The thing about the Washington Nationals is they didnt need that much help.Without question, 2015 was a disaster of a season, after many projected last years Nationals to be like this years Cubs. The clubhouse at some point became toxic, and that seemingly played a role in the Nationals falling short in their pursuit of a few of their offseason targets.But as much as the Nationals needed a culture change, that was almost as easy as saying goodbye to manager Matt Williams. And a year ago, the Nationals finished with basically the same run differential as the New York Mets. The Nationals remained a talented ballclub, and Bryce Harper makes for a heck of a starting point.So to make it clear: The first-place Nationals didnt come out of nowhere. They were supposed to challenge the Mets for the National League East title. That being said, the Nationals division lead is up to six games. They have the second-best run differential in baseball, and theyre on a 97-win pace. The club is playing extraordinarily well, and Harper hasnt even been Harper; as good as he has been, hes off last years pace. Looking at the Nationals record, you wouldnt know it.To some extent, you have to give credit to new manager Dusty Baker, who has long been one of the games most effective unifiers. And when a team is succeeding, there tend to be dozens of different supporting factors. This years Nationals have been healthier. The pitching has been a little better. Yet on the offensive side, three big surprises stand apart. Two holdovers and one free agent have given the Nationals the boost they needed.

EIB proposes to ditch funding fossil fuels
The world’s biggest public bank, the European Investment Bank (EIB), has proposed to ditch funding fossil fuel projects.
The EIB published on Friday 26 July its draft energy lending policy, which proposes a major switch in its lending policy, in reaction to climate crisis. If this policy draft is accepted by EU finance ministers in September, this would be a significant step forward in the campaign for a fossil free Europe.
The danger and the injustice of summer energy poverty
As temperature gages hit 40°C across Europe this week, terrifying heatwaves are becoming the new normal. But we are not all equal in the face of extreme weather, writes climate justice campaigner Clemence Hutin.
Last summer, a shocking heatwave seemed to dry up and set alight our continent before our eyes. This year we see this terrifying pattern repeating.
Declaration - we all have a right to energy
At the Right to Energy Forum, over 100 activists, trade unionists, campaigners, and people from all over Europe came together in Brussels to debate, unite, and demand energy solutions for all. This is their unanimous declaration:
Climate not prioritised enough in EU five year agenda
Heads of state and government have set priorities for EU cooperation over the next five years at a summit in Brussels today – but have not gone far enough in prioritising action on the climate emergency, reacted Friends of the Earth Europe.
Friends of the Earth Europe called for a bold vision and action for transformational change to tackle climate and ecological breakdown and inequality.
Jagoda Munic, director of Friends of the Earth Europe said:
National energy plans fail on socially fair energy transformation
Today’s European Commission analysis of Member States’ draft ten-year plans for climate and energy confirms a big climate fail, according to Friends of the Earth Europe. The EU's 2030 renewables and energy efficiency targets — already insufficient — will be missed if Member States do not improve their plans.
EIB must stop funding fossil fuels - 70 civil society groups
Ahead of a meeting of the EU bank’s Governors in Luxembourg, 70 civil society organisations, think tanks and academics across Europe have called for a fossil-free European Investment Bank (EIB) in a joint statement released today.
As EU Finance Ministers gather in Luxembourg as Governors of the EIB to discuss this year’s priorities for the bank of the European Union.
EU elections: Europe needs urgent and massive transformation
New MEPs have an awesome responsibility - no less than the future of the planet
by Jagoda Mu
Leaders fail climate, sustainability, change test at Sibiu
Future of Europe debate concludes without action at Sibiu EU summit
Europe’s prime ministers met today in Sibiu, Romania, for a largely symbolic summit intended to renew commitment on the ‘issues that really matter to people‘.
Sibiu summit – Europe and climate need transformational change
As Europe’s prime ministers meet tomorrow in Sibiu, Romania, to shape the future of Europe, the EU’s next five-year priorities and long-term climate goals, Friends of the Earth Europe urges them to grasp the nettle of transformative change.
Renewables rise again in Spain
On the April 5th 2019, the sun started to shine again in Spain - though the weather forecast predicted rain. The Spanish Government passed new regulations on self-consumption of renewable energy, that could unleash a renewables bloom.
The regulations, contained in a Royal Decree, bring to an end a four-year hiatus during which the country of the sun installed zero new renewable capacity.

A running account of the Augusta area’s basketball and football scene. This is the blog. Go to @AugBball on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for live coverage.
Matt Miller (USMMA): Preseason Interview with AugBall expert Glen Miller
Matt Miller (left) walks off with older brother Glen Miller (right) after the
3 point competition at the August U Alumni vs Eagles and Friends game in 2011.
Many of the college basketball teams and players I follow are tipping off their seasons in the next few days. Matt Miller, a former Augusta/GAIS Eagle and current USMMA co-captain, will officially start his senior season November 18th. Here his older brother Glen Miller asks Matt some that give us a view of Miller's approach to his final season, his goals, and his plans after he graduates.
Glen Miller's interview with Matt Miller (Senior, USMMA)
Give us some quick thoughts on how you’re feeling going into your senior season.
Matt: I am excited about this upcoming season. We have a great group of guys who are showing up every day motivated to put in the necessary work for a successful season. This is the most eager I have been to come to practice every day and motivate myself and others to improve in everything we do.
You're only a handful of points shy of passing the 1000 point mark for your time at USMMA…talk about what passing that milestone means to you.
Matt: It will be an honor to join the short list of players to break 1000pts and become one of the leading scorers in school history. I was a little upset that I didn’t break 1000pts last season. I didn’t feel good about my overall performance. However, I am enthusiastic about this year. This season is the first time since freshman year that I have had an off-season to develop. The past two years, I have detached from a ship and gone directly to practice. Often, this was a week into the official start of the season. For the first time, I am feeling good about my game heading into our first game.
Miller scored 953 points at USMMA in his first three seasons.
With the loss of a big time scorer in David Smith, how you will you guys try to fill that void?
Matt: It is always tough to lose one of your leading scorers. Nevertheless, I believe we are going to be a great team this year. Everyone has improved since last year. Also, I believe we will play smarter and have better execution on the offensive and defensive end.
Your team has gone through a bunch of changes going into this season (moving to a different conference and getting a new head coach). Talk a little bit about that.
Regarding the conference change, I am excited about it for a variety of reasons. First, in our previous conference, we were traveling out of the state most weekends and often played double headers. This type of schedule was incredibly tough physically and academically. The new conference is based in the NYC metropolitan area. Additionally, the style of game is something I am more used to playing against from HS. The conference is fast paced and guard based.
Regarding the coaching change, it is not ideal to have four different coaches in 4 years. However, the Interim Head Coach Denis Kazmir and new assistant Nathan Edick have done an excellent job thus far. Practices have been challenging, well organized, and competitive. Everyone is playing with enthusiasm and getting after it. Also, my Co-Team Captain Hunter Jones has done a great job getting the team on board and focused on what we are trying to accomplish this year.
What are your expectations going into this season? For you personally and as a team.
We are going to have a great season. Further, and most importantly, I believe we will continue to improve throughout the year. I think our culture of immediate gratification often only appreciates the final score and not tomorrow’s promise. It isn’t where you start, but it is all about where you end up. I firmly believe that this will be my best season and the team’s most successful season. However, I am looking even past my final year. My Co-Captain and I seek to create a new basketball culture at the academy that puts this program in a position to be successful for years to come.
A "Matt Miller" search in the search bar on the right side
of the screen will take you through many years of Miller
getting buckets on the high school and college levels.
Lastly, tell everyone about your experience at school like USMMA. What are your plans post-graduation?
3+ years ago, I would never have guessed the opportunities and development that this academy would make available to me. Studying in a marine engineering and shipyard management program, enduring a regimental lifestyle, and playing basketball have been the most challenging experiences of my life. However, this is not an experience I would trade for any other college experience. Often the most challenging things we do in life are the most rewarding. According to this, USMMA ranks #2 behind MIT, and ahead of #3 Harvard, in the highest median salaries of graduates.
During my time here, I have worked as an engineering officer in training on three different ships (250ft-1000ft) sailing to 18 different countries on four different continents. After four years, I will have worked for 300+ days and earned 177 academic credits. As a senior, I was appointed the Regimental Honor Board Chairman where I lead a staff of nine people in charge of maintaining standards of integrity as well as developing character and professional ethics at the Academy. Further, I am the president of the KP Investment Club and founder and president of a Fellowship of Christian Athletes club. All of these things have contributed significantly to my development as a person and leader.
Miller organizes and conducts the KP Investment Club every other week
meetings; and he authored this presentation for the year's first meeting.
After graduation, I plan on working as a marine engineer for a U.S. shipping company and taking a reserve commission as an officer in the U.S. Navy.
How much of a bad ass is your older brother Glen Miller? I know he taught you everything you know and you owe him a lot. Share some thoughts on him.
Haha you are my biggest fan, supporter, and a role model. Love ya brother, and I am proud of you.

