoor cats are neutered or spayed. And so they breed and the cat owner eagerly tries to find homes for the kittens.
When you are looking for a kitten, do not take one that is under 12 weeks of age. Kittens younger than this are not yet ready to leave their mothers, they need to socialize a bit more with other cats. If you take the kitten too young, it may end up shy, timid, even aggressive. Also its health may not be very good.
Hold the cat for a while to see how it reacts to human touch. When you look at it, it should have a healthy coat, its eyes should be clear, it’s nose should not be runny – and check the other end too. The bottom should be clean – any signs of diarrhea are not good.
And in every case have a vet check your new kitten before bringing it home, especially if you already have other cats. You would not want your new kitten bring any diseases to your other house cats, would you?
Check how the cat reacts to noise – especially if your family has children. It the cat is very timid, then maybe it is not the best for a noisy household. If, on the other hand, yours is an adult household, then this cat might be good for you.
You might consider taking a cat from a shelter. If you do, search for a shelter that specializes in pet adoption. They give the cat a health check and also evaluate the cat’s character before putting it up for adoption. You can talk to the people who have been taking care of the cat you are considering on taking, and hear about its behavior and character. There are so many wonderful house cats just waiting for their forever home in animal shelters. A house cat does not need to be a kitten to fit well into your family. The main point is it is used to people.
If a stray cat comes to your door, you should check if it has a microchip in its neck. You should also be sure the cat does not belong to someone else – check the newspapers and missing pet notes in the neighborhood. If you take a stray cat to your home, the owner may appear one day, and you should be ready to give the cat back. If the cat is clearly feral, it may be too wild to be a pet.
Before you take a cat you should really consider the fact a house cat lives approximately 12 years – some considerably longer.
You should understand it is a long time commitment: you need to feed the cat, take it to regular vet-checks, and make sure it is taken care of during your holidays. It needs to be groomed, especially it is a long-haired cat. It needs company, and all the more so if it is your only cat. Be prepared to play with it, and show your affection to it regularly.
And please have your cat neutered / spayed. An unneutered female cat can have 2-3 litter per year, and this means a lot of kittens during a cat’s reproductive age. You would not want to add to the misery of abandoned, starving or mistreated cats. The best would to have an indoor cat – the cat faces many risks outdoors: injuries, fights, diseases. Its life span is a lot longer indoors.
If you need to give your cat away, do not abandon it. It will not survive long on its own. Try to find your cat a new home, and if you are not successful, please take your pet to a no-kill shelter that is ready to give it time to find a new home.

Lavender pinkish kitty - which color is this?
go to the end of the page to do so!
This morning Daddy played with us. Someone gave him as a Christmas present a “laser pointer” and he seemed to like it a lot. We have been discussing amongst ourselves about the red fly that comes out of the pointer. We have not quite managed to define the species of the fly, but we strongly suspect (after managing to drop an old encyclopedia to the floor, and reading about insects) that it is some kind of a firefly. Or Lighting Beetle . Or lighting Ferrari, rather, considering the color and speed of it. Never have I seen a faster fly in my life. So it is quite understandable why Mommy asked Daddy if he knows how to play with the pointer responsibly, and not point it to our eyes. I can only imagine what would happen if a firefly would fly to our eyes with such speed!
So - Daddy points the pointer to the floor, out comes the lighting Ferrari fly, and begins to run on the floor. We, of course, run after the said fly. Much fun. Nice contrast to sleeping on the sofa all day.
Then Daddy points the red Ferrari to furniture (amazing how it obeys his orders). We love the fly on the furniture, so at this point we really begin to take the thing with all the seriousness it deserves. We run like nuts after it, jumping high, climbing, stalking, making somersaults, throwing pillows to the floor, patting the spot where the red flyt vanishes (because mysteriously is always vanishes just as we reach it). It seems the fly is simply too fast for any of us, and we do hold our speed and quick reflexes in high regard. So if a fly can outfly us, it has to be a true Ferrari.
You see I have heard the Ferraris are a fast species. Mommy and Daddy watch something they call F1 from the picture box, and the voice that speaks from the picture box is always applauding how fast the Ferraris are. (Don’t understand the speeding flowers, though. A fast Lotus makes no sense to us).