Going Electric: Vehicles that are worth making the move
India has set a target of electric vehicles making up 30% of new sales of cars and two-wheelers by 2030. But the recent economic slowdown appears to have taken a toll on the electric vehicle plans. But the potential market is still huge, with India being the world’s biggest market for scooters and motorcycles; the next biggest market being China.
With the ever-growing pollution and bad air quality – and not to mention the continuous rise in fuel prices, more and more citizens are thinking about making the move to electric vehicles as they realize that going electric brings with it significant benefits; lower running costs, lower maintenance costs and pollution-free driving.
With manufacturers like Japan’s Suzuki Motors planning to launch an electric scooter in India by 2020, and Indian motorcycle makers Bajaj Motor and TVS Motor are also eyeing electric models, here are some existing models that are popular with consumers.
Okinawa i Praise
The scooter comes with a detachable lithium-ion battery that, according to the company, takes 2-3 hours to charge and gives a range of 160-180km. It is also equipped with features like geo-tagging, GPS, find my scooter, battery health and vehicle status, all of which can be accessed via an app on your Android smartphone.
Colours: Glossy Silver Black, Glossy Golden Black, Red Black
The Revolt RV400 is India’s first AI enabled motorcycle. It’s battery charges from 0-100% in 4.5 hours. In an all-new innovation, Revolt also offers four sounds in the motorcycle, all controlled through the MyRevolt App.
Colours: Rebel Red, Cosmic Black
Ather 450
A Bangalore based startup, Ather Energy launched the Ather 450 electric scooter which promises an acceleration of 0 to 40 kmph in just 3.9 seconds, a top speed of 80 kmph and a range of 55-75 km. According to the company, the 450 was designed from scratch to offer an exhilarating ride and a hassle-free ownership experience. The electric scooter promises some great unique features like a low centre of gravity, mono-shock suspension, front & rear disc brakes and perfect balance and a reverse mode.
Colours: White
ULTRAVIOLETTE F77
Sporting a bold design, the Ultraviolette launched the F77 in three colour variants. The bike is currently on sale only in Bengaluru while online registrations to purchase the motorcycle have opened. Deliveries are slated to commence in October 2020. The F77 is powered by a 25kW electric motor which produces 90Nm, making it the most powerful electric motorcycle currently on sale in India. Ultraviolette has DC fast-charging capability, giving it 50 minutes to charge up to 80% and 90 minutes for a full charge.

Where were internet access crusaders when Facebook stopped Korryn Gaines from streaming cops murdering her?
by Hari Ziyad
Featured, Politics, Race
The internet is already a hellscape of torrid anti-Blackness that routinely prohibits Black folk from accessing digital communication
-@HariZiyad
On Thursday, the Federal Communications Commission finally delivered its long-expected and devastating death knell to Obama-era Net Neutrality rules—policies supposedly put in place to ensure the internet remained on a level playing field with access equity. The repeal is likely to further impede the work of digital organizers for social justice and exacerbate economic disparities while allowing the massively rich to make even more money at everyone else’s expense.
The potential horrors of this repeal have been widely bemoaned on the Left. Many activists are even still attempting to marshal energies to encourage Congress to reinstate the rules, a use of resources that is extremely unlikely to have any success given GOP majorities in both the House and Senate. Ask any of these desperate progressives and they are likely to tell you that they fight against such odds because otherwise the internet will never be the same, soothsaying doomsday predictions about how those who need it most will be excluded from the web given the likelihood of having to pay for competitive internet speeds in the future.
But, for some of us, “the same” internet that these hapless souls are struggling so hard to protect was already a hellscape of torrid anti-Blackness, one which routinely prohibited Black people from accessing digital lines of communication in their greatest times of need. And never were the most horrific cases of impediments to Black folk’s internet access met with even a fraction of the uproar the repeal of Net Neutrality garners now.
RELATED: Comcast removed Net Neutrality promises the same day the FCC announced plans to repeal
On August 1st, 2016, 23-year-old Korryn Gaines was murdered in her Baltimore home by police after they forcibly entered in a professed attempt to serve a warrant for a minor traffic violation. Her five year old son, Kodi, was shot in the raid as she held him in her arms. Occuring at the height of #BlackLivesMatter, the general silence among the Left surrounding the case was revealing enough, but it was Facebook’s involvement in the shooting that continues to haunt me today, a morbid specter of what the whole world will conspire to do when a Black person dares to resist it to the point of violence.
According to the Baltimore Sun, authorities contacted the social media platform to request they deactivate Gaines’ account as she attempted to stream the raid on her home, and Facebook quickly complied. Within moments, she was dead, her baby now with a bullet hole through his tiny arm, and law enforcement’s version of the story—that she was a deranged woman who essentially brought her own death upon herself by not complying—easily became the narrative.
Of course, the practices that allow Black people to be kicked off a private platform like Facebook so that their murder can more efficiently be swept under the rug and those that allow Internet Service Providers to stack the deck in their own favor are different, but to what extent? Those who decry the repeal of Net Neutrality rules have often claimed that one of the more terrifying possibilities is how these actions might silence women and people of color. But when a Black woman who resisted the state was actually silenced online and these same people were nowhere to be found, can we really trust their commitment?
Facebook’s vile treatment of Korryn Gaines is not the only example of how the internet has never been safe for Black people who clash with the state, and our lackluster efforts to protect them. As Janisha Gabriel reminded in a post, “Oakland shut down the internet during Oscar Grant Protests. Twitter refused to trend Troy Davis name the night of his execution. Ads determine what websites you see now based on your browsing history and activist websites are constantly under attack, hacked, throttled, have DDOS attacks, rogue accounts, and have service canceled by their host.”
RELATED: The swift murder of Korryn Gaines, and the slow death of Black Millennials’ political imagination
There has never been an “open internet” for Black people, and the fact that there is far less of a mass who decry this reality than who launch into hysteria for any possible reality to come following the repeal is telling. When the world’s energies are focused on destroying and oppressing Black people, particularly the most marginalized among us, those whom this destruction hasn’t reached yet seem to always be okay with it. Then we wonder why no one ever stops the ball before it begins to roll, as if such contemplation doesn’t render ourselves non-entities with no agency. When will we commit to stopping the ball ourselves?
It’s worth noting that the Net Neutrality rules in question have only been in place since 2015. Though loosely defined principles had much of the same effect, these principles were violated numerous times before the official establishment of these rules, as well as many times after. Which is to say the systems allowing widespread abuses of the public for the benefit of a few are already firmly in place, and have been for centuries.
Our job is not to mitigate the harm caused by these systems, although that can certainly be a strategy. Our focus should always be to undermine these systems completely, and that takes a relentless dedication to combating their abuses especially when they are most likely to harm those with less resources or social protections than us.
After the repeal of the Net Neutrality rules, Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg released a statement claiming, “An open internet is critical for new ideas and economic opportunity — and internet providers shouldn’t be able to decide what people can see online or charge more for certain websites.” Police officers out to assassinate young Black mothers shouldn’t be able to decide what people can see either, but here we are, with Sheryl claiming the moral high-ground without ever addressing her hand in the fact that they do—a hand covered in Black blood.
At some point, we have to decide if the ground upon which our morals lie is designed to be a safe place for the Black margins or for white liberals. The comfort with which the latter can assist in the murder of the former and still believably claim to be righteous is the true impediment to access equity. When we answer for our mistreatment of Korryn Gaines the way we want the FCC and greedy ISPs to answer for their mistreatment of everyone else, only then can each person who deserves access to a world without abuse finally log into it.

So, anyway, we were invited over to a friend's place to watch a flick entitled Torso. We went expecting the legendary Italian giallo from 1973, starring the great Suzy Kendall and directed by multi-genre specialist Sergio Martino — trailer directly below — but, no: instead, we were served some Canadian TV movie from 2002 entitled Torso - The Evelyn Dick Story. Our friend has a lot to make up for.
Trailer to
Sergio Martino's Torso (1973):
Not that we knew this Torso here to be a TV movie; indeed, we knew nothing about the movie at all. But what is it about so many TV movies, even well-made ones, that makes them feel like a TV movie even if you don't know it's one? Despite the beautiful classic cars and period clothing, enough of both that a budget must have been present, Torso — The Evelyn Dick Story still felt, looked, smelt like a Movie of the Week. Not that we don't like Movies of the Week; we just tend to like them a bit older, more in the direction of tacky TV GILF like Moon of the Wolf (1972 / full movie) or Bad Ronald (1974 / trailer) or Killdozer! (1974 / trailer) or Wes Craven's hilariously bad Invitation to Hell (1984 / great scene). Torso — The Evelyn Dick Story is just a tad too "good" to truly be our cup of tea.
Torso - The Evelyn Dick Story:
Outside of Canada, the story of Evelyn Dick is pretty much unknown; in terms of true-crime murders, hers are relatively mundane in comparison to, dunno, the Moors Murderers or Dorothea Puente or even Caril Ann Fugate. Nevertheless: a husband murdered and reduced to a torso found in the woods by kids, a dead baby encased in cement in a suitcase, and a by-the-hour goodtime girl who slept with as many men as most men wish they had slept with women — no wonder the case was such a scandal back in '46-47, when Evelyn Dick sat at the dock. In the end, after a retrial, she was found not guilty of the murder of her husband, John Dick, but went to jail for the murder her baby son….
The real Evelyn Dick
As a TV docudrama of the case, Torso — The Evelyn Dick Story is worse than some and better than most. That isn't to say that it isn't well made and interesting, it's just that it is also annoying superficial at times and, as perhaps appropriate to the case, leaves as many questions open as it does semi-answer others. And not just the question of who actually murdered John Dick, a question that [officially, at least] has never truly been answered. In Torso, however, doubt is definitely cast upon the guilt of Evelyn, whether for the murder of her husband or child, as either instigator or perpetrator. In fact, if we are to believe the tale as told in the movie, she was probably innocent of the death she was convicted of: that of her baby son.
As directed by the well-employed TV director Alex Chapple, Torso — The Evelyn Dick Story adds a sheen of neo-noir for much of the film, complete with the hardnosed inspector, Inspector Wood (Callum Keith Rennie), a beautiful but [possibly] heartless killer, Evelyn Dick (Kathleen Robertson), and cheap blasts of stereotypical saxophone music in the background. (The saxophone is such a cliché that it almost induces involuntary laughter whenever it toots.) Wood stays hard-nosed throughout the movie, but Evelyn proves to move beyond her cigarette-enveloped face to become something more than just some fem fatale.
To what extent the movie follows the book it is based on — the last book written by Marjorie Freeman Campbell (1896-1975), likewise entitled Torso – The Evelyn Dick Story — we know not, but as the movie unfolds one definitely gets the impression that Evelyn Dick paid for either the crimes of others, or was the lone scapegoat for crimes committed in cohorts. (The "truth", needless to say, will never be known.) As the titular Evelyn Dick, the Canadian actress Kathleen Robertson (of Nowhere [1997 / trailer], Psycho Beach Party [2000 / trailer] and I Woke Up Early the Day I Died [1998 / opening scene]) is vacuous in a way that is almost aggravating, but on the other hand, as the film progresses her very emptiness does well at reflecting a damaged, slightly brainless girl-woman under the manipulative thumb of parents from hell.
In the end, however, Evelyn remains a cypher. If, indeed, her parents were so manipulatively evil; and if, indeed, she experienced the molestations of her father; and if, indeed, her parents killed her child son unbeknownst to herself; and if, indeed, she so loved her daughter; and if, indeed, her parents literally frame her for the death of her son, what sense loyalty, what sense of debt, what extent of manipulation could be so strong as to make Evelyn watch silently as her mother, Alexandra MacLean (an excellently duplicitous Brenda Fricker), walk free and easy out of the courthouse with Evelyn's daughter, Heather Dick (Hannah Lochner of Dawn of the Dead [2004 / trailer]), without finally opening her mouth?
And it is the discovery of the cement-encased dead son that outs Inspector Wood as possibly a man more interested in his record of success than in uncovering the truth, for the film makes it clear that although all the evidence found during the second search of the house was known not to have been there during the first search — ergo: it was planted, most likely by the parents — he never pursues the "why" and simply lets it paint Evelyn into the corner. Once again, what matters is not that justice gets served correctly, just that it gets served.
Now, decades after the fact, whether or not justice got served or shortchanged is probably irrelevant. And Evelyn, to some extent, was undoubtedly involved in her husband's death. But like all murders, you can take the "facts" and spin them in many different ways, especially so many years after the fact. (Cf.: Alex Jones, flat-worlders, Kavanaugh, and just about any conspiracy theorist you meet.) The spin of Torso - The Evelyn Dick Story is basically that not everyone who should have paid, did. But the movie fails to cast any light upon Evelyn's reasons for her action(s) or inaction(s), from the why of the marriage to the why of her silence.
Torso — The Evelyn Dick Story, a good-looking, tightly acted TV movie that feels like the TV movie it is, displays a convincing if clean sense of time and place, and is populated by a convincing cast with too little to do. Hardly the worst thing you can watch when bored, but a far cry from being exceptional, either as a conveyor of history or as a cinematic experience. You can watch this one with your grandparents.
John Dick (1906–46)
Like Lizzie Borden (19 July 1860 – 1 June 1927) in the US, Evelyn Dick was immortalized in verse in Canada, where children were once wont to sing:
You cut off his legs...
You cut off his arms...
You cut off his head...
How could you Mrs Dick?
Undoubtedly, were the crime one of today, the verse would instead surely be something like:
Tell us, Mrs Dick,
Why didn't you cut off his prick?

A Systematic Review of Core Outcomes for Hypospadias Surgery
Although the outcome of hypospadias surgery requires careful scrutiny, there is little consensus on what clinical outcome parameters should be considered essential as part of routine clinical practice. To understand the extent of variation in reported outcome measures, Pubmed was searched to identify outcomes in boys with hypospadias published in the English language from 2008 to 2017. Eligibility criteria were met in 268 publications. Outcomes were inconsistently reported and only 9 (13%) were reported in more than 25% of papers. Outcome studies describing younger boys were overrepresented. Urethrocutaneous fistula was reported in about 90% of publications that included boys aged <16 years. Among younger boys meatal stenosis, dehiscence, and urethral strictures were next most frequent. In the older age groups, an increasing frequency of cosmesis, meatal shape/location, and genital skin changes was described. Outcomes reflecting sexual health, erection, and relationship status including paternity were reported in those aged >16 years. The current study identifies the range of parameters that are measured to assess outcome after hypospadias surgery. The results can be used to promote the development of an age-specific core outcome set that can be applied as a standardized assessment tool in future routine clinical settings.

February 26, 2015 Christopher Butcher 1 Comment
The distance between North America and Japan is so huge, sometimes. This cover was dropped into my inbox today because I’m on Viz’s press list, and this is a cool-looking book, sure, but the description–it’s an adaptation of Richard III, sorta, by a very talented shoujo manga-ka named Aya Kanno–and the image immediately create a wonderful dissonance.
It’s unabashedly a queer image, two men intertwined, slightly sexual, but I think really it’s more that it’s not afraid to read as a little queer, or a little sexual, than that it’s aggressively either of those things. Shakespeare was all kinds of queer, if you squinted especially, but as a contemporary portrayal this is so wonderfully unique.
Moreover, we just don’t see comic covers like this in North America. We don’t. In our supposedly accepting, permissive society, homosexuality, or queer masculinity, is still so forbidden. This isn’t a strictly queer, or strictly sexual work. This is mainstream comics (in Japan at least), a literary adaptation. Meanwhile an original work with original characters that pushes the boundaries? People freak out. The Walking Dead gay kiss is the most recent example of that.
In Japan, which is nominally considered a ‘repressive’ or ‘restrained’ society, to have an image like this adorn a very popular manga from a highly regarded manga-ka, the latest in her series of work exploring the politics of gender, sex, and sexuality? Totes fine.
Anyway, I love this artwork, I love the idea behind it too. I am frequently glad for manga (and works in translation in general) for reminding me that the world is big and has different ideas in it than I might see every day. I would’ve liked to have compressed this down to 140 characters for Twitter, since it’s not that big a thought, but, here we are.