After chasing the Ferrari fly on the furniture, Mommy appeared, mumbled something under her breath, and lifted the pillows and remote controls etc. we had managed to get off the couch in our search for the fly.
So the fly is on the wall. We jump, we reach, we use our claws to get a better grip. Yet the Ferrari fly escaped from the wall too. Daddy, on the other hand, did not manage to escape from Mommy, when she saw the wallpapers. She did the only decent thing a Purrson can do to protect cat food from flies. She threw the pointer to carbage. And now Daddy sulks.
I hope Mommy and Daddy will speak to each other soon again, but I do side with Mommy. She protected our food, after all. We have trained this particular Purrson well. | 2019-04-21T19:09:34 | https://www.cat-breeds-info.com/house-cats.html |

I know that every man that is willing to pay the price can be a success. The price is not in money, but in effort. The first essential quality for success is the desire to do--to be something. The next thing is to learn how to do it; the next to carry it into execution. The man that is the best able to accomplish anything is the one with a broad mind; the man that has acquired knowledge, that may, it is true, be foreign to this particular case, but is, nevertheless, of some value in all cases. So the man that wants to be successful must be liberal; he must acquire all the knowledge that he can; he must be well posted not only in one branch of his business but in every part of it. Such a man achieves success.
It is my opinion that with the right kind of training every man could be a success. It is really a shame that so many men and women, rich in ability and talent, are allowed to go to waste, so to speak. Some day I hope to see a millionaire philanthropist start a school for the training of failures. I am sure he could not put his money to a better use. In a year's time the science of practical psychology could do wonders for him. He could have agencies on the lookout for men that had lost their grip on themselves; that had through indisposition weakened their will; that through some sorrow or misfortune had become discouraged. At first all they need is a little help to get them back on their feet, but usually they get a knock downwards instead. The result is that their latent powers never develop and both they and the world are the losers. I trust that in the near future, someone will heed the opportunity of using some of his millions in arousing men that have begun to falter. All they need to be shown is that there is within them an omnipotent source that is ready to aid them, providing they will make use of it. Their minds only have to be turned from despair to hope to make them regain their hold.
When a man loses his grip today, he must win his redemption by his own will. He will get little encouragement or advice of an inspiring nature. He must usually regain the right road alone. He must stop dissipating his energies and turn his attention to building a useful career. Today we must conquer our weakening tendencies alone. Don't expect anyone to help you. Just take one big brace, make firm resolutions, and resolve to conquer your weaknesses and vices. Really none can do this for you. They can encourage you; that is all.
The man with grit and will, may be poor today and wealthy in a few years; will power is a better asset than money; Will will carry you over chasms of failure, if you but give it the chance.
The men that have risen to the highest positions have usually had to gain their victories against big odds. Think of the hardships many of our inventors have gone through before they became a success. Usually they have been very much misunderstood by relatives and friends. Very often they did not have the bare necessities of life, yet, by sheer determination and resolute courage, they managed to exist somehow until they perfected their inventions, which afterwards greatly helped in bettering the condition of others.
Everyone really wants to do something, but there are few that will put forward the needed effort to make the necessary sacrifice to secure it. There is only one way to accomplish anything and that is to go ahead and do it. A man may accomplish almost anything today, if he just sets his heart on doing it and lets nothing interfere with his progress. Obstacles are quickly overcome by the man that sets out to accomplish his heart's desire. The "bigger" the man, the smaller the obstacle appears. The "smaller" the man the greater the obstacle appears. Always look at the advantage you gain by overcoming obstacles, and it will give you the needed courage for their conquest.
Do not expect that you will always have easy sailing. Parts of your journey are likely to be rough. Don't let the rough places put you out of commission. Keep on with the journey. Just the way you weather the storm shows what material you are made of. Never sit down and complain of the rough places, but think how nice the pleasant stretches were. View with delight the smooth plains that are in front of you.