Cyberjaya News & Articles : Cyberview In Talks With Developer Partners To Build 500 Houses In Cyberjaya
KUALA LUMPUR, April 17 (Bernama) -- Cyberview Sdn Bhd is in talks with developer partners to develop a residential property with an estimated gross development value of about RM900 million in Cyberjaya.
Managing Director Hafidz Hashim said the project is expected to take off in the fourth quarter of this year as negotiations are still ongoing.
He said the phase one of the project would comprise about 500 units of houses which were specially designed for the middle-income earners.
"We will develop 40 hectares into a residential area and our prime target is the middle-income group," he told reporters after the signing of a memorandum of understanding with Teknopark of Turkey on the sidelines of the 13th Defence Services Asia Exhibition at the Putra World Trade Centre today.
Hafidz however declined to disclose the developer partners'' names and further details on the project.
Cyberview is the landowner mandated to spearhead the development of Cyberjaya dubbed "Malaysia''s Silicon Valley", an ICT and innovation-centric township integral to Malaysia''s Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC Malaysia).
On investment, Hafidz said Cyberview aims to woo close to RM3 billion investments from local and foreign investors this year.
"Last year, we attracted about RM3.2 billion investment, and I believe we can achieve about the same amount this year," he said.
He said Cyberjaya''s physical development has reached about 40 per cent and the company foresees that it would touch 70 per cent over the next three years.
"We are confident because currently foreign multinationals and local companies are showing keen interest to set up their operations such as the global service and delivery centres here," he said.
Currently, about 620 local and foreign companies are operating at Cyberview.

Wolverine: Endangered Species
Once roaming across North America, the wolverine is now a rare sight

Legacy effects
Wolverine mortality was a byproduct of wolf poisoning campaigns in the 1960s and 1970s, and trapping throughout their range had similar impacts on populations. “Wolverines are not geared for a quick rebound,” says Jason Fisher, a senior wildlife ecologist in Alberta. The species has a low fertility rate, and young have slim chances of survival because of the wolverine’s marginal existence.
Scientists, such as Fisher and Canmore-based researcher Tony Clevenger, have only recently started studying Alberta’s wolverine population. Clevenger’s work focuses on the effects of the Trans- Canada Highway, which bisects prime habitat in Banff and Yoho national parks. It appears as though roadways delineate individual wolverine territories, says Clevenger, fragmenting and effectively shrinking available habitat. “It’s more of a road avoidance problem than a roadkill problem. They tend to have boundaries on the edge of highways and they don’t cross them.”
Seismic shift
Northern Alberta’s boreal forest is increasingly home to a patchwork of seismic lines for oil and gas exploration. That’s bad news for wolverines, as the animal has been shown to avoid such areas completely. Fisher wonders if such areas provide better habitat for coyotes, a wolverine competitor. Meanwhile, Alberta’s wolverine population tends to stick to rugged, undeveloped alpine zones. Similarly, wolverines occupy the boreal forest of far northwestern Ontario, a vast, roadless area beyond the current limit of forestry operations.
In Alberta’s Willmore Wilderness Area, north of Jasper, Fisher detected 26 wolverines occupying 90 per cent of the area — drastically greater numbers than in the surrounding unprotected lands. This finding supports the importance of establishing corridors between patches of prime habitat to help create a viable wolverine population throughout the Rockies. “You need to look at the big picture,” says Canmore-based researcher Clevenger. “Knowing how wolverines disperse to isolated areas is really important to managing and conserving the species over the long term.”
Trapping records provide the best insights into wolverines’ historical and current distributions — a key first step in their management. The Alberta Trappers Association has partnered with the Alberta Conservation Association to build the province’s wolverine dataset. Trappers are helping biologist Doug Manzer collect wolverine DNA from non-lethal hair traps to assess the population. “Wolverines are not a target species for most trappers,” notes Manzer. They’re “an icon of the Canadian wilderness, and trappers want to see them on the landscape. For all of us, it’s just nice to know they’re there.”

Why Cisco Systems Acquired CloudCherry for CX Help
By: Zeus Kerravala | August 27, 2019
eWEEK NEW PRODUCT ANALYSIS RESOURCE PAGE: CloudCherry provides Cisco customers with a broader view of the customer journey.
With slot machines, getting three cherries typically pays off big. With Cisco Systems’ contact center business, the company needs merely one cloud-delivered cherry to win big by advancing its Cognitive Collaboration vision in its contact center solution.
This week Cisco announced its intention to acquire privately held CloudCherry to bring better customer experience management (CEM) capabilities into the Cisco Webex contact center. Founded in 2014, the Salt Lake City-based organization is one of many Cisco Investment portfolio companies. Cisco has an active investment arm that invests $200 million annually in startups in different stages of growth. Some of the vendors—such as CloudCherry—it brings into its portfolio, and others, such as VeloCloud, are purchased by competitors but provide Cisco with a strong return on its investment.
Go here to see eWEEK's list of Top Data Center Switching Companies.
Go here to see a listing of eWEEK's Top Predictive Analytics Companies.
CloudCherry Provides Advanced CEM Capabilities
For those not familiar with CloudCherry, the company has an advanced CEM solution that offers tools such as predictive analysis, sentiment analysis, survey capabilities, customer journey mapping and APIs. As customer experience has grown in importance for differentiation in the digital era, CEM has become a top initiative for CxOs. There are a lot of vendors that participate in the broader category of CEM, but CloudCherry’s nearest competitors are companies such as Qualtrix and Satmetrix, which were acquired by SAP and NICE, respectively, so it makes sense that it too would be snapped up.
Customer experience management is a red-hot topic, and Cisco will use CloudCherry to make its contact center solutions smarter. Improving customer experience is obviously broader than just the contact center, but it’s often the starting point for customer interactions. CloudCherry expands the number of unified channels businesses can use to connect with customers.
The scope of even the most advanced contact centers is limited to traditional communications channels such as email, chat, calling, web browsing and social media. CloudCherry adds early- and late-state contact methods such as paid content, direct mail, search, online displays, surveys, loyalty programs and more. This might make CloudCherry resemble a marketing tech platform like Selligent or Adobe, but the difference is that it only provides inbound interactions and not outbound, which is consistent with the way contact centers work.
CloudCherry Complements Cisco Contact Center
Cisco’s current contact center solution addresses purchase and service, while CloudCherry adds awareness, consideration and expansion phases. This gives businesses a much broader view of a customer journey. Without it, the contact center would have no visibility into what customers are doing in those specific phases, increasing the chance of customer frustration.
Predictive Capabilities Come to CEM
In addition to increased visibility and insights, the combination of Cisco and CloudCherry enables businesses to predict what customers will do next and make the experience better through AI-based analytics. Companies are generating massive amounts of data today, and people on their own can’t find insights in the information the way machines can. Cisco’s Cognitive Collaboration strategy is based on using AI to find those key nuggets that create differentiation through proactive and predictive support.
Also, the integration of CloudCherry into contact center creates a single data source that can be analyzed instead of analyzing the silos and then trying to correlate the information after the fact. Experienced data scientists might have been able to do that a few years ago, but not today with large volumes of information being created.
Cisco should have a good understanding of how CloudCherry works because it’s currently a customer. As a company, Cisco has always taken customer satisfaction seriously because it’s one of the bigger components of employee bonuses. During the past few years, it’s shifted from C-Sat (customer satisfaction) to NPS (net promoter score); during a briefing they told me CloudCherry has had a significant impact on raising its NPS score.
Cisco Remains 'Cloud First,' but not 'Cloud Only'
One last point: CloudCherry is a cloud-delivered service hosted in Microsoft Azure. Cisco continues to run the service in Azure and federate it with Webex Contact Center. However, customers of the on-premises or hybrid versions of the Contact Center solution as well as HCS customers will have access to the functionality. This is consistent with Cisco strategy; collaboration GM Amy Chang and other Cisco executives have reiterated that Cisco is “cloud first” but not “cloud only,” giving its customers a choice of deployment models. Also, Cisco fully intends to make the functionality available to other contact center vendors.
The customer experience era has arrived, and CxOs need to think broadly about this topic and make sure that they have a full view of what their customers are doing and saying. Any gaps in the customer journey will lead to frustration and the potential of decreased loyalty.