Do not let a setback stop you. Think of it as a mere incident that has to be overcome before you can reach your goal. | 2019-04-22T17:08:48 | http://infonewsline.com/pages/categories/show_article.php?cur_page=0&cat_id=23&article_id=453 |
My music is based on the delicacy and colourfulness of my instrument. I do not play any new types of musical genre; I only follow my own path and improvise and write music. I cannot see differences between musical styles and tendencies, so I play folk, classical, rock, blues, jazz, and improvisational music. | 2019-04-18T19:05:25 | http://www.min-tanaka.com/wp/?m=201111 |
Hybrid sales increased not too long ago as awareness over environmental harm from car emissions grew. In the last couple of years, though, car makers have backed away building to feed this market. With the recent steep drop in gas prices, consumers have been more willing to spend their money on traditional gas powered less efficient cars rather than on hybrids or EV models. One car maker, Lexus, however has remained committed to manufacturing hybrid “green” vehicles.
Two of the vehicles that Lexus sells the most include the NX class and RX class, which are both hybrids. Sales of the RX 450h hybrid are up 34 percent this year, while sales of the NX 300h hybrid are up 24 percent. Roughly one out of every ten vehicles that Lexus sells is a hybrid, and the company doesn’t plan to slow down production of these models any time soon.
Lexus also stands out from the rest of the competition by offering hybrid versions of all of its best-selling car models, as well as a hybrid-only model in the CT 200h. As other car manufacturers move away from hybrids, Lexus has been able to maintain steady sales of its hybrid models. This trend is expected to continue, although other car makers may start focusing on hybrids again when gas prices begin to increase.

Chop Suey is a rock musical that follows the story of a Chinese American girl's struggle to find her voice. The musical was written by Nobuko Miyamoto and Benny Yee, and was commissioned by Mako, the director of the East West Players, in 1980. The musical was the first project of Nobuko Miyamoto's multi-ethnic performing arts organization Great Leap, reflecting its mission, at that time, to promote Asian American performing arts.
Another major contribution Miyamoto has made to Asian American theatre was Chop Suey (1980), a musical theatre piece she co-created with Benny Yee (who wrote the music). Mako had encouraged her to write a musical, and the show included a number of actors from the East West Players. The show toured at colleges and parks along the coast of California and the Pacific Northwest.
In her book Asian American Culture on Stage: The History of the East West Players (2013, p. 106), Yuko Kurahashi describes the musical as "a tongue in cheek rock opera that dealt with familiar images of Asian American life in a new and satirical fashion."

One year into their term in office, the Obama administration's record on human rights has been a major disappointment.
Harder to defend is Obama's continuation of the Bush administration's policy of arming and training security forces in Saudi Arabia, Oman, Egypt, Jordan and other dictatorial regimes in the region.
During his highly anticipated address in Cairo last June, Obama failed to praise his autocratic host, Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. He also invited leading critics of the regime, including secular liberals and moderate Islamists, to witness his speech. On the other hand, he refused to criticize the Mubarak regime, acknowledge its autocratic nature, or address any concern over its thousands of political prisoners -- even when pushed to do so in a BBC interview. Indeed, Egyptian grassroots pro-democracy group Kefaya chose to boycott the speech, demanding that Obama show his commitment to democracy in deeds, not just words. Obama's foreign aid budget includes over $1.5 billion in unconditional aid to the Mubarak dictatorship. And Washington didn't publicly express concern when Egyptian police attacked American human rights activists attempting to deliver relief supplies to the besieged Gaza Strip last month.
Most of the opposition to Obama's escalation of the war in Afghanistan has been based on cost and the dubious prospects of victory. But there is concern that the government for which Americans are expected to fight and die is a serious abuser of human rights. Not only did U.S.-backed Hamid Karzai steal the most recent presidential election, but his cabinet includes a number of notorious warlords who have engaged in serious crimes against humanity. Furthermore, U.S.-backed Afghan security forces have engaged in gross and systematic human rights violations, and U.S. bomb and missile attacks killed hundreds of civilians in Afghanistan and neighboring Pakistan since Obama assumed office.
Similarly, U.S. forces remain in Iraq, and billions of dollars support the sectarian regime despite ongoing violations of human rights by Baghdad's rulers. The recent dismissal of charges against U.S. Blackwater mercenaries, who massacred 17 unarmed civilians in Baghdad's Al-Nusur Square, and the Obama administration's refusal to extradite them to face justice have also raised concerns regarding the U.S. commitment to basic human rights.