Pregnancy at 40 -- How realistic is it?
Why is it that some women wait until they are 40 to begin trying to conceive? Is it that finally their lives have settled down enough to contemplate children as the next step? Are they in a new marriage that they hope will be blessed with parenthood? Is the tick of the biological clock getting louder and louder? Are they feeling out of sync as some of their friends are anticipating grandparenthood? Or, as a recent New York Times article posed, do women who physically look much younger than their age actually believe their 40-year-old eggs are up to the challenge of conceiving a healthy baby?
Certainly there are many reasons and circumstances that cause a woman to try to become pregnant. But waiting until age 40 is risky, no matter what one’s motivation. Particularly worrisome is the belief that it’s just fine to wait until the time “seems right.” I would be the last person to advocate trying for a pregnancy when the timing is all wrong – that’s risky in a different sort of way, as the consequences of adding a new baby to an already stressful life can be devastating for all concerned. But if there is a guiding assumption that becoming pregnant at (or after) 40 is a breeze for a healthy woman, then we need to challenge that assumption.
Let’s start with the information most of us were given in eighth grade health class: females are born with all their eggs, as opposed to males who begin producing sperm at puberty and continue to do so into old age; neither old eggs nor sperm of older men are as healthy as those of younger adults. Defective sperm or eggs can be at the source of infertility, pregnancy loss, or congenital defects in newborns. The most healthy fertile years for women are in their twenties, when their bodies are mature, when their eating habits (hopefully) are healthy, when they can understand what they are reading about good reproductive health, and when they are capable of restricting behaviors known to harm developing fetuses, such as smoking, drinking, or substance use.
So how is it that some women reach their forties assuming that conceiving and carrying a pregnancy to a healthy birth will be a smooth process? Some of these women have forgotten their eighth grade health class lessons and haven’t brushed up in the intervening years; others have never initiated a discussion with their ob-gyns about fertility and the risks of first trying to conceive in their late thirties; and still others, who have done everything to keep their bodies supple and young-looking, believe mistakenly that their bodies contain young and healthy eggs. In fact, their eggs are aging, with higher risks for chromosomal abnormalities, and their hormone levels are progressing closer to those of menopause with each passing year. By the time a woman is 40, most doctors would agree that her chances of getting pregnant each month are approximately 5 percent.
But women are increasingly being influenced by the sensationalist magazines in the grocery store, the Hollywood stars celebrating birthday number 40 with a baby (or multiples) in arms, and the television coverage given to sex-symbol actresses who, at age 40, are embracing new parenthood. No longer are woman and their partners being guided by the factual information about aging eggs and infertility. Or aging eggs and pregnancy loss. Or aging eggs and birth defects. Now only a prolonged inability to conceive or unexpected news from prenatal tests may be what shocks them into conversations with their ob-gyns or propels them to an infertility clinic.
That is when they are likely to learn the news that the Hollywood coverage never revealed: that donor eggs, donor sperm or a surrogate may be necessary for a woman in her 40’s to have a baby. This then becomes a new pathway that some couples decide to pursue. And for couples with determination, energy, patience and a significant amount of money, they may yet be able to bring a baby into their lives. But others may be deterred at the immense disruption that medical, legal and financial efforts will introduce into their relationship, their health and their work lives. For those women and their partners who once believed it was possible to use Hollywood as their guide in matters of fertility, the wake-up call may have come too late. And with more and more domestic and international adoption agencies placing age limit restrictions on prospective parents, the feelings of loss become even more profound.
How can we move beyond this gulf of misinformation and move women and couples more realistically in the direction of planning for parenthood? Clearly it would help if the Hollywood new 40-something parents would come clean and be open about the extraordinary means (including financial) they have pursued to welcome children into their lives. It also would be an important medical contribution if ob-gyns and Planned Parenthood staff would routinely query their patients about whether and when they are thinking about conceiving. And if those same reproductive health care offices had literature about infertility and pregnancy loss on their tables that are too often crowded with parenting magazines, it might lend a bit of balance to the way women view the issues on which their doctors can advise them.
Women have worked far too long for reproductive freedom to be thwarted by an unexpected twist of fate in our late 30’s and early 40’s. We need to talk with our peers, to encourage balanced reading material in ob-gyn waiting rooms, to raise with our sons and daughters the issues we hope they remember from their health classes, to advocate for insurance companies to cover costs associated with infertility, and to remember that reproductive advances come with many costs at many levels that just may be too much for the prospective 40-something parent to afford.

CAWA secretary, Verity Cripps wins Consumer Protection Award
CAWA would like to congratulate Verity Cripps on her 30 years of voluntary service to consumers in WA. She richly deserves the Rona Okely Consumer Protection Award for 2006.
The article and photograph that follows, appeared immediately after the Awards in the Western Suburbs Weekly, and are reproduced here with the kind permisson of the newspaper and the journalist Pamela Medlen.
Price is right for shoppers’ friend
VERITY Cripps still has the first edition of the Australian Consumers’ Association magazine Choice, which sparked her interest in consumer issues.
The Floreat woman said she got a subscription to the magazine in the early 1960s.
“I liked to know what things cost and how things worked and how effective they were for the household,” Mrs Cripps said.
Her interest in consumerism grew and she became one of the founding members of the Consumers’ Association of Western Australia in 1975.
It was her commitment to the Association that earned her the Rona Okely Consumer Protection Award on Friday night.
Nominated for the award by a friend in CAWA, Mrs Cripps is very humble about her achievements and the way she slipped into the voluntary role.
“In recent years there has been so much legislation but 30 years ago there was not so much interest in consumers,” Mrs Cripp said.
“Consumers didn’t know what to do about it so we were really raising awareness as to their rights.”
“I have always felt that people are rather apathetic and some of that is because they don’t know how to complain,” Mrs Cripps said.
However times have changed and people were more likely to stand up for their rights as consumers now.
“Back then it was different; people were more concerned with the price of milk or a loaf of bread, now it’s more about safety, health issues and building disputes,” she said.
“People have always had these problems but weren’t aware what could be done about them.”
Mrs Cripps said that while many consumer services had been set up over the years, there was still work to be done in the field.
“Most other organisations are funded and we are very small beer compared to them,” she said.
“We are really a watchdog and spend more time making submissions on legislation.”
“I don’t want the organisation to die with me and we have had some good young presidents recently which is good, so I’ll hand over the reins some time,” she said.

On Discovering the Expansion of Europe. Interview with George D. Winius

Two Systems of European Expansion; a Tribute to George Winius
The Two Expansion Systems in the Atlantic
P.C. Emmer
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 April 2010, pp. 21-27
It was Charles Boxer who has characterized the struggle between the Portuguese and the Dutch about their respective positions in world trade as the First Global War. In summing up the results at around 1650 Boxer contended that the Portuguese had won in the New World, that the Dutch had won in Asia, while the two countries had reached a stalemate in Africa.
This conclusion is correct only within the political domain. In fighting the Portuguese and the Spanish, the Dutch, together with the British and the French, did not reach economic the limits of their expansion because of Iberian resistance, but because of the general demographic and economic constraints on overseas expansion at the time. These limitations allowed for the creation of two expansion systems, each with its own sphere of influence in the Atlantic. The Iberian system covered the South Atlantic and the Northwest European system the Middle and North Atlantic. Both systems had a similar structure and incorporated European ports providing European and Asian trade goods, trading posts in Africa and plantation areas and settlement colonies in the New World.
The Portuguese and the Dutch in Southern Africa. Some Comparisons
Robert Ross
During the first decade of the Dutch East India Company's existence, it made a number of vain attempts to drive the Portuguese out of their main base in East Africa, Mozambique island. Within a few years, though, the Dutch discovered that they could reach their destinations in the East more quickly by setting a course far to the south of Madagascar. Since they no longer needed to frequent the Mozambique channel, they saw no particular reason to dislodge the Portuguese from its shores. Except for one final Dutch attempt to capture Mozambique island, in 1668, the two imperial powers kept their distance from each other, at least in Africa. The Dutch did not even know the simplest details of the political or economic situation in East Africa, while Portuguese visitors to the Dutch sphere of influence in the Cape Colony were entirely those of transients and traders, particularly in slaves. They were not competitors, and therefore were not attempting to solve the same questions. Nevertheless, the problems with which they were faced on the African mainland were analogous, so that it is possible to make comparisons between their activities.
Warriors and Merchants
J.C. Heesterman
I should preface this paper with a cautionary note. It is not intended to parade as a full-fledged scholarly paper bringing new or little known facts. Nor does it aim at novel theories or interpretations. It does not even have its roots in the fascinating details and problems of Luso-Indian history per se. It only wants to propose a somewhat different, although not overly novel, perspective. This perspective is – not surprisingly – an indological one. My starting point is my concern with India's traditions of empire and imperial expansion. Given this concern, it seems quite logical to turn to the Portuguese as well as to the Dutch experience of and tangles with the tradition and practice of empire they obtained in the world of the Indian Ocean, where the subcontinent has always occupied a predominant position. The exercise is the more interesting since the Portuguese, and after them the Dutch, were each in their own way empire builders in their own right. They had to react to the imperial configurations that were coming about at the time of the Portuguese appearance in the Indian waters and that were being consolidated when the Portuguese were followed by their Dutch rivals. The experience and the reactions of both the Dutch and the Portuguese have something to tell us about India, as well as the other way around.
Mughal India and Central Asia in the Eighteenth Century. An Introduction to a Wider Perspective*
Jos Gommans
During the last two decades our historical ideas about the Mughal Empire have considerably altered. This change of attitude is due to two scholarly tendencies both of which have directed attention away from the Mughal court centres of Delhi and Agra. In an effort to illuminate the processes of Mughal decline, one approach has aimed to stress the emergence of eighteenth-century successor states which grew vigorously independent, but still remained under the sacrosanct umbrella of Mughal authority. Many studies of these new political configurations have seriously questioned the cliché de l'époque of a highly centralized Mughal polity, which now to have been faced with numerous limitations and ‘inner frontiers’. The disenchanting practice of permanent sedition and betrayal could never live up to the expectations of the Mughal ideal of harmony and legitimate obedience. In contrast to this view from below, another approach has tried to enlarge the scale by analysing the various ways in which India was incorporated into the world economy of the Indian Ocean. From this point of view Mughal India became the central part of a dynamic world system with various interactions and interdependencies between often highly urbanized and commercialized states.
The Economic Dynamics of Spanish Colonialism in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries
W.G. Clarence-Smith
The survival of the Spanish empire after the loss of the mainland American colonies is a neglected subject, and no part of it is more neglected than its economic features. General histories of Spain in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries rarely touch on overseas matters, although the colonies do occasionally appear centre stage, as in 1868, when the Cuban Creoles rose in rebellion; in 1898, when Spain lost most of her colonies as a result of war with America; in 1921, when the Berber tribes of Northern Morocco defeated the Spanish army; and in 1936, when General Franco and his coconspirators raised the standard of rebellion against the Republic in North Western Africa. But these references are episodic and essentially political, indeed military in nature. There is little structural analysis of what the colonies meant to Spain, least of all in the economic field.

Les commémorations se multiplient à plaisir. Mais encore que nos sociétés de la ‘communication’ génèrent à toute occasion des promenades guidées dans le passé, il serait naïf d'y voir pour autant un goût de la connaissance désintéressée ou une aspiration à la vérité. Au contraire, celle-ci est plus souvent malmenée que respectée dans ces manifestations qui visent l'histoire utile’, c'est-à-dire qui pratiquent assidûment le recyclage de l'histoire au profit d'une solidarité de groupe qu'il s'agit de raffermir. Renforcer la cohésion des families idéologiques ou des sensibilites politiques, là est le véritable enjeu des commemorations. Celles-ci constituent done avant tout des terrains d'affrontements. Ceci peut offrir l'occasion d'un approfondissement du savoir, mais là ne se trouve pas le but de l'exercice. Ici e'est la communication qui règne, véritable auberge espagnole où d'authentiques ouvriers de la connaissance se rencontrent aux côtés de discoureurs ou de publicistes au statut plus incertain.

Hizbullah and the Information War
On January 15 the UN's Special Tribunal for Lebanon is scheduled to issue indictments against a number of Hizbullah operatives for the murder of former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri in February 2005. All of Lebanon and much of the region is waiting in suspense that grows with each passing day.
The news that Hizbullah would be fingered by the prosecutors was first made public in July. Since then, Hizbullah chief Hassan Nasrallah has threatened repeatedly to set fire to Lebanon and perhaps Israel if Daniel Bellemare, the chief prosecutor dares to go forward. Given Hizbullah's track record of war, murder and intimidation, no one doubts that the Iranian-proxy force will keep its promise if it comes to that. Almost immediately after Hizbullah was named as the central suspect in Hariri's assassination, Hizbullah's ally Syria began negotiating a deal with Saudi Arabia, which serves as the patron of Lebanon's Sunni community. The goal of these talks is to get Hizbullah off the hook, "in order to preserve stability."
Bellemare made clear this week that he will not be influenced by politics in dispatching his duties to the law. If he is true to his word, then Hizbullah members will certainly be indicted for assassinating Hariri next month.
What this means is that the most attractive option for Hizbullah and its allies right now is to discredit the tribunal. To this end, Hizbullah has repeatedly characterized the UN tribunal as an Israeli and American plot. Syria has insisted that the Lebanese who testified before the tribunal gave false testimony.
While these allegations may have convinced their supporters, both Syria and Hizbullah know that the only effective way to discredit the tribunal is to coerce Hariri's son, Prime Minister Saad Hariri to disavow the tribunal and withdraw Lebanese governmental support for its proceedings.
Although such a move would probably have little impact on the tribunal's ultimate judgment, it might reduce the political impact of the indictments for Hizbullah in Lebanon.
And so according to Ha'aretz, Syrian dictator Bashar Assad and Saudi King Abdullah reached a deal in which Hariri Jr. will disavow the tribunal. In exchange, Hizbullah will agree not to murder him.
Hizbullah has not surprisingly announced its support for the deal. Hariri has given a series of contradictory statements that lend to the sense that he is trying to run down the clock. This week he met with Abdullah in New York where the Saudi despot is undergoing medical treatment. On Wednesday he travelled to Saudi Arabia for further talks.
In the meantime, just to underline its willingness to make good on its threats, last week Hizbullah had its affiliated trade union, the National Union for Labor Syndicates stage a protest against the government. As Hanin Ghadar at the NOW Lebanon news portal noted, in the days leading up to the terror group's coup in May 2008, it had its labor affiliates stage similar protests.
AND THAT brings us to the basic question of why is Hizbullah taking the tribunal so seriously?
What does it care if its members are indicted for murdering Hariri? This is a terror group that has always been perfectly willing to kill in order to get its way. And everyone knows it.
Hizbullah operatives killed Hariri because he was irritating Nasrallah and Assad with all his talk about Lebanese sovereignty. Then they killed parliamentarian after parliamentarian to deny Hariri Jr.'s parliamentary majority the power to form a government or do anything else without Hizbullah agreement. When even that was insufficient to force the government to slavishly do its bidding, Hizbullah carried out its bloody coup in May 2008 in order to take over effective control of the government and the Lebanese army.
So too, after the June 2009 elections, Hizbullah coerced members of Hariri's coalition to change sides and so prevented him from forming a coalition without Hizbullah receiving veto power over all government decisions.
And even if Hizbullah did care about what its fellow Lebanese think of it, the fact is that Hizbullah is not an independent actor. It is an Iranian proxy. And the Iranians have made clear that they do not care what the tribunal does. Iran's supreme dictator Ali Khamenei announced earlier this month that as far as Iran is concerned, the tribunal's judgments are null and void. In his words, "This court is a kangaroo court and every verdict it issues is rejected."
So again, why is Hizbullah so concerned about this tribunal?
Hizbullah is concerned because Hizbullah understands the power of symbols. No, its operatives will probably never be jailed for their crimes. But the tribunal is a symbol. If Bellmare dares to defy Hizbullah, then others might consider doing so.
On the other hand if Hizbullah is able to coerce Hariri to withdraw the Lebanese government's support for the tribunal and disavow its work, it will have demonstrated its strength and authority in a way that will deter others from challenging it.
Hizbullah's response to the specter of the Special Tribunal is not only interesting for what it tells us about prospects for Lebanon's future and for regional stability and peace. Hizbullah's response to the threat that its members will be exposed as Hariri's assassins teaches us interesting lessons about the nature of information warfare.
Information warfare is not simply a question of competing narratives, as it is often characterized in the West. Information war is a form of warfare whose aim is to use words, symbols and images to force people to take real action. These actions can involve everything from war to terrorism to surrender.
In closed societies, information warfare is used to cause people to rally around the side of the group conducting the information operation and to mobilize supporters to act against the chosen enemy. For instance, when its leadership is interested in inspiring terror attacks against Israel, the Palestinian Authority broadcasts around the clock incitement against Israel.