Elsewhere in the Middle East, the Obama administration rejected calls by Amnesty International and other human rights groups to suspend military aid to Israel following its use of U.S. weaponry against civilian targets in last year's war on the Gaza Strip, which resulted in more than 700 civilian deaths, over 300 of whom were children. Even worse, Obama has pledged to increase military aid over and above the more than $10 billion provided to the Israelis by the Bush administration. The Obama administration called on Israel to freeze expansion of its colonization efforts in the occupied West Bank and threatened to cut planned loan guarantees to the Israeli government if it continues to refuse. But Obama still rejects conditioning direct aid and has similarly refused to call on Israel to withdraw from the its illegal settlements, as required under international humanitarian law and confirmed through a series of UN Security Council resolutions.
When the UN Human Rights Council investigation led by Richard Goldstone documented war crimes by both Hamas and the Israeli government -- confirming previous investigations by Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, and others -- the Obama administration rejected the commission's findings, calling them "deeply flawed." Rather than challenge the content of the meticulously documented 575-page report, U.S. officials instead issued strong but vague critiques. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice was particularly critical of the report's recommendation that Palestinians and Israelis suspected of war crimes should be tried before the International Criminal Court. "Our view is that we need to be focused on the future," she argued.
The human rights community was initially pleased when Obama appointed Michael Posner, cofounder and director of Human Rights First, as Assistant Secretary of State for Human Rights. However, Crowley took the lead in quashing the Goldstone Commission report, insisting it "should not be used as a mechanism to add impediments to getting back to the peace process." Ironically, just weeks earlier, the Obama administration argued during a UN debate on Darfur that war crimes charges should never be sacrificed for political reasons.
The Obama administration has shown a lack of concern for democracy and human rights outside the Middle East as well. Washington initially raised objections to the coup in Honduras that ousted democratically elected president Manuel Zelaya. But then Obama -- in opposition to virtually the entire hemisphere -- recognized the November elections that took place under a censured media, widespread political repression, and a boycott by pro-democracy forces. The administration also pledged to continue sending over half a billion dollars of aid annually to the Colombian regime, despite its notoriously poor human rights record. It even signed an agreement that allows U.S. forces to be stationed at seven military bases across that country. Though ostensibly the focus is to curb the drug trade, such aid has also been used in broader counterinsurgency efforts that have serious human rights consequences.
Rejecting calls by liberal Democratic members of Congress, leading human rights groups, Pope Benedict XVI, and most of the international community to participate, the Obama administration decided to boycott the UN Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance in Geneva. And most disturbingly, the Obama administration decided to continue the Bush administration's policy of remaining one of the few nations in the world to refuse to sign the international treaty banning landmines, completing its review process in secret without allowing for any input from human rights organizations.
Despite all this, there have been some gestures in support of individual human rights activists. For example, in an unprecedented move, the White House hosted the 2009 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Award, with Obama personally honoring this year's recipients, Women of Zimbabwe Arise, who have been struggling for human rights under the repressive Mugabe regime. The White House also intervened on behalf of the 2008 winner, Western Saharan nonviolent activist Aminatou Haidar, as she verged on death from a hunger strike following expulsion from her country by Moroccan occupation authorities. The Obama administration has failed, however, to demand that Morocco honor a series of UN Security Council resolutions and a World Court ruling allowing the people of Western Sahara the right of self-determination.
To Obama's credit, there is now a subtle but important shift in the U.S. government's discourse on human rights. The Bush administration pushed a rather superficial structuralist view of human rights. It focused, for instance, on elections -- which can easily be rigged and manipulated in many cases -- in order to change certain governments for purposes of expanding U.S. power and influence. Obama has taken more of an agency view of human rights, emphasizing the rights of free expression, particularly the right of protest, and recognizing that human rights reform can only come from below and not through imposed means.
In the short term, however, Obama's failure to more boldly address human rights concerns has alienated much of Obama's progressive base of support. The right wing, meanwhile, disingenuously portrays Obama as retreating from his predecessor's supposed support for democracy and human rights. Although the Bush administration provided even more assistance to governments engaged in human rights abuses and used pro-democracy rhetoric largely as a ruse for empire, Obama's lukewarm support for human rights has enabled right-wingers to seize the moral high ground. As a result, the perceived weakness of the Obama administration's human rights record raises important ethical and political questions. | 2019-04-24T06:28:42 | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/obamas-grade-on-human-rig_b_435719 |