On May 8, 2001 a group of Palestinians from a village adjacent to the Israeli community of Tekoa in Gush Etzion got their hands on two Jewish children Koby Mandell and Yosef Ishran from Tekoa. The two boys were bludgeoned to death with stones. The details of the butchery are unspeakable.
The question is what can make human beings butcher children? How can a person hurt a child the way that their killers hurt them?
The answer is Palestinian television.
In the weeks before the murder, PATV (funded by foreign donors) broadcast doctored footage around the clock of what they claimed were atrocities carried out by Israel. They showed doctored images of mutilated corpses and claimed that Israel had mutilated and abused them. Israel and Jews were so demonized by these false images that after awhile, the Palestinians watching these shows believed that Jews, including Jewish children, were all monsters who must be destroyed and made to pay for their imaginary crimes.
This was an act of information warfare that in the event, led Palestinians to butcher Koby Mandell and Yosef Ishran.
As for information warfare aimed at Westerners, here too, the Palestinian Authority, like Hizbullah has a long track record of success. Journalists know that the PA has no compunction about kidnapping, arresting and beating up reporters. They do it to Palestinian reporters routinely. With their sure knowledge, Western reporters who come in to the PA recognize that if they want to be safe, they have to report stories that will make the PA happy.
For instance, after a television crew from Italy's Mediaset network broadcast footage of the PA police-supported lynch mob murdering and dismembering IDF reservists Vadim Nozhitz and Yosef Avrahami in Ramallah in October 2000, Ricardo Cristiani, deputy chief of Italy's RAI television network's Jerusalem bureau published an apology in the PA's newspaper Al Hayat al Jadida.
Among other things, Cristiani wrote, "We [RAI] emphasize to all of you that the events did not happen this way, because we always respect (will continue to respect) the journalistic procedures with the Palestinian Authority for (journalistic) work in Palestine and we are credible in our precise work."
Fearing Palestinian revenge attacks, Mediaset was forced to shut down its offices.
ramallah-lynch1.jpg
This week, Swedish and Danish police announced the arrest of four Muslim terrorists who were en route to carrying out a massacre at the Jyllands Posten newspaper. The attack was supposed to avenge the newspaper's publication of cartoons of Muhammed in 2005.
A US diplomatic cable leaked by WikiLeaks and published Monday by Sweden's Aftonbladet newspaper reported that Syria's Assad himself directed the information operation in 2006 that led to rioting against Denmark and Jyllands Posten throughout the Muslim world in 2006. Assad reportedly ordered Syria's Grand Mufti to incite his fellow imams to attack Denmark for publishing the pictures.
The Arab world's response to WikiLeaks shows just how powerful the incitement against Israel and Jews on the Arab psyche is. According to Hazem Saghiyah from the NOW Lebanon news portal, the Arab world was beset by confusion by the leaked US cables because Israel was not exposed as demonic.
As Saghiyeh put it, for Arabs who have come to believe that Israel controls the world through its satanic power, "these documents should have provided the decisive argument" against Israel.
The fact that it is the Arab leadership, rather than Israel that has been exposed as lying and two-faced, makes the Arab world writ large view the WikiLeaks operation as a huge Zionist conspiracy.
WHAT ALL of this shows is that information wars are not just about getting out the facts. Like kinetic warfare, they involve power plays, intimidation and the use of subconscious and visceral manipulation.
Israel has recently awoken to one aspect of information warfare. It has recognized the consequences of years of demonization of Israel in Europe and international organizations. But Israel has yet to awaken to the fact that it is a type of warfare and has to be countered with counter-information warfare.
Obviously this doesn't mean that Israel should begin acting like its enemies. But what it does mean is that Israel must begin using more hard-knuckle techniques to defend itself. It must begin targeting people's emotions as well has their minds.
For instance, when Israel is confronted by threats of lawsuits for acts of self-defense, it responds with defense attorneys. When the US was threatened with lawfare by Belgian courts, then secretary of defense Donald Rumsfeld responded by threatening to remove NATO headquarters from Belgium.
When Israel is accused of targeting Palestinian civilians, it responds by attaching legal advisors to combat units. What it should be doing instead is providing film footage of Palestinian children being trained as terrorists and exploited as human shields.
War is a dirty business. Information warfare is a dirty form of war. And if we don't want to lose, we'd better start fighting.

Cloudflare selling all domains at cost: “All we’re doing is pinging an API”
Kevin Murphy, September 28, 2018, 08:13:12 (UTC), Domain Registrars
Content delivery network provider Cloudflare has promised to sell domains in all TLDs at the wholesale cost, with no markup, forever.
The company made the commitment yesterday as it announced its intention to get into the registrar business.
Founder Matthew Price used the announcement to launch a blistering attack on the current registrar market, which he said is charging “crazy” prices and endlessly upselling their customers with unwanted, worthless products. He blogged:
why should registrars charge any markup over what the TLDs charge? That seemed as nutty to us as certificate authorities charging to run a bit of math. When we see a broken market on the Internet we like to do something about it.
we promise to never charge you anything more than the wholesale price each TLD charges. That’s true the first year and it’s true every subsequent year. If you register your domain with Cloudflare Registrar you’ll always pay the wholesale price with no markup.
For instance, Verisign, which administers the .com TLD, currently charges $7.85 per year to register a .com domain. ICANN imposes a $0.18 per year fee on top of that for every domain registered. Today, if you transfer your .com domain to Cloudflare, that’s what we’ll charge you per year: $8.03/year. No markup. All we’re doing is pinging an API, there’s no incremental cost to us, so why should you have to pay more than wholesale?
There are catches, of course.
For starters, the service is not available yet.
Price wrote that Cloudflare will roll it out gradually — for inbound transfers only — to its “most loyal” customers over an unspecified period. Even customers on its cheapest plans will get access to the queue, he wrote.
Eventually, he said, it will be available “more broadly”.
It will be interesting to see if the no-markup pricing could become available to non-customers too, and whether it sticks to its business model when its support lines start ringing and it becomes apparent the business is actually big ole cash vampire.
Cloudflare has been ICANN-accredited for several years, but it’s only been offering registrations to high-value enterprise customers so far.
My records show that it has not much more than 800 domains under management, all in .com, .net, .org and .info.
The announcement was made, perhaps not coincidentally, a couple days after CRM software provider Zoho made headlines when its 40 million customers were taken offline because its former registrar suspended zoho.com over a trivial level of abuse. In response to the screw-up, Zoho transferred the domain to Cloudflare.

Rubens Kuhl says:
Besides support costs, being a registrar comes with unavoidable liabilities. When their first customer that loses a domain sue them, they might want to take a fresh look at P&L for this service.
shaitaan says:
What about CC processing fees, CC fraud costs and customer service cost? If they don’t account for all that it means they won’t last very long or they’ll be subsidizing it with profits from other parts of their business. If it’s the latter then they’ll have to engage in the upselling too because otherwise there is no point in running this registrar business of their’s.
Steve Gobin says:
People that will register domain name with them or transfer domain names to them should check, once the registration or transfer is completed, if they are (still) listed as the registrant.
Michael D. says:
It will be a loss leader, but the story of “We’re just pinging” could make them one of the largest registrars in the world in a very short time period if executed properly.
Finally! What a good idea. They’ll make money on expired auctions and hosting.
Webmaster says:
Great early find, thanks for sharing.
I wonder how they will manage to take care of the basic support (trouble with transferring a domain name, parking, whois updating, etc…), and obviously there are already some strings attached (you can transfer only domains using Cloudflare, there’s a waiting line, etc…).
Even with that, it’s a great idea, let’s see how well they execute.
Mark Thorpe says:
Hopefully domain registrars will eventually lower domain name registration and renewal fees.
Domainers and end-users are overpaying for domain names. Paying more at some registrars than others.
At some registrars you have to buy a discount plan just to get domain prices the same as other domain registrars.
That is price gouging!
Frank Schilling says:
I hope they are successful because innovation is important for our industry; and anything which makes names more affordable and accessible is good for the free-internet. That said, I agree with the first two commentators. Eventually there needs to be a profit center or strategic angle otherwise why bother. Creating a full-service (fully featured) domain registrar is like building an airline. It requires passion, vision, and has a lot of moving parts that are expensive to maintain. Something, somewhere in that apparatus, has to make the money.
Jan Peeters says:
Of course this has nothing to do with innovation. And we all know that for CF it doesn’t matter whether you are on the “good” side or not. So this is (potentially) a black day for internet security.
This seems rather underhanded considering the close partnerships Cloudflare has with a number of registrars/hosts – which has helped CloudFlare achieve their growth.
While some registrars certainly do have very “healthy” margins others sell for pennies and barely scrape by, over simplifying the costs and processes of operating a domain registrar doesn’t help anyone in the industry and just encourages the race to the bottom and requirement to exploit user data in order to turn a profit.

Defence Select Committee Report
« Legislative Programme | Back to most recent briefing | Butler Report »
Asked if the Government agreed with the Defence Select Committee report out tomorrow saying that troop levels in Iraq would have to stay at their current levels until at least next year and it’s criticism of post conflict planning the PMS said that we had made it clear that our troop level would remain at its current level until the Iraqi security forces had the capacity to take over. That said we kept troop numbers under constant review. SHE said she had not seen the report and journalists should speak to the MOD about their response to it. In answer to further questions the PMS reiterated that we had always made it clear that troop levels were kept under constant review but the aim was to withdraw troops when it was felt that the Iraqi forces could cope with the situation and that security had improved.

Jeopardy episode on Palestine question causes uproar
Popular American game show Jeopardy has been plunged into controversy after a contestant was told she had the wrong answer after identifying Jesus’s place of birth, the Church of Nativity in Bethlehem, as Palestine.
The incident took place in round one of the game broadcast on Friday, when Katie Needle was given the clue: “Built in the 300s A.D., the Church of the Nativity”, under the category “Where’s that Church?”.
Needle, a retail supervisor, from Brooklyn, answered Palestine, but was told her answer was wrong.
One of the other two contestants, Jack McGuire, then buzzed in with the reply “Israel”, which host Alex Trebek accepted as correct.
Apparently @Jeopardy had a question today on The Church of the Nativity and when the contestant answered “Palestine,” it was deemed incorrect and the next contestant said “Israel” and it was counted as correct. @Jeopardy please explain.
— Deanna ديانا (@deannaothman) January 10, 2020
The Church of Nativity, declared a world heritage site, is located in Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank, which is internationally-recognised as part of Palestine.
Israel occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem in the Six-Day War of June 1967, in a move the international community has never recognised.
Christian pilgrims and tourists from across the globe visit Bethlehem throughout the year, specially on occasions like Christmas.
Jeopardy producers were not available for comment at the time of publication.
‘Inexcusable’
The episode was picked up by people on social media, with many criticising the show’s producers and host and demanding that they apologise.
Unacceptable!! Bethlehem is in the Palestinian territories which Israel illegally occupies (Katie Needle got the correct answer and was robbed). @Jeopardy owes an apology for endorsing Israel’s universally-condemned illegal takeover of Palestinian lands.pic.twitter.com/Ym99YziM4k
— Omar Baddar (@OmarBaddar) January 11, 2020
Omar Ghraieb, a Palestinian writer based in Gaza, told Al Jazeera that: “What happened is inexcusable. Jeopardy should apologise and give a clear explanation. This shouldn’t just pass calmly and be forgotten.”
“This [jeopardy incident] just shows how normalised the occupation and cleansing of the Palestinian people from the historical record has become,” Imraan Siddiqi, executive director of Council of American Islamic Relations Arizona chapter, told Al Jazeera.
James Zogby of Zogby Analytics, and an American public opinion pollster, said the incident “an insult to history, reality, the thousands of oppressed Palestinians of Bethlehem”.
This is outrageous. If “Israel” had been the answer, it would have been bad enough. But the fact that she gave “Palestine” as the thought answer and was told it was wrong makes this an outrage and an insult to history, reality, the thousands of oppressed Palestinians of Bethlehem
— James J. Zogby (@jjz1600) January 11, 2020
Zogby recently wrote that: “Suffering under Israeli military occupation since 1967, Bethlehem has slowly been strangled. It has lost most of its land to settlement construction. It is hemmed in by a 30-foot-high concrete wall, stripped of its resources, and denied access to external markets.”
The United Nations says Israeli settlements in Bethlehem and other parts of occupied West Bank are illegal, and has called them a “flagrant violation” of international law.
‘Ahistorical propaganda’
Tamara Nassar, an associate editor at Electronic Intifada, told Al Jazeera that the Jeopardy incident contributes to the “settler-colonial ideal of erasing Palestinians from their own cultural and religious sites – both in consciousness and in physical fact.
“While the audience is fed ahistorical propaganda, Israel often bars Palestinian Christians from Gaza from worshipping at Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity, the subject of the Jeopardy question,” Nassar added.
Christians in Gaza who plan to travel to the West Bank for Christmas or Easter have to apply for a temporary single-use permit to Israel from its Coordinator of the Government Activities in the Territories, which often arbitrarily denies many seeking the permit.
“Perhaps nothing resembles this engineered absence from the American public imagination more poetically than the way contestants are bound to form their responses as questions: What is Palestine?” Nassar noted.

Productive and reproductive parameters of indigenous chicken in Sandakan Sabah Malaysia
Ivoneca Sibin, (2018) Productive and reproductive parameters of indigenous chicken in Sandakan Sabah Malaysia. Universiti Malaysia Sabah. (Unpublished)
Productive and reproductive performance of boer and katjang goat at FSA farm.pdf
The indigenous chicken is the local chicken breed that are raised in free-range system in the rural area. Animal genetics experts had express their thoughts that these indigenous chickens are best to be conserved for future use in the industry. However, there is a lack of information on the true genetic potential, as well as the productive and reproductive performances of these chickens. The objective of this study is to determine and evaluate the productive and reproductive parameters of indigenous chicken in Sandakan Sabah, Malaysia. Data collection sheets were prepared to collect the information on the productive parameters of the indigenous chicken and the farmer's background. Indigenous chicken were selected randomly from the villages to collect data for egg parameters such as the total chick hatched per set, egg colour, weight and shape. A set of 70 eggs were collected randomly and brought to the FSA Poultry Science Laboratory. 20 eggs were broken for the external and internal egg quality evaluation. 50 eggs were placed in the incubator for incubation period of 21 days with the temperature between 37.2 to 38.8°C, and 50 to 65% of relative humidity. Initial weight of each day old chick (DOC) and the mortality rate were also recorded. From the results, most of the chicken were left under a backyard production and raised traditionally in a free range system although cages and barns were provided. The indigenous chickens do not lay eggs in the barns or nest boxes provided. It laid eggs on any available spot on the yard. The indigenous chicken eggs has whitish shell colour and smaller size, with long or oval shaped eggs. The average egg weight was 44.06 g (±1.11), average yolk weight of 12.85 g (±0.57), average albumin weight of 21.61 g (±0.504) and average shell thickness of 0.17 g (±0.06) with the weight of 4.59 g (±0.12). The fertility rate of the eggs was 84% and the hatchability rate was 52.38%. This were probably caused by many factors such as the genetic factors, vitamin deficiency or diseases infections during the incubation period. The average body weight of DOC is 27.36 g but increased to 172.05 g after s weeks. The total feed intake (g/day/birds) was 6.33 g for 1st week and increased to 29.31 g in 5th week. The FCR recorded was 2.84 which can be considered as high, and the total performance index (PI) for the 5 weeks was 2.33. During the rearing period, the chicken has low growth rate and high mortality rate up to 31.8%. As conclusion, there are no significant difference in between the productive and reproductive parameters of female indigenous chicken as the results collected were still within the range of results from previous research.
